2390109,22208895,2014-11-01,4358294,Inessa,"I had a great time staying here! The room is huge and sunny, and it was the perfect place to do some work and hang out in the afternoon before heading out to dinner. Alexandra and David were very welcoming hosts. They were always around to answer any questions. They had breakfast and coffee for me every morning and even left it on the table by the door on mornings when I had to rush out to the office.  The cats were really cute too!"
2390109,22619785,2014-11-10,12361335,Colibri,"What a wonderful space in a beautiful & quiet neighborhood. We had an entire floor to ourselves, which felt like our own little apartment. The neighborhood is perfect - close to parks, and just a short bike ride to cafes and shops. Sasha and David were warm, friendly hosts, that spoiled us with coffee & treats each morning. Looking forward to the next visit! x"

2390109,23338508,2014-11-29,23638127,Sophia,"When I saw the posting and how clean and simple the room was, I was expecting a little less. When the wife and I got there, first off, the hosts were so genuine and accommodating, we immediately ""felt at home."" They were so concerned about making sure they were there to greet us, and that we had accurate directions, etc. 

They take us upstairs. The picture that shows the room does not justify it. This room was huge! There are windows on one side that look over trees and greenery. Walk in closet. The bed is extremely comfortable. And then there's the bathroom. My wife looked at me and asked why her bathroom didn't look like this. I wish I had taken a picture.

The rest of the house is also very beautiful. The kitchen is immaculate, a chef's dream. The house is centrally located in Austin, so you can get to any section of Austin pretty quick. It's in a beautiful area, not too far from University of Texas, Austin. It's only 15 minutes from the airport.

Seriously, for the price, this was so much better than any hotel. My wife and I, when we return to Austin, would love to stay here again.

2390109,24989361,2015-01-04,3088100,Taylor,"This is one of the first times we've been hesitant to write a review because we've been afraid of letting the secret out. :) We come to Austin fairly regularly, and we hope that this place is available for our next stay too! 
The room is quite large and luxurious. The desk and large chair came in handy for my work and my wife's studying. I don't think the pictures do it justice. The view from the expansive windows is great. You feel like you're in the trees. The windows are _very_ good sound insulators, so we slept soundly each night. The bathroom is large and beautiful, and the shower is great. 
Downstairs, we had use of the extensive, well stocked kitchen and dining room. It's worth mentioning that their coffee machine makes some of the best coffee I've ever had. 
The house is extremely well located in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. I don't think we ever needed more than 10 minutes to get just about anywhere we needed to go, whether it was downtown, north, or south. 
Sasha and David are kind, friendly, and understanding people. We felt right at home from the moment we came in. They love cats, which was great for us, as we do too. The cats will come keep you company if you want, but are happy to leave you to your own devices if you'd prefer. So, there's no need to be a cat person to stay here - they're just an optional bonus. :) 

We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! "
2390109,25574851,2015-01-19,10335085,Olivia,"Alexandra is an angel and this room and bathroom is heavenly. Alexandra patiently communicated with me before the trip even though my plans changed a couple times as far as arrival time and number of guests but she was endlessly helpful. The room is right inside the front door and up the stairs making the space very private. The whole house is lovely and has an incredible view including from the room. Alexandra provides everything you will need in the room from towels to toiletries and coffee and tea. There's even a small fridge on the room. Everything is completely up to date even with an amazing shower that you will never find in a hotel. The space is also an easy drive to downtown. I wonder if I will ever find another listing like this one for this reasonable price. My friends loved it and Alexandra made sure we were all comfortable. When I return to Austin, this is where I'm staying. Thank you Alexandra!"
2390109,25733494,2015-01-24,26181068,Marki,"Awesome! That just about sums up our stay with Sasha & David!  Unfortunately, we never got to meet David, but Sasha could not have been more welcoming!  We were celebrating our 45th anniversary, and we were presented with a bottle of champagne! What a nice touch!
The room was simply amazing! The view was wonderful! The shower was fantastic!  The bed was so comfortable!  And, an added bonus was watching a half dozen or more raccoons,, plus a skunk (!), eating after dark on the property!  The house itself is in a wonderful part of Austin!  So hilly and beautiful!  
We would definitely return for another stay!  You can't go wrong with this fabulous airbnb location!
"
2390109,25780649,2015-01-25,26550023,Vinay,"Alexandra and David have a beautiful home. The 2nd floor is fantastic, as it offers plenty of space, a mattress foam bed, and a beautiful bathroom. They were great, accommodating my change in arrival time and even setting out an extra bed when I mentioned that I may have a guest."
2390109,26464428,2015-02-13,27033426,Rob,"Quiet, high-end neighborhood (homes > $1M) with short drive to downtown or UT.   Hosts are warm and thoughtful--feels like home.  Was there 10 days and hated to leave!!!"
2390109,26546211,2015-02-15,477206,Isabel,"Alexandra and her husband were so kind. Their home is fantastic! The floor we stayed on was private, clean and very relaxing. It was difficult to leave the room at times with the large open windows looking out to a gorgeous view. It was so peaceful, we wanted to stay in all weekend!

We were in town for Valentine's Day and a race. Alexandra set out chocolates and flowers for us. Very sweet!

Thank you for having us in your lovely home. All the best from us both!"
2390109,27078287,2015-02-24,27942444,Kevin,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it surely exceeded all my expectations.  My hosts were exceptionally gracious and the second floor space was quiet, private, immaculate, and provided a spectacular view of the Shoal Creek parkway right from bed.  If you are a dog lover, as I am, take a walk south on the Shoal Creek Trail and you will run into a dog park.  There were plenty of friendly dogs to interact with.  It is also short walking distance to some delicious food venues – the fish tacos at Cabo Bobs were quite tasty."
2390109,27697581,2015-03-09,28694261,Cody,"Alexandra welcomed us into her home and gave us a short, yet informative, tour of the area in which we would be staying. The beautifully appointed room (excellent natural light from huge windows!) was complete with coffee and tea, bottled water, and plush towels. 

The beautiful neighborhood is north of downtown Austin, but a quick walk (~30 min) along Shoal Creek path gets you right into the heart of downtown. It was very convenient to not have a car and stay here. There are plenty of neighborhood places that Alexandra made sure to recommend that we could easily walk to for food and drinks.

The photos and description that Alexandra provides are incredibly accurate. You will love staying in her stylish and comfortable room! It felt like we had our own place to stay; not that we were guests in someone's home. "
2390109,28070916,2015-03-17,6626665,Eric,"The room is fantastic with nice sight lines from the windows and a very comfortable bed.  Alexandra was a great host, welcoming me when I arrived and available if I needed anything but also very discreet and respectful of privacy.  The location is a fast a cheap uber ride to downtown.  I highly recommend the place."
2390109,28690096,2015-03-28,29507964,Patrick,Let me start by saying that this was my first experience with airbnb and it was AWESOME!  Alexandria (and her husband) were outstanding host and the the room was outstanding as well. Its the little details in life that really make a difference and my stay could not have been more pleasing. A particular bonus was the near immediate response I received back when reserving the space and their willingness to accommodate me on such short notice (only a couple hours). Would definitely recommend to others who are looking for something up-scale  and will return back next time in Austin.
2390109,30179851,2015-04-18,21103920,Laura,"My mom and I both loved our stay with Alexandra. The room is spacious and both the queen bed and twin bed on the floor were comfortable. Loved the walk in closet with mini fridge, wall of windows and huge bathroom. Definitely make sure to take a walk around the neighborhood if you have the time. Alexandra mad checking in and out a breeze and have us a great tour of our accommodations upon arrival. As this was my mom's first airbnb experience, she was pleasantly surprised. She enjoyed the netflix access on the TV in the room. This was a great last minute booking.  Uber ride to downtown was about $9 from here. "
2390109,30371259,2015-04-20,28512484,Jeremie,"Very nice and cozy place, the neiboughood is charming and buses can bring in town quickly, little snacks, coffe and are given, Alexandra advice us on nice things to see on the road, definitly nice!"
2390109,30685951,2015-04-26,14844130,Cath,"Graham and I used this spot as our home base as we explored Austin to potentially move there. It is centrally located, right off Lamar, near some great restaurants, UT, and downtown. The space was quiet, clean and so pretty! Our hosts were friendly and answered our questions without being intrusive or nosy. It was really appreciated as we were weighing so many decisions, timetables and such. It was a great experience for us. "
2390109,31140388,2015-05-02,1662177,Alvin,"Great experience in this beautiful, very private room.  Alexandra was extremely responsive in communicating throughout the entire stay. She even provided a water, chocolates, cheese, and soda!  I had a positive experience and would stay again."
2390109,31406809,2015-05-04,5722783,Jason,"Alexandra & husband David made my first stay at their lovely Austin so easy, comfortable, and pleasant.  Communication and responsiveness was a breeze, without ever being intrusive.  The space is so generous, well-appointed & relaxing -- guests will find themselves gazing out the bank of eastern-facing windows to soak in the striking view.  Black-out curtains will conversely handily keep any morning sun from waking guests unnecessarily early.

The neighborhood is beautiful and handily located for easy access to UT-North Campus shopping/dining, brief drive for on/off access via Loop 1 (MoPAC), as well as Lamar and/or Guadalupe.  15 minute trips to:  downtown, Ben White (71) & Capital of Texas highways (Barton Creek area), as well as Loop 1 (MoPAC) / 183 interchange.

Be aware that one must be comfortable with steps/stairs:  down to front door from street level;  up stairwell to upper level suite.  Nothing too taxing, however!

So pleased with this property and hosts, am planning to RSVP for monthly board meetings in Austin!  "
2390109,32001921,2015-05-12,29658564,Natanel,"It was wonderful staying here. The area is spacious and our hostess, Alexandra, was gracious.  We appreciated the cleanliness and large windows!"
2390109,32618189,2015-05-19,32917818,Mauricio,"I can't say enough about how great this room was and how wonderful our hosts, Alexandra & David, were.  The bed was beyond comfortable and all the amenities, such as fridge, tea kettle, and local Austin books and magazines, made this stay unbelievable. The bathroom was very clean and spacious, which made it easy for my fiance and I to get ready simultaneously. We loved the location, and our warm hosts guided us to numerous local restaurants and attractions. We can't wait to return!"
2390109,34977694,2015-06-14,7227560,Mary,"We had a wonderful time in this nice neighborhood, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  Alexandra met me at the door and gave me a tour... and encouraged me to come and go as I needed to.  Prepare to be spoiled - this is a cut above most of the places I've stayed!"
2390109,37366378,2015-07-06,20181013,Amy,"We had a great stay in Alexandra's home. The room is lovely and spacious with hotel-style amenities. There were nice fluffy towels for us to use, waters and snacks in the fridge, and a great view through the large windows. The bed was also super comfortable. It's slightly out of the way from downtown, but we took an Uber there for less than $10 each way, and the neighborhood is very beautiful. We didn't interact much with Alexandra since she was out of town, but she was very responsive and nice. "
2390109,37823737,2015-07-10,37919142,Amy,"Lovely, spacious and private with a lovely ""treehouse"" view. Everything was fresh, clean and new. Beautiful neighborhood, convenient to restaurants and UT. I would definitely stay here again!"
2390109,37937699,2015-07-11,38082993,Ganesh,Alexandra's place was excellent and we liked it very much. It was an excellent stay and hospitality was good. We liked the room overlooking lot of tress through the large window. It was just the way we wanted it to be. Also the surrounding was having lot of trees and neighborhood was too good. We loved it!!!
2390109,38087955,2015-07-12,36805007,Jennifer,"I can't say enough about Alexandra's room, or rather, floor! I was on the last leg of a very busy business trip and this was the perfect, most relaxing way to spend my last night. Both Alexandra and her husband we're very respectful of my privacy, but also very welcoming to a relaxing friendly chat. I would highly recommend this to anyone! "
2390109,38929153,2015-07-19,36062149,Liz,"This was my first time using AirBnB, and we could have not asked for a better experience! First of all, Alexandra and David are such nice people who truly know how to host. Alexandra made sure we had plenty of recommendations where to go, and even called a restaurant for us to see their availability before we arrived. We were celebrating our anniversary, and in the mini fridge there was champagne for us! Along with that were chocolates, yogurt, bananas, drinks, coffee and tea. The room and bathroom were high quality, clean, and spacious. We couldn't believe how nice everything was for the price we paid. There was no negative thing about this place, but my favorite thing was how accommodating and caring they were for our dog. It was so nice to stay with people who are animal lovers like us, and our dog loved the place too. Everything was such a breeze! Definitely will stay here again when I come back to Austin. "
2390109,40038959,2015-07-27,36662080,Shannon,"More peaceful than a hotel--and there's Netflix...  The loft was an oasis in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood convenient to all my favorite spots in Austin.  Alexandra had thought of everything, including extra toiletries if I'd forgotten anything, and snacks and water bottles in the fridge.  She even lent me a pillow so my rental car would stop hurting my back, and I almost took it to the airport with me by accident!  The only downside was that I stood outside too long one day and the mosquitoes found me--but that's south Texas for you.  The easy chair is dangerous and may lead to unplanned naps. ;)  This place will be at the top of my list for my next trip to Austin!"
2390109,40980472,2015-08-03,15240342,Claudia,"I really enjoyed my stay in Alexandra's home. The room and bathroom are incredibly spacious. The room is bright due to the windows that face the backyard. The walk-in closet had a small fridge with yogurt, water and orange juice, which I really appreciated. The home is quiet so it's perfect if you're looking to get a good night's rest - the bed is very comfortable. The property is located in a beautiful neighborhood in Austin. Alexandra is warm, friendly, and easy going. I would definitely stay there again if I returned to Austin."
2390109,42888560,2015-08-16,29063822,Jared,"Great property.   Foam bed and huge shower.  How could you not like this place?!!  Extremely hard to get out of bed, plus the hosts were generous enough to let us stay a few hours past our check out time.  Much appreciated!

Would 100% stay here again!"
2390109,44030490,2015-08-23,41102302,Becky,"Alexandra was the perfect host! The room was an absolute dream. The bed is soooo comfortable! The home is very quiet, surrounded by trees, in a lovely neighborhood. Downtown Austin is a short 10 min drive away, and the house is close to many highways. Alexandra made us feel right at home from the start. She is so thoughtful and made our stay such a joy. I will definitely stay with her again when in Austin!"
2390109,45049495,2015-08-30,42838618,Jerrett,Alexandra was awesome and I was so pleased with the space! It was incredibly comfortable and only about 8 minutes from some Austin hot spots. A perfect first airbnb experience! 
2390109,46055994,2015-09-07,2874155,Andrew,"The room was clean, quiet, and very private. We really enjoyed our stay here and they had delicious snacks to boot that we had for breakfast each morning. Alexandra was very accommodating and responsive to any needs we had. When we're back in Austin we hope to stay here again!  "
2390109,47695367,2015-09-21,9794166,Gabe,"Staying at Alexandra's place was such an amazing experience. As soon as my wife and I walked into the home we felt welcomed like family. The home is in a beautiful location that was a 10 min drive ($6-$8 Uber/Lyft) from downtown/6th street. The room is clean, large, and has a wonderful view of the greenbelt and western edge of the UT Campus. We really loved the mini-fridge, tea kettle, and delicious snacks that were left for us. The bathroom feels really luxurious and the shower is killer. The bed was very comfortable and we had our own thermostat control which was perfect with the hot weather we experienced when we were there.  Alexandra and her husband were perfect hosts because they were super approachable if we needed anything, but also gave us our privacy. 100% recommend this room and would definitely return in the future. "
2390109,48119398,2015-09-23,9630306,Jane,"Alexandra and David were great hosts, available if we needed anything, but otherwise left us to our privacy. The room and bath were very private and really spacious and beautiful. There was a large walk-in closet that also had a refrigerator with drinks and snacks, 
and a coffeemaker. I am somewhat familiar with Austin so knew the fabulous neighborhood was convenient to downtown. I was really very happy with the location, and the 2nd floor view out over the trees of the neighboring park. I would return here in a heartbeat."
2390109,48433349,2015-09-26,42237646,David,This was my first airBNB experience and it went very well! The hosts were great about communicating and gave me a wonderful welcome tour. After that it truly felt like my own private suite. I really appreciated the iron and the stocked mini fridge. The hosts clearly gave thought to making my stay as comfortable as possible. I would definitely come back! Thank you!
2390109,49464507,2015-10-04,5722783,Jason,"Return visit beautiful as always, especially our hosts !"
2390109,51579282,2015-10-21,10975821,Mark,"Alexandra and David could not have been more gracious, kind and caring. My son and I felt right at home...immediately. When Alexandra learned that I was helping my son to get moved into his new apartment and buy a used car, she provided lots of very helpful insight and information about Austin. And it turned out she, David and I have much in common, from love of travel, to cooking, wine, cats, etc. Their home is gorgeous with a great location along Shoal Creek in a very upscale neighborhood. The top floor room we stayed in was ideal. Wonderful view, great big room with a comfy bed, big easy chair, tv, closet with refrigerator, and a very spacious and modern bathroom. When my wife and I come to Austin to visit our son, I told Alexandra we will be staying at out new 'home-away-from-home'. "
2390109,51871341,2015-10-24,16129679,Lauren,"Alexandra's home was incredibly clean, welcoming, and quiet.  It's situated in a very quiet and classy neighborhood, an easy Uber ride from the city center.  I felt completely safe there, especially as I was traveling alone.  She was very kind and greeted me warmly, but also allowed me my space.  The organic bananas and KIND bars were a lovely added touch!  I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
2390109,52002985,2015-10-25,7534054,Daniel,Very receptive. Kind enough to show me all around on arrival despite the late hour. The room and bathroom are both wonderful! Black out curtains are very convenient! I had a very restful stay! 
2390109,53237389,2015-11-06,9410681,Jeff,Super hosts with very generous warm welcome. Wish I could have stayed longer.
577473,5695155,2013-07-12,764959,Lovita,"Though we didnt get a chance to meet Linda in person, but it was nice staying at her place. My 2 year old loved watching the Disney movies. The kitchen had all the appliances and pots n pans that you need. Overall a nice stay! Thanks Charlie for being so responsive!"
577473,8994836,2013-12-01,8366545,Karen," Linda was a welcoming and gracious host - making sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Even beyond my own stay, she also ensured that my daughters had a good time at her home with individual beds. We all enjoyed Linda's great kitchen, too, where we prepared  and enjoyed holiday meals. Linda was very responsive in communicating ahead of my stay and made sure I could reach her at any time just in case I had any questions. Linda's screened-in back porch was cozy and the large yard and decks were also very nice. The neighborhood is only a 10-minute drive from downtown and there is convenient shopping, including Whole Foods, and many restaurants nearby. This was a very nice stay!"
577473,13155133,2014-05-20,2661858,Peter,"Linda was traveling and I never met her, but her house was very nice and the instructions and my communications with her were very clear and helpful.  Everything else was as described on airbnb."

577473,26768127,2015-02-18,27737941,Sheri,"Linda was a warm and welcoming hostess.  We really enjoyed meeting her, and getting to know her.  The home was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood felt very safe.   She is very kid friendly, all my children thoroughly enjoyed her and the home.  I am sure we will stop in again next time we are in Austin."
577473,28405338,2015-03-23,27566153,Pamela,"In a world that can often feel impersonal, Austin House is a very special place where you will be treated like family.  Linda and her beautiful home exemplify airbnb at its best--in the words of my son, ""Linda is the nicest person I have ever met!""  Thank you so much, Linda, for opening your home to others!  Austin House is a real treasure!  "
577473,29630018,2015-04-10,1404801,Stephanie,"Linda is a wonderful hostess. She enjoys meeting new people, and we had some great conversations. The setting is perfect -- very clean with lots of privacy. Don't miss her deck. She even prepared breakfast and that was an unexpected treat. I'll definitely request her as a hostess again, particularly since I go to Austin for business periodically."
577473,30041037,2015-04-16,25077285,Citra,"Ms. Linda was a great host. She was welcoming, helpful, and easy to talk to. She provided breakfast during our entire stay, which was nice. The listing description is accurate. Our room was clean and really comfortable. The bathroom was also nice with basic necessities for shower (clean towels, shampoo, soap, etc) provided for us. One of the things that we really appreciated from our stay was the neighborhood. It was quiet and safe. Overall, we had a great trip to Austin, TX and a very pleasant stay."
577473,33839852,2015-06-01,23094448,Cesar,"Linda was a great host. She is an adorable lady and also very smart. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. She offered to made us breakfast in the morning and told us about good places to eat around. The neighborhood is quiet, safe and just 10 minutes from downtown Austin. I would definitely stay with her next time I visit Austin!!"

577473,40240561,2015-07-29,26183615,Jan,"I am a repeating guest at Linda's home, which is exceedingly comfortable and I am warmly welcomed.  The neighborhood is conveniently located and quiet."
577473,42090415,2015-08-10,40537494,Matt,"THANKS! Linda 

My story is a little different.  I booked a room. There was a mistake within the booking system. 

Linda became aware she had been double booked.  As rare as that is she handled it like a champ. Helping me, a rookie at airbnb , find a place to stay. 

Can't wait to visit Austin again and make sure I get to meet this angel.  "
2266768,10343504,2014-02-14,12190168,Zeke,Wonderful place to stay; very comfortable and great bathroom!
2266768,10374195,2014-02-16,247816,Susan,I loved this place and would stay there again. Kristine is very welcoming and helpful 
2266768,10453854,2014-02-19,5466363,Andrea,"My friend and I stayed in Kristine's flat while we were in town to see a concert. The house was adorable, smartly decorated and had everything we needed. She even had a selection of beverages in the fridge. The bathroom is especially rad. The location was walking distance from bars and restaurants. We met Kristine briefly, and she was super friendly and very welcoming. I'd love to stay again next time I'm in Austin."
2266768,10552500,2014-02-24,4873259,Annie,Great stay! Kristine's place was very comfortable and clean. Would stay there again. 
2266768,10648647,2014-03-01,1400418,Sara,"Flew in from SF & I booked a couple nights during a week full of work meetings, dinners etc. in Austin. . . The moment I walked in to Kristine's flat I knew I was in for a treat! Kristine was easy to communicate with the entire time ( I wish I had the opportunity to meet her but I think due to our schedules we kept missing each other! ) Clean, Cozy, Warm and classy. Best n' biggest shower ever! 
I would love to book again next time I visit! I always rent a bike when I'm in Austin and Kristine's flat was about 2.5 miles from downtown 6th st. . . beautiful little bike ride. 
Highly recommend this little oasis to anyone looking for a quiet n' cozy retreat after a long day. 
"
2266768,10820176,2014-03-09,12130677,Tim,"The place is even nicer than it looks in these pictures.  You truly feel like you have your own *space* (not just a room).

Love the neighborhood -- from what I can tell, it's like the Astoria of Austin (ie, what Williamsburg used to be before it became truly ""hip"").  Walk down a few blocks to Rosewood and Angelina and you're at some great food stands.  Walk a few more blocks to 6th and Comal and you're at the center of the ""alternative"" bar scene.

Kristine and her family let you have your own space, but when you do cross paths, you realize that they are excellent people too.  They are very laid back, and are perfect for guests who are the same.

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants something better, cheaper, and more authentic than a (website hidden) - this location is great for having a bike!  I had a good experience with the following:

It was the perfect place to stay in Austin. Close to a lot of cute restarts and the East Austin night life, but in a quiet residential neighborhood so you can rest up for tomorrow's adventures. 
Thank you Kristine for hosting us! We had a blast!"
2266768,11048333,2014-03-18,11581072,Daniel,"This place was great. I stayed here for SXSW, but I would and stay here again any time. The location is ideal and easily walkable to downtown. The flat offers great privacy and also has laundry and other amenities that will come in handy for an extended stay. There's not a bad thing I could say about the flat. Highly recommended. "
2266768,11129714,2014-03-22,705273,Ian,"We had a perfect stay at Kristine's flat.  It is clean, spacious, beautifully decorated and has an extremely comfortable (and large) bed.  It was the perfect base from which to explore Austin, as we could walk to several famous food carts/restaurants in East Austin and then had easy access to the highway and downtown for driving elsewhere.  Kristine could not have been easier to communicate with and was incredibly generous and kind, allowing us to use her Pack'n'Play for our 6 month old while we were there and then even letting us borrow it for a few more days as we traveled outside Austin.  She also helped coordinate babysitting for us!  Kristine and her family were always welcoming and friendly when we saw them, though our space still felt very private and completely our own.  We simply could not have had a better stay and would stay there again in a second."
2266768,11155695,2014-03-23,7634248,Mariam,My husband and I stayed here for a night and enjoyed it! Kristine was very helpful and responsive beforehand - definitely recommend staying here. 
2266768,11219529,2014-03-25,2934769,John,"Kristine's place was amazing!  There was plenty of room, comfortable bed, clean, and hands down the best shower in the world.  The location is in a great part of town in what I would describe as authentic Austin.  Just a few blocks to great bistros, restaurants, bars, and B-cycles.  B-cycles are the best way to zip around Austin.  Kristine was a great host and was very accommodating in our stay.  I would absolutely recommend Kristine's granny flat."
2266768,11352995,2014-03-31,8309110,Daron,My wife and I had a wonderful time in the flat. It was spacious and very private with a comfortable bed and great shower. Kristine and her family were very helpful with suggestions. Would definitely recommend staying here. 
2266768,12160323,2014-04-24,411471,Natalie,"Kristine's flat is lovely: comfortable, spotless, and private.  While it's only 1.5-2 miles to downtown Austin, it's not a pleasant walk, and I avoided it after dark."
2266768,12330976,2014-04-29,6291050,Lindsay,"My boyfriend and I stayed in the Modern Granny Flat for 4 nights, and had a great experience.  The location is super close to downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood that removes you from all the madness of the scene.  We arrived and the key was right where Kristine said it would be, the flat was clean and looked just as it does in the pictures, and had towels, soaps, lotions and other helpful amenities ready to go.  As other reviewers mention, the shower is awesome!  And even more importantly, the bed is very comfortable and there were plenty of pillows.  We never used the a/c or tv while we were there, preferring the fan and sound of the birds chirping outside.  
We walked to a coffee shop one morning and got a feel for the neighborhood, which is very cute and quiet, and appears to have a lot of neat looking houses going up all around.  It was also convenient to have a driveway spot to park, as we had a rental car for the duration of our stay.  
Overall I would highly recommend the Modern Granny Flat to anyone coming to Austin to visit, it was a fantastic place to stay!"
2266768,12596914,2014-05-05,14858594,Christianne,"My Modern Granny Flat stay was great. Very close to downtown, with a bus that runs often and with the yellowcab app, taking taxis was a breeze. The place is lovely and like others have mentioned the shower is fantastic! Kristine was super responsive too! It's my first airbnb experience so I hope they are all this good."
2266768,12648188,2014-05-06,15030590,Jessica,My husband and I stayed here for one night during a quick trip to Austin. The hosts were extremely nice and the flat was very relaxing and the pictures just don't do it justice. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and would definitely book again for another trip!!
2266768,12824730,2014-05-12,2675241,Emily,"Kristine's Modern Granny Flat is even better than it looks in the pictures. It's in a quiet neighborhood about two minutes from the highway. It's perfect for anyone who wants to stay about five minutes from downtown Austin, but not have to pay the exorbitant rates to stay there. Kristine and her family live in a house attached to the flat. They were very friendly and always around, but did not intrude in our business. All in all, an excellent airbnb choice. 
"
2266768,12899597,2014-05-13,14284425,Annette,"Kristine's place is great. It's even better than the pictures. Fun part of town, too. Would recommend it to anyone looking to have a memorable Austin experience."
2266768,12965449,2014-05-15,3630889,Scott,Great location. Comfy and aesthetically pleasing accommodation which was private and had easy access. You couldn't ask for more when looking for a close approximation to downtown in Austin. 
2266768,13023960,2014-05-17,1025282,Suzanne,"A serene and delightful experience.  Kristine's granny flat is beautiful, comfortable, convenient and quiet.  I would stay again any time.  You have to see and experience the shower, wow!  A giant walk in wrapped in sea colored tiles, I want one.  The property is so close to everything but the street is quiet and dark, very good for sleeping.  The bed is big and so soft and decadent with pillows and a comforter.  The couch is the perfect place to curl up and watch some tv late at night. Kristine was the perfect host, helpful and friendly.  Thank you so much!"
2266768,13138269,2014-05-20,13390507,Shanda,The host family was very quiet. I met Casey and his daughter when I arrived but didn't see anyone after that day. The neighborhood was quiet and very close to the university campus. The cottage was lovely and convenient with a beautiful shower!
2266768,13349402,2014-05-26,3126019,Caroline,"We enjoyed our stay at Kristine's flat and would definitely recommend it to others! The flat was stylish, comfortable, and conveniently located in East Austin. The king-sized bed and walk-in shower were great additions. "
2266768,13459114,2014-05-27,3903271,Andre,"We never saw Kristine or anyone else during the one-night stay that we had, which we didn't mind because we were looking for a quiet, relaxing stay.  Kristine was quick to answer our pre-trip questions and she was very helpful.  The shower and bathroom really are spectacular as others have noted.  The neighborhood is eclectic as you would expect in East Austin.  There are some very nice homes and also some run-down homes.  In the morning I walked a few blocks to the Hillside Farmacy for breakfast and it was delightful.  The only negative thing I have to say is that the pictures were slightly misleading in that they didn't show that the kitchenette is not connect to the rest of the flat.  It is separated by a breezeway which is only slightly inconvenient if you plan on bringing or making food at the place. Overall, we were happy with our stay."
2266768,13528049,2014-05-29,16029198,Jennifer,"Kristine's flat was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go, the place was clean and quiet and beautifully done.  The bathroom was a huge selling point, as was the comfortable king size bed and high end bedding.  Kristine made herself available in case we needed advice on where to go, and was very accommodating and sweet. I would definitely stay here again next time I visit."
2266768,13611230,2014-06-01,7582349,Jason,"Great little spot, very clean, well-appointed,  and quiet."
2266768,13823872,2014-06-05,15268890,Beth,We loved staying at the modern granny flat. Beautifully decorated with an amazing shower. The location was great and we were able to walk to the downtown area easily. Thanks again for everything! 
2266768,13882476,2014-06-07,4495212,Martine,"My boyfriend and I had the most amazing time in Austin. The granny flat was everything we could have wanted after a long day of traveling. Kristine's flat was perfect. The shower is such a treat, as well as the king size bed. It was clean, comfortable, and in a great location.  I would come back in a heartbeat.
"
2266768,14079916,2014-06-11,149028,Adrienne,"The place was really lovely and cozy. The kitchen is not a ""cooking"" kitchen but rather a place to store snacks with a fridge. It is separate from the space but only by a breezeway. But a very quiet and private stay."
2266768,14288607,2014-06-16,7055349,Susan,"Really enjoyed staying at the modern granny flat.  Its exactly as it appears in the pictures, and the shower WAS really impressive!  Location is good - lots of fun stuff in East Austin withing walking distance, plus Austin B Cycle station not too far away, and always plenty of Car2Gos around.  Very quiet place, and accomodating hosts.  Note to future guests - Micklethwait Meats is not too far from here and has WAY shorter lines than Franklin BBQ.  Just sayin'..."
2266768,14372957,2014-06-17,3244140,Chris,Great place exactly as listed and pictured. Highly recommend. Thanks!
2266768,14581879,2014-06-22,2563664,Lindsey,Very nice stay in a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything. Bed was comfortable and the shower was wonderful! Kristine was quick to reply making everything smooth. Her house is feet away but we always felt we had our own space with the necessary privacy. I would defiently stay again. 
2266768,14985528,2014-06-30,16445672,William,Had a great time. The space is perfect. 
2266768,15071901,2014-07-01,8956330,Ray,"Wonderful little place. Clean, cozy and comfortable with a spacious bathroom with a giant open shower and natural light. Would definitely stay here again."
2266768,15376567,2014-07-07,15722806,Matthew,"I arrived late (plane troubles) but was happy to see the lights on waiting for me and happier still when I entered.  It's a very charming place.  

I didn't interact in person with Kristine but she was very accommodating over e-mail.

A great stay."
2266768,15853812,2014-07-16,15541563,Thu,"Kristine was wonderful. We didn't actually get to meet in person, but she was nice and responded to all my questions right away! The house was wonderful - clean and unique. It looked just like the pictures and even better. I liked the location a lot because the area is quiet and access to the city and campus are easy as well. Overall, I was so glad to stay at Kristine's and I would recommend it to anyone!"
2266768,16150304,2014-07-22,17676577,Kevin,"Great place. Centrally located close to downtown and UT. Very clean and quite, easy to find. King size bed, great for couples. Free wifi. Charming."
2266768,16562255,2014-07-29,9840962,Sarah,"We had a great stay at the Modern Granny Flat. The place was very clean and a short drive from all Austin has to offer. We had trouble accessing wifi at the start of the trip, but Kristine was quick to resolve the issue! I wouldn't recommend this place if you are wanting to use a kitchen for meal prep, but we simply used the fridge which worked perfect for us. Overall, a great little place!"
2266768,17052854,2014-08-06,17264704,George,We enjoyed our stay very much. It's a cute flat with a great location.
2266768,17137229,2014-08-07,4456218,Tonya,"Nice little place! Really easy to get to and check-in/ check-out was a breeze. The bed was super comfy and ass others have mentioned , the shower is awesome!

Communication was top notch. 

My only complaint is that I was super allergic to the wild grasses and weeds in the yard, but if I'd have packed my meds, I would have been fine. "
2266768,17394669,2014-08-11,8551874,Summer,We had a great trip. The studio was the perfect place to come back to after long days and nights with friends who live in town. The place was clean and set up well. Kristine made it very easy to check in and even gave some great recommendations for restaurants. We tried Bufalina. It was delicious and right up our alley. We will keep this on our list of places to stay when we are back in town. 
2266768,18201470,2014-08-23,12728346,Kate,"Kristine have us very clear instructions of how to find her home which were really useful as we'd never visited the area before. The flat was exactly what we needed, close to town and quiet. The facilities were great - the bed was great for a perfect night sleep and the shower was amazing! I would stay there again if I visited Austin! "
2266768,18342562,2014-08-25,7892313,Mike,"Great place that was just as advertised. Centrally located -- just a short drive or about 20 min walk from east 6th and close to downtown as well. If you're not going to walk, I recommend using uber to get around especially if you're heading to east 6th bc there is very limited parking in that area. Definitely recommend!"
2266768,18800764,2014-09-01,5077122,Jessica,"We loved the Modern Granny Flat! It is 100% true to the pictures, and the perfect amount of space for one or two people. The bed was so comfortable, and the shower was amazing (and huge!).

We didn't use the kitchen at all, but it looked perfectly nice. There were too many delicious restaurants to try in Austin! We'd highly recommend Tamale House East and Cenote for breakfast or lunch - they're both within a 5-minute drive, also in East Austin (such a cool developing neighborhood, and much more low-key than downtown).

We had a car, but you can also easily take Uber anywhere around Austin. 

We didn't have a chance to meet Kristine, but she was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with. We'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable alternative to a hotel. "
2266768,19147345,2014-09-07,17264158,Melinda,Our stay at the granny flat was great. Shower was fantastic and we slept well on a very comfortable king size bed. All was very clean  and accommodating. Kristine and her husband  were perfect host and we would highly recommend staying  at their flat  Close to downtown and a quiet neighborhood. Thanks for everything ... Melinda and Tony
2266768,19937861,2014-09-21,19175925,Wiebke,The apartment is very nice and is exactly like on the photos. We felt really comfortable staying there. The shower is amazing and you have everything you need for two persons in the apartment. Kristine is a very friendly person and the contact was very nice. We really loves the cats which sometimes came around outside.
2266768,20420237,2014-09-29,19252531,Mike,Exactly as described in the listing. Very comfortable accommodations and convenient location. You can easily walk to a lot of downtown locations. The neighborhood itself is very quiet so you can have a peaceful night's sleep. I highly recommend it. 
2266768,21119533,2014-10-12,3750662,Kerstin,"We had a great stay in Kristine's flat this past weekend! She was a very gracious host. It was very clean, perfect for two guests, and had all the necessities for a comfortable stay. A big plus is that the flat is in a quiet neighborhood, but still a short distance from all that Austin has to offer. The East Austin area is very close and has a lot to offer. Would definitely recommend this flat to anyone looking to stay in the area. "
2266768,21330729,2014-10-14,5191643,John,Kristine has a great place... very nice and cozy.  I instantly felt at home and relaxed.  The shower is epic and huge... stay there! 
2266768,21510890,2014-10-19,1248352,Andrea,"Kristine was such a wonderful host and this place is ADORABLE! It's walking distance to many hot spots and the neighborhood was very friendly.  I will stay here again in a heartbeat!  Don't hesitate...  BOOK IT NOW before somebody else does! ;)
"
2266768,21787661,2014-10-24,21379984,Joy,Thanks so much for the wonderful stay! The flat was beautiful and location was great. 
2266768,21930378,2014-10-26,22857599,Jolie,"Had a great stay at Kristine's. The place looks just like the pictures, and the bed and couch were both very comfortable. It was clean and in a quiet neighborhood. I was able to walk downtown, which was a great plus! "
2266768,22053500,2014-10-28,4280579,Sarah,"Kristine's place was lovely, she and her husband were very accommodating.  That shower was massive!!!!  ..felt like I was at a resort."
2266768,22287923,2014-11-03,14104079,Rami,"Our trip to Austin was everything we hoped it would be, and staying in Kristine's flat was perfect. We had easy access to downtown and the airport. The flat was very clean and comfortable. The shower is even more amazing than the pictures show, and the bed was cozy. We are usually very picky and slept well for the four nights we were here. The next time we come to Austin we will definitely be trying to book here again. This was our first time using Airbnb, and thanks to Kristine it definitely will not be our last. "
2266768,22494470,2014-11-08,19754920,David,"Communication with Kristine was very good, the Granny Flat as described (awesome super sized shower), and the location perfect. East Austin, very close to downtown and UT, we had a great time.  "
2266768,22840609,2014-11-16,13282058,Brandon,"We had a great experience in Austin, and it truly did start with settling in to this flat, regroup, and recharge when needed. Flat is separate from the rest of the home, but brand new and updated with Austin flavor. The Shower was unbelievable, and plenty big! Very clean, comfortable, and all the amenities we needed for a long weekend in Austin. Great location too, walking distance to East 6th st. and a short $5 Uber ride to downtown. "
2266768,23071335,2014-11-22,14644409,Peter,Wonderful home. Great neighborhood. Kristine's parents are really sweet and the two cats are adorable. Great place to hang in Austin 
2266768,25329108,2015-01-12,3107024,Veronica,"The flat was in a great location-close, but not too close to downtown. Very accessible and had everything we needed. 

The shower was lovely but be warned there is no door. And we had an unfortunate cold and rainy weekend so the place was a bit cold, but the heating unit did its job. I can imagine in hot Texas weather the cement flooring is heaven. 

Bed was super comfortable too! The wifi never worked while we were there. Kristine was super responsive but we never got it to work. Not a huge deal but just a heads up in case you are relying on it. "
2266768,25610285,2015-01-20,20491665,Andy,The apartment was outstanding. The luxurious shower was very refreshing. The tv had Netflix for the night I decided to stay in. I definitely recommend this spot. 
2266768,25738582,2015-01-25,409217,Casey,"This flat was a perfect oasis for our time in Austin. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the whole space sweetly decorated. We only wish we could have spent more time. And, the shower is as epic as it looks! "
2266768,25976462,2015-01-31,506144,Alyson,"This flat looks exactly as it does in the photos and the shower really is huge! It's a lovely, homey and private place to stay in the heart of Austin. (You can reach just about any restaurant or tourist site with a $3 Uber ride.) Kristine and her family and kitties were very friendly and checking in was a breeze. Kristine even lets you park in her driveway, which is a huge bonus considering how hard it is to park everywhere in the city. Highly recommended! I would definitely stay here again."
2266768,26142298,2015-02-04,4070468,Daniel J,"Kristine made check-in and check-out painless and efficient. The flat is lovely, with fresh air, good climate control, comfortable furniture, and a huge bathroom where a small car could shower with you; a very clean and welcoming space, true to its listing. The neighborhood is quiet, walkable, and well-maintained. I highly recommend Kristine's flat for a simple, affordable, clean, and comfortable space."
2266768,26593563,2015-02-16,12969324,Leah,The flat was exactly as pictured. Shower and bed are just as amazing as they look. I didn't realize that the kitchen and washer/dryer were a separate entrance from the bedroom but that may have been oversight on my part. We walked almost everywhere from the flat but Ubers were readily available for when we needed to be somewhere quickly. Would definitely come back.
2266768,27103245,2015-02-25,2765215,Maura,"The apartment was great--exactly as it looked in the photos and Kristine was a great host. My flights were delayed and I ended up arriving quite late but Kristine was very accommodating. I would absolutely recommend, especially to solo travelers looking for a comfortable and quiet base in Austin. "
2266768,27546212,2015-03-07,17846998,Gayle,"Beautiful, unique place and very clean! In a residential area but easy to get to great neighborhoods walking or a quick cab ride. Would definitely recommend!"
2266768,27574145,2015-03-08,15706085,Astrid,"This is just a beautiful, peaceful, well located house. Would definitely recommend. My first time in Austin, really glad I chose this place. The shower is amazing, the bed super comfortable. I recommend going for a run in the area to get a feeling of the houses here. Really cool/hipsterish :) "
2266768,27791307,2015-03-12,335451,Ruthe,"Wonderful and welcoming place.  Love the design aesthetic.  It was a really wonderful escape from the hubbub of downtown Austin during SXSW, but also really close to downtown."
2266768,28115960,2015-03-18,12302449,Laura,"Kristine and her husband were wonderful and very accommodating. The flat was as described and the location wasn't too far outside town.  I came here for SXSW and would have loved to be a little closer to town, but it was nice to have a space with a kitchen of my own. If you are planning on cooking however, just let Kristine know and she will ensure she has everything you need!"
2266768,28172646,2015-03-19,27657527,Sean,"Kristine's apartment was excellent.  Comfortable bed, massive shower, smart TV and a short walk to the best BBQ in town.  Only wish that I could have stayed longer."
2266768,28326143,2015-03-22,14132708,Natalie,"A very welcoming, cozy flat in a peaceful neighborhood. The flat is a 15 minute walk from 6th street, but if you need to be somewhere fast Uber and Lyft drivers were never more than 5 minutes away. 

Kristine was very responsive and made great recommendations."
2266768,28581436,2015-03-26,8971434,Meredith,"We had a lovely time staying at Kristine's apartment. It was quiet, safe, and very convenient for getting around time. The shower was excellent. "
2266768,28646704,2015-03-28,4301921,Brenda,"Kristine was a perfect host! We never saw her, but we knew she was available if needed. The flat was exactly as described, comfortable and cozy. The decor and color scheme were serene and soothing, no detail was overlooked in making the space welcoming. We did not take advantage of the kitchen or laundry facilities, but they are literally three steps across a breezeway. The neighborhood is a great location, walking distance or a short cab ride to 6th street and Rainey. I highly recommend, and hope to return in the future."
2266768,28724888,2015-03-29,17598815,Katherine,"The modern granny flat was everything it was advertised as being: comfortable, stylish, and clean. It was in a great location, making it easy to get around whether by walking or when using uber. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you for providing such a great space Kristine!"
2266768,28917732,2015-03-31,504685,Liz,"Kristine made it so easy to check in and out but the real treat about this stay was the space - so charming! I will be coming back to Austin for business a few times in the next year and plan to stay here whenever it's available. So clean and comfortable, too and the location is fantastic!"
2266768,29174564,2015-04-05,15314429,Salar,"1) Location is perfect. Close enough where we could walk to some really good food trucks, but far enough where we felt like we were in our own little part of town. Most Uber rides we took were around 5 bucks. Lovely.

2) The pictures are accurate -- it's very, very well designed space. Oh, and the shower is incredible, I could spent hours in that thing.

3) Didn't get to meet Kristine, but she was very responsive via text messaging. Highly recommend."
2266768,29514094,2015-04-08,4077068,Jessica,"My husband and I had a great stay at Kristine's flat. It is exactly as pictured, very clean and spacious. I especially liked the huge shower and having access to a washer/dryer. We would definitely stay here again. "
2266768,29639692,2015-04-10,2977608,Agathe,"Charming place in a quiet and peaceful neighborood. Highly recommended.

Endroit tout à fait charmant dans un quartier résidentiel très calme. Très sympa. "
2266768,29729261,2015-04-12,7236482,J.R.,This space was absolutely beautiful. The shower may have been the highlight of the entire trip to Austin. Kristine and her family allowed it to feel like you were in your own apartment with the incredible amount of privacy.
2266768,30153613,2015-04-18,14442767,Drew,"We loved our time at Kristine's! Her space was very comfortable, and is within easy walking distance to downtown and other fun spots in East Austin. The flat is large, light, airy, and peaceful; we can't wait to come back and stay again!"
2266768,30280151,2015-04-20,1542898,Rachel,"This was the perfect place to stay. We live in Austin but utilized this space during our wedding weekend, since lots of friends and family were staying at our own house + we needed a good spot for the bridal party to get ready in. On the first night, we had friends come over after rehearsal dinner and it was so fun to host them in this cozy guest cottage - and then to say bye so my now-husband and I could enjoy a peaceful evening. It's in a great location that was easy for everyone to get to. On wedding day our hair and makeup people set up shop and it was a beautiful and relaxing location for our getting ready. The little girl staying in the main house entertained my niece Scout - it was adorable to watch them play. The host's mother was actually on-premise during our stay and she was fantastic, very warm and accommodating. After our wedding it was a great place to decompress before we set off for our honeymoon the next morning. I am so thankful to Kristine for the beautiful ambiance she has created in this Airbnb. It kept us sane and was our serene little headquarters amidst a lot of craziness. THANK YOU!"
2266768,31646384,2015-05-08,4770622,Felix,We both had an excellent stay. Very nice place. 
2266768,31890371,2015-05-11,29243763,Thomas,Had a great time at the Granny Flat! Kristine was the bomb! She was reachable at a moments notice and even allowed us to drop our bags off to explore the area since we arrived earlier than check in. The flat itself was very clean and well kept! Perfect spot to hang out and relax after a day out on the town.
2266768,32043292,2015-05-12,16021572,Markham,"An unexpected flight delay led my girlfriend and I to Kristine's apartment for a night, and we only wish we'd found it earlier. The location is great, and the apartment was very clean, beautiful, minimally-designed, comfortable, and had an amazing shower. We were there for such a short period of time, we didn't get a chance to meet Kristine but the communication was just fine. We would definitely return. Thanks!"
2266768,32243343,2015-05-16,25405148,Molly,"This modern granny flat was the perfect place for my trip. The location was great, the place was clean and most of all it felt homey.  Since it was my first trip to Austin, there were a lot of sights I wanted to see and this location was great to allow me to do everything and not have to travel too far. I would definitely stay here again!"
2266768,32716807,2015-05-20,1721797,Jennifer,"Kristine's Granny Flat was the perfect Austin getaway! I was only in town for one night to attend a concert and Kristine was wonderfully accommodating. She was extremely flexible with check in/out times, and very polite when we met briefly. The neighborhood is quiet, tranquil and very easy to get to via car or public transit. The apt itself is magic! It looks exactly as pictured (yes the shower is that amazing) and the space felt very comfortable and homey. I cannot recommend this space highly enough. I would not hesitate to book this spot again if my travels place me back in Austin. "
2266768,32889548,2015-05-23,10428873,Connie,"Really cute, spacious place...the artwork is so cool and interesting. The bed and shower are huge. Even toiletries are provided. I was only there for one night but it would've been nice to stay longer. "
2266768,33111450,2015-05-25,31098189,Brett,Everything was as pictured and described. Had a great stay for a great price. I will be sure to check this listing for availability when I come back to Austin. 
2266768,33536632,2015-05-29,5958032,Stewart,"Kristine was very attentive and the place was beautiful. Probably the best shower I've ever seen in an AirBnB and amazingly comfortable bed. Was a good base for seeing Austin with some nice areas nearby within walking distance (possibly not at night), but otherwise an easy Uber/slightly longer walk into other areas of Austin. Thanks for a great time!"
2266768,33811920,2015-06-01,9715521,Imogen,"Very stylish and modern flat, really comfy bed and very nice shower. Was so easy with communication with Kristine to organize everything. Fairly good location still had to get mostly ubers everywhere as too hot to walk 30 minutes into town but this was fine as uber is cheap and easy! Had a great stay"
2266768,34302327,2015-06-07,31623961,Erica,"We had such a pleasant stay at this cute little granny flat! A quiet, clean environment but just a short drive to SoCo, Zilker Park, etc. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a laid back getaway!"
2266768,35375461,2015-06-18,15048662,Mark,"Kristine's Granny Flat is perfect. Great size, location and amenities. Very close to downtown and the convention center. I will definitely make it my Austin home when I am again back in Austin. "
2266768,35529395,2015-06-19,16520596,Jackie,Very cute AirBnB in a really central location. The bathroom/shower is even better looking in real life. The kitchen/washer/dryer area is not connected to the bedroom. It's right outside the bed/bath door on the other side of a little breezeway. Just FYI. We had a really easy time getting to cool restaurants/bars/coffee on the Eastside in under 5 minutes. The host was nice and accommodating.
2266768,36158216,2015-06-25,342854,Nicole,Loved staying here! We were really sad to leave.
2266768,36511100,2015-06-29,24730988,Paige,"We LOVED our stay at the Modern Granny Flat. The space was so clean, eclectically decorated and in a great location. We could get to downtown so quick but were set away enough to relax (especially from the heat). Every review had mentioned the shower and I understand why...WOW! What I didn't realized is how big it is and it's fun not needing a wall/door or shower curtain. The bed was very comfortable, we have no complaints. We will definitely be coming back to ATX and staying here again!"
2266768,36847384,2015-07-01,3475444,Kerry,"While I wasn't able to stay with her, Kristine was incredibly responsive and kind! "
2266768,37299963,2015-07-06,350715,Alayne,"Great neighborhood. Super easy check-in, and very nice place!"
2266768,37904536,2015-07-11,9798138,Andrew,"Easy access to a great Eastside location, right between the great restaurants on Manor to the north and all of the East side to the south. Huge comfy kingsize bed and the biggest shower you'll ever use ;) No issues whatsoever, will stay here again if there's an opening on my net business trip."
2266768,37976184,2015-07-12,24732759,Katrina,"The cute flat was just as described and surprisingly spacious. As the rest of the reviewers have already stated, the shower is AMAZING! The neighborhood is quiet and well lit, the flat itself was clean and comfortable, and the a/c was ice cold (very important in the middle of Texas summer). The location was perfect - close to downtown, Rainey Street, etc. "
2266768,38614409,2015-07-17,34692854,Nick,"The place is amazing, the neighborhood is safe and is close to a lot of great food. The pictures don't quite do it justice and the pictures for the place are awesome. When booking we told Kristine that we'd be traveling with our six month old, when we arrived a pack and play had been set up and ready to go which was a tremendously welcome sight after driving for fourteen hours. I've probably said how much I miss this place a dozen times since leaving. Would book again in a second!"
2266768,39347139,2015-07-22,13362436,Noelle,"We only spent one night in this beautiful flat. It is as lovely and well decorated as the pictures suggest. Kristine was kind enough to let us check in early. The place had great conditioning, a huge comfortable king sized bed and was a great retreat from the hot Austin sun. Cute restaurants and stores were a short drive away. "
2266768,39863939,2015-07-26,12553895,Cristobal,"This place is very well located and clean!  Very happy!  Will book again!

The owner was very accommodating with check-in/check-out times and very quick to respond!

If you're looking for spending some time in Austin, you should consider this place."
2266768,40253952,2015-07-29,3916152,Melany,"This flat is clearly recently constructed but was a little lacking in my opinion. The first major issue we had is the location. Given the Austin heat in the summer, this spot is not well situated to walk anywhere. If you do not have a car, I don't recommend staying here as it is a very far walk to get to the major tourist spots and bars/restaurants of Austin. Also, for the price we were disappointed with some of the details. For example, the kitchen is separate, not part of the unit, so you have to walk outside to access. Also 2 of the 7 windows had folded paper window coverings that can't be opened (because they're paper) and 3 of the windows have no window coverings at all. The window situation makes it difficult to sleep in past 7am as the room starts getting light at sunrise."
2266768,41666763,2015-08-08,38522415,Zach,Very good place. Just as advertised and very clean. We would definitely stay here again. Kristine was available if we needed her but we had so much privacy the whole time. She even gave us Austin food recommendations before we got there. Highly recommended. This place was awesome!
2266768,41910687,2015-08-09,21366441,Josh,It was great!
2266768,42080727,2015-08-10,40608835,Dan,"Just as advertised...very comfortable bed, amazing shower, and great A/C (and yes we were there during the 100+ degree temps). Only there for one night so didn't take advantage of kitchen, it's right across breezeway not a big deal as I read in a few reviews. Would definitely stay again. Great location for concert at Frank Erwin Center. Uber was less than $5.00 from 6th street. "
2266768,42954501,2015-08-16,23005846,Amanda,Beautiful artistically quirky studio with amazing shower!! The cozy bed was positioned perfectly under the A/C unit and fan for those especially hot Austin nights. 
2266768,44053233,2015-08-23,30220461,Vered,"So great! Kristine's chic little studio is only a 15 minute walk from 6th street, a great area for taco trucks, art studios, and bars. "
2266768,45034554,2015-08-30,42230606,Jordan,"The Modern Granny Flat is truly an Austin gem! We arrived in the late afternoon and got to meet Kristine's husband and darling daughter as they were on their way out. As soon as we walked in the door, we were truly blown away by how incredible the space was. You can really tell that that there was a lot of thought that went into designing the space and the layout. The flat is exactly as pictured and the shower is truly spectacular! I understand why everyone raves about it. The king bed was comfortable and nicely positioned under the AC unit. The kitchen and laundry room are separate but are connected by a covered breezeway which was very nice. We were able to cook a spaghetti dinner with garlic bread the night we got there and were able to keep our breakfast food in the clean fridge. The next morning we found that the trash from cooking the night before had already been taken out by the time we went in there for breakfast around 9:00am. The flat is in a nice quiet neighborhood that we felt very safe in. Kristine was very easy and quick with communication. She is truly a Super Host. Our expectations were blown away and we can't imagine staying anywhere else in Austin! The Modern Granny flat is one of a kind! "
2266768,46138125,2015-09-08,15263856,David,"The modern granny flat was great. It is clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, and in between a few more active areas, so you should be prepared to walk a bit (or ride bikes, take Ubers, etc.) Overall, it was a great value and a really pleasant stay. "
2266768,46746844,2015-09-13,35080270,Anne,"We enjoyed our stay at the  charming "" granny flat"". Our hosts were at once helpful and respectful of our privacy. We regretted we could not stay longer"
2266768,47653727,2015-09-21,35337991,Danielle,Kristine's granny flat is nestled in a quiet neighborhood with quick access to downtown Austin and Lady Bird Lake.  The flat is inviting with fresh sheets and towels as well as clear instructions for wifi and air conditioning. My guest and I truly enjoyed the stay on Angelina st! 
2266768,48051281,2015-09-22,112702,Thomas,"Great value, the photos are accurate but the selling point I think is the shower. It's basically a room you can walk around in with a chair. We only met the owners in passing but they were friendly and gave us our space. 

Thanks Kristine for a great stay!

"
2266768,48498004,2015-09-27,1933158,Lisa,The apartment was lovely and spacious in a charming neighborhood. The location was really convenient to all the restaurants and bars close by. We had a lovely stay and although we didn't meet our host the cat was very friendly and it was easy to find our way in to the flat.
2266768,50062646,2015-10-09,8143518,Jac,"We arrived in Austin after a long drive and a long final day.  No registration hassle, no waiting and no explanations of why what was promised was not available.  We were able to settle in right away to a lovely flat that fit the description.

We were indeed within walking distance of 6th Street, the State Capitol and about 10 minutes from Franklin's BBQ.  Well you can tell what filled our days and the flat was the perfect base camp.  Our evening reception included some cat time and conversations outdoors on the patio.  The apartment was a great home away from home."
2266768,50608168,2015-10-12,14133223,Allen & Sandi,"What an awesome place to stay!! Very well decorated with spa like accents. Perfect location off 12th street highway exit, so close to 6th street for restaurants, bars, shopping. Not to mention Franklin's BBQ is just few blocks away. Kristine was very helpful and responsive to questions. Will definitely stay again when back in Austin. My wife loved the whole experience. Thank you "
2266768,51091402,2015-10-17,43101288,Crystal,This place was fantastic. Comfortable bed and an amazing shower. Very convenient to both downtown Austin and UT which was exactly what we needed. Kristine was friendly and flexible with my late evening arrival.
2266768,51406281,2015-10-19,31038767,Jennylyn,"Very lovely home! Clean and LOVED the shower. Location is walking distance to Franklin Barbecue (a must try!) and a close distance to downtown. Kristine was very nice. We noticed there wasn't an iron, but I texted her and she promptly arrived with an iron and ironing board. I would definitely recommend this place! 

We also loved the cat! "
2266768,51587680,2015-10-21,1788840,Amelia,"Kristine was extremely easy to contact and offered recommendations for the area (I had a great dinner based on her suggestions). Her instructions were clear and accurate, it was very easy to get into the space. The space was exactly as pictured, very comfortable, quiet and I would definitely stay there again. She has great decor and the art would make any creative a happy camper. I may have bathroom envy for the rest of my life."
2266768,52036587,2015-10-26,8274,David,What a great place very clean and tidy with the biggest shower ever it is in a great location only a short  taxi ride to downtown or you could walk if your keen . Great weekend in Austin and will stay again if in town again ( also loved the cats )
1735938,20920841,2014-10-07,19404,Alex,"The perfect ACL oasis - Bazzzzzzzzilion stars!! Patryce was the perfect host! She even mailed back my friend's pillow when he left it during our stay - that's what I call amazing service.  The comfort and service that we encountered makes this place my go to Austin home away from home.

The home is ubercute and comfy.  The well stocked bathroom with everything you need (towels, shampoo, soap, even toothbrushes and everything else you may have forgot) is a great touch.  The two comfy bedrooms gave us the room we needed and the central a/c and fans in both bedrooms, made sure the temp was a perfect 72 degrees.  The kitchen has great 50's detailing and has everything we needed for breakfast and cooking (if we wanted to).  I recommend this place to all.
"
1735938,21281345,2014-10-14,5627131,Louella,"Patryce met us in front of the house right when we arrived from the airport. She gave us a tour, wrote down a lovely note for house instructions and local recommendations, and even had guest ready amenities for us (extra blankets, shampoo, etc). Patryce is the best host - super friendly, great communication, extremely accommodating. Now about little Hank House. I was with 2 of my girlfriends and we were doing a little girls' retreat/ reunion along with ACL. We could not have stayed in a better place. We loved the house. We rented out the whole place, so we had the 2 bedrooms to ourselves. Having the kitchen, living room, and the backyard patio was amazing. We stocked up the kitchen with snacks, lots of wine, and drank outside most nights. It was perfect for us. FYI - There's no television and internet is spotty, but this wasn't important for us. "
1735938,21928167,2014-10-26,156121,Sarina,Extremely friendly host. The place is the cleanest I have been in all of my airbnb experience and I traveled often using airbnb. Cute little place and close to the best taco truck in Austin. 
1735938,22306567,2014-11-03,20996571,Mark,"Patryce was so warm and inviting, as was her ""old school-cool"" '52 home. It was clean, comfortable, and ideally located in SoCo. A buddy and I came out for the F1 race at COTA. It was a short 20-minute drive. It's a REALLY short hop to nightlife and restaurants. Wi-Fi was great and we appreciated the absence of TV. The neighborhood was quiet and the beds were comfortable. I'd certainly recommend a stay especially considering the affordable rate, easy policies, and lack of exorbitant security deposit. I just emplore anyone considering a stay here to respect the home as we tried to do so Patryce continues to make her door open for everyone to enjoy."
1735938,26581142,2015-02-15,17384159,Lynn,Patryce was very accommodating. I booked the same day and the place was ready for us to arrive. We had a pleasant stay. 
1735938,26656443,2015-02-16,3382647,M. Robert,Patryce was a great host. She met us the day we arrived and even let us come a little early to use the refrigerator. She was very friendly and accommodating. 
1735938,28071783,2015-03-17,2212045,Emily,"Patryce's home was wonderful- clean, well decorated, and conveniently located. She was so accomodating and kind. I booked the home for my in-laws who were in town for our wedding. Patryce gave me a fair price (even though it was opening weekend of SXSW!) and was available while also allowing the parents their privacy. This was their first experience with Airbnb and they were a bit weary to begin, but they were happy in the home and had a lovely weekend.  Thank you, Patryce, for being a fantastic host and making our family feel welcome and comfortable!"
1735938,28496366,2015-03-24,10392169,Philip,"I can't seem to find the trillion star button?!  If you're looking for a chill getaway in Austin and want to feel comfortable/cozy, look no further.  This 1952 South Austin home is it!  Patryce (host) is truly an affable human that really made us feel at home.  The house was quaint, equipped with all the necessities and described perfectly.  Patryce didn't freak out from the volume of guests and even bought us breakfast tacos!  Great for BBQs, family vacays, or just a place to crash in the rain.  "
1735938,29858848,2015-04-13,11183308,Caroline,"Patryce's cozy home was so fabulous! We had a wonderful stay in Austin. Patryce was unbelievably kind and accommodating. The house itself is beautiful, clean ( spotless), comfortable and in a great location. It felt like a little zen sanctuary!!! She even put beautiful books and flowers for us to enjoy.
I highly highly recommend Patryce's bungalow of coziness and relaxation!!"
1735938,30849377,2015-04-27,22376228,Wyatt,"Patryce was a very kind, gracious host and welcomed us at her home when we arrived. The house was in a great location for all of our activities and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We would definitely stay again."
1735938,31406749,2015-05-04,24370687,Mike,"Everything was as good or better than described. I would say this is the loveliest house in a lovely neighborhood. It is a very convenient location just outside of the seventh level of Austin traffic hell. All of our interaction with Patryce before, during and after our stay has been prompt and pleasant. Thank you very much."
1735938,32435700,2015-05-17,2875138,Hannes,"Very lovely little House. We found everything we needed. Very very clean. Friendly neighbourhood. 8$ uber ride to clubs, bars and restaurants."
1735938,32987544,2015-05-24,28780342,Gracita,Patryce was a sweet and great host.  She was very easy to talk to so it made arranging our stay effortless. Her house was very clean and is just as pictured in her photos. Four of us stayed at her house and we felt it was plenty of space. My friends and I were not  disappointed with our stay.
1735938,33179279,2015-05-25,29228623,Leslie,"Cute house perfect for our group of 4! A relaxing location near some great places. Highly recommended, would definitely love to return on another trip."
1735938,36628817,2015-06-29,1763565,Nata,"Patryce was very welcoming and accommodating!  The house is adorable , she left us cupcakes and coffee upon arrival !  She even offered her cruiser bike and pumped te tires!  10 min drive to south congress (car or bike is helpful if you want to leave the residential neighborhood).

pAtryce stays in a studio separate from the apartment behind the driveway, and will text (available if help needed).  Wifi and a piano too.

Thank you!"
1735938,37407590,2015-07-06,36806869,Staley,I had a great time at the little hank house! Perfect place to rest our head while enjoying all that Austin can offer. 
1735938,46254028,2015-09-08,25267080,Yilin,"Good owner, cute house. Very clean, My friends and I have a good memory here. "
1735938,52595853,2015-10-31,41724751,Allison,"Patryce was such a kind and positive host! We stayed for 7 weeks, and she made her home feel like it was our own. Everything was incredibly clean, and the neighborhood is 5 minutes from downtown! 
Thank you Patryce for being what a host should be. "
1458379,6380185,2013-08-10,5055687,Amy,"the hayloft is fantastic. i was traveling cross-country with 3 friends and spending a night at mary's place was totally perfect for our needs. it's adorable, super clean, and well maintained. we were all very comfortable there. i'd definitely stay there again."
1458379,7566502,2013-09-24,8800791,Andi,"Fantastic house!  Fantastic location!  Fantastic hostess!
An Austin must!
Loved the stay THANK YOU!"
1458379,8535944,2013-11-04,237927,Benjamin,"Mary was a perfect host, attentive and available and the Zilker Hayloft could not have been better. Plenty of light and space and close to downtown and the South Austin strip while still being quiet and secluded.  Highest possible recommendation. Thanks Mary!"
1458379,10803121,2014-03-08,2401851,Cary,Awesome place! A haven in south Austin! Would definitely stay again for longer!!
1458379,11676678,2014-04-11,2021605,Brian,The Hayloft is a really great place to stay with an excellent Host. I can't recommend it enough. 
1458379,11928672,2014-04-19,7506931,Dana,"Great place, very conveniently located, clean and spacious. "
1458379,13836065,2014-06-05,14633084,Craig,The Zilker hayloft was in a beautiful suburb in a beautiful city. Walking distance to Zilker park where you can cool off in the Barton springs swimming hole. Everything in the house was so well organized including the visitor folder which had a lot of helpful information and local takeaway menus. 
1458379,14480442,2014-06-20,16002807,Carla,"What a lovely time we had staying at the hayloft! Beautiful, private, modern and perfectly located - I definitely have found my favorite place to reside when I come to Austin!! "
1458379,15178795,2014-07-04,15547480,Madeline,"Amazing place to stay. Beautiful loft, quick drive to major locations. Would recommend to anyone! Perfect for couples or families. Thanks for having us!! "
1458379,15942399,2014-07-18,2549614,Lauren,"Our experience at the Zilker Hayloft was great! Our host was timely in communication (though we never actually met), and the listing was just as advertised on Airbnb. It was very clean and perfect for a homebase while my husband and I helped my best friend apartment hunt in Austin.  The bathroom doors are sliding wood doors that cover the opening to the bathroom but don't seal completely shut the way a typical door does. It wasn't really a problem, but just FYI. Also, there is only one mirror in the whole place. Heads up to parties traveling with more than one person who uses a mirror to fix their hair or makeup in the mornings.  The loft had all the utensils we needed to cook dinner and breakfast, and we enjoyed some of the board games there as well. The windows here are great, but still lots of privacy. It felt like being in a tree house! The neighborhood felt safe and it was close to lots of local attractions. Overall, another lovely experience with Airbnb. "
1458379,16317704,2014-07-25,2109383,Bj,"This is my third time staying at one of Mary's homes. They're always extremely clean and cozy. Mary is a great host. She's always been very responsive and has great recommendations for the area. The location is perfect - South Austin - in walking distance to a bunch of killer restaurants, bars, etc."
1458379,16723429,2014-08-01,3852463,Brandon,Mary's place is clean and well appointed and is in a good location for both N and S Austin and I-35 access. 
1458379,17704217,2014-08-16,18929468,Vanessa,"The Zilker Hayloft is very inviting and the location is wonderful. There are many excellent restaurants nearby and it is conveniently located. 

The decor and use of space is amazing and it's very comfortable. There are lots of windows which allow for natural lighting. The view of the bamboo trees surrounding the loft are amazing! The loft is very welcoming and clean. 

We had a wonderful stay and would strongly recommend this loft as your choice to stay. "
1458379,19575291,2014-09-14,5214322,Jeffrey,The Hayloft is located in a quiet neighborhood and is very clean and well-appointed.  The pictures were an exact depiction of what I found when I arrived.  Mary is a great host and I look forward to staying there again.
1458379,19798527,2014-09-18,9401368,Lynn,"We stayed 3 nights at the Zilker Hayloft, a wonderful 2-bedroom home just a few miles from downtown Austin. The pictures are very representative of the home; beautiful kitchen, 2 bedrooms with king bed in one and queen in the other, large dining room, and a living room. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We did not use the outdoor space but there is a 2nd-story deck along with a tranquil backyard.  The Zilker area has many tasty restaurants within walking distance, and the Barton Hills Greenbelt is nearby ~ wonderful for a hike or bike ride.  Mary was a great host.  We look forward to future visits!"
1458379,20591865,2014-10-01,16713684,Leslie,Mary was awesome and provides all the information we needed for the area. The area was perfect for all exercising walking site seeing and downtown. 
1458379,22116245,2014-10-30,2109383,Bj,"Easy in and out. Perfectly clean and comfortable. I will continue to stay at Mary's residences when possible. I travel to Austin regularly, so it is nice to have such a dependable host and homey place to stay!"
1458379,27763847,2015-03-11,26955706,Catherine,The Zilkner loft was perfect!!!! Cozy adorable and perfectly  located to let us explore Austin. The off street parking was very convenient. Thank you so much! 
1458379,31674250,2015-05-08,11668439,Steve,"Really enjoyed the place. Spacious, convenient, private. Great neighborhood and Mary was very cordial and responsive. Highly recommend."
1458379,33537560,2015-05-29,33567407,Gigi,"Clean and comfy ""Hayloft"" in a great location. Two beds, plus a futon in the living room. Everything worked, from the Wifi to the tv/cable. Mary had books, toys, and dvd's to keep us entertained during rainy downtime. And we were a 5-10 minute drive from attractions like greenways, UT Austin, record shops, book stores, Whole Foods, and lots of great restaurants and food trucks. Zilker is a great neighborhood to explore--plenty of parks nearby to run to and through. "
1458379,35351207,2015-06-17,23040661,Aaron,The neighborhood was old but quaint. The place was clean and inviting with options to stay in if weather was bad. 
1458379,35433166,2015-06-18,1752279,Clee,"The house was just as promised! The location was amazing, the house was tucked in so there was quiet and privacy AND close to everything! It was perfect for our needs! It was clean and equipped with games that we enjoyed! I would recommend it to anyone and def will stay again when I go to Austin!"
1458379,36117689,2015-06-25,34541312,Theresa,"This was my first AirBnB stay and a great experience.  I think this place was way cuter than the pictures made it out to be.  There is a lovely porch off one bedroom and the bathroom was small but modern.  In the several nights we stayed there, we were able to spread out and find our own working spaces in way that we would not have been able to in a traditional hotel.  We were in a residential neighborhood in a  fun part of Austin. There several restaurants and food trucks within walking distance. When we were out at night, neighbors were friendly and said hello to us.  Mary was really responsive.   At one point, we wanted to know about street parking and she got back to us right away about neighborhood parking policies and we never had a problem. 

We went several places in Austin and the location was great for us as home base.  It was easy to get places and had good access to major streets. "
1458379,36814615,2015-07-01,7937138,Kim,"Wonderful property!  It is lovely, quiet and comfortable.  We would definitely stay again.
Thanks!
"
1458379,39803006,2015-07-26,7500938,Nicolette,"A few friends joined me at Hayloft for a girls weekend. The home is charming, conveniently located and stocked with great amenities. The only challenge was that the cable and wifi weren't working and I couldn't find the router to reset it. Otherwise, a delightful stay. "
1458379,40618266,2015-08-01,36898939,Katie,"The loft was lovely and the location was fantastic. Mary was not in town, but absolutely made herself available to us. We would happily stay here again."
1458379,47011553,2015-09-14,6006767,Lucas,"Zilker Loft was an amazing place to stay in Austin. There were four of us staying at this place and there was ample room for four more people. Mary was super easy to deal with and we will definitely be staying at Zilker Lofts again. 

It was a fantastic location (a short walk to Shake Shack) in a really nice area, with plenty of other food and drink options!! We would thoroughly recommend it to anyone staying with a larger group in Austin!!"
1458379,48233567,2015-09-24,6167172,Nick,Nice clean quite place!  Only issues I had where no hot water and broken hair dyer which I'm sure both will be addressed prior to next guest.  Would definately stay here again.
1458379,51574149,2015-10-21,36860292,Racheal,This place is great! Couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay in Austin!
4145709,28020641,2015-03-16,9824711,Erica,Beata and Davvi are really great hosts! I recommend their guest room to anyone visiting the Austin area. Beata and Davvi are as cool and interesting as they are warm and welcoming. I was navigating SXSW for the first time and they were really helpful in giving me ideas and directions. Plus they make delicious orange juice!
4145709,28096487,2015-03-17,22485436,Oliver,"Wonderful people + great space (very clean, spacious room, comfortable bed).  As an added bonus, Beata and Davvi had breakfast prepared in the morning!  It was super easy to coordinate w them and everything went as planned."
4145709,28133903,2015-03-18,1291639,Diane,"Beata and Davvi's apartment is beautiful and lovely. The room I stayed in was very clean and bright and peaceful - perfect to get rest and sleep after a week of craziness from SXSW. Most importantly for me, it had great energy and warmth that could only come from a loving family. I was very lucky to meet their 2 year old girl Leila who told me all about her experience at the zoo that day. I'd definitely recommend their room to anyone who wants a serene stay in Austin."
8289304,48470383,2015-09-26,12302361,Brian,"Patricia was one of the nicest hosts I've had. She responded quickly, made arrangements for me to get access to the unit with a late arrival, and even offered to pick up some things at the store for me -- so nice! "
8289304,48774411,2015-09-28,42325452,Erin,"Staying at this little studio was awesome! Everything was so clean and homey. We enjoyed how close it was to a quaint coffee shop, an HEB, and several places to eat. Also just a short drive to South Congress, downtown, and Lamar! Patricia was an excellent host. She communicated so well, and was very friendly when she met us at the location to give us the key! It was a very easy-going experience and SOOO much better than staying at a hotel. "
8289304,49918847,2015-10-07,33316098,Katheryn,"Liked this cute apartment. It was very clean, comfortable and we felt at home. Patricia was a very great host. She left us everything we needed and went out of her way to let us check out a little later. Super nice person and great place to stay. I would highly recommend her to everyone. "
8289304,50657449,2015-10-13,4393272,Christopher,Our stay for ACL was great.  The location was great to get downtown if you were driving.  The What-a-Burger next to the apartment complex was heaven after a long night out.  We would stay here again if we are ever in Austin again.  Patricia was a great host leaving some cold ones in the fridge along with some monsters and waters.  We couldn't have asked for anything else.  
8289304,51453209,2015-10-20,160491,Diana,"Patricia was super responsive the whole time, and the apartment was a great place to read and sleep during my weekend trip. "
8289304,51748228,2015-10-24,25199477,Erin,Mark and I had an awesome experience at Patricia's cute studio apartment! She was so sweet and left waters in the fridge for us! She gave us awesome recommendations! We would definitely stay again! 
8289304,52408157,2015-10-29,12029495,Carrie,"The place was really cute and so clean! Very well decorated, and Patricia even provided us with coffee, breakfast bars, and beer. Very welcoming! We didn't use the pool during our stay, but it is right around the corner from the unit. The apartment is close to Buzzmill and other south Austin/Riverside attractions/transportation. Good location. The only problem was when we arrived we couldn't get a hold of her for 45 minutes while sitting in the parking lot in the rain. Other than that, great stay!"
8289304,52875618,2015-11-02,44879427,Emmuh,"Patricia was very open and welcoming when my friend and I visited Austin. Her apartment is cozy and decorated adorably and was very clean and comfortable for our stay. While her location is not downtown, she is a quick Uber (about $7) to almost anything you'd want to do in Austin. We had a great experience at her place and would recommend it to anyone interested in seeing the town! "
5411018,28269231,2015-03-21,1504246,Adam,"Excellent location and much more room than expected. My roommate and I had a blast at sxsw, and Jon's hospitality was refreshing. Very accommodating. Highly recommended. "
1021657,12940601,2014-05-14,4111975,Michelle,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1021657,30204195,2015-04-19,12825425,Noémie,"I had a great stay at Alicia's house. She wasn't here while I stayed, but everything was set up when I got there. The neighborhood is safe but a little bit empty for someone without a car...going to the grocery was an expedition in itself ! :) for everything else, like going downtown, there are various bus stops really close to the house. Very convenient.

The house could certainly use a deep cleaning but I was only there for a short period so it didn't bother me that much.

Otherwise, everything was fine, the roommates were VERY quiet and the house is full of Alicia's creations, which gives a good feeling to the place."
1021657,39498109,2015-07-24,33830894,Mohsin,Great place. Extremely convenient to everything. The artwork alone makes this place worth staying at. Alicia is a super chill host and I was super lucky to have found her place on such short notice. 
1021657,48981634,2015-09-30,29494958,Katja,"It's a good place to stay. Nice neighborhood, pleasant people, pretty house. Thank you!"
8605719,50717298,2015-10-13,45736941,Benjamin,The host was very nice and the guest room was very clean! Would definitely reserve again.
8133741,52124559,2015-10-26,6306133,Mike,"I was able to easily gain access to the apartment, and it was a short Uber ride from downtown. It worked out as a great crash pad for the weekend."
4358441,22341651,2014-11-03,23050919,Matt,"Fantastic setup in a great Neighborhood.  The room is actually a modern addition on an updated mid-century home. Clearly designed by architects and built by craftsmen the usable private space was the perfect base for my weekend in Austin. Bedroom was nice sized, clean and comfortable. Private bath on this little apartment had great design details including a heated towel rack. The main modest size living room had a very comfortable murphy bed. Large flat tv on the wall with movies, wicked fast Wi-Fi(faster than my house or work) with a large modern couch to chill on. There is also a wine type fridge that they put an assortment of beverages in. It has kitchenette type area nicely laid out in the hall to poor drinks or make a sandwich. Access was down the side of the house with your own gate/ entrance that works well. The view into the back yard was great or you can close the blinds and just do your own thing. House was in a great neighborhood and a $10 ride to downtown. Owners were gracious and kind to me and my daughter. They were not intrusive but just a text away if I needed something. This worked well for us."
4358441,22549799,2014-11-09,3576076,Aaron,"Ira was a great host. The rooms were very, very nice. Everything was clean and well kept. We felt very welcome. Ira even left us a small loaf of gluten free banana bread one night. I would definitely stay here again."
4358441,28116660,2015-03-18,4314560,Laurens,"What can i say? It was just perfect. Both beds are very comfortable, plenty of food and drinks in the fridge. Everything is brand new, and detailed. A huge tv screen, apple tv, subwoofer, PS2, a whealth of Austin information, bicycles, a quiet neighbourhood and a great host!"
4358441,30268714,2015-04-19,31248910,Mike,Ira and Terri were great hosts with a beautiful house. We really enjoyed staying here and highly recommend these very nice people. Thanks for having us. 
4358441,30718931,2015-04-26,5298158,John,Ira and Terri were terrific hosts and their home was immaculate. A cool modern design with beautiful landscaping. Super comfortable. Very private and a perfect location near Zilker Park and nearby trail access. They were most welcoming and put us right at ease. Left us drinks in the fridge and homemade baked goods. Highly recommend! 
4358441,33291484,2015-05-26,26491015,Doris,"Lovely, spacious new studio. Apple TV, drinks and snacks all nice touches. Ira and Terri were very welcoming and accommodating throughout my stay."
4358441,34356501,2015-06-07,34406582,Brett,"Fantastic stay, great location and the rooms were amazing.  Lots of attention to detail which we appreciated.  We highly recommend this listing. "
4358441,42998735,2015-08-16,41332096,Damiano,"La descrizione dell'annuncio era precisa e rispecchiava la realtà. Il quartiere è estremamente tranquillo e comodo per raggiungere velocemente il centro di Austin.
Ira e Terri sono stati estremamente ospitali e disponibili per qualsiasi necessità. Sono cordiali e ci hanno messo a disposizione un frigo bar con ogni cosa potesse servirci durante il soggiorno!
La casa era molto pulita e con ogni necessità a disposizione (asciugamani per tutti, sapone e molto altro)...che dire...perfetto!

La zona della casa che ci ha accolto era bella e funzionale.

Ottima qualità/prezzo."
4358441,44013296,2015-08-23,40706481,Chetna,"Ira and Terri were generous and thoughtful hosts. They created a binder of ideas of things to do in town. Terri even pulled out some toys for our daughter. They were very sweet and had us over for snacks one night. The studio was perfect for our family of three, it had just the right amount of space. It's very well kept, has all the amenities you could need and is a very stylish space. We loved how close we were to Zilker Park and Barton Springs- everything was walking distance, including some great restaurants. We highly recommend them and making a stop in their cozy home. "
4358441,45004246,2015-08-30,42037804,Eddie,"AWESOME LOCATION AND HOSTS!
Terri and Ira made our stay wonderful with the attention they pay to every detail. From the snacks, drinks, toiletries and various pillow types, this is on par with a luxury hotel. The house is immaculate with the latest technology: large TV, Apple TV, sound system, own thermostat and super fast wifi. 
The location is perfect if you are looking for activities downtown. Barton Springs is a short walk away, it will probably take you longer to drive and find parking than to walk. UBER is the way to go, we had a 2-3 minute wait time and fare to 6th street were $6, less than parking downtown. 
We can't wait to come back and stay here again!
"
4358441,47080313,2015-09-15,34651897,Moira,"Ira and Terri were great hosts, very welcoming and thoughtful. They showed us around the studio when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. They also made themselves available  throughout our stay, in the event we needed anything. The studio was lovely. A beautiful and relaxing space, very clean, and lots of nice amentities (Apple TV with large viewing selection, lots of extra towels, drinks and other goodies, etc). Great neighborhood too -  bucolic, quiet, safe, and close to Barton Springs, lots of good restaurants, and downtown. I would definitely stay with Ira and Terri again. A note for people who are nervous around dogs: the resident dog has a lot of energy and takes time to warm up to strangers. "
4358441,47836626,2015-09-21,43753076,Jocelyn,"I couldn't have asked for a better first time experience using Airbnb and visting Austin, TX. Ira and Terri have an amazing studio well put together with everything you could possibly think of! Super thoughtful and welcoming. Even had a binder with great suggestions and fun Austin activities. Thank you both for having us!"
4358441,48421520,2015-09-26,42735941,Sheila,"My husband and I just took a long weekend trip to Austin to attend a best friend's wedding, and this was perfect for us. First off, Ira and Terri were incredibly gracious hosts who thought of everything including the special touch of a towel warmer in the bathroom. As soon as we arrived, they gave us the tour and the accommodations were just as described. There's a great ramen place (Tatsu-ya) and a Shake Shack within walking distance, and almost everything else is a low uber fare away. 100% recommend this place although we would love to keep it our little secret!"
4358441,49267713,2015-10-02,468829,Zachary,"Terri and Ira are wonderful people offering a rental that is near perfection. The location is fantastic, the property is spotlessly clean, quiet, inviting, comfortable... I can't say enough good things. It even came with snacks!! I have zero complaints. Will be staying again!"
4358441,49586842,2015-10-05,14883457,Felicia,"The location of the property is easy to get to and is in an excellent location for activites near and around downtown. 
The property is very clean , well kept, and has everything you need for a weekend getaway . 100% recommend this place. "
4358441,50427896,2015-10-12,25708015,Jordan,"Everything was beyond expectations. We had four adults and a child staying in Ira and Terri's ""mother-in-law"" quarters. Ira and Terri had an air mattress that we blew up for our kiddo in the bedroom, and the Murphy bed in the living room was great for the other adults, though the couch was also comfortable enough to sleep on. The quarters are beautifully decorated, and open onto a tranquil backyard with a grill, outdoor fireplace, and lots of seating. There was a wine fridge fully stocked with two bottles of wine, some beer, water, yogurt, and a delicious baked oatmeal with berries that Terri had prepared for us. There was also a single-serve coffee maker (though we preferred to take the short walk to Medici for our morning fix). The location was great too - beautiful neighborhood, just a short walk to several great spots (including Barton Springs and Zilker Park). Terri and Ira were out of town for the weekend, so we didn't see much of them, but they greeted us warmly, showed us around, and then checked to see how our stay had been when they returned just before we left."
4358441,51172261,2015-10-18,44887938,Ha,"Ira and Terri were great hosts!  They made us feel very welcome.  I was new to Airbnb and they were so helpful in helping me maneuver through the process.  I really appreciate it! 
The location of the studio was great.  Ira and Terri provided excellent instructions on accessing the property.  The studio was very homey.  We felt like we were just staying at a friend’s house.  It was big enough to accommodate four of us.  The Murphy bed was easy to set up and it was soft as well!  We had plenty of clean white towels, soft down blankets, soft and hard pillows for different sleepers, extra soft toilet paper (no doubt the Charmin brand!!), excellent Starbucks coffee, and many more things available to us, of which we were not able to try (i.e. wine (red and white), sodas, juice, and snacks).  Basically, Ira and Terri though of everything and made sure we had everything. No doubt Ira and Terri helped made our experience in Austin a memorable one.  For that, thank you!  
"
4358441,52037939,2015-10-26,10082451,Lori,"Ira & Terri have a beautiful home, in an older, well established, beautiful neighborhood in Austin.  Our entrance was private, with a key code lock on our door.

Unique & wonderful restaurants are within walking distance (we went to two of them & were very pleased!)  

The room we stayed in has been beautifully renovated and exceptionally well appointed.  Bath towels, bed linens & room appointments 5 star!  Our room included a mini fridge & sink with a wonderful coffee machine."
4358441,52427021,2015-10-29,45921681,Garry,"This was my first Airbnb stay and I must say it will be hard to surpass.  The facility is accurately described, meticulously maintained, beautifully decorated and stocked with everything one could possibly need.  The bedding, sheets, towels, robes, closet space, bed comfort, and AV equipment - all ranked a perfect 10.  The Temperpedic bed is world class and the outside yard space is well landscaped and appointed with great furniture and a fire pit.

The home is only a few years old and the apartment was designed as a in-law apartment and is perfect for an Airbnb.  It is roomy, well lit, quiet and situated in a close-in neighborhood to downtown Austin.  Everything one could need is situated within 1 - 1.5 miles away.

I stayed here as an alternative to the Hyatt Regency (as it was booked) and I have no negative comments at all.  Uber was ideal and only once (due to surge rush hour pricing) was more than a $7 fare to the Hyatt.

Unfortunately, I never met Ira, but Terry is super pleasant and warm.  I highly recommend this property and will reach out to Ira and Terry if ever heading back to Austin."
4358441,53098916,2015-11-04,7728369,Susan,I've only tried air bnb once before and this was such a delightful surprise. Ira and Terry go above and beyond to make their home a great place to stay.  It's beautifully decorated and many nice touches from the stocked refrigerator to the towel warmer in the bathroom. Great proximity to beautiful Zilker Park. 
5251657,29867251,2015-04-13,78741,Alex,"Jessica was a great host!  She was waiting at the property for us and quickly went through the whole house with us.  When she realized we needed a few things, she went out and got them for us, as well as a few welcome gifts.  The house is in an amazing location for walking to anything you could want.  Would definitely recommend."
5251657,30327639,2015-04-20,19438060,Aaron,"Jessica was really nice.  She arrived on time and quickly showed me around and made sure I didn't have any questions.  The place itself was great.  Very clean, plenty of space, everything worked really well, including Sonos sound system and wifi.   Great location that makes walking to almost everything very easy.  Only downside is that Sonos speakers didn't work from the roofdeck.  "
5251657,31061060,2015-05-01,30969579,Iain,"Great place in a great location. Host was lovely and everything was exactly as described. Would 100% stay there again.
"
5251657,32471727,2015-05-18,10957839,Kyle,"Location is incredible. Walking distance to Dirty 6th, West 6th, and Rainey St. strips. More good food/drinks/general entertainment than you can consume in weeks, all within footsteps. Great space for large groups. Make sure to complete a full walkthrough with your point of contact prior to checking in to ensure that all appliances are functional."
5251657,33249910,2015-05-26,30212984,Andrew,Easy to check into the place and was provided some local beer.

Incredible place to stay with great furniture (including on the rooftop patio!), very clean, and great (huge) bedding for the entire group.  The hosts were very accommodating in helping us make dinner reservations, navigate Austin itself, and even provided a laundry list of fun activities for us to do while in town.  The place is just a few minute walk from busy downtown streets with restaurants/bars, with an incredible view of the city from the living room/roof.

Would love to stay here again, was an amazing place and experience for a big group!"
5251657,38980659,2015-07-20,11279332,Katie,"Devlin and his crew made us all feel incredibly welcome. The house was in the perfect location - walking distance to all the bars and restaurants. Before our arrival, he made sure that all of my questions were answered. When I called, his crew answered. When I had questions about the cooking utensils, they were at the house in less than 30-minutes to get us what we needed.

I couldn't have asked for a better weekend, a more perfect house for a bachelorette party and a better crew to make us feel ""at home""."
5251657,39907448,2015-07-27,16415050,Jason,"We had a great time at the townhouse. Clint met us and let us in early as he finished the preparations, gave us plenty of good local recommendations. They even supplied us with some local brews! There was plenty of space for our party of 13 and the layout was just right for our group. "
5251657,45066244,2015-08-31,16835472,Patrick,"Devlin was a great host. The house was in great condition and everything was fantastic, as advertised. In addition, Devlin suggested things to do during our stay. "
5251657,46112591,2015-09-08,6051035,Alexd,"This was a great stay. The host was very helpful, organized, and responsive. The spot was clean, had some beer in the fridge, and exactly what we thought it would be. I would highly reccomend this spot. Thank you for a greaty stay/"
5251657,46865549,2015-09-14,33378223,James,"* Host was very responsive via email / sms and showed up in person to give advice etc. 
* Apartment is in a great location, as advertized. 
* There's a place to park. 
* Apartment was comfortably laid out
"
5251657,47616442,2015-09-21,24903979,Marshall,"Devlin was a great host.  He contacted me prior to arrival and provided great information about the house and surrounding area.  The location of the apartment is very convenient to downtown, local bars, and great food.  The townhouse itself was very cool, a modern design, a solid layout, and great views and outdoor space.  Recommended for anyone looking to book a large group.  "
5251657,49761421,2015-10-06,2874823,Daniel,"We had a wonderful stay here for ACL. The location was spot on right where we wanted to be to catch some low key nightlife after each day. The house fits large groups extremely comfortably and the view from the bedroom and rooftop is gorgeous. 

The hosts made us feel super welcome by leaving us with a plentiful stocking of local brews and great tips as to where we could find good food and bars (although it's Austin, can you really miss that hard?)."
5251657,50433708,2015-10-12,35246082,Crawford,Great house for a group of 12. Extremely accommodating. Rooftop patio is definitely the jewel of the place. Panoramic views of downtown Austin skyline. Prime location. Short walk to 6th street or easy cab ride to anywhere you might need to go. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. 
4128330,20853738,2014-10-06,16048202,Héctor Luis,"I had a really great time at Eric's apartment. His place is clean, comfortable and he and his other roommate are both great guys. Once we get in he gave us two keys so we can exit and enter the house at anytime. You will love to have breakfast and enjoy good music with the great LP collection that Josh owns. The apartment is pretty cool decorated and you will enjoy playing with Peanut, their dog. Bathroom, kitchen, living room, bed, everything they offer is clean and ready to use. 
They provided us with clean towels and nice clean and comfortable sheets. The complex were they live is in a nice neighborhood, with lots of parking space. I strongly recommend that you close the deal if you are considering in staying at their place. 

We had great time with Eric and Josh, we even hangout with Eric once, he took us to an awesome bar nearby the apartment. I hope I can find available space at their place on the next ACL Festival! 

- Hector. "

I had a nice room upstairs and an office as well. Her roommate was welcoming and showed me around. All in all it was a good experience. Thanks Irie."
950052,3774888,2013-03-13,5158842,Patrick,Kumara is a super nice guy with a clean and modern apartment.  I stayed here for SxSWi 2013 and loved the fact that I could park my car in a secure parking lot and then take a $1 bus ride in to the middle of SxSW (much easier and cheaper then parking downtown or taking a taxi).  I would stay here again next year.
950052,6539201,2013-08-16,7598741,Thi,"Kumara and his girlfriend were excellent hosts. They were welcoming, and this place was extremely well kept. These guys are awesome! I would love to stay there again if I'm ever in town. "
950052,6879865,2013-08-28,8070071,Nicola,"I stayed at Kumara's place for a few days and I had a good time. The apartment is nice and conveniently located close to restaurants and pizza places, and just a few steps away from the bus stop. If you don't have a car, the bus will take you to UT and downtown in just a few minutes. Kumara is a great guy and he is happy to give useful tips and show you around if he can. If you ever happen to spend some days at his place, you won't regret it!"
950052,16850536,2014-08-03,17748911,Carl,Had a great time at Kumara's place - it is exactly like the photos - nice place! great location with many restaurants near by and a supermarket across the road / bus stop to downtown just outside. Played soccer with his team a couple of times! Enjoy!
950052,32770559,2015-05-21,6027281,Prasad,"Kumara was a great host overall. He was welcoming and came to the nearest intersection to receive us.  We really enjoyed the apartment. It was very clean, silent and exactly as described. There were lot of restaurants around in the walking distance. We had many guests visiting us during our stay and kumara was so nice and never complained about it. Overall I would highly recommend this place to any one and I would like to stay again in future. "
950052,44280380,2015-08-25,30481304,Josue,"Spent three months living here while I was interning in Austin. It has a fantastic location with lots of nearby restaurants / amenities, and also close to downtown. The room with a private bathroom is very spacious and comfortable, in fact the photos don't do it justice :-) Kumara is an extremely organized, friendly and accommodating guy... an ideal roommate. I had a great time here and recommend it in the strongest possible terms!"
2380977,10928466,2014-03-13,5004898,Mike,"Zach was very accommodating, great host. Really great location, very easy access to downtown. Great place to hangout and relax, love the balcony. "
2380977,11028015,2014-03-17,5363685,Adrian,"Great Location if you want to avoid Austin's events traffic! Zach was a great host who responded almost immediately to any questions I had. He is a very respectful and laid back host. The view from the master bedrooms deck was perfect for a calm, low-key, relaxing evening conversations with friends. "
2380977,28316261,2015-03-22,5363685,Adrian,Everything was great during our SXSW vacation this year. Zach was very helpful and responsive to my questions. Great location with the home being a mere 5 minute Uber ride to 6th street. Definitely would recommend Zach's home to anyone coming into Austin for a festival or event. 
2380977,30743168,2015-04-26,21011905,Michael,"Great host who was really able to help us out! Responded to all questions quickly and was very accommodating. 

Plenty of room for our group to crash and a great location. 

Thanks Zach!"
2380977,32180702,2015-05-15,6311282,New,"The place was very nice and cozy, perfect for the 5 of us. The home was in a great location only a few minutes drive to downtown and South Congress. A quiet place to relax after a long day of hitting the town. Zach was a great host, he answered all the questions we had and was very accommodating with our check in & check out requests. We will definitely stay here again the next time in Austin. Thank you Zach."
869081,3758752,2013-03-11,3630889,Scott,"From the moment we contacted Michael Ann our vacation began. She is a kind and fun loving person. The reservation process was seamless, checking in was like meeting a family member and any further communications we have with Michael Ann was like chatting with a friend from home. 

Once we arrived at the home the enchanting gardens welcome you and you feel as if you are in key west not Austin. The home itself is stunning and every convenience you could think of is available. I particularly liked the kitchen and the views from the living room. 

The bedroom was spacious with a wonderful walk in closet, the living room has a great entertainment center available. 

The neighborhood itself is very Austin. Well manicured gardens and very trendy looking homes around the neighborhood, wonderful for a jog during the morning. 

I can't recommend this piece of heaven enough. You'll have to try it to believe it.   "
869081,8810936,2013-11-18,10051074,Maria,"I couldn't have asked for a better getaway spot! We went down to Austin for one night on Saturday with the intention of going out to 6th street for the evening and once we arrived at Michael's place we saw what a little oasis it was and we didn't even go out. If you're in need of a quiet, relaxing place to decompress and forget your troubles, this is the place for you! The garage apartment is very clean and cozy with a great kitchen stocked with all the utensils you'd need to cook with (we got up Sunday morning, bought breakfast food and made our own breakfast there instead of going out). I can't decide which feature about Michael's place is my favorite, but If I had to choose it would be the enclosed outdoor shower (don't worry, there's also a normal shower in the restroom inside). Michael Ann is the perfect host - very welcoming and she always responded in a timely manner to all of our questions. She is a wonderful person with a refreshing, free spirited attitude and I'm so glad to have met her. "
869081,9579944,2014-01-02,9730690,Susan,"I loved this place! we booked with Michael the day of and she was able to accommodate us on New Year's Eve! it was like spending the night inside a treehouse, the garage apartment is perfect for a romantic getaway. we had 3 people stay and it was still very roomy! close enough to drive downtown and so perfect for a nice trip to Austin. I loved staying here, definitely coming back on our next trip to Austin!!! "
869081,10400703,2014-02-17,11819579,Laura,"We had so much fun in Austin and our ""secret"" was staying at Michael Ann's. It was the perfect home away from home, and Michael Ann was the perfect host (there if we needed her, but never in the way). The apartment was delightful and fully equipped, and the Crestview neighborhood was great for exploring and perfect for taking walks. We look forward to going back soon, and of course we will stay at Michael Ann's!"
869081,10562646,2014-02-24,12473610,Greyson,"Do yourself a favor...
Rent this space for your next visit to Austin!  
Michael is all class.  The place is well furnished and precious
Her number one rule of the house is ""Have Fun!""  ALLLLLL CLASS

Example:  We forgot a tablet changer and offered to gift it to the house.  Instead, she is graciously has offered to mail it to us

Did I mention class?

Romantic getaway or small family retreat... perfect

-Greyson   "
869081,10934530,2014-03-13,3363600,Forest,"Had a wonderful stay. Michael-Anne was a welcoming host who went out of her way to make my stay pleasant. Can't say enough great things about this! The bed was comfortable and beat any hotel bed I've stayed in. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, this is the place to stay. "
869081,11746358,2014-04-14,12609719,Cheryl,We enjoyed every minute of our stay at Michael's homey and comfortable backyard garage apartment. She is incredibly hospitable and provided everything we could have asked for (even fashion advice!). The back yard is a peaceful oasis!
869081,12635484,2014-05-06,13028633,Melissa,"Michael Ann is a gracious and lovely host. She knows exactly how to make you feel welcome and comfortable during your stay. Her ""treehouse"" apartment is gorgeous and very inviting -- meticulously clean and such a beautiful space! I felt like I was at home the second I walked through the door. We loved all the windows and woke to peaceful wind chimes and birds chirping. The optional outdoor shower just added to the relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely stay at Michael Ann's the next time I visit Austin!"
869081,12860490,2014-05-12,1649097,New,"What a nice place.  We had a great stay in this apartment.  It was spacious, the bed was comfy and it was one of the nicest places we have stayed in Austin using AirBnB.  The location was great,  there were great places nearby to eat and it was easy to get to as well.   I would recommend it if you are looking for a reasonably quiet neighborhood.   Michael was great as well.  Personable and very charming.  My wife and I had a great time"
869081,13106364,2014-05-19,15199982,Evan,"Incredible time, gracious and accommodating, flexible host.  The apartment is GORGEOUS and so perfectly decorated, maintained, cleaned, and stocked.  We booked this apartment for our wedding night.  My wife was able to check in early since we had wedding stuff to do all day.  When we got there, she had some Topo Chico ready for us.  There's a piano, and the kitchen is stocked with enough stuff for an absolutely delicious breakfast the next morning (and Dunkin' Donuts coffee too!) on the balcony/patio.  We were disappointed that we weren't able to stay for the whole day or another night, if for no other reason than to use the private outdoor shower.  But we left early the next morning to go on our honeymoon, so we couldn't take advantage of all the amenities that ""The Treehouse"" has to offer.  We couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
869081,13447414,2014-05-27,11801090,Angela,Love love love the Treehouse. We had a wonderful time!
869081,13852707,2014-06-06,6674159,Katie,"The rental was perfect for our stay in Austin!  Michael Ann greeted us when we arrived and we could not have asked for a better host!  She is very welcoming and accommodating.  The rental was very tranquil and relaxing and also impeccably clean.  It is centrally located in Austin and the neighborhood is very walkable.  The kitchen was also well stocked.  We felt like we were at home the minute we arrived!  If you want a beautiful and relaxing place to stay in Austin, look no further!  We enjoyed our stay and would stay here if our travels took us through Austin again.  "
869081,16030468,2014-07-20,10436637,Dan,"If things like cleanliness, comfort, relaxing, and warm conversation appeal to you even in the slightest, definitely stay here. This was my second time here and unfortunately will probably be my last. While I'm sure some people might actually dislike a warm reception, amazing kitchen, the charming character of the apartment, or the continuing list of great things about this apartment - I'm now one of those people most Austin residents speak ill of by moving to Austin. So instead of staying at Michael Ann's apartment whenever I travel to Austin for work, I'll just be recommending this new (seriously, like blocks away) neighbor to EVERYONE that needs a place to stay in Austin. 

A couple other details for those looking: 

I've had some really bad/slow WiFi at some places. This WiFi isn't sourced by fiber or anything, but it still measures against the one metric we all use for internet connections: streaming netflix an hbogo. (it's like 5-8Mbs)

This house has a lot of windows so if you can be as lucky as I was to stay here during two big lightning storms it's incredible. 

The kitchen is pretty well stocked with tools. Not, like, there's a few spatulas stocked. More like I was able to make pesto with the food processor and bake salmon stocked. If you at all like cooking, this kitchen is what you want. "
869081,17782702,2014-08-17,5627225,Brian,"Michael Ann's space was great. It was easy to find, the location was excellent, and everything was just very, very comfortable. There was even a nice guidebook with instructions right when I got inside. She was nothing but kind and warm in all of our interactions, and even though I only saw her face-to-face one time, the entire visit was quite nice.

I would definitely stay here again."
869081,20126589,2014-09-23,21500696,Matthew,"Michael Ann was out of town when we arrived, but she gave us detailed instructions on how to access the apartment and how to treat the space. When we did finally meet her she was extremely welcoming and helpful helping us figure out what to do and where to go during our short stay. And the space is absolutely lovely! I personally enjoyed having the piano to play around with in my downtime! Overall, I don't think we could have had a better experience"
869081,20432690,2014-09-29,1743914,Negina,Michael Ann hosted my in-laws this past weekend. Her place was definitely had a home-away-from-home feeling. The sitting room in the bedroom closet was my favorite part...so cozy! Check in and out went very smoothly and convenient to our schedules. My in-laws had nothing but glowing comments about their first Airbnb experience.
869081,20950095,2014-10-08,2331979,Barbara,"Michael Ann was the perfect host.  She made you feel right at home the minute you arrived.  Her apartment was adorable and very clean.  The location is great, on  a lovely quiet street. Everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay was provided.  And, if you have any questions she  is very accessible. If you are looking for that special place to stay in Austin this is it."
869081,21161302,2014-10-12,10664249,Tim,"Wow, what a wonderful stay in Michael Ann's fabulous tree house! She was so warm, welcoming, and loved sharing all of her inside scoop on Austin. We instantly felt right at home. We loved all the natural light, opening the windows and hearing the birds, the kitchen with filtered water, and the shower with wonderful water pressure. We did not have a car during our stay and loved to explore her neighborhood by foot and bike. There was a great little pizza/sandwich shop just down the block, lots of gyms a few blocks away, and best of all a Juiceland right down the street. We felt extremely safe exploring the neighborhood, even at night walking back from the bus. We walked two long blocks to the MetroRapid (803) which brought us through UT  and dropped us right in downtown Austin within half an hour. We are so thankful Michael Ann! "
869081,21207491,2014-10-13,20394574,Ethan,Michael Ann was a fantastic host. Her home is beautiful and the surrounding neighborhood is quiet and well-maintained. We enjoyed taking a Sunday morning bike ride (with the bikes she graciously let us borrow) around the neighborhood. The outdoor shower was especially relaxing after a long day of traveling and exploring the city. Everything we needed was there waiting for us. We hope to be back soon!
869081,22332129,2014-11-03,22846143,Sara,"We loved our stay here! Michael Ann was a great host, offering snacks & maps around town. The apartment is exactly like the pictures. It's a fantastic location, impeccably clean, and very comfortable. We look forward to staying again!"
869081,22615284,2014-11-10,23041114,Peter,"Michael Ann was a terrific host and the ""garage"" apt was even better than the photos. The Crestview neighborhood is on the far north side of Austin. It is quiet and very residential, but it is an easy drive to all the Austin hotspots (downtown is about 15 minutes away). Loved the apt and would definitely come back!"
869081,23325653,2014-11-29,22323236,Douglas,"Michael Ann was very welcoming and attentive.  The apartment was as beautiful and comfortable as it looked in the pictures.  The kitchen was fully able to accommodate the preparation of a Thanksgiving feast; the shower was spacious; the bed was comfortable; the balcony was wonderfully in the trees, with bird songs and wind chines providing musical backdrop; the location was convenient to appropriate shopping (and to downtown if we had so desired) - overall a thoroughly wonderful place to stay while visiting Austion.  Highly recommended.  Just note, the apartment is a flight of stairs to this ""above the garage"" apartment - not an issue for us, but maybe for someone else."
869081,24423094,2014-12-28,23610779,Sherry,"We loved our stay at the Treehouse apartment. Michael Ann provided everything we could have needed. I wish we could have spent more time in the apartment to use the wonderful kitchen but since our daughter and son live there and all the other family were staying with them, we were at their houses most of the time visiting. "
869081,25872325,2015-01-28,63563,Kitty,"What a great airbnb property. Really. It is not easy to get the mix of spaciousness and cozy so exactly right, but Michael Ann does it extremely well. From superb communication to a most welcoming greeting, this is definitely one of my favorite airbnb experiences. The space is exactly as described (well better) . Super private and comfortable, there is nothing that has not been considered. The neighborhood is also perfect--none of the congestion found in other areas of Austin because of less population density, but all of the amenities nearby. Michael Ann left a perfect snack of nuts on the porch with gerber daisies the first night--a different and elegant touch. All in all, this is one of those rare finds that does exactly what airbnb is meant to do--connect people with hosts and places that cannot be replicated. Since I was visiting my daughter, she came over for dinner, to play games, etc., and it felt like being at home. Easy. Highly recommend this property."
869081,28252444,2015-03-21,26582921,Helen,"Michael Ann was a wonderful and welcoming host.  the apt was clean and homey and ready for us when we arrived.  The backyard and outdoor shower were great. We wanted to stay in this neighborhood because we wanted to stay close to friends but there are plenty of good restaurants nearby - Fonda San Miguel, Peach taco, La Mancha, Torchy's, and Central market with outdoor seating and playground is close by.  We enjoyed staying here!  "
869081,28482423,2015-03-24,13378179,Jessica,"We loved this tree house apartment. It was so comfy and cozy, we wish we had more time to relax and enjoy it. Michael Ann was so hospitable and friendly! The juice shop and taco deli walking distance were great as well as the pizza/deli down the street. We were probably 10-15 minutes from downtown so it was great to be out of the hectic city. The price was great and we hope to be back. We would recommend this place to anyone interested! Oh and the bed was so comfy!! Thanks michael ann for a great weekend experience!"
869081,28949707,2015-04-01,27674024,Amanda,Wonderful stay during our Anniversary.
869081,29697736,2015-04-11,14105285,Kelly,"I was so sad to leave this amazing space. The decor is fabulous and there is not a hospitality detail missed. Michael Ann has created the perfect space for any and all visitors from a romantic getaway to a simple business trip like mine. It is the perfect balance of whimsy and practicality. And to be honest, the pictures don't do it justice!  

What a great place with a phenomenal host. I will be back Michael Ann!"
869081,29945280,2015-04-14,17225487,Mary,"This was the best AirBnB experience I've had by far. Michael Ann was an amazing host. From her attention to detail and the warmth of how she welcomes you...there were beers and goodies in the fridge. She even brought us a bottle of wine and eggs for breakfast. There really are no words for how wonderful and thoughtful she is.  Her Treehouse is gorgeous, the pictures really don't do it justice.  It was immaculate with everything you could possibly need.  Very well stocked kitchen, clean linens, and towels.  It has everything you could possibly need and more! Not to mention her beautiful backyard with the huge trees, it's a little piece of heaven.  We loved staying here and if you are ever in Austin, this would be the only place you would want to stay.  "
869081,30414980,2015-04-21,6522883,Ej,"Michael Ann was a lovely host, greeted us with a bit of groceries and made us feel at home!  The 'Tree House' had loads of charm & character and just as described.  The backyard was peaceful and the decor was adorable.  The neighborhood was very quiet and allowed for some nice nights sitting out on the balcony and relaxing.  The piano allowed for my wife to see how much she remembered playing some songs which made for a really memorable night.  Would definitely recommend!  Thanks for everything Michael Ann!"
869081,30513647,2015-04-23,3382796,Kimberly,"This backyard retreat exceeded all expectations. The dwelling is filled with whimsical treasures and set in a beautiful location. Michael Ann is a wonderful host and I look forward to staying again (for longer this time). She's created a peace filled space, perfect for work travel or a vacation getaway."
869081,30830758,2015-04-27,31487463,Ryan,"Beautiful garage apartment, just as described! The space is located in a quiet, dreamy suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of Austin. Our host was extremely friendly and amendable. My only regret is that my girlfriend and I didn't stay here the whole time we were in Austin!

Our host let us ride her beach cruiser bicycles housed in the garage. The neighborhood is all completely flat, perfect for a morning or evening stroll on a sunny day. Even more perfect after a morning spent taking an outdoor shower! What a perfect little space!"
869081,32831457,2015-05-22,23216628,Kathleen,We loved our stay!  The apartment was beautifully decorated and complete with all amenities.  Michael Ann was so nice and very accommodating.   We arrived late on our first night and Michael Ann put beer and snacks in the frig and made sure we had coffee and eggs inn the morning.  The couch pull out bed was surprisingly comfortable.  The backyard looks like something out of Better Homes and Gardens.  I highly recommend this Treehouse Apartment.  
869081,36184149,2015-06-26,63563,Kitty,"This is the second time in six months that I have stayed at Michael Ann's amazing respite, and that should say it all. My husband and I were traveling for a few weeks, and knowing that we would need a rest before the final push home, we stayed here for three nights. All the things I look for apply to this lovely Austin apartment--great location, as advertised (better actually), excellent communication, super clean, etc. But what I cannot figure out is how she knows exactly what a traveler needs and provides it so effortlessly in this cozy (not sterile) place. It is all there, as well as many other touches that go well beyond the typical airbnb properties (and they are always excellent in my experience). Super comfy bed, gourmet kitchen, a walk-in room/closet that is a brilliant use of space, and a desk that any writer would want to sit at and work. Plus outdoor areas that include an outdoor shower (in addition to the one in the apartment). And above all, a caring host. Be sure to visit the Little Deli up the street for the Margarita pizza and turkey sandwich, and take a run on Bull Shoal or a swim in two nearby municipal pools. Such a great place for a vacation."
869081,47074654,2015-09-15,8608103,Val,"Michael Ann couldn't possibly have been a better hostess! She was an absolute pleasure to meet and her space was one of the most comfortable airbnb experiences I've had- wish we could've enjoyed it for longer! Great location with everything you need! Will not hesitate to book again when we head back to Austin! Thanks for everything, Michael Ann!"
869081,49643147,2015-10-05,11475183,Christy,"My husband and I absolutely loved Michael Ann's beautiful garage apartment! The location was perfect for exploring everything Austin has to offer, even Lake Travis, which was an easy AND scenic 30 minute drive away. The apartment itself was the perfect size for 2-4 people. Very cozy yet private and separate from the main home. It seemed like each morning, I noticed a new unique piece of artwork on the walls, or an antique item I had glanced over before. The decor brought back memories of staying with grandparents as a child, all the way down to the beautifully treed backyard. 
Michael Ann herself was extremely attentive and so welcoming! She offered up beers and snacks on our first night and regularly made sure we had everything we needed. 
We will be recommending her place to all our friends and family who visit the area, and hopefully be back ourselves one day! "
869081,50070366,2015-10-09,13159268,Brooke,"Love this perfectly relaxing apartment! Michael Ann is the sweetest host - helpful, welcoming, responsive and has thought of everything. The space is so cozy with beautiful decorative touches, you'll feel at home right away. The kitchen is well-stocked for your cooking needs, and there are plenty of extra linens. We were so sad to leave! Would definitely recommend; to be able to call a place like this home for a few days helped make wonderful Austin even more enjoyable. "
869081,50435145,2015-10-12,36665762,Rachel,Michael Ann was very helpful and friendly.  The place was perfect and had everything we needed.  We would absolutely stay there again.  
869081,51346375,2015-10-19,45400659,Judy,"Michael Ann made us feel welcome right from the nuts and the cheese and crackers on the table.  The lights were on so we could navigate easily after our nighttime arrival.
The space was charming and just as advertised.  the neighborhood was lovely and quiet.  Many thanks."
869081,52215009,2015-10-27,40518987,Joey,"I found this little gem to be unbelievably beautiful and peaceful. Nestled in the treetops on a quiet street, the Treehouse was especially tranquil. The apartment was beautifully appointed with a little bit of funky ATX vibe, but still classy and elegant. The kitchen was gorgeous and well stocked. This place was perfect for me and I hope to return many times in the future. "
869081,52845348,2015-11-02,6097121,Patrick,"Michael Ann's place was fabulous. The place really felt like a home. 
The pictures do not do it justice. And she was fabulous herself. So helpful.  It is one of the best Airbnb places I have stayed, and I have been in a lot. And if you like to cook, it is certainly the most complete kitchen I have seen.  Enjoy her place, and book early."
2149762,10168617,2014-02-03,5473210,Nicolette,"We were searching for last minute accommodations and Lisa was very accommodating! Although she wasn't able to meet us for check-in,  it was very easy to get into the house and she left a note for us. She was also available by phone for any questions we had. The house is very cute, artsy and in a great location- in the heart of east Austin and a quick cab ride to downtown. I recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin for a nice weekend getaway. I would definitely stay here again!"
2149762,10256238,2014-02-09,2680289,Hannah,"Super cute, super clean and super easy, Would highly recommend staying here! "
2149762,10396187,2014-02-17,11674425,Bronwyn,"When we went to austin, we didn't know exactly where to stay, in terms of proximity to downtown/events, etc.  Turns out being a bit further east at Lisa's place was perfect.  We rented bikes from the eastside peddle pushers and cruised the whole city!  It was such a relief to get out of downtown at the end of the night, and the 15 minute safe, easy, flat bikeride back to the bungalo was exactly what we needed. It was quiet, funky, honest and down-home.  We felt right at home and really loved the area: mixed industrial/arts community, amazing street art/grafity, un-gentrified and real.  I'd stay at Lisa's again for sure.  We texted her a few times to get info about local stuff and she was very helpful.



"
2149762,10957584,2014-03-15,972257,Louise,"Want to leave a special thankyou for Lisa, the house was perfect and clean and easy to get to. Lisa was not only kind anough to let us have a later check out and leave our things there until late afternoon but she also helped us by phoning tje airport and helping us find our lost baggage. She was incredibly helpful without losing her smile at all!
If i come back I will definitly contact Lisa again as she helped us feel very looked after. "
2149762,11018690,2014-03-17,9127681,Katelyn,Lisa was a pleasure to coordinate with and her house was lovely!
2149762,11312596,2014-03-29,13395645,Lydia,"The Bungalow was super cute from the moment we drove up to the house at night! When we got there, everything looked really welcoming and the art around the house was really awesome. At the end of our stay, we all wanted to stay much longer!"
2149762,11358324,2014-03-31,12363321,Sarah,"Lisa's bungalow is wonderful. It perfectly accommodated four people, and could have fit a couple more on the couches. Spacious and in such a cute neighborhood! Lisa wasn't able to meet up with us for check-in, but it was super easy to find it and get into the house. Within walking distance to the lake and pretty close to downtown- we took a cab because it was too far for us to walk. We had no issues arise and would highly recommend it to anyone!  "
2149762,11436500,2014-04-02,1745125,Dan,Lisa was great to work with and the place was perfect for what we needed. The house was a short drive from just about everything. Couldn't recommend renting from Lisa enough. 
2149762,11614199,2014-04-09,11193302,Shri,"Lisa's Eastside Bungalow is a sweet spot in Austin, convenient to everything and walkable to a few yummy restaurants/cafes/and juices galore! Her two-bedroom, one-bath home provided a great spot for a couple and one friend to retreat. The space was clean and there were plenty of towels/sheets. There is a full kitchen with tea provided, though you'll need to bring salt/pepper and any spices if you plan to cook much! Thanks for a great stay! "
2149762,11749380,2014-04-14,6886329,Jill,Lisa's place in Austin served us well.  It's in a cute neighborhood and we enjoyed the ~2 mile walk to downtown.  The space is just as presented and was very clean.  Lisa couldn't have been easier to work with and it was easy to get in and out.  Highly recommended!
2149762,12274481,2014-04-28,11761373,Mark,"Lisa is really cool, fun and likeable.  And guess what? Her lovely house is exactly like that too.  When I arrived I spent a while taking snapshots all over the house, and then I took a short little stroll around the neighbourhood and really enjoyed taking in the atmosphere. It's a great part of town, and close enough to downtown to walk if you want to. Lisa was very easy and gracious to deal with, always patient and good-humoured.  If you stay anywhere else in Austin, it will be your loss."
2149762,12605611,2014-05-06,11561477,Tyler,"Lisa has an incredibly clean and well maintained property which she has listed on Airbnb.  We had a couple of questions and Lisa answered them in a timely manor.  I highly recommend booking a stay with Lisa, the location is perfect for anyone taking a trip to Austin, TX and the recommendations she gives for food are fantastic.  The listing matched the actual house perfectly and the central air seems like it will be essential during Austin's heat waves.  I was also pleasantly surprised to find good art on the walls.  Many Airbnb homes feel plain, but Lisa's house was wall to wall with great art to look at.  Essentially Lisa's home is a ""not to be missed"" resource on Airbnb.  "
2149762,13108005,2014-05-19,15242114,Bill,Lisa provided an outstanding level of communication and her accommodations were as represented. Her place is conveniently located in Austin and I would not hesitate to do business with her again. Thankful for her allowing us to utilize her space last weekend!
2149762,13877594,2014-06-07,6640025,Christopher,"Everything went great, no complaints"
2149762,13944351,2014-06-09,10040660,Stephen,Great location. Fun house. Wonderful host. Thank you!
2149762,14061590,2014-06-10,16296678,Hardik,"Dear Lisa, 
We want to thank you for being so gracious and opening your beautiful home for us last weekend. we had a wonderful stay over there and the facilities could not have been any better. there is none of us who left not longing to go back. 

thanks again ! 
Sincerely,
Hardik"
2149762,14127815,2014-06-12,15763502,Mandy,"Staying at Lisa's was a great mini getaway! First of all, Lisa was great before we got there, sending us information about tons of local things to do. When we did arrive, the house was awesome! Just enough space for a small group. It was decorated with some cool art, and murals. Location was very accessible to all of the fun things we did, barton springs, 6th street night life, and FOOD TRUCKS...tons of yummy food trucks! I got a chance to meet Lisa and her family and they were  wonderful. I am thinking about moving to Austin and she had lots of helpful advice and knowledge of the area. When I go back to apartment/job hunt I would definitely stay at Lisa's again! "
2149762,14634545,2014-06-23,2672939,Elena,"Very cute place!  Very short drive/cab ride to east 6th area, downtown. Couple of coffee shops in walking distance.  Nice backyard. Central air conditioning was amazing for summer in Austin. Quiet neighborhood.  Easy parking.  Seamless ""check-in"" and ""check-out.""  The cleaning lady promptly arrived at 11 AM on check out day.  Thanks Lisa!"
2149762,15103094,2014-07-02,7598307,Scott,"Quaint and comfortable!  Me and my family really liked being close to the city and around the corner from the most amazing Juice place... Oh and walks to the River.  Good times. Our host was amazing, gave us advice, checked in on us and even ET us use her Pack-N-Play for our infant so we didn't have to lug it from California.  I recommend this little bungalow highly."
2149762,15193271,2014-07-04,594083,Beth,Lisa's place was perfect! Full of artistic charm and whimsy. This cozy bungalow with two big rooms was the size for my friend and I when we travelled to Austin. Was very clean and relaxing. I wish I could've stayed longer than one night. Thank you Lisa!
2149762,15560833,2014-07-11,17717511,Kayla,"Our stay at Lisa's cozy little bungalow was perfect! The place was in a great location close to everything we needed. We got the opportunity to meet Lisa and chat with her briefly. She was very warm and friendly, offering advice on places to eat. The check in and check out process was easy and hassle free. We would definitely stay here again for future Austin visits!"
2149762,15733770,2014-07-14,1720084,Kiel,What a wonderful little home right down the street from some great little restaurants and a stones throw from downtown. We had a lovely time. 
2149762,15985001,2014-07-19,16471176,Dominic,"Our experience was an amazing one! This was our 3rd time in Austin within ONE month and I think we have fell in love with this city. Lisa was great - she made us feel right at home - Very easy to communicate with! Her place was very clean and tidy - very comfortable! The neighborhood was safe and the location was perfect, since we spent majority of our time in Downtown Austin. "
2149762,16066810,2014-07-21,5005923,Avi,"Thank you! Cute place- clean, nicely decorated. Host gave great recs on eastside hotspots as well. "
2149762,16840291,2014-08-03,11846719,Sara,"While I didn't personally stay in Lisa's abode, the three interns that I manage really enjoyed the space. They thought it was quirky and unique. Lisa was communicative and attentive, so I would book again with her in the future. "
2149762,17221543,2014-08-09,2394835,John,"Charming bungalow in a great location east of downtown. The bungalow is clean, well-decorated, well-furnished, and the embodiment of Austin's ""quirckiness"", which I love. The location on the east side of downtown is both convenient and does not seem subject to the traffic that often plagues Austin. Lisa, the hostess, is both responsive and accomodating. She checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything.

I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great and affordable alternative to the generic hotels often found around the town."
2149762,17449486,2014-08-12,3853853,Michelle,"Super cute bungalow in East Austin, lots of great bars and eats nearby! The location was fantastic, just minutes from downtown:) "
2149762,17548882,2014-08-13,12449692,Maureen,"She was quick to respond, beyond friendly and the neighborhood is perfect for vising Austin"
2149762,17604746,2014-08-14,4976916,Steve And Mariana,"Thanks Lisa!  We enjoyed our short stay very much.  Such a nice cozy bungalow that was perfect for our trip.  We also ""enjoyed"" the experience of getting our dinner (take (email hidden) Oak Barbecue around the corner.  We got take out there and enjoyed a quiet evening.  Thanks again! "
2149762,17763419,2014-08-17,234282,Andrew,"Staying at Lisa's place is an insight into the real gem that is Austin. Her spacious house has great art work in every nook and cranny, while around the corner there is an amazing fresh juice bar. It's only a short cab ride (~$20) away from the heart of downtown, but far enough to feel like a residential escape from the bustle of the city."
2149762,17984859,2014-08-19,19991089,Maku Alberto,"My friends and I have had a very good experience at this little nice house. It's just what we need for a weekend in this amazing city. The house is very comfy, cool and has all the amenities we all need, A/C, wifi, etc. Very close to great shops, restaurants and bars. I recommend it 100%."
2149762,18562708,2014-08-28,19391080,Rebecca,"My 2 girlfriends and I had a great stay at this cozy little bungalow! Just minutes from many downtown attractions/hot spots made it easy and convenient. The bungalow was clean and homy, and we spent most of our evenings and some mornings on the back deck chatting and drinking tea or coffee. Lisa was great at keeping in touch the days leading up to the trip as well as while we were there. She very much gave us our privacy during our stay. Comfortable beds and decent amenities made this such a breeze for us - especially for us 2 out-of-towners experiencing Austin for the first time!"
2149762,18824538,2014-09-01,19685706,Katarina,"First, I have to say that Lisa was really easy and great to work with - she answered all of my questions within 1 business day and approved our rental request immediately. She e-mailed a few days before our trip to make sure that we had all of the check-in information and gave us a list of her favorite places to eat and drink in the neighborhood, which was really helpful! The bungalow is a quirky older building and there's some funny things with switches powering lights and fans you wouldn't expect them to power (kind of a fun game to play!), so Lisa also made sure that we knew how everything worked upon check-in. She was attentive, personable and available but not overbearing when we arrived. She's great to rent from! That being said, we were a bit disappointed with the state of certain things in the house. The house itself is really cute, a purple bungalow that's great for a girl's weekend. However, we felt the pictures were a bit misleading. First, the front and backyards were in pretty bad shape when we arrived. They didn't look like the nice, trimmed yards in the photos. I understand it was summer in Austin, so things will be dead, but the yards were overgrown, pots were turned over with dead plants in them, random toys were scattered around, all around it was messy. Lots of dirt (even on the porches), not much greenery and cozy places to hang like the photos would lead you to believe. Inside the house, the vents were covered in dust, the fridge was stained and messy on the inside, and the shower was in bad shape, too. At first glance, the house looks great but these small details can really make a difference in the comfort of a stay. The house has a lot of potential; it's spacious, has character, lots of yard space to hang out outside, etc. But I think it needs some more thorough cleaning. The neighborhood is definitely ""up and coming,"" (some houses in great condition, others not so much), but it's super short and convenient to get to/from the airport and downtown, which is awesome, and there are a lot of good bars and restaurants in the area. I would rent in this neighborhood again. I would also rent from Lisa, as a host, again but not this specific house until some of the things mentioned above were cleaned up..."
2149762,19131937,2014-09-07,3751261,Heather,"Lisa was great! She provided us with helpful recommendations on places to go locally, and took the time to check in via text messages to make sure we were having a good time. She was even kind enough to let us stay past checkout, since there were no other guests coming right away, and our flight wasn't until late evening so there was no easy place to store our bags. We really appreciated her flexibility and understanding. Thank you Lisa for helping my friend and I enjoy our stay in Austin!"
2149762,20029684,2014-09-22,1622956,Brendon,"Such a perfect spot for a austin travel. Staying here for Fantastic Fest, we were in the thick of everything. Lisa left the place spotless and was super accommodating. "
2149762,20283672,2014-09-27,6780740,Rena,"Great, funky little house in an easily accessible part of town. Lisa was great about getting back to me and made me feel comfortable and welcome. "
2149762,20810541,2014-10-06,1721413,Stephanie,"Lisa was attentive and very welcoming even though we never met in person! Very communicative and pleasant.  House was great, just as described and pictured.  It's cute, quaint and funky - just like Austin :) Neighborhood was quiet and still close to lots of fun things.  Loved all the fun art and having the juice bar right down the street, so convenient after a day/night of festing.  Thanks, Lisa!!"
2149762,21195869,2014-10-13,10948590,Gabrielle,"Lisa was a FANTASTIC host. This is the first time I have ever used air bnb and her house made our trip for ACL so great. It's very nicely decorated and had a very homey vibe. We were idiots and locked ourselves out twice on accident and she was completely understanding and helped us get back inside. I would recommend this neighborhood for your stay in Austin. It's down the street from a juice land, which was a magical place and only about a $15 ride to the festival. Our stay was unforgettable! Thanks Lisa!"
2149762,21371332,2014-10-15,19941220,Peter,"Great Airbnb experience. Very friendly and helpful host, and a great place to stay when in Austin. Would definitely rebook."
2149762,21379589,2014-10-16,20211154,Brian,Lovely house in a fun neighborhood. Lots of good bars and restaurants right around the corner. House was exactly as described. Thanks Lisa!!!
2149762,21438859,2014-10-17,10028835,Sarah,"Nous n'avons pas rencontré Lisa mais nous avons tout de même été bien accueillis. Le bungalow était parfait, propre et très agréable à vivre. Nous regrettons de ne pas y être restés plus longtemps."
2149762,21489784,2014-10-18,3783357,Nick,Lisa was very nice and helpful. She provided me with all of the info I needed as soon as the reservation was made. She was very personable and I would highly recommend her cool Eastside Bungalow. 
2149762,21551678,2014-10-19,2079525,Megan,"Lisa's communication was prompt and clear, and her house is just as pictured in the photos. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a few restaurants and bars (we liked the Tamale House for brunch) with easy access to other parts of Austin ($9 uber to downtown). 

Heads up that the two beds are full size instead of queen and the mattress was quite uncomfortable. My fiancé and I only stayed one night, so it wasn't a problem for us, but I would want to know a detail like that before I booked this place for a week. "
2149762,21710542,2014-10-22,4624719,Klara,"Lisa was a great host, she responded to all communication quickly and efficiently. She was very flexible plus she left great suggestions for bars and food. The place was as described, comfortable, cool and in a trendy neighbourhood, which we loved!  We found it quite easy to get around especially with the new bikes which you can park about 4 blocks from the house. Thanks Lisa! "
2149762,22582013,2014-11-10,12927056,Daniel,"Lisa's place was excellent. Cute, spacious (bigger than the pictures make it seem!) house that treated three of us very well on our four night stay. There were plenty of food and juice options nearby, as well as a general store which came in very handy. Would definitely stay again."
2149762,22826912,2014-11-16,10860081,Hillary,"We had a lovely stay at Lisa's bungalow. Her communication was very clear, done far in advance and she also checked in with us right before our trip to make sure we had everything we needed. The space is great for four people for a long weekend. It is located on a quaint little street that is accessible, by walking,to lots of cafes and bars/restaurants as well as buses!"
2149762,23025105,2014-11-20,4327190,Stacey,"Lisa was super responsive and amazing! Great place in a wonderful location. Only downside is more on the AirBnB side. I tried to alter the date and stay a night. Lisa accepted, but I still can't seem to figure out how to pay! "
2149762,23172701,2014-11-24,22297530,Audwyn,"Lisa's bungalow is just great. It's bright, spacious, has a great layout, and an awesome backyard. When I walked through the front door, I felt like I just walked into a friends place...such a good vibe! Lisa was great with communication, even around such a busy weekend, and checked on us after a particularly tempestuous thunderstorm to make sure we were alright. I would definitely stay here again. "
2149762,23264447,2014-11-27,21005521,Chris,"We received an e-mail in advance with everything we needed to know. 

There were fresh flowers on the counter and Lone Star beers in the fridge when we arrived - whoohoo! Welcome to Texas!

The neighborhood was urban, but it seemed like a very quiet street - and it was. We were close to everything.

Lisa was very responsive via text and e-mails to our needs. Example: there was an issue with one of the blinds. I texted her and she came the next day and fixed while we were out sightseeing.

Bungalow was super cute, and everything we needed was there. 
We'd definitely stay here again.

Only comment, and it's not really negative: old Austin houses settle over time. As such, the doors are not quite true, so they can stick or not close smoothly. Not a big deal to us at all, and somewhat out of our host's hands. But if that sort of thing bugs you, wanted to point it out."
2149762,23593397,2014-12-06,17371657,Eric,"This was a great place to stay while in Austin. Close to a bike sharing station and easy to get downtown. Great communication by Lisa prior and during our sat. Cozy spot!

Thanks! 

"
2149762,23757905,2014-12-09,10553053,Jeff,Cute little bungalow.  Perfect for our needs.  Lisa was very communicative and accommodating host. 
2149762,23958817,2014-12-15,23955224,Brandon,Lisa did a great job at making sure that we had everything we needed without feeling intrusive. we brought our 1 year old with us and she made a special trip to drop a pack and play off for us. She checked in with us a couple times throughout the stay just to make sure all was well and we were enjoying the stay. The house was very conveniently located to all that Austin has to offer. Thank you for a great experience! 
2149762,26025025,2015-02-01,11183639,Chelsea,We loved staying at the Eastside Bungalow. The description was perfect and Lisa was always available if we needed anything. We spent the nights dancing and listening to Lisa's impressive vinyl collection. 
2149762,26311926,2015-02-09,842128,Kelsey,"Lisa sent over very detailed instructions the week of the rental and everything was incredibly straightforward. She texted the day of check-in to make sure everything was okay and let me know that she would be available if I needed anything. Luckily there were no issues and so I didn't have to disturb her during the stay at all.

My trip was partially revolving around work and then a girls weekend getaway. The beds were very comfortable and easily fit the 4 of us. We had a rental car and it was great to not have to worry about parking since there was a private driveway. At nights, we took Ubers to and from dinner/drinks and the price was very reasonable.

Great experience overall and would definitely recommend to others!"
2149762,26515913,2015-02-15,13779510,Layla,"This was such a great little place to stay. Lisa was warm, friendly, and flexible. The bungalow was clean with really fun decor. The back patio was a great place to sit with a glass of wine. It was a cheap Uber ride to South Congress and 6th Street, and there were some really good coffee shops and restaurants right in the neighborhood. My only tiny quibble is that there's not a lot of indoor light, but if you're using this house as a base to explore the city, like we were, it's not an issue. Not even taking off a star for it. "
2149762,26708658,2015-02-17,25092831,Zach,"Had a great time. Cute house, responsive host, fun neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!"
2149762,26850749,2015-02-20,24768486,Kaela,"We stayed at Lisa's for a few days while we explored Austin, and the place was perfect! A working kitchen, lots of outdoor space, and close to plenty of delicious food! We put bikes together and rode all over town from her house. The place was clean and well equipped with everything we needed including a comfortable bed and deluxe shower. The art on the walls was so interesting and eclectic eith a great feel. And of course, Lisa was extremely sweet and communicative! Just another tip: If you stay here you MUST eat breakfast tacos at Veracruz on Cesar Chavez. We ate there all three mornings that we were in town! "
2149762,26902041,2015-02-22,12424129,Brandi,Two girlfriends and I rented Lisa's place for a ladies weekend. The house itself is really cute and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and dishes and the house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood had some cool things nearby that were easy to walk to. Lisa was very communicative with us. Would definitely stay here again.
2149762,27116323,2015-02-25,20871722,Giselle,It was really enjoyable. Lisa was easy to communicate with and there was a lot of space. The location was an easy 5-8 Uber ride to the Capital and all if the great restaurants downtown. We parked in the driveway and never moved the car. Didn't have to stress about traffic or being too far away from all our needs.
2149762,27266087,2015-03-01,26690634,Stephen,"My friends and I had a great time staying at Lisa's bungalow! Its close to everything and very comfortably furnished! It also is for a very fair rate.

Thanks!"
2149762,27470336,2015-03-05,18063103,Jason,The place was amazing! Great location and wonderful house.
2149762,27581390,2015-03-08,2782607,Sydney,Loved the neighborhood and the bungalow-style house! We had a group of friends for a weekend trip and absolutely would stay here again. It was a short walk to the lake and several fabulous bars and restaurants. Loved the eclectic art and cozy atmosphere. Lisa was very responsive and full of great recommendations for local food and fare. Highly recommend this place.
2149762,27723121,2015-03-10,26881246,Emily,"This house was very easy to get to and perfect for my friends and I for our one night in Austin. It was conveniently located, and adorable! "
2149762,28313736,2015-03-22,4740531,Sue,"Lisa was a great host, the place was adorable and very comfortable.  The street is quiet and near an amazing park and running path.  The backyard was also great, we had our morning coffee there and just enjoyed the peace and quiet.  Easy car ride from the airport and to downtown as well.  Would definitely recommend Lisa's place and she was the perfect host.  We had everything we needed."
2149762,28701315,2015-03-29,11363313,Michelle,"Amazing, wonderful little place. Very heart-warming art-filled environment. We felt like we were in a mini art gallery- the art kept us all  entertained and in awe the whole visit:). Very spacious and clean, it didn't at all fill like 700 sq feet it is. The outdoor space is equally friendly and comfortable- super cute front and back yard. Great location. Enjoyed the walk to juiceland for some healthy tonics, coffee and donuts at Friends and Neighbors, beer from East 1st Grocery, dinner at the nearby food trucks and had a longer 35 min, unexpected walk to 6th street just because the evening was nice and wanted to keep exploring. Such a great experience. Can't wait to stay here again. Thank you Lisa! Love love love your space! "
2149762,28938054,2015-04-01,19516928,Claire,Had a great time here. Lovely place in a great neighbourhood & near to lots of cafés & restaurants. Very nice place to relax in after a busy day exploring Austin. 
2149762,29560690,2015-04-09,28827487,Mary,The bungalow was wonderful and better than described! I absolutely recommend it to anyone and everyone. I especially loved the artwork. Truly one of a kind. The house was very friendly and accommodating but left us plenty of privacy to enjoy our visit. 
2149762,30191322,2015-04-19,26899067,Stephanie,"Great space. Location was convenient to everything we needed. We didn't spend much time in the house, but it provided a comfortable, safe place to rest. Would recommend!"
2149762,30535026,2015-04-23,29544054,Howard,"Such a super convenient location!  The Butler River Trail quickly became my prime spot for running.  I could literally warm up walking from this house over there!

This intimate, cozy house is perfectly sized for couples and less.  Clean house, straightforward policies, well furnished, and safe!

I'd definitely consider this house again when I'm back in Austin!"
2149762,31629916,2015-05-08,5457566,Tristan,Lisa was an awesome host & the space was fantastic. Great location!! Highly recommended :-) 
2149762,32203977,2015-05-15,7310423,Angela,"My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Eastside Bungalow! The place is super cute & welcoming (there's lots of great art & records to peruse). Lisa made getting in super easy, and it was only a 20 min walk to downtown. She also had great recommendations for bars and good eats. I would highly recommend this listing for anyone looking to enjoy the fun of Austin, but still want a quiet and relaxing getaway. "
2149762,32485276,2015-05-18,26806698,Erin,Cute & eclectic! Easy to go to fun places!

"
2149762,35082734,2015-06-15,30932624,Sarah,"We loved this cute little house so much! It was perfect for our stay in Austin. East Austin is such a cool area with lots of neat places to eat and drink and explore- and this house is perfectly situated to both be near neat stuff but also be a bit off the beaten path. The host was very easy to work with and very accommodating. She had a portable crib that we were able to use for our little one and also made recommendations of good family friendly things to do in the area. She was overall very hospitable, easy to contact and friendly. "
2149762,35333496,2015-06-17,31549257,Mahalya,Lisa was awesome. Very helpful with our questions and super accommodating. The bungalow was the perfect size for me and my 2 friends and was also in a perfect location. Would definitely recommend!
2149762,35418013,2015-06-18,4027713,Patrick,Lisa's bungalow is in a great central Austin neighborhood. All rooms are as pictured. Loved the art throughout the house. Host communicated well via email and text. I would recommend!
2149762,35679302,2015-06-21,7592397,David,We had a great experience staying in Lisa's bungalow.  It's conveniently located to 6th street which is ideal for trying out restaurants and night life.  The house is filled with fun eclectic art and was comfortable for our group of four.
2149762,36014884,2015-06-24,31912236,Alice,"We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful property where we felt very comfortable - there was everything we could need in bathroom/bedroom/kitchen. Great location for getting to Downtown and other areas. The handbook and recommendations were so useful and gave a personal touch. 
We had a great time and would definitely recommend!  "
2149762,36134706,2015-06-25,12506602,Jill,"Lisa's place was great. Felt like we were staying with a friend. Very clean, funky neighborhood, good for kids. Quiet at night. We walked (well, I walked and my kids scootered) to breakfast at Cisco. Lisa was great with communication and super accommodating. We only stayed one night, but would definitely stay with her again. "
2149762,36337267,2015-06-27,3032067,Michael,Really enjoyed the location and Lisa was great at responding to any and all questions we had. Highly recommended. Wanted to stay another night!
2149762,36983875,2015-07-03,34390804,Steven,"While we didn't interact with Lisa in person, she was friendly and accommodating through AirBNB. The place was very unique-- Lots of stuff within a walking distance, and the house was pretty funky and cool! It was nice exploring Austin and having a fully detached and private house to come ""home"" to. The location made it really easy to get around East Austin, and Downtown. "
2149762,37481466,2015-07-07,34748154,Sandy,"The bungalow was clean and comfortable.  It looks a little different then the picture as there is a fence in front of it with a number of things in the front yard.  But, it was a great place to stay.  We felt safe, and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.  We also enjoyed what was supplied so that we could make a few of our own meals."
2149762,37762834,2015-07-10,24316553,Hang,The experience at Lisa's place was amazing. It is exactly how she states on the description and in the pictures.  I highly recommend this place.
2149762,37941312,2015-07-12,21452151,Magali,"We had the best time at the beautiful and spacious eastside bungalow. Peaceful backyard, great neighborhood with amazing bars and restaurants, walking distance to Rainey street and Red River, we couldn't have made a better choice. Lisa was very responsive and easy to deal with. We felt very welcome. A great experience, many thanks!"
2149762,38463492,2015-07-15,38182370,Lou,"Great house, nice garden, close to the city center"
2149762,38571376,2015-07-16,19915839,Adam,"Stay was great. I was only in town for a night, checked in late but everything went smooth. I communicated regularly w/ Lisa, but never saw her due to a late night (but seamless) check-in. Hope to be back soon! "
2149762,39651527,2015-07-25,35016865,Kip,"Lisa’s place is perfectly located in a funky, (in the best way possible) up and coming eastside neighborhood.  Very quiet and a good base for exploring Austin. Close to everything and walking distance to some good eats and drinks. Great communications and she was very responsive from the beginning .  We would  most definitely stay there again when we return to Austin!!"
2149762,40378119,2015-07-30,37373825,Lacy,"We had a lovely stay at Lisa's bungalow. It was comfortable and clean, and she had a nice selection of teas that we enjoyed in the morning on the cute backyard patio. It was convenient to stay there in relation to everything else in town. I would gladly stay there again. Thanks, Lisa!"
2149762,41388768,2015-08-07,9543532,Curtis,"Lisa was great…welcoming, cute bungalow and good references for food around town.  When I broke a key she came armed with bolt cutters and rescued my computer from the locked cabinet….above and beyond…Curtis "
2149762,43247806,2015-08-18,36833348,Erin,"Great little place- exactly as described in the listing! Awesome for an Austin ""home base."" My sister and I were able to feel at home and relax - great food in walking distance. A/C kept it perfectly cool. Very convenient late check in procedures. Thanks Lisa! "
2149762,43626243,2015-08-21,23437786,Mike,"We did not meet Lisa, but she was very responsive to emails and texts. The house was perfect - exactly as shown in the photos! Lisa gave us a nice list of places to eat and drink and the house was very clean. Highly recommended! "
2149762,44734497,2015-08-28,3990480,Kendall,Great location! Great house! Great yard! 
2149762,45334915,2015-09-01,732665,Alex,"Lisa's east side bungalow was just perfect for our short stay in Austin. It's conveniently located for tourists and is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with some good coffee shops, juice bars etc. The place was clean and cute and Lisa was responsive and helpful. We'd recommend it to anyone heading to Austin! "
2149762,45679389,2015-09-05,16187585,Lauren,"Such a great little house! Our host was extremely welcoming and helpful, and our accommodations were perfect. There is an object in this house that is very heavy for its size. Can you find it? We had everything we needed at this place. Also, awesome neighborhood to explore!"
2149762,46654209,2015-09-12,5266939,Lisa,"We had such a great stay in Austin. We LOVED Lisa's house. It's an absolute gem, brimming with personality. We were very comfortable and found the area to be warm and welcoming. The neighborhood is fantastic with spots within walking distance. We immediately became addicted to Juiceland (which is right around the corner). Every other neighborhood is super easy to catch a cab to. We would definitely stay with her again."
2149762,47468309,2015-09-19,4745506,Adam,Cozy house. Great Location. All around good experience.
2149762,47999021,2015-09-22,41974303,Stephen,"We had a truly wonderful stay! Lisa's home was colourful, clean & in a great location. It was stocked with everything we required to be comfortable & happy. We would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arose to return to Austin."
2149762,49111030,2015-10-01,15113394,Erwin,"Beautiful house. Very comfortable, just as the pictures describe it. Good and calm neighborhood close to Juan in a million (good breakfast) and juiceland. If you plan to visit Austin this is a great spot. I will definitely return. Thanks!!!"
2149762,49593451,2015-10-05,32871215,Jeffrey,"Great place to stay! House was well setup and had everything we needed. Good location, easy access to and from airport too! Thanks!"
2149762,50002752,2015-10-08,7600103,Sara,"Everything about the listing was spot on. The house was fun and bright in a quiet residential area that was close enough to either walk, ride the bus, or take an inexpensive ride to all the things I was interested in visiting while in town. Lisa's neighborhood recommendations were great and a nice change of pace from the more touristy parts of Austin. Check-in and check out were both easy and hassle free as everything is clearly explained beforehand. Staying at Lisa's place was definitely a highlight of my visit to Austin. "
2149762,50437908,2015-10-12,21748240,Lauren,"My friends and I stayed at Lisa's very cute and functional house for 4 nights during Austin City Limits festival. Her house was very clean and the kitchen had everything required for cooking meals. Easy to find, plenty of room for 4 of us and the backyard was big and nice to hang out in. The neighborhood was very safe and the location was close to everything. I would recommend staying at Lisa's for any visit to Austin!"
2149762,50796733,2015-10-14,1006804,Sarah,"We had a perfect experience at the bungalow! It was very clean, organized, and decorated exceptionally. We loved the art. It was such a cute spot we had a hard time leaving to go explore Austin at times! A very helpful guidebook was left by the host which detailed all the cool spots to go in the neighborhood. We walked around to shops, cafes, and of course juice land, and even to downtown although that was a bit far. Just wished we could have stayed for longer!"
2149762,51279716,2015-10-19,4386701,Eli,"Come for the kitsch, stay for the comfort! We loved the funky decor - so much more personality than a hotel. 

The house and location were perfect - and the back porch was a hit.  Highly recommend the smoothie joint down the block.

Lisa even provided a blow-up mattress to accommodate our 5th person - such a host! Thanks!
"
2149762,51483799,2015-10-20,9356481,Jana,"The place is super cute and in a very convenient location! A residential area yet close to everything but quiet. The house has loads of charm, the veranda out the back is cozy in the evening and Lisa was great to communicate with!"
2149762,51572430,2015-10-21,8000437,Rick,Great comfortable space. Located in perfect location roughly a mile from downtown. Killer Juice spot a stones throw away. Wonderful backyard that i didn't get a chance to enjoy. Highly recommend
2149762,51730704,2015-10-24,36945675,K.C.,"Cool, funky neighborhood in East Austin.  Not the quickest walk to downtown, but worth exploring (such good barbecue and tacos at food trucks nearby!) and not far (5-10 min) from downtown by uber."
4856999,49766396,2015-10-06,14684182,John,"Matt was an incredible host. He was very prompt to respond to any questions I had and left great instructions on entering and departing. The neighborhood has a very homey feel to it.

 We stayed at his house for ACL weekend and had no problem biking to and from the festival. His place slept 8 comfortably - two to a bed. 

I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a launch pad for Austin.  "
8802464,50728062,2015-10-13,46110518,Jolie,"Katelyn was an excellent host! Her home was lovely and a perfect size. She was extremely kind, and made us feel right at home. I definitely recommend Katelyn for anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Austin!"
141550,522022,2011-09-11,206982,Joolie,"Fiona was very communicative and helpful during the check in process which was really very easy.  The cottage is in a great location, super close to many bars and my favorite food truck in Austin :) It's a quaint little studio cottage with plenty of space.  Only things to note are that there are no doors, not even to the bathroom (separated with a curtain).  So it's a good place for 1 person or perhaps a couple.  It's definitely got the artsy Austin feel to it which is awesome.  Thanks Fiona!"
141550,560557,2011-09-23,1154645,Crystal,"The property was very well kept inside and warm.  It is ideal for a single person or couple.  Fiona is very communicative through every step of the process and was extremely hospitable.  She really knows the area well and gave great instructions and help evening giving me a ride. In addition, it only took me about 20 mins or so to walk to the convention center and a cab from the location is only about $6.  I would totally stay there again."
141550,682319,2011-11-01,659564,Christina,"Great location, and highly conducive to bike riders. The house itself is awesome with a fun artistic flare! Best for people who know each other pretty well as there is no real door on the bathroom, simply a curtain :) really liked Fiona, she was very nice, considerate, flexible, and accommodating. I'd definitely stay here again!"
141550,707411,2011-11-10,1236944,Heidi,"My friend and I stayed in Austin for the Funfunfun Fest and Boy it was fun!    Austin is amazing. Fiona's cottage was just what we were looking for.   It was clean and quite cheerful.  The walls are all a different bright color making it impossible to wake up on the wrong side of the bed.  Fiona was also very quick to respond to my e-mails, and greeted us right when we arrived.  She was a great host.  The cottage is also in a good neighborhood and is pretty close to 6th street where all the nightlife is.  All and all a great trip."
141550,760343,2011-12-03,21098,Tammy,"This was a great place to stay. Very cute. Good for one person or two people that know each other well (no door on the bathroom, only a curtain). Fiona was awesome and really helpful!"
141550,781523,2011-12-12,435066,Laura,"Fiona was a wonderful host - she was very accommodating, helpful, and nice. The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated, and very peaceful."
141550,1004220,2012-03-15,1867032,Andie,"Not only was this place every bit as beautiful as the photographs, but Fiona took care of me like an honored guest and saw to so many little touches that made my stay special. During SXSW madness, instead of the insanity of the downtown hotel scene, I got a calm temple of sleep where morning birdsong, wifi, and a french press ready to make coffee were mine without leaving my pajamas! Easy walk or bike from downtown, inexpensive cab ride, even pedicabs will take you back here, and there are some great restaurants not far away. Highly recommended."
141550,1018423,2012-03-19,66388,Amber,"We could not have lucked out more! Fiona is truly gracious and helpful host. Her communication is right on point, always responds very quickly and thoughtfully. A joy working with her. The cottage is just adorable. Reminded me of the house I used to rent when I lived in Austin once upon a time.. We rented bikes (at Fiona's suggestion!) and could easily be downtown in 10 minutes. Very close to convention center, awesome East side bars and local favorite, Juan in a Million!  We stayed during SxSw and had a wonderful, wonderful experience. Thanks Fiona & Airbnb!"
141550,1080675,2012-04-03,2025304,Kim,Had a great visit! Thanks Fiona!
141550,1145451,2012-04-17,2066209,Lani,"My boyfriend and I were looking to spend a relaxing long weekend in Austin, and we found it here at Fiona's place! The cottage was great to come back to after a long day running around town. We rented a car just because we planned to travel out of the city a bit, but it's location near public transit makes it easy to get around. Fiona was a wonderful host and offered helpful suggestions on where to catch a bite to eat as well as nice day trips away from Austin. Next time we make it to Austin, we'll definitely stay here again.   "
141550,1180089,2012-04-25,2089470,Katelyn,"This was a great spot to land on our very first night in Austin. We walked from Fiona's cottage up to the White Horse and caught some live music and tacos - and spent the next few days wandering around the area, biking down to Ladybird Lake and exploring east Austin. Ultimately it's not the neighborhood we decided to live in, but we enjoyed it for a few nights. The area is definitely ""up and coming"" and changes block by block -- but the location of this property is on a very quiet, quaint street that felt very safe. 

The only thing that was a little weird about the property was that the bathroom doesn't have a door -- just a curtain -- and it's right next to the bed. I noticed that you can see this from the photos Fiona posted but I just wanted to point it out as I didn't pick up on it before we checked in. 

Fiona was a great host and very quick to answer our questions but also gave us our privacy. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
141550,1270724,2012-05-13,1978073,Matt,"Had a nice couple of nights staying at Fiona's cottage which is next to her residence. It's a colorful place with nice space and amenities to stay for a bit (kitchen, dining room, etc.). Fiona was very responsive and flexible with arrival and departure times which really helped coordinating my schedule while in Austin. "
141550,1317595,2012-05-21,2169135,Andrea,Very convenient place close to downtown.  The artistic decor is beautiful.  My husband and I stayed here for a night and it was perfect for our needs.  
141550,1396332,2012-06-01,2198986,Tracey,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night and really enjoyed it. It had a nice vibe, but could have been cleaner. We never met Fiona, but we had no problems. Everything went smoothly and the location of the cottage was great for us. I would probably recommend her place to someone who isn't so picky.  "
141550,1421817,2012-06-05,2398286,Bryan,A perfect little house with a fabulous AC unit. My lady and I would bike around Austin all day and return to Fiona's Cottage sanctuary! Very private and very comfortable. Fiona is incredibly accommodating to all your travel needs. 
141550,1715444,2012-07-15,2698706,Penina,"
As if Austin needs *another* selling point! Fiona's place - and all her helpfulness - are yet more highlights of this awesome town.

If you want a launch site to 6th Street's attractions and surrounds (both the major neon ones closer to the city and the uber hipster joints further east), this is a great place to stay. We easily walked to all the music, food, and atmosphere we felt like taking in. And it was pretty easy to work out public transport options, too (the excellent wifi will help you plan everything, too!).

Fiona is a great host and a fine ambassador for the neighborhood (which we would happily have wandered around even more for the State Cemetery, French Legation, groovy bars, good food, and generally chilled out vibe). So if you want to hang out amongst all the action OR do the complete opposite and retreat from the world, this place will work for you.

"
141550,2186056,2012-09-03,3391214,Amanda,"Unfortunately we did not get in until very late, but the place lives up to the pictures completely!!! It was very clean and comfortable, and so cute! I already want to come back and stay longer to more fully enjoy it!! I highly recommend this cottage! Thanks Fiona!"
141550,2200945,2012-09-04,1783409,Morna,"My husband and I had a lovely evening in the cottage, so cozy and colorful.  We really enjoyed how creative and artisitic the place was set up and felt very comfortable and relaxed while we were there.  Thanks Fiona!"
141550,2242826,2012-09-09,35413,Paul,Using the cottage was great. It is so unique and colorful....a very neat space. Fiona was an exceptional host and I would stay there again in a heatbeat. 
141550,2258825,2012-09-10,304514,Fayza,"What a cute little space in one of Austin's hip and upcoming neighborhoods! The location was central to everything I wanted to do (without having to deal with any of that 6th Street nonsense), the little cottage is cute cute cute, and Fiona is a great, flexible host. If you're looking for something unique in Austin, this is it!"
141550,2318858,2012-09-17,1439593,Michael,"Exactly as advertised, a comfy place in a fun location for a fair price.

Fiona made sure the place was clean and fully prepped for my arrival.  She was even nice enough to mail a shirt I accidentally left behind!

Thanks Fiona!"
141550,2535928,2012-10-08,2796131,Alice,"I got married on Austin's eastside and we stayed in fiona's little cottage on our wedding night. It was clean and cozy and romantic. Fiona knew our occasion and even went out of her way to leave us chocolates, champagne and there were rose pedals leading from the door to the bed. It was so lovely."
141550,2685074,2012-10-22,178518,Iris,"Fiona's place was great, really cute and creative, just as advertised. She was also really friendly and great to book with, though we didn't get to meet her personally since she was out of town. I loved the house and the neighborhood - it's been one of my favorite Airbnb experiences. We were tired of the SoCo experience in Austin, and I much prefer the area the cottage is in. The tacqueria down and across the street is good for a cheap, hot breakfast, plus you're near all the great spots in Austin. We paddleboarded on the lake, caught a concert, ate good food and just generally hung out and had a great time. Definitely want to come back. "
141550,2738352,2012-10-28,3699840,Casey,"Fiona's cottage was excellent! We loved staying there, and our host was incredibly helpful in recommending things to see and do around town.  Everything she suggested was right up our alley, and made our vacation all the better.  We would absolutely recommend staying here."
141550,2868928,2012-11-12,4009901,Katie,"Easy breezy. Fiona was super accommodating, the cottage was clean and adorable, and we had no problems whatsoever. Like others said, the bathroom does only have a curtain and is right next to the bed... but if you go with someone you are super close with, this shouldn't be an issue. Also, it is true what they say, the parking out front is incredibly easy, and not something to worry about at all. 
We didn't meet Fiona while we were there, but she made it super easy to get in and out... and also didn't bug us about a check out time, which was helpful the day after a rowdy wedding ;-)."
141550,2953666,2012-11-24,2151878,Cher Sugar Bear,"The perfect place to be if you're looking for an Austin spot that's central to all the downtown happenings. Fiona was super accommodating & the place is just so irresistibly cute, you will want to stay longer!"
141550,3124273,2012-12-20,3856281,Aneel,"We had a great stay! This is a really nice cottage, in a good location. Fiona was very helpful with recommendations for places to go nearby."
141550,3477932,2013-02-04,3634271,Amber,"Fiona was a great host, and the little cottage is straight-up adorable. I'm still newish to this Airbnb business, so I showed up on the wrong doorstep (Fiona's home rather than the adjacent cottage), and she was more than gracious about it, walking me over to show me how to use some appliances and such. She also gave me great input on places to eat in the area. The location is fantastic, too. I headed out for a walk to one of the recommended restaurants and ended up spending the day tooling around downtown on foot. I really didn't appreciate how close this east-side spot was to everything. The state Capitol is about two miles away. The only hitch with the location is that my online maps had a little trouble finding it, and so did the cab driver who came to pick me up for the airport. I think GPS really wants to put you on the next street over, so it's something to keep in mind. Also, I stayed here solo -- totally perfect and half the price of the Sheraton would've been -- but if I'd been with someone other than my husband, the bathroom might have been too close to the bed to feel comfy. That said, the bathroom is one of the coolest-looking parts of the place. All in all, it's a perfect little spot to have your own kitchen in an interesting part of town rather than a stale hotel room. Definitely recommend. "
141550,3567636,2013-02-18,1567536,Cari,We had a great time during our stay in Austin! The cottage was super cute and close to downtown. Many restaurants were within walking distance. The cottage was easy to find and very quiet at night so we got plenty of rest. All in all it's a great place and a great value! 
141550,3590966,2013-02-19,807262,Karley,"Fiona was an awesome host!! Her home was super cute and you can't beat the location! A real easy drive to where we wanted to be and right around the corner from one of my favorite Cafe's in Austin--Cenote. Definitely a bonus. ;)  If you're going to be in the area, I'd definitely recommend Fiona's. She's really down to earth and will make sure you're well taken care of without being all up in your face about it. :) :)"
141550,3686895,2013-03-04,197596,Sam,This is the perfect little cottage on the east side. Very easy to find and close to tons of things to do. I would highly suggest staying here. The place was so cute and was the perfect was to enjoy Austin.
141550,3728994,2013-03-09,867037,Deon,"I travel a lot for work. I was looking for a local Austin experience.  When I arrived Fiona had some Lone Stars in the fridge and hearing my back was sore she brought over a rolling pad. Nice touch! Fiona was super friendly, knowledgeable and hospitable. The place was a easy walk to the heart of sixth street and there is a cool local spot near by with good live music. The cottage was perfect!!!
I will definitely be staying here next year if its open. Great place!!!
Thanks,
Fiona "
141550,3770570,2013-03-13,732918,Hunter,"Excellent place in Austin. 
Stayed here for SXSW, and everything went well. 
About a 10 minute walk to downtown. 
The cottage was clean and recently renovated and had no problems. Fiona is quite nice and helpful about anything you need -I would stay here again."
141550,3813261,2013-03-18,4256144,Liz,"I came here for SXSW and it was the perfect little place and location for me!  I used to live in Austin so I knew the area really well and was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go.  Fiona was very nice and welcoming, and the space she made is so lovely!  I highly recommend it for a solo traveler, close couple or best friends.  (The bathroom has no door, just curtain)  I would definitely stay here again!"
141550,3952255,2013-03-30,5422132,Joy,"The personality of Fiona's cottage is very fun. We enjoyed being able to walk from the cottage downtown along the river, though we did not feel very safe walking directly back to the cottage from downtown at night. Walking 15 minutes to Rainey Street, a fun bar district, was very worth it. 
We were disappointed with the level of cleanliness in the cottage, such as unemptied trash cans and a dirty floor. There was also some confusion about how to get into the cottage when we arrived, and Fiona was not available when we first arrived.   
The setup of the bathroom with a curtain for a door is also some thing that visitors need to consider. I really wished that I had more privacy than that! "
141550,3987728,2013-04-01,5545852,Hannah,"Such a fun, cheerful little cottage!  We could tell a lot of creative effort had gone into the decor.  Lovely.  The lake is just a short walk away, and if you walk past the I35 bridge on the path, you can find cheap kayak rentals (and other random water vessels).  Fiona and Brian were very friendly, and helpful with suggestions.  Definitely recommended.  (We were too lazy to do the full walk to 6th street, so we drove halfway and parked for free.  Too easy.) "
141550,4077718,2013-04-08,5271009,Brigitte,"perfectly located cottage to downtown...enjoyed our short weekend visit to Austin.
Thanks Fiona!"
141550,4813743,2013-05-27,2394546,Amanda,We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fiona's east side cottage. It was the perfect place for us to use as a home base while we met up with old friends around town. It's in a quiet little neighborhood really close to downtown and all your east side favorites. I am an Austin native and would highly recommend staying here to get an authentic feel for the city. Thank you Fiona for sharing the cottage with us and look forward to staying here next time were in town! 
141550,4961356,2013-06-04,5003504,Christina,"Fiona's cottage was absolutely awesome and so charming. Fiona and her partner were also super nice. We arrived and the cottage was  clean and comfy and there were even some beers in the fridge. The shower had a great Rainbath-ish shower head. The AC was cold and the room stayed dark enough to comfortably sleep it off after a night of partying. Which makes this place even cooler, because my boyfriend and I could walk to downtown in 15-20 minutes or so. This was my first time using Airbnb and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for ruling!"
141550,5060435,2013-06-10,3667100,Blaire,"Fiona's place was perfectly sized for one, with ample living area and closet space, and comfortable air conditioning and window shades to keep everything cool during the day. There wasn't a hair dryer available at first, but Fiona brought one over right away when I inquired, which was great. The bed is a wee bit short if you're tall, but still very comfortable to sleep on.

I was easily able to park right out front for easy car access, or stroll through the neighborhood to get downtown/further explore the east side on foot. Overall, a great little place, and a wonderful weekend in Austin!"
141550,5172533,2013-06-16,5210096,Vincent,"Had a great stay . Place was perfect for our stay in Austin. 
Fiona was really nice and had great recommendations of places to go . 
I would definitely recommend it ."
141550,5301080,2013-06-23,6817497,Jonah,"Fiona was a great host, the place was awesome! Soooo close to downtown, literally a five minute bikeride to the Belmont Theater! We had an awesome stay in this cottage and highly recommend it to others! Thanks Fiona!"
141550,5336216,2013-06-24,850585,Zeina,Adorable little spot on the East side. I usually go out in East Austin so this location was perfect for me. Fiona was helpful and recommended some places to go. Would definitely stay here again.
141550,5627784,2013-07-08,1821807,Mike And Crystal,"My wife and I stayed here for our second anniversary, and loved it! The house is cozy, and Fiona was very nice and helpful. We would stay again, and I definitely recommend it."
141550,6834594,2013-08-26,4496717,Bryan,"If I could add another star I would.
Fiona was incredibly easy to contact and quick to respond; although, everything was set-up so nicely that the need to contact her after I arrived was non-existent. This was bay far the best Airbnb experience I have had.

The cottage was fantastic: Great location, super cute and clean, and well appointed. I was so charmed by the place that I'm pretty sure I spent about 15 minutes just looking at all the fun little touches that she put everywhere.

Highly recommend if you want Austin the way that Austin was meant to be had. I will, without doubt, be staying there again."
141550,7383664,2013-09-17,16761839,James,"Fiona was a great host- very easy to communicate with and accommodating.  Left tips of excellent places to visit, and the space is in a cool part of town. She graciously extended our stay at the last minute which was awesome. I would definitely recommend this space to anyone who is coming to Austin!"
141550,7516804,2013-09-23,3280602,Brendan,"Fiona's house is clean, spacious, cozy and in a quaint East Austin neighborhood near the east 6th street strip of restaurants, food trucks, shops and bars.  The cottage is also really close to the river if you're looking to walk or bike along the tree-lined trail. She's a great host and has plenty of recommendations for what to do in town."
141550,7710750,2013-09-30,1873473,Dana,Perfect spot.  We came in on a Friday and everything was as she promised. The cabin is small but perfect. It was clean and in the perfect spot for everything.  2 minutes to downtown. And walking distance to ALL the east 6th street bars and restaurants.  I would totally recommend staying here to anyone. Austin is a funky place and this cabin fits in perfectly!!  
141550,8037481,2013-10-14,6388742,Laura,"Loved the character, lay-out and location of this cottage. And Fiona was a most excellent and helpful hostess. She seems to genuinely care that you are enjoying her place and whatever brought you to Austin. "
141550,8259398,2013-10-22,9035575,Carly,"We were in town for a BMX contest. This place was great! It was in the perfect location--close to downtown, famous food trucks, running trails along the river. It was small but comfortable and so cool. Renting bikes would be a fantastic way to get around. Its in a great, quiet neighborhood. Fiona made this place glow! Thanks for the great experience, Fiona. "
141550,8356856,2013-10-27,2101327,Michael,Fiona's place is exactly what I was expecting in the neighborhood I wanted to be in.  Definitely good value.  
141550,8656536,2013-11-11,8740591,Ryan,We had a great stay in a great area. The house is within easy walking distance of Town Lake Trail and some great places on the east side. 
141550,8811293,2013-11-19,2666887,Hannah,"Fiona was such an amazing host - great communication before and during our stay + lots of awesome recommendations. We stayed here for F1 and couldn't have picked a better location - there was a bus stop at the end of the street that took us straight downtown - SUPER convenient. Lots of great bars within walking distance (Weather Up, Whisler's, etc.) and an amazing po'boy spot only one block away. Though the house is technically a ""studio"", the layout made it feel like there were several small rooms. We didn't use the kitchen but it was well-equipped and had lots of counter space. Hope to return to Austin soon and would definitely stay here again!"
141550,9559617,2014-01-02,6512509,Chelsea,"Cottage was more adorable than imagined. Great use of space--cozy and comfortable. A mere hop down the street to East 6th bars and restaurants. This was my first introduction to AirBnB and assuming other hosts are 1/16 of what Fiona provided, I'll never stay in a hotel again!"
141550,10155978,2014-02-03,4161769,Sean,Cottage was super cute. Fiona helped us find our way around and was very helpful. Hopefully we'll see her again.
141550,10537482,2014-02-24,11492118,Theresa,"Fiona was a great host, and the house was adorable! Definitely very cozy and welcoming!"
141550,10685283,2014-03-03,2168770,Janet,"The private apartment is cozy and perfect for travellers. It was clean, comfortable and inviting.
My only gripe was how slow the internet was. I didn't mind having no television, but even accessing my email was painfully slow. For that reason alone, we wouldn't return. However, if you don't care for the internet, then the place is a gem."
141550,10917229,2014-03-13,2293866,Jeanette,I would highly recommend Fiona's place.  The apt is really cute and has everything you need.  The kitchen is well equipped and the bed is very comfortable.  The location is really convenient and a short bike ride away from downtown.  There are a couple of great taco places nearby.  Fiona was extremely helpful whenever we needed anything!
141550,10977576,2014-03-16,11338657,Zac,Great setup! Thanks!
141550,11027168,2014-03-17,12795914,Quyen,"Stayed at Fiona's cottage for a quick overnight stay during sx. Fiona was very easy to communicate with via text and email and quick to respond. Her place was clean, comfortable, and so cute!.. and close to many popular east side bars and restaurants. My only wish is that I could have stayed longer!"
141550,11214661,2014-03-25,10440094,Maya,This studio was just that - sweet and sexy! Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. Fiona did a great job communicating with us throughout the trip. The location is great too! We walked to 6th street with no problems and it is only a short drive/bike ride from downtown. And -- $1 breakfast tacos down the street!! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin!
141550,11357017,2014-03-31,12486483,Davida,"Great funky artistic beautifully decorated cottage. Fantastic location. We rented bikes only, no car needed. We easily biked everywhere we wanted to go. Great weekend. Can't wait to return and would definitely stay here again. "
141550,11549879,2014-04-07,11540579,Kelsey,"I had a great stay here! The room was cozy, quiet and convenient. I stayed here alone, had no trouble with the internet. "
141550,11754039,2014-04-14,9653595,Ben,"Depends on what you're looking for when you come to Austin, but if you want to stay in a place with lot's of character that's clean and quite and near the river you really can't beat Fiona's spot. She was very friendly and helpful. You can't argue with the price for such a cool spot. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin. Also her place is near public transpo and it was easy to call a cab. Do yourself a favor and check out this spot. "
141550,12276042,2014-04-28,11569714,Eric,The cottage was even better in person than the website made it appear! Very cozy and quaint and it had everything we needed for our quick weekend stay in Austin. Fiona came by shortly after we checked in and made sure we had everything and couldn't have been a more gracious host. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity!
141550,12624221,2014-05-06,132774,Alex,Awesome location! Very close to all the fun on 6th street. Fiona was super responsive and very accommodating. Had a great weekend here.
141550,12840170,2014-05-12,14143412,Patricia,"We ran into Fiona briefly at night, she was very  nice. "
141550,13760642,2014-06-03,13222973,Matthew,"beautiful space, spotless and excellent location - truth in advertising! fiona was super communicative at booking and right before check-in. she was very flexible since we were running later. "
141550,14722881,2014-06-24,2134386,Ashley,"The cottage was adorable, very well kept, and artistically decorated. The neighborhood seemed safe. I walked at night from downtown back to the cottage a few times and never had any issues. The host was also very helpful and hospitable."
141550,15235763,2014-07-05,17176068,Chiderah,"This place was everything it promised to be. Very clean, a short walk to 6th street and the fun of South Congress, but most of all Fiona was GREAT! Incredibly communicative and very accommodating.

I highly recommend!"
141550,15776288,2014-07-15,6287820,Tim,"The cottage was really great for my weekend in Austin. Great part of town and a easy walk to some great spots on the East side and an easy bike ride to most anywhere in Austin.

Check in was super easy and convenient, the cottage is a cute space with every amenity one would need, and has a great front porch to hang if weather permits.

It was plenty of room for just me and would be perfect for a couple to getaway for a weekend to an epic city in a fun part of town. Many thanks to Fiona for accommodating me!"
141550,16497102,2014-07-28,5001862,Jake,"Fiona's studio was absolutely fantastic in every way. The location was exactly what my girlfriend and I were looking for - close to many of Austin's hot spots yet private, comfortable and homey. We rented bikes and cruised down the streets of her cool neighborhood to get to Rainey St, where we enjoyed several adult beverages and had an easy trip back to the studio. Great coffee houses and breakfast taco joints nearby as well. The cottage itself was clean and welcoming, with beer in the fridge and wonderful ornate details throughout. Fiona is kind, quick to respond to any messages, and made sure she could accommodate our schedule. We would (and will) recommend this studio to all of our friends that visit Austin."
141550,16815471,2014-08-02,2391812,Grant,"A very lovely comfortable cottage. Easy to walk to restaurants and bars, and easily connected to downtown. The host was extraordinarily accommodating, having booked less than 24h in advance."
141550,18850720,2014-09-01,8428300,Stephanie,"We loved our stay at Fiona's place over the Labor Day weekend!  We found that access to this home from the airport was super easy and the location is close to the downtown area.  Fiona had everything ready for us upon arrival, including beer in the fridge!  The place is very artsy in feel, which is perfectly suited to the artsy vibe of the city and adds a special flavor to the whole experience.  I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!"
141550,19942286,2014-09-21,19751755,Adam,"Fiona was a superb host, excellent communicator and very accommodating to my check-in and our requests. She also gives great hugs! The studio is of a 4 star hotel standard, very spacious, gorgeously decorated, immaculately clean and in the best part of Austin-town. Plenty of good food and drink options nearby and Fiona is more than happy to give you a list as long as your arm of places to visit so take advantage of her old-school Austin savviness. She even gave me some excellent tattoo advice. "
141550,20813548,2014-10-06,16918792,Bonnie,"Such a cute studio apartment conveniently located in East Austin. Very artistic, clean and comfortable. Fiona was a fantastic hostess. Fiona had a ton of restaurant and bar reccomendations (all we tried were great).We asked for a swimming hole and she pointed out one of the coolest spots I have been to (Krause Springs) and handed us a beach bag with towels and sunscreen for the trip."
141550,21193205,2014-10-13,15397398,Stacy,Fiona was a great host. She picked us up from the airport and gave us directions and recommendations on where to go. She also took us downtown one of the days. The cottage was perfect and adorable. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or a better host
141550,21479572,2014-10-18,21897701,Judith,"I stayed here during a recent visit to Austin, loved the location near Rainey and Congress streets."
141550,21589837,2014-10-20,20358423,Rose,"This stay was my first experience with Airbnb.  I was very excited about testing out an alternative to a hotel/motel stay.  I could tell by the information that the studio was very artsy and that made the location sound interesting.  We arrived late and went to dinner before checking in to the studio.  Once we arrived we searched for light switches and found a cockroach on the kitchen counter.  Naturally he scurried away so we moved some items on the counter to find three roaches.  We squished each of them with a shoe.  We did not have any experience with these critters so we did some research.  Turns out they can live for some time (days) once they have lost body parts so we flushed them down the toilet.  Also, they come into houses in the search for water.  Every time we used a shower or sink we patted them dry and closed the drain.   Before the end of our trip we spotted another roach and it got away.  Must say it was hard to sleep not knowing how many of them were in the house.  Once we locked the place up for the last time, I notified the owner of our departure and the roach problem.  She made it clear she was aware of the issue and was doing to have to pick another method for removing the roaches.  This is not what I wanted to hear.  Granted, I appreciate the honesty.  I just would have hoped she wouldn’t rent the place unless the issue was fixed.  Overall disappointment due to lack of sleep."
141550,22290829,2014-11-03,1665407,Carrina,"Fiona was a great hostess and contacted me immediately upon receiving my booking request.  She provided helpful information about things to see and do in Austin as well as information about road closures resulting from the Formula 1 event that was in town that weekend.  Fiona made sure we had the wifi password before we arrived and also made it easy to check-in and out especially given that our inbound flight arrived late and our outbound flight was early in the morning.  The studio is a perfect for 2 people.  It's even more spacious than we anticipated.  It was clean and comfortable with ample street parking.  Though we didn't have much opportunity to use it, the kitchen was well-equipped.  Overall, a very pleasant experience and one of our favorite Air BnB locations in Austin!"
141550,22836779,2014-11-16,1595903,Tracy,"We were very pleased with our stay. We felt welcomed by Fiona.  She was accommodating and thought ahead about keeping us warm with the arriving chilly weather.  The studio was sweet, cozy and had a good energy.  Location was good, short walk/ride to downtown and easy to and from the airport.  "
141550,24631937,2014-12-31,25243256,Sofia,"Very artsy and adorable studio. Just like described. Fiona accommodated last minute and gave many great ideas for dinner, drinks and music. Can't wait to return and make our way through that long thoughtful list!!! Thanks Fiona for your hospitality. "
141550,24666619,2015-01-01,15396846,DeAnna,We had an excellent time staying here. We only stayed for one night and everything was exactly as I pictured it from the descriptions. It was very cozy and comfortable. We also loved the location because we were able to walk to the East Side bars. Overall it was a very pleasant stay. 
141550,25031499,2015-01-05,24132815,Arne,"This sweet little ""in-law"" is perfectly located in a great part of the city. The decor is whimsically inviting and colorful. We stayed during a cold snap, and extra heating options were in place. The wifi was out for a couple of days, caused by some severe weather- not Fiona's fault. Location, location, location. This place has it! What a fun stay, and thanks for the beer in the fridge, Fiona! We had a wonderful stay, and hope to come back someday."
141550,25260317,2015-01-10,1506298,Julie,The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
141550,25335368,2015-01-12,9205769,Emily,"The cottage was cute and artsy as described. The neighborhood was quiet but also a bit odd. It was a pretty convenient 10 minute walk to 6th street.  There were a lot of beautiful houses and a lot of really dilapidated houses in the area. Also, there were a large amount of homeless people on our walk to/from 6th street. The house could have been more clean. The shower curtain had black mold/mildew growing on it and the bathroom had a lot of leftover shampoo bottles, etc. (I'm assuming from previous guests). The tub area just wasn't clean but the rest of the house was very tidy. Also, it was pretty cold during our stay and the heating situation in the house was pretty poor. Fiona did leave a space heater on for us for our arrival which really helped. It was unseasonably cold so I don't think the temp would normally have been an issue. "
141550,25561853,2015-01-19,553450,Charles,"The host was great - she gave us a bunch of recommendations for things to do in the area before we got there; the stay was great, she has a lovely cottage."
141550,26010858,2015-02-01,25806634,John,"First time to use airbnb and what a pleasant nice change of pace.  We were getting tired of stale generic hotels all over the country that lack character, charm and a local attitude without having to empty the bank account.  The cottage we were lucky enough to find in East ATX was everything you see in the pictures except that bed no longer has a white iron head and base board but more modern platform type frame now.  We got to try out some new local craft beers (awesome – Austin Beerworks) that were left in the fridge.  Everything we needed was available from wine glasses to the basic kitchen stuff you might need.  Fiona was a gracious host and gave us a ton of choices for eating and “doing Austin”….was available in a good way but not like hovering which was great.  Can’t say enough about the other folks review of making the short walk down the corner (maybe 1-2 blocks) to Las Cazuelas for amazing breakfast $1.00 tacos with a nice varied salsa bar.  Street parking was no issue but this is East Austin and not some high fancy suburban neighborhood with lots of character and crazy close to downtown and 6th street.  Took Uber (which picked us up in 5 minutes – wow fast) to see a show at the Belmont which was under $13.00 so great deal all the way around.  Would definitely stay again as this was less expensive, cooler, more Austin odd like in a good way, convenient and the way to stay in Austin."
141550,26510855,2015-02-14,2743264,Salome,Very easy check in--Fiona was flexible with the timing. The cottage was beautiful and just what we needed for a short getaway.
141550,26524805,2015-02-15,25243469,Luke,House was as described and was excellent. Fiona also gave a great recommendation on where to get brunch the next day. Would definitely recommend. 
141550,27231585,2015-02-28,28065738,Antonio,The place was just perfect. Fiona was an excellent hostess and I definitely recommend this place to anyone 
141550,29151461,2015-04-04,9293444,Kat,"We loved the privacy of Fiona's little bungalow.  It was cozy and perfect for a night or extended stay in Austin, thanks to the kitchen area.  My husband and I have already discussed this as being our go-to spot next time we're in Austin.  We got a cab back to the studio from 6th St. and paid under $10.   

Fiona was able to tell us more about the spot we had planned to visit for dinner which was quite helpful.  In the morning, we saw her leaving while on our way out.  She said it was no problem for us to get breakfast and come back to the space (it was before 10 a.m.)  Although we didn't return, it was nice to have the option.  Highly recommend this location!"
141550,29243899,2015-04-05,11805722,Charles,"The place was exactly as advertised.
Great spot just minutes from downtown. Fiona was easy to communicate with."
141550,29753007,2015-04-12,5944864,Molly,"Fiona's place was perfect for a short stay in Austin. Convenient to downtown and decorated with fun, creative artwork, we had a great stay. "
141550,30201525,2015-04-19,28288230,Melanie,"The location was perfect.  There is a Mexican restaurant in walking distance and it is a safe neighborhood to walk about in (per multiple uber drivers).  The cab fare to sixth street was only $5. 

However, like the other reviews,  it is dirty.  Upon arrival, there was hair in the tub, used bar soap, toothpaste, and watered down liquid soap.  The blinds and window baseboards were covered in dust.  

In our weekend we also found three cockroaches and multiple bugs.  One crawled into the suitcase and since there was no bug spray the owners trapped the bug for us.  Their excuse was that it was an ""old house in Texas"". We didn't shower.

Fiona and Brian were really nice and hospitable.  We wanted to stay at an air b&b to feel more comfortable than in a hotel but we just didn't feel that way. "
141550,30688480,2015-04-26,969882,Lindsay,"My friend and I were visiting Austin for a girl's weekend and Fiona's cottage was great overall. The location was in hip East Austin (might be too gritty for some but we loved it) with great bars and breakfast spots within blocks. There was also a bike shop within walking distance where we rented bikes. 

The place itself was spacious, had a comfortable bed, and nice neighbors. Sheets and towels provided were clean, however a few spots could have used a wipe down. If you're used to 4 star pristine hotels, this probably isn't the place for you.

Fiona was super easy to communicate with and provided a great list of suggestions. We had a great time and truly enjoyed our stay!"
141550,31190507,2015-05-03,29395617,Jennifer,We had a great time in Austin and it was nice to know we had a cool place to come back to at the end of our nights. The place was decorated awesome and had all that we needed. Thanks Fiona!
141550,31886684,2015-05-11,27060786,Jessica,"Fiona was fantastic. Very welcoming and had great suggestions for places to eat/ drink. The house is in a great neighborhood, close for walking or a very short Uber ride. Would certainly recommend."
141550,33690889,2015-05-31,2761011,Keiko,"Fiona was very responsive, friendly and helpful. We exchanged several emails to coordinate picking up house keys and check in, check out time. She also provided great tips on local restaurants and places of interest. 

Her place was really unique and cozy. I didn't mind that the bathroom didn't have a door (it had a thick curtain), and the bed was super comfortable. She has an A/C unit and ceiling fans so we stayed cool indoors in the otherwise hot and humid Austin summer. Lots of great bars and food trucks all within a 10 minute walk and really easy to call an Uber so you don't even need a car to stay here. "
141550,35639376,2015-06-21,28928850,Scott,"Fiona was a great host, providing plenty of helpful tips on where to go and what to check out. The apartment was exactly as displayed in the photos, and was very clean and felt like home. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here at all - it was a great space that felt relaxing to wake up in and to come home to."
141550,36423719,2015-06-28,33737436,Jason,Fiona greeted us upon our arrival and happily provided us with several suggestions for exploring Austin as it was our first time.  The cottage was just as described - perfectly suited for my wife and I. We loved the location in East Austin - a 15 minute walk to Ravine Street and very close to the running/hiking trails. Would highly recommend!
141550,37358825,2015-07-06,4893775,Ronan,"We had a fantastic weekend in Austin! Location of the cottage was ideal for seeing the real side of Austin, it was clean, cosy and very comfortable. Nearly every place we ate, drank and visited Fiona had recommended and they did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend this spot for a stay in Austin!"
141550,37936743,2015-07-11,10863968,Mark,"Fiona was extremely helpful leading up to my stay. I reserved the cottage on short notice (within a day of my arrival), but she was prepared to give me the lay of the land. I took her up on some of her suggestions, and went where the locals go. Good times!

The studio is as described, but I really only used it to sleep and shower. The night was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the shower was hot. I was bid farewell by a kitten upon my departure. 

I'll look for her listing next time I'm in Austin!"
141550,37965622,2015-07-12,974258,Kaitlin,This little house was perfect for a little weekend get away!! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed it. 
141550,38907087,2015-07-19,4943398,Ileana,"Our stay at Fiona's cottage was absolutely perfect! I fell in love with the purple cottage, the multi-colored walls, the gorgeous bathroom with beautiful light and pebble floors. Its a perfect sized studio and was cozy and artsy and perfect for my boyfriend and I's weekend getaway. There's also a little front porch area with a table and a chair, perfect for reading outdoors. I would honestly love to live there if I lived in Austin, it's that great!"
141550,39577223,2015-07-24,30982367,Craig,"Fiona was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to my schedule.

The home was extremely clean and everything was in it's place. There is plenty of space inside. It's bright and colorful, which made it a more fun place to stay. Adequate cooling and the water pressure was good for showers."
141550,40549031,2015-07-31,31011936,Rich,What a great place this was.  Inside was built with quality and creativity.  Fiona made sure everything was taken care of (even had chilled water and a french press available!)  Very nice way to end my week in Austin.  
141550,40740600,2015-08-02,29129540,Rhonda,Cottage was very nice. Clean and comfortable. Austin is hot. A/c and ceiling fans awesome. Host is very accommodating and provides awesome local tips. Would definitely stay here again. 
141550,41053558,2015-08-03,21376132,Michael,"Wonderful host! Great place, very clean, excellent decor. Comfortable, clean sleeping arrangements.. Host was very very accommodating. The location in East Austin was perfect. Highly recommend."
141550,41810020,2015-08-09,37626009,Daniel,Very nice little cottage. Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Had a great time on the trip and the host was very helpful and full of good suggestions for things to do in austin. Would definatly stay here again. 
141550,41926705,2015-08-10,26384240,Tamara,"Such a beautiful place to stay- awesome location (close to grocery store, downtown & easy access to capitol and 6th), lots of great eateries around. Fiona is amazing to deal with- great communication and super helpful and accommodating. Would recommend 100%!"
141550,42502048,2015-08-13,8621358,Paul,The place was perfect to explore Austin for a day. Fiona was super helpful and sent great suggestions on what to do. Would definitely come again if I'm back in Austin.
141550,42909945,2015-08-16,17126943,Carrina,The best. Quick to respond. Easy to get in and out of the space. The house was beautiful and homey and wonderful. Go there . I will def. be back on my next trip!
141550,43173957,2015-08-17,24500155,Alexis,"This place is adorable! Clean, funky and fun:) Prime location down the street from Austin hot spots and so close to festival beach as well! Fiona and Casper were absolutely wonderful, incredibly accommodating and so sweet! I will be staying here again  both for a girly weekend and a romantic night with the hubby! Thanks Fiona"
141550,43344114,2015-08-18,7971825,Elizabeth,"Fiona was patient with my multiple emails! Her check-in time was flexible, which helps when there's a flat tire involved."
141550,44191115,2015-08-24,40522784,Christine,"Everything in Fiona's listing was accurate (except she didn't mention the awesome porch kitty visitors, that was a happy surprise!) and she was great to communicate with before during and after my stay. Comfortable stay in a convenient location, would highly recommend!"
141550,44960637,2015-08-30,26543562,Diego,Fiona was quick to respond to inquiries and flexible with my schedule. She made our stay painless and enjoyable.
141550,46598688,2015-09-12,15782199,Augustus,"Fiona's place was the perfect stay. The house was separate and cozy, with beautiful art decorating the walls. Fiona was very accommodating and a wonderful host. The house is close to much of the great food and fun in the area. The location made it very easy to move around. Fiona also gave us a long list of recommendations that were some of the best parts of our trip. We loved it and would recommend it to all."
141550,47070579,2015-09-15,8269204,Tim,"Great location, comfortable home, good communication with owner. If you are a neat freak, I would not recommend this place for you. That being said, I would stay here again in a heart beat. Thanks for the great stay."
141550,50058616,2015-10-08,45960780,Andrew,As previous reviewers said. Great little place in Austin. Having a fridge and kitchen was a great benefit over a hotel. If you are a neat freak it's not for you. I had no issues and would stay there again. Super hot water and enough of it. Host was super accommodating and was able to get me in early and on really short notice. Neighborhood is upcoming but not fully there yet. You aren't around a lot of amenities but that makes it quiet too. Use uber and it will cost you 5-6 bucks to get to the touristy stuff. 
141550,50431378,2015-10-12,7526963,Alexandra,"Staying in Fiona's cottage was wonderful. The cottage itself is perfect and has so much personality. Fiona provides recommendations for everything, from an incredible place to have brunch to a guide to local events. We felt like we got to see the real ""weird Austin"" because we weren't holed up in a standard hotel in downtown Austin. There is a small market & breakfast taco spot within walking distance where we got snacks & anything we needed for the stay. An uber downtown was around $6, and we did the whole stay without a car from Fiona's place. Thanks for everything and we would love to stay here again next time we are in Austin."
141550,51014041,2015-10-17,17420720,Scott,"Great spot to stay. It is a large studio, so there is plenty of room to relax. The host was wonderful and very welcoming from the moment I arrived. It was very centrally located to everything I wanted to do in Austin. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone visiting the city. "
2386693,28313219,2015-03-22,346502,Gavin,"Christine was great, very flexible and accommodating. The house was awesome too - great location, very clean and neat. Would totally stay there again"
2691971,12311896,2014-04-28,3481385,Sophie,"Great house and great experience ... The private side yard was awesome after a night on the town, great way to relax and have some quiet time alone. Thanks, Kevin!"
2691971,13438454,2014-05-27,970455,Derek,"Incredible house 2 blocks from Rainey street. This is the only place I've stayed in on airbnb that is actually nicer than the photos. The house is brand new as is everything in it. Comfy beds and bathrooms. Great private outdoor space.
Kevin is very helpful should you need anything. When I come back to Austin, no other place I would stay. This house is a no brainer"
2691971,19142313,2014-09-07,10139146,Michael,Everything was tip top from beginning to end. Kevin knows what's up when it comes to Austin and entertainment...I would suggest anyone to stay at this property.
2691971,19890468,2014-09-20,19958017,Deanna,The house lived up to it's description and the owner was very accommodating. We were in town for a convention and everything seemed close and easily accesible. We would definitely stay here again. 
2691971,20815755,2014-10-06,17792072,Matthew,Awesome house and amenities. Fit our group's needs perfectly for a weekend in Austin. Easy access to Rainey Street and the trails. I would definitely stay here again. 
2691971,22292460,2014-11-03,19416654,Isaac,The house was very nice and clean. Also an excellent location. Just a few minutes from downtown.
2691971,25796944,2015-01-26,1324410,E,The house was very nice!
2691971,26605428,2015-02-16,6657781,New,"Kevin was great! The house looked even better than the pictures presented. The location is convenient, with everything being in walking distance. We had a large group (nine!) but we never felt crowded. It has a very open layout, with lots of light. I highly recommend."
2691971,26787699,2015-02-19,5443818,Emily,"I booked the Modern Farmhouse for three colleagues and myself to stay in when our distributed team met in Austin. The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable; it's also in a great location, easily walkable to lots of great places in East Austin (and Rainey Street).

For corporate groups, I'd recommend considering the house a 3 bedroom/3 bathroom, as the sleeping loft doesn't have its own door, and requires walking down two flights of stairs to the first floor hall bathroom. For families or groups of friends, the sleeping loft is a great space, though! The bedrooms and bathrooms are all gorgeous.

Kevin was easy to communicate with, and we had a great stay."
2691971,27255248,2015-03-01,10902387,Nick,"Nice home. Convenient to walking to Rainey Street, and just a short drive to the airport. Slept 8 comfortably. We would definitely come back. Kevin was friendly and a nice gift bag was waiting for us with some nuts and bbq seasonings.

No fault of the host, but this part of Austin has terrible tasting water and poor water pressure. Definitely pick up some bottled water, downstairs shower was much better than 2nd floor."
2691971,27804859,2015-03-12,8564956,Jillian,"I would definitely recommend this place! It's absolutely gorgeous, has plenty of space, and is spotlessly clean. Kevin was very helpful and immediately responsive. It's a cool neighborhood with a lot of character and fantastic local restaurants. "
2691971,28073553,2015-03-17,834483,Dorothy,"Kevin made us feel incredibly welcome. Not only is his home gorgeous but it was well stocked with linens + little extras like shampoo and soap. When we had questions about anything he got back to us immediately. The backyard was lovely for hanging out in, and the WiFi even reached out there meaning we could do work with a cup of coffee in the morning while enjoying the weather. 

For context: we were a group of 7 coworkers and never felt cramped. The air mattress that was provided was also one of the fanciest I have ever seen! I would highly recommend this home for a group or family."
2691971,28694793,2015-03-29,18484844,Sam,Kevin and his place were great!  We called on arrival and he was quick to answer and help us out.  The place itself was awesome--a great space with a relaxed feeling and great outdoor area to take in the Austin weather.  The house is also walkable to Rainy St with tons of great restaurants and nightlife. Everything else in downtown is just a few minutes away!  I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to meet up with a group in Austin! 
2691971,29162045,2015-04-05,12152240,Tom,"Great house - comfortable, very modern and well equipped. No problems with arrival/departure.  Nice area if a little close to a noisy road.
Guests should be aware that one of the rooms is up a steep set of stairs."
2691971,30285066,2015-04-20,2326127,Laura,"This place was gorgeous!! Lots of space, close to the action of the East Side, and Kevin was a great host. He was flexible with the check in & checkout times since no one was there prior to / after our visit. Also, the house was fully stocked -- beautiful grill, lots of dishes, towels, toiletries.. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly, and would love to stay here on our next Austin visit!"
2691971,32351064,2015-05-17,20696376,Dennis,"Wonderful experience and stay.  The house is actually larger than it looks in the pictures, we had 11 guests and felt comfortable in the space.  The outdoor area was also perfect for entertaining - not pictured in the photos online was a bbq grill which came in handy over the course of the weekend.  The place was clean, well stocked with toiletries etc. and Kevin was also able to provide us with some airbeds.  I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Kevin but he was very responsive over text / e-mail which was perfect.  House is in close proximity (5-10 min walk) to Rainey Street which is full of restaurants and bars.  Overall, great experience and would definitely recommend it for larger groups."
2691971,43797715,2015-08-22,38487219,Dan,"I really liked this home and it was a treat to stay there. It was clean and well appointed, and Kevin and Laura were a delight. She really went the extra mile for us in receiving packages before our arrival. 

As for the neighborhood, I booked this house thinking our employees could walk to the convention center, but found myself taking Uber every time. The neighborhood was quiet, except for the early morning construction across the street. I would not hesitate to stay here again and will likely before the end of the year. It was a great place for our team of conventioneers to bond as a team. 

Huge thanks to Kevin and Laura for taking the effort to make our stay outstanding. :-)"
2691971,47609265,2015-09-21,4605294,Mike,"Wow, what a beautiful and open space! The house is centrally located off the 35 and close to downtown as well as the super fun east side. It has a large outdoor area, perfect for mellow wine nights but the bedrooms and Fatboy bean bags are so comfy that it's hard to wake up from afternoon naps. Communicating with Kevin was super easy. Would love to entertain at this property again. "
5359587,28976544,2015-04-01,21385164,Ricky Ricardo,"Martha was an excellent host. The neighborhood is chill & the futon was crazy comfty. Would for sure stay again, couldn't have been happier."
5359587,29238093,2015-04-05,29760297,Brent,"The description was accurate, the house was easy to find and out of the way in a nice residential area. The hose has a pretty puppy who is concerned about protecting his mama, but this was only a mild distraction and not a concern at all. The pup didn't make any noise at bed time, and was genuinely just looking out for Martha. Cute. 
The sleeping arrangement was simple - a comfy futon in a relatively empty room. Not the Ritz-Carlton, but perfect for someone who just needed to crash for the evening or a couple of days. And Martha had a great personality and seems well suited to hosting guests!"
5359587,31199103,2015-05-03,9288392,Katie,Martha was a perfect host.   The room that I stayed in was great and I was able to get a good night's sleep before  my Triathlon.   I am coming back to the Tri next year and hope that she will still have room. 
5359587,31905807,2015-05-11,5920046,David,"Martha was a friendly host who made me feel welcome in her home. She was fine with my odd hours (very late arrival and out half the night the other days I was there). The accommodations were basic but comfortable. The location on Austin's east side was a convenient drive from the airport as well as the music festival I attended. Overall, a nice place to stay!"
5359587,32437443,2015-05-17,24454832,Wiebke,"Very accommodating host, simple but nice room. She was willing to host us even getting there very late at night. Her dog was a bit nervous but very well behaved."
5359587,32848994,2015-05-22,32784950,Carlos,"Martha was very welcoming. Quiet and restful nights. Nice neighborhood, a little far from everything and traffic made it worse, but nice anyway. Zuma gets a little jelous but he is cool too. "
5359587,33045860,2015-05-24,33779608,Robert Z,"Martha was a nice and respectful host who didn't intrude on our privacy. The picture of the room was accurate as well as the other reviews about her dog. He's not aggressive, just very protective of Martha. We enjoyed our stay and will use Airbnb in the furture"
5359587,34393595,2015-06-07,4868994,Derek,"Martha generously offered her place to me on extremely short notice (3 hours before arrival) when I was in a pinch.  I appreciated her willingness to get ready for my arrival after a long work day!  The place was good value, and I really enjoyed hanging/talking with Martha.  She has a rescue dog that was very frightened of me and protective (but not aggressive) of the house.  He eventually warmed up to me and it was no problem.  If you're frightened of dogs though I'd recommend finding a different spot.  "
5359587,45022059,2015-08-30,7268127,Jan," Gracious host.     Fantastic convo.
 Room was exactly as described.  Well stocked kitchen with utensils that Martha was kind enough to lend for the stay.    
 The home was clean & well connected to all major highways."
5359587,50285945,2015-10-11,40626789,Kelly,"Staying with Martha was great! Her place is very easily accessible by car, and pretty central (a fifteen minute drive to most areas).  The futon is very comfortable, and she provided cozy blankets and nice towels.  Martha offered use of her kitchen, though we didn't take her up on it, except for putting a few things in the fridge.  Her cat is very adorable and friendly!  We chatted with Martha a few times when our paths crossed, and she gave us a bunch of awesome restaurant recommendations.  All in all a very hospitable host and a nice place to stay. "
5511448,50157045,2015-10-09,30879197,Tony,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5326306,30773676,2015-04-27,9040485,Hani,Great apartment. Even better than the pictures.  Sleeps 5 comfortably but can accomadate more if you wanna squeeze it in. Great location.  Walking distance to just about everything or a cheap uber ride.  
5326306,34616850,2015-06-09,35406388,Stephen,The host canceled this reservation 120 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5326306,49317289,2015-10-03,32976280,Chris,"A hip townhome at the end of a great strip of town that needs to focus on the guts and a little less on presentation. For better or worse, like staying in an Ikea showroom that hasn't been maintained."
5326306,51260836,2015-10-19,28430029,Zoila,"This place was perfect location for everything we wanted to do for the weekend! You could easily walk to many places or Uber, which we did! We had 8 guest so we brought extra air mattresses, which there was plenty of room for. Host was very helpful with every detail needed for a smooth stay. I would definitely rent again! "
5375907,28173557,2015-03-19,1886383,Eric,"Great condo just a short 10 minutes from town. Condo is super quiet with tall ceilings (no one above you), very nice kitchen, large bedroom, very comfortable mattress. Spotlessly clean. Was great to have some breakfast items and coffee to start my day (and a great space to spend many hours working unfortunately for me). 

Check in and communication was easy, Sally made sure all was good with the stay.

Only negatives might be that there isn't a walkable cool neighborhood close, you need to drive but that's ok.

Why stay in a hotel when you have your own entire nice place like this?"
5103926,28314005,2015-03-22,4658710,Reid,"We could not have had a better experience. Chelsea was wonderfully easy to communicate with, check in/check out were stress-free. Everything in the house was as pictured/described or better. Comfy bedding, soft towels, everything was clean, plenty of toiletries and extras. She also went the extra mile and stocked the house with snacks and drinks which was such an awesomely kind thing to do. The bike provided came in super handy and had double locks for safety. The location was fantastic and there really was not a single negative! We very much enjoyed unwinding on the front porch just watching the rain after the long days and nights of SXSW. Would absolutely stay here again. "
5103926,29857195,2015-04-13,20287545,Max,"Chelsea was friendly, helpful and quickly responsive to all our needs. She was friendly and easy to work with. The house was as described, clean and spacious. We would rent this place again. Thank you Chelsea !"
5103926,31913130,2015-05-11,2696427,Max,"Amazing place, great location. Chelsea eas very nice. Def would stay back here"
5103926,33110156,2015-05-25,30936407,Melinda,"This listing was even better than the first time I looked at it because the pictures were updated. Mostly modern feel but in a vintage home. It was a fantastic location for us as it was near the UT campus (we were there for graduation) as well as close to downtown. This home was perfect for hosting a post graduation get together. We had the roomy front porch as well as living room and kitchen areas for visiting. Chelsea provided us w/a card table and chairs for the extra invitees. The beds were quite comfortable and the towels were soft. Chelsea even had a great vase in which to put my sunflowers! I would stay here again! Oh, and great places to eat or have a drink within walking distance!"
5103926,34004989,2015-06-03,31484943,Justin,"This is a wonderful house that feels bigger inside that it looks in the photos! The hosts are friendly and responded to all of our questions quickly via text message, and they made our check-in and check-out easy and painless. The house was absolutely spotless clean when we checked in, and there was plenty of convenient street parking in front so we didn't even use the back parking area. We had 5 total guests, and we never felt crowded or that we didn't have enough space in this house. The living room was a very comfortable central place for us to spend time together, and the front porch was a great place for us to sit and relax after coming home each day. The neighborhood is relatively quiet considering how close it is to downtown - I sleep with earplugs at home and didn't need to use them here, and the loudest sounds I heard were doves singing during the day and crickets chirping outside at night. I was out in the front yard on the phone until 2:00 a.m. or later a few nights, and the neighborhood seemed so peaceful considering how close and convenient it is to downtown. My hometown of Phoenix is not really walkable, and this neighborhood had so many things for us to do within easy walking distance! We walked to a record store, coffee shops, food trucks, high-end barbecue, patio bars and restaurants, and all of them were within 10-15 minutes walking distance. Between the close proximity of so much stuff to do and how nice the house felt when we were at home, I would recommend this house to anyone wanting a complete East Austin experience and will check with Chelsea first on this house's availability whenever I come back to Austin! :)

5103926,36687622,2015-06-30,8087488,Magnus,"Chelsea was a wonderful host. The house was great, a lot more spacious than the pictures show. Perfect location, with walking distance to 6th and Rainey Street. Very communicative, always responded very quickly. The house was very clean. Would love to stay here again."
5103926,37147555,2015-07-05,1103558,Bethany,"This house could not be located better - it's a short walk across the train tracks to fun restaurants, bars and food truck lots on the east side. Rainey Street, downtown, Capitol building and the six street bars are also easily walkable. The house looks even better than the pictures. I really appreciated the front porch and the big bedrooms and how clean everything was.   The bathroom is stocked with plenty of towels and extra toilet paper.  The house itself is gorgeous and on a safe street.  The house is rather new with a security system it made us feel safe. "
5103926,38064409,2015-07-12,14373946,Rene,"The home was perfect. The pictures did not do it justice. The hosts here incredible. I highly recommend this home. Great location, tons of space, and easily for all 7 of us. "

5103926,39523557,2015-07-24,19657189,Cindi And Jon,"The house was perfect. Immaculate, cute and in an awesome location. Everything we needed was available in the house. There were even treats in the the refrigerator. The neighborhood was darling. We absolutely loved Austin and can't wait to come back. When we do we would love to stay in the same house. "
5103926,40866166,2015-08-02,32683973,Maria,"The house was exactly as described, very clean and had everything we needed. We felt very much at home here and the location was perfect. "

The 2 bathrooms were very practical. 
Great location within walking distance of the charming raynee st.
Chelsea was a great host, super quick to answer to any question.
Only good things to say really!"
5103926,43599441,2015-08-21,41936988,Paula,The host canceled this reservation 55 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5103926,43778999,2015-08-22,5496866,Dave,"The house was great; location is very near the convention center. We walked most of the time, and took a 4 buck uber a few other times.  Lots of great local restaurants in the neighborhood. The price was great! Overall I would certainly recommend this house!"
5103926,45937732,2015-09-07,26595238,Alexandra,"I booked this house for my friends and I for a bachelorette party. This house was perfect! Great location and easy to get a quick Uber or Taxi to downtown (6th St). The neighborhood is nice and quiet, so we felt safe! We even walked to Rainey St. during the day on Sunday (15 minute walk).

The house was the perfect size for the 8 of us (we had 2 people on the pull-out couch).

Chelsea left her contact and wifi info in an easy to find place. Chelsea was very quick and attentive to my emails and texts. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely look into renting the house again."
5103926,47639767,2015-09-21,32168776,Georgeann,Lovely home. 
5103926,48506790,2015-09-27,4855212,Katie,"Chelsea's home is beautiful, better than the pictures. The furniture, fixtures, etc. are all very new, clean, and comfortable. It's a cozy size but comfortable for 6+ people. Though we did not meet Chelsea, it was easy to access the keys and she was helpful and responsive via text. Thank you for welcoming us into your home!"
5103926,49589927,2015-10-05,33247388,Michael,"Our stay in Austin for ACL was awesome thanks to Chelsea. The house and location were perfect, we had 6 people and had plenty of space for us all to spread out. Chelsea made the check in easy with detailed instructions and even left us some beer in the fridge as a welcome. The location of the place was great, within walking distance to Rainey St and some of the 6th st bars but a short Uber to everything. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay!"
5103926,50430368,2015-10-12,21970922,Mark,"This home is amazing! If you are staying in Austin, I highly recommend this home.  Great location, 10 minute walk to downtown/6th street, and plenty of private parking.  The host made us feel right at home.  The 3 bedrooms are very roomy and very clean.  The living room is very large and has plenty of seating. We booked this home for Austin City Limits and it was perfect!!"
5103926,51884739,2015-10-25,35708410,Andrew,"The description of the house was accurate.  It had great amenities and was comfortable.  The house was very clean.  The neighborhood is conveniently located within walking distance to many downtown sites.  We were presently surprised at the number of local spots hidden in East Austin, all within 10 minutes walk.  The immediate area did have a number of rundown houses mixed in with newer and well maintained residences.  I would be slightly concerned walking alone in the evening, especially as you walk east.  Despite parts of the neighborhood being in disrepair, I would definitely stay here again.  Additionally, I have limited knowledge of Austin neighborhoods so don't have much to compare it too.  "
5103926,52218789,2015-10-27,11894880,David,"This was a very clean and welcoming home.We were a group of 7 and had plenty of living space.
The beds were clean and comfortable, bedding very nice,towels aplenty,plush and clean.
Kitchen is well equipped.
Walking distance to a great little pizza shop and grocery.
Also within walking distance to 6th street nightlife.
Easy to find off major highway.
Chelsea was prompt with replies and easy to work with
When come to Austin again we will book here.

7679,7302,2009-08-12,25932,Theresa,"I stayed at Joep and Courtney's Austin home in August and was thrilled with the spotless accommodations. The room was large and private with a comfortable bed and a good sized bathroom. The best feature was the deck which overlooked the back yard garden. The kitchen has a sunny alcove which was the perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning and peek at the yards of neighboring homes.  
The location is amazing if you're interested in the local music scene, touring Austin's museums and finding unique places to eat out. it was a memorable experience thanks to the gracious hosts."
7679,9317,2009-09-07,33052,Alicia,Our stay with Courtney and Joep was wonderful! They are very nice and all of our needs were met. They gave us some great advice on places to eat and see. From the first night it was like staying with friends. We loved the bright breakfast room that overlooks the backyard below. Overall very charming home and gracious hosts.  
7679,14031,2009-10-18,41149,Rita,"Courtney and Joep were delightful!  The accommodations were very clean, neat, comfortable and private. Communication was great.  We had a wonderful experience and felt like we'd made 2 new friends when we left. We enjoyed coffee in the morning in their cute, bright breakfast nook, and enjoyed looking out into the pretty back yard with the veggie and herb garden. Their home is in a cool, eclectic neighborhood. They were great about recommending different places to eat and see in Austin. We had the best time ever!!"
7679,21966,2009-12-31,55181,Tom,"Sarah, Cindy, and I had an excellent time.  They were very accommodating and made us feel welcome.  I wish that I had a reason to go back to Austin so that I could stay with them again."
7679,25706,2010-02-08,30516,Barbara,"We has a wonderful stay with Joep and Courtney. They were excellent hosts, anticipating our every need, and giving us lots of info about the City and restaurants of Austin. Great place to stay whenever you're in town and centrally located to everything!"
7679,29646,2010-03-15,84929,Faye,"Joep and Courtney are lovely people with a clean, bright home. They were very friendly and hospitable, and went out of their way to make lists of area restaurants for me, along with and other nice touches. Reasonably priced morning yoga sessions with Courtney were much appreciated. Their home is a very inviting place to stay, especially if you're into eco stuff because they're very conservation-oriented and Joep is an environmental consultant. "
7679,30836,2010-03-22,87383,Chantal,"Courtney and Joep are very nice hosts. The breakfast buffet was fabulous, with everything needed, including fresh fruits and organic cereals, and a cappuccino-machine! The house is located in a quite and very green neighborhood. "
7679,32748,2010-04-01,87064,.Aurora And Jason,Needed to add an extra night with very short notice - very flexible and accommodating! We also needed to ship some things ahead of time and they worked with us on this request. 
7679,33180,2010-04-04,87064,.Aurora And Jason,Very hospitable and accommodating hosts! Attentive with accommodations and in offering information/advice about the area. Good location and quick access to the interstate.

7679,64174,2010-07-12,163293,Greg,These two were such nice hosts!  It was my girlfriend's birthday and they helped me get a cake and a gift for her!  They were so nice we are seriously considering a new life in Austin!  I highly recommend them if you need a place to stay!
7679,85774,2010-08-27,168679,Tory,"Courtney and Joep are a great couple with a great house! I really enjoyed my stay, made me feel like home with a great room/bath, just awesome!

Thanks for the hospitality!"
7679,106467,2010-09-27,229824,Janet,"Joep and Courtney were very good host.  It's a clean, safe and healthy environment.  The breakfast room was the highlight with fresh bread, teas and coffee, and local produce and a nice open room and porch on which to relax.  We would recommend this Bed & Breakfast to anyone."
7679,111673,2010-10-04,166365,Sherri,"Joep and Courtney are a delightful couple. Their peaceful and relaxed home made a weekend business trip to Austin a welcome change from the traditional hotel experience. My room and private bath were very comfortable and, while their home has convenient access to I-35, it was very quiet. "
7679,116572,2010-10-11,250518,Cynthia,Joep and Courtney were great hosts - friendly and accomodating with a comfortable space close to lots of things. We loved it!
7679,143198,2010-11-22,274338,Glyn,Staying with Joep and Courtney was such a pleasure. They were incredibly hospitable and informative and they were fantastic with our 15 month old daughter. Their home is lovely and the guest bedroom and bathroom were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin which had a lot to do with Joep and Courtney. We couldn't recommend this place enough.
7679,189988,2011-02-28,387112,Lisa,"I had a wonderful time with wonderful hosts in peaceful & relaxing surrounds. Courtney & Joep have an easy hospitality, and I highly recommend them as hosts!"

7679,208812,2011-03-25,415560,Carley,"We had a lovely stay with Joep and Courtney. They welcomed us into their home and were great company, offering many local tips on what to see and do. The room was spacious, clean and tidy. Our time in Austin was much more memorable because of Joep and Courtney. We are so glad we had the opportunity to meet such kind and gracious people during our travels. Thankyou"
7679,325813,2011-06-20,395037,Patrick,"Staying with these two wonderful people was really fantastic. The private and bathroom were very clean. 
I would highly recommend staying there!"
7679,355900,2011-07-06,424224,Lorie,"Our stay with Joep & Courtney was due to a wedding being held nearby & reception at the Barr Mansion. The location was the perfect distance between the two.  Because  of our schedule we used the place as a crash pad after a full day of events. Thanks to our hosts for everything! The space was delightful, clean, and the hosts were very engaging.  Our only problem was in the 104 degree heat of Austin, the air conditioner left the house on the warm side."
7679,695969,2011-11-06,1299040,Christy,"Courtney and Joep were wonderful hosts. The room was clean and pretty, the house was cool. "
7679,742432,2011-11-24,1323826,Royce,"Very green, very clean, very quiet.  The available breakfast was a nice plus over what I was expecting of an extra bedroom in their home.  "
7679,929842,2012-02-18,292033,Brian,"My stay was short, but great! Joep and Courtney were wonderful hosts, and their home is beautiful and very inviting. I would definitely stay there again."
7679,999088,2012-03-14,1410146,Liz,"I was warmly received by Courtney and Joep - they are laid back, friendly, flexible and knowledgeable about Austin's ins and outs. I absolutely recommend a stay at their place and would do so again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great stay!"
7679,1022468,2012-03-20,266126,Dror,"Staying with Joep and Courtney turned out be just perfect for our SXSW week. Although we did not see much of our hosts (us being on the ""night"" schedule while they kept on with their normal hours ...), we always felt that we are being cared for. The room was private, suitably furnished and with its own private bathroom just across the hall. I especially enjoyed the backyard, where I took measure of the sun each morning for a few minutes. When we did talk, we found the Meijers interesting and challenging (in the good sense ...). The location itself was close to the city (15min driving on most days) but yet quite and removed from traffic. I would recommend their place for anyone considering a stay in the Austin area."
7679,1839120,2012-07-30,2800760,Tammy,"I stayed with Courtney and Joep on my first trip to Austin (and my first airbnb experience). They have a beautiful house, and the accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Courtney and Joep were kind enough to invite me to have a couple dinners with them, and they provided breakfast as well. In addition, they were both welcoming, very interesting, and a lot of fun to talk to. I would highly recommend Courtney and Joep to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. They exceeded all my expectations!"
7679,2231328,2012-09-08,3247067,Mikayla,"This is actually the second time I have had the opportunity to stay with Courtney and Joep.   I enjoy their company, their house is located in a quiet neighborhood that is close to major roads, but not too close that a person hears traffic.  Courtney and Joep are more than willing to give suggestions as to where to go for dining or activities.  They are flexible with check in and out times and that was helpful with my schedule while I was in town. 
The best thing about their place is the hosts.  I am able to have intelligent conversations with them over meals and I leave their home with more knowledge.  I also respect and very much enjoy all the ways they have implemented an envioronmental conscientious livestyle.  They are sweet people and I plan on staying with them again next time I am in Austin. "
7679,2912596,2012-11-19,3316653,Keith,"The Meijers were great hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, and gave us very helpful information about restaurants in the area, best routes for getting around, etc. Highly Recommended."
7679,3372846,2013-01-19,4591006,David,"We had a very nice stay. Courtney and Joep were warm and friendly, and the home was pleasant and very clean. They were especially flexible with our weird arrival time. We will consider staying there again next time we need an overnight home in Austin."
7679,3771796,2013-03-13,1843856,Dan,Courtney and Joep were very nice and welcoming and their place is quiet and clean in a safe neighborhood. We stayed with them for five days and would definitely do so again.
7679,3845688,2013-03-20,4977429,Erica,"Our hosts couldn't have been more accomodating! Courtney and Joep were always willing to help with directions or recommending restaurants, etc. We stayed there during SXSW so it was nice to get out of the busy city to their quiet home. The house was clean, safe and simply furnished. The bed was comfy and the bread Joep made was delicious! We had some great conversations and had a fun time practicing yoga in the living room together. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them again for another visit or to recommend them to a friend. "
7679,4275694,2013-04-23,5612148,Sara,"My boyfriend and I visited Austin for MotoGP and to explore this new-for-us city.  We stayed with Joep and Courtney for four nights and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.  The location is great, right near the 35, yet private and quiet in a pretty neighborhood.  The best thing about this place, however, are the hosts.  Joep and Courtney are warm, ""green"" minded people and are full of helpful information about where to go and what to do.  They had delicious home made bread and nut butters available in the morning which we would enjoy before heading out on our adventures.  I didn't bring enough warm clothing (the weather was cooler than I had anticipated) and Courtney let me borrow a top so I didn't have to buy one.  A great experience all around, we will definitely stay with them again if we visit Austin!  "
7679,4696596,2013-05-20,6368243,Anna,Wonderful hosts with a very clean and comfortable home. We enjoyed the conversations we had with them and enjoyed staying with them! It was a great first air bnb experience. 
7679,8454582,2013-10-31,8146054,Elizabeth,"Very kind, hospitable and accommodating hosts. Their home is solar! Which I thought was great. They also have a pretty, private and lusciously green backyard and are situated just far enough away to be quiet, but close enough to Austin downtown to be convenient. 

A lovely stay. Thanks for having me! "
7679,8475121,2013-11-01,1796254,JoAnna,"We enjoyed our short stay with Courtney and Joep.  Their place is immaculate, the towels and sheets were like being at home.
We would definitely recommend their place to our friends and family."
7679,8791773,2013-11-18,3913465,Jennifer,"Courtney was a great host, she has a beautiful home. Our experience was great, the room was very clean and well organized. We 100% recommend Joep and Courtney for a wonderful experience."
7679,9650017,2014-01-04,10348654,Richard,"Joep and Courtney are engaging and accommodating hosts.  The room is basic, but clean, convenient and comfortable.  The house is located in a residential neighborhood.  They make great homemade bread.  If you want milk with your coffee, you'd  be best to let them know in advance.  (I like my coffee black, and it was good!)  If you get a chance to talk with them, you will find that they are articulate, informed and interesting."
7679,10484668,2014-02-21,11999295,John,I enjoyed my short stay with Joep and Courtney.  Everything was clean and especially liked having a private bath and off street parking.  The fresh bread and whipped honey hit the spot.  Would definitely stay there again.
7679,10883326,2014-03-11,12111866,Ronny,Courtney and Joep have been very nice hosts. Their support in getting along in Austin during my stay was most valuable and very helpful. Incidentally they also have the best coffee in town ;)
7679,10955096,2014-03-15,11166477,Donna,"Joep and Courtney were wonderful hosts, friendly and most accomodating!  Yummy coffee and homemade bread were available each morning, along with friendly conversation.  We so enjoyed the added bonus of getting to know Joep's sweet parents, visiting from The Netherlands. We left feeling that we had new friends, and hope to see them all again someday.  Thank you so very much, Courtney and Joep!"
7679,10986805,2014-03-16,930544,Steve,We wish we had stayed longer with Joep and Courtney. They are further along the path on what we'd like to be as future homeowners. The home is beautiful and functional. And you can pick their brain about green and clean living. The room was nothing more than a bed after enjoying SXSW but it was just what we needed.
7679,11047117,2014-03-18,10931399,Tim,I enjoyed staying with Courtney and Joep. They made me feel part of the family. Their house is in a quiet and safe part of town and the room I slept in was clean and the bed comfortable. The plumbing in the bathroom is a bit quirky but easy to master. It is advisable to have a car when staying in this part of north Austin: the house is about a mile from the nearest bus stop and it takes over an hour to get downtown by public transport. 
7679,11575193,2014-04-07,4018752,Hans & Cindy,"Our stay at Joep & Courtneys place was only a brief one (our choice!), but very agreeable nonetheless. Joep was very flexible and accommodating towards our check-in needs and a very warm & welcoming host. The house is located in a very nice and quiet part of town, and the room is very comfortable.

Because we wanted to see as much of Austin as we could in the limited time we had, we only spent a short time with Joep, but he gave us some very useful tips on restaurants (Hopdoddy's  is absolutely worth the visit) and place to go see.

When we return to Austin we'll try and stay with Joep & Courtney again for sure!

Bedankt voor de geweldige gastvrijheid!"
7679,11782161,2014-04-14,14089526,Lesley,"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay with Courtney and Joep.  They responded quickly to our reservation request, were very communicative before and after our arrival, and even spent a good deal of time talking with us and making us feel welcome.  Their house was clean and in a nice neighborhood.  We definitely recommend their place to anybody interested.  Not only did we have a safe, affordable, comfortable place to stay during our weekend trip, but we feel like we made two new friends, as well.  Thanks, Courtney and Joep!"
7679,12137175,2014-04-23,895045,Mary,"You can't get much better than the smell of fresh baked bread to welcome you into Courtney and Joep's home. For us it was a great location, less than 10 minutes from our son's place and with easy access to the sights and shopping in Austin -- that is once you get the hang of the frontage road access system for the interstate. We enjoyed conversations of common interest in gardening and environmentally conscious living. Our son is in Austin, so we'll be back and hope to be able to stay with them again. Thank you!"
7679,13106362,2014-05-19,15199967,Lisa,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Joep and Courtney: the word that comes to mind is ""serenity"".  Joep and Courtney are gracious hosts: offering healthy treats; a clean, peaceful, and rejuvenating home; and intriguing conversation.  I highly recommend their bnb!"
7679,13460692,2014-05-27,15891875,Raveendra,The aroma of fresh bread... Beautiful garden..fresh peaches .. and a warm welcome by Joep and Courtney.. comfortable bed ..clean house ..excellent host .. do u need anything else...hmmm ... It was a perfect place to stay. Me and my girlfriend had a great time in Austin. Thanks to Joep and Courtney.  
7679,13976959,2014-06-09,50419,Milton,"I only spent one night with them but still, staying with Courtney and Joep was like staying with close cousins, comfortable and easy. They were welcoming, and their place was spotless. The whole experience was very pleasant. I look forward to staying with them again, in the future."
7679,20767923,2014-10-05,21107420,Barry,Joep and Courtney are both very nice people. It felt like I was visiting someone I already knew. They were out for the evening visiting friends and I was able to get in some good reading and relax before my bicycle race early the next morning. I was a low maintenance guest but Courtney had plenty of options for anything someone might need. Their environmental friendly home is neat as well. Very clean bedroom with a comfortable bed. Your clean private bathroom is two steps across the hall. It is also only a short distance to the freeway and there was little to no noise from that direction during my stay. I was able to use a secondary driveway to park my vehicle and it was directly outside of my bedroom window. It was overall a great experience.
7679,21151520,2014-10-12,9508458,Hannah,Our experience at Joep and Courtney's was perfect! Courtney was out of town and we didn't see Joep much but we were there for a festival so were not at the house much. The room was clean and cozy and access to the bathroom was close and easy! We had a great time and really appreciate them having us!
7679,21571176,2014-10-19,22646140,Alejandro,Courtney and Joep were wonderful I wish I could have spoke with them more but they made me feel at home and comfortable. it was almost like I had the place to myself when I was there. The space is private if you are looking for that. It exceeded my expectation. Thank you for sharing your home! 
7679,21858199,2014-10-25,12120564,Brendan,"Joep and Courtney provided an excellent experience. On the north end of Austin, their house is a great getaway in a nice neighborhood. Very clean, very quiet, very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. "
7679,22280957,2014-11-02,23088449,Molly,Joep and Courtney were very nice and communicative! The accommodations were clean and cozy!
7679,24631053,2014-12-31,25308310,Kateri & Nathalie,Very warm welcome from Joep and Courtney. They gave us some wonderful food recommendations. Comfy bed. Some privacy.
7679,28130003,2015-03-18,925534,Wolfgang,"everything was perfect - nice ambience, nice room, 
even space for my rented car and a bath room by my own"
7679,28208967,2015-03-20,13934386,Ruth,"We absolutely loved staying with Joep and Courtney. The house is wonderful, the bed is comfortable, everything was very clean and it really felt like home away from home. Courtney was excellent about communicating with us about details, and even though we were very busy she was able to accommodate our schedule. I would highly recommend staying with them, and will definitely stay here again if my travels take me their way.   "
7679,29807226,2015-04-12,19336969,Brittany,"Courtney and Joep were both great and super friendly! They welcomed us into their home very last minute and still everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. They even had delicious fresh made bread with an abundance of spreads as well as coffee out for us in the morning, I definitely recommend staying here! "
7679,30180544,2015-04-18,629124,Rachel,Courtney and Joep were excellent hosts. They provided everything one would need for an overnight stay. My only regret is not trying some of their homemade bread in the morning! 
7679,30273057,2015-04-19,17902403,Stefanie,"Joep and Courtney were great and very kind hosts. They accepted our last minute request very quickly. The room was clean and their house very pretty. They even offered us homemade bread and spread in the morning. 
I can only recommend staying with Joep and Courtney. "
7679,30680651,2015-04-26,20246350,Alo,Unfortunately we kept missing one another but their house was lovely and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The room was comfortable and exactly what we wanted.
7679,32188754,2015-05-15,11458631,John,"My son and I stayed with Joep and Courtney for two nights. We had a wonderful experience. Joep and Courtney were funny, polite, accommodating and helpful. My son and I walked around the neighborhood both days and enjoyed it very much. Courtney helped guide us on things to do and places to go while in Austin. We would definitely stay there again!"
7679,32665788,2015-05-19,32705078,Justine,"This was a great place that fit our needs while we were in Austin. Courtney and Joep were very accommodating to our late arrival and their flexible checkout time was also very nice for us. This location is approximately 20 minutes outside of Austin which was very nice for us due to our car being fully packed and being able to park it in their side driveway. We didn't have much interaction with Joep or Courtney but they were extremely responsive. 
The room was very nice and was essentially a separate part of the house. As soon as you enter the house, you turn to your right and go down the stairs and your room/bathroom are right there. We enjoyed our time here and would recommend it to others. "
7679,34368959,2015-06-07,18519584,Linda,"Joep and Courtney were accommodating about our arrival time.  Joep greeted us at the door when we arrived and showed us the room.  The description matched our experience.  They also were flexible about our schedule throughout the weekend.  It was a pleasant quiet residential neighborhood, and easy to access both the freeway and local street network.  Although we had little overlapping time, the time that we did share with them was engaging.  We enjoyed having access to their kitchen and sunny breakfast room."
7679,34913586,2015-06-13,35228965,Derek,Joep and Courtney were model hosts. We loved their cute house. Courtney had fresh homemade bread for breakfast. Would stay here again.
7679,35494470,2015-06-19,2442949,Maxwell,"Courtney and Joep were very hospitable, kept a clean home, and went out of their way to make my stay a memorable one. They offered great advice for things to do in Austin, and were kind enough to lend me their washing machine when I got low on clothes. Despite the stormy weather, I had a pleasant and welcoming stay. I will definitely look them up the next time I'm coming to town!"
7679,37270130,2015-07-05,37324509,Eric,"We felt welcomed at Joep and Courtney's home from our reservation and first correspondence. They were both easygoing and relaxed, allowing us to fully enjoy our time in Austin."
7679,43892291,2015-08-22,42045527,Nabila,Joep and courtney are great hosts. They were very accomodating and their place was neat and clean. Its very close to highway and 15 mins away frm downtown. Highly recommended!
7679,47914570,2015-09-21,30778628,Molly,"Courtney and Joep's home was the ideal place to spend a weekend in Austin. It's a great place to come back to after an evening downtown. The neighborhood was cool and the house was nice, clean and colorful. We didn't cross paths during our stay but communication with Courtney and Joep was always prompt and helpful. "
7679,48665633,2015-09-27,29962516,Derek,Very nice place in a nice neighborhood. Not far from the downtown area. Courtney was nice enough to meet us and give us a bunch of recommendations for things to do. Would definitely recommend!
7679,49714674,2015-10-05,14105615,Katherine,"Booked less than 2 weeks away from my trip and had a lot of questions that Joep and Courtney were able to help answer in a timely matter! We came during ACL and they were around in the early morning and was always kind, even provided some freshly baked bread and fruit as well as had bathroom amenities. Also had suggestions for local eateries and instructions for downtown parking when needed. It was definitely a nice stay. They're like the roommates you wish you had, courteous, helpful, respectful, and out of your hair! Was easy to get in and out of house and around neighborhood as well."
7679,50456887,2015-10-12,15237818,Tina,"Courtney and Joep were amazing hosts, they made us feel welcome and trusted. They were very generous in offering delicious and healthy food as well as advice for places in the area. Thanks!"

They are great hosts, their home is clean and pleasant, very relaxing atmosphere.. The location of their house couldn't be better, close to downtown and many restaurants..

3303643,21177942,2014-10-12,21294341,Ashley,"Lisa was great, never actually met her in person but she was very accessible via text message. Lisa provided snacks, water, and wifi. The room has its own access, bathroom and fridge. There is a beautiful yard and patio and we  were able to park in the driveway for the weekend as well. We were in town for ACL and were able to walk to the festival everyday which was great to save time and money on trying to find an uber or pedicab. We had a great stay and I would definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling to Austin!"
3303643,22284028,2014-11-02,316154,Polina,"This is a fantastic, very private and comfortable and clean place. We only stayed for one night but hosts left us snacks and water. Comfy bed adn strong shower too. Their backyard is really neviable though we didn't get a chance to hang otu there much. The neighborhood is really nice!.  At once relaxing and lively with kids and people walking about, but you are walkable to south lamar, the park, south congress and Torchy's tacos. The hosts were great at communicating and really accommodating to our schedule. Can't wait to go back.  "
3303643,22574554,2014-11-09,22346888,Aimee,This little hidden jem was an amazing nights stay for my fiance and I. Lisa was an incredible hostess and was able to accommodate us with very short notice. Very clean well kept studio/ efficiency .I had forgotten to pack my hair dryer and Lisa was gracious enough to let me borrow hers. We would definitely stay there again.
3303643,26796625,2015-02-19,27060820,Ron,"I can't say enough great things about this spot. Perfect if you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, relaxing place to rest your head during your trip, weather it be vacation or work oriented. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Blown away by the generous and welcoming hosts. They were genuinely concerned with making my stay as comfortable as possible. Great spot in a quiet little neighborhood. Lots of privacy but not far from things. 
Highly recommend. "
3303643,27372343,2015-03-02,25718998,Dale,"Our first experience with airbnb and was great.  Lisa's small, quiet space was perfect for a weekend visit with our son, daughter-in-law and new grand baby just a few blocks away.  Wish the weather would have allowed us to spend time on the deck with a glass of wine.  Thanks Lisa!"
3303643,27690009,2015-03-09,1929659,Zarah,"I had a really pleasant stay at Lisa's place. The room was warm, very welcoming, and had everything I wanted--it even had snacks! Very clean, the water pressure on the shower was strong, and the bed was quite comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and was an easy jog to Zilker Park and it was also very easy to get Lyfts or Ubers in order to jet off to another neighborhood. Lisa was extremely communicative and very helpful. I would highly recommend a stay here! Thank you, Lisa for facilitating a great stay in Austin!"
3303643,28309674,2015-03-22,3736056,Victoria,"This place is awesome and Lisa was the best host! She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The location was great, the room was immaculate - it really couldn't have been a better experience - will definitely be back! Thanks Lisa!!"
3303643,28746719,2015-03-29,29244755,Judy,"This was my first time using AirBNB (though have used a competitor) and we were extremely pleased with both the accommodations and our hostess Lisa. She made sure we knew how to get in and told us where we could find extra blankets and that there is air conditioning if need be. Both Lisa and her husband are very friendly and laid back which added to the experience. We were there just to explore Austin for 3 days before business and it was a great location. Near Zilker, Barton Springs and S. Lamar. We used Uber to get around and if we had been able to get a car rental the driveway would have been available to us. We can't recommended this rental and Lisa highly enough. Thanks for a great experience. "
3303643,29071550,2015-04-03,8979527,Vince,Lisa and Scott were awesome hosts! They recommended a bike rental location and showed me excellent trails. Their spot was warm and welcoming with a stocked fridge and comfortable bed. Highly recommended!
3303643,30397091,2015-04-21,452325,Janet,"As I sit drinking my coffee enjoying the sunshine on my last morning in Austin, I'm enjoying the beauty and uniqueness that surrounds me in Lisa's artsy, fun backyard,  My stay was great.  Lisa was amazingly accommodating, from providing a stocked fridge to meeting my unexpected needs (iPad charging cord, beach chair, sunscreen).  The room was perfect, private, had all I needed.  The area couldn't be better situated!  So much is within walking distance (S. Congress shopping, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Zilker Botanical Garden).  It's hard to leave."
3303643,32393947,2015-05-17,32266343,Sabra,"Lisa was so welcoming and gracious.  The accommodation was everything she said it would be.  She had so many thoughtful touches that made the stay so enjoyable........ drinks and snacks and even breakfast food!  We could come and go easily and it was so relaxing, very peaceful and quiet.  A beautiful spot and 5 minutes from where I needed to be.  Thanks Lisa for a wonderful weekend.  Sabra"
3303643,33204292,2015-05-25,30990543,Kristin,"As my boyfriend and I's first Airbnb experience Lisa's little cottage was absolutely perfect! Perfect size for us and in a perfect location. Lisa was a great host, even had snacks and drinks for us to enjoy. We enjoyed our stay in Austin so much and will be returning to stay with Lisa soon! "
3303643,43010879,2015-08-16,9975996,Jason,"no complaints... great location, great place! lisa even invited me to a party she was hosting at her house. I was unable to attend but it was cool to get invited. "
3303643,48049675,2015-09-22,9877171,Ben,"Lisa's private apartment was absolutely perfect for our needs. The bed is very comfortable and the whole place provides privacy and we really enjoyed Lisa's eclectic style.  While we never met Lisa in person, she was communicative and very easy to work with.  Plus, Zilker is our favorite neighborhood and was within walking distance from most of our plans.  Would love to stay again! "
3303643,50431936,2015-10-12,30466661,Stephanie,"Lisa's place was excellent--very clean and stocked with everything we could need. It was quiet and had a great porch to eat breakfast on. Lisa was extremely helpful and a wonderful host. Although she was out of town, she made sure we were set up and made herself available in case we needed her. We would stay here again and recommend it to others! Thank you, Lisa!"
3303643,51245397,2015-10-18,46547773,Heather,"This apartment was perfect! Close enough to be within walking distance to many places, but secluded enough to be quiet and relaxing. Lisa made me feel welcome, and the snacks she provided were a lifesaver. I would heartily recommend staying here!"
951773,35965121,2015-06-23,34508201,Jacque,"During my friend and my stay at Jon and Lydia's we were well taken care of. The room had a king size bed which was great, along with easy access to our own bathroom. Lydia provided us with bath and beach towels. Jon and Lydia are great hosts and their home is wonderful. It has an amazing deck/patio that overlooks the lake. Lydia had coffee ready for us in the morning and we loved the atmosphere they created. They brought us a paper from the local gas station that listed all the live music of the week. They also They also have two furry fun friends Colt and Zen who also made us feel welcomed! I would highly recommend that you stay at Lake Travis with Jon and Lydia. (P.S. Jon also gave me a recommendation for a place to get a run in - at Mansfield Park. It was a beautiful path along the lake!) 

"
951773,40850088,2015-08-02,19072827,Anna & Darren,"This is the PERFECT getaway location! The house is very easy to get to, and the room itself is great with a very comfortable bed and refrigerator. The balcony overlooks the lake, and their private dock is a great place to take a swim, or just hang out. 

They were perfect hosts - they took us out on the lake with their boat, let us know what to do in the area, but still gave us our space. I can definitely recommend staying here!"
951773,42970257,2015-08-16,40861019,Cameron,"The home was very comfortable and the hosts were awesome. We really enjoyed the lake, and I will be staying here again next time I'm in Austin. "
951773,44059342,2015-08-23,13062205,Allie,"We loved our stay at John and Lydia's! My boyfriend and I were visiting friends in Austin, and we picked Club Indigo as a home base for our trip. We had planned all sorts of adventures, but it was hard to tear ourselves away from the house. It's right on Lake Travis, and we loved sitting out on the deck with their dog, Colt, and walking down to the lake for a quick swim. There are some great coffee shops and restaurants nearby, and it's super easy to get into the city. We definitely hope to stay here again the next time we're in town! "
951773,45997030,2015-09-07,41010024,Erik,Lydia and John were extremely welcoming to my girlfriend and I. We had an excellent time. The bedroom and restroom were clean and supplied for our stay. We spent most of our time on exploring the area and it was a great place to come back to. We would've liked to enjoy their patio and dock some more since they had a wonderful setting. 
951773,47907527,2015-09-21,30071430,Julie,he stay at Lydia's was absolutely perfect. Her house is beautiful in an incredible location. She and her family were warm and inviting!
951773,49740007,2015-10-05,45399871,Esther,Lydia is so nice and warm heart. Her house is just beside the river the view is so beautiful. You can feel so comfortable and relax.
951773,50357330,2015-10-11,44461095,Stephanie,This was the most wonderful experience!  Our Hostess Lydia and her husband are amazing and welcoming hosts. This was our first time using Airbnb and it was fantastic!  We recommend this beautiful place for a wonderful relaxing get away!  It was perfect for my husband and I to get away and celebrate my birthday with a relaxing home and wonderful dock by the lake and a deck to enjoy mornings and evenings on. Lydia even had a card and small cake for me on my birthday!  She made everything extra special! The room was just as explained and the home was exactly like the pictures.  We will definitely be going back!! 
951773,51708874,2015-10-24,40343314,Séverine,"Das Haus in Lakeway ist wunderschön gelegen, der See bietet eine Wunderbare Abwechslung und man sieht immer wieder Tiere, wie Fische und Vögel aber auch mal eine Wasserschildkröte. 
Das Zimmer sieht genauso aus wie auf dem Foto und ist geräumig und sehr sauber! 
Gleich gegenüber befand sich das Badezimmer, welches ebenfalls sehr sauber war, mit einer grossen Dusche. Den Luxus eines eigenen Badezimmers habe ich sehr genossen. 
Die Tiere im Haushalt sind beide sehr nett und sauber. "
951773,52676976,2015-11-01,20627635,Kelly,"Staying at Lydia and John's...words cannot do it justice.  The accommodations, the hospitality, the location, the hosts, the warm welcoming experience...priceless.  We traveled from afar to Austin to attend a wedding and were re-routed to Houston, only to find out there wouldn't be any more flights to Austin (can you say history- making, record-breaking flooding and lightening?!)  The debacle caused us to arrive at Lydia's late at night, many hours past our original arrival time.  And where was Lydia?  In her driveway, swaying a light, welcoming us home.  Home...that sums it up best.  Thank you, Lydia and John, we would stay with you again in a heartbeat.  Our only request is that the stay would be longer next time."
8592877,51969555,2015-10-25,45296932,Cristian,"Is 6 stars an option? This home was everything we could hope for & more, so much I don't even know where to begin. From the start Cindy was more than helpful with communication & accommodating with every request. Upon arrival we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the home & the surroundings. The picturesque setting was enough to leave all our friends & family in a serious state of awe from the pictures. I could go on about the design but that's obvious enough from the pictures. What really brought it all together was an amazing host in Cindy. From the little things to the big things, we could not have been luckier. A tasty home-cooked treat for breakfast. An umbrella to ward off the rain. A wrap for my sprained ankle. And on and on and on. Her generosity & hospitality are as amazing as the view. Icing on the cake: 3 goofball French bulldogs, aka my new best friends. 

My girlfriend could not have loved everything any more than she did. It was a weekend in heaven for her, that's an amazing feeling to have. I WOULD recommend the Modern Hill Country Getaway to anyone & everyone (and believe me my friends have already asked) but on second thought, I'm only telling the people I trust to treat our new favorite home away from home right. I have a lot of friends in Austin, but if we ever visit again I feel like we will 100% try to visit Cindy in the hills again, as it truly is a one in a million experience."
8592877,52149519,2015-10-26,28725270,Terry,"A tranquil place , the million dollar view, the rain was pure solitude and the three attack Pugs were awesome. A great host who left us the run of the house!"
1402358,7162364,2013-09-09,7270140,Kin,"Mat is a great guy. Extremely friendly and considerate. Ended up being an awesome friend, as well.

The house is nice, (a little dirty, but not a big deal). Location is great; 20 yards to the bus stop, walk half a block to a grocery store. 
There are dogs next door that are loud, sometimes through the night.

Mat was always willing to pick up groceries and drive me places. Was interested in me as a person, which is something that isn't always there. 

I highly recommend staying with Mat. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely give him a call first."
1402358,9112278,2013-12-08,9001588,Jorge,"I had a great time with Mathew at his house and with the housemates. The house was really nice, quite clean and tidy. Mathew was really involved in the shopping and preparing special meals for the holidays (halloween, thanksgiving, ...) even though he was not at that time! He also offered to pick me up and take me to the airport. It was a very pleasant stay. I have no doubt that I will contact him first If I come back to Austin."
1402358,18468409,2014-08-27,15186694,Jeremy,"Mat was great and made sure I had everything I needed right when I got there. My whole stay was a really great experience, Mat and his roommate are both awesome guys. The house itself is very nice and located in a great location 5-10 minutes from downtown. I stayed here for an extended amount of time and was very happy with the experience. "
1402358,20502087,2014-09-30,19549074,Giuliana,"I totally recomend the house. I stayed in the 'large room' for one month. I slept very well every night there: the bed is good and the place is quiet. They borrowed me a bike and it makes my life easier. The kitchen is fully equipped and it's easy to cook at any time.. The house is close to the supermarket too.  Important: the people of the house are relax, friendly and trustworthy. "
1402358,20817356,2014-10-06,18232282,Valentin,"A very good home, simple, friendly, the key provision allowing to be autonomous. The room was spacious, everything was available ... it was perfect!"
1402358,21124149,2014-10-12,7387115,Alex,"As with our first stay, Mathew was easy to contact and accommodating with our check-in needs, and the room was well prepared for our visit."
1402358,21329682,2014-10-14,6807824,Faith,"Matt was able to accommodate my friend and I on short notice after we had a less than comfortable stay at a different location.  He was very welcoming and gave us a tour upon arrival and provided us each with our own key.  The location was a short drive away from South Congress, Rainey Street, and East Sixth, which is where we spent most of our time.  Although we did not interact much with Matt or his roommates, we felt very comfortable and his place was perfect for our needs!"
1402358,22191592,2014-11-01,21604842,Rae,"If you are travelling alone, so far this is a safe place ( though dark streets 12am). Good allowed use of the kitchen and some small items fridge space. Detachable showerhead- Bathroom is shared between 2 other Roomies then, I have no problems taking turns with available hair dryer for use. Queen size comfy bed~ clean --no smell.. Quiet neighborhood for a good nights sleep.
2 Block walking distance to X-mobile store and XXX ~ the grocery store there. The bus-stop #17 is almost a walk right infront of the door step. #4 is a slight further but both brings you to downtown and #17 is near Hilton Austin for a short walk to the Austin Convention Center and the famous 6th Street strip to explore. I had the best time during Halloweens, Roomies biked to downtown because its not easy to find parking downtown then. Expensive. Explored the 6th street Halloween strip and Foodtrucks for foodies seeker.(Night Scene). Overall, expect staying at a homey environment where everyone is cool and friendly. Not with a concierge spick and span hotel. Good big sized room with a couch on the side and a dresser table and own closet space."
1402358,22238279,2014-11-02,9966150,Nereida,"Matthew was a good host. The place was exactly what we needed, just 2 beds. The place was a bit disorganized but overall a good place. About 10 min from COTA, and 10 to dowtown. "
1402358,22409574,2014-11-05,5281612,Taylor,"Our stay with Mathew was very pleasurable. We never actually met him in person but we had no problem coordinating our check in and everything was prepared when we arrived. 

The room was spacious and plenty big for the two of us. It would provide a comfortable stay for groups of 3 or 4 as well. 

The location was great. It is no more than 5-10 minutes from most of the good night spots in Austin and within 20 minutes of pretty much anywhere in the metro area. It is also really close to some great mexican restaurants. 

We would gladly stay with Mathew again and highly recommend his room. "
1402358,22596829,2014-11-10,22352038,Sara,"Everything was ready for us upon arrival and the house was great for our needs- clean, friendly roommates, and a good location."

1402358,22975692,2014-11-18,23859914,Tommy,"Matt greeted me warmly when I arrived, and we chatted for a bit as he showed me around the house.  Very amicable and welcoming.  He gave me all the information I needed and made me feel very comfortable.  Listing was very accurate to it's description in the listing.  Nice, quiet neighborhood. This was my first time using airbnb, so I was a little trepidatious at first, but Mathew gave me an awesome experience.  Very grateful, and excited to use airbnb again!"
1402358,23272139,2014-11-27,23173213,Aniko,"He and the other guys were friendly. We arrived early, but he managed to give us the key so we can enter the building. The location was perfect and the room was huge."

Matthew was a great host, and even offered us food when they had made extra for dinner. Definitely a swell time overall. :)"
1402358,25225515,2015-01-09,25790584,Rudy,Mathew is an awesome guy! This was my first airbnb experience and I was blown away. He is a gracious host and provides a very comfortable set up for 3-4 people. He also makes a mean pulled pork. 
1402358,25562473,2015-01-19,25517768,Sky,"Host was friendly, and room had 3 beds like we needed."

1402358,25937543,2015-01-30,19256221,Erica,Nice place to stay for one night. Walking distance to a few good food spots. A little tight for 4 people in the one bedroom but definitely can make it work. 
1402358,27825384,2015-03-12,23291635,Paul,"I had such a awesome time staying with Matthew and his roommates. They opened their lovely home to me and treated me like a king. Their residence was very clean, and very near to several bus lines.  I'd definitely stay here again!"
1402358,27931758,2015-03-15,27151586,David,Great Host. Accommodated well and provided suggested for coffee joints as well as SXSW free events.
1402358,28200675,2015-03-20,3029197,Alex,"Bus makes it easy to get downtown although during Sxsw, bus routes are all messed up. Cool residential neighborhood with warm hosts. Big clean room. Better than trying to rent an expensive hotel at SX...
Local housemates were nice enough to give me bus directions and show me the bus app which made travel easier."
1402358,28265249,2015-03-21,20782037,Larry,"Room looks exactly as it is in the picture. Perfect for a short stay. Mat and his roommates were awesome! Mat even stopped working to help us find a place to buy liquor (since markets can't sell it). Also let us know where to grab good local food. As a bonus, his girl made us dinner and we ended up playing a fun board game that night! Definitely recommend staying here. Very memorable."
1402358,28405244,2015-03-23,5281095,Randall, Matthew is a fabulous Host ! Very centrally located to the Capital.
1402358,28636951,2015-03-27,10709629,Julie,"Nice room not far of downtown by car ! 
Thank you Mathew!"
1402358,29006967,2015-04-02,4120523,Romain,"Clean and efficient. Easy communication. Didn't get to interact with the people in the house. Purely a lodging, don't expect to socialize. "
1402358,29787843,2015-04-12,1311137,Suchi,"This was a really calm and convenient location to enjoy downtown Austin from, and the room was perfect, as described. Bed was super comfy,  room and bathroom were both very clean! Matthew was highly responsive and friendly. A great choice for a night in Austin."
1402358,30395365,2015-04-21,1271824,Tisean,"Perfect for what it was, a private room in a large house. The room was large, comfortable and clean. They provided us with clean towels and there was some toiletries in the bathroom as well which was a nice surprise. This place is perfect for someone who is on the go, not really for the lay around watch tv type. "
1402358,30514602,2015-04-23,28930904,David,"We enjoyed our time at Mathew's home. The room was big, nicely furnished, exactly as pictured and the home is very well located for nearby shopping, easy access to I-35 and downtown Austin. While Mathew was out of town on business during our stay, his house mates were very friendly and helpful. The home has a very laid back feel about it. We would consider staying there again on a future trip to Austin. Thank you, David Carlton "
1402358,30657260,2015-04-25,6306326,George,"fast reply, spacey room, right location and nice coffee :)"
1402358,30750124,2015-04-26,21046846,John,Nice clean room and bathroom. Everything was set up for us. We came in at an odd time he left the keys for us. No problems at all. The location is great. The bus comes right to his house so we didn't have to park in downtown. Matt is a good hosts even though we didn't get to meet him we kept in contact over the phone. 
1402358,32481427,2015-05-18,6576108,Christian,"My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed this room in Matthew's home, which was exactly as advertised. The room was spacious and had two beds available (the bed was soft, yet comfortable), and was well-cooled with the air conditioning and ceiling fan.

Wes, Matthew's roommate, made us feel at home and helped us with the lock when we initially couldn't figure it out. Wish we could have met Matthew though!

Note that it's not exactly walking distance to Dirty 6th St or downtown, but with an Uber, Car2Go, or a rental car everything is just a short drive away. "
1402358,32794602,2015-05-21,21278812,Matthew,"Our stay with Matt was great. The room is clean and quiet, and you do have your own personal space. It's a bit far from downtown, but certainly walkable during the day if you don't have a car. We felt welcome and as if we did not interfere with their personal space, and they didn't interfere with ours."
1402358,32871075,2015-05-22,32941988,Angelica,"We didn't meet Mathew because we got to Austin at 6am and then slept till about 2-3pm, showered and left. The place was perfect for what we needed, a safe place to sleep once we arrived and shower before we left. Id definitely return if I ever find myself going back to Austin. "
1402358,37542033,2015-07-07,37656199,Carlos,Room was spacious and clean. Great resting place while on our road trip. Hosts were friendly and professional.
1402358,37676459,2015-07-09,35626469,Yesenia,"I felt very welcomed when I first came into the home. I was greeted by one of Mathew's friends. She was quite kind, for which I was thankful. I enjoyed my 2-day stay. While the bathroom was not private, that was not an issue. Mathew's roommates were respectful. All in all, it was a great experience! "
1402358,37914379,2015-07-11,37421894,Siddhartha,"The description was accurate. Matthew had everything set up well for my friends and I. The neighbourhood was safe, and the tenant was present to welcome us and answer any tourist like queries. 

There was a real Mi Casa Su Casa feel, I'd certainly recommend staying at this accommodation. "
1402358,38971875,2015-07-19,38691750,Camilla,I contacted the host on pretty short same day notice and he got back to me very quickly and made sure I could get in when I was ready! Matthew was super awesome and helpful too!
1402358,40667808,2015-08-01,39287010,Madeleine,"I've stayed in airbnb's with friends abroad, so this is my first time doing it for myself, as well in the US. I hadn't been to Austin in a couple of years, and even then I hadn't done the city justice. 

Mathew's home is cozy and perfect. We found everything as it was in his description and his home is very clean. My friends absolutely adore pets, so the cats and the chinchilla were an absolute delight. His roommates were really pleasant too. We all felt very comfortable. "
1402358,47750999,2015-09-21,11828810,Aimee,"Matthew's place was in a great area. It's a really close drive to downtown and the university, so it wasn't a hassle stopping by the house going to and from different places in the city. It was very easy getting in and out of his house without disturbing anyone. It's only a few blocks from the bus stop, so it's a good place to stay if you're without a car. The room is comfortable and fit me and three others easily. I would definitely recommend staying here."
1402358,48085164,2015-09-23,18237985,Nadya,"Mathew was not there when we came. But his Flatmates took care of us and they were ever so friendly. The organization was perfect. You just have to follow the instructions. The place and room was ever so nice. It was big, clean and very comfortable. His house is also not far located from downtown. I really can recommend his place. "
1402358,49242697,2015-10-02,4120523,Romain,Easy in and out. Clean room. Perfect stay. 
1402358,49423691,2015-10-04,27147816,Justin,"My friends and I had a great time in Austin over the weekend, partly because we had a great place to sleep after a long day of seeing a new city. Matt was very respectful, accommodating and easy to contact. We had no issues the entire weekend "
1402358,50155329,2015-10-09,21501505,Cameron,"Great stay, listing was accurate and the neighborhood was nice.  I had to stay a little late to wait for my friends to get into town and Matt was very accommodating.  Clean room and nice people overall.  i booked one day in advance and they delivered as promised. "
1402358,50268591,2015-10-11,32756520,Helen,"The room was great. The beds were comfortable, sheets and pillows all freshly cleaned, and the bathroom was super well stocked. I had my pick of shampoos and conditioners from four or five different brands, and face wash, clean toothbrushes, towels were all provided by the host. It was definitely all above and beyond my expectations. The house was also keyless entry via coded keypad which made coming and going extremely easy and seamless. On top of it all, Matt, our host, was super friendly, chill, and overall a great host. Excellent place to stay. "
1402358,50733769,2015-10-13,8943828,Guillaume,Everything was fine. Thanks Matthew!
1402358,51019109,2015-10-17,41031914,Nick,"We did not actually meet Matt, but he sent us all the info we needed to enter the house and our room. We found it easily and made ourselves at home. 

Matt has a very nice house in a nice neighborhood and our room was clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay at Matt's place a lot. Also  in large part because Austin is a great city where we met some great people.

We did meet his roommate and his girlfriend, they were very friendly and helped us out with tips and beers :)"
1402358,51243239,2015-10-18,40938420,Zach,The stay was very enjoyable! Mathew  was very easy to contact and made sure that my stay was comfortable. 
1402358,52478660,2015-10-30,23109354,Lauren,"We didn't get to meet Mathew, but he explained everything well in advance. The cats were insanely nice. "
1402358,52769522,2015-11-01,46029894,Kelley,"We came to Austin Halloween night. Mathew was very responsive as far as any info I needed to know prior to arrival, and very welcoming once we got in. We all had a similar agenda and were all in costume and had all gone out by the end of the night. House and people had a very good vibe. Room was clean, bed was comfortable...slept very well. Mathew was an awesome host! Would stay again in the future."
8354974,47024120,2015-09-14,1846763,Beata,"Camille is a great hostess!  She extended every courtesy.  Her place was nice and clean and her dog is adorable and friendly.  The property has lots of trees and it is obvious she is intending to provide a warm and peaceful, relaxing stay.  I will check in with her again when I travel to Austin!"
8354974,47872066,2015-09-21,22737096,Jeremy,"Awesome place. Camille was very helpful when I was in need of redundant clarification due to my own oversight. Excellent communication to ensure I felt welcome for my visit. The premise of airbnb sometimes seems like you are ""crashing"" into someone's life the host outreaching first, as Camille did, is an excellent welcome to the space a traveler gets to share."
8354974,49509634,2015-10-04,44374577,Ken,My stay was comfortable. It was exactly as described in the profile. Very friendly and easy going host. I just needed an inexpensive place to sleep and shower. 
8354974,50335776,2015-10-11,44452618,Elvia,Camille is a great hostess! Very friendly and her pups are adorable. Nice quiet neighborhood. 
8354974,52594881,2015-10-31,937843,Todd,Staying with Camille was an absolute delight. The apartment is nice and her dogs are great! She was professional and friendly. I could not have asked for a better host.
8251627,49745139,2015-10-05,12523132,Janny,"Justine was very hospitable and laid back. Communication was very easy when needed.
Everything was exactly how she had described her place to be. 
Her house was in a quiet, safe residential area. Parking was never a problem.  Her pets were amazing, especially her dog. She was very friendly. I had a great experience!"
977492,3777608,2013-03-13,566572,Akaash,"Roman was great - he's super accommodating, and just an overall really nice guy.

His space was the perfect place for me to spend several nights during SXSW. "
977492,3857290,2013-03-21,3831538,Titania,Roman was a great host and quickly responded to all of my questions. The place is immaculate and tastefully designed. The room has its own private entry and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Short bike ride to downtown and SXSW events. 
977492,4970732,2013-06-04,4158108,Andrew,Roman was a great host and his place is immaculate. Location was perfect and with a great bike to boot made getting to and from most locations super easy. I'd recommend his place to anyone staying in Austin in a heartbeat. 
977492,7048955,2013-09-04,8290897,Abel,"The place was exactly what I needed. Anyone needing to stay on the East side, this is it. Climbing into the loft bed - not a problem, unless you are like 200 kilos. "
977492,7348318,2013-09-16,8557945,Erica,"Short drive to east 6th street, close to airport
Walkable to downtown, not necessarily at night.
Clean and cozy place. 
Roman was very responsive. 
Overall great stay."
977492,7539853,2013-09-23,4590362,Matthew,"Roman and Andrea were extremely accommodating on extremely short notice, and their place is maybe the coolest place in Austin! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
977492,7761733,2013-10-01,12061,Marie,"Roman & Andrea's place was amazing. It's new, super clean, has an excellent location and is more like a private suite than just a room. I would definitely stay here again :)"
977492,8078829,2013-10-15,3944255,Suzanne,"Super affordable, stylish, really clean, great location, awesome hosts.  The bikes were a wonderful bonus and EXTREMELY useful in getting around Austin as well as to and from Zilker Park for ACL. We would totally stay at Roman and Andrea's again (and hope to again).  "
977492,8545828,2013-11-04,510101,Michelle,"Perfect little space while visiting Austin! Everything from the actual design of the house to the interior details are so well thought out and a pleasure to call home for a few days. Andrea and Roman were both so gracious in wanting to share about their home towns and gave us customized recommendations to local spots. The room is actually a separate wing of the main home and is totally private and it feels like your own secluded studio space. My only comment is that the loft bed does not have any guard to give a sense of security while sleeping on the loft.

All in all great spot to experience the east side of Austin!
"
977492,8666347,2013-11-11,196335,Philipp,"Roman and Andreas little ""studio"" is lovely. I've been looking for places to stay in Austin for a little and I found everything to be ugly besides this.
Checkin was really easy as the keys were in a lock box. Very nice bathroom and comfortable bed. It sleeps two people very well.

When ever I come back to Austin, I would totally try to stay with Roman and Andrea again."
977492,8779131,2013-11-18,2325099,Jenny Lynn,"This place was awesomeeeeee!!! We loved every little detail of the studio, and the architecture of the house is really neat. The shower had hot water (which is what we needed the most on a cold day in Austin), there was a TV with movies, and wireless internet was fully working! Everything was super clean, and Roman & Andrea were super cute and friendly; they recommended yummy places to eat nearby :) Definitely coming back to stay for more days on our next trip to Austin."
977492,9154951,2013-12-09,10362302,Tom,Great Place to stay in Austin.  Would recommend and would stay here again
977492,9473792,2013-12-30,293624,Ellen,"We had a great stay at Roman and Andrea's spot. They were super responsive and communicative, which was really nice. Roman's recommendations in town were spot on. The crash pad was clean and comfy. Neighborhood was centrally located, and was a fantastic place to explore Austin from. "
977492,9605480,2014-01-03,624132,Kelly,Roman and Andrea have a warm and stylish home. It's located in a great area of Austin and one I would highly recommend! I'd love to stay in this modern crash pad again. 
977492,9976853,2014-01-22,4693387,Fernando,"Loved our stay! Nice, quiet location."
977492,10043551,2014-01-27,2899511,Seth,"Had a wonderful stay with Roman and Andrea. Very nice, modern home with all the furnishings you would need for a comfortable trip.
A great location on the east side."
977492,10355867,2014-02-15,8072399,Chris,"I agree with previous folks staying there, this is a very unique place in Austin and more like a suite than a room. You are in a very private setting in one of the coolest small homes on the East side. Roman & Andrea are very nice hosts and were very easy to work with - thanks!"
977492,10425179,2014-02-18,4298502,Adam,"My wife and I had a really nice weekend stay at Roman & Andrea's place.  They are super friendly hosts who made us feel welcome and well oriented in our first visit to Austin. Their place matched its Airbnb photos and description to a tee.  It's a cool, tasteful and modern design with careful details -- we loved staying there.  And the location is great.  You avoid the touristy hubbub of SOCO, and are super convenient to nightlife on East 6th, Rainey or downtown, as well as outdoor activities on the water.  "
977492,10548663,2014-02-24,6155453,Ekin,"My husband & I so enjoyed our stay at the Crash Pad.  It was super clean, modern, quiet, comfortable, nicely furnished and only just a short drive to anywhere we wanted to go in Austin. Highly recommended. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.
"
977492,11134053,2014-03-22,2073100,Felix,"Really nice little place. Roman was courteous and polite. 
I had a very comfortable stay. "
977492,11225476,2014-03-25,12363277,Gerald,"We stayed at Andrea and Roman's place for three nights. The place was excellent and completely as shown in the pictures. The room/apartment was very clean and everything was well arranged. Although it is advertised as a guest room, it was more like a private apartment due to the separating hall and separate entrance from there. Andrea and Roman were very uncomplicated and flexible, which made checking in and out like a breeze. Both of them were very helpful and we felt comfortable staying at their place. We would highly recommend staying at this place when going to Austin."
977492,11360030,2014-03-31,1177624,Krista And Timothy,Roman and Andrea were so chill and kind! Their house is amazing and so clean! We had the most relaxing and fun weekend in Austin and that was in huge part to how comfortable our accommodations were! We will absolutely be staying here again! 
977492,11546786,2014-04-07,8921349,Anja,"What a fantastic stay.  We loved the location, very clean, and the design of the crash pad was amazing.  Would recommend to anyone coming to Austin!"
977492,11649855,2014-04-10,13793951,Andreas,Great place to stay!
977492,11750160,2014-04-14,12888758,Maame,"I had a lovely weekend stay at Roman and Andrea's crash pad. It was clean, modern and very cool.  The location of their home makes it easy to get to downtown and the nightlife on the East side. There's also a CapMetro bus stop very close to their place.  
Andrea and Roman are very friendly hosts and it all made my stay very enjoyable. I'd love to stay here again on my next visit to Austin. "
977492,12125236,2014-04-23,8755694,Hj,"Loved our stay at ""LoftBnB"", the space was quiet, clean and comfortable with lots of natural light. Would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin. Also Chandler the pomeranian is our favorite"
977492,12610120,2014-05-06,3894579,James,Fantastic stay. Just like in the photos - unique cozy spot - very stylish. The location's perfect too - an enjoyable walk/bike away from E sixth's killer bars and restaurants. Roman and Andrea were friendly when we crossed paths - but the space feels like your own with its separate entrance.
977492,12885662,2014-05-13,13197933,Rudy,"My first experience with an airbnb leaves me stunned by the amazing hospitality of Andrea & Roman. Super sweet and helpfull. Their room is nothing less than amazing and perfectly situated in between Austin's best areas, south and east.

The pad was clean, well interiorized and fun to be at. Couldnt wish for a better first time! Big thumbs up!"
977492,12986221,2014-05-16,5952150,Jeremy,"Roman and Andrea are great hosts and made me feel at home while traveling in Austin.  The room is private and a great retreat after venturing around East Austin for great food, coffee, and cocktails.  Great location for a morning run on the Lady Bird Trail.  Looking forward to the next trip!"
977492,13106202,2014-05-19,794748,Chip,"Great host, great little place. The East Side of Austin is up and coming - a little grittier than the polished scenes in South or downtown, but that's the way we like it. :) We were able to walk to just about everything we wanted. "
977492,13298269,2014-05-24,7726657,Stephen,Really great place and really great hosts. Couldn't recommend this place more. Thanks a ton guys!
977492,13369251,2014-05-26,15086873,Mandy,The space was very clean and exactly what we expected. Roman made sure to check in to see if we had everything we needed. The space was perfect for us and in a nice area.
977492,13695669,2014-06-02,14654985,Charles,"So glad we found this place! It has a stylish boutique feel (a la Liz Lambert) at a fraction of the cost. Great hosts, too, very responsive with any questions or suggestions. The neighborhood was nice, just a short walk from East Sixth (a highlight of our trip). Will hands-down recommend this spot to any friends that plan a visit to Austin."
977492,13858210,2014-06-06,15806356,Tanner,"Roman and Andrea are fantastic hosts.  The were accommodating and friendly.  If there were an Austin's cutest couple award, they would probably win. 

The room was private, clean and very comfortable.  They are also very conveniently located if you want to get downtown and enjoy downtown Austin.  It was an easy walk to the convention center as well for me every morning with plenty of options for breakfast on the way.  If I have to attend a conference in Austin again, this is where I will stay.
"
977492,13980117,2014-06-09,15810740,Chelsea,Andrea was great and so was the place.  Perfect clean little place to stay for the weekend.  Had a great time.
977492,14308128,2014-06-16,16222170,Nathaniel,"Very clean, awesome room in a really neat modern house. The neighborhood around is great. We had a great time and all of our expectations were 100% met."
977492,14668056,2014-06-23,16972509,Shanti,Excellent room in a great location -- it was very easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. Andrea and Roman were incredibly responsive and so easy to work with!

Thank you "

977492,16435580,2014-07-27,6078934,Brad,"Comfortable and in a fun location, this was a great room for the price. I didn't have an opportunity to meet Andrea, but Roman was very friendly and made sure I had all the information needed prior to arriving. 
Initially had some reservations regarding how comfortable the sleeping area would be, but found the mattress to be reasonably comfortable and the loft area has enough headroom that I could move around only minimally hunched (I'm 5'10""). Room also comes with a solid book collection.

Room is as advertised including fast WiFi!"
977492,17366177,2014-08-11,6222409,Jourdan,Could not ask for a better stay! Roman and Andrea were terrific hosts and the place was absolutely perfect. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and my room was very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone!

977492,18842020,2014-09-01,854759,Carlee,"Nice spot in a cool neighbourhood.  Very close to the river for early morning runs.  Very excellent food (Mexican, Vegan, bakery) a short walk away; even more within reach of a $10 cab.  The bed is lofted and the fan can feel a little close from the ladder, but overall a very functional and welcoming space.    "
977492,19110712,2014-09-06,19392794,Vanessa,"The time we spent in Austin was just fantastic. Roman and Andrea are very kind hosts and they did a great job with the studio they rent out. 6th street and Downtown are not far from the appartment and we had everything we needed. Also, the two were very accommodating even though we arrived late in the evening. All in all, we enjoyed our time very much and can only recommend the place. "
977492,19255909,2014-09-08,9015081,Kaz,"Roman and Andrea were excellent hosts - hassle free and have done an impressive job with they're modern pad. My girlfriend and I needed a place last minute and not only did they greet us on short notice, they also took time provide good suggestions of places nearby. 10/10 would recommend and definitely stay again!"
977492,19851545,2014-09-19,21228095,Brian,It was great.  I only stayed 2 nights.  Everything was setup and ready to go.  Easy to get around town from this location.  I'd look forward to going back.
977492,20266841,2014-09-26,3531467,Andrew,Beautiful space; hospitable hosts. Great all around experience.
977492,20533247,2014-09-30,17762549,Wi Li Yum,"This place and the hosts are great. The studio feels brand new and is located on a nice quiet street, but close to downtown as well. Hosts were very accommodating (I checked in very late and had to stay an extra day). Couldn't have picked a better spot. "
977492,20995499,2014-10-09,2815434,Francesca,"Staying here was such a treat, it's a great place in a beautiful home in a lovely neighbourhood. Everything was perfect really, and Roman and Andrea are both so friendly and welcoming. Everything matched the description and even exceeded expectations. I had a really enjoyable time staying here - highly recommended!"
977492,21342720,2014-10-15,20581760,Jonathan,"Roman and Andrea's place was comfortable, clean and even more beautiful in person. The location was perfect for ACL and very central to everything else we did during our stay- restaurants, shopping and lady bird lake. Roman & Andrea were both so warm and welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would love to stay here again!"
977492,21529320,2014-10-19,21264480,Mary,"Roman and Andrea's home was beautiful, neat, and clean! The location was excellent - very close to downtown and easy to get to. We enjoyed the netflix and the loft was a fun aspect! We felt very safe in their home. We didn't get to meet them, but they stayed in touch via email and were very helpful. Overall, it was a great experience! "
977492,21687821,2014-10-21,4124425,Molly,"We had a great time at Roman's studio in Austin's East Side. The location was a $6-12 lyft or uber to wherever you wanted to go. There is also a nice walkable path along the river just ~3 blocks away.

Roman takes great care of the studio apartment... Everything was very clean. The space was even cuter in person than in the pictures. There was plenty of privacy, but Roman was around if we needed any advice for things to do and places to go.

We will try and stay again if it is available."
977492,21835307,2014-10-25,5100307,Erica,"We had a great time staying at Roman and Andrea's studio. It was a quick drive to downtown and really everything in Austin. The studio was comfortable, clean and calming. Roman and Andrea were around to answer questions and provide advice as much as we liked. 

"
977492,22080429,2014-10-29,18084800,Lisa,"Cool spot in quiet East Austin neighborhood, two miles from the heart of 6th Street action.  Bus line is steps away.  Uber/Lyft rides are $7-$9 to/from there and about $20 to/from the airport.  Uber is easier to get than Lyft during peak times.  Every driver and friend who came by commented how cool the house looks.  Neighborhood appears to be at the start of a revitalization where one or two homes on the block are renovated and the others not, but it feels safe.  I walked it every morning to exercise and explore.  There's also a big park about two blocks south, right along the river.

Space looks just like the photos.  Clean and bright.  Private.  Surprisingly comfortable bed... just be nimble enough to navigate up and down the ladder.

Wish there were a closet and/or drawers.  A mini refrigerator and a microwave would've been nice, too.  I stayed for four nights and those things would've been convenient.

The only glitch was during my arrival.  I'd contacted them about a week in advance to discuss procedures and at that time disclosed my arrival plans around 1 p.m.  Check in/out was listed as ""flexible,"" and they said that was fine, but when I touched down at the airport, I got a text apologizing, saying check-in isn't normally until 4 and could I come at 3 because the other tenant hadn't checked out yet.  I wasn't planning on wandering Austin with a suitcase for two hours, and I really just needed to drop my things off (and charge my phone) before going downtown.  I arrived just before the previous tenants and they were apologetic, saying they left to go for coffee and decided to do some sight-seeing before checking out and the time got away from them.  I think it was more awkward for them than for me.  It would've been a big deal if I were exhausted and needed a shower or to sleep, but I literally dropped off my bag, charged my phone and went straight back out until later that evening.  

I had a great stay.  Roman and Andrea were super nice and accessible if I needed anything."
977492,22288978,2014-11-03,2012426,Orlaith,"We had such a great stay at Roman and Andrea's Private Studio. It is gorgeously designed, comfortable and just perfect for a few days. The bed was really comfy, and the neighbourhood is great. Not far from lots of great restaurants and cafes. They are lovely people and looked after us excellently! We'll be back we hope."
977492,22428834,2014-11-06,185884,Joseph,"this was a fantastic place to stay for a few days for a couple while exploring Austin. its conveniently located to the East 6th St strip of bars and restaurants and an easy car trip downtown or down to South Congress. the apartment itself was impeccably styled, very clean, and exactly as pictured and described. roman and andrea were extremely responsive, helpful, and unobtrusive as hosts. overall, an amazing value and would highly recommend."
977492,22590716,2014-11-10,629880,Judy,"Roman was really welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay!(He even came by at night to fix the beeping fire alarm that we couldn't reach.) Everything was just as pictured. The loft bed made this space a memorable experience. The neighborhood was great, close enough to East 6th street (with all the bars) yet quiet and peaceful at night. Would recommend this place to friends!"
977492,23084207,2014-11-22,507138,Jonathan,Absolutely wonderful hosts and a fantastic space. I was just in Austin for a short stay and had to work most of the time so I didn't get to take full advantage of Roman and Andrea's hospitality but my few interactions with them were great.  They even provided an umbrella for me which was clutch since it rained most of the time I was there. The unit was incredibly clean and roomier than most hotels. Location is sweet. I'd come back!
977492,23162418,2014-11-24,22737921,Nichole,Roman and Andrea were great! They were there when we arrived to welcome us and give us the quick tour. The place is adorable and is semi connected to the larger part of the home where they live. The neighborhood is a great area. Easily acessable to all areas of Austin. Would highly recommend! 
977492,23667986,2014-12-07,17713635,Kaitlyn,"This was our second stay at Roman & Andrea's Crash Pad. They are great hosts – and this time we were greeted with ice cold beer :) If you're considering staying here, just go ahead and book it."
977492,23756461,2014-12-09,5696754,Ron,Roman and Andrea were both really cool and their spot was very cozy. Roman brought us coffee in the morning which was a nice touch. It's about 15 min from the airport and pretty close to a bunch of cool stuff which was nice.
977492,24106508,2014-12-20,8960584,Jackye,"Roman called us before we approached town then met us when we got to his property.
The description of the studio was very accurate and the picture was exactly what it looks like in real life. The quality of the furnishings is modern and of good quality. The neighborhood is an up and coming section of Austin with a mix of old and new homes."
977492,24363984,2014-12-27,9710549,N'Gai,"Excellent little place. Clean, private, and nicely furnished. Had pretty much what we needed except a small fridge to keep yogourt for breakfast or a beer or two. That said, I would  not hesitate to recommend staying at this place. Well located for walking and access to some really funky and delicious restaurants and pubs. Make sure to ask Roman and Andrea for advice as they won't steer you wrong. I highly suggest this place and would stay there again in a heartbeat."
977492,24641654,2015-01-01,3442449,Anne,"Roman and Andrea were perfect hosts and particularly helpful as we were planning our trip. We loved staying at their place. It is beautifully built, and exactly as pictured - very clean, very comfortable, and close to everything."
977492,25194991,2015-01-09,10028667,Jay,"Roman and Andrea's studio is very well presented and comfortable for two. The bathroom was stocked with organic products. Walking distance from the brilliant Rainey St, convenience store and the hike-and-bike trail. A car is recommended for getting around Austin, just make sure you're familiar with the one-way streets in Downtown.
We had an awesome time with Roman and Andrea and shared travel stories and experiences who were very welcoming and happy to suggest things to do (and BBQ to eat!). The neighbourhood is a 5 minute drive to Downtown and is very quiet. If you're coming to Austin, stay with these two!"
977492,25858942,2015-01-27,4577802,Kath,Andrea and Roman were the sweetest hosts! Nothing was too much trouble. We arrived late on a Friday night and there was a couple of local beers waiting for us. Welcome after our travels. The tiny house is exactly as it is in the photos. The bathroom exceptional. Location is an easy walk up to East Austin. We loved our stay at Andrea and Roman's and would definitely stay again! 
977492,26325612,2015-02-09,172103,Emily,Roman and Andrea were great hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and suggested things to do in the neighborhood. Their house is beautiful and the studio was cozy and clean - just as in the pictures. We would definitely stay here again!
977492,26608776,2015-02-16,10701587,Jane,"Beautiful home with welcoming, experienced hosts. Description of accommodations was perfect.  We loved the neighborhood with all the different architecture of the homes. Tons of great places nearby for dining/drinking/coffee.  Also, neighborhood is well serviced by Uber if you want to go out and not worry about driving. Roman / Andrea's home is just around the corner from this amazing running/biking trail on the river which is perfect for a short or long run. Would definitely stay here the next time we're in Austin!"
977492,28066827,2015-03-17,14921352,Rebecca,"Really loved Roman and Andrea's apartment - it was exactly as described and in a great location. I was in Austin for SXSW and could walk to everything within around 1.5-2 miles -- just far enough away for it to be peaceful. 

Roman recommended a great restaurant called Laundrette which was a five min walk away. Fresh towels, shampoo/conditioner and beers in the fridge - better than being in a hotel. If I'm back in Austin in the future, I'll definitely stay here."
977492,28604007,2015-03-27,4429204,Suzie,"Perfect location and very comfortable stay, I would recommend it to anyone staying in Austin , Andrea & Roman were great hosts ;)"
977492,28720868,2015-03-29,4047517,Rich,"We enjoyed our stay.   It is an interesting space and was close to downtown and the river.   We walked the river trail every morning.  Yes, the ladder is a bit tricky to negotiate.  I'm a fit 60 y.o. and used caution, but if you are at all limited, Roman and Andrea's loft will be challenging.   No kitchen space so make sure you are not planning on a fridge.   Roman and Andrea were around next door and we really enjoyed talking to them, a great young couple.   They were great hosts.    I really like east Austin.  Get there before it changes too much!  Thanks         "
977492,28973333,2015-04-01,18567953,Erin,"This studio was beautiful--clean, minimal and located just a hop, skip and jump east of downtown. Andrea and Roman were great communicators and hosts--very responsive over text messaging.  I was visiting Austin on business and working long days, and it was a pleasure to spend the night in this space.

The bed is located in a loft. This is a really fun experience, but not for everyone."
977492,29771279,2015-04-12,16497343,Danielle,"We stayed at Roman and Andrea's studio for two nights this past weekend and it was great. We were pretty busy with a friend's wedding and all of the events so we never got to meet Roman and Andrea but they were very available through phone and text. We had no problems getting in and out. The house was amazing and our little studio was perfect for the weekend. The bed was comfortable and the little love seat and TV was perfect for relaxing after so many busy events. The neighborhood was great and close to everything. We walked to an amazing breakfast spot, Cenote each morning and had the best coffee and breakfast. It was only about a 20 minute walk from the house. Everything else we needed to get to in Austin was close. We took Ubers everywhere and it was only abou $4-7 each way to get to Rainy St, downtown, etc. Roman and Andrea's place was my first airbnb and it was awesome. I would highly recommend it to anyone! "
977492,30171934,2015-04-18,2629600,Jamie,"We loved our two nights at Andrea and Roman's cozy (yet airy) loft studio. The bed was very comfortable, as was the oversized chair, and the bathroom is spacious. We didn't spend as much time in the studio as I would've liked, as we were in town for a conference, but the space is so inviting that I can easily imagine hanging out with a book and a glass of wine. 

Super smartly designed. The studio and the exterior space is just beautiful! 

Also, the studio is in a great location! I used to live in Austin so I know the city fairly well, and this is the up-and-coming neighborhood, close to great restaurants, bars and coffee shops. Trust me, you'll love staying here!"
977492,30317246,2015-04-20,22724747,Stephanie,We had a lovely time at Andrea and Romans place.  They were kind enough to give us a call and offer to meet us at the property.  The location is walking distance to Lady bird lake and walking paths/parks.  What a treat to wake up to sunshine and the sound of birds.  Clean and simple space.  We would definitely stay again! 
977492,30666579,2015-04-26,17713635,Kaitlyn,"As always, another great time at the crash pad! This is our favorite spot to stay in Austin. It's super clean and just minutes from 6th/ Rainey Street. Roman and Andrea are available when you need them, easy to communicate with, but you still have tons of privacy.

They also have a super cute dog :)"
977492,31276726,2015-05-03,2132863,Ben,"Only met Andrea, but she was very pleasant and accommodating! 

The place was fantastic - simple, clean, comfortable, and totally removed from main house, which is modern and awesome.

The neighborhood is also just great - really cool bars and restaurants within walking distance."
977492,32286043,2015-05-16,212479,Jon,"This is a great little place; the house is very smartly designed -- comfortable and clean. Roman and Andrea were great hosts (and we loved their pup Chandler), responding quickly to any questions and quick to offer restaurant recommendations (The Launderette was so good, and it's only a couple of blocks away). We'll definitely try to stay there next time we're in Austin. Thanks!"
977492,32833695,2015-05-22,9736643,Abby,"Andrea and Roman were incredibly responsive. Check in was a breeze and the space was unique, clean and inviting. I loved my stay at their private studio and I'll definitely try to book again when I'm in town! "
977492,33142322,2015-05-25,32307915,Sean,"We really enjoyed the stay at this cute house, very nice neighborhood, walking distance to bars and restaurants. Only 6 mins to 6th street. Overall 5 stars experience. "

Access was easy and the accommodations were just what we needed. "
977492,39711878,2015-07-25,25607292,Julie,"Roman and Andrea were terrific hosts, both helpful and unimposing. The directions for how to check in were easy, we said a friendly hello, and the stay proceeded without a hitch. The space was quiet, comfortable, and incredibly, incredibly cute. If I ever return to Austin this will be the first place I look up! "
977492,40041890,2015-07-27,39136362,Daniel,"Safe, clean, comfortable, and convenient... Can't ask for much more! Roman greeted me and got me settled and left me to do my thing, but remained readily available via text. 

Approximately 5-10 minutes and $5 to take an uber into town.; 15 minutes and $15 to the airport.

Check out Kebabalicious on E. 7th or ""El Sol y la Luna"" downtown on 6th... My two fav eats from my stay! "
977492,40822831,2015-08-02,13350717,Anastasia,"Roman & Andrea were awesome! They were out of town for the duration of our stay, but you would never know because Roman was so attentive and only a text away. He answered all of our questions promptly and even gave us recommendations for must-try restaurants. The loft is comfortable, homey, and has everything you need for an enjoyable experience in Austin!"
977492,41868863,2015-08-09,7323557,Katie,"Cute, modern and cozy room. The space was clean and the location was great. We brought our bikes and literally biked everywhere... dinner, downtown, hike and bike trail, etc. Highly recommend dining at Launderette for brunch. We had a minor issue and the owners were very apologetic, responsive, and compensated us for it."
977492,42990489,2015-08-16,19988493,Joshua,I absolutely loved this spot in Austin. The house was just stunning and so was the room. The bed was the perfect size for two (wider than I expected). The bathroom is clean and nicely painted. I love the overall aesthetic and decor of the room as well as the entire home. Andrea was very sweet and courteous to our privacy. Thanks so much for everything and making us feel welcome. I would absolutely recommend this place and would stay again!!!
977492,43985040,2015-08-23,32015360,Katie,"The studio was very cute! It was clean and the AC worked well! Great location, one mile to Rainey st and 5 minute uber ride to 6th street. Host left us towels and shampoo and soap. Very happy with stay and would recommend."
977492,44494304,2015-08-26,17900802,Mikey,"From the start, Andrea was very welcoming as she gave us a little tour of the place and whereabouts. They were kind enough to save us some parking because the streets can get packed. We loved that its location is not too far from the city, and it's rather quiet so you don't have to worry too much about not sleeping. My girlfriend and I did not want to leave this place because it was very cozy. Overall we had a wonderful stay the the Pisano's and we'd definitely recommend this place! "
977492,45853732,2015-09-06,10873257,Emily,As soon as we arrived Andrea was there to greet us and show us around. The private studio was a great place and very close to downtown. They were very quiet as well so we didn't hear any noise from the house or outside. Even having to use the ladder to get to the bed was something I looked forward to each night! This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a great one. Next time we visit Austin we will definitely book with Andrea & Roman again!  
977492,46389663,2015-09-10,25772495,Jason,Neat space within a short drive to most of what Austin has to offer.  Hosts were welcoming and Chandler (their dog) adorable.  Also loved a nearby coffee shop called Cenote. 
977492,46815639,2015-09-13,10386014,John,We loved our stay in Austin! Roman and Andrea made us feel welcome from the time we got there! The place was beautiful and our hosts were extremely kind and helpful in making sure we knew all the places to check out! We will be back for sure!

Especially, if you love good eats like us you will love that you are walking distance from the best restaurants! Roman and Andrea were awesome hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them a bit! Sleeping in the loft was the best! We even had a electric water kettle in our space for hot tea and coffee!! "
977492,47766901,2015-09-21,42596452,Melanie,"Space was as advertised: bright, clean, well-decorated and easy to relax in.  Very quiet side street within walking distance to East-side restaurants & a B-Cycle station.  Communication was easy & helpful - Andrea answered all my first-timer questions and Roman sent a quality list of recommendations for local dining and places to check out in Austin.  All good.  A sturdy handle at the top makes ladder navigation more secure.  Netflix + digital antenna to catch the Packer game.  ;) Way better than a hotel room for 2-3x the price!"
977492,49905607,2015-10-07,14488842,Stephen,"A cool modern take on a native Austin structure - an aesthetic treat. Well set up for a sleek crash pad and wonderful hosts. Requires some urban architecture dexterity - unconventional locks, loft ladder to bed... This is essentially a hotel room, without the hotel. For me it was a perfect fit - I was gone all day and most of the night and just needed to sleep and shower - and the neighborhood is full of gems. Might be a little lean for those looking for a vacation home experience, though the hosts and vibes are great"
977492,50187747,2015-10-10,29933386,Sasha,Roman and Andrea were very communicative hosts! Check in was easy although our schedules did not line up and the space was welcoming and homey.

977492,51692187,2015-10-24,32534773,Joshua,"We had an amazing time at Andrea and Roman's crash pad in Austin Texas. We were able to go everywhere in Austin within a 10 minute drive, had unbelievable parking, and great recommendations from the host. We loved our time in Austin, and would spend it again in the crash pad. One of the greatest benefits of Andrea and Roman's crash pad was that it was located within a five minute walk of the Lady Bird Lake Trail. My wife and I are avid runners, and were thrilled to have this wonderful Trail located within a short distance of their home. They even provided us and iron and hairdryer upon request and the crash pad itself was very clean. We appreciated their detail, and their home. We would recommend staying with Andre and Roman to anyone if they plan on spending time in Austin."
977492,52207468,2015-10-27,35346198,Ash,Roman and Andrea's place is modern and lovely. It is furnished beautifully and the attention to detail was great. We arrived and picked up our key while they weren't home and settled in. The loft bed was very comfortable. We stayed two nights and will recommend to our friends. Great location. Easy to get around especially with Uber.

2521003,11374524,2014-03-31,13287899,Nick,"This was my first time using Airbnb and Billy certainly made it an enjoyable trip!

He did a beautiful job updating his studio...it couldn't have been more perfect and top of the line. 

He was a gracious host and was very helpful with getting me settled. The studio even comes with a Nespresso maker which Billy so generously helped me figure out how to work.

The location is incredible and right up the street from a B-Cycle station which I used to get around the entire time.

I'll definitely be staying here next time I'm back in Austin! :-)"
2521003,18865127,2014-09-01,20624289,Leo,"Billy's BnB was beautiful, with modern elegance and antique touches we felt at home for our weekend in ATX. We checked in quite late, he was nice and flexible enough to make arrangements. 

The location was perfect, only a couple of minutes from downtown's 6th street and Zilker's Park Barton Springs Pool. There are great eateries near by including food truck stops, eccletic restaurants ,and delicious diners and drives. Everything else to do in Austin I'm sure you all know of and this classy neighborhood is in the perfect location for many activities.

Our dogs also loved his place. Billy has a nice closed in patio/yard area. The convenience of letting our dogs out was awesome. Not only did our dogs enjoy the parks and patio dining, they had fun playing with Billy's dogs too.

Our host Billy was delightful. He reassured our stay and was concerning of any other necessities. I would definitely recommend this BnB to anyone especially if you have pets to bring. Billy's shabby chic BnB will definitely bring comfort to your stay."
2521003,20930877,2014-10-07,11273107,Stephanie,"My host was FANTASTIC. He gave me directions to the place, how much a taxi would cost from AUS, filled the fridge with water and hummus, had coffee ready, plenty of clean towels and blankets. The place is very cute and great for a couple. His puppies are also adorable. I got to meet them when I arrived. So close to ACL - BIG PLUS! The neighborhood is quiet, but you're only 3 blocks from Barton Springs where there are plenty of restaurants and food trucks!"
2521003,22362666,2014-11-04,21530450,Philip,"The overall experience was very positive.  The place itself was very clean, included all the amenities listed, and was in a very convenient location (a bike ride away from downtown!).  Billy was very responsive and offered assistance if needed.  Would recommend this listing to any friend or family member."
2521003,22646011,2014-11-11,20040050,Amber,"My husband and I stayed at Billy's studio for funfunfun fest. It was nice, clean and just enough space for the two of us. It's in a great location within walking distance of anything you might need. Billy was very helpful anytime we needed anything and even gave us a nice shortcut into Austin which was great! I don't have a single bad thing to say about my first experience with air bnb or Billy's great little studio. "
2521003,24258584,2014-12-23,3332373,Alan,The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2521003,26698940,2015-02-17,18048793,Justin,"Billy was an excellent host (left us with a fridge full of wine and beer and full reign over the Nespresso), and the place is great for two guests. Great location: walkable to S. Congress/S First and very cheap ride downtown. "
2521003,28121494,2015-03-18,4729107,Spencer,"Billy was great! The house was spotless, quant and just what I needed for my 1 week stay during SXSW. Walking distant to everything happening down town, but in a quieter neighborhood off the main stretch of things. Billy had great local advice that he was willing to share when needed, I'd definitely recommend and stay again! "
2521003,28464252,2015-03-24,21380939,Mush,"Billy was such a gracious host! When we arrived at his place, it was spotless and inviting. The fridge was stocked with beer, wine, a Brita and milk for coffee.  The counter was equipped with a Nescafé machine. The bed was SUPER comfy.  

After we settled in, Billy introduced us to his two adorable pooches and invited us out to a nearby party at Hotel San Jose where we met one of his very cool friends.  

Billy even hooked us up with some sxsw guest passes that got us access to some very cool events nearby.  

During our trip, Billy went out of his way to make sure we felt welcomed and at ease.  He was always responsive by text and was easy to get along with.  We'll definitely go back to Austin and hope to stay with Billy again in the future.

We highly recommend staying with Billy."
2521003,28850915,2015-03-30,23395413,Steven,Just wanted to thank you again for being a great host this past weekend. Everything exceeded expectations. Billy was a great host and the place was exceptionally clean. I really enjoyed my time in Austin. Look forward to coming back in the Future.
2521003,29891967,2015-04-13,1110475,Meghan,"We have used Air BNB in Austin several times and this was our favorite spot! It was clean, comfortable and in an ideal location. Billy was a very kind and flexible host and we absolutely loved everything about our stay. The place is very private but we were able to meet his two adorable dogs! I would definitely stay here again!!"
2521003,33269794,2015-05-26,14420512,Danielle,Great location in a cute and private studio in Austin! The studio was beautifully maintained and very clean. Location was perfect - halfway between zilker park and downtown with lots to do in walking distance! It was also very accommodating to bring our little dog - which is always appreciated! Will definitely stay here again if we return to Austin!
2521003,33881037,2015-06-01,8550570,Matthew,"The place is fantastic. Exactly what we were looking for. Located on a beautifully quiet residential street yet  it's walking distance from some of the best of what Austin has to offer. 

Billy was beyond accommodating.
From the guest house being stocked with beer, coffee, and TopoChico to his complete understanding / help with our early check-in / late check-out needs.

Billy and his place are the reason why Airbnb > hotels."
2521003,35190833,2015-06-15,35238011,Amanda,"Billy was incredible! My husband, myself and our 9lb dog were traveling cross country and were stopping in Austin for the night. We had a reservation at another house on airbnb that fell through 30 minutes before our arrival in Austin. We reached out to billy and he responded quickly and was eager to help us and get the room ready for us before our arrival. The studio apt was perfect for us! It was so clean and had all of the amenities you would need for a night. He was so accommodating and even had beer and wine in the fridge which we needed after frantically trying to find a new place so quickly. We would definitely stay here again! "
2521003,37432839,2015-07-06,15477,Kirby,Billy's place is quaint and cute. It matches the description exactly. Location is good. It's right around the corner from South Congress and an easy Uber ride to downtown. Billy was also really accommodating. He stocked the fridge with wine and invited us to join his bbq on the 4th. Highly recommended! 
2521003,40874713,2015-08-02,27587278,Leslee,Great area very dog friendly perfect place to stay for a night in Soco via uber or b cycle very close to dog park ... Super friendly Boxers :)! Perfect for a couple 's night in town.
2521003,41049065,2015-08-03,20557196,Marin,Billy and the home were absolutely awesome! My husband and I were able to take a last minute day trip to ATX and we found his posting the night before we wanted to check in. Billy even had other guests staying in the home the night before we wanted to stay and he was so great to get the home turned around for us to stay for the evening. Perfect location to all things Austin making our night and anniversary celebration just that more special! We will most definitely be spending more nights in Billy's home and recommend him and the home to all AirBNB users! 
2521003,43205166,2015-08-17,36960948,Antonio,"Amazing stay at this very cozy, convenient studio.   Couldn't have been happy with our stay in Austin.  Close to everything! Beautiful studio with all amenities!  Would definitely stay again.  "
2521003,45909843,2015-09-06,34151008,Brandon,Great place; great location; great host
2521003,46959418,2015-09-14,42848343,Justin,"The studio that Billy has put together is very cozy. The bed was the best one I've slept on during my vacation to Texas. There is a nice/quiet mini fridge, a/c, and ceiling fan. I'd stay here again in a heart beat. On top of the studio being nice Billy is a pretty relaxed guy and a good host!"
2521003,47235898,2015-09-16,30768459,Hilliard,"Great host and communicator, and great place in excellent condition.  Highly recommend."
2521003,48768920,2015-09-28,4806398,Ivy,"Loved my stay at the studio! I believe the photos don't do it justice - the interior was very cute and cozy, with style to spare. Very very comfy bed with a nice choice of blankets. Kitchenette was well equipped, including a Nespresso.  

Very short and cheap ($4-6 most of the time) Uber to key locations on South Lamar and South Congress.

Billy was a lovely and generous host, with a great Austin vibe! :)

Would definitely stay here again, and as soon as I get the next chance!"
2521003,49761662,2015-10-06,33396302,Matt,"Awesome location, awesome place, awesome host! Perfect place to spend a great weekend in Austin."
2521003,52067115,2015-10-26,7953876,Caleb,"Both Billy and his cute studio were absolutely fantastic. The location is great - close enough to walk downtown (25 minutes) but in a beautiful and charming neighborhood filled with trees and cacti. The space itself is very comfortable - big bathroom, comfy bed and nicely decorated. I felt right at home! Billy was super friendly and made sure to ask me if I needed any help or advice for things to do around town. During my stay it was very rainy, and he went out of his way to dig through the garage to find me one to borrow. Just keep in mind there is no stove/microwave! I ate my morning oats cold, but they were still delicious :-)

Looking forward to getting back to Austin soon and staying again! Thanks Billy!"
2521003,52560393,2015-10-30,30768459,Hilliard,Great place with a considerate and responsible host
2521003,52993467,2015-11-03,6971803,Jarrod,"I would definitely stay here again. A cozy place, comfy bed, and a location that's close to pretty much everything. Highly recommend. Plus Billy is a great host with awesome dogs!"
347802,991865,2012-03-12,1766071,Frank,"Perfect base for SXSW Interactive - there's a bus almost right at the door that takes you downtown in only about 20 minutes for just a buck.
Our hosts could not have been more thoughtful – picked us up at the airport, the fridge was full of food, and there was even some beer!
They've restored the house really well, it's very peaceful and quiet, and the neighbourhood is great – a good coffee shop, a Mexican, a good neighbourhood Italian and a couple of grocery stores all within 2 minutes walk.
If you want to experience a bit of real Austin living, but at the same time be close to the action for music / festivals / conventions, then this is a great choice."
347802,1015633,2012-03-18,1928602,Jason,"This was a wonderful place to stay in an excellent neighborhood!  Ananda  has done a wonderful job of of making the space warm, bright and a joy to be in.  The neigborhood is very quiet yet full of excitement, it has one of the oldest golf courses in the Austin area close by, and though I didn't golf, it was a perfect area to walk through in the evening after a delicious meal in one the restaurants within a couple blocks of the house.  My three boys and I went down for spring break, and had a great time.  Ananda has great attention for the details, the coffee was excellent, fresh, new soap bars, board games and cards to play games in the (website hidden) and X-box was a hit with boys too!  I can't remember how many quick runs for specialty items at the bakery and at the fantastic cheese specialty shop we made, but wow, the salted oatmeal raisin cookies were perfect with coffee! 
We did some sight seeing and attended some of the South By Southwest events and the #7 bus is a 20 second walk and for a couple bucks you can access most of the Austin area very easily.  
I know that I will be staying here the next time I go to Austin!  Highly recommend Ananda's wonderful home even though I would like to keep this gem to myself!"
347802,1046594,2012-03-26,1882443,Yoann,"We loved some much Austin after beeing at SXSW Festival that we decided to stay one more week just for fun and rest. We chose the Bungalow of Dunstan and Ananda for this week and it was the perfect choose for us. 
Do you want to live the real Austin lifestyle in a peaceful neighborhood and quiet neighbourhood ? Don't search elsewhere :) This house is perfectly clean and really quiet. These hosts are very nice and funny. You can find everything you want in HEB which is very close to this home.
So... Don't hesitate to contact them and have a great trip in Austin ^^"
347802,1079311,2012-04-03,485037,Deanna,"The place is super cute and very clean. The neighborhood is adorable, and I'd actually rather stay in Hyde Park than downtown. Lot's to walk to, including restaurants and grocery. Check in and check out were seamless. Ananda checked in and made sure everything was good - I'd recommend this place."
347802,1178991,2012-04-25,2043685,Susan & ManKit,Perfection!!!!!
347802,1211901,2012-05-01,2151918,Matt,"Ananda and Dunstan were great hosts. The bungalow is very comfortable and in a great neighborhood that is adjacent to a golf course. There are a few places to eat within walking distance and the UT campus and downtown are not far away (by bus/car/scooter). For a relaxing weekend or vacation, this bungalow allows you to enjoy Austin and also stretch out a bit and take in a peaceful relaxing, neighborhood feel. I would definitely recommend this bungalow! And, if you're up for it, rent a scooter from (email hidden) check out the city on two wheels."
347802,1249718,2012-05-08,2225006,Catherine,"This was my first time ever using Airbnb and I'm hoping that all experiences will be as awesome going forward.  Ananda and her husband we SO sweet.  The house was incredibly clean (and I'm super super particular) and well decorated.  It was such a comfy, relaxing stay.  Would highly recommend to anyone.  "
347802,1346024,2012-05-25,2175126,Adam,"We had a really good experience.  Hyde Park is a very quiet and pretty neighborhood.  There are nice places to walk including the nearby golf course and up to restaurants and shops just a few blocks away.  The apartment is very spacious and well-appointed.  Ananda and Dunstan are in the back of the property. They are extremely nice people and were very attentive if we needed anything.  Ananda has really thought through how to make the apartment comfortable and it is well-appointed - even with a bit of food and drink.  

Check-in was super-easy and flexible. 

The front porch is a really nice place to hang out.

We definitely recommend this place!"
347802,1377219,2012-05-29,2393809,Richmond,This little bugalow was nestled in a great little part of Hyde Park and was in walking distance of some great neighborhood eateries like Hyde Park Grill and Vino Vino. The accommodations were perfectly suited for what we were looking for in an Austin getaway and had all the amenities you'd expect from a hotel but with the charm only available from a BnB.  We absolutely loved it and will never forget out stay. 
347802,1633243,2012-07-04,2384432,Paul,"Ananda and Dunstan were outstanding hosts.  They were friendly, generous, considerate and they included many nice amenities that made it feel as though I were staying with close friends.  The bungalow was amazing and the location was great.  I sincerely doubt you'll find a better place to stay and I know you will not find better hosts, from the plate of fresh chocolate chip cookies when I checked in to the collection of menus from local eateries, Ananda and Dunstan covered all the bases and made sure everything was taken care of.  I can not wait to get back for another visit!"
347802,1723481,2012-07-16,2749794,Alejandro,"The house was perfect for us. Very clean and in a great location.
The decoration is simple and functional. I have stayed in some rental properties in Austin and this is, by far, the best of all. We will definitely come back to this house."
347802,1822755,2012-07-28,2639787,Anaïs,"Ananda and Dunstan were excellent hosts! They stopped by to see if I needed anything, gifted me some goat milk, since I'd asked advice about where to find some, and even tried to wine and dine me. Unfortunately, my busy schedule while in Austin prevented that, but I totally loved that they were so friendly and open. The house was delightfully decorated, clean, comfortable, and uncluttered. They also provided useful toiletries, and breakfast things, which was really helpful. My sole caveat about this wonderful cottage is that the bed is on the soft side."
347802,1832637,2012-07-29,202038,Berney,"Fine place. Neat as a pin. Right in Hyde Park. Walking distance from a coffee shop, a grocery, and several restaurants. Jogging trail across the street. I'll be staying here again. "
347802,1970792,2012-08-13,2937124,Natalie,"Stop looking for other places to stay in Austin!  Just stay here! You won't find a more beautiful place or neighborhood, I swear!

My stay was an unusual one as I live in Austin, but rented the space for a week to treat myself to a mini artist residency with an open house of sorts for people to view a performance art installation at the end.  The house was so neat and clean, and such a beautiful space to be in!  

Seriously, stay here!"
347802,2485175,2012-10-02,3386016,Toon,"This easily ranks among the best places I've ever rented: clean, comfortable, well-equipped, large enough to fit a whole family (but not too big if you're on your own like I was), and located in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood that's not too far away from downtown. Ananda and Dunstan are the perfect hosts, they will leave you as much space as you like but they're both fun to talk to. Ananda even gave me a ride back to the airport! It took me about twenty minutes to walk to the UT campus and twenty more to get to Sixth Street. It's a fun walk--and there may be places closer by, but I think you'll have a hard time finding another rental as good as this one!"
347802,2634578,2012-10-16,307034,Yesenia,"Ananda & Dunstan were amazing hosts!  The bungalow has plenty of room and was immaculate.  They were quick to respond to questions and came over and introduced themselves.  They even left us a bottle of wine to toast to our first time in Austin!  The location is fantastic, there are bus stops right at the top of the street and there are some great neighborhood cafes and stores 3 blocks away.  We had a comfortable and fun stay in Austin and when we come back, we will definitely be back to stay here!  Thank you Ananda & Dunstan again! "
347802,2763352,2012-10-30,3793114,Teresa,"Ananda's home was PERFECT for my husband and I and our 18 month old son.  In particular, the house was pre-stocked with food and snacks which saved us a trip to the store on our first night there.  With a toddler after a 4 hour plane trip, trust me, these little things matter.  There was even beer in the fridge!  (If I drank beer, I'd be happy about that!)

The home was very clean, comfortable, and uncluttered.  I barely had to do much to make it toddler-friendly.  Our hosts were available when we needed them and very accomodating.  Basically, I don't see any reason to stay anywhere else when we're in Austin - the price for 2 bedroom with a kitchen was half what you'd pay for a nice hotel room and you would not have all the space you have here.  

I sort of forgot I was traveling, the home just felt like some place I could easily come back to and not think too much about.  I would highly recommend Ananda's home for your next trip to Austin if you want a low-key, convenient, comfortable, quiet, clean and accommodating place to stay.  "
347802,2823377,2012-11-07,3372001,Katherine,"The house is beautiful, spacious and truly a home away from home. Our hosts were most hospitable."
347802,2872977,2012-11-12,4093474,Alison,"I would definitely recommend this adorable Hyde Park rental to anyone planning an Austin visit. It was super comfortable and convenient. Plus, in addition to breakfast,cookies and local  craft beer, Ananda set out some great references and restaurant recommendations. We visited Easy Tiger downtown and loved it!"
347802,2939565,2012-11-22,2704289,Gunnar,"A quaint little house in Hyde Park made our stay in Austin for the first Formula 1 race an absolute joy. We were three people so we each had our own bedroom and with a full kitchen we could hang around the house in the mornings rather than go out for breakfast. 

The neighborhood is really nice and with only a 10 minute taxi ride downtown it's very convenient as well. 

Ananda and Dunstan where perfect hosts and everything was provided to make our stay as pleasant as possible."
347802,2970037,2012-11-26,2117600,Kenny,"This house is in excellent shape, the location is great if you want to experience a cool central Austin neighborhood and I would definitely recommend staying here. Good hosting with some light breakfast supplies to get us started and a bottle of wine thoughtfully left for us to enjoy on the porch. Only reason I did not give it five stars was some early morning dog noise that woke us up but I have a feeling that is not a normal occurrence."
347802,3720709,2013-03-08,3460252,Sarah,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Dustan and Ananda's bungalow for 2 months. 
Pros: 
-great communication with the hosts and any issues were resolved in a timely manner
-the space is nice: 2 bedrooms, bathroom, living room, kitchen, and dining room
-great neighborhood: quiet, bus stop across the street. We walked and biked most of the time
-off street parking was always available
-Always functioning wifi and cable
-nice running trail around the golf course, 1/2 block away
Cons: 
-the living room furniture was not very functional for lounging. The couch was small and uncomfortable.
-no outlets in the bathroom
-the shower head was low with low water pressure. 
-we couldn't quite figure out the layout behind the bungalow, but you do share the back wall/door with the hosts so it doesn't feel as private when you can hear the commotion and smell the cooking on the other side
-I don't know if it was just when we were guests, but there was constant laundry going on, which seemed to limit the hot water. The laundry room shares the wall with the kitchen

All in all, great place to stay if you're visiting Austin"
347802,3787198,2013-03-15,1978754,Ryland,"This is a charming little place that is bright and very clean. We stayed for SXSW and it worked out great. I was surprised by how easy it is to jump on a bus to downtown Austin. Only $1 and you are downtown in something like 15 minutes for less than a block away (a cab from 6th street is under $15).

When we had an issue with the internet, Dunstan was on the case in 5 minutes time and got it sorted right out. It was never an issue again. It was also super nice of them to leave some snacks and Shiners in the place for us. Would definitely consider staying here again!"
347802,3864327,2013-03-22,5389924,Alma,"We loved this house and the area. However, the house manual said they offer breakfast basics and some snacks, and we did not find anything, we were expecting at least coffee to make it in the coffee pot. House was clean and well maintained. Nice place to stay."
347802,4306723,2013-04-26,1185490,Henna,"This space was awesome, Ananda & Dustan were great communicators and the place was easy to check in and out of. Location very nice and convenient to get to cool stuff in town. "
347802,4336779,2013-04-29,5132789,Mariya,"We really enjoyed our stay at this house. The neighborhood is really quite with plenty of good coffee shops and restaurant. The house was really clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts provided some breakfast items, coffee, and even wine for us to enjoy. "
347802,4493937,2013-05-08,702386,Ellen,"We loved this place! Great location, clean, and pretty. Highly recommended."
347802,4659836,2013-05-19,5270925,Michael,all good
347802,4804184,2013-05-27,5160978,Jacob,"Ananda & Dunstan have a beautiful home and made our stay in Austin wonderful. Five of us had plenty of room and were very comfortable here. The house is well maintained and very clean. The location was great and we all enjoyed walking up the block to Dolce Vita and Julio's. They provided plenty of information on local transportation and entertainment. We also greatly appreciated the coffee, breakfast snacks, and bottle of wine they left for us.
Would definitely stay here again."
347802,4869813,2013-05-29,6537512,Ann,"Amanda and Dunstan have a nice place -- clean, spacious and convenient. As others mentioned, we appreciated the bottle of wine, especially because we arrived late. The coffee was better than most we had on our trip. The couch is not particularly comfortable, but the beds are. Note that you can get on all-day bus pass for only $2, and can get it when you board the bus. Both the #7 & #10 are nearby and will get you downtown. "
347802,4961512,2013-06-04,1596544,Garett,"My friends and I spent a long weekend here.  The house was clean and comfortable, and was located in a very nice neighborhood."
347802,6624120,2013-08-19,1394683,Christopher & Brian,"Very great location for me.  Comfortable, charming, clean home with easy access to central Austin and easy parking.  Living in Austin for 8 years, this to me is a quintessential sleepy, yet vibrant Austin neighborhood--tree lined, sunny Bungalow filled, friendly scene that is residential with quick access to other amenities. This retreat is attached to the main house so you share a wall but I was comfortable with that.  Hosts were pleasant and available. All and all a great experience. "
347802,7048626,2013-09-04,8279955,Brandy,Thanks for having us!  We had a great time in Austin and the house was just what we needed :D
347802,7261714,2013-09-13,8521896,Robin,"Perfect location for us -- restaurants, grocery, and church were all walkable within a lovely neighborhood.   UT not far.  The house was clean and charming.  The hosts  left us a bottle of wine and some breakfast staples which were much appreciated.   Ananda and Dustin were attentive and responsive to our needs."
347802,7334094,2013-09-16,561392,Lucas,"We really enjoyed our stay, it was a great bargain. It was also fantastic location, and very responsive hosts! We would definitely recommend!"
347802,7712751,2013-09-30,8690361,Joe,"I'll start off by saying that most 5 star reviews are due to a lack of effort of the reviewer's part. This is not the case for my review. I would have given 4 stars for a clean, comfortable and affordable stay in this house. The 5th star was earned by Ananda being a very gracious host; more on that below.

This is a quaint bungalow in a very scenic and active neighborhood, reminiscent of my native Houston Heights. Due to a tipped over crane at my job, my friends and I arrived at the house around 1 am! No worries though, the door has a keyless entry via security code that was sent to me earlier that day. Disaster #1 averted thanks to owner :)

My time in Austin was filled with a start up conference, which ran WAY later than expected during the last day of my trip. Ananda assured me that my group could leave our bags in the house until the conference was over and had no complaints when the conference ran until 7pm... I don't know any hotels that gracious.

I'll be checking availability here on my next trip to Austin."
347802,7864094,2013-10-06,5165803,Jennie,"We had a wonderful stay at this pleasant, comfortable home, which is a short walk to Mother's Cafe, Antonelli's Cheese Shop, and Quack's Bakery, all of which we enjoyed.  The hosts were delightful and at the ready to answer any questions we had.  "
347802,7969841,2013-10-10,3610285,Kristen,"An absolute delight. You really should stay here if you're in Austin. I stayed in the bungalow for 3 nights with a colleague when we were in town for the SXSW Eco conference. The house is LOVELY, charming and incredibly comfortable, located in a charming leafy neighborhood. There's a bunch of charming cafes and restaurants about a block away, and the neighborhood is wonderful for a morning run. The stop for the #7 bus into downtown is right around the corner and incredibly easy and convenient. Ananda and Dunstan are accommodating, easy to reach by email, and were kind enough to let us leave our luggage at the house during the day before our late night flight. And they compost!! 

All in all this was wonderful experience, and I will DEFINITELY stay with Ananda and Dunstan when I'm in Austin again. Thanks to you both! :) "
347802,8325340,2013-10-26,7669168,Daniel,"My wife, baby, and I stayed here for 5 nights. It is a very comfortable, homey bungalow in an ideal location for access to downtown and central Austin. We loved the full kitchen, comfortable beds, Roku, and quiet street within walking distance to a few coffee shops. A few mornings, I went out running around the golf course situated no more than 100 feet from the front door. Ananda and Dunstan were incredibly responsive, helpful, and generous. Case in point: After the internet had gone out one evening, leaving us without streaming Netflix (which we depend on after the baby goes to sleep), Ananda brought us a gift card to a local bakery up the street to say sorry for the snafu. All in all, we could not have asked for a better place to stay."
347802,8429851,2013-10-30,4290121,Christopher,"We stayed in this house for 4 nights, and it was a wonderful experience. The house itself is very spacious with a good deal of helpful information at your fingertips, whether it be a map, some flyers from local restaurants, or the wonderful recommendations from the extremely helpful Ananda and Dunstan. 

We were quite fond of the ceiling fans in each room and having a fully functioning house, so if you wanted to cook in or simply break open a bottle of wine and play games, you could with ease. The two bedrooms are separated by a bathroom, so you have your privacy. Having a Roku in the living room was wonderful for when we just wanted to relax and catch up on a show or two. 

We often found ourselves walking up the street to have a nightcap or to grab a few groceries. If you need to drive (although a bus is just up the street) to downtown Austin, it takes about 7 minutes or so. We did this each and every day, and still were able to pop home for some downtime before going out for more activities. 

The combination of the house itself, the wonderful hosts, and the fantastic location, we would definitely love to stay here again.  "
347802,8521267,2013-11-04,8653976,Amanda,"Stylish, spacious, and conveniently located guest house.  Ananda and Dunstan were really accommodating!"
347802,8794472,2013-11-18,9712277,Sarah,My friend and I rented this bungalow for 4 nights. This place is super cute and had everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable.  Great location.
347802,8886955,2013-11-24,9718218,Adam,"Excellent! Great place, great location, great hosts! We couldn't have asked for anything else and if we did, I'm sure Ananda and Dunstan would have provided it. Highly recommended!  "
347802,8981766,2013-11-30,9726471,Travis,"Nice, neat and convenient house in Hyde Park, just north of UT campus. Ample amount of space for four guests. Enjoyed our two day stay there. Would recommend to others and also use again personally."
347802,9071958,2013-12-04,660535,Tim,"Great, responsive hosts and a very good place to stay when visiting Austin. I rented this for my girlfriend's parents who were visiting us and they loved it. It's within walking distance of multiple cafes and restaurants, and the location is on a quiet street lined with trees. It even has a front porch where you can sit with your morning coffee (or evening wine). The house itself was clean, nicely decorated,  and well stocked with the things you need. Great rental. Highly recommended. "
347802,9241204,2013-12-16,9587156,Pim,"This Hyde Park Bungalow is a fantastic place to stay in Austin. It has all the space and comfort you need. Both Campus (25 mins) and Downtown (40 mins) are within walking distance, or you can take a bus and get there even faster. The Hyde Park area is also very nice and quiet, with a couple of restaurants and a supermarket nearby on Duval Street. Perhaps the most wonderful thing about this place is the great owners. Ananda and Dunstan are very friendly and eager to help out. Be sure to say hi to their dogs!   "
347802,10202672,2014-02-06,9013548,Ora,"We stayed at the house for a whole month and had a wonderful experience. The house is very cute and well equipped for cooking and having company. The beds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of hot water. The location is great, residential,  but close to UT and downtown. We actually walked to UT everyday. We loved sitting on the front porch with a glass of wine watching the sunset.
Ananda and Dunstan were great hosts. They responded to our requests or questions right away, and had a lot of good information.
We will not hesitate to stay there again, and highly recommend the place.
Thanks Ananda and Dunstan

347802,10680030,2014-03-03,4925089,Estella,"We, my parents, boyfriend and I, enjoyed our stay here! We were comfortable at all times. This is a very quiet neighborhood and I love the fact that there was tons of people running for exercise. It definitely got my boyfriend out there. My mom is a clean freak and was impressed on how clean it was! We did some cooking in the house and had everything we needed. Definitely will stay again.
"
347802,10937592,2014-03-14,2187119,Janaina,"Ananda and Dunstan are two incredible people, that gave us a great reception.
The house is amazing, a really good place to be during the SXSW festival, we're downtown is a little bit crazy, and the traffic is a mess.
Thank you guys! See you and Bo and Bela next year!

Best,

Jana

Hyde Park is a nice and quiet part of town, but very close to all the sights Austin has to offer. Ananda and Dunstan were great and very nice!"
347802,11629766,2014-04-09,13887009,Lori,Great location and comfortable diggs! Just stayed the night. It is so great to be able to find a place that will just let you stay one night. Easy checkin and checkout. 
347802,11796159,2014-04-15,7121567,Jaime,"The Hyde Park Bungalow was perfect for our stay.  The house is well appointed in Austin, it is very easy to get to local destinations.  The house is very quiet and in a nice walking neighborhood.  Within a half of a mile there are restaurants, coffee shops and major grocery stores.  The beds are comfortable and the porch is very nice to hang out on in the morning and evenings.  The hosts are respectful and were very accommodating to the few requests that we had.  I will stay here again when we are in Austin!"

347802,12884298,2014-05-13,5015336,Theresa,"I got to Austin and Amanda and Dunstan had gone out of town for a family matter.
I'm very sorry I never got to thank them in person for allowing me to stay at their lovely home.  The house was so nice, clean and comfortable.  In addition to the wi-fi, digital TV, the kitchen had all the pots, pans and utensils you could think of. I had a very nice time and would definitely stay there again and have already recommend it to some friends. It's a great place to stay for anyone looking for a quite, local taste of Austin."
347802,13064471,2014-05-19,11885211,Shayani,"My parents stayed there for 3 nights and they highly recommend the place. The house was comfortable and the neighbourhood very convenient - good connectivity by bus and  close to the grocery store and some restaurants. Everything was in good working condition in the house. Ananda and Dunstan are very friendly and welcoming. The place is very comfortable for 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 children to stay. If necessary, 4 adults can be accommodated as well. "
347802,13663868,2014-06-02,5927377,Joshua,"Very comfortable, nicely-appointed house in a nice quiet location near lots of great Austin stuff."

A couple evenings we walked to a local spot for dinner.  The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed.  We really hope to stay at Ananda and Dunstan's place again because it was just lovely!
347802,15301286,2014-07-07,11737921,Wende,"We had a great stay at Ananda and Dunstan's bungalow in Hyde Park.  The location was great, it was away from the ""city"" enough and in a very quiet setting.  Yet close enough to be in the heart of Austin within 10 minutes.  Would definitely stay there again, if we return to Austin.  My 16 year old and his friend attended the RTX convention while we were there.  One slept in the bedroom, the other slept in the living room.  My younger son and I slept in the 2nd bedroom.  Easily enough room for 4 people."
347802,15431393,2014-07-08,17422294,Whitney,it was such a sweet house and we really loved how close it was to the park.  Felt welcomed and loved the 2pm check-in so we could get settled before our afternoon commitments. 
347802,16547134,2014-07-29,15020894,Cyrus,I came here with my wife and another couple for an Austin weekend and had a fantastic time! The accommodations were very comfortable and had everything we needed to feel at home and on vacation at the same time. The place was clean and well kept and perfect for a long-weekend get away. I've already recommended this spot to others and look forward to visiting again soon!

347802,18632861,2014-08-29,937309,Robin,"I LOVED staying here. It was a perfect location in the lovely, quiet, picturesque Hyde Park neighborhood right down the street from my favorite Austin restaurant, Mother's. The apartment was spotless and lovingly decorated and had the required vacation-in-the-South front porch.

Ananda and Dunstan were really lovely hosts - fun to chat with in passing and easy to connect with about check out. "
347802,18794783,2014-09-01,17082499,Ed,"House was very clean and comfortable for us. Very nice quiet neighborhood with a coffee shop, bakery, grocery store, and restaurants within waling distance. A very nice experience for the first time using Air B&B."

347802,19139287,2014-09-07,7543336,MArine,This little house was perfect for our stay in Austin. We were central to the main area we wanted to visit. The house was perfectly clean and well decorated. We even found great board games and video games. Thank you for everything
347802,19540206,2014-09-14,858202,Lisa,"We had a great stay at Dunstan and Ananda's very cute bungalow in a quiet neighborhood in Austin.  It's right across the street from a running trail and there are a few amazing restaurants just down the street--Julio's Cafe and the Quack Bakery were both amazing.

The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable.  I'd definitely stay again!"
347802,19737310,2014-09-17,18748524,Stephanie,Great house!! Good location and perfect for a weekend getaway in Austin. Loved the decor and the homey feel. 
347802,20014292,2014-09-22,5334949,Jenny,"We absolutely loved this little bungalow. It was in a perfect location. We were able to get downtown in less that 10 minutes. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere was so cozy. My husband and I stayed here with a friend and everyone had plenty of space! I loved the key less entry because it meant we didn't have to worry about keeping up with a key. 

I would recommend this bungalow for to anyone that is going to Austin that wants to be centrally located and stay in a quiet, safe neighborhood. It was very close to excellent restaurants and some really cute vintage shops! I hope to come back soon!"
347802,20215728,2014-09-25,21559007,Anand,"Amanda & Dunstan's bungalo was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. We met Ananda the first night, she was enthusiastic to make recommendations and very welcoming. Ananda and Dunstan wanted to make sure that our stay was comfortable and relaxing and that we were enjoying Austin. The neighborhood is perfect! H-E-B is right around the corner, Dolce Vita and Hyde Park bar and Grill are within walking distance and it's an uber ride about $10-15 to east six street.  We had a great stay and would stay again."
347802,20271079,2014-09-26,12156835,Stuart,Really easy place and perfect for what I needed. Thanks guys!

347802,20623806,2014-10-02,5357987,Logan,"This place was great. There was ample space, and everything was very clean. Everything you could possible need is provided. Such a convenient location, while still being pretty quiet and secure. There is ample street side parking to make a car no hassle at all."
347802,20810796,2014-10-06,14846731,Thuy,"We stayed here for ACL weekend and it was perfect.  A party of 4 can stay here comfortably and have their own space. This is a much better option than getting a hotel room for a weekend.   Ananda was out of town but Dunstan came by to check on us to be sure all was well. This place is affordable, has everything you need and is close to local restaurants.  An Uber ride to Zilker Park cost about $15 for those that are wondering.    I would definitely recommend staying here.  We will use them again for future visits to Austin. "
347802,20979713,2014-10-08,15922228,Shirley,My stay with Ananda and Dunstan was really pleasant. The area is quiet and their place is really cozy. The sheets were the softest I've ever slept on. The internet and Roku box worked great. The neighborhood is super safe. I rode my bike and walked around at night and never felt uncomfortable. There's a Juiceland 5 blocks away and delicious Mexican food 3 blocks away across from a bus stop. Overall it was a great way to experience a real Austin neighborhood. 
347802,21120497,2014-10-12,16152892,Michael,"Our stay was great and the house was just what we wanted.  The neighborhood was lovely and quiet, but not too far from anywhere we were going.  The hosts accommodated our request for early check-in so that our baby could have a midday nap after a morning of traveling.  It was definitely more comfortable than any hotel we could have stayed in, especially for our family of 4.  We would stay here again on future visits to Austin!"
347802,21245873,2014-10-13,9338947,Laura,Ananda & Dunstan's house was great for our trip to Austin. The house is very cute and peaceful and it is close to everything. I would strongly recommend other people to stay. 
347802,22288471,2014-11-03,6156216,Iain,"Great place, accurately described. In a fantastic little neighborhood. We happened to be there during Halloween and Ananda was able to give us some great tips for trick or treating locations in the neighborhood which were really awesome for our 7 yr old. Very cozy setup in an ideal location for downtown."
347802,22465054,2014-11-07,6342079,Andrew,"The house was great, and although we were only there in the evenings, the neighborhood was quiet and everything inside was clean and comfortable.  As everyone else has mentioned, the house is conveniently located so it wasn't hard to find good food, groceries, bars, etc nearby.  "
347802,22842420,2014-11-16,11957364,Wei,房源地处很方便的、安静的、环境优美的区域：离房屋50米就是高尔夫球场，900米就是24小时开门的超市HEB，离UTA不过5分钟车程，而且，紧临35号高速，开车出行非常方便。我们非常顺利地入住了房间、房间所有配置就和介绍的一样，很温馨，到家的感觉！
347802,23007523,2014-11-20,6321852,Jerry & Marjie,We enjoyed our visit to Austin.  This quaint cottage offering apartment size space offered everything we needed in a quiet neighborhood.  It was close to the things we were anxious to explore in the city. A stones throw from the university district with easy access to south Congress  and the newly developing east arts community 
347802,23134158,2014-11-23,3285968,Jenni,"Great hosts who provide lots of information. The house is located in a great Austin neighborhood. Clean, comfortable and great communication! "
347802,23677927,2014-12-08,7706063,Amory,Ananda and Dunstan were superb hosts- their place was exactly as described-spottlessly clean and amazingly adorable.  If you go to Austin this is the perfect spot to stay!!
347802,24136695,2014-12-21,721568,Eric,"Great house! Well-appointed in an excellent location next to the Hancock Golf Course. An Uber to downtown cost about $12. Keyless entry via keypad (so no fumbling with keys, very convenient) and plenty of street parking. I really enjoyed staying at Ananda and Dunstan's house and can give it my highest recommendation."
347802,24943598,2015-01-04,21576617,Sandy,"We really enjoyed our 6 nights at Ananda and Dunstan's ""Hyde Park Bungalow"". The house was in a great neighborhood with a small grocery store and several good restaurants nearby. The house was cozy and clean with plenty of space to spread out and a nice dining and kitchen area. Both Ananda and Dunstan were so helpful. We would definitely book here again. "
347802,25482498,2015-01-17,5003915,Eva,"Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed staying at Ananda and Dunstan's place in Hyde Park.
We love Hyde Park and this place a lovely location right by the little golf course. 
We didn't get to meet Ananda on this trip, Dunstan was warm and friendly in all our interactions and it was a pleasure to meet him.
The place felt like a total home to us and the kitchen was well equipped even with a juicer. The shower is good, too and if we hadn't had all our toiletries, we would have been totally fine because of all the things in the bathroom closet to use.
We only used one of the bedrooms and slept really well there.
The place was pretty and clean and just felt really good. We would totally stay here again.
"
347802,25603270,2015-01-20,6675393,Mariel,"Dunstan was very nice and accommodating. The house was spotless and spacious. My friend and I had a great time there! The only thing I'd mention is if you're a light sleeper, it's hard to sleep because the dog barks in the morning. "
347802,25717564,2015-01-24,24401718,Deborah,"We stayed Ananda and Dunsten's bungalow on our recent visit to Austin.  It is exactly as picture-very comfortable.  Hyde Park is very accessible to downtown, I-35, UT, Lamar, and Mopac.  Very central location.  I would highly recommend it!  Ananda has a list of local coffee shop, laundry facility, etc on the fridge.  All within walking distance. "
347802,26013163,2015-02-01,1851319,Lydia,"My husband, mother in law and son stayed Ananda and Dunsten's bungalow in late Jan. We ran into Amanda and she was friendly Dunsten stopped in one day to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was nice a lot of light and cozy. We liked how we were in so close to the golf course (we took out toddler on walks around the course). However, the door connecting the bathroom to the back bedroom does not shut properly. Besides that Great place!"
347802,27129990,2015-02-26,9049895,Sommer,The bungalow was great. Perfect location. It had everything we needed. Ananda & Dunstan also went out of their way to accommodate our two-year-old's nap time (running the washing machine & dryer after she woke up).   
347802,27508212,2015-03-06,6628407,Jeffrey,"Ananda and Dustan communicated very well throughout the process. They provided the entry code to the house by text message the day we arrived, which simplified checking in. The house is in a fantastic location in Hyde Park, and is cozy and clean. They provide coffee, which is a big plus for me personally. The stay was enjoyable."
347802,27760991,2015-03-11,26351650,Daria,"Our family of 4 enjoyed 5 nights at Ananda and Dunstan's house in Hyde Park.  The location was ideal for us, as it was walking distance to a grocery store and to several restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the recreation center at the nearby golf course, which provided indoor activities for the kids on several rainy days.  The house is very clean and the kitchen is well-equipped. The Wi-fi worked very well, and the Roku box was a nice addition, especially for the rainy days during our stay. Ananda responded to inquiries very promptly.  We would not hesitate to stay at Ananda and Dunstan's house again on future trips to Austin."
347802,28872746,2015-03-31,3814076,Deborah,Responded immediately to messages. Stopped by to make sure all was in order. Made sure we knew where things were located. 
347802,29270181,2015-04-06,2884496,Kim,"Lovely home and terrific location!
We loved staying at Ananda & Dunstan's home - it was cozy, comfortable, and the location was ideal. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet, and easy to walk or bike or get around to central Austin. Ananda and Dunstan were great (and their dogs are very sweet), and they were really sweet with our 3-year-old; Dunstan even brought her a cupcake on Easter. We will absolutely recommend this home to anyone traveling to Austin, and hope to be back!"
347802,29762265,2015-04-12,29531188,Michael,We had a wonderful experience with Ananda and Dunstan.  The bungalow was perfect and immaculately kept. Arrangements and entry were seamless.    The little bungalow was well equipped with everything you could need. Nice restaurants and shops for food etc were just steps away.  It's a  wonderful little neighborhood  close to everything Ananda and Dunstan were available and attentive but also laid back.  We plan on returning there whenever we come to Austin.  And we love the dogs who were fun but didn't disturb us a bit. 
347802,30005119,2015-04-15,5390147,Jena,"Really enjoyed this sweet space. Quiet, relaxing and had everything that I needed. Ananda and Dustan both dropped by to introduce themselves and make me feel welcome. Great location. I used a car2go the four days that I was there and found one easily within walking distance.  "
347802,30703548,2015-04-26,2945311,Loraine,"Our experience was great. Ananda and Dunstun was very prompt in their responses, and did not mind us arriving from Houston later in the evening. The bungalow was clean and cute as described. Their listing really helped my boyfriend and I put into perspective what house size to search for in the future. We really like the short walking distance to Quacks bakery and our usual spots. Even though we only stayed one night, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
347802,31306829,2015-05-04,281665,Shannon,Great location and wonderful host.  Would Stay here any time I return to Austin.  The house is charming and very clean.  Ananda and Dunstan were both friendly and easy to communicate with.
347802,32822281,2015-05-22,30360564,Jill,"House was charming and wonderful and quite spacious; loved the dining room with it's built-in granite top work space that also functions as a coffee bar. The whole place was extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was fantastic- beautiful with great dining spots and close to hot spots and shopping. But as fantastic as all this was, the hosts were what made the stay special. They were patient and helpful with my husband's serious handicaps; they were interesting and fun to talk to - full of energy and humor, but never intrusive and always careful to give us plenty of space. Whole stay was fantastic. If I could give 10 stars, I would."
347802,33135134,2015-05-25,1852216,Maggie,We enjoyed Ananda and Dunstan's place. Really charming neighborhood and very clean accommodations. Hosts were quick to respond via text message. Beds weren't too comfy but were ok. Good option for central location in Austin!
347802,34436883,2015-06-08,32005373,Danielle,I just got home from my trip to Austin and I had such a great time! Ananda and Dustan's place was perfect for the four of us. It was well kept and had everything we needed. There are a bunch of great places to eat just walking distance or a short drive away.
347802,35539653,2015-06-20,14255368,Catherine,"Another great stay with Ananda and Dunstan in a lovely bungalow in Hyde Park.  Our hosts were friendly and very responsive to our requests.  The absolutely perfect Austin pied-à-terre! 

Thanks!"
347802,36813194,2015-07-01,3742545,Andrea,"We had a great stay! The house was comfortable and cute, the neighborhood was lovely, the porch was amazing for Austin's hot summer evenings, and Dunstan was super helpful and responsive when we had trouble with the keyless entry. (It was very easy once we figured it out.) We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends."
347802,37466576,2015-07-07,33069192,Keenan,"We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The house was even prettier than the pictures and our hosts were VERY accommodating (when I asked if there was an iron in the rental they brought over a brand new iron and ironing board). They also have very cute, friendly dogs in the gated-in area behind the house, which was a big plus. There were good coffee shops/restaurants in walking distance from the house, and Uber/Lyft rides to Downtown Austin were very affordable. Would definitely recommend. "
347802,38065687,2015-07-12,1036925,Jasmine,In the cutest neighborhood you will find this bungalow. There were four of us and we all agreed it was charming and clean. Perfectly located (close enough yet far enough). Also something that was important to us was the safety of the neighborhood and it was perfect and very quiet. I would stay here again!
347802,39538944,2015-07-24,37670118,Kamal,we got what was described..
347802,40651192,2015-08-01,6906121,Cassie,"This was a fantastic place to stay - everything was true to the pictures. It had everything you could want - in addition to the upgraded kitchen, it had a dining room, two bedrooms, and a good sized bathroom. Checking in was no problem due to their keyless system, so our late arrival didn't disturb anyone. The house came supplied with even the little things, like an iron and ironing board and some toiletries. It was a short drive away from the University and night life (about a 15 min drive, or a $10 Uber ride). The house was also walking distance from a park/golf course and coffee shops. You can't beat the price for the location and amount of space this place has. I only wish we could've stayed longer!"
347802,41888192,2015-08-09,34354648,Jacqueline,"The listing description couldn't have been more accurate. It really is about just a 10min drive away from Downtown, meaning a very affordable Uber ride. This bungalow is located in a quiet, but friendly, neighborhood in Austin. It was very clean and cozy, perfect for a girls weekend. The hosts weren't in town, but we were able to meet someone who was dogsitting for them and he was really helpful in suggesting places to eat in the area. Having stayed in the noisy South Congress area before, I would much rather stay in Hyde Park any day. If I come back to Austin, I would come back to this bungalow! 
"
347802,43400709,2015-08-19,34926656,Yuan,"It was a perfect gateway for us! My partner and I had always stayed around Downtown on the previous visits; but we were delighted to find such a charming neighbourhood. The bungalow was exactly as described - cute and comfortable! Lots of useful information is provided to help the guests settle. The location is superb (especially for those travelling without a car) - 3 mins walk to the nearest bus stop and less than 10 mins stroll to the local restaurants, cafes and supermarket. Amanda and Dunstan were really helpful and prompt at responding to our requests. All in all it was a great start to our Airbnb experience! And, we look forward to staying with Amanda and Dunstan again on our next visit!   "
347802,44613431,2015-08-27,28372701,Patrick,"We had a wonderful time staying at Dunstan and Ananda's place. We spent 3 nights there and found the house to be clean, cozy, comfortable, and impeccably decorated. As a bonus, they have two AWESOME dogs. The only con that we found was that we weren't staying there longer."
347802,45971845,2015-09-07,16441737,Shannon,"Great location! Games! Books! Toiletries! Towel aplenty! Dunstan and Ananda were very kind. There is a nice running trail around the golf course. We only stayed for a few days, but we wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended."
347802,47405026,2015-09-18,8511676,Mayur,Cute bungalow. Quite neighborhood.  
347802,47671534,2015-09-21,38206372,Valerie,"Dunstan and Ananda were responsive and extremely helpful both before and during our stay. They allowed us to check in a bit early since we landed before check-in time. The house is charming and clean, in a beautiful neighborhood and close to all of the action in the downtown area. We would highly recommend staying here, and would gladly stay again on future visits!"
347802,48522321,2015-09-27,34228776,Zac,The host were perfect in having the home all in order and cleaned prior to our arrival. Ananda was very gracious in giving me local places within walking distance that were great restaurants..over my experience with was 
347802,49587548,2015-10-05,27319878,Alicia,We came to the bungalow for ACL and it was perfect for two couples. The space had everything we needed during the weekend and it was a really easy commute (we used a lot of Ubers) to the fest and to the downtown areas. We especially appreciated the leftover beers in teh fridge when we arrived - we paid it forward too! I'd definitely recommend staying here and we look forward to coming back on our next visit to ATX! :)
347802,51113376,2015-10-18,398483,Bonnie,"The bungalow was the perfect place to stay during Parent's Weekend at UT. Just north of campus in a lovely and peaceful neighborhood with lots of green space nearby and my favorite vegetarian cafe down the road on Duval. The house was pretty, clean, light-filled and quiet. Everything we needed was there (great towels and linens!) and the porch was the perfect place to drink the very good coffee that Ananda and Dunstan provided. Thanks so much! We will be back!"
5705904,28754468,2015-03-29,29657253,Mary,Trey is awesome he is very helpful :)
5705904,30742143,2015-04-26,25937001,Billy,"Trey was a wonderful host. He was able to accommodate a last minute booking at another location when our original request was taken. Was traveling with 4 other girls and they kept yapping about blowdryers, shampoos, conditioners, body washes etc. Etc. Trey quickly provided these amenities even though it was late at night. The location was perfect, very close to Congress and 10minute Uber from 6th street. To describe the house in one word- it's very... ""Austin"". If it were anywhere else some might call it odd but it being ATX and the vibrant culture, the house found its nook. Would definitely book with Trey again when we drop by town."
5705904,31215845,2015-05-03,14631175,Bernabe,Great house and great location. Trey was very helpful and a great host. Would definitely come back.
5705904,35282194,2015-06-16,3448597,Ryan And Charlie,"We had a good time with our one night in Austin. This place has the vibe of an artist studio that doubles as a house. Great location. It is located in a cute quiet old neighborhood only a minute from the busy downtown area. Very close to bat bridge. We did a bike ride to the bridge but be warned there are very steep hills you have overcome to get there. The place has a unique funky Austin feel. The house is comfy and our party of 6 had plenty of space. 
Only have a one complaint that there was basically no toilet paper in the house which was not a good thing to discover in the middle of the night while feeling sick :( However I accept part of the blame due to our very very (less than an hour) short notice of reservation and arrival. I would stay here again. 
Trey was a great host. We booked the place less than an hour before our arrival and he was very accommodating. We were one bike short for our group and he had one we could use. We also had a flat bike tire upon arrival and he brought us an air pump. Overall a great experience"
5705904,35533566,2015-06-19,8512511,Charles,We booked this place extremely short notice - like an hour and a half before arrival. trey was awesome! The place is amazing! Can't recommend it enough! Really nice set up inside + nice outside patio. Shame we aren't staying for longer! Probably one of my favourite places I have stayed through airbnb 
5705904,37318885,2015-07-06,33258910,Harpreet,"Trey was very welcoming, and always ensured he tried to resolve any issues we had quickly. The accommodation was as described and as shown in the pictures. The Garden was very wild when we arrived but was sorted during our stay. The neighbourhood was excellent and was only 5 mins away from South Congress. One issue with the accommodation was when calling ubers they always seemed to get confused so it's best to put your location as academy Drive when calling one"
5705904,49467386,2015-10-04,42486126,Drew,Trey did a fantastic job at getting the house ready for my group of friends before the ACL Music Festival!  Everything went very smoothly and Trey was on top of it all.  We had a great time in Austin and the Airbnb experience couldn't have been better.  
5705904,50300615,2015-10-11,31213053,Jogesh,The place was very quaint and very comfortable.  Trey was very responsive to any needs we had.  A very Austin-esque type place. Would stay there again.
5705904,50480551,2015-10-12,14513198,Joshua,Stayed at Trey's home for Austin City Limits. Was a great place to rest after the festival and fairly centrally located. All my interactions with Trey were pleasant and he responded to all of our questions quickly. Would definitely book again!
5705904,51197337,2015-10-18,37777836,Ted,"Our experience here was a great one. The area is perfect representative of the city, super fun, hip, and nice. The place we stayed had lots of room, really clean, and perfect location to get around your favorite places in Austin. "
5705904,52220255,2015-10-27,42426528,Heather,trey and the gang were incredibly helpful / a pleasure to speak to. house/loft was great and the location was amazing. would definitely stay here again. 
1709478,13685239,2014-06-02,3495378,Margaret,"We were a group of 4 couples and the hose was just right! Lots of space, great beds in every room, large and comfy living room and a great deck in the yard. The location can't be beat (so close to SoCo) and the photos don't do the house justice. To top it off, booking in with Adam was easy and he was responsive to queries."
1709478,30678029,2015-04-26,22522706,Karen,"The home is in a wonderful walkable area where we checked off some of the must do’s in South Congress.  The home has 4 real beds (full or larger) which were prefect for our girls getaway weekend. The home is updated with an open floor plan and has also preserved the natural charm of a cottage.  The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were bright. The home is clean, well stocked with plenty of white towels, spacious, and well decorated. We loved the L-shaped couch which allowed us to gather and enjoy the living space while listing to music.  There is a washer and dryer which would be great for families or for travelers who want to pack light. There are plenty of speakers by the TV to add to the music ambiance as we relaxed in the home and wifi was fast and strong enough for all of us to stream our music. 

Neighborhood walkable highlights: Tom’s shoes & coffee, Kendra Scott flagship store, Jo’s (Iced Turbo coffee), Snack bar, Continental Club, Amy's, healthy grocery story, Guero’s Taco bar, and Magnolia’s 24 hour diner.  We ubered everywhere from here within a very reasonable fare exploring ATX since we did not rent a car.  

We met the husband and wife host who were very friendly and took the time to set up the Pandora music from the Blue-Ray.  We felt safe in the community and loved the Austin charm of the home.   In addition, it was great to stay with an experienced host and would highly recommend this home to any families or large groups.  

Thank you for allowing us to be guests in your home, we hope to visit your wonderful city again and hope your calendar is open.

158398,2912138,2012-11-19,2738923,Patrick,"I came to Austin for the inaugural Formula 1 race at COTA in November 2012.  I rented the house from Thursday through Sunday and it could not have been better.  The location was wonderful as it was convenient to downtown, the racetrack, and the airport.  Upon arriving the house was immaculately clean and well sorted.  The owners provided free wifi and many other touches that you would expect at a hotel.  Further, they went above and beyond the call to ensure that we were comfortable.  The house has three bedrooms and 2.5 baths.  There was more than enough room for our three guests.  The owners were very easy to deal with and had excellent communication. "
158398,8093033,2013-10-15,8817943,Michael,The house is in a great location.  Very close to Zilker and also South Lamar.  We had a great time at Lis & her family's home.  She was very willing to adjust her schedule for us to pick up the keys.  We will definitely be considering staying here again next year.   
158398,13072133,2014-05-19,13010305,Sangeeta,What a lovely home and such gracious hosts! Very well kept and beautiful area. The courtyard and rock water fountain made the stay even more enjoyable. All my family wanted to build a home just like it!
158398,13647945,2014-06-02,5724775,Andrew,"We had a great stay at Lis' house during our visit to Austin. The house is wonderful -- roomy, beautifully decorated, and clean. With lots of bedrooms and spaces for gathering, it was perfect for our group of family to stay together. The courtyard is especially great -- very peaceful. The location is also convenient to most of the major attractions in the city as well as food and nightlife. Lis was a fantastic host -- she welcomed us and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Her communication was excellent. We *highly* recommend this listing!"
158398,18891441,2014-09-02,18088932,M,"We were in Austin for our daughter's wedding.  The location of the home, the ease of getting to and from the wedding venue, and, or course, the property itself all made what was a wonderful weekend, even better.  Liz met us when we arrived, gave us a tour, and made us feel very welcome. 

There were five adults and two children in our party, and we were all comfortable in the home's extensive living spaces.  The courtyard was an added bonus, since the kids could safely entertain themselves there while we were completing last minute wedding preparations.  The on-line picture of the back room does not do it justice!  It was a welcome, and very comfortable, place to catch a quick nap, watch a bit of television, or just enjoy the quiet.  

Thank you, Liz, for sharing your home.  For years to come, I'm sure we will all fondly recall the memories we made in  our ""wedding house."""
158398,28157403,2015-03-19,2095951,Erik,"The house was great. Lis was also very helpful and nice to communicate with. It's about 15mins drive to the main SXSW area and since it was easy to get cars (Uber and Lyft) this year, getting around was easy from and to the house. The backyard was great for the nice weather we had. Big kitchen and having 3 bathrooms were nice! Definitely would recommend this place."
5447230,27375241,2015-03-02,28307306,Janelle,"This was my first experience with not only Airbnb but any kind of host situation. It was a great experience. Martin was very kind & patient while I was navigating through the process. Once I arrived he was very warm, engaging and made sure I had everything I needed to be comfortable!  The furniture & furnishings were very comfortable. I enjoyed it much more than the traditional hotel experience and look forward to using this resource & Martin as a host again in the future!"
5447230,28666217,2015-03-28,28252316,Ignacio,"Martin was an awesome host. He made me feel at home since the very first day, always making sure I took advantage of the resources in town. 
The house was clean, cozy and in super convenient location. Staying there was a blast of an experience. I felt I was part of a community, sharing cool insights with everyone or just having fun. I would definitely recommend to anyone involved in tech to stay with Martin."
5617149,31685316,2015-05-08,23314838,Armin,"I had a great time ad Chris apartment. I enjoyed everything. I used the complex facilities a lot: the gym is very convenient, the business center, the grill and even the pool. The river is next door I enjoyed jogging a long the river trail in the mornings. Great place. "
5617149,47875849,2015-09-21,44122304,Matthew,"Awesome place. Very clean. Chris was very friendly, helpful, and accessible. Great owner!"
5617149,50354380,2015-10-11,27564454,Chris,"Chris was an excellent host. He was very friendly and provided my friend and I with everything we needed. The place was very clean and modern, not to mention close to lots of great restaurants and bars. The complex had a variety of great amenities as well. If you're seeing a show at Emo's Austin, look no further. I would definitely stay with Chris if I find myself in this neighborhood of Austin again."
5617149,51938059,2015-10-25,28703699,Jennifer,Chris was super nice and the apartment was the perfect place for our weekend getaway. Close enough to downtown and lots of restaurants in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. 
3052787,14664815,2014-06-23,15015366,Aubrey,Great place to stay! Short drive to downtown and Salty Sow for a nice dinner and cocktail. Neighbors were friendly and the house was adorable! 
3052787,28118933,2015-03-18,1152494,Andrew,"Charles place was as described, in a great location and he was very helpful leading up to and during my stay. "
3052787,28387809,2015-03-23,9283044,Justin,"Charles has a very nicely renovated house. I stayed there with 3 friends during our time at SXSW. The house is more spacious than the photos give it credit. Eventhough there is one bed, we had space for an air mattress. The kitchen served to be useful as well. Great location for our daily downtown commute."
3052787,29068320,2015-04-03,1252344,Alex,"Wonderful house in a quiet neighborhood, with quick access to many east side restaurants. Charles was very accommodating. "
4077459,21259998,2014-10-13,22066884,Megan,"Our stay in Austin at Julie's was wonderful! She welcomed us with a 6 pack of local beer and some snacks. She also provided us with a list of some local places to eat. We tried the breakfast tacos she suggested and they were quite tasty! The house was neat and clean and a great place to stay. It was in a good and convenient location also. She was always available to answer any questions we had and made sure that we enjoyed our stay! Overall, great weekend trip and a great place to stay!"
4077459,23445150,2014-12-01,436209,Scott,"There aren't enough positive words for me to describe our experience at Julie's East Austin Bungalow.  

As we recently re-located to Austin from LA, we rented Julie's house for an entire month while we looked for permanent digs.  Not only is the house cozy, convenient, and ridiculously affordable, but Julie and her husband David couldn't have been more accommodating.

We couldn't have asked for a nice welcoming committee to our new city.  They were full of great tips, checked in on us (even dropped off flannel sheets when the temps dipped into the low 30s!), and made us feel we instantly had friends in town.  Their bungalow will always be our first ""home"" in Austin.

We will certainly recommend Julie's house to friends visiting in the future.  For the space (including a large deck and yard), quick drive to  Austin's main attractions, and gracious hosts, you can't ask for better for the price.  
"
4077459,31027695,2015-05-01,22619035,Randi,"Julie and her husband were both so warm and welcoming. When I first arrived to the home everything was all set up and there were even some goodies in the fridge and wine on the counter for me! The house was more than enough room for myself and dog and also had a nice sized guest bedroom that worked well for when I had friends stay over. They even had a housekeeper come in to tidy up the place while I was at work every couple of weeks. It was awesome! I stayed for almost 5 months and couldn't have been happier with the location. It's in a cute, ""eclectic"" neighborhood with nice neighbors. Just far enough from downtown to where you can avoid traffic and have some peace at home but only a 5-10 min drive or Uber to the hot spots! The yard was especially great. I had my 70lb pup with me and he enjoyed it very much. I cannot thank Julie and David enough. They were both so thoughtful and kind, I look forward to staying with them in the future! "
4077459,51605727,2015-10-22,26600170,Vladimir And Anastasia,"Julie and David are very nice people! It was nice to see some baby staff on the counter and some food and drinks in refrigerator when we arrived. You feel like someone is really waiting for you and it feels like you are coming home. Everything was as on the pictures. In my opinion even better. Terrace and backyard is way bigger then on the picture, and they put kids table with chairs there for our older daughter. We spent a lot of good time on the terrace, because the weather was perfect for that. The bedrooms are big enough. And king size bed is very comfy. It was easy to reach Julie by phone or email always. And she did maximum to make us feel like at home. We had an amazing time at this place! Thank you guys!!!"
4077459,52154259,2015-10-26,1824528,Matt,Julie was very thorough with getting us situated at her place.  Everything was clean and orderly and she provided us with a great list of local food spots.  It was a relatively cheap Uber downtown and it is a great place to bring your dog as well.  Thanks again Julie!
4833418,25283098,2015-01-11,8597825,Josh,"Great stay! Very nice house, comfortable beds, kept very clean. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of wine and a warm house (it was a cold weekend in Austin so the warmth was welcome). It's a quiet neighborhood, which is great."
4833418,25519314,2015-01-18,666437,Ashley,We LOVED Alex's place. It was a nice quiet neighborhood close to downtown and everywhere that we needed to go! The house is clean and eclectic and we enjoyed our stay so much.  Alex was great about checking in and making sure that we were taken care of and even left us a bottle of wine for us to find upon our Arrival. It was a great price and a great trip! 
4833418,26553423,2015-02-15,26823524,Eric,The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. Alex was helpful and sent me an instruction sheet about how to use things in the house. He was also nice enough to leave us a bottle of wine! He helped us complete a fantastic Valentine's day weekend outing in Austin.
4833418,28390465,2015-03-23,26884191,Laura,"Alex was a very gracious host! His bungalow was clean , modern well furnished and very lovely. we had a great time!"
4833418,30246975,2015-04-19,4306591,Katherine,"House is quiet, clean and has everything you'll need. It has a nice modern decor. The neighborhood is residential but close to interstate and coffee shops etc.  We stayed with our 2.5 yr old and 5 month old and had plenty of space. Alex made check in easy - he was accommodating about timing as well. we would definitely stay again. "
5384509,27619306,2015-03-08,2011704,Curtis,"Stayed here for a weekend in March 2015 and really enjoyed it.  There's a lot of neat artwork/decor throughout the space yet it still had a very comfortable feel.  It's a short bike ride from downtown but there's also a lot of great food and entertainment options nearby. Courtney was out of town, but she provided me with lots of good info (places to eat, best streets to bike on, etc.) through our communications. The bikes were lots of fun; I took it all on some neat trails as well as through downtown - really a great way to see Austin. I'm hoping to stay here again when I eventually make it back to Austin."
5384509,28019306,2015-03-16,4325104,Brian,"I had an excellent stay here. Super-clean and very comfortable. While it's not at the heart of Austin, there are still some great restaurants and shops to check out in the area, and Courtney's thorough list of suggestions, along with maps and directions, was greatly appreciated."
5384509,28367195,2015-03-22,10858566,Monta,"I stayed at Courtney's lovely home during Austin's SXSW, and it was amazing! A quick bus ride to all of Austin's downtown attractions!! Coming home was cozy and comfortable and it's definitely a place I would recommend to enjoy as a get-a-way place!"
5384509,28771116,2015-03-29,21575014,Jimmy,Courtney's place was a very nice apartment with a great atmosphere within and without. I had a nice and comfy stay and it was made all the more enjoyable by her recommendations of things to do nearby. Access to her guitar and bikes was an added bonus. 
5384509,29790360,2015-04-12,13492831,David,"This apartment was charming and well-presented clean and well-appointed, Courtney was prompt, polite, and helpful in replying to our messages, she provided us with lists of personal recommendations for things to do, restaurants, cafes, bars, perfect guide to local knowledge, the apartment is quiet and secluded, with a very private balcony almost in the trees. We loved her travelling decor, it was like staying in a friend's place, instead of the anonymous hotels and motels we've stayed at in Austin before. An easy place to find, and less than 15 minutes from the heat of Austin, 5 minutes to South Congress, perfect."
5384509,30628632,2015-04-25,30304953,Tammara,"I could not have been more pleased with my stay at the Cozy Treehouse.  Courtney was not in town, but she was very welcoming and responsive to all my questions. She had already prepared a list of restaurants, grocery stores and other places of interest that she e-mailed & left in the apartment. I referred to it constantly and was so impressed by how conveniently located this apt is to everything by car and walking/biking if you are in the mood. The apartment looks exactly like the photos, but they do not do it justice. It is perfect for one person. I found it very easy to work there (I was here on business for approx 12 days) and relax too as the balcony is fun and the bed is an amazing magic marshmallow (I wanted to take it with me).  Highly recommended to people who want a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Austin. "
5384509,32198715,2015-05-15,31619529,Justin,Courtney was very helpful and responsive.  The apt is perfect (even has a guitar).  A quick trip into downtown and there's a laundry in the complex which was super helpful.  Highly recommended 
5384509,32911853,2015-05-23,13492831,David,"This is our second visit. Courtney, as before, made sure to contact us both in advance, and during our visit to check everything was satisfactory, which it was, perfectly clean, welcoming, and well-prepared.
The apartment is great, has everything we need, the bed is comfortable, and the off-street site makes it an oasis of calm and quiet. 
We'll be back!
"
5384509,33267133,2015-05-26,30211246,Michelle,We stayed at Courtney's this past weekend. The apartment was clean and cozy. It was as easy trip into the city on bike and in a car. Courtney had a great list of places to check out. I would definitely stay their again. 
5384509,34099394,2015-06-04,1986436,Mollie,"Convenient home base for two people in Austin--had fun biking around town, easy drive to everywhere in the city.  Softest bed in the world!"
5384509,37768541,2015-07-10,25187348,Kevin,"I had a great experience for my first stay at an AirB&B! For the past 20 plus years I've been traveling for business, staying in the typical Holiday Inn's and other mid level to upper level hotels. Being tired of the points game that's becoming a watered down racket I decided to try something new. Courtney's treehouse apartment was a nice change form my normal chain hotel routine.  My stay lasted 29 days and I felt right at home every minuet. Coming from a small country village, I was surprised at how quite the apartment was for being in the city. The birds were a bit loud in the trees that heavily shade the west side of the apartment but I looked at this as a good problem. ""Lol""  It was an easy downhill 2 mile walk to the city center but not so easy going up the hill. Take the bus back unless you want or need a workout. During my 29 days I was able to meet many of the neighbors and they all seamed nice and welcoming. Courtney treehouse apartment had everything I needed and so much more than a hotel. Thanks Courtney !
"
5384509,49553523,2015-10-04,11754898,Jeffrey,"Everything was amazing easy and well handled. If she will have me this will be my new Austin home! Space is clean and wonderful and the bikes were fun. Man my quads are sore!
Thank you again Courtney!"

It's well furnished and clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay.  Courtney also provides a list of restaurants, shop & bars in the area, which there are quite a few.  Thanks again, great stay!"

520055,16719829,2014-08-01,15932067,Emily,Christina was a great host! I loved her studio apartment. It felt much larger than what it was. The location can't be beat and I loved the fitness center and pool! An added bonus was the new boardwalk access that just opened up. I would definitely stay at Christina's place again!
520055,28419933,2015-03-23,7389751,Gerald,Stay and location were great!  Christina was easy to get in contact with and left us some recommendations on places to check out.  Would def stay here again.
520055,37904126,2015-07-11,23430034,Wendy,Christina's flat is cuter and cozier than pictured and described and the location is ideal! She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

You have the guest room to the right. Clean and cozy! Bed was comfortable too. Shared bathroom which was fine for 1 nite. Overall great !! "

1305257,10672226,2014-03-02,857224,Elham,"My husband and I stayed at this wonderful home for 2 nights. It's situated in a fantastic neighborhood near lots of shops and eateries. Robin and Mike are very hospitable and friendly, and were able to give us recommendations for where to go around the city. 

The bedroom has a private bathroom but it doesn't have a shower so you use theirs upstairs which is a bit awkward. The bedroom is also situated next to the living room and since the hosts are often home, it doesn't always feel too private. 

The home is extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Bed is very comfortable and we loved the neighborhood. Best of all the resident cat, Rufus, who seems more like a doggie, will win your heart over with his loud purrs and friendly disposition. Overall it was a good stay. "
1305257,10855639,2014-03-10,12511608,Pamela,"Robin and Mike were amazing hosts, very friendly, and great to chat with.  The bed in the room was comfortable, and they provided toiletries in the bathroom just down the hall from the room.  They even fixed up their bikes to let us borrow them (although we did not get an opportunity to ride).  The location is easy walking to South Congress, lots of restaurants, interesting shops, etc.  We were able to walk to 6th street for music/bars one night there was nice weather (not short walk, but doable).  The only items to note are the room is not that large, but it works great for two people sleeping comfortably; and the bathroom near the room only has a bathtub (but Robin and Mike offered us the option to use the shower upstairs).  Overall super friendly people, made us feel welcome to hang out in their home, they gave great restaurant recommendations, very comfortable atmosphere and personalities (they even made a beer run for us).  We would stay there again in the future!  The cat Rufus was one of the highlights of the stay, great personality for a cat!"
1305257,12321841,2014-04-28,14654710,Anita,"robin and mike were wonderful hosts. they made us feel right at home and made sure we had everything we needed. the place was lovely, the bed was comfy, and the clawfoot tub was divine! we will definitely book again next time we're in austin."
1305257,12447665,2014-05-02,7169336,Rachel,"Robin and Mike were absolutely lovely hosts! We picked their place because the location is perfect for exploring the South Congress neighborhood (which is fantastic, btw, if you aren't familiar). Their home is cozy and they made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend this place."
1305257,17907346,2014-08-18,13756860,Kendra,"We had a great time with our hosts in Austin. It was such a great location near several popular restaurants and coffee shops, the house was gorgeous, and our room was excellent. We had a great time meeting our hosts, as I think they were the most friendly we've met on AirBNB to date. I highly recommend this listing for future guests. "
1305257,18509334,2014-08-27,10028835,Sarah,Nous avons été très bien acceuillies. La chambre est petite mais c'est suffisant. Robin et Mike sont vraiment très gentils et de bons conseils!
1305257,21517790,2014-10-19,303476,Andrea,"Mike and Robin were so super cool and welcoming. We got a quick tour and such a great welcome. Mike and Robin asked us which beer we liked, and picked up a few for us too!

The room is gorgeous, quiet and comfortable. We slept very well and even though we only stayed the one night, we will probably stay here again the next time we visit Austin. Their house is close to so many cool places to be.

There was a great binder in the room with all of the info you could need about the area, the room, amenities, etc.

"
1305257,22697703,2014-11-12,21215926,Adam,What a wonderful place! Robin & Mike were extremely accommodating and helpful. The room is nice and the bed extremely comfortable! There's a great coffee place nearby (definitely a plus!) and it was a nice walk to plenty of other locations. Highly recommended for anyone coming through Austin!
1305257,23299451,2014-11-28,20189693,John,"My plans changed at the last minute so I didn't end up staying with Robin and Mike, BUT I can tell you that their communication leading up to my arrival was fantastic!!"

1305257,24862360,2015-01-03,16646913,Desireé,"Robin & Mike were great. Super laid-back and accommodating. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it was fully equipped with whatever we needed. The location is really close to anything you could need- grocery store, restaurants, parks, move theatre, downtown. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the bed was super comfy. It was raining the majority of our stay, so we didn't get to explore the backyard- but it looked great! The bathroom was a great size and the shower head was wonderful. Great claw foot run for baths. Great room for anyone that wants a place to stay close to the action! "
1305257,26091393,2015-02-02,26909198,Deb,"Robin and Mike were so gracious in their hospitality in so many ways! From helping me out with my reservation problems, to offering my dog Sophie a comfy bed and, even letting me bake my favorite cookies in their kitchen! Their home is a great respite for those needing to relax, especially with the lovely bed and the claw footed bath tub. (Note: the bed is every bit as comfortable as promised!)

The Bouldin Creek neighborhood is charming, wacky and full of great restaurants and coffee shops. I live in Austin and I can't think of a better place to stay if you are visiting for the first time, or, if you live in the area and want to do a great ""staycation"" and soak in one of Austin's most creative neighborhoods.

My dog, Sophie, would like to report to other furry friends that she was lavished with affection and slept on one of the biggest dog beds ever, thanks to our hosts! She gives it a five ""paws"" rating."
1305257,26203680,2015-02-06,26909198,Deb,"This was our second stay with Robin & Mike and they made Sophie, my German Shorthaired Pointer, and I feel right at home! She got to enjoy their great dog bed and lots of scratches behind the ears. I got to hang out with two friendly folks and walk in a charming neighborhood. Pro Tip: try the Mulligatawny at The Soup Peddler (cross streets: S. First & Mary)"
1305257,26683638,2015-02-17,6735290,LeeAnn,"""The Coop"" is in the COOLEST part of town -- about 3-4 blocks to Bouldin Creek Cafe (Vegeterian, with Nutella Mocha) and a few blocks to La Patisserie with French chocolates & caramels and People's Art.

Free wifi, large back yard with a chicken coop (no chix). A few blocks from buses 10 and Congress Ave. No pets.

Guests run the thermostat on main level while owners sleep upstairs."
1305257,26957245,2015-02-22,1575151,Chris,"My father was visiting Austin for a few days to check out a music festival I host in Austin. It's a crazy busy time for me so I decided to put him up in a house in my neighborhood. Robin and Mike were extremely accommodating and met me in person so I could take a look at the house and discuss specifics. My father enjoyed his stay and commented (frequently) about how comfortable the bed was... The downstairs living space is super spacious with all the amenities one would need. My father was super comfortable and his staying here allowed him the space he wanted, while still remaining just a couple blocks from my house (and the festival).. Robin and Mike are great folks and their place is very nice."
1305257,27229794,2015-02-28,28002022,Stacy,"This was my first time using air BnB and i was very happy! Robin  and Mike were wonderful hosts, the room was comfy, well stocked and perfect for my weekend getaway by myself.  The location is great as well, walking distance to lots of great stuff. I will def. book this room again:-)
PS: yummy coffee in the morning!"
1305257,27564549,2015-03-07,2029239,Crystal,We loved it! The neighborhood is amazing and our hosts were very warm&welcoming. Thanks so much for everything!

1305257,29676224,2015-04-11,13929369,Brian,"We rented the bedroom from Robin and Mike for one night in Austin. They are a super nice couple and made us feel at home with a cup of tea waiting for us and tips for enjoying the city. The house is on a quiet residential street and about a 15 minute walk from South Congress Ave, where there are lots of interesting shops and restaurants. Overall a positive experience and they made us feel very welcome."
1305257,29980905,2015-04-15,12694638,(email hidden),"Staying with Robin and Mike was the perfect start to our 2 week road trip round Texas. The house is in a very cool area with lots of restaurants/boutique stores really nearby. The room was clean, had a super comfy bed and a great private bathroom. Robin and Mike are fantastic hosts, very interesting people with lots of great advice to make sure you get the most from Austin and keep things weird! "
1305257,30278065,2015-04-20,6206090,Jessica,"Staying with Mike and Robin was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. We had so much fun hanging out with them, and it really felt like we were staying with good friends. They were so kind and generous with their time, and really helped us on our way at the beginning of an epic trip. We genuinely hope we will see them again either in Austin or the UK.

The house is gorgeous, with a lovely open plan kitchen with everything you could need. The garden is huge and a nice place to relax with a cold beer. The bedroom is cosy but more than adequate, and the private bathroom is lovely and big. Being able to do laundry was a life saver. Everything is spotlessly clean. 

The neighbourhood is peaceful and pretty, and just a couple of blocks away from the fabulous bars and restaurants on 1st ave and south congress.

A great place to stay!"
1305257,30614011,2015-04-25,19453454,Joel,Robin and Mike were fantastic hosts - they were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable of the city. The room was setup with everything you could need and perfectly located nearby to Soco. Love the city and definitely planning to head back! Thanks both.

We had a pretty late night out on the town and they were perfectly okay with us coming in late. It was only for one night but I would definitely come stay here again.  Also the huge wind-chimes hanging from the front porch sound beautiful."

1305257,34163654,2015-06-05,14731582,Mark,"Robin and Mike are wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming and courteous. The room was perfect, and exactly as listed. While I was rather busy during my stay, I appreciated their invitations to things and suggestions for things to check out. 

Their place is located in a vibrant neighborhood, within walking distance of so many great places to get a sense of Austin's culture. Anyone looking to explore, or even rediscover Austin should consider staying with them on their next visit!"
1305257,35113845,2015-06-15,583945,Tracy,"Robin and Mike are super friendly, cordial and helpful. The room is exactly as expected with a very comfortable bed.

1305257,35360870,2015-06-17,35558545,Morgan,My boyfriend and I are driving cross country and wanted to stop in Austin. We were looking for a nice place close to a great pArt of town and we found it! Mike and Robin responded very quickly to our request and we checked in at 3:30pm. Robin and Mike were very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of feedback on what to do in Austin! We drove to south congress which was a few minute drive down the street (could have walked but we were scared of the storm approaching). There are several bars and restaurants close by! We had our own room and bathroom and the bed was super comfy! We also had some freshly brewed coffee the next morning :) we would definitely stay here again!
1305257,35745289,2015-06-21,9072819,Kelsey,"Robin & Mike were very warm and accommodating for a quick, last minute trip to Austin this weekend with my boyfriend.

We didn't see much of each other for the duration our stay, but the time we did spend chatting, they were super easy going and helpful. Their lovely home is within a walking distance to South Congress, and parking was VERY easy to find. We enjoyed staying with Robin and Mike. "
1305257,38142551,2015-07-13,34845107,Limitless,Pleasant hosts and good location!  Will consider another stay next trip out!  Thank you Mike and Robin!
1305257,38957465,2015-07-19,29689635,Cody,Robin was a very accommodating host. She helped us enjoy our family weekend in Austin!  
1305257,40613786,2015-08-01,36567548,Blythe,"Mike was so kind-- he knew we had an early departure planned, so he was very quiet as we called it an early night. He even set up the coffee pot for us so it'd be ready at 5am! The room was tidy and the bathroom was adorable-- wish I'd had time to enjoy the clawfoot tub!"
1305257,41838522,2015-08-09,38106072,Jenna,"We had a fantastic stay! The room was beautiful and comfortable just as described.

1305257,43731416,2015-08-21,14115852,Rose,This is a great location and beautifully renovated house. Very comfy bed and such soft sheets. We had everything we would need and coffee waiting for us in the morning was awesome. Umbrella for when it actually rained ...finally..was put to use. Mike and Robin are seasoned hosts and I highly recommend this spot!
1305257,47770800,2015-09-21,11134027,Eric,The place was as advertised- a comfy bedroom and private bath on a residential street just blocks from the happenings on S Congress.  There was free on street parking.  The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.  
1305257,48931743,2015-09-29,20655779,Lane,Robin and Mike were great hosts! Their space was super cute and the bed was super comfortable. Very peaceful neighborhood that is easy walking distance to all kinds of great food. Robin was kind enough to give us some great suggestions as there was a lot to choose from. Robin and Mike were quiet as church mice in the mornings which was wonderful given our late nights at Fantastic Fest. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Austin.
1305257,49587422,2015-10-05,32691071,Elaine,"We stayed with Robin and Mike for 3 nights during ACL Fest and felt right at home! Not once did we feel like strangers staying in someone else's home, they were always welcoming and exchanged stories. We also fell in love with their cat Gigi who is the liveliest cat you'll ever meet!"
1305257,52047648,2015-10-26,29106297,Jennifer,"This was our first stay in an Airbnb where we didn't have the entire place, just a room in someone's house. Austin was having F1 races and we were lucky to get this place. We were nervous about that but our hosts were awesome! They were helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. The room was very comfy, with a bath down the hall for us to use. The location couldn't have been more perfect. We went out every night and was close to everything. We would stay again for sure. Thanks to Mike and Robin, we had one of the BEST trips ever! (Also, their sweet cat Ji-Ji was icing on the cake)"
1305257,52792301,2015-11-01,33448534,Jessica,"Great location within walking distance of great food, shopping, and live music.  Robin and Mike were very kind.  They had coffee and tea waiting for us with a push of a button.  "
5521345,27960411,2015-03-15,7873471,Courtney,"From the moment a coworker and I booked the condo, Sue kept in touch with us and made us feel completely welcome! The condo itself was immaculate, so cute, and only an 8 minute walk to downtown Austin - close to all of the hustle and bustle, while being situated in a quiet neighborhood. Sue went above and beyond - giving us a tour of the condo when we arrived, leaving snacks for us in advance, and even buying us local Austin beer to try out. The accommodation itself was lovely and very comfortable - we felt right at home! Additionally, Sue created her own board on Air B&B of her top Austin recommendations, and should we have needed anything, provided her cell number to us. Neither of us had been to Austin before but this amazing condo really allowed us to enjoy our stay and feel comfortable in a new city. Highly recommend this rental, especially because Sue is the sweetest! "
5521345,28052662,2015-03-16,3565122,Hannah,"Sue hosted one of our colleagues of a business trip to Austin. The feedback about her stay was only positive. The apartment was very clean and in a great location. Sue picked her up from the airport and was more than accommodating and willing to help prior to and during her stay. 

Sue and her apartment could not come with a higher recommendation."
5521345,30731375,2015-04-26,31211656,Rina,"The place is beautiful and in a great location close to everything. Sue was also a very generous host, telling us about all the events in town, and providing incredible amenities. I highly recommend her place for your stay in Austin."
5521345,32830520,2015-05-22,15040697,Karen,"I can't say enough nice things about Sue and her condo.  Sue is such a warm and kind person and was always willing to help me out in any way possible, if needed.  The condo is a beautiful, open, sunny space and I immediately felt comfortable there the minute I walked in.  The place could not have been cleaner, which I truly appreciate.  Sue had every accomodation needed - she even had snacks and beer waiting for me on my arrival!  The bedroom is very cozy - I love the darkening drapes and I slept better in that bed than I do in my own!  Also love the nice big bathroom.  All in all I couldn't have asked for a  better place to stay in Austin.  I work from home and this was a longer term stay for me - I was there for 3 weeks.  Very quiet building - the walls are soundproof, which made it very easy to work during the day.  The location is awesome - I could walk east to the cool bars/restaurants on east 6th, or head west to downtown.  I appreciated the private parking spot - parking was very easy and safe.  5 stars - I highly recommend Sue and her condo!!"
5521345,33121771,2015-05-25,31158109,Utku,"We stayed at Sue's condo over Memorial Day weekend and couldn't have had a better time. She was very accommodating to all our needs and did everything she could to make us feel welcome, and I couldn't have been happier with the arrangements. The location is ideal, as it's an easy walk to East Sixth, Downtown, as well as several other bar and restaurant districts in Austin. "
5521345,33742817,2015-05-31,33939121,Cindy,"We stayed at Sue's Austin suite for a shared anniversary weekend and it was an amazing choice! The apartment was clean and very comfortable for two couples; we are very close friends so sharing one bathroom was no issue (Big bathroom, BTW). Very nicely decorated and has all the basic things you'll find at a hotel but you feel like you were staying at a friend's house. Sue was available for suggestions and to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend her place and will definitely come back next time we're in Austin."
5521345,34138343,2015-06-05,2252893,Hansoo,"숙소는 사진에 나온 것과 동일했다. 
Sue는 숙박 마지막날 지역행사 표를 구해주려는 친절을 배푸는 등 이제껏 묵어본 airbnb 숙소의 host 중 최고였다. 
한국에서 학회 참석차 방문하였기에 학회장과의 위치도 적절하였으며 다른 Austin의 볼 거리와도 적절한 위치였다. 
Sue는 와인, 가벼운 스낵, 맥주 등도 준비해 두었을 뿐만 아니라, 각종 주방 도구도 잘 갖추어져 있어서 현지 음식에 적응이 힘든 아시아 지역 숙박객에게는 더할 나위 없이 좋은 장소였다.

화장실에 기본적인 용품 외에도 바디로션, 썬크림 등 집보다 더 나은 물품들이 비치되어 있어서 전혀 불편함이 없이 지낼 수 있었다.

숙소에 amzon에서 구매한 물품을 배송하였으나 배송 당일 집에 늦게 들어와서 받을 수 없었으나, 이웃 사람이 물품을 잘 보관하여 도난의 위험도 없었다. (다만, 그 이웃이 사전에 자기가 물품을 보관하고 있다는 메모를 남겼더라면 더 좋았을 것이다.)

이웃이 보관한 물품은 Sue가 별도로 보내주어 한국에서 잘 받아볼 수 있도록 해주는 배려를 경험했다. 
이 자리를 빌어서 Sue에게 다시 한번 감사의 인사를 하는 바이다.

Austin에 다시 방문하게 될 날이 언제인지는 모르겠으나, 다시 가게 된다면 무조건 Sue의 콘도에 다시 머문다는 것을 확언한다.

"
5521345,34744303,2015-06-11,6423648,Nita,"Sue's condo was wonderful!  I did not want to leave!  The condo is very spacious and decorated nicely!  Very clean, bed was super comfortable and the location was perfect!  Love the neighborhood.
It is downtown, but it is very quiet.  I slept like a baby.  I had a lot of studying to do, and it was never a problem.  I had no problems at all during my stay.  Sue is a sweet, welcoming person.  There were plenty of snacks, and she was so helpful.  She was very communicative, and gave me excellent  information.  I am so glad I met her!
I will definitely recommend Sue's condo to friends.  It is a fantastic place to stay and she is a delight.  Did I mention the fabulous artwork?  Great stay!  Thanks Sue!"
5521345,34992245,2015-06-14,33067524,Fe,"LOVE this condo! The style, location, and feel was like a modern hotel suite, but with personalized service you can't find at any hotel.  Best out of town stay Ive had! Sue is AWESOME, she has such a bright and caring personality.  She made sure we we're taken care of from the start to checking out.  Next visit to Austin, I'll book with her again!"

5521345,38681290,2015-07-17,37098781,David,Sue was great and made the entire experience EASY! Her place is in ideal spot making it simple to get all that Austin has to offer.
5521345,39584195,2015-07-24,293229,Taylor,"Checkin: The experience was perfect. Her daughter Carson checked me in and was very cheerful, even though I was 2+ hours late due to my train into Austin running behind.

Home: It was wonderful. Very clean and modern, everything worked nicely. The A/C worked so well, I forgot it was summer in Texas. And the Internet/wifi is very fast. Great light in the living room with the big windows too.

Proximity: So close to all the great East Side bar and food truck spots. 15-20 minute walk to Rainey and downtown means you can have fun over there and then come back to peace.

I would definitely stay at Sue's place again."
5521345,40573581,2015-08-01,13874133,Meagan,"Sue could not have been a better host if she tried!! From the moment we landed in Austin Sue assisted us with lifts from the airport, gave us a little tour of Austin and pointed out some good restaurants and bars that we never would have noticed unless a local told us. 
She provided us with so much helpful information about things to do during our stay and the best ways to travel around etc.
The condo was in a perfect spot - in walking distance to everything. The air conditioning in the condo was fantastic, especially after a long day in the heat, it was all we wanted.
The apartment was very clean and was very well equipped with things from shampoo, to a full set of bath and beach towels to some complimentary and wine. 
There is a double bed and a fold out sofa which was a bit squishy for 4 of us but 1 of us just slept on the lounge instead of 2 on the sofa which did us just fine. 
I could not recommend this place enough!! "
5521345,41144872,2015-08-04,15303286,Erik,This was an outstanding room in an amazing location.  The room is within walking distance of 6th and Rainey streets.  It was an overwhelmingly positive experience for me.  Sue was awesome at getting us set up.  I have no complaints.  
5521345,42254782,2015-08-12,7052136,Dave,"I stayed here for one week with my two teenage sons who were attending a convention at the Austin convention center.
It was an easy 10 minute walk to the Convention center from the condo. We rented a car but found we didn't really need it so much because there are many restaurants and activities within walking distance.
The condo was very clean and comfortable.
In addition to the bedroom, there is a futon and sofa available for sleeping with bedding supplied...The bed was comfortable, futon and sofa were adequate.
Sue was a very kind and gracious host who made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed...she even left us some snacks and a nice selection of local beers.
Overall we were very satisfied with the experience and would stay here again."
5521345,42908575,2015-08-16,17359451,Alvand,"I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Airbnb. Sue not only treated my friends and I as weekend guest, but more like her family that had came to visit Austin for the first time. She's very knowledgeable of Austin and has great recommendations for great local scenes. She has an amazing home, very clean, well equip with daily essentials, and beautiful views of Austin from the balcony. The home could not have been located in a better spot, walking distance to the center of Austin and other iconic landmarks in Austin. Make sure to check out the food truck across the street for breakfast tacos and late night tacos. I can't wait to visit Austin again and Sue will definitely be the first one I reach out to for accommodations. 

Thanks,

Alvand/Jamie/Daniel"
5521345,43642254,2015-08-21,1597200,Melissa,Everything was great and the place and Sue were better than expected. 
5521345,43925593,2015-08-23,24842329,Nicole,"Sue rocks and her condo is awesome! This was our first time in Austin and this was the best place to stay to get to know the city. Her condo was in the perfect location, right on 6th street and in walking distance to east Austin bars and restaurants and downtown 6th street area, plus a short Uber to South Congress. We felt like we were right in the middle of everything we wanted to do. The place was super clean and comfortable for 3 of us, and Sue made us feel at home by leaving us plenty of snacks, waters and a pack of beer for the weekend. She was very available for questions throughout the weekend, and gave us a ton of suggestions and information about Austin for the weekend. I'd definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin and would stay again! Also, check in/out process was a breeze."
5521345,45725550,2015-09-05,8225294,Brian,"Sue...and her place...was amazing!  First off, it's so centrally located to everything central Austin has to offer.  Quick drive to UT.  Walk to great coffee shops/restaurants/bars in East Austin...or Sixth St...or Rainey St.  I'd warm-up during the .5 mile to Town Lake to run along the best running path in the country.

Her place is very comfortable.  The perfect size for one person or a small family.  It was a working trip for me, so found the place very conducive for this.  Really fast internet was a plus.

Sue welcomes you with a tour, a bowl of apples, and bowl of various bags of snacks...she's the epitome of that Austin warmth.  I'd rent from her again in a second!"
5521345,46625276,2015-09-12,6917231,Manish,Sue was great; she offered me lots of suggestions on places to check out in Austin and she was very welcoming! The apartment was conveniently located near everything in downtown Austin. It was also clean and well-kept. Thanks Sue!
5521345,47422851,2015-09-18,890973,Madhu,"This was by far the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. Sue is the most friendly, accommodating, and thoughtful host and everything about the unit reflects this. First of all, she picked me up from the airport -- seriously! After arriving at the condo, I was amazing to discover that there was a basket of snacks, beers and water in the fridge, amazingly well-stocked bathroom, and a folder with so many great nearby recommendations. She spent a lot of time with me making sure I had everything I needed for an amazing stay. I really could go on and on about my experience, but I think you get the idea. Thanks again for everything Sue."
5521345,47635356,2015-09-21,23465602,Leilani,"We had a great stay in Austin! Sue was great in providing airport transportation, a little 'welcome to Austin' refreshment, and detailed recommendations for a nice dinner out. The unit was a clean, comfortable, modern, and convenient home away from home! I definitely recommend it!"
5521345,48737154,2015-09-28,41743369,Zach,"Sue was the best. This was my first experience with Airbnb and we were happily surprised by how excellent and easy the service and apartment was. She offered to pick us up at the airport, had snacks and beer in the fridge. The apartment was comfortable and very centrally located. Gates parking spot and gated pedestrian access made for a sense of security. Can't recommend her any higher!"
5521345,49346441,2015-10-03,43042329,Michelle,Sue was great! We kept in touch with us during our trip to give us pointers while visiting Austin! She was very personable and her condo is fantastic! It's location is perfect for walking to restaraunts! The best food trucks are 2 minutes from her condo! We would definetly recommend her condo for your trip to Austin!
5521345,49877608,2015-10-07,34828475,Matt,"Sue was a great host who had everything taken care of. It was a busy weekend with ACL and loads of conferences, but she made sure that we made it to the condo safely and even had an assistant who gave us great recommendations for restaurants and the night life that Austin has to offer. There are so many positive things I can say about the condo. Along with it being clean, stylish and safe, it's a perfect location that's walking distance to so many great restaurants, food trucks and sights. After a couple days, I really felt at home there. Definitely a stellar first visit to Austin! "
5521345,50430372,2015-10-12,12561830,Colin,"Our stay at Sue's place was exceptional.  We arrived a day early for ACL music festival on weekend 2.  She gave a brief tour of the place and the run down of all the basics (key codes, entrance/exits, neighborhood spots, etc.).  It was a great location (6th street is popular) if you want to be in the heart of downtown action (noise was never an issue).  We felt safe & secure the whole time.  We walked mostly but Uber, pedicab (bicycle cabs), metro bus, and taxi are all available.  We walked to the shuttle bus area downtown for ACL each day.  We had a food truck that was great, a liquor store for spirits, and a grocery store that were all across the street so no worries about those kinds of things.  She was one of the best Airbnb hosts I've encountered so far.  From the pride she took in the cleanliness of the place, the updates on fun things to do around town, and also just the vault of information for Austin,  I would highly recommend her for you or anyone you know planning a trip to Austin, TX.  Hope to stay here again one day.  Cheers."
5521345,51267918,2015-10-19,30720267,Patti,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and a very nice part of it had to do with our accommodations and our host, Sue. Sue offered to pick us up from the airport and also to provide any groceries we might need. There was coffee, snacks, beer and water waiting for us. Sue greeted us upon our arrival and was readily available to help when we had questions. The king size bed was very comfortable. The location is fabulous and the security for the building is more than adequate. We would stay here again if we return to Austin. Thanks Sue."
5521345,51665757,2015-10-22,46644044,Matt,"Awesome location w/ super easy access to 6th St and the convention center. Sue was a fantastic and flexible host. Condo was spacious and comfortable. Overall, an excellent experience."
5521345,52328227,2015-10-28,39139936,Derek,"Sue's downtown apartment right off of 6th street was such a perfect location for a business trip with a little bit of fun on the side. The apartment was tidy, comfortable and cozy. It's all that I asked for! Sue was quite accommodating, which was very appreciated. "
5521345,52982455,2015-11-03,45230561,Michael,"We could not have had a more perfect first experience with Airbnb! First off, from our very first communication, Sue treated us like family, even offering to pick us up from the airport! I actually ended up having my flight delayed and delayed and ultimately cancelled. Sue was helpful the entire way through the craziness even offering to be available by phone when I thought I would have to drive to Austin late at night from Houston! Luckily, found a flight and didn't have to, however, Sue's kindness and help was above and beyond during a very stressful travel day!

When we arrived at Sue's condo all the stress was forgotten! The place could not have been more perfect! From soft bathrobes to delicious local beer and coffee in the fridge Sue thought of every detail! And the (email hidden)RFECTION!!!! We were there on Halloween and I have to say there is NOTHING quite like 6th Street in Austin on Halloween and our chic Airbnb was right there! Btw, fantastic taco truck right across the street and walking distance to every restaurant, bar, or music venue you could possibly want to go to!

We were there for the Austin Film Festival and the world premier of our documentary Of Dogs and Men and Sue even made it to a screening of our film which meant so much to us! 

We cannot recommend Sue and her hospitality more! Thank you thank you thank you Sue!!!! We will be back for sure!

Great for professional sharers: I was staying with my colleague and the fact that it has one en suite upstairs and one downstairs meant that we each had the benefit of our own space, while still staying together and having a communal lounge to hangout in. The house was clean, cute, and the wifi worked. All very seamless and convenient. Thanks!"
1687956,12629692,2014-05-06,14232309,Amy,"This was a nice, well appointed house in a quiet, pleasant area, easy to get to everything. Plenty of room, and the 2 beds/baths on different levels are nice for privacy and personal space. We also enjoyed the large tree covered balcony/patio. Recommended."

2454556,11518848,2014-04-06,8497217,Danielle,I had to cancel my stay last minute due to a personal event.  Rene was more than gracious and understanding.  Her communication was above and beyond as well.  We were able to come to a good mutual agreement regarding my reservation. I would recommend booking with her solely for her communication and understanding!
2454556,11668700,2014-04-11,405154,Rae,"Rene's Airstream is awesome! It's located in a safe neighborhood and it's only a short drive to fun restaurants, bars and local shops. Rene is responsive, accommodating and a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend this listing if you are looking for a fun alternative to standard accommodations."
2454556,11755498,2014-04-14,13191467,Ed,"The airstream was a perfect place to stay for us in Austin. Super cool, clean interior with personalized accents was welcoming and comfortable. Note only that bathroom is in the house proper & shared. Rene was friendly, communicative and helpful. Recommend this stay for any and all who want to experience Austin as locals."
2454556,12026891,2014-04-21,8336114,Kerrisa,Rene's airsteam and home is cozy and adorable! Lots of great design went into restoring this baby! Rene was very responsive when we needed anything and we felt right at home. The neighborhood is safe and friendly too... everything you would expect from South Austin hospitality. 
2454556,12198533,2014-04-25,7633613,Morgan,This was such a comfortable airstream! Rene had responded to our message within ten minutes and that's was so helpful because we were in a time crunch and needed a place to stay quickly! It was great to meet her and she even left us a little present :) the airstream itself is decorated so lovely with a photography theme and it takes just a little bit for the air conditioner to cool the place down. We went riding bikes and it was an awesome sight riding back up to an airstream that was lit up (LED light) very cool experience and I would definantly recommend to someone looking for a unique experience.
2454556,12300345,2014-04-28,1651717,Lindsay,"The trailer is a treat, and Rene is wonderful. This is an awesome and unique place to stay. I highly recommend it. "
2454556,12446876,2014-05-02,14857850,Jenna," Very happy to stay here!  When I found out that my mother was in the hospital, I didn't think about where I'd stay, just that I had to get to her as quickly as possible.  It was so nice to find an affordable and clean place (not to mention so cool and Austiny) so close by.  I really enjoyed my visit."
2454556,12590905,2014-05-05,1009632,Kyra,Great place! Such a cool build out. A great community style house with other great airbnbers. Fantastic waffles. Fun personalities. We would definitely stay here again!
2454556,13372420,2014-05-26,5868807,Sadie,I loved loved loved Renee and Thomas' Airstream. I've rarely stayed in such a quaint and comfortable space. There's plenty of room and the shared bath was no problem at all. Renee was a perfect host who was there for me whenever I had questions. Location (with a car) is great--close to everything but tucked away just enough to be quiet at night. I'll certainly book with them again! 
2454556,13436352,2014-05-27,15195991,Adam,We had a great time. Would love to stay again sometime!
2454556,14323189,2014-06-16,10477447,Matt,We had such a great time staying at Rene & Thomas' airstream. We booked about five days in advance and there was no delay in response. We were completely blown away by the airstream. Everything was clean and tidy. The theme is so fun and provided a nice little getaway for my girlfriend and me. We would definitely stay there during our next visit. 
2454556,14647478,2014-06-23,5679381,David,"Cool Airstream. The bed is on the opposite side of the trailer where the A/C unit is so if you're someone who likes airflow it can be a problem, but it was cool enough and my wife and I were comfy. Guest house situation is nice enough, met other Airbnb guests who were staying in that house, which was kind of fun."
2454556,15018379,2014-06-30,2255832,Noelle,"Staying in Rene & Thomas's airstream was so amazing. It was more than we could have imagined ourselves and it came equipped with everything we might have needed for a weekend away. The location was on point - easy access to everything and all areas of Austin we might have wanted to explore. The interiors and detailed touches of the airstream only added to the wonderful experience - making it more fun. They were fun, inviting, laid back & homey hosts which made us feel as if we were friends just popping in for the weekend. A highly recommended stay. "
2454556,15222527,2014-07-05,3745552,Tanya,"My son and I loved staying here for part of our vacation to Austin!

The location is wonderful, very close to South Congress & First Street. I used Car2Go and it was easy to get around. The trailer is absolutely fantastic, and such a treat at night with the amazing lighting!

Rene is always available and very fast to respond to your needs! She was very helpful when I asked her for some items for our trip to Barton Springs t, which included a really amazing vintage Pac-Man blanket and a little something for my son! This was a very nice touch that I personally really enjoyed :) 

Great hosts- really unique experience!!! "
2454556,15843755,2014-07-16,4264431,Kathleen,"This Airstream was even better than it looked in the pictures, and the pictures look pretty damn good! It's super-clean, the mattress is very comfortable, the overall interior design is delightful. There are so many thoughtful, functional touches. I recommend it highly. 

The neighborhood is residential, cute and quiet, yet the location is close to all things in groovy South Austin. Loved it! The common area in the house is really lovely and user-friendly.; t's spare, spotless and thoroughly pimped out with designy vintage furniture and oddments. The kitchen and bathroom are great, the bed linens and towels are really nice.  Small touches abound. 

This is Airbnb at its best. Rene is generous, flexible, responsive and thoroughly accommodating. She's a 5-star gal."
2454556,16233873,2014-07-23,18220339,Zinta,"Loved it! Hip, modern Airstream decorated as pictured in photos. Great location. Rene & Thomas were great - they met us when we arrived and offered wonderful suggestions for places to visit in Austin. Would definitely recommend!"
2454556,17079405,2014-08-06,17045464,Kito,"Nice quiet and relaxing Airstream. Exactly what I was looking for.

I'd definitely stay again!"
2454556,17916172,2014-08-18,19980725,Beatriz,Airstream was just as pictured. Very cute with just enough room for the three of us. (Dog included) 
2454556,18152105,2014-08-22,5057415,Lucia,"The experience in the airstream was awesome and René was a great host! We had some problems with the lock of the airstream and she arrived to help us in 5 minutes...everything was perfect. thank you René, I hope we will come back soon!!!"
2454556,18842827,2014-09-01,8587414,Bailey,"This was a novel experience! The airstream was as described, and is located in a fun part of town. It would have been tricky to stay more than a couple of days since you have to go inside to shower or use the restroom, but we knew about that going in. Over all, we loved staying here!"
2454556,19955554,2014-09-21,3562997,Colt,"Loved this airstream! Great location not far from my favorite places when I went to college in Austin, only a few miles from South Congress, downtown and Barton Springs.

Stayed very cool inside too!

Thank you for creating such a fun place to escape too while traveling!!! Austin is still amazing and you'll definitely enjoy your stay here."
2454556,20040243,2014-09-22,3562997,Colt,Really enjoyed staying in this airstream! It stayed cool under the Texas heat and was in a great location a couple miles from South Congress and downtown happenings...thank you so much for this unforgettable experience. Austin Rocks!!!
2454556,21298510,2014-10-14,11205291,Stacy,"I am so fortunate to have come across Rene and her AIRSTREAM! I was in search of a place for my daughter and her best friend to stay for a weekend.  Rene is the kindest and caring soul. Each and every time I messaged her, she responded in such a fast and timely manner. In my book you can not find a better host! The AIRSTREAM was the perfect quaint spot for the girls. They had a awesome experience!!! Thanks to Rene this trip turned out superb! I look forward to renting from her in the future!
"
2454556,21595193,2014-10-20,19755733,Amy,Awesome airstream!! Went for a relaxing girls weekend and got exactly that. We fell in love with the airstream and the very vintage feel that it gives off. The ceiling panel with changing lights was perfect for laying on the bed unwinding listening to the vintage radio with a station only Austin can offer. We absolutely loved it!
2454556,21969490,2014-10-27,11158561,Florence,"The airstream was everything I could have asked for and more! It was comfy and had a retro feel that took you back to the 50's. The location was perfect as it was close to downtown Austin and many of the cool bars and restaurants. The host, Thomas, was very helpful and recommended a bunch of local spots that turned out to be awesome! Would definitely recommend this place. Very unique and not to be missed."
2454556,22353762,2014-11-04,16685001,Jamie,Our stay was very nice. Our hosts were attentive and checked in with us after a chilly night. They brought over a space heater and made our stay even better. The airstream was clean and comfortable.  We would recommend this air b&b provider again !
2454556,23885475,2014-12-13,24678852,Paul,"This was my first airbnb and I have to say, it was an adventure that I will remember in a lifetime! The airstream is exactly how it's shown in the pictures. The common area was ready for use and convenient to access. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Austin!"
2454556,23956085,2014-12-15,23719820,Nicholas,"Our experience in Rene and Thomas' Airstream was excellent! The trailer was clean and inviting upon arrival, as were the common areas of the house. The experience is very unique and we loved our time there! Only blemish on an otherwise fantastic stay was that the mood lighting in the Airstream wasn't working. "
2454556,24789450,2015-01-02,25245022,Nancy,"The space heater and radio were on when we arrived, so the airstream already felt fun and welcoming. We thought it'd be odd to use the indoor bathroom, but it was just fine! The space was just what we were hoping for."
2454556,25345444,2015-01-12,25826034,Carey,Our stay here was great! The airstream is adorable and just how it looks in the photos. Quite cozy and the bed was very comfortable. 
2454556,25605758,2015-01-20,6876564,Karlyn,Everything was exactly as advertised. It was an adorable space and had what we needed for the weekend. The location was great and we had zero problems with anything. It was cool the first night and they had a space heater in there waiting for us with extra blankets! There were no problems getting into the house for the restroom and shower. 
2454556,26058706,2015-02-02,14987524,Emily,"We arrived late and called Rene for clarification about how to get into the house. She picked up after one ring! When we got into the yard, we saw the trailer all lit up. Once we got inside, we discovered that the radio and space heater were on as well, ready for our arrival. The Airstream was even cuter than it looked in the photos. We were worried that having the bathroom inside the main house might be awkward, but it was very private. We never even saw the other people that were staying in the house. Overall it was a completely romantic evening for us--felt like camping in a friend's backyard!"
2454556,26681971,2015-02-17,24129212,Jessica,"I had a wonderful time! It was a little chilly even with the space heater, and the water took a little longer to heat up, but that was the weather this past weekend - nothing to be done about that. The place was honestly the best, most fun little place I have ever stayed at. The sheets are gorgeous as was the airstream. Because it was so chilly this weekend, they had the heater turned on before I even arrived which was thoughtful. I only saw my host briefly in the beginning, but since everything was cut and dry, it was fine by me. I was out in downtown Austin most of the day anyway. Also the neighbors dog is probably the most annoying dog I've ever met. But again that is out of any ones control. 

Some notes for future travelers - the bus stop to go to downtown Austin really is just across the street but because it is a busier intersection you do have to go all the way to the stop light to cross. Also, be sure to take some time to just sit outside - it is quiet and in a quiet neighborhood. I loved it and will book them again if I ever am back in Texas. "
2454556,26839399,2015-02-20,4059162,Dawn,"The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The communication from the hosts was excellent. The place  was wonderfully designed, from the trailer to the common spaces. All in all, awesome!"
2454556,27471161,2015-03-05,27564750,Mary,"My sister and i stayed in Rene and Thomas' trailer during a 5 day trip to Austin. It was super roomy and clean- and way more fun than staying in a hotel (and a lot cheaper!!). The house itself is equally charming - and we didn't have have other guests while we were there, which was nice because we also had the living room, bathroom and kitchen mostly to ourselves. A really charming place to stay! Only thing I would say is to make sure you have a car as it is in a residential area without much to walk to but is only a few minutes away from everything you'd want to do and see. "
2454556,27866143,2015-03-13,11417913,Branden,"Our stay was very warm and comforting. The Modern Airstream is such a cozy environment, we felt right at home as soon as we walked in. "
2454556,27995746,2015-03-16,925283,Max,"We had a wonderful time in the Airstream, one of the most memorable places I've ever slept. Uniquely beautifully restored, with all furnishings selected in such a way that you feel like you're staying in an upscale boutique hotel. Very convenient access to downtown, a leisurely 10 min drive. Would recommend anytime!"
2454556,28113154,2015-03-17,26620225,Craig,"Very cool trailer and the hosts were responsive and kind.  Only drawback is that the bathroom is inside the house, not the trailer, so that can be a little tricky.  If you're okay with that definitely worth a stay!  "
2454556,28293383,2015-03-21,19031613,Susannah,They were a great host. This was my first time using the app and they were super helpful and replied almost immediately to every question. The airstream itself is just as cool in person and was very homey. It was a great place and I highly recommend it. 
2454556,28558781,2015-03-26,26320786,Eden,"The Airstream was super cool and perfectly located for everything I wanted to see in Austin. I had all the privacy I wanted, a fenced backyard for my dog, and a full kitchen and bathroom just steps away. Such a unique and fun property-would definitely stay here again!"
2454556,28831381,2015-03-30,27793760,Grant,"We really enjoyed our stay in Rene's airstream. It was very clean and cozy and worked out great for our 4 nights in Austin. Rene met us at the house when we arrived and made sure we had no problems settling in. We were able to use the house, including access to kitchen, bath and garage. It was convenient and fun, almost like camping in the backyard like kids do! We would stay there again! "
2454556,29948279,2015-04-14,28025670,Mike,"Great place and comfortable, lots of room,  was really cool to do some work in the streamline when it was raining too, felt very old school. Highly recommend it if you like having your own space completely. Because it separated from the house, I did feel bad walking through the house with wet shoes all those days. But I swept and cleaned up the wet leafs. "
2454556,32018691,2015-05-12,16924785,Armando, My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in this vintage airstream camper. While it's not downtown Austin it is certainly easy to get to and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The airstream is well decorated and very clean. There is no bathroom in the airstream (which would have been nice) but there is one in the adjacent house with easy access. There is a nice backyard that you can relax and enjoy the evening if staying in for the night. 
2454556,33460339,2015-05-28,3428809,Matt,"Despite trying to vacation in Austin during 'floodmaggedon' I had a really nice stay in the airstream. You can tell they put some thought in for people that would be staying there which was refreshing. I felt really comfortable going and coming as I pleased and didnt feel i was intruding any of the other guest in the house when i needed to use the restroom,shower, or kitchen. 

If i get a chance to revenge my trip I would stay here (website hidden) - they also checked in on me multiple times during flash flood warnings and tornado warnings, that should say enough about the type of people they are. "
2454556,35898599,2015-06-22,23284128,Michael,I loved the airstream trailer. I was looking for something different to stay in austin and I got just that. It was super clean and loved the radio when I walked in. The only thing it was missing was a TV but no biggie. I would recommend it to anyone
2454556,36069582,2015-06-24,9293479,Mary,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the airstream.  The neighborhood was very pretty and we where able to take  morning runs in the pretty neighborhood.  Accommodations were just as described and the location is near enough to the downtown are, which were touring.  WE Highly recommend this location."
2454556,36608252,2015-06-29,36206157,T Rein,Very cool and very Austin
2454556,37334049,2015-07-06,11278096,Deborah Christine,"My boyfriend and I had so much fun in Austin staying in the airstream. It was clean and safe. The bed was very comfortable, as well. Rene and Thomas were gracious hosts and I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Austin!"
2454556,41035797,2015-08-03,14195442,Adhana,"Super stylish hideaway on the south side.  Minutes away from food truck haven, yoga, and downtown.  Really enjoyed it and standing at 5'9"", I wasn't too tall for the trailer!"
2454556,43131759,2015-08-17,19077990,Kevin,"We had a great time during our recent visit to Austin. The radio was playing when we arrived, which really set the mood. The Airstream was very clean and well-decorated. There was another couple staying in the house when we were there and they were very nice. Everything was beyond expectation and we would stay there again in a heartbeat! I would definitely recommend booking with Rene and Thomas. "
2454556,44084765,2015-08-23,7575709,Matthew,We had a great time and loved staying in the Airstream. Lots of space and super clean.
2454556,44270150,2015-08-24,42203269,Ricky And Franky,Very cool trailer home with a retro vibe. The owners were very welcoming and made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a new 'hotel' experience. We look forward to coming back!
2454556,45181513,2015-08-31,14881579,Michele,We had a great time. Love the retro feel of the airstream. Rene was very helpful in our stay.
2454556,46222943,2015-09-08,23430362,Geri,"If you're looking for a fun trip with true Austin flavor, hop in the airstream and enjoy! Nice and clean, access to a shared bathroom, and we were able to meet Rene who was just sweet as can be! "
2454556,46946093,2015-09-14,19204489,Andrea,"Our stay in the airstream was great. We only stayed for one night, everything was exactly as pictured.  It was very easy to contact Rene and checking in and out could not have been more simple. Highly recommend a stay here."
2454556,47724754,2015-09-21,41499407,Michael,"My wife and I absolutely loved the stay at the Airstream. We mentioned it was her birthday and they went the extra mile to buy her a cupcake and wrote a note saying Happy birthday so she loved it. She also completely fell in love with the airstream. We never saw the host but they provided everything we would need. South Congress is right down the street too, which is where we spent a majority of our time. It was an amazing stay and we would definitely stay again. "
2454556,47893089,2015-09-21,44252102,Amy,"Oh wow did we have fun! My husband and I came to Austin for a little romantic get away and staying in the airstream was so perfect! It's so cute and stylized! They had beer and filter water in the fridge, fresh towels, microwaveable Mac and cheese and a Twinkie!!! Loved every second of it! The shared space in the house was not bad at all! Everyone was really cool and respectful. We are so inspired to get and airstream now! Totally recommend it!   "
2454556,48346985,2015-09-25,24677862,Katherine,"Rene and Thomas were kind and helpful hosts. Super responsive. The trailer was very comfortable, clean, and fun. I would love to stay there in the future!"
2454556,48723796,2015-09-28,40318626,Yvonne,"I had a good time staying in the airstream.  Renee and Thomas were quick and responsive to my questions.

Not having a bathroom was a bit of an adventure at night, since you need to go to the main house for that.

Overall I had a great time and would recommend this place.  Next time I would stay in the house, because that seemed like a better value and it has a nice aesthetic too."
2454556,49557355,2015-10-04,26740999,Anne,"Renee and Thomas are soooo sweet! I absolutely loved walking into the Airstream with music playing and the Twinkie made my night!! It is so bright in there but there's a wonderful warm energy in that space. It is super comfy on the bed and waking up to birds chirping was a great wake up call. The house was about 8-10 steps away so going inside for the bathroom was no biggie. I love the entire mid-modern feel they were going for. Speaking with them and meeting their daughter, they have a knack for design AND hosting and I am just happy I could experience this while in Austin."
2454556,49711752,2015-10-05,42161937,Marsha,"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rene & Thomas's ""agave ranch""! The winds stream was a dream with plenty of room and great atmosphere. My boyfriend and I came to. Austin for the ACL festival and our hosts were gracious enough to leave us a hand made survival kit, it came in handy! Only regret was that we couldn't stay longer, we will definitely be booking here again next time we head to Austin. Thanks guys!"
2454556,50115911,2015-10-09,12165652,John F,"AUSTIN

I had a great time at your wonderful Airstream. It had everything I needed to have to get work done and sleep a table to do computer work/check e-mails on and a bed to sleep. Everything was comfortable and relaxing. October in Austin was a nice time to attend a conference (between ACL weekends and not SXSW).

Rene and Thomas made it easy for me to get into the Airstream even though my arrival time changed a bit.

It's far enough out of the city to be relaxing and still close enough to be downtown in about 15 minutes.

I would stay here a again next time I'm in Austin."
2454556,50817662,2015-10-14,1229793,Kim,This place is great! Close to the heart of Austin. The airstream is so cheerful and bright! Loved it. 
2454556,51226012,2015-10-18,2766434,Sarah,"This place was awesome! Checking in was a breeze, as the hosts provided detailed check-in instructions in their initial confirmation. Everything was easy to access, including the common amenities in the house. I stayed in the airstream, welcomed with a cool blast of the AC and music on the radio :) I didn't actually end up seeing anyone during my stay, as I was in town for work and largely just in & out early and late. The space was really clean, which is something I'm usually pretty critical of (especially for an outdoor-ish space like this one). Bed was cozy, and the sink was nice to have in the Airstream so I could take care of essentials without having to go into the house. 

Small bonus: there were little snacks out for me, which was a nice touch. Didn't take any, but loved that they were there in case of emergency. 

The main areas were great, although I didn't utilize them much. Super cute retro living room, full kitchen, and a few games if you were up for lounging in the main areas. The backyard had great outdoor seating that I wish I had the time to enjoy!

Neighborhood was quiet, and the Airstream was located in a gated backyard with a lot of trees surrounding the place. Couldn't have asked for a more private, cozy experience. Would definitely recommend and stay here again when I'm back in Austin! "
2454556,51375230,2015-10-19,1852030,Collin And Lyndsey,"So great! My wife and I loved our adventures in south Austin, and Rene's place was so cool! Such a throwback we had with the retro trailer and oldies music playing when we got there. Absolutely recommend it! "
2454556,51682921,2015-10-22,46964709,Michael,Great stay in a very unique place. Highly recommended.
2454556,52315590,2015-10-28,5870100,Miranda,"We loved staying in this little gem while on our anniversary, it has charm to spare and if you are a photographer you will especially love the details. The weather was pretty rough part of the time we were there with torrential downpours and flooding in other areas and we really appreciated our hosts checking in on us to make sure we were ok during that time. When we first got there the pillows on our bed weren't enough support for my husbands bad back and they immediately helped us get some different ones. 
We would come back in a heartbeat! "
8140740,48014278,2015-09-22,76629,Adam,"Kat was an amazing host.  Her place was nice and clean and always responded promptly to any and all questions I had.  The post was exactly what was offered when arriving.  The rental was very centrally located and almost anything we wanted to get to was at the most 10 minutes away.  Also, when the wifi wasn't working she fixed it extremely quickly with no hassel.  Would definitely recommend staying at one of her properties."
8140740,48845945,2015-09-28,18094681,Jean,"The place was great and looked just liked the pictures. Great location, and great amenities. I booked this place with less than 24hr notice, and coordinated everything quickly and efficiently with Kat.

Flexible and very communicative with us upon our arrival and departure, with a great willingness to share anything about the town. Overall a nice quiet and quaint little place."
8538706,49538677,2015-10-04,7452803,Rebecca,"Ka was very accommodating and flexible. His home was a cute, eccelectic bungalow that was spacious and very homey. The place is perfect for a group of friends wanting to explore or hang out in Austin."

The room is very simple---just a bed and a lamp, but comfortable nonetheless. The kitchen is small, but easily workable, and Tri left plenty of space in the fridge. The bathroom does not have outlets (I think? I did not see any at least) so bring a small mirror if you use an electric shaver or whatever electronic mirror-requiring device you may have. It is a short drive to get to downtown from the house. The area nearby is nice to walk around in as well. Overall we had a good experience here and would come back again."

4533513,29346427,2015-04-06,99063,Josh,Tri's place was clean and looked as advertised.

In addition to being located very close to the UT Austin campus, Cozy Home... is set in a very beautiful part of Austin. You wake up in the morning to the sounds of birds chirping and the sight of lush greenery outside the room's windows (there are even bamboo thickets around). And Jonathan, Tri's housemate is a great conversationalist -- I am going to miss our discussions about entrepreneurship, education, etc. All in all, I had a great time. Thanks much Tri for providing me with a home in Austin."

4533513,32770162,2015-05-21,24121790,Freda,"Tri and housemate Jon were absolutely wonderful/friendly/funny hosts. The room is clean, neat and comfortable as is the whole house. The location is quite and suburban but still very close to anywhere you need to go (I walked a lot and Uber were always cheap if needed.) They were very generous with their time and local knowledge helping me with my questions about Austin cafes etc. Definitely recommend staying here, it has everything you need, is in a great location and great guys. :)"

4533513,35219106,2015-06-16,31962108,Luca,"Tri and Jon were very kind. I felt welcomed in their home. The apartment is really, really nice and they allowed me to use the kitchen and to watch their cool Apple TV. The room is good and it was relatively clean. Perhaps a small wardrobe or anywhere to hang clothes would be good, but overall it was an excellent deal. From the area downtown Austin is very accessible with buses, cabs or Uber. I would strongly recommend a stay at Tri's."
4533513,35528001,2015-06-19,16434679,Lance,"I had a great stay in Austin, TX. Tri's home is clean and comfortable.

4533513,38340648,2015-07-14,31919706,Varun,"Fantastic hosts. Jon, Tri's roommate at the time of my visit, was a gracious and welcoming host in Tri's stead (Tri was out of town for the most part of my stay, but when he returned, near the tail end of my trip, he was just as welcoming). 

Their home is walking distance to the UT campus, Lyft distance to anything else that matters and is clean and secure. Enjoy!"
4533513,38599080,2015-07-17,1606300,Aj,The room was perfect and Tri was a great host - he was welcoming even though I arrived early and gave some great recommendations. The location was also great - right next to the UT Austin campus and within walking distance (a couple miles) of downtown.
4533513,47472611,2015-09-19,37370001,Lizet,"Tri was friendly and responsive to my questions.  He was also flexible regarding check-in time.  In the end, I did not get a chance to spend the night at this airbnb due last minute scheduling conflicts, but I am sure it would have been a great stay."
4533513,49746818,2015-10-05,29834847,Stefania,"Great hosts, Tri is a legend.  Him and his crew took us out, was a great local taste of Austin.  Good location, 5 mins from downtown by lyft, can walk it. Recommended."

4533513,50995401,2015-10-16,2350936,Hieu,"Tri was a delight to stay with! The room was very clean, tidy and straightforward, and he was very welcoming. My husband and I were looking for a bridge night between when we flew in and staying with a larger group, and this was perfect.

"
4533513,51231220,2015-10-18,37091520,Nicolas,Excellent experience close to UT campus! Great for conferences at AT&T Center or to just stay for game day weekends. Would stay again. 
4533513,51834648,2015-10-24,45116020,Tom,"Tri is an absolute legend! Could not have been happier with my stay. Tri and Ronin made me feel very welcome and the place was exactly as advertised. Tri is the type of host that's happy to hang out and give you advice on things to do around town; or simply leave you to do you're own thing if that's more your twist.Really enjoyed my 4 nights with Tri. I'll be back ASAP. Thanks again mate, 'Yall' welcome in Aus anytime you want!
Tom "
4533513,52174409,2015-10-26,1495900,Monica,"We had a great stay in Austin! The weather was quite intense and many of our plans shifted but Tri was always responsive and easily accessible when communicating or coordinating. He even lent us a raincoat which was greatly appreciated.
He made us feel comfortable and welcomed in his home. Location is great, close to University and short Uber ride into downtown Austin. We would stay again in a heartbeat!!!"
4533513,52754147,2015-11-01,34150069,Nupur,Tri was very welcoming! My friend and I enjoyed his positive attitude and is definitely willing to help to make the stay more enjoyable and comfortable. 
6964491,39255727,2015-07-21,38028471,Leslie,Felt very welcomed with all of our simple yet easy communication before hand.every thing went well & as planned with our trip & after reading reviews on other hosts I am so glad we went with her. I loved this apt.sooo comfy I want to explor other places on my next trip but not sure if any could live up to this!!! Way cool.
6964491,44165393,2015-08-24,140424,Kathryn,"The host made me feel very welcome! She left towels and a welcome note for us. She was very good at communicating prior to our arrival, which made everything run smoothly. Neighborhood was night & quiet."
6964491,45755347,2015-09-05,11788186,Pamela,The apartment is awesome- just like the pictures! Super clean and cute. Went to the pool without a problem- got into the apartment super easily- great location- and Alyson responds super quick to anything..loved it :) 
6964491,50380383,2015-10-11,45532968,Laura,Cute and clean apartment! There was plenty of room to accommodate my friends and I. Alyson was great at communicating prior to our stay and very considerate. We loved it and would stay again!

2126912,11047109,2014-03-18,8352889,Ryan,"Amazing modern house right near the heart of downtown Austin. Stayed at Brennen's place with my co-workers for the SXSW music conference.  Tons of great food options and multiple bike rental kiosks near by, which allowed us to get anywhere we wanted in minutes. Everything about this place is state of the art. Very comfortable.

Brennen was very accommodating and addressed and took care of concerns almost immediately after I reached out to him. Everything relating to the transaction and logistics went super smooth. I would highly recommend this place to any group looking to have an awesome time in Austin. Hope to stay again soon!"
8723071,50411688,2015-10-11,45950078,Jennifer,Pam was a wonderful host. We were new to Airbnb and I was nervous to be staying in someone's house I didn't know. She made us feel extremely comfortable and went above and beyond. She even dropped us off at the ACL Festival and picked us up. Her home was very cute clean and in a great part of Austin. Her dog Harley was extremely sweet. If you want a great experience look no further. Thanks again! 
8723071,50712309,2015-10-13,45859478,Lynda,"Pam was very welcoming and hospitable! She provided us snacks and light food for breakfast, and even packed us food to go for our drives back home. My friend and I stayed there during ACL weekend, and Pam even offered to drop us off or pick us up from the festival. The location is clean, neat, and a perfect place for a weekend stay; super close to South Congress and a quick drive to downtown. "
8723071,51408871,2015-10-19,18441621,Zafanja,"We had a delightful stay with Pam and Harley. Pam gave us a first night to remember at the Hula Hut. When we decided to stay a couple of more days, it wasn't a problem at all. Pam had her advice and bikes ready for us. She even showed us around town in her free time. We miss Harley's cuddles and appetite. He made our experience complete. When we ever come back, we hope to stay with them again. We can recommend everybody to do the same!"
8723071,52794191,2015-11-01,15830499,Ted & Teddy,"Pam was a wonderful host! Such a nice stay with a great person. Her house is quaint, comfortable and well-worth the visit. Her dog Harley is possibly the most adorable dog I've ever met and will win you over in seconds."
2033051,13511333,2014-05-29,1423913,Kevin,Brooke is a great host!  Very accommodating and worked with us to find the perfect place for our stay.  Highly recommend.
2033051,21003431,2014-10-09,6610046,Lya,"Brooke is a great host, always responded promptly. The town home is perfect! Beautifully furnished, very cozy and clean. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. We had a great time and definitely recommend it! "
2033051,24420504,2014-12-28,3708750,Beer,"Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans cette maison, qui sentait ""comme la nôtre"", surtout pour les fêtes de fin d'année ! Spacieuse, bien décorée, une vraie maison de famille où nous avons pu nous détendre comme nous l'avons espéré. Communication excellente, prise en charge au top. Un grand compliment pour la maison, ses propriétaires et l'agence.

We have spent the most remarquable and wonderful Christmas week in this beautiful family home in Austin, exactly what we needed to discover Austin, to settle down for Christmas and ""live a life in Austin"" rather than touring like tourists. Good communication, great hospitality by Brooke. Compliments to the owners for the house and to Brooke for her capacities to make us feel at home."
3998768,20637077,2014-10-02,21941422,Michael,"The only only thing more magnificent than the attention to detail and extraordinary consideration of Julie is her smile and charm upon first meeting.  Julie went out of the way to make my stay here feel special, including a bottle of red wine and bar of chocolate set out upon arrival.  The simple beauty of the space is obviously well thought in regard to warm light and refined lack of clutter.  I really enjoyed the loftiest bed I could have been lucky enough to score, complete with fine cotton sheets and down comforter.  Julie even stocked the fridge with items for breakfast, including eggs, granola, fruit, and coffee!!  OTT, Over the top!!  My getaway was just what I needed in the quiet neighborhood of Hyde Park, super near Guadalupe St. (aka the 'Drag'), home to plentiful shops and food and music venues and such.  I highly recommend staying in Julie's sweet space if you appreciate finer things and want to meet one of the cooler people around!  Oh, and for those who enjoy plants and water, this place is sweet with abundant plant life that leave the air crisp and a Berkey water filter! Approve!"
3998768,20798132,2014-10-05,243001,Zac,"Julie's place was fantastic! It is nestled in our favorite neighborhood in Austin.  Its easy walking distance to many of our favorite places including Quacks, Ruby's BBQ, Chango's, Wheatsville Grocery store, Spiderhouse, and much more!
The apartment is a beautiful space tastefully outfitted with antique furniture and interesting art. The bed is a supremely comfortable memory foam mattress and pillows.  On top of this, Julie left many very nice supplies for us to use for our stay including a bottle of wine, nice bath soaps and breakfast supplies.  Our experience far exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend her place to anyone looking to visit Austin."
3998768,21165174,2014-10-12,21894738,Austin Price,"Great location, great vibe, very peaceful stay! Thanks again Julie "
3998768,21901394,2014-10-26,22192041,Joshua,"Julie was a wondeful host, the house was spotless. The neighborhood is very convienent, and I would absolutely stay here again. "
3998768,22197674,2014-11-01,21984322,Bryan,Loved the place! Julie also left us many amenities. The host is gracious and was extremely great to meet! Would book again in a heartbeat!!
3998768,22252381,2014-11-02,5975188,Mico,"Great place, great host! I will definitely recommend"
3998768,22659054,2014-11-11,22096057,Alyssa,"Julie's apartment was just as described and the perfect launching pad for us while visiting friends. It was clean and comfortable and Julie was very responsive to any questions before and during our stay. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable, even stocking the kitchen with some breakfast items for when we arrived. We were traveling with young children and the upstairs loft area was great for them to have their own space. Quiet neighborhood but very close to everything. Would highly recommend!"
3998768,24149832,2014-12-21,6529736,Matt,"Julie and her place are simply beyond compare. She went out of her way for a last minute booking, left wine and chocolate as welcome gift, and offered neighborhood guidance and city exploration advice all along the way. She's down to earth, well traveled, and carries a quick laugh that will slice through any jet lag. The place itself is full of charm, from a Berkey water filter to wood art, vintage towel hooks, and poetry on display. Everything from the furniture to the shower products to the beautiful bed are perfect choices and will leave you rested and smiling. 5 stars. Thanks, Julie!"
3998768,26476283,2015-02-13,27601039,Kris,"I cannot commend Julie enough here, but i'll keep it short.  She was a life saver on Thursday when we rented her place.  It was a last-minute deal and she did everything possible to accommodate us, even allowing us to get in early.  I was pleasantly surprised when she left us some iced coffee and trail mix, just for kicks.  The Cloud Palace is an adorable place and I would definitely stay there in the future. I really liked the table and chairs outside, it was a really beautiful, private place to sit and get some work done.  Can I give 5+ stars? She gets 5+ stars. "
3998768,26546376,2015-02-15,12680999,Lesley,"Julie's cloud palace was a wonderful place to stay for Valentines Day. She was flexible with our check-in time, and check-in was quick and easy. Julie was a wonderful host, she even left us some goodies to enjoy upon our arrival. The space itself was clean and very cozy. The bed was as dreamy and comfy as could be. The neighborhood was extremely convenient as well, only a $8 uber to 6th! Overall, I would definitely recommend. "
3998768,28074267,2015-03-17,25930359,Cai-Nicolas,"Nice an cosy welcome, we really felt like being at a friend's place! 

All was good and I can definitely recommend the awesome Cloud Palace. Bit pricy, though, but that may have been due to SXSW."
3998768,28361124,2015-03-22,18984345,Jamie,"Julie's home was beautiful and very cozy. The bed itself is a minor miracle--so ridiculously comfortable. The home is located in a very nice neighborhood and is within walking distance of many restaurants and stores. Also not that far from downtown. She was incredibly nice and easy to coordinate with. I highly recommend staying here, would do it again next time we're in Austin."
3998768,30557543,2015-04-24,27004865,David,"The place was as advertised. It was located in a very quiet and safe area in Hyde Park, one of the trendiest zones of Austin. 
The apartment itself has hardwood floors and a nice decoration. The apartment was very well taken care of, and clean.
The host received me with homemade pizza (excellent, by the way) + a bottle of wine + chocolate. This was very nice on her.
She was extremelly nice and welcoming. I rate this place as excellent. I would definitely go back there again, and I highly recommend it."
3998768,32005046,2015-05-12,2814927,Mike,"The Cloud Palace is very well titled - we consider ourselves fortunate to have had the chance to stay there for nine great nights whilst in Austin.  

The neighbourhood is peaceful yet has enough locally to keep the traveller fed and amused.  Julie made some very helpful suggestions in the Guide Book (and even by text when it became obvious that we hadn't read it) on where to go in the neighbourhood.  Transport into the University and town was really easy and convenient (although it's not a long walk).  

The Cloud Palace appears exactly as it is described and the bed is ridiculously comfortable! Julie has a great eye for detail and the furnishings and decor gave the place a true Texan feel.  Julie was such a fantastic host who not only accommodated us on very short notice but greeted us with wine and chocolate. 

We would highly recommend the Cloud Palace!"
3998768,32949153,2015-05-23,33780266,Yuan,Julie is a sweet host. My family really enjoyed one night living in her cloud palace. We highly recommend people to choose to live here. 
3998768,33123871,2015-05-25,6453340,Blake,"What a fabulous experience! My wife and I were in Austin celebrating our anniversary and Julie made the entire  time incredible. She had a card, chocolate, a bottle of wine, and breakfast for us upon arrival and had the place perfectly prepared for our stay. It was refreshing and better than we could have hoped. The bed is awesome and the place has a unique, cool vibe to it. I highly recommend The Cloud Palace. "
3998768,34307397,2015-06-07,7100761,Margaret,"In short, a fantastic play to stay with a fantastic host.

Julie is very friendly and went out of her way to make our stay a wonderful experience. She took into account what brought us to Austin in setting up the apartment for us and making suggestions from her detailed guidebook that might suit us. As some of the other reviews say, the bed is supremely comfortable; the place is as advertised and possibly even more lovely in person. It's obvious that Julie really enjoys hosting visitors in The Cloud Palace and does a good job of it. When we arrived, she showed us around the apartment, and then sat around and chatted with us for a bit.

The surrounding neighborhood is a lovely historic area with access to a number of restaurants and amenities, which Julie also took care to point out to us."
3998768,37898465,2015-07-11,32530000,Ray,"I was going through a bad breakup and needed a place away from my house and my ex for a couple of weeks, and this treehouse apartment was perfect. I used to live in this neighborhood and it's still the best part of Austin, central to everything, walkable, close to coffee and restaurants but quiet at night.

Julie knew about my situation and left me a really sweet card, and checked on me via email every once in a while to see how I was doing.

The bedroom was great, full kitchen was great, clawfoot tub in the bathroom was fantastic. I got a lot of reading and thinking done.

Honestly I wouldn't mind actually living here permanently."
3998768,41265252,2015-08-05,8488233,Guy,The location of this space was excellent. We walked to a different breakfast location every morning with a grocery store nearby. Julie is responsive and very sweet. 
3998768,43846509,2015-08-22,17287957,Martin,"The house is awesomely located, in a quiet neighborhood yet close to UT and other vibrant places. Everything can be done by foot. Julie was very helpful and gave us many good addresses! We were however disappointed for not having had the opportunity to meet her in person. Maybe another time! 
You'll love the cloud palace, it is a very relaxing place and beautifully decorated, we were delighted to stay there!"
3998768,48110457,2015-09-23,436703,Fiona,Julie is a fantastic and well-prepared host. The listing is walkable to restaurants along Guadalupe and is 20 min walk from campus.

3998768,52054331,2015-10-26,41253564,Deborah,"Julie's house was perfect for the four of us! It was very comfortable and in a convenient location for all we needed to do in Austin. She thoughtfully left us coffee and breakfast supplies, along with a bottle of wine! Great experience."
6975819,51029854,2015-10-17,28091902,Fernando,"Marisa and Clayton are excellent hosts! They are so nice that they even let me use their bikes. If you stay with them you will feel very welcome.

The room is spacious and very comfy. The kitchen and the living room are big too. The house also have a backyard that you can use if you want to stay outside. At the beginning I was a bit worried about the safety of the neighborhood, but in the end I found it to be pretty safe -- no complaints at all. I highly recommend you to stay with them."

2461924,28910052,2015-03-31,12222360,Amy,"This apartment is in a great location and Patrick is a very kind and accommodating host. This may not be the best place for a small family to stay, as it is definitely a bachelor pad. It was nice to have some flexibility with checking in and out, and when we contacted Patrick about an issue with the bathroom, he came back over to fix it the following day."
2461924,30344595,2015-04-20,14982927,Sarah,"We got to meet the host when we arrived which was nice. Over all the place was very nice, in an awesome location and right in front of a bus stop. We would stay again for any other Austin vacation. "
2461924,47844262,2015-09-21,27905094,Cameron,Place was cleaned up nicely and ready for us to stay. Awesome location! Host was very easy to work with. 
2461924,49452797,2015-10-04,41417814,Rodrigo,"The apartment is located right south of Downtown Austin. Great location with plenty of nearby options for food and drinks as well as public transportation. We chose this apartment due to its proximity to Zilker Park, since we were in town for ACL Festival. It worked quite well since we pretty much walked everywhere. Patrick was a great host and provided all the necessary information and amenities in the apartment. He also gave us some local tips on what to do in the area."
2461924,50437098,2015-10-12,19537253,Katie,"My experience with Patrick was great, he had great recommendations for local places to eat and was very easy to communicate with leading up to the stay. The accommodations however were less than satisfactory. This is definitely a bachelor pad, which is fine but it could have used a good cleaning prior to us arriving. The bed isn't very comfortable (just a heads up up for anyone with a bad back). The location was GREAT for ACL (we were able to walk to the festival- about a 25-30 minute walk), but like most places the price was raised substantially for the ACL weekend. "
2461924,51920597,2015-10-25,37606283,Brian,"Patrick’s place was perfect for the brief visit to Austin my fiancée and I made for a friend’s wedding at nearby Zilker Gardens. Not only was the apartment very conveniently located, it was neat, clean, comfortable, and Patrick was a great host: welcoming, friendly, and respectful. Upon arrival we walked over to the ABGB (Austin Beer Garden and Brewery) for lunch on his recommendation and really enjoyed the music, beer, and food. Added perks: Patrick gave us access to his Roku, the apartment is only about a 10-15 minute drive from the airport, and we were able to get Uber rides within 5 minutes of ordering. Highly recommended."
8426457,47936926,2015-09-21,44311121,Daniel,Benjamin was a really great guy who gave me a place to crash last minute. Come to find out we are both from the same town. Real chill and his roommates were cool too.
8426457,49731603,2015-10-05,22494318,Rebecca,"Benjy was a great host, and would communicate things to me in advance. He was friendly during my stay and would chat with me if there was time. The room was clean and had a homey feeling. The location was convenient for food and transportation as well. I had a great stay at his place, and would recommend it (especially for ACL or SXSW, etc). "
8426457,49869377,2015-10-06,12940234,Roy,"Ben was awesome. Him and his roommates are all chill, laid-back, and uber-friendly dudes. I really felt welcomed and comfortable at his place. It was spacious and perfect for what I needed at the time!

Thank you again Ben for being such a great host! I wish you only the best!"
8426457,52170437,2015-10-26,45932097,Ryan,"The house was in a perfect location, close to UT and downtown. The room was huge, very clean and extremely comfortable. Benjamin and his roommates were very accommodating and great people. They immediately made me feel welcome and as if I were visiting old friends. I could not recommend this location enough and I wouldn't hesitate to book again. "
359757,1025682,2012-03-20,1872621,RAZ: Rebecca A. Z.,"My friend and I had a wonderful stay in Ms. Sarah's humble abode during SXSW. I highly recommend her and Airbnb. For the same price, if not less than Motel 6 (which was 2-3x the normal price due to the festival) we had the opportunity to stay in a very ""Austin-esque"" apartment. It was great to be able to retire in a homey, mellow space after a long day/night. She is very courteous and gave us our full privacy for the entire stay. Thanks! "
359757,1363832,2012-05-28,2212430,Zach,Sarah is awsome great host.

The listing is a very much lived-in apartment, and not a ""destination"" or a treat of some kind, but it was a perfectly acceptable place to come home to each night and in which to eat breakfast each morning during a hastily-planned last-minute trip to SXSW."
7702099,41905491,2015-08-09,37902493,Brooke,"Jinny was a very kind and hospitable host! She went out of her way to ensure we had the best experience in Austin from texting us her favorite restaurants in the area, to inviting us out dancing. We also loved the home's location and how clean and comfortable our room was. The neighborhood is very safe and just a short drive from downtown.

A very welcoming presence, comfortable environment, clean & accommodating.  Jinny took me under her wing & showed me her community.  Jinny's home is cute, comfy & quaint.  Jinny's hosting style is very personable & engaging yet non-intrusive.  I felt like, I was staying at friend of a friends home that I had never met, while I was in town on business & we hung out when we weren't working. I walked away from this experience feeling relaxed & inspired.  Kudos to Air bnb, Jinny is a great ambassador of your brand..."
7702099,46554546,2015-09-11,20948461,Glen,Everything at Jinny & Daisy's place was fantastic; they're both very sweet and accommodating. The house is very hip with a great colorful vibe decorated with Jinny's art. The bed was very comfortable and the stay was even better than I had expected. I'd definitely recommend the stay for anyone interested in a quiet comfortable stay in Austin. 
7702099,48852425,2015-09-28,1591491,David,"I had a comfortable, hassle-free stay at Jinny's. The place is as it appears in photos--clean and modern. Would be happy to return. "
8423582,49687434,2015-10-05,35516033,Michael,"This house is GREAT.  Amazing back yard with an amazing pool.  The inside is really set up to comfortably sleep 8 in the main house and 2 in the separate apartment (2 queens and 4 single bunks in the main house, 1 queen in the apartment).  Then in addition to this, there  are 2 couches in the living room, 1 couch in the master bedroom, and 1 couch in the apartment.  Dana was amazing and helped us so much.  Neighborhood is amazing.  Dana even stocked the fridge with drinks.  Listing was accurate, would have liked more clear description that the 4th bedroom was separated from the main house and that the entrance for that was in the rear."
8423582,50521181,2015-10-12,44767137,Raja,The listing was accurate and it was close to downtown and 6th street. The pool is great and so are the rooms.
8423582,52120937,2015-10-26,36441713,Robert,Dana was very accommodating and responsive. House was nice with plenty of room. Would stay here again. 
6198536,41751446,2015-08-09,33696921,Leah,The host was very thoughtful and responsive to our needs. I rented the condo for a bachelorette party and he made sure to include things around the house to make our event/trip more memorable. The condo was very nice and he included lots of amenities so that we didn't have to pack them and bring them with us. The condo is right next to the pool which was amazing and we used constantly throughout our stay. We also walked the short distance to the river and went paddle boarding/kayaking one day. The condo is only a short ten minute uber ride to downtown.
6198536,42720030,2015-08-15,15564905,Jenny,"Location was amazing. Shane was very kind!! The place was comfortable, clean and spacious!! We were very happy!!"
6198536,45959429,2015-09-07,38355264,Kristen,Shane was a nice host. The place was very conveniently located- right by a paddleboard and kayak rental site and a quick uber ride to downtown. Thank you! 
6198536,46784727,2015-09-13,25368564,Seth,"Great location and amenities. Enjoyed the kitchen and roomy condo. Easy access to main roads and clean. Will stay again

Thanks!"
6198536,51523524,2015-10-21,33780817,Bob,"Shane made sure we had everything we needed. The condo was cool and comfortable for three couples.  The  Pool was just outside the door and Lady Bird Lake was just outside the complex where we had a dinner one night and rented Kayaks the next. The walkway that wraps around the lake is perfect for walking, jogging or riding as bike. Overall experience was wonderful."
5470495,28062602,2015-03-16,28647128,Danniel,"Ben is seriously the nicest guy. After a week of not being able to book anything on AirBnB, I found Ben the day of my trip. He not only responded to my request quickly, but was kind enough to let me stay at his place on incredibly short notice. Beyond that he was always available for recommendations and instructions on getting around the city. And that's just Ben. The accommodation itself quickly felt like home, food was always available and privacy was never a problem. I really truly appreciated the experience, and my gratitude goes out to Ben. Thanks."
5470495,28194580,2015-03-19,25855414,Kat,"Ben is an excellent host that genuinely cares about his guests. He took our request at really short notice & we had good communication up to and during our stay. He provided us with many recommendations in Austin and also for our other destinations - everywhere we have been to has been a gem! Our stay was greatly enhanced by Ben's guidance, enthusiasm & hospitality.
As for the place, it's clean, comfortable and has plenty of space. It's in a great area and a short train ride to Downtown. Would definitely stay here again."
5470495,32869546,2015-05-22,4133601,Manuel,"Benjamin was a great host, definitely made us feel welcome. Being the first time in Austin gave us a good overview of what there was to do and places to eat in Austin. The place was very nice, very homey definitely would recommend to others. Thank you."

5470495,42053661,2015-08-10,13878803,Jordan,"Benjamin was an awesome host! Very helpful and answered all of my questions about Austin. He even drove me to the store the first day after my luggage was lost at the airport. My room was nice and cozy, would definitely recommend!"
5470495,43293760,2015-08-18,33861154,Sarah,"Ben was a wonderful host! His place is cozy and perfect for an extended stay. His house is conveniently located next to the metro rail for easy access to downtown. The room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable. I would definitely book again and recommend his place to my friends and family. 
P.S. If you're really nice he might even throw in a free cooking lesson."
5470495,44841667,2015-08-29,33774653,Oscar,Ben was an amazing host. Very chill and always willing to help and let me know about Austin. The room was very nice and welcoming. The city was awesome.
5470495,49127494,2015-10-01,24172653,Santyago,"It was my first time renting through this web and I really liked the place. 
Benjamin was very helpful, kind and I appreciate what He did for us. 
Highly recommended. "
5470495,49775835,2015-10-06,39973653,Nicholas,"First time using Airbnb for me, but with such a positive experience we'll definitely use it again. Ben was a great host from the second we walked and gave us some great advice on Austin's bars and eats. The ramen place down the street form his place is on point. 

We stayed over ACL weekend and the house is in a great location for public transportation. Ben even gave us a couple free bus passes. No complaints about the house either, just great all around stay. Highly recommend to anybody.

5171709,26657869,2015-02-16,13244857,Andrew,"Sydney was an excellent host, quick replies to all of my questions, and the apartment was in tip top shape and extremely cozy! Would definitely recommend this location. 

Andrew"
5171709,26963828,2015-02-22,6445588,Nora,"Fabulous location, free parking and from our experience, it was very safe. Sydney was pleasant to communicate with and her place is very clean and beautifully decorated. "

"
5171709,28091629,2015-03-17,8266152,Frank,"Sydney was a great host, super responsive and accommodating. Her place was very clean and she had obviously gone to a lot of trouble to prepare for our arrival. Clean linens and towels were waiting for us as well as  a nice note with WiFi info. The apartment is located in a very nice quite part neighborhood with easy access to downtown Austin. Never paid more than $10 for an Uber / cab home.  Would absolutely stay here again. "
5171709,29085031,2015-04-03,8677509,Hannah,Great experience. Sydney was easy to communicate with and quick when responding. Cozy apartment with a very comfortable bed! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area! 
5171709,30799860,2015-04-27,5435694,Brittany,"Everything about this apartment and location is ideal! I would stay here again every time I visit Austin. It's beautifully decorated, the kitchen is stocked with all the right tools for cooking, very comfortable bed and an air mattress in the living room. I was more than thrilled with the accommodations! The location is walking distance to shops, restaurants to the main downtown area and a wonderful walking trail. "
5171709,32032923,2015-05-12,7896366,Kayla,Our stay was great! Place looks just like the photos and walking distance to great restaurants and a small grocery store. Thank you so much for a lovely stay! 
5171709,32145708,2015-05-14,22071356,Sara,Sydney was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Good location downtown and apartment was decorated nicely (West Elm-ish) but I didn't care for the motel-esque apartment complex and it should have been cleaned MUCH more thoroughly prior to our arrival. 
5171709,32843349,2015-05-22,14452150,Maria,"Sydney was an awesome and gracious communicator and very easy to work with. Her place is very conveniently located in a great area near downtown. The apartment is clean, tastefully decorated, and the bed is super comfy. I highly recommend and would definitely stay there again."
5171709,33300007,2015-05-26,32967009,Vicki,"Sydney was a great host! Very welcoming. Her apartment is in a great location - very close to fun restaurants/bars and Lady Bird Lake trails. We had a car with us, and luckily were able to use her visitor pass to park in the lot right outside. 

We were in Austin during some of the major storms/flooding, and Sydney was very sweet to check in with us to make sure everything was OK. She was always responsive if we had any questions.

The only minor thing was that there were 3 of us staying there instead of 2, so there weren't enough towels/sheets. But otherwise her place comfortably fits 3!"
5171709,33596399,2015-05-30,4883305,Crista,"Initially, this place looked really cute (especially in the photos) however once we got in we realized it wasn't as cozy as we expected.

A few things:

1. This place does NOT have two beds, only one. My BFF & I had to share the full size bed (luckily we've done it before) however we were expecting two beds like the listing says. This place would NOT accommodate four, two is plenty -that is, if you're both willing to sleep in a full size bed (which I haven't done in years)

2. The shower is nothing like you would expect in a place labeled a ""retreat"" - the water pressure is weird and kind of just drips on you. Also, there were only 2 towels provided to 2 girls staying 3 nights - it worked out, but a second set would have been a nice touch.

3. The trash was not changed prior to our arrival and the place was not as clean as I thought it could have been prior to having guests (us). 

4. There was a French Press on the counter however when opened, we discovered dirties in it. We never did find coffee, so I don't know if it was provided or not (I'm thinking not) 

The price we paid AFTER being refunded some of our monies due to a pest issue was an appropriate amount of $$ to pay for this place, however I don't think I'd stay here again. To Sydney's defense, she was super duper nice and easy to deal with! 
"
5171709,34309716,2015-06-07,18351647,Rachel,Sydney was a great host. She was very communicative and informative. The description of her place was accurate and very tidy and comfortable. It is located in an apartment complex on the west end of 6th street. 
5171709,34949026,2015-06-14,5523011,Joe,"Sydney's place was wonderful! Location-wise, you can take a pleasant stroll down 6th street and you're in the heart of Austin in 20 minutes or so, and Lyft/taxi rides are very affordable. The bed was nice, the place was clean, and Sydney made arrival and departure seamless. The apartment is also very quiet, which is great after a long day of adventuring under the hot sun."
5171709,36634805,2015-06-29,36712512,Bethany,"If you stay at this place (which you should) check out Clarks oyster bar—right down the street and a quick walk. Seafood lovers rejoice! Now to the room—clean, quaint, comfortable, and a quick walk from shops and other restaurants. The water pressure was awesome (I know someone addressed that in a previous review) and the place fit us three girls comfortably. Sydney was super nice and available by text with any questions we had. The apartment complex is quiet and safe—perfectly suited for our girls weekend. "
5171709,37938354,2015-07-11,27225431,Tommy,The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5171709,38064023,2015-07-12,18380412,Ian,Sydney provided a great place for us to stay for the weekend. The apartment was clean and well kept. The location was great. We were able to walk to some restaurants and a short Uber ride away from downtown. 
5171709,38327499,2015-07-14,35432008,Janessa,"We were a little in shock when we arrived. The pictures make it look so open and light and welcoming, we were expecting a really nice apartment complex or condo. The place is actually a converted motel, and it doesn't look nearly as high end as the pictures make it seem. She did a great job with the place but it was still a little hard to get over. The place is in a great neighborhood with fun restaurants and stuff nearby and a short ride into sixth. Sydney was great to work with. I hate to sound negative but I think people should know about the complex itself, as we likely would have chosen another spot if we had known."
5171709,39814655,2015-07-26,37494971,Joshua,"Sydney was a great host. This was my first airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been made easier. Everything was clean and comfortable, and looks as exactly as advertised. The apartment is close enough to the action that you can still walk, but still far enough that you're not bothered by any noise. It's also a great location for runners, as it's close to the Ladybird Hike and Bike Trail. "

Linda was so kind and hospitable and made us feel right at home from the moment we stepped in the door. Her house is absolutely spotless, the rooms are comfortable, and Linda is fun to talk to! The location of Linda's house is very close to major highways and a quick drive to downtown. Having lived in Austin, I am very partial to the area of Linda's house and love staying in the southwest area of the city when I visit. I highly recommend Linda's house for your next trip down to Austin, you will not be disappointed!"

Linda is a lovely hostess and really made us feel at home.  She invited us to water aerobics at the YMCA.  The Y is just a mile away and is a very lovely facility; Linda's neighborhood is also pleasant and safe, and is ideal for running, walking, or taking a bike ride.  I wish we could have stayed longer and I would definitely stay again.  Thank you Linda!"
979747,12932631,2014-05-14,14900608,Ying,"My wife, my niece and I stayed at Linda's house for two nights last week in Austin. Linda was so kind and hospitable and made us feel at home.

Our stay was enjoyable and we'll back again!"

I didn't get to meet Linda but her instructions were very clear. Her house was very nice, comfortable, and clean. It was at a good location with healthy food options nearby. We ate at Kerbey's for breakfast, the rest of the time we were closer to downtown. It only a 10-15 min drive to downtown.  I plan to check airbnb first when I travel now.   "

979747,21279552,2014-10-14,14328348,Maria,"Our host, Linda, was very welcoming. Her home is in a very nice quiet neighborhood in Austin. It was very safe and accessible to everything we had planned to do while in town.  Linda was very friendly and went out of her way to be accommodating. Her home was clean and neat. She allowed us to use her kitchen as needed and told us to make ourselves at home which was nice. There was parking available for our rental car.
 Linda offered to make us breakfast each morning, but, unfortunately, we were on the go a lot and left her house by 9:30 or 10:00 each morning and she hadn't yet gotten up to make the breakfast. This wasn't a big deal at all though since we had some favorite restaurants in town that we wanted to hit!  All in all, this airbnb was a great first experience and I would definitely stay with Linda again if I ever get back to Austin. "
979747,21408582,2014-10-16,21552451,Ram,Linda was very welcoming. She had the place all ready to go upon my arrival with clean sheets and towels.

979747,25859405,2015-01-27,26183615,Jan,"i was happy with this introductory to airbnb, in fact to any bnb....much more pleasant than motels.  linda was enthusiastically welcoming and accommodating and informative about the area and airbnb itself.  she's had a varied and interesting life and is an accomplished woman overall.  she is open-hearted and warm, and makes the guest feel at home quite easily.

the area is quiet, well-groomed, and easy to navigate.  there are shopping and eateries nearby with easy access to freeways for farther destinations.

i'll look forward to staying with her again in the future....as linda herself said ""i feel like i've made a new friend.""  "

She welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home. She offered us breakfast  and made anything in her kitchen available to us.

Conor was a fantastic host and quite the eclectic dynamic weird (in all of the best ways possible) dude you would ever hope in a host at a hostel in Austin! Super attentive and accommodating fella, the place was super clean, towels and sheets and mattresses and all. We had a rockin good experience and time! And he'll sit you down with a map and give you the down low on Austin and all of his personal recommendations which were spot on. Yup! If you're looking for a hostel experience that is unique and fun and overall a rip roarin good time Conor is your man! "

8090472,48849592,2015-09-28,25334879,Sanne,"Stayed in Conor's Cat Lady Suite for 3 nights and am glad I did! Even though I was incredibly tired upon my arrival, Conor and some of the other guests convinced me to go two-stepping in the evening. Conor showed us some amazing spots down town and ensured we were having a good time. Conor's recommendations of places to go to were all spot on. It was easy to get into town from his place by bus and the house was clean and comfortable. Thanks for everything, Conor! "

8090472,51551032,2015-10-21,13687500,Cristina,"Conor est une personne fort sympathique, son logement est propre ;
Par contre il faut que sur l'annonce il doit stipuler que c'est une sorte d'auberge de jeunesse, car nous avons eu la surprise de recevoir un mail nous stipulant que l'endroit n'était peut être pas fait pour nous car venions avec 2 enfants de 12 et 13 ans et que nous trouverions un moyen d'annuler et que nous devions trouver un autre logement si celui ci ne convenait pas.
Il aurait fallut le savoir avant de confirmer la réservation.
Nous avons maintenu la réservation car avions décidé que si le logement ne convenait pas, nous demanderions à notre logeur de nous régler l'autre logement! Mais comme nous sommes habitués à voyager, nous avons tenté l'expérience avec nos enfants! il est vrai que le fait que nous soyons que 4 dans la chambre cela a facilité notre décision de rester! les photos ne correspondent pas celles du site, la salle de bain qui est en photo ne l'avons pas vue!

sinon pour des adultes qui ont l'habitude comme nous de voyager, la maison est très confortable , propre et Conor est super sympathique, il est à connaitre."

Public transportation to downtown is easy. If you're looking for fancy, you might find better value elsewhere. If you're looking for a unique experience, Conor's is the place."
8090472,52767528,2015-11-01,28070492,Juan,"Connor was an awesome guest! He made our stay at Austin even better than what we expected! He was really kind and made us feel just at home! We even stuck around to play guitar and sing with him.

Bus is literally less than 2 minutes walking, so no need for uber or taxi.

Would definitely return to this airbnb whenever I come back. "

Thank you Cindy. "

Also Alyson was an amazing host, she showed us great places we can visit and also she even took me to her own yoga class it was very fun! I will never forget my experience there, and there for I would recommend this for anyone so pack your bags and get ready to make some great memories and not to mention the experience of a life time."
78757,504656,2011-09-05,1036925,Jasmine,"Alyson is very warm and welcoming.  She has so much knowledge about places to go in Austin and she provided us with relevant information and maps for our Austin adventures. Alyson was so accommodating and willing to work with my group's plans...even with some last minute changes.

Her space was very relaxing and peaceful! It was in such a beautiful (email hidden) friends and I were shocked.  I would recommend her space to anyone looking for a location that is relaxing, beautiful and close to downtown Austin and Zilker Park.  Don't let her beautiful space pass you by! "
78757,549205,2011-09-20,556830,Kelly,Alyson was a fantastic host!  Her home was warm and welcoming and she was more than happy to help us nurse our ACL injuries back to health.  Anytime I go to Austin I will always check with Alyson first before checking with any hotels.
78757,781117,2011-12-12,1474419,Roland,"Alyson was very cordial and went above and beyond my expectations.  It's a must stay if you are in the Austin area.  Thanks Alyson!

78757,852873,2012-01-09,1313420,Jennifer,"Alyson is amazing! Such a warm, wonderful person, as is the Lotus House. Superb location in South Austin, easy walking/biking distance to S. Lamar or a short drive to anywhere downtown. Definitely recommended!!!"
78757,859000,2012-01-12,1573681,Eileen,"I had a great time staying with Alyson!  The house is just beautiful, and Alyson was so, so helpful and nice.  She even saved me food from her potlucks which I took to lunch (I was in town for a conference) - lucky me!  The airbed was a really quality one - I slept great.  I would totally come back!  Oh yeah, and the cat (dear prudence!) is adorable - I wanted to steal her!"
78757,894359,2012-01-31,1599287,Javier,I had a really nice stay in this wonderful place! Alyson is a very nice host and really was a pleasure to stay at her peaceful home.Thanks  Alyson!
78757,1001826,2012-03-15,7054,Mei Lin,"Alyson has created a haven of relaxation - I could barely pull myself away from her home, to go to SxSW, the ostensible reason for my visit to Austin.  The cycle ride along the Lady Bird Trail is an immersion in nature - yet what a great way to get to downtown and the South By venues. In the evenings sitting on the sun porch watching the sun go down was one of the highlights of my stay."
78757,1068565,2012-04-01,1747393,Tracy,The Lotus House is amazing! Really nice setting. Alyson is very friendly and a great host. I'd definitely stay there again :)
78757,1132988,2012-04-15,927768,Peony,"Alyson is a lovely, warm host and we very much enjoyed our stay at the lotus house. Her place is just as pictured- serene, peaceful and clean in a beautiful and convenient area of Austin. I especially appreciated how easily Alyson accommodated our need to stay an extra day in the area, although it was a last minute decision. I would highly recommend her home for other airbnbers and would definitely stay with Alyson again next time I'm in Austin."
78757,1172503,2012-04-23,50893,Chris,"I had great time staying with Alyson. I got my own space, my own entrance, and she even had little maps and tourist crap for so i knew what to do in town. The house was in a great area and Alyson and her boyfriend were fun to chat up.  I would go back again in a heartbeat"
78757,1238646,2012-05-07,1017404,Amy,"Alyson was a fantastic host! Her place was tranquil, clean, and perfectly located. She provided us with details about the neighbourhood as well as suggestions on places to eat, things we might want to check out, etc....We would certainly stay with her again and would recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin."
78757,1276667,2012-05-14,1931174,Cindy,"Alyson is such a great hostess and has a lovely home.  She was my personal GPS and extremely patient with me when I discovered how directionaly challenged I have become!  

I would highly recommend Lotus House to anyone visiting the Austin area. "
78757,1376087,2012-05-29,1358395,Sierra,"The home is tucked away among greenery and a charming neighborhood near Barton Springs.  She has created an inviting an organic living space for her guests. The view from my room was of natural ivy, trees and plenty of natural, diffused light. 

Alyson was great at communicating. She introduced herself days before my arrival and took care to be available if I needed anything. Instructions and tips were provided and thorough.

Not only is she a spectacular house host, but a host for Austin as well. She offered knowledge of local yoga, meditation, healing and dance classes. She also shared recommended restaurants and hangouts to try out. 

(I hope Lotus House is available next time I come visit!) :)"
78757,1444256,2012-06-09,394960,Honey,"Alyson and Max were gracious hosts. The room and house are clean. The location is in a great, very centrally located neighborhood, very close to a lot of what you want to see and do when you're in Austin.  It is a great value. I would be eager to stay there again."

78757,2550153,2012-10-08,1216031,Lindsey,We had a great stay in the Lotus House. Alyson was laid back yet attentive and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was quiet and peaceful and the location was a short drive from downtown. We plan on staying here again for our Austin weekend trips.
78757,2709378,2012-10-24,3818065,Christophe,"Wonderful and very flexible hosts! Alyson & Max will bring you to the best mood ever :-)  
Bonus: A quiet neighborhood ! 

Thanks for everything!!"
78757,2755596,2012-10-29,2773117,Chelsea & Alex,"Alyson was a generous and fantastic host and beyond accommodating. She had dinner party plans on our first night and offered to move us into a more private room to make sure that we would be comfortable. Communication was extremely smooth, and she did everything possible to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. On top of that, the home is beautiful and has a very peaceful and relaxing energy. We really enjoyed hanging out in the sun room. I would love to come back and would recommend the Lotus House to anyone!"
78757,2815413,2012-11-05,3901663,Garrett,"This was my first airbnb experience.  I will definitely make this my first call the next time i go to Austin.  The location was essentially perfect - less than 10mins by car to Downtown Austin.  My only regret is that i was so busy i didn't have much time to hang out in the Sun Room and enjoy the ambiance - but there's always the next visit.  Thank you Alyson and airbnb.

Alyson was very kind and helpful host. "

I will definitely be renting from Alyson again.

78757,3109593,2012-12-17,3064423,Audrey Et Sylvain,Very very good place. Great Location and nice room in Austin.
78757,3396979,2013-01-22,747114,Bob,"So Alyson and Max are the perfect hosts.  Just the right touch of being friendly combined with the ability to give and create space.  The house is very nice and contains the world's cutest cat.  In terms of location it's an 8 minute drive to downtown and close to Barton Springs when they reopen. 

Plenty of awesome places to eat and South Congress is a delight to stroll down.  The chocolate chip cookies at Jo's are terrific.  And when offered to attend one of Alyson's yoga classes, go.  She's a terrific teacher. "
78757,3510451,2013-02-10,4928190,Dan,"The room was great--very comfortable. Kitchen, washer and drier were easy to use and the sun room made me want to stay forever. On top of that, Alyson and Max were excellent hosts! Friendly, but respectful of privacy. This was my first airbnb experience and I couldn't imagine it going any better."
78757,3589461,2013-02-19,3639269,Amy,"What a great welcome.....a green drink!  How did they know I like green drinks?  :)

Alyson was delightful and the room was perfect!  Such a great collection of books!  I ordered 2 from amazon!  

Peaceful and spiritual space! "
78757,3637392,2013-02-26,5067737,Brian,"Alyson and Max were perfect hosts. Max leaves a pump thermos of delicious coffee on the kitchen counter early each morning. The house is very comfortable and sunny. The room with the attached bath is spacious; the bed is very comfortable.  The location is on a quiet street, but near downtown and the Austin action. We will definitely try to stay here again."
78757,3679642,2013-03-03,439946,Alan,"Alyson and Max were wonderful hosts - warm, relaxed, interesting. The room is very cozy - really comfortable bed, great shower in attached bathroom. The house is also really nice, with excellent sunset views of the Texas skies from the front room. Quiet, safe neighborhood minutes away from everything.

Highly recommended!"
78757,3743709,2013-03-11,466410,Jesper,"Beautiful place. Nice room with a nice adjacent bathroom and inspiring books. Max and Allyson where wonderfully helpful. If you are not by car, rent at bike to go downtown - then you'll have a perfect stay."
78757,3782592,2013-03-14,4711908,William,"The house is gorgeous.   The entire place is very comfortable with a spiritual vibe that make it feel healthy just being there.

The kitten who shares the house is super sweet and a great addition to the experience.  

If in Austin, this is a gorgeous place to stay.   "
78757,4109076,2013-04-10,3634714,Adam,"We stayed in the library room, it was like a nice dark cave for sleeping.  The setting of the house is very relaxing, and we spent a good amount of time sitting in the front sun room soaking up the sun.  We had everything we needed and it was great.  House is close enough for the ambitious walker to hoof it over to Barton Springs, or a short bike ride."
78757,10686894,2014-03-03,8998379,Tran,"I had a wonderful experience staying at the Lotus House's library room. It's a special relaxing & lovely place for those looking for a rest and some personal downtime. After each hectic day in town I took a warm bath and sat in the sun room to soak in the incredible night view. Another favorite was practicing yoga in the morning while enjoying the garden view right outside your room. With Alyson out of town Max was always there when you need him while staying out of sight. I appreciate the little touches such as water bottles, coffee in the morning, snacks and cake, not to mention other incidentals this absent minded traveler forgot to bring. I sure look forward to stay here again (and longer) next time in Austin!"
78757,10922036,2014-03-13,10182236,Becky,"I recently stayed at the Lotus House for SXSW and couldn't have had a better experience. This was my first time booking a trip through Airbnb and it did not disappoint. Alyson was very sweet and easy to work with. The house is conveniently located, close to downtown Austin. The room and bathroom were clean, which is a must. Overall it was all that I could have asked for. If I return to Austin I will definitely stay here again!"
78757,11898956,2014-04-18,6110836,Danielle,"Hi had a really great time in Austin and felt very lucky to have found the Lotus House. Alyson and Max were great hosts and made sure I had everything I needed. There were fresh flowers throughout the rooms and they gave me a lot of extra food so that my grocery shopping was cut in half. The proximity to Barton Springs and the hike n bike trail was awesome. A great retreat for those interested in running, swimming, biking, and yoga."
78757,12135703,2014-04-23,5862955,Hannah,"Lotus house was the perfect stay for a long weekend in Austin. The house is welcoming and relaxing with a great view from the sunroom. The location was optimal for our trip. 
Thank you Max! "

78757,16952709,2014-08-04,6529736,Matt,"The Lotus House was just right! This room is large, completely dark at night (for a great sleep), and has both a bathroom and washer/dryer directly off of it. Felt like I had the place to myself. Terrific communication from the hosts even in the midst of their own traveling."
78757,17403391,2014-08-11,13732816,Mitzi,Alysons room was just right. There was a full bath also. Clean and quite. The room was right off the kitchen and had a patio door to go outside.
78757,18500084,2014-08-27,15224891,Francois,"I already went to Alyson's place 2 years ago, and it still a pleasure to go there. Very clean, very nice and discret. Thanks a lot Alyson to share your awesome house with such kindness! See you soon !"
78757,20152124,2014-09-24,5960352,Sarah,"My husband and I stayed at the Lotus House for 3 days and found it to be a very relaxing and comfortable accommodation.  Alyson and Tyler were helpful, laid back hosts. It should be noted that the house is located in a very hilly neighbourhood, and is a 15-20min walk to the nearest main street. With a rental car this would be fine but on foot or by bike, this is a bit challenging. "
78757,20442774,2014-09-29,13410933,Thomas,"Lotus House was the perfect place for my stay in Austin. Allyson is relaxed, very nice and is also helpful in terms of places to eat nearby. There are plenty! I liked the location- quiet in a nice neighborhood but very near Lamar avenue and the rest of town. Lotus House itself is very attractive. I would definitely come back here."
78757,20950093,2014-10-08,8944403,Deirdre,"Alyson was very respectful of our privacy and always prompt to respond to our questions via text. The neighborhood is quiet and the house is a perfect location for your ACL weekend. If you plan on exploring all the different areas Austin has to offer (6th Street, Rainey, East Austin etc.) I would suggest a rental car for this location. We did not have a rental car for most of our trip and we ended up spending a lot of time and money (busses and Ubers) getting to and from the Lotus House. "
78757,21200815,2014-10-13,19307345,Alex,"A very comfortable room and the hosts made us feel very welcome. It was a great location for ACL, except maybe a little hilly to walk back after standing for 8 hours."
78757,22592079,2014-11-10,19314631,Orion,"Alyson and Max were both super nice and fun to be around.  The house was great and in a perfect location in South Austin, close to Barton Springs and the Greenbelt.  I had a great time and highly recommend them."
78757,25900682,2015-01-29,247126,Joshua,"Alyson and Max were welcoming and accessible.  We ended up staying in the other room in the house which was slightly more private, spacious and cozy.  Kitchen was useful and available.  Overall, we found this to be a great base to visit Austin."
78757,28164329,2015-03-19,7024855,Gerrit Jan,"I enjoyed my stay at the Lotus House. It's a nice quiet location. Max is a relaxed host. He picked me up at the airport, and dropped me of when I left, which was really convenient. Would certainly consider it for a second visit. 

 "
78757,49786138,2015-10-06,21742135,Stacey,"Max was was very friendly, accommodating and hospitable. Very clean bathroom and bedroom! Had access to the kitchen, living room and open area of the house! The room was great, as was the outside area. Also, had a place to park our car off the street! Will definitely stay again!

Note: If you're going for ACL, it is in walking distance (1.6 miles) but it's a very hilly walk! Doable, just be prepared because the bicycle taxis will not go up the hill(s) :) "
78757,50635310,2015-10-13,36221590,Geralyn,"Everything about our stay at the Lotus House was perfect!! It's a dream house! The place is artistic and beautifully decorated, clean, and Max went above and beyond - offering tea/ coffee/ bagels etc. He even sent a quick text daily asking if we needed anything which was so thoughtful. It was quiet and serene. I can wait to stay again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin- what a gem! We could even walk back and forth from downtown! Thank you! Geralyn "
8421657,47911769,2015-09-21,31376284,Casey,Home was close to town and had a very Austin vibe which was a great thing!  light were left on and home was ready when i arrived :-)

8421657,51338804,2015-10-19,16681776,Jeremy,Taylor was great. Easy to communicate with. Had no issues. Place was clean and was just what we needed. I'd stay here again for sure.
8421657,52759159,2015-11-01,46236518,Kristin,"The space what a great amount of room and space. The Lyft trip was close to downtown and about the price in the listing. Check in was a breeze since Taylor arranged key pickup, which was nice. The airbnb listing didn't provide the direct location, which caused a bit of confusion prior to check in the day of, the address and map were two different locations. After a direct text to Taylor that was quickly resolved. "
8421657,53067760,2015-11-04,30714275,John,"A convenient location to south Austin and downtown, only a few minutes drive. Epic movie selection and quiet neighborhood. One downfall is there isn't WiFi. Otherwise, solid pad."
4613843,32304127,2015-05-16,22586442,MINT Hospitality™,My girlfriend and I stopped for some R+R while traveling thru Austin.  Sommer was the best host we could have asked for... She went out of her way to make us feel at home.  Her place was meticulous.  It gave the feeling of a fancy boutique hotel.  
4613843,32576155,2015-05-19,28462811,Jessica,"This was my boyfriend and I's first AirBNB experience, and we were nothing short of blown away. The house was immaculate yet cozy, the neighborhood pretty and peaceful, and our hosts welcoming and accommodating throughout our entire stay. They even let us bring our two big dogs! They did little things that made all the difference. They stocked the kitchen with particular coffee per request, and left us an anniversary spread of chocolate and wine + flutes in our room! To top it off, Sommer and Dan were so friendly I'd book again just to come hang out and get to know them better. Five stars all the way!"
4613843,43746229,2015-08-22,29523207,Ilya,"I was looking for a nice place to stay, but found... friends! And a nice place to stay. Sommer and Daniel are two of the coolest people I've ever met! Both very friendly and welcoming, and both strive to make your experience in Austin unforgettable. I was a long-term guest, and I loved every day of my stay in Austin because of these two guys. 

The house and the room were very clean, very welcoming, and very comfortable. I really felt like I was home! Sommer took a great care of the room and the house. My stay could not have been better, and it was pretty sad to have to leave. I will definitely stay in touch with Sommer and Daniel, and Sommer's place will definitely be my first pick next time I'm in Austin!

Also, I highly recommend taking advantage of the fitness perks :)"
4613843,49162169,2015-10-01,37359069,Kehlin,"Great place to stay. I felt like I was treated like I was apart of their family. We had some enlightening conversation about life and innovation. They have very good taste in movies, and their netflix playlist is awesome if you are ever bored on a saturday evening. "
4613843,51532177,2015-10-21,21851490,Mandy,"My father enjoyed his stay with you and Daniel and your sweet dog, Cali.  His room was comfortable and he also enjoyed getting to know you, Sommer, and Daniel during our stay.  I am glad I was able to get a room for him at your house!"

1602794,8216833,2013-10-21,5272458,Jonah,"Great modern town house. Just as described. Jukebox and pinball machine are a blast. Joe communicated well and was very accommodating. A really nice, spacious place to stay in South Austin. Nothing bad to say, really."
1602794,8320870,2013-10-25,1736262,Heidi,You will not be disappointed. This amazing home delivers creature comforts in a primo location. 
1602794,10388452,2014-02-17,11307068,Kody,"I honestly can't say enough things about how great it was staying at Joe's. His place is incredibly beautiful, and the coolest modern home I've ever stayed in. All of us were blown away by his decorating, and we spent the entire weekend talking about how we would LOVE to live in his house. From the working jukebox to rooftop patio, the place was beautiful, comfortable, and simply one of the best -- if not the best -- experiences I've ever had while traveling.

Joe was also a great host. Scheduling with him was super easy, and he was very responsive and available. He stayed in touch with us via text throughout the weekend to make sure everything was going well, and made coming and going as easy as walking up to our own place when we got home from vacation. The location was great too -- a short walk away from a brand new beer garden/brewery, and a 15 minute bus ride from downtown (for $1, and the bus stop is a couple hundred feet from his front door) or a 15 minute cab ride if you don't want to take public transportation.

All in all, I can't recommend staying with Joe enough -- everything about the stay was great, and Joe was a perfect host. Thanks Joe, I will definitely be in touch if we ever stay in Austin again!"
1602794,10708410,2014-03-03,1312857,Phillip,"Joe's place looks even better than on the photos - what a treat! He was always reachable and the perfect host. Don't waste another minute looking for something else, it really is just as nice as you would hope for it to be. "
1602794,10917856,2014-03-13,889564,Just,"We didn't meet Joe in person during our stay because he was out of town, but he still was the perfect host helping us out when needed. He arranged we could borrow an ironing board from a neighbor and made sure a bike we lent from him was fixed at a nearby bike shop. Did I mention his apartment is a delight to stay at? Clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. Oh, and downtown is only a 15 minutes bike ride away. The only downside is that if u need all three bedrooms, you have to enter and exit the house through the 3rd bedroom. So don't put the lazy person in there..."
1602794,11002708,2014-03-17,5135053,Natalie,Joe's place is amazing. The interior decorating is beautiful as well as the layout of the house—you feel right at home. Rooftop was a lovely bonus. Great proximity to downtown and cute little restaurants close by the house (we used the bikes!). Booking went really smoothly. Comfortably slept our large party of 8 during SXSW. We hope to come back again! 
1602794,11176758,2014-03-24,11970006,Stan,Overall great experience and the place was amazing. Joe was a terrific host and went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. I would highly recommend staying at joes condo!
1602794,11737749,2014-04-14,11507266,Andrew,"This place is a treat. Within walking distance or a short cab ride from anywhere you want in Austin, Joe's home provides a contemporary feel at high end quality without the price tag. We had plenty of space and everything we needed was available. Rooftop area is a must for hanging out.

Thanks Joe"
1602794,28120777,2015-03-18,3125421,Flavio,"Joe’s house is beautiful, clean and cozy (just like in the pictures). We had a great time there during SXSW in March/2015 – it was the perfect place to relax after an overwhelming day in the event. We were a group of 3 people and each one had its own very comfortable bed/bathroom as described. Joe was very responsive and helped us when requested. This is highly recommended!"
1602794,28253913,2015-03-21,23950515,Sean,"Joe's house was fantastic.  Four stories filled with cozy beds, a jukebox, a pinball machine and a rooftop vista and projector?  Thanks, Joe.  It's in a great part of town and is super convenient to get around.  He welcomed us with chips, salsa and beer.  There's a garage in the first floor, so parking is included too.  No complaints.  5-stars.  Would stay again. A++."
1602794,44271398,2015-08-24,9870495,Boris,Cancelled before we could finalize booking.
1602794,46220458,2015-09-08,23875690,Yarden,"Joe's  home is fantastic! Beautifully decorated, very spacious (even more-so than the pictures look) and located very close to the center of downtown. There is a pool and hot tub right in the middle of the complex- great to cool off in the Austin heat. The juke box was the perfect touch. Highly recommend staying here!"
1602794,51719659,2015-10-24,791576,Angel,"Joe came to welcome my friend to his place and walk her through the house. 
I didn't meet Joe in person but my friend mentioned that he was really nice, making her feel welcomed.

I would say that Joe's place look even better than the pictures. The kitchen is super open, spacious, and with great appliances. We didn't cook there but I imagine it must be so amazing to cook or grill a steak there. Only by standing in the kitchen would make you feel like a professional chef, haha.

I really enjoyed the pieces that Joe put together. He has a unique taste, but we were amazed by how the pieces fit so well to the place.

The best part for us was the rooftop. It was spacious with a projector TV and nice sound system. The couches are super giant and comfy. We were all very tired; otherwise, it should be a fun place to hang out and have some drinks.

All in all, it was a great experience. I highly recommend anyone to stay at his place!!!"
5538509,28046905,2015-03-16,19311356,Nik,"Yolanda and Mike were great. I didn't see much of them since I was so busy and out late at SXSW, but they are very accommodating and kind, and I only have good things to say about stay. The house is also really close to a bus stop which takes you right downtown, which was great."
5538509,28340546,2015-03-22,28550582,Rob,Mike and Yolanda were great hosts and really helped a SXSW/Austin newbie like myself get around the city with ease. The place is great and I enjoyed my entire stay here. I can't think of any negatives honestly about the trip. Thanks guys for welcoming me in and I'd gladly stay again if I'm ever in town. 
5538509,28689756,2015-03-28,11419294,Kat,"I stayed at Yolanda's place because I took a test at ACC Highland, which is near by.  The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.  I got a chance to meet Yolanda just before I checked out and she was friendly.  The location is convenient to many Austin hot spots. I would recommend this place. "
5538509,39895615,2015-07-26,29666076,Jennifer,"Mike & Yolanda were very accommodating and quick to respond to our request. The neighborhood had a great vibe, as did their home. I felt like they were open to hang out if we wanted to, but they also let us have our space, which was perfect for us. They offered filtered water & coffee, clean towels, and a great bed. That bed was very, VERY comfortable. We were travelling with our dog, which is normally a bit of a hassle, but they were very easygoing about it. Also, the backyard there is great! We fully enjoyed the hammock. 

Thanks you 2! "
5538509,42026400,2015-08-10,14119304,Tony,Yolanda and Mike were stellar! The room itself had ample space for both of us and they made it very easy to feel welcome right from the get-go. 
5538509,47921660,2015-09-21,43786211,Maryn,"Exactly as described, and very close to the UT campus.  I would stay here again!"
5538509,48614726,2015-09-27,3067708,Hans And Jourdan,We enjoyed a lovely stay here! We felt very welcome and it was so nice we were able to bring our dogs with us! We will definitely stay here again in the future!
5538509,50156214,2015-10-09,39666906,Tess,Yolanda was super sweet.. she let us book last minute and was very accommodating... her house was cute and very comfortable.. I would definitely recommend staying with her! thanks again!
5538509,51254425,2015-10-18,37784822,Devani,"I felt very welcome at Yolanda's :) the room/space was exactly as expected. Cool colorful home. Although I didn't see Yolanda much while I was there, it was a great stay & I would definitely come again. Thanks for everything!"
2261171,11012049,2014-03-17,3452999,Alicia,"If you are looking for a quiet spot amongst the chaos in  Austin, this is the place!  House is a quick 15 min drive from the airport, and an easy 10-15 min drive to downtown either down S Congress or I-35.  

Our large group was looking for a spot to call home for SXSW week and Missy's house delivered on all fronts.  Quiet, spacious, big backyard, lots of beds - she even went shopping ahead of time for us, so we weren't arriving late with nothing in the fridge!

Check in and out was a breeze, and experience throughout the stay was great.  Missy checked in on us a couple times to make sure we were doing alright.  We arrived and were greeted with a fire in the fire pit and all beds made and ready for us.  

Could not rate this spot any higher - I hope to stay there again some time when I'm visiting Austin with a big group.  This house RULES."
2261171,11761753,2014-04-14,13495741,Kevin,"First and Foremost:  Melissa could not have been more accommodating, attentive and engaged.  She worked diligently to ensure our trip was perfect.  She was very prompt and responsive throughout the entire process.  Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. (This type of care and service is rare to find) She definitely went the extra mile to ensure the house was ready fro us.  

As for their home:  It could not have been more perfect.  We had a group of ten and slept comfortably.  The entire property was decorated uniquely and had a warm-welcoming ambiance. It was clear that a lot of thought, hard work and craft-skill has gone into this home.  It has a unique vibe that, for lack of a better term, can only be describes as modern and crafty.     

Outdoors:  Tons of space to relax and enjoy, including a fire pit, BBQ pit and yard games.  There was also a private studio-suite out back, and plenty of parking.  We spent a lot of time outside enjoying ourselves and grilling.

Overall:  Each and every guest in our group was pleased with the home and continued to express how great, perfect and cool it was.  It is a perfect place for a big family, a few couples or even a quiet getaway for two.  I, along with several others in the group, will most definitely choose Melissa and her home next time I'm headed back to Austin.  I don't think I could be more impressed or pleased with the entire process.  Melissa and their home was PERFECT!"
2261171,12168866,2014-04-24,2862517,Robert,"Fabulous.  We rented our house in Central Austin and needed somewhere to stay in Austin for a few days.  We found Melissa and Troy and rented their Studio.  It was Perfect and hopefully we will be staying again.  As an Architect and Builder I would say that they have done an amazing and tasteful job renovating the house and I would highly recommend either the Studio, House or both.
Melissa and Troy were both great on a personal level and have a very friendly dog that enjoyed playing with out friends dog when they came to visit."
2261171,16469066,2014-07-28,16005100,Marcus,"Melissa was great to work with and very accommodating to our schedule.  The house was absolutely beautiful with so many unique designs, exactly what you'd imagine for a trendy and hip Austin bungalow.  The house had everything you could ask for and so much more."
2261171,16906616,2014-08-04,9387286,Ha,Our group of 10 stayed at Melissa's wonderful home this past weekend for  a brief reunion in Austin.  It was perfect: 15 minutes from downtown and the airport.  The back patio and yard was a perfect place for us to hang out and catch up.  The home had everything we needed and we could not have been more happy with our stay! Would definitely come back in the future. 
2261171,19206001,2014-09-08,6591745,JoAnna,"What a beautiful house! I stayed here for my 30th birthday party/engagement party/reunion with my college friends. The home has such charm and character, and everyone really loves the personal touches throughout the place - not your cookie cutter house, for sure! Plus the amount of space was perfect for 10 people - it could fit even more and still be comfortable. The outdoor space looks like so much fun, I only wish we had planned more time at the house to enjoy it! The neighborhood is peaceful, and close to the freeway which made it really easy to get to downtown Austin as well as New Braunfels further South, where we went for tubing down the river. Melissa gave us clear instructions/information and the place was immaculately clean when we arrived. There's also basically everything we need available to use - even travel size toiletries like a hotel. :) She's super easy going and responsive. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be returning!"
2261171,19596860,2014-09-15,5192023,Nicholas,"My family and friends had an absolutely amazing time in Austin celebrating my birthday at this retreat home!  Our stay at the retreat was perfect in every way and exceeded our groups expectations.  The photos and description of the property are 100% accurate, and are even more beautiful in person! I coordinated the accommodations for our trip of 8 people to Austin, and everyone was in awe at how beautiful and perfect the property was for our needs.  The retreat home is very well located, in a quiet neighborhood approx. 15 mins to downtown Austin. The home and private studio on the property was comfortable, spacious, clean, tastefully decorated and well-stocked with basic needs such as towels, sheets, etc.  The beds were comfortable and there was ample closet/drawer space for our clothes.  We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space where we were able to grill on the BBQ pit, and then eat dinner on the outside deck.  

Communication with the host was excellent and replies to messages was always prompt.  Detailed, thorough and easy to follow instructions were provided regarding check-in/check-out.
 
My birthday at this S. Austin retreat was one that I will never forget! We could not have asked for anything better!!  I would highly recommend this property for any group looking to have a fun time in Austin! "
2261171,21133995,2014-10-12,20381008,Dan,"Excellent place for a group!  We loved the house, especially the big backyard with a firepit and lawn games.  Melissa was very friendly,helpful, and accessible via text message."
2261171,22260864,2014-11-02,4914270,Andrew,"This house far exceeded expectation. It was absolutely perfect for our group and Missy was the perfect host. I really cannot rave about the experience anymore. It's necessary to have a car if you want to go back and forth between the house and downtown, but you could spend the whole trip at the house and be content! I would book again in an instant and HIGHLY recommend this house. Everything was PERFECT! "
2261171,22463358,2014-11-07,694760,Adam,Melissa's place was perfect for our group trip. It's beautifully designed and appointed. The property very comfortably accommodated 7 adults. ️
2261171,22517963,2014-11-09,4034226,Anna,Our large group absolutely loved our stay at this Austin retreat. The expansive grounds offered plenty of areas for relaxation and fun. The full kitchen was a huge plus. Everything was clean and comfortable--especially the beds! We all expressed a desire to stay here again. It was truly a fabulous weekend! 
2261171,23519946,2014-12-02,1302254,Rachael,The reservation was canceled 142 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2261171,25493840,2015-01-18,22958124,Danielle,"The house was an amazing place to host my sister's Bachelorette weekend. We had 12 girls stay at the house and everyone fit comfortably. The house was clean, beds had clean sheets and everything was exactly as I expected. Melissa was a pleasure to work with leading up to the weekend to make sure that our stay met our expectations and that all of our questions were answered. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!"
2261171,27245766,2015-03-01,23202617,Elliot,"Missy was an absolute pleasure to deal with and always had a thoughtful answer for my questions before, during, and after my stay. The property was even better than I expected and while poor weather hampered our ability to fully utilize the incredible backyard, lucky for us the interior of the main house was plenty comfortable for a group of 10 to hang out. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking to relax in Austin and don't mind taking an Uber to get downtown."
2261171,28116676,2015-03-18,22899284,Jessica,"Missy is an excellent host. She made our stay so incredible. Her home is so clean, so organized and well kept. We felt so invited to her beautiful retreat from the hectic pace of our SXSW schedule. She checked on us every other day to see if we needed anything. She went above and beyond. Thanks Missy. Hope you will let us stay with you next year for SXSW! ;-)"
2261171,28324182,2015-03-22,9507693,Cooper,We loved this space! Great property and great host!
2261171,31281809,2015-05-04,190540,Lindsey,The house was amazing! It's a beautiful home and the yard and property are amazing. Everything was set us to make it easy and convenient. We stayed very comfortably and the spacious and beautifully landscaped yard was the perfect space for our event. The party guests were also full of compliments for the home. 
2261171,31880947,2015-05-11,14860181,Mauro,The place was just as pictured and an amazing place for a group of people.  I highly recommend it!
2261171,33070702,2015-05-25,14082816,Edgar,"I rented this property for my son's graduation from UT. Everybody enjoyed the house, inside and out. The accommodations were perfectly clean, the decoration is beautiful, and the back yard is one of a kind. Melissa was very friendly from day one and kept in touch just in case we needed anything, which we did not since everything was great. Would definitely recommend for family reunions.

"
2261171,34625112,2015-06-10,4339465,Michelle,"Melissa was amazing! Not only was she extremely sweet, her home is out of this world. We had four ladies stay for a couple days in June and all experiences were incredible - especially the comfortability of the rooms. LOVED this house, and would rent it again in a heartbeat! "
2261171,35204785,2015-06-16,6058875,Kay,This place was amazing!! I could believe how much space there was and all the cute little details like citrus trees and chalk boards made it feel so welcoming. 5 of my bridesmaids stayed here for my wedding and they couldn't have been happier! If you are thinking of staying here DO IT!
2261171,37181472,2015-07-05,1661834,Andy,"The property was amazing and Melissa was very accommodating with our checkin time and pet requests.  The house is exactly as it looks in the pictures and is really well kept and clean.

This was my second time staying at the property and would not hesitate to book it again."
2261171,41796194,2015-08-09,37487809,Thanh,"Truly lovely property. Main house is very cozy and inviting. Our large group had no trouble being comfortable during our stay. 
The back yard was spectacular. Plenty of space for parking and we enjoyed the games provided. Wish I was a cooler month so we would enjoy the evenings by the fireplace. 

Our over all experiance was excellent and we would love to stay here again maybe during the cooler months."
2261171,42871637,2015-08-16,14362004,Cy,Melissa was very easy to work with and her house is great! Perfect for big groups! 
2261171,44134098,2015-08-24,37249016,Emily,"Missy did a great job of communicating with me when I was considering the place, before we arrived, and during our stay. We felt welcome and well oriented. The house was just perfect for my bridal shower. Plenty of parking, and easy to find, spacious, only about 15 minutes from downtown. We had all we need in the kitchen to prepare and serve all of our 25 guests.  I can not say enough about  the cute decor inside and out- the pictures on the site don't do it justice. "
2261171,44922255,2015-08-30,30841812,Brian,"Melissa was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Although we are from Austin, her Guest Information Booklet had many great suggestions on places to see and visit. 

The house itself is wonderful and the backyard is nice and open. I would definitely stay here again!"
2261171,45929898,2015-09-07,33133063,Shea,"Felt like home. Quirky, fun, quintessentially Austin. Just close enough to downtown to hail an Uber, but far enough away to have an amazing yard and a cozy compound to share with a large group."
2261171,46794955,2015-09-13,37330093,Sonia,"Gorgeous place! Perfect for our cousins reunion. Conveniently located, we enjoyed the property, used the BBQ and the smoke out. Melissa was accommodating and easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend "
2261171,47656862,2015-09-21,36195892,Adam,"Melissa made it an easy transition to get into the house and she was able to get us into the house early that day, which worked out great. The guys has a great time and we had fun with the corn hole game that she provided us with. The house is a 20 minute drive to downtown and Barton springs pool. We didn't have a problem getting an UBER from this location as well which made it easy to get to downtown Austin.  "
2261171,50434182,2015-10-12,22061364,Renee,"The Bluebird house was amazing! The vibe was creative and cozy, a perfect Austin getaway! We loved it and can't wait to visit again soon !"
2261171,52043283,2015-10-26,35642250,Ann,"Melissa was excellent!  She was available to answer questions and very cordial.  The home was fantastic.  Would definitely stay there again, very spacious, cozy and well cared for.  The privacy is nice, it was pouring rain (first time in a long time), so we didn't get to utilize the great backyard, but did use the covered porch a lot.  The home would be great for wedding parties, reunions, etc."
2261171,52813765,2015-11-02,22460503,Claire,"My friends and I were in a wedding in Austin and found Melissa's house as an alternative to the hotel option and it was amazing. She was easy to communicate with before and during our stay, and was very accommodating when our plans changed slightly (more guests than originally expected). The house was absolutely stunning (the pictures don't do it justice) - we all wanted to stay longer. It is an ideal place for a large group of people. We were running around doing a lot of wedding stuff so didn't get nearly enough time to enjoy it - but we were already talking about coming back next year. Definitely request this place!"
5431431,28134423,2015-03-18,28138484,Jonathan,"Nice apt, excellent ubication, transport to center austin is easy.

apartment very comfortable, quiet neighborhood.

great place"
5431431,29878391,2015-04-13,758235,Roberto,"The place is great! Neighborhood is really cool, close to downtown, quiet and safe. Very clean. 

Only issue was that one of the beds is just two mattresses stacked on top of each other, a bit uncomfortable. 

Other than that, we highly enjoyed it and Karli was very accommodating. "
5431431,52051698,2015-10-26,40288260,Walter,"Charming apartment was right, convenient to all that I was looking for. Austin is a big city, crazy kind of place for someone like me, but I felt at home and enjoyed my stay. Thanks Karli! "
4089452,49470011,2015-10-04,17650822,Sofia,"Sandra's townhouse was easy to find and in a very quiet location. 
She accommodated our arrival time which was great. The only thing I wish I would of known is that she had pets before our arrival. The bed sheets, bed spread, and carpet had a lot of pet hair and odor too. 
"
2336937,10819152,2014-03-09,11972024,Mark,"I had a great stay in Austin, much thanks to Chalu and her home.  Chalu's place is clean and comfortable.  The best part is Chalu herself.  She couldn't do enough to make my stay an excellent experience and, yet, she was never underfoot. I had all the privacy in the world, but when I needed her, she was there!"
2336937,11037157,2014-03-17,13005266,LaMond,"1st experience using Airbnb. Absolutely enjoyed my stay at Chulas.  I was profoundly comfortable within minutes after arrival. I enjoyed the master-bed room with the bathroom attached. Her home was kept tidy,  she's adaptable and most importantly personable. Couldn't believe she actually went out with  us, but she ""cant hang""!  Ill definitely be back to stay with Chula. Ill most certainly recommend Airbnb and Chulas to friends and family who's traveling to austin in search of a cozy home and a pleasant host."
2336937,11822882,2014-04-15,3305168,Michael,"A welcome household,warm and informative host,and a friendly dog.What more could you ask for"
2336937,13396611,2014-05-26,15902441,Karen,"I enjoyed my stay at Chalu's place. Although she wasn't there during my stay she responded in a timely manner. Her place was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Chalu was available via text and left information for our stay. Great location which was not to far from downtown. This was my first experience with AirBnB and it most certainly won't be my last. "
2336937,21175127,2014-10-12,8436814,Ashley,"Chalu was nothing short of amazing!!! I booked my reservation with her at the last minute and she graciously accepted my offer. Communication was very swift, and informative,everything was clearly laid out concerning the setup and access to the house. Chalu really made me feel like family, always available to provide suggestions of things to do, accompanied me to dinner on my first night and kept in contact with me during the duration of my stay. The home and room are clean and within 10-20 minutes driving distance from popular hangouts and the airport. THANK YOU Chalu for a wonderful stay in Austin!"
2336937,22574374,2014-11-09,23377418,Laura,"Chalu was great. I booked this room very last minute (day of) and she was totally cool with it, and very accommodating. When we arrived, she was so helpful in suggesting great places to go, giving us navigation tips, and even providing a go-to list of locations and things in our room! When it came to hospitality, she was super generous. There was a mini fridge in the room that she even stocked with some beer for us! The location was perfect- just a quick drive to downtown. If I'm ever in Austin again, I would love to stay with Chalu in her happy commune!!"
2336937,22756771,2014-11-13,23651837,Rod,"Chalu knows Texas hospitality, if your are coming to Texas, come to Austin and stay at Chalu's.  Nice place, very comfortable.  Great location for me, just around the corner of my Austin office.  The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful."
2519952,27977494,2015-03-15,18801122,Thomas,Great directions.  Easy to communicate with.  Comfortable bed.  Great access to bike and dog to pet.  Walking distance to delicious Hyde park bar and grill and gelato!!!
8438090,50411200,2015-10-11,7243964,Spencer,"The place was great and as advertised.  It was very neat and clean, close to south congress for restaurants and going out.  Sandy gave us great advice on where to go locally.  Having whole private guest house with a kitchen made the stay feel like home.  Would highly recommend staying here."
8438090,51415417,2015-10-19,28753648,Laird,"Sandy was a wonderful host and her guest house is very clean, comfortable, and charming. She was extremely responsive and made sure I felt right at home. The place has a spacious yard with lots of shade which is great for relaxing outdoors in the Texas heat. It's in a great location in South Austin and is well-appointed with a full kitchen and washer and dryer. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if the need arises. Highly recommended."
8438090,51989099,2015-10-25,27214568,Samuel,"What a GREAT place! I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Austin. A spacious 1 BR layout (PLUS a nice loft) with a full, new kitchen and W/D so you can relax, cook, clean, up, spread out - whatever you need to in Austin. The host is super easy to work with, extremely hospitable, and on-the-ball communication wise. I think everything was BETTER than advertised. Book this spot for your next Austin getaway, work trip, or any other reason you'll be in town. "
8438090,52375636,2015-10-28,13264002,Shane,"We had a wonderful stay at Sandy's guest house. The cottage is beautiful and everything inside tastefully decorated by Sandy. This is definitely the best Airbnb place I have ever stayed! We will make sure to look up this guest house whenever we visit Austin again. 

"
541267,1712191,2012-07-15,2661619,Trisha,"This is a lovely home. Brandon and his wife made our stay comfortable and easy to navigate, there was plenty of space for kids and dog and three adults, who were so harried when we arrived that we pitched the kids out the door and took long naps on luxurious beds. The kids ran wild, and enjoyed the neighborhood which is only partially developed. I took my dog on long walks every morning through the same empty lots which function as a green belt -- an unexpected bonus.

The house is light-filled and airy, the architecture is fun -- I couldn't have asked for a better vacation home. Concrete floors, roomy showers, a generous dining room and kitchen -- the lower level is open-plan and set up perfectly for entertaining. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. 

I would not hesitate to stay here again -- thanks, y'all!"
541267,2912772,2012-11-19,3387549,Juan,"I'd like to thank Brandon and his wife for making our first Formula 1 Race experience even better than we imagined.  The home is absolutely beautiful and views of Austin are amazing.  Brandon was very accommodating to our schedules in both check in and check out times.  Their modern home is so warm, inviting and literally 15 min from downtown Austin.  This is my first AirBnb experience and thanks to Brandon, this will not be me last.  We already told him that we'll be returning next year!  A very Easy 5 star review and I would tell my friends/family this is the home to rent in Austin! "
541267,8811729,2013-11-19,7040550,Lucas,Brandon and G'Nell provided an excellent home for me and my family. It had easy access to the event and downtown and plenty of room for all of us.
541267,22014145,2014-10-28,4050365,Hunter,"The house was kept very clean with fresh linens and towels laid out for us. Brandon and G'Nell even left travel-sized toiletries out for guests. The neighborhood was a nice quiet area about 15 minutes away from Austin itself and very easy to get to from the airport.

The house was very roomy and the decor was quite nice as well, all-in-all I would highly recommend it."
7958083,46332631,2015-09-09,42914386,Nengjun,"we received a very warm welcome. The host and her roommate are very friendly college girls. The bedroom and bathroom are nice, and the same as showed on the pictures. I have to mention the bed. It is soooooo comfortable, even better than the beds in a lot of luxury hotels."
7958083,46663244,2015-09-12,34638770,Danny,Mariah was a great host. The room was nice and clean and included an on suite bathroom.  Lots of light and character in this vintage home which sets it apart from the boring apartments around it.
7958083,47946899,2015-09-21,44603603,Austin,"Mariah from the beginning was a communicative host and her room was as described. The apartment was nothing special but we booked it for one night since we were in town purely for a concert and needed somewhere to stay. 
Mariah, 

At 3:10 in the morning we were awoken with a banging on the door by a male screaming to be let in, which proceeded until 3:50 AM. We weren't notified during this time, or before, that we should: be expecting company, not lock the privacy lock, or the other room was booked. We simply thought someone was trying to break in and rob us, so I had to call the police that night. My girlfriend was distressed because of this whole ordeal and I couldn't go back to sleep, so we ended up leaving as soon as we could in the morning!
This is nothing personal and the communication that we had in the beginning of the booking process was perfect, but our stay and trip was marred by this experience.

When people book with AirBnb this is the one thing they hope to avoid yet somehow it happened to us and we never received a sincere apology. I wouldn't recommend this listing or AirBnb after this experience. 

Austin"
7958083,50478321,2015-10-12,24696986,Allison,It was a good west campus location. We came for ACL so this was perfect. Thanks! 
8036927,49806110,2015-10-06,43453207,Jane,"We were in town for ACL. Sami's apartment was very convenient for our music festival weekend, the apartment was well located and neatly arranged. "
8036927,50652333,2015-10-13,42988590,Kevin,I had a very easy stay at Sami's apartment.  There were a few things I had questions about during my stay and he quickly responded to all of them which I appreciated a lot.  Overall the place was clean and easy to get to and I would stay there again
294708,998931,2012-03-14,999079,Tim,"Note: This is my first AirBNB experience.

After initially being rejected last minute by another AirBNB location, we found this place. It was actually a very good thing as Dallas' place was far superior.

Five of us came down to Austin for SXSW and we all fit comfortably (2 couples and a single). The house was clean, spacious and came pre-stocked with a 24 pack of Lone Star. We run the social beer network Untappd, so we appreciated this perk! There we no complaints about the beds (I know the one I slept on was extremely comfortable). Did I mention that the place was spacious? It's a modern townhouse with very comfortable couches. The artwork hung throughout is also very very awesome - wanted to take a couple home! 

The neighborhood is very quiet. It's about a 5 minute drive from down town or a 15-20 minute bus ride (which one of our guys did several times with no trouble). It was good to be able to get away from the madness of downtown during SXSW and relax.

Dallas was very responsive to texts and was very accommodating, making sure everyone made it into town and that everything with the townhouse was to our liking.

I'd definitely stay here again next time I head to Austin. Thank you so much for the great time."
294708,1105341,2012-04-10,2007501,David,"This place is amazing, we went for vacations to Austin and everything was great. The house is bigger than it looks, it was clean, spacious, in a nice neighborhood, we were 6 and we slept very comfortable. It is also very close to downtown, like 5 min. driving. Dallas and his friend Blue were very nice to us, they recommended places to visit in town and they gave us a pack of beer in the fridge. We are definitely coming back some other day."
294708,1183869,2012-04-26,1789742,Paul,"Thanks Dallas.  We enjoyed using your place for our travels around town.  I appreciated your letting my daughter and son-in-law check in for us due to our delayed arrival.  Nice place for the 6 of us to center our ""operations"" from."
294708,1214737,2012-05-02,1690489,Roger,"We stayed at this great place during our trip for the Austin Psych Festval. What an incredible place to relax and charge batteries for more music and more Austin experiences. Quiet neighborhood, easy to get in and out by car or bus to the city's heart (aprox. 15 min to downtown). Dallas, it's owner was truly helpful in advance and while there to answer any doubt or question we should have about his place or Austin. The townhouse was perfectly equiped (from kitchen to restrooms, from a big flat TV to a spacious parking, from air conditioning to a comfortable and big sofa) and it had a communal pool that we truly enjoyed under the classic austin heat. Me and the 6 friends that stayed there truly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay outside the city stress but close to its vivid action. "
294708,1240647,2012-05-07,2032047,Mathea,"I just got back from an amazing girls weekend in Austin and couldn't have been more happy with this condo. It was very spacious, clean, loved the location and felt like home. When I do go back next I will definitely plan on staying here again. Thanks for everything Dallas! "
294708,1561357,2012-06-25,2644250,Alberto,condo was great!!  beds were excellent.  only draw back was no cable but there was local TV.  Thanks Dallas.
294708,1632271,2012-07-04,1237888,Steve,"Dallas' place is nestled in a nice condo complex just east of I-35. With a 2 car garage that steps down into a mini courtyard (for late night contemplation under the stars above). The main floor has a kitchen, dining room, open living room with vaulted ceiling, half bath and a master bedroom with a full bath. Upstairs is loft area with window, another 3/4 bath and a big bedroom. A big HEB is only 5 minutes away on the bus (stops directly out front). We took the bus out and about to South Congress, Lamar, the Warehouse District and 6th street, then usually took a cab home. We swam in the pool daily to relax after nights of live music and great food. This place is a clean, affordable condo that lets you slip out of the noise of busy streets but still be just 10-15 minutes away from everything."
294708,2571950,2012-10-10,3331795,Stephanie,This place was perfect for our stay! Very Close to SOCO and Downtown Austin. Two Car Garage was great as we had two rentals. Rooms are spacious and Dallas was a great Host. Thanks Dallas we appreciate you sharing your place with us. Hope we can visit again soon!
294708,2768413,2012-10-31,3043109,Danny,"The townhouse was perfect for our Half-Ironman trip. Location was super convenient to the airport which was great since many of us came in at different times, and left at different times. Very close to South Congress, and an easy drive to Downtown Austin! The case of Lonestar upon our arrival was definitely a nice surprise as well!"
294708,2925569,2012-11-20,2742327,Cynthia,"Spacious Townhouse Great Proximity indeed! For substantially less than what it would have cost to bunk seven people in a roach motel during F1 weekend, we got to stay in a place that had all of the comforts of home (including beer, snacks, and a washer and dryer).

It's close to downtown (a 10 minute drive) and the airport (a 15 minute drive). Plenty of space for seven people to spread out their things, lounge, and sleep. The beds were reasonably comfortable, linens and towels were nice and plushy, the bathrooms and kitchen were clean. Thanks Dallas!"
294708,3272896,2013-01-04,1863081,Laura,The reservation was canceled 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
294708,3779611,2013-03-14,4376308,Josh,"Dallas was a great host while we were in Austin for SXSW. The house was perfect for our stay and Dallas was extremely helpful in making us feel at home - providing clean towels, food, etc. We would definitely recommend his place for future travelers"
294708,3826215,2013-03-18,5348723,Tim,"Dallas was a great host and our whole team enjoyed our stay. His place was very nice and well-kept, as the photos illustrated. Dallas also provided some complimentary food, coffee, beer, and toiletries that was very appreciated. He was quick to reply to any quick questions via e-mail or text, and even came over promptly to help us figure out a question we had about the house. Would definitely suggest the place and Dallas as a host to anyone, and we would rent from him again next time we're in Austin!"
294708,4086575,2013-04-08,4629790,Kristina,"Dallas was an excellent host, very available and accommodating. His house was very comfortable for our party of 8. When we return to Austin, we will stay here again!!"
294708,4151605,2013-04-14,816041,Jason,"Our company needed a place to host a hackfest for our development team. The house was great, and gave us the space we needed to brainstorm, work, eat and sleep for the week. Dallas was an amazing host. He made sure we had everything we needed for the week, and he was very accessible throughout the process. When we had special requests, he did his best to provide what we needed quickly. Our event was a success, and Dallas made sure things went smoothly for us."
294708,4251117,2013-04-22,5589969,Julia,I loved the placed! Super clean and Dallas was super nice and helpful!
294708,4704466,2013-05-21,2433168,Chris,"We had a great time. Dallas' place was perfect for our family. We were surprised how quiet it was considering the close, convenient proximity to the freeway. The condo was a nice quiet place to come home to after seeing the sites of Austin."
294708,4840425,2013-05-28,2439036,Claudia,Dallas was a great Host! His place was perfect for our large group and the close proximity to everything couldn't be better. Dallas was very accommodating to our needs and would recommend his place to anyone who is looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay in Austin. 
294708,4962835,2013-06-04,263111,Kyle,"Dallas was a great host. His home provided ample living space for my family for the weekend of my wedding. We had a great day of BBQ at the house and took a little swim. The location could not have been better. Thanks for everything!
"
294708,5087500,2013-06-11,6465465,Evemarie,"Excellent place to stay in Austin.convenient location, very clean, cozy, well/modern decorated and with very comfortable beds. Kitchen fully equipped, enough bath towels and even empty closets to hang your clothes. Nice  large flat TV  in living room, also two very cozy leather sofas.  The house is surrounded by beautiful trees. 3 minute walk to the pool (inside the condominium green area). Ideal for a family getaway. Dallas is a great host and was even available to take care of us during an emergency. We were extremely lucky to have found this place! We even had some complimentary drinks ;). Please note that  it had available  two private and spacious bedrooms. There is another semiprivate medium size room with no door, but worked just fine for us. the house has another bedroom but it was closed/not available. "
294708,5660760,2013-07-10,1801053,Amy Leigh,"Dallas was an excellent host.  He is very easy to communicate and coordinate with.  I stayed there with 5 friends visiting from the UK and it was perfect in many ways:  big enough to accommodate us all, flexible check-in and check-out times, excellent location to everything and everywhere, stocked kitchen, great layout, pool, tennis courts, etc.  Dallas left a case of beer for us and the place was just as represented. I would highly recommend renting Dallas' place and will do so again myself if needed again in Austin. "
294708,6079081,2013-07-29,6762879,Sally,"Dallas was a great host.  I'm sorry we did not get to meet in person, but he was very responsive via email and text message when we had questions, etc.  He has a great condo/townhouse in a convenient Austin location.  "
294708,6291082,2013-08-06,5318944,Sybianna,dallas was amazing. would totally stay at his place again if i have another long weekend in austin again. place was cozy and close to everything. 
294708,6657485,2013-08-20,1840025,Zainab,Dallas' place was great. It was clean and had updated finishings. We had a group of 9 girls staying in his condo and surprisingly all 9 of us had room and were comfortable. The condo is a convenient 10 minute cab ride to downtown. There were plenty of bath towels and blankets for everyone. Dallas was friendly and helpful if we had any questions throughout our stay.
294708,6849245,2013-08-27,1358193,Malli,"Dallas was an excellent host. Very helpful, super nice and responsive. You probably want to rent a car but buses are close and cabs are not very expensive (need to call them and give them some time - we recommend Al Shire (website hidden)). The house was very clean and comfortable. On behalf of our whole group, we would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you, Dallas!"
294708,7036237,2013-09-04,1972666,Vivek,"It was a great place, a lot of space and very comfortable!  Dallas answered all questions that we had before and everything worked as advertised!  The complex is also great with a swimming pool and its close to everything you'd want to go to in Austin."
294708,7337139,2013-09-16,8119645,Susan,"Dallas -- Your house is wonderful. It had all the space we needed and was beautifully furnished. There were plenty of sheets and towels and the big TVs were popular.  As we left, my cousins and I talked about how perfect it was for our stay in Austin. An extra ""bonus"" was the iron and ironing board -- which we used as we got ready to attend the wedding. Although I did not realize it at the time I made the reservation, the location was excellent. In addition to being very close to major highways, it is convenient to the airport, and turned out to be very near one of the family parties we attended. Thank you so much for our home away from home. Best regards, Susan "
294708,7506760,2013-09-23,1689561,Laura,"I stayed with friends at Dalla's apartment in Austin for a long weekend. The place is spacious and really comfortable for a big group (we were 6). We also got to enjoy the pool, which made our stay so much more enjoyable. The condo is located 10 minutes by car from tons of bars, cafes, restaurants and stores. There's also free parking in his garage. Dallas was very easy to communicate with, we found the close in amazing conditions and would be happy to go back to Austin and stay there again."
294708,7913816,2013-10-08,910923,Abril,"Dallas house was great!. We rented his condo on the ACL weekend , we were only a bus ride away from downtown (there is a bus stop super close to the house) or we could take a 10 minute cab ride, either way was good. 
We were a group of 8 people and we were all able to sleep comfortably (2 slept either on the sofa or in the extra mattress provided by Dallas), so the house is very spacious and also I liked the decoration.(Dallas I loved your Modest Mouse poster!!)

Dallas was very helpful with every thing, quickly response and very communicative, he was a very good host and without a doubt his house is an excellent place to stay, I would totally recommend staying here.

Thanks your letting us stay here we had a great time!
"
294708,8366610,2013-10-28,8215249,Jeremy,"We had a great stay.  Dallas is a great host.  His place is a short cab ride to downtown.  Very comfortable, spacious townhouse with plenty of room to stretch out.  Would definitely stay here again.  "
294708,8637645,2013-11-10,1409850,Jim,"great town home - great location - great host. 

We had several airport runs and it was very easy to get back and forth

we had 9 people over for a dinner party. The kitchen and appliances were perfect. The dining room was cozy and warm. 

we had 5 adults and a  toddler. plenty of room for all of us. 

we loved our stay."
294708,8832923,2013-11-20,1754036,Annabelle,"Dallas' house is perfectly located.  Very easy to access both downtown and the F1 circuit (why I was there), and close to stores, but wonderfully quiet, on a small estate, and near to a lovely park area.

Note: pool / spa are unheated!  We were rather hoping to use them but Austin weather was definitely not cooperating.

Beds are very comfortable, lots of clean towels and dish rags.  Good sized kitchen.  Whole place was clean.  Kitchen could do with a few more utensils - no strainer, for example (that I could find) - but overall has everything you need.

Guest bedroom had a curtain rod that was not affixed and fell down easily, not ideal after long work days.  Apparently this was an improvement upon zero curtains prior to arrival, but would have hoped for secured curtains (and also a bedside light) for the amount of $$ paid for the rental.  This was noted to Dallas and I'm sure will not be an issue for the next rental.

The wifi / router went down - major issue, given we were there for work.  Dallas was extremely available and communicative via email and, despite being out of town and only flying in that night, we had a new router as soon as he touched down.  Very impressive.

I would recommend both this property and renting from Dallas. "
294708,9013221,2013-12-02,3428300,Andy,"Dallas' rental was perfect for four adults and two 2 year olds. The location was excellent - we rented cars but I noticed a bus stop close by if you prefer public transit. Dallas was available via text for any questions and it's close to the airport! What else can i say, if you're visiting Austin go with Dallas's rental!"
294708,9710446,2014-01-06,9887855,Robert,"Dallas is a great host. True Texas hospitality! He responded immediately to all our correspondence and simplified all aspects of the rental. He even made recommendations for things to do and see. Very comfortable, spacious townhouse with plenty of room to stretch out and really close to everything! Would definitely stay here again."
294708,9953909,2014-01-21,1887270,Kayla,"First let me say that working with Dallas was awesome... The pre-arrival communication and follow-up was very responsive, helpful and pleasant.
 
Six of us stayed for a long weekend in January, to attend a family wedding. The condo was exactly as advertised. It had all the amenities we needed. Very spacious, clean and inviting. Plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, glasses.  A generous supply of sheets and towels. The décor was tranquil and clean we felt at home immediately.  The bedrooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. There is some very cool artwork on the walls. Sunday afternoon we had 13 people over to watch football there was plenty of room for everyone.  The patio was lovely.  
Loved the convenience  of having a washer and dryer, plus the ease of convenient garage as well as street parking.
 
Would definitely recommend this home!"
294708,10421523,2014-02-18,5753069,Helenda,This place was so spacious and comfortable to stay in. I came with 5 of my friends so we had more than enough room for all 6 of us. Dallas was very accommodating as far as responding to all of our questions and being flexible with our check in/out times. The location is pretty central to everything we wanted to do and if you have a car then everything was about 10-15 mins away including downtown. I'd recommend this place to anyone! I would definitely stay here again next time I visit Austin! 
294708,10917592,2014-03-13,990286,Rosie,"Dallas was a perfect person to deal with! Efficient, concise and the place lived up to standard. We sent a bunch of our Aussies across the SXSW and the place was perfectly equipped and ready for our guys. Thanks Dallas. Will remember you for future years for sure!"
294708,11016240,2014-03-17,12316794,Mike,"We had a blast in Austin and really enjoyed staying at Dallas' spacious, comfortable and very clean place.  Dallas was a great host, who was very responsive and generous with great tips for enjoying SXSW.  I'll definitely be recommending this option to others heading to Austin at any time of year.  "
294708,11205731,2014-03-24,1463978,Ian,"Dallas was an awesome host, left us beer in the fridge....do I need to say more?  Excellent accommodations and was willing to work with us on a later checkout.  Would definitely stay again!"
294708,11354493,2014-03-31,6699673,Jonas,Had a great stay at this condo. Beds are comfortable and the location is close enough to all the best parts of Austin. Much thanks to Austin for sharing his place with us.
294708,11738712,2014-04-14,11669562,Sharon,The  condo was great!.  Good location to I35.  Very clean and neat. Two large Master Bedrooms with one down and one upstairs.  Had everything we needed including WIFI.  Host was always checking in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction.

He made sure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The house was a perfect distance from the city center and the airport, so it was easy to get around. Recommended! "
294708,12289804,2014-04-28,1922069,Brooke,"Dallas was a great host during our stay in Austin at his place. The apt itself was very clean and had amazing king sized beds (which I love!) and the couch was super comfy. He was very responsive with any inquiries we had during the stay and checked in via email every now and then to make sure we were happy. I'd definitely recommend staying here - easy to get to, close to downtown, clean, etc. Thanks Dallas!"
294708,12611352,2014-05-06,2178509,Jody,"The listing met and exceeded expectations. The mattresses were so comfortable that my friend made a point of finding out what kind they were so that she could get one for herself. We highly appreciated that there was coffee, and popsicles. All of the closets and dressers were empty, and ready for our things. The interior and property were clean. Dallas was in contact prior to the stay, making sure that everything was set and in place.
The location is very convenient for getting to a bunch of the food trucks, shopping, and natural areas that we wanted to visit, and felt very safe.
The only thing that I would say to be mindful of is that the garage was a bit of a squeeze for the van that we rented, but there was plenty of street parking."
294708,13655556,2014-06-02,5942944,Neeli,There were six of us girls staying in this house and it was a perfect fit. The place was very comfortable and clean and Dallas was very quick to respond to any questions we had. The location is perfect to get to everything but quite for when we need to sleep. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Austin. 
294708,14283608,2014-06-16,13320618,Lisa,"Dallas provided a nice, clean condo that accomodated 7 adults comfortably. He was very courteous and and prompt in responding to our questions. The beds were great.  The bathrooms and kitchen were very clean.  The big screen was perfect for the World Cup.  The location was GREAT, quiet but close to wonderful restaurants, shops, parks, etc. We had a terrific time!"
294708,14614580,2014-06-23,14994245,Emily,"Our experience at Dallas's was fantastic. Great location, great place and very responsive host. Highly recommended!"
294708,15261019,2014-07-06,15003915,Sherry,"This property was very nice and well maintained and would recommend to small groups.  However, it is listed as a three bedroom three bath property when in reality what you get is two bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths.  It has an open loft with a mattress on the floor that gives no privacy.  We had three couples and two children for our vacation and had to find accommodations after arrival for one couple.  This was disappointing and we were faced with unexpected cost."
294708,15482028,2014-07-10,5610210,Geoff,Dallas was very helpful and responsive before and during our stay.  The condo is very well located and had plenty of space for our party of 6.  We also enjoyed cooling off in the pool during our 3 day stay and would definitely stay again.  Recommended.  
294708,16999292,2014-08-05,17780227,Kelly,"Dallas was a perfect host!  He provided all of the information we needed right up from and responded to question throughout our stay immediately.  His place was just what we hoped, with 2 king bedrooms, an open queen bed loft and still room for socializing.  We had 8 people stay at the house, one used an extra mattress provided by Dallas in one of the King rooms, one slept on the couch (but not because there weren't other air mattresses!), and the other six slept two to a bed.  The neighborhood was very close to downtown, where we went out each night, and also near great neighborhoods like SoCo, Rainey Street, and Town Lake (where we paddle boarded, only a 5 min drive from the house).  Cabs and Uber were easy to use to and from the house.  The pool was a relief after a long and busy weekend on Sunday.  Dallas even provided coffee and filters which we greatly appreciated each morning!!  I'd 100% recommend this place and am grateful for such an easy stay as I celebrated my 30th birthday with out of town friends from out of town!"
294708,17510255,2014-08-13,17165030,Joy,"We found the condo very spacious as described.  We were meeting my son, daughter-in-law, and 10 month old in Austin for a family vacation.  The layout of the condo was perfect for us.
Realizing we would need a full size crib and high chair,  I was  able to rent on line and have them delivered from Ashlie at I Love Baby.  
The proximity was a plus for our needs.  The condo had good wifi and we were able to video stream movies on that nice big TV in the living room.  Dallas was very responsive before and during our stay. Would definitely consider staying there again."
294708,20812861,2014-10-06,113124,Brandon,Dallas was extremely responsive and accommodating before we ever got to the house. The house was as advertised and made for a great location for our party. It's a well appointed fun space in a good location and managed by a great host. Recommend all around. Thanks!
294708,21194181,2014-10-13,3921881,Ryan,"Dallas is the man!

Throughout the entire process leading up to our stay Dallas was extremely helpful and provided us with everything we needed.

His place is awesome and very accommodating for any groups / families.  I would highly recommend him and his place to anyone looking to have a great time in the beautiful city of Austin.

Thanks again Dallas!"
294708,21504330,2014-10-19,4781758,Jayanth,"Dallas's place was at a great price and was conveniently located near the airport. Cab ride downtown was only ~$12-16. We had a group of 7 and were able to comfortably fit between the 2 king beds, 1 double, and a comfy couch. Dallas was extremely helpful in giving is ideas on things to do while in town. He also was quite flexible with his schedule, allowing us a pretty early check in. If I was back in Austin is definitely consider staying here again. Thanks!"
294708,22603593,2014-11-10,11446921,Manorath,Felt super welcomed! Dallas was very helpful and responsive before and during our stay. Gave us awesome recommendations on place to eat.

La ubicacion esta muy bien para visitar Austin y muy cerca de la Av Congress.
No hemos visto a Dallas pero todo fue super sencillo y agradable con el.
A recomandar."
294708,26644661,2015-02-16,15199594,Lauren,Dallas made us feel welcome by checking in beforehand to make sure we were aware of how to enter the condo as well as to make sure we were having a good time during our stay. The condo is just as described and was very accommodating for the 6 of us. We had no problem getting a Lyft or Uber to the location of the condo and everything we wanted to see was no more than 15 minutes away. I would definitely stay here again!
294708,26901569,2015-02-22,6768497,Emily,"We absolutely loved Dallas's place!  He was super responsive in answering our questions. We stayed for just about a week. We were visiting for QuiltCon which was taking place in the Austin Convention Center.  The proximity was excellent for downtown (a 10 minute drive) and the south congress area (a 5 minute drive).  Each of us in our party of 7 was able to comfortably sleep, bathe and eat.  There was enough room for all of us without being too crowded.  Thanks for such a great experience!"
294708,27335957,2015-03-02,22775239,John,Dallas was a great host. Communicated well setting up the reservation and got us all situated upon our arrival flawlessly. Location was a 20 min bus ride to downtown 
294708,27613280,2015-03-08,15111238,Stephen,Dallas's house was perfect for our college reunion getaway. We loved the Bose speakers and the PS2! There was plenty of sleeping space and it was easy to uber to and from downtown.
294708,28081874,2015-03-17,27439169,Nathan,Great stay at Dallas' place during SXSW.  He even left us a pack of beers in the fridge and some breakfast. He was also pretty flexible with our checkin time as we arrived early in the morning and was available on the phone to guide us to his place. Thanks Dallas.
294708,28459783,2015-03-24,17823507,Sarah,"The place was great! Exactly as Dallas described and as the pictures show. He was very communicative and left a very welcoming 12 pack of Lone Star for  our arrival toasts! Austin is a very large city and we did lots of driving from our son's house to the wedding venue and back again, but the location was perfect! We would definitely recommend Dallas' place! We had 3 couples and and one extra adult who slept on the twin mattress in the loft. We were quite comfortable."
294708,28888685,2015-03-31,19688785,Craig,Dallas was great.  He was very responsive via text and quickly answered any questions we might have.  House was clean and spacious.  It worked great for 4 adults and Neighborhood felt safe and was a short drive to South Congress and downtown Austin.  Garage parking was nice and we took advantage of the pool on the grounds of the townhouse community.  
294708,31324554,2015-05-04,3959141,Lily,"Dallas was a great host and we very much enjoyed our long-weekend stay and first visit to Austin. Seven of our college friends reunited in Austin and the house was comfortable, with plenty of room to sleep, a decent dining room/living room to hand out and a very workable kitchen. 

The location was convenient and Dallas' instructions for getting into the house were perfectly clear. It was easy to Uber everywhere (surprisingly close to the airport and downtown - less than a 10 minute ride!) and there was also easy parking in the attached garage. He was flexible and communicative about checkin/checkout times and even made some great suggestion about what we shouldn't miss on our first trip to Austin. 

 The only slightly misleading aspect of the listing is that it's a 2.5 bath (2 showers) which was not what we'd anticipated, but worked perfectly fine. "
294708,31898876,2015-05-11,1518514,Collin,The place was amazing. We had a fantastic time there. The pool was great. Dallas was a consummate host. Very responsive and helpful. Total mensch. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
294708,32368156,2015-05-17,9798138,Andrew,"Dallas' 3bd/3ba was perfect form my extended family and our weeklong stay. Two master suites with King beds, a 3rd bedroom with a queen bed and a twin mattress fit our needs exactly. Quick access to   I-35, Travis Heights, SoCo & E. Austin make it ideal for soaking up Austin's Weird. Travis was always in contact, and made sure we had access to everything in the Condo complex."
294708,33962601,2015-06-02,34063341,Nicholas,"The house was great. Clean, modern, spacious and everything you need. Easy to get a taxi or bus downtown.

294708,35413198,2015-06-18,33071451,Min Jung,Host made us feel welcome at the place. Dallas texted frequently to check how we are doing and if we need anything.

294708,38142827,2015-07-13,34873512,Cecilia,Very welcome. Local beer and local coffee were a nice touch to an already very hospitable and homey environment. Dallas was quick with responses. Awesome host!
294708,38927324,2015-07-19,14275277,Marissa,"Dallas is fantastic.  He provided excellent details before and during our stay, he frequently checked in on us, and provided some great suggestions. I'll have to make it back to Austin to do the night time swim at Barton to see the stars and fewer people.

Our group of 6 women were very comfortable in the space.  The condo has nice showers and beds and we enjoyed the community pool.

Thanks for having us over, Dallas!"
294708,40996778,2015-08-03,4391217,Gustavo,The place is just incredible! Very cozy and conveniently located.
294708,41412285,2015-08-07,388860,Katie,"Dallas and this condo were wonderful and I will always check it's availability on our frequent trips to Austin.  His communication was flawless and prompt.  The condo was in a great location, had everything we needed and was very clean."
294708,43137140,2015-08-17,10829201,Manuel,The apartment is very nice and confortable. Everything was perfect during our stay here and Dallas is a very thoughtful and dedicated host. Dowtown is a mere 10 minutes away. Also the pool and common spaces in general are very nice and enjoyable.  I recomend staying with Dallas anytime.
294708,44359858,2015-08-25,39747036,Robin,"We had a great time in Austin. Dallas was great to work with. He had lots of good suggestions about what to do while we were in town.

294708,44903812,2015-08-30,35100424,Matt,"Dallas did a great job of explaining his house.  It was clean, easy to access and spacious enough for 8 people.  It was also in a great location and was a great value.  I highly recommend working with Dallas and staying at this location. "
294708,46115367,2015-09-08,19658060,Monica,Dallas was a great host - he even left beer in the fridge for us! His place was spacious and in a great location.
294708,47676552,2015-09-21,3443192,Alvin,"Dallas's listing was very comfortable and exactly as described. He wasn't in town during my stay, but sent me everything I needed for a smooth check-in and was able to provide great recommendations for things to do in the area. 10/10 would stay again!"

294708,51128600,2015-10-18,41671059,Sonal,"This was our first time staying at an AirBnB and it was a great experience.  Dallas was friendly and was always available to answer questions.  He gave clear and easy to follow instructions on how to locate his condo, how to get in and what expectations he had when we left.  He also checked in time to time to make sure we were comfortable and didn't have any issues with our stay.  The condo was beautiful and in a great location.  We were in austin for a wedding and had a car but used an uber occasionally to get to downtown and explore austin which was pretty cheap.   Overall it was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend working with Dallas and using any of his properties listed on airbnb.  The only negative thing I would have to say is that the room downstairs which is located right below the master bedroom can get loud and you can hear everything (Steps/talking) that goes on upstairs which makes it hard to sleep through.   "
294708,51924503,2015-10-25,14901877,Karl,"Great property, clean, modern, within a short driving distance of everything. Exceeded my expectations."

644051,21878705,2014-10-26,7801005,Sophia,"fantastic location, great access to the riverside boardwalk with best view of the city at night; comfortable rooms, beautiful house, very nice hosts (easy to communicate with), walking distance to South Congress shopping"
644051,32364110,2015-05-17,24666611,Arvin,"Tracey was super nice, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed. The description of the place is spot on. The location is nice as well...just far enough away from the next house to seem secluded. Very cheap cabs to 6th and Rainey. "
668239,3706982,2013-03-06,703623,Chelsea,"I stayed at the Sparrow House for about five weeks and my experience was nothing short of amazing! The house quickly felt like home, comfortable yet sophisticated with gorgeous interior design running through every inch of the home. The backyard is reason enough to stay! It is a perfect place to relax, enjoy a meal, or host a few friends. Ayn was the perfect host. She was always incredibly responsive to my needs. We had a wind storm that did some small damage to the backyard and Ayn made sure it was repaired and cleaned up within a couple short days. The location is great; I felt like I was close to everything in town. I will definitely be returning to the Sparrow House if I ever find myself in Austin again! Thanks so much for your hospitality Ayn! "
668239,4094725,2013-04-09,304731,Elizabeth,"My friends and I stayed at Ayn's to celebrate my friend's upcoming marriage. It was an amazing trip. Ayn's home is beautiful - she clearly has great taste. The checkin process was smooth, the house was in a great location, we had a rental car and were minutes from everywhere we wanted to be (downtown, Barton Springs, South Congress). The backyard is an absolute dream and we spent many evenings just relaxing and enjoying the setting. Also, the shower is so much more than a shower, its like a SPA! Thank you so much!"
668239,11806976,2014-04-15,1828390,Brian&Carol,"Ayn was a very responsive, accomodating and kind host. Our 1st reservation was cancelled on us and we are so happy it was because this was a great place for us! Her Sparrow House is clean, funky and cozy. This is a prime location, central to everything in town. Our son was getting married and we hosted a Family Dessert Party Wedding Eve here. This house, with it's cute backyard patio, was the perfect spot to meet all our new family members! There is no parking on this busy street here, so if you have more than 2 cars, guests will need to park a block or 2 away. We highly recommend staying here! "
668239,12341349,2014-04-29,2648503,Ryan,We had a great stay at the Sparrow House!  
668239,12556308,2014-05-05,12198712,Michelle,Really beautiful house with an absolutely fantastic porch and backyard. Within walking distance to coffee shops and some fun restaurants. Comfortably slept six people. 
668239,13423729,2014-05-27,6530466,Daniel,"What an awesome house!  The Sparrow house is beautiful and has obviously been cared for and furnished with a lot of thought and love..  We had 8 people stay here, and with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath it was a lot, but Ayn leant us an air mattress and we are all comfortable enough.  We had big plans to explore Austin (and we did) but we ended up spending a TON of time in the back yard because it was so so nice.  Ayn made it super easy to get into the house and left specific instructions on what we needed to do to check out.   The house is super accessable to downtown and is a 2 minute walk from the brewery ABGB. Overall an awesome experience."
668239,13661254,2014-06-02,1736044,Matthew,"Ayn was a fantastic host. She's a great communicator--quick to respond and sweet to boot!

The house is exactly as it seems on the website. Each bedroom is more beautiful than the next and the neighborhood is close to some fantastic areas…you truly feel like you're in the middle of everything.

We found the house spotless and we aimed to leave it that way. Ayn left a lot of material for us to find our way around and to get some great food/great experiences. And we did! 

I would recommend the Sparrow House to anyone. Great experience."
668239,13820075,2014-06-05,2884747,Jessica,"The Sparrow House was such a great place to stay. From the really awesome decor, to the great outdoor patio, the house was luxury with a twist of chic design.  The place was really clean and our host took very good care of us leaving yummy welcome gifts :)  

I would definitely go back and recommend this location. Very close to S. Congress and Downtown, just a car ride away.

"
668239,14048605,2014-06-10,1824,Christine,"Really great experience - Ayn gave us a ton of recommendations, provided a very clear outline on what was available to us and what we needed to do to check out, and has a pretty cool bungalow. "
668239,31747487,2015-05-09,7836050,Lee,"We had a fantastic stay at Sparrow House, a beautiful and spacious home with an amazing deck and backyard and unbeatable location. Ayn was so helpful with local recommendations and swift to replies to any questions. Thanks again, Ayn, for a great stay in Austin!"
668239,32024661,2015-05-12,4560975,Ben,"Ayn has a really cool house in SoCo, its 2 double rooms and 1 single with all amenities you could possibly need.  There was lots of quick friendly communication that was really helpful about the stay and what was to see/do in the area.  We had a great time and would def recommend."
668239,32710635,2015-05-20,32451335,Janice,Ayn and Sebastian were great hosts! They were super nice and very helpful and made lots of great suggestions about great things to do and see. They clearly love Austin and know her well!
668239,33282524,2015-05-26,30482524,Ryan,Freshly renovated and very hip. Good location provides quick access to nightlife and entertainment. Would stay here again. 
668239,34013171,2015-06-03,3751497,Lindsay,"Ayn was wonderfully accommodating. She gave us a list of all of the best places to eat, shop and see and all of her recommendations were perfect. 

The house itself was impeccably clean and cute as a button. It was the perfect retreat for my coworkers and me. The house is walking distance to all of the food cart trucks on 1st St. and also close to all the shops on South Congress and restaurants on Lamar. 

I would stay here again in a heartbeat the next time I'm in Austin. Thanks Ayn and Sebastian!"
668239,34453114,2015-06-08,32996809,Chase,Sparrow House is like a home away from home. It's very cozy and it seems like it's close to everything. Ayn and Sebastian were very gracious hosts and responded quickly to the questions I had. I would definitely recommend Sparrow House to friends.
668239,36215278,2015-06-26,7570062,Giulia,"A charming home on a secluded street. Quirky decor made for a fun vibe! Big, quiet backyard, perfect for relaxing. A selection of nice toiletries and fluffy towels were a welcome luxury. Ayn and Sebastian went above and beyond in making us feel at home, fielding our numerous questions about Austin and the accommodations with detail and care. The house was very clean, but did have a noticeable musty smell which persisted throughout our stay (though open windows helped). "
668239,36867247,2015-07-02,13582662,Matthew,"House was really cozy and bright. Very well decorated. Decent location. The house is situated on a busy street and is difficult getting in and out of driveway. Didn't hear the street noise once inside the house so that was nice. All in all, we loved it!"
668239,37334604,2015-07-06,819888,Robert,"This was hands-down the nicest AirBnB I have ever stayed in. The house is absolutely beautiful, and very tastefully decorated.

The backyard deck is great for relaxing outside in the evenings. The AC in the house works very well and was great for combatting the summer heat. The location of the house was great, in a calm and green neighborhood but a short drive to many attractions. There is also a great brewery/pizzeria walking distance from the house.

Communication with Ayn was very smooth, and it was easy to coordinate checkin of the house. I would recommend this rental to anybody traveling to Austin."
668239,37679687,2015-07-09,3894884,Zoe,"Ayn was a great host, she gave us a lot of tips on things to do in the area and was great at communicating with us. She went above and beyond. 
We loved the house, it was really well presented and easy to get an uber up to the soco main street. 
We enjoyed our stay a lot, thank you!"
668239,39566563,2015-07-24,1644842,Carlo,"We had an excellent stay at Ayn & Sebastian's house. It's a perfect home base with lots of nice touches including a large backyard, patio and comfort. Great neighbourhood. Hoping to have a chance to stay here again next time I'm in Austin. "
668239,40110971,2015-07-28,6010573,J'Nett,The listing is very accurate with pictures of rooms that have not been altered. Ayn & Sebastian were in touch throughout & answered all our questions & attended to all our needs. We would highly recommend this house. Our family was in town for a wedding (2 couples & a single) and we were very comfortable despite having concerns abt 1 bathroom. With all the space for hanging out & lounging it was perfect. We even had a little get-together at the end of our stay so that the local couple could see how lovely it was. Everyone was very impressed.
668239,44448599,2015-08-26,39712150,Nigel,"This was our first trip to Austin and we completely 'lucked' out finding the Sparrow House.  The house is charming, beautifully decorated and super clean.  Ayn and Sebastian were very proactive hosts, checking in with us during our stay to make sure all was OK and that we had all we needed.  It almost felt like we had a personal concierge.  Their recommendations for restaurants were spot on and led us to Barley Swine which is a treat not to be missed.  We would come back to Sparrow House in a heartbeat.  Thanks Ayn and Sebastian!"
668239,48676694,2015-09-28,28075072,Emily,"Loved our hosts, the house and the neighborhood!! We had such a lovely experience and felt right at home."

668239,50645064,2015-10-13,22765631,Jessica,Ayn and Sebastian were wonderful hosts!  They were communicative and very gracious throughout the booking process and during our stay.  The house was ideal for our girls trip.  It was gorgeously decorated but also felt like home.  We will definitely be staying here again when (not if) we return to Austin!
668239,51761160,2015-10-24,33686363,Adrian,"Great hosts, great place"
280440,936824,2012-02-21,119441,Angele,"I absolutely loved this home.  I had two girlfriends in town and knew we would need a place that was comfortable, not too big and design-worthy.  Well, this house fit the bill precisely!

Anna's home is well appointed with stylish furniture, modern appliances and the most luxurious tub.  It's cute 1950's on the outside, 2012 on the inside.

It rained almost the entire weekend so I was disappointed we couldn't use the outside area which was huge and nicely manicured.

I would gladly rent again and plan to tell everyone I can about the wonderful weekend we had.

Thank you, Anna!"
280440,1005573,2012-03-17,1344018,Ben,"I've visited SXSW this year and had the pleasure to stay at Annas Bungalow. Everything was setup and worked perfectly and I felt at home the moment I've turned the keys. There was even some beer in the fridge, the right way to treat a guest :-)
The Bungalow itself and the attached garden is wonderful, so I can highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quite place to stay."
280440,1019241,2012-03-19,436133,Anthony,The Remodeled Bungalow was the perfect choice for our stay in Austin. It was minutes away from downtown and in a great quiet neighborhood. The interior was great and very trendy! My favorite part of the bungalow was the peaceful and large backyard! I give Anna's place 5 stars!
280440,1047449,2012-03-26,21792,Cydney,"I highly recommend Anna's bungalow! It was the perfect retreat for my family's visit. I live in Austin but we are in the middle of renovating our home. My sister & cousin decided to come visit on short notice and I couldn't (and didn't want) to say no. Anna to the rescue! With barely 24 hours notice, we were able to secure her bungalow. The house is centrally located but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Very peaceful! The home is decorated beautifully and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed, including champagne/wine glasses that passed my sister's approval (and she's very fussy about her stemware!) . We hope to have the chance to stay here again!"
280440,1197563,2012-04-29,1340168,Alan,"Great house - spotless and well-appointed. Fun, interesting neighborhood. Excellent hosts. Highly recommended!"
280440,1326241,2012-05-22,1898738,Katie,"This house was excellent! Very clean and nicely decorated, my family enjoyed it immensely! The back yard was fabulous to have bbq one night with the provided grill, and the location is excellent and central to most of Austin's entertainment, campus, and downtown. Highly recommended and Anna was super helpful providing all of the information in a timely fashion."
280440,1390432,2012-05-31,1107277,Evan,"Anna's bungalow was perfect. Sweet, clean, efficient--and in a great neighborhood. There are some fantastic restaurants nearby--my favorite was Foreign & Domestic but there are others to try so I'll be returning soon. Great local feel away from the tourist hustle and bustle. Loved!"
280440,1446553,2012-06-09,2101715,Lauren,"Anna's home is absolutely adorable. The interior of the house is very cozy and chic, and the backyard is huge and perfect for coffee on the deck or a meal at their large outdoor table. Hyde Park is just a hop, skip and jump away, and downtown is a 10 to 15 minute drive. If you're looking for a warm and very Austin two-bedroom place a bit removed from downtown, this is the house for you.

Do you want to go have Vegan ice cream, it’s 5 minutes away. Do you want to go see the original Whole Foods, it’s 15 minutes away. Downtown, the donut place that serves the Fat Elvis, the best nail salon….all 10 to 15 minutes away 
Check in was beyond easy, received a very detailed email the day before that provided wifi, etc. They have cable. The house was very cute and clean (I think they may use a service). I’m a bit OCD so if I say it was clean it was spotless. There is a washer dryer. I would definitely stay here again.

The house is not only well-appointed (fully-stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, comfortable beds, large common space, plenty of bath linens) but you can tell a lot of thought and attention-to-detail went into designing a cute and welcoming space. I love the vintage Texas vibe that Ashley incorporates throughout the property. Also, you cannot beat the location! The house bikes were our main mode of transportation and we were able to ride all around the south congress neighborhood and beyond with no trouble at all. Ashley was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed before, during and after our stay. I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Austin.

It was extremely comfortable and the neighborhood was perfect -- nice and quiet but close to lots of entertainment, food, etc. I highly recommend Casa SoCo to anyone who's looking for a place to stay in Austin.   "
1126920,16992899,2014-08-05,16546067,Amy,"My group rented the sweet Casa So Co for a fun getaway bachelorette party and we loved everything about the house! The decor was so charming, inviting, and absolutely comfortable. I personally slept on the king-sized pull-out bed in the office room and I couldn't get over how much better I slept on it compared to my own bed. The main feature of the house was definitely the cute retro fridge! Everything about the house had wonderful personality. 

The location was also perfect. The group easily was able to walk to local coffee shops and yummy restaurants and very delicious Gourdough's food truck twice for donuts. It was easily accessible to downtown, bars, and the airport. There's also a convenient market nearby to get your groceries at. We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay at. 

The communication with Ashley and her property manager, Toni was so easy. They both are incredibly nice.  We had planned to make sangria but we couldn't find the bottle opener in the house, so Toni swung by with a bottle opener. They always answered every question we had and we are so grateful for their hospitality. 

Thanks Casa So Co!"
1126920,17832186,2014-08-18,16675782,Allison,"My friends and I stayed at CasaSoCo for a Bachelorette Weekend.  We spent the first hour at the house talking about how cute it is and how much we loved it!  There was plenty for room for eating, hanging out, and sleeping.  Great parking space as well for our three cars.  The kitchen was well stocked.  We took the bikes out Saturday to Barton Springs Pool and had a blast.  This is a great place and Ashley is fantastic (she even stopped by!!).  "
1126920,18350177,2014-08-25,17512236,Sarah,"Ashley made the team feel extremely welcome. The house was even better than we expected - and all-in-all, it was just absolutely perfect. "
1126920,19150944,2014-09-07,6272759,Chrissy,Casa Soco was amazing! We stayed here for a bachelorette party and couldn't have wished for a more beautiful house to stay in! Ashley was such a wonderful host and gave so many recommendations for places to check out and things to do in Austin. Can't thank her enough for helping to make our stay so memorable. It was perfect!
1126920,19524126,2014-09-14,18677328,Alison,"Ashley was very responsive and helped us prepare for our first Girl's Weekend in Austin, including her personalized recommendations and added welcome amenities.  The location was ideal...close walk/bike/drive to all the hot spots.   Loved the decor!  The house was comfortable and ideal for the 5 of us.  Would stay again!"
1126920,19931149,2014-09-21,2256137,Jamie,"Awesome place to stay in Austin! Close to all the delicious food trucks and fun shopping and restaurants. Great neighbors. Super nice and helpful host. Nice touches like bikes (and a scooter!) to use, AppleTV, and a guide to the city. "
1126920,21193405,2014-10-13,13873211,Anna,"Ashley was just wonderful, she made us feel like we already knew her before even arriving. She always kept in touch to ensure we had our travel plans sorted, and asked if she could be of any help before we arrived, even asked if we had any specific coffee requests. During our stay she was great at ensuring we had everything we needed. The home was just gorgeous, we all LOVED staying there...better than any hotel. I would actually say the home is better than in the photos. If you are heading to Austin...this is a place you should look at staying in. Great space, Lots of awesome resources in the home about Austin...even boardgames, and great reads for rainy days. Very Clean, Beautiful area, easy to walk to all the awesome streets...just the perfect house to be in."
1126920,21874716,2014-10-26,5167694,Adam,Ashley was an awesome host. Very responsive and willing to help. Her place is beautiful and pretty centrally located to explore Austin. I'd definitively stay with her again.
1126920,22575808,2014-11-10,9775976,Besse,"Ashley had so much information for us leading up to our stay and in the house. She should get a cut from the local restaurants because we tried all of her suggestions and they were great. 

Casa SoCo is in a great location within walking distance of lots of restaurants and boutiques. It's also a quick drive to Zilker Park which was great for our little ones as they have a huge playground, but would be nice for outdoor minded adults too.  The house is also on a dead end street, which provided the opportunity for lots of outdoor play for our toddlers without much worry.

The house is great and is just as you see it in the pictures. We even had local friends and family over so we could catch up with everyone in one place and there was plenty of room for ""entertaining"" (picking up BBQ from just down the street).

Would highly recommend this spot for both a family and "
1126920,23891600,2014-12-14,21659375,Priyanka,"Ashley was a fantastic host.  She shared a lot of information about the house in advance, which made arrival stress-free.  The binders she has in the home are full of lots of helpful information on the area -- the restaurant and food truck recommendations are fantastic.  
The home is very comfortable to spend time in, and also well-located to explore Austin.  Our group of 7 women had a fantastic time."
1126920,25760081,2015-01-25,25866718,Sophia,"We stayed at Casa Soco with family and had a wonderful experience. The house is very clean and comfortable with lots of natural light and nicely decorated. We appreciated all the thoughtful details and amenities throughout the house. The location is great as well, down a quiet street but centrally located to all the great restaurants on 1st Street and the South Congress strip. "
1126920,26005905,2015-02-01,1092324,Kelly,"What a lovely home!  I hosted a girls' weekend in Austin, and couldn't have picked a better place to stay.  The location was great (a short walk to a lot of great restaurants and shops), the home was adorably designed and well stocked with anything we needed.  We had a few reasons to reach out to Ashley over the weekend, and she was always very prompt to respond and help out.  I would definitely return!"
1126920,26461764,2015-02-13,18106682,Amanda,"Host was excellent and very accommodating! Everything we needed was provided and the house was just as described. It is in an excellent location, walkable to lots of restaurants, food trucks and shops. "
1126920,26598496,2015-02-16,25562353,Nick,Super week-end away; Ash made us feel home at home with a stocked fridge and great recommendations. The location was perfect for SoCo surfing and we made the most of it! Thoroughly recommend Casa SoCo!
1126920,26977211,2015-02-23,13991866,Christine,"This place is AMAZING and Ashley was an A++ host. 
The location is in the middle of where you would want to be yet on quiet street. Restaurants, shopping, music etc all within a 5 minute walk. The house was gorgeous and had every amenity anyone could ever think of and more (double patios, firepit, washer/dryer, bikes etc. Ashley was like having a private concierge regularly checking in to make sure we had what we needed and we were comfortable. I have been staying at VRBO and airbnb places for over 15 years and Ashley has been the #1 host. HIGHLY recommend!!!"
1126920,27262125,2015-03-01,11791689,Shannon,"Walking into this house was such a breath of fresh air. Ashley has created a wonderful, inviting, and charming! space. She's really thought of everything, amenities-wise, and had such a cozy spot absolutely PERFECT for 8 people. We're already talking about coming back.

The location is also wonderful, sandwiched between S 1st st full of cute restaurants and S Congress, which has a TON of shops, restaurants, etc. Both within walking distance. And definitely bikable w the bikes she has for you!!!

I would highly recommend this house for larger groups."
1126920,28777648,2015-03-30,12554108,Katie,This house is fantastic! Super cool space with great outdoor hangout space too. Location is unbeatable. 
1126920,28942402,2015-04-01,27907622,Petter,"Great place to stay near South Congress. The house was clean and very nicely decorated, with a social and functional layout. It easily fitted out eight person party. The hostess was very considerate, and offered us lots of help in finding things to do and places to eat. Not only are there plenty of shops, bars and restaurants nearby, but also lots of green areas and running trails. We were there for only two nights, but would have loved to stay for longer."
1126920,29990356,2015-04-15,30073682,Julie,"We were visiting Austin for my mother-in-law's birthday and Ashley left a wonderful welcome note on the board along with a bottle of wine to begin our celebration! The house was perfect for our group of 6 (including two young boys) and the location was walking distance to S Congress, where we were able to walk to breakfast, grab coffee or hit our five year old's favorite place on earth ""Big Top Candy Shop.""  The decor really represented Austin at its finest.. modern, eclectic, comfortable.  And S Congress is packed with many incredible shops, restaurants, bars, and live music. 

It was a terrific weekend, and a great house! Ashley went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable, happy, and equipped to make the most of the neighborhood! 
"
1126920,30663173,2015-04-26,25585180,Vincent,"Ashley was a fantastic host and was very willing to answer questions and make us feel welcome. The house was great for our group of 8 guys and fit everyone comfortably. The grill and fire pit were a huge plus, but the biggest draw was the proximity to South Congress and South 1st. Both were easy walks and the neighborhood had a lot to offer."
1126920,31166172,2015-05-03,24335857,Reilly,"This house was PERFECT for a girl's weekend in Austin! It truly felt like home away from home and we all could enjoy meals/hanging out together in one place.  The rooms are spacious and beds are comfortable, we loved the outdoor dining space as well.  Ashley was very on top of things - quick to answer our questions and provided great local information about the neighborhood. The house is on a quiet street - walkable to South Congress/South First or a quick (5-10 min) Uber/cab ride to downtown. I strongly recommend staying here!"
1126920,32341429,2015-05-17,26036248,Blair,"Ashley's Casa SoCo was the PERFECT home for our bachelorette weekend in Austin. Ashley was in touch prior to our trip with house instructions and cool Austin suggestions and was easy to reach with any questions. The house and neighborhood had a great vibe, and we were able to walk to a lot of cool shops and eats. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley's house for any group of ladies visiting Austin!"
1126920,33678719,2015-05-31,17174556,Chinmay,"I stayed at this house with 6 other friends of mine and had a blast staying here.  Located walking distance from South Congress, the neighborhood was quiet and activities were only a couple of blocks or a short cab ride away.

The house has so many wonderfully Austin-y quirks about it, some even subtly suggesting places you might want to visit while in town (for instance, the coasters on the kitchen island had pictures of Austin staples like Amy's Ice Cream, Hut's Hamburgers, etc.)  Even the bathroom's reading material had some personality!

Ashley personalized the greetings inside the house upon arrival and also left some treats in the fridge!  There were several binders left on the table with information about places to go nearby as well as how everything worked within the house.

Although we didn't get to use many of the cool amenities outside, the house was extremely cozy at night and the beds were great to crash on.  This is a great place to stay with a large group of friends as it comfortably fit all 7 of us.  I absolutely recommend staying here if you need to house a large group!"
1126920,34959988,2015-06-14,29659190,LeeAnn,"Ashley was a great host! The house was absolutely beautiful, and all the girls who came for a bachelorette party loved it. She had local eggs and fresh coffee for us, and lots of recommendations for things to do. Thank you for being so accommodating and making it a weekend we will never forget!! :)"
1126920,45935075,2015-09-07,34785433,Jamie,Ashley was wonderful. She made this whole experience easy and enjoyable.  We all loved the house and it perfectly fit out party of 8 with plenty of room. The house is in a prime location too and close to all the Austin hot spots.
1126920,46692836,2015-09-13,29409047,Stacy,"Wonderful weekend in Austin with girlfriends, in the perfect setting at Casa SoCo!  Ashley was very extremely responsive and helpful as we planned our stay, and brought our bride-to-be a lovely bottle of wine when we arrived at the house.  Great location with shops and restaurants just a short 10-15 minute walk, though our group spent as much time hanging out at the house enjoying the space-- perfect for a group of friends! I've already recommended the house to a few friends and I'd definitely stay here again when I return to Austin.  "
1126920,49372949,2015-10-03,3152703,Shelli,"Great experience. The place looks just like the photos, but has an even cozier more welcoming feel to it.

I loved the fresh water carafes and set of plush robes in every room : )

Welcome bottle of wine was very much appreciated after a day of travel and Ashley was kind enough to allow us a late check out to accommodate our later departing flight.

I would absolutely stay here again!"
1126920,52036683,2015-10-26,26305672,Gail,It was located in a great area.  We loved walking and hanging out on South Congress.  The pictures of the house listed on Airbnb were very accurate.  The place was clean and had all we needed.  It fit the 6 adults very comfortably.  Ashley was great!  She checked in a few times to see how things were going and if we needed anything.  Would definitely stay here if ever in Austin again!
1126920,52203480,2015-10-26,16668308,Crystal,The host canceled this reservation 136 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8645486,52290163,2015-10-27,25899445,Nick,Omar is a great communicator with a clean & stylish house in an absolutely fantastic location! Check in & check out were a breeze. He had detailed lists of everything we needed to know about his place and the City of Austin.
2267004,18442602,2014-08-26,3406202,Munjal,"It's a lovely place. Everything was just perfect. We got a few friends over BBQ and it almost felt that I lived in Austin! Kitchen was stocked with herbs and spices, Nescafe Pods, all required utensils - what else can you ask?

Erica is pretty awesome - very responsive and helpful.

The place is in a great neighborhood - safe, quite, and very close to the lake.

When I'm back in Austin, I'd definitely come back here.
"
2267004,21965466,2014-10-27,3152369,Gary,"This place was fantastic.  Pictures are accurate, however the place actually feels even better.  In a very safe and quiet neighborhood, a 5 minute drive to fine restuarants (or bars) on the river, 10+ easy minutes to downtown (except in rush hour).  We had two couples and an adult daughter so the three bedroom/2.5 bath was great.  Very clean and well-appointed (new appliances including wine cooler, washer/dryer).  If the description looks good for you, you'll really like it.  Highly recommended (and the airbnb staff were excellent when we had a question about internet access - fixed in 3 minutes!)."
2267004,31488356,2015-05-05,32086436,Moises,"Muy bien toda la comunicación y las instruccíones la casa muy bien descrita en las fotos
Sin duda  muy recomendable la casa y la anfitrión"
2267004,51292998,2015-10-19,42702133,Katherine,Perfect place for my family to stay for a wedding weekend and as pictured. Really enjoyed walking to Mozart's coffee nearby. 
1388265,10999196,2014-03-17,1634156,Gillian,We had the most wonderful stay at Barbara & Will's home over SXSW! They were the most gracious and accommodating hosts and went above and beyond to make our sure our stay was easy and enjoyable. Their house couldn't have been more lovely and comfortable - we will surely be back the next time we come to Austin!
1388265,28375388,2015-03-23,229460,Rodney Staton,"This was hands down the most immaculately prepared Airbnb I have ever stayed in. Barbara pays attention to ever detail from the house manual to fresh jugs of water in every room upon arrival. Her home is beautiful, spacious and loved. The back yard is a playground with the swinging rope into the pool to the jacuzzi and grill. Can't wait to book again! - highly recommended."
1388265,39175716,2015-07-21,30840987,Matt,"The home was just as described, plus more! Very accommodating and welcoming. My group of friends loved the house and location. There were additional amenities not shown in the listing, which made it a pleasure to find just when I needed something. Would definitely stay here again!"
1388265,39534915,2015-07-24,37049960,Teresa,"If I could give Barbara 10+ stars I would. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. We went to Austin to celebrate my Daughter's 30th Birthday and we could not have found a better home to celebrate it in. Barbara has thought of everything and her house is beautiful! The layout of the home is perfect and lots of privacy for everyone. We really enjoyed the pool and enjoyed grilling out. Her home is centrally located and it is in a great neighborhood. I really cannot say enough about her and her house. If you're going to Austin, rent her home. You will NOT be disappointed. Oh, and did I mention it was the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in? Thank you again Barbara from all of us!!! "
1388265,42864159,2015-08-16,28467127,Gina,"AMAZING!! The host was very accessible and everything went exactly according to plan. The house is ADORABLE and the pool is fantastic. The host did a great job at labeling everything so it was very easy to get comfortable quickly. We had children ages 9 to 17 stay at the house and we all loved it. The house is also great for common gathering areas and found it great to play cards/spoons at the breakfast bar yet private enough where if someone wanted to relax they could also do that in another area. The outside areas are very fun with something for everyone. If someone isn't into the pool, there are several other areas that they can relax in like outdoor living rooms. Thanks for making the visit such a special one that it will not be forgotten!! We HIGHLY recommend visiting this property if you're in Austin - the location is great (6 miles from downtown) with quick access to bike routes, new hip restaurants, a grocery store and Walgreens."
1388265,43536303,2015-08-20,5120427,Peter,"Staying at Barbara's house was a wonderful experience.  The house is very spacious, charming in style, and the pool was very refreshing.  The entire house was ready upon our arrival and had amenities like I would find in a hotel and more.  It was really easy to just show up and immediately feel like we've come home.  My daughter loved being in the pool during the Austin summer and playing with the outdoor cat.  

It is a great house and central location.  I look forward to staying there again.  "
1388265,45255101,2015-09-01,25230650,Kathy,"What a wonderful place to stay!  Awesome pool - perfect for the hot summer days and nights.  Fully equipped with everything you need.  Barbara was great to work with.
"
1388265,46125870,2015-09-08,34151920,Fuerzalinda,"We absolutely loved the house, and it was all perfect for our family. Several of us went running in the neighborhood, we grilled outside one afternoon, we loved the pool and hot tub, and the yard was lovely and surprisingly shady and breezy for a Texas summer. It's a wonderful, peaceful and warm house, perfect for a family gathering."
1388265,46894119,2015-09-14,39322687,Bobbie,Barbara made us feel very welcome in her home and it was everything as advertised and much more!  My family was very comfortable and enjoyed the beautifully decorated house and backyard where there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and visit.  The kitchen was perfect and her extra effort to provide an island for our sandwich making extravaganza for wedding party nearby was most helpful. We will be back!
1388265,51263145,2015-10-19,31826714,Jackie,"Had a wonderful stay.  The house is very bright and vibrant,  with lots of colorful detail. 
Barbara was a very generous and helpful host. There were many more amenities than I expected and that was definitely a pleasant surprise. Was a great time."
4872607,24695802,2015-01-01,2873229,Anca,The cottage was incredibly sweet and comfortable. We can with our lab and felt so at home. The yard space was perfect for him to run around a bit. It is also centrally located and in the heart of lots of Austin fun. We had a wonderful stay and definitely recommend this cottage to out of towners!
4872607,26491552,2015-02-14,3120691,Hutch,"Great area, nice place. The yard was perfect for our dog. Liked it so much we extended our stay."

4872607,26939196,2015-02-22,21978118,Maggie,"Loved it! Great location--super close to 6th (short cab ride). Definitely would stay there again. I live in the area, but not close to downtown. Frequently go dowtown for girls' nights and like to stay down there. Love how we had our own space. Neighbors aren't right on top of you, so you can have privacy sitting out in the yard. Host is very friendly and responsive. Definitely keeping this one as an option for next time!"
4872607,27268621,2015-03-01,16328770,Mark,The quaint cottage was very homey and nice. The location was perfect for our needs. Jonathan and Carley were great hosts!
4872607,28739330,2015-03-29,3790734,Jae,"It's just as described. It's rustic but everything worked. Laundry, lights, a/c, and etc. it's quiet but you do hear noise from nearby highways during rush hours. Wasn't a big deal for me. Overall I enjoyed my stay and the host answered all of my questions promptly. Uber is everywhere so going to downtown was so easy. "
4872607,30978806,2015-04-30,27477518,Marti,"The messages from the host were very welcoming. The description was very accurate. I loved the quiet neighborhood, a short walk to a great restaurant and to the walking trail along the river.  I liked having a full washer and dryer onsite. "
4872607,31397709,2015-05-04,32089390,Daniel,"Great location and overall experience at the cottage. They were easy to work with and made the process as smooth as it could be. If you're looking for your own space close to Downtown, Zilker and Barton Springs this is a great option."
4872607,32305881,2015-05-16,7358620,David,I didn't get a chance to meet Jonathan or Carley but they still made our brief Austin stay a very easy and cozy experience. The house is in a great location with easy access to all the greatness Austin has to offer. 
4872607,32434094,2015-05-17,13101100,Matthew,Cozy and quaint accommodation in a quiet neighborhood.  Places to eat 2 blocks away and also a convenient bus line at the end of the street.  
4872607,32992091,2015-05-24,31204359,Peggy,"Jonathan and Carly were wonderful hosts.  They provided instructions for self check-in, followed up the next two days and made sure we had everything we needed.  The house is in a beautiful, historic neighborhood, and is walking distance to Lake Austin, convenient to downtown, and all the attractions just west of downtown.  The property backs up to a beautiful greenbelt and creek running parallel to Mopac."
4872607,33625624,2015-05-30,33607543,Allya,"We really enjoyed our stay in this peaceful little cottage tucked in the woods in a nice neighborhood. Being within walking distance of Zilker park ended up being the highlight of our trip, where we did a little dog-walking, bat-watching, and kayaking. It’s just a few minutes drive to downtown Austin. "
4872607,34492828,2015-06-08,32546078,Melissa,"Jon and Carley were great to rent from. I did not meet them but had let them know earlier when I would be arriving. I believe I checked in around 5/6pm on a Sunday. The instructions to get into the place were very simple. The only problem I had was my google maps accidentally told me to make a turn when I just needed to go straight down into the driveway. The location is adorable. Very private and close to downtown. The house itself is a cute older home. I've lived in Oregon before so the home reminded me of older homes you could find in Oregon. They had instructions inside as well that were clear to me. I did not spend much time in the house. I did take advantage with my dog of the trails and huge park areas near the river. There is a trail access right down the street which was great. There are lots of food places nearby and a grocery store too. The location is close to DT like it states in the description. The home is a little older but I enjoyed every minute. There are a ton of books around too. However if you are kind of picky and expect brand spankin new and modern remodeling this unique home isn't for you. If you love quaint places and are respectful and understanding of a home pretty much in a woods like surrounding then this is a fun place. I did find a little bug on the bed, but I scooped him up and let him out. The place was nostalgic so I enjoyed it!  "
4872607,34684555,2015-06-10,3318277,Seth,"This place is amazing. It's right in the middle of everything you would ever need from Austin, but it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. The house is ""hip"" and ""with it."" It's just like the description says: it's quaint and very nice. I'd stay here anytime. "
4872607,35974683,2015-06-23,35793369,Jeff,Had the best time! The cottage is quaint and comfortable and we never felt bothered by our wonderful host. We'll definitely be staying again next time we're in Austin. 
4872607,36440759,2015-06-28,22198483,Virginia & Joshua,"The cottage was a great place to stay -- just as described, and in a great location. I didn't get to meet the hosts, but they were very communicative and helpful, and made a very welcoming place for us to stay while in Austin. "
4872607,37204961,2015-07-05,7707757,Jimmy,"Jonathan & Carley provided clear and easy instructions for checking into the apartment and checking out. The cottage was just as it looked in the pictures, apart from some small furniture differences in the main bedroom.  They provided all the essentials and were also kind enough to let my pet dog stay with us as well! 

The highlight of the stay ended up being the location--very close to Mopac and walking distance to Lady Bird Lake, where I could go for a run with the dog!"
4872607,41201704,2015-08-05,32085332,Mike,"Excellent Location!  Cottage as described.  Quaint and rustic but has everything you need.   It really is a very quiet and secluded location in the heart of Austin.  Less than 1/4 mile from lake path, Deep Eddy and restaurants.  I commuted to downtown by bike or took the bus (4 line very easy!).  Jonathan was extremely accommodating, communicative and checked in on me frequently.   Appreciate the stay!  Keep Austin Weird!!   "
4872607,41713787,2015-08-08,39870429,Sarah,"My boyfriend and I stayed here when visiting Austin on a Friday night. Being from Portland, OR this quaint and vintage cottage fit our liking well. The home is older but has a cozy feel, it is away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough to experience the city. It's a private and secluded lot, if you're looking for something fancy and modern, this isn't for you. 
Jonathan and Carly provided well written instructions, were very responsive and were nice enough to let our dog stay. There was a lovely piano, and books everywhere. This was our first Airbnb experience and we enjoyed the stay. "
4872607,41874207,2015-08-09,5987001,Kitti,"We had a great stay in this little house. The hosts were very communicative and accessible, and gave clear instructions about how to get in and settled. Good location, and the neighborhood was quiet on a Saturday night, which we appreciated. Do note that this is a pet-friendly listing; we had some allergy issues when we decided to sit on the living room rug because it seems to trap pet hair but once we figured that out and switched to sitting on the actual furniture we were fine. "

4872607,43955569,2015-08-23,37877378,John,"Everything was as described with a comfortable, clean and peaceful stay. With a well equipped facility there was nothing extra needed and the hosts were in regular e-mail contact to ensure we were happy with what we found. Many thanks!"
4872607,44656780,2015-08-28,5705681,Ellen,"Great little cottage. Highway noise was significantly more than expected, but otherwise a very pleasant stay."
4872607,45036938,2015-08-30,42603307,Chris And Beth,"This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was great! We weren't able to meet Jonathan and Carley, but they were fast to reach out to us with instructions for getting into the house and left little notes around the house answering our questions before we even asked them. The house was perfect for what we needed, and it was a quick drive to a lot of great places to visit in Austin. All in all, great experience. "
4872607,45970261,2015-09-07,804559,Rod,"The hosts did not provide check-in information until 10 minutes before the check-in time. During the negotiation about available dates, the host provided misleading information (in writing). The quaint house was apparently built in 1947, and it seems to need a lot of updating; don't expect anything too modern."
4872607,46870824,2015-09-14,33234387,Debbie,"My boyfriend and I just finished a weeks stay at the Quaint Cottage. It was perfect for our needs. Jonathan and Carley were super responsive to any questions I had prior to my stay. (This was our first Airbnb experience). The cottage itself has tons of character. It's set back in a wooded area which is very nice. I told my boyfriend I felt like we were in a log cabin in the mountains of Tennessee, not a mile from the Capital! So, if privacy is what you're after, this is your place. Also, the bed is very comfortable and the A/C ROCKS. The thermostat was set to the perfect temp when we checked in and we didn't have to mess with it at all. Which is amazing considering what the temps were outside. We weren't actually in the cottage much other than to sleep and shower, but it had everything we needed for our stay. I will say this, if you need brand new accommodations, you should keep looking but if you like quirky and antique, this fits the bill. One little note... there is some major construction on Mopac (the highway) that was happening at night, so if you're a light sleeper, might want to bring earplugs. But that should be temporary. Overall we were satisfied. Thank you! "
4872607,47747401,2015-09-21,10397982,Mari,"This is definitely the best deal in Austin. You have an entire house to yourself, at a very low price. The kitchen and bathroom have everything, plus more than you could ever need. The towels were plush and plentiful (a serious rarity among airbnb places), and the kitchen had all the goodies you could ever need. It is conveniently located walking distance to a cafe, massage place and the freeways. Light sleepers will need to wear ear plugs, but if you are normal (like my husband), you will have no problem falling asleep on the cushy beds."
4872607,48488961,2015-09-26,26469843,Bryan,Perfect cheap getaway. Thanks yall!
4872607,48577929,2015-09-27,42874884,Benjamin,"Johnathan and Carley had a great place that was perfect to spend the night at.  Though I never got to meet them, they were very helpful and thorough on how things worked in their house. I certainly recommend them to anyone."
4872607,49432382,2015-10-04,37935084,Joseph,"We had a great time at Jonathan and Carleys place! The house is walking distance to a lit of restaurants, and was walking distance to the Austin City Limits festival. Jonathan and Carley were very welcoming hosts and we're happy to help with anything we needed while there."
2249281,11433617,2014-04-02,9269219,Kay,"Blaine and his roommate Marissa provided the basics to facilitate our budget conscious explorations of Austin.  The arrangement has changed a bit since the photos were taken for his initial profile post, but there is still a guest room and bed, WiFi, linens, kitchen and laundry access.  Blaine's communication was timely and helpful, and, while our paths barely crossed, he was a courteous and unobtrusive host.  Since the location is close to a few different bus routes (including a Night Owl route), we were able to explore Austin without a car.    Bicycles are another transportation option we attempted, but had bad luck with flats and basic maintenance issues.  Those traveling by car will find this location very convenient to Interstate 35.  "
2249281,11498041,2014-04-05,13583523,Ken,Blaine's place was just as advertised.  Very courteous and helpful guy.  Liked it so much I came back again.
2249281,11776232,2014-04-14,13966590,Kavin,"Blaine and this place were great. Very friendly and hospitable. The room was as seen. The location was great for Austin because there was a bus stop that 3 mins from Blaine's place that took you directly downtown and back for only $2. 

The only negative of the place was that the house had a giant dog (some sort of poodle/doberman/cujo mix) that wasn't particularly friendly. However, Blaine and the roommates quickly removed the dog whenever I was around. 

The place is a great value and exactly what I was looking for on this trip. "
2249281,12029943,2014-04-21,6142835,Rachel,"I loved staying at Blaine's house. I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable my whole stay, Blaine was such a wonderful host. He was really understanding with my inconsistent and last minute communication while organising my stay with him, which I really appreciated.  He was incredibly open and went out of his way to make sure I was enjoying myself, often feeding me and making me yummy drinks. Rufus is the sweetest dog ever and he makes the house a home. The place overall is really warm and welcoming with furniture made my Blaine himself, which is awesome. This was my favourite ever stay and I would highly recommend it. "
2249281,12315322,2014-04-28,5025478,Chris,Had a lovely stay in Austin.  Blaine was a very friendly and helpful host!
2249281,12362445,2014-04-29,4708888,James,"Blaine was a great host - everything was as advertised, and the price was right.  Very close to the music scene, and a quick escape onto 35 North."
2249281,13292196,2014-05-24,6635899,Jon,"Blaine, you were an awesome host, thank you so much for everything! The room and bed were very comfortable. The neighborhood was very conveniently located.   If I ever come back from Mexico, I know where I'm staying."
2249281,13458661,2014-05-27,12804538,Matt,"Blaine is a great host. He and his roommate are very friendly. I'll tell ya, if you're looking for the basics in a place to stay at a reasonable cost & close to South Congress, this place is for you.  "
2249281,13768847,2014-06-03,13586352,Benoit,"Great host, present and comprehensive. Everything you need from a host !

2249281,14030762,2014-06-10,8636091,Martin,"Blaine was an great host.  He is helpful and courteous.   I had a great time during my short stay in Austin and staying at Blaine's had much to do with it.  If you are looking for a clean, safe and central location, Blaine's place is ideal.  "
2249281,14298961,2014-06-16,9040491,Matthew,"Blaine was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay! His dog Rufus is incredibly well trained and quite nice to have around. 

The location was perfect for all of our needs and our room was exactly as expected. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a room in Austin! "
2249281,14896709,2014-06-28,17263386,Hunter,"Great host, great location to get into Austin Tx."
2249281,15438524,2014-07-08,17715578,Van,"I loved it! Blaine is an excellent host, and the location is good. It's right of the freeway near downtown and in a safe neighborhood. The room was comfortable and clean, and I loved the furnishings. If I return to Austin again, I would definitely try to stay here."
2249281,15608498,2014-07-12,4219634,Ayla And Chase,Blaine's home was in a great location and the bed was super comfortable. My boyfriend and I are currently road tripping across the country with all of our belongings in our car so it was super nice to have on-site parking. We only crossed paths with Blaine once but he was extremely kind and generous with suggestions of what to do in the surrounding area (and also gave us advice on our next destination; Santa Fe). 
2249281,15662826,2014-07-13,10788221,Victoria,"My boyfriend, Kaleb, and I made a last minute trip to Austin to celebrate as a late birthday present. I was extremely grateful that Blaine responded as quickly as he did. Although we didn't get to meet Blaine, our stay was overall ok. The majority of the house was very clean, like the kitchen area and the living room, which were both very comfortable and cozy. But upon entering the room, we found a dead roach near the bedside table. We decided to overlook it because hey, bugs happen. However, there were also a good amount of spiderwebs and little bugs all around the window near the shower, which didn't make us feel like we were expected. I understand our reservation was made the day before, but that should have given him more than enough time to double check to make sure things were clean. 
The bed was incredibly stiff (my boyfriend thinks the best word is ""ungodly"" stiff) and even though the towels may have been clean, they were very stained. I'm not sure we will be back, but it was a good last minute thing."
2249281,15739958,2014-07-14,16605351,Christina,Lovely stay at Blaine's house in Austin. The room was comfortable and cool which was important because Texas is hot! Blaine also provided great restaurant recommendations which was very helpful.
2249281,16235984,2014-07-23,10019248,Sa-Eun,"Awesome host, easy to work with, always offering help. Beautiful house and amenities - as Blaine's name indicates, a gifted Carpenter's home :)
Please is exactly as shown in the photos. "
2249281,17731104,2014-08-16,19666488,Alex,"Blaine and his roommate were very welcoming, more than happy to give me occasional rides, share food with me, and converse at length. The accommodations were nice, clean sheets, clean room, hot shower. Downtown was indeed just a few minutes away, and the place was nice and centrally located."
2249281,17990966,2014-08-19,18946278,Casey,"Blaine is very kind and his place was both very inviting and provided a delightful experience. The room I stayed in was comfortable, clean, and the house was in a safe area. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the vinyl collection since it was such a short visit, but what an awesome place and vibe.  The home itself is charming and I felt very welcome! Blaine even gave me a ride to dinner as he was on his way out. Such a great stay. Thanks, Blaine! "

2249281,19182838,2014-09-07,20985416,Masimba,"Blaine was very warm and welcoming when I arrived.  The room listing was exactly as described on the listing and within about 10 minutes' drive of downtown. It was exactly what I needed, with some nice extras like the 'hidden chocolates' - see if you can find them :)

Got some advice from Blaine about what to check out on (college football)game day and to get there early!

I also got a great tip for breakfast the following day from Blaine's housemate - Veracruz, excellent breakfast burritos!

Thanks Blaine (and housemate) - I would stay again if I ever visited Austin!"

2249281,19996331,2014-09-21,19900483,Emma,"Just what we needed, basic but ideal. Marissa was lovely and the room very comfortable. $10 über ride to south congress ave. Thank you. Highly recommend. Great value."
2249281,20401308,2014-09-28,8008314,Katie,Space was perfect and the house was close to anywhere you'd want to go. Blaine accepted me very last minute and it was appreciated. Would stay again!

2249281,22328389,2014-11-03,21729672,Kevin,"Great stay! Blaine made me feel welcome, offering to be there when I checked in and suggesting nearby restaurants and bars. The place was clean and spacious, in a nice quiet neighborhood. I was able to get work done at the big dining room table, and take a short drive or bike ride over all South Congress has to offer. I highly recommend staying here."
2249281,22477767,2014-11-07,10830827,Caitlin & Chais,"Blaine was super nice, offering suggestions and checking in to see if we needed anything. We felt very comfortable. Cool, hand made furniture in the house. He also let us use his bikes to ride around town, we loved that. Pretty easy and close to hip South Congress. "
2249281,22502336,2014-11-08,17494466,Maria,"Blaine was wonderful in providing prompt communication throughout the reservation process. He made sure I had all the information I needed to check-in even if he was not able to be there in person upon my arrival. 
The location was really accessible to downtown Austin which was a plus. "
2249281,25097136,2015-01-06,12811510,Jocelyn,"Blaine was always prompt in addressing any questions or concerns I had. It was so helpful to have the suggestions for places to eat on my first night. The private room and shared bathroom were basic, clean, and comfortable - exactly what I expected for my price point. Thanks for a great stay!"
2249281,25259260,2015-01-10,5145539,Patrick,"Nothing but good things to say about Blaine and his place. Blaine was responsive and clear as far as communications went. He was flexible about our late check-in, which made managing our itinerary MUCH easier.

The place itself is simple, clean, and close to everywhere we needed to be. Most importantly, Blaine and his roommate were not completely awkward and actually pretty normal! Mostly hands off (which is great) but definitely funny and engaging when they had to be. Try to get to know Rufus, the dog. Awesome, but misunderstood."
2249281,25290606,2015-01-11,675930,Jen,"Blaine was a great communicator and even though we didn't have a chance to meet in person I had a pleasant stay at his place. 

His roommate was lovely, as well as his dog! 

The location was about a 20 minute bus ride from downtown but very easy to get to (as are most places in Austin!)

I recommend this room to anyone looking for a sweet deal. The bed is very comfortable, and the house is very inviting. I can only imagine how lovely the backyard would be should it not be overcast and rainy :)

Thanks Blaine!"
2249281,25457838,2015-01-16,1632345,Hilary,"Awesome all around! Blaine was a great communicator, friendly and accommodating. The place was cozy and quiet -- perfect for what I needed. I would totally stay there again!"
2249281,25580544,2015-01-19,5422589,Alyssa,"Great experience. It was my first staying in a shared home on AirBnB and it was a great intro. Blaine was warm and welcoming, and his home was absolutely gorgeous. I came in and crashed as I was exhausted so I didn't get to spend much time in the place but I would definitely recommend it to someone traveling to austin and looking for a clean place to sleep :)"

His home is beautiful and the private room and shared bathroom were clean and comfortable! I will definitely recommend this home to others and look forward to the opportunity to stay again! (This home is a close drive to the Austin Prometric testing center and several good coffee shops, I stayed while I was taking board exams. If you need a place to relax before or during your testing days, this is it!!)"
2249281,27069221,2015-02-24,6139937,Deborah,"What an awesome place to stay in Austin!  Blaine and his roommate Marissa are just rad people. I came in for a conference and didn't know anyone in town, hanging with them on my time off was definitely a highlight of the trip. Both also had great suggestions for places to check out in town. The room is comfy and there's a nice selection of vinyl, if you're into indie. 

Travel tip: Austin kinda sucks without a car. This spot is SUPER close to downtown and it's easy to get wherever you need to go via bus or Uber, but once you're in town the public transpo leaves a little something to be desired. Both Blaine and Marissa gave me rides when they were available which was SO sweet. Really awesome peeps and I'd totally stay with them again!"

The room was clean, bed was large and comfy. Location was about a 10-15 minute drive to the downtown Austin area (will cost you around $10-$15 to Uber that distance, not bad.) The home had a really good cafe about a 5 minute walk from it (Cafe Creme) which was nice in the mornings. Neighborhood was very safe and quiet. "

Not only was the condo tastefully decorated and immaculately clean, it was also situated perfectly- close enough to walk downtown and the Capitol building and just far enough away from the craziness of Sixth St.

Brett as a host was attentive to our needs and incredibly accommodating. He even went out of his way to pick up our luggage the first morning before we checked in to allow us to roam around without the hassle of carrying our things. When we arrived at the condo, he had a six pack of local beer already cold and waiting for us- a simple but thoughtful way of welcoming us to a new city. Between the excellent recommendations and the occasional ""y'all need anything?"" check in texts, Brett was nothing short of great host.

Our overwhelmingly positive experience with Brett and the condo was key to the success of our trip. Whether you've been to Austin once or one hundred times, you'll be hard pressed to find better accommodations!"
4171708,32669381,2015-05-19,10851210,Jason,Great place with a good vibe! Very comfortable.  Brett was very responsive and flexible.  We decided to take a last minute trip and he was glad to help us make it happen.  Would definitely stay here again the next time I find myself in Austin.  
4171708,32773600,2015-05-21,6895468,Tom,Loved it! Brett was the perfect host and the place was so nice we wanted to never leave. He even left us a six pack to start off our stay! The place was airy and open and felt so much bigger than it was. The bed was awesome! I slept like a stone! Thanks Brett!
4171708,32829985,2015-05-22,398483,Bonnie,"My husband and I had a lovely one night stay in Brett's sparkling clean treetop apartment. It was quiet and comfortable and had everything we needed - nice towels, super comfortable bed and Netflix on the big screen. Great wifi, hot water and a full kitchen made it perfect. We also appreciated the dedicated parking spot and the neighborhood is lovely old Austin - close to UT and downtown. We will return!"
4171708,33376726,2015-05-27,7930221,Mason,"Great place!  My 5 yr. old daughter, her mom and I stayed for 5 days.  We loved the location and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Austin.

We loved the condo.  The decor was so cool, and it was the perfect size for a couple.  Also very clean and in a nice, homey area.  We felt very comfortable there.  Thank you Brett!"
4171708,34376903,2015-06-07,29058336,Debbie,"The reservation process was flawless. Since this was my first experience with renting an Air B&B, I wasn't familiar with the website so I didn't see the owners ""House Manuel"". I sent him a message and the response was quick and helpful as I was directed where to find it. The Manuel had all the information we needed to gain access to the home and all the small details, even how to work the telivision. "
4171708,34754220,2015-06-11,28135208,Mengxi,Brett is very nice and friendly. He provides the comfortable environment to us. The condo could not be more nice. We really enjoy here.
4171708,34957819,2015-06-14,27998697,Brad,"What a great place! Brett, our host, was friendly, responsive, and helpful. He kindly let us stash our stuff at the condo before the check-in time. What's more, the place was clean, up-to-date and attractive, and the location was safe and convenient. But the best part, undoubtedly, is the balcony. We spent more time there than inside the apartment! If you're visiting Austin, I definitely recommend this place. "
4171708,35123842,2015-06-15,13325531,Antoinette,Brett's place was great! It was super clean and he left a very detailed house manual to help get situated. He was also very attentive with my questions. The apt itself was very comfortable and in a great location. I would stay here again anytime!

4171708,35557708,2015-06-20,31981121,Daniela,"Staying at Brett's apartment was the perfect way to experience Austin. Not only was the apartment incredibly clean, organized, and cozy, but it had every amenity we could have possibly needed. 

After being on the road for a while, having things like an ironing board, washer and dryer with laundry detergent, shampoo and conditioner, a hair dryer - basic necessities that were in good condition - was so comforting and helpful. 

On top of that, the apartment was decorated so nicely and really felt like home. We took full advantage of the balcony, the giant television, with Netflix and Pandora included - a lovely surprise - and the chilled mason jars in the freezer. Brett honestly thought of everything. And if we had any questions, he answered almost immediately. 

The location of the spot was perfect as well. It was a ten minute drive from literally any place we wanted to go - restaurants, bars, shops, etc. When we wanted to go out to bars, an uber was at the building within three minutes tops. 

Overall, I have zero complaints. The apartment was the perfect space for myself and my three friends and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to spend some time in Austin. "
4171708,35823297,2015-06-22,827770,Ema,"Apartment was clean and welcoming, true to pictures. Brett was flexible and accommodating with change of plans prior to trip. Highly recommend this to someone looking for a place close to downtown, with added benefit of free parking on premises."
4171708,35980617,2015-06-23,20669252,Mark,Absolutely fantastic apartment. Great location and perfect host
4171708,36136972,2015-06-25,7827846,India,"We booked this for our brother for their Honeymoon and have only heard very positive feedback. Thank you for making this an easy and smooth experience.
"
4171708,36244243,2015-06-26,36345613,Sarah,This was my first Airbnb experience and we were very impressed. My boyfriend and I stayed 1 night just to get out of town. The place is awesome! It's the perfect location (close to downtown) and is very clean and well kept. We felt very safe which is a huge factor to me.  It's definitely a better alternative than a hotel. It looks exactly like the pictures… No guessing at all! This may be our new go-to place when we go back to ATX! 
4171708,36450824,2015-06-28,35877811,Emily,Brett was amazing. Everything was very specific in the guidebook for how to access things in the condo. It was very clean and looked exactly as the pictures described. Brett was a great host in that any time we texted him with a question about Austin or the apartment he responded within minutes. Definitely the perfect place to stay if you're visiting Austin! 
4171708,36565383,2015-06-29,30989872,Amber,"What a great experience! Brett was very responsive and attentive and his treetop apartment was the perfect spot for our Austin exploring. The space was trendy, very clean and cozy, with a lot of charm and detail. We will certainly be returning! "
4171708,37150847,2015-07-05,30418832,Erica,"The apartment was really clean, spacious and the balcony was so nice to sit out on in the mornings. The laundry machine was also really nice to have. The location was really good, and on a quiet street. "

4171708,37917316,2015-07-11,37507074,Randy,"
Loved the detailed instructions complete with karma humor. Nice neighborhood. A couple of light bulbs out/missing from the kitchen chandelier is the only maintainence issue we saw. 
Thanks again,
Randy and Amy"
4171708,38593662,2015-07-17,2071027,Deborah,"We had a wonderful stay in Brett's condo, I loved drinking coffee on the balcony in the morning! It is a great place, very tastefully decorated (my partner is on the hunt to find some of the great furniture that Brett has) and incredibly comfortable.  We are looking forward to staying here again next time we are in Austin. "
4171708,38749479,2015-07-18,5983401,Jason,Brett met us at the unit and made sure we had everything we needed. We found the unit to be just as depicted in the listing. It was clean and neat as a pin. The little 10-unit condo complex was easy to find and was just as well-located as we had hoped it would be.
4171708,38854824,2015-07-19,17920393,Imelda,The house was perfect.  Great location and Brett was very friendly.  I'd definitely recommend staying here.  
4171708,39280215,2015-07-22,3381904,Ella,"Nice layout, quiet neighborhood.  Brett met us there and helped with luggage to get into the condo.  Need to let folks know it is 2 flights up!"
4171708,42661967,2015-08-15,31431418,Anne,"Brett was organized, considerate, hospitable, thoughtful, cheerful and responded immediately whenever I called with a question.  The apartment was just perfect.  It's  like living in a luxury tree house.  Everything you want to do is right outside your door in the city but it was quiet and clean and in a beautiful old neighborhood.  I hope to always stay in this apartment whenever I visit my young adult daughters.  And sweet Brett is now a friend as well.  The whole experience was positive and wonderful.  Feeling blessed."
4171708,42955166,2015-08-16,25320009,Charlene,Everything was exactly as described!  Cute place close to 6th Street.  
4171708,45242182,2015-09-01,32267378,Anna,"Brett was brilliant from the moment the booking was made to my arrival and during my stay. Providing information on things to do and places to see.  The apartment was in a good clean condition upon arrival and there were towels, shampoo etc available."
4171708,45606819,2015-09-04,20182653,Jim,Apartment was exactly as advertised - which isn't always the case - and very pleasant..  Great location and Brett's communication was very helpful in getting settled.  Brett's  recommendation of Goodall's Kitchen at Hotel Ella was a good one and it was a pleasant walk there and a great meal.
4171708,46381252,2015-09-10,11390434,Steve,"I became very ill the day before our scheduled trip and had to call Brett and cancel. He was extremely gracious and has offered to let us stay two week days for free this fall. When he let's me know what days are available, we will re-book. We can't thank him enough for his concern and understanding.
Steve"
4171708,46740638,2015-09-13,39457713,Molly,The host made me feel welcome and his apartment has accurately described with the listing page. Thanks for a great weekend!
4171708,47081381,2015-09-15,10853043,James,"Awesome Apartment!  Highly recommend staying here!  You can't go wrong with two balconies, nice living room with netflix and a full kitchen.  Brett was very accommodating and prompt with any questions or concerns we would have.   This was our first AirBnB experience and it makes us wonder why we wasted all our travels booking rooms in hotels when you get something as great as this!"
4171708,47231778,2015-09-16,3082232,Lisa,"Great little flat well located, and we loved the decor, especially in the bedroom! Sofa bed was plenty comfy for a one night stay. For those sleeping on the sofa bed, bring an eye mask for the Austin morning light, and maybe a pair of earplugs if you're not used to air con noise. Fantastic to have car parking space also."
4171708,47623888,2015-09-21,26957603,Jennifer,I had a great experience at Brett's apartment. It was clean upon arrival and Brett had awesome suggestions on places to go and eat. When we return to Austin  we will be staying here again!
4171708,47696867,2015-09-21,13041865,Michael,Brett had an awesome place that was close to campus and everything you'd want to do. His place was clean and as advertised. He was also very attentive and easy to contact!
4171708,48265514,2015-09-25,24046267,Heather,"The apartment was great. Definitely centrally located and close to anything you would want to see in central Austin. We visited quite a few local food trucks. 
Brett's place officially gets the most comfortable bed award on our two week trip! The apartment has a little bit of everything you need. Brett was quick to answer and available if we needed anything."
4171708,48679630,2015-09-28,4598704,Zach,Great place in a very central location. A short walk or car ride from central Austin and all the fun stuff there. Lots of room in the apt and great bed.
4171708,49035100,2015-09-30,19366606,Clare,"This is a heavenly stay in a great city. The apartment is cool, spacious and so leafy it's almost a treehouse. The neighbourhood is really serene but very central. We loved spending time here and it was a great base to see Austin from."
4171708,49764812,2015-10-06,5317970,(email hidden),"Brett was super awesome and helpful with logistics from the moment we made the reservation. Quick to respond via text and just a general pleasure to connect with. 

The apartment was adorable. Absolutely perfect for our group of 3 attending the first weekend of ACL. The apt. is about a 2 mile walk to Zilker--we wound up using Uber/Lyft to get to and from and the cost was about $5 each way. 

Apt. is 1-2 blocks from 2 different B-cycle (bike sharing) pick up points, 1 mile from downtown (and the flagship Whole Foods... holla!) Close to campus and on an adorable super quiet street. Also has every amenity you need--AC, full kitchen and bath, pull out couch, cozy bed, ironing board, etc.

I couldn't recommend him or his place more highly--can't wait to come back again next year (fingers crossed!)"
4171708,50017891,2015-10-08,22797371,Kc,"Brett was in good communication .. Gave us information before we arrived.  His place is as pictured. It is clean, comfortable , quiet, and in a nice neighborhood. We appreciated that our dog was welcome. The bed was comfortable; nice shower and towels. The kitchen has just what is needed. We would recommend this place . Just remember there are two flights of stairs to climb..."
4171708,50430595,2015-10-12,14897971,Dean,"The stay at Brett's place was extremely comfortable!  The unit was spacious, nicely furnished, and outfitted with nice appliances/fixtures.  We really liked the balcony. 

The neighborhood is quiet and close (by taxi/uber/lift) to all the places in Austin you might want to visit.  I would say that walking from downtown back up the hill to the apartment is a bit of grind so would definitely recommend taking a cab.  All in all, I would definitely stay here again!"
4171708,50737420,2015-10-13,7202480,Lauren,"Very nice space, accommodating and walking distance to pretty much anything you need. Very comfy bed and pillows, like amazingly comfy! Quick turn around and response time as well. Will definitely stay here again! Thank you!!!"

4171708,52509505,2015-10-30,3956822,Carey,"Brett's place couldn't be nicer and is absolutely ideal for couples. Its location is perfect as it's in a quiet neighborhood that's in crawling distance from downtown. Brett is an awesome host who genuinely cares if his guests enjoy themselves. Moreover, he's just a downright nice guy to boot. This was without a doubt one of my better Airbnb experiences. Cheers, Brett!"

A quiet and open neighbourhood on just a 10 minute bike ride away from the city centre. Couldn't wish for a better introduction to both Austin and AirBNB... Thanks Lena!"

1550149,28068654,2015-03-17,24114513,Theresa,"The Wagon House was perfect for our SXSW Interactive trip! The location was close enough to downtown that we could be there quickly via Uber or public bus. It was just far enough from the action that after a long day we could come home to relax and enjoy a margarita and great food from a close by restaurant. The SoFi (South First) neighborhood offers a unique flavor of Austin, is centrally located and safe! 

The house itself was just the right size for 3 gals to have personal and social space. It was clean and comfortable, and we found all the amenities we needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. And the essentials, coffee and water, were there for us as well. 

Laura was so nice and easy to work with! Hope to be back next year! A great place to stay in Austin whether you are there for SXSW, ACL, or just to visit all the great things the city has to offer. 
"
1550149,28649330,2015-03-28,26584257,Jason,"The house was as gorgeous as advertised and we loved our stay there! Laura made sure we had all the information we needed before we arrived, and then helped us out when we had any questions about the house. There was everything we needed in the house, and it was very comfortable! The big garage was a nice surprise as well, as we did not know that was going to be there when we booked! The house was clean and perfect, couldn't have asked for a better house/host!"

Michael is a very cool and understanding host, the house was in good condition when we got there and we had no complains. The house does need a few repairs but nothing major. It has a huge backyard and the house is very spacious. I will defiantly be contacting Michael again next time I go to Austin."
5851049,31962534,2015-05-12,16344008,Andrew,"Michael is a nice person. Good communication ahead of our scheduled visit, was around when we needed something, and also respected our privacy.

I'll be in touch the next time I visit Austin!"
4861616,27073916,2015-02-24,13388264,Chris,"Erica and her team made us feel very welcome.  Everything was as advertised.  This is a fantastic rental close to downtown, MoPac, and the UT campus.  The fenced yard was perfect for our small dog.  The water pressure was good in the showers, the beds were clean and comfortable, the Wi-Fi signal was strong, the televisions were enormous with hundreds of channels, and the kitchen was compact but very functional.  All in, we had a great stay and hope to come back!"
4861616,30401155,2015-04-21,29664185,Christopher,The stay was wonderful. The describtion is accurate about being hard to find. Erica was wonderful. If we needed something they were there. I have not received my deposit back as of one week from entering the place that is my only worry.  This place is recommended. 
4861616,33078622,2015-05-25,13388264,Chris,"This is a great town home for parents visiting their kids at UT or anyone interested in easy access to downtown Austin activities or attractions who want a clean, spacious, convenient base with a great small yard."

Good location (within 2-3 miles of campus and downtown) in a peaceful, safe neighborhood and good restaurants just a couple of blocks away. No problems with parking. The house was very clean and comfortable and a perfect place to relax. The host was easy to contact by phone and email and very friendly and helpful. He even left some great pesto for us to eat! I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Austin area."

Everything was perfect: plenty of space, a lovely back garden & front porch, clean, cozy, nice wood floors, a true home away from home. I would happily stay here again & recommend it to friends.

The neighborhood is quiet, and there is a stream right down the street. It's also walking distance to shops and restaurants. Couldn't ask for more. :)"
1866154,10038458,2014-01-27,10836396,Shantanu,Great place centrally located on a quite street. House was very clean and comfortable.

1866154,21900082,2014-10-26,826306,Paige,"Kyle and his family have an amazing home! The interior is very relaxing, and supremely clean. We arrived to find the house in immaculate shape, towels laid out on the bed, and the lights on so we wouldn't be left in the dark. He checked in on us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable. The location of the house is great, and the proximity to restaurants, downtown Austin, and a major freeway is a major plus. I would definitely go back for a visit!"

We were in town for ACL and it was a quick ~10-15 min Uber ride away from Zilker Park.  Kyle's place is also walking distance from shops, restaurants and a grocery store.  He checked in several times to make sure we had everything we needed and was very accommodating! "
1866154,50273359,2015-10-11,30294202,Aimee,Perfect place to stay for ACL weekend. Brought our bikes and rode down to Zilker park.. Wasn't a bad ride at all! House was clean and Kyle was an awesome host. Found out beforehand that he actually grew up with my family which made it that much more interesting. Kyle made us feel at home and welcomed us like family. He communicated very easily and explained the ins and outs of his house well. He even let us come up early to park our cars before the festival. I would recommend staying here any time! 
699512,2549566,2012-10-08,3704563,Pablo,"My friends and I really enjoyed the cottage that Emily rented us for the night.  It is very easy to find, right off I-35.  We walked in and everything was set up as pictured from the website.  Emily was a great host and left everything ready for us prior to move-in.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood, great location, about 2 miles from Downtown.  Awesome time in Austin, thanks to Emily and her great stay.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for anyone's stay in Austin... fyi... ACL is coming up. ;)  "
699512,2801784,2012-11-04,3897510,Stacy,"Emily's adorable home was truly comfy and wonderful!  Very easy to feel right at home there.  I was in Austin on business and so glad I found her place!  All modern upgrades, great bed & shower, lots of windows, wonderful backyard with a big deck and located in a really cute and classic Austin neighborhood... I would definitely stay there again.  Emily was very informative and helpful on preparing for the stay as well as easy to communicate with via text for random questions during.  "

The neighborhood is quiet with an excellent coffee shop nearby as well as 24/7 grocery stores.  Emily is an excellent host providing suggestions and insights.

I would stay there again."
699512,3844489,2013-03-20,3806807,Jeff,"We stayed at Emily's place for the latter part of SXSW. It was perfect for our group! It's close to the I-35 and public transportation (a short 10-15 single bus ride to downtwon), a grocery store, and a great little neighbourhood cafe and eatery (the Cherrywood Coffee House). Her place was bright (with many windows), tidy, has character, and was exactly as described. The back patio (with hammock) was fantastic and the neighbourhood has lots of nice newer and older houses. Emily has got the whole airbnb thing down to a science - she made this new (for us) experience extremely easy. I would definitely stay here again!    "
699512,10513486,2014-02-23,11242675,Daniel,"Obrigado Emily - passamos dias bem legais em Austin. Sua casa foi fundamental para isso.
Thank you Emily. We had a great time in Austin. Your house was part of it. "
699512,10918510,2014-03-13,2196369,David,"We had a great stay an Emily's during our visit to SXSW 2014.  The house is a very nice bungalow in a safe neighborhood quite close to downtown. We rented bicycles and it was only a 15 min ride from downtown. We stayed with three single travellers, so one of us had to sleep on the airbed in the living room, but that proved to be no problem. The hose was clean, well-kept and very comfortable. Emily gave us an efficient introduction to the workings of the house and left us a binder with all kinds of useful information. She even left us a basket with all kinds of snacks, which we appreciated greatly! Sadly the weather was quite cold, so we couldn't spend much time on the lovely porches, something we'd really looked forward to. Luckily there are lots of nice coffee places and shops in walking distance. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
699512,11778143,2014-04-14,14011658,Casey,"This worked out great!  Good location and comfortable house.  Back porch was relaxing and perfect for eating meals.  Thanks, Emily!"
699512,49692238,2015-10-05,2571622,Jesse,"What a wonderful place! It was perfect for our ACL weekend getaway.

Emily's cottage is a quick walk through oak-lined Cherrywood to tons of awesome restaurants on Manor Rd, and a near-instant $8 Uber to and from downtown. The hammock on the back porch is a wonderful place to daydream and doze off after one too many margaritas.

We'll definitely stay here when we're back in town. Thanks!"
699512,51931180,2015-10-25,33870637,Sarah,"Emily's house was exactly as advertised! It was perfect for our group of four for a weekend in Austin: convenient location to DKR stadium (we could have walked!), a nice and safe neighborhood without a ton of traffic and just a short drive to most Austin spots!

She was very prompt in responding to all of our messages prior to our stay and left a very helpful guidebook with info on the house and suggestions for places to eat nearby. She even left us a few goodies on the counter for when we arrived. Great stay, would definitely go back if we are down in Austin!"

Anddd it was right on 6th street, so perfect. Great host, definitely would stay there again. Thanks Megan!"

The host was kind, courteous, and friendly. In fact, I even ran into the host while enjoying the town and enjoyed a brief conversation.

I'd stay here again!"
4491871,26705820,2015-02-17,15768292,Yuan,"Megan was responsive and very flexible with her schedule to meet our needs. Although the airbnb listing was for a private room, we had the apartment to ourselves for the long weekend. This made it extra easy. 

The neighborhood was safe. But it was def further away from downtown then I had expected. Likely a 20-30 min walk. We uber-ed everywhere. That was very convenient and it was about $10 ride to downtown. "
4491871,27894212,2015-03-14,14910810,Steven,got the key with ease and everything was exactly as described. would def stay there again.

The place was easy to find and very clean with fresh towels ready for our use. My schedule while in Austin kept changing and Megan was very accommodating. I would definitely stay at Megan's again the next time I'm visiting Austin.

4491871,33289206,2015-05-26,32527255,Kimberly,"The listing description was very accurate. A good place and good price. We took Uber rides to downtown and they were about $7 per way. The bar across the street, Mean-Eyed Cat, was great and has good BBQ. The host was very accommodating and available for questions/needs via text."
4491871,48843406,2015-09-28,43057104,Francis,"Really nice place, we felt very comfortable and the location was great. Also, very nice and helpful host who responded quickly to our queries"
4491871,49830518,2015-10-06,44746557,Bryan,"Megan was flexible and met us at the apartment to hand off the key, we then had the apartment to ourselves for the entire weekend.  This was a great home base for ACL, it was ~2 mile bike ride to the festival grounds, and there was a bike rack near Megan's unit.  Downtown was easily accessible, only about 1 mile to Kung Fu.  "
4491871,50515972,2015-10-12,44705223,Gerald,"Megan's place was legit. It was clean, comfortable, and just a small Uber ride to the heart of 6th street. I strongly recommend staying here."
4491871,51333026,2015-10-19,29229225,Elaine,Megan's place was as advertised. About a $6-10 uber from 6th street/downtown. The apartment was clean and accommodates 3 perfectly. We didn't meet in person but she was very responsive via messages. Guest parking lot was near the apartment. Thanks Megan!
349638,1218536,2012-05-02,2175317,Angie,Can't beat the location.  This condo has great potential and owner is efficient and quick to respond/easy to work with.  The complex is quiet a We really enjoyed our stay!

1835674,30758420,2015-04-27,26374826,Elliot,Listing was as described.  House was in great shape when we arrived.  Would recommend for groups looking for a spot near Zilker Park.  Putting green was unexpectedly fun for the group.
2754820,20892042,2014-10-07,7819938,Eric,Great experience overall. The house itself and the support provided were excellent. 
2754820,21575602,2014-10-20,16389150,Tom,"Erica and the entire group made our stay absolutely seemless and wonderful. The house was gorgeous and just as important everything about it, getting in, local spots was laid out for our group. I cannot recommend Erica and her team high enough. It was truly a very memorable experience."
2754820,52245942,2015-10-27,44786489,Todd,"The house was just as advertised. Great location and no surprises. Beautifully kept property and hands-on, attentive management team. We had bad weather, so were forced to be there more than planned. If anyone knows the benefits of this house it's me. Big thumbs up."
936243,3766203,2013-03-12,4705853,Aseem,"I wasn't sure what to expect on our first AirBnb stay but I was pleasantly surprised with Marc's hospitality! The condo is very nice and comfortable. You could tell Marc took the time to prepare for our visit by providing clean towels, sheets, bottled water and some OJ + bagels for breakfast. We were in town for SXSW and Marc offered to pick us up/drop us off at the airport. He also showed us around Austin and gave us rides to and from downtown if he was available. Best of all Marc is a great guy to hang out with. I enjoyed his company and am looking forward to our next trip to Austin. "
936243,10444441,2014-02-18,6204044,Anna,"Marc was so kind to put us up with very short notice. His place is in an excellent location, the apartment is clean and beautiful, a pretty neighbourhood and plenty of things to do in the area. Marc is a particularly helpful, generous and kind host!"
936243,10957441,2014-03-15,4595435,Ron,"Great place, nicely furnished and clean. Close enough to downtown to be a pleasant walk up South Congress to downtown and SXSW. Marc was a super friendly host, sending detailed info about finding the place and getting around. I also really appreciated the bottled water supply in the fridge."
936243,28162193,2015-03-19,25872253,Uday,"I had a truly wonderful stay: very accurate condo description with a very hospitable, gracious host! Marc kindly picked me up from the airport (he offered!), and even offered to drop me off at the SxSW convention center! Super close to downtown area, and several convenient eateries. Marc was super helpful in every way, suggested places to eat, kept the fridge stocked with waters, and guided my way through the condo village. His unit is totally ""smart"" too, with auto-lighting and such, with awesome WiFi and Netflix/AppleTV hooked up to enjoy. The condo is beautifully furnished, and super quiet--perfect after a long day at SxSW! Highly recommend and would stay here again."
3550982,17544192,2014-08-13,5100822,Margaret,"Two very comfortable beds (and bedding), two living areas and a porch...meaning space to spread out. Convenient location in quiet neighborhood but very short drive to SoCo-a nice walk in cooler weather. Answered phone calls and had easy solutions!
Thank you, Erica, I hope to be back."
3550982,25490480,2015-01-17,10391833,Casey,The reservation was canceled 55 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3550982,45322493,2015-09-01,1933874,Valerie,"This is a charming house, very typical of the style of most older homes in that area.  (My parents live a block away, so I know the neighborhood well.)  It's set up with an access code, so that getting in is very easy.  All the supplies I needed were there.  It's a short walk to Jo's Coffee and countless other attractions in SoCo, but the house itself is nice and quiet.  I would definitely stay there again."
3550982,45456119,2015-09-02,40857421,John,The host canceled this reservation 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3550982,51371469,2015-10-19,45394768,Hansel,This is an excellent location for anyone visiting Austin. Super bike friendly and close to everything. We were out there with our cycling team for an event and it housed us very well. Everything is pretty much straight up and we never met our Host which is fine because the instructions were pretty clear. I Definatey recommend this spot for anyone that is visiting. 
5511174,28140356,2015-03-18,28685706,Mohammad,"In short: Anne was an amazing host. She and her partner were super friendly, and made me feel comfortable in a new place; it honestly felt more like I was staying with a friend than with a ""host."" 

She was also very accommodating: she pulled out an air mattress because so I wouldn't have to sleep on the couch (even though that's what I booked), and offered to drive me to ACC for SXSW when our schedules aligned.

The house itself was clean, without being stuffy. All around, just a great experience. I highly recommend Anne for anyone looking to stay in Austin for a few days."
642436,10841482,2014-03-10,6472133,Aaron,"Great view - just as pictured
Made us feel very welcome
Thanks!"

642436,11786670,2014-04-14,413365,Marc,"Chad was super flexible, responsive and able to help us a last minute stay for our final night in Austin. He was great at keeping in contact with me and offered a great place to stay! Super clean, comfortable, and with a great view! Enjoyed watching the sunset off his balcony as our trip to Austin completed. Would certainly stay here again!"
642436,13120385,2014-05-19,251373,Hanna,"Chad is a great guy and very responsive to everything. The apartment was great and exactly what was promised (although I wish it was clearer that the second bedroom was a loft). Chad went above and beyond expectations on making our stay wonderful. He was an excellent communicator and even checked-in throughout the weekend to make sure we were doing. The neighborhood is a close drive to everywhere in Austin but there is not much walking distance from the apartment, which is fine, considering its really easy to find parking anywhere in Austin. We loved our visit and our stay in this apartment. "
642436,18846512,2014-09-01,20393697,Veronica,"This was my first time utilizing airbnb.com and I am excited to say we were very pleased with the results of our stay.  Chad is a phenomenal host and his apartment/condo is very clean, inviting and comfortable. You have everything you need for a short term or long term stay. The complex is beautiful and very well maintained and the neighborhood is safe and beautiful and very close to many amenities and best of all very near the beautiful Zilker Park & Barton Springs. When we visit Austin again we will definitely call Chad. Please if you rent from Chad do us a favor and take good care of his home because we will be back. Thanks again Chad! "
642436,19183626,2014-09-07,21007332,Michael,Chad was an excellent host.  He was very attentive and responded immediately if we had any questions.  The view from the deck is very nice and my favorite part of the condo.  
642436,20810549,2014-10-06,5290756,Rachel,"Chad made me feel welcome right after we booked our stay - his communication style is warm and friendly and he is very responsive.  He put together a nice ""welcome email"" a few days before our stay was to start that was very helpful.  Chad was accommodating about our arrival time and his place was as expected.  Very clean and the view is great!  We liked the location (the reason we picked the place) and Chad made us feel like we could really make it our home.  We had 4 people staying there and it was just the right size for us.  We didn't get a chance to use the community hot tub but we would have liked to!  Overall, I would recommend staying with Chad and would stay there again if we were looking for a place in the area."
642436,21192991,2014-10-13,13260862,Blake,We came for ACL week 2 and had a great time. Chad was a great host and very helpful getting us set up even though we didn't arrive until almost midnight! He responded very quickly for any little question that I had and also checked in a couple of times throughout the weekend. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.
642436,21566424,2014-10-19,11200480,Christina,"Chad was a great host and his apartment was lovely. He was very attentive to our arrival, his place was immaculate, he was generous with extra bikes and food from his kitchen and most impressively, he donates a portion of all his proceeds to a great cause - sending girls to school in Africa. He checked in to see if we needed anything during our stay. And the place was great. Comfortable and convenient to so much of downtown austin. We'd definitely stay again! Thank you chad!"
642436,21924315,2014-10-26,3058344,Sara,"Had a great experience renting from Chad, who was very nice and accommodating. The apartment is very nice and clean, and in a great location. Thanks, Chad! "
642436,22230722,2014-11-02,20241091,Caroline,"This was a great experience. The condo was a good size and the view was unbeatable. The location was easy to get to and removed enough to be quiet. The condo was well appointed and homey, plenty of room for three of us. "
642436,22519632,2014-11-09,736634,Sarah,"Chad was a wonderful host and very accessible/easy to communicate with throughout our stay.  He was very generous with lending us his bicycles, inviting us to partake in food from his kitchen, and making suggestions for places to eat, things to do.  The condo was as described in the listing, although it felt a bit smaller than we had expected.  He's got a few more furniture items than pictured, so it did feel a bit cramped at times for 4 tall midwesterners moving about and sharing one bathroom.  Other than that, we wholeheartedly agree with all of the previous positive reviews Chad has received and would definitely recommend his place to others!"
642436,28132199,2015-03-18,4321716,Wietse,"We had a great time during SXSW in Chad's apartment. A lovely view and a welcoming and communicative host. We met Chad when we arrived at the apartment and he helped us with all the things we needed to know. Great and ideal spot to unwind after a busy day in a lovely part of Austin, easy to get to and from downtown from here. Great that there were bikes we could use!"
642436,30731579,2015-04-26,3851078,Amanda,We had a great time at Chad's place in Austin- the apartment was spotless and had everything we could ask for. Chad was very communicative before and after the stay to make sure all went smoothly. The fruit & drinks he left were very appreciated. Location is perfect- amazing views of the greenbelt and easy access to the city. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in ATX.
642436,33166602,2015-05-25,8402701,Brad,"We had a pleasant stay at Chad's condo, which was just like the photos.  The unit is very comfortable, and Chad is friendly and easy to communicate with (although we did not meet in person).  The location is great.  It is not far from downtown and yet you feel like you could be far from the city in the hill country, with beautiful views from the balcony.  And delicious tacos at TacoDeli nearby!! I would stay here again and would recommend it to friends.  "

8340455,48156965,2015-09-23,44531637,Hilda,"Thank you for sharing your place with me.  I loved your balcony, the decor and the neighborhood.  Just as advertised."
8340455,50388045,2015-10-11,45757104,Tonya,"Claudia was so quick to respond and and made everything amazingly easy for a later arrival time.  She provided great information on restaurants and entertainment that was close and convenient to the apartment, and graciously answered my many additional questions related to specific things we were interested in.  
The apartment had everything we needed for a long weekend stay.  The mattress was as comfortable as ours at home.  The apartment is also centrally located so we never had to drive more than 15 minutes to get to our destination.  
We would definitely return to Claudia's for another weekend in Austin."
8340455,51553253,2015-10-21,20588274,Gabrielle,This apartment was absolutely awesome! Beautifully appointed and looks just like the pictures and super convenient for where we needed to be. Quick 10 minute Uber ride to get downtown and easy parking for our car. Claudia made it so easy for us to slide into town and feel like we have been living here for ages! 
8340455,51795514,2015-10-24,22565100,Carrie,"We had a great time at Claudia's place. Everything was clean and it was in a great location. We were only a mile away from the conference center we needed to be at. Claudia was very helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend her and would stay here again. Thanks for everything! :)"
8340455,52627266,2015-10-31,21614626,Kim,"Great communication, courteous, and accommodating host! All to match a well-kept apartment. The location was convenient to my event at the Norris Conference Center as well as minutes away from a plethora of restaurants and stores. Comfortable bed, super clean, great decor, great setting if you need a place to stay overnight."
1746745,11073130,2014-03-19,6219460,Amnah,"What a house! In a quiet residential neighbourhood, yes, but the views are spectacular, and quite nice to return to this quiet spot after running at SXSW all day. We enjoyed our stay here tremendously. Anil made sure that everything was set up for us perfectly before our arrival. Leaflets informing us of the nearest restaurants, how all the amenities worked at the house, transportation etc. The house has no key, but a code to go in, so if you're a big group, how convenient, go in and out as you please! 

Unfortunately it was far too chilly in Texas for us to swim, but the jacuzzi made up for it. All the amenities at the house are easy to use, and if you're perplexed about anything (it's quite a modern house and most things work digitally or electronically, like the entrance or house code), then Anil would have left instructions on how to use it somewhere in his leaflets. 

Anil was readily available via text if we ever needed anything, but wasn't a pushy host at all! He let us enjoy this house like it was our own. I appreciated that very much. What can I say? The 10 of us felt like we had more than enough room, we loved being there, and would recommend that people stay. If just to experience that view. I was pretty stoked to wake up to that every morning. 

Would definitely return!"
5136751,28712148,2015-03-29,27560326,Elaine,"Ten of us stayed at the Downtown Boho Chic Residence for my bachelorette party weekend and it was perfect.  The location was perfect - about a seven minute walk to Rainey Street, a ten minute walk to bars on East 6th Street, and a fifteen/twenty minute walk from downtown.  There was plenty of room for the guests and plenty of hang-out space - nice yard with overhead lights, large dinner table, and couches and chairs.  The house also came fully stocked with towels, which I didn't expect.  Kevin was extremely responsive to any questions we had and was very quick to pop over if something wasn't working.  I would definitely recommend this property to any large groups traveling to Austin. "
5136751,29780489,2015-04-12,29737815,Tad,"Kevin was a fantastic host and has an awesome spot. The house is spacious and well decorated with great amenities (SONOS sound system, outdoor grill, nice master bathtub). The neighborhood is nice in that it is quiet but you are a short Uber away from tasty local eateries and bars (Juan in a Million, La Barbecue, and Cenote). Kevin lives just next door and is highly responsive to texts/emails. At the same time, he was highly respectful of our privacy. This house is great for groups given the large common space and intimate private patio. I would recommend this house (and Kevin) unequivocally. "
5136751,30225281,2015-04-19,7532892,Connor," This house was great for our group! Tastefully designed with all the upgrades! Large backyard with grill and tavern lighting...don't miss the Bocci ball set! Large bathrooms, great bedding and tons of natural light made this house a highly desirable place to spend a lot of time! I would highly recommend anyone making this their choice in Austin.
"
5136751,30678584,2015-04-26,10337097,Matt,"Our group of 10 for a bachelor party really enjoyed this house.  Kevin did an amazing job with the design of the home featuring great upgrades and even offered us a couple of extra aero beds for more comfort.  The house had a great back/side yard for us to take advantage of the Austin weather, play some bocce, bbq and relax.  We would definitely recommend staying at this home, or any of Kevin's updated houses.  "
5136751,32014273,2015-05-12,2535400,Cj,Kevin's place is incredible. It was perfect for our group. Highly recommended!
5136751,34962297,2015-06-14,5051108,Zack,"Kevin was the perfect host, he was incredibly fast in his responses, gave clear instructions on how to check in/check out, and provided a small gift bag upon arrival.  We actually rented this house as well as the one next door and they were connected by a back yard.  It was a great space for a large group, I highly recommend staying here.  "
5136751,35707416,2015-06-21,33818519,Ray,"Came to Austin for a bachelor weekend with 4 other guys and stayed at this amazing house.  Fantastic design that rivals the most stylish boutique hotels, spacious, and comfortable.  It is well located just a few blocks from Rainey Street (easy walk).   Kevin was a great host, very friendly and responsive.  This was my first AirBnB stay and it was a perfect experience."

5136751,46515578,2015-09-11,37892700,Sean,"Fantastic Space, Modern and comfortable, every thing you need to relax or entertain.  We were in Austin for work, but hosted a BBQ for our colleges that were also in town. I would go back any chance I get.

Kevin and his staff were super responsive and helpful. Thank you for hosting us!"
5136751,47679682,2015-09-21,5849404,Jeffrey,First off the house is immaculate.  Seemed brand new and decorated in a very cool modern way.  Very updated and fantastic for our trip.  The house manager Laura was extremely responsive to all of my inquiries and responded in a very timely manner.  Would highly recommend Kevin's home.   
5136751,51127748,2015-10-18,33468935,Brett,"We had a great time at this home for our Austin vacation. It is located on a quiet street not far from the fun of Rainey street and the highway. The house was very clean and everything we needed was easy to find. I would recommend this listing for any large group looking for a fun, clean, private place to stay while in Austin. Laura, was always available to help us if necessary and was very accommodating to our specific travel needs. She was also very quick with her responses to our questions throughout the booking process.

I would recommend this house to anyone."
5136751,52536744,2015-10-30,45146774,Matthew,Awesome property great for a large group spacious enough that you won't be on top of each other. This is a great location to downtown.  Take advantage of the grill outside. 
6499425,34512176,2015-06-08,1643453,Yara,Adam's place is in an amazing location- I walked nearly everywhere I needed to go. Wonderful experience- Adam was very communicative and made sure I had everything needed to have a pleasant experience. Highly recommended!
6499425,35027774,2015-06-14,35136303,Joe,Adam was a great host and very helpful with my move to Austin letting me know where to go and things to do. The apartment is great and right downtown. 
6499425,35173829,2015-06-15,35412878,Sarah,Functional space with a great location!  The place was clean and the bed was comfy.  We were able to walk downtown for evening activities and had a blast.  Adam was a great host and communicated well with questions I had.  I recommend this place!
6499425,35342664,2015-06-17,35343981,David,"    Adam's place was perfect for what my girlfriend and I were looking for. We were only in town for two days and one night so we were looking for something relatively close to the downtown area to crash.
    The place was very clean and Adam was very quick to respond to any questions we had. He messaged us beforehand with the specific details and then again once we got in to make sure everything was O.K., even suggesting a few things to see in the city.
    The place is located right near the large graffiti wall which is something cool to check out while you're in Austin. Also very close to Whole Foods, 24 hour diner, Amy's Ice Cream, etc.
    Would definitely recommend and would be thrilled to stay here again. Thanks Adam!"
6499425,35441631,2015-06-18,20727881,Aaron,"Adam was a spectacular host!
House was great and ready ahead of schedule. Not to mention it had the coolest floor lamp I have every seen. 
The location is unbeatable and getting in and out was the easiest I have experienced. "
6499425,35532204,2015-06-19,477170,Lorissa,"Adam was awesome.  I was looking for a spot at the last minute, which is very hard to do on Airbnb.  He was so quick to answer and very accommodating.  His place was clean and and cute and in a perfect spot for eating and getting around Austin.  Loved it and would recommend to travelers."
6499425,35704963,2015-06-21,14902571,Matt,"Adam's place was great, right in the heart of West Austin, it was just steps from diner 24 and amys ice cream. There is a huge Whole Foods half a block away, and his apartment is a short walk to downtown and 6th street bars. Everything inside the apartment was perfect and very clean. Having a smart TV was a plus for netflix after a long day, and the bathroom and bedroom was fully stocked, cleaned and ready. I will definitely look to stay here next time I visit Austin."
6499425,36464518,2015-06-28,35917479,Thomas,Cool little pad. Great location! A mile away from 6th street and downtown. Adam was a great host! 
6499425,36607084,2015-06-29,17978685,Maryann,"Before arriving Adam, our host, was communicative through text and email. He informed us on where to park and left a parking permit in the apartment.  Upon walking in we immediately loved the privacy that the courtyard provided. Once we walked into the apartment we were welcomed to snacks and refreshments. We were pleased to see that the apartment was exactly as described. The space was clean and orderly. The apartment is close to desirable restaurants and bars... Right in the heart of Austin.

Upon checkout Adam was helpful and made the process easy. Adam and his apartment are a must when booking an airbnb. I could not have asked for a more professional host as Adam. He went over and beyond to accommodate us and I am grateful he allowed us to enjoy his apartment.

Thank you Adam. You were so kind and amazing! I would recommend your apartment to anyone who visits Austin! "
6499425,36917327,2015-07-02,32807608,Robert,"Fantastic location and Adam was an awesome host. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Greeted by wine and fruits basket, a very nice touch. The unit is is very comfortable, super clean and central to everything you need. Whole foods is across the street, along with REI (outdoor sports store), book store, and lots of eating options. The location is a short drive from the airport and University of Texas campus. The availability of two bikes for guests is very convenient and easy way to get around Austin. Adam checked in frequently and was a terrific host. Will stay again for sure. "
6499425,37119106,2015-07-04,177441,Ash,"Adam is a fantastic host, made me feel incredibly welcome, and I would now call him a new friend. "
6499425,37383161,2015-07-06,17475791,Risa,"Adam was an excellent host!  Easy check-in and great apartment/location.  Very close to many good food options, bars and grocery stores.  The apartment was very clean and exactly as pictured.  If you are looking for a great place to stay, this is the spot for you.  I'd highly recommend it!"
6499425,37535924,2015-07-07,21340078,Russell,"This place is perfect for 1 or 2 people who need access to downtown, Zilker, or any centrally located activities in Austin. Adam was very responsive and accommodating to our requests during our short stay."
6499425,38176759,2015-07-13,36567224,Christina,"This was really a great place, nice and clean, comfortable, and walking distance to everything. My husband and I came from Houston for a weekend getaway and hardly got in the car at all, which we loved. Adam was easy to work with and checked up on us a couple of times (not too much) which was nice -- made us feel welcome. We would definitely stay here again!"
6499425,38451084,2015-07-15,11729696,Sheila,"We really enjoyed Adam's spot. The location is terrific and it's awesome that Adam includes a parking pass and two cruiser bikes. The apartment is as shown, very clean and cool. Would have loved to have stayed longer. Already looking forward to the next visit! "
6499425,38777700,2015-07-18,37740897,Evelyn,"What a great apartment in Austin.  It was the perfect size for me and my husband and it had all the amenities we needed.  It was clean, tidy, and uncluttered.  We loved the location--close to Whole Foods, 24 Diner, and Amy's Ice Cream.  And, it was close enough to downtown that we walked to 6th street one night.  The vicinity to the B-cycle station was the best part.  We toured Austin completely by bike and hit all the spots including South Congress, Zilker, Barton Springs Pool, UT, and East Downtown.  I would definitely recommend this place!"
6499425,39460200,2015-07-23,37449403,Steven,Great spot. Very clean and comfortable. Adam is a great host and makes sure you have everything as described. 
6499425,39883232,2015-07-26,16538774,Ashley,"My husband and I chose to stay at Adam's place for a spontaneous 2-night getaway to Austin.  We had originally booked to stay at a hotel we enjoy at The Domain, but after considering the things we wanted to do on this trip to Austin (all near downtown) we decided to cancel and go with Airbnb. Adam is professional and is a very gracious host. He contacted me as soon as I made the reservation and provided very detailed and helpful instructions to assist us as we arrived...location, parking, entry, etc. He also had fresh fruit waiting for us on the kitchen counter, which was a nice and thoughtful touch!  His place was tasteful, uncluttered and spotlessly clean, just as the photos convey. The white bath linens were fluffy and new and I also appreciated that he had Dr. Bronner's pure-castile liquid soap for the shower, which is what we use at home...an unexpected, nice surprise.  The unit does back to a small alley and there is some street noise throughout the night from activity on Lamar (depending on how heavy a sleeper you are), but the white noise of the air conditioners covered that up pretty well for me. My husband is a lighter sleeper, so he did stir easily when the trash trucks were operating. I must emphasize, however, that there is NO better location to be found in Austin!  It's a very short walk to Lady Bird Lake, Zilker Park, South Congress, UT campus, the Capital, fabulous restaurants, bars and shopping. The flagship Whole Foods is about 100 yards away and is a foodie's dream destination in itself! The only places we did NOT walk during our 3 day stay were to the LBJ Library and to the Barton Creek Country Club area to visit friends. As I said, Adam's location is perfect, and we were happy with the value we received considering that! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Adam as a host!"
6499425,40838269,2015-08-02,32684081,J.D.,I had a wonderful time in this great listing. Super comfortable and easily accessible to everything. The host was very accommodating and I would recommend it in a heartbeat to friends.
6499425,42725215,2015-08-15,19660118,Jen,Adam's place was great!  It is walking distance to down town and town lake.  Adam was a wonderful host and very accommodating.  Great stay and thanks Adam! 
6499425,43146638,2015-08-17,16825331,Erin,"This listing was just as described, with cool decor and a very clean interior. Check-in and check-out were super simple, and Adam worked with me to allow us to drop our bags off a little early. Location is great, all of our Uber rides were less than $7 to anywhere we wanted to go that wasn't walkable. Definitely grab breakfast at 24 Diner, ice cream at Amy's, and hey, the BBQ at Whole Foods is pretty darn good too.

Great stay, great location!"
6499425,43626052,2015-08-21,23124799,Melissa,"We stayed at Adams for 2 nights whilst on a road trip and LOVED how comfortable, clean and modern his place was! The flat had everything we needed and the Netflix was an added bonus. Great location too- we highly recommend the 24 Diner across the street and enjoyed how close Adam's place was to everything. 5 stars!"

6499425,45159059,2015-08-31,12424542,Paul,"My wife and I came to Austin for just a few days. Adam's place was perfect for our needs. Great location, good amenities and extremely well kept. We would totally stay there again. "
6499425,45526259,2015-09-03,26863306,Cristina,"This is my second time staying at Adam's place and it was just as perfect as the first! The location of this place is super ideal. It was clean, welcoming, and comfy which was exactly what I needed. I will 100% be coming back to stay here again in the future."
6499425,45805003,2015-09-06,39502984,Kal,Adam's place was brilliantly located and perfect for our few days in Austin. It was lovely and clean and we really liked having the patio area outside to enjoy the great weather. Would definitely stay again.
6499425,46711621,2015-09-13,36754782,Abby,"Thanks so much for letting us stay in your Austin home, Adam! We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The location is perfect and most places we wanted to go were within walking distance."
6499425,47169819,2015-09-16,3344993,Sally,"Adam's place was neat and lovely. Great location close to everything downtown. Austin is a great place to visit, made better by having a cosy retreat to come home to."
6499425,47962791,2015-09-22,34900150,Katrina,"Adam is a great host & I thoroughly enjoyed staying. The place is in a fabulous location, clean & well equipped. I'll definitely stay again. "
6499425,48222359,2015-09-24,26863306,Cristina,"This is my third time staying at Adam's and it's perfect every time! Always clean, always cozy -- exactly what I need for a few days of work travel in Austin. Can't stress the ideal location enough!"
6499425,48474457,2015-09-26,8189438,Ellie,"This apartment was in an amazing location (just a short walk to Whole Foods and the rest of downtown Austin). The apartment interior was super clean, modern and had everything I needed. Overall, a great place to book if you want to be right downtown in a truly walkable area but feel ""removed"" from the hustle and bustle of downtown. "
6499425,48713034,2015-09-28,40550532,Michael,The host was excellent. The place was as described and the location was perfect. Overall we had a good experience. 
6499425,49635418,2015-10-05,41507426,Aaron,Perfect location and cute clean place. Could walk or uber anywhere for a few bucks. Easy check in with code access on door. Highly recommend.
6499425,50743486,2015-10-14,36196323,Neil,"We were in town for the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  The location was perfect, about a 30 minute walk to the festival, but far enough that the crowds weren't a problem.  It was right in the heart of downtown, easy to find, and very comfortable, especially the mattress.  Really enjoyed it, and will keep it in mind next time we're in Austin!"
6499425,51660824,2015-10-22,21340932,Cory,Adam was a great host and the place was great. Exactly as described. Easy to get to everything in the city. Would stay again. 
6499425,51822785,2015-10-24,6757248,Tony,"Great stay at Adam's! Adam was a great communicator and really made the effort to ensure my stay was nothing but great!

The location was perfect and the listing was just as described; with the 24 Diner and Whole Foods steps away as well as easy street parking. I was in town for a tech conference so getting around was easy and the city bikes were a nice touch. 

Thanks again for an excellent stay Adam, see you next time!



Tony "
6499425,52393549,2015-10-29,20739293,Chris,"We had a great stay at this clean and convenient apartment.  The location really can’t be beat: we walked almost everywhere, including the Sixth Street district, downtown, the Capitol, and the beautiful park and trails along the river.  Having the flagship Whole Foods and an incredible, huge independent bookstore both practically across the street made the location even better. As one reviewer noted, the unit is on an alley that gets quite a few trash/delivery trucks at night, but a pair of earplugs did the trick for me.  Adam gave us wonderfully detailed instructions and he was really fast responding to our questions.  We appreciated the coffee, coffee maker & filters, dishes, etc., so that we could enjoy breakfast in the apartment. Parking was a breeze because Adam left us a permit so we could park our rental on the street.  A very nice experience and a highly recommended place!  "
6499425,52825384,2015-11-02,41213289,Katherine,Adam's place was great! Exactly as described and pictured. Clean. Nice neighborhood with some shopping and Whole Foods across the street as well as 24 hour diner. Walking distance to downtown easy. Good location as it is also close to Barton Springs and Bike Trails just to the south. Nice to have access to bikes too! Uber is also super easy to get. Would recommend!
363944,11531703,2014-04-07,11160955,Michael,This place is really cool!  Hosts have everything you would need furnished in the units.  Lots of awesome outdoor areas to hang out and plenty of space for our group of 11.  We really enjoyed our stay!
363944,20184164,2014-09-25,348430,Roxanne,"Great place, quiet neighborhood. Our small group loved hanging out on the back porch at the end of a long night at the film festival and watching the storms over the creek. One small hiccup with a moldy/broken dishwasher that the host was more than happy to send someone over to fix ASAP. Would highly recommend both the host and the house! "
363944,28123359,2015-03-18,12188555,Stacy,"My coworkers stayed at this place for SXSW activities. Scott was really flexible and easy to work with as I made reservations for this. My colleagues were really happy with the place a well, it was clean and very comfortable."
363944,28422782,2015-03-23,16101589,Ryan,"The host was great, there was nothing but help from his end and the house was fully stocked with all the essentials for us. I would recommend the tree house to anyone coming to Austin!"
363944,34219589,2015-06-06,1122108,Andrew,Scott's place was great. We used it for a team offsite and the it worked perfectly for the 7 people (6 sleeping there) that we had in the team. The place is very clean and well presented. Scott was a great communicator throughout and the place provided everything we needed.
363944,36759263,2015-07-01,615094,Marcus,"Scott made us feel welcome and did a great job preparing the house for our arrival.  Loved the touch of a few cold beers in the refrigerator.  Scott was also very responsive with any questions.  All in all, a wonderful stay in Austin.  Thanks Scott!"
363944,46124560,2015-09-08,34754325,Andrew,"Scott made the entire experience very enjoyable and very easy to book. The place matched the description and was exactly what our group was hoping for. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and only minutes from downtown. The house is very large, clean and very nicely furnished. The house comfortably sleeps ten and is ideal for a group. I will be returning to Austin soon and would most definitely rent from Scott again. "
363944,47463708,2015-09-19,35063063,Courtney,"This was my first Air BNB rental and WOW was I impressed. Scott was a fantastic host. Leading up to the trip, Scott answered all of my questions and gave me excellent suggestions for my stay in Austin. I went to Austin for my Rodan and Fields convention and I can't tell you how nice it was to come back to this gorgeous comfortable and clean house with my business partners. We were able to kick back, pour a glass of wine and recap our day. This definitely beats a hotel stay! Thank You Scott!!!"
1777600,13266073,2014-05-24,9333502,Tiffiny,"Loved coming here!  Amanda and Greg were both great to work with and great at answering any questions I had, and were absolutely helpful!  We rented the house while in town for a week for a wedding and with triplets and a four year old and traveling with inlaws and having my sister in law come in for a night it was perfect!   The house had excellent space to let my kids run and play, but also to partition them off so that we could keep them contained but still in one area. Loved having the kitchen and dining room space so open and it easily accommodated 12 people for dinner.  There were some kids toys movies etc there, it felt set up just for us.

They were especially great at working with us on adding 2 nights during our stay! Super easy to ask questions to and great hosts!

Loved the neighborhood, quiet street, friendly neighbors and convenient to a grocery and pharmacy!

Definitely would book any of their properties anytime we were in Austin!

Amanda and Greg, thanks for the great space!"
1777600,13498667,2014-05-29,9333502,Tiffiny,"Greg and Amanda are great!  Super flexible with who stayed with us (following their 12 person limit) and very friendly.  Greg was able to quickly answer any questions we had and was great!  
The house was perfect for us plenty of room for our 20 mo old triplets and 4 year old.  One of my favorite features was the stained floors.  It made everything feel so much cleaner!  Loved the master bedroom it easily accommodated my husband, 4 yr old in the twin, and plenty of room for 3 pack n plays with room to spare!  Loved the room and so much better than a hotel!  Definitely would come here again in the future with my family!"
1777600,14037793,2014-06-10,11050130,Joe,"Our host Amanda was quick to respond to all our questions.  We had eight of us in the North Austin home, seven were from out of town.  The pictures of the house and descriptions were right on, beds were comfortable, plenty of room, check in / out was a breeze and we had a great time.  Thank you Amanda!"
1777600,14297032,2014-06-16,12097346,Josephine,"Amanda's house was huge! We loved the big kitchen and dining room, where our group could sit down and chat after all the hike and bike, plus make our own breakfast in the morning. The location is slightly further to the north part of Austin, it is around 20 mins to downtown without traffic. That didn't bother us at all, for we are from Houston, and 20 mins drive is kindergarten for us lol Overall, we enjoyed our stay here, and look forward to stay again. "
1777600,14868295,2014-06-28,15804984,Tiffany,"First AirBNB experience was just stellar. We picked the perfect house with the perfect location. All 6 of us were comfortable with our own space and the house looks exactly like the pictures! Even better was having the house yards away from a CVS, which was super convenient for us. Great outdoor space and better beds then a hotel! I assumed it was a 2 story due to all the space shown, however it is one story which worked out even better. Amanda and Greg were amazing hosts, attending to any need or question within minutes! "
1777600,18423693,2014-08-26,16008589,Raymond,"Let me first start off by saying our stay was wonderful. Everything in the house was exactly as described and very spacious. The owners, Amanda and Greg, were very friendly and made us feel welcomed. There was an issue with one of the beds during the first night and Greg came out there to fix the problem right away. You couldn't ask for better hosts. "
1777600,19969965,2014-09-21,20872905,Mary,"Clear instructions. Beautiful home. We were appreciative that this house had everything we needed. It was a little far from downtown but the location is bordering plenty of stores/restaurants which made this location convenient. All 10 of us had a bed to sleep on and the beds were so comfortable, it was tough to wake up in the morning "
1777600,22271831,2014-11-02,7003309,Elizabeth,"We had a wonderful stay at Amanda and Greg's place. It was clean, well stocked and comfortable. The hosts are communicative and the property, while a bit far from downtown, is in an area with plenty of shops and restaurants. We found the cable selections to be very disappointing, but were otherwise completely satisfied. "
1777600,22729196,2014-11-13,6079978,Lois,"This home was the perfect place to spend a week.  It matched the on line descriptions, had many helpful amentieis (games, books, DVDs), a well-stocked kitchen with up-to-date appliances.  I chose this property because it is only a block from my son's house in Austin.  That made it an ideal location.  At the same time, even without nearby family, it is close to many restaurants, and a wonderful shopping mall, and in a very quiet neighborhood.  It is also close to the new rail line that takes you right downtown without the hassles of driving and parking.  Communications with the managers were efficient and timely.  When we needed help with the furnace, the response was immediate.  I'm already excited about staying there again."
1777600,27142231,2015-02-26,27211875,Xiomara,Nice house they was very helpfull went I revew for 3 moré nights!
1777600,29914387,2015-04-14,9216234,Katryn,"It was as listed, modest neighborhood, and had all the amenities that were listed. It is a great place for a big group too. We all really enjoyed our stay! "
1777600,30626888,2015-04-25,4957239,Shawna,"We had a large film crew stay here, and it was perfect. A nice house in a nice neighborhood with great hosts. Our stay was comfortable and easy. I'd highly recommend it. "

5442522,28584415,2015-03-26,1591965,Brian,"Doug and his partner were very welcoming. They are new to AIRBNB, but were excellent hosts and room is a great deal for Austin.  Also had a lot of fun with their dogs, who are extremely friendly.  The bed was comfortable and had a nice TV with Netflix which was a nice bonus on a tired evening."
5442522,28852991,2015-03-30,2732692,Xandra,"A great place to stay, especially if you are visiting the Dominion area.  Comfy bed, a nice private bathroom, and a generous host!  I felt very welcome at Doug's home."
5442522,31128346,2015-05-02,31151785,Bryan,"Doug was a great host. The room is comfortable, quiet, and exactly how its pictured. The private bathroom is a big plus. They keep their dogs separated from the room, so if this is concern (wasn't for me) you'll be fine. This is a great place to stay in Austin."
5442522,31740318,2015-05-09,31151785,Bryan,A great place to stay. Quiet and comfortable.
5442522,32273947,2015-05-16,31151785,Bryan,Another good week. I still think this one of the best places you can choose to stay in NW Austin.
5442522,32914028,2015-05-23,31151785,Bryan,I spent several weeks staying here and they were always very kind and they room was always comfortable.
5442522,34171198,2015-06-05,34550912,Sara,"Doug and his partner were extremely welcoming and super flexible with my arrival time. The house was exactly as described and I had access to everything – fridge, washer/dryer, weights, etc. Their two dogs are absolutely adorable and the room was perfect. The neighborhood was very nice (they have a community garden!) and everyone seemed very friendly. "
5442522,36351636,2015-06-27,23127789,Scott,"Doug & Ryan were wonderful. This was a relatively last minute booking for me, and my plans kept me out later than I anticipated. So I only got to chat for about 15 minutes before calling it a night. But the room was perfect, just as advertised. Their communication was superb, and they were very welcoming. I'd definitely come back in the future!"
5442522,40609683,2015-08-01,36176254,Salma,"Doug,  Ryan,  Jimmie and Mable were all great hosts (Jimmie and Mable are their sweet dogs).   Clean,  nice home.  Was able to cook any time and do laundry.  More than enough refrigerator room.   Would definitely stay there again."
5442522,41042923,2015-08-03,10712148,Dmitri,Doug and his partner were absolutely amazing. It was legit sauce. The place was dope and the people were even better. On a scale from 0 to awesome they've achieved awesome level expert. 
5442522,41292070,2015-08-05,39051683,Matthew,"Doug was very hospitable. His place is located in a very charming suburb of North Austin and still has the hip vibe that you would expect from the city. The room and bathroom are very clean so no complaints there. His two dogs are extremely affectionate so if you are a dog person this is your place. We had so much fun playing with the dogs before we left that I forgot my glasses on the way out. Fortunately, Doug was kind enough to come by during his lunch to let me back in and retrieve them. "
5442522,43559832,2015-08-20,22611839,Audrey,The house and neighborhood was great! Doug had great communication skills and made him self readily available for any help or recommendations I needed.

5442522,50492112,2015-10-12,31368562,Mia,"Doug and Ryan were perfect hosts. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. We attended the ACL music festival and they were very helpful. They had some some very good suggestions about the best ways to get there, what to expect and what to enjoy in Austin. I would definitely recommend them to anyone."
5442522,51024623,2015-10-17,42392674,John,"doug and ryan gave us access to the whole house with our own private fridge.  the dogs were lovely.  honestly our paths crossed infrequently as our schedules did not mesh.  access to wifi and computer a plus.  they also provided local touristy books that did give some suggestions.    A lovely stay in austin, nicely located in a quiet neighborhood with very amenable hosts.  a very nice experience for first time airbnbers.
"
5442522,51712395,2015-10-24,41801454,Will,"Doug and Ryan's place is wonderful and they make excellent hosts! They made us feel so welcome immediately - it was almost like staying with old friends! Their home is beautiful and the guest areas were very comfortable, as was the communal area. An entire fridge is set aside for guests as is the use of seperate pots and pans so that we could cook without worrying about messing up their things. Their neighborhood is pretty and peaceful as well as being very close to shops and restaurants - perfect! Would wholeheartedly recommend booking at Doug and Ryan's!"
5442522,52119576,2015-10-26,45826851,Michael,Good experience with Dog and Ryan.  Thanks for making us feel at home.  Your dogs are awesome.
1440830,6694108,2013-08-21,3904790,Sean,Mario's place was awesome.  Very clean and organized with some amazing art work. I would definitely stay again
1440830,7017854,2013-09-03,6957111,Jessica,"Wow! Mario's place is absolutely stunning and perfectly appointed. Located in the trendy E 6th area and walking distance to all the downtown hotspots. Incredible artwork by the homeowner himself, ice cold a/c, and by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. Shout out to Mama Mario for the very handy maps and coffee selection. Will recommend to anyone traveling to Austin. Thanks again, Mario!"
1440830,8908471,2013-11-25,1363823,Vanessa,"Staying at Mario's modern townhouse enhanced our weekend in Austin. Exceptionally clean, comfortable and warm, we felt immediately at home. The house is located just a few minutes away from 6th Street's countless bars, restaurants and shops. Mario and his friend Mari were warm, friendly and accommodating. The pictures don't do this place justice. We'd happily stay here again."
1440830,9071211,2013-12-04,9072819,Kelsey,"You could not ask for a better location right in the heart of everything happening on the East Side. We loved how close and within walking distance Mario's place was to both Downtown and the bars and restaurants on the Eastside. The place itself was very spacious loft with good light and a ton of great artwork. We appreciated the full bath upstairs and downstairs, which is convenient if you are traveling as a group. Mario was great host! He was easy to communicate with pre/post our arrival. He made the whole process seamless from check-in to check out and he made us feel like his home was ours for the short time we were in Austin. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you are a couple! "
1440830,9965205,2014-01-21,11262714,Elizabeth,"Mario's place was great! Very cool loft with great artwork and lots of light. We loved how it was walking distance to 6th Street and many of the downtown hotspots. Mario himself was very responsive and easy to communicate with. And, the bed was super comfortable! Highly recommended! We had a great stay!"
1440830,10086603,2014-01-29,292033,Brian,"I contacted Mario semi-last minute, and he was extremely accommodating in setting me up at his condo.

The condo itself looks out over downtown Austin (the capitol building can be seen from the top floor), and the furnishing and location are just perfect. I found the condo extremely clean and comfortable, Mario was a great host, and I will definitely be staying there again next time I'm Austin. Highly recommended."
1440830,10465264,2014-02-20,3543950,Heather,"The best AirBnB experience I've had thus far.  Mario was such a positive, gracious host.  Communication with him was super friendly, helpful and easy.  As for the Swanky Townhouse, it is all that and then some.  Great location in a hip neighborhood, just far enough away from the club part of downtown, but still close to anything you'd need.  Lots of cool bars and food trucks in the area and the Sunday farmer's market across the street was a great bonus.  The place is clean, well decorated and wonderful.  The bed is like sleeping on a cloud, so very comfortable.  If circumstance brings me back to Austin one day for another visit, I would DEFINITELY contact Mario to stay at his place again.  Thanks!!!"
1440830,10527729,2014-02-24,8733294,Suzie,"Mario is so fabulous and this townhouse is amazing! I was going to Austin for work and had three friends meet me there for a mini four-day reunion. All four of us slept comfortably here (2 in the bed, 1 on the couch, and 1 on the air mattress). The location and price were perfect for us. The neighborhood has a lot of great things happen (farmer's market, new restaurants, etc) and downtown Austin is walkable or a cheap taxi away. It was a wonderful long weekend!"
1440830,10879744,2014-03-11,1263631,Daniele,"We had a great experience renting Mario's townhouse during SXSW this year. An easy walk to downtown, great neighborhood, very comfortable place. Mario was available and in touch throughout our stay for anything we needed."
1440830,11309540,2014-03-29,6549152,Blake,Awesome place in an excellent location. Mario was a perfect host. 
1440830,12625954,2014-05-06,3146919,Patrick,"Loads of space, lots of light and a really great vibe. Mario is a terrific host, and went out of his way to recommend places to go and things to see. The bed is super comfy, as promised!

It is worth noting the railway line out front. If you're a light sleeper, you might find the early morning/late night trundling of the trains (and the crossing signals) a bit disturbing - but it didn't bother me unduly.

"
1440830,13728296,2014-06-02,12135835,Aubrey,"Absolutely loved the place!! Mario was smooth with communication and check in. As the for the place, super trendy, clean and great location...walking distance to some hot spots on E 6th. I would DEFINITELY recommend the place!"
1440830,15381527,2014-07-07,3667100,Blaire,"I booked Mario's place extremely last minute, but he responded to my request immediately and made my check in process very easy. Lovely space in a great location!"
1440830,16127847,2014-07-22,8740591,Ryan,this was a great location for walking to all my favorite places on the east side. 
1440830,17031606,2014-08-05,5713862,Julie,"Mario was a great host!  He was kind enough to accept my request last minute and gave us some great suggestions for things to do.  The apartment is very cool, definitely swanky, and in a perfect location in east Austin.  We had a great time and hope to come back for another visit soon.  Thanks Mario!"
1440830,19137397,2014-09-07,4456760,Zoe,"What a great time I had at casa de Mario when he graciously allowed me to stay for a month as I transitioned from Houston to Austin for a new job. When you're not lounging in his stylishly furnished living room or the comfiest bed you've ever experienced, the townhouse is conveniently located near many great restaurants and bars. All the amenities of home, if you're lucky enough to have a home like this: covered and gated parking, accessible guest parking, wifi, clean linens, updated appliances, strong water pressure, and closet space.  So glad I could call it home for a month. Thanks again Mario for welcoming me to Austin!! "
1440830,19558291,2014-09-14,10719665,Dan,"What a great experience! Mario was so accommodating and friendly. A great colorful home with a ton of character. And a perfect location to all the action including the amazing White Horse!  Thanks Mario, we will be back!"
1440830,19876798,2014-09-20,3983139,Justin,"Mario's place is well located in a lively part of Austin (East Sixth Street), lots of great restaurants and bars nearby as well as easy access to wherever else you want to go.

The space is well outfitted, tons of art and an extremely comfortable bed with a view of the Austin skyline. He was a great communicator in regards to check in/check out, would highly recommend booking this listing."
1440830,20361270,2014-09-28,15187694,Perri,"Mario was a great host! He was incredibly accommodating with our check-in and check-out times and getting into the townhouse was a breeze. Everything was clean and we had plenty of towels etc. Mario's place looks just like the photos and it's in a cool neighborhood. You can walk a block north up to 6th street for all types of food, coffee, bars etc. It was quiet at night, though a little bright in the mornings, we would definitely stay here again. We were so busy checking out Austin, that we didn't notice not having cable, although there's a solid stereo system in the living room. Great spot, I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a place in East Austin."
1440830,21140981,2014-10-12,14279948,Erin,Mario is great! Very accommodating! I had to extend my stay by a few days with very little notice and Mario was kind enough to stay elsewhere so that I wouldn't have to make other arrangements. Thanks Mario! The apartment was perfect. Very clean and lots of space. In a central location no less! Would definitely  stay here again. 
1440830,21882700,2014-10-26,10892284,Spyros,"I would highly recommend Mario's place. We had a fantastic time. The townhouse is modern, exceptionally clean, very well decorated, has a cool aesthetically pleasing welcoming vibe and it is truly in the center of it all. The surrounding area is the up and coming trendy part of Austin filled with cafes, food trucks and amazing bars.
Mario was great from beginning to end. We had such a great time that we are looking to go back again in a couple of months. Thanks for everything Mario our trip was awesome!!!"
1440830,23909625,2014-12-14,20911398,Rachel,"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying at Mario's place.  Mario made it easy to check-in by meeting us at his home.  It was exactly as pictured and described.  The bed was super comfy, the decor was very cool, and the whole place was really clean and comfortable.  The location was great, making it easy to walk to close-by Austin bars and restaurants or an easy quick drive to Austin sights.  The metro train station was right there for easy access, but just like Mario says in the description, we didn't really hear it at all.  Overall we would definitely stay at Mario's again given the chance."
1440830,24736522,2015-01-02,23832784,J. Scott,Mario was fantastic. The space is great—very comfortable and has excellent views of downtown. I'd stay here again any time.
1440830,25566898,2015-01-19,614557,Clayton,We had an excellent time in Austin and Mario's townhouse was the perfect home base. Mario was a great host and though we didn't have a chance to meet him in person he made sure we were set up with everything we needed. The townhouse is in walking distance to a lot of the hot spots on the East side. Super clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended. 
1440830,26271639,2015-02-08,5713862,Julie,"Another great stay!  Mario's place is super cool and in a great location!
He is a fantastic host and I hope to return soon!"
1440830,26613903,2015-02-16,14006226,Anne,"Wonderful place, super close to everything, great communication with Mario, everything was clean and nice and stylish and lovely! I can recommend this place VERY MUCH!"
1440830,26968304,2015-02-22,6759343,Jose,"Loved our stay here! The place was even more beautiful than advertised and Mario was extremely accommodating to our requests. It's a short drive to the city, and it's also right across from one of the coolest bars in town. I definitely recommend it!"
1440830,28285972,2015-03-21,29394796,Alexander,Mario and his place were awesome!! He was very quick to respond if I needed anything and his house is in a great location. Very cool house and it was very clean and nicely appointed when we arrived. Had a great time!! 
1440830,28709263,2015-03-29,23196833,Alex,"Mario is a awesome host and his townhouse has it all. It was extremely clean, uniquely decorated, and a great location. I highly recommend this place if you are trying to have a great Austin experience. "
1440830,28961066,2015-04-01,461947,Nicolae,"Mario's apartment was the perfect place to stay in the heart of East Austin. I didn't actually meet Mario himself, but he made it incredibly easy to access the apartment, and checkout, and both the place itself and the location were great. Mario was great checking in, and I would definitely stay here again!"
1440830,29199303,2015-04-05,3403231,Helen,We had an excellent time staying here - the house is stunning and spotless and in a really fun neighbourhood. Mario was extremely hospitable and helpful... being very accommodating with our flight times...  He made everything completely seamless - thanks Mario!
1440830,29770491,2015-04-12,18607015,Dan,"This was our first airbnb experience and it was great! Mario's place is terrific and in a great location. We were in town for a wedding but managed to take in a bit of the neighborhood, including a stop at the White Horse, a fun two-step place just a stone's throw from the front door. Highly recommended. "
1440830,29947223,2015-04-14,11667169,Chris,"This place is Amazing with a capital ""A."" Walking distance to just about everything good, great food and the place has cool art and nice touches everywhere. I would 100% stay there again. "
1440830,30283794,2015-04-20,5132049,Kevin,Mario's apartment was better than I could have expected. Perfectly located to great new restaurants and bars. It made leaving the apartment difficult. Would recommend to anyone.
1440830,30923425,2015-04-29,4329920,Ryan,"Mario's place in East Austin was awesome.  Last time I was in Austin I barely went to the east side.  This time I had trouble leaving it.  It is very well situated.  The apartment itself is amazing.  Pictures are accurate.  Definitely a cool place, clean and well outfitted.  Mario was very helpful with providing us with everything we needed to know about the place at check-in time and also checked in with us a few days later to see how things were going.  Great host, great location.  Would definitely stay there again."
1440830,31353848,2015-05-04,22671894,Danny,"Nice clean place.  Good Location, private, quiet, close to local bars and restaurants.  "
1440830,31879606,2015-05-11,27932812,Peter,"Mario's house is in the east 6th area of Austin and is the perfect place to stay to be able take advantage of all the super cool bars and food trucks and restaurants that area has to offer.  Most places are literally 2-3 minutes walk away!  We could have spent all our time checking out this area, but if you want to jump over to the south congress, its also just a short cab or uber away.

Mario was the most excellent host! He made us feel extremely welcome, showed us around the area and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay.  His house is very well equipped and also very funky.   Now all we have to do is plan our next trip back!

Highly recommend this place for your next Austin trip."
1440830,33064034,2015-05-25,6544530,Carly,The place was great!! Very clean and it had an awesome personality. The bed is extremely comfortable. The location is very convenient and gives a good feeling for east austin culture. I would definitely stay here again. 
1440830,43681871,2015-08-21,10728700,J.D.,"I had a fantastic time at Mario's.  The home is better than the pictures show it.  I was lucky enough to meet Mario when I showed up. He gave me a complete tour and even told me about some great local places to eat.  His townhome has a lot of hidden features like multi-colored LED lighting and exceptional fine art all over the home.  Fresh towels and linens and plenty of space for my luggage were provided.  Most of all Mario was flexible when my schedule changed at the last minute, he was a great about this.  I would definitely recommend Mario's swanky townhome to anyone I know.  "
1440830,47717380,2015-09-21,14378242,Susan,"What a great host! Mario's townhouse was spacious, clean and had everything you needed. 
Thank you Mario for allowing us to stay at your place! Would definitely recommend this townhouse to anyone traveling to Austin...you won't be disappointed. "
1440830,49030792,2015-09-30,13856124,Mark,"We felt very welcomed  by Mario. Our communication was via text and was very clear. The ad was accurate. Swanky is the word that is used in the ad. Groovy would be my choice. Eccentric decorating and design! We walked everywhere that we wanted to see. The furthest was to South Congress for Allen Boots. We Ubered back from there. We flew down from Seattle for a wedding and a four night stay. Live blues, country, a rockin juke box, open mic and excellent food suggestions by Mario kept us happy and busy."
1440830,50301770,2015-10-11,36094722,Thorsten,Mario was a great host and his apartment is really awesome. My buddy and I stayed in his loft for just over a week and Mario made us feel right at home and provided everything to make this the perfect stay. Would love to visit again!
1440830,51175706,2015-10-18,4436751,Austin,"Mario's place was incredible. Amazing layout and looks even better in person.  It is located in a very cool neighborhood near awesome bars and restaurants, and just a short uber ride away from other popular stops in Austin.

Mario was an awesome host.  He is responsive to any questions, and very helpful if you need recommendations while you're in town.  I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin! "
1440830,51902149,2015-10-25,12159456,Phanzy,"Mario's home is probably the coolest airbnb listing I've ever stayed at.  It's a hip/funky loft on the east side of Austin.  It's located in a very walkable neighborhood close to tons of bars, restaurants and food trucks.  It's also less than a mile walk to the dirty sixth so you can stumble back in a drunken stupor.  I will rent again next time in ATX.

Mario was a gracious host and had open lines of communication.  He was very detailed about things to do and how to get to and in his place.   Mario is what you look for in a host.  Thanks Man!"
1440830,52348913,2015-10-28,1304676,Philip & Vanessa,"My stay at Mario's was great, and I would return in the future. His communication is very responsive. His condo loft is very hip and close to lots of great food and a nice yoga studio. It's across the street from a train stop that goes right into downtown, which I used each day."
6584889,37482585,2015-07-07,33836055,Ohad,"Robert was my first Airbnb experience and it was a great one. 

He's just a phone-call away and he's ready and willing to assist in any issue, but the best thing is - it wasn't needed: 

The place is exactly as you see in the pictures, and I got it clean, neat and organized with a new set of silverware, towels and almost everything else. I had zero issues during my stay. 

The location was perfect for me as I had to go back and forth from Downtown to Uptown; there are a few shopping centers nearby that you can walk to, but Austin has so much to offer that I highly recommend you get a car as I did. 
"
6584889,43857063,2015-08-22,3661533,Liz,"Robert rocks! The house was spotless, well appointed and in an awesome location. In fact, it was so perfect, we rented it again for another week. I had a few questions, totally unrelated to the property, and Robert always responded quickly. What a gem!"
6584889,44847883,2015-08-29,3661533,Liz,Wonderful stay! Robert is awesome. 
6584889,52316551,2015-10-28,10604358,Cara,"The house was super nice and very clean. Robert was great at keeping open lines of communication before, during and after my trip. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
5543526,28111914,2015-03-17,2966701,Bird,"My experience was lovely good nights sleep and got to hang with the wonderful Stephanie, what a lovely helpful laid back host. I would recommend this to anyone. The only slight problem was the location, too far from the city, but otherwise the perfect airbnb! "
5543526,28234451,2015-03-20,21303422,Sierra,"Ms. Stephanie is a great host. She is kind & considerate & her house is gorgeous. She has two dogs that are very sweet & she made me feel welcome. I was late checking in, but she was really nice about it. Only 7 mins away from McKinney Falls state park(which I also recommend you visit). I had a great time while staying there, I would definitely recommend staying here."
5543526,28449211,2015-03-23,4219652,Keshar,"Stephanie is an excellent host. Her house is cozy, clean, and convenient. Her dogs are quiet, clean, and very cool."
5543526,28766583,2015-03-29,29760297,Brent,"Enjoyed my stay at Stephanie's house. The dogs with bandanas were incredibly lovable, the bedroom was clean and well prepared, the neighborhood was quiet and suburban. The only downside is the distance from downtown, which is 20 minutes or so. Thank you for giving me a good night's sleep on the road. :)"
5543526,29872803,2015-04-13,30175261,Michael,"Stephanie was a wonderful host.  She was welcoming, friendly, easy going, and provided a relaxed environment.  I appreciated the preparations to help with the stay; such as key to the room, towels, cleanliness, etc.  I was in Austin for MotoGP and had brought my motorcycle.  Stephanie's driveway was perfect for unloading it from a pickup with ramps.  I am grateful for her hospitality and would stay again."
5543526,30367502,2015-04-20,22114397,Ryan,Nice clean comfortable house. Would definitely stay again or recommend. 
5543526,31278916,2015-05-03,31808703,Terry,"Listing was accurate, and it was a nice and safe feeling home. But I was a bit disappointed in the lack of cleanliness due to the animals. Also the Internet and cable both weren't working right, and since host wasn't present nothing could be done about any of it. And it is not close to downtown. But since I mainly just needed some sleep and a shower, it was alright for a night. "
5543526,31833657,2015-05-10,25129472,Rebecca,"I had a 100% comfortable and delightful time staying with Stephanie. She is kind, down-to-earth and welcoming, keeps a clean and spectacularly decorated home, and her two dogs are absolute sweethearts. She is an inspired (and inspiring) gardener as well! I loved staying there, and the location is great, in a quiet and safe neighborhood very close to McKinney Falls State Park (gorgeous)! I would recommend Stephanie's home to absolutely anyone who lives a green lifestyle and loves to be around warm, kind people."
5543526,32098139,2015-05-13,4372968,Kalina,"My stay at Stephanie's was pleasant as can be, just as described. Her colorful space is full of positive energy. Her home is fifteen minutes' drive away from the the city center, so you'll want a car. I liked the quietness, and the proximity to McKinney Falls. Her white dog is pure sugar. Such a sweetie, I fell in love in no time. Stephanie was a perfect host. "
5543526,32626112,2015-05-19,19477116,Denice Louie,"Stephanie's place was AWESOME. It was honestly a home away from home. The house decor was great, her two dogs were really sweet, and she even left little candies on the pillows when I arrived. The room was clean and she provided towels and the like. I would LOVE to stay at her place again. "
5543526,33530971,2015-05-29,21611241,Stanley,"Stephanie was helpful and friendly, I had a convenient and comfortable stay."
5543526,34448983,2015-06-08,1412829,Jason,"Steph was the perfect host! She gives a set of keys upon arrival and has 2 sweet puppies that are wonderfully behaved. The house is in a new subdivision & it's an easy in/out to the major highways. Plus she's very congenial, so you'll immediately feel at home! "
5543526,34912384,2015-06-13,17085038,Scott,"Stephanie was an awesome host, she greeted me upon arrival with Mins & Romeo, two of the most loving dogs I've met. The room was exactly as described, super comfortable bed."

I had access to the kitchen, washer/dryer and it felt like I was at my own home.  There is a tv in the bedroom and wifi.  Stephanie also doubles as an uber driver, which comes in handy.  If you are looking to stay some place for a couple days (or two weeks in my case) then I highly recommend you stay here."
5543526,37824072,2015-07-10,15499481,Alex,"This was my second time staying at Stephanie's, and like in my previous visit, she made me feel most welcomed.

5543526,43703814,2015-08-21,41334669,Maggie,"I stayed with Stephanie while looking for a house after moving cross country for a job. She was super hospitable and her home and neighborhood were adorable. She was never overbearing or bothersome when I needed to work on my own but she and her brother, who I also met, are really fun to be around and have great taste in both food and tv which they shared with me.  A lovely week!"

The room was great, she had everything ready, and also arranged and found a place for me two days later. Could not ask for a better host, will definitely go back and recommend the place!"
7693198,48920807,2015-09-29,19790873,Carmen,"Katie left us a lovely note and a few treats. Her apartment was super clean, neat, and inviting. She keeps her place very tidy and not to mention very uniquely decorated. We loved the location of her place and it was just the right size. No issues with parking or neighbors. We will absolutely use Katie's place again next time we're in Austin. "
4663369,24392979,2014-12-27,17484457,Jason,"Our experience at the green hill carriage house is hard to put to words. It was perfect in every way, shape and form. It was exactly what me and my friends were looking for. The location was perfect. The bedding worked out perfectly. The scenic green garden and fire place area was the cherry on top.

Sara and her husband were beyond amazing. Sara had stopped at every opportunity to help the whole ordeal. 

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and even better host too!

10/10 loved it! "
4663369,24610479,2014-12-31,8948499,Fabian,"Our stay at the Green Hill Carriage House was fantastic. Sara and Richard were great hosts; very accommodating at the start and then left us with plenty of privacy. The space was clean and really cozy, even with the cold weather outside. 
The local area was very good. Quiet in the immediate neighbourhood with just a few minutes walk to groceries, lovely restaurants, and good bars. 
Can't say enough good things about the apartment and hosts. Well worth staying here, I would do it again!"
4663369,24877865,2015-01-03,17793350,Kevin,"The Green Hill Carriage house was perfect. Sara was welcoming and very accommodating. We traveled with our dog and the convince of a dog park close by was great. Very pet friendly.  Cute, comfortable, and close to everything!"
4663369,25561714,2015-01-19,17265681,Kate,"The carriage house is so wonderful. Perfectly located close to downtown but tucked away in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The most comfortable bed ever invented, a cute little deck for morning coffee, exceptionally clean and well appointed. My friends and I had a fabulous weekend here and look forward to returning in the future!"
4663369,25734102,2015-01-24,270955,Jeremy,"Great place! Very well accommodated, comfortable one bedroom with office. Perfect solution for a business travel or couple that wants a bit more than a standard hotel. $10 uber to downtown. "
4663369,29254041,2015-04-06,12612229,Alex,"We first stayed at the Green Hill Carriage House for a whole summer six years ago. We loved it so much we included a stay in our holiday itinerary this time around! Sara and Richard are excellent hosts - very friendly and accommodating, and extremely flexible in terms of check-in/ out times. The house itself is fantastic - separate from the main house but close enough if you need anything. The location is also amazing - right in the heart of Clarkesville and 8 mins walk from Lamar/ West 6th (Whole Foods Market, Waterloo Records, BookPeople etc). We will definitely be returning! "
4663369,29661214,2015-04-11,26562532,Jane,"We loved our stay at the Green Hill Carriage House. The hosts took care to make sure we had what we needed...like hangers for example..Yet stayed out of our business unless needed.  I.The place is sweet and clean. The neighborhood is lovely  and delightful to walk . We liked the location across town from the scene-scenes in Austin and retreat to this lovely space for quietude...regroup and head out again...perfect!   Our 14 year old daughter  enjoyed the space ,too. "
4663369,30124470,2015-04-18,19755213,Helen,"Sara and Richard were great hosts available to answer questions or provide assistance but gave us plenty of space. The carriage house was really great, set in a lovely garden in a very nice neighbourhood, a relaxing peaceful space after busy days out. The beds comfortable with lovely quality sheets.

If I were to visit Austin again I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! 

"
4663369,31249836,2015-05-03,29086942,Jill,"Richard and Sara were great hosts! Very responsive and welcoming. The Green Hill Carriage House is in a quiet, tree lined neighborhood with other beautiful homes nearby. We enjoyed the privacy and the proximity to several cafes for brunch, downtown Austin, and to the running trails along the river. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
4663369,31669096,2015-05-08,32088555,Mark,"This was my first experience with airbnb and I hope they are all like this. Great location - walked almost everywhere - $5 worth of Uber gets you just about anywhere downtown you need to go. Beautiful neighborhood, gracious hosts whom I never actually met (though my wife met Richard). My only issue is that the location isn't available again until June!"
4663369,35658134,2015-06-21,23717014,Dan,The apartment was exactly as described. It was well furnished and had everything we needed for our short stay in Austin. A+
4663369,37981489,2015-07-12,4966241,Patrick,"Wonderful location, great apt, and spot-on communication. We will return!"
4663369,39171246,2015-07-21,34285951,Heidi,Had a great stay. Awesome location. And the air-con was fantastic!
4663369,39560816,2015-07-24,31213433,Ami,"I stayed at Sara's Green Hill carriage house bc I needed to get away by myself for a few days. I haven't explored Austin much but I knew that I wanted to stay in that neighborhood. I loved the pedestrian neighborhood, proximity to whole foods & running trails. 
when I travel I love to cook for myself rather than go to restaurants. in my busy real life I don't get to cook for fun. And having access to a gas stove again was a treat! I splurged on groceries at whole foods & made yummy meals for myself. The kitchen has basics as far as cookware & tools, but just enough for me to cook at a pretty high level. 
I also was attracted to the property for the wood floors... so I could do yoga... and the study that is off the bedroom: The natural light was lovely & it was such a serene environment to write in my journal & do some work I brought w me. 
some highlights: the bed is huge & comfy. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic!! the little apt is in a little grove of trees & bamboo, so even in the punishing heat of July, it was so cool inside the apt without having to crank up the ac very much. 
I didn't watch the TV or avail myself of the washer & dryer, but it's nice to know they're there. the Internet worked flawlessly... once I figured out that the password is case-sensitive. 
Sara was very accommodating to me, bringing a blender that I asked for bc I'm addicted to protein shakes. 
my trip was far too short & I was sad to have to leave. I'd love to find a way to return."
4663369,42910084,2015-08-16,32597698,Dhara,"My friend and I arrived in the evening, so it was dark in the alley that we were supposed to enter the house from. The owner did not indicate that the front door we were supposed to enter from was upstairs (or that we were staying in the guest house and not the adorable house in the pictures). No lights were left on, so it was kind of a scary experience. Also, there were cats everywhere, my friend is allergic and we had not been informed of this in advance. This home was cozy, but the photos were a little deceiving as the house was much smaller than it appeared in pictures. The occasion for the weekend was a girls reunion, and the house only had one 11X13 mirror in the bathroom-- talk about a tragedy! However, on the positive side, the king sized bed was very comfy and comfortably slept 4 girls, and it was extremely clean. Overall location was great also!"
4663369,43264530,2015-08-18,7019985,Stephenie,"The carriage house was exactly as advertised. Clean, orderly and very easy to have as a home base.  I highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin!"
4663369,44027812,2015-08-23,21215079,Grant,"We had a great time. Great hosts, very friendly, And the place was nice as well."
4663369,44936752,2015-08-30,22208257,Megan,Sara and Richard were very easy to communicate with. The location was perfect for a weekend trip with friends! 
4663369,45507753,2015-09-03,32088555,Mark,"I just wish this place was available more often. I come to Austin 2 to 3 weeks each month and always use airbnb. This place is so quaint and quiet, and the hosts more than responsive. It's an apartment on top of a garage behind a historical building - no neighbors and a $4.00 UBER ride to my favorite spot on 6th street. Too bad they are not available next week or I'd certainly be back."
4663369,46904464,2015-09-14,40309258,Paul,"We never actually met Sara and Richard only because we were so busy with wedding preparations.  We did talk on the phone and Richard made it very clear that he was available if we needed anything.  The house was very sweet, cozy and clean. Because it is an apartment above the garage, you feel a bit like being in a tree house. Small, but just right for our needs. The neighborhood was quiet and well established but again, because of wedding obligations, we did not get to enjoy it as much as we had hoped. Great area for walking. Central location and convenient.  Would definitely recommend as a pleasant stay in Austin."
4663369,48312995,2015-09-25,19253114,Katie,"Neighborhood was terrific, just what we wanted. They were in contact to make sure we had what we needed, knew where to go. Felt totally supported. House was nicely finished out, cute as a button, and very comfortable. "
4663369,48512572,2015-09-27,37888731,Justin,"This was such a charming place, and perfectly located in Clarksville.  Richard and Sara were wonderful hosts.  We'll be staying again next time we are in Austin (if it is available.)"
4663369,51261256,2015-10-19,9092337,Stuart,Richard and Sara were great hosts.  My wife and I were in Austin for our wedding and Richard and Sara were very accommodating towards all of our requests.  
4663369,51665989,2015-10-22,46650351,Bettina,"This was my first Air BnB experience and it was great! The Carriage House is a quaint, quiet, surprisingly spacious place central to downtown Austin and a stone's throw from some of the best restaurants in the region. But perhaps the best part of this place is Richard and Sara. They are charming and helpful. Whenever I texted either of them, I got a response moments later. I met Richard and spent some time chatting with him, and then got a lovely note from Sara saying she looked forward to meeting me next time. I will absolutely come back next time I'm in Austin!"
4663369,52037826,2015-10-26,30374512,Gregory,"Was a very easy, enjoyable experience. We were contacted by the hosts via AirBnB several days in advance of the trip with all necessary information for arrival. Unit was clean and comfortable. All expectations were met."
4663369,52340429,2015-10-28,45487590,Joy,The cottage is really cute and full of charm. It's close to downtown but feels more like a small home town neighborhood. Great place for a couple to stay and enjoy the sights in Austin. 
2832087,38793194,2015-07-18,34699053,Chris,Amazing house in a superb location! Jay provided us with everything we needed for a wonderful 3-night stay in Austin. His house is so adorable that my girlfriend was bummed when we had to leave for Houston and stay in an expensive hotel during the rest of our trip. Almost everything you could possibly want in Austin is within a 10-minute drive. I can't recommend Jay's house highly enough.
2832087,45187288,2015-08-31,21738780,Jessica,The house and location were perfect! Sara was the best and was super responsive when we needed anything! I would highly recommend this place! 
2832087,49111372,2015-10-01,713079,Lane,"Jay (and Vacationcake) were amazing! This apartment was fantastic, and so incredibly well-located. We spent an entire month here, and our experience could not have been better. Jay and his team were helpful, responsive, and extremely thoughtful the entire time. I have stayed in a number of Airbnbs over the years, and this was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Six thumbs up (from all three of us!)"
7513761,49046228,2015-09-30,2861782,Peggy,"I needed a place at the last minute and Yago came through for me. He went out of his way to make arrangements and gave me all the information I needed about the apartment and the area. The apartment is so convenient to campus and all sorts of shops and restaurants if you prefer to travel on foot. Also, if you want to hop on the Shoal Creek Trail it is just across the street. I walked to the lake downtown in about 20 minutes. Great place! "
8697760,51590264,2015-10-21,37124790,Oskar,Christian and Rebecca were good hosts. Very helpful. The house is nice with a great back yard. No problems
8697760,52183383,2015-10-26,26931644,Andrew,"This was an excellent location for our stay in Austin. Everything that we wanted to do was 5-10 minutes away. The neighborhood was exactly as described, quiet, which is what we were looking for. Crisitian was very helpful the whole time and even helped us to retrieve an item that we had left behind. I slept very well on my bed and my body is used to sleeping on a rather high quality mattress, meaning the mattresses are in rather good shape. Unfortunately it was raining the entire trip so I can't speak to the backyard, although it did look very nice. All in all I would definitely recommend staying here if you need a place to crash while you're in Austin, and I would certainly book again if I was in the area."
8590405,51947449,2015-10-25,5636776,Kion,"Great apartment, great location. Thanks!"
6004715,32547774,2015-05-19,7810406,Dillon,"Stacie was a great host. She kept in contact with us leading up to our stay, and was flexible to meet me on a week night after driving in late (between 8:30 and 9) after work. She gave us a quick tour of the property which was the exact same as in the pictures. The duplex is small but very cozy with lots of great furniture to lounge on. My wife and I are fans of tiny living so this location was right up our alley. There is a kitchen with all the essentials and a TV with Netflix and other streaming channels. 

The location is in Austin's SoCo district and within walking distance to many great food trucks and restaurants. The neighborhood is quite, hip, and very walkable. Only complaint is that the street itself is dark at night with no street lamp, but that is completely out of Stacie's control. Still, my wife and I felt very safe in the neighborhood.

My wife and I love to go to Austin for long weekends and will definitely be making this our first place to look when we plan a trip. If you are traveling to Austin and looking for a cozy place in a great neighborhood, this is the place to stay. "
6004715,34707181,2015-06-11,20377651,Moira,"We had a wonderful stay. The location is close enough to the action, but far enough that we felt like we had a lot of privacy and it was quiet. Stacie left us a note describing places to hit up, including restaurants and outdoor activities. Stacie also checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely stay again. Great time, great price and a good location!"
6004715,37468851,2015-07-07,11309692,Nicole,"This place was perfect for our holiday weekend. It was as described and a great location. Stacie was very communicative, nice and helpful.  Would love to stay there next time we're in town!"
6004715,38354184,2015-07-14,10277480,Russell,This is a nice neighborhood in a good location. I had the whole unit to myself so I had lots of privacy. Clean place with everything you would expect. 
6004715,38570729,2015-07-16,14738155,Chris,"Stacie was very quick to respond and made sure that I had everything I needed for my stay. The place was very clean, neat, and had its own original style that fit in very well with Austin and made you feel right at home. The location was also very convenient and nice, being right off S. Congress main strip. Would definitely recommend this place to anybody. "
6004715,40133026,2015-07-28,32631864,Rich,"Stacie was a great host and very prompt at communicating with us via Airbnb message and text.   She greeted us upon arrival and showed us around her place.  It was lovely, clean, and had every convenience we could ever need.  It's in a great location - very close to everything in the SoCo area and just a couple miles from downtown.  I loved the tips Stacie left us on food (like Torchy's Tacos!) and local events in the area ((website hidden)).  We had a great time and look forward to staying with her again the next time we visit Austin."
6004715,40512810,2015-07-31,38194267,Michele,"Great place...we truly enjoyed our stay. SoCo is a fabulous area & close to other neat areas such as Rainey St. Stacie was a wonderful host & gave us some advice on places to shop, eat, etc. would most definitely stay at her place again. My husband & I felt welcome...thanks again."
6004715,40958784,2015-08-03,37718957,Shelli,"Stacie is an awesome host, she was very helpful, and quick to reply to any questions I had. She also provided a great list of places to visit while we were in town. We loved out trip to Austin and this was the perfect location, it's close to tons of popular restaurants and shops. If you are looking for an adorable, affordable place to stay for your trip to Austin, look no further. :)"
6004715,46478871,2015-09-11,12315769,Clara,"This house was a perfect little escape from the September heat in Austin. The location was perfect, close to SoCo but tucked away enough that we could have a bit more of local vibe. Stacie was awesome and replied right away to all our queries. We'd definitely stay here again!"
6004715,47051931,2015-09-15,2722036,Angelo,"Stacie's communication at time of booking and before arrival was excellent. As soon as we arrived at her place, Stacie was already waiting to greet us. She gave a quick tour and tips where to eat and where the locals go. 

The place is exactly as described. Fully equipped kitchen w/ dishes, glasses, etc. Netflix and local TV channels in living room w/ comfy long (website hidden) wall unit was icy cold. The bed was super comfortable that we overslept the 2nd day :)  Location was also convenient, near South Congress strip which had an abundance of good affordable bars, food joints and eclectic shops. The strip is within walking distance but we had rental. Parking at South Congress was pretty easy to find and best part, it was free during our visit. Lyft & Uber to downtown 6th were only around 7 to 8 bucks and its about 10-15 minutes away. There's a park with pool & trail nearby the place about couple of blocks but you can drive about 15 minutes to Barton Springs. Bring swim trunks because you must swim at this gorgeous pool!

This was our first AirBnB experience and glad we stayed at Stacie's pad. Will definitely consider staying here again."
6004715,47743043,2015-09-21,18209201,Jamie,"Stacie communicated all of the information to us quickly and was well organized - we had to change our arrival time and she was very flexible. The place was just as described, within walking distance of plenty of restaurants/shops.  The duplex was perfect for two people, the bed was comfortable, and the place was very cute. Nice little kitchen and good coffee. Also, Clean! Thank you!"
6004715,48556602,2015-09-27,42404887,Kendra,"Stacie was a wonderful host. She was very friendly and responded to all of my messages promptly. As soon as our plane landed, she met us at the rental to give us the keys and to show us around the place. The duplex was just as pictured and was absolutely perfect for my husband and me. It was in a quiet and safe neighborhood, but was still close enough to the action on South Congress. The place was clean and the bed was super-comfortable, which we really appreciated after a couple long days of sightseeing. Stacie left a few necessities, such as coffee, sunscreen and bug spray. I was very happy to find a bottle of cortisone cream in the bathroom after I got a few really itchy mosquito bites! She also left a list of restaurants and a few attractions to check out. We had a rental car, but because the location was so great, we were able to walk almost everywhere. There was also free available parking on South Congress. We did take Uber downtown a few times and they always arrived to pick us up at the duplex in around 3 minutes (cost is around $7 and it's about a 12-minute ride). We spent some time checking out all of the unique shops on South Congress which was fun. We were also able to catch a show at Austin City Limits Live, which was absolutely amazing! Barton Springs Pool was gorgeous, as was the State Capitol. We visited the LBJ Presidential Library on our last day, which was very educational and interesting. Food wise, we can definitely recommend Torchy's Tacos (be sure to check out their secret menu), Magnolia Cafe (open 24 hours), Home Slice (awesome pizza!) and Gourdough's (really good donuts with all kinds of yummy dessert toppings). Stacie told us, ""You could eat your way through Austin"" and she wasn't joking! There are food trucks and restaurants everywhere! We can also recommend checking out the Continental Club (about a mile walk from the rental). They had great live music every night and the drinks were reasonably priced. Next time we visit Austin we will definitely try to stay at Stacie's place again! "
6004715,49047596,2015-09-30,19233393,Kev,"Had a great time in Austin and Stacie's place was perfect: really handy for shops, bars, clubs and Downtown. The apartment was clean, simple and well-equipped - a great base to explore from and a nice place to come back to at the end of the day. Recommended!"
6004715,49785864,2015-10-06,12487690,Heather,Stacie was an awesome host! Reached out to us before our stay to give us all the info. Great location in Austin too!
6004715,50447613,2015-10-12,16398154,Jennifer,Stacie was very accessible and easy to communicate with when needed. Her place was very clean and comfortable. Her listing is accurate with all amenities listed. Great location- loved being within walking distance from South Congress. Very quiet street. Outdoor patio was a big plus! Would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend staying here."

We were able to walk to many places we wanted to go, but it was also really nice to be able to park our rental car in the driveway. We didn't get to meet Stacie, but she was very responsive and helpful via text message. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Stacie!"
6004715,52100024,2015-10-26,24446625,Jay,"Stacie responded really quickly to my messages and was so flexible when it came to check in/out timings. She made us feel very welcome and left handy notes with recommendations. Her apartment is lovely and homely with everything you need - comfy bed; good shower; well 
-equipped kitchen and cute living area. It's round the corner from South Congress Avenue - a great part of town for eating/drinking/shopping. It's a cheap Uber ride away from the other cool parts of town and the airport. Would highly recommend staying here! "
4226176,32439674,2015-05-17,12743022,Steve,"This was my second stay through airbnb and I found this apartment to be as comfortable and inviting as the pictures and description. 
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the apartment and appreciated the flexibility and responsiveness of the host. 
The apartment was spacious, clean, well furnished and centrally located. 
It was easy to communicate with Alex before and during our stay. I appreciated her flexibility in coordinating our arrival time since I had to revise that multiple times. I would definitely stay here again when I return to Austin. "

5454366,28220250,2015-03-20,28517978,J.T.,"Listing was accurate.  The condo is clean and attractive, and Jason met me at the arranged time to let me in.  The unit is about a 7-10 minute drive to downtown, with plenty of Uber & Lyft drivers in the neighborhood for pickups.  There is a Walgreens right next to the unit, which was convenient for picking up snacks and toiletries I forgot."

His apartment was in walking distance of 6th street, and many other downtown attractions. We had access to all of the the amenities his apartment had to offer! Dan's roommates were friendly, and they were very helpful in suggesting good food in the area. I would love the chance to stay here on my next visit to Austin!"

Quiet, cool, clean, good neighbors, coffee shop, grocery and restaurants are all within 5 minute walk. Really.

We rented bikes and used Uber/Lyft to get around. It was 2.5 miles from the convention center. Austin has hills, so bikes may not work for everyone! ;)

"
4065037,28768483,2015-03-29,370878,Shelly,"We stayed in Unit C behind the main house and loved it! It was incredibly clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. It's in a great location to walk to several of Clarksville's restaurants, and there are also a few necessities like a grocery store within a few blocks. 

Stephanie was easy to get in touch with and very responsive when we needed her. Thanks for a great stay! "

The apartment is very airy, light and open and has all the necessities and more--washer/dryer, a large open patio, and a bed that slept well.  The space has fast internet that alowed us to stream movies easily.  We wanted to stay longer, but somone else beat us to the punch. :("

He seems nice at the start, the place was uncomfortable and had no furnishings, just some half empty  beers and paper plates, mold in the fridge.

It wasn't a big deal, my fourth night there I woke up to pounding on the door. I assumed it ws the police( it was 730am)

There was someone who was In a robe with underwear, sweating and acting like they were on drugs. They kept saying how loud it was and how bad they wanted to "" mess up"" the normal renter there. 

I talked him down and he went on for a five minute rant in which I couldn't understand much as he ws clearly "" high as a kite man"" he actually said this when I asked what the heck is problem was.

Well I am a descent size male but if I wasn't I think it would have went much differently. Thank god I don't have a child staying here or a young lady. Unsafe to say the least.

In his lease it clearly states that you aren't aloud to sublet in the complex, a couple people knew I didn't live there full time, gave me a rough time half jokingly, but didn't cause a disturbance and they let it go. Had they complained i would have been asked to
Leave right away. Which they were clear to tell me.

Because of this situation I ended up leaving 3 nights early and didn't ask for a refund as I paid a week in full( I am pretty easy going) I put the key under the right sofa and let armin know I was checking out. Well the next day he called air bnb and said I wouldn't tell him where his key was.( I was still two and a half days early while being paid  in full) I was upset with him at this point especially for all I had to deal with)  I didn't even get a Call or  text to ask, air bnb called and yes I was furious to say the least. They were very helpful and when they told me to try reach out to armin, he refused to speak to me and said to "" deal with them or I'll leave a bad review and possibly call the police"" WOW THANKS ARMIN FOR PUTTING UP WITH YOUR NAKED PLACE YOU TOUTED TO BE THE HILTON, and the addicts wanting to fight you AND CHECKING OUT EARLY WITH NO REUQEST OF A REFUND! 

Place is awful but armin makes it hard to put into words just how bad of a host he truly is."
7226898,39349835,2015-07-22,38779064,Tammy,Amin's apartment was clean and he was very courteous. 
7226898,40505542,2015-07-31,33498336,James,"Overall it was a great experience staying at this property. My host meeted me not too far away to hand off the key and gate fob. The grounds are really nice. Feels like you are in a wooded reserve. There are lots of little walking paths through groves all over the property. 
The property itself was very clean, though very sparse. For example, there was no kitchen/dining table or chairs, just the sofa and small end tables in the pictures. That was a bit of a surprise. Also, there were no patio chairs, which was a shame as the unit has a really great patio. I'm a cook so I ended up getting a couple of pots and pans once our Host let us know there were not any in the unit. 
Still, for the price per day, it is really hard to beat this unit and its location. Would definitely stay there again when I am in that area of Austin."
7226898,41124124,2015-08-04,37908253,Victoria,"Amin was very kind and receptive with messages. He checked in to make sure we were okay during our stay. The apartment complex is quite nice and in a quiet area. I made some suggestions to Amin since he has such a great terrace to put some chairs out. There is a comfortable couch and bed, but no table or chairs, so be aware it's not fully furnished. The apartment gets a lot of light which I really like and the wifi is fast. We barely cooked since Austin has so many great places for food, but if you are interested in cooking a lot here the cookware is limited. 
"
7226898,47219160,2015-09-16,41716948,Caleb,"Amin was laid back and accommodating.
The place was comfortable and perfect for what I needed.
No complaints here.
The entire process felt smooth"
7226898,49282681,2015-10-02,7185009,Corey,Amin was a fantastic host. He provided everything I need and i would stay there again in a heart beat!
7226898,50544256,2015-10-12,37676001,Montserrat,"Amin is really nice, from the moment we got there until the last day. He managed to get an extra bed for the 3 of us , we had water bottles on the bedrooms (nice detail), everything was clean, quiet (in the good way) and caring. We would definately come back to austin :)"
7226898,51856243,2015-10-24,15834420,Joshua,"A great house on a quiet street with a cool park right in front. Amin was super nice. We were in touch before I got there, and he made sure to be home to let me in and give me the key. I felt right at home. Amin was really welcoming. He even offered to drive me to work for the few days that I was there as it was on his way. I would definitely stay here again. 

"
7226898,52192048,2015-10-26,14363663,Mark,"Amin, was an amazing host.  He was very helpful.  He lives in a very nice neighborhood close to restaurants and shopping.  Back yard has a nice patio and across the road is a great park with walking paths.  "
2202790,10648033,2014-03-01,12390752,Helen,"This was a most wonderful introduction to the world of Bed and Breakfast travelling !  I couldn't have asked for a more welcoming and friendly hostess than Rachel!  She and her family went out of thier way to make sure I was taken care of, and the use of the bike is a great perk!   I would recommend this comfortable suite in a quiet neighborhood without hesitation.  "
2202790,11017804,2014-03-17,9878316,Racha,"Rachel is a thoughtful and mindful host. It was great to be able to take a walk in nature which is right out the back door, allowing for a break from work yet still be close enough to downtown Austin, making for an easy commute.  I would happily stay here again on my next trip to Austin. "
2202790,11143515,2014-03-22,13278584,Wade,"Rachel and her boyfriend were the consummate hosts.  Both very friendly and welcoming while giving me my privacy at the same time.  I loved the space even more so that it is literally a finished out basement.  I felt free to come and go as I pleased without disturbing thier family or intruding upon them.  The bed was big and comfy as well as the couch.  The TV was huge with Roku.  Everything was clean.  The backyard is beautifully wooded. Brownie and Biscuit were awesome playful and well behaved.  I hope to be able to stay again.

Wade"
2202790,11857940,2014-04-17,1823088,Gregory,"Fantastic modern private apartment !, essentially you're getting a furnished one bedroom with an attached living room.
 Spotlessly clean, quiet and in a very safe and secure area in Austin.
Minutes away from downtown and all the attractions. The hosts are intelligent caring professional people who I cannot recommend enough, this is a super choice for anyone."
2202790,12263974,2014-04-27,3644932,Thomas & Carol,"Rachel is a perfectly warm and accommodating host. She responded promptly to all of our requests. We were included in a family dinner and assisted in our search for a long term rental. The unit faces a lovely wooded backyard and has its own stone patio. It is a large, bright, private space, lacking only a stove to be called a one bedroom apartment. The bed was extremely comfortable.

The neighborhood is quiet, yet very close to Austin's first, new Trader Joe's, other groceries, and a large shopping mall. 

Thank you for a great start to our first visit to Austin!
Thomas & Carol
"
2202790,12444754,2014-05-02,3644932,Thomas & Carol,"We extended our stay in Rachel's lovely home. She was very easy to work. It felt like staying with a friend! We highly recommend  her to everyone.
Sincerely,
Thomas and Carol"
2202790,18858492,2014-09-01,20608645,Katie,"The unit was amazing. It was very clean, comfy, and well stocked. I will definitely be looking here first next time I come to Austin."
2202790,19661462,2014-09-15,21219757,Cassidy,"The unit was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. Private, quiet, clean, comfortable and had a great view of the garden. Our trip was very last minute and Rachel was able to quickly accept the offer and have the unit ready. We will stay here when in Austin again."
2202790,21202712,2014-10-13,19729502,Ian,"We had a great stay in Rachel's walk-out basement.  It's in a great neighborhood, close to shopping and dining.  The basement is nicely appointed, has both a separate bedroom and sitting room, and a private entrance.  It also looks out on a lovely garden.  Rachel went out of her way to make our stay pleasant, offering the use of bicycles and much more.  We really felt at home and would definitely stay again."
2202790,22123252,2014-10-30,5330938,Geoff,"Rachel was fantastic. She had all the important items ready for me upon arrival, linens/towels, wifi passcode, instructions how to use the appliances/electricals. Didn't have to worry about a thing! She also offered her laundry room which was so nice of her...and even offered to do it for me! Such a great 1 bedroom apartment in an awesome location with private guest access. Thanks Rachel!"
2202790,25637100,2015-01-21,22526928,Emilie,"The view is a beautiful. 
Rachel is kind and responsive. 
The way down to the rooms is steep, and there is no central HVAC, but the view and the patio compensate for the drawbacks."
2202790,26700671,2015-02-17,56533,Roxanne,"This is a very nice place. You get a lot ""bang got your buck"". The unit is huge and has every thing you need. The hostess, Rachel is extremely accommodating and friendly, while giving you privacy. The pictures of the back yard don't really do it justice. Great location! Oh, by the way - the sheets and towels are very nice! Highly recommended!"
2202790,27407998,2015-03-03,56533,Roxanne,"This was my second time to stay here. I really like staying here. The unit itself is very nice. The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars as far as accuracy of the pictures to the actual place is because I think it is much nicer than the pictures convey. Rachel's pleasant helpful attitude made my stay perfect.
The location is Great! Unless the traffic is bad, their home seems to be ten to twenty minutes away from everything I've wanted to do in Austin. I highly recommend."
2202790,27701334,2015-03-09,23673552,Rose,"Great place, great neighborhood and wonderful hosts!  I would recommend this person/place.  It is roomy, and well-appointed.  Close to most Austin locations.  Easy to find.  Clean, cared for and quiet.  The bed is comfortable

Rachel greeted us as we arrived, and answered any questions we had quickly.   Upon departure, we were allowed to take our time and were not rushed out.

Thank you, Rachel, for your hospitality."
2202790,28162265,2015-03-19,4961391,Grant,"Rachel's studio apartment is a fantastic place to stay if you are visiting Austin. It's conveniently located near downtown, but situated in a quiet residential neighborhood with a fantastic view in the backyard. I especially liked sitting on the private patio and drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. It was a relaxing place to stay.

Rachel was very accommodating and the description of listing was accurate. I would highly recommend staying here."
2202790,31303710,2015-05-04,14418134,Jim,The reservation was canceled 46 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2202790,32489980,2015-05-19,22687575,Al,Rachel is a great host!!!  We were there for 8 weeks....she made us feel welcome and periodically checked on us.  The king size bed was comfy....cable TV with DVR and a nice size TV......We'll be back!!!
1712042,8423667,2013-10-29,801692,Regina,"Tim & Audrey's place in Austin is absolutely stunning! I can't say enough great things! In case you don't want to read the whole review, though, here it is in a nutshell: the bed is extremely comfortable, the layout is super cool & modern (feels like you're in a show room, but comfortable), it's immaculately clean, super quiet (didn't even notice the train), it has an incredible shower, and it's literally right in the middle of all of the cool Austin bars! This is by far the biggest value I've found on airbnb so far - it was like staying in a fancy design-focused boutique hotel, but without the fancy boutique price - definitely a hidden gem!!! In fact, the price was so good, and the pictures were so great, that I was a little bit weary that it was a scam at first, but their place is just as amazing as it looks in the pictures, if not better! 

Furthermore, Tim is one of the nicest, and most helpful hosts. He replied to my initial inquiry within 10 minutes, and was instantly responsive from there on out. I was in a bit of a bind, looking for a place last minute, and even though he and Audrey live on the East Coast, Tim made arrangements for me to pick up the keys and get in within hours of my initial inquiry. He also sent me a very helpful welcome email with a PDF of everything I needed to know about staying there.

I was in Austin helping out with a wedding, and this couldn't have been a more perfect experience. If I ever return, this is hands down where I will stay! Thank you, Tim & Audrey!!! 
"
1712042,8587927,2013-11-06,154036,Andrea,"A great apartment, in the best part of town.  One block away from a former MasterChef' winner''s new restaurant, just over the road from a friendly two step bar, less than 5 mins from some of the best coffee in Austin. Walk to Downtown in 10mins, or pick up a bus 2 blocks away.  Better still just walk down 6th East street (50 yards away) and try some of the restaurants and bars on the hippest road in town. Who could ask for more?

Tim and Audrey were great hosts, couldn't be more accommodating and responded quickly to all enquiries.  Austin is just a great city - I'll be back."
1712042,8928484,2013-11-26,9184849,Ralf,"Wonderful, spacy appartment at ideal location in east Austin downtown. Clean, well-equipped and beautiful. We had a great time there and no problems whatsoever. Tim & Audrey have been welcoming and friendly, they responded quickly and organised everything smoothly."
1712042,9031334,2013-12-02,9873296,Rachel,"Great place to stay in Austin! Very comfortable loft with everything you need. The hosts were great, easy to get a hold of with any questions and everything went very smoothly. 
We had two adults and three kids and with the pull out upstairs and the blow up bed, there was enough room for everyone. Everything was clean and tidy and very comfortable. A great place to stay!"
1712042,9521715,2014-01-01,4399506,Keely,"Tim and Audrey's place is amazing! There couldn't be a more comfortable and chic place to stay while in Austin. The convenient location was great, I loved being within walking distance to great restaurants and coffee shops on the East side. Also, Tim and Audrey are so nice and helpful with everything, they couldn't have been a more accommodating host. The place looks exactly like the pics, and gets amazing natural light--also, the couch and beds are very comfortable. Overall I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Austin, it was perfect! Thanks to airbnb and Tim and Audrey for everything! "
1712042,10953045,2014-03-15,1402765,Anjali,"Tim and Audrey's loft in Austin is a great place to stay in the city! I had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The loft itself is bright, decorated in a very modern way and with great furnishings. The pictures on Airbnb are very accurate. The location is really handy - I took only 10 minutes to walk to the Austin Convention Center during SXSW. There's also the Metro right in front of the house if you want to go uptown. Tim and Audrey were extremely responsive with all my queries as I was preparing for my trip and also while I was there. They took less than a couple of hours to reply to emails, keeping in mind they are on the East Coast. Audrey ordered some extra supplies for me the day I reached - a new shower curtain and handwash, even without me asking for it. A very nice touch. There were clear directions and instructions for things in the house in a neat file, also sent to me before my trip.

The White Horse bar is right across the road and a great place to get some drinks, as is the Scoot Inn which is round the corner. 

All in all, I highly recommend a stay at this loft while in Austin. Thank you, Audrey and Tim, for being great hosts!"
1712042,12058466,2014-04-22,9184849,Ralf,"We were using the place for the second time as a home base for working in the Austin area - and it was just perfect: Clean, beautiful, easily accessable from the airport, and situated in a great location near downtown and the lake. Everything worked well and we had a great time. We would like to come back again!"
1712042,12282817,2014-04-28,13055895,Reese,"What a fantastic loft and location! I and 2 colleagues stayed at Tim and Audrey's loft for a conference at the conference center. It was very reasonable and close to the city. I would gladly stay here again!
Thanks Guys!  "
1712042,12571174,2014-05-05,2520799,Robert,"Tim and Audrey's place is fantastic. We only had 3 people but you could easily and comfortably sleep 5. Amenities were great and pictures are as advertised. Location is also very nice. A short stroll to E 5th bars, food trailer lots, and coffee shops. Tim & Audrey were also very communicative and helpful. They include a 5 page manual that addresses just about every question or problem you may run into. I highly recommend their place to anyone looking for a good time in Austin at a very reasonable price."
1712042,12930423,2014-05-14,1102461,Catharine,"don't think we could've picked a better spot for our stay in Austin! There is so much to do right outside the building. The farmers market on Sunday at Playa Saltillo station was awesome!The apartment was immaculate upon check-in. Oh, check-in was a breeze and Tim and Audrey left everything we needed to have a great stay. The parking spot was a huge bonus and turned out to be really convenient. I would absolutely stay here again for my next trip to Austin. Highly recommended. Thanks guys!!"
1712042,13675877,2014-06-02,6076213,Kate,"My friends and I had an amazing time staying at the loft! As a group of young art/food/music enthusiasts, it was the perfect location. We could walk right out the door to a really cool nightlife and music scene as well as tons of unique food trucks. It was a convenient drive to all of the other neighborhoods and we really got to experience everything Austin has to offer. 

As far as the place itself, it was VERY clean and well put together. It was basically like staying in a giant luxury hotel suite, but with a great relaxed neighborhood feel. We will definitely be back!!"
1712042,14041690,2014-06-10,9184849,Ralf,We had - again - a wonderful time at the loft. We were working in Austin for the third time and everything was just perfect.
1712042,20986732,2014-10-09,16873011,Anna,"Audrey and Tim were great! Their place was exactly as advertised: a hip, sunny loft at a chic East Austin address (near some awesome bars and food trucks and a short walk from downtown). We didn't want to leave! They provided detailed instructions and were responsive to texts."
1712042,21332361,2014-10-15,14948340,Katherine,Audrey was very responsive when we had questions before and after arrival   The house was beautiful and clean and couldn't be in a better spot. The train was right there but ran kinda infrequently so we usually just took a cab but because of the pretty central location cabs were never very much money. It was also possible to walk to most things if you had the time. The white horse right across the street with the taco truck was also a nice plus to the location. We didn't have to go far if we didn't want to. Overall a wonderful stay. Would come back for sure! 
1712042,22410477,2014-11-05,1508289,Susan,"Tim & Audrey's house is stunning: well-designed, thoughtfully furnished and nicely located near great bars, cafes and restaurants. Oh, and it's an easy stroll to all the major sights and activities in Austin. In short: why stay anywhere else?!"
1712042,22983404,2014-11-19,2948149,Anna,We had a great stay in the loft. It was clean and cozy. Too small for 5 women but we made it work.
1712042,23442871,2014-12-01,5617585,Claire,"Tim and Audrey's place is beautiful!  We had a great stay here over Thanksgiving and everything about the booking process, liaison with Audrey and the house was easy as pie!  The location is fantastic and you're within a short walking distance of loads of good bars and restaurants, and about 15 mins walk from west 6th St.  Girls - you might want to take a hair dryer as we couldn't find one.  It's a bit of a squeeze for 5 too, and bear in mind it's very open plan, but as long as you're all friends that shouldn't be a problem :)  Overall, great place to stay and would highly recommend! "
1712042,23974035,2014-12-15,6100897,Jeff,"This place is excellent and as advertised.  Very stylish, lots of space (we were two people, using the two upstairs bed spaces), and all the amenities.  Especially for someone ready to try out Austin's food truck revolution, there's a ton of stuff to do nearby, and while the White Horse bar just down the block is a noisy thumping party most nights, the listing is right: the apartment itself is nice and quiet, even with the train tracks passing by outside. I'd definitely stay here again."
1712042,24536682,2014-12-30,10079899,Susan,"This is a fantastic location, walking distance to many of Austin's hot spots on the East side. Brew & Brew, the best coffee and beer in Austin, just a couple of blocks away. The apartment is better then advertised, modern, clean with additional amenities. Tim and Audrey were very quick to respond whenever I tried to contact them. We had a wonderful stay!"
1712042,25025225,2015-01-05,23230205,Lee,"My friends and I had a great time at this loft. It was the perfect size for the 4 of us and was conveniently location to everything.. 6th St., Rainey St., Congress, etc. we will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Austin!"
1712042,26225791,2015-02-07,26812760,Stephen,"Great spot, super great location and if you love the Eastside you simply can't beat the proximity to all the fun that E 6th & 7th has to offer!  Much bigger then I thought and really tastefully decorated, clean and has every amenity you can ask for!   Excited to stay again soon!!"
1712042,26733068,2015-02-18,24365607,Mike,"Tim and Audrey's loft is a great ""home base"" while spending time in Austin.  Clean, modern, spacious and fun, there's plenty of room to spread out in this space.  Located in a quiet building in a hyper-trendy end of town, you're a 5 minute walk from loads of great food trucks and bars, and a 5 minute (at most) drive from downtown, South Congress, Zilker Park and pretty much anywhere else you could end up in Austin proper.  

What's not to love?  There's plenty of standard cooking gear if you don't feel like making the short walk to great food, a private (and gated) parking spot right outside your door, a largish dining area, two ""hang out"" spots (on separate levels), a bathroom on each floor, and a comfortable bed in a cozy bedroom.

We had no issues with our stay and never had to contact Tim & Audrey, but the accommodation instructions were thorough and well thought-out.

We'll be back the next time we're in Austin!!  "
1712042,27064890,2015-02-24,4886035,Carlo,"Fantastic loft in an amazing location! Check-in was easy and the place was spotless upon arrival. My gf and I found the bed super-comfortable while my buddy had no complaints about the pullout bed down the hall. Overall, the loft is beautifully designed and decorated and, in my opinion, looks even better in person than the photos.  And you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot location-wise. I might be partial to the East Side scene but there are plenty of great bars and restaurants/food trucks within a short walk (The White Horse and Sunday market are literally across the street) while everywhere else you'd want to be in Austin is a short drive (or long walk away). We utilized the convenient parking spot but the Playa Saltillo station is right out front if public transport is more your steez. No need to worry about train noise either as the Austin metro trains are so quiet you pretty much have to see them to know they're passing.

We'd stay here again. Highly recommended!"
1712042,27988086,2015-03-16,116499,Allyson,Steve and Audrey are amazing hosts. They were extremely communicative and accommodating. The loft is super nice. Furnishings are tasteful. The master bed was also very comfortable. 
1712042,28459749,2015-03-24,3168237,Rebecca,"Tim and Audrey's place in Austin is a beautiful modern apartment with great charm. It's in a perfect location, only a short walk to downtown with delicious food trucks along the way. It provided a wonderful respite from the craziness that is SXSW. Audrey was available for anything we may have needed and confirmation and arrival was very easy as a result. 
The apartment is probably more suited to couples rather than the 3 of us that stayed there as there is limited privacy with the open plan design. However I would happily stay in the apartment again even with 3 people as it was such a nice place to stay in. 
Thanks again Tim and Audrey for your hospitality and the use of your lovely home for the week."
1712042,28981553,2015-04-02,25477507,Sophie,My experience at Tom and Audrey's was fantastic. The location is excellent it's only a short walk to 5th street with excellent bars and restaurants and it's across the road from White horse a cool little bar with excellent tacos. The place itself was super clean and super comfy. Defs a must! 
1712042,29541866,2015-04-09,8802408,Barbara,"The condo is very clean and beautiful and the beds very comfortable.  The hosts provided a very complete set of helpful instructions.  We enjoyed the location.  We rented bikes (the rental place is a block away) and great bike paths along the river are close by.  The music venue nearby was fun, although loud at times (which was no problem as closing the windows solved that).  We had some trouble checking ourselves in as there was confusion as to the lock box combination, the coffeemaker was broken, and the lack of doors on the bedrooms was a little uncomfortable for our group, but overall the place was well-appointed and we loved our stay.  We would be happy to recommend it to others."
1712042,29919150,2015-04-14,10800822,Sarah,The house is in a great location and my friends and I had a wonderful time here. The instructions were quite easy and Tim and Audrey were great about giving helpful hints. 
1712042,31095341,2015-05-02,24826809,Allison,"Staying at Tim & Audrey's was fantastic. This was our first time in Austin, and they provided us with great pre-arrival information to make our stay easy. The apartment was spotless and fit 3 of us very comfortably. We loved the East Austin neighborhood - there were great bars and restaurants a short walk away, as well as an excellent coffee shop.  The apartment is also only a 5-10 minute walk to downtown Austin. We would highly recommend to anyone that they stay here!"
1712042,31949435,2015-05-12,17741452,Sam,"Very cute, extremely central location, comfy and walkable! Buses and trains right out the front door too. Well equipped kitchen and spacious bathroom. We had a great stay. Only drawback is a lack of privacy with no doors on the two sleeping areas, which wasn't a huge issue with our group but is worth knowing about before renting the flat. Would rent again!"
1712042,33370878,2015-05-27,30489547,Meredith,"Tim and Audrey have a beautiful home. Both chic and cozy, we felt both lucky and welcome to stay in such a nice place. We had the unfortunate timing of being cooped up one evening up during unprecedented  flash flooding and never once did their two floor space  feel cramped.

In addition, they were very accommodating when we had a last minute addition to our trip."
1712042,37676294,2015-07-09,35302236,Aj,"We had a lovely stay. This is a great location, especially if you don't love driving everywhere. When we did need to drive, we found the place to be central to all that we did. The unit is well maintained. There are just loads of cool/delightful restaurants nearby on foot. Great communicators all around. Model Airbnb hosts! We will definitely stay here again. "
1712042,39499211,2015-07-24,24075042,Andrew,The host canceled this reservation 69 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1712042,49215969,2015-10-02,2227467,Agnies,"We had a wonderful long-term stay at Tim and Audrey's while doing renovations on our condo.  The space is great-- sunny and spacious, super comfortable, and the location cannot be beat.  Tim was very responsive and helpful with all our questions and was super accommodating when we needed to extend our stay.

Thanks so much!"
1712042,50746021,2015-10-14,38299403,Del,Our time in Austin was great. The condo we stayed was in prime location to what we wanted to see. It had a great layout for all 4 of us. I would recommend staying here on your next trip.
1712042,52204060,2015-10-27,26516403,Adam,"Great place. Before arriving hosts were very helpful and made for a pleasent booking experience. 

After arriving and spending time in the place we only have good things to say about it. Everything you could need is provided. Good location with downtown within walking distance, or if your feeling jaded, the train stop outside.

Highly recommend."
2227725,28185836,2015-03-19,80921,Christian,Fantastic place and host. Everything that you need. Ample amenities.
2227725,28454506,2015-03-23,15518457,Susan,Rebecca's place was absolutely amazing! It was so clean and nicely decorated! Better than any hotel we could've stayed at. We were so happy we chose to stay here. Check in/out process was very smooth. We weren't able to meet Rebecca in person but she was very good at communicating with us throughout our stay. Will definitely stay again when I visit Austin! I would recommend anyone to stay as well. Thanks Rebecca! 
2227725,29853271,2015-04-13,29484502,Eli,Our stay at Rebecca's was great! Her home is very clean and very well decorated.  The location is good and close to a variety of restaurants within a walking distance. I would definitely stay here again. Rebecca is a great host and always responded to any questions I had. Overall our stay was awesome!
2227725,30828707,2015-04-27,17654962,Adrian,"Though Rebecca was unable to meet us at the home, she gave us clear instructions on how to enter the property/ she also stayed in contact with us via text, to make sure we were finding everything ok in the home. Her home is just like the photos and is located just minutes from downtown Austin. There are restaurants and bars just within walking distance. We had 4 people total stay at the home and we were all very pleased with our stay. I would stay here again and again on future trips to Austin. "
2227725,33116994,2015-05-25,29827336,Bev,"Rebecca was unable to meet us, however left very explicit and easy directions to access her home.  The property was exactly as described in the listing, very clean,  and with some added amenities. The neighborhood was within 2 miles of the downtown area. Rebecca left some recommendations of restaurants in the neighborhood which we went to, and all were great. We also discovered Witchcraft beer store within 2 blocks with tons of craft beers and a very knowledge sales guy.  We had a great experience, and would recommend staying here."
2227725,36967665,2015-07-03,4705910,Nicole,"We had a great stay at Rebecca’s condo. The condo is clean, modern, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable, with more than ample amenities.  We felt right at home.  It’s even better than the pictures and description!  The location is ideal.  It’s very close to numerous new and trendy restaurants and shops on South Lamar, with easy access to downtown, South Congress and South First.  Our daughter loved it -- we could walk to Zilker and the hike/bike trail, as well as the Zilker Elementary School playground, the library, and a splash pad.  It’s surprisingly quiet and private, despite the location and proximity to Lamar.  Rebecca was a fantastic host.  She gets it.  She was very responsive both before we booked and during our stay.  She responded to questions/texts immediately and made sure we were very comfortable.  We would definitely stay at the condo again and can’t say enough good things about it.   "
2227725,37387329,2015-07-06,10590382,Stephen,Rebecca's home was perfect for my fiancée and I and two of my friends. Everything was close. The property was very clean. She was not able to meet us before staying there but the process to check in was seamless. I would definitely recommend staying at her airbnb property again.
2227725,38278440,2015-07-14,33816101,Deborah,"My stay at Rebecca's place was marvelous! We met at arrival, she's very friendly & accommodating. Very comfortable & well furnished & supplied townhouse. She gave some recommendations for walking distance restaurants, & we weren't disappointed w/ any (Olivia, Odd Duck, ABGB). "
2227725,38797013,2015-07-18,38472017,Tauseef,"Rebecca was a wonderful host, she accommodated us on very short notice. The house was just as described, beautiful and very clean. We had a wonderful stay. Would definitely go back and stay again and recommend to friends."
2227725,39086362,2015-07-20,7116758,Kayne,"We had a fantastic time in Austin. The house had ample parking for 3 cars, comfortable beds, and a great location. It's also just a very nice building and looks good inside as well. I'd be happy to stay here again. "
2227725,39975382,2015-07-27,29041431,Brandon,We were more than satisfied with our stay at this townhouse. Rebecca had everything ready for us and was very accommodating. The townhouse is centrally located around various restaurants and within 10 min. to downtown Austin and 5 min. from the activities along S Congress. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Austin. 
2227725,40667670,2015-08-01,38089386,Marci,"
Great condo for our weeks work trip – Rebecca ensured that the house was ready and waiting our arrival, it was well equipped for us to enjoy any time we spent at the house, it was centrally located and near some great eating spots that we walked to, there was plenty of off-street parking (we had three cars parked one evening) – highly recommend it and suffice to say we will be back if we need another week’s accommodation in central Austin!
"
2227725,40981809,2015-08-03,38602881,Courtney,Rebecca's place felt just like home as we stepped in the front door. Everything was as described and we were all impressed with the features of her home. There was more than enough space for four of us. Rebecca made it easy for us to check in and check out. She made sure to check in with us to be sure everything was going well and we had what we needed. I would definitely come back and stay at her place again!
2227725,41628441,2015-08-08,15718066,Sheedsa,"Perfect location close to all the action and cool restaurants? check

2227725,45112196,2015-08-31,35588061,Ashish,"She is absolutely a wonderful person.  She was very responsive, anytime I had a question she would reply back with reference in few mins.  House was clean as expected and I would love to stay their again, once back in town."

2227725,47574290,2015-09-20,15589368,Zachary,"Rebecca was an excellent host. Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way possible. The home was gorgeous, and the neighborhood is excellent. We are eager to stay here again in the future. By far the nicest place we have utilized in Austin as far as Airbnb is concerned. She was hospitable, helpful, and friendly."
2227725,48075335,2015-09-23,10238058,Scott,Rebecca's place was awesome.  Outstanding location and provided the perfect place for us on our our stay.  Rebecca was excellent in communicating with us and gave us spot on instructions when we arrived.  Thanks Rebecca!

Thanks Rebecca 
I had a wonderful time. Perfect location and high end facilities.
It looks stylish, but it is also comfortable and calm. A very relaxing place to stay.
I would come back and stay again for sure."

5124929,29886433,2015-04-13,8503703,Simon,"Adrian was a great host and very attentive. The apartment was clean, cozy and was very well located. 

I'll definitely stay here again if I'm ever going through Austin. "
5124929,33312960,2015-05-26,7267586,Harris,"My stay at Adrian's apartment was absolutely lovely. He was extremely accommodating, attentive and helpful. The apartment is very cute and cozy and has everything one needs for a fun weekend in Austin. "
5851544,31864260,2015-05-10,2745414,John,"I had a great stay at Marina's place, the room and sleeping arrangements were just as described. Marina and her roommate were very friendly; I was in town for a weekend to do some apartment hunting and they were happy to give me some tips to help me in my search. I would definitely recommend their place for anyone needing a place to crash in North Austin."
5851544,32203697,2015-05-15,32784950,Carlos,Marina was a nice welcoming person. The apartment is nice as well as the neighborhood. We didn't have any problems. Actually I had an enjoyable stay and chill funny times with the hosts and the other roommates. 
1733137,7908022,2013-10-07,9198331,Reagan,I came with a friend and needed a place to stay last minute for the weekend of Austin City Limits music festival. Laura and her family were very nice and extremely accommodating. We were the first guests to use her guesthouse and our experience could not have gone better! The sofa pulls out and sleeps two comfortably. The location was perfect for walking distance to Zilker Park. Laura was very helpful on directions and fun things to in the city it was like having our own concierge! I really enjoyed getting to know you guys and stay at your place thanks for accommodating us it was wonderful! 
1733137,8099334,2013-10-15,1686498,Eric,"My girlfriend and I stayed at this studio for four days to check out the Austin City Limits music festival and to see Austin for the first time.  The studio was in a great location for both of those activities and was quite comfortable (the pullout couch was very comfortable as well).  Laura and Marc were great hosts and provided us with some great tips on where to eat, shop and people watch.  Would definitely recommend."
1733137,8817815,2013-11-19,3641669,Stephen,"Great place, lovely hosts who provided great recommendations for restaurants in the area.  The people we booked this for really enjoyed their stay! Thanks!"
1733137,10397971,2014-02-17,9041104,Ryan,"Laura made the whole weekend easy for me, my wife, and 2 year old daughter. We arrived on Valentines Day evening and she had a bottle of bubbly and chocolates waiting for us... What a great thought! She greeted us when we arrived and showed us the place. She left out toys in the yard for our daughter to play with... Her son even came out to play with us a few times, which we all enjoyed! Laura and her husband offered us breakfast tacos on Sunday morning, but unfortunately we had alternate plans to gorge ourselves on doughnuts at Gordoughs that morning... Any other day we would have taken them up on the offer. I highly recommend this rental. It's super easy to get downtown or to Zilker and South Congress from here and the hosts are wonderful!"
1733137,10554152,2014-02-24,12153088,Shane,Great location and excellent hosts!!
1733137,10877393,2014-03-11,11361762,Alan,"Came to Austin for SXSW, and couldn't have been more happy with my stay! Nice place, separated from house and appropriately private, with comfortable couch/bed and desk workspace.  Extremely convenient to downtown and the Barton Springs area (and anywhere else in central Austin, really).  Laura and Mark were wonderful hosts, and made me feel right at home - they even had great coffee, breakfast snacks and drinks in the room.  Would gladly stay here again!"
1733137,11070497,2014-03-19,2721234,Sarah,"We loved staying with Laura and Mark! Their space is beautiful, new and immaculate with new hvac, recessed lighting, a beautiful serene backyard... They just designed and built the beautiful house and studio. It was such an oasis between shows and activities. They were there to attend our every need- brought breakfast tacos and Greek yogurt and local coffee and beer. 

We rented bikes from Barton Springs Bike Rentals and biked everywhere. It was super easy to bike anywhere we wanted. They do have parking if you're driving. We walked to Uchi, Henri's, Barleyswine and the AGBG. They had loads of great good recs too.

The sofa bed is very comfy, and the skylights never were an issue - those were the questions I had before booking. We slept really well and enjoyed the sound system and wifi too.

We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when we come back, as long as they're not too popular to have space!"
1733137,11755427,2014-04-14,13188092,James,"Laura and Mark own a fabulous contemporary home with a wonderful studio out back. I stayed for nine nights and they worked very hard to make me feel welcome and comfortable and that included supplying me with fresh fruit and breakfast fixings. The unit was clean, bright, comfortable and reasonably quiet, especially considering the proximity to downtown and Barton Springs Rd. The parking situation wasn't ideal, though that was only a challenge for a few days since most of the time I used a rented bicycle to get around. Having said that, street parking is legal and Laura and Mark were very accommodating by parking their cars out of the way most of the time. The location was only two miles from my business hotel (Courtyard by Marriott) so walking or biking into downtown was easy. "
1733137,12623959,2014-05-06,1826548,Andria,"My stay was very comfortable—the studio was clean, quiet and in a great neighborhood.

1733137,13994830,2014-06-09,16260600,Dorothy,"Mark and Laura's backyard studio is adorable and very comfortable. Their house is in an excellent location. We easily walked to several good restaurants and the bike rental shop. On bikes, it was only a few minutes to the Zilker Park greenbelt and to Barton Springs Pool.

Everything was clean and exactly what we were expecting from their posting and other reviews. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!

"
1733137,20013641,2014-09-22,19045090,Jon,"I had the pleasure of staying at Laura and Mark's studio last week. What else can I say that hasn't been said? The space was amazing, the location is fantastic, and the hosts are just wonderful. Though I didn't meet Laura in the weekend of my stay, we had great communication in the days leading up to my visit. Mark is a delight – we were chatting regularly and he introduced me to the kids! I'll definitely hope to stay here again on my next trip to Austin. Thanks guys!"
1733137,20808721,2014-10-06,10111156,Yvette,"Laura and her precious family were very welcoming and made sure I was comfortable and everything about the stay was smooth.  They are very easy to communicate with and also easy going.  I loved the guest studio...it was a quiet retreat from the busy days of the music festival.  I am definitely impacted by the design of space around me, and the studio was a simple but beautiful space I would love to have a chance to stay in again.  The little kitchen area packed a big punch for coffee and breakfast provided by the hosts.  Plus, the bed on the sofa was also very comfortable.  Thank you Laura, family and Austin!"
1733137,21191338,2014-10-13,11914825,Christine,"Laura and Mark were exceptionally friendly and welcoming! They provided us with juice, coffee and breakfast while we were there.  We had a wonderful stay. The studio was perfect for the two of us. The location couldn't have been better. It's so close to Barton Springs, Zilker Park and ACL! I would definitely recommend staying here. "
1733137,21620369,2014-10-20,469256,Amanda & Gary,"Laura and Mark were fantastic hosts- incredibly helpful, gracious, and easy going. The studio was great (even better than pictured and described), and the neighborhood was quiet, charming, and conveniently located. We would highly recommend this rental- it's a great home base for a trip to Austin! "
1733137,21975558,2014-10-27,2958505,Andy,Great hosts - very communicative and accommodating.  Studio is as described in their posting and in my favorite neighborhood in Austin. 
1733137,22500648,2014-11-08,22818272,Scott,"My prerequisites were LOCATION, private and cozy. This place was all3! Great hosts, accommodations and studio. Excellent location. Will visit again. Thanks so much!"
1733137,22622726,2014-11-10,10535707,Nicole,Laura and Mark were very gracious hosts whose simple back yard retreat was everything we wanted for our mini adventure in Austin.  Each morning we walked three easy blocks to the nearest B-cycle station and spun around town until we were ready for a late afternoon read/nap under the skylights.  We had a really great time and were super happy with the location and the space.
1733137,28116052,2015-03-18,21367885,Anthony,"Laura and Mark met me upon checkin. They even contacted me in advance, asking what kinds of things I would need for breakfast etc. They both were very kind and accommodating. It was a quick walk down the street to restaurants and bars, and the bus stop was also very near, for a quick trip into other parts of Austin."
1733137,28419809,2015-03-23,2458260,Matt,"Awesome place. About a 15 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride to a bunch of great things. The studio is super comfortable and clean.  A nice sound setup too. Very chill neighborhood. Place was fully stocked with water, toiletries, etc. Thank you!
"
1733137,48631863,2015-09-27,7544512,Nathalie,"This lovely little hideaway is perfectly located. A quiet retreat from the city. What makes this place superspecial are Mark and Laura, who go above and beyond to make guests comfortable. We didn't expect breakfast, yet the fridge was fully stocked (also with nice beers). Laura and Mark are so welcoming, you immediately feel at home. And they're fabulous people. Wish we'd had more time for beers together. Awesome place! We'll definitely be back!"
1733137,50428110,2015-10-12,15062709,Hayley,"Laura and Mark are wonderful hosts and super friendly! They made us feel right at home and were always ready to give suggestions on restaurants and the like. Their space is beyond perfect and clean, and stocked with all the breakfast goodies you could ask for. We stayed for ACL and were just a quick walk from Zilker. The location is ideal for any stay in ATX festival or not. "
1733137,53025667,2015-11-03,4619260,Meghan,"My boyfriend and I stayed a few nights at Laura's place after spending a few days downtown at the Austin Film Festival. The apartment is in a really pretty residential neighborhood, was super cute, and had everything we needed -- toiletries, breakfast fixings, and a keurig we never got around to using because there were too many coffee shops we wanted to try. We didn't rent a car, which I would reconsider if I returned to Austin for a longer trip (it's generally more spread out than I anticipated) but we did fine with ubers. The apartment was also nice because it was walking distance to a bunch of great food options on Barton Springs Road (the Monte Cristo at the ""Hey...you gonna eat"" truck was insane, and the Brewery around the corner is great too). Laura and the family were great and made us feel very welcome - thanks for a great trip!!

5020354,26551120,2015-02-15,11337310,Brian,"Great House.  Great Host.  Was visiting Austin for work so didn't even get a chance to enjoy the amenities, but the house was perfect.  Good location that seems a bit out-of-the-way on the map but wasn't at all.  In fact, I beat my coworkers everywhere we went because somehow all roads made for faster to access from this area.  Very clean, comfortable beds.  Lots of space and HUGE private well-designed backyard.  Great artwork.  Nice little high-end touches everywhere (like all the lights have dimmers, well done landscape lighting, 6 sprayer shower).  Will definitely return.  Michael was also an amazing host, responded to any questions quickly and was just an interesting/cool guy.  Just hated I worked most of the time and didn't get to enjoy the house more.  Thanks, Michael!"
5020354,26934372,2015-02-22,5495842,Yair And Devorah,"The house was even bigger and better than we imagined!
It is impeccably decorated and Michael was very accessible and informative during our stay.
The outdoor area (including the outdoor shower and hot tub) is a real treat. It's a perfect house for small groups visiting Austin.
If I were to return to Austin I would definitely stay there again if it were available."
5020354,27276236,2015-03-01,13900809,Angela,I loved Michael's house! The 50's retro style gave a unique Austin feel. The hot tub was most enjoyable and our group spent most of the time relaxing in it during our weekend trip. The location is very convenient to the downtown area. Michael was extremely accommodating and helpful. Everything was very clean and like new. I highly recommend staying at this hip oasis and will be back!
5020354,30727437,2015-04-26,31342158,Siobhan,"First, let me just say that Michael was an incredible host.  His instructions regarding the house were well laid out and he explained everything we needed to know without us having to ask.  He was great about responding immediately to all my inquiries.  He also made it very clear that he was available at anytime if we had a problem, but he respected our groups privacy.  

Michael's house is perfect.  It was exactly as pictured and described.  We were traveling as a group of six (three couples) and there was more than enough room for everyone.  The house was incredibly clean and well equipped.  I loved the little added touch of decoratively folded towels and toiletries on all the beds.  Also, the backyard was so cool.  Very spacious with awesome landscaping.  

The location of the house was exactly what we were looking for.  Close to downtown but not right in the middle of everything.  We ended up going out a few times, but people were eager to get back and enjoy the house.  I would definitely recommend this house.  "
5020354,32980335,2015-05-24,5392765,Michael,"Enjoyed the house and his taste in decor.  Neighborhood was nice and quiet and very close to local parks and restaurants, and had easy access to getting to downtown Austin and UT Austin."
5020354,33625472,2015-05-30,31611796,Linda,This is a great location and a great experience!! Support staff was terrific as well. Come to this place soon!!
5020354,34306227,2015-06-07,31244585,Carly,"I can not say enough great things about our experience staying at Michael's place. My sister and I planned a bachelorette party for our middle sister and Austin was our choice to go to and celebrate for the weekend. There were eleven of us girls and we were looking for something in a great location to downtown, plenty of space for all of us, and a place that was unique and different. This place met all our needs. Michael was fantastic from the beginning and was always there to answer any questions. We rented both his Hip Oasis and the Wow glass window house next door. The back yard was perfect, both houses were so clean and very unique. The glass window house was the perfect place for all of us to hang out ( much better than being split up in hotel rooms.) Beds were so comfortable, bathrooms were super cool and modern, couch was amazingly comfortable, Wifi, cable, Apple TV, everything was right there if we needed it. We took uber downtown so we wouldn't have to mess with parking and it took uber all of about 8 minutes to get us downtown and then we got to come home after going out each night to a nice quiet neighborhood. The houses were fun, our experience was great, and the weekend was even better than we expected. It was a memorable girls weekend with our greatest friends and having this place to retreat to made it that much better! I hated to leave and I'll definitely find a reason in the future to stay here again. "
5020354,35201729,2015-06-16,1578531,Sean,"This house was perfect for my last trip to Austin. Two old friends and I shared the rental, and we each had spacious, quiet bedrooms. I LOVED the outdoor shower and hot tub situation. The location is perfect. Only a few miles from downtown ($8 Uber ride). I highly recommend this place. Michael was a perfect host. We were even greeted with a bottle of wine upon arrival. "
5020354,36494634,2015-06-28,13371456,Jen,"Michael was a perfect host - he was away traveling when we stayed, but provided us with all the information we needed over email. The house is stunning and was absolutely perfect. The location is great, very close to downtown and the hot tub was fantastic. 

"
5020354,37252257,2015-07-05,7974394,Agustin,"It was a great experience since the beginning. The communication was great and pretty fast.

The house is beautiful with great modern decoration,  clean and big enough to have a group of friends.

The Managment team is very kind and friendly, definitely coming back."
5020354,42977833,2015-08-16,30671564,Jordan,Great house and location! Loved it
5020354,45949204,2015-09-07,4392771,Rob,"We had a great stay at the Hip Oasis! Very unique property, the outdoor shower shower and hot tub were fun and relaxing. If you have the opportunity to stay here, do it! Michael and Elizabeth ensured we had a great experience during our stay."
5020354,47413898,2015-09-18,39486793,Pete,"This is a great house, and Michael was always prompt with his communications. Have a look at the photos and other reviews.....then just book it!"
5020354,47836511,2015-09-21,32371705,Meghan,"The house was beautiful and exactly as described, in a very comfortable neighborhood close to everywhere we wanted to go. Michael was extremely welcoming and attentive. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely go back!"
5020354,48789507,2015-09-28,12324021,Sarah,"Beautiful home! Michael made my family feel extremely welcome with champagne waiting upon arrival, coffee and condiments in the fridge and a spotless house. The backyard was beautiful and a great gathering spot. Would gladly stay here again in the future!"
5020354,49432390,2015-10-04,10502091,Dw,"Excellent experience! The hosts left us a bottle of wine with a nice note to welcome us. Location is excellent - only a 10-15 minute drive downtown, even with I-35 traffic backed up. The beds were comfortable, the hot tub fantastic, and the decorations all Austin-chic. Michael is very responsive as well."
8134325,46352750,2015-09-09,42440117,Rajesh,Great place to stay if you want to stay in a casual young environment . close to downtown is a big plus. 
8134325,46986923,2015-09-14,9684373,Michael,"Jonathan was a very, very gracious host- thanks man! "
8134325,47815191,2015-09-21,9227072,Your Bed And Breakfast At The Beach!,"Jonathon is a great host.  Though he was out of town, he was in close contact with me in advance of my stay and his cousin and pets were great company and made me feel right at home!  The apartment is perfect for young urban professionals and located within minutes of the airport and downtown. The ""commute"" to the convention center was easy peezy.  "
8134325,48229814,2015-09-24,44107132,Joshua,Had a good stay Jonathan I'll definitely come visit Austin again and hit you and your cousin up.
8134325,49065566,2015-09-30,40482613,Roisin,"Jon, was the best host we could have asked for. He showed us a great time in Austin from the second we arrived. Went above and beyond what was needed of an Airbnb host. Best experience I have had yet. We all became really close friends and will definitely keep in touch. His flat itself is really nice. The location is quality. Thanks so much "
8134325,49804825,2015-10-06,43426747,Spencer,"Jon was super friendly, very helpful in guiding us to hot spots in the city, and extremely accommodating to whatever we may have needed during our stay. Loved being close to the city at an affordable price. "
8134325,50653434,2015-10-13,43584882,Yvette,"I was a bit nervous at first, but Jonathan made me feel comfortable. He did a superb job in making me feel at home and was very respectful and helpful. "
8134325,51415664,2015-10-19,16352294,Monique,"Had a very nice visit at Jonathan's place. He is a very friendly, respectful and thoughtful host, and his place is very nice as well. Everything was clean and orderly, and he even cleaned before my arrival (including washing all the bedding and towels). He also has a sweet dog that is very well behaved, quiet and friendly. I'd definitely recommend him as a host. "
4849820,41135163,2015-08-04,38677448,Conor,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Murray & Amy. They were very welcoming, made me feel at home, and invited me out to the local pub quiz on my first night which was fun. The house is modern and funky with everything you need. The room is very comfortable with a great ensuite bathroom, a wardrobe and it's own air-conditioning unit! It felt more like a nice hotel room than a room in someone's house. The location is awesome! there are a number of superb places to eat within a 5 minute walk, and even more places within a 10 minute walk on South Congress. I recommend the Torchy's Tacos food truck which is very close-by. The bus stop is only a 5min walk and takes you into downtown but you could easily walk there in the cooler months. Lots of great places/activities within walking distance including Barton Springs and the river. If you're looking for things to do Murray & Amy will give you a heap of suggestions as they have lived in Austin a good while and know what's worth doing. Overall a great experience! My initial stay was 2 weeks which I extended while I found a permanent place. I highly recommend staying with Murray & Amy."
4849820,50173655,2015-10-10,9504378,Amanda,"Murray and Amy were very welcoming and flexible – staying at their house made my move to Austin seamless. The room is private, light-filled, and spacious. Definitely recommend!"
3967972,46787063,2015-09-13,42142460,Talia,"Jennifer was a great host! The apartment was cute and cozy and kept clean. Apartment is located in a convenient spot, near south congress and downtown. Jennifer was responsive to all messages and very helpful! "
3967972,47759410,2015-09-21,24275058,Amanda,"Jennifer's place was as described in both her listing and the pictures - small, but comfortable, cute, and very clean!  Jennifer left us plenty of amenities as well as provided parking and access codes to the pool.  Her unit stayed cool throughout the very hot days, and she also provided high speed Wi-Fi.  The unit is on a corner and was very quiet.  The complex and parking are both secured, so we felt very safe.

The location of her place is extremely convenient - you are a short walk to all the amazing restaurants and shops in the South Congress Area (including a morning caffeine boost from Jo's), as well as just a few blocks from the famous Congress Bridge (where you can see the bats).  It was also walking distance from downtown, or a short drive or Uber ride to many other cool neighborhoods, without the hassle of actually staying downtown. Jennifer was also a great host and was extremely quick to respond to any of my questions, as well as provide tips on things to see or - more importantly in Austin - places to eat!  I would definitely recommend this rental!"
3967972,51236222,2015-10-18,46416136,Joel,Place was great. Easy to find and host was very easy to communicate with to access the unit. Great location close to a lot of great spots. 
3967972,52020649,2015-10-25,29993880,Matt,"Jennifer's apartment is very comfortable, and close to everywhere you want to be in Austin. Even though our flight was very delayed and we did not arrive until 1am, she was still able to make arrangements for our ""check in"". I would stay here again, no question. "
1559593,7014284,2013-09-03,2683312,Dwayne,"My interaction with Larry was great! Due to some unusual circumstances, we had to cancel our reservation. When I explained the situation to Larry, he was very understanding and gave us a full refund. I greatly appreciated this and will definitely stay there next time I'm in town! Thank so much, Larry!"
1559593,10428605,2014-02-18,11521435,Nick,"Two friends and I rented Larry's guest house in Austin for 4 nights in February 2014 and could not have been happier with the experience. The place itself is as fantastic as the pictures make it look: comfortable furniture, a well-equipped kitchen, and a great living room area. Larry and his wife were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all my questions throughout the entire process. I would recommend renting from Larry without any hesitation and hope to stay here again next time I find myself in Austin!"
1559593,26069619,2015-02-02,26214835,Jason,Great host! Easy to work with. Was a good experience.
1559593,30237679,2015-04-19,6593041,Jared,"Seemless Experience. This listing is located in super convenient and beautiful neighborhood of East Austin that is right across I35 from Downtown. I work in hotels in downtown and it literally took me 5 min. to get to work driving. I even walked home from dinner or other events some nights. 
I walked to several local spots such as Hightower, Silo on 7th, Quickie Pickie, etc. 
Had one small issue on my second day and both Larry and Paige were uber-responsive and resolved the issue promptly. From working in the hospitality industry, it's all about how hosts respond to issues that makes the difference. 
The Property is top-notch, clean, and luxurious, but more most importantly, they made me feel like part of their family for the two weeks I was there. 
Would definitely return and recommend to anyone. 

"
1559593,46748591,2015-09-13,12430004,Megan,The pool was really amazing and there are a fair amount of places to eat nearby. And the a/c was a lifesaver.
1559593,47757456,2015-09-21,42377561,Devon,"The 1 bedroom suite was exactly as depicted in this listing.  Very clean, well maintained, and extremely easy to use.  I was given a specific set of instructions prior to check in that allowed me to come and go as I pleased.  Location is terrific, very convenient to cabs and downtown.    "
375142,3577032,2013-02-18,4919245,Lisa,"A few weeks ago I took a look on Airbnb to find a clean room to stay for an upcoming workshop in Austin, TX. I got a whole lot more than I ever expected. The place I found was just plain amazing. It was as clean and neat as any 5 star hotel, but cooler than any boutique hotel anywhere. Full kitchen with everything I needed, great balconies to take in the surroundings and the walls adorned with fascinating works of art. My bedroom was well appointed, the linens and towels were luxurious and the place was like something out of a hip design magazine. I had this feeling that everything had some kind of story attached to it and after meeting my host, I was right. This is one traveled person who has loves to entertain and be a host. And the house reflects that. Susan pays a lot of attention to the little details that make this such a great place to stay. And the location is about as good as it gets in Austin. I could walk to South Congress restaurants, cafes and shops in no time. There is all the city bustle nearby yet this little pocket of Travis Heights is quiet and great for walking or biking. This small condo complex itself is inviting. I’ve also learned that it is possible to rent the entire unit as well. I will be booking this room again for my next weekend workshop in Austin as I loved staying in this well maintained home.. It is just infused with a great vibe. Thanks Airbnb for helping make my stay so great."
8558405,52015741,2015-10-25,28579644,Chris,"The location and the loft were perfect and had everything I needed for a short trip over the F1 weekend.

Michael was very accommodating to my late arrival and leaving my bag in the garage after I had checked out.

Good and frequent communication."
2338142,26030050,2015-02-01,26734119,Julia,"I loved staying here! The location was fantastic. Easy walking to Zilker park and to the Greenbelt. Great location for access to all the great food in South Austin and super easy access to downtown too. 

I experienced a sense of retreat just by being in the house. I did yoga on the private porch and sipped tea in the sunlight with open windows in the living room. There was always plenty of parking on the street and I had everything I needed in the house. My only word of caution is that the stairs to the entrance are steep, so it wouldn't be ideal for my 90 year old grandmother. 

Overall, a fantastic place to stay! "
2338142,26544212,2015-02-15,8487387,Bel,"Description of place was right on.  Private balcony was serene, great for morning coffee or evening wine.  Location couldn't be better.  Host was kind and sweet, more than willing to share common space."
2338142,27289932,2015-03-01,4133689,Brian,"Charlotte's place was great. Its an extremely clean and well kept apartment in a beautiful residential part of town. I did not get to meet Charlotte as she was out of town, but it she was very available and communicative in getting me there, welcomed and settled. "
2338142,28077998,2015-03-17,11692680,Jiri,"Charlotte was fantastic throughout. A truly relaxing, beautiful place and with a fantastic host. Not much else to say. Very much recommend her home as a place to consider for your next airbnb stop."
2338142,32420553,2015-05-17,33106339,Claire,"Charlotte was great! Super friendly and very responsive. Her place is lovely, warm and inviting...extremely clean! Location is wonderful. The neighborhood is a safe, great place to walk or to jump on the nearby trail system in the park. Her place is a welcome spot to come home to after a day in the bustling city!"
2338142,47741360,2015-09-21,41672472,Tammy,"Charlotte made us feel welcome.  Her home was just as described online. It was clean,lovely, and inviting.  Our room had its own bathroom. There was also a private, peaceful balcony.  We very much enjoyed our visit. We look forward to our next trip to Austin and will for sure book a room with Charlotte."
2338142,50430770,2015-10-12,5669761,David,"Charlotte's place had everything we needed. The location was perfect, and everything was as described in the listing."
2232265,10908860,2014-03-12,12419476,Jason,"Although I never got to meet Tammy, she was a very gracious host. She left out fruit and snack/breakfast foods for us. That was very nice of her. I must also say the neighborhood was dead quiet. That was very nice. Her house is currently under renovations, however, so most of what I am about to say will surely be a non issue for the next airbnb'ers.

Pet friendly meant there was hair stuck on the sheets. Tammy brought some new sheets a few days into our reservation, but one of our 3 people staying had to go get a hotel because it was too gross. I must say, the light renovations were a bit more than light to me. The place was not what I was expecting. Only one room was really usable with a real bed. The second room with the futon bed was very lopsided and small. Im only 5'9"" and my head and feet were touching the top and bottom of the frame. The large couch would also be good for someone 5'8"" and shorter, as I also tried to sleep on it one night and even catty-corner I was still too long for it. I am leaving a lot of private feedback for Tammy so she can understand our issues and take care of them. She was very apologetic and I think if you talk to her before making the reservation she will give you a full picture of the current renovations.

I am rating 2 stars for the quiet neighborhood and the great hospitality. "
2232265,11017010,2014-03-17,12352348,Chris,"Tammy was helpful and provided lots of good info on the area. The neighborhood is great: quiet, easy to navigate, etc."
2232265,21227507,2014-10-13,5997666,Janet,"This rental worked out extremely well for us for ACL weekend. It was affordable, convenient location, and met all my basic needs. The house was in a good safe neighborhood and located close to a great shopping mall and to both highway 1 and 35. The house is undergoing some renovations so accomodations are basic but acceptable especially for the price and the availability for ACL weekend. Tammy was extremely helpful and stayed in contact with any needs that I had. Very appreciative of her hospitality. "
2232265,21572116,2014-10-19,22663800,Scott,"This space was exactly as advertised. The neighborhood was quiet, the home was cozy, and our dog loved the backyard. The network of trails nearby are lovely, too, and the location is convenient for getting downtown. On top of that, Tammy was very friendly and helpful. She accommodated our flexible schedule. "
2232265,21928133,2014-10-26,10511405,Fabien,"Very good experience, the location is excellent, close to the Walnut Creek park. The house was very clean and everything in good working order. We were two couples and had largely enough space. Recommended."
2232265,22298868,2014-11-03,19706623,Kelly,"If you're just looking for a place to crash while in Austin this house would be fine. I would not recommend it for families with kids. The place isn't safe enough or clean enough for small children. The toilet handle came off in my hand and one of the closet doors fell off the track three times, once landing on my kid's foot. The house had been wiped down but not cleaned. I spent my first hour of vacation cleaning. The coffee pot had old molding coffee in it and the pots and pans had food stuck to them. 

It's two bedrooms each with it's own bathroom and the beds were fairly comfortable. So again if you just plan on sleeping here it'd be fine. However if you plan on hanging out at the house at all or cooking there this isn't the place. "
2232265,24588181,2014-12-31,6458327,Beth,"Everything was exactly as advertised. Clean, basic accommodations at great price. Tami was very flexible and easy to work with. If you're looking for luxury, you will want to look somewhere else. For us, this was exactly what we wanted - a place to sleep, make coffee in the morning, and use as a ""home base"" while visiting."
2232265,25782634,2015-01-25,14367968,Jackie,"We needed an alternative to tent camping for one cold night during a weekend climbing trip to Austin. Tammy was quick to respond and made her place available on short notice. 

We found things to be accurate on the description- the house is older in a quiet neighborhood. It was very suitable for a short night's stay before heading outdoors the rest of the weekend. "
2232265,27204917,2015-02-28,18929341,Erin,"The house is cute, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet- just what we needed.  Not a lot of frills, but it was good for our budget.  Owner was helpful & good with communication.  My kids liked the back yard."
2232265,27941959,2015-03-15,26637976,Kate,Overall it was pleasant. We had a total of five people stay there comfortably. The two bathrooms were great! It's a cute house with a  lot of potential! Tammy is clearly dedicating her efforts to improving the home.
2232265,28165335,2015-03-19,2380989,Shir,"Tammy's house was just the perfect size for a few days vacation, clean and welcoming on our arrival. It is a great place for a young group to stay, but missing a few items to turn into a family friendly house: cloth hangers, more dishes and cutting boards and a little bench or stool for younger kids to reach sinks. "
2232265,28330709,2015-03-22,28392361,Jerry,"The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood, close to coffee shop and other dining. Description of property was accurate.  Very colorful decor and walls. Nice mural in bedroom."
1834830,11047097,2014-03-18,372971,Kathryn,"Craig and family were amazing hosts.  He was flexible and easy to communicate with during the booking process and throughout our stay ensuring that we had everything we needed (and more).  The house was beautiful, extremely clean, and very spacious.  The beds were all large and comfortable and the downstairs was perfect for cooking dinner + socializing.  There is an office with workout equipment and the backyard was great, even though we didn't get to use the pool. The neighborhood is lovely and very quiet, but just a short drive to downtown (even during SXSW).  I cannot say enough about how welcoming and hospitable Craig and his family were to my team, and highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much Craig!"
4014472,21973235,2014-10-27,9818421,Rachel,"Casita Querida was cozy and adorable--there was plenty of space and privacy with its own entrance. Janie left helpful instructions about how to control the temperature, wifi, and the bikes she kindly lent that we should have taken advantage of, as well as local restaurants and attractions. The space was clean, well-stocked with towels, blankets, etc., and we had a wonderful time! Would absolutely stay here again. "
4014472,25556659,2015-01-19,25203477,Mary,We had such a lovely time staying at janie's. Thanks for making our stay so comfortable and being so helpful. We will definitely stay again next time we're in Austin. Cheers! 
4014472,27903286,2015-03-14,9406577,Sam,"Janie's house was fantastic. It had such a comfortable feel. The location was ideal. We were able to walk to Anderson's for coffee, Kerbey Lane for breakfast, and Brick Oven on 35th for dinner. Janie was responsive and extremely considerate throughout our stay. Our young children loved the extensive book collection. She had everything from Dr. Seuss to pop-ups to board books, more than plenty to keep our voracious readers entertained. We also made the serendipitous discovery of a stocked toy wardrobe that hadn't been advertised in the pictures. All in all, we were very pleased and would stay here again."
4014472,31490021,2015-05-05,20887738,Angelina & Mitchell,"We had such a lovely time staying here! The place was just as listed - very comfortable and private. The location was perfect for us and our dogs being so close to the trail across the street. The neighborhood was nicely quiet and very eclectic! 

Thanks for making our stay so comfortable and for letting us back in when we locked ourselves out! :) "
4014472,33104848,2015-05-25,25903113,Alexandria,The casita was the perfect place to stay for a weekend trip to Austin! I would highly recommend it!
4014472,47797175,2015-09-21,2936641,Ryan,"My friends and I loved the Casita Querida.  It was a great location (walkable to Kerbey Lane Cafe), very cool property, and had everything we needed.  We felt very welcome, though we spent more of our time around Austin rather than in the airbnb, which was a good thing.  I would definitely recommend staying here for a great Austin experience."
4014472,48776541,2015-09-28,1107490,Vanessa,"My family and I had a great stay in the Casita Querida. It was in a good location, and everything was as described. Would recommend. "
4014472,49595371,2015-10-05,36663064,Pulkit,"Janie was an exceptional host, the space was exactly as described. Will definitely stay again! "
4014472,51452756,2015-10-20,600234,Kreta,Great neighborhood and location.  Janie was the perfect host.  Will definitely return on our next trip to Austin!
172104,37661830,2015-07-09,2904459,Kris,"Cristina was a lovely host, and the house was spacious and welcoming.  Particularly for a family with kids, this place would be ideal.  For just two of us, it was more than enough, and we particularly appreciated having the use of a washer/dryer during our weeklong stay.  The large back yard, well-stocked kitchen, and convenient location, as well as the reasonable price, made this location a wonderful choice."
4438044,47900133,2015-09-21,31483619,Tom,"We had a wonderful stay at Constant Marks' house in the North Loop area of Austin. The house itself was beautiful and very cozy. Constant left us a huge note on his chalkboard-wall and a bottle of wine welcoming us on our 28th anniversary. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The espresso machine was a real bonus, made simple with his Youtube video. We didn't get to know Constant, but it's still likely that we will."
4438044,48364670,2015-09-25,14742004,Remington,"Constant was exceptionally flexible with our stay and went above-and-beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His place is truly a gem and is quite a steal at the listed price. It doesn't show in the pictures, but the house is two-tiered with the porch, office and dining area on a lower level than the living room, kitchen and bedrooms. His kitchen and bathrooms are well-stocked in case you've forgotten any of your hygiene products. The house is nicely located near 35, Mopac and 183 so traveling around ATX was a breeze. The neighborhood is a nice mix of responsible college students and young professionals. Will highly recommend and potentially stay with him again. "
4438044,48661981,2015-09-27,18772957,Jessica,I absolutely loved the house it was fantastic. Constant made sure we had everything we needed  and was quick to answer any questions we had.    My favorite spot was definitely the sun room and I loved having a record player in the living room.  I suggest you take advantage of the espresso machine and spend some time relaxing in the sun room. This was a great place to be and really felt like a home away from home.
4438044,49677263,2015-10-05,2223399,Becky,"I had such a lovely stay at Constant's house! No complaints, everything was perfect. Especially having coffee on the patio every morning! :)"
4438044,50019834,2015-10-08,21549330,Ryan,"Constant was very helpful and super accommodating with making and modifying my booking.  The house was even better than the pictures would have suggested.  Super cute little house with great finishing touches - really felt like home, and I would have gladly stayed longer!  The location is convenient, and the neighborhood seemed reasonably nice.  No chiminea in the back yard as mentioned in the ad (out of date?) but it was probably too warm out to really want to use it for long anyway."
4438044,50666273,2015-10-13,6737914,Elvis,"Constant's house was a great place to stay.  Very relaxing and in a cool area.  Good vintage shops/record stores.  Constant was very helpful with info on swimming holes and hikes in the Austin area.  Wifi worked at all times, great espresso machine, nice screened in patio.  Highly recommend staying here.  Me and my girlfriend rented a car which was nice because Austin is a big city to get around without one.  "
4438044,51161031,2015-10-18,44349659,Brandon,This was my first Air BNB experience and far exceeded my expectations. Constant's place was super cozy and very cool.  It is a very unique Austin home and we couldn't have stayed at a better location.  It was a steal for the price that we paid and I am very grateful for him letting us stay there. 
4438044,51930556,2015-10-25,30741546,Carlos,"Great place to stay! Really well kept and clean. I really like this house and will definitely stay here again if I go visit Austin.  Before your arrival Constant sends you a list of instructions and suggested restaurants, bars, and shops... Really useful. Thanks, Constant!"
4438044,52949384,2015-11-02,5726854,Katie,"I highly recommend Constant's house. We live in Austin but needed a last-minute place to stay for the weekend while we had repairs done on our house. I contacted Constant the day we needed to get out of our place and he was quick to respond and accommodate us AND our dog! His house is super homey, more so than most we have stayed in - he has anything you could need (kitchen items galore!), and the place is simply but nicely furnished and decorated. We didn't get to try out the fire out back but I'm hoping to recommend the place to my mom the next time she visits so we can come back again!"
4438044,53211667,2015-11-06,24265605,Ross,Great house. Great location off northloop and Constant was more than accommodating. Looking forward to my future reservation.
727662,2688018,2012-10-22,3701479,Brooke,"Lisa's home was as pretty as a picture. I travel from NYC to Austin quite often with my boyfriend (who is an Austin native) but this time my parents wanted to come visit us from Michigan as well. To make things easier I decided an Airbnb home would be the perfect situation for all 4 of us and THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. Her home is located close to the really lively shopping/eating/drinking area of South Congress. It was gorgeous and clean. My parents were so impressed with me for arranging such a classy and comfortable/ relaxed situation for us all. 

Lisa herself was prompt and lovely to work with and she really went the extra mile with the additional touches: bottled water in the fridge, selections of coffee and tea, extra toiletries, night lights for the hallway (new places can be disorienting in the middle of the night!) Citronella candles for the backyard, etc.

There is just a lot of thought put into her abode and it was such a treat to stay in a place that had modern touches in all the right places without forsaking the unique vintage quirks of the home. We all woke up in the morning after great nights of sleep and just enjoyed the tranquility of having coffee out on the porch or while sitting at the dining room table gazing at the huge trees through the picture window,

I really recommend Lisa's SoCo home and wish we were able to stay beyond 2 days and nights. We will be back. "
727662,10899522,2014-03-12,2686183,Katherine,I highly recommend Lisa's space - she has great taste - provides a well stocked place and is very accommodating - great experience in a great neighborhood 
727662,21067691,2014-10-10,22049681,Julie,"This house was awesome.  Perfect location, clean, comfortable, great energy.  I can't wait to rent it again!"
727662,21879939,2014-10-26,1493861,Melanie,"Wonderful home! Host was very communicative and prompt. Seamless check in and check out process. The house was clean, big, comfortable, and in a great location. Will definitely return! "
727662,22179392,2014-11-01,17598068,Colleen,We stayed in the cottage at the back of the main house as part of our your of Texas for our honeymoon. The facilities were really good. Clean and smart. The decor was snazzy and the use of space was really well done. 
727662,28739190,2015-03-29,8094770,Jaime,"Lisa was an excellent host!  She made sure we had everything we needed, showed us around, and was very easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. 

Her house is just adorable and fit our needs perfectly - close to everything, well-appointed, and clean.  I highly recommend her place! "
727662,33145571,2015-05-25,1793619,Rachel,"I felt very welcomed by the host.  The house was lovely.  we were able to cook several meals in the kitchen.   My boyfriend took several runs during our stay, and he told me that he loved exploring the surrounding area.  "
727662,37604742,2015-07-08,12029813,Kimberly,"The house is beautiful! Nestled in Travis Heights neighborhood where you can walk to so many greats spots in Austin. Lisa our host was very accommodating. The house has anything you will need to make you feel at home. 

Thanks Lisa!"
727662,39736391,2015-07-26,12039087,Emily,"Great spot for a group of 6, central location (easy to uber.)"
727662,48624913,2015-09-27,13649558,Maria Jose,"Lisa's home is beautiful and welcoming.  It was very clean and the pictures described it well.  The neighborhood is quiet, yet very close to SoCo fun.  "
727662,51322317,2015-10-19,7908517,Katie,"Lisa's bungalow in SoCo was the perfect place for 5 and my friends and I to stay for my 30th birthday. We got a real taste for Austin living in the quaint neighborhood and funky Soco was only a short walk (even shorter uber ride) away. Because of our larger party we utilized the convertible sofa bed and air mattress. Lisa bought brand new bedding for both. The other two beds were super comfortable. The rest of the house was super clean, spacious and full of light. The newly renovated kitchen was also lovely and we got great use out of it. The patio out back was also a nice perk and we took full advantage of the beautiful weather while enjoying our coffee out back every morning. Lisa was super communicative and always responded quickly with any questions we had. Thanks for the wonderful accommodations, Lisa!"
4032815,20843553,2014-10-06,21130425,Kelcey,"We loved our time spent at Courtney's place! It was a great location, close to just about everything and had all the amenities of your own home. We felt very welcome and were very comfortable. Would happily stay here again and would recommend!"
4032815,21992205,2014-10-27,22673581,Kathy,"Great house for a fun weekend in Austin.  Super location, great space!  Thanks Courtney!"
4032815,28167387,2015-03-19,3950007,Yalçın,"We've arrived at the house at a very late hour but that didn't create a problem for our host, which was very comforting. The house was just as we expected, we stayed a week and felt like home. Neighbourhood is great; close enough to walk to So. Congress, but very silent and peaceful. Didn't have the chance to meet Courtney but I could reach her whenever I wanted and she was very nice to us through all the process. She supplied an extra air mattress or our friend before we have arrived."
4032815,29866690,2015-04-13,28832658,Michael,This is a great place and in a really great location close to South Congress. We did not meet Courtney but her communication was great and the accommodation has everything you'd need for a trip to Austin. I would definitely recommend!
1646020,8710154,2013-11-12,4982956,Elizabeth,"This was the perfect place to stay in Austin for the weekend. The home was very clean, very organized and the perfect size for two couples. The neighborhood is charming and quiet. We were able to walk to downtown but we were far enough away from the commotion.  Also, I called Suzanne to if we could check in early (before our lunch reservations) and she called me back immediately which was great!   They even left us milk and coffee after I asked if there was a coffee maker. I would highly recommend staying at this property and I would also recommend staying at any of Suzanne's other properties listed on here.  Overall a great experience!"
7227161,38806440,2015-07-18,37093027,Tae-Young,"Such a wonderful host, welcomed us warmly (through text), asked if we needed anything and promptly responded.  Highly recommended!"

4803803,32864851,2015-05-22,25846768,Brian,"This was my first experience with Airbnb, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more.  It was simple to book with the instant pay option on their App, and the instructions to enter the property where sent right to my email.  It was literally turn key service with everything provided when we walked in.  The house was new and clean, and had plenty of space for my colleague and I during our business trip.  Much better option than doing a hotel downtown, and much more affordable too!  I highly recommend!!"
8047684,45725714,2015-09-05,38162237,Natalie,"This process was very easy and efficient and Courtney was very helpful. However, I feel it was a bit pricey for the experience. The time between check in and check out for one night is less than 24 hours and the house was a little farther out from downtown than I had anticipated. Overall it was very clean and well kept up but just not worth the amount of money it costs for one night with the cleaning fee. Could have stayed in a hotel that included breakfast for cheaper. "
8047684,46051346,2015-09-07,3954126,Brittny,"Initial communication with Courtney was very easy, she responds quickly to messages prior to booking and during your stay.
The neighborhood wasn't quite what we expected. The street that the house is on seemed a little sketchy when we pulled onto it, but once we saw the outside of the house we felt a little relieved. The interior of the house left some things to be desired. It was very dusty and not very clean. We took our shoes off at the door and then quickly realized we needed to keep them on while in the house, our feet were black within minutes. Courtney did leave us a little welcome pack of Coronas, nut and teas.  I was excited about cooking in the large kitchen but there are no seasonings, oil and hardly any pots/pans. Although there were brand new appliances. The bathroom sink was very dirty and the tub was as well, the paint is also peeling in the tub basin. When showering, so much water comes out of the faucet that the tub fills up with water. The pictures don't show it, but it backs up to a highway and then has a very loud train on the other side. The entire place could use a good scrubbing, several coats of paint and some deodorizing! "
8047684,47580973,2015-09-20,44223315,Marco,"I'm a roofing contractor, and I leased this place for my best crew to stay. But for my experience with this booking, Courtney was very friendly, informative, and very quick at responding my questions, and concerns. For what the guys told me, the place was clean, and nice. they loved staying there. 
I would book it again from Courtney. Very happy!"
8047684,48304025,2015-09-25,29597749,Lindsey,"Courtney was a lovely hostess. We had a minor issue the first day but she went above and beyond to resolve it. She was easy to get in touch with and made the process simple.

The house was a nice size and had the simple amenities. (I did however have to go purchase a hairdryer,  so make sure you bring one if you're staying there.) The house is in a good location to easily access all parts of Austin. The neighborhood left a little to be desired. But it was ok. 

All in all I would recommend this house as a low cost alternative to a hotel."
8047684,48768276,2015-09-28,40127466,Angie,"Courtney was an amazing host and the house was great! The location was perfect for us. Stores, restaurants and anything we needed within walking distance. I would definitely recommend Courtney and her Cherry Orchard Casa. We will be coming back to stay!"
8047684,48946819,2015-09-29,44535468,Deborah,My host made me feel very welcome.She was very quick to responding to questions I had.

1028291,4263926,2013-04-22,4550079,Constantine,"Andrea is the consummate host and runs a wonderful set of rooms that cater to Airbnb guests. For a clean and comfortable room, convenient location, and friendly hospitality at a great rate, stay with her."
1028291,8375968,2013-10-28,8961387,Diana,"Andrea and George are very generous.
Andrea Works all the time to have the house clean and organized, she wants the guests feel at home, the room is very comfortable and spacious. There are people from different countries living in the house, everybody is so kind and respectful in this house you can interact with them and learn about other cultures.
Andrea is always ready to assist in whatever you need. Always ask if you need something. She prepared delicious and healthy food to share with everybody, in the kitchen there is always food for breakfast. I really enjoy the company of all the people who live here. they treat you like part of their family and respect your privacy.
I planned to stay only for a month but I definitely i will stay during all my stay in Austin. if I ever return I would not hesitate in staying here.
I´m glad here. This is the perfect place.
"
1028291,13873228,2014-06-07,12058896,Moe,"Andrea is honestly the nicest and most thoughtful host you could ever imagine. I really couldn't ask for anything more. She's always more than willing to help.  I stayed here for 3 months while attending MakerSquare (a 12-week software engineering bootcamp), so i was working 14-15 hour days and never had time to anything more than work and sleep. She did my laundry, always offered me food when i returned and she even went out and bought frosted flakes when she realized it was my favorite cereal. The rooms are very comfortable and you're sure to feel at home within the first day. I could've easily stayed for another 3 months because it was so comfortable. "
1028291,18251408,2014-08-24,17876228,Jurhee,"Andrea was very welcoming! The room was very clean. She had clean towels and sheets. There was cereal, milk and fruit in the kitchen. The location was always quiet. "
1028291,44892390,2015-08-30,28661230,Vianka,"Living with Andrea was the most amazing experience, she is almost like a mon, the house is clean, pretty, you have everything in there, you won`t get bored, and the food that she cooks is very delicious, living there is just perfect. LIKE A FAMILY"
5652310,28284561,2015-03-21,29291192,Ted,"Sarah is a really great and gracious hostess. The space was a bedroom in a house in South Austin. It was a little bit aways from downtown but definitely well worth the price! The room was very clean, quiet, and comfortable and Sarah went above and beyond by leaving me with everything I would need for a room away from home.  I was only in Austin for a few days but would definitely consider staying here again!"
5297037,28399834,2015-03-23,27697992,Heidi,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and I'm so glad it was with Rob.  Rob was an amazing host!  We talked for over an hour before I even got to Austin and he gave me lots of info about Austin and SXSW.  I stayed for 11 days.  When I arrived, Rob picked me up from the airport, showed me around town, told me about the hot spots to check out, and he even took me to pick up my SXSW Badge. Rob told me that if I needed anything to call him anytime and he would be there.  He mentioned that he would go out of town for the weekend,  and as such, he introduced me to some of his friends at his favorite coffee shop (and bought me a delicious cup of butter pecan coffee)  in case I needed something while he was out of town.  Rob was incredibly helpful and he was one of the reasons that I felt so comfortable during my time in Austin.  

The apartment was lovely and very clean and more than enough for my needs. The apartment would comfortably house two people.  Rob cleaned out his drawers and closet so that I could store my things. He showed me around the apartment and the building and made sure I was comfortable with everything.  He even stocked the refrigerator with water and red bull, and he left me pods of coffee, tea, and hot cocoa for use in the Kuerig coffee machine.   The location of the apartment was approximately a 10 minute drive from the Austin Convention Center, & on average I paid about $10 per Lyft ride.  I found it to be just far enough away from the SXSW chaos but not too far out of my way.   And there was lots to do very close to the apartment, but I didn't have the chance to explore too many things close to S. Lamar Street since I had a packed schedule near the Convention Center. 

Rob reached out to me the day before I was to leave Austin, & asked if he could take me to the airport.  My flight was a lot later than he anticipated, so he had to maneuver around his work schedule to pick me up, but he made it work!  We caught up like old friends, & even took a selfie together.  What a wonderful host.  The next time Im in Austin I will certainly check to see if Rob's apartment is available before I rent elsewhere.  "
5297037,29894098,2015-04-13,29289455,Avery,"Rob is a great host. Upon arrival, I had the privilege of grabbing a drink with him & friends at a few local bars nearby his airbnb location. The apartment maintains  clean luxury, is conveniently located near many accommodations, and Rob was only a text/call away at any moments notice. We also exchanged some intellectually & technologically gifted conversations (of which I'm always appreciative). Very quality stay - won't be the last time!"
5297037,31228130,2015-05-03,27818002,Sophia,"Rob was a great host! When I arrived, he was  personally there to give keys, instruction and offered me a great coffee and a dinner at a cool Greek restaurant near the place to share his great tips to cool spots to hangout in Austin. 

Aside to his hospitality, the place itself was great. Clean, new condo with a nice pool and a cozy club room with fitness, not to mention freshly brewed starbucks coffee every morning! 

Also the location was just on point to everywhere you'd want to go in Austin. Close to south congress, downtown and south Lamar where all the happening places were right around the corner. 

You will enjoy a great location with a great host at a clean new condo - I'll definitely recommend this place for your consideration in Austin. :-) thanks Rob! "
5297037,32649569,2015-05-19,33317630,Steve,"Rob was a great host with a great apartment. I got exactly what I was hoping for, with a quiet getaway in the heart of south Austin while I was in town for a weekend. Rob has everything you need to feel like you're at home and the apartment is well kept and clean.

There are lots of good food options within walking distance and there's free coffee downstairs. No complaints there!"
5297037,33210496,2015-05-25,33985974,Alesia,"I must start by saying: i am not usually a review kind of person, even though i should, it is very helpful to read the reviews. Rob was an excellent host, his house was in optimal conditions, perfectly located, very clean, quiet. In overall, a 5 star rate. 
It was my very first time in Austin looking for places to visit/dine/go out. Rob was very kind to take his time to explain in detail, places to go and visit.
"
5297037,34099566,2015-06-04,34473078,Isabel,"Me and my fiancé (along with our dog and cat) stayed at Rob's new apt off S Lamar for a week. It was super last minute but Rob was quick to respond and accommodate us! He was so welcoming, knowledgable about the area, and made himself available if we ever needed anything. We absolutely loved the location! Close to downtown, great food, and lots of outdoorsy stuff. We woke up to fresh Starbucks and Tazo tea in the morning available in the lobby and a badass gym which we def took advantage of. Parking was no problem at all and the area felt safe and comfortable. We were sent to Austin suddenly to work for the summer and it felt like a home away from home :) whether you're familiar with Austin or not, booking with Rob is a great option! Highly recommend!"
5297037,38086089,2015-07-12,15602825,Andrea,"Rob was incredible. From the moment we got to the apartment, he took out a pen and was writing down suggestions for where we should go eat, drink, and visit for the weekend. His local recommendations were exactly what we were looking for and really helped us have the best time in Austin. He was really flexible with the check out times and also offered to be on-call for whatever questions we had for him. He also called us after we left to let us know that we had left our glasses. Rob was really friendly and flexible overall, the perfect host.

The apartment was exactly as shown. Its beautiful, modern, and larger than I even expected. And the building has a pool, a parking garage, etc.

The neighborhood is about a 10 minute drive from downtown but is close to a lot of fun and lively brunch places on the weekend. So on the one had, its not close enough to anywhere to walk down any streets or anything (its better if you have a car in austin) but on the other hand, it was quiet and close to some great restaurants. 

Great stay thanks to a really welcoming host!"

I'm so glad that we chose to stay in Rob's apartment rather than a hotel. We really didn't want to leave our dog Bailey at home, and thankfully Rob was more than willing to let Bailey stay with us! When we arrived, he gave us our own personal tour of Austin. He took the time to drive us around the city, pointing out amazing restaurants, hip new bars, and lesser known areas of interest that only Austinites know of. The apartments are a brand new, modern style with up to date amenities and a pet friendly atmosphere. We took advantage of the amazing pool, the decked out gym, as well as the complimentary Starbucks served in the lobby. The apartments are in a prime location, with dozens of awesome places within walking distance and downtown only 3 miles away! Barton Springs is a must see; it's right nearby and the cold water is perfect on a hot summer day. Our only consolation is that we wish we could have stayed longer. We highly recommend Rob's place, and would definitely stay here again."

He offered local advice and even a ride from the airport, he also was flexible with a last minute reservation and my check in time. The condo was just as pictured. Clean, comfortable for 2 and lots of sunlight. :-) Rob is definitely a super host and I highly recommend anyone to book this spot."
5297037,42762694,2015-08-15,40410940,Sarah,Rob was great.  It was first time in Austin.  Not only did he give me a quick you're of Austin but he picked me up at the airport.  Place was really clean and seemed central to everywhere I wanted to go. 
5297037,45036598,2015-08-30,25739216,Joshua,Rob was a great host. The apartment is exactly as described and is in a great location on South Lamar. I would definitely stay here again.

Rob, who typically does two week rentals, not only accommodated my timeline; he also gave me a wonderful tour of the neighborhood before I moved in. While I rented his lovely home, he was very accessible and easy to reach as well."

He also gave us a ton of ideas of places to go and things to do around the area! The apartment is in the perfect location, and the facilities are all really nice. The apartment can fit quite a few people and was equipped with everything we would need and more! I would highly, highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Austin! "

5297037,51755049,2015-10-24,1365039,Laura,The location is enough close to downtown and in a nice neighboorhood. The apartament worked good to me since I was travelling for work. Rob was there for keys and always gave me prompt answers by text or email. 
5297037,52268046,2015-10-27,2278946,Andrea,Rob was a great host and had really good suggestions for our Austin experience. Conveniently located place. Very easy to access great food and downtown spots.

When our flight was delayed, he met us at the place later than he expected, even thought he had to work at 5:30 AM. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the areas and neighborhoods of Austin, and gave us great advice and suggestions. The apartment was very clean and cozy. Thank you, Rob, for making our Austin trip the best! "
8408239,49704518,2015-10-05,28507375,Riley,"The location was ideal for getting to Zilker Park and Austin City Limits. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of room for 4 guests. We only had two main concerns: First, there weren't enough sheets to comfortably sleep 4 people on 2 beds. Secondly, due to some miscommunication  about parking in a gated community, our car nearly got towed twice, requiring us to hustle a couple miles back from Zilker Park. Again, this was due to some incorrect information, so don't think it will happen for future guests. We greatly appreciated Francisco's continued communication.  He was a gracious and accommodating host. "

They have a beautiful clean house with two adorable cats. It's great if you have a car but easy to catch buses into town if you need to. A great place to stay in Austin."

Thanks guys."

The whole place is just adorable and really tidy. I didn't want to leave because it was just so cozy. Owen and Simone were so attentive and made sure we could reach them if we needed. The cats were so also a great part of our stay. We love Bob. Miette is cool too. 

Next time I'm in town I would definitely love to stay here again. Thanks you guys for being so awesome! "
7707817,52753464,2015-11-01,45088659,Joni,"Thank you, Owen & Simone! This was our first Airbnb experience and we're happy to report it was a success! We felt welcome, enjoyed our cozy space, loved that we weren't far at all from downtown for the film festival, and can't think of anything else we could have possibly needed. 

We loved meeting the cats too! Made us feel ""right at home"" as we have three, including ... two tiger cats. 

For anyone seeking a place with quick/easy access to either downtown, the airport or I-35, this was great. Quiet little neighborhood, easy parking right out front, charming accommodations, polite and helpful host!

6750571,39886586,2015-07-26,5003143,Riku,"Larissa accommodated our last-minute check-in request and the place was so well organized and clean that I wish I could leave a 6 star review. The place offered a quiet, peaceful and well air conditioned haven for me and my girlfriend - highly recommended!"
6750571,41833588,2015-08-09,929502,Mario,"     I have used Airbnb many times, both in the US and overseas and have always been very satisfied. With that said, I can honestly say that this is by far the best place I have stayed at. Everything was exactly, if not better, than the property description. It was invitingly beautiful, charmingly decorated, meticulously clean, conveniently located and enjoyably serene. Additionally, an ample room, huge closet, and comfortable bed made life easier for me after a hard days work.    Even though Larissa  was out of town during my stay, she was not only readily accessible via phone and email, but willing to answer accommodate my few requests. 
     I was a guest at the East-Side Sun Suite for 2 weeks and every day was as enjoyable  as the next. It not only literally felt like home, it WAS home. I enjoyed coming back every night. I enjoyed it so much that when I was told I had to stay an extra week, I decided not only to stay, but decided to rent another one of the suites in the house, so I could experience another part of the house. 
     This will not only be on my personal recommendation list, but my first pick on all my future visits to Austin.
     Thank Larissa for such an unexpected surprise and pleasant stay !"
6750571,43824542,2015-08-22,30286542,Ashley,Larissa was a great host. The listing is very accurate everything was just as described and pictured. The house was clean with fresh linens and towels. It has a high end kitchen and bathroom finishes. 
6750571,48571027,2015-09-27,33469889,Eunjin,"She were really nice and welcoming.I stayed their house 8 days, It was great staying.Her house was very clean and comfortable,not to  far from the downtown.I really enjoyed the Austin!!!Thank you so much!!!"
6750571,49137417,2015-10-01,20284030,Agata,"Larissa's place exceeded my expectations. It was very clean and kept to the highest standard. I met Larissa upon my arrival and she was really helpful with everything; I asked her if I can order a book to her address and she had no objections. Her place is located in a quiet area, with big grocery shops just round the corner. I would def recommend this airbnb to anyone wanting to stay in East Austin."
6750571,51465073,2015-10-20,4292405,Thomas,"Larissa's place was very nice. The room was greaat, the bed very comfortable, the bathrroom huge, and the kitchen well equipped. The location was great; we walked most places."
2710898,15354707,2014-07-07,16358366,Karla,"We booked this place for two nights but only stayed one. The price for this house is very convenient if you're ok with driving around to more central locations for entertainment. 
There were a few renovation/housekeeping issues with this place but Fiore was very flexible and accommodating, making sure we felt comfortable. 
Overall, I think this place has charm but definitely needs some more work, which the host is working on.
Based on my experience with the host, I would give it another chance in the future when the renovation projects are done."
2710898,18367010,2014-08-25,19542453,Danny,"Fiore and his family were some of the nicest people we've met in our 8 years of spending time in Austin.  They made us feel more than welcome at their place.   Their property is very charming and has a great vintage feel to it that we really enjoyed.   We also liked the kitchen, which is equipped with a gas stove, commercial dishwasher, big stainless steel sink & chef's cooking accessories.  "
2710898,20528483,2014-09-30,21460256,Katherine,"Fiore was a wonderful host with a great family! Our party of 4 had a fantastic 2 days, with comfortable accommodations, and easy access to all the fun parts of Austin. Do not be scared of the area... It's very quiet and nice at night. The place is not fancy but will provide you with everything you really need and is very much like staying in a bungalow by a lake. Beyond that, the ping pong and grill make it all the more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this airbnb to anyone visiting Austin!"
2710898,22291195,2014-11-03,12621226,Jenni,"This place provided exactly what my boyfriend and I needed which was a simple place to crash between activities in Austin during Halloween weekend. Fiore was very kind and helped us with anything we needed but he stays out of your way, his house is separate, next door. It's a separate house with a parking space of your own. It's east, but very easy to get to downtown. When you're driving there you might think it looks a little run down on that side of town but don't worry about that- it's not scary and we felt totally safe. No TV or anything but we weren't there to stay home and watch TV. Bring your laptop for Netflix if that's important to you. I would definitely stay here again. "
2710898,22941910,2014-11-18,12419598,Carrie,The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2710898,24788015,2015-01-02,14902519,Isabel,"Our stay at Fiore's guest house was just right and could not have been more perfect for our trip to Austin.  The house is very minimal and open while also being super cozy and inviting.  We loved the neighborhood.  Its very diverse and authentic feel helped us to get to know Austin intimately despite our quick visit.  The location of the house is very convenient to some of the best spots for food and culture in Austin and a short drive to downtown as well.  Fiore is a gracious host.  He is very clear with a generous and kind demeanor.  He is helpful and also very respectful of his guest's space.  We saw very little of him and the house as we were out in Austin for most of the trip, but it was a perfect and welcoming spot to return to for rest and quiet time in the mornings.  We hope to stay there again on future visits to Austin.  "
2710898,26323827,2015-02-09,8523146,Elsa,"very cosy two bedroom, ideally situated in a changing neighborhood. great place to feel what austin used to be and how it is changing. fiore was very helpful and reactive. a place to stay if you want to feel like a local! "
2710898,26749281,2015-02-18,5969062,Chadwick,"Fiore was very helpful and sociable throughout our stay. Our only issue came with the gap between what the place advertised itself as -- able to sleep four -- and what the reality was: it was able to comfortably sleep three. There's a futon that can split apart for four people, but then two of the people are essentially sleeping either without a bed frame or a proper mattress. Fiore provided an air mattress for us, which helped, but isn't what we were expectign."
2710898,28965300,2015-04-01,1195347,Dorothee + Steffen,"We had a great time staying here for a few days, a slice of "" authentic"" Austin.. wonderful Hosts too."
2710898,29683488,2015-04-11,4106163,Mary,"Fiore and his family are generous and lovely hosts. Very accommodating and helpful in many ways. The location on the East side was perfect for us, and it's very close to the airport. Felt very safe and comfortable in the little house."
2710898,30471669,2015-04-22,24523267,Dottie,"The house was very clean and comfortable. Fiore and his wife were welcoming and accommodating, and their daughter is adorable. Would definitely stay again."
2710898,32776200,2015-05-21,5580736,Eli,"* In short: worst housing experience of our lives, ever. We didn’t sleep a wink. We left after just one day, thanks to Airbnb HQ. The owners are nice people and their daughter is adorable, but I do not feel they should be leasing this place in its current condition as marketed. *

My mom and I are both professional landlords. We didn’t expect luxury or frills. But we expected a place that met the bar of the description and photos, and a host who took tangible pride in the property.

Key issues encountered:
- Photos do not capture current property condition whatsoever, and appear to be digitally blurred/masked to look nice. House interior had exceptional deferred maintenance and felt to be in extremely poor condition relative to asking price.

- All bedroom windows appeared inoperable (painted shut) - I couldn’t open a single one - unsafe in fire, probably a code violation. Air conditioning thermostat didn’t work, so house was scorching overnight.

- Safety: A big stone in the front porch steps is broken off. We did not see any working porch lighting. My mom nearly slipped twice in the tub (no safety mat or anything).

- Sanitation: Dirty oven and fridge (containing someone else’s food). Bathroom sink filter was filthy and blocked the drain. Cockroach ran around my bedroom at night (uncorrected rear exterior door threshold gap is excessive, enough for creatures to easily walk in). My mother was constantly itching all night.

- Noise: Airplanes going by until midnight, resuming 05:00.  Loud music from nearly drivers all night, easily every 15 minutes. 

- Neighborhood: Low-income neighborhood with minimal-to-no signs of visible gentification. When we came, there were piles of literal garbage on everyone’s yards. Not exactly a nice place to walk around. (Hosts were mostly upfront about this by private message, and we were peachy with that.)

As a landlord, I know things are never perfect. While the host was outwardly nice, he didn't seem to get airbnb hosts have material and specific responsibilities towards guests.

- When my mom pointed out move-in cleanliness issues, he did not even enter the property to inspect or correct.

- When we e-mailed major concerns at 2:30 AM and several times throughout the weekday morning, we did not hear anything until literally 12:05 PM.

- When we decided we were moving out and wanted a refund for remaining days, he felt it was unfair that we held his family financially accountable, asserting that nothing is “broken” or “unsafe”, that we were expecting a “manicured” home, and the real issue apparently was with us: he requires tenants who are “unfussy”. (!)

- After this experience, we also received a request by text message to not leave them a review “and certainly not an unfavorable one”.

Considering staying here still? Demand precise status updates on above issues, and insist on unblurred, current photos. Otherwise, avoid the risk — this nightmare utterly ruined the first two days of our vacation."
2710898,33332556,2015-05-26,33826751,Ashley,"My group and I really enjoyed our time in Austin. Fiore's house is less than 10 minutes from down town which was super convenient for us to go to 6th St. Five of us stayed there. One bedroom has a traditional bed and the other bedroom has two pallets. One of our friends slept on the air mattress in the living room and  had no issues with it. It's by no means the Hilton, but we didn't need much more than somewhere to crash. The shower is by no means dangerous. The hot water lasted forever.. no one took a cold shower. Like the other reviews said, they have a very charming family. I would consider staying here again."
2710898,47931309,2015-09-21,32781886,Cameron,"Fiore responded to my request which was super last minute and was  helpful when we had questions. The neighborhood might seem a little far-flung for some, but it's close enough to downtown and the Eastside, and I found the neighborhood itself quaint and relaxing. I saw another reviewer describe the neighborhood pejoratively as ""ungentrified,"" and I think if you're the sort of person that would use that adjective negatively then you probably shouldn't stay here. If you've got an open mind and aren't afraid of actual diversity then it's a nice spot. It's a verdant, shady little area with cats lazing about and chickens walking up and down the street. We had some trouble figuring out the locks on the front door, through some fault of our own, but the hosts were super empathetic and offered an extra night which we weren't able to use. We didn't meet the hosts but I can tell that they're real people, which is always important to me."
2710898,50800755,2015-10-14,29832288,Shannon,"The house was just what we needed. I had a family member at Seton Medical Center. The commute to the hospital was easy. The neighborhood was as described. 

I must though rave about how kind our host, Fiore, was. When I originally contacted him, he immediately expressed concern for my situation. He was more than accommodating and flexible. We weren't exactly sure what our situation would require so I was in contact with him and changed plans more than once. He was always so kind and willing to help in anyway possible."
2710898,51471740,2015-10-20,4265954,Lauren,"Fiore was a great host.  Very clean, spacious place with comfy beds.  Fiore gave us some great food recommendations as well.  There was some morning noise- roosters and dogs that woke us up very early.  Ear plugs did the trick. "
252804,684628,2011-11-01,222502,Cecilia,"Great location, plenty of room for 4 or more people.  Thanks!"
252804,741806,2011-11-24,706903,Peter,"Great house in Austin! 
Me and my 2 friends had a great time there. Plenty of room, newly furnished, very good washer and dryer and the best equipped kitchen I had seen in a while!
Easy $9 cab to 6th street if you want to head out at night but plently to do just around the corner. 
Easy check in with no hassles!
I would definitely stay there again if I was in Austin"
252804,828306,2012-01-02,1187947,Brian,"The house was great; it was clean, well furnished, and in a good location. "
252804,912679,2012-02-10,1246229,Elizabeth,Brooks' house was great! Pictures represent it well. I definitely recommend him!
252804,984895,2012-03-10,1544011,Ingo,"Great house. Everything as described. And nice neighborhood, too. Would have stayed longer, if it wasn't booked out allready :) "
252804,1022265,2012-03-20,1339530,Mike,"It was a real pleasure to stay in this house, which offered us everything we expected and more. As a group of unrelated male and female musicians aged between 16 and 62 visiting SXSW, we could have experienced many difficulties had things not been as described. But we were delighted to find all of the amenities expected and everyone had a great time with this house as a base. Very easy to get downtown and in an area so safe that the older members of the group had no issue with the teenagers travelling into town and to the stores on South Congress unaccompanied. So, to sum up - lovely house, all facilities, great neighbourhood, super local services."
252804,1051549,2012-03-27,1599318,Joon Ian,"Brooks' house surpassed expectations. It furnished comfortably for a party of eight. It was fully stocked with extra towels, blankets, toiletries, detergent, and even the kitchen and fridge was well stocked. 

The location is good, close to a HEB supermarket and other amenities. You can take a bus from South Congress to get around, but it's much more pleasant with a car. 

Brooks was highly communicative and attentive, and was able to resolve any questions or issues quickly and painlessly. We did not meet but I had a very pleasant experience dealing with him. 

Highly recommended! "
252804,1157613,2012-04-21,1570986,Brice,Great location. Cute place. We had a few unanticipated issues and Brooks was very responsive. We even needed to extend our stay by one day at the last minute and he was very accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting.
252804,1225293,2012-05-04,1795000,Gill,"When we arrived to Brooks' home, pure relief came over us. We were exhausted, sleep deprived and so happy to finally make it to our destination. The house was amazing. Very clean, refreshing air conditioning, and a great amount of space for all of us. The house is stocked with all the cooking equipment you need, so home cooked meals are definitely not out of reach. Also, the backyard was a nice addition for lounging, and soaking up some sunshine. 

The location of the home is great. You have a beautiful park just next door, the popular SoCo district is at your fingertips, and downtown is a short drive, or a fabulous bike ride away. I would recommend this home to anyone and everyone coming to visit Austin, TX. You won't ever want to leave. "
252804,1247231,2012-05-08,1834635,Jim,"Very comfotable space in a really nice location.


There was a minor mixup with Air BNB which Brooks helped clear up in a timely fashion"
252804,1314225,2012-05-21,1815756,Maria,"The house was clean and very accessible to restaurants and grocery 
store.  Only 5 minutes to downtown."
252804,1380783,2012-05-30,1560317,Kenneth,"Everything was where you needed it. In the house, driveway, yard, highway access. Great arrangements, full 3 bedrooms, dishes, pots, extras, fridge has trimmings & condiments,  just buy your major food at the HEB 4 blocks away. Have breakfast on the back patio with a private view of St.Edwards University across the field. Tune in the free wireless and computer to play your favorite iTunes radio,  or surf the net. Washer & dryer in the garage. Take a morning walk to the nature preserve. Car rental at Enterprise on Congress just south of 71 is half the Airport price. 
Thanks Brooks,  very intuitive of guests needs. Nice clean paint job and great artwork."
252804,1395624,2012-06-01,1327595,Jim Bob,"My family of 6 (our children are 6 - 15 yrs) had a great stay! The location was perfect for us. We wanted to explore the SoCo art and food district from close-by digs. We only live about :35 away, but it was nice having a ""home"" only :05 away from where we wanted to be.

The original plan was to go to Hamilton Pool the first morning of our stay, but a mishap on the way precluded us from that plan. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed the view of St. Edwards and the idyllic little tree-lined neighborhood. It was safe, beautiful, and convenient to where we wanted to be.

The pantry and fridge were stocked, but there was still room for us to add our own groceries and leftovers from our foodie excursions. The closet full of games and artists supplies also afforded us some memory-making downtime when we weren't exploring. The beds were comfortable, the shower great, the dishes ample, the space well-decorated, and the world map a dinner time conversation piece. We felt so at home!

If you stay at Brooks' place, we highly recommend breakfast at Gourdough's and Izzozz Tacos, then a perusal of Lovely across the street. Don't miss a family portrait in front of the ""Greetings from Austin"" mural on the side of Roadside Relics, then grab lunch at Bouldin Creek Café (the blueberry cornbread is a MUST).

There were so many places we wanted to visit that will have to wait for another trip. If Brooks' house is available, we'll definitely make it our ""second home"" again!"
252804,1518300,2012-06-19,820942,Angela,"Great location near the Soco area.  Convenient, spacious, and a great deal!"
252804,1584695,2012-06-28,2308543,Oskar,Brooks was a fantastic host with a great place in Austin. I'd highly recommend staying with him!
252804,1676382,2012-07-10,2477709,KIm,"My friends and I were visiting Austin from different parts of the country to attend a convention, we were fortunate to be able to book Brooks' place for the week!

The house was clean, comfortable and un-cluttered. There is also a washer / dryer so you can do laundry while you are there if needed.

Although we did not get to meet him in person, Brooks was a very responsive and kind host.

I would stay here again and feel comfortable recommending Brooks as a host to other renters."
252804,2032385,2012-08-19,3009591,Samantha,"Brooks' house was perfect for our group!  It was centrally located which made it very easy to navigate the city.  He was very accommodating when we needed to stay and extra night. Great, clean house and very cozy."
252804,2188417,2012-09-03,3409793,Marcos,"We stayed with another couple at Brooks' place for a night during a weekend trip to Austin.

Brooks was extremely easy to work with and very quick to respond (even with our last minute booking).

The location was very easy to find and get around.  We took cabs into downtown for about 10 dollars on Saturday night.  

His house was spacious, neat and tidy.  Cleanliness could have been better but overall I was happy with the rental."
252804,2363696,2012-09-21,3480084,Mike,Spent 4 nights at Brooks'' place and couldn't have asked for a better place.  Great vales vs. a hotel plus amazing location.  Place is near everything!!   Not to mention the beds are amazing!!   I would HIGHLY recommend staying at Brooks' place!
252804,2392893,2012-09-24,3279080,Kacie,Loved staying at this house. I would recommend it highly.
252804,2517770,2012-10-05,3725941,Sally,This house was clean and perfect for our young family. It's in a central location and staying there was ten times better than a hotel. Thank you Brooks!
252804,2525093,2012-10-06,3696590,Spencer,"Clean, vibey, Great location, the perfect stay, brooks was so helpful. I really recommend staying there"
252804,2639097,2012-10-17,1147319,Megan,"This was a cute house to stay in.  Brooks was very accomodating to my one million questions, and responding quickly to my messages."
252804,2683036,2012-10-22,3343182,Shannon,"Close to downtown, easy cab ride. The house was clean, and there was plenty of room for everyone. Ample amounts of parking as well. I would stay at this place again. "
252804,2784510,2012-11-02,2590909,Elizabeth,"This was a tremendous location and an EXTREMELY comfortable home!  It just felt 'right'! One room flows easily to the next.  The spaces of the living room, dining room, patio off the dining room, and the kitchen are 'open' and easy for conversation, and all the seating and beds are very comfortable.  With 2.5 baths and 4 women, we were never frustrated by lack of accessibility.  It had amenities galore and, had we been there longer and/or if NO ONE was familiar with the town [one of us was], we would still have been set with all the reference and tour books in the bookcase.  There was so much food in the cupboard and various kinds of spices in the rack, and types of extras in the refrigerator, that I hesitated to eat ANYTHING that was already there when we arrived, my first thought being ""Does Brooks actually LIVE here??  How does he clear out so easily and so fast!?!""  I guess he really doesn't, but with all the food available, I preferred not to take a chance!  We decided that it was likely food stuffs left behind by previous guests.  Still, we got our own and mostly ate out.  We did help ourselves for hot tea in the mornings, though.  I love the white IKEA dish set that Brooks has... and his simple, but cool, taste in decorating, a bit ethnic and 'world traveler' kinds of things for accents, yet his house has a simple, modern feel.  The HUGE world map on the wall beside the dining room table was VERY cool for us, and led us to various kinds of travel conversations.  The outside, patio table beneath the permanent awning (through the dining room glass doors) was a perfect spot for one of us who smokes [not me :)] and a relaxing spot to just sit and feel pleasantly 'in' the back yard.  The neighbourhood feels totally safe... and it's nearby to where some very interesting stores and restaurants are on South Congress... where we spent the majority of the first whole day of our brief stay.  We didn't use any of the numerous games that some adults and children will find delightful to have right there for them.  We all expressed wanting to own such a sweet and comfortable home, and even started thinking in terms of doing an airbnb in the various places where we DO live.  Will definitely continue using airbnb for future travels.  Seriously HOPING I can return to Austin one day... what a great town... and a whole lot more to see than I got a chance to see!  Seeing Leonard Cohen perform was superb, however!  Brooks was very cooperative in our communications ahead of time, so there was no need to contact him once we were there... hence, we never met.  It's clear that he expects people to be responsible and act like adults.  Would not hesitate to stay again with Brooks if I return to Austin, a delightful town.  "
252804,3823848,2013-03-18,1619320,Mark & Karen,"the house was comfortable and inviting.  easily accommodated our party of 6.  everything is as pictured/described.  Brooks made everything easy and communication with him was quick and helpful.  we took a shortcut through the campus to the nearest bus stop, which saved time and provided a scenic walk.  highly recommended - we would definitely stay here again!"
252804,3851536,2013-03-20,3799475,Seth,"Brooks was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Unfortunately we had to cancel do to unforeseen circumstances. Next time I come back to Austin with a couple more people, I'll definitely be checking for his place. He is trustworthy, in my experience"
252804,3895091,2013-03-25,3309447,Joe,"Great relaxing place! Wonderful patio view of St. Edwards. Just a couple of blocks away from the main drag of South Congress.  Stayed with 4 other friends, much better choice than getting hotel rooms.  Chill and comfy.  Brooks was organized and very easy to deal with. Highly recommended."
252804,3934187,2013-03-28,176779,Doug,"Home was first rate. Exactly as described, and in a great location. Outstanding communication from Brooks as well!"
252804,3974631,2013-04-01,4929988,Fay,"My family had a wonderful experience at Brooks's place.  The house is centrally located in a quiet neighborhood. Good size kitchen with a big backyard.  The house is also a short distance away from some great hiking trails.  House is clean, neat and an all around comfortable experience!"
252804,4084725,2013-04-08,5593295,Alex,"This was a great, clean house in a central location - walking distance to S. Congress St and a $10 cab ride to downtown.  Although I never personally met the host (Brooks), he and I did communicate via phone/text, and he was very helpful and responsive.  Four people wound up sleeping at the house, though the house probably could have comfortably accommodated two more.  No complaints!! 5 stars."
252804,4578408,2013-05-13,6034646,Linda,"We had a great time.  The house was perfect and would rent again. Brooks was quick with responses to questions.  We were visiting my older son and rented the house for us and daughter, SIL, younger son and DIL.  It was great having a place to just hang out together. I would highly recommend both Airbnb, Brooks and this house."
252804,4640765,2013-05-17,3269190,Rebecca,"Great house, as advertised, loved running on the gravel track 1 block away at St. Edwards!"
252804,4685871,2013-05-20,6117314,Roderick,The house was great! My group was in town for a wedding and it really helped that we were all able to stay together. It also happened to be UT's graduation weekend so all hotels were either booked or ridiculously high priced.  The house was in a perfect location in relation to the wedding venue.  Thanks so much again!
252804,4837946,2013-05-28,817049,Cory,Great house. Great location. Great owner.
252804,5060533,2013-06-10,6388538,Leigh,"Awesome house!!!! Perfect for a big group of people...I will definitely stay here again ;) Brooks made it super easy to get everything set up.....great house, great host."
252804,5678021,2013-07-11,6756012,Seth,"We found the house very suitable for our needs, it was comfortable and had all the stuff we needed, like dishes, towels, etc.  We had a small problem with the AC when we cranked it down, but when we were more gentle it worked OK."
252804,6133288,2013-07-31,2537077,Sara,"We had an excellent stay at this house.  It was easy to locate, just off major roads, yet in a quiet neighborhood.  We found it well-furnished and my family of 6 was very comfortable.  Brooks was quick to respond and made the whole transaction painless.  I highly recommend this house!"
252804,7385003,2013-09-17,8760744,Brian,Brooks has a great house that is very comfortable and nicely decorated.  Brooks was very easy to rent from and we had no problems whatsoever. 
252804,7472871,2013-09-21,8847072,Scott,"I was very excited based on the reviews, but unfortunately, it fell quite a bit short of my expectation.  It felt like I was staying at an older fraternity house where the beds had been made up haphazardly and the cleanliness was questionable to say the least.

It was also annoying that the central air was clearly not working as a portable unit had been placed in the master bedroom.  That room was okay, but the other bedrooms and the living area were uncomfortable.  If it had been any hotter outside (thankfully their was rain in the area) it would have been unacceptable.  

With a little touch up, it would likely be better."
252804,8079491,2013-10-15,7485974,Keira,"Not fancy, but totally functional. The house had everything we needed and was in a nice neighborhood--a little off the beaten path, but walking distance to SoCo if you're not in a hurry. One complaint: the beds are hard. I'm a firm mattress person, but those were some tough beds. And a word of advice: if you're in town on a busy weekend (we were there for ACL), make your own transportation plans, because the bus is sporadic late at night (or they had all been commissioned as ACL shuttles--we only saw one in SoCo over the course of a few late-night hours), taxis are impossible to get, and pedicab drivers will generally not go that far from downtown (or they'll charge $100/cab). Great location if you've got a car."
252804,8494896,2013-11-02,9694249,Mason,House was great. Brooks was a big help too
252804,8510922,2013-11-03,9632035,Ken,"Brooks' place was great. Clean nice and very comfortable and close to down town. We enjoyed our stay and we definitely consider going there on our next trips. I greatly recommend his place.
Ken"
252804,8811477,2013-11-19,2832961,Sean,"Great place, close to all areas of interest in Austin and easily sleeps plenty of people. We had one mishap during our stay with the AC and Brooks was quick to fix the problem while we were away at the races. Couldn't ask for better service. "
252804,9157295,2013-12-09,8752219,Amanda,I recently stayed here with a group of 5 people. It was very nice & spacious & clean. Great location. Comfortable beds. Would definitely stay here again.
252804,10437382,2014-02-18,8593106,Laura,"Great house in a nice, quiet, neighborhood location.  This was a perfect amount of space for four people staying in Austin for a weekend.  We especially appreciated the backyard with table and chairs and the washer/dryer in the garage.  

Location is close to everything on 78704 has to offer."
252804,10546627,2014-02-24,6817937,Ben,Brooks spot was convenient and a great home base for partying in Austin. Would stay again.

252804,11193226,2014-03-24,7240957,Michael & Holly,"The house was great, and everything was as advertised. Brooks was easy to contact. The neighborhood was quiet and next to a lovely liberal arts college. The house was a fairly quick walk to the cool part of South Congress. I thought it was a very good value for the money.  "
252804,11304128,2014-03-29,1670849,Levi,Brooks' house is just as clean and comfortable as it appears in his ad. He responded promptly to my communications and was polite and helpful. Our visit to Austin was a seamless experience and everyone had a lot of fun. I strongly recommend this listing to other travelers and would stay here again in the future.
252804,12288082,2014-04-28,3309637,Derek,Brooks' place was super great. Really cozy and comfy. I stayed here with a few of my friends over a weekend and it felt like home. Had all the nice amenities and everything went very smooth. Didn't get to meet Brooks but communication was super great. Highly recommend!
252804,12611142,2014-05-06,12606561,Matthew,"Great place in Austin to stay.  Within walking distance to S. Congress, and we used the bus to get downtown.  There were five of us and we were very comfortable staying in Brooks' house.  The patio was the best!"
252804,13501671,2014-05-29,1015506,Angela,Great place and fantastic location. Brooks is very easy to communicate with and a great host. The home itself is great and is well furnished and well equipped.
252804,19114447,2014-09-06,21007535,Meagan,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
252804,19564049,2014-09-14,3178541,Jojo,Spacious and actual 3 bed house. In a quiet area and a 15 min walk to the hip SoCo district as well as a supermarket down the road. Brooks went out of his way to purchase and install new air conditioning units as the current one wasn't working. Everything went smoothly and my group of friends and I enjoyed our stay at Brooks' place. 
252804,20892702,2014-10-07,15474043,Robin,"The house was in the perfect location for our group. It was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Brooks was very responsive and helpful. Would absolutely stay there again. "
252804,21274572,2014-10-14,1201818,Claire,"Brooks was exceptionally accommodating to our group and had no problem with us arriving early so that we could see more of ACL. The location of the house is ideal -- just north of St. Edwards -- and within walking distance of a grocery store, bars and restaurants, and bus routes. 

Brooks made sure we were all set for our festival weekend and I would recommend a stay here any time!"
252804,21582532,2014-10-20,1488339,William,"Brooks was great. Everything was as advertized and the place was fantastic. Great location, clean, quiet. Very comfortable."
252804,21964203,2014-10-27,17131392,Joy & Matt,"Brooks' place is ideally located, close to Soco area. There is an HEB not too far  for the groceries. The neighboorhood is really quiet. The house is well equipped  to cook. May be one thing to improve is the cleaning of the floors. All in all we had a good time at his place. "
252804,22098313,2014-10-30,19622145,Steven,Place was perfect for our group. Great location and nice yard area. Brooks was responsive and receptive to any requests.
252804,22352687,2014-11-04,11207685,David,"The house was exactly as advertised and an incredible value for an event weekend. Location is great, being a short drive to downtown with many restaurants in the neighborhood."
252804,23333124,2014-11-29,19218807,Joe,very accurate description - comfortable for the five of us.
252804,24627183,2014-12-31,25118185,Yunong,It is a good apartment and there is a  supermarket nearby. However the heating system is not working. It is freezing if you sleep here in the winter
252804,24887184,2015-01-03,15487344,Vicente,"My friends and I stayed at Brook's place during our new year's eve celebration and really enjoyed it. The house is very cozy and just as described. The only problem was that the A/C was broken so we were freezing for two days. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay and recommend Brooks as a host. "
252804,25598546,2015-01-20,4214305,Sharon,"Brooks ' house was perfect for us. I was impressed by how clean and organized it was, and how easy he made the whole process.  We loved cooking in the big kitchen and then taking the 10 minute stroll to the shops of South Congress. Highly recommended!"
252804,26311024,2015-02-09,25894725,Sarah,"Brooks was a great host! My best friend is getting married soon and we needed a place to host all of the girls for the bachelorette party. We had everything that we may have needed and he worked very well with me in changing up the check in and check out times because of certain events that we had planned that day. The house was very clean, and everything worked very well! The location is great and we had a lot of different events planned all around Austin and it seemed as if we were close to EVERYTHING! "
252804,26687690,2015-02-17,18226968,Kimberly,"My group and I had a great time at Brooks' place! We rented a car (which I recommend) and it was a very short drive to the happening part of South Congress, and just a little farther to Downtown. Brooks has fixed the heater in the house so we were toasty warm. All and all the rental was clean, comfortable, and spacious. We had everything we need for a fun and relaxing weekend! Would definitely recommend to a friend. Thanks Brooks!"
252804,26768704,2015-02-18,16512004,Greg,"Brooks was overly accommodating. He adjusted to our schedule after a small crisis. His place was very clean and a great ending to our day. 
Thanks again!"
252804,26973844,2015-02-23,16831715,Janice,Brooks was great about communicating ahead of my visit and it made the process very simple. The house was nice and clean and looked just like the pictures. Very central to downtown. Great market and Bohemian area just around the corner!
252804,27349783,2015-03-02,844532,Sarah,"Brooks' place was awesome! As described, a less than 10 minute walk to the cool part of SoCo, and close to a lot of amenities! He was super flexible with us and fantastic."
252804,27472010,2015-03-05,6757685,Heather,Brooks home was great for our band and group of six. Everything was comfy and clean and as described. Location was perfect too. Thanks again!
252804,27747758,2015-03-10,23873541,Trey,"Brooks helped me out when me and my guest were in a tough situation. Brooks' home was clean, and just as described. Would highly recommend Brooks as a host!"
252804,27814235,2015-03-12,10218988,Stephen,"Brooks place was amazing. It had every amenity of a small home and a great cozy feel. The best part was the neighborhood. Quaint suburbia, only a short walk to one of the most happening spots in Austin: S Congress ave, adorned by cafes and amazing food from all corners of the globe. this home is perfect for 3 individuals or 3 couples to have their own rooms. Having shampoo was also a lifesaver because I forgot mine (thanks Brooks!)"
252804,28249834,2015-03-21,13258300,Zach,"The House was Great! 

Perfect for what we were looking for. House was clean and well kept. No complaints at all! This was our 2nd time staying there, and we look to stay there again in the future!

Thanks Brooks!"
252804,28870689,2015-03-31,26713756,Daniel,"Thanks, Brooks, for hosting us! He has a great home near all of the amenities and is not too far away from downtown.  Was always responsive and would recommend to others!"
252804,28953289,2015-04-01,28867767,Carroll,"This is a great location for checking out the Austin life, close to restaurants and clubs. The house is comfortable and homey in a lovely neighborhood."
252804,29686622,2015-04-11,19234006,Ben,Brooks' place was great.  It's super comfy and in a good spot.
252804,30279775,2015-04-20,11460116,Kenny,House is in perfect location. Brooks was very accommodating and easy to deal with. Will definitely stay here again
252804,30800330,2015-04-27,16031806,Arnaud,Really cool house in a quiet and green neighborhood of Austin. Litterally 5 minutes from everywhere downtown. Cool house with a patio to enjoy evenings outside.
252804,31320431,2015-05-04,29229851,Celina,"Location was great! Quiet, older neighborhood!  Corner house! 
House looks like the pictures and exactly like the description! 
Quick responses and didn't have to meet the owner for key! 
Only complaint was the tall grass we were scared to hang out in the backyard because of tall grass = mosquitoes :) 
Thank you for letting us enjoy your home!"
252804,33775150,2015-06-01,28033588,Jodie,"Had the best time out in Austin. Location of accommodation was perfect for what we needed, very accessible to south congress and downtown. Even the freak weather didn't dampen our time out in Austin :) "
252804,34705970,2015-06-11,15589368,Zachary,We had a great experience in Austin for the X-games and vacation. The home was as advertised and suited us nicely. We were very comfortable throughout our stay and hope to do it again in the future. Our group was very pleased with the provided accommodations. 
252804,35134308,2015-06-15,1643359,Josh,Everything was exactly as described.  Neighborhood is nice and quiet but easy access to SoCo and downtown.  Provided our group with exactly what we needed.  Brooks was very responsive throughout.  Would definitely stay here again.
252804,41464765,2015-08-07,21300439,Chloe,"Brooks was very easy to work with. He was willing to allow my colleagues to stay under my account. Very nice place, no complaints."
252804,42218879,2015-08-11,22172430,Ad,"Brooks was a very good host and responded very quickly. The house was very nice and had lots of character. As it turns out it could have been a little cleaner as there was some dead insects around different parts of the home, as well as moth cocoons in one of the bedrooms. The grass was not cut but this was not a huge issue as we spent most of the time inside or around the city. The air condition was not a strong as we would have liked it but then again this is an older home. With that being said one of the toilets in the hallway had issues flushing. I did let Brooks know about my concerns and he was very apologetic and accommodating. If I were to plan another trip to Austin, I would definitely give this spot another try before I make a definitive decision. "
252804,43149570,2015-08-17,40545099,Kaci,"This was a great house for our group. Loved how clean it was, and how close it was to everything. We had 7 people and it fit us all comfortably! Will love to stay here again the next time we make the trip to Austin!"
252804,43563194,2015-08-20,1786562,Alex,"Brooks place was great. Getting in and out was easy, and he was easy to reach. The place was perfect for our needs, and in a convenient location."

252804,51821788,2015-10-24,46488818,Jay,"My friends and I had a great time staying here. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed and we were sad to leave when our time in Austin came to an end.

We never met Brooks, but he was very friendly via messages and regularly checked to make sure we were satisfied. Our group of four was more interested in having our own space than relying on our host for anything other than accommodation so the lack of face time was not a problem.

The location is probably best for those travelling by car: Austin's public transport system isn't fantastic and SoCo is a bit of a walk from downtown. We relied on Uber to travel further distances and the fares worked out very affordably when split between 3-4 people.

Overall this was great accommodation. Highly recommended!"
252804,52037618,2015-10-26,30017994,Bryan,"Excellent location, house was clean and Brooks was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin."

2075504,12003234,2014-04-21,13131329,Claudia,"My friends and I had an amazing stay at this beautiful house!  I was the first to arrive; I came by bus from the airport ($1) and the bus stop was a 5 minute walk from the house. Very close and convenient! 

Upon arrival, getting into the house was extremely easy - no hiccups.  Everything was outlined clearly on the handouts left for us.  Keys to the upstairs bedroom were easy to find.  The house looks exactly like the pictures.  Everything was clean and ready for us; linens and towels were easy to find.  The house was fully outfitted for all of our needs.  Warnings on any ""broken"" fixtures were left for us.  The bed I slept in was so comfortable - I didn't want to get out of it!  Very quiet neighborhood in a cul-de-sac.  Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everyone told me that they were very happy with the house and had a very comfortable stay.

The location of the house was awesome!  As I mentioned, it's close to the bus stop, only 15-20 minute bus ride to downtown, 10 min bus ride to Univ of Texas/LBJ Library.  Driving to and from the house was easy and everything was close by, including freeway access.

Loved Cherrywood Coffeehouse which was a 10 minute walk away with Monarch Market (a convenience store) right next to it.  The dining room was great for our group of 6 because we all fit at the table comfortably for our breakfasts.  Although we didn't use it, the outdoor patio/backyard was welcoming and beautiful.

Although none of us used them, it was great to know that we had a washer and dryer available to us.  My friends were happy to have the WIFI available to them for their tablets.  The TV worked great with a nice selection of channels - all the stuff I watch at home in L.A. 

Minor issues: although there was a bike for our use (which I thought was awesome), the tire was flat.  Not a deal breaker, of course, but a small disappointment.  Also, there was a car in the driveway - we never found out who it belonged to, but we had parking issues until it was finally moved (over 24 hours after our arrival).  Once the car was moved, there was room for up to 4 cars in the driveway, so we fit our 2 cars without a problem.

Despite that, our contacts for the property were very responsive to our concerns.  We were also able to request a later check out time without a problem.  We had great peace of mind knowing that we could contact them 24/7.

Overall, an amazing house and stay.  If we're ever in Austin again, we will not hesitate to book this location!  "
2075504,12609011,2014-05-06,12189715,David,A great house in a great out of the way location that is still convenient to all Austin has to offer.
2075504,13417339,2014-05-27,12764074,Sarah,"This place was great! I never saw Erica, but everyone at Turnkey was extremely responsive to our needs. There were plenty of linens and towels to go around. The neighborhood was very cute and close by to campus.

One note: 10 people between 2 toilets, and one broke. Turnkey was very quick to send a plumber. But be gentle with those toilets!

The pool in the park nearby has no water -- maybe it's closed for renovation? Just a heads up for anyone renting soon who may be expecting a pool! 

"
2075504,13955101,2014-06-09,12911760,Kent,The house was great and everything was as advertised.  When we had an issue finding the key to the separate bedroom Erica was very helpful and was willing to get an extra key to us.  Great neighborhood and great location close to UTA and great restaurants.  
2075504,18420698,2014-08-26,18580985,Alexis,"The place was absolutely adorable! The beds were especially comfortable and the outdoor space was perfect - nice and shady in the Texas summer. 

My boyfriend and I have already talked about renting this place again soon with his family. 

I will note that the (super cute) upstairs bungalow doesn't have its own bathroom, so my girlfriends up there had to come outside to use the bathroom in the night, which is a bit inconvenient. 

But otherwise, the house was absolutely perfect!

"
2075504,18893687,2014-09-02,2225433,Dan,"The host was great with communicating up to and during the stay. They called to check in the first day to ensure we were taken care of. All the instructions were accurate, which made the stay very smooth. Every time we've called to ask a question, they answered quickly and were helpful.

The back porch area was a huge plus. Firepit in the summer? Why not! 

There are 3 full/queen beds and 2 futons, which can sleep 10 people max."
2075504,19362379,2014-09-11,4939971,Sandra,The neighborhood is nice.  The listing is accurate.  Overall it was a nice stay.   (Although we were surprised by having only half a roll of toilet paper in the whole house when six of us arrived around mid-night.  The host credited us $3 after we complained about that the next morning...)  
2075504,22605193,2014-11-10,5363685,Adrian,"A couple of friends and I visit Austin every fall for a music festival. This charming home was the perfect place for us to enjoy our festival weekend. Plenty of space and user friendly in regards to check-in/out. Whenever I had a question, I could reach our hosts 24/7. I definitely had a positive experience. "
2075504,28071479,2015-03-17,14207098,Kyle,The checkin checkout was very easy. The place was nice and I really liked the SONOS.
2075504,29991589,2015-04-15,26070586,Asr,"A cozy house in a quiet neighborhood.  Conveniently located, close to Downtown Austin, the airport, trendy restaurants, and major highways.  There is room for improvement with the amenities, but it's great for the price, and nothing detracted from the positive experience.  I recommend it."
2075504,31338103,2015-05-04,8479842,Emily,"This home was perfect for a girls' weekend getaway.  Cute, cozy and central location to all things Austin. "
2075504,36537195,2015-06-29,32797542,Erica,"The house was a cute home.  It really had an Austin feel to it.  The only things were that some of the cupboards were a little old and one was falling apart and needed some fixing, and some of the lighting did not work so it was hard to see at times.  It was nothing major that ruined our trip tho, we still enjoyed ourselves.  The house was spacious enough for our group and it was very close to where we needed to go and everything we needed was available at the home."
2075504,45198971,2015-08-31,7831278,Brici,"loved the house it was spacious enough for our group of people,the beds and pillows were comfy. i loved the code option to open the doors, so much easier to come in and out with such a large group, but we did see about 3 dead giant roaches, and a couple of spider webs, the towels weren’t fresh so upon arriving we did throw all of them in the washer. 

a group of us girls stayed in the outside upstairs room and At around 3am coming back from 6th street the neighbor came to the door, he was not sober and had a beer bottle in his hand, and asked if we were having an after party and we said no and shut the door quickly. that was such a scary experience for us, i opened the door because i thought it was someone from our other group that was staying in the rooms inside the house. Its just scary to think that the neighbor was out there watching us, not the host fault of ofcourse, 

We played board games in the dining area but weren’t there too long because that area was so hot, i would suggest to put a lighted ceiling fan there instead of just a hanging lamp.


"
2075504,48671032,2015-09-28,13192731,Sarah,"This was a perfect cozy house for my sister's bachelorette party this last weekend. It's an older house so it has its quirks, but I love a house with character. The management company TurnKey was very helpful when we had any issue with the house they were quick to respond by phone and come over to the house. "
2075504,51376339,2015-10-19,9535100,Laura,"The apartment appears to be many years older than the photo displays. Though the photos are ""accurate"" the house feels about 20 years old than the photos look. The place is situated in a nice area if you are hoping to be in Northeast Austin - which we were for a family gathering - but is far from downtown. We had several issues with lights not working, the TV not working, small and dirty bathrooms, and a startling cockroach encounter in the kitchen. Although it wasn't unbearable, it was less than ideal and certainly less nice than the other AirBNB and Turnkey stays that I have had. "

The location was great, close to the springs, to downtown, lots of parking. This was our first time in Austin and staying there made it very enjoyable. I would recommend staying there to anyone. Definitely would stay there again."
8389620,49519883,2015-10-04,40887629,Brice,"Jennifer was an excellent host during our stay at ACL in Austin! Not only was she very accommodating, she was also very responsive to any questions or concerns raised. As a result, our time in Austin was outstanding! 
The apartment was clean, very well kept, and beautifully furnished. It exceeded expectations and was in a perfect location to go to and from ACL. I couldn't have wished for anything better. 
I highly recommend this listing to anyone visiting the Austin area and its festivals. Thank you again Jennifer!"
8389620,50669782,2015-10-13,44381493,Brandon,"Jennifer was a great host. Her pad is a nice clean split level 1 bedroom, everything you need. She made sure to leave us lots of instructions and recommendation for the neighbourhood (including the best breakfast tacos in town). The apartment complex is full of friendly, awesome people and there's a little grocery/deli right across the street.

Downtown is only a short 5-7 dollar cab/uber, but there's lots of stuff in the area too. The place is well situated to check out Austin, and is walking distance to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, trails and cool places in and around South Austin. 

We had a great time. Our host was great, the neighbours were great, the stay was great. Thanks Jennifer!"
3032156,13383733,2014-05-26,11279668,Chilee,"The pictures do not do this little cottage justice.  Very modern and up to date, beautiful decor with home touches.  Very very clean and had all the amenities we needed as described on the website. We stayed 2 nights , When we arrived we sat outside on the balcony  and had our bottle of wine that Susana  had left for our arrival, the view was spectacular and we started our evening with an amazing sunset.  The location was perfect, not far from south congress or down town.

Susana was very prompt with all our questions , and the check in was a breeze. She was also great with suggestions on things to do while in Austin. 

I highly recommend , and will definitely be staying here again.  

"
3032156,20228863,2014-09-26,17659739,Adrian,"We love this place! Perfect location, beautiful comfortable home with a wonderful view. Susana offered us a choice of wine or beer, she left us a tasty 6 pack of craft beer that was perfect after a day of traveling. Susana responded quickly with the few questions I had. 

Check-in and check-out is a breeze. The kitchen had everything we needed as we cooked several meals there. All appliances are in fine working condition.

Adding to the previous guest's comment, the photos don't do this home justice. The design, decor and furniture are beautiful. We were thoroughly impressed when we checked in. 

We stayed for a week an had an absolute blast in Austin. It was reassuring knowing that we had a comfortable place to rest between adventures. Three of us stayed comfortably here, another would have fit perfectly.

We would love to return! :) Thank you Susana!"
3032156,28295875,2015-03-22,21763700,Koos,"Great house! Great neighborhood. Nice restaurants, bike rentals, amazing juice bar. With a bike your in the city in minutes. 

Internet is great, all thinkable amenities are in the house.

Great view of the city with a great balcony and big garden with BBQ."
3032156,31611366,2015-05-07,4976916,Steve And Mariana,Susana!  We enjoyed your place so much!  I think we spent all our time (except when sleeping) on your terrace!  We would definitely like to stay at your place again on our next business trip to Austin.  Thanks for such a beautiful place!  Steve & Mariana
3032156,51130660,2015-10-18,605977,Kay,We had a wonderful time in the apartment.  Everything was in working order.  The apartment is well maintained.  The view of the Austin skyline was spectacular.  We would stay here again.
5373905,28046848,2015-03-16,28947813,Samuel,"Ashley was great, she was very welcoming and had plenty of sheets, pillows, water and towels ready for us.  My trip to SXSW was very short and were in and out of the apartment. Nonetheless, we were able to chat for a bit and Ashley was an entertaining host.  Safe area, very walkable - I recommend Boulkin Cafe up the road for brunch and great coffee.  Highly recommend."
5373905,28358939,2015-03-22,4260430,Kate,Great host and great place to stay.
937600,28260547,2015-03-21,27788772,Adam,"Jim was very hospitable from the beginning, making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay there.  The house was unique and was very close to downtown Austin.  It was a great find and I highly recommend it to anyone trying to experience Austin at its best!"
2677765,14328562,2014-06-16,6342175,Liana,"Will's place was great, located very close to UT and all the fun shops, restaurants and cafes that surround the area. Public transportation to the downtown area is also easily accessible. Will was very helpful and easy to reach by both phone and text, and the condo was the perfect size for me and my two friends for a weekend visit to Austin. Definitely would stay there again."
2677765,15552871,2014-07-11,17430734,Katie,"Great place to stay!  Was a really great location, close to campus and a very short drive to downtown.  The condo was as advertised and a really great size.  Both bathrooms were really nice and new appliances.  Living area had nice couches and a nice TV with access to Netflix.  Kitchen was great, but could use a few more kitchen supplies so that cooking in the condo would be more enjoyable.  Really enjoyed our stay and would definetly stay again."
2677765,17707534,2014-08-16,19133033,Maggie,"Will was a great host, very flexible and accommodating for myself and one other guest. We loved the apartment as well as the surrounding neighborhood - a very convenient location for anybody visiting in Austin! Thanks!"
2677765,22295346,2014-11-03,1926323,Ramona,The host provided a detailed e-mail with information about the unit; which was very helpful.  He sent me a nice message prior to my departure and his condo fit the description. 
2677765,24989185,2015-01-04,25302590,Mitchell,"Will was a great host.  He was quick to respond to emails, and the apartment was as described.  It was very clean, included a kitchen, and the Wifi worked well.  The area itself is great - just a few blocks from campus."
2677765,28077234,2015-03-17,11013753,David,"Place was what we needed, when we needed it. A small hiccup (room was not cleaned when we arrived) was taken care of by the Airbnb team on site.

Although Will was not in town, he made sure to stay in contact with us until he knew the issue was resolved.

I would certainly come back to this place again. (and walking distance to my new love: Torchy's Tacos)."
2677765,43129055,2015-08-17,5786088,Olga,Such a great place. Two nice sized bedrooms with their own bathrooms and super comfy beds. Will was a very responsive and gracious host. Would definitely stay here again. 
2677765,44030284,2015-08-23,34851174,Joanna,This air bnb experience was great and extremely convenient. The trip we made to Austin was to help my brother move into the university and being that it was very close was helpful. The apartment itself was very clean and was comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet throughout the night which is a plus while traveling. Would recommend to others looking for a place close to the campus. 
2677765,45887985,2015-09-06,12087005,Armando,Will was a great host and the home was very well maintained. Will was very quick to respond to my messages and ensured that we were comfortable in our stay. The neighborhood was nice with many places to go within walking distance.
2677765,46794579,2015-09-13,30676479,Anne,"I had a great time staying in this condo! I stayed in it with a colleague during a recruiting trip to UT Austin.

While I didn't meet with Will in person (which was fine), he sent a very detailed guide to the apartment, with instructions and photos for where the keys were, how to get in through the gate, the wifi password, etc. He was really responsive over message, so when I had questions, he promptly answered them, and checked in with me to make sure I arrived okay.

The apartment itself was great -- super nice to have working AC during a hot week in Austin, as well as overhead fans. Having two separate bathrooms was also really great for two people. All the appliances were in fine working order, the laundry was convenient, and as a tall person, I appreciated the very tall shower head! The neighborhood was pretty quiet, except what sounded like a rooster crowing randomly throughout the day. No issues with safety.

Some fun notes: the book collection is eclectic. You can read about startups followed by the art of decluttering. There are some cool hole-in-the-wall restaurants in walking distance (Go Go Gourmet, a hippie Texas home cooking place, is almost across the street and Taco Joint is a couple blocks away), as well as a convenience store. Really close to the Drag and campus.

I would definitely stay here again, and recommend it if you are traveling for business (or just for fun)! The only reason I would skip it is if you have an injury and can't walk up three flights of stairs to get to the apartment."
2677765,47684695,2015-09-21,5245637,Kevin,"Will was very responsive from start to finish and he was accommodating to my early check in request.  I took a redeye flight out of SFO and arrived in Austin at 9am and he let me check in around 10:30 which let me catch a few, much needed z's.

The apartment was very clean and as described in the posting.  I was in town for a football game and this place was walking distance to the stadium and a quick Uber to everywhere else. Fantastic host and fantastic apartment."
2677765,48545404,2015-09-27,5153331,Mark,Great space that's walking distance to the UT campus. We really enjoyed staying at Will's condo and would definitely stay there any time we visit Austin!
2677765,49788942,2015-10-06,42091568,Daryn,"Will was a great host! The condo was amazing - clean with a lot of added amenities including games, extra water canteens, etc. The place was as described if not a little better - the rooms were a great size, beds were comfy, and the bathrooms were clean and had cool designs. The neighborhood was great for us (mid-20's). A lot of great places were in walking distance including food, coffee, and an awesome grocery store. I would definitely consider staying at Will's again for the next time I plan on visiting Austin!"
2677765,50445566,2015-10-12,16838867,Katelin,"Will was always available when we had questions, really nice 2 bedroom! We had a great time at ACL :-)"
2677765,51121083,2015-10-18,6981949,Veronica,"Will was quick to respond to my questions, easy to communicate with, very good follow up. I so appreciated the detailed instructions and pictures he sent prior to our stay. It covered any possible question I might have had about checking in, amenities, etc. The apartment is exactly as pictured - very clean, neat, good sized rooms, well appointed kitchen and convenient to UT. The unit is on the 3rd floor but well worth the walk up as the high, sloping  cathedral ceiling made the place feel very spacious. The beds are so very comfortable, even the deep couch in the living room was comfortable to sleep on. So nice to have 2 bathrooms - love the rain shower head! The neighborhood felt very safe, bus conveniently stops in front of complex if we needed it. Having 2 parking slots available was a big plus as we ended up taking 2 cars down. Being an avid reader myself, I enjoyed seeing his eclectic book selection from Dr. Seuss to business topics. I ended up finishing a  murder mystery and re-reading Sherlock Holmes. We would love to stay here again for future visits!"
2677765,52215415,2015-10-27,31039522,Adam,"Will's place was fantastic for our recent 5 day stay in Austin. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do, especially for the college. We felt at home in the appartment which was neat, tidy and exactly as the photos depicted. There was only two of us who stayed in the condo, but it would comfortably accomodate four people. Will was always very helpful and we would definitetly stay here again if we return, and recommend to anyone travelling here."
233930,810554,2011-12-28,1461362,Dan & Lisa,"This place was amazing!!  Beautiful, CLEAN, comfortable (luxurious even), GREAT location.  Pete has thought of everything in terms of furnishings and amenities.  Totally professional through and through!  Would HIGHLY recommend to everyone!!"
233930,923157,2012-02-15,1574868,Edie,"The apartment is immaculate and the neighborhood is wonderful. I loved  the local eateries especially Quack's Bakery, which is a short and pretty walk away. If you want to be in Austin but be able to escape the honkytonk noise at the end of the day this place is for you. Wake up to birdsong a short cab ride from downtown.

Peter was very helpful and responded immediately whenever we had any questions. I highly recommend this place."
233930,949006,2012-02-26,1671148,Daria,"Pete's house is located in beautiful Hyde Park, a few short blocks from several restaurants, stores and bakeries. The house is simply but tastefully outfitted and spotlessly clean resulting in a restful, serene environment. The house is located on a quiet block with minimal traffic. The firm, comfortable beds made each night a  restful one. There was cable t.v. in the living room, and wireless internet available as well. Although we were not cooking, there was a fully functional kitchen had we been inclined to do so. This was a great place to stay, someplace I plan to return to when I visit Austin next. 
"
233930,1001702,2012-03-15,444646,Anthony,"Pete was a great host. He was always available for anything we needed and the list he provided was as extensive as any guidance you would get from a standard hotel.

I look forward to reaching out to him for accommodations any time myself or my team are in the Austin area."
233930,1017674,2012-03-19,1741893,William,a fabulous stay! many thanks
233930,2195255,2012-09-04,54770,Amanda,Perfect Labor Day weekend in Austin. My husband and I came to Austin for the very first time and met up with my BFF and her husband. Pete's place was so perfect for us! My only suggestion would be to add more mirrors in the house as we could have used them for getting ready! There's only one in the very cute bathroom with the adorable claw foot tup. The shower head is very pleasant but I did have to be careful how I exited the tup-its very high up! I did a load of laundry downstairs which was very convenient. We didnt really cook (too much good food in Austin!!)but loved having the kitchen and fridge for some refreshments. The living room was so cute and comfy. The neighborhood is extremely quiet and within walking distance to an awesome cheese shop and great coffee. I really want to go back!
233930,6536526,2013-08-16,7346072,Rachael,Reserved Pete's house for some friends who were visiting from Japan. Excellent place! Very clean and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend it next time I have out-of-town visitors.
233930,9533650,2014-01-01,10868396,Trina,This was such a cute little place! Pete was a lovely host and very organized. He answered all of my questions (via email but offered his phone number) in a prompt and timely manner. I would highly recommend any of his places!
233930,13935927,2014-06-08,16190930,Erin,"The home was lovely!  Everything was impeccably cleaned and perfectly stocked for our extended stay.  It was truly a home away from home.

Pete is responsive and helpful and will answer any questions you may have.

We thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood and spent the weekends walking to buy cheese, lunch, baked goods, coffee, and dinner.  

It was a wonderful place to stay!!!!"

233930,30506991,2015-04-23,20066168,Martin,"This was my second stay at the Treehouse, and it's a very pleasant apartment.  Very comfortable, spacious, lots of character.  And Hyde Park is a lovely neighbourhood."
233930,41267030,2015-08-05,4266645,Pie,Great place and location. Very clean. Would definitely return!
233930,43862311,2015-08-22,41369540,Edward,"Walking distance from grocery stores, cafes, and restaurants even in the Texan summer heat.  Very clean, two giant rooms with beds, and even a cozy little balcony to sit and relax on warm nights. 

Hyde Park is an awesome part of Austin.  Cute neighborhood.  Would recommend Spider House for drinks and food which is a $5 Uber ride away from this property.   

Easy check in, easy check out, Pete was very responsive and I never had to wait long before he got back to me.

Thanks again!"

"
5003467,31061291,2015-05-01,4394783,Coraly,Sandra was awesome!!!!  She's friendly and welcoming.  The place is conveniently located super close to downtown and in a great area of town. There's are tons of restaurants and bars within walking distance of her place.  if you choose to drive there's a driveway that pulls in right to the front of her place which is super convenient. We got to attend an ACL taping together and had a blast together. I look forward to hanging out with her when I make my move there next month!!!! 
5003467,31752779,2015-05-09,6804000,Bradley,The room was comfortable and Sandra very helpful and accommodating.  It was literally a 5 minute walk to the bus station which took us downtown and to UT.  We'd definitely go back.
5003467,32288499,2015-05-16,10593395,Julio,"Our stay at Sandra's place was really pleasant. She was super nice and accommodating. We did not see her much but she gave us instructions on how to go about checking in if she was not home. Her cat Toby was awesome, very relaxed just beware, he like to hide in the bathroom if it is raining lol."
5003467,33030624,2015-05-24,18463729,Jan,"I found Sandra to be conscientious and polite.  She stayed in contact with me and provided nice perks during my stay.  Seriously, who can negotiate without coffee asap in the am?  The french press pot and coffee hit the spot.  The neighborhood is classic Austin - eclectic!  Although I was barely two blocks off of  a very busy street there was no noise and I slept well.  

This was a room rental and I was so fortunate to have a host that kept quiet hours.  

Super bonus is having off street parking!"
5003467,33415483,2015-05-27,33997963,Gandhi,"Sandra is a very good host. I enjoyed my last trip to Austin, this place very close with public transportation. And I enjoyed the room also, it was nice. Thx Sandra for let me stayed there."
5003467,41162124,2015-08-04,24269031,Monique,"Me and my friend were in love with Sandra's place--it was so cute. More importantly it was clean, comfortable, and in an AWESOME location (close to everything we did). Sandra was away for most of our trip which caused a few hiccups in communication but nothing major. She was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating when we needed anything. All in all, a great host and a great place. She also has a great cat that I loved. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone going to Austin :) "
5003467,43187393,2015-08-17,26332862,Ashley,"Sandra was very accommodating. She happened to be away at the beach when I contacted her and wasn't sure she would be home in time to accommodate the check-in. I told her I *really* wanted to stay at her place and didn't mind checking in a little later if that was OK with her! She was super easy going, the place was clean and super adorable. The bedroom was cool, comfortable and modern. Perfect getaway for a great weekend. "
5003467,44237037,2015-08-24,41549475,Sharath,"Good place to stay and very good host to trust. Thanks for hosting me, I loved the stay.  "
5003467,46180122,2015-09-08,41381710,Brittany,Sandra was very welcoming by leaving a nice note for us when we got there. We arrived earlier than expected and the room was ready to go for us!

5003467,50617359,2015-10-13,35910133,Rachael,"Sandra's home was perfect for our trip to ACL! It was in an awesome neighborhood within walking distance of the festival and tons of yummy food, like Torchy's and Gordough's. She was very accommodating for our kind of wacky schedules during the weekend and we loved that we were able to get some kitty time in as well. Thank you so much for letting us crash for the weekend! "
5003467,51362516,2015-10-19,33133620,Tina,"Sandra was a great host! She was always available when I had questions, the room was super cozy, and we had a lot of fun with the cat too. The location was also a huge plus. We went to a few bars in her neighborhood, a great diner, and downtown is a short uber ride away. Barton springs is also really close by, which was one of my favorite parts of our trip. I would recommend Sandra's place to anyone!"
5003467,53038678,2015-11-03,35699086,Collin,The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5003467,53050689,2015-11-04,13876703,Patricia,Sandra's place is exactly as described: cute and comfy but what we loved most was that it was extremely convenient! It's about 10 min driving to downtown with easy access to a lot of the popular food spots/neighborhoods. There were nights where we just walked to dinner because it was just that close. Sandra was very sweet/friendly and helpful in recommending places we should check out during our stay. We also loved Tobie the cat who was there to greet us every time we came home. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Austin!
4983068,50621878,2015-10-13,38408211,Dave,"Cara is awesome, and her place is actually better than advertised!  We needed a place close to Zilker Park for ACL, and Cara's place was perfect.  Furthermore, it was close to SoCo restaurants, bars, and shopping.  And convenient to grab groceries at HEB nearby.  Cara was super responsive in taking the reservation and made sure when we landed in Austin that it was a smooth, fast entry.  The place is actually quite large with a nice open kitchen / living room area.  And the balcony is set up to hang out overlooking the Austin skyline!  We will definitely stay here again should the need arise."
2171217,9823992,2014-01-12,4766376,Shasta,"Marcos was a most gracious host.  We felt very much at home and very welcomed.  He's very friendly and easy to talk with.  It felt more like staying with a friend than a total stranger.  The bed was comfortable.  And you are just a short drive from downtown, so it's a very convenient location."
2171217,10122474,2014-02-01,11412878,Dale,Marcos is a very friendly enguaging person who make me feel right at home from the start.  He is very dependable and always concerned the I felt comfortable in the environment.  I recommend him to all who are looking for a nice place to stay.
2171217,10352601,2014-02-15,318034,Matt,Marcos was a great host and made us feel welcome.  
2171217,10643791,2014-03-01,11706685,Adam,"I stayed with Marcos for 12 days. The location is great, I did not have a car and I was able to walk to the grocery store, the public library, many good restaurants, and to the bus stop. Marcos was happy to talk to me or to leave me alone whichever I preferred. He was very generous (helped with laundry, blew up an air mattress when I had a friend visit) and interested in making my visit a good one, and it was!"
2171217,11978211,2014-04-20,1822943,Michelle,"We only stayed with Marcos for one night, but I wish we could have stayed longer! He's a very friendly guy and goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home.

He's lived in Austin for a long time and knows the city very well and he had some good suggestions for us during our short stay. The location is good and very central to a lot of areas like south congress, 6th street and downtown.

The room itself is set up well with a double bed and desk. We appreciated being able to use the kitchen to make breakfast too.

All in all, it was a short but sweet stay. I would recommend others to stay with Marcos as he's a very nice guy and the price for the location is very fair. Thanks again!"
2171217,12319323,2014-04-28,2983166,Shannon,"Marcos was a fantastic host. He made sure we felt comfortable during our stay and made himself available to us, giving us some great suggestions! His house is in a prime location and is very clean and comfortable. I would recommend staying here if in Austin!
"

We wish nothing but the best of luck and recommend if you're looking for a place to rest your head, he's an awesome host. Thank you Marcos for having us!"
2171217,13124851,2014-05-19,9451457,Maria,"Marcos was a very hospitable host with a delightful personality! He is very easy-going and immediately invites you to make yourself at home. We were met with great conversations and great recommendations on where to eat and things to do. He's been in Austin for over 3 decades, so he is very knowledgeable about the history and area. His house was very clean and very charming. He provided water bottles in the bedroom before we arrived and made coffee for us every morning. He was very accommodating, but not at all intrusive. I will definitely look him up again when I visit. "
2171217,13297010,2014-05-24,9016971,Trent,"Marcos is the PERFECT airbnb host, and a super awesome guy to boot!! This is exactly the way airbnb should work - completely hassle-free. Marcos goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable in his fantastic home which is an a really good location, only 5 mins from SoCo. A+++ Thanks so much Marcos, I look forward to staying with you again soon mate... 8)"
2171217,13373482,2014-05-26,11627200,Jo,"I completely agree with previous comments. Marcos is a great host, very welcoming, knowledgable about Austin. He is there for a chat, or leaves you be if you like that. I had a great time."
2171217,13622163,2014-06-01,11280639,Emily,"Marcos was a great host! He made us feel right at home and gave us great suggestions on where to go. The house is close to S Congress shops, and with a car, every neighborhood is easy to get to! Everything about staying at Marc's was easy, which is perfect when traveling. Thank you for everything Marc!

2171217,14406312,2014-06-18,14164318,Nat,"Marcos made our stay in Austin really comfortable and enjoyable. We were offered fresh coffee each morning, snacks and full use of the kitchen, a clean, spacious room and some really interesting conversations throughout our stay. Marcos is one of the best hosts we have had the pleasure of staying with during our travels in the USA. His house is located right next to two major streets that lead into the city, both of which are packed with excellent (and famous) bars and restaurants. Marcos, thank you for such a lovely time!"
2171217,14710312,2014-06-24,605852,Michelle,Marcos was a great host! He was very friendly and helpful but also completely unobtrusive. It felt like we had the house to ourselves. The location of his house is fantastic as well!
2171217,15010228,2014-06-30,184273,Julie,We had a great time at Marcos's house. It was close enough to the city for us to walk into downtown and didn't have to worry about parking (we like walking). We also borrowed Marcos's bikes and cycled around Ladybird Lake and the city. Marcos is a super friendly guy and we really enjoyed chatting with him. He gave lots of helpful advice on places to go and made us feel extremely welcome in his home. Highly recommended. 
2171217,15189235,2014-07-04,11574723,Lucy,"Marcos was the most wonderful host from start to finish. He was so helpful with local info, incredibly generous, very flexible and welcoming and a really interesting person.

The room was absolutely perfect, incredibly clean and very spacious. We also had use of all the facilities- washing machine, well-eqipped kitchen etc. It's well connected to transport and you have the added bonus of two bikes that saved us a fortune and were a wonderful way to get around delightful Austin.

I couldn't recommend Marcos and his room more. "
2171217,15340604,2014-07-07,16497620,Maximilian,I stayed with Marcos during the 4th of July weekend. He was a great host. Very nice and comfortable stay. :)
2171217,15600587,2014-07-12,726064,Grace,Marcos was an excellent host! He made sure we felt right at home from the minute we arrived and was a pleasure to talk to. The room itself was nice and big and comfortable- would highly recommend staying here! 
2171217,16190593,2014-07-22,11551717,Peter & Jessica,"Marcos was a wealth of information on things to do in Austin. He was friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. The room was clean and exactly as it looks in the photo. The house was located within walking distance of delicious food trucks on South 1st, which was great. We felt safe walking and/or biking all around on the well-maintained bikes Marcos lent me and my sister.  "
2171217,16379106,2014-07-26,2441670,Maloury,Marcos was a great host from the moment we arrived. We immediately felt at home in Marcos' house which is central to all the best parts of Austin. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend staying in this beautiful neighborhood. 
2171217,16859526,2014-08-03,3126972,Michael,"Marcos was a fabulous host. I felt welcome even before I arrived as communication was very smooth. The bedroom was just what I needed, comfortable and quiet. The home is in a great neighborhood of Austin and close to all the fun - restaurants and music venues. Really enjoyed meeting and chatting w/Marcos - very personable and friendly. I had a fabulous stay. "
2171217,17078337,2014-08-06,15323145,Melissa,"Marcos was the nicest guy and treated us like family. We arrived late but he was very accommodating and we did not feel pressured to rush. He suggested many different places to see during our short stay in Austin and even offered bikes for us to use. The house is close to South Congress and 6th Street, which was especially important when we had to spontaneously rush back out (via car) to see the bats fly out from under the bridge at sunset."
2171217,17456147,2014-08-12,10335401,Haider,"Marcos is an incredibly friendly and welcoming person who made our trip in Austin very special. He made us feel very comfortable and at home for the 5 nights we were there. He is truly one the most genuine people I have met and I would highly recommend staying at his place!

The location was central - South Congress and South 1st are mere minutes away. He even rented bikes out to us. This was more like staying at a good friends place as opposed to renting from a stranger. 

I loved everything about my stay and Austin experience, in large part due to Marcos. Don't ever change! You're a good man."
2171217,18202812,2014-08-23,3014650,Edith,"Marcos is the perfect host! He is super hospitable, and had great conversations. I know that next time I'm in Austin  will definitely be staying with him. Thank you for everything!"

2171217,18894132,2014-09-02,19183379,Soumya,"The listing was very true to its description - comfortable and cosy space. Marcos was a fantastic host - he was kind, laid back and made us feel super comfortable. Would definitely recommend his space to anyone who wants to have a great time at Austin. He was very welcoming and was very knowledgeable about Austin (having lived there all his life) - he can talk about a variety of topics and was a very engaging conversationalist. Kudos to him :)"
2171217,19207202,2014-09-08,127886,Corinne,"Marcos was one of the best hosts! He was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, bathroom had toiletries available for use, and his home is less than a mile from everything! Wish we had more time in Austin, Marcos gave lots of great suggestions for places to go to/eat and things to do. We would definitely come back to Austin and stay with Marcos. Huge plus--hot pot of coffee always available :)  "
2171217,19562928,2014-09-14,11038817,Vamsee,Marc was fantastic. Really helpful and wanted nothing but his guests to feel comfortable. Great guy and a comfy room. We are staying with Marc the next time we come to Austin for sure!
2171217,20334212,2014-09-28,5926431,Brandon,"This was a great find. Marcos was very thoughtful and seemed to genuinely want me to feel at home and have a great stay. The room and home were clean and comfortable. The neighborhood and area in general felt safe. It was also a good location because like the description states, it's pretty close to downtown. Highly recommend!"
2171217,20876776,2014-10-06,21466861,Eudiel,"Marcos is a great host, he has an amazing place and really makes you feel at home. He is very friendly and is very easy to get along, also is prepared and helpful in case you need information on different attractions. Monica and I are definitely coming back with Marcos next time we are in town, we had a great time this ACL14 at Marcos place, thank you."
2171217,21014350,2014-10-09,11379539,Davis,"Marcos was an excellent host and very welcoming with his home! He's a long-time Austin resident and offered up some great tips. The neighborhood was awesome as well - SoCo and S. 1st are right around the corner. The bike rentals were awesome, and gave us the opportunity to explore other parts of town. It was very close to major bus routes as well. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
2171217,21658567,2014-10-21,11881492,Judy,"Cozy, comfortable, peaceful, quiet, convenient and secure...with a most lovely host.  I will be back!!!

2171217,22479301,2014-11-07,1623261,Sebastian,"The reviews don't lie - Marcos is a wonderful, warm host who has the art of Airbnb down pat. From the moment he opened the door we were made to feel supremely welcome and spoilt by his generosity. He provided a map of the area, tips on just about anything, and more Halloween candy than we could handle. For the unprepared or novice traveller, Marcos also has more toiletries than a Hilton suite, if not an entire Walgreens.  

Marcos is a lovely human being and an enthusiastic conversationalist.  My brain is richer for having met him and I now know more about everything from the Founding Fathers to psychedelic rock!  Fantastic stay - thank you Marcos!"
2171217,22659936,2014-11-11,10996550,Faye,"Marcos is a lovely host, who aspires to ensure that his guests are comfortable and feel at home. Marc was immediately welcoming - he sat us down on arrrival and made us coffee and a snack, and was very interested in hearing about our trip and life back home. The room is a good size, and features full-size mirrors; in the bathroom Marc has little extras in case guests have forgotten anything; the kitchen is well-stocked and Marc was happy to share items in the fridge. The house is situated on a nice, leafy, quiet street - 5 mins walk to a massive supermarket, 5 mins to the 1st st bus stop (taking you downtown; also straight to the greyhound station, which takes 50mins on the #10 bus - buses only cost $1 too!!), and a 10 min walk to the main parts of s1st and s congress streets. Marc has interesting stories to tell about his time in the film and tv industry, and we really enjoyed hanging out with him watching football and movies!"
2171217,22818063,2014-11-15,21380609,Irene,"Marcos was a very kind and caring host.  It was great to be so close to the activities on South 1st and South Congress Streets (don't worry, he has a map), but in a neighborhood setting.  He made it a warm visit--despite the unseasonably cold Austin weather! "
2171217,23163606,2014-11-24,22917709,Julianna,"Marcos was very welcoming upon arrival, provided a map of the local area, and offered recommendations. My visit was brief and I was not in his home much, but the room was as described and a great value for the location. The bathroom was shared and Marcos was very accommodating to my morning schedule. This was much appreciated as I was in Austin for a wedding (more prep work than usual ;) ). Marcos was also very helpful in offering amenities when I was not feeling well. Overall a very kind host in an excellent location."
2171217,24032111,2014-12-17,11248236,Douglas,I had a very pleasant stay. Marcos is a gracious and kind host and a super guy. Loved the location and the comfy bed as well!
2171217,26020084,2015-02-01,17578,Chris,"Marcos' home is a ""put your feet up"" place. The room was cozy, had the books my friends and I would read, and a hand-written note welcoming me. He is a very gracious, gentle host genuinely interested in your comfort. Whether you need Me Time or local suggestions or feel like chatting, he seems to intuitively know how to help. His place seemed popular with back-to-back bookings (I also extended my stay), and he treated everyone with the same kindness. He is convenient to the grocery and South 1st yet on a tranquil block where you can hear several types of birds on his porch in the morning and stargaze at night...plus being a 10-minute drive to downtown and other highlights of Austin. He is a genuinely cool person with a ton of knowledge about Austin. Marcos was my first Airbnb stay, and he has set the bar high. "
2171217,26697975,2015-02-17,26702805,Valentina,"We spent a great weekend in Austin and Marcos just made our stay very confortable. Marcos is the best host ever!!
The room and everything was very clean, the neighborhood is very friendly and is really near from downtown. You can take a walk or go by bycicle. 
We definitely recommend the place!
Valentina and José"
2171217,27450404,2015-03-04,6170589,Ivan,"Marcos is probably the friendliest and nicest host I've ever encountered during my multiple airbnb stays. His place is located between South Congress and South 1st St, within a short walk to the busstops that will take you straight into downtown. Around the area, there is a 24h supermarket within a 5 min walk, and multiple eateries with excellent and varied choice of food. Fresh towels are provided, and the room is warm and heated during the winter! I would love to stay here again!"
2171217,27741004,2015-03-10,4027713,Patrick,Marcos's house is in the best neighborhood in ATX. It's super close to restaurants in SOCO and Bouldin Creek. The room is comfortable. The bathroom is adequate. Wi-fi worked well. Marcos was nice to talk to as well.

He made a custom map for us and in the room he had placed water bottles, maps, guides to Austin and all of the little touches that go a long way. He was prepared for anyone who forgot a travel item and was an overall great host. I highly recommend Marcos."
2171217,28894548,2015-03-31,2529996,Kristi,"Marcos is truly the perfect host!  He is so kind and thoughtful, always ready to help, but never intrusive.  He is very knowledgeable about Austin and happy to share information, but never pushy.  He made us feel that we were welcome in his home the moment we entered.  He was very responsive to our texts and happily answered our questions."
2171217,30862390,2015-04-28,11887432,Jackie,"Marco was a great host.  He was friendly and informative without being intrusive.  The room was comfortable and clean.  The location was centrally located so I was able to use public transportation or walk to where I needed to go.   

I will certainly consider this rental for my next trip to Austin.   "
2171217,31953760,2015-05-12,29003095,Don,Marcos was a great host with plenty of great stories about Austin locals. Friendly and relaxed house in a central part of town. Easy access to all the clubs on Congress.  I'd stay here again. 
2171217,33180188,2015-05-25,21171331,Elizabeth,"One of the best hosts I've ever had! This was my first experience in a shared space and it was a great experience. My flight came in late and Marcos stayed up to help us get situated. He provided water, snacks, and toiletries in case you forgot some! He's incredibly friendly, has fantastic reccommeations for the city and really fun to talk to. A wonderful host and great location; would definitely stay here again! "
2171217,34448991,2015-06-08,10198205,David,"What a wonderful trip. From the moment I arrived, Marcos did everything to make my stay pleasant and me feel welcome. The accommodations were very clean and exactly what I was looking for. Marcos provided a map and snacks upon arrival and oriented me with the neighborhood and greater Austin. An interesting guy, he really made my stay fun and pleasant."

2171217,42998190,2015-08-16,26562681,Friedelspaghetti,"As every other review has mentioned, Marcos is an excellent host and his house is in the perfect location.  If you want good conversations with a great local austenite or if quiet, solitude is your objective, Marcos house is the place to be.  Definitely one of the best deals on Airbnb!  A gem. "
2171217,44223904,2015-08-24,15009318,Geoffrey,Great stay.
2171217,47928884,2015-09-21,11663055,David,"I came to Austin for the COTA WEC race and had a hotel reservation go sideways on arrival. Mark responded quickly to my inquiry as I scrambled to find accommodation. 

Like so many others have said, he is a very nice guy. It feels more like you're staying with an old friend with varied interests. If you choose to engage in conversation, it will be interesting and enjoyable. But if you  need your own space he is good with that too. Pretty much the perfect host.

There is a major grocery store and restaurants all within easy walking distance. The most interesting area of SoCo is close by. I tried three of his restaurant recommendations and they all were spot on. 

There was snacks and a few bottles of water in my room on arrival, which was appreciated. The bathroom has a supply of assorted toiletries just in case you forget something.

Thanks Mark for providing a last minute home away from home."
2171217,49827475,2015-10-06,1976996,Pietro,"Had a great stay at Marcos', highly recommended!"
2171217,50670013,2015-10-13,43738873,Logan,"This was my first airbnb experience for ACL and Marcos was an amazing host! He had a map for me of the hotspots around the area and we talked about Austin and the scene. I wasn't at the house a lot, but I always felt comfortable when I was there! Marcos wants you to feel right at home for your stay and that's exactly how I felt. Can't say enough good things about my stay. If you were on the fence before, you should definitely reconsider and no doubt go with Marcos. Great guy, neighborhood, everything. I will definitely go back for any trips to Austin!"
2171217,51411598,2015-10-19,3418134,Jim,"Totally awesome, Marcos made my stay splendid and in a great location."
2171217,52074307,2015-10-26,17578,Chris,Marcos is such a fantastic host that I am kicking myself writing him a stellar review...I want his hosting and home all to myself! The thing about Marcos is he treats every guest with the same specialness and kindness. A very comfortable and comforting stay.
2171217,52940214,2015-11-02,43182729,Elias,We had an awesome time at Marcos house. Nice and clean room in a great area with a super host. Marcos was very friendly and easy-going and he made us feel at home during the entire stay. Highly reconmended and we would def come back!

7726673,42991615,2015-08-16,17844495,Stacie,Jeff was a very organized host. Nice accommodations. Clean room and linens. Nice neighborhood too. The doggies were big but SUPER friendly (and kept to themselves for the most part). 
7726673,44369961,2015-08-25,38800979,Soo Yeon,"Jeff is welcoming, friendly, detail-oriented, and responsive. Jeff's house is wonderful as well. Especially the bed was very comfortable and it felt like home. I really enjoyed to stay at Jeff's house. 
I recommend it! "
7726673,44510979,2015-08-26,23765456,Maria,Jeff  was a great host! His house in a nice neighborhood a bit off the center was perfect for our stay in Austin!

And the dogs are really cute."
7726673,44878291,2015-08-29,2854000,Robert,"Jeff was an excellent host, and even came quickly to the house on a Friday night when I forgot my key. Great accommodations, great location, great price and great host. Highly recommended."
7726673,45043082,2015-08-30,8093783,Kendal,"Place was in a fine location, the host was responsive and easy to deal with. This is a spartan set up- but a good deal.  If you need a place to sleep- this is perfect.

I would stay here again.

This a good Austin option if all one needs is a bed for a night or two."

I met some very nice people by staying there and now I have some new friends in Austin!
The bed was in fact clean and comfortable, however I would recommend renting a car (or being willing to use Lyft) if you are going to stay in this particular area...for some reason I thought I could walk everywhere."
7726673,46450239,2015-09-10,24229859,Sa,Jeff welcomed us very friendly and gave us much information about Austin. The dogs are great and we would spend another time at his place.
7726673,47024020,2015-09-14,43959532,Derek,"Overall had a good experience with Jeff.  Nice guy, cool dogs and the bed was pretty comfy.  Worked with us on last minute reservation after our other booking fell through.  Only thing we didn't love was that the check-in time was not upheld and it kinda threw off our one day we had in Austin (although that may have been a result of booking last-minute, so not to say it's a typical issue with this listing).  Also, we were told there were clean linens in the bathroom but couldn't find any on the morning of check out, so we had to forego showers thus exposing the masses to our Neanderthalean collective odor.  Besides those few things, we enjoyed our stay."
7726673,47539008,2015-09-20,6176503,Lucy,"Jeff was really great. Very accommodating to my arrival time (late at night), he was very nice to talk to and his dogs are super cute! The room is simple but everything I needed for a one night stay. Would recommend. Thanks Jeff!  "
7726673,47887416,2015-09-21,42426457,Belinda,"The room was as described -- it was clean & very basic. You'll be sharing bathroom with the other Airbnb guest(s).  If you don't drive, the local bus takes 30 minutes to go downtown; the bus stop is about 7 minute walk from house.  Jeff's a very easy-going and pleasant to deal with."
7726673,48256223,2015-09-24,31291900,Edu,Second time I stay at Jeff s. Both rooms are very comfortable! Definitely recommend it!
7726673,48487805,2015-09-26,1742619,Cindu,Jeff was an amazing & friendly host. We just stayed a night but Jeff made us feel very welcomed. He also suggested some amazing places to eat & his dogs are so lovely! Will definitely recommend this place! :)
7726673,48943855,2015-09-29,44433468,Matt,"Great hosts, nice clean room. Jeff was super friendly and helpful."
7726673,49088360,2015-09-30,43797421,Becky,Great! I was just a quick in and out but he gave me great information about the house and everything was clean and comfortable.
7726673,49646879,2015-10-05,34369797,Michael,"Jeff was great. The room was tucked away, and I felt like I had my own room and privacy. Very easy access to stores and bus routes. Would definitely stay here again. "
7726673,49932298,2015-10-07,12246560,Elaine,"Jeff has been the best Airbnb host I have ever had. First of all he showed me around, introduce the dogs (which are super sweet!) and he was so welcoming that made me feel like home. It was very nice to have the opportunity of meeting him. "
7726673,50149876,2015-10-09,45779773,Travis,"Super awesome experience as a first time Airbnb'er! Jeff was a great host, and promptly replied to any questions I had during my stay. The room was exactly as advertised, clean, with a very comfy bed. A+++ would recommend."
7726673,50957369,2015-10-16,26730751,Bryan,Great house and location for traveling to the Austin area. If you're traveling for business Jeff has a perfect setup. The house is clean and well organized. Jeff is great to get along with and is available to answer any questions you may have about the area. I will certainly be staying here again in the future. 
7726673,51074821,2015-10-17,45528593,Stan,Jeff was a great host and made sure I was comfortable.
7726673,51240493,2015-10-18,46482138,Annette,Jeff was a great host and even recommended a wonderful Indian food restaurant that I enjoyed. He definitely has defined his space for Airbnb travelers. It was very enjoyable meeting others and comfortably relaxing after a busy day enjoying Austin.
7726673,51588205,2015-10-21,45162311,Brian,"I had a great time! Jeff's place was clean, nice kitchen with everything. Jeff also had good suggestions for places to eat hear music. I'd recommend it to everyone."
7726673,51857411,2015-10-24,23541922,Jonathan,"This was my first experience with Airbnb, and Jeff was a great host. He was very friendly and was able to provide many suggestions about different locations to visit in the Austin area. I'd highly recommend staying with him if you have the chance. "
7726673,51939384,2015-10-25,45012293,Cruz,This was my first Airbnb experience and a very enjoyable one. The host was friendly and gave great dining recommendations.  It was a busy couple of days when I stayed so I enjoyed the peace and quiet. Would definitely return.   
7726673,52792732,2015-11-01,47515122,ZoeLynn,"One word to describe my first Airbnb experience would be fantastic! Jeff couldn't have been more welcoming, he was in a word the perfect host. He had great recommendations for both food and local attractions. The room was exactly as described, clean, and very comfy queen size bed. Also the bathroom, and kitchen were updated and very well maintained. The neighborhood was a very safe residential area with updated houses, and the location was perfect because there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance but it is a very short drive to downtown ATX. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who wanted to check out Austin."
7726673,53097208,2015-11-04,5853442,Reynaldo,"Jeff is a nice guy and was very accommodating. Example: I arrived fatigued on a red eye and he offered to allow early check in. 
The neighborhood was quaint, almost picturesque; very quiet as well. His home is exactly as described: clean and comfortable.
Hi-speed internet, streaming TV, etc. --everything apt for business travelers. Highly recommended. 

"
1875121,8607479,2013-11-07,9791584,Freeman,"A really nice little spot that was a nice short walk from downtown and E. 6th street with bars and food trucks. Very enjoyable and clean interior for relaxing, reading a book, or having a cup of tea. Start your morning with a cup of coffee on the porch. And a great couple of accommodating hosts as well. "
1875121,8706901,2013-11-12,1444565,Lauren,"We stayed with Melissa and her husband for Fun Fun Fun Fest weekend.  Both were helpful with information about the area and were very polite about checking in our us during our stay to make sure we were comfortable.  The unit is private, cozy, well furnished, and the kitchenette came in handy!  It was an easy walk to downtown, some great East Austin cafe and bars, and the house is ""smelling distance"" from Franklin's BBQ.  We really enjoyed our stay!"
1875121,8822594,2013-11-19,9689731,Alana,"Lovely place to stay and even lovelier hosts!  The cottage is very charming and has everything you need.  We appreciated the luxurious towels, Mrs. Meyer's soap, and stocked refrigerator.    The cottage is within walking distance of great eateries and attractions.  We were in town for the Formula 1 race weekend and were easily able to walk to the convention center and hop on a shuttle to the track.  It was nice to have our own private place but to have such helpful and friendly hosts nearby.  Definitely plan on staying here for future Austin trips!"
1875121,8853133,2013-11-21,9931053,Heather,"Such a lovely space, from the moment we walked we fell in love. So much so that we decided we had to go back and stay for an extra couple days while we were in Austin. A true home away from home, bright, airy and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. 
We also discovered some wonderful Restaurants/shops just a few blocks north of the cottage on east 11th, in particular we enjoyed Quickie Pickie, Hillside Pharmacy, Take Heart, & Rosewood collective. Melissa and Dave were such gracious hosts as well, everything down from the ease of communication to the discovering of delicious treats in the fridge. Thanks again!"
1875121,8921299,2013-11-25,8740591,Ryan,"This is a great place in a great location. The yard surrounding the cottage is very pleasant, and everything was clean. Definitely would consider returning. "
1875121,9164254,2013-12-10,4071459,Majkin,"Melissa's cottage was a great place to stay!  It was just as advertised, but maybe MORE charming.  The location was super convenient, the cottage was well-appointed, and our hosts were friendly and helpful.  We arrived in the midst of a cold snap, but Melissa and Dave were armed with extra blankets and space heaters that kept the place cozy and comfortable.  I can't wait for a return visit when the weather is warm! Highly recommended.     "
1875121,9297115,2013-12-19,3533981,Pia,"We had a great experience staying at Melissa's great cottage.  It's well located in East Austin, which has a lot of cool places to go to eat and drink, and an easy walk to downtown.  The cottage was adorable, and Melissa left us a nice note , a parking permit for our car, and some coffee / breakfast items, and a few Austin guides to greet us.  The bed was super comfy and, while it was a bit chilly, Melissa provided us with enough space heaters to keep the place warm.  We were in Austin for a long weekend, and would definitely stay here again if we return.  Thanks Melissa!"
1875121,9397867,2013-12-26,1093351,Archan,"Melissa and Dave have a beautiful cottage in Austin that is walking distance to both east 6th Street and downtown. At the same time it's in a quiet neighborhood which is great for a retreat.

Melissa is also very responsive with requests - she was thoughtful to leave us space heaters when we visited in December - didn't think Austin for that cold but glad we had the heaters. The cottage is minimalistic and quaint - highly recommend it."
1875121,9595018,2014-01-03,9842845,Rachel,"Amazing! Melissa and Dave were great and the guesthouse in the back (where we stayed) was beautiful. Simple, but everything you would need. We had a rental car and they had a visitor street parking pass so that wasn't a problem. My main reason for booking was that I have a lot of food restrictions and wanted to be able to cook some meals while there. They were so accommodating and let us borrow any cooking/ baking dishes that weren't in the guesthouse but that they had in their home. Austin was surprisingly cold when we were there but all the heaters they had in there kept us warm. And they were great with any questions about the area. Walkable to 6th street, Rainey street (bit further), and downtown attractions/ venues/ bars. Overall, fantastic, and I would totally recommend it to others!"
1875121,10259074,2014-02-10,2070895,Rebecca,"Melissa and Dave were welcoming and warm from the moment my little family arrived.  They made sure that we had everything we needed, including enough space heaters to make their beautiful cottage very cozy.  They even were accommodating with our changed plans and travel needs with a toddler.  I got a copy of the ""guide"" book they are putting together for guests, and after trying a few of their recommendations, I would say trust them to know Austin!  Thank you both for making our first real family vacation memorable.  "
1875121,10378851,2014-02-17,7702589,Arezou,"Our stay at this cottage was just absolutely perfect. Melissa was an excellent host and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. I'm definitely planning on staying here again when I go back to Austin to visit, and I will gladly recommend this lovely cottage to all of my friends. Thanks again, Melissa! :) "
1875121,10476835,2014-02-21,735815,Justin,"Absolutely loved Melissa's cottage! Great location in East Austin, a block away from Franklin's and such an adorable space. Super easy to contact and communicate with, Melissa was a terrific host and I've only raved about her cottage to any and all of my friends planning to take a trip to Austin. I most definitely will be back! "
1875121,10890890,2014-03-11,12625612,Jack,"I stayed here for SXSW (the Interactive portion of the festival) this year and it was perfect. Walking distance from downtown, but secluded and quiet enough to get a good night's sleep. Great hosts and a great stay."
1875121,11043776,2014-03-18,4934133,Stacey,"We had such a great time, the guys are so lovely and the cottage is gorgeous. Had everything we needed and was a close short walk to the city. We loved it! "
1875121,11155939,2014-03-23,12721012,Amy,"This was amazing. You have the entire guest house to yourself, so it's very private and very comfortable. Melissa also wrote a very sweet note to us to welcome us, and provided an incredibly detailed packet (and brochures!) about any local restaurants, activities, or general things we might want to know about Austin. She also had the fridge stocked with granola and greek yogurt, which was perfect for us (it was great to have snacks already on hand). She checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and was quick to respond to any questions we might have. The location is also incredible- such a short walk to downtown! We had an amazing trip and I would definitely stay here again!"
1875121,11265339,2014-03-27,12539260,Kathleen,"Melissa & Dave were great hosts! So hospitable from before we arrived until we got back home. 

The cottage was modern and cozy with personal touches (like a note to us and refreshing beverages)

Location was amazing and all the printed recommendations Melissa gave to us were really delicious with great ambiances!

If you are going to Austin I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage."
1875121,11451442,2014-04-03,2174196,Emek,"We stayed one week at this lovely cottage with my husband and really enjoyed it! We were also really happy to meet with Melissa and Dave. The cottage is quite large, airy, with a nice porch. One of the most important things for me while staying at rentals is the bathroom and I was very happy with the cottage's bathroom - it was very clean, new, appropriately sized and easy to use without any problem with hot/cold water. Another priority is the location and after spending 1 week in lovely Austin, we cannot think of a better location. East Austin speaks for itself and the cottage was within walking distance to great bars, restaurants and food trucks. It is also very close to downtown - we always walked there. If you prefer public transport, there are 2 lines nearby. There is also a Zipcar location again within a short walking distance. If you have a car, the cottage comes with a parking pass. We definitely loved the city, the neighborhood, the cottage and our great hosts Melissa and Dave. Highly recommended."
1875121,11919827,2014-04-19,3952425,Colleen,"My friend and I had a lovely week-long stay at this cute urban cottage. The description and pics were right on and the location was super convenient (walkable) for our conference near the convention center. Melissa was a breeze to communicate with prior to our visit, checked in on us to be sure we had all we needed during our stay, and left us some lovely refreshments. "
1875121,12121657,2014-04-23,290792,Melinda,"I booked Melissa's cottage for my partner's parents who were visiting Austin for the first time from Seattle.  Melissa lives just a few blocks from me, and her cottage was the perfect spot to house our out-of-town guests.  They were very happy with the accommodations and found themselves lingering on the front porch enjoying the sunshine on several occasions.  The cottage is beautifully appointed, clean, and comfortable and in a great part of town.  I hope to book with Melissa again in the future.
Thanks AirBnB for introducing me to a wonderful neighbor!"
1875121,12211786,2014-04-26,429188,Selena,"Adorable place! 

LOCATION: Great. Easy parking (Melissa provides parking pass). Two blocks from Franklin BBQ and lots of other good restaurants. Quite street in the up-and-coming East Side neighborhood. Lovely woody-suburban setting. Surprisingly private for being in someone's backyard.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Nice porch for enjoying morning coffee with the birds chirping. Spacious interior with all the essentials. Comfy couch, little breakfast table. Well outfitted kitchen with complementary coffee, tea, and instant oatmeal. Nice simple bathroom with hair drier. Walk-through closet goes from livingroom/kitchen to bedroom. Bedroom has lovely open ceilings and clean airy feel. Tasteful minimalist-retro decor throughout. Very clean. No clutter.Two window A/Cs keep the place at a comfortable temp. 

HOST: Melissa was super responsive throughout the booking process and my stay. Turns out we have some FB friends in common and we went out for a drink one night to swap stories. 

BOTTOM LINE: Couldn't have been better!"
1875121,12326569,2014-04-29,1907760,Kevin,"Melissa and Dave's cottage was absolutely perfect! It was comfortable, quite and served our needs perfectly. The description on airbnb is 100% accurate and our stay there could not have been better!"
1875121,12628006,2014-05-06,1991892,Rachel,"Stayed here with two friends for a long weekend in Austin and had an incredible time! The cottage is adorable and I would absolutely recommend it. We traveled mostly by car (or cab on nights with no designated driver) - though there are great places to go within walking distance (as soon as we arrived we threw our bags down and walked around the corner for delicious outdoor drinks at Takoba). Melissa and Dave are wonderful, and gave us lots of great recommendations (in addition to the packet of neighborhood favorites already in the cottage) when we ran into them during our stay. Hope to return soon!"
1875121,12888816,2014-05-13,2155530,Megan,"I stayed a week at Melissa and Dave's cottage and it was everything I hoped for and more! Clean space, quiet neighborhood, lots of privacy, perfectly set up kitchen, fast wifi, strong AC units and walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars and music venues. They made sure we had everything we needed, supplying us with loads of recommendations and coffee and oatmeal for the first morning, checking in with us, but always super respectful of our privacy and space.  Even though they were out of town for part of the weekend, they made themselves completely available to anything that arose. They are lovely hosts, and I was sad to leave the little cottage."
1875121,13014623,2014-05-17,153999,Rebecca,"My friend and I spent 5 nights at Melissa and Dave’s cottage and we absolutely loved it! The only downside was that we didn’t have more time or we’d have stayed longer!
It’s exactly as described and totally immaculate. Lots of natural light, the shower’s great (especially after spending 1 month in Mexico), the wifi’s perfect and you get heaps of privacy. I didn’t get a chance to meet Melissa in real life unfortunately (though we met Dave a couple of times who was lovely and very accommodating) but she was very responsive via text whenever we needed to speak with her and always willing to help however she could.
We were given a parking pass and a list of really good local recommendations that were left on the dining table, which was such a nice touch!
I’d definitely recommend staying at this place, it’s within walking distance of a tonne of great stuff and has absolutely everything you’d need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Austin.
Oh yeah, and the bed’s super comfortable!
Thanks Melissa and Dave for having us, wish we could have stayed 4evs!"
1875121,13179988,2014-05-21,1720920,Judith,"My traveling companion and I were utterly delighted with this charming, super-comfortable,  well-equipped cottage. It's located in a convenient, up-and-coming, hip, but peaceful, neighborhood within walking distance to downtown attractions, but away from the bustle.   We especially loved hanging out on the great porch in a quiet, leafy yard.   The digital combination lock is a great plus, and the bathtub/shower has superb water pressure.
 Melissa's an ideal host, thoroughly organized, informative, and helpful. All-in-all a winner choice for a visit to seductive Austin. "
1875121,13351925,2014-05-26,3830278,Daniela,"The cottage was exactly as described. All was excellent. It was a absolutely positive and uncomplicated experience. Melissa and Dave are great hosts. They provided valuable information about Austin. The area is close to everything, yet quiet and peaceful. I can not recommend the urban cottage more!

Melissa and Dave,thanks so much for a great stay!"
1875121,13603001,2014-06-01,1808544,Kara,"I had a fabulous stay at Melissa and Dave’s Urban Cottage in Austin.  The cottage is tucked in behind their beautiful 1940s bungalow on a quiet street in east Austin.  The cottage’s placement in relation to their house allows for just the right mix of privacy and proximity.  They have a sweet little tomato and greens garden near the cottage’s porch—this was a lovely sight in the early morning.  The cottage was very clean (and I am quite particular about this!).  I settled right in, welcomed by a nice note from Melissa and Dave and a Smeg refrigerator stocked with mineral water.  The space is so tasteful—streamlined, not cluttered or overly-decorated, but also extremely inviting.  The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, utensils, and cooking ware.  The window air conditioning units quickly cooled whichever room I was in (I just used one at a time and closed off of the other rooms during the hottest parts of the day).  I slept well in the nice-sized bedroom, and enjoyed some relaxation time during the day in the living room.  I was in town for a conference at the Hilton and welcomed the quiet space away from downtown.  The street is beautiful and quiet, but also within easy walking distance to some of the best spots in Austin.  My only regret is that I didn’t have more time to explore east Austin, or just enjoy the quiet cottage time. Melissa and Dave are wonderful hosts!"
1875121,13882068,2014-06-07,1684057,James,"I came to Austin for a conference at the convention center; and though I love downtown grandeur, I enjoy residing in the neighborhoods and patronizing smaller , local restaurants.  This cottage was perfectly situated between both 7th and 11th street, which have amazing small eats.  And getting down to the conference center was so easy with the B-Cycles!  The ride was flat and I could get there within 5 minutes.

The cottage itself was exceptional, especially with the great A/C and a fridge with cool drinks.  Couldn't ask for anything more than a place like this to relax and recharge while I got my urban adventuring on!"
1875121,14025143,2014-06-10,6550043,William,"This was a great cottage/guest house that Melissa and Dave have. The place was very clean and has lots of privacy. It was walking distance to all the restaurants, coffee, and bars on the east side. The two air conditioning units were huge. The walkway from the front gate to the back house can be a bit dark and they do have lights along the path. Melissa was very attentive and easily reached via emails/texts. My wife and I had a great stay here and will look to come back again for sure!"
1875121,14155230,2014-06-13,6510008,Leigh Anne,"We absolutely loved the cottage and Melissa was the perfect host. She not only brought over lawn chairs for us to brave the Franklin's BBQ line, she also offered to mail is our phone charger that we left. The house is the perfect combo of modern and charm. The location was perfectly nestled in the middle of all the best restaurants and bars and parking is easy... I definitely recommend!"
1875121,14599435,2014-06-23,12875242,Kate,"The Urban Cottage looked just as it was featured on the airbnb website. The furnishings were adorable. My friends and I could not get over how CLEAN everything was. Melissa and Dave left a lovely note for us when we arrived. The refrigerator was full of beverages and the basket on the counter held oatmeal, tea, etc. We enjoyed having breakfast in the cottage every morning before starting our day. We also really appreciated the pans/plates/cups/etc. available for making breakfast. My friends and I were well rested and comfortable each morning when we awoke - the bedroom is comfortable and cozy and the pull out couch was easy to pull out and put back together again. Melissa's tips for restaurants around Austin were fantastic! The cottage was within walking distance to most of the sites we wanted to see and a very short cab ride to others that were further away (ie Barton Springs/Baylor St. art wall). We had such a great time and I would absolutely recommend the Urban Cottage to anyone visiting Austin!"
1875121,14796569,2014-06-26,1419784,Gianni,"This was my favorite place out of many as I've been traveling across the country. It's quiet and cozy. It's clean. It's decorated well. There's a front porch. It's a fantastic urban cottage. 

There's plenty of stuff you can walk to in the area, either north to e. 11th or south to e. 6th. Good restaurant and bars, nothing like the other side of e. 6th (dirty 6th). There's great BBQ really close (Franklins', Micklethwait). There are several yoga studios. The streets are quiet. It was five star location to me.

Parking is a breeze out front, so getting in your car and exploring is easy too.

Would definitely recommend."
1875121,15040137,2014-07-01,12783163,Christina,"This was my first experience with airbnb and my expectations were defiantly exceeded.  Melissa was an excellent host right from the beginning with quick and informative responses.  Although I never actually met her on my trip (my cousin was able to) she could be easily reached by text or phone at any time.  I spent 5 nights in the cottage and it was exactly as the pictures depicted and most importantly clean!  Access was easy with the code system. The location was perfect.  Although we didn't have a car, Melissa provides an overnight parking pass which is perfect for those who do.  We made use of the B- cycles which were a short walk away.  Lyft is also a great way to get around.  But really, you can walk most anywhere.  Unfortunately Franklins was closed when we were there, it was right down the street.  Will have to come back for that!  All in all we had a fabulous time and would defiantly be back."
1875121,15310092,2014-07-07,14098935,Mark,"Great place to stay in Austin. Walking distance to the action of downtown but far enough away for some peace and quiet.
Would definitely stay again if I'm ever back there."
1875121,15767374,2014-07-15,3541204,Darcy,"Had a great stay in Melissa's cottage! We really enjoyed how close it was to everywhere we wanted to visit.  The cottage itself was cozy, quiet, and SO clean! Really enjoyed the extra treats in the fridge too :)"
1875121,16212549,2014-07-23,16875826,Camila,My sister and I stayed in the cottage for 3 nights on a road trip. We loved it! Everything was very clean and the cottage is so charming. It's also perfectly located near all the restaurants I wanted to try. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again!
1875121,16485613,2014-07-28,10990219,Eric,"This lovely, very clean, and comfortable urban cottage is ideally located in Austin, just moments from downtown, IH-35, and the airport. Despite being so close to everything, the cottage and neighborhood is quiet and peaceful - all in all, the best of both worlds! We rented a car and really appreciated the extremely easy on-street parking situation. Communicating with the host was easy and she was so quick to respond to my queries. It's obvious that Melissa and Dave love Austin and love their cottage, and enjoy sharing these things with visitors!"
1875121,16747378,2014-08-01,18747181,Mandeep,"I was in Austin for work and rented the cottage through the week. Location of the cottage is ideal. Quiet residential neighborhood in downtown area. Neat and clean with good beddings. Excellent host, went out of the way to make my stay comfortable. Would highly recommend this place.
This was my first airbnb stay and was surely a memorable one. 

~ Mandeep"
1875121,17366319,2014-08-11,747694,Cayla & Eric,"We had an excellent time staying at Melissa's. It was in an ideal spot, just out of the way of the downtown hustle and bustle, yet still a short walk to a myriad of awesome food spots, especially East Austin food trucks and cafés.
The small cottage was exactly as pictured, simple and stylishly decorated, and just large enough for a couple and perhaps a few friends.
We never met Melissa in person but she was careful to keep us in the loop for our arrival and was quick to offer any help might need. She even left a homemade informational booklet with many personal tips and suggestions as to local bars, restaurants and other interesting spots to check out.
Couldn't have asked for more from Melissa or her pad and would love to stay here again!"
1875121,17843769,2014-08-18,2632144,Jenny,"We arrived on a sweltering summer night, and Melissa and David made us feel immediately at home with ice cold beverages waiting for us in the fridge and personal recommendations of where we could get a good late night dinner.  The cottage was clean and charming, had strong A/C, and a super comfy bed + linens.  The location can't be beat: tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street that's just a 5-10 min walk away from the 6th St. food trucks, restaurants, bars, and shops.  "
1875121,18792967,2014-09-01,8290503,Kate,"The cottage was the perfect place to spend 3 days in Austin. The location is perfect - walking distance to amazing food and bars and a short driving distance away from all of the best things Austin has to offer. The cottage was incredibly charming, with beautiful light and modern charm. Melissa and Dave left us Topo Chico, Mexican Coke and delicious coffee in the fridge and a welcoming note with tips on the best of Austin. We also loved sitting on the porch of the cottage, having a glass of wine and admiring the live oaks. Would highly recommend!"
1875121,19288978,2014-09-09,1705520,Zoe,"The hosts were very welcoming, leaving us with a kind note, some water and coffee stash in the fridge. They kindly also provided us a with a 'pack n play' bed for our small child. We arrived late at night and they had the place well lit up and it was easy and convenient getting in.
Lovely neighborhood, cyclable distance to downtown and to the hip night scene.
The location however provided by Airbnb on the map was rather inaccurate  - it shows the cottage a few blocks closer to downtown than it actually is, and on the other side of the freeway. That's not really a problem in reality, though it is rather misleading."
1875121,19603943,2014-09-15,452474,Paul,"The cottage is in a great location, in a private and quiet garden. Inside is light, airy, spotlessly clean and with great aircon. We had a great time in Austin. Melissa and Dave were very friendly hosts. Highly recommended!"
1875121,19805899,2014-09-18,10333809,Matilda,"Melissa was a fantastic host. My parents were a part of the booking and the whole trip couldn't have been better. Perfectly located, lovely and helpful host who was happy to answer any questions and give useful advice. There was no trouble finding the cottage and the facilities were exactly what we were after.
Couldn't be better."
1875121,20278166,2014-09-27,1805360,Tessa,"We loved staying at Melissa's place, so much so we didn't want leave! Check in was a breeze, and the cottage was really comfortable with everything we needed. It was located within 20 mins walk of the Capitol, and restaurants were even closer. We'd definitely recommend this property."
1875121,20577843,2014-10-01,11327562,Jake,We couldn't have been happier with the cottage. It was in a great neighborhood within near some great bars and restaurants on the east side and a quick stroll from downtown. Melissa left us an extremely helpful list of recommendations of things to do both near the cottage and in other parts of the city that we used daily. The cottage itself was nice and clean with all the necessities and a nice little porch to sip our morning coffee on. Would absolutely stay here the next time we visit Austin. 
1875121,20820410,2014-10-06,19005588,Althea,We stayed here for the ACL and found the cottage warm and convenient. The accommodations was good for the three of us and enjoyed the clean space. We definitely recommend this cottage and the location was great!  
1875121,21060669,2014-10-10,15268537,Elliot,"The neighborhood was great and we felt welcomed from the start.   By far, my best airbnb experience.  Austin is a great city and staying here was one of the best ways to experience it. "
1875121,21194523,2014-10-13,13949310,Robert,"The cottage was exactly as advertised, well located and charming.  Melissa was extremely accommodating and responsive.  Had no issues with the cottage and would be happy to stay here again in the future."
1875121,21867639,2014-10-26,9969023,Josephine,"Melissa's cottage was great. Perfect location for traveling by foot or by car. Very clean, two air conditioners and just really cute. It was 4 of us staying there and it never felt too cramped. Melissa was responsive (both prior to travel and during our stay) and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin. Highlight: 3-4 blocks to Franklin BBQ."
1875121,22291083,2014-11-03,18141093,Lucy,"I stayed at Melissa and Dave's cottage for a week for the US GP. It was a fantastic place. As people described, very clean and comfortable. The location was also fantastic with only a short 10 minute walk to down town/6th street, and plenty of places to eat up on 11th. Melissa and Dave were fabulous hosts and gave great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. They even left some gorgeous coffee, porridge for breakfast and some lovely sparkling water. 
I had a fantastic experience...thanks so much Melissa and Dave! "
1875121,22519518,2014-11-09,12756674,Jason,"I loved the convenience and charm of the place.  The hosts were incredibly accommodating and gracious.  This was my first Airbnb experience and, in the future, will attempt to avoid hotels altogether as a result.  We were greeted with a nice handwritten note welcoming us to the cottage as well as quaint amenities such as mineral water and coffee. The inside of the cottage was in great condition and kept very clean tidy.  The cottage is also within a short walk of downtown which was especially convenient for our trip.  My expectations of the stay were either met or exceeded in every instance."
1875121,22711586,2014-11-12,5422901,Sunnie,"The house was so wonderful and felt like home away from home. It was clean, good location and a great place to come back to each night. The owners seemed genuinely interested in making sure we had a nice stay in Austin. Would stay here again."
1875121,23570382,2014-12-05,4949872,Kellan,"We had a blast staying at Melissa and Dave's cottage. The place was just as it appeared in the pictures and we always looked forward to going back to the place at night after being out and about.  Very cozy, well-designed, nice bathroom, and comfy, quiet bedroom. One of the best parts was exploring the neighborhood, which has a bunch of cool new restaurants and some old establishments as well. It was also walkable to downtown which was really convenient. Great spot, we'll be back next time we visit Austin!"
1875121,23819616,2014-12-11,4602071,Julie,Melissa & Dave's cottage was absolutely fantastic!  I wish I could have stayed longer.  Everything about it is comfortable and just like the photos shown.  Getting downtown was simple... Just a $5 Uber ride. Next time I'm in Austin I hope I can stay here again! 
1875121,24027089,2014-12-17,6529195,Stephen,"My girlfriend and I had a really nice stay at this charming cabin. The space is really great. Very clean and comfortable. Melissa was a very attentive host who was more than happy to offer recommendations and very attentive to any requests we made. Whether they were pressing or not.

The cottage is in a cute area (if not the fanciest) that's pretty close to downtown and has several nice restaurants, cafes, and shops a few blocks away. It was also great to be near a bike share station, plenty of public transit, and Franklin BBQ!

I would happily stay here again!"
1875121,24198428,2014-12-22,22493872,Perry,"This cottage backs up to a nice back entrance option alley that gives you a feel of easy access and privacy. Very fun pivot point in the city considering the number of off beat spots to check out in the adjacent neighborhoods. Austin water and freshly ground coffee stocked the fridge and entry was a breeze. My sister and I had a blast exploring Austin's limits from this homey little cottage that has all appliances a traveler may need. Thanks Melissa, we had a great visit and enjoyed our stay! "
1875121,25553322,2015-01-19,25077785,Tara,"My friends and I had a great experience here. Melissa and Dave were terrific hosts, and I enjoyed this neighborhood. The cottage was very comfortable and within walking distance of cool restaurants. The recommendations on the table when we walked in were appreciated. We would highly recommend the cottage!"
1875121,25878225,2015-01-28,21953961,Samuel,"Everything was just as expected when I arrived. The cottage was welcoming, located just at the the back of the owners' house.

It is nicely located at walking distance from downtown."
1875121,26071913,2015-02-02,15008798,Julia,"Melissa & Dave's cottage was adorable and perfect for our long weekend in Austin. It was clean, welcoming, bright, and a short drive to much of what Austin has to offer. (The map shows the listing West of 35, but it's actually East.) Melissa replied to all of my texts promptly and was happy to lend us an iron. The bedroom was bright on sunny mornings, so, if you like to sleep in, I'd bring a sleep mask. We will definitely stay here when we return to Austin!  (Even our Austin residing friend was impressed!)"
1875121,26178799,2015-02-06,24537060,Tess,"The urban cottage is amazing! It is a gem in the trendy east area of Austin and so close to downtown and the famous 6th street. As soon as we arrived at the cottage we fell in love, it is so homely and private. All the little touches left by Melissa including extra heaters due to the unusually cold weather, to the welcome note, small snacks and drinks and also a guide to surrounding spots and attractions made our stay at the cottage truly special. We can't wait to come back and stay again."
1875121,26671463,2015-02-17,1177843,Asher,"Melissa's cottage was perfect for a long weekend in Austin. It's within walking distance of Downtown and right in the middle of the many excellent bars and restaurants in East Austin, while feeling removed from any bustle or noise. Wi-Fi works well, the cottage is clean and secure -- just a great stay, overall."
1875121,26835644,2015-02-20,9736643,Abby,"The Urban Cottage is by far my favorite place to stay in Austin! Melissa's instructions were easy to follow, she was super responsive, and the cottage was cozy and clean.  Car2Go was almost always close by when I needed to get around Austin, but the location is still super accessible. I highly recommend this spot and will be eager to book again!"
1875121,27121449,2015-02-26,7389316,Christa,"We had a wonderful stay at this cute as a button little cottage! It was clean , the bed was super comfy and the linens were great. The kitchen had everything we needed, even some cold drinks waiting for us!
It is a short walk from lots of great food and entertainment and Melissa and Dave were great hosts. I can't imagine a better place to stay in Austin. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
1875121,27831244,2015-03-13,240708,Gemma,"The cottage was so lovely - a quiet, stylish haven in a very cool part of town. I really enjoyed exploring a new part of Austin (to me) from here. I was working in town all week and the cottage made for a welcome break from my hotel room norm. Melissa was a perfect host, even being so kind as to help me with sending items I left behind. I will definitely be back to stay at this gem of a spot! Thanks Melissa!"
1875121,28296433,2015-03-22,662508,Mark,Very friendly and accommodating hosts. My stay was easy and hassle free from start to finish. The cottage was beautifully prepared and a great place to stay. Highly recommended!
1875121,28928360,2015-04-01,5191884,Karla,"BEAUTIFUL.
MELISSA & DAVE WERE THE NICEST HOSTS..!!!
THEIR HOME IS SOO BEAUTIFUL.
IT FELT LIKE WE HAD OUR OWN PRIVATE LITTLE RANCH COTTAGE.
SO CLEAN & MAINTAINED.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SOO COOL TOO. 
WALKING DISTANCE TO ALL THE COOL THINGS AUSTIN HAS TO OFFER. 
THE COTTAGE HAD EVERYTHING ANYONE COULD EVER ASK FOR. 
I WANTED TO STAY LONGER BECAUSE IT FELT SOO MUCH LIKE BEING AT HOME.
I DEFINITELY WOULD STAY HERE AGAIN ON MY NEXT VISIT TO AUSTIN.

"
1875121,29282487,2015-04-06,10512823,Amanda,"My husband and I stayed at the Urban Cottage for a long weekend in Austin and had a blast! Melissa was a wonderful host even though we didn't get the chance to meet in person.  All communication was seamless, the cottage was very clean and there were even some great refreshments, coffee and tea for us upon our arrival.  Melissa even extended checkout on our last day as we had a late flight out of Austin giving us a chance to freshen up before heading home.  The location is great to access all of what East Austin has to offer (food, bars, music, dancing, etc.) and is very walkable or a quick bike ride to downtown, SOCO and the capitol building. I would definitely recommend Melissa's Urban Cottage as it makes you feel like a local and less like a tourist. "
1875121,29670498,2015-04-11,3164565,Chelsea,"We had a wonderful stay at Melissa and Dave's cottage. It felt bigger than the photos and was very clean and welcoming. The bed was soft and comfy and the shower had great pressure and lasting hot water.  They were very thoughtful in the details, including refreshments in the fridge as well as coffee, tea, and oatmeal, and small amenities you might need such as a hair dryer and iron.

Melissa was very responsive throughout the entire process and allowed us to check-in a few hours early after our flight once the place was ready.  The location was easy walking distance from many great restaurants and nightlife including 6th St and Rainey St, but also provided the neighborhood feel of living like a local.  We would absolutely recommend staying at this location for anyone's visit to Austin!"
1875121,29928686,2015-04-14,29275134,Gentz,Everything was perfect and as described. Melissa was an excellent host and even provided a printout of some great places to eat on the east side (best side!) of Austin. LOTS of stuff within walking distance and the cottage was absolutely charming.
1875121,30293551,2015-04-20,11109375,Megan,"My friend and I traveled to Austin for a long weekend getaway and the Urban Cottage was the perfect place to stay! Melissa and Dave were very welcoming, and all communication and planning with Melissa was absolutely seamless. The cottage was exactly as advertised. It was clean, cozy and comfortable! The cottage was in a safe and fairly central location, walkable to most places within the Austin area. Melissa and Dave were very willing to accommodate and provided a great list of recommended restaurants and bars in the area. I would highly recommend the Urban Cottage for your next trip to Austin! "
1875121,30771972,2015-04-27,28401553,Todd,Excellent place to stay!! Close to Austins best stuff and a great location to grab a rental bike or bus to journey a little further!!
1875121,31037849,2015-05-01,12320761,Chris,"The cottage is an awesome place to stay in downtown Austin. Easy to walk right into the heart of the city, but a quiet safe neighbourhood away from the late night exuberance of Sixth Street. It's totally private with a personalised door code to get in. If we hadn't been out trying to see, hear and eat everything, it would have been a great place to relax. I understand the house itself is a local landmark - we came out one morning to find a school group on a field trip!

Contact was quick and easy - due to some transport chaos we weren't able to arrive as early as we'd hoped but Melissa was very flexible about our changing plans.

Melissa's list of recommendations is perhaps the most comprehensive we've ever received from a host with many pages of excellent tips and favourites. I'm just sorry we weren't in Austin long enough to try them all. "
1875121,31452279,2015-05-05,2212346,Emily,"The cottage was perfect. Very clean, private, quiet, and secure. The location to cafes, shops, bars, and restaurants on E 6th was fantastic and in general very centrally located. I didn't get to meet Melissa in person but communication was smooth and easy. I would definitely stay there again!"
1875121,31949412,2015-05-12,440846,Laura,We had a great time in the cottage. It was so central yet a great retreat from east downtown and very peaceful. We had many nights sitting on the porch watching fireflies and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Although we never met Melissa we had clear communication through the app and we met Dave who was lovely and very helpful. Definitely recommend staying here if you're in Austin - lovely place!
1875121,32760975,2015-05-21,4518723,Jeff,"This was a perfect trip. The weather was a little humid, but the accommodations were great. Melissa was easy to deal with and we loved the cottage. The neighborhood is central and has great food and little markets, I felt right at home."
1875121,33701232,2015-05-31,6656315,Michelle,"My best friend and I were visiting Austin for the first time and had an absolute blast! Melissa and Dave were fantastic hosts and their cottage is in a great location. Easy walk or cheap Uber ride into the city for great food, shopping and nightlife. The cottage was very clean and well-maintained, and the front door lock is programmable with an individual code for each guest, which makes check-in/out a breeze. If it wasn't for all the awesome things to do in the city, we would have loved to spend more time hanging out on the front porch enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. We'd stay again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
1875121,34206172,2015-06-06,2119818,Liz,"I was unable to make the trip to Austin but my son, girlfriend and friend stayed in Melissa's Urban Cottage. Melissa responded quickly to any communication before and during the trip. The cottage was exactly as shown in the pictures and clean and comfortable. The water and cokes in the refrigerator were appreciated after a hot journey as was the air-con.
Conveniently and quietly situated, it was easy to get to see all that Austin had to offer.
"
1875121,34538973,2015-06-09,31375327,Gavin,"Met up with my best friend from England to have a few relaxing days in Austin as we'd never been there before (he is not getting married in September, so this was not in any way a bachelor weekend:).  Loved the apartment, perfect for us.  Sofa bed really comfortable.  Everything we needed.  Loved the little bottles of Topo Chico (a sparkling Mexican water) in the fridge, a beautiful orange Italian SMEG.  The neighborhood is wonderful. Initially we thought we would be west of 35 because the GPS location seemed a little off on the airbnb website, but we preferred where we were: close to good music at the White Horse, and good beer at Brew & Brew (I suppose they also sell coffee).  We didn't get chance to meet Melissa as I think she was travelling but Dave was super welcoming and helpful.  Austin is awesome, especially if you like the outdoor lifestyle.  I've never encountered so may fit people, nor a downtown so thankfully devoid of shops."
1875121,34806531,2015-06-12,31723678,Ruth,"Comfortable and clean cottage in a great location in Eado, close to restaurants, bars, and coffee houses.  Everything from the kitchen to the bathroom is compact and cute."
1875121,35964077,2015-06-23,2300619,Annette,"The cottage was so adorable! My friend and I were gushing over how cute it was the entire time. It's well-designed, spacious, and private (away from the main house with it's own entrance). It seemed to be set up specifically for Air Bnb guests, and I appreciated that there were no personal items lying around, and plenty of space on shelves and in closets for your things. It was also very clean and spa-like with white fluffy towels.

I think our stay felt extra special with the details like sparkling mineral water and glass-bottle Cokes in the Smeg fridge, and personal suggestions on what to do and where to eat printed out on a piece of paper. Everything was very tastefully done.

The instructions for getting in and how to lock/unlock the door were very clear and easy. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and would definitely stay here again!"
1875121,37197777,2015-07-05,22194339,Andre,"The accommodations were great - a comfortable cottage nestled in a great neighborhood just east of 35.  Everything you want to see is within a 10 minute drive, $5 Uber, or 20 minute walk.  Walk to downtown, 6th street, Rainey St., etc.  

We appreciated the Mexican Coke's, Topo Chico waters, and coffee/tea.  I would recommend staying at Melissa's cottage for anyone visiting ATX!"
1875121,37793123,2015-07-10,8145115,Jon,"The Urban Cottage was the perfect place for our Austin getaway. The cottage's location made it easy to get around town, as most things were within walking distance or a short cab ride away. The cottage felt very homey and after walking through Austin on a hot day, we were so pleased to find that Melissa had left some cold drinks in the fridge for our arrival. Melissa was a great communicator and left an awesome neighborhood guide, outlining her favorite restaurants and coffee shops in the area. I wouldn't hesitate to book the Urban Cottage for my next trip to Austin if it's available!"
1875121,38496456,2015-07-16,6350227,Natalie,We had a fantastic stay in Austin at Melissa's wonderful place. The cottage is clean spacious and very secure. The location was absolutely perfect for the bars and restaurants of 6th street and we had no problems with our car or parking. Everything was sorted for us by Melissa. They even supplied us lawn chairs in our long wait for Franklin's BBQ! We'd definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends visiting Austin and wouldn't hesitate to come back ourselves! Thanks again! 
1875121,38877935,2015-07-19,36081229,Louis,"This was a great place to stay in Austin. Melissa was very prompt and friendly with returning messages and everything was as it had been described.
My wife and I stayed in the cottage for an extended weekend, and the location was awesome for walking downtown to see a concert, with lots of local restaurants and cafe's in the immediate neighbourhood.
The cottage was clean and fresh, and the air conditioners did a good job of keeping it cool, even though it was very hot while we were in town (not that that should be a surprise for Texas in July!).
My only word of warning if you are reasonably tall is that the doorways are quite low. I banged my head quite a few times before I got in the habit of bending right over to walk between the rooms!"
1875121,39789727,2015-07-26,4102196,Alex,Flawless!  The location was perfect and the hosts were extremely accommodating.  High recommended to anyone looking for unique accommodations in East Austin.
1875121,40227728,2015-07-29,6569564,Edward,Melissa was a great host. Everything was as described and the coffee and drinks in the fridge on arrival was a nice extra touch. The location is great and Melissa's recommendations for stuff to do and places to eat were really helpful
1875121,40923340,2015-08-03,10084222,Elizabeth,"We had a wonderful experience at the Urban Cottage in Austin.  The keypad lock made check-in and check-out super easy and flexible.  Once we arrived, Melissa had a parking pass waiting for us, so we could park on the street without getting ticketed/towed.  The cottage was great, well air-conditioned (crucial in August), and easy to access the rest of the city.  Upon arrival, we discovered a big list of restaurants, bars, and sightseeing suggestions, all close by.  The bathroom and bedroom were a perfect size for two of us.  We found the bed to be very comfortable.  Melissa was very responsive when we had questions.  She even went above and beyond and provided us lawn chairs when we decided to wait in line for Franklin BBQ (only 3 blocks away, a must do!).  We loved the location- if you are up for a bit of a walk, we made it to Rainey street, Sixth Street, and many restaurants and even breweries from the cottage.
I would highly recommend staying here if you travel to Austin!"
1875121,43146670,2015-08-17,38362116,Erin,"I cannot begin to explain how much we enjoyed staying here! The whole place is impeccably clean, private and adorable! We were able to walk easily downtown (just a few blocks to get to 6th St.)  and explore the city of Austin. Melissa was quick to respond to any questions we had and left with an awesome list of things to do, best places to eat (with her personal reviews).  We felt right at home and I slept like a rock in that bed, soft white sheets, fluffy comforter and the shower pressure was a total WIN!  I could go on and on about this place! So glad we found this gem! "
1875121,44359808,2015-08-25,5281587,Paolo,"Location can't be beat. This unique cottage was perfect for my needs. Cozy, very clean and comfortable. Melissa was very quick to respond every question i had . I really felt at home and I would definitely stay here again in the future! "
1875121,44951705,2015-08-30,8236849,Lauren,"This cottage was amazing! Walking distance to so many things; 6th and Rainey street, Silo on 7th and more! Quick uber or cab rides to everything else you'd want to see. The cottage was amazing, so comfortable! Awesome hair dryer in the bathroom ladies and an iron in the room so don't waste the suitcase space! Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone! "
1875121,45781351,2015-09-06,446491,Susan,We loved the little house. The was in a great location convenient to restaurants and only a few blocks from 6th st.  The host provided coffee and mineral water. The space was clean and uncluttered. The bed was comfy and the bedding and towels are of good quality. We both agreed we would love to stay here again if we return to Austin.
1875121,46345413,2015-09-09,4422993,Abigail,Melissa's place was amazing.  Exactly as described and in a perfect location that was walkable or easy access to everywhere we wanted to go by Uber.  Melissa left a great list of restaurants and places to go in the cottage that was super helpful also.  I would love to stay here again-one of my favorite airbnb's thus far.
1875121,46744377,2015-09-13,16333376,Sophia,"The location is great!  Walkable to tons of eateries and bars, we liked the east side much better than downtown.  Clean and cute inside, would def. stay here again! "
1875121,47661669,2015-09-21,8255138,Kristine,"Melissa was the perfect host.  She was super helpful and promptly responded to any inquiries we had.  Her cottage was very clean, comfortable and adorable.  When we arrived, we were thrilled to find delicious bubbly water in the cutest red fridge.  

The cottage was conveniently located, walking distance to the trendiest coffee shops and best restaurants.  The airport, Barton Springs and UT campus are a short cab ride away.  We would most definitely stay here again!"
1875121,48379466,2015-09-26,28822489,Cj,"Melissa is your perfect host! She was super friendly and informative. The cottage was within a relatively short walk to the convention center and far enough from busy streets to have peaceful sleep. Very clean, well maintained, and cozy! Free visitor street parking makes this a no brain'r. Why stay at a hotel? I know where I'm staying next November when I visit Austin again!"
1875121,49435026,2015-10-04,7496969,Stacey,"This cottage is great in so many ways!  The location is fantastic and walking distance to several excellent East Austin restaurants as well as being easy to get downtown.

The property was very charming and had absolutely everything we needed for our work trip to Austin. The neighborhood was ideal for walking to our conference downtown, and for exploring local dining and shopping options. We adored the hosts too! Melissa and her husband were very helpful with restaurant recommendations, and we felt lucky to have the chance to visit with them in person during our stay, because they were super friendly and also very knowledgeable about the neighborhood's history. We had a great time in Austin! "
1875121,50756506,2015-10-14,35034626,Paris,We loved our stay in the cottage. Melissa was really great- she left us coffee and porridge (among other amenities) and some great recommendations of places to go and see in Austin! The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated. Just as the pictures show. We would highly recommend this place to anyone. 
1875121,51285025,2015-10-19,2083410,Ryan,"We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. The cottage was perfect for two people, and Melissa made us feel welcome. A great spot."
1875121,51669757,2015-10-22,12405907,Ken,"Super fun, period cottage, plenty of room, cute furniture, plush towels, and ample kitchen.  Really clean - spotless.  Two air conditioners made it a cool retreat, and for a comfortable sleep.  Key/entry system was as easy as it gets.  I had a couple special requests for Melissa and she was helpful.  "
1875121,51910757,2015-10-25,1452417,Kristi,"This is a great place for two people. The cottage was clean and charming, and we really enjoyed the list of neighborhood suggestions and 'insider scoop' from Melissa. Everyone must go to the Blue Dahlia!!  The neighborhood is still up & coming, but is safe, and quiet. We walked to the neighborhood spots, and took a very prompt Uber to go downtown Austin. One thing to note is that there is no television set in the cottage, so if that is important to you, heads up. Otherwise, it is a nice cozy space."
1875121,52527336,2015-10-30,20893329,Michael,"Melissa's place is great! Close to everything you need, and she pretty much gave us everything we needed anyway! Nice quiet spot but not far from the action at all. "
8654347,50603971,2015-10-12,33466600,Emma,"We had a great time at Vincent's. We were his first air BnBs In his new house but he had hosted before at his old place. The home is very modern and cool. The room is spacious. The area is an up and coming area so there are new places going up but still a lot of older houses around that look a bit sketchy but we didn't feel unsafe, we had our car parked out the front every day and it was fine! Vincent was great with helping us with anything we needed, he replied quickly and solved all issues. He even got us some donuts and coffee one day which l thought was pretty cool. Stay here if you are in the area! "

8372581,48716993,2015-09-28,40973944,Arturo,"Everything was up to standard and clean, the townhouse was awesome and it had a great location! Definitely would come back again!"
8372581,51413598,2015-10-19,17212230,Ronnie,Isaiah was awesome. We got to the house pretty late and he still answered the phone and helped us out. The neighbors are all really awesome too
8372581,51923589,2015-10-25,26925876,Criselda,"We had a great weekend celebrating my friends Bachelorette party. There was seven of us staying at the house. We had just enough space. There were so many mirrors! Which was awesome, can you imagine seven girls trying to get ready using one mirror? The house is just as described, we all liked staying here. The only thing that kind of sucked was that there is only one restroom.
I liked that there is a Chipotle just across the street. Yum!
Also, it was just a short Uber drive away from downtown. And Heb is right down the road, perfect for quick stops to get food / drinks. "
8372581,52762807,2015-11-01,21644972,Theo,Isaiah was an incredible host. Very quick with responses and even provided an extra key last minute when we needed one. I highly recommend Isaiah and this location.

5051400,28702154,2015-03-29,1007834,Allison,"We had an absolutely WONDEFUL stay at Nicks house in Austin. We were there with a group of ladies to celebrate my sisters bachelorette party and Nick was so flexible and helpful during our stay. He also left the fridge stocked with waters, soda, and a few snacks which was much appreciated! The house was very spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The location was great in the sense that everything was a five minute Uber ride away, with a few local neighhood bars that we didn't get the opportunity to check out but looked very fun! The kitchen was huge and having two full bathrooms was very convenient. I highly recommend this space to anyone visiting Austin that is looking for something on the larger side and is ok with everything being a quick cab ride away from the main going out areas! Nick will take great care of you! "
5051400,29743134,2015-04-12,5210727,Shelli,"I planned a bachelorette party with 9 girls staying at Nicholas' house. He was responsive and friendly during the booking process and leading up to our stay. He was super accommodating, stocked the fridge with water, came and dropped off a few extra things we might need and was generally pleasant to deal with. The house was as described and as pictured. Very well decorated and big enough for the group. We were absolute thrilled with the location - we knew we wanted to be on the east side but the house was perfectly situated right on east 6th yet somehow wasn't super noisy. We were able to stroll home from the bars in minutes. Great stay - thanks Nicholas!"
5051400,32360476,2015-05-17,31120136,Duston,Nicholas was a great host. He had the fridge stocked and even dropped off an air mattress when needed. He was also very helpful with things to do in and around the city since it was our first time staying in Austin. The house is in a great location as well. I would definitely recommend this house and host to anyone. 
5051400,33084016,2015-05-25,28834664,Nicholas,"Fantastic home to rent in Austin TX! Walkable to fantastic restaurants and fun bars. Short taxi/uber ride to anything else. There is also a rentable bicycle station near by to get around! Nicholas was a great accommodating host. He was accessible throughout out entire stay with timely responses. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin. 
Cheers!

Two full bathrooms stocked with enough towels for the weekend.  It was an amazing location, just mile walk to 6th street and short uber rides away for anything else! Nick was amazing in providing suggestions what do and where to go for the weekend. I would highly recommend this location to anyone! "

The house looks exactly like the pictures, very clean, rooms are a good size and the garden is large. We didn't try walking downtown as it was always easy to call a cab or Uber, but the distance looked manageable if you needed to. 

This place was perfect for 4 co-workers to hit SXSW, without footing the bill for 4 downtown hotel rooms!"

The room is very clean and super comfortable and in a really location, close-in and near lots of the good south Austin action. "
6079005,30734735,2015-04-26,26588790,Othniel,Although we did not get a chance to meet Jen personally she was kind enough to let us stay in her wonderful home while she was away. She spent the time to leave us a lovely note about the place and some cool things to do in Austin while we were there. The house was very clean and was exactly what we were looking for. The location is great and close to everything we wanted to do. 
6079005,30910394,2015-04-28,24305287,Laura,Jen was such a gracious host! I had to make a last minute trip to Austin and her place more than met my needs. I had a great stay. Everything was clean and her place has so much character. I definitely recommend it!
6079005,31846073,2015-05-10,29001291,Carol,"My son and I recently stayed in Jen's upstairs guest room in her duplex in Austin. Jen has done an amazing job of painting her place which gave it a more contemporary feel. Her home is very organized, neat, and clean and she is a wonderful host - who even made us a smoothie for breakfast! Thanks, Jen, for welcoming us into your safe, secure, and comfortable home - in a great and convenient location!
"
6079005,32040996,2015-05-12,33003238,Maria,"Jen was the perfect host and made me feel most welcome, the house was clean and tidy, with the added bonus of a laundry room!
Jen's taken the time to write a detailed guide to the surrounding area as well as adding some other personal touches like 'in case you forgot' next to a wash bag in the bathroom filled with mini toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
The neighbourhood is safe and friendly with off road parking, Jen's house is in a perfect location for restaurants, coffee shops, bars and some great vintage shops, just a few minutes walk away (With a convenient fifteen minute drive to the airport).
I was feeling slightly hesitant as it was my first Airbnb experience , but after staying at Jen's house I'd definitely use the site again!

6079005,32211542,2015-05-15,11334768,Chantal,"We loved staying at Jen's place! The location is perfect, the room is very nice, the bed very comfy! To our great surprise, she has the best coffee maker there is... Above all, It's very clean! Jennifer is a fun host, filled with energy and lots of good advice where to go and what to visit. I would definitely recommend her!"
6079005,32862560,2015-05-22,33497737,Xander,"Jen provides a lovely, clean respite in a quiet home just walking distance away from the best the S. Congress neighborhood has to offer.  The bed was comfy, room spacious and quiet, and the rest of the apartment was well-appointed with thoughtful convenience items such as a coffee bar, dispenser of filtered water, and courtesy toiletries.   The guide of Austin recommendations she leaves for you in your room has some solid suggestions on places to explore in Austin whether you're looking for the best BBQ or a hole-in-the-wall place to get Thai.   Jen is a chill and BRC friendly host.
"
6079005,33021659,2015-05-24,24583791,Scott,A relaxed comfortable cozy home in a great Austin neighborhood. Terrific location within walking distance to the 2 hippest streets in town; South Congress and South First.
6079005,33760982,2015-05-31,23245523,Joseph,"Jen was wonderful! I stayed an extra day in Austin and was lucky to find this chic spot almost in downtown. She put me up comfortably on very short notice.  Thanks for the immediate responses Jen, your the best!"
6079005,34173114,2015-06-05,11525698,Lauren,"Jen was an amazing hostess to me and my pup! She was very friendly, helpful and made an amazing breakfast for us one morning. Her home was comfortable, clean and the location is prime.  The bed was super comfortable, which made it hard to get out of in the morning. I highly recommend this rad home and hostess!"
6079005,35005113,2015-06-14,3389784,Kristin,"I spent the weekend here with a friend, and as a fellow AirBnb host, I have to say Jen's thoughtful touches blew me away! From the bedside lavender oil diffuser and a sleep mask, to the neighborhood guide (with perfect recommendations) and the extra phone charger, Jen made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. 

We didn't have a chance to partake in her awesome organic fruit/granola/coffee setup in the kitchen, but she very generously gave my friend bottles of her super cool ""Before"" Elixir beverage, which helped rescue her from a night of flush-faced margarita sampling! To top it all off, the bed is like a perfect, comfy cloud.

As a former Austin resident, I can confirm that Jen's place is in the BEST location! It's tucked back on a quiet block, steps away from dozens of great restaurants, a short B-cycle ride to Barton Springs, and a cheap Uber ride away from downtown and all the fun East Austin nightlife. This is definitely the place you want to stay if you'd like to be able to walk to everything on South Congress! Thanks again for being such a great host!"
6079005,36332797,2015-06-27,16605212,Cormac,Totally recommend staying at Jen's. Location is perfect - set between the two best streets - South First and South Congress - and a close walk to the amazing Barton Springs.  Jen is a great host - super friendly and a very interesting person and has made lots of effort to make the room and amenities special. 
6079005,36637788,2015-06-29,34602049,Maggie,"Jen was extremely sweet and kind to us, and very receptive to last minute delays from us. She was easy to get in contact with, as well as just a big bubble of positive energy! The private room we had was perfect for what we needed (and one of the softest beds we've had on our trip). She was great to talk to, but was also aware if we needed space especially since our journey had left us exhausted. She had a fabulous location with a wonderful, small town vibe even though we were less than ten minutes from the city! 10/10 would contact her again "
6079005,37230819,2015-07-05,26800691,Randi,"Great time staying with Jen. She was a friendly host and her place was clean and quaint. Bed was very comfy and I felt like I was crashing with a friend! Location was perfect, very close to S. Congress (walking distance) with all of the cool shops and foods spots. Also nearby Rainey street was only a $6 Lyft away. Would definitely recommend to friends and would stay here again!!"
6079005,37525990,2015-07-07,36805007,Jennifer,"I can't say enough about how amazing Jen's place is. The room was big, bright, super clean and the location was perfect. A stone's throw from everything you need and want to experience in SoCo. 

Thank you Jen for making my first stop in Texas super rad! 
Jen :) "
6079005,37919858,2015-07-11,10577241,Marie,"Jen was a wonderful host, and her home is fantastic! Close to a vibrant part of Austin with lots of great restaurants and coffeeshops, but her neighborhood still feels quiet and peaceful. The home itself is very neat and clean, and Jen provides lots of thoughtful touches throughout that made me feel quite welcome. The bedroom is beautifully decorated with a lovely view. Jen herself is very friendly and warm and responded quickly and helpfully to all of my questions. I would absolutely recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin, especially other women traveling solo!"

Thank you for a great stay"
6079005,38775996,2015-07-18,16636353,Alisse,"Jen's house had a perfect location in SoCo. Walking distance to Gourdough's (you MUST try it!) and all the restaurants, bars, and shopping along South Congress you could need. Also close to Barton Springs and it was only a $7 Uber to Rainey St. Jen was a very welcoming host and had lots of little touches for us as guests like the breakfast bar and lists of things to do/places to go. "
6079005,39721278,2015-07-25,39425791,Joelle,"Review for AirBNB 

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Jen's. She was extremely helpful even though we made our reservation  last minute, on the day of our intended stay. Jen's house was clean and beautiful and she was very accommodating as we had our dog with us for our stay. 

It all the little details that she has considered that make staying at her home a pleasant experience, including: recommendations of fun food and adventures in every price range, local books to peruse, coffee, breakfast and filtered water. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my pillows and she had most amazing pillows and bedding.

We would definitely stay here again. The location is perfect and made our trip all the better as we were walking distance from Jo's, our favorite coffee spot, and all the best spots on Congress."
6079005,39897332,2015-07-26,4098156,Lena,Jen was an awesome host! My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to stay last minute and it was late at night and she really helped us out by offering her room. Very friendly and hospitable. Offered lots of tips on places to go and even provide free breakfast :) The bed was very comfortable and the sheets super soft! Would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Austin. 
6079005,41155670,2015-08-04,12223664,Elizabeth,"This was probably the best air B&b experience I could have hoped for! I've only done this once before but am now probably spoiled forever because of it! Jen herself is awesome, and the place is fabulous as well. It's in an ideal location right off of south congress, which is easy to get to from airport, downtown, and pretty much everywhere else you'd want to go if you're visiting from out of town. The house itself is very clean, cute, and spacious. It's in a residential neighborhood so it's quiet but again, you can see south congress from the end of the driveway and I couldn't think of another area of the city where I'd have rather stayed. Jen put out delicious breakfast foods, and was super friendly and made me feel comfortable but also respectful of my own plans and schedule. The bedroom was perfect temp despite the extreme heat outside and the bed was very comfy too. I'd def stay here again in a heartbeat!"
6079005,42013852,2015-08-10,5154177,Frank,"Jen has a fantastic place and she is a great host. Her place has a perfect location, only a few minutes walk to South Congress and 1st Street. These streets are lined with restaurants, bars, and cafes. For places further away, it was super easy and cheap to take an uber. Jen's place is clean and has everything needed for a good stay. Jen made me feel very comfortable in her home and offered me great recommendations on places to go. I would happily stay here again. "
6079005,44295595,2015-08-25,19650770,Donna,Jen is an exceptional host. She is warm and inviting and helpful. She welcomed my daughter and I into her home and made us feel like family. The room is very comfortable with high quality linens and a very comfortable bed. I would highly recommend staying with Jen if you are traveling to Austin. Her home is so centrally located we stayed for a week and the whole time we did not need to rent a car.  SoCo & the river & downtown are all in walking distance. 
6079005,45975879,2015-09-07,25945865,Anna,Lovely home in a great location! Jen's home is beautifully decorated and has all the little items a guest may need.

6079005,47822514,2015-09-21,33149335,Anthony,"We had a great experience staying at Jen's place. She made the whole process so easy with great communication, clean and comfortable accommodations, keyless entry. And the location cannot be beat - just a block or two from good eats like Elizabeth St Cafe, Torchy's Tacos, Gourdough's, Home Slice Pizza and more. "
6079005,50013579,2015-10-08,36805007,Jennifer,"This is the second time staying at Jen's place. Enough said! Jen is an amazing host and her place is perfectly located. I miss it already! Thanks Jen!

6079005,51159920,2015-10-18,21573565,Abirami,Jen was very warm and welcome. She walked us through the house and the kitchen and every little thing was mentioned. She made us feel at home. The bedroom was cute and cozy. The sheets felt like cloud. South Congress was a walk away and so were other good eateries. You could Uber from this location to downtown pretty easily. Jen was an awesome host. I would definitely recommend Jen's abode to anyone looking for a couple of nights stay in the area :). Thanks Jen! 
6079005,51647788,2015-10-22,27825567,Jacob,"Jen was amazing. She had a huge bowl of candy waiting for me to loot when I came into the house. She was very accommodating. I was impressed by all of the notes she had up throughout the house to guide AirBnBers. I especially liked how she had backup toiletries. It was basically like staying in a super nice homey hotel. 

Jen is really great to talk to and was a great hostess!"

6778628,42162582,2015-08-11,8233842,Aron,"The listing was just as described. House was beautiful and decorated very well! The location was perfect for us as we preferred being out in the suburbs, close to shopping and whole foods. We went in August which is a very hot and humid time to visit Austin but the pool helped that quite a bit! Overall great experience, would rent again!"
6778628,43798492,2015-08-22,37234183,Gary,"We had a fantastic experience in this beautiful house. Our kids loved the toys, bunk bead, treehouse, and trampoline. The pool was a great escape from the heat and the backyard was tranquil, private and quiet. We utilized the grill and the huge kitchen every day and the house had everything you would need for a family of 4. House is conveniently located 20 mins from downtown and 10 mins from Beecaves. Thanks again for a great experience. "
6778628,45096182,2015-08-31,37266923,Vanessa,"The listing was lovely and in a quiet neighborhood, suitable for short distance jogging or walking with kids.

2020449,9907489,2014-01-18,9069791,Ben,"Due to a very last minute change in plans, I was in dire need of a place to stay in Austin; Nicole & Derek were very quick to respond to my inquiry and opened up their guest house just hours after a previous guest left. They were very sweet and the accomodations were supreme! The guest house is just about a half-mile from South Congress - your gateway to everything Austin has to offer. During my week-long stay, Nicole text a couple times to check-in, but otherwise gave me privacy. What a perfect setup this is and I look forward to sending all my friends their way!
Y'all are the best!"
2020449,9968362,2014-01-21,11331351,Ryan,"Derek and Nicole were wonderful hosts for our quick trip to Austin. The house is in such a perfect location for exploring the city. Nicole was extremely fast in communicating with us and making sure we had everything we needed. 

The unit is in perfect condition and stylishly decorated. The bed...wow! It's like sleeping on a cloud. We enjoyed our trip to Austin and having such a wonderful place to come home to every night was a great bonus. 

If you are thinking about staying with Derek & Nicole - do it! You won't regret your stay with such wonderful hosts. "
2020449,10181427,2014-02-04,8200451,Amanda,Nicole was a great hostess (and makes great cookies). The room had all the touches that made it feel like home. There was coffee and tea available. There were enough utensils and dishes to cook for yourself if you desired. We will definitely consider staying there the next time we are in town.
2020449,10201525,2014-02-05,11004362,Cora,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I was so pleased. Derek and Nicole's place is very cozy! The bed itself deserves 10 stars. They were very accommodating proving us with everything you'd find at a hotel, but much much better. We loved the bottle of wine and the nice card. I loved how quiet it was on their street as we needed our rest after exploring Austin. The location was perfect. Blocks aways from SoCo which turned out to be one of our favorite neighborhoods, and only a few minutes to downtown and East Austin. We had to stay an extra night due to a flight cancellation and they were very accommodating once again! If we return to Austin, I'd love to stay in this little cozy place again.
"
2020449,10267725,2014-02-10,9668490,Brandon,Derek and Nicole were the best hosts! Nicole told us about the best bars as well. Great location that's close to everything (by car). And the bed is so comfortable!!

2020449,10352881,2014-02-15,11867707,Ray And Kiran,"Nicole and Derek were amazing hosts. Their guest house is cozy, balance of creativity and comfort inside - has everything you need and more to enjoy your stay in Austin (we won't mention the little surprises you walk into as well!) The house is easily accessible to anywhere you want to go during your visit, and they'll give you a heads up on great places to go for music, food, etc... (and they indeed were great recommendations). This was our first airbnb experience, but they were open and made you feel comfortable in their home, and were open to socialize along with their dogs in the backyard, but also respect your need for privacy. The highest of recommendations!"

The fenced in backyard is very zen like and you can build a fire in the outdoor fireplace.  The dogs were very friendly and stayed inside.  The hosts were very nice.  I said hi to them in the backyard by chance but otherwise the place is your own.  Inside the cottage was like brand new with a really comfortable queen sized bed.  The small refrigerator came stocked with club soda and beer which was unexpected.  The expresso machine was awesome!!  I would go back again.  Its perfect for a single person or couple.  
2020449,10717531,2014-03-04,11238427,Elle,"Derek and Nicole are amazing hosts! Kind, helpful down-to-earth. We were in great hands. And, the place is just lovely. It was a real oasis at the end of a long day sight-seeing. The backyard is so fun (and even more fun if you get to chill with the hosts) and the location is within walking distance of the Whip-In - a great spot for beer, music and food. All in all, staying here was one of the best parts of our trip to Austin! "
2020449,10754530,2014-03-05,8709729,Logan,"This place is absolutely wonderful! It is beautifully decorated, sparkling clean, comfortably private, and very conveniently located for a super short drive into downtown. My girlfriend and I would be thrilled to stay here any time we return to Austin! The extra touches of thoughtfulness were much appreciated! Thank you for helping to make our weekend getaway so wonderful!"
2020449,10785151,2014-03-07,846341,Annika,"Derek and Nicole were very responsive and informative hosts, the guesthouse was stocked with considerate items after a long travel day and I appreciated their thoughtful touches.  I had a lovely visit to Austin staying at their guesthouse and felt safe and comfortable.  I loved South Congress and the place was an easy walking distance to a lot of restaurants and bars.  The shower has a limited amount of hot water, I don't take long showers but was encouraged to hurry along as the water got cooler.  The bed was super comfortable-I would definitely stay here again just to sleep on it!"
2020449,10901685,2014-03-12,5174439,Travis,"Nicole and Derek really have a wonderful guest house! It was decorated really cute and we truly appreciated that Nicole to the time to leave us snack in the freezer, she knew we were getting in late, as well as a bottle of wine! (Both of which we are sorry we didnt get to enjoy we were so busy) We loved the close proximity to the city, as we were there for SXSW. We got a quick chance to chat with Derek, who was very nice, and they have adorable dogs. No problems at all during our stay and would definitely stay again as well as recommend it to others. Thanks to both of you for being so accommodating. Much better than a hotel! As this was our first airbnb experience, I would definitely use the service again. "
2020449,11112615,2014-03-21,7891555,Betsie,"Nicole's guest house is perfectly quaint and charming, just like her! She lives in a great neighborhood that's a short drive to the UT campus and downtown. The space is set up like a hotel room, but it has a much cozier feel. She took the time to leave some hospitable touches--a nice note, some granola bars (definitely came in handy) and a few drinks in the fridge. The bed is big and comfortable. The shower can get a bit chilly, but I think I did it the right way--go for a long run around the neighborhood and check out all the other cute houses first and you won't want a super long, hot shower! :) 
I really wish I would've had a couple days to explore Austin from Nicole's place. It was lovely! "
2020449,11215477,2014-03-25,11144292,Michelle,"We had such a great stay in Austin and we owe much credit to Nicole & Derek's super cozy guest house! It was in a perfect location - close enough to the fun and ""weird"" on S. Congress but further enough for peace and quiet. The guest house had everything we needed and more - wine, snack bars, and espresso machine. Nicole & Derek's tips of where to go and what to do were very helpful too! BTW, the Whip-in Parlour is a must and it's a short walk from the house - excellent selection of craft beer and really mellow ambiance. When we make it back to Austin, we will definitely be staying here again (unless of course it's a permanent move :)!  "
2020449,11264485,2014-03-27,2179644,Hannah,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay here. Absolutely everything you could need or want from a small ironing board and iron, to a super fancy/luxurious nespresso maker. 
Though we never met Nicole in person, we felt very welcomed by her snacks, a welcome card, and lots of helpful notes around the house. When our suggested internet didn't seem to work, she even gave us her personal connection. And, she was quick and responsive with help texts.
The location was great, and we never even heard her dog bark. This was my husband's favorite of every place we've stayed in airbnb so far. Clean, convenient, and comfy."

2020449,11349847,2014-03-31,6522744,Tamara,"Our stay at Nicole's was absolutely everything we could have hoped for and more! The house looked every bit as adorable and clean as the photos, the mini-fridge was stocked with snacks, and she had the air conditioning on and the house a comfortable temperature waiting for us when we arrived. 

Also she totally went above and beyond by recommending awesome local restaurants and bars (Elizabeth Street Cafe for dinner, South Congress Cafe for brunch, and Whip In for a night cap and snack) and we loved every single one. We are definitely planning on staying here the next time we're in Austin. "
2020449,11449235,2014-04-03,372315,Alex,"What a beautiful little guest house this is! My partner and I stayed for 2 nights, ending a great trip here. The photos are spot on, it's just as cute in person and there are a few added touches that are sweet and thoughtful. The bed is sooo comfortable, and having AC was great as it was really hot when we were there. Everything with check-in and check-out was seamless. I didn't meet Nicole but she was quick to respond via text. The location is great, in a homey neighbourhood and walking distance to South Congress. Wish we could have stayed here longer! Recommend it highly. "
2020449,11510259,2014-04-06,1694971,Beth,"This beautiful and spotless space was perfect for our needs in Austin.  We never met the owners, but we knew we could contact them easily.  It's a pleasant walk to what we think of as the center of the South Congress fun - roughly a mile.  What a nice treat to be greeted with wine and chocolate!  "
2020449,11546644,2014-04-07,12901989,Clay,"A beautiful room with a comfy bed and wonderful, thoughtful hosts.  I will definitely look here again on my next trip to Austin!  "
2020449,11832334,2014-04-16,1534620,Robert,"Wonderful place, full of character and extremely clean and comfortable. Nicole was super easy to deal with and would definitely stay again. Thanks, Nicole!"
2020449,12058085,2014-04-22,562589,Eva,"Nicole's guest house was cute, clean and quiet- we had a great stay. Nicole was even sweet enough to leave us some chocolate! The neighborhood was leafy green, parking was easy, and the house was relatively close to the hubbub of South Congress area. "
2020449,12183365,2014-04-25,7120072,Erika,"This is the perfect spot for a quiet stay in Austin. There is a lot of privacy and comfort in this space: private entrance, driveway parking, access to backyard, nespresso maker, mini-fridge! The bed, as everyone has commented, is ridiculously cozy. It is really that good! And the room gets beautiful light as well as privacy from curtains on all the windows. It's also sparkly clean! Gorgeous!

The location is also very convenient. Just a ten minute walk to South Congress or a 2 minute drive. We often walked because we are from NYC, but there is ample parking on S. Congress and side streets around the area should you choose to drive. Plenty of cool things right in the area on S. Congress (Jo's, Snack Bar, Guero's, Home Slice, etc).

Nicole is a very gracious host and we were really happy to meet her, her lovely roommate Erin, and to share her home. They provided good neighborhood tips!
We will definitely stay with Nicole again and recommend her to our friends!"
2020449,12330357,2014-04-29,11801428,Kim,"We loved staying in Nicole's guest house! As everyone else has said, it's a really cute little spot in a quiet neighborhood, and it has a really comfortable bed! I highly recommend Nicole & her guest house, though it is a bit of a walk to the 'main drag' of South Congress (a solid mile or more, depending on where you're going), so don't expect to be right in the center of all the bars/restaurants/etc. We're used to walking (or cabbing) everywhere, so we didn't mind the distance, and it would be a great place to stay if you have a rental car. All in all, it was a really great experience for our first visit to Austin!"
2020449,12810414,2014-05-12,11161492,Mara,"Nicole's place was super cute and cozy. The bed was super comfortable and we really had everything we needed. We didn't have any problem with the shower because I never wanted hot water - it was way too hot for that. She left a chocolate bar which came in handy and the nespresso machine also rocked. The location was a little bit of walk from most of the things we had going on (primarily South Congress) so we rented bikes which I highly recommend. Never saw Nicole, but she was super fast at responding to text. Definitely recommend this place! Also, the Whip-In is an awesome bar that is the closest to her place and we loved it. It is a convenience store that has slowly morphed into a great bar. "
2020449,12947551,2014-05-15,2903817,Erica,"I had a wonderful experience with Nicole and her charming guest house! The room was everything it needed to be- quiet, clean, private and super comfortable- and looks exactly as it does in the pictures. The Nespresso machine also really came in handy, as did all the drawer space under the bed.

I was lucky enough to meet Nicole, who was very sweet and attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. 

The house is located very close to South Congress (a picturesque 15 minute walk). SoCo quickly became my favorite part of Austin and I'm really glad I stayed nearby! If you don't have a car, getting around by foot is doable and there's a local bus that will take you right to the heart of downtown. I'd even recommend renting bikes or utilizing Austin's awesome bike share. (I would have if it hadn't rained terribly during my stay.) You're also a short cab ride away from the airport, so it really doesn't get much better, location-wise!

Overall, I would be happy to stay here again and recommend it to my friends!"
2020449,13134326,2014-05-20,12758125,Hanh,"Very cute place! Everything was as described.  Very cozy.  Would definitely rent again!

"
2020449,13238191,2014-05-23,766663,Erin,"What a lovely spot in the heart of Austin!  Nicole was a perfect host, she gave us our space, but was always available if we needed anything.  The backyard of her home is tranquil and private; a wonderful oasis in the midst of a hip neighborhood.  

The guest cottage is exactly as pictured, even cuter in person!  It is aesthetically keen and feels like you are staying in the home of a true designer.  The decor captures the funky and weird vibe that Austin is known for and you really get the full Austin experience in this home.

Thank you, Nicole, for offering such a welcoming and comfortable home.  We hope to return again in the future. "
2020449,13306867,2014-05-25,13056415,Belinda,"Clean, comfortable, and the PERFECT place to stay for your visit to Austin. I really enjoy the fact that Nicole gives you your space to come and go, but made it clear if you ever need to contact her she would be available. Ask her for recommendations on where to go and eat, she will not steer you wrong!"
2020449,13390830,2014-05-26,6562942,Carlos,"This place was absolutely perfect. Ultra clean, very comfortable and in a great location. I was very impressed with the amount of thought Nicole put into the space. I would definitely stay here again. "
2020449,13502156,2014-05-29,2415270,John,"We loved the guest house. It was very clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The ceiling fan and AC kept us cool in the Austin heat. Nicole was a great host. She met us when we checked in and checked out and was easily reachable during our stay. The neighborhood was beautiful as well, we went for some good runs around the area. We had a car with us so having the driveway made coming and going very easy. Although you can walk to SoCo, in general Austin seems to be a car town. Overall we'd highly recommend this listing if you're looking for a clean, comfortable home base while visiting Austin!"
2020449,13589195,2014-05-31,5627830,Stefano,Quite neighborhood. Very clean and pretty room completely detached from the main house. Very private and fully stocked with what I needed.
2020449,13659417,2014-06-02,7871415,Amira,We had a great time staying at Nicole's place. It was incredibly clean and the bed was so comfy! There was even 2 shiners and topo chicos in the fridge on our arrival! Perfect spot for a quick stay in Austin. We had our own car and were very close to most of the Austin hotspots. 
2020449,13774696,2014-06-03,6336222,Robert,"Quick response. Easy to communicate with.
Never actually saw Nicole and never got a brownie  : )"
2020449,13829258,2014-06-05,10439571,Tae,Nicole was very considerate and accommodating.  She responded to questions quickly and with great detail.  Her place was very comfortable and cozy.  We would stay here again.  
2020449,13861182,2014-06-06,6554296,Kaylee,"Exactly what we needed for our one night stay! Great location, nice and clean!"
2020449,13979579,2014-06-09,15778586,Seth,"Great little place in a quiet little neighborhood. Plan on having a vehicle (or a ride) to get around. Never bumped into the host but Nicole was very communicative from the get go and throughout the entire process. Would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin and wanting a little oasis from Congress and the east side Barrio at the end of the night. There were little snacks by the fridge which was great for a late night/early morning, no beer like a previous review, bit of a shame but who wants to stay in and drink!"
2020449,14077529,2014-06-11,5329691,Kylie,The house was adorable and very accommodating. My husband went on and on about how clean it felt and smelled! We loved the location and felt very local while checking out all of what South Congress had to offer. Would defiantly stay here again!
2020449,14487653,2014-06-20,6262928,Kevin,Loved the guest house. Super clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here if you're coming to Austin.
2020449,14761787,2014-06-25,16833491,Kevan,Nicole was very prompt with communication.  Her guest house was just as described. She had two beers waiting in the mini fridge and everything was clean and ready on arrival.  The south congress neighborhood was wonderful and the walk to downtown was refreshing after a long car ride.  I would recommend Nicole's place to anyone staying in Austin. Thanks so much.
2020449,14951758,2014-06-30,13199816,Kimberly,"Nicole was a great host- easy to contact, got back to us in a timely manner, and always friendly.  I felt like she wanted to make sure our stay was enjoyable.  The listing was exactly as pictured- very cozy and cute. The towels were amazing, and the little touches- from the wine to the snacks- were so appreciated. We loved the personalized attention that a hotel would've never provided. The water heater for the shower is small, but nothing that was an issue if the showers were kept timely.The neighborhood was great!  Only a short distance from South Congress, it was quiet and perfect.  We felt like we were exactly where we wanted to be. 

The only issue was the air conditioner. By day two, even though we did everything according to instruction, it really leaked. Nicole was great in communication regarding the situation, but in the end, it continued to leak the entire rest of our stay. That was the only negative aspect of the entire experience! If the air conditioner is in working condition, I would 1000% recommend this place! "
2020449,15438018,2014-07-08,8641558,Robin,"The place was very cute, comfortable and clean. Great value and everything we could need. So much better than a hotel. Thanks Nicole! I highly recommend staying here.

2020449,15698979,2014-07-14,10639360,Sarah,"Perfect place for a couple to stay while visiting Austin. My boyfriend and I were very comfortable here. Everything was so cozy and fresh - it's obvious that care goes into making sure the space is thoroughly cleaned. It was a nice, quiet retreat to come back to after a night in downtown. Great location as well - everything we wanted to do was no more than 15 minutes away. Nicole made sure we knew she was available if we needed anything, but we never actually met. I would be very happy to stay here again!"
2020449,15958591,2014-07-19,14783823,Ayesha,"This room was perfect; cozy, clean and very cute. It looks exactly like the photos. Nicole was a great host and was always quick to respond to our texts. The area is a tiny bit out of the way but it's a nice change of scenery and there are buses very nearby which can get you to wherever you need go. Would definitely recommend this room to anyone looking."
2020449,16679365,2014-07-31,18062453,Vennie,"This little cottage was exactly as advertised - easy to find, VERY CLEAN!  The driveway was very narrow and bumpy - so if you're bringing luggage from your car parked on the street, don't plan on rolling it down the driveway.  Also, if you're very short (I'm 5'6"") the bed may pose a problem getting into and out of - a stool would have been helpful.  Nicole was easily contacted and always responded promptly.  I would definitely welcome the opportunity to stay here again.  
"
2020449,16756533,2014-08-01,6532385,Lisa,Never met Nicole but the guest house was clean and quiet and cozy. The studio was small but well appointed and close to everything. Peaceful and well maintained property.

2020449,17225199,2014-08-09,18116380,Kristi,Great guest house! Nicole's guest house was perfect for our recent stay in Austin. Its convenient location made it easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. The guest house was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. 
2020449,17382961,2014-08-11,10973669,Zachary,"Our stay was great! It was a beautiful studio that was well furnished with a great bed, mini fridge, and cool air conditioner. It was perfectly located near all the Austin activities: south congress, 6th street, etc."
2020449,17540776,2014-08-13,11909336,Taylor,"Awesome tiny house. Great for couples who do not mind being cozy! We were not aware there was not a TV (we might of looked over that in the info) but it was surprisingly great to not have one. A great location in Austin, right off the highway and instant access to Lamar Street. We did not meet the owners, they kinda have a come and go as you please set-up.
Fun Fact: owners have USB plugs directly in the wall which is awesome."
2020449,17569887,2014-08-14,1200884,Kristen,"Nicole's airbnb was a perfect place to spend a night in San Antonio. We were happy to be close to downtown and still in a cozy neighbourhood setting. Parking was easy, and the airbnb was quiet and clean. We would definitely recommend this space."

We really enjoyed strolling down to south congress for dinner/live music/ice cream/shopping etc, it's a great area. We didn't get to meet Nicole but she was a great communicator and we really appreciated the beers she left in the fridge after a long hot day of driving! We would definitely recommend staying here!"
2020449,18009297,2014-08-20,5701636,Jeanne,"Cozy, quaint cottage in a primo location. The Whip In is legit - great beer and food. And it is a 5 min walk from the place. The bed was comfy, the back yard was peaceful and the dog was so cute. But we only got to see him once. I would highly recommend this place!"
2020449,18306379,2014-08-25,2696779,Jerome,"Excellent location! Private, quaint, & clean.  I slept like a baby.  "

It was about a 3 minute drive to South Congress and was easy to find off of IH35. Everything was very clean and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. The a/c was nice and cold too, which is always a bonus in August in Texas."
2020449,18501169,2014-08-27,17780123,Lucy,"My first airbnb experience was at Nicole's guesthouse, and everything was exactly as was described in the listing! The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and a quick drive away from downtown. The bed is also incredibly comfortable!"

The location is about a 15 minute walk from SoCo, and it was so nice to have a quiet spot to come back to at night. Also, Nicole was really responsive, from booking to checkout. We would definitely stay here again!"
2020449,18885312,2014-09-02,18027180,Milos,"We enjoyed the stay in Nicole's guest house. The space is as described - small, cozy and enjoyable. Everything was clean - bed and towels were very comfortable - it was well cooled, which was a necessity in Austin in August (both AC and fan were available), and Nicole left a good quality coffee, tea and beer for our enjoyment. We never ran out of hot water for the showers. The location is pretty near to South Congress area that is very eclectic and has several great restaurants and coffee shops. It is also within walking distance (~half hour) to downtown, or a short Lyft/Uber ride. We also felt that we had a complete privacy. We enjoyed our stay and strongly recommend the host and the location. "
2020449,18970952,2014-09-03,5476271,Beaudry,"Very comfortable, super-clean and very cute cottage. Arrival and checkin was smooth and hassle-free, and the place was full of nice little touches like basic kitchen equipment and local postcards. Highly recommended."

2020449,19490307,2014-09-13,19846011,BeckiJo,What a cute space! The host was very nice and left excellent instructions. Her dogs were sweet as can be. The room was spotless and very cozy. Loved it. Would totally stay again. 
2020449,19609091,2014-09-15,173930,Tolga,"A nice, clean, private place! The guest house was awesome, simple, and clean. Easy access via the driveway and very private. Nicole was very low-contact, high-service which is perfect!"
2020449,19823326,2014-09-19,18724783,Amber,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The little cottage is exactly as pictured. If I had to change anything it would be how loud the air conditioner was and how often it came on and off, but that is me trying to find something wrong I found it otherwise perfect thank you for letting me stay there"
2020449,20086522,2014-09-23,17896290,Sarah,"We knew we picked the right spot by the sixer of Lone Star she had waiting in the fridge! Nice, clean and cool inside with an extremely comfortable bed. Super cute and quiet neighborhood close to South Congress happenings and one of my favorite spots- Whip In! Her excellent coffee maker (and provided coffee) got us going in the morning and the air conditioner and ceiling fan out us to sleep at night. We would absolutely stay there again. Thanks Nicole! "
2020449,20174693,2014-09-24,13489581,Leon,"Surprisingly spacious, superclean. Nicole's guest house was amazing. The color choice of everything really blended well together and made the place seem more inviting. Shower was great. Nicole was very helpful and got the place ready on short notice for me. Parking was awesome since I got the entire driveway. "
2020449,20336132,2014-09-28,17504755,Marianne,"Nicole has a warm, welcoming, clean, and quiet cottage. Off street parking makes it especially easy when you arrive in the evening as we did. We loved the decor and the mini-kitchen equipped with coffee, tea, and granola bars as well as a a mini-fridge and microwave are great. We didn't have a chance to meet Nicole personally, the cottage was great and everything ran according to plan and her directions. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!"
2020449,20405317,2014-09-29,3504225,Jillian,We have found our new favorite place to stay in Austin! Thank you Nicole for keeping everything so clean and tidy! Everything was just as it looked in the photos. Comfy bed and the bathroom was clean and just the right size. Super close and easy drive to downtown and all the fun stuff. Loved it! Thanks Nicole
2020449,20533003,2014-09-30,21616154,Jackie,"I am absolutely in love with this place it is decorated so well and is very cozy. The location was perfect, easy access to South Congress and not too far from downtown. Parking was very simple and the place looked exactly like the pictures I couldn't have asked for anything more. The neighborhood was quiet and there was a great area in the backyard and Nicole was a great host!"
2020449,20603191,2014-10-02,3693339,Sarah,"Nicole let us come early and leave our luggage so we could go explore since we didn't have a car.
Great neighborhood close to South Congress!"
2020449,21010026,2014-10-09,147123,Tara,The place was charming and in a great location. Thanks for the place to stay!
2020449,21276348,2014-10-14,4037166,Asad,"Stay was excellent...apt exactly as advertised, everything was very clean and comfortable. This apt provides a lot of privacy compared to other air bnb options out there. "
2020449,21348804,2014-10-15,6879509,Kristi,"Nicole has a beautiful guest house.  It was exactly as pictured, clean and just wonderful.  Nicole was welcoming and ensured I had everything I needed.  I only stayed one night but would definitely stay here again.  It is close to South Congress and I walked back at night and felt completely safe as there were many people out and about in the neighborhood."
2020449,21399682,2014-10-16,21084055,David Joshua,Nicole provided a very clean and beautiful stay for us. We really enjoyed the design and amenities and how close our airbnb was to everything in South Austin.
2020449,21454727,2014-10-17,9313917,Gabe,"Nicole was very accommodating, I hadn't gotten in touch with her until late afternoon and she responded right away and we were able to stay that night. The cottage was very clean, had big windows, a/c and even a nice quiet fan. Having our own space was a treat. Location was great for us. We had a car but walked in the morning for a great breakfast. We would definitely stay again. "
2020449,21461515,2014-10-18,75988,Michelle,"This was exactly what we needed when in town for a wedding, a clean space and a comfortable bed. The space looks exactly like the pictures and I would recommend it to others."
2020449,21653203,2014-10-21,18424500,Kaitlin,"This listing is definitely worth the price, very clean and close to South Congress. We met Nicole briefly and she was very friendly. The space was perfect for two of us."
2020449,21714566,2014-10-22,5537905,Chris,Perfect cozy little back guest house. Me and my wife were only here for one night but absolutely loved it. Would highly recommend it to anyone that we knew heading to Austin. 
2020449,21759538,2014-10-23,2316395,Ann,"I spent one night at guest house and it was a lovely experience, start to finish. Nicole was available and responsive (if need be ), but ultimately offers a private experience. 

Beautiful home (cute-clean-comfortable) in a brilliant location - A total ""must stay"""
2020449,21964345,2014-10-27,4759879,Julia,My boyfriend and I stayed in Nicole's guesthouse for four days during our visit to Austin.  The space was exactly as advertised and did not disappoint! Nicole was also very accommodating when we dropped off our luggage prior to the 3pm check-in time due to arriving on an early flight.  The guesthouse itself provided us with the privacy and comfort we were looking for and Nicole (and her dog!) were nothing but kind and professional throughout. Would definitely recommend.
2020449,22048542,2014-10-28,22750329,Damian,"This was a lovely little spot near South Congress. The place has everything that you need for a brief stay. My wife and I booked a last minute reservation and Nicole was extremely accommodating and very friendly. The backyard was spacious with a fire pit but we didn't get to use it since we were only there for one day. 
Great place, I would definitely return."
2020449,22091238,2014-10-29,676236,Sam,"Great place and hostess! Clean, quiet, and comfortable! Really enjoyed my stay. Would definitely recommend Nicole's place! "
2020449,22123272,2014-10-30,22826909,Lauren,"Our stay was amazing! The house looks identical to the pictures, absolutely adorable and clean! Backyard space was so cool with the fire pit and seating. Nicole's instructions were so clear and had everything set up completely. No hassle if we needed to contact her. The location is perfect, so close to restaurants and going out hot spots. I HIGHLY recommend this place! I'll definitely be looking to rent again when I plan my next Austin trip! "
2020449,22412191,2014-11-05,22902010,Josh,"The cozy cottage was just as described! The neighborhood was very quiet and so close to everything. It took less than 10 minutes to drive to the heart of downtown, and 10 to drive to Zilker Park. The place was spotless, and very comfortably designed. Outlets/plugs were easy to get to, with a nice small desk to sit down and do some work. Plenty of hot water, and privacy. Will be returning here on my next trip to Austin. Thanks! "
2020449,22450738,2014-11-06,23348417,René,"Clean, neat, quiet and cozy guest cottage with a convenient location. Perfect for a solo or couple "
2020449,22470976,2014-11-07,13078248,Leslie,"Host responded promptly, with clear directions and expectations.  Exactly as pictured on the website - cute, bright, clean, and recently renovated.  Loved the back yard and seating around fire pit, though we didn't get to enjoy it due to inclement weather.  Loved having our own little house for our brief stay in Austin.  So much more cozier and quaint than staying at a large chain hotel.  We would definitely like to stay here again!"
2020449,22641926,2014-11-11,16079081,Chris,"Great little place which you'll find basically as the photos depict - no hidden nasty surprises. Nice and clean, with all the amenities you'll need for a short stay. Didn't actually have the chance (or need, being that everything ran so smoothly) to meet Nicole in person but correspondence via email was always quick and friendly. Really peaceful and beautiful neighbourhood too."
2020449,22772655,2014-11-14,12500764,Jessica,"Nicole's place is really cute, cozy and clean, and is in a great location. It's very prettily decorated, and feels very 'Austin'. It was too cold when we were there to use the fire pit in the garden, but this is a really cool feature. There's a small fridge, which was stocked with a couple of Lone Stars - perfect! Check in and check out was very easy, and it felt very private. Highly recommended for a wonderful short stay in Austin! "
2020449,22814211,2014-11-15,21643294,Vicki,"Loved the location for my downtown meeting. Perfect little spot if you need something short-term. Wireless didn't work, which is kinda hard as a blogger, but the location and price made up for it!

Hostess was nice and left me a welcome note. Heat worked wonderful on that cold night! Thanks.."
2020449,22994000,2014-11-19,2608307,Steven,The little guesthouse was very nice and looked like the pictures. Great neighborhood and convenient to a very eclectic area of Austin. Highly recommend!
2020449,23054301,2014-11-21,1425407,Graham,"Perfect place to explore Austin from. Everything clean, modern and comfortable. We didn't meet Nicole but instructions were spot on. Well located for a walk to bars or a short taxi ride."
2020449,23104081,2014-11-23,8793778,Eric,"The place was exactly as it appears in the listing - a cute guest house away from the main house. There were useful notes all around by the light switches, and even coffee, granola bars, and beer in the fridge. Very nice, the wifi was a bit weak, but aside from that, a very pleasant stay! A word of note - the bed is surprisingly high off the floor."
2020449,23212636,2014-11-25,6722841,Lindsey,"Nicole's guesthouse was perfect. Super clean, comfortable bed. And, walking distance to South Congress neighborhood."
2020449,23260691,2014-11-26,15103855,Matthias,"Cute little guest house with nice back yard.  Clean sheets, comfy bed, good shower.  Located in a great neighborhood and close to the Sth Congress restaurants.  We didn't get to meet Nicole, but that's because we arrived quite late. Just follow the instructions to check-in."
2020449,23286291,2014-11-27,5635187,Lowell,The cottage is described accurately and the location is in Travis Heights.  There is also off-street parking and it is very quiet.
2020449,23545702,2014-12-04,12863523,Angela,Nicole was a wonderful host and her place was perfect for my parents who were in town for the Thanksgiving holiday. The place is impeccably clean and Nicole was quick to provide anything they needed. 
2020449,23595514,2014-12-06,10004135,Adina,"Loved everything about Nicole's guest house! So clean and fresh! The backyard area was a wonderful bonus (even in the rain :)
Description and details were all very accurate, and Nicole herself was very lovely!"
2020449,23683867,2014-12-08,21939821,Tiffany,"The listing was accurate to description. Location is central, neighborhood is quaint and accessible. Amenities were clean and host let us have our privacy. Will definitely stay again next time we are in town. Thank you Nicole! "
2020449,23785831,2014-12-10,22402942,Dona,"Thank you for a quiet, relaxing time. Feedback for future. Keep an extension cord  available since mirror in bathroom is close to wall. Provide bar soap. Coffee pot still had water left in the machine  that looked old. Didn't  want to use it. A light in the driveway, as it's  pitch dark. Also, trimming the  hedge on driveway.  Impossible to get in or out with being hit by limbs. No TV didn't  bother me, maybe providing books  to read. Also a mirror somewhere  in bedroom, as space in bathroom  for tall people was tight."
2020449,23820642,2014-12-11,13264728,Kyra,"This was a great space and a great location. Very clean, comfy bed, and space for parking. Nicole makes check in and check out extremely easy. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect place for a short stay in Austin. "
2020449,24202716,2014-12-22,5327555,Homero,"Quiet and private little cottage in a convenient location just a short stroll out to happenings in south congress. Highly recommend.  Btw,  wifi works better by foot of the bed and with an iPad but not at all with an iPhone. "
2020449,24295096,2014-12-25,9517753,Ashley,The apartment was as described and pictured.  The bed was very comfortable and the furnishings were very homey.  The drive way was available for our rental car to park in.  I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin.  Thanks Nicole!
2020449,24492310,2014-12-29,11626812,Steve,"This room is in a very convenient location to the downtown Austin area and in a nice interesting upcoming neighborhood it seems.

The room was cozy clean with a comfortable bed."
2020449,24756253,2015-01-02,4399506,Keely,"My stay at the guest house was amazing! The location was very convenient, and the cottage was clean and just the right amount of space. The backyard is huge and has the cutest picnic table and fire pit to hang out around. 
Overall I have zero complaints and look forward to staying there again when I visit Austin next! 
Thanks Nicole for your hospitality! 
Xox
Keely"
2020449,25079708,2015-01-06,651992,Meghan,"Nicole's place was just as cute as the pictures - it was bright, clean, and cozy and the bed was super comfortable. The neighborhood is one of my favorites in Austin, and you're close to all the action on South Congress and downtown. We never met Nicole, but she was responsive and friendly in all of our communication. She was also very upfront about some quirks, like the small hot water tank and the fact that there aren't any toiletries - be sure to pay attention to those or you might be surprised! I'd recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet but well-located spot for your trip to Austin!"
2020449,25270812,2015-01-11,23591080,Marianne,"We loved staying in Nicole's guest house! During a chilly, damp week in Austin, it provided a warm, comfortable home away from home. We appreciated having detailed check-in instructions and off-street parking. We never met Nicole, but never needed to. The pictures are very accurate. The cottage is very clean, nicely decorated, and beautifully appointed. Bed and linens were extremely comfortable. We really appreciated the snacks, fizzy water, and coffee maker. Wifi worked well on tablet and laptop but didn't work on iPhone.  Hot water was iffy for two back-to-back showers, so space them out if possible. We appreciated knowing about the wifi and hot water ahead of time from the listing and were not bothered by them as a result. Overall, we were thrilled with this cottage and would definitely stay there again. Thanks!"
2020449,25436334,2015-01-16,23899483,Katie,"Nicole was on top of our needs and very helpful throughout our visit. The fire pit was great and we enjoyed a restful night by the fire with s'mores so don't forget to pick those supplies up on the way to the guest house!  The heater worked well and the bed was very comfy! The coffee maker made us the perfect cup every morning and we were thankful to have a mini fridge for our leftovers from the many yummy restaurants in the SoCo area. Whip In was just around the corner and we saw a great local artist play for free + went to Motown Monday at the Highball again for free (too an uber for just $7).   One thing about the guest house is the water heater is quiet small, so showers were quick and my friend and I had to make sure we alternated morning and night since there wasn't enough hot water for both of us one after the other in the morning. But all-in-all this is wonderful, safe neighborhood and a great place to stay. Thanks Nicole!"
2020449,25618771,2015-01-20,21295910,Meghan,"Renting was a breeze. This cozy guest bungalow is adorable and in a very safe and quiet location. It was so convenient and so much more personal than staying in a hotel, with the bonus of no concern about parking or noise, etc. The mini fridge was perfect for leftovers from dinners on SoCo and the space had literally everything you could need. The wifi was perfect on our laptop and we didn't miss having a TV,  besides you're here to see Austin! Lots of outlets for charging, utensils, luggage rack, and even some little snacks and coffee pods were perfect touches. The bed was very comfy and I love how high it is! We didn't get to see Nicole much but for our brief meeting at check-in, but they are a lovely family and we would definitely stay again."
2020449,25743509,2015-01-25,24530235,Lindsey,"If we went back to Austin, this is the place we would stay.  Cozy, clean and with all the little touches to make your stay great.  We loved the room and Nicole has done a great job with the decor.   You can't get a better location to tool around Austin.  From here we were able to check out 1st St., SoCo and most importantly only a short walk the Whip In!  Unfortunately, the rain kept us from using the fire pit and relaxing in the back yard, but I know that would have on our to do list after a busy week."
2020449,25938281,2015-01-30,1732893,Laura & Andrew,"I really enjoyed my first visit to Travis Heights...the guest house was exactly as depicted...although I didn't know about the Nespresso machine in advance, which was an awesome surprise.

Towels and linens were really nice and the space was very clean.

Nicole and Chris were great communicators and the bed was very comfortable.

The neighborhood is really quiet and I easily walked to SoCo and downtown. I highly recommend the ""Whip In,"" which is a 5 minute walk and is a crazy combo of grocery store and vegetarian Indian restaurant with live music and a great beer selection."
2020449,26096947,2015-02-03,23270438,Shannon,"Our hosts were great and we loved the guesthouse. It was perfect for our needs and was just the right size. They graciously offer their driveway to park in (super nice perk) and maximize the space in the guesthouse to meet a variety of needs. We enjoyed using the coffee maker and fridge (to store our yummy food-truck leftovers) and the bed was extremely comfortable. Great storage throughout the space made keeping all of our clothes wrinkle-free and out of our suitcases. Everything was very nice and super cute decor to make it feel homey. They were honest about the lack of hot water for the shower, but fortunately only my husband likes the water very hot. The location was fantastic- we took a nice walk to South Congress Avenue to explore shops, we were centrally located to hop on I-35 for a quick trip into the city and also south of the city for other adventures. We would definitely recommend this guesthouse to anyone staying in Austin."
2020449,26206595,2015-02-07,22933658,Bill,"What a wonderful time. The Cottage was just as described, very well done, decorated as you see in the pictures. It was very beautiful. Thanks for the tips on where to go for dinner and great music in Austin. We will definitely stay there again. "
2020449,26422551,2015-02-12,25240654,Edward,"Nicole and Chris' place was exactly as advertised...it was perfect. Close enough to South Congress, yet in a quiet, relaxing neighborhood. The cottage was super clean, comfortable and how can you argue with two cans of Lone Star waiting for you in the fridge? And oh yeah, great soft towels! We highly recommend staying here."
2020449,26928500,2015-02-22,8951423,Kristina,"This was a lovely space, exactly as described. I appreciated the owners' honesty about the hot water situation, and indeed there are just 5 minutes of hot water in the shower.  "
2020449,27121831,2015-02-26,2117097,Andrew,"The room is as pictured. Very clean and tastefully decorated. Better for a 1 or 2 night stay. Not condusive for cooking even a light meal. No sink, no silverware.  The coffee machine was nice.  Disappointing,  no internet at all. Their wifi did not even show as an option.  Took short showers, but not much hot water for the second person.  Did not meet are hosts."
2020449,27550432,2015-03-07,19584925,Paulina,"I arrived quite late - so was by myself, but the instructions where clear and all worked out well. The little cottage is exactly as in the pictures - so when you arrive tired at night it is the perfect place to feel cozy and at home. Plus the bathroom is completely new. There is a coffee and tea machine - and Nicole had left a couple energy bars in case one would be hungry."
2020449,27756744,2015-03-11,25042390,Caitlyn,"My sister and I traveled to Austin for a long weekend and the cottage was perfect for us! The coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator were a great help in the morning. Bed was extremely comfortable and there was plenty of storage space between the bed drawers and the closet. The water in the shower does get cold quickly, but we adapted and figured out a good system by the end of the trip. We didn't get to meet Nicole or Chris but we did meet their dogs and they are extremely friendly and very quiet. The house is about a mile walk to South Congress and is definitely feasible if the weather is good. A lot of fun shops and restaurants around that area. Definitely also suggest checking out Rainey Street downtown. We plan to come back in nicer weather and would stay here again! "
2020449,28513712,2015-03-25,15175120,Cheryl,Nicole and Chris' place is the best! You can tell from all the previous reviews. Everything in their description is accurate and the guest house is so cute! It was in a great location and easy to get everywhere. I recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!
2020449,28919873,2015-03-31,1645053,Jonathan,"I could tell Nicole and Chris have been around the block. I personally prefer to have a more private experience, so their hands-off approach was smooth and to my liking. The guest house is perfect for a night's stay and any shortcomings are brought up upfront by Nicole and Chris, leaving for a pleasant stay. I'd totally stay again!"
2020449,29391905,2015-04-07,26648297,Leandra,"This place was ideal for an Austin first-timer!  The location was awesome, a little outside downtown which we preferred, but in a really neat area that we ended up loving!  Nicole and Chris were great, prepared us for the trip and gave some great recommendations through their guidebook!  This guesthouse was perfect and suitable for our needs! "
2020449,29595567,2015-04-10,20147567,Sonja,"Das Gartenhaus von Nicole ist ein großartiger Ort, wenn man Houston erkunden möchte. Es ist ausreichend groß für 2 Gäste, die zum Schlafen kommen und ansonsten die fußläufig gut erreichbare Stadt erkunden möchten. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt und würden auf jeden Fall wieder hier übernachten. "
2020449,30046041,2015-04-16,28101408,Jay,We had a great time and everything was as expected in the cottage. Thanks!
2020449,30135401,2015-04-18,6868127,Christopher,"Cute and cozy guesthouse. The bed was comfortable and the place spotless. We had no problems with the water heater as mentioned on other reviews; there is also soap/shampoo/conditioner in the shower, which was nice. Nicole and Chris were thoughtful hosts, leaving us some beer to try and a sweet note. The location was quiet but close to South Congress sights and Whip-In, a terrific tap house/South Indian restaurant. Recommended!!"
2020449,30281474,2015-04-20,4937974,Jennifer,"My husband and I stayed at this adorable cottage close to Congress. Super clean. Very convenient to everything. Despite the Rainey weather we had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Nicole!
Jenn"
2020449,30513153,2015-04-23,20626414,Paige,"We were so happy with this adorable guest house.  The location was amazing!  Downtown was only a short drive but it wasn't necessary to go far to find several great restaurants and shopping, many we're even walking/biking distance.  The house was exactly as described and even cuter in person.  We'd definitely stay here again! "
2020449,30576254,2015-04-24,24864639,Bridget,"Stayed here for our last night in Austin. Beautiful neighborhood, and the guest house was very cozy and comfortable. Nicole and Chris were very helpful when we had a little mishap with the room! Loved the beers left in the fridge for us, and the nespresso machine was a godsend as we didn't want to have to find coffee in the morning before leaving for the airport."
2020449,31037420,2015-05-01,27532951,Hilary,"The guesthouse was perfect for our 4-day stay in Austin.  The location was great -- just a $5 uber to the main SoCo strip and $10 to downtown of Barton Springs.  The room itself was very clean, bright, and true to the photo and had everything we needed.  We were a bit nervous about the hot water heater limitations, as warned in the description, but we really didn't have a problem with it with one person showering at night, and one in the morning.  There was a slight misunderstanding about the dates of our stay, which they handled swiftly, fairly, and professionally.   Would definitely recommend staying here if you're planning a trip to Austin!"
2020449,31148201,2015-05-02,6893850,Ramiro,Perfect Location and Cozy Accommodations... Excellent choice for those wanting to stay close to downtown yet in a quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend this to anybody wanting to stay in Austin. 
2020449,31318244,2015-05-04,11212371,Linda,"This was a cute place to stay in a sweet neighborhood close to everything fun in Austin.  Nicole is a lovely young woman.  Thanks to Nicole and Chris.  Linda Brumfield
"
2020449,31447203,2015-05-05,17020198,Frank,The bungalow is adorable- exactly as described in their description! My partner and I had a very enjoyable stay- it was very comfortable and quiet. I would definitely recommend their home to anyone!! 
2020449,31698492,2015-05-09,27980595,Nikole,"The neighborhood was wonderful and quiet with easy access to south Congress and downtown. 

The place itself was clean, comfortable, and adorable. Loved the yard, though we didn't make much use of it. It rained while we were out and Nicole was nice enough to cover our bike rentals with a tarp."
2020449,32041689,2015-05-12,18153975,Justin,"Nicole and apartment were both great! Although we never met Nicole and Chris, they made us feel very welcome with a detailed email, note for us inside the apartment and had cold refreshments waiting in the fridge. Very clean and very accommodating. "
2020449,32162587,2015-05-15,19888215,Lauren,"This was my first time using AirBnB and I was so pleased. The guest house is absolutely adorable and in a quiet, safe location. 
We didn't get to make use of the backyard because of the rain which is unfortunate. But the way it was set up with the picnic table, benches and fire pit would've been so fun. 
The beer left in the fridge was a lovely touch. Would not hesitate to stay here again. "
2020449,32520818,2015-05-19,11130078,Katie,"Nicole and Chris's guest house was just as described! It was a lovely space that was within close proximity to South Congress. We only ran into Nicole once on our first night, but she was very friendly and accomodating! I'd definitely stay here again the next time I visit Austin. "
2020449,32733925,2015-05-20,20407034,Yolie,Cute little place. Great for a home like experience.
2020449,32910984,2015-05-23,31796924,Mariah,"We had a really nice time in Nicole's guest house. Finding the place was straightforward, even at night in the rain. It was an easy walk to South Congress, and we enjoyed our stay! "
2020449,33343112,2015-05-26,5648439,Brianne,"Nicole and Chris have a ton of great reviews for good reason. The guest house was comfortable, clean, cozy, and adorable. Had it not been for the rain, the backyard would have been the perfect place to unwind after a long day. The neigborhood is quiet, felt safe, and close to South Congress and downtown. 

I was actually on my way into town when I came across their listing and Nicole responded to my request in minutes. I felt very welcomed and would recommend a stay at their guest house to anyone. I would definitely stay here again. "
2020449,33807321,2015-06-01,2487908,Katie,"Staying in the guest house was great! Nicole and Chris answered any and all questions beforehand and checking in was very easy.  The guest house is quite small but has everything you need (and looks just as pictured).  When we arrived, the A/C had been dripping so the bed was wet but dried out in time for us to sleep - no big deal, really.  The Wi-fi also wasn't working but we didn't need it.  With both issues, Nicole was quick to respond and help us out.  We had no issues with the hot water and had hot showers each time we needed to use it.

Nicole provided some beer and had a few things in the apartment for us to use, which was great.  We especially loved the coffee maker! The backyard is absolutely beautiful and is such a peaceful setting. The location was great and was easy to find/walk to from South Congress.   Really, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.  I'd highly recommend it! "
2020449,34091109,2015-06-04,34067803,Yvette,"The cottage arrangements were clear upon my arrival. It was a darling cottage, just like the photos and very thoughtfully appointed. The hosts made themselves available should I have needed them, but they granted complete privacy as well."
2020449,34404128,2015-06-08,26270417,Pamela,"This private and bright little guesthouse made my visit to Austin perfect. The location is unbeatable and the easy parking and delicious coffee worked for me as well. I had no problems with wifi service and the shower stayed as hot as I needed. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable Austin experience. Thank you, Nicole and Chris!"
2020449,35089037,2015-06-15,16188051,Lauren,We loved Nicole & Chris' Guest House. It was absolutely perfect and had everything you could need for a good get away. Plus you are close by to amazing restaurants - which we may have enjoyed TOO much :). Nicole and Chris - thank you!! and thank you for being so great with communication before and during our stay but also providing us privacy - perfect hosts.
2020449,35431566,2015-06-18,13325531,Antoinette,"Had a great stay at Nicole and Chris's guest studio! It was really conveniently located, very comfortable bed, and all the basic necessities. The coffee maker great! The ac did leak, so I had to put some towels under it and ended up sleeping on one side of the bed. The internet was slow at times, but overall fine. Shower had plenty of hot water and they even had shampoo and conditioner available. Overall, good and comfortable stay. "
2020449,36151089,2015-06-25,25005504,Schmitty,Thank you to Nicole and Chris for letting my new hire stay at their place on his first visit to Austin. The house is in a cool neighborhood in a great part of town. While I did not personally stay at the house the reviews back to me raved of sheer comfort. Nicole was great to work with and I would happily recommend her place to anyone coming into town. Thanks again!
2020449,36349123,2015-06-27,30768459,Hilliard,"Welcoming hosts.  Accurate listing, and a clean place to stay.  Travis Heights is a convenient and quiet neighborhood to stay in.  Would stay again."
2020449,36621179,2015-06-29,28808646,Jessica,The private space was impeccably maintained. We felt like we were the first guests to stay there. Definitely a great and convenient option for those looking to enjoy any part of Austin. 
2020449,37300985,2015-07-06,31134572,Alison,"Nicole and Chris were very welcoming, even with a new (and very quiet) baby. I had a great stay in Austin, their place is very convenient for SoCo."
2020449,37862164,2015-07-11,7168758,Naomi,"This was such a cute little place in a gorgeous area of Austin.  Located on a small street, it's easy to find and 5 minutes from South Congress. If you like peace and quiet, this would be perfect for you as it was for me.  It has no television and connecting to the wireless can be difficult at times (although not impossible) but location is everything.  I walked throughout the neighborhood one evening and it was just beautiful...full of unique Austin architecture and horticulture.  Even without a television, South Congress and downtown are so close with plenty of entertainment.  The hosts were incredibly kind and easy to communicate with.  I only saw them once as they were quiet and made sure my experience was private.  I'd definitely go back to this cute cottage!! "
2020449,39193310,2015-07-21,26754032,Barbara,"I think everything that can be said has already been said by previous reviewers.  The property was just as described. We were extremely happy there.  We had no problems with the air conditioning but we were never able to get on the wifi.  We were out and about a lot and didn't have much contact with our hosts, who have a new baby.  However, they were friendly and quick to respond to our text messages."
2020449,39729545,2015-07-26,27945324,Joanne,"Nicole responded promptly to my inquiry about arrival time and restaurant suggestions with detailed information. We have traveled widely internationally and lived abroad and enjoy interesting cities, architecture, museums and culture. Austin was well worth visiting although it was relentlessly hot. The guest studio in the hosts' backyard was clean, tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed the Nespresso coffee provided and used the mini refrigerator for simple breakfast items. The cleaning supplies made it easy to wash our dishes and clean the bathroom during our four-day stay. Nicole's restaurant recommendations and music club suggestions were excellent. We particularly liked Elizabeth Street Cafe, Botticelli's and the Continental Club. Food was delicious and service staff friendly. We even met a transplanted Canadian from Ontario! The guest studio is about 9-10 blocks from South Congress in a safe neighbourhood but due to the July heat we chose to drive, park and walk. We appreciated the air conditioning and ceiling fan in the guest studio which was private and quiet despite Nicole and Chris having two dogs and a new baby. "
2020449,40332230,2015-07-30,24917447,Elizabeth,"The place was exactly as described-- well equipped and clean.  I read several reviews which said people had issues with the shower, but we didn't experience that.  It was in a good location, and we enjoyed our stay.   Our hosts promptly responded to our communications and everything went smoothly.  We never even saw our hosts, which is nice if you're an introvert.  :)"
2020449,40954733,2015-08-03,11182069,Aaron,"The cozy soco apt was just as described, & was perfect for us! Very clean & private."
2020449,41103377,2015-08-04,36901943,Brittany,We loved our visit at Cozy South Congress Guest House. The room was nicely decorated and well kept. The location was perfect- super close to all the fun South Congress restaurants and shops. We plan on visiting again soon!
2020449,42060591,2015-08-10,21223174,Carolyn,"This place was perfect for my husband and I for a two night getaway in Austin.  Great location, cute decor, clean and air conditioned. Nicole was very responsive and accomodating for our stay :) "
2020449,42410487,2015-08-13,20862690,Tiffany,"We could not have been happier with our stay at the Cozy South Congress Guest House! The house was just as described and pictured.  It was cozy, clean, and felt very welcoming.  We felt right at home and looked forward to returning ""home"" to the guest house after being out and about in Austin all day. The neighborhood was quiet and so conveniently located to downtown Austin.  We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks Nicole & Chris!"
2020449,42694173,2015-08-15,24490747,Alison,Nicole and Chris's place was adorable! We had a wonderful time here. It was very clean and Nicole and Chris were wonderful to communicate with. The location is a short (and very cheap) Uber drive to most places you'd want to go in Austin. I would highly recommend them!
2020449,43942680,2015-08-23,5944966,Jill,"Nicole was prompt and friendly in regards to pre-visit communication. 
I had all the information I needed to easily find their place and make myself at home in the cottage. It is on a quiet street and the bed is very comfortable so getting those precious hours of sleep was easy. While it was a typically hot week in August, the air conditioner made it perfectly comfortable and is adjustable to suit individual preferences.
The cottage was clean and had adequate amenities to provide for a comfortable stay. It's in a perfect location; close to everything in south Austin, but close to a highway connecting to other parts of Austin if needed. I will return if I am in Austin again."
2020449,44440613,2015-08-26,10087204,Abby,"Nicole and Chris were respectful of our privacy and responded to messages/inquiries promptly. The listing was generally accurate. The neighborhood was in a great location; it is in a quiet area of the neighborhood but close to South Congress and I-35, providing convenient access to restaurants and bars."
2020449,46147269,2015-09-08,10040299,Leslie,"The cozy south congress guest house was fantastic! What a great set up near a fun part of town. It was a very cute, clean, and private place.  "
2020449,46549758,2015-09-11,31687560,Sheryl,"The South Congress guest house was exactly as described, cozy and perfect! Conveniently located to where I needed to be for business and great food spots. I appreciated the squirrel motif too! "
2020449,46693179,2015-09-13,26453356,Francine,"Had an enjoyable stay with Nicole and Chris in their guest house. Place was comfortable and clean, and Nicole responded to any requests throughout our time at the house. Thanks for a great stay in Austin! "
2020449,47150460,2015-09-16,34628812,Kathryn,This comfy private guest house is wonderful and located in a great position- 10 mins from every direction. The guest house is equipped with most of everything you need. If we came back we would definitely stay here. Thank you!!
2020449,47543926,2015-09-20,27184010,Mandy,"We had a wonderful stay at Nicole and Chris' backyard guest house! If you have a vehicle, it is the perfect place for you because Austin is a very driveable city, and the location is perfect! Just a few blocks from the famous South Congress street, and 10 minutes from downtown, we had easy access to all of the food and attractions that Austin offers. The house was very clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated. It was also in a very quiet area, where we felt safe and secure. We had some issues connecting to the wifi-- even with a laptop-- but it definitely did not affect our stay very much."
2020449,47996297,2015-09-22,1012012,Nathaniel,"We had a great stay at Nicole and Chris's guest house! Everything is really nice and new, it was perfectly clean, it's a nice size and a good value. The area is very safe, as well. It was a perfect base from which to explore Austin and we were either walking distance or a very cheap Uber to most of the spots on South Congress. If you find yourself in Austin, I'd recommend staying here."
2020449,48123204,2015-09-23,10161838,Anne,Cute place! I felt totally at home here.
2020449,48395005,2015-09-26,11104896,Danielle,The house was great and a good location. We didn't spend much time there but the host provided a lot of information a head of time. 
2020449,48950929,2015-09-29,25233450,Krista,"Nicole and Chris were wonderful hosts! The space was perfect for the two of us. There was a kitchen station with a coffee machine and small fridge (with beer!) that made us feel right at home. The neighborhood was very quiet, and the house was very easy to find. We loved the courtyard outside, and could definitely have utilized the fire pit if we stayed for a longer period of time. I thought the picnic table outside was a wonderful idea too. We had a great time, thank both of you so much! "
2020449,49080176,2015-09-30,11553596,Alexander,"the house was exactly as pictured - cozy and very cute! nicole & chris mostly stayed in their house, but that didn't stop their two dogs from saying hello from the yard! my friend and i were greeted by a handwritten welcome letter and a couple of brooklyn penant ales in the mini fridge, which as a beer nerd, pleased me greatly. my friend found her peace in the exra-wide towels and toiletries provided in the bathroom. the yard itself was spacious and a great spot to hang out with friends and scribble on the picnic tables with the available sharpies. i'll definitely be staying again when i'm in the area."
2020449,49588569,2015-10-05,33073584,Cynthia,There was a sweet little welcome note waiting for us when we arrived. That was a nice touch.
2020449,49792166,2015-10-06,42171170,Ada,Great neighborhood and the host are very welcoming! Would love to stay there again!
2020449,49909948,2015-10-07,496430,Kathie,The Cozy South Congress Guesthouse was perfect for our one night stop in Austin. The location is minutes from South Congress St where we found great food and nightlife.  Check in and check out was a breeze.  We didn't have the chance to meet Nicole and Chris but communication was very efficient.  On arrival we found a sweet welcome note and 2 cold Canadian beers in the fridge.  A very nice touch after a long day of travel.  If we are ever back in Austin we will definitely stay again!
2020449,50614605,2015-10-13,16476004,Dawn,"We arrived late and were welcomed with a nice card and cool beverages.  The cottage was exactly as described cozy and charming...with an extremely comfortable bed.  The neighborhood was quiet, and we were very pleased with the accommodations.  We even built a small fire in the firepit, which was a perfect way to unwind after our travels. Overall, we had a great stay in Austin! 
"
2020449,50787128,2015-10-14,45142349,Justin,"Beautiful, clean, cute little cottage. Everything we could have asked for during our one night stay in South Congress. Within walking distance to South Congress (which is an art-lover's and foodtruck-enthusiast's paradise). Nice quiet neighborhood, Nicole and Chris were more than accommodating; I would recommend to anyone! Thanks guys! "
2020449,51609000,2015-10-22,17335710,Xenia,"The place was nice, cute, not too small, bigger than I thought from the pictures - enough for two people. The neighborhood was quiet, location was ok, about 30 min walk from south congress. Description was pretty accurate. Some of the complimentary things were much appreciated, like the coffee pods (I love those things). Wifi was unavailable, which would have been nice to have."
2020449,51721252,2015-10-24,34694340,Bonnie,"The neighborhood was the lower part of South Congress and part of comfortable older homes.  The off street parking was appreciated and handy.  The little house was exactly what the photo shows.  The bright room was cozy and comfortable.  I met Chris when I needed some assistance which he gave me.  Otherwise, they allowed me to come and go as I pleased."
2020449,52205065,2015-10-27,9906160,Ryan,Wow what a great place and a fantastic location.  Everywhere we wanted to go was within 10 minutes away.  The place was very cozy and clean - everything you could ask for.  Really appreciate the opportunity to stay with here!
2020449,52962522,2015-11-03,6202005,Jocelyne,"The guest house was modern, cozy and in-line with how it was described in the listing. It was a very nice place to stay, located in a nice neighbourhood and within driving distance to a number of restaurants. "
2222997,10938308,2014-03-14,3910629,Robyn,We had a great time in Kate's loft In Austin. It was very charming and beautifully decorated. She was easy to communicate with and left us amenities just like we were in a hotel! Couldn't have asked for anything more. AND the loft is a few blocks away from one of Austin's best taco joints and 1 block from a BBQ place that we loved! 
2222997,21280347,2014-10-14,17520598,Kris,Kate was fantastic!  She picked Ben and I up at the airport and drove us around the neighborhood to show us all of the hot spots.  Her apartment is fantastic!  Great experience!!
2222997,28074023,2015-03-17,1760719,Jenna,"Kate was an incredible host. She picked me up from the airport, told me about her favorite Austin spots, and even stocked her fridge! She is beyond sweet, so helpful, and the best person to connect with before you explore Austin. 

And - her apartment is GREAT. It's brand new and with one-of-a-kind decorations and furniture (that could only have been picked by super cool street artist, ask her about her work it's great). 

I could't recommend Kate's place, chatting with Kate, and the city of Austin more highly -- enjoy your trip. "
2222997,28161083,2015-03-19,9451598,Vicki,"Kate was a wonderful host. I got in late and she was there waiting for me.  Her place was very comfortable and clean. She had some small touches such as  breakfast in the refrigerator and various toiletries to use.  Good neighborhood.. within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, yoga etc. "
2222997,28463488,2015-03-24,25498985,Joey,"Kate was awesome, such a pleasure to deal with and the place is even better in real life than the pictures make it out to be! "
2222997,49664573,2015-10-05,21740944,Floyd,"Kate was amazing, her place was very comfortable, very clean and artsy. She was extremely helpful and even offered us a ride, so nice!  Definitely recommend this listing!"
2222997,50478867,2015-10-12,43296585,Justin,"Beautiful apartment decorated with really cool art in a trendy area of Austin. Kate went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of including breakfast items, and fresh coffee. Large restroom and kitchen, and access to a private washer/dryer is nice while traveling. There is a parking space that comes with the room. Leave your car there, and hop on one of the rental bikes right outside the building, and you can get anywhere. Would stay again 10/10!"
2222997,51004532,2015-10-16,12777251,David,The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
135178,2925423,2012-11-20,2584429,Ryan,"A huge thank you to Christie and Royce for providing us with a beautiful, clean, and comfortable place to stay.  These two are perfect examples of Texas hospitality.  I felt like I was staying at a good friend's house, and by the end of our stay I felt like I had made new friends.   Would I go back?  Not only is the answer a resounding yes, but I plan to reserve their house again next year.  Thanks guys!"
135178,45916919,2015-09-06,7636798,Adam,This was by far my best stay I've ever had. Christie communicates very well. So pleased with my stay beautiful home and very clean. A must Air BnB if your visiting Austin. Thank you so much for a pleasurable stay.
8735496,51967598,2015-10-25,25233442,Mark,Jessica's place is great. She keeps it very clean and is very accommodating. Highly recommended. 
435211,1264491,2012-05-11,1680883,Eva,"Very nice and helpful hosts, great location! It worked out on very short notice. "
435211,1552806,2012-06-24,2486685,Xaúl,"Cecily and Phil were amazing! Even when my request was last-minute, they replied immediately and we arranged the stay. They were very accommodating and made me feel like home. We even went to a bar and chatted about movies, politics, evolution and all things Darwin. 

The room is very cozy and the futon was surprisingly comfortable. In addition, the simple fact of waking up to home-made waffles made my mornings. They also handed me a set of keys and gave me the space I needed. I had a great time in Austin and most of it was because of them."
435211,1776393,2012-07-23,2225302,Karen,"Cecily and Phil were fantastic hosts - made me feel very welcome, full access to the kitchen, very helpful with tips and suggestions and fun as well and very good quality towels - in fact the best quality I've had on my travels with airbnb. I hired Cecily's bike which was the best way to get around although it was a bit hot - a few just under or over 100 degrees days! Austin is fabulous and there's live music just a block or two from the house. Would highly recommend both of them and their home. "
435211,2199608,2012-09-04,3301618,Katie & Jesse,"Our trip to Austin didn't start out exactly like we had planned but Cecily and Phil made everything so great and we ended up having a fantastic time in Austin.  They are incredibly warm and positive people. We enjoyed everything about our stay with them from the wonderful breakfast and coffee to the interesting conversations about travel, food, and culture.  The room was very comfortable (one of the most comfortable futons ever!) and clean and their location is very close to shopping, restaurants, and sightseeing.  The overall value is great and they gave us a key to their unit so we could come and go as we pleased.  We felt very safe in their neighborhood.  I highly recommend staying with Cecily and Phil if you are staying in Austin and want to explore the downtown area.  It's a great place to stay and you will not be disappointed!"
435211,3639526,2013-02-26,5132039,James,"Cecily and her husband have a nice, well-located home and provided everything I could want.  They were good hosts.  I'd recommend them."
435211,4035362,2013-04-04,2755067,Leigh,Loved staying here! The location was perfect and the room was cozy.  I was hesitant about the futon but it was actually very comfortable.  Cecily was a great host and we always felt comfortable.  The only thing is there was loud construction outside while we were staying- in the future I would ask about that.  But I would definitely stay there again!
435211,4265789,2013-04-23,2618840,Rimma,"Cecily and Phil were great hosts! We stayed for 4 nights. The room was really big and comfortable, stocked with all the essentials. They recommended some great things for us to check out during our stay and we definitely weren't disappointed. The location of the apartment can't be beat--we were within a couple blocks of everything that was worth doing. There was some construction going on at their intersection, so getting there and parking was a little tricky, but of course that's not their fault. We would definitely stay there again!

P.S. The little one is adorable :)
P.P.S. Beg Phil to make you a waffle."
435211,4620662,2013-05-16,4316736,Lisa,"Cecily andv Phil both made my time in Austin very enjoyable. They make their guest feel right at home in their home. Both very easy to be around and also very generous with their knowledge of Austin and America. The room is very spacious and being partially underground, the home is a cool  haven when the Austin sun is hot. I would highly recommend a visit with Cecily and Phil if you are going to Austin. Also the location is great, very close to downtown and in a quiet area. "
435211,5496717,2013-07-02,6944300,Alexander,"Cecily and her family were incredibly warm and welcoming during my Austin visit - I'm still reflecting upon what a great time I had during my time there, and their hospitality was a very big part of it. Everything was clean and accommodating, the hosts themselves friendly and helpful, with hints on things to try and places to see, as well as a helpful insider's look on the changing city itself. Very highly recommended!"
435211,7547287,2013-09-24,5791283,Einat,"Our stay here was an invaluable experience for my wife and me.  We visited Austin from the northeast to scout it out for a potential move next year -- this is a very big & scary thing for us.
We could not thank Cecily & Fam enough for their warmth and hospitality; their influence on our experience in this city was vast and incredibly informative.
Besides how awesome they were, the location and house are both AMAZING!  Cannot stress how awesome the location was for walking downtown, through the green belt, to Zilker Park, to Wholefoods, to see bats under the Congress Ave bridge, et cetera. (disclaimer: we're NYers and don't mind walking 20 minutes to take in neighborhoods and atmosphere). (PS: Zip car cars also located TWO street blocks away -- amazing!) Look the location up and see how central it is for yourself.
If you're looking for an authentic stay in Austin, in an incredibly historic and beautiful home, centered in the heart of downtown we can't recommend this place more highly.
Thanks again for a wonderful vacation and view into our future."
435211,8406961,2013-10-29,289115,Michael,"There were no surprises in the accommodations; everything matched the description. The hosts are positive, sunny, and all-around lovely people. I would definitely stay again."
435211,8586084,2013-11-06,9123190,Hari,Great house and great family to stay with. House was very comfortable and the family was very friendly. Thanks for letting us use the bicycle and the umbrella!  Only issue is that there was a couple of waits for the bathroom - one bathroom and four adults + baby = hang out for a couple of minutes till the door opens.
435211,8821515,2013-11-19,9683379,Stacey,"My son and I had a wonderful stay with Cecily, Phil and their adorable daughter. Their apartment is very comfortable and the location cannot be beat. They had wonderful suggestions for activities and places to eat and really made our stay in Austin great. "
435211,10554838,2014-02-24,11586007,Daan,Thank you for your hospitality. I thoroughly appreciated you guys let me hang out besides offering the room. Great location and I wi be back soon! 
435211,10992752,2014-03-16,12864442,Ness,"I loved staying at the 'Austin Historic home bedroom only' with Cecily, Phil, and their beautiful 18month daughter.  Although I was only in the apartment for 5 hours at a time, because of all the SXSW events going on, I felt as if I were at a family members home.  Slept on a comfy futon.  House was clean.  They offered breakfast, but I was always rushing out of the house and I never had the chance to sit down and eat with them.  I LOVED the location, it was 2 blocks away from where I needed to DJ.  I highly recommend staying there, hope I'm able to stay at the same location next year.  Thank you Cecily & Phil I enjoyed my convos and staying at your lovely home.  Cheers. "
435211,11925636,2014-04-19,13115767,Kira,I had a wonderful stay. They had good advice on where to eat. Good walking distance to much of downtown. Clean comfortable room. 
435211,13770945,2014-06-03,4516447,Xiao,"great experience in Austin. was definitely able to get a feel for the ""real"" Austin, main reason why I prefer airbnb over standard hotels. the location is great and the hosts are very accommodating with any of your needs. great place to enjoy Austin.

Also their baby is super adorable"
435211,13971325,2014-06-09,13871177,Donna,"Cecily & Phil were wonderful hosts! Coffee each morning, nice, cold air conditioned  room with the Austin heat & humidity. Very comfortable bed & large room for my 4 night stay. Really augmented my Austin experience! "
435211,16585740,2014-07-29,4160613,Shane,"I couldn't have asked for a better experience than staying Cecily, Phil and their beautiful daughter.  They were all warm and inviting hosts, I felt at home my entire stay in their apartment, and their daughter is a complete sweetheart.  Cecily and Phil were great at offering advice on what to do and how to get around, and Cecily was even kind enough to invite me to join them in going to the Salt Lick outside of Austin, which was amazing!  Cecily also makes really great coffee :)  The room was exactly as listed, the futon bed was quite comfortable, and the A/C unit kept the room nice and cool, even threw the heat of an Austin summer day.  I would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Austin!"
435211,19160719,2014-09-07,5828599,Amber,"I had a really great time staying with Cecily, Phillip, and their daughter. They were very welcoming and recommended some great places to check out. The house is wonderful and in an amazing location. I definitely recommend staying with them if you have the chance. "
435211,19753925,2014-09-17,12222411,Jason,"Cecily was very helpful and really kind. She made us coffee every morning, and helped us find what we were looking for whenever we asked. She also had a very helpful book with suggested things to do and restaurants around town in the room. Thanks Cecily!"
435211,20096851,2014-09-23,5806683,Paige,"Cecily was a wonderful host and my trip was delightful. The home was ecclectic and inviting and wonderfully located within walking distance to downtown, whole foods and the river. My stay was wonderful and Cecily was very helpful with directions and recommendations. I highly recommend staying as an alternative to busy, expensive downtown hotels!"
435211,21285422,2014-10-14,3690420,Sébastien,"Cecily's place was very nice. Located in a very convenient place as it was very quiet but quite close to the living heart of the city (6th street). The bedroom was very neat, clean and comfortable.
Cecily was very kind and welcoming, and gave me precious advice for visiting the city. And the little child was absolutely adorable :)
Definitely recommend this spot!"
435211,22017387,2014-10-28,5744354,Jonathan,"I really enjoyed staying here. The place is very well-located in the city (a 10-minute walk to 6th and Congress) and on a nice, relatively quiet street. The place is straightforward and cozy; though small, it's easy to get privacy. Cecily is a lovely host and is very flexible when it comes to arrival and departure times, and all other comings and goings. If I need an Airbnb the next time I come to Austin, I would happily reach out to Cecily again."
435211,22691919,2014-11-12,17183566,Daniela,"Cecily and her little familiy were very warm and welcoming. Big thanx to that. And even the whole house, the flat is in, is very open, arty and welcoming.Thanx to Blair, the one of a kind landlord! I very quickly felt home and happy to be part of the whole thing. On the other hand I did have perfect privacy when ever I felt like it. Posey the little toddler was just an amazing sweety! Smiling all over her face everytime I saw her. As I was in Austin due to a Conference I didn't have as much time as I would have wanted to have with Cecily and Posey, but that's the way it is.
Thanx for that great week, I would definitely come back."
435211,22906765,2014-11-17,4679427,Dustin,"Great stay with Cecily. Location is central (2 blocks from the first bars and restos, just a 10-min walk from 6th St, and 3 blocks from buses to take you anywhere) but it was quiet and peaceful at the house. Cecily was very helpful and friendly, and Posey was fun to play with! She was actually pretty well-behaved and the door blocks enough of the noise, so don't let that stop you. Just a little dark since it's a basement, but other than that, everything was great!"
435211,24566204,2014-12-30,6885432,Cynthia,Cecily was a fantastic host and was incredibly accommodating. Also the location couldn't be better! I feel so lucky to have been able to stay. Highly recommended. 
435211,25007913,2015-01-05,1495430,Sophia,"Cecily's place was warm, welcoming, and clean. Because it's conveniently located downtown, it makes for a great base to explore Austin. My husband and I slept soundly and found Cecily to be very accommodating. We also used the well-equipped kitchen to make ourselves breakfast and reheat some food; it's a luxury to have access to a great kitchen when traveling. I'd stay here again!"
435211,25850908,2015-01-27,1609601,Brian,"Staying with Cecily was a really wonderful experience. We came at an unreasonably cold time (for Austin) and she provided extra blankets and a space heater. She made breakfast in the morning, told us where to get BBQ tacos, and was generally just such a sweet host."
435211,26104223,2015-02-03,3914333,Rachel,"Cecily was a great host and provided exactly what we were looking for - friendly but non-intrusive. She gave us some great recommendations for eats around the neighborhood!

The bed, though a futon, was enough to provide us with several cozy and comfortable nights' sleep. 

The best part of the stay is its central location; can't beat the 10-minute walk to bars and live music around Austin. If we go back, we'll totally reach out to Cecily again!
"
435211,26358989,2015-02-10,25281793,Eileen,"Cecily was so nice! She was very welcoming and made my friend and I feel at home right away. We arrived late and were so fortunate that she was awake and waiting for us, very nice of her. We had a very comfy bed and a great size room. The only bad point of the bed was that the blankets were a bit small so my friend and I were playing tug of war. She did supply us with more blankets so the second night was better. She supplied us with a binder full of past reviews from customers and things to do in the city which helped us a lot. In the morning she had coffee waiting for us in which was a godsend! She had a lot of helpful recommendations of things to do. I'm bummed we didn't get to meet Posey, but we heard her a little in the mornings and she seemed adorable!  We had such an amazing experience at Cecily's and I would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
435211,27395760,2015-03-03,10323803,Sheere,"Though it was a basement, space, we had a pleasant and cosy experience staying at Cecily's place! The weather was unexpectedly cold when we were up in Austin, but fortunately Cecily provided us a space heater to warm us up. Posey was also very adorable!"
435211,29860003,2015-04-13,29739531,Margaret,"Cecily was a great host. Her apartment is very conveniently located, and we could walk to everything. The room was nice, and she was very considerate about making sure that we had everything that we needed."
435211,30313403,2015-04-20,29539254,Arina,"Very simple and good contact with Cecily. Arrival was smooth and friendly. Apartment looks exactly what I expected from the photos. Fine bed. Price is fair for this neighborhood (lot's restaurants, bars, very central). The location is superb!"
435211,30769355,2015-04-27,9469594,Karyssa,"We had a great 5 day trip in Austin staying at Cecily's.

Cecily's place is in an excellent location-we didn't rent a car so it was ideal to be just a few blocks from downtown. It was pretty easy to walk and occasionally take the bus to explore the city.

Cecily was a very courteous and informative host and she provided plenty of tips on things to do and how to get around town.  Her daughter Posey was absolutely adorable!

Our room was very spacious and comfortable with A/C, a mini fridge, a dresser, bathrobes, and plenty of outlets.  The house itself is lovely, with a beautiful yard full of flowers and palm trees.

I highly recommend staying at Cecily's for a great Austin experience!"
435211,32572897,2015-05-19,32015218,Cooper,"Cecily was a perfect host who provided amazing hospitality and great insight on things to do around Austin. She had a welcome book that included brochures of destinations and maps of downtown.

Her neighborhood was awesome and very convenient. Cecily lives right next to 6th street which had many great restaurants such as Walton's (which has an incredible breakfast sandwich). There was a ""B Cycle"" a few blocks away which we could ride to any point of interest. Since her home was near the center of the city, it was easy to explore every district that Austin has to offer.

If you are looking for an airbnb location in downtown Austin, I would extremely recommend staying with Cecily."
435211,33175692,2015-05-25,33437383,Joseph,This was my first airb&b experience and it was great.  Cecily was a wonderful host.  Her place was clean and inviting.  The location was perfect.
435211,33509862,2015-05-29,30981271,Alina,"Cecily was a wonderful host, incredibly kind and welcoming. The space was just as she described it and catered to our every need. The neighborhood was steps away from Downtown Austin but perfectly hidden away from the hustle and bustle of 6th Street. We were able to walk to almost everywhere, and never had any issues coming and going whenever we pleased. Cecily's daughter was absolutely adorable and very well behaved, considering she is a toddler who wakes up early in the morning, we barely ever heard her and when we did, it was the cutest thing. The entire space was clean and very well taken care of. The bed was HUGE, that was a great plus. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and are happy that our first experience with airbnb was so pleasant. "
435211,34425034,2015-06-08,31075130,Christine,"We had a wonderful time at Cecily's place! Austin is a great time - and her place was the perfect base for our adventures. We were able to walk or ride bikes to all of the attractions we wanted to see - 6th street, Rainey street, Barton Springs, Congress Bridge, etc. Even though her place is so close to the action, our room was very quiet and we slept great! The room was quiet and dark with a king size bed. Cecily was very friendly and gave us great recommendations about what to see and do in the city. We were even lucky enough to get a ride to the airport from Cecily - which was really going above and beyond with hospitality. Thank you for everything Cecily!! "
435211,36805473,2015-07-01,19134995,Steve,Cecily was a wonderful host start to finish! Everything was exactly as described and the location can't be beat. Would definitely stay here again.
435211,40021346,2015-07-27,26907930,Cindy,"Cecily was very accommodating during mine and my boyfriends' stay.  I was in Austin for a conference and I wasn't sure too sure when I'd be able to arrive to the room so luckily she was flexible. The location was great - we had our car but we walked everywhere. The room description is accurate and it was perfect for us. We love exploring where we go so the downtime we had, we would hop onto the internet which was quite fast! Great stay. "
435211,42165915,2015-08-11,34726272,Kristina,"Cecily really makes you feel welcome! She is a wonderful and kind host. The house is so cosy and pleasant, and the neighbourhood is very quiet and nice. It's very close to the Austin Convention Centre and a great Whole Foods store. Really recommend staying at Cecily's!"
435211,43180628,2015-08-17,38018035,Megan,Cecily's was a great host and offered a great size room and living space. She had a spare key so I could come and go as I pleased and she had plenty of tips and suggestions about the area. Her place was just 2-3 blocks from a few restaurants and only 2+ blocks from several bars and restaurants. 
435211,47957468,2015-09-22,33409728,Ebony,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was lovely! The family was welcoming, flexible, helpful, and personable. The room was as described with a very big bed. There was a window AC unit and a mini fridge in the room. We didn't rent a car and the bus stops were very close. We would definitely stay here again and I recommend it."
435211,48900729,2015-09-29,42080803,Michael,"I had a very good experience staying at Cecily's place.  The room is spacious.  With the bed set up as a single there was plenty of room for my daily yoga practice.  And Cecily did a lot to make me comfortable.  The simple breakfast was elegant and delicious, she provided a terrycloth robe, and she had a pitcher of water waiting for me--much appreciated in the Texas heat.  I had a key, came and went as I pleased, and felt at home.

The location is within walking distance of restaurants, clubs, and other businesses.  It's also just a few blocks from a station for BCycle, the bicycle sharing system.  There is a driveway for off-street parking. "
435211,49775382,2015-10-06,15395687,Junki,"Cecily was a great host! Her home is in an unbeatable location just two blocks from 6th street. We used the B-Cycles to get around town which was a perfect way to see the city, and there was a B-Cycle station just 2 blocks away. The house is located a few blocks from the biggest Whole Foods, 2 blocks from a bike-only trail, and 2 miles from Barton Springs."
435211,50621356,2015-10-13,36052728,Phil,Cecily was such an amazing host! The experience was exactly what I expected and matched the description on AirBNB. Cecily was super friendly and made me feel right at home. I would definitely stay again! Thank you for having me!

It really is the perfect location as it's two blocks away from Sixth Street so you hear nothing from the home but just minutes away from all the activity."
435211,52081939,2015-10-26,3920770,Merrie Beth,We had a wonderful stay!  Cecily's place was nicer than described.  The best part was the welcome feeling we received prior to arrival.  The accommodations were perfect and you could not ask for a better location.  I was originally concerned about the bed but it turned out more comfortable than our own.  The fridge in the room and cold water were a nice touch.  It was great to meet the family and talk everything Austin.  Awesome all around!
435211,52979241,2015-11-03,44942543,Jay,"Cecily was a fantastic host! The room had everything I needed for my short stay. Cecily was welcoming, helpful, and yet provided me with plenty of space. I had no trouble contacting her when I needed something. The bed was comfortable, and the neighborhood felt safe, yet was close enough to walk downtown. Highly recommend it. "
8016449,45047543,2015-08-30,42783051,Sara,"These hosts were absolutely wonderful having it been our first time using this site. Kylie was so accommodating to our crazy schedule that we felt right at home. Great atmosphere - the apartment was so clean and well-kept. We slept like babies! Their generosity was out the roof, providing us with toiletries, the option of food, etc. we really had a great first experience and will definitely seek her out again if we ever return to ATX! "
8016449,45205105,2015-08-31,42504985,Sara,"Kylie was an amazing host! She had cute notes and candies for us when we arrived and eco friendly toiletries for our use. She was very welcoming and hospitable. She has the sweetest dog,Effy. She is about a 10 minute drive from Downtown. Her home is very clean and trendy. Exactly as pictured! Will definitely be returning for any future Austin visits! "

3904915,22504760,2014-11-08,1424216,Patrick,"Very nice welcome by Sunyong. Everything was in order and a delicious basket of fruit for us. She even contacted us in advance to ask what she could get for us. The place is unusual in that it wasn't originally made to live in, but anything you need is there and the layout is good. 
Super clean and tidy and the only malfunction was the furnace which was quickly dealt with to our satisfaction.
The property itself is fairly large with a good size yard. Roosters, hens, and squirrels always around. There are walnut trees. Sunyong picked and left a basket for us. 
If you want a fire outside at night they will gladly set it up, doing almost everything except lighting it for you.
Don't be put off by the location on the map or online comments about the quality of neighbourhood. It's a quiet comfortable area with beautiful gardens around. And walking around is no issue. Drive to downtown in 5 minutes. 
Sunyong even has another property by a river she let visit for a picnic which turned out to be a beautiful day. She is also helpful with whatever information you need about the area.  
Overall a great experience staying there."
3904915,24797990,2015-01-02,1233754,David,Sunyong's guest house was a wonderful little retreat for me and my family while we were in Austin. The elongated design of the space was very unique & the architectural detailing (inside & out) was truly well crafted. Sunyong was very sweet & a lovely host. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit to Austin. 
3904915,25521076,2015-01-18,13905466,Jordan,"Great stay, very unique stay and experience. The property is well built and almost completely custom, heavy far east influences throughout. Very cool ""pit"" shower. The pictures don't show how big the space is, very secluded and feels like your separated from Austin.

Awesome communication and plenty of goodies led to no less than perfect accommodations.

Thank you Sunyong! !"
3904915,25766054,2015-01-25,1119999,Maeyen,What an amazing beautiful location and very unique!  Quiet and artistic.  I loved it.  Host went out of her way to contact me ahead of time to provide information and items of comfort.  She worked very considerately with my strange arrival and departure schedule.  Just lovely all around.  Would definitely return.
3904915,26551084,2015-02-15,15802901,Jen,"Sunyong was warm and welcoming from the very start of booking. She arranged fresh fruit and breakfast items for our arrival, she shared her knowledge of local haunts and tourist by-passes, she recommended off-the-beaten-path places to see art and eat delicious meals. We were privileged to get to walk among the beautiful art that she and her husband create. 
The guest house was very clean and comfortable. We were able to close off the bedroom area for privacy at night, and open up all the space during the day. The neighborhood was very quiet and artsy.
We highly recommend this accommodation and hope to return soon!"
3904915,27271203,2015-03-01,6097121,Patrick,"My first time at this home and it was beautiful.  Felt very welcomed, loved the treats and a little comfort food, loved the beauty of the place, and loved the quiet.  I felt rested and inspired when I left. I will be back.  Thank you both.

Patrick"
3904915,27677561,2015-03-09,2932488,Suzanne,"Sunyong went above and beyond in communicating with me before my trip.  Her instructions were clear and concise, easy to follow.  I arrived much later than planned because of flight delays.  She had placed fresh flowers, a bowl of fruit and food in the frig.
The home itself is uniquely appealing with its beautiful handcrafted furniture, comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and ample outdoor space for roaming.  I felt a tremendous sense of peace here, and my host was absolutely wonderful.  This is an artists paradise, easily accessible to everything Austin, yet secluded, quiet and peaceful

Sunyong and Phillipe were so gracious, the house is very clean and private, and they shared the entire grounds with us. We were able to relax in the yard and the porch and still only 5 minutes to the heart of downtown! The house is beautiful with so many interesting details, comfortable beds, full kitchen, amazing shower, and plenty of clean towels. 
Sunyong had great recommendations for food, and sightseeing and gave great directions too :)
Highly recommended accommodations. "
3904915,28974310,2015-04-01,11260253,Sunny,"We stayed at Sunyong's guest house for our wedding anniversary getaway.  
We arrived 4 hours earlier than we estimated but she accommodated us tight away and made us feel comfortable. Sunyong prepared a LOT of fruit and snacks which was a welcome surprise (more than we could eat!!!). Sunyong responded really fast and gave us lots of useful information about Austin! 
Sculptor guest house was one of the most unique place we've been ever stay before. It is only about 5 minutes away from downtown Austin, and thus a very convenient location! 
We had an amazing time there and we will definitely recommend this peaceful oasis to our friends who will travel to Austin in the future! Thanks for everything Sunyong!!
 "
3904915,29183047,2015-04-05,28237862,Michael,"This place is great. Definitely will try to stay here again on our next trip to Austin. Sunyong was super nice. There was some food/drink in the fridge and some delicious mangoes and other fruit in a bowl. 

The yard is awesome too, with a few large sculptures and chickens walking around. Roosters too, so keep that in mind in the morning...

Great stay."
3904915,30308704,2015-04-20,14989330,Andrea,"What a wonderful time we had at the Sculptors Studio. Everything was perfect for my husband and I, along with another couple. Sunyong provided us with all the comforts of home...and more. Both Sunyong and her husband Phillipe are passionate artists and shared their enthusiasm with us. I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to live in their beautiful world for even a few days. The guest house was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and furnished in the highest standard. Having a washer and dryer was an extra bonus on a long road trip. Thank you so much to Sunyong and Phillipe. You made our trip to Austin very special."
3904915,30688360,2015-04-26,7487855,Robin,"This is such a lovely, peaceful place!! 
Walked to the Farmer's market. Enjoyed watching the chickens walking around. There couldn't have been a nicer place, kinder host, graciously leaving all sorts of food for me to enjoy. Will be back for sure!!"
3904915,31209487,2015-05-03,30479319,Rebekah,"We had such a great time during our stay in Austin. Not only is Sunyong's guest home located perfectly near everything you need,  but she takes such great care of you with fresh fruit and a stocked kitchen. Words can't explain how thoughtful and detail oriented she is. 
The guest house its self is something truly to experience.  She even provided us with great places to go, such as a local farm just steps away called BoggyCreek farm, were we purchased fresh meats, vegetables and eggs. We made great use of her cute kitchen;) 
She also suggested Barton Springs to enjoy the spring warmth, community and natural springs of Austin.

Do yourself a favor and take the time to meet Sunyong. Her and her husband have created such amazing  art work together and what a treat it was to of been able to chat with her as she graciously showed us around their studio and property.

Thank you Sunyong for everything. We look forward to visiting with you soon!"
3904915,31890681,2015-05-11,247816,Susan,"We loved our stay.  Sunyong is very inviting and friendly.  The neighborhood is fine, no complaints.  The house is not in walking distance to many things but a very quick drive or bike ride to the east side.  "
3904915,32533612,2015-05-19,10952145,Sean,"My parents and I could not have imagined a better introduction to Austin than staying at Sunyong and Phillipe's place!  The house and grounds were beautiful, and Sunyong's warm welcome and conversation made us feel instantly welcome.  It was great to see their artwork and get to know our hosts over the course of the stay.  The little touches really made all the difference - food that was there for us when we arrived, a newspaper in the morning.  They really went out of their way for us.  There are some good places to run nearby, and all the highlights of the city seemed to be quite close.   "
3904915,32890966,2015-05-23,17110513,Tracy,"We've had another amazing Airbnb stay! Sunyong's guest house is unique, beautiful, clean and comfortable, located in a section of Austin that hearkens back to the groovy city we left behind 26 years ago. Sunyong spared no effort making us at home. When we arrived there was an amazing variety of fresh fruit, vegetables and other groceries waiting in the kitchen. The kitchen is great for preparing meals and has everything you'd need. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is well supplied with fluffy towels and soap. The house is nestled in a spacious, green and private artists' compound, uniquely embellished with innumerable artistic touches. We loved sitting on the porch, drinking our morning coffee and welcoming visits from Bella the dog and the friendly chickens that prowl the compound. Sunyong was exceedingly thoughtful and responsive, even bringing  my husband a bottle of wine when she learned that it was his birthday. We loved getting to know this special corner of Austin and would be glad to make a return visit."
3904915,37847952,2015-07-11,5004794,David,"First of all, Sunyong was awesome. She stocked our fridge full of goodies and surprised us with veggies from the garden and food throughout our month-long stay. She even hosted us for a delicious dinner one night! We came for a vacation but left with new friends. :)

The house is really cool and is in a fun part of town. It has a lot of character and charm. But our favorite part was becoming friendly with the chickens. We enjoyed feeding them from the front porch each morning. Say hi to them for us...

All in all, we had a great time and Sunyong was a truly outstanding host. I definitely recommend the experience to anyone visiting Austin."
3904915,50277400,2015-10-11,21553807,Chelsea,"This house is lovely. Sunyong had very nice amenities for us, including food in the fridge. We felt like very welcomed guests!"
3904915,51465167,2015-10-20,3176726,Rebecca,"Stayed here for a long weekend and it was perfect! Amazingly peaceful and rural feeling but still close to everything. Singing was an incredibly gracious host, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Would certainly stay here again!"
3904915,52804923,2015-11-01,256446,Sally,"Sunyong was so welcoming. She was in communication with us and left us fresh fruits and veggies, per my request. She also left a juicer for us to use which we used.....four times. The space was lovely, unique, interesting and in a great part of Austin...East Austin! We can't wait to go again.

219202,552381,2011-09-20,1152883,Nathan,"My friend Paul and I stayed here for ACL 2011 and this place was nothing short of incredible. This little bungalow is tastefully decorated, quite, affordable, with all new appliances and impeccably cleaned. We had a fantastic time staying here as it was convenient to get to ACL and the downtown scene. Edie and Alberto also provided their bikes for the weekend as part of the deal with an additional deposit - this was huge in terms of not having to negotiate traffic and parking for ACL. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you are a clean, classy festival goer looking for a place with a little taste of old Austin. The bike ride after dark along the river in not for the faint of heart. However... it is by far the most convenient way to get around during ACL. "
219202,701130,2011-11-07,227437,Andrea,Edie was a very welcoming. My friends and I had a very pleasant stay. She did an excellent hosting job. The  bungalow was absolutely adorable! I would highly recommend this place. 
219202,718689,2011-11-14,415668,Chad,"I rented Edie's Bungalow for my parents while they were in town. They are from a small country town so when I told them where they would be staying they seemed a little apprehensive. That changed the moment we arrived and were met with Edie's amazing, welcoming smile.  Her home and the bungalow in her back yard were beautifully restored and very comfortable. Everything was clean and well thought out. My parents loved the entire experience and have sworn off hotel stays from now on.  They said over and over how they would like to stay with Edie again next time they're in Austin. This was a perfect experience! Thanks Edie ! "
219202,827426,2012-01-02,161489,Emery,"This was our first trip to Austin and had high expectations for the city itself, but we were blown away by Edie's place. Clean, comfortable and filled with everything we needed. The location was ideal and although brief, being her company was most enjoyable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend the bungalow for your next visit too!
"
219202,859206,2012-01-12,1563518,Mandy,"Edie and Alberto were gracious enough to let me stay in their bungalow with very short notice, after my plans unexpectedly changed. After a hectic day, I was immediately relieved seeing their bungalow. Not only is it in a really great location (near all the 6th Street East Austin fun), but the bungalow itself is gorgeous, and incredibly cozy. It had everything that one would need, and I especially loved the considerations for the environment (recycling and a water heater/conserver). The very best part of my stay, however, was meeting Edie and Alberto. I was in Austin for just a brief time, and they had so much great advice, and are really interesting, warm people. I would very much look forward to staying with them again if my husband and I needed a place when we're back in Austin. I highly recommend them and their little bungalow."
219202,884178,2012-01-26,1316383,Brant,"My fiancee and I couldn't have been happier staying in Edie's bungalow. It was clean, comfortable and centrally located. Edie was an extremely gracious host. She let us use her bikes to ride around the city and she even left the Sunday paper outside our door. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks Edie!"
219202,890934,2012-01-30,630192,Prentiss,"Edie's bungalow is beautiful, calm and convenient for downtown or eastside fun. We are local Austinites who used it as a base of operations during our wedding and it was the perfect in-town getaway. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice."
219202,914628,2012-02-11,1392474,Bill,"If travel takes you to Austin and you need an excellent place to stay look no further than Bungalow.   It is centrally located in Austin (easy walk or bike ride (bikes provided) to downtown, The Convention Center, and 6th St.  

The bungalow is private, quiet, beautifully decorated, and the hosts couldn't be nicer.   In fact the bungalow looks just like it does in the pics.  What a treat to ""come home"" to the bungalow.   Sure beats staying in a hotel!"
219202,949042,2012-02-26,377071,JoLynn,"Austin is one of the best cities in the country and Edie's bungalow is thee best place to stay in Austin! The bungalow is beautiful, clean, and extremely comfortable with everything one would ever need. Everything seems newly built and has been decorated with care. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and there is plenty of parking just out front on the street. One of Austin's best taco places is just around the corner and plenty of other great bars/restaurants within walking distance. Best rental I've seen! Highly recommended! "
219202,1001400,2012-03-15,992875,Lauren,"We enjoyed our stay with Edie immensely. She is an incredibly accommodating and welcoming host, and the bungalow is absolutely delightful and chock full of fantastic amenities. The washer/dryer came in extra handy (after the awful rain we had during the first few days of SXSW), as did the great bikes we were able to rent from her for the following sunnier days. Thank you for everything, Edie! Looking forward to our next visit."
219202,1022329,2012-03-20,1277872,Mireia,"Me and my friends stayed at Edie and Alberto's bungalow and the experience couldn't have been any better. They welcomed us with lots of information about Austin and SXSW, gave us drinks, we chatted with them and their friends... it felt like we were staying in our friend's house.
The house and the bungalow we stayed is lovely, we were so lucky to be able to stay in such a nice place.
And on top of that they let us to use their bikes which was a great way to go around the city.
I'm really glad we got to stay there and if I visit Austin again I'd be very happy to stay with them again.
Thanks a lot again!"
219202,1074487,2012-04-02,1939463,Jamie,"My stay in Austin at Edie's lovely bungalow far exceeded my expectations.  The space itself is beautiful and comfortable--it is essentially a furnished apartment with all the amenities one could ask for--Edie has decorated it to have a truly homey feel and even went so far as to stock the bungalow with all of the essentials (toiletries, kitchen supplies, laundry supplies).  The neighborhood is diverse and lively and a nice change of pace from other areas of Austin--I would have never had anywhere as good of an experience staying downtown at a generic hotel.  I used one of Edie's bikes and went for a long ride along the Lady Bird Trail, which can be accessed just a few blocks from the bungalow.  Edie was an incredible host--accommodating and as welcoming as you can imagine.  She went out of her way to see that I enjoyed my stay.  As I told her when I was leaving, if I ever return to Austin I would not hesitate to stay there again!"
219202,1105494,2012-04-10,2029966,Caitlin,"Edie's house was a great find that really felt like home during our recent visit to Austin. The house was clean, quiet, comfortable, beautiful, and full of lovely little touches that really made it a wonderful stay. I would absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend Edie's house to anyone visiting Austin - you will not be disappointed!"
219202,1116021,2012-04-12,1857438,Greg,"What a wonderful little place to stay. The place was beautiful and well-appointed with everything I needed to have a wonderful stay. Thanks, Edie!"
219202,1128622,2012-04-14,2011095,Katrina,Edie was a great host. The unit's kitchen had everything we needed. Edie's place had a green friendly set up and numerous interesting private spaces. The location is priceless. East Side Rules. 
219202,1139235,2012-04-16,2063774,Charity,Had an excellent experience here.  The bungalow was very clean and spacious and Edie was very warm and inviting and offered several great ideas of things to do during our visit.  Would definitely stay again!
219202,1187158,2012-04-27,709044,Rick,"I can't recommend staying at Edie's enough!  We were in town during late April for a conference and stayed the entire week at the bungalow.  It's beautiful, secluded, quiet, perfectly designed, thoroughly equipped, and right near everything.  We used the bikes every day to go all over east Austin, south Austin, and downtown, and up and down 6th Street.  We cooked in the great kitchen, hung around in the private back area, and the outdoor lounge up top overlooking the neighborhood.  Edie went above and beyond the call of duty and we had an awesome visit to Austin.  Will definitely try to stay here first when we come back."
219202,1208476,2012-05-01,1884947,Allie,"Edie's house was absolutely wonderful. The house is in the perfect location and has everything we could have asked for.  The fact that the place came with bikes was the best part, Edie gave us directions and suggestions for things to do.  The next time I come to Austin I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else."
219202,1237882,2012-05-07,1735183,Raele,"Whew, I hate to say too much, because I plan on staying here A LOT, and I don't want it to get too booked up! But, considering how lovely and wonderful Edie is, I am going to resist the selfish urge to keep her bungalow all to myself. 
If you are looking for perfection, meaning, a place that is absolutely comfortable and spotless, with every amenity and traveler's provision you could ask for, in an awesome location that is walking distance to the world's best food trailers (Veracruz tacos on 6th - amazing!! also Firefly Pies and for dessert, CoolHaus custom ice cream sandwiches) and Town Lake and great bars,  then this is the place to stay.
Fully and thoughtfully equipped kitchen, with things like a razor sharp serrated bread knife for the yummy loaf I got to go with the Antonelli's cheese shop picnic (a couple miles away on Duval St.), that we enjoyed on the bungalow's quiet side patio.
But we could have picked the rooftop terrace she's built, instead!
There is a Washer/Dryer. And bikes free to use. Good conversation to be had with Edie and Alberto, if you like. A profusion of wild sunflowers in the alley behind, that you can pick and bring home for a souvenir.
Really, we just liked everything. :)
And we already live here in Austin, in a comfortable home. So, choosing her place over our own for a staycation is saying something. Just the perfect getaway!
Thank you, Edie!!!"
219202,1314115,2012-05-21,1281380,Kelly,"Edie and Alberto's bungalow was a real treasure.  My husband and I enjoyed the bikes, loved how cute and clean the space was, and really loved the location so close to all of our favorite east side haunts.  We will be back for sure! "
219202,1361209,2012-05-28,1872965,Susan,"This place is fantastic and flawless. There is everything you need, it is quiet and close to the action. I was at a conference and it only took me five minutes to get downtown on one of the bikes provided. Alberto was a perfect host in Edie's absence, pointing us in the direction for food and entertainment. They were very flexible with checking in and checking out and a delight to be around. "
219202,1480669,2012-06-14,2424432,Annie,Edie was an amazing host.  She made herself available by phone for anything we may have needed and picked us up at the airport. Her guest house is comfortable and aesthetically  pleasing.  If it wasn't for wanting to see Austin I could have hung out there all day.  Added bonus was the use of her bicycles. Lots of great places are conveniently located.
219202,1631312,2012-07-04,359981,Martin,"Couldn't imagine a better experience in Austin.
The bungalow is lovely, the garden is beautiful, the neighborhood has a great vibe.
Edie and Alberto were wonderful hosts, and fun to talk to. Looking forward to come back! 
"
219202,1832295,2012-07-29,3005487,Yvonne,"This bungalow would make the cover of Architectural Digest. Pristine. Elegant. Beautiful. The finest, coolest, cleanest--there aren't enough positive superlatives to describe this sanctuary. Perfectly located in the locals' favorite part of Austin. The bikes make the town accessible in all its splendor. The AC is top notch, the furniture cozy, and the garden is a paradise.

Edie is a wonderful host--love personified. Anything you could possibly need is right there for you. Her home is a traveler's dream.

And stay here if you want to have the greatest time in Austin that is densely rich in experience and joy.
"
219202,1974622,2012-08-13,3120640,Marien,"I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Three girlfriends and I stayed in the bungalow for a 'reunion' weekend and it was truly a wonderful experience. Everything was so clean and cozy. My friends had never been to Austin, but we found ourselves not leaving the bungalow until late in the morning because we were so comfortable relaxing inside or enjoying the garden.  It's conveniently seconds away to all the restaurants and nightlife on the east side, yet the bungalow has such a calm and serene feel to it that you feel like your miles away in the middle of nature. Quite the perfect Austin balance! The four bikes that they provide were absolutely perfect! They were our transportation for most of the stay, and the locks and lights that come with make it easy to ride around at night and not worry about parking or traffic. Edie also made sure the tires had air and the bikes were all lined up and ready to go when we went to use them. Edie and Albert were wonderful hosts showing me where everything was and offering great tips for getting around the downtown area. In addition, Edie allowed me to come a day early to stock the refrigerator to surprise my girlfriends. Once there, she offered me the bungalow for that night with no charge. I have no words to explain how thankful we all are. Two of my friends flights were delayed until midnight so if it wasn't for Edie's generosity, we would have found ourselves driving until one in the morning to head up north for one night. Staying here was absolutely wonderful, and I can't recommend it enough.      "
219202,2046141,2012-08-20,3190582,Jeremy,"Incredible experience. Beautiful spacious bungalow, Great location, and Edie was very accommodating. Couldn't recommend it enough."
219202,2203691,2012-09-04,3433983,Karl,"My wife and I made a last minute booking due to our plans in New Orleans being cancelled by the hurricane.  Edie was very prompt in getting back to us, and the attention to every detail she paid within the bungalow was magnificent.  I was expecting a person's unused income suite.  What we got was a beautiful, clean space with every need available, right down to extra toiletries if you forgot yours.  She made sure we had everything we needed, and checked up on us during the stay to make sure we weren't needing anything.  It was incredible.  And the location is perfect - down the street from some incredible food and drink options (including Juan in a Million, for you Man Vs Food fans).  Best stay we've had in Austin.  We will be coming back."
219202,2250697,2012-09-10,1281380,Kelly,"Edie and Alberto's place is wonderful.  We are repeat customers, and will certainly make the bungalow our first choice on all of our return trips to Austin."
219202,2338279,2012-09-18,1726565,Steven,Edie's bungalow was very nice! We felt right at home and even joked that we slept better there then our apartment at home. We definitely stay again when we come back to Austin! Everything was exactly as expected if not better. 
219202,2377266,2012-09-22,3605951,Stacy,"Edie's bungalow was perfect! It felt like a little urban oasis. Just a mile walk from convention center (Edie can lend you a bike and she even picked me up on my way there from downtown!) with a cute coffee shop on the walk. The bungalow had a kitchen, bath and open living/sleeping area plus futon. It felt so relaxing and clean there. It was like staying with a friend. Plus Edie is super cool and so nice (as my friend say, she's got good vibes). I plan on booking with her next year for my annual convention in Austin. Thanks, Edie!"
219202,2523201,2012-10-06,2539407,Jason,"Edie was a fantastic host.  Her place is beautiful and extremely comfortable, and she went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable."
219202,2557501,2012-10-09,3207307,Annie,"Edie was the perfect host during our stay in Austin. So perfect, in fact, that she even picked us up from the airport! My three friends and I stayed in her little studio bungalow for three nights and couldn't have been happier. Everything was clean, stocked and well-decorated. There's lots of closet space and the kitchen would've been nice to cook in if we had been able to find the time. There are bikes available to use for free and we took them out a couple of times to explore. The area is great since you're close to the river, downtown and tasty food/drinks. Thanks again, Edie!"
219202,2627426,2012-10-16,2244862,Libby,"My friend and I stayed here for ACL weekend and we had a great experience! Edie and Alberto were awesome! The only bummer is that we didn't get to hang out with them more. The bungalow was super cute, clean and convenient with everything you would need. Definitely take advantage of the bikes because Austin is very bike friendly and the bungalow was close enough to everything we wanted to do. The east side 6th street bars are a 3 minute ride north!  Would definitely stay here again and can't wait to get back! 
"
219202,2746126,2012-10-29,2242721,Bill,Great place! Loved the location and the relaxed vibe. Edie is a great host - super friendly with great recommendations. The bikes were a huge bonus. Easy parking too if you rent a car. 
219202,2805593,2012-11-05,2665884,Katie,"We loved this updated bungalow! The setting was very nice, with a lot of mature trees around, and it felt very private there. Edie and Alberto were great folks, who even went out of their way to pick us up at the airport. The neighborhood is full of houses built in the 1920s which are being remodeled and restored.  The bungalow has a very modern fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom, as one can see by the photos, and Alberto's workmanship was beautiful!  He even made a painting for the main room that we liked very much. It feels quite open and roomy. There are skylights and even a private little patio. We were so  comfortable there, we couldn't wait to get ""home"" at the end of a long conference day. 

Edie gave us great advice about where to eat (the Vera Cruz taco stand a block away was our favorite - YUM - we ate there every day!) and other places to go. The bungalow is very close to the bus line, so we went to ""So-Co"" - South Congress Street, which has many vintage shops and food trucks gathered together on a vacant lot - very fun. I would recommend this to anyone who would like a more homey place to stay than a room in one of the convention center hotels. We walked around a lot and got to know Austin. We already miss Edie, as she is a super person. I hope I have another occasion to go to Austin so I can see her again and stay at her cozy bungalow!"
219202,2862775,2012-11-12,3659768,Lizzie,"The bungalow was incredible, and Edie was the perfect host. Every detail was so tasteful and perfectly arranged, right down to the outstanding local coffee and Mexican cookies in the cabinet for our mornings. The visit went far too quickly -- we would've loved more time to talk with Edie and Alberto. Adored riding the bikes all over East Austin, too -- the best perk of our stay!"
219202,2925235,2012-11-20,109223,Jonathan,"My family and I stayed in Edie's beautiful bungalow for the Formula 1 race in Austin.  Her place is a home away from home!  We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone.  Just a few blocks from 6th Street bars, and walking distance to many great restaurants.  We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin!  Thanks Edie!"
219202,3264929,2013-01-04,1248879,Megan,"Edie was such a fantastic host, she was even kind enough to pick us up from the airport upon our arrival! Her bungalow is comfortable and well-decorated, in an ideal location for walking to downtown, and it was great to have access to the bikes while we were there. I would happily stay there next time we're in Austin!"
219202,3610030,2013-02-26,116669,Deborah,"The bungalow is exactly as advertised--clean, comfortable and well-stocked.  The bed is comfortable and the area is quiet.  DeeDee was very helpful and a great hostess.  The bikes (with lights and locks) are a huge bonus if you don't rent a car!  DeeDee provided a biking map for Austin, which helped us choose the safest routes around town and showed the bike trails available.  Riding around the lake trails was a great way to get to know Austin.  

The bungalow is close enough to walk into the main part of the city, but be aware that if you don't like to walk or bike, you will probably want a car."
219202,3699817,2013-03-05,1420604,Adam,"I had a fantastic stay at Edie's bungalow.  The space is beautifully decorated and the kitchen is fully equipped.  I particularly loved the garden setting and the access to the roof top of the casita for watching the sunset.  

East Austin is an offbeat and interesting place and exactly where i wanted to be.  It is an easy 10-15 minute walk to downtown, and there is a great coffee shop nearby/  The bungalow is quiet but still close to all the action of Downtown. 

I highly recommend Edie as a host too.  She picked me up from the airport and drove me around the neighborhood to recommend different restaurants. "
219202,3786765,2013-03-15,2909379,Rachel,"It's even cuter and more comfortable than it looks!  I was in town for SXSW and wanted a quiet place - and this was absolutely perfect!  It's close to all of the activities - and also very peaceful.  The bungalow was super clean, and the beds are nice and comfortable too!  The hosts are super friendly, very helpful, and have great recommendations on the local hangouts.  It's simply a great place to stay!"
219202,3810005,2013-03-17,1022172,Jesse,Awesome host and a great place to stay in Austin!
219202,3978051,2013-04-01,4548763,Coyote,"I don't deserve a place this nice.  :-P

The bungalow was clean, charmingly decorated, and conveniently located.  Having the warm breeze come in the windows and hearing the birds singing outside clinched an already magical Austin experience.  Edie was a more-than-gracious hostess...shoot, she even picked me up at the airport.  

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  "
219202,4100380,2013-04-09,4239182,Judith,"Edies house is beautiful and the garden even more so! The rooftop terrace is fantastic! I highly recommend this place. The neighbourhood is very nice as well, you can walk to lot's of hip hangouts and the Ladybird Lake. As I had  a bit of a situation at the plac where I was staying, Edie was kind enough to let me come to the bungalow one day earlier. Many thanks for that!"
219202,4172829,2013-04-15,5818054,Tom,An amazing stay with great hosts! Highly recommended
219202,4340192,2013-04-29,1472418,Andrea,"Delightful!  We we're only in town for three nights and had a fairly busy agenda.  The bungalow was both peaceful and comfortable and proved to be the perfect balance for riding around town; coming and going most of the day.  My only regret is not spending more time with Edie & Alberto.  They were very conscientious and charming hosts with good recommendations.  I would love to learn more about their community projects and chat about gardening with them.  Next year we'll be back and I hope to engage with them more.  In summary, this is great place for a couple.  The complimentary bikes, outdoor dining area, and roof-top terrace we're great perks too! "
219202,4425910,2013-05-04,6170725,Leigh,"What can I say other than this was perfect. Perfect host, fab location, cleanliness 11 out of 10, amazingly comfortable bed, well appointed kitchen and bathroom
Much more than anyone could expect and so so so much better than using hotels! 
Edie goes over and beyond with hospitalilty, even offering her coat when we had freak weather for the season. Alberto was so so helpful in finding us accomodation for after our stay with them....as I said...perfect!
"
219202,4455584,2013-05-06,5884179,Danielle,My husband and I had the best time ever staying at this truly awesome bungalow. Extremely well located in a very up and coming part of Austin and Edie could not have been a better host. I highly recommend staying here!!
219202,4600527,2013-05-14,3617968,Jedidiah,"Too awesome.  I just LOVED the bungalow. I was in town to Referee a Roller Derby bout at the Convention Center.  Hotels are for suckers -- the bungalow was amazingly comfortable, close to downtown -- but far enough away that I knew I was in Austin, TX and not Marriotland or Hiltonville.  Having bikes to borrow was awesome and I will definetly stay there again the next time I make the trip to Austin. 

I didn't get to meet Edie as she was out of town, but I did meet Alberto who was also a more than gracious host.  

Too awesome.  Seriously - don't get a stupid hotel.  Stay here."
219202,4765473,2013-05-24,6442765,Jana,"I only wish we could have stayed longer at this exceptionally clean, lovely and friendly bungalow! We would have loved to have talked more with our hosts Edie, who made everything so easy by email, and Alberto who welcomed us and showed us around their beautifully appointed and very comfortable little hideaway. It was a true delight to discover everything we needed to feel right at home: fluffy towels, comfy bed, coffee in the cupboard and cream in the fridge...and the place was beyond spotless. We felt welcomed and looked after but also perfectly able to come and go as we needed to and do as we pleased. Would love to have talked more about community gardens, good food, and hospitality with our interesting and interested hosts---next time! Thanks for a true home away from home. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone, especially family in Austin in the food and entertainment industries who want easy, fresh accommodation for friends and colleagues. Cheers! "
219202,4966676,2013-06-04,3127000,Joan,"A perfect bungalow - has everything you need for an Austin stay (washer/dryer, kitchen, toiletries, coffee, etc).  We LOVED the outside garden(s) and a chicken even came around one day to say ""Hi!""  The location is also handy to get to bars, food and even a running path downtown!  It was a wonderful experience and Edie made sure we were all set for a very comfortable vacation.  "
219202,5062660,2013-06-10,501376,Tara And Bob,"Edie could not have been more accommodating or endearing.  She opened her home to us and was a warm and attentive host.  The property is amazing.  It is certainly walking distance from food trucks, Cenote coffee shop (our breakfast most mornings), and several interesting eats locations.  Drive-wise, we were mere minutes from the huge city park, complete with stand up paddleboard, walking/jogging trails, etc.  We ate at Moonshine Cafe, which was phenomenal.  Rainey Street night life is nearby and really great for catching live music and cool vibes while you sip on something cold.  It was an incredible trip, but the most wonderful part was Edie!! We will definitely be back in Austin and I can't think of a place we would rather stay."
219202,7913952,2013-10-08,7131465,Brandon,"My brother in law and I stayed at the Quiet Bungalow for ACL this year and it was the perfect place to stay for our trip.  We absolutely loved the place.  It was clean, small, and quiet and it was close enough to Zilker Park and downtown that we never had to get in our truck to go anywhere.  We rode bikes, provided by Edie, to the festival and all over downtown.  It was a great way to see and explore Austin for the first time.
Edie was a fantastic hostess.  We had everything we needed in the bungalow, but she told us if we needed anything (including being picked up because of a flat or some other bike malfunction, to just call and she would be happy to help with whatever we needed.  She gave us recommendations for places to eat and places to go out after the shows were over.
We had a fantastic time at ACL and plan to return in the future.  And when we do return we will be staying here again (assuming someone else doesn't book it first)!  The price, the location, and the bungalow itself make this a place to stay in Austin that would be difficult, if not impossible, to surpass.  I highly recommend this place for your stay in Austin.   "
219202,8077875,2013-10-15,6721483,Justin,We had a wonderful time in Austin staying at the bungalow. It was the perfect home away from home for our vacation and so much nicer than staying in a hotel. There are a lot of great places to eat and get coffee in the neighborhood. Edie's list of coffee shops / restaurants was very helpful—be sure to check out Veracruz All Natural around the corner for breakfast tacos! We would love to stay here again on our next visit. Thank you!
219202,8220845,2013-10-21,8935074,Maggie,"Oh my gosh! This bungalow is the the kind of place you walk into and go ahhhh..... It is simply beautiful, not in a fussy way, in a warm , inviting way.
It is immaculate ! The only thing need to bring are your clothes! Edie has thought of the tiniest of details. The bed linens, were what you would have at home, nice squishy down pilows, yum, yum. 
I LOVE to cook !  With Austin to discover there was no need to, but, if I did cook at the bungalow, Edie's well stocked kitchen would have been perfect! She even had Henckel knifes! Really? Again no skimping on quality! 
Need I go on? Ok just for a bit! When I am back in Austin, this is the only place I will stay! There is no need to look at another!
Edie and Alberto were lovely!
We never end used our car once! Bring comfy walking shoes, because everything you need is only 3-4 blocks away! 
Thankyou Edie for a more than perfect place! 
I will say our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer! Maggie"
219202,8374211,2013-10-28,3117780,Ethan,Edie is a superb host. The bungalow was extremely home-y and it was always comforting to come home. Edie truly anticipates the needs of her guests by providing all the things you need and don't think to pack--like q-tips and aspirin.  We used her bikes to get around town the entire stay and they worked great. She even gave us a ride back to the airport!  All the while she was easy to be in touch with via text and it was great to catch up with her while going/coming . Edie is very sweet and I seriously hope to go back soon.
219202,8811399,2013-11-19,5681223,James,"This is a great place to stay - the bungalow is in a quiet residential street 15 minutes walk from Rainey St and 20 from downtown. Lots of great eating options nearby.

The bungalow itself is at the back of the owners house, very quiet and private. Inside, it is very well fitted out and extremely comfortable - there are some nice personal touches as well.

Edie and Alberto are great hosts - friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The whole experience was hassle free and a great introduction to me and my friend to Airbnb."
219202,8846946,2013-11-21,4239182,Judith,"This is the second time I have stayed at this lovely house in Austin. The house is private, clean, has all modern comforts and is decorated with pieces of of art. It's close to the lake and things going on in East Austin. Edie made a list for us where to go for dinner/drinks in walking distance of the house, as downtown is a bit further away.  Edie and her husband were waiting for us when we arrived and helped us park the big cargotrailer we travelled with in their driveway, so the equipment would be safe. At the time there was some construction going on at the house next door, but they didn't start very early so we weren't bothered by it. Definetely recommend this place and will come back next time I'm in Austin."
219202,9583760,2014-01-03,812091,Ed,Edie and Alberto were absolutely terrific hosts! We loved their sense of design which permeats the bungalow and the full property.  They even invited us to their friends' New Year's Eve Party! 
219202,10082307,2014-01-29,10136851,Danila,"6 stars, highly recommended! What a lovely place :) Photos don't do it justice. Spotlessly clean, super-comfortable, plenty of space, and everything you could possibly need. Well-outfitted kitchen, lots of goodies in the bathroom in case you forget anything. And bicycles!
Everything you could need is within walking or cycling distance, and we were so happy to have the bikes. Riding along the river is relaxing and fun, you don't even realize you're getting your daily exercise!
The bungalow's location is perfect to go out at night and check out all the amazing live music options in Austin, and comfortable and quiet to get back to.
Edie & Alberto are delightful, welcoming people, who really helped us settle in and feel at home in Austin.
The combination of welcoming, friendly hosts, and a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, made this possibly one of our favourite airbnb places so far!"
219202,10195732,2014-02-05,10932455,Eri,"I don't even know where to start, but we had such an amazing time at Edie & Alberto's amazing bungalow.  They were both very warm and sweet people, and you can feel that warmness dripping from the bungalow.  It is a very comfy place to stay, and they have thought of everything! I mean EVERYTHING! from Tums to dental floss to basket of fruits to sleepy time tea etc.  
They also have nice bikes which my fiance and I used everyday to get around town, and it worked out great! The location is also wonderful, with good places to eat and hang out in very close proximity. But also it was about 15 min bike ride to popping S. Congress area, and 10min to downtown areas.  
My fiance and I both became a big fan of the charming couple Edie & Alberto.  Because they were such a comfortable and down-to-earth people, they were there if you wanted to talk to them or ask them questions, but you can also have complete privacy if you wanted it (though that wasn't one of our concerns as we couldn't get enough of them).  
so when you're in Austin,  STAY HERE! You won't regret it. Since we didn't know the geography of Austin, we initially thought we should stay in downtown area, but SO GLAD we didn't.  East Austin is an up and coming area with lots of exciting new places popping up, but it also retains the old culture, which makes it an interesting and charming place.  
It was my first visit to Austin, and I really loved it. I think what made it a top notch experience for us was staying here- they have really carved out a paradise of a place, with their own hands.  
This will definitely be the place that we'll come back to when we visit Austin in the future.  
Thanks for everything, Edie & Alberto!!
"
219202,10380742,2014-02-17,10671922,Daniel,The place was great. I was more than pleased.
219202,10483763,2014-02-21,11899054,Elizabeth,"What a sweet space! Tucked back behind the main house, a quiet, peaceful, light and airy casita sits. Very comfortable with everything you could need. Two big closets, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, attractive furnishings with blue and green accents, recycling, handy bathroom toiletries, cool bikes to head to the river or tool around the east side. It was all that. Well thought out to the last detail. The wi-fi was slow, and a possible suggestion would be to add a booster, but that would be my ONLY suggestion!

Edie and Alberto were welcoming and accommodating hosts, and I could have hung out a lot longer listening to their stories! Thank you for a most pleasant stay, and I am recommending you and your listing to anyone headed to Austin!"
219202,10567231,2014-02-25,11121243,Maureen,"I wish I could give more than five stars.  This was my first time in Austin and my first Airbnb experience.  I had a beyond wonderful stay in this lovely bungalow.  The space is clean, quiet, and private.  Very convenient to get to downtown Austin, and located in what ended up being my favorite part of town, East Austin.  Tons of great bars and restaurants in the area. I will definitely stay here when I return to Austin in the future.  Edie and Alberto were wonderful hosts, and gave great recommendations for restaurants and things to see and do when I needed it.  They were very friendly, warm and welcoming.  I can't recommend this bungalow enough!  "
219202,10646192,2014-03-01,12303004,Marjorie,"The bungalow is adorable, tucked away behind the main house with lots of windows to let in the sun (visiting from the Midwest we'd been sorely missing it and though it rained a bit while we were here, the one full day of sun was cherished).  The layout was open and very well appointed with a full kitchen, plenty of storage and access to complimentary bicycles which we used to explore the hike and bike trail along Lady Bird Lake. The hair dryer and toiletries were much appreciated, especially if you choose to pack light. The neighborhood was quiet and it was an easy 40 minute walk to SoCo and about a 20 minute walk to downtown. It's a great way to explore a new city as you can set the pace and take the time to enjoy things you stumble upon. The best part of the neighborhood was its character - mom and pop with a complete lack of chain establishments. There are plenty of options in walking distance to eat, drink and generally be merry. We didn't take the time to sort out the Austin Transit system, but I don't think we missed much in our short time there. 

Our hosts Edie and Alberto were more than gracious and gave some great pointers on places to grab a bite or a drink and were wonderful to just chat with (they are quite interesting and talented individuals). It was the perfect mix of privacy and neighborliness, and we were quite comfortable.

Highlights: 
The bungalow and our hosts:
Edie and Alberto's thoughtfulness and courtesy (example: umbrellas for anticipated rainy days and taking us to the airport in the wee hours the morning we left).
Great, sound sleep and waking up to the birds chirping.
Being surrounded by loads of unique artwork (including Alberto's!) and the beautiful backyard garden oasis.
Organic Sumatran Dark Roast by Texas Coffee Traders in the cupboard. Simply amazing cup of coffee (hint: enjoy with a few of the wonderful cookies provided).
The character and warmth of the bungalow - I would live here if I could.
Austin:
Happening upon Snack Bar's (in SoCo) half-off pint night and enjoying the delicious avocado quinoa salad (that I now find myself craving). 
Bufalina's pizza, conveniently located mere minutes away from the bungalow (walking). Get there when the doors open.
Veracruz breakfast tacos, also just a few blocks away, walking. If you don't eat a breakfast taco while in Austin, your trip will be a bust.
All the fireplaces in the lower level of the Moonshine Grill.
Biking in the East End neighborhood and along the hike and bike trail (it's awesome).
Jazz with the Ephraim Owens Experience at the Continental Club Gallery and the Concept Orchestra at The Elephant Room (along with great bartender Jeff).

Thanks to Edie and Alberto and the city of Austin - we had a wonderful trip and would love to return!"
219202,10799288,2014-03-08,7508430,Kevin,"What a wonderful, wonderful place, hosted by the warmest folks you could imagine. Loved EVERYTHING about it. The location, the fantastic artwork, all the amenities you could ever need. Kitchen was especially wonderful.

We couldn't recommend it more!"
219202,11043136,2014-03-18,7341384,Paula,"Everything about my visit exceeded my expectations. Edie and Alberto are delightful and I would love to have them for neighbors. They were genuinely interested that I have a great visit and I was touched by their kindness and generosity. The bungalow is clean, quiet and so comfortable. I was in town for SXSW with bands playing just a block or two away yet the bungalow seemed far removed from the noise and crowds. The neighborhood residents and business owners are very friendly - I loved the neighborhood and was comfortable walking alone at night. There's so much good food nearby and the farmer's market was great. When I wasn't walking I used the bus system and found it inexpensive and it was very easy to navigate the routes & schedules. I honestly loved everything about my stay here and I am already planning to return with my husband. Thank you, Edie & Alberto, for all you did to make my visit a wonderful experience! I'm looking forward to my next visit.
"
219202,11696731,2014-04-12,13477643,Stephanie,"What a wonderful place and visit! Edie and Alberto's place is beyond charming, full of character and thoughtful touches. My personal favorite was the complimentary bottles of Topo Chico mineral water, a treat I haven't had since leaving Chicago. 

Their bungalow was very clean, spacious, safe, and fully accommodating. A very quick walk to a lot of wonderful and unique places (curated by the great guide Edie and Alberto leave in your room) and not too far by bike, bus, or foot from downtown. 

Best of all Edie and Alberto are extremely welcoming and friendly. I was here for only a short time and pretty busy during it, but the chances I got to speak with both of them were quite enjoyable. They are also beyond helpful with transportation and general information. 

Five stars across the board!"
219202,11741400,2014-04-14,6514030,Zak,"What a wonderful place to stay!  If you're looking for hosts and a place to stay that represent Austin well, stay with Edie and Alberto. The hosts were very accommodating and genuinely friendly, and were very easy to work with.  The place itself is beautiful and comfortable, and is VERY well-located.  It is stocked with everything you need, from band aids, shampoo, maps, and other essentials in case you don't have your own.  The part of Austin the house is in is lovely, and a lot of fun.  Stay with Edie and Alberto!"
219202,12272872,2014-04-28,12023410,Sasha,"I cannot say enough about Edie & Alberto. Their home is located in the most perfect area of Austin. There is plenty to explore on foot and within walking distance; however, they provide complimentary bikes which allowed us the opportunity to discover everything that downtown Austin had to offer which was a HUGE plus. The bungalow itself is extremely clean and incredibly comfortable. Edie provides bottled water, coffee, cream, snacks, oatmeal, toiletries, an ironing board, plenty of fresh towels and much much more. We were amazed how comfortable we were. She really thinks of everything you may need. Edie and Alberto also took the time to share their thoughts on restaurants, bars and other areas to explore. To top it all off SHE DROVE US TO THE AIRPORT. I want to move in with Edie & Alberto but alas I cannot - but I will be back. THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO STAY IN AUSTIN. thank you so much Edie & Alberto!!!!"
219202,12534606,2014-05-05,1603437,Janelle,"Edie's bungalow was the perfect home away from home with all the perks of a hotel. Super clean and spacious with lots of charm, character and light. The location is tops, a short bike ride to the river, downtown and there are lots of eating options nearby. We really enjoyed our stay and can't wait to get back to Austin to explore more. 

What I loved most...the bikes, the Mexican restaurant on the corner (breakfast tacos), the supply of maps came in very handy and of course Edie! "
219202,12743566,2014-05-10,12105611,Anuschka,"This was our second place in Austin, and is was wonderful! The studio (very clean), Edie and Alberto, the location, everything was so nice. We loved to bike around the city or to go to one of the pools! We would love to come back soon! Really..."
219202,13088012,2014-05-19,14342461,Teresa,"Edie was an amazing host! The bungalow was very clean and spacious, there were all of the essentials you could need. Edie suggested many different places to explore and we utilized the bikes provided for a long day of adventure! The location is perfect because everything is literally minutes walking or biking distance. I definitely plan to stay here again in the near future!"
219202,13350995,2014-05-26,13703326,Tom,Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Edie and Alberto. They are great hosts and the bungalow is beautiful. We didn't have a car and found the location to be perfect. A lot of great things to do within walking distance. I look forward to staying with Edie and Alberto next time I'm in Austin.
219202,13670862,2014-06-02,5639757,Lisa,"I had a very nice visit. The bungalow is beautiful, quiet, and very comfortable. I walked easily to downtown and other areas of the city. Edie went above and beyond. She had recommendations, stocked the bungalow with everything I needed, offered a bicycle, and even picked me up and drove me to the airport. She is quite generous and the house and grounds are wonderful."
219202,13949063,2014-06-09,2968642,Vanessa,"Edie and Alberto are wonderful hosts! The bungalow is very clean and comfortable with bottled water, coffee, toiletries, an ironing board, and plenty of towels. Edie suggested many different places to explore and we riding the bikes provided to ride all over Austin. We had such a great time!"
219202,15696979,2014-07-14,16708957,Frances,"Edie and Alberto are simply fabulous human beings, and their little backyard bungalow was the perfect place to stay in Austin.  Edie picked us up from the airport (offered to do it, and was there upon arrival, despite the hellish traffic caused by Obama's visit), and on our drive to the house she listed a number of great options for food and entertainment.  The bungalow itself was darling and matched the pictures and descriptions to a T.  You couldn't help but feel comfortable in the environment Edie and Alberto have created, with a tasteful and adorable decor, comfy furniture, all the necessities, and utterly gracious hosts.  My friend and I even loved the outdoor patio area that borders the entrance to the bungalow, and we staged several pictures against the brightly colored exterior walls there.  In short, the place was so incredible, I would never stay anywhere else in this fun, fun town."
219202,17547603,2014-08-13,6488992,Stephanie,"We had a great time, the bungalow was beautiful, clean and close to everything we wanted to explore. Edie and Alberto are so sweet and accommodating, thank you so much to them and we will certainly be back, hopefully next month!!"
219202,18971673,2014-09-03,20635475,Ngoc,Edie and Alberto are great hosts! They made sure we were comfortable and gave a lists of suggestions in the area.
219202,19232129,2014-09-08,20560350,Ronni,"Edie and Alberto are just fantastic - totally respected our busy schedule, even offered us a ride to the airport (we were leaving at 5:30! AM) - wonderfully clean, even had amenities like waters and little cookies!  Almost wish we'd had more time just to hang out in the space!  Great area, super close to some fun places.  I'm a hotel snob and this was an affordable and great alternative - we were going to book a similarly priced 'Comfort Inn' way further outside the city - very glad we did not.  After 12 hours of filming in the 101 degree heat, crashing in the well chilled 'Chalet' as we called it was a blessing!  Thanks guys!"
219202,19499441,2014-09-13,5952150,Jeremy,I very much enjoyed my stay with Edie and Alberto.  The bungalow is a quiet home separate from the main home and is fully stocked for all travel needs.  I chose this location because of the proximity to the train stop (had to head north each day for work) but found myself on the provided bike riding around in the evening sampling food trucks and wine bars.  A couple of nights were spent at Barton Springs cooling off after a hot Austin day.  Edie and Alberto are natural hosts and have a stockpile of karma from all they give back to their community.  Will definitely stay again when travel brings me back to Austin!
219202,19697158,2014-09-16,7597514,Laura-Ann,"This is a truly beautiful accommodation. The bungalow is beautifully decorated--to be sure, it is even more lovely than the photos can capture. The owners stock the bungalow with a whole host of amenities that one might need (e.g., shampoo, scented soaps, etc. in the bathroom; teas, coffee and a variety of snacks in the kitchen, all so very caring of them and complete). The bungalow is nestled within a gorgeous, lush garden, with wondering cacti, massive vines and a small gurgling fountain, and the private garden for guests off the bungalow's side door is a serene dream. The overall feeling imparted for the guest is welcoming and utterly enchanting. Even more than all of this, the owners are wonderful, kind and attentive, and truly fascinating people. I only wish I had more time in Austin to talk with them more!"
219202,20041233,2014-09-22,15166851,Vishnu,"Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Edie was extremely accommodating and made us feel welcome in their home. The home was exactly as described in the listing, and was very comfortable for myself and my teammates who stayed. Edie even responded to us at 10:30pm when the smoke detector was going off because the battery backup was low to provide us a new battery. Edie even asked if I needed to be picked up or dropped off at the airport, which you'll be hard pressed to find in any other host.

Edie suggested several places around the area that were her favorites, and also provided bikes that we could use to travel around town. We didn't make use of the bikes due to the other activities we already had planned, but they are available for use. The place is close enough to downtown 6th street to walk (about 1.5 miles), but depending on the time of year you may not want to as the weather may not be conducive to do so. 

Overall, this was a great stay and I would recommend anyone to stay here, and would stay here again myself. "
219202,20168537,2014-09-24,21462608,Rachael,"This little bungalow was twice as precious as we imagined. It had such a down to earth Austin hometown feel and Edie and her boyfriend made us feel right at home. It was immaculately clean, the house was stocked with everything we needed, there was a list of their preferred restaurants (which was very helpful for us since we were from out of town) and they were there whenever we had any questions or were in need of local suggestions. My sister and I could not have hoped for more. We plan on being regulars!"
219202,20265684,2014-09-26,4100648,Mina,Edie and Alberto's place was perfect. We loved staying there and meeting them. I especially loved the creative care they have taken of the property and all the amazing plants outside the bungalow. I can't imagine being hosted by nicer people than Edie and Alberto. Their energy was so peaceful and kind. Location was also perfect for exploring the realist and most vibrant indie folk-rock night culture that Austin has to offer.
219202,20439923,2014-09-29,6097121,Patrick,"Wow, what a place. Just walking into the bungalow was like walking into sanctuary in the city. Quiet, clean, spacious. It felt so good to be in the space it was hard to leave. But leave I did and I used one of their bikes and rode to breakfast, the coffee shop, dinner and out for ice cream. And then back to a quiet, peaceful night. And great help from both Edie and Alberto about where to go.

And I had the best tacos of my life at the little food truck 1 block away! Yum!

Thank you both. I will be back.

Patrick"
219202,20818132,2014-10-06,18537400,Sarah,"Despite having just had a family bereavement Edie went the extra mile to ensure that we were properly welcomed to her lovely property. The accommodation was perfect for us, we were visiting family in Austin and it was great to be able to chat with our family and relax at the property. All our needs had been anticipated we even took advantage of the bikes which are available. A great property in a great location. "
219202,21277759,2014-10-14,7508285,Claire,"Edie's bungalow is delightful. It's even cuter in real life than it looked in the pictures, and the grounds behind the house are filled with plants and very charming. Ample closet space allows you to keep it tidy over a multi-night stay. The bathroom and kitchen were well-stocked with way more than I would normally expect to find. It's a mother-in-law bungalow behind their residence with its own private patio area. Edie and Alberto are very nice, friendly and accomodating. They definitely went above and beyond by picking us up from downtown and also allowing us to stay a little past check-out time on the day we left. The bikes that they have were great! They allowed us to easily explore all the hip little bars and restaurants in the neighborhood on 6th St (not the 'Dirty 6' where all the college kid bars are, but the stuff east of the freeway) as well as get to and from ACL each day. Definitely the perfect place for a couple or a pair of friends who want a conveniently-located quiet little spot in very cool, somewhat eclectic neighborhood, and who would enjoy the opportunity to connect with/socialize with their host, since the proximity is pretty close. We had a blast!"
219202,21661138,2014-10-21,7051888,Linda,Edie & Alberto are the sweetest! The bungalow rental was so cute clean and roomy. There was an open studio set up with room to sleep 4. We used the bicycles and rode all over town. Amazing place with great hosts!! 
219202,21942627,2014-10-27,19550504,Into,"Asunto oli todella viihtyisä ja rauhallinen. Kävelymatkan päässä keskustasta. Suosittelen!
"
219202,22122462,2014-10-30,22611637,Tomozumi,"Edie and Alberto were wonderful hosts. They promptly responded to all the questions that I had, and were very accommodating to my last-minute needs. They gave me many tips with respect to what I can do and where I should visit near and around Austin.

The bungalow is a fantastic quiet retreat within the walking distance of east side attractions. It is very clean, well air conditioned, and loaded with amenities. Street parking in front of the house was never an issue.

I had a wonderful stay at the bungalow, and am looking forward to staying there again next time I visit Austin."
219202,22199942,2014-11-01,22258330,Kaitlan,"Staying with Edie & Alberto was an absolute dream! They we're kind, accommodating, and had many great suggestions of places to go and things to see. The bungalow itself is so cozy and anything I could have needed was provided. It's clear that Edie & Alberto put a lot of thought into making their guests feel comfortable and welcome! I also loved all of the beautiful plants on their property. The neighborhood it's in is quiet, but there is a lot to do within walking distance. I would absolutely love to stay here again during my next trip to Austin!"
219202,22353938,2014-11-04,16916016,David_m_(email hidden),"Edie and Alberto are excellent hosts and have a wonderful, clean and conveniently-located bungalow. Edie even picked me up at the airport which was greatly appreciated. They also made a very comfortable futon (which is basically a bed) so I could stay with my friend.
Don't be dissuaded by the location; I was in Austin for the F1 race and Uberx only costs about $6 to get downtown and the cars show up at the bungalow in less than two minutes. Also they have 5 bikes and it is a flat easy 5-10 minute ride downtown. Thanks again Edie!"
219202,22924378,2014-11-17,23458129,Alex,"Edie was a lovely hostess. She welcomed us upon arrival and provided local recommendations which proved very useful! The bungalow was very comfortable and the neighborhood was very well located. Prior to arriving, she was very timely in answering all of my questions. Definitely would recommend a visit to Austin and a stay at the Quiet Bungalow!"
219202,23651997,2014-12-07,2457839,Gregory,"Edie's place was amazing, simply put. Maybe my best experience on Airbnb thus far. Great location, wonderful communication, and the place was spacious, clean, and beautiful! Much better than advertised. Thank you!!"
219202,23946566,2014-12-15,6097121,Patrick,"Had another wonderful stay at Edie and Alberto's oasis in Austin. Loved it all, it is so peaceful there. And I love the little touches, such as bandaids, aspirin and q-tips, the kind of things I often need and never have while traveling.

Thanks again Edie.    Patrick"
219202,24285798,2014-12-24,2457839,Gregory,"This was our second time staying with Edie and Alberto in a two week period. Our experience was just that good, and only got better. Edie and Alberto extend a neighborly welcome that will remind you of the good old days, and make you believe these still ARE the good old days. 

The guest house is immaculate, better and larger than the photos suggest. Full kitchen, extremely comfortable queen bed, close proximity to some of the best restaurants, bars, and shops in Austin.

Thank you so much y'all.

219202,25605384,2015-01-20,25414371,Benjamin,"Edie and Alberto were absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Edie picked us up from the airport upon arrival which we already felt was way over the top helpful, knowing how hard it can often be in other cities to get in from the airport. We loved the bungalow immediately upon arrival! It's just as nice as it looks in the photos and the kitchen, fridge and cupboards were stocked with just enough essentials (bottled water, soda, tea and coffee, not to mention the jar of delicious cookies on the counter!) so that we didn't need to go to the store for anything except some Lone Star. We didn't end up cooking there, because of all the great food in Austin, but the kitchen was great and well stocked for cooking, with a full-size gas stove. We felt so comfortable at this property, inside and out, and although we tried to make sure and give them space, we never felt out of place and whenever we came ""home"", Edie and Alberto were always there with a smile and a suggestion about someplace new we might want to try, and they welcomed us to take advantage of the bikes and any outdoor space. The private little alcove next to the bungalow is a great place for a cup of coffee in the morning, and makes it feel like you have a small space outdoors to yourself, which we thought was a nice touch. The only thing that might be close to as cool as the property itself was how great East Austin is. It was our favorite part of the city and Edie and Alberto's place provides a great jumping off point. We walked about 10 minutes to get to La Barbeque (totally worth it), and there are so many places I can't even include them in this post but there are great options abound for anyone who loves to walk and explore."
219202,26063043,2015-02-02,11612561,Amelia,"We had an amazing time at Edie and Alberto's place!  They were incredibly welcoming and the place is awesome- it looks even better in person than it does in the pictures.  The space is large, has plenty of natural light and tons of character.  Edie and Alberto have put a lot of time and care into making the space special. The outdoor space is equally impressive.  In addition to the  more private patio in the back of the guesthouse, there is space to sit in the front and a cool terrace on top of their work shed.  There were tons of little ""extras"" also- tasty cookies in the kitchen, travel size of anything you would need in the bathroom, interesting books about Austin on the bookshelf and plenty of bikes to choose from if you like to get around town that way.  The neighborhood is convenient to other parts of Austin (we biked to Zilker park in about 20 mins) and has plenty to do within walking distance. Edie and Alberto even went above and beyond what we expected from a host by helping us rig a way to carry home an art piece that was too big to fit in our car- we were so impressed by their generosity! We will definitely be back!"
219202,26209170,2015-02-07,24667463,Chris,The cottage is delightful and has everything you might need for a stay in Austin.  The neighborhood is very quiet and Edie is very helpful with suggestions of local places to eat.
219202,26591061,2015-02-16,23830003,Andres,"Our hosts made us feel at home.  Edie and Antonio were very welcoming and offered guidance on restaurants, neighborhoods, and sites to see around Austin.  We always felt like we could approach them with any questions.  The bungalow was perfect, quite, clean and very spacious.  It had all of the utilities one may need on a vacation, a full size kitchen.  We enjoyed the neighborhood, it was walking distance to many restaurants and food trucks and a short bike ride to downtown.  If you want a place to stay in Austin.... look no further!!!"
219202,27013188,2015-02-23,20222613,Dianna,"Edie and Alberto were fabulous hosts!  Whenever I'm in Austin, they will be my first choice to stay.

THE SPACE
Perfect.  Like a stylish studio apartment that I am not stylish enough to put together myself.  Awesome Euro & Texas touches made it feel homey.  The cottage was super clean, bedding & towels fresh and tidy, and the HVAC worked great.

LOCATION
When our friends figured out where we were staying, they were totally jealous.  It's the up and coming hipster neighborhood of East Austin.  Great coffee, food & bars within walking distance, and about a $5-6 Uber from wherever you end up downtown.

HOSPITALITY
Awesome amenities!  Although we didn't take advantage, Edie left us great local coffee to brew (plus cream in the fridge!), snacks in the cupboard, and waters in the fridge.  Nice soap and shampoos in the bathroom too.  Finally, they put together a great list of their favorites in the neighborhood and city.

Five big stars!"
219202,27541025,2015-03-07,12152460,Kim,"Edie and Alberto were wonderful hosts! The place is beautiful; exactly as pictured and even homier. There was a fruit basket, snacks, and even a bowl of pecans from the tree in the backyard. 

It's just a 10-15 minute walk from the convention center, and there are lots of nearby bars and restaurants. 

And Edie let me mail a package of business cards over when I had to order last minute, which was so helpful.

Highly, highly recommend!"
219202,27644691,2015-03-09,25851978,Chavon,The Host's were very knowledgeable and welcoming- the house is gorgeous and the location is perfection. We were able to walk and ride bikes all over town. We had an absolute blast! It was worth every penny! I will stay here again. Great memories were had by all!
219202,28375537,2015-03-23,18687545,Matt,"Edie and her husband are great hosts! I'd recommend the stay to anyone. The cottage is in back of their house, but they were incredibly respectful of my privacy. They were super helpful and responsive. Even offered a free pickup from the airport when I arrived. Cottage is great location for all of East Austin, but very easy bike ride to downtown and a $6 cab ride from just about anywhere. Cottage was spacious for 1 or 2 people for sure. Great shower, bed, fast internet (no tv) and nice kitchen. Great place! "
219202,29500402,2015-04-08,4872312,Margy,Edie and Alberto were very welcoming and the place is even more beautiful now than when the pictures were taken! We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see in Austin. We would definitely stay here again!!!
219202,29831664,2015-04-13,9080781,Leslie,"We had a great experience at Edie's quiet, comfortable, immaculate, and beautifully appointed bungalow.  She and Alberto were the soul of hospitality, including friendly responses to my flurry of emails after our flight was delayed.  They were very accommodating about that and in all other ways.  The bungalow has every convenience,  and filled with art and personal touches that really make the space come alive.  "
219202,31336929,2015-05-04,8740591,Ryan,"This neighborhood is great. It's close to the running trail at town lake, downtown and the eastside, but it still feels like a secluded area. The bungalow was clean, quiet, and very pleasant to be in."
219202,31663212,2015-05-08,7402021,Samantha,"This place is perfect!!  Very clean, quiet and Edie provides everything you may need.  The bikes were awesome.  She even gave us a ride to the airport.  Austin is an awesome city, we'll be back and will for sure stay here again.  Their bungalow was for sure in our top 3 places we have stayed with Airbnb.  "
219202,31900096,2015-05-11,979446,Matthew,"We had a fantastic time at Edie and Alberto's home. The house itself is a spotless, quirky studio with an amazingly comfortable bed and gorgeous garden. The pictures don't do it justice. They thought of everything a guest would need to feel welcome. Great location close to E 6th and Lady bird lake trail. Definitely recommend borrowing their bikes and exploring the city. One of our favorite airbnb spots so far. When we make it back to Austin we will not hesitate to contact Edie and Alberto again. Thanks again!!! "
219202,32761404,2015-05-21,29477201,Carol,"Edie and Alberto were the Ultimate Hosts and made us feel right at home. They were there when we needed them but gave us our privacy at the same time. The home is warm and welcoming and was exactly like the pics represented. We both loved all of the decor, plants, and the little extras like a hairdryer, delicious coffee, Q tips, Shampoos etc. We would stay here again if back in Austin. The location was perfect too. Close to downtown but far enough away to be quiet and secure. I highly recommend this lovely cottage. "
219202,33250759,2015-05-26,6959553,Ellis,"Edie and Alberto's bungalow is an amazing find!  Located on a very quiet street in East Austin, it is an easy walk to restaurants, bars, East 6th, downtown, the hike and bike trail and more.  The house was thoughtfully designed and includes two large closet and drawers, a kitchen, washer and dryer, etc. - all the amenities you will need.  It was stormy during our visit so we didn't get the opportunity to sit on the patio or on the roof of the shed in the yard.  Next time!   Edie and Alberto are very warm and friendly, such lovely people. They offered suggestions of their favorite local hangouts and checked in on us when the dramatic storms passed through. We highly recommend staying here!!"
219202,33826524,2015-06-01,32665410,Amanda,The apartment was more beautiful than the pictures make it seem. Between the art in and outside of the house and the beautiful plants all around it was truly a beautiful place to spend a vacation. Edie was wonderful and even transported us to and from the airport. She was super helpful in recommending things to do and showed us the best places to eat around town. She had a list of nearby places to visit and the apartment was already full of necessities. It was a wonderful experience!! 
219202,34507040,2015-06-08,18484534,Charlie,"Loved this place. Super quiet and private. I needed time to decompress and this was the perfect spot to do it. 

Edie was a wonderful host and made sure I had everything I need. 

Highly recommended. "
219202,37210396,2015-07-05,12987630,Chelsea,"Loved this charming Bungalow in a great neighborhood in Austin. The hosts were very accommodating. The kitchen and bathroom was stocked with everything we could have needed and more. I did not want to leave, thanks for a great stay!"
219202,38145888,2015-07-13,6097121,Patrick,"I have stayed with Edie and Alberto several times now and it is absolutely my favorite place in Austin. I have stayed at several other airbnb places, (now only when they are booked) and none come close to the peace and quiet and care I feel at their home. I always feel deeply nourished leaving. It is only fair to tell others how wonderful it is to stay there, but I really wish nobody else knew so I could also get the booking there! But, their hospitality is meant for everyone so I am glad to speak what is true for me.      Patrick

219202,40047362,2015-07-27,39196024,Mike,Great place in an exciting part of town. Edie was amazing through the whole process and everything was really easy. I would stay here again!
219202,46219405,2015-09-08,25689922,Ryan,"Edie and Alberto were amazing hosts. The space is even better than the pictures and they did everything they could to make us feel welcome. Edie met us in person when we checked in and gave us a little tour and explain how everything worked. Alberto even took portrait photos of my fiance and I (for free) and had them ready for us to take home by the time we checked out. The space was super clean, with plenty of indoor and outdoor ""chill"" space. 10/10 would definitely stay here again."
219202,47102463,2015-09-15,183833,Becca,Edie's bungalow was great. It felt like a little tropical oasis. The place was cozy and private with beautiful art throughout the home and even snack in the kitten. Super close to everything (including Veracruz tacos for breakfast). Edie gave suggestions of places nearby for kayaking and other activities. I would definitely recommend staying here on your trip to Austin for a lovely home away from home. 
219202,47532154,2015-09-20,12968399,Georgia,"I had a wonderful stay at Edie's bungalow! I was in Austin for a conference and it was the perfect place to stay for a few days - quiet and cozy, accessible / walkable to downtown and other cool parts of the city, a comfy bed, and a great place to relax or work. Edie provided coffee, tea, and a few snacks and the kitchen is well equipped if you want to do your own cooking. I was disappointed to not be able to explore the city more but Edie had lots of suggestions for local restaurants and places to explore, and had bikes available for borrowing. Be sure to check out some of the cool bars, restaurants, and food trucks in the east side neighborhood, also its very easy to get to the paths along the lake/river. Thank you Edie! "
219202,48021262,2015-09-22,38512173,Megan,"I had an amazing time at Edie's bungalow! The space was really relaxing and comforting, with plenty of space for my boyfriend and I. I also loved the location because it was close enough to everything that we wanted to be able to access, including 6th street, Barton Springs, South Congress, etc. Also, don't forget about the bikes! They made it so much easier to get around ATX and experience the city life :) 
Edie and Alberto were very sweet hosts who made me feel very welcome in their home. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I go back to Austin. This place was a perfect weekend paradise! "
219202,48573807,2015-09-27,43177652,Brian,This place is amazing. We will be back!  The place is beautiful the hosts are so friendly. Edie is so helpful. She even took us to the airport at the last minute.  If anyone is looking to stay in Austin this is the place to stay!
219202,49970551,2015-10-08,3245213,Rachel,"We had a wonderful time at Edie's place, she was so kind and accommodating! She event picked us up at the airport late in the evening (incredible Texan hospitality!). The AirBNB space they created is perfect for an extended stay. We had all we needed and the location was fantastic. We didn't have a car and frankly didn't need one. Everything was within walking distance and if we were feeling tired, we could just grab an Uber or Lyft, super easy."
219202,50064271,2015-10-09,3245213,Rachel,Edie was basically the best. She couldn't have been more accommodating or welcoming. The place is beautiful and the location is perfect. Quiet but also totally walkable to downtown. Just perfect!

219202,52210355,2015-10-27,21696454,Pamela,"We came to Austin for the Formula One race. The weather was stormy, the weekend noisy and busy. Edie's bungalow was a peaceful haven. It is a charming place with lots of personality. We loved staying there. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. We especially appreciated the washer and dryer! The rain and mud at COTA made them essential for a comfortable stay. "
1678357,10805920,2014-03-08,214921,Anatoly,Very pretty room in a nice house at a great location. 15 minute walk to downtown. Lots of old school and hipster joints in the neighborhood. Danielle is super nice -- offers the best homemade recommendation map in town. Roommates are very friendly. Three thumbs up.

1678357,15690876,2014-07-14,16351243,Amber,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was great! The house is a super cute craftsman style house, in a vibrant and artsy neighborhood. Its right on a main thoroughfare which makes getting places really easy. Danielle let me borrow her bike and I could get to downtown Austin by bike trail in about 10 min. I felt very safe in the house and neighborhood. She even drew a great map of local coffeshops, cafes, etc. "
1678357,21285704,2014-10-14,19651687,Katie,"
I really enjoyed my experience staying at Danielle's house. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. Danielle was also very friendly and helpful to all of our questions. Also, the house is located in a cool part of town with a lot of cute restaurants nearby. Would def recommend to a friend! "

This location was completely central for my needs in a full service building with a grocery store in the lobby - it doesn't get any better than that! 

Curtis was super nice and helpful - a really great host who was always available to answer any questions. 

I had a great stay."

They welcomed us with local brews from Texas which was a wonderful touch! In addition to this they made sure to have extra air mattresses ready as our whole team was staying in the house during SXSW. They made sure we had plenty of towels and linens all ready for us. The whole experience was truly great from beginning to end! Thank you Jason!"
2352061,10924464,2014-03-13,6785759,Noël,"The house was amazing. Super cool artwork, cozy beds, and a great backyard and front porch for enjoying the Austin sunshine.

We especially loved the proximity to food and nightlife - we ate breakfast tacos at the Quickie Pickie down the street pretty much every day, and went back to get a growler of beer at night.

Mary and Daniel were very gracious hosts and had anticipated every need we could have asked for. Our group of 8 slept comfortably and loved Austin. Thanks guys!"
2352061,11032987,2014-03-17,5259414,Chris,Daniel and Mary were amazing and accomodating hosts. This cozy and comfortable home was more than me and my 6 other companions could have asked for. Our hosts were flexible and understanding with our itineraries which helped to relieve a bit of travel stressing. The house was a bit over a mile away from every venue which was also very convenient for walking. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay in Austin and I know me and my crew are looking forward to a repeat visit very soon!

The house is very spacious and furnished in a very Austin quirky / tasteful manner, with a huge backyard complete with a fire pit, bbq, picnic table, and hammock.

Highly recommended for large groups!"

I loved how secluded it felt in the space while only being a short 10 minute drive away from downtown. The neighborhood is very quaint, and just down the street there's a great view of some of the rolling landscape. The pictures portrayed the place accurately; it was very well kept and the hot tub was a big attraction. Jay even left two bottles of wine for us on the last night of our stay, which was a nice touch. "
3229143,24097174,2014-12-19,3261216,Tim,Really nice place in a suburban neighborhood but still close enough to all the action downtown and on South Congress. The King Size bed in the master bedroom was the biggest bed I've ever seen and the hot tub was awesome.

The booking was super smooth and I had all the information I needed plus a contact person ready to help if anything came up. Hot tub was great- really hot (it takes a little while to warm up the first time though, so remember to get it going). Location is quiet and calm while being close enough to all the action especially with a car. The bed was super comfortable and I had a great time in Austin. Thanks!"

3229143,45157841,2015-08-31,20241822,Parisa,We really enjoyed our stay at Jay's. It was a nice place and very clean with great location. Just a few minutes from Barton springs and not too far from downtown with lots of great restaurants around. The only problem we had was that we were excited for the hot tub which is one of the major attractions to the place and it was not working. It wasn't too big of a deal because it was pretty hot outside to be getting in the hot tub. If the hot tub is something that attracts you to the place I would maybe recommend checking to see if it is working at the time. 
3229143,49725950,2015-10-05,25766723,River,Jay's home was perfect for our stay in Austin.  Just the right amount of space for our group of three and in a great location in the city.  Would absolutely stay here again with our group.

The patio area was very relaxing, and we enjoyed occasional visits from the backyard bunny.  I highly recommend this truly relaxing getaway, perfect for a South Austin visit, close to the best restaurants and sites the city has to offer."
2006522,15546355,2014-07-11,5921993,Roisin,"I stayed at Ann's studio in Austin for 10 days and loved it. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and the flat was perfect for my purposes - clean, cute and with a very comfortable bed. Check-in and and check-out were really easy and Ann left great directions for everything, along with some good tips for eating and entertainment in the area. I used the bikes to get around Austin. They were handy to have because this isn't the most central place, being a little outside of the downtown area. It's a great retreat if you want somewhere a little quieter and more residential though, and there are some good eating options in the area. Probably better for those who are driving than not. Aircon was fantastic for those hot summer days and nights, didn't hear any of the other residents in the house and with our own private entrances, they might as well not have been there.

2006522,26850108,2015-02-20,4731222,Julie,"This was a last minute reservation after getting out of an uncomfortable/stressful airbnb reservation. Ann was very responsive and assuring that her place was clean and warm (cos it was actually really cold and rainy in Austin).  The studio was small and clean, just as described.  We weren't looking for a big space to lounge -- her bed was comfortable and that's pretty much all we needed. The neighborhood is great and close to really awesome food and retail shops."
2006522,45828014,2015-09-06,1690360,Tana,"It was a great setup, had a great experience thank you!"
2006522,47131488,2015-09-15,18110310,Glenn,"Ann was very accommodating in her quick response getting the key to us due to our early arrival (which was our fault in not communicating our exact time).   The ""cozy studio"" was just as described; comfy bed!  The kitchen was well equipped for preparing and serving meals.  Loved the patio and neighborhood, quiet and fun to walk around, close to restaurants.  We especially enjoyed the proximity to Zilker/Town Lake hike and bike trail.  Glenn and Karen"
2006522,48560320,2015-09-27,42605993,Whitney,"Ann was very helpful during the process, communicating thoroughly and consistently. They had great instructions about how to enter the unit, and certain information about the unit during our stay. She was always very welcoming and helpful."
2006522,49873887,2015-10-07,15452407,Renee,Our trip to Austin was wonderful. The Cozy Studio met our needs perfectly. The location could not have been better. Ann was great she took care of us. And helped us with any questions we had.  The Cozy Studio was clean and comfortable. We had a nice patio to enjoy our morning coffee and a night cap.
2006522,50456989,2015-10-12,24664618,Currey,"Amazing! What a LOVELY space. Ann and her husband could not have been more friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Ann was always quick to respond with any questions I had and the neighborhood was absolutely beautiful! "
4066631,27443729,2015-03-04,21120964,Sarbjit,"Caroline had a lovely house in a very nice neighbourhood of Austin - everything you need for a nice getaway. She was incredibly friendly and helpful - giving us great tips on local restaurants, bars and nightlife - all highly appreciated. We would definitely recommend staying there."
4066631,28011956,2015-03-16,9554738,Jenée,"We felt very welcomed into Caroline's home...we were greeted with fresh flowers, & a wonderful list of spots to check out in the neighborhood.  Her home is very comfortable & is brimming with lovely antique treasures & gorgeous art.  We really enjoyed our stay at Caroline's!"
4066631,28225315,2015-03-20,11404148,Joshua,"Caroline was a great host.  Her vintage bungalow was just as described and exactly like the photos.  It has a great style and is very tastefully decorated.  The area of Hyde Park and North Loop is great for food and bars and she left us a useful guide to all of the surrounding restaurants, vintage stores, etc.  Next time in Austin I would definitely try to stay here again."
5839837,50721901,2015-10-13,30869873,Harvey,It was far out but clean place. A great area if you have a car. Also great for cycling. I also liked the exercise equipment.
4233678,22685960,2014-11-11,21610266,Shannon,"Amanda's place was tidy and had everything we needed.  The bed is comfy.  She was easy to corrospond with and made picking up the keys easy.  The location of her place is really great, lots of good shops and restaurants within walking distance.  The place comes with parking, which is very convenient as well. When we arrived, she had left us some Texas beer in the fridge, which were very welcome after our long journey.    "
4233678,28069073,2015-03-17,1334564,Logan,House was very clean and neat. Great stay. Would recommend anyone to stay there. Very central and walkable as well.
4233678,28302771,2015-03-22,8674293,Julie,"Our host met us when I checked in and gave me a tour/all the deets. The place was actually more spacious than I thought it would be based off descriptions and pics, and it is super close to downtown area. Not only that, but it's in South Congress and that area rocks!"

Very nice person and very confortable and spacious  appartment for spending a week in Austin  
The acces to the center of the city was very easy , by walking 25 min and taking  the metro train at MLK Junior station
We highly recommend this appartment

1063725,9009539,2013-12-01,3848010,Sachiko,"My husband and I stayed at Jamie's place for 2 nights.
The place was just as described/shown here. Very organized and comfortable.
Just off the highway, very convenient and quiet neighborhood, close to the city.
Highly recommended.
Thank you, Jamie!"
1063725,9070657,2013-12-04,8871947,Alison,The space was great - clean and cutely decorated. Jamie was also very prompt in responding to emails. The only slightly negative thing I have to say is about the proximity of the apartment to Interstate 35 and the noise associated with that (it's like a constant hum). If you are noise sensitive/a light sleeper this may not be the place for you. That being said - the proximity to the highway also makes it very easy to get around town.
1063725,9960866,2014-01-21,519291,Ambere,"This was my first time as an AirBNB guest and I was THRILLED with my experience.  It was exactly what I wanted and as described: a cozy little cottage with almost anything I could need to be comfortable in my home-away-from home.

Jamie was a pleasure to interact with and I can heartily recommend staying in her quiet, comfy home.  There are a variety of books stocked for every taste as well as a great stock of games should you feel the inclination to partake.

She stocked the fridge with beverages and a few snacks.

There is a major grocery store, HEB, right across the street along with several restaurants, a nail salon, massage envy and GNC.  The Boggy Creek trail is just down Wilshire and offers a great trail to run, walk or bike with beautiful sculptures, ponds and of course the Mueller Food Truck park!"
1063725,18910130,2014-09-02,18783939,Brian,Jamie was a great host and her place was awesome. It provided everything that we needed to make a great first Airbnb experience. Location worked out well and everything was in place to make our experience as seamless as possible -- would definitely recommend.
1063725,19656852,2014-09-15,4451941,Bryan,"It's very easy and smooth stay with Jamie. The place is lovely located in a green community, lots of surprise. The house is clean and we loved the morning coffee. Andy came by and said hi the night we arrived, very easy and comfortable stay."
1063725,20197900,2014-09-25,5779186,Nicolò,"We had a perfect stay at Jamie's! The house is fantastic, clean, and in a nice neighborhood.  We especially appreciated that Jamie provided us with bottled water -- both, sparkling and still -- for the duration of our stay!

The house was located near a bus stop, which was very convenient for us, since we had to be at the Alamo theater on South Lamar every day.

Only negative thing was the air conditioning that was a bit loud from the bedroom, where you could hear the machinery operating from the outside. Very minor complaint though, and something we got used to after a day or two. 

Highly recommended, and great communication before, during and after the our stay!"
1063725,20840487,2014-10-06,12536091,Sara,This house is charming! The decor was beautiful. It's central and but close enough to busy downtown. Jamie and her husband were very accommodating. I will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Austin!
1063725,21611406,2014-10-20,2707808,Paritosh,Jamie and her husband made the experience very warm and comfortable. The place is put together very nicely and the hosts are accommodating and extremely responsive. The home is conveniently  located and in a nice quiet neighborhood. I would definitely stay there again!
1063725,21888986,2014-10-26,9230081,Elia,"The space was clean and comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. Convenient location near I-35 made it easy to get downtown and around Austin. 

Communication with the Jaime was thorough and timely.

Everything was perfect and I would definitely stay here again! "
1063725,22363281,2014-11-04,787261,Liz,"Jamie was a great host.  The check in process was super easy and convenient.  We loved the decor and neighborhood.  I would definitely recommend staying at Jamie's and I look forward to visiting again.

1063725,22554694,2014-11-09,13434809,Brian,"Jamie was so accommodating of all sorts of requests.   The space was perfect- comfy bed, well appointed living room, great books!   Perfect location to hop in an uber or car and be right in the heart of things.  Also, close coffee shop and great restaurant bar close by make this a no brainer!"
1063725,22976059,2014-11-18,1614979,Joe Bob,The reservation was canceled 35 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1063725,22993346,2014-11-19,12061706,R,"What a great place to stay! It's spotless, cute, and the bed sleeps like a cloud! That bed was so comfortable, it was tough waking up in the mornings! To boot, Jamie is very responsive. I needed to press my shirts for an event, and she was kind enough to bring over her ironing board and iron. Awesome overall experience. Very quiet neighborhood. Super convenient to town. The only caveat I have is that it's not an entire house- it's a bedroom, a 1/2 bath, and a living room area that has a desk, chairs, books, a futon, a coffee/tea maker, etc. There is also a mini fridge in there, which really came in handy. But no kitchen or washing facilities. She discloses that the space is part of her house in her description- I just didn't read it all the way to the end. My fault, really. Still, we loved our experience. The price is very reasonable, and we would stay here again! "
1063725,24761537,2015-01-02,2765100,Lizzy,"Thank you Jamie, we had such a lovely stay at your East Austin home.  My fiancé and I were just in town for 3 days, and were able to see and do so much!  The home is conveniently located to many great neighborhoods.  The waters and beer were a warm welcome after a long drive from Dallas.  The house and bathroom were very clean.  We would definitely stay at Jamie's house again on our next visit."
1063725,26325030,2015-02-09,26709404,Matthew,"We had a brilliant time staying with Jamie. The apartment was super cute and we felt right at home. The location was ideal for getting around and we were very close to great breakfast spots, parks, and just a short trip to the heart of the city. We will definitely recommend her place to any friends coming to Austin. "
1063725,26695953,2015-02-17,4639954,Gillian,"The East Austin Charmer is a very cute, tranquil space and we felt right at home when we arrived. Everything went smoothly, the place was very nicely decorated and tidy. It's conveniently located near highway 35, the bus, and not too far from the UT campus, a Fiesta supermarket as well as being not too far from Mother's Cafe and great coffee and baked goods nearby. When we had internet connectivity issues, our hosts were very helpful. All in all a really nice stay and Austin is beautiful."
1063725,27019205,2015-02-23,10928050,Kate,"Jamie was a great host for our weekend in Austin! She left us a useful list of local restaurants / stores and the home was exactly as described.

The location was pretty convenient to downtown and we enjoyed some time on the hammock out front on a beautiful afternoon."
1063725,27405308,2015-03-03,1491888,Carlos,"Just as wonderful as it looks! About $20 Uber to Airport, $10 to Downtown. Good market nearby and bus stop to downtown. Jamie was very accommodating. This is a private area of the house with a private entrance. I'll take away 1-star because of the, uncomfortable sofa-bed in the living room, and shower which is made for kids (can still shower, but not relaxing)."
1063725,27770381,2015-03-11,3274020,Alec,"This place is such a charmer indeed! It's cozy, quaint, and well appointed. Also, most importantly for me, it was very well located near some great parts of Austin (Cherrywood, Hyde Park, and North Loop). Another key point (as per my fiancee): Jamie provided great toiletries. It exemplified Jamie's attention to detail and taste."
1063725,28034413,2015-03-16,50863,Victor,"Jamie and her husband were some of the best hosts I've had so far!  Absolutely phenomenal place, great location, quiet, absolutely adorable decor, I think they have a good handle of DIY projects.  Mattress is super comfortable, tons of towels and sheets, and the hammock was heavenly.  On top of that, Jamie responded very quickly to anything I needed and they were very accommodating with our checkin and checkout times.  Would definitely come back to stay next year!"
1063725,28166865,2015-03-19,20476422,Guillaume,Jamie's place was as described and pictures accurate. The location is quiet yet not far at all from downtown. I'd definitely recommend Jamie's place. 
1063725,29969827,2015-04-15,1571774,Anya,"Jamie has an adorable place and we loved staying there. She and her husband were welcoming and helped us navigate our stay in Austin. We loved sitting outside on the hammock, walking around the neighborhood and sitting in the lovely living room.  It was a great stay and we highly recommend Jamie's place!"
1063725,30564134,2015-04-24,3057222,Susan,"Our stay at the ""East Austin Charmer"" was a great one!  The accommodations were perfect for my daughter and me and were just as described.  Jamie made every effort to make us feel welcome and her restaurant advice was helpful and convenient. The apartment was very clean and cozy!  Jamie's location was ideal for traveling throughout the Austin area and was set in a lovely neighborhood.   In addition to the hospitality of our hosts, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit in Austin."
1063725,31011973,2015-04-30,29278567,Ryan,Everything was perfect!  Our stay was enjoyable and the place was very relaxing and comfortable.  I will definitely seek out Jamie's listing on future visits to Austin.  Thanks again!
1063725,31370832,2015-05-04,5910478,Emmy,"Adorable place, and Jamie was great!"
1063725,32086278,2015-05-13,3309958,Eugene,"""Charmer"" is right!  Jamie's place is clean, bright, very comfortable.  There's obviously no kitchen, so if that's your thing, you probably need to look elsewhere, but she does provide a coffeemaker and mini-fridge for leftover BBQ and enchiladas.  The neighborhood is not exactly in the thick of it, but Uber is cheap and sometimes it's nice to have a little quiet time."
1063725,32631327,2015-05-19,32993733,Virginia,"Loved staying at Jamie's home!  It was the perfect quiet neighborhood, within easy walking distance to some of our favorite spots (in.gredients, Redeemer Presbyterian, the thai food truck on Manor) and close enough to everything else.  Super easy to get to right of off 35, which for being so close to 35, there was really no road noise.  Jamie was super quick to respond and communicate with.  Check-in/out was really flexible and easy, which was convenient as we didn't have as flexible of a schedule.  Her place was super cozy and cute.  It felt like a home.  We loved the tea selection!  Jamie was even sweet to come to the event I was involved in to introduce herself and say hi.  Such a sweet seeming family.  Definite recommendation and such a delightful stay.  So glad we stayed here."
1063725,33301009,2015-05-26,33003096,Sarah,"Jamie and her husband and son were wonderful hosts. The unit was spacious and had great decor. The location is a great jumping off point to a bunch of stuff around the city, including the really hip areas like east 6th, but also easy access to the west and south parts of the city. We were also walking distance to a great park and children's museum, which was fantastic for us. 
They were accommodating and responsive to all of our questions, and were great tour guides as well. We would love to stay there again!"
1063725,34512201,2015-06-08,539819,Annalise,"Jamie was a great host to my mother in law. Her home was beautifully decorated, had clear instructions and was so close to Mueller!"
1063725,43187327,2015-08-17,36373298,Selena,"Everything was exactly as pictured--clean, cute and comfortable! Our schedule changed drastically, but Jamie was quick to respond and accommodated accordingly. Even though the neighborhood is just off I-35, there are plenty of huge trees and sweet houses to make you forget the interstate is nearby."
1063725,46222052,2015-09-08,26029087,Michael,"Great place!! Good communication, nice people. The location is amazing.  "

1063725,50674299,2015-10-13,10867353,Veronica,"My husband and I were down in Austin for ACL. We stayed at Jamie's studio, which was only a 10 minute Uber ride to downtown. The space is large, clean, and the decor was super chic. We had a wonderful time and would recommend Jamie's place to anyone wanting to stay in Austin."
1063725,51541054,2015-10-21,40391930,Danielle,"Jamie and her family were very kind and accommodating hosts. The room was very comfortable and I absolutely loved the decor style. The location was very conveniently close to downtown and while still being located in a quiet, charming neighborhood. Bonus points for the hammock in the yard! I loved laying on it and watching the squirrels scurry around. Highly recommend this place!  "
2754525,17401355,2014-08-11,19101967,Kristin,"Our stay at this cottage was lovely.  It had ample room for our family and we even hosted a family birthday party with extra relatives for dinner.  The public space was comfortable and the kitchen worked well.  The neighborhood was very nice.  Park down the street was convenient for the kids.  The only complaint is the train coming through at all hours of the night.  We didn't think we were that close, but the train whistle carries far.  Overall we would stay again on our trips to Austin."
2754525,18537124,2014-08-28,17137101,Abdulla,"Beautiful home, Great neighborhood, good memories. Thank you."
2754525,22375949,2014-11-04,8386485,Viviana,Love this cute bungalow! The host managed by Turn Key was welcoming and very professional! The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our weekend stay. The neighborhood was cute and very close to downtown Austin.
2754525,25267601,2015-01-11,2143543,Anne,"We had a great stay. Erica followed up via email and text prior to our arrival to make sure we had the house location and entrance information. Once we settled in, she phoned to see if we needed anything that the house did not already provide. The home was as charming as pictured and had everything we needed (wireless, comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen for cooking, etc.). The location was perfect with in walking distance or a short drive to South Congress, South Lamar and 1st street shops and restaurants. Too bad the weather wan't nicer, we would have loved to hang out in the spacious back yard and patio! "
6215403,31853380,2015-05-10,5052676,New,"Had one of my best airbnb experiences yet! From the hosting, to the amenities, to the neighborhood and local restaurants, this house was absolutely perfect.  Located just a short drive from downtown (uber rides were less than $10) it was a great way to see some local flavor, talk with someone that knows the area and enjoy better accommodations than a hotel.  Angela was so welcoming and made us feel right at home, would definitely stay here agin on our next Austin visit!"
6215403,32426791,2015-05-17,33209238,Alli,Angela was an outstanding host! This was my first AirBnb experience and it won't be my last. 
6215403,33007076,2015-05-24,7517859,Paul,"The place was soooooo perfect... Early morning the birds chirping away would wake me from my perfect slumber, the walk down the road to my destination was amazing and peaceful.

The home was welcoming, cosy, comfortable, with lots of light and the fluffiest, most awesome bed in the whole of Austin.

So could any one make it even better?? Yes!

Angela was the perfect host, always making sure I had everything I needed and that everything was to my liking.

Angela's kind attention and the comfort of her home only made it harder for me to leave.

Thank you Angela

Miss you Austin!"
6215403,34263039,2015-06-06,14994282,Kris,"This place was great! Such a cool house in a cool neighborhood, I wish I had been able to spend more time there. Angela was great too and made me feel not only welcome but like I had the place to myself. "
5547939,28101872,2015-03-17,12511156,Vishal,"The appartment was great. The room was huge and the ensuite bathroom was huge. The triangle is a great area to stay, and one minute from the bus stops. "
5547939,31396346,2015-05-04,27486751,Kyle,This was a great location! Rachel made sure we had everything we needed and was very helpful throughout our stay.

1635453,10642064,2014-03-01,1733136,Susan,"Rene is an outstandingly hospitable host, and her properties are adorable! From the first moment I contacted Rene to inquire about availability, her response was very timely and warm. Her south Austin neighborhood is safe, cheerful and full of a mix of young families, grad students, artists of all sort and older folks enjoying retirement. In addition, Rene is incredibly creative herself and you'll most likely find her working on any number of cool projects, from restoring a vintage motorcycle to installing solar on an Airstream trailer! She is always up for a chat or to share a home-cooked meal, but also has excellent instincts about when guests would like quiet, private time. Rene's back yard is large--a bonus for guests with dogs who need room to run around.

Rene's home is clean, artistically adorned--some of which includes her own artwork and design projects--and upon my arrival I found clean towels awaiting on the freshly-made bed. In case you've not brought your own reading materials, Rene has a great library of books on art, design and issues of Dwell Magazine going back years. Her kitchen is large, the fridge/freezer well kept, and a working dishwasher to boot. Computer and wireless internet available for use--all worked fine. Did I mention you should stay here!?"
1635453,10956633,2014-03-15,6161309,Lucie,What a pleasure it was to stay in Rene's house! The house is full of character and style. We stayed in the master bedroom that had great storage space and a very comfortable bed. The house was minutes walk from a bus stop into South 1st Street and Downtown. We absolutely loved our stay in Austin and won't forget the kind hospitality from Rene and Tom. We will be back! Thank you so much! Lucie + Stevie X
1635453,11084784,2014-03-19,12848099,Raymond,"It was everything i expected, nice comfortable master bedroom. Rene & Thomas were genuine nice people, it felt real great coming home to there after long hours downtown. I kind of want to go back there just for vacation period. Hopefully i can do the same again next year, Thank you guys again!!!!!!"
1635453,12033750,2014-04-21,14040822,Lindsey,"Rene's place was perfect for the weekend. 
It was a 10 minute drive from nearly everything! I think we were even talking about taking bikes next time. 

We felt at home and even cooked a couple meals there. We had the entire place to ourselves. My dog, Annabelle, came along and loved the backyard. She had a blast running around outside and laying her belly on the cool tile inside. 

Rene stopped by for a minute as we were packing up. She is super friendly and laid back. 

This was a really wonderful first airbnb experience. I cannot wait to travel like this more often. "
1635453,14002228,2014-06-09,16257766,Amos,"Awesome digs in a cozy (website hidden) worked great, comfy bed, eclectic decorations around the house.  Close to lots of coffee shops & food trucks, yet its in a quiet neighborhood.  A great place to be when in Austin."
1635453,14639082,2014-06-23,5269704,Dee,"I was really happy I got to stay here. The house is so cute and Austin cool! Didn't meet our hosts, but the keypad entry made it easy to come & go, not worry about keys or meeting up to exchange them. There was a nice roommate/local artist staying in the house at the time of our visit who helped us with suggestions of places to go eat. The vintage trailer looked cool too. Recommended! "
1635453,17918235,2014-08-18,3967658,Ryan & Tricia,Rene and Thomas' place was perfect. I enjoyed all of its charming details. It truly added to my delightful Austin experience. Its location was super convenient. And I got a great night's sleep. I'd love to come back for a longer stay next time. Thanks Rene and Thomas!
1635453,18925320,2014-09-02,755170,Daylon,"Wonderfully comfortable / kitschy 1950's stay! Very quiet, clean, and Rene and Thomas were wonderful hosts, very responsive and super easy and friendly to interact with. Highly recommend anyone coming to Austin to look them up!"
1635453,19653634,2014-09-15,16684402,Rachel,Rene made us feel very welcome! We never actually got to meet her but she was easily reachable via email and responded right away. She had beer in the fridge for us upon our arrival Friday night. Our flight wasn't until late Sunday afternoon and she was more than happy to let us hang around until then.
1635453,19916516,2014-09-20,21465409,Brian,We are extremely greatful the Rene and Thomas let us stay last minute!  It was a great place and it saved our trip.  Thank so much.
1635453,21365227,2014-10-15,22262082,Bobby,"Rene and Thomas happened to be out walking their dog when we arrived. They introduced themselves and provided us with some insight on a great place to eat. They immediately made us feel right at home. The house was awesome! It had a 1950's retro feel to it and the room, along with the entire house was very neat and clean. Rene and Thomas were even kind enough to place a water bowl and food bowl in our room for out dog Disco. The home has a fenced in backyard for your dog to run around in and when you stay here, you are only minutes from downtown. If we are ever in the Austin area again, we will be sure to stay at Rene and Thomas's place. I rate our experience here a 10 out of 10! Thanks again Rene and Thomas for the great hospitality. "
1635453,22008315,2014-10-27,9517007,Aengus,"This is a quiet spot and a very comfortable room in a house. I slept great, made my coffee in the kitchen in the morning, and had a nice chat with the woman staying in the room next to the one I had. I felt lucky to have found this place as I was booking so late. Rene and Thomas made it easy. Thank you."
1635453,22333465,2014-11-03,22740667,Sweet Melody,"Enjoyed our stay very much. Although we did not get a chance to meet our hosts,they were very accomidating. The house and room were exactly as described,eye pleasing and clean.Would definitely reccomend staying here."
1635453,23777987,2014-12-09,17926092,Gregory E,"Great, comfortable room. The house has a well stocked kitchen and clean bathroom. Everything was great and I would stay again."
1635453,26667826,2015-02-16,27738527,Oscar,"Quick response and great directions. Had everything I needed.
Very comfortable place, and good price. "
1635453,27039949,2015-02-23,4052395,Hani,We had a very comfortable stay in the master and appreciated the quick response from Rene. Loved the kitschy decor all throughout the home. Everything was easy and straight forward. Would happily return!
1635453,27376777,2015-03-02,22935541,Rick,"I stayed with Rene and Thomas for 2 nights this past weekend and everything was perfect.  The bed was comfortable, the shower was great, the neighborhood was quiet and the location provided easy access around town.  I really enjoyed the little mid-century modern touches around the house and I would definitely stay there again when I'm in Austin."
1635453,28143446,2015-03-18,1211296,Jenine,"Great place, a home away from home and nice to explore a bit of the area outside of downtown. There is a pretty jogging trail along side an old train track nearby. Next time Id like to try the airstream for fun and extra privacy instead of the bedroom."
1635453,28240105,2015-03-20,20914836,Christianna,I loved staying in Rene and Thomas' home. It was impeccably clean and in a very cute neighborhood. I loved the funky decor throughout the whole house. My two main priorities while attending SXSW are strong coffee and stronger wifi and they graciously provided both. I didn't have a chance to meet Rene and Thomas or even really correspond with them very much as I booked very last minute but would definitely stay here again regardless! 
1635453,28500428,2015-03-24,29105822,Rena,"This was my first AirBnB experience and I couldn't have had a better time. Once I put in the door code I knew I had made the best choice to stay here for my SXSW adventures. I loved how warm and inviting the house was decorated. I especially loved how I could lock the bedroom door when I was out & about && even when I went to bed. My husband also enjoyed knowing that I was sleeping safe & sound. Rene & Thomas were such fantastic hosts, she would text me back immediately and with helpful tips on how to fix the temperature. I'm so lucky to have found such a lovely place to stay at. I'd recommend their place to anyone. Thank you so much, Rene & Thomas."
1635453,29592756,2015-04-09,109517,Suzanne,"Rene made my late check in easy and everything was as I expected it  from the profile and images. 
The home is clean and well appointed very fashionably decorated to boot! 
 Very responsive and replied to my request and booking easily. 
cozy, quiet and completely groovy!"
1635453,30355718,2015-04-20,13077033,Totoria,"The room was nice and clean and in a good location from downtown. The only con was I didn't have a key to my room. I couldn't lock my door to secure my belongings. It wasn't a big deal I just made sure not to leave valuables in the room. I was in town for a night to support the MS150, it was a good spot for a quick trip into town. "
1635453,31255349,2015-05-03,15589313,Fengyi,We truly enjoyed our stay. Rene and Thomas gave us very detailed instructions on how to check in and it was an automatic process. The location is good in a cute neighborhood.
1635453,31908317,2015-05-11,296075,Christopher,"Cozy, cute, relaxing. I had all I needed at this little place. I had 2 different roommates during my stay but i didn't see either of them--which was nice. I had the place to myself most of the time. Quiet area. Chill space. 

And their organ is really fun to play with! Thanks, guys. "
1635453,32423742,2015-05-17,24862983,Vera,Boyfriend and I enjoyed our night here! The bed was comfy and the whole place was very neat and clean
1635453,32656360,2015-05-19,6033669,Ryan,Stayed a second time and it was great as expected. Met Rene and she's really interesting to talk with
1635453,33888199,2015-06-01,33000268,Sarah,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was good and easy. I stayed here with my friend and her small dog. There was another roommate with her dog and that was ok, we interacted a little bit. Didn't spend too much time in the house. It was nice and clean and it was in a cute neighborhood with easy parking. An easy drive to downtown and the river and park. Some good places to eat around the neighborhood too. We didn't meet the hosts but they were nice via airbnb messaging and checking in was easy. "
1635453,34384027,2015-06-07,22828853,Julie,"We had such a fun time staying at the artsy and fun home of Rene and Thomas. Things were clean and beautiful, and it was nice to meet the others staying on the property. We weren't in our room often, but we would definitely go back next time we re in Austin."
1635453,35257252,2015-06-16,18483275,Danielle,"This clean and quirky home is a great value--near all the art,  shopping and activities that attract me to Austin. Cute little yard and peaceful neighborhood. 

Know that while the experience may vary a bit due to the noise considerations from guests/pets in the adjoining Tron room,  I loved this spot and would definitely book again."
1635453,40064080,2015-07-27,39390851,Francisco,The place was very clean and very welcoming. Had an awesome airbnb experience.
1635453,42560099,2015-08-14,36465758,Trevor,"Great time at Rene's and Thomas' house! Everything was just as cool as in the pictures, and the bed was pretty comfortable. We didn't get a chance to meet them, but they made sure to check up on us to see if we needed anything. "
1635453,44259770,2015-08-24,35499441,Sarah,"Rene and Thomas' house was so much fun! Everything was exactly as it was described and it was a great ""Austin"" experience with all the funky/ modern/ retro decor. They answered all our questions quickly and they even gave us recommendations on where to eat once we arrived, which was very helpful. "
1635453,46248662,2015-09-08,2662185,Carla,I enjoyed my stay - the location was perfect for me. The house is very cute and I enjoyed the backyard for my morning coffee. I will look to book it again when in need of Austin lodging. 
1635453,48665057,2015-09-27,39431618,Ivana,"Rene was an extremely courteous host, this was one of the very first times I had used Air B&B so I didn't know what to really expect. Their home was just as charming as to be expected! after a long day of traveling (and work) Rene even set me up a little bit early so I could nap. I had complete privacy. I felt like I was in my own home, and everything was provided! I would recommend this to any one of my friends and definitely stay here again "
1635453,49720631,2015-10-05,45242356,Kate,"We could not have had a better experience here for Austin City Limits. We were close to public transportation and were able to avoid the chaos of the festival. The space was adorably decorated and we felt extremely at home for our entire stay. Thomas and Rene went above and beyond what was necessary to make sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay. They even left us ACL ""survivor kits"" complete with all of the essentials! I highly recommend this listing. "
1635453,50721072,2015-10-13,26555173,Vishal,I had a great time in Austin. The house was clean and nice and at a convenient location. They are quick to respond to messages and they had the room setup the night we came in. This was my first time using AirBnb and the whole experience was simple and convenient.Thanks Thomas and Rene for hosting us:)
1635453,51515204,2015-10-20,33972354,Felipe,"Had a good experience here. Nice, clean place in a quiet neighborhood. Close to public transportation and good places to eat. Would definitely book again."

6489777,50422556,2015-10-11,14638839,James,The host canceled this reservation 116 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2686649,12323143,2014-04-28,1448692,Katie,"Kelly and Mark were wonderful hosts! Their detached guest house was beautiful and comfortable, and our pug puppy enjoyed the big yard to chase sticks in. Kelly was flexible with our arrival and departure times, and she even brought my fiancé's forgotten wallet down to San Antonio (where we live) with her on a next-day trip. Warm, responsive, and lovely people. I highly recommend their place to other travelers."
2686649,13057643,2014-05-18,9487674,Lauren,"We were not able to stay in their home due to car difficulties on our road trip, but the owners were extremely nice and very very helpful on recommendations and clear concise communication (even giving suggestions for other cities along our trip). I wish we made it, but would definitely try again on my next trip to Austin! "
2686649,13447848,2014-05-27,15613036,Keelie,"This place was so perfect for us. We lived in Austin previously and did not even realize how convenient this awesome location was going to be when we stayed here. It is just wonderful. The place is adorable and clean, but the best part of all is Mark and Kelly. They went above and beyond to help us out. We had our dog with us and it was going to limit how long we could be at Schlitterbahn (the epic water park down the highway 45 minutes), so they let our dog out to potty and play in the middle of the day so that we could maximize our water park time. They made sure we had everything we needed before our arrival. They really felt like they were old friends taking care of us, even though we'd never met. And if you have a dog, the yard is good for some play time, but the location is also great for walking your dog, and there is a little park right by that has a poop station with bags. I would recommend this place to anyone, but especially anyone with a dog, or anyone that wants to feel right at home in a fabulously great location in Austin. Also, if you stay here, be sure to take a nap on one of the sofas with the soft, fuzzy blanket. That was actually the highlight of my Memorial weekend. :)"
2686649,13705031,2014-06-02,1721701,Erica,"Kelly and Mark were great hosts! The apartment was very clean, spacious and well kept. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the South Austin area. "
2686649,13929331,2014-06-08,15692730,Patricia,"Kelly & Mark's place was ideal for our short stay in Austin. Located in South Austin, it's only a short cab away from Dowtown and the many bar scene areas. Their property is very nice and spacious. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the south Austin area. They made us feel welcome and we look forward to being repeat guests! "
2686649,14214134,2014-06-14,16334052,Patrick,"We stayed with mark and Kelly last minute after traveling through San Antonio. If was a great place, mark and Kelly have us space and were hospitable and all in all a very good experience.
Would stay there again!"
2686649,14411015,2014-06-18,16417742,Rod,"Great hosts! They provided everything we needed and without us even having to ask. Delightful couple.Very cool house..quiet neighborhood. You can immerse yourself in the Austin(SOCO) culture effortlessly.Very pet friendly as well.

Thanks Kelly and Mark , We'll be back."
2686649,14807261,2014-06-26,17174582,Nicolette,"Over-nighting with adult children and grandchildren at the beautifully decorated and well equipped South Austin lodge was a perfect and very comfortable stay for the whole family. We were welcomed by host, Mark. Kelly made made sure we had everything that we needed and went out of her way to provide us with a pack and play for the baby and both Mark and Kelly provided us with great info about the area. We would recommend this place to people from the anywhere in the world. If you like space, privacy and peace, as well as  the convenience of being right near the ""happenings"" of Austin, this is the venue. "
2686649,15725094,2014-07-14,17710892,Scott,"Nothing but wonderful things to say about this listing. Wonderful people, and very accommodating. I had a puppy with me, and the yard in front was a life saver. The lodge itself was exceptionally comfortable, and immaculately appointed. Location is decent if a bit far from downtown, but not unreasonable by any means. A bit pricey but split between a couple or two and its  totally worth it. One side note, and its possible I just missed it but I was under the impression that there were two bedrooms, instead of one. Still worked out great!"
2686649,15983607,2014-07-19,16472127,Garrett,"Kelly and Mark clearly take a lot of pride in their there property.  It is an immaculately clean and incredibly comfortable place, located in a perfect location.  Not too close and not too far from everything going on.  Our only regret was not staying longer."
2686649,16813648,2014-08-02,8868634,Ben,"This place is fantastic! Will definitely be back here again soon. Kelly and Mark are great hosts and the place is just perfect. Super clean, comfortable bed, and great living room for hanging out. "
2686649,16967029,2014-08-04,12135835,Aubrey,"Kelly and her husband were awesome! Super accommodating, smooth with communication and the sweetest. Brooke and I loved the place. It was clean, very trendy and would definitely recommend it!"
2686649,18175829,2014-08-23,13631839,Lydia,Kelly & Mark were wonderful hosts and the property was great!  They were very kind and made us feel very comfortable.  It looks just like the pics and is in a nice quiet neighborhood but in walking or bus/cab distance to everything.  Kelly was extremely helpful with details about the area and bus line etc. She was very patient with all of my questions.  Her communication was great and immediate.   I thought it was such a beautiful place.  All the homey touches made it very welcoming.  They really make a nice effort to make you feel at home.  I was traveling with my parents (with a very picky Mom) and they loved the place too.  I will definitely try to return. 
2686649,19237998,2014-09-08,19563976,Rio,The property was amazing and in a great neighbourhood. I always felt safe and Kelly and Mark made me feel so welcome. They have the sweetest golden retriever Dixie who loves people and as a dog lover it was so nice having a dog on the property while I was there. The house is very clean and decorated in a chic and home-y way so I was very comfortable. The house is near everything and I didn't have to drive more than 10 minutes to get to every where I wanted to go. I would definitely return to Kelly and Mark's the next time I'm in Austin. 
2686649,19579720,2014-09-14,12804538,Matt,"Kelly and Mark's guest house was awesome! It was nicely furnished and in a great location. The place was clean and had all the amenities we needed, including those for our dog.  Kelly is very nice and made us feel welcome during our stay. We would definitely consider staying there again when we are in Austin. "
2686649,19854389,2014-09-19,16206947,Adam,"Great little spot. Kelly and Mark made everything super easy. Check in and all that went swell. Throughout our three night stay, Kelly was always in communication and there if we needed her. Would stay again. "

2686649,20073514,2014-09-22,21504183,Amanda,"From the first second we walked into the door Kelly and Mark made us feel at home. They left us a great welcome note with suggestions on local food and breweries within the area which was greatly appreciated. The place was beautiful, clean and nicely furnished. The place had all the amenities that we needed. Check in was very smooth and we felt very welcomed by Kelly and Mark. Good location in Austin. Would defiantly stay again."
2686649,20351108,2014-09-28,20326872,Meg,"I felt very welcomed and enjoyed my week-long stay here. The guest house was very clean and had everything I needed. I especially loved the bed (so comfy!) and all the supplies in the master bath, like lotion, a hair dryer, etc. I felt the listing was very accurate, and Daisy (the dog) was super-friendly! I would recommend this to anyone that wants to be close to South Lamar, South Congress and all the great restaurants and places in between!"
2686649,20525327,2014-09-30,20089334,Lindsay,"Staying with Kelly and Mark was such a pleasant experience! Their home is clean, adorably decorated, and welcoming. It was also in a great location - we were able to get everywhere we wanted to be in less than 10 minutes. They have an air conditioning unit upstairs and downstairs (which was essential) and a nice bathroom upstairs. The couple was in the front house and was so sweet. Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone going to Austin!"
2686649,20742238,2014-10-05,18221154,Alex,"The house was nice and modern. All the amenities needed, plus more. Mark and Kelly were nice and communicated with me directly. Overall nice spot to rent in the situated in the heart of Austin. "

2686649,22845618,2014-11-16,22801465,Rachel,Kelly and Mark were great hosts and their guest house was amazing! Very spacious Four of us stayed but there would have been plenty of room for 6. Beautiful place!
2686649,23303261,2014-11-28,10731014,Paula,"Note left out for guest, coffee maker well-stocked, nice bath products. Quiet location, good parking, lots of linens.  Bed was comfortable and sleeper sofa very adequate. Could use a little more opaque curtain upstairs for sleeping. House was clean.  tons of privacy.  Close to everything in great area. Loved the bottled water dispenser. Keurig coffee nice. Open closet rack upstairs works well. 
 Large coffee table was unstable to eat from, even with cushions reversed to wood squares.  No table and chairs.
Wish there was small kitchen area.  Washing coffee mugs, etc., in bathroom sink was a little wierd.  At least a larger counter space for coffee and putting things down would be very nice."
2686649,23596829,2014-12-06,21920442,Kim,Everything was great! We chose this rental for a wedding we were attending and all the festivities were very close to Kelly and Mark's house.  They were helpful in letting us know where everything was located and gave tips on how much time we would need to get there.  Kelly was extremely prompt on replying to any question we had.  We also chose this house because our dog is very old and can't be left alone so it worked out well for her too.  The only complaint I have is I didn't get to play with their dog as much as I would have liked! We had five people stay there and we had everything we needed.  I would definitely stay at this rental again.

2686649,23947289,2014-12-15,23040661,Aaron,"Kelly and Mark were great hosts. Everything from the Keurig coffeemaker, to the memory foam mattress, to the great smelling shampoos and soaps were all very great details! The location itself is minutes away from anything you may want to do or see in Austin which made for easy come and go travel. We would absolutely stay here again if and when we visit Austin in the future. 
Kelly was great to work with in regard to responding to our texts and taking our feedback at the end of the trip to make the place even better than it is already. Their dog is friendly and does not get in the way and as playful as well. Can't say enough good things about this place. Would recommend to anyone else wanting to stay in Austin and not stay at a hotel. This was much much much better!"
2686649,25831031,2015-01-26,26504897,Michael,"Kelly and Mark (and their golden retriever, Dixie!) were the best! The house was as beautiful as advertised, and they couldn't have been more accomodating. The neighborhood is quiet, but still very close to the city and tons of awesome places to eat.

I had to extend my trip and juggles my plans a couple different times, and Kelly and Mark were more than understanding and helpful with the process. I can't recommend this place enough!"
2686649,26236170,2015-02-07,10972016,Ivan,"Beautiful place in a centrally located area. Nearby park made the dogs super happy! Kelly and Mark are great hosts, very welcoming and excellent communicators. They make the reservation process seamless and very relaxing. Will definitely stay there again next time we are in Austin."
2686649,26269530,2015-02-08,10735103,Lindsay,"Kelly and Mark's home was the perfect place for us during an Austin ladies' weekend!  We had more than enough space for the 4 of us and we were able to unwind in the adorably decorated space.  

Checking in and out was incredibly easy.  There are lots of restaurants and food carts a decent walk and short drive away.  We were ambitious and walked all the way to the Capitol from their location.  

Kelly was incredibly sweet and seemed always available.  She answered all my questions promptly and gave us some great Austin recommendations.  I'd be happy to stay here again if I came back to town."
2686649,26634972,2015-02-16,3077541,Rich,"This is a great place to stay.  The hosts are very nice and accommodating and went out of their way to make us feel welcome.  The place has a fantastic upstairs master bedroom suite that exceeds expectations.  The downstairs is great for kids or college folks who are happy on very comfortable pullouts.  The neighborhood has all the great Austin charm, unusual shops, tex mex and microbreweries galore.  Kelly and Mark go out of their way.  We were running the marathon and they left energy bars and even supplied ibuprofen.  This is an example of why AirBnb is so much better than hotels.  Kelly also had superb recommendations for eats too.  Simply wonderful.
"
2686649,26950408,2015-02-22,27619337,Lara,"Kelly was very warm and welcoming throughout the whole process of booking and check-in. She left us a welcome note upon arrival and provides lots of information about Austin and the area in the house.  Directions and instructions for access were also spot on. 

The house itself is lovely with lots of special touches - cozy blankets, filtered hot and cold water, a memory foam mattress on the main bed and a heat lamp in the bathroom (especially loved this!). The decor is comfortable yet stylish and not at all fussy so you feel at home and yet like you are someplace special.   

Kelly is very responsive to requests (we needed an extra blanket and had some trouble with the TV) and great at communicating around needs and timing. Overall a great experience! "
2686649,27239343,2015-02-28,8743502,Julian,"Kelly and Mark's place was lovely. Places was nice, neat, and cozy. I will absolutely stay here again if they have it available. It's close to everything I needed to do. The pull out beds were amply large."
2686649,27437342,2015-03-04,21138893,Melinda,I stayed at Kelly and Mark's while I was in between houses in Austin and really enjoyed it. The guest house is very nicely furnished and stocked with everything you might need.  It's in a quiet neighborhood but very close to all the classic Austin hot spots. A perfect combo. They have all kinds of great recommendations framed on the walls and the little kitchenette is well stocked. The code key is really convenient. Nothing to pick up or drop off.  Kelly even offered to let my dog out while I was at work. Next time my family or friends need a place to stay I definitely recommend this adorable place.
2686649,27778247,2015-03-11,5775073,Elizabeth,"We loved our stay in Austin at Kelly and Mark's place! It was extremely well located to a lot of restaurants and shops.
The place was very comfortable and spacious. We loved being greeted by Dixie upon arrival, and having all the magazines and other Austin literature to look through around. It was such a welcoming environment for our first trip to Austin!
We would definitely recommend and we also would definitely like to stay here again!"
2686649,28124908,2015-03-18,26880638,Danielle,Had a wonderful time - an exceptional place to stay! Loved the little touches like fresh flowers and a welcome note. Appreciated the self serve coffee every morning and had such fun using the patio in the evenings. Kelly and Mark were great hosts. Would highly recommend staying here. 
2686649,28324992,2015-03-22,1903376,Jamie,Place was exactly as advertised. Everyone had a great time. Quiet neighborhood was great for getting away after a busy day wandering around Austin.
2686649,28730248,2015-03-29,2090381,Ren,"There are not enough words to describe how fabulous this house is. The location, details, space, decor and Kelly and Mark- the most gracious and welcoming hosts I have yet to encounter via airbnb. And, of course the fabulous welcome we received from Dixie the Dog. 

I absolutely would not hesitate to stay here again. It was a cross between feeling right at home and being at a spa. With ample space, Apple TV, mini-fridge, coffee, shampoo, hair dryer and all the wonderful suggestions on great places to shop and eat- I don't know why anyone would stay at a hotel. 

Kelly and Mark know austin like the back of their hands- and had so many wonderful suggestions. 

Thank you for hosting us for the weekend- it truly was the best experience! "
2686649,28853173,2015-03-30,30051045,Jenai,"This airbnb was exactly as stated in the advertisement. Dixie was there to greet us, and both Kelly and Mark were welcoming and a pleasure to meet. The place is decorated very nicely, comfortable, spacious and clean. They were also very accommodating to changing our reservation from 2 to 3 people. The neighborhood is nice quiet but close enough to everything. Just perfect. Thank you Kelly and Mark! "
2686649,29013142,2015-04-02,4000201,Lulu,"The hosts were very nice, checked in with me to see if I needed anything, and otherwise left me in complete peace.  The neighborhood was quiet, clean, and convenient.  The place was clean, easy to access, had everything I needed and more.  Very comfortable bed.
"
2686649,29505220,2015-04-08,10472107,Serra,Great location in South Austin! Close to many restaurants and shops and quick drive to downtown. Comfortable space with living area downstairs and bedroom upstairs. Considerate hosts. Thank you Kelly and Mark! And thank you for the sweet Easter basket!

2686649,29785703,2015-04-12,2038543,Brandon,"Kelly and Mark were great hosts,
and communication with them was very easy. There is plenty of street parking near their home and it is in a very convenient location.  Everything that we needed was provided within the home and there was plenty of space for our group. Their dog was very friendly and I would definitely stay here again."
2686649,30007446,2015-04-15,6642793,Claire,"Kelly and Mark's place is just as described - only better!  My husband and I felt at home the moment we arrived.  Greeted by their dog Dixie, the perfect hostess, we easily found our way to our overnight home.  It's a beautiful relaxing hideaway.  Really well appointed, lots of extras (loved the morning coffee and the clever notices of great places to eat and see).  My favorite part was the upstairs cozy and comfortable bedroom in the treetops.  Sorry we didn't meet our hosts, but we'll be back some day and hope to meet them then!"
2686649,30218345,2015-04-19,4278864,Jon,"Kelly and Mark were some of the best airbnb hosts I've had to date. The place is clean, comfortable, and they've really put a lot of thought into those extra little details of comfort. The location was great too. Walking distance to some cool locals spots and a cheap uber ride to everything else that Austin has to offer.

These guys will forever be my first choice on future trips back to this great city.

P.s. It's true, their dog is awesome."
2686649,30487269,2015-04-22,31377005,Kat,"I was totally blown away by my stay at Mark and Kelly's. They were great hosts, super friendly and generous, even shared some beers with me and my boyfriend on the back patio. The house is beautiful, really clean, quiet. Great place to hang out and relax. Kelly and Mark are so cool, gave us some great tips on where to go eat, yoga studios to check out and just general Austin area activities. Their house is located in such a central location. So close to downtown...Lamar and Congress but just far enough away that you still get that neighborhood feel and no traffic. This is now my favorite airbnb in Austin. Can't wait to go back! Oh and can't forget Dixie! She's just like her owners, super sweet!!"
2686649,30607645,2015-04-25,10972016,Ivan,"Best. Stay. Period. 

Everything is well coordinated and communication is awesome! Kelly even took the time, with our permission, to take out our pups before a storm came around! Just a fantastic experience! 

"
2686649,30836719,2015-04-27,7076536,Jonathan,"Kelly and Mark were great hosts!   They have created a beautiful, functional space for their guests to feel comfortable and at home. Their dinner and bar recommendations were spot on - we loved every place they recommended, especially Odd Duck!!!  And let's not forget about Dixie!   Such a beautiful dog. We had a great time and hope to be back again soon.  "
2686649,31149526,2015-05-02,18510940,Ann,"My daughter and I had a lovely stay. The property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The separate guesthouse is decorated very tastefully and efficiently. A lovely bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a very spacious living room downstairs with a separate half bath and mini kitchen.  Lots of lovely, homey touches. Kelly, their Dixie, the golden retriever are all precious.
Very clean, efficient and close to everything. Will definitely stay their again."
2686649,31249628,2015-05-03,31813905,John,"Really enjoyed this great place!

Thanks Kelly and Mark! "
2686649,31748955,2015-05-09,32597203,Patrick,"Kelly and Mark are awesome and the place is wonderful as well!  It is a coach house tucked behind their property.  The neighborhood is quiet and they have a park across the street that is great for walks/runs, tennis, and other recreation.  The place is very accessible to busy areas of town, located close to Lamar and Congress and busy parts of town.  The most memorable part of my stay was Kelly and Mark's customer service and attentiveness to making sure I had everything I needed, recommendations for local attractions, directions, etc.  This was my first time to Austin and all of this was very helpful.  Would highly recommend to anyone!"

2686649,32913439,2015-05-23,6804688,Maeghan,"Everything that you read on these reviews about Kelly and Mark is true. Thee place itself looks exactly like the photos, and is in a great location so close to so many great restaurants. They really go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cozy! I drove in from NY and came back to a surprise bottle of wine on ice and a sweet card for making such a long trip. It was one of the sweetest gestures from someone who only just met me and wanted me to feel at home. Kelly even brought me cortisone cream for a bug bite. She was the comforting, sweet host that you want to sit and drink wine with, but she respects your privacy. I also adored Dixie and she was an absolute doll to have around since I had been missing my dog at home. Just a really sweet family and an adorable spot in Austin. I highly recommend this place!"
2686649,35047021,2015-06-14,29819950,Sara,"I could not have asked for a better place or host! Stop your search and stay here!! Kelly and Mark are great hosts and have gone above and beyond in creating a comfortable and welcoming guest house. Your stay here will feel like you are at your best friend or family members house. The house is exactly how it looks in pictures, or maybe even better really. It is extremely clean and has everything you need. The bed is comfortable, the living room set up is great, and the TVs have a ton of channels including HD and Apple TV. The kitchenette area has everything you would need including a fridge, microwave, toaster oven, water dispenser, kuerig, and coffee, creamer, and sweetener is provided!!

Kelly and Mark were around if we needed anything and gave great recommendations for places to go, great food, and things to do. Also the location is great and close to everything you would want to do. 

I came here after a night at another AirBnB that was not good and I am so thankful I found this place! I can't tell you enough how great it is. We will definitely be back!!"
2686649,35354815,2015-06-17,16189180,Shan,"Kelly and Mark were the perfect hosts! They were very responsive and the guest house was incredibly charming. Great space! Attention to detail was exceptional. The place is just around the bend to the best food trucks and gourmet restaurants in Austin. You couldn't ask for a better location. Close enough to S. Congress and Rainey Street to enjoy the night scene, then retire back to their quite little neighborhood."
2686649,35439743,2015-06-18,13325531,Antoinette,"This place is amazing! I'm so happy I got to stay here, even if only for a night.

This was definitely one of the best places I have stayed at! I would recommend Kelly and Mark's place to anyone!  "
2686649,35610423,2015-06-20,33108791,Austin,Kelly and Mark were great host. They had everything set up perfectly when we arrived and we very friendly and helpful! They were very knowledgeable when it came to recommendations for local places to visit/eat. The home was perfect as well. It was quite and clean. The little yard was perfect for our dog to run around and play in. You can't beat the location! I think the longest we had to drive anywhere was 15 mins. Everything was SO close which was very nice! We loved our time here and would highly recommend. 
2686649,36484196,2015-06-28,12456753,Melissa,"Kelly and Mark's place was exactly how they described it! It was nice having a bedroom upstairs and the living room downstairs! Wish I would have been there longer than one night. I sent them a message before I booked to make sure they were ok with a lone Saturday booking, and Kelly got back to me within minutes. 
Cute area of town, really close to the original Austin food truck court, and a bunch of other fun places. Convenient to have a mini fridge, toaster oven, and coffee maker. "
2686649,37237988,2015-07-05,14689730,Maria,"Kelly and Mark were excellent hosts. They were extremely welcoming and provided lots of tips about where to go and what to do in Austin even before our arrival.

We wanted a place where our dogs could be welcome & comfortable and this location was as perfect as could be. The place was just as depicted and they provided personal little touches like the doggie biscuits for our dogs on arrival and doggie bags, which made us feel very welcome. It's proximity to Zilker Park and Barton Springs was just the icing on the cake.

Kelly also checked in on us via messaging from time to time to make sure we were comfortable, and we definitely appreciated that.
 
My sister and I really enjoyed our visit to Austin and our stay at Foodieville. We would stay here again. "
2686649,37629602,2015-07-08,37659443,Jessica,"STOP reading reviews!  Book this home.

Being and airbnb virgin, both my hubby and I crossed our fingers and ""pressed submit request""  We were pleasantly surprised by the entire process from acceptance to check-in.  Our host Kelly and Mark worked with us every step of the way and even left a hand written note welcoming us home. 

Just as described the house is bright and lovely.   So nice to come to a home versus a hotel after a long day... with plenty of separate space for a night owl and early riser couple.

Heart of Austin: Foodieville is a 8 minute car trip (40 minute walk) to many of Austin's most popular eateries.  The small fridge is perfect for breakfast items or healthy lunch fixins if you don't want to eat all meals out. 

This location is also 10-15 minutes from Zilker Park and McKinney Falls.

Book Now!!!"

The house is also located in a great area just blocks and minutes away from the best spots in Austin. The best part of our experience was how friendly and welcoming they are as hosts.

Thanks Mark and Kelly!"

They have put attention to every detail, from the doggie bags that they kindly provided us to the tasty coffee we were able to prepare every morning. Their place REALLY is dog friendly. Location is amazing since every nice place in Austin is not farther than a 10 min drive. We would definitely stay again at their place. 

Leonora and Alonso. "
2686649,40696553,2015-08-01,39967452,Jessica,"We loved staying at Kelly & Mark's guest home! They answered our very last minute request (we booked with only 24 hours notice) right away and Kelly provided the best recommendations of things to do while we stayed. Their home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Kelly came over and introduced herself and asked if we needed anything, shes very personable! She even let us have an early check in and late check out since there wasn't a reservation before or after us- very thoughtful! Their home is located in a great area- close to so many fun things to choose from. Highly recommend staying here! "

They were great with our dog, Argus, and accommodated him as well. They also gave a lot of great tips as to where to go if we were looking for places to drink or eat. It was like staying with a friend in a separate house. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely stay with them again!"
2686649,41711203,2015-08-08,3515180,Thuy Oanh,"We had the pleasure of meeting both Kelly and Mark. They were so sweet and welcoming! Oh! And their sweet dog, daisy, too! To start, we were greeted with a note and a treat for our dog, Tigger! Their home is lovely and comfortable. It could comfortably fit 6. The bedroom is furnished with a very comfortable bed! I did not want to get up! The house was very clean and orderly. They provide you with the essentials. They also provide you with the wifi credentials in cute frames throughout the house. Also in cute frames are recommendations of where to eat and what to do!  They have thoroughly thought of everything their guest could possibly need and provided it for us. We didn't have to ask for anything. Communication was great. They are quick to respond. My brother forgot his mifi at the house upon departure and they are so sweet to ups it to us. With all this being said, look no further! They are the absolute best! "

The space was exactly as described and pictured, and the extra amenities were a perfect touch.  Kelly was absolutely wonderful, and provided the perfect balance of being available if we needed anything but not intrusive in the least bit.  Set back in a cozy little neighborhood, it truly felt like a home away from home.  Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again in a heartbeat, thanks for making it a great experience!"
2686649,49524367,2015-10-04,44792667,Stephanie,"Terrific experience.  Kelly and Mark are incredibly gracious hosts and our experience felt more like staying with friends than airbnb proprietors.  The house itself was incredibly well-appointed, spacious and having the luxury of a downstairs half-bath made such a difference.

For people unfamiliar with Austin, this is a cool south Austin location with access to a ton of great restaurants, bars and venues (ABGB, Odd Duck, Uchi, and Black Sheep, to name just a few."

I think what made this place the best was the access to the front and side yards! My puppy had a ton of fun playing with their golden retriever and was able to go in and out with us throughout the day. It was also just blocks away from parks/bars/cafes. They were great hosts and we would absolutely stay there again when we go to Austin. "

It's a great value for four bedrooms.  Corley was also responsive and helpful throughout, and I would highly recommend her and this house.  If you don't have a car, the location would be a little far from the heart of the city.  However, it's a real Austin neighborhood with a kid's playground across the street.  "
3373305,15199810,2014-07-04,17338846,Rummy,"Corley's house was prefect for our family vacation! We were 9 people and we didn't feel the need for more space. The house was very clean and it looks just like the pictures in the profile! it is convenient location to access any activity around downtown, SoCo, Zilker park. Also we need to make 3 different trips within 5 hours to Austin airport and the house was close (10 mins away) to go back and forth. we didn't interact directly with Corley but she responded right away if we needed anything. I would come back to stay here again! I highly recommend this house for your Austin trips. "

It was a joy to work with Corley and we especially enjoyed her flexibility. She let us pop in early while she was still cleaning from her previous guests so that we could do a little surprise decorating before the bachelorette arrived. 

We were all very impressed with the cleanliness of the place, and it was stocked very well with anything you could need. Plenty of clean towels, dishes, etc.  This listing fit our needs perfectly and I will definitely look to use Corley  for any Austin stays in the future. I highly recommend both her and Sahara Casa!"

The house is very very clean and comfortable. The house also has everything you need for your stay. The coolest part was that Corley left a pile of pre-stamped post cards which you can use to write home. I thought this was a wonderful touch to the homey atmosphere. She also has cards against humanity which is a huge plus and makes for a fun experience if you've never played it before. 

The location is also very ideal.  It's close to lots of food and about a 10 minute drive to downtown. There's also a Cathedral of Junk about a mile away from the house which I highly recommend visiting. We felt very safe while we stayed there so we weren't worried at all.

If you travel to Austin with a big group you have to stay at Corley's!"
3373305,19124935,2014-09-07,8035649,Liliana,"This house is amazing! I rented it out for my bridal party. I was able to walk through and see the house with my guests. I would have loved to have stayed here but I was too busy getting married. My guests were extremely pleased and impressed with the amenities. From what I was told, the beds were comfortable and the food was an extra perk. Everyone was pleased with their room. I would rent this house again. Don't let the outside fool you, the inside is so nice. The house is across an elementary school. My guests felt very safe and it wasn't an issue.  I would love some decorating tips from the owner. "
3373305,19396301,2014-09-11,16859350,Cody,"Comfy little place, well stocked with random food items. Large beds in bedrooms, neighborhood is a little sketchy though- but nothing to worry about. Close to congress ave which is nice considering Austin's traffic. H-E-B is not far if you need to stock up on anything! "
3373305,19596031,2014-09-15,17634696,Davinne,"The Austin home was very clean and very welcoming.  It is very recently re-modeled!   Corley was great with communication and came to our rescue when we needed an iron!  The home is nicely decorated.  The beds and bedding were comfortable and in GREAT shape.  

There is a school directly across the street from the house.  It was a great place to allow our small kids to play in the evening.

The neighborhood was quiet and seemed very safe and easy to access from downtown Austin.  

We would stay again on future visits to Austin!"
3373305,19829557,2014-09-19,19863374,Jules,"Corley was awesome! She answered all of our questions before we booked and responded very quickly to them, event recommend a restaurant when we arrived at the house. The house is newly updated and clean, there was plenty of food items in the kitchen for us during our short stay there. The neighborhood is your typical Austin one, but overall we all felt safe there, and there is a school across the road. The beds were comfortable and it beat staying at any hotel. The house is about 15 minutes away from Downtown Austin which is nice should you want to escape the city after an event. 

We had a great stay there and hopefully will be able to return next year. "
3373305,19940577,2014-09-21,14891440,Karina,Had a wonderful experience at the Sahara casa. It was amazingly beautiful!!! And Corley was very helpful with guiding us around the city since we did not reside there. A+
3373305,20005603,2014-09-22,9311403,Faustine,"My stay at Sahara was amazing!! My best airbnb stay to date!! The layout and design made me wish I lived there! It was clean, organized and she was so great at answering any questions I had promptly.  The house is in the outer part of Austin, so it's peaceful and right across from a playground if you have kids. Corley made everything SO easy for us and I would definitely stay here again!"
3373305,20220033,2014-09-25,8868634,Ben,"This house was amazing. Really thoughtfully decorated and furnished. The Internet is fast, the beds are comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. One of the best experiences I have had with AirBNB ever. Can not recommend highly enough. "
3373305,20334024,2014-09-28,17287481,Megan,We loved staying at the Casa! The beds were comfy and loved having access to Netflix. We had a low key girls weekend and this house was perfect for it! Really close to Trudy's which is one of my favorite restaraunts. The kitchen is a dream! Upgraded from top to bottom! I go to Austin a lot it will be hard not to stay here every time! Corley is very responsive to emails and texts. Total recommend this house! 
3373305,20669589,2014-10-03,8234188,Adrien,"We stayed for a week long business trip and really couldn't ask for a better situation. Great location as the house is only 11 mins driving from downtown and there are several cool spots to see on the way. The house was clean, well kept, and everything worked perfectly. The host left us plenty of snacks, coffee, tea, and other things to make the stay all the more pleasant. For work purposes it was ideal and actually was very comfortable to work in. I travel a lot for work and this house actually made me feel like going to it at the end of the day not like a hotel. Cant wait to book it for our next trip to Austin. Thanks Corley for making this stay such a wonderful experience. I will reccomend you and your house to all of my colleagues and friends."
3373305,21196031,2014-10-13,17430926,Cj,Corley was very responsive and friendly even though she was on vacation. My friends and I loved the house and would definitely book the house again. It was unfortunate the weather wasn't as great but the hospitality was there. We used some of her tea and coffee and felt at home after our Austin outing. The rooms were spacious and accomdations were more than generous. Corley was a great host.
3373305,21489052,2014-10-18,22303168,Josh,"This is such a beautiful home! Corley was very nice and welcoming. I would recommend this to anyone, especially those with a group of 10. "
3373305,21526500,2014-10-19,21403071,Kate,"The house is ADORABLE!  Everything was clean and lots of cute little touches around the house.  There were 6 adults and 1 child in our group and we had plenty of space.  Just perfect.  The backyard is so cute, we even took some pictures of our 4 year old sitting in the tree and and in front of the ""Welcome Home"" sign.  Having wifi and netflix just made it feel like home as soon as we got there.  

As for location, as luck would have it, the girlfriend of one of our friends in Austin just happened to live down the street!  We went to 6th street to go out and it was a very short little drive.  Everything about it was just perfect.  If you go to Austin, we HIGHLY recommend staying at Corley's place - we kinda want to go live there all the time ourselves."
3373305,21765804,2014-10-23,10123852,Mariann,"Everything was exactly how it's pictured in the photos. The house was comfortable and cozy, but honestly, we didn't spend much time in there - Austin has too much fun to offer and we were always out and about."
3373305,21939880,2014-10-27,11099245,Christopher,"This place is fantastic!  The house is gorgeous with a comfortable amount of space.  I traveled with a group of 6 and there was plenty of room.  Corley was an excellent host.  There was food available and plenty of cookware to prepare some meals at the house.  The house is located just 15-20min away from anything you could want to do.  (That timeframe accounts for the Austin traffic that can be rough at times.)  If I were to return to Austin, I would not hesitate to stay at Corley's place again.  It was a wonderful experience!"
3373305,22226471,2014-11-02,2667255,Christina,Corley's place was perfect for our F1 weekend. The house was super clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone in our group. The pictures are 100% accurate. I would definitely stay here again.
3373305,22311705,2014-11-03,12272139,Pamela,"The house was very clean, nicely decorated and comfortable.  The neighborhood seemed quiet and safe.  Corley was a very responsive host.  She even responded to a late night text when we had a question.  I would definitely book this house again.  We were only there one night, but enjoyed our stay."
3373305,22421364,2014-11-05,1424321,Felicia,Corey was very welcoming and willing to work with me on a last minute reservation for my cousins from out of town. One of them is pregnant so I really wanted to have a comfortable sleeping set up for everyone. The rooms are quite big and the 4 queen beds were great. The photos are accurate. I'd be happy to take my family back here again.
3373305,22459540,2014-11-07,3191991,Andy,The Sahara Casa was a very comfortable house in a convenient location in Austin with plenty of amenities.  Our kids loved the swing in the backyard and our family was quite comfortable for a long weekend.  I would highly recommend staying at the Sahara Casa when in Austin.
3373305,22520186,2014-11-09,3191991,Andy,The Sahara Casa is an extremely comfortable house in Austin. Corley was easy to reach and all the amenities were great.  The location in South Austin is relatively close to downtown Austin and there is a convenient park right across the street (which is a great amenity if you have kids).  
3373305,22832135,2014-11-16,2755064,Stephanie,Everything was great at the house! Well stocked kitchen and the house was comfortable and had everything we needed. 
3373305,23013188,2014-11-20,4524669,Joel,Corley's place was great.  Nice and clean when we got there and a fully stocked kitchen that was nice for some late night snacks after working all day.  The place was perfectly as described.  I would certainly stay here again when I am in Austin.  Thanks!
3373305,23356067,2014-11-30,17995149,Jackie,"Sahara Casa was the perfect space for our family to spend the Thanksgiving weekend. The bedrooms are comfortable and loved the open living space. Corley is a great host-she brought extra cook wear/dishes for our holiday dinner, and was spot on in her recommendations for restaurants and shopping. "
3373305,23641918,2014-12-07,23585972,Juan Manuel,"We're definitely booking with Corley at the Sahara Casa next time we go to Austin! The house has nice spacing, we were 8 people staying at the house and we all felt so comfortable it was like we were at home! Corley made sure that we had everything we needed. It's a really nice place to stay!"
3373305,23821281,2014-12-11,13883316,Jason,"A great place to stay! Plenty of room, great amenities, located in a safe neighborhood close to anything you need in the Austin area. Corley was very helpful and made check-in and check-out extremely easy. I highly recommend this location and look forward to staying there again."
3373305,23890850,2014-12-14,19934074,Francis,"The gift of beer we were welcomed with immediately won me over. Corley was such a great hostess and she provided my group and I with so many supplies and food that was not even expected of her. This was my first AirBNB experience and it definitely set the bar high. Thank you, Corley, for the beautiful home!"
3373305,24012748,2014-12-16,10197248,James,Nice home in a nice location. Corley was friendly and responsive to our needs. Thanks!
3373305,24335204,2014-12-26,21406585,Aurora,"Corley was extremely welcoming and helpful - she even made a special holiday mix for us on Spotify (we were staying at the house over Christmas)! The house was very comfortable, and worked well for our group of 8-10, although it was a little bit tough to squeeze everyone in at mealtimes. Corley has done a wonderful job of decorating, and the house manages to feel homey and classy at the same time. The only downsides that I can think of - no washer or dryer, so we had to go to a laundromat, and the neighborhood seemed a little run down, although all of the neighbors were friendly. On the whole it was a great stay, and we will definitely consider renting the Casa again if our family visits. "
3373305,24639678,2015-01-01,18022935,Alison,"The house was great! We had a fantastic stay, and the location was perfect. Everything was taken care of for us. "
3373305,25274056,2015-01-11,4706898,Brandon,"The host was excellent-quick to respond, clear, helpful. 
The house was just as described and we had a good stay. 
The house is on the nicer side for the neighborhood, which isn't the greatest but is in a convenient area. 
I wish it wasn't raining so we could enjoy the awesome backyard.
Would stay there again."
3373305,25551567,2015-01-19,24955760,Donna,"The house was a great fit for the four of us visiting Austin for a few days. Plenty of towels and the beds were nice and comfy. The house was just as pictured in a older quiet area of South Austin, very close to everything. We took the Distillery and cavern tours and had some great food. "
3373305,25657202,2015-01-22,24695626,Timothy,"Corley was a great host.  Kind, communicative, easy-going.  The house was clean, comfortable, well cared for.  Both house and host had that easy-going South Austin vibe that made it a great place for our group to hang out for a few days."
3373305,25741487,2015-01-25,24187126,Erica,"The house was so adorable. Perfect size, just as described. I liked that snacks were already in the house and available to us, which cut back a lot on what we had to run out and buy at the grocery store. Very clean and well-taken care of. We loved it!"
3373305,26196249,2015-02-06,1514374,Jen,"Host and House were perfect.
Nice, Clean, Comfortable home. "

3373305,26772349,2015-02-19,20291611,Sachie,"Corley was a super host. She left fresh fruit and treats for us and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was as described and was comfortable for our group of eight (4 adults/4 kids). The beds were very comfy. The neighborhood is modest, which was fine with us.  "
3373305,26904014,2015-02-22,14478453,Leah,"The Sahara Casa was just perfect for our girl's weekend! Corley has thought of everything, and was so helpful with the planning.  The house is so stinking cute, the linens are really nice, and the outdoor space is a real bonus.  The house is not far from all that Austin has to offer.  I highly recommend staying here or at one of Corley's other properties.  "
3373305,27030592,2015-02-23,27888574,Joanne,Sahara Casa was a delight to stay in. The home was clean and prepared exactly as represented when I arrived. The neighorhood was quiet and the home tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable as well. I know we will enjoy it as a get away in the future. I especially appreciated Corley's quick responses when I had questions and her interest in making our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
3373305,27193159,2015-02-27,21081975,Carrie,"Our family booked 2 nights at Sahara Casa last minute and we couldn't have been happier with our stay there! Very well decorated and super organized and convenient. It's a great  ""home away from home!"" The host Corley is very accommodating and responsive. It was a treat to stay there and we hope to be back again when we visit Austin."
3373305,27242776,2015-03-01,3381161,Lyndsey,"The house was perfect and our stay was awesome!! Next time I'm in Austin, I will for sure be back!! Corley is a great host!! "
3373305,27579463,2015-03-08,26175663,Lauren,"The place was super cute and clean! We played Cards Against Humanity, listened to music, and had a great time before taking a cheap Lyft ride to dinner up on 3rd. There was 5 of us who stayed there and we each got our own bed and space. I would totally stay here again. "
3373305,27657394,2015-03-09,3066651,Cassandra,Had a short but sweet stay at Corley's beautiful home! Why a cozy retreat and beautiful space. The 6 of us had plenty of room and enjoyed her warm hospitality and yummy dinner suggestions! Everything was as described and communication and check in were a breeze. Definitely would recommend this fabulous house to others!  
3373305,27999397,2015-03-16,6494117,Regis,"Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home, Corley!  Our team really enjoyed their stay and your apt was perfectly located for them to attend SXSW. We hope to stay again soon! "
3373305,28315966,2015-03-22,4591082,Marissa,"I booked Corley's space for several editorial staff members at the company I work for. From what I heard, everything was great! Corley's communication was frequent and easy. Thanks!"
3373305,28701558,2015-03-29,12398389,Blair,"I rented the Sahara Casa for my best friend's bachelorette party last month because she wanted a large house in South Austin that would sleep a lot of people. The house decor was absolutely adorable and the size was perfect for us. Also, Corley was the most amazing host. The house was stocked with all organic food and household products for us to use and it seemed as if she thought of everything we would need before we did. I would 100% recommend this house to anyone visiting the city. "
3373305,28893238,2015-03-31,23506296,Erica,"Corley was so welcoming, accommodating to us and so patient with my many questions regarding booking. The home was exactly as described -- it was spotlessly clean and tidy as was the whole property.  Each of us (four women) had our own spacious room -- we had such a great nights rest. Her property is in a very quiet neighborhood & just a few minutes away from a bevy of great restaurants. We are so grateful to her & would certainly recommend her home to our friends and family. We hope to stay at Sahara Casa again! "
3373305,29053438,2015-04-03,26953268,Kaitlyn,"Corey's house was cute, clean and so very convenient. A quick drive to downtown and from the airport, it was a perfect home-base for family and friends as we gathered to celebrate a wedding! Absolutely recommend!"
3373305,29160436,2015-04-05,3067977,Liz,"Corley's house was a great home base for a group of friends traveling to Austin for a wedding. We piled seven ladies into the house and were perfectly content. The house was fully stocked - including all sorts of food stuffs from Whole Foods and lots of nice touches to make the house feel welcoming. Renting a car would be a must for this rental but the neighborhood is family friendly and the parking easy.

Communication with Corley was simple, warm, and accommodating. Our group traveled from four states and internationally so coordinating arrivals and check-in could have been hairy. Corley was easy to work with and totally understanding. We didn't meet in person but I felt well taken care of and would rent from her again!"
3373305,29742632,2015-04-12,28311319,Cara,"I booked this house for my boss who is a VP of a high profile company and his expectations are very high.  He went to Austin with three friends for the MotoGP and he was thrilled with the house.  Very clean, nice and centrally located to Congress Street where he wanted to be.  Corley was fantastic and answered all my questions I had before the trip.  

Thank you for everything, will def try and book this house again next year when they return.  "
3373305,30000964,2015-04-15,30809604,John,The house and the entire experience were awesome. Top job and a great deal. This was my first experience with airbnb and I would highly recommend it to anyone after this wonderful house and host!
3373305,30186241,2015-04-19,5968364,Shannon,"House was super nice, a great place for our group to chill out. Great cookout amenities really made our stay. Pretty strict guidelines but honestly they're the reason the house is the nice, quiet place that it is. Thanks a lot."
3373305,30573282,2015-04-24,30860962,Molly,Corey's place was awesome. It was super comfortable and easy for the weekend. Our family loves it. I highly recommend her place!
3373305,30710742,2015-04-26,30663513,Michael,Amazing first-time airbnb experience! Corley really made it a seemless process for our stay. We had 10 people and everyone slept comfortably. Rooms were roomy and the house was kept in great condition. Only complaint was that we didn't stay longer. Will rent again in the future!
3373305,30763193,2015-04-27,2135660,Niki,"Sahara house is cute, quaint and comfortable. Corley was a great host and has thought of everything down to the details in the house. There are even postcards to send home. We really enjoyed our experience and would consider staying here again. "

The beds were comfy and the ac worked well. It's nicely furnished with all the essentials: plush towels, utensils, cookware, shampoo/conditioner. Overall, it was an easy check-in and check-out. Great value. "
3373305,31899821,2015-05-11,29999089,Vincenzo,Everything was just-right with our stay! The backyard was great for hanging out!

3373305,32350411,2015-05-17,30561239,Tanya,"Rented for a bachelorette in Austin, this house was perfect for our needs!! Very chic and beautifully decorated as well as clean, and I was shocked at how many rooms there were that were comfortable (no one got a bad one so deciding wasn't hard!) The kitchen was the perfect size, and the large outdoor picnic area was fun for us to enjoy for home cooked brunch, etc. We mostly used Lyft and Uber, and rides were about $10 one way to downtown, and when we did drive we got everywhere we wanted in about 10-20 min. Also Corley is wonderful! She was very helpful with any questions we had and gave us great suggestions. This house is great, we loved it! "
3373305,32560667,2015-05-19,31630807,Santha,The Casa was comfortable for our 6 guests. It is nice and beautifully kept. Corley was very responsive to queries and requests. 
3373305,33062198,2015-05-25,24680780,Margaret,Casa Sahara was a cozy gathering spot for 6 family members attending an event in Austin. The house was a comfortable space for entertaining a group. The kitchen was well-stocked. Corley stayed in touch before and throughout our visit. The location was convenient for visiting the South Congress shopping district and the many trips we made to the airport to pick-up arriving and departing family members.
3373305,33395151,2015-05-27,32988786,Anna,"This was my first time using Airbnb.  Everything was just as described. Loved the house, location was great.  Corley was quick to respond to any questions we had.  Would definitely stay again. Thank you so much!!!!"

The place was amazing, clean, wonderfully decorated! For my first time using AirBnB, it definitely set the bar high!! Thanks so much for a great place Corley! I hope to be back "
3373305,33672111,2015-05-31,30612473,Kembra,"We stayed at the Sahara Casa with 7 girls for a bachelorette weekend. Corley was a wonderful host and was easy to communicate with whenever we had a question. We were worried about flooding after lots of rainfall in the area but she reached out before our trip to let us know that the house and neighborhood were safe and dry. The house was beautiful and very fun and comfortable. Everyone was happy with their beds, the cleanliness, and the amenities provided for us. Since we are familiar with the Austin area, we didn't need much help with finding things to do, but every time we did text Corley for something, her response was prompt and sweet. The uber to 6th street was 30$ one way due to surge pricing, but it only took about 10 minutes. Corley also gave us a code for a free lyft for first time users which really came in handy! Overall great experience, and I will definitely recommend Corley to friends who are looking to stay in Austin. "
3373305,34020975,2015-06-03,33752520,Tammy,Great home!! Great host!! Everything was great about this place. Have a park right across the home which was a ++.

Corley made us feel very welcome, the place was nice and clean and she had a gift basket and note waiting for us! Thanks for making our stay so convenient!"
3373305,34946064,2015-06-14,2409247,Emily,"Eight of us had a great stay at Corley's place. She was very responsive to messages and we felt very welcome and at home during our stay.

Corley came by restock the fridge on our first day. One of the lights blew out when I turned it on, and the internet was down for the first few hours of our stay, and Corley fixed all of that very quickly. She stayed to chat with us and was very welcoming and nice.

The size and location of the home was great for all 8 of us. The neighborhood was quiet. I loved the assortment of Whole Foods products in her home. Her home is beautifully decorated, very clean, and had enough communal space for 8 of us to hang out."
3373305,35552559,2015-06-20,31234993,Kristin,This was our first Air Bnb experience! I wasn't completely sure what to expect but other family members of mine love using the site. I'm happy to say we had a great experience. Corley was a great host and the home was clean. The house was close to both the airport and grocery store which made our travels with young kids very easy. The neighborhood was very quiet and the only noise that woke us up was the sound of the birds! 
3373305,35883314,2015-06-22,36009221,Alejandro,"Nice house in a quiet neighborhood in Austin. The house was very nice and spacious, we were very comfortable staying there."
3373305,36161060,2015-06-25,29239141,Nicole,"We were definitely pleased when we walked through the door. The house is really cute, nicely decorated and Clean! We were very comfortable there. Can't wait to bring family when they come to visit from Arizona and stay here again. Thank you for the great accommodations and for the last minute reservation! "
3373305,36251040,2015-06-26,10201091,Laura,"This was our first stay in an AirBNB, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Corley's place was cute, comfortable, cozy, and clean! My daughter loved that there was an array of ice cream in the freezer to choose from!"
3373305,36382770,2015-06-28,31237942,Hannah,"Corley was a wonderful host! Unfortunately we never got to meet her, but all of our communication with her was helpful and nice! The neighborhood was great and the description of the house is EXACTLY how it really is. We absolutely loved staying in the Sahara Casa. The house was so neatly decorated and there was so much space. The refrigerator had quite a few groceries all of which Corley lets you have/use with no additional charge. If I ever need an airbnb in Austin again I plan on booking with Corley!"
3373305,37050767,2015-07-04,6139147,Melissa,We had a great time at Sahara Casa. It was clean and comfortable and perfect for a family getaway.
3373305,37365454,2015-07-06,31629523,Tam,My family and I took a small trip to Austin and decided to rent this place. The loved how cute and welcoming the place was! There was plenty of room for a family to stay comfortably and the location was convenient to all Austin hot spots.  Corley provided an affordable stay within a cozy setting. She was very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. I would definitely have her host future trips. 
3373305,37758073,2015-07-10,34484883,Bonnie,"We had a fantastic time.  Every detail was thought of in advance and attended to, with attention paid to style and comfort.  Thank you, Corley, for a wonderful experience.
"
3373305,37953609,2015-07-12,30074687,Angela,"I was able to enjoy this weekend at the amazing Sahara Casa for my 22nd birthday and it was the most adorable house I've seen! It was so spacious, clean, and had very cute home decor! Corley was such an amazing hostess and made us feel at home and provided some delicious organic foods/beverages and much more! I will definitely be recommending Sahara Casa to my friends and family and if I come to Austin again, I will definitely stay there!☺️ Thank you Corley!!"
3373305,38333487,2015-07-14,22957847,Brandon,My family loved our stay at Sahara Casa! We felt right at home. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished and the back yard great for a BBQ! The location was close to down town and right next to a park. There couldn't have been a better place for my family to stay as we celebrated my bother-in-law's wedding. 
3373305,38518436,2015-07-16,35599157,Disha,It was exactly how it was advertised - we absolutely loved the place and will stay again here. Highly recommended for people with kids as there is a playarea just across- oh and we adults also enjoyed the see saw in backyard. 
3373305,38828799,2015-07-19,31291624,Lauren,Loved staying in Corley's Sahara casa.  Great spot for a 10 girl bachelorette party. Everything was so nice when we arrived and Corley was so helpful and communicative throughout the stay anytime we had any questions!  The house was in a great location -- just a short uber ride to downtown and grocery stores and great coffee within 10 minutes as well! 
3373305,39777370,2015-07-26,15943316,Albert,"Check-in was easy, the house was great. We had quite a bit of space, the backyard was huge and perfect for grilling. Would definitely recommend staying here."
3373305,40003987,2015-07-27,33789593,Raymond,This was our first time using this app so at first we were a bit lost on how it worked exactly but Corley did an exceptional  job at not only answering the questions we had but also anticipating helped tips! She was a great host!
3373305,40110441,2015-07-28,31105406,Amanda,"Corley was an amazing host.  Her home was beautful and relaxing.  We came to Austin for an educators conference.  The night we arrived I asked Corley for dinner recommendations, she gave us plenty of options.  We paved them in a hat and drew St. Phillp. It was amazing! Such a great experience.  We will for sure have a girls weekend back to Corley's in Austin after school starts!"
3373305,40277309,2015-07-29,39050587,Cole,Corley was great! Place was great! Everything was great!
3373305,41071717,2015-08-04,8831139,Felipe,Corley was a gracious host. The house was well outfitted for our family the weekend of our son's wedding. We highly recommend both out host and this house!
3373305,41273901,2015-08-05,39739956,Andrew,"Sahara Casa (and Corley) were the best!  The house was amazing.  The furnishings and decorations were beautiful, the house was spotless and clean, and the beds were super comfortable.  Corley was even better, she responded very promptly to my questions and was very hospitable and accommodating.  This was my first time using AirBnB, and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience.  I would highly recommend Sahara Casa to anyone, and I hope I get to stay there again myself.  "
3373305,42445526,2015-08-13,38270049,Katherine,Wonderful stay at the Sahara Casa. The description on the home was very accurate. My friends and I loved it! 
3373305,43785180,2015-08-22,4963057,Serena,Host was prompt in all communications.  House worked great for our family...tidy and nicely laid out 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom is very functional.   Access to South Austin was perfect for us dropping our son at St. Edwards.  Property has two perfectly placed trees that shaded car and the rear outside area throughout day and made our many trips to and fro much more pleasant even in the hottest part of day.  Evenings were quite lovely even following 100 degree days. 
3373305,44758958,2015-08-29,32602318,Jenny,It was a terrific stay. I appreciate Corley's prompt responses to any questions. The house was clean and well equipped for our group of 6. Very nice rental. 
3373305,45178355,2015-08-31,6704778,Bethany,"We really enjoyed staying at Corley's place! It was such a cute and comfortable home. She was very hospitable and full of knowledge about the city. When we come back to Austin, we would love to stay here again!!"
3373305,45402654,2015-09-02,35588061,Ashish,Great home excellent for small family.  
3373305,45924802,2015-09-07,30810832,Greg,"Everything about this airbnb was fantastic! Corley was a great host, and she gave us plenty of restaurant/bar suggestions to check out while in Austin. The house was fantastic; very clean and spacious, and not too far from downtown. I'd love to come back to Austin and stay in this airbnb again!"
3373305,46883265,2015-09-14,37567699,Rufio,"I could not have dreamed of a better first experience with AirBNB! I booked this house with 11 (yes, 11!) people in the reservation for a birthday weekend getaway. The house is EXACTLY as it appears in pictures and had more than enough room to accomodate us all. We had booked a rental van to use during the day but during our gallavanting at night we took advantage of the city life only being a 10-15 minute uber/lyft away! This includes 'Dirty 6th' as well as 'Rainey St.' Being just the right distance outside of the city, the house was very quiet at night and felt safe as it is directly across an elementary school. Corley was prompt with all questions I had prior to the trip and my group even took her up on some suggestions. A great sidenote - Radio Bar is a 24hr coffeehouse/bar/outdoor taqueria that is only an 8 min drive from the house. That place definitely saved us from nights where we enjoyed a bit too much of Austin revelry. Corley you are fantastic and I would gladly book with you again! Cheers!"
3373305,48495176,2015-09-27,13736790,Ashli,"We had a wonderful experience at our recent weekend stay at this home.  Corley was very accommodating.  We came to town early and she made the home accessible to us before the three o'clock check-in.  The place is very cute and was perfect for our group of 8.  She also provided coffee and a small amount of breakfast.  We were trying out restaurants while we were here so we didn't get to take advantage of it, but it would be great for those that want to just hang at the house and eat.  We can't wait for our next trip and would definitely stay here again!"
3373305,49038136,2015-09-30,5760,Donna,"Corley made us feel extremely welcome. She provided recommendations for food, attractions, and is a true supporter of her community as evidenced by the maps and information she left out for us. Her place is beautiful - upgraded, clean, cozy. She was proactive in introducing us to her friend who would be overseeing the home while she was on travel. Her friend was also very friendly and responsive. Neighborhood was nice and very conveniently located to many of the things we wanted to see and do. Would definitely stay with Corley again!"
3373305,49421442,2015-10-04,7797309,Jesus,"We went to Austin for the ACL music festival and needed a place to accommodate a large group. Corley's house was the perfect place for us! The house was very clean and very conveniently located close to the airport. While I didn't get a chance to meet Corley personally, she was very responsive and made it easy to reach her or her co-host if we had issues. In fact they were really accommodating when we forgot some stuff after we checked out and arranged a place for us to pick it up. I highly recommend the Sahara casa to anyone looking for a place in Austin. "
3373305,49956240,2015-10-07,17377196,Pete,Needed to house some of the boys while in town for ACL . The house was very neat and CLEAN . Internet worked great . Everyone had a very relaxing stay and I would book again should the need arise . Corley was very helpful even opening up an extra day on the tail of our stay when our plans changed .
3373305,50427675,2015-10-12,32387213,Lucy,Beautiful place!  Perfect for a large group and close enough to everything.
3373305,51524757,2015-10-21,35995069,Chris,"We were so happy to stay at Sahara Casa for a week during our daughter's wedding!  It was comfortable, quiet, and charming.  We spent mornings out on the patio with our coffee and tea before our busy days getting ready for the wedding.  We appreciated the photos by Corley and her grandfather that decorated the house.  Corley was a gracious host, the place was wonderful, and it made our stay in Austin worry-free and fun!"
3373305,51694817,2015-10-24,13028638,Santiago,"Es una casa muy agradable y cómoda, el un vecindario agradable y tranquilo, es cerca de almacenes como HEB, Walmart y otros, el aeropuerto queda a unos 10 minutos en carro.
En general una muy buena experiencia. "
3373305,51879602,2015-10-25,2667255,Christina,"Corley was a fantastic host as always! This year it was pouring rain while we were in Austin and she was very fast at replying to our requests and super accommodating when one of our party got sick and needed to stay at the house longer than we anticipated. The house is beautiful, has everything you need and is in a nice quiet neighborhood close enough to downtown to be able to enjoy yourself and then sleep peacefully through the night. The perfect place to stay in Austin!"
5718552,29706370,2015-04-11,6153720,Spencer,"Great spot tucked away in Barton hills area. Very clean place with tall ceilings, great patio, quiet with a modern/rustic industrial feel. Glen was a great host and responded very quickly to all questions upon booking. Would highly recommend. Thanks! "
5718552,42069225,2015-08-10,15978512,Katie,Glen has a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood that wasn't too far from downtown Austin and blocks from an amazing spring fed pool. The house was clean and comfortable and Glen is super nice and quick to answer any questions. I would definitely stay at 2311 again!
5718552,42966833,2015-08-16,40795905,Toni,"Wonderful neighborhood and short walk to Barton Springs and Zilker Park.  Two great bedrooms and the entire place is very comfortable, quiet, and clean.  Beautiful outdoor space.  I will absolutely stay here again the next time I visit Austin.  "
5718552,43574794,2015-08-20,27619153,Josue,"Glen's a super friendly guy, and his place is a perfect place to stay. It's conveniently located in a beautiful setting, and very close to all the great attractions Austin has to offer. In a lovely, quiet neighborhood, it has all the amenities, and very stylish decor. Will book again in the future."
5718552,44016551,2015-08-23,21622331,Cindy And Gus,"Had a fantastic time at this hide-away home! This treehouse like place is beautiful, and very artistic. Glen was very charming and very considerate during our stay(he even helped organize a birthday surprise for us!) as well as informed us on local art events! Excited to come back and stay again!"
5718552,46029718,2015-09-07,41806982,Christine,"This home is nestled on an amazingly serene and beautiful hill surrounded by trees. Inside is a well-appointed modernized oasis with expansive windows to the private deck and courtyard, two bedrooms with large (queen, I think?), comfortable beds and a bathroom with white subway tile, stained concrete floors, plush towels, and what appeared to be local toiletries. The kitchen includes everything you'll need, TV with Netflix and Amazon prime and several board games. But none of this matters because you'll love exploring Zilker Park, Barton Springs and Umlauf museum and the nearby restaurants (we loved Shady Grove and Austin Java) to distract you. Glen is a gracious host, always willing to give advice. Pro tip: pull into the parking nook to left of his white truck in the driveway so he can get out. He will secretly thank you for it! Highly recommend. We will be back!"
5718552,48647107,2015-09-27,18683630,Paul,"Glen was a fantastic host and very responsive to any of my questions or concerns.  Takes pride in his well designed and comfortable modern home that appeared to be only used for AirBnB guests.  Hotel style amenities, soaps, linens, chilled bottles of water in a clean fridge, etc. Glen is a true Austin native with a wealth of local info he's willing to share if asked.  Neighborhood was very quiet and centrally located with beautiful, tree-lined streets.  Will definitely come back and will make this my Austin spot from here on out.  Thanks Glen!"
5718552,49617743,2015-10-05,36752987,Blake,"Glen and his beautiful home were just what we were looking for when coming in for the ACL Music Festival.  Glen was a great host and responsive to any of our questions. Glen provided soaps, linens (and even offered to do the linen laundry after our first day in town!), and bottles of water for us when we arrived. He even delivered a fresh set of paper towels for us while we were away which he certainly did not have to do.  The design and layout are fantastic.  His pictures truly reflect the space. The house is private and secluded but close enough to Austin's best attractions by foot or Uber.  We will definitely be back.  Great house, great host, thanks Glen!"
5718552,51338180,2015-10-19,42934927,Chad,"Glen's place was totally Austin!!! Nestled in an ideal location; minutes from South Lamar, South Congress, Barton Springs and all that downtown Austin has to offer. Easy access for Uber drivers so getting around never required a long wait. 
The property itself was perfect for our 6 day stay. Cozy quiet 2 bedroom with a full kitchen and nice size bathroom. The charming outdoor space was great after a long day walking the capital to unwind with a cold beverage. Glen was super attentive and available while respecting our privacy.   Would stay here again. "
5718552,52008455,2015-10-25,46971460,Bill,Glen was an awesome host. Even redecorated for F1 for my son. The place is comfortable with cool interior. A great size for a family of four. Great outdoor space makes you feel like your in a treehouse. We will definitely be back again and again!
8672344,50401502,2015-10-11,33118866,Andrew,"Great experience with a one-of-a-kind host.  He went out of his way to make my visit special.  He knows Austin inside out, and has no shortage of energy and imagination.  He is an artist and a southern gentleman!  "
57187,162766,2011-01-02,272991,Kathre,"Lois was so acommodating and she was very warm and welcoming. Her location is great, the space is truly magical, and the energy is relaxing. I highly recommend this space."
57187,176492,2011-01-31,94373,Amy,"Had a brilliant stay at this fun little place!  It was perfect for my needs - a place to sleep and a calm place to relax in after a very stressful day in Austin.  Lois was helpful and a lovely hostess.  Between the artwork around the property, the the plethora of pillows and blankets, and the calmly energetic vibe of the place, I would definitely recommend this little gem.  

Thanks to its proximity to S. Lamar, there are tons of things to do in the area and everything felt close by.  I know I will definitely try to stay there again the next time I'm in town.  "
57187,179807,2011-02-08,336136,Michael,"Lois was a great hostess, and her place is a true Austin original.  The location is unbeatable, and having a colorful, private cottage in the Zilker neighborhood to come home to each night was wonderful.  If you need a ""new austin"" hipster spot with an ipod port you can rent a room on Congress for $300/night.  If you're looking for a unique experience that is more in line with the Austin that I grew up with, try staying with Lois.

cheers,
Michael
(Austin Native)"
57187,182367,2011-02-14,277529,Elizabeth,"We had a great stay at Lois's place! It's so gorgeous with all the colors and I'm absolutely in love with the Barber Mobile and the chandelier that hangs about the swing. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. My only regret was that I never had the pleasure of meeting Lois. Our schedules (and my sleep) would not allow it.
If you're looking for a no frills but a bright and comfortable place to sleep for a night or two, this is the place. Oh, great location too. You could walk to one of the Alamo Draft House theaters from here."
57187,186717,2011-02-22,377621,Rachel,This place was absolutely adorable and added just the right amount of charm to our Austin adventure.  Lois was delightful.  A world of help and knowledge about her most loved city!  You coudn't ask for a better host!!
57187,201208,2011-03-17,349180,Carl,"Lois' place was a perfect spot for our group during our attendance of SXSW Interactive 2011. The location is conveniently located near a city bus and film shuttle pickup, and contains all the basics you need - bathroom, shower, electricity, and a place to sleep. We stayed in a party of 3 - one couple and one single - and fit perfectly on the floor and in the loft. Cozy little space and an excellent sample of what ""Keep Austin Weird"" is all about. Thanks Lois!"
57187,204564,2011-03-21,72084,Jamil,"Lois' cute little bungalow was a clean, tranquil retreat from the bustle of SXSW. I would definitely stay here again."
57187,210263,2011-03-27,33865,James,"What a pleasant and kitchy place to stay! If you're planning a trip to Austin, you'll be pleased with this place. It's definitely a piece of the ""Keeping Austin Wierd"" puzzle, and offers privacy, comfort and calm. I didn't get to meet Lois, but everything was ready and in order and I would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Lois!"
57187,211505,2011-03-28,431522,Jane,"This was just what I needed. I was sunburned, tired, and getting cranky, but I got to spend the evening reading and relaxing here. It is a fun place to explore. I really like the windchimes/mobile made from silverware and a teapot. All the colors are cheerful and there are tons of pillows and bedding available to make you comfortable. The loft was cool! I sat up there for a little bit but decided not to sleep there since moving around was a little painful with the sunburn. It is peaceful, private, but still fun!"
57187,217315,2011-04-04,454859,Caroline,The place was absolutely amazing.  Everything from her artwork and the colors to the yard and design were beautiful and peaceful.  It was a great place to get away from the city while still being able to drive downtown in 10 minutes.  Lois was a great host and we will def be staying with her again the next time we're in Austin hopefully.  
57187,230246,2011-04-18,420618,Sarah,"We had a fabulous time chez Lois.  Very quirky,clean and comfortable.  Lois was very helpful with advice about Austin.  Would definitely stay again!"
57187,241146,2011-04-26,486594,Laura,"Lois Goodman's space was very colorful, very private. I loved it!  The location was serene and a 10 minute walk to Lamar or Barton Springs (coffee, etc).  I've been to Austin several times, but found some new spots from her recommendations! "
57187,256534,2011-05-09,458860,Beau,"What a calm and peaceful place to call home for a weekend in Austin.  Beautiful little living space and just thrilled to have found it!  Thank you for everything, Lois!"
57187,269820,2011-05-18,556823,Quyen,"Even before we stayed, we had a few questions and Lois answered our questions quickly.  Awesome communication!  Lois' place is very colorful, peaceful, and spiritual.  The neighborhood is very quiet and safe.  There is amazing art pieces around and there is so much detail in the space.  The instructions were clear and Lois offered to answer any questions that we may have whether it is about Austin, where to eat, and what to do.  Finding the house was very easy because you can't miss the mermaid or Lois' awesome car.  There are plenty of pillows to use as well as plenty of blankets.  The rental includes towels and Lois does include some toiletries but we used our own.  We found that by staying here we were very close to downtown and many amazing restaurants.  There is so much to do with the park near by and all that Austin has to offer.  Thank you so much Lois for the the fantastic hospitality!"
57187,271991,2011-05-20,500559,Ceanne,"Lois was a wonderful host! She made GREAT restaurant recommendations, too! Her place itself was absolutely amazing. While the place looks exactly as  it looks in photos, it is even BETTER in person. The colors and set up made it a very unique, harmonious, and comforting stay. Wish we had more time to spend in Austin and to get to know Lois more. This place is highly recommended. I would stay here again if I'm ever in the area. "
57187,279110,2011-05-24,549093,Keith,"The pics and reviews accurately describe the property & experience. Colorful, funky and fun all perfectly work for this location. Lois is so friendly and eager to ensure that your stay is pleasurable, and she totally respects ""your space""."
57187,300409,2011-06-06,58473,Matthew,"Lois's place is fantastic! I am a weird one myself so I loved the colorful location and all of the art work in and around her house. 

She was very accommodating to our needs and left us to our own devices. The space is huge and comfortable, I definitely would recommend this to my friends. "
57187,307091,2011-06-10,639063,Keely,"This space was a haven of creativity and imagination in the middle of a great city! My friends and I stayed one night in order to see the band Beirut in concert, and we enjoyed our accommodations nearly as much as the show! Lois was very friendly and made us feel right at home. It's private and really quite beautiful. I would definitely recommend this place."
57187,312585,2011-06-13,141152,Ron,"Nice little quirky flat in a wonderful location, walking distance to Flipnotics Coffee, Alamo Draft House, and Shady Grove, as well as Zilker Park and the River.  Lois is easy to deal with.  Be aware that you sleep on futons on the floor, which was fine for us.  Also, this is not self-catering, as there are no kitchen facilities, not even microwave.  But good price for a wonderful location with a cozy loft feel."
57187,332005,2011-06-24,227247,Jonathan,"Had a great stay at Zilker Park. Lois' place is exactly as described, our only regret was that she was under the weather while we were there, and we didn't have a chance to get to know he as well as we'd have liked. This was a great place with good energy, and super cozy during the (rare) torrential downpour for one of the nights we were there. Thanks Lois -- great hosting!"
57187,355738,2011-07-05,124996,Valerie,"The space is described perfectly. It was incredibly relaxing and peaceful. 
The location is perfect to discover Austin and I would love to stay again.
"
57187,396045,2011-07-25,802259,Anand,Accommodating host.  Respectful and easy to work with and communicate with.   Property is as described. 
57187,409887,2011-07-31,520906,Heather,"We had a wonderful time at Lois's guesthouse. The location was great. We were close to downtown, but still able to enjoy the Austin local spots. We hope to come back and stay again."
57187,430307,2011-08-08,906063,Matt,I stayed with three friends at Lois's place this weekend.  We had a great stay.  The loft was both unique as well as comfortable and clean.  Staying at the loft really added to my Austin experience.  There are few other cities in the world where you will find a place to stay like this one!
57187,456145,2011-08-18,913576,Markus,"Lois has a funky place giving off mellow, laid-back vibes, and she is a nice host! Make sure you get a look at her car when you visit, she really is keeping Austin weird. "
57187,484862,2011-08-29,945855,Misty,"This space was just what we needed: peaceful, clean, quiet, private, and comfortable! I was able to meditate and watch birds in the back yard. Lois is a fun, laid-back, informative, and gracious hostess. 

There were PILES of pillows and plenty of sheets and towels. The four of us slept comfortably on the three non-framed futon mattresses. I took the loft as the most agile of the bunch. My friends were a little scared of the steep stairs with offset steps because of their ankle and knee issues. 

The lack of kitchen amenities was not a problem because I'm a fan of Flipnotics Coffeehouse, which is just down the street. I would definitely stay here again. It's the perfect peaceful crash pad, and it's close to everything!"
57187,504788,2011-09-05,1097403,Kasia,Very cozy and comfortable place. Futons were actually quite comfortable. Location was great. 
57187,525325,2011-09-12,1094261,Katie,Unique and fun decor.  Clean and comfortable. Conveniently located near downtown and UT. Lois was helpful and kind. 
57187,572250,2011-09-26,1187947,Brian,"This was a beautiful, quiet, and comfortable space in a great part of town.  "
57187,592097,2011-10-03,951794,Abe,Thanks Lois! We really had a lot of fun staying at your place. The title describes it perfectly. It was nice to feel integrated into the city and more like a local than I have on my other trips to Austin. Thank you! I would definitely recommend it.
57187,622123,2011-10-11,1243771,Neill,"Fantastic property and awesome host!  I contacted Lois at the last minute and she happily accommodated me.  The place itself is unique,peaceful and private.  Great neighborhood right next to Downtown Austin.  I would recommend to anyone staying in the area."
57187,639066,2011-10-17,972694,Lisa,"Lois is a great host and her place is unique, quiet, and close to many amenities.  This was my second stay and I hope to come back again."
57187,658743,2011-10-24,1094261,Katie,Love the coziness!    
57187,681603,2011-11-01,1271884,Nicole,"Had a great time. Private and cozy. Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks, Lois!"
57187,694640,2011-11-05,1360202,Terri,"I lloved Lois's place.  Vibrant colors, clear instructions, a very welcoming vibe.  The location is great- "" close enough but not too close.""  You are in a quiet, charming neighborhood but have quick access to Lamar."
57187,719371,2011-11-14,1381722,Chelsea,"I loved this place! So cozy and sweet, and a great location to boot. Lois was a delight! She helped me find all kinds of fun things to do, and if it weren't for her recommendation, I would have never found the Gospel Brunch that was one of the highlights of my trip. When in Austin next, I'll definitely be back here! "
57187,733688,2011-11-21,1257811,Meagan,"Austin was Fantastic. Lois's Peaceful Haven was the perfect place to stay. it was everything it says it is, fun, funky, and peaceful. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone. "
57187,744176,2011-11-26,1183167,Lisa,"The Zilker Park B & B is a beautiful spot to spend a couple of days relaxing whilst you explore Austin. Youth and flexibility would be an advantage as all seating is on the ground. The futon beds were comfortable and the many cushions and pillows, fun.
As Lois stated the shower is petite - be prepared!
Overall though it is good value for money in a fascinating part of Austin within a peaceful neighbourhood."
57187,755111,2011-11-29,1387448,Peter,"Lisa and I enjoyed our stay with Lois very much. Austin is a very enjoyable city to spend a few days and Lois' home fits the theme of friendly, quirky and peaceful. The space is colourful, bright and quiet, in a pleasant neighbourhood, yet only five minutes' drive from downtown.

The space is separate from the main house, ensuring plenty of privacy, with its own small but very comfortable and clean bathroom. They were chilly mornings when we were there but there was plenty of bedding and heating to ensure the space was cosy.

Lois responded to our last minute request for accommodation immediately, so we had no concerns about not having a place to stay for the night.

Lois is generous with information about Austin, a city she loves very much. Her recommendations about places to eat and visit were top-notch and we would happily stay with her again."
57187,789067,2011-12-16,1504355,Scott,"Cool pad! 
Lois has a really nice place and was gracious & helpful.  Great location, quiet neighborhood and visually entertaining.
"
57187,795014,2011-12-19,1299040,Christy,"Lois was great and her place is ,as promised, fun, funky and peaceful. Very close to everything. Unique and artistic. We loved it.
"
57187,818050,2011-12-31,1290422,Andrea,"first off, if you want friendly, earthy and artistic to the hilt, lois and her home are up at the top of the list.  lois is very engaging, and has GREAT recommendations as to where to go - to eat, to stroll, to hear music - you name it, she knows the who and where of austin, and especially its creative and funky side.

her home is in a sweet, quiet neighborhood, parking is easy - right out front - and plentiful, and the room we stayed in was in the back so it's private as can be.  there are plenty of pillows for the futon and soaps and towels for the bath, so that's comforting.  the room is clean, bright, colorful and charming, and charm is often what i look for in b&b's, so that's why lois' place caught my eye to begin with.

so, now for the not-so-good part.  my husband and i are middle aged - i'm 49 and he's 59 - and while we're in pretty good shape overall (we came from d.c. for a tennis clinic weekend outside san antonio (which turned out to be brutal but fun!) but we wanted to see austin first.  my husband has a hopefully temporary ankle problem that makes it a little more challenging to deal with futons on the floor.  the futon-only aspect wasn't what i had expected, and couldn't see it was that from the photos when i first checked out the listing.

the futon needed to be pulled out and a top sheet put on it by us (i didn't find that top sheet until the next morning when i had a look around).  there was no bed table or bedside lamp, so there was no way to read in bed without the overhead light on.  the building that is this one-room retreat space is not actually designed to be a bedroom; the ceiling is very high, so the lights are way up overhead, and so heat rises, too, and if it's chilly, as it was the night we were there, you need to put both the heaters on - i'm grateful they were in the room.  and there were plenty of blankets, too, so that helped.

quite frankly, the bathroom was uncomfortable as it is very small.  the sink faucet is a goose-neck so high above the bowl that water splashes everywhere when you turn it on with any force.  the shower is very narrow, so if i was much bigger than my petite 5' self, i don't think i'd enjoy it much.

the reason i mention all this is a) it's good to know if you're older and this is not what you're looking for, b) the way the room and bathroom are set up is not likely to change, so there's no reason to just mention it privately to lois, and last but not least, c) because of the price.  at $80/night, i felt this was kind of pricey for what we were getting.  first of all, airbnb is a strange name for listings that don't offer breakfasts, and in this case, there was a futon mattress (no frame) on the floor instead of a bed, so my husband called it a bed and breakfast without the bed or the breakfast.  i went back to airbnb and checked out some other b&b listings in the general vicinity of lois' and found that for the same price, a more standard, and frankly higher quality of furnishings and services were offered.  sometimes charm doesn't make up for the basics, and i guess that's especially true for many of us as we age.

so, the bottom line is that while lois is a sweetheart, and a total gem of a resource for how to experience austin's progressive and 'weirder' side, the room would be much more adequately priced at half the cost and we would have been quite happy with exactly what we were paying for if that were the case.  
"
57187,855394,2012-01-10,1539401,Amanda,"Lois' place was exactly what we (4 of us) needed for a fun and easy trip to Austin.  Well located near restaurants, coffee places, and major roadways, we felt able to fully experience the city - all the while feeling confident that our return to Lois' would leave us relaxed and rested for the following day's activities.  A great space and a great hostess. "
57187,866063,2012-01-16,1567978,Robb,"Lois's  place was the perfect addition to our Keep Austin Weird experience. Even tho Lois was out of town, she still checked in on us giving us the best reccomendations for food and fun. The Magnolia Cafe for breakfast and Sunday Gospel Brunch at Maria's Taco Express is a must. Every needed detail about this eclectic bugalow is exactly as shown and even better in person. The only thing I would change is the shower head. One of those rain heads would be perfect in the small but very functional shower stall. I highly reccomend this fun, freaky place to stay."
57187,875551,2012-01-21,480829,Andy,"Lois's place (and her car)  are cultural icons for Austin, a must see for both visitors and locals alike. Her place captures a certain 'je ne sais quoi' of Austin, and fits right into the Soco seen. I would like very much to be her neighbor someday."
57187,881221,2012-01-24,1564270,William,"Had a great time in Austin and highly recommend Lois's place. 

- Lois is a great host. She has a guide to the cottage and her suggestions in Austin. She is warm and welcoming and eager to help, wile at the same time careful about preserving guest's privacy. 

- The space is very cool. The three futons mean that it could sleep a lot of people if necessary, although it is a great size for 2. It is well located, not too far from downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. A great place to rest. Furthermore, the house definitely channels the ""keep Austin weird"" vibe, which is really fun. 

I will definitely stay here when I return to Austin. 
"
57187,887209,2012-01-28,140176,Alexis,"Got in late, but everything was in order for me to ptfo without any trouble. Thanks!"
57187,894669,2012-01-31,1634628,Joanne,"We decided, at the almost the last minute (only a week in advance), that we wanted to go to Austin. When I found the place on Airbnb, it looked fun - perfect vibes for a girl's weekend get away. The host responded the same day, so our plans came together quickly. 

The space was lovely! The futons were thankfully firm - as I like them. The smallest of our group slept in the loft-all three of us slept like babies. 

Right down the road was the Alamo Drafthouse and several resale shops. All up and down Lamar were places to eat, shop, and have fun. Each night of the busy, action-packed weekend, we returned to the wonderful, restful, house for a bit of conversation, wine and chocolate before sleeping. The Hostess even loaned us a corkscrew when we realized we had forgotten ours!

I'd certainly recommend this Hostess and this haven."
57187,919200,2012-02-13,1644073,Kevin,"This place was exactly as advertised and Lois was a charm and a breeze to deal with.  It felt more like we had our own little place in Austin versus staying in a hotel.  

It's exactly 800 meters from Zilker Park (down a big hill), in a great friendly neighborhood, and as artsy and fun a place as I have ever imagined. 

There's no kitchen, but we didn't need it and we knew that up front, overall this was a wonderful place to stay for the weekend and I'm sure we'll book again. "
57187,937172,2012-02-21,96041,Kenneth,"Visiting Austin for the marathon was a great experience and staying at Lois' place enhanced the experience. She was very warm and offered a lot of great recommendations of the city. The guest room/house we stayed in, like the place, was colorful, eclectic, and memorable. I would definitely stay there again when I re-visit Austin. "
57187,970166,2012-03-04,1836889,Michelle,comfortable sleeping - close to everything we wanted to do - memorable!
57187,998901,2012-03-14,1591887,Lee,"Had a great stay at this funky and unique property. Had a large group of guys so the accommodations were pretty tight, but we managed to squeeze in and sleep comfortably. The location is great, we rented bikes and getting to downtown was relatively easy. The space is cozy and well maintained and has lots and lots of character. 

Lois was a pleasant host and helped give us great advice on the area and accommodate our group. If traveling to Austin, check out the Peaceful Haven!"
57187,1023971,2012-03-20,1298358,Mark,"The place was great.  We had a blast at SXSW and I plan to stay here again if it works out for next year.  Lois was a great host - welcoming, understanding, and knowledgeable.  I would definitely recommend her studio to anyone looking for a great experience in Austin.  It's located in a great neighborhood but very close to downtown at the same time."
57187,1045339,2012-03-26,1873072,Blake,Lois's place is great.  It is exactly as described.  Everything was clean and the futon was comfortable. The Zilker park location is perfect for exploring Austin and is in a great part of town.  Lois is very friendly and provided lots of great tips on things to see and do but totally respected our privacy.  
57187,1066226,2012-03-31,142563,Julie,"Stay here, stay here, stay here. Lois' place is colorful, over the top artsy, creative, fun, funky and completely magical. Lois is down to earth, chill, warm and full of helpful suggestions. She is definitely the QUEEN of keeping Austin weird and wonderful. If you are into energetic healing, she clears the space, and you will find it lovely, healing and peaceful to stay in. If you aren't into that- that's FINE, Lois is an open minded and welcoming soul. Her home is on a quiet street in a neighborhood of small and mid-sized homes, walking distance to excellent restaurants, a coffee bar, juice bar, a bike rental, glorious and varied Zilker park (spring fed pool, mini choo-choo train rides, canoe rentals,  huge level lawns for frisbee or yoga, running and bike trails, a botanical garden, a sculpture garden, a nature center and a museum). The  neighborhood is just South of the river, and a very short drive to SOCO or 6th street. Don't stay here if you need a real bed (she has futons), a full kitchen (you'll have a mini-fridge and a water dispenser), a tub (there is a small clean shower in a cool red and black bathroom with tons of towels, soaps, shampoos and lotions), if you are too urban to wake up to bird song, or you need the security and lack of adventure of a boring cookie cutter chain hotel chain. "
57187,1078245,2012-04-03,1816362,Jen,What a little gem! 4 of us stayed at Lois' property very comfortably. Lois was a great host and had the place nice and clean- ready to go when we arrived! The spot was quiet and tranquil and the space itself was full of color and was very cozy and comfy! Would definitely stay here if we come in to town again!
57187,1094692,2012-04-07,1234033,Patricia,Lois and her guest quarters were very accommodating.  It was fun and funky but architecture of place was most impressive!  (Little wish:  the linens to have been 100% cotton vs. the current poly blend.)
57187,1126317,2012-04-13,1924456,Mark,"Zilker Park was indeed ""fun, funky and peaceful"" as advertised! I had an extra night on a business trip in Austin, so I decided to look for a good Air BnB location in a hip, centrally located part of town - I hit the jackpot. Lois was a wonderful hostess and was a great source of insider info on Austin. The futons were way more comfy than I expected, and the A/C worked like a charm... And, if you are a Stones fan (like I am), you will feel especially at home at this place!!"
57187,1176295,2012-04-24,1889501,Yolanda,"I was so happy to find Lois and her funky bungalo.  It was reasonable, fun, and exactly what I needed.  Thanx again for everything. Yo"
57187,1212158,2012-05-01,2124882,Amy,"We had a great stay at Lois' place. It's the perfect, funky Austin pad! The sleeping area is in a separate building so it's easy to come and go without feeling intrusive. The backyard is a real oasis. When I arrived, I sat outside and read, listening to the birds and wind chimes and it was so relaxing after a long day of traveling. Finding local beer in the fridge made it even better! The artwork and colorful furnishings were a delight. The area was great for us as we mainly explored the park on bikes and did the Congress St bridge (no bats this time, aas) and the SoCo area. We look forward to going back someday!"
57187,1267147,2012-05-12,668529,Jaime,We had a girls night there and had a BLAST. WE loved the atmosphere and all the scenery. Lois was extremely prompt with communication and a great lady to share this experience. Very accommodating. Very sweet woman.
57187,1321867,2012-05-21,2349157,Taylor,"Lois offers a quaint, elegant, yet eclectic area to wind down from an exciting weekend of hitting some of Austin's hotspots. This loft was perfect for a college girls' night getaway with our closest friends, and hopefully we will be able to come back in the future! I highly recommend considering this fun, funky, peaceful experience near Zilker Park.

57187,1337123,2012-05-23,489943,Jessica,"Great hostess, wonderful private accommodations. Would recommend this as a great place in a great location with a true Austin vibe."
57187,1357697,2012-05-27,2286782,Dorothy,This place feels so happy and welcoming. Great vibes and a perfect example of Austin's cool and creative atmosphere. As long as you are comfortable with on the floor futons I whole heartily recommend this place. 
57187,1367218,2012-05-28,613521,Dan,"As advertised, Lois's guest house was peaceful, colorful and comfortable.  Lois was also an attentive host.  Would definitely consider staying here again.  Good choice if you are fine with the futons.  "
57187,1388718,2012-05-31,2146000,Henny,"We LOVE this place! We were traveling with 2 small children and this place was perfect for them to relax and play after a long day of driving in the car. The backyard was peaceful with lots of fun things to enjoy, from nature to painted walls to wind chimes. My kids enjoyed playing with one of Lois' cats that was living in the backyard. Everywhere you look, there's something cool and artsy to see. 

The space is very welcoming and comfortable. We like the option of the loft, although all four of us ended up sleeping on the futons and pillows downstairs. The bathroom is small and the shower is really tight, but it was nice to have access to a bathroom and not have to bother them in the main house like some places. 

When I booked, for some reason, I miscalculated the days and booked one day short. Lois was very understanding and was able to accommodate us for an extra day. We were truly grateful! 

I hope we'll get to visit and stay here again in the future. "
57187,1411205,2012-06-04,106348,Lucy,"Four of us had a very comfortable and happy stay here. Very highly recommended!, not least of all for the amazing back fence. Comfortable, quirky, nice neighborhood, lovely host."
57187,1467904,2012-06-12,1591423,Charleen,"This was a great place and interesting to say the least!  I was very comfortable and the outside space was the perfect locale for a peaceful yoga practice to get the day started.

Lois was a fabulous hostess and very helpful when we needed her (thanks for the jump to our car!) and friendly.  I would stay here again in a second - and hopefully I will have the opportunity.

Not sure my husband could hack it though.  The beds are futon matresses on the floor (which I found quite comfortable and slept like a baby; he might have trouble getting up and down with his artificial hip) and the shower is close quarters (he's a big guy; so what if I didn't shave my legs while I was here - it's Austin for goodness sakes!).  No coffee pot which was rough the first day but I survived my caffiene-free experiment.

If you go in with your eyes open that you aren't in Kansas any more (or a 4-star hotel), you will have a great time rolling with the flow at this place.  Personally I would rate it 2,682 stars or maybe even 2,683..."
57187,1516448,2012-06-19,2384515,Kathryn,"We had such a great time staying with Lois! Her guest space was the perfect homebase for our trip to Austin. It was private, clean and very comfortably accommodated three of us. The location is perfect - right on top of Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the SoLa area. 
Would love to stay again!"

57187,1672738,2012-07-09,130695,Lindsey,My husband and I had a great time in Austin and this place was so close to downtown and everything Austin! We were so busy with seeing Austin and being out and about that I hardly got to talk to Lois. When I finally did get to talk with her she was very nice and easy going! Very peaceful place and comfortable futons. I loved all the artwork also :)
57187,1726838,2012-07-16,2897947,Bill,"I can't say enough good things about the cottage, the area and the host.  My husband and I had a wonderful weekend stay and it was close to all kinds of great restaurants and things to do.  We enjoyed visiting with Lois and she was extremely helpful pointing us to various areas around town.  Everything about this place is an urban oasis, as a plus you get the most awesome yard and artwork around!"
57187,1798648,2012-07-25,2680461,John,"Lois's beautiful little guest house was exactly as advertised: clean, comfortable, stylish, artistic and perfectly located close to Zilker Park and downtown Austin. Lois herself was gracious and helpful. Our 7 year-old son highly recommends the loft!"
57187,1888933,2012-08-04,2850286,Amado,I needed a place to stay at the last minute while visiting Austin and found exactly what I was looking for. The space was colorful and full of good vibes. It was nice to return after a night out and relax in the open space. Lois was very informative and a great hostess. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a great location on a peaceful street. I would definitely stay there again.
57187,2045407,2012-08-20,1094261,Katie,"It was wonderful to come back to this colorful and peaceful place again after working all day  moving our  daughter into her first apt.!  
It was fun to see the new mobiles! We love the new mobile in the bathroom!"

I hope we can meet again,

Anne-Marie"
57187,2356829,2012-09-20,3540930,Joshes,I had a wonderful experience in that fun little lofty house. My girlfriend and I we both enjoyed the stay very much. Lois offered wonderful hospitality and we had an oppurtunity to take a glance at her awesome work. Her car and the entire house dazzled us and the place was super clean. Highly recommended. If I come to Austin again I will definitely stay at that place 
57187,2460504,2012-09-30,3686927,Isolde,Lois was immediately warm and welcoming and had plenty of wonderful tips. (Believe her when she tells you the gingerbread pancakes at Magnolia Bakery are amazing.) The place is cozy and private -- very quiet. I slept soundly. Thank you!

The place is colorful, cozy, and tidy!  The location is also convenient for us to explore the city of Austin.  Definitely comes highly recommended!"
57187,2627522,2012-10-16,2439892,Kim,"We stayed here during ACL. We could not have asked for a better location, or more comfortable place to retire at night.  It's a short walk to Zilker Park and restaurants.  The place itself is adorable, comfortable, and has everything you could need.  We were free to come and go as we pleased, but we did enjoy chatting with Lois - she is a wealth of information, and a great host.  We look forward to staying with her again on future trips to Austin.  "
57187,2685320,2012-10-22,3715352,Lauren,"This is a comfortable, fun, and beautiful place to stay. The location is great. It is really close to all of the best things in Austin. Lois is very friendly and accomodating. "
57187,2747014,2012-10-29,235665,Sarah,Loved staying with Lois. Perfect spot for a grown up slumber party. Great location with easy access to Austin's highlights. Definitely full of Austin character.

Location is amazing. turn one way and be at Zilker park in a few minutes for kayaking, hiking, biking, blading, etc.  Turn the other way for great food on Lamar a few minutes away. The art studio, which is what it really feels like because of all the great stuff inside and in the yard is just as Lois describes it. Colorful, cheerful and festive...peaceful and private. Had a great experience. "

57187,3225520,2013-01-02,2335392,Will,"Girlfriend and I travelled to Austin for New Years.  We needed a place close to 6th street ($10 cab ride) but also wanted a place that was uniquely ""Austin"".  Lois's place nails it!  I could have spent weeks here.  So relaxing and perfect for people that want to truly experience Austin and all the amazing things that come with with this one of a kind city.  Highly recommended! "
57187,3377463,2013-01-20,1238901,Vanessa,"Very very nice location, good value and positive energy.
We loved sleeping on the futons, the kids enjoyed wandering in the magic garden with ladybug and fairy statues, and lois was helpful and superaccomodating
In spring it must be beautiful, with bathtub and all!"
57187,3430788,2013-01-28,4649249,Zulaikha,"Lois is an Amazing Host! She is very sweet, made us feel comfortable, and answered every question we had about Austin! She recommended the most beautiful place to have sunday brunch, called Green Pastures. It was one of the best places I've ever eaten at, and I couldn't have dreamed of going to a better place to eat for my Birthday Brunch! 
Lois place is unique, comfortable and something out of a fantasy! We really enjoyed ourselves there, and look forward to going back again soon! "
57187,3440635,2013-01-29,3251514,Caleb,"I stayed at the Peaceful Haven for only one night, but I wish it had been longer. The decoration and ambiance is quintessential Austin! If one word could describe Lois' place, it truly is ""peaceful""."
57187,3468026,2013-02-03,4908048,Steven,"Great host. Location is phenomenal. Awesome crash pad adjacent to the house, has a loft. Lois makes sure you enjoy yourself and provides you with great suggestions. She's truly a peach among plums. "
57187,3533587,2013-02-13,4670539,Jordyn,"The location is indeed fun, funky, and peaceful. It's also clean, conveniently located, and amazingly Austin. We had a great time there."
57187,3555322,2013-02-16,4966935,Tara,Perfect location and a really amazing space! Lois seems like a really sweet lady and is a very gracious host. Hope to be back soon! 
57187,3563393,2013-02-17,5008684,Scott,"Lois and her place was awesome! We didn't spend much time there but she was thoughtful enough to greet us at the door and make sure we had everything we needed. Her place was in prefect shape and had more than we needed to be comfortable.  It was in a quiet location. We felt at home from the moment we got there.  Thanks Lois, people like you are the ones who make Austin so cool. "
57187,3617075,2013-02-26,416310,Sydney,"Lois was a great host. As soon as I got there, I walked through a beautiful mermaid gate, she showed me the light and airy space, an amazing binder (aka the Austin Bible) with everything from eating, site seeing, and much much more. The loft part was by far my boyfriend's favorite part and I love waking up to the soft sounds of birds in the backyard.

Next time we're in town Lois will definitely be our top choice of places to stay.   Here's to you Lois!"
57187,3620900,2013-02-26,4796571,Emily,"Lois was a wonderful host.  She gave us great advice about where to go in the city & was friendly and helpful.  The room we stayed in was beautiful, colorful, and comfortable.  We had no complaints!"
57187,3674073,2013-03-02,5049132,Jennifer,Wonderful place to stay. Very cozy and the whole place has so much art to appreciate. Lois was friendly and accommodating. Thank you! 
57187,3688229,2013-03-04,3333965,Clint,"Lois was a tremendous host and her place is great.  Lois was very friendly and provided insight that only a local could.  Her place was very comfortable, clean, and colorful. The location is great - close to Zilker Park and other fun destinations yet it was a quiet place to crash.  Good vibes all around.  Thanks Lois!"
57187,3725400,2013-03-08,5245025,MaryKay,"Had a too short, but great time in Austin.  Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for what I wanted to do...Walk, run and just be outside for as long as I could stay on my feet. I got in way later than planned met Lois who is very warm and welcoming.  Took off toward Zilker Park...very close, walked to South Congress to explore the eclectic shops. Don't miss Ten Thousand Villages.  Walked back towards downtown area and headed to 6th street (not the bar area, but the shopping area...actually didn't know it existed). Had a great experience at the Dogtooth, headed to Whole Foods and then walked on home.... left at 5:40 home at 10:20...Felt safe.  Got home and chilled out in the very comfortable and eclectic loft (and I mean eclectic in the best way!) had a great night sleep and headed back out the next morning for a run.  As a single female, this is a great starting point for exploring Austin. Great neighborhood (next time, I am planning to bike through the neighborhood as it has very cool houses). Lois is a true artist and you will totally enjoy all of the details throughout the entire space~  "
57187,3770722,2013-03-13,3989769,Trish,"Lois's Peaceful Haven = one of best decisions this SXSW newbie made!  Location excellent for biking or walking into downtown, but also great for retreating from the intensity.  Great nearby restaurants and sculpture garden & within biking distance of Magnolia Cafe South where Lois's recommendation of the gingerbread pancakes is spot on.  Lois = fabulous host -- great balance of helpfulness & respect for privacy!  Friendly, thoughtful, knows her town, & appreciates the integration of the arts that attracts folks to SXSW film & music!  Very much appreciated her provision of drinking water, small fridge, and wifi!  "
57187,3830869,2013-03-19,96197,Eileen,"Five friends and I stayed with Lois during SXSW. We just needed a quiet place to sleep and her place was fun and relaxing. We rented bikes which made it easy to get to downtown but there are lots of things to do along Barton Springs, too, which is closer. 

The shower is small but there was plenty of hot water. The loft area is really fun and we didn't feel as cramped with six people as we would have in a hotel room. Lois was a great host and easy to communicate with. Stay with her for a true Austin experience. "
57187,3906361,2013-03-26,330034,Elizabeth,"My friends and I had a wonderful stay at ""The Peaceful Haven."" It was perfect for us: spacious, clean, bright, and comfortable. We couldn't have asked for a better host than Lois. She was friendly,  easy to communicate with and helpful from the minute we requested her place to the day we left Austin. Lois had great recommendations for us in terms of places to eat and things to do in the Austin area. She also has a fabulous book full of recommendations for her visitors that she has put together and encourages her guests to contribute. We would go back to Austin and stay at ""The Peaceful Haven"" in a heartbeat. It really made our trip special and memorable."
57187,3930937,2013-03-28,3016585,Leslie,"I was a worn out, NYC teacher when my family and I arrived at Lois' peaceful haven; upon check out, I left a rejuvinated human being once again. The quirky decor, original artwork, and endless pillows were enchanting! Lois' place is perfect for anyone truly wanting to be a part of ""Keeping Austin Weird"". Lois is an amazingly kind and warm spirit that welcomes all. "
57187,3976089,2013-04-01,5042646,Justin,"It was our first visit to Austin, for a friend's wedding, and staying at Lois' wonderful peaceful haven was truely an excellent experience which added to our overall impression of this great city.  Though it was a short stay, Lois made us feel very welcomed and the house was just what we needed, clean, quiet, comfortable.  The neighborhood was nice and location-wise it was close to everywhere we needed to go.  Highly recommended, and next time we come back to Austin we will not hesitate to try staying here again!"
57187,4029742,2013-04-03,5501118,Jim,"Experience true to how Lois stated. Prompt comms, super clean, nice and safe neighborhood.  Fun and funky. Thanks for the cold surprise upon arrival Louis - appreciated!"
57187,4059222,2013-04-06,2244177,Luke,"Lois was really good - everything ran smoothly, she got us settled in quickly and easily, giving us some restaurant tips, but didn't overdo it. The space was clean a comfortable (if a little cold on the night we stayed there - no complaints though, and nothing an extra blanket didn't sort out). The location is good, the neighbourhood is really nice, and the price is great. All in all, recommended! "
57187,4096337,2013-04-09,5284993,Genie,"Lois is AMAZING!  She has created a wonderful peaceful haven for sure.  Loved the Austin-y feel to the place but more than that the energy was fabulous.  We were in Austin for my daughters wedding and it couldn't have been a better place for her to be the night before.
Thank You Lois!!  "
57187,4160508,2013-04-15,2176784,Suzanne,"Everything was just as described and even more comfy than expected.  Lois was great - very welcoming and communicated well with us throughout the rental process.  I like the no shoes policy, it really added to the ambiance (and cleanliness).  Would highly recommend if you're looking for a little pillow palace retreat!  Thank you Lois!"
57187,4190612,2013-04-16,3477247,Julie,"What an excellent experience it was to stay in Lois' Peaceful Haven!  Lois is down-to-earth and gracious.  We felt immediately comfortable with her, and she gave us just the right amount of attention while giving us our privacy as well.  We had everything we needed for a comfortable overnight, plus some extra nice little touches.  We will definitely be back!"
57187,4233114,2013-04-21,5229294,Kaitlyn,"We had a wonderful time staying at Lois's. The space was cozy and  welcoming. Loved the tea selection and book of recommendations! Thanks, Lois, for everything!!"
57187,4270036,2013-04-23,1327413,Patrick,"Stayed with a friend at Lois' fun, funky and peaceful space near Zilker Park for an all too brief weekend. The space was incredibly clean, and lived up to its name as being peaceful and funky. Lois' place is very close to the city, park, and other amenities, but was also a quiet escape from downtown Austin. Although there were a few hiccups (cleaning person ran a little late, hot tub was moved which created some power loss), Lois was communicative, and none of the issues caused us any headaches. When I go to Austin again, I am DEFINITELY staying with Lois. You should too."
57187,4310304,2013-04-27,2334659,Carrin,"Lois' place is amazing. The overall feeling you get is 'just breathe'. If you're looking for a spot to get away and unwind, this is it! Lois is great to work with... very easy going Lady."
57187,4359013,2013-04-30,5056612,Rebecca,"Really good, clean and comfortable. Lois is a great host!"
57187,4396020,2013-05-02,5532015,Yasmine,"Lois is wonderful, very kind and hospitable. The Peaceful Haven is a great place to stay, really comfortable and extra clean. I loved the loft and was able to sleep really well. She really thought of everything when it comes to making your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. There is a whole binder of things to check out in the area and recommendations of restaurants and food to try. I definitely will recommend this place to everyone I know who will be coming to the area. Just make sure you have a car or a bike for transportation!"
57187,4487158,2013-05-07,2498132,Karen,We loved the space and even more loved meeting Lois!

57187,4836474,2013-05-28,4243764,Laura,"Staying at Lois' ""peaceful haven"" was a perfect fit for our first visit to Austin.  Her home is bright, colorful, peaceful, and you can't help but just feel good when you're there.  She was a lovely host and we had everything we needed.  She knows a ton about Austin and her guestbook served very helpful in getting ideas on some fun ways to spend our time. A great stay."
57187,4879971,2013-05-30,1352056,Margot,"This is a fun place in a fun area. Loved walking the streets around Lois's home. We also loved her mosaics and art in the garden and on the car. Lois, you are one remarkable lady! 
I liked the futons but one of our guests found them a little different from what she was used to. I liked the privacy.
We hired bikes about 1/2 a mile away and rode around Zilker Park (where we got quite lost) and the Lady Bird Lakes. Also enjoyed Barton Springs when we were hot from riding. Highly recommend the space and area. "
57187,4912553,2013-06-01,5856139,Melissa,"This was our first time using airbnb, and after this great experience I never want to stay in a hotel again!  The place was so beautiful, unique, a great location and CLEAN. The ""no shoe policy"" was so awesome, as we do that in our house. I was so happy we could go barefoot, unlike at hotels. Lois was so nice, organized and artsy. There was a helpful book she made with various types of information. My husband bumped into a towel rack which fell, and that we could't get back up. We told Lois before we left, and offered to pay to for it.  She graciously declined and told us it wasn't a problem. Also, we left a bag behind that she found, she called us so quickly we were able to pick it up before we left town. When we spend the night in Austin again, we are staying with Lois.  A great place to stay!!! "
57187,4931427,2013-06-02,323434,Kelly,This was truly a peaceful and lovely place in a superb location in Austin.

57187,5183249,2013-06-17,6293229,Aquila,My friends and I looooved Lois's place to host our annual girls trip. She is very nice and the house was very accommodating and a peaceful heaven for us. I loved this place and would refer to anyone! Lou's was a great host!

"
57187,5512970,2013-07-03,1965167,Erin,"We loved staying in this peaceful and funky space! Because we have a baby, we skipped the loft experience and slept on the futons on the floor. It was super comfortable, clean, and quiet. We didn't mind the small shower at all. Lois gave great advice for seeing the sights around Austin and was an all-around great host. The house and garden art is not to miss!!"
57187,5607109,2013-07-08,6647219,Travis,"Our stay in Zilker Park at Lois's Loft was amazing, Myself and 3 buddies comfortably slept in every morning, and enjoyed here great ambiance that her house put out! She was a wonderful host, and the loft is so ""homey"" it was quite nice to come home everynight after String Cheese and be right at home! "
57187,5679942,2013-07-11,6910657,Eva,"We had the *best time ever* staying at Lois's place in Zilker Park!  I was just sad that we couldn't stay longer.  The futons were super comfortable, there was an abundance of interesting reading material, and the pops of color in every hidden corner created a sense of interest and discovery.  Thank you for for the truly Texan (I mean, Austin) experience.  Hope to see you again!"
57187,5777564,2013-07-15,4837178,Jody,"Great overnight stay at Lois' artful abode. She was super nice and helpful. The place was very clean, and perfectly located for outdoor fun and South Congress and South Lamar shopping and eating, too. Mini fridge was a thoughtful touch! "

57187,5938460,2013-07-23,1760203,Susannah,"We had a wonderful stay!  This is a sweet little spot, and very central for visiting Austin.  Staying here added so much color fun to our Austin visit.  We had emailed Lois on short notice to make sure that an iron would be available so we could look presentable at the wedding we came to Austin to attend.  Lois responded quickly and made sure this was taken care of.  Thanks so much!"
57187,6089043,2013-07-29,4445999,Kimson,"Great artsy peaceful and quirky place to stay.  My friends and i really loved the space.  We stayed overnight and were very comfortable.  Lois was a great host, quick to respond and attentive, we felt right at home.
Loved the no shoe policy.  The space was clean and tidy.  
Only complaint is we couldnt get the mini-fridge to get cold but luckily we brought a cooler with ice to keep our drinks cold.
The bathroom was a bit small, but it was clean and stocked with plenty of towels.  Would have been AWESOME if the hot tub actually worked.  
Great experience, i would recommend this place to a friend. =) Thanks Lois!"
57187,6166084,2013-08-01,7748381,Barbara,"Radical!!!!! I recently stayed at Lois' Zilker Park, Fun, Funky dig and it was the best experience ever! We loved it! Could walk/bike to everything cool in Austin: Barton Springs, S. Lamar, Zilker Park, Nature Center, and many cool outdoor hangouts. Top shelf in our book. The house and her art was very cool and upbeat. Lois was a great host. We came and went as we pleased like we live there. 
Very cool space! Thx Lois, you rock!
"
57187,6384338,2013-08-10,7746642,Gabriella And Aaron,"Lois was the perfect host and her home was the best getaway spot I could imagine. She thought of everything by providing shampoo, tea, a hair dryer, and really cool reads. Will definitely be coming back!"
57187,6430580,2013-08-12,1903629,Lloyd,Arty chill out place in a nice residential neighborhood close by most of the places to be in Austin. Everything you need is there and the hosts will be there if you need them or stay discrete if you don't 
57187,6551312,2013-08-16,7958075,Kandren,"We always stay at cool, funky and unique places whenever we travel.  It's hard to find but I was once again successful.  My daughter and I found this place and surprised my husband with it.  For the first few hours your amazed and cant stop looking.  Lois is very kind and it's hard to talk to her when your senses are in overload while admiring her unique taste and her artwork.  We didn't want to leave but had to because it was booked.  We stayed in Austin for 2 more nights and kept comparing and misses the art zen pad (that's what we called it).  We cant wait to go back!  We went to 3 of Lois's food recommendations and loved all of them especially Magnolia's.  We even went back 2 x to Magnolia's.  The Fun, Funky place is extremely relaxing and quiet!   Close to everything!  We even left our 3 locked bikes on our car out front and they were perfect in the morning, no one touched them.  A few days later we went to Schlitterbahn and while swimming someone had messed with one of our lights on our bikes but not at Lois's Zen Pad.  Great safe neighborhood."
57187,6561464,2013-08-17,5856139,Melissa,"This was our second time staying with Lois. It is sooo great to stay there. I love everything about It! Beautiful, peaceful, great location, clean, unique, comfortable, and Lois is wonderful. Also the new kittens outside are so cute and fun to watch, and play with. There are other places in Austin to stay, but we are so happy there that we aren't going anywhere else."

57187,7017314,2013-09-03,7836827,Perry  & Mayra,"An awesome getaway experience staying in Austin for the weekend at Lois place! The best part consist of how close      her place is to different cites and downtown. Nevertheless, her creative, funky, and groovy vibes are shown off through out her home, which enhances the atmosphere that Austin offers! 

Overall, her place is clean, organized, and well taken care off!! Also, any question or concerns she is quick to respond to those needs.  

"
57187,7035580,2013-09-04,1518491,Savannah,"This space was perfect for my girlfriends and I who were in town for a wedding.

The neighborhood is beautiful and right down the street from Barton Springs, which was very convenient on a hot summer's day. I highly recommend this listing and would love to come back!"
57187,7117912,2013-09-07,7500240,Cecilia,"Let's start with wow so much cool funky art to see everywhere. We arrived and was greeted by Lois who was so super friendly. She told us of places to eat and see and said if we needed anything to let her know. We took her suggestion ate at Torchys Tacos yum. The next morning we got up early and Lois and her kitties were outside. She let me ask questions about her house, her art and her work. She is so friendly and warm I can't wait to stay again often. Plus we miss the peace and quiet of her wonderful home. If your wanting a quiet tranquil spot with an awesome hostess this is it. All we can say is thank you Lois!!!!"
57187,7409060,2013-09-18,147529,Kenneth,Lois was an amazing host with a wonderful place! I would definitely visit again.
57187,7456036,2013-09-21,7496312,Virginia,"My boyfriend and business partner with KW Realty traveled to Austin for the Mega Camp Convention. We stayed at Lois' place instead of the Embassy Suites which was running about $289.00 a night. We loved our stay. We couldn't have asked for more. We appreciated the free water (both hot and cold) and the neighborhood was beautiful. Austin was so much fun. We rented a car and went to Hamilton Pool which was such a great experience. We really enjoyed Austin Java and ZTejas restaurants. I got to enjoy the Town Trail which is the nicest trail I have ever been on. The place was neat, clean and just so cool. I would stay there again and I recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin. We were 10 minutes to the convention center. We got to enjoy Austin more by being part of it instead of a hotel. Thank you Lois. Your place is adorable and has great energy."

It was a little chilly, so we used the two space heaters conveniently located in the space.  Lois was extremely friendly and welcoming, willing to spend a while with us helping us to get acclimated to the area.  The place had a lot of character too.  The energy in the peaceful haven was great too!  "

Lois is a long-time Austin resident; you can't go wrong with any of her suggestions.

Everything she tells you about her place is completely accurate."
57187,8899421,2013-11-25,9185627,Heather,"We slept very well on the futons at the Peaceful Haven.  We put them all together for one big bed for us and our daughter.  We often left the door ajar to let the 3 kittens in.  We had so much fun with them!  The low windows open onto a magical ""mushroom fairy"" garden, and the kittens often played out there.

Heating and air conditioning, bathroom, fridge all worked well.  The water cooler with hot/cold options were a nice touch for tea and coffee.  Lois was a great hostess.  We enjoyed all her art and art car, as well as her neighborhood and location."
57187,8978487,2013-11-30,9016960,Alice,"The studio is perfectly described:  fun, funky and peaceful.  It is also very clean and very comfortable.  This is not just a place to hang your hat...  it is a great experience."
57187,9036547,2013-12-02,5189743,Travis,"Very nice host that communicated well.  Very convenient location. This spot is totally ""Austin""."
57187,9121164,2013-12-08,5856139,Melissa,"We have stayed with Lois numerous times now, and always look forward to our staying with her. She is so thoughtful and kind. The place is always so clean, and it is a beautiful space so close to everything. I really like how organized the place is, and the helpful guidebook Lois made. We plan on being regulars for a long time to come. Thanks Lois for always making us feel so welcome:-)"
57187,9152843,2013-12-09,889138,Brian & Julia,"Our stay in Lois' peaceful house was so cozy and perfect. It was pretty cold in Austin, so being able to snuggle up in the lofted area was really comfortable. The house, surrounding art, and backyard were all really fun and great to wake up to. I should also mention that we fell in love with the two cats that were roaming around. Lois was really accommodating for our one night stay, helpful with recommendations. We'd definitely recommend this to a friend, or stay again in the future!"
57187,9188745,2013-12-11,10532506,Justin,Lori was very welcoming. 3 of us stayed there for a night after a long drive from Michigan. Her place was comfortable and pleasant. I would recommend it to anyone. 
57187,9309665,2013-12-20,3269190,Rebecca,"Lois's airbnb space is awesome! I was there solo for work all week, but the R&R at the studio made it feel like a break. The futon was very comfortable to sleep on, and I loved the feeling of being under the vaulted ceiling and skylight all week, especially the last evening under a full moon. . . The lightest green and lightest blue color scheme of the walls was so lovely and relaxing, I may have to emulate in future decor. Cool whimsical artwork abounds, a most imaginative inspiring space to spend time in. Lois communicated at all the right times and was so thoughtful throughout. Thank you for a great stay!  Highly recommended."
57187,9399106,2013-12-26,10720262,Frank,Unique and Cozy.  I loved this place.  Lois keeps it clean and it is stocked with water and tea...it had everything we could want and I was very comfortable in there. It is so close to Zilker Park that I was able to walk there in just a few minutes.  Lois makes you feel very welcome and there is a binder with all the information you could need. The restroom was on the small side as she mentions but it was perfectly function and well stocked with towels. I highly Recommend this place! A++
57187,9450417,2013-12-29,10395195,Katja,"This was our first time booking with airbnb and we had a great experience. Lois' place met all of our expectations and we felt immedialtely at home. Very special and artistic - loved it and will definetely come back. Travelled with 3 adults and 3 children, so space was limited, but fine for us. Heating worked very well (important since we had low temperatures). Lois was welcoming and very responsive. "
57187,9511298,2013-12-31,6281588,Trang,"I enjoyed the fact that the space despite being attached to the main house was very private. I only had a brief encounter with Lois but she seemed cordial and engaging. It was an extremely short stay so we didn't do as much as we'd wanted. The space is wild-- airy, bright, eclectic and obviously very colorful. Check-in/out was easy and we got everything we needed."
57187,9859257,2014-01-14,500159,Stephanie,"Lois was great, her place was definitely fun and funky. Well located close to Austin, had great recommendations on where to go, and we just really enjoyed being somewhere with some character. Would stay again."
57187,9939140,2014-01-20,11130338,Vanessa,"Peaceful Haven was everything we expected and more. From the moment we arrived we felt a peaceful energy immediately. Cozy, quaint, conveniently located and private. Surrounded by art and vibrant colors it truly embodies the Austin charm. There is binder filled recommendations by Lois and previous guests which is really helpful if you are a first timer to Austin. Check in and out was very easy. We highly recommend it and would stay again."
57187,10075889,2014-01-28,7681583,Daniel,"Wonderful, quirky place with an atmosphere perfect for relaxation. "
57187,10280738,2014-02-10,7635215,Salym,"What a great spot! So much charm, character and wonderful energy! It was very comfortable with plenty of blankets and pillows to be as cozy as you want to be! When I made our reservation, I only thought there would be 2 of us. At the last minute my brother decided to join us an Lois was very welcoming with him as well. She was a delight and I'd only hope you get to spend some  time with her during your stay. I'd recommend a car but we did take a cab downtown for only $12. However, this great place is closer to SoCo than downtown which is an awesome part of Austin! I will surely look this place up next trip to Austin!  "
57187,10392819,2014-02-17,11547589,Sarah,"We really enjoyed staying with Lois. Everything is very peaceful, relaxing and quiet. The location is perfect for a quick walk to Zilker park or Barton Springs. The artwork and decor is simply phenomenal and so creative. We would definitely stay there again! 

Many thanks to Lois for her hospitality. "
57187,10549257,2014-02-24,11150758,Emily,"We absolutely LOVED staying at Lois' unique place.  Not only was it beautiful but it was such a comfortable stay.  She provided so many amenities that I wasn't expecting (mini-fridge, filtered water, blow dryer, iron, tons of towels and pillows).  Lois is also a treat to chat with, she gave us many excellent recommendations.  The location is great, it was about a $10 cab ride to both 6th Street, and Rainey Street. and a very short drive to SOCO and 2nd Street.  Also, she has three cats that are the cutest, friendliest things.  

Loved staying here and would definitely stay here again!
Thanks, Lois!!!!"
57187,10610744,2014-02-27,7617079,Wyatt,Lois was an amazing host!!! She has great information on local Austin attractions and activities as well as the best places to eat. This is the quintessential Austin home. If you want an amazing experience- STAY HERE!!! So cute- and the kitties really make it a warm and inviting space. 
57187,10710939,2014-03-03,10241455,Erin,Had a great stay at Lois's little colorful house. I really enjoyed the area and her very sweet cats who kept us company. Would definitely recommend this place. 
57187,10731633,2014-03-04,2183033,Nick,"If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Austin that's near downtown but has a quiet, chill vibe, this is the place. I only got to stay one night, but I had no problems. There are some friendly cats that will visit you so if you're allergic beware. I would not only recommend staying there, but I would stay again as well."
57187,10751301,2014-03-05,911429,Joseph,"Lois was very welcoming friendly and checked to make sure that we were settled in well. She helped us out with our dinner and entertainment plans in the evening. I would stay again and recommend her cozy cottage to anyone. To all future guests, Please enjoy. Cheers :)"
57187,11043710,2014-03-18,432934,Ryan,"Lois was a great host. Her place is very comfortable, private, quiet, and was a great refuge from SXSW. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, and just a stone's throw from Zilker park. It's also in a great location for just seeing Austin. I would definitely stay here again. "
57187,11155159,2014-03-23,12649546,Jessica,"It was *so* nice to return to Lois's bright and well-vibed getaway after long days of conferencing in a monochromatic hotel. Lois is fantastic, and her thoughtful folder chock-full of Austin recommendations arm you with the knowledge necessary to experience all sorts of interesting places. Highly recommended!"
57187,11193260,2014-03-24,6278770,Tracy,"Wonderful and charming, this spot embodies the ideals of all things Austin!  Can't beat the location either - within walking distance to my favorite spots along Barton Springs road and Zilker Park!  Lois was a great host - all instructions were very detailed, which is helpful, and gave great advice on places to eat.  I will certainly stay again next time in Austin."
57187,11411536,2014-04-01,2915028,Pierre,"The accommodation was great. We all had a good night.
The house is 5 minutes away from Austin downtown by car. All the decoration was positively original.
We greatly appreciate spending a night here. By the way, the cats are very nice !"
57187,11503511,2014-04-05,2025805,RyAnn,"Lois is just as amazing as her space. We drove in from SC and Lois accommodated us last minute very quickly. As tired as we were after our 17hr drive we found Lois' rental and presence energizing yet relaxing at the same time- exactly what we needed. Her guest home with a private bathroom is extremely clean and creatively decorated. Want the the authentic Austin experience? Stay with Lois, she's knowledgable (she leaves you with a really informative what to do in Austin locals' insider guide) and Lois really makes you feel at home offering the level of privacy you wish to have. Thanks Lois, you were so awesome!"
57187,11558093,2014-04-07,11579333,Amy,"I loved staying here! Truly welcoming, clean, quiet, and peaceful. One really nice extra was the rain on the metal roof it was the icing on my stay. 

You'll love how comfortable and soft the futons on the floor are. Also, there is plenty of clean covers, sheets, tons of towels and washcloths. Everything is just so, but very relaxed and the place looks like the pictures.

Parking was very easy as there was always a place open right in front. Can't wait to stay again.
"
57187,11797778,2014-04-15,11099290,Sandy,"This was my first Airbnb experience so I wasn't sure what to expect. Lois' place was so fun and different and helped to make our stay in Austin a memorable one. My kids loved exploring all the quirky, colorful art and fell in love with the playful and hilarious cats. Watch out for Beauty - that cat loves guacamole! Lois was helpful and gracious and the room was clean and pleasant. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to experience the ""Keep Austin Weird"" campaign up close. "
57187,11937335,2014-04-19,10892713,Chris,"The loft was great, and lois was an accommodating host. The house was close to many of the places we visited. Overall, great stay. Would use again"
57187,12004388,2014-04-21,13202097,Colin,"We had a great time at Lois's place in Austin this weekend! Such a nice relaxing vibe, close to everything we wanted to do and an extremely unique atmosphere to say the least. The place was extremely clean and organized, and Lois was quick to respond to any questions we had regarding our stay. We will definitely be back!!! :)"
57187,12083761,2014-04-22,13824937,Bianca,"We had an amazing time. The place was beautiful, quiet and clean. We fell in love with the three outside cats too. "
57187,12170333,2014-04-24,951794,Abe,"I was just there for a quick stay. Really quick drive from Lois's place to get almost anywhere in Austin. Great neighborhood. Lois is AWESOME! The whole place is just fun. You can't NOT be happy and relaxed when you are in the cool cottage. It really is fun, funky, and peaceful!! This was my second time staying there and once again, I found it very enjoyable."
57187,12273725,2014-04-28,12099810,Emily,"Lois was super warm, and the place was clean, cozy, and quiet. Highly recommended!"
57187,12829679,2014-05-12,13676614,Sean,"Happy to leave feedback for Lois and her Zilker Park studio! The pictures do a great job showing you what to expect, lots of colors, lots of pillows, very relaxing. I came down by myself to visit family and found this to be an excellent place to duck out of the fray and recharge. Lois was great to deal with and very attentive/communicative through the whole process. Even though she was out of town for the weekend, she still gave a shout to make sure my stay was going well.  Zilker Park is quiet and laid back, but super close to downtown, Barton Springs and a host of other great Austin sights. Thanks again Lois!"
57187,13104356,2014-05-19,15141575,Hayley,"This place is a gem!! Lois is beyond accommodating, sweet , and very knowledgeable about all things Austin! The space is clean, well taken care of,homey and the perfect location. Looks just like the photos. I will def stay here again. "
57187,13245838,2014-05-23,1635578,Stephanie,"Lois was a wonderful, gracious host and her space was absolutely what I needed: a space to recharge and reflect. She also has some incredibly cute, friendly cats that were a joy to have around :) If you're looking for a relaxing space in a cute neighborhood, this is the place for you!"
57187,13795413,2014-06-04,13533812,Ute,"Lois´ place is wonderful and she has been a perfect host.
Unfortunately we only had a day in austin – we wished we could have stayed longer and had more time to chat!

Thank you Lois!"
57187,13993785,2014-06-09,16235692,Aimee,Lois is a great hostess!  Fun to chat with and her home is very inviting...felt like we were staying with friends!  Loved her style!
57187,14348331,2014-06-17,4337386,James,"Thank you, Lois! I had an amazing time and look forward to returning again sometime!"
57187,14489918,2014-06-20,7529726,Patrick,"My friends and I stayed over at Lois's while road tripping in Austin and it's seriously the cutest place to stay! Lois was also very kind. Definitely love to come back! Thanks again!

- Kim"
57187,14542671,2014-06-21,96041,Kenneth,This was my second time staying at Lois' place and it was again an enjoyable experience. She is warm and friendly. Her place is a short walk from Zilker Park and she is a source of great information on where to go in Austin. Highly recommend booking with her. 
57187,14760544,2014-06-25,10674629,Laine,"I didn't get a chance to meet Lois because she was out of town during my stay, but she was so helpful, communicative, and friendly over the phone! The space is lovely!! It is exactly as described, and the photos do not do it justice. I definitely intend to stay here again. "
57187,14896677,2014-06-28,11232817,Jennifer,"Lois' place is fantastic! It's such a cool place both inside and out and is in a fantastic location near downtown and amazing parks. Despite the fact she was out of town when we stayed, everything went off without a hitch and she's made a great guide of Austin in the cottage. The decor is very cool and if you like art you will love it. Lois is doing her part to keep Austin weird :)"
57187,14978959,2014-06-30,15286834,Sonia,"We had a BLAST in Austin and loved our stay at Lois's Fun, Funky, and Peaceful Zilker Park cottage!!  The location is amazing and we were within a short distance of everything we had planned and wanted to explore while in Austin.    "
57187,15343875,2014-07-07,8629986,Bethany,"We had an INCREDIBLE 4th of July weekend staying at Zilker Park! The decor and ambiance is exactly as described ""fun, funky, and peaceful"" which was precisely what we were looking for in Austin. We had four people staying here and had plenty of room, the futons were very comfortable, and the entire place was extremely clean. Lois was an exceptional host and made sure we had everything we needed! Wi-fi worked great, plenty of towels, great water pressure, and a small fridge to stash your beers. I can't recommend this place enough....."
57187,15438130,2014-07-08,17692453,Steve,"Great first experience using Airbnb. We loved staying at Lois's and wished we could have stayed longer. Her cat, Beauty, was very friendly and spent most of the day hanging out with us. "
57187,15610048,2014-07-12,17148351,Betsy,Host was nice and accommodating.  Peaceful and quiet.  My daughter loved the funky atmosphere.  Definitely not conventional ... but that was the fun in it!
57187,15711806,2014-07-14,1345111,Cynthia,"This was a super place to stay. All of the color and artwork and crafts give it a real personality, it's quiet, and it's very clean. If sleeping on futons is not your thing, it may not be for you, but we found it to be quite comfortable. Lois was more than honest about the limitations -- the bathroom is especially small. But she does not mention the many amenities she provides, like the mini-fridge, hot and chilled water, tea bags, hair dryer, huge fluffy towels, and other creature comforts. I recommend it to others and would stay here again. "
57187,16180798,2014-07-22,18218616,Denise,Loved how close it was to everything. Met Lois very brief but she was very sweet & said if I had any questions whatsoever just to give her a call. It was very clean which I loved... Very private another major plus and also very quite. I would very much recommend it. 
57187,16445712,2014-07-27,10477447,Matt,"Some friends and I were in town celebrating a birthday and when our other reservations fell through last minute, I started scouring airbnb for another place for all of us to crash for the night. I gave Lois a shout and she gladly accepted us (and even waived her recommended two-night minimum). 

Upon arrival, all of us were in awe. The place is over-the-top colorful while still being warm and inviting and Lois and her feline friends are incredibly welcoming and accommodating. The house is tucked into it's quiet little neighborhood which means no traffic or excess noise yet it's still a quick jaunt over to SoCo or 6th street. 

After a night out, this place was perfect to come back to. The futons on the ground level lay out to accommodate a couple of people each and, if you're brave enough to climb the ladder after a night out drinking (we weren't), the loft can sleep one or two as well. There was no shortage of pillows and blankets and the place stayed cool well into the morning. 

This place was a wonderful crash pad for the bunch of us and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a truly ""Austin"" place to stay. "
57187,16587142,2014-07-29,18482988,Stephen,"What a wonderful stay and a very lucky find!   Would recommend to anyone who wants a fresh, relaxing, clean, delightful and fun place to stay in central Austin.   The neighborhood is wonderful and peaceful and only a short walk to Barton Springs.    Lois is very welcoming and has great fun taste in art, landscape, decor, and architecture.  This is the best of Austin crystalized."
57187,16811634,2014-08-02,11333537,Gillian,"We had a really great time staying with Lois, she is a fantastic host and a wonderful person. The room is exactly as described and very comfortable and importantly very cool, even after returning in the evening and the AC had been off all day. We slept very well! The house is in a quiet neighbourhood just a couple of miles from the city. Its a ten dollar taxi ride to the city but we took the one dollar bus! Lois' place is only a 10-15 minute walk from Barton Springs pool. For dining, there are several great restaurants on the main road, again walking distance away. Lois was so friendly, helpful and interesting,  hope we'll be able to come back someday, thank you!"
57187,16876739,2014-08-03,19003181,Sam,"Great place in Zilker Park. Wish we had more time to enjoy the city. It was what we expected, a small room that can fit 4 people comfortably. Any more than that may be an issue.  Lois was a great host. She was very accommodating with our schedule. Would stay here again."
57187,17005377,2014-08-05,3221960,Iris,"Wonderful place in quiet Zilker Park neighborhood! We really enjoyed our stay in Lois' funky, peaceful haven. She was quick to respond to questions and even greeted us with suggestions for vegan food options when we arrived. We slept well every evening and enjoyed playing with the local kitties Beauty and Bowee when we were at the rental. We will be back! Love the decor! Good vibe and ambience."
57187,17374039,2014-08-11,18173454,Maria,"We rented this funky and peaceful haven for a girl's weekend getaway.  We  were so lucky to get to experience a great find! Lois' place is small and quaint, and is advertised as such - and it suited us perfectly.  We wanted a cool little place to hang out while in town.  We were also so impressed with the host's eagerness to share so much helpful information for seeing the sights and finding great food.  Some of the things we really loved - the cool shag rug, the friendly kitty, the fantastic roofline and windows, and just the overall relaxing feel.  The location we GREAT too - so easy to get to all the really fun places in town. "
57187,17493411,2014-08-12,1271476,Michael,Super fun for me and my 7 year old daughter.
57187,17548738,2014-08-13,18680434,Thomas,Great place with comfy futons. Would recommend to stay here. Lois is great and helpful. 
57187,17594892,2014-08-14,19541246,Vy,"We totally fell in love with the place! It was tidy and clean. Lois was a very good host. She showed us the Barton Springs Pool, which totally cooled us off in these 100 degrees weather. Will definitely stay here again when we get a chance to visit Austin again "
57187,17665513,2014-08-15,1978779,Drucilla,The place was great! Bright and fun and very comfortable. I highly recommend it. 
57187,17791132,2014-08-17,7958075,Kandren,"Everything was GREAT ~ Lois is very accommodating and polite, nice.  Plenty of communication.  Place was exactly how we thought it would be.  We stayed here last year with our bikes on the back of the SUV and there was no problems with that.  Loft is very secluded and quiet.  Nice Tea & water in loft.  August is very hot!  Would recommend the Lois and her loft to anyone."
57187,18118053,2014-08-22,17207870,Taylor,"Wow! What a great choice! We had a hard time finding and affordable place close to downtown Austin until we found Lois' haven.  The space itself is relaxing from the moment you walk through the mermaid door to get to your guesthouse.  Inside it is cool and calming.  There were two of us and it was a perfect fit.  There is a loft, but we ended up sleeping on the floor where we made a bed with all of the pillows and blankets.  As for other benefits, there is a refrigerator, filtered water, plenty of towels, and even toiletries!  There is also a ton of cute artwork.  

Lois is a GREAT person to be with in Austin.  She is very kind and knowledgeable.  She made it a point to see us on a first day and at least once throughout the week.  There in a binder and a plethora of information from guest reviews, recommendations, and other literature with things to do.  She has two cats and the one even came in and hung out with us! One of the nicest cats I have ever encountered.  

The location was just a 5 minute drive from Barton Springs and a 10-15 minute drive from about 90% of the places we wanted to go to. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.  We stayed for 5 nights and I wish it was longer. HIGHLY recommended - do not miss out on this place.  "
57187,18221607,2014-08-23,8285371,Nic,"Fun place! Stopped through Austin for a night with three friends and got the chance to stay here. Lois was incredibly accommodating to one of our party's cat allergies, making sure the place was free of dander when we arrived. The place was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was safe and close to Barton Springs Pool which we visited the next day. On our way out, Lois pointed us in the direction of a lunch spot, Torchy's Tacos, that we all enjoyed. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone stopping through."
57187,18364432,2014-08-25,19986722,Natalia,"it's a lovely place, we liked it a lot. Lois is a frendly and hospitable person. She is also very creative and her place is amazing! "
57187,18713167,2014-08-31,16431197,Jack,Nice Location.  The shower was very small.
57187,19338811,2014-09-10,17160985,Emilio,"Awesome place in the best location possible. Everything was close by. Lois was very helpful and attentive, reminding us to talk to her if we needed anything. Couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Thanks Lois"
57187,19570822,2014-09-14,9317438,Jessica,"What a wonderful place! This reminded me of every fort I ever dreamed of building as a child. It was the perfect amount of space for 2 people and then some. I had read reviews that the shower was tiny however it was actually perfect and no problem. The place was peaceful and cozy, I didn't want to leave."
57187,19704833,2014-09-16,11495887,Mark,"Really loved it, clean and private and very unique. I'd stay there again, definitely."
57187,19763863,2014-09-17,20604192,Meg,"Location, location, location! Walked to Zilker Park and to great restaurants all around. As long as you're cool with sleeping on futons on the floor, which was perfectly comfy for my husband and I, then you're good. It was quiet, Peacful an super funky decor. I'll be staying here again for sure. "
57187,20891853,2014-10-07,4741296,Dennis,"STAY HERE!!!
Lois, this funky love shack you have created is so unique on one of a kind, and screams you personality and creativity. 
You can walk to Zilker Park for ACL with NO problem, or walk and take a refreshing dip in the Barton Springs natural pool. Lamar Ave is not far and is a real lifeline to the rest of the city. The house was very easy to access and the beds and abundance of pillows and blankets make for a comfortable rest after seeing this great city.  have fun, read her welcome book for all kinds of great local recommendation. Thanks Again Lois and the Cats who welcomed us with open arms!!! #keepaustinweird "
57187,21528448,2014-10-19,21494403,Morgan,"Unfortunately Lois was out of town during our stay, but she was always readily available via Airbnb messaging to check in on us & make sure we had everything we needed! She was especially awesome in dealing with our weird arrival and departure schedules (& when city traffic made us mess up our check out time). The space was absolutely amazing, and in a great location. Also, the kitties are super adorable and friendly, and made me feel right at home as a crazy cat lady. I definitely highly recommend checking out this location!"
57187,21716844,2014-10-22,3218850,Frank,"What an amazing place,stay here if you really want to experience true austin. Just perfect, I would describe it for you, but i dont want to ruin the surprise.  Just book it."
57187,21950326,2014-10-27,15028515,Mara,"I had the best weekend ever with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary here, it's so quiet and peaceful and lovely, and close to absolutely everything. The fact that there are three adorable resident cats willing to cuddle and play with you the whole time doesn't hurt either. Lois was super helpful and friendly and made us feel extremely welcomed. If you love to keep Austin weird and want to experience Austin at the fullest, stay here!"
57187,22335918,2014-11-03,22411444,Robert,"Great time in Austin, and great time at this loving home in a safe neighborhood.  The cats were very friendly and definitely made the trip."
57187,22575804,2014-11-10,13182514,McKenna,"We loved staying at the Zilker Park apartment. It was very clean, comfortable, and cute. It was walking distance from Barton Springs and downtown. Thanks for having us!"
57187,23325001,2014-11-29,10727438,Janet,"We had a wonderful stay at Lois' beautiful and creative cottage.  It was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for our 5 night stay.  We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, visits from the very well-behaved cats, and the lovely eclectic neighborhood.  All the unique and interesting art pieces within and outside the cottage made our stay even more enjoyable.  We highly recommend this spot."
57187,23490991,2014-12-02,15995584,Sophia,This was an amazing and cute place!Lois was lovely and gave us lots of information about the area we were staying in and good places to go eat.the accommodation was really comfy and spacious.would highly recommended it!
57187,23710628,2014-12-08,4391882,Maria,"The host was there for late check in and made us feel very welcome. The guest house really is a funky, fun place to stay in Austin! Very centrally located. We were there in winter so we did not go to Barton Springs, but it is still a short drive away from South Congress, downtown, etc.  
We were OK with letting the 2 kittens in and it was an extra treat for us to play and hang out with them.  Do be aware that it is all one open space so only stay here if you are very close and comfortable with your group.  No kitchen but plenty of drinking water is provided, as well as a mini fridge and has a coffee/tea station which we did use in the mornings. I would stay here again!"
57187,23801648,2014-12-10,1206530,Helena,"Lois's place offers absolutely the best in Austin character (with the option of friendly kittens) in a quiet neighborhood convenient to some of Austin's best shopping and dining. She's gone above and beyond to provide guests with information, amenities (not just shampoo and conditioner, but mousse, aftershave, wine glasses and a corkscrew, and a range of teas and coffees), and a chance to spend the night surrounded by artwork and color. My only regret was that I didn't have more than one night to spend there!

Lois was easy to reach, and her listing gives all the information you could need, down to parking intel; you'll go far to find a better host."
57187,23973703,2014-12-15,10485587,Erin,"This place was everything I was hoping it was: a magical oasis with a secret loft. Lois was more than I could've hoped for: a wildly creative clairvoyant, with whom I could've chatted for hours"
57187,24507848,2014-12-29,3119020,Chelsea,"I enjoyed my stay in Austin at Lois's peaceful and quiet property. The artwork in and around the property is one of a kind. I would recommend this listing to anyone looking the Austin experience, it was wonderful."
57187,24575679,2014-12-30,19922571,Chris,"Everything was great!! We never had a chance to meet Lois in person but she happily helped us out by phone when we had a question. The space was colorful and eclectic, making our stay in Austin very interesting. "
57187,24631379,2014-12-31,1114248,Farzaneh,"We really enjoyed our short one night stay at Lois's super funky place! 
It was nothing like we'd seen before. Lois is very artistic and her attention to detail in her decorations is remarkable! 

The futons are very comfortable especially for us after having camped for 5 nights. Lois is a very nice and friendly host and we would have liked to chat with her some more had we had some time. As a bonus, there were 3 very very cute cats to play with!"
57187,24960749,2015-01-04,1036925,Jasmine,"There were 4 of us that stayed at this location and there was plenty of space. Everything from our host's hospitality to the space were great. I loved the quiet, cozy neighborhood too. Our host provided a great guide listing best places to eat and visit during our stay. The cost was affordable too! Thank you for being a great host."
57187,25112178,2015-01-06,25280459,Suzanne,"We enjoyed the great location and the fun little studio.  The futons were quite comfy.  We were sad that  we missed Lois, herself but she really went out of her way to give us the run down of the local attractions."
57187,25317263,2015-01-12,24428031,Andy,We really enjoyed staying here!  My daughter and I had plenty of adventures locally without having to rent a car since so much was really close by!  The place was very comfortable and a strong rainfall at night made for a very nice sound on the roof!  We loved the location and would definitely return.  We enjoyed meeting Lois and she welcomed us to to the place when we arrived.
57187,25650493,2015-01-21,6006317,Eric,"At 4 Pm, we called Lois about a last minute booking at the peaceful haven.. Within 2 minutes she responded and approved us as we drove to Austin! She was an amazing host with a lot of recommendations for the city and answered all our questions. 

The room itself is a very lovely loft with the nicest cats who visit frequently. It's warm with a lot of pillows and blankets for your comfort and creates a very energy healing environment. Highly recommended  "
57187,25840168,2015-01-27,15141575,Hayley,"I've stayed with Lois three times now, and each time exceeds all my expectations! My favorite little getaway in Atx! Clean, homey, and close to just about everything...what more could you ask for?"
57187,25920764,2015-01-29,15876183,Suzanne,"I am grateful to Lois for squeezing me in last-minute for an overnight work trip to Austin. My stay was perfect - her place was exactly what I needed - calm, relaxing, and quiet. I will definitely be back! "

Thanks again Lois!"

Loved the atmosphere she has created, and loved the cats.  Location is perfect as it is close to everything, and the recommendations given for restaurants etc were spot on.

Would recommend in a heartbeat!!! "
57187,26990359,2015-02-23,26174498,Tassie,"Lois greeted us upon on our arrival, even though we hit some traffic on the drive and arrived later than we anticipated. The photos were accurate and even better in person. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and easily accessible. "
57187,27173000,2015-02-27,3309637,Derek,Really fun and quirky place. Really cozy too. Lois was super inviting as well as her adorable kitties! For sure would stay here again. 
57187,27348608,2015-03-02,27503475,Thom,"The Peaceful Haven is just that! Colorful, bright, plush, quiet, secluded, but exciting.  Lois has created such an awesome little place, so unique, so comfortable. Plenty of room to sleep 4+, but cozy enough that i'm sure it'd be perfect for a weekend in Austin with that special someone. Lois is so kind, and incredibly welcoming. Super clean, super comfortable. 10/10 !"
57187,27450232,2015-03-04,7532363,Bob,"Thank you Lois! The space was a wonderful, peaceful, and quiet retreat from my work trip. I especially appreciated your very friendly cat friends. I will definitely be back!"
57187,27724258,2015-03-10,532706,Ross,"Fun, unique place close to South Lamar food and drinks. Short Lyft or decent walk to 1st and Congress streets. Lois's cats provide some good entertainment. WiFi is a bit spotty in the room, but a great place otherwise."
57187,27765070,2015-03-11,19082490,Athena,"The place was amazing just like the pictures, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone staying in Austin. Lois was very sweet, and even provides a water boiler and tea for her guests! Her home is located in a peaceful residential area and a short drive to all the hot spots. Thank you Lois! :)"
57187,27809094,2015-03-12,3128739,Rafael,"Lois is great host and will do everything she can to help you.

Would easily stay there again."

Short walk to great restaurants; Lois was a consummate host, greeting me warmly and then leaving me to get things done and enjoy the place."
57187,28423762,2015-03-23,3980805,Charlie,Great host and amazing place! Best little bungalow in Austin!!
57187,28507890,2015-03-24,27017008,Benjamin,"After an unfortunate event on spring brake I knew my girlfriend needed a place to occupy her mind with something else. When I saw the vibrant colors and the incredible amount of sunshine Lois' place had, I knew this was THE place for a quick getaway/launch pad for an errand my girlfriend had to do the next day. Lois is a very nice host and her recommendations on her to do list are spot on! My lady's smile lit up whenever we went in to the colorful and welcoming room, it was good to have her back. Beauty and Bunny were very welcoming, docile kittens; they won't protest or resist when you show them the door for the night. The room was pristine and offered everything as advertised. It is so close to very hip places and new up and coming restaurants, a skip and a hop away from downtown 5-8 bucks in an uber. There's a convenience store within five minute walking distance on Bluebonnet Ln.  I would highly recommend my personal friends to check this place out!"
57187,28629620,2015-03-27,27171701,James,Super quirky awesome experience in a fantastic location near the park. Lois is awesome and helped introduce us to Austin's unique culture.
57187,28889808,2015-03-31,28695658,Heather,"As college students visiting Austin on a road trip, this peaceful haven was the perfect place to stay for our first trip to Texas. Located in a wonderful neighbourhood and close to most of the places we planned on hitting in Austin, we couldn't have asked for a more convenient location. Lois also was extremely helpful in giving recommendations of places to eat and things to see while on our short trip to Texas. We will certainly be back to Austin soon, and will hopefully stay here again !"
57187,29164803,2015-04-05,26390285,Mikey,Lois was amazing! The space was as described and Lois was warm and welcoming. It was walking distance to all of the things that I love to do in Austin. 
57187,30164248,2015-04-18,30020154,Bev,"Lois greeted me when I arrived and was just as friendly as could be. The place itself is welcoming. The mermaid gate alone says, ""Hi. come in. Be at home."" The bed was comfy, the pillows abundant, the not water HOT and plentiful. I liked that there was a water dispenser. Friendly cats. And birds tweeting everywhere. It's really a haven. It's minutes from downtown and everywhere I needed to be. Darling neighborhood."
57187,30311924,2015-04-20,18897191,Brent,"Stay here! you wont regret it. Lois was the perfect host and I look forward to staying here again. She greeted me on arrival and briefly showed me the space. The space is just great, nice and quiet and about an $8 uber ride to most of Austin's great spots. "
57187,30580346,2015-04-24,31160675,Rob,"Quite an enjoyable time and got some much needed R&R @ this funky, cool stay. Thank you, Lois for having such a wonderful place!"

57187,31533341,2015-05-06,30762130,Allegra,"Our experience in Austin was amazing. We had such a great time exploring and it was nice to come home to Lois's cozy and eclectic home each night. It felt a lot like going ""home"" and not back to a hotel. We loved it. If we ever return to Austin, there is no doubt where we will stay. "
57187,31638545,2015-05-08,29192580,May,"Lois was so welcoming! Her incredible style made for an amazing spot to stay. She had great recommendations for us in Austin, as well as our next stop in New Orleans. Both she and her assistant, Charity, completely made us feel at home."
57187,31938207,2015-05-12,10438068,Mike,The place was adorable and a great introduction to Austin.
57187,32299693,2015-05-16,5454599,Tyler,"Lois and her personal assistant were helpful and thorough.  They notified me of a potential issue due to the weather and provided contact if there was any issue.  The location was as listed, with a helpful book of instructions, and coffee, tea, and water available.  The room was very comfortable and cozy.  The futons were futons.  Wi-fi worked well and the bathroom accommodations were adequate.  Extra points for a shower head tall enough for me!  

Lois was a peach.  I was in a rush and didn't get to spend much time with her but think I would enjoy having a nice cuppa with her talking about the world.  

Location was fantastic for downtown and Zilker Park access.  Neighborhood was great.  $4 Uber to downtown and you could walk/bike to some great places south of Lake Austin easily as well."
57187,32440913,2015-05-17,5607423,Laura,Lois is an AMAZING hostess! So knowledgable and welcoming. She makes you feel right at home! The accommodations are very clean and comfortable and the neighborhood cannot be beat! She's a local artist - and it was a joy just to be around her warm and positive energy. So happy with our stay!
57187,32823918,2015-05-22,30556378,Samuel,"We had a wonderful time in Austin. Lois' place was very fun and quirky. If you are looking for something unique in Austin, this is it. Great location, which made it very easy to get downtown. Zilker Parker is an awesome neighborhood as well. Lois was super friendly. She greeted us and toured us around her amazing home. She gave us amazing recommendations and was an unbelievable host. We will be back for sure. "
57187,32948199,2015-05-23,9509501,Conor,"Our stay was exactly what we needed. Four 20 something guys traveling across America and stopped in Austin for a night out. The house was unique, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was a $5 uber from downtown so we were delighted. Left early morning after a pleasant stay. 

As or Lois she was an angel. Very giving and kind and more than happy to share her stories. Highly recommend. "
57187,33279904,2015-05-26,8803864,Emily,"Lois is a great host. She is kind and generous. She'd check in every so often to make sure we were ok, and she was very respectful of our privacy. 
The space itself is awesome!! It is so cozy and fun. All of the options of pillows set us up for maximum comfort. I really felt at home. 
The location is great as well. There are a few places to walk to if you're willing to do that. It's a very inexpensive uber ride to places if you choose to use uber. 
I absolutely recommend this funky and fun space to anyone who's up for a cool and peaceful experience. "
57187,33624028,2015-05-30,17045568,Andy,We had a great time staying at Lois' cozy little funky guest house. Very cool and eclectic and embodied the Austin vibe. 
57187,33831001,2015-06-01,4666660,Jake,Lois' place was great! Her house has true character in the most fun way. It was quiet and serene in the Zilker neighborhood and a great place to venture into downtown.
57187,34566460,2015-06-09,4244440,Robert,"Although we never were able to meet Lois, she made us feel welcome with plenty of good communication. We know that she would have immediately been available if anything were amiss.
Nothing was lacking, however. NIce little place to stay.

We enjoyed ourselves completely. THANKS!!"
57187,34962857,2015-06-14,28482146,Tyler,"Had a great time and experience at lois' place. I would love to book this same place again in the future, great location and so much fun getting everyone together in one room. "
57187,35758683,2015-06-21,23406252,Philip,"Our stay was an experience in itself. The owner was very organized and creative. She provided a variety list of things to do, see and experience while in Austin. In addition, the neighbors were friendly, the location was central to everything and we had a great time building our own fort with all the pillows and blankets she provided. Also, she was extremely responsive and we were able to book the day of stay. Highly recommended!"

Her place is absolutely beautiful and full of handmade artwork and paintings that had the perfect Austin feel. The futons were comfortable and there was plenty of space. She had coffee, water, and tea available. The bathroom was clean and comfy. We were also close to everything, including downtown, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, etc. All in all, I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you, Lois! :) "

57187,39214960,2015-07-21,6082884,Kelli,"I am so grateful I found Lois's place on Airbnb.  It was absolutely beautiful, fun and serene.  My 9 year old daughter was in Utopia.  She LOVES colors like most kids and she went nuts!  Lois is a great communicator and was on it from the beginning.  I had and knew everything I needed to get there and stay there.  Thank you Lois for your art, your inspiration and the love you put into your home.  The cats just made it even better.  OMG.. they are so sweet.   This was my daughter's favorite party.  She is a cat girl and could not believe how sweet the kitties were and how they just came in to hang for a bit and then leave.   My daughter and i have never gone on vacation together.  I have been in school/internship for almost 5 years.  So, I'm working now and this was a very special trip for us.  Zilker park place confirmed we did it right!    Peace and love,  Kelli and Mia"

57187,41555996,2015-08-07,22734028,Sergio,"I really enjoyed staying at Lois' place during our stay in Austin. Check in was super flexible, my friends and I biked to the house and took a long rest before heading out again. The space is very groovy and is perfect if you're with a group who appreciates that style. Note that the space is not as large as it may seem on the pictures at first. As far as beds go, the futons are only moderately comfortable though the massive amounts of pillows definitely help. 

Lois herself is sincerely great host. I had a pretty painful accident while biking and she made a big effort to help find antiseptic and healing products!"
57187,42017655,2015-08-10,24311161,Celeste,"We came to stay for RTX, and wished to stay forever. Lois was kind and welcoming. Her home felt comfortable and calming. We would love to stay again."
57187,42367025,2015-08-12,41066498,Landon,"Louis was awesome, nice, and very accommodating for the short notice I gave her when needing to rent her space. Her space was in the  best location of Austin and was very reasonably priced. It was also the most aesthetically interesting place to stay as well. Clean and quiet as well."
57187,43082153,2015-08-17,21467899,William,Lois was very welcoming and hospitable during our stay. She provided a list of restaurants to try and sights to see. We were extrmeley pleased with our stay. The home was fun and eclectic and the neighborhood is close to everything the city has to offer. 
57187,43403453,2015-08-19,7958075,Kandren,"Lois is a sweet positive fresh breathe of air.  Im always happy around her.  When I enter through her large door and walk down the blue path all my worries go away and my mind and senses are busy absorbing all the beauty my eyes are seeing.  I love the new backyard!  The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.  We travel back here every year with our daughter and enjoy the sights and sounds of Austin.  Lois has watched our daughter grow up.  She loves sleeping in the loft.  With the new railing on the loft, I don't worry about her falling off now."
57187,43595910,2015-08-20,1227072,Joel,"Lois' studio was awesome, fun, colorful, relaxing, and true to the pictures on AirBnB.  My kids and I enjoyed the studio, the loft, the futons, and relaxed environment of the studio as well as the authentic Austin art and SoCo living.  Lois was fantastic, sweet, and intuitive about our needs.  I would certainly recommend this to any of my friends who wanted an authentic and well-located South Austin experience."
57187,43693186,2015-08-21,31112265,Andrew,"Lois was genuinely kind and accommodating. We were unable to meet during check-in due to our itinerary, but Lois made sure that everything was arranged for our late arrival. We were able to meet briefly in the morning and Lois offered breakfast suggestions. Lois has also compiled a guest book full of information from her and prior guests. Her thoughtfulness and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our stay. The property was exactly as advertised and everything we had hoped for - inspiring. 

The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.

Kids' note: The loft is very, very cool and safe, but you may not know you have a fear of heights...and climbing up is the easy part.

P.S. I forgot a small item at the property and Lois had already found it by the time I noticed and offered to mail it to me."
57187,44143868,2015-08-24,23823111,Lauryn,"Lois was very welcoming the moment we got there. She has a whole booklet giving you a list of things to do and places to eat if you've never been to Austin before. Before we parted ways with Lois she told us if we needed ANYTHING to just come knock on her door and she would be happy to help! The location of her home is so conveniently close to everything, making everything only a 10 minute drive! (unless you're going into downtown Austin) This is definitely where we will stay from now on in Austin. "
57187,44730393,2015-08-28,42326557,Yaqiong,"A cute and colorful house. It's a wonderful time to live here. Lois,Thank you!"

Lois and her crew were so friendly and helpful in getting us settled. 

We had privacy and yet she was available to us when we needed her. 

Thank you Lois, you are a true gem! "

The space is exactly as listed, awesome decor, very private, and a super cool loft! The location is stellar as well. Lois is a great host who is very friendly and leaves a lot of info to make your stay in Austin as enjoyable as possible. She even let me come back and shower after check out time when I got caught in the rain. I loved my stay at this property and would stay here again. "
57187,45896666,2015-09-06,21119206,Sandra,Very kind host and wonderful room and area! We loved it!
57187,46157960,2015-09-08,39246171,Georgia,We had such a lovely experience staying at Lois's airbnb. It is in a friendly neighborhood that myself and my husband felt very safe walking around in at night. There is so much to see and do within a very close proximity and Lois has endless recommendations for food! The space itself has a lovely calm feel and you can really have fun creating your own bed out of the many futons and cushions. We were also greeted by one of Lois's cats which was very nice for us as we were missing our own pets at home. Overall a wonderful stay and we would definitely book here again.
57187,46682392,2015-09-12,1577112,Zack,What a wonderful property and guest house. Such a positive and chill vibe. Lois was so kind and the tea available in the morning was perfect.
57187,47133252,2015-09-15,3220441,Brian,"What a delightful space, and what an excellent hostess.  My grandkids and I loved staying at Lois's place - it was peaceful, artistic, and fun! We had walking access to Zilker Park, and a great Austin experience."
57187,47336375,2015-09-17,1577112,Zack,I had such a great stay at her place... I had to come back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful yard and guest house.
57187,47726408,2015-09-21,4453412,Alex,"Lois greeted us and gave us a quick rundown of the space and her expectations. This space is so unique, and I think we noticed a new piece of yard art each time we stepped outside. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and convenient. "
57187,48684136,2015-09-28,35658974,Lilianna,"We chose this place primarily due to the location, and the pictures which showed a vibrant, colorful environment. Upon arrival, our senses were delighted with art as far as the eye could see--and some very considerate details for guest comfort. My family and I revisited our old city of Austin for a wedding, and we wanted our stay to be special. Lois' charming place delivered a peaceful retreat, in a fabulous neighborhood, with character that definitely helps to ""Keep Austin Weird"". We will be back, and certainly hope to stay with Lois--and her adorable little kitties. "
57187,49772501,2015-10-06,13736785,Becky,"Our stay at the Peaceful Haven during ACL fest was great.  Lois' place was as described and may actually have had more amenities than listed (mini fridge, hairdryer, iron).  We enjoyed the quick walk to the festival through a safe quiet neighborhood, the clean and comfortable accommodations, and the visiting kitties!  Though we didn't get to meet Lois, her assistant was there to check us in and even gave us a ride to the fest on Friday morning.  We look forward to staying again sometime!"
57187,50968008,2015-10-16,26265583,Jen,"We enjoyed our stay at the Peaceful Haven. It's just an Uber ride away from all of the action and literally walking distance from Zilker Park. All the art and the funky fresh feel is very cool. Our favorite perk was Lois's kitty, Beauty. :) She is so sweet and such a snug bug! She was right there to welcome us in and came by in the morning to see us off. 
Overall, it was certainly a unique experience. It really set the tone for the rest of our experience in Austin, which was AWESOME!I think for the price we paid I would prefer a bigger shower, a more comfortable bed, and maybe a breakfast roll but as with anything, there are trade offs. We could get all that at the Holiday Inn but no cool art or pretty kitties :) "
57187,51284685,2015-10-19,41558081,Melissa,"Everything was as described - welcoming, peaceful, clean, and private. We loved the neighborhood and it couldn't have been better located for the wedding we were attending. The house was perfect for us with a 6 month old (not yer crawling). I wouldn't try it with a toddler who wanted to climb the ladder,  but I really appreciated that our baby was welcomed. I also loved all the care that went into decorating the house and the garden. Each day I discovered a new treasure to admire while we sipped our freshly brewed coffee. We only got to meet Lois briefly on our last night as she returned from a trip, but I'm glad we got at least that much time to say hello! "
57187,51927023,2015-10-25,9994945,David,"Lois was very accommodating and the space was exactly as described. We were very comfortable and cool. This is located in a very quite residential neighborhood, but is very centrally located. While we we're very happy with our stay, one should be aware there is no storage space such as dressers or closets, so expect to keep all your belongings in a suitcase during your stay. This was fine for us, but may not be for those who like to unpack."
57187,52108527,2015-10-26,21961811,Joshua,Very comfy and peaceful retreat in an excellent location!  Lois couldn't have been a more gracious host - wonderful experience!
7842104,44046860,2015-08-23,41555558,Levi,"(5/5 stars) The listing was completely accurate, great modern apt.  The hostess was very flexible in the fact that after I initially made the reservation, we were coming in a day late and she refunded the first day and worked with my schedule. She was very accommodating and always within contact via text, phone call, or email. The only downfall was that there was no Wi-fi. This was not a problem for me because I was staying with family that I hadn't seen in years so we were actually able to spend more quality time together. If Wi-Fi is an issue, then there is a 24 hour coffee shop right next door. Overall great apt and great hostess, will definitely stay here again when I'm back in the area for just a few days. "
7842104,46051823,2015-09-07,21486405,Carolina,Great location and great apartment! We had a great time at Rebekka's place. She left nice tips around her place and some fruits for us to enjoy..
7842104,46759194,2015-09-13,41645878,Sunil,"Rebekka’s was kind and hospitable – it was like staying at a friend’s place.
The condo was clean, organized & very comfortable.  It is a really cool place to stay and less than 10 minutes ride from everywhere fun; such as downtown.  
I would definitely stay there again!"
7842104,47732739,2015-09-21,41727015,Lyn,"Rebekka was very accommodating and understanding with my schedule and such a sweet host. Checking in and out was a breeze. The listing description was spot on and exceeded my expectations. Also, the location was perfect since it was so close to everything. I would love to stay here again the next time I am in Austin. 

"
7842104,50290814,2015-10-11,9504036,Edwin,"Rebekka is a wonderful host. She was very well prepared, had notes with instructions, and was sweet to leave welcome chocolates for us. Her place was very clean and nicely decorated.  I have to say Rebekka has a very good taste. My friends and I had no problems whatsoever and enjoyed our stay. There is a street mall with a pharmacy, Starbucks and plenty of restaurants a block away. The place is not super close to the venues of interest, but it is close enough to take Uber without paying much. "
7842104,51288431,2015-10-19,24585531,Tamika,"This is the second trip to Austin with an AirBnB stay and we enjoyed every moment. Rebekka's place is well decorated and the beds were incredibly comfy with nice linens and towels. Those are touches that really count after a long day of exploring. And speaking of, we were minutes from downtown and close to Zilker Park and and Barton Springs.  We would definitely stay here again!  "
7842104,52687946,2015-11-01,42413395,Nina,"Our stay in The Modern Riverside Apartment was comfortable and convenient. The apartment was clean with all of the amenities needed. We were a short drive to the sights and sounds of Austin and enjoyed the trail along the lake just a short walk from the apt. We also appreciated how responsive Rebekka was. She provided dining suggestions and entertainment links, as well as answering any questions during our stay. Thanks Rebekka. "
7981857,47818961,2015-09-21,1513973,Michael,"My wife and I visited for a weekend to watch a football game over the weekend at the University.  Marianna was very responsive and communicated well leading up to, during, and after our visit.  The amenities were all very nice, clean, and well maintained.  The air conditioned unit and fans were a welcomed luxury after spending a few long days in the heat.

The location was right on campus (the Westside) and was close to a few bars, a few fast food chains, and convenience stores.  It had all we needed for the weekend.  It would be about a 30 minute walk to get to 6th street and about 45 minutes to Rainey St (we took an Uber when we went out which was only like a 5 or 10 minute ride), so if that is more of your goal, it's a short drive from there.

The building itself was well maintained and the unit was on the top floor of the eight-story building, providing good views east towards campus and the football stadium.  There was a vending machine downstairs and a indoor gym that was accessible (although, we didn't use either).  It did have a somewhat younger vibe to it (i.e., students did live there), but that's what you get when you're right on campus.  

The unit was quiet and barely noticed that anyone else was on the same floor.  It was well decorated, had nice and comfortable furniture.  The water pressure in the shower was a little lower than our preference, but was certainly reasonable and fine.  The bed (a full) was smaller than what we normally sleep in (a queen), so that was just a small surprise, but didn't cause us any heartburn or lost sleep.  We were there for a short time, so didn't really use much of the other silverware or cups or plates, but certainly felt comfortable if I had to.

Marianna was very accommodating as a host and only have positive things to say at this time.  Would certainly recommend for people that want to be close to campus.

"
7981857,52072558,2015-10-26,38674737,Mary,"This Austin Airbnb was everything we could have hoped for and more! The description was perfectly acculturate, and we felt very at home in the space.  Every amenity was available, and was very convenient to local bars and restaurants. We had an amazing experience and would definitely come back again!"
920034,28214323,2015-03-20,19863733,Guy,"The Cottage at Duval Garden is such a quaint and exquisitely crafted one bedroom home. Paul is a fantastic host who responds quickly to all and any requests. He was very welcoming and the cottage did the rest. Seriously, this place is such a warm and lovely place to stay in. Thank you so much Paul. It really was a pleasure staying here."
920034,29869055,2015-04-13,30169128,Nicole,"This was a wonderful experience!  The cottage is gorgeous, the neighborhood perfect and the hospitality generous!  "
920034,30414996,2015-04-21,141660,Kathy,"I was a little shy about staying somewhere with only a few reviews, but The Cottage is everything that it looks to be, only better.  It's newly made, well-constructed, efficient, fresh, smart, comfortable, surrounded by a beautiful garden, serenaded by birds, with hosts who are considerate & welcoming.   We loved the location in Hyde Park, just a few blocks  to restaurants, coffee, bakery.  My husband and I stayed for a week and never felt cramped. If possible, the Cottage only seemed to get better over time.  Julia and Paul are great hosts, and good people.   "
920034,30949286,2015-04-29,20271215,Adam,"I could not have asked for a better host than Paul. The space was even better than I expected. The cottage is beautiful, spacious and clean and the garden made the perfect spot to have some coffee and breakfast tacos outside. The local beer and wine waiting for us in the fridge was an unexpected addition that I greatly appreciated. Paul was always ready to provide anything we needed and was incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond. I would recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
920034,31382591,2015-05-04,4225709,Jillian,"We had a wonderful time staying at the Cottage. Paul and Julia were very accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed. The place itself is very well kept, clean, and quaint. The garden was in full bloom and quite a sight to see, going out on the patio in the morning was just lovely. I would recommend staying here to anyone coming to visit Austin!"
920034,33375952,2015-05-27,29654813,Hayley,"Thank you so much Paul and Julia for being so accommodating! Our honeymoon was saved by you (after a cancellation from another host) and perfected by you! The cottage was perfect, a home away from home, we had our creature comforts and the location was amazing! Hyde Park is a gorgeous location, near to downtown without it being imposing. We can't thank you enough for sharing your cottage, home and gardens with us. "
920034,37975310,2015-07-12,33306477,Derek,"We spent six weeks at The Cottage in the course of relocating to Austin.  From the first point of contact, Paul was responsive, considerate, and honest.  We exchanged (usually at his initiative) a number of emails before the stay began, and as a result showed up well prepared for our stay.  He is uncommonly thoughtful and it made for an easier transition for us.

We are a family of four plus one large dog, and the Cottage had everything we needed.  Paul was quick to advise that we may not have extra space, but there was certainly enough to live comfortably.  The property, which is a separate unit behind Paul and his wife Julia's home, is well designed to maximize the square footage.  The living room couch folds out, making the rental function fine as a two bedroom.  The kitchen and bathroom are stocked with all necessary amenities, and there is a surprising amount of storage space.

The garden itself is a true passion for Paul and Julia, and was a delight to walk through each day.  Again, the couple went out of their way to show my two young children all the wonders of the space - flowers, vegetables, frogs, a fish pond, chickens.  Every day something new was blooming or hatching, and Paul was eager to involve his guests in the process (without ever overstepping and always respecting our space and time).

Incidentally, the neighborhood is central to everything great in Austin and makes for wonderful night time dog walks and early morning trail runs.

I can't say enough good things about this space and its welcoming, gracious owners.  I recommend it without reservation and would be happy to answer any questions you may have about it."
920034,39831199,2015-07-26,36218250,Christine,"Paul and Julia were excellent hosts. As soon as we arrived, we were welcomed with a friendly email full of local/informative austinite tips that made sure we got to visit the best spots. The accommodations were extremely clean and perfect for two people to live comfortably. Paul and Julia's hospitality was unmatched (they invited us into their home for drinks and continued to check in with us to ensure we had the best time possible). We highly recommend this airbnb for anyone looking to have a true austinite experience!! "
920034,42662038,2015-08-15,29135017,Jenifer,"Paul and his wife are very friendly, thoughtful hosts. They provided everything we would need for our stay and were very responsive to any requests that we had. I feel like they went beyond my own expectations to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. When an issue popped up or we had any questions, they were very quick to respond and offer assistance. Their garden cottage is simply adorable. It is the perfect size for two or three people and was very well thought out. The garden provided a very quiet, relaxing setting. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay!"
920034,43701983,2015-08-21,38294998,Carlos,Paul was great!  Answered all of my questions in a very timely manner.  He easily accommodated my late arrival.  Everything was as described.  Quaint amazing place in Austin.  The fridge had beer and filtered water ready to go.  I will stay here again when I'm back in the area.  
920034,44188601,2015-08-24,40424491,Shireen,"Our hosts Paul and Julia were out of town during our stay, but they sent timely text messages welcoming us to Austin and their cottage, with instructions describing everything we would need to know.  We were surprised and pleased to hear that the fridge was stocked with complimentary wine and beer which we thoroughly enjoyed!   Both the cottage and the neighborhood were charming-- and we were very comfortable in the cottage and would stay there again.  Thank you for a wonderful stay in Austin!"
920034,45977346,2015-09-07,16681397,Donna,"Paul and Julia are amazing.  The cottage is beautiful and they made us feel so welcome.  Paul even opened up his own home to my daughter and her boyfriend to watch a UT-Austin football game.  Can not say enough. If you are looking for beauty and the true feeling of Hyde Park this is the place.  Paul and Julia have a beautiful perennial garden.  The cottage has the most updated appliances-even a dual washer/dryer in one....
Paul and Julia have put a lot of work into making this place feel like an oasis for those of us who use airbnb.   Would not hesitate to return.  If it is available, book it!!!!"
920034,49014601,2015-09-30,14729348,Chris,"When I arrived everything was as promised. The cottage is perfectly designed and comfortable. It's well located and I'm easy walking distance to several great restaurants, a super coffee shop and a cool small grocery store. I stayed for 3 weeks and couldn't have had a better experience!"
920034,49883295,2015-10-07,20271215,Adam,"This was my second time staying at the cottage. Both times I had a wonderful stay. Paul is an excellent host and the building and grounds are gorgeous. I'm especially fond of the garden out front. A great place to sit and have coffee and some breakfast tacos. Paul was always quick to make sure we had everything we needed, and of course we always did. I would recommend the cottage to anyone staying in Austin."
920034,50178390,2015-10-10,3687412,Raghu,"Paul was the perfect host.  His cottage was a peaceful break from the busy city life.  Beautiful flowers greet you as you walk on the path to the cottage.  Great location too - lots of good food nearby, and just 5-10 minutes from downtown through uber.  I will gladly stay at Paul's place if available next time in Austin."
920034,52038882,2015-10-26,230587,Deanna,"The cottage was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Austin. It was cozy & comfortable - we felt like we were at home. The location is perfect. Walk a few blocks up the street to an intersection that has multiple places to eat (all of which are really good!), or a quick 10 minute drive will have you in downtown Austin. Paul & Julia were wonderful hosts, and available when you need them but give you total privacy.  We were lucky enough to also spend time with them and they are amazing people. Can't wait to visit them again!"
4463099,32015811,2015-05-12,3285340,Michael,"We found this comfortable place in a nice sleepy part of the old residential downtown area. There is a convenience store and a great licensed cafe a short walk away, and some cool bars and eats on 7th St East just a bit further. We slept well on the beds and the kitchen was well fitted out.

Note this property is managed by a company, not the owner, so all communication goes through them. Also, no Internet access, wifi or cable was available when we arrived due to technical problems, you may want to check that it's back on before booking."

The house is always very clean. The people who live there are friendly and very respectful. It’s a great place for studying and relaxing; it is always quiet and there is always free coffee. If someone is going to UT the place is particularly good, since Andrea gives free rides to the university.  Andrea and George always try to help everyone in the house. I can only say thanks for a great experience!

272814,28203571,2015-03-20,25865909,Lauren,"My boyfriend and I stayed in the classic peach zen room in March 2015. Our stay was beyond pleasant and more then we expected. We arrived at the airport and Andrea was there to pick us up in minutes. We arrived to our room that was very clean, tidy and had everything that we needed. The kitchen was always stocked and Andrea does a great job making sure you feel at home. The bathrooms were also very clean and pleasant. I would without a doubt stay here again. Andrea is an amazing host that bends over backwards to make sure you are comfortable and content. Also her ride service is great for those who don't have a car and want to go places. I highly recommend staying with Andrea! "

272814,31268011,2015-05-03,7883666,Cindy,Andrea is a most gracious host. I arrived at supper time and so she took me to a local Taiwanese restaurant. She was quick to make sure I had everything I needed. The location is SUPER convenient to north/central Austin. Room was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen area was great and  accessable to all guests. There are a total of 12 rooms - check them out! You'll find one the is just right for you.
272814,47147665,2015-09-16,22992482,Doug,Everything was fantastic! Highly recommended for anyone working short to mid-term at UT.
8294659,50236489,2015-10-10,4415136,Danel,Michael's apartment was extremely convenient for attending ACL. It was also in a quiet location that wasn't too far away form downtown so getting around was convenient. Michael was also extremely easygoing so the experience was seamless. 
8294659,50333144,2015-10-11,10957839,Kyle,"We were in town for ACL, and Michael's place served our needs perfectly for the evening. It was a short 20 minute walk from his doorstep to the festival entrance. The place was clean, and Michael was very communicative, making sure we had everything we needed. Dart board is a nice touch. Would stay again if I needed a spot to crash for the festival in coming years!"
7563522,42041476,2015-08-10,39465118,Joon,"My friend and i stayed at Jonathan's house for 2 weeks. Jonathan was friendly and accommodating.

Friendly environment, and the guys were super good about making sure we had ideas of things to do around town. Private bathroom was great, and having our own room with keys gave us space. Definitely enough room for three people. "
7563522,45338376,2015-09-01,14265300,Christian,"J-Walk is a legend! If you're in Austin, you've got yourself a car and good vibes then this is the place. We felt right at home, J took care of us like we were part of the crew and The Cereal Box was kick ass. 

Highly recommend this crib"
7563522,47022874,2015-09-14,25317355,Brent,"Unfortunately I had to return home early and barely had a chance to stay at Jonathan's. He is a friendly, high spirited person, and I'm sure he would have been a good host. For the price, the accommodation is a good value, including a private bath in an upstairs unit. Two friendly and totally harmless pups. Quiet neighborhood not too far from town. Would visit again next time. "

It is very modern, elegant and not ""cluttered"" like many houses.  The owner made it so easy to access and there is added security (the front do locks automatically after about 10 minutes. So spacious and cozy.  The beds make for a great night sleep and everything you need is easily accessible.  I'm so glad we got to stay here. Beautiful home!"
4749486,24885637,2015-01-03,8676763,Sean,"The Treehouse is a wonderful place to stay for 2-4 people. Pete was a super attentive, kind, and informative renter and helped our group with some last minute planning due to bad weather. The home is quaint and well kept, with a large back deck.

The neighborhood is very nice, feels safe, and with plenty of restaurants and and bars within a 15 min walk (some sparser options are closer). There's also a huge park off the river that is an easy walk from the house.

Thank you Pete for all your help and a wonderful stay!"
4749486,26824856,2015-02-20,1138649,Nikki,"My partner and I stayed in the lovely upstairs ""Treehouse"" apartment for a week. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient, an easy walk to restaurants and bars, and a short drive from downtown. The apartment itself was cozy, but very comfortable and clean, and Pete was a very welcoming host who left clear and helpful directions for us. A great find!"
4749486,27600464,2015-03-08,27244857,Lynne,"Communicating with Pete prior to checking in to the Treehouse was very easy. He provided all the information we needed to arrive and settle in. The apartment is a nice size and the bed is comfortable. We were very pleased with the location - the neighborhood is quiet, but close enough to walk to several places (if you like walking) - The Launderette is around the corner and there are quite a few bars/restaurants/shops along E Cesar Chavez that are close by. Overall, I don't think we could have asked for a better first time airbnb experience! "
4749486,36784077,2015-07-01,33155721,Iliana,"Our family stayed in the treehouse for almost a month. Pete is a great host and responds quickly to any questions. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you might need for a short or long stay. It is very spacious, bright, and comfortable. The bathtub and the skylight in the bathroom is amazing. Very relaxing after a long day. The apartment is in a great neighborhood (East Austin). There were tons of food trucks, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, bookstores, and fun stores to explore. Almost all within walking distance. I was doing research at the UT library and took the bus daily (21/22). The bus stop was conveniently located at the end of the block. My toddler loved all the parks and splash pads in the area. Overall, a great place to stay (especially if you are traveling with kids). "
4749486,41351551,2015-08-07,9270983,Jessica,"Pete's place is lovely. I'm a writer and got a ton of writing done here. The vibe is peaceful and tranquil, and so sweet especially with Mrs. Ramirez next door tending to her flowers. The converted attic space is well done, albeit with a few quirks to make everything fit and work. The hardwood flooring is absolutely gorgeous, and Pete is a gracious and responsive host. The *only* drawback to this space is that you have to duck down quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it to someone especially tall, as I'm only 5 foot 5 and hit my head a few times. "
4749486,48401034,2015-09-26,40598454,Zach,We were in town for a wedding and had a great time at the house. We were short walks to a few restaurants and shorter ubers to downtown. Instructions were very clear and thorough.
4749486,49986931,2015-10-08,3067855,Jordan,Great place! Alan and Pete were really helpful in getting us all setup. 
4749486,51341093,2015-10-19,5223930,Clare,"We had a lovely stay - the place is very well located, and comfortable. "
6895131,40682112,2015-08-01,39384350,Bill,"The house was perfect for what we needed.  The pictures posted were descriptive and accurate.  
The house was prepped and very clean when we got there.  It was well stocked with towels, soaps, kitchen utensils, cleaning supplies, etc.
We really enjoyed being in South Austin as there is so much to do.  You are right down the street from Barton Springs pool, blocks away from some yummy Trailer Food stations, a quick walk to a little traditional Mexican bakery with great breakfast tacos and a ton of other restaurants and site seeing.  
This house is in a great location that allows you to avoid all the major center of Austin traffic.  The neighborhood was quiet and nice.  If you are traveling with more than one family, parking could be an issue but the driveway can handle two cars easily.  
It has a very nice backyard that is well shaded by trees and has a nice patio.  
"
5094332,25826289,2015-01-26,26381844,Rachel,"This was our first AirBnb experience, so we weren't really sure what to expect. Don and Zak however completely exceeded our expectations. Even though we didn't get to meet Don, he made sure we were taken care of.  Zak, the young man he left in charge, was awesome! He kept in contact with us leading up to and during our stay. He promptly met us with the key, showed us around the apartment and even suggested some places we should check out during our stay. The apartment was really cool, with lots of neat art and, everything we needed. All in all, I can't say enough good things about it. The afternoon before we left, you could hear jazz music playing from the apartment below, which we found to be really cool! All in all it was a great experience :)"
5094332,27074647,2015-02-24,24844631,Brandon,"Don and Zak are both very busy people, and were still able to make our stay great! Very accommodating, from getting us checked in and showing us through quickly, to an easy and swift leave. The place is as posted, warm and cozy.
 Don, told me about a place called Paco's Taco's which is a very, very short walk down the sidewalk outside of the complex. I ended up eating there almost everyday. Also, just down the street you have a grocery store and several other stores that made our stay even better. I checked out tons of coffee shops while here and all were close by. I guess what I am getting at is this place was in an extremely convenient spot. You have all your basic needs near and if you want to go try out Austin, you don't have to go far. The complex is right off of the highway, which made going down for a quick bite and happy hour on 6th a non daunting task. 
In the listing it say's the woman down stairs may play Jazz pretty loud, but I never heard it. I was actually excited about that part. I never really saw too many people that were staying in the complex as well. I did however talk to one man who saw me pulling my guitar out of my car and found out he was in a band in Jamaica. Nice surprise!  Nice people. Very quiet. We were never disturbed.
We really enjoyed our stay and plan to keep Don in our pocket for the next time we come down to Austin.
We definitely recommend.  "
5094332,28477197,2015-03-24,14397468,Chae,Had an amazing time in Austin thanks to Don and his apartment. Great place & really relaxed with loads of places to eat and not far from downtown. Would definitely come back!!!

342039,2550976,2012-10-08,3725262,Sandy,"What a fantastic space, and what a great family of hosts.  Personable and attentive, they were very thougtful hosts who took good care of us.  We had a great stay in an amazing space.  Should I find myself back in Austin it would take even less than a heartbeat for me to book this guest house again.  The house itself has space to spread out and live for our time in Austin.  The location is very nice - it was easy to get downtown and out and about, for sure.  And it was a hip warm space.  I could have just hung out in the kitchen all day, which is a great feeling when traveling with a toddler!  Thank you so much to the host family for opening up their guest house to us!  It was like a little dream come true.  "
342039,2676384,2012-10-21,3871638,Robert Gannon,Joey was super nice and very easy to communicate with.  We enjoyed staying at this location and can't wait to visit again!  The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. Joey left us some very nice breakfast treats which were unexpected and much appreciated.  The proximity to downtown was great and his restaurant recommendations were excellent.  We really enjoyed our stay and can't recommend it enough! 
342039,2750160,2012-10-29,3762833,Jessica,"Joey and his beautiful family were absolutely wonderful. They were very helpful even before we arrived, making sure we had directions and were there to greet us when we arrived. The guest house was amazing, the fridge was stocked with breakfast goodies and water, which was a total surprise and very thoughtful. They offered recommendations for good local eateries and ideas for things to do around town. They really went above and beyond for us, for which we are very grateful. We really loved our stay with Joey and his family and I know for certain we will stay there again when we visit Austin!"
342039,2902158,2012-11-17,1518835,Russ,"Joey has been a perfect host -- Their guesthouse is just as advertised, perfectly located close to downtown and all that Austin has to offer.  Clean and tidy. Highly recommend.  Dozer, the black lab is an added perk :) "
342039,3053493,2012-12-09,1518835,Russ,"I've had the opportunity to review Joey's place a couple times. It's been a wonderful overall experience, the guest house is great and Joey and his family are amazing.  Cheers! "
342039,3440031,2013-01-29,4796513,Michael,I couldn't have been happier staying here.  Absolutely a wonderful experience that I would take over any 5 star hotel.  Joey and his family were so nice.  Also very solid location.
342039,3594825,2013-02-20,4838616,Shobita,"Joey & Steph are awesome! The guest house is exactly as in the pictures and we are so happy we stayed here. They really go the extra mile to make sure our stay was perfect. The house was in great condition and  they made sure everything from tea/coffee to bathroom accessories was top quality. Couldn't have asked for more. Very good location wise as well - easy walk to downtown. If I came back to Austin, I would definitely stay here. Thanks Joey & Steph!"
342039,3760191,2013-03-12,3167385,Andy,"Lovely place, and Joey went out of his way for us - from bagels in the fridge to ""here's my number in case you get arrested."" Highly recommended."
342039,3814427,2013-03-18,3116503,Brian,Joey was extremely friendly and helpful. The guest house is very nice and was the perfect lodging for our stay in Austin during SXSW. Highly recommended.
342039,3891197,2013-03-25,5165502,Sheilagh,"What a wonderful experience we had with Joey, his family, and the beautiful guesthouse. They thought of everything and were hugely informative as to where to go to eat great food and listen to amazing music. Highly recommend!"
342039,3981163,2013-04-01,5280939,Jen,"Joey and Steph are the kindest people ever! I had an awesome experience staying at their guest home in Austin, TX. The home was immaculate and very clean. They were accessible and always checked in to see if we needed anything at all. They were even nice enough to have the fridge and kitchen fully stocked with breakfast treats and everything you would need to make it through your stay. They had only the best amenities, like soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the house. Plenty of fresh towels and extra pillows were available. I would definitely recommends staying here to all my friends. It's very convenient to the lake and also to downtown Austin."
342039,4078266,2013-04-08,1646302,Mallory,"The guest house had more than everything we needed - beautiful breakfast stuffs provided by our hosts, great linens, super comfortable couch & bed, nice bath products. It felt very much like home. And the price was reasonable too.
It's located in a neat neighborhood with some houses that look straight out of Dwell, some that have that whole ""keep Austin weird"" thing happening and other pretty normal houses too. Close enough to downtown to walk (about 20 mins) and also close to a bus that makes it pretty easy to get downtown and around. East 6th St is close by (7-10 min walk) and a nice place to find hipster bars, tasty food carts and tons of back patios with string lights. Nature is nearby too - while taking a morning run along Lady Bird Lake I saw baby turtles, birds and even a little baby crocodile! (or alligator, one of those)
Joey and Steph are such good people. If I ever move to Austin I'm definitely petitioning for them to be my new best friends. They know when to leave you alone and don't hesitate to offer help if you need it.
Top notch stay here. Book it before it fills up!"
342039,4149337,2013-04-14,4976916,Steve And Mariana,"Great location and very warm inviting environment.  Was perfect for a business trip and such a pleasure to come back from work to such a quiet relaxing ""home"" atmosphere.  Joey was a great host.  He frequently check to make sure I had what I needed with the changing weather.  Also, I look forward to brewing some of that unique coffee this morning!  Thanks for making a business trip more enjoyable!"
342039,4184373,2013-04-16,1495565,Nick,"Joey's guest house was a perfect place to crash during our excellent weekend in Austin. He was very accommodating and helpful. His dog Dozer was a fun addition too. Overall, it was a great experience.

The house is a little bit of a walk from the heart of downtown (1.5 miles) but it's doable. You could always rent a car or take the bus. For this price, it's definitely worth it.

Thanks Joey, we'll be back!"
342039,4270400,2013-04-23,2967438,Patrick,"Well, the family critic--our three year old daughter--gives this place a glowing review. Close to playgrounds and water with animals to look at worked well for her. And the adults in the group had a blast being so close to town! Food truck village a few blocks away made for some excellent post-6th Street eating :) Joey was a great host; there when you needed things but not intrusive at all. The accommodations were super clean and very nice. Our daughter was sad to leave ""Mr Joey's house"" and talks about our weekend still. We had three adults and one toddler and fit very well. I'd recommend ""Mr Joey's house"" to anyone wanting a quiet, super clean, and very cute place close to all that Austin has to offer. Wonderful stay!"
342039,4361222,2013-04-30,5450178,Lisa,"Myself and 4 of my girlfriends stayed at the guest house and had a great experience! We each had a place to sleep and the house was extremely clean and lovely. It's air conditioned too which was nice since the days became hot! Steph and Joey even left us some breakfast foods and let us use a bike, and we loved seeing their dog Dozer in the yard. It was in a good location as we moved around all of the pockets of Austin. I would defintely recommend this house to anyone traveling to Austin."
342039,4494716,2013-05-08,2673569,Crystal,"Joey and Steph's guest house was perfectly accommodating. From the balcony to the tub to the yard, we enjoyed every minute we spent there. 
They are super easy to communicate with. The apidomy of southern hospitality, we were brought freshly ground coffee on the night we arrived. 
We'll be back! Highly recommended. "
342039,5159248,2013-06-16,5835984,Cade,"Had to work out of Austin for 5 weeks, and couldn't imagine a better place to stay.  The space is awesome, comfortable, clean, and very roomy.  A short walk to the hike and bike trail and minutes from downtown where I was working, I couldn't imagine a more convenient place to hang your hat for a short (or long) stay.  Joey and Stephanie are extremely accommodating to anything you might need.  If I could give 10 stars, I would."
342039,5216873,2013-06-18,6672137,Jane,"This guesthouse couldn't be better!  It was very clean, comfortable, and had all the necessities and much more. The hosts were very accommodating and made the house available for both our very early arrival and late departure. I would return in a hearbeat!"
342039,5285856,2013-06-22,6933615,Nicholas,"My wife, my 3 year old son & myself enjoyed staying here. Perfect place to stay at near downtown. We enjoyed the guest house itself very much- very nice decor, cozy & very well kept. Stephanie & Joey were very friendly, inviting & helpful. We look forward to staying here again next time we are in Austin!"
342039,5326398,2013-06-24,6645130,Juan,"Joey and Stephanie were great hosts, very nice. Loved the decoration in the guest house. 
Looking forward to staying there again"
342039,5604017,2013-07-08,6426085,Vince,"If you're in Austin, you must stay here! Close to downtown. House is clean and decorated beautifully. Very cozy. "
342039,5786677,2013-07-16,6105665,John,"Joey and Stephanie were good hosts. Their guest house provides plenty of space, and it's a good deal for the Austin hotel market, which can be pricey in the downtown area. It's nice to have a kitchen too! Just a short drive to the University, downtown, South Congress, etc. Recommended.  "
342039,6261568,2013-08-05,7717154,Kara,"Joey and Stephanie far exceeded our expectations with their beautiful guest house, flexibility, helpfulness, etc. The house was well decorated, cozy and fully stocked (breakfast foods, dishes, shampoo/conditioner, iron, washer/dryer, tv, furniture, internet, you name it)!  

Although this house sits on their personal property, we we're able to come and go as we pleased without feeling like we were intruding on their space or vice versa. This place quickly felt like home and walking distance to many of Austin's bars/restaurants.

342039,6447181,2013-08-12,5599721,Yunuhen,"My Husband, two daughters and I went for the weekend to Austin and I'm so glad we found  a great place to stay. Joey's Guest House is very clean, cozy, well equipped, and we loved the decorations; definitely stylish!   Very quiet & safe neighborhood and easy access to all the attractions. Excellent family host! We fell in love with Dozer (their happy dog) Thanks for sharing your guest house with us."
342039,6522627,2013-08-15,7291391,Daniela,"Staying at Joey and Stephanie's is exactly what airbnb is all about - soaking in the local flavor, eating and drinking at nearby favorites, and feeling at home when you're far from it. There is no place like this one and if you're staying in Austin, you should do yourself a favor, stop looking and stay at Joey and Stephanie's. We've stayed at dozens of airbnbs, hotels, and motels during our summer road trip and this Austin find was, by far, the best one yet. It's close enough to all the Austin weirdness but far enough away to go back to their place and chill out for the night.

The only downfall would have to be that it was hard to leave the great home-brewed coffee, the cozy breakfast bench complete with delectable morning goodies (like strawberries and English muffins which Stephanie so kindly provided for us), the ridiculously comfy couch and satellite TV, the uber plush bed and pillows, and all-in-all the awesomely decorated and perfectly air conditioned private guesthouse.

We're looking forward to our next Austin visit!
"
342039,6627111,2013-08-19,7592959,Heather,Our stay here was phenomenal! The home is beautiful inside and out. They were extremely hospitable and accommodating hosts. I would suggest this home to anyone looking to stay in Austin.

342039,7043203,2013-09-04,6993894,Michael,Joey and his family are great hosts. Their guest house was very comfortable and the amenities were top notch. They also provided us with breakfast and recommendations on places to check out while we were in Austin. I highly recommend contacting Joey and arranging a visit. 
342039,7253311,2013-09-13,8189082,Jerry,"Joey and his family made our trip to Austin a blast. The house is great, and so is the location. The hospitality was above and beyond. They stocked the fridge with delicious breakfast food and amazing coffee, and had a notebook full of bars and restaurants to check out. They were really nice people who made us feel comfortable. The house was clean and secure, and we were able to walk or bike everywhere in Austin from there.

It's a great choice and we'll stay here again in a heartbeat!"
342039,7365667,2013-09-17,3022953,Robert,"Joey and Steph were wonderful hosts. Their guest house was well appointed and located in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. My wife and I felt like we were at home, and I'm looking forward to staying at Joey's next time I'm in Austin.  "
342039,7466889,2013-09-21,4342404,Joseph,This was a short stay as I was in Austin for business.  Joey and his wife were amazing hosts that go above and beyond to provide a great place to stay.  It was nice to stay somewhere that felt more like home than the hotels where I normally stay.  Thanks!!!

342039,8282194,2013-10-23,9171734,Matthew A.,"Great apartment in original grid of Austin. Two bedrooms. Joey and his wife have gone to the nth degree to decorate in a deeply tasteful style with nice little Buddha touches, a Persian rug on one wall, and a French press for morning coffee. Will definitely try to stay there if/when my travels find me in Austin again. Highest recommendation."
342039,8370803,2013-10-28,8753550,Rachael,"Our every expectation was exceeded staying in the guest house. The accommodations are beyond comfortable, the location amazing, our hosts so welcoming and Dozier, their stunning Black Lab, was beyond sweet.

"
342039,8685138,2013-11-12,2030130,Christine,"We had a great experience.  Perfect location, within walking distance of a bunch of cool bars and restaurants in East Austin.  Plus only 30 minutes into downtown walking, although it's easy to call a cab as well.  House was more than enough room for two of us, and loved having a full kitchen and washer/dryer.  Joey and Stephanie were the perfect hosts, will definitely look into staying here again.  "
342039,8905268,2013-11-25,4671062,Charlene,"I'm bummed I never met this lovely family, but the weather was a little unexpected AND we were there for such a short trip.

I really can't think of one negative. It felt like home. There were strawberries in the fridge, the house was preheated for us upon arrival, a few lights left on, hand-written recommendations... was the warmest welcoming.

I totally left with interior decor envy and maybe some inspiration for my next place. 

This is a great part of town/location and amazing hosts. Cheers and I hope for a longer stay at this place next time."
342039,9030746,2013-12-02,9442133,Aria,This is a wonderful place to stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the house itself is gorgeous; beautifully decorated; and very cozy. Location was fantastic too. Highly recommendable.
342039,9146555,2013-12-09,6545909,Connie,"We had a great stay at the guesthouse.   Joey and his beautiful family were very nice.   It was unseasonably cold during our visit but the space heaters kept it nice and warm.   Very convenient to everything.   Great list of places to dine and things to do.   We used the air mattress they provided and it was very comfortable.   My son came over and cooked us a great meal in the very nicely eqipped kitchen,  has everything you need,  unless you need a microwave.   The whole place was beautiful,  got a lot of decorating ideas.   We would recommend this place,  and when we go back to Austin will stay here again."

342039,9442815,2013-12-29,9687830,Andreia,"My kids and I had a great stay at Joey and Steph's guest house.  Although we didn't have a chance to meet them, the house was in great shape and they were kind enough to leave milk, juice and some fruit for our stay.  It was pretty chilly during the two days we were there, but the space heaters did a great job warming up the house.  Joey and Steph blew up an air mattress for extra sleeping room and the kids reported it was super comfy. 
We loved the decor in the guest house and it was clean, neat and cozy.  It was located in a very convenient location and close to all the things we wanted to do.
It was very easy to communicate with them and we really enjoyed the experience.  
I would recommend Joey and Steph's guest house!"

342039,9859050,2014-01-14,7505383,Susan,"If you choose to stay in this charming Garden House, you will not be disappointed!  Joey and Stephanie have created a beautiful ""home away from home"" -- sparkling and beautiful!  They go the extra step in making sure the refrigerator is stocked with breakfast items requested by you --- not to mention the delicious coffee!  You will love meeting them (they are so helpfu!l), along with their daughter, Lola and black lab Dozer.  We would definitely stay there again!  With so many positive reviews, this home will be in great demand!"
342039,10080177,2014-01-29,8940656,Omar,"Joey and Stephanie's place is cozy, clean and a great location for everything you want to do in Austin.  We would definitely stay there again.  We loved the way they decorated the place, the bed is really comfortable and the snacks they left us was an added bonus.  We used many of Stephanie's suggestions in the house manual for food and drink and she was right on.  Very pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it."
342039,10163708,2014-02-03,10040660,Stephen,"Great experience. Thank you for making us feel at home. If I go to austin, I will definitely try and book with Joey. Thanks!"
342039,10278211,2014-02-10,4084301,Julie,"We had a very short stay, but got to meet Joey when we arrived.  He is so incredibly friendly and helpful. The guest house is so cute and actually much larger than we had expected.  The neighborhood is so convenient, we would definitely stay here again! "
342039,10377985,2014-02-17,6151057,David,"We had a great time staying at Joey's place.  It is located in East Austin which is a really cool neighborhood.  There is a fun speakeasy-style bar called the Weather Up just nearby and a strip with tons of food trucks and great bars/restaurants not far away.  I made a point to stop at Cenote, a fantastic local cafe with really friendly baristas, on my morning walks to the Convention Center downtown.  It's a quick and really pleasant walk.  The house itself is very comfortable and plenty spacious.  They stocked the fridge with breakfast goodies, which was very nice.  Their dog, Dozier, is also a sweetheart and greets you happily as you set out in the morning and return home at night.  It wasn't a complete day until I had played with him for at least a minute.  Overall, we just had a really lovely stay and I would highly recommend Joey's place to anyone."
342039,10489584,2014-02-21,12323162,John,"Could not have had a better time, great location!

Hosts are beyond gracious and very friendly."
342039,10920297,2014-03-13,6016726,Sandy,"The Guest house and main house were fantastic. We enjoyed staying at Joey and Steph's places. A short 15 minute walk to the convention center made this a great location for us. The property was tidy and comfortable and beautifully decorated. 

The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome--they even offered to greet us upon arrival when my flight was delayed until the wee hours of the night. 

We indulged in the awesome, delicious coffee Joey's dad roasts daily. I cannot complain about our stay here one bit. You'll have a great time here. "
342039,11137158,2014-03-22,12997290,Staci,"Amazing space to stay while visiting the Austin area!  Joey and Stephanie made us feel very welcome with breakfast foods our family requested and a comfortable space to relax after busy days of Austin activities.  They accommodated our family of four very well with a great comfortable queen bed in the private bedroom, a huge couch and queen air mattress.  Lots of little details made the house wonderful....Fresh ground coffee beans, hair dryer, books, movies and even a few local beers in the fridge. A home away from home! "
342039,11283235,2014-03-28,2215176,Gillian,"I cannot say enough positive things about our stay at Joey and Steph's beautiful guest cottage.  Joey and Steph were extremely accommodating and friendly hosts, who really made the experience an A+!  They really went out of their way to ensure we were happy and were easy to reach during our stay for questions.  The house is furnished beautifully, and feels like a relaxing retreat.  The location is super, close to downtown and was especially good for vegans like us with three yummy vegan friendly cafes in close walking distance.  
 I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin. "
342039,11507080,2014-04-06,421291,Erin,"This is the cutest house ever. The property is gorgeous and Steph had everything that we could possibly need already set up. The location was great for the East Side activities we had planned. Coming and going was a cinch. The neighborhood has character, which I liked. Thank you guys for a great stay!"
342039,11593798,2014-04-08,13109253,Harry,"Welcoming, very nice hosts. Funky off-beat place on a quiet street, yet very central. Spacious kitchen and nice front yard. Weather Up bar was very a very cool hangout just down the street.  Had a totally awesome (email hidden) on Rainey st.  Would definitely stay here again!"
342039,12334332,2014-04-29,11817489,Jordan,We had an amazing time at Joey and Stephanie's place! The location was absolutely perfect and the house was more than enough space for 3 of us. It was very clean and Stephanie even called before we arrived to see if we had any preferences/allergies for breakfast items she could provide for us. They left a notebook with recommendations and addresses for all their favorite local spots around town which was very helpful! We would love to stay here again next time we visit Austin :)
342039,12537499,2014-05-05,1339851,Aliza,"I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. The location is perfect, the inside of the guest house is eclectic in the most comfortable and relaxing way and Steph, Joey, Lola and Dozer are just the cutest. Steph proactively asked if we needed any recommendations while visiting before we arrived which was welcoming and appreciated. There is also a great list of recommendations on the kitchen table. We were a party of four using the air mattress and it was totally enough space for everyone to be comfortable. The communication prior to the visit was awesome. Seriously, this place rocks!"
342039,12786762,2014-05-11,4042577,Billie,"The house is lovely and Stephanie and Joey have thought of everything. It exceeded all of our expectations!! 

The house is located in a lovely area, really close to a couple of good bars (for dancing go to the white horse) and a place to hire bikes (pedal pushers).

I wish we could have stayed for longer."
342039,12964763,2014-05-15,15376173,Lindsay,"Joey and Steph,

Thanks so much for having us. The guesthouse was great - large and roomy with funky yet functional furnishings. A well appointed kitchen and close proximity to the city also made our stay most enjoyable.

Thank you for the helpful tips and for letting us borrow your umbrellas!"
342039,13060033,2014-05-19,8502919,Greg,"Joey and Steph were great hosts.  They made everything easy and accommodated a last-minute special request without hesitation.  The location is close to downtown, making driving in the Austin traffic as tolerable as possible. The very pleasant guest house is located in a culturally diverse and eclectic neighborhood that we enjoyed. We would definitely recommend their guest house for a stay in Austin. "
342039,13414930,2014-05-27,13755907,Caitlin,"Our experience with Joey and Steph went beyond our expectations. Their guest house is immaculate, comfortable, and beautiful.

342039,14165285,2014-06-13,16188203,Colleen,We enjoyed Joey and Steph's place in Austin.  There is much more room than you would have in a hotel and I thought that the kitchen and upstairs sitting area were particularly great.  Joey and Steph were very gracious hosts and are more than happy to address any needs or questions that their guests might have. I would definitely recommend their place to anyone visiting Austin.
342039,14327332,2014-06-16,16665808,Sena,"This place is exactly what you would expect from their description. It's a great, private guest house that is very close to downtown and many eateries on the east side. The house was clean and is much bigger than I expected. My husband and I met with the hosts briefly and they are a very nice couple. I highly recommend. "
342039,14444910,2014-06-19,123060,Loosie,"Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The guest house was impeccable,  plush and divine. The personal touches, the generous supplies, the handwritten recommendations were all so splendid. The amenities were all as described and even better than expected. 
Could rave on for 500 words but you get the gist! Would and will stay here again whenever possible."
342039,14544447,2014-06-21,16925503,Patrick,"Absolutely amazed at how awesome this place is. Just look at the pictures! The sheer number of little details they put into their guest house is amazing. You're not just spending time in their spare space, you're living in a real home chock full of personality. As hosts, they're awesome: easy to talk with, willing to help with every little question or problem. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Austin ever again."
342039,14984954,2014-06-30,16424165,Kacia,Joey & Steph were wonderful hosts. The guest house is beautiful decorated & immaculately clean. Their book of recommendations was perfect and their location is very central. This guest house made our girls weekend amazing! Thank you both!!

342039,15770198,2014-07-15,16625247,Jennifer,"Joey and Steph were amazing hosts! The guest house is decorated wonderfully and felt so homey right from the get-go, with fruit, coffee, and milk available in the refrigerator as well as a great book detailing all kinds of suggestions for what to do in Austin.  Parking, check-in, and check-out were simple and easy. We really enjoyed our stay in Austin. "
342039,16154540,2014-07-22,706616,Phil,"We had a great stay.  Ours hosts were pleasant and friendly.  The guest house is nice and the bed is comfy.  We had everything we needed.  An added plus is the location, it is a few blocks from the lake and kayaking or paddleboarding.  There are great places to eat nearby.   We like staying in east Austion "
342039,16871704,2014-08-03,11571175,Kamie,"I wish I had gotten the chance to meet Joey and Steph (although I did meet their friendly dog Dozer!), they were incredibly welcoming and responsive through the entire stay! The last few days of my journey were packed with trying to hit up a few East Side hot spots (loved all the recommendations in the guest book!) and viewing apartments, their guest house was the ideal retreat after a busy day. They were also kind enough to be flexible with my check-out time; thanks again for making the stressful task of searching for apartments a much more relaxing one! :) "
342039,17033136,2014-08-05,160248,Stephanie,"East Austin awesomeness! This was our first time using Air BnB, and Joey and Steph made it an easy and enjoyable experience. Not only were they incredibly responsive, but their guest house was perfection - comfortable, completely private, and convenient. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
342039,17325520,2014-08-10,19603447,Bryan,This place had a comfortable  bed and the decor was nice. We enjoyed the great location and will be back. Thanks. The Tates
342039,19595364,2014-09-15,15425754,Lindsay,"We spent a month at Joey and Steph's- what a great place to call home! They were very friendly, laid back, and always available if you need anything. The place was clean and comfortable with great air conditioning! You are close to bars and restaurants- check out the book of suggestions they have- very helpful. We enjoyed the easy access to the Lady bird lake trail as well. Thanks y'all for making our stay feel like home!"

342039,20810629,2014-10-06,13823697,Amy,"Great location for getting to Zilker park, downtown Austin, and Eastside bars.  The owners are very friendly and the breakfast treats (muffins, bananas, etc) were a nice touch!  The bed was great and the air mattress was surprisingly comfortable.  And the coffee was very good. "
342039,21192546,2014-10-13,4149111,Benny,"From the moment we contacted Joey and Steph, they made us feel extremely welcomed and comfortable. They truly went above and beyond by making sure there were some small personal touches in the guest house to make us feel welcomed (fresh ground coffee, apples, bananas, etc.). The guest house is located in an excellent area, quiet enough to be relaxing, but great access to all the wonderful things Austin has to offer. It is a space that automatically feels familiar as soon as you walk in. Joey and Steph are charming and hospitable and their suggestions helped make this trip to Austin one of the best we have had. Hope we cross paths again in the future!"
342039,21956516,2014-10-27,21385579,Shay,"Highly recommend staying at Joey & Stephs place, we had a fantastic time in Austin. House is the perfect location."
342039,22164424,2014-10-31,15962049,Emily,"A great few days in Austin. Lovely guesthouse with all you could need, loved the decor, welcoming hosts, great restaurant recommendations and a charmingly friendly dog. Walkable access to downtown along the river (30mins walk) and close to Rainey Street (15 mins walk), quiet and pleasant neighbourhood. Thank you Joey and Steph!"
342039,22287722,2014-11-03,6510919,Jeffery,"We enjoyed staying at Joey and Steph's guest house! It was nicely decorated, the bed was great. The house had fast internet there were a few items in the frig to get us started. It is an easy walk to the main activities on 6th street. Gettting the keys and checking out was trivial.
We will stay agin if we can next year!"
342039,22837669,2014-11-16,42505,P.J.,"We had a fabulous time at Joey and Steph's place! Not only was the place really spacious (could have easily slept 5 people!), clean, warm, cozy, and well-decorated, but Steph baked us fresh cookies and had food in the fridge for us in case we were hungry! It was wonderful. Easily one of my top airbnb experiences so far. To top it off, we're right in the heart of East Austin and blocks away from tons of restaurants and bars. Steph also had a very personal booklet of places to visit and see - which beats any yelp review. We would have walked everywhere if it weren't for us visiting on the coldest weekend in Austin history! :( Either way, we will be back and will definitely stay here again! Thanks Joey and Steph!!"
342039,23116857,2014-11-23,7431037,Jasmine,Very welcoming and accommodating. Perfect location and great to have your own guesthouse with all the fixings!
342039,23269543,2014-11-27,22804011,Courtney,"This home lives up to the photos and more. The zen environment is excellent for everyone.  The home sleeps so many and they accommodate to little ones as well. They helped by putting starter snacks in frig which made our vacation off to the right start. So close to where you wanna be in Austin. No matter what you want to do it's just right around the corner. 
We will stay again and again. "
342039,23974939,2014-12-15,5994344,Jay,"This is a great guest house in a very hip and cool neighborhood.  It was larger than we expected.  It's really more like a one bedroom house.  
Everything was cleaned to a very high standard and everything smelled fresh and clean.  
The furnishings were all high quality and comfortable.  There were lots of extra little touches that made our stay terrific.
The hosts are really great people.  They are extra-milers.  They went out of their way to make sure everything was wonderful."
342039,24538155,2014-12-30,23463085,Jada,My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Joey and Steph's. The guest house was wonderfully eclectic and immaculately kept.

We had told them that we were coming to Austin, in part, for the great vegan food, and they thoughtfully suggested a few fantastic vegan places right in the neighborhood.  

The little house was perfect for three of us. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. And the location was great, we were able to quickly drive into town and to go for morning runs along Lady Bird Lake, a short distance away.  Highly recommend! "
342039,25120911,2015-01-06,1534512,Amy,Great cozy guest house in East Texas. Joey was great and the house was as listed. Very sweet dog and all the amenities for a nice homey visit. Thanks guys! 
342039,25653789,2015-01-22,22696004,Claire,"We enjoyed a marvellous two weeks staying with Joey and Steph recently. The house is extremely comfortable and, very importantly during an unseasonal cold snap, was super cozy and quick to warm up. 
We found everything we needed in the kitchen and really felt as tho we were in a ""home away from home.""
This was a great introduction to AirBnB for us as we found the listing to be precise, detailed and completely correct in all respects; we also found the whole process of booking straightforward and easy.
We will definitely try to stay with Joey and. Steph and their delightful daughter when we revisit Austin. 
The final pleasure for us was having Dozer in the yard to play with and pat!"
342039,25816560,2015-01-26,21247379,Paul,"I don't know why I would stay anywhere else in Austin. The house is well equipped and well located, just a few blocks from great restaurants and bars, but on a quiet, tucked away street. Joey and Steph are great hosts and they strike the right balance of being there when you need them and giving you space otherwise."
342039,27314685,2015-03-02,2569097,Peter,"Such a great place to stay! Private, clean, and comfortable. I stayed and worked out of the guest house for four weeks. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again!"
342039,27582899,2015-03-08,14208638,Korey,"This was my second stay here and it was just as great as last time. Joey and Steph were very welcoming and the place was clean and comfortable. The place is warm, quiet, and the couch upstairs is great for napping.  The location is very convenient to all the must see, drink , and eat places in Austin. Thanks for letting me stay there again!"
342039,28639646,2015-03-27,17198560,Corey,"Joey and Steph were so welcoming and helpful at the last minute trying to find a place to stay.  The place is just as it looks and so comfortable and clean. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin, awesome neighborhood."
342039,29083344,2015-04-03,396641,Marika,"Our stay at Joey And Steph's guest house was great. House is beautiful and very stylish, located in the most hip area in Austin. Very clean, very friendly - thanks for drinks in the fridge. Hosts are super and easy to communicate with. We surely want to come back in the future! "
342039,29167218,2015-04-05,26766874,Mark,Dozer was the perfect host. He has his biped servants(Steph and Joey) trained well to meet every need. He keeps an impeccable and fun house in a really great location. The entire setup is very hospitable. We can't wait to get back!
342039,30199363,2015-04-19,28033301,Bridget,"Joey and Steph were great hosts as they went above and beyond expectations. Our flight arrived a little late into Austin, but they were very accommodating. Also, the fridge was stocked with plenty of breakfast options including delicious coffee! The property was very accurate in description and photos. The photos might not even do justice on just how updated, comfy and inviting the house is. There was plenty of space for the two of us, probably could have invited another couple to join our trip. Parking out front was never an issue, but with this location, everything is within walking distance. "
342039,30758601,2015-04-27,5389381,Jonathan,Steph and Joey! Thanks again for letting us stay at your amazing guest house in Austin Texas. My wife and I visited the great city of Austin last weekend and stayed at Steph an Joey's guest house. The guest house is absolutely great. We would trade it in for our one bedroom apartment in the Bay Area. Not only was the apartment great Steph and Joey had all sorts of treats for us in the fridge. The both of them took the time to welcome us and tell us all that Austin has to offer. Our trip to Austin was absolutely great! We will definitely visit Austin and the guest house again in the bar future. 
342039,31643875,2015-05-08,642419,Michele,"The hosts are fun, lovely people and their dog is super friendly! The back patio is a shared space so we saw our hosts on occasion which was welcome and always a pleasure! Being our first AirBnB experience we were very happy. "
342039,31896188,2015-05-11,5977295,Elena,"This is a beautiful little place to stay in East Austin. It's incredibly well cared for and very clean. Joey and Steph were very kind and helpful with lots of suggestions of what to do in the area. They have the place stocked with everything you could need including bathroom amenities like shampoo, soap, hairdryer and towels, most anything you'd need to do light cooking, spices, tea, and even drinks in the fridge. The bed is very comfortable and has just about every type of pillow to choose from. There are a number of good places to eat within walking distance (Launderette was amazing!) and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe. We always found street parking easily. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we return to Austin. It was the best airbnb experience we have had so far! "
342039,32479744,2015-05-18,12988442,Luke,We had a great stay at Joey and Stephs guest house!  Easy access..Area was close to downtown.  Very welcoming!

It was really nice to find some breakfast treats in the fridge and to have our own quiet space during our stay. I would definitely stay here again. "
342039,32902189,2015-05-23,21615775,Maria,"Steph and Joey were amazing and so nice! The property was clean, perfect size, beautifully decorated, and in a convenient location! We will definitely be staying again when we return to Austin. They have a dog, but the dog is so friendly and was not at all aggressive.  "
342039,33681762,2015-05-31,31312672,Marie,"Lovely place to stay, quiet, safe, clean, close to downtown really what more could you ask for! Close enough to get a B-cycle at Saltillo plaza, or the MACC and ride around town lake, get ready for looks from locals if you join a group ride (which I did! Ha!). Great restaurants nearby. 
The furnishings were beautiful, with lots of nice details. Astounding wall of books (as if you have time to read while you are in Austin, but still fun to peruse!). Comfy bed, lots of pillows to choose from. Gorgeous bathroom, very clean! Kitchen is well stocked with all you need to make a meal if you really didn't want to go out and sample the amazing foods Austin has to offer. Felt like a home away from home. Joey and Steph are great folx who go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need! "
342039,34704013,2015-06-11,31126448,Genette,"We had a great time in Austin and found this a perfect base to get around the city, with plenty of choice within walking distance too which was good for us as we had no car!

342039,36034659,2015-06-24,4976916,Steve And Mariana,"It was my husband's second stay and my first at this apartment.  We thoroughly enjoyed it.  It has a wonderful peaceful sense about it. It is clean and spacious.  Joey met us at the gate, with their friendly dog and both made us feel very welcome.  The apartment is in a very quiet, peaceful area with lovely restaurants close by.  We will stay there again."
342039,38980204,2015-07-20,12376669,Jason,"Here's all you really need to know: the location is great, the house is awesome, and Joey and Steph are two of the most wonderful people you're likely to meet. Book it without hesitation.

My wife and I stayed for almost a month with our 6 month old son. It was the perfect space for a small family. It's cozy, very tastefully decorated, and it's got everything you need for a short or long stay. The kitchen was fully kitted out if you want to cook, the shower was great (i.e. heat + pressure = awesomeness), and the couch upstairs should be in Austin travel guides as a great place to take a nap.

The house is in the heart of the east side, which is bursting at the seams with food trucks, bars, lounges, and coffee shops. Many of these are a short walk or a bike ride away. There's also a park a few blocks away. If you're coming to Austin for a vacation, there's really no reason to stay anywhere else. 

What really sets this place apart is Joey and Steph, who were amazing hosts. They were super responsive, kind, interesting people that made us feel at home instantly. Are you still reading this? Why haven't you booked it yet?"
342039,40943803,2015-08-03,36823755,Coralee,"This was my first time using airbnb and it was wonderful! The family was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

342039,42933862,2015-08-16,13264728,Kyra,"One of the most inviting Airbnb's I've ever stayed at! Joey and Steph were welcoming, friendly, and provided just the right amount of privacy and hospitality. The guest house was in great condition, everything was clean and well kept. They even set up a comfy (no really it was) air mattress for our extra people. The location was great-just a short Uber ride or walk away from Rainey Street & downtown.

The house was comfortable and quiet, cozy and well appointed.The location is fantastic and strolling through the neighborhood to fun eating stops was a great change of pace for us. We would recommend staying here, we had a great time!"
342039,44963287,2015-08-30,561192,Pol,Everything was very nice as shown in the photos. The neighborhood is well located by car and we really enjoyed Austin

342039,47617870,2015-09-21,31574376,Patti,"Stephanie greeted us when we arrived and was very welcoming!  The fridge was stocked with muffins, fruit, yogurt, etc. The kitchen was great to have for cooking when we didn't want to go out, or just for breakfast before heading out.  The neighborhood is older, but seems to be in a state of revitalization and the house was decorated so cute!  It is close to the downtown area where the trendy, hip bars and restaurants are located, too!  "
342039,48700990,2015-09-28,13871365,Jessica,"My friends and I loved this guest house. It was comfortable, in a convenient location, and and downright charming. Steph and Joey were unfortunately out of town while we were there so we didn't get to meet, but they came off kind and laid-back in our correspondence. "
342039,49419753,2015-10-04,31250152,Brandon,"We loved staying here! Great location within walking distance to the lake as well as restaurants and bars! The place was so homey, comfy, and clean - if we get to come back to Austin we want to stay here! Steph and Joey were the best hosts, so friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Getting to pet their sweet pup was also a nice surprise, as we were going through withdraw from our dog at home!! Stay here, you'll be happy you did :)"
342039,49987053,2015-10-08,41745313,Erica,We had an absolutely wonderful time at Joey and Steph's guest house! It was easy to find when we arrived and our hosts were very welcoming and friendly. The space is super comfortable and relaxing - it was great not to have to come back to beds being your only place to sit down! It felt private and homey. Bed is super comfortable! We would stay again in a heartbeat. 
342039,51106901,2015-10-18,30438163,Angela,Joey and Steph have a beautiful home in a great location! They were very welcoming and provided great restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend this listing.
342039,51745645,2015-10-24,6423859,Julia,"Couldn't think of a thing that would make this place any better. From the initial correspondence with Steph and Joey to the final check out, everything was perfect. The house has is perfectly located in Austin to be convenient to anything a visitor could possibly be interested in seeing/doing. Steph and Joey know Austin and are able to recommend the perfect coffeehouse, food truck, cocktail bar or neighborhood restaurant depending on their guests' tastes, and it doesn't stop there. They provide local guides, magazines and literature full of ""things to see and do"" while visiting Austin, so plan to stay long enough to get the full experience. I highly recommend their place and look forward to staying there again - soon!"
1411548,7080757,2013-09-05,8385966,Julie,"Elese was a great host!  Her little studio was exactly as described, very comfortable and perfect for two people.  And it's super close to all the cool shops and restaurants in SoCo.  Communication was also excellent.  She even provided suggestions for things to do and see in Austin!  My husband and I had a wonderful time."

1411548,10041661,2014-01-27,8524888,Amanda,"We enjoyed our stay at Elese's studio apartment. Before we arrived, she provided us with reccomendations for the area. Since we visited Austin for wedding planning, she even gave me some personal reccomendations for hair stylists. Elese was flexible with arrival and departure, which was very convenient for us. The apartment was very cute, clean, and comfortable. It was the perfect size for 2 people and was in a prime location for visiting, in our opinion, the best parts of the city. The surrounding neighorhood was quiet, definitely making for a peaceful night's sleep. We would definitely reccomend Elese and her apartment! We hope to stay there again! "

1411548,10918278,2014-03-13,2636898,Daniel,"This is a great apartment, cosy, affordable and in a perfect neighborhood. It is only 30 minutes walking distance from downtown and through two of the coolest streets in the city: South Congress and 1st Street. (both full of bars, restaurants, stores, etc.). 

Even though I didn't have the chance to meet Elese she was very flexible with times and she always replied to my texts and questions. She is a great host and I will definitely recommend her place!"
1411548,11001497,2014-03-17,11135559,Julia,We stayed in Elese's apartment for a weekend during the SXSW. It was a great location to enjoy the city and festivities. The apartment was clean and we ate out and shopped in many of the recommendations that Elese left us. Thank you for having us.
1411548,11155453,2014-03-23,12678792,Lori,"I came to Austin on business. Elese Rose's place was perfect for my two day stay. She recommended fabulous places nearby and it was a walk (if you like to walk) to the fun and funky South Congress area. Super quiet neighbors on the weekday. The area is up for a party on Friday night, but quieted down by 11p."
1411548,11577019,2014-04-07,5685444,Rachael,"Elese and her apartment were perfect! The place was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Elese was very accommodating, helpful and nice. We will definitely try and stay here again next time we are in Austin."
1411548,11758572,2014-04-14,6824240,Landon,"Elese's place was as advertised - warm and inviting. 

Check-in and check-out were smooth and we experienced no issues during our stay.

We'd definitely stay here again."

1411548,13925186,2014-06-08,14615865,Karen,"Had a great time staying at Elese's cozy & cute, studio that was filled with positive vibes. This was my first time using airbnb and had a great experience. Elese is super friendly and provided us a great list of things to do, shopping, and places to eat. The apt complex is nestled in a cul de sac, with parking spots, a park down the street, and restaurants in walking distance. There is also a supermarket not too far from the apt (recommend driving there). It is in a gated apt complex. Felt safe walking in the neighborhood but we did drive most of the time. It was nice to stay at someone's home- Elese's place is clean, cheery and positive. The bathroom was nice and clean, stocked with lush towels, and with a pretty fun rain shower head. Had a great experience staying at Elese! "
1411548,14537905,2014-06-21,335485,Kali,We had a great time in Austin. Would recommend for location and privacy. Thanks!

Her apartment is so cute and cozy -- it was the perfect place to stay in Austin! Great neighborhood, close to a ton of amazing restaurants and shops. Couldn't recommend it more highly!"
1411548,14993915,2014-06-30,16757584,Joanne,"The host was great.  UNFORTUNATELY, nothing else in the apartment was.  It was filthy.  No TV or WIFI as advertised.  Very BAD experience."
1411548,15340173,2014-07-07,16641662,Alex,Elese has a great place in the perfect location! Would love to stay again.
1411548,16159853,2014-07-22,17987261,Fernanda,"Elese's place is really cozy and nice. It is in a great neighborhood were you can find coll restaurants and foodtrucks, and hip stores. It is also near downtown (about 15 minutes on the bus).

Elese is a great host, always looking out for their guests. Her place is a great option at a fair price."
1411548,16506078,2014-07-28,18118649,Justin,"The space was comfortable and the descriptions of the space, amenities and flexibility were accurate. My fiancé and I appreciated how central the apartment was located; it made getting around quite simple. Elese was responsive to our questions and certainly did not lead us astray. All information provided regarding check in and out were accurate. She even stopped by to make sure that we had all we needed. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for a cozy space, close to the pulse of Austin!"
1411548,16641910,2014-07-30,5725273,Catie,"We had a great stay in Elese's studio! The place is super cute, clean and comfortable, and located on a quiet cul de sac with lots of parking (but very close to lots of restaurants and South Congress). We also appreciated having laundry and a pool right there. We didn't meet Elese, but she was really nice and available quickly by text to answer some questions. "
1411548,17010240,2014-08-05,2136865,Stephen,Thanks Elese for allowing me to stay. The place looked great and it was a pleasure to meet you. Exactly as described. I'd definitely consider staying again. 
1411548,17418568,2014-08-11,9743395,Tatiana And Oscar,"Elese's apartment was perfect! Clean, cozy, great location, and just what my boyfriend and I needed for a night in Austin. Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful apartment, Elese!"
1411548,17493570,2014-08-12,19438061,Erik,Very pleased with my experience. Great neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and close to the downtown area. The place was clean and cozy and had many amenities I wish I could of taken advantage of but because my stay was short I really couldn't. If I were looking for a place to stay again in downtown Austin I would not hesitate to stay at Elese's place again.
1411548,17655247,2014-08-15,19515353,Ruth,"Cozy, cute apartment! Loved the location. Very close to both dining and shopping. Shower head was awesome. Thanks for a great stay, Elese! "

1411548,18513627,2014-08-27,20293074,Brittany,"Elese was very accommodating and friendly. The apartment was indeed hip and welcoming, and made for a convenient stay. "
1411548,18863499,2014-09-01,5066739,Amy,"Elese's was extremely helpful. This was my first time using Airbnb and she made the entire process easy, breezy. Because of her I will be using Airbnb more often. She lives in a prime location. Her shower head was cool. Her apartment was hip and cozy. "
1411548,18886528,2014-09-02,18183223,Emily,"We were so happy with Casa Elese! Elese was very helpful in leaving us a list of fun things to do around Austin. Her apartment was just as pictured, and the perfect size for two girl friends on a whirlwind trip to Austin. The rain shower was a nice unexpected addition! It's very well located and is nice, quiet and secure. Would highly recommend this listing to people looking for a clean, well located crash pad for a quick Austin stay! "
1411548,20014022,2014-09-22,1658675,Jennifer,"Super cute, clean and convenient space. Quiet yet walkable to lots of restaurants and shops, and there's a busline nearby that shoots you right up to downtown for only a $1.   "
1411548,20429856,2014-09-29,20174460,Sarah,We had a great stay at Elese's! A good location to walk to the restaurants and bars and could get buses to downtown easily. We loved the apartment which was really quirky and just as listed. Elese came and introduced herself on our first day and was really friendly and helpful with local recommendations. 
1411548,20819778,2014-10-06,86787,Jessica,"Great apt close to everything.  The host got right back to me when I had a question and overall it was perfect for what I needed!
Would recommend to anyone."
1411548,21987856,2014-10-27,21358143,Alex,"Everything worked out very well. The apartment is small and simple, but definitely as pictured, clean, and I found the bed very comfortable. Although we didn't actually meet Elese face-to-face, that was totally fine by us and she stayed in touch. She was helpful and accommodating and sent a great list of suggestions and things to do. Location is pretty good - there are some nice places within walking distance and there's a bus that runs downtown. We still found it helpful to have a car for some of our excursions, though."
1411548,22658450,2014-11-11,3369465,Israel,"Nice cute place, close to South of Congress and a short Uber ride to downtown. Very nice and basic place."
1411548,23472219,2014-12-01,2757560,Ana Maria,"We enjoyed the apartment a lot. It is small, but very cute and comfortable. It is very well located, right off 1st street, and 10 minutes from downtown Austin. It was clean, and it provided everything we needed! Would do it again if I'm back in Austin!"
1411548,24212976,2014-12-22,13268672,Casey,"The building has easy available parking, the apartment is small but exactly what we were looking for. We had an awesome time. "
1411548,24991137,2015-01-04,8235297,Devin,We had such an amazing time at the Casa. Centrally located so we didn't drive more than 10-15 minutes to get anywhere. Our host was accommodating and greeted us as soon as we arrived. Very few AirBnB hosts in my experience have done this. The space was more than enough for our tinkering around town and planning on coming back again. 
1411548,25070648,2015-01-05,2631838,Jen,"great location, cute apartment.  elese is a super sweet host!"
1411548,25327843,2015-01-12,16721814,Matt,"Elese's apartment was just as described: small cozy and close to everything. Also, Elese made the check-in and out effortless. I would definitely stay there again!"
1411548,26242733,2015-02-08,24363622,Page,Elese's flat was the perfect retreat for a short weekend in Austin. The free-spirited decor and open layout were both enjoyable and relaxing. Amazing rain shower head. 
1411548,26663255,2015-02-16,12238046,Bilal,"My wife and I had a good stay at Elese's studio apartment. Elese's instructions, directions, and recommendations were all easy to follow and helpful. The apartment was clean and full of character. I would say that it might perhaps be a tad too small for a couple, but it is certainly ideal for a single person. Location is also a big plus. We were able to walk to the fun SoCon area for food, drinks, and entertainment; and yet the apartment itself is nicely tucked away in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. Overall, a good experience."
1411548,27016524,2015-02-23,25550059,Ann,"It is exactly as described, a hip studio.  It is small, good for only 1 or 2 people.  It is a little crammed with the hosts items and not a lot of space to put your own items anywhere, I left my clothes in the suitcase on the floor.  It would be good to have a little more space cleared on the craft table.  I was very appreciative to have a full kitchen, others in this price point did not offer that.  It was a little ways away from the better part of South Congress Street but we didn't mind walking as the weather was nice and the bus was close enough or you could use Uber.  Overall, I thought it was a good, inexpensive option.  "
1411548,28328031,2015-03-22,21946562,Jo,"Flat was compact, but totally fine for 2 people - we stayed for 3 nights.
Had everything really you would need (apart from wifi).  
As per some of previous reviews there were lots of belongings/things around, but didn't find this a problem as it was a short stay for us.
Had a slight issue getting gate code but was able to contact Elese and she was really helpful and prompt in replying, would recommend making sure you have the gate code before arrival.
Elese had lots of recommendations for the local area etc. 
We wouldn't have a problem with staying here again in the future. "
1411548,29502938,2015-04-08,28551360,Kate,The place was clean and comfortable.  It was also a short distance to town! 
1411548,30411280,2015-04-21,18099543,Claire,"This was the cutest apartment perfect for a short girls weekend in Austin! It had all the essentials needed, plus was in the best neighborhood for walking to local faves on SoCo and S. 1st. Elese was super easy to communicate with and made sure we were taken care of - would definitely recommend this listing for a super inexpensive, comfortable, and colorful stay :) "
1411548,31397448,2015-05-04,16450648,Pierrick,"The studio is a fine, compact and comfortable place. It only lacks a little bit of free space for the hosts and the bed was a little soft for our taste. 
We enjoyed our short stay in the hip-studio as we walked down S Lamar and S 1st for a great night out."
1411548,31857025,2015-05-10,25046220,Barrett,"Elese's apartment was perfect! It was so cute, close to everything, and felt really safe. The bed was a little small for two friends but perfect for one person or a couple. "
1411548,31988018,2015-05-12,31543559,Kiel,"Great little apartment with an Austin vibe.  The apartment is a small studio apartment but that's fine because you are in Austin, you shouldn't be spending much time inside!  The location is safe and clean and easy to get to all of the fun stuff on South Congress.  It's also a short cab/Uber/Lyft ride to downtown nightlife (about $10 ride).    Elese left a few guides for the area on the coffee table and also provided some recommendations after booking.  We never actually met Elese but the key hand-off to access the apartment was super easy.  

Also, I love the rainfall shower head in the bathroom!"
1411548,33258763,2015-05-26,28518241,Tim,"Elese had a wonderful little place that was perfect for our time in Austin. It was conveniently located and easy to find. Although the lack of wifi and a television made the rainy days difficult, she had more than enough other forms of entertainment. "
1411548,37371249,2015-07-06,22589133,Victoria,"We enjoyed our stay at casa de Elese :) the place was clean and cozy, exactly as shown in the pictures. Elese also gave us some great tips on places to check out nearby. The bed was quite comfortable but is only full size so might be a little small for some. There is no internet but with everyone having smart phones these days it wasn't really a problem :) "
1411548,44253818,2015-08-24,6162344,Mike & Lacy,Had a great stay at the Hip Studio Apartment! Centrally located with many cool places in walking distance   Also was able to use the pool in the afternoon which was great!
1411548,50564010,2015-10-12,45675167,Katie,"Affordable gem in Austin!!! Great place to stay for a couple or 2 female friends. My boyfriend & I stayed here for ACL, & absolutely loved it!

Elese's place is in an awesome location for a weekend in Austin. As others posted, yes it is small, but if you don't plan on spending too much time indoors it's perfect! The no Internet & TV thst ithers complained of didnt bither us at all as it gave us more time with each other - rather than being wired into the world. Her decorations & style are very eclectic, which as a fashion designer I enjoyed. Just between the art & doodles you'll be entertained for hours. If you feel the need for distractions - bring a laptop like we did & fall asleep to one of the DVD in Elese's collection.

Elese was down the hall at a different apartment during our stay & was super accessible if needed. She even made us coffee Saturday morning, and let us leave our bags in her place all day Sunday rather than them baking in a hot 97°car during the shows.

I  would 100% recommend this to my friends & family."
1411548,52179003,2015-10-26,28225025,Daniel,"Very enjoyable experience. Super cozy space and the location is amazing! You could basically walk to HEB (grocery store) and a bunch of great places to eat/drink. It would be comfortable for 2 people if you are OK sleeping in the same bed or if 1 person is cool with crashing on the coach. Loved the absence of a television, but will bring a small stereo next time. "
5415285,28424559,2015-03-23,7865016,Nicole,"Michaels listing is one of the most amazing authentic Texas houses you'll probably find in Texas.
Lovely garden with sun most of the day, nice lovely living room just like you would image your grand mother house from the 60 - but with an lovely modern touch :D"
5262010,30713014,2015-04-26,26882625,Grayson,"The short and sweet version: Michael and the presented location went above and beyond any and all expectations. We will visit this beautiful location again!

Michael was an absolutely amazing host from the start, even before we had committed to renting this location he was prompt in responding to our questions and concerns, not just about the rental but also, as first time users of Airbnb, about how the rental process worked. After booking the location, Michael contacted us to express his joy at our business but also to inquire as to the reason behind our stay, which was a combo late birthday/early anniversary vacation, which he responded to by leaving us a house warming gift containing a lovely bottle of champagne, chocolates, and birthday/anniversary cards. Closer to the date of our stay he contacted us with detailed information on how to use the amenities in the house, and also provided us with a long list of excellent restaurants and bars for us to check out. 

We were blown away at how amazing this house is, with it's artful landscape and unique design, it looks like something out of a magazine. Entering the house was like walking into a slice of heaven, beautiful doesn't even begin to adequately describe it. Minimalist in design, the subtle touches of decor and lighting not only enhance the experience, but made the surroundings comfortable and inviting. The master bedroom was lovely, the bed was exceptionally comfortable and the bathroom, with it's fully adjustable bathtub and separate shower, were a dream come true. The guest bedroom and bath, while smaller and simpler, were equally wonderful and just as appealing. Moving into the living room and kitchen was a smooth transition, the area was open, well lit and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, cooking appliances and even an espresso machine! The wall of glass windows at the back of the living room allow you to look out at the unique backyard and let in a wonderful amount of natural light.

Michael’s private studio resides just behind the house in which we were staying in. However you could hardly guess he was even there because of the lengths he went through to insure we had total privacy during our visit. On the final night of our visit we invited Michael over for drinks, which he obliged by dropping by and chatting with us for a little while but had to leave shortly after to meet a friend; however he came back over not long after just to bring us ice ball molds because he noticed we were drinking scotch - a random bit of kindness that really brightened our day.

Ultimately, this experience was fantastic. This was our first time utilizing the Airbnb service, and we are so glad to have been graciously allowed to stay at Michael’s lovely home. We look forward to visiting again very soon!"
5262010,31825357,2015-05-10,5321946,Arthur,"I can't say enough about how much of an amazing time my group of friends and I had while staying at this location. We were a bunch of Yankees coming to see Austin for the first time for a friend's bachelor party, and we couldn't have chosen a better location. From the bedrooms, the kitchen, an most importantly the fire pit, we were all very impressed and quite frankly felt lucky to have been able to secure the reservation. Michael is an amazing host, and he took care of us every step of the way while being very communicative and courteous. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, and nice a quiet which at the end of the night is always something to look forward to. We cannot wait to come back down to Austin, and will certainly be looking to Michael for our next visit. Thanks again for helping make this weekend one my buddy will never be able to forget!!!"
5262010,33003484,2015-05-24,28880272,Camellia,"My husband and I wanted to take a quick trip for the Memorial day weekend to Austin, but did not want to stay in a regular hotel. We always thrive on ensuring where we stay is an experience within itself.  After searching for weeks to find a unique place to stay, we found this AMAZING modern contemporary home! We had no idea anything like this existed for rent! We were amazed at how up-to-date the entire home was and how much space it had.  From the moment of inquiring about this property the host, Michael, was PHENOMENAL! Very pleasant and extremely patient; he also gave very fast thorough answers to our questions, and continued to offer his assistance if we had any other questions. My husband instantly booked for 2 nights! Michael also took time to ask if we were celebrating anything special; as he was very personable and accommodating.  He sent our Welcome email as promised, with easy to follow directions.  He also gave a courtesy call to advise of him being away out of the country but ensured we were aware of his reinforcements that would be available for all of our needs; and that he would still be available as well via email or phone/text when not traveling.  Upon arrival, everything was so clean and fresh! SPOTLESS!  State of the art home appliances through and through, and amazing contemporary decor. Stocked with any and everything you can imagine! I was in HEAVEN! The kitchen was a chef's DREAM COME TRUE! So elegant! Plenty linen, towels, blankets, pillows. I'm still in awe of our experience.  Apple TV in the master bedroom and common area.  Even when the horrible Tornado weather knocked out the power and the Apple TV in the common area, Michael arranged someone to come check on us and replace the Apple TV box! He totally catered to us. Did I mention there was a bottle of champagne and a personal note waiting on us when we arrived as well??  The neighborhood was so quaint and quiet; only a few blocks from a nice shopping area!  Michael has went above and beyond with this property inside and out! So many great pieces of art and books to read. There is even a second bedroom and full second bathroom.  Did I mention the jet tube in the master bedroom and rotating swiveling television from the ceiling?  This home is greatness wrapped all into one.  Anytime we come back to Austin, we will definitely reach out to Michael and rent here again. We felt it was home away from home. I actually got sad leaving! Thank you Michael for being so AMAZING! "
5262010,34308694,2015-06-07,32086320,Kelsey,"Our host was INCREDIBLE! From our very first inquiry until the day we left he was extremely pleasant and so helpful. This home was perfect for our Austin getaway to celebrate my sister's bachelorette party! I will undoubtedly go back to this house for any event or weekend getaway I plan on making again. We also rented another home owned by Michael right next door and it too exceeded our expectations. Both homes were exactly like the images and in both houses we were greeted with a bottle of champagne accompanied with the nicest note! Days leading up to our weekend, Michael and his assistant communicated with me on a regular basis to assure us that our stay would be perfect and to ask what else they could do for us. "
5262010,34417371,2015-06-08,26226456,Nicholas,The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5262010,37219365,2015-07-05,758312,Parag,"The house was fantastic and better than described. Michael was a gracious host and provided numerous suggestions in the city. Would highly recommend staying here, and hope to rent Michael's place again for our next Austin visit! Great modern/contemporary design. "
5262010,39883334,2015-07-26,7131796,John,"This property is phenomenal. Every detail, amenity and owners welcoming touch was just right. I didn't get a chance to meet the owner in person, but he made us feel at home from a distance. My wife and two dogs enjoyed the long weekend, as well. We will definitely stay here again if our travels allow it."
5262010,40686936,2015-08-01,39757381,Brett,Our stay was perfect... And Michael the perfect host.  The showers in this place are worth the stay alone.  Will definitely be returning.  
5262010,42069245,2015-08-10,40156612,Lawrence,"Michael and his assistant were highly responsive and easy to deal with.  The property was exactly described and was loaded with all the bells and whistles.  

I would stay here again, thanks Michael!"
5262010,49420560,2015-10-04,31024692,M.J.,"Michael was a gracious host - he was proactive with his communications and always quickly responsive when we reached out to ask a question.  He made us feel welcome and shared his experiences with the neighborhood, which is a true Austin area.

The house is beautiful, even more beautiful in person, though the pictures give you a very good sense for what to expect.  One thing we particularly appreciated was how light and bright the living area was while the bedrooms were quite private.

We'd wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, modern place to stay in Austin."
5262010,51264042,2015-10-19,30770668,Terri,"Fantastic spot in Austin.  The place is clean, beautifully furnished and was a great place for four adults.  We never felt on top of each other and having two bathrooms made it even better.  Cool vibe!   "
352543,1000324,2012-03-14,1832600,Danny,"A coworker and I booked our tickets to SXSW very last minute, and the closest available hotel rooms were in a Best Western several miles outside of town. Luckily, we stumbled upon Kyla's beautiful home using this site and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. She met us upon our arrival to give us helpful tips about nearby places to eat and hang out, as well as offer a map, two bikes, and a quick tour of the house. The place was huge (compared to our NYC apartments especially) and had beautiful high ceilings with lots of sunlight flooding in. The amenities were modern, the bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculately cleaned, and the backyard and porch provided an excellent quiet spot to sip a coffee before heading into the crowded masses of SXSW downtown. We stayed for six nights and were way happier with this than we ever would have been at a Best Western (no offense, Best Western...). I definitely recommend Kyla's home if you're looking for a home away from your own.  "
352543,2925840,2012-11-20,3047066,Alex,She was extremely cordial.  She left us the information we needed to get around the city.  
352543,3773990,2013-03-13,5064550,Stuart,"I was in town for sxsw and stayed at Kyla's lovely house. Very light, airy and a real pleasure to stay in. Kyla was a great host with just the right level of help. It;s a little too far out of Downtown to walk in so do be prepared to drive or rely on cabs. Thanks Kyla for a great stay...
S"
352543,10923877,2014-03-13,6216613,Jeremy,we stayed at kyla's home for sxsw. it was an extremely comfortable airy townhouse. kyla kindly thought of little details such as leaving a new tube of toothpaste by each sink - which was gratefully used. 
352543,28161097,2015-03-19,99423,Felicia,"Kyla's place was perfect for our SXSW trip. Her home is cozy and clean.Each trip in and out of the SXSW craze was approx 10-12 minutes driving. Communication with Kyla was timely and efficient, any questions I had she was quick to respond and friendly."
5289026,27219547,2015-02-28,26420309,Laura Beth,A great experience! Loved the location and the apartment.
5289026,27374315,2015-03-02,10277480,Russell,Preston did an excellent job making me feel welcome and showing me around all the amenities. The place was clean and everything was provided that a hotel would have had. The location is awesome. Everything you could need like shopping or entertainment is just a 6 dollar uber ride away or a short walk. 
5289026,27662215,2015-03-09,27236733,Farhat,This location is great for any business traveler. I was there for a conference in AT&T conference center. It was walking distance and enjoyed my stay. Great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and food trucks nearby. Listing had accurate description. Preston was a great host and I don't have any complaints. I checked in super early and he had to wake up to let me in and flexible with schedule. My checkout was like 1 hour late and he was fine about it. 
5289026,27774975,2015-03-11,7268595,Jacob,"It was my first time in Austin and Preston picked me up nearby and took me to his place. The apartment and room was clean and exactly like the listing. We had a good chat and he and the other roomies were welcoming but not intrusive. 

"
5289026,28082510,2015-03-17,7501593,Louise,"Preston's apartment was great and the guys living there were helpful. It was a good place with a nice location for SXSW! However we thought we rented a whole apartment, and that was not the case - but it's probably our own fault not to read all details. It was no problem to share it though. "
5289026,28369247,2015-03-22,14384183,Michelle,Preston's place was great! Very convenient location and everyone was very hospitable. Highly recommend! 
5289026,29632334,2015-04-10,3383281,Gireesh,It worked out great! Very close to AT&T Center where my conference was. The room was clean and adequate for my needs. Preston was very welcoming and accommodating.
5289026,37506792,2015-07-07,8728198,Jessica,"Overall a lovely place to stay.  It was nice to have a private bathroom.  The building has some architectural oddeties though.  The pool and balcony are much smaller than is standard.  The pool is only 3'9"" deep and the balcony is really just a sliding glass door with a hand rail.  "
5289026,42877112,2015-08-16,37370001,Lizet,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was phenomenal!!! The hosts, Josh and Preston were very friendly, super helpful and on-top of their game. We were in constant communication since I stayed during a busier-than-normal weekend.  The room, restroom and the rest of the house were clean when I arrived. They were flexible with the checkin and checkout. All and all, a great experience. I am looking forward to staying at this location in the future. The room and area were pretty quiet."
968760,3825523,2013-03-18,5333138,Sean,"very easy experience. Jim is a kind, gracious, responsive, experienced host. highly recommended :)"
1593451,10124567,2014-02-01,9069791,Ben,"Becky and her husband are excellent hosts! You can tell they're very excited to have guests stay in their lovely cottage off South Lamar. This space is right in the middle of booming South Austin and it's so easy to walk, jump on a bus or find a Car2Go and hit up the '04. The apartment offers plenty of space and if there wasn't so much exciting things to do in the area, I'd lie in that comfy queen bed all day!
This place is a must-stay for your next trip to Austin."
1593451,10300888,2014-02-11,3281612,Claire,"My parents had a wonderful stay in the cottage. The cottage is charming and we loved how it's perched up high. The location is great and couldn't have been better for my parents to walk to the nearby coffee shop, the farmer's market, and my house.  Becky was very responsive and a great host!"
1593451,10549571,2014-02-24,498747,Lauren,"The cottage was cute, had everything we needed, and was in a great location. We used it as our ""base of operations"" and really got to dig into all of the cool things to do in Austin. Rebecca and Felipe had everything set up and gave us our space. They were gracious hosts and we would definitely stay here again."
1593451,10615596,2014-02-28,4440691,Meridith,Great place to stay in Austin.  Close to tons of restaurants and little shops! Very clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again next trip to Austin! 
1593451,10842208,2014-03-10,1549335,Annie,"We used Becky's house for a SXSW weekend.  It was a great house, close to public transportation, plenty of restaurants on S. Lamar and close to other shopping/dining areas.  Very organized, friendly and had plenty of great suggestions.  I will stay here every time I visit Austin!  "
1593451,11227347,2014-03-25,12863841,Philip,Nice place and location.
1593451,11369294,2014-03-31,13099063,Myrna,"Hi Rebecca,
We enjoyed our stay very much! The cozy cottage was exactly what we wanted in our South Austin stay.  I like your choice of appointments to the apartment and everything was very comfortable.  The coffee was delicious too!  We would stay here again and recommend this cottage for a delightful South Austin visit.  Myrna "
1593451,11520323,2014-04-06,1971419,Caroline,"Really nice, cute place and convenient location. "
1593451,11601179,2014-04-08,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"Nice, private garage apartment in a great area of S. Lamar that's walkable to restaurants, bars, venues, etc. We loved the place and had good communication with the host."
1593451,11836539,2014-04-16,3106877,Zara,"This apartment was wonderful! Perfectly located for many a great meal, walking distance to Barton Springs and the hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Couldn't recommend it enough!"
1593451,12581503,2014-05-05,14288307,Dee,"I stayed for a week at the Zilker Cottage and it was perfect for my needs.  Rebecca was so helpful when I had a last minute unexpected change to my travel plans.  I would highly recommend this cottage for location and comfort.
"
1593451,12981751,2014-05-16,14695226,Bryan,"Rebecca and Felipe have a great place. The cottage was just as described perfect for our stay in Austin. It's about as convenient to everything as you can get and just felt like a home away from home. We actually caught ourselves calling it home. Everything you need is there including a great information binder put together by Rebecca, with everything from bus schedules to the best sandwich around. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to again!"
1593451,13193473,2014-05-21,15021729,Maureen,"Staying at the cottage was just what we expected. The photos and description are accurate. It was actually even a bit roomier than I thought it would be. We walked on a quiet street all the way to Zilker Park, no problem. We also enjoyed an evening walk through the neighborhood--gorgeous trees! Easy access on Lamar to restaurants. It was nice to have off street, dedicated parking too."
1593451,13991798,2014-06-09,2894080,Clif,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.  Felipe was there to meet me upon arrival.  He gave me a quick tour and introduced me to the guest book which had a slew of excellent recommendations for places to visit/eat in the area, as well as how to get around.  The place has character, and is in a fantastic location right off of Lamar.  It's quiet, comfortable and the perfect size for one or two people.  Good parking, and a nice little tree-line deck to enjoy a drink, a smoke and a book outside. "
1593451,16510246,2014-07-28,18117728,Betsy,"The cottage was larger than we expected, and was really well equipped for even a much longer stay. Fantastic bed, instant hot water, great location for our needs. I couldn't have asked for more. It looks nice, but was nicer in person. Rebecca and Felipe did an excellent job to make us feel at home."
1593451,17408119,2014-08-11,11538734,Ryan,"Rebecca was very easy to work with and was always available by text or email if we had any questions. We are very familiar with Austin so the location was central to everything we wanted to do. Pretty much a 5-10 min drive to anywhere we were going. For those who are new to Austin her and her husband Felipe have a booklet with restaurant and activity suggestions for walking distance or beyond. 

Another plus is that this apartment is above the garage to the house they rent so you have your own driveway to park in and no neighbors directly next to you. I would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance. Very nice neighborhood as well."
1593451,18856460,2014-09-01,6170118,Melissa,"We had a great time at the Zilker Cottage. Rebecca had a great book with all kinds of recommendations! Apartment is just as nice as the pictures, it was a pleasure staying there! Well located, walkable to restaurants, bikeable to Zilker Park and the trails systems. Definitely love to go back and visit. Cocktails and snacks on the deck with a great breeze was a nice way to end a great day and start a great evening in Austin. Highly recommend the cottage and its hosts."
1593451,19485206,2014-09-13,13045941,Tori,This place is seriously wonderful! Great size for two people. It was clean and tidy when we arrived. Having a parking spot to leave the car in when we went out proved to be very convenient as there is so much night life close by! This is a really great location to stay if you're not familiar with Austin. Very easy to get to. I absolutely loved it here and would definitely stay again!
1593451,20029568,2014-09-22,3097348,Tim,"South Lamar Zilker was a cute, clean great location right by restaurants.  Rebecca was a great host and the apartment was great for any stay"
1593451,20810529,2014-10-06,14596029,Spenser,"I would live in the Zilker Cottage if I had the chance.  It was perfect, my girlfriend and I stayed for Austin City Limits and couldn't have found a better spot to rest our heads.  Very cool neighbourhood with great tex-mex restaurants close by, plus a 20 min walk away from Zilker Park.  If you  want to truly experience Austin keep away from the hotels downtown  and stay in the cottage! "
1593451,22072012,2014-10-29,14453075,Christine,"Loved this sweet little place! Lots of space, fat, fluffy towels and dedicated parking in Austin. "
1593451,22607020,2014-11-10,8009559,Dan,"Zilker Cottage was perfect for our stay.  Everything was exactly as advertised.  Perfect for a long weekend in Austin.  Great location, cute decor, clean and even some coffee in the freezer!"
1593451,22868424,2014-11-16,23309086,Tabitha,"This place is even cuter than the pictures! I was concerned about it being small but this was not the case. philipe was a very accommodating host, was prompt to respond to any questions we had! I strongly recommend this hideaway if you are looking to explore south Austin."
1593451,23338063,2014-11-29,2591176,Joe,"What a great place!  The cottage was everything advertised, and then some.  The home was extremely clean, comfortable, and well appointed.  The location is great, too--within walking distance of lots of great places to eat, listen to live music, and drink a cold beer.  I'd love to stay here again, when back in Austin."
1593451,23787881,2014-12-10,12130373,Stacey,"I would like to thank Rebecca & Felipe for hosting such a thoughtfully decorated, cozy stomping ground for my mom's visit from New York State.
The south central Austin location was a perfect distance from the airport, local shopping and eateries in the South Congress, South 1st and South Lamar districts as well as the bustle of Downtown Austin.

The images of the cottage provided are very accurate and we love the very South Austin feel and decor. For a woman who barely sleeps, my mom said she slept comfortably and soundly so the bed must be magic ;-D 
This place definitely has all of the qualities for a perfect stay and I would highly recommend this location for our other guests in the future."
1593451,25960434,2015-01-31,9818046,Carol,"My stay at the Zilker Cottage was exceptional! The place feels very warm and home-like. It's a place you actually wouldn't mind hanging out to read, cook a bit, sip coffee or hang out on the deck in the sun listening to the songs of birds! The decor is awesome and just kitschy/retro enough while still feeling homey and comfortable. Everything that you need is there like towels, some products in case you forgot, hairdryer, extra blankets, dishes and cookware, even some coffee and sugar and creamer. Rebecca was very helpful, just a text or phone call away. She came by to meet me and recommended some great vegetarian restaurants! Her recommendation of the Brussels sprouts salad at ""East Side Kings"" became an almost daily habit. :) I would definitely recommend the Zilker cottage if you're going to Austin!"
1593451,26249961,2015-02-08,15497563,Rae,"I booked Rebecca's space for a 1 week business trip that was taking me to the South Lamar area of Houston.  The location of her place was so perfect (less than 1/2 mile from where I would be working) that it had to be.  The place was clean, warmly decorated, and very inviting.  It was a great place to unwind after a busy day.  As a host Rebecca was responsive and very helpful.  I would love to stay in her place again if I need to visit the Houston area.
"
1593451,26612227,2015-02-16,12640955,Gail,"Staying at the South Lamar cottage was perfect. The cottage does look exactly like the photos and it was so comfortable.  It was in walking distance to great food options! Would totally consider staying there again next time in Austin. 
"
1593451,26941218,2015-02-22,2012975,Cathy,"We loved our stay at Rebecca's cottage and can't wait to return! It is charming, cozy and everything we expected plus more. My favorite part was sitting on the deck after our nights out on Rainey St. & SoCo. The neighborhood is in close proximity to most of the ""hot spots."" We drove our own car during the day but used a cab at night and the cost was not bad. We didn't need Rebecca at all because she was sure to have the house prepared for our stay! It was nice when I did reach out that she got back to me very quickly. Thank you for allowing us into your home!"
1593451,28869556,2015-03-31,5378565,Gary,"Felipe and Rebecca were great to communicate with, and responded to all our needs without intruding. They left coffee in the fridge, and wine and Apple cider! Everything we really needed for cooking meals was provided, and two window a\c units and a small heater teamed with using multiple Windows allowed us to fine-tune the variable temps. We had plenty of room to feel comfy.  Also, we spent many hours walking the adjacent neighborhoods and looking at a terrific mix of eclectic homes.  A very fun week for us, and thanks to the on-site washer and drier, we even left with clean clothes! Oh -- the bed was the best we've ever had -- thank you!!!"
1593451,29790202,2015-04-12,20625567,Beth,"This cottage was a wonderful home away from home during our weekend in Austin. It was very comfortable and had a lot of character. In addition, the location was amazing. We were able to have a nice Saturday morning in Zilker Park right out the door. We did not have an opportunity to meet Rebecca because of our late arrival. She was very flexible in accommodating our schedule. I highly recommend staying here."
1593451,30713873,2015-04-26,8900688,Anne,Warm hosts with lots of info to share. A great place with timeless style & everything you'd need. The porch feels like a an open tree house.
1593451,31539447,2015-05-06,31376881,Paul,This cottage was perfect for my trip to Austin.  Great location and will definitely stay here again.
1593451,31821789,2015-05-10,22346656,Hannon,"What a nice place!  The patio was wonderful, the room was perfect, and the location superb. The one regret I have is not meeting the hostess, Rebecca. As charming as the place was, one couldn't help wondering what she was like. Book it!"
1593451,39864208,2015-07-26,15066630,Rob,Rebecca and Felipe were excellent hosts. Their house was even better than advertised and the neighborhood is charming. I will definitely look into staying here again in the future. 
1593451,40872295,2015-08-02,4759171,Janis,"This place was wonderful. My fiancé and I had a terrific time visiting friends. The location was very convenient, the quarters were cool and comfortable. We would love to stay there on our next visit to Austin."
1593451,42054993,2015-08-10,29265339,Susan,"When my husband and I arrived, Felipe was there to greet us.  He gave us extensive information about the property and the area.  We had lived in Austin for years before moving so it gave us a chance to talk about how much the city has changed.  The cottage was perfect for the two of us. We stayed during a heat wave but being upstairs gave us a wonderful breeze being able to enjoy the deck in the evening!  We can't wait for a chance to relax at the cottage again!"
1593451,46029260,2015-09-07,657755,Ashley,Great little cottage in south Austin...perfect for a getaway. Hosts took care of anything needed. We would definitely stay here again.
1593451,48616565,2015-09-27,11500494,Fernando,"This is a great spot to enjoy a stay in Austin and experience everything that some of the city's best districts have to offer.  South Austin, Town Lake, East Austin, and Downtown are all quick access from this cozy garage apartment.  Rebecca's check in system is great and made our late arrival convenient for everyone.  I would highly recommend this spot."
1593451,49587442,2015-10-05,32697305,Stephanie,We stayed at Rebecca's place for ACL. Adorable home in a great location! She accommodated an early check in for us and there was a bunch of great info inside the place on restaurants and other fun things to do. I would highly recommend booking this place! 
1593451,50428002,2015-10-12,12647122,Robin,"We had a wonderful time. Becky was so easy to work with. The cottage is adorable, has everything you need and is easy walking distance to so many things. We were in town for ACL and walked to and from Zilker every day. Will definitely try to stay here if we go to ACL next year!"
1593451,51371395,2015-10-19,3461545,Philippa,Just like the pictures. So quaint and everything you need for a pleasant stay. Loved the thought they put into recommendations for places to see round town and all the local magazines and art. Great location too. We had a car but was a cheap uber to south congress ($5) average and $10 to downtown. Didn't get to meet Rebecca but communication was fast and friendly by text and mail. 
1593451,52093209,2015-10-26,27479827,Tara,"My husband and I rented the South Lamar Zilker Cottage for the weekend of the Formula 1 race.  The location was great, but we still gravitated over to South Congress every day.  We did hit a couple of the local coffee shops, the brewery and Olivias for brunch.  The area is busy, with a lot to do and a lot of development happening.  We didn't have a car, so we walked to South Congress almost every day and it's a great walk.  

The cottage is exactly as described and well big enough for 2.  We didn't utilize the kitchen, but it would have what you need for however long you were going to be there.  It's cute and well appointed.  "
2049254,11012511,2014-03-17,1696010,Rob,"Christina is a wonderful host, and the spot is very sweet.  She even swooped in to give us a ride to our premiere when the SXSW taxi game had become impossible.    The house is exceptionally clean, and even had a parking spot, if you arrive with a car.  A lovely spot."
2049254,12636914,2014-05-06,762307,Andrew,"Christina welcomed us with chips, cookies and a selection of local beers which was the beginning of a great few days in Austin! The place is cozy and comfortable. Christina was a great communicator and checked in periodically to ensure we had everything we needed. She even had a stock of extra toothbrushes which was amazing since I forgot mine! As the description reads it is very close to Mo-Pac but we barely heard a thing and slept wonderfully."
2049254,12800681,2014-05-11,5199184,Richard,"yes,  the highway is very close,  but inside you don't really hear it.  and the inside is very nicely renovated furnished and has everything you need.  Christina is super responsive, attentive, helpful and nice.  a great place to stay!"
2049254,12964492,2014-05-15,8687131,Paula,"Truly enjoyed our stay at Christina's place... Very comfortable, great location, a perfect stay. Christina stayed in communication before, during, and after our stay.  Highly recommend Christina's place, you won't regret it.  ;) "
2049254,13090903,2014-05-19,14566986,Crystal,We had such a great time staying at this place! It's super close to downtown only a $12 can ride.  It was really clean and in a safe area we would def stay here again!!
2049254,13251436,2014-05-23,2109383,Bj,Christina was very accommodating and extremely responsive. I arrived to treats and a friendly note. Check in and check out were seamless. She responded typically within minutes to any message I sent. 
2049254,13430644,2014-05-27,14926004,Kim-Anh,"We enjoyed our stay here. The place was cute and modern, very clean and well-maintained; plus Christina made sure we had a pleasant stay by being very responsive to questions we had and periodically followed up with us. As mentioned in another review - it is close to the highway and train tracks. Being a light sleeper it woke me up a bit the first night but didn't bother me the second.

Would definitely recommend this place to others!"
2049254,13557070,2014-05-30,16014355,Milan,Christina was wonderful! The house was very accommodating and she made sure we had everything and even went out of her way to do things for us. 
2049254,13698650,2014-06-02,13042403,Sarah,"I loved, loved, LOVED staying here! It was pretty centrally located and convenient to all of my destinations. Not only that, Christina rocks! She's flexible, considerate and makes herself extremely available to you. Her place was what I expected and more....She has everything you need! I would def recommend and stay here again!!"
2049254,13800248,2014-06-04,15840273,Arlis,"Christina was an awesome host.  She provided my wife and I with simple instructions for reaching / checking into the room through text message.  The room was exactly what we were looking for, clean / simple / downtown and didn't break the bank.  We walked two miles to check out our states capitol building and then to a concert at Stubb's.  She provided coffee (current addict) and a full working kitchen.  This will be our central suite ever time we visit Austin.  "
2049254,14211242,2014-06-14,16429574,Gail,"Christina was great, and very accommodating. The place was impeccably clean and the neighborhood was perfect for my needs. "
2049254,14638611,2014-06-23,16309496,Kira,"The Suite was absolutely everything we'd hope it would be and more! It's beautiful, cozy, clean and very well maintained. My husband and I stayed for a weekend and loved it so much. The location is great, it is both close to the city and away from the noise in a beautiful neighborhood. Christina is very accessible and such a wonderful host. "
2049254,14872837,2014-06-28,16192272,Ryan,Wonderful host in a wonderful location! Christina was accessible and helpful! 10/10 would definitely recommend!
2049254,15274840,2014-07-06,16532161,Anna,"My friend and I had a great stay at Christina's apartment. Furnishing is new, modern and really nice, and everything is very clean. After several nights staying in various hotel rooms in different cities, we were glad to be able to use the kitchen for some cooking. We didnt't have a car, so we had to figure out how to get to downtown by bus - but once we had, it wasn't a problem at all. It's a ten minute walk to the bus station. Christina was a good host who responded very quickly to all our questions and offered a solution when we asked about storing our luggage on the last day. I definitely recommend staying at this cute place."
2049254,15966218,2014-07-19,16429574,Gail,"The house provided coffee, sparkling water, and a chocolate bar, which were very nice! The neighborhood and location are terrific."
2049254,16127817,2014-07-22,17113910,Caroline,"This beautiful 1x1 apartment is probably the best place to stay in Austin, Texas, particularly of you're easy going and enjoy peace and quiet away from the main drag! Even though it's in a residential area, it's vicinity to The Loop makes it a 15 minute trip to anywhere (it's so easy to drive in Texas!) Get lost in the local neighborhood! The homes are stunning and full of character. Christina is such a wonderful and accommodating host who communicates well but is in no way intrusive.  Finally, the home itself is so beautifully furnished and accommodating - romantic but not cheesy. Perfect for a first time trip away or a rejuvenation of a long term relationship. I can't say enough about this place. "
2049254,16412735,2014-07-27,16904796,Sarah,"We had a great stay at the Sweet Central Suite.  All of our needs were met, and the apartment was clean, comfortable, and cute.  Great central location as well.  Thanks for everything!"
2049254,17005383,2014-08-05,11481626,Joanna,"Christina's place was great. Very comfortable and homey. It was also wonderfully central, so easy to get everywhere in Austin. The bed was comfortable, sheets and towels were soft. Had use of a washer/dryer. I could not have asked for more."
2049254,17356421,2014-08-11,1634915,Collin,"We really enjoyed our time in this suite.  Really liked the decor and furniture (the bed was very comfy).  The suite was super cozy for our little family of three; the perfect amount of space for all of us to relax and unwind.  We really did have everything we needed for an enjoyable mini vacation to Austin.  If it hadn't been so hot, we also would have relaxed outside on the porch and played in the yard.  

The house is undeniably RIGHT by the Mopac.  The traffic (and train) noise took a little getting-used-to.  But, overall, we really weren't disturbed all that much.  Even our three year old took naps and slept through the night despite the car noise and train rumbles.    

Christina was a generous host, leaving treats and snacks for us.  She even accommodated my very pregnant wife by providing DECAF coffee.  It was a small but greatly appreciated gesture. "
2049254,17642734,2014-08-15,16429574,Gail,This is the 3rd time staying at Christina's Sweet Central Suite and everything was great!
2049254,17860439,2014-08-18,18605144,Elizabeth,"Our stay in the Sweet Suite was very sweet indeed! It was our first Airbnb experience, and really was excellent. Christina was very responsive via email before and the day of check in. When we arrived, we even had some goodies waiting for us, which was a nice surprise. There's a guest book filled with stories of other comfortable and easy stays at this studio. The apartment looks exactly as depicted in the photos, and was clean, air conditioned, quiet, secure and stylish. You can hear a bit of the highway and a train every once and a while, but it's not disruptive. And I have to say, the bed was heavenly. The studio is about 10 minutes from downtown, we used Uber to get everywhere, but if you have a rental car there is a driveway and street parking. The one weird thing is that several times Uber and taxi drivers had a hard time finding this spot, as it runs right up against the highway and is a little confusing on a map - just something to keep in mind! Other than that (and a little early morning construction noise next door) we had a really great stay at the Sweet Suite. We would absolutely rent here again if we return to Austin and recommend it to others!"
2049254,18042869,2014-08-20,19667571,Michael,"Amazing stay at a very cozy and clean place. Everything was perfect. Great location, minutes within all major attractions. Couldn't have had a better stay in Austin!"
2049254,18373852,2014-08-25,17201265,Sam,"Awesome place! Clean, modern and in a great location if you have a car.

Had a perfect weekend - many thanks Christina!"
2049254,18638256,2014-08-29,19536559,Nicole,"Sweet Central Suite was exactly like the pictures: well-decorated, tidy, and spacious. Christina was very helpful and welcomed us with coffee and italian soda. The place was relaxing and provided a great get-a-way while remodeling our bathroom. I highly recommend Sweet Central Suite. "
2049254,18800598,2014-09-01,13041737,Tiffani,"Christina was a great host! She gave us a detailed instructions list on how to get in to the property before arriving and was very prompt when responding to emails. The place was absolutely amazing. This was our second AirBnB experience, and our first time at Christina's. We make monthly trips to Austin and will definitely be staying here again. The decor is spot on from the pictures and has a very homey feel. "
2049254,19150472,2014-09-07,16133465,Holley,"This is a beautiful, super clean place. It's in a great location and within minutes of everything ATX has to offer."
2049254,19381647,2014-09-11,16429574,Gail,"We have become regular guests at Christina's Sweet Central Suite, and she continues to be a great communicator, and provides a lovely place to stay. This place has everything you need, and the location can't be beat!"
2049254,19519645,2014-09-14,4308075,Sarah,"Easily the nicest, cleanest, most well appointed air bnb I have ever stayed in. Very comfortable, and did I mention clean?!? So clean. Great location, and Christina was kind enough to leave the porch light on for my late arrival. Loved this place, and would go back or recommend in a heartbeat. Thanks!!!"
2049254,19741239,2014-09-17,11336622,Angela,"The place was great! Clean, modern, comfortable. Christina was extremely responsive. Will stay there again! "
2049254,20146599,2014-09-24,19930485,Jason,This was our first AirBnB experience and I can only imagine that it's all downhill from here. Christina's Sweet Central Suite has set too high a precedent for other places to try and live up to. Perfect accommodations and location. We came up for the week for Fantastic Fest and were perfectly situated between locations for the fest and surrounding restaurants and shops. Will definitely plan on get our hands on it again before word gets out to anyone else next year. 
2049254,20281398,2014-09-27,5693362,Janet,"This has to be the most well-equipped place I've ever stayed!  Full kitchen, iron/ironing board, hairdryer, laundry soap for the washer/dryer, toiletries - everything we needed to feel at home.  We were part of a wedding and the location was perfect for all the wedding errands we needed to run.  The place was also immaculate.  Linens were fresh and clean and everything was sparkling and new.  I would definitely recommend this apartment to others and I'd also stay again myself!  Thanks so much Christina!!"
2049254,20497624,2014-09-30,18997994,Lee,"The Sweet Central Suite was exactly as advertised. Centrally located, easily accessible, very affordable, clean and comfortable. Despite being literally just a few feet away from one of Austin's busiest roadways, it is also quiet and relaxing. There are numerous amenities and they were most helpful, especially the washer/dryer. The neighborhood is also clean and quiet. Christina is an awesome host; she made us feel most welcome and, when necessary, she communicated with us promptly. Everything about our stay was first rate!"
2049254,20720270,2014-10-04,16429574,Gail,"After several stays by my husband Tom, I finally got to accompany him on a trip to Austin and stay at Christina's Sweet Central Suite. Everything was so clean and lovely. The place is very well laid furnished and the kitchen is well-equipped.  I was impressed by how quiet is was, and the location really can't be beat. "
2049254,20897012,2014-10-07,8817689,Bill,"Christina's Sweet Central Suite was great. My wife and I went to Austin City Limits for our 10th anniversary and it was walkable to Zilker Park, UT and a great area called Greenville.  It's near a pretty busy highway, but we were surprised that we didn't notice it during our stay.  

Christina was a great host, very communicative and receptive to our needs.

Take note:  if you use Uber, their map takes you close but not on the correct side of the property, so Google map it to make sure you can guide them to the right spot."
2049254,21291294,2014-10-14,2908269,Aaron,"Christina sent us an instructions - everything worked as planned! The whole apartment feels new and clean.  For us, it was like a hotel, but better."
2049254,21440193,2014-10-17,20158949,Kristy,"Christina's place was phenomenal.
Super, super clean and really hip AND comfortable. Love the mid century vibe of the house. 
Bed was comfortable and linens and towels were luxurious.
She had everything anyone one could need and lots of little extras in case we forgot something.  
Access to wifi was a snap .  
Location  within the city was perfect and so convenient to everything.

Great communication with Christina.  Check in / check out was easy.  We knew Christina was there for us but she gave us complete space to do our ""thing"". 
I will be back....if she'll have me....on future trips to Austin.
This was my first Airbnb experience and I'm never staying in a hotel again!
Thanks Christina"
2049254,22145357,2014-10-31,5271965,Darren,"Lovely and clean, spacious and everything I needed for my short stay."
2049254,22519504,2014-11-09,19045412,Florencia,"We enjoyed our stay at this wonderful Airbnb. Christina was excellent to deal with from first contact to thorough out our stay. The place is great! It's a well maintained, clean, sweet, cosy apartment. Christina clearly takes great care to make her guests' stays enjoyable, right down to the smallest of details. We felt right at home, and took comfort knowing we had everything we needed. The location couldn't have been better for us, with convenient access to Mopac, less than 15 minutes to downtown Austin. We gladly recommend Christina's ""Sweet Central Suite"". "
2049254,22829710,2014-11-16,19619504,Erin,We had such a great stay in Austin at Sweet Central Suite! The location was really central to everything we wanted to do and see over the weekend. Check-in and parking was super easy. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. 
2049254,23239554,2014-11-26,7652632,Maria T,"Un vecindario hermoso, bien ubicado y tranquilo. La casa queda al lado de la autopista por lo que afuera hay un poco de ruido, pero adentro es muy silencioso.
La casa es cómoda, muy limpia y con todo en muy buen estado.
Absolutamente recomendable y regresaría sin dudarlo para mi próxima estadia en Austin."
2049254,23452339,2014-12-01,2559497,Marco,"Christina made staying in Austin easy. The location of the suite was central and just a moments drive from all the downtown attractions. We appreciate the relative serenity and privacy of the space, just as the pictures convey. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, stylish, and accessible location. "
2049254,23691647,2014-12-08,23076539,Anne,"Christina was easy to work with and the place was clean, cozy and welcoming. She left clear instructions on how to access the place and was also very helpful with local recommendations. We would stay here again!  "
2049254,23829530,2014-12-11,24584709,Jeffrey,"We enjoyed staying at this Airbnb.  I really liked how it was decorated.  It was very clean.  I enjoyed walking through the adjacent neighborhood to see the xmas lights.  I liked that it had a washer dryer and a stocked kitchen.   When we first arrived, we were a little concerned about the close proximity of MOPAC.  However, the unit was quiet
 and noise was not a problem.  I would stay there again."
2049254,23931798,2014-12-14,24597832,Jordan A.,"Totally frictionless experience. Sweet Central Suite was perfectly clean and very cute! $13 uber to Rainey st or soco - Make sure to ""drop pin"" on newfield so driver finds it. Some sort of train or something goes by periodically but it didn't disturb me. Christina is responsive to messages. "
2049254,24029372,2014-12-17,11336622,Angela,"Excellent location and place. I stay here when I am in Austin, about every quarter. The host is very accommodating and responsive via email and text. Thanks again for a great visit! "
2049254,24469207,2014-12-29,22657797,Natalie,Very comfortable and incredibly clean. Christina was a great host and so easy to work with. She responded quickly to all questions. Thanks it was a wonderful stay. 
2049254,24717252,2015-01-02,10564990,Jess,"I really enjoyed the duplex a lot. The decor was simple, chic, and inviting. The layout was roomy for the space to only be 500 Ft. The bathroom was my favorite. It had a warmer in it which was perfect for cold and rainy nights. I loved that Christina had small necessities there: soap, blow dryer, stand-up mirror. There is even cable to keep you company, or HDMI TV if you want to bring your Apple TV. The location was perfect. The neighborhood was really quiet and I felt safe. You won't regret staying here! "
2049254,25495881,2015-01-18,6188091,Ben,"Christina is a fantastic, attentive host, and we didn't even meet in person! The apartment was just right for our visit for our friends' weekend wedding, comfortable and well designed, easily heated/cooled and very quiet despite proximity to traffic.  Also we walked to Josephine House after finding it on Yelp and had the best brunch of our lives and that's stacked up against years of hipster brunching from Brooklyn, NY to Venice, CA.  Nom."
2049254,26031481,2015-02-01,26714877,Gershom,"The place was superb. Phenomenally clean, had everything we needed to be comfortable, and would be suitable for a short or long stay. We were sad to go!  Christina was a top-notch host, very sweet and stayed in contact during our visit. We really couldn't have asked for anything better, and didn't need to! We got to enjoy a great weekend in Austin, both in and outside of the duplex. We would stay here again!"
2049254,26259623,2015-02-08,8557675,Kimmy,"What a wonderful first experience on AirBnb! Christina was very helpful and always replied to emails within 24 hours. Sweet Central Suite was lovely -- the place was immaculate when we got there. It was the perfect sized place for me and my boyfriend to stay. Very conveniently located, with downtown just minutes away. Yes, you could see Mopac from the front door, however, like everyone else has said, you can barely notice the sounds. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely come back."
2049254,26399879,2015-02-11,16429574,Gail,"We have stayed at Sweet Central Suite many times before and it is always neat, clean, quiet and well furnished. Christina is an awesome host."
2049254,26516380,2015-02-15,21022347,Casey,"The location of the duplex is good. It's in an old upscale neighborhood just a 10 minute drive from downtown. The apartment was very clean and we had some amenities we didn't expect like laundry detergent and bath soap. There were plenty of cookware for making meals and we were able to relax and enjoy our time in Austin. The only small complaint is the duplex is right on the freeway and train tracks. A train rolls through every couple hours throughout the night. After the first couple nights it doesn't bother you anymore. I was actually surprised how dampened the noise was. It could have been much worse. I sure wouldn't hesitate booking this apartment again. It was perfect for my wife, infant daughter and myself."
2049254,26791372,2015-02-19,16429574,Gail,"Sweet Central Suite was clean and charming, very well-furnished and in an excellent location. Christina  is very easy to deal with and a very responsive communicator."
2049254,27794090,2015-03-12,11485152,Masha,"I rented this apartment for my parents who came to visit for over three weeks. Overall, it was a positive experience. The apartment looked just like on the photos, clean and stylish. Christine was a responsive host, answered several of my questions ahead of time and over the first few days of my parents' stay, until they got completely settled. 

She also reacted quickly when a couple of days into their stay, my parents discovered a mess left by a previous tenant that the cleaners didn't catch. We talked about the issue within an hour, found a quick fix and then Christine came by the following day to make sure everything was clean.

The neighborhood around the apartment is very nice, with quiet walkable streets. There's a grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants and shops within a 20-minute stroll. Everything else is within a short drive away - downtown, more shopping, etc. The only issue is that the duplex where the apartment is located sits right next to a highway that also has train tracks and the highway is currently undergoing improvement, so there's construction vehicles, noise and mud/dust in close proximity. There's nothing the host can do about this and we knew all this before we booked, because in our case it was important that my parents stayed closer to the neighborhood where we live. I am taking off a star because my parents said it was pretty noisy at night, they could hear the road and the trains, but, thankfully, no construction noise (I think all work takes plays during the day). Again, not the host's fault, and may not be an issue for everyone. 

All in all, the apartment had everything my parents needed, it was comfortable, stayed warm on cold days in late Feb-early March and everything in it worked (Wi-Fi, plumbing, heater, etc). Thanks!"
2049254,28162498,2015-03-19,7378839,Pip,"We loved staying at Christina's! A lovely space, comfy bed and great shower. Christina communicated well with us and always very quickly. 
We had been in town for SXSW and having stayed in a bland hotel for part of the stay it was a relief to stay in this cozy space.
The neighborhood is quiet and we slept well, barely noticing the nearby MOPAC.
Being without a car it was only $10 in a cab downtown and the cabs found us easily.
Thanks Christina, we would highly recommend and definitely stay again if we're in Austin :)"
2049254,28321218,2015-03-22,1342121,Daniel,"We loved our stay at Christina's casa. It's located off 24th street, so it's within easy striking distance of the UT campus and downtown. The duplex is super clean, well designed, and comes with a washer and dryer. We would definitely stay again. "
2049254,28591131,2015-03-26,334883,Lorelei,"The place was a gem. Great location tucked in a cul de sac. Right off freeway and close to everything. Very clean, well appointed, and such a comfy bed. She made it very easy for us to check in and she was quick to respond when we had questions. What a great value! "
2049254,29402587,2015-04-07,27448289,Shelby,"My mom and I just stayed here over Easter weekend for a girls trip together. Christina was a great host and made staying at the Sweet Central Suite easy! Not only that but the space is beautiful, with a well appointed mid-century vibe. It is obvious that Christina takes a lot of pride in it, and care to provide her guests with a great stay. It was immaculately clean upon our arrival. The bed was very comfortable. Having a full kitchen at our disposal was a great asset. The location made accessing the different neighborhoods a breeze, with its location next to MOPAC, and being able to be in downtown within minutes (even not using the freeways). I even enjoyed going for evening runs in the beautiful surrounding neighborhood. It is right next to the freeway, but we didn't even notice the car noise at night. We would definitely love to stay here again! "
2049254,30068833,2015-04-17,10949492,Marla,"Impeccably clean, super cute, and it had everything we needed. (a colander!) I wouldn't recommend the bed to anyone who prefers a really firm mattress as it was the absolute softest and most comfortable bed in the world. They just wouldn't appreciate it. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that everything we wanted to do was within 15 minutes in any direction. There was some construction but the noise didn't really bother us. Once inside you could barely hear anything. The only thing I missed was Cable TV since I'm old fashioned and don't travel with my computer or tablet. But I'm sure most people who do wouldn't have even noticed it missing. The neighborhood was also really nice and quiet. It was a perfect home away from home. Thanks Christina!"
2049254,31490623,2015-05-05,32155087,Allison,We loved everything about this place. Exactly how it looks in the pictures. It was a great setup for two! The kitchen and bathroom were very nice and new and the bed was heavenly. There was a hairdryer and everything. 
2049254,31703802,2015-05-09,6623676,Isabel,"suite looked exactly as pictured. clean, well-equipped with the essentials. even though its adacent to the freeway, the lush greenery does an excellent job of cancelling out the noise and view. superb location for easy and fast access to downtown area and the freeway makes it easy to get about. communicating with Christina was fast and easy. Thanks for making everything so easy! "
2049254,31889536,2015-05-11,27839676,Amber,"The host made us feel very welcome.  Received a message before check in to remind of us to check in at the unit.  Very simple. The unit was spotless, clean and everything we needed and more.  The unit is in a very nice neighborhood.  It is right next to the highway but we never heard a thing during our entire stay.  Would definitly stay there again."
2049254,32340976,2015-05-17,12779409,Cheryl,"Great location! Only 5 minutes away from a ton of tourist destinations (original Whole Foods, downtown Austin, UT Austin, etc). The suite looks exactly as advertised, complete with a comfy couch and bed, clean kitchen, and toiletries. Christina was very responsive, helpful, and an all-around great host. Would love to stay here again the next time I visit Austin."
2049254,32970497,2015-05-24,176507,Joe,Great place to stay in Austin - very central and close to everything.  Very clean and spacious.  
2049254,35492982,2015-06-19,34677269,Emily,"The listing description was totally accurate and the sweet suite very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. The neighborhood is really beautiful, safe and presented great opportunities for long walks. Christina was very flexible and welcoming and handled a confusion over the reservation with patience and understanding. I would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it!"
2049254,35826513,2015-06-22,213134,Lael,Weekend stay at Christina's place was great!  Location was centralized and we were a close drive to everything.  Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.  Place was tidy and had all the necessary essentials for a weekend stay.  Definitely better than staying at a hotel.  Best part was not having to carry a key for the house.  Loved the pin pad entry!
2049254,36583047,2015-06-29,9113,Chip,This place was a pleasant refuge from my adventures around Austin. 
2049254,38670942,2015-07-17,38301342,Katherine,"What an adorable haven from the summer Austin heat! The unit is simple and well kept, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay over. If I'm ever in Austin again, I'll definitely look for one of her listings."
2049254,38909652,2015-07-19,6592154,Jarrett And Kristen,We had an awesome experience at Christina's Central Suite. It was in a nice location for exploring all around Austin. The Suite was clean and Christina was very helpful and responsive . Thank you Christina!
2049254,39436553,2015-07-23,37350633,Kimberly,"Christina's central suite was in the perfect location for everything we had planned on our trip. It was so cozy and comfy, and felt like home! Such a clean, well kept, quaint little place. Although it looks small it was the perfect size and had EVERYTHING! I will definitely be booking at this little home next time I come to Austin and will recommend to friends. Thank you, Christina!"
2049254,39855681,2015-07-26,4825040,Vy,Christina and her suite are great.  She sent an email the day before letting me know the ins and outs of her place.  Everything was as pictured.  The location is central and we were able to get everywhere we wanted to within 15 minutes.  The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Great stay! 
2049254,40405912,2015-07-30,218563,Robert,"Excellent location in Central Austin at a fair price! The 1 bedroom apartment is spacious, clean and discreetly appointed with a nice sense of style.  Open and full kitchen for cooking is a plus. Communication was clear and Christina was very responsive."
2049254,41802947,2015-08-09,37082790,Luis,I couldn't have asked for more. Not only was it a perfect location but also a perfect space. Christina was great answering all my questions and made the process easy.
2049254,42235405,2015-08-11,26821289,Lee,"Loved our stay here. Great location, quick access to most everything tourists enjoy in Austin. Space was lovely, everything we needed, comfortable, great kitchen. We would definitely stay here again. "
2049254,42925065,2015-08-16,15243285,Jennifer,Christina was the perfect hostess! She had everything we needed to make our 4 day stay comfortable. Sweet Central Suite is charming and matched its description perfectly. We would definitely stay here again.
2049254,45213850,2015-08-31,37190843,Cara Ann,Had a fabulous time at this home. Perfect size for my boyfriend and I with easy access to the Mo Pac and great if you like running as it is exactly a mile run to the beautiful Lady Bird Town Lake. We would stay here again in a heart beat.
2049254,45955143,2015-09-07,38199442,Cynthia,"This duplex is very neat and clean and the neighborhood as you drive to it is quite upscale and beautiful.  The unit itself is nicely appointed with great quality towels, kleenex and TP.  She even supplies shampoo and conditioner which is a nice touch.  I wasn't prepared though for it to be along Hwy 1.  The house only has a privacy fence and then approx 50 feet between it and the 8 lane highway.  Because both the living room air conditioner and bedroom air conditioner run non stop the noise drowns out most of the traffic noise, however, when we heard a train there was nothing that could drown that out.  We looked outside and noticed there is a train track that runs between the north and southbound lanes of Hwy 1.  Luckily, they don't run in the middle of the night.  If you sleep soundly and like white noise then these things won't bother you.  If you're a light sleeper, you might be out of luck."
2049254,47720686,2015-09-21,24262135,David,"I had a great experience at Sweet Central Suite. What a great bolt hole from which to explore Austin - super location, spotlessly clean and with all the amenities you could need. Recommended!"
2049254,49171392,2015-10-01,23874909,Amber,"My husband and I stayed here on our first trip to Texas, ever. The space was chic and clean, and we loved the proximity to downtown while feeling away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although we did not meet Christina, we were impressed how we wanted for nothing the entire trip."
2049254,49982326,2015-10-08,12164022,Hannah,"The house has everything you will need for your stay.   Whenever I texted the host, she responded quickly and was very helpful. I would book this rental again. "
2049254,51281840,2015-10-19,25820952,Amanda,"Christina's central Austin apartment was very cute, clean, and comfortable. My family stayed while they visited me and really enjoyed it. The keypad entry was also very convenient--no worrying about exchanging keys."
2049254,51699698,2015-10-24,38843435,Amanda,"We really enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Central Suite! Given how suburban the feel is, I was so pleasantly surprised just how close downtown actually is. It was an easy 8-10 minute uber ride in to downtown. Christina was super helpful before our stay and when a slight problem came up. The space was really spacious and clean, and it was really nice to have a homey place to come back to after a long day out exploring Austin. I'll be recommending the Sweet Central Suite to any friends looking to visit Austin in the future! "
2049254,52046348,2015-10-26,37443847,Kirsten,While I didn't have the opportunity to meet Christina in person she was very communicative from the beginning of my reservation and all through the process. Her response time was excellent. The space was cute and clean and the bed was like sleeping in a cloud. 
5592674,49684007,2015-10-05,35075688,Dustin,Sallie was very accomaditing and a perfect host. The place was well kept and in a perfect location. I would definitely book again.
5592674,50545724,2015-10-12,31666289,Tracy,"From the moment we booked our reservation, Sallie welcomed us to Austin and into her home.  She provided helpful suggestions for ACL logistics as well as neighborhood establishments.  Speaking of the neighborhood, this location cannot be beat.  Wedged on a small side street between 1st and South Congress, everything you need is right here - restaurants, convenience stores, etc.  Everything you need is within walking distance. The home itself is a comfortable, quiet and peaceful retreat. The couch shown in the pictures was the absolute best and just what my weary body needed at the end of the day. So happy we found this gem. We hope to be back!"
2355962,10896075,2014-03-11,12793858,Alice,"Don't let the slightly ""up and coming"" street and surroundings fool you, this house was absolutely fabulous!! Jordan did such a detailed job decorating and ensuring his guests were comfortable. From the honor bar to the toiletries, the home was mid century modern chic and super comfy. Jordan was a host with the most as well. Super responsive, detailed and thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for a better home OR host!"
2355962,20925629,2014-10-07,6727389,Joseph,"Jordan's place was terrific in every way. His style was impeccable and he was very easy to communicate and work with, even when we loves Austin so much we wanted to stay one more night! Don't think twice about staying here!"
690984,2624978,2012-10-15,254830,Michelle,"This is a fabulous apartment! Perfect downtown central location in a secure building with easy to use car space. The rooms are large, beds comfortable, plus there are plenty of towels in the modern bathrooms. Steve was always quick to reply and key pick up was really easy to coordinate. I highly recommend this apartment for your next Austin stay!"
690984,2688140,2012-10-22,3747963,Claire,"Great location, easy communication and flexibility with the lessor, and the apartment was spacious, clean, and generally very nice. We had an excellent stay and recommend it."
690984,2815277,2012-11-05,1259627,Jason,"Had a great time in Austin! The location was right where we wanted to be, walking distance to all the great bars and restaurants. It was even close enough to go for a run at the park. I would definitely rent this place again!"
690984,2864789,2012-11-12,2220799,Travis,"Steve was a great host and the apartment was absolutely perfect; spacious, clean, plenty of room and a great location.  We even requested an additional air mattress (last minute) and Steve was more than willing to accommodate.  I would definitely stay here again!

The location is unbeatable.  Everything you need is within walking distance to the apartment, plenty of restaurants, bars, markets, etc nearby.

"
690984,2928006,2012-11-20,3839044,Joanne,Great Location and a lot of space in the condo! Steven was really helpful with everything.
690984,3017332,2012-12-03,949094,Darlene,"Steven was a great host, and the place is in the perfect location to walk to 6th street restaurants/bars/etc! The apt was clean, and he was super responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here if they are visiting Austin!"
690984,3063771,2012-12-11,4142390,Erin,Great location and nice place. Great alternative to the pricey hotels downtown. Steven was very responsive to our questions and made checking in very easy. Made our first airbnb experience awesome! 
690984,3104184,2012-12-17,2764582,Lindsey,"Steve's place was perfect! Great location, walkable to anything downtown, nice living area, comfortable beds, washer/dryer if needed, clean, and ample bedding and towels. 
Steve made the experience super easy with terrific communication.  Thank you very much! We'll be back!"
690984,3344309,2013-01-14,4404577,Danielle,"Steve was a great host! He left us very thorough directions for everything and his place was immaculate when we arrived. The apartment was in a perfect location also, easily accessible to all of the downtown bars and restaurants. I highly recommend staying at Steve's place!"
690984,3362187,2013-01-17,4405237,Tamima,"We had a lovely time staying in this well-appointed and extremely well-located apartment. The place itself was perfect for our group of four (one person each in two of the three bedrooms and two of us shared the 3rd bedroom with twin beds) and much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. The open living room/dining room was great for hanging out after a long day of business meetings, and the flat screen TV was a good distraction for some much needed down time. After we'd recovered from our days, night life and great restaurants were all just a stone's throw away. We were easily able to walk to restaurants and live music. The coffee, OJ, bagels and cream cheese left for us upon our arrival were a very nice touch! Thanks again. We had a great stay! "
690984,3391289,2013-01-22,3940845,Christine,"We were in town for my son's wedding and we really enjoyed staying at Steve's place.  It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable, especially the master bed as it is in the back and there is not street noise.  He left water and the ability to make coffee in the morning.  It is VERY close to all the downtown action and I would definitely stay there again!!"
690984,3456514,2013-02-01,4872799,Jesse,"Everything was perfect. Steve was an excellent host, and he made the process as easy possible. The apartment is also perfectly located for business downtown and at the capital."
690984,3506589,2013-02-10,1884841,Lise,"Steve was very helpful and extremely quick to respond to questions.  The place was fantastically close the the convention center where we had to go to all week.  All we needed to do was cross a street corner and there we were!  As for night life, 6th street is just two short blocks away with anything anyone could be looking for.  Live music was everywhere and great food as well.  I would definitively recommend staying here."
690984,3558647,2013-02-17,4291599,Rodney,"Steve's place is great! Clean, comfortable with spacious bedrooms. Nice kitchen with updated appliances. Free, high-speed WiFi and cable TV. Nice walk-in closet in the master bedroom. You can even do your laundry right in the apartment. It is located across the street from the Austin Convention Center, which was perfect for our needs. Downtown Austin parking can be maddening so having a reserved spot in a gated lot is a huge plus. Steve gave clear instructions and responded quickly to my email in the days prior to our arrival. If you have a group of travelers and want some space to relax in while saving money, Steve's apartment beats a hotel every time."
690984,3593814,2013-02-20,4673932,Sandy,We had a great time in Austin!  Steve's place was perfect for us.  Great location - walk to everything!  Very clean and comfortable accommodations.
690984,3674574,2013-03-03,3959944,Chad,"My co-workers and I stayed at this condo for a conference we were attending at the Moody Theatre. Steve is highly responsive and a great host.

The only thing I'd watch out for is if you're a light sleeper -- two of the bedrooms are on the side of the street, so on weekend nights you hear party buses and people out on the town pretty clearly."
690984,3719894,2013-03-08,995581,Anna,Comfortable apartment for my whole work team to stay in during SXSW. Super convenient to the convention center (across the street). MUCH better than staying in a hotel. Steve was very flexible. Would definitely stay here again.
690984,3778963,2013-03-14,9668921,Adam,Steve is an excellent host. He stocked the fridge very generously with cool local beverages & good breakfast. He answers emails fast. The condo is nice and the location is absolutely perfect for events at the convention center.
690984,4092971,2013-04-09,4795670,Nina,"It was a great pleasure dealing with Steve. He is very responsible and reliable host. Steve's place is perfect, great location. Very clean and comfortable accommodations."
690984,4179640,2013-04-16,5067355,Bryan,"Very nice accommodations, close to everything in downtown Austin.  Steve was very informative and nice to work with before and during the stay.  We will stay here again when we return to Austin!"
690984,4212076,2013-04-19,5068164,Alana,"5 of us stayed at Steve's place in Austin for 3 nights. It is the perfect setting for a trip to Austin in a fabulous location. Check-in and out is easier then a hotel and Steve kindly left us bagels and juice for breakfast.
I would stay again and recommend  Steve's place to others it was perfect. "
690984,4562275,2013-05-13,3912643,Evi,"We recently attended a conference at the Hilton in Austin. I had originally booked three rooms at the Hilton for my employees and myself. I happened to stumble upon Steve's condo listing and thought that would be a great way to save money. I did indeed save money, but if I had to do it over again, I would pay double for Steve's condo! It is smack dab in the middle of everything. It was so close to our conference that we could literally leave the condo, walk to the Hilton and be sitting down faster than someone staying at the Hilton if they had to take the elevator! The condo was super clean, with tons of storage. The beds were comfortable too. Steve was an awesome host as well. His quick and accomodating response to my emails were greatly appreciated! Clean, comfy, convenient and an amazing host! What more can you ask for? Than you Steve!"
690984,4672077,2013-05-20,3943044,Michael,Our stay was fantastic. Close to sixth street and walking distance to everything you could imagine if I ever return to Austin I would love to stay again. Thanks Steve for letting us stay we had a great time
690984,4828735,2013-05-28,5186696,Sarah,"I booked Steve's place for family coming in town for my wedding. He was communicative, helpful and everyone loved the location and the place! I recommend it to others. "
690984,4885279,2013-05-31,4943362,Peter,"The condo was clean, comfortable and well located to Austin attractions.  It had everything we needed and would definitely stay there again."
690984,4960018,2013-06-04,4634678,Steve,"Seven family members stayed in Steve's condo while visiting Austin for our daughter's wedding.  The condo was clean, comfortable, and in a great location downtown.  Starbucks just across street at the Marriott.  There was some street noise on weekend nights, sirens from the nearby fire station, but we would have had that in a hotel as well.  We are walkers and found it a quick walk to river, sixth street nightlife, restaurants, etc.  We also had a rental car in our group and it was close to freeway access to visit other attractions around Austin.  LBJ Library great for history buffs!  Steve responded quickly to any questions.  Would definitely stay there again!"
690984,5151301,2013-06-15,6734758,Matt,This apartment is in a great location in the middle of downtown Austin.  We enjoyed our stay very much and would rent it again if we were back in Austin.  It can get a little loud on the street side of the apartment but it wasn't anything that would keep us from considering the apartment again.
690984,5207340,2013-06-18,5832225,Mary,"I was very impressed with Steve's apartment for my first experience using AirBnB.  Steve is an amazing host.  The place was very comfortable and spacious for me and my guests.  Once we walked in from the humidity outside, the AC was already blasted. We didn't want to leave the apartment during the daytime.  Steve is so nice. He provided us was drinks and bagels in the fridge.  I requested for extra air mattresses and that was provided immediately.  Steve was on call when I had a question.  The place was clean and well kept.  The location was perfect! We were right across the street from Marriott so it was easy to hail a taxi and find our way back.  Everything was walking distance.  I had an amazing experience.  I would highly recommend staying here if you ever decide to give downtown Austin a visit.  Thanks again Steve for being such a great host!"
690984,5481276,2013-07-02,4645332,Brittney,"Steve was great! the condo was in a perfect location, and he was so helpful and friendly. He was also very easy to get a hold of and responded very quick. It was my first experience with airbnb and it was fantastic!"
690984,5654228,2013-07-10,4671465,Alexander,"My friends and I stayed at Steve's condo for a convention and it was absolutely perfect, across the street from the convention centre and an easy walking distance to most of the things we wanted to do (6th street) and an easy 1$ bus ride to anything else(south of the river). Steve was a fantastic host by quickly responding to anything we needed, the AC stopped working one day and he had it fixed by the time we got back from the convention that same day. Austin is an amazing city with tons to see and I will definitely be coming back "
690984,5902103,2013-07-22,4362942,Erin,"This condo was perfect for our girl’s trip!  Steve was so accommodating and always quick to respond to my questions.  He was even able to give us late check out which was so helpful.  The condo is clean, modern and in walking distance to great bars & restaurants.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone going to Austin!  "
690984,6528123,2013-08-16,4981145,D. Jean,"The apartment had everything we could possibly need, and was only a half a block from the Atrium entrance of the Convention Center. That meant we could save leftovers in the fridge and pop back in for lunch, or come back for a quick power nap during our conference. Steve was available by cell phone when we checked in to answer any questions, and the guide book he left was informative and helpful."
690984,6813349,2013-08-26,7387340,Tim,"A fantastic stay in Austin! The condo is great and right in the middle of everything - 2 blocks from 6th street and a little over a mile from some of the best food in the world. Clean, well maintained with plenty of towels, pillows and a super-comfy couch. Housed me and four friends for 3+ days and was a great retreat from the heat after walking around downtown all day. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Austin."
690984,6972124,2013-09-01,7983620,William,"The place is great and relatively quiet for being right down town. And I can't express how great it was to be in Austin for a week on business and to have a kitchen/washer/dryer! 

The location can't be beat. And Steve was a great host. I hope to be staying there again."
690984,7007079,2013-09-03,6585567,Kate,"What a fantastic place.  In a location that makes everything downtown within walking distance. 1 block from a  $1 airport shuttle, and 2 blocks from a bus stop that has buses that will take you anywhere.

The place was spotless, very comfortable, and stocked with water, breakfast, and coffee. We slept 5 people there, and everyone had their own beds.  Communicating with Steve was easy - he responded quickly to the very few questions I had.  I highly recommend staying at Steve's place."
690984,7640726,2013-09-28,7004724,David,"Steve's apartment was really good. It had a lot of space, was very clean and had comfortable beds. Steve was also very good at communicating with us prior to our arrival. The location of the apartment was also good - between 6th street which is known for its bars and congress bridge - famous for the bats which live under it. In all a great place to stay."
690984,8129010,2013-10-17,4090050,Michael,Great Place and a really awesome location. Would highly recommend Steve's place to anyone looking to stay in the heart of downtown Austin. Steve also got to me quickly with all questions. A+ overall experience.
690984,8250826,2013-10-22,7988200,Lauren,"Steve's place was perfect for our girls trip.  He was very responsive when we had any questions and even left some bagels/oj/fruit in the fridge for our stay.  His apartment is centrally located - walking to Barton Springs, UT, 6th St, Rainey St, etc... Would highly recommend staying here!! "
690984,8364076,2013-10-28,7117531,Michael,"Comfortable, well-maintained place. Wi-Fi, TV, kitchen amenities very good. Great downtown location. Metro bus to/from airport cheap and very convenient. Somewhat noisy from street traffic and proximity to fire station, but some city noise is unavoidable in such a central location, and master bedroom is quiet. Would definitely recommend."
690984,8686136,2013-11-12,657571,Alexis,"Loved the location. It was close to everything! Steve's instructions about check in/check out, and directions were very clear and thorough prior to our arrival. The condo was clean and the beds were comfortable. Couldn't ask for anything more. It was a pleasant stay. "
690984,8812579,2013-11-19,7850125,Dave,Perfect location in one of the best Cities in the USA!  Very please I took the option to take Steve's apartment over the US Grand Prix period!
690984,8897895,2013-11-25,8733952,Alex,"Every morning we exited our condo, crossed the street and entered the convention center.  I was initially very surprised at how close we actually were to the convention center.  It is so convenient to know that the doors opened at 9:30 and we could exit the condo at 9:25.  The rooms were very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. All apliances were very modern and clean. Having a designated parking space was also a great convenience.  Check in and check out were a breeze and Steve was VERY quick to respond to any messages I sent him.  I look forward to booking this place again next year!"
690984,9128994,2013-12-09,9357643,Lawrence,"Location location location! Steve's place is situated in the heart of downtown Austin, which makes traveling and exploring the city a breeze. Amenities were clean and everything was there: towels, ironing board, washer/dryer. Will be back!"
690984,9241593,2013-12-16,2764582,Lindsey,"Steve is truly a top notch host.  Our team from out of town recently stayed at Steve's condo for the second time, and we will keep coming back.  He even went so far as to make adjustments so that all of the people in our group could go their separate directions without having to worry about sharing one key.  Thanks Steve!"
690984,9324033,2013-12-21,10528124,Susan,"Beautiful accommodations! The beds were comfortable, towels plush and kitchen well stocked. Walking anywhere downtown was so easy. The horse and buggy carriage even dropped us off at our door at the end of the ride. We will definitely refer Steve's condo to our friends and family.Thanks!"
690984,9380617,2013-12-25,5198916,Alex,"Apartment was wonderful and in a great location.  Steve was very helpful with recommendations and detailed logistics.  Check-in/out process was very smooth and convenient.  Only downside was the  noise in the bedrooms with windows facing the street.  Cars blaring loud music on Saturday night - if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs!"
690984,9440553,2013-12-29,2251106,Karen,"I stayed at Steve's during Christmas along with my 2 adult children.  Unfortunately the toilets didn't work the evening we arrived which was Christmas Eve.  Steve sent someone on Christmas Day to fix them and offered a small refund for the inconvenience which was very nice.  The following day the city turned off the water for an hour ( a note was on the door the previous day relaying this information).  There were dishes in the dishwasher when we arrived so I didn't know if they were clean or dirty and lint was oozing out of the dryer prior to me using it.  Steve tried to make the apt. comfortable for us leaving juice, bagels, and cream cheese along with a nice list of things to do in the area.  However, the overall experience was not what I expected.   "
690984,9701621,2014-01-06,1653625,Yvonne,"If you're a group traveling to Austin, this is the place for you. 6 of us stayed here very comfortably, and as a group of girls we really appreciated having 2 showers and a washer/dryer right in the apartment. The beds were very comfortable, there's closet space in each bedroom with hangers provided. We were there the first week in January so it was a little chilly and the heat worked great. The location couldn't be better - short walk to all the bars on 6th street and a lot of nearby restaurants (we also frequented the juice/yoga place a block away). Steve was very thorough with his directions beforehand and answered my phone call right away when we were checking in and couldn't figure out how to work the lock (which is really easy once you know what to do!).

Bottom line: If you're a group traveling to Austin and you don't stay here, you're making a mistake. Excellent value for the price."
690984,9791008,2014-01-10,10250156,Alice,"I stayed in Steve's Austin apartment with four of my friends and we had a great time. It's centrally located and very comfortable. We appreciated the extra effort made by Steve with providing orange juice, bagels and other goodies. The apartment has everything you could need. Would highly recommend to others. "
690984,9831099,2014-01-13,10472275,Hanna,"Great experience! Would definitely recommend to others.
"
690984,10059873,2014-01-28,4914449,Caitlin,"Steve's condo is in the perfect location right near many restaurants, bars, shopping and much more. The condo was very clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! "
690984,10227199,2014-02-08,4984006,Dave,"Perfect location! Right in the middle of it all! The home was very clean and as expected. Thanks, Steve!"
690984,10259793,2014-02-10,5628470,Ryan,"There really is nothing bad I can say about the stay. Steve was very organized with his directions, the apartment was clean and comfortable. This was my first experience with AirBnB and I was a little worried about the idea of renting from a stranger. But it all went off without a hitch. The location was very solid, just two blocks from great nightlife, and many good BBQ joints within walking distance. "
690984,10535090,2014-02-24,11293232,Emily,"A few of my friends and I had a girls trip planned and this condo was GREAT. It was large enough for all 6 of us to fit comfortably and the kitchen and living room area was big enough for us all to sit and hang out together. The condo was VERY clean upon arrival and Steven even had extra blankets and pillows available. The location was great - 3 blocks from Town Lake and 2 Blocks from 6th Street. We walked everywhere all weekend. An unexpected perk - there is a Starbucks right across the street! Everyone just walked over as they woke up to grab breakfast. 

Parking was a little tricky. The condo comes with 1 parking spot. We just parked the rest of the cars in the garage of the Marriott Hotel ($25/night). I guess you could also go put them in a free hotel lot farther away if you wanted. And there was plenty of street parking- although it was metered and a 5hr maximum in most places. Typical downtown parking issues - nothing you wouldn't expect. 

I would definitely recommend this condo and will be using it again if I have another group coming to Austin!
"
690984,10952842,2014-03-15,7180825,Bronwyn,"Steve was such a great host and the apartment is beautiful (exactly like the pictures). The apartment is so close to everything you need downtown, has a parking bay (parking in downtown Austin is hard to come by so the parking spot is a big plus). Everything was new and so clean that if definitely felt like a home away from home. I highly recommend this lovely condo! "
690984,11007045,2014-03-17,11204654,Damilola,"The look of the space is phenomenal. It was a nice place to escape to for the weekend. The location made it even better! My friends and I were literally able to walk to everything, making everything about our visit very convenient and stress free! "
690984,11080209,2014-03-19,8130268,Christopher,"Steve was a great host. The apartment was clean and spacious, and it is located in the heart of Austin. I would definitely go back. "
690984,11318065,2014-03-30,142660,Wesley,"My buddies & I stayed at Steve's place.  He was a good host and helpful with information regarding various details about his place, concerning Austin, etc.  We will definitely book his place again next year when we return to Austin!  Thanks man."
690984,11621262,2014-04-09,13149809,Alana,Family of 2 adults and 4 children really enjoyed our stay here. Apartment had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic. Thanks for a great stay.
690984,11733753,2014-04-14,6114047,Catherine,Great location - close to everything. And extremely helpful and responsive host. I definitely recommend skipping the hotel and staying here! 
690984,11894046,2014-04-18,13339542,Wendy,The location is excellent and within an easy walk of all downtown attractions. The beds were really comfortable and the apartment is well furnished. We loved this accommodation and would highly recommend it.
690984,11988177,2014-04-21,1598900,Sam,"Great location, great space, would recommend and stay again."
690984,12266112,2014-04-28,10260749,Lee,"We were four friends in town for a conference, and the location could not have been better for us. We were literally next door to the Austin Convention Center (where our conference was being held) and a short walk or cab ride away from all that Austin has to offer. The space was clean, up to date, and comfortably slept four adults. Easy communication with host regarding reservation and arrival details. Would definitely stay here again and/or recommend to others. "
690984,12612850,2014-05-06,5953210,Jessica,This was a great location to access all things Austin from. I so agree with a couple of comments that if you are staying here for work - the noise will probably get to you. For a party weekend - perfect!!! 
690984,12830251,2014-05-12,1200231,Brenda,"Host thought of every detail so instructions were clear and getting to the apartment. Soft sheets, thick towels, amazing location, it was a great stay! Thanks Steve!!"
690984,13401264,2014-05-27,1632554,Thu,"The place was wonderful for the four us! The location is perfectly situated in Austin – easily accessible to the airport shuttle and near the fun to be had on 6th street and Rainy street. We had a wonderful time exploring Austin and found it very easy to wander the city. It helped to have a great home base that was comfortable, clean and conveniently located. "
690984,13656926,2014-06-02,13057234,Ann,"We stayed here while attending an academic conference at the Hilton, and it was terrific. Just over one short block to the hotel, close to shops and the bat bridge. Steve answered an SOS phone call when we couldn't figure out how to lock the door and he responded quickly to an e-mailed query. My husband and I shared the master bedroom, our friends had their own rooms, so we all had privacy--and each paid about $80/night, as opposed to $200/night at the hotel. With free wifi, breakfasts in the apt., and leftovers for lunch, it was economical as well as fun. Downtown grocery shopping isn't great, so you may want to bring food. The best selection I saw was at the CVS on Congress."
690984,14263985,2014-06-16,2585341,Eli,Perfect Location in downtown.  Owner had coffee and bagels in fridge for guests. Bedding and Towels were very nice. Easily slept four guys for wedding.  cheaper than hotels and an overall nicer experience. 
690984,14603584,2014-06-23,3832456,Alex,Great apartment and great location. Would definitely stay again. 
690984,15441695,2014-07-09,12324291,Emily,"This apartment is perfect for young people looking to stay in downtown Austin. Literally just a 2 minute walk to 6th street, and a 5 minute walk to the bus stop that can take you all around Austin. The apartment was clean and stocked with extra towels, pillows, and pretty much everything you would need in the kitchen. The pool is located in a building across the street, and is quite small, but it was clean and quiet.

Steve answered all emails within a couple of hours so communication with him went smoothly."
690984,15695189,2014-07-14,16618842,Dara,"This apartment was fantastic and exactly as advertised! Right in the heart of downtown Austin, it was within walking distance (or a short drive) to everything we wanted to do. Everything was clean and there was plenty of room for me and my four friends. Steve made us feel welcome by sending detailed messages ahead of time letting us know what to expect. He left a ""guidebook"" at the apartment to welcome us upon our arrival. I would definitely recommend staying here if you plan on traveling to Austin!"
690984,16077662,2014-07-22,14099134,Ann,"Apartment was as per description.  Great location, comfy beds and good water pressure in showers.  My only complaint would be that the lounge/dining area is not big enough for 6 adults if you were cooking a meal and relaxing for a night.  It served the purpose for us because we literally used the apartment for sleeping."
690984,16656897,2014-07-31,6511644,Jordan,"Steve's apartment was wonderful! Friends and I used the space for a college reunion, and we found the location to be perfect for enjoying the downtown Austin area. The famous 6th street bars are only a short walk away and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. Checking in and out was incredibly easy, and Steve was easy to get in touch with. We were so impressed with the apartment and the city. Thanks again for a great stay!

Jordan"
690984,17092499,2014-08-07,9720708,Brandy,Great host! The apartment was in a great location and was available any time we needed him. Highly recommend his place if you're visiting Austin. 
690984,18109000,2014-08-22,15304187,Sverre,"Very central and great condo. We spend there two weeks and get fresh towels and sheets half the way trough, very good service. Additionally, Steve is very helpful if you want e.g. to know something about Austin.
I can only recommend this condo."
690984,18298569,2014-08-25,8612235,Kate,"This was a PERFECT location for a bachelorette party that I hosted. The space was very comfortable and had all of the amenities that we wanted. So easy to get in and out of the building and the onsite parking was so nice!
Steve was very accommodating with our check in and check out times and made us feel right at home. I would definitely stay here again. "
690984,18786396,2014-09-01,8111729,Wesley,Great apartment right in the heart of downtown Austin.  Walking distance to tons of great places.  Really comfortable for 6 of us and Steve made everything easy.  Would definitely stay here again!
690984,19072096,2014-09-06,15782157,Collin,Place was great! Location was excellent. Anyone looking to stay walking distance to all the action this is the place for you.
690984,19664804,2014-09-16,11512563,Judith,"Our stay was wonderful. We were thrilled with the bagels, cream cheese, juice and coffee which was left for our breakfast. Steve answered all our questions. The space was perfect for us. The beds, sheets, towels were lovely and the washer and dryer were an extra bonus! It is in a great location right downtown. There is a good bit of noise but you are right in a happening area! "
690984,20328427,2014-09-28,14510961,Michael,"The unit was centrally located and as described everything was within walking distance. The units' 3 bedrooms were great for our family and we experienced significant savings over a hotel. Overall very satisfied.  Only complaints were that the sitting room was small, as it only fit half of our family but on the flip side it made us experience more of Austin versus sitting around. Another, was the master bathroom wasn't very clean as it had mold on/in the shower, needs a ventilation system or a window.  But would consider these things very minor as we really enjoyed ourselves and the parking spot was a bonus. Would definitely recommend to others. Also appreciated the ease of access to unit/parking spot. Would rate at 4.8 out of 5.0."
690984,20989826,2014-10-09,9194195,Lauren,"Two of my colleagues and I stayed at this apartment while in town for SXSW Eco and it was just want we needed. Three bedrooms, two baths plus spacious living room and kitchen. Plus this is only half a block to the convention center and a short walk from plenty of restaurants, bars and shops.

Steve was a great host -- we had the chance to meet him in person during an interview for the TODAY Show as well. Super quick and responsive, and went out of his way to ensure we had a nice stay. 

Would definitely recommend this spot and we'll be looking to stay here again when our company is back in town. "
690984,21576078,2014-10-20,13322200,Mark,"Austin is one of my favorite places to visit and staying at this condo made it even better. We were a group of 3 so each had their own room with plenty of space. The location was fantastic and parking was easy. One person mentioned that the front bedrooms picked up some street noise at night but I didn't hear a thing in the master. The living room seemed a tad smaller than the photos but it was still adequate. This was about 500 times better than staying at a hotel. There were coffee, bagels, condiments, laundry detergent and plenty of soaps/shampoos. It really felt like staying at a good friend's house while they were out of town. I almost didn't want to write a review so I didn't let the secret out. The place was very clean and the complex seemed very safe. "
690984,21872955,2014-10-26,19836517,Steven,"What a great place.  Steve was very helpful in letting us check in early on the day we arrived.  He was extremely helpful with a small problem we had with one of the showers.  He replaced the shower head within a couple of hours.  Very impressive.
The condo was very comfortable for the four of us and  it was so close to  so many sights. Did a lot of walking and bike riding.  Plus the parking for our car was a plus.
Thank you again for letting us stay in  your condo.
Steve"
690984,22061237,2014-10-29,4244396,Katie,"We needed a place to stay for a conference and were really lucky to find Steve's place. It's literally right next door to the conference center which could not have been more convenient and with 3 bedrooms to share with friends, much more affordable than the hiked up hotel prices around.

Steve provided very detailed instructions ahead of time that made checking in quite seamless. Having a parking space is also of high utility in this busy downtown area.

The apartment was fantastic! It was easily one of the cleanest airbnb places I've stayed in and all the needed amenities are there. The beds were very comfortable and the towels were plentiful and soft. Even the numerical door lock which seemed standard for the building was great since we don't have to share/remember the key. The location can't be beat with tons of restaurants in the area and only 2 small blocks away from 6th street where all the bars are. 

Highly recommended!"
690984,22287550,2014-11-03,12828737,Kim,"Steve's place was terrific for F-1 week!  Very central to all the F-1 parties as well as restaurants.  Whole Foods is a short walk away so it was easy to stock up on snack items.  5 adults stayed for 4 nights. No problems at all - I did text Steve to ask to leave bags later than normal check out and it was no problem. Thanks again Steve.
"
690984,22427796,2014-11-06,21173022,Eddie,"Great spot in a great location.  Clean, Cozy and Comfy.  Would definitely stay again!  "
690984,22743759,2014-11-13,604221,David,"Steve really knows how to make you feel at home. We had breakfast food stocked in the fridge, and everything just where we needed it. Awesome condo, well furnished, plenty of room, great kitchen, and an excellent location near the convention center."
690984,22826509,2014-11-16,15043860,Amanda,"The house was as described and perfect for our girls weekend! We had everything we needed (except we had to buy toilet paper!) and the location was perfect! We were able to walk to most restaurants, shopping and to the bars. Thanks so much for a great experience and making it so easy to have a fun and memorable weekend in Austin! It was easy to find and access, had all info we needed prior to arrival and had lots of space for the four of us to spread out. Thanks!!!"
690984,22952685,2014-11-18,22538596,Danya,"Everything about this apartment was perfect. It's in the right part of town, very comfortable and clean. All of the directions were clear and very helpful. Would stay there again. "
690984,23320015,2014-11-29,13074237,Marilyn,"Everything was as described. Steve was very responsive. Great location, well kept condo, secure building . We were very comfortable."
690984,23497958,2014-12-02,22924911,Chris,"Great place, great location, great experience!  "
690984,23628275,2014-12-07,22213094,Katy,"We really enjoyed our stay in Austin at Steve's place.  He sent all the detailed information for arrival/departure the week before our trip which made things very easy.  He was also very responsive to questions prior to our arrival.  He left bagels in the fridge for breakfast and a very detailed binder with everything we needed to know for our stay.  The apartment fit 6 of us comfortably and we enjoyed walking to all Austin had to offer and parking our rental car in the dedicated parking spot.  The only downside was that some of my friends were not able to sleep soundly due to the outside noise from the street (rowdy people late at night, trains going by, etc) which may have been worse since we stayed over a weekend.  Overall it was a very nice stay, and a perfect way to celebrate my 30th birthday.  "
690984,23849353,2014-12-12,15261294,K.P. (Suba),"The apartment was located in a central place, with easy walking access to the convention centers as well as other major hotels in downtown. It was clean, with very clear instructions on getting in and out and some helpful information in a folder. Steve was responsive when I needed some help figuring out how to lock the front door. The only thing I did not realize that the apartment does not come with basic toiletries like tooth paste, bath soap etc; but that was not a big problem since HEB was a cab ride away. Over all great experience. Would recommend."
690984,23902807,2014-12-14,20491276,Dave,"Steve was a great host. He was responsive, flexible, and friendly. The place was as described in a great location-right near the heart of downtown! I would strongly recommend this place (and host) to anyone traveling with a large group to Austin."
690984,24151090,2014-12-21,11711702,Hanna,"Wonderful experience! Everything we wanted to see and do was within walking distance. The condo itself is surprisingly roomy and Steve provides towels/blankets/toilet paper, even a hair dryer and straightener.  Very modern furnishings. It felt like a private hotel suite. Parking only for one car but we didn't have a problem finding street parking.  There was a previous noise complaint so our party attempted to be as respectful as possible to the other residents. We enjoyed our stay and hope to book again in the future. "
690984,24310087,2014-12-25,2938807,Nadir,"Everything was fantastic. Great location. There were a few issues with hot water (might have been because we were 6 people all trying to shower at around the same time), but that was a small inconvenience given how great everything else was."
690984,24394828,2014-12-27,25092774,Bindya,The location was great and the apartment was very welcoming when we entered the place.
690984,25024258,2015-01-05,109384,Allison,"Our stay at Steve's condo was the perfect location for our 5-night NYE trip! The 2 queen beds and a twin bed, plus comfy couch housed the 7 of us perfectly. Close to Rainey, 6th Street, and down the street from bike rentals and Lady Bird Lake for hiking/biking. We picked up sandwiches/groceries at Royal Blue Grocery around the corner, which was really convenient. This was my first time using AirBNB but Steve was always prompt in replying to any questions I had re booking and things to do in Austin. A quick guide to Austin was also provided for first timers in Austin, which was a huge help. The only downside was that slightly loud on the street-side of the apartment at night, but nothing abnormal from any other city location. Would definitely recommend this place for a group!"
690984,25264127,2015-01-11,1229119,Shannon,"I stayed in Steve's condo with five friends while we were all attending a wedding in Austin.  The unit was great for our group, plenty of space and very convenient to the airport bus and easy for other transportation throughout the city.

Though we did not meet in person, Steve was an excellent host.  He proactively reached out a few days before our trip with very detailed instructions for accessing the condo.  Upon arrival, the unit was exactly as described, and he was even kind enough to leave some basic breakfast items (orange juice, bagels, coffee) in the refrigerator to kick off our stay. I reached out by text with one question during our stay, and he responded promptly with assistance.

The neighborhood was perfect for us - very close to the convention center and easy walking distance to bars and restaurants on and around 6th street.  Also an easy bus or cheap uber ride to other neighborhoods like Zilker Park or South Congress."
690984,25691773,2015-01-23,7983620,William,"As always, this place was great. Great location and a great accommodation. And, as always, the bagels were a nice touch."
690984,25801370,2015-01-26,25403614,Martin,Host was great.  Property was as described and very clean.  Amazing location in an amazing city.  Highly recommended.
690984,25889043,2015-01-28,908639,Clyde,"Steve made us feel at home for our quick layover in Austin. Not only was the location incredibly convenient, everything about our stay was as seamless as it could be. The condo was clean and the beds very comfortable. There was enough room for our entire team to meet. I'd definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a spot to stay in downtown Austin. Perfect for small groups."
690984,25924485,2015-01-30,23663344,Tanya,The condo was convenient to the downtown conference that we recently attended. The rooms were generously sized and very clean. Steve's instructions were spot on and helpful. It was a great find!
690984,26000467,2015-02-01,398077,Jessica,Steve was a great host.  He always responded to questions in a very timely manner.  He also provided very clear instructions and a pamphlet about Austin.  The apartment was the perfect location.  Only issue was street noise at night.
690984,26238827,2015-02-08,22346728,Joe,The place was exactly as described.  It was very clean throughout and there were no issues whatsoever.  It worked perfectly for the 4 of us who stayed there.  The location was ideal.  Only a short walk to 6th Street and many places to eat within a few blocks.  
690984,26598988,2015-02-16,21331751,Rob,"The condo was super convenient, and comfortable.  We came for the Austin Marathon and it could not have been a better location as only a couple blocks from both the finish and start areas.  Unit was in good shape, clean, and exactly as expected.  A problem with our TV was fixed very quickly when Steve had a maintenance person come a resolve it.  "
690984,26901369,2015-02-22,12494936,Bonnie,This was the perfect place for our group. We had  an event at the convention center and the location was ideal. There were six of us and it was so much better than staying in a hotel.  Check in was it easy and Steve was very accommodating and reachable. We would definitely stay here again.
690984,27106373,2015-02-25,25861186,Gracie,"The apartment was great, exactly what we needed. Steve laid everything out clearly and was very responsive during the booking process. I would definitely stay here again. "
690984,27244239,2015-03-01,22150848,Joseph,Everything was exactly as described. The condo is definitely in the perfect location for Austin. Everything was extremely easy to get to and within walking distance.  Check in and check out were very easy and straight foreward. If we ever come back this would be an ideal spot. 
690984,27530778,2015-03-07,116499,Allyson,"This is a great place to stay in downtown Austin. The apt is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and the location is close to everything you need. Our flight was delayed for hours and we did not arrive until 1AM. Steve had bagels, cream cheese, and OJ waiting for us in the fridge. 

The master bed was super comfy, a big plus in my book. A lot of the beds when you travel aren't very comfortable IMHO but this one was perfect.

Steve was super easy to get a hold of when I had a couple of questions prior to our arrival. I highly recommend this place."
690984,27754868,2015-03-11,21703199,Erin,"Overall, we had a great time. It was a  great location, super easy to get to and easy to get in and out of the condo. Steve replied promptly to emails and gave great suggestions for entertainment. There were some small things such as running out if hot water for showers but overall an excellent experience. "
690984,28115779,2015-03-18,6770156,Lucy,"Excellent location and apt was as described. Steve was in touch prior to arrival with all instructions and had fridge with some treats for us. However water pipes from apt above are noisy, be warned!"
690984,28397183,2015-03-23,3925438,Jonathan,"Steve's place was great - a perfect setup for my group. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of downtown with easy walking access to 6th St., Congress, the convention center, and more. I'd definitely stay here during my next visit to Austin and would 100% recommend this place to anyone.

"
690984,28695836,2015-03-29,24449040,Kyle,Great location and place was just as advertised. Would stay in again!
690984,29155964,2015-04-05,15467486,Mike,The apartment is centrally located and a perfect size. Steve made sure to have various items in the fridge and cabinets to make us feel at home. Very clean and close to everything downtown. 
690984,30065037,2015-04-17,6453916,Heather,"There were 5 of us who were all attending a conference at the Austin Convention center. It was a perfect location! We were exhibitors and were able to roll all our stuff right across the street. Having a free designated parking spot was really helpful as well since street parking is not easy to find and not free. The apartment is fully equipped and clean. When we ran short of Tp and paper towels, Steve was very prompt to have more sent over. He responded quickly when I needed to contact him.  The front bedroom can be noisy as it is on the street but the back bedroom is very quiet. All the rooms have nice big closets with a walk-in off the master bath.  There is no elevator but it is only one flight of stairs and worth it to be in such a prime location!  "
690984,30659577,2015-04-26,4058063,Sherri Lynn,Location PLUS!!! Steve's place was so convenient to everything!  Steve gave great directions and instructions prior to our arrival. We had no problem finding it and getting access to the property. Everything was clean and modern. We had 4 adults and it was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again if visiting Austin.
690984,31286485,2015-05-04,25367356,Gail,"Steve responded promptly to all of my questions. The condo's location was fabulous; right on the express bus from the airport and within walking distance to all downtown activities.  It was also came in handy to have a parking spot available.  The condo was clean and there were maps, books and useful information about Austin. It was nice that there were some supplies provided such as bottled water, coffee, tea, shampoo... All told it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Steve and his condo to others. "
690984,31872374,2015-05-11,3179503,Lisa,"Location. Location. Location.  Could not have asked for a better location for our trip.  But with the GREAT location, comes noises..."
690984,32332364,2015-05-17,29183235,Noah,Steve promised a 5 star experience and delivered all 5 stars. What a place! The location alone is worth the stay. It truly located within walking distance of all things wonderful in downtown Austin. The inside of the apartment was great as well. All the beds were very comfortable. Steve provided bedding and towels for all the beds (four of us). The common area was very open and a great place to relax between outings. Also having two bathrooms with showers made life easier in the mornings when everyone was getting ready. Though we didnt use the kitchen that much it was nice having the option to put leftovers away in the fridge. If you have a group of people coming to Austin to check out the sites and night life you must stay at this place! 
690984,33216204,2015-05-26,4605837,Dobi & Jill,Some of our family stayed at Steve's apartment while in Austin for our wedding weekend. They thought the place was clean and very nice and conveniently located within walking distance of most downtown attractions.
690984,33656534,2015-05-31,28764999,Conor,"The listing description was completely accurate, and the place could not have been in a better location! It was right downtown, completely walkable from everything. Steve was fantastic and super accommodating.  Could not have asked for a better time in Austin! My friends and I hope to return soon."
690984,34299918,2015-06-07,12876696,Jordan,"The apartment comes as advertised and is very centrally located. It's a good value for the money. The unit is a little dark, with little natural light"
690984,35365317,2015-06-18,877634,Ashwin And Sina,"Steve's apartment was absolutely perfect for us!  3 nice sized bedrooms.  2 of the bedrooms have large beds and 1 of the bedrooms has 2 twin beds.  There is one shared bathroom in the hallway and then another full bathroom in one of the bedrooms.  Steve had the fridge stocked with bagels, cream cheese, orange juice and other items.  Everything was clean and it was all very convenient.  We were able to get into the building and into the apartment with a coded keypad.  I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone.  We were attending a convention at the convention center which is literally next door.  Plenty of great restaurants within a block or two."

3) Steve was very prompt with my questions via text message.

This condo comes highly recommended!"
690984,38633505,2015-07-17,17020496,Tag,"Really enjoyed the location of this unit, only .5 blocks from the Austin Convention Center. Everything else is a 10 minute walk or less. Good amount of space for everything and the A/C worked well. Decent kitchen though we didn't use it very much. Would absolutely stay here again!"
690984,38810044,2015-07-19,8709810,Courtney,"We rented this apartment for a wedding weekend in July. We had 4 adults and 3 small children and the apartment was perfectly located, very secure, and quiet for the bustling location.  We had no issues with the simple check in/out. Excellent communication with host was an important bonus. "
690984,41092675,2015-08-04,13036825,Eugenie,Perfect location to discover Austin. The flat is spacious and offers everything you need to enjoy your stay. Thank you Steve for the clear instructions. Definitely will come back if I have the opportunity.
690984,42244170,2015-08-12,22990497,Brandon,"Neighborhood was as about as loud as you'd expect for begin so near 6th street, but nothing too bad. Great location for what we were looking for regarding the convention center!"
690984,42817876,2015-08-16,28700762,Tristan,This was my first time using airbnb. Steve was a great host. He kept in contact and his check in and check out instructions were clear and concise. His place was perfect for me and my buddies. It was a great location. Everything was walking distance from restaurants to bars. The unit itself was clean and well maintained. The fridge had snacks and the appliances were new. The air conditioning was great. The beds were comfortable and Steve left us plenty of towels. His place is perfect if you want to enjoy what downtown Austin has to offer! 
690984,43601666,2015-08-21,27237195,Ryan,Great place in a great location. Just steps from the convention center and near 6th street too. Steve was flexible and nice. Would stay there again for sure.

No conocimos a Steve, pero no hizo falta, sus instrucciones fueron muy precisas y no tuvimos problema.

Gran departamento, muy recomendable."
690984,45773436,2015-09-06,2430960,Mike,"The house was centrally located and walking distance to many restaurants, bars, etc. Access to the building/apartment was very easy because of the keyless entry. The condo was clean and spacious and looked just like the pictures. The maps, guidebooks and Austin binder were all much appreciated. We would totally stay her again!"
690984,46734224,2015-09-13,27997153,William,The location was great! Awesome place perfect for our weekend. cozy and comfortable place for our group.

690984,48165572,2015-09-24,25542040,Todd,"We LOVE being in the railyard when we stay in Austin. When we arrived to the condo, it hadn't been cleaned yet, but with a quick call to Steve, all was taken care of quickly! We typically aren't in the condo for long, as we have class most of the day, then go out for dinner each night. The stay was comfortable, and we really enjoyed being so close to everything downtown. Thanks for everything Steve!"
690984,48492574,2015-09-27,27738634,Connie,Steve was a great communicator and answered all our questions.  The location was great.  Would stay again.  CD
690984,49758281,2015-10-06,29000961,Jason,"Excellent location. Right downtown, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go including ACL. Very clean condo and comfortable beds. "
690984,50031121,2015-10-08,37241945,Hunter,The description of the place was very accurate. The gateway was a little tough to figure out with the keypad but the private parking spot was clutch and the apartment was very well kept. 
690984,50429108,2015-10-12,16094715,Emanuel,"Location: Very conveniently situated in the heart of downtown, one block from a B-cycle station, convention center and metro rail. A few blocks from the bus station to the airport. And just far enough removed from the boisterous nightlife on 6th St (2 blocks).

Accommodations:  The apartment is indeed well kept and the pictures are representative. It’s clean and modern. Towels and bedding are provided. It’s not quite a hotel so be prepared to bring or buy your own soap and personal toiletries. One small downside is the main bedroom, the one with the private bathroom — it does not have a closet and has a window that looks out to (and in from) a public walkway.  The first morning I was a bit surprised to awake to see people right outside the window standing there and talking. There are blinds and curtains to close for privacy. In fact, because it’s a low floor, you may want to adjust all the bedroom blinds (view to the street below) if you’re on the shy side.

Host: The instructions provided were clear so I was able to enter and ‘checkout’ without any problem.  I only had one question regarding a lighting issue while I was there, and Steve responded very quickly to troubleshoot.

Altogether I had a great visit and would stay here again."
690984,51267309,2015-10-19,1339217,Jeff And Zoe,We had a great time. The condo is located perfectly.

5328865,28212796,2015-03-20,1446064,Matt,It was great. The place was exactly as described and in a quiet neighbourhood close to the metro. Kim and Mike were great hosts and even picked me up from the airport on my late flight in. Would definitely stay again. 
5328865,28911940,2015-03-31,17256588,Patrick,"I really don`t know where to start. Kimberly and Michael became like friends to us. They are such wonderful hosts and a great couple. The communication with Kimberly was smooth, the welcome of Michael was hearty and the room was perfectly prepared. We went to a concert with Kimberly and Michael on our arriving day.  And we could spend much time with`em having great conversations.
Their house is centrally located and        in a safe area. Free-parking is certainly available. The room offers  everything you need. There`s a little food store around the corner. If the weather is good, you can enjoy the marvelous backyard...and so on :)
I would say that we`ve had the perfect airbnb-experience. I do highly recommend to stay at their home. Thank you very much Kimberly&Michael, you made our stopover in Austin unforgettable!"
5328865,29785513,2015-04-12,23677971,Bethany,Kimberly and Mike were very welcoming. The space was clean and comfortable. This was a great home base for seeing Austin.

5328865,30234183,2015-04-19,11946241,Jim,Kimberly was a great host and we enjoyed our stay there.   The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the entire place was kept nice and clean.  We were very pleased overall.   
5328865,30427869,2015-04-21,31272691,Ron And Nancy,"Our host, Michael, was fantastic.  He spent time suggesting restaurants which were fabulous.  Austin has some of the best food I ever had.  (Think deviled eggs with truffles & bacon, yum! at the Salty Sow) He also made recommendations for places to visit.  It was like we had known him for years.  Plus their kitty is a love bug.  
They left a bottle of Cabernet and two wine glasses in our room, which was a nice touch.  Their home was spotless and absolutely adorable.   They had breakfast foods, including greek yogurt, assorted teas eggs and cereal.  We had the run of the kitchen.  
We stayed in their spare bed room, with our own bathroom and felt completely at home.  There is some very nice art work through out the house.  
The house is located close to the center of town just off a main route.

5328865,30729212,2015-04-26,29104064,Taylor,My boyfriend and I had a great stay! Our room was clean and set up all cute. The house was clean and comfortable. Kimberly and Michael were very friendly and inviting. Also was very flexible with our schedule. Would totally book with them again ☺️
5328865,31157100,2015-05-02,32355440,Ashley,"Kimberly and Michael were fantastic hosts! I had to schedule my trip last minute for a late evening arrival, and Kimberly responded almost instantly to my request. The room itself was very comfortable, clean, and quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for - there was even a bottle of wine waiting for me (which I didn't get to try, regrettably, as I was arriving late for an early morning departure). Kimberly, Michael and Tortellini (the cat) were very friendly and welcoming, and I'm only sorry that my stay was so short! "
5328865,32211971,2015-05-15,26273887,Irene,"This was my first time renting a place through airbnb and I have to say that it couldn't have been better! The house is beautiful, the room is clean and spacious as well as the bathroom! Kimberly and Mike were the perfect host, very attentive! Also, Mike gave me and my friend a lift twice as we didn't have a car, which we thought was really nice. I would totally recommend this place to everyone!"
5328865,32381253,2015-05-17,31512697,Kerstin,"Dies war unsere erste airbnb-Nacht und sie hätte nicht besser sein können :-) Das Zimmer bei Kimberly und Michael ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet - so wie das ganze Haus wirklich hübsch ist. Alles war sehr sauber und wir haben uns direkt wohlgefühlt. Es stand auch eine Flasche Wein für uns bereit, wir sind nur leider nicht dazu gekommen, sie zu trinken. Aber dieser Geste zeigt sehr anschaulich wie die Kommunikation mit Kimberly funktionierte: sehr,sehr freundlich und sympathisch, absolut unkompliziert. Und: die Katze Tortellini ist wirklich sehr süß :-)
Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen!"

5328865,33488383,2015-05-28,5452521,Ana,Kimberly and Michael are warm and friendly hosts.  The room is lovely and a perfect space to work.  The neighborhood is close to the University of Texas-Austin.  I would stay here again! 
5328865,33714025,2015-05-31,27048346,Ellen,Hosts were very welcoming and place was very nice!
5328865,34607691,2015-06-09,10900244,Ashkan,"Kimberly was great! Her house is very beautiful & clean and the room is very spacious & comfortable. You have your own private bathroom, which is great. She even suggested a few places for me check out during my stay in Austin. The East Side is where it'(email hidden) very centrally located from all the restaurants, breweries, and bars on 6th & South Congress. Also, very close to the Green belt area for some awesome hiking & biking trails with swimming holes. Über is readily available and at a very low cost. I would highly recommend this place to whomever might want a spend a few days exploring the craziness of Austin."
5328865,34983779,2015-06-14,33515543,Talha,"Instructions were easy, they did a great job of making sure we knew what to do even when they weren't home. Great location, easy walk/driving to many of the things we wanted to see in Austin. Close to the airport as well, and the private room and bathroom was clean and perfect for a couple. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in that area."
5328865,36355151,2015-06-27,6733162,Anna,"Kimberly was very accommodating of us when we made plans last minute to book with her. The room was very cute and neat and it was really nice to have our own bathroom. Free parking on the street was convenient. The house was an easy bike ride to downtown.  Overall, we had a very nice stay with Kimberly and Michael! "
5328865,37398548,2015-07-06,35487467,Gregory,"Stayed for just over a week here, the hosts were amazingly kind. Always sure to say hello and ask how our day is going and more than happy to help us find things to do in the area, not to mention the gorgeous back yard to sit and read a book in. It's a wonderful place to stay with plenty of entertainment 5 minutes away, not to mention a pretty cool cat :)"
5328865,37750159,2015-07-10,3199623,Mary,"Kim made checking in very easy and was flexible with times. The house was clean and the room was charming and bright and had everything we needed. We felt very welcome and comfortable in their home. The neighborhood was perfect for us, as we have friends nearby, and we could walk to restaurants and other things on Mason St. "
5328865,39720328,2015-07-25,26560002,Jillian,"The listing description is definitely accurate! The location is near the 6 bus, which can take people into the city easily. An Uber ride from the house is also quick and cheap, thanks to its proximity. The owners catered to our schedule and made it an easy and enjoyable stay.  "
5328865,40064683,2015-07-27,37933371,C,"Kimberly's place is fantastic. It's a small 2 bedroom house that's equipped with everything you need. It was so clean at first glance that I thought the owners had another house they actually lived in; we thought this was a second home. The guest room also has all kinds of knick knacks and private possessions that are valuable; we appreciated the trust that the hosts show in leaving valuable stuff with Airbnb guests. I think it says so much about them. The porch is very charming and everything is in top notch working condition - the key to the front door works perfectly (sometimes you have to jiggle them endlessly) and everything inside the house works in top order. We had never seen such a well ordered house. The only drawback is that it's not a walkable neighborhood at night - our Uber driver gave us a long lecture on the neighborhood (East Austin). But it's truly an up and coming neighborhood - walkable during day. The price was low, but it was more than made up by the home and hosts. Just make sure to Uber it at night.  We met Michael very briefly and he could not have been a more respectful, easy host to stay with. For the price, I would stay again and recommend anyone to do so."
5328865,40261908,2015-07-29,37953029,Monique,"We enjoyed our one-night stay in Austin and felt very welcomed. We were unable to meet Kimberly, but were happily greeted by her husband Michael who offered suggestions for dinner and activities in Austin. The room was very comfortable and clean (and very cute -- great personality). We appreciated the access to a private bathroom in living room. The location was good in that we could easily drive to local spots to eat/drink. Street parking was convenient."
5328865,40775516,2015-08-02,36835276,Judy,"Kimberly and Michael are great hosts. They are both very welcoming and gave off a very positive vibe upon entering their home. They immediately offered to help my boyfriend and I unload and unpack our car; they also took the time to ask about our plans and what we have done so far. The guest room we stayed in was very clean and unique. We loved it. We also had our own private bathroom next the living room; everything was very neat and clean too. Kimberly and Michael are also very prompt at responding to email and texts. I had to let them know about a few last minute changes the day we were arriving, and they were very accepting and lenient. We had a great time talking to each other, and definitely recommend their home to stay in. Everything stated in their house listing is accurate too."
5328865,43037555,2015-08-17,33495729,Agnieszka,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Kimberly and Michael's house for 2 weeks and we loved it. The house was very clean and cosy, and everything was working perfectly. In some ways I felt more comfortable than in my own house. Their cat was adorable. The hosts themselves were amazing; very friendly and accommodating, and ready to help us whenever we needed it. They gave us a long list of recommendations on what to do in Austin. Because our plane was delayed, we only arrived at the house at 1 am, but there was no problem with the check in. I would definitely recommend the place, the description was accurate, and the place not only met but also exceeded our expectations! We are thinking of going back to Austin next year and we would definitely try to stay at their place again."
8269207,48436828,2015-09-26,40605683,Adam,"The Tiny House was a great place to stay. It has just enough space for one or two people to sleep conformable. Great amenities. Full bathroom and shower. Walking distance to east 6 street. Ton's of great places to eat and drink near by. Interesting old cemetery to check out across the street. I would stay at the house if I am back in Austin. 

"
8269207,49038579,2015-09-30,1998526,Stephanie,"The tiny house was a very cozy place to stay in a great neighborhood. We had everything we needed and the house itself was super-clean with just enough room to kick back and relax and watch some TV at the end of the day. The neighborhood was quiet, but close enough to 11th, 7th, and 6th streets to have plenty to do within walking distance."
8269207,49657793,2015-10-05,33597980,Rebekah,"This was my first airBnB experience, and I was really pleased. The tiny house was well-built and just the perfect size for a couple for a weekend. It also was clean, well-stocked, comfortable, and perfectly located in Austin. The backyard offers privacy and quiet, but this place is also really close to the highway so it was easy and fast to get everywhere we needed to go. 

Furthermore, it was easy to communicate with George and his family. They were responsive and quite hospitable. I would definitely stay at this perfect tiny house again!"

Brooke was very responsive and easy to get ahold of whenever I had a question regarding the house or a general question about the Austin area. The house is located within walking distance of some cute neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants and bars. "

The house was open and spacious, beautifully decorated with a relaxing atmosphere. I wish I were better at describing it because it is by far one of the coolest places I've ever stayed at. Brooke also gave me great suggestions for restaurants, kayaking, brunch, and music venues. She helped make my weekend in Austin absolutely perfect! "
6803010,49595333,2015-10-05,35557669,Theresa,Brooke made check in easy and fast.  She left us a list of places to eat and made us feel right at home!

The owners were very hands off, but always stayed in touch. I would recommend this home to any couple or small family that wants to be in the middle of the action without breaking the bank."
5410998,28183712,2015-03-19,3722751,Jean-Michel,"I stayed at Michelle's place for a week during the SXSW festival. Michelle was a fantastic host & super friendly. Her home is conveniently located near bus routes for a 20 minute ride into town or a cheap Uber trip. At the end of the road there is also a vegetarian restaurant that prepares great food if you need it.

I would definitely stay there again."

Plenty of clean towels and linens ready to use. The Beds were very comfortable! Before and during my stay Mariana was always prompt at answering any questions and made me feel very welcome coming into her home. I honestly had no complaints, all around good experience. This was my first Airbnb experience and I can only hope my future Airbnb bookings will be as great as this one was. "

The house was absolutely perfect. Plenty of space of our group and a nice backyard and grill to cook with. It was just a short $10-$15 cab to downtown Austin. Overall it was a fantastic trip and I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Austin!
6477553,47747688,2015-09-21,8792307,Jennifer,Feels like a brand new home!  There was plenty of room for everyone.  It was a great location to attend an event at Circuit of the Americas.  Great communication with Mariana.  Would definitely stay again!

La casa es mejor de lo que se ve, gran espacio para un grupo grande y es una casa extremadamente limpia y bien cuidada.

Fuimos al festival ACL y fue una gran opción para quedarnos. La recomienda ampliamente.

Por suerte conocimos a los papás de Mariana y son encantadores.
No necesitas nada más quedándote ahí.

904354,3816855,2013-03-18,1975628,Dean,"Fantastic place, comfortably accommodated a big group of folks in town for SXSW. David was really nice and made sure everything was taken care of even though he was abroad. Overall great experience and the place itself is pretty special and easy to get to downtown. Only gripe is I wish we'd been able to use the pool but perhaps if/when we all come back in the summer! "
904354,3890039,2013-03-25,3022105,Alex,"For the price this place is great!  Pool House is the best setup.  Garages apartment looked to be very nice as well.

Very close cab ride to all the nightlife ($10).  

Plenty of linens/towels/etc.

I would stay here again if I needed a large amount of beds.  "
904354,4073968,2013-04-08,473364,Eddie,"David has a great place for a large group wanting to hang out around the pool. The place is in a fun neighborhood, (long) walking distance to downtown and E. 6th bars, but very close to some great food and coffee.

Couldn't have asked for more for the price."
904354,4250709,2013-04-22,5536506,Matthew,A great place to stay for a large group!  Location provided easy access to the city and the swimming pool was great to come back to for our leisure time.  David was easy to work with and will make sure your stay will be a comfortable one. 
904354,4684876,2013-05-20,3261968,Krysten,"This was the perfect place to host my friends bachelorette party! There was plenty of room for our entire group and the two houses each had a kitchen and two bedrooms as well as ample sleeping space in the living room.  Having two houses was great so when some women wanted to sleep we would go to the other house.  The owner was very friendly and stayed in the studio garage apartment but we rarely saw him.  The best part of the house was the pool! It was very refreshing considering how hot it gets in Texas.  Lastly, the location couldn't have been beat.  Located in the upcoming Eastside and only a half mile from everything else downtown has to offer.  Definitely a great place for a group gathering.   "
904354,4832183,2013-05-28,2742065,Matt And Gabriela,"A large group of friends and I rented all 3 units of David's compound for the memorial day weekend. Overall, the place was perfectly suited for our needs providing plenty of sleeping options, bathrooms and kitchens. We found ourselves right at home in the comfortable accommodations and enjoyed the pool when it wasn't raining. 

David was easy to coordinate with, staying in constant contact and answering any questions that we had. I would highly recommend this place to any large group who is looking for a fun place to stay that is close to all the action. "
904354,5059064,2013-06-10,4119139,Hartley,"We had a bachelor party of 9 stay here for the weekend and it was the perfect place to relax and beat the summer heat, while close enough to walk to Rainey St, 6th St, or E. 6th St bars. The pool and the great trees keep the compound much cooler than the rest of the city....great for the summer. The pool is nice and was the focus while we were there, the houses did there job.....clean and comfortable with good beds and plenty of air mattresses for a large group.  All 9 of us would certainly stay here again. Yelp will tell you every single restaurant is 4 Stars in the area....you can't go wrong with Las Cazuelas right around the corner for an eclectic and gritty mexican restaurant with huge portions of good food for a few bucks. Tip: bring mosquito repellant/citronella candles for the pool area, Austin can be buggy if you're not from mosquito territory ;)"
904354,5182012,2013-06-17,6214653,Anthony,"David was very accommodating and this was a perfect place to stay in Austin in the summer (pool was critical in the heat!). It was easy to get cabs to arrive to take us to downtown/6th St, though you could walk there in about 20+ minutes if you wanted. There are good bars/restaurants within walking distance in the neighborhood, make sure to check out Live Oak BBQ if you don't want to wait at Franklins and Weatherup (speakeasy type bar a block away)!  We also had a mishap with the front door that he was able to work with us on, and I appreciate him being a reasonable owner that clearly made sure the place was made up for guests arriving. The flexible arrival and departure was also really helpful. Perfect place for a group! "
904354,5456555,2013-07-01,6367596,Emily,I love this place! My friends and I usually do an Austin trip once to twice a year and this house was perfect. It easily accommodated our 10+ guests. It's so close to downtown and 6th street which was ideal for us. There are good food trucks within short walking distance. David was a very helpful host. He responded quickly to any questions we had. We didn't have any problems with the house. Our favorite part was the saltwater pool! I would recommend this house for a large group looking to make great memories in a beautiful house. We would without a doubt stay here again. 
904354,5917880,2013-07-22,1710976,Jeff,"This place is awesome, and perfect for big groups that would prefer to be close to downtown.  David was very quick to respond at all times. We loved it here. "
904354,6433452,2013-08-12,7613533,Matt,"We had a great time at the Wild West Compound. The location is great, only a few minutes from downtown. The pool was nice during the day and the sleeping arrangements were quite nice. 

Just as described. 

We will likely be back soon. Highly recommended. "
904354,6988492,2013-09-02,6431636,Eduardo,"Dave has a great place in a great location in Austin Texas. The pool is ideal, especially in the summer. It's perfect for a large group looking for a space to have fun and be near some of the best Austin has to offer. "
904354,7329817,2013-09-16,4333691,Brandon,"This place is exactly what we had in mind for my bachelor party, and 2 people that were there with us this past weekend already said they are hoping to rent it for their own bachelor parties. Our group never felt anywhere near cramped (each able to sleep on there own bed or air mattress), and the 3 separate houses arrangement allows for those that want a little more peace and quiet to isolate themselves. Also, the main house is big enough to fit 10+ people for an indoor gathering if you need (useful for breakfast for our group), though the outdoor pool/yard space was certainly our favorite attraction.  We never had any problems getting to/from downtown or finding food, and David was quick to respond via both airbnb and email when that became necessary. Lastly, an oft-overlooked bonus for big groups - there is a gate code to get in so you don't need to worry about everyone in your group not having a key and people getting locked out."
904354,8693673,2013-11-12,9192309,Rachel,"We loved this (these) house(s). It was the perfect place for a large group. The neighborhood is in a great location, close to everything fun! The house was clean upon arrival and David was very accomodating to our check in time. This is a great place for a group!"
904354,9554884,2014-01-02,10330628,Erik,Great stay at the Wild West compound. An older house with tons of charm and space for family and friends. The backyard has plenty of space and there are some nice porches for sunny Austin days. Highly recommend it.
904354,9948999,2014-01-21,835866,John,"This location is perfect for large groups and is convenient to Rainey St., East 6th Street and Old 6th Street is just a short cab ride away. David was easy to work with and very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again. "
904354,10419743,2014-02-18,8504316,Ben,"I rented the compound for my brothers bachelor party for 12 people and everyone was really impressed with the property and location. David was very accommodating, providing enough blankets/beds for everyone that was attending and there were zero complaints. The kitchen and grill was nice to grill fare from local Carnicerias. 

Its walkable distance to E 6th St bars and train station to head further downtown and also not far from Rainey St. -- you'd need to take a cab to get to South Congress but its not bad at all. 

I would absolutely recommend the property -- I'm trying to find an excuse to head back down and rent again. "
904354,10785285,2014-03-07,2365992,Monty,"We made 'the compound' our home for SXSW Interactive 2013 and it didn't let us down. A large group of work colleagues, the 'three building' approach enabled us to group nicely by gender and ensure that the group had sufficient space and not on top of each other.

David very generously assisted with air mattresses for our larger than planned guest numbers, this worked well, the bedrooms were very spacious and easily accommodated an additional Queen Size air mattress.

Mega size TV's everywhere and cable with more channels than I could count. Super speedy broadband covered most of the property - which catered for our large group without any speed issues, but didn't quite reach the pool house - keep this mind if you're booking a large group from who might need to be online the most.

It's only a 10-12 minute walk from Willow St to Convention Centre. There may also be some bikes available for your use - check in with David prior to your arrival. If you're a runner, you're in luck - literally a half mile down to the lake and there are miles of uninterrupted running trails East or West.

East Austin / Chavez really is emerging as the hip and happening part of town. The cultural melting pot combines incredible Mexican food as well as a coffee and breakfast scene that is showing the rest of the country how a real coffee is made. The best advice I can offer on the East-side - ""Don't judge a book by the cover"".

One of our guests summed it up as follows ""a great space, close to town with great Mexican just around the corner"" - I can certainly attest to the frequency in which Las Cazuelas was frequented.

Thanks very much David, we had a great (website hidden). Our only regret is that the weather didn't let us put the pool to use - never-mind, there's always 2015..."
904354,11044229,2014-03-18,5369728,Bassam,"Great Place! Great Location! Great stay! 

We were a mixed group and the divided sections of the house made it great for group fun but also allowed for the couples to have a private space. Pool and BBQ were the icing on the cake. 

David was a great host and always available and helped us massively to organised our stay as we came from overseas."
904354,11797602,2014-04-15,5944646,Kasey,"Second time staying here, just as good as the first. The place is clean and huge and great for large gatherings. This is our new go to spot for when we bring the team to Austin. Thanks"
904354,12004412,2014-04-21,745779,D. Rice,"A bunch of friends met up in Austin and this compound was perfect for our weekend trip! Shared a few messages with David the week of the booking and it was very well done. The furnishings are simple and all three buildings are very spacious. The neighborhood is in a great location in east Austin, probably 20 minutes or so to walk to Rainey Street, if the weather is nice. There are parks and taco stands in the area. Willow Street is very laid back and the surrounding lots are large so no issues with the neighbors. If you need a place to sleep a lot of people in a super cool town there is no better option than this compound! Thanks, David."
904354,12436453,2014-05-02,4747080,Katie,"This compound was absolutely perfect for our week stay in Austin!! Everyone had their own private space but the porch and outdoor area were perfect for communal dining and hanging out. Will definitely be back to stay again!

Also perfect location. Close to everything & in the artsy side of town. Easy to work with & accommodating."
904354,12809486,2014-05-12,4643588,Annie,"David's Wild West Compound was the PERFECT location for the recent bachelorette party I hosted in Austin, TX. Everything about the place was top notch, and David was extremely responsive throughout the booking process and with all communication leading up to the rental weekend. What a great place! I highly recommend this location for your large group!"

904354,13656106,2014-06-02,10524083,Tim,"David was response in the pre-stay process and gave detailed and helpful instructions for the property. It was a terrific venue for a bachelor party, and the guests often would rather stay at the property than go out. That being said, it is easy walking distance to terrific BBQ and a 20 minute walk to Rainey. The AC in all three units worked well and made for a comfortable stay in warm weather."
904354,13943258,2014-06-09,10418621,Benjamin,"The house is great; perfect place for a bachelor party! Location is fantastic, short walk to Rainey Street and just a slightly longer walk to 6th.
Room size and beds were good, plenty of space for all of our party. The pool is the best part! We ended up cancelling some of our plans and spent one of the days just lounging around it.
David was great to work with. He provided all of the information for checking in and checking out in a timely manner. "
904354,14604087,2014-06-23,13783806,Bryan,We stayed here for my brother's bachelor party and had a great time. David was very easy to work with. The house is perfect for a fun weekend and is within walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars.
904354,15390096,2014-07-08,13042110,Robin,"The wild west compound was great. The three separate houses meant our large group had plenty of room to spread out, and the pool area gave us an excellent spot to congregate and relax. The place is very close to downtown so it was really convenient for us to go out and explore the city, but it also has ample kitchen equipment (and a grill!) so we were able to cook some meals if we felt like staying in."
904354,15743139,2014-07-15,10527387,Matt,"The compound was everything it was advertised to be and more. Perfect for a large bachelor party. It's fairly close to everything - short drive to the airport, easy walked to east sixth, and a more than doable walk to west sixth. 

David was attentive and responded quickly when we had questions or issues. 

Highly recommended. "
904354,16061387,2014-07-21,14362004,Cy,This place was awesome and I would stay here again.  Very comfortable for a large group and close to all the night life in downtown.  
904354,16453381,2014-07-28,13490425,Mark,"Good house in a perfect location in east Austin. We had 8 people and had more than enough space. 

The salt water pool is the star of the property. The pool is mostly shaded and a perfect temperature - great for hot Texas days. We spent most of our time poolside when at the house. Property is massive and very private - a plus for large groups.  

The house appears to be almost exclusively used for rentals - so it has that feel. Don't expect anything cozy or warm. Rooms are pretty bare with minimal, basic furniture. 

Overall - pretty good house, great location, amazing pool.

"
904354,18871033,2014-09-02,13375630,(website hidden)(email hidden),"The compound is awesome, literally the perfect place to host a bachelor party.  We all had an awesome time and the weekend couldn't have been as great if we had stayed anywhere else.  "
904354,19184364,2014-09-08,10784830,Michael,Wow. What an incredible place. I had my bachelor party here and it by far and away beat my expectations. A lot of space for a large group. David was responsive and an extremely fast manor and was able to help with any questions I had regarding Austin. Very close to downtown and walking distance to convenience store and food. Highly recommended!!!
904354,19587800,2014-09-15,14651693,Andrew,"We had a bachelor party of 16 at the compound this past weekend. Cannot say enough good things about the experience. David was easy to work with and made the booking, payment, and check-in process extremely easy even though our numbers fluctuated up and down between the time we booked and the time we arrived. With 16 people we thought the house might be a bit cramped but there was plenty of room and between beds, couches, and aerobeds everyone was comfortable throughout the weekend. We were running around all weekend but probably the best time we all had was just hanging at the house and at the pool as a group. We had some heavy rain over the weekend but didn't hurt the experience at all as we had a lot of fun at the house drinking beers and listening to music. The outdoor area is probably where we spent 80% of our time at the house and makes this compound really unique and special. Surrounding area has a gas station/market and some really good Mexican and BBQ spots within a block or two and the house is close enough to downtown to walk if you wanted to. At the very least its a short cab ride away. Also the driveway can fit a few cars which worked great for us as we had 2 rentals. Recommend this house to any large group looking for a place to stay together and be close to everything in Austin. Will definitely book again in the future."
904354,20000007,2014-09-22,14727935,Ira,Host was great. No major surprises. Awesome setup for a bachelor party. More than enough space for all of us. Loved the layout. Neighborhood and location were just ok but other than that it was solid. 
904354,20410624,2014-09-29,16815349,Andrew,"Excellent house and wonderful host. Everything was just as explained and pictured if not better. Certainly a great fun spot for a getaway with friends.

Thanks!"
904354,21275302,2014-10-14,2286613,Vanessa,"This was the perfect place for our 40th birthday celebration.  All the beds are comfy.  Lots of blankets and extra sleeping spaces if needed.
Would definitely stay here again."
904354,21939888,2014-10-27,17425612,Matt,"Compound was a great base for our group - easy Uber in/out of downtown, and some good options in walking distance. Easily accommodated our group of 12"
904354,22642048,2014-11-11,5720691,Dylan,"This house was exactly as described and was a great home base for our crew of 12.  With multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens, you can find plenty of space without crowding too much.  The location is near a few great restaurants, so that's a big plus.  David was very easy to work with, and I highly recommend this rental to anyone with a large group."
904354,22943348,2014-11-18,19038634,Ron,"As an Airbnb rookie David Rudick was super easy to deal with and pretty much walked me thought everything, which was great. 

The ""RealWorld"" house as we called it was awesome, all 3 living areas have a great set up and have that at home feel.

It's just like the post says 5-10 mins from everything downtown Austin. We had a rental car and got everywhere we needed to be in 5 mins. The house is less then 10 mins from the airport and 5 mins from 6th street. If you can budget a rental car go with Uber, it's super cheap in Austin."
904354,23682940,2014-12-08,18213305,Greg,"Great spot for a bachelor party. Even though the weather didn't cooperate (in Dec), we still used the outdoor space a lot. Close by several great restaurants and close to rainey street and east 6th street. Would highly recommend the space for a big group."
904354,24711116,2015-01-02,21964180,Ben,"David was really great. All of the instructions were clear and easy to follow. He responded very quickly to all of my communication and was friendly. He made sure we were taken care of, but also gave us space to do our own thing. 

The space is perfect for large groups. You have the opportunity to come together in accommodating and comfortable shared spaces, but also to retreat to private spaces when you need some alone time. We highly recommend paying to rent the whole compound because the apartment above the garage is beautiful.

We hosted a dinner for everyone who came the first night we were there, and the main dining room was great for that. Was truly a beautiful night in.  

It's an easy Uber or Lyft ride to anything you want to get to in Austin, and the neighborhood it is in feels safe and is very comforting. 

The aesthetic is really pleasing and welcoming. Everything is clean and fresh. Feels like the kind of place you can be very comfortable in, like staying at a friend's. 

Overall, we'd highly recommend both David and this compound. Was everything we wanted and more for our trip to Austin. Thanks David! "
904354,25358638,2015-01-13,24676265,Bill,Place was perfect for our needs. Large group in town for cyclocross nationals. Compound has everything you need in an eccentric setting. It's a no-frills environment but perfect as a home base when in town with 10+ people.
904354,25738758,2015-01-25,12199915,Gary,"Very good location, David was an extremely accommodating host.

Highly recommended!"

904354,27315864,2015-03-02,23380331,Kyle,"The House was largely as expected.  Although the weather didn't cooperate with us, the stay was nice.  The neighborhood is really convenient for all Austin destinations.  We could either walk or it is a $4 Uber ride.  The house is pretty bare bones, but it has most of what you need.  I'd describe it as Spartan.  The Host was nice, informative, and mostly left us on our own (unless we had questions).  "
904354,28375213,2015-03-23,3264447,Erik,"The house was great, in 15 minutes walking distance from Austin Convention Center. Very nice neighborhood. House was great and could easily accomodate 10 persons.
David was very available and responded to all our questions in a positive way. A great stay for us during SXSW."
904354,28773196,2015-03-30,19457854,Christopher,This place was perfect for my brother's bachelor party weekend. David was easy to coordinate with and was flexible with our timing. Highly recommend!
904354,30970623,2015-04-30,266973,Amanda,"This place was absolutely perfect for our bachelorette party group of 15. There was plenty of bed space for us all and even extra air-mattresses hidden in every corner. The salt water pool was super cool and we spent most of our time in the outdoor area. The location is ideal - we walked to bars/restaurants on 6th st or Rainey and took ubers or cabs back. David responded quickly. There were enough towels, linens etc etc etc. There was also enough parking for all four of our cars. We used all three spaces (house, guest house, pool house) and there were three bathrooms - one in each. Perfect!"
904354,31283169,2015-05-04,8471059,Brian,"I hosted a bachelor party for 10 guys here in May.

It is the perfect venue, and David was extremely responsive throughout the trip.

I would definitely come back to use this property!"
904354,32446742,2015-05-18,19787129,Amanda,"We had a group of 15 girls here and the experience was overall good.  The house is in a good location, but if you are looking for a place with a pool to actually swim in, I would keep looking.  The pool was so murky you could not see the bottom, and there was trash throughout the courtyard area...old band-aids for example.  David was really great to work with and Dominic- maintenance - was extremely helpful as well.   David was quick to respond with any questions or concerns we had throughout the weekend.  "
904354,33761919,2015-06-01,18997958,Fred,Just stayed here for a bachelor party this past weekend. The place was ideal for a large group. House is located very close to all downtown destinations which we took short (very cheap) ubers to. David was great to work with. Highly recommended for a memorable Austin bachelor party experience.
904354,34396034,2015-06-08,24629411,Blake,"Great!! Perfect for the 10 we had there for a bachelor party. Sleeps at least 5 more people comfortably, if not a few more. Location is about a 15 minute walk to 6th or Rainey St, but Uber's only run about $5 to get you there. David was great. One of the guys accidentally left his iPad behind and David contacted me immediately to let us know. We were able to go back and get it before getting to the airport. I would definitely recommend to this to a group of bachelors or bachelorette, or someone looking for a unique experience. Very cool property.

David was perfect to work with and helped immediately with any questions we had. The pool was an absolute favorite and we certainly made use of it. There were lots of little places within a mile to walk to (smoothies, breakfast tacos, convenience store). Plus any time we took ubers to go out it was usually under $10. Perfect place to experience Austin with a big group!"
904354,43019502,2015-08-17,28422119,Loren,"David was very helpful with all of our needs and questions.  The house is perfect for large groups, we had 11 guys and we all had our own bed, couch, or air mattress.  This house is in a perfect location, just a 5 minute Uber or cab ride from downtown.  "

We had such a good time here hanging around the pool that I don't think anyone would have complained if we had just stayed there all weekend. Everyone in our group had a bed to sleep in and the house was stoked with fresh linens as well. Again, can't recommend this place enough. You have to spend a weekend at the Wild West Compound!"
904354,50912256,2015-10-16,9335832,Hugh,"We as a group of 16 had an unforgettable week in Austin. There was plenty of room and beds for us all and the outside pool area was ideal area for us all to congregate in the evening. The location is ideal, very close to down town and the neighbourhood felt very safe. "

2465088,12071700,2014-04-22,4628802,Brittany,We had a great time in this home - everything is as pictured and located in a great neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Austin.  Check in and communicating with Erica and the Turnkey team was a breeze.  I would definitely recommend this home and any other Turnkey rental!

We stayed for three nights and the location fit our needs very well - we could walk to some areas of interest and it was easy to call uber to get to points further away. The host was very helpful in getting us set up as needed in advance. 

Highly recommend!"
2465088,35328502,2015-06-17,34306042,John,Absolutely beautiful home! Loved it! Plenty of room and exactly what I was looking for. Very nice location too. Would definitely stay here again!
2465088,36236771,2015-06-26,22850581,Elly,This house was great and really a great location! Only about 3 blocks off of West 6th and a quick walk to Town Lake Trails. All of the transactions were seamless with this management company and I would DEFINITLEY rent this place again.
7033887,46064603,2015-09-07,36237032,Christina,"Jill was an excellent host.  She even provided us with an extra air mattress! The location was great for visiting South Austin and Downtown.  We would definitely stay there again.

Thanks Jill!"
7033887,47922343,2015-09-21,10829914,Heather,"I booked this airbnb kind of last minute for a business trip and was very happy with our stay! The place was clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed! The neighbor staying in the adjacent unit was extremely friendly and rarely seen. Check in and out was a breeze and Jill was very helpful. "
7033887,48646653,2015-09-27,40494386,Sunakshi,Jill was an awesome host! She was very easy to contact and very helpful! Her house is very beautifully maintained and very comfortable. The neighborhood is very nice and quiet! She was kind enough to leave me chocolate and some snacks! I would definitely recommend staying at Jill's house! Thanks once again :)
7033887,52014917,2015-10-25,45917298,Don,Host made us feel very welcome. The place was very clean and the decor is lively and interesting. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone!
751880,49620266,2015-10-05,33322902,Matt,"CoCo was a fantastic host and the condo was exactly as pictured.  The split-level design features a master bedroom with attached master bath (including both a standing shower and corner jacuzzi-tub), and two additional bedrooms that share a second full bath.  There is a half-bath off of the kitchen and a spacious living area with high ceilings.  The attached garage is relatively small but I was able to fit a full size sedan (carefully).

The location is amazing!  Barton Creek Trail runs directly behind the property (which is fenced and gated) and provides a beautiful hiking option with an entrance only half a block from the property.  We were in town for ACL and this trail will take you directly to Zilker Park, however it is about 1.5 miles.  The trail is mostly flat and forgiving but there are areas with rocks, especially the entrance, so make sure you wear the appropriate footwear.

I highly suggest you try TacoDeli (located at the nearest cross-street, about half a block away) or the gourmet pizza in the Barton Food Mart next door.

Ubers to downtown were easy to get and the ride is only about 5-10 minutes depending on where you're headed.

We were 100% satisfied with our experience and absolutely recommend Coco's condo to anyone looking for a great getaway in Austin!"

5571124,51469381,2015-10-20,579108,Dara,"A very comfortable studio apartment. The building is dominated by UT students, and has a weird inside/outside structure so can get a little noisy at night, but the apartment itself is cozy enough for grownups :)"
4266714,21558264,2014-10-19,6742142,Erik,"Great location for a weekend in Austin. We were able to walk most places (the river and South Congress). The apartment is wonderful and perfect for 2 or 3 people. It was very clean and comfortable.

The neighborhood is really charming and quiet, but still really close to all the action. "
4266714,22250631,2014-11-02,21933689,Nikki,"Ryan left us some Texas beers in the fridge as a welcome! The house was a great get away - very cozy. There is not a TV, so it was perfect for my husband and I to spend time and focus on one another. Love the neighborhood, very quiet. The house is built into a cliff, so it was really cool looking at the architecture. Would stay here again!"
4266714,24860652,2015-01-03,1260679,Jamie,"Beautiful home centrally located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in Austin. Ryan was warm, welcoming, and even left a six-pack in the fridge for my arrival. Could have asked for a more comfortable and seamless stay.  "
4266714,25520818,2015-01-18,25856531,Christie,"Rented for a girls weekend, very nice place. Great location very near SoCo yet quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend!"
4266714,26275887,2015-02-08,7115568,Ninis,"Great experience with the apartment and Ryan. Pictures are accurate, the place is very clean and modern inside.  Quaint 2 bedroom, fairly quiet neighborhood easy street parking.  Ryan was very accommodating and quick to respond if i had questions.  The only minor drawback is there is not a TV in the apartment, something that i had overlooked in the listing. But everything else was really great."
4266714,28116885,2015-03-18,8519341,Irene,"Our stay couldn't have been more perfect while we were in Austin for southby. The apartment is beautiful (photos are accurate) and comfortable in a very pretty, quiet neighborhood that is close to all of the action on South Congress, Rainey St and downtown. Ryan was very accessible and quick to respond about any questions that came up to make our stay more pleasant.  He even left us a six-pack of beer in fridge to cool off on the patio after our long days. We will definitely come back here to stay if we are in town!"
4266714,28325890,2015-03-22,8588606,Kimberly,Ryan's space was perfect.  We had a great girls weekend!! It was only a short distance from everything we wanted to see!!!
4266714,29233431,2015-04-05,30271829,Ana,"We really had a great time at Ryan and Robin's place in Austin. The location is perfect, the house is neat, tidy and very comfortable. The front deck overlooking Alta Vista is super cool and inviting, the boardwalk at Lady Bird Lake is just down the street and downtown is just a $4 uber ride away. My husband and I stayed here for 3 days with our 10-month old little girl and couldn't have picked a better place. We lived in Austin for many years, and felt totally at home. I would highly recommend this space for anyone looking for a real Austin experience with two great hosts. Did I meantion they left us a cold 6-pack of Fireman's in the fridge? Super cool, thanks for a great time.  "
4266714,29777004,2015-04-12,3016968,Fabian,"Ryan's place is fantastic. Perfect location, very clean and an overall really cool place to stay. Communication is great and efficient. We were a family of 5 w/a baby and everyone had a place to sleep (young son on couch and pack-n-play fit just fine). I highly recommend this place and would love to stay here again soon. "
4266714,32975410,2015-05-24,4741968,Alan,Ryan was a great host and even left us a six-pack to welcome us to the neighborhood.  The house was a great spot (and super clean) for us to be close to downtown but in a larger space for 4 people.  We made good use of the outdoor patio and deck chairs when it was sunny and otherwise spent most of our time in and around Austin.
4266714,49524735,2015-10-04,7637352,Chris,"Highly recommend this place for your next Austin vacation!! The apartment is peaceful, in a great location close to So Congress but tucked away in Travis Heights. Ryan was a great host. The place was easy to find, with easy access to highway and downtown. A lot of cool design details in the house (interesting books, paintings, etc). Very homey feeling. The kitchen is modern, and full equipped with appliances. No issues with street parking. Overall one of the best Airbnb stays I've had. Thanks Ryan!"
4266714,50290316,2015-10-11,21772399,Dalia,Great host! The place is just as described and rightly situated close to everything. Experience was great from beginning to end. 
4266714,52037388,2015-10-26,3308848,Alex,"Lovely house in a perfect neighborhood. Free beer was a nice surprise! With the heavy rain, our clothes and shoes were soaked it was hard to manage that mess but we did what we could with no mat, apologies to the host!
Unfortunately, the dog smell in the house was immediately prevalent and the more humid it got the more wet dog smell cropped up."
7691629,43847876,2015-08-22,15108155,Ken,"Everything was great! 

Geoff helped arrange access and answered any questions I had after I arrived. Nice location for that part of town. One note to plan for: Uber is challenged to find it even though it has a prominent address and is right by Whole Foods. Probably because it ends up being on more of an access road part of Lamar? 

It was very comfortable and it worked well for my business travel. Nicely appointed. 

Thanks, Geoff!"
7691629,45203503,2015-08-31,13568174,Rachel,"Geoff was an great host.  The apartment is decorated beautifully and it's an awesome living space. A+ on cleanliness, space, and location... walking distance from great bars/restaurants downtown and quick ~$5 Uber rides to most other popular destinations.  Geoff was very welcoming and a great communicator, and it was very easy to drop off/pick up keys close by.  The best part was the flexible check-in/check-out, it was great not to have to carry bags around town before our flights etc.  Would absolutely stay here again."
7691629,46228098,2015-09-08,34285650,Cooper,Didn't get to meet Geoff but everything went smoothly. I would recommend this place. The location is pretty great. Don't expect a view though.

The neighborhood is a great hub with Whole Foods across the street, and within a 5 minute walk of fun West 6th bars and restaurants.  10 min bike ride or Lyft/Uber gets you to Rainey, which was visited multiple times.  We will definitely be back!"
7691629,48716879,2015-09-28,21664932,Taylor,"We had a wonderful time! The apartment was clean, well decorated and very comfortable. The key pickup and drop off process was very easy, and the location was perfect. We would absolutely come back if and when we make it back to sunny Austin. "
7691629,51436700,2015-10-20,7099661,Kate,"Great neighborhood; very convenient. Apt was modern and clean. Master bedroom was perfect with ridiculously soft sheets. Listed as a place for 3 people, but it's really not. There's a super comfy couch to sleep on, but there weren't any sheets for it.... Had there been, it would have been a decent spot for a third wheel!  Geoff was pretty responsive to our questions at all hours. "
6625638,41872272,2015-08-09,40228484,Jared,Everything was great. The apt was very nice and clean. Overall it was a great but the neighborhood was not as safe as i had expected. My friend and I were walking back home and got mugged. 
6625638,43167987,2015-08-17,31121061,Thao,"Amazing location, wonderful accommodations and hostess. Very helpful and speedy with her responses. Couldn't ask for anything better, and worth every penny! "
6625638,43884025,2015-08-22,41922733,Colin,"Stayed here with two buddies for the night. Apartment is clean, comfortable, and very close to lots of good food and nightlife. We took a short Uber to downtown for dinner and it was less than $5. Would definitely stay here again!"
6625638,44208622,2015-08-24,40606425,Alexis,"Great location, easy access to downtown with cheap ubers. Apartment is top floor corner unit so very quiet and comfortable. Neighborhood a bit mixed, some lower income and some newer properties- great character and never felt unsafe. "
6625638,44352377,2015-08-25,6101210,Charlotte,"Selena's apartment was spacious, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. The apartment is well-located near to great nightlife and easy to get to. We would recommend Selena's apartment to anyone staying in Austin."
6625638,44739543,2015-08-28,42510721,Yonatan,"Selena was very helpful, she also helped us find nearby water holea. The apartment description is very accurate. 
In the apartment we found everything we needed. 
The only downside was there is no laundry option but that isn't a necessity. The apartment's location was great!

 All in all, I highly recommend!"
6625638,46155538,2015-09-08,24768888,Kyle,Wonderful apartment! A quick few minutes walk to 6th street. Selena is a terrific host. Thanks!
6625638,48743397,2015-09-28,7811598,Jamil,"Selena's apt was perfect! Awesome location steps to everything, well appointed comfortable space which I agree with others the photos don't do any justice! Very easy and smooth experience getting in and out and truly appreciate the stay and the checkin call from Selena's boyfriend making sure everything went well! Great host, great city, need I say more? "
6625638,49727110,2015-10-05,2647626,Alejandro,"The apartment was super clean and Selena did a great job answering messages! Highly recommended! (perhaps a bit expensive, but hey, it's austin! :) )"
6625638,50620107,2015-10-13,29568425,Joseph,"We were in town for Austin City Limits and Sabrina was very thoughtful in leaving us a ""survival kit"" of items for the weekend (sunblock, travel water bottle, cinch pack). We appreciated the the gesture.

Some of the surrounding area is industrial and/or run down, making things feel a little sketchy walking home at night. That being said, the building itself is gated/secured and at no point did we feel unsafe in the complex."

4941458,26755055,2015-02-18,16358439,Meilinne,"The Treecycle was a thoroughly enjoyable stay! A cute, clean, and cozy house in one of Austin's more eclectic neighbourhoods, just walking distance from all the sights on S. Congress. Charlotte was a wonderful host, and even though she was unavailable to be on the property during my stay, she kept great communication with us and was very helpful concerning our comfort. I would (and have!) absolutely recommend this host and this house for a great place to stay in Austin!"
4941458,27345161,2015-03-02,1276521,Sarah,"The house is beautiful, nestled in a wooded yard in Travis Heights. The tiny house was full of artistic details. I highly recommend staying here!"
4941458,27662847,2015-03-09,11312311,Amy,"The TreeCycle house is lovely. It was very clean and comfortable, and the woodworking throughout is incredible. It's in a quiet, nice neighborhood, and my husband and I were able to walk (~15 min to South Congress) or Uber it cheaply to anywhere we wanted to go. And it's only about 15 min from the airport, which is nice. 

We did have some issues with the hot water in the shower and the WiFi when we were there, but Charlotte was very communicative and figured out solutions. It was also unseasonably cold during our stay, but Charlotte had a space heater going so it was toasty warm upon arrival and kept us warm the whole time.

It has a well-stocked kitchen, and there is soap/shampoo in the shower. If you need more, bring your own. 

All in all, and good place at a bargain. Would recommend!

"
4941458,27812886,2015-03-12,27813537,Shannon,"Charlotte and her husband were so welcoming. The property is absolutely beautiful, and makes you feel as if you're in the forest, with the perk of being 8 blocks from south congress. The property is shared with multiple residences, but you feel as if you have complete privacy. The home is in such a beautiful neighborhood, and so close to everything. Getting an Uber cab is easy and cheap at this location. We had an absolutely wonderful experience in Austin thanks to this wonderful spot. "
4941458,29001915,2015-04-02,28895017,David,"Great place, owner was quick to help with anything I needed! Great location, easy walking distance to most areas in Austin.  "
4941458,29282060,2015-04-06,3120100,Andrea,"My husband and I enjoyed Charlotte's tiny house. It was just what we were looking for - a place to rest after spending long days with friends and/or wandering the neighborhoods, parks and restaurants/bars of Austin. The house was clean, well-appointed and small (but not too small), and the neighborhood was walk-able, quiet and centrally located."
4941458,29679250,2015-04-11,16154130,Nicola,"Lovely little ""house"" in a quiet residential area. A bit of a walk to S Congress area, but very pleasant. Very clean with lots a pretty touches. Charlotte had local maps introduced us to Uber which made getting around very easy. A great find!"
4941458,30021347,2015-04-16,14995138,Rebekah,"The Treecycle was the perfect Tiny House experience for us! Although it was small, it was incredibly charming and had everything we needed, especially since we were out exploring every day anyway. We are two smaller women so everything was the right size for us, but I would say for an average to larger-size man, the bathroom would be just too tiny. Everything was very clean though and Charlotte was a wonderful host. Since the tiny house is right next to the main house, the host is there for anything you need. But there is a private-ish entrance through a gate on the side of the front yard so if you don't really need anything, it feels very private, if you don't prefer much interaction with your host that is. So, either way, it's perfect. I would certainly stay at the Treecycle again.  "
4941458,30450156,2015-04-22,1401388,Gretchen,"I reserved this tiny house for my parents to stay while they were visiting me, and I live in the neighborhood, so know it very well - it's (for Austin) very walkable, with pretty houses and tree-lined streets. Charlotte and Wolf (the owners) were communicative in advance, and allowed me to see the property before my parents arrived. They also gave my parents an extensive tour and offered to answer any questions. They were great hosts. 

The place *is* as small as described! For two adults in their late 60s, it was a little close for comfort - definitely be aware of this. Only one sink, in the kitchen - none in the bathroom. And the toilet and the bed are, by unavoidable design, VERY proximate. But it is just as advertised, and should you desire a tiny space this will satisfy that! - the woodworking and details are even more beautiful than the pictures convey - clearly a labor of love on the part of the owners. 

It was scrupulously clean. It smells pleasantly of fresh wood, like a carpenter's shop. The bed is comfortable and the linens fresh. "
4941458,30882098,2015-04-28,2707466,Rick,Home was exactly as described and Charlotte is a perfect host and exceptionally accomodating.  Highly recommend staying at the TreeCycle!!
4941458,31125870,2015-05-02,5166295,Laure,I spent 4 nights in The Treecycle and I only wish I could've stayed longer. My friend and I were greeted by Charlotte as we arrived. Charlotte was very nice and warm and gave us lots of recommendations. The house is tiny but so comfortable! We had everything we needed and going to sleep to the sound of the toads and waking up to the singing of the birds is priceless. I highly recommend staying in The Treecycle. Thank you Charlotte! 
4941458,31511696,2015-05-06,11513760,Sarah,"We loved staying in the Treecycle for our 3 night vacation in Austin.  The neighborhood is so lovely, and the tiny house was perfect for our stay.  We were close to everything, but felt tucked away in a forested area!  Charlotte is such an interesting woman, and she was so friendly, and helpful.  We had an issue with the lock, and she solved it very quickly.  All in all, we loved the location.  The tiny house is in the front of the yard, but you still feel private.  There is everything that you will need to enjoy Austin.  Highly recommend!  "
4941458,31940012,2015-05-12,23462412,Sean,We had an amazing time in Austin this past weekend. My girlfriend and I visited for the weekend and staying at The Treecycle was one of the best parts of the trip. Charlotte made us feel welcomed and gave us great advice on where to go and where to eat. The tiny house was incredible! Beautifully built and well maintained. I highly recommend staying there for your next Austin visit!!! Thanks again Charlotte! 
4941458,32989499,2015-05-24,7241130,Carol And Steve,The Tree cycle was accurately described. We never had the pleasure of meeting the host. It is a very sweet place. It is conveniently located. The bed was really comfortable. .
4941458,33436483,2015-05-28,11148128,Ryan,"We unfortunately did not get a chance to meet Charlotte as she was out of town, however she did both email and call prior to our arrival to let us know who we could contact in case we were in need of anything which was comforting. The tiny house itself was perfect for our needs. Comfortable and cozy. The neighborhood is beautiful with wonderful trees and plants everywhere. It felt secluded, however was situated absolutely perfectly. An uber to ""downtown""  (6th st area) only cost about 6 dollars. A 5 minute drive also took you to South Congress area which had no shortage of shops, restaurants, and bars. Great neighborhood spots like the Whipin were pretty much around the corner. Overall, the location is ideal, the setting idyllic and the home was clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend a stay here!"
4941458,35229490,2015-06-16,6164363,Grace,"The Treecycle was in a great, safe location, and the place itself was adorable! As others have mentioned, everything is a short Uber/Lyft ride away, and it's a pleasant walk otherwise (if you don't mind the heat). Charlotte also provided a nice list of nearby restaurants and attractions, which was really helpful. Unfortunately we did have a little issue with bugs getting inside, but Charlotte was very responsive and understanding about the whole thing, and addressed the situation quickly for us. Other than that, it was a good stay in Austin! "
4941458,36538432,2015-06-29,16678744,Kelly,"Charlotte and Wolf were wonderful hosts. Extremely helpful and kind. The treecycle is in a beautiful, peaceful setting with lots of trees. The tiny house was exactly what I hoped it would be. It was equipped with everything you might need during your stay. It still smells like fresh wood and I really appreciated all of the unique details in the woodwork. I would definitely stay here again! "
4941458,37307867,2015-07-06,31860489,Kristen,The Treecycle is wonderful! It made our trip even better than expected. The location is great for visiting South Austin & easy to access the highway for visiting other areas too! This was our 1st Airbnb experience and it was great!
4941458,39009582,2015-07-20,30985756,Chimene,"The Treecycle was exactly as cute as the pictures made it seem. The woodworking details gave it a special quirky touch and I loved it! It was clean, well cared for, and on a beautiful piece of property.  The neighborhood is right in the middle of everything, but the homes are nestled in the hills under Live Oaks that give the entire surrounding a very secluded feel. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
4941458,40116839,2015-07-28,7861421,Theresa,We loved our stay at the Treecycle. It was funky and functional adn the right combination of convenient to downtown and yet tucked in relaxing in a beautiful neighborhood. It was a 30-40 minute walk to 6th street downtown and much closer to fun SoCo area. It was only a $6 uber ride to anywhere in the city we wanted to go. Everything we needed for our weekend was provided and the bed was comfortable. We never connected with Charlotte but we appreciated a in-depth information binder and we were very happy with the independence and privacy. The Treecycle is an awesome Austin retreat:)
4941458,41040463,2015-08-03,39747543,Alison,"The Treecycle was even better than me and my boyfriend expected! The pictures are cute, but the tiny house is even cozier and more charming in person. The bed was extremely comfortable. My boyfriend has a bad back and even he thought the bed was great. The whole place has a nice, quiet, log cabin in the woods feel, yet you are only minutes away from several fun areas (south congress, 6th street, all of the east side hot spots)! Charlotte was away during our visit but was extremely responsive and hospitable from afar. Couldn't say enough good things about our 3-night stay!!"
4941458,41485436,2015-08-07,39738716,Sharon,"Cute, clean, conveniently located.  First time to stay in a tiny house and enjoyed my time there.  Charlotte was quick to respond and the property was exactly as it was portrayed."
4941458,42512934,2015-08-14,30245865,Jack,"Charlotte was super considerate and an amazing host. Unfortunately there was a roach problem at the tree cycle. We stuck it out for two nights, afterwards Charlotte was more then happy to accommodate our request for a cancellation. After the first night she had someone come out and spray. It's a shame it didn't work out the tree cycle was beautiful and the surrounding area was really nice. 

I think the roaches was just a freak accident. Austin hasn't gotten a lot of rain so they were just looking for water. I would still think about giving it a second shot. "
4941458,44184715,2015-08-24,27442783,Sara,My husband and I stayed for a long weekend and had a great time. The house was tiny but perfect for what we needed it for. We were only in the house in between various events around Austin. In a beautiful neighborhood and very close to all the local hotspots. The house looked exactly like the pictures and there were no surprises. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in a tiny house. 
4941458,45103616,2015-08-31,6294216,Cameron,"The Treecycle was lovely, cozy, and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, and just minutes from downtown, South Congress, the river, and lots more.

Though I may have just missed it upon reviewing the site, there is a hot plate, cutting board, and toaster, so you have everything you need to cook in the kitchenette which was a nice surprise!

Charlotte is prompt in communicating and was willing to help us out on short notice to check-in earlier than originally agreed.

All in all, we recommend this place without hesitation and look forward to visiting again!
"
4941458,45785634,2015-09-06,26255723,Lisa,We didn't see our host but the cabin was ready when we arrived. The process was very easy. 
4941458,46295156,2015-09-09,40380488,Rachael,"This was our first time using Airbnb and it was great. Charlotte was a wonderful host and made the process so simple. She is there if you need her but will leave you alone if you don't want to be bothered. The location is about a mile walk to South Congress or a $4-$5 uber ride to get downtown. The house is tiny as should be expected. The craftsmanship in the tiny house was impressive. The place is clean and cozy. Charlotte is accommodating, letting us use bikes to ride. It is in a bit of a wooded area so don't be surprised to find some woodland insects. We had a great time at the tiny house and would definitely recommend. Such a different and better experience than the standard hotel."
4941458,47043444,2015-09-15,37572855,Louise,"Our stay at the Treecycle was delightful.  Both Charlotte and Wolf made us feel welcome in their little slice of  heaven.  We loved the proximity to the  city, the beautiful  neighborhood with lots of trees, and the peaceful surroundings.  For a ""tiny house"" the Treecycle has everything you need.  The bed is very comfortable, house  is immaculate, and storage ample.  The space has  so many artistic touches and has  a beauty all its own.  We will be back!"
4941458,47846460,2015-09-21,36870058,Stacey,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4941458,47961429,2015-09-22,35434558,Aubrey,"Our experience with the tree-cycle was nothing short of perfect. Extremely cleaned, well stocked with the essentials, great location, and very comfortable! We stayed there for 4 days and did not have any difficulties. I would highly recommend the tree-cycle for your stay in Austin. "
4941458,49766077,2015-10-06,36063589,Gabe,"We had such a wonderful weekend at The Treecycle! The space was absolutely perfect for 2 people. Cozy yet luxurious in its own ""tiny"" way.

We definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in Austin and not have all of the commotion of staying downtown. Looking forward to hopefully booking again next time we come down to Austin.

Thank you for everything Charlotte!"
4941458,50615118,2015-10-13,34074637,Ryan,The Treecycle was a great place to stay at and Charlotte made sure everything was painless I just showed up and got the keys. The place is very clean and in a nice convenient location which made getting to ACL and the downtown area a breeze.
4941458,51536895,2015-10-21,8494832,Melissa,"We loved our Treecycle/tiny house experience! The listing is very, very accurate- there were no surprises when we walked in. The house was very clean and had a coffee maker, microwave, mini-fridge, hotplate, towels, wifi, etc.- everything we needed. Wolf told us that he built the house himself, and you can absolutely tell- the woodwork is amazing. Charlotte and Wolf were very welcoming and provided a helpful binder of information about the house itself as well as the neighborhood and attractions. Travis Heights is a gorgeous area with beautiful houses and is very quiet. We'd never stayed in a tiny house before, but we didn't feel squished at all- it was definitely enough space for two people. "
4941458,52817854,2015-11-02,37070930,Emily,"We enjoyed our stay at the Treecycle! Nicely appointed space. It is small, but you have been warned! Worked fine for 2. Really neat neighborhood to explore if you enjoy architectural creativity."
8275899,47017316,2015-09-14,43910100,闵豪,It is a very good house. Those old furnitures are really fascinating. And it is closed to downtown (5 min drive). 
8275899,47914730,2015-09-21,43727288,Michael,"Alex made the process as easy as possible. A beautiful house, well kitted out, a good location to go and explore Austin. Highly recommended "
8275899,48842573,2015-09-28,44941978,Jenkins,"This place is great, walking distance to food and a couple of cool bars and just a short uber ride/drive to downtown and just about anywhere you could want.  We got an uber everywhere and it was never more than $10.  Very convenient and centrally located house.  The house was clean and Alex provided everything we needed including some breakfast foods and whatever we wanted from the fridge (beer/wine/juice). Would definitely stay here again and am looking forward to my next trip down!"
8275899,50874385,2015-10-15,33850764,Edvin,"This was the best home in our 9 week travel so far. We felt just like home, for real! The porch was amazing and everything inside was great. Neighborhood was perfect with walking distance to east 6th. I really, really wanna come back!! "
8275899,52106006,2015-10-26,29485805,Aaron,"It was as described: cozy and close to east side sites and restaurants.  The projector was a fun way to chill out when it rained.  Charming decor, fridge stocked with beer and food made for more time to have fun. Things to note: the beds are on the small side: double beds.  The place needed a deep professional  cleaning:  there was thick layer of dust on high surfaces, tons of pet hair in corners and under furniture.  Mold smell in the air.  Shower curtain was molded, keep us from using the shower.  If you have allergies to pet hair, dust, or mold this is not the place for you.  I have a dust and mold allergies and a friend has pet allergies.  Not even Sudafed could save us, it was not pleasant."
5532737,28338313,2015-03-22,20038236,Elisabeth,"Angela was amazing! She was so helpful in our arrival, anything we needed while we were there and was so welcoming with fruit and goodies."
5038893,28165143,2015-03-19,26810582,Sarah,"Had a wonderful stay while traveling to SXSW for business - Aubrey was a lovely host, making sure I had a smooth arrival and visit. Stylish, comfortable and safe location, highly recommend!"
7837707,46106240,2015-09-07,10505604,Sidharth,Margie was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome. She had clear instructions for us to use her place and also was always available to help us out. Her home was very cozy and in a great location. She was also very flexible with our timings of check-in and check-out. I would certainly consider staying there if I visited Austin again.
7837707,47727193,2015-09-21,16295722,Margo,Margie and her son were great! Made sure we had everything we need in the apartment and were super quick at responding to any questions we had. The place is really nice and great location- everything we needed was provided. Perfect for staying near UT campus- you can walk to the football stadium in less than 10 min and easy to get downtown! An excellent deal for staying in Austin during any events! 
7837707,48824842,2015-09-28,889718,Steve,"Margie is a great host, very friendly and eager to make your stay comfortable.  Every detail was covered prior to checking in.  I chose her place due to location as it's only 2 to 3 blocks northof DKR and the Texas game...which we lost against OK State thanks to the refs, but that's another story.  Free parking in the back of the unit which is critical on game day.  The furnishings were very comfortable in living room/kitchen, bedroom, and bath.  The kitchen was stocked with fresh fruit, coffee, tea, with soft drinks and bottled water in the fridge. Wifi worked great. Nearby are a few places to eat and drink which was very convenient (Sau Paulo's very good).  I would highly recommend Margie's place to anyone looking for comfortable and quiet lodging near the UT campus and football stadium.  "
7837707,49542802,2015-10-04,45158476,Nubia,"Margie was a wonderful host! We felt right at home on our little vacation. We were very comfortable. Margie not only made the transaction a cinch, she gave us tips on how to travel to and from town. "
5538067,28420992,2015-03-23,14931386,Craig,"Great host. The place was immaculately clean when we arrived, and every amenity we could possibly use during our week long stay was available for our use.  They created a nice binder with all the information we would need about the house and its mechanics. This being my first time using Airbnb, our host was more than helpful walking me through the process and always answering questions in a timely manner.  If you're not familiar with the Austin area, the neighborhood is very safe and very convenient when traveling to downtown.  The best part was the sunroom which we ended up using almost constantly, one of the people staying with us even slept out there every night for nearly a week! Thank you for having us."
5538067,29634138,2015-04-10,26763569,Christopher,"Ah!! What can I say?? What can I say...

Laura and Mark are really *really* great. Friendly, laid back, trusting and (despite being thousands of miles away when I last rented with them) super on top of communication. Really good friends to have in Austin. ;)

Their house is really *really* great. Modern, airy, fresh... well equipped and comfortable. The location is fantastic; close walking distance to some great bars and restaurants, and only 30-45 minutes across the bridge to the heart of downtown! 

Seriously, if you must rent a house in Austin for your stay, this should absolutely be it. I already miss it!"
5538067,49738087,2015-10-05,21735415,Enrique,"Laura and Mark are great people and excellent hosts, we were treated incredibly, they are a beautiful family and has been a pleasure to share time with them, they gave us recommendations of where to eat and what to do.

The house is an oasis in Zilker, very comfortable and excellently located.

Undoubtedly we rent your home again on another visit to Austin.

"
76501,191122,2011-03-01,358735,Cynthia,The host canceled my reservation 8 days before arrival.
76501,206444,2011-03-22,407700,Faye,"We had a really nice time staying here during SXSW. Kevin was a lovely host and very helpful when we got lost in the one bad neighbourhood of Austin. 

Close to the university and lots of bus routes into town. Would definitely stay here again!"
76501,315284,2011-06-14,447674,Vanessa,"To say that Kevin is a helpful host would be a gross understatement. He not only recommended places to check out during my visit, he even suggested neighborhoods to check out when I relocated. The flat itself is very nice. Centrally located and close to the highway. Highly recommend staying here. Great host. Beautiful flat. Ridiculously comfy bed. Doesn't get better than that."
76501,424136,2011-08-06,359746,Matt,"First of all, the greatness of this space can't be justified in words or pictures. Kevin and his partner have truly good style, and after a long journey it was a wonderful spot to make home for the night. The flat is clean, private, quiet and very cool despite the 107 degree heat that persisted throughout our visit. Kevin is a class act guy too, and I would definitely recommend staying at his place if you want a comfortable, awesomely decorated apartment in a perfect Austin location."
76501,504984,2011-09-05,162738,Traci,"The pictures do not do this gorgeous, charming and intimate apartment justice. The apartment's layout and furnishings are straight from a magazine yet inviting and cozy. There were interesting books and artifacts in every nook, but the decorations did not overwhelm the space, only emphasize its spaciousness. The bathroom was stocked with many great-smelling goodies (shampoos, soaps, etc.), and Kevin left elegant white towels for us. Although my friend and I had planned to spend an evening out on the town, we preferred to stay at the apartment to read late into the evening and then wake early to share tea in the incredible sun room. 

It was extremely convenient to all things to do Austin and easy to find upon arrival; the neighborhood was very pleasant, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Add to that the hosts quick and easy communication -- for what more can you ask!  

The only problem with this place is that I didn't want to leave! A great stay, and I hope for the chance to visit again."
76501,679283,2011-11-01,460986,Margaret,"We had a very comfortable  and happy stay - for a month- in this flat.  It is  well furnished with all the accessories and equipment needed to make it a home away from home.  Kevin was always available and helpful and made the entire experience warm and welcoming.  The location is extremely convenient to UT Austin and within walking distance of good restaurants and coffee shops.  In addition,  the flat is beautifully decorated and filled with good books and tasteful art.  Charming and warm and perfect for us. Marg and Arlen"
76501,701087,2011-11-07,850585,Zeina,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was a great one. The place is adorable, in a great location (near ut campus), and Kevin & Bob are sweethearts. Kevin even gave us a ride when our cab never showed. I highly recommend this place. "
76501,718715,2011-11-14,1317549,Francesca,"Great upstairs apartment! Comfy master bed, and loved the sun porch attached to the living room. Kitchen in well equipped for making meals, and there are also lots of great spot nearby. Kevin will help you out if you need help finding anything as well. "
76501,795438,2011-12-20,1264193,David,"Great hosts and a beautiful place. The pictures don't do it justice. Also very close to UT and a bunch of cool coffee shops and restaurants. Since I was staying for a longer period, Kevin even let me use his bike! If this seems like the type of place that appeals to you, well, you won't be disappointed."
76501,922597,2012-02-15,1264193,David,"Great place and wonderful hosts. Quiet, spacious, clean, and very well decorated. Location is perfect for people visiting the University of Texas, and downtown is close and convenient as well (especially by car, bus or bike). I'll certainly rent this place next time I'm in Austin, if available: get the whole upstairs to yourself, private entrance and all, for much less than a hotel."
76501,976824,2012-03-06,1800429,Jason,"Kevin's place had a unique charm to it. The sun room was the perfect spot for reading and having breakfast, and the apartment itself was easily big enough for two people.

Kevin was an excellent host - I would happily stay here again.  "
76501,1015881,2012-03-19,1124426,Nathaniel,"Kevin and Bob are awesome!  The location is super convenient, and the flat is beautiful.  Kevin was so easy to communicate with and was willing to go far out of his way to make our stay comfortable and convenient. 

I strongly recommend Kevin & Bob as your hosts in Austin!"
76501,1128509,2012-04-14,1963765,Betsy,We enjoyed staying at Kevin's. It was perfect for us. His place is clean and such a treat to feast your eyes upon. 
76501,1209479,2012-05-01,1776253,Lauren,"Kevin's upstairs flat in Austin is in the perfect location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was quiet, immaculately decorated with things from all over the world, they have backyard chickens and fresh eggs upon request. The photos definitely don't do justice to the beauty this upstairs flat beholds. Oh and the sun porch was fantastic and a very calming spot to relax in. It was a great stay and we even were able to stay extra days that were not in the booking. Kevin was incredibly nice and helpful and we would definitely stay here again..."
76501,1328194,2012-05-22,385045,Todd,Ditto on the positive comments from other guests. I felt totally at home here during my week's stay--and inspired by the creativity and good energy of Kevin's place. Clearly everything in the flat has a story. I want to live there! Favorite thing: opening up the windows to the sleeping porch and letting in the cool night air and chirping night sounds. You'd hardly know you're in a city. Thanks Kevin!
76501,2099259,2012-08-26,2767530,Gavin,"Kevin and Bobs place lived up to all the good reviews that encouraged me to choose it in the first place. Centrally located, everything provided for, fantastic aircon which was a godsend in an Austin summer.  They also supplied a couple of glasses of scotch to quell my toothache!
I have no hesitation in recommending the apartment and if available will definitely use again when next in town."
76501,2613321,2012-10-15,3372157,Elba,"Kevin was absolutely great! The place was beyond beautiful, with little touches all around the living space that evoke history and an essence of home. The place is quite large and had a lovely bedroom and living area with television and seating area. There are quick connections to bus routes and, if traveling with car, has super-fast access to the highway. 

By far, I would much rather stay in a place such as this than in an expressionless hotel room. Thanks Kevin, it was great to meet you and your amazingly unique home. "
76501,2650090,2012-10-18,3656210,Caitlin,"What a fantastic spot in an amazing city! Wonderful location, perfect amenities, and a peaceful neighborhood. Kevin does a great job communicating in advance and the apartment is a true delight. "
76501,2753804,2012-10-29,3905508,Jon,"I had a great time staying at Kevins place in Austin. 
The house is really unique and has a lot of character.  It's fun waking up and seeing chickens running around the yard.  
Kevin was nice enough to let us borrow his bikes so we could get around town.
Thanks again for everything."
76501,2925777,2012-11-20,2325611,Armen,"We stayed with Kevin during a very busy weekend in Austin and we appreciated the fact that he did not charge exorbitant prices like most others in town that weekend. 

The place is very charmingly decorated, and had every accommodation we needed for our four-night stay. Kevin even went out and got a blow dryer so my girlfriend didn't have to pack one in her suitcase.

We were very happy with our stay, and would gladly stay again when we return to Austin."
76501,3047035,2012-12-08,3543549,Shawn,"If you have checked out Kevin's listing & thought for even a moment about staying at his & his partner's upstairs flat (second level of a duplex) in the French Place/Cherrywood neighborhood of East Austin, take my advice & go for it right this minute. 

I have lived in Austin for more than a decade (& lived in some fantastic spots in Travis Heights, Rosedale, Crestview/Brentwood, & Hyde Park along the way), but needed a place for a few days while in between a move & some extended travel. Kevin worked with me on short notice & was responsive, intuitive, & helpful the whole time, while also granting every ounce of privacy I needed (which is no problem with two private entrances, anyway). 

Like anyone reading this, I also find great joy in traveling as often as humanly possible. As soon as you set foot inside this inspired achievement of a living space, your initial reaction might be akin to mine – dropping your bags & your jaw & saying to no one in particular that ""this is outrageously awesome"" – or you might just quietly admire the lovely, eclectic, & warm apartment. Five hours later, you might actually remember you're on a trip & have stuff to do. Fair warning: The place will put you in a trance. The great books, generous bar, strong wi-fi, DirecTV, & Goldilocks-level-of-perfection bed don't hurt, either. 

When you're finally ready to hit the streets, you'll be pleased to find that you're close to everything worth doing & seeing. You'll find yourself in what is arguably the new cultural center of Austin, within walking distance of Eastside nightlife & high-caliber but dirt-cheap dining, UT campus & all of its surrounding charms, convenient bus routes, museums, libraries, & more. On top of it, you're a two-minute drive to I-35, but barely even notice it's so nearby.

Between you & me, Kevin could charge a lot more for this hidden gem. I cannot recommend it highly enough. One thing that struck me as I was researching short-term places in Austin – & I went at it with a level of seriousness usually reserved for buying a new car, because I love this city & wanted to stay somewhere that best represented it before leaving for a while – is that people who had stayed here kept reporting in reviews that the ""pictures don't do it justice."" Well, truer words have rarely been spoken. 

Hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did! 



"
76501,3128345,2012-12-21,2941808,Marissa,"Kevin was a great host with a fantastic flat. He was attentive, thoughtful and helpful. The neighborhood is great (tacos, coffee, healthy groceries nearby) and things are easy to access by foot/car/public transport (we used all three). I could've stayed indoors for hours reading through all of Kevin's tempting architecture magazines, but then I would've missed out on all that Austin has to offer!  "
76501,3525330,2013-02-12,223191,Stephen,"I spent a full month here and loved it. Kevin was a fabulous host, with plenty of information about the flat, plenty of great local recommendations and always gave advance notice if there would be something like a delivery for the garden or work being done on the house (which really was never a problem but I appreciated the heads up). When my girlfriend joined me for a week, Kevin and Bob were super accommodating to her, kept her laughing and she mentioned meeting them as the highlight of the trip. 

The flat itself is super comfy, convenient and quiet. One underrated aspect of is how convenient it is to everything - downtown, UT, South Congress, the bike trails are all within easy reach. On the very busy times like the festivals, you could walk to downtown if needed. 

Great place, would definitely return."
76501,3592637,2013-02-20,1418980,Dan,"My adult daughter and I had a great time in Austin staying at Kevin's upstairs flat while in town to run the Austin Half Marathon. The flat is decorated in a funky Texas style and in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the UT campus. There is plenty of parking space available and a backyard full of chickens (no roosters).

 The only negatives I could mention are that my daughter found the fold out sofa bed to not be very comfortable and the dining room table is very small. As the flat is on the second floor with a private entrance, guests must be comfortable negotiating stairs to enter and exit.

We arrived to find a 6 pack of local beer in the fridge and Kevin keeps a fully stocked bar in the flat.

Overall, I would highly recommend staying in Kevin's upstairs flat while visiting Austin.
"
76501,3778867,2013-03-14,1574886,Tara,"Kevin's place was awesome - a vintage lover myself, his upstairs apartment was like a well-cultivated museum of kitsch, amazing knick knacks and all the rest. We had a lovely stay there, between Ella the dog, the chickens out back, and the masks over every door way  I never wanted to leave. Thanks for the great stay- if you ever want to off load your pineapple punch bowl, call me!

I would recommend getting a vehicle if you plan to go downtown. "
76501,3813321,2013-03-18,1216436,Leila,"Kevin was out of town during our stay but he made sure everything was ready for our arrival.  Their place is clean, very comfortable, and has interesting books and decorations.  We all had a great time staying there@"
76501,3889924,2013-03-25,5100651,Chris,Amazing place and location.  Walking distance to UT campus and downtown.  Very much appreciate everything this place has to offer.  Highly recommended!  Thank you for a great first experience with airbnb!
76501,3936033,2013-03-29,1751175,Steve,"The three of us had a great stay. With the bedroom, sun room, and the living room couch, we all had our own space. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and full of character. The books and kitchy artefacts covering the bookshelves make for some fun discoveries. Bob and Kevin were great hosts, friendly and laid-back. 'Help yourself to whatever' seemed to be their motto. Their dog is also supper-friendly, but their chickens are a little standoffish. They lay good eggs though, and it makes for a nice breakfast. "
76501,3995733,2013-04-02,3974168,Iain,"To reiterate Steve's comments below, this is a fantastic flat, in a great location with an excellent host. I would recommend it to anyone staying in Austin. "
76501,4249844,2013-04-22,535438,Christina,"I have stayed in a few Air BnB's before, and Kevin and Bob's place definitely tops the list. The apartment is spacious and filled with unique objects, pottery and antiques. The bed is comfortable. The bar is well-stocked and will challenge even the most creative mixologist! The chickens are curious and their eggs are delicious. Kevin and Bob were both very friendly, offered rides and the use of their bicycles. The apartment is a tad dusty and could probably use a good once-over, but is generally pretty clean. The air conditioning works fine and will protect you from the Texas heat. Pour yourself a beer and read your book on the sun porch!

Kevin and Bob's place is also in a great neighborhood called Cherrywood. Manor Road is close by and has a few fun bars and restaurants. 

Thanks for a great stay! We will definitely look you guys up again if we are ever back in Austin."
76501,4377917,2013-05-01,5313749,Mimi,"This place was so awesome! It had this sense of feeling at home right away. Recommend it highly. Great first experience of Austin and of airbnb. Kevin, you're a great host. "
76501,4618154,2013-05-15,110375,Janet,"What a great host! The house is comfy and cool. Ella the dog is a cutie... She greeted us when we were coming and going... Just like home which made me miss my own sweet pups a teensy bit less.
The location is walking close to manor rd restaurants and cherrywood coffee ... Important in my book!  I highly recommend!"
76501,4674887,2013-05-20,608600,Amanda,"An absolute delight of a stay! The most obliging and engaging hosts,  Kevin and Bob, looked after us from the moment I emailed to the moment we packed our bags and regretfully left. The house is a delight, my friends slept in the double room, in the most comfortable bed that they said they had slept in. I was in the sun room, on a very comfortable sunbed, which was just perfect - and I'm 6ft.
We were treated like favoured family members, catching up at the end of the day over a wine in the pretty backyard underneath the beautiful oak tree, amongst the chickens, with the dog and cat. There were even Fireflies! 
The house was perfect! Full of comfortable furniture to relax in at the end of a long hot day shopping. With many beautiful objects d'art to admire - our hosts really did share a true slice of their lives with us. What a great way to get to know Austin! Kevin very kindly showed us some of the best undiscovered shopping spots, and we all scored some wonderful pre-loved clothing treasures that will become icons of our Austin visit, more so than our cowboy boots! We had spent our initial time in Austin at the Austin motel, but this stay was definitely the highlight of our trip to Austin.
"
76501,7759500,2013-10-01,5229297,Amye,"This is an ideal getaway. Central to everything but tucked away in a sleepy neighborhood so you can totally relax. The house is a charming mix of mid-century furniture and southwestern curiosities. We will definitely stay here again. 

"
76501,8752631,2013-11-16,9190279,Natalie,"Kevin and his place are great! It's close to some great east side coffee shops and restaurants that are within walking distance, but in a quiet neighborhood. He was very considerate and made my week-long stay very comfortable. I'd definitely stay there again!"
76501,8784969,2013-11-18,7581148,Will,What a wonderful place. Very close to Austin and the entire scene. The best part of this place is the owners. They are extremely accommodating and warm. They stayed in touch but left us alone. Their place was very neatly decorated. The neighborhood is really cool too. Parking was easy too. If you are looking for the real deal Austin experience with two of the nicest people I've met in Austin this place is perfect. Better than any hotel. 
76501,8912603,2013-11-25,9929114,Antony,"A lovely apartment, beautifully decorated in a very nice part of Austin. The apartment had more amenities than I could have asked for and Kevin was very kind. I highly recommend the place. "
76501,9269073,2013-12-17,4351222,Samantha,"I needed a place to stay for a little while before I relocated back home and emailed Kevin out of the blue about his duplex. He was very accommodating and worked with me on the time frame. When I arrived at the duplex I was blown away. Kevin's upstairs flat is beyond adorable. The place is perfectly stylish and stocked with anything you could need cooking wise. You can tell these people love to entertain!  

All in all I give this place 5 stars. The duplex itself is beautiful, it is decorated to the nines. If you're an eclectic type or want to stay somewhere glowing with charm, this is the place. I was in love the moment I got up the steps. So cute.

The duplex is conveniently located within a few blocks of an amazing 24/7 grocery store and a great cafe. This place is close to downtown but doesn't feel too in the thick of things. Its a great alternative to a hotel and has far more character. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
76501,10745169,2014-03-05,6936549,Kevin,"Great place, very close to UT
Gracious hosts"
76501,10804327,2014-03-08,718307,Carolee,Kevin's place is full of charm and conveniently located to all things great in Austin. A very warm & gracious host. Would definitely stay again. 
76501,10834796,2014-03-10,2481945,Doug,"Kevin's place is awesome.   You really feel like you are staying in someone's home, but without any of the uncomfortable weirdness!   We were in constant communication and the entire experience was a great pleasure."
76501,11043266,2014-03-18,8744662,Bas,"This flat offers you high value for money close to the city centre of Austin. The furniture is very charming. Kevin is a very friendly and helpfull host. In addition, it was possible to rent two bikes making the SXSW music festival a big success for us. We were able to attend one showcase every hour by cycling between the various venues."
76501,11856372,2014-04-17,794959,Courtney,"Kevin was an excellent host, and his place was the perfect space to put up my dad for his month-long stay in Austin. Well communicated to bars and restaurants, grocery stores and the gym, the neighborhood was well-connected to all the desirable amenities but quiet enough to retreat to. The space was clean and had everything one could need. Kevin was also incredibly accommodating, helpful and communicative. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone looking to visit Austin, short- or long-term!"
76501,12018748,2014-04-21,13832817,Ian,"Kevin and Bob were fabulous hosts - very accommodating to our tight schedule, full of good recommendations for places to eat and visit in the neighborhood and beyond, they even lent us their bicycles for a (website hidden) for the home, it is beautiful, well-decorated, and spacious. I would recommend this place to anyone."
76501,12556904,2014-05-05,13890359,Marilyn,"Great place to stay! Perfect location and Kevin was awesome!! Easy to communicate with and had a list of great places in the area to check out.  First Airbnb experience,and enjoyed it so much more than pricey hotels that we normally stay in! And Star Seeds Cafe beats boring room service ANY day of the week! We never felt unsafe in the neighborhood, and we walked everywhere at all hours of the night."
76501,13365680,2014-05-26,5958307,Lisa,"My friend and I spent 2 days at Kevin's treetop apartment and it was better than I expected. I only met Kevin briefly, but his various interests in the visual arts is reflected on every surface and in the plethora of books and objects that he generously shares with his guests. The sleeping porch has huge windows with screens so you can almost sit in the trees and feel the breeze The welcoming laid back atmosphere is genuine down to his three chickens, Lily, Mary and Penny, freely roaming around the yard. And the neighborhood is great for walks. There's much more I could say but I think its clear that I highly recommend staying at Kevin's place if you are planning a visit to Austin. 
Lisa N. "
76501,13927650,2014-06-08,15324074,Stacia,"We had a fantastic experience at Kevin and Bob's. The flat was extremely well prepared with a kitchen which provided everything anyone could hope for including back-up herbs and spices and great utensils to work with. The personal touches such as cold drinks waiting in the fridge and an invitation for guests to access the extensive home bar, were really first class and show that these guys know how important that sort of extra service is. The flat itself was amazing with a brilliant collection of interesting pieces to look at, great books, art and internet access. Comfort factor, ten out of ten with a sweet bed, beautiful linens and fluffy towels. The air-conditioning had been put on for us prior to arrival and was a very nice and thoughtful touch.The information about Austin, local eateries, inner-city travel and general points of interest was concise, up to date and relevant. I didn't see the guys until the day that I left due to our individual scheduling but had been in regular texting contact with Kevin who responded immediately. I can not rate this experience highly enough. It was my second airbnb booking and was so far superior to the first one that I had in another city, that it has effectively wiped that event (not a positive one) from memory. Thank you Kevin and Bob, very cool, very enjoyable, highly recommended  and just basically perfect."
76501,20778215,2014-10-05,26917,Robert,"We had a perfect stay in Austin. We arrived late, but Kevin was able to ensure we got into the flat without issues, and the flat was more than warm and welcoming enough in itself. Kevin also provided us with some great local eats tips which we followed to the letter without disappointment.

The property is easy walking distance to the university and stadium and about a $10 Uber to downtown.

A real home away from home."
76501,22224050,2014-11-02,8519209,Gregory,"The communication with the host was excellent. The location was the entire second floor. This place was like walking back in time. It had a really cool vibe and was a quiet neighborhood. The cost of a taxi ride to 6th Street runs about 12 dollars, a lot cheaper than a DWI. I would definitely stay here again."
76501,22862686,2014-11-16,23415543,Tina,"The neighborhood is an eclectic older neighborhood.  It is centrally located and convenient to the University of Texas and downtown.  It is only one block from I-35, but is very quiet.  Kevin contacted us to welcome us and give us the details for arriving.  "
76501,23134300,2014-11-23,7403090,Bryant,"Such a great space!  So cozy, very well decorated, spacious, good for cooking and close to a lot of great bars/restaurants/coffee shops/organic groceries.  Would definitely stay again if back in Austin!"
76501,23347378,2014-11-29,24041404,Helene,"
Kevin had the porch light on to welcome me, so that when I arrived after dark,  I was able to locate the place from the street and find the key, where he had said it would be.  He had indicated that he would be traveling most of the time I would be in Austin, so I did not actually meet him.  He had left detailed notes, which made me feel at home in the flat.   Everything went smoothly, from the wifi connection to the kitchen appliances to the thermostat, which could be adjusted during the very changeable weather I encountered.   Also, the bed was very comfy, and I was entertained by interesting art in the (email hidden)ANK YOU, KEVIN..."
76501,23669702,2014-12-07,16567792,Glenn,"Great place, everything was as anticipated, key left under the mat. Kevin was very welcoming - thanks for the accommodations!"
76501,23806558,2014-12-10,14392196,Sanne,"Kevin en Bob's appartement was gezellig en de uitleg was helder. Er lagen leuke tips klaar voor bijvoorbeeld een lekker eetcafé in de buurt. Zelf koken was ook geen probleem in de uitgebreide keuken. We voelden ons erg welkom.

Het universiteitsterrein is op loopafstand en leuk om doorheen te wandelen. Ook zijn er diverse leuke musea in de buurt (half uurtje lopen). We hebben het prima naar ons zin gehad."
76501,23913783,2014-12-14,6892732,Andrew,"Our stay was excellent. Kevin's space is very cool, very unique, and very comfortable. In addition, he's a great host. The neighborhood is also quite nice. We totally recommend!"
76501,24522378,2014-12-30,315751,Sharon,"I loved this apartment and would stay here again. It has the feel of a funky, interesting B&B with lots of vintage Texas-themed art, furniture, and objets d'arte from the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Loved looking through cookbooks on Mexican cooking and loads of architecture magazines and books.  The bedroom has a super comfy bed with lots of pillows and nice blankets. The bathroom had an assortment of shampoos and conditioners from hotels and big fluffy white towels (how DO they keep those towels fluffy?) There was a hairdryer for use also.  We used the living room couch as a place for our son to sleep and that was fine. There were plenty of extra blankets. Oh, and there were extra umbrellas for us to use (which we needed) and bikes available although we didn't use those. There's a lovely porch room that's nice to sit in and read.  The kitchen is super-well equipped and there was coffee beans and a grinder (hopefully) for us to use as we used it.  They had left us a couple of beers in the fridge and invited us to dip (sip?) into their spectacular liqueur collection. 
     Wireless internet service was perfect.  Noise level was great -- quiet street. If anyone was noisy, we might have been, clomping around on the 2nd floor. 
     Finally, the location was wonderful. We walked to the Thunderbird cafe as well as the Cherrywood cafe, and had breakfast tacos at Chilito's. They're also walking distance to a nice restaurant called the Salty Sow. You could probably walk to U.T. although it would take about a half an hour. Parking on the street was fine. "
76501,26204467,2015-02-07,9331128,Lawrence,"Kevin and Bob were helpful, friendly and concerned that we were  finding things to our satisfaction. The neighborhood is close to UT and downtown, and a nice place for a walk on a sunny day. The apt. is large and full of books on architecture and Texas history and full of folk art and many interesting objects. There's a comfortable rocking chair on the sun porch that makes a great place to sit and read and have a cup of tea. I would say that if you require all the modern kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer, a long term stay (we were there a month) might be a bit challenging for you, but all in all I would recommend the apt."
76501,26591742,2015-02-16,9118486,Bertrand & Bjørn,"Kevin and Bob were great at communicating with us prior to our arrival, giving us lots of tips to help make everything as smooth as possible, which ended up being the case. The listing is completely accurate; the apartment is more spacious than on the pictures and the decor is simply one a kind. The place is testament to Kevin and Bob's curious minds and their individual creativity. It took a while to go around the (spotlessly clean) apartment and take in all the incredible objects, collectibles and all the art. For us coming from Europe, we loved the neighbourhood, full of the history of Austin, and its proximity to the University campus and central Austin. Kevin and Bob even joined us for a tour around Austin, including a visit to the incredible LBJ library/museum, and very kindly took us to the most amazing Texan BBQ restaurant in the evening. The apartment is fantastic and Kevin & Bob are bright, kind and fun people. "
76501,26999779,2015-02-23,3773283,Jennifer,"Kevin's place is great! It was easy to get to from the airport, had plenty of parking and was near delicious restaurants and coffee shops. The flat was clean, comfortable, and quiet (even with construction in the backyard!) The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had toiletries and towels, and Kevin thoughtfully provided a variety of beverages in the refrigerator. 

We checked in past midnight and Kevin was more than accommodating. He was easy to communicate with and proactive in contacting me with any potential inconveniences. I only had the opportunity to speak with Kevin for a brief moment but he was friendly and open to providing suggestions. My only issue was finding a place to plug in the hairdryer, but other than that Kevin's loft was the perfect Austin getaway!"
76501,27385758,2015-03-03,6075373,Tina,"I miss Austin!! And Kevin's amazing flat!! I had the most wonderful time, and Kevin couldn't have been more kind and attentive. They even gave me fresh eggs from the chicken coop! It is very well represented on the site, and the proximity to UT and other nearby establishments made this trip a perfect airbnb experience for me, as I was there to work. If I had had a car I would have needed to use it to get downtown, but there are several options for transportation without one.  I look forward to returning to Austin and to Kevin's! Thank you Kevin!"
76501,28376467,2015-03-23,16430113,Katie,"I recently stayed at Kevin's listing for several weeks during SXSW, and the experience couldn't have been better.  The place was clean, spacious and comfortable, with every amenity you could need.  Kevin provided plenty of information covering pretty much anything you could ask for, and was at the ready if any additional questions arose.  The location of this listing was really nice--centrally located to everything I needed, whether by walking, bus or short cab ride.  All in all, I would most definitely stay at this listing again the next time I am in Austin."
76501,32517235,2015-05-19,9555890,Melissa,"Kevin and Bob were super-cool, Superhosts. We were welcomed to Austin in the best possible way, with a comfortable, nicely-furnished-with-vintage-decor, upstairs flat to relax in and figure out our next move. All of their many suggestions for dining and fun were spot on. Also, Kevin made sure we were comfortable in little ways, like making sure we both had umbrellas for the AMAZING thunderstorms providing our soundtrack for a day or so. We had coffee and tea for our mornings, beer in the fridge, and most importantly, a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, just right for landing in Austin for a family function. Wow, their neighborhood is a gem. MANY cool places to eat and drink and socialize with the locals, within walking distance. And I mean just a few blocks, really close. Also, their place is situated so that it is really easy to drive anywhere. The freeway is close, but not at all noticeable by noise, and the airport is easy to come in from and get to. It was very easy for travel. Their animals are fun to hang out with, too, and also laid-back. Ella the dog, Frannie the cat and their two well-socialized chickens were a pleasure to sit with while drinking beer in the backyard. Really, totally chill. Kevin and Bob made our trip way more fun and social than it might have been, otherwise. We would stay with them in the future. Definitely. "
76501,33813113,2015-06-01,31940103,Judy,A girlfriend and I stayed at Kevin and Bob's duplex for 4 days and had the most incredible time!!  Kevin was great with communication from the beginning. He touched base with me the day before we came to find out when we would arrive and immediately had suggestions on places to go.  He left the key for us so that we could settle in earlier than their posted check-in time which was appreciated.  Their place is exactly like the pictures and is full of flavor.  We tried to squeeze in as much as we could while we were there so we didn't spend too much of an extended time at the house other than sleeping and a couple hours here and there but you could  definitely spend time just hanging around their place because their place is designed to make you feel at home as well as all the interesting books and artwork which can keep you occupied for a while!
76501,34351459,2015-06-07,7340959,Ashton,Kevin and Bob were great hosts. Check-in and out were smooth and the place was super cool. I think I spent an hour just looking at different trinkets and books and stuff throughout the apartment. I would definitely stay here again! 
76501,37634627,2015-07-09,14252833,Chin-Sun,"Kevin and Bob take are truly the NICEST, most generous, considerate hosts I've encountered--and I've had some great Airbnb experiences. They left me fresh eggs in the fridge, invited me for cocktails (on top of access to their amazing tiki bar), bought some bikes for my use, gave me a ride one day downtown, and lastly--mailed me a jacket I left behind once I checked out. Their place is gorgeous, very clean and homey, and in a cool, charming neighborhood. I can't say enough about how great they were. Kevin is super-communicative, kind and laid-back. I would highly recommend staying here."
76501,38293198,2015-07-14,17251851,Candice,Kevin was very hospitable and easy to communicate with.  We enjoyed our own private space. The entire place was very clean. We loved looking at all the artsy decorations and the kitchen was adorable.  I will be staying here again next summer!!
76501,45095223,2015-08-31,2577218,Claudio,"Great place, great location, great people! I loved staying there! They're super helpful and sweet, the house is really nice, very fun decorations and very well equipped. Super central and easy to get anywhere.
If I had to complain , I'd say it spoiled me and now I miss being there."
76501,48394835,2015-09-26,14975232,Carrie,"Kevin and Bob were great hosts, I didn't have the chance to meet them in person during my brief stay but they were great about communicating everything we needed to know by phone/text. A very comfortable and fun place to stay, good central location. Highly recommended!"
76501,49758921,2015-10-06,29863971,Ava,Kevin and Bob were lovely hosts! Their second floor flat is awesome and has so many cool items to get lost in and get the true Austin experience! Perfect location for the festival and the other sights of Austin. They had everything we needed! Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin!  
76501,50431406,2015-10-12,34690199,Lindsay,"Had a great time staying here during ACL weekend. It's a little farther from Zilker Park than some other options, but the metro bus stops are so close to walk to and they took us directly to the downtown free shuttle into ACL. Clean, homey, and we had everything we needed. Thank you!"
76501,51012990,2015-10-17,2275096,David,I loved this rental. The house is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The location is conveniently close to the Manor Street restaurants.  I particularly enjoyed perusing the host's wide ranging collection of books. 
76501,52696264,2015-11-01,43348923,Andrew,"Kevin was absolutely an amazing host for our trip to Austin! His communication was excellent right from the beginning. He was even nice enough to warn us of impending bad weather in town on out travel day. We had some horrible travel issues due to weather and Kevin made it really easy for us to still arrive and get in safe and sound. On top of all of that, the space in the flat is really amazing. With eclectic decorations and a cozy bedroom, it has more than you need for maximal comfort and convenience. Definitely made us feel right at home. Additionally it seemed like a really nice little neighborhood. It was close to the UT campus, and it was easy for us to get around and get downtown. I can't say enough. Highly recommended! "
1266401,5838474,2013-07-18,786142,Carter,"Was asked to work in Austin on a short notice and wanted a place that my wife and daughter could feel comfortable in and Nora's spot was perfect. Great location, well appointed and Nora was completely amenable to our requests.  Certainly would recommend her condo for anyone wanting a quiet and comfortable space in Austin with a host who communicates well. Thanks again."
1266401,7089726,2013-09-06,998606,Kim,"Wow- can't say enough about Nora! Our place we had Rez for fell through and it was a Sat night, my husband's birthday and it was 10 at night- NOTHING was available as it was also Labor Day Weekend and a football game for UT- NOTHING WAS AVAILABLE!!
Then Nora called and I just can not describe how sweet her voice was when she said she would have her apartment ready by 11- that was such a huge relief. We could relax and enjoy our dinner. Upon arriving to her spacious, very clean, very comfortable 2/2 we were so very thankful. She greeted us with a smile and was the most gracious host. Yummy thick towels and very good linens as well- what a treat!      off work today- want to know if u can work today and tomorrow!!! We still hav LOTS to do- but it won't be so crazy and stressful- PROMISE!!  Nora also took the time to stock the fridge with breakfast goodies and very good coffee and tea. Thank you so very much, Nora for greatly enhancing our stay that weekend visiting our daughter!!"
1266401,7265909,2013-09-13,8598623,Carmen,"This place was a great choice! It is quiet, super clean, centric and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nora was available all the time though we didn't need to call her, because everything was working right and our requests (extra towels) were attended. I would definitely recommend this place. Thanks Nora!!"
1266401,7521052,2013-09-23,7188304,Donovan,"Nora's place is great. No hassle, place is as shown in pictures, great location to DT Austin. 5 stars. Some friends and I came to Austin for the weekend, Nora was helpful and accommodating. Everything went smooth as hoped, no nasty surprises. Thanks Nora."
1266401,7903305,2013-10-07,1799623,John,Nora's place was wonderful and perfectly located for ACL.  The place is super clean and spacious.  Nothing negative I can say.  Check-in and out was also a breeze and Nora went above and beyond with a quick driving tour around the neighborhood that made the weekend so much easier.  I would stay there again without hesitation.  
1266401,7974113,2013-10-10,9228045,David,Nora's place was exactly as shown and described. Really great access to downtown austin. She had her place setup like a 4 star hotel and communicated extremely well and timely with us! Thanks Nora!
1266401,8216297,2013-10-21,8364511,Ryan,"Nora and her apartment are awesome! I unfortunately didn't get a chance to interact with her, but my friends that met up with her to get the key and the tour only had great things to say about her. 

The apartment itself is just as you see it in the pictures. It was spotless when we got there, and Nora had everything we needed. She leaves a nice binder with the house rules and such on it for easy reference. The location is great, it's a quiet area and about a $12 cab ride out to Sixth. Nice coffee shop (Mozart's) not too far away!

I highly recommend this apartment, and would definitely be willing to stay again when I'm back in Austin."
1266401,8555950,2013-11-04,5189743,Travis,Nora was a great host and very accommodating! Great location and highly convenient. I'll for sure book again!

Nora's an awesome host as well- she responds very promptly to all inquiries and is a pleasure to interact with. She even provided a crib for our toddler, which saved having to bring a pack n play.

I'd highly recommend staying here, and would stay here again next time we're in town."
1266401,9168484,2013-12-10,8332402,Rachel,"Nora was an incredible communicator: prompt, super-friendly and willing to accommodate our needs. She had a quart of  our favorite milk waiting for us in the fridge! The apartment was very clean and there were extra blankets, linens and towels plus everything we needed to keep house for a weekend. We were a group of 9, with people staying in 4 different places all arriving to the airport at different times. Coordinating details was a challenge when Olivia's grad ceremony ended an hour early and Nora saved the day by calling to check on how we were doing. I appreciated this so much. We were able to work out getting the key, and Nora was so kind when I had to call her at about 10 pm to ask a question!!!  The living space was open and roomy enough for all 9 of us to congregate there Sunday afternoon, cook, eat, play charades and watch a football game. The TV is a really nice one.  It was too cold to use the patio but we would have had it been nice outside.  I recommend Nora's apartment wholeheartedly.  Nora is dependable, willing to accommodate needs, and a sweetheart.  The location is close to everything we needed to do as well as the locations of our other family members. The apartment is spacious, clean, well-appointed. A very good value, especially if you have 4 people staying.  It held all 4 adults comfortably!  Thank you, Nora for a terrific airbnb experience."

1266401,9620149,2014-01-03,10535379,Theresa,"Nora's place was perfect for us.  It was super clean, spacious and very close to Downtown Austin.  Nora even provided me with a crib, changing table and some toys for my 15 month old daughter.  Upon our arrival, Nora was very hospitable and showed us all the great features of her place - well equipped kitchen, super clean bathroom, clean & comfy bedrooms, wifi - everything you see in the pictures.  I will definitely be staying here again when I come back to Austin.  I highly recommend this place!  Thank you Nora for having such an awesome place!"
1266401,10021578,2014-01-26,8698614,Laura,"Nora is the perfect host. Easy to communicate with, friendly, flexible. Her place is a real gem: comfortable (great beds), spacious, quiet, equipped with everything you need, in an ideal location and safe neighborhood. Great for runners (close to a park and hike/bike trail) and for a leisurely walk. Highly recommendable. Would definitely love to come back. "
1266401,10334596,2014-02-14,11158197,Meribeth,Clean.  Had all that we needed.
1266401,10680295,2014-03-03,10635609,Helen,Nora was a great host and very quick with responses! We met Nora when we arrived and she gave us a tour of the place. Clean and had everything we needed. Also the perfect location - everything we did was less than a 10 min drive. Would definitely stay at Nora's again! 
1266401,10937414,2014-03-14,421479,Carla,"Our stay was certainly better because of Nora's friendly welcome, her help during our stay and real time communication. I have had lots of experience in Airbnb and she is undoubtedly a very special host. The apartment is great! Comfortable, clean, spacious, lots of closets. Buses nearby will take you to downtown very easily if you do not have a car (our case)."
1266401,11128632,2014-03-22,5321005,Jill,"My husband and I had a great time staying at Nora's cute apartment. She met us at the door to let us in, hand the key off, show us around and even answer any questions we had about things to do in Austin. It was a nice personal touch and we felt really cared for. 

The apartment is clean, attractive and feels good inside! We loved all the soft filtered light streaming in through the bedroom windows.

The location is also great with a park trail minutes from the apartment, and a short drive downtown where so much is happening. 

We would definitely stay here again!"
1266401,11372111,2014-03-31,6044697,Heather,Nora was a wonderful host for our stay in Austin. This was my first experience with Airbnb and I could not be happier. She met us at the apartment to hand off the key and to give us a quick tour. Her apartment was spotless and is in a perfect location. I would love to stay there again if I am ever back in Austin.
1266401,11591146,2014-04-08,4627947,Emma,"We had a great stay at Nora's. Our arrival time kept getting moved around due to flight delays and cancellations but Nora was very helpful and accommodating about everything. The apartment was just like the photos and worked great for our group of 3. It was a short drive to downtown, and the assigned parking spot was very convenient. Highly recommended. "
1266401,11750630,2014-04-14,118464,Lihua & Ron,"Nora is an awesome host! Appreciated meeting her to give a walk-through and was quick to answer any questions throughout our trip. We were out a lot but it was nice to be able to rest up in a place that was cozy, clean, good wifi connection, quiet at night, and having designated parking for our rental was appreciated. Local sites were a short drive away and it was close to a challenging 18-hole golf course."
1266401,12623957,2014-05-06,1621901,Erik,"Nora was a welcoming host; she met us at the door, gave us a quick tour, and answered the few questions we had.

1266401,12751806,2014-05-10,14049266,Tom,My friends and I were on holiday from the UK and Austin was the first stop on our trip through Texas.

We would definitely recommend staying at this location.  
1266401,13982438,2014-06-09,7881985,Irene,"We stayed at Nora's House on June 2014, for the X-games. Her house is really nice, very clean , and the location is awesome. Nora is an amazing host , very accessible and caring . She show us around, and gave us recommendations on what to do in Austin. We had a really good time at her house and we are very grateful with her:) "

The location of her condo is a mile from Lake Austin and minutes from downtown.  The condo was perfect for a family of four and had all of the amenities for cooking, wifi, cable, central heating and cooling, etc. needed for entertainment and accommodating the needs of our family no matter the weather conditions outdoors!  Austin is a beautiful city and staying at Nora's place only enhanced our overall experience that couldn't have been matched with a hotel suite.  Thank you, Nora for having a very inviting and comfortable home.   "
1266401,16283526,2014-07-24,18556925,J,Nora was very nice and friendly. Home was clean and close to downtown Austin.  
1266401,16662759,2014-07-31,8002383,Margarita,"Nora was a great host, very responsive and welcoming. The apartment was in a fabulous location, in a very nice, quiet neighborhood that was down the street from the neighborhood park and pool. UT, downtown, SoCo, Whole Foods, Barton Springs, Zilker Park, etc. were all only 5-10 minutes away. 

The apartment itself was pristine, and had just the right amount of furniture and supplies that we needed. Lots of empty closets/storage, an ample supply of linens, but with space enough that our toddler was happy to walk around without bumping into furniture or appliances. We also really appreciated the availability of a crib and childproofed doors!"
1266401,16958712,2014-08-04,19140707,Deon,"What an amazing place to stay, Nora was a WONDERFUL host!  We showed up and she gave us a tour of her apartment, which was gorgeous,  there were plenty of amenities that she offered.  It felt like we were staying with a friend that we have known for years which is an amazing feeling when you're staying away from home.  She provided everything we needed, towels, extra blankets, extra pillows, everything for cooking and drink, toiletries and bath, even beer in the fridge from previous guests!  There was a binder she has with all kinds of activities to do, transportation and WiFi passwords.  The neighborhood was gorgeous, very high end, friendly neighbors as well."
1266401,17980001,2014-08-19,15875370,Sofia,Nora really made us feel right at home. Everything is SUPER clean and comfy. The neighborhood is very nice and really close to downtown. If we ever have family in town we will definitely recommend Nora's place. Thanks for a great stay!

1266401,18907712,2014-09-02,20073147,Sarah,"I visited Austin with four friends and Nora's place was perfect for our trip! The place was super clean, cute and everything we needed was there. The location was great, but we did have a car. There was a spot right in front of the place which was very convenient. 
Nora was an excellent host! She was easy to get a hold of and made sure we knew how to reach her if we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the city!"
1266401,19105644,2014-09-06,856478,Ethan,"Nora was the perfect host.  The apartment was clean, had all the amenities and was in a convenient location (about a $8-$10 Uber ride to downtown).  Nora was very accommodating.  Our flight got delayed and we ended up getting in later than expected.   Nora made sure we still got the keys and got in safely and then surprised us w/ a fridge stocked w/ beers.  "
1266401,20417594,2014-09-29,18764136,Lynd,"Nora has created an attractive sanctuary from the bustle of Austin in her comfy little apartment. From the moment she welcomed us at the door and made sure all our questions were answered until we left for the airport 6 days later, Nora made us feel at home. Her apartment was a comfortable and quiet oasis--she even put white noise machines in each bedroom to mask traffic sounds (we didn't use them after the first night). The apartment has a dedicated parking space but it can be challenging to juggle parking if you have more than one car. The small complex her apartment is in is located in a safe and reasonably quiet (given its proximity to one of Austin's suburban arteries) residential neighborhood. Except for a lonely dog in the apartment below, we never heard or saw any of the neighbors. The kitchen was supplied with almost everything we needed; there were plenty of towels in the bathroom and blankets and pillows in the bedrooms; the stereo in the living room worked well; and the Internet connection was excellent. But what made this a stand-out experience was Nora's flexibility and kindness in working with our schedule and requests. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
1266401,20830440,2014-10-06,20350402,Jamie,"This was my first AirBnB and a great one. Nora's place was clean, well supplied and exactly as described. We had everything needed for a great stay, had a great time and appreciate Nora letting us use her place. "
1266401,21192879,2014-10-13,12710619,Chris,Great experience all the way around. Nora is an excellent host. The apartment was perfectly located and worked great for our group of 3. Very clean and comfortable. Good tech too! Great wifi and fast internet connection.

It was fantastic to have a kitchen, we saved a lot of money eating in (though the food in Austin should not be missed!). "
1266401,22609842,2014-11-10,22686602,Joelle,"Nora's apartment was great! We were 4 guest and were perfectly confortable with the 2 rooms and the sofa-bed in the living room. The apartment was clean, all ready for our stay. We had a conference downtown and did not have a car so we took the bus - a 15 min bus ride. Very easy. Nora was very attentive to us (prior and during our stay) and responded quickly when we had questions.
"
1266401,22898484,2014-11-17,18042560,Graham,"Nora's home was perfect for our family of four. The location is close to downtown, so you have access to all the fun that Austin has to offer, but also it is in a ritzy part of town, so we felt very safe and at home."
1266401,23320717,2014-11-29,9016960,Alice,Perfect base for us while attending a family gathering in Tarrytown.  Nora's apartment is very well equipped and she is a great host.

1266401,23844237,2014-12-12,4844136,Vanessa,"Nora was an excellent host. She was very communicative since the beginning and was always available by phone.
Her place is in an excellent location! We were minutes away from downtown and most places we visited, including UT. It was also close to a running trail that went all along the CO River and there is a public golf course nearby.
The place was clean and perfect size for the 3 of us. It can definitely fit a family of 4.
I will definitely contact Nora whenever I have to go back to Austin and hope that her place is available!"

1266401,28492948,2015-03-24,14194988,Julia,"Nora's apartment was absolutely perfect for us. So central to all the things we wanted to do -- Zilker Park, UT's campus and tons of delicious tacos. Nora was flexible on check-in time and so sweet! Absolutely wonderful experience. "

1266401,31899404,2015-05-11,30013155,Colin,"Nora was a great host. She arrived promptly for check-in and went over all the aspects of the apartment. She was responsive by text message with any minor questions we have. As far as the place goes, the interior is cute, clean, and colorful. The place also has easy access to Mopac making it quick to get around.

Everything was as described, and I would have no hesitation staying here again."

1266401,35499682,2015-06-19,21851237,Jeff,Nora was great. She was very helpful and responsive. The apartment was very clean and cute. Perfect for me and my two sons. It's also a perfect location to get around town.  Straight east and you are downtown. Straight south and you are at Lady Bird Lake. One block to Mopac and then you can zip to north or south Austin. I'll probably stay here again.
1266401,37240078,2015-07-05,1295201,Kerry,"A pleasure from beginning to end! The apartment is just as is shown in the photos, and the location is super convenient. Nora met us when we arrived and made sure we were well-versed in the details of the apartment. Extra pillows, toiletries and pantry basics were all provided. The beds are comfortable and everything is perfect working order. Having a guaranteed parking spot is a definite bonus. Close to the marvelous Hike and Bike, groceries nearby, coffee shops and the lake a stone's throw away. 
I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone planning a stay in Austin."
1266401,38924234,2015-07-19,1936180,Tobias,The apartment was clean and as advertised. Nora was super nice and helpful. We didn't need help but felt like she was there if we did. Solid Airbnb experience!

The locations was so close to everything we wanted to do, right off a major freeway with easy access to UT campus, downtown, South Congress Ave and more. Also, there is a public pool one block away. 
Nora was also super flexible on our arrival time to meet us there ( we hit traffic coming from the airport) and our check out time since we had a late flight. (Fortunately she didn't have anyone checking in the day we checked out.)
If you're looking for a comfortable place to call home for your trip, this is it. I would DEFINITELY stay here again! Thank you, Nora, for making our vacation so great! "

She also provided us with useful information for getting around town and gave recommendations for what sites to see during our stay.  The apartment itself was perfect for our long weekend stay for ACL.  The neighborhood was quiet, but close enough to the downtown areas where we wanted to explore.  We were very comfortable in the space and would definitely consider visiting Austin again!"
1266401,49980385,2015-10-08,19792035,Katie,Nora met us at the apartment upon arrival to show us around the space and give us a rundown of house amenities and rules.

The apartment has labels to help you with things like AC, laundry, and which towels to use. It's very handy! The apartment itself is very nice and comfortable. There is a comfy sofa and large TV, and the kitchen is functional, with a spacious fridge. The beds are great, and the white noise machines are a cool addition. The location is very good -- it is a quiet part of town, but there is easy access to Mopac (Highway 1) as well as downtown. An uber/cab to downtown costs between $5-$10. The wifi is fast, and the parking is convenient. We felt right at home, and wish we could have stayed longer in our former home town!"
1266401,51927418,2015-10-25,44534950,Susan,"We loved that we met Nora and her girls. She showed us around the property and had a guest book with info such as the TV stations,  etc."

The apartment was very cozy and super clean. There were plenty of towels, shampoo/conditioner/soap. There's a double bed, two twins, and a pull out couch. We slept on the double, which was a little hard, but the sheets/blanket were comfy and soft.

The neighborhood felt very safe. I wasn't disturbed by any noises outside the apartment or in neighboring units. There are bus stops right in front of the apartment--eastbound and westbound stops. The buses run every ~30 minutes during the day, ~40 minutes at night. If you use the Capital Metro app, you can see when the next bus is due. A daily pass is only $2.50 for local buses. The eastbound bus will take you into the heart of the downtown area where you can catch other bus routes pretty much wherever. We walked a lot, but it would be very easy to bus everywhere; you might just have to wait a bit for the next bus. 

"
6313948,49735980,2015-10-05,34438895,Tim,Laura was very hospitable and accommodating during our stay. She allowed us to check in early and had everything set up and ready to go with information regarding her apartment plus fun ideas for things to do in the surrounding area.

999823,13911792,2014-06-08,11863112,Mike,"If you are looking for a place in South Austin, look no further.  Nan has perfectly hit the ""helpful balance"", without tipping over into hovering territory.  She provided immediate responses to my questions, was there to help me get settled in arrival, and just generally was as helpful as possible, and offered more than asked.  She is a delightful host. "
999823,15401202,2014-07-08,11230324,Lauren,"Nan is a superb host and has a great space in one of Austin's best neighborhoods. The studio is just as it looks in the pictures -  bright, clean and is a great size for two people. Plus, Nan leaves snacks and drinks - which we loved! Nan was very flexible with meeting times (we got in late) and was communicative in booking and during our stay. We will be back!"
999823,15724246,2014-07-14,17577958,Hannah,"Hidden Gem! My husband and I had such a wonderful stay at this perfect loft in the heart of SoCo, Austin. The room was exactly as it was listed. It is less than a block to great restaurants and shopping as well as some famous areas of Austin. The hosts have bicycles for use and were more than happy to help answer any questions we had about the area during our stay. Nan was such a pleasant host and her friendliness as well as the location and the perfect loft will definitely bring us back here again soon, next time with some friends or family to rent their other available location. "
999823,16141204,2014-07-22,3935720,Paul,"What a great experience! Nan's communication was fantastic - quickly answering questions and providing recommendations leading up to our stay. The location of the apartment was incredible. Right in the heart of the SoCo (South Congress) neighborhood, steps away from great restaurants and shops. The loft was beautiful - clean, spacious, and modern. Features included a large flat screen TV, Blu-ray player, stereo, and fridge (which Nan kindly stocked with beer and bottled water). Nan and her husband were the ultimate hosts, setting us up with bikes from their fleet (with helmets, lights, and locks included) and recommending routes for touring Austin by bike. I will certainly stay here again on any future trips to Austin, and recommend it to all of my friends."
999823,16489918,2014-07-28,17568834,Sadie,I was lucky enough to find this place! The location is awesome in the heart of  S. Congress and walking distance to awesome restaurants and live music! The loft is perfect for the business traveler who is tired of staying in hotels or the vacationing person looking to experience the Austin scene to the fullest. I was in Austin for 7 days on business and an extended weekend. The loft provided a great home away from home experience. The loft is easy to work from with great high speed internet. There is a parking spot available for easy commuting the next morning. The hosts are amazing and provided everything needed. The description and pictures are true. This was an excellent experience. I will definitely being staying here again!
999823,17640841,2014-08-15,17538659,Cheston,"     What an awesome time! Nan and Jeff helped make Austin comfortable and welcoming despite the unfortunate triple digit temperatures. communicating beforehand was a breeze and they could not have been more accommodating when we arrived. 
     First we arrived a couple hours early and it was no problem. Jeff Greeted us, set us up with recommendations, keys, and some basic geography. The space was cozy - but more than adequate for our needs. It was cool - a pleasant relief from the heat, clean, and very well appointed. Most important though it was convenient. We were able to walk to many of our stops all week and with the bikes they provided hitting up Barton Springs and Blues in the Park was a breeze. That said there were so many destinations just around the corner. In fact it shares an alley with an awesome record store - great cocktails at Little Barrel and Brown - and tons of quality antique, art, and clothing retailers up and down South congress within minutes on foot.
    We were new to AirBnB, and honestly a little nervous, but our experience has gone a long way in making AirBnB our first stop for travel accommodations - We highly recommend staying here."
999823,18943840,2014-09-03,481629,Andy,Great host. Lovely space literally right off S Congress in the best area of SoCo.  Super comfy couch and bed.  Easy to check in/check-out. Definitely would recommend for short stays.  
999823,19232342,2014-09-08,12190646,Maggie,"Had a great 3 night stay in one of Nan and Jeff's apts. The room was spacious and very clean and the location was unbeatable, right in the heart of Soco. They were extremely welcoming and helpful whether it was with directions, or setting us up with bikes, or bringing by more supplies if needed. I definitely recommend staying in their art alley lofts and would return for sure next time I'm in Austin!"
999823,19691479,2014-09-16,15726112,Patricia,"I can't imagine a better place to stay in Austin. Nan and Jeff are warm, interesting and very helpful. The loft was comfortable and attractive, and the location perfect for us. 

Their suggestions for places to see were spot on for our interests. And we really enjoyed getting around town on bikes they lent us. 

Thanks to Nan, our Austin visit was great. "
999823,20200586,2014-09-25,1039632,Michael,The place was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. I have stayed in many airbnb's in Austin and the Art Alley Lofts tops the charts. 
999823,20555280,2014-10-01,5018929,James,We loved staying at the loft!  Nan was so welcoming and the loft is in a perfect location for exploring Austin.  We loved the space in the loft and all the thoughtful amenities.  Would definitely stay there again!
999823,20810834,2014-10-06,14816519,Reg,Nan and Jeff are amazing hosts. The loft was clean and set up nicely. Location is perfect and in a great neighborhood. I would recommend staying here and will definitely be back in the near future to stay here again. 
999823,20939594,2014-10-07,14816519,Reg,Enjoyed our loft so much we decided to stay another night. Thanks to Nan for being such a gracious host. 
999823,21441432,2014-10-17,22211756,Joanna,Nan was incredibly welcoming and warm. The space is ideal for exploring South Congress and was a great spot to refresh before taking on the city. Nan made sure to have all the creature comforts available. She even let me keep my bag there a while longer on the check out day. I totally recommend this place for a quick or even an extended trip to Austin.
999823,22578922,2014-11-10,5563776,Jesse,"Nan and Jeff were amazing hosts. Both were super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The apartment is clean, modern and in an awesome location. The free bicycles are great as well. The *only* downside is that the walls are very thin, so if you are a light or late sleeper, you may get woken up by a train once or twice. But even then, this is still a fantastic place to stay while in Austin."
999823,22786105,2014-11-14,5422056,Robbie,Great place cool spot walk everywhere. Nan was very helpful and the place was perfect. Like a holiday inn but more comfortable. Watch your head getting up from the couch though!
999823,23119170,2014-11-23,23451495,Jeffrey,"My stay was great! Nan is a great hostess (and she is Dutch but I didn't get to practice much). The location is super central to all things SOCO. Walking is a breeze. Parking is a breeze. Comfortable lodgings in a nice updated unit. Really enjoyed my stay, would recommend."
999823,23574246,2014-12-05,23411548,Tobi,"Nan hat viel für uns gemacht! Sie holte uns vom Bahnhof ab und brachte uns bei der Abreise auch wieder dorthin. Infos über die besten Restaurants und Ausflugstipps gab es reichlich. Im Apartment lagen einige Snacks und ein paar gekühlte Getränke bereit - die gab es kostenlos! Überhaupt ist das Apartment toll eingerichtet. Downtown mit der Kneipenmeile Sixth Street ist auch mit einem Fußmarsch gut zu erreichen. Wer nicht so gerne läuft, findet bei Nan eine große Auswahl an Fahrrädern. Beim Ausleihen ist leider ein wenig Papierkram zu erledigen, aber gut, damit wollen sich die Gastgeber eben absichern. Alles in allem ein wirklich toller Aufenthalt in einer toller Stadt. "
999823,23643556,2014-12-07,1603415,Keith,"Nan's place was awesome and the check in process was the smoothest I've had of any airbnb. The apartment is sweet and couldn't be in a better location!!!

️️️️️"
999823,23819148,2014-12-11,23980523,Karmah,"We had such a fantastic experience here. The place is beautiful and clean, and Nan was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations for places to eat nearby (there are many). The loft is well-appointed amd the bed is comfortable. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin!"
999823,23956507,2014-12-15,15395944,Jaye,Jeff was a very amiable host and was most helpful. The apartment was comfortable and in a great location.  We had a great time exploring Austin.
999823,24389061,2014-12-27,3132769,Martina,"We loved our stay at the Artist Loft in SOCO. Couldn't have asked for a better location to all of the shops, restaurants and cool hangout spots on South Congress. The hosts were excellent and super responsive. We borrowed their bicycles and pedaled all around Austin. Room was super clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here the next time we are in Austin. "
999823,24538756,2014-12-30,12422433,Cindi,The loft was very charming and the location can't be beat. Just one block off of the heart of South Congress. Nan is super friendly and goes out of her way to provide for her guests. I would book this unit again in a heartbeat and will recommend it to friends visiting Austin.
999823,24945489,2015-01-04,4684002,Amanda,Nan was a wonderful hostess.  She was actually kind enough to pick us up from the airport on New Years Eve since we were arriving late.  The apartment was just as advertised and right in the heart of SoCo.  She even stocked the fridge with some thoughtful items for our stay.  We had a great time in Austin.
999823,25265633,2015-01-11,11211853,Robbie,"We had a great time staying at Nan's place in Austin! Even though Nan was out of town when she arrived, she arranged to have her assistant Sarah meet us and greet us. Communication beforehand was fantastic--she even put a French press in the studio when I told her about my coffee addiction. The studio is ideally located in the South Congress neighborhood--we walked to so many fun restaurants and shops. We would definitely come back to Austin and stay here again! "
999823,25689117,2015-01-23,9798138,Andrew,"An amazing location with easy, unfettered access to SoCo. Nan's lofts are comfortable, well appointed and easy to access whether you have a vehicle, bike or Public transportation. Nan was on-site and incredibly easy to work with, providing great advice and service. No issues whatsoever, will stay here again if there's an opening, but this place should be booked constantly with all it has to offer."
999823,25751699,2015-01-25,25407138,Sheila,"This place was so great. Nan was very helpful, prompt and welcoming. The set up was perfectly cozy and I felt right at home. The location of the Lofts is fantastic - central to all my favorite places in Austin, and I could walk nearly everywhere I wanted. I will absolutely stay again. Thank you!"
999823,25926060,2015-01-30,3030687,Dre,"This is a great location! Bars, restaurants and shops all in easy walking distance. Nan herself is a truly awesome host who went above and beyond to help me. "
999823,26306715,2015-02-09,19978621,Jeffrey,"Nan was super friendly and made the check in process super simple.  Allowed us to drop our bags off in the early morning and managed to get us checked in 2 hours early....even had a couple of cold local brews in the fridge for us.  Loft was 100% accurately advertised, clean, quiet, and around the block from one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here if or when I  returned to Austin"
999823,26730698,2015-02-18,21931206,Ann,"Nan was a terrific host - she kept in touch with us during the booking, arrival and stay phases.  The loft was in a great location - perfect for our first taste of Austin - within walking distance of the city center, but we didn't need to venture far for loads of restaurants, live music, coffee, vegan friendly cafes, food trucks and vintage shops.  Uber had very short response times no matter where we were, and renting a car in town (instead of at the airport) was very reasonable.  Nan had snacks and drinks in stock when we arrived, so we didn't feel like we had to run to a store before we took our first walk around town.  We highly recommend the Lofts."

999823,27000559,2015-02-23,26806698,Erin,The place was even better than the pictures! It's in a perfect location and extremely homey! Nan was very accommodating and helpful! I highly recommend it! 
999823,27392063,2015-03-03,26171448,Andrew,Great location for south congress. Clean place that matched pictures. Was unable to be reached after initial meeting. 
999823,28115819,2015-03-18,9429645,Ian,"Great place! I would stay there again. I really liked the availability of the bikes (even though I didn't use them), the proximity to downtown and nearby venues, and the snacks (I can't do lactose so the fig bars were a nice touch). Thanks!"
999823,28537365,2015-03-25,8998698,Jason,"I had an amazing time while staying at Nan's place. The Art Alley Lofts are placed in the perfect location—near a ton of great restaurants, bars and shops on South Congress. Nan was the perfect host and gave me wonderful recommendations along with a warm welcome. The room had all of the essentials you could ask for and was really comfortable. There's also a couple of bikes that you can loan to ride around town. What else could you ask for?! Such a great place to stay at while in Austin. "
999823,30666217,2015-04-26,26426441,Jessica,"I can't say enough good things about Nan and her listing! The loft was beautiful and provided many amenities that I would have never thought to ask for. It was in a perfect location, a nice neighborhood, was quiet and provided a perfect view of the Austin sky. I especially loved the courtyard area. It was nice to meet her, putting a face to the name, and she was so nice to give recommendations for places that my boyfriend and I would enjoy while in Austin. I will definitely be staying at her place again the next time I am in Austin! "
999823,31597079,2015-05-07,18578310,Aimee,"Host made us feel welcome from the start! She met us at the lofts when we arrived in Austin to show us our room, and gave us some recommendations for the good restaurants within walking distance. The listing was as described, and very convenient to the SoCo area and rest of downtown. We didn't end up using the bikes available, but were able to walk around the entire time instead. Nan had beer, water, and snacks for us in our room and I thought it was a sweet gesture to make us feel welcome. "
999823,32159359,2015-05-15,2834083,Amy,"We were met on arrival ..Nan is lively. The place matches the photos and description .. very clean, comfortable .. and the bed is great! South Congress is a wonderful neighbourhood."
999823,32232413,2015-05-16,2834083,Amy,"Ha! My last review said Nan is lively .. she is that, but i meant lovely .. a great experience all around. I would recommend this place to anyone. Enjoy!"
999823,32816840,2015-05-22,25439389,Phil,Wonderful space in a fantastic location.  Nan was a terrific host.
999823,33061067,2015-05-25,22843585,Michael,Very positive. Great location. 
999823,35898952,2015-06-22,10806831,Jason,"We had such a lovely time in Nan's loft. She responded to us quickly when we needed a place ASAP. Very cozy and comfortable, steps from SOCO, ridiculously luxurious shower, and beer in the fridge ;) would most definitely stay there again!"
999823,39586276,2015-07-24,23566740,John,"Nan's husband greeted us and he was very friendly. The apartment is a nice studio in an amazing location. We were only in two for two night and this place was perfect. The parking isn't technically on site, but the spots you can use are literally 20 feet away, or 50 yards away. So it's still great. "
999823,39951083,2015-07-27,6407889,Steve,"Jeff was extremely accommodating. The apartment is located close to the action, and there's plenty going on in Austin. The loft was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed for our three-day visit. When we had questions, Jeff got back to us quickly. He knows all there is to know about the city and didn't steer us wrong once."
999823,44707119,2015-08-28,9798138,Andrew,"Another great stay at the Art lofts. So comfortable, so convenient and such great people to work with.  If you're lucky, there might just be some fantastic home brew available to try. Thanks Nan!"
999823,45771507,2015-09-06,30019437,Kate,We had a great stay in Austin! Nan was great! She met us at arrival and gave us a glass of delicious home brewed beer and several recommendations for exploring! The accommodations were very clean and comfortable.  The SoCo area has plenty to offer and the art alley lofts were the perfect location! We will definitely stay there again next time we are in Austin! 
999823,46232942,2015-09-08,7749307,Anne,"Couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at Art Alley Lofts for 2 nights in Austin. Nan was most accommodating to our 'earlier-than-anticipated' arrival and gave us tips on places to go and things to do, as well as a pint of delicious home brew!

The lofts are very well maintained, with all of the amenities you might need. Not a full kitchen, but microwave and electric kettle, which was perfect considering part of the reason we were in Austin was to try all of the delicious foods! Even had beach towels to take out with us. The location was fantastic, walking distance to the vintage shops and amazing restaurants on 1st and South Congress streets. We borrowed the bikes, complete with helmets and locks (they had baskets, lights, and accessories of all kinds should we have needed them). The city is great for biking and we went over along Lady Bird Lake, to Barton Springs, and to the SoCo bridge to watch the bats. 

Our stay was most enjoyable and we'd 100% return or recommend to friends."
999823,46482670,2015-09-11,4439443,Shane,"Location is wonderful, apartment is clean and very well maintained.  It was great! "
999823,47274539,2015-09-17,41482013,Kathleen,"From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and appreciated.
Nan, your BNB's are awesome, and we will return.
Jeff, your home brew and bike sharing were so appreciated.
I don't have an iota of criticism.
Thanks for a great holiday!"
999823,48697684,2015-09-28,16789039,Ian,"Nan and Jeff were great hosts.  The location was great for my Aunt and Uncle who were visiting from England.  It provided a close by place for them to stay in their own comfortable bed and space.  I live about 4 blocks away and it was easy to either walk to meet them or to drive to get them down the alley.

It was easy coordinating the check-in time.  She also provided with some beer in the mini-fridge, coffee pods for the keurig, and let us taste their recently brewed beer!  It was a great beer sample and a great introduction to their vacation.

I would definitely recommend for someone who is looking for a place to stay that provides them easy access to SoCo, South 1st, and quickly downtown.

It also has a great little courtyard at the bottom of the steps to sit if the weather is cooler and permits such activity.

My biggest concern was having my uncle go up and down the steps as he has knee issues and has to use a cane.  He did not have any problems going up the steps, the stairs and more importantly rails seemed sturdy and great for him go up and down."
999823,49589022,2015-10-05,6669139,Carter,Nan is a great host and made us feel very welcome on a busy ACL weekend.  She stopped by to give us parking passes (a must for parking anywhere near ACL) and a glass of their home brew beer!  She also gave us a bike map of the area and recommended a great route around Lady Bird Lake.
999823,51928106,2015-10-25,44598796,Don,"This is a really nice place and very comfortable for two people. Nan was friendly and helpful when we arrived, even offering us some of their home brew! The neighborhood is great with lots of food, music and shopping choices a short walk away. Visitors are wise to read Nan's directions carefully, as the place faces the alley in back of the address listed. 

Inside, we had access to wifi, HD cable, DVD and a stereo, a one-cup coffee maker, microwave and small fridge, with some drinks already inside and a basket of goodies on top.

This loft studio has everything you need for a fun weekend in one of the best towns in the US. "
999823,52673985,2015-11-01,35383296,Jeffrey,"We had a great time in Austin. Nan and her husband were great hosts. They made us fee right at home. The apartment was clean, comfortable and spot on for what we were looking for. It's in a great location too. 

We would have a stayed there longer if it wasn't for work, kids, pets......


"
363946,10901540,2014-03-12,11187568,Dan,I'm not sure Nick could have done anything more to make us feel welcome ahead of time! Possibly the perfect host. Recommended for anyone looking for a decent size house in the Austin area. 
4764913,23985959,2014-12-15,3128171,West,"We probably saved a hundred bucks on cabs because Leah picked us up and dropped us off at the airport! And her place is great, brand new 2-floor house with everything you'd want: fancy kitchen, washer/dryer, you name it. Our bedroom was perfect with its own brand new bathroom. 

Leah has tons of great local recommendations. She was really kind and helpful.

The location is perfect. Close to all the hustle but quiet at night for a great night sleep."
4764913,25636862,2015-01-21,3044315,Anjali,"Leah was a fantastic host during our stay in Austin. She was easy to reach and her house was spotless. Our guest room was extremely comfortable. She had provided toothpaste, soap and lotion in our brand new private bath off of our bedroom. The bed itself was wonderful to sleep in and very cozy. The morning we arrived, Leah was out and returned with coffee, bread and snacks for us to have in case we were hungry. She travels often for work, so it was like we had the place to ourselves but for the cost of just renting a private room. I highly recommend her place, which is only a $5 uber ride to South Congress, which has great shops and restaurants. She is located near St. Edwards University and we enjoyed our walk through the historic campus."
4764913,25805582,2015-01-26,2600562,Brandon,"Leah was extremely hospitable and very informative about the neighborhood. The place was very clean, spacious, comfortable and quiet. You can't go wrong booking this place, highly recommend. I'll definitely stay there again on next visit. "
4764913,28898775,2015-03-31,459257,Michel,"Clean, comfortable, and convenient location.  Perfect experience!"
4764913,29425071,2015-04-07,28073897,Anna,"Leah was a great host - very communicative with details, responsive, and kind. The house itself was beautiful, well kept and appointed, in a very cool location. Would certainly recommend, thanks for the great experience!"
4764913,29954098,2015-04-14,915505,Samantha,"Leah was a very sweet host. She made sure I had everything I needed, and I appreciated having a fully stocked bathroom. She was very kind and gave me a ride to dinner too. Thanks Leah!"
4764913,30687689,2015-04-26,7075105,Rebecca,"Beautiful house, great location, and was very comfortable. The smallest details were thought of like shampoo to coffee. It was a great experience!"
4764913,32009679,2015-05-12,32373331,Linda,"I was down in Austin for a conference and Leah's place was in the perfect location for me. It is right off of South Congress, so it was super easy to get back and forth from the restaurants and shopping in that area. The bed is very comfortable and I really liked having the bathroom within the bedroom. Everything was new and very clean.  I would definitely stay here again. 
Even though I didn't spend much time with Leah, she was very accommodating and made me feel welcome."
4764913,32639698,2015-05-19,17679555,Greg,"I had an excellent stay at Leah's place! The place was really clean, the bed was comfortable, and having my own private bathroom and shower attached to the room was great! Having towels, shampoo, and all the typical amenities was really nice. The place is off the main drag but still a short 10-15 minute walk to the heart of SoCo - lots of restaurants - and a short Uber ride downtown (like $5). 

Leah was really kind and accommodating. She had great suggestions for places to eat and things to do and was overall just really pleasant to hang out with! She invited me to join her friends for brunch at her place, and she and her boyfriend even dropped me off out of their way downtown at a great coffee shop. 

I would stay here again without any hesitation!"
4764913,32931470,2015-05-23,12200583,Annie,"I visited Leah's apartment for one night with my boyfriend while we explored the city of Austin. Before arriving in Austin, Leah provided us with a detailed list of how to get in, and other relevant information like wifi details, where we could find extra towels, food recommendations, etc. Although we only planned on renting the room, Leah was out of town for the weekend, so we had the pleasure of using the entire apartment to ourselves. It is beautifully kept, comfortable and conveniently located only about a mile from SoCo. She made our stay so enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend this place to a friend!!"
4764913,33393238,2015-05-27,13553002,New,"Leah's home is an absolute must, it has  everything you ask for in an accommodation, Leah's home is very clean, yet cozy with great interior style, a comfy bed in a calm room, everything you need in the bathroom such as soap, shampoo, conditioner, even make up remover and facial scrub (yes!!!!) with hair dryer and first aid kit. This lady can host! 

In regards for getting into the house, this was very organised and handy, she had a code as the lock, that she provides you with before your arrival, so no stress for meeting up or if your flight is delayed, the code is the key!  

Location wise: Leah's house is very close to the trendy area SoCo (15 min walk) or you can Uber it in 2min (very cheap) and 15mins away from the airport (25$) or she even suggested picking me up, however sadly we didn't get to meet as Leah had to be away. 

Leah's has a list of great rec. that I tried out, such as an amazing seafood restaurant La Perla and other Texan must do places. 

Do not hesitate in staying at Leah's - you wont regret it. 

Thanks Leah - i loved your home. 
 "
4764913,34471696,2015-06-08,6660929,Lydia,"Leah's home was absolutely adorable!  Everything was new, clean, & comfortable, just as the description and photos portray.  She was actually out of town the weekend I stayed so I had the place to myself and made sure to be available to me when she was needed.  The overall stay was great.  The only thing I would have liked to have been more aware of is the proximity to SOCO and the nearby area.  I was without a car for the weekend and it seemed as though everything was a little too far to walk but, in an UBER could be reached in less than 10 minutes.  I was thinking it was more centrally located.  It was a little inconvenient without a car if I just wanted a quick coffee or snack.  I also had a few incidents with the door key pad.  I actually got locked out of the apartment once because I had no key and the key pad was not letting me in but, Leah was responsive and got it taken care of in about an hour.  She even paid for an UBER for me to go somewhere and wait, in the meantime.  I would definitely stay here again after all of the troubleshooting. :)"
1747961,7910887,2013-10-07,9234672,Melissa,We had a great stay here- Sharon treated us like family and welcomed us in to her home with open arms. My boyfriend and I staid with her for ACL and the location was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
1747961,7992076,2013-10-11,1413868,Hope,"Sharon's house is convenient to everything on the westside of Austin. She is a truly warm and inviting host, and offers green smoothies and fresh backyard eggs for breakfast. The room I stayed in was small w/ a futon. There was not a place to unpack (maybe in a small writing desk?), so it got a little crowded once my boyfriend also arrived to join me. The floor was mostly taken up w/ our bags and shoes. For the money, though, you can't beat the congeniality and convenient location."
1747961,8066001,2013-10-14,8657897,Richard,"Sharon has a great spot just west of downtown Austin. Very much a laid back, out-of-the-city feel, yet, at the same time, convenient for trips to barton springs, zilker park, and downtown. Very reasonably priced and Sharon definitely has some interesting stories to tell. She may even cook you an omelette from her free range chicken coup eggs! Very hospitable and you can't go wrong with that!"
1747961,8699908,2013-11-12,7005458,Brooklyn,"My stay at Sharon's house was perfect. She was helpful telling me about the area and how to get around. She felt like a understanding non judgemental, cool mother instead of a stranger/host. She made me feel very comfortable and as soon as I arrived she showed me her chickens and told me I could have some of the eggs they made. 
We had a few conversations about semi personal stuff and even our conversations flowed and didn't feel forced or akward. Her house is in a perfect area tons of stores in walking distance (even a Starbucks) and downtown and tons of water areas are just minutes away. She even cooked us (me and the other guest) dinner...and it was yummy :-)...I will definetly be coming back to Sharon's place if I ever come back to austin tx. It felt like a home away from home. "
1747961,8876352,2013-11-23,9987760,Jacques,Good experience. Sharon is a generous host!
1747961,9287107,2013-12-18,10073789,Sophia,"I landed in Austin at Sharon's for my first week of an extended retreat of sorts, and felt very welcomed by Sharon. She is a great host, and I found her personable, easy going, intelligent and generous. She upgraded my room when I got there and I had the place to myself much of the time I was there. I loved the setting of the house…treed backyard with chickens (and fresh eggs), looking out over predominately treed hills, and I had many a sit in the chair out in the front yard under the trees with the sun filtering through. Really nice area to walk in and close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the Botanical Gardens. I found the house to be fairly comfortable although it needs repair work and deeper cleaning, IMO. If you don't mind a little funkiness you will probably enjoy your stay with Sharon."
1747961,10126062,2014-02-01,11661155,Jake,Great host and great location
1747961,10402881,2014-02-17,11965719,María,"Sharon is a great person. On the day of my arrival she was sharing all the info about buses, grocery stores, and other practical info. She was very kind and tried to make me feel at home. I really enjoyed my stay at her place. She was trying to help me in my search for an apartment. I am really happy that I found her!"
1747961,10461011,2014-02-19,11849072,Ren,"Sharon was a very warm, friendly and considerate host, who went to great lengths to ensure that my stay was comfortable. When I had to cut my stay short for some reason, she was very understanding and had a flexible change policy. "
1747961,10736135,2014-03-04,11393453,Vito,I was here for a short two night stay.  Everything went extremely well.  Sharon quickly responded to my inquiries and I made my way there quickly and easily (I booked same day).  Place was nice and as described.  I brought my road bike and was able to get from her place to central downtown in no time (15 min I think).  The return trip on bike is a bit more difficult as it's uphill.  I grew up in Austin and can vouch that this is as good as it gets without being in downtown proper. Sharon is a great host and was very hospitable.  I would definitely stay here again. 
1747961,11044113,2014-03-18,3789871,Wayne,"Sharon truly was one of highlights of staying in Austin. Being away from your usually surroundings you can be unsettled. But Sharon made me feel right home from the start. Not only that she was really helpful with telling where me to go and even mapping out travel for me. Will definatly book with her again.

Thanks SHARON :)"
1747961,12303117,2014-04-28,1319404,Tim,"My short duration with Sharon couldn't have been better. The location was perfect for what I needed, and Sharon might be one of the best hosts I've experienced with airbnb. She is incredibly responsive and tried to make sure her guests have everything they need."
1747961,12502865,2014-05-04,5124702,Diane,"The house was in a REALLY nice neighborhood. The accommodations were simple and clean. The location is a very nice location. The back yard is awesome and the chickens were great about sharing their eggs...I had them every morning when I was there.

Sharon is very engaging and helpful. Her husband, Peter, was also very nice and friendly.

You have full use of the kitchen and cookware, which was great."
1747961,12960564,2014-05-15,15147206,Michele,"I am from Austin and needed a last minute room to stay for a week after experiencing a kitchen fire at home.  Sharon and Peter were so gracious to host me and my small dog.  They replied quickly to my inquiries and were very helpful.  Their home was adequately clean and accommodating.  You have access to the entire house, including the kitchen.  The side benefit of eating fresh organic eggs from their chickens was great!  Sharon also shared with me her secrets for making her own kombucha tea, and I got to enjoy some of that yummy tea during my stay at her home.  She even offered to give me some culture to make my own tea.  Sharon is so personable and full of interesting things to talk about.  We will remain in contact for many years after my wonderful experience of staying at Sharon's home.  I am so happy to have stumbled upon Sharon and Peter during my unfortunate crisis."
1747961,13264221,2014-05-23,15743116,Katie,Sharon was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating. She has a lovely home which is very close to Barton Springs. It was the perfect fit for my impromptu trip to Austin!
1747961,13445013,2014-05-27,2845336,Stephany,"Sharon was great! So very thoughtful and nice, if you want to stay in Austin and get the true Austinite feel, this is where you should stay. The location was perfect to downtown and soco, great locations. And all the 'egg' talk I hear about prior to book was true! Her chickens are great and she offered us a dozen of beautiful fresh eggs for me to take to my mom. They were delicious. Sharon also graciously upgraded our room to a nice room with the view to her spacious backyard. Thanks Sharon!"
1747961,13712605,2014-06-02,15730409,Mack,Awesome host!
1747961,14052712,2014-06-10,3004799,Krystal,"Overall I had a fine experience at this place. I think the description section should state that other rooms are also rented out. I believe that 3-4 other people were renting other rooms and this definitely contributed to bathroom congestion and noise at all hours (really late and really early). Also, I wasn't in the room that is shown. Parking was a bit messy with so many guests staying at the same time. I was also a little worried that my bedroom door didn't lock. Not necessarily for my safety but for what I left in my room when I left for the day. I also did have two things taken out of the communal bathroom, but I guess it's my fault for leaving my hair oil and mascara in there. But despite all of these issues- the overall experience was fine. I always travel with ear plugs, am pretty low maintenance, and spent a lot of time out and about for work. The bed and pillows were comfy, it's a cute home and it's in a nice location. "
1747961,15475035,2014-07-09,1566418,Gerry,"Sharon and Peter were very congenial hosts. The house felt comfortable and full of everything you need. Homemade kombucha, the chickens in the backyard, the orange butterflies that are swirling all over the flowers in the gardens, the other guests who were interesting and nice, and the peace and quiet with the surroundings is what made this stay for me exceptional. As a writer, I needed a sanctuary-type setting and Sharon's place is precisely that. Plus, she is an honest and wonderful person."
1747961,15521256,2014-07-10,16481795,Petr,"Wonderful host! Comfortable, clean and enjoyable atmosphere and a great price!"
1747961,16786520,2014-08-02,5709145,Jenny,"My stay at Sharon and Peter's was a joy. They have a lovely home and yard high in the hills of Austin in a nice neighborhood. Though there were shared bathrooms, I never had difficulty finding an empty one (there were two), and having a guest refrigerator was a nice bonus. They were very helpful but at the same time respectful of my privacy. A nice location for a nice price. "
1747961,16952593,2014-08-04,18902125,Dasha,"A very tranquil spot only fifteen minutes from Austin, I greatly enjoyed my time at Sharon's home. I ate eggs from her chickens that she keeps in her backyard, saw deer, and basked in the beauty of the surrounding area. 
Sharon is a very accommodating and friendly host. I had a situation where I thought I had to leave early, and she was very understanding about the whole thing and was very laid back. She is pretty easy to reach via phone and always willing to answer any questions. My room was a cozy area with a full (comfy!) bed, desk, and a rack where one can hang their clothes. My opinion is that it's really only ideal for one person, as it is a pretty small room. When I was there there were other guests, but they were quiet and cordial. There is one bathroom that everyone shares and it was clean anytime I used it. 
The house isn't too far away from downtown. 
It's about fifteen minutes away by car and there is a bus stop that is about ten minutes away that can take you downtown, Zilker Park/Barton Springs, or to the nearby mall. 
I loved my time at Sharon's home and hope I can come back soon. "
1747961,17012327,2014-08-05,18499556,Rahshemah,Sharon was nice by providing all the info I would need before my travel. The room was  nice. The backyard gorgeous! Location was near where I wanted to be.  I did not use the room or facilities long. I would go again if I am in the area.
1747961,17250281,2014-08-09,19448919,Isaac,Sharon is a friendly and gracious host who takes great care of her house and her guests.  I hope I can stay with her again when I come to Austin next time.
1747961,18946641,2014-09-03,15177365,Melissa,I enjoyed my stay at Sharon's house. It was comfortable and clean. Sharon was very kind and hospitable. The house is located in a great location and close to a lot of fun things in Austin! 
1747961,19381761,2014-09-11,4445773,Isabella,"Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit bei Sharon. Angefangen von der fantastischen Natur ringsum, über das superbequeme Bett bis hin zu der vertrauensvollen und großzügigen Gastfreundschaft und Hilfsbereitschaft von Sharon! Für uns hat es perfekt gepasst. Wir haben sogar ein besseres Zimmer bekommen als wir reserviert hatten – ganz ohne Aufpreis zu zahlen! Sharon ist sehr großzügig!! Nur die Distanz zur City ist bei längeren Aufenthalt zu beachten, da empfehlen wir einen Mietwagen! Denn die Busse so weit draußen fahren leider nicht so häufig und die Taxifahrten sind auf Dauer zu teuer ..."
1747961,19631500,2014-09-15,16897685,Arnold,The owners were very gracious hosts and even drove me to a restaurant so I wouldn't have to walk in the rain. The room was comfortable. The tree lined neighborhood is quiet and within walking distance of a few restaurants and supermarkets. I was surprised to see deer in a neighbor's front yard while on a morning stroll. It was interesting to talk with the other guests. I'll be back.
1747961,21098720,2014-10-11,9319760,Jacob,"Sharon was a very gracious host. The neighborhood is very quiet, dark and suburban. It can be a bit tricky for the pedestrian as many areas lacked sidewalks - but I got to Zilker in time for ACL so it was a success."
1747961,21275595,2014-10-14,14603601,Lauren,Sharon and her husband were both extremely kind and welcoming. Sharon was very knowledgeable about the area and was happy to make recommendations or point us in the right direction. Sadly I had a family emergency and had to leave early but I really enjoyed my stay at Sharon's lovely home!
1747961,22067277,2014-10-29,20055331,Marcus,Wow! What can I say!?! I got a new family in Austin! Most splendid! Most terrific! Hop skip & jump to downtown.
1747961,22369456,2014-11-04,15190816,Renato,Sharon was a great host. I was there for a weekend and she was responsive if I needed anything.
1747961,22579204,2014-11-10,8996157,Emily,"My favorite part about staying at Sharon's was the location. I was attending a festival downtown and used a variety of transportation methods, bike, car and on foot/bus. Parking was good, access to the bus was easy and it was close enough to downtown that biking was convenient. There is a wonderful bike trail closeby that goes along the river that I used to get downtown. The neighborhood is very nice although at night, it is very dark. I would recommend taking a flashlight if you are going to be looking for the house after dark. There is a very nice shopping center within a 10-15 minute walk with a flagship Randall's, bagel place, Jason's deli, many other businesses. That is where the bus stop is. Trader Joe's is closeby too. Upon my arrival, Sharon was very helpful in telling me where things were and filling me in on who the other guests were at the time and orienting me to the house. There was a little confusion on the room I rented when I arrived. The picture I kept getting on my notifications ended up being a different than what I actually rented. It ended up being OK but I think I might have preferred the one in the picture. All in all, I was happy with my choice"
1747961,24799446,2015-01-02,18353137,Tiffany,It's always a pleasure to stay with Sharon! 
1747961,24987603,2015-01-04,25265534,Hena,Sharon was very sweet in welcoming my boyfriend and me into her wonderful house. The neighborhood was beautiful and overall a great experience!
1747961,25384309,2015-01-14,24161796,Dominic,"Sharon was so warm and inviting!  I'm so glad I booked my trip with her.  Her place is in such a beautiful location and very close to so many nearby attractions, including Zilker Park, downtown, and UT.  I would gladly recommend anyone to stay with Sharon on any future trips to ATX and gorgeous Hill Country.  Also, she was very helpful and was there to give great advice, plus she let me book another night without any issues.  Thanks so much!!

"
1747961,25478574,2015-01-17,24862983,Vera,I really enjoyed staying here and Sharon was very accommodating and friendly. Bed was comfy and house was clean. 
1747961,26232708,2015-02-07,25132495,Giovanni,"Had a pleasant 4 day stay. The space, room and amenities were as described and enjoyed the quick access (via car) to and from my planned (and unplanned) destinations. It is my first visit to Austin and enjoyed my time. Sharon and I spoke about the area and offered some great spots to visit. She is very responsive to texts/calls and followed up to see how my stay is going.  I would certainly book future stays with Sharon and may check out her San Antonio Bnb's as well. Thanks Sharon for being a generous and kind Host. "
1747961,26550930,2015-02-15,6546578,Mark,Sharon's home is affordable and as described in the offering.
1747961,26663855,2015-02-16,27017008,Benjamin,"Despite only staying on Valentines Day, Sharon made my girlfriend and I feel very welcomed! The room was exactly as it was described. Her place is in a very convenient location if you are showing up for an event anywhere in Austin. There's a huge reminder about the location in her backyard; hey, you are in Texas Hill Country! In other words, Sharon is an excellent host; she made my first airbnb experience a very pleasant one! "
1747961,27294132,2015-03-01,28030249,Spencer,"The location of this place is a perfect home base for exploring Austin. Traveling to and from the attractions that we visited were minimal. It is also convenient that there is a bus stop nearby that will take you to 6th street. Sharon is also very accommodating and easy to get a hold of if you have any questions or concerns. Overall, I recommend staying here if you'd like to have a great spot to stay that's close to many attractions in Austin."
1747961,27416763,2015-03-03,28005901,Peter,I had a nice time in Austin. Sharon was a good host 
1747961,27564377,2015-03-07,26578038,Brendan,"Sharon and Petr were great hosts. Their home was very nice and comfortable and the neighborhood could hardly have been any nicer. They upgraded my room at no costs because someone decided to extend their stay in the one I had originally booked, and they were very accommodating with allowing me to extend my stay an extra night as well. They even provided fresh eggs that came from their chickens right outside the back door, so that was a much appreciated added touch. Overall a great experience."
1747961,28720357,2015-03-29,28253212,Kara,"I had a great experience at Sharon's! The place was very clean, quiet, and lovely! The neighborhood is beautiful, and Sharon was very helpful in describing the different places in Austin, and she suggested some places to visit as well! She sat down and showed me a map of the city, and gave very clear directions. Her husband is also very nice and he also had some suggestions for activities in Austin!  Great experience!"
1747961,29473995,2015-04-07,10239141,Jonathan,"The house is in a nice neighbourhood. 
Sharon was friendly and helpful. 
She explained very well where to find what in Austin, and she had good recommendations! 
Be sure to ask her for a quick overview over the city, it helps a lot with orientation!"
1747961,30030357,2015-04-16,1488702,Pierluigi,"Great experience, Sharon picked me up from downtown on my arrival in Austin and printed out bus route/timetable to airport on day of departure.

On the night I arrived I was treated to bbq'd chicken and a delicious salad.

Room is nice and clean and bed extremely comfortable, bathroom is big and is shared with one or two other guests. 

Sharon and Petr are two terrific hosts, on my arrival they took me on a quick tour of their neighbourhood, showed me were the bus stop and the closest shopping mall was (10 minutes' walk from the house) while telling me a little about Austin and also about their personal backgrounds.

All throughout my stay they made me feel completely at home, each in their own special way. Grazie! Děkuju! "

1747961,33113115,2015-05-25,17382388,Caroline,Sharon was an amazing host! The rooms were nice and she even let us have a room that was better suited for us for no extra charge! :) We had a great time getting to know her and her family. We especially enjoyed drinking hot chocolate and smoothies while chatting about our lives and travels! We hope to be back in Austin soon so we can stay with her again. 
1747961,34265542,2015-06-06,10722298,Hanlin,"Sharon is such a great host, she accepted my last minute request, and waited for me to arrived. She also walked me through all the places in city on map, which is very helpful since I'm only staying for one day and haven't got a chance to do research.  The house is very beautiful and conveniently located near the central  area. I would recommend anyone who visits Austin to stay at her place."
1747961,34391938,2015-06-07,17660037,Martha,"Sharon communicated well. We didn't end up staying at her place, but the experience with our host was a good one."

She accommodated my last minute request and kindly greeted me when I arrived, showed me my room and the common areas of the house, and even helped me look up a bus route for that evening.  I would stay with her again, it was a good experience.  "
1747961,39894089,2015-07-26,18353137,Tiffany,Sharon is always an amazing host! I stay with her every chance I get. 
1747961,40865519,2015-08-02,37632669,Kelly,"Sharon made me feel very welcome. She's such a nice person and even offered me some sound advice. I really enjoyed her place, especially because of the location. The backyard reminds me of the Shire...lucious greenery, a hammock, and a chicken. There was also a doe and her baby deer next door. It's kind of hidden in a very woody neighborhood. It was great! "
1747961,42694291,2015-08-15,8528037,Brian,"I had a great experience staying with Sharon. She was welcoming, knowledgable of the area, and very accommodating. This room is in the perfect location of the city -- just a 5 minute bike ride to Zilker Park which has tons of fun things to do. 

I have recommended Sharon as a host to several friends considering a visit to Austin."
1747961,46498192,2015-09-11,12544395,Sarah,"Sharon was an amazing host! Her place was clean and organized. She was very helpful with information abot the city.

1747961,46844624,2015-09-13,43831184,Crystal,"My birthday in Austin was awesome! Sharon was such a wonderful host. We were late to arrive and she was extremely patient and welcoming. She rents out other rooms so there are a mix of long term tenants and tourists such as ourselves. It was my birthday and I was greeted with flowers in my room and even a lava cake(even though I forgot it, it was a wonderful gesture). She even gave us a small map tour at 10pm once we got settled. She made taking the bus easy and everything was no more than 10min. Away or a $9 Uber ride. Her house was beautiful and the yard was peaceful. I would recommend this option for anyone. She had the best price and even has multiple listing for rooms so make sure you look at your options and jump on them quickly. Thank you sharon!"
1747961,47739388,2015-09-21,41803165,Alli,"Sharon was great. She made me feel really welcome and gave me a ton of information about Austin. She made great suggestions on what places to visit and the best times to go to those places. I enjoyed my stay at her home and also the company and good conversations I had with her, her friends and other guests. I cant wait to go back and stay with her again. It was a completely positive experience. If you are going to austin this is the place to stay!!! Close to a busy, the park and other hot spots. The house is in such a nice safe area, I slept really well knowing I was in a good place."
1747961,47887907,2015-09-21,44029146,Jason,Sharon was awesome!
1747961,48714353,2015-09-28,24220682,Mark,"This is my second stay with Sharon.  For me, this is definitely the place to stay in Austin.  Sharon makes sure I feel very welcome, introducing me to others staying with her, showing me around, and doing everything she can to be sure I am comfortable.  I stayed with her the last time I was in Austin, and it was a great experience.  Thus, I came back again because of her great hospitality.  "
1747961,49961065,2015-10-07,6528283,Chuck,"Sharon was there when I got to the house and was very welcoming. She showed me around the house, my room, and the kitchen."
1747961,50245112,2015-10-10,6863424,Eddie,"Sharon was a fantastic host. We got up our first morning to explore Austin. Before we went out the door, she took us to her breakfast table, laid out a map, and gave a clear, concise rundown of how to navigate Austin. It was really helpful, and her recommendations were solid (Magnolia Cafe was great!). After that, I really enjoyed getting to know her as a person—she is kind, conscientious, and fun.

Her place is just what we were looking for—comfortable and accessible, not to mention super convenient to everything in the city. I loved the backyard space and patio too. 

Thanks so much, Sharon!"

1747961,51223679,2015-10-18,46251623,Therese,"Sharon was very genuine and welcoming in an easy-going, laid-back way. The house and garden were so peaceful and quiet, just like the neighborhood. She quickly handled a shower repair and found some toothpaste for us when we needed it. The location was perfect for us and easy to find. Just like staying at a friend's house. Thanks, Sharon! "
1747961,52088286,2015-10-26,3574325,Conor,"It was a pleasure to stay with Sharon during my stay in Austin. She was a wonderful host, providing me with a vivid and detailed introduction to Austin life upon my arrival, as well as all the practical information I needed to help me get around the city. It was great to learn about her fascinating life and she was around every evening for a chat. My room, as with the house in general, was clean and very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again!    "
1747961,52387360,2015-10-28,3695100,Shanna,"Sharon took my request on very short notice. The location was very convenient and the room served my needs perfectly.

1747961,52849474,2015-11-02,35897132,Alareena,"Sharon is a smart, delightful host who provides a welcoming and comfortable home environment. The room matches the listing picture and description, and the neighborhood is like a lush hilltop forest. "
2319831,11012015,2014-03-17,12156531,Robert,We could not have asked for a better experience. Kim understated everything in the description of her place. We had a great time and would definitely would stay with Kim again. Cool spot and a great host!
2319831,11294161,2014-03-28,5009265,Liisa,"Kim is a delight - she seems pretty busy but made sure to recommend a great place to rent a kayak on Lady Bird Lake!  The bedroom is lovely, spacious and clean.  Her house over all is also very clean, and so cute.  It feels like a retreat even though you're so close to downtown.  Huge bathroom, stocked with everything in case you forgot something.  Daisy Dog was super sweet to me, and so well-behaved - she didn't even try to go into the guest room once.  Delicious coffee available in the house in the AM, or a mile walk to Bennu Coffee for 24 hour eats too.  The other huge advantage of this location is that it's walking distance to the Skylark Lounge - one of my Austin favs!  My only regret is I didn't get a chance to borrow the bike and ride it around town!"
2319831,16766693,2014-08-02,14055795,Elias,"Kim offered me a place to stay during a summer internship - her home was just that, a home away from home. She and Daisy (her adorable dog) significantly brightened my summer, and the experience was an extremely positive introduction to Airbnb. Kim offered great advice for things to do in the area, and made me extremely welcome. I'll definitely be coming back, if I'm ever headed out to Texas again!"
2319831,19604555,2014-09-15,1761392,Rachel,"Kim's place was the best place I could have chosen for a temporary stay in Austin. The house is conveniently located near downtown, grocery stores, and the popular east side bar/restaurant scene. Not only was the location and house great, the host herself really made my first month in Austin enjoyable! Kim was extremely accommodating, welcoming, and just an overall great person to sit back and chat with when you wanted to have some downtime at the house. And of course, her dog daisy was of the utmost pleasure as well. :) wonderful place, wonderful host! "
2319831,20314252,2014-09-27,5917477,Puck,"Kim is a wonderful host, nice to talk to, helpful and considerate. Her home is charming as is her cute dog. She went out of her way to make me and fellow guest welcome - taking us to local supermarket, let us lend her bikes, giving us bike mats, and providing some nice breakfast staples.  Two things to keep in mind: there is no TV and you must rely on bike or car to get into town. (Not sure about public transport). This was a great experience."
2319831,21468662,2014-10-18,20870966,Rebecca,"Kim was very welcoming, and her place is exactly as described and pictured. She did a great job communicating with me in advance of my stay. Her house is very charming, everything is very clean. Easy access to public transportation. I had a great stay here! "
2319831,22002457,2014-10-27,7724649,Tom,"This is a lovely place to stay, very clean and bright. Kim is cheerful and thoughtful. The neighborhood is close to public transportation and five minutes from the heart of things. Highly recommended!"
2319831,22316235,2014-11-03,22216508,Greg,"This was my first AirBnB experience and my first visit to Austin. I was there for the U.S. F1 Grand Prix during Halloween weekend, so Austin was going nuts and could have been a real hassle. But Kim's place made for a wonderfully convenient, comfortable and laid-back  stay. The bright, spacious bungalow is located in a quirky Austin family neighborhood near a stop on the excellent Metro line into downtown. If you (wisely) choose to avoid driving, getting into and around town is pretty easy.
Kim is super sharp and a pleasure to talk to on any subject you can imagine, and amazingly knowledgable about great places to eat, drink and have fun. I joined friends at several of her recommendations, but I'll need to go back for a week to check them all out."
2319831,22716438,2014-11-12,2108361,Sara,"We had a wonderful stay at Kim's house. It was clean, comfortable, and homey. She was super helpful with suggestions of neighborhoods to see and things to do. Her house is a ~15 minute bike ride from the city center, and even closer to all the nice bike paths around the river, so it was the perfect home-base for our stay. If I come back to Austin I'd definitely stay with her again!"
2319831,23026985,2014-11-20,23224447,Herb,"Kim, thank you so much for hosting me. I had a great time getting to know you. Your house is exactly as it looks in your photos clean organized and inviting. The Mexican restaurant was outstanding. Thanks again for a great stay."
2319831,27366372,2015-03-02,28173417,Theodore,"Kim was very friendly and a great host.  She always left the front porch light on at night when she knew I was still out, and she even took me to the grocery store the day I arrived.  She was very accommodating and let me use kitchen (including refrigerator), washing machine, dryer, iron, and ironing board.  The house is located in a good neighborhood and the room was cozy and comfortable.  I had my own bathroom.  I really liked the shower, it had good water pressure and a very nice shower head.     "
2319831,27834198,2015-03-13,26736504,Dane,"Prior to arriving, Kim communicated well with us to arrange our arrival. Her house was nestled in the growing east side neighborhood where we felt very safe. We were greeted by her and her sweet dog, Daisy. She gave us the rundown on the house and provided a wonderfully helpful folder with everything we might need to know during our stay. She is full of great tips for making your stay as great as possible. Her home was very clean and cute inside and we loved how active and alive the whole place felt. The bed was very comfortable, way better than any hotel bed. The tea and coffee were also a wonderful start and end to our days with Kim & Daisy. The bicycles were an awesome addition to our stay and we spent over 8 hours on them exploring the city. We retuned to the house to find Daisy on her side of the couch happy to have her guests. Our first AirbNb experience could not have been more enjoyable.
"
2319831,28158813,2015-03-19,1602642,Kim,"Kim' place was perfect for what I was looking for - a home away from home to relax in each day after a day at SXSW. It's cosy, clean and welcoming. The shower's great, the bed comfy, and the neighbourhood is cute and quiet. Location-wise it's about a 10min bus or train ride to downtown, although to be honest I generally got an Uber - super easy to do and friendly drivers. Overall, had a great time. Thanks Kim!"
2319831,28385002,2015-03-23,1568530,Pamela,"My husband and I were in town for SXSW, so we weren't in the house much but Kim's place was great. Nice clean, cozy room. We didn't actually see Kim much as our schedules conflicted, but we had everything we needed and she was always quick to respond to emails/texts. Oh, and her dog is awesome, too!  Highly recommended!"
2319831,43082963,2015-08-17,1346895,Gustav,"Kim played an instrumental role in my relocation to Austin. She was an excellent host, welcoming, inclusive, energetic, and I would recommend her to others looking for a great spot to stay short or long term in Austin. The location is perfect for anyone looking for a temporary base to get around the city. The space is clean, well appointed, comfortable, spacious, and her dog Daisy will become your best friend. 

I used Kim's house as a base for a month, and the commute downtown is very simple, with easy access to public transport (bus, light rail) a short walk away and only a $7-ish ride via Lyft and Uber. Aside from downtown, all other points in the city are easily reachable.

Thanks again Kim!

1414238,6965201,2013-09-01,7728530,Natalie,"Rechelle's home is a wonderful place to stay.  She was very welcoming, prepared space for me to put things in the bathroom and kitchen, neat, considerate and kind in every moment.  My cat stayed there as well, and she was equally accommodating to him!  
The sounds and smells made the experience extremely peaceful.  

If you're used to 68 degree room temperatures, you might not find it as pleasant during Austin's summer months.  This is certainly an environmentally conscious household - not for everyone, but it's not like ""roughing it.""  There is wifi, after all.  

I very much enjoyed my stay and Rechelle's pleasant energy, and I highly recommend her as a hostess."
1414238,7740338,2013-10-01,1845324,Alexander,"Rechelle is a great lady; a kind woman and a steward of the Earth. Her home is an environmentally conscious, clean and pretty place. I spent an entire month there, and was comfortable and pleased. It was a warm, friendly welcome to South Austin. :-) "
1414238,8680166,2013-11-11,5020067,Carol,A small utilitarian room with a comfortable futon and plenty of storage space. The place is small but functional. My only issue is the neighborhood is not convenient in terms of location and accessing freeways. Rechelle is an accommodating host and interesting person. I enjoyed my brief stay very much. 
1414238,12357310,2014-04-29,9600878,Tom,It was a refreshing stay.
1414238,13824876,2014-06-05,3723041,Ron,Rechelle is a wonderful and accommodating host. I enjoyed my stay there and the house is located close to the city bus lines. Very easy to get around Austin.
1414238,15410149,2014-07-08,16401512,Mitchel,"I moved to Austin and decided to use Airbnb for the first month to give myself time to become acquainted with the area before signing a lease, and Rechelle was a splendid hostess. The room was larger than advertised - certainly more spacious than I needed - quite clean, and pleasantly sunny (with three tall windows). Her description of the place and amenities is spot-on, although in my opinion she could add 'Free parking on premises' as there was never a lack of ample parking on the street.

The location was wonderful in my opinion; barely over 5 miles to downtown Austin, making it simple to drive or bike (if you're used to the heat!) to a plethora of interesting places in no time at all. My overall experience was superb, and I highly recommend staying with Rechelle to future Airbnb travelers reading this."
7989817,50524182,2015-10-12,41054393,Pete,"Cathy was an excellent host. We went to ACL for the weekend, and her place was so close to Zilker Park. An awesome host. Her place was cozy for two nights stay. Very clean and shower was good. Just as described! "
2305031,11007535,2014-03-17,9216205,Mark,"The place was really clean and exactly as described. Lauren was awesome to deal with and left us lots of snacks, drinks and toiletries.. I felt like I was staying at my sisters place. If I was in Austin again I would stay here!  "
2305031,13426210,2014-05-27,11822240,Marion,The house was very nice and comfortable. Lauren was very accommodating and the neighborhood was very close to downtown.
2305031,28229369,2015-03-20,14446448,Roger,"The house and room were great and exactly what you see in the pictures. It was a comfortable place to come back to after being out and on my feet all day. The bus stops right around the corner too so I didn't have to walk far. Large, modern washer and dryer were available if needed. Lauren was a great host. We had a problem when I first got there but she took care of it very quickly and I was on my way to seeing Austin. She left snacks, fruit, and toiletries and was easy to reach for questions. Her dog is also very sweet and friendly."
2305031,28347024,2015-03-22,9586543,Mary,"We didn't get to meet Lauren, but she was very responsive via text and made sure we had everything we needed! Her place was comfortable and easy to find (only a $13 cab/uber ride from downtown!). She also provided a list with her recs of places to go and eat. We didn't use it since we lived in Austin before, but I can see it being useful for folks there for the first time. "
2305031,49695949,2015-10-05,42324538,Brian,Lauren was a great host. All of the pictures are accurate and it was exactly what we needed. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean. She had a welcome letter for us when we arrived and fresh clean towels laid out on the bed. The location was great. Only about 2 miles from Rainey and 6th.
2305031,50490469,2015-10-12,43830723,Joshua,"This was my and my friend's first time using Air BnB and the experience was nothing less than exceptional. I was fortunate to meet Lauren and her roommate and both were fabulous. The house is exactly as listed and just a couple of miles away from downtown. Also it sits on a very tall hill which was great to run up every morning for a good leg workout! I honestly do not have one thing negative to say about my first Air BnB experience. I 1000% recommend Lauren's listing for your next trip to Austin! 

-Joshua T. "
2390894,10906942,2014-03-12,314255,Mary,"A coworker and I stayed here for South By Southwest Interactive, and we loved our stay. The house is really cute and comfy, and we each had our own bedroom and shared the common areas (living room, kitchen, bathroom, utility room with washer and dryer). The location in South Austin is good -- near several great restaurants and just a few miles from downtown. There's a CVS next door that was really convenient for snacks and stuff we forgot. We had no issues with the train noise, and I'm a pretty light sleeper. If needed, though, Nick had left us earplugs!

I can't say enough nice things about Nick as a host. He was very helpful and communicative from the start, and included all kinds of great touches: a custom Google Map of the neighborhood with places we might like to eat, a bottle of wine, mini toiletries in the bathroom, even a coloring book on the table for doodling in. He has a wonderful home he's taken great care of, and transfers the same care to his guests.

You'll be glad you stayed here! "
2390894,11773457,2014-04-14,13526168,Kara,"A couple of girlfriends and I stayed at Nicholas' place for a long weekend and it was wonderful. The house was very clean and in a great location-only a 10 minute cab to downtown. We very much enjoyed having some outdoor space, especially the front porch, where we were able to sip on some wine and relax before heading downtown. 

Nicholas was a fantastic host. We arrived pretty late and awaiting us was a very kind note, bottle of wine and chips with salsa. It was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful! 

Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay at the Bungalow again. "
2390894,12025462,2014-04-21,14103509,Jack,"With the goal of checking out the city of Austin, our stay here couldn't have been better! Right off of S. Lamar, this location was perfect for getting anywhere quickly. The place itself is beautiful inside and out. Nick pays a lot of attention to detail, and keeps the place nicely and efficiently appointed. He greeted us upon arrival with some great tips for what to see and do, and the Google Map he shares with guests is a great resource to get started exploring the neighborhood. The front porch (with swing) is a great place to chill in the late afternoons. We'd happily come back here next time!"
2390894,12297690,2014-04-28,1670733,Maja,"Words can't even describe how wonderful Nick and his home is! Beautiful design and decoration, extremely clean and comfortable, and don't get me started on the beds and pillows! Nick was extremely accomodating and made me feel comfortable and at home. His place is one of the best, if not THE best, I have stayed in, and that says a lot! I will definitely be staying at Nick's next time I'm in Austin, even if I have friends to stay with...he is such a great host! Thank you Nick!!!"
2390894,12663494,2014-05-07,1105446,Clinton,"Nicholas responded quickly to my initial inquiry into his listing and availability.
He continued to exceed expectations while communicating up until when we arrived.

The bungalow exceeded our expectations in many ways. It was clean and uncluttered, which gave it the feel of a nice BnB complete with a private living room.  The front porch had a nice bench swing and the backyard was spacious and sunny.  The beds were comfortable and the rooms were quiet with ample shading, mirrors, night stands.  Nicholas even left a nice treat for our arrival.

The neighborhood was peaceful and conveniently located next to a CVS, bus stop, and down the street from a local brewery.  

Overall, I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin. I have nothing negative to say about our experience here."
2390894,13435694,2014-05-27,13536351,Miriam,We stayed with Nick two weekends in a row and will come back to his gorgeous house on any trip we take to Austin. I highly recommend his home and he is a terrific host. 
2390894,13753712,2014-06-03,13536351,Miriam,"Nick is the quintessential host. He was so helpful from the booking process to a custom designed Google map of the neighbourhood attractions. The Austin Bungalow has a serene energy that is wholly a reflection of Nick's attention to detail. Two large airy bedrooms: clean, well equipped with high end products, luxuries at every turn.  We stayed two weekends in a row and could not wait to return the second time.  We even had the pleasure of meeting Nick. He and his home are a delight. Thank you Nick!!!"
2390894,15349408,2014-07-07,6681591,Dan,"Nick was great, his place is one of the nicest we've stayed in.  The neighborhood is full of things to do and a quick bus, cab, or uber ride to anywhere in the city.  This was our first time in Austin and we really enjoyed ourselves."
2390894,16794225,2014-08-02,18146517,Xavier,Very nice bungalow in a nice and central location. You have nice restaurants and bars within walking distance. Nick is a very attentive and friendly host. A place to recommend!
2390894,20235367,2014-09-26,17708125,Seth,We had a wonderful stay at Nick's home. Nick was very accommodating and was there to walk us through the house and show us around. The home was very clean and had everything we needed for our lengthy stay. The location was perfect for us and there were a lot of great places nearby to hangout and grab essentials. Nick was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. 
2390894,21199943,2014-10-13,8714904,Jennifer,Nick was such an amazing host. He made us feel more than welcome in his home. When we arrived he had left snacks and beverages for us which made our day! The neighborhood was perfect. It was a short walk to Zilker Park where we were attending ACL. And there were lots of restaurants and convenience stores close by. The house itself was beautifully decorated and very clean. Nick has a true eye for design. We will definitely be looking forward to staying at the Herman House again in the future.
2390894,21616070,2014-10-20,4273191,Adam,"Amazing house and a great location. Everything was clean, new, and Nick was great with all the little touches that made our stay that much better. If you want a taste of Austin and avoid the high-rise hotels, this is definitely the place to stay. "
2390894,21929822,2014-10-26,22849815,Nick,"The listing was as described, and the experience could not have been better. The location was perfect for our trip, and when we had down time, it was conveniently located to several restaurants and bars. As my first AirBnB experience, I'm convinced that I shouldn't book a hotel ever again. Thanks for the great stay Nick!!!"
2390894,22252273,2014-11-02,10176045,Yuri,"I can't speak highly enough of Nick and his place. It's beautifully furnished and within close proximity to everything you want to do in Austin. He's super welcoming and makes you feel right at home away from home. Only draw-back is that it's located next to a train track, but that didn't bother us much. Come to Austin, stay with Nick, and you're sure to have a blast. I highly recommend it!"
2390894,22524631,2014-11-09,14977220,Leonard,Great Host!  Perfect location.  We were having our wedding and needed an extra house to prepare as the venue was right  down the street.  Nick left us a gift and a card and the house worked perfectly for us.  Thanks for everything.
2390894,24922328,2015-01-04,2664839,Jim And Rebecca,"Nicholas was a great host! He made us feel welcome right away with snacks and drinks and assurance that he would be available if we needed him. His Bungalow is clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. It is in a great location, close to restaurants, shops, etc. We enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it as a great family get-away!
Thanks, Nick, for being such a great host!"
2390894,26010186,2015-02-01,5017190,Olivia And Andre,"Nick was a wonderful host - great communication leading up to our stay and he even sent us a google map ahead of time with notable places. When we arrived, Nick met us and gave us a tour of his gorgeous cottage - his style and attention to detail was amazing. There was a bottle of wine and chips and salsa waiting for us which was such a nice touch. We enjoyed our brief chat and had the most wonderful stay here - the location is great and the house is so comfortable and the bed - wow! We would definitely return to Austin and stay here next time and look forward to staying in touch with Nick."
2390894,26262444,2015-02-08,10559295,Gracia,"¡Qué buena experiencia en el bungalow de Nick! Nos encantó pasar esos días allí. Estuvimos una pareja con nuestro hijo pequeño, que disfrutó mucho con los lápices de colores que Nick dejó a nuestra disposición, ¡y viendo pasar el tren por la calle de enfrente! La casa estaba ¡muy! bien acondicionada. ¡Todo lo necesario para cocinar y para relajarse! Incluso un tocadiscos de vinilo y un aparato de aromaterapia. El trato con Nick fue cordial y agradable. 
"
2390894,26608866,2015-02-16,11804314,Rhett,"Nick made us feel very welcome in his home. He sent a welcome email ahead of time with all the details of his place. It was very well designed, cozy and immaculate, exactly as pictured/described. He had a bottle of wine, chips & salsa waiting for us when we arrived. The location was perfect - very close to S. Congress and walking distance to S. Lamar restaurants/shops. Will definitely come back to stay again! 
"
2390894,27017182,2015-02-23,353410,Scott,"Amazing amazing amazing time in Austin for the first time with my wife, thanks in largest part to this beautiful and well located bungalow. Nick and his sweet sister (who greeted us) made us feel so at home, so comfortable, so welcomed. This was already after responding to all my questions and concerns pre-arrival, including a google map with choice spots nearby. A nice bottle of red awaited us, along with some local chips and salsa, a record collection, two ridiculously comfortable beds to choose from, hip and well-curated furniture, and cleanliness. Yes, it's near to a train track, but it really didn't bother us at all. And we had been worried about it. Location-wise, right in the middle of three of the coolest strips in Austin, South Lamar, S. 1st street, and South Congress. Ate well, drank well, slept well. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. When we come back, we'll be hitting Nick up for sure. "
2390894,29764758,2015-04-12,24499696,Lee,"Great stay! House is very cute and perfect for a visit to Austin. In a quiet, safe area, but very close to everything fun. Nicholas was very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. I would definitely come back. "
2390894,30232559,2015-04-19,27901445,Megan,"Our stay at Nick's house was perfect from start to finish. Nick took the time to get to know us as travelers and helped to customize our stay with an amazing welcome gift as well as awesome recommendations on where to eat and hike. His sister who greeted us and gave the tour was incredibly sweet, friendly and welcoming too! 

The bed I slept on was hand's down one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept on. Between the bed and the sound machine provided, I slept like a baby all weekend long!

I loved the custom map Nick created for establishments within walking distance to his house! He is extremely helpful and generous in offering his knowledge of the city! 

The location was great and we were not disturbed by the nearby train track in the least.

We had a great visit to Austin and would absolutely stay here again when returning to Austin! "
2390894,31897824,2015-05-11,20275957,Sarah,"Honestly could not have asked for a better place to stay. The house looks even better in person than in the photos, if you can believe it! Super clean, with well-stocked bathroom and kitchen with all the supplies you could possibly need, including the record player which was a great touch. Loved the layout. The linens and towels were nice. Bedrooms feature blackout curtains which was great to ensure good sleep. It was ultra comfortable & spacious enough for the four of us staying there for a three-day music festival. Very quiet despite the train & somewhat busy location. The porch is lovely as well and larger than it appears in the photo. Nobody in our group had any complaints about the place! Nick is a very kind host and interactions were effortless. Highly recommended."
2390894,33257233,2015-05-26,993331,Erika,"This was an amazing house. Nick was so hospitable, and had a bottle of wine and refreshments waiting for us. Before we arrived he sent me a google map of the area which was really helpful. 

When we arrived he came over to greet us, and is extremely kind. 

The house was extremely clean, well designed, and has central air and fans. The house is close to a fun brewery and we used car2go to get around most of the time.

I also loved the porch swing! 

If I come back to Austin, I am staying here."
2390894,34725495,2015-06-11,18747181,Mandeep,Nice cottage with all the amenities you would expect. Nick was extremely courteous and communicative. He did everything to make our stay comfortable. We will surely be renting the cottage again in near future.
2390894,46176184,2015-09-08,21573869,Stephanie,"We loved our stay at Nick’s place. We were visiting family in Austin and the location was perfect. It was centrally located and walking distance to a great brewery and several great restaurants. 

We got a chance to meet with Nick and chat with him when we first arrived. He was warm, friendly, and had some great recommendations for places to eat and drink in the area. The blackout drapes made it easy for me to sleep in, while my boyfriend woke up at sunrise to explore the neighborhood, take photos, and walk to a cute little coffee shop – Patika – to bring back coffee for those of us who were still snoozing. 

The place is clean and cozy, with a modern and stylish décor. We loved the little robot collection, blue tooth speaker, record player, porch swing, and furnishings. We left Nick’s with a list of things we’d like to add to our own home, including an aromatherapy diffuser and a dream machine (white noise machine). We did a couple loads of laundry in his very new and efficient washer and dryer. Linens were soft and plentiful. 

Overall, a great stay. We will definitely try to book Nick’s place on our next trip to Austin."
2390894,46811817,2015-09-13,11300394,Matt,"Nicholas was a great host and this house was as nice as it looks in the pictures. Lots of natural light, a record collection with nice speakers was great way to start the day. Beds & Bedding were very comfortable and the essential oils diffuser was a great touch to wind down the day. I also have a new chip and salsa obsession, thanks for that Nicholas!

We brought our 2 Great Dane's and this was perfect pet friendly accommodation for them, which is hard to find. The house was a sub $10 Uber to all downtown destinations and there is plenty to do right off S. Lamar and S. Congress nearby. I would absolutely recommend this Bungalow for a weekend getaway nearby everything fun but a bit outside all the action."
2390894,48111889,2015-09-23,7252913,Robert,Nick was a fantastic host and his place is awesome. It was close to everything and had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. We plan on staying here next time!
2390894,50313686,2015-10-11,4375441,Laura,"My husband and I travel to Austin every October for ACL.  We stayed here for one week and had an amazing time!  Nick was a wonderful host, and the place is awesome - it's beautifully decorated, spacious, full of natural light, and the location is in a safe neighborhood that is central to everything.  Between the super comfy bed, blackout shades, and sound machine, we had the best sleep we've had in a long time!  Nick was very helpful even before check-in - sending info including a personalized google map of the area, and a nice bottle of wine and local chips and salsa were awaiting us upon our arrival.  We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.  Thanks again for being such an awesome host!"
2390894,51132350,2015-10-18,14933060,Cherisse,"We stayed at Nicholas' bungalow for a wedding in October and I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place!  This house is so charming and comfortable and made us feel right at home when we walked in.   Nicholas was very helpful and proactive, reaching out to us before our stay to provide a custom map of the area and reinforce his commitment to making our stay as pleasant as possible.  We slept so well on the super comfortable beds and it was very easy to get to downtown via uber or to just walk to any of the number of cute restaurants and stores that are close by.  To top it all off there was a bottle of wine and some chips and salsa waiting out for us when we arrived!

5 stars doesn't do it justice.  Nicholas has got a great spot that I cannot recommend enough.  Will definitely stay again in the future! "
2390894,51916649,2015-10-25,32494205,Jessika,"Can not say enough good things about this home and Nick! To start, we were welcomed with a delicious bottle of wine and chips/salsa. The house was spotless and very well decorated. The location was perfect. Within walking distance to a few great restaurants and a 24 hour CVS for emergencies. It was also centrally located to visiting everything south Austin has to offer via a short taxi/Uber ride. Next time I am in Austin, I will 100% stay here again!"
4449275,30124594,2015-04-18,10486135,Barbara,"Great house, very clean, comfortable and in a very convenient location. Cindy responded very quickly and gave us very helpful suggestions about things to do, places to eat."
4449275,36835740,2015-07-01,27529577,Traci,"Cindy, was very accommodating with our check in and check out. Pictures were exactly as pictured. Nice neighborhood, close proximity to grocery store and coffee shop. Cindy was only a text or phone call away when something came up."
4449275,45927906,2015-09-07,30235450,Dawn,"I rented this house to accommodate my family for my Daughter's wedding this Labor Day weekend. Eight of us stayed there very comfortably. Everyone loved the house! It was casual and comfortable and great for lounging around or entertaining! It was very clean and Cindy had all the bath, laundry, and dish necessities available, which is a plus and definitely not expected. Everyone said that their beds were comfortable. My favorite thing about the house was the master suite! The shower was really big with double shower heads! Cindy was very accommodating and was very sweet to allow the family to trickle in and out at different times as we were coming in and leaving on flights from all over the country. I would definitely recommend this house to others and would stay there again on a trip back to Austin. Thanks Cindy! "
4449275,47659144,2015-09-21,38196846,Pam,"This house was the perfect amount of space for our group of 7.  It's nicely updated and was very comfortable for all of us.  The layout was awesome -- pretty open, with a good living room area for lounging and watching tv, updated kitchen and large dining table, which for us served as the perfect board-game table.  The lighting is a little dim in the dining area and upstairs bathroom, the water pressure could have been better and the faucets in one of the downstairs bathrooms was a little loose rendering cold showers, but aside from that, it was overall a great place for us.  While it's in a quiet residential neighborhood, it's a quick Uber ride downtown and to UT (if going for sporting events).  There's also an awesome gas station with an amazing selection of beverages a couple doors down and a great litter coffee-shop/cafe/local brews place kiddie corner to the house.  My friends found some good eats within walking distance too!  Would recommend staying here with a group or family (with a few tweaks to plumbing and lighting :))"
4737240,43387645,2015-08-19,14589982,Megan,"This house was exactly what we were looking for. We needed a spacious house for just over two weeks while we were visiting Austin. It was airy, bright and stocked with anything we could possibly need. Suzanne was very communicative, helpful and informative. We would definitely rent again!"
9007623,51873885,2015-10-24,45117340,Mariano,"Awesome host, great clean room, comfortable bed and had a basket of helpful goodies such as toothbrushes, tooth paste, towels, water, etc. better than a hotel. 10/10 would stay again."
9007623,52304481,2015-10-27,47434373,Charles,"Was a great stay! Felt very welcome and had all we could ask for, definitely recommend!"
9007623,52388150,2015-10-28,11278232,Jim,Mackenzie was very easy to communicate with- I contacted her on short notice and she got back with me right away! The bed felt very good and had a bathroom directly off the bedroom. She provided a basket full of miscellaneous items that was a great touch. I will definitely revisit when the situation calls for it.
9007623,52471647,2015-10-29,47434373,Charles,Such an amazing place and great people. I love going there and look forward to returning in the future :)
9007623,52564107,2015-10-30,18553240,Jenny,"The building and apartment was a bit difficult to find as the complex was quite big, but on the upside it was very quiet and nice. Mackenzie wasn't there to meet us when we first checked in, but was very warm helpful the next morning when we needed to find a doctor even though we had overstayed the check out time. The room was very clean and comfortable and the basket of toiletries was also a nice touch. "
9007623,52667061,2015-10-31,33410819,Mahmood,Mackenzie is a very nice and accommodating person.  She even offered me dinner.  She keeps the place clean too!
9007623,52803103,2015-11-01,5669936,Martha,"If you need a good place to stay, this is it. Mackenzie is very hospitable and accommodating. "
9007623,53236080,2015-11-06,47779091,Josh,First time using Airbnb. Great deal! Compfy bed! That's about all I can say because I checked in at 5 pm and left early in the morning. 
4572862,28129054,2015-03-18,27545100,Daniel,Susie was very welcoming and hospitable. That combined with a quiet neighborhood and clean and stylish house made for a great experience.
4572862,28384332,2015-03-23,20043780,Amanda,"Susie's home is absolutely stunning. It's apparent they are both designers because the detail they put into every nook and cranny is a dream. Located in a cute and quiet neighborhood, it's only a 10-15 minute drive from the airport and 5-10 minutes from downtown, depending on traffic. There are several convenient bus stops nearby. 

Our hosts were sleeping when we arrived late night, but there were friendly welcome notes all around the space. They even left us ponchos because there was rain in the forecast for SXSW! So thoughtful. 

The room and private bathroom are so lovely. The bedroom has a large walk-in closet to hold your suitcases with plenty of shelf and hanging space. The entire space is super clean and modern.  

It's a very short walk to all the shopping and restaurants on South Congress, and there's an amazing food truck Taco N Madre just down the block where you can get breakfast tacos and coffee in the morning. 

We had the best time during our stay and would absolutely come back again! If you're looking to get the most out of your Austin visit, this place is a best bet."
4926196,31570927,2015-05-07,27128683,Bret,"Matt and Sara are wonderful hosts. From the very beginning, they made me feel welcome in their home. I was starting a new job while house-hunting for a move to Austin. This worked out perfectly for me and a lot less expensive than a hotel or extended stay inn.

The bedroom was laid out with conveniently with desk, hangers and storage for clothes. The bathroom was very convenient, just outside the bedroom.

They also left room in the kitchen cabinet for my food, and provided me a key to allow me to come and go as I please, which was very nice since I left early and arrived late most days.

The house is on a quiet street with little traffic, too, which was nice. Only 15 minutes from downtown and close to most shopping needs.

The WiFi was fast and reliable, too, which was helpful.

If I had to do this again — a long term stay — I'd seriously consider doing it again with these fine people."
4926196,42516113,2015-08-14,31883550,Jeff,"My family lives in the Dallas area, and my 17-year-old son got a summer job in Austin. We were fortunate to find this listing for his 11-week job. My wife and & alternated staying in Austin with him. The house is in a great location, convenient to everything in south Austin as well as downtown. Matt and Sarah are great hosts and made us feel welcome. The room is comfortable, with a great bed, large closet, and nice desk. The bathroom is right next to it. We had enough cabinet and refrigerator space in the kitchen to handle our dining needs. This house worked great for a long rental period, and it would also be great for a much shorter stay. Highly recommended."
4926196,52574526,2015-10-31,39749293,Brad,"What an amazing stay I had!  Matt and Sarah are incredible hosts and genuinely nice people.  The home is awesome, located in a great neighborhood and close to everything in booming South Austin.  The room is fantastic, comfortable bed and all the amenities you'd need.  Even the pillows are great! 
  Matt is great to deal with.  He kept up with me on my plans for arrival and was at the door as I pulled up.  Cannot recommend this place high enough!"
8210658,46247313,2015-09-08,43023816,Wilmer,"The neighborhood was in a good location, conveniently located close to downtown Austin.  He left a little ""gift"" in the fridge for us, which was surprising and nice.  He also allowed for us to bring one extra guest from the limit he had set on the website."
8210658,48792060,2015-09-28,44124272,Matthew,"The size and vibe of the home was really comfortable and cozy !! You absolutely felt like you were at home, we all loved it. The beds were comfortable, Everything was very modern with a cabin feel and his hospitality was amazing!! We were at a perfect distance from downtown and congress, and uber was a huge help. So if you don't want to stay in the city but don't want to get a hotel, I would highly recommend This humble abode !! I would definitely stay here again !!! Best weekend I've had in years!!"
8210658,49749745,2015-10-05,9586322,Arun,"Matthew's house was splendid. There were 4 of us staying here and it was very spacious, yet cozy. Both the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was also very clean. I will definitely be coming back when I visit Austin again. Matthew himself was very welcoming and helpful. Also, he responded to my reservation quickly and was very communicative. "
8210658,50657989,2015-10-13,43691081,Jessica,"Myself and two others stayed at Mathew's place for four days and three nights. We were in town from Boston for ACL. It was the perfect location. Close enough to the festival that using uber was very convenient and not expensive at all. We liked being in a quieter neighborhood for after the long day of music. We conversed with Matthew and Hank (his friendly dog), Matts very personable and friendly. Overall this experience was exactly what we were looking for. The house was clean and quaint, very homey. One part of it that we really appreciated was that everything was labeled, light switches, drawers, it was awesome! We would definitely recommend this place to others and would book again if we ever came back to this area. Thanks for everything!  

- Jess, Nick, Alexis "
8210658,51543848,2015-10-21,43136866,Tyler,"Matt's place is awesome!  Everything was as it seemed or better!  He seriously has thought of everything.  The house is labeled super well so that it's easy to find your way around.  And this may sound weird, but the shower is awesome!!  You get WAY more than you pay for with this place.  We would definitely stay again!

Oh, and the outdoor toilet is awesome.  Makes for a good way to keep the house pleasant for the ladies:)"
8210658,52938547,2015-11-02,25266338,Ramy,"Casa Mateo! Amazing experience, enjoyed our stay in Austin while at Matt's place over Halloween. The house is spectacular and we felt right at home. Everything, as stated in another review, was labeled and it made for grasping things much easier. 

Matt's place is definitely a go-to spot for me next time I'm in Austin. He was very helpful, and communicative and made it clear that he would be available should we need his assistance in any way. 

The outdoor shower is great, and the barbecue provided us with amazing steaks that we grilled very late in the evening. 

All in all, 100% and I'll definitely be returning to Casa Mateo."
8919773,52022024,2015-10-25,32714686,Daniel,Enjoyed our stay...was exactly what we were looking for! Home was inviting and clean; host was extremely hospitable!

8919773,52192076,2015-10-26,47206940,Cody,Host was always available for questions!! Answered right away! Perfect
3806508,29833373,2015-04-13,28170901,David,"Great location, and a fun experience. We expected the airstream bathroom to be more usable, but it was extremely small and barely usable. The main access to the airstream required you to walk through a dirt pathway and through the front yard, not the most convenient walk when you want to use the main bathroom in the morning. "
3806508,37009492,2015-07-03,26724984,Lucas,Had a great time. Awesome location and house.

3806508,37994014,2015-07-12,34047422,Zachary,"It was wonderful! Nice and quaint and just within walking distance of Rainey. You will be sharing beds if your party is over 5, but completely adequate for a large group."
3806508,46688216,2015-09-12,17969889,Joyce,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3806508,49431601,2015-10-04,36476955,Jordan,"House was in fair condition when we arrived, just the basics. The trailer had not been cleaned since the guests before us but someone was by in a few hours to clean it up. I had my truck broken into and some property was stolen right out front of the house."
3806508,50425550,2015-10-12,13576247,Tyler,"Host was very helpful, the location was great, and the trailer was a surprisingly nice addition. The house was very clean upon arrival, and I'd recommend this place to anyone."
3806508,51126267,2015-10-18,41305373,Jacob,"Wonderful experience and easily handled and slept our large group.  The place was very clean when we arrived and the beds were comfy!  Kitchen had all the essentials and the camper was a great extra space for sleeping!

Everyone in my group (10 of us) had a wonderful time in Austin and the house fit us perfectly."
3976304,23198375,2014-11-24,23756640,Peggy,"Loved this place!  East Austin embodies the vibe that is Austin.  Kind of hip, funky, artsy- but doesn't try too hard.  The house is 1/2 of a duplex and it was great, very comfortable, had everything we needed, was clean, well equipped and maintained.  Excellent location was close to 6th St, music, restaurants, downtown, shopping, exercise.  Authentic Mexican food and nice coffee shops in the immediate neighborhood were exactly what we were looking for.

The street was quiet and shady green with no traffic and old bungalow style homes.  Woke up to see the neighbor's chickens cruising down the street.  The beds and pillows were comfortable, good shower and bathroom, nice sheets and towels, well equipped kitchen, relaxing spaces to hang out indoors and out.  We did not cook but the kitchen looked like it had everything on hand to do so.  Coffee maker and microwave all good, nice dishes and glassware, wine opener, ice in freezer, fridge good and cold.  We parked on the street in front of the house with no problems.  The property is an older home that has been updated, light and bright with hardwood floors, open kitchen,  has some charm and character, personality.  The decor was attractive, nice colors, fresh paint, decent furniture, art, rugs, curtains, etc.  

Hosts were outstanding, left us a sweet welcome basket.  They are long term Austin residents with the insider's scoop on where to go for everything, what was going on around town, extensive knowledge of the music scene, restaurants, bars and clubs.  They answered my messages almost immediately, very responsive to every request or question, could not have been nicer or more helpful. "

3976304,27828154,2015-03-13,1284569,David,"Erica and her husband were super attentive and very helpful in getting us squared away. We really appreciated their concern and willingness to make us feel comfortable.

All in all though, a great place and super convenient if you're looking to get into Austin but not be in the thick of downtown.

My only heads up would be that there is a train that goes by at night and the floorboards are creaky so it is easy to hear the upstairs neighbors move about. "
3976304,28379729,2015-03-23,24169352,Nicky,"Had a great time in Austin.

House was great and Erica was awesome."
3976304,28797019,2015-03-30,7420787,Lauren & Leon,"Myself and two others stayed at Erica's while visiting the city for the weekend and had such a pleasant stay. She was a very warm and accommodating host - and if you need any recommendations where to eat, Erica knows the best! 
The  beds were soft and comfortable, bathroom was great, I especially loved the kitchen that is well equipped for simple cooking. The place is well decorated and so cute giving the place a rustic vintage feel. The neighborhood is awesome, very close drive into downtown, as I took morning walks to check out the chickens doing their thing I was given warm ""waves"" by friendly neighbors. "
3976304,30307750,2015-04-20,29037853,Megan,"We loved the East Austin Hideaway! The rooms were perfectly sized for 2 couples and the queen beds were super comfy. The host left goodies for us in the fridge and texted us to make sure everything was okay or if we needed anything. The location is perfect for the airport and campus/6th street areas. We were never more than 10-15 minutes away from anything and there were so many restaurants around, we never had to go far. The host also left plenty of towels, pillows and the wifi password in a notebook with little tips and tricks for our stay. She was very thoughtful, we'd definitely stay there again. "
3976304,30762629,2015-04-27,27155357,Elisa,"Our three nights in Austin were really enjoyable. The house was exactly as it was described, and Erica was available to field any questions we had during our stay. We loved the vibrant feel of the neighborhood, though the street activity was a bit loud on a weekend nights for folks sleeping in the front bedroom. The living room stereo was an added bonus!"
3976304,31355671,2015-05-04,30808941,Brian,Very close to Springdale farm; perfect stay if attending a wedding there!  Place was nice and worked perfectly for us!
3976304,32643322,2015-05-19,33249548,Gabrielle,The candles and flowers made it feel like home. 
3976304,36533535,2015-06-29,32442318,Patricia,"Erica contacted me several times after our rental contract was arranged just to let me know that she was available to answer any questions.  As it turned out, do to an unexpected illness, I had to delay my trip and change my reservation dates.  Erica was very helpful during this process.  She assured me that her husband would meet me at the apartment when I arrived there from the airport and he was there!  He also gave me some basic information about the apt. and directions around the neighborhood.

The apartment was just perfect for my needs.  It was within walking distance of my daughter's house.  It was roomy enough for three of us when my other daughter and her husband joined me.  The kitchen was more than adequate for preparing simple meals.  We used the iron regularly and the washer and dryer twice. Also the wi-fi worked great.  There is a long driveway next to the house which provides off street parking.

The neighborhood was quiet and similar to my daughter's neighborhood.  It's a family area with small homes  all decorated uniquely with gardens, statues and pets. "
3976304,40016424,2015-07-27,5187575,Jaci,"The East Austin Hideaway was exactly as pictured on the listing. The location was perfect for our one night getaway, as it was close to all of our night time destinations. If you know Austin well, this location offers a lot of backroad options to avoid traffic on IH35. 

Erica was very flexible with our check-in time (which we truly appreciated) and communicated in a timely manner throughout the entire process. 

All in all, our stay here was delightful. "
3976304,43119609,2015-08-17,2327341,Amanda,"Erica was an excellent host! My friend and I had a wonderful time staying at her little home for 2 weeks. The house is in a great location: close to everything fun: downtown, bars, restaurants, even a small public pool that is clean and free! Great way to beat that Austin heat!

The house was clean, the beds were comfy, her neighbors were friendly and the neighborhood was quiet; which was great to come home to after a hectic day of work. 

I would definitely recommend staying at Erica's 2 bedroom home to anyone traveling to Austin for a weekend or even a couple of weeks. 
"
3976304,45112754,2015-08-31,12777534,Liz And Jeff,Erica was very friendly and welcoming.  The space was exactly as described. You can tell that they made an effort to make the space stylish and homey.  We felt at ease.
3976304,46179046,2015-09-08,4864379,Dan,Amazing stay!!! Erica and Patrick are amazing hosts. Comfy beds and cozy place. Perfect location with the best breakfast tacos just down the street at Jalapeño Joe's. Quick and easy Uber to downtown. Never waited more than 3 minutes for the car. Can't wait for our next visit and stay!  We took our dog and so did our friends. Perfect yard for the dogs to play while hanging out outside. Thank you for making our weekend perfect!!
3976304,49239709,2015-10-02,12777534,Liz And Jeff,The house was clean.  Erica communicated well.  Good parking.  We loved it.

Erica made sure to keep in touch throughout the weekend with texting, and made sure we knew she was available for any questions we might have had :) Would definitely recommend it! "
3976304,52047088,2015-10-26,8900119,Kate,"When we arrived at the East Austin Hideaway we were a little nervous about the neighbourhood. But quickly learned it is a friendly area.

Elizabeth was a great communicator and the process was easy coming and going.

The house was cute and clean. It wasn't the most walkable but a quick uber could get you wherever you're headed."
358810,1764288,2012-07-21,1378859,Csongor,"We stayed at this house for a week. When we arrived Michael was expecting us and gave us the tour and the keys. The house was impeccably clean and stocked with fresh clean towels and even some fresh food in the fridge! He seemed very knowledgeable about the city and gave us great tips. On the 2nd day, the air conditioning broke and Michael came over in under 10 minutes and fixed it right away. Excellent service, better than a fancy hotel. We will definitely consider staying at his house again in the future."
358810,2844305,2012-11-09,1324386,Ezra,"Great location, great house!"
358810,3973486,2013-04-01,4194774,Tabitha,"Michael and his brother were really nice and helpful hosts. The rooms in the house are spacious, nicely decorated, & very clean. While the living room and kitchen are a bit small, we still managed to have a little pre-party at the house before going downtown since the backyard is huge. Michael even told us we could rent a jumpy castle from the shop down the street if we wanted bc the yard is so large. =) The location is fabulous bc it is only a short walk from downtown and the river. We did have a minor problem when my friend dropped a hot coal and burned a hole in the rug when taking it out to the hookah. The host was understanding and let me compensate him directly and fairly, and didn't let this incident ruin his perception of my group. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a comfortable stay near downtown. "
358810,4827705,2013-05-28,5052219,Becca,This house is perfect for a laid back crowd not afraid of being off the beaten path. It's about a $7 cab ride to Congress/6th St etc and there is a coffee shop (Cenote) within walking distance. The neighborhood is quite 'eclectic' and the house is simple. Having keypad entry is great for a large group. Having a car is a must. The accommodations are simple but get the job done! 
358810,7510247,2013-09-23,6772781,Ben,"What an amazing experience! We had a wedding party come in and for bigger groups, this is the perfect house. Michael made the stay so easy for us, and the house was perfect. We were walking distance to some of the best parts of the city, which is important when you don't want to drive. Michael was extremely knowledgeable about the city as well. I would give 6 stars, but it's not an option."
358810,8814181,2013-11-19,8884771,Maxime,Awesome place with a big patio. A lot of beds. Perfect for a trip with some friends. Good location (5 min cab ride to anywhere downtown). Michael was incredibly useful to help me book restaurants and find my way around the city. Thx a lot!
358810,8897251,2013-11-25,8608983,Barry,"Unfortunately,we chose one of the coldest weekends to come down to Austin for a visit, but fortunately the heat in Michael's house was more than up to the task of keeping us comfortable.  The house had plenty of relaxing sleeping options for our whole group of 8. The house was in a great location for hitting up the bars of East Austin.  We would definitely do it again over a warmer weekend to take advantage of deck and grill behind the house."
358810,11215327,2014-03-25,4742708,Alex,"10 of us stayed at Downtown Eclectic on a trip to Austin for my brother's bachelor party. We all had a great time. 

House:
First off, the house's entry is with a keypad-- which is super convenient for people coming and going. The  front and back patios are very cool - perfect for lounging, hanging out and having a good time with a bigger group. I hosted a welcome gathering in the back, and everyone was impressed with the space. The inside isn't a temple to modern design like a lot of Airbnb houses -- but that's actually an asset when you have 10 guys staying. We all felt comfortable, and the house has good amount of seating. And with 5 bedrooms, we weren't too cramped. 

Location:
The location is great. Close to cool bars / food on Rainey and East Austin, and about a 20 min walk to the madness of 6th Street. We rented cars and had enough space for 3 in the driveway. Driving from here is great-- convenient to everything. 

Host:
Michael was a great host and was very responsive the whole trip. He even delivered us a hairdryer when we couldn't find one in the house. Thanks, Michael!

Would stay at the house again, for sure. 
  "
358810,13949237,2014-06-09,10355085,Kristen,"We were happy staying at the Downtown Eclectic. It was a short walk to the convention center, had a lot of beds, and worked out well for our group. If I was doing the trip again, it would still be a fine choice. One thing I loved was the shower head coming out of the ceiling. It's like a firehose (in a good way)."
358810,14604261,2014-06-23,11551817,Jon,"Really enjoyed our stay in Austin as Michael's house was perfect for our group. With the amount of beds and couches, our group of 9 was able to sleep easy without having multiple guys in one bed. Location is great. Walking distance to Rainey Street, which seems to be the new place instead of 6th, and very close to downtown overall. Backyard has ample space for hanging out, grilling and such.
We had a small issue with the Internet/TV service but Michael being a great host got it fixed right away and was always a phone call or text away for answers or suggestions for having a good time in Austin. Would absolutely stay again if/when we return to Austin. "
358810,17359548,2014-08-11,1340361,Philip,"Michael helped provide a wonderful experience for my group. The house perfectly fit the needs of nine guys, from the spacious backyard to the comfortable (and cold!) bedrooms. The location is great and easily walkable."
358810,19137883,2014-09-07,19253674,Pat,The house was great.  We had a group of 12 people and everyone was able to sleep comfortably.  The location was perfect with easy access to 6th Street and Rainey Street.  Michael had everything setup and we were able to get the keys upon arrival.  I would definitely recommend this house to large groups.
358810,19591184,2014-09-15,16400155,John,Very welcoming host great house.
358810,22297823,2014-11-03,3839044,Joanne,Michael was great. He was very friendly and the house was as described. Neighborhood is really good too. Very close to local food places and bars. Thanks Michael
358810,24734876,2015-01-02,23752311,Donald,Great location and very comfortable accommodation. Clean and easily maintained. Good off road parking for 4 cars and loads of eating places and interesting bars within 10 minutes walk.

Highly recommended!"
358810,26920559,2015-02-22,26047492,Matt,Michael was an amazing host. The place was perfect for the group of 9. Plenty of space and very welcoming.  Very accessible to anywhere you would want to go in the city. I would recommend staying at any property of Michael's. He goes above and beyond to make sure that the stay is the best. I look forward to staying with Michael again the next time in Austin.
358810,29724563,2015-04-12,18459934,Andrew,"Michael is a great host. He was accommodating and quick to respond to questions. The house is nice and in a great location, easy walk to Rainey Street and downtown. Definitely check this spot out if you have a group going to Austin."
358810,30543966,2015-04-24,9551767,Shyanie,"Great home, easy check in. Plenty of beds so great for big groups! Only 2 bathrooms though so be aware of that. Backyard space is great for outdoor hanging out! "
358810,30761460,2015-04-27,10547138,Erica,Had an awesome weekend in Austin. The house was super convenient and centrally located to the places we went! 
358810,38917330,2015-07-19,35147278,Phillip,"The home matched and exceeded our expectations. The home had great space for hanging out in the mornings before we went out and had plenty of parking for our large group. 

The host, Michael, was friendly and helpful. He was very responsive to all my inquiries about the home and he accommodated our arrival/departure schedule.

I would highly recommend this listing to any group or family looking to stay in the heart of Austin, TX."
358810,39795588,2015-07-26,4925371,Tony,The house was awesome! Great place to stay at with interesting decor. Beds were comfortable and host was very helpful in letting us know what activities we can do. Def recommend the place!
358810,43922444,2015-08-23,4397538,David,"Another great stay at Michael's house. The place is great walking distance to Rainey St, 6th St, great BBQ (Micklethwait, Franklins, etc.), and east-side bars/cafes. Will stay again."
358810,45973014,2015-09-07,2723517,Michael,"- Not only was the place was exactly as pictured, the fridge was pre-stocked with a few beers to get us started.  Much appreciated.
- The backyard is very private and there is plenty of parking.
- You're a quick walk to downtown
- Lots of room (our group had 12)
- Plenty of mustard in case you need it
- Quick response rate 
- Great communication and easy check-in/out
- If I'm back in Austin, I'd definitely stay here again
"
358810,46953345,2015-09-14,422845,Paul,"Hands down the greatest airbnb host I've experienced. The house was great, exactly what we needed and as described and Michael went out of his way to help us with anything we needed. Cannot recommend highly enough."

865542,3780054,2013-03-14,1669176,Sawchuk,"Absolutely perfect location for SXSW. A short walk to South Congress and a five minute bus ride to the convention center made getting around a breeze. Danielle and Alex were amazing hosts and responded immediately to any questions. The house is incredibly well-appointed in a nice, quiet neighbourhood offering a great escape after a day at SXSW. Great house. Great Hosts. "
865542,9425509,2013-12-28,9963681,Tom,"This a quite nice and comfortable home, with a particularly well-eqipped kitchen. We were completely spoiled by their espresso maker!

Danielle is very easy to work with."
865542,9466000,2013-12-30,2144687,Thomas,"I booked this house for my parents over the Christmas holidays. The house is nicely appointed and the location is fantastic. The house was spotless and well organized. The beds were comfortable. 

Danielle and Alex were quick to respond to any questions and easy to work with. "
865542,11022995,2014-03-17,12222798,Cassandra,"We stayed at their place for the last weekend of SXSW, it was perfect. Quiet and relaxing, yet only A couple blocks away from all the action. Their home is a beautiful and modern and full of all the amenities you could ask for. They left instructions for check in and check out as well as use of all the conveniences their place offered. The park is a short walk, the bus stop to downtown is a block away and south congress is just a little further. Perfect location and extremely relaxing. "
865542,11765779,2014-04-14,12521769,Cathy,"My 5 friends and I just spent a great weekend in Austin and stayed at Danielle and Alex's place . We had such a great time . They were wonderful hosts . Checking in and out was a breeze even though we were coming at odd hours . We didn't meet in person but we felt very welcomed into the home and they gave us lots if info on fun things to do and good eats in the area . The house was very comfortable, clean, and modern . It easily accommodated our party . The neighborhood was cute , a quick walk to South 1st and South Congress areas and just a quick drive to other activities . Overall a wonderful trip !"
865542,12309202,2014-04-28,13970127,Samir,"Clean, spacious modern-style venue.  Hosts are helpful and very easy to work with.  Would absolutely stay there again and recommend to friends and family."
865542,20892954,2014-10-07,1189530,Helen,"I didn't get to meet Danielle and Alex, but we communicated a lot before my arrival so that I would know how to get into the house and find everything.  The house was exactly as described, and the pictures are very accurate.  In fact, I think the house exceeded my expectations.  The place was immaculate and wonderfully furnished.  They even left some food and drinks in the fridge, which they said we were welcome to have.  

They left us w/ a list of their favorite places in the area, which was helpful.  The neighborhood is great and safe.  We walked to/from Zilker Park every day for ACL, which was not extremely close, but close enough.   We never felt unsafe while walking at night.  There are tons of restaurants and bars in the area, so it's a great location.

The highlight of the house was the shower in the master bathroom.  Not to be missed!

I highly recommend Danielle and Alex's place if you're looking to stay in Austin.  The house and neighborhood are both wonderful!"
865542,21211063,2014-10-13,20659921,Cindy,"The hosts were very welcoming and easy going.  They were flexible about checkin and checkout times as well.  The house was very easy to find and in a great location; lots of great shopping and restaurants nearby.  The house was very clean and spacious, with comfortable beds and good bathrooms."
865542,22161038,2014-10-31,8184253,Ed,While I never met them they were very nice. They responded quickly and courteously to my email. They were flexible with my check in and out. They left good instructions on how everything worked. 
865542,28157800,2015-03-19,9709703,Grecia,"Really nice home, everything was good, location is great, any problem at all with the house. Danielle & Alex left all the instructions we needed, we had a really nice stay. Thank you."
8116990,47901782,2015-09-21,31191662,Miguel,"Alex was a great host. Even from long distance.  He was out of town when I stayed but he was attentive and very helpful. Maintained constant communication and made sure I was comfortable.  The house was as described.  Very welcoming.  Nicely decorated.  Their back patio area was awesome.  Just can't say enough nice things about the stay and about Alex. Also, Bobby, his neighbor stopped by and he was also very helpful and a very nice guy."
446961,1306438,2012-05-19,2374535,Ron,"Coordinating with Jeri was very easy and when we arrived the house was exactly as pictured. The location was great – close to the action, but also peaceful and quiet. The space is very cool. The kitchen is awesome and the upstairs master has the feel of a being in a tree house. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Austin. The Wi-Fi access was great and let us plan our trip on the go. There is a great deck and yard out that is very private. I love east Austin, it's a great part of town to explore and this is the perfect place to do it from. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat."
446961,1323501,2012-05-21,2385004,Gracie,Jeri's home was perfect.  Beautiful inside and out.  Highly recommend it if you're ever in Austin.
446961,1379884,2012-05-29,2455825,Dawn,"My family and I stayed at Jeri's home for the Memorial Day weekend and had a wonderful time.  Her home is warm and comfortable.  She greeted us with smile, snacks and sodas.  It was within walking distance of a grocery store and a wonderful neighborhood coffeehouse/cafe.  The house itself has 3 comfortable rooms and a fold out bed of which I was  a bit skeptical but once you put on the pillow top it is a really comfy place to sleep.   The six of us had plenty of room.  We particularly enjoyed Jeri's photographs and artwork."
446961,1735680,2012-07-17,2729190,Sonia,This was a perfect quiet quaint house in a fantastic location.  Jeri has everything you could possibly need and then some.  The house comfortably sleeps 8 people. The back patio and yard were a perfect respite between activities.  We are so happy we will definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin.
446961,10899794,2014-03-12,8142727,Helen,"A great house, full of vintage charm and cozily decorated, in an adorable neighborhood! The house is about 20 minutes from downtown by bike and served as an excellent base for our group during SXSW Interactive.  The thoughtfully equipped kitchen inspired some tasty breakfast experiments with ingredients from the large international grocery store just up the street.  If cooking isn't your thing, a coffee shop, 24-hour cafe, and some very good local restaurants are all within walking distance. Jeri was a fantastic host who accommodated our late check in without issue and anticipated the sorts of questions guests might have in an unfamiliar space with some well-placed labels. Where are the paper towels? What does this switch do? Our user experience and documentation team members were pleased to see these questions answered by Jeri's top-notch signage. We would all love to stay here again, especially in better weather so that we could take advantage of the gorgeous backyard and deck. Highly recommended!"
446961,10975323,2014-03-16,3656314,Cody,"Jeri was a great host and accommodated us greatly while my group was in town for SXSW Music.  We realized we needed an early check in and she helped us out.  All the info you need for your stay is in the binder she leaves, including some great food spots not to miss.  You are within walking distance of a great international market, amazing coffee house with top notch breakfast burritos, and down the road from the In n Out Burger if that's your thing.  Also getting into downtown Austin is a 5 minute drive.  We highly recommend staying here if you have a nice group of people or just want a weekend away.  "
446961,20342448,2014-09-28,19189367,Rachel,"Lovely house in a fantastic location! A group of girls and I went to Austin for a bachelorette party, and it was so convenient to be close to downtown, the UT campus, restaurants, I-35 for travel, etc. The house is furnished with plenty of beds and our sweet hostess left plenty of nice accommodations. Thanks for a great stay!"
446961,20896738,2014-10-07,17746683,Lyle,Jeri's place is lovely. She made sure we felt welcome and even left us pop and snacks! I'd love to stay again if we ever come back to Austin!
446961,21197886,2014-10-13,18090301,Estela,"The space, location and amenities were exactly what we needed for a nine person stay during ACL weekend.  Everyone slept comfortably.  The restrooms were clean and spacious and there were plenty of towels for everyone. The driveway had enough space for three vehicles so we only had to park one on the street.  We had freshly brewed coffee every day and used the full-stocked kitchen to make breakfast.  Also enjoyed drinks on the back patio after the shows. Thanks so much Jeri!"
446961,21754124,2014-10-23,13148013,Nicole,"This was a very good rental - we've rented all around the world, so I'd give this an 8.75 rating out of 10.  Its Airbnb so you never know what you are going to get in terms of how lived in the place is.  This place feels like someone lives here when they are not renting, but hard to tell completely.  We did not have much communication from the owner, except to tell us where the key was and that the front door didn't open.  This was the biggest hang-up because we had other friends in town and they kept knocking on the front door - a small inconvenience that I know she is fixing.  We were able to make ourselves at home.  The location was a bit out of the way.  You have to have a car.  We were able to rent bikes nearby one day, and use Uber to get out when our daughter wasn't around the drive us.  Good coffeehouse at the end of the street that we could walk to and enjoy some of the Austin vibe, but otherwise downtown is about 10-15 minutes drive away.  Take the surface road and avoid traffic on the interstate."
446961,23948486,2014-12-15,23094999,Patrick,"Jeri's home was perfect for us! We felt welcomed and relaxed there, like we were really at home. She has a beautiful kitchen that we made several ""family dinners"" in and a fantastic living area and backyard for hanging out. 

Staying with 7 people gets cozy, but as long as everyone is prepared to share space then you're in for a great trip.

Great coffee shop and grocery store within walking distance and downtown was just a short cab ride away.

Would definitely book here again when I'm back in Austin. Thanks Jeri!
"
446961,25784806,2015-01-26,21499694,Sara,"We had a fantastic experience in Jeri's lovely house. At first the location seemed sketchy--near the highway, passed many pawnshops on the way from the airport. But it is a quiet community and totally safe to walk around in. Jeri was so accomadating! We were in Austin for the 3M half marathon and she left us a good luck note and a bottle of champagne. Theres a great coffee/food place within a block and a big international grocery store that's easily accessible by foot. The back yard is lovely and well cared for. When we had an issue with the cable TV Jeri was instantly available and helped us to get it fixed."
446961,33060276,2015-05-25,17199447,Rosita,"Charming, sophisticated and well equipped. We rented it for our daughter's graduation from UT, and could not have been more pleased. The location was perfect for us--close to campus and walking distance to several breakfast restaurants and bars. Also convenient to HEB and Fiesta grocery stores. The kitchen is large and lovely, and has every pot and utensil you will ever need. Fantastic new stove, dishwasher and huge refrigerator. We used the grill for hamburgers and hot dogs. Unfortunately, we were there during the Texas monsoons in May 2015 and the mosquitoes had claimed the backyard for themselves! Certainly not the owner's fault. Be aware that you need to pay taxes upon arrival, as it's required by the city of Austin."
446961,49466222,2015-10-04,1448659,Felicia,"My Austin experience was fantastic?  The home is charming and very comfortable.  Many a mornings were spent coffee drinking on the back deck. 
The neighborhood is cute and feels safe; very close to restaurants, groceries, bars, and the freeway.  You have to visit the farmer's market down the road on Sundays.
Can't wait to return."
446961,50288969,2015-10-11,37181753,Raji,Jeri's space was very cozy for my group of 7 and she was very accommodating during check in and check out. This listing has great location for a stay in Austin. Her dog is super adorable too if you get to meet her!

4044213,19644018,2014-09-15,20991078,Lane,I had a wonderful experience in Austin staying at Leigh's cute apartment! It was very clean and perfect for what we needed! I really appreciated her hospitality and availability throughout our trip....the cupcakes were yummy ;)

4044213,20839917,2014-10-06,6646371,Vegard,Leigh was very helpful sending contact and practical information upfront. The apartment was easy to find and just as said in the ad. All needed amenities were in the apartment. I can highly recommend the place although you need to use a car to get to downtown Austin.
4044213,21292100,2014-10-14,5251653,Ellen,"Leigh's place was amazing -- super cute and spacious. There were some amazing cupcakes waiting for us on arrival which kind of made my day. The neighborhood was quiet and cute. The bus line straight to downtown (and ACL) is only one block away, which allowed us to totally ignore our car all weekend. I would highly recommend Leigh's apartment!"
4044213,22020984,2014-10-28,20672269,Sarah,"Staying at Leigh's was great! The location is perfect and it didn't take too long to drive anywhere we went during our 3-night stay (and we drove a LOT). Her apartment is a wonderful size, and the decor is adorable. It was so nice to feel like we were staying at a friend's place instead of at a hotel. Leigh was also fast to respond to any questions I had and super helpful. We'll definitely try and book her place next time we're in town!"
4044213,22360610,2014-11-04,869337,Sonya,Great place! Leigh was friendly and clear about everything. The place felt inviting and clean without being fussy. I'd definitely stay here again.
4044213,22953187,2014-11-18,3720495,Majid,Everything about the listing was accurate and the apartment was super clean and cozy. Arrival was very straightforward and easy.  We had a wonderful time and received free cupcakes also!  
4044213,23103603,2014-11-23,12772170,Emilie,"The place was absolutely adorable, and its proximity to campus and several great restaurants was awesome. Will definitely try to stay here again next time I visit Austin."
4044213,23182172,2014-11-24,23654124,David,The apartment was just as advertised.  It's in an older apartment complex but was nice with plenty of parking and the apartment was very tastefully decorated.
4044213,23229816,2014-11-25,3782615,Jordan,"Leigh's apartment was great to stay in. Very spacious and comfortable, immaculately clean. Parking was on site and her place is about 5 mins off the highway, and is within walking distance to some great bars and restaurants, including one of the world's greatest gelato places! If you're in town to interview at UT Austin residency programs, they are a 10 minute walk from the apartment - very convenient! I unfortunately did not get to meet Leigh, but she made the check-in process very smooth and provided me with clear and detailed instructions on how to access her apartment. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
4044213,23393873,2014-11-30,4336897,Heather,"The apartment was exactly as described. Pleasantly decorated, comfortable, clean, and the complex was quiet. Lots of places to walk to for meals, coffee, shopping, and there was a grocery store right down the street.

I enjoy walking and cycling, so even though this is just under 40 blocks from the river downtown, it was doable for us. However, if walking/cycling longer distances aren't your thing, downtown is a very short bus/car drive away. If you've ever been to central Austin, everything is close anyway...it's not a spread out area.

In short, we really liked this place!"
4044213,23707272,2014-12-08,2732022,Brian,Nice and clean apartment in great location. Everything you need for a fun weekend in Austin. Check in and check out were a breeze and excellent communication from Leigh. This place is an excellent value.
4044213,23820262,2014-12-11,22857599,Jolie,"Leigh's place was incredibly cute and perfect for two people wanting to stay close to downtown for an affordable rate. The place looks just like the pictures. The neighborhood felt safe and student-oriented. The first night we were there, a Monday, it was pretty loud in the complex because of a party that I guessed revolved around finals or football, but even then it was quiet by 11. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with the place. I advise everyone to stay at Leigh's!"
4044213,25031343,2015-01-05,24123852,Les,"Nice clean place, very quiet and convenient.  My host was very communicative and everything met our expectations.  "
4044213,25888437,2015-01-28,1192184,Brian,"I had a fantastic stay - the apartment was exactly as shown/described, Leigh coordinated everything perfectly - was easy to get a hold of, friendly, offered suggestions in the area and was an ideal host.

The apartment was clean, comfy and Leigh was super accommodating, letting me stay past our original check-out time after my flight home was delayed. "
4044213,26247357,2015-02-08,25217892,Leandro,"Very good communication, fast responses, check in/check out  guide line detailed so you know exactly what to do. She put herself available anytime. The place is exactly as you see on the pictures, nice decoration, comfortable bed, and quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect for me. I like HydePark area a lot, and its very close to UT. "
4044213,26983220,2015-02-23,2978937,Brian,"Leigh's apartment is exactly as represented.  Clean, comfortable and perfect for a short or extended stay in Austin.  Leigh left out some nice welcoming goodies which were very appreciated.  Location of apartment is great and within easy driving access of all our Austin favorite spots.  Apartment was very quiet and well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable.  Spent 10 days and Leigh even provided a second key for my son to use while he was there for a few of the days."
4044213,27322947,2015-03-02,17021204,Chuck,"We loved staying at Leigh's place! It was clean and comfortable, with a warm and inviting decor; had everything we needed; and it's in a good location.  :-)"

Leigh was very accommodating and made us feel very comfortable, we would definitely visit Her place again. "
4044213,27885825,2015-03-14,23784785,Alex,"Nice place good location everything went smoothly, would recommend!"
4044213,28247633,2015-03-21,24974515,Monica,My host made me feel very welcome. She even picked me up from airport which she didn't have to. She was open to me calling or texting with any concerns or questions for the week I was there.  Her apartment exactly matched the pictures and what she wrote in her description. 
4044213,29488928,2015-04-08,11840589,Brendan,"Leigh was a wonderful host.  The apartment was very clean and in a great, safe location.  It was within 10 minutes from downtown in a very quiet complex.  There were plenty of towels, the bed was nice and Leigh left a document for us detailing how to use all amenities.  I would highly recommend staying here.  We definitely will next time we come back, as we journey to Austin annually."
4044213,29821880,2015-04-13,6353967,Aaron,"The best rental we've had in the USA. A comfortable, lived-in apt that is neat as a pin and centrally located. The #5 bus goes right by the house with other lines nearby. We cooked two meals there and wore out her K-cup machine (not literally). Leigh answered a question by email promptly. The internet is fast, the neighborhood quiet, the town friendly, young, and a joy to explore. We were wandering near the capitol one night when we got stuck inside a huge religious procession. We just stood and watched and listened to the singing. Finally I asked, ""What is this?"" And a fellow with a twinkle in his eye said cheerfully, ""Good Friday, of course!"" Yes ... ORTHODOX Good Friday, a week after everyone else observes it. So many pleasant surprises in this town, not the least of which was our excellent airbnb accommodation."
4044213,30024670,2015-04-16,6868127,Christopher,"Leigh's apartment was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We appreciated having Chromecast and well-functioning Wifi. Checking in and out was a snap. Leigh also was a great communicator, sending us a map and detailed instructions ahead of time, as well as a great list of amenities once we got there. Recommended!"
4044213,30289164,2015-04-20,27322759,Traci,"Leigh communicated with me prior to my arrival and left very clear instructions regarding her apartment.  She also provided coffee and  breakfast food, which was great!  It was very clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood is quiet and very convenient to UT campus and many shops and restaurants.  We really enjoyed our stay."
4044213,30761310,2015-04-27,7216749,Vanessa,"She left us some great snacks and a nice note - we felt so welcomed as soon as we walked in. 
Her place was just as described in a great neighborhood with a fabulous juice shop and grocery store nearby! "
4044213,30999094,2015-04-30,1238306,Siobhan,"Leigh's apartment is quite cute and cozy. It feels homey but also like it's prepared for guests. It had everything we needed to do a bit of cooking ourselves. The area is good,  it's not far from the uni which is nice.  Leigh was responsive and helpful and check in/out was a breeze. I would definitely recommend her place."
4044213,31285783,2015-05-04,25355260,Leslie,"This was a great value for the price. The apartment is cute, quiet and centrally located. The Keurig was a nice touch and the wifi worked well."

Great communicator and an A+ airbnber.
"
4044213,32121536,2015-05-14,21781910,Shan,"Leigh was a great host! I stayed here with my parents. They stayed in the guest bedroom and I stayed on an air mattress in the living room that Leigh set up. We were all very impressed with how clean and well maintained the apartment was! In addition, Leigh gave us some vegan co-op cupcakes as a welcome gift. Overall, we absolutely enjoyed ours tay with Leigh and would book with her again if ever in Austin."
4044213,32472689,2015-05-18,29070223,Maryan,"Leigh's apartment was fantastic! We had such a great stay here. Leigh was very attentive and made our stay more than comfortable. She even welcomed us to her apartment with cupcakes and champagne to start my birthday celebration :) so sweet.  It was like staying at a friends place! There were four of us staying here and it was just the right amount of room! Thank you so much, Leigh, for an awesome Airbnb experience. "
4044213,33069330,2015-05-25,5309571,Gerald & Reina,Leigh's apartment is lovely and has everything you need for a nice stay. Leigh was super helpful before and during our stay. We'd certainly stay here a again!

4044213,52060248,2015-10-26,24074372,Eric,"The apartment was clean and well stocked, and in a convenient location.  Very flexible checkin, and a nice rental summary sheet. Free coffee, with good variety. 

Leigh was very helpful and very responsive by text (we didn't actually meet her). The tail of a hurricane made it rain very hard, causing a few drips, but she had maintenance come over immediately to fix it, and gave us laundry supplies for drying."
4044213,52863229,2015-11-02,5769021,Robin,"My experience at Leigh's was fabulous! Leigh was friendly, easy to get in touch with and pro-active in making sure I had all of the information I needed to check in and check out. The place was immaculate and had everything I needed, including coffee. :) The location was also great for me, as it was within walking distance to coffeeshops and tacos (very important ;) ). Highly recommend!"
5539557,33384143,2015-05-27,30931012,Gustavo,Host was super friendly and very thorough in showing me the amenities of the home.  Home is decorated extremely well and the host even had some fresh fruit out for me to enjoy.  Definitely an awesome spot to spend some time at in Austin.
3760974,17414864,2014-08-11,18901492,Nick,"They went way ABOVE & BEYOND to make us feel welcome!
I was extremely impressed with the condition of the house. The amenities' were much more than expected. Everything was extremely clean, extremely comfortable and well above our expectations.
And believe me everyone enjoyed it. On a scale from 1 - 10 I would give them a 25+++.
If we EVER go back to Austin again, which my son and his, soon wife to be, are already talking about. There is no other place they will stay (I'm sure). 
The neighborhood is close to everything we wanted to see. It is clean, eclectic, and up and coming, a lot up upgrade building going on. Many popular sites and restaurants are very close by. Highly, highly recommended for anyone heading to Austin get in touch with Issac and Kelsey!!
This is the place to be.

Sincerely,
Nick"
3760974,17606863,2014-08-14,19903696,Dandi,"Beautiful home and great location! Our stay was very comfortable and we loved being able to walk to great restaurants and see the Capitol building downtown - the lighting at night is really cool! Hosts, Isaac and Kelsey were awesome! Wonderful experience for our quick stay in Austin. Would stay here again anytime!"
3760974,17902905,2014-08-18,19865983,Brady,"Our experience at this property could not have been better! The house was extremely clean upon arrival and everything listed by the owners is accurate. The modern design on the inside looked amazing, the master bedroom is a great size, and all of the beds are super comfortable. The east side of Austin is a cool area with lots of culture and this puts you in the middle of it, with downtown only a short walk away. We came in for my birthday and the owners went out of there way to provide champagne and a birthday cake! I would highly recommend this property!"
3760974,18362916,2014-08-25,2140219,Raymond,"Issac and Kelsey are the best! Their home is so comfortable and inviting that you feel right at home as soon as you walk in. 

I was kind of a pest, asking for early check in and late check out, but they were so accommodating & kind about everything. 

This will definitely be my first choice of places to stay next time in in Austin!   "
3760974,18910030,2014-09-02,20185442,Mira,We stayed in this fabulous spot for my sisters bachelorette and were greeted by champagne! The space was perfect- even better than the pictures - we loved the open sitting area. Def would recommend and hope to visit again. 
3760974,19051752,2014-09-05,6622790,Kasey,"We absolutely adored our stay at Isaac and Kelsey's place. They are such awesome hosts. The house is very cool, in a great location and had everything we needed. They even left us champagne in the fridge and a stocked liquor cabinet. Amazing! "
3760974,19153935,2014-09-07,11279915,Teresa,"I loved everything about the house! It was beautifully decorated, well appointed, sparkling clean, and great attention to detail. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful experience and comfortable stay in Austin!  Should we ever have the need to stay over night in Austin, we will definitely be back. Thank you again for being such wonderful hosts! "
3760974,19621219,2014-09-15,372353,Robert,Isaac and Kelsey's place was amazing with plenty of room and near a lot of cool spots for food and drinks. I would definitely recommend staying at their place if you ever find yourself in Austin. Truly a gem!
3760974,20235533,2014-09-26,19481733,Tristan,"These guys were the best hosts! Awesome place, great area, excellent experience in Austin.. I highly recommend.."
3760974,21283661,2014-10-14,13477608,Sean,The home was beautiful and well kept. We had more than enough of everything to take care of us for two weeks. It was delight to stay here. I highly recommend it. They even had food in the fridge plus a bottle of champagne. 
3760974,21586151,2014-10-20,20467727,Bob,"These are two wonderful hosts! The house was exactly as represented on their listing. In addition, they had lots of personal touches that made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable.  The house was very clean it is clear it is well maintained.

The neighborhood was in a great location and felt very safe. The hosts left a very informative binder full of activities suggestions and restaurant recommendations. They were easily accessible for any questions. If going to  Austin again, we will definitely want to return to their house."
3760974,21760149,2014-10-23,3127726,Sharlene,"The Navasota house was perfect for my colleague and I travelling on business.  Spotless, trendy and fully stocked, I highly recommend and would return in an instant.  "
3760974,21876205,2014-10-26,20565564,Leslie,We had a great time at the house! It is super cute and comfortable and close to lots of great areas. Isaac and Kelsey were fantastic hosts and very responsive- when we had an issue with an appliance they took care of it right away! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
3760974,22299500,2014-11-03,8803576,Alfonso,"Isaac & Kelsey fueron excepcionales anfitriones, verdaderamente saben hacer sentir, a quien visita su casa, como propia. El anuncio y las fotos que en el aparecen, son idénticas a la realidad, es una casa muy bien decorada, en donde todo funciona de maravilla. Aún y cuando el barrio no es el más bonito, la ubicación de la casa es excelente, verdaderamente a 5 minutos de Austin Downtown.   "
3760974,22426613,2014-11-06,520925,April,The Navasota House was absolutely lovely and was a great home base for my family and I to explore Austin. Isaac and Kelsey were very accommodating and even left us a chilled bottle of cava for our arrival! 
3760974,22832554,2014-11-16,21746158,Gautam,"Even before getting to Austin, we felt at ease that the house has keypad entry, eliminating the need to co-ordinate with the hosts for handover of keys. 

The house is beautiful, and as mentioned in other reviews, spotless. There was a bottle of wine and a handwritten note to welcome us, and food in the fridge that made breakfast for six a breeze. (Breakfast is often the most hard-to-plan meal with a group, with people getting up and getting ready at wildly different times). 

The house is well-stocked in every department, and the addition of things like gel and shampoo dispensers in the showers show a real thoroughness of planning. A guestbook (which we completely forgot to sign, sorry!) had lots of information on nearby restaurants and other activities, along with take-along maps of downtown.

The street is almost worryingly quiet if you've come to experience the restaurants and bars, but you quickly realise it's the best of both worlds—that it's just a walk to all the fun places. And if the weather is cold and rainy like it was for us, this is a house you can spend the day in without getting cabin fever—it's well-lit and spacious.

Our only real complaint about our weekend was the weather, but that's hardly our hosts' fault!"
3760974,23360418,2014-11-30,20622031,Brooke,"Isaac and Kelsey did a great job of making our family feel welcomed. The refrigerator and pantry was stocked local coffee, eggs, and a few other items. There was shampoo, body wash etc in a nice dispenser in the bathrooms. Everything was comfy and cozy. 

The neighborhood was a bit different than I expected. East Austin isn't the nicest part of town but there were plenty of great places to eat and get groceries nearby. It was also quite convenient for getting to the highway and into downtown. While we had our own car, we opted for Uber to get us downtown and all of our rides were under $10, which was a nice surprise. We also spent a lot of time bike riding. The pathway along the river was easy to access and took about 10 min, by bike, to get to. 


"
3760974,23595763,2014-12-06,6563822,Dylan,"The house was very clean and perfectly fitting for our business trip.

Isaac & Kelsey left coffee and wine for us, which was a real treat.

Considering the house was the same price as a downtown hotel room, I would recommend it to other friends."
3760974,23687672,2014-12-08,17832894,Chris,"My guests and I had a great time here.  Everything was described accurately and we had no issues getting in and out of the place and finding what we needed.  Our friends stopped by and also complimented how nice and modern it was here.  Overall, a very nice stay and we'd consider booking here again."
3760974,24340882,2014-12-26,24614900,Stephanie,"Isaac was a great host. Communication was really quick, the house was very clean and well equipped with amenities. This house is in an up and coming neighborhood in Austin and close to many things. Loved the motion sensor lights around property and the electronic key pad that allowed us immediate access. Plenty of room for my children to run around and was a great meeting place for all of my family who came in town for the holiday. Great first experience using this site.  "
3760974,24730446,2015-01-02,6696554,Markus,"We were at Navasota over new year with a group of 8 (2 ), and had a blast.  It is a cool little bungalow that has been renovated to a high standard.  We also really liked the area. There are lots of cool spots near by to walk to,  and the rest of Austin is super close. 

Isaac was very responsive to any questions and was a great host. Highly recommended."
3760974,24991549,2015-01-04,15740661,Stanford,"Isaac was friendly,  accommodating, and just a fantastic host. The house was very modern with great lighting, furniture, and appliances. It was spotless! My guests all commented on how comfortable the beds are. And the house has the cutest patio! I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again. "
3760974,25277470,2015-01-11,16687654,Lauren,"My friends and I had a great time staying here!  The house was in a great location, and was exactly as advertised: clean, spacious, and comfortable.  "
3760974,25383519,2015-01-14,947279,Brendan,"I was *supposed* to stay here with some colleagues during a business trip to Austin, but winter weather grounded my flights. Here's the feedback from those who actually made it there:

""It was awesome.  Super, super nice.  Probably the nicest airbnb I've stayed at.  You can tell they remodeled pretty much the whole house recently (appliances, showers, bathrooms, beds).""

Isaac was really easy to communicate with throughout the booking, so if I needed to go to Austin again I'd probably try to stay here."
3760974,25536800,2015-01-19,21445312,Abby,"My three friends and I had a fantastic stay in Isaac's Airbnb. The photos and listing descriptions are completely accurate and we could not have been more pleased. The home is very spacious with three BIG beds (including a king size bed in a large master bedroom with an in-suite bathroom), a nice, modern kitchen with plenty of utensils and cooking equipment, a living room with a flat-screen TV and a charming backyard.

The location was great -- right in the center of Austin's cool ""Brooklyn-esque"" neighborhood and walking distance to Franklin's BBQ as well as cute coffee shops, restaurants and bars along E. 6th St. The apartment was super clean and Isaac was incredibly responsive throughout our stay. We definitely recommend this spot for groups of friends, couples and families and look forward to staying in it again the next time we're in town!"
3760974,25636462,2015-01-21,22542906,Kim,"The house was exactly as described and we loved sitting outside on the  deck and with the ambience of the string lights!   The keyless locks made our access a breeze.  
Isaac even had great food recommendations.  We ate breakfast at the Hillside Farmacy and really enjoyed it.  
The house was a good location for our trip to the Capitol and we would definitely stay there again!"
3760974,25738396,2015-01-25,22811915,Marta,"Isaac was great!  He sent a welcoming text asking us to let him know if we needed anything, but everything we needed was provided.  The house was comfortable, open and welcoming.  The beds were fabulous, especially in the main house.  Bath supplies were all provided, and the towels were soft enough to wrap a baby in.  Everything in the house exactly as pictured.  The proximity to east 6th was great with miscellaneous wine and appetizers only 2 blocks away.  The neighborhood was a little shadier than expected, but we never felt insecure.  I would stay there again in a flash!"
3760974,25893746,2015-01-28,20793161,Autry,"Isaac is a great host. The description was accurate; and, there were even a few pleasant surprises. There is a lot of light that pours into the home; however, he has a thermostat that warms the house very quickly. You can easily find your way around. Just a great place, I recommend to anyone."
3760974,25993086,2015-02-01,16877903,Linda,Stayed here with a group of 8 girls to celebrate my friend's bachelorette and everyone raved about how delightful the home was! We all fit comfortably in the beds and there was still plenty of space to gather in the communal area.  The house looks just as it does in the pictures and the description of the home was very accurate. The curb appeal of the neighborhood did make us feel slightly nervous upon our arrival but once inside we found the aura of the home to be very warm and safe. I really liked that its centrally located to everything you need (walking distance to grocery store) and only a short cab ride to downtown Austin. It was all of our first time visiting Austin so the notebook filled with Isaac's suggestions certainly came in handy for us. Isaac was wonderful and easy to get in touch with throughout the whole booking process. My friends and I all agreed we would definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin!  
3760974,26192651,2015-02-06,26734960,Liana,"This is the dream airbnb location. The house is so neat and quaint, pretty much exactly as pictured. It's both cozy and spacious at the same time and the perfect place to return to after a long day. My main concern staying anywhere is the kitchen for cooking food, but they had very modern appliances and a fully stocked space. So comfortable, would definitely stay here again. Vacation home that I wish was my home!"
3760974,26296811,2015-02-09,12248306,Shana,"Our experience in this house was awesome! Exactly what we were looking for. Clean, comfortable, beautifully furnished, great amenities and close to great Austin hotspots. We also could not get enough of the lovely patio, being from New York and desperately needing some Texas sun. Isaac was a very diligent host and was quick to respond to any of our inquiries. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone traveling in Austin. "
3760974,26670827,2015-02-17,11871856,Allison,"This home was fabulous! Very clean upon arrival and easy to check-in to, etc. Isaac was available via text for any questions at any time. Great location. You can walk about three blocks to a bunch of restaurants and is a cheap uber/lyft ride away from downtown. We did walk to downtown one day and it wasn't that far. Great decor and plenty of space."
3760974,26829579,2015-02-20,4886645,Alí,"The house is beautiful, very centrally located. I would love to stay again in my future Austin visits."
3760974,26904376,2015-02-22,19757529,Brianna,"The Navasota house is awesome. We had 8 girls and everyone slept comfortably. The house was very clean and the linens/towels were super soft. The house is centrally located to a lot of great places, just a short Uber/Lyft ride. It was our first time to Austin but should we come back we would definitely stay at the Navasota house again. "
3760974,27448863,2015-03-04,28398981,Cameron,I stayed there alone for business for a few nights. The house was well big enough to deal with 8 people no problem. It was an incredibly nice house in the up and coming East-side area. The pictures don't do it justice. Cool little cafes and bakery's are right down the street. Close to the airport also. Only a few miles I believe. I will stay here again the next time I come to Austin for sure.
3760974,27569540,2015-03-08,13100467,Patrick,"Isaac was the perfect host, very accommodating and friendly! The location was perfect; very close to great restaurants, cool bars and delicious food trucks. The house was clean and pretty. The showers had great water pressure and the beds were very comfortable. It was the perfect place for our trip and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to explore Austin. Thanks Isaac! "
3760974,27794433,2015-03-12,8607190,Jonathan,Such a great place!  East Austin is definitely the place to stay and I can't  imagine a more convenient location.  So close to all the best restaurants on the east side and super close to downtown.  Everything in the house is as advertised.  Great design of the interior space as really comfy.  Would highly recommend this home!
3760974,28066524,2015-03-17,14056438,John,"Great stay, beautiful home, great location!"

3760974,28774067,2015-03-30,22203510,Rosemary,"The Navasota house was beautiful, and we felt very welcomed. There was more than enough space for five people. We particularly liked the bathrooms--they were very modern and had all of the amenities. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxed lounging. The East Austin neighborhood was also a great location. I liked how Isaac included a booklet with food & fun suggestions for the area. I would definitely come back here again! "
3760974,29093352,2015-04-04,11110523,Jennifer,"This location of this home is perfectly situated between everything on the Eastside of Austin. The description of the home is as stated on the add, no surprises. Issac was also easy to get a hold of and ver accommodating. "

3760974,30187265,2015-04-19,4995203,Kelli,"This home is absolutely beautiful! Isaac provided a great atmosphere for our family to stay in for the weekend. The house was stocked with bathroom necessities, which is always helpful while traveling. The house was clean and rooms/beds were comfortable. The house was easy to find upon first arriving and was closing to downtown. Maps said it was about a 20 minutes walk, however we still opted to catch a ride to 6th street, where all the main bars are. Would definitely stay here in the future."
3760974,30391402,2015-04-21,21524649,Marcela,The house was great. We'd recommend it to others and come back on our next Austin stay. Thanks Isaac!

I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Austin. "
3760974,32048689,2015-05-13,6976340,Graham,"The house was perfect for us, very spacious with all the facilities we needed in the house. 

Great location, Quickie Picki a short walk to bottom of street had all we needed for day to day shopping and plenty of shops around. 6th street where bars are easily within walking distance, SoCo and the Brilliant Rainy Street not much further away anmd cheap in an Uber. 

We hope to return, if we do this would be where we'd want to stay. "
3760974,32318930,2015-05-17,14766379,Jared,"Isaac's home was perfect for our group. We were in town to check out Austin and the house was walking distance to downtown which was great. 

He answered all questions quickly and everything in the house was as he said it would be. "

3760974,33644303,2015-05-31,18009809,Erin,Isaac was very accommodating with our travel plans allowing us to come in early. The neighborhood was perfect for walking to the east side and it was the perfect size house for our group. The neighbor ms Thompson was nice and the air conditioning in the home was so appreciated (especially for us Denver folk who aren't used to all that humidity!) 
3760974,34164439,2015-06-05,34229543,Andrew,"We had a great stay during our time at this residence in Austin. Our group of five slept comfortably, it was spacious, and the bathrooms are specifically catered to travellers.  Also provides a great list of recommendations for people staying of places to see, eat, and drink. 

Great locations, great amenities, great house. Do recommend. "
3760974,34413413,2015-06-08,7302494,Alena,"Our group had a fantastic stay at Isaac's home in Austin. Isaac is very responsive, helpful, and thoughtful with his recommendations and house guidelines. The rooms were spacious and spotless, and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Isaac made himself available for any questions that came up, and was accommodating of our needs when we needed a place to keep our bags after check out. He is an excellent host, and if you select his home for your trip to Austin you will not leave disappointed.  "
3760974,34681507,2015-06-10,10173129,Sean,"Great location,  easy transition.  Isaac delivered on what was advertised. Recommend his home to anyone traveling to the area."
3760974,34954722,2015-06-14,4608393,Thea,"This house was PERFECT for 5 ladies in need of a college roommate reunion.   Its an up-and-coming area just a few blocks to East 6th street (which is a lot more relaxed cooler vibe for some married old ladies) and Franklin's bbq on 11th.  It's only a $10 uber ride to Rainey St and super close to downtown.  Having 2 bathrooms was a huge bonus which I think is sometimes harder to find.  The air-conditioning and ceiling fans were lifesavers in the 90 degree heat.  The house is gorgeously furnished and the amenities were top notch. Fast Wifi!  Issac is gracious, prompt, and communicative host.  You can tell he is respected in his neighborhood because even his 90 year old neighbor lady looks after him.  "
3760974,35505457,2015-06-19,3652599,Thomas,"We had a very good time in Isaac's house. Rooms, beds, kitchen, all in excellent condition. Isaac is an excellent host, very responsive to any request. We enjoyed the location, at a walking distance from downtown in a quiet Neighborhood."
3760974,35628765,2015-06-21,22509111,Julie,Isaac's home was clean and welcoming. The space was perfect for my sister's bachelorette party. He communicated with us well before our trip. We had a great trip. 
3760974,36063407,2015-06-24,21648209,Tom,"We rented the house for 3 nights for business meetings at IBM.
The house was very clean, very well appointed and provided a great refuge after long meetings, etc.
The house was exactly as described and very comfortable.
The neighbor hood was good but the is a day care next door.
We would definitely rent this again for future trips/meetings, great location."
3760974,36250995,2015-06-26,13224084,Michelle,"Enjoyed our stay at Isaac's place.  House looks just like photos.  Master bed is extremely comfortable!  Actually noted the brand of pillows and have already ordered for my home.  Both bathrooms are very well done as is the kitchen.  A couple of slight issues that were out of owners control.....Internet and cable worked perfect the first night.  We could not get either the second night.  Apparently the modem needed to be reset.  Isaac stresses to call if there are any issues, but we decided it was not worth disturbing him over.  Second morning of our stay the electricity went out as we were trying to get ready for work and clean the house.  Again, out of Isaac's control.   From other reviews I can tell these issues are not typical, and I would recommend staying this home!  "
3760974,36358427,2015-06-28,25747631,Victoria,The house was awesome!! Looked exactly like the pictures and the beds were super comfortable. His neighbor is a character but warms up if you are friendly to her :)
3760974,36883694,2015-07-02,10346223,Rebecca,"We loved Isaac's house! It is in a great, up and coming neighborhood and was not too far from Downtown Austin and South Congress area. There were amazing restaurants and shops walkable from the house (if it's not too hot out). The home was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything we could have needed. The beds were also very comfortable. 

Isaac was a spectacular host!! When we arrived the internet was out due to nearby construction but Isaac was amazing and helped us sort it out immediately. "
3760974,37971095,2015-07-12,1803791,Emily,We had a great stay at Isaac's home. The home was exactly as pictured and very clean and comfortable with plenty of room for all 8 of us. The location was very convenient to downtown and for driving to other locations in Austin. I would definitely recommend staying here for your next trip!
3760974,38826898,2015-07-19,5289504,Andrew,"Awesome house in a super convenient location. It was very clean and is well laid out for a group (We had 8). Beds are comfortable and the house stays nice and cool - which was a great way to recover from the heat! Miss Thomas is an excellent neighbor. She entertained us with her stories and blues music. Next time in Austin with a group, I hope to stay here again!"
3760974,39538948,2015-07-24,1832711,Kelly,"We loved Isaac's home in Austin! The neighborhood was perfect, close to everything we needed, and the house was absolutely lovely. Isaac went overboard to answer our questions and to give us tips for eating well and getting around town. He was always really quick to respond, and super courteous each time. We would absolutely rent this house again."
3760974,39926901,2015-07-27,33161192,Jeffrie,"We had a wonderful time staying at Issac's home in Austin. The home was clean and was an ideal fit our group of 8, if anyone is looking for a great place to stay in Austin I definitely recommend this place!"
3760974,40284658,2015-07-29,2072166,James,Wonderful place. Isaac provided everything we needed. Very clean. Back patio rocks. Will definitely stay again
3760974,40737208,2015-08-02,1945919,Corrina,"Isaac provided lots of helpful information prior to our arrival, including a detailed set of check-in instructions. I felt very prepared and there were basically no surprises. The keycode lock system was very convenient and appreciated. We also made good use of the iHome and the back deck. The house was in a good location (super close to Franklin's!), but not much within walking distance. The house itself was clean and there were plenty of fresh clean towels."
3760974,42844217,2015-08-16,24087295,Joel,"Great experience. Isaac provided a long list of instructions, tips, and recommendations via email prior to arrival and there was also a complete binder with local attractions/restaurants in the house. We were also thrilled to find a little surprise left for us in the fridge. Thanks Isaac!

House was very clean, most of the appliances appear to be up to date, plenty of beds, and the back porch is great. Location is a little off the main area, but most places are walkable and the Uber rides to 6th St. and Rainey were ~$5. Overall a great experience for our group."
3760974,43624775,2015-08-21,10051128,Stacey,"Isaac is kind, thorough and available.  I needed to extend my trip and he instantly responded.  The house is outstanding and masterfully appointed in ways most listings are not.  Every detail has been well thought out and you won't be disappointed.  Located in a great neighborhood where you can walk to eat, etc.  One of the best places I've rented in Austin."
3760974,45059493,2015-08-31,4858646,Aaron,"This house, and Isaac, was fantastic! We were three couples from around the country coming to Austin for a little college reunion and this house worked great for us. It was VERY close to downtown--which meant that we could walk (if we had the energy or it wasn't too hot) or take a pretty cheap Uber or cab. The house was clean and had everything we needed. 6 people fit in comfortably. Even with  the research we had done before coming, the binder in the house with restaurant recommendations came in handy! 

The neighborhood is cute, with a bunch of restaurants in walking distance.  And of course there is Miss Thomas--the next door neighbor. She's very friendly and (email hidden)ing there was a real slice of Austin that we would have never gotten staying at a hotel or downtown. "
3760974,45948463,2015-09-07,37323603,Joe,Isaac was awesome! We were hoping to get a late checkout due to our flights and he accommodated everything on the fly. The house was very clean and we were greeted with a few surprises in the refrigerator. 
3760974,47991794,2015-09-22,36959631,Neil,The house was a lovely and modern. The location was great and really close to the main district. The house was generally clean however there were some areas that could have had a little closer inspection; however this didn't affect us unduly. As a group travelling through USA we really thought that this place was very good value for money.
3760974,48495414,2015-09-27,29063226,Mary,Home was exactly as described.  The back porch with the lighting is very pleasant.
3760974,49041226,2015-09-30,20694271,Jolie,"The house was very nice, clean and as pictured. Isaac made check in easy.

The neighborhood seemed ok, but we were a group of 3 women traveling for business and none of us felt comfortable sleeping in the external house by ourselves. I am willing to admit we may have been a bit on the paranoid side (New Yorkers that are more comfortable with cramped spaces and people everywhere than space and quiet). We all found room in the main house, and that worked just fine for our group. 

I would stay again, but would only plan to use the external house/room if 2 people were going to use it. "
3760974,49420983,2015-10-04,4929386,Neel,"Isaac's house on Navasota was the perfect place for our group to stay during the ACL Music Festival. It is well-lit, nicely designed, and comfortable. We had as many as 6 staying at the house one night and there was definitely room for more. 

I only wish that we could have used the well-appointed kitchen more - including gas range! - but we mostly ate at the festival. The house would be perfect for a longer stay. If you like to run, Navasota is a straight shot to The running trails in Lady Bird Lake. 

Isaac was also wonderful. He was immediately available when we needed to reach him, and was super helpful. "
3760974,49997690,2015-10-08,3731912,Nick,"Isaac's place was fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the location was perfect. We were easily within a 20-minute walk of downtown restaurants and bars, and if we didn't feel like going far we could walk 4 or 5 minutes down to Quickie Pickie. Ms. Thomas, the next door neighbor, was also an absolute joy -- we spent some time with her every day and enjoyed her company. I highly recommend Isaac's house in East Austin! Even more impressive in person than the pictures and listing convey. We'll definitely be back."
3760974,50423582,2015-10-12,16548358,Megan,"House was very nice!  Very close to downtown, about a 5 minute cab ride.  The neighborhood was different than expected but it was so close to downtown that it worked great for us.  The detached house outside has two double/queen sized beds but no bathroom.  Our friends that stayed out there had to come into the main house every time they needed to use the bathroom, so just be prepared for that.  Isaac sent a very detailed email prior to our trip including all of the details we needed for arrival and departure.  We didn't have much contact other than that which was fine with me.  I did call him on the last day to see if we could check out an hour later than planned and he answered right away.  We were able to check out late which was very helpful.  All in all this was a great stay and I recommend it!"
3760974,51107466,2015-10-18,4233799,Sean,"Our stay at Isaac's place went off without a hitch. He made himself available to answer any questions we had about the place. Well updated and roomy. Recommend staying here for sure! FYI the two beds in the garage are doubles, not queens."
3760974,52672641,2015-11-01,2800140,Kathy,Fantastic place. Walking distance to downtown. 5 mins from the famed Franklin's BBQ. Wonderful restaurants right at the end of the street. Everything went smoothly and we highly enjoyed our stay!
911955,3587830,2013-02-19,5001542,Doug,"Spent 3 days at Zilker House and it exceeded expectations!   I had two of my kids with me and we agreed this was much better than a hotel.  The location is great.  We also used the kitchen (which is really nice) a lot so as not to eat out every time.  

Really like the hardwood floors and the remodeled house.  Felt more like visiting a cabin vs. a sterile hotel.  

Would definitely recommend and we will be back.  
"
911955,3648384,2013-02-27,4181052,Caro,"What a delightful little getaway house. Nice and clean, bright, and quiet. Thank you Mary! "
911955,3722982,2013-03-08,4705910,Nicole,"The Zilker House was perfect for my husband, 15-month old, and me.  It's very modern, clean, and comfortable, and we loved the style/decor. Even better than the pictures!  It felt like home for our 7-night stay. Very child-friendly and the hosts provided crib, high chair, toys and even some organic milk! Mary was a wonderful host, responding to any requests or questions we had immediately, as well as providing great suggestions for kid playtime, restaurants, etc. We had lived in Austin previously, but were not familiar with the neighborhood. Location was great -- within walking distance to many restaurants, CVS, playground/park, and close to downtown Austin, Town Lake trail, Zilker Park, etc. A block from South Lamar, but nice and quiet. We only wish we could have stayed longer.  We will be back again!"
911955,3781203,2013-03-14,3987013,Alessandro,"GREAT HOUSE! The house is completely renovated, very clean and cosy, with beautiful wooden floor, furniture, and all you need! The area is also very nice, not far from restaurants and Barton Springs. Mary has been the perfect host: everything went smoothly. she lent us her bikes and also invited us to parties! I would definitely go back!"
911955,3891024,2013-03-25,5176516,Shannon,"The Zilker House is in the perfect location close to downtown, their taste is danish modern furniture adds to the beauty and modern simplicity of the space and Mary was a wonderful host giving us privacy, but also very quick to respond.  Wish we could have stayed longer!"
911955,4596489,2013-05-14,4336601,Bryan,"This great house was the perfect base camp for our stay in Austin.
It has two large nice bedrooms, an amazing kitchen, beautiful bathroom, and everything is fully stocked!
The location was amazing. So close to the Barton Springs pool, South Congress, and basically close to everything. It was super clean as well. We loved it!
Thanks Mary:)"
911955,4967539,2013-06-04,1342380,Liz,"We had a wonderful four night stay at the Zilker House. Mary was incredibly friendly and helpful, and the house was beautiful and exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything about our experience was perfect. Hope we can return soon."
911955,5022595,2013-06-08,3275188,Kerry,"Very nice house, good location, near a lot of restaurants and centrally located to visit all of Austin. Comfortable beds. Nice modern kitchen. Couldn't ask for more!"
911955,5063298,2013-06-10,6508051,Helen,"My friend and I stayed at Mary's place over the weekend.  It was our first time visiting Austin and we could not have been happier with our accomodations.  Very clean, very comfortable, every amenity you'd think to have, and an unbeatable location.  Made for a very excellent vacation!"
911955,5487494,2013-07-02,6135418,Lisa,"I cannot say enough good things about my stay here.  Mary is an amazing host - gracious, thoughtful and accommodating.  She made sure we felt right at home.  Her attention to detail made for a comfortable and relaxed stay - from the many toys, books and crib waiting for my 10 month old to the fully stocked kitchen and bathroom to the carefully curated selection of magazines.  She even dropped off some olive oil and spices - just in case.  Honestly, I would live here if I could!  Bright and modern and, above all, CLEAN.  It was tastefully decorated and spacious.  

Great location.  Walking distance to some awesome eats (Barley Swine, Lick Ice Cream) and a short drive to a dozen more restaurants and food trailers.  Loved being so close to Zilker Park. 

Really made for an excellent stay in Austin!  


"
911955,7776138,2013-10-02,475556,Apollina,"Everything about the Zilker House and Mary was perfect.  The house is in a fantastic location, close to downtown, SoCo and right in SoLa; it's easy to get everywhere from there.  The house itself is so well done, beautiful kitchen and bathroom, plenty of space in the bedrooms and a roomy living and dining. Mary is a total sweetheart and super accessible. If we ever needed a thing she was right there and made sure we were completely taken care of.  She has equipped the house with everything you need to know about the area and Austin in general.  She has done this Airbnb thing right. I  highly recommend her and the Zilker House!"
911955,8783001,2013-11-18,9058020,Milan,"Spotless house. Tastefully renovated with high-end finishes and fixtures.  All done right, to standards for living in, not simply renting out. Centrally located to all.  Overall, a pleasant and effortless experience.  If looking to rent from a host who cares, this is the place for you.  "
911955,9554462,2014-01-02,4262844,Amy,"Mary's place is a real gem in one of the best parts of Austin.  The house is recently renovated and in impeccable shape.  We were in walking distance of several great bars and restaurants, and really close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. 
Mary is really nice and was always available and responsive - she lives a house over, so she's around if something comes up. We would definitely stay here our next Austin visit!"
911955,9728575,2014-01-06,764047,Lindsey,"My husband and I had a wonderful weekend getaway at the Zilker House in Austin! We needed to book a space last minute and Mary was extremely accommodating and welcoming. The house was nicely renovated, clean and decorated beautifully. Close to S Congress and other great locations! Mary was very kind and made her self available to us; great host! We will definitely come and stay again!!! "
911955,9853348,2014-01-14,10652924,Lous,We loved our stay here. The house was beautiful and spotless. The location was wonderful and Mary was available for anything we needed. Highly recommend. 
911955,10046848,2014-01-27,1576254,Andrew,"Beautifully renovated house in a beautiful South Austin neighborhood, very convenient to South Congress, Zilker Park, downtown, and other locations. We look forward to returning."
911955,10101935,2014-01-31,10719008,Matthew,Great place. Spacious. Modern. Well equipped. Excellent and responsive host. Provides good local info for your stay - like menus of restaurants. Good location. Loved our stay here!
911955,10148984,2014-02-03,3849989,Laura,"An amazing house, even more lovely in person. Great location, beautiful details. We would love to stay there again. "
911955,10901689,2014-03-12,9584573,Joseph,"Couldn't have asked for better accommodations or location.  We were in Austin for SXSW and it was a nice reprieve to have a homestead away from the party scene.  House is adorable and furnished smartly with vintage mid-century pieces.  Kitchen and bathroom are updated with top-of-the-line finishes. Mary couldn't have been a better host, communicating quickly and making sure our needs were met (leaving bikes for our use was a great touch).  Only suggestion would be to provide more lamps for ambient lighting.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
911955,11263275,2014-03-27,12303559,Jeannine,"Great neighborhood. We could walk, bike or bus anywhere that we wanted to go. The house was cute, clean and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!"
911955,11473805,2014-04-04,13322161,Meredith,"Lovely, simple clean house with nice design central to lots of what we wanted to do in Austin. Nice proximity to Phoenicia Bakery, ABGB, and Zilker Park! We would certainly recommend the house to others and stay there again ourselves. Host was flexible and set up a mini crib for our daughter at the last minute. We were all quite happy. Thanks for helping make our trip easy and great!"
911955,11699464,2014-04-12,13876173,Susan,We enjoyed meeting Mary and hearing about the remodel of her very cute comfortable house.  We know the area well so didn't need much help getting around.  We love the walking accessibility of shops restaurants etc.  Mary was great responding to a cable TV problem we had. Very patient with our low tech skills.  The house exceeded our expectations-- love the neighborhood.
911955,11792929,2014-04-15,3285186,Lauren,Great stay!  Perfect location close to everything or a very short cab ride away.  The home was stocked with everything you could possible need and was very cean. 
911955,11950806,2014-04-20,11914463,Kathryn,"Zilker House is absolutely charming and was perfect for our family of four. In fact, our sixteen year old son remarked, ""This would be a great crash-pad for me!"". The decor is lovely: mid-century modern meets rustic chic is how I would describe it. Mary is a kind and considerate host; the house is incredibly clean, comfortable and well-stocked. The location is perfect, too. We loved zipping over to South Congress for coffee and exploring South Central Austin. We will definitely stay here again next time we return to Austin (which is at least every couple of years so our Texas-born son can reconnect with his roots!)."
911955,12159348,2014-04-24,13536351,Miriam,"Zilker house is a gem. An exquisite house with gorgeous mid century decor. Private and peaceful yet Lamar is just around the corner. An exceptional rental. 
Thanks for making our stay a sheer delight. "
911955,12763493,2014-05-10,2109383,Bj,"Great house, great location. Mary was very accommodating and responsive. Thanks again!"
911955,13013915,2014-05-17,2109383,Bj,Zilker house location is great. Amenities are spot on in the house. The furniture and decorations are really cool. The host is fantastic. I'm traveling there weekly and would gladly stay here every week if it was available!
911955,13651363,2014-06-02,6028501,Jeff,Mary's house was perfect and close to some of the best restaurants in town.  Highly recommended. 
911955,16339641,2014-07-26,6018836,Steven,"Mary's house was a great stay. Perfect location in Austin, there's great restaurants in walking distance and the house was very clean and comfortable I would highly recommend staying in her house, thanks again Mary!"
911955,16728210,2014-08-01,17479493,Justin,We stayed in the Zilker House with our two kids.  The Zilker House looks really great in the pictures.  It is even better in person.  The property and furnishings were superb.  The location is extremely convenient.  We stayed in the middle of summer and the AC kept the place comfortable at all times.  Mary was great.  She even helped us get to know the area a little better.  I really can't say enough great things about our stay and our host.  
911955,16878176,2014-08-03,19251568,Nick,"Mary is an amazing, accommodating hostess. I was looking for a rental with same-day notice, and she responded quickly. She was attentive to inquiries during my stay, and even mailed some items I left afterwards. She definitely gets 5 stars, or 10, or whatever the max is on your scale. 

The house draws on several different styles, so there's bound to be one you like. Modern, meets minimalism, meets mid-century, meets turn-of-the, meets suburban amenities. The finish is nice, with new appliances, cabinets, paint, counters, and vintage furniture to round it out. It's a hybrid experience, somewhere between house and hotel complete with towels and a stocked Keurig coffee maker. Immaculately clean.

The neighborhood has several restaurants and bars within walking distance, and most importantly, is close enough for a walk to Barton Springs and Zilker Park.

"
911955,17484651,2014-08-12,19539827,Aileen,Love loved this cute little place.  Mary was very responsive and attentive to our needs.  I will defiantly come again next time we are in Austin.
911955,17598837,2014-08-14,19541455,Derek,"Wonderful house, amazing location for anyone wanting close proximity to Zilker park and SoCo. We biked down to the river to rent kayaks and it was a great little ride. House was very clean, and very pleasant to wake up in. Would definitely recommend, and would stay again."
911955,19160454,2014-09-07,20542830,Austin,"The Zilker house was perfect for our trip! Exactly like the photos. It was our first time to Austin and we had no idea how good the location was. Great restaurants, coffee, and bars within walking distance. Also very easy to get around on the bikes they supply. The house was clean and very baby friendly. Mary was also very helpful and accommodating. We really could not ask for more."
911955,20134560,2014-09-24,2518941,Annick,"Mary is an amazing host.
She is easy going and was very nice when I made various changes to the reservation. The place is amazing. It's a charming little house in a quiet and safe neighbourhood off South Lamar. We were attending a film festival and the location was 12 min away on foot, which was absolutely perfect because we didn't want to rent a car.
There's a SevenEleven and a CVS not too far from the house, both reachable on foot and open 24/7. I can highly recommend Mary and her place. It was a sincere pleasure staying at her house."
911955,20344510,2014-09-28,5253644,Becky,We had a wonderful weekend at the Zilker House.  The house was exactly as described in the listing.  Very clean and comfortable.  The booklet that has restaurant suggestion was very helpful to find a local place to eat.  Would love to book the house again for a return trip to Austin!
911955,20549149,2014-10-01,16760186,Denise,"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Zilker house. It's a great location, easy to get most anywhere. It's in a quiet neighborhood. The house is spotless and comfortable. So much nicer than staying in a hotel.  We would stay here or one of Mary's other listings again. Thank you Mary!"
911955,20743464,2014-10-05,3045789,Ashley,"How was great!  About 10-15 minute walk to Zilker Park and Barton Springs.  It was clean and cutely decorated.  Mary was easy to communicate with, I would definitely recommend!"
911955,20996927,2014-10-09,83051,Manuela,"Absolutely gorgeous house, fully equipped, in a fantastic neighborhood. I couldn't recommend it more strongly! One small word of caution, though: if you have any difficulty with balance, the shower might be an issue. It's a gorgeous Victorian tub with a shower, but you have to climb to get in it, and there's really not a steady place to hold on to. It wouldn't be a problem for the great majority of people, but it made a little insecure (I'm pregnant, and that not that perfectly balanced!). Otherwise, incredible place, highly recommended!"
911955,21192721,2014-10-13,14421938,Sidney,"Mary was an excellent host. The Zilker House was clean, complete with amenities promised, modern, yet rustic and simple, yet charming. Convenient to Austin amenities, particularly Zilker Park - there are some fine bistros within walking distance (will warn you about the steep hills on the short distances - uber is everywhere).

Comfortably slept, showered and fed four adults. Thanks Mary."
911955,21653359,2014-10-21,14093935,Iris,"The Zilker house is beautiful! It was the perfect location between south congress and oak hill. There were four of us and it was the perfect amount of space. We didn't see our host but we were in and out for the wedding. We did need more wash cloths but I let Mary know and they were at the back door. Overall, it was a great space with a beautiful woodwork and new appliances. "
911955,22575030,2014-11-10,7065685,Butch,This is a great house in a quiet neighborhood.Everything was very clean and fully stocked when we showed up.We had 6 people stay for a week and it worked fine for us.We never ran out of hot water in the morning and the washer and dryer along with a new dishwasher made life much easier.The keypad at the back door made life easy for everyone coming and going. No keys to lose.I would stay here again without hesitation.  
911955,22896319,2014-11-17,22347730,Nicole,"The Zilker House was terrific - exactly what we were looking for. The location is great - very central, close to all that's happening in downtown and South Austin, including great restaurants, good shopping, and Town Lake trails. Yet it's also on a quiet street and it feels very private. The house itself is charming and captured well by the pictures. Furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. There's a photo book with pics of the house renovations, which is a lovely touch - fun to see and gives a nice personal touch to the house. Hosts were very responsive but nicely low-key. We'd happily stay here again!  "
911955,23060889,2014-11-22,941890,Larissa,"Great house, very clean and nicely remodeled.  Super location - wonderful neighborhood to walk around and walking distance to lots of eateries etc.  "
911955,23165772,2014-11-24,23046466,Alexander,"The house was exactly as listed. It was very clean, had plenty of towels (very important) and was in a great location. The TV was a little spotty when it rained, but the board games were big hit when the TV was down. I would definitely stay there again.  "
911955,23645210,2014-12-07,23758462,Paul,"Mary was a wonderful host. We traveled for the first time with our newborn and she made things easy as pie. She sent regular correspondence(but not too much!) leading up to the trip to make sure things were in order. She provided cribs, toys, and anything else we could need. The neighborhood provides easy access to everything and the house was perfect...exactly as listed. "
911955,25281319,2015-01-11,17362528,Kevin,Mary was very nice and informative about the neighborhood. Great host and would love to stay there again! 
911955,25634556,2015-01-21,3485735,Kilian,I had a really wonderful time at the Zilker House. Mary has the place perfectly organised. It was a really smooth experience end to end and if I visit Austin again I hope to return to this spot. 
911955,25894224,2015-01-28,6792966,Gabriel,Great house in a good location for access to Austin. 
911955,25938459,2015-01-30,4327190,Stacey,"Great location, communication and more! Highly recommended. "
911955,27987415,2015-03-16,14735372,Kirstin,"Thank you so much Mary! The house is beautiful and the neighbourhood is fantastic. And the coffee was much appreciated : )
"
911955,28298550,2015-03-22,19989949,Jorge,"It was awesome! Just a short drive to Sxsw and not that bad of traffic! Nice place, people and tons of nice food spots! I highly recommend"
911955,28563517,2015-03-26,13617946,Chris,"We can't say enough wonderful things about this house. It was perfect for our trip to Austin. We were traveling with our toddler and we arrived to find a crib and a basket full of toys. The house is beautifully appointed yet very comfortable, and the location is hard to beat. We'll definitely look to stay here next time we're in Austin, and have already recommended it to several friends.  

When traveling with a child, I've learned it's lovely to have all the amenities of home, and this place fit that bill (full kitchen, laundry, fenced yard, etc.) It made for a very relaxing and easy stay. 

I had one question for Mary while we were there and she was incredibly prompt in her reply. An excellent host - accessible and helpful, but never in the way. You won't regret booking this space."
911955,30658658,2015-04-26,9841231,Andrea,"This house is lovely and jut as described and pictured. It is in a great location. We rented it for our wedding weekend when we got married at Umlauf- which made it really convenient. 

Mary was a good host- gave us our privacy but was available quickly if needed.

The back house was rented at the same time, but it was no issue. The other guests were very polite and quiet. 

Wish I owned this place! Would love to rent again. "
911955,30893269,2015-04-28,30943787,Melanie,"We loved our stay at the zilker house! It was bright, beautiful and clean! Mary was super helpful and responsive. I personally appreciated the keurig. We also were grateful for the portable crib and second bedroom that allowed us to have some quiet after the kids went to sleep. The house was close to so much good food, shopping, and fun walks through the neighborhood and nearby park."
911955,31374200,2015-05-04,31484634,Ben,Awesome location and house! great great experience!
911955,31651009,2015-05-08,30161968,Ari,"We just got back from Austin and have to say that we loved our stay at the Zilker House. It was absolutely as advertised - immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and in a super convenient spot. We traveled with our 5-year old son and the layout/setup was perfect for us.   The host was a pleasure to deal with. If we come back to Austin, this is where we will want to stay!"
911955,32784117,2015-05-21,18747181,Mandeep,"Great bungalow, quiet neighborhood.  Beds were awesome and the property was just about right for us to spend a week at work.

"
911955,33062482,2015-05-25,25326477,Jeanne,We would come back in a heartbeat! The house was exactly as shown in the pictures and immaculate. The location was perfect  - South Austin literally out the door and Austin proper a short drive away.  Thank you Mary! 
911955,34539673,2015-06-09,31756877,Louise,"We liked the neighborhood, very convenient to airport as well as downtown sites we wanted to visit. it was lots of fun exploring the area for hidden food-truck treasures."
911955,35199452,2015-06-16,4383596,Sarah,"The Zilker house is conveniently located, being a good walk or short bike ride to both South Congress and Zilker park!  The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed.  Mary was quick to respond to any questions we had and swung by the house immediately when we couldn't locate the bike key. On the second day of our say, we noticed someone had been in the house (only because an extra light was left on in one of the bedrooms) with all of our stuff and without any heads up.  Mary was again quick to respond to my concern and said that the housekeeper wasn't sure if anyone was still there and came in to restock supplies.  With our stuff everywhere, it was pretty obvious that we were staying there and after opening the door, there was no need to come all the way in to the house and bedrooms.   Other than that mix up, our stay was fabulous. "
911955,36039856,2015-06-24,3175920,Jasmine,"This house is lovely. It's set up just so--not too fussy, not austere. It was comfortable, clean and in a great location. The neighborhood was convenient to everything we wanted to do: drinks downtown, Barton Springs and lots of food trucks. Plus, there was a high chair for us to use for baby! The little fenced yard was a nice place to take a break and the kitchen had everything we needed. Our host was very responsive and we would stay here again in a heartbeat."
911955,36589939,2015-06-29,35662447,Bonnie,"The listing description was completely accurate, and the house was perfect.  Beautiful and quaint and in a great location!!  Mary was a great host.  Thanks for having us!"
911955,37289867,2015-07-06,5835603,Sean,"The Zilker House was perfect for our first Austin trip. Mary was easy to stay in touch with and quick to respond when needed. The house is in a quiet, cute part of town with easy and quick access to all sorts of wonderful Austin sights. It was clear to see that the house is well looked after with everything in working order and stocked full of all the essentials. Thank you and if we ever make it back to Austin, we'll definitely stay here again! "
911955,37945977,2015-07-12,11230029,Anna,The house was in perfect condition when we arrived and was super comfortable for our two night stay. It is in a super convenient location with lots of things within walking distance. 
911955,39022824,2015-07-20,29578861,Tiffanie,"This house was BEAUTIFUL. 

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Zilker House for 5 nights during a fun vacation trip to Austin and this was the perfect location. We were a short drive to South Congress, Barton Springs, Downtown, etc... Not being familiar with Austin, we found no problem getting around and this house made it easy to travel the entire city and pop back to our centrally located home. 

The house was everything we could have wanted in a vacation rental. It was comfortable, clean, spacious, adorable. There was a handy book inside that directed us to an amazing pizza place that delivered. 

Mary was EXTREMELY helpful and responded so quickly with every question we had. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, perfectly located, beautifully designed home in a heart beat. My boyfriend and I didn't want to leave :) 

Thank you, Mary!"
911955,40949379,2015-08-03,37225915,Ann,My first airbnb was a great experience.  Location was excellent for my needs.  The house is clean and uncluttered so things don't get misplaced easily.  Definitely would rent again.  
911955,41336147,2015-08-07,30705112,Sarah,"We stayed for four nights in August and it was in the perfect location for all of the day trips that we made.  The house is close to great restaurants, parks and shopping. Very clean and comfortable and had a pack-n-play available for the baby.  Mary was a great host.  We would definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended!  "
911955,41783277,2015-08-09,16022863,Angela,We loved the house and found it to be in a very convenient location. Mary was easy to communicate with and we had no issues! 
911955,42257451,2015-08-12,5024077,James,The house was gorgeous and very well kept. It is in a great neighborhood in south-central Austin. This is an excellent choice for a nice uniquely Austin experience. Mary went out of her way to be accommodating on check in and getting us an air mattress when the 9 year old decided he wanted his own bed. A great stay! 
911955,42585982,2015-08-14,7158092,Kelli,"Mary's little home near Zilker Park is a little dream of a cottage, with two comfy bedrooms, a gorgeous, very functional kitchen, and a claw foot tub to luxuriate in. Mary was very quick and responsive to our questions. She and her husband have taken great care to restore this little place--it helped make Austin the perfect place to stay for a ""girls' getaway"" during my recent trip to Texas. Great location, too, by the way, close to restaurants, shops, and Barton Springs pool, but also out of the fray. I would definitely recommend it to others!"
911955,42861073,2015-08-16,24952244,Andrew,"Stayed 2 nights at the Zilker House. What a beautiful welcoming home! The house is close to everything you want to experience in a short stay. Bars, restaurants and food trucks are close by and even within walking distance. Plenty of kitchen space and fridge is full size. Parking for 1 car is towards the back of the house. This will be a place I will stay again if available. "
911955,45234620,2015-09-01,7849813,Martine,"My husband, our two sons (5 and 4 years old) and I have just stayed for 2 weeks at Mary's little Zilker house. Mary was a wonderful host and her beautiful house was very clean and comfortable. It also had all the amenities that we needed. When we asked Mary if she could get us some speakers for the house, she ordered them immediately and we received them a few days later. The house is bright, has a beautiful kitchen, well maintained old hardwood floors and two big bedrooms. The bathroom is very neat and clean. The little frontyard is fenced in and perfect for toddlers to run around in. This was by far the best house we've rented in Austin so far. I would highly recommend this house to anyone who needs a vacation rental in Texas."
911955,45686914,2015-09-05,32977235,Stephen,"The house was great and the location was better. The house was so central and close to everything (Kerbey Lane, Shake Shack, Zilker Park, Barley Swine, downtown, etc.). "
911955,45925208,2015-09-07,11914463,Kathryn,"This is our second stay at Zilker House (first time was April 2014). This is the perfect location (and the perfect little house) to experience the best Austin has to offer. The house is immaculate, comfortable and really beautifully decorated (we adore mid-century modern). Mary is an excellent host; everything was just wonderful for our family of four. We will definitely rent with Mary again - next time we are in Austin!"
911955,46285387,2015-09-09,29476435,Amy,Mary was so helpful-and our cottage was spotless and very well appointed! We loved our stay and we can't wait to go back! Thank you Mary for your advice and your help during our stay. 
911955,46724664,2015-09-13,12645242,Lindsay,"Mary's house was perfect. It was clean, welcoming, and the private front yard was a beautiful place to have coffee in the morning. I would gladly stay here again!"
911955,47277268,2015-09-17,37512734,Donna,The Zilker house was even nicer than described! Mary was gracious and Austin delivered.
911955,48979805,2015-09-30,2518941,Annick,The Zilker House is just a pleasure to stay at. It's the second year I am renting it and the location is just perfect. I was here for the Fantastic Fest and the house is so close to the Alamo South Lamar that you can walk there. Mary is a great host and she has been very accommodating. I will most certainly rent this place again.
911955,49245244,2015-10-02,43459512,Wendi,"The house was as expected and very nice as well as comfortable. We had a few hiccups but Mary or her husband were very accommodating, we would definitely recommend anyone to stay here, in fact the friends we went to see in Austin will also recommend to their family when they visit. You are in walking distance to a variety of food, entertainment as well. Thank you we had a great stay."
911955,50080465,2015-10-09,2112799,Dayna,"The home was wonderful and it was a great stay. It was decorated perfectly and the design was beautiful. There was the perfect amount of space. Close to amenities on South Lamar, shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this home. "
911955,50428016,2015-10-12,32672241,Steve,Great location for ACL.  Nice blend of rustic charm and up-to-date style and appliances.  Mary was great to deal with and very responsive when we had questions.  Would definitely stay here again.
911955,50780815,2015-10-14,1833732,Silvia,Absolutley loved this place! It was immaculate and very well designed.  Highly recommend 
911955,51613159,2015-10-22,25037405,Kelly,Adorable Austin home! Loved our stay. Convenient location! Mary was quick to resolve a little TV issue. Definitely would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin :)
1659722,47217808,2015-09-16,9322049,Kees,"Everything was well arranged by Anais. The room was spacious with an own bathroom. From the location near the FM 2222 I could quickly drive downtown. Next time I have to be in Austin, I hope this room is available again."
668941,2645974,2012-10-17,3840597,Wilson,"Lindsay was very nice and accommodating; the restaurant (South Congress Cafe) she recommended was extremely good.  The downstairs bedroom in the separate duplex was very nice and comfortable, and the location couldn't be better for S. Congress and even the short drive across the bridge to downtown and The University.  The safe off-street parking was nice because the two of us were in separate cars.

Highly recommended."
668941,3123882,2012-12-20,3975808,Paula,Lindsay was  a great host.  Very quick to respond to emails or phone calls and very helpful.  The space was very clean and perfect as a pleasant alternative to staying in the hotel.  Neighborhood is awesome.  Close to everything.  I would definitely recommend staying here!
668941,3358064,2013-01-16,2702770,Donald,Lindsay and Ras were terrific hosts!  Loved my room and it was exactly as described. Tried to reserve for my next trip to Austin but already taken. Can't wait for my next stay with Lindsay R. !
668941,3617055,2013-02-26,4631500,Elin,"We had a wonderful stay at Lindsay's place! Perfect location, quiet neighborhood and ten minutes by foot from South Congress Avenue. Since this was our first airbnb-experience we didn't know what to expect but we couldn't really have asked for more. Everything as described, clean and we got a very warm welcoming. Thank you very much, would love to stay there again if we visit Austin again! 

"
668941,3773360,2013-03-13,4990841,Katie,"This place was absolutely delightful.  The location was perfect.  The place was clean, cozy, and felt just like home.  I didn't want to leave.  Lindsay was incredibly responsive and helpful.  I highly recommend this SOCO Hideaway!"
668941,3830971,2013-03-19,3704662,Josh,This was my first time using Airbnb and I was really impressed. I did not know what to expect but Lindsay was very quick to respond always before and during my stay which made me far more confident. The place was perfect but not only that she obviously went well beyond what anyone would expect by making my stay extra comfortable. Highly recommended. Thanks Lindsay
668941,4226815,2013-04-20,598354,Nancy,Lovely room in a great location!
668941,4741607,2013-05-23,5021930,Barbara,"This was a clean, very acceptable place where, for the most part, I enjoyed my stay very much.  "
668941,8473801,2013-11-01,4265995,Lacey (& Justin),The room was perfect for our trip! It had everything we needed and nothing we didn't. The size was just right for my husband and I. The kitchenette was perfect for heating up leftovers from the amazing restaurants nearby. The place was nicely decorated and the shower's water pressure was awesome after a long day. The location was perfect! It was so close to South Congress and all it had to offer. Would definitely stay here again!
668941,11169078,2014-03-24,4704108,Nick,Lindsay was very helpful in organising our stay. The room was everything we expected and we were very happy with it.
668941,11252150,2014-03-26,12570521,Kayla,We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was in the best location for what we had planned for the week. We will try to stay here every time we visit Austin. 
668941,11792279,2014-04-15,11638489,Blake,"Lindsay was very accommodating and friendly.  The neighborhood is great too -- only a few blocks away from S Congress Ave, which has some great places to eat and leads directly into downtown.  The room was spotless and even came with some extra goodies in the cupboard.  The building is sufficiently tucked away from the road to make the room quiet and allow for some great rest.  Outside, there's a small patio area shaded by trees where you can sit and enjoy your coffee.  In the morning, the trees partially filter the light coming in through the windows to let in just enough light to wake you up.  There's a little window above the shower (privacy-safe) that you can open to catch a breeze while you're taking a shower.  Overall, it's a very relaxing place to stay while on vacation in Austin."
668941,13082098,2014-05-19,4922213,Amarette,"The little apartment is absolutely adorable and perfect for a weekend getaway to Austin. The whole booking process and communicating with Lindsey was easy. Lindsey was very helpful throughout the whole process, even though we never actually met her. The apartment is on the same property of another rental.  My boyfriend brought his dogs and they loved the yard. "
668941,17064283,2014-08-06,235033,Angela,"This review is for the 2 bedroom place at the same address as we were upgraded just before check in. We were very pleased with this stay. The place is beautifully furnished and had a great (and well needed) air con system. Lindsay was easily reached on phone and always happy to help. It is a little far out of town if you don't have a car, but we managed buses and walking even in the Austin August heat!"
668941,19074829,2014-09-06,7918977,Alaine,"The SoCo Hideaway worked out well for our stay of 3 nights in Austin. It was about a 10 minute walk up to South Congress St and about a 25-30 minute walk to the heart of Downtown. If you have a car it's really easy to get everywhere in Austin and there's plenty of street parking at the apartment. 
The bed was comfy and it had everything we needed. It would've helped if there was some sort of information document with instructions on where things were kept and directions of how to get places, but the wifi was good so we could easily google where exactly we were situated in relation to the area.
There was only one spoon in the kitchen and there were two of us staying so we had to use a plastic spoon for cereal in the mornings but that wasn't a big deal. With a little bit more detail given the apartment would've been up there with other awesome Airbnb places we've stayed.
The only real negative was the air conditioning is controlled from the apartment upstairs, so we did not have access to this. We texted Lindsay to adjust the temperature and she got onto it straight away (she could adjust it from her cell phone) but it would have been much better if we could adjust the temperature ourselves. We did wake up hot one night but obviously couldn't text Lindsay to adjust the temp at 1am.
Other than this, we had a great stay in Austin and Lindsay was a great host with excellent communication. "
668941,21095559,2014-10-11,20827036,Ben,"Lindsay made me feel very welcome. The room was private, clean and had everything I needed for a few days in Austin."
668941,26775074,2015-02-19,893759,Parker,"The place was clean and exactly as described. The location was nice. I had some internet issues, but Lindsay and her husband worked with the internet company to resolve those. "
668941,27854135,2015-03-13,28322562,Milo,"This place was super clean and comfortable. The bed is soft like a cloud, beautiful. It's compact, but has everything you will need. Great neighbourhood, short walk to SOCO. Lindsay was quick to respond and was gracious enough to grant my last minute request of holding my luggage for the day.  I can highly recommend this place :)"
668941,28182452,2015-03-19,450483,Lindy,"The space was cute and comfortable in a great neighborhood. I appreciated the basic toiletries that were provided. Although I didn't get a chance to meet Lindsay, communication was really easy and she was fast to respond.  "
668941,28459757,2015-03-24,6253375,Jenny,"This is a cute little room in a very quiet neighbourhood but only 10 minutes walk to South Congress. It takes about 25-30 minutes to cross the bridge and walk into downtown from there. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had plenty of hot water. There is a small kitchenette with limited facilities. We were in town for SXSW so did not spend much time at the room but it suited us fine.  The room is located in the back garden of a large detached property which appears to be rented out and there is another place immediately above you. The communication with Lindsay and her property manager was speedy but we had no personal contact with anyone whilst we were in Austin - the keys were hidden for us when we arrived and we did the same on departure. Having travelled 13 hours to Texas, it would have been nice to have someone to meet and welcome us, if only for a couple of minutes!"
668941,29164597,2015-04-05,8727297,Sarah,"The hideaway was clean, cozy and comfortable.  The basic toiletries were provided were of good quality and in ample supply.  The location was perfect, easy access to SoCo and in a lovely neighborhood.  Lindsay was responsive and welcoming.  Check-in and check out were simple."
668941,29831471,2015-04-13,11638489,Blake,"Staying in this place is awesome. It really is a ""hideaway"" in south congress.  The location is ideal too, right next to a ton of great restaurants and places to visit.  The host is honest and hospitable.  Very clean and beautiful patio area. Really can't say anything bad about this place at all. "
668941,31074626,2015-05-01,3838067,Anna,"The place was perfect! Lovely neighborhood, easy in and out, adorable studio with a lovely yard for lounging."
668941,34121441,2015-06-05,2751247,Al,"Always feel welcome & it's a true hideaway, yet in a great neighborhood to walk and close to Congress. Love coming back here when we're in Austin!"
668941,35121835,2015-06-15,33741289,Matthew,"With the little contact we had with the host, she was prompt and very helpful. Everything was just as described. It was walkable technically. The area felt very safe and had a friendly atmosphere. The distance to south congress st was further than we anticipated. Being tourists we relied on the rental car more than we had hoped. The air conditioning got a little hot at night and there is not a thermostat in the unit. Having the ceiling fan on high solved this problem. Overall this unit was well worth the price and fully stocked with necessary amenities. "
668941,41612034,2015-08-08,34852247,Mara Monserrat,Lindsay perfectly described the place and was very responsive before and during our stay.  It was a lovely neighborhood very close to all the excitement.  
668941,41895888,2015-08-09,23664661,Valerie,"Lindsay's place was wonderful to stay at, the yard and the place itself was very well kept and clean. It was in great proximity to everything and easy to access. Also one of the comfiest beds I've ever stay in. The location was awesome as well. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. "
668941,46049020,2015-09-07,11081238,E,Great location! 
668941,48907273,2015-09-29,27058007,Haider,"We had an overall good experience staying at this rental. The check-in instructions were very clear and simple and the location was as ideal as it could be. There was absolutely no human interaction during our entire stay at the property and we didn't seem to mind. The room was comfortable and had a lot of useful amenities from candles to kitchen supplies, a fridge and a microwave. The Bamboo bush outside the window was also a really nice touch. There were some cleanliness issues, though, when it came to the rug on the couch, the stained towels in the bathroom and the cockroach problem in the shower. The yard outside was beautiful and we could have spent more time there had the patio furniture been dusted or cleaned. The whole property could be maintained better, in our opinion. Aside from those few things, we had a very comfortable stay."
668941,49196797,2015-10-01,10366325,Mathew,I didn't deal with Lindsay directly but she and her associates were quick to respond to my texts and emails. The room was comfortable and located in a nice neighborhood. 
668941,49969544,2015-10-08,12179752,Rebeca,"We had such a great time staying at this location. It was super clean, comfortable, and easy to get to. Lindsay is very responsive if you need anything or have any problems.  The bed is also fantastic, better then a lot of hotels I have stayed in.  We would absolutely come back to this spot!"
668941,50827654,2015-10-15,10139080,Megan,"Great experience, good location, clean and comfortable. Host is easy to communicate with, all of our needs were met. "
668941,51611915,2015-10-22,40826287,Vicki,"Great neighborhood! Close to South Congress, if you don't mind walking about 15 minutes. We were there in October & still took Uber a couple times, because it was too hot to walk. The Uber ride was only about $5 - $6 each time & always there in less than 10 minutes. Access to the back yard was very nice. The only complaint was that there is no thermostat  in the room. On several occasions the room got very warm, even after we complained about the room being too warm.  The bed is incredibly comfortable.  
It's well worth the price for the area & convenience. "
5458325,28101586,2015-03-17,16937124,Rob,Charlie was great and very responsive. The place was very easy to get to from downtown. 
5458325,28271543,2015-03-21,9891839,Dustin,"I enjoyed my stay. Charlie's place was as he described it, and, best of all, it's just steps from a MetroRail stop. Charlie himself was very welcoming, and interesting in conversation."
5458325,28842151,2015-03-30,11250198,Miriam,I rented Charlie's place for my son Ryan that was attending Off The Edge World Tour. Ryan loved the place and said Charlie was very down to earth. The location was perfect. 
5458325,33204230,2015-05-25,33917865,Eric,Place as described; good communication with owner.

5458325,50527728,2015-10-12,44965205,Victoria,Made us feel very welcome and was really friendly and inviting. The neighborhood was perfect and easy to navigate. There was enough space for all of us and we felt very at home
1592098,10903045,2014-03-12,704590,Jeffrey,"Staying in Sofia's apt was a delight. The room was simple, clean and comfy. Sofia is such a warm person - picked me up at the airport and is very friendly to talk to. I stayed during SXSW and took advantage of the bike (10 mins easy ride into town - med difficulty back) and the bus, which stops right outside. It's also a short walk to Torchy's - one of the best tacos I've had in Austin. "

1592098,28515140,2015-03-25,1576246,Jess,"Sofia is lovely, and the kind of person that welcomes you into her home. She was really friendly and social and there were always new friends to meet and things to do.

Sofia upgraded us to the larger room with no extra fee which was lovely and airy. The house is situated on a main road though so there is a little bit of street noise.

We were unsure about the neighbourhood at first, but that was to the untrained, first-time in Texas eye, and we soon found out that that area of Austin is actually a trendy new area.
Everything was accessible pretty easily by bus or uber. The bus into town took 10 minutes and came on an average of about 20 mins. SOCO and SOFI (two trendy areas) were just up the road.

Sofia is really such a generous host, and upgraded us for free, bought us bagels and beer no extra charge and generally is a really lovely, sunshine-y person!"
1592098,28745287,2015-03-29,24538682,Beth,"Good location to explore Austin. Lots of nightlife downtown and on Rainey Street and it’s not right on top of that, but that was fine with us and it’s not that far away. The bus stop right across the street was really convenient, and Austin has both taxis and petty cabs to get you around at night. Plenty of parking spaces for our car in the apartment complex’s parking lot. Sofia was available for anything we needed and very responsive. Don’t miss Torchy’s Tacos. Great shopping around Allen’s Boots. Lots and lots of food trucks on First Street going towards the city. The bathroom needs improvement, but it’s an old building. Our room was clean/simple/nice. Laundry machines are available at the complex. "
1592098,29863024,2015-04-13,29878801,Dale,"Although the complex was a little deceiving, the townhouse is very cozy. The neighborhood is nice with some good restaurants within walking distance. Sofia contacted me frequently to make sure everything was okay since she was out of town. The room itself is comfortable."
1592098,49125324,2015-10-01,35602205,Lauren,Sofia is incredibly helpful and everything was exactly as expected.

1592098,49893868,2015-10-07,41416044,Kysa,"Sophia was a wonderful host! From day one she made it clear that she was easy to contact and would respond to all my questions and needs so quickly.  It was our first time in Austin, and she gave us amazing references while we were there.  The location is perfect for events at Zilker Park and there is a bus stop right outside of the apartment which made it easy to travel, if you don't have a way of transportation. The apartment was so cozy and Sophia continuously checking in with me to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.  The only downside was that we weren't able to meet this sweetheart in person because I know we'd end up being great friends. "
945803,3785922,2013-03-14,3232512,Tess,"This was a great, affordable accommodation option for us during the South by South West festival.  Jim O's place is very accessible via bus from downtown Austin .  While we experienced some difficulties making contact with Jim on our day of arrival and the other residents at the property were not aware of our booking, this was soon quickly resolved and we had a pleasant stay.  "
945803,3838026,2013-03-19,5238057,Ben,"First class stay at Jim O's place. I couldn't imagine a better host than Jim O'. He's friendly and laid back, as well as thoughtful and attentive. The night I arrived, my bag was lost in the Austin airport. When the airport baggage service delivered it to Jim's place, at 4:30am, he got out of bed to receive it - what a guy! The property is great for camping, the facilities are well kept. Good vibes. "
945803,11731449,2014-04-13,14104065,Nicholas,I camped out here for a couple nights.  Nice retreat from the chaos of the city but still bike-ably close to everything.  Everyone was very open and welcoming.
945803,12318005,2014-04-28,12503706,Eve,"Jim was a wonderful, welcoming and accommodating host, and the place is spacious and full of charm. I had a great time chatting with Jim and others."
945803,20536354,2014-09-30,10684933,Dezbah,"Had a pretty fantastic two days at Jim O's little plot of heaven down by the creek in South Austin. It was close to everything and everyone there was really welcoming and kind. Fresh coffee in the morning and a deer got close as I showered in the fantastic outdoor shower. The goats are so sweet and adorable. It has a funky vibe, great place for creative types and anyone who wants a friendly Austin experience. "
945803,22717944,2014-11-12,21134623,Fanny,It was a wonderful experience in Ez camp side. It just perfect. Jim and Fran are a very good and kind person. I sure I will come back. Thank you again for all. A see you soon. :)
945803,22853661,2014-11-16,23152052,Kate,Everything went really well from the start. It was easy to get to and from the place. The potluck was great. Jim and Fran are really easy to be around. It was a comfortable experience from the start. I would definitely come back! Thank you all!
945803,23285254,2014-11-27,18616997,Stephen &,"What a perfect place with so many hidden extra's! We arrived late due to our bus but jim o still was happy to show us a good spot to pitch our tent and show us around a little. Really beautiful area, very rustic and tons of character. We loved our stay!"
945803,27954701,2015-03-15,28476074,Corianna,"Everyone was very friendly and helpful, especially when our tent flooded following a few days of steady rain. There's a nice community atmosphere, and I would recommend staying if you're into meeting fun, new people."
945803,28107112,2015-03-17,4365784,Greg,"Jim & everyone there were most welcoming. The space was as described - a bring-your-own camping space with rustic facilities & something of a hippie vibe. Totally fitting for Austin & a fantastic, quiet retreat from the normal hustle & bustle of city life. I'm glad my travels wandered through Jim's neck of the woods & next time I'm on a camping road trip through the heart of Texas, I'll be sure to check his availability. "
945803,28470256,2015-03-24,17525827,Kate,"We loved it here. Jim's property is beautiful and right off South Congress and the bus line. We camped-there were plenty of options for setting your tent up. There is also a clean and virtually odorless composting outhouse, 2 outdoor showers (with hot water), and a kitchenette with gas range and fridge. Tons of plug-ins up at the kitchen so you can charge your gadgets.
We felt welcomed by everyone there- hosts and other guests. You can have as little or as much interaction with others as you like. 
The goats are fun to watch and give pets to. They love tortilla chips. There are hens as well. They also love snacks. 
I really loved staying here and I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin. It was a great respite after loud and busy days. 
I would definitely bring bug spray if you're camping in the warm months. There's a creek and lots of lush grass. We didn't have any problems in March, but it was cool and rainy."
945803,28898639,2015-03-31,29237170,Laura,A cool way to hang out in Austin.. camping at a mellow place like Jim O's was great. Wish I'd had another day to spend and go for a goat walk!
945803,30430980,2015-04-21,31117764,Adam,Jim was away when I was there but Fran was extremely nice and accommodating. The others that live in the community are very nice too and made me feel welcome. It is a rustic place but certainly adequate for anyone who's ever camped before. Composting toilet and outdoor shower with plenty of privacy were no problem.
945803,32931921,2015-05-23,33319067,Jeff,If you're coming to Austin and enjoy camping under the stars this place will do for you.  The people are friendly and allow you to pick your own spot.  You're only about 20 minutes away from heart of downtown by bike or bus. For those on a budget it's perfect!
945803,34560993,2015-06-09,7555787,Tracey,"Great place, nice people. EZ, for sure."
945803,34890993,2015-06-13,31578084,Jakob,"Very beautiful nature, a nice little river and a good community feeling made it a pleasant stay. For the price, downtown is easy to reach and if you want to come to have a rest you have a nice spot to hang out."
945803,35167554,2015-06-15,34826564,Nicole,"Our host Jim O' was excellent and very accommodating! I am a tour leader that brought my group to Austin here for the 1st time and it was certainly an experience. They loved the quirky atmosphere, farm animals and rustic outdoor showers. The camping area was massive and the party lights, picnic tables, benches, fire ring and giant fan were much appreciated. We did have some bad luck with weather our last day and had to leave early due to an area flood warning (camping area is right next to a flood prone creek), and ended up being stuck in the mud for 4 hours until lovely Mr. Jim O' could pull us out with his tractor. For those who want to camp here, I would highly suggest never pulling your car/trailer down onto the lower camping area in case of wet weather and you'll need to watch your clearance for the trees. Other than our bit of misfortune, it was a great location minutes from the South Congress action and gave us the real local feel of Austin! Would definitely come back! "
945803,37093431,2015-07-04,36346754,Emily,"My friend and I greatly enjoyed our stay at EZ Camping. Everyone we met while there was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and after long days of exploring the city, it was nice to be able to return to such a relaxing environment. We were especially impressed at the thoughtfulness put into the campsite's accommodations, what with the lights that lit both the bathroom and shower at night and the extra bug spray left out for our forgetful souls! We also appreciated the various signs with calls to action for the community to help maintain the cleanliness of the area. "
945803,39121644,2015-07-20,38583666,Patrick,Jim was an excellent host. He and his community were completely welcoming. A great environment if you are looking for an outdoor camping trip close to the city. He had the tent already set up when we arrived. His knowledge of the Austin area was great and he gave us the best recommendations.
945803,49057219,2015-09-30,44364835,Paul,"This place is so magical. I had no idea what I was in for, and I ended up spending most of my time here in Jim O's community and hanging out with the lovely people who live there. Hell I am thinking of moving there myself. Jim O and everyone else are some of the most amazing people you'll ever meet. Love all yall"
945803,50602942,2015-10-12,46163046,Andre,"It was very accommodating and the residents were kind and welcoming. My last day, jim had plans but stayed late to give me a jump when my car died. Can't wait to go back and would recommend to anyone seeking a quiet weekend and good company. "
945803,51515390,2015-10-20,45105712,Shoko,"Jim O' was a great host. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. We got some nice tips about touring Austin. His location is fantastic, just outside the main hubbub of the South Congress neighborhood. The goats were quite cute!"
2865868,13460019,2014-05-27,15791213,Robert,"This trip was our 1st time to use airbnb and our stay with Gary and Kelly was a very pleasant experience.  The accommodations were more than we expected; they thought of everything such as a small refrigerator with water plus a coffee maker with coffee supplies.  The pictures on the airbnb listing of 'Room with a view' do not capture the beauty and serenity of what you see when you step out
on your private balcony.  The only regrets are that we didn't have time to sit and enjoy morning coffee on our balcony and that we didn't have more time to spend with our host/hostess who made us feel at home and gave us our privacy at the same time."
2865868,16921342,2014-08-04,588282,Laura,"THE BEST!! 
Fantastic hosts: available, helpful, easy going, responsive, mature.
Fabulous home: spacious, clean, private, comfortable, well appointed.
The VIEW: unparalleled, scenic, I didn't want to go anywhere else after sitting on the deck at sunset.
The overall stay: I am so happy with my stay with Gary and Kelly at their beautiful home. I felt very welcomed and accommodated without imposing."
2865868,20175887,2014-09-24,19096913,Troy,Gary and his wife were super friendly and welcoming.  They were eager to share their knowledge of the area. Their home is fabulous and the bedroom with private deck and view is a great set-up. Highly recommended!
2865868,22882951,2014-11-17,19689852,Abe,"Great experience with the hosts!  The house is beautiful and comfortable, and the room/bathroom are beautiful and have everything I needed.  The view from the room is great, couldn't use the decks as it was sooo cold :)  Hosts were great, made breakfast both days and enjoyed getting to know them.  Great that they also let you have your space and there was no pressure either way."
2865868,23959060,2014-12-15,19689852,Abe,Second time staying here.  Just as good as the first.  Very nice couple and this time I got a walk in their neighborhood which is very nice as well.
2865868,27913510,2015-03-15,14739676,Jen,Gary and Daisy were the best hosts!  They welcomed us when we were running late and the everything was exactly as shown in the listing.  The view was gorgeous from our room and playing with Daisy was icing on top of the cake.  We really enjoyed our short time in Austin and will definitely stay with Gary and Daisy next time we are in town!
2865868,28184522,2015-03-19,6467829,Antonia & Desmond,We had an excellent stay at Gary and Kelly's beautiful home! Our room  (with a balcony!) and our bathroom were lovely and super clean. Gary and Kelly gave us some Austin tips - we couldn't have asked for anything more. We'll definitely would like to stay here again if we're ever coming back to Austin! 
2865868,28354209,2015-03-22,588726,William,"Gary and Kelly were wonderful hosts. They graciously accommodated our late arrival when traffic caused us to arrive later than expected, and gave us local suggestions when the weather rained out our original plans.

They have a beautiful home and I wish the weather would have been nicer so we could have enjoyed the outdoor spaces.

Tip: The bed is smaller than a Queen, so it's a tight squeeze for two if one of you is taller than 6ft."
2865868,29872817,2015-04-13,30261554,Akhilesh,"Gary was an understanding host. I'm not sure there is anyone host out there that would do what Gary did for me. I was my first ever trip out of New York and i ended up booking the wrong location on Airbnb. 
I showed up at this beautiful house only to realize that i wont be close to where I needed to be. 
He completely understood my predicament and insisted that i look up alternate accommodation and even reimbursed the cost of my stay. 
However I must add that this place is beautiful. It overlooks the water and has an amazing view. Very quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this place to anyone."
2865868,33057662,2015-05-24,24129826,Ron,Gary and his wife are very caring and kind hosts. We got everything we need and had a great time in Austin. The room does have an awesome view!
2865868,44947066,2015-08-30,39451993,Tj,"We had such a blast! The house is beautiful, clean, & super cozy. The bed was comfy. The view was stunning. Gary and kelly we so nice and accommodating! Highly recommended!"
2865868,45711728,2015-09-05,41804138,Scott,Gary and Kelly have a wonderful home. They were so welcoming and nice to talk to. I'd definitely recommend staying with them to any Austin traveler!
2865868,46061954,2015-09-07,42873697,Claire,"Gary is a very nice host, and always replies message promptly. The house is very large, clean and pretty. I would recommend it to other travelers."
2865868,46244329,2015-09-08,27297475,Pamela,Excellent airbnb experience! Gary was extra flexible with our needs and his beautiful home was perfect for our short lake travis  getaway! Thank you so much for your hospitality!
2865868,51286829,2015-10-19,31182301,Vijay,"Gary's home was as described and simply beautiful.  He was a great host and made us feel welcome.  The bedroom was just right for a couple or an individual and we had a private bathroom.  The bedroom also had a balcony over looking the dam.  I would recommend bringing some hiking gear, because we can see the trails from above.  I would highly recommend this listing if you are in the area or like us, attending a wedding at Vintage Villas."
2865868,51929297,2015-10-25,16403891,Katherine,"The room was much better than expected. Very clean, beautiful room with view in a quite home. The location was great for the wedding we were attending. It was raining while we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the patio much but will definitely look forward to staying here while in Austin. "
1678667,11375593,2014-03-31,13205943,Connor,Great place a short drive or bus from downtown (with the bus stop a few steps away)! Joseph was a great relaxed host who provided for all of our basic needs and kept the place in excellent condition. This condo is great and definitely got the job done. One thing to keep in mind: thin walls in this complex so noise travels between units very easily.
1678667,20810591,2014-10-06,14640918,Alejandra,"Everything was great!  the condo was just as we expected! Nice and clean.

Joseph was a great host and made us feel very comfortable. 

Definitely we would stay at joseph's again!"
1678667,21198402,2014-10-13,6795544,Chris,Joseph's place was nicely remodeled. He was a great landlord and would recommend his place to others.
1678667,25520327,2015-01-18,25808028,Mary,"The description of the apartment was very accurate. The space was clean, quiet and well kept. It was perfect for a weekend.

Joseph was a great host. He accommodated our check in time that was at night as we arrived in Austin after work. 

I'd stay at his house again."
1678667,27807860,2015-03-12,27871694,Catherine,"I stayed here with a couple of friends for our spring break last week and we did not want to leave our humble abode. 
We got the place on a bit of a last minute but Joseph fixed the place to meet our needs in no time. When I met him during check in, he as helpful at letting us know the special/necessary things about the condo. The apartment itself was warm and home-like so we adjusted quickly. It was clean when we got there and it wasn't difficult to keep it like that. The location was perfect: less than 10 minutes from SoCo and less than 20 to the Capitol/UT. Although the area seems sketchy, almost all of Austin resembles that so there isn't anything to worry about. We loved our stay here and will definitely consider it in the future! "
1678667,30719979,2015-04-26,14399924,Lindsey,"It is worth noting that this spot is not a standalone condo and is housed within a larger complex of condos.  The surrounding area is not a particularly nice part of town.  That being said, the space itself was clean and quiet.  There was no shampoo or soap for the shower so be prepared to provide that but otherwise we had everything we needed (towels, bathroom tissue, hairdryer, iron and table, etc).  There were even beers in the fridge that Joseph invited us to enjoy which was an added bonus.  "
1678667,52261324,2015-10-27,45856105,Meghan,"I stayed at Joseph's condo for 10 days and I will definitely be staying here again. Some of the other reviews say that it isn't in the best area but I thought the gated community was charming; lots of children playing and always friendly smiles from the neighbours.  It's close to the airport,  close to downtown and, importantly for me,  close to Circuit of the Americas racetrack.  Normally I stay in a hotel when I come to Austin but I will never be doing that again. Why stay in a horrible hotel when you can have a 2 level,  2 bedroom,  1.5 bath condo that feels like home?   Joseph answered my questions and the condo was clean and well appointed. Definitely recommend staying here."
4205563,28124524,2015-03-18,6076590,Marcelo,"Lori was awesome. It was her first experience as an Airbnb host and we could tell she really wanted to make us feel at home.

The apartment is just as described, very short drive to downtown Austin (~$10 Uber rides), and in a very quiet neighborhood (I slept like a rock!)

Lori was always checking on us via WhatsApp to make sure everything was alright and she would even come by once a day to check the mail and see if we had anything delivered to us from Amazon or other place. She did much more than expected from a host.

I highly recommend."
4205563,28312112,2015-03-22,7240060,Siobhan,The condo was very nice and modern.  It was spacious for one bedroom and the bed was particularly comfortable.  It was a short drive to South Congress and Downtown.  All-in-all a very good experience.
1058866,4263221,2013-04-22,5991973,Vanessa,"Lu was an amazing host. She made us feel at home. Her place is very close and it is very easy to get downtown. She offered to take us to the Auditorium Shore. The reggae festival was an amazing experience, a lot of different types of ppl and everyone was so friendly. First time to try airbnb and first time in Austin and I loved both that I will go back! "
1058866,4696848,2013-05-20,3284555,Mark,"South Austin Home near EVERYTHING the owner says?  More like the home that HAS everything - a thoughtful accomodating host, comfort, cleanliness, privacy, a puppy with big paws, and artwork adorning the walls -from the talented brush strokes of the artist host herself.  
I hesitated to write a review because I would prefer this house to be available next time I'm in Austin --- word will get out and she could be booked up thru the summer. :-)"
1058866,5595081,2013-07-07,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Lu's place was really nice! Great location for people that want to explore South Austin without having to stay in the craziness. Fast, responsive and good communication. We enjoyed  it, would stay again. Thanks Lu!"
1058866,5725076,2013-07-13,7400079,Melanie,"Lu and her sweet puppy pals were great hosts. Her home was clean, private and beautiful and she had tons of recommendations to help us enjoy our stay in Austin. She was also very accommodating to our doggie!  We'll definitely stay at Lu's again next time we are in Austin!"
1058866,5777520,2013-07-15,5754237,Saurav,"Lu is an excellent host. Her place is comfortable, clean and very very welcoming. Her two wonderful dogs Clive and Peewee are super friendly. She was in constant communication with us to make sure we found the house. She even left some chocolates in the kitchen! Which we gladly devoured :)
Lu helped us figure out where to go, she told us about some really cool bars and cafes. Me and my friends had an awesome stay and would definitely recommend Lu to anyone who is visiting Austin. 
"
1058866,5972869,2013-07-24,2958623,Will,"Excellent experience!  Lu was the perfect host and had lots of good advice for where to go and what to see.  During my stay she had to go out of town for a couple of days but regularly checked in with me to make sure everything was going well.  The accommodations left little to be desired.  Clean, well appointed, and with all the modern conveniences you could want.   Her location is an easy walk from upscale grocery, theaters, and other shopping.  I didn't have a car and found the nearby bus to be a quick,affordable route to downtown and other popular areas.  This is definitely my new ""go to""place to stay in Austin..  "
1058866,6231516,2013-08-04,78420,Alicia & Cory,"We had a great time in Austin!  Lu was so helpful with recommendations for ""what to do"" and everything she suggested was just wonderful.  We had pizza at Homeslice Pizza, watched the bats fly (amazing), had ice cream at Amy's and walked up the main street with tons of fantastic shops. We had our daughter, Sarah, with us so the great night-life of the Austin bars and music escaped us this time.  We are looking forward to our next trip to Austin!"
1058866,6429712,2013-08-12,1279173,Audrey,"Lu was a great host. She is very friendly and chill. Her home is lovely and her dogs are awesome. She was home some, but let us have the run of the downstairs. She had good suggestions of things to do in the area. There were 4 of us, and even with that many, the space worked. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a place to stay in Austin. "
1058866,6834684,2013-08-26,7574851,Brady,Lu was great! She had great recommendations and even let us print our concert tickets that we forgot. We had a great time in Austin and hanging out with Lu. She was very easy going and accommodating. If we're back down that way I'm sure we'll try to stay here again!
1058866,7052040,2013-09-04,11384859,Sara,Wonderful Host and beautiful home! Thank you for your hospitality.
1058866,7890224,2013-10-07,2187273,Camille & Nathan,"Beautiful house, pictures don't do it justice! And the host was awesome and friendly! Loved all the art, her dogs, and the awesome tips she gave us on Austin! Would highly recommend this to anyone & definitely would want to stay here again! Just a couple miles away from Zilker Park and pretty close to downtown, either a short drive/bus/bike ride away! Thanks for making our ACL stay a good one! "
1058866,8408648,2013-10-29,8930467,Marcin,"Lu is a great host, very helpfull and willing to answer any questions. Location is perfect especialy if you would like to spend your time in quiet neiberhood. Close to highway, shopping area and very nice hiking, running trail on Burton creek - I loved this one.

We highly recommend this place and we would love to stay there again! "
1058866,8778753,2013-11-18,3230512,Matthew,We were staying in town for the Formula 1 race this weekend and found Wendy's place to be a great deal. We only stayed for 1 night but everything was pretty seamless and painless.

Perfect location to the main spots in town (10 minute cab drive to downtown). Lu made great recommendations and was swift in her responses when I needed suggestions. Her beautiful dogs were also friendly and welcoming.
Thanks Lu! "

A great experience in a fantastic city - thanks, Lu!"
1058866,10484020,2014-02-21,2332085,Kelli,"Lu was very accommodating and helpful if needed. I live in Austin, but I wanted my mom and her friend to stay in a fun place and I was so excited when I found this one. The place was clean & convenient and her dogs were just too precious for words. They stayed in the back yard/in a mud room so they weren't roaming the house at all, but I can't say I would have cared if they did. I did have some difficulty finding the place when I hit directions from the Airbnb app and also the map app on my phone. The address is correct, but for some reason it was taking me to the wrong place several times. Other than that we had a blast!"
1058866,10670950,2014-03-02,9428904,Gretel,Lu's place was great. Austin was so much fun with warm weather. And we loved her polar bear dogs!
1058866,10780359,2014-03-07,7028036,Oscar,Every so often you'll find a place on Airbnb that really hits home and Lu's humble abode was definitely one of them. My team and I were in Austin for SXSW-edu and her place was very comfortable and homey. Roughly a 5-7 minute car ride to the downtown Hilton where the conference took place. We WISH we could have stayed (website hidden) was friendly and had snacks waiting for us on the counter.  I was totally hungover on one of the days and she gave us a few remedies. (ha!)  We will definitely be back next year and hope to stay with Lu! :)

1058866,11002584,2014-03-17,5238969,Jenny,Lu was so awesome!  She was very helpful about all the local spots to visit during our stay in her cool home while in Austin for SXSW.  Her house is perfect and in a really great location.  There were four of us and we did fine without a vehicle.  Her pups (polar bears) were the best well mannered dogs and you couldn't help but fall in love with them.
1058866,11094831,2014-03-20,4889617,Aaron,"Lu was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. The house was clean and well appoited. 

However, It was not made fully clear on the listing that this is a shared house. The words ""private/separate space"" to the owner was not entirely correct. I believe that it should be made clear that Lu lives in the same house. Even though Lu was fantastic (friendly, helpful, welcoming etc) it still felt like we were visitors in someones home. I felt I had to sneak around and try to not make noise when coming home late in the evening. We couldnt fully 'relax' as you want to do in your own place while on (website hidden) has two beautiful and friendly dogs (Labrador's) that also share the house. I personally thought it was quite nice to have them around but also something that should be mentioned as it may affect people with allergies. 

Overall our stay ended up being great. We were just a little shocked when we realised we didnt have the house to ourselves. 

Thanks again Lu.

"
1058866,11220888,2014-03-25,12302608,Andy,"We'd definitely recommend staying at Lu's when you're in Austin.  The house is cool (the picture doesn't quite do it justice) modern and immaculate.  Very easy to get to University, airport and (website hidden) knows her stuff and will be happy to recommend places to go and things to do."
1058866,11350583,2014-03-31,11664546,Kira,Lu is awesome!!! She knows a lot about the area and what's good!! The place is beautiful and clean. ..and the dogs are sooooo sweet!!! Cabs aren't too expensive but are necessary.  :) Have fun and enjoy your stay!
1058866,14255688,2014-06-15,16640592,Katie,Lu was such an awesome host! My sister and I came down for just a short trip and we loved how convenient this home was to the downtown area without being right in the middle of it! I would definitely recommend this listing for anyone wanting to explore the incredible city of Austin!
1058866,14333529,2014-06-16,16877,Rachel,Lu was a fantastic host. Her place is amazing and better than described. Amazing location as well....can't recommend her more! 
1058866,14498138,2014-06-20,427071,Stanley,"Lu is awesome.

My evening plane left late because of weather. Yada, yada, yada and I'm showing up at 4am in a neighborhood I do not know, in a city I've never visited and trying not to disturb anyone as I find the key and let myself into a house I'm unfamiliar with.

When I communicated to Lu that I was coming WAY LATE, she said, ""OK.""

Bed: super comfy
Neighborhood: Besides the brief disturbance that made some dogs bark, it was quiet.
Host: Makes a mean cup of coffee -- a most welcome gift after the night I'd had. She gave me some great recommends for cafes and music venues -- many of which I'll have to come back for. My only regret is that I only stayed for one night.

Going to Austin? Go with Lu.

FYI: If you book with Lu and try to do a Google search on her house ... Google needs to update their photo. "
1058866,14589741,2014-06-22,16262455,Vivian,"Lu was a fantastic host and gave us a great amount of recommendations for the tourist and local areas. The house is absolutely spotless and clean (website hidden)'s home is modern and well decorated. It's easy to get into town via a taxi or (website hidden)'s two dogs are adorable

We would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you so much!"
1058866,15009703,2014-06-30,8587753,Perla And Manola,Lu's place is amazing! It's in a perfect location and the house is very welcoming and modern! She is an awesome host with a great attitude!
1058866,15281073,2014-07-06,4081159,William,"Awesome modern house in East Austin! Lu was really accommodating, gave us a brief history of the area and recommended a bunch of places for us to visit. The room was extremely comfortable and very clean. The 2 big dogs we met were super friendly but also very quiet ੯ੁૂ‧̀͡u\ ੯ੁૂ‧̀͡u\ but you will only see them behind the gate in the backyard when Lu isn't home.
I would definitely stay with Lu again! "
1058866,15342193,2014-07-07,10619229,Ashley,We had a wonderful time at Lu's home! It was beautiful and artistic! Her dogs are adorable and super loving. Unfortunately we were unable to meet but Lu provided amazing dinner suggestions (go to Justine's!!!!) and made our stay incredibly easy! We would definitely stay at Lu's house again!
1058866,15741664,2014-07-14,6338973,Jay,Highly recommended! It's a very nice house and Lu is great.
1058866,16926061,2014-08-04,17686828,Jack,"Thanks Lu for letting us stay at your home! She is a fantastic host and super friendly. Recommended a lot of places to check out (unfortunately we did not get too) but overall our trip and the stay was a success! Great location, will stay again!"
1058866,18675231,2014-08-30,4255643,Seth,Our stay at Lu's house was awesome! Two bedrooms at that cost was a great deal and the close location to city center was clutch. Spending time with the two yellow labs after a long day of work felt like being back home. We had the opportunity to spend some time with Lu and greatly enjoyed the company. We also had ample privacy and would certainly return again.
1058866,18919323,2014-09-02,20329801,Elissa,"Lu's home is in a great location, close to all the up and coming hot spots of the Eastside and just a quick Uber away from Town Lake, Downtown, and other high traffic areas in town.  Her house has the perfect feel for a quick trip to Austin - full of awesome art and personality.  Though the living space was shared with Lu, really didn't see her much throughout the long weekend.  However, she was quickly responsive to any questions we had.  Shared the bedroom with my girlfriend and we both felt very comfortable there.  Thanks for sharing your home, Lu!"
1058866,19560136,2014-09-14,20862085,Madeline,"My stay with Lu was interesting. I am from Austin, born and raised, and I consider myself to be a fairly liberal, open-minded person. That said, upon arriving at Lu's we were slightly concerned about how run down the neighborhood was, given the fact that there were only three of us, all girls, but the place was very nice outside and looked like it had been recently updated and seemed safe enough. Although Lu did mentioned that she has two dogs in her listing I guess I didn't realize she would be leaving them there. The back hall smelled like wet dog because it was raining all weekend. We didn't necessarily care for the vulgar art work on the walls but, to each their own I suppose. Fair warning to anyone staying here, DO NOT turn the AC down without asking. This was my first experience with Air bnb and I think the idea is great but I probably wouldn't stay at this particular house again. The location isn't nearly as ""convenient"" as described in the listing. Also, the inside of the house looks nothing like the photos in the listing. Otherwise, the place was very clean and neighbors didn't seam to mind the loud music. I would maybe add something in the listing that clearly states that this is a shared space and there will be dogs. The only way anyone would know this is if they read all of these reviews. "
1058866,20191410,2014-09-25,18604030,Ann,"Lu made us feel at home and it was a pleasure to meet her and share her home. The neighborhood is in transition and her home is a trendsetter in the change. Convenient to the airport as well as major driving routes in Austin. We enjoyed meeting her dogs who are sweet, well behaved, and quiet! "
1058866,20912896,2014-10-07,10212878,Tony,Had a great time at Lu's for the 1st weekend of ACL 2014. Felt like staying at the home of a cool friend! Dogs were super friendly. Would stay again & recommend to others. Thanks Lu!

1058866,28165563,2015-03-19,26111096,Joey,"Lu was our first AirBnB host but she made us feel as if she's an old friend! Even her dogs made us feel welcome! There was a bit of confusion on our arrival date which led to us fumbling around and breaking a few things, but she was very gracious and just laughed it off. Her neighbourhood was very quiet, giving us much needed respite from the mayhem that is SXSW. Will definitely stay with her again! "
1058866,28261272,2015-03-21,2066091,Ryota,"There is many great art like gallery , more hospitality than hotels of downtown.
Little away from the downtown, but you can Uber in 5 minutes.
And, Lu is a wonderful artist!

ギャラリーより素晴らしいアートがあるし、ダウンタウンのホテルよりもホスピタリティーがある。
ダウンタウンから少し離れていますが、Uberで5分強でたどり着けます。"

I never actually saw her on this visit but she was readily available via text and email for any questions. She even shared her beer and coffee with us. Would definitely recommend her place!"
1058866,51374573,2015-10-19,5075103,Shawn,All was great and easy! I'd stay again.

She was very helpful with providing us with some local eatery recommendations and even lent my fiance` a jacket (the weather was less than cooperative for this year's Formula 1 race at COTA!). The decor and layout, the wood floors and open floor plan fit very well with our taste. We will definitely be back!"
7097267,49633965,2015-10-05,40702163,Elie,Overall my first Airbnb was good.  Jonny was a good host.  The accord actions were perfect for sleeping after a long day.  
7097267,50642299,2015-10-13,19058872,Holly,Jonny was a great host. His place was perfect for our group of five during ACL music festival. The house was in walking distance to Zilker Park and several restaurants.

The location was perfect - the listing itself was nice. As he just moved in, there isn't much by way of personal touches (yet). The bed was comfy and the internet was fast. Streamed movies from my hulu with no issues at all! 

He was also easy to communicate with, answered all of my messages immediately"

There are a plethora of great restaurants literally right outside the apartment (website hidden) was there to meet and greet me and to point me in the direction of good bars and things to do.  Would absolutely recommend to anyone.  
Thanks LC!"

6310552,37375945,2015-07-06,16664762,Brock,LC was a great host and nice guy. The location is south of downtown and near a lot of great restaurants. The only complaint is that we did think that the cleaning fee was really high for what we got.

Downtown is a quick 5 minute drive and there are plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment was very clean and is perfect for 1 or 2 people. Highly recommend it and would definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin!
6310552,46377257,2015-09-10,37072668,Ryan,"We had a late flight into Austin, and Wes was more than willing to meet at a late hour to give us keys.   

The unit is wonderful.   The pictures depict it perfectly.   I used the high speed internet for work and never had an issue.      The pool and gym were used daily.    The building itself is new, modern and clean.

The location is perfect for close walks to good food choices.     Über or walk downtown quickly.

Extremely happy with our stay and look forward to visiting Austin again!"
6310552,47909174,2015-09-21,41867280,Jerry,Very good experience. The building is a little difficult to navigate but it's a great place to stay.

Very easy access.
Fantastic South Austin location."
6310552,50313866,2015-10-11,43499436,Gina,"This was our first experience of AirBnB, and we tried it because the hotel rates in Austin seemed extremely high (particularly for the time we were staying).
Wes was very communicative before arrival, responsive to messages, and accommodating in meeting us at a time to suit.  When we arrived, he gave us the keys and indicated we should park on the fifth level of the car park and go in the door on that level.  Unfortunately this wasn’t as clear as it sounds, as there appeared to be three doors to the apartment block from this level.  Two led to the wrong part of the complex, the other led to a staircase, which we had to drag our stuff up, to then find the elevator and take it to the eighth floor.  If it had not been for a friendly neighbor this would’ve taken us a very long time to work out.
The apartment is nice and modern, but very small, and is made smaller by the incredibly large pieces of furniture in the rooms.  The bathroom is walk-through and has a door to both the kitchen and the bedroom.  The main picture on AirBnB showing the kitchen, whilst probably of a unit in the building, is not of the kitchen in the apartment – the layout is different, it is mirrored and the appliances are in different places.
The apartment was not as clean as we would have liked – the toilet had dirty ring marks, and there was a large buildup of dust, around and under furniture.  Facilities in the kitchen were a little sparse, which made it hard to even e.g. scramble eggs.  There was an electric tea kettle but no power lead, which as a tea drinker was annoying.  We found it a little challenging to operate the television/cable box in the living room (but eventually worked it out), and there was a television in the bedroom that we never worked out how to use, but it wasn’t a big deal.  It would have been nice to have been left some basic instructions.  There was no hairdryer.  Whilst there was some wardrobe space, the majority of hangers were taken up with the owner’s clothes.  The mattress, whilst soft, was very comfortable.
The property was well located for seeing Austin.  It is on an express bus route, but is certainly walkable to both downtown and SoCo.
Overall we felt we had an okay first AirBnB experience, with areas for improvement around being better equipped and improved cleanliness.
"
6310552,51379356,2015-10-19,26437069,Kari,"Wes was a great host. He was available to answer questions before and during our trip and had no issues greeting us late at night upon our arrival. The apartment was nice, although small, and in a great location. Everything you could want was a short drive, walk, or bike ride away. Would definitely stay here again."

My band and I desperately  needed a nice quiet place to stay while we were in town to perform at a festival, and we could not have fathomed better lodging than this. Susan made sure we had everything we needed, and was friendly and easy to reach. Not a single issue over the four days we stayed. Also -- using two shower heads at once will change your life. Who knew?? "
5599597,32600882,2015-05-19,25414280,James,"Got a message a few days before our trip with basic details and then another more detailed one prior to our arrival. Susan was very helpful and had the house clean and tidy and just as promised. 
The Keurig on the counter was a bonus ~ especially for us coffee hounds.
The house was located in a nice little neighborhood and the location was perfect for us as we attended the State Track Meet and the Color Run all in the same day. 
Overall ~ it was a great weekend and we'll for sure be back in the future!  "
5599597,32915843,2015-05-23,9061662,Debra,"Susan's place was exactly as described.  Very comfortable and we felt right at home.  She contacted us right away with info about getting the keys and kept in contact with us through texts throughout our stay if we had any other questions. 
There were many amenities such as special bathroom supplies, plenty of towels, a kitchen stocked with goodies and comfortable bedding.
The neighborhood was quiet and a close drive to coffee shops and restaurants.  Only about 15 minutes from the airport.  Would definitely stay again. Thanks Susan!"
5599597,34179128,2015-06-05,22462951,Kristy,"Susan had a very lovely house which matched the description. In addition she was a very helpful host. Her house had everything we needed. She even provided toiletries and towels! In addition, she responded very fast. I contacted her the night before my arrival and she replied within a minute. "
5599597,34644586,2015-06-10,32747790,Derek,"Susan is awesome! We got the chance to meet her and talk to her and she really does everything she can to make the stay the best possible experience. The place was incredibly clean and she left us towels, soaps, water and even gave us access to her herb garden. I would highly recommend Susan's house to anyone traveling to Austin."
5599597,35138638,2015-06-15,5325133,Margaret,"
Susan's house is fabulous! It's a comfy little place in a sweet neighborhood east of downtown. We immediately felt welcome upon entry where we found cool drinks and snacks waiting for us. The house was everything we needed for the four of us (although we had planned to have five and it would have served us well then too!). Over the four days we went to all kinds of fun events including a tour of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library on the University of Texas campus, casual and fine dining, long walks along the river and two crazy nights of Republic of Texas Bike Week. What an amazing town and a perfect house to come home to nightly."
5599597,35534234,2015-06-19,8395340,Andrew,The host canceled this reservation 268 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5599597,35576567,2015-06-20,20633748,Jeff,"Susan's home was perfect for our week stay in Austin. We had 5 guys in the house and there was plenty of space between the pull out beds, couches and beds for all of us. The kitchen was equipped with snacks and a Keurig coffee maker which was nice for us in the mornings. The neighborhood is very cozy as well and provided a nice atmosphere. Our whole group was satisfied!"
5599597,35838696,2015-06-22,24162375,David,"Arriving early in the evening, Susan was there getting a few things, and she was the definition of welcoming and gracious in her brief introduction. For our small family (two adults, a 3-year-old, and a 5-year-old) the space was just perfect, and the extra touches of provided toiletries and snacks made the place feel very comfortable from the first moment we stepped in. As the description says, this is in an area of East Austin that has always had charm (Mi Madre's is down the street), but that in recent years has become even more active (though still a quiet residential street where the house is). It's close to downtown, the new children's museum (The Thinkery), and just could not have been a more pleasant place to be to have an excellent weekend in Austin. My daughters are already asking when we might be going back."
5599597,36783197,2015-07-01,2178179,Julia,"Great spot for our long weekend in Austin! We stayed for four nights and were very comfortable. Susan was quick to respond and left the house stocked with more than just the basics, including plenty of toiletries and water/tea+coffee and snacks. The house was clean and felt fresh inside. Susan's house was close to everything we wanted to do while in Austin, and yet it was extremely quiet at night. We slept well! The listing is as described. The one thing I would note is that there are steps at both entries (front and back) and a somewhat steep one to get into the shower. For that reason, this may not be the best place for anyone with mobility issues."
5599597,37576231,2015-07-08,5360450,Sarah,"Susan is an amazing host!! I'm a native Austinite and I had a large group of friends coming into town to visit and booked Susan's wonderful, comfortable house for all of us. There was ample space for all of us to sleep comfortably, with a spacious kitchen and dining area as well. From the moment I first messaged Susan up until check out, she was extremely responsive and available for any questions/concerns. She provided lots of towels/linens, waters, and light snacks. We all felt very welcome and at home in Susan's house, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our trip. The neighborhood is really great--lots of fun restaurants, cafes, etc, and very close to downtown. Highly recommend this listing--I will definitely be staying with Susan again next time I come home to visit! :)"
5599597,38540083,2015-07-16,37052061,Samira,We had a wonderful time at Susan's place. It was perfect for us and our two young children and in a great location. The house has all the amenities you need at an affordable rate. 
5599597,39065016,2015-07-20,28780592,Ryan,"This house was great for my trip! It was exceptionally clean and there was plenty of room for 6 guys. She left snacks, drinks, towels, and soaps for us which was an added benefit. I would stay here again for sure! "

5599597,40747783,2015-08-02,2619071,Sam,"Susan was a great host and we really enjoyed staying at her place. Her place is exactly as pictured. Her place is well stocked and had everything that we needed to stay comfortably. Also, her place is very centralized so we were able to travel to various destination within a 10-15 drive. She is also very close to downtown. I would recommend her place to anyone looking to visit Austin. "
5599597,41087448,2015-08-04,35251577,Earl,"This was a fantastic place. Susan was extremely quick to respond to messages. The house was close to everything. Again, it was a great place and I couldn't recommend it more."
5599597,43913213,2015-08-23,31809355,Cengizhan,"Susan`s house was excellent. Location was so convenient to go anywhere in Austin and house was very clean and comfortable. Susan prepared everything for her guests, bathroom supplies, a lot of towels and the most important one is kitchen stocked with goodies so you can cook whatever you want. If you love cooking :) Since my wife and me were going to stay there for 19 days we would like to cook together and it was so enjoyable. You feel like you are at your own home.  Susan was so kind, nice and helpful. The neighborhood was quiet, so you can have rest at home without and disturbance.  So I strongly recommend Susan`s house to everyone who wants to visit Austin. I am sure you will like staying there. After 19 days it was so hard for me and my wife to say bye to this lovely home :)"
5599597,45152679,2015-08-31,41002905,Jacob,"Really enjoyed our weekend in Austin! We had six guys and we all fit very comfortably. The property was in a great location, just a short from everything you would want to do in Austin. Susan quickly and answered all my questions and was accommodating made it very easy for us coming in and going out. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Austin area!"
5599597,45743968,2015-09-05,42990384,Alexandra,"House big enough for 6 people. We were very happily surprised to have snacks, coffee and beverages. 
It's a very nice and calm neighborhood. Susan was a wondseful host. We would recommend this place for a stay in Austin. "
5599597,46148913,2015-09-08,3492988,Jessica,"Susan's home was lovely, spacious (fit 6 adults and 2 babies!) and conveniently located.  Susan really went out of her way to set up the house with everything guests would need during their stay, including towels and bedding, as well as even snacks, coffee and beverages!  She was easily available if needed, and very hospitable.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin !"
5599597,46917252,2015-09-14,29218763,Katherine,"This house was a perfect place for us and our friends (plus a baby!) to stay for a wedding weekend in Austin.  Convenient to the whole city, and nearby some great restaurants. Susan was so kind and helpful.  She leaves it fully stocked and is very responsive in communicating when you have questions / needs. 

Thanks, Susan!"

We had 5 ppl and while we spent most of our time exploring the city, we also enjoyed relaxing at the house.  She provided check-in and check-out guidelines which made the renting process easy.  The location is also great!"

5599597,50291180,2015-10-11,37252345,Chris,"Susan could not have been nicer! She was incredibly accommodating and was beyond friendly.  As far as the house itself goes, amazing location and within a mile of University of Texas. Very clean very nice spot that was easy to walk to and from. Whenever I make a trip back to Austin, I certainly plan to call Susan! "
5599597,51605601,2015-10-22,34866523,Bob,Used the whole house for 12 days. It's nicely remodeled and kept up. Both bedrooms have modern furniture with excellent beds. The kitchen is modern and fully equipped. Bathroom is tiled and plumbing is in great shape. House is air conditioned and has ceiling fans in both bedrooms & front room. There are new washer & dryer available on site. The yard is nicely maintained. Capitol Metro bus line #20 stop on Manor Rd. is 140 ft. from house. Susan provides a quality place at a affordable price.
5599597,52825398,2015-11-02,41213073,Julie,"Wonderfully convenient neighborhood, very peaceful and close to everything. Susan's house is perfectly clean and orderly and welcoming; she provided everything we could possibly need. Beds were ultra-comfortable, bathroom was perfect, internet was super-fast. Thank you for a great stay -- we'll be back!"
5599597,53175284,2015-11-06,26324548,Dan,Susan was a great host. The home and neighborhood were just as she described.  The home was immaculate and the neighborhood was nice and quiet and close to some great restaurants. Susan was always available to answer any questions we had. Great experience!
3889004,28244760,2015-03-21,17025640,Jacob,"We were a group of six staying for the SXSW Interactive/Music conference. The house is gorgeous and in absolute mint condition. Rooms are large and beautifully decorated. The kitchen/living room is a perfect social space to hang out. On hot days there is a nice patio/backyard area with a grill. 

It felt like staying in a luxury villa resort, with complimentary bathroom amenities and all!

The location is very convenient close to downtown yet very quiet and safe.

Todd & Lori gave us great tips for things to do, bars, restaurants and grocery stores. They also prepared all the relevant house information, wifi passwords, codes etc so everything worked extremely smoothly during our stay.

We couldn't be more happy with out stay and would love to come back!"
4304285,43136878,2015-08-17,40238223,Melissa,"Host was very hospitable, reaching out prior to our stay to ensure we had everything we needed.  The house was beautiful and a perfect ""home base"" while  family was in from out-of-town for my father's 70th birthday.  We will definitely be recommending to friends and family for future visits to Austin."
4304285,50620430,2015-10-13,27435763,Drew,"Great house, very big.  It is very close to Zilker Park, in a beautiful neighborhood. Pool is awesome. "
5571857,27785573,2015-03-11,18204261,Jim,"Awesome House, Awesome Host, Great location

This house was awesome.  It was really way cooler than I expected.  The host was so nice and helpful.  My group was super comfortable.  All the queen beds are nice pillow tops and even though they didn't say it in the description, they offered us a queen blow up as a 5th bed that we put in the den (which has doors that close.  Although, the coach was nice and probably would have been plenty.  This place is really close to the south congress and downtown area.  It was an easy walk to south congress where all the fun shops and restaurants were.  Anyway, generally, this house was in great condition and was just beautiful. We had a group of 10 and we all had a spot on a bed.  It could probably fit a few more people too -- its super spacious.   Their hot water never ran out because it is a tankless, so that was a nice surprise since our group was so big.  The backyard is really nice as well.  The host has a vegetable garden and picnic tables in the big fenced-in backyard. Not sure why they didn't have a picture of the backyard though because it's really really nice.  We didn't have many cars but there is plenty of street parking in front and behind the house.  My only complaint was that I wanted to extend a day and they couldn't make it work.  But, they were super nice about it and everything else.  I am not usually a big fan of airbnb houses, but I totally recommend this one! "
5571857,29886624,2015-04-13,28710907,Phillip,"Great place, very clean and clutter free. The hosts were very friendly and helpful accommodating my group of 7."
5571857,30327544,2015-04-20,9119174,Jennifer,"We loved our stay with Jenna. We had a group of 8 - 4 couples, and there was PLENTY of room. Beautiful clean home with great amenities. Its about a 10 minute ride to downtown and we used Uber and Lyft very easily. South Congress is also around the corner even though we did not actually walk it during the trip. Loved our visit!"
5571857,32544458,2015-05-19,27938044,Adam,"The pictures do not do this place justice! It is clean, spacious and has high ceilings. The backyard patio was a great hangout spot, too. Jenna and Chris were responsive and easy to get ahold of when necessary. The location is also great for a short drive or cab to many attractions in the area. I am happy to have chosen this house rather than the heart of downtown, and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!"
5571857,33259128,2015-05-26,30925717,Adriana,"Amazing house! A ton of space, great neighborhood, and cozy feeling. Highly recommend. Great hosts also! It's a lot better than the pictures!"
2193817,51497612,2015-10-20,3833153,Charles,"I loved the place.  Nice and quiet, and the hosts were great.  Wonderful location if you're looking for NW Hills / Cat Mtn.  Very convenient to central Austin as well as the outskirts.  Don't be surprised by the deer in the front yard!"
2948580,14372411,2014-06-17,7630114,M,"Caeriel's place was just as described, and very pleasant. Quiet, clean room, private bathroom, excellent common area (kitchen, living room), safe and ample parking close by, and a Denny's and Starbucks just up the road. What more could I ask for? Great airbnb, I'll definitely reserve again!"

2948580,15292596,2014-07-06,17169626,Andrew,"Caeriel was a great host and very accommodating. The unit was clean, spacious, and a ~$15 cab ride from downtown. Also, Caeriel's dog Boomer is probably the friendliest dog I've ever met. "
2948580,16383405,2014-07-26,783325,Adina,"Caeriel described his room accurately and was a quick communicator. The bed was very comfortable, and ensuite bathroom was handy. Great shower pressure! Caeriel's dog was a sweetheart, and we were lucky to have a great chat with Caeriel. He got us tickets to an improv show at a local theater, and we loved it! Very thoughtful. 
Our only gripe was that the air conditioning was quite loud, but then, we were VERY grateful there was AC because Austin was extremely hot the days we visited. "
2948580,17523953,2014-08-13,16001936,George,Lovely place. Caeriel gave us a great convenience there and Boomer is adorable. 
2948580,17888329,2014-08-18,2641009,Crystal,"My travel-mate, her 10 month old baby, and I had a pleasant time staying in a private room at Caeriel's place. He was able to set up a fouton mattress on the floor for me (which was perfectly comfortable as long as your not a side sleeper, which I'm not), we appreciated being able to use the full kitchen, Netflix was nice at night, and the location was very accessible to highway 35 which will bring you wherever in about 10 minutes time. I realized the first day that Caeriel's apartment is not accessible by bus. It will leave you about a 25 minute walk (in 95 degree weather) from your destination. So we rented a car which is a must so you can go see some great sights outside of Austin too. What else, the air conditioning works well; we left our door open at night, so I'm not sure how cool it gets if it's closed, the shower is like a box, and the water might leak onto the floor, moderately clean bathroom, friendly dog. Thanks Caeriel!"
2948580,18597569,2014-08-28,20388690,Imz,"Cariel was great, he made me feel welcome as soon as I walked through the door. A great host coupled together with a great room made for a fantastic experience. The room is large, so is the bed. Not to mention you have your own bathroom. Wifi connection is excellent too.
Will definitely stay here again could not recommend it more!"
2948580,18769811,2014-08-31,17178761,Nick,"The room was just as described. Caeriel was extremely nice and very welcoming.  There was an unexpected sudden problem with the bathroom the day I was to arrive, but he let me know right away and offered solutions to make me feel my needs were being met (full refund, access to his personal bathroom) and everything was great.  His dog Boomer was such a great welcoming committee!  Would recommend.   "
2948580,18920658,2014-09-02,19472595,Mimi,"Caeriel is such a friendly nice warm welcoming guy!! Oh his dog is friendly and hilariously too funny, ladies be entertained!!! I stayed at his place with a friend of mine and the bed is very comfortable, probably the best night's sleep I got in 2 wks!!! Won't hesitate to recommend his place!!! 
Thank you for having us!! "
2948580,19476842,2014-09-13,13238368,Charlotte,"Everything went smooth with the check in and everything was really casual.

2948580,19660979,2014-09-15,15282831,Deanna,Our stay with Caeriel was great! Everything was as he advertised and very clean. Though we didn't get to meet he was very attentive and responsive. The apartment is just a short bike or cab ride to downtown. I would recommend him and definitely come back in the future!
2948580,19718565,2014-09-16,9664864,Vas,"I only stayed for about 12 hours (overnight), but during that time Caeriel was a very response and thoughtful host.  The place was conveniently located, clean and comfy."

I also enjoyed walking around the neighbourhood and it was convenient for the festival we were in town for. And, of course, Boomer rules!"
2948580,23050916,2014-11-21,22259248,Travis,"Caeriel was a wonderful host leaving me be to do whatever I needed to make myself comfortable. Mind you, I didn't really do much other than hide in my room and sleep. But I feel Caeriel understood my mentality and that made me feel more comfortable at his place. 

I would definitely recommend staying at his place!"
2948580,23428295,2014-12-01,15207005,Sina,"The accommodation was exactly that, as it was described and seen on the pictures. Check in was very easy, uncomplicated and possible  at any time (we missed the flight and arrived next day). Clean and tidy apartment. I recommend it."
2948580,23776491,2014-12-09,21756610,Laura,"Lovely apartment complex - felt safe, despite the darkly lit surrounding roads. Not ideal for non-car drivers if you need to get downtown as the bus stop is a 20 min walk. The cab company Uber is cheap and responds quickly, however. The bed is large and very comfortable. The shower is very leaky but it was nice to have our own bathroom. You mightn't be able to do a clothes wash in the complex and there isn't a local nearby in which to do it, FYI. Overall a pleasant stay with a friendly chap and his dog."
2948580,23852765,2014-12-12,24385829,Carlos,"If you need a cheap place to stay for a few nights near downtown, then this place will do. But you get what you pay for. The apartment is average at best, has a unique smell, and the pool and gym area are poorly maintained. "
2948580,24214564,2014-12-22,3004799,Krystal,I loved my stay. The room was perfect. Easy check in. Own bathroom. Keys to come and go. Plenty of parking. Perfect location. Adorably friendly dog.
2948580,24754185,2015-01-02,24442259,Rob,"Caeriel is an excellent host - willing to point out local spots of interest and his home is exactly as advertised. If ever back in Austin , I would not hesitate to look it back up. Only one caveat - the shower can be a bit challenging if you are a bigger person ( I got some broad shoulders ) so space is at a premium. Easy to find , close to congress , a dennys up the road for breakfast and close to the highway for cabs and uber. As a bonus , Boomer is a great dog. My only regret is we came down with the flu and left so as not to infect the house. If that wouldn't have happened , would've more than comfortable staying there. Great first experience using Air BnB."
2948580,25222058,2015-01-09,16397048,Marco,Caeriel was very nice and accommodating. The room was perfect and the apartment was very well kept and clean! I would definitely recommend staying at his place to anyone visiting Austin. 
2948580,25397095,2015-01-14,12426390,Natalia,"The apartment is spacious, clean and close to downtown.  Its proximity with St. Edwards University places it in a lovely neighborhood.  While Caeriel and his beautiful dog Boomerang were welcoming hosts, they provided us with plenty of privacy. During our stay we usually had exclusive access to all common areas of the home, including the front porch. While our stay was brief, the warmth of this home, accentuated by the art on all of the walls made it the perfect stay!"
2948580,25616314,2015-01-20,24379962,Art,"Super awesome location and value, and Caeriel is a fantastic host. Great communication but also just lets ya do your thing. His dog Boomer is also one of the sweetest chill labs I've ever met, so that's a bonus. If you're looking for a fantastic 1br with your own bath, Caeriel's place can't be beat."
2948580,26025940,2015-02-01,22349989,Cidney,"Caeriel was a great host. This was my first time using airbnb and I was in town to attend training at the ONNIT Academy.

I arrived around 9p, the complex is dark, so it was a small challenge to find his place.  Once I entered his magical dog Boomer greeted me, an old soul. The place is as pictured, clean. Plenty of drinking water is available, as well as a coffee maker, and tea kettle.

Private Room/ Shower:
More than large enough, queen bed (ceiling fan above), freshly vacuumed rug floor, linens/towels smelled freshly cleaned. Travel body wash, shampoo are provided and extra towels/hangers in the closet. Plenty of outlets for chargers. Stand-up shower, a bit tight, but not stressed.

Porch:
Clean private area with picnic chairs to chill.  There was a bike there, not sure if it was available for guests to use.

Laundry Room:
Is conveniently located right below the apartment

Host:
Caeriel (Kair-ee-EL) was a great host. He is an IMPROV actor/ artist, very cool.  He had the perfect balance of being accessible, informative, and giving space when needed. My second day at Onnit was exhausting, I decided to walk home, then it rained, I crashed out as soon as I arrived. 

Final:
Whether you are an Onnit athelete/trainer or not, the space was reasonably priced, clean, safe, accommodating, and was in close proximity to the location I needed to be at."
2948580,26197102,2015-02-06,15248640,Prathap,"My previous Airbnb reservation was cancelled without notification 5 days prior to the trip to Austin. I was scrambling to find another listing and Caeriel communicated quickly to book the room at this place. The room itself was private with an attached bathroom.  We had a nice comfy bed with a memory foam top, access to kitchen, and living area w/ TV/Netflix. We did not interact a whole lot with Caeriel during our stay, although Boomer kept company quite a few times. He is an awesome dog.  "
2948580,27240983,2015-02-28,17957328,Hagai,"Great accommodation really close to where everything is going on in Austin (less then 10$ for Uber to the 6th street).
Unfortunately we never got the chance to meet Caeriel however we met Boomer that is a really friendly dog. "
2948580,28124073,2015-03-18,10106137,Fernando,"Caeriel is a great host. He had hosts leaving in the same day I got in, but everything went perfect. By the time he advised the room was ready. Clean towels and linings.  Just as described. The apartment is well located, in a calm zone. Just a few minutes on bike from South Congress Ave.
The bed is comfortable. Can easily accomodate 2.
The bathroom is ok. Everything works fine. Hot water. My only remark is about the space in the shower. Really tinny. Big guys would find some difficulties in moving inside it.
There is a closet in the room. It was packed with futons, a spare bed and other stuff. It couldn't be used.
Caeriel got most of the time inside his room with Boomer. A lovely dog. Really sweet and quiet. My only point is about the dog scent that is in the room / kitchen.
Overall, in SXSW days the price is a little high for what is offered but it's a nice place to stay in Austin.
Commuting from the apartment is great on bike. For walking it's a little isolated.
One more time I got a great time in Austin. Thanks for all your attention Caeriel."
2948580,28315946,2015-03-22,27098634,Jess,"Caeriel was a wonderful hosts. Four of my friends and I stayed for 4 days for SXSW and it was perfect. His dog is probably one of the sweetest canines I have ever met...he definitely made us all feel welcome. Totally recommend this room for anyone who wants to be close to downtown; the commute was very simple. If I ever need a room in Austin again, I will always remember this listing. Thank you for being such an awesome host! "
2948580,29063829,2015-04-03,26541497,Sara,"I loved the two nights I spent here! The price is amazing and the space is clean and spacious. The bed was super comfortable and the private bathroom was a HUGE perk. (I felt like I had my own private studio while I was staying here!) With my rental car, I was able to drive everywhere I wanted to go in South Austin in less than 10 minutes and downtown didn't take much longer than that. The location right off of 35 is incredibly convenient, but it was also a quiet and relaxing place to stay.

We didn't see each other much at all, but Caeriel was a great host. He was flexible with my check-in time, communicated very quickly, and was extremely friendly and welcoming. (I even enjoyed Boomer's company when I was in the apartment...and this is coming from a person who doesn't really like dogs much at all! He was very well-behaved/trained and never barked.)"
2948580,29219979,2015-04-05,29899817,Andres,"We had a flawless stay -- Caeriel is great, very welcoming  and extremely accommodating, you're reasonably close to very interesting places in and around the city, the room is super clean and comfortable, parking is convenient, the dog is awesome, and you get a private bathroom! Really, you cannot ask for more.  If it sounds like this is the place you want to stay in (price, location, etc.), do not think twice about it. You'll love it."
2948580,29784507,2015-04-12,9820264,Yina,"I think what I learned from this trip is that next time I should book early so I would have more choices... Pros: the bed and the towels are really comfortable, and our host did leave us the full privacy after we arrived.  Cons: the place has a strong smell of pets, and the room cannot be locked from inside. The shower is really small too in a way that you'll need to adjust yourself when you bend down to reach your toes to avoid hitting your head somewhere. I think this place is quite pricey for what we got compared to my previous airbnb experiences. Overall I would say don't have your expectations too high. "
2948580,31232557,2015-05-03,32304185,Sonja,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2948580,32042253,2015-05-12,30509664,Amy,"Caeriel was incredibly sweet and accommodating, especially considering our communication breakdown (my fault completely!). He got the space ready with such short notice. My partner and I were extremely grateful! The apartment was very clean, and his dog was such a sweetie! Thank you Caeriel!"
2948580,32384256,2015-05-17,30880144,Raul,"Very good place to stay, for the price and location, Caeriel was very nice to us and made us feel like the place was our home. "
2948580,32865871,2015-05-22,26839559,Musaab,"This was a fantastic place to stay. 

Caeriel and his dog Boomer were very welcoming and friendly. There apartment was immaculately clean, and very relaxed.

Couldn't ask for a better host!"
2948580,35039932,2015-06-14,18556876,Andrew,This place was a nice and simple bedroom which was exactly what I was looking for. I was fortunate to meet the host and he was really chill. The location is great because its close to both I-35 & South Congress which allows for some good options to get around Austin.
2948580,35890310,2015-06-22,1633630,Claire,Caeriel was a nice host. The room is pretty and you've got tour own bathroom. I recommend it.
2948580,36253749,2015-06-26,36665095,Darius,"Absolutely awesome. Caeriel was both a welcoming host and understanding for privacy, the room was nice and clean, the private bathroom was a nice touch, and the bed was extremely comfortable. All that plus the sweetest dog ever and I'd Definitely recommend and I'll be keeping this in my favorites. "
2948580,36752626,2015-06-30,27183363,Ree,"Caeriel is very nice to take us in the last minute. The room is very simple and the bathroom is clean. But, I think the place is a little pricey compared with my other airbnb experience. "
2948580,37023566,2015-07-03,27924289,Harry,"Caeriels place was awesome. Everything was as it was described, everything was clean and we were given our own privacy, and freedom to roam around the apartment. Caeriels dog Boomer is great, he is one of the friendliest dogs we've met. 
Our experience in Austin was definitely improved by our stay at Caeriels."
2948580,37242623,2015-07-05,23526056,Mathy,My boyfriend and I took a trip to Austin for the 4th of July weekend and stayed at Caeriel's. He also accommodated a futon for our friends who only stayed for one night. Caeriel is such a nice guy!   He's so welcoming and he made us feel like we were at home. My friends and I loved his dog as well. He was larger than I expected but he's so sweet. Caeriel also provided towels for us and they were really soft! I liked that the shower heads were strong too. Caeriel lives fairly close to everything so it was easy to get around. I highly recommend coming to Caeriel's if you're making a trip to Austin. He's an awesome guy!
2948580,38077662,2015-07-12,37951038,Kenny,"It was a good, comfortable place for 7 people to stay. Caeriel was very welcoming and organized."
2948580,39671102,2015-07-25,19220281,Amar,"Great place to stay. Everything was a described in the listing. Clean welcoming place with easy access to a lot of places. Caeriel was a great host and boomer, his dog was fun to have around the house. This place was an amazing first step into Austin for me. Great job!"
2948580,41480675,2015-08-07,31595541,Julianna,My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week. Everything was clean and tidy. Boomer is well-trained and is certainly one of the best dogs I've ever met. I would definitely recommend the place to visiting friends and family!
2948580,43330270,2015-08-18,62200,Carrie Ann,My boyfriend and I stayed at Caeriel's home for three nights during a last minute trip to Austin. The apartment was just as it appears in the site's photos and the room was perfect for us. The neighborhood was nice and the apartment was just a short drive from downtown Austin. Caeriel was a terrific host and easy to get in touch with when needed. I highly recommend staying at his home.
2948580,43822566,2015-08-22,28460970,Thomas,Great place to stay in Austin. Caeriel let us do our thing and was accommodating. There's plenty of space for multiple people and the price for the convince of the location is amazing. Super value and in a safe area. 
2948580,44079462,2015-08-23,42050956,Mark,Caeriel has the coolest place! The books are awesome and he is the nicest dude. We were there very long but when we were we got the love of his awesome dog boomer!!
2948580,44730460,2015-08-28,42332694,Ann,Good place to stay in Austin. The stay was clean and comfortable and his dog boomer was awesome. The private bathroom was super convenient. His place is in close proximity to a lot of cool places on the south part of town. 
2948580,45884939,2015-09-06,42951137,Atul,Caeriel is a welcoming host. The house was clean and had enough space for 8 of us to crash in for a night. Highly recommended.
2948580,46847887,2015-09-13,19520999,Claire,"Very welcoming, friendly and made us feel super at ease in his home from before we even got there. Great host. Thanks!!"
2948580,49183614,2015-10-01,33616104,James,"Everything was awesome. Caerial was extremely welcoming and the house was really great and comfortable. Super quiet neighborhood just a short distance from downtown. The house also features one of the coolest dogs I've ever met. He spends his time with Caerial so he isn't just roaming but if you get the chance to play with him take. Really, really good experience all around."
2948580,49618318,2015-10-05,6164579,Dafny,"We stayed with Caeriel for ACL and we were very confortable in his department, Caeriel is so kind and his dog is so lovely! It is really near from Downtown and from the festival! The apartment is very clean, confortable, we just felt like home!"
2948580,50485734,2015-10-12,43133738,Blake,This was my first experience with AirBnB and it was great! Caeriel was very responsive and helpful! Boomer is also one of the better behaved dogs I've been around. He never barks and is very quiet. 
2948580,51172294,2015-10-18,476494,Wei,"Cariel was very nice and easy to communicate with. He greeted us on arrival and gave us the keys. His dog was very sweet. The place was clean and quiet, and suited the three of us great."
2948580,52045002,2015-10-26,38098702,Rayne,"Caeril was very accommodating and was very friendly. Boomer was one of the friendliest dogs i have ever met, never barked once and would always come to greet when we came back from our travels around Austin.  I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Austin."
2948580,52654966,2015-10-31,44109417,Niek,In comparison with the other Airbnb experieced we've got during our trip through America this place was a bit expensive. Although the room and bed with the private bathroom was fine for the tired traveler who doesn't expect to much. The shower was fine as well but do not drop anything. The location is indeed minutes from downtown by car or Uber (less than 10 dollar). The place looked situated in a student complex near the university and was darker than pictured. The host was a nice guy with some good tips and the dog Boomer is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. 
2948580,52762580,2015-11-01,32807257,Tiffany,"Awesome place to stay for the weekend if you ever want to be minutes from Austin nightlife! Spent my Halloween stay here and it was just perfect for my friends and I. Caeriel was a great host, with the sweetest dog ever! Would definitely recommend for anyone for a cozy place to stay! "
7113855,49746346,2015-10-05,45553823,Karl,"He was very welcoming. James is a very interesting man, and made every effort to make my stay enjoyable "
7113855,50379281,2015-10-11,7503452,Heather,"This house is a wonderful gem close to the Zilker Park area.  We stayed during ACL and found the proximity to be perfect for walking to the festival.  James was nothing but welcoming, informative, courteous and extremely friendly.  He's a wonderful communicator and made sure we had everything we needed prior and during our stay at his place.  He even got a new mattress prior to our trip so our bed was exceptionally comfortable.  Will definitely look at staying here again should I need to be close to downtown or Zilker Park."
7113855,50995171,2015-10-16,40750401,Stephanie,"James was awesome and the house is a throwback in time...
very mod cool feel.  The bed was so comfy and even had a desk for my laptop.  I loved getting up and being able to walk with my dog in the cool neighborhood "
7113855,51486690,2015-10-20,3058383,Adam,The host canceled this reservation 142 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1352792,6941480,2013-08-31,7888761,Pauline,The house was very spacious and served our family perfectly.  It was nice having all the space for the kids to play during our long stay.  Laurel & Eric were very responsive to our phone calls & emails. We really enjoyed their lovely home.
1352792,28317455,2015-03-22,20434106,Chandni,"We had a great stay during SXSW :) Laurel was an amazing host! Just FYI for the 3rd bedroom, it is not an actual mattress but an air mattress. We stayed for 8 nights so it was rather uncomfortable to sleep on for over a week but it wouldn't stop us from staying there again! "
7462553,39896867,2015-07-26,29893539,Liz,"My stay at Tessie's was absolutely perfect. After a long day traveling, it was so nice to sleep in a comfortable bed in a quiet apartment. The room and apartment were very clean and we felt incredibly safe. We never actually saw Tessie but she was very hospitable and told us everything we needed to know before we got there. We would definitely recommend this space to anyone and everyone! "
22982,29830,2010-03-16,89665,Shai,"This is a great place, about 2 miles from downtown Austin.  Gina is friendly and was very responsive to calls/emails.  The place was spacious, had 2 bedrooms, and was very clean.  They don't have wifi access, so that is only downside.  If they install wifi, I would likely stay there again."
22982,106413,2010-09-27,226442,J.T.,"Fantastic place located right in the heart of Clarksville - 5-10 minutes from downtown, 5-10 minutes from UT/football stadium, easy mopac and 35 access. It was  definitely very clean and stylish. Included free wifi, Uverse tv, ipod dock/radio. Owners, Gina and Ken were as acommodating and cool as they could possibly be and were very easy to get in contact with prior to my stay. I've stayed at just about all hotels downtown over the past few years for various occasions(omni, sfa, radisson, driskill etc.) and I really think this (particular place and overall concept)is a far better deal and highly recommend it.   "
22982,142740,2010-11-22,268494,Greg,"The Empty Nest was just as described and Gina provided great answers to us at all stages of the process. She was quick to answer questions via the AirBNB site before we booked, gave us help via e-mail as we planned our arrival, and had good recommendations on some delicious nearby restaurants when we arrived and were hungry.

For us, this location was about a 20 minute walk from the AT&T Conference Center and/or UT campus so it is a decent location for an event at one of those locations.

The wifi and radio system worked great. The bookshelves have interesting locally focused books/movies/DVDs. Some historic greats (Johnny Cash at Austin City Limits) were complemented with updated local magazines and newspapers with info on fun things to see and do in Austin.

"
22982,226480,2011-04-14,470745,Dana,The Empty Nest was great! Gina was very welcoming and gave us good recommendations for places to eat and things to do while we were in Austin. A wonderful location--we would definitely stay here again. 
22982,628119,2011-10-14,1160616,Melanie,"The Empty Nest was great!  It was spacious and very clean.  The location is fantastic.  It is close to UT campus, downtown, Whole Foods, Zilker, etc.  Gina and her husband were very welcoming.  It was nice to stay in a home instead of a hotel, especially with our baby."
22982,704239,2011-11-08,169452,Jason,"Great experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay, at a good price. We never heard noise, nor were disturbed during our stay. Thanks again!"
22982,998655,2012-03-14,102962,Diana,"For SXSWi 2012, I stayed with a group of 4 at the Empty Nest. From first contact to checkout, Gina was just wonderful. As we corresponded in the lead-up to the conference, she patiently dealt with my dispatches regarding an ever-shifting group of guests. Once we got into town (all on different flights), she handled not one, not two, but three separate waves of guest arrivals! One day during our stay when it was raining, she even offered to drive two of us downtown so that we wouldn't have to walk or try to call a cab. And to update a previous review, this place definitely now has Wi-Fi. We loved our stay and would recommend Gina's place to anyone looking for a cozy place close to downtown Austin."
22982,1043585,2012-03-26,1745384,Nick,"Gina's upstairs apartment was clean, cozy, and a great alternative to some stale hotel room, and the whole process of reserving and arranging our arrival was very easy."
22982,1140003,2012-04-16,2085256,Amber,"Gina was a great host and was very helpful! The rooms were very cute, tidy and comfortable. I had easy access to cable, wifi, and pretty much everything I could need. The location was a short cab ride downtown and in a nice area with tons of places to go nearby. I would happily stay again."
22982,1221565,2012-05-03,1795483,Erin,Gina's converted attic was lovely and perfect for our stay in Austin at the convention center.  Thanks for letting us stay there!
22982,1242683,2012-05-07,2225821,Trish,"We had a great time in Austin staying at Gina's place. This is a really good choice for a group of four. Good location near enough to all the fun downtown action like the lake, 6th street and an adorable coffee shop, cafe Medici, where they will make your cappuccino perfectly.  We really felt welcome through out the stay. The fridge is a little small, so if you are planning on cooking, this may not be the spot for you. Thanks Gina!"
22982,1264332,2012-05-11,1225421,Stefan,"Everything went smooth and our host was very friendly.
Its about 12 to 15 minutes walk to Whole Foods Market
and a little bit moremto Downtown.
The Neighbourhood is very quiet."
22982,1818262,2012-07-28,2317063,Marty,"Gina's place was very nice. My son stayed there for 10 weeks and it was perfect. Great location. Nicely furnished and pleasant neighborhood. 

Thanks for everything."
22982,2475016,2012-10-01,3616336,Clark,"The apartment was amazing.  It was reasonably close to 6th Street (about an $8 cab ride), and Gina and her husband were very accommodating and gave us some great tips for places to visit in Austin.  I highly recommend staying here."
22982,2718679,2012-10-25,1279510,Carol And Tom,"The Empty Nest was a great experience from start to finish. It is in a lovely neighborhood just far enough from a major street to be quiet yet close enough to be convenient to downtown Austin. Gina and Ken provided many thoughtful extras - maps, snacks, fans, Post Office runs - and were available most of our stay though not ""hovering"". They are a wonderful resource in Austin and we would gladly stay again. I would recommend The Empty Nest to anyone staying in Austin for more than a night who wants a home away from home rather than a swish hotel."
22982,2885659,2012-11-15,1968618,James & Lori,"My colleague and I were visiting for a workshop at UT Austin - Gina's place was perfect!  The neighborhood was very charming and quiet, and there was a shuttle to campus right around the corner.  We also walked 3 blocks to the local grocery store and ate at Zocalo Cafe, a terrific little fresh-mex place similarly close.  The apartment itself was clean and well stocked with a microwave, mini-fridge, silverware, cups, tv with cable and more.  Definitely recommend for a stay in Austin!  Especially if you need a place with 2 full, private bedrooms."
22982,3161940,2012-12-27,3740576,Mollie,"This apt. is private and in a wonderful neighborhood. The owners were very friendly and accomodating. I'd stay there again.

22982,3678772,2013-03-03,4138534,Helene,"Very nice and spacious loft in excellent and calm position. Gina and Ken a generous hosts helping us with all our needs. We were 4 persons, one was sleeping in the living room very comfortably. The beds in the bedrooms are narrow for two persons - only suitable for couples ;-) The kitchen is very small but equipped - you cannot really cook here."
22982,3759995,2013-03-12,296231,Chester,"Loved my stay at ""The Empty Nest"" during SXSWi this year. Gina and Ken were warm and welcoming and everything about the place is great. The location (easy 20-30 min walk to downtown or a quick cab or Car2Go) was convenient, the price was very reasonable, the rooms were spacious, and really couldn't ask for more. Thanks!"

22982,4254502,2013-04-22,5722938,Arthur,"Gina was a great host. The apartment was exactly what we were expecting, very clean and all linen was provided. It is set in an incredibly nice part of Austin. The location is ideal, for anyone looking to explore the city itself as it is close enough that you are never more than a 10 minute cab ride from most things. Overall huegly enjoyed our stay. So thanks very much. "
22982,7469607,2013-09-21,2722433,David,Gina place was very clean and within good walking distance to local hotspots.  Gina was very helpful with tips and navigation around Austin.  We'd love to come back!

22982,8757767,2013-11-16,7723098,Tiffany,The place was perfect for us! Great location- right near 6th St and Lamar. The place was very thoughtfully stocked with lots of things you might need. Gina was very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay.
22982,8817433,2013-11-19,9430825,Nicola,"Lovely accommodation in a great location. Clean and plenty of towels - thank you. We stayed two nights in Austin on the weekend of the F1 GP. We are now tending to choose apartment style accommodation when we travel over a hotel room. Off street parking here too which was great. Would recommend this apartment.

22982,10833716,2014-03-10,2199287,Drew,"Ken and Gina are great hosts. They are plugged into the music and restaurant scene in Austin and happy to share advice on where the most fun is to be has. They are unbelievably generous, Ken even gave us a ride to the airport when cabs were hard to come by during SCSW.

The accommodations are great - clean, and plenty of space for three of us on a guys weekend. "
22982,10997288,2014-03-17,6349342,Nick,"Staying here was a great experience. Gina and Ted were very accommodating. We stayed for 7 days and they checked in to see if we needed anything, but it wasn't necessary because they think of so much before you even arrive. Awesome place to stay."

So we found a nice and clean flat in a great area and great town. Very nice hosts - thank you for letting us stay with you. We really can recommend the ""Empty nest"". Christine Johnson"
22982,20903079,2014-10-07,10355571,Mike,"A friend and I recently stayed at the empty nest for ACL and a UT game. Great location (within 2 miles of basically anywhere), and everything about the accommodations was accurate. Gina was a great host, and very helpful with any questions we had. "
22982,22027602,2014-10-28,14304136,Tom,"I've stayed in the Empty Nest before, and liked it then, as I liked it this time round. The apartment is clean and pleasant and the beds are extremely comfortable. It's located in an extremely attractive part of town. It's a bit of a walk from the town centre, but a good walk, which takes you past many enticing bars and restaurants. Overall, judging the place for location, quality and warmth of welcome, I'd say it's pretty close to perfect. Thanks, Gina. "
22982,22312045,2014-11-03,11322027,Paris,"Thank you Gina! You guys were such gracious host… 
They were quick to try to accommodate our requests. Their places are absolutely charming and cozy place, larger than expected. A spacious 2 bedroom in a lovely neighborhood. Definitely will try to stay again! Wonderful experience!"
22982,22978567,2014-11-19,20891384,Gary,My wife and I truly enjoyed our visit to Austin. We spent 4 nights at The Empty Nest and really enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and had very comfortable beds. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood within walking distance to shops and restaurants. I highly recommend the Empty Nest as a great place to stay. We plan on making it our first choice to stay on our many return trips to Austin.
22982,26754653,2015-02-18,16282722,Meghan,"We were in Austin for a long weekend, and our entire stay at Gina's apartment was fantastic.  Check in was a breeze, and she had left snacks and drinks in the fridge for our arrival.  The apartment is very clean and spacious with two full bedrooms, a full bath with plenty of fluffy towels, and the beds were extremely comfortable.  We had rented a car and mostly drove to downtown as we didn't luck out with great weather, but the apartment is easily within walking distance to many bars and restaurants.  It's a safe, quiet neighborhood - the perfect sanctuary, and SO much better than a hotel!  Can't say enough great things, it's the perfect place to stay in Austin!"
22982,27006640,2015-02-23,16615727,Sarah,"This was my first experience using Airbnb, and it was fabulous! We arrived at the Empty Nest and were greeted with a nice welcome note with recommendations of nearby restaurants and stores, drinks, and snacks. It was a cute, cozy 2-bed place that looked just like the photos; we loved how it felt like we were staying at a friend's house and just chilling! It was perfect for the four of us.

One thing that struck me was the attention to detail in the apartment. There were to-go menus of nearby restaurants hanging on the wall, books and magazines about Austin, Austin drink coasters...even the drinks in the little fridge reflected a certain Texas feel. There were movies available to watch, a chess/checkers board, plenty of extra blankets and towels, and some amenities in case you forgot shampoo, soap, and the like.

The apartment was tucked away on the second floor behind the main house; the surrounding trees and small, open air front porch area was refreshing in the mornings and evenings. Their cat Pawlee visited us a few times during our stay and got lots of love from my cat-loving husband. :) We ended up walking through the neighborhood to the grocery store 3 blocks away, and we felt safe, secure, and enjoyed the quiet scenery.

Since we spent a good part of the weekend near downtown and 6th Street, it was so convenient to drive literally 5 minutes to anywhere we needed to go. We visited some stores nearby - Whole Foods flagship store (so huge and awesome!), Anthropologie, REI, BookPeople.

We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin!"
22982,28066939,2015-03-17,13122754,Gwan,"Gina was extremely welcoming and helpful. Very responsive to emails and we couldn't ask for anything more.

The apartment itself is bigger than the pictures make it out to be. I didn't even realize there were 2 bedrooms! Originally there were only supposed to be three of us, which would have been perfect, however we ended up having a 4th person stay... it was a 'little' tight but totally manageable and we all had a great time.

Highly recommend both the apartment and the host!"
22982,28510936,2015-03-25,17302857,Francesca,"I stayed at Gina's empty best with my boyfriend and two friends for SXSW and had a great time. Both Gina and her husband Ken were really accommodating and quick to respond if we ever needed them for anything. They had lots of great suggestions for places to go in the area and made us feel at home straight away. The empty nest itself is a great place and looks exactly as it does in the photos, there's lots of space and a lovely veranda at the front which is great to sit out in the evenings and take in your surroundings. It's within walking distance to Wholefoods and downtown as well as some great restaurants in the opposite direction too. I'd recommend the empty nest to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
22982,30416048,2015-04-21,3199845,Erika,"This is such a fantastic space! It is huge, really cozy, all the amenities you could need. Gina made it super easy for check in and check out. The space is very close and walkable to downtown. The one thing I would point out is that there is a VERY steep hill (think, there are stairs for part of it, that's how steep) to walk to the block Gina's house is on. Pro tip: walking west on 6th street and then north, rather than west on 12th street, is a much less steep climb. The space itself was perfect, comfy, everything you could need. "
22982,31006020,2015-04-30,30326382,Sevan,"Gina's place was absolutely wonderful! It was very clean, larger than it looked from the pictures, and full of yummy snacks and drinks to welcome us. The place is also very private and quiet, and has a lovely porch looking out onto a yard. Gina was an attentive host, and was always responsive to questions. I am looking forward to staying again!"
22982,31360135,2015-05-04,26019996,Giancarlo,"Gina is wonderful, the place is exactly as advertised and has everything you need, and is in a very convenient location.  Nothing but great things to say.  Thanks Gina!  "
22982,32929750,2015-05-23,30538793,Morgan,Great space - so close to downtown yet a charming area with great old homes and buildings around the streets nearby.  Coffee is walking distance.  Love the wood staircase leading to the charming little porch and entry.  It creates a very private feeling and although there are homes and apartments next door I saw very few people and only heard others a couple times. This was my first airbnb and I loved it.  Thanks Gina and Ken I'll be back.  This was a business trip and normally I book at a hotel but wanted to try the empty nest - what a great value compared to the cost of a hotel.  I also used Uber for the first time - the empty nest had Uber drivers less than 5 minutes away everytime.  Super convenient.
22982,33134948,2015-05-25,1929099,Akash,"Gin's apartment is exactly as described in the listing. It is clean, comfortable with two bedrooms that was more than enough space for us and a parking space. Gina was very flexible in our check in and check out times and it was very nice of her to keep the kitchen stalked with beverages and snacks. The neighborhood is in a great residential area that is quiet, safe and very close to downtown. So it was perfect for me and my girlfriend. Overall I'm very satisfied with our stay at Gina's empty nest. "
22982,46531705,2015-09-11,5589545,Adrien,I had a wonderful time at the Empty Nest for my first ten days as an Austin resident. Gina and Ken are exceptional hosts and very welcoming. 
22982,52215778,2015-10-27,39277517,Kevin,"What a great little place.  Two spacious double rooms and I guess a sofabed but we never tried it.  Kitchen was well equipped for s few days stay and we were very comfortable.  Not too far from Downtown and easy/cheap rides on Uber are always only minutes away.

We only met Gina and her husband once but they seem like pleasant people, the stay was totally private and quiet round the back of their property.  Recommended."
22982,52990111,2015-11-03,17221112,Amy,"Gina's apartment was wonderful! Great location and easily comfortable for 3-4 people. Uber rides to 6th street, Rainey, and downtown were $6-8. I didn't meet Gina herself, but her husband Ken was super friendly and laid back. Gina accommodated our changes in travel plans and was easy to communicate with. Overall, I would definitely recommend this listing for someone staying for a weekend, or even longer :)"
2296386,10940613,2014-03-14,9934661,Jürgen,"Oh, we had a great time in Austin. It´s such a inspiring City with very friendly and open minded people. John und Vivien have been the best hosts ever. We had a 5 Star Luxury Airbnb. We have been the first guests. Everything was great. A very clean House, with plenty of space. A wonderful decorated room with with a private bathroom. We felt very comfortable and had freedom to use the whole house. The nice house is located in a wonderful area with nice views of the hills. 
It´s very quiet. Thanx for everything! "
2296386,11225472,2014-03-25,76115,Sharon,Vivien and John's home is lovely and welcoming. They are wonderful hosts who are about their guests. My eight days spent in their home were relaxing and enjoyable. I recommend their room unconditionally.
2296386,11694895,2014-04-12,2097052,Fernando,"cannot get any better than this. Beautiful place, clean and organized and very charming and respectful owners. Next time in Austin, that's my place to stay. 
Forgot to mention it felt like home!"
2296386,11786126,2014-04-14,6188157,Waller,"John and Vivien were more than accommodating and welcoming when I arrived and for the duration of a stay in their beautiful home. Their home is easily accessible from downtown, very quiet in a beautiful canyon in Austin. I would highly recommend them as a host for a peaceful visit in or around Austin. "
2296386,11934814,2014-04-19,13715761,Benjamin,John and Vivian are wonderful.  It was like visiting old and beloved friends.  Can't wait to introduce my family to them.  The accommodations are very nice.
2296386,13116221,2014-05-19,15279209,Dorothy,John and Vivien were gracious host. The experience was much more than we expected. The room was clean and comfortable. The home was in  a new neighborhood with wonderful views. Their hospitality was amazing!!  Loved the coffee and breakfast snacks that were available to us. Vivien even served us yogurt and fresh berries on Sunday morning! Overall a wonderful maiden voyage into the world of Airbnb.
2296386,13449335,2014-05-27,15651125,Yang,"As long as you have a car to drive around, this is a extremely good place to stay. John and Vivien are so kind and nice to me and my wife that we did not even want to leave. Everything we could possibly need was ready for us the moment our reservation was accepted. The room is clean, quiet, well equipped and thoroughly prepared. We will definitely stay again if we travel to Austin or any nearby area."
2296386,14002959,2014-06-09,10645608,Whitney,"Wonderful stay with John and Vivian! The house is beautiful, the area is spectacular. We loved sitting on the balcony with them, overlooking the bird sanctuary. They were great hosts, providing us with everything we needed, including organic bath products and filtered water!"
2296386,14836171,2014-06-27,8587194,Edmund,"Vivian and John were quick in responding to our initial inquiry about availability.  They are very friendly and helpful through out the process leading up to our stay and, once we arrived in town, they were very accommodating of our somewhat quirky schedule.

We stayed for three days and we could not have been more pleased with our accommodations.  The room was beautifully furnished and very comfortable.  Even the view from the windows was spectacular.

Our activities during our stay were centered in the Bee Caves area and the Kilby's home was a short distance away.  The next time we need to use airbnb in Austin, we will definitely try to stay with the Vivian and John again."
2296386,15366465,2014-07-07,17384473,David,"We had a very good experience for our stay in South West Austin.  John and Vivien were very gracious hosts.  Their house and neighborhood are quite nice. The location was great for us as it is outside Austin city traffic and close(r) to many of our desired activities such as river tubing, the Hill Country and the SoCo area of Austin.  We would go again."
2296386,15493771,2014-07-10,6701102,Diana,"Vivien and John have a lovely, clean and comfortable home.  The neighborhood is new and quiet.   Perched up on a hill the house has a wonderful view overlooking  countryside.  It is very pleasant to sit out on the deck in the evening.   Of utmost importance the bed was very comfortable!  John and Vivien were very thoughtful and flexible with our plans.   I wish we had had more time to visit with them because they would be delightful to get to know better.  "
2296386,16180806,2014-07-22,2503227,Sheryl,"This was my first experience with airbnb and I couldn''t have picked a better couple to stay with. John and Vivien were very friendly, kind and helpful. Their house was immaculate, yet cozy. The neighborhood is a new development a little outside of Austin. The property exceeded my expectations. It's going to be really hard for other places to be as nice as this one, so the bar has been set high. I look forward to staying here next year. "
2296386,17525762,2014-08-13,76115,Sharon,"Best place to stay on the Oak Hill area! Excellent price for a beautiful room and private bath! I recommend these hosts, Vivien and John, as warm and welcoming. "
2296386,20004496,2014-09-22,155221,Maria," It was truly a pleasure to stay with John and Vivian recently.  They were both truly congenial and welcoming.  It is a measure of open heartedness to be able to comfortably open  your beautiful, new home to total strangers.  That takes a certain knack, and they have it.  The locale is ideally close to the pleasures of the Bee Have area.  We did not expect to have the best zoo experience of our lives at the Austin Zoo, about 5 minutes away.  There are some good restaurants not far away

In the 8 years of airbnb experience we have had, this was the first time we actually wanted to engage with the hosts.  It was a delight to do so!

They were both gracious and polite, which is rare to find today.... 

The accommodations were very comfy to boot."
2296386,20975079,2014-10-08,21976939,Krystle And Jeremiah,"This was our one year anniversary so we had lots of activites planned in the city.  John and Vivien were the icing on top of it all.  John met us in the driveway upon arrival to greet us and direct our parking!  During our three day stay, they were busy with their daily tasks, but still offered friendly conversation!  They are super kind, helpful and well informed about their city, back roads, traffic, restarants and parks.  The peacefulness of their home, the cleanliness and beauty made the stay even more pleasant.  The bedroom was very comfortable and having a connecting, private bathroom was awesome.  We used their kitchen for breakfast and tea each morning.  Vivien insisted on leaving the dishes for her, but... I washed them the first and last day!! We ate on their balcony and watched a full moon with a wind chime and crickets providing the score at night.  And upon departure, they allowed us to sing them a couple of songs!! haha.  They felt like family!  We would definitely stay there again:))  Lovely, loovely place.  Amazing people."
2296386,21504123,2014-10-19,4881098,Nico,"The perfect airbnb experience. 10 out of 10 stars. John and Vivien are great hosts who made my wife and me feel welcome as if we in our own home. The house is truly beautiful, spaceous, and tastefully decorated. Highly recommended!"
2296386,28044254,2015-03-16,588858,Marvin,"Great place to stay, very kind and thoughtful hosts. Would definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin."
2296386,28146472,2015-03-18,29062395,Katherine,"I cannot say enough good things about these gracious hosts. John and Vivien were so kind and great conversationalists. I stayed at there home while house hunting myself. They had vast knowledge of the area and I appreciated their opinions on the neighborhoods of Austin. They made me feel right at home. I slept great while there as well. The house and atmosphere of the house was grand as well. Elegant and comfortable. I wish I had the opportunity to be there a little longer! I would recommend their home to anyone traveling in the Austin, TX area. "
2296386,28707281,2015-03-29,27052216,Ryan,Perfect location to stay during our visit for a wedding in southwest Austin. We felt right at home with Vivien and John. 
2296386,32662384,2015-05-19,4052377,Ruth,John and Vivien are very great host.  Everything looks much better than the pictures.  Excellent view!  My daughter and I really enjoyed talking to both of them. They are very friendly and easy going.  Highly recommend to stay here.  I will definitely go back to stay with them again in July.  I love their coffee.
2296386,36538070,2015-06-29,76115,Sharon,"I stay with Vivien and John every time I visit (South) Austin.  Clean, private, gracious, beautiful - all describe the surroundings. They have different rooms in their home, but I always stay in the one without the TV. If you want to have a room with a television, just let them know. 

The hosts have a wealth of experiences from all over the world (my last trip, I caught them just as they were coming back from Spain.) They are excellent listeners and enjoy new people. 

If you prefer to be left alone for your own quiet time, Vivien and John are very accommodating.

As I've reviewed these wonderful hosts before, if you plan on staying in South Austin, this Airbnb is a five star home!"
2296386,37410840,2015-07-06,22537859,Roman,"We loved staying with John and Vivien, such kind and thoughtful hosts. We felt welcome in their beautiful, open home. The bed was comfortable, linens nice, and my wife loved the organic toiletries offered. The patio was a nice treat, a quiet and peaceful space. We'd be happy to stay again."
2296386,39666901,2015-07-25,16211020,Renee,I stayed here for close to a month and absolutely loved it.  I will remain with John and Vivien.  They are absolutely wonderful people and hosts.  The accommodations couldn't have been more comfortable.  John even went with me to look at cars.
2296386,40174758,2015-07-28,3756489,Maggie,John and Vivien are very friendly people. They have a very very beautiful house with wonderful view and environment. The house is very big and the room was very new. We enjoyed our stay very much even though we had to leave early before our expected departure date. We would definitely come back again. 
2296386,41881698,2015-08-09,35080648,Carrie,"We had the most marvelous time getting to know John & Vivien. The house was meticulously clean & beautifully decorated. Our room was spectacular! Bed was comfortable & clean; the room was welcoming. The private bathroom was spotless & the water softening system left our skin feeling fabulous! Coffee bar downstairs, great views, even better hosts & we can't wait to go back or refer family and friends. Better than any hotel! "
2296386,45913852,2015-09-06,43245212,Tim,John and Vivian were very welcoming - John helped carry our bags in and they showed us around their home.  It was as beautiful as the pictures - warm and inviting.  
2296386,47863233,2015-09-21,25863929,Ryan,Stayed 2 nights for a wedding. John and Vivien were great hosts. A lovely clean house in a quiet neighborhood. I would stay agin when in the area. 
2296386,49681809,2015-10-05,44393499,Sheri,"This was the perfect spot for our Austin stay! It was our first time to use Airbnb and it was fantastic. Vivien was an awesome host and she made sure we felt at home and very welcomed. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect! We were even running late to check in due to a highway accident and it wasn't a problem at all. We kept in constant communication. 

Her home is beautiful and well maintained. The room was perfect and very clean! The pictures provided doesn't do the deck view justice. The hills of green trees are amazing. Vivien also let us check out a little late so we could sleep in! Thrilled with our choice to stay here. You will be too!"
2296386,50692431,2015-10-13,45378069,Chuck,"We were visiting Austin to see our daughter, son in law and GRANDSON.  This was our first Airbnb experience and the visit exceeded our expectations. Vivian was an outstanding Hostess (John was out of town) and she made us feel like guests in her home.  The place was beautiful. One morning we had coffee on a deck and watched the sun rise. If in the area again we would jump at the chance to stay in John and Vivian's home thru Airbnb.
GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!"
2296386,53136399,2015-11-05,46160470,Eddie,"Beautiful and peaceful neighborhood. Vivian brought us cold filtered water every night up to our rooms, and left us two chocolates! She insisted on doing the dishes once we had rinsed them off, and provided very detailed instructions of their expectations, and our freedoms! They are a very ""green"" family, which was a wonderful and perfect Austin experience! Hopefully we can take some of that back to Houston! Great experience!"
350072,1471228,2012-06-12,2559467,Jimmy,We stayed here for a weekend. The house was beautiful and clean. Plenty of outdoor space with a backyard and 2 covered porches. The location was great; we were able to walk to the South 1st and South Congress areas easily and safely. Jessica and Nick were great hosts. We are planning on staying here again with our next visit to Austin!
350072,1699567,2012-07-13,617076,Sarah,"Wow!  What a treasure we found in this fab neighborhood!  Our family, including a toddler, really enjoyed this lovely home nestled into the PERFECT neighborhood!  We were able to either walk or drive to so many parks, restaurants, etc......even a public library within a block.  The home itself was perfectly equipped, right down to the impeccably clean bed linens and plush, fresh towels.  This home has it all and the energy you need.  Plentiful amounts of natural light during the day and the ability to  block it out when the sun goes down.  Beautiful porch off the master bedroom that will leave wanting the sun to go down.....great skyline views, to boot!  There is a grocery store within a mile and a great little convienance store within 2 blocks. The hosts of this home were very professional and easy to work with.  Can't wait for our next visit!  Thanks! -Sarah"
350072,2856982,2012-11-11,1246229,Elizabeth,Jessica was extremely nice and accommodating and her house couldn't be lovelier.  I highly recommend!
350072,8781244,2013-11-18,8573777,Jonathan,"This house was awesome. Perfect location, perfect size, perfect hosts! The house is amazing, from how it's decorated to the layout and size. Jessica met us on arrival and she is just a cool person. Everyone in our group decided that we not only wanted to be friends with her but bring her to each of our houses so that she can decorate them all. She is very welcoming and accommodating, left little treats out for us which was very kind, took us on a tour of their awesome pad, recommended nearby places to visit, and even let us use their bikes which they had five of. Her and her husband were obvious music lovers as there were speakers and iPod connections everywhere plus I recognized some Postal Service lyrics in a piece of their art work...sweet! Plus their record player and collection were the tops. The location of the house was perfect, not close to the hustle and noise of the city but close enough to downtown and nearby shops and restaurants/food trucks. There was plenty of parking and finding it was a breeze. The patio and upstairs balcony were perfect too. You can see part of the city at night from the second story patio balcony and the downstairs patio have ceiling fans! This is a great home and we will definitely be back to visit and try to reserve this home again. Highly recommended!"
350072,10917748,2014-03-13,1467930,Mads,"What a great and charming house. Nick and Jessica was ready when we arrived late in the evening to show us the house and everything we needed was in place. Everything was very clean and there was some nice welcome gifts that was very appreciated after a long trip. There was a good solid wi-fi witch was important for us and we could use the drums and guitar witch was a nice bonus. We spent a lot of time in the well equipped kitchen.
The bus 5 right outside the house, gave us easy access to downtown (8-10 min.) and there was small food shop next to the bus stop. There are plenty of nice things to say about the house, Nick and Jessica, but the best review is that we want to stay there next time we are going to Austin. Thanks for making our stay a pleasant one."

Room is a studio - its nice , bed was comfy.  Apartment was not the cleanest when I checked in, and there was no room to put my clothes ( I was there for 3 days ) . but overall very good.   "
7990203,52068021,2015-10-26,20703102,Gerard,"Jasdeep's place was very nice, clean and well kept. It was in the perfect location for downtown Austin activities and access to the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

919456,11385103,2014-03-31,3941858,Alex,Lara was a wonderful host! She let me book this rental last minute and got in touch with me right away regarding the booking details. Her unit is clean and was a wonderful place to stay. Highly recommended!
919456,11806898,2014-04-15,13350660,Atul,Lara was an excellent host!  The condo was exactly as pictured and extremely clean.  I would highly recommend this to any groups of people looking to stay in Austin.  The roof top deck is much bigger than shown and a great place to hang out with your party.
919456,13250632,2014-05-23,78748,Christy,Lara's place is AMAZING!  Loved the huge kitchen and the roof deck.  Only regret is not spending enough time there to properly enjoy it.  Highly recommended!
919456,18770692,2014-08-31,5739524,Rudy,Lara's place was beautiful and just as pictured. Easy to get around. Definitely recommend!
919456,20357951,2014-09-28,6371484,Pamela,"Lara's home is exactly how the pictures view it - beautiful and clean. The rooftop terrace is even bigger than it looks and provides for great space to relax and BBQ. 
As a host Lara was very attentive, responding quickly to any requests we had. Location of home is great for accessing SoCo street and S 1st restaurants. 
There was only one negative part to the stay and that was the noise of the trains near by during the night. Bring ear plugs!
Apart from that all in all everything was perfect."
919456,20810752,2014-10-06,3068352,Ally,"Lara was incredibly easy to communicate with, she went above and beyond to accommodate us.  Her home is absolutely beautiful and really well set up to have a few couples stay there as the bedrooms have in suite bathrooms.  The rooftop deck is gorgeous as well.  We had an amazing time."
919456,21194247,2014-10-13,15741631,Sean,"Stayed here for ACL and was a wonderful house.  Very modern, great location, and all amenities listed were accurate.  Would recommend staying here to anybody who wants to spend a few days in Austin."
919456,28118953,2015-03-18,948485,Nate,"This was our second time staying at Lara's during SXSW and it was excellent per usual. The place itself is in great condition and exactly like the pictures. Spacious, modern, clean and near the action of downtown Austin. Lara is always good at communication. "
919456,28403648,2015-03-23,27953958,Jon,"Everything about our stay was FANTASTIC. Lara provided us with clear instructions, a clean condo, and recommendations on local hot spots. The rooftop deck was a big highlight. I highly recommend  staying here for anyone visiting Austin."
919456,47885083,2015-09-21,5836753,Janet,Lara was a great host - she stepped up to accommodate us when our prior plans fell through at the last minute. The condo was even better than the photos and everything was in great shape.  We loved the rooftop deck and the neighborhood.  We look forward to staying at Lara's place on our next Austin trip!
919456,49589209,2015-10-05,801552,Nicole,"Comfortable, spacious, and welcoming are a few words that describe this gorgeous townhouse.  I am just returning home from my stay at Lara's place and to be honest I wish I was still there.  The kitchen has plenty of room to cook in.  The bedrooms are large and very comfortable.  And the bathrooms are clean and well kept up.  The location is just 10minutes away from downtown (in a taxi or Uber.. not walking distance) , and close to many attractions that Austin has to offer.  If you are looking for a place to stay in South Austin I would recommend this modern and beautiful home.

Thank you Lara for a wonderful place to stay."
919456,50271460,2015-10-11,10572162,Colleen,"Lara's place was amazing! Truly as advertised, very modern sleek apartment with a beautiful roof deck. We were a large group and everyone had enough beds and bathrooms to feel comfortable. Lara was a great communicator and made our stay stress free and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend staying at her place if you're visiting Austin!!"
5394189,28140812,2015-03-18,9928022,Brandon,"Hosts were very welcoming, even providing a nice gift to welcome us to their apartment. The complex was a short ride to downtown and very convenient for SXSW.

Would have preferred if the apartment was a bit cleaner upon our arrival, however."
5394189,33049347,2015-05-24,33830735,Jessica,"Harman was extremely nice and accommodating. He made us feel right at home, quickly responded to any questions over text, left us a bottle of wine, and made checking in/out super easy (despite some car trouble on our end that led to a much later arrival than we previously thought). "
5394189,51885095,2015-10-25,4440755,Siddhartha,Harman was great at receiving us. Gave restaurant recco's etc. 
5606908,30468612,2015-04-22,8551719,Padraic,"The apartment is clean, and in a nice complex.  

Host was quite stressed out due to her schooling and at times I felt like i was an inconvenience.  I was asked on several occasions to not be in the room I rented so it could be used for her day job.  

For a better experience, I would recommend the host post clear and consistent rules which apply to all members of the household, and not sleep with her door open.  
"
5606908,49686456,2015-10-05,44507093,Sam,"Juliana was a great host! She was very kind and hospitable, great location, and plenty of space for our group. She even drove us to the festival one day, which was extremely thoughtful. A great place to stay for anyone visiting Austin!"
5179139,28174923,2015-03-19,27958497,Kirsten,"A great first experience and super hospitality. I was very comfortable and Shelley made a real effort to make her place like a home from home. If I come back next year for SXSW I will definitely hope to book with her again. Great, convenient location and quiet – perfect for me. Best wishes, Kirsten"
5373129,28141329,2015-03-18,28742483,Sean,"First off, Irene was a great host. She was very thorough with things to do around the neighborhood and Austin in general. She was very accommodating. And her place was very clean on arrival. All pretty good stuff. The only caveats from my stay is that it was a bit pricey and is that the neighborhood, while only a five-minute bike ride from downtown, is still a bit up-and-coming.    "
5373129,29336527,2015-04-06,12181548,Matthew,"Irene made us feel very welcome at her place. It was very clean and exactly like the description. The place is a short walk from Rainey st bars and a longer walk from 6th bars. The bikes were great to cycle along the greenbelt. 
The place is in a great location, being just out of the way from the action to be quiet but close enough to walk there. 
Overall we had a great time and would definitely recommend. "
5373129,45845755,2015-09-06,2905954,Chrissy,"The house was awesome. Myself and three other people stayed and we got along just fine! Irene provided us bikes so we rode around a bunch, which was awesome to not have to pay for the shared bikes in the area. Downtown is SO close, as is Rainey street. But the area where the house is, East Austin, also has tons of stuff.

The wi-fi only worked on the first day and then it crapped out the rest of the time we were there. Irene was out of town and unavailable, which we knew, so we couldn't contact her.

The house was really clean, she provided towels/washcloths, bedrooms were tidy, beds were pretty comfortable, A/C saved our lives.

The house is actually a coach house behind the main house on the front of the lot, your Uber driver will be confused ha."
5373129,49591435,2015-10-05,8216367,Walter,"Irene was a perfect host, and her instructions and recommendations made our stay in Austin way better than we had planned. East Austin is rapidly becoming my favorite part of the city, and Irene greatly contributed to increase my love for it.

Her place is great. Quiet enough, great location, spacious and comfortable. Both bikes are absolutely gorgeous, such a joy to ride them on the beautiful trails by the river."
4582613,24956439,2015-01-04,18823108,Jeremy,"Best Airbnb we have stayed at to date! This nice home is nestled in a very safe a quite neighborhood. The pictures of the home really do it justice! The inside and outside are exactly what you would expect. Nice, clean, and spacious! My wife and another couple stayed for 1 night, and it was easy access to everything in Austin, without having to be in a clustered area. I highly recommend this home! Tatiana was overwhelmingly an amazing host, and made sure that our stay was comfortable and complete. I hope we can stay here again, and longer next time! "
4582613,25276324,2015-01-11,24639547,Heather,This was our first experience and it was a great one!  Your house is absolutely beautiful and in a convenient location for us.  Nice quiet neighborhood.  So much space for everyone.  I think we will be doing this again!  Since i think we will be visiting Austin again in the future I will be checking to see if this is available!  Thank you for making it a great experience.
4582613,25559077,2015-01-19,6868030,Vincent,Tatiana was a most excellent hostess. !!! Everything was better than described and very neat/clean. I would recommend to anyone.
4582613,28263074,2015-03-21,26186391,Amy,"Tatiana's home was clean and inviting! She did a great job of communicating and making us feel welcome!  It is very tastefully decorated.  With being such an open concept, it really allowed us to enjoy each other without feeling cramped! It was an easy commute to downtown Austin or Soco. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends!"
4582613,31978415,2015-05-12,10770718,Rachel,"What a wonderful experience. The house is located in a beautiful area. Spacious, comfortable, and adorable. Not to mention the world's most adorable and friendly cat. "
4582613,32183918,2015-05-15,13345467,Alan,"Tatiana's home was absolutely gorgeous! Very clean, lots of light and incredibly comfortable! We only stayed for a few days leading up to our wedding with our Maid of Honor and her husband, but we all really enjoyed our stay! If you're staying in Austin, I highly recommend her home!"
4582613,34280010,2015-06-07,28212482,Scott,"Tatiana has a beautiful home in Austin.  It is so open and comfortable you can't help but feel right at home.  She always responded to our questions quickly and was the most gracious hostess.  We truly enjoyed our stay there and would highly recommend it.  Thank you, Tatiana."
4582613,35247524,2015-06-16,33534755,Will,"I stayed at Tatiana's home for one week.  It was my first time using Airbnb and I couldn't have felt more at home.  After staying at Tatiana's house I can't imagine ever staying in a hotel anywhere ever again.  I was very impressed with everything.  I feel like the pictures just don't do the place enough.  The house was very spacious, very comfortable, and the location was excellent.  Her home is located about 2 miles from the grocery store, and 3 miles from the highway.  The house has a wonderful backyard and wonderful living spaces.  If you are going to staying in Austin / South Austin, I highly recommend her house!"
4582613,35965433,2015-06-23,35387018,Kyla,"I was very impressed with Tatiana's home. It was very clean and exactly Ias described. I would definitely recommend staying here. I know if I'm ever in Austin again, this will be the first place I try and get. Tatiana was also great at communication and replied to all of my questions very quickly! An easy 5 stars!!!"
4582613,36680013,2015-06-30,27131500,Matthew,"Tatiana's home was the perfect retreat for my family and I during our stay in Austin.  The neighborhood was very quiet and conveniently located to anything you needed and just a short drive to downtown.  Also,  Tatiana was very responsive in case we had any questions.  Thanks again for sharing your home!"
4582613,40885547,2015-08-03,26067876,Paola,"My family and I stayed for 29 nights at Tatiana's home. The place is just as the pictures show it. It is confortable and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, wonderful location. Tatiana has been all this time an excelent host, responding clearly and promptly to our questions. I couldn't imagine a nicer host. I highly recommend this listing. "
4288495,36672249,2015-06-30,7986075,Melissa,Great experience at Mark's house! Very clean and exactly as he described it. The neighborhood was very quiet and easy to navigate. 
5832756,29795099,2015-04-12,30673217,Phillip,"We had a great time staying at Brian's place. Tidy house, plenty of space and comfortable. Flexible check-in and out was key as well, no stress. Thank you! Helped make our Austin experience."
5832756,30352691,2015-04-20,22862417,Daniel,We were welcomed by our host very nicely. The restroom and bedrooms had everything you needed from shampoos and towels to pillows and blankets. The house was cozy and 5 miles from everything we ever need for the weekend 
5832756,36475715,2015-06-28,33239107,Stevie,"Really enjoyed my stay in this home! It was spacious, loved the kitchen and amenities. Host was very helpful - felt like home, everything provided, and even wrote us a list of best places to eat or check out in city. Cozy and clean, highly recommend! "
5832756,51939049,2015-10-25,33857405,Laurel And Sokhyon,Very clean and comfortable home. 
5402410,28092753,2015-03-17,28186475,Craig,"This is a great studio apartment, right on the riverside. The block is well equipped, with gym, business centre and lounge area. I stayed for SXSW and chose to walk to downtown each morning - a lovely 20 minutes along the river. My host was very helpful, waiting for my evening flight to show me around the apartment and explain how everything worked. Very helpful and appreciated."
6628509,37214793,2015-07-05,22158951,Noelle,"Awesome host! The space was more than enough. Very clean and accommodating.   Lyft/uber was about $20 to downtown. It was my first time signing up so we got $100 in free rides which covered the entire weekend.  
Would definitely stay again. Thanks, John!"
765098,3338837,2013-01-13,4478160,Jim,By luck I discovered Airbnb and found Carrie's listing in Austin.  Carrie made us feel welcome and we found her apartment perfect for our extended stay.  The location to downtown Austin and the trendy SoCo (South Congress) restaurants and shops made it easy to walk or take a short drive to all of our favorite places.  I love that the apartment is part of a wonderful older home in a wonderful walkable neighborhood.  We would not hesitate to come back.
765098,3745154,2013-03-11,2402365,Karl,"The apartment had a real cozy, homely feel to it. I was super comfortable for my stay in Austin and although I didn't have much use for the kitchen, it was great to have access to one with a nice coffee maker and all you'd need. It's located in a beautiful part of Austin but if you're there over SXSW, make sure you rent a bike for your stay as taxi's were impossible to book. Granted it's only about a 25 minute walk to downtown so no biggy really.
Carrie was really nice and checked in on me to make sure I had everything I needed."
765098,3803930,2013-03-17,4430462,Jacque,"Carrie's place was fantastic.  It was in the perfect location for us (we brought our bikes) and it felt like home from the get go!  Our hosts were super helpful and the apartment was very clean and comfortable.  They even had coffee in our kitchenette for us which was so nice!  We loved the stay, the hosts, and Mani!  Definitely hope to return and stay again someday!"
765098,3940992,2013-03-29,5409245,Jenny,The apartment was very comfortable and beautifully decorated.  We were walking distance from downtown Austin and a great deal of restaurants on South Congress when we wanted to stay in the neighborhood.  Had a really lovely visit to Austin and highly recommend the apartment!
765098,4687466,2013-05-20,5898557,Matthew,"Great, roomy apartment.  Would stay again.  Couldn't be more centrally located and comfortable.  "

"
765098,12876723,2014-05-13,10535788,Chelsey,"Carrie's place is in a great location; a quick bike ride to SoCo and downtown. Carrie was a great hostess and was extremely accommodating. Her place is very clean, charming, and comfortable. If ever back in Austin, I'd definitely stay here again! "
765098,18812538,2014-09-01,18997581,James,"Carrie's space is very peaceful and relaxing, zen. The only thing I heard at night were frogs and night creatures, birds during daylight. So close to the city yet felt like I was staying at a well kept cabin in the woods. Perfect balance."
765098,22016732,2014-10-28,19993069,Rich,"The house was exactly as described. Cute, very comfortable. Loved the neighborhood. "

765098,29001090,2015-04-02,28761975,Michael,"We had a great time in Austin, and loved the apartment on Avondale. Our host was very welcoming, and the neighborhood is terrific. The apartment was comfortable, spacious, and has everything you need for a home away from home. Parks & restaurants & downtown are all nearby, so we highly recommend."
765098,30704644,2015-04-26,16543416,Elizabeth,The apt was located in a very nice neighborhood.  It is within walking distance to many shops and restaurants.  The apt was clean and had all the amenities we needed.  I would definitely stay there again while visiting Austin.  
765098,31225479,2015-05-03,25859881,Kate,"Laura's house is incredible. Beautifully decorated, and comfortable. You feel as if you're in a treehouse. Laura was a great host, very easy to communicate and coordinate with. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but is conveniently located, with plenty of nearby restaurants and attractions. I would definitely recommend this place. "
765098,49918058,2015-10-07,2321591,Ximena,"I spent amazing days in this house. The neighborhood is so beautiful, peaceful and safe. We went out everyday jogging by the broadwalk by Ladybird Lake. Easy to get downtown, walking distance. The house is amazing, its so cozy and neat. The bathroom is a plus! I can't detail every part of the house, because all of it is just perfect. And Laura was a great host. She was helpful since the beginning, giving us tips to get around and helping in anything we needed. I recommend this lovely place 100%"
4309531,21640917,2014-10-20,2948627,Kelsey,"Sarah gave us a fantastic stay in Austin. The place is extremely clean and newly updated. It is in a great neighborhood close to many shops and stores, super central, and beautiful to stroll through.  Sarah was an awesome host and provided everything we could need like toiletries and kitchen goods to make it feel like home. All of her small touches made our stay extremely comfortable and we absolutely want to stay there again. highly recommended! "

4309531,22416376,2014-11-05,22594495,Jaime,"Sarah was a wonderful host.  The Treehouse is like a magical refuge wonderfully appointed and with every amenity one could possibly need. Rosedale is a great neighborhood, close both to downtown and to North Austin and Tech Ridge. I really enjoyed the restaurants and shops nearby.  Would not hesitate to stay again. A great find!"
4309531,22842984,2014-11-16,8067662,Robin,"We loved Sarah's adorable apartment! The location is quiet, and a great base for visiting Austin. Sarah really is one of the best hosts we've ever had."
4309531,28163451,2015-03-19,5750360,Oyvind,"The apartment in Rosedale is in a quiet neighborhood, so quiet that the birds were my alarm clock for the week. Lovely! It's a bit away from the city center, but I used cabs (12-15 minutes) or the 803 bus (30 minutes).

The bed was amazing. I slept like a rock. The bathroom is clean with lots of hot water after a day at SXSW.

There's a tv with about two million channels, a huge fridge for your food - and a comfy sofa for relaxing.

There are lots of shops and food places around, but I would recommend Central market, a huge supermarket with tons of fresh vegetables/fruit, fish, meat, natural food, dinners, deserts etc. Crazy huge selection of top quality food. 

I would highly recommend Sarah's apartment for other Airbnb'ers!"
4309531,32820617,2015-05-22,30041422,Gülizar,Everything was Good.sarah was interested with us so much.location of Home was perfect.we had Good neıgbors.they were so frendly.ı reccommend this Home to everybody.thank you sarah for everythıng.
4309531,34915255,2015-06-13,20130093,Kimberly,"The list description is very accurate, and the garage apartment was absolutely perfect. It was very quiet, immaculate, well-appointed, and stocked with coffee, Topo Chico, and even a welcome bottle of wine! Check-in and check-out was an absolute breeze. I really appreciated the instant booking option, and the ease of simply picking up the key from a lockbox. The location was ideal for my needs. Central to everything in Austin, but in a very quiet, residential location just near a park. I could not be happier with my experience staying at Sarah's garage apartment, and recommend it very highly."
4309531,36529294,2015-06-29,8067662,Robin,"We love our little ""home away from home"" in Austin, and Sarah is a fantastic host. Perfect location, perfect size--what more could you ask for?"
4309531,40996508,2015-08-03,27248737,Gail,"Sarah has been a most responsive and gracious host .   Upon arriving at the apartment I found the fridge stocked with mineral waters, coffee and creamer, and a nice bottle of wine.  My stay in Austin was indeterminate at the time I arrived and Sarah has been most gracious in extending me twice for a total of 3 1/2 weeks in her delightful garage apartment.  The place is lovely ... fresh, sparkling clean and very posh.  I will stay here again given the opportunity.  Fantastic neighborhood with a great great location close to everything I needed.  I could not be more pleased with this accommodation."
4309531,42447745,2015-08-13,27248737,Gail,"Sarah's garage apartment could not be more charming!  Everything fresh, clean, updated. And very pretty too!  Delightful family neighborhood.  Sarah herself was fabulous to work with.  My date of departure kept changing and she was most gracious to allow me flexibility.  At one point there was a glitch with the air-conditioner and I was expecting 2 to 3 very hot daysbefore it would be fixed.  However Sarah had technician out within a couple of hours and problem solved!"
4309531,47837996,2015-09-21,22647372,Molly,"The apartment is cozy yet roomy with a well-appointed kitchen and bathroom.  Travel supplies may be found in a drawer in the bathroom along with a hairdryer which is a nice touch. It was nice not having to be away from my Smart TV as this apartment has one loaded up and ready to go, and when ready for quiet time, the bedroom provides a quiet and restful atmosphere. You can’t beat the central location and safe neighborhood, too. It was a great retreat after two full days of work. "
4309531,49159299,2015-10-01,8067662,Robin,"Love this place! We've become regulars for our trips to Austin--Sarah is incredibly gracious, and the apartment is great."
4309531,52706903,2015-11-01,23501254,Annie,"Sarah is an outstanding host. She is friendly, kind, communicative and responsive. I ran into a couple of small issues and Sarah took care of them quickly and thoroughly. She is the kind of host I love to happen upon. 

The place is as described and pictured. In the living area there is a comfy couch, 2 comfy chairs and a large smart tv with loads of channels including some movie channels. There is a four top tall dining table and in the bedroom, both the reading chair and the bed are very cozy and comfortable. There is ample lighting throughout (natural and man-made) and the AC is what it needs to be in Texas – strong and cold! The kitchen has full sized stainless modern appliances and is well stocked cookware wise. I cook most every meal and was able to do that easily.  Plus the kitchen was outfitted with coffee and tea along with creamers and a variety of sweeteners, flat bottled water and Topo Chico (sparkling mineral water) on my arrival. There are plenty of towels and extra linens and the place was stocked with plenty of paper products, hand soap and such. There is even a drawer in the lovely modern bathroom stocked with little things travelers may have forgotten and a hair dryer. Oh and the water pressure is strong. 

The garage that the apartment is over is only used for storage, so while it can be a bit noisy when it is opened it is not opened very often. It was my experience that it was only opened about once a week and never early or late. There is ample, safe street parking just steps from the apartment. The neighborhood is awesome! It’s lovely, very walking friendly and there is a small park that is very close. It’s also very convenient to so many great Austin amenities, restaurants and to MOPAC. The neighbors have been very friendly too. 

I would highly recommend Sarah’s apartment. In fact I extended my stay for another month!

2349328,21021584,2014-10-09,21936798,Doug,"Dani is accommodating and professional.  We stayed in two separate properties both of which were clean and well maintained.  The location is great because south congress is easily walkable but you also have your distance from that area where you get no noise and it is extremely quiet.  All in all, dani's properties are like well oiled machines with a great aesthetics and you (and your family) will feel comfortable and relaxed immediately.  "

Thank you, it was awesome."
2349328,22687099,2014-11-11,10852382,Mike,Booking experience was super easy and the house was amazing. The enclosed back patio was the perfect place to get a little work done. The neighborhood was quiet and very relaxing. The location is pretty much perfect. You're like 3 minutes away from South Congress but you feel like you're far away from the city.
2349328,23354729,2014-11-30,6848725,Devan,Calm and quiet space in excellent residential neighbourhood. Close proximity to SoCo and freeway. We were initially concerned about shared walls but never heard our neighbours. Host was quick to respond. Would recommend and stay again. 
2349328,23651166,2014-12-07,3041700,Marc,"Dani has a great place that is super centrally located to the fun South Congress district.  Travis Heights was a great place to relax and walk around, and this house was perfect.  We had a place to park our car, relax, and even a little hot tea. Thank you Dani!"
2349328,24325523,2014-12-26,4328325,John,"Great location
Great facility
Great host"

2349328,29745133,2015-04-12,19747740,Ken,Our stay was lovely despite gloomy weather. The space was perfect for me and my two friends. Perfect location and cozy home away from home. 
2349328,30953064,2015-04-29,22626202,Annalisa,"The property was beautiful, comfortable and clean and located in a perfect neighborhood of Austin.  We enjoyed morning walks every day.  Dani and Joel are great hosts and I would absolutely stay there again!"
2349328,32749811,2015-05-21,29460381,Jen,"Lovely home, exactly as promised! Owners checked in to see if we needed anything and were prompt with all replies. House was very clean with good amenities, and how to use everything explained in detail. Also great info about Austin in guidebook. Beautiful neighborhood and good location- only thing is if you have young  kids or older people like we did plan to drive or bike to restaurants/stores, it's a bit more than a short walk.  Overall great place!"
2349328,34229749,2015-06-06,33596766,Brandon,Very prompt communication. Detailed and accurate descriptions as well as instructions in the place once we arrived. Great neighborhood and the unit was nice and clean! Would definitely stay there again.
2349328,35077614,2015-06-15,4196400,Jessie,"We had a great time at Dani's place last week. It was incredibly clean and comfortable, we especially loved the outdoor patio. This place has everything you'll need for your stay whether it's a few days or longer. Would recommend this place over and over again. And sort of want my house to look just like it one day! "
2349328,35866802,2015-06-22,7486884,Amanda,"Our stay at Yellow Door was fantastic! Dani provided all of the essential details (and more!) for getting around the neighborhood, venturing to local hot spots, and taking care of the beautiful home. The house is walkable to fun restaurants and lovely boutiques on South Congress. It's a short trip Downtown for visiting the capitol building and 6th street eateries. This was the perfect location and perfect host for our girls' weekend!"
2349328,37147875,2015-07-05,6626933,Jason,"The listing was fantastic and the location was perfect, 10 minute walk and a 3 minute drive from south congress. The two bedrooms were perfect for our needs and the space was very clean and just as advertised in the listing."
2349328,37995570,2015-07-12,15434660,Victoria,"This place was great! Exactly as described/pictured. In a cute neighborhood that felt very central to all the restaurants/shops we wanted to visit. We loved the area guide that Dani left for us with cool restaurant recommendations. The decor is minimalist and modern, which we liked, but without sacrificing comfort. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back! "
2349328,39862731,2015-07-26,18565202,Hillary,"Loved our stay in Austin at Dani's place! The apartment was clean and modern worn plenty of room for four of us. The location is awesome for access to South Austin, Downtown, and I-35 in a very pretty neighborhood! We so enjoyed our stay."
2349328,49420675,2015-10-04,31878822,Jennifer,"My 3 college girlfriends and I had the most enjoyable long weekend in your modern chic home.  It met all of our needs and wants....from cleanliness to high end feature but most
Of all the comforts of home.  We loved Austin wouldn't hesitate to recommend your home to anyone considering a trip there.  "
2349328,51441048,2015-10-20,42066497,Peter,"Location, amenities, interior aesthetic, comfort -- one word: fabulous. Incredibly close to everything you'd want to do in Austin. The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable, it couldn't have been a better experience. Everything was ready when we arrived.
I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Austin."
2349328,52859837,2015-11-02,7250886,Adele,"Great apartment! Clean, nice furnishings and amply stocked with linens for a group stay. Location is residential but walkable to South Congress action."
156060,12295788,2014-04-28,13642033,Viana,"Teresa's treehouse was the ideal base for my visit to Austin. First of all the location is absolutely PERFECT!! Half a block to First St., half a block from SoCo and walking distance to the SoCo Bridge and downtown, if you can stand the heat. Even though I had a car there were plenty of shopping, dining and nightlife options in walking distance and, if the heat is just too much for you, there's always Freddie's around the corner.

Secondly, the treehouse itself was peaceful, cool and beautiful - from the wraparound porch to all the windows to the slate shower, to all the unique decorations Teresa has collected throughout her travels. I couldn't have asked for a more ideal spot. The bed was so comfortable it was hard to drag myself out of it every morning.

Teresa and her boyfriend were both delightful hosts and took the time to make sure there was a bicycle available, offer recommendations and insight on different things to do in the city, stocked the mini-fridge with beers and cold water, and placed plant and flower arrangements around the treehouse to make me feel at home. And they are both obviously just good, kind-hearted people.

The only things that I would say were lacking, and these are EXTREMELY minor and certainly wouldn't stop me from staying there again (I stay in a lot of very nice hotels for work so I admit I am quite spoiled and probably not a typical guest), are the lack of cable television (though there were a few different VHS tapes and a few local stations that came in) and an iPod player/charger. Very, very minor but sometimes it's nice to relax to a bit of TV. 

Overall, my experience with Teresa and her treehouse was amazing. I hope I have occasion to return to Austin - I would definitely stay at the treehouse over a hotel any day."
156060,12507233,2014-05-04,5439691,Kate,"Wonderful Place! Would stay here again in a second. Teresa was great, laid back and flexible when I wanted to add an extra night onto my stay. Tree house apartment was super cute and made me feel like I was on a mini vacation! Would recommend it to anyone. "
156060,13103250,2014-05-19,15105954,Brad,"We very much enjoyed our stay at Teresa's treehouse. She was accommodating and helpful. The room was full of light and yet private, very close to SoCo and 1st street. The shower was great.  Comfortable bed. Wonderful stay. Would recommend to anyone."
156060,13321347,2014-05-25,1294648,Melissa,Teresa was very friendly and the Treehouse was close to many near places in town. The private deck was a nice place to chill with a beer:)
156060,13376349,2014-05-26,15285730,Nicole,"Teresa's treehouse is absolutely perfect. I wish that I could have stayed longer just so I could spend more time in the treehouse! If I come back to Austin, I will definitely be staying here! "
156060,16170549,2014-07-22,17085374,Cynthia,Teresa was flexible and such a great host and her place was awesome! My husband and I enjoyed the tree house and the short walk to SoCo! We have no complaints and will definitely be coming back! 
156060,18366749,2014-08-25,7527775,Rocky,"Teresa was a very welcoming host, her place is beautiful and her dogs are too kind! We felt very well accommodated she even stocked the fridge with some beer & water which was a major plus after a 6 hour drive in Texas heat. The location can't be beat we were able to walk to most restaurants & bars and anywhere else was a cheap cab ride away. We really enjoyed kayaking the second day. It was all in all a great trip I highly recommend staying here. Great location and great host!"
156060,18891135,2014-09-02,7807144,Anastasia,"Loved my stay in the treehouse in Austin! Location is perfect, walkable to plenty of food and shopping options and Teresa was a great host. Would love to return and highly recommend to anyone looking for some funky digs in Austin. "
156060,19151897,2014-09-07,19508687,Ben,"Teresa made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. The treehouse was just as advertised and served as a perfect weekend getaway. Location was perfect, no more than a 2 minute walk to South Congress. Overall a great experience and I most definitely recommended Teresa's treehouse for anyone looking for a spot to stay in Austin. "
156060,19289707,2014-09-09,18291789,Lindsay,"Theresa and her treehouse were both amazing and lovely. Theresa was gracious and accommodating. The treehouse was a perfect place to stay. The bed was super-comfortable and the porch was a great place to relax after a long day. Close to all of the shops and action of the SoCo neighborhood, this was a great place to stay to experience Austin. "
156060,19577582,2014-09-14,20440167,Sean,"The tree house was everything we (my gf and I) hoped it would be. Very clean, great balcony, comfy soft bed. Teresa is very nice and easy to communicate with.  Location is great just 2 short blocks off of s. congress (the fun part of s. congress in the middle of all the action).  very walkable.  The dogs are calm and very nice, they kept to themselves and never bothered us. "
156060,19960214,2014-09-21,20817347,Donald,"I just returned from a long weekend in Austin and the Groovy SoCo  Treehouse.  
The house was easy to find with easy available free parking out front. Teresa was on-hand to greet me as soon as I arrived and showed me to the ""Treehouse"". I didn't see her the rest of the trip but was readily accessible if I needed anything.
The second floor room is tastefully and simply decorated. You see where it gets its name as you lay in bed looking out the wall of windows through the tree tops.
The location is convenient to So Congress and 1st Ave restaurants and food trucks. Being so close to the fun stuff, it is incredibly quiet.
Teresa's 2 dogs were as sweet as they come.  
Beautiful garden like yard too.

"
156060,20819890,2014-10-06,19062448,Laura,"Great place to stay in a lovely part of Austin. The room was a good size, the bed comfy and the view out on to the trees beautiful. Everything was clean for our arrival.

Teresa gave us a warm welcome and took us up to the room. We saw her a couple of times during our stay and she was always very pleasant. 

The actual location is a very short walk on to South Congress where there are some fantastic places to eat, drink and shop. B-Cycle (similar to Boris Bikes in the UK) is also a pretty good way to get around.

The room has it's own entrance round the back of the main house.

Teresa also has some lovely dogs who were nice and friendly.

On a practical note, I would recommend bringing an eye mask if you sleep lightly (it gets quite light), a hairdryer if you use one and a mirror - there is one in the bathroom but it was a bit too high for me and I'm 5ft6"".

Definitely worth a stay!"
156060,21585995,2014-10-20,11879690,Lucia,"My boyfriend and I stayed here and were very happy with the place. It's a great location if you're planning to hang out in South Austin, just a few minutes walk from the restaurants/shops on South Congress and the food trucks on South 1st. The apartment was just as pictured and Teresa was very welcoming - we got in past midnight and she still greeted us and showed us where things were in the apartment. Everything was very clean, the wifi worked great, and we appreciated the beers she left for us in the fridge. I especially liked that the wifi worked out on the deck so I could get some work done outside."
156060,22299580,2014-11-03,12906145,Marika,"Teresa was a lovely host - she even gave us rides to our shuttle bus for the F1 race! She also greeted us personally when we got in (super late) and had the fridge stocked with beers and cream for coffee. The space was a great refuge at the end of a day of exploring (SUPER comfortable bed, beautiful deck space, and lovely shower), and the location was an easy walk to great food and shops. Highly recommended!"
156060,22678339,2014-11-11,5158809,Lindsey,"We had a wonderful time staying at the treehouse. The room is lined with windows, so you'll wake up with a room full of treetops - almost like you're outside all the time. And the bed is super comfy! 

The location is perfect. Just a few minutes' walk from SoCo restaurants and shops and an even shorter walk to the restaurants and food trucks on South 1st. 

Teresa was a wonderful hostess as well. She was very responsive the entire duration of our stay and check-in/check-out was a breeze!"
156060,22938391,2014-11-17,3013304,Savannah Jo,"Teresa's tree house is the perfect Austin retreat - close to everything but peaceful and cosy when you're ready to retreat from the outside world. The apartment is nestled around a beautiful old Live Oak tree, so you feel as though you're living in the tree... it is the most relaxing, serene place I have stayed. Teresa is the perfect host - welcoming, accommodating and just plain cool. "
156060,23114555,2014-11-23,23285665,Maisie,"The listing was very accurate, and the treehouse was lovely.  The neighborhood was nice and felt safe, and was extremely convenient to S. Congress, restaurants on 1st Street, and a number of other places we wanted to visit."
156060,23446073,2014-12-01,23040524,Megan,Teresa couldn't have made us feel more comfortable at her beautiful treehouse! We were greeted by 3 sweet dogs and we almost took one of them home with us ( little Ricky :)! The treehouse was beyond perfect. We enjoyed making coffee and sitting outside the French doors on the balcony. It was exactly what we needed - relaxation! The location was great too - we were walking distance to anything and everything we wanted! Just can't say enough about how spectacular our experience at the treehouse was! Thank you Teresa! 
156060,25756628,2015-01-25,595695,Arun,"Stay here. The place and location wonderful as is Teresa. 

I wish I could post a picture as you wake up feeling you're enveloped by trees. (In a good way, not the scary Poltergeist way.) And given we were visit in the cold of winter, the heater keeps you might cozy in what's a very comfortable bed. There's also a lovely deck that's perfect for just lounging on and having a beer or coffee (both that she keeps stocked in the room.

But in the end, what I loved most was the location, super easy access to South Congress and everything that has to offer. And in a nice discovery, even easier access to 1st Street which also has a number of charming spots--check out Le Patisserie. Also, the 10 line runs right up north into the downtown area and UT for just $1.25. And the 100 line from the airport brings you to within just one mile of the house.
"
156060,26016914,2015-02-01,14281459,Ashley,"The treehouse was the perfect place to stay in Austin! The location could not have been better for exploring the South Congress area and taste-testing all of the food trucks on South 1st. The treehouse was super cute as well, and if the weather would have cooperated for us I imagine we would have spent plenty of time enjoying the deck and outdoor area! Teresa was great - I'd stay here again in a second!"
156060,26595538,2015-02-16,25280299,Twiz,The treehouse was beautiful! It was private and had lots of sunlight! It was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. There are three dogs on the premises who were so sweet and greeted our arrival everyday. All in all a perfect experience. 
156060,27828442,2015-03-13,24746047,Sarah,"Having just read through the glowing 22 reviews of the treehouse, I can only add that if you're feeling burned out in any way, this is the place for you. Teresa is a lovely hostess who makes you feel welcome and at home. I think her treehouse may have been one of things I enjoyed about austin the most. I had a glass of wine with her and her charming fiancé, neighbor and dogs and felt like one of the family.
Book now! thank you Teresa!"
156060,28461537,2015-03-24,8185648,Kate,Perfect airbnb experience! Teresa's treehouse is as charming as advertised. She is a gracious and easy host. The location is perfect -- couldn't have asked for a weekend Austin weekend getaway. 
156060,49659935,2015-10-05,18293070,Lorna,"We stayed at the treehouse whilst in Austin for ACL, it was a cosy retreat after a busy festival day.  
The treehouse is in a great location, from there we could walk to and from the festival as well as explore the soco area.
Teresa was a wonderful host and kindly drove us to the festival on the first day.
We would definitely use this accommodation again."
156060,50494054,2015-10-12,5338350,Juliet,"Staying at the Treehouse was awesome! It was nice being close to shops off of south congress and there were many different options for food all within walking distance. We stayed for ACl and were able to walk to Zilker. The Treehouse was very cozy and clean, we would stay there again! We only met Teresa and Rino once but they were very nice and welcoming! It was an overall great trip! "
156060,51151832,2015-10-18,43296436,Zachary,My girlfriend and I loved staying at the SoCo Treehouse. The space was exactly as described and was the perfect location for our long weekend in Austin. Teresa was wonderful and her dogs were so sweet as well! 
156060,51938625,2015-10-25,8716951,Ashley,"Teresa is fantastic. Easy to communicate with, no production, just like Austin. The space is stunning, location perfect. We'd absolutely come back."
156060,52730879,2015-11-01,6334574,Bonnie,"The groovy SoCo Treehouse truly felt like a treehouse with an outside deck built around lovely oak tree branches.  Great SoCo location, within walking distance of several terrific restaurants, close to downtown and lots of entertainment.  Teresa and Rino were warm and welcoming and available to answer questions, if needed.  We loved the great Austin vibes created with interesting art and furniture in the treehouse.  We enjoyed it immensely!  "
8285425,48800055,2015-09-28,40687417,Robert,"I can't recommend this place enough. My new bride and I loved the Tiny House, and it is no more than 20 mins away from anything to see and do in Austin. Kip was a great hostess as well!"
8285425,50328826,2015-10-11,24015354,Shelby,Fantastic little guest house! Has everything you need plus more accents to make you feel at home. Would definitely come back :)
238712,10924559,2014-03-13,4756424,Tegan,"Beautiful home. Large bedrooms with comfortable beds. Great kitchen. A quick, easy drive into downtown Austin. There's a solid grocery store five minutes away. Glen, the owner, was extremely accommodating and quick to respond to any questions we had via text. "
5453733,28094199,2015-03-17,6543498,Trish,"Garren was very easy to deal with and accommodating. He was very communicative. The house was no frills, but it did the trick. 

The bed was very comfortable.

5453733,31279194,2015-05-03,24497786,Koushik,"Garren was very welcoming, always there for us and his place is pretty cozy & in a very good location. The neighborhood feels safe with loads of stuff to do in and around. Everything was provided as promised although if you're planning for a long term stay (more than a week or so) then I personally think the place is made for 4 guests and not for 6 because one of the 3 beds is an air bed (That's the only con I can think about).."
5453733,47887304,2015-09-21,9008742,Sandy,"Garren is very accomodating, he was able to host us in a short notice. The neighborhood is quiet and close to lots of good place to eat and hang out. The home is nothing fancy, looks just like the pictures, but is a good place to be if you want to be close to downtown.
Thanks Garren!"
5453733,49223584,2015-10-02,19448022,Miles,"Great neighborhood, excellent location for our stay. Plenty of room and Garren was very accommodating to our check-in/check-out times as well. "

1795965,10262519,2014-02-10,6962450,Nessa,I loved staying here! Wade's space was full of interesting paintings and felt so very Austin. There was a place to pull the car in if you don't want to do street parking and he was flexible with our check in and check out times. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting something spacious and full of art!
1795965,10451454,2014-02-19,1276855,Matt,"Wade's place was really amazing. Colorful, open, and perfectly located. We had a great time and will be back for sure!"

1795965,12570138,2014-05-05,7747303,Jason,"Wade's House was amazing! I highly recommend staying with him - the place is clean, incredibly interesting and in a great part of Austin.  It felt like a home away from home , with tons of great artwork and very interesting books abound! The property was super inviting and made for a wonderful place to just hang and relax after a long day of exploring Austin. Thanks Wade for making our trip to Austin great!"
1795965,12889426,2014-05-13,3902340,Aaron,"This house is amazing. Wade is a gracious host and the place is beautifully designed and clean, super artsy yet not a pretentious place at all. The fire pit was a great addition and the bicycles were very handy indeed for getting around this wonderful town. The neighborhood is in a great location. Close enough to good food, bars and coffee shops while not being in the center of all the hustle and bustle for nice quiet evenings on the porch. Highly recommend staying here!"
1795965,13421546,2014-05-27,12865285,Fernando,"Wade's house is amazing! Really beautiful place and very clean, with everything prepared for us upon our arrival. Wade was very easy to communicate with before and during our visit to Austin.

I would highly recommend to stay at his place!"

1795965,16066593,2014-07-21,14815712,Phillipa,"We had such a great stay at Wade's place. The house was very clean and comfortable, not to mention the amazing and eye opening artwork throughout. The beds were very comfortable, and extra mattresses and bedding were provided which meant 5 of us could stay easily and happily. 

Wade was easily contactable and helpful when needed. There are some fantastic bars and cafés near the house and we found it easy to get into town without using the car ( half an hour walk, or walk to the nearest bike share station and ride....great fun!)

I will recommend this place to any friends or family that head to Austin in the future!"
1795965,17401016,2014-08-11,4205569,Cory,"This place was amazing.  The artwork provided entertainment, the music output was very useful, and it was just very groovy in every way.  Wade was available by text if needed, but he thought of everything in advance so there was no need.  Overall great place, he should probably raise the price!"
1795965,20018203,2014-09-22,5005260,Jeff,"Wade's place was great! It was super clean and spacious and had everything we needed! 5 people stayed very comfortably, the 2 real beds are HUGE and there is plenty of floor/couch space! Like all the previous reviews have said, the art didn't disappoint and was a constant conversation topic/highlight of our stay! Wade had towels for us, fresh sheets,  and pretty much everything we needed! The house is in a great location and we all agreed we would definitely stay again if we ever came back to Austin!"
1795965,22193304,2014-11-01,6671715,Mike,"Wade's house was just as described and was a great place to stay. Close enough to downtown and campus that you could walk or ride the bikes he provided. The house was clearly new with comfortable furniture and a great modern bathroom.

I never wound up seeing him or needing to contact him for anything, but he made himself available and gave me a list of recommended places for the weekend. A great stay."
1795965,22374006,2014-11-04,7344645,Heather,Wade is awesome and so is his place! We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back very very soon.
1795965,22585192,2014-11-10,2516044,Lauren,"Wade's place was unique and amazing! The deck is ideal for nice weather days, and the windows fill the house with light and air. The house feels like a work of art in itself, accentuated by all the interesting art hanging in it. This place has a lot of character in a great neighborhood!"
1795965,23380842,2014-11-30,23078273,Amanda,"We had a great time at Wade's. The house has great dining space and lofty ceilings and bold art all over the place. We slept like bricks in the comfy beds. The coffee was sublime (thanks again!). We arrived in the evening on Thanksgiving and the neighborhood was filled with light and music and conversation. We walked to fun taco and bagel and coffee places, but the location was also super convenient to downtown Austin proper. "
1795965,27655751,2015-03-09,177089,Paul,"Had a great time in Austin thanks in large part to Wade and his super cool pad, which is convenient to one of the coolest spots in Austin. Beds comfortable, rooms full of light, all as advertised. Thanks for a great trip."
1795965,28079676,2015-03-17,354118,Nyla,Wade was such a wonderful host! He really made sure we had the best visit to Austin. The house is a piece of art on its own but is decorated full of eclectic art that will start many fascinating conversations. The neighbor hood is conveniently located close to downtown but also to all the best East Austin restaurants and bars. We rode the bikes that Wade provided. The rooms we comfortable and all of us felt like we were in a home away from home. We would love to stay again. 
1795965,28346068,2015-03-22,18206723,New,WADE IS THE MAN! The home was absolutely gorgeous with some awesome literature and art to accommodate that gorgeousness! It was a perfect distance from our Festival and even gavels 6 bikes to commute without car. He also kept in touch with me daily to make sure everything was in order. If you're in Austin.... HIT UP WADE!
1795965,30223011,2015-04-19,29807312,Amanda,"This was my first AirBnB experience. The house was beautiful. Though we never did meet Wade in person, he was very easy to reach via text and email. Wade went above and beyond to secure enough bikes for our group. We had 8 people at the house, and while that is a lot for 1 bathroom we were able to make it work. The art leaves plenty to talk about. "
1795965,30672693,2015-04-26,43601,Melanie,"Fantastic place... Great location, close to some very cool bars and restaurants. Beautiful, modern home and we loved having the bikes to use... Quick bike to downtown to hep burn off some of the zillion calories I ingested there. Wade provided lots of helpful ideas and was totally responsive to any questions we had. Loved it!"
1795965,31880388,2015-05-11,12189715,David,"Oasis is an apt word to describe this location. You will be within the grid of Austin proper, which will allow you to quickly figure out your way around town or the friendly neighborhood, the latter featuring excellent coffee and juice bars. 

When you're done running around, or need a rest after stuffing yourself with barbeque, the multiple tier front deck offers a great setting for unwinding a lazy afternoon with friends.  "
1795965,35686749,2015-06-21,4312166,Elizabeth,"The apartment is in a good neighborhood with bike lanes and is close to east 6th street with lots of cool bars and restaurants.  The apartment itself consists of 2 bedrooms one with a queen and one with a king bed.  The beds are very comfortable.  The couch in the living room is leather, average size, and as far as we could figure out does not become a bed.  The owner does provide a twin air mattress and some bed mats for sleeping on.  I think it is a bit generous to say this place sleeps 8.  A more accurate way to say is that it sleeps 4 and more if you utilize the sleeping mats, couch, and air mattress.  I would not suggest children stay at this place as there is some very unusual art depicting graphic nudity and demonic features.  The check in and check out went seamlessly with use of a key box and plenty of key copies.  There is a nice fire pit outside that we attempted to use but it was too wet on our weekend.  We did not get to use the bikes as there were no locks provided."
1795965,37191581,2015-07-05,25037826,Ben,"We had a great experience staying at Wade's home. The blue Oasis, resides in a quiet neighborhood with some awesome restaurants and shops close by. The artwork...is AMAZING. The house itself compliments the austin experience. 

Wade was easy to communicate with through text. He responded quickly to any questions and concerns, and had some excellent suggestions."
1795965,40710604,2015-08-02,13826362,Katie,This was such a cool place to stay. There is so much to do and see on the east side. Wade was great-a wonderful host. His place is cool... an awesome east side oddity in itself. Stay here just to see his art collection.
1795965,46049288,2015-09-07,41927907,Curtis,Great house with a cool Austin vibe & the location was very convenient to all of out downtown activities. 
1795965,48520488,2015-09-27,38126815,Crystal,"A group of girls and I stayed here for a bachelorette weekend. The house is really nice, very eclectic, and intriguing. The artwork was amazing and gave us all a lot to talk about throughout our stay. We slept 7 comfortably. The house was close to all of our planned activities and offered a surprising amount of privacy in a centrally located area. Wade was very accommodating, and everything was pretty self-explanatory so the need never arose to contact him. "
1795965,49429994,2015-10-04,2608581,Gabriella,"Wade was very welcoming and was readily available for any questions we had via text. He left us with many recommendations for nearby restaurants, as well as several bikes (added plus!) to ride around the city. It was really easy to get around the city from here, especially over to downtown or Zilker for ACL.

Overall, the place was awesome. It was clean, had awesome artwork all over, and slept all 8 of us very comfortably. Would definitely stay here again!"
1795965,50274602,2015-10-11,409021,Kestrel,"The place was great, close to everything we needed and full of fascinating artwork. We had a wonderful time, thank you Wade!"
1795965,52048771,2015-10-26,2640279,Artyom,We spent 3 nights at Wade's house. We really enjoyed the unique house and the art. The house has great outdoor spaces and a great vibe. Wade was easy to communicate with and the instructions / house rules were clear. Looking forward to coming back next year. 
3655702,20781364,2014-10-05,21649919,John,Great place and a great location. Claire was a wonderful host.  Would recommend to anyone. 
3655702,21935182,2014-10-26,22922274,Cabrina,Claire was an amazing host and the accommodations were perfect! We were driving through town and at last minute notice she welcomed us with a stocked frig and fresh flowers. The location was 5 miles from downtown Austin (about a $15 Uber ride) which was super convenient and much more affordable than the hotels in the area. We highly recommend the Fresh Casita and Claire as a great host who goes the extra mile to make your stay a fun one!
3655702,22538718,2014-11-09,22258847,Teresa,"Claire provided everything we needed, perfect instructions, coffee, and of course a lovely place."
3655702,23332455,2014-11-29,23190028,Lee,"Such a fun, comfortable little place tucked behind a house in a lovely, quiet neighborhood!  It had everything we needed and more (the apples and breakfast tacos were a nice touch, and much appreciated and enjoyed).

The location was ideal.  Close to downtown, and only minutes away from everything else on our holiday agenda.   We're so glad to know this place is in Austin, as we're sure to return.  Thanks so much!"
3655702,45992576,2015-09-07,5364934,Gina,Everything was fabulous. Claire was very nice and the place was very convenient to everything we wanted to do. Highly recommend Claire's casita!
3655702,47906821,2015-09-21,14464160,Holly,We loved Claire's place. Super cute and perfect for a weekend stay. We had coffee every morning with Cora and Puddin ( the dog & cat). The neighborhood is gorgeous and was so fun to walk through. I recommended this to anyone. Claire made check in so easy and she's super communicative. She stocked the fridge with drinks. Thanks Claire for a great stay!
3655702,48824822,2015-09-28,36870058,Stacey,"The casita was perfect for our trip... a great neighborhood, conveniently located, and a great host. We had everything that we needed.  The host had the room set up just as pictured and described. Claire was very responsive before and during our trip. We would definitely stay here again!"
3655702,49444628,2015-10-04,7131771,Devin,"We had a lovely stay at the casita! Claire left us some yummy snacks and drinks to enjoy during our stay, which was really nice. The casita was somewhat small, but it was very clean and adorably decorated, and with only 2 of us, we didn't mind the size at all. The casita had all of the essentials in case you forgot something, such as a hair dryer, lotion, and Advil. The host's dog was super sweet and came to visit us a few times :) Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend!"
3655702,50283268,2015-10-11,40069803,Craig,"Claire was an excellent host! She gave detailed instructions that left nothing unanswered and responded right away when I did happen to have an answer. 

The Casita was in a beautiful tree-lined neighborhood that gave you the feeling of home. The space was decorated just as the picture shows and then some! Not only did was there clean linens and towels, but there were also three kinds of mini muffins waiting for you upon your arrival and more! 

The location of the neighborhood in Northwest Austin became my favorite neighborhood. I have been to Austin more times than I can count and this neighborhood gave you the Austin vibe without all the commotion. The Casita was a minute away from the Mopac which gets you to the south side of Austin in five to ten minutes. In short, this location was on point!

To sum up, if you are looking for a place to stay for a few days in Austin, this is the place to do it!"
3655702,51194193,2015-10-18,45589893,Kate,The listing description was accurate. Neighborhood was wonderful. Claire was a great host.
3655702,51936002,2015-10-25,30912823,Nichole,Claire was a great host and the casita was perfect place for us to stay while in Austin!It's close to a ton of restaurants and shops and a close drive to downtown. The casita had everything we needed and was super comfy. I would highly recommnend this place to anyone visiting the area. 
4084237,20070197,2014-09-22,15756671,Aaron,"I had a brilliant stay. The room and amenities are fresh and comfortable. Mitch is an excellent host with great local knowledge and went out of his way to help me sort out some difficulties I had with my flight out of Austin. There are some great food and drink locations in walking distance and downtown is a quick bus ride or taxi away. Highly recommended. Thanks, Mitch."
4084237,20790992,2014-10-05,9741965,Dave,"Everything from Mitch's description was accurate and he helped with any questions that I might have regarding the area. 
I would have no problem staying here again if I travel through Austin."
4084237,49344091,2015-10-03,42847790,Sam,"Mitch was at work when I arrived on a weekday, but he was able to get the key to me and had a welcome beer waiting in the fridge. The listing description was accurate, there was a private bathroom attached to the bedroom which was very convenient. When I did get a chance to meet Mitch he was very friendly, and he was willing to answer questions even when he was away.

The neighborhood was nice and felt safe, and was a short walk or Lyft/Uber to South Congress or downtown. It was also close to the highway which was nice for getting to/from the airport."
4084237,49448912,2015-10-04,40155844,Aaron,"Mitch welcomed us with just a great positive attitude, oh, and mimosa's:) The place is exactly as depicted and even a little more.  The location is in a good spot, not far at all from coffee shops and other places to eat. I only stayed for a night, but I really wish I could of stayed longer. Overall, the place is very clean, in a nice location, Mitch stayed in contact, was flexible and just really down to earth.

Thanks for everything!"
4084237,52800390,2015-11-01,32555793,Heather,Great experience. Exactly as described and a fun part of town. Thanks very much Mitch! 
1699814,8098209,2013-10-15,8238277,Lara,"Kate and Peter were excellent hosts and we could not have asked for a better location for ACL. It took us 5 minutes to walk to the festival and we were able to take the bus (only $1!) downtown in about 20-25 minutes. 

Kate was particularly helpful in giving us advice about places to check out around the city, public transit and what to expect with the festival. She was very responsive to my questions and exemplified outstanding southern hospitality."
1699814,9314154,2013-12-20,5264480,James,Wonderful host.Great location. Enjoyed my conversation with Kate. Would recommend her home to anyone.
1699814,10415615,2014-02-17,12255333,Mark,"Kate was great, it was a last minute request but she had everything set up. It is a great place with lots of charm and very close to Zilker park and everything else. A great neighborhood! Highly recommend!  "
1699814,10882656,2014-03-11,12051238,Chad,"What a nice and convenient place to crash! Kate and her husband were accommodating and respectful hosts, and provided a bed-and-breakfast-like experience for me. If you're open to walking or biking to downtown, this room is a great option."
1699814,11754446,2014-04-14,2470443,Jordan,"Kate was an awesome host and a fantastic ambassador of Austin! She was very kind, communicative, and helpful. The room was clean, well kept, and everything was as described (plus awesomely good water pressure). She even brought down some gluten free beer for me. I would come back and stay in a heartbeat! "
1699814,14264356,2014-06-16,12255333,Mark,Great!
1699814,20864590,2014-10-06,21728578,Seashols,"Kate was very nice, space was very private, clean, and right next to Zilker Park. Could not have been an easier stay! "
1699814,21301324,2014-10-14,21524417,Lauren,"Kate was an amazing host and we couldn't have wanted more! From the kind bars (gluten free) to fresh-ground local light-roast coffee, to the cream and OJ in the mini fridge, she made every little detail count. Oh, and that water pressure? Amazed."
1699814,21960024,2014-10-27,6413158,Tom,Kate was a lovely host in a wonderful apartment within walking distance (or $10 taxi at night) of downtown. We very much enjoyed Austin and recommend Kate to everyone. It was a shame we were only staying for a short period of time!
1699814,30860474,2015-04-28,26868453,Aurélia,Everything was ok !
1699814,49809851,2015-10-06,43732263,Anisha,This location was perfect for ACL and Kate couldn't have been a better host! She stocked our fridge with snacks and gave us great advice on the local scene. Highly recommend!
1699814,50641138,2015-10-13,37233911,Kristin,"Kate & Peter were absolutely incredible hosts. The pictures of the space don't do it justice! It was more than we expected and was perfect for the purpose of our trip, which was to attend ACL. Walking distance (literally 5-10 minutes) to Zilker Park and a little longer treck into the city for some great sightseeing along the way. 

We felt so welcome and were so appreciative of the recommendations and local knowledge they gave us of the area. And there is an awesome cat named Beans who lives next door. Super friendly, super rad couple. We will definitely be back!"
1909811,9891347,2014-01-17,6328982,Khadija,"Heather was a wonderful, accommodating host. Staying with her was comfortable. The area was convenient to mass transportation and easy accessibility to highway. I would recommend staying with Heather and would love to return in the future. "
1909811,10118198,2014-02-01,7050158,Alexandra,Heather was very nice and friendly. She was helpful about answering our questions about the city and things to do. Her place is clean and nice. Right across the street is a bus transfer stop so there are lots of buses that you can take just about anywhere in the city. We had a great time!
1909811,10285801,2014-02-10,3772445,Sina,"Heather is so sweet, easy going and an amazing host. The house is in a great location, very clean, quite and comfortable. You can even take a bus to the airport $1, about 15min and it lets you out RIGHT outside the house."
1909811,10444746,2014-02-18,1021074,Irineu,"All was just amazing! Nice area, cozy home, good room and amazing host! Was super nice experience and would definitely recomend and stay myself again."
1909811,10553184,2014-02-24,789731,Liz,"Heather was super accommodating and helpful even when my plane was heavily delayed.  The airbed was way more comfy than I expected, perfect.  I got a great nights sleep.  the apartment is spacious and airy...kind of feels like youre at the beach!  The neighborhood is quiet, internet was fast, and I had a peaceful time.  thank you!"
1909811,10607461,2014-02-27,10432853,Lindsay,"Heather was a wonderful hostess! Her home was comfortable, clean, and close to downtown Austin. She was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for places to go. "
1909811,10739864,2014-03-05,1012384,Regan,"I spent a few nights at Heather's place and found it to be comfortable, quiet, and relatively close to most of the sights and sounds of Austin."
1909811,10920993,2014-03-13,11542280,Grace,"Heather is a sweetheart. This was my first airbnb experience, so I feel especially fortunate to have her as my host. She made me feel at home and very comfortable. I highly recommend staying with her or hosting her.

The condo is clean and tidy. I slept well in my private room on the air mattress. The kitchen is small and functional. I made a hot breakfast each day before I went out and pretty much stayed out until bedtime. 

Austin is awesome! This condo is a short ten-minute drive to downtown, or you can take the # 20 bus, which stops across the street. It is also 10 or 15 minutes to the airport. Very convenient.

Heather likes to keep the carpeted areas clean and asks you to remove your shoes, so bring slippers if you don't like to be barefoot. Bring layers because the Austin weather is unpredictable. And have fun!"
1909811,11018834,2014-03-17,327371,Saraswati J,"A lovely hostess and quiet, comfortable setting away from the craziness of Downtown Austin. Heather was great at communicating, making me feel welcome and was a joy to meet! I will stay here again. "
1909811,11081639,2014-03-19,12764851,Carol,"Heather is a fantastic host!!! I highly recommend staying with her. It's cheap and convenient to the bus stop ( right across the street)!  Also, very clean :)"
1909811,11336585,2014-03-30,13041875,Eboni,Great stay. Heather is a pleasant host with a clean and comfortable space. The air bed provided a good night's sleep. And it's also a very convenient location. 
1909811,13568990,2014-05-31,9685797,Christina,"I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Heather at her place. She's thoughtful, considerate, and a sweetheart! I came to Austin not knowing anyone, and she made me feel right at home -- inviting me out with her and her friends, and checking in to make sure I had everything I needed while there. 

Her home is lovely, clean, and in a safe neighborhood, with easy access to public transportation. I'm happy to have had her as my host!"
1909811,16899050,2014-08-04,7630114,M,"Heather was an amazing host: responsive, generous, and thoughtful. Her place was just as described, and she was very accommodating with last minute schedule flexibility. Great location and would visit again!"
1909811,30953864,2015-04-29,9727181,Luis,"Heather was a great host. The room was completely as advertised and very comfortable. I had my own bathroom, and Heather provided amenities like shampoo and towels which was really great. The neighborhood was great - she is right across from the community college, which meant that most buses stopped either right outside the complex she lives in or directly across the street. The buses in Austin are definitely not amazing, but having so many of them so close by made them really easy to use and very convenient. I would definitely recommend staying with Heather to anyone who is looking for someone with a lot of helpful tips about Austin who is considering staying somewhere with great access to the bus lines. Heather was really responsive to all my text messages and questions. And her place is really centrally located and right by a big, beautiful park.

Heather also has two adorable kitties that were a ton of fun to hang out with! Very rambunctious, but I happen to be a cat lover so I was very happy to be around them."
1909811,31266738,2015-05-03,2554175,Sarah,"Heather is an incredible host! By far, one of my favorites. She is personable, accommodating and makes sure that her guests are as comfortable as can be. The house itself is fantastic. The air mattress was really comfortable as well as the chair by the window (in the room). The house is very modern with a great kitchen and its own parking spot. Highly recommended!"
1909811,31723401,2015-05-09,30383049,Charlotte,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better. Heather was great and her home is lovely. Transportation is easy and I could get everywhere I wanted to go easily. Even the airport bus was practically door to door for only $1.25. Heather provided everything I could have needed in the way of towels, shampoo, conditioner, kitchen access etc. Also the kitties are super friendly and a treat to play with!

I would definitely recommend Heather to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the Austin area. "
1909811,32909332,2015-05-23,234528,Eric & Tarina,"What can I say? Heather is the sweetest host I've ever had the pleasure of meeting on airbnb.  As lone female traveler, it was so reassuring to come ""home"" every day to Heather's beautiful, safe and secure condo - it is perfect and the rate is an incredible deal. The location is ideal - a few minutes from SOCO and East Austin by car.  Bonus - most adorable kittens ever!"
1909811,39067036,2015-07-20,36981383,Natasha,"Heather was an excellent hostess! Very neat, organized, and helpful, she was willing to answer any questions I had about the community. The location was an easy bus ride or Uber to downtown. 

And her cats are pretty awesome :)"
1909811,46478849,2015-09-11,35252166,Brett,Heather was a great host! The condo was so clean and cute. Her 2 cats are hilarious and just the cutest duo you've ever seen. Her place is a great location to stay if you're wanting to explore the east side of Austin!
1909811,51273967,2015-10-19,39223841,Sonia,"I stayed at this location for about 1 month. Heather is a wonderful host! She was flexible with my arrival time and went out of her way to help me coordinate my way around austin. Her location is perfect. I rented a car and almost every location I wanted to go to was about 10-15 minutes away. It is a nice gated community that feels very safe and I enjoyed walks at the neighboring park. 

Heather is warm and welcoming and I enjoyed conversing with her. She has great recommendations about where to eat, and what to do in Austin. When I needed to stay a few extra days last minute, she able to extend my stay and even helped me return my car. 

The room is a great size with a big closet which has a few hangers. The bed had a very comfortable mattress. 

I've never been around cats before, but Dottie and Kit are so cute and fun to play with!

I would definitely recommend staying here!"
1909811,52222466,2015-10-27,8257743,Nancy,"Had such a wonderful time with Heather! Beautiful house, beautiful host, beautiful kitties! Couldn't have asked for a better host than Heather. She is very warm and inviting and was a wealth of knowledge when it came to figuring out what to do and where to eat. Highly recommend her and her house to everyone travelling to Austin. "
5570250,27864706,2015-03-13,1217905,Christi,"We really enjoyed our stay at this well-furnished duplex. There is a nice, new large TV, wifi, and a nice deck and side yard. It is in a great neighborhood with access to lots of restaurants and fun things to do! Jon was very responsive throughout our stay and made sure we had everything we needed!     "
5570250,28373047,2015-03-22,22070188,Chris,"I booked this AirBNB last minute literally in transit to SXSW. Jon responded quickly and was unbelievably easy to work with. Really a great location for any festival in Austin. A quick drive to the bars too (plenty of Ubers around too). The home was extremely well-kept, clean, cozy, and accommodating. Backyard patio was great for kicking back and relaxing with my fellow guests. All necessities were fully stocked and easy to find! 

I was part of a medical emergency during our last night in SXSW --- the way Jon treated my family/friends was incredible. He was beyond understanding, treating me (a complete stranger) as if I was one of his own family members. He even offered to bring food/supplies to us while in the hospital. Luckily for us, no one booked the house for the night after so Jon allowed us to stay an extra night ---  free of charge. 

This was easily the best AirBNB experience I've EVER had and would highly recommend Jon and his home to all. You WILL NOT be disappointed. I'll definitely be back."
5570250,29886782,2015-04-13,21703896,Jessi,"Not only does this place have a modern yet quaint TX vibe, it's loaded with daily needs like coffee, shampoo and super comfy beds. I personally had a rough go with my travel into Austin and Jon has been more than accommodating to make certain my stay was exactly what I needed.... fun and easy.  Props! "
5570250,31913475,2015-05-11,442495,Andy,"We stayed at Jon's place for a music festival and had a great time. The bungalow is in a nice quiet neighborhood, but within 10-20 minutes of some great food spots (recommend East Side Kings and Torchey's!). The back patio area was great for relaxing at the end of the night. Would certainly stay again."
5570250,49603091,2015-10-05,2065864,Tre,"Jon's place was the perfect spot for our trip to Austin. The house was well appointed, and had everything we needed. Jon was a great host, and made us feel very welcomed. Next time we are in Austin we will definitely check this place out again. "
8536490,51827318,2015-10-24,24332670,Zuhaib,"Great place close to downtown Austin, host did a great job stocking the place with food and has fast WiFi which is great if your on a business trip.  Awesome retro Espresso machine in the place."
8536490,52172392,2015-10-26,46944831,Mike,"Location, location, location.   What more can I say.  This wonderful place is steps away from the famed Austin 6th street.   

We were pleasantly surprised by the well appointed condo. You are not lacking any of the conveniences of your own home.  What a great experience.  We will definitely be back!"
937923,3807364,2013-03-17,5129905,Sebastian,A lovely house in a green and quiet neighbourhood. They took care of us and we really enjoyed our stay. 
937923,10921173,2014-03-13,11648607,Susan,We had a great time in Austin and the house was great.  We were able to cook a few breakfasts and found everything we needed.  Highly recommended.
937923,10979241,2014-03-16,11654403,Angel,"A fabulous vibe in a great location, very comfortable, thanks so much!!!"
937923,13617648,2014-06-01,9527338,Matthew,"Sevylla was an excellent, accommodating, communicative host. Though taxi drivers were leary of the neighborhood, I had no problems, even at 2 am! The neighbors were friendly, the neighborhood was quiet. Access to the city via public transportation was excellent and the city is close enough to warrant getting a bike so that you arent always stuck using the bus. The house is walking distance (1-2 miles) from grocery (with fax services), library (with computers), movie theaters, chain restaurants, dentist, all of which I used. I would definately call on her again if needed. Thanks Sevylla."
937923,28217042,2015-03-20,11654403,Angel,"It was a very zen-like, eclectic, peaceful experience. This is our second time there and it was great to be back; very clean, a quick easy drive to downtown or the eastside, just a real nice vibe. "
937923,31876736,2015-05-11,26321906,Derrick,"Sevylla's house was inviting and comfortable. Easy access to everything the city has to offer. She greeted us and gave us the tour and checked in on day 2 to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay.  If youre not familiar with south Austin you should know that many residents keep chickens/roosters, so if your not in tune with natural rhythm of waking up with the sun(or your children), you'll want to sleep with ear plugs if its a long night, all that being said we were at psychfest every night until 2am and we had no issues."
937923,49612531,2015-10-05,40280853,Albert,"Our stay was great!  Sevylla made us feel very welcome and made herself available if we needed anything.  She provided us with everything we needed for our stay, she and her house were wonderful, and we all slept comfortably.  If we have another trip to Austin in the future we will definitely contact Syvella and check for availability.  "
8064028,45211941,2015-08-31,16788624,Melina,Kristi's home was immediately inviting. It was perfect for my sister and I. The location is right of the freeway in the middle of down town. There were short bread cookies and an assortment of spirits to help us settle in. I would stay there again for sure. 
8064028,46047347,2015-09-07,42603488,Jenae,"The house matched the description perfectly. It was a wonderful place to stay, clean and easy to get around. I initially had a hard time finding it, but Kristi was super helpful and took the time to call me (pretty late at night) to make sure I didn't stay lost. Absolutely lovely! I would stay there again! "
8064028,47205561,2015-09-16,3923123,James,"Listed description was accurate, and the proximity to the downtown area proved really convenient. Kristi is a great host. Plus, her cat is both incredibly people-friendly and independent, so don't let that deter you."
8064028,47773558,2015-09-21,5670159,Samantha,"Gorgeous apartment in a perfect location - only a ten minute drive from Sixth Street/downtown and walking distance from the UT campus. Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and Kristi was available by text for all of our questions. We were a group of three and had plenty of room with the bed and pull-out couch. Facilities were clean and working fine, and the parking space came in handy several times. The cats were friendly and mostly kept to themselves. Would definitely recommend staying here again!"
8064028,48832286,2015-09-28,254725,Amelia,"We rented Kristi's basement apartment for two nights. The experience was a mixed bag. The location was great for us, in a great part of town near things we liked. The apartment itself was tidy, with cute decor just like in the photos, and it did meet our basic needs. However, it is pretty run-down/rustic, so if you are looking for mint digs as a renter, be aware of this.  The kitchen and bathroom counters had been wiped clean, but the rooms in general were dusty, and the kitchen surfaces were greasy.  I de-greased the outside of the coffee maker before I felt like I wanted to use it.  I had to make a little space in the fridge for our own food, and something smelled like it had turned.  We had agreed to feed the host's cats, and that was no big deal. However, if you also agree to do this, one good thing to be prepared for is that, in order for the cats to be able to get into the apartment for their food, you will have to leave the door to the apartment ajar to the washer/dryer room which is accessible to all the other tenants in the house.  We also got woken up by one of the cats meowing outside the window in the bedroom both mornings around 7.30 am.  She persisted until we opened the apartment front door (even though the cats had access through the washer/dryer room).  She needed to be let in, fed right away, and then let back out.  In hindsight, while it would have meant giving up access to a kitchen, which we did use, we could just as well have stayed at the nearby Super 8 for $25 less a night, been in the same great location, had better sleep, and felt cleaner."
8064028,49160701,2015-10-01,15122936,Alison,Kristi's apartment was a really nice place to stay. When we first arrived there was a problem with the lock but Kristi rushed back to fix it for us straight away. She also let us leave our bags after checkout which was really helpful. Thanks for a great stay in Austin! 
8064028,49302606,2015-10-02,2481187,Justin,"Kristi was great. She accommodated us on about an hour's notice, and she gave us an awesome dinner recommendation. The apartment is very cool and conveniently located. I highly recommend Kristi and her apartment."
8064028,49830891,2015-10-06,44755115,Stacey,"Looks just like the pictures! I realized I realized as I was in transit that I didn't have to exact address, but Kristi was super responsive and got back to me right away! I was only here for one night, but the place was nice and quiet and only a $8 lyft to all the great spots in Austin! "
8064028,49999355,2015-10-08,16688111,Pamela,"The apartment was a bit dirty. It's a basement apartment near the highway, so there is road noise day and night. The cats come in and out of the house and jump on the bed, meow, and scratch and you will need to feed them twice a day."
8064028,50861611,2015-10-15,44489972,Brett,Had a great stay in Austin for 2 days and the location was very convenient with only a short walk/drive to Sixth Street or the UT campus. Kristi was also very helpful and was easily contactable for any  questions and would so would not hesitate to use again if in Austin.
8064028,50952108,2015-10-16,413791,James,Very cozy and clean! Looked exactly like the photos. Convenient location. 
1704436,8672551,2013-11-11,1270021,Martha,Brunson's home was perfect for a weekend stay for two couples. The home was very clean and had enough clean towels for everyone. The master bedroom had a top notch mattress. We were able to bike to Auditorium Shores for the music festival very easily. The flexible check in/out time was a life saver. Would definitely stay again. Best Airbnb stay yet. 
1704436,8945879,2013-11-27,382780,Sahra,This is the perfect house for an Austin visit! We felt tucked away in a cozy house with a yard and plenty of space to hang out with friends. And in about a 5 minute walk we were in the center of everything great on South Congress! It was unexpectedly cold for Austin and Krista was so sweet to drop off an extra blanket! It has everything you need including off street parking (renting a car in town was easy and cheap and there is an Enterprise walking distance away). We loved our stay! Thanks Brunson and Krista!
1704436,10467880,2014-02-20,9879764,Stanley,"This house is in a quiet, family neighborhood really close to the Congress St area of Austin, which has a lot of cool, eclectic restaurants and stores.  The house was clean and well appointed with two bedrooms in the house to choose from, as well a nice bathroom and kitchen to use.  Definitely a great place for my family and my dog, I enjoyed my stay and would return!   "
1704436,10562249,2014-02-24,10487036,Brian,"My husband and I had very last minute need for a place in Austin and after looking exhaustively online, we found Brunson's home. After booking online, we were very quickly contacted by him and and put in touch with the caretaker. She also called quickly and said that although the place wasn't ready, if we didn't mind a little mess, we could have it. We accepted and hoped for the best. Well, to our surprise, it was cleaner than a lot of places we've stayed in and very well appointed. The privacy fenced backyard is safe for dogs or kids if you have that need. The wifi was fast, he had upgraded tv service and it was in a really great area close to Stacy Park and South Congress. Great place, great guy!  Don't hesitate to book it."
1704436,11560457,2014-04-07,13481837,Blake,"This truly was a gem!  Perfect loation, perfect house. Couldn't have asked for anything more. "
1704436,11950794,2014-04-20,8159593,Gilia,"Our stay in Travis Heights was so peaceful and pleasant. This house is so well situated. If you want access to the ""scene"" on S. Congress, you're only 3 blocks away. If you want to take your kids to a great shaded park, this little bungalow is a mere block from one of Austin's most charming parks. We woke up to the sound of mourning doves cooing in the trees and fell asleep to silence--which is fantastic considering the proximity to S. Congress. Neighbors were friendly, lots of people out for strolls and runs. I felt safe walking around well after dark, though I took my headlamp to illuminate my daughter and me because not all streets are illuminated. 

The house is very cute, clean and comfortable with updated kitchen and bathroom. A fan kept the air circulating on the one hot day we experienced. No air conditioning that I could see, though we didn't need it. The house stays cool. 

We were two adults and two kids, and the house probably couldn't sleep much more than 5 if you put someone on the couch in the living room. No dining room, only barstools around a counter. 

Communicated with our hosts by text--they were super quick to respond and accommodating to our requests to checkin early and check out late. "
1704436,12353049,2014-04-29,132750,Hadley,Fantastic location. Very cute house with everything you need. Huge backyard!
1704436,12672110,2014-05-07,10900091,Joanna,"Great single level home... just perfect as a home base for us three (one couple + another guest) to spend a few days exploring SoCo and downtown Austin.  The landscaping is beautiful (some cacti and lots of interesting local plants in well kept beds, both front and back).  Home had great charm and updated kitchen and bath.  Wi-fi was a plus.  Larger bedroom had memory foam mattress that was very comfortable.  A/C worked great.  Nice towels and linens on bed.  The walk through the neighborhood to get to South Congress St.  was about 8 minutes and spit us out right at the Continental Club and across from Jo's Coffee.  You will enjoy the art work in the home... one piece in particular was a great conversation piece over drinks.  House manager was very courteous and texted us before coming over to take out the trash so she wouldn't alarm us... very thoughtful.  Fantastic experience... would absolutely stay again! Thank you Brunson, and thank you Krista.  "
1704436,13112013,2014-05-19,13860723,Paul,The listing was as promised!  A true gem!  So close to everything in a beautiful neighborhood.  
1704436,13573087,2014-05-31,64879,Hilary,"Location is beyond ideal. Easily walkable to the action on South Congress, but still a quiet neighborhood. Beautifully renovated house with plenty of space. Will definitely stay again!"
1704436,15265502,2014-07-06,489626,Natasha,"Great weekend getaway in Austin. Brunson was timely and organized with communication, and you can't beat the location of the house, just a few blocks off South Congress. Lots of eateries & cafes within walking distance. The house itself was spacious, clean and stayed cool while we were out (very appreciated after a long summer day out). We would definitely stay there again."
1704436,16643048,2014-07-30,17635848,Peggy,"This was a sweet home away from home. It is in a great location. Walkable and near fabulous restaurants, shopping and Lady bird lake. Big yard for the dog. Modern and well appointed. Everything the host promised and more. "
1704436,22335586,2014-11-03,22924561,Tomi,"This was a terrific stay - booked for three weeks and then added a third week!  The house was in an absolutely perfect location, beautifully updated kitchen and bath, and overall a lovely, quaint space to enjoy such a wonderful city!"
1704436,22647631,2014-11-11,21094967,Chris,"Brunson's place was perfect for us. Great little place really close to the action on Soco and in a beautiful neighbourhood too. Great amenities and very reasonably priced. We will definitely make this our first port of call next time we're back in Austin. Thanks, Brunson!"
1704436,28173116,2015-03-19,22285448,Mimi,The home was just as described and absolutely perfect location for SXSW.  Brunson Green was wonderful at responding to all our questions and look forward to returning next year for SXSW.
1704436,28990883,2015-04-02,24110523,Jill,"My girlfriends and I had a great stay at Brunson's adorable home in Travis Heights. The location was perfect -- the neighborhood was very quiet within walking distance to the restaurants, bars and shop salong South Congress and just a short drive to other great sites around Austin. We also enjoyed having our morning coffee and afternoon drinks at the table out back! Would definitely recommend Brunson's place to others. "
1704436,29825713,2015-04-13,2581052,Ann,"We loved staying at Travis Heights Gem. .2 miles from all that SOCO has to offer and yet absolutely quiet at night. The neighborhood has wonderful homes to look at as you walk to coffee, music, restaurants, street fairs, etc.  Host provides comfortable bedding, thick towels, and a great spot to hang out and visit with friends. The house is air conditioned and had an air purifier, too. We will definitely be back when we visit Austin, again. "
1704436,30393403,2015-04-21,28969426,Kirstie,"This house meets expectations and matches its description. All our main criteria were met: easy access; very comfortable beds; well equipped bathroom with plenty of good towels; a large, secure back yard for our dogs. The location is ideal for exploring Austin, close to the centre, yet quiet and residential. The leafy neighbourhood is pretty  (though as a garden loving Brit, I was itching to get out my secateurs, cut back and tidy up a bit), with an attractive, eclectic mix of houses. A short walk from the house is a park running alongside a stream which is ideal for walking dogs or running. We would definitely stay here again."
1704436,30766265,2015-04-27,27649113,Reid,"Great area close to everything. House was comfortable. I was wondering if anyone in Austin owned a lawn mower and found out it was wildflower season and no one was able to cut their flowering areas. 
Recommend this house."
1704436,32509606,2015-05-19,14550087,Theresa,"My two friends and I had a perfect stay at Brunson's home! It was even better/larger than the photos showed. The bathroom and the kitchen have been very nicely renovated/upgraded.
The neighborhood was lovely - a quick 7min walk by some unique homes, to everything SoCo has to offer.
The beds were both very comfy, linens top notch, and the couch was also very comfortable to sleep on if needed.
The kitchen had absolutely everything you could need, and there is a little market that's walkable to pick up some staples - we definitely saved money eating all of our breakfasts at the house, out back at the table in the backyard. And enjoyed some cocktails around the kitchen island on some evenings.
The onsite house manager Krista was very welcoming, and available anytime via text if needed.
You will enjoy your stay :)"
8112770,48814149,2015-09-28,2120561,Mary Etta,"This is a Pool House to Live IN, as it is bigger than many apartments and beautifully furnished and decorated.  It is located just 10 steps from the edge of a shimmering pool in a great Hyde Park neighborhood.  The area is great for walking, and we saw many homes that are undergoing transformations, unique architecture, stone and iron work.  
Everything was clean and fresh, clean towels for the pool, and fresh cream for the morning coffee.  We worked and played in the pool while visiting our son for the weekend.  My husband is post knee surgery and I knew we didn't want to climb a flight of stairs, but I never realized how accessible this pool house would be, easy to enter, nothing to trip over, and the pool was great therapy.  The arm chair and ottoman became my husbands favorite place to work as it was easy to raise himself up when it was time to jump into the pool for a break!

Roberto and his family are great hosts: just the right balance of meeting, communication and privacy.  He was always quick to respond, and I hope others enjoy this great pool house apartment.  This place is a great getaway and I know we'll be back."
8112770,51202539,2015-10-18,45239782,Cosmo,"I've spent a lot of time in Austin over the last five years. Roberto's Hyde Park Pool House was a new and pleasant way for me to spend an extended period of time. Roberto was very welcoming, providing all the details I needed to find and enter the property. It's situated in a pleasant, quiet, North Austin neighborhood with great proximity to a few of the areas I like the best: Burnet and North Lamar as well as a quick shot south on i35 to the east side and downtown core. I thought the apartment itself was intelligently designed. What you see is what you get. Everything is new, fresh, clean. The bed is large and comfortable. The Kitchen is highly functional. The bathroom is bright, roomy and sparkling. The television is huge. The internet is acceptably fast. The washer and dryer is massively convenient. Roberto welcomed me by leaving some fresh fruit in a bowl and an assortment of drinks in the refrigerator. He also provided some staple goods that were very helpful. Things like butter, laundry detergent, cooking utensils, towels, hotel-size shampoo and conditioner. Those little things were thoughtful and helped bridge the gap until I made it to a local grocery store. What makes this property so unique is the pool. It's new, private, and gorgeous. I laid out on the lounge chairs and swam in the pool a few times during my visit. The backyard has a southern orientation, so there is a lot of Austin sunshine. The pool is really spectacular with a built in hot tub. Lastly, it sounds like a small thing, but parking worked out well too. I parked on the street in front of Roberto's house. There was always lots of space available. Thanks for the stay Roberto. You know I'll be back. Best to you and your family."

8498680,51870332,2015-10-24,3028542,Christina,"Sean was a very accommodating host, we had to extend our stay and that was very easy. The location was great, and the place was nice, the bathroom had some issues."
8498680,52794781,2015-11-01,32383009,Nick,Sean's home was very cozy and clean. Two very important qualities for us. I really liked the artwork he had around his apartment. It was a quick Uber ride to downtown as well. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin.
6691183,49591689,2015-10-05,33605674,Easton,"We stayed here for the first weekend of ACL, 2015 and were very impressed. Scott and his wife made us feel very welcome before we ever arrived. Once we did check in there were some snacks they had left for us to get the chance to taste some local Austin flavors. The owners actually live here when guest aren't staying in the house, so the home has a very personalized feel to it. Some may think it feels lived in, but it was very clean and we felt that aspect was part of the charm. It was very comfortable and homey. The house has a very open feel to it and there are two porches that we're great for morning coffee and just sitting to chat and visit. Overall, this was an excellent experience and I would certainly recommend this home and homeowners to others looking for a place to stay in Austin."
6691183,50525033,2015-10-12,26769759,Reed,Wonderful space with a great family vibe and a really excellent deck.  The kitchen is a particularly nice feature!

Spacious eat in kitchen and a large separate living room
Honest host who has a great local knowledge and will point you in the right (walking) distance for restaurants,fine coffee and groceries
All in all a wonderful stay in a tree lined , street I'm a top residential area of Austin"
140504,2696104,2012-10-23,3389011,Aaron,"I rented this place for my parents during my wedding weekend. It worked out perfectly. Pete was helpful and the house was nice, clean and large. We are happy they got to stay here. My parents hope to rent it out during future trips!"
140504,4377137,2013-05-01,5381992,Margaret,"Pete's place is stunning! Modern, tidy and clean with all the comforts of a home.

140504,6570622,2013-08-17,1217343,Elizabeth,"Pete's apartment was completely comfortable and easy.  Very cute, as pictured, with a nice bed, spacious, etc.  Excellent central AC, which is VERY important in August in Austin!  Quacks Bakery is an easy walk, as is a playground and pool (we were traveling with our toddler).  I would definitely stay again!"
140504,13390456,2014-05-26,4037529,Keith & Ellen,"Had a great stay at Pete's place.  The neighborhood is vey pretty with lots of nice houses and we walked to Quack's coffee every day.  Was very close to UT and the LBJ library, and 10-15 min drive to downtown and SoCo.  The apartment itself was very clean and nicely furnished - plenty of kitchen utensils, etc for cooking.  Though, of course, we ate out most of the time at all the great Austin restaurants.  Pete was super easy to communicate with, and very helpful - he even went back after we left to look for a ring we though we had lost.  Definitely recommend.  "
140504,19713889,2014-09-16,9969259,Richard,"Pete is an attentive, accessible Airbnb host. This place is in a fabulous neighborhood with great places to eat and shop nearby.

140504,52206990,2015-10-27,6296392,John,"Pete's place is very clean and modern and in a perfect location.  Hyde Park is considered perhaps the safest neighborhood in Austin and is a very quiet and calm place to be.  The apartment is as advertised with all the furnishings is nice shape.  Kitchen is modern and well stocked.  There is plenty of free parking on the street as well.

Pete is a very attentive host and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns you might have."

Dean was away when I arrived but he had multiple options of getting the keys to me. He left a detailed note with everything I needed including the laundry room. He let me use his bike to go around the downtown which was the highlight for me

The home was as described. Its an older complex, but he maintained it well. It is quiet and was close to where I needed to go (Hyatt Regency) for my conference. He furnished it with everything I needed. The laundry room was nice as well. 

The location is excellent right next to S congress road, where a lot if happening, its close to the bat bridge and downtown (you can walk actually) and the boardwalk next the lake. Its next to the long center as well, so you can say its in the middle of everything."
4394323,49668699,2015-10-05,1642001,Louis,"Great place, nice complex in a good area. The unit was clean and tidy, good communication with the host, really great stay."
893624,3549751,2013-02-15,2972316,Rich,"Paprika is a terrific host and an interesting personality. Great house in SOCO, clean and comfortable. The bed is awesome and hard to get out of in the morning. Nice dog. Definitely would stay with Paprika again."
893624,3730276,2013-03-09,2467375,Tim,"I have been visiting Austin for six years and you would find it hard to find a room in a better position than this. Right next to SoCo where there is so much going on but really quiet and relaxing. Good to have a host with lots of local knowledge of what to see and where to go. Very friendly, very clean. I would stay again."
893624,3781889,2013-03-14,3598810,Lien,"Paprika's home was super convenient and welcoming during our visit to Austin for SXSW. Both she and we were very busy attending events so we only saw each other a few times during the stay. Nonetheless she was very friendly and we had an easy time communicating leading up to and during our stay. I'd recommend her home and the nearby SoCo area, which has some really fabulous food (Guero's and South Congress Cafe and Amy's ice cream)."
893624,3932552,2013-03-28,5476344,Skye,"Our stay with Paprika was easy going. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable. Paprika was helpful with ideas for things to do and places to go. The location near south congress was perfect, and her dog molly is very sweet."

Short bike ride away from downtown but without the increasingly gridlock. Lovely central but quiet spot!"
893624,4394883,2013-05-02,475718,Milena,"Paprika and her dog Molly were wonderful hosts! My friend and I had a great time in Austin using her place as a home base and from there exploring Austin. The location is just a few blocks away from South Congress Ave, great food options around and good neighborhood feel. We had a lovely time!"
893624,5165923,2013-06-16,1854613,Madigan,"Paprika was a very friendly, welcoming host, and I had a great stay in her charming, quirky, and comfortable bungalow.
The room was exactly as advertised, with ample storage space and a comfortable bed. The private bathroom had a nice shower with good water pressure and clean towels. It was a definite bonus to have access to the living room, kitchen, and beautiful front garden.
The neighborhood is very calm and safe and just a short step away from the animation of South Congress and a short bus ride to downtown and beyond.
For those who want to stay in the South Congress area, Paprika's place is a great, affordable option."
893624,5350506,2013-06-25,6674995,Marget,"This cottage in Austin is in a quiet neighborhood, with easy parking right in front of house. The short walk (3 blocks) to reach the  SOCO area was why I chose to stay here. I had a very comfortable room, my own bath, a sweet house dog who said hi each morning- 
I like simple traveling and this was perfect for my weekend in Austin.
Thanks Paprika!"
893624,10097317,2014-01-30,11600305,Kathleen,"I booked a room through airBnB for the first time in order to be in a location near my son whom I was visiting.  It was a little confusing but Paprika was kind enough to help me through it.  The room I had in her house was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was nice as well.  We didn't cross paths often but when we did she was quite friendly and pleasant.  The house is in a convenient location in a quiet neighborhood full of large old trees with wonderful bird songs in the morning."
893624,10719838,2014-03-04,2984352,McCarton,"Paprika's house is adorable and comes equipped with a friendly, sweet dog. The location literally couldn't be better, right off South Congress and everything you could want on that strip within a 15 minute walk. Magnolia Cafe is a must! Paprika herself was friendly and communicative before and during the stay. Would highly recommend this place!"
893624,11019955,2014-03-17,2410220,Brenda,"Excellent place to stay in Austin. Walking distance to so many restaurants, food trucks, and entertainment. Great place and great hostess! Thank you Paprika."

893624,16523248,2014-07-28,8050596,Lionel,"I had a great stay there with a few friends. The house is well located (in SoCo, 5 min walk from Home Slice, Vespaio, etc.) and it can accommodate 4 to 6 people without any problems. The yard is large enough to get a drink and enjoy the heat!

893624,22166647,2014-10-31,19428473,Toni,"Connie was very welcoming. The place is clean & exactly what was described.  We enjoyed our stay here. Austin is a wonderful place to visit and Connies home is in a great location, close to resturant, bars and in a very safe area.   The only issue we had was the Internet dropping out regularly, Connie was quick to fix the problem however it still continued to drop out.   The home had a large washing machine & dryer, great for people travelling for a long time.   Thanks for having us Connie. "
893624,25287196,2015-01-11,5246207,Kate,The description of the house absolutely was accurate. It's a great location as it is very close to the South Congress strip of shops and restaurants! I'd definitely recommend staying here. Paprika was very accommodating and helpful!
893624,28201911,2015-03-20,1799714,Hugues,"Paprika was a perfect host: welcoming yet discreet. The place itself is just perfect as for privacy since you have your own bathroom and you can take advantage of half the house. The room itself is pretty great with a really comfy bed. 

The location is just right. It's in a nice and quiet neighborhood but still a short walk away from where the action is on SoCo. Lots of great places around to eat, drink and have a good time. If you want to go downtown, it's also a nice walk and buses and shared bikes are pretty convenient in that area.  

I also enjoyed the front yard where I could rest or work a little bit on my computer with a very reliable wifi signal which is nice. Her dog Molly is the kindest you can meet. I strongly recommend this place."
893624,51941496,2015-10-25,30963179,Mvf,"Paprika's place was fantastic, really quirky and cool but especially comfortable too. A greet location too, close to the office but right where you want to be for decent evenings out whilst still having a good nights sleep."
606595,18901382,2014-09-02,19499470,Daniel,"What can I say? Our trip was a major success because of this house. We were able slip downtown in 10 min and the house was beautiful! In Austin this is the place to go if you want to have easy access to everything but still be able get away and enjoy the surrounding area. Great neighborhood, great facilities, great host!"
606595,28473491,2015-03-24,19187081,Adam,We had a great experience staying at the house during sxsw.  It slept 6 people very comfortably.   Thanks!!
606595,46202331,2015-09-08,42311323,Kassidy,"The house accommodated the five of us very well. The kitchen had any necessary utensils, and the location was close to many things to do. The only thing that could have been better was the cleanliness of the house."
606595,46964092,2015-09-14,385570,Ingebrigt H.,Vincent was very accomodating and helpful. The property was clean and spacious. We were very happy with our stay in Austin and would come back any time. Thank you Vincent!

6400151,33042086,2015-05-24,7429875,Genevieve,"Ryan was welcoming and checked in with us when we arrived, making sure that we found everything alright. His garage apartment is a small, charming place, just perfect for our short stay over the weekend. We especially appreciated the bathroom essentials (towels and toiletries) that were available, and I must say that the overhead shower was great. I lived in Austin for a few years so I was familiar with the area - nice and quiet. The place had easy access to the bus stops and was about 25 minutes by metro from the Drag and UT. I would recommend this charming garage apartment."
6400151,37228560,2015-07-05,8893200,Jenna,"Lovely apartment in a great Austin neighborhood. Very clean and well put together with all the amenities one needs. I liked the spacious shower with railhead and the bed was comfy. The side access to the house was great - never felt like we were intruding. Coffee, tacos and ramen within walking distance - nice neighborhood for morning walks and quick driving distance to downtown. Would happily recommend this place. Ryan was very accommodating and responsive. Great place!"
6400151,39310441,2015-07-22,12507867,Molly,My stay at The Garden Apartment in Brentwood was just what I was looking for while visiting my son and his family in the same neighborhood.  Accommodations were very comfortable for my short stay.  Ryan left easy instructions for me to get in and he was easy and friendly to work with.  I was so busy with my family that I did not get a chance to visit with Ryan and his wife Jenny but even with my short visit I know I like them!  I am sure I will see them again.
6400151,44077659,2015-08-23,13921133,Laura,Awesome quiet private cozy stay!

Love the backyard and had I stayed longer, I would have definitely made use of it.  I was glad he had a wifi connection as although it wasn't in the original plans, I was to work from the super comfy bed.  Thanks Ryan!"
6400151,50412898,2015-10-11,24639027,Evan,"Ryan was wonderful, he left work early to check me in with no complaints. His rental is adorable, comfy, and very well air conditioned. I'd be happy to stay there again."

Nate and Emily's place was clean and stocked with everything that we would need, they even left a bottle of wine for us (in addition to maps, info about the area, sunscreen for the festival, etc.)! Overall great hosts who made sure we were all set up. Thank you!"
2269024,49627503,2015-10-05,22771018,Jacklyn,Emily was very welcoming and helpful during our whole trip. She left everything we needed and welcomed us to share whatever she had in the fridge.

5768194,42073064,2015-08-10,39187316,Tysha,Phil the host was the best host I could have asked for.  He called and we spoke about the arrangement.  He know the perils of traveling with a large family and offered his entire home.  This was my first AirBNB experience and it was fantastic.
5768194,45752571,2015-09-05,5383388,Ka,"Comfortable home, room was a bit messy, but overall a decent place. I would recommend to travelers coming to Austin. The setting in the hills is also quite amazing."
5768194,50453614,2015-10-12,38755440,Julia,"Phil is flexible, open, and laid back. He was able to arrange rooms and furnitures to accomodate our large party comfortably by asking and listening to our needs well ahead of time. Phil stays home, but due to room arrangements we almost never saw him. Except if we needed something, he was easily accessible.

The house is large, with beautiful large deck and plenty of furniture to lounge outside. Large outdoor jacuzzi. House has older floor plan with smaller rooms, large windows, and lived in smells and sounds. The two rooms we stayed in were filled with toys and books of Phil's now grown children.. Overall it felt like staying at my uncle's house, nothing fancy but comfortable and cozy.

It is located in the beautiful neighborhood , close to the downtown, the ammendities, and the highway."

We will go back!

It’s a beautiful, comfortable place to stay.  We were there 4 nights and had everything we needed.  We asked Sara for recommendations about places to eat, and she was more than happy to help.  The places she suggested were excellent.  The bikes were super, loved having them.  The dog was a sweetie!"

It was a very nice break after being on the road for a couple of weeks to be able to stay in one place with a good bed (sorry, Dad..but you need a new guestbed) and not have housekeeping knocking on your door in the morning.  It was a nice place to get some work done and Sara was very nice.   Also, the location was great.  You could get downtown in just a few minutes.   I would come back and stay here again."

Sara had just gotten back into the country and had the cottage in tip-top shape for us.  It was quiet, comfortable and very clean.  Sara and her husband have thought of everything -- from the real milk and OJ in the fridge, to the fluffy towels and  great shower.  This was also our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn't have been a better all-around experience.

My girlfriend and I had everything we needed in the place. The windows are on different walls and the cross ventilation you get feels amazing in the early evening.

We would definitely stay here again. Sarah provided us with everything we needed and when we ran into her asked if we needed anything else. She genuinely just wanted to make sure we were taken care of.

70659,1230522,2012-05-05,2106109,Tressie,I had a very nice stay! The cottage is very clean and cute.
70659,1295502,2012-05-17,1635838,Dorothy,"This lovely cottage worked out perfectly for my daughter and me.  We spent 3 nights there, and couldn't have been happier.  Sara was nice enough to leave coffee, tea, and milk for us, so we were able to get our morning ""fix"" without leaving the cottage.  We also found some travel-size shampoo in the shower, which we really appreciated. 

The cottage is a perfect size, we didn't feel cramped at all, and has a recently-done beautiful bathroom.  It has a desk where one can work (which I did) as well as a good internet connection, microwave, and coffee maker.

We rented a car while in Austin, but within walking distance of the cottage there is a major supermarket, and a funky ""Austin-like"" cafe called Cherrywood Coffeehouse where we had fun checking out the local scene... there is another place not too far (maybe 20 minutes walking) that has southern food, called Hoovers Cooking on Manor Rd.

Although we didn't meet Sara personally, she left the key for us at an agreed-upon spot, and our ""check out"" consisted of leaving the key where we found it.  It was great to be able to ""check in"" at midnight without bothering our host.  She also let us know ahead of time that the door to the cottage has a ""personality"", and that we would have to give it a little push or pull to make it open and close properly - but it wasn't a problem, we figured it out easily, and appreciated being forewarned...

All in all, a great stay, and we would stay there again!  Thanks, Sara!

I enjoyed meeting the owner of the house--she is very friendly and helpful.  Be sure to leave some time available to enjoy the pretty patio area. Price was very reasonable, especially considering the great location."
70659,1382199,2012-05-30,1914968,Alex,"I didn't meet Sara, but she was helpful.  The cottage was neat and comfortable.  It is in a great part of town.  I would certainly stay here again."
70659,1516159,2012-06-19,1995548,Kyla,"The cottage was the perfect place for my parents to stay while visiting me in Austin. It was exactly as pictured and extremely comfortable. The hosts were very nice and respectful of our privacy. My parents and I were able to come and go as we please due to the access and location of the apartment. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would highly recommend Sara's place!"
70659,1559758,2012-06-25,2580720,Whitney,"Sara's place was perfect for a weekend getaway — private, quiet, and oh-so-charming, plus cozy and clean and conveniently-located. Heartily recommend! Will stay again! "
70659,1583368,2012-06-28,2646505,Emily,Great quiet oasis in East Austin! I will be back. 
70659,1669335,2012-07-09,2744271,Christian,"As a first time airbnb user I was *very* nervous. What if the place wasn't what I was expecting? What if the experience was weird? Would my friends and I be better off paying more and getting a hotel than renting a place to stay through the site? Should we really take a risk?

Well, I'm *really* happy that we did. The place was everything we expected and more. It's just as charming as it looks and the feel to the entire place was warm, comforting, and inviting. Every night after a long day tubing or adventuring, we happily looked forward to going back ""home"" to our cottage. And whenever we just wanted to sit back and chat, it was great to have the *beautiful* patio right outside to sit at. The feel to the place fit exactly what we were all looking for that weekend: soothing, refreshing, and just plain great!

For those wondering too, you CAN'T beat the location. EVERYTHING we wanted to do was a short 10 minute drive away. It was great too knowing we could always park in front of the house in a safe neighborhood for free. Got a little tired of paying for parking in downtown Austin.

And although we didn't really get to meet Sara, we did meet Travis and a few of their family friends who were all great. Additionally, I loved that Sara was so willing to work with us! Even though the place only technically accommodates 2, she allowed our party of four to spend 3 nights. We were able to fit a queen size inflatable bed between the bed and the door at night which we just deflated in the morning. Worked like a charm. While we could have certainly gotten a double room at a hotel to ""fix"" that problem, none of us would have in retrospect. You just can't beat the place that Sara and Travis have created. Definitely going to use airbnb again."
70659,1723593,2012-07-16,1343538,Rhiannon,Sara is a great host. She takes care to make sure your stay is great experience. The cottage was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed eating breakfast on the outside patio area. We would stay here again. 
70659,2010089,2012-08-17,2489602,Julian,"Sara and Travis are great people and wonderful hosts. I stayed at their cottage for a month and never got tired of it. The experience exceeded my expectations. Clean, comfortable and quiet. The location is prime too, with easy access to UT's campus and downtown. There are several coffee shops within walking distance. Throw in an amazing shower, strong AC and substantial book collection and you're in guest heaven. There is a reason for the consistent positive reviews. I would definitely stay with the Leete's again in the future. "
70659,2057972,2012-08-21,861115,Jessica & Adam,"Adam and I had a great time in Austin and Sara's guest house out back was well appointed, clean and very private. A perfect little hideaway in a neighborhood near lots of cool restaurants and a very cool coffee shop! "
70659,2196633,2012-09-04,1094261,Katie,"Very convenient to Hyde Park and UT. 
Pretty and comfy room! "
70659,2308918,2012-09-17,926916,Stephanie,"This place is hidden away, cozy, quiet ... just lovely in every way. Within walking distance was a great coffeehouse with excellent breakfast tacos. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
70659,2538884,2012-10-08,3393007,Marian,"Sara's nice little cottage in a nice little neighborhood was the perfect quiet place to stay for our trip to Austin.  We were there to attend a UT football game and knowing that all the hotels would likely be booked, we went to AirBnB where we found several accommodations that were close by.  We discovered that we actually should have walked from that location to the stadium because when we finally found a place to park, it was about the same distance from the stadium."
70659,2627606,2012-10-16,478400,David,"Great locations very close to UT campus, very quiet neighborhood and  well appointed accommodation, would stay there again and would highly recommend Sara's place.  Could not have been a better place for my ACL weekend in October.  "

70659,2824808,2012-11-07,3577494,Brenda,We had a fabulous and stress free stay with Sara.  Great location and easy access to everywhere we needed to be.  I highly recommend renting their cute little cottage!
70659,2865357,2012-11-12,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"Very straight forward. The host was very communicative and the instructions to let ourselves in were detailed and easy to follow. We stayed for four nights and bumped into the host just once — a hassle free and comfortable stay. 

The cottage was great! Everything was clean and ordered. It was essentially a hotel-level experience."
70659,2925411,2012-11-20,2589536,Rius,"My wife and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay in the cottage during the inaugural Formula 1 race weekend.  Everything was exactly as described and very nicely done.  We only briefly saw Travis, Sara's husband, when we arrived and he was very helpful for the few questions we had.
We never saw anyone else, it was very private and very quite.  The front house was also rented but we never saw or heard anyone while we were there.
The cottage is conveniently located near 3 Metro bus stops located up the street and it was very easy to get anywhere.  We used the 37, 320, and the 22 lines.
The Cherrywood Coffeehouse around the corner is a fantastic place to get a breakfast taco and coffee or a burger and beer. "
70659,3184550,2012-12-30,1991267,Mary,"The cottage was very cosy and the renters were very chill. They were accessible and we had everything we needed. Location was close to the 35, a grocery store and an awesome coffeehouse/restaurant. What more could you ask for?"
70659,3305350,2013-01-07,2478276,Federico,"Totally lovely and charming place,  perfect for our weekend getaway. It was very clean, and private. It is very convenient to the freeway, and so quiet. My wife loved the impressionist artwork. We stayed there with our 2 dogs, and it was great to be able to let them explore the yard. We only bumped into Sara once the whole time.  There was plenty of parking on the street, and it was a safe neighbourhood. The  cafe Cherrywood around the corner had really good food, tacos especially. The best part is that everything is close by, downtown is less than a 7 minute drive, so we were able to explore Zilker Park, walk part of the trail and check out the famous 6th street..(a bit too youngish for us..). Don't forget to bring a laptop as there is no TV (couldn't miss my soccer team playing), but there are plenty of books. We would definitely stay there again if we ever found ourselves in Austin."
70659,3374187,2013-01-19,4669026,Stephen,"A really beautiful bijoux studio. Very good location for getting around north central Austin.  I really liked the 22 bus that was just around the corner.  On arrival I took a bit of time to find the gate, but after rereading Sarah's instructions a few times I worked it out!  Great shower and nice decor all round.  Make sure you can deal with the sticky front door well before you need to leave for an important appointment.  We would definitely stay again."
70659,3384390,2013-01-21,6941,Amy,Sara was a nice host and her studio was easy to get to (just off the interstate) and it was cozy.
70659,3600327,2013-02-22,4563495,Margaret,"Sara's cottage was private, quiet and in a great neighborhood with close access to just about everything. As a host, she was conscientious and kind. Highly recommend when you need a place in Austin."
70659,3623267,2013-02-26,4858611,Robyn,"This is such an ideal location~walking distance to a grocery store, a great little coffee shop / restaurant and the bus stop if you need it. Super comfy bed in a roomy cottage with a really nice bathroom. The outdoor area was a great place for  breakfast and we had complete privacy.  I would stay here again any time I am visiting Austin. "
70659,3697083,2013-03-05,95110,Km,"Beautiful, private, comfortable, and spotless. We had a great time. The house is walking distance from the northeast area of UT's campus, as well as several useful bus lines (~15-minute walk from the airport bus). We also rented bikes, which were easy to keep in the back yard. Highly recommended! We would definitely return."
70659,3782776,2013-03-14,1743076,Kevin And Esther,"Had a great stay here during the SXSW conference.  Much better experience than last year when I stayed at a boring hotel on the outskirts of town and had to rent a car and deal with parking everyday.  The place was luxurious, quiet, and comfy, with a bed I wanted to take home with me... ;-) Slept great every night!  

The location was also great, with a bus stop around the corner that got me downtown in a half hour or so.  The Cherrywood Cafe was great for both breakfast and dinner.   Travis was very friendly and made sure the stay went well.   Highly recommend and will stay there again next time... "
70659,3820386,2013-03-18,5121629,Kyla,Awesome quiet little studio that was perfect for my boyfriend & I during SXSW. Amazing that this cute little neighborhood is so close to the highway & downtown! 
70659,4149993,2013-04-14,2568887,Mk,"Pretty much perfect quaint cottage. Private access, come and go easy access to UT and I-35 nearby.  Luxury Bathroom with Shower. 
Remote control ceiling fan, remote control and real Quiet ac/heat- how relaxing can it be!  Oh, a pocket flashlight was handy for finding gate to backyard: especially if you keep late night hours enjoying all Austin has to offer.  Sara is also a good artist and did a great job decorating the cottage. "
70659,4245058,2013-04-22,5087754,Robin,"Great stay!  We were airbnb virgins so this was a great first time experience. Love the separate entrance and freedom to come and go as needed. We were in Austin for a wedding and we were close to family and all the festivities. Perfect for 2-3 days. We'll be back! 
"
70659,4337101,2013-04-29,5272246,Courtney,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Sara's cool cottage for two nights. It was PERFECT!  Everything we expected plus more. It was a cute little neighborhood with lots of available free street parking. The instructions to get into the backyard and cottage were really easy to follow. Once inside, there was plenty of room. I found the mini fridge to be beneficial being that I usually have leftovers from dining out. Also, it was convenient for our drinks! The courtyard area was great for relaxing. We were able to come and go as we pleased without worrying about disturbing Sara.  This made it easy not having to schedule times to meet up and exchange the keys for check-in and check-out. She was a good host and able to be contacted if anything was needed. She even sent me a nice little welcoming message. I highly recommend staying here if you'll be visiting Austin. I would definitely stay at her place again. "
70659,4860554,2013-05-29,1476135,Maiko,"We had a great stay at Sara's private cottage. The space was clean and had a really nice aesthetic. Although it was 90 degrees, the ceiling fan and A/C kept us cool. The bathroom was very clean, with great water pressure and a fancy shower head that made us feel like we were at a spa.  My one complaint would be that the wifi was rather slow, and so we ended up not using the internet as much as we'd liked. However, all in all, I would completely recommend Sara's place!"
70659,5150991,2013-06-15,4607124,Jacin,"wonderful hidden gem, great location!"
70659,5189652,2013-06-17,6474987,Jonathan,"A nice little place to stay for the weekend, allow us quick access to good restaurants and attractions.

Sara was very friendly and showed us how to use the door. She offered to help us with anything we might need, and offered suggestions at local restaurants.

She was"
70659,5336420,2013-06-24,2632412,Max,"Wonderful host! Comfy bed! Perfect location!

Thanks Sara!"
70659,5589934,2013-07-07,259157,Dave,"This cottage was a great find for our vacation - the private entrance was very convenient, the room was cozy, which let the A/C cool it off from the 100 degree days. The bed was firm as we slept in later than usual. Sara was very friendly and also quick to respond during the reservation phase, as we were booking only a few days before arriving. A great place at a great price."
70659,6175200,2013-08-02,6968847,Jenni,"Sara was wonderful and her cottage was adorable. Very quiet, clean and nicley updated. Sara is just present enough to feel like she's around but not intrusive at all. I stayed at this adorable home for 3 weeks! Highly recommended. "
70659,7020376,2013-09-03,4466526,Christopher,Lovely cottage in the heart of Austin - walking distance to a great coffee shop - yet quiet and low-key neighborhood despite being close to freeway and University area. Sara is quite accommodating and gracious host!  
70659,7327130,2013-09-16,4883642,Allyson,We had a great time in Austin.  Sara's place was comfortable and easy to get to from the airport.  We thoroughly enjoyed walking a few blocks down the street to Cherrywood Coffee House.  The are much more than a coffee shop and are open on the weekends. Communication with Sara was prompt even though she was out of town. The location is close to UT which made it easy for us to get to and from campus.
70659,7487946,2013-09-22,8346954,Ryan,fantastic stay- loved the cottage! Sara was incredibly friendly and great to work with. Highly recommended! 
70659,7678021,2013-09-29,8760739,Aliya,"Sara's cottage was comfortable and cosy.  It was very clean and decorated beautifully - the art pieces gave the place character.  We felt at home for the 3 nights we were there.  It was in a great location, close to banks, food, shopping and only about 10 minutes to downtown.  The little yard was also a lovely place to have breakfast in the mornings.  "
70659,7873480,2013-10-07,8004512,Maxwell,Very easy to find and access.  Worked perfectly for a weekend in AUS with the wife...
70659,8371027,2013-10-28,8771021,Michele,"Really enjoyed staying in the cottage. Excellent location, serene and well appointed. Sara was extremely helpful. Highly recommend! "
70659,8621192,2013-11-09,7859265,Belma,"We recently stayed in Sarah's cottage, and while there are some very nice things about it, sadly our experience wasn't as overwhelmingly positive as everyone else's. Positives: the cottage is cute and nicely decorated, with a really nice bathroom (great shower!) and a comfortable bed. It's also quiet, well located and with easy access to the rest of Austin and beyond. Negatives: the WIFI is almost non existent. When we did manage to connect, the signal was so weak it took a long time to load just a single page. As international travellers who can't use data while roaming and rely on free WIFI, this was very frustrating, especially as the property is advertised as having internet. The cottage could also do with some dusting / cleaning. It wasn't too bad (the main things, i.e. bathroom / bed were clean) but things like the fridge, shelves, floor etc. needed some attention. And finally, we also found the host unresponsive and not particularly helpful. This again seems different to other people's experiences, and perhaps there is a reason, but it was definitely disappointing. A message I sent before arrival was never answered. When we arrived there was an email from Sarah, but it was just to tell us to check out at 11 or if we could check out earlier to let her know. I replied to this with our check out time and also asked if we could borrow two wine glasses - again, no response. I sent her another email the next day. This time she replied saying that she'll lay out two glasses for us - but they never appeared! As she was at home throughout our entire stay (although we never met), I'm not sure why it was that difficult to put two glasses into our room. I know this wasn't a hotel or a professional B&B, but I wasn't expecting to be ignored (which is never a nice feeling!). So all in all, unfortunately we will be looking to stay somewhere else next time we're in Austin."
70659,8658479,2013-11-11,9195354,Lauren,"Great host and beautiful, clean cottage! Great location and very peaceful!  Sara was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. "
70659,8719552,2013-11-13,718307,Carolee,Very nice apartment in a lovely neighborhood. Very comfortable and relaxing. Would stay again. 
70659,8811337,2013-11-19,5369326,Eamonn,Lovely clean recently renovated cottage in a safe fenced in back yard of nice neighborhood.  My fiance and I really liked the new glass tile shower.  It is close (block and a half) to a Fiesta grocery store and a coffee shop for a nice breakfast. About 3 blocks to public transportation into downtown.  Downtown is about 20-25 mins of a bus ride (Bus 37).  FYI cabs are scarce in this part of town and take a half hour or so to get there.  Sara was very helpful when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cottage one morning even though she was out of town that weekend. She responded to our text very quickly and her Mom came by with an extra key to let us in.  Thanks again Sara.    Would recommend this place to stay to my friends and family.
70659,9015310,2013-12-02,8593457,Nancy,"Sara's cottage was attractive and clean.  Perfect if you are 1 or 2 people, and not planning to stay there very much, as it's just one room.  Loved the cool shower, artwork, and thorough instructions about getting into the guesthouse.  We had no problems and would recommend this to others!"
70659,9179012,2013-12-11,9350028,Jamie,Lovely cottage in a great section of town. The inside was very homely and relaxing for us on top of being well maintained and clean. Parking is a breeze out front and despite locking ourselves out Sara was very accommodating and responsive.  Wifi had some slight connection issues depending on where you were in the room but we got by just fine. Would recommend to friends and gladly stay again!
70659,9286440,2013-12-18,411560,Joel,"Clean, quiet and comfortable in a great location. Enough said!"
70659,9351948,2013-12-23,1208458,Cathy,"We had a great time at Sara's cottage! Sara's communication with us was excellent, and the cottage was comfortable and cozy. It was just what we were looking for. We felt like we had privacy, but we knew Sara was available if we needed her. Everything was just as she described it, both on the website and in our instructions email. We will definitely look to return!"
70659,10113492,2014-02-01,10217343,Kate,"I stayed at Sara's guest cottage for the month of January. Sara was a great host and always answered any questions I had within minutes. The cottage is very private, I could come and go as I pleased at whatever time of the day.

The room was a good size for one person, the bed was comfortable and desk very large. The wifi signal was sometimes a little weak but as long as I moved around in the room or restarted my computer it was fine. Parking on the street was safe and always available. 

I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a longer stay or just a quick weekend. "
70659,10347146,2014-02-15,718307,Carolee,"As always, staying at Sara's place is a great experience. She's only a text away if you need anything and is super kind. The location can't be beat and it is an extremely relaxing space. "
70659,10519417,2014-02-23,5178968,Matthew,"I absolutely loved staying in Sara's cottage - it was one of my all time favorite places to stay.  The cottage is incredibly comfortable and so well decorated.  There are many interesting pieces of art and furniture and it's a space that is both beautiful and interesting.  The eclectic collection of books, amazing shower, and extremely comfy bedding are all noteworthy.  Sara was also very easy to work with - getting into the cottage was a breeze, it was very clean, and Sara was very responsive to all of my emails.  I would recommend this place to anyone who is spending time in Austin."
70659,11742887,2014-04-14,12045892,Felicity,"Fantastic little place, neighborhood was very homey and peaceful, a really lovely calm place to spend a week!"
70659,12141502,2014-04-23,11921279,Lindsay,"Sara was gracious enough to accept our last minute request on Easter Sunday. We never met her, but finding the key was simple enough and we were able to make ourselves at home just fine.  The cottage is more spacious than I expected, quiet and beautifully decorated. We loved sitting at the table in the yard every day as well. Everything was very clean and I felt like I was staying at home.  There was a grocery store and awesome cafe just a block away and driving downtown was quick and easy.  Wish we could have met Sara at some point for a more ""local"" experience but otherwise this place was really perfect. Definitely recommend! "
70659,12349842,2014-04-29,8276917,Justin,"Excellent accommodation, quiet and with separate entry so you can come and go without disturbing anyone."
70659,12660771,2014-05-07,84048,Jens,"The cottage behind Saras house is simply lovely. Lots of space for one or two guests, clean and all the inventory is in good condition. I liked the beautiful shower. The room stay cool even if its pretty hot outside. Additionally you can sit in the small garden next to the cottage behind the house.
The neighbour is quiet and safe and you can grab a nice coffee/breakfast just 5min walking from Saras location.
Sara itself wasn't present during my stay but all the necessary conversation was quick, friendly and helpful.
To make it short...a really pleasant expierence which makes me want to come bach to Austin soon. Thx Sara."
70659,12845890,2014-05-12,12928099,Anjali,"My friend and I really enjoyed staying at Sara's cottage. It was clean, spacious enough for two people (and my friend's dog that came with us), had good A/C, a comfortable bed, and a nice bathroom. The front door was tricky to open/close and we had to ask Sara to help us open it, but after we got the hang of it, there was no problem. Also, there is ample parking in the neighborhood, which is a big plus. The cottage is close to the main attractions in Austin - everywhere we wanted to go was 5-15 minutes away by car."
70659,13061889,2014-05-19,6352652,Elizabeth,"I reserved Sara's cottage on behalf of my parents while they were visiting me in Austin. It was their first experience with airbnb and I think they were very pleased with the accommodations. While I did not meet Sara in person, she was easy to get in touch with by email/phone and the cottage was spotless when I helped get my parents settled. I would certainly recommend this listing to visitors of Austin!"
70659,13702546,2014-06-02,7208869,Nicole,"Sara's cottage was awesome. It was in the perfect location for all that Austin has to offer, just outside of downtown. Walking distance to university of Texas. The cottage is private, quite and newly renovated, the perfect home away from home complete with mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave. The air conditioner and ceiling fan were perfect for escaping the heat. The queen bed was a little firm but that is the way that I like it. Sara truly thought of everything even including fresh cream in the mini fridge for your morning coffee. Will definitely stay again."
70659,13887547,2014-06-07,5131496,Jose,"My first experience with an airbnb, couldn't wish for a better first time! 

My wife & I so enjoyed our stay at the Cottage, there were cold beers in the fridge!! The space was very clean and exactly what we expected, the location makes it easy to get to downtown. The space was perfect for us and in a nice area.

I would suggest this home to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
70659,13994242,2014-06-09,16157481,SAul,"This is my first Airbnb experience and I loved it. Sara's place has all the things that you need. The place is beautiful with small details that make a big difference. I fell in love with the place, I wish I could live there. She's really nice and kept communication with me the whole time. I didn't have any issues at all. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful place with great parking, location, and privacy. 
"
70659,16127945,2014-07-22,17424758,Taylor,"Sara's little cottage was so cute and perfect for my mom's week-long stay. It was very conveniently located and so much better than her having to stay in a hotel downtown. It was quite, private and very comfortable; my mom especially liked how spacious and lovely the bathroom was. For my first try with Airbnb, it was a very easy, convenient, and positive experience!"
70659,16505093,2014-07-28,15815031,Kris,"Great place, very clean, nice back yard"
70659,17052373,2014-08-06,2488316,Michael,"After I booked the property, I received complete and extremely helpful instructions from Ms. Oswalt. There were not surprises. The property was exactly as described and pictured. It was perfect and much nicer and considerable less expensive than most hotel rooms in the close in areas of Austin. Ms. Oswalt's skills as a stylist spill over into this well designed and laid out cottage. We will definitely stay there again on our return trips to Austin."
70659,17832259,2014-08-18,4544416,Robin,"This detached guest cottage is cute, charming and comfortable! It was exactly as the owner described. We did not meet her because she was on vacation, but she provided excellent directions and included some ""quirks"" about the entry, which were not a problem at all! Showering under the rain shower head was especially refreshing after the hot days in Austin! We may be purchasing one for our own shower! We would stay here again without hesitation and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin who wants a comfortable stay in a great location! 
"
70659,20899094,2014-10-07,19225030,Nimesh,"Great location and easy access to the rest of austin. The guest house is in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to grocery store, bars, and coffee shops.  Sara is great and the place is decorated very well."
70659,21337324,2014-10-15,7531517,Jennifer,"Sarah's bungalow was perfect! My husband and I stayed for 5 days so I could attend a convention down town. The neighborhood was very nice and there was a great coffee house a 5 min walk or short drive away called the Cherrywood Coffee house. Get the Cuban con leche! We rented a car and it took us 8 minutes to get down town. The property was exactly as described. Sarah gave us some dining recommendations that were spot on. Ramen Tsatsuya was the best ramen we have ever had. Great shower and 2 beers in the fridge for us when we arrived! We had a nice, quiet relaxing stay and we would return in a heart beat. Thanks Sarah!"
70659,21778822,2014-10-24,18808179,Gina,"The neighbourhood was lovely, very close to a coffee shop which we frequented most mornings called Cherrywood. Plus close to other amenities. The room was comfortable, nicely decorated, spacious and had a microwave which was useful. It has a private entrance and easy free of charge off road parking. We made use of the garden which was a lovely addition. "
70659,21951086,2014-10-27,149848,Karen,"Adorable,  clean, comfortable and convenient. Picked up Torchy's tacos and ate them outside in the little patio area. Had one question, which Sara responded to immediately. Infinitely better than a hotel room and a lot less expensive. Linens spotless and bed was very comfortable, and I have a bad back. Easy, effortless stay. Thanks, Sara! "
70659,22538616,2014-11-09,49366,Karim,Excellent accommodations and very easy to coordinate with Sara.  Would definitely come back.
70659,22862925,2014-11-16,3801944,Jett,"Sara's place was exactly as it was described.  Very basic, but with exactly what you need for a few nights.  A perfect little writing retreat if you need one & the neighborhood was very quiet!  "
70659,23275289,2014-11-27,1099803,Christine C,"I never met Sara. The only communication was text messages wanting to know whether we could leave early on thanksgiving so it could be cleaned for next guests. Perhaps she was gone. 

The house was in a quiet backyard with trees, close to my daughter and the cherrywood coffeehouse where we went everyday. The bed was really really comfortable.

The only problems we had were an electric plug near the bed that didn't work and the refrigerator froze all our food even tho it was turned down low. 
"
70659,23507872,2014-12-02,15691017,Aseel,"Sara provides all details as soon as you book the room. The little cottage was clean and we had a private entrance and the back yard. We enjoyed the book collection and as it was our first time in austin we appreciated the travel guides. Public transport was not an issue and we loved the cherrywood cafe and the La Fiesta Mart which is open 24 hours in case of emergency purchases (a 3 min walk away). 

Would recommend staying here if you want to be in a quiet and beautiful area, with friendly neighbours, and to relax in the garden. "
70659,25029548,2015-01-05,2957753,Carol,"Sara provides all details as soon as you book the room.  I never met her but she was quick to respond to any texts.

The little cottage was clean and has a private entrance. There is a convenient 24 hour La Fiesta Mart at the end of her street.

I would recommend staying here if you want to be in a quiet, tree lined area, with friendly neighbours and convenient free parking.  Within an easy drive to downtown and close to a major highway."
70659,26312978,2015-02-09,4501968,Rachel,"This space was exactly what we needed during our visit to Austin. Great location, beautiful space and so easy to find. We loved how low key the process was and how easy it was to come and go. I highly recommend this spot to anyone needing a comfy place to lay their heads while taking in all of the fun Austin has to offer. "
70659,26915137,2015-02-22,25612350,Patricia,"The cottage was delightful and the neighborhood charming. Private and peaceful, it was also very convenient to downtown. Everything was just as described and very clean. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and stay here again, a great alternative to a predictable hotel room!"
70659,27217535,2015-02-28,2783815,Lisa,"The cottage was perfect for a short weekend in Austin. It felt very private, and came with everything we needed – right down to the Austin IPA in the mini fridge, and the koozies to go along with it. On a frigid February weekend, it wasn't within walking distance of much, but there's a great little cafe 3 blocks away (Cherrywood) and the proximity to the freeway and main roads offers easy access to downtown, east Austin, and north Austin."
70659,28386303,2015-03-23,26189891,Alan,"Lovely little cottage, and very quiet despite proximity to I-35.
Sara dealt very promptly with a couple of minor problems."
70659,28699957,2015-03-29,8968732,Cameron,"We had a great weekend getaway at Sara's place!  Everything was comfortable and just what we needed.  Slept like a champ, the shower was awesome, and the coffee choices have been adopted into our lives.  Very accurate description and we felt like a phenomenal value.  Even made a kitty friend while having coffee in her wonderful backyard.  We will be back! "
70659,28946960,2015-04-01,28586204,Amy,This cottage was great! Sara made it so easy for us to come and go as we pleased. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The cottage is very quiet and private and in a great location.
70659,29293559,2015-04-06,2240643,Anna,"The cottage was great! Located in a charming neighborhood (highly recommend checking out a nearby café called Cherrywood). The place was very clean and exactly as described. Sara made the stay very easy with detailed instructions for our arrival. All in all, a perfect stay for a couple of days in Austin. "
70659,29728323,2015-04-12,1632364,Nick,Nice cottage in a great location. Well decorated and nice backyard. Would recommend
70659,30786893,2015-04-27,16832709,Evren,My only regret is that I have but 5 stars to give to this listing.  Stop thinking about it and book this place.
70659,31658140,2015-05-08,557111,Traylor,I was very happy with my private little space.  It was clean and convenient and nice to come back and just relax after a long day.  Thank you Sara for accommodating my very late arrival and for making everything so comfortable. I will definitely put this on my top list of places to stay in Austin. 
70659,31943916,2015-05-12,29278971,Timothy,We had a serene and restful stay in Sarah's cottage...we will definitely stay there again next time we're in Austin.
70659,32170409,2015-05-15,20163081,Jamie,"Sarah was a fantastic host! Since I'm from the area (now live in Nashville) but just needed a space for a quick trip home, I loved that I could come and go as I pleased. I wasn't looking for a new friend in a strange locale and this space was so perfect for it. The room was cozy, adorable and super-close to some of my favorite places to grab coffee and my friend's homes. I have zero complaints and highly recommend her space to anyone looking for a quiet place to lay your head. "
70659,32559733,2015-05-19,18886566,Scott,"Sara's quiet private backyard cottage was exactly what I was looking for during my stay in Austin. It was clean, convenient and very comfortable - exactly as described. Detailed information on the cottage made arriving and departing easy. Coffee, teas and a few beers in the bar fridge were the icing on the cake and very much appreciated!

As others have mentioned, the Cherrywood cafe just a couple blocks away is definitely worth a visit."
70659,33085751,2015-05-25,21533006,Carol,"The cottage is small but fine for one or two people maximum. It is private, peaceful and in a convenient location.  We had a few questions  once we arrived but communicated with Sara via text since she was out of town for the weekend.  We missed having a TV or radio in the room since we were there during the flash floods and tornado warnings and really would have liked to hear weather updates!  Appreciated Sara's willingness for us to bring our small dog with us.  Nice yard and sitting area but unable to use it during our stay due to the terrible weather!"
70659,34440990,2015-06-08,32268627,Marisa,"Everything was lovely. This space was exactly what we we needed  - it was close to downtown, allowed us privacy, and was well taken care. "
70659,34961918,2015-06-14,30312234,John,Everything about this spot was accurate. It was a short drive around town for the places we wanted to check out. Will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
70659,35325789,2015-06-17,33390589,Sue,"The little cottage was clean and inviting when we arrived.  The neighborhood is quiet and in a convenient location.  We enjoyed the coffeehouse down the street.  Overall, our stay was peaceful and private.   We definitely recommend this place!"
70659,35717987,2015-06-21,35318479,Stephanie,"Sara's cottage was perfect for our weekend!  The directions helped us find our way in perfectly and at our own convenience, the place was clean and homely and the perfect size for a couple.  The neighborhood is nice and conveniently located off of the highway.  There was a super cute coffee shop called Cherrywood that we enjoyed and getting downtown was also easy.  I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this cute, cozy cottage!"
70659,38025393,2015-07-12,34066136,Johnny,This place is awesome! The host responds to any questions right away via text and works with you to schedule arrival/departure times. Very quiet and cozy. 
70659,38535460,2015-07-16,37094980,Robert,"Sara's listing perfectly described the space and amenities.  We arrived later in the evening and she had the key waiting for us.  

Her cottage was a great staging place for our tour of Austin, and it's proximity to hwy 35 made traveling easier - from Barton Springs to Salt Lick. 

Thank you, Sara!"
70659,44146399,2015-08-24,25591355,Joy,"Great little cottage, good location, cute neighborhood. The shower was divine, the air conditioning was nice and cold in the summer heat. "
70659,44938607,2015-08-30,10086930,Isaac,Sara gave us the freedom to be as close or as distant as we pleased. She knows how to be a good host
70659,45809280,2015-09-06,6559601,Milly,"We had a wonderful stay at Sara's cottage! We included me, my husband, a 2 1/2 month baby, and golden retriever. Very clean and the bed is comfortable. Shower is also really nice, ""rain fall"" shower head. Wifi worked great! Area felt safe and in a great location to central/north central Austin. Parking is no hassle! Host was very accommodating and sweet. Available if we needed her but we didn't see her, felt very private. I would stay here again and recommend to friends! "
70659,46175179,2015-09-08,22129448,Renah,Sara was an incredibly accomdating host. We ended up getting to the place a little earlier than expected and she was very gracious about it. Allowing my friend to leave his dog there while we went to a triathlon expo. The little house is exactly as described and as cute as the picture. It was a cool and comfortable spot in a great location for getting to Austin city center. The street was quiet. It was overall and excellent experience and I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin. 
70659,46725526,2015-09-13,39174468,Bobbi,"Nice and clean
Could have used better towels
Location not easy to get to our family from
Cooling system rather hard for us to regulate
Comfortable bed
Nicely updated
Not set up for any cooking"
70659,47702131,2015-09-21,16175097,Pete,"We never actually met or even saw our host, as her own travel prevented her from being there when we arrived, and she did not 'pop in' any time we were there.   Ships passing in the night.  The A/C was not working for some reason, but while we were out for awhile the host came by and got it working.   We missed not having any TV, but none was claimed in the description.  We were missing towels, but some appeared while we were gone, after we let our host know.  The ""room"" was quiet and the neighborhood felt safe, but the driveway/gate entrance to the rear of the house was unlighted at night, and the driveway had lots of trip hazards, making it feel a little creepy.  Our stay was 'OK' but the only stay where we never encountered out host in person.  "
70659,48518221,2015-09-27,30062965,Jennifer,"This is a great neighborhood. There are large trees and nice houses, and it's centrally located. The cottage is very quaint and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again. "
70659,49620187,2015-10-05,3248424,Rick,"We came to Austin for ACL, and Sara's cottage was perfect for us with a comfortable bed and a nicely decorated bathroom.  We arrived late in the evening, and were prepared with detailed instructions from Sara.  It's a great place and great location for a visit to Austin!"
70659,50434620,2015-10-12,11830349,Nathan,"The location is safe and easy to find. If you are visiting to see the city, I would recommend renting a car. The inside of the cottage is very cozy and the bathroom is great. The outside patio area was a great spot for breakfast. There were a few issues that we encountered, but Sara was great about addressing them and was eager to help and make sure we were comfortable. Sara is a great host and we would be happy to stay with her again. "
70659,52039680,2015-10-26,33587057,Samantha,"The cottage was very clean, private, and cozy. It was also pretty close to downtown which made the cost of an ubber ride there and back very affordable. I would enthusiastically recommend this location to anyone staying in the Austin area. Thank you so much for making our trip relaxing and easy!"
70659,52581858,2015-10-31,6893850,Ramiro,Excellent place to stay in Austin. Perfect location. Convenient to everything. 
70659,52973762,2015-11-03,4738385,Leah,"Sara was a responsive and professional host. Everything she laid out in the house manual was accurate, including all photos. The cottage was cozy, clean, and perfect for 2 people. Sara makes sure that the cottage is stocked with the essentials - shampoo, toothpaste, coffee and a coffeemaker, books, and more. Located in a picturesque residential neighborhood near great food options on Manor Road and short drive to downtown, this cottage was perfect for a long weekend trip to Austin!"
7183585,39854515,2015-07-26,38674000,Albert,"This house was great lots of character. Master bedroom was great 
This house can sleep anywhere from 6-8 people perfectly. 
Great location uber ride is only like 10 mins away from 6th at. 
"
7183585,50437604,2015-10-12,24620731,Kerri,"Tori's large home was the perfect extended weekend getaway for our family of six to enjoy Austin and ACL Festival. Awesomely decorated with all the amenities you could need including super comfy beds, fantastic yard with a grill (perfect for father-son bonding time), and a large dining table for family dinners -- and one late night Whataburger run. Downtown is only 7 miles away so you can Uber with ease. Added bonus: Adorable and friendly kitties, Blueberry and Pancakes, quickly became beloved members of our family. I hope Tori will welcome us back next year!"
5480629,28420962,2015-03-23,4991948,Dan,"Wonderful space!  This place is small compared to most apartments, yes, but it really doesn't feel small.  There's a well-appointed kitchen--gas range, almost full-size fridge, nice new pots and pans and knives, etc.  Plenty of room to prepare food.  Edward also stocked the kitchen with condiments and other basics. There's fancy cabinets, recessed lighting; remote-control HVAC unit. Everything feels shiny and new and modern, and still quite comfortable. A+

The neighborhood is quiet and family-oriented.  Across the street, there's a school.  But it's really quite close to downtown.  With the real-time information, I had my choice of 3 bus routes running downtown to pick from and never a long wait.

Edward is a very sweet and accommodating host; onsite so if you need anything, he'll be right there.  This was a great place!"
5480629,28915301,2015-03-31,5269939,Caroline,"Great location, great host, great unit! I would absolutely recommend this modern, clean unit to anyone who wants to hang out close to one of Austin's hippest areas. Edward was a great host! "
5480629,29079709,2015-04-03,21400460,Drew,"This was my first time using Airbnb.  Thanks to Edward and his family, the bar is now set very high!  They were extremely friendly/accommodating, and the place was perfect for my needs.  It is newly renovated, with great appliances and a comfy bed.  I loved the coffee, too!  The quiet neighborhood made for a peaceful stay.  I will definitely be back. "
5480629,29242154,2015-04-05,5326231,Emily,"Edward and his family was most welcoming! He was super helpful in accommodating a short notice booking. The neighborhood is nice and quiet - with a park across the street. The micro unit is very comfortable and cozy. It has everything you could need and a little more.  It was the perfect respite to escape our busy schedule while in Austin.  ..Not to mention having a daily greeting on our way I in or out by their adorable pup Louie. 
I hope to have the chance to stay there again should my travels bring me back to town. "
5480629,30049628,2015-04-16,10363,Mella,"Beautiful, neat, peaceful space.  I love the neighborhood and enjoyed evening jogs after work.  The bed is comfortable and the hosts are kind."
5480629,30209563,2015-04-19,27733642,Kristin,"A perfect oasis for my husband and I while staying in Austin. We can't wait to come back! This little micro casita has everything you need, including great hosts. They are available, but also give you all the privacy you want. This space has lots of natural light, an awesome radio and the bed was super comfortable. The neighborhood has restaurants and stores you can walk to and feels like authentic Austin. We recommend this little gem!!"
5480629,30479705,2015-04-22,399722,Marissa,Edward and his daughter made us feel very welcome! The mini house was exactly as described and felt like home for our weekend in Austin. We really enjoyed our stay here and would suggest to friends in the future!
5480629,30789509,2015-04-27,29582913,Mike,"Edward and his family provided some of the best hospitality that my fiancee and I have ever experienced. From arrival to departure, everything was perfect. Help when you need it, privacy when you want it, amazing location, comfortable space and bed, delicious coffee, cute dog.  Could go on and on. It was our first trip to Austin and it could not have gone better. We hope this place is still available when we return! Thank you!"
5480629,31054405,2015-05-01,29347146,Sarah,Edward was very welcoming! His description was very accurate in fact it was better than the pictures. It was across the street from a school so the neighborhood was nice and it was a very convenient location to be at. Close to most things cool in Austin. I would stay here again and recommend it!
5480629,31681502,2015-05-08,4955031,Laura,This was a lovely place to stay in Austin! I would definitely recommend. 
5480629,31947164,2015-05-12,29102517,Ashley,"Edward and his entire family, included Louis the Beagle, greeted us after our long drive, quickly gave us the tour and high-level walkthrough, and then left us to enjoy our vacation! But, they were just a call or knock away if we needed them — though we didn't, because his Micro-unit was insanely well planned, stocked, designed, and kept. I'll be talking about this place for awhile. The neighborhood is walkable, adorable, so close to some of the best tacos in town. Nothing but great things to say."
5480629,32177928,2015-05-15,30795151,Branden,"This was our first stay in an Airbnb, and thanks to Edward and his family, it was a great stay! The micro-unit was perfect for two. It was very clean and comfortable, and it had everything we needed! Thank you, Edward and family, for a great stay."
5480629,32527346,2015-05-19,1651842,Courtney,It was very nice staying here. It was a perfectly cozy place. Edward's daughter was very polite and gave us a little tour when we first arrived. I felt that Edward provided everything that one would need to have a comfortable stay in Austin. 
5480629,33250573,2015-05-26,30265753,William,"The Casita was great, better than anticipated. The kitchen was complete with washer/dryer. The location was great. Everything was cleaned and in working order. The host was cordial and helpful.

Did I say it was great?"
5480629,33529066,2015-05-29,22531074,Joshua,"We had such a lovely time in Edwards tiny space. It was in such a great location and everything we could have asked for. Edward had something come up and was out of town so we didn't get to meet him personally, but he had everything ready for us and his partner was so kind. She greeted us and gave us a list of nearby places to eat and shop. We will recommend this space to anyone who wants to have a great Austin experience. Thank you, Edward!"
5480629,45055554,2015-08-31,14609742,MaChérie,"I was Edward's first long-term guest in the casita, and stayed for three months after relocating to Austin. 

The Pros: Edward and his family are very welcoming! The casita is fully stocked with everything you need, from kitchen spices to incense. It's in a great location (close to great restaurants, shopping, a grocery store, and several bus stops with routes direct to downtown). Edward has a nice garden, and guests are welcome to help themselves to garlic, tomatoes, and other goodies. He and his family are very generous, and often shared meals with me when they were cooking out or had extra food. I'm a bit of an introvert, and they respected my privacy even though I lived just 10 feet from their home.

The Cons: Internet access is through a guest network, so if you bring your own television, devices like Chromecast will not work. The internet connection was spotty, though that situation should improve when Google Fiber is installed in a month or so. Edward and his family were away on vacation for several weeks, resulting in a slower response time with minor emergencies (though this was primarily the fault of the friend they left to handle emergencies in their absence). I would also recommend working out a regular cleaning schedule before you arrive if you are a long term guest.

Overall, I would highly recommend Edward as a host. Though the casita is small, it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay!"
5480629,46697576,2015-09-13,22980684,Alice,"This is a terrific place to stay in Austin. The cottage is beautifully appointed, great light, comfortable bed, full kitchen, good air-conditioning. The bathroom is on the small side but completely serviceable and appropriate to this size unit.

It sits in a lovely yard where the adorable and friendly beagle Louie likes to sunbathe. If you are not into dogs, Louie will leave you alone, but if you are into dogs, Louie is pretty much the perfect dog. 

Edward and Susana, and their daughter Amelia are great hosts. They are available for any questions but offer you plenty of privacy. They are also fun to talk to, well-traveled and good-humoured. 

The cottage is set far back from the street, so it's quiet and peaceful. 

Would definitely stay here again."
5480629,47175348,2015-09-16,40971785,Jessica,"What an awesome spot! We had a great time staying at this micro home during our quick trip to Austin. There was plenty of space of us and all of our things, and the location can't be beat. We were within 5-10 minutes of everything. Edward was welcoming and accommodating, and the description, photos, etc are very accurate, which we appreciated! We also enjoyed meeting their friendly Beagle pup :)"
5480629,48071975,2015-09-23,35578243,Blanca,Our stay was perfect in this place. The owners were very kind and helpful. The place was clean and with everything you may need in a trip. We will be back for sure! Thanks!!
5480629,48293037,2015-09-25,18619104,Nick,"My stay at Edwards place was FANTASTIC. 
My fiancé and I went for three days for a concert and just to get away. The location is great, close to good eats on Congress within walking distance, and just a few minutes drive from down town. Unfortunately Edward was out of town on business during our stay, but Susana was wonderfully sweet and welcoming. Greeted us with a smile and some local Texas beers! The unit is so homey and cozy, we felt right at home! We will definitely be staying here again! "
5480629,48865122,2015-09-29,34098688,Cassie,"This was our first time using Airbnb and could not have had a better experience. The micro-unit is so cozy and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and we loved how well the kitchen space was used. We were in town for a wedding at Mercury Hall and this location was perfect. It was only a five minute walk to the wedding and the best restaurants downtown and on South Congress were only a few minutes drive away. The neighborhood is a quiet, residential area, which is exactly what we were looking for. Edward and Susana were wonderful hosts and were very helpful as we were planning for our trip. Highly recommend staying here! "
5480629,51426092,2015-10-20,21141647,Hannah,"Edwards micro cabin was absolutely perfect! I can't recommend it enough. The family were so friendly and helpful. The micro cabin is well air conditioned, private, does not feel cramped at all - lots of room and very clean. Everything I could have needed was provided and the location is spot on for exploring South Congress, walking distance to the lively areas & also local buses running from the end of the street. Also, I travelled alone & have to say I felt very safe in the area. "
5480629,51665881,2015-10-22,37063984,Celani,"This was a wonderful place to stay! Great location and I loved the place itself. The decor was adorable, and I particularly loved the tea selection they provided. Also Summermoon Coffee was super close and a great place to stop for coffee. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone, and will hopefully stay here again myself sometime soon."
5480629,52047670,2015-10-26,39390289,Hun,"Ed and family greeted us when we arrived and made us feel welcome immediately, letting us know the features of the micro-unit. Home is across from a school and very quiet. Listing was accurate. My husband and I loved staying there and I was grateful for a location close to the conference I was attending. Would recommend it to anyone considering staying in North Austin."
5480629,52656608,2015-10-31,47503602,Evelyn,"I loved this spot! It was clean, welcoming and the perfect, quiet get away. And, it's close to downtown! Edward and his family could not have been more accommodating. From quick communication, to taco suggestions and mud boots on a rainy exit, this proved to be the Airbnb experience all others will be compared to. "
650862,10192862,2014-02-05,10733737,Joan,"We loved our stay at Janine's beautiful house. The house is comfortable, spotlessly clean, and quiet. All conveniences were in good working order, with plenty of clean towels, extra blankets for the bed, etc. The kitchen is well equipped with everything for the home cook. Janine and Bill were very gracious hosts, and available to help with anything we needed. We had a great time walking around and exploring all the new places popping up in the neighborhood. Good cafes, restaurants, food trailers, shops. It was the perfect home away from home for us during our Austin getaway!"
650862,10900680,2014-03-12,10966690,Maggie,"We couldn't have asked for a better home and host for our stay in Austin!

The house was perfect - updated, comfortable, spacious, and in a neighborhood a short walk from downtown.  

Janine and her husband were wonderful hosts (thanks for the beer and snacks!).

I can't wait to go to Austin so we can stay there again.  

Nick"
650862,11374398,2014-03-31,13208192,Jess,"Thank you to Janine and Bill for a lovely weekend in Austin! Their home is beautiful, comfortable and was fully stocked with everything we needed for a fun and restful girls weekend (including high quality cookware for making brunch). The property is located just three blocks from bars and restaurants on Rainey Street and minutes from downtown. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt very safe during our stay. We could not have asked for a better location and so appreciate Janine and Bill's hospitality! I hope to stay here on my next visit to Austin."
650862,11757020,2014-04-14,13271053,Amanda,"Janine and this house were a delight!  I would highly recommend staying here.  To start, Janine and her husband were so friendly to us.  They drove us around town to help us get our bearings and even took us to the grocery store to stock up!  The house was beautifully decorated, clean and charming.  The wifi worked great, and there was even Google TV if you wanted some time to relax in front of the TV.  I cannot say enough nice things about Janine and this house.  I would stay here again in a heart beat!"
650862,12038684,2014-04-21,11587761,Charles,"Our experience staying at Janine and Bill's beautiful house exceeded our expectations.  The house is absolutely spotless and in a very quiet and green area of town, walking distance to the city, river, wonderful restaurants and bars.  Neighbours are very friendly!  Beds and living area were extremely comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the front deck in the mornings with a coffee or tea (supplied by the hosts along with other necessities).  This completely made our trip to Austin and I look forward to returning very soon."
650862,12621802,2014-05-06,2428405,Tara,"Janine's lovely home was the perfect fit for our brief stay in Austin. It was conveniently located, an easy trip from the airport, downtown, South Congress, and walkable to nearby restaurants, including those on Rainey St. The house was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous furniture and decor, a relaxing atmosphere, a wonderful full kitchen, and nice front porch for nighttime sitting outside. It served our group of six (plus baby) very well, and Janine exceeded expectations as a host, leaving us a portable crib for the baby and plenty of refreshments. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend it highly to all."
650862,13473743,2014-05-28,13830401,Jaime,"Janine's home was so much better than expected for my first AirBnB stay!  The house was clean, comfortable and with so many finishing touches like artwork and books that I felt I was staying in the home of a friend rather than in a rental.  
The location is perfect for getting to all of the cooler parts of Austin without being right on any 'strip'.  
Janine made every effort to ensure that we enjoyed our stay.  On a rainy day she even offered us a ride to our event!  (Bill drove us there.)
I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Austin.  Five Stars!"
650862,13918914,2014-06-08,14935788,Greg,"What a lovely home and accommodating host! We had a wonderful time and felt so much more connected to the city than if we were downtown in a hotel. With the X Games in town the following week, we were very lucky to even find a place! Janine has such a distinctive touch with her interior design, and we sometimes didn't want to go to our tech conference just because her home was so much more inviting. We were close to food trucks, Austin B-cycle stops and East 1st Grocery (best beer selection!). As a new user to Airbnb, I am very impressed with our experience and would highly recommend the service and home. See y'all soon!"
650862,14174278,2014-06-13,1327821,Breana,"Janine was an exemplary host, well above the standard of any professional hotelier I have experienced! A host of extra 'goodies' were included, there were snacks to keep our little 7 year-old happy (even enough to satisfy him after an epic road trip!), toys, the most recent newspapers/gig guides, packaged food and fresh eggs available for breakfast, drinks - incredible!
Janine is a wonderfully friendly and welcoming lady, you'll be in great hands."
650862,14986149,2014-06-30,16400371,Ginger,We adored our stay at Janine's beautiful house!  The pictures don't quite do it justice.  This is a very charming home with gorgeous vintage furniture and art from all over the world.  Janine was an excellent hostess.  She provided everything we possibly could have needed from bottled water in the fridge to sunscreen!  She was easy to communicate with and very nice.  We could not recommend this listing more highly!  
650862,22353344,2014-11-04,2431764,Christopher,Janine was at the house to welcome us as we arrived. She gave us a tour of the house and showed us where all the necessities were. 
650862,23921117,2014-12-14,12398700,Ryan,"We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be staying here again. The house is beautiful, clean, and welcoming. 

Janine was a wonderful host. She was sweet, responsive, and available when we needed anything.

10/10, would stay again."
650862,28117681,2015-03-18,3156982,Alana,"Janine was the perfect AirBnb host and her home was beautiful. Seven of us spent a week for SXSW in Janine's amazing bungalow. There was plenty of space for all of us, an amazing porch to enjoy an early morning coffee or late night glass of wine, and the neighborhood is safe and quiet and only a 10 minute walk from downtown. Janine even picked us up some groceries which was a huge time saver and so helpful! We hope we can stay next year!"
650862,28393965,2015-03-23,2966838,Miriam,"Our time at Janine's home was perfect. The house itself is gorgeous, tastefully designed, and very clean. There was plenty of room for 5 adults. Janine is a gracious host. She greeted us upon arrival with a tour of the house and provided us with an abundance of healthy snacks and breakfast foods. Halfway through our stay, Janine asked if we were in need of anything else and dropped off a few more items that we ran out of- coffee, avocado, yogurt, etc. Couldn't ask for anything more from our stay at Janine's home."
650862,29439481,2015-04-07,14640200,Shannon,"The hosts were amazing.  They greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the house and explained the TV and heater.  Then they left us to be but with the knowledge that they live just around the block so if we need anything they were there.  

The location is really perfect for getting around Austin.  We were able to walk to the river many times, to South Congress Street,and to downtown.  After all the walking and paddleboarding, it was nice to know that we had many restaurants within a few blocks so we didn't have to go far.  

Often we brought the food back home because it was so comfortable there.  We could eat on the patio or in the dining room.  The kitchen was very well equipped for anyone who wants to make there own meals.

When our taxi to the airport failed to show, they offered to take us to the airport.  Amazing"
650862,30379010,2015-04-21,1278280,James,"Our experience in Austin & at Jannine's house was wonderful! 

First of all she was a very nice host who ensured we were comftorable & or needed anything. 
Second of all,  the house was beautiful & well taken care of.
Third of all, the location was great & within walking distance to many beautiful sights.

We would definetly stay again if we ever traveled to the growing city.



 "
650862,30864739,2015-04-28,27741884,Linda,"This was such a lovely home to stay in.    Janine and her husband went out of their way to welcome us.  They kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed.  We arrived very late at night due to plane delay but waiting for us was a bottle of wine, bagels, bottles of water, eggs, bowl of fruit, etc.  We were not expecting anything so it was a very pleasant surprise.  Our favorite part of the house was the front porch with all the birds singing and cooing.  The kitchen was fabulous with really nice cookware and a five burner gas stove.  I was in heaven :).   They were very earth conscious and they had a wonderful system for recycling that we really liked.  We would definitely stay here again.   House was very very clean and the decorating was awesome.  Beautiful wood floors and antiques.  The location was perfect.  Very close to downtown but very quiet.  Thanks Janine & Bill a hundred times over."
650862,32049385,2015-05-13,4608250,Holly,"Janine was the perfect host for our trip to Austin, she greeted us and showed us around her beautiful house when we arrived and was even kind enough to leave us with some supplies to make our arrival as hassle free as possible... fresh fruit, some beers, some food for breakfast and the best salsa ever!  The house was perfect for our group of friends, the ideal location in the East side of Austin.  We could walk to most locations, and the neighbourhood was safe and friendly. 

Janine and her husband really couldn't have been more perfect, her husband even drove a couple of us to the airport when we realised we couldn't all fit in our Uber with all our bags when we left.  

We'd all 100% recommend staying here and we'll definitely be back at some point too! 

Thank you Janine! :) "
650862,46167985,2015-09-08,32089314,Michael,Awesome unique house. House was exactly as reviewed. Very old school vibe. 
650862,49975608,2015-10-08,3896293,Courteny,"Janine's house was lovely through and through. The location was great within 10 minute walking distance of food trucks, cafes and even downtown. Yet the neighborhood was quiet. The house itself had personality and we all really enjoyed the feel. The only thing to be aware of is that one of the bedrooms doesn't have a door, there is a screen around the bed for privacy, and the light switch for the bathroom in that bedroom and the second bedroom is through the first. So, a little funky but totally doable and quite pleasant for what we needed. Bonus the porch was lovely and we spent as much time as we could hanging out there. Both morning coffee and evening chats. "
2460980,10910726,2014-03-12,9493840,Nick,Great place! Super clean and comfortable. Host was great and responsive! Would stay here again!
2460980,25896139,2015-01-28,11802561,Samuel,The reservation was canceled 47 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
73559,998619,2012-03-14,1182719,Andy,"This house is very conveniently located. A couple blocks from cheap public bus lines, just over a mile from the convention center and downtown and so on. It's on a quiet street and fairly set back from other homes.

The house itself is pretty old, which has it's own charms, however it felt like it had been just as many years since it was well cleaned. Lester was a kind host and very responsive. But if you need a certain level of cleanliness then I would caution you. Otherwise, there were no complaints."
73559,1042100,2012-03-25,1982510,Vanessa,"I loved staying with Lester and his roommate, Aaron. It was my first time using Airbnb and I loved it. They are super laidback, and they also showed me around their awesome neighborhood my first night in Austin. Thank you, Lester and Aaron!!!! "
5516786,28038464,2015-03-16,2022200,Kim,Zac and Jake were great - super welcoming and accommodating. They provided a helpful ever-note about the neighborhood and the apartment. We stayed for SXSW and it was a good fit. 
5537935,28042248,2015-03-16,28822625,Linda,"Alexa was super nice and a great host. Before my stay, she left a list of places to eat and bands to see and even offered to lend me her bike for the weekend. Everyone (email hidden)-op was super welcoming and I had lots of offers to hangout (and would have done so, had I not been so busy with SXSW). the room is charming and comfortable. And there are chickens in the yard! Fun!

If you are a young woman travelling alone, you might think about a cab at night. The area east of the highway is gentrifying fast and has so many great eateries and foodtrucks and shops. But it can be quiet at night. I come from a city, but not everyone else might be comfortable. You can walk to red river/11th and grab something there. Otherwise, super walkable to lots of downtown destinations."
5537935,33130293,2015-05-25,3166146,Susan,"Staying at Bella's place was a great experience. Bella was very attentive, keeping up communication to make sure we knew how to get in and had settled in well, and even providing snacks, which was a nice touch.

Her housemates were very friendly, offering suggestions of where to go and Duke the cat even came and hung out with us for a while, which was relaxing!

The place itself is old with creaky floors and definitely has the scent of cat- so make sure you're that's your thing. The room itself was clean and tidy and personally, having lived in many an old place with animals, I was perfectly at home.

The location is awesome - convenient local places or just a 15 minute walk from East 6th Street where there are some lovely bars and eateries.

The place also has parking, which was super handy for us on our road trip.

We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin."
5537935,34479836,2015-06-08,25334822,Jessie,"Amazing house, really cool styling in the bedroom. Exactly the kind of Austin experience we were looking for! Great location that is close enough to walk to heaps of delicious eating spots, bars, live music and dancing. 
Alexa was a premium host - making great recommendations for everything from coffee to fancy dinner. She checked in a few times to make sure we finding everything ok. Highly recommend! "
5537935,35755081,2015-06-21,8052838,Kristina,"Ideal neighborhood for walking/biking..away from the craziness of downtown but plenty of little bars and shops around to keep you busy. Quiet, peaceful, and enjoyable stay. The room itself was very clean and beautiful..it makes you feel like you are a part of the culture here. It is part of a house where a handful of other people live, but I did not run into them. If you are looking for someplace that is immaculately clean, this is not the place for you, but if you don't mind a place that is rough around the edges but part of the community, you will enjoy it. "
5537935,39057647,2015-07-20,27960026,Benjamin,"Alexa and her flatmates were very welcoming. The house is located in the charming east Austin area, next to food trucks and 10 min walk away from the downtown. We had such a nice stay there. We definitely recommend it. Thank you !"
5537935,41529159,2015-08-07,23357450,Elizabeth,Awesome place to stay close to downtown Austin! Quiet and clean room. Alexa was a very considerate host. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
5537935,42995912,2015-08-16,643445,Sam,"Alexa's room was spacious, clean and perfectly located for exploring Austin. Communication made everything very simple and everyone in the house were really welcoming. Highly recommended. Thanks Alexa!"
5537935,50537391,2015-10-12,27674428,Nick,"My trip to Austin could not have gone any better, and Alexa's room was a big part of that. The bed was comfy and the room was cozy without being small. Getting in and set up was extremely easy, even though Alexa wasn't there to meet me herself. Everyone in the house was very nice (they even let me join in on a party they had one of the nights I was there), and the location could not have been better for getting into downtown. Alexa's recommendations for food were also on point (you have to wait in line at the BBQ place down the street, it's worth it). If you like what the description has to offer, then definitely book this room."
1125837,31450509,2015-05-05,26174392,Craig,This home is fabulous. The location and the neighborhood is unbelievable. We walked to all the bars and restaurants in downtown. Our group of 8 had plenty of room. The enclosed patio is brilliant. Kate was a pleasure to deal with though we did not get to meet her. The neighbor responded to any needs we had. The only minor negatives would be the train horns during the night and no cable or direct tv. Other than that I would highly recommend this home. 
1125837,32518030,2015-05-19,491509,Sean,"Staying with Kate was a great experience through and through, from her personal emails leading up to the stay to the comfort of her magnificent home.

The house is located within walking distance of Whole Foods and made for easy travel to most of the sites we wanted to visit - we also had no trouble walking between the house and downtown.

Would absolutely recommend this as it easily housed 8 people without it feeling at all crowded!

"
1125837,33656097,2015-05-31,13813606,Sean,"Our experience visiting Austin was completely made by the accommodations, the location, and the overall ease of coordinating with the owner.  

The location is right near downtown and a short walk to a lot of great restaurants, stores, etc.  Parking was easy for our rental car and getting around from this location was super easy.

The house was immaculate, comfortable, and very well appointed.  Our whole group was way more than happy with our lodging.  

If we ever come back to Austin, we will absolutely reach back out to rent this property again.  Couldn't imagine a better place."
4749959,24890409,2015-01-03,7616563,Stefan,"Pete has been a delight to interact with! Very responsive and polite, answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and even suggested some improvements to our initial plans. SoLa lodge is pretty, comfortable, and clean (one of my friends is quite a clean freak, but she liked this place a lot). It's also located in a great spot - just a short Uber ride to the city center or some of the best food trucks I've ever tried. On top of that, it's just a 2 minute walk away from Black Sheep Lodge - a great spot to start the night before heading out downtown."
4749959,26192839,2015-02-06,9504465,Patricia,"Pete was very welcoming and informative. The house is super cute, very clean, fully stocked (hair dryer!), and in a great location close to everything."
4749959,27584436,2015-03-08,9508871,Zenobia,"We had a great stay in Austin. The location couldn't have been better. Right in the middle of south Austin. Pete was very helpful. We had the plumbing in one bathroom back up, and he had a plumber out in just a few hours so that we would all be able to get ready for an event later that night. Would definitely stay again."
4749959,31952981,2015-05-12,11763862,Brian,"Thanks for everything, Pete. Your place was just what we needed and you were an excellent host. Would definitely stay here again."
4749959,35507250,2015-06-19,34572083,Shannon,"Great experience! SoLa Lodge is just as pictured; charming, colorful, clean and well maintained. Pete made everything seamless and pleasant. We loved the neighborhood and all the delicious restaurant options there. Being @ 7 mins from downtown by uber meant we didn't need to rent a car for our business meetings. All around win - recommended!"
4749959,37352324,2015-07-06,26127320,Steve,Sola Lodge is a wonderful place to stay. Great location and very clean. My wife and I would highly recommend it. 
4749959,38045917,2015-07-12,35569007,Jacqueline,"Great stay at Petes house,  it was close to major restaurants and close to where we wanted to go."
4749959,38993589,2015-07-20,31309645,Corey,"Pete was great, very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The house was everything we expected from the listing. Great atmosphere and great location. We had an awesome time and would book again with Pete in a heartbeat!"
4749959,45945787,2015-09-07,36830785,Rebecca,Great and easy location. Great for a few days in Austin!

4749959,50428192,2015-10-12,32288409,Jason,Wonderful experience. Perfect place for our needs. Honestly no negative feedback or above for improvement. Thank you Pete & Alan!
4749959,52966416,2015-11-03,2302044,Misti,We had a great time in this house. Awesome location and all the basic necessities you might need.
5736280,28458059,2015-03-23,28841511,Michael,"I cannot say enough good things about Will and Karen.  What wonderful people.  Extremely kind and caring.  Out in a quiet semi-secluded area near the South border of Austin, this place is almost like a mini farm-ranch.  They had about 20 beautiful, healthy chickens-- a colorful variety, roaming around the side and back yard. An adorable little girl, a mellow dog, and 2 sweet cats also added to the homey domestic feeling.  Very Bed and Breakfast feel to their property.  It's everything that is stated in the ad.  When I arrived, Karen immediately greeted me and offered me a beverage and a healthy, delicious dinner, which consisted of organic and yard grown produce.  She also made me some of their yard fresh, straight- from- the- hen eggs in the morning, with organic coffee to boot!  Can you ask for anything more?  Will is a very hard working professional musician and it was intriguing listening to some of his experiences with the industry and some of the helpful tips he shared---what a fantastic stay I had at their place..I really couldn't have had a more fitting, pleasant and relaxing time.  If you are just looking for a natural, cozy, funky, quaint and modest place to hang your hat for the day, and don't need a luxurious splurge, this is the place to stay.  Thanks again ya'll."
5736280,29028142,2015-04-02,11003303,Alex,"This was a great experience. The hosts really wanted me to have a great time and communicated clearly with me to ensure I loved my stay. The quarters are small, but with the windows open, I enjoyed a relaxing night of sleep with some fresh air. "
5736280,29899665,2015-04-13,1541094,Will,Solid place for a quick stay. Exactly as described and very easy to communicate with Will. I will definitely be staying again and would recommend.
5736280,30913695,2015-04-28,14064010,Andrew,"Will, Karen, and Coralina made us feel very welcome!  We stayed in the trailer out back which was just big enough for two.  We were very comfortable here as it reminded us of home and didn't feel at all like we were minutes from downtown Austin.  We had a great time chatting and cooking some food together.  Coralina is a riot and pretty much kept us occupied the whole time!  We will definitely be back if we happen to be in the area again."
5736280,32009037,2015-05-12,32490719,Michelle,Will has a welcoming  quiet  environment.  Its rural and set off the  beaten path . He checked on me several times to make sure i was comfortable . I didnt  meet his wife but Will  was extremely nice. I had the pleasure of building a fire in the  pit it was a blast the neighbors came out and they are also  extremely nice.
5736280,32081786,2015-05-13,23624685,Clare,Will was incredibly welcoming and very reliable for getting in touch with. His detailed descriptions and help about his house is great and I felt very comfortable. Eggs and coffee were great in the morning! I also really enjoyed discussing music with him and hearing his plans and projects!
5736280,32623781,2015-05-19,30846874,Hashim,"This was a pleasant stay and the hosts were reasonable and decent people. Will and Karen seem to have carved out a pretty interesting life for themselves and it was pretty cool getting to getting to stop by and check it out for a bit. 

I guess I'll start with the things I liked the most: 

1) Rustic/natural charm: I ended up staying in a room in the house as opposed to the trailer. I really liked everything from the furniture to the property. It has a simple beauty that I felt was very peaceful. 

2) Convenient Location: In spite of looking like you're in the middle of nowhere, they are really close to a major road with a bunch of businesses. So I got to pretend like I was living on the frontier but also hit a shopping center & Planet Fitness. lol

3) Privacy: Staying with a family, I thought this would be an issue, but as it turns out they're really good about respecting boundaries. 

4) Price: If I'm to be honest, this is probably the most important factor. I stayed for very cheap. At the rate these guys were offering they could really do no wrong.

I don't really have any complaints, primarily because of the excellent value this place represented. That said, you're definitely staying with a family (and a busy one at that) so I would tailor my expectations accordingly. 

On that note I will say one last thing. These guys are busy. Between managing their own business, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and caring for a two-year old there's a lot going on. Our schedules didn't really sync up, as they did early mornings and I had late nights. 

For this reason, I didn't have too much interaction with the family and really only exchanged a couple of sentences with Will. I don't think either of us had the time to get to know one another. In spite of this, my hosts were mature enough to be able to accommodate my radically different schedule without any friction. Karen also made it a point to check in on me and make sure I was comfortable with regard to food, climate control and bedding. "
5736280,35188404,2015-06-15,5862121,Cristian,Arriving at Karen and Will's place is like coming home.
5736280,35810734,2015-06-22,25438168,Jerry,"Great stay!  Austin is a great city, but at times, especially after the recent heavy rains, it can be a big, busy, traffic-ridden frustrating place. Not to worry.  Will and Karen have a place on the edge of town where you can escape all of that.  It's a homey home with generous hosts....always asking, but not annoying at all, how to make my stay more comfortable.  I wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
5736280,41690891,2015-08-08,38758398,Michael,Very peaceful and welcoming.
4051142,22249883,2014-11-02,20337490,Tim,"After an initial issue with obtaining the key. The apartment was great, within walking distance of a few nice restaurants and bar's, and if you are prepared, even the ""lively"" part of 6th street is within walking distance. The apartment is very well equipped, and very clean. Everything exactly as advertised. Parking is readily available. I would recommend this apartment anytime, and will gladly make use of it again when back in Austin."
4051142,22863621,2014-11-16,23090291,Kayla,The place was clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipt and useable. Mary was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to my messages.
4051142,23857334,2014-12-12,24670293,Mark,"Mary was very accommodating and responded quickly to any message.  The apartment is within walking distance to many bars/shopping and is a $5 cab ride to busier parts of 6th street. 

She provides you with her WIFI password."
4051142,24680614,2015-01-01,6174398,Laure-Anne,"The  apartment looks like the pictures, it s quite big and quiet. Nevertheless, I dont recommend it for 3 people, only for 2. I knew there was only one bed, but there was no sheet or blankets for the 3rd person and the couch is not really comfortable. We were also unable to connect to the Wifi and the light in the bathroom didn't work. "
4051142,25534889,2015-01-18,15140846,Dan,great place close to downtown. Only a 8 dollar cab ride to rainey. Very comfortable bed and good couch. Also has a mattress. Owner was very accommodating for check in/out. Would stay again.
4051142,26173153,2015-02-05,1397610,MingLi,The owner responds quickly and was flexible regarding when I checked in and out. The location is convenient for where I needed to go. The listing is accurate. I mainly used the wifi which worked fine.
4051142,26511008,2015-02-14,3729109,Brandon,Mary was a great host. She was very responsive during the entire process and made the stay seamless and worry free. The location is very close to everything but far enough away to avoid the noisiest parts of the area. The only potential negative was that the walls were a little thin. Not an issue for me but it could possibly be for an extremely light sleeper. I would definitely stay at Mary's place again!
4051142,26552358,2015-02-15,15427561,Lydia,"Only stayed here one night but the apartment was exactly as pictured, quiet area but close enough to all the fun of 6th street. Mary always responded very quickly to any questions I had and was very flexible regarding checking in and out."

4051142,47744771,2015-09-21,28115646,Marija,"Hi,

Mary was a great host. She waited for us and welcomed us on time. She even left the parking permit for us to use it even though it was not in the official agreement.
The place was cute, modest and comfortable.
The only issue we had was the sheets and towels. They were clean but worn out and had stains on it.
"
8069972,47789226,2015-09-21,43094661,Esteban,"Not a terrible place to stay, but most definitely not a luxury either. There is almost no furniture. If you plan on cooking meals be aware that you will be eating on a gold out table and wobbly folding chairs. We opted to go out. The bed in the smaller bedroom is very uncomfortable and if you are planning on four people to stay, one should be prepared for a couch. The TV has no cable box or antenna, so that makes the TV useless. The shower has a large moldy hole above it, so that was gross. Otherwise decent location, good amenities in the complex."

He provided lifts to and from the airport, which was much appreciated, especially during the busy time of SXSW. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy, both of a good size and the bed was very comfy

The house is well located, with a bus stop right outside on a route that goes to downtown Austin in about 10-15 minutes and is also available at night. Very convenient for getting around.

A very enjoyable and stress free stay. Would highly recommend."
956655,4549727,2013-05-12,5633612,Irmgard,"I had a pleasant stay. They made sure that I'm not hungry and that I don't miss interesting spots in Austin-thanks for taking me with you;-)
I would definitely come back."
1462311,8313221,2013-10-25,1637499,Calen,"Chris was a fantastic host for the 3 nights I was there.  The cottage is newly renovated and will be fantastic once is it 100% completed.  The location is ideal, right by my favorite bakery and amazing restaurants. Staying in a house with a fully stocked fridge, gift certificate for a local restaurant and cookies was definitely a treat.  Chris is definitely easy to work with, very accommodating and I would definitely come back to his property the next time I am in town.  "
1462311,8421004,2013-10-29,126947,Sophie,"A wonderful oasis in a great location with everything you need to relax and enjoy your time there. Chris was extremely friendly, helpful and hospitable and the house was tastefully furnished and comfortable. He also has very cute pet goats. We'll be back! "
1462311,8436586,2013-10-30,9522819,Juliet,"Lovely place to stay in a great area. Chris was easy to get hold of and helpful. Only small comments, I thought there were 2 bedrooms and the lovely candles were great in masking a bit of a weird smell. However, they were very minor things and we would definitely use again."
1462311,8541219,2013-11-04,469618,Megan,"Chris was a great, friendly, responsive host with a great space. The SoCo Cottage was had a great location, close to shops + food trucks in both walking + biking distant. The cottage was perfect for two, with all the amenities that we needed with a few extras like the dwarf goats out back. Chris' cottage really enhanced our Austin experience. Thanks for everything!"
1462311,8779719,2013-11-18,8269445,Carson,"What an outstanding place? The house is beautiful and well located.  It is only a 5 minute walk from the litany of restaurants and shops on South Congress and First Street, but off the main drags enough that it feels pleasantly secluded.  

Chris himself was a great host who really made our trip something special.  The man knows ATX inside and out.  If you want to know about something, he'll have the answer.  

I'd highly recommend a stay with Chris.  "
1462311,8859256,2013-11-22,9698501,Chris,"Chris was a kind, gracious and very informative host! The SoCo Cottage is very clean and well stocked with toiletries, towels, drinks in the 'fridge, etc. etc.. All I needed for a comfortable visit. This was my first time using Airbnb so I was hesitant at first, but after staying at Chris' SoCo Cottage, I would definitely use this service again--- and definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin!

Thanks, Chris!"
1462311,9035066,2013-12-02,7693359,Deborah,Great location!  Chris was a great host.  We had everything that we needed.  Would return again.

1462311,9339520,2013-12-22,3579256,Eric,"Chris is not kidding when he says this location is amazing! You are walking distance from one of the best parts of Austin. Even though we are from the area, we were able to see Austin from a unique and different perspective. Chris was eager to give us recommendations and his place was very charming. We had an amazing time in this special location!"
1462311,9445607,2013-12-29,8167026,Mai Anh,I absolutely adored this space. It's as pretty as the pictures. The house was well-decorated and conveniently located. Chris was a great host - laid back and very welcoming. Definitely pick his brain for local spots. I look forward to coming back to stay next time I'm in Austin.
1462311,9749220,2014-01-07,7728157,Jeremy,"Chris was such a fantastic host and the cottage is beyond adorable. Seriously, it's got style and it's super welcoming and well appointed. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night! We're in love with Austin and it's funky style- this cottage is in the absolute best location and will really get you in the spirit of the city.  "
1462311,9879246,2014-01-16,10850365,Devon,"The place was gorgeous, quaint, and perfectly located near everything. We kept trying to leave the south congress area to explore only to be drawn back to right where we started. The goats in the back are friendly and love attention and the 3 dogs roaming around the back can do tricks too!  The huge teepee in the back yard is so magical I couldn't help but snoop around and take photos. Chris was kind enough to show us around after picking us up from the airport. I would recommend this place to anyone. "
1462311,9973763,2014-01-22,2520928,Lindsay,"The location is perfect, and we loved the cottage! Walking distance to everything (really, everything), convenient parking, and the goats in the backyard are adorable. We stayed for four nights, and it was a great getaway. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin. Thanks Chris!"
1462311,10038506,2014-01-27,7038196,Michel,"Chris was a great host! Gave us great tips on where to eat around town and helped us have a great weekend in Austin. The house has everything you may need as well as free drinks in the fridge (Thanks Chris!). The only con was the cold weather. The heating system did not work as well as we hoped for and some parts of the house were a bit chilly. Other than that, this is a great house in a great location!"
1462311,10074611,2014-01-28,11572815,Krystal,"Chris was a great host, super accommodating. Cool little place!"
1462311,10094471,2014-01-30,11339256,Callie,"We came during the great snow of 2014! hahaha seriously, it was cold. But, the cottage was wonderful. Because, it is in Austin-which is not equipped to handle cold weather-the house was freezing! But, Chris had heaters set up through out the house and we stayed relatively warm. The bath tub was a favorite feature for us and everything was just so perfect! Thank you, Chris!"
1462311,10126946,2014-02-01,11347679,Megan,Chris was a great host! Took us for a handy quick driving tour on arrival so we could orientate ourselves around Austin. Really helpful and knowledgeable - great restaurant and bar suggestions! 
1462311,10152324,2014-02-03,2994649,Michael,Chris was a great host and the place was perfect. Just a block from South Congress and a mile from 6th st. Perfect place for those who want to stay close by but want to not be in a standard hotel. We ate at Guero's Mexican Grill on South Congress and tried the old fashioned Soda Shop. Definitely recommend.
1462311,10260414,2014-02-10,9850035,Paige,Great location - extremely walkable. Enjoyed the decor and accommodations. Cozy even with the extreme temps. Fun to have goats to come home to. Would stay again.
1462311,10419549,2014-02-18,10486665,Bryan,"I do not have enough good things to say about my experience here. First, the accommodations were perfect for a comfortable and easy stay in Austin. The cottage was clean and charming, bed super comfortable, and location couldn't have been more ideal. Everything you would want to do in Austin are in walking distance from here (or a quick/cheap cab ride).

Chris was also a wonderful host and even picked us up from the airport and gave a tour of Austin - which was amazing having never been. His dining and entertainment recommendations were superb. Would definitely stay here again."
1462311,10468334,2014-02-20,8673281,Janice,"The location was perfect. Close to amazing food trucks and walking distance to great boutiques and restaurants. The cottage itself is so beautiful--I loved the charming decor. We especially loved relaxing on the back deck and borrowing bikes to ride around.

Chris was an amazing host--he had great restaurant and bar recommendations. He was so friendly and we loved meeting his adorable dogs."
1462311,10484482,2014-02-21,3675230,Emily,"Chris was great, place was cute, awesome location. I would recommend walking to Elizabeth street cafe and perlas for eating and drinking."
1462311,10567488,2014-02-25,5497757,Sarah,"Had a great time in Austin. This location was perfect. We rode the provided bikes all over and wouldn't have stayed elsewhere. Great for a run to Zilker park, tons of restaurants and good sleep at night. Be sure to ask if you have any questions about area or provided items as listed. We had all we could need and want but it sounds like things provided vary a bit by what location you stay in of Chris's. Wouldn't consider other locations in Austin! "
1462311,10605082,2014-02-27,414627,Charlotte,"Chris is the perfect host. He even picked us up from the airport. The cottage was very nicely decorated and super clean. It's walking distance from everything South Congress has to offer. Chris is a walking guide book with lots of great recommendations. He even texted me after we left that we should go visit Gruene, TX. We followed his advice and the Gruene Hall was AMAZING! Totally recommending this very experienced Airbnb Host!"
1462311,10662976,2014-03-02,10546379,Leah,"I was in town for a conference and this was a nice alternative to staying in a hotel. The cabin has a great oversize tub and the bed is really comfortable. The location is fantastic.. Right next to 1st street and down the street from S. Congress.

The cabin itself is a little quirky and a bit rustic... And I found this charming. 

Chris is a fantastic host. Very nice with a wealth of info... And also very respectful of privacy.

I really hope to visit again. "
1462311,10715878,2014-03-04,11095024,Brenda,Wanted to thank Chris for his hospitality during our stay at his SoCo Cottage in Austin.  It is in the perfect location.  We usually spend a lot of time in the shops and restaurants on South Congress when we visit Austin -but the SoCo Cottage is also very close to 1st Ave which has some very fun spots as well.  Chris was a great host with lots of great suggestions on where to go.
1462311,10765674,2014-03-06,9410661,Santos,I had a great experience here. I would definitely be returning and recommend Chris if you ever go to austin. 
1462311,10916968,2014-03-13,1485798,Patrick,"I have stayed with several Airbnb hosts and a chris is one of my favorites. The cottage is clean, well-provisioned and in a great location. It was a true home away from home in Austin. "
1462311,11088590,2014-03-20,1498207,Jonathon,"An amazing stay! A great location for exploring Austin, and Chris was super helpful with great tips. Plus: Goats!"
1462311,11277819,2014-03-28,11049156,Fran,"Cottage - stunning.
Location - awesome.
Host - fabulous, amiable and accommodating.
Recommended? - totally, without hesitation!"
1462311,11428110,2014-04-02,11656027,(email hidden),"A wonderful stay at the SoCo Cottage! The house is the perfect size, is playfully decorated, and has everything for a luxurious stay -- a comfortable bed, huge fluffy towels, a giant bathtub (with a seemingly endless supply of incredibly hot water, for hot shower/bath lovers). The backyard has an enormous teepee, chairs and a picnic table for relaxing. Chris, the host and owner, is friendly and has great recommendations for what to see and do. 

Also, the location is ideal. Up and across the street is Bouldin Coffee House -- they have a happy hour from 3-7 with cheap, excellent drinks, and great food (lots of vegan options). A short walk in the other direction takes you to South Congress, where you can shop your way to downtown Austin."
1462311,11457662,2014-04-03,1637320,Bruno,Chris was a true professional and very accommodating host. The cottage is totally ideal for quick access to Congress Street and Chris makes you feel more than welcome once you arrive. Don't waste your time and stay her now. the end.
1462311,11580587,2014-04-08,10834175,Emily,"Chris was a great host, offering advice and pickup/dropoff from the airport. The space itself was in a quiet location sandwiched perfectly in between two busy, main streets - South Congress and South 1st; easy to walk to lunch or dinner, Gordough's for donuts and all the awesome shopping on Congress. The cottage itself was homey and had a fun ambiance stocked full of Mexican Coca-Cola and beer, which was an added bonus! Another awesome part about the SoCo Cottage were the bikes available for use - we took a long bike ride up to the botanical gardens/Barton Springs. Can't wait to return to Austin and hope to stay here again!"
1462311,11682088,2014-04-12,11809288,Steve,"Chris's cottage is perfectly situated for easy access to the hip South Congress area in Austin. Chris was very attentive and helpful during our stay. There was a huge hail storm on our first night and, within ten minutes of the hail stopping, he was out clearing it off the balcony. He was helpful with suggestions of places to eat and things to do. Two minutes walk away is the Bouldin Creek Cafe, a great place for breakfast (and any other meal, actually!). We had a problem with a heater in the cottage and Chris got it sorted out for us quickly. We got married while we were in Austin, and the cottage was a lovely space to get ready in. Chris asked casually where we were eating the evening after our wedding and he arranged a voucher towards our meal as a wedding gift - thanks Chris! A really special few days in this great space."
1462311,11787837,2014-04-15,4582769,Erin,"We came for a wedding in Austin, and this was the perfect place to stay! Walking distance to South Congress (or he has bikes you can use!), great living room for relaxing in, and every girl's dream: a fridge with diet cokes & sodas for the taking! Chris was a really gracious host - he showed us around his property even though we got in super late, and made sure we had everything we needed. He was really communicative and really on top of it. Thanks Chris!! We hope to come back soon! "
1462311,11883805,2014-04-18,8712832,Denise,"Ah not sure where to start here. This is the second Airbnb experience I've had where the pictures are quite deceiving. This is an old bungalow. A previous user summed it up as ""not the type of place you would want to walk around barefoot in"" and I'd have to agree. The floors were pretty dirty. There are holes everywhere, in the floor (one in the bathroom where you can see the ground and foundation), holes in the walls  (covered by paper plates) and holes in bedroom (plugged by paper towels). The whole building likely needs an hvac and electrical overhaul, as there were power strips, cords, space heaters and wires everywhere. When we arrived there, it was like a Febreze bomb had gone off, the smell so overwhelming I was tasting and choking on it. I opened all the doors in an attempt to air out the space, but it definitely lingered, and I'm not sure what other odor might have previously existed that required covering up so extensively.  The ""backyard"" was like a communal area where there were multiple cars parked daily. Also, there was a regular stream of random men everywhere that didn't introduce themselves- doing chores, painting, like they all lived there (maybe in the teepee?) If I were a woman staying here alone, I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable, as there is limited privacy. Overall, I got a sense that this place was where either a lot of dudes lived, or a place where a lot of dudes crash. Chris himself said he was coming to meet us upon arrival, but we waited around an hour and then decided to just go get lunch because we were starving. He showed up afterwards with a brief rundown of “how the heater works” followed by a rapid fire list of suggested things to do.  In conclusion, I don't think I will be returning to the SoCo Cottage, next time I'm probably going to seek out something more traditional like the Motel on South Congress, the price is similar & the location just as convenient."
1462311,12174724,2014-04-25,2676014,Amanda,"We absolutely loved our stay in Austin. The location of the house is perfect and Chris is a very friendly and generous host. We arrived in Austin a night early and stayed in a hotel downtown and Chris picked us up from there on our check in day. He drove us around and showed us some places to eat and drink before taking us to the house. The house and surrounding property have a cabin feel to it, which we really liked. The kitchen wasn’t quite what we were expecting, we usually like to make a few of our own meals which is one of the reasons we like to stay in vacation rentals rather than hotels, but there isn’t really the equipment to do that. That being said, I am sure if we asked Chris for anything he would have provided it. We didn’t want to bother him though as he had already done so much. Also, with the amount of awesome restaurants in the area we didn’t even want to do our own cooking. The rest of the house was perfect, the bed was so comfortable and we loved the porch in the front and the chairs on the side of the house to enjoy the weather. His dogs are so cute and super friendly, and the goats in the back were too. Thanks for everything, Chris! Hope to see you again soon. "
1462311,12228223,2014-04-26,1382882,Jacqueline,"We can't say enough about our great stay in Chris's home in Austin!! Great location, cozy bed and lots of thoughtful extras that Chris provided from helpful directions to a fridge full of cold drink for a hot afternoon.  "

1462311,12376446,2014-04-30,10028694,Sarah,"Chris's place was extremely true to the photos, everything was absolutely adorable. He was kind enough to pick us up from a friend's house and bring us to the SoCo cottage, where we immediately got on the bikes he had available and ride around town. The location is great, with easy access to the river and plenty of great bars and restaurants. The bed was incredibly comfortable as well, which was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this place for a great stay in Austin!"
1462311,12652714,2014-05-07,2184425,Mark,"We had a fantastic week stay at the cottage, not only just because of it's charm, comfort and location. Chris is an amazing host. He actually took the time to discover what our interests were to help guide our experience  of Austin. We felt like we were at home. We would love to stay again!"
1462311,12739246,2014-05-10,5627593,Brianna,"chris's place was one of my favourite places I've ever airbnb-ed at so far. so incredibly well decorated (true to the photos!), in a cosy house with wood panel ceilings and walls, which give it an awesome cabin feel. chris was super cool and accommodating and really easy to get along with. we liked him and his southern charm instantly. he has the sweetest dogs which we were very happy to welcome onto our porch whenever we saw them running around, and really friendly goats! the location was awesome - we love the south congress neighbourhood. close to some neat eateries and vintage shops (our fave!). we will definitely be booking this spot again. we definitely felt at home, which is what we look for in our airbnbs!"

1462311,12942405,2014-05-15,121868,Sara,"Chris was a great host, he provided everything I needed and more in the SoCo Cottage. He was very accommodating, suggesting places to check out and even giving me a ride downtown one evening. The cottage was very clean and well-stocked, looks just like the photos! It's such a great location, I walked to nearby restaurants and shops and the bus stops were no more than a block away to get into downtown. It was rainy while I was there so I didn't get a chance to use the bikes he had available. I wish I could've stayed longer! "
1462311,12998732,2014-05-17,12507341,Scott,"Chris was an excellent host and made you feel right at home from the start! He was gracious enough to provide snacks and a fully stocked refrigerator with an assortment of beverages.The SoCo cottage is within an easy walk to South Congress, as well as many local popular food trucks and restaurants located within the neighborhood. Chris knows the ends and outs of Austin and even gave us a tour to show us all the hot spots within the area. Thanks to Cars2Go (strongly recommended!) we were also able to explore downtown and Barton Springs, and there were always plenty of cars within a couple of blocks at all times of the day. There is a reason the SoCo Cottage is one of the top places to stay in Austin on airbnb, and I highly recommend checking it out the next time you're traveling to Austin!"
1462311,13464586,2014-05-28,1813295,Jessica,"We loved our stay at this rustic, charming cottage.  It had a very relaxed vibe and is in a great neighbourhood, and Chris was the perfect host - giving suggestions on things to do, lending kitchen equipment, offering lifts, and letting us use his washing machine. "
1462311,14109700,2014-06-12,10285205,Tara,"This was our first Airbnb experience - and I can only hope they will all be this good! The SoCo Cottage is a perfect home base to explore Austin. The cottage has a definite rustic charm, but with modern updates like a super-comfy memory foam bed and TV/internet (although we didn't even turn it on). It's clean, well-furnished and the location could not be any better... blocks from shops on South Congress and South First Street, a quick $1 bus ride to the downtown, and just steps from The Soup Peddler (to start your day off with fresh juice and smoothies). Chris was a great host... and saved us a bunch of money too by picking us up at the airport, giving us an unused dinner gift certificate and offering rides when he was around. I'm sure we'll be back to Austin and would not hesitate to stay here again."
1462311,14222034,2014-06-15,575990,Jamie,"We had a great time at Austinville.  From being picked up at the airport with little dogs in tow, to being able to walk everywhere you'd want, to a charming place with lots of character and a stocked beverage fridge- we'd stay there again!"
1462311,14424719,2014-06-19,4034336,Christina,"We stayed at the SoCo cottage for one night during a cross country road trip. The cottage was great and the neighborhood excellent (and at the cafe on the corner!). Great touches, like the stocked beverage fridge! We told friends from the east coast that we want to go back with them and stay in the side by side houses. We wished we'd stayed for two nights! Chris was awesome, have us tips on restaurants, cafés, etc and also told us that über was free during our stay! Thanks Chris for being a great host! "
1462311,14773849,2014-06-26,510087,Stephannie,"Chris is so nice and helpful!  Great place, as pictured.  Fantastic location as well. The goats and dogs are very sweet.  My mom and I went horseback riding with Sam, which was wonderful."
1462311,15670283,2014-07-14,1129242,Jordan,Chris' soco cottage was perfect for me and my husband! It was within walking distance of some of our favorite austin spots. Chris was a great host and always had suggestions of things to do in the area! We would definitely stay here again!
1462311,15893496,2014-07-17,17942039,Jerrica,Chris was a great host! He gave us several recommendations on fun activities my boyfriend and I could do for our first time in Austin! Our cottage was awesome and very clean. We had a blast and would definitely come back again!! Thank you so much!
1462311,16054953,2014-07-21,6474175,Lisa,"Chris is a pro host. It's no surprise he has a special designation. He responds quickly and knows Austin like the back of his hand. I've never seen customer service at his speed and warmth.

The photos are accurate, so the design is funky and fun like Austin. The cottage is old, and it's definitely a cottage. So expect a small, cozy, older cottage...almost like a cabin with an excellent decorator.

The location to South Congress and 1st street is fantastic. Heck, I've parked almost this far away because parking in that area of town is so tight...so grrrrrreat location.

Unfortunately we left without sleeping there. There were a couple of electrical outlets/swtiches that were open with exposed wires. It didn't seem safe (especially in the bathroom where you might be wet). We got nervous about leaving the dogs there in case there was a fire hazard.

With that said, Chris handled our reaction like a champ. He refunded our stay and sent out a contractor to check out the situation.  I couldn't ask for a better reaction from Chris and Airbnb.

And the fact that we could bring our two dogs in the first place was really cool. That's why we picked it.  "
1462311,16266541,2014-07-24,17682347,Amanda,"This cottage was great! The location was absolutely perfect. It was so convenient being a short walk from South Congress and a short drive from downtown. Chris was a gracious host and the fully stocked fridge was awesome. We will definitely be coming back to stay here! The only downside was it would get warm in the bathroom and kitchen because the window units were only in the bedroom and living room. But again, we went in the middle of July. Other than that, the place was great!"
1462311,16841563,2014-08-03,2870354,Steve,"Chris was an incredible host.  He took the time to take us on a quick tour of Austin, recommended great restaurants, was always available to answer any questions, kept a well stocked fridge, and made us feel like we were old friends coming back home.  The location is perfect and in walking distance to South Congress and 1st streets (fantastic spots for food, drinks and stores) and a quick ride via bike or car to 6th Street, UT and Barton Springs.  The cottage was very clean, comfortable, and really cozy.  I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in Austin when we go back.  "
1462311,17010598,2014-08-05,4456218,Tonya,"Another great experience!  Last time I stayed next door, but this place was just as enjoyable. Super easy check in and out. In the August Austin heat, the fridge full of cold beverages is much appreciated. The bed is super comfy and loved the walking distance to so many great places in the  area. "
1462311,17354603,2014-08-11,17084532,Sophie,Chris went above and beyond to make our short stay in Austin as comfortable and eventful as possible.  We have loved every minute! The cottage is beautiful and we want to take the goats and the dogs home with us. We will definitely be coming back to Austin and will definitely be staying here again if Chris will have us. 
1462311,17998299,2014-08-20,15344389,Lara,"My husband and I really enjoyed our 6 day stay here. Chris was a great host - giving us a tour of both the cottage and surrounding area when we arrived and providing tips on places to eat, day trip destinations, and things to do in Austin during our visit. The cottage was spacious, clean, and nicely decorated and the location perfect - we could easily bike into town or walk to music venues, restaurants, shops, and bars. We especially appreciated use of the bikes and the fridge full of cold beverages. Thanks Chris for all your help and hospitality!"
1462311,18097768,2014-08-21,20127831,Amy,"Wonderful Place! Chris was great and answered all our questions. The fridge was well stocked, the location convenient, and dinner recommendation spot on! We'll be back! Thanks again! "
1462311,18145781,2014-08-22,19928578,Adam,"Get little house in the middle of everything. Chris was at the property when we arrived and gave us a quick tour of the place. Told us about the local attractions, eats, and other general Austin information. After our little arrival briefing, he left us to do our own thing, but was never futher than a text away. Great location. and great insight into Austin. "
1462311,18279096,2014-08-24,591810,Kathryn,"Billy (Kathryn's partner) stayed here for a night. The place was ideally situated between S. Congress & 1st St. Everything was exactly as described, including cold beer in the fridge! Accommodations were perfect and the goats in the back yard were cute. Chris gave me the scoop on everything I could have wanted to know about the neighborhood and beyond. I recommend his place without hesitation!"
1462311,18675485,2014-08-30,19709137,Kelli,"We could not have been happier with our experience at Chris's AMAZING Austin airbnb! I was so excited to see this place in person and was not disappointed. 

Chris greeted us upon arrival, showed us the property and the inside of the cottage. He provided coupons for local restaurants, a fully stocked beverage fridge, and a beautiful clean space. He was very communicative, easy to talk to, and offered a tour of the surrounding areas. 

The space itself was absolutely perfect. The mattress was nicer than the one we have at home, the place stayed cool during the Austin August heat, and the location was outstanding. We were walking distance to everything we wanted: vintage shopping and good restaurants! 

I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin. 

Not gonna lie, my airbnb was my favorite part of our trip. The goats in the backyard made it a five star experience! "
1462311,18879321,2014-09-02,17021760,Robert,The SoCo cottage was great. The location was perfect and in walking distance to everything we needed. Chris made our stay great and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely a good place to stay in Austin.
1462311,19025948,2014-09-05,5809809,David,"My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it! This is THE airbnb to stay in in Austin! There is no better location, and no better host than Chris. We will definitely stay here again!"
1462311,19316003,2014-09-10,11279668,Chilee,"The Soco Cottage was just fabulous! So close to everything I wanted to see. SOCO mainly. Chris was a great host, very helpful with suggestions and quick to answer questions. Fridge was stocked with beverages..Nice touch! 
Cottage was clean and on point with the Airbnb description. I will definitely be back on my next visit to Austin.  We loved it!"
1462311,19422405,2014-09-12,288879,Sophie,The SoCo cottage was ideal for our Austin trip. Perfect location with some great restaurants and bars in easy walking distance. Also really handy to have the bikes to use. Chris is a great host. Communication was easy and nothing was too much trouble. Would recomend
1462311,19490353,2014-09-13,10719665,Dan,"Wow! What an amazing cottage. Tucked right in a the heart of South Congress. So much character in Chris' property. You can tell how much he cares about making this a unique memorable experience for his guests. And an added awesomeness, his beer and soda fridge stocked for your enjoyment. Thanks Chris! Laura and I will definitely be back. "
1462311,19667058,2014-09-16,6789167,Erin,"We loved the location of the cottage and the amenities it included.  The cottage is spacious, comfortable and charming.  Chris was a hospitable host!  "
1462311,19930857,2014-09-21,8479488,Amy,"The SoCo Cottages are great! Everything was clean, the cottage has a fun decor, and Chris was very hospitable, providing dinner recommendations. Check in and check out couldn't be easier and the cottages are centrally located within South Austin, so it was a nice walk to SoCO and South Lamar. We would definitely stay here again, hopefully when we are in town for a bit longer. "
1462311,20148724,2014-09-24,20239831,Ren,"Chris was very welcoming and greeted us upon our arrival. He gave us good food recommendations all within walking distance. The location of the cottage was perfect! We were able to just park and walk everywhere we needed to go (off S. Congress and 1st Street). The cottage was cute and cozy, and the bed had a nice memory foam top. Great accommodations and we would definitely stay here again."
1462311,20344194,2014-09-28,811254,Silvano,"We loved our stay in Austin. Chris was a wonderful host who not only made us feel welcome, but helped us find our way to some of the best food and drink in the neighborhood.  The cottage was perfect and we plan on staying here again when we pass back thru.  This was our first airbnb experience, thanks to Chris we are planning on making the service a regular feature in our travels."
1462311,21280742,2014-10-14,18930361,Jenny,Welcoming host & adorable place. You can walk to all of Austin (pretty much) from this location!
1462311,21415659,2014-10-17,17667264,Sam,"Chris' hospitality in Austin was fantastic. His knowledge of where to eat, drink, shop and more was second to none. Add to that lifts to and from the airport (and one across town) and you've got the best possible host you could wish for. "
1462311,21652879,2014-10-21,18116756,Lesli,"This was just the honeymoon experience we were looking for, and staying at the cottage was like being hosted by a friend.  This place has a neat mix of modern and vintage, and is maintained with love; Chris began repainting the outside the day we left.  Can't recommend it enough!"
1462311,21792164,2014-10-24,21808156,Stephen,"Chris was a great host.  Warm, friendly, and helpful.  Great location, fun and funky rental, close to everything and very chill."
1462311,21939486,2014-10-27,17619639,Alia,"We loved our experience at the SoCo Cottage.  The location really was perfect--there's tons of good dining, coffee shops, bars, etc within a few blocks and we didn't need to rent a car to get around the rest of the city between the bus, bikes and uberx. 

Chris is definitely a superhost! He was kind enough to pick us up and drop us off to the airport and gave us a brief tour of the neighborhood with his recommendations.  Really helped us get our bearings and know which direction to venture off.

The photos and description of the cottage are dead on--it's cute and still rustic with lots of space and little amenities (coffeemaker, iron, full kitchen). Chris also left event listings, travel books, coupons etc. and could steer us towards good day trips.  

I definitely think that staying here was the best way to experience Austin.  Staying in a hotel or downtown apartment would have felt so sterile compared to this and we would not have had those local touches.  If we go back to Austin, I would definitely love to stay again."
1462311,22046966,2014-10-28,3181798,Sam,"The So-Co cottage does not disappoint! Looks just as nice in person as in the pictures. The cottage was full of charm and my wife and I loved the interior design. Chris was so nice offering to the pick us up from the airport and to drive us into downtown later that night. He also gave as a quick tour around South congress (where you wanna be) which helped us get a lay of the land. 
AirBNB at its best!
Thanks Chris "
1462311,22352749,2014-11-04,2565395,Andrew,"The cottage and Chris worked out just great for our Austin visit for Formula One weekend.
The accommodation was as described and suited the location of So Co including the goats, dogs and chickens!!
Chris was a great host and provided good support to us as visitors to Austin providing guidance to restaurants and get around Austin advice - thx Chris!!!!"
1462311,22440665,2014-11-06,22955964,Krista,"The SoCo Cottage was everything we expected it to be: conveniently located, filled with character and all the comforts you could ask for. I truly felt that I was staying in the home of a good friend.

Chris greeted us with a level of hospitality that exceeded anything I've experienced.  We received the grand tour and he took the time to answer all of our questions with the knowledge of a true local. 

We would recommend this location to anyone and hope to have the chance to return again ourselves."
1462311,22480284,2014-11-07,568948,Michelle,"Chris is the friendliest, coolest host I've ever had the pleasure of meeting through airbnb. He was extremely hospitable and accommodating - especially considering the last minute arrangements on our end. The place was absolutely adorable and extremely cozy - I would absolutely stay here again! :) Thanks Chris and great job piecing together such a cozy  home! "
1462311,22641480,2014-11-11,5817954,Philip,"Chris was very helpful and the cottage was just what we were looking for. You can walk to any type of food you are in the mood for. 
We had a great time!"
1462311,22765787,2014-11-14,22438781,Rory,"I had a great stay at Chris's SoCo cottage. As the photos show, it's very stylishly decorated in the quintessential Austin funky Texas bohemian style. And it's a phenomenal location, right between S 1st & S Congress in the SoCo section of ATX. And Chris is a phenomenal host -- extremely friendly and actively involved in making sure his guests are optimized for the best possible visit to Austin. He stocks his kitchen with lots of snacks and treats (including asking for special requests before arrival) and providing lots of maps, reviews and guidebooks inside the unit.
The cottage is spacious and comfortable, and it can easily feel like a home away from home, instead of a temporary hotel-alternative. 
However, some key things to flag: during my November stay in Austin, the temperature dropped suddenly from mid-70s to upper-40s -- and that's where the unit struggles as a cottage. There is no insulation in the walls, and so it becomes extremely cold inside as the temps drop outside. Yes, there is an AC/heating window unit in the living room and a (inadequate) space heater in the bedroom, but be prepared to shiver (I slept in 4 layers most nights and still was chilly... and I'm from the Northeast! Also, a space heater inside a wooden cottage screams 'fire hazard' to me.) Also, the Wifi signal can be weak in the cottage (I think the router must be in a separate building on the property?), and the parking behind the cottage can be tricky because of the narrow entrance (I easily parked right in front of the cottage on the street without a problem).
All in all, a great, ""very-Austin"" place to stay, and one I would recommend easily & happily. Thanks for a great visit!"
1462311,22820926,2014-11-15,89,Ian,"This place is fantastic. Chris is one of the best Airbnb hosts and did everything he could and more to make our stay awesome. Completely available and responsive. The place is exactly the perfect location to stay in Austin and the price you get for your own little cottage is really tough to beat. If you need a place and it's available, even for one night like we did jump on this one. "
1462311,23207700,2014-11-25,22051541,Ash,The soco cottage was perfect for our stop in Austin. It couldn't be cuter or in a better location. Surrounded by great shopping and so much good food. Chris was an amazing host and we will be sure to stay here again on our next trip down south. 
1462311,23319667,2014-11-29,5424125,Chad,"Chris's cottage was in a great location right in the heart of all the great places to eat and visit on South Congress.  He graciously gave us a quick driving tour of the place, pointing out all the favorite places to eat and drink.  We loved meeting his goats and his three adorable dogs.

The cottage is nicely decorated and simplistic.  It has everything you need for your stay.  The memory foam mattress bed sleeps well and the old claw foot tub shower was a pleasure to use. We thoroughly enjoyed our Austin stay and would definitely stay here again."
1462311,23393987,2014-11-30,23568373,Andie,"Had a wonderful time in this little cottage! So close to everything you need. Grab dinner at Sway, a taco at Torchy's, and a big fat donut!!! Beautiful location with so much to offer."
1462311,23609859,2014-12-06,5364157,Jen,This place could not be located in a better spot to enjoy Austin! Arriving to Chris' cottage made you feel like visiting a friend as he dropped by to make sure we were comfortable and we had everything we needed. A recommendation for Lenoir for dinner was my favorite part of the trip and he even went ahead and bought a glass of wine for us! We loved playing with his little dogs and the quick walk to Seventh flag and Torchey's for breakfast. It was an absolute pleasure. 
1462311,23861267,2014-12-13,6939527,Matt & Dani,"Chris is a great host and will go above and beyond to ensure his guest have a good time in Austin. After we checked in he took us on a tour and showed us around the city. The cottage is spacious and the bed sleeps two with no problem. The location is 5 stars for sure. It is close enough so you can walk to South Congress and 1st street, which have some of the best restaurants and bars that Austin, has to offer.  His house is stocked with all the necessary amenity’s that a guest would need, including any bathroom supplies you could ask for.  If there is something missing, ask Chris as I stated he will go out of his way to make you feel at home. The complementary drinks in the fridge and free bikes to borrow are a great touch and really make the stay all that much nicer. (I would recommend renting a car as it made getting around much easier.)  As we were ending our stay we commented how much we loved our sheets and Chris gave us a pair to take home! I would highly recommend staying here."
1462311,23955819,2014-12-15,23788232,Susie,"The SoCo Cottage was a unique experience. Exactly what we were looking for. SO much better than staying in a hotel. 

Chris was there to greet us & tell us where its at in Austin. We appreciate all the details that made this weekend getaway extra special. "
1462311,24138086,2014-12-21,11803751,Julien,Chris was a fantastic host! He was always easy to get in contact with and he made sure we had everything we needed. He even gave us a quick tour of Austin so we had a general idea of where things were. The cottage was absolutely wonderful and in such a great location. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to stay!
1462311,24298375,2014-12-25,21231666,Terry,"We loved Chris and the SoCo Cottage.  It was funky, well-appointed, superbly located, and nicely stocked with water, juice, and beer. Chris drove us around and showed us lots of cool Austin places.  He also checked in with us everyday about food and events.  It rocks!  Stay there!"
1462311,24459471,2014-12-29,11347433,Nick And Carla,Austin was a blast and the cottage was more than perfect! The cottage was super close to south congress so it was great ! Thanks Chris for been a great host!

I highly recommend the Cottage, it is exactly as shown,  casual and fun in a great location.  I hope to be back someday."
1462311,25435797,2015-01-16,24087825,Melaney,Chris made me feel super welcome - picked me up from the airport and gave me a quick tour of the South Congress area of Austin.  Home was in a great location - could walk to everything!  Comfortable and eclectic - everything as described.  The bed was literally one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on - great night's sleep.
1462311,25538558,2015-01-19,136705,Anne,"Chris was an AMAZING host!  He not only had a wonderful place to stay but showed us around the area, gave us great recommendations and checked-in on us to ensure our trip to Austin was a blast!  Thanks so much - couldn't have asked for a better host or place to stay - the location was PERFECT - right in the middle of everything!!"

1462311,25792843,2015-01-26,376784,Jerri,"We loved our stay in Austin.  The cottage was decorated just as pictured on the site and, although a little more rustic than expected, was the PERFECT South Congress area location.  The fridge was full of all kinds of beverages, and the house had everything we needed.  Best of all, the owner, Chris, was an amazing host.  He went above and beyond in making us feel welcome.  He greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the area pointing out all the historic and hot spots in the area.  He also left ""Tiny Pies"" for both of us while we were out.  What a sweet surprise!  All his recommendations for restaurants and night life were spot on.  The epitome of southern hospitality!  "
1462311,25877310,2015-01-28,17501639,John,"This place WILL make your Austin trip more memorable.  We had a fantastic time at Chris's cottage and loved every minute.  He's a wonderful host that went above and beyond to make our stay more enjoyable.  It was our first time in Austin and it feels like we know the city so well already.  The cottage is cute and rustic, but so fully loaded with a cool aesthetic as well.  And you get goats and urban chickens in your backyard!  It was a really wonderful time and I'd recommend this as must-stay to anyone looking to go to Austin.  You'll have a better time because of it."
1462311,25972652,2015-01-31,4327190,Stacey,"Chris was an amazing host. LOVED the place/locale, the chickens, the goats and more. I highly recommend staying at his fabulous BnB!"
1462311,26098547,2015-02-03,9167301,Chris,"This is a wonderful cottage, located in a prime area of town. I lived in Austin for 9 years, and coming back here for a weekend made me really nostalgic, as it brought back a flood of memories with the 'Austin charm' of the place. Chris is a wonderful host. The cottage was clean and orderly upon arrival, and he was quick to respond via text if we had any questions. He is a true Austinite and can give you great recommendations on things to do. Speaking of that, there is plenty to do within walking distance (great food, music, shopping on South First and South Congress), and downtown is just a short Uber or bus ride away. But you may not want to leave the cottage itself... it is very relaxing to sit on the patio or back deck with a cold beer, or just hang out with the goats! There are also bikes available to use, cable TV, and a croquet set. Wonderful place, and I will be back on my next Austin visit - if it is not booked already!"
1462311,26295288,2015-02-09,186438,Virginie,"Chris definitely deserves his Superhost medal.

He’s very fast to reply, knowledgeable about Austin – especially when it comes to its gastronomical offerings – helpful and friendly!

He gave us a tour of the city upon arrival and made us feel at home straight away!

The location of the cottage is just perfect – a few minutes walk from South Congress and its many boutiques and restaurants, not to forget LeNoir ((website hidden)), which is just next door. Also the cottage is well equipped and the bed is super comfortable!

The three dogs, two goats and four chickens definitely add character to this already unique and well-decorated place!

Thanks Chris!"
1462311,27042570,2015-02-24,9717870,Tessa,"Chris was great, cottage was great, location was great. We stayed 2 weeks and loved every day. Perfect neighborhood for food and music. Chris gave us a tour and turned us on to local deals. We would absolutely stay here again."
1462311,27188522,2015-02-27,1664565,Andrew,"The rental is great.  Spacious and full of light, and could not be in a more excellent location.  Chris was a communicative, excellent host.  Highly recommended."
1462311,27492080,2015-03-06,14232517,Brian,Awesome space that felt like home instantly. Chris was awesome for picking us up before our scheduled check in time and suggesting things to do. Highly recommended.
1462311,27711673,2015-03-10,2370118,Alison,"This place was a great choice for our Austin exploration. We couldn't have asked for more in a host - Chris was amazing. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, from great food/activity suggestions to a personal neighborhood tour, an airport ride, getting umbrellas for us on the day it rained cats and dogs, and a refrigerator stocked with beverages...we felt very welcomed!  The place had everything we needed and was in a great location, walk-able to anything on the South Congress or 1st street strips, with a small market a couple blocks away and coffee close by. We rode the bikes around town one day - was great to have that option! Definitely would recommend this place to anyone wanting an authentic Austin experience. 

"
1462311,27833116,2015-03-13,19927452,Keri,"What a lovely gem of a place! The bungalow is as pictured and then some. The host has dogs so keep that in mind if you are allergic, but if you love dogs this is a great place. All three are super friendly and sweet. Chris was super helpful in giving us a tour of the town and plenty of restaurant recommendations. The location is superb! It's located between south congress street and first street so it's perfect for travelers without a car. Would definitely book again!"
1462311,28115645,2015-03-18,4245073,Alexandra,"Chris is a wonderful host who from the first moment at the cottage made us feel very welcomed in Austin. His arrival instructions and handover of the cottage are very nice and appreciated! 

We would definitely recommend staying at SoCo Cottage anytime you get a chance to visit Austin. Besides a great property and host the area around is just packed with awesome places to grab a bite, drink or a dinner at one of the best restaurants in town. We can't wait to be back. "
1462311,28459709,2015-03-24,975134,Samantha & Sophia,"We had a wonderful stay at Chris's cottage for SXSW! It was the perfect location - a quick Uber/Lyft ride (or longer walk) to downtown and right in the heart of South Congress, but far enough away from the festival noise to get a good night's sleep. We really appreciated that Chris provided us with a ride to the airport, umbrellas for the rainy days in the middle of the week, and a quick tour of the neighborhood on the day we arrived. We enjoyed chatting with Chris throughout our stay, and also had a great time playing with his friendly dogs! We would definitely love to return here on our next trip to Austin."
1462311,28644954,2015-03-28,25520498,Kali,"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Austin!! Largely due to our authentic experience at the SOCO Cottage! Chris was a fantastic host, with fun-loving animals. We were beyond taken care of during our stay. Whether it was a guided tour around the neighborhood, fabulous food/entertainment recommendations, or the chilled drinks when we got home at night; we would book with Chris again."
1462311,28864907,2015-03-31,25566446,Rebecca,"Chris was great! The house is beautiful and well taken care of, it is in the perfect location to walk (or have a very short drive) to almost everything fun in downtown Austin. My husband and I had a blast, and Chris had some good recommendations for restaurants in the area. We tried Swift's Attic for brunch, which was amazing. We went to Roaring Fork for our big dinner and were definitely not disappointed!  "
1462311,29171439,2015-04-05,6297313,Ellie,"We loved staying at the SoCo Cottage! Perfect location, fun animals in the backyard, proximate to tons of food trucks and everything on South Congress and loved having access to bikes. Thanks Chris! Can't wait to be back!"
1462311,29382682,2015-04-07,25465829,Molly,"This was our first trip to Austin and first time using Air Bnb and it did not disappoint! Chris was super welcoming and helpful. When we got there he gave us a tour of the surrounding area in his car and pointed out lots of fun places to check out. The cottage was adorable and clean. We liked having a little bit of space to spread out in since we were there for 3 days. It was private, and really a little oasis right in the middle of everything. We were a short walk from lots of bars, restaurants, and shops on South Congress and 1st street. The neighborhood is beautiful with lots of cool houses and landscaping and we really enjoyed walking around. Chris had told us we could bring our dog and he had a blast running around with Chris's dogs and checking out the goats and chickens! Chris even walked our dog for us one night when we were out to dinner and gave him a treat! It was kind of rainy and cool when we were there or we would have taken advantage of the bikes Chris has for his guests, a nice perk for sure. If you are headed to Austin definitely stay here!! "
1462311,29598187,2015-04-10,24594969,Kaitlin,Chris was an amazing host! We could not ask for a better experience.  He really made us feel welcome and went the extra mile to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. 
1462311,29657192,2015-04-11,25545742,Wiley,"The location of this wonderful cottage really is amazing.  This was our first time to Austin, Texas and our first AirBNB. Our host, Chris showed us around the area of South Congress Street and it really was a major help for a couple who really was not very sure where to go in Austin, TX.  Parking was a non issue, since there was parking on site but we parked on the street in front since the rental car we had was a boat. In general the area seems very easy to get around where you want to go without any issue. The property itself was very unique, quaint and comfortable.  My fiance loved the goats at the house and the rustic nature of it all. The only downside was that I wish we had time to stay another day so we could truly experience the area and the surroundings.  The host, Chris really seems to have this AirBNB thing down and would highly recommend this place."
1462311,29813718,2015-04-13,25234821,Eben Lee,"Great cottage, great location and great host! We had a fantastic weekend, the cottage was nice and clean and Chris provided everything we needed, we will definitely be back next year for MotoGP 2016 and staying with Chris!"
1462311,29972871,2015-04-15,5148618,Truc,"Chris is as authentic and thoughtful as it gets.  He displays keen attention to detail and has high standards.  These qualities make him a true AirBnB professional host. All the while, he is friendly too.

The cottage had all the amenities we could ever need or want. The place was clean and things worked.  In addition, he's got a good eye and great sense of style.  Staying at this cottage felt like a real getaway. 

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful location.  Shame we couldn't stay at the cottage longer.  I'll be sure to stay here again next time we're in Austin.
  "
1462311,30187984,2015-04-19,7686378,Elaine,"The cottage was charming and just as advertised. Very comfortable, great location, and Chris was a super helpful and attentive host! "
1462311,30674552,2015-04-26,19111287,Anne,This house is great and so is Chris. We will definitely be returning! Thanks for everything! 
1462311,30918023,2015-04-29,18684408,Ritee (Ree-Thee),"Great place, and amazing location! Chris went above and beyond with a fridge stocked with beverages, and he took us on a little tour of the area the moment we got in. He even gave us a much-needed can of mosquito spray. It was perfect!"
1462311,30984736,2015-04-30,7505264,Adam,"Chris was an all around top-notch host, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the SoCo Cottage. The house is clean & comfortable (looks and feels exactly as portrayed in the photos), and provides great access to the heart of the South Congress / 1st Street neighborhood. It's in close proximity to great shops and restaurants (walking distance), but is also on a nice, quiet residential street.  

Chris was easy to communicate with, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful with offering recommendations etc. I would fully recommend the SoCo Cottage and Chris, and would be lucky to have the chance to stay here again my next trip in Austin!"
1462311,31081244,2015-05-01,31979557,Philip,"This cottage is well placed and cozy. My wife, daughter and I were busy with local food fare and Zilker Park/Barton Springs.  Drivers are mindful of bikers, which we will try out next time. Thanks Chris!"
1462311,31158690,2015-05-03,14415863,Ashley,"Chris was so welcoming and an expert on this great town! He gave us amazing food and music recos (not to mention a tour of the city) and the place itself felt instantly like home. And, bonus! It was walking distance to everything from Torchys Tacos to Continental! Couldn't have picked a better host or place to stay in Austin."
1462311,31349211,2015-05-04,1126255,Travis,"The house was just as pictured, it is in a great part of town sandwiched between South Congress and South First.  Easy walking distance to all the South Congress shops and restaurants. Also would recommend just walking through the neighborhood. Chris has some awesome sweet dogs on property and was full of recommendations of what to do. Wine garden at Lenoir was awesome. Overall I would recommend this property. "
1462311,31506874,2015-05-06,3585274,Chris,"Chris' place was everything you could want in an Airbnb. Great location for walking 5-10 minutes to south congress, 20m to downtown. Great space, with a bedroom, living space with tv, kitchen with coffee, basics, & cold drinks stocked, full bathroom, porch, cold Nest AC, and a fun sense of design. Plus, friendly goats and chickens out back. Plenty of info and recommendations about local restaurants & things to do and see. Chris himself was really friendly- he checked in with us to make sure we were having a good time and drove us to the airport when we had to leave. "
1462311,31691941,2015-05-09,25586251,Dan,"The So Co cottage was the perfect place to prepare for and recover from psych fest! Really cool place to stay, awesome location for SoCo and a walk to Downtown. Chris is a great host with unreal local knowledge for the best food spots and places to check out. He took us on tours, bought us beer and lent us his gear. Loved hanging out with the animals too! 
You need to stay here! "
1462311,31810624,2015-05-10,31211597,Mario,"Had a great stay at Chris's airbrb! He was very hospitable and had a very clean, beautiful, and comfortable cottage. Would most certainly return!!"
1462311,31888041,2015-05-11,14383603,Clarice,"Chris was a great host! Always available and willing to help us. We only stayed in the cottage for a night, but we enjoyed it thoroughly. It had everything we needed with lots of Austin flare. The bed was super comfy! I would certainly recommend it for couples and would stay there again if we return to the city."
1462311,32010276,2015-05-12,22179234,Lauriana,"Wonderful time at the SoCo Cottage!! Our arrival was delayed by several hours and Chris was extremely flexible and accommodating. Zero complaints, hated leaved and will definitely stay here next time we're in the area!"
1462311,32158147,2015-05-15,25586251,Dan,"Our 2nd stay was just as good as the first, Chris is a great host and the cottage is awesome! Perfect place for a real Austin experience! "
1462311,32450996,2015-05-18,25436015,Jane,"The cottage was in a great location, a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of South Congress. The cottage itself was super homey and a much better alternative to a hotel room! We loved the goats and chickens in the backyard. Chris was a great host and his tour of the area was super helpful."
1462311,32649127,2015-05-19,26018754,Mike,"Chris was great!  He met me outside and showed me around.  The cottage is as described, but just a little cooler.  Excellent location with tons of options for anything you want within a short walk.

My new favorite place to stay in Austin."
1462311,32744493,2015-05-21,3154399,Eadaoin,"Our stay at the SoCo cottage was perfect, and exactly what we were looking for for our short stay in Austin. Chris goes above and beyond to give his guests an excellent experience and we felt very looked after. From the tour of the area when we arrived to the excellent recommendations and coupons for local restaurants, we could not have asked for more. The location is very convenient, and very safe at night. We visited in May so did not need to take full advantage of the very clever air con sensor, but for a visitor in the height of summer this would be an extra bonus! Thank you Chris for welcoming us so warmly - we can't wait to come back. "
1462311,32882617,2015-05-23,16790554,Susan,"Best welcoming host ever. A tour guide all the way. Informative , friendly guy, extremely hospitable!
Cool retro place, great neighbourhood , with easy access to all the local shops and eateries. "
1462311,33394889,2015-05-27,23114511,Samantha,"We came on the weekend when half of Texas was flooding, so unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy Austin as much as we hoped.  Chris was patient with our late arrival due to the weather and was accommodating once we got there.  He gave us a quick tour of the surrounding area and showed us good places to grab a bite and/or a drink.  The cottage definitely has a quaint, ""Austin"" feel to it.  In terms of location you can't get much better.  South Congress street (which is an easy walk when it it's not pouring) has a ton of places to eat/drink and downtown Austin is like a $7-$10 cab ride depending on where you're going.  "
1462311,33855947,2015-06-01,33861957,Caroline,"The Soco Cottage was perfect for our weekend in Austin! It was a great location and convenient to everything we wanted to see. On top of that, Chris was a great host and gave us several recommendations for what to do in Austin. He made sure we had everything we needed and that our stay in Austin was pleasant. "
1462311,33900745,2015-06-02,18894134,Blake,"We were well greeted and shown around by our host. The kitchen was well stocked, and the cottage adorable. Very enjoyable."

1462311,34521193,2015-06-09,28089956,Samantha,"Great place, great location.  If you're heading to Austin, definitely check out this space.  If you aren't heading you Austin....you probably should.  Walking distance to shops, restaurants, food trucks, and more.  Central Air for the HOT June weather in TX.  Awesome fridge stocked with drinks after a long travel day.  Do your self a favor and stay here!"
1462311,34949194,2015-06-14,4796095,Lauren,"What a perfect spot for my trip to Austin. I was at the cottage for 4 nights, and it felt like a home away from home. Location could not be better!! The host, Chris, is attentive, hospitable, and was there to be of any assistance. Highly recommend."
1462311,35100101,2015-06-15,1129242,Jordan,"This was my second stay at this AirBnB and my third at one of Chris' properties. He is very welcoming and laid back (and always has suggestions in case you aren't familiar with Austin!).

Since our last stay he made some great updates to the place and it's such a great location. "
1462311,35338417,2015-06-17,7693359,Deborah,Chris was great.   This was our second stay.  The updates were great.  We LOVE the location.  The fridge stocked with drinks was appreciated!  Can't wait to return.
1462311,35908858,2015-06-23,22140667,Clint,"Chris was super accommodating, he took us on a great tour throughout Austin upon arrival and showed us more places than we were able to cram into our 6 day stay. The cottage was stocked with everything we needed, including a full stocked fridge. The location is in the best part of town with so many places within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!"
1462311,36136721,2015-06-25,11672197,Katherine,Wonderful time spent in Austin at Chris' spot in SoCo. He was super helpful in getting us checked in late and checked out late- great place for a middle of a roadtrip spot!
1462311,36336044,2015-06-27,3317474,Enriko,"Chris was a very friendly and helpful host.  His place is very cozy and a wonderful home away from home. The cottage is conveniently located to all the hot spots on 1st St and SOCO, and the neighborhood had a very cool vibe and felt very safe.   "
1462311,36666146,2015-06-30,30801919,Brooke,"Chris was an absolutely wonderful host. He picked us up and gave us a lovely tour of Downtown Austin, Rainy Street, and SoCo, pointing out everything there was to offer. The house itself was even more perfect than it is in the pictures. It was impeccably clean and we had access to a fully stocked drink fridge. Chris had a ton of great coupons and deals for local eateries and his guest book was full of previous travelers' suggestions too. We had such a wonderful trip and cannot wait to come back this winter!"
1462311,36959691,2015-07-03,33050446,Rick,"Chris was the perfect host for our stay in Austin, TX.  On our arrival he took us on a guided tour of central Austin, offering suggestions as to places to eat, shop and play. 
The cottage was clean and simple, yet whimsical. 
We'd stay there again, if we're ever back in Austin. "
1462311,37297569,2015-07-06,1386573,Jamie,"Chris was a great host, the tour of Austin he provided was a great way for us to get oriented.

The accommodations were great, as advertised and the bed was very comfortable!"
1462311,37589591,2015-07-08,35068868,Kate,"Made my first trip to Austin one to remember! The cottage has rustic appeal and is the perfect amount of space for two! Great location to downtown and Congress, and yet in a low key neighborhood. Highly recommended."
1462311,38020122,2015-07-12,35227828,Christine,"Loved my stay at Chris's SoCo Cottage. He was very attentive with directions and places to go. He even made a special trip to get us a travel map since we were going to Marfa and a GPS would not function in remote areas. The bed was very comfortable and the stash of sodas and fruit drinks was very welcoming. I loved the decorations.  The dogs were very beautiful, loving animals. It was an overall perfect first stop on our trip through the South West. Chris respected our privacy and I felt very safe there. I was traveling with my adult daughter and this was the perfect place for her to decompress. Thank you, chris"
1462311,38247773,2015-07-14,20427852,Mina,"There is only one word necessary to describe our experience staying with Chris: AMAZING! He picked us up from the airport, showed us around town and even dropped us off at the bus station on our departure day. He was very kind and thoughtful and made sure we had everything we needed. We used the free bikes every day and that was a great way to see the city. The cottage is located in a very nice neighbourhood 3 min from South Congress Ave and 1 min from S 1st St. In both these places you can find cute shops, great restaurants and food trucks. And the cottage is very nice and clean with supercool interior. We loved everything about this place (especially all the animals) and would love to visit again. Thank you so much, Chris! "
1462311,38537180,2015-07-16,29714211,Candace,"What a wonderful first Airbnb experience! Chris was a gracious host and the soco cottage was great. It was clean, well decorated and comfortable.  I felt safe the entire time.  The location was perfect for all of the things we wanted to do.  It is within walking distance of food trucks, restaraunts and South Congress shopping.  Barton Springs and other park areas are just a short drive away.  I can't forget to mention all of the furry friends as well.  The goats were my favorite! :)"
1462311,39004237,2015-07-20,4927468,Elizabeth,The listing is as shown. It is very cute and unique. The location is perfect. We walked (and occasionally ubered) everywhere during our stay. Chris was very welcoming and had great suggestions on where to eat. We loved Sway! He even gave us a quick tour around the area in his car upon arrival.  I would definitely recommend.
1462311,39231991,2015-07-21,15878962,Lindsey,"Awesome space close to shopping and restaurants. Comfortable bed, immaculately clean, nicely decorated and well furnished/stocked. House represents true Austin flavor/vibe. Outside area is also sweet; there are two friendly penned goats and some free range chickens. (Also very clean, well maintained)  Chris was a fabulous host who was very responsive and full of information about everything Austin and the Hill country in general. He is a cool guy who obviously pays attention to detail. Would definitely recommend and cannot wait to return."
1462311,39323165,2015-07-22,5537905,Chris,"Teh SoCo cottage was a ton of fun to stay in. What you see in the pictures is pretty much what you get, no surprises. Super cool and quaint. Chris was really welcoming and recommended a place to go inner tubing and a great BBQ spot down the street, we loved both. We would definitely stay here again/ "
1462311,39441579,2015-07-23,38136507,Samantha,"Chris and the SoCo cottage were both AMAZING!! Chris picked us up from the airport and gave us a great little tour around Austin giving us some awesome ideas on places we'd like to visit while we were there. The cottage was on this cute street close to SoCo and 1st street so there was plenty to do! I plan on visiting Austin a lot more and this will be the first place I will be checking for availability each time! Thank you Chris for helping make my first trip to Austin one to remember, hope to see you soon!"
1462311,39609733,2015-07-25,9839918,Michael,"Chris has earned the title ""super host"". This place is amazing. Perfect location between the best food/drink places on 1st and south congress. The apartment is rustic chic and feels like Austin in the best way. Chris room is on a quick 5 minute tour around the area to get a lay of the land. Clean apartment, nice host, amazing location. Can't wait to visit again."
1462311,39962478,2015-07-27,13375545,Sarah,"Things that were awesome about this rental:

a) the host, Chris, makes things super simple and chill -- from making the reservation to day of departure (and even making sure you get that cellphone charger you forgot!)
b) as everyone says, Chris takes time to help you get oriented to the awesome neighborhood and gives a run down of best restaurants and shops within walking distance (PS, too hot to walk? Parking around the area is easy even on busy days!)
c) the place is perfectly cute and quaint but roomy enough to really relax and unwind Austin-style

Loved it and will definitely call it home base for another Austin trip in the future!"
1462311,40361484,2015-07-30,2758772,Wendy,"This space was unique, comfortable, and fun!  Excellent location and wonderful host.  Chris knows how to make his guests feel welcome, and is able give you recommendations for anything you are looking for.  He has created a country feel in his yard in a very urban area.  100% recommended.  We will be back for sure!"
1462311,40739498,2015-08-02,34069900,Deirdre,"Husband and I had a great time. The cottage is a quiet retreat in the middle of the SoCo neighborhood. Comfy bed, well stocked drink fridge, adorable goats and chickens. Chris was very friendly and gave us lots of recommendations in the area. I would absolutely stay here again."
1462311,40910895,2015-08-03,32616919,Elizabeth,"Our stay was comfortable and pleasant.  The neighborhood was fantastic - we were in the middle of everything - right where we wanted to be.  The bed was comfortable and the drinks were cold!  It was great to have parking available, and turned out to be a good thing as spaces around us filled up.  Chris was great with restaurant recommendations and a offer of a tour."
1462311,41518780,2015-08-07,19469745,Kyley,Chris was a welcoming and very knowledgable host. He gave a great tour of the property and was an invaluable resource when it came to cool places to spend time in Austin. The cottage was decorated adorably and had every amenity I could ever have wanted. I can't wait to stay again!
1462311,41684724,2015-08-08,38476923,Cheryl,Loved this place.  Very cute very Texas!  Fantastic location and Chris was an excellent host.  My arrival time kept creeping later but he was more than willing to work with me.  If you like South Congress you will love this house.   Just wish I had more time to relax and enjoy the property. 
1462311,41780598,2015-08-09,12908874,Eleanor,"The listing description is totally accurate- it's an awesome house in an AMAZING location!! Chris was beyond helpful with helping us park my overloaded car and talking to us about the neighborhood.

There are really cute goats in the back! So glad we stayed here :)"
1462311,41986250,2015-08-10,2857747,Destiny,"Chris's cottage was just as depicted.  My best friend from college and I had a great girls' weekend get-away.  I was surprised when I got to the cottage that it was only a block from where I usually park when I visit SoCo; so if that tells you anything, it's that his location is super convenient.  The goats in the back yard along with the chickens, and the cute bungalow style of the house, offer a cool Bohemian visit that is unexpected from the road.

Chris was very helpful in offering tips about Austin.  I used to live there and am quite familiar, so instead he told me about the history of SoCo which I was surprised to learn some interesting facts!  

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!  Will be back if I plan to visit Austin."
1462311,42233022,2015-08-11,39557447,Cynthia,"Thanks Chris! Although I wasn't there long, I definitely felt welcome and enjoyed my stay at the SoCo Cottage.  Nice and relaxing cottage right near tons of great Austin spots. I definitely recommend staying here!"
1462311,42423857,2015-08-13,37522510,Andrew,"Chris, the cottage, and all the animals made our Austin experience top notch. Chris even gave us a quick driving tour of the area upon our arrival that really helped us orient ourselves. The cottage itself was clean and beautiful, exactly as you see in the pictures. We hope to stay here again someday. "
1462311,42737002,2015-08-15,6645888,Ike,Great house and Chris was a great host!  Walkable to a lot of great things in Austin and a comfortable fun place to stay. Definitely would go again and recommend to anyone.
1462311,43093189,2015-08-17,38401037,Mathis,The location was great and central to a lot of the best places in Austin. The house and lot was well kept and had a great amount of character. Awesome place to stay.
1462311,43432440,2015-08-19,20876017,Melissa,Chris was great! Everything went smoothly and he gave us a nice tour. The cottage is very charming and close to everything. I loved the coca cola fridge filled with cokes and water. Nice touch. The claw foot tub and the 3 patio/porches were my favorite relaxation spots. Highly recommended and we will be back!
1462311,43640022,2015-08-21,32221441,Matthew,"The SoCo Cottage is in a great location. Chris is knowledgable about the area - he even gave us a quick tour when we first got there. He was a thoughtful host - aside from the usual toiletries, he had sunscreen, umbrellas, etc for us to use. Also, the bed and the chairs were very comfortable! "
1462311,44135101,2015-08-24,37375201,Toma,"Great place, near amenities and night life. "
1462311,44587657,2015-08-27,7773757,Pippa,"Friendly and communicative host. He even gave us a 10- minute tour of Austin in his car! Well- equipped home with comfy bed and Nest. Incredible location. We walked to South Congress from the house and it took us less than five minutes. The only thing that surprised me was the presence of goats in the backyard. I was initially worried that they would be noisy, but had no trouble whatsoever during our stay. I think they actually added to the uniquely Austin charm. The location of the house was amazing, I have to emphasise. Close to so many best eateries of the town (Sway, Hopdoddy etc etc.)"
1462311,44766913,2015-08-29,22634134,Antoinette,"This was our first time using AirBnB and we really enjoyed it. After spending 3 nights in hotels, it was great to have our own space and privacy. The house is great, very old, and the location amazing. My husband is a Texas native and very familiar with Austin, also we were visiting friends so the tour and information wasn't perhaps necessary for us but is a really nice touch for those not familiar with the city or area.
The only advice I would give is making it clearer that there are 3 dogs on the property for people who are allergic and/or afraid of dogs. My husband and I love dogs but I know people who are uncomfortable with excited dogs.
Thanks Chris!

1462311,45122138,2015-08-31,10595093,Michelle,Had a great time in Austin and Chris was a great host... and the house was just perfect! We will definitely be seeing you again next time we're in town. 
1462311,45260396,2015-09-01,33370042,Hannah,"This was our first airbnb experience, and Chris was a fantastic host. The SoCo cottage was exactly as pictured, and thanks to Chris's tour and recommendations for the SoCo area we had a great day trip and loved our stay! Would recommend to anyone planning a trip here.

Definitely went above and and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stayed. The apartment itself was wonderful and as described. Was just what my fiance and I needed during our recent stay. Location is great, lots of places to eat/coffee shops/etc. nearby on first and south congress. Would definitely recommend this place while you stay in Austin!"
1462311,46456131,2015-09-10,43626997,Jimmy,"Chris was great! Met me exactly when he said he was going to even though I arrived late. The place was very well laid out - perfect for an overnight business stay in Austin. Close to lots of really good dining options, all within walking distance. "
1462311,46872607,2015-09-14,6049518,Brittney,"The SoCo Cottage was exactly what we needed! Perfect location, The decor, was great, Goats extra friendly, and Chris was right on point with advice on where to eat. Best Air BnB that we've stayed at in Austin, embodying everything you would expect from the city. Thanks for the amazing get away!
 "
1462311,47648202,2015-09-21,27292219,Estefania,"Loved my stay at the cottage! I didn't want to leave! So conveniently located close to S 1st St and S Congress with so much to do nearby. Chris gave great recommendations for restaurants in the area. The cottage is comfortable and so much fun, every corner is full of personality much like Austin itself. There's bikes available in the back along with Chris' pets (3 dogs, 2 goats and chickens). They are the cutest ever and friendly too. My pup had a great time here. Chris is such a gracious host, always checking in to make sure all needs are met. Thank you so much! Will definitely be back. "
1462311,47676506,2015-09-21,26417292,Sarah,"I had a wonderful time in Austin staying at Chris' SoCo cottage. It was very charming, in the perfect location, clean, spacious, and the bed was super comfortable! I look forward to staying here again in the future. "
1462311,48058983,2015-09-23,28720332,Bridgid,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights. Chris was a fantastic host. He walked us around the grounds and gave us information about the locks, tv, etc. He also drove us around the area to show us restaurants and bars that we should check out. His recommendations were awesome. When I had a question, I was able to text him and he responded promptly. The cottage was absolutely adorable and cozy. It was clean and served us well. There were cute touches throughout and Chris made us feel welcome. We will absolutely return to Austin and would love to stay here again."
1462311,48423576,2015-09-26,27422867,Jacquie,Chris was extremely welcoming. His knowledge of the area was very helpful and his tour gave us a better look at the area-better than we could have imagined. The property and cottage are amazing and just like the pictures. His animal family is lovely and we enjoyed them each day. We appreciated his attentiveness and his quick responses to our calls/texts/emails. Highly recommend!
1462311,48708378,2015-09-28,40054063,Chris,Chris welcomed us and showed us around the house.  Everything is clean and as shown in the pictures.  Covered parking is provided at the rear of the house.  The cottage is well supplied with drinks and toiletries.  The cottage is secure and close to South Congress and 1st Street.
1462311,48989624,2015-09-30,36052263,Regina,"Chris was a very welcoming host, he made contact with us before our arrival to make sure he/ we had everything in order. Chris's home was above and beyond our expectations, clean, stocked and comfortable. Chris gave us a quick tour of the homes ins and outs upon our arrival and then gave us a tour of the neighborhood. The neighborhood had every type of restaurant, lots of shopping and unique local landmarks. We had a pleasant time riding the provided bikes and touring around downtown Austin. We will definitely come back when we visit Austin again. Thanks"
1462311,49205499,2015-10-02,34200999,Genevieve,"Our stay at the SOCO cottage was exactly as we had hoped it would be!  It was our first AIRBNB experience so we weren't exactly sure what to expect. Chris was a fabulous host, meeting us to show us around the cottage and even took us on a  mini-tour of the area.  He went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed--and that we were enjoying ourselves. The cottage itself was adorable, funky, and comfortable.  The surrounding property and neighborhood were quiet and extremely convenient to the SOCO shops and restaurants.  We would absolutely stay here again!  100 percent recommended."
1462311,49761169,2015-10-06,32910320,Shannan,"Chris' home was better in person even with the great photos of the place. He kept is very clean and even stocked the fridge with a few beverages. He was so kind and very helpful without being intrusive. He went above and beyond as a host. He drove my group to and from ACL everyday. WHAT?!? How awesome is that! Chris is a great host and guy! I will book his place whenever I am back in Austin! Thank you for a great experience Chris!!

The location could not be better! Close to everything cool in Austin and not so close that guests find parking a nightmare. The neighborhood was quiet and you felt very safe at the SoCo Cottage. He has another house on the property and you never knew other guests were there. "
1462311,50077084,2015-10-09,21230575,Molly,Great spot right in the heart of Soco. ...loved our time in Austin!
1462311,50184954,2015-10-10,23942389,Lynzi,"Chris was great - the location perfect for food, chilling and all within walking distance.  Loved the eclectic area and the Cottage is gorgeous and really comfortable .. only wish we could have stayed longer - make business travel really appealing.  Would love to stay again when we come back to Austin."
1462311,51007455,2015-10-17,11464674,Amy,"Chris made me feel welcome and comfortable from booking through checkout. He was responsive with questions leading up to the booking, accepted my request immediately, followed up prior to check-in, accommodated me arriving later than the scheduled time, and even let me borrow an air mattress when my brother and parents were passing through for a night. Plus... he's just fun to chit chat with when crossing paths. The house itself was cute, comfortable and stocked with everything I needed! Also, the bed!! Comfy and dreamy! The location was great and the surrounding bars, shopping and restaurants were a perfect addition to my week. I would definitely want to stay here on my next trip back!"
1462311,52818869,2015-11-02,37958191,Merci,"Fantastic stay in Austin. Great location, walking distance to SOCO and plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and live music venues. Chris was so welcoming from the beginning, going above and beyond. The cottage is exactly like it is represented in pics and extremely comfortable. Chris even had chocolate and wine awaiting us! Would highly recommend."
1462311,53128781,2015-11-05,46420123,Kelly,"Great location and nice house. Chris showed us all around and was great about recommending places to eat and stuff to do. We were easily able to walk to South Congress and 1st street from the house and the street is very quiet at night. Overall, great stay."
1462311,53244195,2015-11-07,22440297,Heather,"Prior to going on this trip, we had only stayed with really hands-off hosts. So we were a little surprised when Chris welcomed us as soon as we stepped out of our uber, introduced us to his dogs and goats, and gave us a tour of the neighborhood. It made a huge difference! We felt at home right away and knew how to get the the many awesome shops and restaurants within walking distance. The place was clean, comfy, and captured that quirky Austin vibe. It had everything we needed from umbrellas to sunscreen to wine. He is a super host for a reason!!"
918204,10845643,2014-03-10,12025407,Kimberly,"Myself and two co-workers rented this house for the first weekend of SXSW, and it was a fantastic experience. Easy check-in and check-out, and the landlord was very responsive to our every need. Getting downtown, and just about anywhere in central Austin, was a breeze from this neighborhood with easy access to Lamar, S. 1st, and Ben White. Overall a fantastic experience and I wouldn't hesitate to rent this property again on my next trip to Austin."
918204,11074874,2014-03-19,11418376,Jimi,Laura's place was perfect for our groups stay during SXSW. Thanks again for having us Laura!!
918204,11365189,2014-03-31,8585694,Thomas,"This was my second experience with an airbnb rental and I have to say that it was amazing. The house clean, convenient, close to shops and restaurants. My family and enjoyed the out and would rent it again."
918204,11798574,2014-04-15,4666870,Linsey,"Laura's little home was perfect for our stay! We had a group of people and keeping them all together in the same place helped with carpooling and hanging out. The rooms and decoration were comfortable and chic and it was all set up for coffee & tea and kitchen type things. It was a great space and we would be happy to stay here again. 
"
918204,12217368,2014-04-26,13693106,Anand,The reservation was canceled 188 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
918204,12331503,2014-04-29,12111821,Susan,Great price for a three bedroom duplex! Great green neighborhood. 
918204,12896754,2014-05-13,7763948,Julian,The house was great. Easily drivable or bikeable to most other areas. It was clean and comfortable. The five of us really enjoyed our stay.
918204,13832949,2014-06-05,8004409,Sherry,"Laura's place was perfect for a quick getaway.  We had more than enough room for 3 adults and a baby.  The place was clean with plenty of towels, blankets, utensils, bowls, and cups for use during our stay.  The shower head was strong (love that) and the AC can cool the house quickly and nicely (a true perk in this Texas heat).  There is no washer/dryer, microwave, or tv.  We didn't mind since we only stayed a couple of nights.  Laura is super responsive!  The neighbors had parked in our driveway so we didn't have parking upon arrival.  I called and texted and within 10 minutes, the neighbors moved their car.  She's a great host!  Would stay again - it's clean, comfortable, great location, and plenty of room for a family.  
"
918204,14830150,2014-06-27,1756082,Charlotte,"A great place, good location. As advertised. Three nice bedrooms. There were 4 adults and 2 children and we were comfortable. We would stay there again.There is wifi but no TV is supplied."
918204,16198120,2014-07-23,73211,Jennice,"My friends and I enjoyed our stay in Laura's house. I found the house to be exactly as described on a really cute tree lined street. I found the amenities to be as described and it was a short drive downtown and to other touristy areas. There were also several grocery stores and 24 hour drugstore chains nearby in case I needed anything. Check-in was a breeze and although we had few hiccups during our stay, I found Laura to be very accommodating and eager to help remedy the problems. I found the house suited my needs and I had a good experience."
918204,16605094,2014-07-30,14328339,Nikole,"My family and I stayed at this location for a week.  Laura the host was very nice, and always available if you needed to contact her.  The location was perfect!  One minor problem we did in counter was they are currently building an apartment complex across the street which made getting to the drive way or finding parking a little difficult from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.  But the construction crews were very accommodating and would do all they could to help you or work with you.  Thanks for an amazing place to stay.  We will definitely stay here again when in Austin."
918204,16837446,2014-08-03,16290941,Lisa,"After driving for 8hrs, and very fatigued, we arrived at the location to find the AC turned up to 80 degrees in the month of August. It was very hot and humid that day! After turning the AC down, it would not lower temp due to a insufficient cooling system. Contacted host, she apologized and said she would ""go ahead refund the first day"", and if it continued not to cool she would issue a full refund if we wanted to make other accommodations. In the early hours of the morning it managed to cool down to 73 degrees. During the day time it held ~78-79 degrees at best which was uncomfortable. We didn't have time to pack up and look for another place due to a very limited time schedule and decided to tough it out. Furthermore, in addition to insufficient cooling, the old house had a terrible musky smell, in which we purchased spray air freshener in attempt to mask the smell. We never received a refund for the first day, and after attempting to contact the host, she has not replied back. 
Imagine driving for 8hrs and arriving to a hot and humid house where you can't even get comfortable enough to catch a quick nap! 
Also, sweating profusely after a shower! A nice cup of hot coffee was definitely out of question! "
918204,17054618,2014-08-06,17411879,Holly,"I rented out this house for my husband 30th birthday. I surprised him with out of town guests and we all stayed in this cute house. The decor was nice and I loved that we all fit in this three bedroom place comfortably. 
The pictures matched the listing well. I wish there was a little more kitchen supplies but all plates silverware and cups were there. We enjoyed the coffee and the fact there was no tv. 
The place could have been a little more stocked with basic supplies for us 7 people. 
The host Laura was GREAT! She is so nice and easy to get a hold of for any reason. "
918204,17277128,2014-08-10,4071562,Karen,"This was a great venue for us to stay while for our niece's wedding.  The house was quiet, comfortable and cool (essential for August in Austin!).  It was close to Lamar and within easy reach of downtown and Barton Springs - a great location!  Laura was gracious and helpful, and we were happy with our visit."
918204,19201997,2014-09-08,18489545,Larry,Our host made us feel very welcome.  
918204,19536154,2014-09-14,19528022,Brian,Laura was a great communicator and went above & beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable! I would recommend her place & definitely stay there again next time I'm in Austin. And thanks for the entertainment suggestions (plenty of great spots close by)!
918204,19908241,2014-09-20,2472778,Steph,"Laura was great to deal with, aside from a little difficulty getting onto her at check in time. The place is fantastic and close to everything we needed. As others have mentioned there's no TV as mentioned in the listing, and no washer and dryer. 

The AC and wifi worked fantastically and the kitchen had everything we could want. Great value as a 3br and we loved our time in Austin."
918204,19975265,2014-09-21,3615631,Tarah,"This space was perfect! Close to everything and easy to find. Beds were comfy and she turned the AC down before our arrival for a nice, cool welcome in from the Austin heat! 
It was super clean and there were plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Laura was also very responsive to any communication (not that much was needed as her directions were spot on!)
If you and a few friends are headed to Austin for any reason, I totally recommend her place."
918204,20276662,2014-09-27,15562015,Simon,"Left pretty much to ourselves which was appreciated due to the odd hours we were keeping.

The neighbourhood was nice, lots of friendly locals, and the accommodation was ideal for our needs."
918204,20528069,2014-09-30,18737609,Natalia,"My family and I loved staying at this side of Austin, it was really centrical to every place, downtown, life, restaurants, local business, etc. The neighborhood is really tranquil and beautiful, so typicall, we loved that it was like being at a movie, with all those little beautiful houses and all the trees. The appt was really clean, very well decorated, simple yet beautiful, functional. Every rule was clear, and the host Laura, was very practical, and she answered as soon as I had a doubt. The whole stay here was really enjoyable. We now want to do this with aribnb all the time we travel! Thankyou Laura!"
918204,20932059,2014-10-07,8324747,Ryan,Laura was very responsive and easy to work.  The house was as described and very comfortable.  Only a few miles from 6th street and Zilker park.  I would definitely recommend and stay there again. 
918204,21106244,2014-10-11,3588829,Chris And Brianne,The house was clean and check in/out was easy with ample printed instructions on the fridge. If you are planning on hitting downtown for business or pleasure or have to get to the University we found UberX to be the most efficient from this location for about $15~20 each way. Its not walkable to these areas. Airport taxi was a 15 min ride and will run about $30. Just plan on making alot of friends on uber if you don't rent a car.
918204,21982573,2014-10-27,11608698,Karen,"We found Laura's house to be very clean and comfortable.  It isn't too far from most things and uber made it easy to get around as we didn't have a car.  It is on a fairly busy street and I am a light sleeper so that was somewhat a problem, but the back bedroom was very quiet.  "
918204,22190330,2014-11-01,3483360,Tayler,"We had a great stay at Laura's house. It's very comfy and directed nicely. There were plenty of sheets, pillows & towels. There is only 1 shower so if you do have a lot of people you will have to coordinate pretty well. "
918204,22575766,2014-11-10,5290756,Rachel,The place worked well for the two of us - all the amenities we needed and easy to access with the door's security code (instead of needing a key). The only challenge was the street noise but we were so tired from our Austin adventures that it was not a big distraction. Overall the place was clean and hospitable.
918204,23152657,2014-11-24,16220862,Kasi,"Laura was an excellent host. I sent her dozens of emails asking questions about the area, things to do, etc. She responded promptly and made very good suggestions. The house was very cute and comfy. We fit 8 people in there comfortably. It was a nice area away from the downtown Austin traffic, but still close to a variety of restaurants and stores.  We loved our stay in Austin!"
918204,23318641,2014-11-29,13712960,Beth,"Great location, great house, great host! Laura was very nice when I spoke with her on the phone and the keyless entry was so convenient.  We stayed here the week of a family wedding - it was a great home base. Neighbors were nice too :)"
918204,24357810,2014-12-27,21740190,Danny,Laura sent us several messages and let us enjoy her place for four nights. It's in a great neighborhood and is exactly as described. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat!
918204,24828481,2015-01-03,22588409,Donna,"Laura responded promptly to our request. Her home is modest but clean and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The setting is in an urban neighborhood and the home is part of a duplex. The location was in very close proximity to South Congress, Zilker Park neighborhood and downtown. Our Uber ride to downtown cost only $13 on New Year's Eve. Thanks Laura."
918204,25584960,2015-01-19,2237244,Cindy,I picked this place because of the keyless entry.  I liked the location but there was some construction going on accross the street that was very annoying on Friday but they were gone by the weekend.  There wasn't any tv which was disappointing.  I would have never stayed here if her profile was updated.  Hopefully that is fixed by now.
918204,26870285,2015-02-21,20237059,Jason,"Laura was a great Host available for to answer any questions, the location and accuracy of her listing also top notch,  the Neighborhood was quite and peaceful and really close to some great restaurants and bars. "
918204,27013352,2015-02-23,27129888,Jessica,Laura was quick to respond through text and through the phone once we booked her place. Whenever I had a question she was right there to answer them. The keyless door lock was super since we were with a group of seven people we did not have to worry about playing hot potato with a key. The bedrooms were a good size and accommodated all of us. It was clean and well stocked with towels and extra sheets for us. Overall the experience was great!
918204,27314035,2015-03-02,10774529,Anthony,"Nice quaint place, as described. "
918204,27559647,2015-03-07,27211875,Xiomara,"Nice house, nice área just that Mrs Laura needs to put Tv."
918204,27657636,2015-03-09,26500202,Lindsy,We loved our stay at the Heart of Austin! The place was equipped with everything we needed and offered plenty of space and comfort. We rented it for the weekend for a bachelorette party and it comfortably housed all 8 of us! It was cute and looked just like the pictures. Very pleased! 
918204,28806287,2015-03-30,19055971,Rich,"This property is half of a modest duplex in a hilly, bosky neighborhood, located at a three way stop (residential, but fairly busy), about six blocks from Highway 71 (which one hears with the windows closed). It's a good location from which to explore town by car (or Uber, etc)---Zilker Park, Lamar, Soco. Beds were comfortable, shower decent, kitchen (which we hardly used) adequate. We appreciated the keyless entry, wifi, and off-street parking. We did have one hiccup. We arrived Friday night on our way to a wedding in Buda, and wanted to clean up and change clothes, only to discover that the property had not been cleaned from the previous guests. Laura arranged for cleaning while we were at the wedding, but we did not hear from her again. "
918204,29047012,2015-04-03,28030962,Beth,"The owner was responsive and accommodating. The neighborhood is tree-filled and hilly. It is growing, with new builds and renovations, but we were not bothered by any construction noise; there wasn't much."
918204,29426016,2015-04-07,27567092,Hyosun,"Laura was a wonderful host, sending an email a couple days before check-in to access the apartment.  Plenty of towels available, a very small tv, instructions about check-out posted on the refrigerator, washer/dryer available, vacuum provided.  Overall a pleasant experience.  Only 10 minutes by car to Downtown Austin where Driskell Hotel is located.  "
918204,29967039,2015-04-15,26592413,Greg,Comfortable and cozy accommodation. There were 6 in our party.
918204,30437291,2015-04-22,20401624,Sean,"Great friendly host, she was very helpful and accommodating.
The house is a perfect central location close driving distance to everywhere from the airport to SOCO. Very easy to find and the house has everything you need. Very comfortable spot, this was my first Airbnb experience and I will NEVER stay at a hotel again. I loved everything about Austin and this great little place we called home for 5days. "
918204,30769817,2015-04-27,28163384,Savannah,"Laura was very laid-back and quite responsive when I had questions before our arrival.  She had great recommendations, and the property was comfortable and adorable."
918204,31954024,2015-05-12,842128,Kelsey,"Laura was a wonderful host and her place was perfect for what we needed. It's rare to find an Airbnb with actual beds to sleep all the guests. Accurately described, beautifully decorated and very clean. The keyless entry was really helpful, too!"
918204,33347966,2015-05-27,4605837,Dobi & Jill,"My fiance and I booked this listing for some of our family to stay while they were in Austin for our wedding. The place was a bit disappointing and didn't really live up to the pictures. From the listing and pictures, we thought it was a house, but it is actually a duplex. Inside it is a bit more shabby than the pictures indicate. There were random, half-eaten food items in the cabinets and no trash bags for the tiny kitchen trashcan. The lightbulb in one lamp was burnt out and we couldn't find any spares. Also, the air conditioning wasn't working when we checked in and after calling Laura, she did have someone come out the next day to fix it, however by our last day it was already not working again. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this listing and won't be having family stay here when they visit again."
918204,34479159,2015-06-08,809922,Anna,"My family had a very nice stay in Laura's cute south Austin home. The space was as described. Check in and check out were easy and convenient. The house was a quick drive to downtown Austin, South congress, and the Eastside. I would definitely recommend a stay here when visiting Austin. "
918204,34900026,2015-06-13,30488089,Adriana,"Easy check-in instructions. Very neat and comfortable for 5 of us.
Place is exactly like in the pictures.  Close to tourist attractions.
Will definitely stay here again.
 "
918204,35349636,2015-06-17,14467826,Katy,"Good location for fun times in south Austin!  Small house, but we fit 4 adults and 2 kiddos easily.  Not much space for hanging out and the TV is very tiny, but if you're visiting Austin, you're not coming to stay inside and watch tv!"
918204,35842067,2015-06-22,30387290,Czarina,"I rented this house for a family getaway. It was smaller than I anticipated but everyone had a bed and slept comfortably. The house is tucked away from the major roads and they finished the construction to the house in front so there weren't any noise disturbances. The TV is very small, which some of my guests weren't too happy with. Everything in the house works, especially the AC. In fact, we had to turn in up because it was so cold at night. I really liked the keyless entry. Definitely an advantage to not have a key to deal with. Laura was very nice and easy to reach. Thank you!"
918204,36343145,2015-06-27,35006204,Jessica,"Laura was super available via text and was flexible with our last minute reservation. She has a wonderful key-code system which is helpful when traveling with multiple people (no need to key swap) and when getting in late, as we did. The area is very close driving distance to all great spots in Austin. Thanks Laura! "
918204,36541392,2015-06-29,23788386,Caitlin,"The house was a perfect location for great restaurants and bars, as well as Lady Bird Lake and Barton Springs. It had everything we needed for a weekend stay. Would certainly consider staying again!"
918204,37308460,2015-07-06,32048707,Morgan,Such a cute house! Everything was very clean when we arrived ( I'm very picky about this). Wouldn't recommend a sit down meal with 8 people AT the house ( not much room for everyone to sit and eat) but when you are in Austin around tons of good food you- you are going to go out to eat anyways! Laura was so helpful and responded quickly to anything I asked! Would definitely recommend staying here - we will be back! Thanks! 
918204,37697418,2015-07-09,9898522,Sarah,"My family and I stayed here for a few nights, and Laura's place fit us (family of 5) perfectly. Location was 5-10 minutes from major places such as SoCo, Zilker Park, 6th street, and all the great Austin food, and the home itself is located in a quiet area, but also close enough to the highway for fast travel. As others have said, the keycode to get in is *so* much better than having an actual key.

Furthermore, Laura was VERY fast at responding to any concerns or questions that we had, and also very accommodating to our needs. She has clear and easy instructions posted for guests, easy to understand rules, even pamphlets when you walk in so you have an idea of what to do when you're in the city! She has a very clean home, organized, and maintained 

The home is cozy, the T.V. and dining table a wee bit small, but if you're visiting Austin, why would you eat in or watch T.V.? 

Overall, a great experience for my family, we definitely would book again whenever we come back to Austin. And thanks again for hosting us! We really enjoyed ourselves in Austin!"
918204,38210014,2015-07-13,16064797,PhiPhi,"I rented Laura's home for a weekend trip with my group of friends (5 people in total including myself.) The house was well equipped and clean like pictured. The location was convenient, average 15 min. to all the spots we wanted to visit including Mount Bonnell, State Capitol, Downtown, 6th street, etc. 
We didn't get to meet Laura but she was friendly and all communication was via email or text messages. It was a keyless entrance to the house which made it convenient to check in and out. We asked to extend our check out time to 1pm instead of 11am and it was $50 extra which was fine with us.
Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would stay again.

Phi"
918204,38530756,2015-07-16,34596377,Michelle,"We did not get to meet Laura, but her sister lives next door and she welcomed us and invited us to let her know if we needed anything.  Was cute, cozy, clean, beds in BR's very comfortable but hideabed couch not so much!   Fits 6 comfortably.   Everything we needed was there, towels, soap, TP, (website hidden) needs to be upgraded, very small (19in?).  Was GREAT location for proximity to DT, UT, Barton Springs, Airport.  We would for sure stay there again!   "
918204,39190783,2015-07-21,27535615,Joana,The house was just enough space for 4 adults and two kids.  Nice kitchen area. There were a few issues the first day but Laura took care of it right away and made sure we were comfortable. Definitely appreciate her for that. We enjoyed our stay in Austin. 
918204,39406736,2015-07-23,5522270,Patrice,"I, and two friends, stayed at Laura's duplex. Upon entry, I noticed how pleasing the furniture was placed making for a cozy -but, slightly small- living space. The kitchen was newly remodeled. I hope the next home improvement will be painting the main living space walls as they were not clean and sparkly like the newly refurbished kitchen. Also, the front door needs to be replaced as there is a space that you can see through between the door and door jamb; though, they are easy repairs to complement the beauty of the living space.  My only concern is Laura's quickness to assume water damage to her accommodation is my fault. This has caused much grief to me and my two friends staying in Laura's duplex. Hopefully, your experience will be a pleasurable one!
 "
918204,41428672,2015-08-07,16972066,Bethany,"We had such a great time staying at this listing! It was very close to downtown, which made Uber rides really easy. Laura was in contact with us when we needed her to be and ensured that we got to the place and checked in okay. The condo was a little smaller than we expected, and it did get a little difficult only sharing one bathroom, but otherwise the place was great. "
918204,41986561,2015-08-10,37448652,Ryan,"Not too much to say other than our stay was awesome. Laura was always available if we were in need of anything ( which we weren't, was perfect). I definitely recommend Laura's pad as a get away. "
918204,43247842,2015-08-18,10682465,Marina,"Positives: The decor very nice.  The duplex is an older place but has been updated (for the most part).  Instructions to get into the property were clear.  When I had problems with the code Laura responded right away. Location very good. Air conditioning works great.  Ceiling fans throughout.
Negatives: California has a drought but Texas is short on toilet paper. There were four of us women and half a roll plus one roll provided. Texted Laura the next day and relative (lies next door) brought two rolls. Ran out and asked for more but she didn't respond. Her instructions on refrig. states guests may have to procure paper goods.  No soap or other toiletries provided. So bring your own. We didn't use stove but it was a little dirty. Living room furniture not very comfortable. One bedroom did not have flooring (probably in the process of renovating). More rugs for this room should have been provided.  If you want to wash clothes it costs $10.  On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best) I rate this an 8. "
918204,43517449,2015-08-20,263695,Mai-Ly,"The house was perfect for our family of 5.  It is not too small for that many . We were able to move around easily. It was also in a good location. Perhaps, the host might consider adding a dinner table which accommodates 6 people rather than 4 people. She had enough chairs but the table is too small to really accommodate 6 people comfortably. "
918204,43809898,2015-08-22,29270862,Siobhan,"Got our confirmation a few days before arrival all really straightforward. Quiet residential area, great location for South Congress with a car. Lots of useful info left out for us and coffee too, much appreciated! Great stay, would definitely reccommend. "
918204,44303803,2015-08-25,28941963,Ragha,"Laura's house is very conveniently located and most of the popular places in Austin is within 15 minutes of driving. The house itself was exactly as shown, very clean and tidy, and stocked with ample bedsheets and towels for my group of 7 people. 

I would highly recommend Laura's place! "
918204,44727655,2015-08-28,21569774,Alan,Everything was great!
918204,45141338,2015-08-31,40543241,Jackie,Came here with 7 other people everything was great. Clean house and fully stock for those who want to cook instead of going out! Laura was quick to respond to my text messages! Oh and for those like me who love a good shower the pressure from the shower head is excellent! like a massage for your back and head
918204,45767376,2015-09-06,30491828,Kelly,"The place was perfect for my family to stay together in one place while we are in town for a wedding. Laura was very quick to respond to messages and requests and the place was very nice. Free wifi, towels provided, coffee maker, all the pieces of a kitchen you'd need to make some breakfast, etc. we're great additions. There was construction down the street that had some big trucks going by, but what can you do? It didn't make the stay less enjoyable."
918204,46134671,2015-09-08,36151315,Margaret,My friends and I enjoyed our stay at Laura's place. We had 5 people and all had a comfortable place to sleep. The house was as described and was an easy uber ride away from downtown. I would stay again. 
918204,46634294,2015-09-12,42405304,Martin,"Great house next to everything in Austin ! Very clean and convenient, in two word,  great staying ;)"
918204,46891297,2015-09-14,23112258,Jessica,"We stayed at Laura's home for a girl's weekend. 6 of us comfortably fit in this adorable home. If we had an issue, Laura was readily available via phone call. "
918204,47612228,2015-09-21,8352050,Tai,"We were very disappointed with the condition this listing was in. The bathroom had a sewage smell, one of the bedrooms had no carpet, just a concrete floor and overall felt dirty. We unfortunately could not stay there due to these conditions and had to find other accommodations last minute on a very busy weekend. Laura was very understanding when I called to let her know it was pretty bad and told me she was going to credit me but then decided the next morning that she was not going to credit me because she was basically unable to rent it out. I find it really hard to believe that this listing has so many great reviews because it was in a condition that five professional women did not feel comfortable staying in."
918204,48436884,2015-09-26,43627111,Jackie,The house is actually a duplex.  It was very run down and was obvious that there had been water damage.  The house has a very strong mold smell probably from the water damage.  There was no flooring in the one bedroom.  The bedding was dirty so needless to so we didn't end up staying at this location.  After numerous emails back and forth to airbnb Laura agreed to refund our money.  Not a good experience for our first time using airbnb.
918204,49787209,2015-10-06,41854625,Tara,Laura was helpful with suggestions before and during our trip. There was plenty of space for the four of us.
918204,50323523,2015-10-11,9505178,Erin,"this place is was great! stayed here for ACL and it was so clutch. Very comfortable and a short drive from the airport. Additionally, the place smelled amazing and now all of my clothes do too! Love it. We had a great stay. Thank you! "
918204,50755844,2015-10-14,35488852,Katharine,"Laura was very responsive from us booking to when we checked out. She was not only prompt returning messages on Airbnb but called as well when we checked in and had a question and even recommended some local restaurants! The location of the house is great -- everywhere we went never was more than a 15 minutes drive or so. That said, I would recommend renting a car, especially if there are lots of spots around Austin you'll be visiting! The bedrooms were well-made and the kitchen was very nice, too. Some have commented on the bathroom but we shared it easily between four young women; towels, soap, and shampoo were provided as well. Laura also provides helpful information about her check-in and check-out procedures in addition to general tips about visiting Austin, which I appreciated. Overall, a nice, quiet place to stay in Austin! "
918204,52574350,2015-10-31,36666374,Joshua,Couldn't have asked for a better stay in Austin. Exactly what we needed. 
5105770,28165601,2015-03-19,26911582,Jesse,Great place. Great location and the Cuban Sandwich next-door is AWESOME! Thanks guys!
5105770,51421581,2015-10-19,45618190,Tracy,The host canceled this reservation 148 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3192005,22290028,2014-11-03,2650153,John,I really enjoyed staying at Leslie's house. She went out of her way to offer great hospitality. We were in Austin for Formula 1 racing and she left us maps and instructions to make our trip more enjoyable. Very thoughtful. Leslie's house was very clean and perfect for a family. Thank you Leslie!
8312559,47136249,2015-09-15,44116062,Cyn,"The place was immaculate and well stocked with everything we may need and then some. Super private setting. Quiet neighborhood, friendly neighbors. And the pooch loved it as well!"
8312559,47234490,2015-09-16,44116062,Cyn,Everything was clean and inviting and stocked.
8312559,47875585,2015-09-21,44108944,Danielle,Place was perfect for Austin. Only 10 minutes from 6th. There was 5 of us and we had plenty of space. Would def recommend! 
8312559,48803834,2015-09-28,44423972,Christian,This was the first time ever using one of these things. I was nervous at first but it was well worth it! Communication was spot on and the host went well beyond what most people would. The RV is very modern had all the new tech services. It was in a great location not too far from down town. This was a fantastic first time using this Airbnb. 
8312559,49188863,2015-10-01,26247915,Sean,"We had a wonderful stay with Justin. The RV was exactly as described,  Justin was extremely responsive and helpful. The entire experience was very nice,  I would not only recommend,  I would stay there again."
8312559,49301981,2015-10-02,3682479,Sean And Brittany,"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Justin and Amanda's RV. It was practically brand-new clean, with extra fresh towels. We did run out of TP the second day, which we did not think to bring up. No big deal; it was not due to negligence on their behalf. They are not accustomed to large parties. Our kids felt welcome to play in their big backyard with their own children, and felt like they left with a few new friends. Amanda was very sweet and gave me helpful tips on settling in Austin. Justin was friendly and let me check out his cool music recording room. We felt welcome and at home. Even our three puppy dogs were welcomed and made friends with their puppy dog. There was never a lack of communication from them about what we could do and expect. I'd recommend them for a stay to anyone."
8312559,49502910,2015-10-04,33316098,Katheryn,Great place to stay! Very clean and everything is all brand new. Justin was a great host and very friendly and flexible. He was really easy to get in contact with and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend him to other airbnbers and I would love to stay with him again. 
8312559,49814431,2015-10-06,38472627,Zach,Awesome experience in austin thanks to Justin and his rv... He made sure everything was ready for us and showed how everything worked. Seems like a super cool guy and would totally stay at his place again!!
8312559,50658600,2015-10-13,38875382,Jessica,"Our stay was perfect! A couple friends and I were in town for ACL (weekend 2) and completely fell in love with Austin. We felt very welcome and comfortable immediately. The place was spotless and Justin was extremely accommodating when we showed up earlier than anticipated. The only issue we had was a tripped breaker but with 3 girls in a luxury camper.....it was inevitable and entirely our own fault. Even though Justin and his family were out of town during our stay, he was very prompt in answering any of our questions. We will definitely be back one day!  "
8312559,51343724,2015-10-19,26546139,Juhan,"Justin RV was perfect! We stayed in Austin for a weekend birthday. It had everything for a perfect weekend in a great city. From Justin's RV, it is approximately a thirty dollar uber into downtown Austin "
8312559,51771056,2015-10-24,45481404,Marty,"Justin, his wife, and the RV were all very inviting. Dishes, towels, blankets, everything really, was provided and I felt at home the second I arrived. Definitely recommending this place and willing to stay again if the opportunity arises. "
8312559,52844850,2015-11-02,44287079,Claire,Great place for spending a weekend in Austin. The camper was kept pretty clean and the neighborhood was safe and close to downtown (about 20 minutes to 6th St). I would definitely recommend to a friend if they were looking for a place to stay. The host was very accomodating and even helped when we had a question or two. Overall a very good experience for Halloween weekend!
5423999,28089626,2015-03-17,1183279,Scott,"James and Miryam were fantastic hosts.  They made sure to have the place ready for us around our schedules and were more than accommodating. They made sure to leave us coffee and cookies to help us through SXSW!  The house was awesome- great location, easily walk-able to downtown or you could use the b-cycle system (there is a rack of bikes just a few blocks down).  Awesome places for breakfast/drinks right near the house.  I highly recommend this property and any other property that James and Miryam host."
5423999,29870701,2015-04-13,16286152,Benjamin,"James was the best host anyone could ask for.  He left us a treat to toast the Blue Devils (my team) after their championship.  Extremely thoughtful, with great suggestions of restaurants right in our backyard.  The location was perfect, and the house was so comfortable and well-decorated.  It truly made the Austin experience! "
5423999,30329947,2015-04-20,30273311,Ben,"Great part of town and an excellent house. The upstairs patio provides a relaxing spot to sit and overlook the neighborhood, the beds are comfortable, and the welcome wine and cookies are a nice addition. Austin's active nightlife is a walk away, but the house sits on a quiet enough street to absorb the city's lighter side. My group and I had a wonderful stay!"
5423999,30778370,2015-04-27,28994540,Jordan,"We had the pleasure of renting from James this past weekend and could not have been more pleased with the house, location, and ease of communicating.  Throughout the entire process, James was personally helpful and extremely responsive to any and all questions.  Upon arrival, James met us to provide an overview of the house, gave us quite a bit of feedback of things to do and places to go, and even left us a local bottle of wine for us to enjoy throughout the visit. 

The house itself was gorgeous!  You can tell it was well taken care of and that James really takes personal pride in the showing.  We used the kitchen quite a bit to cook breakfast and prepare meals enjoyed in the home.  The bedrooms and bathrooms were well appointed and all necessary toiletries and amenities we could need.  

The house was well located in East Austin, very close to many restaurants and bars in East Austin (including Franklin's BBQ) and walking (or a short cab/uber ride) to downtown, including 6th and Rainey streets.  

I can't say enough about this listing.  It was a pleasure meeting and working with James.  I would highly recommend this place and would stay there again.  "
5423999,31913057,2015-05-11,4843450,Charlotte,"We loved staying at James and Myriam's place! The house was modern, clean and comfortable with nice amenities and plenty of lounging and personal space. The location is one of my favorites in Austin and has a lot of character and plenty to do. I would stay here again! "
5423999,33833425,2015-06-01,32796447,Kyle,James was a great host and his house was terrific. He gave some perfect recommendations for places to eat nearby and was nice enough to leave us a present to help get our weekend started. His place very comfortably fit our group of 8 and was a great location close to all the spots downtown. We had a great weekend and I would definitely recommend renting from James.
5423999,35134874,2015-06-15,34350989,Dan,We had a wonderful stay.  The home was very nice and exactly as advertised.  James made everything so easy for us to enjoy our weekend.  I would highly recommend this property for a visit to Austin.
5423999,35399272,2015-06-18,33981951,Adam,"As Advertised! This place is fantastic. I arrived first and met James at the property, he was very welcoming. They give you clear easy to follow rules.. where to put trash, things like that. They gave us a bottle of wine and a list of recommended Restaurants. The house stayed very cool at night, beds were comfortable, and the upstairs deck let's you sit outside in the night air under a fan with a full view of Austin. The house is very nicely done, certainly a joy to spend time in. It took us less than $10 to get anywhere in downtown Austin by Uber and the local places are great. You can walk to Austin's two famous BBQ joints (including Franklins), and the restaurant a half block away Farmacy is amazing farm to table food, great drinks, and wonderful service.. they have the best breakfast I have ever had and Stumptown Coffee. If you're looking for a great Austin house, with very welcoming landlords look no further. "
5423999,38180624,2015-07-13,36441936,Alisha,Really enjoyed our stay in this house.  Fantastic location close to downtown and some great bars on east 6th.  The house is very comfortable and well appointed.  We would definitely stay here again.  
5423999,39024320,2015-07-20,33585010,Kris,"
Great location and James was in touch with us throughout the process. I would definitely reach out to James again for a future stay in Austin. Lovely home!
 "
5423999,42052958,2015-08-10,17761871,Eric,"I was able to meet our host early in the morning to see the place and it was love at first sight.  I hate to sound like the other guests from the past, but it is so true. This place is just like advertised! The place is immaculate from top to bottom. 

I was there in town with six others to have a bachelor party and the place accommodated us nicely. I wish we didn't have so many outside activities, because I could have stayed in that house forever. "
5423999,43861627,2015-08-22,41463225,Jamie,"Several co-workers and I stayed at James' place while attending a conference in downtown Austin. The place was perfect! James made us feel incredibly welcome, including sending us a list of recommended restaurants in the area. 

The house was amazingly well equipped with anything you could need during your stay, especially the kitchen. 

This listing was exactly as advertised, and comfortably slept four people (could have slept 6 or more). 

Thanks for a great stay James! "
5423999,45103484,2015-08-31,17845255,Jon,"We had an amazing time staying at Jame's home. He was always quick to respond to any questions and was very accommodating with our schedule. 

The home itself was great, very clean with a great layout. The location was great for walking to several different food options and a convenience store. 

Would definitely stay again, highly recommend!"
5423999,48302925,2015-09-25,36797571,Jamie,James was a great host and has a fantastic house. He was in constant communication and made the experience very enjoyable.
5423999,48705338,2015-09-28,36423085,Drew,"James is very great to work with and extremely responsive. The house is in a great area and about a $5-7 uber ride to 2nd street, Rainey Street,UT Stadium and 6th St. There is a great BBQ place right behind the house if you don't want to wait in a 3 hour line at Franklins and a cool place called Quickie Pickie that is an upscale convenience store/low key breakfast place. I would stay there again for sure."
5423999,50195428,2015-10-10,20318627,Mary,"James was absolutely wonderful to work with to secure this property for a sales training week in Austin. I was able to see the home prior to booking it to make sure it would be enough space for 4 male colleagues. I requested that there be lamps on each nightstand and he was able to make that happen before the guests arrived.

I will definitely use James and this property again."
5423999,51277813,2015-10-19,40293600,Max,"James was a wonderful host for our visit to Austin! The house was clean, modern, comfortable, and in a great location. It was easy to explore downtown but far enough away to be quiet at night. The house was ideal for our large group (9 people) with plenty of bed space, and the keyless access was fantastic! It was so easy for everyone in the group to come and go as they needed, which was a huge plus. James also provided some great recommendations for food and activities around town. I'd 100% recommend staying here."
5423999,53079077,2015-11-04,46917706,Peter,"Excellent location, great clean house with great facilities and modern amenities. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin, walking distance to great cafe's and restaurants. "
592958,3786935,2013-03-15,3152233,Jt,"Location, Location, Location! I stayed at Tracy's place during SXSWi with colleagues, and it could not have been in a better spot. Steps away from the best SOCO joints, and a short walk to the new stuff in SOFI. Try La Barbecue on south first before making the trek to Salt Lick, I think it is much better. Easy transportation to and from Downtown, and being next door to one of the most popular all night food joints in town is not too shabby. The place is just like it is in the photo's, except for the amazing backyard. The photos do not do it justice! So relaxing and laid back, it was the perfect place to stay while we were in Austin.
Tracy was amazingly helpful and accommodating, we had everything we could need. There is a connivence store within walking distance with great beer and service. If you are coming in from out of town, I would give this place my highest recommendation. Except for SXSWi, I call first dibs!"
592958,7208819,2013-09-10,3806707,Maeve,"I just spent another great weekend in Austin (who wouldn't!) and enjoyed staying in Tracys lovely home which is very close to SoCo, an area not to be missed.... great restaurants, music, people ....

The coach house is very welcoming and warm 2 bedroom house with plenty of space. While I didn't get to meet Tracy, she was very responsive all the way through the process and provided tons of recommendations for the visit, even introductions to her friends and neighbors.

While the one bathroom was lovely and quaint with a huge bathtub and rain shower, it was a bit difficult to get in and out of, so be aware if you have mobility issues.

Thanks Tracy and hope we get to meet in person next time


 "
592958,8272535,2013-10-22,6632378,Yolanda,The house is extremely accommodating. There is an incredible shower/bath and wonderful beds. Tracy was wonderful to work with. If you're in Austin then this one place you must stay. The pictures don't do justice. We had a wonderful time. Thank you! 
592958,8466306,2013-11-01,4455245,Malina,"What a wonderful place Tracy has! We loved it!
The location couldn't be better, just one block from the hip and happening SoCo, and yet so quiet and relaxing (the sun room is wonderful!!)... And so cozy! 
The house was clean, the beds comfy, the shower amazing, and the kitchen perfectly equipped. And while we didn't get to meet Tracy in person, communication with her was a breeze, the handover was simple and unfussy.
We couldn't recommend it more, it was really the perfect base for exploring Austin!!
"
592958,8782793,2013-11-18,8355601,Ryan,Tracy was so helpful with getting our trip setup. She was great about providing quick responses and house information. The house was awesome and in great shape when we arrived. We really enjoyed the proximity to the main strip on South Congress. Overall it was a great experience. I would highly recommend staying at this property! 
592958,10059512,2014-01-28,1225473,Troy,"I stayed at Tracy's place with 5 other guys for my bachelor party in Austin.  It was perfect for what we needed.  The beds and couch were great to house all of us and the open floor plan was great to allow us to spread out.  The commercial stove and the rest of the kitchen amenities were great for cooking.  We were there when it actually snowed in Austin and the heating was more than enough to keep us warm through the night.

The location is hard to beat in Austin.  S. Congress has a long line of great shops and restaurants to visit and it is only 2.5 miles to downtown, which is easily walkable if you feel up to it.  Cabbing back to the place from downtown is trivial and relatively cheap.

Really looking forward to heading back to this place when I can get back to Austin!

 "
592958,10634616,2014-03-01,4953978,Bruce,"Tracy was a wonderful host, attentive to any request, prompt, thoughtful. Her home was exactly what was described and was perfect for our needs.  We were a short distance from lots of wonderful live music, great places to eat, and a jog down by the river.  There was absolutely nothing we wish was different, except if we had been able to stay another month.  Austin is a great city, and this is a great place to see it from!"
592958,10997320,2014-03-17,545214,Mantas,"Beautiful, spacious house, walking distance from downtown and all of the fun stuff on SoCo.

Tracy was responsive and thoughtful."
592958,20498405,2014-09-30,945885,Justin,"Tracy's place was awesome!  The house, the neighbors, and the neighborhood were all awesome.

Ended up moving right down the street we liked it so much."
592958,20739387,2014-10-05,17812695,Lara,"We stayed in both the tree house and the main house for a bachelorette weekend and had a fantastic time. Tracy was great – she called me the morning of check-in and updated me on a few things, and answered some of my lingering questions about Austin. We were in communication throughout the weekend when we needed to be, and she always got back to me quickly. When we got to the house, there was a welcome package on the table and everything was ready for us to settle in. The house was clean, yet laid-back, so it was perfect for a group of girls on a bachelorette trip! The neighborhood was fantastic, we really enjoyed walking down Congress and off onto the side streets to look at all the houses. Really accessible to downtown, unless you are wearing your stilettos. We took cabs/uber and got to downtown in a few minutes - so easy! Great times in Austin!"
592958,21125329,2014-10-12,18667664,Karen,"A group of us stayed here for ACL and we absolutely loved the house and the area. The house has a cool, laid back vibe, was very clean, and matched the description and pictures exactly. We enjoyed how easily we could walk to the shops and restaurants on south congress - the house really is in a prime area of Austin. It was even close enough to Zilker park to walk home from ACL when we wanted to avoid the craziness of cabs- probably a 30 min walk. Tracy was a great host- very responsive and even left us a welcome basket full of goodies which we thought was a nice touch :) Would definitely stay here again!!"
592958,22225236,2014-11-02,1205884,Luke And Rachel,"Tracy's home was amazing!!! We had several out of town wedding guests staying there and they loved it!! We are on our way to convincing our family to move to Austin because of this space. The beds (including fold out couch) we super comfortable and there was tons of street parking. Very close to South Congress (1 block from Magnolia Cafe!). Love, love, love!! "
592958,28068668,2015-03-17,9131397,Matt,The whole experience was great! The place is bigger than it looks and has an amazing backyard. It's like you have your own private oasis. When in Austin staying here is a must! It was as fun staying here are walking the streets of Austin. Highly recommend!!!! 
592958,33204144,2015-05-25,20454706,Lyssa,"Tracy made us feel welcome and was great with communication. We had a lovely welcome basket upon our arrival, with a menu from the cafe next door (which, by the way, serves nice giant breakfasts and does take-out). We had some trouble getting in the house initially and she had the problem fixed within 20 minutes. The listing description was very accurate. We visited with our young toddler and it was awesome to have all the toys and sandbox around. I thought it felt homey and liked all the dimmer switches on the lights. Oh, and the bath tub was enormous! My husband enjoyed the ""rainshower"" shower head. We did not cook there but the gas stove top would have been great, I'm sure. We liked to hang out in the screened in/covered porch in the back. We could not have picked a better location. It's a block from SoCo, near tons of restaurants, cafes, food trucks, etc. We walked all the way downtown and it took about 45 minutes. We parked in her driveway. The streets around are very cute with trees and gardens. I can't think of any issues or problems we had. Would stay there again.   "
592958,44512166,2015-08-26,42153650,Noel,The host canceled this reservation 197 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The location is amazing for anything you might want to do in Austin. If you are here in the summer, I would definitely recommend checking out kayaking on the river! Only 5 minutes away! The place itself was neat and tidy and had everything we needed! I'm truly envious of the apartment itself and will definitely be staying here if I come back to Austin!"
2342760,32410990,2015-05-17,26253342,Tayo,"My family came into town and primarily stayed in the house. Here is there review:

We had a wonderful experience using Airbnb for the first time. Check in and check out was very easy. The house was very clean and the host was easy to contact. It would have been a lot better if there was cable tv but there was Hulu to use. The wifi worked great also. However, there was no iron which was a bit of an inconvenience. Overall great experience, great place, comfortable, and clean. Would recommend."
2342760,32926368,2015-05-23,27211266,Mimi,"Eric provided my group of 7 people with a wonderful stay! The place was perfect for us, not too big and not too small. Everyone was able to sleep comfortably and enjoy themselves in the house. We also felt very secure since there was coding security for the doors and garage. The place is easy to find and right off the highway so there is quick access to any place around Austin, especially South Congress. Highly recommend for any groups to stay at!"
2342760,33156269,2015-05-25,30310553,Ayesha,"Very Comfortable Stay..
Our experience from start to finish was smooth, pleasant and comfortable. We were a group of 6 with kids..The home was clean, well arranged with all basic amenities and garage access.
The description and images of the home are accurate.
The area is private, residential with easy access to the highway and to most places in the city. 
Our host Eric is very forthcoming and easy to communicate with..
It is a great place for couples, small families or a group of 6-8 people."
2342760,33464611,2015-05-28,33240901,Andy,"This is my first time on AirBnB and Eric made it such a nice experience. He was responsive to questions and timely on his replies. AirBnB and Eric made the process so easy and quick. I will defintely use this service again. The Kat-Bird cottage was very peaceful and quiet where it was located. The location wasn't too far from all the good eats and food truck areas so that was a plus. I also liked that the entrances were all key padded so we didn't have to fuss with carrying keys around. The house was clean and well-kept. Towels, bedding, and sheets were provided. 

Thanks, Eric!"
2342760,33865908,2015-06-01,21570578,Christan,This place and host are amazing! The cottage was everything as expected and more. Our host accommodated our group size as well as our check in / out times as well. All of our destinations were close by to where we could just get uber to drive us for a great price. Our group will definitely be staying here again. Thank you Eric! 
2342760,34475191,2015-06-08,13419574,Manuel,"We enjoyed our stay very much. Easy access, great location and an excellent option for 6 people. The place was very neat and clean, and it was really like staying at a relative's home. Beats staying at a hotel anytime. Eric response time was great as well, so I would highly recommend his place."
2342760,35152242,2015-06-15,33836669,Timothy,Our stay was great! The keyless entry was super convenient. The use of the garage was very perfect since we were all on motorcycles. Everything was locked up and secure we had nothing to worry about unlike a stay at a hotel. Not a single bad thing to say. There was plenty of helpful communication from the host the entire time.
2342760,35830871,2015-06-22,30561129,Elena,"We had an amazing time staying at Eric's townhouse. This place is phenomenal! You get a lot for your buck. We had a group of 4 stay and it was very, very spacious. It's conveniently located and is close enough to downtown. It's less than $10 for an uber ride. I would definitely recommend this place!"
2342760,40760775,2015-08-02,36081449,Maria,"It was a good experience for us, Eric is always willing to help and trying to feel us like home.  The house is big enough for a family of 4 and it has good amenities for kids ( pool and tennis ) and also there is a park very close, it is a quiet and safe neighborhood close to the free way so it was easy for us to move. "
2342760,44903792,2015-08-30,27866032,Stuart,"It is always a pleasure when an airbnb fully meets all of your expectations. Eric's Kat-Bird Cottage ticked off everything on our list. 
- perfect for family
- available swimming pool to cool off
- super convenient location 
- all the amenities you want when you travel

My daughter and I had a blast. We had a car rented for our stay and we never found ourselves more than a 20-30 minute ride to all the cool stuff Austin (and surrounding areas) has to offer. 

Eric - thanks for making our vacation stay so great! "
2342760,46065451,2015-09-07,42853014,Chris,"We spent Labor Day weekend at Eric's Kat-Bird Cottage and had a great experience. The townhouse is very spacious, nicely updated and conveniently located near downtown Austin. Eric was extremely accommodating and reached out several times to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely try to book Eric's place the next time we're in town. "
2342760,48842807,2015-09-28,44944452,Bradley,The host was good with communication.  The place was VERY clean and prepared when I visited there.  He responded to my emails and text.  I like this place - especially the cool stairs.
2342760,49593281,2015-10-05,22045187,Samuel,"Eric was a great host and had the place very clean and inviting when we got there. He even left us a few sodas in the fridge. The location was ideal for our visit to Austin, and was less than a ten minute car drive from down town. There was also a bus stop right at the end of the street making public transportation easy. I would definitely stay there again!"
2342760,50838134,2015-10-15,3868066,Darren,"Eric was amazing as a host. The property was as advertised, lots of space, great decor and very homey with all the amenities. We enjoyed every minute at this location and would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Highly recommended!!"
2342760,51244027,2015-10-18,46555832,Cory,"Eric's place was neat, clean, and comfortably slept 4. Was a 10$ uber ride to 6th street. Had a blast in Austin, TX for the night.
Thanks for hosting us Eric."

120230,501608,2011-09-05,605765,Guillermo,Lisa`s condo was our home in Austin! Both the Condo and the location are wonderful! It`s close to everything you need to visit in Austin! Lisa is very kind and a great host! If we come back to Austin we will definitely stay at Lisa`s Condo! Tip: If you come from Argentina don`t forget to bring a bottle of red wine for her! 
120230,553115,2011-09-21,615015,Casey,Lisa's condo was perfect and everything I needed for my stay in Austin.  The pictures and description of the place are all accurate and Lisa is really easy to work with and very accommodating.  I would definitely stay at Lisa's place again if in Austin.  
120230,585973,2011-10-01,992806,Tyler,"Lisa was an excellent host and the condo was exactly what we were looking for. It's located in a quiet, awesome neighborhood, walking distance to all the important things (Walgreens and breakfast tacos), and being just a few miles outside of downtown made it a breeze to get around.
I really can't emphasize enough how nice the space was. I've stayed in suites who's bed fails to compare to the pile of princess mattresses she has. It's exactly like the picture. 

If you're looking for quiet hideaway not too far from everything, this place works out nicely."
120230,620335,2011-10-11,874015,Melanie,"I had the pleasure of staying at Lisa's apartment this past weekend. She was sweet enough to leave a bottle of wine along with other goodies in the fridge. She also left a detailed list of directions for the house and how to get a cab, etc. The apartment is adorable and represented very well. I loved her style, especially her music posters of some of my favorite bands (Bauhaus and The Smiths!). The bed was also very comfortable. She was easily available for any questions and we had no issues during our stay. Would definitely recommend her place if you're visiting Austin. It's about a 10 minute drive from downtown so best to have a car but you can access the bus system in a fairly quick walk (7-10 minutes) and cabs are easy enough to call.

Thank you Lisa for allowing us to stay! I signed the book! :-)"
120230,640274,2011-10-17,1287648,Cindy,"Lisa's condo was great! Nicely decorated and very cute! Clean as well.  Older apartment complex but it was clean and quiet. No traffic noise and the neighbors were friendly.  My only problem was Lisa doesn't watch TV so has no cable. That's cool but I would have liked to watched a little TV late at night to fall asleep. I know she has a DVD player, but I didn't want to get into a movie and stay up late. Otherwise, I would definately stay again (even without TV!) and would recommend this place to others. Lisa was nice to accomodate me at the very last minute. 

Thanks again!
Cindy"

120230,684534,2011-11-01,1331915,Janice,"The condo is located in a quiet and friendly complex that is convenient to attractions in central Austin by bicycle or bus.  It is close to Barton Springs, an outdoor, year round swimming pool fed by a natural spring. A very good vegetarian restaurant is a short walk away.

The inside of the condo was organized for guests with computer and speaker hook ups easily accessible; local maps for touring; and a supply of coffee, tea, bottled water and other staples for use. Our hostess Lisa was responsive to our needs when we called her with questions."
120230,702851,2011-11-08,1270021,Martha,"Lisa had a great place! She even had an air mattress made up for my extra friends upon arrival. Close to everything, we had a great time. Walk to El Meson on S. Lamar for some awesome breakfast!"
120230,723438,2011-11-15,1361707,Cindy,"We booked this apartment last minute and Lisa responded so fast. Condo was exactly as described and her place is fantastic. Lisa left us a bottle of wine upon arrival and fresh flowers in the bathroom. :)
We have since become friends on facebook! Thanks for a wonderful experience and we look forward to staying at your place in the near future!
Thanks so much!

120230,825370,2012-01-02,1473643,Lesley,"Lisa's condo was perfect!! I wanted a quieter place than downtown, and I wanted to be running distance to Zilker park- it was perfect, and There are tennis courts accross the street! Austin is an outdoor city, so being near the park and near the river was exactly what I wanted. But even more importantlu, Lisa was the PERFECT hostess!! I could not have asked for more. I ran off to buy half and half before I checked the fridge- she had already stocked up for us!! Juice, wine, flavored and regular half and half, and tea and coffee! and great advice on bars- loved bar ilegal and clives!! Wish I could have met her but she was in Antigua, poor thing. :-)"
120230,869069,2012-01-17,949112,LuzCarmen,"Lisa's condo was GREAT! She left some awesome tea, wine and water as well as a welcoming note for us! The condo allowed for such easy access to downtown Austin as well as the restaurants, shops and parks in the area! The neighborhood is nice and quiet, her condo is well organized and neat. The bed is comfy and the entire space is very lovely. 

We had the pleasure of meeting Lisa; she was so welcoming on our way out- such an accomplished and well traveled woman! I'd deinitely stay again!"
120230,907195,2012-02-07,965451,Mary,"Lisa's condo was absolutely perfect. Very clean and comfortable. It had everything my sister and I needed for our long weekend. Lisa was super helpful and even recommended places to visit in Austin. Even though she was out of town, she responded to my texts promptly. I will definitely come back the next time I visit Austin. "
120230,917354,2012-02-13,1217147,Lisa,We were super comfortable and Lisa's place had everything we needed!  Perfect for our yoga weekend getaway!
120230,934296,2012-02-20,1708549,Nicole,I love Lisa's place.  Her place is in the perfect location (a short cab ride from downtown).  She is very accomodating to her guests.
120230,952904,2012-02-27,352238,Ann,"Great condo, great location.  There's a park right across the street, nice since we were travelling with a toddler.  Many thanks Lisa, for sharing your home."
120230,970655,2012-03-05,1569128,Mary,We had a fantastic stay at Lisa's condo!  In the perfect area of town near everything we wanted to see!!!  Cozy and all of her little touches and the bottle of wine and just the funky loveliness of her condo made the stay perfect.  We were there with our son and it made traveling with a baby so much easier.  She has wonderful friendly neighbors as well.  We're coming back next year!!!  :)
120230,1001518,2012-03-15,1501030,Tony,"Lisa's condo was perfect for my stay in Austin, during SXSW. I enjoyed her super clean, well organized space. I felt like a King sleeping on a majestic bed!"
120230,1018765,2012-03-19,400289,Gideon,"Lisa's place was absolutely perfect for our stay.  Very comfortable, plenty of space, and in a beautiful neighborhood that was a short distance from the SXSW action.  Lisa checked in to make sure that we were ok and was a very thoughtful host.  Will definitely come back!"
120230,1074507,2012-04-02,1308293,Kiran,"We had a great time staying at Lisa's place. The location is prefect, tucked in a quite neighborhood that's very close to downtown, but away from the hustle and bustle. The condo has everything you would need: a comfortable bed, internet, and is very well maintained. Check in and out were very flexible and easy. Lisa went out of her way to make us feel welcome and we really appreciate all her help!"
120230,1104281,2012-04-09,1977046,Carol,Lisa's place was clean and cozy... and interesting! Loved looking at her traveling adventures... She is quick to respond to you when needed and pleasant to speak with.  We enjoyed our stay and appreciated her flexibility on time when checking in and out. It was much better than staying in a hotel.
120230,1160155,2012-04-21,1213071,Zarina,"Lisa's place is fantastic and Austin is totally awesome! Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Lisa as she flew out as I flew in but she left so many maps, tips, and recommendations that I was fully equipped to go. The place is in a fantasitc location and everything is so easily accessible on foot or better still - by bike!"
120230,1173818,2012-04-23,364298,Nicole,We booked Lisa's place at the last minute. She was totally accommodating and helped us get the keys in an easy fashion. Her apartment was darling and I commented to my friend that I'd love to get to know her personally just based on the cuteness of her decor. I highly recommend Lisa and her wonderful condo.
120230,1210975,2012-05-01,1284213,April,"Lisa's super cute condo was a great way to experience Austin like a local.  It's close enough to downtown and the trendy SoCo district to be driveable (about 5-10 minutes), but it's located in a quiet neighborhood that's set back from the main drag. Because the condo sits right across the street from an elementary school, I was a little leery about playground noise, but turns out I never heard any children unless I was walking outside to our rental car!  I was pleasantly surprised.

I loved Lisa's decorating style (the individual bottles of sand collected from her travels around the world are so sweet!), and the giant bed is incredibly comfy.  The girl also has a picture on the wall of her and Willie Nelson.  That is too cool!  We spent most of our time outside of the condo, so we never really had any need to watch television.  (If you're spending your time indoors watching cable TV in this awesome town, you're doing something wrong.)  We had requested an air mattress for our stay, but Lisa called to tell me that she recommended sleeping on her living room couch instead.  She's totally right, the couch was waaaaayyy better.  If you're too good to wrap up on a couch, you might not like this arrangement, but I was pretty comfortable sleeping here when I wasn't in the bed.

Aside from that, Lisa is an awesome host--she left us an incredibly detailed packet with things to eat, see and do while we were in town.  I sorta wish we hadn't brought a rental car, because I really wanted to call her friend Carlos for a taxi ride!  I mean, how often do someone give you a personal taxi cab recommendation?  I didn't want to pass that up."
120230,1239089,2012-05-07,1977667,Erica,"After a very hectic week of finals we set off for Austin. Lisa's condo was awesome. SOOOO much nicer than a hotel. It was a little tricky to find at first but we made it. The house was super cute, clean, comfy bed...what more did we need? The only problem we had was that the condo next door was having some work done so the construction folks were pounding away at 8 am. Not Lisa's fault though as she couldn't have predicted that! It was a wonderful visit!!"
120230,1263039,2012-05-11,2186287,Graciela,"We had a great time.  The condo had all the conveniences of home, which it is, I believe.  It was very clean and comfortable.  Lisa was a perfect hostess  by leaving information on the condo and happenings in Austin.  She also provided a nice gift for us to sip and relax after a long day of activities. "
120230,1272025,2012-05-13,1819940,Lisa Marie,"As soon as I entered Lisa's condo, I felt home. This was my first time seeing Austin and I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. Her place leaves you inspired, nestled in the confines of walls breathing art & music and the most comfortable bed I've slept in ouside of my own zen den. I will return to her warm and inviting quarters when I return to Austin. Thank you Lisa!"
120230,1287223,2012-05-15,2304498,John,"The condo was beautifully decorated, comfortable, homey and spotless. Excellent location. We were very happy with the entire experience!"
120230,1319373,2012-05-21,511290,Juliette,"We had a wonderful time at Lisa's Condo! everything was just perfect: perfect size, very clean, great, green neighborhood with a playground for our little daughter next door and best of all : the most comfortable bed I have slept in, ever, I think, really !
Lisa was also very sweet to leave us some tea, coffe and milk for breakfast and she was very kind in letting  us stay anl extra night , when we decided that we wanted to stay a bit longer.
I can highly recommend her place and would love to come visit again one time! "
120230,1373039,2012-05-29,2109582,Colleen,"A great location and such a peaceful, pleasant place to stay.   After an activity filled day it was nice to come back to a place that felt like a real home.  Ultra comfy bed and a book collection that made me wish for bad weather just so I could spend more time reading.  Enjoyed Austin, didn't get enough BBQ so need to go back. "
120230,1431854,2012-06-07,2138475,Ruchi,"Lisa's charming and eclectic condo is a total find, located in an extremely convenient location in Austin. Its perfectly located to explore, whether by bike (the best way for ATX), by car or just walk around and hop onto buses exploring the city (the way I love it), in the heart of the city yet a peaceful place to unwind. 
The condo was superbly kept, and Lisa was nice enough to leave us some milk, wine, and extra sleeping bags for us around the house. She was also always available when I had questions, and the couch is as comfortable as the bed. 
I will surely try to host my friends here too.

"
120230,1442699,2012-06-09,2200079,Norton,We had a wonderful stay at Lisa's condo in Austin. It was conveniently located and was very nicely (email hidden)sa was extremely helpful during our stay with recommending restaurants and things to see and do and was always available via cell when we had questions while we were out touring.  We had a great time in Austin and will be back!
120230,1659691,2012-07-08,797680,Emily,"Our stay was great, and Lisa was more than accommodating: she set up an extra bed without asking, left a long list of suggestions for restaurants/bars/outings, and (since she was out of town) had a friend check in with us. The place was cozy, very clean, and reasonably central (walking distance to Zilker Park and some places on Lamar). I would stay again!"
120230,2029174,2012-08-19,1714101,Sara,"Four interns from around the country were flown in for a workshop my company hosted and they ended up staying at Lisa's place. They absolutely loved it! It was their first time in Austin and they loved the location and the cute little touches, like the sand from different parts of the world. They said it was spacious, clean and a great spot to explore the city. I would absolutely recommend Lisa's place because of her promptness in responses and her ability to accommodate my requests."
120230,2346776,2012-09-19,3427054,Carly,I really enjoyed Lisa's place. It was in great condition and looked just like the pictures! Really comfortable and clean. My only comment for those coming to Austin for the first time (like I did) is that a car really helps to get around. 
120230,2469319,2012-10-01,3435550,Sindey,"This was my first Airbnb booking and I absolutely loved staying at Lisa's darling condo near Zilker Park.  I highly recommend staying at Lisa's over a hotel while in Austin.  The best part of the condo is its location.  It is centrally located and very easy to get to and from anywhere in the Austin vicinity.  Although I did not get to meet Lisa in person, I felt very welcome in her condo.  It was very clean, loved having access to a kitchen plus wifi.  I'm not certain as to Lisa's profession but she sure knows how to decorate.  If you need some design ideas/inspiration- this is the place to stay.  Her sand wall collection is a design element I'm taking away with me for my future travels.  It was also nice that her neighbors are quiet as I really did not hear them (be it above or next door).  

If you need food, the condo is close to the flagship Whole Foods as well as Central Markets.  The drugstore is also nearby as well as Target for other supplies like insect repellant.  I felt very safe in the neighborhood and in the complex.

I highly recommend strolling through the Umlauf Sculpture Garden which is very close in proximity.  I wasn't sure what to expect but it was one of those pleasant surprises.

FYI: The only thing lacking was a microwave in the kitchen.  If you need an iron and ironing board, be sure to ask Lisa prior to arriving as I didn't see one in the condo (not that I needed one) and if you need hangers, also ask for these prior to your arrival.  There are plenty of hooks in the bedroom, bathroom and dining room.  Lastly, if you need to watch tv, bring your laptop and surf on Hulu as there is no cable in the condo.
If you're not going out and plan on having a quiet night in, there are plenty of books and magazines available.

Don't delay, book your reservation with Lisa.  The next time I'm in Austin, I hope that this condo will be available for my stay.

120230,2556825,2012-10-09,1036332,Lauren,"This condo is darling!  We had everything we needed, Lisa was so thoughtful/accommodating, and Austin just blew us away!  There are plenty of tips and suggestions available from Lisa (which was very helpful) and I recommend using Carlos as your driver for the weekend.  He's so much fun!"
120230,2753099,2012-10-29,3424359,Bree,"Lisa's condo was quiet, comfy, and very clean!  We made great use of the location - right across the street from a great playground and a short jog to Zilker Park.  Lisa was responsive to our questions everything was just as advertised.  We hope to return!
"
120230,2821972,2012-11-06,2929445,Robyn,Had a great time in Austin for FunFunFunFest!  Lisa's condo is cozy and adorable.  The location is great (right down the street from a bus stop to downtown) and near some cool bars and restaurants.  Lisa left a book ful of great suggestions for places to visit during our stay.  I would definitely stay at Lisa's condo again!
120230,2912550,2012-11-19,3245583,Julio,"The place was just fantastic. Clean, nice and comfortable. Close to fun areas and Lisa is definetly a top host!"
120230,3208959,2013-01-01,4218263,Susan,"very nice place- well located. Only disadvantages: a little bit dark, view of adjacent condo wall. "
120230,3685549,2013-03-04,63480,Colin,"Lisa's condo was comfy and in a fantastic location for exploring the city. The apartment is tastefully decorated and we loved Lisa's sand collection. 

Getting in and out of the apartment was a breeze and getting from her place to anywhere in Austin is easy by car. There are also a few great places for a beer or food that are an easy walk from the apartment. It was exactly as described on the site.

Thanks Lisa!"
120230,3803586,2013-03-17,3328337,Jochem,"We stayed in Lisa's condo during the SXSW festival this year, and it was just perfect. The location is awesome (nearby a direct busconnection to downtown) and the condo was clean, comfy and had everything we needed for our stay. Lisa was always there to answer our questions, even a couple of months before our trip. Thanks again for everything!"
120230,4123152,2013-04-11,4395154,Adrian,"Great cosy place to stay if you're in Austin. Lisa has everything thought out for you, with directions and recommendations on places to eat, see and do all laid out in her welcome folder. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Austin. Felt like a home away from home. Perfect. "
120230,4146361,2013-04-14,4384865,Chloe,"Lisa is an excellent communicator and host. She was very open to answering questions. The place is adorable. Although it has two beds, it would not be comfortable for two couples to stay because one bed is in a room shared with the living room (has no door or wall).  It was great for a family with younger more flexible kids because the second bed is a blow up and not solid for those with bad backs. Overall, the place was great. Such an amazing location, quiet, and safe. I went on many runs in the area and found that there was much to explore there in Zilker. She has the most unique decorations and makes you feel at home. If all you want to do is read, don't worry- she has plenty of magazines and every best seller ever sold. The kitchen is very small but has all the amenities except a microwave. There is no kitchen table, but there is a lovely deck for the condo building with a patio table for dining. She welcomed us with a bottle of champagne and plenty of beer! The bathroom was nice, but it is in the bedroom and therefore access for night bathroomers is challenging. Internet is fast and TV was great. If you like traveling and want inspiration- Lisa's place will lure you in !!!"
120230,4180760,2013-04-16,393528,Emily,"The place is beautiful! I see this as a great getaway for a couple--close to some neat places on South Lamar, close to drive over to the SoCo neighborhood, and just a relaxing setting. She has travel trinkets from all over the world and it is a beautiful and interesting place to stay. Lisa was nothing but responsive with all of our questions, and it was a pleasure staying in her place."
120230,4276673,2013-04-23,4561854,Rori,"This is a great place to stay in Austin. Getting in and out was super easy. The condo is clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The location is great too. It would be easy to park, but you can also get there by taking the bus or riding a bike. I would highly recommend it. "
120230,4436212,2013-05-05,1781770,Russell + Emilie,"Great place to stay, very clean and extremely comfortable.  We were just in town for a couple nights to go to a wedding so didn't have much time to check out the area unfortunately.  Austin seems fun and the apartment is close to downtown."
120230,4689988,2013-05-20,6239652,Christian,"Lisa's condo was a great place to stay for a couple days in Austin. Great location, plenty of parking, and very comfortable inside. I enjoyed the french press and my girlfriend had her first Ruby Redbird, compliments of our host. We never met Lisa in-person, but all communication with her was excellent. I would highly recommend Lisa's condo to others looking to explore Austin. "
120230,4880244,2013-05-30,2691972,Justin,"One of the best AirBnB experiences ever!  Lisa was awesome to work with.  The condo looked exactly like the pictures.  It is in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything.  Everything about the condo was fantastic: high quality, clean, cool decor, etc.  As I said to my wife (only half-jokingly), let's just live here from now on!"
120230,5811426,2013-07-17,3286044,Kevin,Lisa's place was incredible. She went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable during my stay. A great location -- I would stay there again for sure.
120230,6828225,2013-08-26,2245132,Thomas & Ellen,Great location by Zilker Park that allowed easy access to Barton Springs as well as downtown access without being in the middle of all the noise of the city. Easy and quick communication and a beautiful house with all the amenities to make it very comfortable for our weekend getaway!
120230,7081515,2013-09-05,8401541,Rebecca,Great apartment and very artsy decoration. Lisa is very helpful and the kitchen setting is considerate as well!! 
120230,7919402,2013-10-08,5068622,Lena,"Lisa was a gracious host with a good sense of humor, and her cute place was convenient to Zilker Park for ACL."
120230,8083879,2013-10-15,76346,Peter,Fantastic little place - perfect for a couple wanting to have a stepping off place for exploring Austin.  Thanks Lisa!
120230,8247897,2013-10-22,5441163,Daniela,"VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE! the apartment was very nice and cool, Lisa is a very joyful person and this is clear looking at her apartment! Austin is the best city in Texas and Lisa's apartment is an excellent accommodation! thanks you so much!"
120230,8436996,2013-10-30,6098330,Vishvananda,Lisa's place is adorable and she was extremely helpful and courteous. I highly recommend staying here.
120230,9176098,2013-12-10,1168679,Karen,"I just spent 3 nights at Lisa's Darling Condo, and it is just that- Darling! It's also cozy, comfortable, quiet and very well situated for getting around Austin. I liked Lisa's decor, and found her amazing sand collection from beaches around the world enchanting. I've now added some beaches to my bucket list! Since Austin had its coldest weather in a decade during my stay, it was great to be in a warm, cozy place. Two things that were a bit less than optimum but not a deal killer during the winter: 1- it is a downstairs unit without much direct sunlight, so it tends to be dark  2-The outside area and entrance are not as classy as the inside. Overall, I definitely recommend staying here!
"
120230,9463081,2013-12-30,9398144,Angela,"What a lovely place! 

As we walked in the door the first thing I noticed was the nice smell of fresh lilies on the coffee table. I don't know about most people but fresh flowers are my THING, I love how thoughtful Lisa was to put them there. The Condo was full of personality with all the arts, decorations, the paint... everything spoke the mind of a free spirited woman. My husband and I absolutely enjoyed living Lisa's life for a few days.

Lisa has a binder with a list of fun places you could try. We found out about the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema from her recommendations and went there. It was a great experience! It was really thoughtful that she listed all the fun things to do with maps.

There were speakers we could connect our iPhones to play music, and there was a printer which was handy to printout boarding passes (although we didn't actually use it).

All in all, it seemed Lisa had made every effort to make her guests' stay comfortable and convenient. So thank you Lisa!

Angela"
120230,9563635,2014-01-02,3146630,Georgette,"Lisa's darling apartment perfectly fit our needs for a quick jaunt into town for a New Year's Eve celebration. Everything you could possibly need to feel at home, you'll find here—cozy bed, fluffy towels, excellent bathroom lighting, teas of every variety and quintessential WiFi. Even had a chance to meet Lisa, who was every bit as lovely as her home."
120230,10423991,2014-02-18,10051191,Talia,"Very cozily decorated condo near Zilker Park. There are a few stores (one quick-grab market, one Wallgreens) walking distance, but it's best to have a car to get around the city. The apartment held the four of us perfectly, and is stocked with delicious teas, coffee and a full kitchen. Lisa was quick to respond and overall warm and fantastic! Because this is in a row of private apartments, there is no balcony/outside space that isn't public space. "
120230,13487828,2014-05-28,1177143,Berkley,"Lisa was super flexible when our travel plans found a bump in the road. The place was clean and just right for our trip. She left a variety of teas and drinks in the fridge. The bed was really comfortable, and so tall! Lisa answered all of our questions even when they were clearly answered in the book she left (oops!) and in the emails I was having a hard time receiving. The location is great. You could easily bike anywhere in the city from the apartment. Thanks for letting us stay in your cozy apt! and p.s. your sand collection is rockin! "
120230,15348815,2014-07-07,16952055,Robert,Everything was as expected.  Lisa did a great job preparing her place for us and we enjoyed our stay.
120230,17542091,2014-08-13,18859307,Tassel,"Hi there!  Lisa's condo was fantastic.  It is in a wonderful neighborhood, just a few minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs pool, and also perhaps 10 minutes to downtown.  She has great taste and the whole place has a wonderful, electic energy.  I did not meet Lisa but we communicated via text and she was always friendly and helpful.  I would definitely stay here again!  ps  She also kindly left some great cans of root beer in the fridge for guests!"
120230,18371368,2014-08-25,19871442,Sasha,"Staying at Lisa's was absolutely amazing. We comfortably slept 5 people, we had everything we needed from towels to essentials in the kitchen, and she gave us great advice on what to do in the city. I would definitely recommend her place and will look for it in the future."
120230,18838964,2014-09-01,9829800,Erin,"My parents really enjoyed their stay in Lisa's condo.  They said it was very pretty, very quiet and the bed was very comfortable.

Lisa was very accommodating and left great instructions.  I will definitely use her condo again when friends and family come to town and need a place to stay."
120230,19660813,2014-09-15,21122671,Maria,"Besides having a great place, Lisa was extremely well organized and I appreciated her recommendations on nearby restaurants. She responded to my request very quickly as well. Thank you, Lisa. "
120230,20101545,2014-09-23,4643034,Theo,I had a tremendous stay with Lisa. her apartment was clean and well decorated - a tremendous place to stay and get some work done between my obligations in town. Everything was properly stocked and set up to make my stay as convenient as possible. Thumbs up!
120230,20832118,2014-10-06,20533433,Lisa,Lisa's home is in a small apartment complex that was a great location for ACL. We were able to walk to Zilker Park which was a nice option since the crowds were crazy getting out of the park. The home was clean and made for a nice place to sleep after a long day of being on your feet. She left out a nice variety of tea which we took advantage of nightly :) Also was very responsive to questions when booking and made for an extremely easy process. Thanks for a great stay!!
120230,21126696,2014-10-12,11145497,Skye,This is a great Location for ACL Fest and for Central Austin.  The place was great clean and accommodating.  The bed is very comfortable and Lisa left us beer and a full pitcher of filtered water in the fridge.  I would stay here again the next time I visit Austin.
120230,21885944,2014-10-26,2713334,Raymond,Lisa's place is great and was just as described. Probably best for those with a car since the bus is a little bit of a walk.
120230,22608518,2014-11-10,5139977,Nora,"Lisa was an incredible host and we had a lovely time at her cozy home. We felt very safe and the neighborhood was a short uber ride away from South Congress and Downtown Austin. I highly recommend this to any group of 2, 3 or 4 who is looking for a great stay in Austin. "
120230,22845173,2014-11-16,17482989,Sarah,"Lisa was fantastically cool! We luckily ran into her when we arrived for check-in and got to visit for a few minutes. Her guidebook was helpful in showing us neat places to check out around the neighborhood, which is also a great area. Definitely check out Rainey St. and eat drunk food at East Side King! The mattress is really comfy like other guests have mentioned. Don't forget to return the parking pass... I had to overnight it to Lisa from home, and she was very understanding. :)"
120230,24791283,2015-01-02,3773630,Emily,"For New Year's eve, I rented Lisa's condo for my parents- who were a little hesitant, having never stayed with airbnb before. But, seeing her space for the first time, they were both instant converts and are looking forward to renting it again on their next trip to Austin. 

The condo is clean and uncluttered, but also filled with unique elements (e.g. her collection of beach sands from around the world). The location is perfect for out-of-towners for easy navigation to all the major South Austin scenes. She was very helpful and responsive leading up to their stay, and we appreciated her thoughtful instructions. "
120230,25323887,2015-01-12,7448338,Jeff,Lisa's place was great I highly recommend!
120230,25512238,2015-01-18,1094175,Marilyn,"I flew to Austin to visit my daughter who is living there.  The trip was delightful and made even more so by the accommodations I'd reserved.
The condo was immaculate; nicely furnished and very clean.
I would definitely rent from Lisa again when I return to Austin."
120230,25828590,2015-01-26,3264665,Kathy,Very nice experience. 
120230,26271363,2015-02-08,2610661,Michelle,"Lisa's place is absolutely lovely! My best friend and I spent the weekend in her condo! Check in and check out were super easy, and the condo had everything we needed for a great stay! Her place is close to everything! Would definitely stay at Lisa's place again!! "
120230,26641063,2015-02-16,26227870,Erin,"Lisa's place is comfortable and incredibly clean! She was very communicative and made it really easy to access the condo, even without meeting her. My husband and I traveled with our almost 1-year-old and Lisa took it upon herself to rearrange furniture to fit our portable crib. We really appreciated the great hospitality! "
120230,27955706,2015-03-15,28519134,Tracy,Everything was great.  Would prefer to have cable television.  Loved the location and great communication of the host.  It was very easy. 
120230,28126148,2015-03-18,3065986,Ethan,"Lisa's apartment was a perfect HQ for SXSW. The unit itself was highly functional and pleasantly decorated, with a very comfortable bed and a nice shower. It has a kitchenette but I did all my eating from food trucks. Internet worked liked a charm. And the location is great -- only a 15 minute Lyft ride from the Convention Center.

I highly recommend for future SXSWers and anyone who's looking for an authentic Austin feel."
120230,28354267,2015-03-22,11328184,Brian,Lisa's condo is in an excellent location near an elementary school with a nice park. The numeric lock on her front door makes it easy to get in an out without the hassle of needing a key. Would stay again 10/10!
120230,29218632,2015-04-05,29889122,Angela,"The quintessential Austin condo! Lisa's place is located so close to everything--downtown, food trucks, amazing Zilker park (animal preserve) and so forth. We traveled with our 2 boys so it was nice to land back at Lisa's after a big day exploring Austin. Her condo is hip but had the comforts of home. Would definitely stay there again!
"
120230,29764560,2015-04-12,4199452,Brian,Really enjoyed our stay and very much recommend it for anyone visiting Austin.
120230,30228302,2015-04-19,3791790,Angel,Lisa's place was fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. All of the instructions were perfectly clear for our checkin and I think it's awesome how much work Lisa put into sharing great spots to checkout in the neighborhood (highly recommend Olivia by the way). The neighborhood felt safe and close to tons of great stuff. Thanks Lisa!
120230,30672597,2015-04-26,27755951,Benjamin,"Lovely condo, pretty good location. A bit dark inside. Not much to do within an easy walk; consider renting a car or bicycle, or plan on lots of Uber rides. "
120230,31135455,2015-05-02,17088043,Irving,"My wife and I came to Austin on vacation and stayed at Lisa's darling condo.  Lisa has things really well organized.  We had trouble getting into town and were late.  She stayed in touch and we easily were able to access the property despite the late hour.  Everything was in place and ready for us.  The condo is an excellent area and we were able to get to all the areas we wanted, great restaurants, parks and so forth quickly.  The condo was exactly as advertised, comfortable with everything we needed.  It is a great place to stay in Austin and we look forward to coming back."
120230,32984661,2015-05-24,16878078,Kathleen,"What a wonderful condo! My husband and I felt right at home and loved the wide-ranging book and sand collections!  It was very clean and we were appreciative of the French press and delicious coffee that Lisa left for us. The location is perfect for all of the Austin attractions - SoCo, downtown, Zilker Park, food trucks, live music, restaurants, and bars. Everything was in easy reach. We had a car and loved that parking was available onsite. The neighborhood was quiet, as was the condo complex itself. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!"
120230,34329862,2015-06-07,28592223,Casey,"My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Lisa's place. It was comfortable, well-appointed, and most importantly, close to good food! For those feeling adventurous, Sway and Alcomar were delicious and only a mile or so away. Many thanks Lisa!  "
120230,37149455,2015-07-05,16182253,Kathryn,"We loved our stay at Lisa's condo.  The location is excellent - we were easy walking distance to Barton Springs in one direction and food trucks/restaurants, bars, a drug store, and a liquor store in the other direction.  The condo itself was clean and well-appointed, with plenty of space for the two of us to relax and unwind after exploring the city.  Lisa left us with soft drinks, coffee, and even beer!  My personal favorite part of the condo was the picture on the wall of Lisa (I think!) with Willie Nelson, particularly because our whole reason for visiting Austin was to attend Willie's 4th of July Picnic.  We had a great time and I would recommend the place and the hostess to anyone."
120230,39863511,2015-07-26,19122711,Guillaume,Lisa's place was just great. The location is great if you want to hand out in Barton Springs or Zilker park. The apartment was clean and super neat. Lisa left plenty of tips about Austin. And she even has a French press to make coffee on the morning. I would definitely come again!
120230,40797951,2015-08-02,31040527,Betsy,"Lisa was very welcoming and accommodating. She is a wonderful host. She knows the area very well and was happy to provide us restaurant recommendations. (Thank you for the restaurant recommendations, Lisa!) The space is central, safe, quiet, and clean. "
120230,44069101,2015-08-23,20495980,Jason,"The listing was better than expected, and the location was perfect!  The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. I had such a great time and a perfect get away. I commuted all over town on my bicycle.  Again, the location was perfect! I'm looking forward to coming back. Lisa had great suggestions for the area and made her place very inviting! Lisa is a great host!"
120230,45836350,2015-09-06,17429688,Sharla,The condo was just as described and a perfect place for us to stay while we were in Austin.  Lisa was very accommodating and responsive to any questions that I had and was a great hostess!
120230,48604632,2015-09-27,37932198,Anne,"First, Lisa's place was great: beautiful furnishings, linen and artistic paint job lovingly done. It was also cool on a hot day and spotless; both aspects much appreciated! Lisa left coffee, cream, beer and sodas in the fridge for me and a binder with detailed info on Austin hot spots, cafes and restaurants. She was easy to communicate with, quickly answering a question I had by text. "
120230,49587731,2015-10-05,10541453,Luca,"Lisa is a fantastic host, the apartment is very confortable, the neighborhood is quiet but nice.
I'm very happy for this choose."
120230,51295595,2015-10-19,8082129,Jerome,"Great neighborhood -- convenient to everything that we wanted to do.
The condo was indeed ""darling.""  Lisa provides a wonderful place to stay, in a quiet neighborhood, with all of the amenities that we needed.  The listing description was exactly what we encountered and exactly what we needed.  We highly recommend this condo, and we look forward to staying there again on our next adventure to Austin."
3090769,14325414,2014-06-16,16622883,Jason,"The location was excellent!  Just yards for South Lamar and eateries and bars north of Oltorf!  Easy access to downtown or to South Congress area!
The homestead itself was INCREDIBLE!  Driving into the ""compound"" was like being transported in time.  The main house has a historical marker, and a mill had been originally on the property.  The mill stone is set as the centerpiece of the circular driveway. There were also several other outbuildings that have been converted to residential use.  And the donkeys... can't not mention the donkeys!!!   
The Carriage house is off the gated garden from the main house.  This is an almost 200 year old historic building that has been elegantly appointed with modern conveniences.  While the wireless was not yet hooked up in the house, it was a minor (website hidden), Cable/Satellite, 42 in TV, DVD, a small library of movies, Keurig, mini-Fridge and mini-microwave are all available.  
The area surrounding was obviously used as settings for the photography studio that previously inhabited the carriage house.  We used the outside courtyard to do a small elopement ceremony, and could not have ask for a more beautiful or appropriate location.
Our host was kind enough to leave us with a bottle of Champagne and a beautiful magnolia centerpiece on the coffee table.  Also, the can of 'Off' left was appreciated, for the mosquitoes were out in force.  The host also left us a folder of things to do/eat/see in the area, as well as her direct cell number in case we had any troubles.
The only negative thing I could ever say about this property was it's proximity to the RR tracks. The first night, it startled me awake on a couple of occassions.  The second night it was less of an issue as I was exhausted.
Truly a magical escape!  
      "
3090769,15938744,2014-07-18,3630354,Mannix,"The boutique studio in historical Austin is absolutely charming.  As soon as you enter the lush, green and spacious property it feels as if you’ve stepped back in time, to another era when things were calmer and more genteel.  The studio itself is beautiful, clean and unique; gorgeous quality linens, ,keurig coffee maker, etc.  The owner, Nancy, was wonderful.  She went out of her way to ensure our stay was perfect.  A visit to Austin is always great and staying in this property made our stay especially memorable.    When we're headed back to Austin, we'll definitely try to book it again!   The location was perfect for us."
3090769,18925635,2014-09-02,10409538,Tim,"The place was absolutely lovely.  The many Ericas who helped me through the booking process were just as lovely and dare I say...enchanting.  The owner of the house was an absolute delight--a true southern belle whose every warm smile and extending hand reminded you of the hospitality found only in the movies and your parent's photo albums.   And the carriage house itself was just a unique gem with a true carriage bed into which one melts upon arrival.  

My only issue would be with the Turn Key service who reset my door code at 11 AM when I had been offered a late checkout.  This confusion and inconvenience led to my missing my flight but it was hopefully a problem which Turnkey has since worked out.  Otherwise I would highly recommend this one of a kind treasures you won't find often in Austin.  "
3090769,19622590,2014-09-15,14912381,Shannon,The carriage house was absolutely magical - highly recommended for anyone looking for a weekend getaway.

3090769,21627699,2014-10-20,17001409,Caitlin,Gorgeous hidden gem.  Great for a short term stay as there isn't really a kitchen.  I felt like a queen.  The setting is peaceful and romantic.
3090769,22435143,2014-11-06,22507995,(email hidden),"I loved the property and the location.  I would stay here again.  Bang, Ruth and Ruby were the highlights for us.

3090769,23215966,2014-11-25,23160576,Heather,"Great location and charming space, wonderful decor.  Terrific Austin music and food venues within a few minutes.  There really are donkeys there.  We had a few issues with water seepage in the old carriage house, due to a freak rain storm, but that was resolved by the host. "
3090769,26848037,2015-02-20,26763569,Christopher,Very nice spot! Loved the bed and the donkeys! :)
3090769,27551158,2015-03-07,23871223,M.,"This was the most beautiful and relaxing stay I've ever had. The property is luxurious and private, allowing one to walk the gardens and enjoy the outdoors. The room was well-appointed and very comfortable. Minor problems where fixed with a phone call (TV and coffee maker). I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
3090769,28988251,2015-04-02,4487018,Adam,The carriage house was lovely. Even though it is in the heart of Austin and close to everything it feels secluded and very romantic.  Furnishings are minimal but everything is tasteful and well chosen. We had everything we needed. Highly recommended for a short stay. 
3090769,29831944,2015-04-13,28064348,Maria,This was a great home.  All amenties were provided including robes.  The space is perfect for a busy couple.

The house is beautifully furnished and decorated in a quaint but elegant style, and the location is awesome. Would definitely stay here again. "
3090769,40994694,2015-08-03,39086458,Cristiana,"This place was wonderful! I stayed here with a friend for the weekend and we had a lovely time. The grounds around the carriage house were beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. I have only two, VERY MINOR, complaints that would not in any way discourage me from staying here again. 1. The bed linens and towels from whoever had stayed in the unit previously were left behind by the cleaning staff in a garbage bag in the middle of the sitting area. Not a deal breaker but a bit of an ambiance kill when the rest of the space was so lovely. 2. The old toilet was charming but it was frustrating that it only managed one flush every 30 minutes...it just took some getting used to. 
Overall, this place was wonderful and I hope to stay here again in the future. Will definitely be recommending to friends!"
3090769,44253646,2015-08-24,38179188,Ashley,"Cool place right in the middle of everything. Train runs by a lot, especially at night. There are 2 donkeys on the property, which is cool. "
7789212,49803955,2015-10-06,43144405,Roberto,The apartment was very high class and spacious. The complex was upscale and it was easy to navigate to our specific apartment. 
7789212,50465953,2015-10-12,42399326,Brittaney,My stay was great Howard had a very nice clean place!

The room is located in a safe, gated community with very little to no outside noise.  Parking is convenient and it is very close to stores, shopping and most importantly, Starbucks.  My wife and I enjoyed our 4 night stay and would book here again if we needed to."
79768,641813,2011-10-18,1149010,Aimee,The East-Side Bungalow is the best house ever!!!! We had a terrific stay in this cozy and adorable place.  Shawn was very welcoming and accommodating and the location was perfect.  A quick 15 min walk or 2 min cab ride to all the action downtown but tucked away in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.  The experience was far better than any hotel I have ever stayed in.  
79768,703849,2011-11-08,532543,Madeline,Thanks so much for having us! We had a fantastic stay and the place had everything we needed! We'll definitely hit you up next time we're in town!
79768,10873132,2014-03-11,7872779,Sabel,Shawn was a great host. We had everything we needed and the house was in a wonderful location for SXSW. Walking distance to everything we needed to go to and just far enough to be away from all of the madness! Thanks for everything Shawn! 
79768,10998255,2014-03-17,4094506,Keith,"We had a great time at Shawn's house and everything was as advertised. 
He was very friendly & helpful and I'd certainly recommend him."
79768,20924248,2014-10-07,21643580,Gustavo,"La pasamos excelente en este lugar. Justo lo necesario y a distancia en donde te permitía caminar a donde quisieras. El anfitrión también excelente muy amable y nos apoyó con cualquier cosa que necesitabamos. Nos dejó un mapa hecho para ubicarnos. El lugar es genial. Muy limpio y no nos faltó nada.
El gato es buena compañía para leer el periódico en la terraza de afuera."
79768,22330949,2014-11-03,7041062,Zachary,"Shawn's house was beautiful, clean, and conveniently located.  I was in Austin for work, and this spot only made me wish I had more time to hang out in it.  Very serene and comfortable. "
79768,22654975,2014-11-11,21973449,Chris,"Shawn's home was clean, comfortable and located in a great area.  We could walk everywhere.  Shawn was quick to help with any questions we had while staying in Austin.

We would definitely recommend him."
79768,23516728,2014-12-02,1777686,Jeffrey,"When I was looking for a place to stay in Austin, I had a complicated list of needs: 1) Close to a park near the river, 2) walkable to East Side restaurants and such, 3) a kitchen for cooking so that I wouldn't spend too much money at those restaurants, 4) an outdoor area such a yard/porch for enjoying the winter sun, and 4) affordability. Received all of that and more with Shawn's place. Shawn is also a kind, responsive person.  What's not to like? "
79768,27896103,2015-03-14,22854730,Alex,"Shawn was great! The house was perfect for SXSW and Shawn was extremely helpful, attentive and available. I would gladly stay here again."
79768,28969200,2015-04-01,7093016,Fredrik,"Lovely house in a quiet, yet central neighborhood of Austin. Shawn's directions were super helpful and we had a great time. Would definitely wanna stay here again!"
79768,29910935,2015-04-14,26688863,Matt,"Shawn was very helpful in accommodating our group's needs, and we had a great visit to Austin.  This house is in the perfect location for anyone who wants to have a quiet place to stay that's walking distance to Rainey St  and 6th St.  "
79768,30801774,2015-04-27,5554400,Leigh,Shawn was a great host and communicated very quickly back and forth to any questions we had. His space was very eclectic and unique. This was a good place to stay for the reason we came down which was to explore downtown Austin at night and attend a music festival. The house had window AC units which surprised us but the house stayed cool but I could imagine summer months would get warm. Parking was easy and the house was a quick 5 minute Uber to downtown. Great restaurants nearby as well. 
79768,32509658,2015-05-19,28115420,Ellen,"We've just had a lovely stay in Shawn's home. We were made to feel very welcome and Shawn's was quick to respond to any questions we had. The cottage is probably basic by some people's standards, but for those who want to stay Eastside (like us) the situation couldn't have been more perfect. A great start to our Texan adventure!"
79768,33076140,2015-05-25,28248374,Don,"Highly recommended!  We were very comfortable dealing with Shawn from the start--he was very prompt and helpful in all communication and everything was meticulously prepared in advance of our visit.  The  space itself is very spacious and free of clutter with large, bright principal rooms sporting high ceilings.  The large front porch was definitely a nice bonus for a much needed restful pause in our busy Austin schedule.  Which brings me to the best feature of this listing:  an amazing location in the coolest area of town that's also on a very quiet street.  We were able to stroll to a number of Austin's best new(er) music venues, food truck lots and cafes.  But it's also central enough that you can take a very cheap cab ride to South Congress or Downtown if you so desire.  Even a Farmer's Market on Sundays. Great nights out in a vibrant part of town with a chorus of songbirds in the morning the only noise you'll hear.  Don't hesitate if this spot is vacant!"

79768,51466239,2015-10-20,44516566,David,"Nice quiet location within walking distance of a lot of attractions. Lots of restaurants/food trucks within a few blocks. The house is comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed hanging out on the porch. Shawn is very accommodating and communicated well with us. Oh, and the water pressure is WOW!"
4726661,27354033,2015-03-02,27709180,Erika,Nolan was an awesome host this weekend! He was more than happy to welcome myself and my guests for an epic bachelorette weekend! The house was perfect and made our weekend very special. Thank you for the welcoming gift! Everything was very clean and the location was perfect. An Uber ride was less than $10 every night we went out! I highly recommend staying at this house and will definitely stay here again in the future! Couldn't be happier!
4726661,27545050,2015-03-07,9119002,Joyce,"My 4 colleagues and I oohed and aahed as we  first explored Nolan's stylish yet comfortable house in South Austin in person. It's as lovely as the photos depict, and Nolan was a spectacular host--from his accessibility throughout the booking and check-in process, to all of the little gifts he left for us in the house (most of which we didn't have time to make use of!), to being totally understanding when we lost track of time on check-out day and overstayed our welcome by about an hour. 
I highly recommend this place for any group visiting the city that is looking for a neighborhood-y experience."
4726661,27668084,2015-03-09,27711133,Ryan,"This house was awesome and far exceeded our expectations.  It felt like our own little resort.  The owner Nolan left us a welcome basket with some of his favorite Austin goods and some local craft beer in the fridge. Also, his own guide to Austin that he left for us helped us plan our days.  The house was much better then can be seen in photos and was the perfect spot for an Austin getaway. Locationally, there was plenty of bars/restaurants to walk to and downtown was a 5 minute uber ride away.  Next time we come to Austin, Nolan will be our first call for using this perfect house again."
4726661,28403942,2015-03-23,5051195,Jalan,"Nolan's house was amazing! It was so clean and had a ton of space. The 3 porch areas were awesome. The location was perfect, within walking distance from many excellent restaurants on South 1st. It was also a short Uber ride to downtown. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin, especially if you have a larger group (8 people). Nolan also left a gift basket with Austin treats. He was also very easy to work with regarding his response time and making the arrangements. "
4726661,28797852,2015-03-30,25371184,David,"Nolan's place was great.  It was exactly as described and in a great location.  Nolan had everything to make our large party of 8 feel at home.  Thanks again!

"
4726661,29086163,2015-04-03,29285477,Ryan,Our Client was in town and we needed a nice place for them to stay and to show them a good time. Nolan’s place could not have worked out better. The location is perfect and is in walking distance or a short bike ride from nearly everything. My boss and the Client were extremely impressed with the accommodations and wished to extend their stay. I would highly recommend Nolan’s place to anyone visiting or looking for a place to impress and entertain guest. Nolan’s place far exceeded everyone’s expectations and provided for a great time. 
4726661,29111177,2015-04-04,781715,Liz,"Nolan left us a gift basket that was very thoughtful and tailored to our plans for the week. He also left a list of his favorite places in Austin, which would be helpful to out-of-towners. Helpful signs explained how to use the TV and sound system. The neighborhood is residential but close to a lot of fun South Congress and South First places to eat and shop."
4726661,29827886,2015-04-13,27591342,Matthew,"There is absolutely nothing negative to report about our experience renting from Nolan.  His home is amazing-- immaculately kept, spacious, tastefully decorated, and conveniently located.  From the fully-stocked gourmet kitchen to the awesome outdoor space and cozy living room (both perfect for entertaining), our party of 6 was enamored with it all.  For his part, Nolan was thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly easy to work; not to mention his list of Austin-must sees/dos literally made our trip.  I would not hesitate to rent this home again or to recommend it to a friend or fellow traveler.  "
4726661,30288835,2015-04-20,8735736,Rachel,"The house was absolutely fantastic for the lingerie shower and bachelorette weekend I hosted. There was plenty of room, the place was clean and comfortable, and the house itself was such a neat and original place. Nolan left us some local Austin snacks and drinks in a very thoughtful guest basket, along with recommendations of things to do and places to see. The only thing that was a little unclear was where to leave the garbage bags of trash we had from the weekend upon leaving, and how to open the back gate to park our cars. We ended up being okay not opening the back gate and found street parking the whole weekend. As far as the trash, we ended up leaving the trash bags we'd tied together outside on the back porch, hopeful that the cleaning crew that came in after us would see them. Our stay was perfect though, and all of the girls who came raved about the location and how beautiful the house was. I highly recommend staying here."
4726661,30765969,2015-04-27,25801586,Ashley,"The location of Nolan's house is superb! Right off S. Congress.  Close to Lamar and 6th street as well.  The house is gorgeous and even better in person than in the pictures.  Well maintained, plenty of space for 8 girls.  Nolan left us an extremely generous welcome basket with local beer, vodka, coffee, nuts, and a guide to Austin that was helpful.  Overall, we couldn't get enough of the house.  I highly recommend it! Nolan was responsive throughout the booking/renting process and even helped get us hooked up with a reliable boat company for a day on the lake.  The key-less entry was very convenient and easy to use.  Book now for a great weekend in Austin!"
4726661,31329427,2015-05-04,29962968,James,"Nolan was a fantastic host and his house is beautiful.  We were arriving early and Nolan made sure the house would be ready for an early check-in.  In addition, Nolan gave us a sampling of local craft beer and vodka from Austin and left plenty of recommendations on things to do and see.  Next time I come to Austin I will be sure to stay here again."
4726661,31885418,2015-05-11,1486607,Ron,"Nolan was a wonderful host and his house is beautiful. Great kitchen, comfortable living room, and really nice backyard. Location is great - right down the street from some wonderful food trucks!"
4726661,33229357,2015-05-26,402057,Laura,"The treehouse flat is beautiful, very welcoming, and Nolan was a spectacular host! I stayed here for a bachelorette with six girls and we had ample room and everything was within walking distance. I'd go back in a heartbeat!"
4726661,35082129,2015-06-15,11071462,Holly,"We had a great time at Nolan's house.  Fantastic location close to restaurants, food trucks, bars and entertainment. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our bachelorette party celebration!  "
4726661,38190778,2015-07-13,36550079,David,"What a wonderful stay! The ""Treehouse"" is a high-end custom home built on a lot with several mature trees. On the balconies, you can sit right up in the green canopy. They are lovely, unique features. 

My friends and I were down in Austin for a weekend of casual fun. There were five of us in total, and the Treehouse had room and comfort for all. (Do not underestimate the living room couches. They will suck you into the land of nod.) 

The house is straight out of HGTV with high end finishes. The ""rain shower"" in the master bedroom was a spa-like treat. Memory foam beds. A gas insta-water heater instead of a tank provides hot showers for even a large crowd. The listing pictures do not do the place justice.

Half a block from 1st with food trucks and restaurants galore. A $5 Uber-ride from 6th Street bars and music venues. A great location.  

Nolan was very welcoming and responsive to us. A gift of beer, Tito's vodka (with a cocktail recipe), chocolates and toiletries waited on the table for us when we arrived. What a great way to settle into the weekend. 

A special word of thanks to Nolan is in order. My friend left his high end headphones behind. Nolan found them and had them in the mail back to us the next day. AND he refused reimbursement for it. ABOVE AND BEYOND the call of duty. 

I would definitely stay here again.

4726661,39015862,2015-07-20,33686621,Linh,"This place was everything we were looking for. Nolan was awesome as a host. We couldn't find a better place. The place was extremely clean and perfect for entertaining. There is a deck on each floor which was great to hang out in the morning and enjoy coffee. Everything you need is in this house from cooking to entertaining. Grill in the back yard. This place is located just blocks from South Congress, Nolan left a few bikes for us to ride which was awesome down Soco. Thanks for the gift basket Nolan! Love Moscow Mules"
4726661,39988967,2015-07-27,34214395,Joe,"Place was more than expected! Had an awesome time with the family and will definitely be back. Nolan was more than a great host, he provided us with everything we needed from extra towels, soap, kitchenware, etc. 

The house is a high end custom home designed to give you everything that Austin is about and has a musicians taste to it. If you want a great place to stay that has everything in more I would give this house a shot. 

P.S. If you love to grill you are going to love his outdoor gril....."
4726661,42598062,2015-08-14,28994990,Chris,Great home with nice amenities and a short distance from S Congress. Host was attentive and provided us with a pleasant experience. Look forward to staying here again. 
4726661,43087745,2015-08-17,21750116,Amber,"Nolan's home was perfect and very spacious for a weekend getaway for our group of 5! This home is thoughtfully furnished and fun for a group, whether you want to hang out inside or on the balconies and patio outside. The check in and out was very smooth, the gift basket much appreciated, and the interior and bedrooms were comfortable and spotless. Nolan also provided great recommendations for food and nightlife. We will definitely stay here again when in Austin! "
4726661,43848350,2015-08-22,14239989,Erin,"Loved this house! The central location made it easy to get around and the house was decorated in a clean and tidy way, while still having all the comforts of home. 

Nolan was very proactive and reached out on multiple occasions to ensure we were comfortable and offer local knowledge. 

I would highly recommend this house for a trip to Austin. Can't say enough good things. "
4726661,44246803,2015-08-24,6673019,Daniel,"We couldn't have imagined a better place to stay in Austin! The house was spacious, clean, comfortable, chic, and very well located. Although we didn't meet Nolan in person, he was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. "
4726661,45106853,2015-08-31,13951,Dan,Perfect experience! Nolan was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. The house is beautiful and well appointed. The neighborhood is ideal. All 7 of us had a blast!!
4726661,45933560,2015-09-07,16183227,Elise,Incredible house and even more amazing host. Nolan is what every host should be. We had a blast here and can't wait to come back!! 
4726661,47285877,2015-09-17,42491198,Erin,This was a great property in a great location.  The house was nice and clean and check in was a breeze.  Nolan was extremely attentive and easy to get in contact with.  We would recommend this place again for our clients visiting Austin.
4726661,47675787,2015-09-21,36051587,Shannon,"This was a great option for a girls’ birthday weekend (8 total) from the beginning, with the gift basket of local treats as an added touch. There is plenty of room to spread out and relax without feeling crowded! 

The Treehouse was nicely appointed and while we dined out plenty (with recommendations from Nolan himself), the inviting kitchen and large grill were also perfect for a home cookout we enjoyed, complete with festively lit backyard. Everyone had a bed and slept comfortably. The keyless entry is an added convenience when coordinating group comings and goings. We’d definitely recommend and stay again!"
4726661,48416725,2015-09-26,516003,Chris,"Amazing home in a great location. Clean, well-furnished, everything one needs for a great visit to Austin. Nolan was responsive and easy to get in touch with. Highly recommend this place for travelers to Austin."
4726661,48702431,2015-09-28,420868,Thomas,"Nolan's house was perfect for our group attending a wedding in Austin. Very comfortable, well equipped, super clean and perfectly located. Nolan was a very accommodating and helpful host. Strongly recommended."
4726661,48939009,2015-09-29,44276382,Evan,"I want to first say that Nolan was an excellent host and made sure to go the extra distance to make our reservation work. My wife and I just had our wedding at House on the Hill and we needed a place to relax with my bride and some friends after the wedding. This place exceeded expectations as it wonderful patios, great interior, and an awesome selection of instruments. Some of our friends that visited also got some decorating tips, and will soon hang their guitars just like in this house. The location could not be better, as there is plenty of great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops nearby. The house was comfortable with every guest, Kitchen was great, I cant say a single bad thing about this place.  "
4726661,50012292,2015-10-08,4296048,Jared,"Nolan was a great host and his house is the best! Nolan was always very responsive and genuinely interested in our group getting the most out of our time in Austin by sharing local knowledge and pointing out highlights of the house. We were in Austin for work and this location and set up was great for us to pop into the city for meetings and pop back for break out sessions and internal meetings around the large kitchen island or on the comfy living room furniture. 
I would highly suggest this house because it is truly a gem, and Nolan couldn't have been more accommodating."
4726661,50837100,2015-10-15,11186653,Mairin,"First of all,  Nolan was super easy to get in touch with and responded right away to any questions or concerns. Check in and out was easy,  the house was very clean and well-stocked, and he made us feel welcome with a nice gift basket and great recommendations for food and music! I stayed with a small group for ACL and we walked and ubered everywhere easily. I think the most i paid for an Uber was $6-8, the longest we waited was 4 minutes,  and if you like biking/walking it's less than 2 miles to Zilker/ downtown and way closer to South Congress. The neighborhood is pretty, quiet,  and feels very safe. The house itself is great. We really enjoyed hanging out on the balconies (especially in the hammock), listening to our new records from End of an Ear, and the many instruments throughout the house.  The beds are a dream,  the master shower perfect after a long day at the festival,  and the kitchen well-equipped for a night in with friends. I highly recommend this place,  and would stay there again next time. Thanks for the great hospitality, Nolan!"
4726661,51264239,2015-10-19,57916,Sophia,"Nolan was a great host! The house was perfect for us--lots of space (in and out!) to lounge around in. Great location, easy to walk to so many restaurants!"
4726661,52050674,2015-10-26,30536581,Sarah,"I love this house and it's location! The location is so close to everywhere and the house is cozy and modern. Nolan was easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and made us felt welcome with a cute welcome basket. I would definitely consider this house again for future trips to Austin. If you are thinking about this house, make sure you call dibs or shotgun on the master suite with the King bed, because it is so comfortable!"
4726661,52671465,2015-11-01,22063488,William,"Treehouse has excellent kitchen/great room area for relaxation. Great house, quiet neighborhood, short ride to everything."
4726661,53291410,2015-11-07,36228417,Kevin,"The best air bnb house I've ever stayed at.  full stop.  Tons of space and filled with instruments. Total Austin experience, great neighborhood and great vibe.  Nolan is the best."
1777542,10939573,2014-03-14,6368028,Mike,We had a fantastic time staying with Alex in Austin for SXSW. She was extremely helpful in giving us some intel on how best to get around the city and also pointing out the good places for food (too many to note). I would highly recommend staying with Alex for any stay in Austin. 
1133017,4559607,2013-05-12,6320362,Maude,"This airstream was amazing! What a cool place to stay for a night. Mickie thought of EVERYTHING! It was perfectly decorated and lived up to it's name, the ""Gypsy Caravan"". I loved the claw foot tub in the bathroom--awesome. Beats any hotel, any day. Mickie was so sweet and accommodating. I wish we were able to spend more time with her. You won't go wrong staying here! "
1133017,4590097,2013-05-13,90880,Autumn,"This small wonder near East Austin is a total package. It's convenient to all of the things we wanted to do/eat ;) in Austin and the Airstream remodel is a perfect 10. I felt like I was transported back in time when I walked into the Caravan. There were deep colors and plush fabrics on the    seating and walls, antiqued wooden floors, vintage cabinetry and a collection of old records and a record player to set the tone. The owner, Mickie, thought of everything and there wasn't a place where her attention to detail fell short. Mickie was very kind and accommodated out sort of late arrival and told us about places to eat and go out late night. She let me ask too many questions about the Airstream remodel and answered me with a smile in her face! We will be back soon, for sure."
1133017,4631945,2013-05-16,661340,Melissa,We had the best time in Mickie's trailer!!!  It is such an amazing place and so close to great restaurants/bars.  Communication with Mickie was super easy and she was really flexible with our crazy schedule.  Every inch of the airstream is PERFECT and it was the best possible place to unwind.  I only wish we could have stayed longer!
1133017,4657015,2013-05-18,4178910,Elizabeth,"This place is fabulous, and highly recommendable for a visit to Austin.  Mickie was very responsive and accommodating of our late arrival.  The trailer and surrounding space are impeccably styled, and the whole place is cozy and private.  I would definitely stay here again!"
1133017,4690959,2013-05-20,5905087,Shannon,"Mickie's Gypsy Caravan was great - seriously just the right amount of well thought out quirk! We both loved it and would stay again. Mickie was great to communicate with, and told us all we needed to know, no confusion, just as it should be.

Thanks Mickie!"
1133017,4739381,2013-05-22,6442922,Erin,This place has so much character! My friends and I stayed a night and loved every second of it. The atmosphere that she creates just screams Austin. It is in a great location and is not just a place to stay but it is a whole Austin experience. 
1133017,5130758,2013-06-14,6320981,Aaron,The Gypsy Caravan was a great place to stay. Its like having your own private tropical hideaway in the middle of the city.  I was completely comfortable and relaxed there.  All the bamboo in the backyard makes you feel a bit of peace and solitude been then when you are ready you can just leave the fence and be really close to everything in Austin. Mickie was a great host. Checked on me from time to time to make sure I was happy and comfortable.  I am pretty low maintenance so I didn't need much but she made it clear that she would have helped me out with whatever. I recommend the Gypsy Caravan as a great spot to relax and enjoy the ATX.  
1133017,5150699,2013-06-15,6706284,Katie,"The gypsy caravan was AWESOME! The pictures are extremely accurate, but do not do it justice. Area is very close to downtown (a few minutes drive). Mickie was very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay at the caravan again... it was the perfect Austin experience. "
1133017,5199258,2013-06-17,6825716,Jake,"Thank you, Mickie. A very enjoyable stay."
1133017,5216837,2013-06-18,4409215,Nandini,"My husband and I spent a couple of nights at Mickies straight after our wedding and couldn't have stayed in a better place. The caravan has so much character, the bathroom was actually my favourite place, the claw foot bath tub, the walls, everything was gorgeous! We even used the outdoor shower which was quite.. Liberating! 
We recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin, a far better option to a hotel, in a good location. 
Mickie recommends a few places in a folder that are nearby, we visited East Side Showroom, a classic cocktail bar, we loved it! 
Thank you Mickie, we'll be back when next in Austin :)"
1133017,5267822,2013-06-21,2850889,Bonnie,The Gypsy Caravan is a dream. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I walked in. Mickie is a lovely host with impeccable taste. I hope to stay again soon!!!
1133017,5346310,2013-06-25,2298083,Patrick,never stayed in a better place than this caravan. everyone who visits austin and doesn't stay at mickies gipsy caravan is a fool.
1133017,5433806,2013-06-30,6289112,Christine,Would recommend the airstream. Ideal for a younger crowd who will be spending most of the evening out and about as the bed is a pull out. Must have a car or a bike to get around. Unique and eclectic decor! 
1133017,5516204,2013-07-03,865829,Adrianne,Sweetest caravan in ATX!!! I would definitely stay here again!  Great experience :-)
1133017,5551692,2013-07-05,7190091,Ellis,The caravan was very cute and cozy! It had quite a bit of character and would definitely stay again.
1133017,5580269,2013-07-07,2769734,Jessica,Austin was a great city to come too and we were excited to stay at the caravan. It was a really easy and awesome experience. The place was super charming and Micke did a great job as a host! 
1133017,5646844,2013-07-09,2496412,Alissa,The decor & attention to detail are flawless! Mickie had done quite the job of making the Gypsy Caravan such a unique & fun place to stay!
1133017,5687970,2013-07-11,5620267,Amanda,"My boyfriend and I stayed here on a cross-country road trip. It was clean, charming, and well decorated. Loved the outdoor shower and deck! Plus Mickie was very responsive. We had a wonderful time-- quite the memorable trip! "
1133017,5763445,2013-07-15,2513121,Luz,Mickie's place was great!! It was close to everything we wanted to check out while in Austin. I only wish we had more time there. She was a great host and responded quick when we had questions. I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting Austin. :)
1133017,5946234,2013-07-23,6825755,Jody Madelon,"WOW.  As good as it gets.  Mickie was a doll to deal with arranging everything before I arrived.  When I checked in, it was even better than the pics showed on-line.  Sparkling clean, funky gypsy cool, even coffee and cream in the frig.  The A/C worked really well, and the location great with ample and easy parking.

The down side:  It was really really hard to leave what became my own gypsy home.

This was my first experience  with airbnb, what a great find.  I will never travel using anything else.

Thank you darling Mickie!"
1133017,5978522,2013-07-24,6869061,Philip,Mickie was a terrific hostess.  I had a request or 2 above and beyond what was part of the arrangement and Mickie was super enough to indulge me.  Very easy going and friendly with the right amount of total privacy.  The Caravan was pretty amazing and like no accommodation I had every stayed in before.  Very comfortable and with lots of interesting fixtures to look at. Ill be back next year. 
1133017,6129846,2013-07-31,6818776,Merideth,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Mickie's trailer. The caravan was utterly enchanting and I never wanted to leave. The little details were fantastic, from the art to the local CDs to the coffee. The AC does a reasonable job fighting the summer heat and the deck is a great place to hang out w/friends and a nice glass of wine. I easily paid less than I would have paid for a decent (and boring) motel room. Clearly, AirBNB is the way to go for all my future vacations. "
1133017,6202684,2013-08-03,7572308,Jerrod,"I was a bit apprehensive going into this rental. I knew I was going to love it, but was worried about my girlfriend. No discredit to her, but she's a little more fancy than myself. Long story short, we both LOVED this place. Since you're close, you definitely have to stop by the East Side Show Room...you might notice some similarities in décor...hint, hint! Another must for the visit is the White Horse (very close to the Show Room). Definitely nothing fancy here, just GREAT music and load of people having a blast. Oh and one last thing...the outdoor shower is perhaps one of the coolest things I've seen/experienced. Good job, Mickie!"
1133017,6233536,2013-08-04,4250927,Karthik,"The gypsy caravan was unlike any place I have ever stayed before. Mickie was very prompt in returning my phone call and set up my stay on a day's notice. The AC was turned  on prior to my arrival so that the caravan was cool enough to provide respite from the Texas summer heat. I would recommend this spot to fellow travelers, the attention to detail and hospitality is admirable."
1133017,6274934,2013-08-06,1518136,Melissa,The caravan is amazing! My husband and I really loved all the little details like the record player and cute pillows. We fell in love with the outdoor shower and miss it every day! Would totally go back! 
1133017,6323154,2013-08-08,2633012,Caroline,The airstream was fantastic and looked exactly like the photos! The outdoor shower was an excellent little touch to this backyard experience. We would love to comeback sometime!! 
1133017,6398351,2013-08-11,7331944,Misha,"Very cute space tucked away in East Austin. The Gypsy Caravan was nicely decorated and just a few minutes drive from downtown Austin and Soco. 
We enjoyed our stay!"
1133017,6545410,2013-08-16,7304506,Erin & Travis,The place is beautifully decorated and spacious. The clawfoot tub and outdoor shower are fabulous. It was a great all around experience. I would absolutely recommend it!
1133017,6732717,2013-08-23,1639663,Nicole,"The Gypsy Caravan was an absolute dream and perfect vacation escape. It's located in Mickie's backyard and is a lot more private than I was anticipating. The windows to her house are closed off so you essentially have this huge, well-landscaped outdoor space to yourself. You also have your own private entrance so you won't need to worry about disturbing anyone living in the house.

The decor was jaw dropping and I loved the outdoor seating area. The bathroom would get pretty hot since it wasn't near the AC, so I always opted for the very private outdoor shower (my favorite part). Getting clean while working on your tan at the same time -- it doesn't really get much better than that.

Many hours were spent listening to the vintage record player while relaxing on the deck with some Shiner Bock. I never saw Mickie during my trip, and the privacy is exactly what I needed (I'm sure she's a lovely lady though!). She really thought of everything -- dishes, towels, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc. was all there so you didn't have to worry about having to go to the store and purchase anything. 

I've recommended this place to all of my friends. It's a bargain, and  I loved living like a bohemian for a few days. Perfect stay!"
1133017,6818009,2013-08-26,6097343,Kirsten,"Even though I never met Mickie, I like her! She was  genuinely warm and friendly on the phone. She also responds to texts quickly. And as for the (email hidden)s like this are what make the Airbnb experience special. The Gypsy Caravan is a wonderful little gem tucked away in East Austin. The Airstream looked , in person, exactly as it did in the photos! Even though we were exhausted after attending a festival and arrived after 2 a.m., we spent a 1/2 hour looking at all the interesting features. No detail was overlooked. My boyfriend and I had plenty of space; The decor and finishing were inviting, cozy, and well thought out. There was even a record player with vintage records!! Anyone who has Hugh Masakela, Fleetwood Mac, AND Donald Byrd in their record collection definitely gets it!! My only regret is that I didn't use the outdoor shower. Next time!!"
1133017,6854287,2013-08-27,2107043,Amy,"We had a fabulous time staying here. We never actually met Mickie but you can tell that she put a lot of love and care into designing and laying out the gypsy caravan. The beds are comfy, there is ample power supply and everything went great. We will definitely come back to Austin and hope to stay here again. What a gem of a place!"
1133017,7034660,2013-09-04,1992148,Scott,"What a little treasure tucked away in East Austin. We really enjoyed our stay at the Gypsy Caravan. Our 11 month old daughter thought it was the coolest to just run up and down the middle of the trailer. The space is so thoughtfully put together, with so many details, even the chord to connect your iPhone to the stereo!

"
1133017,7162575,2013-09-09,7721009,Joshua,"Really cool spot in a convenient but quiet location. Airstream was super-cute, full of character, and a fantastic place to stay even during a super-hot week. Would definitely love to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
1133017,7228254,2013-09-11,8479447,Rachel,Mickie's retreat is absolutely perfect. Clearly so much thought was put into making the caravan comfortable and welcoming for guests. The backyard is ridiculously beautiful and I was hard pressed to leave. 
1133017,7292018,2013-09-14,202381,Jade,"OH MY GOD - I found the alternate universe I was looking for, and it exists in East Austin.  This thing is not just a weird Airstream....it transforms you to another time period.  One minute I'm my normal self walking into a gypsy caravan, the next - I'm lounging on the plush bed, surrounded by pillows and low lighting, in a dreamy landscape of French film music playing on the record player.  Tres chic!

Mickie has gone to extreme measures to pimp this thing out.  Seriously, the beds were comfortable, the kitchenette is great, AC works fantastic, and the bathroom - fahgettaboutit!  

I could live in this thing forever.  Do yourself a favor and book it for your next trip in Austin or a staycation!  Thanks Mickie for creating such a beautiful and enchanting space!"
1133017,7321142,2013-09-15,1193173,Brent/Natalie,"The Gypsy Caravan was absolutely lovely, totally cool and very cozy - we loved it!  We made use of the claw-foot tub, and also enjoyed the old records.  The interior design, from the decorating to the mosaic tile and the wallpaper, was outstanding.  The only drawback was that the location is near a busy road and it was a little noisy, especially in the morning, but with the air/heat on it didn't both us much.    The coziness, coolness and uniqueness totally outweighed any drawbacks, and we would definitely return."
1133017,7334236,2013-09-16,5529595,Heidi,"I booked the Gypsy Caravan, Airstream because it looked absolutely adorable for the birthday surprise I was planning for my friend. It WAS! Mickie was prompt with getting back to me and the caravan was easy to find, clean and equipped with everything we needed! Even a fantastic collection of records! This is the precise reason why I love Airbnb so much, to be able to have experiences like these!  
Thanks so much Mickie, for sharing your adorable place with us! 
Cheers, 
~Heidi U "
1133017,7788341,2013-10-03,6691359,Lydia,"The airstream is PERFECT! We stayed for an entire week and loved every moment of it. The airstream has everything you need to be comfortable and content. I fell in love with everything about it, I just know you will too! "
1133017,7977262,2013-10-11,5620987,Jean-Francois,"Thanks a lot Mickie for your hospitality!

We were on a rush to visit everything on our list in Austin and attend ACL festival at the beginning of our trip and you made our ''check in'' convenient and easy for us with our bags and everything.

There's nothing bad to say about this place really. It was beautiful,  clean, everything needed was there and Mickie was not far just in case. The experience was great and it is such a cool place to rent for a while. Hotel can't compete with place like that. I recommend to everyone who is browsing this page to rent that place. I felt home after a few minute !


"
1133017,8077794,2013-10-15,2079090,Katie,"This place is incredible! We booked it for the second ACL weekend, and despite the rainstorm, we were snug as a bug in this beautiful trailer. Mickie is very accommodating and has the spot decked out to the nines. The outdoor shower (heated water!!!) is a very nice touch as well. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Austin stay."
1133017,8515941,2013-11-04,6633147,Susan,"Great place, great host!

Mickie is a very friendly host, I had a great time staying in the Gypsy Caravan. If I ever go back to Austin, I hope to stay again.

The only downside is the traffic noise: earplugs fixed that 'problem'."
1133017,8607705,2013-11-07,6229450,Jon,"The Gypsy Caravan is full of charm and character and is located in a quiet neighborhood that's just 5 minutes from everything.  We enjoyed the cozy accommodations, quirky-chic style and the eclectic record collection, especially the jazz.  The air conditioning is ice-cold and the host is eco-concious with tips to conserve and reuse.

Mickie was a delight to work with and spent a few extra minutes prepping the place to really wow my wife (it was a surprise.)  She accommodated our very late arrival and early departure and made the entire experience simple and pleasant.  Definitely would stay again and recommend to a friend."
1133017,8621876,2013-11-09,5268364,Abi Saafir & Aston,"We had a lovely, wonderful stay in Mickie's Gypsy Caravan. It was my birthday and my girlfriend (soon to be wife) treated me to a week in Austin, plus tickets to WNYCs Radiolab live at the Bass Hall.  But our nights in the Caravan were by far the highlight of our stay. It was peaceful and cozy. The decor was magical. The lighting was beautiful and the colors were vivid. She left a lovely Stan Getz record on the record player, and incense to burn on the counter.

It got cold and it was raining when we got there. When we left the trailer and came back, Mickie had swapped the small heater for a big one, put down stepping stones so our feet wouldn't get wet, and improved the gate latch to make it easier to get in! She was more than helpful - she was Johnny on the spot. 

The bathroom puts most hotel bathrooms to shame. It's spacious and lovely: you feel like you're encased in a jewelbox. The claw foot tub is huge and comfy, and she left wonderful bubble bath out. Just don't take too long a shower because the water heater is tiny.

Mickie's Caravan is at the tip top of our list! We are fully prepared to move in with our fluffy cat. (Because every Gypsy Caravan needs a cat.) 

Thanks Mickie!

1133017,8685226,2013-11-12,7644885,Joanna,"Our stay gypsy caravan was like living on the inside of a genie’s lamp, so surreal! It was absolutely the perfect getaway!"
1133017,8737450,2013-11-14,9812917,Rhiannon,Mickie was a great host we really enjoyed our stay at the gypsy caravan! It proved to be a beautiful hidden gem in Austin.
1133017,8798855,2013-11-18,3730946,Stan,Mickie was very accommodating!  The Airstream was lovely and very well maintained.  Would gladly stay here again if I'm ever back in Austin!
1133017,8890439,2013-11-24,838778,Ann,"What can I say.... this was one of the most unique places we have ever stayed!  We loved all the vintage decor and eclectic mix that made this place so unique.  Even thou we were there on the coldest night of the season, the heater made things nice and toasty warm.  We will be back!  :-) "
1133017,8981014,2013-11-30,4587220,Maria,Mickie's airstream was super cute and unique. It made our amazing austin experience even better.  
1133017,9133418,2013-12-09,3283130,Corey,"My husband and I stayed in the Gypsy Caravan in December. The caravan was adorable! The decor was so well thought out and nicely designed. Mickie was so thoughtful by providing extra blankets and turning the heat on before we got there, and I was pleasantly surprised to have coffee and tea available, along with a Dean Martin record that we definitely made use of on the phonograph. While we never met her, she was an excellent host and was very responsive when we had questions prior to our stay. We look forward to staying here again when it is warmer and we can sit out on the porch!  "
1133017,9240102,2013-12-16,5096867,Liza,"We had an excellent little weekend away in the gypsy caravan. Our red eye flight arrived in past midnight and we were hungry, so we didn't arrive till pretty late. We had no problem getting in, the key was in the door waiting for us and the heat was on. It was such a cozy space to come back to on a winter weekend. The caravan is in the backyard of a main house, but we felt a lot of privacy. Good location. It was too cold to try the outdoor shower or hammock, but they looked like good summer fun. Thanks Mickie!"
1133017,9377971,2013-12-24,7097596,Adam,Mickie has established such a wonderful atmosphere in this place. Everything is incredibly intimate and well thought-out. I'll never forget my girlfriend's reaction as she walked up and down the aisle for the first time. The record collection and player is a great bonus to put on while you soak up everything. 
1133017,9604842,2014-01-03,2380395,Kyndal,"Great stay! 

Amazingly spacious, extremely eclectic and the artistry of the caravan itself is spectacular. Its truly a beautiful space both inside and out.

The kitchen counter and the bathroom in its entirety are particularly beautiful. The craftsmanship is just full of love and care, which generates throughout the space. 

It was an amazingly special New Years, I wouldn't have wanted to spend it anywhere else!
"
1133017,9711241,2014-01-06,10158174,Sam,"My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Gypsy Caravan. I cannot emphasize enough what a great job Mickie has done decorating the airstream. Our stay here was one of the highlights of our trip to Austin and made it truly special. Mickie was super responsive over text and messaging both leading up to the trip and once we were actually there. 
The location of the airstream isn't exactly in the middle of the action, but there are bus stops that are close and we didn't have much trouble getting around without a car. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mickie's airstream to a friend or to stay here again myself. Thanks, Mickie!"
1133017,9806841,2014-01-11,3655108,Kc,"Mickie has done an amazing job turning an old airstream into a quirky, comfortable, uniquely Austin space. That said, if you book the caravan, be prepared for a rustic experience. The bathroom is full-size and well-appointed, which is unusual for an airstream, but neither the sink nor the tub drain well, which makes it hard to keep them clean, and there wasn't enough hot water for 2 of us to shower. Also, the bed seems to be a recycled sofa bed, with a hard metal bar running down the middle, and every time one of us moved the other thought they were going to be catapulted out the opposite side. We also had some trouble communicating with Mickie prior to our arrival - not sure if that was a technical issue, but a couple messages went unanswered. She was very pleasant when we met briefly, but the caravan seems better suited to very independent travelers. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it as noted above, and maybe when there's a higher likelihood of sun, to be able to fully enjoy the yard where the airstream is parked."
1133017,9963968,2014-01-21,11214468,Samuel & Sarah,"Great escape from the hustle and bustle of life! She has done an amazing job renovating the inside of this little airstream to be a wonderful, cozy, accommodating, place to stay. I will say that the pics on the website make it look a little bigger than it actually is, but it was a perfect fit for my wife and I. The bed was a little bit lumpy due to it being a fold out and the tub inside is best fit for bath taking, not shower taking but again not a big deal. Overall this is a great place to stay for two people looking to escape! "
1133017,10076927,2014-01-29,1548655,Ceva,"As everyone else has noted, this is a one of a kind accommodation that was quite amazing! My daughter and I had a fabulous time in Austin and our stay in the caravan was a perfect complement to everything else we did and saw. We loved it. We are in awe at how she transformed this trailer into such a quaint, cozy, quirky and comfortable space. It was very cold while we were in Austin (even freezing rain) but with the heaters on it was warm inside the trailer. We didn't have any drainage problems as mentioned previously but did find there wasn't enough hot water for a bath. Worked fine for a quick hand held shower.  Its very private but if you are a light sleeper, bringing earplugs help with street noises. Mickey has a book with tips and suggestions for things to do and places to eat - we found her recommendations to be helpful - some great places to eat on that east side! I can't think of a better place to stay while in Austin - it simply captures the character of the city."
1133017,10106910,2014-01-31,11344792,Kendall,Had a great time in the Gypsy Caravan! My husband and I loved the decor and staying up late listening to music on the record player. Mickie did a great job renovating the airstream!
1133017,10147944,2014-02-03,3645185,Erin,"Staying in the airstream was such an amazing experience. I surprised my boyfriend with a trip to Austin for Christmas and when we arrive at the airstream he was just amazed that we were staying in such an awesome place. Mickie was great in answering all my questions and when e got there we ran into her and were able to say hello. Other than that she was great with giving us privacy while staying at her abode. 

Next time we stay in Austin we will be staying here.

1133017,10208323,2014-02-06,3887738,Louise,"I loved staying in this caravan! I am travelling for 7 weeks around the USA on my own and this was a beautiful treat from hostels for a couple of nights. It was so beautiful inside and I just chilled out listening to music and catching up on my emails. The wifi didn't quite reach for my phone so I had to go outside to send things, but other than that it was perfect."
1133017,10418658,2014-02-18,3591663,Leslie,"My partner and I had a dream weekend in the Gypsy Caravan. It was a gorgeous environment, the interior was extremely cozy, and I particularly enjoyed taking baths in the glorious tub with the windows open so I could hear the birds chirping! We left feeling completely rejuvenated. "
1133017,10598303,2014-02-26,12504570,Savannah,"Mickie was a wonderful host. Her gypsy caravan was absolutely magical. It was clean & well maintained. The area was the perfect location, as well. I will definitely be visiting and staying in the caravan again soon! I highly recommend staying here!  "

1133017,11060407,2014-03-18,12613724,Cindy,The airstream was great and charming. An easy stay for me and my friends and a great place to get inspired and work on songs for our next album.
1133017,11131200,2014-03-22,6187545,Vallier,"My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in the Gypsy Caravan.
It was funky + chic + very Austin.  The design was inspired.  
And we really appreciated the filtered water in the fridge and the record player and wifi.  Thank you for sharing your space!"
1133017,11217273,2014-03-25,11756072,Beth,We really enjoyed our stay at the Gypsy Caravan! It was very charming and beautiful. We loved the new/vintage sound system (with record player). Thank you Mickie!
1133017,11316315,2014-03-29,1812060,Jeremy & Kelsey,I really enjoyed getting to stay at the Gypsy Caravan! This airstream is so cool!
1133017,11447070,2014-04-03,7028673,Beth,"Mickey's Caravan was a perfect place for my family of three. The space is impeccably decorated. The yard is perfect for lounging around with a beer and is equally suited for a 2 year old to run around and look for bugs. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when visiting Austin. It is also very easy to get around this city from the caravan.  Thanks, Mickey it really was perfect."
1133017,11991532,2014-04-21,4556700,Mikhaela,"This little Airstream trailer was just a plain awesome place to stay in Austin and I recommend it HIGHLY. Mickie was a great and very responsive host and made us feel very welcome. We loved all the beautiful little design details, from the blue penny tiles in the big bathroom (with claw foot tub!) to the framed artwork and kitchen decor. It felt like living inside a little treasure chest, relaxing on the beautiful cushions and listening to the record player. The fold out bed was super comfy, too.

The porch with table and chairs was nice as well, and now has a sunshade, which you can't see in the photo (sadly the hammock is currently broken but there are comfy lounge chairs to take its place).

I noticed some other reviewers complained about noise from nearby Airport Boulevard, but coming from Brooklyn, it actually felt very quiet to us by comparison!

We do all our own cooking since my daughter has food allergies, and we managed just fine between the grill, the microwave, small fridge and the hot plate--I even made homemade tamales with some fresh masa I bought at a nearby tortilleria. 

We did have a car rental but the apartment is a short walk to Airport Boulevard where there are some grocery stores (not as nice as the ones you can drive to, but fine in a pinch). It's a very short drive to downtown and all the sights.

We were VERY sad to have to leave this beautiful little treasure box!"
1133017,12364867,2014-04-30,28973,Daniel,"Great stay in the East End!  Perfect spot for exploring the city, and a very cool place to hang out as well.  Pictures don't really do the place justice ...it is just fantastic!"
1133017,12649859,2014-05-07,3170967,Kristine,"What can I say, this Gypsy Caravan is so unique, lovely, cozy and classy that we immediately fell in love with it! Mickie did a great job by restoring it and she has a great eye for detail or more precisely just a fabulous taste. We didn´t meet her during our stay but she left a briefcase with lots of recommendations concerning restaurants, bars and other things to see in Austin. Thanks a ton for everything!"
1133017,13029802,2014-05-18,1866981,Jennifer,"Our stay at the Gypsy Caravan was great! The airstream is decorated really cute! There's a record player too! It was really cozy and private. Great place to stay to check out the fun spots on East 6th, which Mickie provides an awesome list of spots. "
1133017,13295437,2014-05-24,672643,Mike,"The Caravan was fantastic, really great design inside and surprisingly spacious. It was clean and well organized and only a quick drive to downtown Austin."
1133017,13339682,2014-05-26,11753308,Juliette,"We loved staying at the gypsy camper van! Mickie has made the interior very unique with a boho style. It is really comfortable and we were very grateful for the air con as the days were hot whilst we were there. The shower/bath is great. My boyfriend loved the record/iphone player! Good location, providing you have a car. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."
1133017,13652273,2014-06-02,11598008,Joe & Janie,"My wife and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary staying at Mickies Gypsy Caravan. We enjoyed the trailer and by the time we left we knew the area a lot better. The location was good and close that it took an average of 10-15 minutes to get to where we wanted to go which was downtown Austin,Congress street and 6th street. We were informed by Mickie of some good restaurants and found her hospitality to be great. If your looking for a simple comfortable stay I would recommend staying at the caravan and because there was no TV My wife and had that much of a better stay. Thank you Mickie, Joe and Janie "
1133017,13776484,2014-06-03,755054,Nina,"Mickie was such a wonderful host! Very accommodating and welcoming. The airstream was BREATHTAKING! I have never been inside one, this was my first experience. ALL I can say is WOW! Loved the vintage feel and how colorful it was! It was just right for three people; comfy cozy! Good location as well. "
1133017,13853795,2014-06-06,14727292,Paula,What a great place to stay!!  So charming and super close to everything.  Mickie was great as well!  I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone!!
1133017,13950369,2014-06-09,5329691,Kylie,"Gypsy Caravan was a great experience for our first visit to Austin. It was super cozy, private and decked out with gypsy-like decor. Its in a very convenient location - about 10 min from downtown and only blocks away from other neighborhood restaurants and shops. I recommend staying here for a truly unique experience."
1133017,14386306,2014-06-18,11848320,Kristin,"We just returned from our five night stay in the AMAZING Gypsy Caravan in East Austin! The airstream is beautifully decorated, clean and well kept. We had everything we needed to make our stay a fabulous one. Mickie stopped by to chat on our first day and she was fabulous and super nice. If you are looking for a fun and different way to stay in Austin, definitely check out the Gypsy Caravan!"
1133017,14681988,2014-06-24,13308568,Erin,"This space was perfect for me on my solo get away to Austin.  It was conveniently located to the airport (for a quick getaway on my last day) but also very easy to get back and forth to downtown.  The space was comfortable, cute and a dream.  From the records to the claw foot tub, I'll be looking forward to my return!"
1133017,14829098,2014-06-27,15773417,Missy,"Mickie's airstream is a complete gem tucked away in the perfect location on the East side. The decor, the music, the vibe and the set up was perfect. During our stay in Austin, we fell in love with the East side and all it has to offer. The neighborhood is bike friendly and beautiful. My favorite part about the airstream was the beautiful bamboo surrounding the windows for privacy but also makes you feel like you are in the wild. The set up was spacious, the furniture was beautiful and the bathroom was great. We even used the outdoor shower to rinse off after getting caught in the rain on our bikes. The porch was chill, the lighting was perfect, I could go on and on. Mickie was very easy to get in touch with and was the perfect host, leaving us to our business but available if we needed her. The bed had plenty of room and was very comfortable. The fridge was handy and the coffee maker a must. The tucked away closet space allowed for is to store all of our stuff to conserve space and it was easily accessible. Airbnb really does take traveling to a new level. I will recommend this vacation within a vacation spot, to all of my fellow travelers, friends and family. It was our pleasure to be able to experience this space. "
1133017,14976699,2014-06-30,4616495,Nina,"We didn't got to see Mickie but she seems like a great person, giving us a book with places to see and things to do. The caravan is wonderful and so is the yard. It's a great place to relax and hang out, getting away from the buzz of the city. The caravan is beautifully decorated with a great taste. The garden has everything you need to relax. This place was a great ending to our wonderful trip through the US."
1133017,15443599,2014-07-09,6189696,Terhi,"I had amazing time in Austin and the gypsy caravan was truly the highlight of my trip! It was so cosy, beautiful and very functional little space (actually I think it's much roomier than you might think!), with lots of privacy. I enjoyed some lovely coffee each morning sitting outside, listening to the chirping of birds and crickets - loved it! I would recommend this experience to anyone and would like to thank Mickie for being a fantastic host, always being a text message away if needed, a great communicator. Thank you, Mickie! :)  "
1133017,15684412,2014-07-14,12841,Stephanie And Ryan,"Staying at Mickie's was better than I expected. I expected to be roughing it a little more with bathrooms, etc, but everything really up to date and I might even consider it ""fancy.""  Her style is incredible and if you do stay here, I recommend checking out the other places Mickie has designed (and I think owns.)  The area was fairly close to everything we needed to get to and the bed was super comfortable. This fit my best friend and I perfectly for three days. We loved it. Highly recommended. "
1133017,16175759,2014-07-22,18171682,Grace,The caravan was so vintage and very pretty. We spent more time in the caravan than planned because it was so beatuiful and relaxing. We would love to stay again and would recommend to anyone who likes to be surrounded by art and music played on vinyl....!
1133017,16531677,2014-07-28,18585044,Renee',"This place SAVED and MADE my weekend! After missing out on the hotel my friends were staying at, I started looking for something nearby. I was thrilled to find something that was only minutes from downtown. Then, I got there. This place is beautiful, relaxing, and well stocked. It's way better than anything I could have hoped for. Did I mention the claw foot tub, coffee pot and record player/iPod connection?!? I'd really like to move in permanently.  

By the way, this was my first experience with AirB&B, and it was awesome! I'm looking now to book my next trip. "
1133017,17176299,2014-08-08,5121370,Margaret,"I often forget to write reviews but felt like I had this time! We had an awesome time in this beautiful gypsy caravan — it's surprisingly roomy. Mickie has put a lot of work to create a vintage-inspired home away from home, complete with AC to escape the heat and plenty of suggestions for nearby places to visit if you do feel like venturing out. She went out of her way to let us check in early when we had car problems - thanks for being a great host!"
1133017,17303287,2014-08-10,10918732,Tara,"Absolutely obsessed with the gypsy caravan.  I live in an Austin apartment and was looking for a place with a yard to have a dinner for my birthday.  Mickie's place was perfect, and all the details inside the airstream made the stay feel magical.  I loved listening to her old records.  I had a restful and lovely stay here.  One thing, if you are spending time outside, make sure to bring mosquito repellent.  "
1133017,17509429,2014-08-13,8591754,Emma,"Caravan was lovely, Mickie left us to our privacy which was great and we had a fun 3 nights there as part of our anniversary vacation. Fab neighbourhood too. Perfect!"

1133017,18152037,2014-08-22,20124623,Felicity,It was so cute and inviting. We loved the record player and how 60s themed it was. Really upset the outside shower did not work and there was no hammock. But over all good stay!
1133017,18202931,2014-08-23,18160046,Shannon,"The neighborhood is out a bit from the busy Austin life. It was a 15 minute drive to get downtown. The Caravan was cute. It was a little warm in the bathroom because it is cooled by a window air conditioner and the bathroom didn't get any of the air. A little hard to shower without feeling like you are going to get the floor sopping wet. We really liked it though, the place was just really well decorated. Good for a short stay because the beds aren't the most comfortable. "
1133017,18333638,2014-08-25,18823696,Taylor,Caravan was everything we expected. We never met the host but all the information provided made the stay a very positive experience.  Thank you very much Mickie
1133017,18409285,2014-08-26,17266253,Angela,"My husband and I stayed at the Gypsy Caravan for our Anniversary and it was just right!  Cute decor, cool AC, and comfy beds.  We especially enjoyed the record player and antique tub.  "
1133017,18722370,2014-08-31,11573797,Matthew,"The airstream was a nice getaway for our vacation in Austin. Just enough room for the 2 of us to get away for a few days. Although it is not really walking distance to the city on a hot day, there are many bus stops very close that will take you anywhere you need to go around the city. We very quickly learned the bus schedule and for $2 24 hours unlimited rides it was great to hop around and explore the city of Austin. Mickie provided a list of attractions to see as well. The Airstream was very clean and a unique experience. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with the lights and enjoying a glass of wine after a day of exploring. "
1133017,18868473,2014-09-01,15061507,Amanda,We had a wonderful time in the caravan. It was very clean and inviting. It was a great getaway in the city. We utilized most of our time reading and playing dominos. I'm already ready to go back. This place reminded me why Austin is such a wonderful place to begin with. 
1133017,19044088,2014-09-05,12407468,Samantha,"My best friend and I paid a visit to this little gypsy haven on our road trip through the south. It was a super unique and quaint experience. We were very comfortable once we got settled in. The A/C is great in the Texas heat! Love the small details Mickie put into this place. The rental is only a short drive to local hot spots in Austin. The neighborhood has the potential to feel slightly uncomfortable if you arrive at night, however we didn't encounter any problems. If you enjoy bohemian style and an have a desire for adventure check this airstream out! "
1133017,19323063,2014-09-10,19222043,Nicole,My friend and I had an amazing stay.  Air conditioner broke mid way threw the trip but Mickie replaced it very quickly. Would definitely stay there again!
1133017,19830974,2014-09-19,19700924,Rhonda,"The CARAVAN was a magical place, very cozy.  I wanted to hitch it to my car.... alas, it was a sweet spot.  I hope that my husband can join me next time and take advantage of the cool space. I loved the phonograph listening to some interesting albums. The rain was beautiful on the tin roof.  I felt sad leaving Austin!
 Thanks Mickie!
"
1133017,19945715,2014-09-21,20032212,Megan,"We had a wonderful stay at the Gypsy Caravan.  It seemed to be close to just about everywhere we wanted to go and on top of that it was very clean.  I kind of felt like I was camping but not.  I guess that's what they call ""glamping"".  The window unit worked great!  We were never hot.  We would definitely stay here again.

I recommend going to Whisler's Bar and Salt & Time, which is near by. 

Thanks, Mickie, for a wonderful little spot in Austin to stay."
1133017,20196806,2014-09-25,3341665,Melinda,"This was actually my first experience with airbnb, and I have to say, I'm hooked! I've never been a huge fan of hotels - they always seem so impersonal. Staying in Mickie's Gypsy Caravan was such a great time! It's just as amazing as it looks in her photographs. I was very happy with all the little personal touches - like, the coffee & coffee pot, record player, adorable & creative decor, a book with lots of great tips for visiting Austin and how clean, comfortable, and inviting the space was. I not only highly recommend this place for your next trip to Austin -- but I'm 100% hooked on Airbnb and plan to use it everywhere I go now! :) Thank you so much for making my first experience a perfect one!"
1133017,20825068,2014-10-06,19873234,Lyssa,"My partner was the one who stayed here during a business trip and she had a great time! Here is what she said: 
this hideaway gem is a super cute. It's definitely a nice place to land. Very cozy. Super cool design elements make it a neat little nest away from home. Total bonus is the super awesome lightening bugs! "
1133017,21279508,2014-10-14,18174486,Amber,"My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights over ACL weekend 2. Mickie immediately came to greet us as we arrived a bit early at check in. She was very nice and accommodating as we needed to drop our bags off early. We didn't see her the rest of the trip. Which we appreciated since we thought being in someone's backyard would lack privacy. You don't hear any noise from her house or the neighbors.

The trailer was beautiful. You can tell she really took great care when decorating and creating this getaway. We loved staying here! There is a small fridge to keep drinks cold, and a full sized shower with towels provided and great water pressure.

We were a bit farther from downtown/ACL than we anticipated. Which really is our own fault since we only rented bikes to get around. But next time, I would rent a car staying this far east of downtown. "
1133017,21459793,2014-10-18,2547799,Fanny,"This place was amazing. We loved our stay in the Caravan witch is really comfortable. I would defenetly stay there again. 
We did not meet Mickie because she was out of town, but she made sure everything was okay before our arrival. "
1133017,21679838,2014-10-21,21421936,Anna,I was in town to check out a grad school program at UT and decided to make it into a mini vacation with friends. We saw the caravan and knew it would be perfect. We were within ten minutes of campus and close to amazing restaurants. It was super comfortable and welcoming. Definitely a great first AirBnB experience. 
1133017,22228910,2014-11-02,19742980,Carrie,"The caravan is exactly what you would hope for - cozy, comfortable, and clean. The back yard is fully fenced-in and there is lots of foliage which makes for a very private and secure feeling, both inside the caravan and on the patio. It is a quick drive to many of the East Austin hotspots and there is plenty of parking on the street. This is a great location for anyone who wants privacy and the ability to come and go as you please. "
1133017,22445324,2014-11-06,20736626,Frank,Goede beschrijving vooraf over de entree en ingang caravan. Map met handige tips ivm restaurantjes in de buurt en austin
1133017,22580601,2014-11-10,7185012,Alexa,"Loved the gypsy caravan! Yard and deck were beautiful, green and private. The caravan was cozy and equipped with everything we needed. The inside is beautifully decorated and made my first stay in Austin feel extra special. Located close to airport and downtown. Mickie is responsive and helpful if you need anything. Would definitely stay again!"
1133017,22775833,2014-11-14,7056718,David,This was perhaps the best Airbnb i've ever visited. Everything in there is perfectly furnished and clean. And it's just so fun to stay in. Great bed/kitchen/bathroom inside and a great patio outside. Cannot recommend this enough and I almost want to come back to Austin again just for this.
1133017,22853045,2014-11-16,2229932,Kathee,"The Gypsy Caravan is AMAZING! I called the caravan home for two rainy days as a staycation/writing retreat (I live in Austin) and I couldn't have been more thrilled. The design details of the trailer are so well thought out, everything you need is right there in arms reach, and aesthetically pleasing, to boot. And I loved the location. East Austin is such a fun part of town, and close to everything you need to make your stay in Austin wonderful. I am already thinking about my next retreat to the gypsy caravan! "
1133017,23045240,2014-11-21,3954783,Andie & Lauren,The caravan is even cooler in real life than in the pictures.  We had such an enjoyable stay and this will definitely be my go-to spot for staying whenever I have any friends visiting. Mickie is super flexible and made our stay here so simple. Also the beds are very comfy!
1133017,23201066,2014-11-24,19692889,Joanna,"Cute Caravan, love the theme. Cozy but plenty of room for a couple maybe a few people. I've stayed in quite a few of these and this was the 1st one I've been in with a full size bathroom including claw foot full size tub. Pretty rad. Mickie communicated promptly and politely and accommodated my needs and wants. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks"
1133017,23378553,2014-11-30,18683038,Rachel,"The Gypsy Caravan was my husband and I's first Airbnb experience and we loved it! Mickie was a very good host. The place was super clean, comfy, and insanely well decorated. Even though the airstream is technically in Mickie's backyard, it still felt incredibly private and secluded. The record player was very fun as well. :) I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a getaway. Thanks Mickie! "
1133017,23754767,2014-12-09,23396120,Colleen,Had a perfect stay at the Gypsy Caravan!!! Space was exactly as pictured and described. Space was cleaned to perfection and impeccably designed and appointed. Stayed with my best friend for 3 days and it was a cozy and lovely space to return to after our Austin adventures each night. It was super private and charming. Highly recommend. Had a great time listening to Fleetwood Mac and Dean Martin on the record player. Everything you need for a great stay is outfitted in this awesome airstream. Such unique and personality-filled accommodations was a perfect match with such a cool and unique city. Thanks so much for such a great stay!!!
1133017,24080371,2014-12-19,2773153,Sarah,Can't say enough about this place except wish we could have stayed longer. Every single detail is gorgeous and so much fun. Made us want an airstream! 
1133017,25457109,2015-01-16,8382043,Travis,"Though we never met Mickie, she gave us all the guidance we needed to have a great time at the Gypsy Caravan. Funky, cool and full of character, we loved our two nights in the airstream. "
1133017,25616899,2015-01-20,8241727,Graham,"Beautiful trailer!  The gold design on the ceiling is especially cool, as is the blue bathroom tile.  A cozy spot with a nice patio to have breakfast in the sun. Mickie was responsive when we had little questions about check in and Wi-Fi, though she was unsuccessful in solving the Wi-Fi issue (my guess is that the router was reset and also reset the password, but she couldn't figure out the new one). Bed was decently comfortable but has a pretty bad squeak that will wake up your partner if you get up in the night to use the bathroom.  Regardless, really enjoyed our stay!"
1133017,25830041,2015-01-26,6414338,Julia,"The gypsy caravan was beautiful, fun, welcoming, and homey. We had a great time.  Hot water was limited. "
1133017,26590344,2015-02-16,2293126,Stephanie & Henry,Mickie's caravan was amazing- it was as pictured and had everything you could possibly need.  10-15 mins drive away from everything- extremely convenient location. Thanks Mickie!
1133017,26875569,2015-02-21,26654725,Sara,I always wanted to travel in an airstream and this was the next best thing- staying in one.  It was well appointed and very comfortable.  An incredible bargain for a part of Austin I am very fond of- the East side.  The pictures do it justice.  I never met the owner- but she offers you a great opportunity to stay in a true gem and an incredibly price too!
1133017,27130998,2015-02-26,17309937,Matthew,Amazing place to stay felt so at home and comfortable really clean and tidy and quiet and mickie was great didn't see her much but it just meant it felt more like my own little airstream 
1133017,27272584,2015-03-01,13833310,Stephanie,"The Gypsy Caravan was super cute! This was a great location since we were attending a wedding at Springdale Farms down the road too! 

It was very difficult to communicate with Mickie. I emailed and texted her asking about getting into the backyard since we'd be arriving around 1:00AM by way of Uber and she never responded back.  It was a little unsettling that a host cannot spend 2 minutes and respond to a quick email or text. 

If you are a light sleeper, this caravan is NOT for you! The branches from the trees behind the caravan were scratching the windows all night and the bed needs some WD-40. Every time we'd turn in the middle of the night, the bed would squeak very loud. All in all, it was fine for the quick weekend we were there. Much better than a standard hotel but not sure I would recommend this to a friend, although.... it was super cute! "
1133017,27497230,2015-03-06,1536258,Michelle,"My boyfriend & I loved calling the caravan our home for our three day trip to Austin. It was comfortable, clean & surprisingly well equipped for a compact space! We loved coming home after exploring the city & listening to records. Every detail of the trailer was truly unique. I wish the weather wasn't so cold so we could've made use of the beautiful porch! Would highly reccomend staying here for anyone who visits Austin. "
1133017,27921586,2015-03-15,3482359,Katie,"We had a Wonderful stay at the Gypsy Caravan, an absolutely perfect little oasis for a home base in Austin! Highly recommended! "
1133017,28203016,2015-03-20,2604148,Ian,"Loved staying at the Gypsy Caravan. It's a truly unique space and is very comfortable and clean. The record player, bathtub, outdoor shower and patio area are especially nice touches. 
We didn't meet Mickie in person but she was very responsive and accommodating when we had questions via text. We loved having privacy and space.
One thing to know is that the airstream can give 50 gallons of hot water at a time (every 30 min) which is plenty, but it is smart to use the hot water only when needed.  
Overall highly recommend the gypsy caravan! A very special and comfortable experience. "
1133017,28589977,2015-03-26,24562668,Samuel,"Our time here was great, the caravan is a fully equipped, very comfortable stay and we were very glad to have had it as part of our trip to Austin."
1133017,28657102,2015-03-28,28025816,Bridgett,"Had an amazing time in the Gypsy caravan! The space was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and we had access to everything we needed. We did not meet Mickie, but she was very responsive to the messages we did send. She has done an amazing job at creating a beautiful, private space and has several resources for her visitors to look over in the caravan to help acclimate to Austin!"
1133017,28931475,2015-04-01,17076395,Bam,"Mickie is a great hostess!! The caravan is just like the photos very quaint.  It came with everything you could think of from a cork screw to lemons for your tea or water. 

Located close to just about everything I highly recommend this hidden secret. "
1133017,29181595,2015-04-05,3540161,Christian,The caravan was great.  Highly recommend!
1133017,29975517,2015-04-15,23542855,Krystina,"Initially we were very excited at the idea of staying in an airstream, unfortunately I didn't consider that this would entail so many critters. 

We came across 2 roaches and a snail in the bathroom within the first few hours of our stay. 

We left the Airbnb without staying even one night (we booked for 4). Although initially the host said she would discount the first night she then decided not to refund us at all. This made it a very costly trip for us as we then had to find other accommodations. In my opinion, the host was quite defensive when we told her about the 'bug' issue. 

Lesson learned: you are at your hosts mercy for any sort of refund, should the place be below standards. 


"
1133017,30602354,2015-04-25,26909679,Stephanie,We enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend this to others. Description was accurate.  Good location in Austin. Only negative is that it backs up against a busy street.
1133017,30953705,2015-04-29,3541901,Brittani,"Great experience! I stayed in the gypsy caravan during my birthday. It was wonderful. Comfy, great records (and radio) to listen to, cozy little kitchen space. Mickie and her mother were very sweet - I would love to stay here if I come back to Austin in the near future! "
1133017,31179752,2015-05-03,9761167,Jonah,"I had a wonderful stay in the beautiful gypsy caravan! The location was ideal. It was 5-10 minutes drive from some great local bars, restaurants and breweries, and only 15-20 minutes drive to downtown and Barton Springs. There's a Walgreens a couple of blocks away in case you forgot some toiletries. It was on a quiet neighborhood and you have the backyard to yourself. Beautiful deck with string lights and a grill if you'd like to cook-out. The airstream is clean and spacious. You have an ac unit and a heater to keep you at a comfortable temperature. There's a fridge to keep your food and drinks cold.  Everything I needed seem to be available--cups, cutlery, coffee, towels. What I enjoyed the most is the beautiful ambience of the space! It is wonderfully decorated and it put me in the right mood to relax and be inspired--exactly what I needed for my time off.  Mickie is a wonderful host. She is thoughtful, communicative and warm. Thank you for a beautiful stay!"
1133017,31633374,2015-05-08,18106897,Elyssa,The Airstream was incredibly cute and the outdoor shower was one of the highlights of our trip! The easy side access was convenient and comfortable. It didn't feel like we were in a back yard. Our privacy was respected and I was highly recommend this place to experience Austin. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again next time I visit. 
1133017,31869162,2015-05-11,13890290,Paulina,Stayed here because it was very close to Carson Creek Ranch which was hosting Austin Psych Fest. Lots of privacy despite being attached to a home's backyard - the outdoor shower was awesome :) 
1133017,32235587,2015-05-16,563165,Sara And Sierra,lovely stay - really great list provided by the host full of fun things to do in austin! enjoyed our stay.
1133017,32836510,2015-05-22,26149192,Sophie,Had such a lovely time staying at the caravan - the perfect end to a busy holiday in the states. It was great to spend time somewhere so tranquil! 
1133017,33162585,2015-05-25,30939616,Daniel,"I wasn't able to actually meet Mickie, but her place was just as awesome as the pictures. It's a cozy, and comfortable spot and I would recommend the experience. "
1133017,33688854,2015-05-31,13410543,Rebecca,"We had such a lovely stay in the Gypsy Caravan!  It was perfect for the two of us, so comfortable and lovingly designed and decorated. Mickie was a great host for a truly unique Airbnb experience."
1133017,34760911,2015-06-11,35562538,Parker,The host canceled this reservation 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1133017,34965076,2015-06-14,20871703,Matthew,"Mickie was a excellent host, everything was ready for my girlfriend and I when we arrived. Was able to check in early which was great. Caravan was a totally unique experience. Was a wonderful creative space, great location, and was prefect for our stay in Austin. Felt totally taken care of, no worries. "
1133017,35474516,2015-06-19,9736643,Abby,"Check in was a breeze, as usual! Mickie was incredibly responsive and the the yard definitely had a face lift since my last visit. Always a delight to stay at the gypsy caravan. "
1133017,36089510,2015-06-25,7042350,Emily,They Gypsy Caravan was an absolutely perfect place to stay in Austin! I brought my niece here for a few days as a fun little getaway and we had an absolute blast. I kept the fact that we were staying here a total secret so when we arrived she was completely surprised and totally loved it! The caravan is just as cute in person as it is in pictures and worked perfectly for the two of us. I would definitely stay here again if I ever came back to Austin.
1133017,36693295,2015-06-30,18005728,Brandi,We had a great time! The caravan was clean and comfy. A+++!!
1133017,37307835,2015-07-06,29412653,Mackenzie,"The Gypsy Caravan is adorable, cozy, and very centrally located! Mickie was very responsive!"
1133017,37958000,2015-07-12,30909106,Kaitlyn,It was a great experience. The inside was just like the pictures depicted. We loved the claw foot bathtub. Everything was very nice. And the location was great. We were about 10-15 minutes from all the hot spots. Thank you!
1133017,38304895,2015-07-14,35822845,Tim,The Gypsy Caravan is awesome. It is a perfect way to spend a few days in ATX! Thanks for a wonderful experience Mickie!
1133017,38839466,2015-07-19,26435754,Sarah,"Although we didn't get to actually meet our host, the stay was unbelievable. We arrived later in the evening, and the airstream was all set and ready for us. It was very cozy and perfect for our adventurous weekend. The decor was amazing and made us feel like we experienced something unique. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks for the wonderful experience. "
1133017,39186966,2015-07-21,3783788,Macayla,"Such a beautiful eclectic hideout right in the city! We had such a fun time staying here, and enjoyed the privacy! :)"
1133017,40507588,2015-07-31,38708552,Gillian,Awesome tiny house with perfect Austin vibes.
1133017,40882857,2015-08-03,18147936,Christi,"The gypsy caravan was a great place to stay. Big enough for two people, be sure to leave ac on while gone, the location really isn't within walking distance anywhere but we ubered and were fine. "
1133017,41297256,2015-08-05,35831172,Joshua,"As this was my wife and my first experience with Airbnb, the Gypsy Caravan was a refreshing escape from a typical hotel that might've stayed at otherwise. The airstream has an immediately cozy feeling to it when we arrived and saw the cozy patio and string lights that we were able to leave on for when we later returned that night. Incredibly charming.
The inside continued the cozy charming trend with a unique, throwback feel in every detail. We found the record player right of the bat, and immediately started playing the record that it was pre-loaded with. This is something I would definitely recommend to anyone as their first step, as the classic hits just added to our experience as we explored the rest of our vacation getaway home. 

Everything was as described in the venue description, and we're so glad that this was our first Airbnb experience, as it was such a pleasant and memorable stay. It really complimented our overall visit to Austin. We would absolutely be happy to stay here again In the future!"
1133017,41403821,2015-08-07,36753931,Zulean,"Mickie's Caravan was awesome and very adorable. For people trying to get a good sense of Austin, this is the place to stay. You can tell she has put a lot of work into every detail from the bathroom ceiling, the lighting, and even an old fashioned yet modern record player. It was easy to find the location, no further than about 10 minutes from the center of downtown, and had great little restaurants in the area. Mickie had everything ready for us and even a binder for suggestions as to where to go and what places to visit. Great place to stay at!"
1133017,42880049,2015-08-16,37090020,Janelle,"The Gypsy Caravan was just as described and portrayed in the photos.  Very cute, very cozy!  We did not see the host at all, but she left a few snacks, including coffee.  We did not get to make use of the porch or the outdoor shower - honestly it was just too hot while we were there!  We definitely enjoyed our stay, and we hope to come back when it is a bit cooler to enjoy the porch."
1133017,43393574,2015-08-19,38304188,Coy,"A wonderfully stress-free visit. Clean, comfortable, and absolutely beautiful design. Such a uniquely Austin experience. I highly recommend for s young couple looking for a unique getaway. "
1133017,43786229,2015-08-22,32221441,Matthew,The gypsy caravan was a unique experience. Very private and the outdoor shower was awesome.
1133017,44392554,2015-08-25,38643549,Steve,"Great place, and an easy drive to the South Bank."
1133017,44922155,2015-08-30,31683956,Jenna-Lee,"The caravan was absolutely perfect. It was so beautiful and homey. You can tell a lot of work went in to it. That bath was a dream, so cozy. I have never spent so much time at my homestead while on vacation! Walking distance to lots of cool places too. Would highly recommend."
1133017,45569456,2015-09-04,38118254,Jordan,Mickie's space was both beautiful and inspiring. Both my BF and I not only loved but appreciated all the hard work put into each part of the caravans design. The overall feel is enchanting from the moment you walk through the gate. Thank you for having us we look forward to visiting again with you. 
1133017,46070455,2015-09-07,27169633,Aaron,Gypsy caravan is located in a nice quiet area within close distance to many conveniences. Good vibes abound in Gypsy caravan.
1133017,46499222,2015-09-11,21003999,Kate,This was a really fun place to stay and fairly close to the action in East Austin. We didn't have a car and managed to get around fine by bike and walking. The space was surprising spacious and comfortable for two people. The outdoor shower was a plus! 
1133017,47185683,2015-09-16,40729605,Cat,"This was a great place. Mickie gas dine an amazing job decorating it and making it really homely.

It's a little out of town, but easy to uber everywhere or use the taxi company across the street. 

Loads of on street parking - it's a very quiet and wide street so no concerns about leaving the car there.

We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay."
1133017,47434806,2015-09-18,44113140,July,Unique place to stay! Fits a couple comfortably. Not far from downtown. 
1133017,47652411,2015-09-21,37663095,Ashley,"The Gypsy Caravan was exactly as described and perfectly cozy! The neighborhood was a bit sketchy, but the Gypsy Caravan was a little hidden haven."
1133017,47976096,2015-09-22,37916908,Allison,Very funky & fun place to stay! Great location. Loved the outdoor shower!
1133017,49765915,2015-10-06,5831962,Kellie,"The camper is a very cute and rustic. We found that is was more like glamour camping, and if that is something you are looking for it will be perfect. If you are looking for comfort more like an apartment or hotel, this may not be the place for you. There are numerous added touches such as coffee and records. The outdoor shower is fun, however make sure to bring flip flops as it is a bit a jungle out there. The full bed is a pull out, and not the most comfortable, however we didn't have an issue with it. The bathroom is cute, but it is the most rustic part of the camper. We experienced an ant infestation and a hairy shower. The location is also great, and we had zero issues getting around. Overall, we had a lovely time and would give this a 3.5/5 stars."
1133017,50611638,2015-10-13,28971949,Lindsay,"My boyfriend and I selected the Gypsy Caravan for our trip to Austin for our two year anniversary.  Coordinating check-in was a breeze, and Mickie had everything ready for us.  There were a lot of great amenities like cups, plates, dishes, flatware, coffee and creamer in the fridge.  The Caravan was adorable, we loved all of the little elements that crafted its one-of-a-kind character (all those pillows!  We totally made a fort :P).  

The exterior photo of the airstream seems a bit outdated - but I mean that in THE BEST way, as a lot of vegetation has come in over time.  I LOVED the bamboo outside the windows - I don't know what it is, but it was adorable.  

We really enjoyed our stay here.  It seems like everything in Austin is 15 minutes away, and the Gypsy Caravan is in a quiet neighborhood with street parking.  We didn't see our host at all during our four night, five day stay, and we appreciated the privacy.
: )

The only warning I would have is for tall people.  My boyfriend is six feet tall, and he felt like a giant in this place.  Anyone much taller might have to watch their head while moving about the airstream.  Also - we would be out pretty much all day and turned the air conditioning off, and it was HOT during our stay in Austin.  It would take a few hours for the trailer to cool off at night, so maybe just turn the unit's temperature up when vacating, as opposed to off.

My boyfriend kept commenting on how cute and efficient everything was, and how impressed he was by everything the Caravan had.  One of the ""weirder"" things we did during our first-time stay in Austin, and the Gypsy Caravan made for a very unique and romantic stay.  Solid A : )"
1133017,50917104,2015-10-16,22890563,Spencer,"Great place - would recommend. Didn't actually meet Mickie but he explained everything clearly. 

Gets a bit hot during the day without the fan+aircon on but, that's because it's a metal caravan in Texas. At night it's perfect temperature. "
1133017,51624603,2015-10-22,43939516,Britnie,"We aren't huge fans of the standard, boring hotel room - we try to stay at a unique place when we travel; the Gypsy Caravan was definitely that! Mickie's communication was fantastic, and she even got the pad ready for us early (our flight got in around 9:30 in the morning). Everything was set up beautifully, and there were plenty of pillows and blankets to boot. We chose not to rent a car (we try to avoid that whenever possible), and never found ourselves far from a bus stop. The neighborhood was generally very quiet, and felt very comfortable walking around both during the day and at night. We both loved the Gypsy Caravan, and our first trip to Austin - so much so, we are considering it as a place to move! Very highly recommended - you won't be disappointed!

Thank You, Mickie!"
1673168,20458326,2014-09-29,2007928,Erin,We had a wonderful time in Brooke's home. The decorations were as great looking as they are in the photos and the place was spotless and comfortable. We especially loved the little studio bedroom which had the same awesome decorations -- even that cool chandelier. The house had a lot of little touches we appreciated -- it even came with four bikes that were handy to take for a quick ride to the best breakfast taco truck we've ever been to. Thank you Brooke! 
1673168,21303649,2014-10-14,11300020,Taylor,"Thanks to Brooke, we had a perfect stay in Austin. The house exactly as described (if not better) and the location was great. It was definitely a 5-star stay and can't wait to go back to Austin again. "
1673168,22599970,2014-11-10,14138004,Matthew,A beautiful little cottage situated a short cab ride from South Congress. Brooke was also extremely helpful in quickly sorting out some hiccups we had with the wifi. Would definitely stay again. 
1673168,24610405,2014-12-31,15463436,H,This is a great listing for a private retreat or a group get away. We stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. Everything is exactly as described and the location was right in the middle of all the things we planned to do in Austin. Based on this property I would rent any of the properties managed by this company. 
1673168,26072907,2015-02-02,2822352,Marko,"This house is the perfect representation of Austin: a combination of both rustic and modern amenities, and exactly what we wanted for our weekend trip for our group of 5.  Perfectly located in the SoCo area, many of the restaurants and coffee shops we wanted to check out were literally 2-3 minutes away.  We also received automated notifications that make checking in and checking out a total breeze, eliminating the need for any extensive back and forth messaging.  Not only a great house, but a great location!"
1673168,26389292,2015-02-11,1846995,Erin,"Brooke was a perfect host, the house was spotless, exactly as the photos and I felt so at home that I extended my stay. I've been coming to Austin since 2005 and know my neighborhoods, having the bicycles was clutch! I would return to this property and happily recommend to friends, if you find yourself staying here definetly take advantage of the soaking tub and screened in porch! "
1673168,27325925,2015-03-02,8224460,Sara,Brooke and Amy were both very welcoming and accommodating.  They had prompt and helpful communications with me both before and during my stay.  I loved the house! It's so very South Austin! I can't wait to stay there again. Overall a 5 star experience.
1673168,28335746,2015-03-22,9075761,Lacey,"Everything you see in the pics is everything you get plus more! Was very easy to find, quiet neighborhood. About 20mins from the airport and 10mins from Downtown so the location was awesome. Very clean, easy to use everything, TV was great had Netflix plus more! The swing in the tree and the blue porch swing are just 2 of many homey touches. Had a problem with the bathroom lights, Brooke got on the phone with me and walked me through the whole thing! Will definitely stay here next time im in austin :) "
1673168,31429342,2015-05-05,633083,Meg,"This was my second time staying at one of Brooke's properties, and it won't be the last. This adorable house had tons of charm and was ideal for our group. Thoughtfully outfitted, extremely clean, and very welcoming, this property makes a wonderful home base in Austin. Having such an organized and responsive host on top of that makes for a perfect vacation experience! "
1673168,32507037,2015-05-19,2137461,Dan,"The house was awesome. Perfect location with lots of great food nearby and quick access to downtown. The house itself was also quite nice. Nicely furnished with cool but comfortable furniture. Well stocked kitchen with everything you'd need to cook meals. 

Logistics were also well managed. The place was spotlessly clean, and key retrieval was easy.

Thanks for a great weekend!"
1673168,32937230,2015-05-23,26763569,Christopher,This place is awesome! Go for the furrito... Faux fur bedspreads have never been so cool.
1673168,33224726,2015-05-26,26902421,Nancy,The house was very clean and nicely appointed; looked just like the photos online. Great having bicycles at our disposal—enjoyed being able to ride around the neighborhood. Coffee and some of the basic essentials were already there which was nice. Loved spending time in the screened-in porch. Would definitely recommend. 
1673168,33896942,2015-06-02,2693192,Katrina,"This house is amazing! I stayed with four other ladies for a girls weekend, and could not have been happier! The decor was great, everything was clean, and Brooke was very responsive and helpful.  Location is close to everything we wanted to do, and we felt very safe. I recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
1673168,38500214,2015-07-16,7287735,Faith,"My family and I absolutely loved the house! The way it's decorated is super cute and chic, creating an environment that was very fun and Austin like. In addition to this, the house was very clean and well taken care of. The wifi there was very fast, Netflix was available, and everything there was just perfect. "
1673168,39926887,2015-07-27,6348513,Annie,"Seamless, lovely experience at this clean and very well decorated home. Great for a family weekend in Austin. Everyone had their favorite spot: screened-in porch, tree swing, private studio in back. Would not hesitate to stay here or at another of Brooke's properties again. "
7578010,45291808,2015-09-01,40118950,Ninoska,"It has been a nice and comfortable stay with Raymond and Cortnie. I felt welcome and had all what I needed. The room is cozy with a private bathroom, walking closet, apple TV and access to Netflix. The shared space included the kitchen and living room. Great for cooking and eating at your leisure. I had my own space in the fridge and pantry. The place has also an outdoor pool, a gym, business center.. for all needs! 
There are several places to eat and shopping walking distance.  Downtown is just 10 minutes away by car. And 5 min walking is the ladybird board walk around the river! Really nice for a walk at dawn.
I stayed for almost a month and had a great time. Recommend for sure!"
7578010,45903706,2015-09-06,38779931,Eric,"Raymond's apartment went beyond our expectations!  Very nice, modern space with all the amenities of a luxury hotel (pool w cabanas, Lounge area, etc).  Room and private bath appeared brand new and furnish with great taste. My only regret is I would love to have had more time to chill at the pool!  We had a busy schedule visiting people and places in downtown Austin but Raymond's pad was the perfect base camp!"
7578010,46231905,2015-09-08,39246695,Gerardo,"The place is amazing. 5 stars in everything.  From the location to the amenities in the apartment complex, everything was amazing. Our room and bathroom, the kitchen and the living space area was very clean and nicely furnished. Raymond was very nice and responsive throughout our stay. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if this apartment is available for our next visits."
7578010,46677876,2015-09-12,16851190,Elisabeth Et Damien,"Nous avons passé un très bon séjour chez Raymond et Cortnie. L'appartement est situé dans une résidence très moderne et agréable à vivre non loin du centre ville et du parc Zilker (env 10-15min en voiture). En ce qui concerne la chambre, elle est spacieuse avec salle de bain privée en accès direct et dressing. Le lit est très confortable on a plus envie d'en sortir! L'on peut dire que c'est propre même si des maniacs pourront quand même trouver des saletés notamment dans la cuisine (graisse).  Nous avons notre indepedance (rentrer et sortir quand on veux) et l'on peut utiliser la cuisine. Nous conseillons vivement cet appartement, n'hésitez pas plus longtemps. "
7578010,46974923,2015-09-14,30097885,Shannon,"Raymond was an amazing host! First time using AirBnb too, and the experience could not have been better. The apartment is impeccable, in a great location and the building itself has much to offer. 

Raymond is incredibly prepared for guests, providing a guidebook with everything a visitor could possibly need. He went above and beyond my expectations."
7578010,47843512,2015-09-21,9671534,Jenica,"My husband and I were in town for a festival and a weekend away. We really enjoyed staying at Raymond's place. It was like a hotel room with privacy, comfort, and ease. We were within walking distance of several restaurants and the river. There was plenty of parking, and we didn't have to worry about our car for the entire weekend. We hope Raymond's place is available the next time we're in Austin!"
7578010,48344784,2015-09-25,43088978,Marina,The hosts were very hospitable and friendly and the room is very clean and beautiful. I highly recommend!
7578010,48480356,2015-09-26,44045935,Robert,"Raymond was an excellent host and guide through the night in Austin. Hist place was tidy and simply luxorious for the small price. 
I do highly recommend his place!
Cheer up, you're good!"
7578010,48804699,2015-09-28,43281306,Chanhdy,"Must stay at Raymond's place if you are in Austin. Apartment is very clean, luxurious, and centrally located. My first stay with air bnb and the experience was stellar. From the little details such as netflix, travel guidebook, chocolate treats... you can tell Raymond wants to provide his guest with the best stay. Thank you Raymond!"
7578010,49618340,2015-10-05,39961346,Genesis,"Stayin at Raymond's place was exactly what we expected if not more. It was centrally located only a few miles from Zilker Park, and 6th street. We actually used bikes the whole weekend and it was about a 25 minute bike ride to Zilker park and about the same to 6th street. This helped us save money on cabs and Ubers since that weekend was ACL and the prices were up the roof (from 50-100 dollars per ride). The apartment complex is also near a Walgreens, Chipotle, a food truck park, and other restaurants. The apartment complex itself was exactly as described. Nice pool, nice gym, and a pool table with complementary coffee. The apartment was shared with Raymond and his girlfriend which by the way are so nice and resourceful! However, we had our own private restroom (with some extras like shampoo, soap towels) and were never bothered by them, we actually enjoyed their company. So yes, the apartment is just as described, if not better. So we will definitely stay here again whenever we come back to Austin! "
7578010,50216492,2015-10-10,44932116,Joseph,"Raymond's place is...Outstanding! Raymond's place is Beautiful! Raymond's place is Chic! Raymond's place, is as good as good gets! He has a beautiful room for you in a very beautiful apartment...that feels like you are staying in a very awesome Suite in a hotel...like the ""W"" or The Standard. He has a cool little-booklet, that informs you about all the things that you may have questions for/about...it's right there. You have an extremely comfortable bed with super-soft-cozy pillows. You have an entire walk-in closet to get your things hung up on hangers or up on shelves. You have a big-beautiful bathroom with big towels. The apartment is chic/airy/fresh, with the vibe that makes you feel like your in the cool-chic part of Austin. Raymond is extremely nice, helpful, informative and he'll make sure that your stay is enjoyable as he can possibly make it. This is a gem of a place for AirBnB'ers. It's the type of place that makes (one) want to give that 5+ on a 5 star scale.  I'm definitely a fan of Raymond's...and if I am ever traveling to Austin again, I would be hoping to book his place for my stay. Thanks Ray....I appreciated everything."
7578010,50629959,2015-10-13,39860865,Michael,Raymond was an amazing host. My friend and I stayed there 3 nights for ACL and couldn't have asked for more. The apartment was very well kept and the complex had many accommodations. Raymond was very friendly and approachable.

It was super cozy, inviting, and clean! :)  There was plenty of space for everyone and my guests loved it too!  Great location made it easy to get to and from downtown area too. I highly recommend this place and would totally rent it again when I need to host another group of visitors! :) "

I highly recommend staying here. The place is really nice and clean. Not to mention the beds are super comfortable. My friends absolutely loved it here. It really felt like home, they didn't want to leave. I would stay here again in a heart beat!"

My friends had to stay an extra night cos our car got towed & Jason was very patient and understanding cos we couldnt get enough cash to pay the service fee. He figured everything out for us very smoothly & the house was just a perfect place to stay in and had everything we needed.  My friends & I would like to thank Jason from the bottom of our hearts again for being very very patient with us & hope to do business with him again when SXSW comes around. We appreciate you. 
7869224,46210938,2015-09-08,40812531,Stephanie,"We stayed at this rental property over Labor Day weekend. It was close to the highway and near downtown. It's a cute small home, perfect for couples and families. It is a rental property, so they have everything labeled and the basic utilities needed (dishes, silverware, glassware, pans and a coffee maker). 

The only issue we had with the property was swiftly taken care of by the property manager, Jason. The AC was not working properly in the house and by evening on the first day, we were pretty hot. Jason was responsive to texts, calls about the situation and offered to get someone out to the house in the AM. We actually changed out the filter and it started working so we didnt need anyone to come out. Jason also refunded us the first day as well, which was an appreciated gesture given the circumstance. 

I'll also make note that even though its in the listing that there is no cable, we didn't anticipate this. I must of not read it correctly. While we were out, Jason came by and fixed it to where we were able to watch some college football games. Much appreciated! "
7869224,46972738,2015-09-14,43219274,Ricardo,"Jason is a great host, he was very helpful and everything went pretty smoothly, the place is very nice and clean, although the neighborhood seemed to be close to some sketchy looking places. "

She has two parking spaces right out front.  The north branch of Hopdoddy is just a block down if you want great hamburgers.  Ten minutes by car from downtown.  We were very happy there."

It was like having a personal guide to the town which was great. The house was cute and homely with everything we needed. I was with a group of others who stayed in various houses throughout Austin and all were envious of our house. I'd definitely stay again!

Sadly, the weather was rainy over the weekend so we did not get to use the backyard but it looks like the ideal spot for a BBQ! I would recommend this spot for anyone looking to spend some time in Austin! The location, amenities, and host are all top-notch! Thanks for a lovely weekend, Ty!"
5525957,30334028,2015-04-20,19360339,Lea,"Ty's place was absolutely an inviting and cozy experience. I held a dinner party for a dear friend's bachelorette party here. All the ladies thought the house was absolutely charming. The back porch was the perfect out door dinning area covered with a sweet tin roof and surrounded by a big yard and private fence. The neighborhood was safe and the house was easy to find. The location was close to grocery stores, restaurants, and was a quick and easy cab ride down town. The bed and linens were very comfortable. I would highly recommend Ty's place to anyone looking for a home away from home.  "

The house is perfect for a family getaway.  Very cozy, everything we needed was right at our fingertips.  The patio is fantastic.  And that shower?!  It's amazing!!  We really liked the location, as it was very convenient to Lamar and most of the things we wanted to do.  We would definitely stay again."

5525957,36520129,2015-06-29,30673862,Wilson,"The inside of the house was really nice, however we did not receive the actual address until the day of arrival. (we booked well in advance and were just told ""Mueller Market District"" which isn't really that accurate) The actual neighborhood was definitely a bit sketchy. However, we didn't end up having any incidents. The house is incredibly well stocked and the tv/sound system was fantastic. The sheets on 2 of the beds however needed to be washed on arrival.  Overall, the place had its ups and downs."
5525957,37774133,2015-07-10,33134853,Yuxuan,Ty's house is clean and lovely. It locates in a quiet neighborhood. The staff is very quick to response and is really helpful. My parents loved their stay their.

We each remarked throughout our stay that the house was a very calm and peaceful place. Ty was helpful and he had help available to us should we have needed it. We didn't have any problems and will definitely stay here again. Very  comfortable and inviting!  Thanks, Ty. It really did feel like we were at home!"

5525957,44951832,2015-08-30,40031589,Roy Antonio,"Tha day of our arrival our host was already there, because we were late due to a delay crossing the border. Since the begining Ty was kind, patient and friendly. He nicely and politely explained to us the ""house rules"". Besides, due to his friendly welcome we have extra time to talk about our trip and our jobs.
The house was neat and in order. The neighbourhood was quiet so we could rest and work at home. We felt like in a small town.
It's a pity that we could not rent the house again by the end of september because it was allready booked.
We loved the old and huge oak tree at the front yard."

The house was very charming and immaculate. The shower was awesome. We had all the amenities and comforts of home. We really enjoyed relaxing and conversing on the patio when we weren't out exploring.

Excellent location. Our host was extremely accommodating and helpful. We couldn't have for a more convenient or comfortable stay. If you're planning a trip to Austin, I would HIGHLY recommend booking this property."
5525957,50172925,2015-10-10,6823563,Ashley,Ty's house was wonderful. Felt at home as soon as we walked in. Huge shower and lovely bedrooms. Kitchen had everything you would need. Definitely recommend staying here for your stay in Austin!
5525957,52222030,2015-10-27,341934,James,"We loved our short stay here. It's a short ride away from downtown and there's a good choice of local restaurants half a mile up the road. Loved the electronic lock, made things simple for us without worrying about keys."

Though I never did meet her in person, she was a great host, and fielded my myriad questions via text and, when necessary, call. Also of note, she left three granola bars and two oranges for me! :-)

The apartment itself was spotless, and the room and accommodations  were exactly what I was looking for: clean, quiet, private. I'd stay here again.

The neighborhood, too, was perfect. There are a few places to eat down the street, and downtown is an Uber ride away. It felt safe and tucked away from other distractions."
5445877,37423672,2015-07-06,37281732,Brittany,"Hailey was such a great host! This was my first time using Air BnB and she answered all of my questions.

The space itself has a calming, minimalist feel to it - but all of the essentials were provided upon arrival. Check in was a breeze and we had no problem communicating with the host when we had questions. Highly recommended!!"
3130995,18897696,2014-09-02,18340560,Travis,The studio had the benefit of being very convenient from the interstate but also feeling like a genuine retreat. The space was soothing: my girlfriend and I both slept exceedingly well during our extended weekend stay. It was cozy and airy and had all the amenities you could need for a short stay. It was never much further than a fifteen minute drive to anywhere we wanted to go in Austin and the neighborhood was itself an interesting locale with excellent eating and unique homes. Would recommend. 
3130995,21016125,2014-10-09,4605110,Carmin,"Brooke was awesome! Her little space was clean and quaint, and her neighborhood is close to anything you could ever need.  I really appreciated the clean towels, bathroom soap and shampoo/conditioner, and fully-stocked kitchen-ware (coffee and tea too). "
3130995,21264699,2014-10-13,6032413,Emily,"Fabulous!! Comfortable, cute, well maintained and easy to check in and out. All the necessities were there and it was a quiet little hideaway with a wonderful location and easy access to the bus line! Would definitely stay there again."
3130995,26774011,2015-02-19,15181726,Michael,"This was a great place and I will definitely book it again when back in Austin. As the photos show, it's clean, light, and aesthetically wonderful. I felt good there the moment I walked in. I quite liked the neighborhood, it's quiet and tree-lined but also has some good cafes, restaurants, and food shopping. The deck is very pleasant. Brooke and the owner of the place were both wonderful hosts. "
3130995,27051784,2015-02-24,1708181,Meghann,"The loft was efficient, charming, and easy for our visit to Austin.  We enjoyed having enough fresh towels to have a clean one each day during our visit, and the air conditioning and fan worked great to cool us down in the evening.  Access and finding the location was very easy and Brooke was quick with communication.  The location isn't very central, but we had a friend in Austin with a car so it wasn't too difficult for us. "
3130995,27428520,2015-03-04,12987913,Philip,"Exactly as promised: a charming, modern studio. Well located, roomy and with a few funky flourishes. Would stay again!"

We actually didn't want to leave. The place is so peaceful and in the perfect neighborhood. It has everything you could need and nothing more. Every time we come back to Austin to visit, we vowed to stay here. Not only was the place perfect, but Brooke was super responsive and lovely to work with. We locked ourselves out the first night because we didn't read the very clear instructions and she responded to us within a minute telling us how to get the lock box key. "
3130995,31888996,2015-05-11,28409326,Ashley,The space is just what we expected; a quiet getaway right outside of the city. Brooke uses an app set up through AirBnB which makes everything very easy from check-in to check-out. The place was very clean and had everything we needed for our couple day stay. 
3130995,32127382,2015-05-14,10512396,Burch,"This place is awesome. Modern, secluded, and close to everything. Loved it and Brooke was super friendly and helpful throughout. Will definitely stay here again."
3130995,32362950,2015-05-17,10512396,Burch,"Brooke and the studio are both awesome. She was very responsive and the apartment is modern, clean, and in a great location. Highly recommended!"
3130995,32716196,2015-05-20,7823622,Carrie,"This was a wonderful place for me and my husband to retreat to during our trip to Austin. It was so wonderfully quiet and clean, and had everything we needed. It was also quite easy to find and very accessible to everything we wanted to do."
3130995,33107008,2015-05-25,7028757,Andra,Our little studio was so perfect. Really quiet street but close to everything. Our arrival was very efficiently facilitated. Would definitely stay here again.
3130995,34535109,2015-06-09,1776661,Kay,This was a great space! The studio was accurately depicted. It was a great location and the perfect size for my husband and I. Very clean and comfortable. Brooke answered any questions we had promptly 
3130995,35560359,2015-06-20,31432692,Wai-Chun,I reserved this listing for my parents' stay in Austin. It was recently renovated with bright interior lighting. Everything was clean and my parents enjoyed their stay very much. Owner was friendly. Will recommend this place to anyone wishing to lodge in Hyde Park area. 
3130995,37101068,2015-07-04,2748870,William,The listing description is accurate. The room is clean.  Coffee is ready to brew. Thank you Brooke.
3130995,37899872,2015-07-11,17382317,Marisol,The place was super laid back awesome I highly recommend it
3130995,50272015,2015-10-11,2655851,Jason,"I stayed here for 41 days (!) while in Austin for work.  This studio was clean, spacious and modern.  Located in a GREAT part of town, there's a coffee bean, 24 hr fitness, HEB and other necessities practically in walking distance.  The host was great, friendly and accommodating.  I couldn't recommend this rental more for your next stay in Austin.  5 stars +++++"
3130995,50943549,2015-10-16,17525782,David,"The studio was perfect - comfortable bed, very clean, spacious, and in a great location. "
3130995,51434537,2015-10-20,2227790,Linda,"Everything was as advertised.  We did not hear from Brooke during our stay but we didn't need anything, so everything was really nice.  The apartment has everything you need and easy street parking.  We ate at Mother's, (good food!) which is a short distance away, and on Friday night there was a harp player--just what we needed to unwind after our flight."
3130995,51708846,2015-10-24,17610351,Carolyn,"This space was really nice! I loved the location, close (but not too close) to the freeway, stylish interior, reliable wifi and nice accommodations as far as bathroom and kitchen go. The bed was so comfy! I'm not sure what mattress brand it was but I want one. All in all, it was an awesome experience."
3130995,52158411,2015-10-26,46422030,Ben,"This place was amazing! A buddy and I came in to Austin on a busy weekend when all of the hotels were booked like crazy. We were looking for something fun, anyway. This place fit the bill. Super fun, cozy, and super close to a ton of fun stuff to do in Austin. If you can snag this place, I would highly recommend it."
4296531,37411262,2015-07-06,21520622,Shaun,"Israel was an amazing host, and went above and beyond what most hotels would even do. Best host we've had yet."
607536,2206916,2012-09-05,18512,Kevin,"Josh and Adam were great hosts. The provided great conversation, and dinner when I arrived. I'll be back on my next trip through Austin. "
607536,2476670,2012-10-01,3604328,Melissa,"Adam & Josh were wonderful hosts!  The made us feel right at home & treated us like good friends.  It made for a very warm & welcoming experience.

Also, they let us bring our dog, Penny, & she had a great weekend playing with their dogs.  She slept all the way home!

We visit Austin  often & we'll definitely be back!"
607536,2677273,2012-10-21,3160199,Sarah,"My boyfriend and I had the best time staying with Josh and Adam! If you're looking for a wonderful place to stay in Austin, they are the hosts for you.

We needed a place last minute - Josh and Adam replied to my message right away and I was able to book within 15 minutes. It was so simple, and communication was a breeze.

The house is great. Our room was extremely comfortable and totally stocked with goodies for travelers - fuzzy robes, guidebooks, etc. The Texas theme was very charming. We also had our own bathroom with clean towels and even a coffee maker! 

Josh and Adam welcomed us with a glass of wine and friendly conversation. We really enjoyed getting to know them and had fun sharing travel stories and book recommendations. Their four dogs are adorable; we got at least $50 worth of enjoyment just out of petting their tiny French bulldogs. :)

Josh and Adam gave us excellent food and drink recommendations in the area, and were overall excellent hosts. I would love to stay with them again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks guys!"
607536,2860546,2012-11-11,3867474,Ryan,"When we booked the room with Josh and Adam we did so super last minute (the day of actually) yet, this was not a problem...we were even invited to a home cooked pizza party!  When we decided to stay one more night in Austin (also last minute), they again had no problem, only graciously accepting our request.  Josh and Adam are very welcoming and wonderful hosts, and their home is absolutely beautiful; they have so much information to share about the things to do in Austin as well as great places to eat.  As long as you are a dog lover (they have four sweet ones) then you will absolutely enjoy your stay.  There really isn't any other thing I can write that would do these two any justice other than if and when we return to Austin, Josh and Adam are the first two we're calling.  Highly recommend you start your search for rooms in Austin here"
607536,2873787,2012-11-12,1710787,Niki,"Adam and Josh are simply fantastic! Absolutely wonderful hosts, really friendly, and just great people overall! Staying with them was one of the best experiences for me and my boyfriend. In fact it was so great we even stayed an extra night! Not only were we welcomed into their beautiful home, but we also got to meet all the dogs, try Adam's fantastic cooking, and enjoy many lovely conversations all three days we were staying there. The house is even better than the pictures - probably the most cozy and comfortable we've been to. Anything that you might need, they have! The room has all the amenities, even files with information one might need when visiting Austin! If ever we'll be in Austin again, I definitely would love to stay here again! "
607536,2916316,2012-11-19,3910752,Pablo,"It was a great place for our stay. Adam and Josh are super friendly and they always tried to make us feel comfortable. The house was as shown in the pics, all is super clean, and they have some funny dogs!
I'll stay again anytime!"
607536,3019750,2012-12-03,2717935,Oliver Kovacs,"Adam and josh felt like cousins by the time we checked out. Rarely do you get hosts so genuinely friendly, hospitable, warm and good fun to stay with. Austin is awesome, but Adam and josh transformed our stay into something beyond that. Truly the best place we've stayed at in our entire six months of traveling through America or Europe. Their dogs are super cute and funny, the place is clean as a whistle and comfy as home. I'd recommend to all ages and interests. We hope we get a chance to come back! Thanks Adam and josh and the dogs, we miss you a lot!"
607536,3092677,2012-12-15,3798887,Barbara,"This was my first experience with AirBnb and I must say it was a blast! Josh and Adam are great hosts and I felt at home at all times. The house location is close to downtown Austin with very easy access to all major highways. The dogs were a bonus. If you love dogs this will be your place to stay :) The house is very beautiful,you can tell Josh and Adam took the time to ensure every detail was incorporated into their place. I rate 5 of 5 stars!"
607536,3106265,2012-12-17,1036925,Jasmine,"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay with Josh and Adam! They were amazing hosts and really treated us like family. The house was very clean, our bedroom was perfect, the bathroom was stocked with all necessities, and there was fresh coffee every morning. I think one thing that would set them apart from other places we've been is that Josh and Adam really take a genuine interest in you so when they talk to you its more than just small talk.

Thank you for opening your homes to us. In a heartbeat we would stay again! "
607536,3182840,2012-12-29,4331320,Danica,"Our stay with Josh and Adam was an entirely positive experience. They took the time to pay attention to details like bathrobes and a little homemade book full of information about the house, the neighborhood, and fun things to do in Austin.  They were very welcoming. We were in town to visit old friends and family so we weren't around the house much, but I would have felt completely ok about asking anything or spending more time at the house. The bed is comfy, the wifi is great, the shower has great water pressure, and the rest of the house has lots of space. There are three rambunctious dogs in the mix too, but they are super cute, and I thought they were an enhancement to the experience because it felt more like a home with them there. We would definitely stay here again! "
607536,3204877,2012-12-31,3949622,Michael,Josh & Adam were wondeful hosts for our quick 1 night stay.  They have the Airbnb deal down to a science with a book of recommendations and info in the room and a small little coffee maker ready to go in the bathroom.  It was enjoyable talking with them and learning about the area and we would def stay w/ them again if (and when) we return.  
607536,3970748,2013-04-01,4263292,Gauri,"Josh and Adam are wonderful hosts. Their house is very well kept. I stayed at the house for 2 weekends between Jan - March when my husband was in Austin. The bed was comfortable, the shower was awesome, the dogs were super cute. I am going to miss it !! "
607536,4256089,2013-04-22,5819179,Sher,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and it was awesome. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay with Josh and Adam, they are super friendly and they have the cutest dogs. The house was very open and inviting. Our room was absolutely perfect and we loved the decor. The bed was extremely cozy, the bathroom was clean and well stocked. Even the paint on the walls was so relaxing. I liked that they were very knowledgeable about Austin and gave us great suggestions. They really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. This was the perfect ""get away"" for us and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin."
607536,4497238,2013-05-08,5511974,Qing,"Staying at Josh&Adam's house is a really wonderful experience. They are both nice and helpful people. Because my mother is afraid of dogs, they always kindly keep the dogs away from our living area with gates. When my little girl get sick, they are willing to provide hydrogen peroxide, band-aid and so on. My daughter really like to play with them. And the dogs in their house are also very friendly. We use the kitchen a lot. It is really convenience to go anywhere in Austin from their house. I will definitely recommend their place for staying."
607536,4697921,2013-05-20,6410219,Benjamin,"Josh and Adam were incredibly welcoming and friendly; their house was comfortable; and I wish we could have spent more time with them and their dogs. Honestly, I felt more like family (say, a cousin) than like a customer."
607536,4877941,2013-05-30,399135,Catherine,"Josh and Adam are very gracious hosts. They are very friendly and welcoming but at the same time respect your privacy. They have a clean, beautiful home. You'll have a comfortable bed, laptop workstation, and a strong wireless signal. 

They will offer you food, introduce you to their friends, and patiently explain how to get to the good grocery stores, coffee shops, and bars (several times if necessary).

I ended up arriving a day late because of the tornadoes. Josh and Adam initiated a refund for me from airbnb for the lost day without me asking. 

I recommend staying with them without reservation. However, I strongly urge you to make reservations because a place this good books up early. ;-)
"
607536,6069515,2013-07-29,5511974,Qing,"Josh & Adam are very nice hosts. This is my second time staying with them. They are very tolerant for the crying of baby during night. They keep the dogs away from my little baby all the time. They welcome us to have dinner party with them, inviting us to their friends. They are friendly and helpful in many aspects. We really enjoy staying with them. 
Thank you for everything you have done for us! Look forward to see you again! Best regards!

607536,8683319,2013-11-11,4383028,Gabriel,"Our stay (4 guests) with Josh & Adam was quite a bit of fun. Their house is comfy, quiet, and both Josh and Adam are both incredibly hospitable and sincere. We loved their awesome outgoing dogs, their willingness to accommodate us at only 24 hours notice, and their helpfulness in navigating Austin. The house is a bit far outside of the main city for walking into downtown, so we had to order a taxi which was a pain (45 minute wait and a $15-20 fare) on a Saturday night, but that's the price you pay if no one wants to be designated driver! :) We highly recommend a stay with Josh & Adam!"
607536,8794721,2013-11-18,9711340,Bhavya,"Although we were at Josh and Adam's for a short trip, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. They have a wonderful home with cozy guest rooms and three lovely dogs."
607536,11780462,2014-04-14,38241,Lenny,"Adam and Josh are lovely fellows and have gone to some length to offer a professional quality accommodation experience to guests.  The guest rooms (two), which are comfortable and attractive are dedicated to guest accommodations (so closets are empty and well provided with hangers, etc), and there is guest bathroom with built-in shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispensers as well as a coffee maker with excellent coffee provided (an unlimited supply of bath towels, etc).  The location is excellent for someone with a vehicle as there is quick access to any part of Austin but also to the main arteries for getting in and out of Austin.  In the absence of a vehicle it might not be the ideal location.  Adam and Josh are very friendly and good sources of information but also busy people.  I was in Austin for only one night and their accommodation was perfect for my purposes and outstanding value for money.  "
607536,12579450,2014-05-05,1516849,Carlos,"I had a wonderful time at Josh's and Adam's amazing place in Austin, TX.   The hosts were so kind to make me feel totally comfortable in their home and everything was ready and organized for my stay.  I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay in Austin.  The dogs were very cute and I enjoyed their company as well :)
I will probably stay here again in the near future!

Thank you Josh & Adam!  You Rock! :)
-Carlos"
607536,13382162,2014-05-26,2911641,Christina,Enjoyed our stay with Josh and Adam and their pups! Everything was neat and clean and the hosts are very accommodating. Would stay here again the next time we are coming to Austin.
607536,13462611,2014-05-27,6062826,Tom,"Josh and Adam were fantastic hosts. The house is great, the dogs are adorable, and the bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Austin."
607536,13863816,2014-06-06,6578424,Koral,"My husband and I were planning a move to Austin and were looking for a place to call home there. One of the primary reasons we chose this location, besides being quiet and clean, was Adam is a realtor. We were so glad we did! He did an awesome job. Nowhere will you find a more honest, conscientious, incredibly efficient realtor than Adam. We enjoyed staying with Josh and Adam so much the first time, that we stayed with them a second time we were in town finalizing our living arrangements. We both highly, highly recommend!
 Even if you don't get a chance to stay with these two (they're popular and booked solid), I highly recommend using Adam as your realtor if you're planning an Austin move. The Austin housing market is no joke; a total sellers market. You really need to make sure you have someone who knows what they're doing. He's a Texas native with 10 years experience in the Austin market. Plus, a really great guy! 
Josh and Adam are two really nice guys that you will count as life long friends after you meet them. Besides, if Gigi, Penny and Dolly don't steal your heart, you don't have a heart to be stolen.  
J & A, thanks for having us and we will see you around in Austin! "
607536,14176016,2014-06-13,13462687,Erika,Josh and Adam were great as were their adorable dogs! The rooms were lovely and the bed was SUPER comfortable (best nights sleep in ages). I would absolutely stay there again if I was in Austin. For sure! 
607536,14655551,2014-06-23,8265857,Daja,Josh & Adam were very welcoming. My friend and I took up two separate rooms and both slept really well. The space was clean and the bathroom was lovely! A very pleasant experience. 
607536,15362728,2014-07-07,17059281,Andrew,"Staying with Josh and Adam was the best choice we could have made when we came to Austin. Their home was beautiful and their dogs were ridiculously adorable. The rooms in which we stayed were better than most hotel rooms out there and the amenities that came with them were even better. We could not have asked for a better Airbnb home to stay in. If you're traveling to the Austin area, staying at Josh and Adam's place is a must. It exceeded my expectations and then some. Thanks again, guys."
607536,15479064,2014-07-09,17624717,Eric,This was our first experience with AirBnB and Adam and Josh didn't disappoint. They made us feel very welcome and comfortable.  The very well organized bedroom and bathroom made it an effortless stay.  We slept better than we had in ages. Thanks fellas! 
607536,16445889,2014-07-27,3130161,Nicholas,"Adam and Josh were fantastic hosts! Their setup for guests was unlike any I've seen at airbnb: there is a custom door code for easy access to the home, a guest book, food in the kitchen for guests, their own guide to Austin, and a bunch of wonderful dogs too. Adam and Josh were both extremely nice and enjoyable to talk with. I actually was late to meet a friend because I didn't want to stop a conversation with Josh. Great people, great place."
607536,16583665,2014-07-29,18263614,Thavary,"Josh & Adam made us feel very welcomed! We met Josh first, and he was warm and gracious from the moment he opened the door. Adam was equally warm and gracious giving us recommendations on the best food spots in the city of Austin. I loved how easy going and laid back they were. They were also kind enough to allow us to film an interview in their home. If you're a dog lover, you'll definitely love their french bulldogs and the sweet dogs that they pet sit. Both my traveling buddy and I got our own rooms. I got the bigger room with a big comfy bed. I'll definitely hit up Josh & Adam again, next time I'm in Austin! "
607536,16879327,2014-08-03,9334149,J.,Thanks Josh and Adam for being great hosts. Fantastic place. 
607536,16966961,2014-08-04,13932178,Joanne,"We were really lucky to find this airbnb. Our reservation was really last minute ! Great house, great hosts, the rooms & bathroom are really clean, which is appreciated. The dogs are really fun and cute. The quick answers make everything simple.
Thanks !"
607536,20987134,2014-10-09,12450475,Lindsay,"My pup Willow and I stayed for 2 months with Adam and Josh, as I was in Austin for a job contract during that time. We had a great experience! Adam and Josh couldn't have been more friendly and hospitable. They always made me feel welcomed to socialize with them, but were also respectful of my privacy when I wanted it. Their 3 Frenchies - Gigi, Penny, and Dolly - are super cute and made wonderful doggy friends for Willow. I will surely miss Adam's fabulous cooking! The home is an up-and-coming area with a beautiful park nearby and brand new grocery store (fabulous). It is a very central location, and a quick drive to pretty much all areas around Austin. I look forward to keeping in touch with Adam and Josh!"
607536,21194961,2014-10-13,11933033,Caroline,"Staying here this past weekend was such a great experience! Both Adam and Josh were so welcoming and kind. Their house is a beautiful jewel, located in a very cozy neighborhood. It was not too far away(about a12-14 min drive). We were given a very detailed introduction about the house upon our arrival. Their house was well equipped with essentials like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. They even had extra toothbrushes, nail polish remover and everything else you might need in case you forgot something. They have hosted guests for years and it seems as though they've mastered being excellent hosts. Also, their dogs were a delight to wake up to! (: "
607536,21760625,2014-10-23,619373,Ida,"Josh & Adam are amazing people, helpful and kind! The room and bed was so comfortable as well. The bathroom was clean and nice and there was a hairdryer, soap etc. We warmly recommend people to stay with them. The area is calm and cute and it's so close to the city, which is also great! We also recommend everyone to go to Skishores cafe at Emma Long Park - It's Paradise! "
607536,22566979,2014-11-09,23346602,Mathew,"Josh and Adam were very welcoming and made their home extremely guest friendly. They included everything from shampoo, conditioner, and coffee in the bathroom to a guidebook to Austin in the bedroom. Our Austin experience was really improved by their suggestions! 

Their dogs were equally as friendly as they were. I definitely recommend them, especially if you're a dog person. They cater to the Austin experience that you are looking for. Whether you are just there for business or there for fun, they do a great job of tailoring your stay to your needs. This was our first airbnb stay and they set the bar extremely high!"
607536,23125764,2014-11-23,622174,Mahti,We had a comfortable stay at Josh & Adams. It was nice to have two separate rooms with beds. Location is close to downtown which made it easy for us to see the city!
607536,26199243,2015-02-06,15320043,Samantha,Josh and Adam are the best. You couldn't have better hosts in Austin then them. House was great and extremely comfortable. I'd recommend them to my grandmother if she went to Austin.
607536,27999116,2015-03-16,26404760,Daniel,"Tks for receiving us. The house was pretty nice, but unfortunately it was not very close to downtown.

Josh and Adam were very kind with us.
Tks guys."
607536,28191317,2015-03-19,27119633,Shawn,We had a wonderful time in Austin.  Josh and Adam were a wealth of information regarding the area.  The rooms and bath were clean and comfortable.  The house was easy to find.  I would definitely recommend and would stay there again if I find myself in Austin. 
607536,28305799,2015-03-22,26311619,Corey,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and it could not have been a better one. Josh & Adam were very accommodating and helpful during our trip, recommending places to eat, shop, etc. It was like staying in a hotel, but with all of the comforts of home. 

I would highly recommend staying with them if you're in the Austin area and I would definitely stay with them again."
607536,34932561,2015-06-14,14510029,Thomas,"Josh et Adam ont vraiment été très accueillants. Ils ont su nous faire sentir chez nous dès le premier jour et ce durant toute la durée de notre séjour chez eux. Leur maison est très bien équipée, les chambres très agréables et leurs chiens vraiment très affectueux ! 
Nous étions à Austin dans le cadre d'un stage à l'University of Texas qui est à 20 minutes en bus depuis leur maison. Nous n'avions pas beaucoup de temps libre mais ce fut un plaisir de partager certains très bons repas (Adam est un excellent cuisinier) avec eux ainsi qu'avec leurs voisins !"
607536,36730523,2015-06-30,23745201,Jason,"We felt very welcomed at Josh and Adams, and comfortable. we traveled with or chihuahua and she was comfortable as well , If this is your first time visiting an airbnd this is how it should feel , from the small details of a guest package to coffee and tea. One of the best parts of staying with Josh and Adam was their love for pets.  "
607536,37348049,2015-07-06,22260644,Anushka,"Spent fourth of July weekend at Josh & Adam's place. Accommodation was great, Josh and Adam were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our dog Charlie was also with us, it was really convenient that they had dogs and were dog sitting. Didn't have to worry about our pup at all."
607536,38778857,2015-07-18,31990296,Jake,"Our stay with Adam and Josh was everything we could've hoped for. Despite giving really short notice, they responded extremely quickly. The house is beautiful, extremely comfortable and they have everything you could possibly need. The location is great, only approximately 15 mins from downtown. They have three adorable and friendly dogs. Adam and Josh themselves are the perfect hosts. They were welcoming, friendly and really do strive to cater for your needs. In addition to their tremendous hospitality, their recommendations on things to do, places to eat were excellent and extremely extensive. I cannot stress enough how pleasant a stay we had with them."
607536,39535495,2015-07-24,37515965,Joe,Josh and Adam made me feel very welcomed.  My stay with them was a very comfortable experience.  The house was very nice and clean. 
607536,40041816,2015-07-27,11493721,Jerry,"Josh and Adam are really great, friendly guys.  The house is tidy and immaculate and the location - while not extremely close to downtown and SoCo - was still great.  The guys have a few dogs that are super-friendly and cute.  And they are careful to keep the dogs out of your way if you want some peace and quiet.  (The weekend that my buddy and I visited, they were dog-sitting an additional 6 dogs- a total of 9(!)  They had warned us ahead of time, and in the end, it wasn't a problem.  The dogs were well managed and mostly confined away from our rooms.)  All in all, I'd highly recommend their house for your trip to Austin.  Thanks guys."

607536,42303322,2015-08-12,31376881,Paul,Great place and Josh and Adam were great hosts.  They made me feel welcome and their dogs were so cute.  
1461266,7350171,2013-09-16,5626969,Karen,"I loved Pete's Guest House in Hyde Park.  It was beautiful, spotless, and very spacious.  I felt so comfortable and safe, I really didn't want to check out on Sunday!  Pete was very friendly and accommodating, but there were no issues or problems at all with my visit.  I would very highly recommend this gem to anyone wanting to stay in a beautiful, walkable part of Austin and feel like they are staying in a dear friends' guest house."
1461266,8325776,2013-10-26,7722394,Trudi,This place is immaculate and very thoughtfully put together. Everything you need and the decor was lovely. Pete was extremely helpful and I like the spot so much I am coming back in two weeks time!  I recommend this very highly. 
1461266,8642269,2013-11-10,9315655,Jill,"Very nice, clean, comfortable space in a great location. Really enjoyed having the option of a kitchen in addition to all the dining options nearby. Easy bus ride to UT and downtown. Such a great neighborhood to walk around in, too, and lots of amenities like grocery shopping and post office nearby. Pete was very professional and friendly and easy to work with -- everything was very smooth. Would definitely stay here again, and would recommend especially for anyone visiting UT. Was a terrific alternative to hotel. "
1461266,8890249,2013-11-24,5596131,Melissa Campbell,"A wonderful place to stay.  Comfortable, new, safe, and decorated beautifully.  Pete was always available if I needed anything. 
When in Austin, I will always check for this location first!!  Thank you Pete."
1461266,9888287,2014-01-17,3645792,Ana,"What a delightful stay!  The apartment was immaculate, beautifully decorated, warm and had everything needed for a home away from home.  Great kitchen, comfortable bed .... all good!

It is situated in a gorgeous part of Austin and a lovely place to walk around.  Having supermarkets and local restaurants walking distance made life very easy!  It was also easy to get to whatever else Austin has to offer from there.  We had a ball.

Pete was always most helpful.  We'll be back!  Thanks Pete.

I didn't want to leave!  "
1461266,10938558,2014-03-14,7227021,Charlie,"The listing was beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. I had no issues getting in or finding the place, and it was part of a lovely, quiet neighborhood. There was a bus stop right out front that goes straight downtown, and it was a short walk to local stores and cafes. The property was very well maintained, and everything worked great. This was my first time in an Air BnB and I would definitely recommend it to anyone after this experience, I just need to remember to bring some soap / shampoo next time!"
1461266,15829908,2014-07-16,12425424,Ariane,"I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. The place was clean and well-stocked with all the essentials that a traveler needs. The host was incredibly responsive throughout the process, from booking through checking in and out. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet, with a few cafes and other shops close by. I definitely hope to stay here again!! "
1461266,18725611,2014-08-31,18008904,Anuj,Pete was a great host. 
1461266,22355070,2014-11-04,6270362,Xavier,"Everything was as described and expected. Totally reliable host. The apartment is very comfortable and the neighbourhood is great, one of the best in Austin. There are very nice restaurants and cafes within walking distance."
1461266,33784751,2015-06-01,20066168,Martin,"I've stayed at other apartments of Pete's, and he is a very efficient & helpful host.  This apartment was very nice, well appointed and it's in a great area. "
1461266,35348743,2015-06-17,32798359,Lisa,"We took my daughter to orientation at UT and stayed here.  It is a great location, wonderful neighborhood, and close to UT and other things to do.  It is nice to have restaurants and a small store within walking distance.  The place was very clean and nice.  Pete was very responsive via text.  "
1461266,48595899,2015-09-27,3505115,Todd,"Pete's apartment was the perfect place to stay in Austin. It was quiet, comfortable and in a great location. I had everything I needed and Pete responded quickly if I had a question or a need. I would easily stay again. "
1461266,52419081,2015-10-29,23080416,Richard,"Pete did all things very well to make my wife and I feel comfortable in his Airbnb.  communication was excellent.  the apartment was perfectly located for grocery store, cafes, restaurants, etc.  The apartment was clean and comfortable.  We cooked dinner a lot with no problem.  it was great to have an electric dishwaher. The weather was quite cool when we arrived, so we did not have to run the a/c in the bedroom wall at night time.  If a person is a light sleeper and needs a/c at night, the a/c in the bedroom next to the bed might bother him/her.  All in all, we had a great time in Pete's apartment--our second time we rented one of his apartments.  We definitely highly recommend this Airbnb when we visit our daughter."
1461266,53257177,2015-11-07,37040393,K,"My stay was fantastic. The unit was clean, spacious, cute, and exactly as described/pictured. Pete was a great host, answering any/all questions I had very quickly. Lastly the neighborhood is quiet, safe and pretty with some great restaurants, coffee shops, and markets a few blocks away. I highly recommend staying here. "
3840726,21262895,2014-10-13,4868994,Derek,"We had a wonderful stay with Barbara and Alston for our anniversary weekend!  The countryside around their property is stunning, and we found great food and drink spots nearby.  The guest house is very private and separate from the main house, the bed felt comfortable, we used the kitchen, and Barbara let us borrow cooking supplies for our meal.  We swam in Bear Creek and enjoyed the view from the large, open, and private yard.  Looks just as stunning as the pictures.  "
3840726,21556111,2014-10-19,15732336,Brittney,Me and my Husband wanted a quiet weekend away and that is exactly what we got!! It was beautiful and peaceful and everything we could ever ask for. The guest house was adorable so vibrant and fun!! Bed was very comfortable as well! Definitely recommend. Thanks again Barbara and alston!
3840726,21925239,2014-10-26,16641793,Barrington,We had such a lovely time at the farm on Bear Creek! Such a relaxing and peaceful experience. We were able to kick back and enjoy the whole farm during the day and hang out in Austin at night. Barbara was wonderfully helpful and available for anything we needed. I definitely recommend Bear Creek for a relaxing and fun weekend. 
3840726,22247235,2014-11-02,6097121,Patrick,"The hosts were gracious (Barbara even brought over a bowl of soup knowing I was almost to ill to make my visit) the place lovely and quiet. Wish I would have had more time to its by the river and take it al in.

Had some problems with the wifi though, and sometimes couldn't stream or had to go to the corner of the room closest to the house. But other then that I was well pleased."
3840726,25747603,2015-01-25,25016041,Austen,"We loved our stay at the Guest House on Bear Creek. The bed was extremely comfortable and they had stocked the refrigerator with some essential food, including milk, orange juice, yogurt, and bottled water. They even left us some bagels one morning, which we very much enjoyed. We would definitely say here again! Thank you Barbara and Alston!"
3840726,27171590,2015-02-27,25173684,Larson,Absolutely one of the best experiences I've ever had staying in either a B&B or any other place for that matter.  It is such a beautiful place and with some of the kindest people.   Felt right at home.  I would stay here again in a heart beat.
3840726,27307198,2015-03-01,5355951,Trenton,"We had a wonderful time at the Boyd's home! It was quiet peaceful and a perfect get-away. The Boyd's were very welcoming and left us breakfast in the fridge, as well as an assortment of ice cream and hot teas. Their property is beautiful, and is a quick and easy 15-20 min drive to downtown Austin. They are also about 5 min away from the famous ""Salt Lick"" BBQ. We hope to come back soon!"
3840726,27595762,2015-03-08,26379283,TheKtRons,"A beautiful, relaxing stay! Barbara & Alston are warm and welcoming hosts. Their guest house was very comfortable and cozy with soft sheets and fluffy towels. Just like the pictures, but even better in person. Very cheery, bright and spacious inside. The location is great, just far enough away to feel like a country getaway, yet super easy to drive into south Austin. Barbara & Alston made us feel right at home, they even left breakfast/snacks for us in the fridge. The WiFi wasn't a strong signal so we couldn't stream tv/movies but if you're looking to disconnect a bit and relax, this place cannot be beat!"
3840726,28184646,2015-03-19,12736152,Jay,"The guest house on Bear Creek was an amazing get away. It was the perfect distance from Austin, and so close to so many great Austin spots, such as Salt Lick, the Lady Bird Wildflower Center, and an Alamo Drafthouse, while also being a beautiful and relaxing retreat. The creek in literally right in their backyard and is as beautiful, if not more, than it is in the pictures! Barbara & Alston also were extremely hospitable, making sure we had everything we needed, even going out of their way to stock the fridge full of breakfast foods! Thanks Barbara & Alston!"
3840726,28325138,2015-03-22,18331194,Rachel,"Barbara and Alston's sweet little guest house on the creek was exactly what we were looking for. We came to visit Austin during SXSW and there is no shortage of hustle and bustle in the city. It was so nice to make that short car trip out into the country. Unfortunately, the weather didn't want to cooperate with us so we didnt get to enjoy the creek and covered pavilion as much as we would have liked to! "
3840726,28719554,2015-03-29,25772000,Ross,"Barbara & Alston have an absolutely gorgeous hill country property and they are lovely hosts. The guest house has everything you need, the fridge was stocked with fresh milk, juice, and water. There was also fruit, coffee, and bagels. Such a lovely little cottage, it's decorated really cool as well. It's beautiful and relaxing get away out in the hill country, yet if you want to head down into Austin it's a short drive. My wife and I loved staying here. Wish we could keep this as our little secret. "
3840726,29122793,2015-04-04,29276958,Brian,"My name is Brian and I stayed at the guest house on Bear Creek and it was absolutely wonderful. The room was beautifully decorated and there were already some stocked items in the fridge. The best part about this property was a tie between the owners(Barbara and Alston), who were extremely kind and provided us with half a dozen fresh bagels, and the spectacular view seen in the pictures, it is better in person and quite relaxing. It is very hard to want to do anything else but sit out by the creek and have a cold beverage. I would highly recommend staying here and would do so again myself if I visit the area in the near future. By far the best rental property I have stayed in."
3840726,29516207,2015-04-08,8564422,Sarah Melina,"Barbara was very kind and helpful and even had fresh bagels ready for us for an easter breakfast. The house was super nice and with the colourful interior we felt on vacation immediately. Its a quick 20 minutes to downtown Austin from Barabara's house and we didn't experience any traffic problems. 

"
3840726,30183539,2015-04-19,15636778,Rose And Patrick,Barb and Alston were excellent hosts from our arrival to our departure.
3840726,30893119,2015-04-28,1789084,Ronda,"We were SO pleased with our little cottage get-away! As good as the photos are, the reality was even better! The location is far enough away to feel like a true getaway but close enough to Austin to still be convenient. 

We did wish we had had more time to just hang out at the cottage. We were in the area for a wedding so our schedule was a bit full with wedding activities. 

The only downside - which was also a blessing ;)  was my beau and I both have Verizon and we had no cell service when we were on property. We had some friends visit who had AT&T and T-Mobile and their service was fine. 

We definitely plan on staying again when we come back to Austin!"
3840726,32401757,2015-05-17,6157662,Don,Barbara and Alston couldn't have been better hosts and their property is gorgeous. The creek is a nice private place to swim and yet you're not far from town. We'll be coming back!
3840726,33693621,2015-05-31,27235463,Mary Ann,"I cannot express how amazing this property was. All night, falling asleep, all we heard was the beautiful creek and, at dusk, see fireflies twinkle. Every morning we had coffee in the private pavilion and our fantastic hosts left bagels for us. The bed was comfortable, the pillows soft, and we had amenities like towels and a hair dryer. It was wonderful. Barbara and Alston are generous, sweet, and so accommodating, they went above and beyond. Do yourself a favor and stay here."
3840726,34273698,2015-06-07,25511341,Laura,"Barbara and Alston were the perfect host! What a beautiful home you have. We enjoyed the creek,deer, and peaceful surroundings! Our little guest house fit us perfectly. We hope to come back again for another visit!"
3840726,34993249,2015-06-14,9088353,Allie,"Barbara and Alston's place was perfect! My mom, aunt, and I loved everything about it -- everything was just as described. Definitely will be booking again in the future. :) "
3840726,35705849,2015-06-21,8032641,Tara,"This experience was exactly what we were looking for!  Barbara and Alston have a beautiful piece of Hill Country heaven, close to Austin, close to Wimberley, and spitting distance from the Salt Lick, but we really enjoyed just sitting out by the creek listening to the sounds of nature.  Barbara welcomed us and always made us feel welcome, but they were very respectful of our privacy.  The guest house was well appointed and super cute.  Perhaps during our next visit, Barbara and Alston can tell us the stories behind all of the lovely decorations. "
3840726,35969128,2015-06-23,35427854,Debbie,"This is a beautiful property.  It was nice to be out of the city, but yet close enough to drive there when we wanted to."
3840726,37078603,2015-07-04,6015463,Stephen,"This is a beautiful spot, and perfect for our getaway! Barbara and Alston are perfect hosts, right on the property, but you still have your privacy, and can have days just sitting by the beautiful creek, swimming in the creek, just enjoying relaxing times. While you're close to downtown, it feels as if you're in another world. Would return any chance we get."
3840726,37351290,2015-07-06,31526284,Tammy,"The bear creak property is absolutely gorgeous. The creek itself is so relaxing and the grounds are very well kept. The location was perfect for us; close enough to Austin yet far enough away that we felt removed. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The house was well stocked with all the basics plus extras such as milk, bottled water and orange juice. We will definitely be returning soon. "
3840726,38241388,2015-07-13,32797449,Half Price,It was a wonderful experience. One of the best air bnb sites ever. Very cozy .  Comfy n private. Loved it
3840726,38925779,2015-07-19,956163,Shelly,"This place is absolutely wonderful.  I loved being outside here - even in July in Texas I never got hot because there is shade everywhere, cool water and nice breeze by the creek.  Saw fireflies and butterflies and fish and all kinds of birds - loved it!  The hosts were extremely thoughtful, providing their guests with fabulous floats and noodles for the creek plus bagels, fruit, coffee, milk and juice!!  Also, I totally misunderstood about check out time and we were late checking out on Sunday but the Boyds were very very understanding.  I plan on coming back with my daughter for a couple of days before she leaves for college.  "
3840726,39238570,2015-07-21,34227450,Omar,"The property is just like the pictures show. It's 5 mins away from Salt Lick, 30 mins away from Wimberley where you can visit Blue Hole and Jacobs Well. We stayed there for my Mom's bday for 2 nights Barbara was very nice and let us bring our little Maltese dog along. We saw deer on their property and it was a nice stay. They only have a Queen size bed in the room and no TV but it doesn't matter cause its the perfect place to relax. I would stay there again. It's a little overpriced in my opinion for the size of the room but overall good experience."
3840726,39544103,2015-07-24,18088741,Larry,"Loved it!! Beautiful property, no way else to describe it.  Barbara was great. Greeted us with fresh muffins and bagels when we checked in.  The rental is very clean and appropriated sized for 2 or 3, but with all there is to do either outside the house, near the house, or in Austin, you won't be spending too much time inside.  Would definitely stay there again!  "
3840726,40644804,2015-08-01,37074666,Noe,"Barbara and Alston were magnificent hosts! Their guesthouse was clean and beautifully decorated. They provided us with muffins, bagels, coffee, juice, milk, and water. They had everything we could possibly need there for us! The creek was beautiful and perfect for swimming and canoeing. We can't say enough good things about our stay. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family and we will come back!"
3840726,41035324,2015-08-03,28218292,Shannon,"We had a great time. Thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful, well kept property....very peaceful! 
We appreciated the extra touches. It was a very comfortable stay and it's just a short drive to downtown Austin. 
Thank you Barbara."
3840726,41486637,2015-08-07,38273140,Ashlee,"Great place, great view! Barbara & Alston were very hospitable! "
3840726,42872940,2015-08-16,37082043,Sara,Barbara and Alston were wonderful host. The little casita was exactly what we needed for a quiet weekend away. We swam in the creek and ate supper in the covered pavilion. It was a great stay overall! Would definitely stay there next time we are in the area. 
3840726,43729911,2015-08-21,956163,Shelly,"Another wonderful stay on Bear Creek!  I love this place - so pretty and so peaceful.  Plus Barbara and Alston are such terrific hosts!  Tina is wonderful, too.  Thanks so much for a lovely, restful visit.  I will return!"
3840726,45480926,2015-09-03,32219083,David,"Two words describe the Guest House on Bear Creek and hosts Barbara and Alston: bucolic and welcoming (respectively).   We really enjoyed our stay in the comfortable studio with kitchenette.   A bonus is the WiFi provided, which once my son identified a problem with, was quickly resolved.  
It was very pleasant to wake up to a distant rooster heralding the day then having some creekside muffins and tea (provided by Barbara) while the cicadas buzzed.  The wildlife on the ranch surprised us...we even got to see a hummingbird moth.  
Alston treated us to a flight demonstration of his awesome drone with VR headsets of its view...really cool. "
3840726,45825088,2015-09-06,27491024,Jennifer,We loved it. They were very hospitable and everything was clean and peaceful. We would absolutely come back again and had such an amazing experience. 
3840726,46842934,2015-09-13,8207113,Dave & Doreen,"If you're looking for a real Austin experience, you won't go wrong choosing the Guesthouse.  One word describes our stay here, ""...Serene"".  This property is one-of-a-kind, quiet, peaceful and really gorgeous.  In the evenings, the temperature dropped and it was restful drinking a glass of wine while watching the fish jump and the big grey heron fly the length of the creek looking for his evening meal.  And an extra-special early morning treat was watching the huge deer drink creekside with the fog rising off the water!  As a photographer, needless to say, I found the accommodations, garden, lawn and the incredible insect, bird and wildlife to be outstanding.  The guesthouse itself was very clean, offered everything we could have asked for...and the bed was very comfortable.  The neighborhood is rural Texas at its best, with horses across the street.  The property is 5 minutes away from one of the State's best barbeque restaurants, The Salt Lick.  If you're from out-of-state, you'll LOVE the experience.  It's surrounded by vineyards, and they offer wine tastings.  All-in-all, we truly had the best experience we've ever had while visiting Austin.  We'll be back!  Barbara and Alston were on vacation while we were there, so we felt like we had the entire property to ourselves...and we did!  Tina, our hostess, communicated with us by phone prior to arrival, and left a light on for us, as we arrived later than expected.  Thanks to all for a really great experience.  Y'all are why we love Airbnb!"
3840726,47700220,2015-09-21,40397945,Breanna,"It was out in the country, beautiful landscape!!! They welcomed us, and had beach towels and everything for swimming, as well as juice and milk and breakfast for the next morning! So sweet! The grass in between the creek and the guest house was soooo luscious and green, and it was very quiet and peaceful. Wonderful place ;) "
3840726,48561070,2015-09-27,42637806,Ken,Our stay was fantastic!  Barbara and Alston are great hosts and their property is so amazingly serene and beautiful.  Far enough away from Downtown Austin for solitude and close enough to have some great fun.  Highly recommended!
3840726,49782352,2015-10-06,5491598,Beverly,Our hosts were wonderful and made us feel at home.  The grounds are lovely.  I especially loved sitting in the chairs by the creek.  The unit is very nice.  It is one large room very colorfully decorated and comfortable.
4100227,20790149,2014-10-05,14473451,Nimia,"Our experience was great! We went to Austin just for the ACL fest. The place was just like the pictures and it was very clean. Dinosaur (the cat) was hardly even noticeable. Kendal was very friendly and available. They recommended a place for breakfast that was great. 
Overall great experience. Will definitely be back! "
4100227,20888201,2014-10-06,8858728,Sarah,"Kendal's space was so welcoming and full of beautiful art. She was flexible with our arrival and check out times, and easily accessible when we were ready to depart. I highly recommend this space for your next trip to Austin."
4100227,21304028,2014-10-14,21656991,David,Our stay was perfect. The apartment was exactly as described. Charming and clean with easy access to I35.  Added bonus of great original works of art from your host!!!
4100227,21632480,2014-10-20,17256405,Mia,"Kendal was a great hostess! Her apartment is lovely and her cat, Dino, is adorable and friendly. Ubers are everywhere and easy to take downtown - we got the best of both worlds with easy access to downtown and a quiet space at the end of the night. Check in/out was easy and we had a wonderful time in Austin, thanks in part to Kendal opening her home! I would definitely recommend staying with Kendal!"
4100227,21932831,2014-10-26,8001242,Lara,Kendal was very friendly and incredibly helpful. Any questions we had she was immediately reachable. Her recommendations were flawless! The inside of the house is exactly as pictured! She is a very talented artists and we very much enjoyed the decoration. 
4100227,21995580,2014-10-27,17498002,Lauren,"Staying at Kendal's was perfect--she was very accommodating of my late check in. The apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos: Clean, eclectic, and comfortable. 

Kendal has made a great ""guidebook"" to Austin, if you're unfamiliar with the area. It lists lots of places to eat, drink, see, and do--and includes a brief (and often funny) reason why Kendal recommends it. Also in the book is Kendal's contact information, which she was adamant I use if I needed anything or had any questions during my stay.

It was lovely spending time with Dinosaur, who came to watch movies with me on the couch, but also spent a fair amount of time in hiding. 

There was a smattering of fresh produce on the counter, Kendal was happy to share. I was happy to have a kettle for my tea, but be aware I did not find a microwave, if that's your main cooking tool.

If you need a clean, quiet place to relax while in Austin, this is it!"
4100227,22801470,2014-11-15,12834573,Matt,"Kendal was a fantastic host.  Even though I arrived late (almost midnight), she waited to personally welcome me and give me the rundown on her place.  We stayed in touch mainly via text whenever I had questions, and I knew she would be available if I needed anything.  I stayed for almost two weeks, and it was exactly what I needed.  I kept thinking how happy I was that I hadn't spent the two weeks in a hotel!  I'm happily back in my own home now... but I kindof miss her cat.  "
4100227,22913119,2014-11-17,23160996,Cj,Kendal was an absolutely amazing host. The apartment was immaculate and the location couldn't be beat. She was extremely accommodating and even left us a guide of great local places within easy driving distance. I will definitely look her up when we are in Austin for a week early next year!
4100227,23396432,2014-11-30,16503669,Yiye,"Even thought we didn't meet, the check-in arrangement was smooth. Kendal was thoughtful to keep in touch to make sure everything was good. The apartment was exactly as shown in the photos - neat and spacious. We enjoyed the art, the hand made guide for Austin, and of course Dino the cat - they all made the stay extra comfortable."
4100227,24795379,2015-01-02,6883761,Ashley,"Kendal was a wonderful host!! We stayed there for nye, celebrated a little too much, and accidentally overslept!! Our checkout time was 10am and I didn't hear our alarms. We woke up around 10:15 to Kendal knocking on the door! Of course we felt terrible, but she was SO nice and understanding. I must've apologized 50 times in the 10 minutes I threw everything into our bags, but she was very nice and even invited us back next time we are in Austin! Wonderful apartment with beautiful artwork (done by the host herself), a super cute cat named Dino, and an amazing host! I would reccomend to anyone! Next time we stay, we promise to wake up on time! Thanks Kendal! :) "
4100227,24899085,2015-01-03,3414935,Kevin,"Kendal was an amazing host, she greeted us as we arrived and left an amazing packet of things to do in the city. Her apartment is a breath of fresh air with the beautiful paintings, and Dino is an awesome addition. I would def. stay here again when in Austin. "
4100227,25256261,2015-01-10,9743992,Don,"Kendal was a perfect host. Warm, friendly, prompt communication. Her apartment is comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Dino the cat is friendly, mildly curious, and nice company. Bed is comfortable, with flannel sheets and a comforter. Cozy, unlike many places, in the cold of winter.  Great spot!"
4100227,25335420,2015-01-12,25478395,Char,"Kendal's apartment is even more stunning in person than one can see in the pictures. Her attention to detail and creative touch made my boyfriend and I enjoy our time in her apartment just as much as our time in Austin (granted, the weather was terrible that weekend). Truly an artists studio- her artwork was gorgeous. 

Kendal left us with a mini instruction booklet filled with fun sights and recommendations to enjoy our time in Austin. She also recommended us to visit a fabulous pizza and craft brewery called PintHouse Pizza on our way out which was awesome! We heeded warnings to not pick up Dino, though he (she?) was very sweet and often rubbed up against out legs as we were getting ready. 

The apartment was in a safe and semi-secluded area of town though still close to the highway, everywhere we wanted to go (6th street, soco, downtown, Capitol building) was a 5-10 minute drive. "
4100227,25574695,2015-01-19,25970599,Catherine,"Kendal's Austin studio was a blast! It was very easy to get to from the interstate and the area was quiet and safe. We were running late and our check in time ended up being fairly late and she was still so accommodating. The studio was clean and comfortable. One of the first things you get when staying there is a list of awesome places to visit and any and all questions get answered in the pamphlet. Dino, the catasaurus, was super friendly and spent most of her time sunbathing when we were in the studio. I would absolutely recommend this place to any and all. Thanks again Kendal:)"
4100227,25861993,2015-01-27,16646913,Desireé,"Kendal was accommodating with our arrival, and she left the key for us to let ourselves in. 

The apartment is cozy and quiet. It is in a larger complex, and we had some trouble finding it exactly upon first arrival. Once we found it, it was easy to get to. 

The apartment was beautifully decorated and clean. The kitchen had most of what we needed (no coffee pot). There was no access to toiletries, which was different than our previous airbnb experiences.

Overall, it was a beautiful apartment and Kendal was great with accommodating check-in and check-out times, and we are so grateful that she opened her whole home to is! "
4100227,25888796,2015-01-28,9743992,Don,"This was a repeat stay for me. Kendal is a prompt communicator making logistics easy. Her apartment is very comfortable and clean. Dino the cat is easy company. Nice, easy place to stay in Austin."
4100227,26263244,2015-02-08,16437118,Yazmin,"I loved Kendal's art studio apartment. It was just as pictured, but even more vibrant. I did not get to meet her but she always responded when I contacted her. Initially getting through the locked entrance was difficult but afterwards it was smooth sailing. My daughter loved Dino.  And it was in a great location, about 15 minutes away from everywhere we explored. Thanks for the experience, will stay again :) "
4100227,26574131,2015-02-15,6488992,Stephanie,"The location was great for my mom and I, and perfectly comfortable for the two of us to rest and shower and get back out to the hiking! Clean and pleasant, the complex felt safe and was just far enough from downtown to not feel like we were in the middle of the craziness, but close enough to get there in just a few minutes! "
4100227,26942682,2015-02-22,27322817,Gwen,"Kendal is a wonderful host. This was our first airbnb experience and we are so excited to use it again. Her apartment was beautiful, clean, and extremely relaxing. It is close to many Austin attractions and wonderful food too! Kendal is amazingly quick to respond to any questions you may have As well! Thanks for a wonderful place to stay! We had a blast"
4100227,27406568,2015-03-03,27808206,Ciana,"Kendal was a wonderful host, we loved her beautifully decorated apartment. The artwork and kitty Dino created such a great environment. Kendal let us use her dishes/ towels and we didn't really have to worry about cleaning up at all. It was great to have the Apple TV too. Sort of difficult to exit the apartment complex as a pedestrian but we got used to it. For anyone who wants to get to some stores without going all the way downtown — take the bus, it was really easy and seemed under utilized by residents. Thanks Kendal!! "
4100227,28160969,2015-03-19,25711253,Anthony,"Kendal's apartment is comfortable and cozy, her cat Dino made me feel right at home. The bathroom and kitchen were both very clean and there was plenty of fridge space for my things. I enjoyed the decorative styling she has going on and was very grateful for the A/C unit when it got hot.

I had the pleasure of meeting Kendal, the first and only Austin native I've ever met. We exchanged thoughts on her art, the growth boom in Austin, and a few (website hidden) about her cat, Dino :) A wonderful and gracious host!

The only comment I have is that it was a little difficult to locate the main gate, just North of the leasing office. Once I got in though it was super (website hidden);DR - Had a fantastic stay, wonderful roommate (Dino), and couldn't have had been happier with the accommodations. Thanks Kendal!"
4100227,28223847,2015-03-20,28689069,Ameka,Kendal made us feel welcome while staying in Austin. Check in and Check out time was very flexible. Loved Dino.....and all the art work in her place.
4100227,28388818,2015-03-23,5982966,Jessica,"We had a great experience staying at Kendal's.  The place was perfect for my bf and I.  It was super clean and comfy, and Kendal has a great list of local restaurants and other attractions.  Dino the cat is very sweet and cute, and didn't take very long to warm up to us at all.  We are the kind of people who bring food to make so as to not spend all our dough on meals, so we really appreciated all her nice cookware and utensils, french press, dishes, etc. The location was less than 10 minutes from downtown, with super easy highway access.  I would definitely stay here again. A++"
4100227,28817850,2015-03-30,17518630,Natalie,"Kendal's place was beautifully decorated and very clean! Dino was also a nice companion to have hanging around :) I felt right at home. The location was perfect and only about 10 minutes from downtown. 

I didn't get the chance to meet Kendal in person, but she was very quick to respond to messages and answering any questions. My stay was very smooth."
4100227,30233019,2015-04-19,22044319,Jackie,we had an extremely pleasant stay with everything we could want. Dino was an added bonus
4100227,30881297,2015-04-28,29944642,Brent,Kendal left a booklet with the house rules and explained where everything was. It also included some cool stuff to see/do/eat. The apartment was in a nice part of town that was really close to all the action. Dino was awesome too!

4100227,31899999,2015-05-11,30064959,Jennie,"My toddler daughter and I stayed at Kendal's home during Mother's Day weekend.  She was very prompt to answer my questions prior to the trip, and our check in was flawless.  The apartment was very clean and cozy, and the artwork was lovely to look at.  The location was great and close to our weekend activities.  We will definitely book here again if we are back in Austin.  Fantastic and kind host."

4100227,32509183,2015-05-19,9632641,Vern N,"Kendal's place was comfortable and convenient to fun Austin spots and good eateries. Everything was neat, clean, and the art was nice to enjoy! Fresh towels, eggs, and a handbook with awesome suggestions upon arrival. She kept in touch and flexible for check-out. My 2 yr old always looked forward to getting back to the apt to see her cat, Dino. Kendal really puts a lot of thought into making it a pleasurable stay!"
4100227,45897509,2015-09-06,807884,Johannes,"Kendal's place was so homey! There's not really much around walking distance, but it's a great place to wake up to! Especially if you like cats!"
4100227,47093619,2015-09-15,42775941,Cassie,"Kendall is an amazing host! We had a quiet and relaxing weekend in her cozy little apartment. Not only did we love the space, we loved her sweet kitty!! Had a blast, would definitely consider staying there again in the future!

"
4100227,47791941,2015-09-21,43140339,Yannique,"The location was good, everything was clean, and it was nice having Dinosaur around. Kendal left eggs, coffee, and tea out for us so we could make breakfast. She was quick to answer any questions we had, and the pamphlet she wrote was very helpful."
4100227,49135744,2015-10-01,41865267,Kyle,Great place to stay for a long weekend getaway in Austin. Clean and well taken care of. I was happy her kitchen had good cooking pots and pans too for for those of us who like to cook on vacations.

4100227,50746266,2015-10-14,38435551,Sara,"Kendal's place was exactly as described! She was super welcoming and even left us water bottles, coffee, tea, and apples. She also answered our texts quickly whenever we had questions. The magazines she left out with places to visit were also super helpful. I highly recommend Kendal's place to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and clean place to stay! "
4100227,51430634,2015-10-20,33816643,Steffan,"A lovely apartment in a nice complex, in a great town. Kendal was a great host, and left some really useful info about what to see and do in Austin. There's art on the walls, and a beautiful and friendly cat to keep you company! What more could you want! "
4100227,51898968,2015-10-25,41508568,Andrew,"We loved staying at Kendal's place! It's an ideal place to stay in Austin, and we never felt far away from anything. Her home is incredibly comfortable, cozy and quirky, filled with beautiful art and an incredibly friendly cat (Hi Dinosaur!). We felt right at home here and loved how relaxed we felt staying there. This truly is a great place to stay and we highly recommend it to future Austin visitors."
4100227,52065837,2015-10-26,43005723,Laurie,What a wonderful stay!  Kendal left a handwritten note welcoming us to her home.  Great space with so much cool artwork.  It was in a great neighborhood and so convenient to I-35.  It was our first experience with Airbnb and and it was perfect.  Thank you!
4100227,52916008,2015-11-02,47295507,Manny,"Kendal left her beautiful apartment tidy along with a hand written note welcoming us into her home. She was prompt to respond to any inquiries that we may have had. 

Dinosaur is the best cat ever! She's so pretty and playful and curios; we had a great time with her company! Thank you so much for a great experience, we will be sure to tell everyone we know when they go to Austin :) 5/5 would rent again!"
5632201,28190821,2015-03-19,2621091,Christopher,Ale has now become a great life long friend of mine. He was very accommodating and I couldn't have asked for a better host .

2104280,12320416,2014-04-28,14659925,Natali,The house is beautiful and in a perfect location! My family loved it! I will definitely rent from Brooke again!! She is so kind and responds quickly to any questions you have.  
2104280,23424724,2014-12-01,19745910,Emily,Very nice house and quaint neighborhood.
2104280,27203459,2015-02-28,25278527,Michael,"An absolutely splendidly appointed home, decorated to the highest degree of taste - yet not lacking a little witty dash of austin ""weirdness"". Kitted out with everything you could imagine; you will probably leave this house with a certifiable case of domestic envy - we did. Brooke was beyond helpful in assisting us with navigating austin, checking in/out and accommodating an infant, all with a friendly demeanour and minimal fuss. I can only give my highest recommendation of both property and host from my recent rental experience at Casa di Miguel. Thanks Brooke! "
2104280,28441577,2015-03-23,29389977,Ricky,Very satisfied with the place and how the host had everyone prepared for us in PDF as far as instructions and rules.  By far the best experience from any Airbnb we ever had!
2104280,34398492,2015-06-08,25596073,Emily,"Brooke's home was extremely clean and stocked with everyone you could ever hope your vacation home to have; blow dryer, curling iron, washer/dryer, iHome docking stations in every room,etc.  Great location!!"
2104280,40925700,2015-08-03,34876177,Tracy,We had a great experience at Brooke's house. A group was in town for a reunion weekend and rented this property. It is just as cute as in the pictures and located on a nice quiet street in a great neighborhood. Lots of restaurants nearby and very close to downtown. Brooke was helpful and easy to get in touch with. Great experience overall!
2104280,46142357,2015-09-08,17798901,Nicole,"This was the perfect spot for our girls getaway!  First of all, the house is in an AWESOME neighborhood.  We walked to the South Congress area and checked out Hotel San Jose, Magnolia Cafe, and some other great spots.  If you're not much of a walker, it's a super short cab/uber ride.  The neighborhood is a great mix of modern houses and craftsman bungalows and is just perfect.  

The house itself was absolutely amazing!  I would love it if Brooke could come and design my home!  It was beautiful, stylish, yet still comfy and warm.  And ladies,  three full bathrooms!  Wonderful layout with the bedrooms on one side, family area and kitchen on the other.  Also laundry, a big garage, and a great screened-in porch off the master bedroom.  Every last detail is luxurious - the countertops, the fixtures, the lighting, the draperies, the appliances, the bedding, the eclectic mix of art.  All beautiful. 

Brooke was so easy to work with.  She answered all our questions and got back to me right away each time I emailed leading up to and during our trip.  

Her app made checking in and out a breeze!  I had all the information I needed right on my phone.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this place.  I now want to live in Austin in this neighborhood.

We had such a fabulous time. Thank you!"
2104280,47615826,2015-09-21,29658739,Emily,"We couldn't have asked for a more perfect house for my bachelorette party (8 women)! The furnishings were beautiful, the house was immaculate, and the layout/setup was ideal for such a large party of women. We weren't lacking any bathroom/""get ready"" space, and the kitchen/dining/living room was perfect for large group conversations. The location is amazing, too! We were so close to Barton Springs, everything happening on South Congress and 1st, and were a short ride to downtown. We don't have a single complaint!"
2104280,49263463,2015-10-02,752315,Jia-Wei,"We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful home that was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Everything that you needed was included, and the house is situated a short walk away from restaurants, cafes and a mini-market. A wonderful stay! "
2104280,51134470,2015-10-18,8719641,Alina,"Family of four stayed at the property for 4 nights mid October. I must say it was the nicest house during our vacation, very much liked about everything. Returning in the evening after a full day to this peaceful though central neighnborhood was like coming home. 
Perfect floorplan with a very special airy feeling and separated 'bedroom wing', very well appointed kitchen with direct acces from the large garage - People, you'd LOVE that as a permanent home!
Going out was hard because of the choice of fine (not necessarily fancy!) and inviting places in nearly walking distance albeit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The drive to downtown hardly took 10' also when crowded.
Kitchen table is a great place, laundry facilities are a dream (for me they are :-)), bedrooms each with its own en suite bathroom are very nice and cozy, the walkable closet in the master bedroom with two!! doors off the bathroom is a good idea. The toilet between sink and shower isn't, but than ... it's not a spoiler.

LOVED IT! If you can afford it, the family home with an extra terrace off the master bedroom enclosed by insect net will make your Austin vacation A LOT better. thanks, Brooke

Oh, the owner ... ! : she was very responsive, nice and accommodating, flexible and generally a good host - there when you need her, not - when you don't. always friendly. thanks again."
234194,12310079,2014-04-28,12672196,Caitlin,"Beautiful, clean, quiet home in a lovely area to explore. CJ was easy going and adjusted to our late arrival schedule.  "
234194,13132403,2014-05-20,12317896,Philip,"Peaceful, it is. Blissfully quiet. Gorgeous countryside. CJ is a delightful hostess--knowledgeable and helpful. Her house is comfortable decorated with interesting artwork. Nice restaurants within a short driving distance. Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is worth a visit. We recommend CJ's highly!"
234194,20857932,2014-10-06,13038359,Amy,"CJ was great! House and room were beautiful, location was quiet and peaceful, her dogs were very friendly. It was a nice low-key experience which is exactly what I needed."
234194,28402122,2015-03-23,27696853,Nate,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and CJ was awesome.  I was in town for SXSW and to visit family and CJ was completely accomodating -- very cool about me coming in late at night or leaving early in the morning.  The room was cheerful and comfy, just as described.  The house has great views of the surrounding hill country. After welcoming me with coffee CJ gave me a quick intro to the neighborhood.  This area of Austin -- near Dripping Springs is sublime and funky at the same time and only 20 minutes to downtown Austin.  But even if you never leave the neighborhood there is plenty to keep you entertained.  There is live music and great food at the Nutty Brown Cafe right around the corner and yummy breakfast tacos at the convenience store on the way to town.  I will definitely stay with CJ on my next trip to Austin."
234194,28856612,2015-03-30,17536939,Amber,CJ's  place was beautiful just as the listing stated. The view from her upstairs balcony is gorgeous. The bed was really comfortable. She is a wonderful host. We had some great conversations. She is a talented artist and easy going Would definitely stay with her again. 
234194,30359502,2015-04-20,5901436,Annette,"My husband and I are so happy we got to stay at CJ's.  The room was great--exactly as pictured--the bed comfortable, two bedside tables, a work table, accessible outlets, roomy closet, lots of hot water, etc. etc..  CJ was really easy-going and friendly, showing us the upstairs deck and making it clear we were welcome to hang out up there.  She made sure I'd noticed the guidebooks in our room.  I had overlooked them, and they gave me the exact info I'd been searching for online.  Both CJ and her housemate were really fun people to talk to and I feel lucky that I got to hear CJ practice a gorgeous piece on her piano.  We also enjoyed a bit of roaming on the property, there were quite a few wildflowers blooming at the time.  "
234194,30850714,2015-04-27,31912583,Sarali,My first experience with Airbnb and I'm grateful it was at Cjs. Cj calmed my first timer nerves the moment she greeted me on her drive way. An exceptional host from start to finish! Cjs home is peaceful and wrapped in a beautiful lush green landscape. Amazing view from her second floor balcony! 
234194,32730594,2015-05-20,32933996,Heath,Room and property has been just as described. Lovely house and area of Texas. CJ and Catherine have been great. Thanks....
234194,44410831,2015-08-26,32933996,Heath," I was in need of a long term, but temporary place to stay in Austin while setting up a new living arrangement for my family after being retired from the Army. CJ was very accommodating to my need after I wrote her about my situation. The stay at her place was stress free and just what I needed since I took a job in Austin back in May. She was also helpful above and beyond expectations of a normal business transaction. So much so that she even went to my new house, since I had to work that day, and waited for a new refrigerator delivery so that it would be there in time for the arrival of my three daughters coming in from DC. I would recommend a stay with CJ, be it for a couple days in and around Austin, or if you need something for a little (or a lot) longer like myself. Her place is out in the hill country of rural Austin, but is still within 20-30 minutes of anywhere you want to go in or around Austin. So you get a very quiet and serene location to stay but still close to the city, best of both worlds. On a personal note, thank you CJ for your help in this transition for me back into civilian life. Staying at your place, rather than something like an extended stay hotel or efficiency apartment, was great in that it was more like a home than a long hotel stay. This was great for me in getting a real feel for the Austin neighborhoods and surrounding areas as I was looking to purchase a family home. I also feel as though I made a friend in CJ and can't wait for her to be able to sit down to a dinner and meet my family. Thanks for everything CJ !!!  "
234194,46233550,2015-09-08,7101236,Jed,"CJ coordinated our arrival well and was extremely welcoming. The picture is exactly as the room was, down to the pillow count!

Some minor issues in the bathroom but CJ was quick to address them. Overall a very pleasant experience in a great environment."
234194,47884666,2015-09-21,44196189,Nicholas,"Location was great, the scenery was beautiful, and the room was as advertised. With that said, I was a little surprised to find that there was someone else living there (individual didn't know anyone was coming in either). So we had to share a dirty bathroom for the stay, which also had no toilet paper. The room was fairly warm and uncomfortable so we had to leave the room door open to circulate air which left us with little sleep, as lights were on most of the night (2 a.m.) and other folks in the house were up and about. Place has lots of potential but left me not wanting to stay there again. A simple heads up was all that was needed. "
234194,50087190,2015-10-09,28317156,Mitchell,"CJ was an amazing host. This was my first AirBnB experience and I can't imagine it being better. The room was clean, the house is beautiful, I used the Internet from the living room on a comfy sofa chair in the evening, and CJ went above and beyond. 

This is not really an uber-friendly location and although I didn't push or ask, CJ went out of her way to drive me the 2 miles to the Wizard Academy both mornings and to downtown Austin on the 3rd day as our schedules coincided. The first night she even picked up a couple bananas and granola cereal when she realized I was in her home without a car for the evening. Her piano playing is a bonus.  I really enjoyed my stay and my interactions with her and would do it again."
234194,51896419,2015-10-25,41299470,Thomas,Thanks Cj for the great 2 days I had staying at your wonderful home in Austin! I really enjoyed the very nice room and clean bathroom and of course your very friendly support in any situation. Hope to see you again sometime. Take care. Thomas / Meckenheim Germany 
1461517,8086101,2013-10-15,8259697,Dillon,Richard was a great host. I had a blast during my stay in Austin and he was a big part of it. Definitely recommend this stay for others. 
1461517,11038921,2014-03-17,7010398,Janelle,"I never got to meet Richard because of our opposite schedules, but he was very helpful right from the moment I contacted him. The apartment was in a safe neighborhood and was right next to the bus stop, as well as Target and other convenience stores. The room we stayed in was empty except for a comfortable air bed and a night stand, which was all that we needed. While we didn't use the kitchen, it looked completely stacked. Our trip was short, but Richard was very accommodating and made for a pleasant and comfortable trip."
1461517,20876756,2014-10-06,4048634,Guillermo,"Richard was very nice as a host, he gave us some tips about the city and offer us some snacks and drinks. His apartment is very well located. The room was comfortable enough for 2 nights."
1461517,28467375,2015-03-24,1380202,Ian,Richard was great. He showed me all the bus stops and best places to eat as soon as I got there. Very accomodating during my time there. 
1461517,49516709,2015-10-04,6321261,Earl,"Richard was by far the best host I've ever had when using Airbnb. A buddy and I stayed for the weekend of ACL and Rich made sure we enjoyed our time in Austin. I would highly recommend staying with Rich. Next time I am in Austin, I already have a place crash!"
5813732,40244814,2015-07-29,29832171,Logan,We stayed at two different locations that Scott owns and both were extremely clean upon arrival. Very very satisfied with our stay and would highly recommend Scott if you're looking for a place to stay in the Austin area. 
8613818,50409754,2015-10-11,46039077,Chandy,We all felt very welcome and had a great time. Patrick made our stay easy and delightful. Very clean apartment with plenty of room.

A beautiful kitchen, living room, dining room, and amazing bedrooms make me wish this was home.  The location was great for our use at SXSW.  Far enough away that the noise and action is low, but close enough to walk to everything - only 20-25 minute walk across the bridge.   

Whitney was so easy and great to work with, I would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends.  She was very easy to communicate with, and made sure we had what we needed prior to our stay.   "
702294,28000883,2015-03-16,3512862,Hale,"Whitney's place is great!  Comfortable and charming, close enough to everything (10 min taxi to downtown or SoCo) but in a quiet and pretty neighborhood.  Whitney and Dave made us feel truly welcome."
702294,28390618,2015-03-23,17168765,Tasha,Our stay at this Austin was home in Travis Heights was definitely enjoyable.  Upon our arrival Whitney left us with a care package including local magazines and some local treats.  The location was out of the hustle and bustle but only 1 mile from Auditorium Shores where my co-worker and I spent all of our time.  We rented some bicycles and found access anywhere in the city.  This place is definitely a great spot if your looking for the comforts of home in Austin.
702294,30737112,2015-04-26,13241179,Jeremy,The house was perfect for our weekend getaway.  Very close to both south congress shopping and 6th Street nightlife.  I accidentally left a few things and Whitney was kind enough to leave them in the mailbox for a friend to come pick them up.
702294,33030057,2015-05-24,33349467,Kristina,"My family of five stayed for three nights and it was a very positive first AirBnb experience. The house is beautifully restored and big enough for all of us to be comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked (though we only ate one meal at the house because Austin's food scene is incredible!). Whitney was a great host, easily accessible via email or text throughout the stay, and left sweet treats for us upon arrival. The house is in a great location close to South Congress but in a nice neighborhood with not too much city noise. We will definitely stay here again if given the chance."
702294,46089403,2015-09-07,43206658,John,"Whitney's house is the perfect spot for anyone looking to explore anything and everything that makes Austin unique! My friends and I stayed over Labor Day weekend and were able to easily access S. Congress, S. Lamar, Rainey, and Sixth Streets with uber rides that were, at most, $10.00 during peak business hours. The house is just as it looks and the showers are EXCELLENT. She has everything you could ever need if you would rather cook at home than go out to eat, granted, it is Austin, so you might want to skip the eating at home bit. The backyard is a great place to relax between forays out into town, as is the cozy living room. I would highly recommend this location to anyone."
702294,47857617,2015-09-21,39768683,Nayana,"Our stay was great. The place matched the description and was so clean with lots of towels and sheets to make our stay comfortable. Whitney had the place ready for us by our check-in time and gave us detailed instructions on how to enter (keyless entry - woot!) and checkout. At the house, the kitchen is great with tons of plates, glasses and anything else you need. There were 2 beds in the house that could sleep 2 people each with an air mattress that could also sleep 2 people and a couch that could sleep 1. The outdoor area and the hammock were great for us to just hang out. To get to downtown or 6th, it is a 10 minute Uber/Lyft drive. There's tons of parking space if you have a car or visitors. My group of friends really liked the place! "
702294,50450498,2015-10-12,19232715,Yu-Chien,Whitney was a gracious host. Made everything easy for our time in Austin!
702294,51175512,2015-10-18,43809706,Andrew,"We had a great stay at this house in Travis Heights! Whitney welcomed us with an assorted six pack of Texas beers in the fridge and the house was perfect for our needs. The location was also great! It was in a nice residential neighborhood very close to downtown and a lot of great restaurants. Everything we wanted to do was a short drive away.

There were plenty of sheets and towels and the house was very clean and put together. Access to the house was very easy and overall, it was a really positive and smooth experience."
813709,3585224,2013-02-19,4513791,Mara,"Pete's place was perfect for us.  Great neighborhood, in walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and fantastic coffee shop (Quack's), and an easy drive to anywhere else we wanted to go - campus, 6th Street, SoCo, etc.  The place was spotless and looks just like the pictures.  Comfy bed, good wifi, and we love having a mini-kitchen at our disposal.  A great place to stay while visiting Austin!"
813709,3976975,2013-04-01,4991861,Tom,"My wife and I were in Austin to attend the wedding of a friends' son at the Lady Bird Johnson Wild Flower Center.  They were providing transportation so we wanted a place close to the boarding area which was in Hyde Park.  It is a quaint lovely area populated by beautiful old  homes of all sizes and shapes.  Pete Gilcrease's Cozy Bright Hyde Park Guest House was a perfect match for us.  Clean and comfortable with parking behind the house is  very convenient. We were both pleased with the mattress which felt much like our Temperpedic at home.  When I had a problem figuring out the TV Pete came over and showed me how it worked.  Within a few blocks are a local  grocery store, and a couple of good restaurants that we enjoyed.  If you are looking for an affordable cheery place this is the place for you.  "
813709,4765001,2013-05-24,6421568,Virginia,"Great location, very comfortable bed, clean unit, excellent wifi, quiet and charming residential neighborhood.  Fun visit!"
813709,5345546,2013-06-25,6415149,Regina,My husband and I stayed here while we visited our daughter who lives nearby.  Hyde Park is the perfect location and such a nice neighborhood.  This a very comfortable apartment with plenty of room and the kitchenette was very helpful.  We had a wonderful time visiting Austin and this is a great place to stay!  
813709,5652634,2013-07-09,7241357,Michael,"Pete's studio was great! Easy location in to downtown and south Austin while Hyde Park has a charm of it's own.

I would highly recommend staying here and Pete is super nice. My only regret is not getting to meet his pugs myself."
813709,9002697,2013-12-01,9816627,Pat,Great location and perfect size.  Well maintained and comfortable.  
813709,9965890,2014-01-21,571127,Keith,"The place was perfect for our visiting speaker!  Clean, compact, quiet and a sampling of all the comforts of home. Pete was a great host, communicated well, and delivered everything he promised. He went over and above and had excellent follow up after checkout as well. Would definitely recommend this to others. "
813709,12786152,2014-05-11,13414714,Christopher,"A great Airbnb experience! Pete was efficient and polite, and his little studio-type apartment was ideal for me and at a good price. Too location too. All-in-all, I'd highly recommend Pete and his apartments! Chris"
813709,14201675,2014-06-14,601849,Alaina,"I had a great stay at Pete's apartment. Pete provided great directions, the apartment was clean and quiet. The neighborhood was very nice, seemed safe and had several restaurants within a few blocks. "
813709,23208889,2014-11-25,6415149,Regina,"Our second time at Pete's apartment - Another great visit to Austin and Pete's apartment is a perfect place to stay.  The location in Hyde Park has easy access to stores, downtown and the highway. We loved having a kitchen for breakfast and snacks.  He is a wonderful host!  "
813709,27786173,2015-03-11,27928961,Lily,"Pete was a great host. While we didn't meet him personally, he left clear instructions on the Wifi password, check out, and even had suggestions for places to go. I'm familiar with Austin though which is one of the reasons why I chose his listing because it is in the Hyde Park area. It's a very convenient location and a nice quiet neighborhood compared to closer to the UT campus. The space itself was very nice and clean. It was a very comfortable stay, and I'd definitely recommend it for most travelers. Pete definitely does a good job of hosting."
813709,41399535,2015-08-07,23931490,Jessica,"I contacted Pete about an apartment for an employee in my company that was staying in Austin for a month.  Pete was very easy to reach and received a positive review based on our employee's feedback, ""The apartment was great. Pete was very helpful and responded quickly whenever something came up.""

Thanks Pete!  We will definitely consider contacting you should a similar situation arise in the future!  

"
813709,52861017,2015-11-02,37040393,K,"My stay in the unit was absolutely seamless. The unit was very clean, and exactly as described/pictured in the listing. The neighborhood is quiet and charming. 

Pete was professional, welcoming, accommodating, easy to reach, and eager to answer any question I had. 

Be sure you check out Quack's Bakery down the street for great coffee and baked goods. I recommend the Salty Oat cookie, but everything looks delicious. 

All in all, I had an excellent stay and highly recommend it."
7733669,49393398,2015-10-03,6800654,Jonathan & Allison,"This place is great...one of the best we've stayed at on Airbnb. The bed was quite comfortable, the place was extremely clean, and the hosts are great!  

Also, you will not find a better place for the money. Full studio for this price and location is great! It's close enough to Austin and Dripping springs if you plan to be in either. We were in town for a wedding and did some hiking, and this place was just great.

Chelle and her family are extremely gracious hosts (even when we arrived well around midnight, they were there to greet us). We had breakfast and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we got there. 

We even got to meet and feed their chickens (which was a big perk for my wife). 

We would most definitely stay with them again!"
7733669,50528730,2015-10-12,38964620,Erick,"Chelle was more of a friend than a host which instantly made us feel at home. The pictures are exactly what you get, they do not exaggerate, and the listing itself does not fall short from the description. The room as well as the neighborhood is beautiful, open roads and fields with a great sight of the stars."
7733669,51080411,2015-10-17,37256183,Andres,"Casita Bohemia was perfect for our evening in Dripping springs. It was clean and the space was very welcoming. Unfortunately I did not get to meet Chelle due to our short stay and out schedule. However Chelle was always in touch and very helpful, she even left us a bottle of wine which was very much appreciated. I would absolutely return to the Casita Bohemia "
7733669,51500827,2015-10-20,17900802,Mikey,"Our stay at Chelle's was more than great! She always made sure things were in place and that we were content. The place was in great shape, bed was comfy, there's honestly not one thing I could complain about. And she even made breakfast! Her blueberry muffins are to die for"
3163510,19956243,2014-09-21,20658962,Elaine,Mieille made sure that I had everything I needed. The house was great! I felt very safe with the keypad lock system that is used for the house. The bed was so comfortable and the shower/bathroom was very clean. Great location and walking distance to 6th st. and whole foods! I will stay here again when we visit to Austin.
3163510,20373705,2014-09-28,2183400,Eric,"Mireille was a great host.  Plenty of well thought out information was provided before arrival which made us feel welcome and safe.  The place was just as we had hoped, cute and clean.  The neighborhood was perfect....just far enough from all the bars to be quiet, but not too far from the fun.  We would stay again---no complaints!!"
3163510,20822789,2014-10-06,12773044,Chris,"Mireille was an excellent host. Upon arrival there was a bottle of wine and some chocolate for us, as well as a binder with recommendations for food/drink in the neighborhood, wifi network and password, and all the guidelines clearly listed. The rental was in a great location, perfect for easy access to Zilker Park for Austin City Limits, within walking distance to a bevy of stores and restaurants, but also nice and quiet which allowed for some great nights of sleep. The porch and back patio were excellent for sipping coffee in the mornings or relaxing at night before going to bed. All in all, we had an excellent experience and would strongly consider returning if ever back in Austin."
3163510,21002274,2014-10-09,11580268,John,"We had a great time at place! The neighbourhood was nice, quiet and residential. And it was also close to 6h street to walk.Also the place has a beautiful front porch with a swing to relax after a long day or night of exploring the city!

Mireille left us some recommendations to visit with contact information and everything we needed to know. Before and throughout our stay Mireille always responded very quickly to the odd question. Excellent host!"
3163510,21067897,2014-10-10,11305017,Monica,We had a great night here! It was clean and comfortable and in a great location! I wish we could have stayed longer!
3163510,21132067,2014-10-12,20289544,Mariah,"We loved our stay at Mireille's. Her communication was incredible and replied to every questions so quickly. We had an amazing stay, especially because everything was made so easy by her. The location is amazing as you can walk to many different places in Austin. We'd definitely stay here again!
"
3163510,22104943,2014-10-30,21419198,Arthur,"Mireille was extremely prompt and well organized. The suite was just as we had hoped - clean, comfortable, and in a great location. I would recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin."
3163510,22437755,2014-11-06,7180303,Jennifer,Very walkable to a great part of Austin.

3163510,23103422,2014-11-23,22553296,Caitlin,"Mireille was a great host and her apartment was just as described...charming, cozy, and in a fantastic location! My sister and I made the trip to explore Austin more from a ""local"" perspective and Mireille provided fantastic suggestions on places to visit and eat. Mireille does a great job of creating a home away from home for her guests. "
3163510,23419892,2014-11-30,24256541,Garrick,"Our host, Mireille, was great! The place was as listed. I am very satisfied with my stay here. Next time my friends and I come back to Austin, we will definitely be staying at Mireille's place!! Right in the heart of downtown and walking distance to 6th St. "
3163510,23487092,2014-12-01,23636173,Mari,We needed a place to stay last minute and Mireille was very accommodating! The wine and chocolate that awaited us was so nice after a stressful day of traveling. Thank you!
3163510,23794289,2014-12-10,20353986,Trisha,Wonderful little place with great location. Thank you Marielle!!!
3163510,23979584,2014-12-15,4539407,Josh,"It was great! Wonderful location, clean, comfy bed, free wine and chocolate, coffee, free easy parking...which is always welcome. If I was to be picky, I would say that it was a little bare. Definitely not lived in, not much character, plain. But I WOULD recommend this place. Thanks!!"
3163510,24124997,2014-12-20,10063123,Austin,"Accurate description, greeted with wine and chocolate.  Great experience and very comfortable place."
3163510,25072071,2015-01-05,9489489,Liz,"Mireille was very accommodating and made the stay very comfortable! We were here for a quick weekend getaway and the space was perfect for the two of us. 

The space itself was very clean and it was a nice extra touch to be greeted with chocolates and wine. 

We did have a car, but chose to take cabs at night and the location was very close to everything. We spent little to no money getting to the nightlife of Austin. 
 
I would recommend staying here to anyone!"
3163510,25310597,2015-01-12,3141278,Matt,"My wife and I had a great stay in Austin for a cold week in January. While we never met, Mireille was a great, accommodating and responsive host. She quickly found our weak spot with a bottle of wine and chocolate awaiting our arrival. 

The home was convenient to the WholeFoods and a number of nice little restaurants. The apartment is one of three units and for any light sleepers, like me, be warned that the walls (and ceilings) are somewhat thin and you are at the mercy of the other tenants with regards to the ambient noise. That being said, the king-sized bed was a marshmallow dream.

The apartment furnishings are a touch sparse and the overall feel is that of an efficiency rather than a cozy home. But for the price, location and amenities, I think it's fair to say that you get what you pay for. "
3163510,25536746,2015-01-19,21148159,Samantha,"Our stay in Austin was amazing and it all started with Mireille's wonderful welcome with chocolate and wine. The cozy home is just as described and the location can not be beat. It was roomy enough for our party of four and within walking distance to many Austin must-sees, including several tasty restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. "
3163510,25645600,2015-01-21,3804560,Colleen,The house was exactly as described. A perfect location & lots to do within walking distance.  Mirielle was a very organized & communicative host.
3163510,25914599,2015-01-29,14925060,Greg,"We absolutely loved staying at Mireille's apartment.  It was clean, comfortable, and wonderfully located within walking distance of lots of bars/restaurants and attractions - and she even left us a bottle of wine and a snack.  Would definitely recommend to anyone else visiting Austin."
3163510,26123546,2015-02-03,19870097,Arnold,"Mireille was super accommodating as we were stranded in Austin due to the blizzard in Chicago.  She was easy to communicate with and attentive to our needs.  The place is as described, all the conveniences we needed.  The bottle of wine was a nice touch.  I was hoping for some poutine, but I'll have to make arrangements next time for a future visit. :)"
3163510,26171945,2015-02-05,1843587,James,"I booked the space for a quick stop through Austin on my birthday; I never met Mireille, but everything was taken care of, and it was easy to gain access. The house is pretty bare bones, but it covers the basic needs, and it's only about a mile out from downtown, which is nice. "
3163510,26484393,2015-02-14,9058584,Joanna,"Fantastic location in nice neighborhood. This is a basic vacation rental - no frills but adequate. If you're a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you as the walls and ceilings are paper thin. The backyard and driveway are shared. "
3163510,26916200,2015-02-22,11584966,Josh,"this place is a cozy and cute little spot in a great part of town.  Miereille was super helpful and was nice enough to leave us a bottle of wine and some chocolate. always a bonus! Staying here was great because you can walk to all the nearby stuff on 6th street, plus a few other locales that aren't much further. it has everything you need for a weekend away or a short business trip or whatever brings you to Austin. 
My one complaint isn't even really a complaint, but a comment. If you're someone that wants to sleep late on the weekend and can't handle a little noise, there are tenants upstairs with a young child. This wasn't really an issue for us, but this is an older house and there isn't a lot of insulation in the floor. They weren't that loud, but if you're looking for the quiet and sterility of the Hilton, this place probably isn't for you. "
3163510,27054498,2015-02-24,7296927,Phil,"Great location and a nice place to stay. The neighbourhood is interesting and really convenient for downtown. The house is fairly basic but well equipped with pretty much everything you could need. The rental is the ground floor only so we heard some noise from the neighbours above, but not late at night so this didn't disturb us. If more than two people are sharing this rental, be aware that the bathroom must be accessed through the bedroom.
We found Mireille very responsive and helpful and would certainly consider staying here again."
3163510,27708852,2015-03-09,12847067,Phillip,great location and everything was super easy!
3163510,27908706,2015-03-14,3659930,New,This was a nice and easy location for downtown Austin.  Quiet little place to stay.  The location was very clean and had all of the essentials.  I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to stay in downtown Austin.
3163510,28348767,2015-03-22,15389105,Brad,The experience was fine. The apartment was clean and the host was organized.
3163510,28585584,2015-03-26,2618301,Gunnar,"This location could not have been more perfect!!  It really is close to everything in Austin, and the house itself is very well kept and spacious.  I love the keyless entry and easy street parking!  It's perfect for one or more persons!  I highly recommend!!"
3163510,28696698,2015-03-29,3175434,Angelique,"The host was very responsive and helped us out a lot, emailing back quickly while we were on site and being accommodating to our needs. The house was what the description indicated it would be. "
3163510,29021082,2015-04-02,16726876,Clinton,Great location and easy coordination in getting everything set.  We really enjoyed our stay.  
3163510,29468598,2015-04-07,30433443,Cherie,"Mireille was quick to respond to our requests. We had a problem with the tenants upstairs having a dog that barked and whined all night the first night we stayed there. 

I informed mireille and she dealt with the situation promptly. The tenants had the dog there without her knowledge. She was also kind enough to refund our first night fee in compensation for the sleepless night. We really appreciated her efforts. 

We enjoyed the flat and in such a great location. We traveled with our twin toddlers and there was plenty to do within walking/ biking distance. "
3163510,29798645,2015-04-12,30805004,Heather,"This house was in a good location and very well kept. We were in town visiting for the weekend and certainly enjoyed our stay. There was an issue with some people in the neighborhood entering the property while we were gone, however, which made for a bit of an uncomfortable atmosphere. Outside of this incident, the residence was very enjoyable. "
3163510,30132915,2015-04-18,5555614,Daniel,The home was great and the perfect size for my friend and I. It was completely clean and had everything we needed to navigate and enjoy our time in Austin. We especially enjoyed the swing on the front porch. The neighborhood was quiet and in a good location. Many solid food choices in the area. Mireille was a fantastic host and was extremely flexible by allowing us to checkin 4 hours early. Highly recommend. 
3163510,30459345,2015-04-22,29820451,Kari,"We stayed at Mireille's for 5 days. The apartment was basic but clean and functional, the bed was comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We particularly enjoyed the front porch swing, and the location is excellent - it is in a lovely neighborhood, and it is walkable to Whole Foods, to many restaurants and coffee shops, and to the main drag downtown. As others noted, you can hear just about everything the other Air BNBers do upstairs, through no fault of theirs - there is just very poor sound insulation between floors. So if you're a light sleeper, plan on earplugs. The combination of location, cleanliness, and price was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again."
3163510,30757340,2015-04-27,26118883,Melissa,House was within walking distance of several amenities. Host also left recommendations for restaurants and things to do. 
3163510,31003650,2015-04-30,31033321,Tatiana,The place was extremely well located and the property was clean and just adorable.  Communication with the owner was flawless and I highly recommend this property.
3163510,31216901,2015-05-03,9131137,Joey,"Had a fantastic weekend in Austin with my wife and two small dogs at Mireille's place. We received all necessary info about the front door access code well in advance and had no problem checking in after the drive from Houston. Inside, we found a convenient list of local walkable bars and restaurants and a welcome bottle of wine. Z'Tejas, Josephine House, Whole Foods, and several other bars, restaurants, and Austin hotspots are within easy walking distance. We also walked through Zilker Park and down to Barton Springs with the dogs, leaving the car behind.

It's a triplex, so the back yard is shared. It's a huge yard and was fully fenced for the dogs. The home is in a beautiful, hilly neighborhood."
3163510,31823344,2015-05-10,22473069,Lisa,"mireille was very responsive to any questions that i had, and gave me a great list of various activities, restaurants, and great neighborhoods.  The Cottage is in a fairly quiet area, yet is very close to the downtown area and public transportation.  

simple decor and a large enough space to really feel at home.  Did not utilize the kitchen, but it seems that most things are available."
3163510,32225358,2015-05-15,32937429,Dan,"Although my stay was short, this lovely home made for a great home base while in Austin. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment was very spacious. I also appreciated the proximity to downtown Austin. If/when I come back I will most likely book this place again. 
Thanks for a great stay!"
3163510,32955555,2015-05-24,25495761,Lisa,"Mireille answered any questions I had in such a wonderful timely manner, the location was close to everything and clean. We were able to reserve the upstairs as well as the downstairs for our family for Graduation time ! It worked out fantastic !! We received all necessary info about the front door access code well in advance and had no problem checking in ! I would definitely stay here again !!"
3163510,33699376,2015-05-31,30433443,Cherie,"This was my second stay with Mireille. Austin had suffered a lot of damage from severe storms and flooding. The unit had some water damage in the kitchen - the ceiling was leaking when we arrived. Mireille had informed us of the damage the day before our arrival and a contractor was supposed to have fixed it before our arrival. Unfortunately this had not happened. The until was very damp with an unpleasant smell. I contacted Mireille who had her contractor come and take a look the next day. They also put in a dehumidifier. It was better but not that great. 

The unit is feeling pretty run down at the moment. The sofa bed is almost on its last legs I think and was pretty uncomfortable for sleeping. I'm not sure I would choose to stay there again. Mireille is very responsive to any request however and the unit is in such a great location. "
3163510,33974011,2015-06-02,22549465,Kathryn,"The host made us feel welcome by leaving a little gift, the neighborhood was adorable and close enough to everything you want in Austin but not noisy at all. "
3163510,34364878,2015-06-07,28771633,Tawny,"Mireille's place has a great location. It was very easy to access the house and it had a very cozy feel. Mireille was also very responsive to any quick questions I had. High security deposit, but overall it was a pleasant time."
3163510,34970592,2015-06-14,15977250,Jessica,"We loved this apartment! Mirielle was great and very responsive when we had questions about some work being done outside. She also recommended restaurants in the area, including an oyster bar a couple blocks away - we ate there everyday! The location is great and you can walk downtown if you want, but you also have everything you need right nearby. Having the Whole Foods down the street is so convenient! Plus, the bed was SO comfortable."
3163510,35398643,2015-06-18,2145638,Joyce,Mirelle is very responsive and the pics and description of the unit are accurate. Great place to many walking venues.
3163510,36791866,2015-07-01,30870225,Lindsay,"What a wonderful time! We had a blast! The home was in a great location, and the bed was amazingly comfy! Mireille was so sweet and helpful! We will definitely be back!"
3163510,37806136,2015-07-10,477170,Lorissa,"Cute and very convenient place to stay. The bed was extremely comfortable and the AC was awesome considering the 90+ temperatures outside.  Walking distance to many Austin eateries, bars, and shops.  Mireille was very accommodating.  "
3163510,38055769,2015-07-12,30769441,John,"This was an excellent location from great food, nice hiking, and local stores.  It was also easy access from the Mopac and CapTex Hwy.  I enjoyed the stay and would certainly book here again."
3163510,38509278,2015-07-16,35050647,Robert,"The home, neighborhood, and hospitality were great. Very clean and cozy home."
3163510,38863993,2015-07-19,32283191,Leah,"Our experience with Mireille was wonderful. She contacted me the week before to let us know the key code. Upon arrival we were surprised to find wine and candy to start our girls weekend. Everything was clean and worked perfectly. There was coffee and towels, the bed was incredibly comfortable. Mireille made it clear that she was available for any questions we had. "
3163510,39453620,2015-07-23,21851237,Jeff,"Super cute place. Lots of character. Fantastic location. Exactly as described. We slept 2 adults and 2 kids with no trouble. Street parking was always available right in front.  Mireille had everything ready for us.  There is an electronic lock with a code, so keys were not an issue, even with my late night arrival. I will look to stay here again when I am back."
3163510,39700914,2015-07-25,38937197,Lynn,"Our first Airbnb experience was really great.  Mireille is a great host - we felt welcome the moment we walked through the door. The accommodations were perfect - and like all the past reviews, the most comfy bed ever and the house was clean.  From the mouths of my girls ""the shower/water pressure is awesome.""

This was our first Airbnb experience. We locked ourselves out (purse in the house w/ my phone & car keys) in the first 10 minutes.  Note to self: print/pocket the entry code. We were able to get in touch with Mireille (yay for my teen with a cell phone) through having her download the Airbnb app, problem solved quickly!  

We were in town for a college visit to UT, but wanted to get more of a feel of Austin outside of being hotel guests. The location was perfect - we walked to 6th street for coffee, dinner and took a short drive to SoCo to browse shops and eat there as well.  We swam at Barton Springs in the morning, and my two girls kayaked on Lady Bird Lake. A whirlwind quick trip, but able to enjoy the city, food, scenery, and get a taste of the best of most things - will be better when the girls older and can listen to great music at some night spots.

If my daughter ends up going to UT, we will have to book this place for our weekend visits. Hook 'em.

Todo fue perfecto: el barrio, la casa, la limpieza y la atención. 

Muchas gracias Mireille. Espero podamos regresar pronto :)"
3163510,41830303,2015-08-09,5367482,Mariana,Good location. Mireille was very responsive.

3163510,45983729,2015-09-07,37325592,Caroline,"Mireille's place is charming, in a wonderful location, and she is a very responsive host.  Aside from a minor mechanical mishap (dishwasher was inoperable), our stay there was perfect, and the porch swing was a special treat!"
3163510,46791312,2015-09-13,42878622,Valeria,Nice little house close to 6th street. Comfy bed + sofa bed. Convenient location & quiet neighborhood. Minor problems with the bathroom due to the fact that it's an older house but overall good experience. 
3163510,47188489,2015-09-16,16948038,James,Really great place to stay. Pleasant exterior and yard. Very clean and minimalistic interior. House is also really close to a lot of great shops and restaurants on Congress St.  
3163510,47689342,2015-09-21,18764993,Elaine,"Great place for a home base Austin! Everything we wanted to visit was 10mins away. The place was perfect for our group of 3, the bed is super comfortable. I would definitely return and stay here!"
3163510,48313026,2015-09-25,42945333,Carmen,We had an amazing time in Austin and this home was absolutely perfect for our family! Was super close to everything down town and weather was perfect! Never had an issue getting in touch with Mireille through out our trip!! We will def be coming back again!! Thanks Mireille 
3163510,48689876,2015-09-28,80679,Joanne,"Although Mireille was not there to show us around, she was with me every step of the way through text and through email. Everything was detailed and I definitely didn't have any additional questions because of all the adequate information about the apartment! My friends and I were in town for a wedding and this was a perfect location next to all the hotspots in downtown Austin (food + bars around a 15 min walk or a few mins uber ride).

Everything in the apartment was perfect, we immediately felt at home. A few times the upstairs neighbors would walk in heels or make lots of noise that you can hear from the downstairs apartment, but personally, it doesn't get too loud to be a problem. If you're extra sensitive to this, however, I suggest bringing ear plugs! "
3163510,49043110,2015-09-30,26912849,Sarah,"We loved our stay, and such an amazing location! That bed was delightful and the porch swing was so cute. I would definitely stay here again.  "
3163510,50077786,2015-10-09,21183984,Peps,"Mireille was great at sending over all the details about the property (how to get in, etc) and left a lovely bottle of wine and some chocolate for me on arrival. The place was as described, cozy, clean and had everything you could possibly need. It was also ideally situated - 5-7mins walk to Whole Foods as well as other stores and restaurants.
 "
3163510,50524892,2015-10-12,44387440,Dane,"Great little place, quiet area and close to a lot of great places.  A little tight with 4 but enjoyed the stay"
3163510,51934263,2015-10-25,22784806,Alfonso,The house is very well situated near downtown Austin in a quiet neighborhood. All the facilities work and it was clean and well organized.
3163510,52562770,2015-10-30,38966517,Katrijn,"Mireille was a great host, very attentive and responsive. The house was great, exactly what we needed. Perfect location and easy access, the laundry was a huge help too! Couldn't have asked for a better value. Would recommend staying here!"
3163510,52719303,2015-11-01,42930663,Jonathan,Wow! What an amazing house to soak in the Austin life. Mireille made sure we were comfortable and was easy to communicate with. Her house was so close to the city which was perfect for us to enjoy 6th st on Halloween. I would definitely recommend this place to everybody. 
3405447,31674118,2015-05-08,3882902,Shay,This is a very nice house in a very quite neighborhood. Located within walking distance of a nice shopping district but tucked away next to a school park. This home had all the accommodations a person or group of people could ask for. Cindy met us the first night and showed us around the house. This house was exactly what we needed to focus on our training while we were in town. 
3405447,32681457,2015-05-20,20613451,Donnie,"When we arrived for check-in, Cindy's house was exactly as pictured and described on Airbnb.  It is a charming older home and it was very comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 2 children.  There were toys available for the children and a Pack-and-Play plus high chair for our granddaughter. The kitchen is well-stocked and we were able to prepare some meals at home.

The neighborhood is quiet and pretty.  It is very convenient to many restaurants and shopping.

I would stay here again when I am in Austin because Cindy is very helpful and her house is a comfortable ""home away from home."""
3405447,40485502,2015-07-31,521470,Kristina,I booked the Cindy's home in Austin for a group of coworkers traveling in for collaborative work time.  The home was spacious and Cindy was very organized in getting all our lodging info well in advance of the trip.  We had on small setback but Cindy was super responsive and helpful and very pleasant.  I would gladly book with Cindy again in the future.  
3405447,43322474,2015-08-18,28893098,Ruthie,"As soon as my family and I walked in we immediately felt like home! We were 6 adults and a baby and all fit comfortably.
We decided to take a mini family vacation spontaneously and glad we were able to stay at Mrs.Cindy's home. This home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a gourmet breakfast and dinner. The seating area was so comfortable and felt at peace just drinking a cup of coffee and admiring the nature through the huge glass windows. At night we would sit outside in the patio and it felt amazing! Such a relaxing bright happy home! "
3405447,45972391,2015-09-07,24517531,Daniel,"Cindy is a great host. Responsive, caring and knowledgeable. Nice to deal with. The house is in a good shape, location is walkable to eat, drink or see a movie at Alamo. 15 minutes from downtown Austin by car. Very convenient if you come with kids - there is a school across the road with play garden, place to play football etc. Also there is a separate unit with TV and Nintendo games. Beds are comfortable, cables, wifi etc. Nice patio to have a drink and bbq with family or friends. We couldn't be happier to stay for 2 weeks."
3405447,47056887,2015-09-15,39167954,Cindy,"The house is nice & spacious. We loved the mattress in Mstr bdrm, my husband slept better than at home on our new mattress. The house is nicely furnished & decorated, we loved the back patio, the weather was nice so we got to enjoy the patio. The only problem we had was, we could not get the DVD player to work, so we had to use the On Demand to watch our movies. I would also check on the exterminator, we saw 2 big water bugs in the master bath. Thanks again."
3405447,50528422,2015-10-12,35726434,Lisa,The home was just like the pictures with a nice open feel & a wonderful back deck. 
7997122,49826306,2015-10-06,24713046,Michael,"Jo and his two bedroom were just perfect for our Austin ACL trip. We found it spacious, very clean, and well appointed. It was located in a wonderful area Of Austin, offering easy access to all parts of the city. There was even a strip of stores, restaurants and coffee shops very nearby and they were just perfect for mornings. I would absolutely contact Joe again next time I return to Austin Texas."
7997122,52288135,2015-10-27,3901193,Heri,Jo's condo was amazing and the location couldn't be better. It's located in a nice quiet area within walking distance to downtown. It was perfect for a group of four to enjoy our formula 1 weekend. We were greeted upon arrival with snacks and local craft beer in the fridge. The Costa Rican coffee was great too. Communication with Jo was great and we even got to check out a bit later to accommodate for our later flights. I would definitely stay there again! 
8149550,47203968,2015-09-16,16393282,Joseph,"This property is fantastic! And the hosts are even better. 

Brian went over the top with helping me acclimate to the area (I'm a new transplant). And the home itself is the perfect combination of simple, tasteful, cozy, and efficient. The neighborhood is the perfect distance from all the hub-ub of South Congress bar and restaurant scene. You can be there in minutes, but it's on a sleepy little street with easy access to major arteries. 

I'd stay here again in a heartbeat if I didn't move into a long term lease right up the street!"
8149550,50554250,2015-10-12,13562029,Melanie,The listing was just as described. Really enjoyed our stay! Would definitely stay here again.
8149550,51368624,2015-10-19,37447058,Subha,"Brian and Leah's home is beautifully decorated, brand new and looks just like the pictures. It was a pleasure to stay there!"
8149550,52255665,2015-10-27,45285764,Colin,"This place was perfect for four guys in Austin for the weekend. It's small, but you're not looking to spend your Austin experience indoors. The backyard and patio is nice, even with the remnants of Hurricane Patricia pouring down on you there is protection from a little tin roof. The kitchen has all the amenities you could ask for, but again, you're in Austin so go experience that. Great bars and restaurants within walking distance, and easy to get to the airport or downtown. No complaints, great spot and hots."
8149550,52730021,2015-11-01,15333153,Paula,"Brian and Leah were great hosts. The house was exactly as photographed in the ad, comfortable, cozy yet modern and beautifully decorated. It had all of the available necessities needed for an extended stay, even though we didn't use too many. They were very responsive to any needs we had or may have had and checked in during the storm to make sure we were ok. I would recommend and stay again if ever in (website hidden) the location was great, Uber and taxi's were very affordable to all areas of the city. "
8321562,52286407,2015-10-27,11769934,Dave,Great place that's very centrally located. Clean bedroom and bathroom. Small kitchen downstairs with a private bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Good communication throughout. Apple TV us available on a flat screen in the room. There is also a washer and dryer in the closet. Would stay again.
585041,2203843,2012-09-04,1320842,Riley,"I just had my bachelorette party in Austin. And thanks to Lindsay, her family, and her awesome house it was totally amazing. We reached out to Lindsay last minute, after another house had fallen through. She rallied the troops, got the place clean and ready immediately and was SUCH a gracious host! Everything we needed she got us. Really great house in a really great location. "
585041,2470791,2012-10-01,1667697,Marissa,"We had a great stay in Austin with Lindsay.  There were 10 of us so it was a lot of people to accomodate but we were all more than happy with the house, location and little extras that LIndsay left for us.  The house was a great size, very clean and beautiful!"
585041,2530763,2012-10-07,3285968,Jenni,"Wonderful space and awesome host. Great location and good energy in this house! Absolutely would stay again, my family just loved it. Our dad was taking pictures of the different rooms, he felt like he was in a really special place :)"
585041,2678987,2012-10-22,3200410,Dan,"Amazing house, and amazing host. Highly recommend for an Austin get-away! Lindsey also was so nice and helpful. "
585041,2925759,2012-11-20,2946347,Sarah,"10 of us stayed comfortably.  Loved the outdoor space, and off street parking was a plus.  The home was beautifully decorated, we had dining space for all at one table.  We would definitely stay again. "
585041,3112693,2012-12-18,4039811,Caleb,"House was awesome! Slept all 12 of us sooo comfortably and was in an ideal location. We weren't at the house most of the time but when we were, it was perfect. Will definitely try and book this house for our next big group venture to Austin! 5 STARS"
585041,3469211,2013-02-04,4244117,Kory,"I recently stayed at the Travis Heights home near SoCo for my wife's 30th birthday.  This house was chosen because of its proximity (10 minute walk) to the desirable South Congress shops and restaurants.  We certainly were not disappointed.  I can honestly say that our weekend in Austin was one of the best experiences we've had in the continental United States.  If you are down for great food, live music and people watching, this is the place for you.  Not only was the location great, but Lindsay made our experience there easy.  She was flexible with her check-in/check-out times, she was quick to respond to emails and provided wonderful recommendations as far as food and travel.  I can't wait for my next experience in Austin and wouldn't hesitate to stay at Lindsay's home again.

Kory from Madison, WI"
585041,3681728,2013-03-04,3352651,Anna,"We has the best time at Lindsay's house. There were 11 girls staying here for a Bachelorette party, and we had plenty of room! The house was great with really comfortable beds. It is close to South Congress, and very easy to get to comet there. Also, a quick trip from the airport. I would definitely rent this place again!"
585041,3778831,2013-03-14,3164027,Jaclyn,"Lindsay and her husband were fantastic hosts. The house is wonderful and spotless and there was a nice selection of coffee, fruit and breakfast items when we arrived. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is the wifi wasn't up to par (they had a problem with it recently and didn't have it fixed before we arrived), which was a negative especially considering we were all there for work. 
I highly recommend staying here!"
585041,3822258,2013-03-18,5224931,Joseph,"Great house in a great location with great hosts! 

Nestled in quiet neighborhood and nearby to all major attactions, streets and freeways. Our company stayed here during the closing week of SXSW. We needed accommodations near downtown Austin for 8 people and this place filled all of our needs and beyond. The property was very clean, inviting and had all the necessary amenities. 

Lindsay was a great hostess and very helpful. Communication was very easy and she was highly responsive to all my questions.
 
I couldnt be more satisfied. Would definitely stay here again."
585041,3974250,2013-04-01,4194774,Tabitha,"Lindsay and her partner were wonderful to work with. The house is  spacious, beautiful & very clean. We actually had our rehearsal dinner here, and used the beautiful and well-kept backyard for the wedding rehearsal. We agreed in advance to end the party by 10 pm so as to not disturb the people staying in their guest house. The hosts are very respectful, understanding, and helpful. They even let me stay a few hours after check-out time to use the washing machine in the garage on our last day since their next guests wouldn't be arriving until the next day. The location is fabulous & the entire neighborhood is filled with really nice houses & is only a short walk from SoCo & some lovely parks. I would recommend staying here without reservation & hope to be able to stay there again someday. =) "
585041,4071965,2013-04-08,4173434,Allison,This house is amazing!  The host Lindsay was wonderful and we were met right on time for the key delivery. She was also very flexible with check in/out times which was great! The home was well kept and clean and the beds were super comfortable! We will definitely book again!
585041,4332619,2013-04-29,1693899,Kirby,"My bridesmaids, house party, mother and grandmother all stayed here during my wedding weekend and we loved it! There was so much space to keep all of our dresses/shoes/wedding gear and it was a nice place to hang out while getting ready on the wedding day. It's really close to downtown, I-35 and SOCO and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for plenty of space close to everything in Austin. The only negative was that the internet is not totally useable as you had to be in the kitchen to use it and we were only able to get a faint signal. But other than that, perfect place for my wedding weekend!"
585041,4673142,2013-05-20,3185822,Samantha,"Lindsay's house is nothing short of 5 stars! We booked with her for a girl's weekend, and she was a fantastic, easy, and accommodating host. The house may be even better than the pictures look, especially the backyard. So much so that we spent time (and saved money) hanging around the house/yard and cooking meals. It's also really well designed and very comfortable. All 10 of us would absolutely rent/recommend this house and working with Lindsay again. 

Thank you for helping us enjoy a great weekend in Austin! "
585041,7733540,2013-10-01,952377,Joanna,"A very enjoyable stay. House was clean, well appointed and perfect for our needs - a visit to Austin with extended family for a wedding. I would happily stay with Lindsay again. "

585041,8812182,2013-11-19,3663621,Andy,"The house was fantastic, and we had a great stay.  A perfect location for a group to stay in comfort, and ideally located for downtown, and especially the SoCo areas.  We were staying for the F1 and its an easy ride out to the park n ride lots for the shuttle buses to the circuit.

Lindsay was a great host and made everything very easy."

585041,10260586,2014-02-10,9452069,Christina,"The host was amazing and made sure our group (12 total) felt at home as soon as we talked through the door. The kitchen is fantastic- between the quality appliances, two sinks, and large island, it was very easy to cook for our larger group.  The beds were extremely comfortable, but for our group of 12 we just needed an additional air mattress... Not a big deal at all but if you have a group that large you may want to bring one in case!  Location-wise, you're less than a 5 minute drive from South Congress which has great restaurant options and lots of cool and quirky shops and boutiques.  Additionally, it was only a $10-$15 cab ride to Rainey St (which worked out to $3/person for us) - so incredibly cheap.  Overall, the house has great character and was perfect for hosting our event for the weekend. I would definitely recommend staying here!!"
585041,10449681,2014-02-19,11124323,Catharine,"Nice house for family gathering. Big dining area, good kitchen for a large group, comfortable living room,spacious, airy. We had dinner for 12 people comfortably around the dining room table. Fun, hip decor in living areas. Master bedroom was spacious with big comfy bed, other bedrooms less comfortable, but fine. Bathrooms need updating. Plumbing not it best shape. Location was good... walking distance to South Congress. Lindsay was responsive to issue we had in the kitchen. Overall, a pleasant stay, but for the price, we expected that. Also, be aware the price listed does not include 15% hotel tax."

585041,12267649,2014-04-28,8142014,Tina,We stayed at the SOCO house for a week for our wedding.  We hosted family and friends here and had a great time.  The location is fabulous and the house is eclectic and fun.  The beds are SOOOOO comfy. We would definitely stay here again and wish we knew there was a studio AND another two bed apt to rent.  We would have rented the entire compound!
585041,14337842,2014-06-17,3413337,Lillian,The place was amazing! It worked perfectly for hosting a small rehearsal dinner and the space was beautiful. Lindsay was very accommodating and really sweet!
585041,14888140,2014-06-28,4702663,Brian,"Just completed my stay at Lindsay's SoCo home.  Fantastic.  Comfortable, comfortable, comfortable.  Very astutely designed.  They have the nest!!!  This place is fantastic, and I'm going to be coming back.  Thank you, Lindsay.  Such a great attitude."
585041,14979978,2014-06-30,9871385,Brent,Great house! 
585041,18304913,2014-08-25,12394218,Michaeline,"I can't say enough nice things about the host and the house!
Lindsay was super great to work with and very helpful. I was coming in from out of town never having visited Austin before and Lindsay took the time to answer my questions.
Her home is stunning! Very beautifully decorated and everything was spotless! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin who needs more space than a hotel room can offer. It was a great place for friends to gather together!"
585041,22905857,2014-11-17,22588748,Kelsi,"We absolutely loved our stay at Lindsay’s home! I hosted a Bachelorette weekend here and all the girls raved about how neat and eclectic it was. It was very homey, comfortable, and unique. The BEDS WERE SO COMFY!!! It was fully stocked with any and everything you could need/want and was exactly as the pictures show. We also loved the neighborhood and were in awe when seeing all the other homes. I definitely recommend this place and was so sad when our visit came to an end...we didn't want to leave! Unique, comfortable, homey, tons of parking not to mention Lindsay was a WONDERFUL host and very available to answer all questions quickly! Thank you Lindsay!"
585041,24064405,2014-12-18,3016968,Fabian,Lindsay's place was great for our group. Very spacious and in an awesome neighborhood right by the coolest part of South Congress. Unfortunately we ended up having to switch places b/c of the city cutting power for meter repair but Lindsay jumped to action and put us up at another property (which was unreal!!). Great place to stay and looking to come back again in the spring. 
585041,24460480,2014-12-29,18492559,Peggy,"This home wa fabulous for our family Christmas in Austin. Nine of us and two dogs had plenty of room as well as privacy when needed. The home is in a great neighborhood, in excellent condition and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen is loaded with dishes and cookware and we enjoyed using the grill as well. Short drive to South Congress area for shopping and restaurants, many of our group chose to walk as well. The enclosed yard was great for the dogs to play. Lindsay, Ras and Cristina were all very accessible if needed or we had questions.  The place was perfect for us and we will keep it in mind for future visits to see our kids who recently moved to Austin."
585041,24745011,2015-01-02,21019147,James,"I couldn't imagine a better experience in Austin than our new year trip to Lindsay's house on Travis Heights. The house was much larger than we expected and comfortably sleeps a number of guests in five large bedrooms. It's perfectly decorated, clean, maintained, and has a cool retro charm. It served as a perfect home base for exploring Austin."
585041,28157296,2015-03-19,8509151,Alicia,"Lindsay deserves an excellent review. And a massive thanks for the bottle of vodka. 5 stars all around. 
We’d go back in a flash.
"
585041,30377786,2015-04-21,12213307,Anna,Lindsay and Cristina were wonderful to work with. The house was everything pictured and more! We had 12 women in town for a bachelorette and everyone had a comfy bed to sleep in and the 3 full bathrooms were clutch given our numbers. The house is larger than it photographs and is well appointed. We loved hanging out back on the patio as well as on the front porch. Great central location (about a 15 min walk to the main drag on South Congress) and an easy Uber ride to any point in town. We all agreed that we would stay here again in a heart beat! Thanks for a perfect Austin getaway!
585041,31284662,2015-05-04,17258525,Elizabeth,"The house fit all of our needs for my sister's bachelorette party and the hosts extremely helpful when we needed to ship some items to the house. We found that SOCO was an easy walk away to both restaurants and shops! Everyone in our group remarked that the beds in every bedroom were incredible comfortable! I would highly recommend this house, especially for larger groups! "
585041,32516442,2015-05-19,17658694,David,"We stayed at Lindsay's house in Travis Heights for a bachelor party, and we couldn't have made a better choice. The house was a perfect size for 9 people and the location was tremendous for a group trying to maximize our stay in Austin - walking distance from South Congress Avenue, a 5-minute Uber ride downtown, a few more minutes to Zilker Park.

Everything about this house was great. Clean and well maintained, comfortable beds, a huge kitchen and dinning space, a great backyard with a BBQ (which is shared, but we always had it to ourselves). 

Lindsay and the property manager Cristina are very welcoming and clearly care about providing an enjoyable, worry-free stay. The house was stocked with everything we needed, and any questions we had were answered within minutes.

10/10, would stay again."
585041,32963246,2015-05-24,27910553,Vickie,"The house was perfect. Great location, clean and spacious, we had plenty of room for everyone; we had 11 in our party. Loved the décor, perfect for Austin. Pet Friendly!

The only downside was the guest house in the back yard. I did not realize it was there when booking. The guests were not pet friendly and let our dogs out. The leasing agent was wonderful and went above and beyond. She went out looking for the dogs as we were at a UT graduation ceremony. My husband missed our daughters graduation but the dogs made it back home safe and sound. "
585041,33766112,2015-06-01,7527700,Erin,"This house was absolutely perfect for my sister's bachelorette party!  There were 12 of us, so plenty of rooms and bathrooms for all of us. The furnishings were super cute with an eclectic Austin feel, and we really enjoyed the back patio.  We also picked up pizza one night and had so much fun eating around the large dining room table.  Overall a great experience! They even let us drop our bags off early since we all were flying in before check in time.  Highly recommend for a big group! Thanks for the great stay!"
585041,36505753,2015-06-29,27478915,Lauren,Adorable house and great location.  The host was very friendly and super responsive.  Perfect house for our group of girls!  Will definitely rent again- thank you so much! 
585041,37429752,2015-07-06,32504311,Ashish,overall a very nice experience! it is close to most things austin can offer however the house is old with the same feel to it...
585041,40006743,2015-07-27,37998932,Callie,"We had such a wonderful stay this weekend. The house was so full of character and perfect for a large group! Everyone loved it, and that king bed....WOW. Best bed I've ever slept in! There were some minor issues with some of the lights not working, but we didn't bother Lindsay or Cristina with it, otherwise I'm sure it would have been handled. Thank you so much for your communication throughout the whole booking process! Would definitely stay here again. "
585041,40069859,2015-07-27,35908686,Mollie,The host canceled this reservation 51 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
585041,40981009,2015-08-03,84998,Elisa,Lindsey and Cristina were very pleasant to work with and helped make the stay very enjoyable! The home was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed to comfortably enjoy our time! I would recommend her home to anyone visiting Austin! 
585041,42069111,2015-08-10,23827143,Alex,"This location was absolutely perfect. Easy to get everywhere, great backyard, plenty of space to sleep a big group. Host was easy to reach and very easy to work with. Would highly recommend."
585041,43730528,2015-08-21,25750262,Jamie,"Loved this beautiful home in Austin. Great location and so much space. A perfect place to stay with a group, we will definitely stay there again."
585041,44152356,2015-08-24,37998932,Callie,"This is the second time I booked the 5 bedroom So-Co house and it was even better than the first time! It's a perfect house for large groups, and our group of 13 were so impressed with how well it accommodated everyone. We came for a bachelorette weekend, and one of our favorite memories of the weekend was making dinner and sitting around the big dinner table and just talking. Everyone raved about how cute the house was, how comfy the beds were, and how awesome the location was. Snatch this one up if you can! "
585041,45219649,2015-08-31,39728509,Anna,Lindsay was a great host and her home was beautiful and charming!  It was perfect for our group of 10 and we all had more than enough space to spread out.  Beds were so comfortable and location was excellent!  
585041,45447530,2015-09-02,8355301,Eli,"Neighborhood was nice and peaceful. House was large, vintage chic, and clean. Beds were quite comfortable. Host made it so easy to check in and check out. Everything went smooth and we had a great stay! Thank you Lindsay!"
585041,48686251,2015-09-28,24984948,Emily,"Lindsay's home was absolutely perfect this weekend. It fit 10 of our friends very comfortably. We all loved the decor, it was more than enough space and the beds were great! The location was great, close to S. Congress with great shops and food. I could go on and on... I would highly recommend! "
585041,49586958,2015-10-05,18113424,Bailey,Such an amazing house for our visit to Austin! The decor is cute and eclectic and the house was centrally located to all the places we wanted to visit with a short uber ride.  Would definitely recommend for any large groups looking for a place to stay on their visit! 
3848723,19218010,2014-09-08,11344109,Susan,"The neighborhood was great. The location was near downtown, SoCo, and 1st street food trucks. It was easy to get anywhere from here. The apartment was clean and as described. It was quiet and friendly. Thanks for having us!"
3848723,20029508,2014-09-22,20396261,Lisa,"Tristana was great at communicating directions, info about check in and other details.  Her apartment was easy to find and in a great location - in walking distance to both downtown and to the trendy South Austin area with great shops and restaurants.  Her apartment accommodated myself and my three friends well and we felt very much at home.  The only negatives would be that the walls are a bit thin, so it was a little noisy in the evening with people in neighboring apartments and outside.  But overall we were very happy with our stay!"
3848723,21361944,2014-10-15,1599818,Henrique,"Tristana was incredibly nice since I arrived at Austin. She was very helpful with everything. The place is great: Nice light, good space and clean. 

Had pleasant stay and totally recommend (website hidden): as I was there for ACL, the place is walking distance of Zlker."
3848723,22151074,2014-10-31,6732728,Emily,"Tristana was really great at helping us sort our stay, she responded quickly and was really patient with me when I kept making mistakes with the booking!
The flat is a good size and in a great location. As we were only in Austin for two night so we didnt spend a lot of time in the flat, but the beds were comfy and it was clean and spacious. The location was great, its just far enough out of town to not be loud, but you can walk to the night life with ease. Perfect. 
Austin is an amazing city, I would highly recommend anyone travelling in america to check it out."
3848723,22301455,2014-11-03,21375659,Jonathan,"We had a really nice stay at Tristana's place near downtown Austin. It was perfect for our party and allowed us to add a person as needed and we enjoyed the short walk to downtown Austin for nighttime activities. It was very quiet with hardly any notice of other apt. next to us. Tristana is obviously a smart and cultured person as her place is decorated with fun, clean lines, and educational endeavors achieved for reflection. The apt. balcony opens to a greenspace for relaxing, viewing, and contemplation. Tristana was very easy to work with and really was a joy to rent from. I highly recommend this oasis in the city.  "
3848723,22578783,2014-11-10,19918830,Tiffany,"The perfect location for any festival at Auditorium Shores. Tristana made sure we had a parking pass and then we literally walked across the street to the venue. The place was super clean, coffee was prepped, and towels laid out. The master bedroom has a queen size memory foam mattress and hotel quality sheets and down pillows and black-out curtains. The second bedroom is probably most comfortable for one other guest but there's room in the living room for an air mattress if you needed to sleep four. Central air/heat (not a window unit!) and a great view from the back balcony. Book this property early and with confidence. We will definitely be back."
3848723,23147842,2014-11-24,5788924,Quinton,"Nice place and exactly as described. Was a great home base for our Austin stay! The complex was very conveniently located. Try the nearby food trucks, we couldn't get enough! "
3848723,23994446,2014-12-16,7034737,Quyen,"Staying in Tristana's apartment was great - the apartment is clean, well-located, and comfortable. We were able to walk easily to South 1st Street food trucks (~10 minutes) as well as South Congress bars/shops/restaurants (~15-20 minutes with a shortcut through an office park). If you don't mind walking, we also walked to East Austin and it was a nice way to see the river and a bit of the business district. We also were able to get Uber cars quite easily from the apartment complex. There is an inviting looking pool but it was a bit too cold during our visit to check it out.

Tristana's master bed/pillows/sheets are the most comfortable in the world - we were jealous and wanted to bring them home with us! Tristana herself was very helpful as we were able to 'check in' early due to arriving early on flights. "
3848723,24203058,2014-12-22,14056869,Jason,"Tristana's apartment was wonderful and exactly as described. It's a short walk to the riverfront and downtown, great location."
3848723,24549502,2014-12-30,4648956,Heath,"Tristana was very responsive and easy to work with. Her apartment is in a great location—it's a short walk downtown and there's plenty to do south of the river as well. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. All in all, a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin!"
3848723,24837171,2015-01-03,22952651,Sandro,"We had an awesome time at Tristanas place. The flat was great located, you can walk downtown or take the bus around the area. It was clean and comfy, would definitely stay there again. The biggest surprise was the lovely christmas tree in the living room. We loved it! Thank you Tristana!"
3848723,26296214,2015-02-09,13218876,Paul,"Very nice apartment, good location for area of food trucks and Barton springs. Very easy to find and no problems with check in and welcome pack with suggestions for things to do."
3848723,28117267,2015-03-18,23711653,Emily,"My coworker and I stayed at Tristana's apartment for 5 days during SXSW. It was a perfect location - we were able to easily walk downtown while still being out of the fray. The place was comfortable and charming - and Tristana made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. Not to mention that she was easily reachable the entire time, just in case we needed anything else.

I would definitely stay at Tristana's place again and highly recommend it to anyone headed to Austin.

3848723,28385086,2015-03-23,3543686,Ryan,Great experiene from beginning to end and a perfect location for SXSW!

3848723,34645039,2015-06-10,32695762,Michael,"My friends and I were visiting Austin for the weekend to explore and were grateful for Tristana's place! She is very conveniently located (a short walk to Downtown, an even shorter drive) and her place was cozy. It was a bit minimalist for what we're all accustomed to (i.e. no network TV), but we got out so much thanks to the great location that we had no reason to be disappointed."
3848723,38396281,2015-07-15,37286,Brigitte,"The apartment is very convenient to Lady Bird lake, downtown and great restaurants on Barton Springs road. Bike sharing is only a block away!

We didnt spend much time in the apartment, when we did it was ok.  It is very clean and nicely laid out.  Though you can hear everything through the walls. We were woken up by neighbors using the bathroom. The internet was also very spotty. It worked about 30% of the time. Made it a bit difficult to plan the day or to do anything on the web.  We restarted it at least twice a day. We just ended up using our data toward the end.  Also she locked all the closets, which arent usually a problem (security issues, i understand), but didnt leave any hooks or hangers out for us to hang some of dresses and shirts. Had to lay them on chairs on the deck to help unwrinkle things.

Tristana was very thorough with info on Austin. Great recommendations of places to see and do. Parking in the complex was easy and plentiful. She was easy to contact, even though she was in Thailand.

A good bang for your buck apartment. "
3848723,50617714,2015-10-13,12683279,Caren,"Tristana was an excellent host.  The apartment was as pictured- clean, spacious enough for 4 guests (probably 5), and well-equipped. We had no problems with the internet access, as mentioned by other reviewers.  We felt extremely welcome.  Tristana was kind enough to leave us gifts and was immediately responsive to questions via text.  Although we were able to park our car with no problems, we walked everywhere and found the location convenient.  Thanks for making our stay great!"
8522607,48664613,2015-09-27,13435174,Toby,Tony's room is great for a stay in Austin. It's very spacious and in a nice house/neighborhood; lots of great cafes/restaurants nearby. His housemates were very accommodating and quiet (particularly for a Saturday night which is much appreciated). It's very easy to get into downtown Austin from too. I'd highly recommend it and would definitely stay again.
8522607,51777070,2015-10-24,43714518,Sean,"I stayed at Tony's place for 8 nights while apartment hunting in Austin. Tony and his housemates were very friendly and accommodating and made me feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable, and the house is convenient to both UT and the North University, West University, and Hyde Park neighborhoods."
7344751,50675652,2015-10-13,44769448,Jenny,"Perfect place for our corporate stay!  Easily accessible , great amenities, dog-friendly, responsive staff/managers, and right next to Lady Bird Lake!  Couldn't ask for a better place. "
8327772,48937115,2015-09-29,13039034,Margaret,"Steven made me feel extraordinarily welcome in my temporary home of Austin! I would have stayed much longer in this abode if it weren't booked up for the rest of the month due to ACL.

The Wifi was very fast, which I appreciated a lot, and the views of Austin from the roof deck pool and gym were incredible.

Walking distance from Whole Foods, Trader Joes and other awesome places in Austin. 

I highly recommend staying here!"
8327772,49367105,2015-10-03,8670991,Scott,Great place.

8327772,53009715,2015-11-03,47098056,Nick,"This apartment is an absolute Gem!  

Easy access to everything by foot (restaurants, park, transportation), and excellent parking  if you drive in to town.

Impeccably clean,  high ceilings, double doors to outside balcony and open floor plan gives the space a roomy feel, despite the single bedroom size.  Full kitchen open to living room keeps things airy, and over-sized bathtub and high-end fixtures throughout speak regal.

The building sports a fantastic rooftop pool with great views of Zilker Park, seating nooks if you seek privacy and adjoining community room with fireplace, flat screens and card tables discretely placed to give the feel  of ""personal"" living space vs. shared accommodation.

Perfect for business trip or pleasure, comfortably fits a single or couple, and an overall great space to use as your hub while in Austin.  Steven & Andrew were perfect hosts,  always reachable but otherwise respectful my privacy.  I'm thoroughly looking forward to returning often.

2941755,28306403,2015-03-22,5518802,Leanne,"A beautiful house and really helpful and friendly hosts – who went beyond expectations in providing really useful info and help on not just Austin itself, but also Marfa where we headed for a road trip.  
House is as the pictures show and the neighbourhood is very nice, seems safe and fairly close to the action on E6th/ 7th etc. There are some fantastic restaurants/ food places etc that are bike/walking distance (all recommended by Kate).  The yard is perfect for hanging out in and the space inside is cool, clean and spacious, with all the amenities you could possibly want.   Really comfortable beds and nice bathroom.  They kindly included some bikes to use  in the rental price – which is great – as you will need them if planning on heading into town or South Congress.  Otherwise we found using Uber the cheapest transport, plus a little more convenient as was attending SXSW, so in and out of different venues all day (although a lot of people do bike around for Southby and there are a lot of places to lock your bike in town).  I would say to walk into downtown would take approx an hour (depending on how fast you walk and what route you take) and not ideal if during a really hot time of year (or if you are on your feet all day at SXSW..) However, it was close enough if using bikes/ Uber for this.   Great if you want to be a bit out of town and in a cool and less frantic neighbourhood. 
Kate and Rob were always at the end of a phone if needed and  happy to help. Really nice people and place to stay.  "
2941755,50603737,2015-10-12,36763937,Austin,Kate and Rob were probably the nicest host i have came encounter with we gave them a 3 hour notice and they had the house clean and ready for us! The pictures posted are up to date a very beautiful home slept 6 very comfortably and enough space for us all to enjoy!!
350282,996430,2012-03-13,121959,Carlee,"Greg and his wife go SERIOUSLY out of their way for their guests, making our stay as pleasant as it could be. Greg was super prompt to reply to every message I sent his way and was flexible when I needed to check in and check out at odd times. The house is just a little thing next to Greg's larger house right next door and while he was out of town even his neighbors took care of us to make sure we had everything we needed -- even a laundry basket to do my laundry next door! The neighborhood is super safe. I had no problem walking to downtown from the house and when we did take a cab back home it was just $5.

I would have stayed here longer if it wasn't already rented out to someone else! This place was such a relaxing retreat from the SXSW activities downtown, and still close enough to walk over when I wanted to.

Just be careful -- the bed is so comfy you won't want to leave :)"
350282,1023935,2012-03-20,234236,James,"I cant recommend this beautiful cottage and it's hosts highly enough. 
The Property - Cozy cottage with all the amenities that you could ask for, lots of towels, a stocked fridge, comfy bed. The best choc nut brittle hand made by Mary and the Granola YUM! They even had a bike to borrow. 
The Hosts - Personable, caring and delightful. Felt I was staying with family. Very professional, quick to respond to emails, received and held a package for me and followed up to make sure all was fine and well after check in. 
Location - Quiet and safe neighbourhood, 11 block from funky local cafe and shops, 1 block from the best food trucks in Austin CBD less than 10 mins walk to the city. "
350282,1045842,2012-03-26,348279,Yael,"What an amazing little house in aast Austin. It was so peaceful and comfortable  -- wish I could have packed it up and taken it with me :)

Lovely lovely lovely. Greg and his wife were wonderful hosts.  Kitchen was stocked with great coffee, organic milk, cheese, water, even beer.  

Bed is unbelievably comfortable. Even a bike if you want to take a bike ride to downtown.

Serious, I could live in this little house. It's like a little piece of home, but better!

I will certainly stay here again next time I'm in Austin"
350282,1062596,2012-03-30,1994384,Hector,"This house is awesome and cozy!---especially its backyard including patio is GREAT-- big enough for not only the video project, but also, for the small social gathering."
350282,1078964,2012-04-03,1857663,Phil,"This is a great house to stay in for an excellent location to downtown Austin. Greg and Mary were the supreme hosts. I felt like I was staying with family--the kind you'd want to stay with.

The fridge was full of snacks, beer, orange juice, milk and coffee (I don't know if they do this for everyone, it was certainly unexpected). Even chips and salsa. I was wanting for nothing. Plus, very cool Air Conditioning.

If I needed directions, all I had to do was ask, and if I needed to be left alone, I didn't have to ask, they were very respectful of my privacy, too.

The house is adorable and their backyard is heavenly with three very quiet chickens running around.

If you're trying to decide between this place or another one, choose this one, you won't be disappointed. "
350282,1103737,2012-04-09,227702,Meghan,Greg & Mary are amazing hosts! When we arrived the cottage was spotless and the fridge was stocked with delicious and thoughtful items. Everything that we needed was there for us. This place is a gem! Very cute and spacious with a beautiful front and backyard! Close to downtown too and some interesting places on the east side. Highly recommend it!
350282,1135896,2012-04-16,1792865,Bridgette,Perfect one bedroom place with great access to downtown Austin. Greg and Mary were super accommodating and helped us have an amazing weekend.
350282,1176231,2012-04-24,816762,Thom,"Greg and Mary could not have made me feel any more welcome. Their home is set in a very nice  little neighborhood in East Austin, making it ideal for anyone who would like a retreat, but not be disconnected.

Besides a very clean house and one of THE MOST comfortable beds on the planet, there were so many details that they considered, that I truly felt like I was ""home away from home"": food stuffs, bikes and a map, beach towels, local interests google map, etc. 

If, and possibly maybe someday, I were to move to Austin, I'd want Greg and Mary as my neighbors. They are the best!"
350282,1208730,2012-05-01,249229,Melodye,Greg and Mary were so very accommodating during our stay. Their house is most comfortable and they always spared the time to answer any questions we had and even helped us out by allowing us to use their amenities in their own home. The property is located perfectly away from the busy Austin hustle and bustle but still so close that it is only a short leisurely walk. I look forward to staying at their lovely property again and recommend this place for 1-2 people who are in need of a location that is a private and comfortable stay in Austin! Thank you again Greg and Mary
350282,1217098,2012-05-02,1789971,Anne,"Greg and Mary are the most amazing hosts! Greg picked me up from the airport for no extra charge and drove me around the neighborhood so that I could orient myself. The house is clean and roomy with a big backyard and an adorable porch. The neighborhood is great, too, with plenty of good restaurants and bars. I would highly recommend this place to stay for anyone who's looking for a warm hospitable Austin experience!"
350282,1224423,2012-05-03,2252587,Lauren,Greg and Mary were great!  Their house and yard were lovely and come with a friendly cat and a few cheerful chickens!   You won't regret staying here! 
350282,1261592,2012-05-11,1921990,Tobie,"Greg and Mary went out of their way to make my stay here comfortable. Lovely, comfortable accommodation in a relaxing downtown neighbourhood. There are a couple of bikes available and I used one of these to get around Austin. This was my first airbnb stay, I'll be using the service again after such a good experience and hope tasty again here one day for for SXSW music festival!"
350282,1270142,2012-05-13,321333,Steven,"Greg and Mary were extremely hospitable and nice. Their cute little house is perfect for an individual or a couple. It came stocked with snacks, drinks, and everything you would possibly need for an Austin getaway.  Highly recommended!!  "
350282,1335397,2012-05-23,2089865,Jennifer,"We couldn't have asked for a cozier spot to land during our first visit to Austin.  Greg and Mary have a great little house which, as other folks have mentioned, came stocked with all of the necessities - coffee, milk, eggs, beer, and awesome chips and salsa.  

This is clearly  more than a side business to Greg and Mary - they seem to take great personal pleasure in being great hosts.  I was only sad that we didn't get to meet them in person, as they too were travelling. Amazingly, even in their absence, they had though of everything - and had back up hosts, available to answer any questions.  Highly, highly recommended!"
350282,1342955,2012-05-24,933086,Ron,"The place is great, and you can see plenty of descriptions both below and on the official listing page, all of which are true. But what I really appreciated was how on the ball Greg was - responding to questions promptly, giving out his cell phone number and not behaving in the flaky manner that you'll run into with occasional AirBnB hosts. Also, I loved the super-detailed instructions/tips page they leave in the house. It gives me a secret thrill to stay at places where people sweat the details as much as I do in my life and when I'm hosting friends and family. Wish I could have stayed longer. Also, this place it an incredible value. I'm surprised it's so cheap, frankly. "
350282,1351638,2012-05-26,2260563,Simon,"This place is great!  Greg and Mary were very friendly, their place is nice, the courtyard is relaxing, and they even let us do laundry in their home.  6th street is just a short walk and their place is conveniently close to the food trucks at the end of a night out."
350282,1363440,2012-05-28,2167871,Denette,"Greg and Mary were fantastic hosts.  The house is super cute and charming. It is additionally just right if you are looking for something within walking distance to downtown, and awesome food truck areas, as well as 6th street.  
The house was stocked with beverages (water, milk, and beer) and snack for our use, as well as eggs to make breakfast. They were also accomodating with helping us with directions when needed.

We really enjoyed our time and look forward to visiting again!"
350282,1420035,2012-06-05,1138722,SteveandEmma,"Exactly as described.  Fantastic location with all of the major destinations within walking distance or public transport close-by.  Clear instructions, directions and communications.  A true home-from-home.  Greg and Mary really go the extra mile to make you feel welcome! "
350282,1450081,2012-06-10,2363059,Shelly,Great location and great hosts! We really enjoyed our stay. Greg and Mary though of everything. We will definitely. Stay again. 
350282,1485882,2012-06-15,2011754,Julie,"Greg and Mary were great hosts. They were very attentive and quick to respond to any questions. We really enjoyed the property (especially the beautiful backyard area), and the location is ideal. I highly recommend this property. "
350282,1518726,2012-06-19,2549772,Xue,"This place is just as described. If you are one of those people who can get overwhelmed by all the energy and general hustle and bustle of a regular hotel and if the idea of being in other people's private homes weird you out, but you still need a place to stay for more than a night due to work/play, this place is perfect. It is a single house (think Grandma's shack by the lake) with front and back porches. The bedroom is separate from the rest of the house. The backyard is shared with the owner's own home, their chickens and cats, but no one intrudes on your privacy. "
350282,1537162,2012-06-22,2578008,Susan,What a lovely little place; the foliage in front gives it a cozy and private feeling.  Greg and Mary were excellent hosts - so thoughtful that we didn't need to ask for anything.  We hope to stay again in the future!
350282,1568205,2012-06-26,2484130,Margaret,"I had a fabulous visit to Austin last weekend while staying at Greg and Mary's! They were amazing hosts who go out of their way to answer any questions and make you feel at home. They stocked the fridge with goodies, way more than I had expected, that came in very handy throughout the weekend.  The place is very walkable to many bars and restaurants on the East side which were fun to check out. I highly recommend staying here whether you're new to Austin or going back for a visit. Great place for a great price!  Thanks Greg and Mary!"
350282,1581932,2012-06-28,1552563,Diane,"Greg and Mary are stellar hosts and their place exceeded all expectations for comfort, cleanliness, aesthetics, and location. They have obviously put some real thought into making their guests comfortable and we really appreciated their ""extras"" such as refrigerator goodies. They're also lovely folks; they were very accommodating and gave us good tips for food, etc. We had a blast. Thanks guys."
350282,1628742,2012-07-04,2326916,Victoria,Greg and Mary are considerate and generous hosts. They understand every nuance of being away from home and provide as many comforts as possible so that our stay was as pleasant and fun. Greg and Mary were very helpful and accommodating and made our stay in Austin a perfect experience. 
350282,1682705,2012-07-11,29198,Sarah,"I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Greg & Mary's 1-bedroom house. My boyfriend and I stayed for a week and it was an absolute pleasure - from their hospitality, to their convenient location, to the bikes they have on hand, to how cute the house is. Greg went above and beyond on everything - he offered to pick us up from the airport (at no additional charge) and had a laundry list of restaurant recommendations. I lived in Austin previously, so we didn't have a lot of questions for Greg & Mary, but whenever we did, they were happy to be of help. The house is adorable and very clean and they even stocked it with coffee, homemade granola, eggs, milk, and of course, local salsa & chips! I've stayed at several airbnb places over the years, but this was the kind of experience (people + a great place) that you always hope for."
350282,1722799,2012-07-16,1459293,John,"I was in town for 5 days for a friends wedding. Greg and Mary were wonderful hosts. The house was clean, the photos were an accurate representation of the house, and the fridge was stocked with goodies! The street was pretty quiet, even for being relatively close to the bars and restaurants on 6th and 7th streets. We also took the bikes for a ride to the Alamo SOuth Lamar and Barton Springs. Can't beat this location. Everything you hope for in an airbnb experience!"
350282,1764574,2012-07-21,2910073,Matthew,"Greg was wonderful, and so was his place! His property was perfectly located, away from the hustle and bustle, but a very short walk to great food and bars. Greg was incredibly hospitable and made us feel very much at home--he even had a plethora of goodies for us in the fridge and cabinets. If we're ever back in Austin (more like WHEN we're back in Austin) we'll definitely be staying here again. Highly recommended!"
350282,1859524,2012-08-01,1599551,Allison,"Our stay at Greg and Mary's was great, no complaints! They had a great private set up and lots of info for first time visitors. Would highly recommend them to my friends and family!"
350282,1888647,2012-08-04,3119782,Ariana,"I had never used airbnb before but was excited to try it. Greg and Mary's place in Austin was absolutely perfect! The one bedroom cottage was very comfortable and homey and we were greeted by their neighbor since Greg and Mary were out of town. The cottage had everything my mother and I needed for our stay, including a comfortable bed, couch, towels, shampoo/conditioner and even a stocked fridge with some eggs, milk, beer, etc! Our experience couldn't have been better. Their son, Paul, was also around in their house next door and was very sweet, making sure we had what we needed throughout our stay. Would highly recommend it -- I wish we had stayed longer!"
350282,1915641,2012-08-07,2680263,Bobby,"Greg and Mary were great hosts!  Did not see them much during my time there, but got a chance to talk to Mary for a bit.  She was extremely hospitable and just wanted to make sure we had all we needed in the guest house.  Place is in a great location too.  Very nice accommodations.  We even made use of the two 10-speeds that they have available.  Fridge was stocked with fresh milk, eggs, orange juice, and beers.  I would recommend them to anyone looking for a cool place to stay in Austin!"
350282,2011477,2012-08-17,2011754,Julie,Greg and Mary are great! They are very attentive hosts. The property is very comfortable and in an excellent location. I am a repeat guest and definitely plan on staying at Greg and Mary's place again.
350282,2038941,2012-08-20,2641279,Marcia,"Great place to stay.  Greg and Mary were very accommodating before and during our stay.  The house is clean and in a nice quiet location.  My sister and I were able to get everywhere we wanted (bars, restaurants, Barton Springs, Whole Foods, museums, Bats on Capital bridge and more) by foot, bike (loved the bikes provided with the house) or a $10 or less cab fare.  We also enjoyed the stocked fridge and cabinets!  This little place truly has everything you could ever think of wanting or needing (beer, water, juice, milk, coffee, linens. beach towels, shampoo/conditioner, and more).  Would definitely stay here again!"
350282,2057574,2012-08-21,1125663,Rachel,"Greg and Mary were great hosts. Check-in was easy, and because they had to offer us a late check-in, they let us stay as late as we wanted the next day. Their place had a lot of space; it was clean; and we appreciated the food supplies in the fridge that they leave for guests. We'd definitely stay there again!"
350282,2086005,2012-08-24,2544335,Mollie,Great place to stay and walking distance to restaurants. Greg and Mary stocked the kitchen with many creature comforts. Thanks so much because sometimes it is nice to have drinks already provided! We wanted to book again right away but they were already booked! I will be looking for opportunities to return here! Thanks again for your hospitality!
350282,2208118,2012-09-05,3201615,Seila,"I had a great time at Greg and Mary's place. It was a great location, not far from downtown at all, but it was in an actual neighborhood. He was very helpful and responsive when we had questions before and during the stay. The place was great because it provided a great homebase to get around the city of Austin and there were snacks/refreshments provided to add to the homely feel. Everything was nice and clean and the air conditioning felt great during that extremely hot weekend in Austin. Will definitely look into staying here again next time I'm in Austin."
350282,2306641,2012-09-17,3189760,Courtney,"Greg and Mary were absolutely amazing hosts. They were so helpful and accommodating, even shuttling us to and from the airport! The house is great, stocked with snacks, bikes and anything you might need, and in a great location within walking distance of downtown. I would definitely recommend Greg and Mary's guesthouse to others!"
350282,2354899,2012-09-20,3443739,Michelle,"We had a fantastic time in Austin staying at Greg and Mary's place :) The house is so cute, very clean, and well appointed! Being within walking / biking distance of downtown was a plus. We will definitely be repeat guests the next time we are in Austin....highly recommended!!"
350282,2380555,2012-09-23,391980,Gregory,"We had a great time staying at Greg and Mary's guest home. The adorable cottage was clean, stocked with goodies, and very convenient to many restaurants, bars, and attractions. We loved Austin and would love to go back and stay at Greg and Mary's. What a perfect AirBnB experience!"
350282,2419548,2012-09-26,3239750,Jean,"Perfect location for my stay in Austin.  Greg greated me on the street when I was dropped off and he taxied me to the airport when in needed to catch my plane.  The cottage was charming, vey clean and comfortable.  Loved the back yard and hearing the birds in the morning.  The chickens and fresh eggs in the 'fridge added to the charm. Also, great snacks and treats stocked in the cottage, even homemade killer granola! Both Mary and Greg were perfect hosts, not intrusive but helpful when asked.  This is where I will book on my next trip to Austin.  "
350282,2449282,2012-09-29,3626584,Adam,"I needed a place to stay for a night that was close to downtown and this was perfect. It's within walking distance of Stubb's (where I was headed). The place is spacious and very clean. They stocked the fridge and cabinets with drinks (including a variety of Shiner), chips and salsa and candy. There is a really cool, cobblestone back yard with a little patio table. Greg is a very friendly host. I'll definitely come back!"
350282,2468617,2012-10-01,1336149,Atul,"Everything was great.  The pics are 100% accurate.  The place is a beautiful and separate one bedroom stand-alone house.  Greg and Mary were very communicative and polite.  Like all the reviews said - the fridge was stocked with goodies so I did not have to run out to the store for coffee, sugar, soda, milk, etc.  The place was very quiet and equally clean.  It's very conveniently located from the airport and is really close to the downtown (which is great for going out to bars and restaurants).  I used their bike to go into downtown for lunch and the neighborhood is very cute.  There seemed to be a lot of restaurants within a mile.  Greg was actually able to pick me up from the airport - which was a huge bonus (not guaranteed - just pending their schedule).  I did not have a car, but it looked like parking was really easy and safe.  They have a great little front porch and an amazing back porch.  The wifi was extremely helpful and I was able to watch some football on TV.  This was so much more convenient, nice and personable than a hotel and I have stayed in a lot of hotels in Austin.  I was also in a jam for printing and was able to use Greg and Mary's printer.  I can't say enough nice things.  This was my second AirBNB experience and now I am not sure if will ever stay in a hotel in Austin.   I highly recommend this location.  "
350282,2506370,2012-10-04,1827541,Sinclair,"Greg and Mary were wonderful hosts. The 1 bedroom was better then I even hoped for. Clean and tidy and you cant beat the location, truly a great value. Would love to stay here again."
350282,2524179,2012-10-06,676348,Kristen,"This place had everything we were looking for and more. Great location, super cute, ideal layout. Greg and Mary even left snacks and drinks in the fridge. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
350282,2639913,2012-10-17,3213894,Sophia,"Not only was this place cute and comfortable, but Greg was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and then let us be to enjoy Austin. I love the neighborhood the house is in. I love that they included a couple bikes for us to use. The apartment was stocked with all the things we might need as well as some goodies in the fridge that were a welcoming touch! Thanks again Greg, We'll be back!"
350282,2654702,2012-10-19,2995587,Peter,"We had a great, although too short of a stay in Austin.  It was great to have a clean, comfortable place to spend a night as we were passing through.  Much preferable to a hotel.  Greg and Mary were accommodating and left many good suggestions for places to eat and landmarks in the area.  Would definitely stay here again in the future. "
350282,2679117,2012-10-22,3261508,Amanda,"This place is pretty awesome!  Close to downtown, quiet, and cozy.  We were so excited to see some beer and snacks in the fridge and the backyard patio area is super cute.  Our hosts were very accommodating; Greg was able to meet me in the morning, before their last guest had left, so that I could drop of my luggage before my convention.  He even gave me a ride to the convention center!  It was a great trip to Austin and we will absolutely stay here again!!"
350282,2741966,2012-10-28,2007613,Rachel,"My boyfriend and I loved staying at Greg and Mary's place. We didn't run into the hosts face-to-face, but all communications were clear, and the place itself is great. The bed is cozy, the water is hot and strong, the decor is simple but lovely, and Greg and Mary have added lots of little touches to make guests feel welcome (snacks, beer, coffee, etc, plus bikes we could borrow for free). This is also a great location--an easy walk to the downtown area, and there are good restaurants, coffee shops, and food trucks very nearby. Huge recommendation on this place!
"
350282,2769239,2012-10-31,737319,Kellee,"I can't say enough nice things about my experience in Austin. First, Greg & Mary's house was adorable and immaculate. There were plenty of linens, and the fridge was even stocked with goodies :) The location was ideal - in the best part of Austin, in my opinion. A short walk from downtown but quiet enough to get a great night's sleep. There are chickens in the backyard that are adorable and entertaining - I could have watched them all day! Greg & Mary themselves are WONDERFUL hosts - the best of the best. Since Greg was around on the day I was flying out, he graciously offered to take me to the airport. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
350282,2786216,2012-11-02,588426,Dick,"We agree completely will all of the other positive reviews. I'll just add a couple of things we did in Austin I haven't seen mentioned.
We arrived by car, at the end of a a two-week Texas vacation. It was great to be able to securely park off-street, and access was of course easy the one time we needed our car. That was to visit the LBJ Presidential Library & Museum, which was less than a ten minute drive, on the University of Texas campus. There's free parking there; hard to find in Austin. Otherwise, we walked... no more than 15 minutes to the heart of 6th Street; perhaps 20 to the Texas State Capitol, where we enjoyed a guided tour; ten minutes to the famed Franklin Barbecue... or, took the bus for further travel. A 24 hour, unlimited-use pass is just $2.00. 
One other ""attraction"" that hasn't been mentioned we found worthwhile... the Texas State Cemetery is a two minute-walk. We spent over an hour watching a video & then walking the grounds in search of the gravesites of the famous Texans buried there, as well as enjoying the peace, tranquility, and beauty. 
There's one opinion I will parrot. Greg & Mary are terrific hosts, and the house is an unbeatable value. Totally satisfied! "
350282,2824594,2012-11-07,757527,Mary,"What a great little place!  The hosts were very, very nice and helpful and the house couldn't be better.

The location was perfect for my needs - a quick cab ride or walk to anywhere we wanted to go.  I'd definitely stay here again."
350282,2847690,2012-11-09,1255200,Samantha,"It was wonderful to stay at Greg and Mary's while in Austin, TX. I was in contact with Mary who was kind and accommodating over the phone. I was only in town for one-night so we did not have a chance to meet personally, but Mary made me feel welcome to call her or her neighbor for anything I might need! The house is clean, comfortable and well-stocked. The house is in the perfect location, close to everything Austin has to offer. There are bikes you may take out and even a refrigerator filled with water, snacks and beer! I hope to return again soon!"
350282,2856673,2012-11-11,2334098,David,"I had an excellent stay in Austin! The place is convenient walk to restaurants and lounge. It only took 15 minutes to get from the airport here. The place was spacious and clean. They even had snacks and beer to welcome us with.

One of the best places I've stayed at! Thanks again for making my visit to Austin a memorable one. "
350282,2875000,2012-11-13,3543876,Keturah,"This was, in a word, WONDERFUL! My husband and I visited Austin in November for a friend's wedding and the cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs. Greg and Mary were so very accommodating and kind and easily accessible. For instance, I needed an iron, an ironing board, and an iron and the next morning, there were all the things we needed on their back porch, waiting for us. The drinks and snacks were such a nice added bonus treat and the bikes/bike map were so awesome to have at our disposal!  The cottage was adorable and minutes walking distance to restaurants and shops. And I loved the chickens in the back yard!!"
350282,2941760,2012-11-22,2689607,Alexander,"Greg and Mary were great; extremely friendly and helpful. Upon arrival they both gave us a great rundown on what Austin and Texas has to offer. There were beers and snacks in the fridge upon our arrival which added to the homeliness of the place. The house was more than adequate for our needs and this helped us enjoy our stay in Austin. Extremely central to sixth street, about a 5-10 minute walk into the heart of the action but far enough away to escape. Our only regret was not staying longer. Five out of five on all fronts for our stay in Austin. Thanks Greg and Mary"
350282,2990868,2012-11-29,791538,Julie,"The bungalow was very homey and comfortable. Our late check in was accommodated and the snacks waiting for us were welcome and delicious. Greg & Mary's place is truly just a short walk from downtown, yet it is quiet and we felt safe.

Greg and Mary were excellent hosts. They took the time to share their lives in Austin with us and make really good recommendations for dining, sightseeing, and service providers. They will always be an Austin resource for us, and we consider them our friends.

We look forward to staying again!

Julie & Gordon"
350282,3035486,2012-12-06,3747508,Tony,"Greg and Mary's house was perfect for my fiancé and I. The location was excellent; we walked to almost any destination in the city, and if it was just a little too far to walk, there was a bus stop just two blocks away. We also made good use of the bikes they had available. The neighborhood is nice, and we actually preferred some of the features of East Austin over 6th & Congress/Downtown even though it was just on the other side of the highway. The snacks and beers were a nice touch, the back patio was relaxing, and the bed super comfortable. Although we never ran into Greg, we spoke briefly with Mary and she was so sweet. Every contact we had, whether through messages or otherwise, was quick and helpful. This was my first Airbnb experience, but I'm sure it will be the scale on which I measure all future experiences! Thanks so much Greg and Mary!"
350282,3060374,2012-12-11,4015214,Blaine,"Greg and Mary's house is everything they said it was and more than what we expected.  The location was about perfect for us.  The house was neat, clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.  Even the fridge was stocked with refreshments.  We had a lovely time there and would recommend their place to anyone wanting to experience a southern, quiet and comfortable stay."
350282,3388457,2013-01-21,2679862,Jeffrey,"Very convenient location.  We easily walked to East end neighborhood bars, lounges and restaurants.    Greg and Mary were very responsive and attentive…without being invasive and/or pushy.  We were able to make ourselves at home.  This place is very nice.  It is clean and well laid out.   Greg and Mary  stocked the fridge with beverages and snacks, which was very considerate.  

I highly recommend staying here.  
"
350282,3418190,2013-01-26,4728631,Zoe,This is a great little spot in a quiet neighborhood.  It's a very short cab ride or a pleasant walk to downtown.
350282,3422284,2013-01-27,650112,Nicole,"Greg and Mary's place was easy to find and right in a cool neighborhood; walking distance to the bars and restaurants on E 6th St.  Their cottage was cute and cozy with cold beer in the fridge.  The bed was super comfortable.  We loved their outside patio and their urban chickens! I would definitely recommend this place.  Thank you, Greg and Mary!"
350282,3434364,2013-01-28,1015767,Alexander,"Love the house. Very clean and kitch. the neighborhood was splendid and very walkable. The house was like a hidden gem on the street. It was great that the hosts left beer and salsa for the evening and apple juice, milk and granola for cereal in the morning. The space was perfect, not too big and not too small. The owners were very thoughtful with access to a bicycle and a key for the lock. Or for instance bug spray on the porch. It was very affordable and lovely. I hope to stay here again when I am in town. The owners left all sorts of tips and even the wifi password. Oh and the chickens in the backyard was a great touch! - AK"
350282,3502959,2013-02-09,4584014,Tom,"Great place in a really good location. Greg and Mary were very kind and let us borrow the bikes for a ride around Austin. They were always wiling to help if we had any questions. Overall a great airbnb experience.
"
350282,3520701,2013-02-11,4548364,Alison,"This was our first airbnb experience, and we couldn't have asked for anything better...the stay at Greg and Mary's guest cottage was just what we love. Cozy and comfortable, great surroundings, nice area to walk around, fabulous Austin restaurants actually within walking distance...just great! The cottage itself features a really comfortable bed, very clean, great areas for enjoying the outdoors, for example, a stone patio in a beautiful garden, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. We enjoyed the resident kitties hanging around happily outside, as well as the entertaining chickens. Next time we will probably bring some breakfast things with us, as the cozy kitchen is equipped with a small frig, sink, microwave, dishes, oven and cooktop. The hosts kindly leave some basics like bottled water, some craft beer, salsa and chips, apple juice in the frig. It was truly a perfect stay.  Wish we could come back every weekend!"

350282,3569024,2013-02-18,4717604,Molly,"Fantastic little guesthouse!  My boyfriend and I just stayed with Greg and Mary in there quaint guesthouse over the weekend.  Everything was just as promised--very clean and accommodating.  It was a much better experience than staying in a hotel.  We had free wifi, a porch, a refrigerator (stocked with goodies), a stove, bikes, cable tv (not that we had time to watch it), even chickens running around in the back yard.  It was a very memorable experience!  Greg and Mary have thought of every detail to make you feel more ""at home"" and we definitely did.  We will be back!"
350282,3618612,2013-02-26,1439593,Michael,"The guest house was exactly as advertised, clean, affordable and in a great location, convenient to all the fun on the east side.  It's easy to walk to anything on 6th or 11th.

The hosts were even kind enough to drop off an iron and ironing board for me!

I'd totally stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
350282,3698118,2013-03-05,4728370,Debbie,"We had a wonderful trip. The location was perfect and Greg and Mary made us feel most welcome (even though they were off to Eduador, they made sure we had someone to connect with if we needed anything). The treats they left for us were most welcome and made our arrival easy, with lots of provisions until we found our bearings.  We will definitely re-visit if we find ourselves back in Austin one day. "
350282,3721778,2013-03-08,1131921,Amanda,"I had a great visit to Austin and the house was fantastic.  Very tidy and had everything I needed.  Greg and Mary had great communication with me.  I would definitely stay here again and hope that I get the chance to!
"
350282,3771762,2013-03-13,1154956,Rohit,"Greg and Mary are amazing hosts.  Their bungalow was super nice, super clean and the fridge was stocked with drinks and snacks.  There's fast WiFi, a nice living room, lots of light everywhere, and a couple bikes to get around with.  Mary and Greg were also immediate to respond to any requests I had, whether it was to check in early bc of a flight change or provide an iron and ironing board.   Their home is also a 5 minute bike ride from downtown.  I'd recommend their home to anyone, and will certainly try and stay there again the next time I'm in Austin."
350282,3845858,2013-03-20,4149591,Mark,"Greg and Mary set the gold standard of what airbnb rentals should all aspire to be! From welcoming us with some snacks and drinks to providing free bikes to take in the town, we had all we could ever need and more. The self-contained, separate cottage was also very clean and very close to Downtown Austin so we found it very easy to explore much of the town. If we are ever back in Austin, this is the first place that we will look for accommodation. Could not recommend more highly!"
350282,3862886,2013-03-22,3542597,Emily,"Staying at Greg and Mary's adorable cottage was a dream from beginning to end. Greg and Mary were accommodating and beyond helpful to this Austin newbie; providing all the information I could possibly need.

The house was clean, cozy and inviting; perfect when you get into town after a late flight. 

I've done a few other Airbnb trips before and they are at the top of my list! If you're going to Austin, I recommend you stop your search and stay here :)"
350282,3938200,2013-03-29,5124501,Kristen,"We visited Austin for the first time, and we couldn't have asked for a better, more central location to stay. Greg and Mary's comfortable, clean, and spacious cottage was everything we needed for an awesome vacation. We absolutely loved the backyard space where we watched chickens and cats roam freely as we sipped on Shiner Bock beers. We adored the cozy bed that made relaxation instantaneous as well as the cool couch where naps could materialize. Everything was spotless, modern, and really cool, down to the coffee maker and fridge. The snacks and drinks, such as granola, beer, and fruit juice, greeted us after a long journey and quenched our taste buds immediately. Really, this was an ideal place to stay. Plus, we were close to every major destination we visited. There was not a single imperfection to our perfect stay, and I can honestly say that our hosts keep a tip-top cottage that made our experience in Texas spectacular! Thank you!"
350282,4147290,2013-04-14,5209705,Jacqueline,"WE CHOSE TO TO GIVE THE HOME RENTAL A TRY SINCE WE WERE DOING A FAMILY TRIP TO AUSTIN AND ARE NOW THANKFUL WE DID. WE HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT GREG AND MARY'S HOUSE. IT WAS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED, COZY, RELAXING WITH THE ABILITY TO COOK, MAKE A CUP OF COFFEE OR TEA WHEN WE WANTED TO. THE OUTDOOR PATIO WAS A GREAT PLACE TO ENJOY A GLASS OF WINE AND WIND DOWN. THE HOSTS WERE VERY HELPFUL WITH THINGS TO DO IN TOWN OR OUT OF TOWN. COMING INTO A NICELY STOCKED FRIDGE WAS NICE FOR BOTH US AND THE KIDS. OUR TIME AT THE QUAINT LITTLE HOUSE ON INKS WAS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR OUR FAMILY. WOULD DEFINITELY DO IT AGAIN AND RECOMMEND IT TO THOSE WHO WANT A HOME AWAY FROM HOME. "
350282,4179082,2013-04-16,4233685,Cat & Sam,This property is great and the little extras make all the difference.   We really enjoyed our stay.
350282,4225183,2013-04-20,2646505,Emily,"Greg and Mary's place was wonderful. I would highly recommend it. I was traveling for business and much prefer a cute airbnb house to a generic hotel. I thought the price was great for the size and location. 
Space: Super clean, simple, very comfortable bed, amazing porch and yard, and very private. 
Location: Close to downtown, available bikes were a nice touch, and on several major bus routes. Walk-able to most of my favorite east side bars. 
Greg and Mary also left some snacks and breakfast items and Lone Star in the fridge. Much appreciated!"
350282,4246124,2013-04-22,5176222,Leslie,"Could not have been better!  While I didn't meet Greg and Mary, they were in contact before and during my trip and did so much to make sure that our stay was enjoyable.  The house itself is adorable and beautiful.  It's in an excellent location that's easily walkable to downtown.  The hosts were extremely thoughtful and left welcome snacks and drinks.  In all, I was really impressed with this place and would love to stay there again in the future."
350282,4287606,2013-04-24,5955758,John,"Greg was absolutely great, and this would be my first choice for accommodation when next in Austin.

The cottage was convenient, comfortable and very clean. A fantastic location, close to downtown and the fantastic bars and restaurants in East Austin. Parking, bikes to use, snacks and even a porch, absolutely great."
350282,4297922,2013-04-25,3621020,Dustin,"Excellent place, great location and super friendly hosts -- definitely planning to stay here again!"
350282,4313735,2013-04-27,5421255,Lisa,"Greg and Mary are the quintessential definition of 'Southern Hospitality"". To say that they went above and beyond to ensure that our first trip to Austin was as pleasant and easy as could be would be a severe understatement. We will never forget the incredible generosity that Greg and Mary showed us during our stay. The guesthouse has everything you need: comfy bed, small stovetop and even some local Austin brews already chilled in the fridge!  It's in a wonderful location within walking distance to downtown on either side of 6th street. If you're looking to stay in Austin be sure to reserve your spot here. Trust me, you will not regret it!
Thanks Greg & Mary !!"
350282,4357726,2013-04-30,4900145,Erica,"We loved staying in the Shattuck's house, it was the perfect amount of space for two people and was comfortable and clean. The location could not be better - close to all the restaurants and bars on east 6th without being in the middle of it and easy access to downtown and South Congress. We used car2go instead of renting a car and it worked out great, we always found cars close by. Quick walk to Vintage Heart Coffee around the corner every morning was great, too! Highly recommended."
350282,4431856,2013-05-05,3206390,Lauren,This is a perfect spot from which to explore Austin in comfort. Greg and Mary can be as hands-on or hands-off as you choose. We didn't actually end up meeting them but they managed to make our stay after a long day's drive completely welcoming and stress-free. We will definitely stay here on our next visit.
350282,4518010,2013-05-10,4721291,Daniel,Greg's house was an amazing experience. The house has everything you need for a pleasant experience in Austin and Greg and his family were extraordinary hosts. Greg volunteered to take me to the airport and he was kind and helpful all the time. When I come back to Austin I will stay there again without doubt. Thanks Greg!
350282,4653707,2013-05-18,466009,Jen,"This little house is great. Exactly as advertised and photographed. Clean. Greg and Mary made it very easy to get in and out — no hassle with the keys. The fridge was better than I expected, totally usable for groceries and real cooking. 

I had two frustrations. One, the neighbors were quite loud, hanging out on their porch until 1am, talking about the high drama of their lives, playing music. The walls of this house are very thin (like many in east Austin), so I couldn't sleep until the neighbors decided to go inside. I don't know if that happens much, maybe hardly ever, but it was really annoying the night it happened.

Two, the internet is really slow. For most people it'd be totally fine. You can use it to check email and send text, no problem. I was traveling for work and needed to do heavier-duty serious network use, and under 1mb/sec down was painful. I didn't stay in a hotel, in part because I needed real internet access, yet the connection at this house (at least in May 2013) was much too slow to get work done fluidly. This could easily be fixed by an upgrade to the plan, (super-fast speeds are available from their provider), so maybe they'll upgrade and it'll be faster in the future.

Otherwise I highly recommend the place. It's great to stay in a real neighborhood and see how Austinites live. While I didn't use the bikes, having them provided is very cool. I rented a Zipcar and had no trouble parking right in front. Greg told me about car2go, which sounded even better — rent a car for just the time you drive it, leave it parked in front of their house and someone else will take it away."
350282,4704580,2013-05-21,5581006,Brandon,"The house was perfect, just as Greg and Mary described the home as a great base to explore Austin we found that was completely right. We were extremely close to downtown, local parks, and could walk to sixth street in less than 10 minutes. The house had all the amenities we needed and then some. Greg was a gracious host and gave us information about the city and really made us feel welcomed in their super cool home. Will definitely stay with them again, and look forward it."
350282,4748079,2013-05-23,5508751,Raphael,Amazing house! Amazing Hosts! Great Times!
350282,4875217,2013-05-30,3604914,Ryan,"Charming property, amazing location. Will definitely return!"
350282,4989848,2013-06-05,270599,Ryan,"I had a great stay, Greg and Mary were great.  The communication was great and everything was planned out, so the whole experience went flawless."
350282,5001548,2013-06-06,6642759,Marie,Very cute and quaint little house.. Clean and comfy.  I just wish I had time for a bike ride
350282,5181649,2013-06-17,6176250,Gregg,"outstanding accommodations and great location. very very clean.  far exceeded our expectations.  stayed in many B & B's before, but first time with Airbnb.  an overall wonderful experience."
350282,5273801,2013-06-22,5867421,Jerad,"Greg and Mary were fantastic hosts! The place was spotless, very comfortable and they even left some tasty snacks for us. The location is great and everything is just a walk away. Next time I come to Austin, I will definitely try to book this place again."
350282,5315387,2013-06-24,3053221,Kerry,"My husband and I stayed in Greg and Mary's place for 2 nights and it was an excellent experience. The house is adorable, cozy and extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable, air conditioner worked great and Greg and Mary were very nice and easy to communicate with. The location is good and felt safe with lots of restaurants and bars close by. The house has a little front porch and a really nice back yard area that we enjoyed. Greg and Mary thought of every little detail to make sure our stay was nice - drinks in the fridge, lots of clean towels, clean and soft bedding. A million times better than staying in a hotel. Would definitely stay there again."
350282,5463572,2013-07-01,2207529,Ashley,"This was my first experience as being a guest on Airbnb and I picked the best place to start! At first, I was a little worried that it was 450 sq ft, which sounded small, but it was a very roomy place! We stayed in the hottest days in Austin (106 degrees) and we were delighted they keep the a/c on when you arrive. Not to mention some great cold drinks in the fridge. I loved that it was close to downtown but tucked away at the same time. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in Austin. Thanks again guys! "
350282,5602922,2013-07-08,6254487,Rob,"Greg and Mary were some of the most gracious hosts I've ever had in my travels. They were more than accomodating to my sister and me: they offered to drive us to and from the airport, let us use their spare bike lock, and kept us stocked with delicious beers and snacks. I could not possibly recommend staying with them strongly enough!"
350282,5790678,2013-07-16,6969519,Laura,"My boyfriend and I had a great experience with Greg and Mary!  The location was great, we used the bikes and rode around downtown all morning.  The house was very clean and welcoming.  There was plenty of space for the two of us.  I'd definitely stay here again!"
350282,6107220,2013-07-30,2432578,Margarita,"Terrific Hosts! Amazing perfect little house! Everything was well thought out & organized. I couldn't believe how much storage/organizational space we had for toiletries, make up, accessories, clothes, etc etc.....(yes I tend to over pack). The added bonus was all the snacks in the fridge, beer, wine, coffee, tea, water - even topo chico and juices - never had to run to the store for anything. I loved the chickens roaming around and the visits from Bob the cat. The only drawback was that the neighbors across the street decided to have a bass bumping party - which was shut down by mother nature - an awesome lightning and thunderstorm. I was worried the parties were gonna be a nightly occurrence being that it was the beginning of the weekend  - but it it never happened again, must have been a special occasion. Anyway this was truly a delightful stay and will def be my go-to for future visits.

Thanks again for everything Greg & Mary!"
350282,6206153,2013-08-03,2646505,Emily,"Once again had a great stay at Greg and Mary's place. I travel here for work and it's always so nice to come home to this comfy, quiet home. The location is incredible and the homemade granola is very yummy :)"
350282,6252846,2013-08-05,3424990,Tim,"I have no idea where to start...

This was the best experience ever! Me and my friend couldn't stop talking about how nice the house was and how friendly Greg and Mary were. Their place is better than ANY hotel I have ever been to. The extra services they provide are extraordinary but so great. I can't believe we arrived at a fully stocked fridge!

The place is clean and really a quiet retreat in a very nice neighborhood. I'd loved the fact that we could walk anywhere and if it wasn't walk able, Greg and Mary provided us with 2 well-maintained bikes!

I think I found my fixed spot for whenever I'm coming back to Austin and trust me... I'll be back! and that's partially thanks to Greg And Mary"
350282,6797918,2013-08-25,2768127,Reese,"Greg and Mary were great hosts and the house was awesome! It looked exactly the same as the pictures! It was a perfect place for my girlfriend and I and very close to downtown, and a very short drive to anywhere else we might have needed to get to. Also, asked for suggestions on places to eat, and Greg went far beyond my question and gave me a huge list as well as websites to all the places. They were very hospitable and very helpful. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin"
350282,6834256,2013-08-26,4548364,Alison,"Greg and Mary's guest house is a complete delight....clean, convenient, well supplied! It was our 2nd stay there and we just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.we enjoyed the pleasant outdoor space, proximity to downtown and restaurants, and the walkability of the area. Thoroughly recommend and would love to go back!"
350282,6976082,2013-09-01,7643822,Josh,"It's a cool little house with a nice personality. My friends who stopped by were all taken with it.  It was clean, neat and well-stocked, right down to Mexican Coca-Cola in the fridge (no corn syrup!).  There's a great coffee shop around the corner and lots of eating options in walking distance.  Greg even sent me a text on my last day to offer later check out because their next guest was delayed.  That was a thoughtful bonus and it worked out perfectly for me because the people I was meeting up with were running late."
350282,7020153,2013-09-03,7989080,Leslie,"This was our first time using airbnb and it couldn't have been any more perfect! Greg and Mary were so kind and the house was awesome. We loved the area also, since it was so close to everything. As long as they'll have us, we plan on staying at Greg and Mary's place every time we're in Austin!"
350282,7455984,2013-09-21,3746770,Shawn,Greg is a fantastic host! He picked me up and took me back to the airport. What a great convenience. This little home is very roomy and clean with a great patio area for relaxation. They even left snacks and drinks in the fridge as well as coffee. It's a quick easy 15 min. walk to the convention center or a $5 cab ride. I would definitely stay here again.  
350282,7511217,2013-09-23,7913335,Dana,"This was our first airbnb experience and we are SOLD! :) Thanks you to Greg and Mary, we had the best experience, -we loved the little cottage and the location. Everything was absolutely perfect - from the location (walkable to the great restaurants like Blue Dahlia yum!) to the provisions Greg and Mary stocked for us -  from drinks in the fridge, chips and salsa , an umbrella to use since it was raining and well placed bug spray on the porch! We were blown away by the hospitality and will never again stay in a hotel in Austin ...or any city if we can find hosts as wonderful as Greg and Mary. They answered all of our questions before we got there and were available when we were there, Mary even offered me her hat to wear to the UT game! :) 
Thank you to Mary and Greg, we hope we can come back soon!!"
350282,7678753,2013-09-29,8797582,David,"Greg and Mary have put together a great little home in one of my favorite areas of Austin—within walking distance of the best stuff the East Side has to offer (and that's a pretty prodigious list.)

Everything was set up perfectly and well-explained. Quiet street, comfortable bed, beautiful yard (with astonishing local wildlife). So many little touches they've clearly thought through in terms of taking care of guests: good fast WiFi, bikes and helmets, a well-curated (and complimentary) fridge—all very much appreciated.

I know where I'm staying next time I'm in Austin."
350282,7998015,2013-10-12,5465444,Annie,"Greg and Mary's place was great! We had a great stay in Austin, the location of the house was amazing. The snacks provided were a huge plus and greatly appreciated. We would definitely stay here again if and when were back in Austin. "
350282,8036414,2013-10-13,2166065,Peter,Greg and Mary were extremely kind and hospitable.   Great people.  The place is a perfect option for any visit to Austin.  I will be back!
350282,8081904,2013-10-15,8176266,S,The house was perfect and the location excellent. Being in Austin for an historic rain event just added to the fun. And we were able to use the bikes on Saturday before the skies opened up. It was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into making our stay comfortable. Thank you for your hospitality. 
350282,8323127,2013-10-25,8531774,Justin,"Fantastic little house in a prime location! Greg & Mary do a great job with the details - everything from a suitcase stand to beer, juice & snacks to extra soap & towels. Also, having access to 2 bikes w/ helmets and a lock is amazing. Everything was very clean, too. Would definitely stay here again. "
350282,8523278,2013-11-04,5969751,Tanya,"The house is beyond perfect in terms of location, size, cleanliness.  We had a couple of beers (which Greg and Mary provided from the fridge) in the back garden next to the fountain! Wonderful Austin experience, don't look anywhere else for a place to stay!"
350282,8687521,2013-11-12,8009954,Matt,Greg and Mary's place was perfect! Very nice and well-kept guest house (and patio!) and a wonderful location. Will definitely stay here again if I end up back in Austin.
350282,8758291,2013-11-16,9816260,Jay,We loved this little place. Back patio is so secluded. Very Austin!
350282,8909994,2013-11-25,3084498,Chelsea,"Staying here was a wonderful experience. Greg gave us great advice on things to do in Austin and even took us to the airport! The home sits in a wonderful neighborhood where I always felt safe and it was also quiet. The use of the bikes is amazingly convenient. When we first arrived my boyfriend was starving, so he was pretty happy that they have snacks on hand!"
350282,18391942,2014-08-25,9818877,Julia,"I absolutely loved this place! The house was cute, clean and the stocked fridge and pantry were awesome. The back porch was our favorite spot to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee and the beautiful trees and fountains. The house was just as described on Air BnB- small but definitely functional with bikes to use. There was more than enough amenities including extra blankets, towels, toiletries, drinks and snacks, microwave, stove, oven, dishes and coffee maker. Greg responded to my emails very quickly and was so friendly and relaxed. This place could not have been more perfect for 2 people to stay. We enjoyed it very much!"
350282,18688878,2014-08-30,10974688,Nate,"Great stay in Austin.  Everything was as communicated and shown in the pictures.  Awesome location, clean, etc.  The hosts even put food/drinks for us to have during our stay.  Very satisfied!"
350282,19239732,2014-09-08,16546379,David & Alison,"This place is delightful! Exactly as described, it's clean, comfortable and close to everything, with a very relaxed Austin vibe. But more than that Greg and Mary were superlative hosts. The kitchen is stocked with beer and snacks, there are bikes available to cruise downtown and Greg and Mary were amazingly helpful - including with our laundry. There is a great area to sit and relax outside. Would definitely recommend this place and happily stay here again next time we are in Austin."
350282,19396920,2014-09-11,21052438,Andrew,Perfect Thanks so much
350282,19490521,2014-09-13,20832076,Jason,"Great stay here, Greg and Mary are very good hosts, and the snacks and drinks were definitely appreciated after long travel days. Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin."
350282,19537727,2014-09-14,13788825,Alison,"This cozy East Austin home was a perfect retreat for our ""Date Night"" escape.  The location of this home is perfect for those visiting Austin for COTA events as it offers a simple, pretty direct route to your event while keeping you very central.  Unfortunately (or fortunately because we're in a drought) I can't contribute to the walking features of this home because it rained  up until the time we had to leave for our concert at COTA.  What I can say is that this comfy home was so relaxing we decided to forego hitting the bars and chose to get healthy snacks from the local grocery and a six pack of craft beer and just CHILL!  Sadly this was a very short visit but we do plan on returning and taking advantage of what this wonderful location has to offer.   Between being privately nestled among the trees and the soothing sounds from the two water fountains, you will be left with no choice but to ewe and awe as you explore this little cottage.  Great value and location. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and have a knack for providing things others don't offer such as Shiner, wonderful pillows, snacks, and mountain bikes."
350282,19701210,2014-09-16,20851950,Sean,"First Air BnB stay and it was a wonderful experience. The house itself was very comfortable in a very nice part of town - easy walking access into the centre of Austin and to Raney street although there were some very nice bars and restaurants nearby. We were very well looked after, with the accomodation seperate from the main house. However our hosts went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay, fairly sure the most expensive hotel in town could not have matched their hospitality.

Should we return to Austin I would definately try to stay their again and would advise anyone else visiting to do the same. "
350282,19831965,2014-09-19,19984400,Jennifer,"From the moment I arrived, until the moment I left--Greg was the consummate host. He made sure I knew where everything was, and to let them know if I needed anything. He was very communicative, and kind. The cottage was ADORABLE, clean, and close to everything I needed to do. The little southwestern courtyard with the fountain---so serene. I only wish the weather was better so I could have fully taken advantage. This was my first airbnb experience, so I was a little nervous. If I come back next year--I will be booking this cottage again. "
350282,20077661,2014-09-22,21049243,Dylan,Greg and Mary are great hosts with a great place to stay! Area was really hip and the people in the area we're sincere!
350282,20202626,2014-09-25,8263247,Mark,"Greg and Mary were excellent. I spent two days at the Inks Avenue Guesthouse getting local recommendations from then via texts on an as requested basis. Then this AM, when I was arriving back from an outstanding run all over downtown (which is about 1/3 mile away) I met them as they were driving off for the day. Great folks."
350282,20824310,2014-10-06,4914539,Amber,"Greg & Mary's cozy dig was really perfect for us!  ...As I told them when I wrote, initially, ""you had me at snacks!"", & really it was so much more.  Everything was so well thought out...from all the quaint little touches such as all of the amenities included (shampoo, hairdryer, soap, silverware, iron, hangers, lotion, bug spray, etc., etc...).  Even when we had a bike tire jam, Greg was able to switch the bike out within just a few hours!

And I'm pretty much addicted to the organic milk left for us...so tasty!

It also felt really spacious and modern & didn't feel small at all.  And I'm pretty sure my friend was about to abduct the dog because she was so friendly and cute....running out to meet us everyday.  The location too....we had no trouble walking to and from downtown & even from Zilker park.

ACL may have satisfied our days, but Greg & Mary's cozy cottage punctuated all the rest to perfection!

thx guys, we'll be back soon....!  :)"
350282,20995567,2014-10-09,19403819,Laura,It was an excellent location for working in Austin.  The space was exactly as shown and a wonderful location for walking to eat or Yoga.  The kitchen was a plus.
350282,21203327,2014-10-13,6404708,(email hidden),The location was perfect!  A quick walk to east 6th street and a beautiful bike ride to Zikler Park!  This place was perfect! 
350282,21875450,2014-10-26,20453848,Luise,"Greg and Mary were wonderful hosts!  Prior to our arrival in Austin, Greg provided an extremely thorough list of music recommendations based on our music preferences that we had listed out.  

The house is a quick cab ride from the air port and is on an adorable and quiet street and the snacks that Greg and Mary provided were just perfect (especially the salsa!!)The two bikes they provided were such an added bonus!  We used them for an entire day to explore the city (capitol area, UT campus, Barton Springs pool etc).  The house is within distance to quite a bit (6th st food trucks (would definitely recommend Pueblo Viejo and East Side (email hidden)) and bars, Franklin's BBQ, John Mueller Meat Co, Blue Dahlia) .  We did not have a car so we took Uber cabs to Rainey St, South Congress and restaurants on Lamar (would definitely recommend Barley Swine for a unique dining experience and Broken Spoke for an original Honkey Tonk).

350282,21964766,2014-10-27,7336481,Jenni,"I did not want to leave Inks Guesthouse. Great location, just enough outside the downtown bustle to feel close yet in another, wonderful world. The listing is more than accurate -- in fact it features surprises like a gorgeous patio, a friendly pup, and a welcoming energy that made me feel like I'd been there before. I never got the chance to talk to Mary, but Greg was beyond helpful and full of tips and history about Austin upon request. I honestly can't wait to come back. This is not only the best airbnb I've visited, it's one of the best places I've visited in general. Loved it. HIGHLY recommended."
350282,22422551,2014-11-05,23345120,Faith,"We had a wonderful experience staying at Greg and Mary's guest house. The space is the perfect size, very comfortable and cute, as well as private. They provided all the basic amenities and then some, including complimentary beer and snacks. Very responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. We will definitely recommend their place to anyone coming to Austin and would have loved to stay a second night if it had been in our budget. Oh yeah - also close to tons of stuff to do! Best pick in Austin."
350282,22481886,2014-11-07,9336227,Jesse,"Place was great! Clean,quiet and close to a lot of great bars and restaurants.  I had a great time and would definitely stay there again."
350282,22579794,2014-11-10,4510196,Matthew,"Absolutely great in every way, thanks! "
350282,22807681,2014-11-15,9080600,Ryann,"Greg and Mary were wonderful hosts.  Their place was clean, comfortable and extremely well located for exploring Austin.  They made us feel so welcome and provided great recommendations for food and entertainment.  I only wish the weather was better so we could have taken advantage of the bikes they provided!  We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin. "
350282,23025097,2014-11-20,4327190,Stacey,Greg was fantastic! Awesome space. Amazing location. Wonderful backyard and cutest puppy in the world. Would not have changed a thing! 
350282,23082134,2014-11-22,14286112,Thomas,"The best part of this this cute little house was Greg, Mary, and their niece Katie. They went above and beyond, before and during, to make our stay amazing. The house is a great location. We didn't spend much time there, but it had everything we needed. Having the snacks and drinks were also really nice."
350282,23174273,2014-11-24,11333801,Paul,"Very cozy place.  Perfect for what we needed.  The back patio area was great for socializing.  It rained (what??) on Saturday night, so we were cooped up inside on the couch, which was unfortunate.
Location is great.  Loved how we could walk to so many restaurants.
And yes, the dog is adorable and very friendly :-)
"
350282,23255711,2014-11-26,23831005,Caitlin,"Fantastic location and amazing hosts! Greg and Mary went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The complimentary snacks and beverages were much appreciated. Wish we'd had time to take advantage of the bikes they provided - next time! Our hosts were very quick to respond any time we had a question regarding the house or the neighborhood. Speaking of, the house is in the perfect location for exploring east Austin, as well as providing easy access to other areas of the city. Can't wait to go back! "
350282,23449370,2014-12-01,23089947,Vincent,"The directions were quite easy for getting checked in and out.  Greg and Mary were very flexible, and the house was very clean and homey.   My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.  The house is very close to some cool shops on the East side.  It is only a hop into downtown.  I would highly recommend this property."
350282,23578549,2014-12-05,13123305,Erika,"We made the right choice with this rental! It was exactly as described and it lived up to its rave reviews! The neighborhood was exactly what I expected and desired from Austin - cute homes, delicious independent restaurants (we had dinner at Licha's, yum!) bars with live music (we heard some gems at Historic Scoot Inn) and even found a cute convenience store/bar (Quickie Pickie), all within several blocks walk. We felt safe at all times, which was important to my husband and I. When we arrived, we had a complementary beer (the fridge was stocked) in the gorgeous and calming courtyard (complete with a fountain and a cute, frisky pup named Stella). The owner, Greg, came out and introduced himself with warm pecan pralines in hand (score!).  When we asked, he had recommendations for local establishments. Other tidbits: the bed was super comfortable, the place was perfectly clean and cozy, we had off-street parking for our rental car, covered front porch to sit under when it started raining (very peaceful), and tons of lush vegetation. We can't say enough about how impressed we were. We will definitely stay here if and when we go back to Austin. "
350282,23640133,2014-12-07,17721820,Jay,"Greg's house was perfect and in a great location. It's very spacious for 2 people and it has a huge backyard with a fire pit.  Greg was an extremely accommodating host and provided us with so much advice about things to do in Austin.  He also provided us with lots of snacks,  beer, and two bikes. He really helped make our experience in austin perfect"
350282,23799692,2014-12-10,19027907,David,"Why would you stay anywhere else in Austin-completely self-contained unit, quiet, good parking- easy walk to Shops/restaurants/food vans ++, or cycle into town-provided.
Greg/Mary available, incredibly helpful if asked, but also leave you to your own devices."
350282,23890225,2014-12-14,3490987,Michele,"My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at Greg and Mary's guesthouse. It's a perfect comfortable size for 2, and the snacks and beer were so appreciated! The location is great as well, walking distance to fun bars on E 6th (our personal favorites are The Liberty and The Grackle) and good Mexican at Takoba and burgers at Silo on 7th. Easy access to downtown and beyond as well. Would definitely recommend staying here and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thanks!"
350282,24675447,2015-01-01,33702,James,"This clean apartment is in an excellent location on a quiet street. It was more than spacious enough for the two of us, had strong wifi and the frig was stocked.  Basically, everything was as described, except for the bed which was undersold. I've traveled a bit and it was probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. The hosts were very accommodating and I would love to stay here again upon my eventual return to the energetic city of Austin."
350282,24979357,2015-01-04,19070901,David,"Greg and Mary immediately responded to our messages and offered assistance should we need it. They left a detailed description of the neighborhood, the home and the home's amenities as well as suggestions for things to do in Austin. Best of all, they had a stocked cupboard, free WiFi and two bikes (with helmets) for exploring Austin. The place was clean and comfortable."
350282,25145728,2015-01-07,24409950,Miguel,Exceptional option for an Austin visit with very welcoming and accommodating hosts. Greg and Mary had a stocked fridge and plenty of suggestions to enjoy our first visit.
350282,25212560,2015-01-09,22954240,Alison,"This little house suited us well. It was equipped with everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable and it was well located. It was really nice to be left with food and drinks for breakfast and snacks. It was cold in Austin when we were there, but stayed snug in the house."
350282,25288010,2015-01-11,20901981,Joey,"Greg and Mary were outstanding hosts!  The place is exactly as pictured, but with little hidden gems that you don't notice until you arrive.  We loved the location, we were able to walk to most of our destinations, and even though we were right in the middle of a lively neighborhood,  we had a quiet and peaceful stay.  We visit Austin often, and have found a our go-to place to stay."
350282,25751568,2015-01-25,839539,Jacqueline,Greg & Mary have a wonderful space in an awesome location. The fridge and cupboard were stocked. We would love to go back and stay again!
350282,25892091,2015-01-28,8658530,Bronwyn,"Greg and Mary were great hosts. They responded quickly to any queries, and were open and available to us should we have needed help while in Austin. The place was exactly as pictured - clean and neat. The location was also excellent - within walking distance of the food trucks, bars, coffee-shop in East Austin, as well as walking distance to downtown We were surprised to find that the fridge was stocked with goodies - including beer and Mexican coke! I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a chilled-out Austin experience."
350282,25978643,2015-01-31,15498914,September,"This was a great cozy place to stay in order to enjoy east 6th.  My friend and I are both locals and knew exactly where we wanted to be in order to be able to walk home safely and have a good sleep after celebrating a girls night out.  We felt very safe in this area and the house met all of our needs and more.  There were tons of drinks and snacks and enough seating so that we both could lounge in our PJ's after getting home.  It is definitely an urban area, so you will hear street noise (and possibly church bells!) but it is SO close to where you want to be.  We were able to hit east side kings, Rio Rita, LaV, and several bars at night, then have coffee at Vintage Heart in the morning. 
"
350282,26112133,2015-02-03,22450347,Megan,"We felt so welcome!  Greg and Mary had the fridg stocked for us...whole milk for my toddler, chocolate for mom, cereal, coffee, beer. So thoughtful!  What an awesome location as well.  Walking distance to restaurants, and coffee shop.  Really comfortable accommodations.  Thank you so much!"
350282,26174347,2015-02-05,2497088,Stephen,Awesome.  Everything you need.  Nice character.  Beautiful patios and porch.  Great area.  My new go-to spot.  
350282,26359173,2015-02-10,16336462,Laura,"Greg and Mary's guest house was the perfect spot for my stay in Austin.  Loved being on the Eastside of town and close to downtown.  Great restaurants, food carts and coffee within walking distance.  The house is thoughtfully put together and very comfortable and clean.  They both made themselves available and responded quickly to any question or request both before and during my stay.  It is perfect for one person or a couple. Really appreciated the jug of bottled water (and the snacks).  Would have loved to spend more time outside and used their bikes as well!"
350282,26589786,2015-02-16,21663593,Dawn,"This was our first AirBnB stay anywhere and we are honestly having a hard time imagining any other place being more perfect than this one. Either that, or this place has COMPLETELY raised our expectations on other AirBnB places. This sweet little cottage is perfectly charming, impeccably clean and situated in a little shaded haven surrounded by a lovely, tranquil patio. The bed was so comfortable that we are seriously looking into replacing our mattress at home with the same mattress here. Our hosts were gracious, respecting our privacy, but also thoughtfully and unobtrusively checking in with us to make sure we were comfortable and our needs were being me. You can BE SURE THIS is where we plan to stay whenever we're in Austin."
350282,26840439,2015-02-20,11526313,Rebecca,"Really enjoyed my stay! Greg and Mary were excellent communicators before the trip, always responding quickly to questions. Their home is the perfect setup for relaxing and close access to downtown Austin. I didn't have a car and easily walked everywhere. They provided everything you could imagine needing and then some - great bath products, drinks, snacks - to add to the ambiance of the place. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer! I will definitely stay there again when my travels talk me back to Austin. "
350282,26915658,2015-02-22,5351520,Benjamin,"Not sure how our stay at Mary's and Greg's house could have been better! We were in town for a wedding in East Austin and our proximity to all of the events had all the other guests jealous. We didn't rent a car and it was super easy getting from/to the airport, as well as everywhere else we wanted to get to in town by bus. Great spot, great hosts, great amenities (I now have a new favorite salsa, thanks to the Shattucks). When we come back to Austin, we know where we will be staying."
350282,27245524,2015-03-01,23396057,John,Greg and Mary were very accommodating. The guest house was lovely and had everything we could have wanted.  Loved coming back to Spike running around the backyard! 
350282,27341283,2015-03-02,27130708,Andre,"Though we were mostly using Greg and Mary's place as a place to sleep after our host's sister bumped us from our original accommodations, we were impressed with the set up. The place is as advertised and the snack spread was appreciated (though hardly touched). 

Place was very comfortable, nice backyard and the bikes are a brilliant touch. 

Never actually saw him but Greg was super helpful in recommending a neighborhood spot for breakfast. 

Would highly recommend... great, central location. I would not hesitate to return.
"
350282,27497985,2015-03-06,26730585,Andy,"Greg and Mary were terrific hosts with a beautiful place.  It was an excellent location but tucked away on a quiet street. 

They stocked the cabinets and fridge and were quick to respond to any questions.  They also left a few bikes for us to use (sadly we never got the chance!)"
350282,27573690,2015-03-08,25229350,Gigi,"Comfortable, peaceful and  the extra's were a real treat.  Adorable spot on the patio with good coffee.  Thank ya'll for the wonderful Hospitality and accommodation.  "
350282,27791925,2015-03-12,24674358,Horacio,My experience was wonderful! This is a great little home located near a good coffee shop and a variety of restaurants.  I would definitely recommend saying here.  Greg and Mary were very polite and helpful. Great Experience!! 
350282,27856303,2015-03-13,26204771,Paul,"Greg and Mary have mastered hosting! You cant ask for a better AirBnB experience than what Greg and Mary have to offer. The property is very accurately described. It is a true cozy guest house that offers more than adequate privacy. It is in a very convenient location in very close proximity to downtown. There are local bars that are within minutes walking distance. The true win in the experience was the stocked fridge and cabinet. A good host ensures that the necessary essentials are taken care of, a GREAT host goes above and beyond and provides drinks and snacks! Greg and Mary are GREAT hosts!"
350282,28377696,2015-03-23,5183871,Oisin,"We were so lucky to reserve Greg and Marys cosy house for our visit to SXSW. Its a peaceful oasis of nature and has everything you could want and need for an enjoyable and stress-free business trip or vacation. They are gracious and considerate hosts who make sure everything is just right. I can't recommend them enough, and I hope its available for our next trip to Austin! "
350282,28576549,2015-03-26,1232786,Dave,"We had a perfect stay. Greg and Mary think of every detail — from the flawless communication to the well-stocked fridge to the fast wi-fi. Not only did they provide two bikes to borrow (a big selling point for us), but also helmets, a backpack, maps and local gift certificates. The guest house is on a quiet little side street, but only a block or two from fun local bars and a 5-10 minute bike ride downtown via Fourth Street. We'd love to stay here again."
350282,28984680,2015-04-02,26420890,Marki,"Our experience was just great. Easy, seamless. Greg & Mary were there for lots of helpful and thoughtful additions to make our stay work well for us."
350282,29255159,2015-04-06,9774487,Eric,"Greg and Mary's guest house was the perfect place for our Austin getaway. The house was very comfortable and came stocked with tons of amenities (lots of clean towels, a fridge stocked with Shiner and snacks, soaps, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, and a helpful information sheet with details on the neighborhood for example.) The description matched the house perfectly, and everything was clean. The backyard is beautiful and hanging out with their adorable dog Stella was a huge plus. 

The house is perfectly located - a quick walk to the East 6th Street neighborhood but on a quiet side street so there was no street noise. We were near tons of awesome bars and restaurants and had a blast. 

I gave Greg a quick call to ask him a question and he got back immediately. I found him to be very responsive to questions and I have no doubt that if something was the matter he would quickly work to resolve it. 

If I ever find myself back in Austin, I will absolutely stay here again. "
350282,29545282,2015-04-09,17369410,Karen,We really enjoyed our brief stay at Mary and Greg ' s guest house.  Their guest house was spotless and had everything we needed. We will be staying there again. Thank you Mary and Greg!
350282,29814926,2015-04-13,17517810,Pedro,"Mary and Greg's location is very home-y and is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. The guest house was immaculate and had everything we needed. The snacks that they provided are what really set this place apart from the rest. Besides that, the house is also very spacious and welcoming. A few other highlights of this house is the proximity to so many places to eat, comfortable bed, short walk to 6th street, oh and did I mention snacks! :) I can confidently say that this is the best AirBNB I've stayed at. "
350282,30070935,2015-04-17,27593947,Jolynn,"Our stay was great, Greg and Mary were very accommodating. They left us goodies upon arrival and had seemed to think of everything! The place was quiet and within walking distance of a ton of great food/drinking spots. Would definitely stay again! "
350282,30549134,2015-04-24,16110769,Julie,We had such a great stay at Greg and Mary's! The distance to downtown is perfect. We used the bikes to head to Lady Bird Lake one day as well. It was awesome! The snacks and drinks were much appreciated! We will definitely stay here again if we head back to Austin!
350282,30757234,2015-04-27,15030486,Stephanie,"I had a fabulous weekend in this adorable cottage! So well-appointed with comfortable sofa, lovely bed/bedding, front & back porches, central air, wifi, parking, and well-stocked fridge. Clean as a whistle and quiet too. I loved it - thank you so much! I hope to stay again."
350282,30966688,2015-04-29,28401553,Todd,Great place! Very spacious and close to a lot of fun places to eat as well as transportation options.  
350282,31048886,2015-05-01,28420911,Miles,"We loved staying at the guesthouse. The property was fantastically located in a quiet, residential neighborhood which was less than 10 minutes to downtown and had a bunch of great restaurants within walking distance. The house itself was very comfortable with everything needed for out stay, the fridge full of essentials was appreciated too! We also fell in love with the house dog, who was so sweet and fun to play with in the back yard. 

I would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in Austin. "
350282,31301351,2015-05-04,63047,Ronia,"This family is so good to me, I love them!
great place to stay!"

350282,32043302,2015-05-12,7090769,Michael,"I really liked the stay. The house is in a quiet neighbourhood with a lot of green around. The home itself was very homy and the bed is really comfortable.

Although I never saw Greg and Mary (only their dog ;) ) the email-communication was really friendly and I was able to stay there on a rather short notice.

I would definitly stay here again!"
350282,32174455,2015-05-15,11713593,Dave,Really cool house. Very clean and comfortable. Definitely recommend
350282,32497534,2015-05-19,3471091,Richard,"My wife and I had a great stay at Greg and Mary's cottage. It was very clean, and was thoughtfully stocked with all the amenities we could think of. There even were bicycles for us to use. The cottage was located in an interesting part of town, tucked away on a little side street, with easy access to the downtown area (including by bus with a stop three short blocks away, or a less-than-a-mile walk). Greg and Mary were fine hosts-available and helpful when we had a question or need, and their house was right next door. We heartily recommend Greg and Mary's cottage for your stay in Austin!"
350282,32735340,2015-05-20,33680357,Haley,"Was only in Austin for a night, the home was in a great location for going down town. Although I never met Greg or Mary they were very helpful. The guest house was very nice. Overall wonderful experience in Austin"
350282,32788306,2015-05-21,30370769,Matt,Decent location near downtown but kind of weird little guest house that felt like a crappy roadside motel - giant roaches and weird creaking included. Still worth the price.
350282,33070591,2015-05-25,26603783,Robert,"We had a great experience and would definitely do it again. They had everything we needed from towels, sheets to food and beer. The neighborhood was great to walk around at all hours. It was only a five minute walk from downtown. Greg, Mary and their pets were very welcoming and we would love to stay with them again."
350282,34903570,2015-06-13,21663096,Rosanna,The guesthouse is in a great location. It's safe and easy to uber to and from downtown ATX. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. 
350282,35238057,2015-06-16,33865763,Ashlea,Our stay in Austin was Amazing. Greg and Mary were so welcoming. The house was perfect size for my husband and I. What we loved most about the house was the location. We were in the perfect spot for everything we wanted to do. The house was peaceful and relaxing. The bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. We loved it. If ever in Austin again we will be staying here.

350282,38796780,2015-07-18,38491812,Karolina,Great little cottage with everything you would need. Mary and Greg are truly nice hosts and they do know what hospitality is. I was invited to they house and Greg gave me car ride to the airport. 
350282,38925789,2015-07-19,37943664,Christine,"My husband and I and our two Bulldogs had a wonderful 1 night stay. Mary and her family were amazing and a pleasure to meet when we arrived. The location is amazing. Not too close to the city where you get a busy vibe, but still a nice walk from the entertainment scene of ATX. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the living space was perfect size for two people. The backyard is can be described as something out of a story book, just beautiful. So pleased and happy with our stay.  "

350282,42872323,2015-08-16,37039767,Pam,The house was exactly as described pictures and all!  Walking distance to many great restaurants and bars but the neighborhood was safe and quiet. Greg and Mary were excellent hosts and I will definitely be coming back!
350282,44318349,2015-08-25,28248632,Diana,"Our stay was absolutely wonderful. The property is a quaint guesthouse just a few blocks from downtown Austin. The location was great - we were able to walk almost any where we wanted to go and ubers were plentiful. The guesthouse was fully equipped with everything we needed including cooking pans, bikes, beach towels, and bug spray. If it's available to book I highly suggest you do! "
350282,44846879,2015-08-29,8299753,Niccolo',"It's always good staying in this apartment.
Highly recommended!!
"
350282,45231194,2015-08-31,8299753,Niccolo',"The house is very cozy,And close to all the cool places in town.
Highly recommended!"
350282,45790801,2015-09-06,37804156,Vincent,"Greg and Mary's guesthouse was perfect.  My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights over Labor Day weekend and had a blast in Austin.  The East Austin location was great - very easy 15 minute walk to the 6th St and Rainey St neighborhoods or a quick uber ride to the South Congress/2nd St Districts.  I would highly recommend staying here.
"
350282,46800322,2015-09-13,26852036,Katy,"Greg and Mary were excellent hosts and very accommodating.  They made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay and were kind enough to allow us to bring our dogs.  The neighborhood and location were wonderful, easy walking to the Texas State cemetery and many restaurants, and complete with eclectic East Austin charm.  The house was the perfect size for two of us, clean and welcoming with a wonderful back patio that was so quiet and peaceful for being in the city.  We will definitely try to stay here again when we return to Austin in the future."
350282,47745378,2015-09-21,41952013,Matt,"The Inks rental was great! Greg and Mary's description of the listing was spot on. Very close to the East 6th street scene with lots of good food and drink options, and a short Uber or drive away from other areas of interest. A 6pack of Shiner Bock was found in the fridge (among other useful goodies) upon arrival, perfect way to start a trip to Texas. Having access to two bikes included with the rental was a great bonus, and a fun way to see the city. The hosts were very accommodating to my late afternoon flight by allowing me a late checkout time. I would absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Austin.
The only slightly negative feedback i would have, is that if you are over six feet tall, watch your head as you walk into the bathroom!"
350282,48118177,2015-09-23,43574980,Michelle,"Everything about our stay in Greg and Mary's home was perfect. From the location to the snacks and drinks provided by them...such a nice touch btw. We loved having access to bikes, this made exploring Austin a lot of fun. Thank you Greg and Mary for being so responsive. Thank you Stella for keeping us company in the backyard while we had our morning coffee"
350282,48501669,2015-09-27,20264832,Neil,Greg and Mary were very welcoming.  We enjoyed our stay in the guesthouse.  Great walking distance to many great food spots.  The guesthouse had everything we could possibly need.  Would definitely stay again.
350282,48774203,2015-09-28,41953962,Ryland,"Fantastic home In a great location. Comfortable bed, clean home, very cool backyard to relax in.  Would highly recommend."
350282,48962502,2015-09-29,39081139,Christopher,A spur of the moment Austin work trip presented itself to us and we decided to arrive a day early to explore. Greg and Mary's place was within walking distance of a few good restaurants as well as downtown. The house itself was great and we will definitely look to book again next time we are in Austin. Greg and Mary are great hosts. 
350282,49589755,2015-10-05,1525597,Ashley,"My husband and I had a wonderful experience staying at the guesthouse! It is clean, cozy, and in the PERFECT location. Totally walkable. Within a 5 minute walking distance there are loads of really unique bars and restaurants including live music venues, trendy places, dives, and loads of food trucks. I seriously loved the area so much. 

Greg and Mary are very easy to get in touch with if you need anything. There are extra blankets, towels, (email hidden)ally anything you could possibly need. We made sure to go to the grocery store, and made use of the kitchen in the mornings. 

The bed and couch are extremely comfortable. If you had a third person they would be more than happy sleeping on the couch. I napped there a couple of times. 

Perfect location to walk to 6th street, trams to ACL festival, and sightseeing. 

All in all, we had a wonderful time and will definitely look to book again any time we visit Austin. 

Thanks guys! "
350282,50162203,2015-10-10,29265471,Jason,"Great location. Really cool place. Nice small touches, that make all the difference. "
350282,50453262,2015-10-12,33661243,Sara,Greg and Mary were very hospitable. It was a very comforting stay. Next time I come to Austin I will without a doubt stay at Greg and Mary's place again! 
350282,50835876,2015-10-15,39477310,Robin,"This is the perfect little house for an Austin stay. This was my husband and my first experience with AirB&B and it couldn't have gone any better. The house was cute and quaint and stocked with anything you could possibly need, including drinks and snacks. It's was also a quick $5 uber to town (or a nice bike ride if you chose to use the bikes Greg and Mary made available). Very clean and a comfy bed. I would highly recommend. "
350282,51607252,2015-10-22,37676861,Nicholas,"Had a great time. Guest house was exactly as described. Hosts were great, snacks were great, Austin was great. Would not hesitate to book with Greg and Mary again. 

Only thing that worries me is that they were my first Airbnb and they've set the bar really high for other hosts. A++"
350282,52310338,2015-10-28,16173185,Matt,"Greg and Mary paid great attention to detail and stocked the guest house well. While the main house is just steps away, they give you full privacy as needed/desired. 

The custom-built Google map was especially helpful, leading to good food and the best sightseeing routes. "
350282,52436770,2015-10-29,46421948,Karah,"The house was exactly as described in the listing.  It was much bigger than a normal hotel room and the full fridge and snacks made it an even more special place to stay.  Everything was clean and the perfect size for the two of us having a quick overnight stay.  We had a car, so it was a quick few minute drive downtown, but the bikes provided would've been even better to use if we had more time to explore.  It was our first Airbnb experience and because of how great this one was, we'd definitely book again!"
2373762,50429044,2015-10-12,10263302,Danielle,Beautiful home & the hosts are super flexible. Perfect location- walking distance to restaurants and Barton Springs. We stayed here for ACL weekend two. The house was wonderful.  Thank you so much for letting us stay here! 
400517,1279947,2012-05-14,398148,Ricky,"My hosts were amazing and very informative people. The condo itself is beautiful and everything about the place was comforting. I liked the fact that I was able to use one of the bikes, and I was given plenty of information as to some of the great things to do outdoors. I highly recommend this location to anyone who would like to have accommodating and well-informed guests. :) 
I would stay again. The location is perfect, and the hosts are friendly people who respect privacy. 
Thank you! "
400517,1330110,2012-05-22,2279541,Bonnie,"Great easy-going hosts! I totally felt at home, and loved the central location near Lady Bird Park, downtown, South Congress, airport and many other great places in Austin."
400517,1359195,2012-05-27,2403780,Anna,"What a great stay! The hosts were fun, knowledgeable, and easygoing, and the apartment has a great location with cool decor. I'll book with them again next time I visit Austin."
400517,1461417,2012-06-11,575262,Vivian,"Steven's place was great!  Very Austin-y and wonderfully unique in it's decor (which was all self-designed too!).  Steven's townhouse is in a really great location; we were able to walk to the lake to do some stand-up paddling/kayaking, SoCo was 5 minutes away by car, and campus was less than 10 minutes by car, and getting downtown was a breeze too.

Steven was very gracious and offered to let us stay and dine on our last day but we had to leave unfortunately.  The room had a very comfortable bed with lots of blankets and an awesome A/C unit to keep us cool in the hot Austin heat.  In fact, I even got cold while napping during the hot day at points - very powerful A/C!  Also the room had towels and wifi for my laptop.  Steven also had a parking spot for my car inside by the unit which was very convenient as well.

Would not hesitate to stay here again on an Austin trip!  Thanks Steven!"
400517,1529177,2012-06-21,2264325,Kate And Michael (And Charlie),"Steven and Victor were a pleasure to stay with! We enjoyed every minute of our trip to Austin and some of our favorite moments were recommended by the two of them. They were welcoming and friendly but not overly in your face people, and are a wealth of knowledge about what to do and where to go while your there! 
The place was lovely and open and the room was clean and very comfortable (and they didn't mind us using the A/C!!) even Michael, who's not usually a dog person, grew quite fond of old Xena by the end of our stay! We never felt we were under foot or getting in the way of their usual routine, I would highly recommend this AirBnB to everyone visiting Austin."
400517,1560469,2012-06-25,2603715,Mike,"Steven is an awesome host! He's very knowledgeable of the area and gave a lot of great ideas for fun stuff to do! His home is conveniently placed not far from the downtown area, which is where we spent a good chunk of our time. I most definitely recommend him. Thanks, Steven!"
400517,1990298,2012-08-14,3197056,Jordan,"Recommended!  And then some, the place was comfy and beautifully designed.  Really can't say enough good things about the experience, it doesn't get better than Steven's place.  "
400517,2259115,2012-09-10,2695647,Franklyn,"Steven""s place is clean, inexpensive, very nicely decorated, and the location is excellent!
He is very hospitable, and sweet, and I'd definitly go back.
(He even has the sweetest old hound dog that you just wanna hug.)"
400517,2398204,2012-09-24,2566078,Zaza,"Steven and Victor are simply lovable! They were both home when I first arrived, and made a considerable effort to make sure everything was to my liking eg offering to put up extra blinds for me for sunny mornings in case I'm a light sleeper. Their best friend and Steven's sister came to visit during my stay, and we had some quiet evenings indoors....well they weren't exactly quiet: their playful banter filled the house with warmth and had me grabbing my sides with laughter. Memorable, relaxed, and a definite must!"
400517,2460224,2012-09-30,3676367,George,"I could not be more satisfied with my stay @ Stevens house.
The Bathroom and the Bedroom were exceptionally clean.
I also appreciated the fresh clean linens/towels.
Steven is laid back and pleasant."
400517,2509493,2012-10-04,2701715,Nicholas,"Stephen and Victor were great. The house was nice, the bed was comfy, and on the one night I stayed they took me to a great mexican place nearby and invited me out with their friends later (although if I'd wanted to be left alone they would've left me alone). Glad I stayed."
400517,2689555,2012-10-22,2919449,Ryan,My wife and I went to Austin for the Tour de Fat bicycle festival and fundraiser. Steven's place is right across the lake from where the festival is held and right on the bike path. A great place to stay when you're in Austin for any kind of event and really convenient to the airport by public transportation. We'll stay again next time we're in town.
400517,2774525,2012-10-31,439843,Sarah,"What a pleasant stay in Austin!  The room, bathroom, house were incredibly clean and comfortable and I felt very welcome in Steven and Victor's home.  Their dog Zena was super sweet and lovable as well without being intrusive.  Steven was great at recommending places to eat, catch some music, rent a paddle board, grab a low-key drink, etc.  The close proximity to the lake/river walk was a big plus and being so close to downtown via the bus lines, car, or taxi made a night on the town an easy task.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!  "
400517,2789272,2012-11-02,3991453,Jamie,Steven and Victor were very nice and meet us feel completely welcome and at home.
400517,2799894,2012-11-04,418046,Christopher,"I instantly felt at home here. Zena (sweet 14y/o puppy) would greet me with a smile and Steven and Victor were always ready for giving some inside tips or having a great conversation. They put their personal touch into everything and it looks great. We mostly hung out in the cool, nicely decorated living room or sat outside by the pool. They have all the amenities you could need and I highly recommend staying here!"
400517,2820057,2012-11-05,380693,Amelia,"The apartment and room are very comfortable, clean, well located (public bus to downtown is very close).  I felt immediately at home here.   Steven and Victor could not have been more accommodating and friendly- right away I felt like I was staying with old friends, or even a brother from another mother :) "
400517,2877981,2012-11-13,3902840,Tania,Steven and Victor were so welcoming! They gave us good suggestions and offered us juice and coffee in the mornings. One night we decided to stay in and we watched movies in their living room and it was cozy. Thanks for having us!
400517,3018677,2012-12-03,3638601,Shona,"I felt like I was part of the family at Steven's home which made my weekend trip to Austin all the better! The room was perfect and I really appreciated that they had the free Austin Chronicle for me to read and help pick out places I wanted to go, as well as allowing me to use the kitchen to prepare dinner one night. The food truck recommendations were brilliant - I am going to search out food trucks wherever I go now. Thanks for a great time!"
400517,3236675,2013-01-02,4351825,Tamar,"Steven is a great host, he was incredibly helpful and informative. Told us about many places to go in Austin and even brought us downtown when our taxi didn't show up, on New Years Eve...!!
The room has a really good bed and is clean as is the bathroom. We couldn't have wished for more.
Definitely advise to go stay with this very friendly host!!"
400517,3530287,2013-02-12,4962476,Courtney,"The place was clean and comfortable, and Steven was very helpful with directions and suggestions. Having the bikes was amazing too!"
400517,3568802,2013-02-18,4705621,Gleb,"Steven and Victor were wonderful hosts, they made our stay in Austin a really great experience. The apartment was beautiful, the bed comfortable, and the neighborhood was close to good food, good walking spots, and multiple public transit options. They also had two bikes that we took around the city one day, which was a lot of fun and a great way to see the city. Steven and Victor also gave us many recommendations for restaurants and bars and things to see and do, all of which turned out to be very enjoyable. "
400517,3585672,2013-02-19,2521847,Sadie,We had a great stay with Steven. He was helpful with getting is around Austin.
400517,3644643,2013-02-26,5175283,Debora,"This was/is my first stay in an Airbnb.  It was a very nice first stay.  Steven and Victor are very nice.  I would recommend them to anyone.  It was nice that they are close to downtown and the public bus system is very good. They invited me to join them in going to Whole Foods.  What a very nice surprise it was to see the biggest Whole Foods.  I enjoyed a clean, quiet stay.  Thanks for your nice hospitality.

400517,3688769,2013-03-04,5048637,Hayley,"Steven was a very helpful host. He gave plenty of suggestions of what to do for our first time in Austin. The room and bathroom were tidy, appointed as described and comfortable."
400517,3720645,2013-03-08,249239,Tobias,"Steven is a super nice guy and excellent host! Very accommodating and flexible when I asked to add more guests. His place is modern, clean and quite nice, the beds are comfortable, the room is private ... all around great experience!"
400517,3851178,2013-03-20,1192635,Michaël,"Steven was a great host, and he has a great place. 

The place is located very close to the river, which makes for great bike-rides into downtown and back (he gave me a bike to use). I had a lot of work to do, when I was there, which I could do right by the pool, since Steven has great Wi-Fi. 

Bikrides to Downtown take like 15-20, depending on you, and you'd need the same amount of time to go to SoCo.

The room is gorgous, not with the best views, but other than that like I expected it after seeing the pictures.

I also appreciated Steven's flexibility a ton. I contacted him on the day I moved in, and he still made it work. Not that I recommend doing that, but I had to, and he had the room ready in no time. 

It's also a great deal! I'd go back there any time. "
400517,3893301,2013-03-25,5269118,Sebastian,"Thanks Steven! Austin was a blast, the room really nice and the bikes the icing on the cake."
400517,3955810,2013-03-30,4404988,Tania,"Anyone can be a host but to be a great one is an art! Steven and Victor could sure write tons of books about how to make people feel comfortable, with their perfect balance of warmth,knowledge,sense of humor,wit and good taste.If you add  a location like theirs that has both the lake at walking distance and downtown less than 5 minutes by car (even in Austin's endless rush hours), you have the best place you could possibly stay! Thank you Steven and Victor for making our stay a  memorable one. (And please also send our thanks to Andrew ;)  *-*-*-*  Cualquiera puede ser un anfitrión ¡ pero ser de los buenos es todo un arte! Steven y Víctor seguro podrían escribir toneladas de libros acerca de cómo hacer sentir cómodas a las personas, con su balance perfecto de calidez, conocimiento, sentido del humor, ingenio y buen (website hidden) a esto se le agrega una ubicación como la suya que tiene tanto al lago a unos metros y al centro a menos de 5 minutos en coche (aún en las interminables ""horas pico"" en el tráfico de Austin), aquí tienes sin duda el mejor lugar  donde quedarte. ¡Gracias Steven y Víctor por hacer memorable nuestra estancia! (Y por favor, también dénle las gracias a Andrew de nuestra parte;)"
400517,4005762,2013-04-02,5311795,Natalie,Steven and Victor were wonderful! They made me feel right at home and had great suggestions for things to do and see. They even gave me a ride to the bus stop and to the airport because I was running late. They went above and beyond. 
400517,4085145,2013-04-08,575879,Rohith,"Steven and Victor were wonderful hosts. Their place is clean, easy to find and near public transportation into downtown and to/from the airport. They were very flexible with check in and checkout timing and would definitely stay there again!"
400517,4184401,2013-04-16,5237197,Christina,"My boyfriend and I went to visit Austin for the first time. Steven was very knowledgable about the city as well as the public transportation. We made good use of the bikes as we biked for 4-5 hours around the city, exploring neighborhoods and parks. 

Steven was a great host, very willing to share recommendations about the best that Austin has to offer! "
400517,4310780,2013-04-27,5105527,Melissa,"This is a sort of double review because my friends and I stayed at this apartment twice during our time in Austin. Again, I have to say how great a time we had on our trip with Steven and Victor's hospitality in their home, which had every amenity (including a beautiful pool!) we could have asked for. They were very helpful, super flexible, and also chill and fun to hang out with, and we do now consider them friends to catch up with the next time we're in the city! "
400517,4370120,2013-04-30,1313710,Nikki,"The condo was in an amazing location. Great access to the Lake and easy drive to DT and all the action. Apartment was spacious, safe, clean and the Hosts were very accommodating! I will be coming back :) "
400517,4390847,2013-05-02,5105527,Melissa,"We had the best time in Austin staying at Steven's apartment! Both he and Victor were the best hosts my friends and I could have asked for - super accommodating and helpful, going out of their way several times to make us feel right at home. Their apartment and the complex is gorgeous and in the perfect location, minutes away from several restaurants, shops and buses straight to the city. We had the best time in their lovely home and would recommend this room to anyone considering a visit to Austin!"
400517,4538076,2013-05-11,5507817,Alice & Peter,"Steven is amazing. He will go out of his way for you, and he is so welcoming and great. Stevens house had a water damage because of his upstairs neighbor just a couple of days before our arrival, but despite of all his own problems he managed to get us relocated to his mothers house in the same complex. And while we we were there he even still lent us bikes to go around. We can't thank this guy enough, or his mother or sister. They are so great people! We felt very welcome, and the house, room, pool and location is top dollar! This place is a steal for the price, so don't hesitate any further, book straight away!!"
400517,5774173,2013-07-15,5437755,Annelie,"Steven and Victor are great hosts that made our stay in Austin so much easier, fun and pleasant. Their flat is very well located and they have have an amazing swimming pool to beat the summer heat! Very friendly guys that gave us tips about the city and also lent us bikes to explore it further. We had a night in and met some of their fiends and had some wine and a great chat.  Extremely friendly, easy going and laid back hosts. The room was nice and clean. We definitely would love to stay there next time we hit Austin. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to stay close to downtown, In a nice apartment with chilled  and friendly atmosphere.

Although we were only there for one night and was not at the home for most of the time, Steven was very accommodating and had great recommendations on where to go, We arrived to Austin a bit earlier than the check in time and Steven was able let us check in a few hours early. Clean sheets and fresh towels were provided. The home was going through a remodel when we were there, but it did not interfere with our stay. This was perfect for a quick visit to Austin and I would definitely stay here again! "

400517,8983603,2013-11-30,1483855,Angie,"My boyfriend James and I stayed with Steven and Victor in their Austin home for nine days. The apartment is warm, clean, well-designed and full of modern appliances. It is centrally located in an up and coming neighbourhood, easy walking distance to plenty of great restaurants. We borrowed the bikes and spent our first day riding around the lake, which was lovely. Our hosts really went out of their way to make us feel at home. They even invited us to their thanksgiving lunch, for which we are very grateful. James and I had an amazing time in Austin, and couldn't have picked a better place to stay."
400517,9291685,2013-12-18,7323521,Alejandro,Arrived fairly late after driving from Albuquerque but still wanted to see the night life (on a Monday unfortunately). Steven suggested Rainey Street which had tons of bars open until 2AM and also some live music. The overall stay was excellent and definitely plan to return for a longer stay in the future.
400517,9728674,2014-01-06,10801260,Madison,"Great place, great hosts. Awesome location lots of food in the area, right by the water, comfortable bed, hot shower... Definitely would stay again"
400517,9791906,2014-01-10,10853911,Minhtran,"This is my first time every doing (website hidden) boyfriend and I decided to just give it a shot! I honestly didnt know much about it but I gave it a try. I would imagine it to be awkward but Steven and Victor were so welcoming. Steven responded within 24 hours and everything was smooth sailing. We told them our eta and Victor greeted us with a big old smile. He is such a lovely and friendly person. Right away he gave us a tour and answered all of our questions and even gave us suggestions on what to do. He took his time to show us where to go on his google maps. He is honestly the cutest thing ever! The place is nice and not to mention SUPER clean. The bedroom we stayed put was really clean and the bed was comfortable, it was hard for us to get out in the morning. Each morning Victor/Steven would great us and help us with suggestions on what to do. They even let us use their bikes which there is a lake trail literally right behind their apartment. It is also really close to downtown. They are honestly very friendly and southern hospitality sums up our whole trip. We were sad we could not say goodbye to them. They are very laidback! It was a great experience!"
400517,9845754,2014-01-13,11149328,Haley,"My friend and I just came for the weekend, Steven was extremely nice and hospitable! Room was perfect for us, would def stay with them again the next time I go! "
400517,9959768,2014-01-21,10687178,Marlena,"Could not have asked for a better host or locale for our 6 day trip.  Nice private room.  Lots of tips for enjoying our first time in Austin.  Saved us a ton of $ on renting a car.  Decided to forego car rental for first few days because they let us use their bicycles to ride all over town, and they live in such a great place most anything we wanted to see was within bike riding distance, and a beautiful ride taboot.  We rented a car for the weekend only for a $9.99/day rate, a deal Steven told us about.  They gave us a guide for enjoying vegan food in Austin.  Told us about the best place EVER to eat, Casa De Luz! Austin/TX guides and mags on the nightstand.  Directed us to a few great choices for day trips and we chose one and were delighted.  Thoughtful. Helpful. Friendly. We will be back.  Thanks guys!!!  You Rock!"
400517,10039195,2014-01-27,5642624,Anu,"Steven and Viktor were amazing hosts - very welcoming and accommodating. The room was beautiful, spacious and clean. They live in a beautiful community that is very close to everything in Austin. They even provide bikes for use - sadly we didn't have time to use them! 

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them and would recommend their place to anyone without hesitation. 
"
400517,10110676,2014-01-31,7312326,Aayush,"Steven accepted my request within 5 minutes of sending it. He was quite helpful and has a great place. Very clean, comfortable and great location. 
This would be my go-to place for Austin. Highly recommended."
400517,10635247,2014-03-01,11109938,Kenton,Steven and Victor were fantastic hosts for the entire month that I lived in with them. I was on a rotation for school and they were super accommodating to anything that I needed. The space was clean and they were very understanding when I had to get up and leave everyday at 5 am. They even went out of their way on many occasions to invite me to have dinner with them at the house. Victor is a fantastic cook!! I will definitely stay with them again in the future while visiting ATX!
400517,11517058,2014-04-06,2279541,Bonnie,"This was my second time staying with Steven. Again, it was comfortable, clean and a restful place to stay. Steven is easy-going and friendly. "
400517,12652439,2014-05-07,4158696,Erin,"Steven and Victor were wonderful hosts! They were warm, welcoming, and always available and quick to respond to text/email. The rental was very clean and open, creating a very relaxing environment. They are quiet and respectful, but willing to hang out and drink coffee. We really appreciated the hybrid bikes that were available through the rental, they got us all over Austin. All around great experience, great location, accommodating hosts, and pleasant trip. When we come back to Austin, we will definitely try to book this rental again. "
400517,14167268,2014-06-13,16304030,Susan,"Great location.  Pool was lovely, bed was comfortable. Victor was a great host, even bringing us water out at the pool!  I'd definitely recommend this place!"
400517,17833950,2014-08-18,8591754,Emma,"Victor was a gentleman, and the place was everything that we needed and I can't say enough how perfect it all was!  We were there for our anniversary, and Victor pretty much left the place to ourselves so we had tons of privacy, but at the same time he made himself available if we needed him. The location was perfect and we had lovely walks along the river. I highly recommend staying here! Thanks Victor and Steven!"
400517,18147471,2014-08-22,14131576,Ashley,"Absolutely wonderful experience! My friend and I came in from Houston and  this was seriously the best location. We took an Uber to some of the places we needed to go and we were so close to everything! We enjoyed the pool and felt super safe in the complex :) 

We will definitely be back! "
400517,18215581,2014-08-23,20163557,Anita,Description was accurate. The host and his friend Victor were extremely nice. We really just needed a place to stay at night and their house is really cozy. Loved the experience! 
400517,18591043,2014-08-28,14667564,Simon,"If you're in Austin, don't even think about getting a hotel room. Steven's place is better and a lot more affordable! He was super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Big comfy bed, AC, washing machine and a pool. What more can you ask for? Just a minute or two away from the bus stop and the awesome Buzz Mill where you can get great coffee, beer and some BBQ as well. Next time I'm in Austin I'll definitely stay at Steve's place again!"
400517,18917161,2014-09-02,20416923,Grace,Steven and Victor were very welcoming.  We really enjoyed staying at their townhouse.  The place was extremely accessible and right next to the River.  We also were able to use their bikes and rode around the lake.  Great place and great hosts!
400517,19501104,2014-09-13,20490980,Marc,"On arrival I was warmly welcome and was given a tour of the place. Throughout my stay I felt like I had the place to myself.The host was not in the way (practically invisible), but he was on call 24X7. When I left my cell phone at departure, all I had to do is send him an email and 15 min later I was able to get in and retrieve the phone (the host still invisible).
Nice (as is the neighborhood, though I was too busy to enjoy the lake)."
400517,19706695,2014-09-16,21019405,Johnny,The listing was exactly as described. Victor was very welcoming and made sure we were all set for our weekend. Everywhere he recommended was awesome and we truly got the Austin local experience. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for the stay guys! 
400517,20054992,2014-09-22,21210599,Josh,This was my first airbnb experience and it was great. The place was clean and Victor was very kind and helpful. I was also able to use one of their bikes to ride the new waterfront trail (highly recommend).
400517,20209670,2014-09-25,9950991,Hunter,We had a great experience staying here! We were able to experience Austin for the first time and had a lot of fun. The place is very clean and is in a great location to have easy access to downtown/convention center (6 minute drive).
400517,20393205,2014-09-28,10625283,Rene,"Victor and Steven were great hosts. They were very accommodating when unexpected car troubles made us check in much later than expected. The place itself was comfortable and clean. There is a big, clean pool on the property and access to a trail that goes around the lake. Several food trucks are set up within walking distance as well. It was a pleasure to stay here and we enjoyed chatting with the hosts. I wouldn't hesitate to book this room again."
400517,20608684,2014-10-02,1344084,Janna,"What an amazing home and wonderful hosts! The location of the home is exactly as described...a 3 minute walk to the trails on Lady Bird Lake and very close to downtown. The house is super cute, the room and bed are comfy and there's a pool which I unfortunately didn't have time to use! I highly recommend staying here. Viktor gave me great food recommendations and was an accessible resource. You will not be disappointed, great home, great location and great hosts. So grateful! :) "
400517,20677177,2014-10-03,5349620,Lizzie,"We had a great stay at Stevens, even though it was only for a night. He was very accommodating and made sure we had fresh, clean towels and sheets etc. His place is really lovely and right by the amazing bike trails and boardwalk. A great place to rest our heads for the night."
400517,21000041,2014-10-09,5455009,Arun,Steven was accommodating and his place fit our needs perfectly.  Location is also pretty convenient for events at the Austin Convention Center
400517,21708673,2014-10-22,20935881,Mark,"Steven was very accommodating being that our flight was arriving fairly late on a Saturday. Prior to leaving for Austin, his communication was top notch.

The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. It was a good size for the two of us so that worked out great. The whole experience was great, with nothing to complain about. Another thing that was great was the location. Their apartment is very close to SoCo and Downtown which made it easy to experience the city. 

I would recommend Steven to a friend and use their place again myself. "
400517,22143576,2014-10-31,21332786,Eliza,"What a great first Airbnb experience! The apartment is very clean and comfy, and  super conveniently located right by the river, and its beautiful walking/running/biking trails. It took us about 15 minutes to ride the bikes to the super hip restaurants on Rainey street, and downtown's lively nightlife. Victor was an excellent host, welcoming, friendly and full of great tips. Thank you so much for everything!"
400517,22377804,2014-11-04,22620493,Camille,Great experience! The place was clean and comfortable and Steven was very helpful
400517,23763941,2014-12-09,6970623,Mike,"Great location, right on the lake and convenient to downtown.   The apartment is exactly as described, and my host was very polite and accommodating.  I would highly recommend staying here it is a fantastic setup. "
400517,24206993,2014-12-22,9268527,Enrique,We really liked staying at Steven's house. We found it clean and the location was great for us. If you like walking you take the new river walk and get to downtown from his house. We will definetly go back to his house next time we go back to Austin. 
400517,26810933,2015-02-19,27846882,William,This place was great! Awesome location and the bikes were fun!
400517,27501836,2015-03-06,19703908,Benny,"Had a great stay, felt like our own home. Good location with some restaurants and coffee shop around the corner. Quick lyft to the downtown/nightlife areas.
Host had some good tips on where to go out at night"
400517,28564086,2015-03-26,27713296,James,"This was my first airbnb experience. The host was very helpful and friendly, the place was nice and tidy enough. Having access to  two bikes was quite a boon, because the location was reasonably close (and a pretty nice bikeride) to downtown Austin (if you're going to south congress beware that it's uphill tho :P)."
400517,28652330,2015-03-28,17010993,Lena,"This space was conveniently located to everything we wanted/needed to do in Austin. We were traveling through just for 1 evening/night, so we had a rental car, and it was nice to have a place to park on-site. The location is also convenient to the airport. The hosts got back to us in a timely manner and were flexible when our plans changed a week before our stay. The bedroom was clean and comfortable, but the rest of the space was not as much. There was not any soap or toilet paper in the bathroom, and there were dirty dishes in the kitchen sink, and leftover food on the counter. There was not any coffee or fully stocked kitchen as listed in the description. We had to catch flights at 5:30 a.m., so the coffee would have been helpful! Had we stayed longer I would have contacted the hosts about this. If the weather was nicer it would have been great to use the pool -- it was literally steps outside the door!"
400517,28938457,2015-04-01,6787289,Gail,"Steven answered our call and though he was not at the unit explained it had been left open for us.  Victor was in the home many mornings and nights and he is a very kind and gracious man.  Steven's sister and mom gave us restaurant ideas that were right on especially the Buzz Mill for casual barbecue.  Our bedroom and bath were nice and clean and a bit spartan.  We suggested an addition of a chest of drawers and bike helmets.  It was wonderful to use the bikes and the location is wonderful with the lake and river less than a block away.l  We enjoyed eating breakfast outside at the adjacent dog run area and brought our coffee and bagel out there.  The location is beautiufl and nice and quiet yet conveninet to town, bike trails, and major roads. "
400517,30963175,2015-04-29,15797917,Ryan,"We didn't get to meet Steven, but Victor hosted us in his absence and was a really warm, generous and accommodating host. The place is lovely in a great location and I'd absolutely recommend them to others. "
400517,35134005,2015-06-15,15906471,Dean,"Great place, and very friendly host! Amazing pool right outside the door. Very close to the riverwalk and only a 30 minute walk to Rainey Street and the downtown area. Highly recommend staying here"
400517,36250726,2015-06-26,14952646,Ashley,Our host was very welcoming and met us at the door. We had everything we needed in a very beautiful space. The location is fantastic. 
400517,36745313,2015-06-30,36797542,Lauren,"Perfect place! Close to downtown ( we biked to 6th street in about 5 minutes - although we had to bike through one less than ideal neighborhood to get there). Also great trails and easy (free) parking. We never got to meet Steven or victor, but both hosts were extremely helpful. Their friend Logan was staying there with his dog Gerty and the company and puppy play time was worth the cost alone! If you're going to stay in Austin, stay here! "
400517,38185722,2015-07-13,36894516,April,"We really enjoyed our stay and Victor was there to welcome us.  The location was great, plenty of restaurants and bars and biking trails nearby.  We had our own private room, but shared a shower with Victor which wasn't an issue.  Should we get back to Austin, we will definitely consider staying at this property again or at another one of Steven's.  "
400517,46227816,2015-09-08,21657615,Anna,"I was hosted by Victor during my visit, very welcoming experience. This place is just like it is in the pictures, and only minutes from Lady Bird Lake. I enjoyed the closeness to downtown and the lake, will definitely be coming back for my next visit to Austin"
400517,47016554,2015-09-14,43859748,Meredith,Victor (who actually lived in the apt) was amazing! We booked last minute and he was very quick to respond and get things ready for us.  The place was beautiful and in the best location EVER! He let us use his bikes.  My mother and I were obsessed with the trails right by his house.  He was very informative.  Knew a lot about Austin. We had such a great experience that we decided to stay another night.  That process was super easy as well. 
1213690,5588039,2013-07-07,7028236,Tony,"The stay Crystal's Modern Crafstman in Hot East Austin house was beyond my expectations. What a great house for entertaining and very comfortable bedrooms for our two night stay during the 4th of July weekend. This house has cold AC and very, very clean. It has all the amenities needed to make our stay effortless. There was nothing overlooked by Crystal when she stocked this house for our stay.
I must say, Crystal is a smart young lady and communicates well. She helped us with our concerns and even helped us with local things to do such as restaurants, bars and things for our two 14 year olds. Surprising, too, was the fridge stocked with beer and soda for arrival. Never ever see that anywhere.
The location is very close to the highway and our arrival and departures were quick and easy to navigate.
I would recommend Crystal's Modern Craftsman in Hot East Austin to all of my friends and to any of you reading this."
1213690,5695552,2013-07-12,687980,Don,"Amazing house with brand new appliances and furniture and an open concept living area great for socializing.  Walking distance to all the great East Austin bars and Paul Qui food trucks.  Showed up and there was libations in the fridge and personalized recommendations to the surrounding area on the kitchen counter.  Friends and I came into town for a couple days before heading West to check out Marfa and Donald Judd's displacement of internal spaces (some art guru's words, not mine).  Anyway, we planned on coming back to Austin after the weekend and staying at a hotel where I had some free vouchers for the last couple days of our trip.  However, we all liked the house so much that we canceled those free accommodations and booked this place again instead.  Coming back to this house after a long drive from West Texas really felt like arriving back home.  Couldn't recommend this place as a base to explore Austin more."
1213690,6073913,2013-07-29,6843268,Julia,"My friends and I stayed here for a bachelorette weekend; it was the perfect place for our gathering. The house was clean, well maintained, thoughtfully decorated and conveniently located!  Crystal was so accommodating and kind throughout the whole process; she didn't hesitate to go out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. If you love Austin (who doesn't?) and want a far superior vibe than any hotel could provide, then this is the spot. "
1213690,6240299,2013-08-05,6597655,Tina,"Crystal was a great host!!!! We were there for a girls weekend, and all of us LOVED their house!!!!! The house was beautiful, modern, very nicely decorated, comfortable, and well stocked with everything a guest could need. Crystal was very quick to respond to all the questions we had both before and during the reservation process. She provided great tips for every aspect of visiting Austin from suggestions of places to eat, visit, shop, etc. She was extremely nice, flexible, and helpful! It is very close to everything in major downtown austin, and easy to navigate around the city with a car. We absolutely loved our stay here, and would definitely love to stay here again on our next visit! I highly recommend staying here!"
1213690,6443000,2013-08-12,567028,Ryan,House was very nice and as described. Crystal was easy to communicate with and helped make our stay enjoyable. We had a great weekend in Austin and would stay here again.
1213690,6571974,2013-08-17,7975849,Hayley,"Crystal's house was perfect for our group of 6 on the first night of a bachelorette trip to Austin! The house was immaculately clean, comfortable, and well-equipped -- and very nicely decorated. We also much appreciated the wine and beer after a long day of travelling... Crystal was very helpful in providing recommendations for East Austin, flexible in allowing us to only stay one night, and extremely responsive when our GPS led us astray! I would definitely recommend this house."
1213690,6641374,2013-08-19,2707808,Paritosh,We stayed at Crystal's place for the weekend and absolutely loved it.  Is it a very beautiful house and Crystal was the most responsive host we have ever had through airbnb.  She has also made it extremely easy for any guest to check in and check out and really goes above and beyond to ensure that her guests have a great stay.  I would definitely stay here again and look forward to it in the future. 
1213690,6810072,2013-08-26,6942502,Beth,"Crystal is an amazing hostess. She allowed us early check-in and late check-out, so we got the most out of our one night at her awesome home. The house was spotless, in a prime location, and incredibly comfortable. We very comfortably slept 11 girls at Modern Craftsman + Guest cottage."
1213690,7042832,2013-09-04,6947534,Stephanie,We stayed at Crystal's house over Labor Day. What a wonderful home!  It is entirely modern and has a full compliment of amenities. I was amazed how close it is to everything happening in Austin. It worked out great for our family.
1213690,7328142,2013-09-16,2146580,Megan,Crystals house was absolutely perfect! The house was stocked with all the amenities for a weekend stay. The house is flawless and perfect for 4-6 ppl. We stayed with two of our friends for the weekend and it was great! Crystals attention to detail and promptness for her guests made this a seamless visit. We would highly recommend Crystals hour for anyone looking for a place in Austin!
1213690,7512825,2013-09-23,8005475,John,"Gorgeous home, awesome location. Extremely reasonably priced, very low maintenance. Infinitely better than a hotel. Highly recommended!!"
1213690,7775291,2013-10-02,8517386,Alejandro,My first visit to Austin as well as my first AirBnB experience could not have gone better all thanks to Crystal with her amazing house and tailored recommendations. I can't wait to return to Austin and to this amazing home. Why would you ever go to a Hotel?!? Thanks Crystal!
1213690,7823295,2013-10-04,8647796,Joanne,"Amazing apartment, would definitely recommend to everyone and would love to stay there again.. best air bnb I've stayed in!  Very clean, modern, well equipped and only a bus ride away to the centre of Austin.. more expensive than the others but worth it!"
1213690,7914691,2013-10-08,6656178,Robyn,"My friends and I stayed here during ACL.  It was a wonderful, cool, clean refuge from the heat of the festival.  And Crystal was so accommodating!  We would definitely all stay here again!"
1213690,8148012,2013-10-18,4327083,Denise,"Austin was set as the location for our son's destination wedding, and with family and friends, we converged on all 3 of Crystal's fabulous properties for several days during this event. Crystal gets 5 stars for everything from start to finish. Her quick replies and gracious communication for months before the trip made me confident we'd chosen the right AIRbnb. She and her assistant exceeded our expectations in every way. This is Texas hospitality at its finest!!! Clean, beautiful, stylish and inviting accommodations with extras like wine and beer in the fridge, white fluffy robes to use in each bedroom, security systems to utilize, super easy check-in and check-out...I would most definitely stay here again! Crystal saved the day with her recommendations for restaurants and other fun stuff-saving us from an accidental bad meal and excessive driving...I couldn't recommend her highly enough. We were located super close to downtown and to the airport, and to 6th Avenue fun and frolic, near lots of great eating spots and even to a city park for our granddaughter to play. By far our best AIRbnb experience to date!"
1213690,8251134,2013-10-22,989004,Melissa,"Crystal's place was great... so great, we even arranged adding the apartment above the garage to our rental after we arrived so that more friends could join us! The space was clean, decor was nice... bedding and towels great, plus Crystal provided beer, wine and coffee! Her helper Rebekah was responsive and helpful too! We hope to come back!"
1213690,8619534,2013-11-08,4461053,Allen,Great location.  Perfect host.  
1213690,8651006,2013-11-11,4508600,Kathy,"This home is not only spacious and lovely, but the owner, Crystal, is kind, responsive and accommodating. Lovely open kitchen, three spacious bedrooms and a big, fenced-in yard. You couldn't ask for anything more. Also close to everything -- downtown and eastside eateries, bars, trailers, metro rail and more. "
1213690,8715657,2013-11-13,5975897,Kasia,"Crystal and Andrew are wonderful hosts.  My friends and I stopped in Austin while on a road trip and were looking for a place for the six of us to stay together.  After being on the road for ten days is was such a relief to stay in a real house in a real neighborhood with a garage and a washing machine.  The property is gorgeous and well maintained.  It is within walking distance of many bars and restaurants.  While out exploring the neighborhood we ran into Crystal and Andrew and really enjoyed spending time with them.  I would definitely stay at Andrew and Crystal's again.

  "
1213690,8732530,2013-11-14,4575657,Jordan,Crystal was extremely responsive and helpful. The place is modern and new and very comfortable and reasonably close to all that Austin has to offer. We enjoyed the place a great deal. 
1213690,8852126,2013-11-21,9490492,Dan,The place was great.  It really is a wonderful place.  Very clean and spacious.  I would recommend to anyone.  
1213690,9119935,2013-12-08,3587093,Roxy,"We stayed at Crystal's house while on a business trip in Austin. The house was perfect for our stay! It was so modern, clean, and we had more than enough space for 3 of us. The beds were super comfy, and we loved the extra amenities that Crystal included like bathrobes, toiletries, a Keurig coffee maker, and even some wine and beer! Also Crystal gave us so many recommendations for places to eat, drink, see music, etc. which really improved our experience in Austin! She was a great host, and was super helpful, communicative, and easy to reach. Would definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin!"
1213690,9437917,2013-12-29,7700831,Frances,"Stayed at this amazing house over the Christmas holiday with my husband, brother and parents. It was a perfect spot for us! Close proximity to everything we wanted to do. We jogged by the river every day, cooked delish meals in the open kitchen, and walked to many restaurants and bars near by! "
1213690,9861116,2014-01-14,1909653,Stephen,"Overall great stay, sparse but I'd say that's how you want a rental to be. Very well stocked with things like beer, wine, snacks, soft drinks, and condiments. Good location, walking distance to a lot of great stuff on 6th. Crystal is a great host, very responsive and provides you with very good insights. "
1213690,10031548,2014-01-27,9121325,Diane,"Our long weekend at Crystal's home was wonderful. Renting a home for 6 people is so much better than staying in a hotel. We were able to get up in the morning, have coffee and enjoy each others company. I would highly recommend Crystal's home if you plan to stay in the Austin area. It is a very comfortable home and in a great location.  Thank you Crystal."
1213690,10167518,2014-02-03,4159746,Jon,"Both the place and Crystal were fantastic! THe home is as lovely as it looks in the pictures, and it was the perfect refuge after full days of sightseeing in Austin. Crystal was even kind enough to have the fridge stocked with a bunch of little perks :) It's a nice short cab ride to the nightlife of the 6th street area, but with all the conveniences of a modern home. The code lock made it very easy for our group of 6 to come and go on their own schedules. I highly recommend it!"
1213690,10257940,2014-02-10,3955084,David,"Just got back from Austin this weekend.  What a great stay!  I have to say one of the best stays I've had so far on Airbnb.  Communicating with Crystal was a piece of cake, she was easy to contact from the minute we laid eyes on her place. The place is brand new and fully built.  The place is amazing, the pictures look exactly how it is.  The house was super clean as well.  The beds were super comfy and there were plenty of blankets and pillows.  She even provided us with an air mattress.  The location of her house was close to many places we wanted to check out.  Only a short taxi ride to 6th street as well. I can go on and on about how great the place was, but I do want to leave it off by saying that we were welcomed to a a great place with ice cold beer :)"
1213690,10377484,2014-02-17,5705873,Adam,"This place feels brand new! Clean, modern, effective, cozy. The heat / AC makes it exactly the right temp, and the place is ideal for someone staying in Austin.

This is also a livable and easy place to go -- there was food and beer in the fridge, and a grocery store a few blocks away.

It's not mentioned in the description, but if you're planning on spending time downtown (I was there for a conference at the convention center), you can take the 17 bus from across the street to downtown. It takes under 10 minutes and only costs $1! If you're out late, a cab back is about $10 (including tip). You can also walk it during the day.

The provided coffee is also a great touch -- but be careful to read the label. I almost drank decaf!"
1213690,10506225,2014-02-22,11420583,Gerardo,This home is simply perfect. Filled with everything you might need for a pleasant stay. Cleanliness was superb. Location excellent. Would certainly love to come back!
1213690,10663818,2014-03-02,370878,Shelly,"Crystal is one of the most thoughtful hosts I've rented from. We booked her East Austin home for a team of coworkers and she provided me with all the info I needed days before it was time to check in. She's also really easy to get in touch with—even when I just needed recommendations for nearby restaurants. :)

The home itself is incredible, too. It was spotless when we arrived. It's beautifully furnished, has a large kitchen / dining area, and all the amenities you'd need whether you're staying for a night or a few weeks. And, it's within walking distance of several food trucks and restaurants in the area. 

Thank you, Crystal. My coworkers and I will definitely be returning. "
1213690,10774539,2014-03-07,4369424,Richard,Fantastic house & a great host! 
1213690,11115534,2014-03-21,4911781,Kallye,"Stayed at the modern craftsmen and also reserved the cottage to accommodate our group of 8. It was perfect! Plenty of space and a great location. Short drive to anywhere we wanted to go. Crystal left a welcome packet with tons of recommendations and also a list of personalized recommendations based on our specific interests and things we wanted to do. Couldn't have asked for anything more! 
Thanks for everything!!! "
1213690,11169984,2014-03-24,5530734,Sheryl,"Crystal was so easy to communicate with and the house was fantastic!  It was great for a girls weekend!  This is a good location, close to the buses to downtown or just a short walk!  Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin!  Thanks for everything!"
1213690,11274800,2014-03-27,13113681,Rui,Great experience!
1213690,11345482,2014-03-31,11266352,Lindsay,"Crystal and her husband were simply amazing!! We walked into the house and it was even better than the pictures. Everything was so clean and seemed brand new! The rooms were spacious and the beds were more comfortable than my bed at home! She provided us with some beer and wine to start which was the perfect kick off to my friends bachlorette weekend! 

Everything we needed and more was available to us at the house. When we had an issue with the hot water Crystal and her husband came so quickly and troubleshooted the problem, we barely knew they had come and gone. She also listed great recommendation for local restaurants, bars, etc. I would never stay anywhere else if I come back to Austin, which I plan to do because its such a great city! I would highly recommend the Modern Craftsman not only because of what an amazing house it is, but also because of how accommodating and friendly Crystal is! "
1213690,12535629,2014-05-05,233853,Ryan,"This house is amazing and in a great location.  It had everything we needed to make us comfortable during our stay and the place itself is immaculate.  

It's located in an area where the bars and restaurants of E. 6th street are within 10-15 minute walking distance.  We had a car but walked when we went out.  

Crystal is awesome to deal with and super responsive.  I would recommend anyone visiting Austin to stay at her place. "
1213690,12726349,2014-05-09,3664501,Alison,"We had a great stay at Crystal's home!! It was so stylish, spacious and comfortable and a fun space to come home to!  Were out exploring then would relax with a cold beer on the back porch before heading out for the evening.  The beds were really comfortable, the whole house was clean and there was so much space!  While it is a very short drive to downtown and a lot of cute shops and restaurants, the neighborhood itself can feel a little...gritty. Overall, we really enjoyed our time."
1213690,12877704,2014-05-13,2256803,Sheah,"As others have rightly stated this home is perfect.  It is spacious, modern, with a gorgeous kitchen which even though I didn't cook I loved looking at. The high ceilings provide an even more open feeling.  Bathrooms have great tile and are spa like with thick and plentiful towels.  Soap, lotions, hair blower- everything you need is there .  Crystal is always available by email and answers questions almost immediately.  The beds were incredibly comfortable- had some of my best sleep here.  It is a terrific house.  This is a neighborhood in transition and will probably be one of the hottest areas in a few years but it is, as a previous reviewer said, sort of gritty right now. We were 3 women and would not walk around at night.  It is a short drive to where restaurants, clubs and shops etc are and we would walk once we got to our destination"
1213690,13061444,2014-05-19,8880522,Antoinette,"Communication with Crystal was clear and easy right from the start. We were in Austin for my niece's wedding and shared the house with my brother and sister and spouses. Very comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen, clean, modern bathrooms. Her advice on where to go for groceries, restaurants was very helpful. Loved sitting on the porch - the weather was exquisite, and the neighborhood very alive. Will definitely sign up again when the next niece gets married!"
1213690,13338042,2014-05-26,8716643,Victor,"This place was great!  The inside was clean and the decor was nice.  I am not so sure about the neighborhood since I am not from the area, but downtown was about a 5-8 minute drive.  It is next to some great food spots.   This place helped make me want to come back to Austin again!"
1213690,13692547,2014-06-02,12636427,Emily,We had a great time celebrating a friend's 30th birthday in Austin.  The house was exactly as pictured.  It was perfectly clean and well-equipped.  Crystal was beyond easy to communicate with and all directions were straight-forward.  The keypad locks made check-in and check-out so simple.  Crystal has a fun knowledge of the area and was able to recommend some great activities.  The house is a REALLY quick drive to all of Austin's best spots.  We would love to stay here again soon.
1213690,14487597,2014-06-20,1832711,Kelly,"Crystal's place was really amazing! My clients absolutely loved their stay, and we hope to be back soon!"
1213690,15130629,2014-07-03,7813400,Kerry,"We had a great time staying at Crystal's place, it's a fantastic space and furnished very well. The rooms are large and spacious. Great kitchen/ dining area and patio for afternoon drinks!
Crystal was fantastic in providing lots of tips and recommendations of what to do and where to go. All communications where quick and helpful. We had an issue with the smoke alarm battery that Crystal dealt with quickly. 
We ended up hiring a car to get around which I recommend. Having the garage space is great. 
We loved Austin and I highly recommend staying here. "
1213690,15674643,2014-07-14,10858435,Jennifer,"First of all, the house was absolutely BEAUTIFUL & in perfect condition when we checked in. Everything was very clean and easy to find (extra blankets, towels etc.)

Crystal was an amazing hostess - she checked in throughout the weekend to make sure that we had everything we needed and also gave us some insider tips on good brunch spots etc. 

The house is located in a great spot minutes away from downtown. I would stay here over and over again!"
1213690,15934453,2014-07-18,2061620,Cecilia,"Crystal is a wonderful host! She was very attentive and made sure at all times that we were happy with our stay. We couldn't have been happier with the place, a beautiful house, excellent location, and over the top amenities! This is probably the best place I've stayed in through airbnb. "
1213690,16089632,2014-07-22,16099673,Megan,Crystal made us feel very welcome. I asked her for some recommendations on restaurants and other things and she left a very detailed list for us. The house was exactly as expected and very clean. We had plenty of room (6 adults and a 2-year-old in our group) and it was a great place to come back to after our adventures each day!
1213690,16447667,2014-07-28,9458902,Lauren,"We stayed in the house and the guest cottage for three nights for a bachelorette party and our experience was fantastic! We had plenty of room for all of or guests and we loved the decor and cleanliness of the home. The house was exactly as described and Crystal made it a very easy process, with early check in available to accommodate our flights. She was very helpful before the trip, even letting me ship some items for our party prior to our arrival and all were in the home waiting when we arrived.
The location was very central, with many of our trips to popular destinations taking less than 10 minutes by car. We felt very safe in the home and enjoyed ourselves very much. "
1213690,16895162,2014-08-04,15197213,Kristine,Our group had a great time at crystal's place! The house was clean and in great condition.  Crystal made the whole process so easy and was very accommodating to our group. We would definitely use the place again for another trip!  
1213690,17173546,2014-08-08,4247352,Jessica,"Crystals home is beautiful. It was spotless, elegant, and comfortable.  4 of us stayed one night but the place could easily accommodate 4 more guests (there are three bedrooms plus a queen air mattress).  Great outdoor space with a small backyard and awesome common area inside. We loved the funky feel of the neighborhood and walked to Crystals personalized recommendations for bars and restaurants.  She was easy to get ahold of and a pleasure to communicate with. You won't be sorry if you book here!"
1213690,17334217,2014-08-11,13573998,Kristine,"We were a group of 6 ladies looking for accomodations to suit our needs!  This house is a gem!  We loved how spacious it was, the decor, cleanliness, and hospitality the owner had to offer.  We didn't feel crowded and felt completely safe.  Working with Crystal was a pleasant experience, she accommodated our early check in request.  She checked in with us throughout the weekend to ensure all was well.   She provided suggestions for bars, restaurants, etc.  I would definitely recommend this and will rent from her in the future.  Thank you Crystal!"
1213690,17484034,2014-08-12,19514608,Rachel,Crystal was welcoming and very helpful during our stay. We loved the house and will definitely be returning when we're in Austin next! 
1213690,18351121,2014-08-25,11054393,Eric,"Crystal was amazing. She made sure we had everything we needed and even adjusted our reservation due to last minute changes. The house was fantastic and the neighborhood had great options including the Original New Orleans Po-boy and Cenote, not including great access to downtown.

The next time we're in Austin, we'll reserve from her place again!"
1213690,18725731,2014-08-31,18063533,Whitney,"Everything was absolutely awesome! Crystal was an incredible host. Expectations were clear, location was perfect, and the house was beautiful! Thank you!! "
1213690,19013853,2014-09-04,7308726,Steve,"What a perfect place to stay! The location is amazing which is close to just about everything in Austin. Coffee and BBQ are waking distance (what else could you need) and there is a lot of room in the house. It was really well kept and the easiest experience to check in and out. There were some annoying neighbors that would party during the day, but not at all a deal breaker because if you use the garage you'll never see them. Completely worth the money!"
1213690,19118840,2014-09-07,1753109,Jessica,"My friends and I had a wonderful time staying at crystals home in Austin. The place is spacious, clean, fully stocked, and in a great location. She gave us great recommendations, was available for questions, and quick to respond.  "
1213690,19841138,2014-09-19,20854696,Sarah,"Crystal was a great host and really made us feel welcome and even left a custom list of restaurants in the area she thought we may enjoy. Checking in and out was easy, and the home was beautifully decorated. "
1213690,19925701,2014-09-21,16870499,Meryl,"This was my first airbnb experience and it couldn't have gone better! The house definitely lives up to the pictures online and right away my group and I felt at home. We were not very familiar with Austin, but Crystal left us amazing suggestions of places to go in our short visit. She was so helpful & I always knew I could contact her if I needed anything. She is a wonderful host and has done an amazing job with this house. I would definitely choose to stay here again over any hotel in Austin.  "
1213690,20408985,2014-09-29,403806,Elizabeth,Crystal has a beautiful home and was very accommodating to us! 
1213690,20810469,2014-10-06,12738510,Toby,"Great place with an awesome host!  A group of 8 of us stayed here during Austin City Limits Festival.  The house was nice, spacious, modern and very clean when we arrived.  We appreciated the 2 air mattresses, towels and abundance of shampoo and soap.  The A/C was perfect as well. The location was great.  5-10 minute walk to the restaurants/bars of East 6th (way cooler than Dirty 6th street!) and getting an Uber/Lyft was never a problem.  Crystal was also an amazing host by responding quickly to our questions during our stay.  Overall, we were very happy with our experience."
1213690,21275785,2014-10-14,1278850,Brenda,"We absolutely loved staying here! The house is clean, modern, spacious and quiet. Crystal is friendly, very responsive and incredibly helpful. She gave us many useful tips. We also loved the neighborhood - super cool and not far from downtown. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and highly highly recommend this place."
1213690,21436987,2014-10-17,286392,David,"This was by far the best Airbnb experience I've ever had and I use the service all the time. Not only was the house gorgeous and very Austinish, Crystal was extremely welcoming and had all the amenities one could ever ask for. If you're visiting Austin anytime soon, you HAVE to stay here! "
1213690,21813122,2014-10-24,4263249,Marian,We had a great visit. Crystal was a friendly and accommodating host 
1213690,22116105,2014-10-30,13199672,Shaun,"My company rented this house for four of us to attend meetings in the area. Crystal was very good about giving directions to the house, and she had a binder with check-in and check-out instructions, area stores and restaurants, and she left us a card with personalized recommendations based on our interests. The house is clean, simple, and really lovely. We liked the neighborhood - there are several taco places within walking distance, and it wasn't far from downtown Austin. Quiet neighborhood. "
1213690,22388660,2014-11-04,23161180,Michael,"I booked this place for a business trip with two co-workers. We were very happy that we chose to stay here. It was much better than booking three separate hotel rooms. The house is very nice and clean, and the host is very responsive. I hope to be able to do it again."
1213690,22451156,2014-11-06,584746,Dani,"Crystal, and the house, were phenomenal!"
1213690,22574998,2014-11-10,11208092,Clayton,Everything was exactly as advertised and Crystal left a very good summary of local recommendations.  East Austin has a great scene of it's own and we were really glad we booked here.  The house was spacious and well-suited for our group of 4.  I don't have much to add beyond all the other great things that were said about Crystal's place.  We particularly appreciated the well stocked fridge for our arrival.
1213690,22727288,2014-11-12,4632650,Adam,"Wonderful wonderful property. Huge living space and all the mod cons. Great for groups to stay at, and within minutes of bars and restaurants. It might look like it is slightly out of the way from the outside photos but it honestly is not, and if you want to visit 6th street it is the perfect distance away. "
1213690,22739520,2014-11-13,14694623,Gabriela,"Excelente casa, excelente locación y sobre todo excelente locación!!! Sin duda cuando regrese a Austin regresaría aquí "
1213690,23144578,2014-11-24,34624,Shelley,"
Crystal's house in East Austin was perfect.  The posted photos are very accurate; the house is as beautiful as it appears on her site.   The layout of the house was just right for our group of four adults and two kids, as well as additional family members who joined us in the spacious kitchen for meals.  We loved the ambiance and the aesthetic of the home; contemporary, clean lines, simple, pleasing decor.  The bedding, linens and towels (luscious terry robes included!) were plentiful and of good quality.  The neighborhood was incredibly welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed many local bars, restaurants, and food trucks.  We can wholeheartedly recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in the hip and friendly east Austin area.  Oh, and Crystal supplied plenty of coffee, paper goods, and misc beer and wine for us!"
1213690,23354541,2014-11-30,3716180,Adam,Fabulous. Highly recommend.
1213690,23576247,2014-12-05,1832711,Kelly,"This is the second time we've booked a stay at Crystal's beautiful home, and this time was just as fantastic as the first! The house is beautiful, neighborhood is perfect, and Crystal is lovely. She's a quick and easy communicator, and very accommodating with our arrival and departure schedule. I look forward to staying there again!"
1213690,23624899,2014-12-07,21232476,Annie,"My cousins and I really enjoyed staying at Crystal’s rental house this early December. It was clean and very well taken care of. It was a great location near all the fun and excitement of 6th street and Austin’s best eateries and attractions. There were more than enough bedrooms, space, beds, pillows, towels, blankets, cups, and other amenities. The décor was very inviting and cozy. I would definitely recommend this rental home for a large group vs a hotel.  Everyone in our group was very pleased with the home. I would recommend Crystal’s rental property for any future Austin Texas visitors."
1213690,23805838,2014-12-10,21569774,Alan,"The host was awesome, her instructions were very thorough, the place was really clean, and the location was really convenient for our trip.   Most importantly, it was really comfortable.    We'll definitely re-visit the next time we're in town."
1213690,24354243,2014-12-27,19401944,Betsy,"Our family wanted a neutral ground to meet for Christmas and some of us had not been to Austin in 50 years. Then we needed a convenient location that would house 6 of us with maybe 2 more staying a night or two. This house was perfect! Great location between downtown and the airport, contemporary, like new, clean, well stocked, convenient laundry facilities, garage, lots of space in both bedrooms and common areas. The mix of the neighborhood gave it character! Crystal was most accommodating and a great resource."
1213690,24699665,2015-01-02,8090692,Ruth,"What a beautiful home in the heart of East Austin! The house was spotless, comfortable, and homey. Because we are a family of foodies, we especially enjoyed the fabulous gourmet kitchen. The neighborhood was in proximity to everything we wanted to do, and close to some really great restaurants and coffee houses. Our host was incredibly prompt with her responses. We would absolutely stay here again. "
1213690,25737898,2015-01-25,23004473,Hannah,Crystal was an amazing host.  She was very accommodating and helpful with local hot spot recommendations.  The place was fantastic!  It looks just like the pictures and is so convenient to all the great haunts on the East Side.  I would definitely stay here again.  We also used Uber to get around town and never had to wait more than 4 minutes for a car because the location is great (even at 6am on Sunday to catch a ride to the airport).  Two thumbs up!
1213690,26164513,2015-02-05,26600454,Heidi,Beautiful home and amazing space.  The backyard is simply gorgeous and relaxing.  The host is very attentive and answers questions with startling quickness.  Neighborhood is alive and was exactly what we expected for being in the area.  
1213690,26245346,2015-02-08,21812211,Paul,Great stay.  Exactly as described. Crystal couldn't have been a better host -- quick and helpful responses to all questions. Perfect for a small group or family. House is clean and very functional.  (Note: neighborhood appears to be getting hot and some clubs have opened nearby. That's either an added attraction - we took advantage of it - or a small nuisance if you're looking for totally out of the way.)
1213690,26437796,2015-02-12,1255541,Maria De Los Angeles,"Crystal’s house has everything a person may desire for an easy and enjoyable vacation. Its East Austin location allows for an interesting artistic and progressive environment with various restaurants and coffee shops for all tastes. Its proximity to downtown Austin makes it easy a stroll along 6th Street, a walk by the lake, and a must visit to BookPeople. The house is beautifully done with a tasteful minimalistic style, well appointed, and lots of warmth.  Crystal is a very professional and caring hostess. She provides a beautiful place that shows love and care, and the only task of the guest is to enjoy the place and care for it as if it were one’s own.  I would certainly book with Crystal again and recommend her beautiful home to others. 
"
1213690,26473319,2015-02-13,27494992,Paul,"Better than described.
Very nice home, open roomy, well decorated and CLEAN!
Host make it very easy for a first time BNB  user and I', nw sold on the concept- who needs a hotel?"
1213690,26585406,2015-02-16,2147070,Lisette,"I booked this house for a weekend away with some of my high school girlfriends. The house is beautiful and was perfect--there was plenty of room for us all to sleep and the open kitchen and living areas meant we could spend a lot of time cooking, eating, and chatting comfortably. We didn't spend too much time in the outdoor spaces, but at a time of year that's a little warmer they would also be great for relaxing with a group. 

One added feature of the house that we discovered when we arrived is that it is just a few blocks away from lots of fun bars, restaurants, coffee shops, food truck spots, etc. We felt like we really lucked out because everything was so close, and never having been to Austin before we were really excited to have accidentally landed in such a great neighborhood and in a house that was so centrally located. 

Crystal was a great host and very communicative and her welcome packet had lots of great tips and info for exploring Austin. All in all this was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it."
1213690,26836565,2015-02-20,15655685,Christine,"Beautiful home and felt very welcome. The place was very clean and spacious. So close to the city and airport. I would stay here again next time I am back in Austin. Crystal was a perfect host and even had welcome gifts! 

The place is big enough for 7+ people to stay comfortably. 

"
1213690,27210210,2015-02-28,20971707,Carrie,"Crystal could not have been more accommodating. The house is very inviting, clean, and close to many east side attractions. Highly recommended! "
1213690,27500548,2015-03-06,7128453,Ryan,"There is so much I could write about our positive experience with Crystal and this location. We're a small digital agency and this was our second stay in Austin, and our first with Crystal. The space is large. Bigger than the pictures depict. Clean and bright with tall ceilings, large bedrooms and bathrooms and all the amenities you need. You can tell that Crystal cares about this place and her guests. 

Then there's East Austin. WOW. You can't ask for a better place to stay. I definitely recommend wondering into ""Stay Gold"" across the street at any time of night for a true blue Austin evening. Great music and great people. 

I only wish our stay was longer so that I could explore the rest of Crystal's recommendations - because everyone we tried was spot on. "
1213690,27638085,2015-03-09,1250671,Ariel,"Crystal's place couldn't have been more perfect for our 8 person group. The ""Stag House"" as we lovingly nicknamed it (due to several deer-related art pieces) was clean and simple but well equipped with all the necessities. It was on a quiet side street yet close to all of East Austin's eccentric offerings (ample piñata stores for instance!) and amazing eats/bars. Crystal was so lovely to book with, super flexible and responsive when needed, but also gave us plenty of space during our visit (we didn't actually ever see her). I highly recommend her place for visiting couples, friends, colleagues. Can't wait to visit again!"

1213690,30879598,2015-04-28,23380954,Stephanie,"I loved staying at this house!! The house is perfectly located. Extremely walkable to great places in East Austin. There was more than plenty of room for all 4 adults in this beautiful house.  The house was so lovely and proved to be a respite for us at the end of each day. 

Crystal was amazing and so helpful. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin and recommend it to my friends.  "
1213690,31073194,2015-05-01,2639492,Christopher,"Fantastic place. I lived in Austin 20 years ago and took this as an opportunity to reacquaint myself with the town and spend quality time with my brothers. The house is nicely located in the East Side and walking distance to hip bars and restaurants, and lots of food carts. The house is very well done inside. 3 good sized bedrooms with comfy beds and an ongoing communal food and beverage store left over from previous tenants. Great karma with the pay it forward vibe. If you want to immerse yourself in Austin, this is a great home base to do it from. Crystal is an outstanding host. She communicates clearly and is very responsive.  "
1213690,31592127,2015-05-07,4745326,Sheli,"Love this place!! The communication from Crystal immediately after booking through leaving was wonderful. The place is absolutely spotless and conveniently located. This was a perfect rental and clearly Crystal knows her business.

She gave excellent recommendations for food and drink and Austin was all I expected it to be- loved it and can see the draw.

Thank you Crystal!"
1213690,32141729,2015-05-14,20971707,Carrie,"This is the second time we have used this house, and it's a real treat. Great layout and updated finishes. Crystal could not be more accommodating. Highly recommended!  "
1213690,32450046,2015-05-18,24802801,Katie,"This house could not have been more perfect for our bachelorette weekend in Austin. Comfortable, clean, funky decor and perfectly situated in cool East Austin. We hit up the Violet Taco truck behind the house one too many times.  Crystal was beyond helpful and accommodating, an excellent hostess!

The plush bathrobes and plentiful towels made this stay more luxurious than a hotel. I debated back and forth where to stay and was so pleased I chose this house. Cannot recommend highly enough!"
1213690,34399280,2015-06-08,4899479,Jeremy,"We also rented the main house and the cottage was just as described.
Very comfortable, perfect for two people."
1213690,35199654,2015-06-16,17891955,Julie,"We had a wonderful time here. The craftsman was spacious (even bigger than it looked in the pictures) and we were very comfortable as a group of 6 adults. The location was great, it's just a few steps to a delicious taco truck, cocktail bar, and music venue. Crystal was the best host I've coordinates with so far. She was friendly, very responsive, and provided great suggestions that matched the interests of our group. I would 100% recommend staying here. "
1213690,35351363,2015-06-17,21520256,Lilah,"Crystal was great!  She replied quickly and instructions as to how to get in and what was expected were very clear.  The house was VERY clean, cool, and comfortable.  The pictures are accurate and the house is close to the trail, so it was great to go running near by.  Crystal is a great host I I recommend her and her place!"
1213690,35420397,2015-06-18,5759239,Robyn,Crystal was a pleasure to work with.  She provided detailed instructions on how to access the home and included recommendations on things to do in the neighborhood.
1213690,35636805,2015-06-21,11375920,Luke,"Awesome house in a great location!  Everything was well set up for us to stay for the weekend, I really appreciated all the amenities like having coffee and condiments stocked.  This house is a short Uber ride away from Rainey or 6th, and there are also a couple cool bars and restaurants within a very short walk."
1213690,36192408,2015-06-26,21856092,Rick,"I spent six days here while attending a conference in Austin. 

This house is exactly how Crystal and the photos describe it. The rooms were lovely and clean. Super modern amenities and solid construction. I was incredibly comfortable and was able to get all of my work done without the typical hotel noise and distractions.

Crystal was so accommodating and she really does think of everything. 

I never felt like I was in someone else's home. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go back! "
1213690,36368426,2015-06-28,27002242,Carrie,"My friends and I rented this house for a girls weekend and we LOVED it. The house has a great set up, with both a front and back porch, and plenty of space inside for relaxing and sleeping. Crystal was accommodating from the moment I had the reservation! She made recommendations for everything I was looking for -- from brunch, to public pools, to the best place to get a taco (an Austin staple.)  She was quick to respond upon any issue (the battery died in the garage door opener and responded immediately) Highly recommend! "
1213690,37207603,2015-07-05,8881224,Michelle,Crystal was so helpful! She responded quickly throughout the weekend and was great about giving suggestions on places in Austin. The house itself was beautiful and had everything you could possibly need. We will definitely be renting this place again in the future! 
1213690,37740969,2015-07-10,26172069,Abigail,"This was an absolutely PERFECT Airbnb experience. Crystal's home is amazing - even more spacious and modern than the pictures look, and fully stocked with everything we could need for our stay. There were all sorts of towels, toiletries, glassware/kitchenware, coffee, a stocked kitchen, etc. The home itself was so relaxing, clean and modern, and had a great patio where we enjoyed cocktails in the evenings.

Crystal was a fantastic host - very responsive and attentive to our every need! I'd absolutely come back to stay in this house again, and would recommend it in a heartbeat."
1213690,40221291,2015-07-29,7532389,Lange,"Great location, spacious, and well-maintained.  The garage was an added plus as well.  Highly recommended."
1213690,40384998,2015-07-30,3107952,Julia,"Crystal is a great guest! Her house is astonishingly beautiful and well design. My tv-crew stayed only for one night, but they told me they could have spent all the trip in her house. 
Thank you again Crystal. "
1213690,40710256,2015-08-02,28134897,Heather,"This house was even better than the pictures...plenty of space for eight of us to stay comfortably on a bachelorette trip. The neighborhood was a short can ride away from both Sixth and Rainey St. and having a fully stocked kitchen was wonderful! Crystal was a lovely hostess, and thought of every detail from beer in the fridge to bathrobes in the bathroom (which, by the way are incredible). Nobody wanted to leave the house at the end of the weekend! Thanks Crystal :)"
1213690,41443344,2015-08-07,38794984,Katherine,"From the time we reserved the space, Crystal was so helpful with our stay with recommendations for restaurants, attractions and things to do with our children.  I was so surprised to find things like a coffee grinder and French press even!  The place was fresh, clean and felt like home.  We had all amenities we needed including a refreshing beverage when we walked in.  Cool restaurants were right down the street or a short drive away, and by having separate bedrooms, we could put the kids to sleep and still enjoy our evenings together.   we were even able to serve appetizers to my brother and his family when they stopped by--all because of Crystal's finishing touches--of even having serving trays for guests!  This rental is truly a gem--I cannot say enough good things about this rental, but more importantly, how Crystal made us feel.   I would recommend this place highly to anyone!"
1213690,41543876,2015-08-07,13544892,Amila,"We had a great stay here!  The house was so cozy and clean.  It felt like being at home.  The neighborhood was great, with lots of local bars and restaurants nearby and great proximity to other areas of Austin.  The house had all the amenities we needed (and more!).  Crystal communicated with us quickly and effectively, and she was a great host!"
1213690,41917110,2015-08-10,27188321,Justine,"When my 7 friends and I walked into the house for a bachelorette weekend we were incredibly impressed with the house the second we walked in! Crystal's home is beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. She has a great pay it forward policy so there was beer and some snacks already in the fridge that we were able to have. The house was very clean and had everything you could possibly need (bathroom products, hair dryers, cooking supplies and more). The location was perfect for us...close enough, but far enough from 6th street which is where we spent a lot of time. Crystals restaurant recommendations were great as well as the other bar and coffee shop recommendations she had in our welcome packet. Overall we had a perfect weekend at the home and would not change anything. Thank you Crystal for making our trip so easy and a home away from home! "
1213690,42242657,2015-08-11,21135659,Daniel,Exactly as described! I was pleasantly surprised by the cold beers waiting for me in the fridge! Thanks again!
1213690,42507626,2015-08-14,27998203,Janet,"Crystal's beautiful home was exactly as the description and pictures promised it would be. The house was spacious and clean and well appointed with lots of thoughtful touches. We used uber to get around, which was easy and efficient, as nothing was more than 15 minutes away. After exploring during some pretty hot August days, we looked forward to returning to our comfy and cool house. I highly recommend Crystal's place if you're heading to Austin. 
"
1213690,43476680,2015-08-20,29243487,James,"Although this was our first time to Austin Krystal and the accomodation far exceeded anything we expected. The house was amazing, had everything we needed and easily catered for our group of five. Krystals personalised recommendations note was helpful and provided us with plenty of local gems.
Would definitely stay here again. Loved Austin and Krystal helped more than we could ask for."
1213690,44897644,2015-08-30,14519307,Terry,"Crystal made us feel very welcome and she was very responsive to any questions or needs we had. The house is lovely, just as the pictures show and well equipped with linens etc. The only downside is the neighborhood. It is very close to a bar with live music on the weekends until about 2:00 am. It was loud and cars and people from the bars park and walk beside and in front of the house. If you like to party until the wee hours it is perfect. A mid week stay is probably quieter. It is an inexpensive Uber ride to downtown though!"
1213690,45920706,2015-09-07,4478208,Heather,"Crystal is a super host and my favorite Airbnb yet. She left a detailed welcome packet for us and of course a lovely bottle of wine. There was also plenty of condiments in the fridge, spices in the pantry and coffee/tea/sugar, as well as a bunch of liquor left over from guests. I was celebrating my bachelorette party with 4 friends and the house and location was perfect for us! We used Uber around downtown and rented a car to go hiking in the Balcones National Park. The bathrooms were also stocked with leftover toiletries from past guests, many of them full and the full size bottles Crystal provides were great! Towels, sheets, tons of pillows and robes were all amazing. All you need to bring is your toothbrush! Even big day bags were in the pantry for Barton springs or hiking trips. Our neighbor Juan, is hilarious, you won't miss him. He's always out in his yard with his rooster, chickens (baby chicks too), 2 pits, and a chihuahua, say ""Hola"" for us! We loved Counter Culture for super filling and cheap gourmet vegan, half a mile from the house and Whisler's Bar was one of our favs nearby. Austin rocks and we made sure to keep it weird! Check out our bassist friend Christopher Alexander, he plays a lot of local bars like Maggie Mae's!"
1213690,46697842,2015-09-13,12815106,Leanne,Rented the house for a bachelorette and it was fabulous! The house was spacious and had great amenities; wish I had the opportunity to cook more in the kitchen with the gas range! Crystal was very responsive with feedback and was accommodating when we had to alter our plans a bit. The house was centrally located and we had a great time checking out her suggested places to see in Austin! Would definitely recommend the house to others looking for a home base to visit Austin.
1213690,47187044,2015-09-16,32528830,Elena,"Absolutely wonderful home in a fantastic location! Host was super responsive and helpful. I can't imagine a better stocked, nicer place in Austin! Can't wait to return. "
1213690,48135944,2015-09-23,42122693,Cyndy,We had an amazing time at Crystal's house!! Very comfortable with everything that you would need to cook meals or just relax after a long day of taking in all that Austin has to offer. We were close to great restaurants and nightlife. We were a party of two couples with lots of room. We would definitely rent Crystal's house again!!!
1213690,49583549,2015-10-05,9163536,Allie,"Crystal's house is fantastic!  The location could not be better with great bars and restaurants within walking distance.  We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely stay here again when we are back in town.  The house has everything that you could need, is very comfortable, and is super stylish and cool."
1213690,50061315,2015-10-09,3894602,Caroline,Loved the house!  Crystal is an excellent host!
1213690,50902519,2015-10-15,12740418,Lauren,We loved this little house. It was perfect for our group of 6. The neighborhood is extremely walkable. We loved checking out the local food trucks and boutique shops. Being close to downtown and the 35 was also a perk. We would definitely stay again!
1213690,51518712,2015-10-20,46876704,Michael,Perfect place! Very nice and had all we needed. Thank you Crystal. 
1213690,51679456,2015-10-22,10551476,Jesse,Crystal's home was very clean and comfortable. Loved the location.  She was very helpful and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.... and again. 
1213690,52042137,2015-10-26,12232921,Andrew,"This home was perfectly located as a between for downtown Austin and the Circuit of The Americas during race weekend.  It is in a decent neighborhood with lot's of good food and a hopping live music club a stones throw away.

Crystal's 'Check In' message and 'House Book' is complete and without want.

The house is kept immaculately clean and was without fault. There is plenty of bath necessary's and abundant towels.

A few caveats that did not detract:  The club down the street is quite loud until around midnight, and there's a BIG rooster next door. If you're in Austin and there to sleep, well... then you are visiting the wrong city.  Earplugs are provided.

Super cool host with great communication.

Best for people who will not be around the house very much.

Recommended.

1213690,52448508,2015-10-29,28311441,Fatima,"We had a great stay at Crystal's place and she was a fantastic host. Crystal took care of all kinds of details and made the stay very easy (e.g. great Welcome Package and loads of suggestions). She was also super responsive whenever we had a question. A colleague and I stayed at her place while travelling for work. It's a terrific layout for such a stay - one bedroom with full en suite, and two more bedrooms across the house with an adjacent full bathroom. It was bright and cheerful and in a great part of the City ... 6th east is happening! And the core is only a $5 cab ride away."
5762982,28967087,2015-04-01,29267921,Maria,"Staying with these folks was the best expirience ever :)
We became good friend with everybody at the house.
Martin was super helpful and so fun to be with, as was everybody at the house. 
The house was awesome too, everything was close by and convenient, clean, cozy bed and huge backyard.
If you are looking for a place in Austin and also are in to tech, this is the place :)
Looking forward to visiting you again soon!
Thanks again,
Maria and Karl"

5629969,47938586,2015-09-21,31545832,Taylor,"Leslie was great, met us at the apt. and gave us a quick rundown of the space, also had printed out guides to help after she left. She also let us know she was just down the road and we could shoot her a quick text at any point in time if we needed anything. Was flexible about check in and check out which was a nice change from other places as well. The space was great, very clean and was perfect for our group of 6 for the weekend. Would definitely recommend both the space as well as the owner to rent from again in the future. "
5629969,52062608,2015-10-26,25430517,Stuart,"We came into town for theGrand Prix, and we could not have found a better place to stay! It was 30 minutes to the track, and was less than 10 minutes to downtown. Uber drivers were less than 5 minutes away. Apartment was very clean and super comfy - would definitely recommend."

8733524,51592617,2015-10-21,14639226,Michael,"This apartment is in a phenomenal location, no matter you're reason for visiting. It's a short walking distance to Sixth Street, Rainey Street, the convention center, the capitol building, and Town Lake.

The bedroom and accompanying bathroom were very clean and well-prepared. The apartment, as a whole, was comforting and supplied me with all the amenities I needed. Overall, it was as-advertised and I enjoyed my stay.

Charlie's roommate was around briefly in the morning, and for a short while each of the two evenings. He was friendly and helpful. Great place overall to stay in downtown Austin!"

76455,3778058,2013-03-13,4631801,Samantha,Have been at Megan's for SXSW and was great location for short notice. Megan kindly gave me a lift downtown every morning as she was attending the event herself - she event dropped me on Saturday evening even though she was not attending anything. It's only 10 mins downtown and approx $20 in a cab. Taxi's are a bit of a nightmare across the whole of Austin during sxsw so this was very much appreciated. She and her husband were kind and welcoming - but left me to my privacy. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting! Fantastic host!!!!

A big group of us girls stayed here over a weekend for a bachelorette and everyone was impressed by the house. It was cute and comfortable with plenty of space. They even stocked the fridge with beverages and left delicious chocolates throughout the house. I'm pretty sure we devoured them all. The house is in very close proximity to downtown...just a short inexpensive cab ride away. All in all, our group of girls was very pleased and will definitely stay here again on our next trip. No need to look elsewhere!"

776870,28373775,2015-03-22,28409853,Julian,"The amenities were exactly as noted in the description and the pictures.  We made contact at the last minute as are plans were not finalized until days prior to us needing a place to stay.  I contacted Chris and he had the place ready for us within an hour and a half of us making initial contact / booking.  There were 10 of us, we were attending an event at SXSW and was critical that we stayed together.  This home was perfect and the host went above and beyond to ensure that we had what we needed, when we needed it."
776870,28695245,2015-03-29,24051032,Rekha,"Our host was timely in responding and was very helpful. The house was a nice size for our group and was in walking distance to the restaurants on Manor Road. Everything in the house was clean and easy to find, except maybe a toaster! :)"
776870,29757772,2015-04-12,29291082,Corey,"This place is great! We booked as a group of 8 for a long weekend, and all 8 of us had positive reactions right when we walked in. The house is very clean with all the amenities you could want. The pictures also don't do justice to how much space there is. 

Chris was very helpful and responsive. For every request we had, he accommodated us in a timely (website hidden) combination of great house and host means this is the first place we will try to book the next time we're in Austin!"
776870,30188709,2015-04-19,25759163,Tiffany,"Chris was an awesome host.  The house itself had all the amenities you could need for a comfortable trip.  It was also very clean and spacious.  We were a group of 9 ladies.  Everyone had a place to sleep, and he even provided some drinks, snacks, and extra supplies to use.  I would definitely want to stay at this house again!  Thanks, Chris!"
776870,31177755,2015-05-03,7040651,Errol,"Christopher is a great host. He was very helpful answering all my questions very quickly. The house was just as described and more. The pictures just do not do it justice. There is plenty of space to have a good time. We had 10 guys here for 3 nights and everyone had a place to sleep. The kitchen was fully stocked with cutlery and glasses. Also the fridge was stocked with a few amenities. Location wise, everytime we needed to go ANYWHERE it took us less than 10 minutes. You cant get a primer location than this.   "
776870,32962978,2015-05-24,3551266,Katrina,"Our bachelorette party had a great time at Chris' place!! It was beautiful, clean, spacious, and close to everything! Chris was a wonderful host who checked in with us to make sure we had everything! We definitely be renting again for future trips to Austin! "
776870,37173820,2015-07-05,6464356,Samarth,"9 of us stayed at this house for a long weekend and had a great time! Christopher was responsive via messages, left a clean and tidy home for us to check-in to and provided resources about Austin which we used to plan activities. The home was spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our time in Austin. There was room to park in the driveway, plenty of bed space and all the modern amenities we wanted."
776870,38921570,2015-07-19,37151872,David,"Chris was an awesome host! He reached out to me before the trip with a list of things to do, places to go, restaurants to eat at etc. He was always very quick to respond with any questions I had. He even had a pretty stocked pantry and fridge he let us snack on! Overall, he was an awesome host. 

The house was perfect! It was very clean when we arrived. We had 8 guys and all fit very comfortably. There was plenty of sleeping space between the beds, pullout beds, couches, etc. The house was also much bigger than I expected. It looks a bit narrow from the front, but really opens up in the back. Space just was not an issue for us. It was about a $5-7 uber ride from 6th street/Rainey street.

Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We really enjoyed the house, location, and Chris."
776870,45965830,2015-09-07,17817273,Todd,"Great Place, Great Host. Everything as advertised. Very easy to get to downtown, close to everything. Nice backyard though small is ideal for enjoying the day. No complaints at all!! Also, great juice/organic food shop right around the corner! "
776870,46710089,2015-09-13,25722759,Paz,"Our stay at Christopher's place was remarkable! Christopher made us feel entirely welcome & everything was better than promised. Here are a few of the highlights:
+Location is a short Uber ride to 6th Street & UT
+Plenty of room for people to sleep
+natural soaps
+Outstanding books for us to read
+A bit of room outside to play games like S Not
+A ""war room"" w/ a whiteboard to plan out your trip, make calls, have a fantasy draft, etc.
+Plenty of space, we never felt crowded
+Clean kitchen & bathrooms

Everything was wonderful, thank you Christopher!"
776870,51894041,2015-10-25,5524670,Tyler,The house was in good shape. There were more air mattresses than anticipated but it was fine for us. Host was a good communicator.
6303077,42100994,2015-08-10,38964664,Tom,"Carrie and Darren were both very helpful despite my last minute booking! Awesome little house in a great, safe location. The room was very unique and homely. I didn't have transport, so very handy that it was within walking distance to 6th st night life. Would definitely recommend."
6303077,42781796,2015-08-15,36443767,Maggie,"The place is very nice, beautiful house! The location is good, close to downtown and cool places. I 've enjoyed my stay! "
6303077,43699805,2015-08-21,39552086,Devon,"Carrie was out of town and I only crossed paths with Darren once during my stay, but I had a very pleasant experience staying here. The house is very cute, some really interesting photographs and decorations throughout, and the space I stayed in upstairs was great. Very comfortable, extremely private, very well air conditioned in the intense Austin heat. Area wasn't too far from some great things, felt very walkable. "
6303077,45541948,2015-09-03,8594578,Idse,"The house is cool and quirky. The bedroom was clean, the dorm style bathroom less so. The place is walking distance from 6th street, which is nice. Darren was helpful and responsive."
6303077,46001467,2015-09-07,36672843,Brandy,"The apartment was large and in a great location. Two drawbacks, the large upstairs room had no lock so I was apprehensive about leaving anything valuable while I was out for the day. Second is that all rooms in house were occupied and only 1 bathroom made it difficult to schedule shower times. 
"
6303077,46312528,2015-09-09,32628791,Claire,The room was exactly as pictured.  Perfect location for exploring downtown Austin.  The apartment was clean and everything we needed was available.  If you're looking to rent a room for a quick trip this is a great option.  
6303077,46619988,2015-09-12,1239254,Mandy,"Firstly, I will say that if you decide to rent this room in particular, know that it's a (beautifully) converted attic space. I suppose it's obvious from the photos, but it isn't stated, and it didn't really occur to me that the ceilings would be so low. There was an inordinate amount of head bumping going on :).  Beyond that, we really enjoyed our stay. The space was clean, decorated in a way that appeals to us (eccentric and artsy), the bed was *very* comfortable, and the temperature upstairs was perfect. I also appreciate that even though it was a last minute request, Carrie allowed me to bring my tiny, well-behaved dog. Darren was even kind of enough to walk him for us while we were out! All in all, we'd definitely book again, although we'd likely choose the downstairs room. "
6303077,48422529,2015-09-26,27077910,Robert,Very nice room!
6303077,50614340,2015-10-13,19538092,Michael,Carrie could not have made for a better ACL experience for us. Everything was perfect
6303077,52736552,2015-11-01,2451337,Michael,Carrie ROCKED IT!  She and the room were everything I expected.  Very comfy bed! Clean and functional.  Thanks Carrie.
365591,3764396,2013-03-12,1217640,Kristin,"In the words of my Co-workers  (that I booked Joan's house for) upon arrival ----

"" This place is Awesome!!!""

also super convenient to get to downtown. :)

would definitely book here again

Thanks Joan!!!!!!

"
365591,4353681,2013-04-29,5993484,Rimma,"We had a wonderful time at Joan and Tamara's place! The hosts were very easy to work with and the home fit 6 adults quite comfortably and was very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all the necessities from extra towels to an iron to hair dryers to kitchen gadgets. We particularly liked the master bedroom suite and the beautiful deck. At first we were a little nervous about the neighborhood...we passed a few sketchy looking streets on the way there, but the home itself is tucked away in a little pocket of well-maintained, new construction houses and we felt perfectly secure once there (being able to park one of the cars in the garage was very helpful as well!)   We would definitely stay here again."
365591,8783027,2013-11-18,5324551,Therese,"This place is spacious and comfortable, with an excellent rooftop patio.  We found the location to be very convenient - a short drive or bus ride to downtown and a short walk to the commuter rail station.  Would definitely recommend this spot! "
365591,9986688,2014-01-23,7240363,Ian,Joan (and Tamara's) place was perfect for our trip to Austin!  It is very well-appointed and the hospitality was truly above and beyond expectations.  The photos do not do the place justice.  We had two couples each with a little one (6 and 18 months) and we couldn't have asked for a better home away from home.  We hope to come back to Austin soon and stay here again!  
365591,28118443,2015-03-18,11241478,Owen,"This is a great place and Joan and Tamara made us feel very welcome. The home is new and modern, open and nice. Two separate bedrooms and full bathrooms (with an additional half bath downstairs) were great. It was quiet, clean and very relaxing. The home has a well equipped, clean, modern kitchen. There are a couple of convenience stores nearby for essentials - and the home was just a few minutes from MLK station. Perfect for our needs and we'd be happy to stay here again in the future.

Great place. Can't imagine better in Austin.

"
365591,28722159,2015-03-29,12850793,Joshua,This location was superb. Exactly as listed in every detail.  Couldnt have been more happy with this location. Will most definitely try to rent this spot for all my austin trips.
365591,29315640,2015-04-06,7741454,Mark,"Joan and her family made the experience very easy and simple.  This was my first Airbnb, and I didn't have any questions with the information provided.   The house was set up for the number of guests we brought, and there were many items and food in the kitchen for us to use.  The neighborhood was easy to get to from downtown, UT, and the airport.  Stop and get an Iced Bennu at Bennu coffee on your way downtown.  

The home was a great loft-like space, well decorated, with great indoor and outdoor space.  We enjoyed being nearby the city, but also having a nice place to hang out.  Plenty of parking on the street. The neighborhood looks like more and more spaces like this are being converted and built.

All together we had a great time for six people.  Joan was a great host and the whole experience was very easy."
365591,29751270,2015-04-12,28825974,Andy,"Had a group of 8 guys in for a Bachelor party weekend visiting Austin from Chicago and Indy. It's an awesome house to escape back to after a day out on the lake and the next night on 6th street. Tamara was nice enough to let us leave as late as we needed on Sunday with a bunch of different flight times, and it's only a 15 minute Ride to the airport and an even shorter ride to downtown. Great location and spacious living area for a group."
365591,30502371,2015-04-23,1632083,Grace,"We had an excellent stay! Really nice townhouse, everything as expected. Very clean and extremely well stocked with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We were out and about most of the trip but this would be a great place for a family that would have more downtime and the need to cook at home. Tamara (Joan's daughter) was very easy to communicate with, absolutely no issues with check-in/check-out and she left us a bunch of snacks and wine which was very thoughtful. Would definitely recommend this property and will stay again! For future guests - we used Uber while here which was convenient and relatively cheap. that being said, theres not too much within walking distance so i would consider renting a car if you want to fully explore the Austin area. "
365591,30695771,2015-04-26,29941146,Christina,"The house is exactly as pictured and is beautiful.  The house came complete with a nice welcome basket of bagels and muffins.  The location is great, with downtown Austin just a 10 minute cab ride away.  I really enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend.  "
365591,33233518,2015-05-26,13859010,Farid,"We absolutely loved staying here.  The house is immaculate, clean and beautifully decorated.  We were greeted with a beautiful welcome basket filled with goodies and a bottle of wine; just what we needed after our long flight.  The kitchen was packed with all the necessary supplies and the fridge with all the basic necessities.  The ultra modern design is really fresh and comforting.  The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable,  beautifully designed and decorated.  Although it rained the entire time during our 4 day stay,  there is a beautiful outdoor seating area on the second floor, off the master bedroom that is gorgeous and perfect for cook out and gathering. This house is a gem and the owners Joan and her daughter Tamara made sure that our stay was fun and relaxing.    Thank you so much for letting us rent your beautiful home, and we really hope we can stay at your place again the next time we visit family in Austin.   Cheers"
365591,41123082,2015-08-04,31112890,Aaron,"This was a really nice place to stay! Tamara was great in communicating before the stay and during. I will say that it doesn't have 4 beds, it has two rooms two beds and two air mattresses that are set up in the living room. So guest that were staying with me didn't really have any privacy as they were in the living room sleeping. There is a bathroom downstairs but no shower with it, so people staying downstairs have to go up and intrude on someone else's room/privacy to take a shower. 
All in all, it's a great house, really nice and big! Great kitchen and bbq grill! "
365591,46020239,2015-09-07,41754058,Peter,"This house was perfect for a getaway in Austin! We were a group of 5  who went down for the lake and night life. The house was a quick drive from it all. Tamara was great keeping communication through the entire stay and also had a cute little welcome basket for us with some local brew and snacks. Clean and comfortable place, would definitely stay there again! "
365591,48551791,2015-09-27,41415484,Ashley,"This space is amazing! We all had plenty of room, and enjoyed ourselves greatly. The host was super accommodating with check in and out times! The gift basket was such a thoughtful idea. We couldn't get over how perfect the location was to downtown! The house really made the trip to Austin memorable. Thank you so much for everything! "
365591,49464303,2015-10-04,29241101,Derek,Joan's place is really great. It's in a good suburban location close to lots of destinations and restraints. We are spoke with Tamara during our stay and everything was perfect. She setup 2 airbeds for us as we were a large group and provided us with a goodie basket! Check-in and check-out was super convenient as well and the roof deck is amazing! Would love to stay here again!
365591,52070015,2015-10-26,5306293,Cristina,Tamara was really sweet and helpful. We arrived late at night and she got everything ready for us to get inside the house. A sweet note was waiting for us and some snacks and cold beer in the refrigerator. What a great welcome! Joan has a beautiful house. We loved every single thing. All cleaned and organized for our arrival. Thank you!!!!
365591,52752667,2015-11-01,21022399,Grace,"This was such a great choice for our group of 6. Hands down my favorite Airbnb I've stayed at so far in Austin (out of 5!). Tamara was a great host that was always fast to respond and was extremely flexible with check in and out times. Her home is very spacious and open and has everything you need from hairdryer, iron and all the kitchen tools you may or may not need. There was flooding during the first night of our stay but felt at home with fireplace, comfortable couch and TV that has Hulu, Netflix, Pandora, YouTube, etc. Once the sun came out we were able to enjoy their rooftop patio with enough seating for everyone. Plenty of street parking and easy access by car to all the area of Austin that were on our to-do list. Thank you, Tamara!"
2918176,28334415,2015-03-22,28165643,Rupert,"The communication from TurnKey prior to the booking was good. Efficient and accurate. We were booked for 5 nights. 
Access on arrival was easy - the keypad and code worked. The apartment itself was  very clean, well specified and thought had clearly gone into making guests feel at home. A very nice place to stay. 
However one serious issue arose. 
On arrival to the apartment we noticed the front door did not lock securely. The safe also did not work. This was highlighted to TurnKey later that evening on Monday. Assurances were given it would be addressed - particularly the front door which we tried to impress the concerns about. 
However what followed over the next few days was poor. 
Unreturned phone calls, no answer at the TurnKey number, no response to emails and lack of updates. In all a very poor show indeed.
The door did not lock securely until Thursday, so 3 days and nights were spent concerned for our safety over night, and concerned for our possessions when we were out of the apartment. It resulted in us changing our plans to stay more local to the apartment, and missing a number of events further afield we had organised. 
Finally we were locked out of our apartment on the day of our departure: our bags were inside the apartment and the key code no longer worked. At least we managed to get through on the phone this time (after 20 mins of holding on the phone) and gained access to the apartment in time to get to the airport. 

It should have been very simple to organise the fixing of the door within one business day - however busy they were. It was a serious safety situation and the business should have been able to deal with it. 
I am leaving this review, as the service from TurnKey needs to be highlighted. It was terrible, and a real shame for the owners of the property - who have a very nice home and clearly have put a lot of thought into the property. 
We have raised our concerns and requested a partial refund of the very high premium we paid for this apartment and the service. We will see what Air BnB decide as we have put it into their hands now. . . . 

It is a 5 star apartment, but as the review is for TurnKey and their service -  1 star. 

"
2918176,28655530,2015-03-28,27710529,Barry,"The apartment was clean and very comfortable. It's in an excellent location, a short walk to good restaurants, Whole Foods, Waterloo Records, etc. and a short drive to Barton Springs/Zilker Park and other locations of interest.  We had no contact with the owner but that was fine as we know the area well and didn't need recommendations and if someone does want that the rental agent sent an email with recommendations and there were maps and brochures in the unit. The rental agent also sent an email right after we got in checking to make sure everything was okay, which it was. I would definitely stay here again. "
2918176,28847371,2015-03-30,29943235,Jacob,"We definitely got what we expected...great location, clean and comfortable accommodations.  Would have been five stars if we didn't have to check out at 10am...  Getting the group up and out after a long Saturday night was not exactly easy, but we still had a great time.  "
2918176,34046025,2015-06-03,34873603,Stuart,The host canceled this reservation 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2918176,34556381,2015-06-09,9319158,Ashleigh,"I had a great experience at this condo! There were four of us (two couples) and plenty of room! I loved having a bathroom downstairs too. The AC was ice cold, kitchen was beautiful, and the beds were comfy! There were extra towels in the upstairs closet which was helpful too. I loved having the washer and dryer in the unit as well. We spent one night cooking in, and the rest we went out to eat. It was great being able to walk everywhere downtown to eat. First thing we did was walk to whole foods and get a few groceries! Thanks for everything! "
2918176,36551977,2015-06-29,17333621,Matthew,Great location. Home felt very comfortable. Everything we needed was included. 
2918176,44377393,2015-08-25,41466547,Narda,"The place was very nicely appointed.   We were within walking distance of almost everything.  When not, Uber was a short $5.00 ride away.  We were on 6th St which made it easy to get to the restaurants and bars.   My daughter and son in law were in from NC and they really enjoyed downtown Austin."

973313,3824308,2013-03-18,5272115,Susmita,"We had a great experience in Austin and Craig's place was perfect for my friend and I.  We didn't spend much time in the place but the proximity to the bus and to downtown was great especially since we were in town for SXSW.  Craig was a very generous host and picked us up from the airport and even woke up to drop us off at the airport at 5am the day we were leaving.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone going to Austin, especially if for one of the amazing festivals that are always going on!"
973313,10919291,2014-03-13,1405148,Katie,Craig was a wonderful host! He was always on top of making sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was clean and comfortable. It was also really close to SXSW and the bikes he provided were a perfect compliment to our festival experience! 
973313,11055136,2014-03-18,12195390,Ellyn,"Craig was an awesome host. I stayed with friends for a couple of days before checking in to his place for SXSW, and he drove all the way to the north side of Austin to pick me up and help me get settled. He was always very available by phone and text to give me food suggestions and the like.

The place itself was fairly basic, but perfect for what I needed. It was clean, comfortable and more than enough room for one person (though it would also be comfortable for 2-4 people willing to bunk up together). 

The bus was super close by, making it easy to get to downtown (only $1 for one way, $2 for a day pass). The bikes were also helpful, though they're simple cruisers without gear shifts, so it was a bit of extra work going uphill. Still, way better than getting a cab! A couple of days I chose to walk into town even, because it was so nice outside (I'm from the cold Midwest, the sunshine was welcome), and that only took about 30 minutes or so, which really didn't feel bad at all. 

In all, it was an extremely positive experience. I would (and probably will) stay at Craig's place again. "
973313,28120799,2015-03-18,7387667,Laura,"The apartment was cozy but surprisingly spacious. The locks are all code-based, so getting in and out was easy. The bathroom is very small, so plan accordingly. I never met Craig, but he was very accommodating and helpful over the phone. When I asked for an extra blanket, a brand new one appeared in the apartment that evening. The apartment is just outside of downtown, but it still takes about 45 minutes to walk there, and I'm not sure I would have been comfortable walking home in the dark. Not that it's a crummy neighborhood, but it's in a fringe area and located on a wide road near a busy intersection. It's very convenient with a car, though - plenty of parking space in the driveway."
973313,28332426,2015-03-22,28515744,Kevin,Craig's place was clean and conveniently located close to downtown which made transportation easy.  He communicated with me via email about checkout time which worked perfect.  Highly recommended.
973313,37254213,2015-07-05,31810367,Christine,"Craig's was a awesome place to stay on our trip to Austin. Though we only met Craig briefly, he was  always readily available  to promptly answer any questions we had over text. 
The place is a  very bright, colourful, and clean space with lots of room for 2 people to hang. The music playing in the room when we walked in made it feel very welcoming, and the guitar made it feel like home.
 Location is great,  close to everything we wanted to do and see.  The yard was quiet and secluded at night, making it a nice spot sit in the evening and listen to the crickets chips.
I defiantly recommend this place to anyone coming to Austin, Craig you helped make our 1st Airbnb experience a great one! Thank you!
"
973313,37929303,2015-07-11,21982395,Aisling,"We had an awesome stay at Craig's. He was very accommodating and accepted our booking request last minute. The garage is very spacious and has everything you need. We made use of the free bikes and the bike path along the river, which is nearby. Highly recommended, this is a great airbnb. "
973313,39086068,2015-07-20,31826221,Jeremy,"Craig's garage studio apartment was wonderful. It's well-located, spacious, and very cozy. The place was nicely furnished and had been professionally cleaned before our arrival. Craig was extremely responsive to communication and came across as a highly professional AirBnB host. You can tell he has experience managing AirBnB short-term rentals and knows exactly what people will need to have an enjoyable stay."
973313,39995929,2015-07-27,37920481,Jacob,"Craig was an awesome host. He made checking in and checking out a easy process. The studio was really homey. As soon as you walk in you felt like you were home. I loved how open the layout was. It was really big for being a former garage.The location was pretty much perfect for us, because everything we went to was within a 10 min distance. We couldn't have asked for a better place. We would most definitely stay at this location again, and I'll for sure be telling people about it."
973313,40978150,2015-08-03,38407320,Kevin,"Fantastic location, had everything you needed for a short or long stay. Craig was easy to contact and had us up to date with all the info we needed before we even got to Austin. The bike access was an added bonus"
973313,41824491,2015-08-09,7565881,Conor,Craig's place was great and Craig was an excellent host. Told us some good spots around town and was always accommodating. House is in swaglord location. Highly recommended. 
973313,43395137,2015-08-19,33288296,Kate,This place is awesome! Very private and an awesome location. The bikes made our stay perfect. Would definitely return. 
973313,43856604,2015-08-22,21703269,Rafe,"Craig was an extremely excellent host! Unfortunately we did not have the opportunity to meet him, but everything was provided for us whenever we need it, and Craig was always there to answer our questions. Great and clean space!"
973313,44144293,2015-08-24,423429,Abby,Craig's garage studio was simple and easy for our short stay in Austin. The bikes were awesome and we used these to get to Barton Springs which is a must in the summer. Having access to the washing machine was very handy and the space was a great size for 2 people. 
973313,45674723,2015-09-05,6549392,Stacy,We really enjoyed our stay here. It was very cozy. Music was playing upon arrival. Some drinks were in the fridge. The location was close to downtown and the freeway. We were close to delicious food trucks. The one thing I regret is not having enough time to use the bikes! We would definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin.
973313,45950705,2015-09-07,37042989,Lauren,"This was a great place to stay! Awesome central location and a very comfortable, clean, well maintained space. Craig was very responsive and organized- a great host. Having the bikes available to use was a fun bonus. The AC was a welcome respite from the Texas heat.  I would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Austin!"
973313,46904703,2015-09-14,40320487,Siera,"Craig's place was great! The apartment looked just like the pictures and was very clean. Location couldn't have been better. It was only about a mile or so from downtown and SoCo, as well as Zilker Park. We felt very safe in the neighborhood, even returning back at night. As far as a host, we didn't actually meet Craig. However, he was very accommodating and patient with us, and responded to questions in a very timely manner. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
973313,47516648,2015-09-19,31518340,Jamie,Outstanding stay at Craig's place. Location is great for getting around and the added of bonus of having the bikes with locks made getting around very easy. I would recommend Austin and these digs to anyone planning a trip. Craig himself was also very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. MAGIC !
973313,48695272,2015-09-28,8683099,Natasha,"This place was AWESOME! Everything was so clean, fresh and the accommodations were quaint, like a home away from home. We simply loved the atmosphere, location, and ambiance. Just a short walk away and we were close all the kinds of amenities we had at home. Austin's public transit is great, 20 minutes or less on a bus got us downtown and to the airport.

Craig is a respectful, friendly, and lovely host! Definitely worth staying with him again..."
973313,49598530,2015-10-05,11723977,Steven,"Craig immediately made us feel welcomed and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He was also responded to our questions in a very timely manner and was accommodating. We would definitely recommend staying here!

My girlfriend and loved the place. The listing was very accurate, very clean and looked just liked the pictures. Keyless entry worked out perfect. The bikes that Criag provides were an added bonus.

Location was awesome! We were about a 20 minute bike ride from his place to Zilker Park taking the boardwalk. Also we were just a quick Uber ride to SoCo, Rainey Street, Downtown, and Zilker Park."
973313,50435929,2015-10-12,576746,Christopher,"The place was perfect!  Cozy and comfortable with all the amenities you could want.  The neighborhood felt plenty safe and had basic grocery\shopping needs within walking distance. Less than a $10 ride to Zilkner park or downtown. 

If you have a low car or are in an uber that is low you might not want to try to go in the driveway. The angle go the street is such that a couple of our ubers cars scrapped on the hump."
973313,52850654,2015-11-02,44465052,Devin,Nice chill place.
2412870,28147720,2015-03-18,12486480,Lynn,"I brought my daughter, who is a high school senior, and two of her friends to Austin for a spring break trip and this house in the southwest part of Austin was a great fit for us!  The host was very responsive and helpful, as this was our first trip to Austin.  The location made it easy for us to go grocery shopping as well as get downtown to see the sights.  Internet access was secure and reliable, which was important to us, and the house was clean and comfortable.

We had a great time in Austin, and would definitely stay here if we get a chance to visit Austin again!

5601570,30833094,2015-04-27,1441039,Iris,"We spent a whole week at Ben's place. We enjoyed it very much!
Nice and big bedroom and bathroom. Very comfortable bed. Newly decorated. We especially appreciated the private entrance and sitting place outside.
Great, quiet and safe neighborhood, close to the river. Nice restaurants and bars nearby. Easy access to Downtown Austin.
Ben is a very helpful and easygoing person. He will do his best to make your stay enjoyable.
We highly recommend this place to anybody visiting Austin!

"
5601570,34465633,2015-06-08,33525521,Kendal,Great stay at Ben's place! Close to everything. 
5601570,35055647,2015-06-14,27894270,Alex,"Loved Ben's place! Gorgeous neighborhood with easy access to E 6th street and downtown. Getting into his place through the side entrance was a snap, and the room had a great feel to it. Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to staying here again on any future Austin visits. "
5601570,36469615,2015-06-28,19988493,Joshua,"An absolute gem in Austin. The outside of the home was absolutely gorgeous as was the inside. I loved the garden pathway to the door. The home next door also has a lovely garden going as well as vines growing on the walls which is really lovely to look at. Everything in the room was tidy, clean, and wonderfully decorated. On top of that the host is very fast to respond to messages and is extremely accommodating and helpful in every way. Highly recommended! "
5601570,37234380,2015-07-05,2217149,Victor,Thanks for the stay. 
5601570,38447597,2015-07-15,37727250,Aaron,"Great stay at Ben's place.  I was in town for a week and the location was perfect for access to anything in the city while still quiet and with few distractions.  The space was modern, well kept, and comfortable and I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin."
5601570,39225639,2015-07-21,14844212,Jerry,"Ben was great! He provided us with recommendations to local restaurants and bars. The listing has a private entrance, and Ben would check in on us once in awhile without being intrusive. He made us feel welcomed. The place was very clean and well decorated. The bathroom was really nice. Overall Ben made our first trip to Austin very memorable and comforting. Thank you Ben!"
5601570,40479955,2015-07-31,34990028,Corina,"Ben is an exceptionally responsive and friendly host. Holly 2001 is set in a quiet, yet central spot, East of 35: Just a minute to the bike and hike trail; a great place to go for a run in the morning and some stand up paddling in the evening. Rent a bike and its 10 minutes to vibrant downtown! The perfect retreat and refuel for more ATX action, be it work or play. Thanks, Ben!"
5601570,40811711,2015-08-02,23593957,Jennifer,"Ben was very communicative from start to finish and made the whole process seamless. We never actually met him but he had the whole process set up with door code, WiFi, and other instructions which made it super easy. The room is the size and decor equivalent of a moderate to high end junior suite in a bigger hotel. It is really nicely done, has a very large en suite bathroom, large closet, and mini fridge, microwave, and keureg machine in the room - really everything you need. The place is close to the river and about a 15-minute walk from 6th street restaurant/bar area which was perfect for us. We loved this up and coming neighborhood (Holly) and preferred staying on the east side with access to great off the beaten path cafes and music rather than right downtown but still close to downtown if needed. The closest b-cycle station was .8 mile away and once there we could get just about anywhere in the city in 20 minutes. Highly recommend!"
5601570,41908482,2015-08-09,28859510,Tyler,"Great location, great value, very convenient, and very clean. I'll definitely keep this place in mind next time I visit Austin."
5601570,42489982,2015-08-13,13262918,Glenn,"Ben was a welcoming and communicative host. The apartment was quiet, comfy with a luxurious bathroom. Great location. Hope to stay there again."
5601570,43446515,2015-08-19,30903447,Bryan,"Had my best airbnb experience to date at Ben's place. The space is immaculately decorated, and both the bed and bathroom fixtures were amazing. I particularly enjoyed the glass shower with the rainfall shower-head and the double vanity in the bathroom.  Additionally, the neighborhood is very pretty and convenient to a number of bars and restaurants. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
5601570,43970817,2015-08-23,13492939,Alberto,"The room was very modern and comfortable, it was very clean and it has everything we need! Ben was really helpful and responded quickly to all our questions. "
5601570,45096007,2015-08-31,6074933,Scott,"This was the perfect place: huge living space, ample parking, and close proximity to everything you might want to see. It's in the cool East Austin neighborhood, so that was a bonus.

The room looks as advertised, but is definitely larger than I thought it would be.

Ben was very communicative throughout booking. Thanks, Ben!"
5601570,45598979,2015-09-04,8166212,Karl,"Totally private, totally peaceful, and in a great neighborhood. This will be the first place we check for next time we're in Austin."
5601570,46342140,2015-09-09,39595220,Sarah & Christian,ben's place is better than a hotel! you have your own appartment and full privacy. everything very clean and furnished stylish. the neighborhood is very nice as well and austin is a great city.
5601570,46782420,2015-09-13,42528669,Amanda,"Ben was great host. The unit was easy to get to, parking was on the street, but that too was easy.

Nice apartment unit in the back, lower portion of their East Austin home. Concrete floor, very comfy queen bed, table and two chairs, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, and iron. And the bathroom is wonderful - double sinks, lots of storage if you need it, garden tub, big walk in shower. Huge walk in closet with shelving - plus an assortment of books, games and playing cards. Two comfy chairs to enjoy coffee in - or chair and a table outside on the patio.

The thermostat is controlled on the iPad next to bed, plus you can use that to surf the web and they provide access to wifi. There is also Apple TV for the flat screen TV. Ben was easy to work with on arrival and departure time too.

We would certainly return to this property. Loved the East Austin neighborhood of Holly Street. Super close to downtown, and lots of places to eat at nearby...including Juan in a Million. 

Clean, modern property. Our first Airbnb experience and we loved it - way better than a hotel. Thank you, Ben - you have a wonderful place!! :-)"
5601570,47405263,2015-09-18,19851112,Corinne,"This is a great place to stay! Clean, spacious, and welcoming. The keypad on the private entrance makes for a very easy check-in process. There's also great breakfast taco place right down the street."
5601570,47657160,2015-09-21,4961751,William,"Great stay at Ben's place.  Location is nice and quiet with plenty of parking, easy walk to Rainey Street.  Large room with comfortable bed and everything you need.  Bathroom is amazing, with plenty of hot water.   Ben was very responsive to messages, will definitely look for this space again on my next trip to Austin."
5601570,48573539,2015-09-27,15399045,Sandra,"I enjoyed staying at this cozy studio, and I appreciate that it's very spacious too. Bed is comfy, bathroom is clean and spacious, and the Netflix was a nice touch! Thanks for hosting Ben!"
5601570,49237658,2015-10-02,7531185,Matt,Ben was a great host. The suite was exactly as advertised and it was great. Loved the look of the space and many of the surrounding houses in the neighborhood. An abundance of modern homes. Ben made the check in process and the entire stay very easy. I would highly recommend staying here. 
5601570,49674171,2015-10-05,20908427,Nadya,Ben was a great host.  We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in Austin.  I would recommend this listing to others.
5601570,50082822,2015-10-09,32432748,Marin,"My husband and I had a great stay at Ben's apt. The studio was as nice as its pictures, with a large spacious bathroom and closet and small, private outdoor patio. I stayed the first two nights on my own and the neighborhood was safe and easy to get to and park. Great trail nearby for morning run and close to eastside and downtown restaurants and bars. Ben was very clear and accommodating in communication. I'd highly recommend it and would stay again."
5601570,50447757,2015-10-12,10082852,Becky,We came to Austin for ACL. The house is in a very convenient part of town and had parking available on the street. The room/bathroom was exactly as described - very spacious and comfortable. Check-in was hassle-free and we had a great weekend!
5601570,51144898,2015-10-18,42848340,Linda,"BRING ANY ESSENTIALS...don't expect it!     ok...I stayed there in this AIRBNB for a huge event, my daughter was married at the Palm Door in downtown Austin and everything for the weekend was spectacular. Most people stayed at the Hilton, (where the bride & groomed stayed) but I wanted to spend more money on her gift and I knew I would only be there to shower and sleep (which was a little :) ).  For the most part, it was as described as what the pics showed...however, I didn't bring any body soap of any kind and there was Body Lotion in the shower.(no body soap)..I only showered there once and showered @ the hotel after that surprising situation.  Then I was unable to get the TV to work at all.  I tried texting the host and never got a reply.  I think there should maybe be a little direction on that...I just like to have TV on when I am away from home.  .....I did have my chromebook and beats speaker...so I just listened to music.   The outside grass was grown over the little stepping stones and that wasn't very appealing....no other essentials at this place, no kleenex, no plasticware, I brought a bottle of wine, no cups of any kind...nothing other than towels, toilet paper, hand soap, 3 bottles of water I think were in the frig,. you need everything!....oh...and if you like coffee, that was there, I drink ice tea....but that's just a personal preference...Bed was very comfortable!  I think I shopped around and assumed too much from this place,I am learning what is important in AIRBNB's. Next time I will be sure and book somewhere they have lots of amenities such as soap!
Definitely not a good first time AIRBNB experience.  I know I will do it again, just more cautiously.  UBER'S are great in AUSTIN!

5601570,51465544,2015-10-20,13333010,Steven,"First class. The pad is even sweeter than it looks in the photos. Keypad access easy and convenient. Great location a mile from downtown. Ben is a nice guy and helpful. Couldn't ask for more, would recommend to anyone"
5601570,51758280,2015-10-24,42528669,Amanda,"Second stay there. Ben is a great host, very flexible and responsive. Wonderful room and bathroom with private entrance and patio. Trendy neighborhood, close to UT and downtown."
5601570,51934925,2015-10-25,19437191,Sarah,"This was a great apt for our weekend in Austin- clean, nice shower, good comfy bed.  We were able to walk to the Rainey Street area- it was pretty close.  Took an easy 5 minute Uber to 6th Street.  The neighborhood was quiet, cute little bungalow houses- we felt very safe walking.  Host provided shower essentials, there is a ceiling fan, good AC and Apple TV.  I would recommend!"
5601570,52614177,2015-10-31,6707347,Sam,"Great, quiet and comfortable spot with very easy access to downtown. Ben was very responsive to every question."
5601570,53188982,2015-11-06,12728025,Nicky,Great stay in a comfortable quaint room. Ben left us the code to our room and instructions for the wifi and Apple TV. Lovely large bathroom and a nice patio to enjoy morning coffee -- overall a terrific experience!
2226950,13723467,2014-06-02,2642060,David,"Michael and his wife Irene were truly fantastic hosts!  They were around and willing to provide invaluable advice for Austin restaurants and neighborhoods, balancing that with flexibility to come and go whenever.

The house is in a fantastic location.  It's away from downtown, right by the enormous Zilker Park (good for Blues in the Park on Wednesday evenings, walks, runs, and bike rides), and the beautiful Barton Springs (a must in the summer!).

This is a real gem!"
2226950,18862255,2014-09-01,3814726,Verena,"Irene and Michael were very sweet, they were always there to answer my many questions, giving directions and suggestions on what to do. Their knowledge about Austin and Texas was very valuable and their big library helped to, guidebooks, maps, everything was there. The place is right across from Barton Springs and a bike rental is close by. Perfect location, close to downtown but very quiet and surrounded by nature. There is a small grocery store a block away but I got coffee and breakfast from Michael and Irene, which was a plus I had not expected. The apartment is more than just clean and I slept very well. I would definitely return and I can't recommend Michael and Irene highly enough! "
2226950,20705196,2014-10-04,8534629,Gretchen,"Michael and Irene were great hosts - very nice and welcoming.  The location of their place was ideal for ACL, but would also be a great location for just a weekend stay in Austin.  It's a very short walk to Zilker park, and therefore also close to downtown (for those checking out 6th street!).  This spot couldn't have been more perfect for our overnight stay in Austin.  Thanks for having us!"
2226950,20812953,2014-10-06,8086887,Jordan,"The bedroom was fantastic and Michael and his wife were extremely courteous. They made sure I had everything I needed and were great about making suggestions about the local area. I was there for ACL so having a parking place was a huge plus considering how close to the Zilker park we were. Wish I had more time to explore Barton Springs which is 100 yards form their place. Very clean, comfortable bed and quiet too. "
2226950,21120725,2014-10-12,436634,Dominique,Michael and Irene were lovely hosts. Their home is directly across the street from Zilker Park. It was the perfect location for ACL or any trip into Austin. I just wish we had brought our bathing suits to swim in Barton Springs. I would recommend staying at this lovely little sanctuary and bringing bikes :)
2226950,22164941,2014-10-31,3332537,Xavier,"Very welcoming stay w/ Michael & Irene. Lovely space, a very friendly cat and some of the most comfortable floors you'll ever walk on. I was in town for Austin FF and didn't get a chance to chat with Michael & Irene as I would've liked, but they're GREAT people with a lovely home and I'll definitely look for their listing next time I'm in Austin!  

Also ... Those are real books in that picture, not wallpaper! Definitely take a gander, very interesting reads! 

"
2226950,22380889,2014-11-04,16569709,Chauncey,"Our stay in Austin with Michael and Irene was excellent. It was Halloween when we got in to town so it was a really good time to come. Really nice being so close to town but then could wake up in the morning and go for a hike along the creek line which was amazing. Really enjoyed the house, Michael and Irene where so nice and always came up with some helpful recommendations of what to do, where to go."
2226950,22526029,2014-11-09,8300303,Madeleine,"Michael and Irene are accommodating, well-organized, and incredibly friendly hosts! Michael patiently waited for us on the evening we arrived, even though we were five hours late due to I-35 traffic throughout north and central Texas. They gave us snacks and prepared us breakfast both mornings of our stay, and also provided us with book recommendations.  The apartment itself is in an idyllic setting across the street from Ladybird Lake Trail, and less than a five-minute bike ride from Zilker Park and Butler Hike & Bike Trail (which connects Zilker to Town Lake and downtown).  This was my best AirBNB experience yet.  We will definitely be back to on future visits to Austin."
2226950,25243450,2015-01-10,24973454,Evelyn,"I planned a last minute trip to Austin for an event in the near-by park and Michael's home was perfect! The room presents better than the photo. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. The common area was fresh and modern. Michael and Irene were very accommodating. It was nice that they prepped the coffee for the am the night before. I did not rent a car, so wanted to be able to walk to the basics. There is a market/deli a few blocks away and there are restaurants near-by. Kitty was pretty friendly, which I enjoyed. Overall, worked out great! "
2226950,26299655,2015-02-09,11661760,Andra,"Michael and Irene were very welcoming. Their home is tranquil and very modern, in an upscale neighborhood with an unbeatable location.  The picture provided does not do justice to the Tobis home.  Right across the street is access to the Zilker Park walking trail, and you can meet many fit Austinites along the trail way. A 45 minute walk will take you across the Pedestrian Bridge to the downtown. My hosts were friendly and knowledgeable about Austin, and I enjoyed browsing through the library of books about Austin/Texas.  My double bed and private bath were very comfortable. Upon arrival I was given a plush bathrobe to use as a guest. This was my first Airbnb experience and it was very positive, I would like to return to this Airbnb again.  Thank you, Michael and Irene!"
2226950,28119992,2015-03-18,12181571,Patrick,"I came to Austin to attend a technology conference and found Michael & Irene's place to be the perfect spot to call my home during this event. Their house is ideally located next to Zilker park to walk, unwind and possibly swim at Barton Springs after a busy day. The neighborhood is a quiet/peaceful one where you can easily bike to the downtown in 5-10 minutes, do your groceries around the block or grab a bite in one of the diners or restaurants nearby. 

My room was very spacious with a comfortable 2 person bed, book shelves full of interesting books to read and a desk to work/plan from. The towels and bathrobe (!) provided where luxourious perks alongside the private bathroom that I could use as a guest. My hosts where very welcoming, knowledgable about many things (great conversations) and provided great coffee with authentic Texas breakfasts in the morning. 

Simply put, amazing! I'll definiately would stay again when in Austin. Thank you."
2226950,28253315,2015-03-21,9193081,Ashish,"place is great and clean, Michael is fantastic, location is the best! basic toiletries were provided. "
2226950,32623925,2015-05-19,5819304,John,"My stay was fantastic! Michael and Irene were extremely nice and helpful, and I appreciated their recommendations. The room was very clean, comfortable, nice, and orderly. Being right next to the park allowed for wonderful morning and evening walks. I am vegan, and they even had a recently-published book on vegan places in Austin, an added bonus. I highly recommend staying here."
2226950,32939525,2015-05-23,23029720,Sarie,Michael and Irene were wonderful hosts! They have a lovely apartment in a great location. I would definitely recommend staying with them.
2226950,33183081,2015-05-25,33589679,Matthew,"Wonderful host! Very friendly and everything was better than what was listed. Pictures do not do this place justice. Made us a delicious breakfast on our last day. Irene and Michael were very nice and gave us our space when we wanted it. If you need somewhere to stay, stay here. "
2226950,36787942,2015-07-01,21182989,Anne-Marie,"Michael and Irene were wonderful hosts. Their location is amazing: so close to the Barton Spring Pool, just a few steps! The house is impeccably clean, with more than what you need. It is also very quiet so we could get all the sleep we needed. It is very comfortable and welcoming.

They know a lot about Texas and are willing to share their tips and stories about the place. It was great to spend time with them! They definitely made our trip to Austin better than we expected! "
2226950,37025199,2015-07-03,21182989,Anne-Marie,P.s. Our stay was so great that we extended it! 
2226950,42338103,2015-08-12,40336566,Layla,"My boyfriend and I stayed with Michael and Irene for a week and absolutely  loved it! They are so kind and they really make your stay very enjoyable and pleasant. They have a beautiful and cozy home to boot! Of course, the best part of staying there was the location. It cannot be beat! We loved walking across the street to enjoy Barton Springs and Zilker Park. Driving into the city was a breeze as well. There are many amazing restaurants and activities close by that we took full advantage of. It was so nice to stay somewhere as lovely as their home and to feel safe as well. It was much better than staying in a hotel, which we had previously booked. I'm so glad we changed our mind. We highly recommend staying here. We had such an amazing Austin experience!"
2226950,43110488,2015-08-17,4270102,Den,"Michael and Irene are great and experienced hosts. They know everything about Austin and very pleasant to chat with. We had no problems but only positive emotions staying at their place. 

The description is right and comfort (bed, A/C, keyless door and kitchen) are top notch. 

Neighborhood is quite and 3 mins away from Barton Springs. Uber picks you up in 3 mins from there. They even have a parking spot for your car.

Thank you for having us and especially for breakfast tacos!"
2226950,49585579,2015-10-05,10513757,Varun,"Michael and Irene are as wonderful os hosts as you can imagine. They are welcoming, caring and go above and beyond.
The apartment is beautiful (pics do not do it justice), they provide light  breakfast as well(which is great) and make you feel very welcome.

Plus, the location is  fantastic. 

Overall, Very highly recommended! 5.5 Stars out of 5.This is better than Four Seasons."
2226950,49993463,2015-10-08,32277431,Karen,"We had a great time in Austin and Michael was around if we had any questions.  Barton Springs is the perfect place to be and Michael and Irene are generous hosts. The bed is very comfortable, they have a great book collection in case Austin bores you.... They had set aside room in their refrigerator for us and supplied coffee as well as some bath robes for our use. Highly recommended."
2226950,50267015,2015-10-11,26186194,Candace,"Michael and Irene were wonderful hosts! Unfortunately, I didn't get to see them very much as I was out and about most of the time, but I felt very welcome and they were quite helpful making sure I had everything I needed. The neighborhood was lovely and within a five minute walk to Zilker Park and tons of restaurants which was perfect. My stay was fantastic!"
2226950,51344627,2015-10-19,9285330,Dillon,"Michael and Irene were wonderful hosts.  I had the pleasure of conversing with them on a wide variety of topics!  The location is perfect, next to Barton Springs.  Their space is newly remodeled and is very nice.  I would highly recommend staying with them."
2226950,52546462,2015-10-30,6721917,Luis,Super hosts! they will make you feel at home. very discreet and helpful
8289444,48037067,2015-09-22,43898524,Levon,John was very professional to deal with and everything in the house was just as described.  
8289444,48795616,2015-09-28,1445272,Henry,"We had a wonderful stay at John's place.  This is a charming East Austin bungalow that's been updated and very nicely furnished but still retains some of the character of the original home.  The location is excellent and just blocks away or short drive from some of the best food, drinks, coffee, and tacos you'll find in Austin.  The house is also a few streets north of Town Lake, which is simply awesome for avid runners like myself but also makes for a nice evening or morning strolls.  Though we didn't take advantage of it on this trip, there's a gas grill and small outdoor seating area in the back of the property.  

Coordinating our stay with John was very pleasant and getting access to the house and checking out was easy and convenient.  The house has a fenced in parking space in the back, but we opted for street parking because it's easier and parking was plentiful.  I'm pretty familiar with Austin and was visiting friends but John's visitor packet that would have made a great starting point for folks who don't know Austin as well.  

I would absolutely stay there again and can only cross my fingers that the house is available next time I'm in town.  "
8289444,50098737,2015-10-09,24411970,Laura,"John and Kayla's place is beautiful and far surpassed my expectations (and for the record, I had high expectations!).  The place is very well situated, with tons of restaurants and bars within a 5 min walk and downtown/6th street a 15min walk.  The home has tons of character but has been beautifully remodelled and decorated. They're very considerate of guests and have provided everything you could possibly need.... Coffee, cooking utensils, shampoo, soap etc. I was almost more comfortable here than in my own home.... Wow what a great rental! Thank to John and Kayla for everything!!!"
8289444,50502747,2015-10-12,4673561,Melissa,Lovely lovely bungalow - exactly as pictured.  John was so receptive and really worked with us to make our stay perfect.  We even got married during our stay! I highly recommend the East Side Gorgeous Bungalow - great part of town too. 
8289444,51314674,2015-10-19,44114880,Katherine,We had a wonderful stay at John's house and would recommend it without hesitation. It was very clean and comfortable with everything you need for a home away from home provided. Its also situated in a fantastic location. 
3343508,33328905,2015-05-26,20566684,Samantha,"One of our best trips yet! This apartment was in the absolute best location! Close to everything and about 2 minutes out of the heart of downtown, this location was hands down the best, so close to amazing restaurants and the parks! Rachel was an amazing host and offered a lot of great info on the town! If you're coming to stay in Austin, stay here! Thank you Rachel!!"
3343508,49847285,2015-10-06,45284299,Bailey,We felt right at home! From the decorations to the comfy bed! It was an incredible experience! The little treats she left us made it even more incredible! Thanks again!
3343508,51397184,2015-10-19,46465781,Frhn,The place was great!  It was in an amazing location that was close to everything in Austin. I would definitely recommend the place! 
3958601,20913886,2014-10-07,9452213,Danielle,"
Excellent house and wonderful host. Everything was just as explained and pictures if not better. Certainly a great spot for a getaway with friends and close to the downtown nightlife. "
3958601,27056033,2015-02-24,1353117,Becky,"Brooke was quick to respond to emails & request. 

Mellow Yellow is cute and in a great neighborhood easy to get everywhere we needed! "
3958601,28783402,2015-03-30,26328885,Dennis,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was excellent. Brooke walked me through the process, both responsively and responsibly. The home was ideal and exactly as advertised. The entire stay was a pleasure and I hope all future airbnb engagements will be as good."
8106001,47307028,2015-09-17,6507304,Declan,Excellent condo. Superb condition inside. Great location 
8106001,47822239,2015-09-21,43580377,Allison,"Great location with a lot of restaurants and businesses within walking distance and downstairs from condo.  A few blocks from Lamar where there is a great bookstore, stores, Whole Foods and more restaurants. Apartment was very clean and comfortable. Full kitchen with granite counter tops and washer and dryer. Clean linens and comfortable bed. Big porch with view of 5th street. The amenities such as the gym was a plus.  Check in and check out was prompt and efficient. We recommend this place!"
8106001,49645994,2015-10-05,21459677,Manoj,"Great stay overall. Jorge was extremely flexible with my arrival and getting set up in general. The local worked well, too (I was in town for ACL) and the apartment itself was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again."
8106001,50474586,2015-10-12,18826902,Josh,"Jorge was great.  Met us right when we wanted.  Very flexible on check-in and check-out which helped us greatly.  The place was actually a little nicer than I expected from pictures.  Very close to Zilker - ACL (about 20 min. walk) which is what we also liked given we were attending ACL.  The only downside is you're right next to the railroad tracks and trains come through fairly regularly - which is nice at night, but kind of loud in the morning.  However, we brought earplugs and were fine to sleep in.  Overall, really enjoyable place to stay - clean and all the amenities."
8106001,51721312,2015-10-24,42525385,Patrick,Jorge was very easy to get a hold of and made everything very easy.  The location is great and the place is exactly as advertise.
2967072,13332213,2014-05-25,280681,Michele,"1. Mitch isa great host - very responsive, and helpful, and always has good advice about what to do and more importantly where to eat in Austin!
2. House is amazing! Super clean, really modern, v. comfortable and cool!
3. Neighborhood is a little gem, up and coming but very cool and very accessible to soco and downtown, although east austin should definitely be explored as well. 

We only stayed one night but would have happily stayed much longer! Highly recommended."
2967072,14651643,2014-06-23,16637526,Praveen,"Me and my friends stumbled upon this gem of a house while trying to find a last minute place to stay in Austin for our friend's wedding. Not only was the house every bit as awesome as the pictures on the listing, but Mitch was an incredible host. He offered to buy us groceries, he bought a coffee maker and coffee grinder upon our request, and he offered up his beautiful Peugeot bike for us to use (although we didn't have time to use it!). All in all it was a great weekend in Austin only made better by having a wonderful place to stay. "
2967072,15159574,2014-07-03,1132624,Stephanie,Mitch was an extremely gracious host and his place is a pretty amazing find. Thanks for letting us film there! We are definitely going to keep it in mind for future shoots. 
2967072,15349306,2014-07-07,2893988,Gaby,"Mitch's place was wonderful.  The house is amazing real modern super clean really comfortable, The house looks just like the pictures and was everything and more we could have imagined!!! I will definitely stay at Mitch's place again.  He was very nice and gracious he was great at keeping in contact  .....the house is close to bars and restaurants and a few minutes away from downtown and all the cool spots, there were plenty of food options!! I can't say enough positive things about his place I will definitely recommend it to all my friends... Thanks Mitch ;D"
2967072,15693130,2014-07-14,16480915,Kristen,Mitch was very accommodating and the house was absolutely beautiful. He offered to give me suggestions of what to do/where to go. The house was close to everything.  I booked the house for a bachelorette party and couldn't ask for a better spot/host. We had a little booboo at the house and Mitch was very understanding and professional about the whole thing. I highly recommend Mitch and his home. 
2967072,16142922,2014-07-22,15735638,Justin,The house was a very nice house. There was plenty of space for 7 people and plenty of parking space for three cars. The location was great as well as we were close to some good eating places in the immediate area and taking a cab to 6th street and Rainey Street didn't take long at all.
2967072,18556748,2014-08-28,18764769,Radovan,"We enjoy being in the Mitch's house and the place has all facilities. The place is  new, clean and very nice decorated. We fully recommend it.  The house is well located close to downtown. Mitch is a great host. "
2967072,18840000,2014-09-01,11343376,Karla,"The house: really nice and modern and centrally located. It was a $20 lyft ride to west 6th street and a 15 minute ride to Lake Austin. Equipped with everything that you'd need (towels, shampoo, soap, washer/dryer, sound system, Apple TV)

Sleeping arrangements: There's a king size bed in the master bedroom, another bedroom with a queen or full size, a studio with a leather futon (my friends that slept here said it was really uncomfortable), a couch in the living room and an air mattress. I slept on the king size so no complaints here :)

Extra expense: There is a 15% tax that the host charges separately. Be aware of this when planning your budget.

The host: Mitch responded quickly, answered all our questions and sent all the information we needed for the house. He also followed up after to see how our stay had been. 

Overall we had a great experience and did our best to keep Austin weird."
2967072,20234432,2014-09-26,19481733,Tristan,"Great Host Great House!! Mitch was super friendly and helpful, Austin is A great town."
2967072,20818652,2014-10-06,14849728,Chelsea,"This was an amazing house for our Austin trip! I'm seriously glad we found it given the demand for the weekend. It was the perfect launching pad for our group hitting up ACL. It was a little further from the downtown area than we thought it would be, but the cab rides really weren't bad. I wouldn't recommend trying to walk it, especially at night since the area is fairly transitional. I would suggest you budget for only 1 sleeping on the futon though if you're thinking of that as the third bedroom. The futon is just as small as Mitch suggests. Ha! But truly, seriously recommend this place! "
2967072,21204312,2014-10-13,1148860,Corey,"Really cool house located near East 6th Street in Austin. We were able to Uber to some awesome bars - only 3-4 minutes by car. We stayed during the ACL music festival, and the house was about 20 minutes from Zilker Park where the festival was held. 

The house is modern and really neat - it slept 4 comfortably in two rooms, and there was a futon / air mattress in a third room that 2 others slept on. 

Please note that there is at 15% City of Austin hospitality tax that is charged, keep this in mind when budgeting your trip. 

Mitch was very responsive and helpful. We had a great time!"
2967072,22243291,2014-11-02,21398554,Kamran,"The house was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The location was very close to the fun neighborhoods. Most importantly, the place was exactly as advertised. Mitch was very accommodating and I would recommend this house!"
2967072,22523814,2014-11-09,21061320,Angie,"The house was absolutely beautiful, and Mitch was an excellent host. We had a great getaway in Austin with 6 girls, and look forward to coming back in the future!"
2967072,26188694,2015-02-06,26400077,Phil,"Was very happy with the house,  such nice features. Was very cold at first and tried to work heating but didn't work, called Mitch and he said he would fix and did so within an hour. He also waived the city tax which was a great gesture. Everything was perfect after that. He gave us some good tips for Jazz bars etc and his house you'll absolutely love. Much better than any hotel in Austin from my own research. Cheers "
2967072,47821816,2015-09-21,30077374,Kanwar,"Amazing place, excellent host! Could not have asked more from a weekend in Austin. He also gives great bbq recommendations. I won't post his spot here so it doesn't blow up with long lines."
2967072,48895310,2015-09-29,6978544,Jennifer,"Mitch was fantastic to coordinate with, very responsive and helpful! The house is beautiful, spacious and clean with great amenities; it felt like being home but in a much cooler space and city. The location of the house is great as everything is a quick uber ride away!"
2967072,49726776,2015-10-05,2236908,Christian,"Wonderful house, beautifully decorated and the host was a pleasure to work with! Mitch even left us a bottle of our favorite liquor before check in and we enjoyed his residence and the awesome neighborhood during our weekend at ACL! "
5205299,28219978,2015-03-20,12816155,Sasha,"Liz is a lovely hostess! While I was rarely there due to my involvement with SXSW, she was very kind, welcoming and offered a wealth of insight into local resources 

The home is also lovely and the neighborhood is very walkable to grocery, coffee houses and restaurants.  I enjoyed the 5 mile walk to downtown and the easy access bus stops on the way back."
5205299,28294330,2015-03-21,29693659,Yogendra,"We had a wonderful time staying at Liz's house.we were very comfortable at her home. Great host and very much recommendable.
House is near to Downtown , Clean and safe. "
5205299,29808118,2015-04-12,30272924,Katie,"Liz was the most gracious host and very quick to respond to my inquiries. The room and amenities are spot on with the listing description. I would not hesitate to stay here again. Liz, thank you for your helpful tips and recommendations."
5205299,30269859,2015-04-19,31368527,Bonne,"We were very comfortable in Liz's home, and enjoyed being in her old neighborhood. Everything was clean and the host was very pleasant in response to our questions. The accommodations were as described. 

This was our first airbnb and we would definitely book again."
5205299,30501549,2015-04-23,599522,Daniel And Maria,"We felt very welcome from the first moment. Liz has an amazing gift to offer visitors in this wonderful home.  Its location, charm, and amenities (and even fragrance) are a real treat! Enthusiastically recommended! Maria and Daniel"
5205299,30709877,2015-04-26,963024,Nancy,Liz was great with communication and made it really easy to connect. She was very friendly and welcoming. Her place is perfect and comfortable and she has the sweetest little dog. 
5205299,32077421,2015-05-13,2296950,Zac,Great experience. Comfy bed.Liz went way out of her way to be accommodation . Can't say enough good things about my experience. Great area of town. 
5205299,32894486,2015-05-23,30172372,Edith,"My daughter and her girlfriend lived staying at Liz's. Great amenities, very clean, and an adorable puppy!  "
5205299,33213385,2015-05-25,15534705,Lisa,The house was cute. Room is very basic and the bathroom wasn't too spacious. But for the price is not too bad. Booked this place last minute and Liz was sweet and accommodating. She answered her messages quick and let another friend of mine stayed on couch last minute for only a little more. Liz is great to deal with.
5205299,36052584,2015-06-24,32417175,David,Lovely little house and made to feel very welcome. Very convenient location
5205299,37893007,2015-07-11,7093739,Stephanie,The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5205299,38348576,2015-07-14,599522,Daniel And Maria,"This was our second time with Liz, and it was another wonderful stay!
We especially appreciated the flexibility to check in early and  the spotless home. The location is perfect for us, close to our family in Austin, and the value is unmatched.
Maria and Daniel"
5205299,44212937,2015-08-24,40504421,Ruben,"Liz is an amazing host. She gave me tons of advice on Austin and was always cheerful. If you are up for a talk, then she is very social and will be delighted to have a good conversation. However, if you are up to rest in your room then she will give you your privacy.

The place was as advertised. The room was spacious with a lot of storage place and the house has several amenities (good television selection, fast internet, washer/dryer, etc). 

The house is located in a quiet neighborhood but close to several bus stops that will take you to most places in Austin.

I definitely recommend Liz as a host and her house as a place to stay in Austin."
5205299,49553738,2015-10-04,5961633,Myles,"Liz was super nice and her place was perfect for our stay, very quite neighborhood and only a 10 minute Uber drive to downtown. Price was perfect, next time I stay in Austin I will for sure try to stay with Liz."
5205299,50572382,2015-10-12,21966364,Edd,"Liz was a super friendly host, with loads of local knowledge. Her tiny dog is adorable and we felt so comfortable staying here during the ACL weekend. Bus stops are really close making downtown and zilker park easy to get to! Highly recommend this stay - the bed is sooooo comfy too! "
5205299,52006300,2015-10-25,36957055,Shaun,"Liz was an amazing host! Everything was great! She made us feel very welcomed and she was very friendly and outgoing! She has a great little dog ""Chad"".

7973849,45036525,2015-08-30,7485501,Diana,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Shelley's studio apartment after enjoying a concert in the Austin area. The apartment was VERY clean, about 5-10 mins to downtown Austin and was absolutely perfect for a weekend stay. We very much enjoyed the beautiful artwork on the walls and the general ""vibe"" of the space, and would definitely stay again. "
7973849,46093244,2015-09-07,41057331,Lillyan,It was my first time using Airbnb & I must say first time was a charm!! I absolutely loved staying at this beautiful cozy super chic' cottage! Very private & has everything you need! And Shelley was such an AMAZING host! I will definitely be staying here again!! Made my trip that much more memorable! :-)
7973849,47929219,2015-09-21,4267096,Drew,"Shelley was a great host and excellent communicator throughout the process! The unit is nicely appointed and finished, and the A/C worked perfectly for the hot days and not-as-hot nights. The neighborhood is small but new. I felt quite safe there. 
This is a great place to stay for a few days while visiting Austin. Downtown and all the other hot spots are not far away. The pull-out sofa bed is even comfy!"
4184049,21555076,2014-10-19,22380947,Nick,Jed and Alex were more than accomodating. The house was amazing as expected and everything was exactly as described in the post. I will not hesitate to reach out to them and stay in again in future trip to Austin.
4184049,21903654,2014-10-26,22214335,Jules,"This place was great! We had 15 guys come down for an alumni weekend in Austin and the house couldn't have been more accommodating for us all. Everyone was comfortable, great appliances for cooking and a nice porch in the backyard to hang out. This is was exactly what we needed. Jed was a great host and always responsive. Would suggest this house to anyone needing a group stay. "
4184049,23831210,2014-12-11,1508034,Ira,"Jed and Alex were great hosts and their house was exactly as it was presented in the listing.

The place is HUGE and perfect for large groups or even a couple of families that want to share a space.

I highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again!"
4184049,24722684,2015-01-02,22822358,Matt,The house was fantastic and Jed did everything he could to set us up for a pleasant stay. Highly recommended 
4184049,25314288,2015-01-12,24119532,Dean,"A great stay! Alex was superb about communicating with us before our arrival, and meeting us the house (even earlier than we had originally planned) to walk us through and give us the run down. That good communication continued through our stay and we really appreciated that relationship while in Austin. The house was great, though it maybe doesn't comfortably sleep as many we thought. The 16 number is a max given beds - we used air mattresses and couches to fit everyone in. But, plenty of space in kitchen and garage, which was very useful. Plenty of amenities and bathroom space for our large crew. Would definitely return!"
4184049,25539922,2015-01-19,12233599,Christian,"For such a large group (16 people), Jed and Alex were so accommodating.  We visited Austin for a college reunion, and people were coming in from all over the US (Houston, Seattle, LA, San Francisco).  Jed and Alex were so flexible with the check-in process, that it really helped ease the stress of getting everything together.

For what we wanted and needed (location between the airport and 6th st, a large kitchen to host a family-style dinner, a bed for everyone, and a place that is in a quieter neighborhood), this couldn't have been a more perfect place.

For some people, the neighborhood is a little ""colorful"" to say the least, but the neighbors were very nice, and all of us really enjoyed ourselves."
4184049,26587250,2015-02-16,11571277,Jenny,"9 friends and I stayed at Jed's house while we were in town to attend a wedding.  The house is spacious, clean and welcoming - it was the perfect spot for us all to gather together and hang out.  We appreciated the multiple bathrooms, coffee machine and centrally located address.  We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Austin!  "
4184049,26976318,2015-02-23,15976021,Danny,"Jed has a beautiful home and was available if we had any questions. This place is great for big groups, and is just a short drive or uber/lyft from downtown. This perfect for big groups!"
4184049,27244363,2015-03-01,3991592,Zach,"Jed's house was perfect for our group of 11 in town for a family wedding.  Clean, comfortable & plenty of space for everyone. check-in & check out was easy & Jed was very responsive whenever I reached out which was really only neccassary as a courtesy."
4184049,27581774,2015-03-08,1927661,Richard,"Overall, the host is very easy to work with and very nice. The house is really set up to entertain and comfortable for plenty of guest. The only down side is the house is in a run down part of town. "
4184049,28116285,2015-03-18,18179537,Sabine,"Thank you for staying in your great house !!!!

Thank you for all !"
4184049,28308980,2015-03-22,3894579,James,"The house was perfect for our party of 7. Well designed, cool, and comfortable. Jed and Alex made our arrival and check out easy - they were very accommodating - getting in was easy, all the instructions left on the kitchen counter were clear so we were able to settle right in. Great experience. "
4184049,28774576,2015-03-30,21633999,Jeffrey,"We came down with 12 guys for a bachelor party.  The house is perfect to fit a large group and Jed was very accommodating from start of booking to finish.  The house is a 10 min UBER ride to anywhere you want to go downtown but it is located in an area that you can't really walk to anything.  In hindsight I should have rented a car for the weekend to make quick trips to get groceries, etc.   The house was definitely worth it and would come back to the same house if we come down again in the future."
4184049,30664767,2015-04-26,25409206,Matthew,"Jed and team provided an excellent experience for a very large group of people, all of whom were able to relax comfortably.  The large living space and well-equipped kitchen easily accommodated our party, and provided easy access to every place we visited in the Austin area.  Would absolutely recommend and definitely consider staying again."
4184049,31158756,2015-05-03,22767444,Amelia,"We stayed at Jed and Alex’s home for a long weekend celebrating a bachelorette party. From day 1, they were very responsive and answered all my questions promptly.  We all highly recommend this house if you are visiting Austin. The inside and outdoor space was absolutely perfect.  The kitchen and living room were bright and open, holding a large group with no problems at all.  The wet bar was an awesome addition, having a separate fridge for beverages.  Luckily we had amazing weather so were outside in the front and back yards a lot, the ping pong table in the garage got a lot of use as well! There were plenty of bathrooms for all of us girls, which is super important.  The house had modern touches and was nicely decorated.  We went downtown every day; Uber was always close by and cheap, very easy to get around town.  We all had such a blast in Austin and would definitely stay here again our next trip!  "
4184049,33574711,2015-05-30,27182261,Whitney,"We had a great time at Jed's house. We had a staff retreat with 9 people and every person had their own bed. It was also great having 4 nice, full bathrooms. Everything has been redone recently so the house was very nice and clean. The big kitchen and living area were perfect for a crowd. Jed left great instructions and was always available for questions. "
4184049,34408743,2015-06-08,29020473,Mo,Great house and pictures don't justify size. House really clean when we got there. We had 10 guys in the house and we did not feel crowded at all. Only a 10 min cab or uber ride downtown so location is good as well. Jed and Alex were great as well and very easy to deal with :). 
4184049,35632860,2015-06-21,26631375,Christopher,"Jed was very responsive from the first inquiry all the way through checkout. The photos and description in the listing represent the house well. This house in a great location that makes getting around Austin hassle free. Our group loved the open kitchen/great room that was great for eating, hanging out, and pre-gaming before a night on the town. Plenty of space to sleep a large group. Would recommend to a friend and will be back next time I am in Austin.  "
4184049,36358948,2015-06-28,3434818,Sangreen,"We came to Austin for my sisters Bachelorette party of 15 peoples, and this house couldn’t have been more perfect! Everyone was able to sleep very comfortably. There was more than enough space for our big group to be together. The kitchen island was huge, with enough space for everyone to eat and hangout. The surround sound system was also very impressive—we could listen to the music while we were in the bathroom! We had a minor plumbing issue and Jed was very responsive in getting the issue resolved. The house was also in a good location- it was so easy just to get an Uber to go anywhere. Overall we had a great experience, and would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a good place to stay in Austin."
4184049,39791749,2015-07-26,14251825,Rene,The trip to Austin was great. The house most certainly accommodated all 8 guests and had room for more. There were enough space for us all to have our privacy when we needed it yet still able to come together and enjoy each other's company in the extremely open kitchen/living area. I would definitely look to stay at the house again.
4184049,40923134,2015-08-03,4200874,Mike,Jed was an excellent host. He was available when we needed him and provided everything for us to be comfortable and have fun. We were in town for the weekend for a bachelor party - we had 12 people with us and the house was perfect. The neighbors were cool And fit us all comfortably. The location is great - as we took affordable uber rides to wherever we needed to go. I highly Reccomend staying with Jed. I can't think of anything other than positive things to say. We all had a great time and if you stay here you will too.  
4184049,41761577,2015-08-09,5391901,Alex,"Jed's place was great. Lisa picked me up at the airport and lent us the van for much less than a rental car. The house had plenty of beds and a big kitchen. Well located and simplistic laminated check in, check out instructions. Would definitely recommend this place to any large groups."
4184049,43673061,2015-08-21,39152702,Kate,The house was great! We had a large group in town and Jed communicated well and made sure we were all taken care of. Great host! 
4184049,44902642,2015-08-30,33762314,Eddie,How was awesome!  Plenty of linens and towels.  Enough space for 14 guys with everyone having a bed.  Will definitely be back!!
4184049,52672072,2015-11-01,20845119,James,"We had 10 guys and the house was perfect for our purposes -- cooking, eating, drinking, socializing. Convenient location to fun and exciting things to do in Austin. Don't let the neighborhood mislead you -- the house is a standout."
769765,10911407,2014-03-12,104209,Jay,"Scott was an amazing host! The best I've had so far. I received a warm welcome, even after arriving after 10PM, and was also able to check out later after a full day at SXSW. The location was superb, and perhaps a bit far from the SXSW craziness, but I know Austin, and this is a nice, mostly quiet area, with some decent waterfront restaurants walking distance. We didn't get a chance to hang out, although I would have done so if it weren't for my crazy schedule. Bottom line: Travel safely and comfortably at Scott's place. "
5708946,28912644,2015-03-31,29755309,Emily,"Loved it! The apartment and property was perfect and so nice! Neat, clean, located close to, and equipped with everything that we needed. We enjoyed it and will definitely be renting this again soon"
5708946,29372984,2015-04-06,30424498,Carissa,"Our stay in Austin was wonderful, starting with our warm welcome at Hyde Park! Our apartment was stylish and cozy with all amenities. It was clean, inviting and located in the middle of everything! We could get anywhere in Austin in a matter of minutes and we loved coming ""home"" after exploring all day. We will definitely be back! "
5708946,30106251,2015-04-17,423576,Jessica,"Well, the place was exactly as described and the complex that it was in was wonderful. We did have an initial problem with my reservation not making it to the host, even though I had confirmation and so did Airbnb. I would definitely make sure to contact the host before doing the instant book option. However, Caroline was wonderful with this mix up and did everything she could to fix the situation. "
5708946,33283164,2015-05-26,3622441,Chris,"This was a great experience! The property is located close to downtown and is very well maintained. Unbelievable value, and would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
5708946,52274931,2015-10-27,46667197,John,"Our first experience with Sofia was pleasant.  She accepted our reservation in a timely fashion.  Unfortunately, the apartment number assigned to us from the host was not the one advertised.  The one advertised is 164, and we were given 139.  We were told that if we were unhappy with the new one, we could request a switch.  This proved to be too big a hassle to switch once we realized the problems with 139, so we stuck it out.  

1) Apt smelled of cigarette smoke covered up with a candle.  Really unpleasant.

2) It was really nice that the housekeeping staff came unsolicited to check on us and see if we had everything we needed.  When we discovered we were missing a bar stool, they happily got us another one immediately.

3) Air conditioning drips from an open pipe in the ceiling into the bathtub 24 hrs/day and is leaving a brown stain on the bathtub.  

4) WiFi did not work the entire 4 night stay for apt 139 per the document in the apt, however, we were able to connect sporadically to the Parker's main wifi and various other apt's wifi (phone number hidden)).  We are not sure if this is because it was raining cats and dogs for most of our visit.  

5) When we were without wifi or TV (dependent on wifi as no local channels) for 18 hours or so, the host responded within a few hours and had someone from the Parker help us set it up.

6) Duct tape on ceiling of shower was covering cardboard that was moldy and sagging.

7) We accidentally left a highchair attached to the table and the host helped us easily retrieve it the next day.

Overall, we had some issues with this stay, but the host seemed always willing to help with any problems that arose."
2459536,11020484,2014-03-17,4616342,Tim,"Jay & team were great hosts. Very easy to get in, & check out.

Perfect location for SXSW. Would definitely stay again."
2459536,14205000,2014-06-14,2539473,David,"Jay was a very good host - very communicative and accessible. He made sure that I was welcomed to the city and had everything I needed.

His 3br condo at the Railyard is really in the heart of downtown Austin. It's well kept, safe and secure, and has air conditioning. I'd highly recommend staying here with a group or a family."
2459536,18309207,2014-08-25,16422210,Daniel,"Jay's place was great. We had 8 guys for the weekend and the place had plenty of space, was conveniently located and had everything that we needed during our stay. Will definitely rent again from VactionCake in the future!"
2459536,18883777,2014-09-02,13305311,Emily,"Jay did such an amazing job making us feel welcome! The condo is so cute and has so much room. We had 9 girls and all slept comfortably. He had everything you could need for the kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. It felt like staying at a hotel but more fun! The location is amazing and we took a cab once because we were in heels. Easy to get in the building and the pool is great to have! Jay is awesome and I definitely recommend staying with any of his listings. "
2459536,23719835,2014-12-08,15608782,Lauren,Great condo. Location couldn't have been better. Walked to bars and restaurants! Plenty of space and very clean. Each bathroom even had things the guest could use incase anything was forgotten. Would recommend to everyone! 
2459536,24853301,2015-01-03,11929392,Bonnie,"A group of 6 of us stayed here during the New Year's holiday. Although the rental is a little bit older, it's in the perfect location for downtown Austin. We were able to walk or Uber to all our destinations within several minutes. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and can fit up to 8 people comfortably. Jay was a wonderful host. He immediately responded to any questions we had during our stay. The check-in/check-out process was very easy. I would highly recommend staying at the railyard anytime you are in Austin. Thanks for a wonderful NYE 2015!"
2459536,26014740,2015-02-01,1277000,Andrea,"The Railyard is a great place to stay if you want to be close to all the action!  You can walk to all the different entertainment districts, awesome restaurants, coffee shops and bars are just outside the door.  We had six guest stay and really appreciated having three bathrooms.  The apartment was clean and had everything we needed.  It does get pretty loud at night on the weekends, but for us, it was worth it to be so close to everything."
2459536,27342118,2015-03-02,27175769,Peter,The listing description was very accurate and the location was great.  Very nice apartment.
2459536,27670497,2015-03-09,18695526,Shetha,"The location was great and it was a much more well-maintained unit than a similar unit in the same complex that other friends stayed in. Very clean and comfortable. Also, it was very convenient to have s door code rather than keys! "
2459536,32501123,2015-05-19,28302672,Kim,"Great place. Clean and felt safe. Lots of space. No issue with anything. Awesome locations, we could walk almost anywhere we wanted and there was a bike rental place right on the corner. Would definitely recommend! Thanks"
2459536,36375825,2015-06-28,26251322,Shannon,The condo was clean and in a such a great location!  The listing description is accurate and I would definitely recommend the condo to anyone.
2459536,45704583,2015-09-05,41479002,Travel Manager,"We used this apartment for corporate travel for 4 international team members coming into town for a training week.  It was a better value for us vs. reserving 4 hotel rooms downtown, and gave them more privacy than asking them to share two rooms.  Plus they felt like they had more of a feel for the city staying here.  They all told me they would stay here again.

All of them loved the location and the fact that it was relatively quiet despite being right downtown.  The keyless entry system was also very appreciated.  While an older property, it was clean and tidy and the hosts left a very comprehensive guide to the property and the area that they really appreciated being new to the city.  

The only complaint was that the internet access was spotty.  Since there were four people all trying to do work while they were here and likely wanting to stream music or movies in their off hours that might have been a bit too taxing for the system in place.

The only access to the property is via stairs and within the property the 4th bedroom is up a narrow spiral staircase to a loft, so keep that in mind if luggage and overall health is a consideration.  As prior reviewers mentioned the living room and kitchen are cozy - so four couples might find this a bit snug if they plan to spend much time in the apartment.  But for four singles, this is really an ideal location downtown with thoughtful hosts."
2459536,51524411,2015-10-21,15472626,Rebecca,"Our stay at Railyard was as expected, and the place worked for the 6 of us. Location is great, right downtown, making it easy to walk to lots of areas or quickly grab an Uber. Three bathrooms is a big plus for a large group. If I visit Austin again, I would choose this area.
Jay was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to all emails/texts. They offer lots of great suggestions for places to eat etc.
A few things to note; the place is older than it looks in pictures. If you are not fussy, then this won't bother you. We thought the place would be a bit nicer, but regardless it did serve the purpose. There are no curtains in the bedrooms, just blinds, so the sun shines in bright first thing and so do the street lights in the night - if you require a dark room to sleep you should consider this. We woke up with the sun every day. You will hear some noise from 6th st., especially Thurs-Sat, I did not find it bad, but if you are a light sleeper you may want ear plugs. The internet was horrible the first few days, but they brought in a tech to fix it during one of the days (we appreciate that it was fixed, it just meant we had a tech in the house while getting ready for the evening). There is a pool, however it does not get any sun so we never utilized it. If you do want to swin, it was very quiet in the courtyard at all times.

7689965,46295631,2015-09-09,13309959,Helen,"Alix is a first time host, but extremely accommodating. The house is spacious and in the westside hills of Austin. It is best to have a car from this location. But the stay is great for families or large groups."
7689965,47490185,2015-09-19,40526532,Ryan,Host was amazing!  Had a welcome gift waiting for us when we arrived.  The neighborhood is great - perfect location for the events we had planned.  The pool was a fantasic place to relax after a long day golfing and shopping.
7689965,49018487,2015-09-30,21412415,Susan,"The house was just as it appeared in the photos, beautifully set among lovely old trees.  The neighbourhood was peaceful and family orientated.  Alix was very efficient and welcoming in all correspondence."
7689965,50287172,2015-10-11,39867393,Sal,"Great house, close to downtown Austin, very clean, pool was awesome on the 95 degree days, great value when you consider hotel rooms downtown cost more per night, Thanks Alix !"
7689965,50671194,2015-10-13,41088805,Peter,"Great house - comfortable, spacious and clean.  Alix was welcoming and took care of us."
7689965,51443457,2015-10-20,17774225,Joanna,"We arrived to the house and there was a welcome book and some cookies for us, which was a very sweet touch. The fridge and pantry is loaded and for you to use, this was a huge bonus. The house overall is very roomy and beautiful and we did enjoy our stay very much. The location is about 15 min to downtown and very convenient. The pictures in the profile however are not exactly what you get upon arrival, there is now completely different furniture in the house in all rooms. The master appears to have a king in the pictures but actually has a semi-uncomfortable queen bed on a very noisy bed-frame and no other furniture- no dresser to put clothes and no access to the closet, which made things a bit difficult. Also the two bedrooms downstairs one has a crib and a full bed and the other has two individual twin beds. Both were portrayed in pictures as being queen beds. Also- no toaster or toaster oven to use and no TV's in any bedrooms. I just want to make sure anyone interested knows the sleeping situation prior to booking. Overall our stay was very pleasant, great to have the hot tub and pool to use and a nice quiet neighborhood."
7689965,52823762,2015-11-02,40538601,Carlos,Wonderful experience. The house was everything she said and more.

She had lots of recommendations from everything on where to eat to babysitter suggestions- all of which were amazing!  Her home is spotless, well decorated and very comfortable. The beds are insanely comfortable! The location could not have more to offer. About a 3 minute walk to the Alamo on South Lamar, Shake Shack and lots more. We look forward to our next stay with Kaley!
 "
7805163,50540966,2015-10-12,13836012,Saba,"What a wonderfully cozy home! Six of us altogether spent the weekend here for ACL and had an outstanding experience. Kaley was a spectacular host! She responded quickly to any questions we had and was always very warm and accommodating. Beyond how naturally comfortable her house is, with ample room for all of us to sleep, kick back, and freshen up, it was the little touches like the fresh flowers, the coffee, the neatly folded towels, and the bay leaves in the shower, that made us feel more than welcome and right at home. As far as location goes, Kaley’s home is also excellent. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, less than a mile from Zilker Park and in walking distance of many great restaurants. We were also able to Uber for fairly cheap to downtown and South Congress when we didn’t feel like driving or walking in the heat. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for more and would be more than happy to stay here again if the opportunity arises."
6807754,35747042,2015-06-21,10099403,Kalina,"Both Kara and her flatmate were very nice and welcoming, they offered detailed information about the city and the neighbourhood, which is nice and quiet and has plenty of shops, bars, etc. Also, Kara was flexible and let us use the kitchen, which was probably related to the fact that we got a different room than the one described in the ad, and it turned out well. On the downside, the room wasn't clean. Also, the living space in the house is just behind the wall, which can make things difficult if you have to go to bed early. "
6807754,38307452,2015-07-14,36268288,Bryan,The Ladies that live in the house were very welcoming and helpful in regards to making me feel at home. They were quiet and it was evident that they tried to keep the noise down to be respectful of not only me but of each other. I really needed an affordable place to stay for 11 days and if they had not booked the room already I would have stayed longer.
6807754,38523105,2015-07-16,31470051,Ted,"Kara was a friendly host and was accommodating when I had to change my itinerary twice (which was much appreciated).  She was reponsive when we messaged on airbnb and was helpful.  We didn't talk that much during my stay here due to differing schedules, but from what we did, she seemed like a cool young woman.  She was polite and helpful towards me.  The house itself is fairly close to places like Epoch, Workhorse and a couple others.  I liked the house and felt it was cozy and had a neat layout.  Overall, I'd recommend staying here!"

4082265,30874091,2015-04-28,27223891,Alex,"My colleagues and I were in Austin for a conference and needed a comfortable place to stay after our long days of socializing. The South Austin retreat was exactly what was presented online and we were welcomed by extensive and well laid out instructions on how to work everything and where to find what we needed. It was spotless and very cozy. Everyone felt comfortable and we were all able to relax and enjoy the space during our down time. While we didn't use the kitchen that much because meals were already planned around the event, when we did use it for little things everything worked well and every utensil etc was available. Plus, we loved that the coffee pot was out and ready for us and the basic fixings were sitting right next to it. The neighborhood was quiet and it was easy find. All in all we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this space. "
4082265,31976554,2015-05-12,19932781,Shilpa,"Just an absolutely beautiful home. Easy check in and check out. Owners made sure to always respond promptly. When we weren't sure how something worked, they quickly gave us some options and also offered to come show us! I felt very welcome and the place really felt like home. I miss the place already!!! "
4082265,52694398,2015-11-01,31552300,Laura,"Great location in south Austin, in fairly quiet residential neighborhood.  Close driving distance to many attractions with easy access to downtown Austin and the airport.  Clean, nicely furnished, and updated mid-century modern rancher with a private 1/2 bath off the master bedroom in addition to the shared full bath. Kitchen included stainless steel fridge, updated cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher. Washer and dryer were a nice plus. Off street  parking could easily accommodate 2 large vehicles, too.   Could comfortably sleep 6,  although we only had 3 in our party.  Wifi worked perfectly, and Sally, who was our contact this week, was quick to respond to texts or emails.  Top that off with the easiest check-in and check-out I've experienced. I would definitely recommend Scott's South Austin accommodations."
4243146,22315231,2014-11-03,21067060,Luis,Great place and a great view!  I would definitely recommend Lydia's place for future reservations.  The free Uber code came in handy too.  Great host!  Thanks again
4243146,50620344,2015-10-13,37562020,Lauren,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Lydia's place for a few days during our first trip to Austin. Lydia was extremely welcoming and accommodating right from the start. She provided great recommendations about the area and was very easy to communicate with in general. The house was neat and clean, with an adorable balcony, and free parking out front. It's about a 10-minute drive to Downtown Austin and is also very close to both South 1st Street and Zilker Park. Lydia was a fantastic host, and the house in general provided everything we needed and made us feel comfortable during our stay. The neighborhood is generally quiet, yet quaint and friendly. If you're looking for a no-fuss stay in a great location, I would absolutely recommend this place. "

3230285,15871250,2014-07-17,7594873,Dominique,"Erica and the Turnkey team were very attentive and a pleasure to work with. The house is beautiful - more so than the pics show, especially with new decor. It is NOT the taxidermy showroom it appears to be in the old photos. 

One thing about the property that surprised me was the separate basement apartment. I didn't realize that when I read the listing. This adds essentially a second kitchen (third if you count the outdoor kitchen) and additional bedroom and bathroom. The property is even bigger than this description indicates. 

The landscaping is beautiful. The pool and hot tub were wonderful, especially after long days of meetings during our company retreat. 

There were plenty of spaces to break off and hold small meetings. We had people using the formal dining room, the kitchen table, the upstairs small game area and the living room.

The neighborhood is nice. It's a good distance from the attractions of Austin but that's not why we were there, so it didn't matter. 

The one even remotely negative criticism I have is that there is no outdoor lighting - or if there is, we didn't see it. The hot tub is way down by the lake, with many stairs to reach it. There are numerous stairs around the pool and back up to the house. After dark, the yard becomes treacherous to navigate because it's pitch black.

Overall I highly recommend this property."
3230285,28037512,2015-03-16,10371609,Luke,What a lovely home on a hill overlooking the lake. Wish we had more time to explore the area. Recommend this place for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life but still enjoy the comforts of good living.

We didn't actually meet since she was out of town but she made the arrival and departure process very simple. She was always quick to get back to me with a phone call or email when I had a question. The condo was even nicer in person than in the photos. It's very nicely decorated and felt very homey. The bedroom and living room are both large and provide ample space to relax. The location is really great, just a 5-10 minute walk to the entrance of the Barton Spring Pool and 10-15 minutes to Zilker Park/ACL Getting an Uber ride from the condo was always quick (5 minutes or less) and cheap; even from the airport the ride was under $30. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin. I can't imagine a more convenient place for enjoying a weekend at ACL!"

It was in a perfect location with a short walk to the fun at Zilker park and downtown, but the neighborhood was peaceful and friendly. The apartment had all the amenities you need and was very well maintained.

Top flor, all to yourself, private entrance, full kitchen. free wifi... almost too good to be true for SXSW Interactive.  Walking distace from the action and the jogging path by the river close by makes it better than a hotel. Kate is a very responsive host, help us get the wifi back up again so we could do some work in the mornings. There was even good breakfast. I highly recommend staying there. It is a great place.

The cabs had a hard time finding it with out a GPS but it is really easy to find once you have walked into town once, wich I recommend you do.

Ideal for up to 6 people.
Leaving fruit etc was a nice touch."
958210,4249474,2013-04-22,1265567,Denise,"We came to Austin for the ms150 cycling race and we had a blast. I came with my toddler son, mother and father. The place was great, it was newly remodeled, clean and exactly how the owner expressed it on airbnb. We would stay here again next time in Austin. It was nice bc we took my son to the park which was a block over from the house. The house was close to everything. We went to dinner at parkside (seafood restaurant) downtown which was excellent. We also went to zilker park and took my son on the train ride which he loved. I luv Austin every time we come, it has so much to offer."
958210,4362977,2013-04-30,454163,Jason,"What a wonderful place! We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and listening to the many birds on this quiet street. A short walk took us to a river walking path and playground, and a short drive took us to many tacos. The rooms and facilities were spotless, and Kate could not have been a more helpful, friendly and gracious host. Thank you so much."

It was everything you can ask for, very clean and well kept. All the bedrooms were big and comfortable  . Had a living room and a full kitchen. Highly recommend staying here if you come visit Austin. Kate was quick to respond to any question we had. Bonus is that there is a park walking distance from the neighborhood right on the lake."
958210,7320508,2013-09-15,315019,Katie,Great hotel alternative in east austin. The apartment was immaculately clean and more than enough space for my party of 6 people. Excellent value.

I was in Austin for a wedding and stayed here with 2 of the other bridesmaids and it was exactly what we were looking for. Close enough to downtown for easy cabbing to all the wedding events and still in a quiet and cute neighborhood. The house is very nice and comfortable with all the amenities of home.  I'd definitely stay there again! 
958210,8422525,2013-10-29,9593407,Patrick,This apartment was perfect for our group. The space was comfortable and the location struck the perfect balance of possessing Austin's charms without being in a loud or crazy area. The apartment was also spotless and offered a relaxing respite during our time in town. Thanks Kate!
958210,8513980,2013-11-03,1714354,Zach,Kate's house was a very cool little spot in a nice quiet neighborhood that was just a few minutes from Rainey Street and a bunch of fun bars & restaurant. This place was a perfect size for 4 people and was very clean and comfortable with a great porch for checking out the neighborhood while enjoying morning coffee/afternoon drinks. Kate was even kind enough to leave a few beers in the fridge for us which was much appreciated. 
958210,8684216,2013-11-12,4508600,Kathy,"I rented Kate's home for my family during our wedding weekend.

958210,9574348,2014-01-02,1939494,Timothy,"It was a true joy for my friends and I to stay at Kate's place for New Years.  Her home was absolutely immaculate, and is located in a very convenient location (we were able walk everywhere we wanted to downtown).

I was blown away at the thoughtful gestures that Kate offered from fresh bananas, to a quick guide of things to do, coffee and so much more.  Thank you, Kate."
958210,10426395,2014-02-18,1591108,Helen,"Kate's place was perfect for our group. Kate was very responsive when I contacted her and getting into the apartment was easy. Everything was provided for us and more, including some snacks and a bottle of wine! The communal area where the tv sits is a little snug for 6 people but other than that, the apartment was perfect. Great location- close to Lady bird lake and a short drive to 6th Street. Would definitely stay here again!"
958210,10531031,2014-02-24,10961305,Maria,"We were really pleased with Kate's place! Everything was clean and comfortable and really well stocked. :) Thanks, Kate!"

958210,11203054,2014-03-24,13223287,Nate,"This was our first airbnb experience and it was AWESOME! Kate was an amazing host and very accommodating. Her communication prior to our arrival was great and it made the stay very easy. As for the house we stayed in, it looked brand new and there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere. The beds were extremely comfy and the bathrooms were simple and elegant. Did I mention she even stocked the fridge with a few beers?! Needless to say, next time I'm in Austin forget the hotels, I know where I'm staying. :)"
958210,11752473,2014-04-14,12995270,Christina,So glad that Kate was kind enough to open up this space for my stay! It was the most perfect experience and truly a treat for celebrating my 25th birthday. Very tidy and comfortable and so convenient to everywhere we wished to go. I would stay here again for another event. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone. 
958210,12627597,2014-05-06,1143000,Gavin,"My goodness what a beautiful apartment and amazing location.

Kate was so generous in her hospitality I have already recommended friends to book the place when they stay."
958210,12871853,2014-05-12,2311523,Xavier,"Communication with Kate and access to the house were a breeze! Kate's hose was fantastic! Very comfortable, clean, spacious, and for us that had plans to go to the Fiesta Gardens and east 6th, perfectly located. Kate had everything you could need in the house, allowing us to skip the usual AirBnB convenience store trip for soap, towels, tp.. Simply awesome! Indubitably recommended!! Thank you for a fantastic weekend Kate!"
958210,13407515,2014-05-27,1571685,Joni,"Kate's place is a great place to stay in Austin.  It is centrally located - just a mile or two from downtown, South Congress, multiple BBQ places.  Beds are very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend.  Would recommend this to any one and would definitely stay here again if I am back in town."
958210,13696203,2014-06-02,15270280,Kayla,"When planning our Austin trip we were looking for a place to house 6 people (3 couples) in a quiet area that was also centrally located.  We found Kate's place and heard great things about this burgoening neighborhood.  We LOVED the house and neighborhood. The neighborhood has that perfect combination of gentrification and gritty uniqueness.  The house was comfortable for 6 people; Kate provided clean linens, toiletries and even had snacks and beer in the fridge.  We were able to walk to Juan in a million for breakfast burritos and to Rainey Street (about 1 mile) for drinks, dinner, and late night music. Also very close to the river.  I would go back to Kate's place in a heart beat! Highly recommended!"
958210,13978482,2014-06-09,15738713,Claire,"Kate was very easy to get in touch with, and the property was fantastic!  We comfortably fit six girls and enjoyed how close the apartment was to Downtown.  I would highly recommend this unit for a weekend getaway."

958210,16132020,2014-07-22,14170073,Trent,"Kate made us feel very welcome with a clean and charming interior, an informative welcome packet, and a classy bottle of wine. The description of the place was very accurate, and we were really pleased with the comfort of the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. As a host, she was very friendly, flexible, and understanding. Couldn't have asked for a better first airbnb experience!"
958210,17422457,2014-08-11,13324759,Venu,"Perfect location to travel in and around downtown Austin. House was in a very good condition. The refrigerator had some quick bites (milk, fruits, juice etc..). Very good experience overall."
958210,18287146,2014-08-24,16710000,Wayetu,Kate has a beautiful space that is only a skip away from downtown Austin attractions. Accommodations were lovely and I'd certainly rent from her again! 
958210,19179286,2014-09-07,20928627,Tommy,Nice house with comfortable beds. The layout was perfect for our group (3 bedrooms with a queen in each).  Kate was very easy to work with. The 6pk from a local brewery was a nice touch.
958210,19550621,2014-09-14,8049913,Samer,Thank you for a wonderful weekend stay in Austin! The six of us loved the place. Each of the three bedrooms were comfortable and had a queen size bed. Overall the place was incredibly clean. It's located close to downtown -- we took an UberX there for about 10 dollars. Would definitely recommend this place for groups! 
958210,19897763,2014-09-20,20934374,Andy,A great place to stay - leafy river walks on the doorstep and very close to Downtown. 
958210,19985574,2014-09-21,2941602,Kimberly,"We had a great time at Kate's place! The location was super convenient, and the apartment was well kept and clean. Oh, the beds were really comfortable, too! We would definitely stay again."
958210,21509675,2014-10-19,2183654,David,"This was a fantastic AirBnB experience.   The space was exactly as described--3 bedrooms with comfortable queen beds and two bathrooms.  It was ideal for our party of three couples.  The space was *extremely* clean and new, bedding and towels were provided and nice, the location was very good, and never had any problem finding street parking for our rental vehicle.  

Kate was very easy to work with, even providing a few basic breakfast items and a nice bottle of wine upon our arrival--unfortunately we were too busy enjoying everything that Austin had to offer to enjoy the bottle of wine. "
958210,21823982,2014-10-25,17245575,Raquel,Kate was a great host and even left us a few treats in the fridge. The flat was perfect for our stay in Austin and a great location for getting around. 
958210,22288561,2014-11-03,12000001,Bunnoi,"Kate was very prompt with her response and booking was made easy. On the day of my arrival, she made check-in very simple and I was pleasantly surprised by her house. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and seemed safe.  It was conveniently located near downtown, the riverfront, and the major highways.  Everything about the house was as advertised.  It was very modern, clean, and comfortable. 
My family of 6 and I rented out the entire top floor  (3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living and a kitchen). It was perfect for us and very nice to have two full baths to share amongst 6 people. The kitchen was well stocked (wine, coffee, tea, milk, snacks, etc) and good for cooking small meals or warming up left overs. It was a very pleasant touch for Kate to leave us wine and items for breakfast. The beds were very comfortable and the bedding/towels were fresh.  The house was in new condition so there were no problems with heating and cooling. The house was equipped with Wifi and Kate had a large stack of movies. Since there was no cable, we ended up going a few blocks and hanging out at a great bar to watch the Longhorns game.  
All our needs were met with this rental and the spaciousness of the house was perfect for us to do wedding prep for my sisters wedding. I would definitely stay again at Kate's house and recommend it for a large groups or individuals wanting to be near downtown, but away from the noise."
958210,22588193,2014-11-10,21463358,Britany,Kate was a great hostess and her place was a convenient location. I would recommend her to anyone. 
958210,22866396,2014-11-16,23500870,Michelle,"I loved the place! The entire night went so smoothly. There was more than enough space for everyone to sleep, quick Über cabs, snacks, and an overall wonderful atmosphere. Thank you Kate!"

958210,24594333,2014-12-31,15063003,Larissa,"Kate was super responsive and extremely organized. My fiancee and our parents (6 of us total) all stayed in her upstairs unit (3BR-2B) and it was a lovely place for us to spend the holidays. We appreciated the tangerines and beverages that were left for us!

The property is conveniently located to the Hike and Bike trail, eateries along Caesar Chavez and other great East Austin places. Although we had rented a car, we ended up walking everywhere. 

This is a great home away from home and it comfortably fit 6 adults (4 of which were over 60 y/o!). "
958210,25528672,2015-01-18,26085562,Rita,"I had a wonderful first time AirBnb experience! Kate was a phenomenal host - very prompt with her responses and so thoughtful for leaving us some snacks when we got there. Check-in is so simple and the house was even nicer than described. 6 of us stayed in the house and it fit us all perfectly. This house was exactly what we wanted -- free parking, walking distance from downtown or a quick cab ride, and super clean. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Kate! "
958210,25586462,2015-01-19,26200858,Maria,"Very pleased with the flat.  We rented all of it and every room was very clean.  A bottle of wine was waiting for us which we enjoyed on the porch.  There was four adults and one child so the place was perfect, the rooms were very spacious.  There were plenty of towels and toiletries in case you forgot yours.  Kate responded immediately to any questions we had."
958210,26493158,2015-02-14,6162483,Matt,Great place. Very accommodating host. 
958210,26689567,2015-02-17,26183633,Jeffrey,"Kate's place was amazing!  Beds were comfortable.  The place was very clean with plenty of room.  Porch/deck was quiet and soothing. She had beer and drinks in the fridge upon arrival.  Coffee and amenities in the kitchen.  The house was in a great area with shops and restaurants in walking distance.  A quick mile walk to White Horse, Cisco's and many other places.   Any Uber ride to downtown areas was around $5, so it was a great place to have ""headquarters"".

Thanks Kate!  "
958210,27597141,2015-03-08,27611609,Eric,Kate's place was great - I was impressed by how clean and easy the check-in and check-out process was. I was very comfortable in the accommodations and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. 
958210,28068496,2015-03-17,10063505,Erik,Great house in nice neighbourhood within walking distance of downtown. Kate was very welcoming with great service. Would certainly stay here again.
958210,28300898,2015-03-22,4134720,Dawson,"This is a great place to stay. It's a comfortable place, with all the necessary amenities. It's also a charming and quiet neighborhood. "
958210,28801289,2015-03-30,3750221,Tressa,"We felt welcomed the minute we stepped in the door with a bottle of wine and a fridge full of provisions waiting for us after a long day of travel.  The apartment was just as described in the listing and delightfully clean. The host was responsive throughout the weekend whenever questions arose.  The neighborhood is located east of interstate 35, sandwiched between E Cesar Chavez and the river.  It's well positioned for easy access (by car) to downtown, popular shopping areas and recreation.  This older neighborhood of single family homes with the constant song of local bird life and wild vegetation seems to be in transition both economically and visually--evidently East Austin in ground zero for a new wave of gentrification in the area.  All that aside, the neighborhood is interesting in it's own right and warrants exploration. We would definitely stay here again--a great home base as you explore such a cool city like Austin.  "
958210,29293799,2015-04-06,28591045,David,Kate was terrific. Sent me an email with check in instructions. The place was immaculate and checked in with me frequently to see if everything was ok.
958210,29675964,2015-04-11,3910855,Liza,"We loved staying at this location! All 4 of us were comfortable and happy the entire length of our stay. Everything was so clean, tidy and organized. There was even a bottle of wine left for us on the counter which I thought was very sweet! 

I didn't know Austin at all when I booked this place, but it couldn't have worked out any better. East Austin is a hip up and coming neighborhood with a mixture of both modern and traditional. We spent the first day walking around on Cesar Chaves St. There were bars and amazing food trucks like La Barbeque and Kurlins all within a 10-15min walking distance. We also walked down to Rainey Street and Downtown, which was about a 20 - 25 minute walk along the river. And if you like running - like I do - the park is only a block away and is perfect for a short run. 

Overall, I would give this place 6 stars if I could! It was clean, comfortable, and Kate was communicative and easy to work with. Highly recommended! "
958210,29759961,2015-04-12,21754149,Jacob,Great place to stay with three separate rooms. Thanks for the hospitality. Near downtown. Right by the lake.
958210,30046875,2015-04-16,377579,James,"Great place. Recommend if your looking for a mid sized apartment to stay in Austin. 

Very convenient."
958210,30131997,2015-04-18,28070097,Justine,"We stayed here for 1 night whilst we were in Austin and we wish we could have stayed longer! Beds were comfy, house was so clean, Kate was great to speak with letting us know exactly what we needed to know about the house which made it a breeze. Will definitely be staying here again if we come back to austin."
958210,30233124,2015-04-19,21025129,Josh,This place is located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. We loved it and would stay again next time we visit with friends. Thank you Kate! 
958210,30749545,2015-04-26,8567454,Dave,"First time using AirBnB, and it was a great experience. The home is lovely and served as a great hub for our weekend. We decided last minute to drive up from Corpus Christi and Kate was very quick to get back to me. Nothing but good things to say. "
958210,31200351,2015-05-03,3945333,Jordan,Kate's house was great. We had a group of 6 girls so three bedrooms and two bathrooms was perfect. The house is super close to a nice river walk. Don't expect to walk downtown though as the streets aren't very pedestrian friendly. We appreciated that there were some snacks for us when we arrived and that there were plenty of keys. Kate was also very accommodating and let us check in early which we appreciated. 
958210,31835493,2015-05-10,28249303,Johnny,"Kate's house is clean, comfortable, and close to a ton of great spots in the city. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend trip."
958210,32956244,2015-05-24,23059039,Wendi,"The airbnb was very welcoming and clean. Check in instructions were clear, and the host was gracious enough to leave various groceries and a bottle of wine for us. There were plenty of towels and toiletries provided.

"
958210,34993098,2015-06-14,33947284,Sheena,"Adorable home in an adorable neighborhood!  We were able to fit 6 comfortably and parking was plentiful.  Everything that we needed was available - clean linens and towels, toiletries, wifi, even a bottle of wine!  The location was perfect and is less than 2 miles from Rainey St. and close to 6th St.  We rented a car, but took Uber at night and the rides were no more than $10 each way.  I absolutely recommend anyone visiting town to stay here!"
958210,39802270,2015-07-26,36132419,Kaitie,Description was accurate and it was an easy experience!
958210,41868409,2015-08-09,40149969,Michelle,We enjoyed our stay and the house was very clean. Kate was very nice and left snacks for us and directions for every thing we may have needed. 
958210,42989226,2015-08-16,41185867,Asad,Kate gave very clear instructions on how to check-in at her place. Her apartment was very clean and newly renovated! Beds are comfy and towels are plenty.  She provides breakfast items as well. Very good location for anyone who wants to be near downtown. Great host!
958210,44073776,2015-08-23,21418552,Ben,The house was precisely as advertised and in a great location. There was a good festival going on right around the corner on Sunday. Would definitely recommend this listing.
958210,46233566,2015-09-08,41572159,Randy,"We had the pleasure of renting Kate's ""flat"" for a few days, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  The place was EXTREMELY clean and the location is wonderful, if you want to be close to downtown & S. Congress, etc. 

Kate was able to build a great place, effectively utilizing space to create 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen and dining/living room area. Perfect for up to 6 adults.

There are a couple of things that future renters need to know, none of which are negative, just for FYI purposes:
-The ""Flat"" is the second floor, not the entire house. That said, you will have the entire floor to yourselves. 
-The only way up to the ""Flat"" is by using the spiral staircase seen in the pictures.  We were fine with this, but it could be trouble for someone with disabilities, etc.
-The kitchen does not have an oven or a full refrigerator (it has a mini fridge).  Again, just an FYI if you are planning on cooking on an oven and/or needing a full fridge for your stay.

To reiterate, we LOVED the place and RECOMMEND IT HIGHLY, but felt these things need to be known before renting.

It's a wonderful place to stay!

958210,47966746,2015-09-22,35888230,Rebecca,Great rental and great location! Easy access to every place we wanted to go. House was clean and low maintenance for us. Kate made it very easy for us! Highly recommended.

We stayed as 3 couples very comfortably. Never had any problems. Awesome neighborhood. Kate was so nice, we had orange juice, coffee, milk, bathroom supplies.

7582790,46024063,2015-09-07,11012954,Susan,"The house had all amenities and contact with the host was prompt and informative. The location of the home was convenient to Austin points of interests such as the 6th Street area, Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, South Congress, etc. "
7582790,46847907,2015-09-13,1491322,David,"The house is very private and comfortable. It is easy to get there and parking on the street is easy. The building is a stand alone house behind the main house. I had total privacy the entire time.

The main floor is a kitchen and living room. Couches and dining room table are all very comfortable. A cool circular stairway leads to the second floor where the bathroom and bedroom lie. There is a pair of doors that lead to a deck. The bed was very comfortable. 

All in all, I really enjoyed staying here. Check in and check out were easy. Communication was great."

The pool and jacuzzi were amazing to hang out at during the day, and being so close to Downtown and Barton Springs was a cheap uber ride. Every time we took an uber to Rainey St. or 6th St., it was a total of 6 or 7 bucks. Terry Blacks BBQ was a 5 minute walk, as well as a number of other places to eat. Bike rentals are just down the street too (public and a local bike shop). This location cannot be beat. It's nestled in a quiet little neighborhood, so when you're ready to escape the chaos of downtown, it's easy to get away to this little retreat. The place is an older duplex so don't expect any fancy appliances etc, but it has everything you need. One room has a King size bed, the other has a Queen. Chad provided a sleeper sofa as well. The neighbors are super nice and welcoming too, they were very helpful if we needed anything. This place made my trip to Austin one of the best I've had, would definitely stay again.

 "
5475507,36101921,2015-06-25,2516651,Monica,"Great location, such a cozy comfortable apartment, and of course an awesome pool/jacuzzi. Chad's neighboor Dan, was very friendly, helpful and made our stay extra special. If we ever come back to Austin, we would definately stay at chad's place again."
5475507,37511726,2015-07-07,8903552,Arthur,"Chad's place was clean, spacious and very well located. We loved the pool and hot tub in the backyard. Chad and his neighbor Dan were very welcoming and helpful with getting us settled and recommending places to eat/drink. I would definitely recommend Chad's place for anyone coming to Austin who wants a great value and amazing location! "
5475507,37911985,2015-07-11,37302774,Rick,The location is very central and everything you could want to be in the best of Austin. The host is very accommodating and we had a wonderful time with the family relaxing by the pool and grilling for an afternoon. We would recommended this place to anyone. The one draw back is no TV's in the bedrooms.
5475507,40006446,2015-07-27,37302774,Rick,"This was our second stay at chads duplex, it was just as enjoyable as the first. The patio and pool are a very relaxing area after a hot day of entertainment around Austin. With the central location of the duplex it's easy to find something fun whether on Barton Spring rd., Lamar, 1st street all within a short walking distance. Would recommend staying here to any couple or foursome."
5475507,42014923,2015-08-10,28972078,Carlo,Great location in a quiet neighborhood. Chad and his tenant Dan were very welcoming and accommodating. 
5475507,47687321,2015-09-21,3033794,Gabriel,"Great place and great locations! I stayed there for over a month and had a blast.
I didn't meet Chad but Dan who lives next door helped me with everything I needed.
The photos from the house are legit and the size of the house is just perfect. The backyard with a swimming pool and jacuzzi is simply amazing! Since the house is a duplex, you will be sharing the backyard with Dan and as I said he is a very cool guy.
If you like to cook, check the kitchenware before doing your grocery, the kitchen did not have many things and that could be a problem if you already bought food that you can't really cook there.
The location was great, it's not downtown where most of the fun happens but is close enough for a walk (around 25 min depending on where you are going in downtown) or a $5 dollar uber. 
The neighborhood is very safe and pretty, full of restaurants including a very good texmex and it's very close to the lake, so you can go for a run or walk in the lake trail.
Overall, I had a great time, would totally stay there again and recommend you give it a shot!"
5475507,48898447,2015-09-29,38373355,Christopher,"Chad was a great host for our time in Austin. Very easy to get a hold of and incredibly hospitable. Place was beautiful and perfect for our needs. Plus the pool was gorgeous. If I'm ever in Austin again, I'm sure I'll be checking Chad's availability."
5475507,50618289,2015-10-13,36551755,Dustin,"Great location and stay. We really enjoyed the backyard and Chad and his neighbor Dan made us feel welcome. Walking distance to ACL and  several restaurants. 10 minute cab to downtown bars. 15 minutes to the airport, we didn't even need to rent a car."
5475507,52225229,2015-10-27,30119238,Alex,"We really enjoyed our stay thanks to Chad’s hospitality and the rentals’ close proximity to some great parks as well as downtown Austin. Upon arrival at Chad’s half duplex our group was greeted by his neighbour, Dan, who gave us a quick tour of the unit and the beautiful backyard. Dan recommended a great breakfast place and a couple of tasty BBQ spots nearby.

We had plenty of space in the unit with 2 bedrooms and 3 queen beds as advertised. With some unexpected heavy rain we were pleased that the unit had a basic kitchen so we could stay in and do a little bit of cooking. The backyard hot tub, pool and other outdoor amenities are a huge bonus here, giving you a great space to retreat to for relaxation after exploring the city.

Whenever we visit Austin again I’m sure Chad’s place will be considered. Thanks Chad!"
7532838,42467227,2015-08-13,3406571,Justine,"My stay at Cassidy's apartment was great. It is a small one bed room apartment which was great since it was only my boyfriend and I that stayed over. Cassidy was a great host although I didn't get to meet her, she left us with extra blankets and towels. It is in West Campus which is close to downtown (5 minute drive). There is a market and liquor store right around the block which was really convenient. I would love to stay at Cassidy's again! "
7532838,42761187,2015-08-15,39169870,Filip,"We all felt really welcomed, the flat was well prepared we felt really comfortable. The location is really convenient, since it took us around 10 minutes to the UT at Austin campus and to capital around 15 minutes. Even though we were three the flat was big enough. The communication between me and Cassidy was completely without problems and she gave us some tips. Unfortunately we could not meet in person, but Cass answered within an hour for our questions. I really recommend this flat. "

Even after our tour of UT we went back to relax and still had time to explore the rest of Austin! Host also responded to any questions I had with prompt timing, Would recommend."

6478081,33049816,2015-05-24,28306544,Mark,"This was our first time to use AirBnB. Ty, the owner, was a great host. He made us feel welcome and was very accommodating. The home was brand new, top notch amenities and our room very comfortable. We stayed 2 nights while attending a wedding in town. We would definitely use this property again when we're in Austin."

6478081,34365000,2015-06-07,6287005,Kelly,"We had a great time staying at Ty's place. The room was awesome, clean, and spacious. He even was kind enough to provide towels and soap for us. We felt very welcome to chat with Ty if needed. He gave us a great breakfast suggestion, the hillside Farmacy, which was only a short drive away. The location was perfect and a quick Uber ride to 6th street! I highly suggest staying with Ty, his house is great and he's a wonderful host."
6478081,34901992,2015-06-13,836108,Fareen,"Ty was great - welcoming, friendly but not invasive, and provided exactly what I needed - a clean, comfortable (and stylish!) place to stay for a few nights in Austin.  The apartment is in a convenient location on the East side with good proximity to various areas of the city, and Ty gave me some good pointers about where to eat near his place.  Definitely recommended.  "

This was my first airbnb experience and it was very positive. 

Thanks, Ty!"
6478081,35867014,2015-06-22,142776,Spencer,"Ty's place is awesome - clean, sleek and centrally located.  Two major thumbs up.  It was a quick trip, and he couldn't have been more accommodating about what ended up being a late arrival.  I only wish I had met him! "

6478081,36605808,2015-06-29,1309514,Mac,Ty's place is great. His flexible check-in / check-out policy is a nice perk. He's a 20 minute walk from great little restaurants and he's right next to a bus stop. Super easy to get in to downtown Austin.

His place is well decorated, extremely clean, modern and has all the amenities one might need. He also allowed me to bring my cat along, which was a huge help given how tough it is to find great places like this that also allow pets. Thanks again for a great stay,  Ty! "
6478081,44127775,2015-08-24,35840335,Ashleigh,Ty was a great host and an awesome introduction to air bnb. His house is lovely - neat and wonderfully decorated.

We would definitely stay there again :)"
6478081,45017788,2015-08-30,42334132,Rebecca,"Ty's place is first-class.  This was my first experience with Air bnb and it was wonderful.  Ty's place is perfectly set up to make you feel welcome and it's clean, spacious, and beautifully designed.  I was in town for a seminar and was very tired at night.  It was a pleasure to come home to a quiet, peaceful retreat.  Ty was also great in helping me to find places and activities on my first day before the seminar started.  I really appreciated having the local advice, especially since I didn't know anyone in town.  The location made it easy for me to get just about anywhere.  I also had a safe, secure place to park my car.  If I make it back to Austin, I will definitely want a repeat of this experience."

His house was very nice and we had everything that we needed. The room and personal bathroom were both very clean. It was easy to get in and out of the house on our own. Ty was also nice enough to let us do a load of laundry!  I highly recommend staying here when you visit Austin. "
6478081,49303557,2015-10-02,34596958,Edilberto,Awesome room and super comfortable bed! Didn't get to meet Ty but the check in was incredibly easy.

Ty was really nice and did everything right to accommodate us and make us feel at home, we only met Ty in person one of the nights for a couple of minutes since we were out of the house most of the time enjoying Austin but he was very nice to us, we even watch some football together.
Downtown is a 8 minutes Uber ride so I would definitely recommend his place if you want to be near everything. "

Jean was so hospitable and helpful. She sent us a welcome packet in advance of our visit, which included many useful recommendations for making the most of our stay, and she was incredibly responsive to all our questions. The house was beautiful, and we had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay there again  and suggest the same to anybody."

Amazing design and great location, just a few minutes to Rainey where all the action is. I would highly recommend this for your next visit to austin!!!"
2282208,20904184,2014-10-07,2062178,Peter,"honestly can't say enough good things about this place. 

the place: it's as good, if not better, than it looks in the picture. great place for a bigger group. great place if you want to cook for a small group of friends. certainly not a party house, but you wouldn't want to party there anyway.

the hosts: jean was uniquely attentive and helpful. she sent many advance emails and text messages to answer my questions and help prepare my group for the trip. when we got there, she gave a thorough run down of the space and went through the guide book that she made. she also bought some coffee for the group. 

jean and her husbands stayed at the coach house all weekend, but left us alone the whole time.

side note: i had to miss my flight because of work, but jean and her husband were totally cool about letting our group stay that night nonetheless. really, without knowing the rest of the group, this is very cool."
2282208,21282230,2014-10-14,241379,Federico,"Everything was perfect and Jean was very very kind since the beginning, early check out was also very very appreciated.
We found beers and some food for us and that was awesome too!

There is a bike at our disposal that we almost 'lost' because during our stay the owner was about to take it away and give it to a friend who btw was in the house. Nothing too bad but we really needed the bike and a stranger in the house wasn't the best to discover.
not for 800 $ per day :)"
2282208,22355278,2014-11-04,18681925,Dominick,"Jean's house is just as amazing as it looks in the photos.  Everything is brand new and very clean.

The house looks exactly like the pictures and is just as beautifully designed and artfully decorated as the images show.

Would definitely use this house again. Clean, decorated, central location, very nice hosts."

2282208,28117411,2015-03-18,22548304,Ian,"From the moment I booked the place Jean was all over making sure that I was confirmed.  A few days prior to arrival I recieved a welcome pack that went through the house, food, night life and everything I could have ever needed to know about Austin!  The house was beautiful and pictures didn't do it justice.  When we arrived Jean had a great welcome basket as well as meet us in person to walk us through the house.  To top it off she picked up a six pack of local beer, eggs, ham, bread and blueberries!  I highly recommend if you are traveling to Austin to check out this spot!  Thanks Jean for making me feel at home!"
2282208,28385006,2015-03-23,21508111,Shaun,"Jean's house is absolutely beautiful and the pictures don't do it justice. The house was clean, spacious, and felt incredibly homey. Plus, it's in a great location: close enough to downtown where you could walk if you choose.

Also, Jean was amazing throughout the whole process. From the moment we booked to when we finally checked out, she was incredibly thoughtful, welcoming, and responsive. She's the best.

I would definitely book this house through Jean again. "
2282208,29666924,2015-04-11,13636984,Hunter-Kelsea,"Jean and Shane's home was remarkable, a true piece of art tucked in a warm Austin neighborhood.  I was met by Jean when I first arrived, she was very helpful and had even left us a welcome basket on the table with local treats inside. We had access to the entire home, including the fridge where we found local eggs and a few other groceries Jean had purchased for us to enjoy.  The home was spotless and very comfortable. It is located near anything and everything so you won't have to go far to enjoy Austin.  There is a Roaster that lives next door that will make sure you are up bright and early so be aware of that. Also the windows are huge (and gorgeous) so there isn't a ton of privacy downstairs bc of how close the neighbors are.  All in all it was picture perfect and better then we expected!"
2282208,30768771,2015-04-27,11119345,Jason,Wonderful home and neighborhood.  Jean was a tremendous host.  She provided a welcome basket an extremely detailed welcome packet.

Jean was also a great host, before we arrived she sent a detailed visitor's guide and was very responsive.
I would definitely like to stay here again."
932231,3774158,2013-03-13,1978483,Chris,"I stayed in Eric's guesthouse property. I was the first guest in the space and as of March 2013 it was brand new. It's a fantastic contemporary space with a modern bathroom and galley kitchen with luxury appliances, fantastic bed and a walk-in closet with plenty of storage. The rental is in a beautiful residential part of Austin and is less than a mile from downtown, easily walkable in 15 to 20 minutes. Eric was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Would highly recommend either the guest house or main property depending on your needs."

932231,25366952,2015-01-13,411291,Andi,"Eric's place is in a wonderful location in Austin!! Having lived in Austin for over 10 years I know exactly the areas I want to stay when I visit. Within walking distance to cute Clarksville Austin originals like Zocalo (to go margaritas!!) and Jeffery's super fine dining you don't have to go far to feel what Austin is all about. I have stayed at many airbnb rentals, and I am also a host in Portland OR. I was very impressed with everything start to finish! For sure one of the nicest I've stayed in. Very high end quiet residential area provides with a safe area for solo travelers! Additionally it would be a great couples getaway! The apartment is over his garage and is completely new construction. Beautiful windows, floors and finishings. Kitchen is stocked. I stayed on a very cold weekend in Austin and it was so cozy! I imagine it would stay very cool in the summer as well! Eric stocks the fridge with a few breakfast items and there is a one cup pod coffee maker as well. Very nice space, comfortable bed and a full closet to hang things and store suitcases which is nice for a smaller space. The bathroom is beautiful as well, great water pressure and awesome shower. You will not feel cramped in Eric's rental! I can't wait to visit again. Thanks Eric! "

Would go back in a heart beat. "

Perfect size for the two of us; clean and private.  Walking distance to West 6th, biking distance to Zilker, and a cheap Uber anywhere else.  We had so much fun, we decided to stay an extra day.

Thanks y'all.
1746300,8820631,2013-11-19,9228354,Matt,"Renting this loft from Charles was an absolute very pleasant experience; I really enjoyed the decoration of his place, the comfort and of course the great location of his apartment - for those who know Austin, 6th street in downtown Austin is indeed the place you want to be!

When I arrived, Charles was not physically there to let me into his apartment however he emailed me a very detailed and comprehensive list of all the instructions for his place. He also took the time to create an awesome tour video which was very helpful and made me feel very welcomed to use his place.

Charles promptly answered all my phone calls and text messages and he was not only willing to make me feel comfortable at all times but also he gave me lots of tips about things to do in Austin - he is my new friend in Austin, Texas!

I do 100% recommend renting from Charles as I am planning to rent from him once again in the near future.

-Matt Gueiros    "
1746300,10393345,2014-02-17,2117179,Tess,"Charles was a phenomenal host! His video gave a great overview on what to expect at the apartment, plus his map and suggestions on where to go were really helpful. The apartment was very clean and well-stocked. We had no trouble contacting Charles and getting into the apartment was very easy. The location was amazing as it's only about a 10-15 minute walk if you're going out on West 6th, East 6th, or Rainey Street; SoCo is maybe a 10 min taxi ride away, although if you don't mind walking it's only around 30-40 min. Plus it's so close to I-35 that the location is also very convenient for day trips. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it to others!"
1746300,10623326,2014-02-28,1547729,Natalie,"Charles' place is in the heart of the city.  Perfect location for seeing the best of Austin.

Directly across the street there is a Mexican food cart with tables and they have great tacos. Also, the Brew and Brew is a block away and that's an awesome spot for coffee, a breakfast sandwich, and fast wi-fi. 
The owners really have the AirBnB experience dialed in here. Charles kept great communication and accessing the keys was a breeze.
It has a private parking space in a gated lot and they give you an automatic opener for the door to keep in your car while you are staying there.

The loft is conveniently located near several great restaurants in East Austin and the action and fun of downtown/6th Street Austin is just a short 2 minute walk away.  The loft is well decorated and provides amazing views of both downtown and the eclectic art and restaurant scene in East Austin.  

This was my first Airbnb stay and Charles & Amanda went out of their way to make it easy and enjoyable.  Coffee, beer and snacks were provided and the little extras like sundries, earplugs and even contact lens solution and cases were available if I needed them-- nice touch!!     

Upon arrival Amanda provided some great local ""must visit"" restaurants and nightclubs near their loft.  The East Side Showroom has a great happy hour with 1/2 price food and drink specials and Easy Tiger has the best homemade pretzels and wide selection of specialty craft beer.  And, if you are fortunate enough to find and get reservations to Midnight Cowboy I highly recommend going as it is a speakeasy drink experience like no other! 

While I didn't have the opportunity to meet my hosts in person, both Charles and Amanda checked in on my before and during my visit to their loft and made sure that I was comfortable, familiar with the area and that all my needs were met.  

The only slight drawback is that if you are looking for a true second bed, the fold down couch isn't the most comfortable for either seating or sleeping.  However, there is a very comfortable extra mattress under the bed that worked out well.  

Charles and Amanda are exceptional hosts and I know I will stay at their modern loft again on my next trip to Austin, which I hope is soon!

Our host, while away from the apartment, stayed in touch throughout our stay via text and phone. She was very accommodating and helpful in making our trip memorable. The loft space is beautiful and very well maintained.  The listing description is true to its words and I would highly recommend it to anyone. "
1746300,28934960,2015-04-01,27133904,Maya,Charles and Amanda made our first AirBnB experience really a fantastic one. The check in couldn't be easier and their location was very central to everything downtown Austin has to offer. It is a very walking friendly location to the up and coming East side of Austin. The  loft was just as described; very modern and well maintained with some extras like a music area and artwork that made us feel at home. They included detailed check-in information packet with a custom Google map of the area with some great recommendations. I would love to stay here again in the future! 
1746300,29402583,2015-04-07,12428729,Diana,The condo was beautiful and in a convenient area. We could walk to a lot of the places we wanted to go. There was beer and water  in the fridge and coffee/tea in the cupboard which was a nice touch. Upon arrival in the middle of the night we did have some trouble finding the entrance gate so make sure you ask for specific instructions on that. 
1746300,29917135,2015-04-14,25693441,Jason,"Charles and Amanda made my stay in Austin very memorable!
The location of their condo was conveniently located right by all the action on 6th street.  The description of the condo they gave was  accurate.  They were very responsive to any questions I had regarding great places to hang out, and venues with live music. I will definitely be looking to stay here again the next time I am in town."
1746300,30308818,2015-04-20,23161631,Lauren,Amanda and Charles were great from the very beginning! They were incredibly helpful with any questions we had leading up to the trip and  even during it! Their place is in a great location and was the perfect size for 4 people. The one thing I will mention is that the couch/futon is not the most comfortable to sleep on (I was not expecting a pillowtop mattress) so keep in mind if you are booking for 4! 
1746300,30668904,2015-04-26,5441247,Ly,clean property. perfect location. great hosts. great city. couldn't have asked for more. 
1746300,30879841,2015-04-28,2080591,Xuan,"Our host provided information on how to access the place once our check-in was confirmed. Friends and I enjoyed the location very much as it was within walking distance from the State Capitol. Very close to 6th street and all the happenings, a lot of folks walking around so we felt safe enough to walk around. The place had a lovely nighttime view. Nice space with all essentials provided although we ran out of toilet paper x1 day in... The tall windows are great for night views, so be warned that morning lights brings in lots of light! They even provided eye-covers for the one sleeping in the living room area.   The futon would have been uncomfortable for two people as one side has a hard metal beam. The place fit us 3 comfortably. Full kitchen, beer & coffee were provided and made us feel very welcome! There were plenty of pillows, sheets, and blankets in case anyone got cold. The host and hostess let us know that they were always only a phone call or text away; we didn't need to reach out to them much as the apt had most everything we needed! Cheers, I am always thankful for friendly hosts! "
1746300,31240349,2015-05-03,31591254,Kate,"Beautiful Condo in a great location on the Eastside of ATX! Very well equipped to ensure a comfortable stay in downtown Austin with everything you could need! Parking just behind the condo was very useful - you literally can't beat this location! Charles and Amanda ensured we had everything we needed for our stay and checked in with us via sms and email once we'd arrived! Would definitely recommend people check out this gorgeous, stylish condo! Thanks for having us :) we had a GREAT time! "
1746300,31739118,2015-05-09,28939817,Benjamin,"Charles and Amanda were very welcoming and informative about the area. They were quick to respond with tips and suggestions while we were in town. Their condo is centrally located in an easily walkable area. It was clean, modern and comfortable. The neighborhood has plenty of options from morning coffee to a midday food truck to a music infused night cap. The condos were quiet and a relaxing spot to come back to after experiencing some of what Austin has to offer. "
1746300,32068242,2015-05-13,521791,Abigail,"Great apartment, great location! We came to Austin for Psych Fest and this apartment is right where you want to be: there's food trucks across the street and a shop that's open till midnight a block away, not to mention countless bars, restaurants and venues in a 10 block radius. The apt is cool & well decorated & had everything we needed. The balcony is awesome & has a nice view and it was really convenient to have a washer & dryer in the apt! Would definitely stay here again."
1746300,32500072,2015-05-19,25184901,Emily,The condo is great clean and in a great location.  Walking distance to East 6th street and Franklin BBQ. 
1746300,34694104,2015-06-11,27584436,Stephanie,"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin at Charles and Amanda's condo. The location is perfect for walking the city, we walked most places that we wanted to visit and could grab an inexpensive cab ride to everywhere else! The condo itself is very nice and just as described and pictured. It was especially nice to have the full kitchen and washer and dryer in the unit, very convenient! Prior to our arrival, Charles and Amanda were wonderful at staying in touch and answering any questions that we had and even provided a guide to some suggested places to visit nearby. During our visit, they continued to be available by phone call or text if needed and checked in a couple of times to see how our stay was going. We felt very welcomed and would certainly stay again if we find ourselves in Austin!"
1746300,35226898,2015-06-16,11165704,Michael,"Speechless! I was going to start off by saying the place looks just like the pictures, but it's actually better in person, just beautiful! The communication was amazing, the host sent me a recommended list of things I could do while I was down there and did pretty much all of them. Everything is also walking distance which is great. All in all an absolutely amazing stay, I would totally recommended staying here while visiting Austin. I'll be sure to be back soon, cheers!  "

1746300,37721774,2015-07-09,37780358,Jon,Charles and Amanda have a great loft with a great location.  This is a great place to experience downtown Austin from.  Thanks a lot guys!
1746300,38581301,2015-07-17,23444518,Jasmine,"Lovely condo, was as advertised. Great location, short walk to west 6th and heaps of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Hosts very attentive, checking with us during our stay to ensure everything was going well. Would definitely recommend."
1746300,40016388,2015-07-27,38570084,Katy,Great location. Beautiful place with very friendly and helpful hosts!
1746300,42106676,2015-08-11,23859196,Felix,"Charles and Amanda made me feel very welcome and the walk through video on youtube was as accurate as you can get. We were in a great spot in Austin near the grocery store as well the bars going west on sixth. Everything we needed was stocked  for instance we had  plenty of towels, pillows, and blankets. And they let me know about a ice cream festival going down by the lake. "
1746300,46146264,2015-09-08,6041148,Stephen,"Apt looked exactly like the photos, very quiet, despite being so close to everything. We were very happy with our weekend and would definitely be back. The hosts made it so easy, we never had to bother them with anything. A must-rent!"
1746300,47680897,2015-09-21,435448,Derek,"Charles & Amanda's place was an ideal location to explore 6th Street, the surrounding areas and catch the Longhorns game.  The unit provided all the necessities and ample space to spread out and feel at home in Austin.  Great to not have to worry about parking in this area where it can be tough to find a spot!"
1746300,48910087,2015-09-29,3191879,Arlene,This was a cute one bedroom loft! Amanda was very helpful with any questions with just being a text or phone call away! One block walk away from 6th street. Private parking spot in a gated parking lot. 
1746300,49882474,2015-10-07,32057151,Nallely,It was a great place . The apt is very cool and conveniently located. There was always a prompt response from Charles. We enjoyed our stay and would book again! 
1746300,50210787,2015-10-10,44386427,Jordan,"The loft was absolutely perfect & it was in such a cool location. The view from the balcony was pretty awesome & it was walking distance to a lot of cool bars, restaurants & food trucks. Even though we didn't actually get to meet, Amanda was so sweet! She was very responsive & made great restaurant & bar suggestions. This was my first airbnb as well as my first trip to Austin, & highly recommend both! "
1746300,51275953,2015-10-19,332996,Will,"Charles' place is perfectly located. We didn't need a car to get to most of the restaurants and bars that we wanted to go to. That said, it's also so close to the loud parts of downtown that it's not wonderfully quiet at night. The apartment itself is sparsely decorated, but it has everything you need and was clean and set up perfectly when we arrived."
5465761,50716697,2015-10-13,45937785,Brinton,"I have used Airbnb with friends several times, but this was my first experience coordinating an Airbnb. Carolee was wonderful! She responded quickly to my inquiries before arriving and was flexible with last minute changes that come with a last minute trip organized by a couple of guys trying to booze for a 3 day weekend. Once we arrived she offered everything she had to make us comfortable and let us know where we could get boozing supplies and great places to eat. She put up with all of our shenanigans throughout our visit. All around a great host! And her home was incredible!"
5465761,51409167,2015-10-19,18101765,Brooks,"Carolee was extremely welcoming and her apartment practically felt like a hotel! She was very kind and flexible with our check out time and let us use her washer and dryer before leaving. Would definitely stay again, thanks Carolee!"
5465761,52196888,2015-10-26,37736802,Matti,Great host! She was very helpful and friendly.  Apartment was beautiful and in a great location. Private bedroom was spacious and had an attached bathroom. Would certainly stay there again!

222967,1140053,2012-04-16,2020070,Elizabeth,"I highly recommend Lyon and his Bungalow. We stayed here for a weekend trip in April and had a great time. Lyon was attentive and easy to reach for any questions.

The location is great, you can pop over to cute bars and coffee shops in the neighborhood in minutes. The little house is secluded and cozy, the right size for a couple or a few friends.

He has the whole place decked out all swanky, quality linens, beautiful hardware and cute touches. Complimentary snacks and sodas in the kitchen, lovely little soaps in the bathroom.

Spa is amazing.

I can't believe what a great deal it is for the whole package!

This is the perfect place to stay for a quick weekend jaunt in Austin."
222967,1210328,2012-05-01,654532,Tina,"Great bungalow for 2 people!  top of the line craftsmanship, linens, etc.  The shower is awesome and we loved the steam feature.  Rented bikes and found it very easy to get around to amazing coffee shops, bars, restaurants and the lake.  Lyon was a very good host - quick to respond and great with recommendations.  We'll be back."
222967,1414259,2012-06-04,2424073,Karey,"Loved the place! It was very quiet and private.  Perfect place for a romantic weekend. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Austin. Lyon was a great host and answered all of our questions about our stay. It was very welcoming to have the snack basket and drinks in the fridge.  Every day when we got back to the bungalow we felt like we were coming ""home""."
222967,1459060,2012-06-11,2429729,Michael,"The location, amenities, and overall experience was fantastic. Couldn't recommend this place enough."
222967,1626046,2012-07-03,2752462,Deb,"This was my first experience with airbnb and it couldn't have gone more smoothly! To start with, Lyon responded quickly to any questions I had and provided detailed information about the property, check in and the general area. The Bungalow looks brand new and was filled with nice design touches. I also appreciated the coffee and snacks provided for us. My husband and I had never been to Austin before and were both very happy with the location. It was easy to get around, either by walking, bus or a short drive."
222967,2538205,2012-10-08,1767687,Andrew,"If I were to post this review to Twitter, it would be so simple to sum up our stay at Lyon Gegenheimer's Spa Bungalow in Austin:  Lyon pays attention to detail! 

My wife and I spent four days, three nights in Austin this past weekend and Lyon's bungalow was perfectly located and appointed for ensuring that our vacation would be a relaxing adventure.  In all our conversations, Lyon proved to be responsive, informative and helpful, answering my questions quickly and thoroughly.  In fact, when we first met Lyon at the bungalow, he put us at ease immediately - he took the time to talk with us about our stay, suggesting nearby locations for fun and food.  As we talked, I mentioned that we were in Austin to attend the Texas Brew Craft Festival; he returned shortly after our tour of the bungalow with a bottle of a local trippel and offered it to us for our enjoyment.  (Lyon - it was really tasty, thank you!)  

The bungalow is clean and cozy, perfect for a couple like us who value quiet and privacy. Lyon had thoughtfully laid out snacks, coffee and tea on the kitchen counter, and the Jenn-Air fridge included several beverages - soda, beer, tonic water.  The bungalow is furnished sparingly yet perfectly with a small table, a couch, a firm Tempurpedic bed, hi-def TV, free wi-fi and a compact sound system ready to be plugged into your favorite music device.  The real star of the bungalow is the double shower / steam room. After walking around town all day, the steam room is fantastic for unwinding tired muscles.

Downtown Austin is barely a couple minutes away by car, and is well within biking distance if you choose. For those who will be traveling farther in the area, I35 is only blocks away. The flagship Whole Foods Market is less than ten minutes away by car, making it easy for us to pick up some fresh fruits, tasty cheeses and a nice wine to enjoy at the bungalow.

Lyon's Luxe Spa Bungalow is a clean and comfortable space for a couple looking for a quiet base from which to explore Austin. The attention to detail in the bungalow makes relaxation easy!"
222967,2690346,2012-10-22,3855505,Hung,"The house was clean and very modern.  The location was very quiet and felt like a suburban neighborhood.  Plenty of on-street parking.  Very close to downtown Austin and the airport.  This was my first Airbnb house rental, but it won't be my last as this experience was so much better than I could have imagined.  The refrigerator was full free drinks and my wife fully utilized the kitchenette.  The kitchenette and full-size fridge were very useful for storing food and milk for the toddler."
222967,3553411,2013-02-16,4787724,John,"Excellent experience! Lyon was friendly helpful and accommodating when my flights were delayed. Only a short walk to downtown and plenty of places for coffee and food in the local area. 
"
222967,3778829,2013-03-14,140640,Espen,"We were 5 colleagues from Norway staying at Lyon's place during SXSW in 2013, and we had an amazing time. The place is located in maybe the best location of them all for being near the conference and city centre, and still it's in a very quiet and cozy neighborhood. It's walking distance from the convetion center and tons of great restaurants / bars.

Lyon was so kind to give us a ride to pick up bikes we could hire, which really improved our stay; it's great getting around by bike in Austin.

The house was perfect. Lyon got an eye for details, with snacks, drinks, comfortable beds, excellent steam showers, and a very clean house waiting for us.

Stay here if you get the chance! It will make you're Austin-experience a great one."
222967,3810463,2013-03-17,1827854,Jumee,"I stayed at Lyon's bungalow during SXSW 2013 and it was so lovely and comfortable I was tempted to blow off the festival and hang out at the house instead. Lyon and his partner were fun to chat with and very thoughtful. They made sure I had everything I needed, although the house was already well stocked with all the essentials (extra towels, shampoo, and coffee). Location-wise, the house is well situated. It was a quick walk to downtown but also close to many tasty east side eats (Ciscos, Tamale House East, Vintage Heart coffee). I highly recommend!"
222967,7913888,2013-10-08,613521,Dan,"Lyon was an excellent and knowledgeable host.  He spent time with us discussing the local eateries, bars and transportation options over ACL weekend.  The steam shower is awesome. "
222967,10901307,2014-03-12,4056211,Christine,"Lyon was a tremendous host, and the bungalow was absolutely perfect. As a host, Lyon goes above and beyond to make sure his guests have a wonderful time in Austin. He not only knows all the best restaurants, bars, and ways to get around, but he also clearly cares about his neighborhood and properties. He's decorated and outfitted this little bungalow to feel like a private getaway, complete with snacks, coffee, and a completely outfitted kitchen (not to mention the steam sauna!). "
222967,12244893,2014-04-27,7425580,Michael,"We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful bungalow. It was in the perfect location; a short stroll to the east side, Rainey Street and downtown. Plus Lyon was a wonderful host. And as if things couldn't get any better, there was a steam shower. After a long day of over indulgence, nothing brings you back to life like a soothing steam. We'll be back for sure!"
222967,17022884,2014-08-05,10528983,Christopher,Lyon was a tremendous host and had everything ready and organized for us upon arrival. The bungalow was a great place to stay and it was in a great location. We couldn't have been happier with the place and will continue to go back.
222967,20988739,2014-10-09,13648183,Jessie,"We loved the bungalow for our 5 nights in Austin. The bungalow and amenities are beautiful, steam shower was brilliant. It's on a nice quiet street and feels very (email hidden)e location is great, easy walk down town, to the walking tracks on the lake and lots of great bars and food on 6th street. Check in / out was a breeze. Highly recommend. "
222967,21197676,2014-10-13,14613838,Seth,Our stay at the bungalow was fantastic.  We enjoyed our time and the area.  We will definitely stay here again.  Also our host Lyon was great!!
222967,26705432,2015-02-17,1603490,Dan,Great host & accommodations! Lyon was a very knowledgable host and took the time to give us plenty of area recommendations  when we first arrived. Very convenient location. 10/10!
222967,27514287,2015-03-06,8269722,Erin,"Lyon was a wonderful host and his place is magical. I felt like I'd slipped into a little haven. I was here for a conference at the Convention Center. It was totally walkable, and I was very grateful to go home to a wonderful place each evening. And the steam shower is amazing!"
222967,28304208,2015-03-22,8740591,Ryan,"In terms of location and comfort, this was easily the best Airbnb we have stayed at in Austin or otherwise. The property feels secluded but is a few minutes away from the lake, downtown, and eastside restaurants and venues. Despite staying out late and traversing a lot of ground in Austin, we felt rested and refreshed after coming back to the bungalow."
222967,28950513,2015-04-01,28865895,Dave,"The bungalow was great, and Lyon was an amazing host! He gave us a lot of helpful recommendations for our trip and the place was just as described. Would definitely visit again. Thanks!"
222967,31794102,2015-05-10,30265840,Heather,"Even though we were late arriving, Lyon was very gracious when he greeted us and showed us around. We were hungry and he directed us to a great place that stayed open late. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet, but still close to downtown Austin - perfect. The neighborhood has a wonderful coffee shop that we walked to for breakfast. The bungalow was cozy, comfortable, and nicely decorated. I loved the shower! Way better than staying in a hotel."
222967,32598394,2015-05-19,9163619,Sharon,"Lyon was the perfect host. He communicated with us prior to and on the day of arrival to ensure arrival and check-in times so he could be onsite to show us the space.  Location was was great. Definitely within walking distance to most restaurants, cafe's and points of interest (all of which Lyon thoroughly highlighted).

Lyon greeted us at check-in, walked us through the grounds, and pointed out key features of the space. Speaking of which, the space is exactly as it is depicted in the listing, if not better! All the furnishings were updated and modern and the steam shower was awesome :)  

We had a great stay and would highly recommend this to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin. We can't wait to come back!"
222967,52904831,2015-11-02,47029119,Richard,"My girlfriend and I had a blast here!  This was our first airbnb experience and it was very easy and fun.  Lyon was very personable and had great suggestions for restaurants and Austin activities.

We hope to stay here again some day!

4030864,20376056,2014-09-28,539109,Amy,"Amit might be the sweetest host I've ever had. I booked his place for a relatively low-key bachelorette party, and he even bought a bottle of wine for us. The house is as amazing as the pics make it seem.. probably better. The location is amazing -- walking distance to all the bars on Rainey Street and several cool coffee shops in the neighborhood."
4030864,21218627,2014-10-13,21109051,Monica,"My host was really amazing. He checked up on us every other day to see if we were okay and comfortable. He left us a list with recommended places around the neighborhood and restaurants and even left us some treats, like a champagne and some chips as a welcome gift. It was a great choice of apartment, and the neighborhood was great."
4030864,21958360,2014-10-27,20923303,Puthea,"The place was gorgeous and so conveniently located- easily walkable to Rainey or a short cab/Uber to 6th street. We tried a couple places that Amit suggested and really liked them- Cenote for breakfast/coffee and Juan in a Million for breakfast. 

Between the 3 beds and an air mattress/sofa, plenty of room for 7 girls.

Thanks for being flexible with the check in/out times!"
4030864,22167832,2014-10-31,22888399,Arya,"Amit was a great host! He went out of his way to leave some beer in the fridge for us and even stopped by to reset a circuit breaker that we accidentally tripped. The home is clean and charming. It's also in short walking distance to Rainey Street, downtown Austin, and the trails by Lady Bird Lake."
4030864,22235124,2014-11-02,6142307,Varoon,"Great place - super close to Rainey St, close enough to drive anywhere else. He also left a good list of recommendations for us. "
4030864,22526023,2014-11-09,20696373,James,"The host was real easy to work with, the place was a great size, and location was good as well. My group was happy with the accommodations. "
4030864,22830435,2014-11-16,20892289,Michael,"Amit was a phenomenal host and more than accommodating prior to and during our stay at both of his houses (he owns two adjoining units). He kept in contact and made sure we had everything we needed while in Austin. The homes were exactly as advertised, if not better! We had 13 people (6 in one house and 7 in the other) and there was the perfect amount of space. The location is tough to beat - 5 minute walk to Rainey Street and very short cab ride (or reasonable walk) to east 6th Street. I will definitely try to book these units again next time I'm staying in Austin!"
4030864,23043796,2014-11-21,22888399,Arya,"Another wonderful stay at Amit's stylish place. Everything was clean and comfortable. Amit is a great host, very responsive and hospitable."
4030864,26649407,2015-02-16,336258,Vineet,"The place is great. Nice modern design and fantastic location near Rainey Street. Although Amit and I didn't meet in person, he seemed really easy going and flexible in all our emails / messages. I'd book again. "
4030864,26929269,2015-02-22,25665250,Baird,"Amit was a great host.  He was prompt when responding to questions, left beer in the fridge for us and had a perfect house for our group to stay in.  I could not recommend the house and the host more. "
4030864,28067363,2015-03-17,22616733,Lexy,Amit's house was amazing! The Airbnb page was a perfect representation of the space and he made us feel right at home. 
4030864,28729254,2015-03-29,2335758,Eric,"House was clean and well setup when we arrived.  Amit was able to open the house for us earlier than expected, which helped a lot.

"
4030864,29734606,2015-04-12,1120641,Douglas,"Great spot that my friends and I rented along with the neighboring unit. Everything was neat and clean. It's just as the pictures look, bright and airy! Definitely recommend!!"
4030864,30192533,2015-04-19,21661998,Cyrus,"Amit's place is great! 6 of us stayed in his house for a long weekend and had a great time. Things started off well when he welcomed us with chips and beers. It's a short 5 min walk to Rainey St and easy to get an Uber to other parts of the city. Amit also had some great recommendations for activities and made it seem like he wanted us to have a good time. Although we never met face to face, he made the whole weekend real easy to manage. I  highly recommend his place."
4030864,30668434,2015-04-26,27260551,Nell,"Amit left us a beautiful, clean home walking distance from Rainey Street and other neighborhoods we wanted to hang out in. There's a huge kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of space. "
4030864,31670743,2015-05-08,2104426,Ari,The place is just as it looks in the photos. Amit was accommodating and helped with a seamless check in and out.
4030864,32087552,2015-05-13,1207565,Alexander,Second time we've enjoyed Amit's place. Great location. Great experience. We'll stay again.
4030864,32324050,2015-05-17,18987943,Erin,We absolutely loved this place!  The location was incredible.  We were able to walk to a lot of locations or take a quick cab.  The house was the perfect size for our group and we loved the layout.  Amit was also very accommodating and flexible when it came to check in/check out.  I highly recommend this house and would stay here again in a heartbeat.  
4030864,33064893,2015-05-25,25768591,Allison,Amit was a great host! The rentals were perfect for a bachelorette weekend. We rented both sides and had more than enough space for 11 girls. The houses were found perfectly clean and Amit even left champagne for us to celebrate with! The location is great - an easy walk to Rainey street. Amit was easy to communicate with and always had a quick response. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Austin! 
4030864,33678491,2015-05-31,17475148,Emily,"We had a wonderful time at Amit's house in Austin this week. It is exactly as described in his post. His house is beautiful, in the perfect location, and has the worlds most comfortable beds. Amit made it easy to check in and out and left us some great local recommendations.

The house is a 5 minute walk to a little high end grocery store that was perfect for picking up a bottle of wine and some snacks for the weekend. It is also just a few minutes away from Rainey Street, where a lot of fun bars, beer gardens, and restaurants are situated. Other highlights in Austin are more of a walk or just a 5 dollar uber away. "
4030864,37209785,2015-07-05,3955451,Vito,Great Location. Walking distance from Rainey Street.
4030864,38864003,2015-07-19,20778020,Ali,"Amit was a very responsive and communicative host. We really loved his list of local favorite bars and restaurants, as well as the complementary beers that he left in the fridge. We had a wonderful bachelorette party at this very cool house and There was plenty of room for the 5 of us to sleep comfortably. By the way... the beds were SO comfortable. We walked 4 blocks to the coffee shop (Cenote) in the morning and it was a short uber ride to all of the places that we needed to go. Would definitely stay again!!  "
4030864,45923143,2015-09-07,26468701,Sara,"This house is absolutely perfect for our bachelorette weekend. Amit went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed for our stay, he was easy to get a hold of and responsded instantly to all of my questions. This is the perfect house for any trip to Austin. We loved the decor, bright layout, comfy beds, and the fact that we were right in the middle of everything to do both in East Austin and Downtown and Rainey street. We would definitely stay here again! "
4030864,47657096,2015-09-21,19122172,Don,"Amit is a fantastic host.  The place is as advertised.  A bit funky, and very accessible to Rainey Street by foot, and 6th via Uber/Lyft.  

All of our guests found the house extremely clean and well cared for.  

For me, having a host who is super responsive helps alleviate ant concerns about the unknown.  It was clear that if anything went wrong (nothing did), Amit would make it right.  "
4030864,48495522,2015-09-27,30736878,Shari,Very comfortable and Amit was very quick to respond to any questions I had. 
4030864,49595385,2015-10-05,23592635,Cameron,Home was beautiful and perfect location to the bars and restaurants! Would love to stay here again next time we visit Austin. 
4030864,50430316,2015-10-12,33901707,Tanya,"Everything was great! Amit was a very nice host and his place was very serene.  We loved the location and has very restful sleep! The  backyard is awesome! We had everything we needed.  Thanks Amit!! 
"
4030864,51115879,2015-10-18,37613584,Nick,Loved our stay.  Had 10 of us for extended weekend (rented both sides).  The spot was just as advertised.  Quick walk to Rainey St.  Would definitely return again.  
4030864,52051612,2015-10-26,22150928,David,"The host was very welcoming, the listing was accurate, and the neighborhood was quiet, relaxed, and a short walk to Rainey Street.  It was a great stay and perfect for our needs."
363895,8284334,2013-10-23,9054599,Y.,"After 10 days of a beautiful stay here the only thing I say is: 
For the ULTRA cool SOUTH AUSTIN EXPERIENCE stay at Kris' house. Between  Downtown and the Airport Kris will treat you like Family. You come as a guest and you leave as a friend. Highly recommended !!!

"
4638185,26341986,2015-02-09,15895873,Jesse,"Stayed here for a weekend in Austin and had a great experience. What Rosa says is true - the house is a bit of a ""fixer-upper"", but it is perfectly comfortable and has a lot of classic Austin charm. The fenced-in backyard was fantastic for relaxing - there is a fire pit, chairs, and plenty of space for kids/dogs. The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was hot. :) Walked to Zilker Park both days we were there, and loved walking around the neighborhood too. If you're up for a longer walk (20-30 minutes), you can even make it downtown! Though there is no shortage of restaurant/cafe options.  Overall, wonderful host - would definitely return! "
4638185,26476458,2015-02-13,17384159,Lynn,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4638185,26571183,2015-02-15,27447186,Carsen,"Rosa was a great host and communicated with me every step of the way. The landlord Joanne was friendly and helpful when we arrived to the house. The house itself is a adorable and in a PERFECT location, walking distance to Auditorium Shores and restaurants and super close to South Lamar and South First. The kitchen was a little underequipped but it was still workable and the natural light the house got and the great neighborhood more than made up for it. "
4638185,28394079,2015-03-23,5636816,Karen,"Our stay at the Bouldin Bungalow was awesome! Rosa was a great host: very friendly, helpful, and communicative/ready to answer any questions we had. The house was perfect for our SXSW trip, very spacious, comfortable, and cozy - A perfect retreat from the craziness downtown, but also super close! We were near all the cool trailer eateries and amenities. I highly recommend this space for anyone looking for that unique Austin experience!"
4638185,29238491,2015-04-05,1262501,Robert,The location is excellent and the cottage has great charm and enormous potential.  Rosa was very quick to reply and easy to communicate with on arrival and deparure. 
4638185,29760465,2015-04-12,8333390,Will,"We had such a wonderful stay at Rosa's bungalow. She was always quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Her bungalow is super cute, two big bedrooms, fully stocked kitchen, just adorable. The neighborhood is very quiet and seemed perfectly safe. It's within a 5 minute walk of a row of amazing food trucks (including Torchy's!), and about a ten minute walk to Polvos and many more. It was my GF's and my first trip to Austin, and we had no problem walking everywhere. We got to Zilker Park, Downtown, UT, over to La BBQ. We had such a great time in Austin, and it was nice having a comfy and home-feeling place to return to each nice. Definitely recommend. "
4638185,30256697,2015-04-19,24154084,Luis,Overall a quaint experience in Austin. Would definitely recommend!
4638185,30949478,2015-04-29,30903484,Bets,Rosa's bungalow is in such a perfect location with great surrounding neighborhood and parks. Perfect for walking and the bus runs so closeby as well. It's a diamond in the rough with charm though in process of being fixed up. The unique character might not be fancy or updated enough for some people but it has very comfortable furniture and attractive touches throughout. We loved it.  Rosa went out of her way for our late arrival and was always helpful . Thank you. Can't wait to go back!
4638185,31263054,2015-05-03,6156042,Alice,"Rosa was very responsive and let us check in early. The bungalow was exactly as described in the listing - very cozy, cute and quaint. It was in a great location - close to downtown, South First and South Congress so it was easy to get around and explore Austin. The bed in the back bedroom was extremely comfortable. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our first trip to Austin and would gladly stay here again!"
4638185,32078916,2015-05-13,7483014,(email hidden),"Rosa's place was fabulous! Super cute and spacious, and Rosa made it a very pleasant stay. Her neighborhood is very nice and safe. I walked at night to South Congress without any problems. I would stay at Rosa's place again. "
4638185,32996118,2015-05-24,31681454,Adam,"Rosa was very welcoming, the bungalow is in perfect location for access to the city and parks, would gladly stay again"
4638185,33754506,2015-05-31,34399559,Anthony,Rosa was very responsive and helpful. The rental was very serene and close to downtown. Everything was in working order. 
4638185,34759078,2015-06-11,32365278,Matt,"If you are looking for somewhere generic, sterile, and cookie cutter DO NOT STAY HERE.  
If you want to experience Austin for what it is:  Unabashedly original, quirky, funky, fun, and amazing, Rosa's place is perfect.
The place was clean, well decorated, and the beds are incredibly comfortable.  Sure, there are some oddities like having the light switch to the bathroom located in the kitchen and some other quirkiness, but I loved staying here so much I extended my stay by another night.
"
4638185,34840757,2015-06-12,32365278,Matt,My initial stay was so great I extended it by a day.
4638185,34915321,2015-06-13,35253952,Matthew,This is a great location and great value. The house is very unique and has lots of character. Would definitely book again. WiFi is available but is a bit on the slow side and doesn't cover the back room. The king size bed is a bit hard but the other bed is better. 
4638185,35034530,2015-06-14,35307138,Jeffrey,This house is perfect for visiting Austin. The rooms are quite big with wonderful antique decorations and big comfy beds. The location is right in the heart of the city and you couldn't ask for a nicer house. Our host also surprised us with an early check in.
4638185,35280938,2015-06-16,15178582,Craig,Great house and great host. We blew into town last minute and were very well taken care of. 
4638185,36475292,2015-06-28,19410300,John,"We felt very welcomed.  Very quaint, and  bit ""funky"" in term of decor which we really liked.

For the price, it was a good value

 That said, the house had moldy/mildew odor especially in the rear bedroom which made sleeping for those of us with allergies a bit difficult, especially with windows not being able to open."
4638185,36837779,2015-07-01,26730751,Bryan,Rosa Dasilva's Bungalow has a true Austin vibe. Nestled in the south Austin neighborhood it is within walking distance to a host of hotspots including Zilker Park and Town Lake. The house has a lot of personality and was perfect for a two night stay. Rosa provides all the necessities for a fun stay in Austin. 
4638185,36994579,2015-07-03,36092603,William,Great Location with easy access to restaurants and nearby attractions.  Convenient arrival and departure and Rosa was easy to contact.  The Bungalow provides for a pleasant stay and in a nice neighborhood with approachable neighbors.
4638185,37269047,2015-07-05,34776482,Mark,Rosa's was awesome. Super close to everything. Very clean. Perfect spot to stay in Austin. I give a strong 2 thumbs up (5 stars) to Rosa's!
4638185,38238135,2015-07-13,22070188,Chris,"The house was great! Everything was tidy and the beds were comfortable. Location was convenient to everything we wanted to do (Barton Springs, water sports, South Congress,  6th street)!

I would recommend it! 
"
4638185,38940442,2015-07-19,22653017,Nate,"What a great place to stay in Austin!  You can walk to many great restaurants, food trucks, etc and really beautiful homes all around.  We very much enjoyed our stay here and would happily stay at Rosa's place again!"
4638185,39876879,2015-07-26,19189741,Chad,"Rosa was a very accommodating host, allowed us to check in early, and the location was perfect and central to so many great things in Austin. The listing was as expected, and most importantly the neighborhood was quiet and the beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!"
4638185,41678091,2015-08-08,39628275,Savanah,"Rosa responded promptly.  I enjoyed my stay because it was close to everything. If you have allergies, this location would not work.  There is only one bathroom and the dryer does not work.  My husband did not like it.  He wanted to a hotel after coming inside and finding a big roach and other bugs. I think it was just from the house being empty for a while.  It got better after the 3rd day. There was a lot of pet hair on the covers in and out. The most comfortable bed is the queen bed. The second bedroom had the bed on the floor. This place works if you don't have allergies. It is pet friendly.  There was so much dust on the vents, ceilings fans and curtains. I did let the host know. We didn't use the front or backyard because the grass was too high. I would recommend this place for the location alone and the comfort of the 1st bed.  Austin itself was awesome!!"
4638185,42609760,2015-08-14,14742004,Remington,"Rosa was very flexible with our itinerary and communicative about the house rules and policies. The Bungalow is chic, vintage establishment that's been weathered to a colorful personality through its tenure. It might remind you of a/your grandmother's home and is stacked with many essentials for those staying more than just a night or two (plates, cookware). "
4638185,44685499,2015-08-28,8927550,Sarah,"Great neighborhood. Very quiet and close to a lot. It suited our needs since it is kid and pet friendly. You'll find a cute gift basket upon arrival, which is sweet. Rosa's place looks just like the photos. Plenty of places to sit but fairly sparse. The furniture/beds are comfortable and the A/C worked great during our high 90s - 100 degree stay. Water pressure and hot water is good. The kitchen left me wanting (we love to cook and had a lengthy stay) but we made it work. There's a camper next to the house which may or may not have someone in it. We didn't feel intruded on though. It's Texas - so the grass may be dry, you may get a bug or two, and it might be a bit dusty. If you know that going in, you should be perfectly comfortable for a couple nights. Rosa communicates well so if you need anything, she responds quickly."
4638185,44995842,2015-08-30,2423513,Margarita,"Rose was very prompt with her response, and made the transaction very easy, we didn't get to meet her, but gave us a code to get in and left a cute welcome package for us. The place is as shown on the pictures it suited our needs for the outdoor activities we wanted to do, the neighborhood is very quiet and easy to get to and real close to Zilker Park.  The Beds were very comfortable, and lots of fun restaurants nearby. "
4638185,46049440,2015-09-07,1208697,Michelle,"Rosa made us feel very welcome. She was a very clear communicator, and made sure that we checked in and out easily. Although the house is a bit older (which she clearly communicated and was our expectation going in), it was very clean, pleasantly quirky, comfortably charming, and just what we needed for a fun friends' weekend in Austin. The location is perfect, especially if it's your first time to Austin, because it's close to everything. Would definitely recommend!"
4638185,46840559,2015-09-13,12681533,Joshua,Location and price! Everything we needed was there. Rosa was very communicative. No frills. Great neighborhood. 
4638185,49003957,2015-09-30,40236416,Jd,"This was my fist time using Airbnb and Rosa was great about answering any questions I had about how everything worked leading up to my stay. The house is very cozy and has a lot of Austin charm. I slept in the front bedroom and the bed was very comfortable. Rosa was available for any questions I had during my stay, but left me to enjoy my stay beyond that. The neighborhood is quiet, but very close to downtown, and Lamar, the main street near the neighborhood, has many restaurants and shops."
4638185,49433736,2015-10-04,5229616,Andrea,"The listing was very accurate! The house was a little older and eclectic, but everything was clean and available.  It was so nice to have a Keurig available for coffee in the morning.  Rosa was helpful and communicative.  Great location for ACL or other events in Zilker Park!"
4638185,50285795,2015-10-11,32792984,Veronica,Definitely a true Austin Bungalow! It was the perfect place for my group to stay. It is walking distance to many places and decorated to fit the feel of Austin. Would definitely stay here again!

347654,3787523,2013-03-15,1767453,B Carter,Lovely house. Lovely host. Lovely town.
347654,28168841,2015-03-19,11403964,Kat,"Everything was amazing! Beautiful home in a great location, really wonderful and relaxing vibe to the whole place. And Charm was fantastic -- she greeted us at check-in and showed us the house and explained how everything worked. Everything in the house throughout the stay was perfect -- comfortable rooms, great kitchen with everything we needed, and convenient location for us to bike downtown each day. On the tail end of the trip, Charm was so so wonderful and accommodating. She let us (and our bags) hang out at the house for a few extra hours while we figured out our next move, let us leave our things while we went to grab dinner, and even offered us a ride to the next place we were staying! She was so warm and friendly and made us feel at home. The house is full of good vibes and I'm sure if we lived in Austin we'd want to hang out there all the time. Thanks so much for everything, Charm!"
347654,30801983,2015-04-27,10295262,Erin,Charm has a great home in a perfect part of Austin. All 7 guests slept comfortable and enjoyed their stay! Thank you Charm! 
720315,4596459,2013-05-14,5560840,Anne,"The Condo was centrally located to enjoy all the sights of Austin. It was clean, modern and had a very comfortable bed.  David was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home.   At the end of each day we looked forward to the tranquil time we spent sitting on the dock watching the sunset.   I would highly recommend this location! "
720315,10918324,2014-03-13,5423658,Johnny,"David was a great host. He gave very clear instructions regarding the condo and amenities, and provided tips about the local area. Thanks!"
720315,11813082,2014-04-15,377071,JoLynn,"David's condo was a super great place to stay in Austin! It was exactly how described while being clean, easy, and comfortable. David gave me all the information I needed ahead of time and was quick to respond before and during the stay if I had any questions. The location is fantastic and it was fun to start and end our days sitting on the patio looking out over the lake. "
720315,20192259,2014-09-25,5538119,Christopher,"David's condo is perfect! Great location, very spacious and clean. Awesome view of the lake and of Austin. Check in and check out was extremely simple. I would love to stay here again. Thanks David!"
720315,20289866,2014-09-27,7307381,Sarah,"this location cannot be beat. wonderful views, and David's place was clean and fully equipped and David was a gracious host. you can hear the neighbor's footsteps upstairs, but it is a overall quiet condo complex with respectful people. "
720315,20821762,2014-10-06,8808264,Brittanya,The place was so awesome I couldn't asked for better. It looks just like the posting and I'd in a good location. Love that the family recycles. Next time will maybe try a paddle board!
720315,21284610,2014-10-14,12743983,Danielle,"We were in town for the Austin City Limits music festival and this was a great place to come at the end of the day.  The view is beautiful out to the river, and there is very easy access to the trail that runs along the river.  We actually walked the 2.8 miles to the venue 2 of the days.  Access to downtown, the airport, shopping, restaurants is all very easy.  The condo is gated and this particular unit is at the back of the complex so it all felt very safe.  The bed was super comfy!  There are neighbors above the unit but their living space is not over the bedroom so while we could hear them walking around in the living room, we never heard them from the bedroom.  This is a great spot and we would definitely stay there again.  "
720315,22235948,2014-11-02,21193402,Mike,David's condo was a clean and quiet place to unwind in Austin. We loved the great view of the water and the easy access to Downtown and South Congress. The interior is fantastic and exactly as pictured in the listing. Thanks!
720315,25608176,2015-01-20,4692869,Allison,Loved staying at David's place! Communication was fantastic and the digs were exactly what we expected. Beautiful location right on the water. Totally recommend.
720315,26314894,2015-02-09,19629594,Grant,"Our stay here was perfect. The condo was very clean and welcoming. It is the perfect location for a visit to Austin. You can walk out the back patio to the lake, or walk down the street to get happy hour at at one of the local restaurants.  We were very impressed by the views from the back patio and the gated parking was a plus. The owner was prompt in his correspondence as well. We highly recommend this condo."
720315,29401252,2015-04-07,23505882,Ann,David was great to work with. He was responsive to all emails and texts and gave us good suggestions for music venues. The condo was perfect for our visit. Close to town in a beautiful location. Loved watching the people and boats go by from the patio. Easy access to the river walk was a bonus. 
720315,33227559,2015-05-26,6548997,James,David was a great host! The condo is in an amazing spot and the amenities were fantastic! Highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a great spot in Austin!

207054,663642,2011-10-25,1181812,Ben,"Our stay at Merri and Donald's house was nothing short of incredible.  The property was even more amazing than it appeared in the pictures and description.  It is apparent that they love to entertain, as they have thought of everything to make their home comfortable.  

The relaxed, mid-century design mixes seamlessly with modern conveniences: the 1970's stereo/turntable combo in the living room is wired to an extra speaker in the bathroom (great when you're getting ready in the morning), the beautiful wooden mantle is home to an HDTV, and the retro kitchen (with reliable, well-maintained appliances) includes a microwave and coffee maker.  The beyond adequate bedding in both rooms provided for a sound night's sleep, and each room contained plenty of closet and drawer space.  One of the best features of the house is the back patio, which had plenty of chairs (both stationary and rocking) and tables, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee while basking in the perfect Austin weather.
 
Merri and Donald actually live downstairs of the house, but we never noticed them there at all.  Merri popped up twice to say hi (once at the beginning and once towards the end--with her awesome black lab!), and we chatted like old friends.  She's incredibly easy going and welcoming, and we only wished that we were staying the next weekend so we could come to their epic sounding backyard Halloween party.  

I wholeheartedly recommend this place if you want the real Austin experience: a funky abode in a quiet neighborhood and the friendliest hosts you could ever ask for."
207054,796380,2011-12-20,800779,Carmelita,"We stayed at Merri's house for a week.  It was even cooler in person than we thought.  Definitely a ""wow"" house.  We loved that everything down to the games in the drawers (1960's Ouija board) was in keeping with the period.  The vintage stereo with speakers wired into the bathroom is a big plus and makes the place very vibey.

We were a tad bit skeptical when we saw they live in the back and have a dog as we wanted privacy and quiet.  This was not an issue AT ALL.  We never even noticed they were there as you cant see where they live at all and we never heard their dog bark once.  We met them when we first arrived, they were very laid back and their dog was beyond sweet with us and our 2 children.

The neighbourhood is very cute and close to everything - less than 5 mins to South Congress and close to the East side.  Lovely parks nearby for the children to play.

Overall they were very attentive hosts when we needed them and the house was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We would love to make this the place we stay every time we come to Austin.  Definitely recommend! "
207054,825121,2012-01-02,1478557,Elizabeth,"great house, we loved our stay. "
207054,970493,2012-03-05,1482921,Jane,"Merri Gale & Donald (or as our daughter refers to them: the cute couple downstairs) are wonderful hosts! We enjoyed staying in their beautifully decorated home, filled with natural light, while we were remodeling ours. The vintage stereo system with turntable speakers in the bathroom is a concept we just had to copy. A nice touch, indeed! We walked the hilly neighborhood daily and tried a few of the creative food trailers nearby. The shopping and restaurants on S. Congress are so close, too!  We highly recommend it!"
207054,998629,2012-03-14,1371080,Jennifer,My coworkers and I stayed here during the SXSW and it was a great housing option for us. Merri Gale was a fantastic host and the house was charming and beautiful. I would definitely recommend it!
207054,1386111,2012-05-30,2026824,Joe,"This house was in a very convenient location in Austin.  It was exceptionally clean, well-provisioned, and quiet.  Could not have expected anything more.  "
207054,2468789,2012-10-01,370880,Brittany,We stayed in Donald and Merri's home and absolutely fell in love! The decor and charm of the place completely won us over! The location is very convenient and Donald was a great host.  We will definitely stay there again and would absolutely recommend the home to any visitors to Austin. Especially if you have an appreciation for Mid Century design.
207054,2542734,2012-10-08,1511215,Abra,"I came with my mother and kids for a long weekend. The house is just as pictured only a little a better. The space has a great layout and everything is very comfortable, clean, and organized. The neighborhood is quite and Merri Gale and Donald are very kind and helpful. The location was perfect for us b/c we mostly had planned activities in southern Austin, so 5-10 minutes to SoCo and Zilker park, plus the airport is also very close. "
207054,2615669,2012-10-15,3532381,Joanne,"Merri Gale and Donald's place was perfect for a bachelorette weekend in Austin! We loved the decor and personal touches throughout the house and Merri Gale was incredibly responsive, really helpful and friendly but never intrusive during our stay. Would definitely recommend this house and these hosts to other visitors to Austin!"
207054,2736145,2012-10-28,2244177,Luke,"This house is so nicely done: it's a real pleasure to spend time in it. Merri Gale and Donald were excellent hosts - they were easy to communicate with, had the house very clean and tidy for our arrival, and made sure we were okay once we arrived and that we had everything we needed. Merri Gale came and said hi - with lovely clumsy dog friend (sorry, I forgot his name!) - and even came over while we were out to leave us some sneaky (and delicious) pastries! Excellent, and recommended.

207054,2808360,2012-11-05,3054864,Jodi,Really great house and location!!
207054,3625450,2013-02-26,3068588,Prabhat,"We had a very pleasant week long stay at Merri Gale and Donald's house. The house is well laid out and has a very open feel about it. It is filled with charming decor and knick knacks throughout the house. It's a relaxing retreat to come back to after exploring Austin's attractions. 

The neighborhood is nice and quiet and still most of the Austin action is within 5 to 10 minutes drive from the house.
 
Merri Gale and Donald were awesome hosts, who made sure of our comfort and well being all through our stay. Our son enjoyed playing with their goofy dog, Johnny. Everything in the house worked without a hitch. 

We would definitely recommend this place to other Airbnb users and to any of our friends visiting Austin."
207054,3716779,2013-03-07,893476,Noah,We had great time at Merri and Donald's place. The house is beautiful and is just as described. They always responded quickly to emails and were very helpful.
207054,3779219,2013-03-14,3152532,Melanie,"A wonderful experience from start to finish. It's a wonderful rental and Merri Gale and Donald couldn't be nicer of more attentive hosts.  Booking, communication and coordination was easy. The home itself is fantastic and Merri Gale was so helpful with recommendations for exploring the local area. Wonderful experience all around, highly recommend."
207054,3896235,2013-03-25,1885616,Efrat,We had a truly wonderful stay at Merri Gale and Donald's house. The house was so thoughtfully decorated and maintained with a lot of love. It was such a nice retreat—everything from the record player  and sound system to the streaming sunlight throughout the house to the balcony to enjoy morning coffee on was just lovely.   
207054,4286281,2013-04-24,5897511,Gayle,"Full disclosure: Merri Gale & Donald are 2 of our favorite neighbors. We leased their top floor so that we would have enough space for numerous family members arriving for a wedding. We knew that our guests would love the charming house as well as MG & D!! Naturally, we were correct.  It was the perfect abode: simple, attractive, clean and close to other family one house away.  All guests commented on the great interior furnishings and layout. Porches and front yard were also a big hit. "
207054,4360099,2013-04-30,2275855,Attalie,Loved our stay here! The house was well lit for our after dark arrival and Merri Gale is the most thoughtful and helpful host! It really felt home here and had a perfect location. The house is beautiful and exactly as pictured.
207054,4689808,2013-05-20,191466,Ken,"When we travel to Austin to we look for a place where it is easy to relax and cook. Our visits are always family visits so we are often looking for a place where we can cook relax and have a friend or family member comfortably visit for an afternoon. Merri Gale and Donald's place was perfect for this.

The house was comfortable and the interior design was interesting but in no way oppressive. They obviously care very much about design and comfort. We never met them but all our communications were easy and things went very smoothly. 

Highly recommended for a group of two to four adults or a couple with one or two (gentle) children."
207054,4844461,2013-05-28,362017,Selina,"Loved this house! Merri Gale was a perfect host. She gave us such helpful tips on what to do and where to eat while we were in Austin. The house is so interesting and cozy. We stayed in one night just to listen to her records on the sweet record player she has. So perfect. its a great location, not totally walkable to downtown but not too far either. I would definitely stay here again. "
207054,4972589,2013-06-04,113142,Douglas,It was a beautifully decorated house. Felt like we were living a Mad Men episode. 
207054,5717675,2013-07-13,2496412,Alissa,"I can honestly say, I have never been more comfortable and felt more at home while traveling than I did at this 60's styled home! The place was perfectly located, amazingly decorated & had a super relaxed atmosphere! I actually added 2 more nights to may stay because I didn't want to leave! Merri & Donald are super friendly & were totally on top of helping us out whenever we needed it, I only wish I could have gotten to know them better, they are super inspiring! Hope to stay again soon!
"
207054,6214711,2013-08-04,6366559,Jennifer,Beautiful home and beautiful hosts.  We needed a home to record our first album and the place provided a much needed dose of comfort and inspiration.  We hope to be back soon.  Keep Austin Weird!  -Jenn and Kirk of Lady & West
207054,7006375,2013-09-03,4886894,Korin,"We had a great time in Austin, staying at Merri & Donald's home made it even more special and gave the unique at-home feel to our visit.   We loved the proximity to all the sites that we enjoyed exploring.  
Here's the map I created for our visit: (website hidden)
"
207054,11831427,2014-04-16,12502583,Race,This place was amazing. The mid century modern furnishings were funky and cool. The  retro stereo was wired throughout the space. The location was convenient for visiting South Congress  and downtown. I highly recommend and will consider again for future trips.
207054,19695943,2014-09-16,2554162,Mikael,"Before arrival, we had trouble with our connecting flight from Washington to Austin which delayed our arrival with a day. That wasn't a problem though since access to the house was gained with a code key which made it flexible. Upon arrival, the house was everything we hoped for. Fresh, clean and with a beautiful location both near downtown and the Colorado River's running trails. If you appreciate details in decorating, you're gonna love the interior of the house which was very classy. Also, the porch was beautiful to sit on after a morning run with a glas of juice as well as in the evening, drinking a beer and just enjoy the quiet neighborhood before hitting downtown. Highly recommended!  "
207054,21794159,2014-10-24,14166288,Adam,Great house.  Very welcoming.  Close enough to everything but private and some great views.  I would stay there again most definitely.
207054,22376586,2014-11-04,486213,Stacey,"Convenient location, clean and killer mid-century decor. We loved the record player and good vibes in this charming home. Something to note, the home has an attached unit downstairs, but it wasn't an issue for us. Great hosts and overall a great experience!"
207054,24888766,2015-01-03,4886578,Irene,"Merri's house is gorgeous. Perhaps one of the most beautiful and well curated spaces that I have had the pleasure to stay in. A lot of our stay had conversations surrounding the pieces that we felt so fortunate to be around. Merri was also incredibly welcoming and came to greet us the night of our arrival. All of us loved her, her stories and the place she put together. One of the things that we all had a little trouble with was that the beds are not very comfortable. Other than that, Merri is in a hidden, undiscovered oasis of Austin."
207054,25209032,2015-01-09,14166288,Adam,Great place to stay in Austin.  The listing describes it well.  Like having another home.  Very relaxing and quiet.  My go-to spot in Austin.  Hosts are super nice too!
207054,27164121,2015-02-27,14166288,Adam,Another great stay.  Exactly what I was hoping for.  The house was clean and fresh as always.  A quiet place to rest after work.  
207054,27303424,2015-03-01,25105934,Nate,Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Location was awesome for everything we did in Austin. We never even turned the tv on and radio setup was really cool. Had a great time.
207054,28301960,2015-03-22,4104636,Gillian,I stay here with some colleagues for SXSW. Merri Gale & Donald are awesome!! House is charming and warm with incredible mid-century decor. Location is in a cute quite neighborhood and a short 30 min walk or cheap cab ride to Downtown or SoCo.
207054,35464973,2015-06-19,14166288,Adam,"I love staying here.  Like a home away from home.  A nice quiet spot, clean and hospitable.  "
207054,36981828,2015-07-03,14166288,Adam,I love staying here.  Quiet and peaceful.  Close enough to most everything but off the main road and tucked away close.  Great hosts.  A well cared for property that is like a home away from home.
207054,46001029,2015-09-07,41179736,Yanni,"Merri Gale and Donald were wonderful, receptive, and welcoming.  The house is beautiful, and you can tell that they put a lot of love into every detail, every decoration and furnishing. Would definitely stay again! "
207054,48656719,2015-09-27,8134625,Martha,"Very comfortable house for a fun weekend in Austin!! Love the retro feel. Really convenient location for heading out for food & drinks on 6th, and easy access to everywhere else in the city.  "
207054,50982012,2015-10-16,46144346,Darina,We (3 adults) stayed in this house for 2 nights mid october 2016 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Retro feel throughout the beautifully decorated house. Roomy enough so that we felt like we all had enough space but not too big. Parking right outside but tough neighbourhood to walk in as there are no footpaths to get to the store / post office. Great location for driving around austin but found the bus system confusing and hard to locate the best bus stop. 
5303804,30778890,2015-04-27,4509789,Wesley,"Lyon was an excellent host for our group's long weekend in Austin. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. It had all the amenities we could have wanted. Lyon was very helpful and organized, and he had lots of great recommendations for the area. The location was perfect: walking distance to Rainey Street, downtown, and plenty of east-side institutions (e.g., the White Horse, Liberty, Cisco's). I definitely would recommend staying here. Thanks for a great weekend, Lyon!"
5303804,31313588,2015-05-04,8925982,Peter,Lyon was a great host!  The home was lovely and very well stocked.  He provided us with a wealth of information and suggestions about the neighborhood and the city as whole.  The neighborhood was in a residential section of Austin but walking distance from both the Rainey St and East 6th St bar strips.  Overall would stay again here!
5303804,32579350,2015-05-19,2741319,Don,"Lyon was very hospitable and the house is great. Excellent location and comfortable amenities, just as advertised. My friends and I had a perfect weekend in Austin, in part thanks to our stay at the guesthouse."
5303804,32995742,2015-05-24,31616323,Davin,"The house is in an ideal location to access the city and could not have been better for our weekend.

Everything was clean and ready to go and Lyon showed me the house and how things work in 5 minutes and we were good to go.

I highly recommend this property and it was great to see a home that looked as good; if not way better in person than it does in the pictures.

The beds and bathrooms in this house are FAR ABOVE your average rent house or hotel room. Usually they have the cheapest things you can get thrown in them - But not this place!

Great beds and awesome bathrooms with the steam shower being an excellent way to recover from a long night out."
5303804,37225373,2015-07-05,25747053,Wei-Fu,Lyon was great and very accommodating!  I hadn't researched much into East Austin and was excited to find so many interesting bars and restaurants - Lyons recommendations were on point.  I also found it reassuring that Lyon was staying next door even though absolutely nothing went wrong during our stay.  Lyon was also respectful of our space and we enjoyed having drinks on the front porch.  The only thing I will add is that there is another less renovated structure behind the house and at night it can be a little eerie.  The steam function in the shower was a nice touch!
5303804,49421484,2015-10-04,32688784,Maryssa,"Lyon was an extremely welcoming host and the property is just as it is in the pictures: beautiful. It was perfect for a group of us attending ACL and I would recommend it for anyone staying in Austin. This beautiful property is on a nice, quiet street that is easy to reach by cab or Uber-even during ACL surge, we never paid more than $15 a ride. The rooms are spacious and lovely and the place was sparkling and had every amenity we could have wanted. Everything was perfect and all of our guests agreed we would love to stay here again!"
5303804,50428008,2015-10-12,15096944,Nina,"Lyon's guest home was absolutely beautiful. A group of 8 us were in town for ACL and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is located just a short drive from downtown, a bike ride to the park and there were great places for local food and coffee shops. The house manual was quite extensive as it was our go to multiple times for transportation, sites and food suggestions. Definitely will contact Lyon again when I'm in town for an event, as well as recommend his guest home to others."
6613299,34612802,2015-06-09,33056046,Kelly,"Amy was an excellent host!  I was traveling with my niece and I really enjoyed that we had separate rooms.  The best part of all was the amazing shower.  I'm not sure what's so special about it, but it makes you feel like a new person when you are done.  "
6613299,34825279,2015-06-12,2794923,Jules,"I grew up in this part of South Austin & was super excited to stay in my old stomping ground on a recent visit.  The neighborhood is even better now than it was back-in-the-day & Amy is a great host- helpful & friendly without being intrusive.  My boyfriend and I loved the authentic Austin memorabilia, and being in walking/ biking distance to downtown, restaurants, music, and bats!!  It was a great way to re-visit my hometown.  Plusses about this hide-away are: private entrance, comfy living room with mini-fridge, loads of power outlets, and a modern bathroom with plenty of hot water & good pressure.  It was like we had our own South Austin bungalow- we will definitely stay here next time we're in town.  LOVED IT!  "
6613299,41890265,2015-08-09,11195967,Camilla,We had a wonderful stay with Amy & Mark. The flat is in great location in SoCo near all the buzzy bars and restaurants - they gave us awesome recommendations. It is also near the bus which takes you directly into town. We had access to the front porch and we used both bedrooms and the sofa bed was more than a comfortable sleep. Amy & Mark were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. Would highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Austin!
6613299,42045350,2015-08-10,26903608,Idil,"Super helpful and flexible, Amy was a very kind host. Location of the listing is AMAZING! Definitely would consider staying here again. "
6613299,49764340,2015-10-06,22572565,Isabelle,A really well located gem in Soco. We spent a very agreeable four nights here. Amy was a super host and gave us some very helpful recommendations.
6613299,50629434,2015-10-13,40698932,Chelsea,"The description was accurate, Amy was great and super responsive"
6613299,51325634,2015-10-19,12743022,Steve,"The description was accurate in all aspects.  We enjoyed staying here based on the convenient walking access to so many food trucks, restaurants and shops.  The place is located in a safe feeling neighborhood and the place was very clean and quiet.  I also appreciated the resident parking pass that was provided otherwise it would be hard to find parking.
I would definitely consider staying here again on a future trip "
6613299,51772958,2015-10-24,8637458,Rebecca,"I loved this place! Amy was friendly, welcomed me when I got there and showed me around, and generally available via texting or phone if I needed anything. 

The room(s) are fantastic, I really loved all the decor in the main bedroom, with the big vintage sign and concert posters. The bed is comfy and the sheets were soft. The bathroom was equally nice, with a really great shower. Not the world's most spacious bathroom, but Amy has the space set up well. 

I was a little concerned with having the bedroom be right up front, but it's a very quiet cute street/neighborhood, so that wasn't a problem at all."
4053278,20846031,2014-10-06,6656885,Taisia,"We rented Lisa's apartment for ACL and it was the perfect place! Not only could we walk to Zilker Park, but Lisa made sure that we had everything from directions to a spare key to snacks. Her home is comfortable and we easily slept 4 people between her upstairs bedroom and the downstairs fold out couch which was just as comfortable. I highly recommend the apartment for a fun outdoor trip to Austin and hope to stay there again soon!"
4848222,27686451,2015-03-09,28001500,Luzia,"Though we had a bit of a rough start, once we aligned the 
contact with Jesse was most pleasant and easy-going.
I wasn't a guest at the house myself but the colleagues staying
there were very happy with the accommodation and easy
arrangement for arrival, departure, keys etc.
We certainly recommend Jesse and his place for a stay in
Austin and would be more than happy to have him as a host again!"
4848222,28331327,2015-03-22,3765127,Saverio,"Jesse is a very nice guy and was very helpful during the whole stay. Great Flat and location, highly recommended!"
4848222,28722619,2015-03-29,28405870,Paul,"Place was awesome!! Designed very well with a home away from home feel to it. Great location, within minutes of downtown Austin"
4848222,29180416,2015-04-05,27245412,Laura,"A group of us went to Austin for the first time and it was a perfect trip. Jesse was easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating. We had 6 people, and had plenty of room. Rustic feeling and design of the house were great perks, and the large living room space was perfect for our group (not to mention the huge comfortable couch). 

We were generally out and about most of the weekend so we weren't there a whole lot. But it was a perfect ""home base"" and when we were there, it had everything we needed. 

It's close enough to downtown and E 6th that you wouldn't need to rent a car, but we were happy we did - allowed for some flexibility during our stay. 

Great weekend and great host!"
771437,50541145,2015-10-12,43723409,Jordan,Daniel and his wife Jamie were the best hosts. They were extremely friendly and inviting. The house was spotless and in a great location. 
5125038,29664271,2015-04-11,20583177,Cara,"Amazing house / looks like a cottage from the outside, but is huge and charming. Open flow from kitchen to living room is great for families and neighborhood is v walkable. Super close to downtown. Would definitely use again!"
5125038,31958051,2015-05-12,30875925,Juan,"When we arrived, owner of the home was there and made us feel welcomed.  Great experience.  House is  very clean, and is minutes away from the UT campus, HEB and restaurants. We did not experience any problems.  Description of the house is 100% accurate.  "
5125038,34543608,2015-06-09,32196348,Dalton,"The stay was great! We loved the look of the place, everything was nice and tidy upon arrival, and Hyde Park was a beautiful, low key spot to stay in Austin. We'd definitely stay here again!"
5125038,35097911,2015-06-15,19689434,Maggie,"This was a great experience.  The house was perfect, very spacious, and in a great neighborhood.  Our family of 8 had a wonderful stay in Austin and enjoyed every minute we spent in the house.  Thank you!  "
5125038,36530420,2015-06-29,8836313,Leti,Our stay was wonderful! The house is beautiful and more than enough room for our group. It's a short Uber drive to downtown. The hospitality was great & communication w/Erica was quick & efficient. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great weekend!
5125038,38832190,2015-07-19,5387349,K.,"A great location and great house with plenty of room. Also, it has one of the best book collections I've seen to browse during your stay."
5125038,40869847,2015-08-02,39772560,Yingn,"There were two buildings in the garden including three bedrooms. One room was big and comfortable. The beds in the other two rooms were small. The location was very nice,severe minutes to the city center. "
5125038,46208345,2015-09-08,16548867,Ricardo & Kassy,"Erica was a great host, she had a bottle of wine & a welcoming note available to us when we arrived. The house was in great condition and very clean. We loved that no one had to fight for the restrooms/showers, and loved that each guest had their own bed and bedroom. It was perfect for our labor day weekend getaway, we would definitely stay there again."
5125038,47985954,2015-09-22,1121424,Grace,"This was a real gem of a find, and we really enjoyed our stay in Austin. The location is fantastic, the neighborhood was quiet, and most importantly, the house was comfortable and cozy. There was more than enough room for our large group, and the place was very clean."
5125038,48676704,2015-09-28,32374795,Irma,"The house was as lovely as pictured on the website.   The rooms were very nice and had all the necessary amenities.  Absolutely loved the neighborhood - within minutes of everywhere we wanted to go.  I would definitely recommend staying here.

Also, the host left us a bottle of wine upon arrival which was a nice touch!"
868560,3804694,2013-03-17,3500432,Nikolai,"We had a fantastic time in Francis’ house on the Eastside - in itself a great neighborhood for food and drinks and hanging out, but also just a short, urban walk to downtown. The lake is right next to the house – great for a run or walking to downtown or South Congress.

It's a neat little house with two nice beedrooms, a small living room and a very pleasant kitchen to linger in. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch late nights.

Francis was so helpful and pointed us in all the right directions. The beds were good, there was more than plenty of linen, and it was quiet at night. Francis had stocked the house with coffee, fresh fruit, salsa and even a sick-pack of Lone Stars. I couldn’t possible think of a better host. We had a great time in Austin – it’s a fantastic city, but Francis sure did help to make such a great visit. 

Francis is an awesome host, but I should point that he’s a lousy photographer. The photos here do not do any justice to his charming cottage :-)"
868560,10900908,2014-03-12,642556,Anders,"Francis made sure that we had a great stay at his lovely little house close to the center of Austin. He did everything he could, to make sure that we had a great stay and any difficulties or problems were cleared out of the way.

Francis normally lives in his house, but moved out for the SXSW. This clearly showed as it was like living in somebody else's private home. We had clean linen, fresh towels, and closets were cleared for space - other than that the house appeared as would had Francis lived there himself.

The house is walking distance from the Austin Convention Center (ACC) (20-25 minutes) and 10-15 minutes walk from Rainey street (a great and cosy bar street on the way to the ACC)."
868560,10997877,2014-03-17,376827,Jerry,Francis's place was perfect for our stay and he is a wonderful host and was very attentive and helpful during our stay. I would definitely like to book his place again in the future. 
868560,28256336,2015-03-21,2060026,Damien,"Hank was a great host. The house is wonderful. The neighbourhood is very quiet. Hank was here to welcome us from the airport. He made everything he could to make our stay easy and pleasant.
There is a 20 minute walk from the house to the Austin Convention center. During SXSW, all the main places can be reached easily on foot.
"
8466296,50572334,2015-10-12,15443570,Tim,"The actual house was awesome and was exactly as described in the listing. The outdoor space was great and provided great reviews of the lake. 

We did have an issue in that the two AC units were not working in the house leading to a pretty uncomfortable temperature setting. Management was responsive and did send out reps from their company on 3 different occasions. It was just a busy weekend with ACL, but they did bring us three portable fans late the first night. 

Again, the management company was responsive with great customer service on the phone. They also did offer us a fair reimbursement for the mishap. "
1843753,21294232,2014-10-14,6149490,Juan Carlos,"The house was very clean, as described and Trey was quite attentive. Overall a seamless experience. Thanks!"
1843753,28117445,2015-03-18,24158808,Mike,"The host, Trey, was amazing! He was flexible on check in time and check out even had beer waiting in the fridge! The house was a perfect location for an easy commute down South 1st to downtown. He provided all amenities we needed.  If your looking for a place to stay in Austin, I would highly recommend it. "
1843753,28460648,2015-03-24,4682472,Ben,"We had a great stay at Trey's place. The house is as described, and has everything you need. Good location close to the bus line, also easy to grab a taxi or uber. Trey was a good host and always easily contactable."
1843753,52213072,2015-10-27,15098948,Alex,"Trey was a great host — he made sure to reach out well ahead of time and make himself available for all of my questions, and was flexible for check in and out times. The house was large and comfortable, and perfectly clean. Trey even left us a few beers in the fridge! "
2343011,11203046,2014-03-24,4123788,Amy,"Lovely little home close the action in Austin, but just far enough away too. I had a great week staying with Katy. She was wonderful -- very accommodating. The bed is comfortable and the shared spaces are great. She has a male roommate who is very polite and out of sight. I only saw him once in the week that I was there. Excellent stay and a great deal for Austin. Highly recommend it!"
2343011,11768690,2014-04-14,5481123,Dahren,"Katy and her housemate Anthony were very welcoming.  The room was exactly as described, clean and simple yet comfortable.  It was also very helpful to be able to park the bike in the garage.  Great location to Circuit of the Americas for racing events, yet close enough to the downtown, only about 10 min.  Highly recommended."
2343011,12638159,2014-05-06,14015748,Evandro,"My Girlfriend and i really enjoyed at katy’s House, she is very helpfull and gentle! we feel free to in and out of her house anytime.
the room is very comfortable and the neighborhood is very quiet.
easy and fast access from her house to downtown by bus or car.
As we expected, perfect!"
2343011,14004185,2014-06-09,16434088,Vance,"Katy was amazing and super sweet, just a good person overall and I wish her the best! "
2343011,15791511,2014-07-15,16151209,Theresa,Katy was a wonderful host!  My mom and I stayed with her for a little over a week and she made us feel right at home!  I would definitely stay with Katy again!
2343011,16959106,2014-08-04,4930794,Alyssa,Katy was nice and very accommodating.  We enjoyed our stay.
2343011,17246411,2014-08-09,19180822,Jae,"Katy is absolutely amazing! I am new to Austin, and she's the first friend I made. She is the most caring & sweet person you'll ever meet. Her house is very cozy & clean. Its also close to anything you could possibly want to get to, downtown, 6th street & great food. I definitely recommend Katy's place to anyone looking for an awesome, clean and safe place to stay while in Austin!"
2343011,17902554,2014-08-18,3230573,Mr Monk,"Katy was amazing as a host! Very genuine, friendly, but not at all intrusive. She was very good to us, always making us feel comfortable and welcome. Her roommate was honest and jovial, though we saw little of him. It was a great weekend, thanks in large part to the good nature of our host.

The room was clean, and the house interior design was fun and eclectic.  The atmosphere was serene, and casual. Katy had clean towels in our room, and even some hangars in our closet. The bed was fresh, comfortable - so much so that my cousin ""overslept"" an hour of naptime on Saturday! The kitchen was uncluttered, and Katy thoughtfully made space in the fridge and pantry for our food.

I'll be sure to look for her my next Austin trip."
2343011,18199902,2014-08-23,19651428,Patrick,Katy was great. She was very welcoming and nice but always respective of boundaries and privacy. The room was perfect as were the house and location. It's a quiet neighborhood and reasonably close to downtown Austin. I had a great stay and  I would absolutely recommend Katy to others. 
2343011,20859465,2014-10-06,15815125,Sarah,"Katy was very warm and welcoming. Her house was just as it appears in the photos; cute, clean and in a great location! Its about 10 - 15 minutes from DT Austin, and there were several restaurants & grocery stores in her neighborhood if you need something local. I felt very comfortable at Katy's place and would definitely stay there again! "
2343011,21211105,2014-10-13,12287789,Ashley & Brian,"We had a great stay with Katy during Weekend 2 of Austin City Limits 2014!  Katy made sure to stay in touch before we arrived and made us feel welcome over our 4 day stay. Her housemates were just as friendly and inviting! The room was clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the shared bathroom was no problem at all. We appreciated having a nice spot to park the car, too. Her house was a short drive to downtown and really perfect for avoiding post-festival traffic. Stay here with confidence! Thanks Katy!"
2343011,21931023,2014-10-26,13465229,Gladys,"The place was exactly as described. We found it to be clean and comfortable with a relaxed homey feel. Because of our schedule, we didn't get to interact much with Katy but she was very accommodating about check in/out time. "
2343011,22514725,2014-11-08,23377143,Avery,"The house was beautiful and clean! Katy was an awesome host, very helpful and very kind! I would definitely recommend this as a 5 star place to stay!"
2343011,22914184,2014-11-17,23191864,Betty,"I stayed in a comfy room in Katy's home while in Austin, Texas working as an executive producer on a record.  My experience there for eight nights was just what I needed: quiet, but not alone, and all of the amenities of home.  Her home was neat and clean, artfully decorated but not overdone.  She was a gracious host and addressed my every need or question quickly.  I will surely stay there again when I return to work in Austin, should our schedules allow.  Thanks for all Katy!!"
2343011,25465086,2015-01-17,14423752,Laura,"Katy was wonderful. My boyfriend and I arrived at the airport in the middle of the night and Katy was kind enough to pick us up AND drop us back in the morning to pick up our car! The house was lovely and warm and both her room mate and brother are super friendly. We felt very welcomed like nothing would be too much trouble. The house is in a great location for getting around town and not far from grocery stores, etc.
A truly excellent stay if you're visiting the Austin area. 100% would stay here again!"
2343011,27959518,2015-03-15,16770104,Eve,Katy was nice and a great host! We enjoyed our short stay.
2343011,28260718,2015-03-21,27551839,Meredith,"Staying at Katy's was an absolute pleasure. Both she and her roommate were very kind and accommodating-- even leaving us fresh towels halfway through the week! While not in downtown Austin, it was not but a 15 minute drive (in South By Southwest traffic) from any destination we tried to go to. 
My friend and I loved staying at Katy's and had a fantastic time in Austin!"
2343011,42960239,2015-08-16,32912283,Lu,"I'm so impressed by Katy's warm welcome and her beautiful house.  Before I arrived, Katy sent me messages telling me the exact location of her house and where she would put the key for me since I arrived Austin in midnight. Katy made the bedroom so sweet and cozy. And I can find everything I need in the house as well. I love it so much!!! "
2343011,44043878,2015-08-23,41496834,Srikanth,We enjoyed our stay with Katy. Though she was just getting back from out of town on the day we were arriving...she ensured that our rooms were clean and ready by the time we arrived. She also provided easy access to the house key as she was leaving for work during the time window we were arriving. Katy has a busy work schedule and we got to meet up with her only the following evening after she got back from working multiple shifts. Despite her obvious tiredness...she spent time with us catching up. On the day prior to our checkout ...she stopped by from work to specifically drop off goodies for us in the evening as she was going to be leaving for work early the following morning and we would not have a chance to meet prior to our check out. We will be staying with her during our future trips to Austin based on availability.
2343011,46976952,2015-09-14,41496834,Srikanth,"This was our second stay with Katy almost immediately after our first stay. She made us feel welcome by corresponding promptly, ensuring we had access to the house key easily, and having yummy brownies ready on the dining table when we got in!! Katy was also very flexible with the check in and check out times on both the occasions we stayed with her. A major advantage of her place among others is its easy access to I-35, grocery stores (HEB and Fiesta are very close by), and restaurants (there are a lot of options within a few minutes of her home). Further...her home is very cozy and peaceful. In fact...I overslept on most of the days I was there!! Her listing is accurate as described."
2343011,52575690,2015-10-31,35590955,Dave,"I stayed with Katy for 6 weeks while I was getting settled into my move to Austin.  Her place was perfect for me, exactly as described, clean and quiet.  Katy is a sweet, kind person and a gracious host.  She is available to help with any questions and is very responsive.  Highly recommended!"
3866463,20996450,2014-10-09,4753987,Claire,"As a family (2 adults/3 kids), we needed a home base to get ready for a wedding and this place suited our needs perfectly.  Tatiana and Teddy have a great place - 3 bedrooms, 2 bath.  It was clean and ready for us and they even had bagels, OJ, and snacks at the ready.  When we needed anything (the thermostat set higher, for example), our hosts came to help out within a few minutes- very responsive by text and in person.  Comfy beds, nice towels and lovely soaps also.

The neighborhood is mostly young families and we especially loved the Children's Museum and the Sunday morning Farmer's Market at Mueller Park, both within easy walking distance.  It was close to downtown Austin for all the activities we had planned for the long weekend, like the Segway tour of the lake, just 15 minutes drive - (yes, the kids loved it!) Overall, very practical place, good location, with excellent hosts."
3866463,21516694,2014-10-19,6345928,Alyssa,"Tatiana's place was just perfect for a girls' getaway or any vacation! There is plenty of space for three girls to get ready at the same time. Clean, cozy, and has everything you need for a home away from home experience. The location is convenient to anywhere you need to go. I recommend everyone to stay here, I will definitely be crossing my fingers it's available for my next trip to Austin!!"
3866463,27829803,2015-03-13,7026424,Samantha,"Tatiana and her family were incredible-- what a great place to stay with kids!  We even got a little welcome basket with snacks and maps.  The house was perfect, the location was great, and the hosts could not have been more responsive or generous.   "
3866463,28468811,2015-03-24,26760447,Joe,"Everything about this airbnb experience was fantastic. Tatiana was extremely nice, the place was very clean, in a nice area, and it was a few minute drive from downtown. She left us some snacks, and even chocolates on the pillows!"
3866463,33132952,2015-05-25,7249624,Ana,Tatiana was an awesome host! One of my best experiences with Airbnb. My family visited for my graduation in Austin and Tatiana even left me flowers and a Congrats Grad balloon :) very sweet. The house was really clean and the beds very comfortable. I would definitely recommend her place if you stay in Austin. Is close to everything and the neighborhood is a new and nice area to stay around. Thanks!
3866463,43648700,2015-08-21,31603959,Danny,Tatiana and her husband were excellent hosts for our 2.5 week stay. Instructions provided were clear and they even made accommodations for our situation. We felt very at home with our stay.
3866463,44374244,2015-08-25,20910511,Ryan,Great house in a good location. Host was easy to contact and very accommodating; would definitely stay again 
3866463,46154273,2015-09-08,39756672,Bertha,"Great place, just like the pictures.  The house was impeccably clean and had everything you need to make your stay perfect.  It is located in a great part of Austin and very close to an HEB, a great supermarket, which made it very convenient for us.  We went to Austin for my niece's wedding and stayed for a week. Tatiana remembered this detail and left us a lovely basket with fruits and snacks with a personalized note, this was an unexpected detail and very much appreciated.  We truly felt welcomed and at home.  The house is spacious and extremely comfortable, great for the price.  I work in the hospitality industry and tend to be very picky, I have no complaints.  I look forward to returning to Austin and hopefully being able to stay in this house again.  I highly recommend it!"
3866463,48077112,2015-09-23,11784515,Athena,Tatiana's townhouse was so comfortable and spacious. Just perfect for a family trip. She thought of the small touches like a welcome basket and setting up the kids room for my twins. Great location and wonderful pool and playground. I highly recommend!
3866463,48830834,2015-09-28,6260817,Aamir,"This was by far the best Airbnb experience I've ever had! The house was amazing! the pictures dont do it justice. Bedrooms were very good size and very clean. Beds were super comfortable. Bathroom downstairs was very convenient. And on top of the house being amazing, Tatiana was amazing. We accidentally got locked out, and she was there within 10 minutes to open it for us. She also was a very cool person and hung out with us for a little bit. Overall, great experience and will definitely look to rent out again when i come back to Austin."
3866463,49442057,2015-10-04,752308,Todd,"We had a great stay at Tatiana's. There were four of us, and plenty of room. The house is in a great location, close to downtown, East Austin, the airport, and the interstate. It was clean, comfortable, and Tatiana stocked the fridge with breakfast food, the counter with snacks, and left us some great tips. Highly recommend this place."
3866463,49646963,2015-10-05,5900180,Matthew,Tatiana was super helpful with this whole process I loved her home and I would definitely come back
3866463,51301405,2015-10-19,43368710,Nancy,"Great place to stay especially if you have children. Tatiana was very accommodating by letting us check in early. She also provided a crib, high chair and toys along with a guest pass to the pool and a children's museum. Our grandson had a great time and it was so much better than a hotel!"
3866463,52067206,2015-10-26,32970562,Audrey,My sisters and I stayed here for a Bachelorette weekend in Austin. The house was perfect for us to sit around and visit over a glass of wine. Everyone slept comfortably and the house was very clean and welcoming. I highly recommend staying here!
183269,546373,2011-09-19,1020122,Justin,Scott's house is so cool. Very Austin chic. Great spot to come back to after a night on the town at 6th street.
183269,658653,2011-10-24,181645,Joyce,"LOVED Scott's place in Austin.  The house has everything you need and is extremely clean, cozy and comfortable!  Terrific, terrific porch and was a nice, easy walk to 6th St. and downtown.  Scott was terrific - easy, personable, and made sure we had all that we needed.  Highly recommend this house for a good taste of Austin!!!!"
183269,682981,2011-11-01,389267,Mark And Danielle,"Scott's place is the perfect Austin pad. It's on a quiet street just east of downtown and central to everything. The first thing that greets you is a big shady porch, and the house itself is super clean, modern, well-appointed, and Austin cool. Way more space + amenities than you'd ever find at a hotel for 4X the price, and even more relaxing / fun. Also doesn't hurt that Scott's an awesome guy who goes out of his way to make sure your stay is a good one. Really happy with our stay."
183269,706028,2011-11-09,1317294,Bruce,"Scott's house was GREAT! - felt like we were at home the whole time. The house was very clean and had everything one would need, and the porch was very relaxing! close to everything. thanks scott!!"
183269,751724,2011-11-28,2695525,Avni,Amazing house with a great deck in the back. The front patio is very relaxing as well and has a nice vibe at night. Close to downtown and the hipsters
183269,846549,2012-01-07,1380595,Rebecca,"We LOVED staying at Scott's place. We felt so comfortable, were so close to the coolest bars and restaurants, and the porch was heaven. We cannot wait for our next trip back to Austin, and hope it's at Scott's!"
183269,1001402,2012-03-15,1215727,Matt,"Amazing, great house. Clean, spacious, great location. And Scott is a great guy. Thank you for letting us stay. "
183269,1026535,2012-03-21,1201293,Nella,"After a very late arrival, sorry scott, we were met by a friendly face. Beautiful house close to everything!  After a few nights out we even enjoyed a quiet Sunday in.  Easy for our friends to find. Hoping to book for next year already! Thanks! "
183269,1368186,2012-05-28,2253513,Scott,"Scott couldn't have been a nicer host and I loved staying at his home.   He was there at the house waiting for me after my flight landed, gave us a quick tour, left the wi-fi password and the key, and off he went.  But he was only a text message away when I had a couple quick questions during the weekend.  The house is really cute and nicely decorated. I loved walking around and enjoying the art and interesting posters throughout, as well as browsing at the vast collection of books.   The A/C was central and worked perfectly throughout weekend.  A great collection of bars and trailer food trucks can be found about a 10-15 minute walk away.  Very nice, recommended."
183269,3778941,2013-03-14,361816,Tony,"Scott is a great host - got me some goodies for the trip in Austin and provided me with the amenities I needed for my stay. His place is really awesome too, and the artwork there is really fun to look at if you're ever finding yourself in want of things to do in Austin (not that you'll ever have that problem). "
183269,10396161,2014-02-17,11188034,Destiny,"Scott was an amazing host! Great rental. Everything was amazing...from the big porch to the comfortable beds and couches. The entire house was beautiful and the artwork was very interesting and fun to look at. There was a Mexican bakery very close that we walked to, which was nice for the early mornings before heading to the Convention Center. Scott was very dependable and took us to the best bistro! Thanks Scott!"
183269,10899248,2014-03-12,1190449,Bobby,"This is a beautiful, modernized home in a good location!

Great wifi, a whole media room setup, clean and comfortable!

Scott was a very accommodating host -- delightful and helpful, telling me about the hot spots in the area, pointing me to a great bike shop, etc.

Also, Scott helped me out of a real jam.  When I couldn't get a taxi to the airport (last day of SXSW interactive), he arranged for a friend to take me!  Had he not done that, I would have missed my flight home for sure!"
183269,21275625,2014-10-14,14630262,Michele,The description of property was accurate.  The neighborhood was great - quiet and mostly residential.  It was within walking distance to several restaurants and convenient to downtown.
183269,22302306,2014-11-03,5028078,Kelly,Everything about the airbnb was as described. Scott was very hospitable and accommodating. The location was convenient to all of the great restaurants in the area. 
4654381,28190145,2015-03-19,94223,Jeffrey,This home was perfect for our stay during SXSW. We had bikes so moving to and fro was a breeze (and nice as its only a couple blocks from the river (lake) park.  Anna was easy and very accommodating considering the 24 hours notice.  The place was clean and comfortable. Everything worked just fine (though she was In the midst of installing a new key code lock so that was not working).   Thanks Anna!
4654381,33146669,2015-05-25,539559,Kevin,"Anna was responsive and provided good information around the neighborhood. The place was decent size for 3 of us and the kitchen was pretty equipped with necessary kitchenware. As mentioned by Anna, this place will just be getting better and better as time goes by and hope that the future guests will get to experience that."
4654381,33863390,2015-06-01,12510535,Lisa,"Great home for a week! We enjoyed the great space & neighborhood so much already booked for another weekend.
Anna's super nice & was available when needed. Kitchen and bathroom fully furnished! Had all those little extras that make it convenient & stressfree.
The Office made it easy to be productive when the mood struck. 
Thanks so much for everything!"
4654381,34490216,2015-06-08,12510535,Lisa,"Outstanding location- house was well stocked with everything needed! From the kitchen to the office space.
great experience- Anna super nice and easy going which helped when we needed an early check-in."
4654381,41012501,2015-08-03,6732434,James,"Anna was very welcoming, and her house was quite cozy.  The neighborhood seemed pleasant, and we were able to walk down to the waterfront, which was nice.   The electronic locking system on the house was a little difficult to work with though."
4654381,42198056,2015-08-11,39862239,Carl,"Great location. The listing is accurate and there is a lot to do around the area. It was nice to call the cottage home for the long weekend and the host has great suggestions for things to do in the area, so don't be afraid to ask!"
4654381,44783230,2015-08-29,15127955,Eric,"Anna's cottage in the east side of Austin was a comfortable gem that we loved. It was clean and the air conditioning was powerful and consistent, which was a substantial boon given the heat in August. Anna went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and was easy to contact with questions as well as reservations alterations which we unfortunately had to make due to a medical concern. The kitchen turned out to be larger than I was expecting as well as the master bedroom and bathroom and the couch bed was just as good as the bed to sleep on. The house's location is exceptional as it's right next to a jogging trail along the river and is about a 20 minute walk to fantastic food and bars. I highly recommend this riverside cottage."
4654381,49814039,2015-10-06,11064756,Kara,Anna was a wonderful host! The house was perfect and her instructions were very helpful. It was a great stay!
1745254,9845828,2014-01-13,11153164,Ben,"Made a last minute rental on this place and it worked out very well for us. Our agent, Erica, was out of the office the day we arrived so we got in touch with TurnKey rentals and they provided us with the necessary information to enter the apartment. Keypad locks and a secure parking space made it so that we just had to show up to the condo and we were set! No going to another location to get keys, etc. Seamless and stress free experience. The condo also was what we needed and was only two blocks from 6th street, which was the most important quality. Would use Erica and TurnKey again!"
1745254,12620568,2014-05-06,13604235,Kevin,"The property that I stayed at was in a great location and within walking distance of most anything we needed.  

The rental unit was extremely clean, modern and, as advertised.  It also had all of the in room amenities we had expected such as a W&D, dishwasher, etc...

My only issues, with the unit I stayed in, were the fact that it was at street level and there was a lot of road noise and traffic at night and the sidewalk traffic prevented us from opening the blinds to see outside.  Also, we stayed there 8 days and not having a broom or mop to perform minor clean-up during our stay was disappointing.  

I recommend the property but not the unit that I stayed in.  "

1745254,19211514,2014-09-08,376307,Kaitlin,"The unit was really easy to access and was very clean. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom was great. The location is also pretty good, if you want to be close to downtown. We didn't spend any time in the neighborhood so next time I would likely stay in a different area.

The unit is on the first floor and since it's close to 6th Street, it was very loud between 10 PM and 2 AM. "
1745254,22321771,2014-11-03,21025246,Manolo,"The apartment was really nice and clean, everything was excellent!!! Erica was very helpful with all of my concerns!! Excellent experience!! "
1745254,23128417,2014-11-23,2104830,Peter,The apartment is right in the middle of town. Very convenient to all things downtown. It is so much downtown that it is not good for light sleepers. The city is active the and apartment is in the center of the action. Clean and bright apartment. Street level unit.

1745254,30327637,2015-04-20,20362050,Jesse,The apartment was in a convenient location for enjoying downtown nightlife and eateries.  Everything was clean and very nice.  The unit is on the first floor so it is not very quiet but was expected due to the location.  I would definitely stay here again! 
1745254,30872979,2015-04-28,15321899,Patrick,"The condo itself was very modern and have the latest technology in home appliances (Nest AC, Samsung refrigerator, Samsung TV etc.) Also it was in a very good location downtown. It was walking distance to all nightlife (6th street or Rainey St) and restaurants. The only downside was since it was near to the nightlife, some nights it was loud. I would recommend this place if you want a fully loaded condo close to all the action. "
1745254,32030201,2015-05-12,32612936,Mike,This was a great little modern studio in a fantastic location of Austin. It is well centered right next to 6th st and also walking distance to south congress. No complaints. A plus.

2243059,10979372,2014-03-16,539915,Jen,"Rachel and her place were lovely.  I stayed with my husband and our friend for SXSW 2014 and it was great.  The house is exactly as shown on airbnb.  It is small but very nicely appointed, clean and comfortable.  One thing you don't see in the pictures is a nice little deck out back with a bbq.

The wifi worked great, the beds were super comfortable (something that I have not always found to be true with airbnb rentals) and it was really handy to have a washer and dryer in the unit as we were there for ten days.

It is a short walk to the light rail, which takes you directly to the convention center.  The only down side is the light rail only comes once a half hour or so and does not operate 24 hours/day so you must plan in order to save time.  There is a bus stop one block away and of course you can always rent a car or hire a cab (but cabs and rental cars don't work out very well during the festival).

Rachel was super easy to communicate with and very welcoming. I would definitely stay here again."
2243059,33724716,2015-05-31,6572228,Jonah,"Rachel was warm and welcoming, her place is adorable, and the neighborhood has a bunch of cute little places in the close vicinity (and is not far from the university, where I was attending a conference). She was flexible with my uncertain arrival times, and immediately friendly, easygoing, and hassle-less about my stay."
2243059,34495388,2015-06-08,34517239,Kate,My first Airbnb experience was with Rachel. She was more than accommodating and made me feel right at home. She offered recommendations on where to eat and the best way to get to places around the city. The room was very comfy/cozy and perfect for my week stay. I highly recommend staying here if your travels take you to Austin.
2243059,43916359,2015-08-23,18091311,Chad,"Rachel was a very welcoming and friendly host. She was kind enough to pick me up from the airport when I arrived and also took me there when I departed. Her house was exactly like described and she was very open to sharing all of her household amenities. My private room had a comfortable bed and there was enough space to put all of my belongings for the summer. I didn't have a car during my stay, but there is a bus that stops a block from her house and goes downtown that I took to get to work in the mornings. Her bungalow is located on the up-and-coming (hip) East side of downtown and you can walk a couple blocks to a few good coffee shops and bars or make a short drive to the food trailers and bars on East 6th street. I would recommend Rachel if you're looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in East Austin."
2243059,48633011,2015-09-27,17549578,Jordan,"Staying with Rachel was an absolute pleasure. She was extremely helpful with my pup and every other aspect of my weekend in Austin. Her place is extremely cute, has an excellent little yard, and is located within 5 minutes of the stadium which was perfect for my football filled weekend!"
2243059,49631416,2015-10-05,34463654,Chara,"Rachel was a fantastic host. The place is a bit small, but she did everything possible to made sure we were comfortable and was very considerate of us. "
2243059,50295517,2015-10-11,7757111,Patricia,"Rachel’s place is just as described: very charming and conveniently located in the city. We really enjoyed our stay in her place. Their dogs were much fun and made us feel at home. Everything was clean and fresh.

Rachel was a great host. She gave recommended some really cool places in the city!!! When we come back to the city, we would love to stay at her place again!! 
"
2243059,51712661,2015-10-24,41834534,Matthew,"Rachel's place was exactly as described. Lovely home with cute dogs. Great location to explore Austin from and also close to some cool bars. 

Would definitely recommend."

723950,3946821,2013-03-30,4746362,Peter,"The house was very nicely furnished, had a great yard, was well stocked when we arrived, and the owners were very helpful and attentive when we had questions."
723950,4359551,2013-04-30,5227829,Michael,"We loved this home, and yes, we considered it our home while in Austin.  Plenty of room and very comfortable surroundings with great location to downtown and walking distance to Lady Bird Lake.  The place was spotless and super secure and private.  Would highly recommend staying in this meticulously designed and decorated home.  And don't miss the best BBQ spot we found in hill Country, Salt Lick BBQ Driftwood.  Other than the wedding we attended at Allan House, it was our favorite place, great day trip for sure, best ribs ever!"
723950,5303332,2013-06-23,6939851,Keith,"Although smaller than what it appears in the pics, this BnB is nonetheless a very nice stay.  It was quite cozy and comfortable.  The pillows were nice and downy, and the electronic piano was an added bonus."
723950,5795597,2013-07-16,7181764,Renay,"My family and I were thrilled with the guest house the moment we walked in. We were very comfortable and felt the home was well prepared for our stay. Most of all, we felt welcomed! Everything we could possibly need was in the home....and even more. The guest house had a personal touch that we would go back for and enjoy. Thank-you Paola for being a unique host with great style."
723950,13469536,2014-05-28,7692969,Valerie,"Town Lake Home was perfectly situated: walking distance to East Austin hotspots and Rainey Street, while also tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood.  Paola communicated frequently prior to our arrival, and it was a breath of fresh air walking into the house.  The entire property is fully stocked, and would meet the needs of any traveler- whatever your interests: cooking, reading, music, or resting.  This was a great find, and we hope to book again on our next trip to ATX."
723950,19628214,2014-09-15,2347704,Dacia,"Paola was a great hostess.  She kept contact with me up until right before our stay.  She was very accommodating even up to the last minute.  The house was very cozy and clean.  The owners have a binder in the dining area with a very detailed list of house rules and things to do in the area.  They also  have detailed instructions in each room for checking in, checking out, and how to work all appliances.  We never felt like we need to contact the owner for assistance with working any of the appliances or electronics because it was all spelled out.  The entire process felt very smooth and easy.  Definitely enjoyed being able to stay close to what we wanted to do and in such a cute and comfy home.  I would definitely recommend to friends and family this home.  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.  "

723950,37122750,2015-07-04,21986177,Michael,"My friends and I had a very restful place here. The beds were clean and comfortable and the location was very convenient.  Even though I missed the email that Paola had sent me with instructions on how to get in, she was kind enough to walk me through the process step by step over the phone. 

"
723950,40063478,2015-07-27,18987610,Vy,"The house was only a few blocks from the water, and across the water from the Paddle Board rental place we used.  My friends and I loved the house; it was a really cute home that had everything we needed.  Board games, piano, and the espresso machine were a few wonderful extras that we enjoyed.  Communication with Paola was great, our email conversations and the huge binder of information on the dining room table gave us plenty of information to use during our stay.  Thanks for everything Paola!"
723950,46162167,2015-09-08,13632389,Bojan,"The home was just as described and better! The hosts did a remarkable job of welcoming us with all necessary details of the apartment, complimentary chocolates and wine, contact numbers in case of emergency. The place was extremely clean and well organized with everything you would need. The kitchen comes stocked with all cooking pots, pans, silverware, everything and more! We were staying at this rental with my parents so I was a bit hesitant and didn't want to disappoint them, well they were more impressed than me! There are TV's in every room if you chose to do that and the home is very spacious and comfortable. Clean linens, towels, and lots of space in the fridge! The location was also great, my fiance and I are runners and were able to walk out of the apartment and hit the lady bird lake trail that goes all the way to zilker and back around (about 11 miles). Couldn't be happier with our stay and experience and we would absolutely stay here again! "
723950,47687778,2015-09-21,6328149,Jo,"This leafy, cool house was very comfortable for our party of four (one couple, two singles). The house was clean, well stocked with kitchen utensils, and a lovely welcome pack of wine and snacks.
It was a very hot day in Austin, but the air-conditioning meant we slept comfortably. The large leafy trees on the property provided lovely shade when we were sitting in the back patio.
The on-site parking with a padlocked gate meant we felt comfortable with some expensive items in our car.
Paola was great at communicating with us.
The Egyptian Cotton sheets were a bench-mark for sleep, I felt like I was swimming in my bed!
The house was a very short drive to down-town, and the funky suburb East of downtown along Cezar Chavez. Loads of great bars, eating spots and interesting shopping spots.
This was my third visit to Austin, and the city gets more fun, more interesting each time!"
4163685,21360175,2014-10-15,2635267,Laura,"David was a gracious host and lived close by if we needed anything.  Very nice and easy to communicate with prior to our stay.  Very responsive and easy going. 

Stay was very accomodating- provided towels and keys for each of us.  Pleasant stay.  The neighborhood was pretty close to downtown, about a 15 minute drive.  It is also close to the airport, which was what we needed.  

House is in a much older neighborhood than some others and a 'little rough around the edges'.  

The house is pretty much exactly as pictured and described, it is very lived-in, but with plenty of room, air conditioning and a full kitchen.  There were no laundry facilities nor a dishwasher.  Keep that in mind when booking.

Does have great wifi and Netflix!"
4163685,22338369,2014-11-03,22991224,Radioactive,"Just got back from Austin yesterday and the stay at David's house was nothing short of amazing. The house was beautiful and clean. We were provided extra towels and toiletries. We had full access to the all rooms and services the house had to offer. The bed were comfortable and there were clean bed sheets. David was a great host and visited us and introduced himself and was always available to answers any questions we had.
I would definitely recommend this to all my friends who visit Austin. 5 stars to David "
4163685,23401352,2014-11-30,23877072,Berrak,"Our stay in David's house was very pleasant. He made sure we had everything we needed upon arrival.  The house itself is lovely. Clean towels were also provided. 
The house is conveniently located, it takes at most 15min. driving to get to most places. I would recommend this place to a friend."
4163685,28301724,2015-03-22,3642912,Laura,"We enjoyed our recent stay here.  The place is clean, tidy, cute, and filled with whatever you might need.  It would be especially great for someone with kids, since there are kids' toys and books available.  My 2-year-old niece enjoyed visiting!  There's a full kitchen, which made it easy to cook, plus a full dining area and living room.  We found it to be a quiet place to relax.  The hosts were very responsive to our needs and live just down the block.  We hope to be back."

There were a lot of toys, books, and movies for my kids so that was an extra plus. Very cute inside. Lots of toiletries and things to cook with. Much appreciated. "
4163685,49639219,2015-10-05,42366707,Yi,"Great space on the East side of Austin. Would highly recommend to any family looking to stay. Short drive into the city and easy to get on major roads.

Lot's of space and the bed is REALLY comfortable. The room and neighborhood are very quiet. Jonathan, Jay and Justin were gracious and generous hosts. Couldn't ask for a better experience."
5651759,50466989,2015-10-12,42592078,Mario,"Wow! Great experience! This was my first Airbnb and was not sure how it was going to be. Nothing but great things.
Jonathan was very helpful in responding and setting up the reservation. His roommate Jay (who owns this beautiful home) welcomed me when I arrived. 

After traveling for a week I was able to get my clothes nice and clean and even got to experience Austin City Limits music festival because they luckily had an extra ticket for sale! Much fun. 

This home is out of a magazine beautiful. Jay was beyond welcoming and helpful. Would stay again for sure. 

I wish I could have stayed longer just to relax at this home!

I live nearby but got this for my parent's visit, house was overflowing :) They write,   ""Great location, comfortable room, very hospitable hosts, lovely swimming pool available for use.

727748,2928020,2012-11-20,3638214,Barnes,"6 of us, from 4 different states, came together and stayed at Anne's for Formula 1 weekend.  All present give her place a big thumbs up!  Though set in a mature, leafy neighborhood, the house appears to have had a makeover not so long ago.  The result is bright, open spaces, clean lines and some nifty features - like a front door that elicits comments from whoever passes through.  It's all very convenient to downtown Austin as well.  Thanks, Anne, for letting us come visit, we had a great time!"
727748,3060362,2012-12-11,1996691,Theresa,"Our stay exceeded our expectations in every way. Anne's home was immaculate, the layout was perfect for a group our size, not to mention the amazing outdoor patio and awesome master bathroom! The location was also quite convenient to anywhere we needed to go downtown. Anne was a thoughtful and extremely kind host - she went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!"
727748,3208061,2013-01-01,1154716,Jennifer,"I rented Anne's house for a long weekend family gathering post Christmas / pre New Years.

Renter: Anne was nice and helpful. She stocked Coffee, Milk, Juice and fruits for us to use. There were even toiletries in little baskets in the bathrooms for us to use. She was in the city and easy to contact and stopped by to welcome us. 

House:
Pros: 
-The design of the house was very cool looking.
-There were different comfortable areas to sit and hang out.
-With four bedrooms it felt very comfortable for our group of seven people. 
-The master shower is pretty huge with four different shower heads that can all turn on at the same time.
-There was a Christmas tree and lights which gave the house a nice festive touch.
-In addition to the wifi there was a computer in the kitchen that we used to play music which was awesome.  
-The location was convenient.
-The neighborhood was cute and quiet. In warmer months walking around would be nice.
-In warmer months the back yard looks like it'd be a nice place to hang out, drink coffee, talk, etc. 
Cons: 
-The house was kinda loud. Some people liked to go to bed earlier than others and in every room, even the master bedroom, you could hear the people in the common areas.  
- If you don't own a dog, have allergies, wear black pants, or like to walk around barefoot then you may notice that this is a home that has a dog. We found dog hair all over the floor and all over the couches. Wasn't terrible, only one seat had a dog smell which was probably his favorite spot. The dog owners didn't notice, but it did bother some people.
- We paid a $40 cleaning fee and the house rules made throwing the sheets in the laundry room and the starting the dishwasher seem more like a rule than a suggestion. We would have done it either way but it seemed strange for a rule considering the cleaning fee.

The overall consensus of my group was that we'd be happy to rent this house in the future, but it we would also be open to renting other homes. "
727748,3763121,2013-03-12,91439,Kimberly,Anne was a lovely host. she was easy to communicate with and had a nice friend meet us to let us in as she was traveling. the house fit 5 of us comfortably. very social space and we never felt cramped. easy drive to downtown and close to shops. highly recommend!!
727748,3815791,2013-03-18,1333561,Mike,"We rented out Anne's house for SXSW and it comfortably slept 7 people.  The house was in great condition and Anne was so easy to deal with to get into the house etc.  Hopefully we can rent her house again next year as everything about it was perfect for us.  Its just a couple minute drive into downtown Austin and the neighborhood was very quiet and low key.   

Anne's house just makes you feel at home and when you are traveling that's kind of the ultimate complement.  5 stars.  Thanks for letting us stay in your lovely home."
727748,3971610,2013-04-01,4541375,Tristine,"Anne was a fantastic host. Her house had all the amenities and space that my girlfriends and I needed for a relaxing weekend. Anne even provided a few food items for breakfast and goodies. She was so accommodating when I was running a tad late to check-in as well. The house is bright with modern designs, as well as clean and easily accessible to activities in the Barton Springs/ Zilker Park area. I could not have asked for a better experience for my first AirBNB rental. I would highly recommend renting from Anne.

We've enjoyed our stay very much, Anne has been very helpfull during our stay (we're from The Netherlands, so didn't know our way around Austin). On our arrival there was fresh fruit, coffee, tea and other groceries.

She left us some basic goodies in the frig for our small group of friends and family to feast and left very clear upbeat instructions on the house and its operations.  This listing was very accurate and more!  I will let you discover the more as to not spoil any wonderful surprises!!  The neighborhood was so incredibly cute and safe.  Very family friendly.  Just from a design standpoint the house is exquisitely designed and the unique little details of the house makes it a one-of-a-kind.  Was certainly fun to experience this fine escape for the weekend.  From a comfort and efficiency standpoint, again, nothing but wonderful.  Perfect for our small group of friends and family.  Plenty of bathrooms and sleep room.  Great outdoor area and great sitting areas for everyone to hang out so that you are not on top of each other.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin and needs a place to stay.  I will definitely be looking this listing up again should we back in the area.  "

She was extremely accommodating as this was my first Airbnb stay.  The house is located in a beautiful area of Austin and centrally located to get to all the hot spots in town.  The house was immaculate when I arrived.  The design is beautiful, warm, spacious and open.  The house also had a great outdoor area to chill and relax.  Which is hard to find in traditional hotels.

4149181,21853579,2014-10-25,22608463,Brian,"The apartment was outstanding. The description in the listing simply doesn't do it justice. The location is perfect if you want to run around downtown. It's a short walk or drive to any number of great bars and restaurants. The kitchen is very well suited to cooking your own meals, if you simply want to hang out and enjoy the view.  Having the garage was a great plus to the property. I will definitely be making use of this apartment at every opportunity.  "
4149181,22325671,2014-11-03,22643963,Andy,"The house was great! 
Everything was clean and new. 
The layout was open and we enjoyed our stay. 
We were close to a lot of things downtown and we really enjoed the fact that there was a coffee shop 5 ft away from our stay. "
4149181,22658825,2014-11-11,21605006,Kurtis,"Before our stay began, the host was very informative and helpful in making sure that our arrival went smoothly. When we entered our pad for the weekend we were elated to find everything we needed, and then some. There was a much appreciated gift basket waiting to welcome us, and plenty of toiletries and bedding as well. The location was excellent for our stay since we were attending the Fun Fun Fun Fest. Everything about this place and our stay was wonderful. We couldn't have asked for anything better. "
4149181,23278462,2014-11-27,6593041,Jared,"This place was an excellent location right downtown Austin within walking distance to Rainey Street.. It was beautiful, new and immaculately clean. We particularly enjoyed the Keurig coffee maker for coffee in the morning. I would definitely stay here again great job to the turnkey team for making it a great experience."
4149181,26076045,2015-02-02,11372659,Michael,"Very clean, with snacks, water and coffee left out for my arrival. Comfortable furniture and bed, and parking two cars was a breeze.  Arrival process couldn't have been simpler. The neighborhood felt safe and was a quick walk to downtown. Cenote was awesome. Would highly recommend."
4149181,27574066,2015-03-08,1617797,Ehren,"Great place in a super location - everything was very smooth, and loved the keyless entry.  "

4149181,28117769,2015-03-18,9120552,Kerry,"I was so impressed with this apartment. You can tell that not only has some put time & care in to this apartment but considering its a rental there's no short cuts. Everything has been thought of, real home from home & cleanliness was exceptional. I stayed here whilst attending SXSW Interactive & the location was exceptional. Also so near to Rainey St (which a must for any visitor of Austin) just made the whole trip so easy. "
4149181,29101635,2015-04-04,14509265,Jacob,"Great space with very nice furnishing and appliances. This is a garage apartment but you wouldn't know it being inside. 

Close in proximity to restaurants and bars. 

"
4149181,30392181,2015-04-21,14054092,Sydney,"This cute East Austin apartment is exactly as listed. Great location and easily accessible. It is exactly as pictured and very clean. The door code entry makes getting in and out very convenient and seamless. The couch could be a bit comfier as a seating area, but hey, you aren't in the ATX to be sitting on the couch anyways. We took full advantage of the restaurant right across the street, Cenote- which has great coffee and food. There is not a little corner market super close, which would have been nice, but we also did not look too hard. The snack basket, waters, and coffee were a great bonus and much appreciated! All in all a great place to stay in Austin."

4149181,32680748,2015-05-20,21494806,Matt,"The description and the pictures are accurate--the only difference being a few more pictures on the walls that makes the place look even nicer.  A lot of nice details and the little things provided, such as some snacks and shampoo, etc, made it similar to a hotel, but with many more amenities.

I used this while at a conference at the convention center and it worked well for me.  It is a ten minute walk from the convention center.  Not an altogether pleasant walk since you pass under a freeway and there is some construction, but I did not feel unsafe.  And there are always cabs or Uber.

I would definitely stay here again."
4149181,33915774,2015-06-02,11314602,Tanya,"I absolutely loved this place and will look to book again the next time I am in town! The condo was very clean, well-stocked, and centrally located. It had beautiful upgrades and furnishing throughout, and the attached garage really made everything so easily accessible during my stay. I especially loved that the condo is less than a five minute walk to Rainey Street and that the neighborhood was quiet and safe at night. I also had the option for late checkout, which was very convenient."
4149181,37597866,2015-07-08,19240080,Christopher,"This space was great to stay in and perfect for 2-3 people. When we arrived it was immaculate, decorated well, comfortable and welcoming. There was coffee and tea ready to brew, cold Starbucks in the the fridge, snacks on the counter and even a few beers in the fridge. It was exactly as described online.  This is an ideal place to stay in East Austin, is close to bars and restaurants, downtown and an easy Uber to anywhere.  I can't say enough positive things about staying here.

There was only one issue but it was a major one when the AC unit stopped working in the middle of the night on our 2nd to last night.  I called the management company in the AM the following day and was told someone would come to the property to look into it. We left for the day and when we returned in the early evening it was 87F in the apartment.  I called the management company back and was told that it was broken. We initially relocated to another property set up by the management company, declined to stay there after seeing it and instead had out night reimbursed and stayed in a hotel instead. I have to say that the management company was extremely personable, friendly and willing to work with us to figure out a solution.

All in all this place in a great place to stay and I would stay here again in the future as I am sure the AC situation will be looked into and remedied.  "
4149181,42115234,2015-08-11,12130107,William,"After a long drive into Austin, I was greeted with an absolutely beautiful space. This place looked like a 5-star hotel and there was even a welcome basket with goodies!

I was in town working at the Convention Center all weekend and the apartment was within walking distance. There is even a really nice coffee shop basically right across the street. 

I would highly recommend this place for your next vacation! "
4149181,45182150,2015-08-31,3407269,Wayne,Easy to deal with! Great spot. 
4149181,51425733,2015-10-20,28514873,Catherine,"Okay.... I will never stay in a hotel in Austin again.. this is my go to spot. Our host thought of everything, bed amazing, tons of pillows, extra blankets, etc.. Make up towels, excellent bath products, keurig coffee maker and all the goodies to go with it. The photos really don't do it justice, it was larger than appears.. The shower was so cool, great big glass walkin shower, with excellent pressure. The garage was a real plus for us, as we had extra stuff to store. Thank you Erica for the excellent stay, we will be back.."
4149181,53069325,2015-11-04,32446119,Danielle,Loved this property. It was very clean and modern. Good location-close to downtown. Perfect for two people. It had great amenities as well such as a coffee machine and washer/dryer. The kitchen was great too-we were able to cook dinner and had everything we needed. Host was easy to communicate with via TurnKey.
3819181,21325095,2014-10-14,21322012,Taylor,"Craig was a great host. He made sure he was always available if I needed anything but was never intrusive. Everything listed was very accurate. The spot is close to everything in a great part of town. Yet, the quiet street and 'tree house feel' to the apartment makes you feel far away from the noise of the city. Loved it!"
3819181,21636200,2014-10-20,7010360,Molly,"Craig was a great host in a beautiful, convenient location. The apartment is clean with lots of light and tasteful furnishing. The location is also only a $7-8 Uber ride to the heart of downtown. Craig made himself available for help or advice on the area, but otherwise didn't force contact. Would definitely rent again or recommend him to friends."
3819181,21968981,2014-10-27,22023234,Matthew,"This was my first airbnb experience.  I usually stay in a hotel downtown when I visit Austin but decided to try something different.  Craig is a gracious host and obviously takes pride in providing not only a great place to stay but a great experience in Austin.  The apartment was much larger than I anticipated and it was spotless when I got there.  Craig had stocked the fridge with beers and left a very thoughtful and detailed description of the neighborhood (places to eat, grocery store, local attractions, etc.).  The apartment is a quiet single unit located behind the main house in a beautiful neighborhood.  You can walk 5-10 minutes to West Lynn which has a great selection of restaurants, a grocery store and ridiculously good coffee shop.  We walked to dinner here twice and coffee every morning.  It is also conveniently located to downtown.  I was in town for a film festival so I headed into downtown multiple times a day.  I took Uber most of the time and it typically showed up in under 5 mins and was about $8 (5 mins) to get to and from downtown.  Craig was also kind enough to lend me a bike so I biked into town a couple of times.  Overall just an excellent experience.  Craig makes you feel very welcome and the apartment is the perfect home-base while you're in town.  Clean, comfortable, quiet and conveniently located to everything.  Oh, and the bed is probably the most comfortable I've ever slept in.  I asked Craig to send me the information on the mattress because now I want to replace my bed at home.  This will definitely be the first place I try to book on my next trip to Austin.  "
3819181,23243169,2014-11-26,21322012,Taylor,"Second time staying here. Great location, great feel to the apartment, great host. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay while in the middle of everything."
3819181,25641776,2015-01-21,22553113,Sallie,"This is a wonderful place. It's very central, making it easy to get to where you want to go. Craig made sure that we had everything needed, while giving us our privacy. Some of my favorite moments were sitting on the small stoop outside drinking coffee with Gladys, their sweet dog, by my side. I will definitely book this space next time I visit. "
3819181,26084618,2015-02-02,13963410,Edward,"Craig was great, had all ready for mu arrival. Apartment was exactly what i was looking for and as described. The neighborhood is fantastic."
3819181,26684460,2015-02-17,21019885,Nancy,"This apartment is exactly the way you see it in the pictures. It is airy, bright, clean and so very darling.  The living area is super cozy; the room is large, and the bed very comfortable.  Craig was very gracious in providing snacks, coffee, beer, wine and plenty of towels and toiletry items in the bathroom which made us feel right at home.  Craig's apartment afforded us lots of privacy and comfort.  My sister and I bumped into him and his lovely girlfriend while they were enjoying their morning coffee on the front porch, and they were most kind and helpful. There is a great market - Fresh Plus on west Lynn and Enfield which we walked to almost daily for groceries. Additionally, Craig's place is also very close to line 18 which we took into downtown - super convenient.  This neighborhood is quiet, upscale and lovely;  I would DEFINITELY stay here again the next time we are in Austin. Thumbs UP!"
3819181,27064161,2015-02-24,24425481,Daniel,"This place is the best. It's neighborhood is upscale and charming.  There's a grocery and restaurants near the house, and it's close enough to downtown that you can take one of Craig's bikes and be there in no time.  The street is quiet and quaint.  The furnishings are cute and the place has everything you could need. Craig is a wonderful and attentive host who checks in on you to make sure you're doing well.  I highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin.  "
3819181,27446985,2015-03-04,18364007,Olivia,Craig's apartment is a garage flat located in the nice area behind the house he lives in. It's ok for a short stay. The bedroom has queen size bed with matrass that is on angle therefore not very comfortable for my liking. We stayed during the coldest and rainiest days in Feb 2015 therefore had to use a heater which was a bit hard to control and hard to keep desired temperature. Saying that I think it will not be an issue during spring / summer. Flat has lots of windows and light which is great.  It was good to have Netflix connected to TV with countless movies and shows but no cable TV which was no problem for me. There was not many kitchen or bathroom essentials but saying that Craig was quick and happy to provide what we needed. No space to put toiletries in the bathroom. Internet was fine as well as phone reception. Overall flat is ok for the money. Craig is a friendly host and was flexible with us having to extend last minute. 
3819181,27665537,2015-03-09,16747627,Jacob,"Could not have been more satisfied with my stay at Craig's guest house. It was clean, comfortable, and located in a great part of town. Craig was very responsive and helpful during our stay.  Would definitely stay here again."
3819181,27853435,2015-03-13,13345779,Andrew,"Clean little apartment in a quaint neighborhood. The bikes were a great add-on, allowing us to take a fun 20 minute ride along the riverfront into downtown! And Craig (and his dog!) were super friendly. Highly recommend!"
3819181,28350642,2015-03-22,13560898,Julia,"Craig was absolutely lovely. The space is exactly what you see, incredibly convenient for all my SXSW needs. Lots of street parking if you need it or a 7 dollar Uber if you don't have a car. Gladys is adorable and really stays out of the way [we only met twice in my 6 days there!] Thank you Craig and Gladys for having me over this business trip. "
3819181,29636187,2015-04-10,19491564,Andrew,"Very easy communications pre arrival, all was as expected.  Excellent location in a wonderful Old Austin neighborhood.   Accommodations were comfortable, clean and quiet with cool air con and righteous wireless.  Easy parking, close to all the charm of the small Clarksville cafe areas (walk to the coffee shop or Galaxy Cafe in 5 minutes.  Great to be back in Austin and greeted by a six-pack of Shiner Bock.


"
3819181,29837442,2015-04-13,16760127,Mia,"My husband and I stayed at the apt for the weekend while attending a friend's wedding.  Craig was out of town while we were there so we didn't get to meet him, but he was accessible via phone and email should we have questions.

What a wonderful little apartment in a perfect spot! The location really could not be more ideal. No more than 10 minutes drive to downtown and very easily accessible to everywhere - I don't think we had to drive more than 15 minutes to reach any of our destinations. Plus the neighborhood of Old Enfield is beautiful and quiet and ideal for a weekend stay. 

The apt itself was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. Craig even left beer in the fridge to welcome us to Austin, which was a nice touch. The apt is located on the first floor, however, so if stairs are an issue this isn't the place for you.

We had a wonderful time staying here and highly recommend the apt for anyone looking for a convenient place to stay close to downtown Austin."
3819181,30297660,2015-04-20,332177,Laura,Very simple apartment but has everything you need.  We never met Craig but he is super easy to reach and very responsive.  One night there was a power outage due to a huge and exciting thunder/ lightening storm: Craig was quick to make sure we had candles and a flashlight.  It's located in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. 
3819181,30792887,2015-04-27,18882666,Tom,"Craig's apartment is a secluded gem, walking distance to all that Austin has. I had a hard time extracting myself from the cozy furnishings and actually going out in Austin to see and do things. The location is terrific and the whole place is well appointed, well equipped, and a solid place in general. Can't beat the price and Craig is really responsive. 10/10 would stay here again, and probably will the next time I'm in Austin. "
3819181,31336809,2015-05-04,170376,Andre,"Craig is a friendly host, and the apartment is light and very comfortable, with a cozy 'tree house' feel, in one of Austin's most pleasant and historically significant neighborhoods. The beers in the refrigerator are a fine touch."
3819181,32001055,2015-05-12,31148435,Katherine,Craig's place was perfect. This was my first air bnb experience and I will definitely continue to air bnb. Craig's place is in a great part of Austin. There were beautiful homes lining his street. The garage apartment was very clean and the bed very comfortable. He had beer in the fridge and provided instructions for the stay and recommendations for some places to eat.
3819181,33085257,2015-05-25,1782853,Laura,"Craig's place was a perfect spot in Austin.  It's located in a gorgeous neighborhood on a quiet street. Easy to get around Austin - short drive to downtown.  The place is bright and airy, Shiner Bock in the fridge - very comfortable.  We really appreciate it when the host is so flexible and not tied to a definite time of arrival.  Easy transaction and Craig is available when/if needed.  "
3819181,33426727,2015-05-28,25762457,Daniel,"Really glad we chose Craig's place for our first AirBnB experience. Craig was really helpful the whole time and stayed in contact with us when we arrived late into town due to bad weather, even had cold beers waiting for us, which after a 14 hour trip were just what we needed. 
Apartment was clean and tidy, just as it looked in the photos, and had plenty of space, bigger than most 1 bed apartments in London. Great location, nice and quiet on a really pretty street but within walking distance to cafes and restaurants and only a 5 minute car ride to the city centre. 
Beware of the cute dog, once she's on you for attention your not getting away easily. "
3819181,36517239,2015-06-29,30426680,Kathryn,"My husband and I had a great experience this past weekend in the comfy 1/1 apartment. Quiet and scenic neighborhood location just a couple minutes from downtown Austin and the Shoal Creek trails. Craig was always responsive to our questions and made our stay very convenient and comfortable. Super clean apartment, Shiner beer in the fridge, dvd's to watch, cool air conditioning and fans for a hot summer day, and comfy linens and towels. Even got a chance to use two of the bikes mentioned in the AirB&B description. No complaints whatsoever; would stay here again! Thank you, Craig!"
3819181,37605812,2015-07-08,3102421,Shagun,"We stayed at Craig's place for about 5 days. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and an easy walk to local coffee shops, places to eat and a couple of parks. The place itself is basic with a kitchen, bathroom, living space, and bedroom, and serves the purpose very well. It was clean and well air conditioned which was a boon in the hot texas weather and had all that we needed. "
3819181,46188096,2015-09-08,41264529,Terri,"Craig's place is fantastic. Perfect size, great neighborhood, ample street parking and, like the other reviews have mentioned, the beer in the fridge is a nice touch. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to everything we needed. We visited over Labor Day, when the Texas heat is not walking friendly, but the grocery store is seconds away (we opted to cook breakfast and lunch at home), as well as a great selection of bars, restaurants and shops. Craig also offers wifi and an excellent movie selection. And while we did not get a chance to meet our host in person, he did keep in touch and was available if we needed anything extra.

Excellent experience (as a first time Airbnb user) and my fingers are crossed that Craig's place is available the next time I'm in Austin!"
3819181,49761014,2015-10-06,28874148,Rose,"We had an awesome stay at Craig's place. The location and neighborhood was perfect, and we had everything we needed in the adorable apartment. The cold beers and Netflix were a great touch after a long flight, and his dog was cute and friendly as well!"
3819181,50612301,2015-10-13,17147436,Simon,"The apartment was just as described. Very pleasant, light and cool thanks to the good air con. It has a good range of extras like DVDs, Games and a selection of beers in the fridge which was very welcome. Craig is very helpfull and answered all questions very promptly. The use of his bikes was also very handy to get to Zilker park where we were attending ACL. Highly recomended !  "
3819181,51457708,2015-10-20,9319327,Hitesh,Great location! Craig was very responsive to questions...we had a pleasant experience at his property. The DVDs were much appreciated so we could kick back and relax when we were tired from being out all day!
3819181,52204505,2015-10-27,27125845,Lesley,"Craig's place was super cute.  It's on a quiet street and next to so many great eateries.  You are about a 5 min drive from downtown.  The place was exactly as described but better.  Super comfy bed, great light, and Netflix was a bonus.  The pictures are perfectly described.  We didn't see Craig during our stay but he left a list of suggestions and answered all of our questions.  I would definitely recommend staying here when you come to Austin. "
1592065,8158570,2013-10-18,901685,Naomi,"We had an amazing stay with Desirae and her four adorable whippets. The apartment was modern, stylish and had absolutely everything you could possible require for a stay in Austin and then some! The apartment  also had a pool and lounge observation deck with views of downtown. The location was a quiet street within walking distance to cafés, restaurants, shopping and Zilker Park. There were also two bikes that we used to get around the neighborhood. Desirae and her mum welcomed us into their family and we enjoyed hanging out with them. It was good old fashioned Austin hospitality! We loved our stay there and couldn't recommend this place more highly."
1592065,8420916,2013-10-29,8996990,Kelly,"This was my first time to Austin but my husband has been several times before and was pretty picky about where we stayed since he wanted me to see the highlights of this city.  We liked the pictures of Desirae's house and they accurately represent what the loft actually looks like. It's beautiful.  Thoroughly modern, immaculately clean, incredible views from the bedroom and from the top floor deck (which has chairs and a table).  Desirae met us when we arrived even though we got in late (almost 1am) and showed us around the loft.  She contacted us beforehand to see if there was anything in particular we needed (just coffee and oj) and she had it ready for us along with other welcoming treats.  

The location was perfect for our needs. We walked to breakfast at Magnolia Cafe and South Congress Cafe and drinks at Hotel San Jose.  We also discovered an amazing French bakery on Annie Street that makes wonderful macarons and a crobrio that is very decadent.  (I highly recommend hitting this bakery.) We were also very near to Town Lake where you can rent canoes or kayaks. Desirae also had bikes available for us to use.  

We highly recommend staying here if you're making a trip to Austin.  Thank you Desirae for making your beautiful place available. "
1592065,8836822,2013-11-20,1277659,Patrick,"As you can see from the photos, this gorgeous Austin home is a destination spot in itself. We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. 

Thanks again to Desirae and her mother for making our Austin trip as fabulous as it was."

Unfortunately it was pretty cold on our trip, but we still made use of the outdoor kitchen/BBQ area and 3rd floor deck."

1592065,10468124,2014-02-20,465884,Becky,"I had never been to Austin and I have always wanted to visit, my husband and I decided to take a quick trip down and we are so glad we did!

Our stay in Austin couldn't have been better. Desirae, her mother, Cynthia, and their 4 sweet whippets were the most welcoming hosts imaginable. Desirae was quick to communicate and easy to make arrangements with. Upon our delayed arrival late on a Saturday night, Desirae showed us around the place and kindly welcomed us with a thoughtfully stocked fridge full of locally sourced snacks, drinks and coffee for the morning. We immediately felt right at home. 

The house is absolutely stunning and flawlessly designed inside and out. Waking up every morning to the sounds of chirping birds and the sun shining through the heritage Live Oak trees through the floor to ceiling windows was incredible. We enjoyed our daily morning coffees on the roof deck, taking in the view of downtown and the beautiful backyard. It wasn't quite warm enough to enjoy the pool but I have a feeling we'll be back once the weather warms up. We were so grateful for the two bicycles that Desirae provided, we didn't even need a rental car. We were able to ride all around Austin by bike, it was an ideal way to experience this vibrant city. 

The house is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but close enough walk to the action on South 1st Street and South Congress. Downtown is an easy bike ride away, just across Town Lake/Colorado River. The amenities Desirae provides are endless, she has honestly thought of everything. The internet, sound system, snacks, bikes and toiletries were spot on. We were so comfortable here that we felt torn between exploring Austin or just staying in and enjoying this pristine space. 

I highly recommend Desirae's place to anyone who is looking for modern luxury in a relaxed yet stunning environment. Desire's hospitality is above and beyond, true Texas congeniality at it's finest. Book this place, you will be so glad you did."
1592065,10903543,2014-03-12,676990,Elizabeth,"I had the pleasure of staying in the loft at Desirae's modern home, and loved it. Not only was the apartment beautiful, clean and comfortable, but the property is convenient to downtown (the bus was super easy, close and took just a few minutes), and South Congress was walking distance. Desirae and her mom were generous hosts and I would highly recommend their property!"
1592065,10971581,2014-03-15,12993337,Kyle,"This is a great deal for an amazing space! It's brand new, impeccably clean and the outdoor space is beautiful & relaxing.  Details were not spared when they built this place, and that trend continues with all the little touches that make your rental experience special.  There was even fresh fruit on the counter when i arrived.  Desirae is a great hostess and I will definitely rent here again.  "
1592065,12225571,2014-04-26,383238,Paal,"Wonderful property! Stayed for one week and enjoyed every minute of it. The house is beautifully designed and with the roof top patio, the outdoor BBQ kitchen and the great pool area, this is one of the best properties I have found on Airbnb so far. Thank you for your hospitality Desirae :)   "
1592065,12622399,2014-05-06,6280721,Joshua,"We really enjoyed our stay in Desirae's modern cube guest house.  Desirae and her mom were great hosts and their four Whippets were very friendly with our puppy.  The guest house is in a very good location, close to Downtown and Zilker Park, with plenty of restaurants nearby.  We would absolutely stay with Desirae again when we return to Austin."
1592065,13070448,2014-05-19,7105123,Maxime Alexis,"Amazing stay. Austin is now one of my favorite cities in the US, and Desirae's place was a big part of this experience. It is ideally located with great food and shopping close by and city center at walking distance. The apartment is extremely well conceived and beautiful. Desirae and her Mom are fantastic hosts. I will go back any time I can! A couple of notes: The apartment is private but the garden and patio are shared with the hosts. Also there are four lovely dogs in the house. I love dogs, but some might not feel the same. Also, not related to the house: Austin is a real pain when it comes to finding taxis. It is overall quite cycling-friendly by American standards so I would advise anyone to make sure to rent bicycles or a car. There is a local taxi app (hailacab) but it's not very reliable. Hopefully Uber will work there next time I go."
1592065,15432994,2014-07-08,17548101,Simon,"Desirae and Cynthia were very gracious hosts. The home is very comfortable. We really enjoyed the pool and laying in the hammock. Great Location!! We would highly recommend. 
"
1592065,20891956,2014-10-07,14718765,Steve,The house was wonderful and exactly as the photos depicted. Desirae is a great host and went out of her way to make sure we were happy. Great location too. 
1592065,21308255,2014-10-14,18826902,Josh,"This place is absolutely fantastic.  Everything was spot-on as described and my wife and I had the most wonderful time here.  We didn't get to spend as much time as we liked at the property just b/c we were at ACL for quite a bit of the time, but it was very luxurious and Desirae and her mom were truly wonderful hosts.  Desirae even offered up a Jawbone so we could listen to music up on the top outside deck.   The only thing I personally regret is not getting to spend more time just hanging out there - in the pool or in the backyard.  Definitely worth every penny!"
1592065,22212023,2014-11-01,22848908,Mark,"Perfect!  House was as advertised, peaceful, private, and comfortable.  Desirae was a terrific host."
1592065,22354974,2014-11-04,18405130,Korey,We were very pleased with the warm welcome.  The house exceeded expectations.  The location was ideal.  The added bonus of the backyard sancuary.  It was very clean and secure.
1592065,26618633,2015-02-16,2558457,Kristen,"fabulous on so many levels....greeted by Cynthia, Desirae's lovely mom who checked us in and shared the details of the property.  The property is built around very mature oak trees with the feeling that you are living in a modern day tree house, with windows positioned to maximize the natural environment as well as your privacy.

The location is very central in a neighborhood that is walkable and bike able.  The house is across from a park as well.

We drove Car2Go while in Austin, which there was always one parked close by if needed.

Desirae owns a yoga studio in town and as a fellow yogi, I practiced at Breathe and Balance yoga twice.  Loved the yoga practice and community.

The house is beyond beautiful, appointed in every way, with a roof top deck with views of downtown Austin, a perfect place to lounge, write or read.  We also enjoyed poolside for a glass of wine and reading.

We will be back to visit Desirae, Cynthia and the tree house very soon!"
1592065,27350709,2015-03-02,4660073,Chris,This is a great house in a great location. Very welcoming too! 
1592065,28106452,2015-03-17,3251614,Sola,I had a great stay at Desirae's place. The space is absolutely beautiful - the feel of a resort and it was thoughtfully stocked with everything a guest could need. Her mom was my host and showed me a lot of Texan hospitality that made my trip so pleasant. It's attached to their home and the suite is best suited for couples or friends who are okay with sharing a room. I would certainly stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a great place walking distance from South Congress.
1592065,28500546,2015-03-24,3588106,Rachel,"Absolutely loved staying at Desirae's gorgeous treetop home! The suite was clean and modern and the grounds were absolutely lovely. Both Desirae and Cynthia were so warm and welcoming, while somehow maintaining privacy. It was abundantly clear that the property is a well-loved haven. I was also very appreciative of them for allowing my two Bichons to accompany me. Waking up to the cooing birds each morning was a blessing and I couldn't have been more pleased for the privilege. Thank you!"
1592065,28905737,2015-03-31,20369502,Steven,"Had a fantastic time last weekend and our hosts Cynthia and Desirae were terrific and very helpful in every way. The place is even more beautiful that the pictures show. A tranquil and unique oasis amidst the fun of the Bouldin Creek area (filled with great stores, restaurants and entertainment...all within a short walk).  Our hosts had thought of everything one could need and the hospitality (and thought) regarding their guests was highly evident and greatly appreciated.  In a quiet residential area but close to the fun.

It was a privilege to stay in such a unique property with such nice folks and I plan to stay again on my next visit!  "
1592065,29319945,2015-04-06,8913653,Malcolm,"Desirae and her mum were amazing hosts (as was Coco).

The property itself was beautiful - probably the nicest we've stayed at using airbnb. And it's located in a great neighborhood - very convenient for getting anywhere in central Austin, and never more than a $10 uber ride when we weren't driving ourselves.

Desirae and her mum made sure we had everything we needed, and were quick to offer advice/tips/ideas. And Desirae and her boyfriend even invited us up to drinks on the roof deck with their friends.

Couldn't have asked for more. Would highly recommend. 

"
1592065,29860563,2015-04-13,1566737,Murphey,"Even though I encountered rainy weather, the house and accommodations made the visit to Austin extremely relaxing and fun. The house is very clean and the hosts were super nice and there was a lot of respect to privacy even in a shared home. Too bad it was too cold to swim!

Thanks again!

Murphey"
1592065,30790092,2015-04-27,15487735,David,"Desirae's ""dream house"" is truly a dream house.  I am a former Travis Heights resident and frequent Austin visitor, but this experience was truly like none other.  
The house, grounds, rooftop deck, pool area and neighborhood are even better than the description.  Truly a one-of-a-kind house so much so that we made it a point to take breaks during daily activities to get back and savor the pool and house.
Desirae was a fantastic host and it included everything we could want.  Waking up to the surreal, almost modern treehouse setting was a joy every day, as was taking in the rooftop deck & views.  I have been spoiled by many previous Austin stays at Hotel San Jose and private residences, but this dream house tops them all.  Whether you are in town for an event -- Food & Wine, ACL, SxSW -- or just to carouse, this location is the perfect launching off point AND a great escape at the end of the day.
Many, many thanks, I look forward to future visits!"
1592065,31939322,2015-05-12,21840246,Marisa,"Our stay in Desirae's house was perfect! The space is beautiful and comfortable with great views of the yard and downtown.All of the outdoor spaces are amazing,and the pool was a perfect place to hang out and drink a few beers in during the balmy afternoons.. Desirae and Cynthia were great, friendly hosts, who were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. It was a wonderful place to come back to after a long day at a festival! Next time I'm in Austin, I will definitely be looking to come back here! Highly recommended!"
1592065,33232648,2015-05-26,25079779,Madison,"We very  much enjoyed our stay at Desirae's. A majority of our interaction was with Desirae's mother who could not have been a more welcoming host. The stocked mini fridge with essential items such as OJ, beer, and chips & salsa, was a great personal touch. The home is very beautiful and well-represented in the photos. "
1592065,37484954,2015-07-07,212563,Chrissie,"Desirae and her mom, Cynthia,were amazing hosts!! I stayed in their beautiful glass treehouse for a month and never wanted to leave. So peaceful! A tropical oasis in Austin. I scooted around on her Vespa and bicycle and they took me under their wing at their yoga studio. Southern hospitality at its best. My best airb&b stay ever! Many thanks for a memorable stay! "
1592065,42886107,2015-08-16,35465115,Audra,We had a great stay!! Very comfortable and perfect location to everything including the best restaurants in town! The pool and grounds were especially nice. The room was very spacious as well. We highly recommend staying here! 
1592065,43582352,2015-08-20,7305219,Sascha,without a doubt the best airbnb host and experience i've ever had.
1592065,47994485,2015-09-22,41629192,Izzy,"We could not have found a more perfect paradise.  The apt itself was handsome and very clean, with all the necessary amenities and more.  Desirae & Cynthia (& their lovely pups!) were very welcoming and accommodating, plus gave many good suggestions for local places to visit.  We highly recommend visiting this Austin gem if you have the opportunity!"

The location is perfect (close to my favorite restaurants, shops and people), the space is peaceful, beautiful and well appointed with everything I needed for the week. Desirae and her mom Cynthia went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable the entire time. I will definitely be staying here again!

"
1592065,52062588,2015-10-26,5610713,Josh,"Desirae and Cynthia were awesome hosts. They were able to have the place ready for our early arrival, and were responsive to all requests. The main second floor was a little smaller than we anticipated, but it was definitely well-designed, clean, and comfortable. We didn't get to use the pool bc it rained pretty much the entire time we were there, but the first floor kitchen/living area and pool are sweet. 

Highly recommend this place."
3727462,18861935,2014-09-01,16906325,Nicole,"Staying at Thao and Steven's house was such a pleasant experience. They were not home during my stay but provided me with detailed instructions about everything in a little yellow folder. Their home is located on a quiet street close to downtown which was super convenient and peaceful. Comfy bed and awesome rain shower, too! I will be staying here again the next time I'm in Austin! "
3727462,20770244,2014-10-05,8363274,Brooke,"Thao's place was lovely, immaculate and a great place to come home to. We appreciated every detail!"
3727462,21217549,2014-10-13,2299083,Noe,"The cottage was great, and equipped with more than I expected which made my weekend in Austin even better. It was clean, cozy, and had great interior character. I really would have loved to spend more time on the back deck but the rain that weekend didn't allow much. Kudos to interior decor and taste."
3727462,23974115,2014-12-15,16599466,Rachel,The house was adorable and Thao was a wonderful host. Thank you Thao for a wonderful first AirBNB experience!
3727462,24963033,2015-01-04,23721661,John,We had an awesome time in Austin and Thao was the best host and very responsive to all of our needs. The home is very cozy and everything we needed was right there! Perfect!
3727462,25732140,2015-01-24,26332862,Ashley,"Thao's home was amazing!! I seriously couldn't believe how much thought has gone into making this an enjoyable experience for her guests. Bright, cheerful, cozy and modern - it was everything my bf and I were looking for during our weekend get away. The joke of the weekend became that Thao and Stephen were our parents bc we kept finding little things we needed -- Coconut oil? Check. Apple Cider Vinegar? Check. Shampoo that made my hair smell good? Check. The location is quiet and conveniently located. Thao was kind and easy to get ahold of. I highly recommend booking with Thao over a hotel any day. Your stay will be soooo much more enjoyable and she has every spice known to man in her kitchen :)"
3727462,26202325,2015-02-06,2259858,Wendy,"What an adorable cottage. Great place to stay. Everything was very clean, organized, great communication, easy check-in and out.

3727462,28087416,2015-03-17,27967163,Darbi,The house was perfect! Would use stay here again for sure. The house was clean and reminded me a lot of my place in Boise. 
3727462,28344072,2015-03-22,18759161,Voice,"This home was AWESOME!

SUPER clean, extra comfortable and fully equipped w/everything you will need for a fantastic stay in Austin.  My favorite place was the back deck and large yard to catch the morning sun and friendly conversation with Thao and Stephen's neighbor, Dennis.

Thao was a gracious host and although she was out of the country during my stay, she handled all of my accommodations and needs better than hosts who are merely a phone call away.  These two understand comfort, quality movies, and peace.

I WILL be back!

Much Love

3727462,30253901,2015-04-19,14882244,Laura,We loved the house. Everything was great. Thao responded quickly when I had questions. The neighborhood was quiet and nice. Her next door neighbor was very nice and offered to help if we needed anything. I would stay here again.
3727462,30645359,2015-04-25,31424593,Lindsey,"I had a wonderful stay at the cottage. It was as described, cute and comfortable. I would definitely come back and stay any time. It has great south Austin charm and Thao is a wonderful hostess! "

3727462,38026542,2015-07-12,34740320,Leslie,Great cozy home! The host was very helpful & made our stay away from our home very comfortable. It was fun & enjoyable!

3727462,49260458,2015-10-02,9755951,Mario,"Thao's house is great. Nice wood floors, comfortable main bed, and an even more comfortable sofa bed. The home is very cozy and was clean when we arrived. Really well-decorated, to the point where you could spend an hour looking at all the cool stuff they have on display. House was also well stocked with food, towels, dozens of DVD movies, free Netflix, classic Nintendo NES, etc. Very inviting. 

Although we didn't meet in person, Thao was a very friendly and responsive host and she answered all of our questions quickly. 

The only downsides? This house is pretty old. So of course there are few areas that need updates & work. But that just adds to the ambiance, and if you like cool old houses you'll really like this place. And the updates that Thao has added are really nice (Nest thermostat, brand new stove & dishwasher, etc.)

9/10. Would stay here again. 

"
3727462,49423491,2015-10-04,34196252,Lauryn,"We felt so welcomed. The house was very clean and Thao was completely prepared for guests. She had a list of good restaurants and was very responsive when we had any questions. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had anything we needed to cook; we also used the back porch to eat outside which was great since the weather was so beautiful. This was a great place to stay, if I ever come back to Austin I will definitely try to book with Thao and Steven again!  "
3727462,50433490,2015-10-12,35974064,Valentina,"We had such an amazing stay at their cottage! We found out that we had the same interests in TMNT and Totoro and my boyfriend and I just thought of it as the perfect sign, haha. Their cottage was really comfortable to stay at and you can just tell how much love they have put into the design of it all. If we ever get the chance to come back to Austin, we will definitely be staying here again!"
3727462,52037462,2015-10-26,1188111,C.Y.,"One of my favorite airbnb experiences. The house was modest outside, but the interior felt magical. Our family of two adults and two children spent a very comfortable, happy long weekend here. "

The outdoor living space was great.  The neighborhood pool was only 2 blocks away.  Only a $10 Uber to get downtown.  The place was very very clean when we arrived.  I got a phone call from the company to make sure I arrived and if I had any questions.  I thought this was a great experience and would definitely recommend and stay again!  Thanks so much for making my weekend a success!!!"
5614297,36316402,2015-06-27,16480048,Eva,"The house was as new, beautiful and well maintained as described.  It is located in a safe community of modern town houses within walking distance to a huge supermarket and shops like Starbucks and nail spa.  It only takes 10-15 minutes to drive to UT Austin and downtown and also a short ride to other famous Austin locations like Barton Spring and the Domain.  The beautiful swimming pool two blocks away plus the garage and new air con of the house kept us cool in the Austin heat.  The electronic key made check in and check out quick and simple.  We were informed that the dryer was not working on arrival.  Turnkey management sent repairman the next morning and had it fixed promptly.  The wifi was fast and worked all over the house.  We had a wonderful week staying at this house and extremely glad to have picked this as our home to explore Austin."

And was only a text away if I had any questions (esp. helpful in the middle of my run when I almost got lost).  And was wonderfully understanding when I had to rush out because of the class I was teaching at UT.

In addition, her place is stylish & homey.  The teepee bed is a genius touch.  Made me feel like I was a kid again."
673379,2544438,2012-10-08,3422637,John,Had a great time in Austin celebrating my wife's birthday. House was great for a large group. We never felt like we were on top of each other and had plenty of space to hangout in the living room and kitchen together. 
673379,2749569,2012-10-29,3515180,Thuy Oanh,"Oh, where do I begin?! A group of 12 of us went down to Austin for the weekend just for some R&R. The house was amazing. The beds were very comfortable and the couches were even more comfortable. One of the guest actually prefer sleeping on the couch instead! The house only had sleeping accommodations for 8 but we brought aerobeds . Jose let us know that in advance as well. The kitchen and living room are spacious so we could all hang out together. Unfortunately, it was a little too chilli out to swim but the backyard as well as the pool were beautiful! We did sit out to eat dinner. Jose was very accommodating. He allowed us to check in and out at anytime. I seriously kept pushing back the checkout time because I did not want to leave the couch! Jose responded to my emails very fast. His family was out of town so he provided me with his brother's number in case I needed assistance immediately. there were plenty of toiletries and towels for us to use. This was my first time using airbnb. I had such a great experience because Jose was such a great host! "

All the arrangements were simple and straightforward and all our questions were quickly answered. The house is absolutely beautiful and felt like a 5 star hotel with a homey feel. They thought of everything and every available amenity was provided. Every bed (and couch!) is comfortable and everything is CLEAN. The pool and hot tub are so perfect, especially when you can move easily from one to the other. The location is convenient to anything you'll want to do in/near Austin. And best of all, the price is extremely reasonable and a real value. We will definitely want to come back next year! "

This is the one place I've stayed where the home and experience were actually even better in person than they appeared in the photos! The hot tub, waterfall-equipped pool, amazing deck and grill space, and insanely comfortable couches made for a weekend to remember.  We comfortably slept six guys in the house.  If I'm ever in Austin again, I'd be honored to stay again."

Would love yo stay here again and again and again!!!"
673379,10917169,2014-03-13,5763039,Mads,"This house is so amazing. We were 6 guys in the house, and had such a great time. José and Maryna are so sweet and helpful. The house is gorgeous and have sooo much space. The area is great and quite, and really close to anything, stores, restaurants, and by car it took us 15 min. to get to downtown Austin.
We are very happy that we were so lucky to choose this place.
Thanks for a great experience  in Texas:-)"
673379,10987015,2014-03-16,424477,Elle,"Jose's house is beautiful and is in a beautiful neighborhood that is super close to everything. 
I had a very large crew of people with me from work so I was a bit stressed feeling like I was babysitting them, but when they were gone, I totally took advantage of the hot tub, the comfy couch and giant tv. 
Lots of space, the beds were super comfy. Lots of bathrooms too! 
Jose and his wife were super nice and very helpful about everything. "
673379,12860634,2014-05-12,6452381,Jen,"I stayed here for a bachelorette weekend with a total of 9 women and it was a fantastic experience! Hosts were responsive and generous (even giving a free ride to the airport to some of the girls whose cab didn't show up!!). The house was incredibly clean and spacious. The outdoor patio and pool area was gorgeous and a great place to sit and hang out. It's a little bit outside of the city, but the slight inconvenience is made up for with the quiet and peacefulness of the neighborhood. There was a table big enough for all of us to eat at both indoors and outdoors and a comfortable living room area. I would stay here again!"
673379,13069500,2014-05-19,12779089,Nikki,"The house was great. We were a little concerned that the house isn't in Austin proper, but it was in a great location! You are practically in Austin! The pool and hot tub were amazing. Kitchen has everything you need to make a great dinner for a large group. Jose was great to work with over airbnb and Maryna was very attentive during our stay. Would definitely recommend this place for a large group looking for a relaxing stay!"
673379,13356206,2014-05-26,14143226,Stephanie,"Easy check in and very accommodating. Big beautiful house with full kitchen. Only had minor issues with the tv by working and master toilet not flushing but had it fixed promptly within 2 hours of alerting them. After that, our weekend was great! "
673379,14180077,2014-06-14,973857,Curt,"Jose and Maryna's house was perfect for our family. The pool was relaxing and they provided everything we needed for our stay - towels, fully stocked kitchen and a bonus - a washer/dryer! The neighborhood is upscale and quiet and close to grocery shopping, restaurants etc, and is fairly close to south lamar happenings... Hopefully we'll be back to Austin soon - I would stay here again. "
673379,18322117,2014-08-25,17787932,Manikandan,"Great house. Ideal for larger groups. Owners were very easy to work with. We slept 15 guys with no major issues( split queen beds)

Great pool grill and deck"
673379,18791789,2014-09-01,3389596,Lesley,"Jose and his wife were amazing, they called before we arrived to give us details about the house and surrounding area. There were 9 girls and the house was perfect for us and very well kept, pool was great! We are so happy we stayed here!"
673379,19216968,2014-09-08,19346871,Nico,"We rented the house from a friday-monday for a bachelor party. The house worked out great, it was very spacious and we had a group of 14. Perfect for entertaining. Jose and Maryna had everything ready for us upon our arrival. It wasn't nearly as far from downtown as we had imagined, about a $25 cab ride, although uber rates were a bit higher later in the evening. We took full advantage of the pool, hot tub and grill as well. 
We had a slight problem with the air conditioning in the main areas, where it never dropped below 80 degrees ( though in the master bedroom the air was working properly as I believe there were two separate ac units) Maryna was quick to respond to our concerns and she sent an ac repair man. Unfortunately, we were gone when they came and he was limited on what he could work on. We were leaving the following day so we didn't pursue the issue any further. Other than that, the house was perfect. "
673379,20813574,2014-10-06,16932274,Brendan,"This house may actually be NICER than the pictures make it look, and as you can see the pictures make it look pretty nice. Jose was extremely helpful via email leading up to our trip and Maryna was as nice as could be, warm in her greeting, and simply a pleasure to meet. She was at the house when we arrived in order to give us a tour of their home and provided us with a home manual which clearly explained all we needed to know.  Again, the home is beautiful, the location is excellent (about a 10 min. drive from downtown) and the owners are easy to work with. If we're able to make it back to Austin we'd be hard pressed to stay anywhere else. "
673379,22519904,2014-11-09,18098998,Elizabeth,12 ladies stayed at Jose and Maryna's for 2 nights for a bachelorette trip. All the guests were very impressed and pleased with the accommodations. Very nice location. We used uber and can system to travel into downtown Austin. The ride was short and affordable. 
673379,29719783,2015-04-12,22341552,Stephanie,Jose & Maryna were great hosts for our stay at their home for a bachelorette party with 13 ladies. They have a gorgeous house with a great pool and hot tub that was just an uber ride away from downtown Austin. They were very responsive and helpful with any questions that we had prior to and during our stay. The home is exactly as they described and in perfect condition. They made us feel welcome the moment we arrived and we enjoyed every minute of our stay!
673379,31160399,2015-05-03,723115,Becki,"My husband had the privilege staying at the Flores' house for a friend's bachelor party in May 2015. He had such an amazing time and said the house was AMAZING! All the guys had a great time as well and said if they were to come back to Austin, that this would be the place they'd stay again! They also said that the Flores' were extremely warm, welcoming and helpful. Leading up to the show the communication was very clear and easy! Such a pleasure to work with and we were VERY happy! Thanks! Stay here, you WON'T be disappointed!"
673379,32321401,2015-05-17,27009976,Todd,"We pulled up to the house and were pleasantly surprised! The house is situated in a very nice residential area about 15-20 minutes from downtown Austin. Maryna was there to greet us and showed us around the house- she even had a few cold drinks waiting for us! The house was perfect for our group of 14 guys on a bachelor party. Staying in a house vs hotel was a way better experience- we were all together, had a place to hang w/ an outdoor space/pool, and a place to pregame before going out. All around a great home base for our group (also- closer to salt lick than downtown). Only downside is that you have to iver everywhere but it wasn't too bad. Would definitely stay again with a large group!"
673379,32963132,2015-05-24,1002923,Alexandra,"We had an excellent time at Jose's house. He was so helpful answering all my questions leading up to the trip and his house was great for entertaining.  I hosted a bachelorette weekend here and was able to use the kitchen, backyard, and living room with plenty of space for all 14 guests. "
673379,34269394,2015-06-07,20537652,Ashley,"I recently stayed at this GORGEOUS house over the weekend with 20 girls on a bachelorette trip. We were hoping to relax a little outside of Austin and take advantage of the city at night. There was one review that said it best... ""the house is even more beautiful in person than the pictures.""  Being that we were 20 girls, we were a little hesitant of the space, however, the house was extremely spacious and we never felt on top of each other.
The owners were extremely easy to work with and I would highly recommend the house for bachelor/bachelorette parties as well as family gatherings, etc. Jose always answered any questions within 20 minutes...

The house is 15-20 minutes from Austin and Uber is HUGE down there. Jose had even offered to give us a promo code for $20 off our first ride. 
"
673379,45936240,2015-09-07,30379146,Holly,This was the perfect house for my sister's bachelorette party. Plenty of room for a large group of girls. We loved hanging by the pool each night and it was a short Uber ride from all of our activities including going out downtown! The hosts were so sweet and accommodating. They were quick to respond with any questions we had. I would recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin with a large group who prefers having space for everyone to spread out. 
5638514,28113200,2015-03-17,29346562,Samantha,"Angie was an amazing host! The room, the house, and the neighborhood were exactly as she described! She helped make my visit that much more enjoyable with her hospitality and suggestions with places to go. She offered a private room and private bathroom, and the location was very close to the city.  She has a very friendly and beautiful dog.  I would highly recommend staying with Angie!"
4228274,26719131,2015-02-17,24869704,Edna,"My experience was great staying in this home. It was really cozy and comfy. The room where I stayed had pretty decor, and the bed was pretty big. Christine was very helpful and friendly to me. Although our schedules were very different and we barely were in the house at the same time. The house was warm and overall clean. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to ATX. 
The location of the house was good, and everything was close by. The neighborhood wasn't bad at all."
4228274,30826508,2015-04-27,30205093,Hayley,"My experience was great, and the decor was lovely. I love a nice old house. I spent most of my time out and about, but Christine & her roommate were good hosts."
4228274,32126082,2015-05-14,28067269,James,"Easy going hosts, a quaint little house and a great neighbourhood. A solo traveller like me looking to experience this great city's people and culture could not have asked for more."
4228274,38970460,2015-07-19,31364839,Hayley,"This house is great!  Christine was out of town but her roommate, Emily, made me feel very welcome.  I would definitely recommend staying here."
4228274,40038633,2015-07-27,39078497,Donald,Christine was amazing. I was out and about majority of the time but before I arrived and during my stay I felt nothing but welcomed. Wonderful location close to the highway and downtown. I would definitely stay here again. 
4228274,42900653,2015-08-16,4110720,Max,"Christine's place is in a great location on a quiet street, just a fifteen minute walk from several lively neighborhoods.  Big, comfy bed, nice private room.  Thanks, Christine!"
4228274,45398090,2015-09-02,37000227,James,"This is a lovely little home with everything you could want in walking distance. It is a quiet and leafy neighbourhood that's great to retire to after the boisterous 6th street, which is walking distance. Christine was polite and accommodating when there. I had a wonderful time staying here in Austin.  "
4228274,46317037,2015-09-09,39925366,Corryn,"I arrived shortly after noon and the room was already waiting for me. Christine was the only one in the house this weekend, and she was very friendly and welcoming. The house is old and has character, but it was a good price for its location. I was able to walk to the UT campus no problem, and public transportation is near her house if you're not into walking. I Ubered a few times, and it was super cheap in Austin. This home is very cozy and unique. I loved the different motifs throughout the house. If you're looking for a nice, well priced home in a good neighborhood, check out Christine's place. Christine is a wonderful host! Would definitely stay with her again! :)"
4228274,48123075,2015-09-23,13262918,Glenn,"Nice, comfy place in a good location."
4228274,49046345,2015-09-30,3357017,Angi,Really close to downtown and slept great! Christine is a sweetheart! Made us feel at home like we were roomies. 
4228274,50287608,2015-10-11,4968288,Bianca,Christine was a great hostess. She made it convenient for me to drop off my things before a busy day ahead. I felt comfortable to pass out and get some rest after ACL. Thanks! 
2488935,11031610,2014-03-17,12796433,Nick,"Stacy's home is an absolute gem–clean, comfortable, and only a few minutes' drive from all the great East Austin bars and restaurants. If we ever find ourselves back in Austin, we'll be sure to stay with her again!"
8719974,50582580,2015-10-12,44295408,Raul And Zac,"This was a great stay in the east side, so close to all the hip bars and restaurants popping up here. The place was clean and comfortable."
8635500,49567867,2015-10-04,43961042,Adrien,"I had an awesome time at Jean's !
The appartement is big with a very comfy double bed! Everything was clean. 
Appt is really well located just near University and close to downtown.
I really would recommend that place.
Jean is really nice and welcoming."
8635500,51410279,2015-10-19,1242759,Stella,"Jean was incredibly accomodating. I had a lot of questions and he was so patient and kind in answering. Their cute and tiny apartment was spotless and just the right size for us. The bedroom was lovely and comfortable. He allowed us to come back the next afternoon for a nap and late checkout before our long drive. The neighborhood was safe, and in spite of college party nearby, inside the apartment it was totally quiet. We were visiting friends nearby and it was perfect. HIghly recommend."
5342653,28088530,2015-03-17,5660886,Kevin,Great spot for a quick stay in Austin! Very clean and very new. Easy trip to downtown (maybe 7 min uber?) and walkable to Rainey St. Recommend!
5342653,28399896,2015-03-23,6960546,Brittany,"Julio's place is a brand new renovated apartment. It's very quaint, but it's also cute and nicely decorated. My colleague and I stayed at Julio's place to cover SXSW and he was nice enough to offer us a ride to a local restaurant just a few blocks up. The apartment is only a mile east of the convention center and a cheap Uber ride from all the downtown happenings. Next time I'm in Austin I'll be staying at Julio's apartment again. "
5342653,29801713,2015-04-12,23406252,Philip,Amazing tiny house! More than enough room for 3 people! Great location and contemporary features. Hammock on a green lawn was a plus. 
5342653,30340062,2015-04-20,507532,Lea,"We enjoyed our stay in Austin in this apartment. It is easily accessible to downtown and in a quiet, quirky neighborhood, close to some good restaurants and cafes on Cesar Chavez. 

Julio was very hands-off, which is fine for a host but he did not respond to any of my Air BnB messages before our arrival. Luckily, he responded to my phone calls once we got to the house and told me where the key was. 

The house was in good condition, and it is a very cute in-law type cottage, accessed through a back alley on Lynn Street. The house was missing some key things, like an iron but no ironing board, no closets to hang our clothes in, and not enough toilet paper. Besides that, it was a nice visit."
5342653,32648904,2015-05-19,33308926,Cameron,"Very nice place, great location, easy check in/out process. Thanks Julio!"
5342653,48599046,2015-09-27,854237,Gabe,Everything went well! Never met Julio but he was super responsive the whole time. Thanks!
5342653,50380267,2015-10-11,5071292,Spencer,"The house was really clean and worked great for needing a place to stay during such a busy weekend. But communication with Julio was limited and difficult. On top of that, the place is not in the best part of town. "
5342653,51974500,2015-10-25,46299635,Gustavo,"We had a great time! The found the place as advertised. The place looks new, clean and comfortable. The location is great, it's close to all the attractions in Austin. We will definitely will rent it again."
5342653,52781372,2015-11-01,47340699,Derek,We very much enjoyed staying here. The place was located a short uber/lyft ride away from anywhere you would want to go downtown.
542124,3780050,2013-03-14,4602084,Roslyn,"Sharon and Frank are wonderful, kind, hilarious social people and very active in the community. They have a wealth of knowledge about the Arts the music and happenings in Austin.

I came for the SXSW conference they were accommodating for my needs as a conference guest and then afterwards as a tourist having fun.

The room is 5 star, renovated gorgeous bathroom, the house is beautifully decorated.

Frank and Sharon were generous lots of fun to be around they truly have a passion for travellers and love to share the joys of life. You will have a marvellous time at their place as well as out and about at all the music and Arts venues in Austin."
542124,10885632,2014-03-11,4594091,Barry,"Sharon and Frank are the people you hope to meet via AirBnb. Kind, hospitable, full of local knowledge and interesting people to spend time with. 

I cannot recommend them enough. I'll certainly stay with them again next time I'm in town.  "
542124,10953193,2014-03-15,9407939,Saki,It was really fun to stay with them!! :) The room is so comfortable. Also they're so kind and knowledgeble. I want to be back there again!
542124,28080104,2015-03-17,827680,Elizabeth,"Sharon and Frank are thoughtful, delightful and knowledgable. They treated me as if I were a guest at a Bed and Breakfast with welcome cards, snacks and treats. Everything in the house was at my disposal. The beautifully decorated, comfortable home is in a neighborhood close to all the hip,  restaurants and bars and less than 2 miles from downtown. Definitely go to Figure 8 Coffee, East Side Pies, Three Little Pigs while there. "
542124,28464548,2015-03-24,8224653,Kate,"I had a wonderful time staying at Sharon and Frank's place - the house is beautiful and the room is very comfortable and well appointed, and the private bathroom is a huge plus.  Everything is spotlessly clean.  I went for sxsw and found the location to be good - it's not right in the middle of things, and is easy to get around using a taxi or car service.  Transit is also close by.  Sharon and Frank are incredibly friendly and warm - always helpful with suggestions and made me feel very welcome in their home.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again or to recommend their place to anyone.  "
542124,33305394,2015-05-26,15473805,Yasmin,"I don't know what I can say about Sharon and Frank to convey the right amount of appreciation for their hospitality and kindness! Sweet, laid-back couple with a beautiful home!  The room was clean and quiet, the bathroom was well stocked with everything we needed- towels, wash cloths, shampoo/soaps, feminine hygiene products. You can really tell that Sharon and Frank have put a lot of thought and consideration into their hosting process.  Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin, and would definitely come back! "
542124,49930549,2015-10-07,44868190,Jacqueline,"Sharon was out of town, so Frank made me feel very welcome.  There was fruit, tea (and coffee, but I don't drink coffee), and a snack to take with me on my flight home.  Although I didn't have time to ride, Frank had a bike ready for me.  The neighborhood is good for both walking and biking.  I did plenty of walking.

Lovely house, porches, comfortable (website hidden), wifi, and 2 friendly cats to make me feel at home."
5527298,28151806,2015-03-18,29293739,Kenneth,"Nathan's place was perfect for our group of five.  We visited Austin for three days during the beginning of SXSW, and the apartment was only a few minute drive/Uber ride away from a lot of the festivities and general Austin attractions.  The place was very spacious and clean, and Nathan was very responsive with any questions we had (plus, he had some great suggestions for what we should check out while we were in town).  I'd highly recommend this place!"
5527298,28345701,2015-03-22,21645019,Justin,"Nathan was a great host! Adjusted the check in time for us and was waiting for us when we arrived. Super nice guy. Showed us everything we needed to know and responded immediately if we ever had a question. Great, quiet neighborhood just out side of town. The place is exactly as described. 3 nice big bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and very comfortable. All in all thanks to Nathan, we didn't have 1 worry about where we were staying on our trip to Austin from Chicago. "
5632917,30356643,2015-04-20,31134822,Gabby,"We loved our stay with Jessie, she was wonderful! Our stay was short, but very sweet and easy because we chose to stay here. The place was absolutely spotless, very organized and just as described. She was always in communication with me and made everything so easy. We didn't get to meet until the day we were leaving, but she was so sweet to bring us coffee to our room and even offered to make us some breakfast tacos! I would highly recommend staying with Jessie and we'll probably stay here again! "
5632917,30845850,2015-04-27,31802223,Trebia,"Words can not truly express how awesome it was to have my first ever airbnb experience at Jessie's place. She was awesome, kind, friendly, welcoming and one of the nicest people that I met in Austin. She offered to make us coffee, breakfast, anything we needed. Her energy is refreshing and amazing!! I couldn't ask for a better host, neighborhood, or a better place to stay! Thank you Jessie, I am sure our paths will cross again!!"
5632917,33396951,2015-05-27,332505,Alexandra,We had the best time staying with Jessie in Austin. The location was perfect - a quick taxi or longer stroll into downtown and close to the very cool SoCo area. Jessie was so welcoming and friendly - could not have asked for a better host or air bnb experience. 
5632917,34925337,2015-06-13,8664255,Karin,"Jessie is absolutely amazing. My friend and I stayed 2 nights at Jessie's in Austin. The location was perfect, literally 5 minutes away from everywhere.
The house is super clean, very comfortable bed and nice temperature (important in Austin).
But the most important thing was Jessie! She is a great host, funny, attentive, makes sure that you have everything you need. 
Don't bother to check any other place- that is she has any space available so book ahead!
I will definitely miss her! "
5632917,35053396,2015-06-14,8664255,Karin,"Jessie is amazing. The most amazing host you can wish for.
She was super friendly and we had such a good time with her. She welcomed us with a glass of wine and even made us A special local breakfast. If she has vacancy we should probably book it as soon as possible so he won't miss this amazing opportunity.
The house was clean the room was great everything was just perfect."
5632917,36447971,2015-06-28,35744337,Betsy,"Jessie was a phenomenal host! She and Chloe her dog are very warm and inviting and willing to show/tell newcomers to Austin where to go and what to do. The house is in a fun neighborhood, and the room itself is nice, comfortable, clean and well air-conditioned which is key in the summer :)"
5632917,37421621,2015-07-06,19533818,H. Drew,"From the minute I clicked the ""submit request to stay"" button, Jessie exceeded my expectations for our stay in Austin. Her greeting response time was less than an hour, she answered all of my initial questions with great detail, and she recommended some fantastic restaurants near her quaint, cozy South Austin townhouse. In addition to Jessie's professional hospitality, we arrived to her friendly and well-mannered dog named Chloe (who quickly became one of the highlights of our stay). Our room was beautifully decorated, supplied with towels and toiletries for our private restroom, and immaculately cleaned. The bathroom was spacious and very clean. Jessie graciously let us have the run of the place - I cooked breakfast using her kitchen one morning, we utilized her patio for drinks, and she offered her living room for movie watching.  Every morning, fresh coffee beans, a coffee grinder, and a french press was laid out for our use. At every turn, Jessie anticipated our needs and exceeded our expectations. In conclusion, staying at Jessie's house in South Austin was better than staying at a hotel downtown - it was the perfect balance between bed and breakfast and a family member's home. We could not have asked for a better hostess (or canine companion) for our Texas staycation. If you want to experience the real Austin, skip the Hilton or the DoubleTree and stay here: Trust me, you will not regret it. "
5632917,38238620,2015-07-13,30423192,Evan,"Jessie is everything you want in a host! She was great at communicating before our arrival and waited up late for us. Her house is beautiful and very clean, and she was super friendly! She had great local tips and even printed them out for us. We took her recommendations for great food, inner tubing, and even a winery visit. Hope to see her and Austin again!"
5632917,39843805,2015-07-26,34906128,Cassandra,"Jessie's rental was really nice. The place was clean and very well decorated. Jessie made me and my friend feel very welcome, like we were staying with a friend. She was very friendly and told us about places to go in Austin. I would definitely recommend her place and would stay here again!"
5632917,40062810,2015-07-27,36389460,Marcela,"First thing, me and my 2 friends will definitely go with Jessie for future ATX trips from Houston. Her apartment was cozy, roomy, clean, and awesome. She was extremely nice and pretty hilarious when we arrived. We had absolute privacy when we needed it. We were provided with some typical hotel amenities (toilet paper, clean towels, clean everything)   but not a super sweet dog like hers named Chloe! As a cat person, Chloe was probably the sweetest and chill dog i've ever met. As for responses, Jessie was pretty quick and easy to reach. As for location, she's in the perfect location next to SoCo and the area was very nice and quiet unlike hotels that are usually by freeways.  Totally found the best room to stay in ATX with her!"
5632917,40952035,2015-08-03,37363333,Alleyne,"Jessie's house was a great place to spend our weekend in Austin! She was very hospitable and super chill. The place was clean and well decorated and her dog was the absolute sweetest. 

It was a great experience! "
5632917,42577691,2015-08-14,38653467,Yunyi,"Jessie is so so so so so nice!!! Living in her home just like living in my home,very comfortable,clean,etc."
5632917,43274812,2015-08-18,6771311,Shay,"That was with no doubt one of the greatest airbnb experiences that I've ever had (and I travel quite a lot)! Jessie was an amazing host and made sure that everything will be just great since the moment I arrived, and even before then. The apartment is clean, specious and pleasant, and located in a cool and trendy area. Thank you Jessie for making my time in Austin such a wonderful experience!"
5632917,44146793,2015-08-24,38027666,Scott,Place was great! It is located in the great SOCO area in Austin. Jessie was inviting and very accommodating. This was my first Airbnb stay and it definitely makes me want to use this site again. 
5211601,31137519,2015-05-02,31647524,David,"My first Airbnb stay. I was in Austin for a gig and Chet's place was nearby. 
Had good communication with Chet in the preceding week. He even recommended restaurants nearby. Drove up from Houston, easy to find. Chet met me there. Cool guy. Nice apartment, very clean and comfortable. I had a snooze then headed out for the night. Got back late, no issues though.
A great stay and great value."
5211601,31365543,2015-05-04,11109034,Toyah,"Chet was a great host! Awesome location... 
"
5211601,32432386,2015-05-17,9144013,Mariela,"Accurate listing. On riverside, a very up and coming neighborhood. Close to cool stuff. "
5211601,33110968,2015-05-25,25845069,Rustin,Chet was a great host! Everything we needed was there and our stay here made for a really fun weekend. Great location!
763352,25116641,2015-01-06,25440630,Shoshana,"Lee was a fantastic host.  She went out of her way to welcome me.  The neighborhood is beautiful, the hospitality was truly wonderful.  I would highly recommend Lee and her lovely home.   Thank you!  "
305392,3778855,2013-03-14,3390664,Brooklyn,"Paige's home is a real pleasure to stay in with a very welcoming feel and even a lovely gift upon our arrival. Everything was very clean and accepting of guests. Bathroom towels were plentiful and comfortable. Our group was pleased to find the bedrooms were on a separate floor from the common space, allowing some to head to bed while others stayed up and spent time in the comfort of the living room. We would definitely stay here again! "
305392,28157298,2015-03-19,4751846,Amanda,"This was my third time staying here and it's always a pleasure! Paige always has everything set for a smooth stay in her lovely home. The house is clean and comfortable, all you could ask for while staying in Austin. Just out of reach from downtown (short 15 minute walk), the neighborhood is nice and peaceful and just minutes from the running trails on the lake.  "
305392,28375420,2015-03-23,9232652,Todd,"Amazing home! The home was comfortable inside and out. The front porch and big side grass yard with chairs, table, deck, grill, and hot tub were a fantastic unexpected addition that allowed us to really relax and settle in. We love the neighborhood and were able to easily walk to everything we needed. Paige was always very responsive and communication both prior to booking and post-booking was always quick and easy. The home instruction sheets were very thorough and clearly explained everything. We felt comfortable and at home the instant we walked in the door. We would definitely stay again!"
1117880,8944157,2013-11-27,9018091,Thomas,"Great, great home .. as long as you have a car this is a fantastic place to stay with your family to see the sites in Austin.  We went for a long weekend with our family of 6 (three adults and three teens) and were very comfortable in this home.  The house was immaculate and the amenities were terrific.  We would highly recommend this property and will stay again when returning to Austin.

1117880,10511110,2014-02-23,10634473,Vaughan,"Anique was the perfect host, making us feel welcome in her beautiful home in every way, from clear communication to the thoughtful provision of essentials and stuff for our kids to do, she even cooked us a stew as we were arriving after a full days travel! The house is perfect, extremely comfortable, spacious and well equipped, perfect for relaxing and its better than the pictures! Its in a quiet neighbourhood thats real easy to get to (lovely neighbours too), about a mile from local shops and restaurants and opposite a well kept kids play park. Car essential. I would have no hesitation heartily recommending Anique and her home to families and others looking for a relaxing spot after a busy/active day or just a quiet getaway! "
1117880,10939165,2014-03-14,1633783,Damian,"Anique was the perfect host. She came right back to me after I made several enquiries about accommodation in Austin. She couldn't have been more helpful and was very proactive prior to our arrival. 

Her house is amazing. It was immaculate, very spacious and there was lots of room for us to move around. I would recommend Anique as an excellent host for anyone travelling to Austin for SXSW or otherwise. Great house, very spacious, homely and exactly what we hoped it would be."
1117880,11772741,2014-04-14,13863371,Steve,"When we first entered Anique's home I thought we might be at the wrong place because we got so much for such a reasonable price. (BTW, Anique, that doesn't mean you should raise the price.)

The neighborhood is quiet, very safe and has a terrific wooded park with an excellent playground across from Anique's house. The house is very well-maintained and designed, and is perfect for family living, with large and comfortable common areas. Anique is easily reached for solutions to questions.

I've stayed at many fairly upscale beach condos and houses all over the southern U.S., and Anique's home matches them, especially considering the price. I'll be back to Austin to visit my daughter and her family, and I hope that we can always stay at Anique's.

1117880,12323045,2014-04-28,9241534,Stephen,"It is going to be hard to top our experience staying at Anique's house. Our stay was kind of last minute, yet we were welcomed to a perfectly clean house, snack baskets, and even a toy basket for our toddler to play with. She was such an awesome host. We will definitely be staying there again in future visits!
Communication was fast and easy. The neighborhood park right around the corner was perfect for our toddler!
"
1117880,15152240,2014-07-03,2282934,Justin And Sarah,This place was a dream. We came for a company retreat and it was perfect - extremely spacious and comfortable and allowed us to be productive and relax at the same time with two separate living areas! It was only 10 minutes from downtown and has shopping and restaurants nearby! It was truly wonderful and we are so grateful to Anique for hosting us!
1117880,18061346,2014-08-21,10634473,Vaughan,"This is the 2nd time we've stayed at Aniques and it was just perfect! She is so thoughtful in all the little things that make her home a great place to be - an oasis of calm, rest and comfort. Both Anique and her home come thoroughly recommended for anyone (especially families) needing a place to relax in Austin. "
1117880,20766116,2014-10-05,20972689,Daniel,"The only downside to the property was that we could not stay longer! My clients (2 Power Rangers and the Villain from the new ""Flash"" TV show) had a wonderful time at the house. The home is spacious, has room for 4 people easily with clean bathrooms, a great kitchen, lovely patio, etc. The host is easy to get a hold of when one does something dumb like misplaces the key! Overall a 5 out of 5!! "
1117880,22287837,2014-11-03,1453542,Alan,"This was like staying in a five star hotel, only better - more like staying in a model home. The house is extremely comfortable and very nicely decorated with an excellent layout. 

The house was clean as it could be and in excellent condition. Everything worked and there were no problems whatsoever. If I ever had a question, the owner was always just a text message away. 

You can tell from the map that downtown is only a short drive away, but also every type of retail establishment that you could desire is very close by - gas, grocery, clothing, restaurants, etc. In addition, it's a very short distance to I-35. 

I would recommend this house for anyone who normally might stay in an upscale hotel but would like the comforts of home, especially if they are traveling with friends or family. "
1117880,22527164,2014-11-09,2972316,Rich,"Wonderful house, clean, roomy and comfortable. Anique is a terrific host and was in contact with me throughout. Perfect for our family football weekend. Highly recommend. "
1117880,28129328,2015-03-18,27597510,Sarah,"Anique was beyond hospitable and accommodating. I have never had a better experience with anyone. There must be something in the water in Austin because their warmth and hospitality is through the roof!

"
1117880,28714720,2015-03-29,25967470,Drew Barbier,"We had a several family members visit us in Austin for the weekend; too many to put up at our house. Anique's house was a perfect retreat for everyone in the evenings! It was very spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Anique was very responsive, and a pleasure to work with. She made sure to check in (via airbnb) to make sure we made it in the house ok. There was a welcome package waiting for us with snacks and coffee, as well as milk and a wine in the fridge :)

100% would recommend again."
1117880,30856338,2015-04-28,25717032,Ramona,"This is a lovely, spacious home with any kind of amenity you might desire. The kitchen is well stocked, and we were quite happy making some meals there. The location is in a quiet neighborhood which we found to be very convenient to both downtown Austin, as well as hill country. Our hostess was very nice and readily accessible. We were welcomed with some snacks and a bottle of wine, which was a welcome touch after a long day of travel. We didn't have any issues at all, but I feel like our hostess would have been there for us if we had. Six of us stayed there, and found it to be quite comfortable. We would stay again!"
1117880,33747903,2015-05-31,8669707,Melissa,"Beautiful home and gracious host. Top notch all the way around! Huge, open house with great floor plan. Plenty of room for the whole family! "
1117880,50666249,2015-10-13,44116428,Bradford,"This wonderful house is as advertised: spacious and comfy! Anique is very gracious and responsive. The house's location away from downtown was even less of an issue than I thought it would be. So much of what makes Austin great is south of the river anyway, and everything is very accessible by car."
1117880,52072041,2015-10-26,7304175,George,"Simply put, Anique's home saved our trip. For the first three days in Austin, we couldn't step outside with out getting drenched from all the rain. Anique's home is incredibly comfortable, cozy, and spacious. Rather than complaining about the weather, we were perfectly fine relaxing at the house. She provided everything we could have needed for cooking and cleaning. Couldn't ask for anything more. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Austin area. "
4464277,22286202,2014-11-02,21025233,Thomas,"Great location, great house and great host. Everything went by smoothly."
4464277,50442695,2015-10-12,33853646,Bryce,"Michael was a fantastic host! My friends and I came out to Austin for ACL and Michael's house turned out to be perfect for us. The house was clean, comfortable, and very well located (30 minute walk to the festival). Michael was very flexible in terms of what time we checked in and out which made things much easier on us traveling from out of state. I would highly recommend this home for anyone traveling to Austin for ACL or any other purpose. 5/5 stars. Thanks, Michael!"
4464277,52801044,2015-11-01,11348446,Michael,House was great for the price and relative vicinity to 6th street. The area felt safe and the house was tucked away from the street. House was clean and space was just right for our group
3689085,22003313,2014-10-27,9013446,Cindy,Just was awesome! and so was the space and the neighborhood! There is a cute coffee shop right around the corner. She was easy and fast to communications. The TajMaSmall is definitely on our to stay again list :)
3689085,22555021,2014-11-09,9949502,Zach,Just was great! This was a really nice place to stay. Just was a great host. Made us feel welcomed and was very helpful with everything. I would definitely stay again.
3689085,22666846,2014-11-11,4501769,Kelly & Chrissy,"The TajMaSmall is a hidden gem in Austin. The place is brand new and Just Kusko has added an artistic touch to ever detail. It's perched above a beautiful backyard, has a private entrance and is blocks away from a cute coffee shop. I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay nearby downtown in a place with incredible character. Oh and the host is awesome!"
3689085,22754660,2014-11-13,1114202,Tina,"We had such a great time at the TajMaSmall.  First off, the space is amazing- absolutely perfect for a couple.  Kusko was so great in accommodating a last minute request as well.  We will definitely recommend this airbnb to friends as well as strangers.  Everything we needed was included..mini fridge (packed with 3 local beers- yes!), microwave, local magazines and all other incidentals that you would be sure to find in a hotel.  Next time in Austin- we're booking TajMaSmall!"
3689085,22818045,2014-11-15,14518810,Kristen,Great stay! We would definitely stay there again. Just is friendly and ensured we had a pleasant stay!

3689085,22916270,2014-11-17,7009790,Airika,Just is a phenomenal hostess!! The Taj is a perfect couples getaway space. Comfortable and homie! I couldn't have asked for a better place  to stay and person to rent from. There was a wonderful welcome note and a couple beers stocked in the fridge for my fiancée and I. It was a great time and I absolutely can't wait to stay again!! 
3689085,23384293,2014-11-30,14794076,Emily,"Excellent set up: clean and convenient to north central Austin (thunderbird coffee is a quick walk just down the street). The guest home had all we could ask for and Just was very hospitable (free mints and beverages, clear instructions, help available if needed). We definitely recommend this place and would for sure go back!!"
3689085,23562385,2014-12-04,13695734,Ross,"This place is wonderful. The host, Just, is engaging, warm, and just the right blend of helpful-but-not-invasive. The apartment is well appointed, clean, and beautifully decorated. From chocolates on the pillow to a hand written note, she's thought of everything to make the stay welcoming. Best of all it's located in an incredibly convenient location in Central Austin; close to cafe's, major traffic arteries - without being too close to downtown. 

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I'm only worried everyone else will figure out how bad ass this place is and it won't be available the next time I'm in Austin. :) "
3689085,23716104,2014-12-08,15221191,Holly,"The taj am small was just as described and better. Perfect little Austin getaway. Kusko was a great host, super friendly and great recommendations for fun food and activities in the area. Can't wait to come back"
3689085,24167554,2014-12-21,11311260,Melissa,"Kusko is such a friendly host, and the TajMaSmall is a neat spot. The decor is lovely, and it really felt like I was spending the weekend at a friends house. Kusko designed the Taj, and she really took care to focus on the details. Comfy bed, fancy shower, remote control lights and fans, and hand-painted floors. Cool! It took us less than 15 minutes to get to downtown and South Congress (even in rush hour). This is the perfect little getaway spot. I recommend it and can't say enough great things about Kusko and her place!"
3689085,24204005,2014-12-22,2795888,Kate,"Privacy, convenience, simple thoughtful design. Just was easy to communicate with. Wish we could have stayed longer. "
3689085,24574341,2014-12-30,25267202,Erika,"Upon our arrival, Just was extremely welcoming! She gave us a tour of the TajMa Small and made us feel right at home. She offered to provide Austin recommendations. There were toiletries in the bathroom, fresh towels, and a few local brews. The location was great and in a very cute and quiet neighborhood. We truly enjoyed our stay! "
3689085,25243626,2015-01-10,6015463,Stephen,This is a great place and Just did a wonderful job of giving all the information in addition to being very helpful. You have real privacy in a neighborhood setting.
3689085,25318708,2015-01-12,792145,Tanzid,Great Host.  Easy to reach.  Was able to connect on the phone multiple times.  Very helpful with tips for exploration around Austin.  Just showed me bike trails around Austin and had a great set of recommendations for food and activities around Austin.
3689085,25488911,2015-01-17,20402830,Chris,This place is great.  She built a fantastic retreat for you
3689085,26083848,2015-02-02,9892475,Brooke,Just is a great host. My boyfriend and I arrived to fresh baked cupcakes and an assortments of coffees. The property is as described and uber clean. I would rent again.

There was a keurig with an assortment of brews, too! Overall, a great overnight experience. Just, the host, was very kind and helpful."
3689085,27071002,2015-02-24,27213921,Derek,Everything was perfect! Clean and warm. Kusko welcomed us as soon as we pulled up and made us feel right at home. I'd recommend and stay at the Taj again in heartbeat!

Cookies were waiting for us ]when we arrived!  Pretty garden to sit in and relax, and the host was super helpful with suggestions and information by text and e-mail.  Would stay again.  Thanks so much!"
3689085,28718287,2015-03-29,21230330,Brittany,Just was the perfect host! She was extremely flexible with our late arrival time (my boyfriend and I were roadtripping from New Orleans to Austin) and met us in the Backyard TajMaSmall to give us a tour of the super cute apartment. Just had a cupcake and a note waiting upstairs in honor of my birthday. Such a thoughtful gesture!! The apartment was just as pictured. The bed was very comfortable and there were candles to aid the ambiance of a romantic night. Just provided all the toiletries that one could need on a weekend getaway and was available on request to give extras. I'd definitely stay at the TajMaSmall again. Thanks Just! :)
3689085,28801225,2015-03-30,16879015,Juliet,GREAT place to stay!! Thank you!!
3689085,29061379,2015-04-03,27671519,Paulie,"Kusko was very welcoming when we arrived and gave us the lay of the land.  She was very knowledgable about the area and recommended several restaurants to try.  If we ever needed anything, she replied right away.  The TajMaSmall is in a great location, located between two major streets that have fantastic places to eat!  We spent a lot of time out and about in Austin and didn't spend tons of time at the Taj, but it was a good place to come back to sleep and plan our next adventure. "
3689085,29290041,2015-04-06,6554296,Kaylee,"From the moment we were greeted at arrival, I knew we were going to have a superb stay at the TajMaSmall Guest House. Kusko was kind, personable, and very accommodating. We were really impressed with the attention to detail, from the personalized note and cookie to the bathroom drawer with forgotten essentials. The guest house was in a great quiet location but still central to everywhere we wanted to go. Cleanliness is a top priority on my list and this place really impressed me. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Austin! "
3689085,29683665,2015-04-11,28188478,Jessy,This was our first AirBnB experience and it was great! Kusko was very friendly and available if needed. We only had one encounter with her and she was very friendly and made sure we knew she was available as needed. It was an $11-15 Uber ride to downtown and was in a cute little neighborhood with good eats nearby. We would stay here again. 
3689085,30291337,2015-04-20,27230564,Leigh Anne,"The TajMaSmall was just perfect for our weekend in Austin. It's a new, nice, really well-kept place with a simple, tasteful aesthetic. Our host was out of town but reached out via email several times over the course of our stay so that we felt completely welcome and like she was totally accessible. We really appreciated the coffee, hair dryer and extra bathroom toiletries. The bed was extremely comfortable and the space cool and quiet. We were away from our kid on this trip and took awesome naps on both days! We would highly recommend the TajMaSmall to anyone visiting Austin. "
3689085,31943005,2015-05-12,6623676,Isabel,"we were enamoured with the taj from the moment we saw it and moreso once we arrived. check in was super quick, which we appreciated because we were exhausted from a long race! the suite looked exactly as pictured. Awesome  neighborhood. Kusko was very receptive and quick to respond to our inquiries. She's attentive to details too- the decor, the extra toiletries, and those luscious  cookies on arrival... mine was gone in seconds. look forward to staying here again whenever im in Austin! "

The bed was comfortable and there was ample dresser and closet space for two people; the bathroom was lovely and thoughtfully stocked with small toiletries; and the living area was uncluttered and welcoming. 

It was easy to communicate with Just before, during, and after our stay. After we arrived, Just gave us lots of space but seemed always available. Finally, checking in and out was straightforward and simple. "

It was the treehouse my daughter never had. The location was very convenient and extremely quiet. Just went above and beyond to be a great host. We will definitely stay again! Thank you!!! Duana and Caroline"
3689085,35626033,2015-06-20,17051807,Brandon,Excellent! Needed a place to rest my head. Awesome little place. Very clean. As described. Very relaxing and quiet. Great neighborhood.

3689085,40130442,2015-07-28,20523324,Angela,"TajMaSmall was exactly how it was represented in the listing and it was perfect!  Kusko made my boyfriend and I feel extremely welcome by personalizing our stay with signs addressed specifically for us in such a warm & inviting manner.  Everything was extremely neat and in order and we had no issues at all with the location or finding it, with the help of Kusko and her directions.  She was also very helpful in providing some choices for brunch when we left the next day.  The neighborhood was quite quaint and lovely.  I would definitely stay at TajMaSmall again when I visit Austin in the future!"
3689085,41101079,2015-08-04,36524465,Sara,"What a great place to stay!! It was very peaceful and had little extras like games, movies and books to enjoy! Our host was great, making sure we had everything we needed! Would highly recommend this place!!"

3689085,41845018,2015-08-09,7847714,New,"The neighborhood is a bit off the beaten path--that's the typical UT, Grand Prix, SXSW path. But that's a good thing! We were in Austin moving our daughter to school, and getting away from SoCo and the city/University center was wonderful and quiet. The Tajmasmall is so cute, we had a welcome sign, nice lighting in the backyard. I wish we had stayed longer to hang out in the backyard. There is a fire pit and chairs that looked nice, but no time."
3689085,42037435,2015-08-10,39731116,Jennifer,"This was my boyfriend and I's first time using Airbnb and it was a terrific experience! We absolutely loved the TajMaSmall and it was exactly how listed online (very neat and tidy). There was plenty of space for the two of us to relax and very easy to find. The neighborhood was peaceful and really close to Thunderbird Coffee, which we enjoyed as well! Kusko was very welcoming and thoughtful in leaving welcome notes and toiletries for our use. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin! Thank you for accepting two Aggies to stay in this very unique and cozy ""Austin"" living space! ;)  "
3689085,42236877,2015-08-11,2156300,Sacha,"Tiny house, big accommodations! If a great host, attention to detail and a comfy apartment is what you are searching for than look no further. The Tajmasmall is a great little hidden jewel in Austin. We had an excellent stay and only wish that we could have stayed a little longer."
3689085,43252150,2015-08-18,18096589,Ana,"My husband and I couldn't have chosen a more perfect place to stay in Austin than the Taj. Not only was the Taj beautifully designed, it was impeccably clean and stocked full of toiletries, games and movies. Our host was so lovely and provided a list of great restaurants that were near by. We rented a car, and never had to worry about parking since the driveway was always available to us. It was only about 10 min to 6th street and was such a peaceful relaxing setting. We would definitely stay again. "
3689085,44700848,2015-08-28,41417174,John,We really enjoyed our stay at TajMaSmall. For us it was a local vacation for our anniversary and our host's were wonderful! It was our first experience with AirBnb and we loved it.
3689085,45133057,2015-08-31,713626,Blake,"This place is delightful! Just prepared it wonderfully and we had all the privacy we could want. Lots of nice little touches, too, from the humorous personalized welcome sign to the little local neighborhood one-pager to the attention to our presence (she switched off the sprinklers so we wouldn't get wet in the backyard!). Would absolutely stay here again."
3689085,45808433,2015-09-06,12923793,Don,Awesome experience. Good communication and check in process. Good parking. Very awesome space and clean private restroom. Highly recommend this host. 
3689085,46132790,2015-09-08,3359602,Nicole,"We loved our stay in this great, quiet neighborhood in Austin.  The space was ready for us at check in, and Just was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.  The space is very clean and well designed, and we enjoyed spending time here.  Great location near many local restaurants and coffee shops, and centrally located so easy to get around. "
3689085,46488087,2015-09-11,22809171,Jason,Just had an amazing space and she was super friendly!! She made it super easy to check in and out and if you need anything she is extremely helpful.
3689085,46722631,2015-09-13,15808021,Maegan,We arrived to the place which was identical to its description in the posting and we loved it. The details put into the room were so thoughtful and it was very clean. We only stayed here one night and I wish we could have stayed longer. Very easy to walk to local stores and coffee and downtown was a short Lyft ride away. She was accommodating when we thought we would need early check in as well. Highly recommend and would love to stay again when I am back in Austin! 
3689085,47972684,2015-09-22,11077881,Austin,Just's place is great! It's located in a quiet and cute neighborhood. Everything is as advertised and super well kept. Thanks for letting us stay! 
3689085,49600895,2015-10-05,4740419,Kyle & Danielle,"TajMaSmall should really be called TajMaWOW!  We loved everything about this home from the cute personalized welcome sign to the chocolates on the pillows.  Check in was a breeze, the place is well appointed and in a great neighborhood and close to downtown.  Will definitely be back again!"
3689085,50583589,2015-10-12,45777867,Scott,Loved our stay here! We didn't want to leave. Highly recommend this property and will definitely be coming back.
3689085,51268899,2015-10-19,21100391,Tracy,"I used this lovely quaint space for my wedding weekend space in Austin. I actually live in Austin, but wanted a place closer and cuter to the venue than our apartment. Me and my sister and mom got ready here and then my new HUSBAND and spent our wedding night here. It was the perfect little spot to come back to and call home base. Just was amazing and accommodating and simple there for us. Great experience all around! "
3689085,51606745,2015-10-22,2872480,Cassandra,"I felt like I stayed in a pristine and beautiful real life version of something I would see out of a Home and Garden magazine! Upscale hotel feel with a host that will bend over backwards to ensure you've got everything you need! Very quiet, peaceful and easy. Loved the neighborhood and Just! "
3689085,52037582,2015-10-26,5692141,Tom,"What a cute, cozy place from where to enjoy all Austin has to offer.   Perfect location with clean, modern amenities.   Great coffee shop and bar nearby and good access to freeways.  Just was a great host.   Wish the weather had cooperated.  "
3689085,52560703,2015-10-30,47550888,Andrew,"The home was great! Very clean and thr host was really personable and knowledgeable. She had a fun little guide for all the eateries in the area and was always available. There are movies, games, anything you need inside! Super quaint for a one night getaway."
3689085,52961698,2015-11-03,38121134,Renessa,"The TajMaSmall was the PERFECT place for my getaway, and Kusko was an ACE host! From my arrival to my departure, I felt welcomed and comfortable, and so lucky to have found this awesome place!

I loved the residential neighborhood because it made for a quiet vacation when I wasn't out in the nearby downtown area. I was especially grateful for the TajMaSmall because Austin got hit with torrential rain and flash flood warnings one of the days I was in town, but the Brentwood neighborhood was safe and the suite was stocked with DVDs (I must have watched 10 episodes each of Will & Grace and Entourage that day), reading materials and board games. Plus the suite was just so nice and clean and comfy (and fantastically designed), I was happy to be rained in there! And Kusko was so gracious to check on me during the crazy storm = ) I was also able to walk to the local H.E.B. supermarket to stock up on some sustenance before the rain, so the mini-refridergator and coffee maker was perfect.  

To top my experience off, the local Thunderbird Cafe was 2 blocks away (a recommended spot on the handy, custom-made map the host provided!), and was my go-to spot  for coffee, delicious sandwiches, beer, and a very cool interior & staff.

I had a friend come stay on the futon for a couple of nights and she also fell in love with the place right away. Both of us look forward to returning sometime in the future!

I can't say enough great things about the TajMaSmall suite, the neighborhood and proximity to downtown, and the gracious host Kusko! Highly recommend and wish I had a TajMaSmall in my own backyard in Boston!

5010742,28018514,2015-03-16,27816421,Madaleine,"Great space to stay! Very spacious, it's in a neat neighborhood, very quiet and secure. Fit our group of 8 comfortably. Anything that you would need they have! Extra sheets, cookware, extra towels... We had an amazing time! I would definitely recommend this place for a large group of people. Thank you again for letting us stay in your home :) "
5010742,29805290,2015-04-12,9057221,George,Perfect house. Perfect neighborhood. Alejandra was so awesome and responded quickly to any questions.  Very clean house with tons of room. 
5549968,32636253,2015-05-19,9545290,Jay,"It was their first time hosting, but felt like they were pros at it! Instructions were very clear and simple to follow. Checking-in and checking-out was easy and didn't have any trouble during my stay. 

Lovely neighborhood that is close to both the airport and downtown area of Austin, so I would highly recommend anyone to stay at their place!

And yes, the spot IS as awesome as it looks in the photos :)"
5549968,33611572,2015-05-30,11613746,Jay,"Amanda and Whitney were fantastic hosts and the Duplex lived up to the ad.  Our sons especially liked the many gaming options (video and board) and we appreciated having something to occupy them during our few down times we had. Very easy drive to to the Duplex from the airport and 10 minutes to Downtown, S. Lamer and S. Congress.

A&W were very easy to communicate with and checked in with often to make sure we had everything we needed.

All in all our family had a great stay and would recommend this place to anyone."
631071,3772062,2013-03-13,4734200,Lars,"Great place, great location and great hostess!

Since we made the booking for SXSW very late, every hotel was fully booked. However, one in the gang who also was flying over, told me about Airbnb.

So, we logged in start searching for a place suitable for 4 people with two bathrooms. We found this. 

Obviously not walking distance to the city (even if we actually walked one night) but with a rental car it was perfect.
Every morning on our way in to the city we looked for a good breakfast place and found a few. Our favourite pick was Magnolia on 1920 S. Congress Ave which we visited a few times.

I hope we can come back next year and if so, I will most definitely look for this place again."
631071,10902426,2014-03-12,4734200,Lars,"Once again we had the privilege to go to SXSW and to stay in Sarah Tower's house in the beautiful Zilker area.
Sarah is a great host - easy to contact and she gives you feedback very quickly.

We were 5 people who stayed here for 5 nights and everything in the house was in perfect order and they stay was as great as last year. (There were even food and drinks in the fridge for us(!))

If we get back next year, I will definitely try to rent Sarah's place again."
631071,28075522,2015-03-17,4785883,Hanna,"Living in Sarah's and her family's house is just great. My colleagues and I have been coming to SXSW for three years now, staying with Sarah everytime and it couldn't be a better place. Great house, perfect location, friendly host - highly recommended."
5420782,27977196,2015-03-15,1217905,Christi,"Wow!! This was a truly unique Austin experience and we loved it. This beautiful double lot in the Bouldin neighborhood was terrific. John and Faith are both very friendly and artistic and just good all-around people, and it is reflected throughout the grounds and property. There are huge oak trees and lots of cool art projects here and there, including a five foot tall hen in the front yard that Faith (a well-known artist in Austin in many mediums, in particular large art installations) crafted years ago. There is also a pinball machine that my grown-up ""kid"" loved to play. Highly recommend!! Thanks John and Faith.     "
5420782,28267331,2015-03-21,9863655,Justin,"John was a great host. Prior to our arrival, he made sure to check with us about our sleeping arrangements. During our stay he was always willing to help us whether it was lending bikes, telling us about great places to eat (Torchy's Tacos is around the corner from the house!), or even offering to give us rain gear for the last two rainy days.
The room was great and spacious even for 4 people, and we loved having the Simpsons Pinball machine to play with. There was also a computer which helped us look up places for SXSW and a TV to catch some of the March Madness games. It was clean and very well maintained. "
5420782,49432270,2015-10-04,37829462,Tyler,Great place in a beautiful neighborhood just a little over 1 mile from Zilker Park. 
5420782,50287250,2015-10-11,1015767,Alexander,The Airbnb was wonderful. It was perfect for ACL but also anyone going to Austin that wanted to be a few blocks away from south congress street. Their home was eclectic and musically oriented. I hope to stay here again and play some more Simpsons pinball. Haha. They were wonderful hosts. Space was clean and perfect for a weekend get away. 
7093256,37416731,2015-07-06,36969848,Kasey,"I couldn't ask for a better first air bnb experience. Both Chalu and her boyfriend were extremely accommodating and helpful. My boyfriend and I loved this apartment- it was right on Lady Bird Lake, and everything we wanted to do was accessible by bike, which was exactly what we were looking for! We felt at home here and I'd absolutely recommend it. "
7093256,39867412,2015-07-26,39017293,Darren,"I was a bit nervous considering it was my first airbnb experience, but I couldn't have asked for a better first time. The home was EXACTLY as described with excellent proximity to downtown and LITERALLY on the town lake trail. I felt exceptionally welcomed by our host and would undoubtedly return here next time I'm in Austin. "
7093256,44007064,2015-08-23,1309964,Art,"We had a tremendous Austin experience with Chalu's place. It was very clean and the location can't be beat. Mornings we were able to walk along the lake and into downtown in no time. It is also a five minute walk to the Congress Bridge! We experienced the nightlife and were able to get cheap cab or Uber rides back to the apartment with no issue. 

Chalu also was able to accommodate our late arrival with NO issue. We would stay here again in an instant! I miss Austin already! "
7093256,44597910,2015-08-27,952564,Brett,"Fantastic location, directly on the lake as advertised. Easy check in and out. Comfortable location for 3 people (we used 1 bed and 1 couch)."
7093256,46140979,2015-09-08,19225233,Clarence,Good spot to explore city. 20 minute walk to almost anywhere. Apartment was in good condition. 
7093256,48004885,2015-09-22,41954106,Betsy,"Chalu provided us with such an amazing experience for our first Austin trip. The apartment was clean and cozy and she was always accessible to answer questions before and during our stay. Also, you couldn't have asked for a better location, it was close to the waking trails, Lady Bird Lake, Rainey Street, and the downtown area. We know where we'll be staying again for our next Austin Trip!"
7093256,51292291,2015-10-19,39926591,Kevin,Chalu made us feel very welcome. The place was clean and welcoming and she gave us great recommendations around town. I would highly recommend staying here if you want to check out Austin. 
7093256,51764854,2015-10-24,45271844,Nick,"Chalu provided my wife and I with a clean, comfortable stay that exactly matched the description. She was extremely professional and walked me through my first Airbnb experience without any problems. When rain spoiled many of our outdoor plans, the amenities she provided in her unit made our stay far more enjoyable than a cramped hotel room.

I plan to stay with Chalu on our next trip to Austin."
7093256,52500760,2015-10-30,44922687,Joseph,Great location.

2650844,11780761,2014-04-14,13891406,Todd,House was better than expected.  Instructions to enter were easy and he even left fresh fruit for us!  Would stay here again!  
2650844,12347993,2014-04-29,2355538,Andrew,"A fantastic house and a fantastic host! We had a group of 9 guys stay here for my bachelor party weekend and we couldn't have picked a better spot. Nate was also a great host who was extremely responsive and friendly whenever we had questions. 5 stars, and I would be happy to stay here again in the future."
2650844,12956607,2014-05-15,14839794,Kim,"This rental EXCEEDED my expectations in every way! I had to rent this for a business trip with 10 people and was pressed for time while I was there. Nathan the owner pre-shopped for me and had the house stocked with food and everything I needed. Plus he had extras like toiletry's and fruit on the counter. The house was spotless and it was so beautifully decorated. The views from the deck were amazing and we even had deer up in the yard to look at. Nathan was so easy to work with. Loved this place.  Two of the decks had a view of the river and one had a view of the dam. ( it was really neat). We used the grill and sat out at night on the patio set. There was nothing I can say accept I was so pleased and would rent this house again. So much space, quite end of the road location and above and beyond in service. Thank you again Nathan!"
2650844,13418473,2014-05-27,14088717,Karen,Nathan was absolutely great to work with! He asked for any special request to accommodate our stay.  The house definitely exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and spacious. The views from the balconies are beautiful. I would definitely book with him again.
2650844,14058768,2014-06-10,14415439,Francesca,"Nathan's house is an absolute dream. It was clean, tidy, spacious and simply perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Nathan had left a ton of supplies, so we didn't have to rush to the market as soon as we arrived. The house is perfect for a family, there's a ton of room so you never feel like you're on top of one another. 

The back yard and decks are amazing. I personally spent the majority of my weekend swaying in the hammock on the front deck. 

The area is about 45mins from the airport and 30mins from downtown. The neighborhood is quiet and fairly remote (extremely peaceful). We weren't able to find access to the lake, but visited the neighborhood pool twice - which was awesome. "
2650844,14301222,2014-06-16,15967975,Amanda,We absolutely loved staying here! The house is stunning and the views are amazing. The master suite is unbelievable and the balconies were a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the breeze and our morning coffee. The location is quiet and peaceful. Nathan is very easy to work with and he always responded to my questions quickly. He makes his guests feel welcome by providing extra amenities that we didn't even expect. What a nice surprise! We will definitely stay here again in the future. It is the perfect place for a vacation. 
2650844,14611482,2014-06-23,770955,Dimitri,"The house is huge and has all the furniture and decorations you need to stay at home. It's a fair distance from the city, but makes for a nice and quiet place to stay, super close to the lake with an easy 5 min drive to a place where you can rent boats, jetskis, etc. Highly recommended! "
2650844,15815481,2014-07-16,13045616,Nilda,"This was a great place to vacation and Nathan was very nice and accommodating to our needs. The property was just as beautiful as the pictures itself, and perhaps more in person. The house was more than enough space for the 7 of us, and Nathan was kind enough to allow us to throw a baby shower for my twin sister in the home. It was a great experience overall! Very kid friendly and the backyard was a great place for our kids to play. We'd definitely recommend this place to everyone interested in staying in Austin, and we hope to come back in the future!"
2650844,16462477,2014-07-28,2257842,Jordan,"Nathan always responded very quickly to any inquiries. I planned a bachelorette getaway for the weekend and this was the ideal spot. I was able to rent a boat through Nathan's provided guidebook at Just For Fun. The house has amazing views and is the perfect place to unwind in the hill country. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful house, thanks!"
2650844,17828602,2014-08-18,16255836,Adam,"Secluded area but close enough to town. Forgot at times I wasn't at a hotel. 
"
2650844,20487331,2014-09-30,375683,Luisa,"The house was just lovely. It was the perfect size for us. The bride, bridesmaids as well as mom and dad were all there and we had a great time.
The home was clean and orderly we did a lot of cooking so having all those spices available to us was wonderful. What  I loved the most was the balcony and views. I would go out there every morning and do yoga, meditate and then have a cup of coffee while enjoying the gorgeous vistas. 
Thank you for making your home available to us."
2650844,20891970,2014-10-07,14649290,Ty,"Nathan's home was beautiful and the neighborhood was so serene & relaxing!  Exactly what we needed to come home to after crazy busy days in Austin!  Was great to have a safe place to hang out with our kids(1&4)!  My oldest, my son, loved ""his room"" on the 3rd floor where he could play with tons of toys & have his own place to get away from his sister!  The stairwell going to the 3rd floor was a little difficult to manage with our younger one, but I managed to block it off with laying the gate flat!  The kids had a ball in the back yard & exploring all around!  The beds were comfortable which is huge for us!  All our food needs were met, just grabbed few things at the Randall's down the road.  So many great restaurants close by too which was wonderful!  Thanks so much for you're hospitality!  "
2650844,22881033,2014-11-17,1912501,Lesley,"I got married at the nearby Lakeway a Resort and Spa but put my close family at Nathan's so that they could spend more quality time together over the weekend. A really great value for such a beautiful and spacious house. He couldn't have been nicer or more thoughtful. Nathan truly thought of everything - towels, coffee, tea, contact lense stuff, extra new toothbrushes! He even offered us a baby gate. I would book again."
2650844,23429643,2014-12-01,21486491,Melissa,"This was an amazing home and even better than in the pictures. With the breathtaking views and the spacious living areas it was perfect for our family Thanksgiving. Luckily for us the weather was perfect and we got to spend plenty of time outside on the balcony relaxing and enjoying each others company. It was a wonderful set up for if you have little ones, we had a 6, 5, and 2 1/2 year old there and they really had a great time! The nice thing is there is a park down the street from the house for the kids and we walked down there. I really can't say enough great things about this house it was just so perfect! Nathan is a wonderful host for airbnb and was so sweet and helpful. I would recommend this for any occasion! "
2650844,26700087,2015-02-17,26206482,Premswarup,"The house is a perfect setting for a vacation in the Texas hill country. The panoramic view from the house is just indescribable. Nathan was very prompt in responding.  I liked the excellent details. It easily accommodated our large group, but we needed another bathroom for convenience. The place was immaculately clean. Lot of breakfast stuff to choose from. We liked the character of the house , which Nathan seemed to have put his heart in, while building. We found dog hair on one blanket but otherwise the place was just perfect. All of us just loved the gorgeous place. Loved listening to the birds early in the morning. Excellent value for the money. Thank you, Nathan."
2650844,27065628,2015-02-24,25663300,Ryan,"In town for a family wedding and this place was awesome!! Exactly what we needed to host a random number of people coming from across the country.  Out of the way, quiet, comfortable and an ideal setting for a small family BBQ the day after.  Far more intimate than a hotel can ever be...incredible value and great time!!  Nathan is a great and gracious host, thanks for making our Austin vacation wonderful!!"
2650844,27988557,2015-03-16,7366256,Maggie,"This full service house was awesome for our family weekend in Austin.  My daughters loved all the toys, and having a stocked kitchen and extra toiletries available made it so convenient. It's a little off the main road but the views and accommodations made it well worth the drive. "
2650844,28391374,2015-03-23,26976037,Sean,We had an amazing time at this 3 story House.  We couldn't have asked for better accommodations for our trip to Austin for SXSW. The house was everything it was advertised to be and more. We felt welcome  from the moment we walked through the door.  If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Austin area I HIGHLY recommend this house. 
2650844,29415961,2015-04-07,18872299,Robin,This was a fantastic vacation house in Austin.  Nathan was very accommodating.  Every convenience was at your fingertips.  The views were lovely and our family had a fantastic Easter .  I would not hesitate to stay there again.  The deer and squirrels that visited us were a pleasant surprise.  
2650844,29816694,2015-04-13,26052217,Tina,"Our group of woman from Beta Sigma Phi went for 4 days to Austin for a Hill Country Trip - there were 10 of us.  
  Nathan was absolutely wonderful to work with.  Would always answer back right away to any questions we had.
  One of the girls was having a birthday while there and we asked him to pick up a cake and flowers for us that had been pre-ordered and it was all sitting there when we walked in.  
  There are plenty of towels and he even leaves little necessity items in case you forgot something.  All the cooking supplies that you would need, including spices.
  The home is so cute and clean!  Close to downtown Austin.  We ate one night at the Oasis and another night at The County Line - no wait lines and each were only about 8 miles away - great food and great atmosphere.  
  We had easy trips from this location to Wimberley and then to Fredericksburg.  The wildflowers were beautiful!  Make sure you stop at the Wildseed Farms - it was great.  
  Plenty of sleeping areas for all 10 of us.  The top floor does not have a bathroom though, so just make sure you put people up there that can make it down the steps with no problem in the middle of the night... when the need arises:)  

Thanks Nathan!"
2650844,31292378,2015-05-04,9771438,Joshua,We rented from Nathan during our wedding weekend in the hill country. His home was such a perfect haven to come back to after our busy activities. The house itself is so much more than the pictures and descriptions! It was perfect place to relax and enjoy the company of our friends during our special trip!
2650844,33238612,2015-05-26,1268987,Nina,"Terrific host - couldn't have asked for a host any more polite, responsive, and accommodating!

The house was clean, beautiful, spacious, and had a great view.
EASILY sleeps 12.
Living area was spacious and comfortable. 

Nathan thinks of everything.  Plenty of linens/towels, cooking supplies, utensils, non-perishable food items.

His instructions are clear and easy to follow.

Anyone who stays here is getting a terrific bargain.

40 minutes from the airport, 30 minutes from downtown Austin, 10 minutes from Lake Travis.

We came here for a bachelor party and left with a memorable weekend, much of which had to do with the location and comfort of this beautiful house.

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
2650844,34406738,2015-06-08,28655538,Moreed,"Nathan's a terrific and generous host, and his home is very nice and spacious with all the amenities you'd possibly want! As far as places nearby, it's a 10min drive from Lake Travis (I recommend renting a boat for 4-5hr), 30min from Pace Bend for hiking / cliff jumping, 40min from Austin Paintball (and a scenic drive over), and a 30min from Downtown Austin. Thanks again for letting us stay in your home Nathan..... we had a great time!"
2650844,36515055,2015-06-29,12302112,Micaela,"We had an amazing stay! Everything we needed was available. We very much appreciated all the detailed instructions for a/c and tv, ect. Also the maps and list of restaurants in the area were helpful. The only issue we had was using the grill on the balcony. We weren't sure if the starter is broken or if we just didn't know what we were doing. But we were able to use the one downstairs in the backyard so it all worked out. "
2650844,38269440,2015-07-14,32606016,Jennifer,"We really enjoyed our stay here.  The house is beautiful, as is the view of the hill country.  Twice we saw deer right outside the house.  There was a helpful binder with suggestions for things to do.  This house is awesome for those with young kids.  Lots of toys on the 3rd floor.  The owner was very quick getting back to me when I had questions. "
2650844,39900207,2015-07-27,15263677,Ali,"This house was so incredible! We had a group of 12 girls stay here for a bachelorette party. From the moment we arrived we felt so comfortable and at home. Plenty of room to spread out, a wonderfully well-stocked kitchen, and balcony views to die for. Nathan was great to work with - he responded to any questions or concerns we had very quickly. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone! "
2650844,40917115,2015-08-03,2414941,Cara,Nathan answered my questions instantly and set us up to have a wonderful weekend!
2650844,43208696,2015-08-18,11869711,Jennifer,"We booked Nathan's rental because we were getting married in Austin and wanted a home for the entire wedding party to stay and be able to host our rehearsal dinner and a get-together on Sunday. Additionally, it was a must that our two dogs accompany us. Nathan kept great communication before our visit (we booked his rental a year in advance). In addition, he had a binder available when you walked into his home that could answer any questions you could have during your stay along with passes to the community pool, etc. The house was just as gorgeous as the photos and the space easily accommodated us (10 people, 2 dogs) and guests we had for the rehearsal dinner and Sunday get-together. Everything was clean and neat for our visit and we definitely recommend him and his home! Thank you so much!"
2650844,44128652,2015-08-24,34761686,Keith,Had a great time! Nathan was very polite and easy to work with. Thank you for all of your hospitality! 
2650844,50530449,2015-10-12,44887027,Chase,"Nice, big house as described. Had a great 3 day weekend. Beautiful surroundings 10 min away from Lake Travis."
2650844,52220966,2015-10-27,12775798,Christen,"I rented Nathan's house for my bachelorette weekend in Austin. I happened to be a very rainy weekend but Nathan's house was the perfect place to be rained in out in the Hill Country. There were more than enough places for my nine brides maids to sleep comfortably. Nathan provided more food staples and toiletries than I have ever experienced in an Airbnb stay. We made a quick trip the grocery and liquor store and spend most of the weekend at the house--happily. Easy access, parking for 4-5 cars, great living room, TV, places to hook up iPod/phone for music, amazing balconies (that we wish we could have spent more time on), and amazing kitchen. This house was well thought out and just impressive in every way. Definitely one of my favorite stays through airbnb--highly recommend! Nathan is a super host!"
2650844,52915816,2015-11-02,47255635,Luis,This house is great for having a group of 6 adults as we did. The house was clean and well furnished. It's secluded within the neighborhood but the atmosphere and location is fantastic for an Austin visit. Nathan had some starter foods for us and the kitchen provided all we needed to entertain and prepare meals. The balconies are awesome for hanging out and grill. Overall we were very pleased with the three day stay. 
3696506,28163274,2015-03-19,3819008,Adrian,"Nathan was awesome. Really accommodating and responsive. We arrived, got the keys, and found fresh fruit and champagne! Couldn't have asked for a better place during SXSW. We were close enough to all the business, and even closer to cool neighborhood hangouts like Gourmands. Really enjoyed our time there. "
78640,1023430,2012-03-20,1554717,Johnny,"John was a fantastic host and his property was perfectly located for us while my band was playing SXSW. His home is welcoming and was about as comfortable as you could get, we were even lucky enough to get breakfast Tacos in the morning on a couple of occasions. 
John is friendly, funny and helpful, and is great to hang out with. 
I highly recommend this Air B'n'B for anyone hitting up Austin who's after a home away from home.

"
78640,3846316,2013-03-20,306455,Nathalie,"To say that we are ""positively reviewing"" this listing is a HUGE understatement. John Cuddeback, his friends, beautiful home, garden, Namaste tent, hammock, camper, kitchen, cooking & hospitality are the best we have ever experienced in our worldwide travels as a band! Waking up to coffee, fresh scones, pancakes, music and positive energy was the most energising way to start our days at SXSW. John & his partner were involved with us as a band from the very start and were so kind to scoot us around until we rented our own car, give suggestions, and hook us up with instruments and backline that we couldn't bring from Turkey. They partied with us, chilled with us and yet some times we didn't even know they were around in the house. The beds were more than comfortable, the rooms spacious and the neighbourhood incredible. Don't look anywhere else - this is THEE BEST place to stay in Austin, hands down. But we've already booked them for next year so don't even try!

Thank you John & Seasha for the most ridiculously cool week of our festival lives. We miss the turkey chilli and ""special"" blood orange slushies already. You made us feel so at home and comfortable - letting us be the crazies that we are!

We love you guys! ROCK N ROLL!!!

78640,5629383,2013-07-08,7265738,Gabi,"Well first I would like to say john thank you for being my first....airbnb haha coming back to Austin for the second time was everything I hoped it would be it was my first road trip by my myself  so I was super excited . John was a great host his place was amazing he is just such an interesting person from the artwork to his oak tree in front the house. His place was clean,comfy artsy and just a great home away from home. He was so helpful he put my bumper back on my car isn't that nice ? :) he had these two dogs that were just so sweet. The next time I come back to Austin I couldn't think of anywhere else I would rather stay. "
78640,10905311,2014-03-12,6786304,Kristian,"Stayed Johns during SXSW. He was a very good host, even picked me up at the airport and gave me a few cheap lifts downtown during my stay. The room was perfect, and I had plenty of privacy. I'm glad I stayed at Johns. "
78640,12696663,2014-05-08,9641995,Takahiro,"My bf and I had stayed at John's place for 2 weeks. The house was renovated by himself and it was so cozy and cleaned. John is very creative, accommodating and upbeat person. The 2 dogs in his house are very cute and polite. There are few restaurants and markets in walking distance, but you should have car to enjoy more in Austin. The house has easy access to downtown area and to the airport as well. The main brunch of whole foods in Austin downtown area is amazing. 
Thank you for everything and hope to see you someday John! "
78640,13162250,2014-05-20,14519202,Ritika,"This was my first experience with airbnb, and I was lucky to be John as my first host. He is very friendly, helping and available.  Room was very neat and clean and well decorated. I felt very homely. He has two dogs but they never bother us. They were very friendly too. I really enjoyed my stay. I would surely love to stay there again. "
78640,21265208,2014-10-13,6096190,Tom,"Great place, we would definitely stay there again. John is very personable, thoughtful and made our stay very comfortable. We had access to all we needed. Coming and going was very easy with full access to the house. 
Everything was as advertised and we found the area excellent, quiet, very easy to get there and close to many things. Excellent location. 5 stars"
78640,51759938,2015-10-24,45106610,Robert,Everything was phenomenal! I came in on a late flight and he was still there ready to greet me plus he was even willing to strike up a small conversation. He even let me use one of his water bottles seeing as I forgot to bring one and baked scones that I was allowed to indulge in. The room was exactly what was described in the description and he even lets his guests hang out in the rest of the house. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area!
7909952,46546860,2015-09-11,8802704,Blake,"Our stay at the Clarsksville guest house was ideal. Charlotte and Tom were perfect hosts and made us feel at home. This place is centrally located in the best neighborhood, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. Less than a 5 minute walk to a great grocery store and all types of restaurants. It only takes 20 minutes to walk to Whole Foods, (start of downtown). We walked to Zilker Park and the hike and bike trail around Lake Austin - easy access via the Johnson Creek trail. This really is a house on its own. Quiet, private, yet in the heart of the city. And there is parking and easy access to the freeway and main streets of Austin. The fenced patio is huge (practically doubles the space) and surrounded by beautiful oak trees, it is a wonderful place to enjoy the pleasant Austin evenings.  We've been to Austin several times and this has by far been our favorite place to stay. "
7909952,48836094,2015-09-28,3916181,Sarah,"The guest house was super cute, and Charlotte and her husband were very hospitable. This house is in a great location...walking distance to Fresh Plus, and close to downtown, etc. The private outdoor area is also a plus. My friends and I had a great stay!"
7909952,49836697,2015-10-06,1295392,Matt,"Amazing, amazing, amazing! Secluded back house in a gorgeous neighborhood, well furnished and tasteful with all the right amenities sprinkled in. Charlotte was a fantastic communicator from the very beginning and made us feel very welcomed. Also, the location could not be better. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy retreat to Austin. "
7909952,51099313,2015-10-17,3911928,Ben,"We loved staying at the guesthouse in Clarksville.  It is in a wonderful neighbourhood: green, leafy, relaxed, quiet, safe and a short walk to the river, Zilker Park, downtown area, and very near to fabulous local restaurants.  
The guest house itself is clean, bright, and well conditioned. The bedroom and bathrooms are nicely renovated and thoughtfully decorated with framed prints by local artists.
It was particularly nice to have our own entrance gate, parking area and private front yard, so that we weren't disturbing anyone.
It was a sheer pleasure to stay, Charlotte is an exceptional host, thoughtful, organised, considerate and lovely. Everything went very smoothly.  Basically, we can't recommend it any more highly.

Can't wait to head back to Austin and stay at Charlotte's guest house again, it can't come soon enough!"
7909952,51468239,2015-10-20,17834390,Becky,"I enjoyed my stay at Charlotte's Airbnb guesthouse greatly! 

The neighborhood was cute and quiet. The house fit the three of us comfortably (and was well decorated to boot!) with a nice patio out front, too.  
We were able to come and go to various attractions pretty easily (average uber ride to / from the house was about $9 and average ride was about 5-15 minutes). While the house isn't in the most central location, it was more affordable than the airbnb options we looked at right downtown and with the added cost of ubers to get to / from places, we still made out really well. 

In terms of small details, Charlotte thought of them all. She left us a welcome note and some drinks and candies when we arrived. She left plenty of towels and linens (including spare towels and comforters) and had kitchen and bathroom essentials (coffee, creamer, toilet paper, toothpaste) for us. 

The space was also very well decorated and we had fun looking around at the books and artwork. 

I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It was easy enough to get to everywhere we wanted to go and Charlotte was very communicative and made it easy for us. Thank you!

2384673,28289361,2015-03-21,12551669,Anthony,A very good atmosphere with a private room outside of town. They were very accommodating and helpful for my stay. Highly recommended.
5346714,28088684,2015-03-17,28069524,Stacy,"Jill made us feel super welcome.  The house was perfect!  Very comfortable, nicely appointed and super clean and tidy.  The neighborhood was great and we loved walking to restaurants and especially the coffee shop right down the road.  I would definitely recommend this home and host!  "
5346714,28368758,2015-03-22,29594266,Antonio,Awesome host. Beautiful house. The pictures describe the house exactly! Wonderful experience in ATX. Thank you Jill! 
5346714,28759463,2015-03-29,26554030,James,"My family and I rented a house in Austin through Jill.  Jill was very accommodating, timely in her responses and made our stay enjoyable.  The description of the house was exactly what we expected.  I would recommend renting through Jill.      "
5346714,30713697,2015-04-26,30812589,Alaina,This was the first time we've ever used AIRBNB and it definitely exceeded our expectations! Jill was amazing and and very informative! The house was beautiful and in the perfect location for our travels! Definitely will use AIRBNB again!! Thank you Jill for helping my husband and I have such a great anniversary! 
5346714,34194566,2015-06-06,28589440,Jim,"This was my first airbnb experience and I would say it was near perfect.

All the information we were provided was accurate and the home was even more attractive than the pictures.  A really beautiful place in a very convenient location.

We were welcomed with a nice note, some healthy snacks, and a VERY nice bottle of wine - exactly what the Dr. ordered after a very long travel day."
5346714,45938193,2015-09-07,18022759,Jessica & Jeff,"Fantastic indeed. The location and open spaces were perfect for the weekend. Beautiful house, clean and tidy. The master suite was especially impressive. Ample backyard, and porch is larger than photo shows at this time. The amenities were everything one could ask for. Thanks Jill. We all had a great time. Walking distance to restaurants and bars was a big plus. Highly recommend."
5346714,48936218,2015-09-29,43980541,Scott,Our host made us feel very welcome and she was very helpful and had great availability and communication. The location was awesomely close to everything Austin and we enjoyed the home. Had trouble with the coffee maker and the tv as it is hooked up to Google Chrome and we are not familiar with using it. 
5346714,49593481,2015-10-05,35997197,Brittany,"The house was great!  Everything was clean and neat. The house was walking distance to everything we needed, and we really enjoyed our stay. "
5346714,50442681,2015-10-12,36066797,Patrick,"Jill provided our group with an amazing experience in Austin for ACL Music Festival! She provided us with everything we needed, including nice water bottles for us to use at the festival and a hand written note upon entry. The house is in a great location with great restaurants nearby and Zilker Park/Barton Springs were an easy walk for us. Definitely recommend staying at this house, it made for an excellent weekend with a group of friends in a new city. "
8831461,52032578,2015-10-25,9323582,Anaëlle,We had an amazing time at Lisa's apartment. Lisa is really sweet and made us feel like home. Her apartment is clean and nice. The apartment is a short drive from downtown and is in a really nice and safe area. 
1124510,9338647,2013-12-22,10561997,April,"Edith was SO accommodating to me for my stay with her! I needed a place last minute with my cat and she was so flexible and welcoming, even with all my itinerary changes! She has this listed as a private room, but it was really like my own little apartment for the 2 and a half weeks I stayed there. Completely private, quiet and relaxing! She was such a gracious host but left me on my own unless I needed something, in which case, she would respond to me instantly. She provided little luxuries when I arrived of cokes and coffees and teas, which was much needed after a long drive into town. I cannot recommend her or her place highly enough, she was truly an absolute life saver for me! "
1124510,9534692,2014-01-01,10728328,Bonn,"Edith accommodated us at the last minute when another arrangement fell through.  Thanks, Edith.  Lots of spare space, clean and private with a very helpful and gracious host.  The motel-style, wall-mounted heater/AC unit might be a little loud for some (not me) if I had to find something to quibble about. Recommended."
1124510,10253162,2014-02-09,11240852,Sam,Edith was a great host and the room was great. Felt much more like my own place than a private room since I had a separate entrance from the main house. I recommend this rental.
1124510,10436477,2014-02-18,11980588,Larry,"Had a great stay in Edith's Loft. The place was convenient & clean, perfect for us and our stay.    "
1124510,10596171,2014-02-26,101102,Rustin,"Edith was very kind and hospitable. The room was comfortable. The bathroom is downstairs in the garage which if you have to go frequently or in the middle of the night, it may be inconvenient. That being said, you can't beat the price for Austin and you are very close to the freeway. You can be anywhere in Austin in 15 minutes."
1124510,10672272,2014-03-02,12617693,Daniel,"We stayed on a Friday night, and it was a nice quiet place to sleep. The room is simple but comfortable, and Edith was friendly and accommodating.  It was a great place to stay, especially for the price."
1124510,11336105,2014-03-30,11672438,Annie,"We stayed five nights and it was great.  The room is BIG and very private, clean and comfortable.  Yes, you have to go downstairs for the bathroom, but if you can handle that it's a real bargain.  We would definitely stay there again.  Wifi was spotty (worked most of the time on my laptop, usually not on my iPhone).  Otherwise wonderful."
1124510,11388549,2014-03-31,13275832,Matt,"Great place, great location, super roomy, and Edith was super accomodating and friendly.  Highly recommended."
1124510,11569656,2014-04-07,12183077,Gene,"Awesome spot for the money, can't beat it. It's a pretty big space. The host is very nice, and the area is decent. Will definitely consider this as a great option when I am back in town :)"
1124510,11926791,2014-04-19,5760516,Cyrus,"Edith was a great host and place is a gem for the price. Lots of privacy and has everything you need (fridge, microwave, bed, couch, desk, chair, etc.) Out two dogs just loved the yard and the upstairs. It has an awesome swamp cooler that keeps it nice and cool in the evening. "
1124510,12289033,2014-04-28,13483992,Suzanne,"We had a great stay at Edith's. She was very friendly and helpful.  The loft was clean and had everything we needed.  The location was perfect, very central.  We will stay here next time we come back."
1124510,13107687,2014-05-19,15180361,Robert,Edith's loft was in a very convenient location close to downtown.  She provided extra beds for my group.  The loft was very private because it is separate from the house. Edith was very nice and gave us everything we needed for a great visit! 
1124510,13449097,2014-05-27,15648937,Jared,"Staying with Edith is Austin was great. It is very close to and easy to get to downtown Austin. The backyard was fenced, which was great for our dog! Lots of room in the loft for bags, luggage, etc. Very quiet and comfortable. The mini-fridge and microwave were very useful. We were not disturbed at all and would definitely stay here again!

The only downside is the bathroom is down the stairs but it was not a problem for us!"
1124510,15087493,2014-07-02,9895635,Danny,"What a wonderful way to be welcomed to Austin!
We moved here from New Jersey in the beginning of June 2014. This was going to be the first time either one of us would be living so far away from loved ones, and Edith and her family made it such an easy transition. From helping us get acquainted with the area to just friendly conversation while we were apartment and job hunting, they made us feel like we were at home.
Their space is located in a convenient location, which made traveling around the city stress-free, and they have plenty of space for their guests to park. They were very approachable throughout our entire stay, and it was so great to be able to come and go as we pleased with very little intrusion.
We would recommend Edith’s place to anyone coming to Austin; whether they are coming down for a weekend trip or in the need of a place to stay while they move. "
1124510,15851091,2014-07-16,17970770,Eric,Edith was very nice and very helpful this is a great little place to get away from it all. very private. nice located and fairly easy to find. i would stay again 
1124510,17207910,2014-08-09,10877425,Liz & Jason,"My husband, doxie, and I had a lovely time at Edith's. Her entire family went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and make sure we had everything we needed. The loft is private enough to not feel like you're intruding; yet, still close enough to feel comfortable approaching them if you have questions or just want to chat! Our dog is quite a handful and he even felt welcomed by everyone, especially their dog Willie. Edith was very flexible about check-in and check-out times and just made it all so easy. We enjoyed exploring the South side of Austin and really enjoyed and are thankful that Edith shared this space with us! "
1124510,17791650,2014-08-17,4565824,Taylor,"I am happy I had the opportunity to stay here. Edith and her family were very courteous and welcoming. The loft was very private and a lot more spacious than the pictures suggest. More people could comfortably fit. The location was also convenient. The home is on a main street that goes directly to downtown. It's only about a 10-minute drive away! Even closer is the South First area, which has tons of cool restaurants/food trailers and shops. There's also a very close bus route that goes downtown, to UT, and beyond!!"
1124510,17906610,2014-08-18,15943316,Albert,"Great location, very easy to get to south congress, downtown, and zilker park. Came up to Austin for a day trip. Check in was extremely easy, the room was very private since it was separate from the main house. We had a great time and would love to stay again. "
1124510,18216606,2014-08-23,12183077,Gene,"Awesome stay, second one this year. Great hosts, really chill. Always a snack or drink for us when we arrive, Nice treat if you forget to stock up when you get (website hidden) worked great. Hosts hooked up tape and cardboard for us to Mcguiver a checked in luggage. Deffinetely coming back to the host."
1124510,18611818,2014-08-28,18343106,Mackenzie,Edith was very hospitable and had everything we could have needed in her loft. She is very nice and welcoming! Quiet neighborhood 
1124510,20334260,2014-09-28,17375327,Matthew,"Stayed here for one full month. Lovely room; spacious. Great location, close to downtown. Edith was super nice and very helpful. Very laid back and flexible with check-in/out times. The room is separated from the rest of the house, so you basically can come and go as you please without worrying about disturbing anyone. There were internet connection issues at first, but she was understanding of my need for connectivity and fixed the situation very promptly. The downstairs bathroom can be a pain, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Overall, a pleasant experience and would certainly stay again. Thanks Edith!!! "
1124510,20793433,2014-10-05,3000205,Eric Bofa,"I only briefly met Edith, but her husband was very helpful welcoming me to their place. It was very spacious and quiet. I only stayed one night but really enjoyed it."
1124510,20813688,2014-10-06,14629205,Leland,Edith was welcoming and hospitable for my one night stay. The room was comfortable and just what I needed for a good night of sleep!
1124510,20940750,2014-10-07,5478341,Ayumi,Very closed to downtown and room was BIG!! Very comfortable place! Private entrance and provate bathroom!! Perfect;)!!! Thank you!
1124510,21276768,2014-10-14,16028390,Jamie,Great hosts and a very nice loft. Easy to get to downtown and ACL on the bus. Could not have asked for anything more from my first airbnb booking.
1124510,21493222,2014-10-18,4447842,Caroline,"Comfortable, quite private room and bathroom-great for me and my dog. Edith and her family made sure I was comfortable. They even let my dog run free in their yard and play all day with their dog Willie. "
1124510,21633135,2014-10-20,15180563,Derek,Edith was very friendly and the location is great! I appreciated how clean the loft was. Edith and family were very welcoming. I would fully recommend this location to anyone.
1124510,21969902,2014-10-27,15871858,William,"The place was great. Spacious. The one potential downside (for some people) was the bathroom was not in the garage apartment, you had to go downstairs, to other side of garage. And shower was small. But definitely no where near a deal breaker for me. It's a great location and would easily book again without hesitation. "
1124510,22355082,2014-11-04,18654072,Jake,"Edith was great. She was very flexible with arrival and departure & the loft is cozy and safe. If you're planning on going to Austin, see if you can stay here. It's in a great part of town and not far from bus stops that take you straight into downtown. I enjoyed it."
1124510,22644395,2014-11-11,14295529,Jordan,Fantastic place to stay. Very friendly and courteous to privacy. I would definitely stay here again!
1124510,22957351,2014-11-18,3381734,Jane,This is a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin. Edith and her family were nice and welcoming and the loft was clean and really comfortable for my two night stay. It was quite cold during my stay in Austin but the loft was very well insulated with an excellent heater and I found it warm and cosy. The house is situated on one of the main bus routes into the city so downtown was very accessible even though I was without a car. I would definitely stay with Edith & her family again if I'm ever in Austin.
1124510,23509161,2014-12-02,1370533,Joshua,"The place was clean, spacious, and convenient. There was a randall's nearby and close to a shopping center. Although the internet was slow the overall experience was great."
1124510,23767959,2014-12-09,1370533,Joshua,Another great stay
1124510,26209976,2015-02-07,24881217,Nicholas,"I stayed in the loft for 5 weeks and enjoyed everything about it.  It's comfortable, 'home-y', and private.  The hosts were responsive and accommodating.   10-15 minute bus ride into downtown.  Very cool coffee shop, Strange Brew, is a 5 minute drive or 30-40 minute walk away.  Would stay there again for sure."
1124510,26551896,2015-02-15,26956481,Mark,"Listing was accurate, nice place! When I come back to Austin I will be seeing if it is available!!! Would definitely stay here again!"
1124510,26684040,2015-02-17,25796848,Eliel,"Very nice, warm and inviting space!  When we return to Austin we will definitely look into another stay!"
1124510,27295009,2015-03-01,19714845,Jason,Awesome place! Host was great and the location along with property was top notch. Very private and cozy. 
1124510,27757831,2015-03-11,1455673,Jacqueline,"Edith was extremely helpful and generous. The place is a  very large garage apartment separate from Edith's house. There is no kitchen access but there is a microwave and a small fridge in the room. So I had a lot of privacy but Edith was always immediately accessible by texting. The bathroom is outside the room but inside the garage. It was a little inconvenient but not overly so.

The neighborhood seemed reasonably safe to me- the number 10 bus stop is a few minutes walk and will take you downtown in about 15 minutes. I did not walk around at night, but I did catch the bus once early in the morning when it was dark: the area was very well lit and there were many cars going by because South 1st is a major road. It is a 10-minute walk to an inexpensive Mexican grocery, and the hipster parts of S 1st and S Congress are very close if you have a car. I think this room is very good value for money and I would stay there again."
1124510,28765894,2015-03-29,7796454,Ann,What a wonderful host!  The room and bathroom were clean with additional beds.  The mini frig and microwave were also a treat.  Thank you Edith!  I will definitely contact you in the future if/when I am in that part of Austin.
1124510,28851193,2015-03-30,30005286,Amir,My stay was very short only one night. The place was nice and clean and much better than what I expected and it's equipped with everything you need.
1124510,29633257,2015-04-10,13037424,Ismael,Edith was a great host and would recommend anyone you stay with her. She was very accommodating and even helped watch my dog when I had a family emergency. The loft is very clean and spacious. Great location and I would recommend to anyone to stay with her.
1124510,29846555,2015-04-13,1576131,Thienan,"Edith was very accommodating and friendly. Her home is situated so close to plenty of popular eateries. Her dog Willie was such a sweetie! The loft was very quiet and spacious, yet we had plenty of privacy."
1124510,30334150,2015-04-20,30441279,Fernando,This was a fantastic first time Airbnb experience. Edith and her family were very accommodating and understanding. When unforeseen circumstances occurred Edith was extremely compassionate and concerned. She offered several options that she didn't have to offer and definitely wasn't required to offer in order to try and help with the situation. Thank you so much! I will definitely look you up next time I'm headed to Austin. 
1124510,30913683,2015-04-28,31881172,Amy,"This location is not bad for those who want independence/privacy. The loft is above a detached garage guarded by a very cute doggy. There are multiple beds and a couch. My only complaint would be that the shower is a bit small, so if you're a bigger person, this might not be the right place for you. But all in all, my friend and I were quite comfortable here during our short one night stay here."
1124510,31461534,2015-05-05,20332454,Michael,"Edith was very hospitable and greeted me when I arrived. Although I was just staying for one night, I couldn't ask for more and was comfortable in the space. I had an issue getting on wi-fi but Edith was able to get that resolved for me. Conveniently located just steps from a bus stop that took me everywhere I needed to go. I was traveling solo and just needed a place to crash overnight while I explored the city of Austin, and Edith's place was great for that. The bathroom is (as described) downstairs from the apartment space, but since you have the space to yourself, it wasn't an issue. No complaints."
1124510,33936378,2015-06-02,32913382,Hannah,"We loved this place! It was way better than we expected. Great place to stay for someone that is exploring the city and needs a place to crash or a cool and cozy hangout during the hot summer days.  Edith was a great host, very accommodating!"
1124510,34481321,2015-06-08,29077990,Terri,"My friend and I decided to spend a best friend's weekend in Austin.  Located behind her home above the garage, Edith's loft space was more than we needed for our two night stay.  It was clean,  quiet, the beds were comfortable, air conditioned, and a perfect location.  We were minutes from downtown Austin which made navigating the city super easy.  She had books available on things to do in Austin, magazines for our reading pleasure, and WiFi available.  The room could easily accommodate up to 10 people comfortably.   Though we did not use these things it was cool that they were available.  Inside the room was a coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge.  I would without a doubt stay here again and recommend Edith's place to anyone I know."
1124510,36781335,2015-07-01,12390834,Rachel,Edith and Rebel are gracious hosts and it was my pleasure to spend my first couple of weeks in Austin at their loft. It is cool and comfortable and very quiet. Definitely recommend their place for either a short or long term stay.
1124510,37675825,2015-07-09,2720542,Ian,"I was moving to Austin and needed a place to stay temporarily with a lot of space for all my stuff. This room is indeed very large, I think larger than some of the apartments I looked at while staying there. The place is reasonably quiet and easy to get to, and parking my car was never a problem at all. It's worth noting that this room is a loft over a garage, not attached to the main house, so there's quite a bit of privacy as well. Edith was always very courteous and hospitable whenever I saw her. My visit happened to overlap the Fourth of July, and Edith and Rebel invited me into their home for a barbecue meal, drinks, and conversations all through the evening with some of their family and friends. It was a very warm welcome to my new city."
1124510,38230043,2015-07-13,27187494,Alma,"Edith's place was awesome, very quiet, clean and spacious it was a group of 6 and had plenty of space and close to downtown will definately come back if possible. "
1124510,39068161,2015-07-20,27700506,Siyanda,Was a great place to. Really close to the city and right near a bus stop. Would highly recommend for either singles or a group. Really private. 
1124510,40150453,2015-07-28,37941579,Yubika,Edith was very considerate and her loft was very well equipped and spacious. I would definitely recommend her place to anyone! 
1124510,40910620,2015-08-03,30662954,Amber,"Great place in Austin! Private, clean, spacious, with garage for your car. Really enjoyed the stay. Edith was a gracious host and even provided refreshments from the long journey."
1124510,42403554,2015-08-13,35774422,Artemis,"Edith was really hospitable and helpful. She really made my arrival and stay there very safe and easy. Since I arrived as an international student with heavy luggage, she came and picked me up from the airport and drove me  to my apartment later on, and whatever I wanted she was really eager to help out,share information and friendly conversations.
The room is very spacious and the location, although it might seem far in the beginning , it actually is quite easy to reach, since there is a bus stop 2 minutes away. The drive down town is quite nice and you get an idea of South Austin,the local Austinites and local restaurants and food trucks. Staying at Edith's gave me the chance to explore south austin, something I wouldn't have done otherwise."
1124510,43082234,2015-08-17,37877167,Martin,Edith place was awesome! Very comfortable and close to everything I am definitely staying there again next time I am in Austin!! Thank you!!!
1124510,44740745,2015-08-28,41961598,Jessica,"Edith's place was super easy to find, as it was right off of a main road and she also gave great directions. It was very clean, spacious, and we were greeted and shown around. "
1124510,45209907,2015-08-31,33683528,Staci,It took me weeks to get my account to where I could log in again which is why this is so late but Edith is a great host! We had everything we needed and had the privacy so we never bothered anyone while we were coming and going. I would definitely stay again! Thanks! 
1124510,46017265,2015-09-07,40448521,Nidhi,"Edith was a perfect host. The loft was as described in the posting, it was clean, very welcoming and had enough privacy. The AC was powerful enough to cool the huge loft during the 100 degree F Austin, TX weather while I was there. Edith and her family were very friendly. The location was perfect for me, everything was within few minutes of driving."
1124510,46942327,2015-09-14,42334960,Kaushik,"We had a really nice stay, the room was clean and neatly organized. Edith was very friendly, although we barely saw them while we were there since we were out wandering the town most of the time. The location is perfect as it is very close to Austin Downtown. Overall we got a wonderful experience of stay while exploring the beautiful city of Austin."
1124510,47723676,2015-09-21,41425752,Colette,"Edith was most accommodating and welcoming to both my daughter and me. Even though we arrived late (as I had indicated in advance that this would be the case) Edith was available to us when we arrived. A gentleman with her did all of the orientation and provided the information regarding our room. The room itself was in a loft built above a free standing garage behind the house so it was quiet, private and comfortable. The beds were also quite comfortable with clean, fresh linen and comforters, etc. and there was a small fridge and micro-wave oven in the room along with plenty of bottled water and Cokes. Overall the room was just fine.  I really liked the loft/sleeping living area itself as did my daughter."
1124510,49358195,2015-10-03,40046783,Josh,"I'm not sure I could imagine a better first time experience using Airbnb. Edith & Rebel were incredible hosts and extremely accommodating to all my needs. The ""loft"" is huge and very comfortable, and their home is in a great location in South Austin. It's just minutes to SoCo, Downtown, South Lamar, and many other great Austin attractions. Next time I'm in Austin (hopefully soon), I'll be sure to look for this rental again!"
1124510,49603374,2015-10-05,38987281,Valerie,This place was great. Way bigger than I expected. Hosts were great from the beginning. Very accommodating. I'd stay here again for sure. 
1124510,50439223,2015-10-12,38404182,Ashlea,"I highly recommend staying with Edith. This was my first time trying Air BnB and she made the experience such a good one. She thought of everything and was so hospitable. The room was large and extremely clean. She even had a fridge and microwave for us to use. I felt at home and I enjoyed this more than a hotel. She was also very accommodating when I had to change the number of people coming with us, and check out was very relaxed. Easy access to 6th St.  I definitely will stay if I visit Austin again. Thank you Edith!"
1124510,51085289,2015-10-17,44541923,Stefan,"I stayed with Edith for three nights during the week. It was easy to book with her (mine was fairly last-minute) and communicate with her through arrival. The loft is very spacious on the second floor of her detached garage. She and her family were very accommodating of me parking in the garage and coming and going. 

I had a great stay. I was there predominantly to study and get some work done while having an occasional appointment nearby, and it worked perfectly for that. There is a television in the loft with cable for down time. The internet was spotty for half the time--I wasn't relying on it--and Edith fixed the problem when I reported it to her. FYI, if you need fast, reliable internet during your stay, you may want to let her know ahead of time for a more permanent solution. The loft quiet for the most part. The A.C. unit in the loft can be somewhat startling when it turns on and off, if you're a sensitive sleeper. As for privacy, keep in mind that you are staying with a family, so expect to run into them now and again, though they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and undisturbed. You won't get a ""whole house to yourself"" experience, but it's as close as it gets for the price and location."
337125,966897,2012-03-03,970705,Brandon,Simple and effective.  Carolyn was a great host and the neighborhood was great.
337125,999785,2012-03-14,82809,Chris,"Everything went smooth, and Carolyn was a great host! The room was clean and minimal, just as expected, and Carolyn was super friendly and accommodating. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're going to Austin, and ok with being just a little outside of the city. Thanks again!"
337125,1603411,2012-07-01,1806346,Erika,"Lovely quite home in cul de sac, I slept great! Host wonderful, short drive west from downtown! Would stay again easily!!"
337125,2432830,2012-09-27,1972245,Christopher,Carolyn was an ideal host.  She was accommodating and a very easy person to talk to.  The house itself is awesome and is located in an extremely nice neighborhood.  I would definitely stay at Carolyn's again and she will be the first person I contact when I need a place to stay in Austin.  
337125,2926300,2012-11-20,3474199,Alex,"Carolyn was a wonderful host. She set up the room for us, and made us feel at home. Wonderful house, quiet neighborhood, private room, and a great deal during the insane F1 race weekend. What more could you ask for!"
337125,3557300,2013-02-16,2178149,Alex,"Carolyn's house was lovely and she was a very welcoming and accommodating host. Would stay again next time I'm in Austin!
"
337125,3639712,2013-02-26,5009565,Erika,Carolyn was a wonderful host!  Will definitely consider staying there again next time I visit austin. 
337125,3673612,2013-03-02,5229950,Kelly,"Carolyns home was a perfect fit for me because of location (very serene) and it offered some jogging trails nearby amongst the roaming deer.  Great place to KNOW your're welcomed and be comfortable and trusted  everywhere.
Carolyn is always busy,, but is a blast to get to know as well.

Highest regards,,,,  and recommendations.            Kelly d Smith"
337125,4121139,2013-04-11,5229950,Kelly,Carolyn is a consummate host and its always comfortable staying in her home.  
337125,4696966,2013-05-20,6415938,Loverous,Ms. Carolyn was a joy to stay with. Her family history and leisure activities are amazing. I am so glad I got the chance to meet her.  
337125,4853620,2013-05-28,112278,John,"Carolyn was good host and made us feel at home. We admired her athletic abilities and canoeing achievements (she has several).

Her home and our room and bath were clean and comfortable and located in a quiet suburban setting. We especially enjoyed the back yard which was shady and welcoming. Live deer roamed the neighborhood and we saw 6 or 7 near Carolyn's home. 

My wife and I made day trips to the Texas Hill Country using Carolyn's home as our base. We would certainly recommend her accommodation's for your Austin stay. We will certainly stay with her again if future plans call for an Austin destination"
337125,4896825,2013-05-31,3212540,So Young,"The place was clean, quiet and cozy. I will definitely be coming back to this place when I have chance to visit Austin again. Thanks! "

337125,9485579,2013-12-30,10201119,Lois,"I met Carolyn in early evening and enjoyed a fun night with her at a party! She is very welcoming. If time had allowed, I would have gone hiking with her. Will look forward to meeting her again someday! She is a fun person to meet! "
337125,10355024,2014-02-15,11764044,Brian,"This was my first time using AirBnB and it was perfect!  Carolyn was a great hostess!  Very nice and polite.  The place was quite and I was comfortable and loved my stay.  I liked it so much I booked another week to work at the office again.  If I need to stay in Austin again I will call on Carolyn. Thanks again!
Brian"

Looking forward to meeting you again!"

337125,11730862,2014-04-13,14062549,Ana,"Carolyn was very very nice. THe house was hyper clean. I arrived really late and she made sure that via email, voicemail and text I'd have all the information I needed. 
Carolyn has the most gorgeous backyard! I would just charge my laptop in the room and went there to work on my dissertation.:) You feel very at home.  I know where I will stay next time..."
337125,12310784,2014-04-28,2370376,A. Lester,"I had a great one night stay at Carolyn's place.  I arrived late and left early, so I never got to meet her, but she arranged a very smooth check in process, and the room was very comfortable and quiet.  I got one fun bonus as I left in the early morning. A group of five deer were grazing their way up the hill toward me, working the lawns on both sides of the street.  I had one of those ""driveway moments"" as I watched the family eat breakfast!"
337125,13497678,2014-05-28,13866835,Andy,"Nice neighborhood.  Carolyn is also kind.
Thanks"
337125,16161173,2014-07-22,895003,Gina,Carolyn is very nice and she was very helpful. The house is located in a very nice neighborhood. It was easy to get there from the airport. I enjoyed seeing the fawn families walking on the streets.
337125,16236592,2014-07-23,18410000,Ryan,Host was very welcoming. Very nice lady who opened the whole house to me and was fast to respond to my request. Nothing but good things to say about the experience.
337125,16384774,2014-07-26,18410000,Ryan,Very welcoming.  Ended up having to add additional days to my trip and was very responsive to my request.  Nice quiet neighborhood and beautiful backyard.
337125,17703132,2014-08-16,1905944,Alyssa,"Carolyn's place was awesome, and she's even awesomer. Super cool host will make you feel completely at home. Very accommodating. Thanks for everything!"
337125,27036730,2015-02-23,27891154,Marilyn,"Carolyn was very nice but I didn't have too much time with her due to her work schedule.  The room was as advertised, a very comfortable bed, clean, neat, with an awesome view of backyard.  Being a gardener myself I so enjoyed her gardens and landscaping. All in all I would definitely recommend Carolyn's place to anyone.  The neighborhood was great, quiet, beautiful.  The location was handy to where I needed to go.   Thank you Carolyn."
337125,28589523,2015-03-26,9819198,Chad,"Unfortunately I didn't get to spend much time there, mainly crashing for the night, but Carolyn was extremely kind and hospitable! Would happily stay there again."
337125,29475674,2015-04-07,29591279,Meg,"Carolyn was very flexible. She let me arrive late, and allowed to extend the stay one night which I was very grateful for. I felt very welcomed and was happy to hear I could come and go as I pleased. Her oasis of a home is a great spot to stay. Thank you!"
337125,29899921,2015-04-13,30848394,Justin,"My brother and I were on a road trip and found Carolyn's listing. The reviews were very positive and deservedly so. We got in late and Carolyn was very accommodating. We had a great night's rest, toured the beautiful neighborhood, saw tons of deer, and generally enjoyed our brief visit. I had a good chat with her on my way out in the morning, and left wishing we had more time to talk. Alas - next time!"
337125,30894858,2015-04-28,31036519,Ruth,The neighborhood was beautiful with deer roaming around.  Carolyn has a beautiful backyard.  She is kind and gracious.
337125,46236000,2015-09-08,38344801,Keith,Carolyn was very easy to communicate with and fun to chat with as well. The bed was very comfortable and the house was clean. I'd definitely recommend staying with Carolyn. 
337125,49816921,2015-10-06,36929695,Steve,Staying at Carolyn's place was very comfortable for me. She made me feel very welcome and made sure that she addressed any questions I might have. She gave me insight on local places to jog and even made poached eggs for me one morning which was very nice... as well as delicious.
8301814,50489256,2015-10-12,43624182,Kaitlyn,"Lola (Lauren) was a great, friendly host! Everything was as described. Her place was cute, clean, and Lola left us everything we needed. She was out of town for part of our stay, but she provided us with labels around the house and plenty of contacts in town in case we needed anything. 
We would definitely rent this place again! "
321718,3773790,2013-03-13,4132623,Lindsay,"David was extremely accommodating. From a crazy back and forth with guests and dates (our fault!), to mapping out runs and restaurants, David was fantastic. His house was a perfect blend of Austin and so inviting. There is a fantastic backyard, hammock, and even a vegetable garden. Approx. 3 miles from downtown. Thank you for opening up your home Ansel family!"
321718,21278379,2014-10-14,17574855,James,"We were very pleased with our accommodations. Our host's were friendly and generous and welcomed us with a thorough orientation to their home and things we needed to know to make our stay a pleasant one. The property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed the roomy back porch area, garden patio and Koi pool.. This home was beautifully decorated and exactly as described, meeting all our needs and surpassing our expectations.  We would love to stay here again."
321718,50629754,2015-10-13,38624378,Sean,"David was a great host! We had a group of 8 stay during the Austin City Limits Festival this year. House has plenty of space and all the amenities you need for time away. We were all very impressed. Location was great too, within walking distance to many different activities. Would definitely book again! "
5337893,28509174,2015-03-24,28863993,Taaj,"Place was great 
 "
5337893,52197989,2015-10-26,44630432,Steven,"First disclaimer, my trip was booked for a 2 night stay the day of arrival so it was a very short term notice. 

Now, following disclaimer, upon arrival we were a little weary of the area (having never even been to Texas) as it didn't look like somewhere you want to go and walk around (neighbors have bars on all windows and doors). The house was nice, updated, and as described. The first thing we noticed when entering was an extremely powerful smell of dog. We were traveling with 2 dogs and even to us, it was a very strong odor. After lighting some candles and doing a little cleaning, it wasn't too bad. Internet was reliable and extremely fast, kitchen was missing a microwave for our leftovers but no big deal. House was equipped with everything else you may need for your trip. 

Overall the house was nice, host contacted us to see if there were any issues, and everything went well. Our biggest drawback for this listing was the area (although 10-15 from DT was nice) and the cleanliness is the home. Dog smell and cobwebs in every corner and on every window was a set back. "
79560,201762,2011-03-17,416104,Yves,"Nice, comfortable house with a big garden. Quiet, pleasant neighborhood.
Owner easy going and helpful.

7091381,43707647,2015-08-21,4388023,Bill,"William was incredibly responsive, everything a good AirBnb host should be.  He was in immediate contact when I made the reservation, he gave me good instructions, and responded quickly when I had questions.  It always felt like he was close at hand.

I can't imagine getting a better place for the money.  It was homey, clean, and in easy walking distance to the Austin Convention Center and very, very close to Rainey Street.  

It is quite close to the highway; the service road is literally about 50 feet away, so if traffic noise bothers you, you may need some white noise (the ceiling fan worked for me).  But otherwise the place is ideal.  "
7091381,48047585,2015-09-22,13095571,Spencer,The house was really chill. I definitely recommend it. 
7091381,48519135,2015-09-27,2457798,Erika,"Everything was awesome. The location was great. We walked to a couple bars. We had no issues with key exchange even though my friend got in before me and will was extremely responsive whenever we had any questions. Very clean, comfortable bed, had fresh towels, and a piano. way better than a hotel. "
7091381,49468401,2015-10-04,42702273,Amy,"This is a really adorable house in a great location. We showed up and the house was tidy and had everything we needed for the weekend.There were only two of us, but it could definitely fit 4 people. It's a short walk from Rainey Street and Caesar Chavez area, and a cheap uber over to 6th street. William responded quickly and gave great recommendations for things to do in the area. This is really a wonderful place to stay for a true Austin experience."
7091381,50439091,2015-10-12,17819992,Jonah,"Great Austin experience! Location is centrally located to everything. House is clean, cozy and the communication with the host couldn't have been easier. "
7091381,51146353,2015-10-18,43176417,Burt,"William was a very kind and responsive host. The house was wonderful and exactly as advertised. Great location, nice beds, fun porch. Would stay again."

8226080,47928105,2015-09-21,17383938,Tori,"If you're familiar with Austin (or Austin traffic), you already know staying on the Eastside is so convenient, as it's an easy, traffic-free Uber ride to both the airport and downtown. The location of this home is perfect for getting around town without relying on major freeways and congested highways to get around to all the hot spots in town. 

The home itself is perfect for families or groups. All four bedrooms are located upstairs and share two bathrooms. 

The highlights of the home are the family room, where there is a huge sectional sofa around a TV, and the xeriscaped backyard - perfect for entertaining or having dinner. 

I would definitely stay here again. "
8226080,50680909,2015-10-13,44800757,Ashley,"I unfortunately did not get to meet Marguerite personally since I arrived later than my friends but she was very kind every time I texted her, and was always willing to help. The house is so pretty and very spacious, I would recommend this place to friends and family. "
8226080,51398940,2015-10-19,46301655,Nathaniel,"Cool place, worked perfect for us and lived that it was so close to the downtown life. Even better host. Overall A+ experience, would definitely recommend."

3361161,24382312,2014-12-27,10722086,Pat,"Our family very much enjoyed staying at this Austin apartment over Christmas while visiting family in the neighborhood.  The apartment matched the description & everything worked well.  The hosts offered additional services that we didn't need but it was good to know they were available.  The neighborhood is great & very walkable.  Be prepared for hills, but then Austin is located in Hill Country.  "
3361161,27352679,2015-03-02,18837934,Dar,Jay is a great and the home he rented us was beautiful. It was in a great location and immaculately maintained. He kept us updated of our stay and upgraded us to a nicer unit when another guest asked to extend their stay. This was a great experience... highly recommended.
3361161,30221598,2015-04-19,2278508,Rina,"We had a lovely stay at Barton View. A.We stayed in Austin to visit our daughter and Barton view was close and convenient to everything. Very quiet, peaceful, and serene. We loved having breakfast and lunch on the patio while overlooking the trees. Jay was very friendly and accommodating and helped us find our way when our GPS took us the wrong way from the airport late at night. We enjoyed the tasteful decorating, the artwork, and soothing color scheme. We plan to stay again at Barton View! "
4317807,22350253,2014-11-03,23185787,Jason,"What an amazing host and amazing first Airbnb experience for my wife and I in Austin.  Monica was so kind, accommodating, and even cooked us an authentic breakfast!  Very cool, hip, art deco house in the cutest neighborhood!  Highly recommend!  Lots of room in the bedroom and very nice private bath.  "

942883,7529185,2013-09-23,5147561,Andrew,Great condo! Lupe was very warm and accommodating. The apartment was well furnished and very clean. Would stay again!
942883,7783168,2013-10-02,9017515,Noah,"Clean place in a great location, and Lupe was always helpful!"
942883,8236991,2013-10-21,7707757,Jimmy,"I really liked Lupe's cozy little condo near Hyde Park! Lupe was accommodating and helpful with check-in, amenities, and even suggesting places to go, despite being out of the country during our stay in Austin. 

The unit itself is easy to find, with great assigned parking that is very closeby. Lupe provides more than enough supplies and whatnot in the condo: fridge, microwave, stove, pots & pans, coffee, tea; more than you need on a weekend trip. The bed is a tad too soft for my tastes, but I can't really complain. 

I would definitely consider staying here again! "
942883,8631732,2013-11-09,9756224,Spencer,"The condo is nicer than depicted and after spending months living in hotels was a huge upgrade.  The bed is extremely comfortable and I slept very well.  The location is excellent as you're not too far from UT and walking distance to several restaurants, stores and bars.  Lupe was very accommodating and took excellent care of me. She went out of her way to make sure that the items I mistakenly left were returned to me after I'd gone which was quite a relief.  If I return to Austin I'll definitely book it again."
942883,8997010,2013-12-01,3666330,Kathy,Lupe's condo is great and exactly as described. I experienced a very noisy Friday night but that may have been due to the Texas college football games
942883,10291090,2014-02-11,6857563,Peter,"A cozy yet fully-appointed one-bedroom flat admirably suited to extended stay, very convenient (3-4 blocks) to the UT campus.  Full kitchen with compact range, oven and dishwasher, microwave, fridge, toaster and coffee maker.  The first two days being cold and sleety I made good use of the electric fireplace.  The last day being sunny and in the 70's, I opened the windows and got a lovely breeze there on the third floor.  Central air and heat as well as ceiling fans give a wide range of comfort options. Real hardwood floors, full bath and a small balcony on the shady side of the apartment complete the amenities.

Both apartment and furnishings looked quite new and fresh.  Clever use of mirrors and color scheme give the rooms a spacious feel.  Of course if you want to go out there are plenty of options for dining and entertainment within 15-20 minutes' drive, door-to-door.

The neighborhood was very quiet: there was some minor noise from passing traffic but none from neighbors.  It also seemed quite safe: I noticed people walking, jogging and bicycling at all hours.  There is reserved, covered off-street parking included in the price of rental.

Lupe is an accommodating and affable host: she was there to greet me and show me all the particulars of the place.  I strongly recommend her and her property for anyone seeking a pleasant extended stay in Austin."
942883,10375128,2014-02-16,353563,Bob,"I was there for a few days house-hunting. I was initially staying at a long-term hotel that my wife set up, but it was pretty awful (bad location, noisy, stinky) so I cut that short and found this apartment on airbnb instead. That was a great decision. I'm not kidding... the clouds opened up and there was choir music as it went from 40s and drizzly to sunny and 70s. So apparently this apartment also makes good weather happen.

The place itself was excellent (clean and great location) and Lupe was great to work with. It's just off campus, with several really good restaurants, coffeeshops, and bars within easy walking distance. I recommend foodheads, salvation pizza, and the japanese street food truck ""love balls"" inside Spider House (a very cool bar). I was using car2go while I was there (which I recommend, but you need to set up ahead of time), and there were always cars available within a couple blocks.

I was working remotely from the apartment whenever I wasn't checking out houses, and I'm happy to report that the wifi was rock-solid. I've stayed at a few airbnbs in Austin over the years, and I think this was my best experience. Excellent deal, I would definitely use again. But hopefully I'll have my own house shortly anyway. :-)"
942883,10459875,2014-02-19,12237300,Brian,"Lupe was a fantastic host, and her condo is a beautiful and quiet place with easy access to UT and the rest of Austin."
942883,10551935,2014-02-24,12208789,Lauren,Lupe was sweet and very easy to work with. The apartment was lovely and clean. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to others. 
942883,11050365,2014-03-18,1936924,Anna,"Lupe's apartment was super clean and cute! We had a very smooth experience, as Lupe was in full communication whenever we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this place when visiting Austin! "
942883,11148743,2014-03-23,11555628,Janell,"The apartment was cute, comfortable, and clean! Lupe was very helpful and kept in contact with me in the days before the trip, so I didn't have any questions or concerns when I got to the apartment. The location is great as well, close to Guadalupe and the University, but not too crazy loud. There are really convenient bus stops nearby or an assigned parking spot if you have a car. Overall, really convenient and comfortable and I had a great stay!"
942883,12344948,2014-04-29,778079,Jenna,Lupe's apartment was very nice. It had all of the amenities I needed and was convenient to central Austin. Additionally she was very easy to work with. I'd stay there again when visiting Austin!
942883,13134010,2014-05-20,12698331,Suzanne,"This is the first time that I've used airbnb and the whole experience was pleasant. Lupe responded very quickly regarding my reservation and my stay at her condo. The condo was a great location, easy access to the UT campus and highways. Lupe's condo is very comfortable, clean and quiet. "
942883,13426152,2014-05-27,7065596,Jacob,Lupe was an excellent host. She was very responsive so that I was able to easily get in even though I arrived to the apartment after midnight. And she she made it very easy for me to check-out at the end of my state. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. It contained everything I needed. I highly recommend Lupe's home. 
942883,13754022,2014-06-03,15194388,Deborah,"My husband and I loved staying in Lupe's Cozy Birdnest Condo.  This cozy little place had a view of the UT Clock Tower and covered parking.  We had plenty of room and the air conditioning was the best!  I would recommend this convient location to anyone staying in the Austin area.
P.S. Lupe was kind enough to leave us a bottle of water and it was really appreciated!  Thanks Lupe!"
942883,14294555,2014-06-16,639863,Heather,"The condo is in a great central location with quiet neighbors and ample parking. Well-appointed, very comfortable bed, and great interior design. Lupe was helpful and an excellent host. Our father loved his stay very much, was able to enjoy walks around the neighborhood and made lots of jokes about it being his own new apartment. Thanks for a great stay Lupe! :)"
942883,14534522,2014-06-21,280775,Hitesh,We had a relaxing stay at Lupe's condo. It is conveniently located and tastefully decorated with many delicious food options near by. My wife and daughter really enjoyed the cool breeze in the balcony. Lupe was prompt and helpful. I will recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin. Cheers.
942883,14866847,2014-06-28,15636891,Ml,"Had a wonderful stay at Lupe's apartment.   The apartment is beautifully decorated, with all the comforts of home including a covered parking space.  
 It is in a wonderful location, quiet and peaceful in a lovely neighborhood that's perfect for walks.   It's close to UT campus and great little restaurants and shops nearby.  The experience of staying here made our visit to Austin memorable and enjoyable.  After a day of exploring and new experiences, it was fun to just come back to the apartment to relax and unwind.  The little patio area is relaxing with lovely trees.  Thank you Lupe for sharing your place with us.  I liked that it was on the 3rd floor and on the end.  Alot of windows gives the space a light airy feeling. We look forward to coming back!"
942883,15337851,2014-07-07,16546535,Matt,The place was great!  It was exactly how it was represented! The neighborhood was awesome too.  There were great places to eat and a terrific health food store within walking distance.  I highly recommend it!!!
942883,15755780,2014-07-15,15058926,Michelle,"The ""Birdnest Condo"" on Speedway in Austin was the perfect apartment for quick access to the UT campus and the pleasures of the Hyde Park neighborhood.  With a relaxing living room, useful kitchen and a very comfy bed, what more could you ask for?  A short walk to campus?  You got that, too.  A reserved parking space?  Yes.  A quiet apartment building? Yes, that is true.
All in all, it's a super deal and a lovely rental!
We will definitely stay here again should we make it back to Austin."
942883,16322560,2014-07-25,1175846,Jere,I stayed at Cozy Birdnest for several days and liked it very much.  Lupe is a considerate and responsive host and the apartment is well-equipped and comfortable.  The neighborhood is just north of the UT campus and there are coffee shops a few blocks away on Guadalupe.   I thought the neighborhood might be noisy--there are lots of student digs around--but it was very quiet during my (July) stay.  The apartment was just as Lupe described it and I would certainly stay here again if I needed a place in central Austin.
942883,17116855,2014-08-07,10334423,George,"Ms Gomez met me at the condo on my arrival to Austin.  She was very helpful.  The condo was clean and extremely convenient to everything I needed on my visit to Austin.  The condo itself was lovely and clean.  I felt quite safe.  The condo is in a lovely and safe neighborhood.  I would consider renting here again on my next trip to Austin.
"
942883,17404955,2014-08-11,3406432,Way,Lupe has a nice and clean house! The air-conditioning works great too especially for the hot Texas days!  Parking spot was also very convenient.  I would definitely stay here again in the future.  
942883,17864631,2014-08-18,528053,Anne,This is a lovely condo.  It is just right for one or two people.  It is very near the U of Texas and so excellent for visiting parents.  It is very clean and has all the necessities to make life comfortable during your visit.  As my son is now at the U of T I am sure I will be back. Lupe is a delight and very accommodating.  
942883,18439766,2014-08-26,19871174,Pete,"I stayed in the unit for a week and it was terrific, just steps away from UT and nice eating places. Lupe was very resourceful and helpful. I would highly recommend this for anyone coming to Austin and looking for a convenient place to stay. It is merely perfect."
942883,18758454,2014-08-31,19342608,David,"Excellent time! Just as expected. Thank you so much Lupe, we certainly plan on staying again!"
942883,19211986,2014-09-08,19599901,Evelyn,"This was a wonderful cozy condo just off of the UT campus. Comfy bed, great view from the little balcony, a covered parking spot and in a great area of Austin! PERFECT place to stay if you're in town for a football game! Thanks Lupe!"
942883,20013324,2014-09-22,13543850,Stephanie,"My friend and I stayed at the birdnest and it was truly a lovely & comfortable experience. The apartment was nicely decorated, in a beautiful neighborhood, and had every amenity available, including coffee and water. There was no iron, but Lupe explained concerns about possible damage and provides a wrinkle free spray instead. The bed was incredibly comfortable, as were the pillows! Sometimes it is the small things that matter most! Lupe was available to answer any questions I had and made the entire experience easy. I highly recommend this apartment if you plan to visit Austin."
942883,20569161,2014-10-01,10512396,Burch,"Lupe was super nice and accommodating! Made sure everything was ok and even offered a ride from the airport if she was in town. Apartment was great and in easy walking distance to UT, buses, and good food. Really enjoyed the place, the neighborhood, and Lupe. I definitely recommend it for anyone visiting UT."
942883,20929778,2014-10-07,21848289,Patty,"The birdnest is just as Lupe described.  It was a cozy, clean and relaxing oasis.  
Lupe remained in touch to be sure we arrived without issue.  It was reassuring to know that Lupe was available should we have any questions.  We can not wait to go back! "
942883,21078128,2014-10-11,8472927,Karen,"Lupe is a wonderful host. She greeted me, showed me around, helped me figure out travel to campus, and even gave me a life to my hearby appointment. I truly felt I could call on her if something came up. The apartment was spotless, and with generous amenities (towels, tissues, kitchen basics). The area is lovely, with stately homes. It is on a large street but I heard no noise. There is a small balcony for that evening ""repose."" Like other Southern cities, if you have a car it is easier to get groceries, etc., but I was quite happy with what I could find nearby."
942883,21301648,2014-10-14,21196404,Lisa,Lupe was a very nice host and very easy to work with. The room was immaculate and charming. A nice experience overall.
942883,21605807,2014-10-20,21696334,Samantha,"Nicely maintained one bedroom apartment.  Good location, but not recommended for light sleepers because of heavy street noise."
942883,22024089,2014-10-28,21377264,Kevin,"This unit is as described--small and cozy in a quiet complex and residential neighborhood. It's very conveniently located for easy access to campus, about a 20 minute walk. Central Market is about a $5 cab ride or 20 minute walk. Otherwise, the unit is fully equipped with whatever you might need. I am a former local so didn't require help or assistance from Lupe but she reached out to check on me upon arrival and was prompt/acessible/friendly in the few email exchanges we had. I expect she'd be a great resource for visitors but this place is also ideal for those who know their way around and like the independence of their own little condo in central Austin. I would definitely stay here again. "
942883,22113925,2014-10-30,21266179,Bonnie,It really is a cozy birthnest! Clean and in a safe area. Questions were answered quickly and efficiently by Lupe.  I will stay here again and refer to friends.
942883,22234735,2014-11-02,6801193,Nina & Michael,"Had a lovely 3 night stay in the birdnest. Very clean and comfy.  Really appreciated the ceiling fans for fresh air.  The neighborhood felt safe and was convenient to bus routes into town for entertainment.  Loved going to ""Ester Follies"" a live political satire show, which was hysterical."
942883,22530160,2014-11-09,20492697,Eric,"Lupe contacted me upon confirmation and then followed up prior to my arrival.  She was accessible and everything was as represented.  Good location to UT campus.

The apartment was clean, everything worked and I would definitely stay here again.

Many thanks,

942883,22805075,2014-11-15,4581701,Rich,The weather fell below freezing while I was in Austin but the condo was cozy and warm. Great location. 
942883,23508285,2014-12-02,3015964,Ryan,Perfect. I use to live two blocks from the apt so it was just like going back in a time machine for me. Lupe is very welcoming and helpful. Easy access to the space and parking. Highly recommend staying her. 
942883,23678364,2014-12-08,13192978,Scott,We had a nice stay at the Birdnest Condo.  It was small but comfortable.  The location near the University was great.  Lupe was easy to reach and prompt in responding.   Great place to stay in Austin.

Loved her approach of putting the important things in a 1-pager on the fridge. Great neighborhood - easy access to anywhere in Austin you want to go (try Juiceland nearby!). Thanks, Lupe!"
942883,25435017,2015-01-16,12456574,Ramona,"I needed a place that accommodated my daughter and me, was close to the university, allowed me a comfortable, clean place to hang out as I waited for my daughter's activities to finish, was within walking distance of a Starbucks and was easy to get to from the interstate. All of these needs were met and I couldn't have been happier while there. 

Lupe was quick to respond to texts, worked well with my schedule AND saved my sanity when I found out I had left something behind. 

A lovely place, a lovely experience--I would definitely stay here again. "

Her accommodations were just perfect for me and my son and made his first visit to Austin a welcoming one. We were touring UT as a prospective college choice for my son and the apartment is located conveniently close to campus. The unit is very well appointed and comfortable. I will definitely book again when we come to Austin. Hook 'em!"

The accomodations were clean and comfortable.  Was in walking distance to eating places, Wheatsville coop market, green belt for relaxing walks, near UT. Would love to stay again on our next trip to Austin.
"
942883,31091632,2015-05-02,4881807,Richard & Heather,"Staying at the Birdnest Condo was a treat. Lupe's hospitality helped make my two-week research trip an easy, enjoyable experience. The space is very comfortable and cozy, and the surrounding neighborhood is pleasant. The location is ideal for folks coming to town for UT-related work or fun. The free campus shuttle stops one block away, which was an unexpected bonus! (Lupe--you should mention that in the listing!) Highly recommended. "
942883,31818915,2015-05-10,10512396,Burch,"My second time at the Birdnest and everything was great. It is a cozy apartment close to great food, UT, and downtown. Lupe was always super helpful and quick to respond despite being in Europe on vacation. Another great stay and highly recommended!"
942883,33586957,2015-05-30,15010511,Walter,"I stayed here for two weeks and had a fantastic time, despite some very unusual weather.  I was in town for a conference at UT, traveling alone, and I tend to travel light and don't mind walking and public transportation.  With that in mind, the apartment served my needs perfectly.  Austin is a great town so no need to comment on that.  The condo is very close to bus stops, a bunch of stores, good restaurants and bars, maybe 10 minute walk to UT, etc.  Comfortable bed, super clean, A/C, nice kitchen, top floor corner condo, cute deck, ceiling fans, and so on.  Then to top it all off Lupe is great, perfect communication and she even lent me an umbrella to get me through the storms.  All in all an amazing stay!!"

942883,36416937,2015-06-28,2243977,Ashley,"I stayed in the Birdnest condo for 2 weeks while doing research for my dissertation on UT's campus, and I would strongly recommend it to others who will be visiting UT for research, or who have other business in the UT area. The area was great--safe (I went running through the neighborhood and felt perfectly comfortable), quiet, and a great location. I often walked to the UT campus, which took me about 20-25 minutes (although I was headed to 21st St; if you're headed to a more northern part of campus it would be quicker). For the days that were hot or rainy, there are several bus stops close by (one about a block down on Speedway and another at 34th and Guadalupe), so I found that I never had to wait too long for a bus. I didn't meet Lupe, but she was very accessible by email/text, and checked to make sure I had enough towels, everything was okay, etc. It's a great place, and I was really happy with it. Highly recommend!"
942883,40599644,2015-08-01,5199921,Erin,"Great little apartment with everything you need, and conveniently located near public transportation (with an option on parking, if you prefer to have a car). The nearby laundromat is currently undergoing renovations, but there's another large one approximately a 7-10 minute walk away. Really good location for people coming in to work on the University campus. "
942883,41707663,2015-08-08,35997040,Priscilla,"I enjoyed my stay at LG's birdnest condo very much.  The photos are very accurate, the bed is comfortable, the condo is tastefully decorated.  The small space is very efficiently arranged & well stocked.  The TV has full cable, which was a nice plus too.  The neighborhood location is central to most anywhere in Austin one might want to go.  Also the immediate area is ideal & feels safe.  Within walking distance there is a food co-op market, restaurants, bars, shops & live theater/ballroom.  The public bus stop is less than a block from the condo as well.  I drove my car so I also appreciated the covered parking.  The neighbors were friendly, but politely quite.  The day I arrived, I had a question about accessing the wireless internet.  Ms. Gomez replied to my question very promptly, then followed up with a phone call as well.  I highly recommend this location.  I even booked an additional night myself."
942883,41903482,2015-08-09,35997040,Priscilla,"I enjoyed the condo so much, after staying 3 nights, I extended my stay for an additional night.  I would have ben happy to stay even longer, if I could.   "
942883,42531015,2015-08-14,4526413,Anthony,"This was a wonderful apartment -- clean, stylish, and in a great location in Austin, especially if you need to be around the UT campus. And Lupe was a wonderful host! I would happily stay here again!"
942883,43194616,2015-08-17,26965363,Steve,This place was perfect - Very accurately described as cozy. The place was literally a 10 minute Uber ride; not to mention all the shops right around the apt in the area. LG was also accommodating in allowing me to push my checkout time back an hour. I was very happy with my stay here and will be renting again!
942883,44371516,2015-08-25,365239,Jenny,"I enjoyed the (website hidden) was convenient to buses Though I didn't meet Lupe the communication by text was easy.  The apartment was nicely furnished with everything one would need. I highly recommend 'the birdnest""."

942883,46006124,2015-09-07,36681649,Alexi,"This gorgeous little apartment was better than advertised! Which is saying a lot. Lupe was charming, thorough, and easy to reach. The location is very central and in a good neighborhood. The place was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and charming with good A/C - aka Cozy & Pristine. I would stay here again and I highly recommend it to other individuals and couples staying in Austin."
942883,46809465,2015-09-13,150370,Patrick,Staying at Lupe's apartment was fantastic! The location was great and the rooms were extremely comfortable. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat :)
942883,47702897,2015-09-21,11401774,Paige,"Lupe's apartment was in a safe, convenient neighborhood, very close to the UT Campus. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay there again when we visit Austin"
942883,48788478,2015-09-28,43816717,Kendall,Adorable and clean apartment. We had a great stay here and would definitely stay again. Really easy if you want access to UT Austin and we found plenty of great places to eat in walking distance. Lupe was very responsive even though she was out of town and our stay went without a hitch. The highlight was the super comfortable bed!
942883,52050730,2015-10-26,261202,Manuel,"Great apartment! Good situation, close to UT! Quiet place! 
Definitely had a good time there!"
7006333,37262946,2015-07-05,15698261,Jin Ah,"Tommy was a great guy and what his condo offers was perfect for us.

The location couldn't have been better! We walked to South Congress Ave. where there are lots of good restaurants, cute shops and live music. It was great because we had thirst for culture in a walkable neighborhood. We also enjoyed the walk itself a lot as all the houses in the neighborhood had so much character and people had good vibe. You can't beat that!

As for the apartment, it was pretty clean in general. Big bonus on private bathroom. It seems as though everything was recently renovated, although some parts were dusty (I'm guessing that is just because that part of the house has not been used for a while and I am sure he will take care of it for the future). Other than that, everything was as nice as a show-room and plenty of parking spaces on site!

I booked this place only a day or two before arrival, but communicating with him was very easy. He was extremely responsive and gave instructions for getting in and out of the house in advance in a very comprehensive manner. Also, we really liked the live music place he recommended.

We loved Austin, so hopefully we will go back and stay at his place again!"
7006333,37811918,2015-07-10,25366426,Seth,"From the moment of booking to our departure, Tommy provided stellar service. He communicated quickly and clearly through text, his instructions were clear, his place is awesome. He greeted us when we arrived and had a great balance of making us feel welcome but giving us privacy as well. Thank you for letting us bunk at your place Tommy! The place was spotless and the amenities perfect.  "
7006333,38049658,2015-07-12,31462602,Kathy,"My daughter and I came to Austin on our way to New Mexico. The host could not have made us feel more comfortable. He was excellent about communicating and providing information. The condo was clean. Also, the condo was in an excellent location near South Congress. Super host - super experience."
7006333,38223290,2015-07-13,37569482,Erika,"Nice, clean one bedroom condo in SOCO. Tom had an inflatable bed for the third person in our party.  It was well located, with plenty of parking and very clean. We did not get to meet Tom because we stayed only one day and we were out most of the day and night but he was very nice and responsive to my texts. Would highly recommend it!!"
7006333,38574358,2015-07-16,21889230,Christine,"Great place. It was just as the described and as shown in the photos. Very clean and awesome location. There was no problem booking an Uber and I was downtown in 8 min. The host was very responsive and available to answer any questions.

I'd recommend this listing."
7006333,38679821,2015-07-17,38512840,Maya,"Tommy was a life saver on my cross country roadtrip! I requested to book late the night before our arrival and he responded immediately. Condo was very clean and he made us feel welcome. Even went out of his way to find a blow dryer for my friend! We only stayed one night, but would definitely stay again. Location was VERY convenient to shopping, nightlife, food, etc"
7006333,39115957,2015-07-20,38500794,Timothy,"Tommy's condo was very nice and clean. The location is great (about a  5 minute drive/$5 uber to downtown) and parking is not an issue. Apartment is also very close to Zilker and the river. Although I actually never met Tommy, he was very proactive and prompt in making sure that we had no issues arriving and or leaving. He provided a blow-up mattress free of charge, and the room also included a private bathroom. Did not have any unpleasant surprises."
7006333,39245294,2015-07-21,35340312,Amber,"My friend and I only spent a night at Tommy's place, but it really was better than what we could've expected. Absolutely perfect location, easy to get to, clean, comfortable, no weird smells, and no bugs :). Awesome place!! Tommy was very personable as well - we never met him but he was responsive to the few questions that we had, and also suggested a few things to do/see in Austin. No complaints - you won't be disappointed. "
7006333,39461305,2015-07-23,22850808,Catherine,Perfect place for a quick one-night trip to ATX. The condo was clean and comfortable; Tommy was quick to reply to questions. Great location not even five minutes from SoCo. Definitely recommend!! 
7006333,40014344,2015-07-27,28363722,Ryan,"Tommy's place was great! His place was clean and welcoming. The location is great and South Congress was within walking distance which was good because it was pretty hot when we visited. Luckily there was a pool to cool off in as well as a washer and dryer to take care of our laundry. 

Overall, this place is great and I encourage everyone to give it a try. It was everything we could have asked for."
7006333,40384032,2015-07-30,39032222,Jacob,"Tommy was there when we arrived, helpfully explained all of the place's features, and was both respectful and available whenever we needed to speak with him. He was an excellent host. 

We definitely recommend visiting Austin, and staying here is a great choice for anyone looking to do things in the downtown area. 

Thanks a ton, Tommy! "

7006333,41458035,2015-08-07,2215884,Maja,"Tommy was so incredibly welcoming! I really enjoyed my stay in his home. The apartment looks exactly like it does in the photos, it's super clean, and you have your own little nook and restroom in the place which is ultra convenient. In addition, the location of the apartment is AWESOME. Close to downtown, close to shops and restaurants on South Congress, and in a really nice peaceful neighborhood to boot.

Tommy wasn't there when I arrived, but it was super easy to find the place and easy to get in as well. Once I met him, he was awesome to talk to and amazingly helpful. I would definitely recommend staying with him to anyone!"

7006333,42163842,2015-08-11,37940221,Neal,"Tommy was great and very accommodating.  Place was clean and hard great access.  He had a key code so there was no key to lose.  

Thanks Tommy"
7006333,42431514,2015-08-13,16177398,Paula,We loved staying at Tommy's SOCO Ave house. Tommy is amazing and is the perfect host! The location of the house cannot be better with delicious restaurants walking distance away. We highly recommend booking with Tommy if you will be staying in Austin.

7006333,43801513,2015-08-22,19645994,Tony And Libby,"Tommy was a fantastic host!  His place is was very clean, neat, and spacious.  Tommy perfectly balanced the social interaction based on his guest.  He was also super accommodating.  My flight didn't arrive until past midnight, and he still made arrangements for me to get into my room.  The condo is ideally located in the heart of Austin.  Shopping, dining, entertainment - all within walking distance.

I would HIGHLY recommend this host!"
7006333,45101130,2015-08-31,37998027,Sarah,It was our first time using Airbnb and Tommy made the experience really enjoyable. If we needed anything he was accommodating and just an all-around cool guy.

The room and bathroom were clean, comfortable, and air conditioned. The location was ideal! We were able to walk to tons of great bars and restaurants on SOCO ave, and we frequently walked in to downtown easily and safely. I even did the walk alone and at night and felt very safe. Obviously, I highly recommend Tommy's place!! An awesome way to enjoy Austin!"

Tommy was really friendly and responsive, but also let us do our own thing - we actually didn't meet him until the third day we were there.  Would definitely recommend his place! "

The appartment is great, very well located near South Congress that we could reach by foot.
We can only recommend it!

I loved watching sun rise and sunset on the third floor patio, which had great views.   I loved running the trails and being so close to a fully furnished, cozy place.  The hosts were so flexible, accessible, and friendly.   We can't wait to come back here and stay again!"
4645766,37025227,2015-07-03,3770938,Amanda,"Cynthia, Peach, and Jay's quick response was such a relief when we needed to find a last minute place to stay!  The Heart House was beautiful, very clean, and equipped with nearly everything you could need to feel at home (shampoo, fresh coffee, lots of kitchen stuff if you need it, and lots of helpful information about what to do around Austin!) They've thought of everything, and do what they can to make their guests' visits comfortable, while maintaining their condo so they can keep offering it to new guests. 

If you're going to bring a pet, they do have a pet fee for extra cleaning-- I missed this initially, and only mention it here in case someone else can learn from my mistake of booking in a hurry and missing those details (I've never run into that with Airbnb before!) But not to worry, these are super hosts and they have it all figured out to make everything smooth for their guests! 

The Heart House location is great if you want to visit Zilker Park and Barton Springs pool, etc. It's all just a short walk down the hill. We enjoyed the patio and the view from the top floor, as well as the big windows in the condo. Our hosts were easy to communicate with and made it possible for us to relax on vacation even when our initial airbnb arrangements fell through. Thank you for being so accommodating!"
4645766,41672078,2015-08-08,28289791,Stephanie,Cynthia and Peach were very helpful and responsive. The place was super cute and equipped with everything we needed. And the location was ideal!
2357311,10807114,2014-03-08,8402472,Jay,The casita is tastefully decorated and has a breathtaking view of Lake Austin. Matt and his family are very welcoming and very discreet people. I'd stay again in a heart beat!
2357311,10856835,2014-03-10,12519366,Jill,"Beautiful location with gorgeous views.  Clean and quiet.  Great spot for my adult sons and me to visit.
"
2357311,11019422,2014-03-17,10815040,Chris,"We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying above Lake Austin at Matthew's rental. His apartment is seemingly brand new, and sits above his garage, detached from the main house. We never heard his family, and only saw them when we checked in. The internet was sufficient for us, as we needed fast wireless to upload video files for a TV show by deadline, as we were covering SXSW. His place is only 10 minutes from downtown, so with a vehicle, it met our needs, and exceeded our expectations. The place was spotless, the shower was luxurious, and even had the movie channels on the TV! I'll keep this apartment in mind next time I'm in Austin as a place to stay. I suggest it to any couple who loves being woken up by song birds and cool mornings!"
2357311,11157285,2014-03-23,143770,Lynne,"This is a true Austin gem!  So close to downtown with but has the tranquility of the Mt. Bonnell area overlooking the lake.  It faces west, so you get to see the sunset over the hills each night.  The house was extremely clean and the decor reminded me of a W or Westin hotel.  Nice touches like fresh fruit, coffee with all the 'fixins', and access to a washer/dryer made it even better.  So glad I stayed here, and you may see me back if I ever need an Austin staycation!"
2357311,11250829,2014-03-26,13011473,Manuel,I had an amazing stay with Matthew!! He has a beautiful property and an even more beautiful family. The views are amazing and the place is better than the pictures. Trust me it's worth it!! He even provided me with a phone charger (life saver). The place is the perfect balance of confort and privacy and thumbs up for the architect/design!! 
2357311,11362709,2014-03-31,5251010,Courtney,"On the lake with a gorgeous view, impeccably furnished, great central location, friendly hosts, good coffee with all the fixins along with some snacks and beverages, down pillows and nice mattresses...you couldn't ask for more when choosing a place in Austin. This was a terrific place to stay with my friends for several days. 

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to all the great Austin spots and who wants a relaxing, beautiful place to rest--and to enjoy the beauty of the lake.  You might even catch a huge fireworks display over the water like we did.  

A true gem."
2357311,11474187,2014-04-04,13357482,Cory,Perfect spot.  I personally did not have any request from the host because the place is so attentively designed and outfitted.  Looked forward to coming back to the space after every outing in Austin.
2357311,11594433,2014-04-08,2516720,Francesca,"Matthew and Heather were fabulous hosts. Very responsive and showed us around as soon as we arrived. They were even nice enough to leave some great toys and books for my 2 year old, which he loved. The apartment itself was beautiful with fantastic views of lake Austin/Colorado River. It was very clean and modern. We used the couch for my son,  which is much more comfortable than an ordinary pullout couch. Kitchen was stocked with bottled water and juice for my child. The appliances were more than enough for our needs.  We didn't even use the oven or burners. We would definitely stay again. It was only 10 minutes to downtown and very close to all of our friends in West Austin. Highly recommended."
2357311,12713151,2014-05-09,6134325,Elizabeth,"Shangri-La! This was simply wonderful. I highly recommend it.  Heather and Matt were so helpful, warm and had luxurious added touches. There are several interesting hikes and artistic parks within a short distance. It really doesn't get much better. Thank you for a memorable stay in one of the most desirable areas of Austin and for gracious sincere hospitality."
2357311,13031778,2014-05-18,6971104,John,"Not much interaction with host due to hectic UT graduation schedules, but Matthew was great with responding to our messages. Lovely neighborhood, modern garage apartment, and amazing views. Will definitely re-book next time in Austin!"
2357311,13440164,2014-05-27,15311844,Trisha,"This is such a beautiful, modern apartment in such a gorgeous, perfect location!   The place was spacious for the 2 of us, very clean, beautifully decorated, quiet and peaceful.  The location is perfect, just minutes from all that Austin has to offer.  While our paths never crossed with the owners, they were very responsive to all communication and made sure we had everything we needed.   Next time we visit Austin, this will be our spot!   Thanks so much, Matt!"
2357311,14016284,2014-06-10,827072,Donald,Very nice house and location. Everything was perfect. Matt was very nice with great communication.

2357311,15467627,2014-07-09,10692773,Daniel,"The perfect getaway for me and my wife. The place is fully stocked with anything you'd ever need (everything from  a vacuum cleaner,silverware, coffee machine and even a milk frothier). The view of the river is excellent. The location is great-  everything we wanted to do was a 10-15 minute drive at most. Matt was a really friendly and accommodating host and we felt totally at ease and taken care of the whole time. We'll be coming back!"
2357311,22288938,2014-11-03,15535923,Jarbas,A clean and welcoming  home. The views were inspiring  and the listing was accurate with the linnens of the best quality. The whole house was perfect and its location one of a kind. Thanks Mathew for making your home available. Having HD service was a plus .
2357311,25298045,2015-01-11,609616,William,"Matt is a fantastic host, we arrived late on Friday night and he very kindly met us and took us up to the apartment - which is LOVELY! Awesome view - even at night! Great facilities, very chic bathroom and a wonderful bed! What more could you want. Also another plus was that it's really, really easy to find.
The list description was accurate.
The nighbourhood is quiet, with an out of town feel - up on the hillside. However, it took no time at all to get downtown!"
2357311,26193846,2015-02-06,7323457,Jan,"Two of us stayed in this lovely one-bedroom with a spectacular view. All aspects of the space were comfortable and modern.  We enjoyed making use of the kitchen in our space and the washer/dryer downstairs.  The on-street parking worked out fine. Our hosts were welcoming upon our arrival, made clear they would be happy to address any need should it arise, but then allowed us complete peace and privacy in the space and grounds. Getting into and out of downtown Austin was a snap, as was visiting my sister in Hyde Park. "
2357311,26345005,2015-02-09,27284511,Farisha,"THE perfect spot to stay for a weekend trip to Austin! Matthew and his family are so welcoming and hospitable. They make you feel right at home and even made up a list of recommendations on things for us to do during our stay.

The guest house sits above the garage and is a gorgeous retreat overlooking the river. You get to enjoy the view and breeze from the balcony and also the huge windows in the living room. Everything was super clean and prepped for our stay. You have beverage options in the fridge as well as the option to brew freshly ground coffee! Check in/Check out was too easy. I can't say enough about how seamless and stress-free the experience was!"
2357311,26578057,2015-02-15,27635706,Kyle,This was our first experience with AirBNB and it could not have been better! Beautiful apartment with a breathtaking view. Matt was very generous and made his whole property available to us. Great experience! 
2357311,27599316,2015-03-08,12166125,Ben,"Incredible property. The views were as advertised, the house was well furnished and comfortable (complete with fresh coffee and a few cold Shiners), and Matt was a great host. The neighborhood is one of Austin's best. This place is really amazing and was a big factor in making our trip so great."
2357311,28768001,2015-03-29,30053661,Jeanne,"My husband and I stayed in this beautiful apartment.  Everything was in tip top shape.  The views were amazing and the apartment very comfortable.  I wish we were staying longer.  Hopefully, we will have an opportunity to stay again.  "
2357311,31839759,2015-05-10,19697735,Josh,"It was an amazing experience and a wonderful guest house. We loved the location, the accommodations, and the city. Thanks for your hospitality. "

2357311,33372349,2015-05-27,30803722,Dorothy,"This property is just as it is described in the listing. It was a great home away from home. We spent our 30th wedding anniversary and we're pleased with this first AirBnb rental. The views are terrific (rain or shine). Full kitchen with all the necessities. Host Matthew provided a few goodies to start the stay. Matthew checked in by text to assure all was well yet provided privacy. A few things worth mentioning: bed is comfortable, abundant hot water, and easy access to downtown. Most definitely will rebook. "
2357311,39086668,2015-07-20,37736249,Robert,Our stay was better than I can put into words. Ours hosts went out of their way to accommodate our needs when needs raised. What can I say about the comfort level or the view other than perfect. A value at any price but best of all the host's were priceless and I highly recommend that anyone with good taste and sense give this accommodation a try.

The views are great, the neighborhood is quiet, but is still close to everything that you might want to do in Austin. Matt was a super nice host, and would definitely look to come back here on the next adventure. "

5623752,28191135,2015-03-19,2422037,Matias,"We had a great time at SXSW and this was partly due to the great experience we had staying in the (website hidden) was the ideal host. Very friendly, welcoming, respectful, helpful... everything you could want from a host! He was always very easy to reach, whether its a question about the city or any thing else that we needed.
Our host was great !!

The apartment was fully stocked with all the necessities. Perfect location. Just 10 mins to the heart of downtown (without traffic)."
5623752,28357268,2015-03-22,29351425,Haley,"I didn't actually end up ever making it to the place as I was just super crazy busy with SXSW stuff going on. But JP was super helpful, accommodating and corteous through our communications."
5623752,43938820,2015-08-23,35435618,Brian,"Jp was great, very communicative and the place was great, it was a nice stay. A+ host and a+ place. Thanks!"

8626202,50547377,2015-10-12,33521746,Katie,"Great location! Walking distance to everything you could need! The apartment has a few funny quirks due to the age of the building, (for example my boyfriend and I are both on the tall side and the shower head is only about 5 feet off the ground) but overall we really enjoyed our stay. Comfy bed, very clean, loved the decor and the location is prime!!"
8626202,53233207,2015-11-06,34025244,Ryan,Great clean space with everything as described. I really enjoyed staying here even for just one night. Thanks Dustin for making my first AirBnb experience awesome. 
5049688,28086865,2015-03-17,27108087,Kaveh,Julian was great and his house was a perfect spot for us. Very close to downtown Austin and had plenty of room. He was accessible at all times and that made us feel comfortable. A lot of character in his place! I highly recommend staying here!
7559661,50555488,2015-10-12,45002106,Salvador,"This was my first airbnb experience and I have absolutely no complaints at all. The host was very considerate. She accommodated to my schedule and kept communication throughout the whole reservation. As for the house (CASA CORDOBA), I fell in love as soon as I walked in the door. I immediately  knew I would enjoy my weekend in Austin. It was very clean and had everything I needed. Definitely recommend it to anyone. No hassles, 100% smooth experience. Thank you Amanda :)"
7559661,52870396,2015-11-02,9442520,Brittany,"Amanda's airbnb was exactly as pictured - cozy, simple, and eclectic. The beds were comfy and it was nice to have two bathrooms to accommodate a larger group. Location wise, it was probably about 8-15 minutes from downtown by uber. 

Amanda herself was quick to respond prior to and during the trip. We had asked if we could adjust the temperature in the home the first day, and she quickly addressed the issue for us, making it cooler from wherever she was at - technology these days is so cool! 

For a simple, easy, large rental to accommodate a larger groups basic needs, Amanda's place is an affordable and great stay! Thanks Amanda!"
5152584,27077786,2015-02-24,1308515,Markeith,"Love, Love, Love this place!! My gf and I spent a weekend here and were completely at home. Mary was an incredible hostess that was easily contacted and ready to help/inform whenever needed. 

Cottage is in a very cool part of town close to many bars and restaurants. Very welcoming and warm inside complete with great little nuances that can only be completely described once you've stayed there. There was plenty of room and lit patio really added to whole feel of our trip. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back! I'd recommend staying here if you're still trying to choose :) "
5152584,27737526,2015-03-10,3331136,Matt,Mary was an amazing host. Her home was perfect and the location was ideal for our trip to Austin!
5152584,28127145,2015-03-18,10019815,Shyla,"Mary was an amazing Airbnb host - a couple of weeks before arrival she contacted us to check-in about providing insights/help.  When we arrived she shared the local hot spots (i.e. coffee, bars, restaurants) and other activities. The cottage was very comfortable and 1 block down the street is a local coffee shop and quaint, family owned breakfast/mexican food shack (on Chicon between Tillotson & College Row); best homemade food hands down!  It's the small things that count - Mary had a basket in the bathroom with amenities typically forgotten as well as a fruit basket, beer, and salsa & chips in the kitchen! We're planning on attending SXSW again next year and would love to stay again!"
5152584,28943745,2015-04-01,27801496,Tessa,"We absolutely loved our stay in Austin, Mary and Jeff were the most accomodating hosts and their recommendations as well as their lovely home really made our trip. The cottage is in the trendy east side of Austin with lots of bars, restaurants and a park all within walking distance, although we were provided with a couple of bikes which were great for getting around the city as well as good fun. I would thoroughly recommend staying here - we'd be back in a heartbeat!"
5152584,29290730,2015-04-06,27498943,Jeff,"We had a terrific experience! There were four of us, from different cities in town for a wedding. It was the first time in Austin for all of us and Mary and Jeff had a whole binder full of places for us to check out. They were also quick to recommend places they may have missed in the binder. They set us up with some fruit, granola bars, amazing coffee and delicious chips and salsa from the local Mexican market. 

If coffee is your bag, Jeff is the man to talk to. He's very knowledgeable and has good recommendations. Mary and Jeff were wonderful hosts, and the city itself is one of the best I have visited. The location is a bit out of downtown, which was honestly kind of nice. Still never waited longer than 5 minutes for an Uber to pick us up.

All in all, I would recommend Mary's cool, eclectic, vintage cottage to anyone. Great city, great house, great hosts.  "
5152584,29920207,2015-04-14,26526040,Mike,Mary was an excellent host. The house was spotless when we arrived and is every bit as inviting as it looks in the pics. She was also very accommodating of the fact that we were arriving a little earlier than the normal check in time. Mary also had great recommendations as far as things to do/places to go in the neighborhood.
5152584,30299435,2015-04-20,28648830,Ginny,"Our stay with Mary was amazing! She and Jeff were so welcoming and even had snacks and coffee ready for us. We had absolutely everything we needed and more! My friends and I were going to a wedding and especially liked the basket of extra soaps, hair items, etc. in the bathroom in case we'd forgotten anything. 

Mary was so easy to communicate with and was generous enough to allow me to have a package sent to her home for me to pick up when I arrived. 

The neighborhood was also great! A 5 minute walk to some fun bars, restaurants, and coffee shops on E. 6th street and a 5 minute uber to downtown. 

We also really enjoyed playing with Mary and Jeff's three dogs. While they'll keep them in the backyard studio (with Mary and Jeff) if you don't want to socialize, they're happy to let you say hi whenever you'd like. Great way to visit with some puppies if you don't have one of your own! "
5152584,32106277,2015-05-14,17308223,Alyssa,"Mary and Jeff were both so accomodating and warm, we felt at home right away. They really went the extra mile to ensure we felt comfortable and even offered to drive us for groceries! Their place is absolutely gorgeous and the back patio area was a lovely hang out spot. They are also very knowledgeable as to what Austin has to offer as well as in the music realm, which was so helpful! Jeff even let some of us play his father's age old guitar, such a treat! Also shoutout to their three dogs, they're so friendly and a joy to have around! Overall, I would rate our stay a 11/10, would for sure stay again. Thanks again Mary and Jeff, you are both wonderful souls. "
5152584,33230147,2015-05-26,5224893,Anna,"Jeff and Mary were fantastic hosts -- they put a lot of work into ensuring their guests have an excellent experience, and it shows. The house was tidy, comfortable, filled with eclectic treasures, and stocked with some snacks and drinks for us to enjoy that was a very nice touch. They were very welcoming and accommodating, allowing my friends with whom we were staying to check in before we arrived. Their home is lovely and was so nice to have it as a refuge from the thunderstorms and flash flooding that marked our weekend in Austin. I would definitely recommend it without reservation to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in East Austin!"
5152584,33933070,2015-06-02,28810736,Brian,"Our stay was excellent. The house itself is beautiful and situated in a charming neighborhood. It was fully stocked with all the little things you forget to pack when traveling and Mary and Jeff had left snacks and drinks for us in case we were hungry when we got in. We didn't have any issues during the stay, but did see Mary and Jeff several times through the course of the stay, so I'm confident they would have responded promptly had there been any issues. Their two dogs (we only ever saw two of the three) were a wonderful addition to the stay :)"
5152584,34417828,2015-06-08,6305367,Suzanne,"Mary and Jeff were excellent hosts. They gave clear instructions and were accessible when we had questions. We arrived in the wee hours of the morning and they were able to accommodate us. Their home is very beautiful and clean, and the area is nice and 10 mins from everything."
5152584,35971575,2015-06-23,1177862,Nicole,Mary went above and beyond! 
5152584,42038644,2015-08-10,39291228,Will,"We had a great time staying at Mary and Jeff's place in East Austin. The neighborhood is great for walking and biking, and their location proved to be a great base for exploring. Nearby are plenty of restaurants, food trucks, bars and coffee shops. Their home was very clean and comfortable. They also left some tasty snacks and beverages for our stay which was greatly appreciated. The hosts stayed in a studio in the backyard, and we were easily accessible in person or by phone if we had any questions. Would definitely stay here again in the future!"
5152584,45992532,2015-09-07,272357,Aaron And Erin,"Mary and Jeff were lovely, welcoming and generous hosts, great to talk to (they even came to the opening of my wife's art exhibit), but in no way intrusive. Their home is well outfitted (complimentary beer, coffee, chips, salsa), handsomely decorated and has a gorgeous backyard patio with nice table next to a koi pond, the perfect place to have coffee in the morning. The neighborhood is awesome -- walking distance to the heart of East Austin and steps to a great coffee shop, bagel shop, BBQ, Queen Lola's, etc. We had a great time and would highly recommend their AirBNB to anyone coming to Austin."
5152584,47661268,2015-09-21,18763967,Kayla,Mary and Jeff were amazing! Their place was the perfect location for me and my group to stay. They were extremely accommodating and wonderful host. They gave us some great Austin recommendations and even let us borrow some bikes they had-which was great to get around!
5152584,49762081,2015-10-06,14544533,Au,"Upon arrival, Mary's husband Jeff welcomed us and gave us a tour of the house. He gave us great tips on navigating Austin during ACL and suggested some fantastic places to eat. The house was exactly as pictured and although Mary was out of town at the time, was very accommodating and quick to respond to anything I needed. It was all a very pleasant experience!"
5152584,50614587,2015-10-13,12970623,Peter,"Mary has a really special home in Austin. It was absolutely perfect for our family of 5. Tons of space to stretch out and an excellent kitchen to cook in. Mary has everything you could need of you might have forgotten anything. 
I was nervous the bathroom would be small but it's actually really big and looks recently updated and finished. Worked fine for 5 people.

We kept to ourselves mostly but knew Jeff was right there if we needed him. The property is ideally set up for AirBNB, main house to stay in, backyard separates the guest house where they stay. So they are close but not instructive. We saw the dogs a couple of times. The one dog is really sweet, and would come inside on occasion. Very friendly. Didn't see much of the other 2 dogs.

The house was super cute and well decorated. My girlfriend wanted to buy all the art in the house. Made us enjoy Austin even more because we felt like we were living like locals. The house is overgrown looking from the street but don't let that bother you, it's perfect on the inside and the backyard is really cool. Got to enjoy the neighborhood, some really great restaurants right down the street. 

Internet worked awesome and there's Netflix and Xbox to watch. 

Overall, it was the absolute perfect situation for our weekend in Austin. Really made the trip to have such a cool place to stay.
Thanks so much for everything!!!"
5152584,51435427,2015-10-20,8176266,S,"Spending time with our kids, Full Metal Bracket Roller Derby, Texas Book Fest AND a great house...we could not have had a better weekend. Mary and Jeff provided a warm welcome, bicycles and dogs - what more could we ask for? They are thoughtful hosts who certainly live by ""mi casa es tu casa"". Thank you."
5152584,52840379,2015-11-02,5320807,William,"Mary was a wonderful host, and we absolutely loved her house. The location was perfect and the house itself was spacious and beautifully decorated. We had no problems communicating with Mary, and she was very helpful with suggestions for things to do and even offered to give us rides. The next time I'm in Austin I will definitely try to stay here again. Highly recommended."
5456290,46776729,2015-09-13,11104546,Melissa,"Brittney was incredibly accessible in our message exchange and responded quickly. Her apartment is just as pictured, if not cuter. Great use of space and the design touches left me impressed and inspired. It is definitely not very bright, but honestly, you spend most of the day out exploring Austin. Excellent location if doing campus visits to St Edwards. And the bed is so incredibly comfortable!"
5456290,49012447,2015-09-30,22587402,Mark,Perfect location and Brittney is a sweetheart. Great host.

664013,3390453,2013-01-21,4129975,Vincent,We loved to stay at Lata's apartment. It's very quiet and peaceful. Lara helped us with what to do in Austin. 
664013,3523681,2013-02-11,5023436,Deepak,Great place and good location. She was very easy to arrange with and very accommodating.
664013,3643622,2013-02-26,4647365,Sergio,"Our stay at Lata's charming hill country cottage was exactly that, very comfortable and the view was incredible!  I have already booked again.  Thank you Lata you were an amazing host and your home was beautiful.  See you soon!
"
664013,3680865,2013-03-03,5238497,Amy,"Lata was a wonderful hostess and her home is beautiful and peaceful.  My stay was relaxing and quiet and Lata gave me privacy.  This is my first experience on airbnb and I was worried about what to expect.  With Lata, I had nothing to worry about - she was great! "
664013,3820678,2013-03-18,1710956,Alfred,"The stay at Lata's apartment was exactly as described -- charming quiet, and comfortable.  About the only issue was that the bathroom was downstairs,but that was no big deal at all.   I would definitely request this stay again, if I need to be local in west Austin."
664013,3891971,2013-03-25,4647365,Sergio,"Once again an amazing stay.  Lata is a wonderful host, and her home is the perfect get away.  Thank You Lata.  See you Soon."
664013,3956595,2013-03-30,856589,Tom,"Lata's cottage provided the short respite that I was looking for outside of central Austin.  It was tucked away far enough to seem somewhat remote and yet close enough to the usual conveniences to make it practical.  It's a very nice cottage that is both minimal and yet well decorated and appointed with kitchen, lounge/tv areas and decks.  The deck is a good place to relax and enjoy the view of the greenery and trees in valley behind the cottage. Lata was helpful in providing directions and information about this part of town. "
664013,4088709,2013-04-08,4647365,Sergio,This is our third visit with Lata and as usual we had an awesome time.  We will be back soon.
664013,4547210,2013-05-12,5538203,Ashild Telise,"I spent 3 weeks in Lata's cute Hill Side cottage, and enjoyed every day.  Lata was the best of hosts anyone could ask for, helped me find my way around the town and even introduced me to some of her friends.  The outside areas are wonderful and quiet, even with deer gracing in the front yard. Short walk down to Lake Austin, which is really a big river. 
Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a very nice place and a GREAT hostess! "
664013,4697454,2013-05-20,6439332,Sandra,"I had a soooo lovely + relaxed weekend with Lata at her Cottage :-) She gave me some good recommendations for Austin, what to see, where to go out to dance... or simply sitting outside together with Wine and watching the Fireflys...perfect!
Thank you and hope to visit you soon again!
Kisses from Spain,
Sandra"
664013,5031170,2013-06-08,4647365,Sergio,Lata has and will be a wonderful host with her wonderful beautiful house by the river within walking and exercising distance. Sitting out the upper patio deck.....wild life incredible to see. I have been several times in the past year and enjoy the beauty of the place.
664013,5089959,2013-06-11,4647365,Sergio,As usual an amazing weekend.  Thank you for your kindness.  We will see you soon.

664013,5645985,2013-07-09,1362077,Chris,"Lata's house is beautiful, quiet, and clean, and she was an excellent host. The lake is a few minute's walk from her house and we spent all day swimming and laying around in the sun. Couldn't have been a more relaxing place to end our vacation. The views from her upstairs deck are incredible. Lata herself was very accommodating and easy-going. Easily one of the best AirBnB experiences we've had. "
664013,6449358,2013-08-12,2651543,Jennifer,"We had a great stay at Lata's. we book the room for one night, it was really clean, we had our private bathroom and Lata make sure that we felt like we're at home. The communication was great. We ll come back for our next journey at lake travis !"
664013,6549712,2013-08-16,8092858,Charles,"Fantastic, wonderful, amazing, good sleep, perfect location, and best of all the hostess is as gracious as they come…
My experience in this space was everything I expected and more. Highly recommend."
664013,7179116,2013-09-09,7416688,Linnea,"Had a lovely stay with Lata. Was optimal to experience Austin during hot hot days at this location, in the mountains, close to the river with deer all around. Clean and pleasant place. Lata was very accomodating! "
664013,7387221,2013-09-17,8822995,Jake,"My wife and I recently stayed at Lata's country cottage. It was a very enjoyable experience. Everything was exactly as advertised. The view from the upstairs patio was beautiful. She was a very generous host, giving us full access to her kitchen when we wanted to cook our dinner. I would highly recommend staying at this home."
664013,7475488,2013-09-21,6006331,Arch,"I had a very warm and comfortable stay at Lata's. Although I was there only for a night, it felt wonderful chatting and connecting with her. She was very caring and also helpful with pointers on where to go/what to see in Austin. She has a beautiful house in the middle of wilderness with awesome views. I would strongly recommend her place to any one!"
664013,7956871,2013-10-09,1359115,Fiona,"Lata is a gracious host and her place was just what we were looking for: beautiful surroundings, relaxing on the deck and enjoying the forest and its inhabitants like deer, birds and rabbits. We loved Austin and if you want to check it out and have car, we absolutely recommend Lata's place! Thanks again Lata, we had a great and relaxing time!"
664013,8033851,2013-10-13,1766823,Tony,"Lata's compact, simple, open floor plan house is a lovely, quiet retreat overlooking a wooded slope in the Hill Country 25 minutes west of Austin. Very clean and restful, I had the whole downstairs, plus an upstairs room and deck to myself for most of my stay. There's also a full bathtub, plus a shaded table and chairs in the yard for relaxing. Though there were plenty of houses nearby, crickets and birds were the only neighbors I heard. A great spot for peace and quiet.   "
664013,8260082,2013-10-22,9073585,Fredrik,As a first time user of Airbnb... My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at Lata's... She is very accommodating and we found the house to be very charming and quiet. It was for us a very convenient option as it was near the Tennis facility we came here for. Highly recommended... we loved the deers in the backyard and the cricket sounds at night!
664013,8320824,2013-10-25,2812295,Summer,"I had a good 5 night stay. The house is comfortable and the neighborhood is mostly quiet.  It was nice to have a private bathroom,  although it was downstairs which could be a little tricky in the middle of the night.  Lata was quiet and accommodating.  The room was good enough. If you are a light sleeper like I am keep earplugs on hand for the occasional barking dogs and the bathroom  right next door. Otherwise nice kitchen, decks, comfortable living room and great photo ops for the roaming deer families. Recommended."
664013,9764999,2014-01-08,9446061,Daniel,"Lata's place was as beautifully simple and tasteful in person as in the photos. I was attracted by the minimalist style in the photos and it didn't disappoint. She has great taste in fabric and pottery. I too found that Lata left me wonderful amounts of privacy in her home. She works long hours and likes her alone time when she gets home. We hit it off nicely, though, and ended up having some great conversations. The futon was quite comfortable; I loved the upper deck; and she didn't mind when I spread my papers out on her living room coffee table one day. Down the hill is a lovely lake; if I had had my kayak with me, I think I could have launched off into it. It's nicely distant from the city, but an easy drive in. Many bicycles on the road, actually. Probably a good place for bicyclists to stay. I got a little turned around in the dark on the first night getting there, but googlemaps got me through. I would love to stay here again."
664013,10808869,2014-03-08,4242570,Travis,"My stay couldn't have been better. Very cute house tucked up in a quiet and beautiful location. I woke up to deer in a beautiful wooded yard. Lata was also very professional and prompt in her communication. Our paths never crossed, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet her, but she was very attentive to make sure I had everything I needed."
664013,10817351,2014-03-09,7892516,Tibor & Susan,"I had a very warm and comfortable stay at Lata's. Although I was there only for a night, it felt like home. Very cute house tucked up in a quiet and beautiful location where I even saw deer early in the morning.  She was very caring and professional.  I even saw deer early in the morning. I would recommend her place to any one! "
664013,10979888,2014-03-16,11687734,Suleman,"I had a very nice stay at Lata's. She is a very nice person, easy going, cultured and I had great conversations her. Her home, its location are very beautiful, much like her personality. Its in a quiet neigbhourhood, birds chirping and with deer in the area. I saw some on 3 occasions, during my week's stay. It felt like home away from home.

Thanks Lata, your kindnesses are truly appreciated. I wish you all the best in life."
664013,11140979,2014-03-22,1609337,Chris,"Lata's cottage is located and tucked away in a very quiet location near Lake Travis. And for travelers who want a 30 minute commute to 183 and 35 it's perfect. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend staying with Lata anytime. She is a pleasant owner and generous with her home. 
"
664013,11251336,2014-03-26,2160407,Beau,"Had an amazing try to Austin. Lara's private oasis in the hills west of Austin was ideal.  Amazing views, very Zen and useful space, the outdoor rock path down the hill behind the house was a good morning workout and the house was inviting. Though we didn't cross paths, and I hope I didn't wake her coming in late from a concert, Lata was a great host.  Would stay again and wish we could have met bc she seems like a very interesting person. "
664013,11487432,2014-04-05,12459343,Elizabeth,"We really enjoyed our stay at this private home. Lata is very nice and went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. Nothing fancy here, but a nice change from hotels along the freeway. We especially enjoyed batting up early and sitting on the upper deck to watch the sunrise and listen to the birds. "
664013,11554808,2014-04-07,13246393,Paul,"Even with the great pictures, I was surprised by how much I liked the house.  Lata was accommodating, even though I arrived while she was out of the house and came back from a wedding fairly late.  I would be happy to stay here again. "
664013,11752124,2014-04-14,13008927,David,"Lata was friendly, professional, and accommodating. We shared dinner our first night, and she was a pleasure to talk with. We felt we had excellent privacy throughout our stay. She was flexible around check-in/check-out times, which was a big help. The pictures you see are accurate, but we would say they don't do her house justice. It is homey, neat, and completely relaxed. The deck was our favorite spot to hang out, and perfect for morning coffee. 10/10, highly recommend! "
664013,11980538,2014-04-20,9469398,Anette,"Me, my husband and child (3 years) stayed in Latas house for one night. It was a great experience.  Lata was really friendly and we let us use the house as we wanted to. The location of the house is amazing! We dank the morning coffee at the balcony listening to the birds singing and enjoying the beautiful view. I would definitely go back if we´re visiting Austin again."
664013,12230663,2014-04-26,6039300,Peter,"Perfect Stay!  Lata is a perfect host!  She is very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgable about the area.  Her home is quiet, comfortable, & VERY clean!  Don't miss the amazing view from the upstairs balcony!  Thank You Lata!  :)"
664013,12295674,2014-04-28,11343980,Ingrid,"Communication with Lata was great, everything was how she said it would be. We never actually crossed paths, but all went smoothly! "
664013,13058085,2014-05-18,13284355,Jason & Tisha,"Although we never got to meet Lata, our stay went smoothly.  Her place was very nice."
664013,13697013,2014-06-02,15520929,Brittney,"A friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Lata's home.  The home was very clean and organized, with a great seating area outside to enjoy.  It was in a quaint and quiet neighborhood.  Lata was very easy to coordinate with when it came to making plans, along with being a very friendly and a wonderful host.  I would highly recommend staying here!"
664013,13996528,2014-06-09,1805702,Greg,"My father stayed at Lata's place when he visited us recently. We live in the same neighborhood, so her place was super convenient. When I went over to get the keys for him Lata greeted me at the door with a smile and showed me around. She has a lovely place near the Lake Hills Community Association beach and park. It's cozy and comfortable, and my father had a very pleasant stay. Lata does in fact work most days from early in the morning to late at night, so although you are sharing some common space with here, you're unlikely to be inconvenienced by this. I highly recommend Lata's place. For the price, it cannot be beat!"
664013,21772777,2014-10-23,21971680,Tony,Lata was very accommodating. Location worked great for my needs. Simple and relaxing. I enjoyed seeing the 2 Deer in the front yard in the morning. Thanks! 
664013,22303290,2014-11-03,21537300,Bronwyn,"Lata was a great hostess from the beginning...made sure to explain everything well whether it was via text or just talking to her.  The location was a quiet great place to be vs the hustling city.  It's not far from downtown, and not far from other outdoor activities such as trails/springs on the outskirts of the city.  I'm sure it's difficult opening up your home to strangers, but equally hard trying to find a trusting hostess.  We definitely trusted her.  
The bed is a futon, just perfect enough for 2 people.  We also did come in late a few nights and were concerned we would disturb her...she told us not to worry about that and we wouldn't bother her.  From the arrival to the end, everything was great. I would highly recommend staying at Lata's...the deer right outside the front door always walking around were a plus, too!"
664013,22563270,2014-11-09,23168184,Kurt,"Absolutely gorgeous location, beautiful views and amazing space. Lata was very welcoming, and accommodating to our schedule. Coffee in the porch with stunning views, deer at the doorstep and a lake a short walk down the road. We highly recommend this stay to anyone looking to get away.  "
664013,22937565,2014-11-17,65312,David,"Clean, comfortable cottage in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of character.  Lata was a gracious host; offered good coffee in the morning and provided extra linens and pillows.  Morning walk down the hill and around the lake was a perfect start to the day.  Highly recommend!"
664013,23015669,2014-11-20,14427171,Philipp,Lata is a friendly host and her home is located in a great neighborhood close to the lake. Sitting on the patio enjoying the sun was a pleasure. 
664013,23776785,2014-12-09,972056,Bernino,Great and nice place!
664013,24987677,2015-01-04,16399737,Charlie,Lata was an excellent host for us in Austin. Her house is extremely comforting and she was very welcoming. She is very quiet and let us use the house however we liked. I would stay with Lata in the future.
664013,26080247,2015-02-02,7103843,Amie,"Lata's home was clean, warm, and welcoming. Deer freely wander outside the house. Everything was as described. Thanks Lata!"
664013,26614614,2015-02-16,5836826,Courtney,"Lata was home most of the time we were home, but made sure to stay out of our way (note: we didn't ask her to!) Yet she was very friendly and always available to answer questions. 

My boyfriend and I loved sipping wine and coffee out on Lata's second-story porch. The view it offers is amazing. 

We will definitely consider booking with Lata in the future."
664013,27751203,2015-03-10,28889915,Peyton,Lata was a wonderful hostess and we were lucky enough to visit her shop during our stay. Her home was just as described and was in an absolutely gorgeous area! We loved seeing the deer in the morning. My boyfriend and I cannot wait to go back! Highly recommended!
664013,28120985,2015-03-18,215281,David,"Yes, the pictures are real! This is a great peaceful spot just up the hillside from the lake (walkable for a swim). Lata was really helpful and communicated well leading up to the booking. The house and my room were clean, basic and simply furnished and that's how I like it. Lata's instructions on how to get to her place were perfect."
664013,28214321,2015-03-20,27941391,Emma,"Lata's house is absolutely beautiful,  extremely clean and very relaxing. We had a perfect stay."
664013,28482449,2015-03-24,11016806,Stephanie,"Lata has an amazingly beautiful house, comfortable and nicely decorated, and so green all around! The balcony is exactly as pretty as in the photos. We enjoyed a glass of wine there in the evening, listening to the creek behind the house, and had a sunny breakfast there the next morning. I am particularly grateful that Lata received us so graciously despite our late arrival at her house in the evening. The location is easy distance to Austin or the Hill Country, but you do need a car to get there. "
664013,28832094,2015-03-30,199767,Susan,Lata was quick in her responses and clear in her communication.  Checking in and out was easy.  The cottage is in a quiet residential neighborhood in the woods about a 25 min drive outside of downtown Austin. The cottage is cozy and airy with plenty of balcony space to lounge on that overlooks a small wooded ravine. The room is bright and the futon bed is comfortable.  It was a great place to stay to both explore Austin and the Hill Country.
664013,29080067,2015-04-03,8167906,Michael,"Lata was welcoming and the cottage is a nice location if you want that 'wilderness' feeling - plenty of woods and deer around.

The room is stark in regard to design with just a futon, shelves and a lamp, and there is a skylight over the futon so the sun will be 'in your face' in the morning ;)

Overall it's a good value for the price."
664013,30337550,2015-04-20,16397659,Royce,The home was exactly what I expected. We had the opportunity to eat dinner with Lata one evening which was great! She does stay completely out of your way and privacy isn't an issue at all. I would absolutely stay with Lata again!
664013,30877297,2015-04-28,29644309,Selina,Lata was quick to respond to my messages and the most hospitable person I ever met! The house was quaint and comfortable. I really enjoyed the quiet area that the house was located in. Beautiful area of Austin!
664013,31395244,2015-05-04,11092241,Melisa,"Lata is welcoming and respectful; her home was exactly as pictured: green and serene.  Perfect place to unwind and relax.  Nice touches include separate bins for trash, recycling, and compost, as well as appliances unplugged when not in use to be energy-conscious.  "
664013,32017988,2015-05-12,22330307,Lucas,Absolutely amazing view from the patio. Owner stays in great contact with customers. Will for sure stay up at her place again next time I'm in the Austin area. Nice relaxing getaway from everything in a peaceful area. 
664013,33041467,2015-05-24,33688502,Casey,Lata made us feel very comfortable and there were no problems at all. It is a nice cottage in an amazing location. We had privacy the whole time. It is definitely worth the trip. 
664013,33857814,2015-06-01,25749392,Yazmeen,Lata made us feel very welcome and the neighborhood was very peaceful with a lot of wildlife surrounding us. She was so welcoming and showed us everything around the house that we could hang out at. Her deck was amazing and so peaceful so we hung out on there early one morning to watch the sun rise. It was a warm night and she was also very accommodating and offered to turn the AC on for us that evening. She also provided toiletries and towels which was helpful. She got our futon bed ready for our arrival.  
664013,33962402,2015-06-02,18147839,Earl,Lata was very accomadating and friendly. Her home was perfect for a quiet stay in a a great atmosphere. We pulled up to a dear hanging out in her front yard no more than 20ft from us. We counted 6 on her street alone. Having a drink on the balcony overlooking Austin is a must. I would've loved to spend more time here if we didnt have to keep trecking on our roadtrip.
664013,35339275,2015-06-17,2721355,Matt,Staying with Lata was great. The neighborhood was nice and I definitely felt welcome. I would stay with her again.
664013,38077131,2015-07-12,36938291,Gillian,"I absolutely loved Lata's neighbourhood and her home. The lake is absolutely beautiful and the neighbours were friendly. Lata was very accommodating, communication was excellent. I got the opportunity to meet her and she was very helpful, conversational without being overly chatty. The view from her cottage was absolutely gorgeous. Although it is not extremely far from downtown you feel as if you are leagues away. I would definitely recommend her listing and will surely come visit again."
664013,40295937,2015-07-29,5973035,Bassem,"Loved the windy mountain road up to Lata's place, where it was nestled on a hill with a deck on the second level overlooking the green Hillcountry. 
Just what I had in mind. "
664013,43060168,2015-08-17,35812077,Danyce,Lata is a wonderful hostess.  She is very relaxed and my boyfriend and I had a lovely stay in this easygoing neighborhood.  Lata is welcoming and we would stay there again.  We found Lata to be accomadating with an appropriate notice of course.
664013,45340159,2015-09-01,7571768,Anna Maria And Matthias,"This was definitely one of the best locations that we have experienced with Airbnb. Lata's house is simply amazing! We really enjoyed the view from her balcony! The surroundings are so peaceful but nevertheless you can reach Austin easily. It's a perfect mix of both! Lata was a great host and made us feel very welcome in her home. If we ever come into the Austin area again, we would definitely stay at her place again."
664013,49625300,2015-10-05,20989509,Roger,Great house for our stay and all was as described. Easy access to Austin and surrounding area.
664013,50603611,2015-10-12,46170027,Emmie,Lata was a fantastic host and the setting was perfect for a restful stay. Myself and my travel partner greatly appreciated the comfort and beautiful surrounding landscape. I'd highly recommend staying here if you fancy staying outside of central Austin. 
664013,51290122,2015-10-19,8747778,Lauren,My stay with Lata was just lovely. She was so helpful and always available if I had any questions or concerns. I loved the area of town in which the home was situated. It was just close enough to the city for daily jaunts and just far away enough to feel like I was in a different part of the state. There were deer that came onto the property frequently and you could hear coyotes howling at night. I LOVED IT.
664013,52737217,2015-11-01,41210298,Susan,Lata is a wonderful host- she respects your privacy- she is there if you need anything but is not in your way at all. The neighborhood is one I am very familiar with and love it because it's quiet and the deer roam outside- if you like peace you will love it- then it is only 9 miles from downtown and 5 miles to One World Theater
6301560,37265941,2015-07-05,36269217,Christian,"The house was clean and in a really nice area. Easy access to 6th street, about 7 minute walking.
Darren and Carrie was very helpful and gave us all information we needed. 
"
6301560,38243925,2015-07-13,2708426,Ashley,Everything about this place is amazing! We needed a place last minute and Carrie set us up even though she wasn't going to be there. Her friend checked us in and was extremely welcoming. Less than a $10 cab ride to downtown. Walking distance to Bacon for an amazing chicken-n-waffles breakfast. Very safe area and the house itself is full of charm! Would definitely stay here anytime I'm in Austin. 
6301560,38674539,2015-07-17,16967073,Krystal,This was an awesome first Airbnb experience. The place has all of the funkiness and uniqueness that one would expect and want from an Austin place while also being comfortable and a place that makes you feel like home. I loved it!
6301560,38963741,2015-07-19,9089081,Juliette,Beautiful apartment at a great location. Darren was very friendly and made us feel at home. Also gave us some good tips about the city. We will definitely recommend this place to everyone! 
6301560,39107416,2015-07-20,38350307,Archita,"I had a fantastic stay here! Carrie was super attentive and helpful in advance of my arrival. When I got there, the room and apartment was very clean and you can't beat the location. I would definitely recommend!"
6301560,39887234,2015-07-26,21654273,Michael,"While Carrie was not there personally to welcome me, the other house member was very informative and helpful to my stay. He showed us around and was insightful on options to visit around the area. "
6301560,41171051,2015-08-04,40030109,Sam,Carrie was out of the country traveling when we stayed here but Darren was an incredibly welcoming and kind host. We were stopping through on a cross-country road trip and were late to check in and out but Darren generously moved things around to accommodate us. This place really has the best of both worlds regarding location and comfort. We loved being able to go to the turf field or huge park and workout and come back to a place with A/C and an awesome bathroom to shower off and relax. We really enjoyed the coffee shops in the are as well. Coffee shops and cool places to eat are all within walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!
6301560,41294546,2015-08-05,23269558,Precious,Great stay. Loved the apartment super close to restaurants and bars!
6301560,41836420,2015-08-09,13871898,Feng,"Place and Host: Stayed here with my sister (I would pick the queen bed next time, but I was being frugal). Nice house and neat artist decor. Your own room has a lock, and there's a lockbox that allows you to quickly pop in to get your stuff post check-out. Host was very nice, available by text, and willing to tell you about stuff around town. Also, if you're new to Uber or Lyft, make sure to use host's discounts.

Neighborhood: Close to State Capitol. Uber everywhere else (which you can't prevent no matter where you Airbnb unless you pick a place within the downtown areas, and the Ubers are no more than ~$5). 

Cons: Not much in terms of cons. If you want privacy, you may want to Airbnb a whole place. 1 bathroom is shared between the two rooms. Tap water tastes kind of funny, but that might be me / an Austin thing. The bathtub could use a professional deep scrub since lots of people stay there. Thermostat could be more modern, and currently one controls the whole downstairs (I imagine both bedrooms are controlled by one). Shared thermostat might create a tug of war, but I had no such issues when we stayed here.

Tips: if coming in the summer, close the curtains before leaving to keep room cool for when you return. "
6301560,43342421,2015-08-18,6064921,Drew,"Like other reviewers I never met Carrie, which to be honest leaves me questioning this but it was fine regardless. Darren was nice and responsive and also gave some advice. I have to say I was thrown by having now doorbell etc but overall the place was clean and nice and very affordable. There are boudoir photos around (of women) and given that I only saw a Darren there I had mixed feelings about that. Also a heads up there are some references to Christianity around. While I hate to generalize and realize the trouble of doing so, my immediate reaction as a queer with another queer traveling around Texas (one of us from Texas and the other from a rural area elsewhere) was being very on edge, but it didn't seem to be an issue. The location was convenient especially for the price (which was great) and it makes a convenient place to stay on a budget. "
6301560,43526802,2015-08-20,37060916,Lena,It was really a nice stay. We came earlier it was absolutely no problem. It was very clean and comfortable. :)
6301560,43686272,2015-08-21,34578714,Kira,"We didn't meet Carrie, but her friend Darren was there to check us in. He was very nice and gave us recommendations for things to do and see around Austin. The room was very clean and the decor was beautiful and interesting. There were other AirBnB guests in the apartment, but we never saw them. We shared a bathroom with one other guest but it wasn't a problem. We'd stay again! Thanks!"
6301560,44175567,2015-08-24,39920646,Carmen,We had a great time! The accommodations were fantastic! The home was spotless and very comfortable. I highly recommend staying in Carrie's home.
6301560,45271984,2015-09-01,38621709,Grace,Cute room in a great part of town. The room was roomy and the kitchen and bathroom were modern and nice. Location and price can't be beat. Carrie was very nice and quick to respond and Darren was very polite and accommodating. I would recommend the room to anyone.
6301560,45396876,2015-09-02,22173782,Kate,"Darren was our point of contact as Carrie was out of town. Although we didn't get to meet him, he was very easy to get in touch with by text/phone when we needed help. We loved the room. It was very cozy, convenient location, and well-decorated. Would definitely recommend."
6301560,45853692,2015-09-06,6447848,Steven,"It was a wonderful, easy process to stay at your place. "
6301560,46356798,2015-09-09,43129440,Lia,"I stayed for one night, quiet neighbourhood, close to HOPE gallery, exactly as in the description, didn´t  met Carrie but she´s really nice and answered very fast. Thanks for the hospitality!

Very recommended. "
6301560,46496944,2015-09-11,31713471,Phebelyn,"The location is great. Accessible to many shops and you can just walk to the famous Capitol Bldg and  the 6th street that is famous for night life. You have your own key so no issue on coming in and out. However, the room I chose have the bed that is noisy when you move maybe because of the type of wood it was made of but it's kinda annoying. The curtain in the bathroom was a see-through that you can easily be seen from outside, that needs an improvement. Also you share the bathroom with other people so it depends if the tenant will properly use it but it seems it is being cleaned up everyday. Aside from that no issue as you can do things in the kitchen though I did not use it."
6301560,46930358,2015-09-14,4722840,Lars,"Great appartment, nice host and good location! "
6301560,47221211,2015-09-16,10808112,Chevy,"This place was perfect for me. 10min walk to where I needed to be. Great location near restaurants, bars and Whole Foods. Darren was very responsive. I would highly recommend staying here!"
6301560,47477111,2015-09-19,29184544,Christy,Nice comfortable room and friendly host. Convenient location. 
6301560,47526751,2015-09-20,42775874,Astrid,I enjoyed my stay! Thank you!!
6301560,47973898,2015-09-22,18982617,Janessa,The place was nice and close to everything. The host gave us lots of tips of places to go. Nothing to complain about.
6301560,49108850,2015-10-01,19234419,Alison,Loved my time spent in this super cute house. My room was all clean and ready with a name card for me on the door. Location was perfect. Close to everything by far enough to be quiet and peaceful. Darren was super helpful with tips of fun places to go and where to avoid the tourist traps. I loved Austin and can't wait to go back. 
6301560,49334529,2015-10-03,3932905,Mary,"Wonderful place! Easy walk to downtown. Darren had great suggestions for things to do, and was always easy to get a hold of!"
6301560,50628637,2015-10-13,35613326,Johnna,"Great location, super great communication, clean place, and info about Austin provided to guest. Super unique experience. "
6301560,50851374,2015-10-15,40528304,Vince,"I checked in a little late but Darren was understanding and cordial. He made me feel right at home. The room (and house) is beautiful and full of character. A great kitchen at my disposal and modern bathroom, I don't know why anyone would stay in a hotel after seeing this place. Thanks for having me, it was delightful. I'll be back!"
6301560,52386276,2015-10-28,20669252,Mark,Fantastic venue.... Very handy location and easy going hosts
6301560,52468599,2015-10-29,45827213,Rich,Great location with private room. 
6301560,52850912,2015-11-02,1985095,Steve,"Although Carrie was out of town when I stayed in Austin, she was super organised and approachable in the leadup to my stay, and Darren was really helpful and friendly when we arrived in Austin. The room was comfy and spacious, and the kitchen and bathroom were neat and clean and we were able to use whatever we needed. The location is absolutely fantastic: only 6 blocks from the famous 6th Street, and a really easy (and beautiful) stroll into the main Downtown area. Even though the other spare room was in use by another AirBnBer, it was always quiet, and most of the time it felt like we had the place to ourselves. The cleanliness, the location, and the friendliness of the hosts all make this place a fantastic stay in a fantastic city!"
4629023,26327461,2015-02-09,15392692,Norbert,"This place was so nice, so close to the east 6th street bars and food. very nice and modern design. we had not really planned on using the place to much (just sleep shower and leave) but was so nice we spent a lot of time just hanging around here, ordered food and just lounged around and watched tv. "
4629023,48758339,2015-09-28,34057695,Celia,"This property worked well for my group of friends while we were in Austin for a bachelorette party. I appreciate that Erica and company were very quick to respond to any question or concern, however, some details with the property could use fixing/updating. The lockpad on the front gate was broken and we had to stick our hand through the fence to get in and we were given the wrong code for the front door. When we called to say that one of the toilets was broken, a plumber was sent but he told us nothing was wrong with it (it still didn't work...but since there was another bathroom we just let it be). All in all, the house is well situated and sleeps a big group of people if you don't mind futons and sharing space. It is perfect for a close group of friends, but could use some touchups. 
"
4629023,51287921,2015-10-19,31308047,Sharon,"The house was clean and comfortable with ample space for our group of seven. There were enough blankets and towels for all of us, and the shower was the best I've ever had in my life (we all agreed on that). The location in East Austin is about a 15 minute drive to/from the airport, super close to 6th street, and a quick drive to South Congress. We rented a couple cars to get around town and found parking in front of the house to be super easy. The AirBnB is run by TurnKey Rentals and they were very helpful, particularly when we had some trouble with the door code. They also offered us a complimentary late checkout which was much appreciated on a Sunday morning! Overall, this house was a great value for the price, and I would definitely stay here again."
8514928,49708497,2015-10-05,41950582,Roxanne,Great place enjoyed our visit.  Valerie had great communication with us before and during stay.  Very accommodating.  Highly recommend host. 
8514928,49866089,2015-10-06,41950582,Roxanne,Great host highly recommend.  Nice having private entrance 
8514928,50356439,2015-10-11,45089864,Alexandria,The Hootenanny House was a great stay! There was enough room for me and guests. The neighborhood was very quiet and very close to the downtown area. Valerie is fast at checking in both before and during the trip. I would recommend this stay to anyone planning a trip in Austin! 
345536,1204693,2012-04-30,2191005,Danese,"We loved this house, its location, and Gretchen!  The house is really sweet and feels homey and comfortable.  The front porch is a treat in the afternoons (I sat and played music for an hour in the hammock chair, Heaven!).  The neighborhood is up and comming, with several cool places to eat, shop within easy walking distance.  The beds were comfortable and the whole place clean and neat.  We will definitely stay here again."
345536,1671585,2012-07-09,1820492,Chris,"Gretchen was amazingly accommodating after our initial reservation with Brian C fell through the day before we arrived (he had double-booked). Instead of being a catastrophe, though, it turned out to be great fortune--Gretchen replied quickly, was unbelievably hospitable, the place was fantastic, and in general she made the entire stay one of the best travel experiences ever. Highly, highly recommend!"
345536,1841961,2012-07-30,2838905,Jen,"We scheduled a weekend get-away to Austin and found everything and more we were hoping for at Gretchen's Bouldin area home.  Traveling from Dallas, we wanted to be able to relax, be close to area attractions, and have a safe, comfortable place for our dog, Riley.

From our first few minutes in Austin, Gretchen was nothing but the perfect host for our weekend trip.  I would strongly encourage anyone looking for a place in Austin to consider Gretchen's home.  We will certainly return and will always value the opportunity to visit Austin and see Gretchen."
345536,2536704,2012-10-08,3121055,Scott,"I cant imagine staying anywhere better than this. The house was great.  It was really clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Gretchen was super nice and accommodating. The location was perfect, close to downtown and other hip surrounding neighborhoods.  we had plenty of privacy and could hang out on that awesome porch listening to music all night without disturbing anybody.  If you're looking for a great spot to hang out with lots of space and no hassle, then this is it. "
345536,2793273,2012-11-03,3073956,Danny,"Gretchen and her house were a perfect base for our adventures in Austin.  She checked in with us often enough to make sure our needs were met, yet all the while leaving us plenty of privacy and space.  The house was clean, the beds and linens were all very clean and comfortable. The house felt secure, parking in the driveway was easy and it was quiet at night.  We cooked a few meals in the user friendly kitchen and enjoyed them as a group outside on the porch, which was one of our favorite things. The porch is fabulous.  There are great rockers hammocks and papasan chairs, its all illuminated with little twinkle lights and with wired speakers to the outside, you can relax  and listen to tunes with friends. And if you're lucky, little Betty, the little Boston Terrier, might drop in for some affection. "
345536,2926394,2012-11-20,3504609,Keith,"Gretchen's home is a wonderful place to stay, it was very clean, and well equipped. I would have been happy just to have stayed on her wonderful porch for the whole time that I was there.
The neighborhood is great, and very close to downtown.
We walked to restaurants, and the small grocery store, that is only a few blocks away.
The overall feel is that you are staying in a really cool, and good friends home. It has a great artsy feel to it, and lots of great music to listen to.
Thank's Gretchen, 
I look forward to staying in your home for next years F1 race as well.
Keith"
345536,3585758,2013-02-19,177296,Elenore,"I've used Airbnb a lot and Gretchen's place is one of the most amazing places I've found. After spending two full weeks there working with my dad on a photo shoot, I cannot recommend her home enough. It's in a quiet area but very close to the best part of Austin. Gretchen herself is warm and welcoming beyond words, she graciously let us have a (pretty loud) party on the porch one night and stopped by a couple times to see if we needed anything. Her dogs are great as well, i loved having them around. And the house itself is the epitome of quirky Austin spirit, cozy and comfortable and so full of personality. We ended up using it as a location for several shoots because the decor was just that cool. Next time i'm in austin I will definitely be back. Thank you again Gretchen! "
345536,4456687,2013-05-06,2286932,Sitar,"Gretchen's home is an absolute gem! We rented both the main house and the back cottage for a close college friend's wedding. The houses are clean, warm and inviting. They are super colorful with lots of found art that has been fixed up to give it some real Austin charm. On a Saturday evening, we sat out on her porch until the we hours of the morning, enjoying great conversation and the warm Austin night. In the morning we woke up to all kinds of birds chirping - the Austin grackle is infamous!
You will not be disappointed in Gretchen's house!"
345536,4821249,2013-05-27,6453404,Daniel,"If you stay in Gretchen's house, you'll be getting an awesome Austin experience. It's super clean, spacious, comfortable and filled with wonderful art, books and music. But my family and I thought the best part was meeting and talking with Gretchen. She's amazingly hospitable and a great storyteller. She knows Austin like no hotel concierge ever could and gave us some great insider tips on what to do and see in the city. We didn't feel like we were renting from a complete stranger. We felt like we were staying with a good friend."
345536,5367410,2013-06-26,6662152,Joshua,"Gretchen is super accommodating! She has an awesome house in an awesome neighborhood in Austin. The stay could not have gone better. Hanging out at night was definitely a ton of fun! If you are looking for a place that is clean, well kept and convenient to the entire area, This is it! "
345536,5588329,2013-07-07,7034322,Summer,"Gretchen's home is awesome!  It is the quintessential Austin experience.  The porch was amazing and we all found our ""power spots"" to lounge.  There were 4 of us staying there and it was more than spacious enough.  The house was very clean and had everything we needed.  I wish we had more time just to spend hanging out at the house.  Gretchen was great about keeping in contact for anything we needed or any questions.  I would recommend this house to anyone, without reservation, and we will definitely stay here again!"
345536,6286114,2013-08-06,7505717,Kelly,"Gretchen's home was a perfect venue for my introduction to Austin and she was a very accommodating host. The colorful palette and art within the house and playful porch made it difficult to venture beyond the farm fence boundaries. The home was well represented on airbnb in the photos. Even better, actually, in person. It is an easy bus ride in from the airport and within a nice stroll of the lively SoCo restaurants and shops. Great coffee at Once Over, less than a 5 minute walk away. I was also able to go on a nice morning run right out the door, reaching the Lady Bird Trail within a mile. All of these conveniences are a major plus, but the eclectic decor and perfectly funky porch all added so much to my Austin experience. I hope to return soon to swing on the rope porch-swing, sipping a nice local Austin beer, listening to Patsy Cline on the radio. Thanks Gretchen!"
345536,6563918,2013-08-17,7544659,Robert,The house was everything our group expected. Great interior and atmosphere. Closely located to city center and with a perfectly working air conditioning this was all we needed. Gretchen was a wonderful host who gave us good insight in Austin/Texas culture. 
345536,7529414,2013-09-23,1342251,Adrian,"What a great home AND great host!  The house is comfortable, interesting and 100% functional - it will be the cherry on your trip to Austin!  Even in the pouring rain, the porch was the place to be!  If we weren't out, cooking or sleeping - we were on the porch.  Great location - easy access for walking, pubtran or driving.  Gretchen was only more than happy to answer questions, provide suggestions or just offer a fun Austonian story.  Thank you!!!"
345536,8078625,2013-10-15,1136228,Angelica,"this home is amazing. lives up to and exceeds expectations from the photos.  it is walking distance to south congress and first st. i never needed a car, except when the torential downpours came.  the house was impeccably clean when we arrived.  gretchen is an awesome hosts w cute dogs. i can't think of one neg. my favorite thing was Gretchen's portrait of the porch, hanging on the porch ❤.  i will be back, Gretch!"
345536,8220885,2013-10-21,8937197,Liz,"I booked Gretchen's place for my boss and her family.  They had a great time.  Said it was perfect!  Gretchen was a gracious host and had coffee on the porch with Nan in the mornings while ""the kids"" slept in.   "
345536,8383646,2013-10-28,2072166,James,"This place was wonderful for my wife and I and our dog bogart.  Gretchen provided us with a fun, clean, comfortable home away from our home in San Antonio.  We will definitely return to this place when we decide to return to Austin.  Couple of comments on the home.  Ideal austin home.  Very cute, very comfortable, very clean.  Lots of fun artwork and literature to dive into.  Its about a 12-15 minute walk to south congress, and the walk is always nice.  We hope to return sooner than later.
A & C
PS Gretchen's dogs, Betty & Repo, are the best.
"
345536,8656796,2013-11-11,7505717,Kelly,Gretchen's house is the perfect landing spot for a great experience in Austin. I highly recommend it. The location near SoCo is ideal and the property is eclectic and fun. Best porch in the city!
345536,8970805,2013-11-29,3442832,Debbie And Chris,"Our family had a fabulous time at Gretchen's home for 5 days.  It is a beautiful, colorful, comfortable and  clean home. The walls are covered with wonderful  art work .   Gretchen was very easy to work with and responsive and communicative. Great central location and lots of good restaurants to walk to.  It is also dog-friendly! Thanks so much Gretchen for sharing your lovely home."
345536,9230850,2013-12-15,6508034,Scott,"A positively wonderful and inviting home full of Austin charm. If you're looking for the authentic real deal, this is the spot. Close to the vibrant SoCo area - and very accessible to everything you need - but local enough to be away from the chaos. I stayed here for a week and thoroughly enjoyed every day. "
345536,10368738,2014-02-16,9692495,Mejdulene,"Gretchen's home is a beautifully curated, warm, and welcoming space. You could spend a full day just discovering all the cool, quirky things laying around. The living room has cozy chairs, the beds are comfy, the towels are soft and clean. Her porch is a thing of wonder,  and I would have been happy to sit there the whole time I was there. The house is also really close to a ton of amazing restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, food trucks, and other Austin attractions. She really is located in the best place! 

Gretchen herself is awesome! She is friendly and fun and can tell you all kinds of great stories if you feel like hearing them. She's laid back and has great food and activity suggestions. She also has two, sweet, funny dogs who will charm the food right out of your fingers. Delightful companions--though Gretchen is careful to keep watch over them and keep them out of your hair, if you don't want them around. The house definitely does not feel like she has pets--nary a stray bit of fur or dirt in the place. 

I would recommend her and her home to anyone in a heartbeat and I would most definitely stay there again. "
345536,10444345,2014-02-18,24449,Mary,terrific experience!
345536,10495897,2014-02-22,5283842,Nicole,"We absolutely LOVED staying at Gretchen's place.  The colorful decor throughout the house made the place feel lively and happy, and the place was clean and very homey and comfortable.
The wrap around porch was amazing, and there were days where we contemplated canceling our plans so we could spend more time on the porch.
The property is lovely and a real sanctuary within the city.  Gretchen was a fabulous host, and we couldn't recommend her more.
Finally, Repo and Betty (the two doggies) were so adorable and affectionate.  They really added to the overall feel of coming home after a day of exploring.  HIGHLY recommend staying here!"
345536,10918796,2014-03-13,3595509,Marijn,"It was a great stay at Gretchen's, we really enjoyed it! Perfect location for SXSW also, we did everything by bike (quite some hills but ok). Easy communication and everything was well arranged. Only thing was that we stayed with 5 people in her house and that there's only 1 bathroom (and only 2 real bed rooms)… that meant waiting in line for the shower :-). But we loved it and would definitely recommend it! 

"
345536,11250789,2014-03-26,8188557,John & Michael,"This is a great place, and absolutely as advertised! The host, the location, the back porch, the home...all excellent. It was the perfect place to hang out for a long weekend. We only wish we could've had a little more time there."
345536,11587599,2014-04-08,11702529,Danielle,"We had a fantastic time at this place. In fact, we had a few local friends over for dinner on the porch and they said that they wanted to rent this place - despite the fact that they lived only :15 minutes away, ha ha! We had a few rainstorms while we were there and it was lovely to sit out there with the rain drumming away on the tin roof. The place is really spacious and comfortable. There were at least a few good restaurants within easy walking distance. We had a fabulous time!"
345536,11744082,2014-04-14,1040657,Katie,"I came to Austin for a conference located at the Hyatt Regency. Due to overflow, my boyfriend and I sought accommodations elsewhere. When we found this gem, we were very glad that our initial plan backfired. Gretchen's home was well situated (close to restaurants serving delicious food and nightlife). My conference hotel was about a 20 minute walk, which was fine with me. We rented bikes and got around efficiently. The home itself is very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Gretchen has a great eye for interior decoration; all areas of the house are well composed, her colour palette is bold and refreshing, her art collection is worth a closer look. Our favourite part was the porch - it's fantastic. On a hot summer's day (and night) this is where you want to be. 
It was a pleasure, Gretchen. Thanks!      "
345536,12544989,2014-05-05,9485623,Erica,"Gretchen's place was a delight! It was just the kind if south Austin charm I was looking for for my parents. I was a little weary of getting them an airbnb place since they're pretty traditional, but having the porch to drink our coffee on in the morn, and have post dinner drinks in the evening was so nice. We were able to walk and bike places easily too which was great. Would totally stay again. "
345536,13143113,2014-05-20,13974679,Evan,"I cannot overstate how wonderful it was to stay at Gretchen's home. 

I lived in Austin for close to a decade, and this was my second trip back since moving out of state two years ago. 

Gretchen is a tremendously gracious and generous host. She informed us about events taking place around town, recommended restaurants, and shared her amazing knowledge of Austin. Gretchen was born and raised in Austin and knows a ton about the city. Before we even arrived at the house, Gretchen was super hospitable, helping me by email and phone to coordinate our arrival and to plan having a few old friends over to catch up on the porch-deck-wonder land.

The house is beautiful. The vibe is old Austin and not kitschy. You will feel at ease and at home the second you walk through the gate and set your feet on the amazing deck. The inside of the house if open and airy. It great for relaxing, working, or having friends over for dinner or drinks or whatever you fancy. The master bedroom has lovely windows that sit above eye level, providing great natural light and also privacy. The yard is very large, welcoming, and provides both a sense of privacy and country living. 

My only regret is that we could not have stayed longer. You will feel so comfortable here. It may take a few extra days to get to know Austin because all you want to do is chill at your vacation home. Gretchen, thanks for making my return to Austin such a great experience. Thank you for opening your home to us. I look forward to staying at your place on our next visit to the city."
345536,13680119,2014-06-02,14849675,Diane,The property was beautiful-- just like the pictures and the beds were very comfortable. Gretchen was a great host. The house is within walking distance of restaurants. I wish I had booked a longer trip:)
345536,15799206,2014-07-15,10392725,Bertrand And Lynne,Gigi is super nice. She stayed in her studio out back but wasn't intrusive in any way. The house is really cute. We mostly walked everywhere. Took a taxi once to go a little more downtown but that was it. The streets and neighborhoods down there are lovely to walk in.
345536,16787663,2014-08-02,470990,Lina,"I had a wonderful stay at Gigi's place. It is true to the pictures, colorful and happy place. The location is great, close to all the major attractions of Austin, very easy to get in and out. Very central but quiet location.
The house was clean and very comfortable. Gigi is a great host, very easy to communicate with, flexible and accommodating. She made me feel as if it is my home.
Loved it. Definitely will stay there again and recommend to all."
345536,18901581,2014-09-02,8007814,Sarah,"Gigi made us feel extremely welcome and was a superb host throughout our stay. The house itself was great—comfy, colorful and cool with great AC in the Austin heat. Fun décor and great amenities. The location was also a bonus, in close proximity (or a short Uber ride away) from a number of great bars and restaurants. Walking to Congress was easy.

Would definitely stay here again!"
345536,20096016,2014-09-23,10556409,Andrés,"Gigi is an excellent host, the house is really cool and comfortable.
We spend excellent time in Austin, I will return for sure.


"
345536,20337681,2014-09-28,18224572,Jennifer,"We instantly fell in love with Gigi's place!  The style is unique and comfortable.  We instantly felt at home.  The location is excellent.  It is a short walk to SoCo and a speedy drive everywhere else.  Bouldin for breakfast,  Winebelly for dinner.  Then back to Gigi's wonderful home.  She was speedy with all responses, close by only if you need her, and even great during a crisis!  Great spot."
345536,20810449,2014-10-06,13938619,Tim,"Gigi, (my host) guided this weary traveler through the dark to her lovely, friendly, funky, Austin art museum of a home. She kindly settled me in, and gave me the local lowdown during the Texas twister that is ACL festival. Honestly, I felt like I was staying at a friends home. Everything clean and tidy. So if you are looking for a place to truly relax that has authentic Austin charm …this is it."
345536,21275565,2014-10-14,5199364,Alexes,"Was a great experience. Host was awesome, really helpful and the property was great.

Would recommend it to all."
345536,23455602,2014-12-01,23468685,Andrea,"Great home and host!  Gigi's description was spot-on, the house is as hip, artsy, and laid back as Austin is.  The deck and yard are a perfect little slice of Texas.  We will be back!"
345536,24667909,2015-01-01,5758977,Eric,"Gigi gifted us with what has been hands-down the best airbnb experience we have ever had. And I say ""experience,"" not just ""stay,"" because the whole week was just picture perfect. *Picture* perfect. You know how when you browse rentals, the photos of the house are always better than the house? Not Gigi's!

Click around and get a sense of what a wonderful tribute her home is to the history of Austin and specifically one of Austin's great neighborhoods. Now, get this: the real deal is WAY BETTER than these pictures.

It was a family reunion that brought us to A-town this time. Many of us grew up here and this is the way we remember the town. Kids aged ""from one to 92"" enjoyed the holidays in style. And yes, the porch is the place, even in late December. This is Texas, after all.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gigi. My sister is so lucky to be your neighbor and the rest of us will just have to settle for returning again and again.

Specific shout-outs: the art! It's like living in a folk art gallery. Great kitchen, for cooking big meals or just as a gathering place. Great bedding and pillows. Very kid-friendly. Huge, fenced yard for kids (we left the dogs behind this time, but they'd be in heaven). The Famous Porch! The Compound: rent both dwellings for larger gatherings. The 'hood: kids loved the library across the street. Also Green Pastures (easy walk).

It was all just so exactly right.

Finally: would you take the time to write a review like this for a Hilton?? C'mon, Austin is a special place. So when you're here, do as we do, eat as we eat, stay as we stay.

See ya soon, Gigi!"

"
345536,26604070,2015-02-16,5158517,Brittany,Gigi was a great host and we enjoyed staying in her charming home. A terrific base for an Austin visit!
345536,26946182,2015-02-22,5340914,Ellen,"Gigi's home was everything she described and more!  6 of us (including a 1 year old)  spent the weekend there and enjoyed every minute. The house was spotless and easily child proofed. There was a perfect nook off one bedroom for a porta-crib. Beds were fresh and comfy. The house was outfitted with everything we needed.

The decorating was just plain fun! What a wonderfully eclectic, colorful home; quirky yet very functional. So obvious that Gigi is a really creative artist. The porch was great. We didn't use the yard, but there's plenty of space for running around and the fire pit looked nice.

We all loved the resident pups, Repo and Betty. Betty, in particular, provided lots of entertainment. If you're not a dog fan, don't worry, they'll leave you alone.

We had never been to Austin before and were delighted with the location. We walked to the attractions on South Congress, Barton Springs, and lots of great restaurants.

Check in and out was easy. Can't recommend Austin Artist's home  enough!
"
345536,28810370,2015-03-30,8661763,Copper,"The vibrant, inviting photos for this house are right on--it is cute as a pea.  We had privacy, but felt Gigi would be available for any help we might need.  Things that might affect one's decisions:  We are ashamed to note that the Wifi was rocket fast and there were two huge flatscreens with a million channels and Tivo.  There is a cute grocery/liquor store one block's walk away, which is an unsung bonus.  One can walk to healthy spots like Bouldin Creek  Cafe, etc., in a minute, so you can grab takeaway and scamper back home to drink Lone Star on the porch with the dogs.  Winner winner chicken-fried dinner."
345536,29341583,2015-04-06,4014731,Kathy,"My daughter and I stayed here for six days and loved it!  The location is perfect for getting to anything in or around Austin. It was great to enjoy the porch when we were too tired to do anything else. We found all the necessities--wi-fi, AC, dishwasher, all working perfectly. The TV in the main bedroom was a bonus. Loads of room to spread out and comfy furniture to relax on. Definitely a great find. "
345536,29743953,2015-04-12,19983796,Elise,"Gigi was very welcoming and gave a lot of information about Austin. We loved the house. It was chock full of interesting art and objets d'art and painted in vivid colors. The porch was an ideal place for hanging out with friends and playing some country ditties.  Gig's dog Betty, the Boston terrier, has a great personality and was a sweet companion. The neighborhood is full of interesting architecture and within walking distance of great restaurants, shops and places to hear music. I highly recommend Gigi's house to any Austin visitors.  "
345536,30497836,2015-04-23,26873170,Aj,"Gigi and her pupparazzi were fantastic. She made our family feel so at home. We wish her gorgeous digs were our home. So colorful and centrally located. We miss being there already!
"
345536,30770117,2015-04-27,1834301,Christi,"After you enter the farm fence, you enter into a magical world curated by the lovely host Gigi and her beloved Betty, a Boston terrier.  The place is cozy, colorful and full of playful art.  The fans keep it nice and cool.  Thanks for a great stay!"
345536,31167068,2015-05-03,208655,Ben,"Gigi's house is truly awesome. Comfortable, stylish, and featuring the deck to end all decks, it's a great place for a small group when visiting Austin. We passed many happy hours there.  

Be aware that there is another building on the property in which Gigi and her dog(s) will be staying. Those expecting complete privacy should look elsewhere."
345536,32252387,2015-05-16,6695521,Jaremey,"Gigi's place is terrific.  It's in an amazing part of town, with great coffee shops, restaurants, and neighborhood architecture nearby.  Beautiful running trails are very close, too.  But the real draw is the home itself and its amazing porch.  Relaxing, quiet, and a lot of fun.  Gigi is a kind and accommodating host, too.  I hope to be back sometime."
345536,37309423,2015-07-06,3806904,Samuel,"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful house! It's so charming, vibrant and comfortable inside. We loved sitting out on the porch and hanging out with Betty, who is quite possibly the sweetest little dog around. Gigi was such a great host! She kept the place in perfect condition, welcomed us with a smile, gave great recommendations for what to do in the area and was available if we needed anything. We thought the location was just perfect. There were so many great restaurants, bars, cafes and music venues within walking distance. Then getting to downtown was just a 5-10 minute car/ bus ride away. We really had such a wonderful time at this place and thought it was the perfect way to experience Austin and all of the character, food, music and fun it has to offer. We're in love with the house and the city! Thanks, Gigi being such a helpful part our wonderful, memorable vacation! "
345536,46850518,2015-09-13,36899006,Anosh,"This place exceeded all our expectations and was absolutely wonderful! I was looking last minute for a place that would accommodate me, my wife, two year old daughter and our two small dogs for a two night stay. Gigi was awesome! She was able to accommodate our short notice and even get the place ready for us prior to the check-in time.  The location is unbeatable and the house is quintessential Austin. The décor and artwork around the house are simply charming and makes for a fun place to be. There was ample space for our family and some friends (who visited during our stay) to hang out and enjoy. Our dogs also had a great time visiting with Gigi’s dogs (especially Betty) and exploring the large, eclectically landscaped garden.  You get all the necessary amenities (i.e. wireless, cable TV, dishes, towels etc...) and everything is super clean.
 
Overall, my family and I would stay here again in a heartbeat...we couldn’t have been happier with choosing this property. Thanks Gigi!"
345536,48911762,2015-09-29,1164499,Alexandra,"We rented this place because of the proximity to the film festival we were attending. It was a perfect location for us. Adorable home, great yard and patio. Wish we could have spent more time there to actually use it. The host was located on the property yet gave us our space so it still felt completely private."
345536,50434548,2015-10-12,3303499,Gerardo,"The house was incredible with lots of spaces to share with your group. The beds were super comfortable and the bathroom big enough with great water pressure. Everything you might need is there, full stocked kitchen and washing machine and supplies. Would definitely stay here again. Gigi was really nice and check-in and check-out was easy and smooth. "
345536,51116374,2015-10-18,38673139,Holly,"My group and I had a fantastic experience staying at Gigi’s house. She made us feel so welcome and at home as soon as we arrived. The house was even better than the photos. It was so cute and the embodiment of what Austin is all about. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for our group of 6. The house had the best porch to hang out on. Also, the location cannot be beat. You really can’t go wrong booking here with Gigi. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay near downtown Austin."
345536,52051768,2015-10-26,5779229,Claire,"Gigi was prompt in our communication and was available for questions. Check in was painless, the house was as pictured and we enjoyed our stay during a very busy time in Austin (F1). Thanks Gigi! (P.S. Betty the dog is a delight!)"
6251,2267,2009-05-10,15821,Anna,"About the place:
The pictures don't do the place justice.  Fred had a maid come through hours before we arrived, so the place was immaculate.  The condo itself looks very industrial, with exposed loft ceilings, smooth concrete flooring, and floor to ceiling high windows.  The decor is very minimalist/neo-mod, which I found very comforting (and easy to clean up after).  There was free WiFi, and I was able to stream my iTunes music onto his home stereo, which I had playing most of my stay.  At $60 a night, and with the going rate of motels in the city at $120+, staying at Fred's was a steal.

About Fred:
Upon meeting Fred, I immediately felt at home.  He is a very sincere, nice, intelligent fellow, with good humor to match.  This is my first time using AirBnB, and I had my hesitations, but Fred quickly washed those feelings away.  He made us feel very welcome in his beautiful home, and for that, we are very grateful.

About the stay:
I never had to call Fred about anything during our whole stay.  In other words, our stay in Austin, went smoothly.  Other than the construction that woke us up Friday (which he warned us about, and will probably be finished by the time he ""rents"" out his place again), our stay went undisturbed.  

Extra notes:
I highly recommend you stay at Frederick's place.  If I ever find myself in Austin again, he's the first person I'm going to hit up."
6251,3051,2009-05-24,15162,Sujan,"Very nice place, that is clean and stylish. Full kitchen with utensils and modern equipment. Easy-to-use, washer-dryer on site as well. 

Good neighborhood and close to downtown area. Close to local/Latino places to eat including an El Salvadoran place (El Zunzal) that was excellent. 

The construction was the only hassle since all windows had to be shut at all times (taking away the awesome view of downtown!). The construction was also the reason why the parking was a bit far, making carrying things (we had a cooler, etc) a hassle. 

Fred was very helpful. He left us good instructions on the place and the neighborhood. The wireless Internet was useful. The stereo was great. 

All in all, the place is a great deal and I would use it myself again and recommend to others as well. "
6251,3479,2009-06-02,15112,Julie,"Wonderful place to stay.  Fred was so nice and accommodating.  There was some construction going on while we were staying there.  But the workers didn't start making noise until 10am.  I give this place 5 stars because I can see beyond the construction.  All of Fred's neighbors were such nice people and so were their dogs. Say hi to Franky, Waco, Luby and many other puppies while your there. Fred had everything we could have needed and more.  His sense of design with furniture and art is enjoying to be around.  And I loved the interior color choices on the walls too.  I would defiantly stay at Fred's place again if I had the chance.    "
6251,4031,2009-06-14,20416,Chris,"Fred's Place:
Very Nice, enjoyed it.  Close to everything, easy to access.  Would absolutely stay again."
6251,4612,2009-06-27,9148,Megan,"Fred was very accommodating and helpful! The location was very good for getting into town (close to bus stops and only $6 cab fare in or out of town) and the apartment was nice and comfortable. It was usually quiet at the apartment (except for the construction... but I wasn't there most of the time during the day).

Thanks, Fred, for everything! Stay cool."
6251,4778,2009-06-29,17106,Jackie,"Artsy, tastefully decorated, abundance of space and a delightful and intelligent host - these totally speak of our Austin experience.  Angel and I enjoyed Austin and this is partly because of Frederick's Place.

I'd look up Fred if ever I am around Austin again.  Best regards, Fred!"
6251,5050,2009-07-05,15922,Shawn,"This was my first trial of AirBnB and Fred made it an extremely positive one, with thorough/frequent and clear communication before I arrived and a spacious/spotless and stylin' loft. Both the air conditioning (welcome during a weekend heat spell) and wireless worked perfectly and I found the loft to be quiet and calm during the brief times I was there inbetween sightseeing. Thanks, Fred - you're an excellent host! "
6251,6208,2009-07-27,23372,Katie,"We really loved Fred's loft! It was a wonderful retreat after a hot day in the city. I had some last minute changes in arrival times, and Fred was very accommodating. I would be happy to stay there again in the future. "
6251,7955,2009-08-22,22384,Alan,Had a great experience staying in Fred's loft.  Everything was as advertised.  Great location for someone looking to spend time downtown.  I would highly recommend staying here during your trip to Austin.  
6251,10787,2009-09-20,36239,Richard,"Great stay, great location. Not much else i could ask for. Thanks Fred!"
6251,12617,2009-10-06,27859,Ashtyn,Fred was a wonderful host and his loft was absolutely lovely. We will most definitely be coming back to Austin and hopefully staying here again. Thanks so much Fred!!
6251,14969,2009-10-25,37656,Mike,"Fred was an awesome host, he was very accomodating, and even though we were stupid and got a little lost and ended up at the wrong lofts, he was more than happy to swing by and help show us to where we were supposed to be.  Also, our ride for the liveSTRONG challenge took a little longer than expected due to some mishaps, and Fred was more than accomodating with our delay in checking out.  The loft itself was immaculate, and like a poster said below, the pictures really do not do it justice.  East Austin has really come a long way from when I used to go to school at UT Austin.  I highly recommend Fred and his awesome loft."
6251,16677,2009-11-08,50635,Jonathan,The place was awesome & the location was perfect. It's a great place to stay!  :)
6251,19248,2009-12-05,59759,Tess,"LOVELY PLACE- very nice, very clean! GREAT host- returned an ER call asap when I forgot one of the codes- THANKS!"
6251,20172,2009-12-13,52115,Rajiv,"Fred's place is amazing!  Great modern decor, art on the walls, great facilities (bathroom, washer/dryer, etc.) in a safe, gated complex.  The pictures do not do it justice.  Close to downtown and about seventeen times better than staying at a hotel.  =)  Fred was a very polite, knowledgeable and formal host.  I seriously recommend staying here!  Do not miss out on the opportunity."
6251,21546,2009-12-28,14599,Lisa And Jeremy,"Frederick's place is a gem. It is spacious and comfortable, with gorgeous light and every amenity you could want. You are close to everything - especially hot new French restaurant Justine's (tip: go stop by and leave your name, then go back to the loft to chill for the 90-min wait for your table). Really a fantastic place to stay for anyone visiting Austin."
6251,22326,2010-01-01,66071,Christopher,"Immaculately clean, super spacious, handsome view of the skyline from a great location on E. 6th...not sure what else to say! Fred was awesome and easy going, and was flexible with our check out on New Year's day to help us get 2010 off to a fantastic start. I can't recommend it enough. Thanks Fred!"
6251,24195,2010-01-17,60674,Travis,This place was stellar! I've always rented from individuals instead of getting a hotel when I'm in Austin (Keep Austin Weird..) This was by far the most clean and comfortable spot I've stayed in. The view off the balcony is fantastic. Enjoy a bottle of Dom like we did and wear a smile on your face! Thanks again Fred!  
6251,26932,2010-02-20,69403,Jay,"It was a really cool place. I would recommend this place to anyone. Nice location, nice view. We had a great time!"
6251,28718,2010-03-08,82202,Angie,"Fred's place is great, and he is an excellent host. We couldn't figure out the espresso machine, so we sent him a text message for direction. Instead of just telling us how to fix it, he went over while we were out, set up the machine, and left us a pound of coffee. It was like we were at the Ritz, except our place was three times as big as a hotel room and came with a washer/dryer and a panini press. You can't go wrong chez Fred."
6251,29786,2010-03-16,81900,Daniel,"Fred's place was fantastic, this place will take your breath away when you enter. Fred was helpful when I had problems getting in, and as an artist the community had a very art-driven vibe to it. Highly recommended"
6251,30478,2010-03-21,77267,Eric,"Great place - great host. I had never used airbnb before but stumbled on it out of a lack of available hotels around SXSW. 

The place was great - perfect size to comfortable stay with one other person. It helped on our expenses to have a kitchen.

Really good location for SXSW - when cabs are sparse, it was only a 30 minute walk or 15 minute ride on a rickshaw.

Definitely a 5 out of 5. "
6251,33132,2010-04-04,77822,AsSamad,"The place was great! Although, it was kind of far from the activities that were going on. Other than that it was great. Nice host and a beautiful view of downtown. I will definitely stay again....."
6251,35106,2010-04-12,82659,Julie,"Fred was a welcoming host. The loft was clean, comfortable and within walking distance to many unique bars and restaurants in East Austin. If you're without a car, it's an nice walk or bike ride to downtown, the Warehouse District, the hike and bike trails, South Congress area, and everything else Austin has to offer."
6251,38166,2010-04-26,97930,Dan,"Great place to stay in Austin.  Only a 5 or 10 minute drive to almost everything we did, clean, cool, and well priced.  Couldn't ask for more!  Will definitely stay again!"
6251,41300,2010-05-09,119303,Cynthia,"Great place and an excellent host.  The loft was clean, comfortable and very conveniently located.  I'd definitely stay again!"
6251,48032,2010-05-30,131411,Priscilla,We loved Fred's place! It was clean and comfortable! The location was also great! Thank you for everything! 
6251,52050,2010-06-12,81089,Tiffany,"Fred's place is amazing! Super clean and modern, free parking, very safe.  Great size, too.  When we couldn't find the keys at first, Fred was easy to reach and helped us find them over the phone.  I would definitely love to stay here again next time I come to Austin!  Everything we wanted to go to in Austin was about a 10-minute drive, too."
6251,61406,2010-07-05,148936,Paula,"Fred is an excellent host (well, an excellent absentee host :)  the place is gorgeous, clean, and has good access to downtown and food/etc.  we rented bikes and pretty much rode everywhere from there.  i would (will?) definitely stay here again."
6251,114336,2010-10-08,58364,Matt,"The loft was AWESOME. It was clean, the bed was incredibly comfy, and I love the fact that I could use Airtunes and stream my music wirelessly to the stereo.

Fred is a great host, and the 3 page guide to Austin Fred sent before my arrival was very helpful.

Overall, it was an excellent experience. "
6251,116325,2010-10-11,241901,Andrea,"Very nice apartment! love the decoration and furnitures!!
Really near to the center and very quiet place to stay.
We enjoyed so much! I really recomend this loft!!
thanks Frederick for everything!"
6251,124603,2010-10-22,110847,Slavica,"The loft is awesome, spacious, comfortable and clean, the location is perfect if you want to spend time downtown.Fred answered every email very quickly.Highly  recommended!
"
6251,131197,2010-11-01,250425,Andy,nice place pretty much as advertised.  Good location with good vibe. I would recommend.  The only negative and it is minor is that these lofts have cement floors (so they actually look and feel like a loft) so when the upstairs occupant puts on her heels before leaving for work you know it.
6251,137716,2010-11-12,55877,Ritchie,"Had a great stay at Frederick's apartment in East Austin. His place is large and comfortable, and relatively close (by car) to anything you might want to see or do. Recommended, and I'd definitely stay at Frederick's again."
6251,139578,2010-11-15,275328,Phil,Great apt in a great location!  Fred made our stay easy and hassle free.  I definitely recommend his loft to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin!
6251,143643,2010-11-23,202586,Anna,"Such an amazing loft, and great little area of Austin!  Fred is awesome and a great host!!"
6251,153238,2010-12-13,303100,Cesar,Great loft and not a bad distance from DT Austin.  Would definitely recommend this place to others.
6251,165706,2011-01-04,68571,Michael,"I had  lovely time staying in the loft. It's very open, clean and airy. The airTunes was a plus and there's a fantastic coffee shop  downstairs with a killer latte. Frederick was extremely accommodating and brought us some great coffee beans. Would definitely stay here when in Austin next!"
6251,179429,2011-02-07,2695525,Avni,"Location was great! Lots of restaurants and bars within walking distance. The loft was spacious and decorated. One dislike about the loft was that it seemed like the host had recently stayed there. 
Fred was very accomodating to our travel plans and left precious instructions and recommendations!"
6251,185455,2011-02-21,352355,Scott,Loft was nicely decorated and the host was friendly.  About 2 miles from downtown.
6251,189880,2011-02-28,368356,Worapong,"Very accommodating and helpful host.  We had different folks meeting up throughout the weekend and he was ok with letting us add people as needed and left extra payment for the extra guests last minute.  Also, someone needed to stay behind and the place was available and since it was not reserved for that day, she was able to leave payment for the extra night.  Nice neighborhood, if you are in your late 20's or 30 and above, this is the spot.  Not too far from the cooler/divey part of 6th street.  Also includes parking spot which is convenient, I think you would want to have a rental if you are going to stay at this part of town.  Will definitely look to stay here again when visiting Austin in the future."
6251,194282,2011-03-07,420444,Jud,"Great, clean, modern - all things in order exactly as Fred said.  Easy in/out - great location.  Great stay -- only drawback was slightly creep art -- huge photos of baroque/evil-ish doll faces in living room... other than that, great!"
6251,202017,2011-03-18,35445,Marina,"Excellent host, prompt and courteous communication. The apartment is a delight and I truly enjoyed staying there! Highly recommend Fred as a host and would love to stay there again!"
6251,204356,2011-03-21,241890,Julie,"Host was helpful, flexible and easy to communicate with. It was so nice to stay in a loft as opposed to a hotel. We were very comfortable and felt at home there. Good location, close to downtown and great east side restaurants. "
6251,210923,2011-03-28,415216,Erik,"Gorgeous loft, great location! We've really enjoyed the stay. Thanks Fred for your excellent support!"
6251,232321,2011-04-19,498265,Diane,"The loft apartment is actually quite big.   I rented it just for myself but three people could stay there easily if one sleeps in the cot that is set up.  The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking which is great.  The apartment is in East Austin, just two miles from downtown.  The place was clean and comfortable, and it has a great view of downtown.  It was also fun experiencing living in a loft for a few days."
6251,235220,2011-04-22,241722,Tami,Great clean space in a nice location.
6251,248301,2011-05-02,496276,Kellie,"The loft was roomy and comfortable. The location is ideal for those wanting to venture downtown. It was only a 15 minute walk to get to the night life on W. 6th. As soon as you walk in, the artwork will have you mesmerized and each is a great conversation piece. The patio overlooked a spacious grassy area and had a nice view of downtown.  Fred is a wonderful host and was very accommodating. You can't go wrong with renting this place.   "
6251,257213,2011-05-09,415216,Erik,"Thank you Fred, you're an excellent host! This is my second time I've stayed in your gorgeous loft and I don't have other than good words. I fully recommend this place, is close to downtown, has all amenities, the loft is quite nice and Fred is always in contact for you to help in anything. "
6251,265560,2011-05-16,488721,Kay,The loft was perfect for our weekend stay.  The instructions the owner sent were on point and were helpful.  We will definitely stay there in the future!
6251,298592,2011-06-05,593185,Kristen,"The loft was just as lovely as pictured, with friendly neighbors to boot. The kitchen was fully equipped, and I wished I had been able to stay longer. Having the gated access to the complex was super-convenient, and I enjoyed exploring that part of town. The shower was great; the bed was fine; the host anticipated every need-- I'll be back for a second stay."
6251,512599,2011-09-08,403328,Joe,The host canceled my reservation 21 days before arrival.
6251,535821,2011-09-16,734793,Ramon,"I can't put i words, the cool experience we had staying info the loft. We were able to cook gourmet meals and eat on the patio.. The view of  downtown was great. I will be staying again. Thanks first the wonderful experience"
6251,11061601,2014-03-18,12331142,Aaron,"Fred was a more than flexible and fair host who made my experience at SXSW that much easier.  He made sure that I was able to have the most accurate depiction of the loft before booking and was extremely informative when it came to the neighborhood, how to connect to the internet, and more.  This was a great experience as a first time Airbnb user, and would not be surprised if it were my most pleasant.  Excellent time."
6251,11892414,2014-04-18,5026621,Peggy,"My friends and I had a great stay here.  The apartment is located near 6th street (a 2 minute drive). We had a great time exploring the neighborhood and going two-stepping at the local White Horse.  It was also very easy to get around the rest of the city.

The apartment style is minimalist and modern (gray concrete floors, high ceilings).  I believe there was a recent paint job so the color scheme changed to brown and gray unlike the pictures.  Overall, the apartment was true to the pictures.  Two of us shared the two beds in the bedroom and another slept on the converted couch.  Everyone was comfortable.  There is also a washer and dryer in the apartment.

Frederick was not around but very responsive to any questions we had.

My only wish was that there were toiletries (shampoo, soap) provided. "
6251,12344298,2014-04-29,1192232,Daniel,"Beautiful loft, great location, and awesome/friendly host. Definitely recommend you book this place ASAP!"
6251,12618648,2014-05-06,443430,Lisa,"Great space, great location, great host.   Frederick was beyond responsive and help and his apt was perfect.  I would stay here again in a second! "
6251,13925280,2014-06-08,15573659,Susan,Frederick was an excellent host. Nice condo and location. Thanks!
6251,15004368,2014-06-30,15242721,Laura,We stayed in freddy's apartment for 3 nights! We didn't meet Fred in person but he had left us clear instructions on where to pick keys up and codes and we had no problems at all! The apartment is just like the pictures! It was clean and tidy and we had fresh Linen! It's in a perfect location we had a car but walked a lot! It's walking distance to restaurants and cafes! Fred have us the names of a few places he liked which helped! If your after something healthy whole foods was probably my favourite place! It was awesome! Overall our experience was great we had a lovely time in Austin just wish we could have stayed longer! Fred was a great host we knew we could just call him if we needed to about anything!  Thankyou Fred 
6251,15336025,2014-07-07,7010440,Billy,"Listing was almost exactly as pictured (slightly different layout and some finishes have been painted, but very much the same vibe as pictured). Fred was very helpful and quick to respond when we needed him, and invisible when we didn't, which worked perfectly for our stay. The place is nicely located in a quiet residential area that's also short walking distance to local bars and restaurants, and a short drive to downtown/anything else more central. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to enjoy a chill time in Austin with close friends!"
6251,19565961,2014-09-14,11378802,Pharren,I really enjoyed my stay at Fred's place. This was my first experience booking with an owner. Fred was quick to reply to my inquiry and didn't leave any questions unanswered. The loft was in the perfect (email hidden)t within the craziness of w. 6th St but still in walking distance to bars and restaurants. Would def rent with Fred again. Thanks!! 
6251,20204786,2014-09-25,1456409,Nick,"Fred's place is located in a great neighbourhood, with great coffee and grocery stores nearby. Walking downtown takes about 30 minutes. The place is pretty great, with all the facilities one needs. Fred could've prepared for our stay a little better though."
6251,20767407,2014-10-05,21132324,Gahreen,Fred was a great host. He was available by text and his responses were almost immediate.
6251,21586317,2014-10-20,1208652,Anna,"Overall, good experience. Frederick was very helpful and informative, and we loved staying in East Austin. Great neighborhood with lots of fun bars, restaurants, etc. I will note that the furnishings don't completely resemble the pictures--not a big deal though. Also, the state of the loft was a tiny bit run down (couldn't get the main blind facing the patio open, a few unfinished electrical outlets, etc.). However, the loft was spacious and comfortable, and Frederick was a very friendly host. Would stay here again."
6251,22294556,2014-11-03,20288938,Christopher,Great place and location. Perfect for getting spot for getting around Austin. Place was clean and Frederick was a very gracious and accommodating host. Close to downtown with a 5 minute cab ride away. 
6251,22592961,2014-11-10,15196836,Darren,"As soon as I booked the reservation, Fred was in contact to answer any questions. A very available and knowledgable host. His initial email described the area well and suggested some things to check out. I was very fond of this location vs. staying somewhere near the busy downtown area. It's walking distance to good restaurants, food trucks, and bars. Highly recommend staying here, the place itself was comfortable, clean, and the shower pressure was good (an important luxury for me)."
6251,23444112,2014-12-01,56580,David,"Staying at Frederick's place was good. He communicated very clearly and promptly leading up to check-in, which went easily. The place was as described, and the location was solid. It's about a 15 minute walk to the most desirable bars and restaurants, there is a ""B-Cycle"" bike-sharing station right outside of the building, and there was usually a Car2Go within a couple blocks of the place. The balcony looks out onto the common courtyard, and the apartment is very quiet."
6251,25851480,2015-01-27,25497628,Sara,"the loft was comfortable and a perfect location for us. An easy walk to the Lake for morning exercise, very close to the airport and convenient to all of Austin.  Coffee and half and half were there in the morning, and a few magazines on what to do in Austin were very much appreciated. "
6251,26015346,2015-02-01,1576254,Andrew,"Great loft apartment in an excellent, convenient location. Host was gracious and communicative."
6251,27571087,2015-03-08,810661,Mladen,The place was modern and located in a great part of town. I stayed here for a month and would stay again. Fred was helpful and provided lot of details prior to my arrival. 
6251,28296198,2015-03-22,3554079,Jonah,"Frederick was the consummate host. He was prompt to ensure I was able to get into his loft successfully upon my arrival. And was very responsive throughout my visit. The loft was spacious and though feeling a bit remote, it had many nearby establishements which were consistent with Austin's charm. Getting downtown was an easy 20 minute walk, or there was a bike rental station just across the street from the loft."
6251,28724962,2015-03-29,18681753,Maura,"Fred's place is amazing! We could not have asked for better. Staying in a hotel suite as nice as this would have cost a fortune. It is a steal to be able to have this place all to ourselves for such a good deal. There is a ton of sleeping space. The balcony and living room was our favorite part, such a nice view and nice to have the door open with the screen closed on nice days. He has all the entertainment equipment you could want, including speakers and a headphone jack to play music through your phone. the apartment complex itself is really nice too, with a courtyard, lots of dogs, and a community garden.  

Fred was so nice, helpful and accommodating. He let us check in early and out late according to our flights, and when my flight got in even earlier than expected he had the cleaning lady let me up so i could drop off my stuff and explore the town. He sent us a ton of helpful info about austin before had. Really he could not have been a more wonderful host.

The area was probably our favorite part. Amazing location. We walked the whole time, only took a cab to and from the airport (that walking included: easy walk to great bars near by on the hipster side of 6th like liberty, the white horse, and hotel vegas; easy walk a little further to downtown and dirty 6th st; walk to the lake via Chavez st; and we even walked to downtown south congress (soco), though that might be a little far for some people about 3 miles). there is so much to explore in his neighborhood. so many great food trucks and restaurants near by. would not have wanted to stay anywhere else!"
6251,29307180,2015-04-06,739972,Rachel,"What a lovely loft! Just the perfect space for my parents to stay for the long weekend! Location is pretty ideal if you plan on spending a lot of time in the east side: is super close to both I35 and 183 (which means just a quick trip to and from the airport!) Building was quiet and clean.

Frederick was extremely communicative and easy to work with. Overall a great experience! Thank you!"
6251,30053214,2015-04-16,9838047,Charlie,"Navigating to find the lockbox and the loft unit was a bit of challenge if arriving after dark, kind of a scavenger hunt.  The unit was spacious and large with a coffee maker, cable TV and clean.  A bit odd in it's layout - seems it may have been used for production space recently.  The location was perfect for work/ my particular visit this trip and meetings, but the area of E. 6th is growing - it is not the ideal place for those looking for the nightlight of town, or most central location.  Great for those looking to stay and / or explore East 6th."
6251,30213500,2015-04-19,14715232,New,"Frederick was communicative and helpful in coordinating our arrival.  Beautiful, clean place with great amenities. The loft is in a great part of town very close to a bunch of great bars and food spots.  Had a great time exploring Austin for the first time and Frederick's place was a big part of it."
6251,31948109,2015-05-12,735725,Carolina,"Fred is a great host - very communicative and considerate. The apartment was lovely, great location, it was a great trip.  Thanks Fred!"
6251,32365819,2015-05-17,31358947,Cody,This place was in the perfect location to all the great nightlife on 6th street  but far enough to rest quietly and comfortably. Fred was prompt in answering all questions about apt. Highly recommend!!
6251,32855136,2015-05-22,1732893,Laura & Andrew,"I really enjoyed my stay at Fred's place...great location and place. Quiet. Clean.

Super coffee and pastries at Mama's downstairs...rode the bike to work...and great to have a real TV (Fred isn't a cord-cutter) for MSNBC in the morning.

Wanted to stay again the following week but he's booked.

Give yourself a little time to learn the keys and doors..."
6251,33119182,2015-05-25,30812096,Tom,We loved Fred's place in East Austin! The location was perfect and affordable. We stayed there while attending wedding festivities in Austin. Everything was as expected. It's a perfect place for 2 people or a couple and one other.
6251,33471038,2015-05-28,33663834,Ronai,The space is great and the host was very clear with instructions. I was here two nights and really enoyed my stay.
6251,33839157,2015-06-01,14967872,Carmella,"While Fred was in California during our stay, his instructions were very helpful. I felt bad texting him because I couldn't figure out the lockbox, but my husband came through! After that, everything was fantastic. 

The complex is gated and clean. Since we rent a car, having a assigned parking spot made it easy to come and go as needed. The neighborhood is quiet. The neighbors seem friendly. It was nice to see how many people were out and about with their dogs on the lawn.

The space itself was AMAZING! The rooms, the furniture, the artwork, the vibe. It was comfortable and inviting. My husband loved how it matched our aesthetic. The balcony was a really nice bonus!"
6251,34081645,2015-06-04,33379646,Amanda,Wow! My stay at the loft was perfect! Just to wake up every morning and walk out to the balcony to see the most amazing view! It was also very clean and neat which was comforting considering this was my first stay with airbnb. Fredrick was also very quick to answer all of my questions and left the most detailed instructions so we weren't confused upon our arrival. Also a short uber ride to everything in downtown! If I was ever in Austin again I wouldn't even try to stay anywhere else! 
6251,34318574,2015-06-07,903103,Ian,"Everything we could have asked for! Amazing apartment, very clean and convenient.
"
6251,34958283,2015-06-14,11178059,Jason,"Fred has a great place, in a great location, and provided really thorough info on the loft."
6251,35333950,2015-06-17,1732893,Laura & Andrew,"Great location! Great place! Great second stay!
Thanks Fred!"
6251,38257443,2015-07-14,15426722,Karen,"Frederick has a beautiful Loft apartment and emailed us all the instructions prior to arriving. We travelled here from Ireland as my daughter lived in an apartment close by and was due a baby so we stayed here for 3 weeks. I could not have picked a better first Airbnb experience. The location is fantastic on 6th street, great nightlife too. The loft is close to downtown, about a 25min walk (although it was very hot out) and he even left his bike if we needed it. There was also a car parking space for the loft on the complex if you need to rent a car. The loft has great space, lovely artwork and views of downtown from the large balcony. The tv system is a great, even if we only discovered the apple tv on our second last day! I would highly recommend this loft apartment if you are travelling to Austin, I would book again no problem."
6251,38619345,2015-07-17,1732893,Laura & Andrew,"Frederick is a great host. I have stayed here multiple times and he is very accommodating and flexible. The apartment is awesome, very clean and is in a great location. I will be back;)"
6251,39319392,2015-07-22,37342251,Nicki,"First, Frederick was very helpful with questions & quick to reply. The space was in a great location, very close to most activities & restaurants. Everything functioned well, had ample space, a cool view of the city all at an awesome price! We would recommend this to anyone looking for some Austin fun & we hope to return!"
6251,40369901,2015-07-30,30934704,Victor,"I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Austin for a conference and training workshop at UT Austin (only 7-8 minutes away). The complex is completely safe and friendly. The loft is HUGE, modern, and very comfortable. Along with all the other amenities (cable, wifi, Apple TV) this place was a steal compared to staying at a hotel. Frederick allowed me to check in early and made the process as easy as possible. Frederick is a great host. Thank you and I'd definitely stay here if in Austin."
6251,40793103,2015-08-02,16750410,Robert,Great apartment in an interesting neighborhood. Fred is very responsive to texts and e-mails and the apartment itself is kept in excellent condition.
6251,41538010,2015-08-07,6862365,Janessa,Frederick was accommodating and agreed to host my cousin and I last minute. His space was very clean and  modern. We enjoyed the location very much. The apartment is close to the fun and trendy east 6th street. 
6251,41977741,2015-08-10,37166080,Jennifer,"Fred was so very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. I had never used Airbnb before and this was the best first stay that I could have imagined! He explained everything extremely clearly and helpfully; even if I had any questions after reading his very concise instructions, he was always quick to respond and answered every question thoroughly. As for the place, his loft is VERY spacious and beautifully modern, the perfect place for my few day trip to Austin. Overall, I was very happy with both Frederick and his loft, and I would recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit Austin!  Thank you so much, Fred! :)"
6251,47168870,2015-09-16,35340894,Holly,"I have nothing but positive comments. Communication with Fred was great from the moment we enquired about his place. The space its self is very comfortable, and at the quite end of 6th street. 
I would totally recommend Fred as a host ans his apartment as somewhere to stay. Thanks."
6251,47681213,2015-09-21,8998581,Javier,"Great apartment for a short stay in Austin!  Fred was really responsive with directions and the apartment was exactly as described (and was packed with helpful guide books to make the most of your stay).

Highly recommend."
6251,48755050,2015-09-28,42850301,Daniel,"Excellent host and apartment. My first airbnb experience and will be repeating after this. 

Frederick was always contactable and very open to helping me out. When my flight home was delayed three hours he went out of his way to accommodate me. 

The apartment is perfect, quiet and cool, stylish and central. I didn't bring a car but relied on uber which couldn't have been easier. Everything is close and plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. "
6251,49139195,2015-10-01,43158116,Alex,The house was nice and clean in a nice gated community.  There were plenty of places to go to within walking distance and a few dollar Uber could get me anywhere else.
6251,49432398,2015-10-04,7429605,Erin,Fred was a great host. He checked in to ensure we had what we needed and made some recommendations for local gems. We had a great time and the whole experience was easy and pleasant from start to finish.
6251,49910975,2015-10-07,6607622,John,"Fred went out of his way to allow us to check in early as we were a bit stranded in Austin with our luggage. The place was perfect, very relaxed, spacious, view of downtown Austin, close enough to walk to bars and restaurants and far enough out to be residential and quiet. Really loved this place, had trouble leaving. Oh and there's a fantastic BBQ joint and brewery just steps away!"
6251,50289191,2015-10-11,17310164,Alexandra,"We had a wonderful experience at your place. All instructions were easy to follow, and everything we needed was readily available. We enjoyed your bar/restaurant recommendations and went to a few of them. We really enjoyed Whistler's and Hi-Hat. Also, a new Sushi restaurant opened recently down the road on E 6th (about a mile away headed toward 35. The name is Fukumoto. We ate there Saturday evening and it was wonderful! Fun music and friendly and energetic atmosphere. Love the location of your place! "
6251,50703292,2015-10-13,45402742,Sheryl,"My guy, Kim, and I had to travel to Austin on business.  We discovered Frederick's loft on Airbnb as first time users of the sight.  Frederick was terrific  working with us from start to finish!  He made sure all of our needs were met, and did I mention his place is absolutely gorgeous!  We will definitely be repeat customers!  I  can hardly wait for the next visit!"
6251,52068656,2015-10-26,42925989,Live,Fredrick was beyond helpful and gracious the entire time.  So accommodating!  I'd recommend his place to everyone I know.  He has impeccable taste.  Thank you Fredrick for everything. 
4037944,48744826,2015-09-28,24904749,Kathryn,It was a wonderful and easy experience! Very good location for what we needed!
1885312,28173587,2015-03-19,20429517,Kathleen,"Heather was lovely. She was really helpful and made it a point to give me some tips about the neighborhood. I was in town for SXSW and she let me know what buses might make sense and how long it would take for cars to get to/from downtown. She was very accessible if I had any questions. I would definitely stay here again  and recommend it to others :)

Her home was awesome and the pictures are pretty representative."
4930273,27694577,2015-03-09,26752057,James,"The Austin Log Cabin is definitely the place to stay. Our host Christian was in touch within 30 mins after I requested to book, and the entire process was smooth sailing. Our late arrival was never even an issue. The cabin is private and surrounded by foliage, quiet, and very spacious. All of the bedrooms are excellent in size. The master suite is amazing. A total of five of us stayed and we were never in each others way. And the commute to anything to do in downtown Austin is seriously only minutes away. Christian, thanks for everything. We will definitely be back. 

"
4930273,40980800,2015-08-03,38607374,Rolando,"If you're looking for a place to wash away the hustle and bustle of the work/life balance for a weekend, then look no further.  The area is quiet, the home rustic yet modern, and the deck and backyard made for rest and relaxation.  I strongly recommend this listing and I look forward to staying again in the future!"
4930273,42054550,2015-08-10,38612240,Casey,Fantastic experience! Christian was very accommodating and the house was just as pictured. Not too far from everything and a great escape when we were ready to get out of the city. First time AirBNB user but certainly not the last. Thanks!
2057036,10918182,2014-03-13,1138414,Julia,Ann was a great hostess. She made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The house was clean and very comfortable. The neighborhood is safe and is easy to get to anywhere using the public transportation. We definitely recommend Ann.
2057036,11551459,2014-04-07,1921725,Savio,"I had a great Stay in the house, I felt very comfortable. Also I had a very good start talking to the owner and he was very nice to take me to the Burger Place when I arrived late searching for food.
The flat is as described, very spacious and with great style decorated. Everything what is needed was there and also the kitchen was well stuffed. 

I can recommand the flat and would go there again."
2057036,28117885,2015-03-18,22400506,Shauna,"Great neighborhood - the flat was perfect! Anne is gracious host, she even had the lights turned on when I messaged that my flight was getting in late. I will definite stay there again."
2057036,30315355,2015-04-20,22728969,Alexandra,"We love this airbnb! My boyfriend and I travel to Austin fairly frequently, but we had never stayed in the Zilker area. The neighborhood is tree-lined and beautiful, the space is cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and Ann provided a great list of places to eat, drink and explore. Very close to Barton Springs  and Zilker Park. Just a short trip to South Congress. Perfect location for us. As mentioned in the post, it's an older home, so we could hear people walking above, but it didn't bother us! "
2057036,30797023,2015-04-27,1306872,Nancy,"We had a great stay. Nice little place near lots of good restaurants and activities for the weekend. Easy check in and out, and beautiful porch for an evening glass of wine."
2057036,31986048,2015-05-12,32049051,Ralph,"Our host, Ann Giles, was easily accessible by text.  We had to contact her with a question when we arrived on site and she returned our text with the information we needed immediately.  Then, as we walked through the door there was a cute little crate on the table filled with amenities and local information.  The apartment was clean and cute.  We chose this site because of its proximity to our daughter who lives in Austin.  We were within walking distance to her in a very quiet neighborhood.  This apartment had a private patio that felt secluded.  We couldn't have picked a better location or apartment.  I contacted Ann a few times with questions and she was always immediate with her feedback and very considerate.  She helped us to feel welcome and comfortable.  This location is also close to anything we needed - restaurants, groceries, ice cream...............  We would definitely stay there again if we were welcome.  We visit our daughter and her family in Austin a few times every year."
2057036,32300964,2015-05-16,33274035,Konrad,We loved the neighborhood. The house was pretty easy to find. Our space was extremely comfortable with a lot of natural light and a very at home feel. Ann was very easy going and helpful for our first Airbnb experience. We plan to return and visit this property again. 
2057036,33121633,2015-05-25,2188737,Jodie,Loved staying here! The place is perfect and Ann is a wonderful host. Highly recommend it. 
2057036,37408151,2015-07-06,36374656,Eden,"Great stay! Loved the courtyard. 
House was so cozy and well appointed. Wonderful neighborhood to walk through with winding streets. 
Love older homes since we live in one back home- 
Great character"
2057036,38069463,2015-07-12,37692997,Cordy,"With a prompt response and thorough instructions, our Host made our visit to Austin pleasurable and smooth.  Although the photos are telling of the unit, they don't convey the coziness and soul for the property.  For my husband and myself visiting our son who attends UT, the unit was just right, except we would have like to have had our two Labs join us. The beautifully stained concrete floors would have been a breeze to clean up with the equipment that is supplied. (Hardly a complaint,really)  Our stay here was pleasant, comfortable and secure.  We are so glad our son found you on airbnb."
2057036,38321183,2015-07-14,35609072,Nicole,"The Urban Hideaway is simply fantastic.  We asked Ann for both an earlier check-in and later check out and she could not have been more gracious about both.  The flat is absolutely lovely.  Very private feeling and in a lovely leafy area for strolling around, yet close enough to the action of Austin that you aren't spending precious moments in the car.  Highly recommend."
2057036,39883795,2015-07-26,13746448,Juliet,The location was comfortable and fantastic!
2057036,46050634,2015-09-07,7244729,Chelsea,"Ann was very responsive and helpful. She always got back to me very quickly! The neighborhood is cute, and the house is a bike ride away from Barton Spring and Zilker park. Great location if you are looking to bike around, a little bit far for a walk. Overall great place! "
2057036,50430495,2015-10-12,21641453,Lauren,"Stayed here for ACL and we loved our weekend here! The place was adorable, exactly as pictured. Would love to stay here again when we have more time to visit the restaurants/bars noted in the adorable book left for us! Really enjoyed spending the mornings on the lovely patio.

Thanks so much for having us!"
1408231,7493019,2013-09-22,7717835,Chris,"Ike has a wonderful clean, secure, and friendly lodging. He was very accommodating. I will use him again when down visiting family. I would recommend his place to anyone.  "
1408231,8633066,2013-11-09,3805454,John,"Ike and the Yellow Room were great. Ike was a very laid back and welcoming host who was happy to explain all of the neat high tech features of his home.  The home has classy decor and the softest sheets ever. My only real regret is that my schedule didn't allow for me to enjoy a soak in the massively deep bathtub. 

If you are looking for party central, you might want to keep looking, but if you want a quiet room in an upscale townhome with many features to help you unwind with no drama, I recommend this place. "
1408231,8803614,2013-11-18,3805454,John,Second time was as good as the first. 
1408231,8891777,2013-11-24,10012547,Daniel,"Beautiful home in North Austin.  Ike was very friendly and courteous; he made sure I had everything I needed when I got there, and checked up on me throughout the week.  It was a quiet relaxing house to go back to after a long day.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay!"
1408231,10420567,2014-02-18,10039588,Caroline,"Ike was awesome. Not only was he hospitable he was fun to be around. His place had every you need, hangers, dresser, desk to work, even a TV. He was very accommodating. I was working downtown Austin and it didn't take more than 30 minutes to get to work. "
1408231,10626624,2014-02-28,11939907,Zyad,Ike is helpful and well organized person. his house is very clean and tidy. I enjoyed my stay with him and recommend it. 
1408231,10750234,2014-03-05,5872247,Sally,Wonderful accomadations and a very good host. Ike is a generous and kind person. I was in Austin for 5 nights and truly enjoyed my stay and was fortunate to find this place because it is a great value. I would recommend it highly. 
1408231,11050161,2014-03-18,5267253,Viktor,"Ike's a great host! I've seen hotels that did worse! Everything's been taken care of. Especially the blue room leaves almost no wish unfulfilled. The neighborhood is nice and friendly and everything one might need is pretty close by. So over all a great place with a great guy that is really into it!
I had a chance to see the yellow room as well and can tell you, both are at a high standard.
I definitely consider staying with Ike again and highly recommend him and his place! "
1408231,15210748,2014-07-05,12639632,Thomas,"Ike has been very accommodating. You can tell from the rooms he has a passion for hosting. My experience staying with Ike has been a pleasure. Thanks, Ike!"
1408231,28170883,2015-03-19,9257963,Kazuyo,"I was totally right by choosing Ike's place to enjoy SXSW. It was a fantastic stay!

The room was perfect. Very clean and cute exactly like a picture! Bathroom and living room were clean and comfortable as well. Somehow the entire house smells so good! There were small lights at porch and corridor so even if I came back very late, I felt safe and welcomed.

Ike was so kind that he brought me to near place to find a prepaid SIM. His communication via message was so smooth. Ike was always caring.

This is a place I recommend everybody. A bit far from downtown (20min drive or 30min with traffic) but I would rather choose better place with higher value for money by driving additional 5min."
1408231,34072324,2015-06-04,31938902,Angel,"I was really glad to spend this time with Ike. Really polite and respectul guy. Easy going, always looking for the way to help you and available when I faced any problem. The house and the room is amazing and fully equiped, like pictures show. Nice pool, barbecue and neighbourhood. I only can say thank you to Ike for this time. I hope to met him again since I'm living in Austin. According to my experience, I truly recommend this room and his owner."
1408231,43596814,2015-08-20,9862831,Daivat,The room and the house are exactly like in the pictures. The room is very well decorated and also has a huge flatscreen TV. Ike was very prompt to respond to  any communication and was very helpful throughout the stay. Ike is great to talk to and is very accomodating. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin. This place was the best furnished of all the trips I have taken using Airbnb. 
1408231,49825697,2015-10-06,9163130,Méline,"Ike was a really great host, easy to communicate with. We arrived pretty late in Austin and everything was prepared for our arrival and very clean. You got to have a car to get there though. 
Nice stay, Thanks Ike.

5075929,28083541,2015-03-17,27496193,Jasmine,"The home was spacious and clean, beds were comfortable, and we really enjoyed the firepit in the large garden. Good for a large group because of the separate rooms, plus the 2 full bathrooms and an additional WC. Plenty of social space to dine or hangout.

Felipe was great, very responsive to all the messages I sent, and really helpful. Home is in a residential area, but close to downtown Austin."
5075929,28469219,2015-03-24,11802561,Samuel,"Felipe was a great host! Check in/out was a breeze and he was very accommodating. Great house to stay, close by the 35 freeway to get into the city and a few min drive to South Congress - would stay again for sure."
5075929,29937340,2015-04-14,10931593,Dennis,"House was located close to Austin in nice neighbourhood, felipe was great and wehad no problem getting in out with keyless entry.   The house inside was clean and had plenty of clean towels.  The backyard was huge  and kitchen was clean and new.  It was an easy tay with no surprises or problems."
5075929,30333042,2015-04-20,29132082,Chris,"This is a great sized, well-appointed house.  Felipe was a very gracious and accommodating host.    The bedrooms, one downstairs and three up, were comfortable.  Each had a queen sized bed with an extra futon in the fourth bedroom upstairs.   The patio space and very green back yard were quite enjoyable in the mornings.  The location was good and it was only a very short drive to anything you could want to do in Austin.  This is a great space for larger groups.  My entire group of six could not have been more pleased with the accommodations.    "
5075929,30793982,2015-04-27,21746147,Leran,"Felipe was great. He was not in town, but gave a very thorough tour of the house via phone and was very quick to respond via text. The house was great overall. Nice patio and well stocked. 

I'm only give the house 4 stars for some nit picky things. One can't be controlled, the location is very convenient to downtown and south congress if you plan to use a car or like using Lyft, but otherwise isn't in the most touristy location. But the cost is good so if you have a car it's a good deal. 

Also, the house generally was clean and in great shape, but if you look under beds and in some corners it could be cleaner. Totally a nit picky think and it wasn't dirty enough to prevent me from staying there again, but if you have bad allergies or insist on a clean rental just know this is about 90% clean. 

Lastly, the master bed room had an extremely uncomfortable feather top bed and feather pillows. My fiance and I had a hard time sleeping on it. Again it's a detail, but something to be aware of. "
5075929,33265001,2015-05-26,31282955,Megan,"We reserved the house for Memorial Day weekend for a reunion of old friends.  Felipe was incredibly generous and thorough in a telephone walk-through. The house had plenty of space to accommodate our large group including a screened-in porch and spacious back yard. The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown. Despite the constant rain, this was a weekend to remember!  Thank you Felipe for your hospitality! "
5075929,40759822,2015-08-02,30707889,Albert,Felipe was welcoming. The neighborhood is a bit further from downtown Austin than we thought. The house was very spacious and well maintained. Everything we needed was in the house.
5075929,47854785,2015-09-21,19747958,Rob,The place is a place for a big group like ours was. The host was really responsive to anything we needed or questions we had. Location was just a few mins to downtown Austin. Perfect for what we needed. 
5075929,48809894,2015-09-28,43084856,Stephanie,"The house was very spacious and Felipe was very helpful with restaurant recommendations. He forgot to send us the to do list before we checked out and the house was a bit dusty in the corners but besides that we had a good stay! Wouldn't mind staying there again, perfect for a big group of people "
5075929,49761018,2015-10-06,12796567,Chris,"This place was perfect for our ACL fest group trip. There were eight of us and we all had our own rooms. Nobody felt crowded so there's lots of space with a big backyard to enjoy the evening if you wish. It's also very close to dt Austin, South Congress, Zilker Park, Rainey which were all visited. Quick, cheap Uber (unless after the festival let out). Most places were only a couple of miles away. Felipe left the house very clean and even had it stocked with some cold beers that were very much enjoyed. He was available when needed and was even flexible with us about our check out time. I'd def recommend this listing to any others looking for a place to crash while exploring the great city of Austin."
5075929,50620477,2015-10-13,21359759,Kristen,"Felipe was a great host, and even though he was traveling, was very responsive and there when I needed him.  Walked me through the ins and outs of the house on my first day and helped make our trip to Austin great! "
5075929,52205612,2015-10-27,9354762,Rush,"Felipe has been a good host, even though we never saw him, he made sure to do a telephone walk through for us. The house is located south of the river near the highway, which makes it a 5-10 min drive to downtown Austin. It is a big house with 4 bedrooms so it can fit about 6-8 people. When we arrived we did find few dirty dishes stocked away but it is no big deal. There was a TV but it has no cable, again we were rarely inside for us to really care about that. Some of the bulbs need to be replaced and  a little upkeep needs to be done but All in all for the price it was a good place. We thank you and hope to stay again if we visit Austin."
6043511,33043673,2015-05-24,33738494,Paul,"The place was even nicer than advertised. The instructions provided made it easy to get into the place, access the internet, and everything else needed. The place was very clean and organized. It is a great place if you are visiting Austin. Close to downtown and easy access to the highway. The neighborhood wasn't the nicest, but it was fine for our stay. We would definitely recommend this place. "
6043511,35521130,2015-06-19,22894478,Michael,"This place is amazing if you're looking for a clean, spacious place with excellent access to both downtown and East Austin.  I personally abhor nicknacks and what not, thusly, I was happy to find an eclectic, minimalist vibe that I found to be very comforting.  It also boasts a wonderful view from the balcony and floor-to-cieling windows, modern appliances and cookware and endless lighting combinations.
Johnny was an efficient host despite being out of town and graciously forgave me loosing one of the keys.  
Cool cat, cool joint.   "
6043511,36209018,2015-06-26,3407269,Wayne,I love your spot!!!! Such a wonderful loft to feel like a king!!
6043511,37369785,2015-07-06,12783275,Sophie,"Johnny's condo is just as great as the images if not better. Amazing location in East Austin and within walking or biking distance from all the best areas, bars and restaurants. The space itself is beautiful. Really open and modern and so much space! The bed is comfortable and the  blinds make the room really dark for a great sleep. The balcony is great  to sit on and have afternoon drinks and because we visited in summer the air con was perfect! Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for comfort as well as location! Thanks for a great stay in Austin. "
6043511,37803438,2015-07-10,138601,Cailin,"We had a fantastic time in Johnny's loft; the view into downtown is gorgeous from this place is gorgeous. Check in was very easy and the apartment was very clean, cool and spacious. Would definitely recommend this place for your next trip to Austin. "

6043511,38909092,2015-07-19,35014586,Brennan,"This was our favorite place to stay on a recent 10-day trip to Austin. We stayed in two other apartments, but they didn't compare—the views, the location, and the interior space here were great. Johnny was quick to respond and I'd definitely stay here again."
6043511,40279992,2015-07-29,38613787,Ralph,"Johnny's place is totally awesome. I would stay in this ultra cool pad again - and intend to do so. Clean, open, airy, great view, comfy bed...all the amenities - it was perfect. The neighborhood is full of great coffee shops, restaurants and a market right across the street. What could be better? Johnny was a great host to boot."
6043511,40785377,2015-08-02,12134115,Pedro,Access and location were critical on our trip and Johnny made it super easy for us.  The loft layout was ideal and our host definitely took pride in his space.  We were very comfortable and would definitely stay again when we come back to Austin.
6043511,43107298,2015-08-17,651125,Fleur,"Johnny was a great communicator and getting into the apartment was super easy with a lock box combination.

The apartment is beautiful, clean, comfortable and quiet despite being very centrally located. 

Thanks so much Johnny for letting me stay at your place. I loved Austin and hope to be back."
6043511,44989852,2015-08-30,24330368,Tommy,"Everything in this condo was great!  Very clean and bright.  Everything that I needed for my 4 night stay was there and ready.  No problems what so ever and Johnny checked in sporadically to ensure that everything was going well.  Austin is awesome, as is this condo!"
6043511,45746561,2015-09-05,43041500,Bee,"Great location , beautiful and comfortable. The place is top notch modern , clean, and host gave easy details of instructions for access. Will definitely book again . "
6043511,46148308,2015-09-08,38515796,Thomas,Awesome place in a cool part of town. Would definitely come back!
6043511,47378204,2015-09-18,39288735,Haig,"Johnny was an amazing host! The apartment was just like the pictures, a spacious beautiful space in the heart of downtown Austin. Everything one would need was provided for and Johnny made it easy to check in and out. I would recommend this space to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin. Communication was immediate and everything went smoothly. Thanks for the stay!"
6043511,48364407,2015-09-25,20511736,Thomas,"Great host, his place was amazing and just as described. Clean, convenient and great views. Would absolutely recommend!"
6043511,48746766,2015-09-28,42793343,Samantha,"Johnny was a great host and made it really easy for us to get in and get settled. He gave us some great restaurant recommendations and was kind enough to check in on us in the morning to make sure we had everything we needed. The one thing to note about this place is the location. The neighborhood is definitely ""up and coming"" so when we arrived late on a Friday night, there were some interesting people wandering around. It was fine for my husband and I, but I'm not sure how I would feel if it was just me and a girlfriend. Otherwise amazing apartment and a great host. We would definitely go back!"
6043511,49071649,2015-09-30,721568,Eric,Johnny's apartment is great! Awesome location with a very nice view of the downtown skyline. I'd definitely stay here again!
6043511,49796234,2015-10-06,11512032,Shawn,"Johnny's place looks better in person....far exceeded our expectations. The place was clean and modern and what a view of the city. The place is at the base of 6th street, an easy walk to all the bars and restaurants of this famous Austin strip. Johnny was in contact with us prior to our stay and during to ask us if we needed anything and if there was anything he could do to improve on our experience. Great host and great place.....highly recommend it. Shawn & Rachel"
6043511,50101899,2015-10-09,44201701,Tony,"Awesome experience! Great apartment and location. I highly recommend this place. Johnny is an excellent host, very attentive and accommodating. Three thumbs up!"
6043511,50468846,2015-10-12,10851887,Jonathan,"What can I say...this place was absolutely perfect for my 1st trip to Austin with my gf for ACL.

1st off, the location was awesome.  Just steps away from the hussle and bussle of 6th street but far enough to be quiet and not hear bands playing all night. 

2nd, its a few steps away from some great eats!! Another main reason I wanted to visit is the food. 

Franklins - 7 min walk. La Barbeque - 4 min drive. Multiple food trucks and eating spots just a block away. We had something new everytime. I hate chain restaurants. And a small grocery store and gas stations incase u need a quick snack.

3rd, the place was just as the pictures showed it. There are 2 bathrooms so I could put my bathroom supplies in the 2nd bathroom and give my gf the whole counter space. Extremely spacious living room and dinig room. Porch facing south with a great view of the city.  Also a rain shower every night can't be too bad... Johnny's style throughout his apartment is impeccable, modern yet simplistic. He has cable? No one ever has cable!!! I got to watch my football games Sunday!!!

4th, parking. As with all big cities, parking is always a big expense. Johnny has a private gated lot to park your car for free while you explore the city. WOW that was super convenient and probably saved us about 60 to 80 dollars in parking for ACL since we could walk to the free ACL shuttles.

5th, Checking in was super easy and secure. Building was easy to find and easy to access. Even for a 1st timer to Austin like me.

Basically we had a great time staying here and will probably alway seek this place out when i travel to Austin again. Thanks Johnny."
6043511,50961600,2015-10-16,736153,James,"Johnny's apartment was beautiful, close to downtown and very comfortable. He was a attentive host, checking in once I arrived and even provided dinner recommendations. It's very likely I'd book his place again, as I am in Austin for work quite a bit. I highly recommend. "
6043511,51293114,2015-10-19,6448317,Jen,"This condo is a fantastic place to stay in Austin, especially if you want to check out the food and drink scene. In particular, I really enjoyed Pueblo Viejo, a taco truck right across the street that does the best breakfast tacos I've ever had. The condo is also beautiful with lots of light and stylish furniture (just like in the pictures), and I appreciated the small details like nice shampoo/soap. Johnny was super responsive and check-in was very smooth."
6043511,51599080,2015-10-21,24584740,Jennifer,"I traveled to Austin for work and couldn't get a hotel so I booked Johnny's place a day before my arrival.  He was quick to respond to the booking and gave me all the info I needed to find the apartment, park, and get in.  The apartment was immaculate, quiet (despite being right next to I-35), and spacious.  The bed was comfortable, and the shower was great.  I  brought my own hair dryer (wasn't sure there was one there since this is a male host) and bought my own coffee (some hosts leave that for you) but other than that, everything was there at the apartment.

I agree with another reviewer that this location may not be for everyone. The building faces East 6th Street, which is a great neighborhood, but one side of the building faces the back of a Burger King, which attracts homeless and other folks that camp out nearby under the I-35 overpass.  That said, I never felt unsafe, it's just you can expect that at night, or very early in the morning, you will may encounter some homeless as there is a homeless camp under the I-35 overpass nearby.  The parking lot is gated and very secure.  

I loved the location as it was close to great yoga studios, food trucks, and downtown.  I'd stay here again!."
3686862,20014232,2014-09-22,16885441,Ryan,Erica was very helpful in getting us an early check in time and late check out time. Very quick in responding to emails.
3686862,20303376,2014-09-27,3312517,Megan,The place was awesome! We were able to check in early and it was very easy to get in touching with them about questions. They were so kind and the place is beautiful and had an amazing pool. The location was great. We were near the downtown area. There is a great whole foods near by! We really really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this to anyone.
3686862,20897905,2014-10-07,6094313,Tim,"Had a great long weekend in this house. Perfect for a weekend with a group of friends. 
Nice appliances, comfortable beds, clean house, awesome back yard. 
Erica and the turnkey crew were extremely responsive and very informative. "
3686862,23398688,2014-11-30,23793350,Jonathan,"Lovely home. Great location, easy access to the highway. My family and I had a great stay and especially enjoyed having a full kitchen and an outdoor dining area as the weather was beautiful."
3686862,25192469,2015-01-08,4941957,Isaac,The reservation was canceled 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3686862,25590682,2015-01-20,4512655,Joshua,Great house that was clean when we arrived. A perfect place to spend the weekend in a large group. Very easy to get to downtown. 
3686862,34871619,2015-06-13,17037993,Virginia,"The house was beautiful and great location. We had several issues with home that were not show stoppers, but any new reservations should call the 800 number if they experience any issues. We did not call because I didn't understand that they could have come immediately to fix all the issues. I would absolutely stay there again. Perfect for all needs."
3686862,40397827,2015-07-30,39465621,Rex,"Neighborhood was nice, accurate info. "
3686862,47026874,2015-09-15,7799479,Allison,I was very pleased with the house and pool.  It was located in a good part of town but pretty much on a highway so the traffic getting in and out of driveway was challenging.  Overall it didn't negativley effect our stay.  The backyard was very private and nice.  Perfect for our fun girls trip to Austin.  
3686862,50614147,2015-10-13,32710539,Matthew,"Great house, very well furnished. I was at first hesitant about renting from a rental company and not a real person but this rental went very smoothly. Some of the nice-to-haves like the grill and the gas fire pit ended up not being functional but the bedrooms, bathrooms and common spaces were all well furnished and clean. Would definitely rent from TurnKey again. "
1623262,11008610,2014-03-17,11918193,Ani,Amazing house. A must-stay for anyone going to Austin for anything. Amy is one of the most welcoming people you'll ever meet!
5354062,37387457,2015-07-06,36394154,Alicia,Beautiful home and great location! The host was VERY responsive and welcoming. The front and back porches were great with lots of space in the backyard. The beds were also super comfortable.  We would definitely stay here again. The price was one of the best for the size of the house and location. The host shared with us his favorite coffee and it was delicious. 
5354062,43093800,2015-08-17,37223587,Andrea,"Zach's place was amazing.  Completely comfortable with everything we needed for a fantastic vacation!  I particularly loved the coffee, huge patio and the grill.  Zach was a few time zones away and still made time to check on us to make sure everything was okay.  If I'm ever in Austin again, I'll be checking in with Zach to see if his place is available.  Right price too!"
5354062,50617844,2015-10-13,20311729,Shairy,"Loved, Loved, Loved EVERYTHING about this place!  I traveled to Austin, TX with a few friends to the ACL music festival and when we found this listing on Airbnb we knew we found a gem! The price was affordable compared to the jacked up hotel prices in downtown and it was an easy 10-15 minute Uber ride to Zilker Park where we spent most of our time. 

The interior is spacious, polished and upgraded, the pictures really do not do enough justice.  Zach left clear instructions on when and how to gain access and went above and beyond to let us in a little earlier due to travel arrangements.  He stayed readily available via text for any questions or concerns (which we didn't have any).  The house came complete with essentials like shampoo and conditioner (tough to travel with) and fresh linens & towels, even the beds were incredibly comfortable.  Zach was even generous with delicious coffee and some craft beer he had in the fridge. It was a great welcome surprise after a full day of traveling and essential for the mornings! 

The biggest selling point for us was the amazing unique deck in the back which we spent our mornings and evenings on. It was a great place for us to plan the upcoming day and recap what we did the day prior.  The twinkle lights adds a magical element to the experience! 

The neighborhood was quaint with other cute bungalows and was very accessible to shops and restaurants and major streets to get you to where you need to go! Please check the mexican place on the corner, chicken tortilla soup like NO OTHER! Lots of other cool coffee shops nearby. 

Finally, on the day we checked out my flight was not scheduled to leave until later that afternoon and I wanted to enjoy the day and explore Austin a bit more.  Zach was flexible and allowed me to leave my large luggage in the house so as to not have to lug it around. I stopped by the house on my way to the airport to pick up my belongings. This was completely unexpected and not necessary, but speaks to the lengths that Zach goes above and beyond for his guests!

Again, we were super pleased and highly recommend anyone to stay here if traveling to Austin, TX. Thank you Zach!!"
5354062,52209513,2015-10-27,33402348,Chris,Myself and 3 friends stayed at Zachs place for F1 2015.  When we arrived it was super easy to get in and the place was nice and clean.  Decor was exactly what I like in my own house.  Very homey and a pleasant place to be.  Unfortunately we stay Ed in the middle of a hurricane so we didn't get to take advantage of the awesome deck... Location was super convenient 10 minutes from the airport/track and 10 minutes from down town.  Was super easy to get down to Rainey st and explore.  10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend.  Thanks for the awesome place for the weekend!
6767570,41781031,2015-08-09,36651234,Harm,"This location is conveniently located within walking distance from the Harry Ransom Center where I worked for a month. The room is comfortable, air-conditioned, and sheets are regularly changed. The bathroom is clean and towels are amply provided. The wifi works perfect.

The owners are nice and inviting, and do wish to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately I had to work most of the time and could not participate in all of the spontaneous social gatherings. If you are on a holiday and look for a bohemien experience close to downtown Austin or UT, you should certainly go to this place. If you need quiet during the nights because of work, then this is not the best place. Most nights were perfectly silent, but some nights (during the work week) were not due to loud music and talking. To be fair, the place was also not advertised as 100% quiet, and the degree of social activity in the evenings probably also depends on the bnb-visitors in the other room. "
6767570,42588507,2015-08-14,9909029,Céline,The room was cosy and had plenty of AC and lighting. Nice chaise longue to relax on too. The animals were fun to be around and everyone in the house were great!
6767570,45940987,2015-09-07,7537324,Chris & Robin,"The ""green room"" was excellent.  A super comfy bed with a big frame, a large sofa, and a fan and a/c unit.   Couldn't have been happier.  I highly recommend it."
6767570,46414283,2015-09-10,41768093,Kirt,"The room was excellent! A beautiful and very convenient location for downtown Austin. The host was extremely helpful and made the entire experience enjoyable.. I would definitely recommend staying here, if ever in the same situation."
6767570,47517866,2015-09-19,42855318,Ed,Very good location within easy walking distance to the hotel district area and campus. We walked everywhere and never needed to drive the entire stay. Everyone there was extremely friendly and welcoming. Comfortable environment and never felt strange coming or going at late hours. 
6767570,47671538,2015-09-21,10062052,Leo,"James' place was definitely a good value.  My wife and I came to Austin for a football game (Go Bears!) so we really only slept and showered there.  While James and his friends seemed really nice, we didn't interact a whole lot with them.  Other places in the area were a lot pricier for sure.  The location here was good for going to the stadium and hanging out around 6th street.  "
6767570,48346825,2015-09-25,34002176,Leland,"James' place was perfectly located for my stay in Austin. I would recommend going to Arturo's for coffee and Clay Pit for dinner, both an easy walk!  My hosts were respectful of my space and quick to get anything i needed."
6767570,48879559,2015-09-29,6457999,Kiera,"This is what I would call a ""living house."" It always had a ton of activity and people in and out. It seems like stuff moves around pretty regularly here. The pictures are completely foreign to me except for the kitchen and bathroom. At one point, I think a couch was moved out of the room we were staying in and replaced with a different couch? I saw about 5 or so new faces (all very friendly) everyday it felt like. So like I said, the house is very alive.

The location was really convenient if you intend on exploring Austin as a whole. My SO and I were all over the place, so this was a good home base for us. The metered parking wasn't so bad (we got a rental car), we probably paid for about 3 hours/day here and there to for the times we were at the house. It's a $1/hour, so it's not too bad to park on the street. I really wouldn't plan on parking in the space next to the kitchen, it's a tight fit space for 3 cars.

The blue cat was my first friend in Austin. He checked on us about once a day and was generally a very pleasant host. I was bit once, but I knew it was playful and I didn't think he was being rude. Crazy blue cat was kind and regularly inspected our space to make sure it was comfortable. He even checked to make sure the floors weren't too slippery by running back and forth on everything. I appreciated this top-notch attention to detail as my shoes sometimes lack traction. His anticipation of this proved bluecat to be a great host. 

This house has a few quirks, but was really a fine place to come back to at the end of the day."
6767570,49593449,2015-10-05,7537324,Chris & Robin,James is a wonderful host.  So friendly and welcoming.   He had towels laid out in the room ready for our use and made sure we were comfortable.  Great place to stay every time I am in town.
6767570,51104766,2015-10-17,25704029,John-Paul,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The trailer was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Really, just an amazing trip. I Highly recommend this set up to anyone looking for a place right by where all the action is in Austin!"
5820783,29537851,2015-04-08,8902039,Mikah,"Adam was great! We were getting into Austin really late, but he still met us when we got to the location. He gave us a tour of the Airstream, showed us how everything worked, and let us know that he would be available to recommend things if we'd like. Super friendly, awesome neighborhood and location. "
5820783,29700774,2015-04-11,4056701,Josh,The airstream was exactly what we hoped it would be.  It was clean and well appointed.  It is situated in a great neighborhood.  We had a blast in Austin.  Adam left a comprehensive welcome packet.  This was an easy place to stay.  Adam even mailed us some items that we left behind!  Thanks!
5820783,30332501,2015-04-20,15785484,Tracy,"Adam and Traci have a charming Airstream, in an amazing location in Barton Springs. The space is just right for a couple, we never felt cramped. There is a lot of storage, and places to tuck everything out of the way. The wifi doesn't work in the airstream but we weren't in Austin to sit inside and be online!  "
5820783,30800440,2015-04-27,5289153,Ashley,"Great location, safe neighborhood, nice host. Had a great time :)"
5820783,31010423,2015-04-30,24675845,Gabriel,The stay was great. Adam's place was perfect for wondering the city. My wife and I walked to downtown and then to Rainey street and took an uber back. The next day we walked over to Congress street and Ziller park. The place is on the middle off all of it.  The neighborhood hood is neat because it has a lot of new modern construction along with the old neighborhood. It reminds me of LAs Silverlake and Venice neighborhoods. Overall a nice stay if you have ever slept in a camper before. 
5820783,31334035,2015-05-04,29465541,Shannon,"My husband and I came to Austin for a little getaway and had a wonderful time! The airstream was located in an amazing neighborhood on Adam's property next to his equally amazing house. The trailer was pretty much what we expected, and it had all the basic amenities you would need. The wifi didn't work in the trailer or even too well outside, which we didn't care about, but just be aware if this is something you are depending on. 
The location was great for going downtown or even hitting up one of the many great nearby spots. We met Adam and his wife Traci and they were welcoming and offered some great suggestions on where to go. 
We would recommend staying here for a fun and unique Austin experience!"
5820783,31906890,2015-05-11,3715430,Lindsay,"Adam and his family were very welcoming and accommodating. I arrived  late at night but due to the fact that the airstream is its own entity, I could easily enter without disturbing anyone. The neighborhood was very safe kind of tucked in an area that did not have much traffic. It was also very close to everywhere I wanted to go. When I wasn't driving, it was very easy to walk or Uber around. It's a beautiful area and the Airstream is in great condition - I highly recommend! "
5820783,33369081,2015-05-27,19696352,Kana,Adam was phenomenal. He is truly dedicated to your positive experience. He was very accessible for everything I needed and provided quick answers and assistance for all my questions and issues. I will be back in Austin and will be staying in one of Adam's properties again.   
5820783,34741230,2015-06-11,34052311,Debbie,The airstream was a cozy space for 2 people with the amenities of home. Nice deck with table and chairs to enjoy the outdoors. The owner was very attentive to our needs and helpful in giving us suggestions for restaurants and activities when asked. 
5820783,36069362,2015-06-24,15603395,Marty,"Adam was a good host.  He sent me  a text msg letting me know that the Airstream was clean and ready early.  He did a good job of explaining where to find the key and where to park in the text msg.  When we arrived he came by to see if there was anything that we wanted to know about his neighborhood.  If we needed anything all we needed to do was text Adam and it magically appeared.

The neighborhood is located very convenient to restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.  Trader Joe is a 20 minute walk.  Whole Foods is 25 minutes away.  There is easy access to miles and miles of beautiful nature walks by the river.  Boat and bike rental is very convenient.

The Airstream was a very interesting experience.  We were there for two nights.  It was a lot of fun and a learning experience.  The neighborhood is quiet and there is a nice place to sit and listen to the birds.  The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was adequate with sufficient hot water.

Despite comments by others about the lack of adequate wi-fi we found that there was a very strong signal.  It appeared that a new router had been added in the Airstream."
5820783,36376738,2015-06-28,30610078,Edui,We enjoyed our stay and the neighborhood was very quiet and safe.
5820783,37192558,2015-07-05,12578135,Casey,"Perfect! Great location, gracious host. We felt very at home in the trailer and would love to visit again. "
5820783,37790587,2015-07-10,8383197,Eric,"What better way to visit Austin than to stay in a classic Airstream, in a great neighborhood, in the center of everything that defines Austin.   One night I went for a run around Town Lake, had dinner at a cool restaurant on S. Lamar and I didn't even need to drive.   

The Airstream is fully equipped, very comfortable and has a great little deck outside to relax.  I couldn't believe there was even an iron and board which I needed to use because I had business meetings. 

Adam was very responsive to my questions.  Thanks Adam!"
5820783,39096256,2015-07-20,38040089,Stephanie,"This was my first air bnb experience, and it was better than I could ace hoped. The Airstream was perfect for me and my small dog (a Puggle). Fast wifi, excellent air conditioning and the hosts Adam and Tracy were friendly and helpful while respecting my privacy. I loved everything about this experience ... Goodbye hotels!"
5820783,39463614,2015-07-23,37827587,Jon,"Loved our stay with Adam, airtstream was clean and cozy and in a great location that was very very quiet. "
5820783,39663820,2015-07-25,36007661,Mary,"How fun to stay in an Airstream.  We were so comfortable and this was the perfect location for the three of us and our dog. The airstream includes Fast Internet and Great Air conditioning and even a hair dryer.  Adam and Tracy were so welcoming and kind.  

The location is Perfect.  We walked to Zilker park with our dog for some off leash time for him and out walk took us past a great juice bar and a strip of great restaurants and Food Trucks. We swam at Barton Springs which is within walking distance or just a few minutes by car.  We also visited SOCO area, whole foods, and Alamo Draft House which are all very close by. 

Staying in an airstream paired with this incredible location makes Adams place a must for Austin visitors and I plan to return."
5820783,40066023,2015-07-27,2995685,Natalie,Our stay in Adam's airstream was one of the most unique and pleasant of our entire cross-country road trip. We had plenty of room for two adults and a small dog in the clean and modern trailer. Adam provided excellent recommendations for dog friendly activities and amazing food. Would highly recommend!
5820783,40293454,2015-07-29,1497244,Juliette,"Great, unique place to stay in a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood. Walking distance to Uchi! We appreciated the stylish decor, cleanliness and functionality of the airstream. The bed (and the bedding) was comfortable, and the ""front room"" was nice to hang out in. Thanks for providing such a great option in Austin!"
5820783,40839944,2015-08-02,5561496,Tim,Adam was an excellent host. The place is nice and the location is outstanding. 
5820783,41871281,2015-08-09,40210926,Brad,"We had an excellent stay in Adam's property.

We couldn't have asked for a better location, or a better Austin experience. 

We will definitely stay here again."
5820783,42467503,2015-08-13,39940332,Connor,"We had an incredible stay in the Hillmont Airstream! My wife and I could not have asked for anything more. It was so close to everything we wanted to do but so incredibly quiet and peaceful. Adam was sub an incredible host, chatting with us when we first arrived about where to go eat and some activities to do. We had our bikes with us and it made the stay really easy, I would highly suggest renting bikes while in town and staying here. We are absolutely going to be back and will certainly be looking to stay here again. "
5820783,43135912,2015-08-17,9349531,Phoebe,"Terrific neighborhood, awesome deck that's great for hanging out with guests, and plenty of room for us and our baby in this fun Airstream! The kitchen is somehow almost the size of ours at home, too. And the AC is as good as promised-- we stayed in 100-degree weather and were very comfortable. Perfect place to stay in Austin."
5820783,43690817,2015-08-21,13240188,Blythe,The host is very welcoming and I had a wonderful stay in the airstream. It was very spatious and well decorated. 
5820783,44962215,2015-08-30,19108740,Ashley,Great weekend stay in Austin. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but still close enough to walk places. Friendly yet unobtrusive host family who gave some great recommendations. 
5820783,45718608,2015-09-05,4456437,Elisabeth,"Host was very friendly and welcoming. Description was accurate, although the bed for the third person was a thin and narrow pad used as the couch, but it was fine. Shower was great, bed was comfortable. Neighborhood was great. Most of our destinations were blocks away. Easy, shady parking was available right outside the airstream the whole time. Loved hanging outside on the deck with friends after our kid was asleep. "
5820783,46080901,2015-09-07,25600728,Cara,Adam left an information packet that explained the ins and outs of the Airstream. This was very helpful. 
5820783,46728886,2015-09-13,39550242,Christina,Great place to stay in a great location with everything that you need and more. It was so nice to be able to sit out on the balcony eating breakfast in the morning. Adam was friendly and knowledgeable. 
5820783,47366333,2015-09-18,9430674,Johnny,"Nice safe, quiet neighborhood - very easy to get in and out of downtown. Adam was a great host."
5820783,47759374,2015-09-21,17550312,Mary Caton,"Great neighborhood, great hosts, and a lovely, charming little spot. Just minutes away from Zilker Park and Barton Springs. I very much recommend this rental. Adam went out of his way on multiple occasions to answer my questions and make sure I was comfortable. Extremely responsive and generous! This is a tidy and well-appointed operation. "
5820783,49587745,2015-10-05,22043709,Shawn,This airstream was so cool. The patio wrapping around was great for coffee in the morning.
5820783,51267337,2015-10-19,36302188,Jerry,The Airstream was extremely convenient to downtown and felt like a safe neighborhood. We'd definitely stay here again if it's avaliable!
2473246,11058986,2014-03-18,9270292,Kyle,"Catherine and her husband were great and very hospitable.  They have an amazing home close to the downtown area with everything you need.  We were lucky enough to spend 12 days there.  

We had an issue with a camera battery that caught fire and caused a small amount of damage.  Luckily, nobody was hurt and their smoke alarms work great.  Catherine was very understanding and we took care of the damage bill.

I would definitely stay here again.  "
276522,796982,2011-12-20,534401,Max Aaron,"Beautiful place, great location.  Heather is a great host and left her condo fully stocked for us and was easy to communicate with.  Upscale kitchen, and the bed is very comfortable.  We will definitely look forward to staying there again.   Thank you!   Max & Phillipe"
276522,828066,2012-01-02,1534062,Savannah,"Heather has a great condo! It's in a lovely neighborhood in Austin, close to many awesome things and very nicely furnished! I'd definitely stay here again!"
276522,865184,2012-01-16,595003,Christina,"Our stay at Heather's condo in Zilker Park was truly enjoyable from start to finish. 

I keep replaying the moment as we walked through the door. [Visualize speaking in slow motion] ""Whoaaa... this.. is.. so...cool!! Noo.. wayyy!!! Woow!...""

Communication and check in all a breeze. Heather was very helpful and responsive. The kitchen was well equipped, TV, wifi, comfy bed and clean washing facilities were provided. Great location, spacious and very comfortable. I hope to stay there on my next trip! We did not want to leave this condo on our last day!! 
"
276522,882476,2012-01-25,541006,Liz,"I was visiting Austin with 3 of my girlfriends, Heather's place was very accommodating for all of us. The pull out couch is great when you have the memory foam mattress, we had no complaints! The location is also great, especially when you don't have a car--the bus is such a short distance away and a taxi to downtown is only about $10. Zilker Park, the Alamo Drafthouse and cute shops and restaurants are all within walking distance. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Austin to stay at Heathers! "
276522,892514,2012-01-30,1648389,Maria,"Heather's place is inviting and comfortable.  It is beautifully decorated and you find everything you need to feel right at home.  The complex the condo is in is very well kept, the neighbors are friendly, there is a park, with tennis courts and a walking trail right across the street.  I would highly recommend Heather's place to anyone who wants to have a nice relaxing place to stay in Austin."
276522,901373,2012-02-04,910338,Cassidy,"I had to make a last minuted trip to ATX for work and WHAT A GEM I stumbled upon with Heather's Condo!!  The actual apartment very much exceeded my expectations!  I loved the layout, the art, the fully stocked kitchen (there was even a tea ball for my loose leaf tea!!!), the location, the PANDORA ON THE TV!  All of it was awesome.  Just cozy, zen, and delightful."
276522,904876,2012-02-06,351397,Christine,"Heather's condo was great, the neighborhood was quiet(very important for a light sleeper like me) and the free parking was a bonus as well.  Easy to get everywhere from the condo.  Clean, well stocked, roomier than I imagined, I would love to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
276522,916920,2012-02-13,1126766,Nico,"Great place, great value, great part of town... what else can you ask for? =)"
276522,937340,2012-02-21,1634649,Olivia,"Staying at Heather's place was great. With the sofabed in the living room, can easily sleep 4 people, and there's ample parking as well. Easy to find, and quite centrally located within Austin. "
276522,946357,2012-02-24,1473643,Lesley,Gorgeous apartment with everything you need! Heather is awesome as well in answering even silly questions (like how to use the coffee maker!). Loved the place and had a great time in Austin!
276522,954686,2012-02-27,1217147,Lisa,"We had a wonderful stay at Heather's condo.  Very comfortable with nice amenities.  We especially loved the kitchen, modern and functional.  Highly recommended for your visit to Austin!"
276522,972712,2012-03-05,1308293,Kiran,"Had a wonderful time staying at Heather's condo. This is a prefect example of what makes Air BnB so great - it's a great condo in the middle of a wonderful community. You simply can't get the same feel staying in a hotel next to the freeway. The condo had everything we needed, a comfortable bed, well appointed bathroom, and a full kitchen. The location is perfect, five minutes away from everything and out of the way of major traffic. Check in and out were a snap and Heather provided very flexible times (another thing you don't get from a hotel). We really had a great time and would like to thank Heather for making our stay so great!"
276522,1001512,2012-03-15,1504682,Chilo,"What a comfy & cozy place to stay. Heather may have the softest towels on the planet, I'd stay there again just for the towels! Moreover, Heather was very helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend! "
276522,1016078,2012-03-19,1504359,Erin,"Heather was a great host. Her place is so comfy and classy. She was easy to communicate with, very available and kind.

276522,1065041,2012-03-31,1913018,Trinity,"We felt right at home at Heather's condo in Austin. After exploring the city each day, it was really nice to have a quiet spot to retreat to. The kitchen is well-equipped, and if there had not been so many amazing food options to check off our list, I think we definitely would have enjoyed staying in and cooking more. Be sure to scroll through Heather's Austin guidebook for tons in-the-know info on her city. Checking in and out was easy too. We absolutely loved Austin, and Heather's was a great spot to stay. "
276522,1116780,2012-04-12,1977012,Wendy,"The ease of communication with Heather made my first Airbnb experience a hassle free pleasure.  Her comfy/homey condo is very conveniently located to tons of Austin's best ""scenes""....from music venues, to funky shopping and great eats, to the wonderful Zilker park. We would definitely stay in her home again."
276522,1127959,2012-04-14,910338,Cassidy,my second stay chez heather and again a delight!

276522,1197939,2012-04-29,664614,Genevieve,"The apartment is lovely and clean, with everything you could need. The location is great, and Heather has clearly put a lot of thought into making sure her visitors are comfortable. The only caveat: the one bathroom is located off the bedroom. Not a huge deal, but we had a person staying on the pullout in the living room as well, and we were surprised. Otherwise, gorgeous place."
276522,1238504,2012-05-07,1666114,Jessie,"I would recommend Heather's condo to anyone staying in Austin. It was clean, quiet, and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of parking and it was located minutes from downtown Austin and the SoCo neighborhood. Heather was a great host, leaving plenty of amenities available to her guests (e.g., towels, extra sheets, toiletries, and TV). Thanks for the stay!"
276522,1264406,2012-05-11,2101715,Lauren,"I absolutely adored this condo! It was clean, cute, super cozy, and I felt very safe staying there.

276522,1274125,2012-05-13,2333246,Daniel,"We had a fantastic time and Heather could not have been any more accommodating!  We inquired about her place a day before and she was incredibly fast with her response and provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our stay in Austin.  Her place is so cool and very well decorated (every amenity that you could possibly need).  Also definitely appreciated the local recommendations for food, entertainment, bars, etc. Will definitely stay here again whenever I make the trek back down to Austin!"
276522,1308659,2012-05-20,1001649,Krista,This really is a chic and cozy place to stay while enjoying the sites and sounds of Austin. All the amenities you need and so fatalistically decorated. The neighborhood is quiet and close to all kinds of fun. 
276522,1330962,2012-05-22,2329898,Luke,Heather's condo was perfect! And you can walk to Barley Swine from it... which was a plus.
276522,1374748,2012-05-29,2126687,Cara,"Stayed here for a long memorial day weekend. Fantastic location whether you are familiar or not with Austin- you can easily walk to a lovely park and swimming hole or for organic fresh juice or mexican food! Heather's condo was well equipped for a weekend of just hanging out, cooking, relaxing or as a crash pad for a more rowdier Austin nightlife. Would highly recommend Heather's condo for a short or long stay."

276522,1569662,2012-06-26,2379485,Fuerza,"Heather was the perfect hostess! 
We felt at home in her very clean, unique, and beautifully decorated space. Staying at this place was MUCH better than staying at a hotel.
Heather gave us easy house rules/instructions and she was great at communicating with us.
The weather in Austin was hotttt, so we really appreciated the A/C and being able to store drinks in the refrigerator. Most of all, we appreciated the close proximity to Barton Springs and Deep Eddy. 

We loved the neighborhood and the peacefulness of Zilker Park. The parking was easy and being near the stores and a vegetarian restaurant like Mr. Natural was perfect! We rented a car from the airport lot (best deal we found was on Hotwire) and it allowed us to travel all over Austin. Public transit can be a bit slow and with the heat, biking can get really sweaty. So for this time of year, using a rental car was a good way to go. 

We enjoyed this stay so much and HIGHLY recommend it! "
276522,1672597,2012-07-09,2838268,Adam,Heathers place was lovely and she helped me greatly by having me in such short notice. Its just a short ride to downtown and a 5 minute walk to the coffee shop and taco place. I would definelty recommend Heathers place!
276522,1721214,2012-07-16,1308293,Kiran,"This was our second time staying with Heather and as expected we had a wonderful time. Her place is in the perfect location, is immaculately maintained, and has everything you'll need. Check in and out are super easy and she is a wonderful host overall. "

276522,1846061,2012-07-30,488999,Boone,Very cute place!  Friendly and accommodating host.
276522,1919398,2012-08-07,3091333,Rachel,"Heather was such an excellent host! Her condo was beatuiful and clean. She has left everything for us that we would have needed for our stay. We only stayed a weekend but I feel we got the perfect taste of Austin thanks to Heathers helpful guidebook. Also, everything was in a short distance from her condo, either a 10-15 minute walk or a cab ride that was usually around 10-12 bucks! "
276522,1964148,2012-08-12,3194427,Cori,"Heather's condo was beautiful, clean, and well maintained.  We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect with many walk able amenities. I would definitely stay there again."

We'd stay here again for sure. Heather was a super-friendly and communicative host, and her homemade guide to local attractions and restaurants/bars, which is on the kitchen counter, is very helpful. Highly recommended!"
276522,2023730,2012-08-18,160563,Susanna,Heather's apartment is nicely appointed and in a good location in South Austin. Easy access to Zilker Park. I would definitely stay there again!

276522,2118673,2012-08-27,2979674,Sarah,"The space was clean and well located. It is a bit cramped. LOTS of things everywhere. Not my taste. We had to leave a night early due to all the things my toddler wanted to touch which was a pain. And the hostess did not refund anything, while understandable, I still think I would have handled the situation differently as a host.
"
276522,2216776,2012-09-06,3274527,Matthew,"Heather is a very welcoming and accommodating host.

Her home is comfortable, classy, and located on a quiet street near some
really great stuff (Zilker Park, Barton Springs Rd., Matt's El Rancho). 

We had a wonderful time and would stay there again in a heart beat. Highly recommended!"
276522,2257744,2012-09-10,3477994,Stephen,Heather's space is both cozy and elegant.  Enjoyed the creative decor.  Centrally located to many popular entertainment venues.  I'll stay there again next time I'm in Austin.
276522,2336660,2012-09-18,154442,Jed,"Heather's apartment was absolutely perfect. Great location, beautiful space. Everything was perfectly planned, right down to the keypad lock on the door (no need for a pesky key handoff, just a password and we were in!) The welcome binder answered all our questions and Heather was always available to answer questions. Definitely a great place to stay when visiting Austin!"
276522,2424367,2012-09-26,3490790,Paul,Apartment was immaculate and exactly as described. Would love to stay there again. 
276522,2459542,2012-09-30,1191641,Aquarius,"What a super trendy, stylish, comfortable apartment. I was amazed that Heather left a WHOLE notebook full of reviews for over 50+ restaurants in the town!! It sure helped us in deciding where to go and eat for lunch/dinner. The apartment was very accommodating and we felt so relaxed and comfortable. Heather answered every single question I had (and there were many) without any irritation!  Loved the location of her apartment, if I come to Austin again I will definitely stay at Heather's place!! I can't say enough good things about my entire experience staying at her condo and with her!"
276522,2538486,2012-10-08,3355057,Paul,"Had a great experience at Heather's home, her place was clean and very nice.  Would definitely stay there again."
276522,2679149,2012-10-22,3280255,Monica,"Very cute condo; actually walkable from So Congress area if you like to walk.  Very interesting area architecturally-wise: one of everything.  Loved how close we were to the bus lines and to Opa, a fun Greek restaurant for morning latte.  Quiet apartment/condo complex near a school / park."
276522,2750750,2012-10-29,3168868,Tera,100% recommend! I felt like I was right at home.
276522,2812906,2012-11-05,1308293,Kiran,"This was our third stay at Heather's place and as usual we had a wonderful time. The location is great - no matter what area of town you want to visit you're going to be close by. The condo is perfectly as described, well appointed and very clean. There are lots of little details such as iPhone chargers and an incredible guidebook that make staying here a no-brainer for us. If you're going to Austin, this is the place to stay."
276522,2877393,2012-11-13,1474170,Katie,"Came down for a wedding with a friend.  Had a great experience.  Very centrally located.  Clean, nice and comfortable.  She left a lot of good advice and we had parking.  I would definitely stay there again.  Close to So Congress and Lamar.  "
276522,3052351,2012-12-09,3742814,Matthew,"Heather is a great host with a wonderful place. I would highly recommend staying in her condo to anyone heading to Austin. You have easy access to all the major highways and nice restaurants and bars within easy walking distance.

Matt"
276522,3249227,2013-01-03,3165754,Emily,Very cute and comfortable condo. Worked great for two people. Heather was very communicative and helpful. Close to everywhere we wanted to go. 
276522,3352942,2013-01-15,4459794,Cindy,"Great stay in Austin and loved staying in Heather's condo. Great location would love to return and stay in her condo on our next visit. 
"
276522,3376293,2013-01-20,1125663,Rachel,"Heather's place is one of the best places I've stayed through Airbnb. Check-in and -out was easy, the neighborhood was great, and the apartment felt like a home rather than a hotel (or an apartment full of stuff that the renter no longer wants). There was coffee and tea to drink, plentiful supplies to cook with, and a list of recommendations for places to eat out."
276522,3467460,2013-02-03,3450132,Trevor,Really nice place and Heather was great!  As a fellow AirBnB host I have a lot to learn from her.  Very detailed instructions on the place and surrounding restaurants and activities.  Relaxing atmosphere and very clean.  Would highly recommend!
276522,3559700,2013-02-17,4608609,James,"My girlfriend and I spent our Valentines weekend in Heather's Condo and absolutely loved it! The binder left out in the kitchen with all the addresses to local bars, restaurants, and coffee houses was very helpful. The condo was immaculate and very cozy, we would most definitely stay here again.! :) -James and Ally"
276522,3588244,2013-02-19,1021031,Cristina,Great stay.  Nice area.  Heather was great with communication and the place was super tidy.  Thanks Heather!
276522,3613490,2013-02-26,145959,Lindsay,"I've had a handful of airbnb experiences, and our stay at Heather's was certainly a highlight!  It was the first time I have stayed at a home that is lived in but not when I am there, and I love that. It's great to have access to a relatively stocked refrigerator, and it's cozy because there are books and signs of life around, but I'm not worried about being in someone's way. I'll look to stay in other accommodations like this, if I am lucky enough to find them!"
276522,3709020,2013-03-06,4941957,Isaac,"Thank you Heather, for giving us your condo to stay in. Everything worked out great, your place is beautiful. My friend and I loved the setup and she could not stop talking about all your awesome decorations and I loved the location it is so close to everything especially Downtown.  Anyone who rents from you would be lucky.  "
276522,3760368,2013-03-12,2750988,Harry,"Heather's condo was cozy, fun, convenient and clean -- a great place to come home to after a long day at SXSW."
276522,3803370,2013-03-17,3494047,Lisa,The condo is just perfect as is the neighborhood. It's just the kind of area I would love to live in.  We took the bus into downtown every morning. that was fast and easy. The two times we called a cab to get us from the condo the  response time was super fast even thought it was the busiest week of the year.    This was an awesome first airbnb experience.  thank you
276522,3894692,2013-03-25,5352747,Ted,"Everything was great, the condo was beautiful and comfortable, Heather's guidebook was extremely useful for figuring out dining options, and the location is great, quiet but easily accessible.  We stayed here without a car and were able to get downtown easily for $1/person on the 3 bus, which runs every 20 minutes most of the day.  We had a few late nights where we couldn't get a bus, but the taxi was only $10-15 from either South Congress or Sixth Street.  This was our first Airbnb experience, and we'll definitely consider using it again; hopefully other hosts are as clean, communicative, and helpful as Heather!  "
276522,3952433,2013-03-30,819053,Sara,"Staying at Heather's condo was my first AirBnB experience, and like many others, I was hesitant and unsure of what to expect upon arrival. Heather's photos of her condo are 100% accurate, and the condo itself exceeded my expectations. The bed was super comfy, the kitchen had plenty of supplies to cook with, and there was an assortment of teas and coffee. Heather was quick to respond to any messages I sent her, and her guidebook for Austin was helpful for figuring out what to do. Great spot! "
276522,4065336,2013-04-07,247494,Rebecca,"What a wonderful place to spend a week! Walking distance to the greenway and Zilker park, and located in a wonderful neighborhood that's perfectly close to downtown too. Heather was incredibly accommodating, easy to reach, and provided fantastic guidance about what to see and do in the neighborhood and around Austin. I visit Austin often, and I just hope that I can stay here again!"
276522,4169545,2013-04-15,1308293,Kiran,"Air BnB has RUINED regular hotels for me, that's thanks in large part to Heather's place. It's immaculately clean, very comfortable, and has everything you would need. It's really the small details Heather puts in that sets her place apart such as the iPhone chargers on the bed stands and a guidebook that would put any travel guide to shame, I can't say enough about the lengths she goes to so her guests can feel at home. There's no hotel that can compare with this. Heather's place is our favorite place to stay in all of Austin. The  friendly neighborhood and great amenities ail make even the best trip to Austin even better!"
276522,4263247,2013-04-22,5992697,Kemi,"This was the easiest place I believe I've ever booked. Heather was quick to respond, and gave us helpful information that informed our stay before we reached there and through her awesome guest book while we were there. The neighborhood is great and I enjoyed walking through. It was a great experience and a very restful time!"
276522,4343798,2013-04-29,2610661,Michelle,"My best friend and I came to Austin for a weekend vacation, and Heather's condo was absolutely adorable! My first Airbnb experience was a success. Quiet neighborhood, centrally located to everything!  Downtown is just a 5 minute drive.  Bed was super comfortable and the extras were great.  Check in and check out was easy.  I recommend anyone coming to Austin to stay at Heather's condo.  Thanks again, Heather!"
276522,5217694,2013-06-18,2535430,Kyle,"Heather was a perfect host.  She provided us with lots of updates prior to our stay, and even gave us tips on where to avoid on a busy weekend (Republic of Texas bike rally).  

The condo was super cozy, and perfect for my wife and I and my parents.  The decor was really well done, and you felt like you were at home.  The kitchen was GORGEOUS.  A beautiful deep sink and a lovely gas range.  It was divine, and I was sad we weren't cooking in anything more than oatmeal.  

The place was spotless and heather had gone out of her way to make her guests feel welcome including a really in depth guest guide - the City of Austin should copy this from her!

Location wise it was perfectly located just off of South Lamar.  Perfect for our morning runs in Zilker Park, and there are lots of fun places close by.  It was far enough off the main drag to be absolutely silent at night.

I can't recommend this place enough.  We'll be back!"
276522,5305478,2013-06-23,7021521,Sanam,"Great little condo near downtown! Heather a place was amazing! Made us feel like we were back leaving in Austin! Easy access to everything, getting in and out was a breeze! Don't think I will ever stay in a hotel in Austin after this gem! "
276522,5478503,2013-07-01,7139979,San,"Heather could not have made my stay any easier!  She was always readily available when I had questions.  Her condo is very cute, clean and so nicely decorated!  I would definitely recommend staying here!"
276522,5645911,2013-07-09,4488109,Chris,"Heather's place was just what we needed!  Very clean and comfortable, with plenty of great bars and restaurants nearby.  And I loved the proximity to BARTON SPRINGS POOL, the best pool ever!!  Thanks Heather!"
276522,5899824,2013-07-21,7523934,Lowe,"This was the first on airbnb for me. Heathrow was really friendly and easy to communicate with and helped me and my friends. The condo is really cozy and a perfect location not to far from downtown and close to shops, park and restaurants. The condo has everything you need, even prepered with iPhone chargers.
Awsome stay and awsome host now we know how a great airbnb deal is suposed to be. Thanks Heather!"
276522,6080320,2013-07-29,7249902,Sharon,I loved heathers place! It was in a perfect location and was such an adorable apartment. Heather helped out and answered any questions i had. I would love to return to Austin and would stay at her place. Felt just like home! :-) 
276522,6230627,2013-08-04,3823538,Justin,"The place was great, it is a beautiful condo in an amazing location. I highly recommend staying here."
276522,6395544,2013-08-11,5157506,Michael,"Fantastic Host.  Anything we could have thought of, Heather provided for.  Super clean, great location, and easy going.  All we could ask for and more.  Will definitely stay here again."
276522,6479247,2013-08-13,8016115,Christina,"Heather is a professional, gracious host with a wonderful, welcoming home. I highly recommend renting her place. Plus, you can't beat the location.  "
276522,6640327,2013-08-19,4768448,Ivor,"This is a fantastic condo, beautifully designed and executed. The location is just perfect with the opportunity for early morning swims at Barton Springs only a few minutes away and the downtown area not much further.

Thanks Heather for a great stay."
276522,6797738,2013-08-25,8204581,Travis,"Heather was a perfect hostess.  Her place was cozy, inviting, and strategic in terms of Austin.  We had a wonderful experience.
Travis and Lara"
276522,7062499,2013-09-05,7511832,Caz,"Heather was an absolute delight as a host and her apartment was perfect!! Heather was great at communicating with us ensuring an easy check-in, lots of local tips (maps included) and even saved us from losing our phone charger! 
The apartment was beautiful, spacious and exactly like the photos. Lots of fresh towels in the bathroom, great air conditioning and wifi, multiple iPhone/Mac computer chargers for our convenience. There was free parking and located in a funky area of Austin but for those who don't have cars taxis to downtown are cheap and Heather has lots of suggestions for places within walking distance. 
Would highly recommend this place to anyone - our best Air BnB experience so far!!! "
276522,7162823,2013-09-09,1553359,Val,"Great apartment. Clean, comfortable, and cozy. We had a great stay and Heather was very easy to coordinate with. Definitely recommended if you are looking to stay in this area."
276522,8080939,2013-10-15,8014395,Ronald,"The cozy condo was perfect for our Austin City Limits weekend.  It comfortably accommodated the 3 people in our group.  It was also a great location - walking distance to Zilker Park (less than 1.5 miles, about 20 minutes) and a couple of very good restaurants on South Lamar including Austin standout Uchi and Gordough's.  It's also a short cab ride to South Congress and downtown.  We would definitely use the cozy condo again for our next Austin trip."
276522,8172442,2013-10-19,247494,Rebecca,"I visit Austin often for work, and this was my third time staying in Heather's apartment. The space is so comfortable, Heather is a great host (on a previous trip, she was amazingly responsive when I ran into trouble with the AC unit and had it fixed in no time), and the location cannot be beat -- a quiet side street with easy access to South Congress, South First, downtown, Barton Springs, and lots more. Heather has a great guidebook to the area, and the whole process is just incredibly smooth. If anything, I hope other people don't stay here so it's available the next time I want to visit! "
276522,8260032,2013-10-22,8333687,Andrea,"This condo was PERFECT!  I lived in ATX for 12 years and wanted to be near my old neighborhood.  This location was great and made it easy to get around.  The condo was clean, nicely decorated and had everything that we could possibly need.  My mom has some mobility limitations and this condo is on the second floor, but it's well-lit and she had no problems with the few stairs to get up to the front door.  Heather was also a gracious host and has put together a fantastic book with tips and info about Austin if you're unfamiliar.  Thanks for sharing your fabulous condo, Heather!  I will definitely contact you in the future when I return to Austin."
276522,8350525,2013-10-27,8831386,Cassidy,"Great little space. A bit far for walking into downtown but cute places are very nearby. And downtown is a short drive. Very clean and great binder full or things to do, places to eat, etc in the area. 

Thanks!

276522,8552938,2013-11-04,9711544,Khoa,"Cozy comfortable place.  Easy access to downtown, SoCo, and Zilker park.  Great launching pad for Austin excursions!"
276522,8715071,2013-11-13,8069732,Neetu,"This was my first time in Austin and my first time using Airbnb and I had a wonderful experience calling Heather's condo home for a few days. Clean, cozy, AND well-decorated, it was everything I'd hoped for in my home away from home. Heather's guidebook was very helpful and she was quick to respond to my question. Her condo also was conveniently located in a very cute neighborhood. 

As a side note: I highly recommend renting a car. I was nearly convinced that I wouldn't need one while I was there, but Heather helpfully clarified that a rental was a good idea. I'm glad I listened to her advice. Bussing it around town would have been pretty difficult. "
276522,8804595,2013-11-18,548843,Isabelle,"Lovely little condo in a nice, tree-lined residential neighborhood.  It was perfect for my Mom.  She was very comfortable.   

Thank you Heather "

276522,9228934,2013-12-15,247494,Rebecca,"I've stayed in this condo several times now -- it's turning into my Austin home away from home. The experience is always as easy as it could possibly be, the location is great, and the condo is cozy and fantastic. "
276522,9544372,2014-01-02,1308293,Kiran,"This has become our go-to place to stay whenever we're in Austin. There are no drawbacks at all here, excellent location, easy and flexible check in and out, and all the amenities you could require. I could keep writing, but I think the number of reviews I've left here speaks far better to how much we enjoy staying with Heather! "
276522,9852250,2014-01-14,1874218,Nick,Heather was highly accomodating to my mother while she visited Austin. My mother enjoyed her stay and highly recommends Heather's place to anyone!
276522,9938367,2014-01-20,11017930,Sarah,"Heather was a great host. Everything was made very clear from the get-go, and she was quick to answer any questions I had. The condo is very cute, and in a hip part of town. Would come back here again any time I need to visit Austin. "
276522,10070050,2014-01-28,5724775,Andrew,"My wife, our 1.5 year old son, and I stayed in Heather's condo for a couple of nights. We loved it. The condo had everything that we needed, and it was comfortable and clean. The location is great -- it is close to many of the best things that Austin has to offer. The neighborhood was great too. We were pleased to find a park/playground right across the street. Heather was an excellent host -- she communicated very well, and checking in and out was easy. Thank you Heather!"

276522,10449633,2014-02-19,10888309,Christopher,"Heather's condo was all everyone else has said; I'll just say that our  stay could not have been better, from the quality of the accommodations to the convenient location to Heather's generosity in sharing, her communications were warm and responsive, and she has a nice library of DVDs.  This was our first airbnb experience, Why wasn't I told?"
276522,10721610,2014-03-04,139801,Cedric,"This space is exactly as shown in the pictures and was very comfortable for two people. The condo building looks a bit worn, but the apartment itself is nicely renovated.

Nice neighborhood with a lot of restaurants, bars and Zilker park very close by. South Congress Park & Downtown are within

Heather is very responsive to any inquiries & her instructions for checking in/out were perfect. Her guidebook was extremely useful. 
Thanks Heather.

"
276522,10847317,2014-03-10,4609073,Jarrett,Very comfortable and clean place to stay for a quick trip to SXSW.  Thanks Heather.  The quite neighborhood had some good restaurants near by - 15 min walk.  
276522,11218971,2014-03-25,12063117,Penny,Great condo and perfect location for us.  Directly across the street from Zilker Park where we took our three year old grandson.  We will book with you next time we come to Austin.  Thanks Heather....
276522,11350093,2014-03-31,368261,Kate,"Our stay in Heather's condo was absolutely fantastic! So cute, clean, cozy! The condo was located in a great location (although we had a rental car so that made it easy to get around). I would highly recommend her condo if you are looking for a nice Austin weekend getaway!"
276522,11594111,2014-04-08,13132111,Michelle,Staying at Heather's was AMAZING. I couldn't think of a better way to spend 4 days in Austin. The location was walkable to so many great places near SoCo and South Lamar. Even my friends who live in Austin were jealous of our digs. I already highly recommended the apartment to all my friends!!
276522,12179814,2014-04-25,2208852,Robin,"We loved our stay in Heather's condo!  Such a comfortable, clean, cozy and nicely decorated space.  We loved the neighborhood for walking around, and it was perfectly located to our family who lived on the next street over.  We would definitely recommend Heather's condo and we would stay there again!  
"
276522,12325643,2014-04-29,7465778,Laura,"Heather is warm and friendly - a natural airbnb host.  Her condo is cozy and has all the amenities of home.  She has materials on the local area which help guests decide what treats to choose from in the amply supplied Austin area.  Though the condo is close to downtown and many of the area attractions (like the Zach Theatre), it is situated in a quiet, secluded and peaceful corner where you can hear the morning doves coo as you gently awaken from her uber comfy bed.  I thoroughly enjoyed my effortless stay at Heather's condo in Austin."
276522,14681670,2014-06-24,13384617,Gene,"I stayed at this apartment for over a month. Heather was a great host. The apartment is in a very nice neighborhood, filled with happy people :) The apartment is well-appointed and was exactly as described. When I needed anything, Heather always responded quickly to address my needs."
276522,18719230,2014-08-31,4090177,Ana,"I stayed at Header's condo for four weeks. It's a well decorated, clean, and comfortable place exactly as is promoted. The location is great! close to downtown with good restaurants and bars, and bike friendly. Heather is a great host. I got all the information I needed, either about the condo and the city, in a manual she developed for guests. Great and useful idea!!  I would recommend this place to stay in Austin. Thanks for the great stay, Heather!"
276522,19790655,2014-09-18,20179654,Nathalie,"My husband and I had our first AirBnB experience at Heather's condo and absolutely loved it! The condo was clean, comfortable and beautiful – we looked forward to returning every night. The A/C worked great on hotter days and the bed was extremely comfortable. It was easy to walk to and explore South Lamar, South Congress and Zilker Park. As someone who is really into fitness, I loved being able to run around the track across the street at Little Zilker Park, and for longer runs, it was quick and easy to get to the new Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail at Lady Bird Lake. I also worked out at CrossFit South Lamar, which was only a five minute walk away! Heather went above and beyond and provided a thorough guidebook to all of her favorite places in and around the neighborhood, which really helped us get to know the city well. We will both highly recommend this condo to any of our friends looking to stay in Austin!"
276522,20105499,2014-09-23,4957607,Jennifer,"Checking in to heathers condo was just like a hotel. A beautiful clean space, welcome note, instructions for any question we might have, maps and umbrellas laid out. 

Really comfy bed, loved the breakfast eating area. Absolutely zero noise from neighbors and a real quick walk to lots of great spots. 

She is definitely an airbnb pro the place was perfect. We hope to stay again soon!"
276522,21196171,2014-10-13,12035834,Kirsten,"Heather's place was the perfect location for ACL. We were able to easily walk ~1 mile to/from the festival with no problems. There was even a convenience store along the way to pick up water and snacks. The queen bed in the bedroom was comfortable and we slept very well. There is also a pull out couch, which our friend slept on. Parking was easy, lots of open spaces in the apartment complex parking lot and easy street parking. The apartment is very close to Lamar blvd which takes you into the city and is also speckled with restaurants, CVS, Walgreens, etc. I had a few questions while I was staying here and was able to message Heather and get quick responses, which was helpful. The most convenient part is that there is no key so we didn't have to coordinate who had the key and there was no risk of losing the key at the festival. Overall it was a great experience!"
276522,21591105,2014-10-20,11311221,Stephanie,"Great location close to downtown. 1bdrm apt was clean, comfortable, and easy to get in and out of with the code lock. Appreciated the binder of recommendations in the area. Overall positive experience. "
276522,21957226,2014-10-27,21425570,Mary,"Heather's condo was in a great location and in great condition. Parking at her complex was not difficult at all and there is a small convenience store (5 minute walk) from the place too.
The rooms accommodated all four of us nicely, and it was great to have a kitchen with all amenities a home would have.  The bathroom was clean and had fresh towels put out for us.  We even commented on all the little things Heather accounted for, like puzzles and playing cards on the table, coffee, tea and water bottles when we first arrived.  
Leading up to our stay, Heather was easily reachable with questions and changes to our reservations, and very accommodating.  She made us aware of some work that was about to take place at the condos and it helped us arrange our schedule ahead of time.  
Overall, the condo was well-kept, nicely decorated, cozy and made for an enjoyable stay.   "
276522,22362208,2014-11-04,11589144,Sapna,"Heather's place is very cute and well-decorated. The place is small but 4 of us were still comfortable.  The bathroom was very clean and we had plenty of towels.  The sofa-bed was fine for a couple nights with the memory foam mattress on top.  Heather left some snacks for us and water bottles.  She also has a great guide with comments on restaurants and things to do.  We also enjoyed playing her Bananagrams! 

The apartment building itself is non-descript and there is not a whole lot of light that gets into the apartment.  There is a very cute park right across the street.  The apartment is pretty close to some trendy places on S. Lamar and S. 1st.  S. Congress and Zilker Park are short drives away (You could walk too, but we didn't try).  We had a car, but in the evening we easily were able to get Uber drivers as well. "
276522,22517450,2014-11-09,3360499,Kimberley,"The condo was very clean and efficient.  Communication with Heather was very prompt.  And the location is great, very quiet yet close to downtown.   "

276522,24455389,2014-12-28,14020577,Ron,"Heather was very responsive and prepared.  She responded within a couple hours of my initial note, and had the place ready for my arrival that night.  Her place was clean and quiet, and tucked nicely into the Zilker / Barton Springs neighborhood.  Parking in the lot was easy and safe.  Overall fantastic experience.

"
276522,24752642,2015-01-02,11757731,Steven,"Heather's Chic Cozy Condo was great!  it's easily accessible to all that Austin has to offer.  There is plenty of sitting space, a nice comfy couch and bed, and even two tvs.  She left us some great treats and was very helpful with places to go eat and visit while in Austin.  We would recommend this place to anybody that visits Austin.  "
276522,25515418,2015-01-18,25658442,Shaela,"This was my first time using airbnb, and I loved it! Heathers place was great and had everything we needed plus more. Staying at the condo was much more intimate versus staying at a hotel. The location was perfect as well, anything that my husband and I wanted to do was either in walking distance or a 10 minute drive. Because of my experience I won't be staying at a hotel if airbnb is available. Thanks Heather! "
276522,25780951,2015-01-25,26556202,Andrew,"The location was perfect for what we were looking for. My SO and I came to Austin for the weekend to visit our favorite food places and this was minutes away from everything we wanted to do. Heather was very responsive and was easy to reach. Upon arrival everything was just as she described and shown in the pictures. We were very impressed with how cozy and neat the place was. The condo was in a beautiful area with lots of parks around, and even Zilker park down the street. This will be the first place I look to stay the next time I come to Austin."
276522,25895113,2015-01-28,8263959,Michael,Nice apartment in convenient location. Heather was very responsive.
276522,26257107,2015-02-08,17300435,April,"My friend and I stayed in Heather's condo for 4 days while visiting Austin for a conference at the Moody Theater.  It was perfect for just the two of us - the condo is very cute inside and we had everything we needed.  Coffee was provided which is always a good thing!  :)  Heather was very quick to respond when we had questions about the condo before our trip and during the weekend.  She also provided a binder with restaurant suggestions, etc. which was helpful.  The condo is a quick uber or cab ride from downtown and much more affordable than staying in one of the hotels downtown.  We didn't really get a chance to explore the neighborhood since we were at the conference most of the weekend but that's something we would have liked to do as the condo is so close to Zilker Park - next time!  :)  Since no one was checking in the day we left and we had a late afternoon flight, Heather allowed us to check out a little later - she was very accommodating. Thanks for a great visit!  "
276522,26684412,2015-02-17,17998096,Jason,"Staying at Heather's condo was great for our first trip to Austin. The place was in awesome shape and not too far from anywhere we wanted to go.

And it was a short drive (5-10 minutes) to everywhere we wanted to go including South Congress and Downtown. She also had a great binder that included local places to check out, which came in very helpful. And she was very communicative and responded quickly to all our questions prior to arrival. 

And the bed was very comfortable! : ) 

Altogether I would recommend Heather's place, if you're looking for quiet neighborhood but also looking for the convenience of being a (very) short drive to everything.  "
276522,27516627,2015-03-06,28411124,Joe,Nice condo in a convenient location and Heather was very responsive.
276522,28074814,2015-03-17,24267213,Michael,"The place is clean, nice. Just a 5 minute walk from a bus ride to downtown for SXSW and other downtown activities.

Heather was very helpful and answered all our questions right away.

I'd highly recommend this place!"

The place was in a perfect location for our weekend stay in Austin. Easy parking on premise and in a quiet and lush neighborhood. 
"
276522,31470321,2015-05-05,3891311,Liz,"Heather's Cozy Condo was just that. It was a perfect home base for our trip to Austin. We walked (or ubered) everywhere, and had an amazing time exploring Austin. Melissa was amazingly responsive when we had questions, and we got the feeling her neighbors would have been just as welcoming. Even though I'm now downtown for a conference, I'm dragging people back to the neighborhood for dinner so I can try more places. Thanks so much!"
276522,32010121,2015-05-12,27063915,Megan,"Our stay at Heather's was great and we have no complaints!  The location was good (an easy trip or Uber ride everywhere we needed to go) and the condo was very clean and felt like home.  The bed was super comfortable which was greatly appreciated after a long journey.  For a planner like myself, the binder with local information was also greatly appreciated.  You can tell a lot of time and thought was put into everything - from the beer in the fridge to the coffee/tea selection to the soft towels and linens.  The parking was easy and we loved the keyless entry.  We would certainly stay there again."
276522,32387970,2015-05-17,14273024,Fernando,"Great stay in ATX! Location is perfect, had all the amenities needed and more! My friend and I stayed here for a wedding and probably had more fun and paid way less"

276522,33684727,2015-05-31,1308293,Kiran,"This is the greatest place to stay in Austin. We have had to book other hotels when Heather's place isn't available and it just isn't the same! The location is right in the heart of the city but tucked away in a quiet corner. 

Heather is a great host and takes excellent care of her guests. Check in and out are a breeze and her place literally has every amenity you could want!

My favorite place on AirBnB!
"
276522,34290598,2015-06-07,1714289,Mackenzie,"This condo was perfect for our long weekend! The location is good -- close to Zilker Park and many restaurants and bars. Also, an $8-10 Uber ride into downtown. The condo was the right amount of space for two people, more people might be pushing it. Heather was easy to communicate with, and her book of recommendations was super helpful. As a runner, my favorite feature of the condo was that it was only around 1 mile from the Lady Bird Lake trail -- a beautiful 10 mile loop trail that runs around the center of Austin. Overall, we had a great stay, thanks to Heather!"
276522,34978126,2015-06-14,24521151,Erin,"Heather's place is very cute, very clean, and in a relatively central location.  There were 4 adults staying there and we were all very comfortable with the bed and pullout couch.  There are a lot of walkable options nearby but we did need to take Uber's downtown and to Rainey street.  Overall I would definitely recommend Heather's condo.  "
276522,35328207,2015-06-17,1308079,Imran,"Place was exactly as described and in pictures. We had a slight AC issue, but Heather took care of it right away. It was a pleasure staying here. "
276522,36477926,2015-06-28,36519687,Sherry,Host was easy to communicate with and was prompt. She had a very laid back approach which we loved. The condo is very cute and chic. Decorated with books and photos that make it feel like home. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe.  There was a elementary school  and playground right across from it so if you had a little one they could play there. The distance from downtown was about 8 minutes which was close enough for us. Lots of eating options close. I would definitely stay here again and the price was awesome!
276522,37604529,2015-07-08,36733686,Dustin,My girlfriend and I visited Austin from Finland (Suomi) and we had a great time thanks to Heather.  The place was just as described.  Easy in and out.  Kitchen had everything we needed for minimal cooking (breakfast tacos). There place was clean and welcoming.  You won't be disappointed. 
276522,37822617,2015-07-10,24953154,Angel & Merilyn,"Staying at Heather was a great experience. Location was very near all our favorite spots. Felt very safe, even coming back late at night. Very clean and stylish with plenty of natural light. Comfy bed, lots of pillows. Easy location to find. "

276522,44382415,2015-08-25,38285452,Ken,Heather's condo was fantastic. Her bed has got to be one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in at a B&B or hotel. Her condo was exactly as described and Heather was very responsive to any questions I had and a pleasure to communicate with.  I will be staying again. 
276522,44654020,2015-08-28,12072920,Cori,"We enjoyed our stay at Heather's condo!  The apartment itself was exactly as described in the listing - no surprises.  Heather was very accommodating and available to answer questions, so no complaints there.   The apartment was reasonably clean, and very modern and nice.  Only thing I would mention to future guests - which wasn't a problem, just nice to know in advance - you don't pay a cleaning fee, but you're expected to run the dishes or wash them, strip the bed, etc. when you leave.  I didn't realize this til the morning of my flight so it was a little stressful, but that was likely my fault for not reading the entire welcome letter :)  Would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others."
276522,45208231,2015-08-31,39755880,Anthony,"I stayed here for 3 days and it was great! Very comfy, cozy, and a great location! This will be my first place to look for to stay for any future adventures in Austin. Thanks, Heather!"
276522,47788221,2015-09-21,35797593,Cortney,This place was the perfect location and very well priced. We were able to walk to Olivia for an unbelievable breakfast.  I was able to go running in the park across the street. It was close to everywhere we needed to be. Heather was really accommodating and the place was beautiful. I highly recommend this place!
276522,49666318,2015-10-05,43813840,Caroline,"My friends and I had a wonderful time staying at Heather's condo during the ACL festival this year. The space accommodated the four of us comfortably and looks just as cute in person as the photos show.

Heather is a very detail-oriented host - she has created a binder with local recommendations for restaurants, coffee shops, bars, attractions, etc. which I think is super thoughtful. She was quick to answer my questions about local transportation and gave me a thorough overview of Lyft and Uber. Also, I really appreciated how flexible she was with check-in/out times. 

The neighborhood itself is very quaint - lots of cute houses and families, but also great brunch spots and coffeeshops nearby. I would recommend Heather's condo to anyone traveling to the Austin area!"
276522,51913872,2015-10-25,43539039,Jasmine,"We had a lovely stay in Heather's condo! The home was beautifully presented and clean, and in a fantastic location! We loved the comfy bed, and the information folder that Heather provides was fantastic! Would definitely recommend and would stay again!!"

5093553,35031898,2015-06-14,714137,V.,"We really enjoyed our stay.  The location was great - right off Hwy 360 so an easy drive to any place we need to go to in Austin.  The pool is fantastic.  As one of the other residents that we ran into at the pool stated, ""this complex feels like living at a resort"". Krystal is a very thoughtful host and her home is both upscale and cozy."

Krystal's Condo was absolutely gorgeous, well-kept and extremely nice. The bathroom was large and spacious, the kitchen was fully stocked, and the living room and porch were perfect place to relax after a long day of sites. While the location isn't the closest to downtown, it was great to get away from the hustle and bustle for a quiet night when we needed it. "
8802176,52289705,2015-10-27,31740423,Michael,"Chris was extremely nice and accommodating.  My flight into town and arrival time changed, and she went out of her way to meet me and show me the apartment.  The location was perfect.  Parking was great.  It rained heavily the Saturday I was in town, so having movies to watch was really nice.  The bed was comfortable and everything was as described.  I would recommend staying here to anyone headed to Austin.  I can't express how kind and helpful Chris was.  "
4264342,22167372,2014-10-31,22647372,Molly,"Cozy, inviting backhouse that feels safe and is set up nicely for peaceful slumbers. The kitchen is stocked with ample organic cooking ingredients and the perfectly functioning, user friendly coffee maker sits next to a bag of organic grounds. This clean, vintage meets eclectic modern space is perfect for the weary traveler who yearns to escape the run down, overpriced Austin hotel circuit in pursuit of quiet morning jogs in close proximity of popular restaurants and coffee shops. Five stars!"
4264342,22283792,2014-11-02,23119069,Brenna,"Laura was great-- very easy to rent from and always quick to respond with any questions.

4264342,33037559,2015-05-24,33596611,Tom,"Laura made us feel really welcome and and comfortable being in the cottage.  The bottle of wine, flowers and cookies were a very nice touch.  She and Jamie made themselves available should we need anything.  The cottage was what was described and felt more comfortable than we could have imaged, thanks to the unique decorating touches Laura has done. The kitchen was top notch and great for someone that likes to cook.  The neighborhood was great and Laura was very helpful in letting us in on some of their local favorites which were walking distance.   We will definitely look to use Laura's Ramsey Park Cottage on our next trip to Austin.  This was our first Abnb experience and it has left us with an extremely positive impression."

4264342,52405377,2015-10-29,43461944,Kimberly,"I stayed at the Ramsey Park Cottage for nearly a month while in relocation transition to Austin. The area itself (Rosedale/Hyde Park) is absolutely amazing. It reminds me of downtown Orlando, FL, where I am from. The area is in walking distance of everything! I walked to the grocery, to eat, to grab coffee and even a glass of wine practically all the time. The neighborhood is friendly, safe and quiet with lots of trees and bungalow-style homes.  The cottage was as pictured and I would venture to say the pics don't do it enough justice. It's perfect for a couple (or individual). It feels very cozy. Upon arrival, it was very clean, ample fresh towels and bedding. Laura and Jamie left me a welcome note with internet access info, some amazing scones and other goodies to enjoy. The kitchen is fully stocked with equipment to cook. There's a washer/dryer... which is great! Laura is a welcoming host; She responds very quickly to questions and provided info on places to check out in the area. She and Jamie were a pleasure to ""live"" behind. My stay at the Ramsey Park Cottage was truly ""home away from home"". Especially if your a newbie to Austin, I recommend this rental. I took a shot in the dark with the location and it really paid off. After being in Austin for a month, I've learned this area is one of the best and most desirable to be. "

1688821,51453089,2015-10-20,32787978,Rebecca,"Amy was a terrific host.  She provided very clear instructions and was very responsive to e-mails.  Her apartment is really cute and centrally located; and my friends and I had a great time staying there.

Amy really went above and beyond for us when she allowed us to check out late.  Our flight wasn't until ~5PM and we didn't know where to put our things if we had to leave at noon.  Amy was kind enough to both respond to my email really quickly and allow us to check out right before our flight.

I would definitely recommend staying here!"
1688821,51672599,2015-10-22,41777247,Eric,"Amy's place was great. Very clean, organized, and well kept. Her apartment itself aside, I would recommend staying here even just for the rooftop view of downtown Austin alone. If you go up at night when it's all lit up, it's the perfect location to take it all in. Amy was very nice too and made me feel welcome. I met her for a few minutes when she needed to show me how to get into her apartment due to a misunderstanding on my part (sorry Amy!). I would definitely recommend her place to anyone thinking about staying!"

485360,28001549,2015-03-16,26372762,Shawn,Great neighbourhood with lots going on. The apartment was clean and functional and the view is great! Derek was very welcoming. 
485360,28463681,2015-03-24,18016462,Doug,"Derek was an excellent host! Very friendly and informative and spent a generous amount of time chatting to us on arrival about the area and accommodation. We were running a bit late on arrival which was no problem, as Derek was very flexible.
The accommodation is first class and everything we needed for a stay during SXSW music festival...the photos don't do it justice at all its such a nice place. The perfect luxurious hideaway from the madness! It's perfectly located for downtown (we walked to the conference center easily every day, took around 15 minutes nice walk) and it has a quickie pickie grocery/food place next to it which is so useful for any groceries you may need for breakfast or to grab a beer and fast but healthy food. There are lots of amazing food places really close by, its a very cool part of town, there is all different kinds of foods from super healthy vegan etc to very good  American food trucks and BBQ. Sleeper / pullout couch was a slight worry pre stay but was actually SO comfortable, we were shocked how good it was as it has a special memory foam style mattress! We were very comfortable for a whole week sleeping on it, it was as comfortable if not more comfortable as a normal bed. Outdoor space is really cool and the view of the skyline from the apartment is fabulous...amazing view of the state capital Building and downtown. The interior design is really well executed with a top quality finish. Derek had even left us some milk, coffee, cokes and lone star beers in the fridge, we were so jet lagged so this was awesome as we didn't need to go straight out for grocery's! Apartment had all mod cons - kitchen gadgets, big tv, electric blinds. Great for business as well, as the office / desk set up is great and Derek let's you use the mac and printer if you need it.  Would highly recommend a stay with Derek! It was brilliant! We would definitely choose to stay again if we are lucky enough to get back to this awesome city! Austin is by far the coolest city we have ever visited, we were so sad to leave this place!"
485360,28800087,2015-03-30,4265595,Stacey,"Communication with Derek was easy and thorough from the time of booking up to when we arrived. He was responsive and made the ""check-in"" very easy. The description of the condo was accurate (just be sure to read the fine print that the bed is a pull-out sofa). The unit is clean and fully equipped with everything to make the stay comfortable. The neighborhood is terrific, with great restaurants and bars near-by. "

The flat itself is really clean and comfortable, and the outdoor space offers incredible views of the city. We really couldn't recommend this place enough. Derek and his wife were friendly and easy to get hold of if we had any questions."

Marion and his fiance were awesome hosts. They provided all necessities to accommodate me and my group. I would definitely stay here again if I have a chance. Their backyard was large and had a man made fire pit. Wanted to use, but was a burn ban in effect.

4134351,50515891,2015-10-12,44702866,Joshua,"The host was incredibly responsive and proactive in making our stay as comfortable as possible.  The house was exactly as described, and made our stay in Austin much more enjoyable.  The back patio was quite nice in the evenings to sit and talk with friends while the torches burned to keep the mosquitoes at bay.  The inside of the home was comfortable for all of the adults and children, and was big enough to give everyone privacy when needed.  The master bedroom was quite large and perfect for us in the evening.  Everything about this home was perfect for our stay, and when we come through Austin again, this host will be on the top of our list when looking for places to stay. "
4134351,51963425,2015-10-25,20868925,Stephanie,"We had a great time at John's house. Even though it rained most of the weekend, we were still able do plenty in the area and have a cozy place to come back to. The southwest area of Austin is one of my favorite places to stay because everything you need is in the area, but it's still very quiet. I would highly recommend John's house to anyone who wants to stay in the Austin area, I know we will be coming back!"
1834893,8545740,2013-11-04,123208,Jeremiah,"Great place only about a 10 minute walk from ""Dirty 6th"", check-in was flawless and simple (a phone call and email with door code, and boom, you're in!) and the Turn Key team was available 24/7.  The sitting area outside was perfect for enjoying an Austin weekend with friends and the bikes were really convenient to use to cruise around downtown. Definitely Recommend!"
1834893,8709156,2013-11-12,9840658,Max,"Spectacular experience with TurnKey Rentals. Extremely responsive staff, even on weekends. The house was a great location and very comfortable. Thanks!"

1834893,17906700,2014-08-18,6944360,Mahesh,"Beautiful property and highly professional host. It was a pleasure staying at this house - colorful walls and wall art, comfortable bedrooms, cute front yard and very close to Rainey and downtown. In addition, the password protected keyless entry made our arrival and departure very seamless. Erica also let us know in advance that we could check-in and check-out early! My favorite part - the house is temperature controlled by a NEST! Thanks again Erica and we hope to stay at your property again.  

Check out the food truck rodeos that pop up and definitely brunch at Cenote (or try their cold-pressed juice stand) while staying at the property. "
1834893,18962515,2014-09-03,19967533,Annabelle,"I can share similar feedback to what everyone else wrote: we LOVED the yard and spent many happy hours there, and also LOVED the keypad entry which made arrival and departure so easy (a huge plus, as the whole key exchange aspect of house sharing can sometimes be a drag). The home is cozy and we'd definitely stay there again. Thanks Erica! "

Close to Rainey st which was awesome fun. Many thanks guys. "
1834893,22897156,2014-11-17,16520596,Jackie,TurnKey was a great service. They checked in on us when we were due to arrive and I felt like I could contact them if we had any problems at all. Their app was very nice and overall they just felt very accessible.
1834893,23577894,2014-12-05,5476271,Beaudry,"The arrival process was a bit corporate for my tastes - a third party service provider handles all the instructions, etc - but otherwise the property was as promised. Comfortable lounge area, decently equipped kitchen and two bedrooms with comfy beds. Bathroom clean and well appointed. The immediate neighborhood is a bit barren in terms of restaurants, etc, but it's a short walk to downtown or Rainey St."
1834893,25341509,2015-01-12,18145049,Carli,"Our stay was great! The central location is perfect for exploring Austin.  The house was very nice and very clean.  The weekend we stayed was rainy and very cold so we didn't get to experience the cute backyard.  We brought our small dogs with us, so the fenced in yard and doggie door were nice to have.  Would stay here again!"
1834893,25882336,2015-01-28,23140646,Dave,First Air BnB experience couldn't have been smoother. Simple check in/check out process. Great location and within easy walking distance of Rainy St and popular 6th Street. House had everything we required for the three day break. Would recommend to anyone I know planning to stop in Austin. A very comfortable stay had by all.
1834893,26062442,2015-02-02,25903574,Mark,"This residence has a great location within walking distance of E 6th Street, the Scoot Inn, and Cenote.  We had a wonderful stay...if only the weather were a little better, we'd have spent more time enjoying the picnic table outside!"
1834893,26436556,2015-02-12,8179650,Justin,"Great location - walking distance to everything on the East Side. Outside hangout space was rad and, while we didn't get to use them, the bikes are nice touch."
1834893,26698876,2015-02-17,21209759,Claire,"My girlfriends and I really enjoyed staying there. The house is very centrally located and we loved exploring that side of Austin. The house was comfortable, clean and the perfect size for 4 adults. Would definitely recommend!  "
1834893,27647331,2015-03-09,6599380,Jim,"What an ideal little house! I loved the effortless communication with the management company, the offer for both early and late checkout, and the ability to open the door via combination lock without having to meet anyone at a designated time.

The house was just as it appears and is well appointed with soap and shampoo, laundry detergent and even free Keurig coffee.  We attended a conference at the convention center, which is just a short walk away.  Would definitely stay here again."
1834893,27833094,2015-03-13,702834,Renee,"Easy check-in and check-out -- no hassle whatsoever. The house was perfect and well-stocked, and I would recommend staying here to anyone stopping through Austin. It was also a short walk to the convention center, which was extremely convenient for SXSW. Thanks, Erica!"
1834893,28115825,2015-03-18,3271303,Alexander,"Well maintained place that is clearly only being used for Airbnb and not being lived in, so furnishings are sparse but perfect for crashing. It's in East Austin so everything that comes with that. Had a Nest and Android and some other nice amenities. Side yard is cool. Perfect for crashing."
1834893,30873789,2015-04-28,29132628,Anna,"We were delighted with our experience in this cute house. The apartment was accurately described. The house was clean, well stocked, had ample space for 4 people, good parking and was close to lots of interesting Austin neighborhoods! "
1834893,33117606,2015-05-25,10626073,Amelia,"Loved the neighborhood – so many cool spots to check out within immediate walking distance. House was as described and we loved having the yard for outdoor lounging. Though the bikes could use some tuning up, they were great to have (we rode along the river to Barton Springs). All in all a great stay!"

1834893,35569957,2015-06-20,16998655,Kristine,"The house was well kempt and inviting. The neighborhood was quiet and very walkable. The house is not as close to Rainey St as the description states, but the walk to that area takes but 10 minutes. East Austin is an up and coming neighborhood with lots of delicious places to eat and drink. You would be foolish to stay anywhere else. "
1834893,37472290,2015-07-07,4753986,Marshall,"The unit was cetrally located within walking distance to car2go cars and a great coffee place (Cenote) that was always open when we needed it. Easy and fast to reach the renter when we had a small issue with the door. Everything was great, a very comfortable stay. "
1834893,39978815,2015-07-27,13279256,Anthony,Great communication and house was exactly as described.  Would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin!
1834893,46164025,2015-09-08,22894311,Spencer,"The house was a nice little vintage piece of Austin! Location is convenient if you're looking to explore the East Austin nightlife or just head into downtown. Depending on who you're traveling with, you might want to be aware that the floor plan doesn't afford you a lot of privacy where the bathroom is concerned -- it's located right between the two bedrooms, so you might be waking each other up at night. But the house is otherwise quite comfortable and the convenience factor makes it worth your while."
1834893,46929525,2015-09-14,25903574,Mark,"Thanks, Erica.  We had a great weekend!"
1834893,52751374,2015-11-01,24998553,Andy,Great space as advertised - centrally located and super easy to walk to bars on E 6th and Rainey. The TurnKey folks were very responsive when I called with questions pertaining to the house. Would recommend this place to anyone.

2267681,43783127,2015-08-22,37169049,Michele,"Tutto ok!
Casa vicinissima al downtown, zona tranquilla, a 15 minuti dall'aeroporto.
Casa fornita di tutto, ottima se si vuole essere indipendenti!aria condizionata (indispensabile) molto efficiente,  elettrodomestici super, due bagni e due camere ampie e due bagni, giardino all'esterno, tutto quello di cui si può aver bisogno.
Ideale per due coppie.
Katherine si è dimostrata gentilissima e alla mano.
Nessun problema da segnalare."
5819674,33802283,2015-06-01,18474758,Hallie,"Kerry and Carole where such great hosts! The house was great and fit the four of us perfectly. The neighborhood was in walking distance to both 1st street and South Congress. Downtown and Town Lake were a quick cab ride down the rode. They left some great books out for us listing the best places to eat in Austin and gave us some recommendations for activities in the area. Our experience in Austin was wonderful, largely due to the hospitality of Kerry and Carole. I would highly recommend staying here!"
5819674,44351469,2015-08-25,5322370,Lindsey,"Can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay here. The location was excellent! Walking distance or a short drive to several attractions and restaurants. The house was very clean and had everything we needed and more to have a comfortable stay. Kerry and Carole went out of their way to ensure a nice stay for us, including flexible check in and out times and providing baby gear for our 18 month old. They responded quickly to any questions I had before and during our stay. Would highly recommend staying here."
5819674,48894749,2015-09-29,41478016,Dan,"This was a great place to stay in Austin.  The house was as expected and everything was very clean and in good shape.  Carole and Kerry were excellent hosts - they stayed in communication with me prior to the trip to make sure the house would be ready with what we needed, and went out of their way during our stay to ensure we were enjoying ourselves.  In addition, having supplies and equipment in the house to accommodate my 8 month old was a life saver!  My older children really enjoyed playing in the nicely enclosed back yard as well.
The location was good.  Great food trucks in walkable distance, a very short drive to Barton Springs, and getting downtown or to the river (lake?) was a breeze.  In addition there is a really cool little park just across the street from the house with a couple of swings and a walking path that was fun for my kids and I to explore.
In short, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and would recommend this rental to others."
5819674,52683850,2015-11-01,10716170,Kevin,"The house was great, and Kerry was great about making sure we felt comfortable in our lodging. The place is very cute and in a fabulous location, and I would definitely recommend staying there!"

Cindy was incredibly communicative, providing awesome detail about the location, getting around and more. She was quick to respond and a perfect host. I LOVE her guest house - everything you could need and tastefully appointed. Perfect place for my stay in Austin. "
4371967,28938491,2015-04-01,8552547,Michael,"We recently spent a week in Cindy's condo.  She'd given us instructions to enter the condo but she later stopped by to welcome us & see if we had questions. She gave an accurate description of the condo. It's beautiful!  We didn't cook while we were there because there's too many food trucks and restaurants to visit, but it looks like it'd be a great place to cook. There's also a table & chairs set and a grill in the yard for your use. 
Each morning we sat on the porch in Adirondack chairs, drinking coffee as we watched 2 pairs of doves build their nests in the pecan trees on the property.  The neighborhood seemed safe when we went walking at night.  The privacy fence makes it nice for sitting outdoors. There's a small store and a couple of restaurants within walking distance. There's a H.E.B. grocery that's easy to drive to and they make fresh tortillas. We thought it conveniently located.
The queen size bed is comfortable. There's plenty of drawers & closet space so you don't have to live out of a suitcase.  There's two large screen TV's with ATT U-verse cable & wifi.  The shower is awesome. 
Cindy answered my emails quickly and gave us phone numbers to reach her if we needed anything.
If we're in Austin again we'll definitely check to see if Cindy's condo is available.
Michael & Susan"

4371967,32255558,2015-05-16,29288254,Karin,"Cindy was a welcoming host and attentive when WiFi and TV went out due to storms.

We enjoyed making dinner and the outdoor grill. There were plenty of towels for us and the living areas were comfortable. The wifi was slow and sometimes insufficient to watch netflix alone.  We enjoyed the quiet confortability as well as the neighborhood and convienence to heb ect. Thank you cindy for lending us your beautiful city condo!

My only complaint is that the room I stayed in didn't seem to be prepared; personal items were left in the (email hidden)e sheets on the bed had crumbs and hair on them. I ran them through the washer and dryer shortly after checking in.  (My host was asleep and the washer/dryer was easy to access) Aside from that issue I really enjoyed my stay.

We felt really at home: watching tv, cooking, going out, swimming, playing with the dog, and a lot of privacy as well. They had real good travel advice for us. We discovered local bars, hidden places to swim, good music,.... The location is really good as well, next to the water and at max 15 min biking from city center (bikes are available for free). And, Russel is a great cook!!"

Lena and Russel made our first Airbnb experience something that we'll remember!"

Lena is a wonderful host, very helpful and communicative.  There are a few places within walking distance to eat and have coffee including starbucks, a local place called buzz mill (definitely ask Lena about this place I enjoyed having first rate coffee there) and baby A's mexican food.

The bedroom was clean and practical with a very good bed. Overall very positive experience that I can recommend to others. 
"
7620140,44217109,2015-08-24,2050181,Carrie,"Lena welcomed me when I arrived. It was a warm welcome, she showed me around and to my room. I had the best time staying there. I spent two of my evenings hanging with her and the dogs. Don't pass this place up when staying in Austin. They will make you feel right at home. "
7620140,45299525,2015-09-01,36373646,Jennifer,"Host were very friendly, helpful, and accomadating. Location was perfect for me to get to downtown convention center. Space was as described and would stay again. I'd recommend. Thanks for making my trip better. "
7620140,46070837,2015-09-07,43009392,Jennifer,"Lena and Russel were absolutely wonderful hosts, and my stay was great. Lena was a fantastic communicator right from the get-go, and she really welcomed me into her social group. The apartment is cozy, the area is phenomenal (I walked to and from downtown at night), and I dont think there's anyone who could make me feel more at home than Lena did. She really embodies the ""belong anywhere"" idea, and made that possible for me. "
7620140,46253715,2015-09-08,25542661,Stephen,Lena was excellent. The place was wonderful and I was very happy to stay there.  
7620140,47013936,2015-09-14,43895918,Evelyn C,Our stay was great. Lena was very welcoming. The location is as advertised--less than 5 min to DT and off of town lake. Didn't spend a lot of time at the apt since we pretty much just dropped our bags off and then came back to sleep for a few hours before leaving but nonetheless the accommodations were very comfortable/clean and Lena was very nice! She was very responsive to messages before we arrived. Would def stay here again! 
7620140,47725853,2015-09-21,21574283,Charise,"This place was fantastic - I wish I could have stayed longer.
Lena was a great communicator from the start and so welcoming when I arrived. I only met Russell very briefly but he seemed lovely too. 
The room was really comfortable and clean and the apartment was cool on a hot! day.  The location was perfect - really central.  Parking is available and the place was really easy to find.
I went to a craft brewers festival (within walking distance) and only stayed one night but enjoyed Lena's and the dogs' company watching some tv. The pool looked great but didnt have the chance to use it.
I would highly recommend staying here - its friendly, comfortable and just a great place to stay."
7620140,47853007,2015-09-21,43505711,Adam,"Great room, excellent location, and Lena + Russell were very accommodating! I forgot to ask Lena early on if bringing a dog was ok, but she was super flexible so myself and my friend was still able to bring her dog. Literally a one minute walk to the gorgeous river walk, and easy drive everywhere else. Definitely stay here if you have the chance!"
7620140,47949249,2015-09-21,10189400,Dennis,Lena was welcoming and pleasant. Everything was as described and I enjoyed my stay albeit short. The location and direct access to the Lady Bird Lake trail is awesome!
7620140,48149305,2015-09-23,37489270,Maximillan,Lena was an amazing host! She made sure that I felt like I was at home. Very caring and considerate! Her home is perfectly position right next to the Colorado River with a boardwalk and can take kayaks out to see the bats! I hope that I can visit the awesome city of Austin again and definitely stay with Lena once more!
7620140,48824944,2015-09-28,5208916,Erik,"I had an excellent time staying with Lena and Russell, they were great hosts who made sure I had everything I needed and gave me a lot of great tips of things to do in Austin. We even went out for Sushi the first night and they took me to a fantastic spot! The apartment was great in a prime location if you're wanting to be by the water and the really cool new Boardwalk. Easy walk or cheap lyft to Rainy st. and downtown Austin. I could come and go as I wanted and really felt at home staying with them. Russell is an amazing artist and shared some of his work with me, which was great! I highly recommend staying here, it was my first Air bnb experience and I hope in the future all my experiences are like this :)"
7620140,49833225,2015-10-06,3748716,Lauren,She picked us up from the airport and was extremely welcoming - giving suggestions of things in the area and ways for us to get around. The room was all ready for us and was very clean and comfortable! 
7620140,50112261,2015-10-09,19409695,Andrea,"La ubicación y la habitación son muy buenas, ademas Lena y Russell son verdaderos anfitriones, alojamiento recomendable.
"
7620140,50602443,2015-10-12,27825680,Adam,"Lena was a great host! She gave us helpful suggestions and even offered to pick us up from downtown. The apartment is right on the lake, which is perfect if you want to go paddle boarding or kayaking."
7620140,50906320,2015-10-15,26854093,Alison,"Location was brilliant! Right on the south side of the lake, with direct access to the boardwalk that runs along the lake side.

Our host Lena was great! She responded quickly to any messages we sent her beforehand to arrange plans for our arrival, and gave us loads of useful information about the area and other details that were handy for visitors to the US!"
7620140,51042864,2015-10-17,17639128,Daniel,"Lena was an excellent and gracious host. She was accommodating and had great suggestions about the city (listen to her on the breakfast tacos!) and genuinely care that I enjoyed my stay in the city. She even hooked me up with free paddle boarding and was dog sitting some pretty adorable pup for an added bonus. 

Highly recommended for your stay. "
7620140,51378480,2015-10-19,46155995,Alexander,I had a great time staying with Lena. She was very flexible with accommodating my schedule in terms of arriving and coming and going. The room was great and the mattress was really comfortable. Location was great too. Thanks Lena!
7620140,51592671,2015-10-21,46778991,Charles," This is my first time using Airbnb in Austin and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
 Lena was a wonderful hostess and made me feel right at home. I spent two days at her home and was able to come and go easily on public transit. 
 The location was very quiet and beautiful with a walking trail next to the river that revealed the beautiful skyline of Austin.
 I would recommend Lena's place to anyone who wants a quiet, clean and comfortable room very close to downtown Austin."
7620140,52980636,2015-11-03,98491,Mary,"Lena was very welcoming and returned my texts/emails promptly. The room was exactly as shown and the bathroom was clean and tidy. Didn't get a chance to explore the neighbourhood, but I did get to walk the trail along the water, which was beautiful and very accessible (about a 40 min. walk to the downtown core). Lena also provided some 'car service' which made life easier and saved me some money too. "
341909,3778883,2013-03-14,3589446,Heidrun,"We had a very good stay at Eileen's house during SXSW Interactive. The house is just 20 minutes walk away from the convention center in a nice and calm neighboorhood, and with a shop and breakfast tacos right across the street. The house was clean and with a nice backyard, and Eileen had left us coffee and eggs and all the information we needed for a great stay. "
341909,8816389,2013-11-19,3725399,Peter,"I was in town with two other guys for the F1 weekend. I managed a decent arrangement last year and thought I would try it again, with a slightly larger closer location. I found Eileen's listing and after some discussion we decided it was an acceptable place. It turned out to be a great match of location, space, privacy, and convenience. We walked to alot of our destinations, and found some unexpected great plaecs nearby. Juan in  Million for Bfast- was a great time, as was the several times we ate pizza at Buffalina. The White Horse is a great honky tonk, and our hostess Eileen helped us put our plans together perfectly. We would definitely stay again, and will try to make more time to relax and get to Chicken shit bingo!"
341909,10917070,2014-03-13,8593248,Devon,"Eileen (and her place!) were great. Lots of sleeping places and comfortable living space. Very equipped kitchen with coffees, teas, condiments and full cooking ware. Beautiful outdoor space. Great master shower. Convenient to small convenience store. Flexible owner. Owner supplied enough keys for everyone in group to have her own set. Could use designated closet space for guests. Overall, great house, neighborhood, clean, etc."
341909,20820388,2014-10-06,1420264,David,"From the booking inquiry to meeting at the house, Eileen was very responsive and helpful.  The house in a great location in east Austin.  

Eileen's house is clean, comfortable and perfect for our group of four people.

Thanks for everything!"
341909,22288154,2014-11-03,4609035,Wendi,"We had a great visit in Austin and the house was perfect. Eileen gave us great recommendations on where to eat and go out - all were fantastic.
The kitchen had everything we needed and she even left us a few snacks and fresh coffee, which I enjoyed on the porch in the morning. It's our 3rd trip to Austin using airbnb and if we have the chance to come back next year, this will be our first choice. 
Thanks Eileen! "
341909,28066695,2015-03-17,5303680,Christopher,"Eileen's place was perfectly located and a great place to explore all of Austin. The home itself is very nice, clean and comfortable. The patio is a perfect place to chill and have a beer. Eileen is a gracious host and checked in on us to make sure we were ok and provided snacks for us to munch on. Overall, two very enthusiastic thumbs up."
3122149,16137109,2014-07-22,17475660,Joanne,"My family and I had a great stay in Austin. The house was really comfortable and in a great location. (You can actually walk to Barton Springs!) The people at Tree Top Rentals were extremely helpful and got back to me quickly when I had a question. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and there was a bonus of a tiny little 3rd bedroom upstairs with just a twin bed in it that came in handy. Two things I would note... 1-Try not to arrive at night (it's really hard to find the house and parking for the 1st time. Doing it in the dark was pretty complicated. 2-The parking that comes with the house is on a steep pitch so if you're squeemish about fitting into a tight spot on an incline or if you drive a car with a clutch, I'd be wary. All in all, it was a great experience with an awesome house and location! I would love to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
3122149,16430949,2014-07-27,12545626,Anna,This was a wonderful stay! We absolutely loved that the host got back to us very quickly all the time. 
3122149,19411812,2014-09-12,11100926,Robert,"Awesome location and perfect vacation pad. This place had everything me and my friends wanted: walking distance to Barton Springs, quaint neighbourhood, not too far from downtown. Plus Chuy's is around the corner (Tex Mex heaven)."
3122149,20792618,2014-10-05,2547175,Kelly,"We had a good trip to Austin!  Check in/out was a breeze and our stay was nice.  The location is very convenient, especially for our purposes - ACL.  Our hosts even left us a blanket, two chairs, and bottled waters to take to the festival with us - so considerate!
Booking the place over the weekend is not ideal, as they don't check airbnb between Friday and Sunday, so I had to call to make sure my reservation would be approved.  Additionally, though the rooms are spacious, the beds are definitely not the most comfortable!  Parking is ample, but a big car is not easy to get thru the alleyway, as several other cars and trailers are parked throughout, blocking the way.  
All in all, it fit our needs and I would recommend it to others going to the festival."
3122149,24750395,2015-01-02,3383727,Ryan,"Lovely place and great neighborhood location.  Hosts were easy to contact, and accommodated our travel issues with such grace I coudn't believe it.  Thanks so much!"
3122149,25782736,2015-01-25,21779241,Tiffany,Truly perfect! The location is fantastic and the duplex is so quaint and private. The home was clean and our host was very helpful and easy to get in touch with. This was our first experience using airbnb and we hope that the experiences that follow are just like this one! Thank you!
3122149,28787162,2015-03-30,26423740,Marilyn,The listing description was spot on. This rental was very clean in a quiet neighborhood really close to Zilker Park. We enjoyed having our coffee out in the balcony every morning. Park is walking distance and were only a 10-15 min drive into 6th Street. Only complaint would be that we wanted to watch some good TV late night but the channel selection was not great.
3122149,30698354,2015-04-26,2486905,Ripley,"We loved everything about this rental.  The location, the space, the thoughtful details.  It was incredibly clean and spacious and the decor is cool and modern.  Top trip rentals are incredible too.  We couldn't have been happier!

It is an Austin STEAL.  

Highly, highly recommend it.  "
3122149,35511023,2015-06-19,18747181,Mandeep,"It was a great unit, very open and spacious with large bedrooms. Loved it."

5258002,28432724,2015-03-23,14500895,Ivana,"Super cool hosts!. They sent us SMSs with all the required information in advance. The house was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was great. Anthony cooked the best breakfast eggs I've ever had.
I'd totally recommend it. They are super nice, they made us feel home. 
"
5258002,31399542,2015-05-04,31171911,Emily,"The house is amazing and Antony was extremely responsive from afar throughout the entire process.  He made us feel very welcome with lots of useful information, a few welcome treats, and checked on us throughout our stay.  Couldn't have had a more comfortable and lovely stay in Austin!  Thanks!  "
5258002,32000943,2015-05-12,6122211,Camden,We loved staying at The Barn. It was minutes from downtown and also very close to the venue of the event we were attending. Antony was very thorough! We would he happy come back. This definitely won't be our last trip to Austin. 
5258002,33140166,2015-05-25,18723895,Raul,My sister and I stayed at Antony and Ashley's place for 3 nights and we were very pleased with everything. Place was very clean and had everything we expected. Antony makes great coffee and cooked us a delicious breakfast. We got to meet some of his friends when we survived the unexpected torrential rains that came down during the Memorial Day weekend. Luckily we had a great night staying in playing card games and having a great time. Would highly recommend Antony's place.
5258002,35177112,2015-06-15,27377564,Candace,"This home was absolutely gorgeous!!  After going inside I believe the listing did it no justice.  Peeking into the lives of the couple through their personal pictures on the wall and creative decorating techniques made them seem so interesting and I wish they had been home while we were staying there.

They had absolutely everything we needed, even the things I forgot, and welcome us to use any and everything they had in their home. There was something about their spirit, you could tell they were very humble and had a great passion for people.  Even though they were away, they were always a quick message or phone call within reach.  

I truly enjoyed my stay at the barn and went home wanting to redecorate my entire house!!

Thank you both for your splendid hospitality!!"
5258002,37353251,2015-07-06,34758294,Austin,"What a nice stay in Austin on the 4th of July weekend!  Antony and his wife made us feel totally at home!  In addition to the best eggs and bacon I've can remember having (prepared freshly each morning when we awoke), they made wonderful hosts with whom we quickly became friends with.  Sharing mixed drinks, music likes, and time, I'd unhesitatingly recommend them as great hosts.  

They even made a fresh batch of ice cream for us after letting us pick any flavor we could find in a book of recipies!

Thank you for such an accomodating, friendly, and easy-going weekend.  We hope to visit you guys again."
5258002,38235858,2015-07-13,17051807,Brandon,"I felt incredibly welcome staying at The Barn. It is an awesome place. Felt as if i were at home. Wait.... I was! Every aspect of this place was excellent! From the time i booked, till the time I left, I had a wonderful time. I almost just wanted to hang out at the barn/house with the hosts. Yeah... that cool. Breakfast was good. I got some education on many foods and even had to try somethings i didn't know i would like (some with a little hot sauce!). And I am not talking about tabasco for all you people that think they can take spicy. The drinks were wonderful. No simple whiskey and coke here. nope nope nope. You will learn new things and have a great time while staying here. Meet ""Big Mac"", as I started calling him. 
Over all, great experience. would stay here again. There are more things i could talk about. Just stay there and find out for yourself!.

A+ 5 Star"
5258002,47705059,2015-09-21,7895035,Hillary,"We had such a relaxing stay at Antony and Ashley's beautiful home! They checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we were doing OK. We absolutely loved the decor and enjoyed browsing the great books they had. We would have loved to sit and have dinner with them, they seem so interesting! The place was so very comfortable and cozy. The convenience store right around the corner had a great selection of beer and wine and great breakfast tacos in the morning! Definitely recommend staying here."
5258002,49761143,2015-10-06,32783178,Juan Pablo,"The Barn is a really comfortable place to stay, my friends and myself enjoyed it. Unfortunately we haven't had the chance to meet our hosts but they left everything ready. We will look forward to stay there in our next visit. Thank you!"
5258002,52218947,2015-10-27,5562200,Marlene,"Staying at the Barn was an enjoyable experience. The house is spacious, modern, well appointed, and very comfortable. Antony was good to work with and very accommodating. We four guests had a very nice stay and look forward to the opportunity to, hopefully, stay at the Barn, again."
4117357,48044689,2015-09-22,24660972,Ashley,"Dominic was an absolutely fantastic host.  The house was beautiful, clean, spacious, and exactly as he explained it would be.  Super comfortable and cozy in the shared space, and my room was also fantastic.

The interaction between Dominic and I before I arrived was great.  His responses were prompt and helpful, and he was super flexible with my arrival time and check-out which I really appreciated.

I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!  A super friendly and helpful host, a great location (East Austin, about $15 Uber ride to downtown and about $12 from the airport), a nice clean comfortable house.  It was fantastic.  I would absolutely try to stay there again next time I'm in Austin.  Thank you so much Dominic! "
6224832,35164583,2015-06-15,35145663,Kj,"We enjoyed our stay here very much. Place was clean, had all the amenities we needed, including extra air mattresses and Terrance was extremely helpful in responding quickly to anything that came up. We definitely recommend this place to anyone stopping through Austin. "
6224832,35854220,2015-06-22,35253413,Brittany,"This house was perfect and Terrance was wonderfully helpful!  
The house itself is decorated adorably, in a safe neighborhood close to downtown, and had ample space for all 11 of us!
Terrance was detailed in his instructions and easy to get in touch with.  We didn't need anything in the time we were there, but if we had I'm sure he would have been able to help us out in a heartbeat.
Overall a great experience!"
6224832,36820708,2015-07-01,33580338,Andrea,Terrance was an excellent host and responded quickly to any of my questions. The house was in amazing condition and looked just like the pics.  We had everything we needed and plenty of room for the 9 people I was with. I can't wait to stay here again! I myself was impressed as was everyone I brought.
6224832,36924249,2015-07-02,36880504,Ryan,Terrance was a wonderful host. Always prompt and easy to reach. The house was spotless and perfect for our needs. Next time I'm in Austin I would love to stay here again!

6224832,38175796,2015-07-13,36380366,Taylor,"Terrance was extremely quick to reply to all my questions before and during my stay at the house. He was very helpful and accommodating. The house was clean, spacious and a perfect fit for my friends and I. It was located minutes away from an HEB, good restaurants/bars and downtown Austin. I would definitely stay at the house again. "
6224832,39970582,2015-07-27,6617159,Darren,"Great little house in Austin is perfect for a small group (6-8 people). Terrance is very responsive and goes above and beyond the usual Airbnb owner in providing his guests with amenities you don't normally see (i.e, shampoo, soap, closet full of towels, air mattress, stocked pantry and fridge for the basics). Location is great--close to airport and downtown, we just uber'ed it all over town.  We had a great time and I'd recommend this house to anyone.  "
6224832,40101162,2015-07-28,18480289,Emilia,"Terrence's house was the perfect fit for us. Very close to everything good Austin has to offer, yet it's in a quiet neighborhood. House was clean, beds were super comfortable, and the patio was lovely. "
6224832,41106962,2015-08-04,12426275,Sumon,"Terrance was super responsive, always available if there were any issues and a pleasure to deal with.  

The house was well stocked with everything you could need.  Neighbors were nice and it's a quick Uber ride to downtown Austin.  It worked well for 6 of us."

6224832,46147906,2015-09-08,39156018,Jeffrey,"Terrance provided an incredible listing. It had every amenity we could need. The only time we had to run to the store was for food or drink. The house was next to a number of great places to eat and within a $10 Uber ride to 6th street. Terrance was also available whenever we needed him to answer any questions or concerns. The house fit eleven of us comfortably, and when we showed up it was extremely clean."
6224832,47232375,2015-09-16,4241628,Nicholas,"Terrance is awesome! He was responsive and helpful every time I had a question and was very upfront about house expectations, check-in / check-out time, and anything else I needed to know before our visit.

His house is great too - it comfortably slept 5 of us with 2 people on air mattresses and 3 on beds. There is a great backyard with a patio and hammock, and it's a 5-10 min. ride from downtown Austin (Rainey St. and 6th St.). He also generously left us some beer in the fridge, which is always appreciated!

I highly recommend staying at Big Party House / with Terrance and would definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin."
6224832,47662926,2015-09-21,4385508,Francisco Javier,"The house exceeded our expectations, it was perfect for a group of 6 people. The home was clean, well furnished and spacious. It's in a quiet residential neighborhood on the East Side, $10 uber ride to airport and most popular destinations (6th Street, Rainey Street, UT, etc.) The house provides all the amenities you need if you want to cook at home or cater in food.  I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this rental.  Thanks again Terrance!"
6224832,48708182,2015-09-28,40131882,Kelly,The house was absolutely wonderful!  We received an itinerary shortly after we booked which covered every aspect of the house.  There was plenty of room for everyone our group and it was easy to get to downtown.  This was the first time I had used Airbnb and had a wonderful experience thanks to Terrance.  I would definitely stay here again.  
6224832,49610832,2015-10-05,38799477,Abbey,"Terrance was AMAZING!!! The house was just as it looked in the pictures and we had plenty of room for 11 girls for a bachelorette party. We had more than enough towels, sheets, soap etc. for the weekend and the kitchen was stocked with everything we could have needed. The location was great; there was a fun coffee shop in an old refurbished air-stream trailer (so Austin!) and a grocery store just up the street. Everything we wanted to get to was just a 10 min Uber away. The only thing that would have made this weekend better was if Terrance could have joined us for a drink! He was so accommodating and flexible. It was a great experience. We will definitely stay with him again! Thanks Terrance!!"
6224832,50352181,2015-10-11,4326474,Henry,"We all had a fantastic 2 nights in Austin. We did ACL, The Chive's HQ, Rainy St, 'Dirty' 6th and a unusual eating experience in Counter Culture.
We turned up in two groups and found the house to be in great order with some beers in the fridge and the beds already made.
Keycode entry was painless and we found everything we could need for any type of stay, certainly for 9 blokes on holiday.
The neighbourhood restrictions on partying would have ruined it, so the simplest way was avoid the house party option and head into the centre. Just an easy Uber ride for 10 minutes.

Cleanup instructions are clear and accurate so we got it done as a team using the kit provided, no dramas. 

An excellent place to stay in Austin."
6224832,51274182,2015-10-19,39448859,Jennie,"Terrance was an absolutely amazing host!  He was very accommodating and and we felt so welcome in his house.  He was also very easily available to give recommendations and answer any questions we had, which we really appreciated! The house was so adorable (and so clean!) and looked exactly as pictured.  Terrance has the house so well-stocked with any kitchen items/tools/cleaning products you would need for cooking and more!  We especially appreciated the coffee maker.  There were plenty of towels for the weekend, and the bathrooms were stocked with plenty of shampoo/conditioner/body wash/soap.  The house was more than comfortable enough for 11 girls for the weekend!  We used two of the air mattresses as well.  They were really nice, and the girls who slept on them slept great and said they were very comfortable.  the location was great - so close to both the airport and downtown Austin!  The grocery store was about a 15 minute walk from the house, so it was nice to only have to Uber back with our bags instead of both ways.
We didn't have any issues with the neighborhood noise restrictions - just didn't spend time in large groups outside at night and tried to stay aware of our noise levels.
We would definitely recommend Terrance's place to anyone traveling to Austin and would love to stay with him again!  This was my first experience with Airbnb, and Terrance definitely set the bar high!  Thank you so much, Terrance!"

From the beginning to the end Terrance was extremely helpful whether it be my questions about Austin itself, check in or check out procedures, and minor bumps in the road while we were in Texas. I would absolutely rent from him again without a second thought."
6391710,37204087,2015-07-05,32306270,Malcolm,I highly recommend a booking with Tim. He and his wife are fantastic hosts and went well above the norm to make this a great stay for my family. The property is top notch HGTV style ! There wasn't anything we needed that wasn't already there to make the week seamless. Our next trip to Austin we will book ahead to stay here again.
6391710,37612498,2015-07-08,11429486,Jeffro,Tim was a great host! He was very welcoming and had some lovely tips on Austin. The place is very modern and clean. We really enjoyed our stay with Tim.
6391710,38448962,2015-07-15,35395877,Wally,"Tim made us feel totally at home.  The communication with Tim prior to arrival was prompt and made it easy to find the home and access was simple.  Parking was great.  The added special snacks made the whole experience awesome.  The apartment is PRISTINE, it could not have been cleaner if we had stayed in the at the Mayo Clinic in the transplant ward.  Thanks for making our first Airbnb experience fantastic!"
6391710,38875431,2015-07-19,3382690,Tim,"Our stay at Tim's apartment was probably our best Airbnb experience yet.  The apartment is wonderfully clean, fresh, new, contemporary, and in a quiet setting close to downtown, the airport, and other destinations in the Austin area.  He made us feel very welcome, with some snacks, a map and list of restaurant recommendations, and information on everything in the apartment from the thermostat to the laundry, and he was responsive when we needed assistance.  We would highly recommend this location for a restful, serene, and well-appointed place to stay."
6391710,39862041,2015-07-26,26975505,Lucjan,"An amazing apartment, very hospitable welcome. We meant to see Austin and stayed in much more than we wanted to because the apartment was so great!"
6391710,40164380,2015-07-28,165854,Abby,"This was one of the best Airbnb places I have stayed. I have used Airbnb a long time and traveled over Europe.  The apartment was new, great location, had snacks and water this was much appreciated! Great experience."
6391710,40397323,2015-07-30,37892700,Sean,"Great space, immaculately clean, thoughtful amenities. I will defiantly  go back when I'm in Austin. "
6391710,40851224,2015-08-02,11326387,Nityanand,"Tim's garage apartment is perfect for a short stay in Austin. Close to pretty much everything there is to do in Austin (short drive or bus ride), the apartment is spacious, private and exceptionally clean and comfortable. I slept on the sofa bed which was firm and very comfortable and my cousins slept in the room which was just as comfortable.
Tim met us personally and took the time to answer questions that I had about Austin. He stocked the apartment with many comforts beyond our expectations. 
The apartment itself is well furnished, well laid out and very well stocked. I will definitely stay here again."
6391710,41271726,2015-08-05,27323114,Tiffany,"Tim met us at the house upon arrival and was very accommodating and friendly. The apartment was very clean and modern and had everything we needed. They have all the amenities you need and more including: toiletries and shower items, washer and dryer with detergent, bottled drinks and snacks. We were considering staying at a hotel in downtown but are glad we stayed here. The location is close to many local attractions and good food. "
6391710,42555297,2015-08-14,1676443,Jason,"WOW! Tim and Pat were great hosts! They greeted us with a nice  Texas cabernet and fresh flowers. The location is great and so close to eateries, bars and grocery stores - also close to downtown Austin! This was by far the BEST airbnb we have stayed at - very clean, beautiful kitchen, comfortable bed and nice modern decor. Would highly recommend staying here for your visit to Austin! "
6391710,43819729,2015-08-22,10881624,Stewart,As my first AirBnB experience this was hands down one of the nicest places I have every stayed in! Im afraid I have been spoiled! Tim handed over a clean and serene property with many amenities none of the least to mention a fully stocked snack drawer and popcorn cabinet! If you are coming to Austin I highly recommend this rental.
6391710,44688587,2015-08-28,3579181,Robyn,"Tim's place is exactly as described, plus a lot more.  The apartment feels like a place one or two people could call home.  Tim and his wife have gone out of their way to add little touches and amenities that make it really easy to settle in to life there.  Plus, the deck on the roof is a great place to watch life go by.  And the stars.

My husband and I both would highly recommend the apartment to family and friends."
6391710,44985885,2015-08-30,923836,John,Terrific.  Tim was an excellent host and the apartment is incredible.  Highly recommended.  Will definitely be back.
6391710,45996413,2015-09-07,14447350,Stephen,"Outstanding experience, extremely well taken care of, thoroughly thought through stay. Set a completely different standard for AirBnB. Extremely clean with personal touches included that made the house feel like our home for the weekend. Tim was kind enough to introduce himself and offered to assist with anything else we could have needed, although he and Pat had already thought through everything. Highly recommend, extremely modern look and feel, amazing rooftop. Great location, walking distance to East Austin bars, quick uber to west downtown."
6391710,46806490,2015-09-13,4399331,Elizabeth,"This is an amazing space AND location. The apartment is beautifully decorated, and well stocked. Tim and Pat have really set the bar high. Highly recommend!"
6391710,47370691,2015-09-18,31213845,Derek,"This apartment is absolutely immaculate and very VERY well designed. The spacious, fresh interior  is a breath of fresh air in the Texas heat. 

Speaking of heat if you want some of that you can easily go upstairs to the roof deck to relax or walk 3-5 minutes to the park by the river. 

The location is fantastic, very quiet neighbourhood but no more than a 15-20 minute walk to awesome Rainey St. 

The hosts could not have been better with the drinks, snacks and recommendations they left and were always available to answer any questions. 

Cannot rate this highly enough. 

Thanks!!!"
6391710,47644241,2015-09-21,14950932,Whitney,"Tim and Pat were incredibly gracious hosts. We were delighted to enter the apt and see a gorgeous, modern interior, fresh sunflowers on the table,  with an incredible kitchen and bathroom! Complimentary bottle of wine, snacks and drinks in the fridge awaited us as well. They were nice enough to leave a great list of activities nearby and food recommendations. Convenient location, walking distance to Rainey St.. We still picked up an uber to downtown, about an 8 min ride. Would recommend this apartment to anyone coming into the Austin area.. We didn't want to leave! "
6391710,48603676,2015-09-27,44093990,Russell,This is honestly one of the best experiences that we've had with Airbnb. Myself and three friends were visiting Austin for the weekend. Tim left us a very nice welcoming basket along with recommendations for night life and food to eat. The space was very clean and everything worked as it should. We will definitely be using Tim again when we come back to visit. 
6391710,49178638,2015-10-01,37892700,Sean,"My favorite place to stay in Austin, love the space, spotless clean and super comfortable. Five stars!"
6391710,50434038,2015-10-12,28580988,Gina,"One of the best Airbnb experiences I've had yet! This property was stunning inside and Tim welcomed us with a bottle of wine, a stocked fridge of refreshments, and a guide with local restaurant recommendations. Also, Rainey Street/Downtown was a walkable distance so being carless for the weekend was no sweat. Staying here definitely made our first ACL adventure very memorable!"
6391710,50990500,2015-10-16,9354262,Hal,"My stay with Tim and Pat was one of the best experiences with Airbnb. Their garage apartment was well-kept, easy to find, And beautifully decorated with the perfect simple, modern furniture.

I was greeted with a nice personal note and a bottle of wine. I will definitely be back to stay with them again, and will return the favor with some local beer from my neighborhood brewery!"
6391710,51130116,2015-10-18,39149949,Erin,"Tim was extremely welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was clean and comfortable, the location was central, the bathroom is stocked should you leave something behind, and he leaves snacks, drinks, and wine which is the perfect added touch!"
6391710,51467084,2015-10-20,430059,Danne,"This place was AMAZING. The space itself is beautiful, spacious, and modern and has everything that you could possibly need—including a gigantic roof deck...probably my favorite feature. They really go above and beyond with the finishing touches too (snacks, wine, extra travel toiletries in case you forgot something, and etc.). The locations is perfect, walking distance to a number of restaurants and bars and a short Uber ride into the city center. We will absolutely be staying here again when we visit Austin in the future and I would recommend it to anyone. I've stayed in a number of Airbnbs and this one really takes the cake. A+! "
6391710,51709315,2015-10-24,4723959,Jake,"I feel the pictures don't do this place justice, it's amazing. Everything seems brand new and well designed. The fridge was stocked with many beverages and snacks on the counter. There was a welcome bottle of wine and detailed information about the area in regards to places to eat, drink, and be active. The shower was very large and the bed really comfy. If it hadn't been raining, I may have enjoyed a few beers on the rooftop patio. I would definitely recommend this location to others."
6391710,52393275,2015-10-29,16578544,Azadi,"This was an excellent place to stay, with warm and welcoming hosts. Excellent quality of furnishings, snacks and drinks to help us settle and a friendly face nearby to help with issues. 

We also appreciated the little touches - like F1 magazines on the counter as we were in town at the time of the F1 race. 

Couldn't ask for (website hidden). And amazing restaurants nearby. Authentic local or Mexican food on East Cesar Chavez and Launderette 5 mins down Holly are must-visits from here. "
2989690,49650426,2015-10-05,31315511,Afshar,"Rapha was a great host. He made the experience completely seamless. Check in/check out was a breeze and the property was very nice, clean, and comfortable. HUGE TV in the living room (with Chromecast hookup). Great neighborhood; within walking distance to ACL and a short cab ride to Austin's major hot spots. "
2989690,50335943,2015-10-11,44353589,Peter,Radha did  a wonderful job setting up our stay in advance. The apartment is set up like a true bachelor pad with all the amenities that you need to have a great time for a short or long stay in Austin. I especially enjoyed how clean he kept the apartment for guests. The location is great and its only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown.
2989690,52123258,2015-10-26,11024083,Rick,"Great place! We had a great time in Austin, and the location of Rapha's Apartment is great! It was very clean, and Rapha has it setup very nicely.

We will definitely be back!"
6448,509760,2011-09-06,1099569,Kristina,"Amy and family were wonderful hosts! The house was the perfect location for exploring Austin. My husband and I walked almost everywhere and especially enjoyed the proximity to Zilker Park. Everything was very clean and wonderful decorated, all the comforts of home. The apartment was much more than we expected and for a very fair price. I will keep Amy in mind the next time we travel to Austin!"
6448,519138,2011-09-10,1099375,Mark,"Great accommodations with a awesome location and thoughtful host.  Walking distance to Barton Springs, downtown, great restaurants , coffee, and other Austin landmarks.  "
6448,1002105,2012-03-15,170071,Sam,"A couple things you should know:

- Amy and Nick are probably some of the nicest people in Austin.
- The studio is big, private, clean, and other assorted good qualities.
- You should stay here."
6448,1012769,2012-03-18,434031,Elliott,amy and nick were great hosts.  the place was awesome and i would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting austin!
6448,1426435,2012-06-06,2217125,Rebekah,"This little garage apartment was the perfect situation for us. It had a great location and it was so nice to wake up to the sounds of kids and birds instead of 35. The place was very clean, the bed was comfy, we had plenty of towels, I would definitely stay at Amy's place again. We only saw her once because we were mostly gone, but she made herself very available in case we needed anything. And the air conditioning was excellent."
6448,1456461,2012-06-11,2260665,Bari,"Amy had a very nice space!  It was clean and cozy.  The bed and pillows were the most comfortable thing I ever slept in:)  Shower had amazing water pressure.  Amy and her family were also very nice.  They provided everything we needed and more.  The location is just outside of the downtown area but nothing a good walk, cheap bus ride, or quick cab ride couldn't take care of.  I highly recommend staying here.  "
6448,1509662,2012-06-18,2544335,Mollie,"Great location! Very comfortable place to stay! Walking distance to lots of restaurants, bike rentals and the trails. "
6448,1995185,2012-08-15,3040031,Will,My wife and I loved staying at the studio.  The Constants were very welcoming and hospitable throughout our entire stay.  The studio itself was extremely clean and cozy.  And it's just a quick bike ride from all sorts of Austin favorites.   I highly recommend it.
6448,2108694,2012-08-27,1609947,Vanessa,"Amy & Nick (plus Evelyn and James) were perfect hosts.  They were incredibly friendly and went out of their way for us.   
As for the space it is immaculate, quiet and serene, and very comfortable. 
We would highly recommend this space to anyone who would like to rent from genuinely nice people plus a stay that is comfortable, very clean, and nicely appointed."
6448,2205111,2012-09-05,2535437,Shelley,"I love this place. This was my second time staying here  --  the first was for about 9 weeks and this past stay was just 1 week. Both times I had great experiences. 

The apartment is an open, comfy and calming space with a big bathroom and comfy bed. 

Amy and Nick are always willing to help and are very friendly and responsive.

The neighborhood can't be beat. It's walking distance to nearly everything you might need, which came in handy for car-less me. 

I highly recommend staying here!"
6448,2277252,2012-09-14,3102873,Trevor,"Fantastic place!  Very clean and everything you need for your stay.  The location is perfect, near Zilker, near downtown, near to pretty much anything in the city.  Plus Amy is super friendly and can help with recommendations."
6448,2302325,2012-09-17,2989380,Debbie,"Would highly recommend staying here!  Accommodations are clean and have all the important amenities just like home.

6448,2442598,2012-09-29,2503884,Emily,"This was our first time using AirBnB, and we had a fantastic experience staying in Amy's studio. It is a charming space that had everything we needed. And it's within walking distance of restaurants and a couple small convenience stores. Amy was wonderful - so helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Austin!"
6448,2537295,2012-10-08,3211637,Sarah,"My husband and I loved our quiet little getaway that was Amy's studio. We came in town for a wedding, and this was such a wonderful change from hotels that look the same everywhere you go. 

The studio, which really feels more like a one-bedroom, was exceptionally clean and perfect space for two, with a very nice, modern bathroom and truly comfy bed and bedding. We slept better at Amy's than we had in awhile! The grounds' leafy trees are beautiful to wake up to as well. Coordination of our arrival and departure was seamless, and Amy was friendly and flexible the entire time. 

We especially enjoyed the on-site coffee, TV and comfy couch for watching UT football. Great alternative to the noisy bars when you're looking for a change of pace. Whenever we make it back to Austin, we won't think twice about staying at Amy's, or recommending it to our friends and family."
6448,2638885,2012-10-17,2194256,Paul,"Very nice accommodation, great location & super hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here while in Austin."

6448,2788418,2012-11-02,666646,Jennifer,"What a wonderful studio!  Amy is a wonderful and helpful person who made our stay completely comfortable and friendly.  The studio itself is gorgeous - clean, spacious, and quiet, surrounded by trees in a beautiful garden.  With a kitchen, table, *fast internet*, and living room, it felt like our own little complete home.  Oh, and the location rocks too - just a block away from breweries, restaurants, bars, and the bus if that's not enough!  We had a fantastic time in Austin, thanks in no small part to this awesome studio. "
6448,2831483,2012-11-07,3936411,Lauren,"We love this apartment! The location is great, we could walk to everything we needed: coffee, restaurants/bars, parks, etc. We really liked the juice bar down the road.  It's in a great neighborhood close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. The apartment is beautiful and had everything we needed.  We can't wait to stay here again! Thanks Amy!"
6448,2856912,2012-11-11,3883828,Hugo,"Amy's studio was the perfect size with the perfect amenities. We didn't really use the kitchen, but it was nice to have that option. It was our first time in Austin, and it was wonderful to be so near Zilker park and all the neat restaurants and bars in South Lamar, while still remaining a short jaunt from downtown. Austin being a very easily walkable city - it was nice to be away from the center, but near enough to get there with a 30 minute walk. Amy was really sweet and made sure to check up on us by email to see if we we're doing well, which was nice. An extremely relaxing time. "
6448,2925299,2012-11-20,2286887,Laurence,We had a great time in Austin.  Amy's apartment was perfect.  When we arrived we went to the grocery store and picked up some things so we could make a quick meal when needed.  Our schedule was pretty full so having the kitchen was a huge plus.  The apartment was clean and Amy was a great host.  She kept in touch with us via email and made sure our stay was as promised.  We will call on her next time we come to Austin!
6448,3058902,2012-12-11,3921674,Ysabel,"It was an absolute delight to be guest at Amy's lovely studio. I felt at home right away.

I am glad I chose this apartment and got the opportunity to meet and spend time with them. The apartment is as amazing as it looks in the pictures (if not better). Amy and Nick were very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely recommend this studio. It was a very cozy studio and I absolutely loved it. The location is also amazing and the neighborhood is very nice and quiet. While the hosts are their for anything you might need, they really respect your privacy too."
6448,6729609,2013-08-23,5468220,Amanda And Michael,"Perfect quiet clean space and perfect Austin location. So much better than a hotel! Walk to everything that the Zillker area offers. Just about as close as you can get to Barton springs Rd, Barton Springs Pool, and Zilker park. Amy and Nick have thought of everything that a guest might want and are wonderful hosts!"

The location was perfect. We walked to the lake and Barton Springs every day. We were minutes from downtown.
Our hosts were warm and welcoming.
We will return next time we're in Austin."

Thanks again to Amy and Nick,
-- Tom and Maggie, "
6448,7799676,2013-10-03,5081432,Brian,"My wife and I highly recommend Amy's studio apartment in Austin.  The large apartment is recently renovated with a kitchen, sitting area with library, wi-fi, comfortable bed and roomy bathroom. The off-street parking was very convenient. We had complete privacy in the 2nd story room over the garage - and had no noise issues of any kind.  The location of the apartment is perfectly located to go into downtown Austin or to hop on the MoPac and be anywhere you want to go.  For breakfast and dinner there are several places within walking distance that honor the Keep Austin Weird credo - such as Flipnotics right down the street. Amy was a gracious host - and we enjoyed meeting her.  We'd gladly stay here again - except we're planning on moving to Austin!"
6448,7936598,2013-10-08,8441227,Ryan,"An amazing studio, beautiful and tastefully styled throughout with everything you'd ever need all within a safe and secure neighbourhood.

Amy and Nick were incredibly accommodating and helpful and so friendly. . .they even put together a beautiful flower arrangement as a congratulations! We loved the space and had no complaints. The location was perfect and the ammenities were top notch! Our little dog loved their beautiful yard and their cozy little space! We will definitely be back!
"
6448,8370039,2013-10-28,8694828,Meghan,"Amy and Nick were great. I stayed at the apartment for 4 nights because I was in town for a wedding and it was the PERFECT get away from all of the commotion of the wedding activities. They were understanding of the influx of people that came over and were very gracious hosts. The apartment itself was wonderfully decorated and very spacious. If I ever need a place to stay in Austin again, I will stay here. It's close to everything and at the same time a quiet, safe getaway. Highly recommended!"
6448,8520429,2013-11-04,5616964,Sarah,The apartment was nice and clean - we had a great time and it was the perfect location to discover Austin by foot/bus. We didn't have much interaction with Amy & Nick but they came out to say 'bye' when we left.
6448,8651460,2013-11-11,5317344,Kimberly,The apartment was perfect! Super clean and had everything we needed. Location was great- we just took a very short cab ride to downtown. We will definitely stay here again!!!:)
6448,8793510,2013-11-18,1356789,Adrien,"We had a wonderful time during the week we stayed here. The apartment is beautiful and very cozy. The perfect amount of kitchen supplies were provided. Amy and her family live right across the backyard, so we could just knock on their door if we needed anything, but we never did, and we had our complete privacy. We will definitely try and stay here the next time we visit!"
6448,9536313,2014-01-02,2503917,Nuzhat,Perfect location and perfect studio. The layout and decor was great with every comfort in mind. A very thoughtfully designed space. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Would love to go back and stay there again!
6448,9949607,2014-01-21,4275619,Barbara,"We loved staying in the Zilker studio! Amy and Rick were excellent hosts...always available in the month that we stayed, very helpful. They actually made several upgrades when we were there that made the studio even more comfortable. Their back yard was beautiful, very green. We loved seeing the treetops from our studio windows. 

The studio is an easy walk to the Hike and Bike Trails at Lady Bird Lake (also called Town Lake); there is a leash-free area for dogs on the trail. We were able to hear a number of excellent musicians while visiting and ate at several really good restaurants. 

The studio is very clean, the colours relaxing, and the furniture comfortable. We highly recommend Amy, the studio, and the Zilker area. In fact, we can't wait to visit there again!

6448,10917006,2014-03-13,8305924,Aina,Amy´s flat lies in a beautiful and silent area of Zilker. The flat has all you need for a nice and practical stay.  The studioflat was clean and neat. The host Amy was helpful and provided assistance when needed.  We can really recommend this flat! It is a perfect example of what Airbnb should be! A little tip: rent bikes for quick trips around in the area and to the city centre. 
6448,11632514,2014-04-10,5489735,Daphne,"I stayed with Amy and her family for a month. This is a beautiful super clean
 garage apartment. The location is excellent and within 
 a 10-15 minute to everything Austin. The flagship Whole Foods is just
a short walk. Amy is a perfect host. The apartment is exactly how it is 
represented in the photos only much nicer. It is a super great value.
Thanks Amy!!


"
6448,11791143,2014-04-15,599573,Marie,"Amy's apartment is super comfortable and equipped with everything you need (Amy even brought us a tea kettle!) It is very light and spacious and Amy was very quick to respond to any queries we had. We ran into Amy and her family during our stay and they were very welcoming.
The apartment itself is in a great location, with some good restaurants and bars close by, and you can walk into Downtown or take a short cab ride.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
6448,12392066,2014-05-01,9265585,Marc,"Amy and Nick were very friendly and were very helpful even offering us a lift to the wedding we were attending as our taxi was late.  The apartment was fantastic.  Beautifully decorated and clean.  The bed was extremely comfortable.  The location is in an idyllic neighborhood with easy access to the city centre.  If you are looking for something a little bit special then do not hesitate to book with Amy and Nick.  We spent 5 wonderful days in Austin and coming back to the apartment felt like coming home.  A big, big thank you!  We loved our stay!"
6448,12479057,2014-05-03,6898813,Sarah,"Amy's apartment was lovely--in a nice quiet neighborhood, yet a stone's throw/nice walk from everything downtown has to offer. It is evident that Amy takes very good care of the apartment, is incredibly conscientious about cleaning the space for every guest, and takes her responsibilities as a host quite seriously. As a result, it was a very nice place to stay. 

In addition, my itinerary had me arriving late at night and this was no problem for Amy. Such ease!"
6448,12694552,2014-05-08,12301517,Robert,"Lovely apartment. Convenient to the city in a quiet and pleasant neighbourhood.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
6448,12925866,2014-05-14,14018670,Kay,"We really enjoyed staying at the secluded studio in 78704.  It was cute, clean, and comfortable.The view from the windows made us feel like we had our own treehouse. We had considered a downtown hotel but this was in a beautiful neighborhood near our daughter's home. The restaurants in the neighborhood were excellent and just a few blocks from our location.  We loved our Austin vacation."
6448,17488362,2014-08-12,19641290,Laura,"This was our first experience with airbnb and it was fantastic! Amy has a cute little apartment behind her beautiful home and it is in the best location! We brought our 2 dogs with us so we loved being so close to Zilker park! Her apartment is s cute and cozy and was much more comfortable that being in a hotel. Everything we needed was there, including things to cook! We would definitely stay there again next time we are in Austin."

6448,21191354,2014-10-13,2592921,Melissa,Amy and Nick were warm and welcoming hosts. Amy made me fantastic cookies for my birthday ! and they lent us chairs for Austin City Limits. The studio is very peaceful and a short walk to most anything you could want. The bed was super comfy and it was nice to have a little fridge for yogurt and fruit. I always seem to leave Austin too soon. Hope to be back soon.
6448,22011462,2014-10-28,21197206,Robin,"Our first stay with Airbnb could not have been better. Property was as described and Amy and Nick were very accommodating. The location was perfect for us, providing the peace and quiet we needed after a day of city life. Walk to restaurants and bus stop as well as to Zilker Park and Barton Springs.  I would recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a quiet place with good access. It was just like home with way less work. A bonus for us was the attention paid to environmental issues with recycling and composting made available. Thanks for a great vacation. 
"
6448,22239305,2014-11-02,6387532,Sarah,"Amy was a great host and we really enjoyed staying with her. Amy did a great job of contacting us beforehand to make sure we didn't have any questions and to pick a time to meet and get keys from her. The space was quiet, clean and spacious. She was so kind and brought us snacks and water for our stay. The neighborhood was easy to navigate through and was close to downtown. Thanks, Amy!"
6448,22517859,2014-11-09,12728125,Michelle,"We had a wonderful time staying at Amy's place in Austin! The place was exactly as described. It was clean, cozy, well-kept, and had everything we needed. Amy was easy to communicate with, and very welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay in this neighborhood. It is beautiful and quiet, yet walking distance to some great restaurants, and a quick drive to many nearby attractions. We would definitely stay here again if we return to Austin!"
6448,22737126,2014-11-13,3349181,Swati,"We had a great stay in Austin at Amy's studio. We stayed for 4 nights and got to see a lot of Austin. The studio was very clean, comfortable, and nicely arranged. It's in a pretty residential neighborhood near Zilker Park and Barton Springs restaurants. Amy provided us with some tips on what to do in Austin and where to eat in the neighborhood. We originally didn't rent a car, but realized it would be necessary if we wanted to easily see other parts of Austin (and didn't want to take a lot of cabs!)"
6448,22888866,2014-11-17,3102873,Trevor,"What a great little rental! Very well appointed and super clean.  Amy is very welcoming. Location just couldn't be better. Minutes to downtown or to trendy SoLa and SoCo.  Quiet, very comfortable bed, exceptional bathroom.  Parking off street was a nice surprise.  So easy to get in and out. Perfect for the weekend getaway I was needing."
6448,23152850,2014-11-24,20496546,Joyce,"This was our first airbnb experience; the apt. was a gem in a lovely Zilker neighborhood.  Amy was a friendly and helpful host.  The apt. is very clean, beautifully decorated, yet comfortable, cozy and private.   The high ceilings make it appear larger than I expected. We took several long walks thru the quiet neighborhood.  My husband and I were very pleased with our stay and would stay here again. "
6448,23336123,2014-11-29,22824674,Olivia,Amy was amazing! The space is perfect and in a great location.  We were able to walk everywhere.  Amy even left a pac-n-play and toys for my daughter. We will be staying here again! 
6448,23490653,2014-12-02,21062014,Nick,"Amy was a great host!  The flexibility with check in and check out were greatly appreciated.   My wife and I were not disappointed. We were provided extra towels, nice shampoo and conditioner and coffee in the kitchen.  Everything described for this studio was accurate.  We loved the quiet setting in this very pretty south Austin neighborhood.  Amy was very responsive to finding and recommending some dining establishments for us.  We could not go wrong with the whole city block, Whole Foods  and 24 Diner, located about a mile away.  We also enjoyed being so close to the Lady Bird Trail."
6448,23685318,2014-12-08,14274554,Rachel,This wonderful studio was just as described. My stay was incredibly comfortable and I really felt at home here. Thanks Amy!
6448,25122726,2015-01-07,5393540,Laura,"I absolutely loved my stay at Amy's studio apartment.    Amy and Nick made me feel welcome, and I felt right at home immediately.  The studio apartment has lots of light and is located in a lovely neighborhood near downtown, many restaurants within walking distance, and the trail by the river.  It felt more like a 1-bedroom instead of a studio because of the separation from  the main living/kitchen area.  I loved the high ceilings and lovely décor.  Oh, and of course, it was super clean.   I drove from MN with my 2 small dogs and stayed for 4 weeks.  I took my dogs for a long walk everyday and it was an awesome break from the MN cold.  The deck overlooks their lovely yard with huge oak trees that keep their leaves all year round.  The apartment had absolutely everything I needed and more.  There was plenty of storage and even laundry facilities.  I have absolutely no complaints.  Amy and Nick brought me Christmas cookies and a treat to take with me for my long drive home.  They were available for any questions I had, and were kind enough to print  tickets for me at the last minute before heading to the Trail of Lights festivities in nearby Zilker park.  I really hope I can stay there again.  Thank you Amy and Nick!"
6448,26854435,2015-02-21,10388480,Laura,"We spent 6 weeks in Amy & Nick's studio apartment and absolutely loved it. The location is perfect with its proximity to Zilker park and a lot of cute restaurants and bars on Barton Springs. We also felt very safe walking our dog in their neighborhood. The apartment was very clean and just as pictured. We had ample storage and cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, etc were supplied. There is also on-site laundry and a parking spot, which is a huge bonus for extended stays. "
6448,27073812,2015-02-24,27743193,Kelsey,"Amy was super friendly and helpful. She gave us a few recommendations for great restaurants, and welcomed any and all questions we had. The apartment was extremely nice and clean, and was even better than the photos. The neighborhood was in a great location. It was cold when we stayed, so we used Uber instead of walking, but it only cost us a few dollars each time. It is definitely in walking distance of many places though. 

All in all, Amy was great and the apartment was awesome. I would definitely recommend it, and will try to stay here again if I need a place in Austin! "
6448,27162154,2015-02-27,25719118,Amanda,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Amy is a friendly and thoughtful host. The apartment is lovely (including a very comfy bed!) and is conveniently located to a few major bus routes if you need them. Their street is incredibly quiet, so even though I was here for work related reasons, I did feel like I could relax a bit too. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for something cozy and set back while still fairly close to the downtown area."
6448,27324017,2015-03-02,25756031,Emily,Very welcoming -- the apartment was so cute and Amy was so welcoming!
6448,27577015,2015-03-08,1551621,Michael,"We enjoyed our stay at Amy's property. The property was as described - clean, cozy, comfortable and in convenient for us location - close to Zilker park and Botanical Garden, Long Performance Center, Townlake park and downtown. Amy was very nice and hospitable. We would recommend to our friends to stay at Amy's without any reservations. "
6448,27794038,2015-03-12,11815790,Gaelen,"Amy was beyond accommodating.  She greeted us with a fresh plate of strawberries.  The apartment was clean, very well furnished--nicer than my NYC apartment.  Their backyard was amazing for our family to hang out and play in.  It's also super close downtown and food and shopping areas."
6448,28660916,2015-03-28,28442441,Michael,"This was my very first Airbnb stay. I usually stay at hotels on business trips. What a refreshing surprise to get away from the hustle of the convention hotel. Amy's place was perfect, and she made me feel right at home.  The one bedroom apartment with all the amenities of being at home.  Very quite neighborhood located just a couple of miles from restaurants, shops and grocery stores.  The day I left Amy made sure my stay was everything that I expected.  I assured it was and that I was coming back with my wife next time. "
6448,28864593,2015-03-31,25454197,Donald,Amy is a fantastic host and we got some great ideas from her on where to eat!
6448,30970677,2015-04-30,22483699,Missi,"Amy was a lovely and gracious host. I made this booking for a visiting scholar, so I was not the person staying in the apartment, but I did go to see it and I got to meet Amy. The apartment was gorgeous, and just as advertised. Amy was delightful and in constant contact with me to make this as easy as possible given that I was arranging lodging for someone else. 

The scholar loved the apartment, and continuously raved about how nice the accommodations were. I'm so grateful to Amy for helping me give our guest the royal Austin treatment. He and his wife were impressed from the very start because of his experience with this apartment!"
6448,31317457,2015-05-04,2544636,Mark,"Amy's place was perfect. Welcoming, cozy, quiet, clean, well appointed and in a terrific Barton Springs location. And Amy was a pleasure to interact with leading up to and during our stay. Walk ten minutes and you'll have access to numerous, great restaurants, a brewery and a collection of delicious food trucks. Zilker Park is just around the corner and we rented bicycles from a nearby shop and spent the day exploring. Highly recommended. "
6448,31868174,2015-05-11,24623715,Julie,"My husband and I had an amazing time in Austin while staying at Amy's garage apartment. It was in the perfect location for our trip. We easily walked to multiple restaurants/bars/shops/movie theaters in 10 minutes or less. One night we even walked downtown in under 30 minutes on the Zilker Park walking trails. We rented bikes and were able to bike to South Congress and Downtown in about 10 minutes. We stayed 3 nights and 4 days and didn't have to drive our car at all! The neighborhood was super cute and nice. Very quiet and safe for walking. Amy was so nice and welcoming and greeted us the first night we got there. She answered any questions about the area and activities we had and was always very quick to respond to any messages I sent. The garage apartment was in Amy's backyard behind the house, so it was very quiet and private. Overall this was the perfect place for us to stay, and we even saved money staying here and not at a hotel near the same location. We are already planning on future trips to Austin and would gladly book with Amy again!"
6448,32320141,2015-05-17,9245251,Joseph,"My wife and I had a wonderful stay in Amy's studio while we were in Austin. 
The communication with Amy from the time we asked about the studio's availability and up to our arrival was very prompt. Her responsiveness to our subsequent questions was most immediate and informative. 
Amy's studio is very tastefully decorated with comfortable furniture and warm colors which made us feel very much at home. 
The neighborhood was quiet and serene, as was Amy's studio location on their property. Having a parking space off the street was a nice plus. 
The locale was convenient to coffee houses and restaurants within walking distance and downtown Austin was minutes away by car or bus (we had a car). When we were on Barton Springs Rd, the buses seemed to go by frequently.
We would stay at Amy's studio in a heartbeat if it's available the next time we come back to Austin.
We highly recommend Amy's secluded studio.
 "
6448,32711559,2015-05-20,32462906,Haomin,"We were first time visitors to Austin and really enjoyed our stay at the studio! Booking and communication with Amy was great, as she was very quick to respond and informative.

The studio itself was clean and well furnished. Although we weren't there much, it was extremely comfortable and we were provided with everything we needed.

In terms of location, we had a car with us, butthe studio was extremely convenient to many of the local venues and attractions. Downtown Austin was minutes away, as were the Barton springs, and shops around Lamar and Congress.
"
6448,32953949,2015-05-24,23710026,Barry,"This was a new experience for us and to some extent was a gamble as we were relying on the very positive comments from previous guests. We were not disappointed and our gamble was rewarded. The descriptions provided by Amy and the positive comments from the previous guests were consistent with the experience we had. However what raised the bar for us was the generous gestures by Amy to provide for us the morning after we had arrived, English muffins, fruit and delicious jam and likewise on the morning of departure, delicious muffins . Also on the night we arrived, as it was raining Amy's husband Nick provided us with umbrellas so as we could get something to eat in nearby restaurants that were in walking distance. It was these little gestures that counted so much for us."
6448,33440342,2015-05-28,30547897,Ronald,Amy is friendly and accommodating and was able to greet us personally. The studio apartment was cozy and met all of our needs. The bed was especially comfortable! The location was absolutely perfect for seeing all of Austin. We highly recommend but book early!
6448,33788612,2015-06-01,30063530,Sylvia,My family and I had a very pleasant 4-night stay at the apartment.  The setting is peaceful; the apartment is impressive with many amenities.  I had a few questions prior to our arrival in Austin and Amy was quite responsive.  I plan to stay in the apt. on my next visit to Austin.     
6448,40426308,2015-07-31,18940947,Molly,"We have just LOVED staying in this adorable little in-law apartment. It's above the garage and has a great backyard that our puppy has really enjoyed playing in. Not completely fenced, but he has learned not to leave the yard. There is an extra refrigerator and a washer/dryer available to us in the garage downstairs, which is really convenient. The apartment itself is immaculate and has all the accessories you could possibly need for cooking. Space to store clothes is fine if the trip is short term, but since two of us are here for three months, we were a little short on storage space. Our hosts have been fantastic; they are available to address any issues (we had a clogged toilet once and they were on top of it). They generously gave us a parking space in the driveway. The apartment gets great natural light and the bed is comfortable. The best part is probably the location. It's situated in the most desirable neighborhood in Austin. Residential and woodsy, dog friendly---but in close walking distance to Barton Springs, Barton Creek, Zilker Park, South Lamar Boulevard and all its restaurants, etc. Our gym, LA Fitness, is close by. You're situated just a mile or two away from both Mopac and I-35. It's been truly lovely to stay here. Great hosts, great place, great neighborhood--even their kids are cute. Hosts value quiet and go to bed early (like us), so this place is not for raucous guests or for folks that like to party late into the night."
6448,52306438,2015-10-28,23461875,Gerrard,"This is such a great place & Amy is really easy to communicate with, she made sure she was on hand to greet us when we arrived & really made us feel welcome.  The apartment is so well equipped, really private and very comfortable, I don't think that there is anything you could do to improve it! The neighbourhood is so nice with walking and running trails on your doorstop. There are lots of local bars & eateries and you can walk downtown in about 30 mins or take an uber for about $6. We really can't recommend this place highly enough."
6448,53180130,2015-11-06,30286662,Stephen,"I can see why this property is so popular. It is a very private setting and a very cozy room: a great place to escape to. Decor is well done, and everything is good quality. You could stay in for days and enjoy the solitude, or walk 2 blocks to Barton Springs for a selection of fine restaurants.

Amy met me at the house and gave me a quick orientation. Since I get to Austin multiple times per year, I did not need any local guidance.

Overall a very pleasant stay, and I hope to come back soon."
345543,3779563,2013-03-14,2488666,Christie,Hugh was a great host! His place is clean and cozy. He responded to me promptly when I called and made sure we were happy. I will stay here again the next time I go to Austin!

He definitely made us feel at home in his place and communicated well before and during our during our stay. The condo is spacious, bright and clean. We slept 4 people very comfortably. Location was perfect - we were walking distance or a short cab ride from all of the SXSW festivities, with lots of food trucks/bars/restaurants along the way. I recommend the place, and wouldn't hesitate to stay here on future visits."
345543,10939704,2014-03-14,11815301,Anders,"Hugh (the landlord) is the greatest!! Welcoming us with cold beer and offering airport pickup. Hugh had arranged for brand new airmadresses and netflix on the telly. But the best thing is the area. Walk into downtown through the vibrant EAST-side is SO cool. Shoppingcenter near by (5 min walk). Will very much like to come back!
"
345543,20963850,2014-10-08,809086,Susannah,"Our stay in Austin was just delightful. Hugh met us at the apartment to hand off the keys and show us around the place, and then he left us to our own devices to explore the neighborhood. Hugh's apartment is in a beautiful complex, and East Austin is an awesome neighborhood to walk around, with plenty of bars and a really delicious coffeeshop (Cuvée Coffee) within a short distance. Hugh also showed us where the Austin B-cycles (Austin's city bike share) were parked, right outside his building, which made getting around the city even more of a breeze. The apartment itself is very cool, with this whole industrial loft space vibe going on... And lots of neat art on the walls. We had a great time!"
345543,21219364,2014-10-13,20862091,Bridgette,"Really enjoyed our stay at Hugh's. He was very accommodating and worked with our crazy travel schedule. Convenient location, comfortable, and cozy.  "

Great little apartment made available at short notice.

Very cool suburb and an awesome little welcome note with great information provided. If I stay in Austin again that will be where I stay. 

Great host!!! "
8568177,50383838,2015-10-11,6449794,Sarah,"This adorable little garage apartment is in a great location right off of South Congress.  The apartment is bright and colorful, has a lot of windows and gets tons of natural light.  I spent a lot of time on the deck, which is basically another living area.  The neighborhood is very walkable.  Meaghan was a great host and was easy to get in touch with.  I would definitely rent this place again when I am in Austin.  "
8568177,51220285,2015-10-18,46188837,Chris,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and we could not be happier. Meaghan was great - anytime we had questions she responded almost immediately.  She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. 

The apartment was fabulous and it is in a perfect location for a good time in SoCo.  We would absolutely stay again in the future and very highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun get away in ATX.

3612755,20925009,2014-10-07,21544282,Kristin,"We couldn't have had a better first experience with Airbnb! The house was exactly as described/as pictured, as well as immaculate. The owners left us thorough instructions for anything we might need in their home and we were left with no questions. We feel lucky to have enjoyed a weekend away in such a beautiful home! The entire experience couldn't have been easier. 10/10!!!"

Great neighborhood, super kitchen, awesome bathrooms and comfortable beds. They took good care of us and recommended lots of local restaurants and bars.

Thank you for having us!"
5111399,32366735,2015-05-17,3383329,Marina,"Lisa's home is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos! Plus her cats are super friendly. 
Lisa is the perfect host, with helpful lists of places to go for food, drinks and sundries. She may even come with you or share a bottle of wine if you like! She also loves Austin and is therefore able to suggest places of interest to visit. 
She's super prompt to respond to questions and does her utmost to make the stay easy and comfortable. 
Finally, this home is in a perfect location, really close to downtown, bars and restaurants. It's also beautifully furnished with plenty of space, and I even had my own bathroom as no one else was staying. I can't recommend it highly enough!"
5111399,32709870,2015-05-20,7057511,Adam,"Lisa's house was incredible in every way, spacious, beautifully designed and provided the perfect solitude after a bustling couple of days in Austin.  I'm looking forward to staying here for future trips, couldn't recommend it any higher.  "
5111399,39245815,2015-07-21,1340361,Philip,Lisa was very welcoming and accommodating to my last-minute request. The house and my room were both perfect and I even got to squeeze in some much-needed laundry!
5535028,28338393,2015-03-22,8225194,Michelle,"Great spot!! The house was clean and warmly decorated. The bed was beyond cozy! I will definitely be recommending it to all my friends that visit Austin.

7902053,50701088,2015-10-13,9057311,Jose,We felt like at home... Deck was great.. Pool table was a welcomed extra!  A lot of towels!  Everything was clean.  Great place!! Great Hosts!
7902053,52274808,2015-10-27,28982881,Luis,"This place is impeccable, very clean and perfectly located on a quiet and safe neighborhood, I strongly recommend this place to stay in Austin for any event. (F1, Moto GP, ACL, etc)"
354513,3771104,2013-03-13,3919870,Stefan,"We had an amazing stay at Sara's East Austin home.  The house is beautifully renovated and was a perfect space for the 3 of us who stayed.  We booked the home for the weekend of SXSW interactive and it ended up being a more ideal space than most hotels.  Our hosts provided snacks, fresh eggs, coffee, beer, and access to their garden.  Working on my laptop in the screened-in porch while enjoying coffee in the morning was quite relaxing.  The location was ideal, just a short 10 minute walk from downtown and quiet at night.  It was also easy to get to via taxi or pedicab from downtown when we didn't feel like walking late at night.  The bedrooms were nicely separated, gave lot of privacy, and the common areas were spacious and comfortable to be in.  The hosts provided a blow-up mattress and bed in a separate room with pocket doors which allowed everyone to have their own private space.  The check-in/check-out process was a breeze.  Overall a 5 star experience, we'll definitely be back!"
354513,11022794,2014-03-17,4706587,Sadaf,Sara's house was beautiful and she was great! She even got snacks prior to us arriving. I went for work to be close to downtown Austin and everything was in walking distance! I'd definitely stay there again. 
354513,28158571,2015-03-19,2928464,Scott,"Sara left coffee, snacks, drinks and local brews for us, making us feel very at home and welcomed. The home was beautiful and just amazing. We could not have been happier with the house or the location."
1153338,4798019,2013-05-26,3802298,Christina,"My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay last minute in Austin - Jackie was fast to respond and flexible to our needs.  She even called to make sure we were safe, as it was storming badly on the drive down and asked if she could pick us up any food upon our late arrival. The garage apartment was clean and beautifully decorated.  You can really tell a lot of thought, time and effort went into creating this unique space.  I would highly recommend this rental to anyone!  Thank you Jackie!!!"
1153338,4824916,2013-05-27,3586724,Joey,"Jackie's apartment was clean, cozy, and cool even in the summer heat. We spent most of our time out at a wedding, but it made for a great, close home base. Jackie herself was nothing but friendly and helpful. "
1153338,4914052,2013-06-01,4328851,Tee,"I would to convey my stay here was outstanding!!!!!! In a laundry list of appreciation are as follows: 
 1. Very accommodating -from the offering condiments of food, chips, water and personal hygiene products made it very easy and accessible.  The kitchen comes fully stocked with dishes and  utensils everything you need to cook a great meal.
I especially appreciate the offer in washing my laundry and a cooler to trek to Barton Springs. This made me feel appreciated and comfortable. Also I might add the complete liberty of privacy....Awesome!
 2. The garage apartment was clean and beautifully decorated. You can really tell a lot of thought, time and effort went into creating this unique space with art deco very warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone! Thank you Jackie!"
1153338,5154450,2013-06-15,6397519,Hilary,"My stay at Jackie's was really wonderful. The apartment itself is big and roomy with possibly the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. There's wifi, AC (really important), a full kitchen set-up with various foods, dishes and utensils. She even keeps a little stash of items in the bathroom in case you forgot something (razors, nail polish, extra shampoo/ conditioner, etc.) Jackie herself was just lovely. She called to check in and gave us tons of informative suggestions for activities to do and bands to see in town. She even offered to come pick us up if we got stranded in the evening, claiming it was the ""mother in her"" wanting to make sure we got home safely. She even left us a big umbrella in anticipation of rain. She has a really sweet dog & two cats that hang out in the yard during the day. They stick to themselves, in case you aren't an animal person. But I love cats and dogs, so I was delighted to see them. All in all, it was a really delightful experience and I can't wait to come back to Austin to stay again. Thank you, Jackie!!!"
1153338,5305212,2013-06-23,6997447,Will,"Really perfect stay. The place was clean, the host Jackie was extremely friendly and helpful when we needed it, but gave us plenty of space and privacy. We only stayed for one night and so didn't get to fully utilize the full kitchen space, but the bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was clean with plenty of hot water. Jackie obviously paid close attention to detail, and several times we found nice touches: extra soap, shampoo, plenty of thick towels, flashlights, speakers, kitchen supplies, and so on. She offered to make a grocery run if we needed before our arrival and was just all around the perfect host. Highly recommended."
1153338,5366345,2013-06-26,6513275,Becki,"Jackie was a great hostess! Her garage apartment was perfect for my sister and me. Just a few minutes to the cool shops and restaurants on South Congress and convenient to the rest of Austin.  The apartment was very clean, the bed was comfy, and she had plenty of homey amenities. Her 3 cats and 1 dog were sweet and friendly. Jackie suggested things to do and places to go but was very respectful of our space. I'd definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it to anybody else."
1153338,5387758,2013-06-27,906007,Andrew,"Very convenient location with easy access to South Austin and downtown.  10 minutes to downtown even in rush hour.  The guest suite was clean and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need.  Communication was easy!  Highly recommended!"
1153338,5614252,2013-07-08,5984010,Jenna,Jackie's accomodations were beautiful and conveniently located.  The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious.  We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!
1153338,5740353,2013-07-14,7068891,Alec & Miranda,"Having never been to Austin but considering the city as a possible new home, we were hoping to find a central location to stay with a host who would be friendly enough to help us explore.  Jackie was great! She was very respectful and kept her space but was super helpful in advising us to check out both local spots and neighboring areas. The house was exactly as described, super cute and welcoming, and very easy to find.  If you love animals, this is the place for you. With a super friendly dog and three adorable cats, there's no shortage of friends nearby who will rub against you or say hello while you eat breakfast in the yard.  We would most definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Austin."
1153338,5923582,2013-07-22,4994433,James,"This place was wonderful.  We had such a great time.  Jackie was kind, accommodating, and hospitable.  The space was beautiful, clean, and roomy.  It was also easy to access everything we wanted in the city.  We look forward to returning to Austin and staying here! "
1153338,6079719,2013-07-29,7076430,Leigh-Ann,"If you're looking for 5 star service in a cosy guesthouse in a great location then this is exactly where you should be staying! 
We cannot say enough about how amazing Jackie is. She was welcoming right from the start (picking us up from the bus station and giving us a tour of Austin) and always available with local advice or little treats (dinner when she cooked too much or a hat on a particularly hot day) without being intrusive. 
The guest house itself is gorgeous, the bed is both huge and super comfy, the kitchen well stocked and the shower lovely. It really is the perfect size for 2 people and very private. 
It is in a very good location, very quiet but just around the corner from the bus station. We didn't have a car but found the buses run regularly and are super cheap for a day pass. There are 2 that take you downtown whilst passing loads of places to eat/drink on the way and one that drops you right at Barton Springs (would definitely reccomend it!). There are also a couple of places within walking distance.
We had a fantastic stay in Austin and a big part of that was down to Jackie who really was just wonderful. Our biggest dissapointment with the stay was that we didn't get a chance to go for a drink with her but maybe one day we will be back!"
1153338,6187050,2013-08-02,409021,Kestrel,"The place was fantastic! It was comfy and lovely, stocked with everything I could possibly have needed.  Jackie blew me away with how attentive and sweet she was, even though I didn't ever actually see her in person.  I am so happy to have chosen this wonderful space.  Thanks, Jackie!"
1153338,6575028,2013-08-17,6124533,Nicole,"Jackie's place in Austin is fabulous! The bed is huge and very comfy. The little garage cottage has everything you need - great kitchen, bathroom, wifi, air con etc. Jackie is a wonderful host - she provided us with snacks as we arrived quite late, the kitchen was so well stocked, and she gave us lots and lots of tips on things to do, places to go, and - most importantly - great tips of live music to see in Austin!! Her dog Jayda is very friendly, and the cats love to sit by you for a pat while you relax with a coffee at the table and chairs outside the cottage.

Thanks for much for a wonderful stay. We couldn't have asked for anything more - we recommend this place very highly! 5 stars."
1153338,6714619,2013-08-22,5411335,Violet And Edie,"Jackie's place was perfect! The private studio room had everything you could need and Jackie has gone that extra mile to make the place comfortable, homely and stocked with plenty of convenient items - from flashlights to tasty treats! These things were a lovely touch. Jackie is an incredibly warm, helpful, generous and easygoing host. She went out of her way to make our stay in Austin a wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend a stay with Jackie and would love to return one day!"
1153338,6763246,2013-08-24,7860178,Lori,"Jackie is a terrific hostess!  Right from the beginning everything went very smoothly.  The registration was easy, and Jackie kept us very well-informed, sending us detailed directions to the place and giving us great suggestions for things to do while we were in town.  The space was great, and just like the pretty pictures in the listing.  Jackie provided all the things that you could think to need for your stay…snacks, dishes, towels, toiletries, Scrabble, travel cooler, Wi-Fi, and many more amenities.  The bed was comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was great, and the air conditioner and fan kept the room nice and comfortable even in the hot 100 degree weather we experienced.  We also really enjoyed having the little patio to hang out and eat our breakfast or afternoon snack, and liked having the friendly cats and dog to keep us company on the patio.  Overall we had a great stay and I would definitely recommend the place."
1153338,7009189,2013-09-03,7027201,Andrea,We loved our stay in Jackie’s lovely backyard casita!  The location is perfect.  Less than 2 blocks away from a transit center and only a couple of miles away from all of the action happening downtown!  Jackie is incredibly accommodating! The house came stocked with goodies and she was always quick to respond to any questions with thoughtful and detailed suggestions.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would without question stay here again
1153338,7224854,2013-09-11,8206779,Allan,Staying at Jackie's really helped make my trip to Austin! Booking was easy and Jackie kept in touch from the beginning to make sure everything went smoothly. Everything is exactly as pictured and is a really comfortable place to stay. Jackie was a great host through out the stay making sure everything was up to par and recommending some local hang outs for music and fun. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend! 
1153338,7345649,2013-09-16,7579620,Mike,Jackie was a wonderful host. She thought of everything. What a fun place to stay. Close to everything in Austin. Thank you Jackie!
1153338,7528314,2013-09-23,8706893,Patrick,"If there was a way to give extra bonus stars, Jackie would earn them all! She left out extra stuff that I didn't think to bring but needed all weekend. She had extra umbrellas, hats, coolers, etc ready to go. My flight got in super late and she was kind enough to leave me some little snacks to hold me over until breakfast. 

Her directions from the airport were direct and simple to follow. I was in town for a race at the new Circuit of the Americas racetrack and it was super easy to get back and forth.

Jackie is super friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. She was also very laid back and in no way felt like she was hovering around. She is the perfect host!

The room was great and exactly as described. Super comfy GIANT bed, tons of towels, coffee, and a fully stocked mini-kitchen (email hidden). 

I had a great trip and she was a big part of it. Next time I make it back near Austin, I hope her place will be available so I can stay again!"
1153338,7764336,2013-10-01,3872658,Stephanie,The most wonderful place to stay in Austin!!  Literally a couple hundred feet from 512 brewery and Jackie is the best host.  Will book again!!
1153338,8098927,2013-10-15,3208292,Allison,"Jackie went out of her way to be helpful during our stay in Austin. She left chips for us when we arrived late, and regularly checked in. She's very responsive. The space was comfortable for two people and watertight in a very serious rainstorm. We'd definitely stay here again!"
1153338,8162097,2013-10-18,9382921,Jody,"This was a great place to stay in Austin.  The bed was wonderful and it was on a quiet street but very close to the interstate and only one exit from Lamar which leads right into downtown.  Very cozy and comfortable.  Jackie was friendly but totally left us to ourselves.  Wonderful pets and I am not an animal person.  The dog, I hardly saw at all and the beautiful cat only came around if we sat outside in the evening and I called her to come to me, she did love my petting!"
1153338,8382227,2013-10-28,816254,Shari,"I want to begin by saying that Jackie is a perfect host!  She was quick to call me and chat about the apartment and what we needed to know about the area.  The place was very private and very comfortable.  Everything you could possibly need was provided and the location was great!  It has a very comfy king size bed, which is important to me.  It also had a funky Austin feel and the decor was perfect for a fun weekend. Jackie's dog Jayda would greet us as we walked through the gate and was very sweet. Jackie also was very easy going about check in and check out and told us several times that we could come as early and stay as late as we wanted.  So, we never felt rushed.   I would definitely stay here again."
1153338,8527933,2013-11-04,9069507,Leslie,"Jackie's place is great!  She has a thrifty eye and has done a wonderful job decorating the place!  The bed is very comfortable and we enjoyed the soft bath towels.  

Jada (her dog) and the three cats are super friendly and enjoy the company and extra loving.  

The location is very close to downtown and the funky side of Austin.  We will be back and will also spread the word about Jackie's place to our friends."
1153338,8712921,2013-11-13,2945083,Pam,"My husband and I stayed at Jackies' and had a great time!  She was very attentive and thought of everything to make our stay pleasant!
I chose her place since it was close to our daughter's work and we could borrow her car during the day.  It is super close to everything and you can walk to South Congress for the many restaurants or stores to enjoy.  The transit station is a couple of blocks away.  The king size bed is super comfy too!
Her dog, Jayda and cats are sweet to have around. Thanks Jackie for everything!

1153338,8854367,2013-11-22,4982572,Aviva,"I'm not sure I can explain in 500 words what a great little place Jackie has here and what an amazing host she is. From the moment we contacted her, she gave us all kinds of information and recommendations to make sure our stay in Austin was a great time. Her place is very well located, convenient to public transit and just a short drive from the coolest neighbourhoods in the city. She had fresh chips and salsa, and even a pineapple ready to welcome us (you know that's right!), four different varieties of coffee, teas, hot chocolate and a fridge and cupboards filled with food for our use. She thought of absolutely everything; if you happened to forget any toiletries (or only had a carry-on and couldn't take razors on the plane, like me) the bathroom was fully stocked with everything you might have needed, saving you a trip to the store. She even had ear plugs available for those heading to COTA (again, us), umbrellas, light jackets, water bottles, a cooler... I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, which just goes to show how completely covered you'll be if you come here :) As for the room, it was spacious, clean, comfortable, had funky decoration and the bed... what can I even say about the bed? It's the most exquisitely comfortable sleep you can probably get in all of Texas. She has a herd of lovely pets (three cats and a dog) who were so friendly and cuddly, it really staved off the homesickness for my own kitty :p.

I don't think we could have picked a better place to stay or a better hostess. It was worth every cent we paid and more. When we come back to Austin (and we definitely will!), we won't stay anywhere else if we can help it. Thanks again Jackie, for making our trip so awesome!"
1153338,8955683,2013-11-28,9125150,Jessica,"Staying with Jackie was such a treat. She is an excellent host - and thought of anything you could possibly need during your stay. Prior to the trip, she asked what our interests are and what kind of foods we like, and came up with a big list of awesome options. Nothing about boarding with Jackie was stressful.. she's easygoing, flexible, helpful and thoughtful. The apartment is so cozy and nice. It felt like being at home. It's so close to downtown and tons of fun things to do. Perfect location. I would definitely recommend staying with her, and I would totally stay with her again!"
1153338,9149812,2013-12-09,10354034,Brandi,"We really enjoyed our stay here! The place was perfect for the two of us and Jackie was VERY helpful.  I'd of loved to stay longer. The weekend just wasn't long enough! 
I'm positive that when we return we will stay here again. : )"
1153338,9686201,2014-01-05,9054599,Y.,"I had a terrific time at Jackie's place and the stay at her's was fantastic. Jackie was super nice right from the very first second we met and she always made herself available when there was a question during my stay. She's simply a great host and a lovely person. Noone couldn't have made me feel more welcome - I felt right at home and among friends.
The apartment is super cute, well decorated, clean and a pleasure to stay at with it's wonderful, huge and comfi bed. Five stars all around!!!! I had a great Austin experience thanks to Sweetheart Jackie and here lovely appartment! I will definitely come back and stay here again! 
"
1153338,9791760,2014-01-10,648217,April,"My daughter and I spent 3 nights at Jackie's for a mother-daughter getaway before she headed back to college. The location is perfect...close to everything.. SOCO, So.First, So.Llamar, downtown and it has easy access to major highways. We had planned our trip for hiking, a little shopping and of course the food scene but due to the weather being unusually cold (teens-20's) the hiking didn't happen. Jackie was super helpful with information regarding local sites, eats, ect. The apartment was easy to find, has curbside parking (no high priced hotel parking here), had everything we needed plus some and is the super cute/unique Austin mod podge in design. The bed is AWESOME comfortable (which was a major plus since we spent a lot of time watching movies and reading in it due to the weather). Jayda (Jackie's rescue dog) came by from time to time to check on us....she is so sweet and a bit timid but her and my daughter became fast friends. If you like the high end hotel scene this is not for you but if you like something laid back, comfortable, close to everything with the addition of a kitchen and a host who knows the area this is IT."
1153338,10275643,2014-02-10,48554,Young Min,it was cozy and Jackie was most attentive host. 
1153338,10386501,2014-02-17,5391467,Lisa,"Super cute! The bed is amazingly comfortable. Very clean, and Jackie is so nice and helpful: places to eat, things to do, how to get there..she's a great resource. The room feels a bit small for two when eating in - but with all the amazing choices in Austin, we simply enjoyed coffee on the patio (in February!), and some take out one night. "
1153338,10438140,2014-02-18,12040054,Kristyn,Our stay at this cozy place was awesome! Jackie was so incredibly nice and accommodating. She suggested great places to go eat and drink as well. Couldn't have asked for more!
1153338,10550219,2014-02-24,11983645,Stephanie,"This place was awesome!!! Jackie was so nice and attentive. She gave us great ideas of places to go and check out and of course the room was cozy, clean, with an amazingly comfy bed. Best night sleep ever!!! I will definitely book this place again :)"
1153338,10666686,2014-03-02,2366388,Pablo & Camille,"Jackie is a such a nice person. She is very thoughtful and she gave us a lot of tips that helped us feel welcome and cozy. The guest house is wonderful and comfy, you have everything you need to feel like at home. Everything is super clean and organized. We stayed with our baby girl and since the bed is king size we could sleep the three of us perfectly. The location is great, just a minutes drive to downtown. We recommend jackie's house to have a great stay in Austin. "
1153338,10842218,2014-03-10,6134811,Rose,We rented this place during the madness of SXSW and I'm so glad we did. It was a perfect getaway from all the insanity. Jackie has an amazing little place—super cozy and cute! Jackie herself was incredibly accommodating and friendly as well. I couldn't really ask for a better Air B&B experience. Can't wait to come back! 
1153338,10898274,2014-03-11,9036855,Antonia,Jackie is a wonderful woman with a kind heart! I feel so lucky to have found her during SXSW. Her hospitality was incredible.
1153338,10953706,2014-03-15,10396489,Sarah,"We loved our stay at Jackiesl She goes above and beyond for her guests and the place has everything you could ever need! It was very very comfortable and is located a short bus ride to Soco (great shopping and food) and downtown. We went for SXSW and couldnt have asked for a better place to come home to every night. Also have to mention her beautiful animals, was fantastic to open the door to cuddles from her beautiful dog and cats, we miss them already! We'll definitley be coming back!"
1153338,11026952,2014-03-17,10504942,Michael,"Jackie is fantastic.  Her place is very comfortable, and she makes every effort to make guests feel at home.  I am so glad we chose to stay at her place instead of at a hotel.  It was a great experience, and we hope to see her again.  She's a genuinely good person who cares about people, and a hotel can't match that.

1153338,11229851,2014-03-25,1747839,Desirae,Cozy place with lots of character! We didn't stay in much but remember the bed being very comfortable.
1153338,11365975,2014-03-31,566280,Chloe,"Great Host, very hospitable. Went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable."
1153338,11552873,2014-04-07,1248811,Ronnie,"There is not enough I can say about Jackie's place, so I'll just say it was truly perfect. I will never even consider trying to book another place. I would rather re-plan my whole trip around being able to stay here :)!! Every need we had (and more!) was met immediately after arrival. Jackie's place is so close to everything we had no problem driving anywhere we wanted to go. Also, it's definitely worth it to take a moment to meet Jackie as she is such a lovely person who absolutely glows and radiates positivity! It's also worth nothing that any place that comes complete with a dog as loving and well behaved as Jayda is perfect!!

But I digress. The garage itself was spacious and Jackie thought of absolutely everything anyone could possibly need on a trip, and she has tons of recommendations on places to go and things to see. The backyard was beautiful and was definitely a safe haven for the calm moments when you just want to sit back and soak your trip in. All in all, just stop searching for a place. For the price, you will NOT find a better, more private, more fulfilling place in Austin! Is there a way I can double my star rating on here? :) see ya next time Jackie!"
1153338,11801842,2014-04-15,12476124,Kevin,Our stay at Jackie's place was excellent. She provided all sorts of necessities that to make our stay very comfortable. Would definitely stay again in the future.
1153338,11934081,2014-04-19,13245928,Nancy,"Jackie's getaway was even more awesome than presented on airbnb. Romantic, private, fresh fruit & freshly ground coffee to greet us, great bed with comfy sheets, large fluffy bath towels, roomy shower for two, fully equipped & well stocked kitchen, excellent tile artistry throughout, friendly pets to greet us while enjoying the patio & spring weather. Lots of info & suggestions for places to go & things to do, even a picnic cooler/beach towels/umbrellas for outings!  We were so fortunate to finally meet Jackie on our last morning, such a lovely lady.  We definitely hope to snag her place again when we are visiting Austin"
1153338,12007443,2014-04-21,12034983,Kayla,Jackie is a very gracious host and the apartment is comfortable and has everything needed! It is also in a great location. The pets are adorable. Protip: there is a full-length mirror behind the door next to the bed!!!! We had a great trip and look forward to coming back.
1153338,12255728,2014-04-27,3040474,Tempest,"My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful stay here; I only wish we could have stayed longer. This adorable garden cottage is really nicely laid out and furnished (with a huge extra comfy bed) and with our car we were ""downtown"" in a few minutes. The host, Jackie, was exceptionally welcoming and friendly and went out of her way to ensure we had a great time in Austin (which we sure did!). Highly recommended. "
1153338,12404746,2014-05-01,4497503,Courtney,"We stayed with Jackie while we were scoping out Austin for a place to live.  Great place, great location, great host and a comfy bed.  What more could you want?  I would definitely stay with Jackie again."
1153338,12542625,2014-05-05,4677416,Ronnie,"Jackie is quite simply the perfect host. She left us alone unless we needed her and then she was highly attentive and helpful. The casita is also perfect. Cozy, quaint, comfy and located perfectly with easy access to everything. The taco truck a block away is a huge plus as well. For the price this casita is unbeatable."
1153338,12733011,2014-05-09,15000890,Jennifer,I was only in town for one night for a job interview and Jackie was very accommodating and very thorough. The space was very clean and welcoming as well. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay with her and I would definitely stay with her again. 
1153338,13057611,2014-05-18,11828699,Robert,"We only stayed one night in Austin but what a great time. Jackie has a great place. Cozy, all the necessities we needed. Gracious host. Helped us with ideas for breakfast. Highly recommended!"
1153338,13188607,2014-05-21,12588866,Phet,"This was such a wonderful place to stay at, and perfect for our family!!  The king size bed was comfy and more than spacious for my bf, my one yr old, and myself;)  The kitchen was great; it was filled with kitchen things that does come in handy ( such as a container ).  There were little random things that you wouldn't think of until you get there or are in need of it, such as a cooler, which we did use to store our daughters milk while we were out exploring.  
And Jackie is an amazing host!!  She went out of her way to remove chemical items knowing that our daughter could get into them.  She mailed our camera that we left there ( we'll get pics out to you soon ).  She kept in contact to make sure that everything was ok. Her pets were friendly and gentle with our 1 yr old.  If ever in austin we would stay here again!!  "
1153338,13334704,2014-05-25,15857863,Jane,"I was only in town for one night for a potential job offer, but Jackie's place was the perfect little retreat for my quick visit! The garage apartment is adorable and has everything you could ever possibly need! And the bed is extra comfy - it was some of the best sleep I've had in a while! She truly makes you feel at home. Her sweet pets greeted me upon arrival, but I happen to be an animal person so I loved this! They are all completely gentle and well-behaved. Jackie was beyond hospitable, making sure I was comfortable and could find things around town, even offering to put me touch with people/services if/when I move to Austin. I truly appreciated her kindness and generosity!"
1153338,13439172,2014-05-27,15305509,Eric,"Jackie's place was great. A cozy, kitsch retreat fully stocked with cooking utensils, tea, pots, pans, and a radio which played such great local tunes we left it on the whole time my girlfriend and I were there. The bed is enormous - plenty or room for rest and play - and the most comfortable bed we had slept on in a long time to be sure. And with helpful amenities like bus routes, take out menus from nearby joints, and complimentary toiletries. Jackie herself is very attentive. She gave a great suggestion on where to go and how to make the most of our trip. We've been to Austin before, but it wasn't until Jackie suggested hip jazz joint The Elephant Room that we got a sense of why Austin calls itself the music capital of the world - great stuff. In short, we had a great, comfortable stay and would definitely book here again. "
1153338,13887429,2014-06-07,4281944,Alexa,Super cute place. Very clean. Excellent location. Loved the sweet greeting I'd get from Jayda her sweet pup. Jackie was very helpful and gave great tips on dining and shopping in the city. Definitely recommend staying here. 
1153338,14291107,2014-06-16,11689525,Myrna,"We had been at Jackie's house on a previous occasion but this was our first stay at her cottage. A group of us came together and her home was a perfect arrangement for us.  Our friends were in the main house with their children and we were in the apartment.  
Jackie was welcoming and gave several suggestions for meals.  Britt became ill and she graciously allowed us to delay our departure; we greatly appreciated the latitude she afforded us. 
The accommodations were comfortable and suited our needs well. The bathroom is small but efficient.  There were umbrellas, insect repellent, a picnic basket and menus of local eateries.  We highly recommend Jackie's cottage and would stay there again. "
1153338,14806675,2014-06-26,8163998,Andrew,"My first and only conversation with Jackie was super great , friendly and informative. We were very comfortable and I love her sweet sweet dog and friendly kitties.

The location was slightly farther from the center of things than I wanted but still
Very close. The privacy and the comfort were so great and Jackie was so
Kind and friendly.

I would definitely recommend staying with Jackie."
1153338,15012624,2014-06-30,735736,John,"Jackie was very helpful, wonderful hostess."
1153338,15352234,2014-07-07,12179398,Krystal,"Jackie was an amazing host!  She was very welcoming - it was like staying with an good friend instead of a stranger.  The apartment had everything we needed (including stuff we didn't think we needed but apparently did!).  The bed was extremely comfortable; we wanted to take it home with us!  Everything was spotless, and her kitchen was packed with goodies.  Jackie was so courteous and picked us up from the airport even though she was in the middle of her July 4th party.  When we arrived, we planned to scoot out as to not interrupt her festivities, but instead were invited to join in and hung out with some new-found friends.  I can't think of a better introduction to Austin!  

She left plenty of helpful tips on the area, and some menus of killer restaurants (Casa Maria any day, please).  Jackie's pets are all super sweet and very friendly and always said hello when we went outside :).  When the bus system failed us on Sunday, she even went above and beyond to get us to Barton Springs and to the airport on time.  I would stay with her again in a heartbeat for our next Austin adventure!"
1153338,17176542,2014-08-08,18966181,Stephen,"Great experience, Jackie is the most accommodating hostess in the Republic of Texas. Stayed 11 nights and enjoyed the quiet during the day when we were sleeping. Bed was great as was the hot shower.
Will stay again if we ever get back in the area"
1153338,17710676,2014-08-16,7089711,Kimberly,"Jackie is a wonderful hostess! The apartment was clean, welcoming, and we had such a great time visiting Austin. Jackie was very helpful and responsive if we had any problems and she gave us great recommendations for the area and visiting Austin in general. I absolutely would recommend Jackie as a hostess and her apartment as a cute getaway. "
1153338,18101007,2014-08-21,20215227,Leigh Anne,"Jackie was very welcoming and helpful. I was only there for about 12 hours so I didn't need much. Nice big bed. Quiet. Good hot shower. It met my needs. 
"
1153338,18338848,2014-08-25,19063667,Roberto,Our stay at Jackie's was great!  Nice private space and really cute pets. Jackie was really helpful with tips about local eateries. 
1153338,18954969,2014-09-03,9451226,Brian,Jackie's place was amazing! It had all the necessities and more including a full kitchen and plenty of toiletries and snacks. She was incredible responsive and provided great recommendations for Austin. Truly a great place and experience!
1153338,19231241,2014-09-08,3958569,Andrew,"First, let me say that Jackie is a wonderful host. She's super helpful, interesting, and warm. From her hand-written welcome note to the chicken soup in the fridge, I felt warmly welcomed. As an AirBnB host myself, Jackie raised the bar!

The space itself is well located, and fun. The decor is funky and charming. While I didn't cook, there's a nice sized kitchen, fridge, and really anything you'd need to fend for yourself or not. Within walking distance, you'll find tacos, thai, and a full market with the full assortment. It's a great setup, and really includes anything you'll need for business or fun while in Austin.

For me, this stay epitomized everything AirBnB's about. Loved it and will definitely stay again on my next trip!"
1153338,19450321,2014-09-12,21105976,Mary,"The room was cozy and decorated in a way that was warm and inviting. The king size bed (which is what caught my attention to begin with...we like a king bed!) was soooo comfortable. Jackie was an awesome host. Our trip was a last minute business trip and she was very accommodating.  She had all kinds of snacks and necessities for us and greeted us with a welcoming note when we arrived. We decided to run up the road for a few minutes and saw her door open, so we stopped by to meet her. She is a very warm and personable lady! Very nice. We talked for a while and it was like we've known her forever! Very easy to talk to. We highly recommend staying here, as you will find everything you need and a FANTASTIC host in Jackie! Thanks, Jackie, for accepting us (being new to Airbnb) on such short notice and late arrival. Everything went so smooth and we enjoyed our quick trip! Will definitely be back!"
1153338,19738828,2014-09-17,12362784,Daniel,Jackie is a very warm and welcoming host. Accommodation would benefit from some updating but location was decent. South Congress definitely the place to be. 
1153338,20011310,2014-09-22,8706893,Patrick,Another great weekend in Austin! Jackie's place was super convenient to gettind downtown or out to the airport. Fantastically comfy bed and great amenities. Our go to place to stay on any future trips back to Texas.
1153338,20601382,2014-10-02,2448519,Amy,"My husband and I loved this little cottage in the heart of Austin. Jackie was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed, such as food and a bottle of wine that were most welcome after a long day of travel. The cottage is a cozy place to relax after a day of sightseeing and is located in a safe neighborhood convenient to everything you want to see in Austin. The king-size bed is super comfortable and the air conditioning is nice and cool, which was great after hours spent in the Texas heat. Jackie's sweet cats and dog greeted us as we came and went, and were model citizens. I particularly enjoyed the artistic touches in the cottage, such as the colorful tile work and the arty lamps. Jackie even thought to provide beach towels, which we needed for a morning at nearby Barton Springs. Jackie made herself reachable via text or phone call if we needed anything. If/when we return to Austin, we would be happy to stay here again!"
1153338,20891964,2014-10-07,14666116,Bruce,"As i was new to Airbnb, i didnt know what to expect. Jackie set the bar extremely high. She was an awesome host. She kept in contact before arrival and offered helpful suggestions on the local scene and every one of her recommendations was on the money. We loved the cozy cottage and would definitely stay there again. Great location. We were in town for the ACL festival and she provided info on everything from clubs, bands, places to eat, bus schedules and parking. She had snacks in the room when we arrived and the refrigerator was stocked with water and some food items. Jackie even provided items such as folding chairs, blankets, a cooler umbrellas, hats and a backpack for us to use. (Which we did) Jackie's hospitality was more than we could have hoped for. We didnt see much of her as we were gone during the day but she was always quick to respond. Jackie was very friendly and engaging. Jackies dog Jayda was very nice too and would greet us when we got back. Thanks for everything Jackie. "
1153338,21086506,2014-10-11,2724148,Valarie,"We had the best stay in Jackie's guest house! It's just a short drive or bus ride to South Congress Ave and the South First Ave business district. The perfect location for anyone looking to check out Austin's vibrant music scene! Though we didn't get to meet her face to face, we felt SO welcomed from the time we made our reservations. Jackie is very communicative and made great recommendations on local attractions to visit and the best neighborhood spots to grab some good grub. None of them disappointed, by the way :) Her guest house is comfortable and fully furnished with everything you might need! I can't recommend booking with Jackie enough.  5 stars. 10 out of 10. Exceeded Expectations. "
1153338,21277327,2014-10-14,16857268,Kathleen,"Jackie's apartment was our first time using Airbnb... and boy was it great!!! We stayed here for ACL fest. It was a perfect location to the festival and lots of other food trucks and things to see nearby! Jackie provided us with chairs, umbrellas, water bottles, etc. to take to the festival, plus she gave us very important tips for the event. We would have been very unprepared if it weren't for her advice and expertise! We met with Jackie the second day there, and she was all about making our experience the best it could possibly be! Her apartment is so cute, comfy bed, cozy.... I could go on and on. We decided after Day 1 that next time we come back to Austin we will be staying here if we can! I recommend this apartment over a hotel for sure! "
1153338,21521050,2014-10-19,21091613,Courtney,"During my stay I was not able to meet Jackie, however she made sure we felt at home! Before we arrived she let us know the best way to get to the house as well as recommendations for food and bars around the area. We only were able  to stay one night, however she made sure that coffee was available for us to have in the morning, and she even went out and bought cream the next morning for us in case we didn't like almond milk! After we left she even called to me let know I had left something behind. It truly was a great experience, and can't wait to stay again and meet Jackie the second time around. This back house was conveniently located on the south side of Austin not far from interstate 35 off of Ben white. Very close to many awesome places in Austin - including my favorite coffee shop Summermoon. Definitely recommend staying here. It is a small and quaint house and the bed is so comfortable! Not to mention a great host."
1153338,21620971,2014-10-20,12880556,Lyn,"My husband and I stayed 1 night in Jackie's apartment and we loved it. Jackie thought of everything. The apartment was stocked with food, coffee, tea, shampoo, hair dryer, etc. Jackie was very responsive to any correspondence that I sent to her. She even called to let me know the apartment was ready early. To top it off, the location was very convenient. My husband and I found our new home base when we travel to Austin to visit our son. We will definitely return. This was one of my best Airbnb experiences. "
1153338,23277302,2014-11-27,22131758,Heather,Jackie was extremely accommodating. She was very informative about the area and kept the place stocked with all of the basic amenities.  The place is adorably decorated and feels very homey. We loved our stay in Austin!
1153338,23736010,2014-12-08,84594,Abriel,"Beautiful space, warm welcome, and a perfect place to put my dad while he visited. I especially liked that there was a pantry of food and Jackie said, ""The food is not ornamental. Please eat it!""
"
1153338,24571237,2014-12-30,6949691,Carrie,"Jackie was out of town when we were there but she was always available for questions and suggestions. The downsides were the wireless internet did not work very well for us and there was no cable TV. Honestly, if the weather outside was nice, I wouldn't even bother with the TV or internet. Just know that if you absolutely need all the TV channels and super fast internet, this may not be the place for you. On the positive side, the location of this place was great. We were grateful for all the tea and water Jackie had available while we were stuck in the house during a cold weather weekend we were there. I would recommend this place to visitors!"
1153338,24962029,2015-01-04,20786241,Ryan,"Jackie is the sweetest, coolest host we could ask for. The place was clean and well-stocked, and she encouraged us to eat the food there. The location is also perfect for us, or anyone who prefers Austin's south side over the burbs to the north and west. On top of the great location, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to everything, Jackie gave us some extra corn chowder she happened to have made! And it was delicious! Not that anyone should expect that kindness, but it happened, and we had a fantastic time. And we would not hesitate to stay at Jackie's place in the future."
1153338,25359636,2015-01-13,16026357,Melissa,"The apartment is located in a quiet neighborhood close to major highways. We found the location perfect to travel further south in central texas, while still being within minutes drive of downtown. Jackie provided a lot of snacks and basic items like oils and seasonings. The entire place is well stocked throughout, including toiletry items just in case you've forgotten anything. 
We spent a few rare freezing nights in austin but in this cozy spot, Jackie made sure the space stayed warm and comfortable with plenty of heaters. The bed is a luscious king-sized mattress with heavy bedding that we had trouble leaving in the morning. 

We met Jackie a few times, and she gave us helpful recommendations on where to go for a bite to eat and also did our laundry at one point. She was always available if we needed anything, and we felt extremely taken care of. 

Also, we couldn't help but mention Jackie's pets. Jayda, the dog, was our pal when we'd have lazy-start mornings, sitting in the sun on the patio, the cats would also join us cozying up on our laps when invited. The animals are all really friendly and extremely well-behaved, they don't come into your space without an invite so you can interact with them as much or as little as you want.

We felt very comfortable and at home and Jackie couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely look to stay here again next time we're in the area. "
1153338,25611304,2015-01-20,17977985,Jordan,"Jackie made us feel very welcome, we had everything we might have ever needed in our awesome back house: beach towels, bags, snacks, you name it! It was really incredible. The house was such an awesome hideaway with great access to a bus line that takes you straight to downtown as well as the great restaurants on South 1st. We had such an amazing time here!!"
1153338,25807162,2015-01-26,2768127,Reese,Jackie was fantastic! She was very helpful and alert knowledgeable about everything around us and around Austin. The place was very cozy and perfect for our weekend getaway. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for somewhere very comfortable and convenient!
1153338,26098683,2015-02-03,24640899,Oskar,"Jackie was very welcoming and the room was fantastic! The room was as advertised and was furnished with very cool tile designs for the counters. The bed was incredibly comfortable (I remember not wanting to leave it in the morning) and the kitchen had everything you will need to make a meal. Jackie also went out of her way to give me great and detailed recommendations on some of the best local places to eat. The neighbourhood was quiet, but also close enough to local restaurants and stores that walking was not a problem. "
1153338,26173071,2015-02-05,27076446,John,"Jackie was such a personable and warm host.  She immediately made you feel like you were an old friend or member of the family.  Her place was nice and private and felt like a nice little home.  She had everything to make your stay feel comfortable.  Really recommend her place if you want nice place for your own, including a small well stocked kitchen.  Great for extended stays."
1153338,26323006,2015-02-09,26607532,Thomas,"Jackie was a wonderful host during our weekend in Austin. Just a few miles from downtown, the location was very convenient, and Jackie also provided many helpful suggestions for things to do within walking distance. The garage apartment itself was very comfortable, with several thoughtful amenities that made our stay more enjoyable. I would recommend Jackie's place to anyone looking for a convenient and cozy place to stay in Austin, TX."
1153338,26482021,2015-02-14,3264524,Kristin,"Honestly, the photos of this adorable casita do not do it justice. The furniture and style within are so much lovelier in person -- adorable bathroom with quaint tiling, huge comfy carved bed, lovely wardrobe and desk. It's even better than the photos show. Jackie was the best host I've encountered. She even offered to pick me up from the airport (which should not be expected but made me feel very at home)! She literally welcomes you into her home (the big house in front of the casita) if you need anything at all. There were snacks and ingredients for cooking, making it a perfect spot if you're visiting for a longer stay and want to make some meals. But there are plenty of great taco spots and bar down the street with a great burger (even a great veggie burger). I stayed for a week long class, and it was an easy walk away, and such a relaxing place to crash at night. I'll definitely be back. Thanks for everything, Jackie!"
1153338,27057261,2015-02-24,25977441,Matthew,"Jackie was a great host and made us feel really at ease! The place was well stocked with snacks and supplies which helped when we got into town late after a long plane ride. She even turned up the heat before we got there which was great because Austin was having a weird cold snap! The whole apartment was comfortable, clean, and the amenities were great (the hot water and the shower worked really well and there were plenty of outlets to charge your phone and laptop, etc.) She had a lot of ground coffee and a coffeepot in the kitchenette that worked out really well also! The bed was really nice and comfy also! I think it was a queen but it felt like a King bed. It's also really stylish- I like the southwest style- it's funky and hip! This apartment is detached from the house so you have a lot of privacy and it looks tiny on the outside but is surprisingly roomy on the inside! Also, Jackie has some really nice cats and a sweet old dog that greet you when you come back to the apartment every evening! Jackie even let us borrow some crafting supplies to quickly wrap up a last minute present we were giving to a friend in the area.

Other practical benefits of this place include its proximity to a grocery store and some taco carts which provide cheap decent grub for the exhausted last minute traveler (Cash only of course- this is a taco cart we're talking about!) ! 

What's most important is we were traveling with an infant so were really glad the amenities were clean/well-stocked/fresh. Lastly, the wifi she supplied for us was very fast and reliable!

Gosh there's so much more I could say about this place but I think I'm gonna run out of room to write this review. In short, 10/10 I would stay here again! Who would ever want to stay in an ordinary hotel again? "
1153338,27349264,2015-03-02,5664997,Roxanne,"Jackie was an awesome host.  She gave us many suggestions for activities, restaurants, bars, etc.  All were great!  The guest house is  quaint and adorable with plenty of space.  It was cold the weekend we visited, but the water was hot instantly - huge bonus!  Jackie responded quickly and available anytime we needed anything.  Will definitely be back!"
1153338,27728532,2015-03-10,27642953,Theresa,"I highly recommend this home to visitors who want to experience the true spirit of Austin--friendly, hospitable and open-minded. We were very comfortable in this cozy, well-supplied and well-furnished spot. With a big backyard we woke up to birds singing rather than city noise. Jackie thought of absolutely everything to ensure that we were well cared-for and had fun. We cooked some of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen, but times we didn't feel like cooking we could get delicious tacos from 2 taco trucks around the corner. The bus stop around the corner made it easy to get to great cafes, shops and bars in lovely South Austin and also the downtown area. We liked it so much we decided to stay an extra night. Our only regret is not having had a chance to get to know Jackie better. "
1153338,28123634,2015-03-18,26648823,Ken,"Jackie was in contact with me immediately with a welcoming note. We corresponded several times before I got there. She was there to meet me and showed me around her home and the apartment, letting me know that the fully stocked fridge and cabinets were really there for me at no charge. The place was clean, comfortable and fully equipped. Since she knew I'd be commuting the 2.5 miles into town every day, she even bought me a weekly bus ticket and wouldn't let me pay her for it. I used it every day. But she gave me a ride into town in her own car when I arrived and dropped off my bags. Pretty much from the minute I met her I felt like we were old friends. She was fantastic. Couldn't have been a better first Airbnb experience."
1153338,28340422,2015-03-22,395596,Todd,"Jackie is a great host. She gave great advice, including an umbrella and bus routes. I chose to ride a bike for the first few days, which was fine until it started to rain. Jackie prepped me for the inevitable Austin showers, and then made suggestions for the bus I would need to take into town. Her place was just as described, and is very convenient if you're downtown a lot like me. She also stocked the fridge and the cupboards with the basics so I didn't have to wander to a convenience store late at night. I was too busy to meet Jackie in person (SXSW) but she was very warm in her correspondence, making my trip easy and successful. Nice, quiet, and clean -- a great place for an Austin weekend."
1153338,29008725,2015-04-02,9443373,Sarah,"Jackie's place was fantastic! Her place is stocked with everything you could possibly need: postcards, plenty of snacks, to-go coffee cups, towels for Barton Springs, etc. Before our stay, she sent detailed instructions on how to get to her place and on places to check out nearby. Jackie was also super quick to respond to me via text and email. Added bonus: her animals are adorable! This truly is a fantastic place to stay when making a trip to Austin. "
1153338,29310870,2015-04-06,29158962,Jacob,Comfortable and cozy. Apartment has a great laid back Austin feel. Jackie was a great host and even provided us with fresh apple juice for our 2yo son! Bed was large and comfortable and the location was great. The outdoor seating area was awesome and we really enjoyed sitting outside in the evening. We would definitely stay again. 
1153338,29710217,2015-04-11,1913110,Jordan,"Jackie's attention to detail and thoughtfulness made my wife and I feel comfortable and welcome.  The space is unique and has everything road tripping folks would want for a stationary day or two in Austin. 

We rode our bikes all around Austin, and the South Congress bike lane makes getting from Jackies house to other areas a breeze.  

So glad we stayed here! "
1153338,29923480,2015-04-14,11982166,Ferenc,"Jackie was wonderful from the start. Very helpful from booking to the end. She provided extras like drinks, lots of snacks and directions if needed. The place is exactly as described. Quit, clean and comfortable bed. We will stay with her again. 
Thanx for having us.
Ferenc"
1153338,30106487,2015-04-17,922484,Roberta,Jackie was very accommodating and the space is just as listed. Very comfortable.
1153338,30302310,2015-04-20,25711949,Renetrist (Rene),My husband and I were in town for a music festival and really enjoyed staying at Jackie's place. The weather was horrible but it was very close to the venue and great food so that made it a little better. Nice quiet spot with a super cozy bed. I didn't get a chance to meet Jackie but she let me know I could contact her if I needed anything and her roommates were home. She also had many small things that you normally forget which really came in handy (like in my case an umbrella). 
1153338,30578682,2015-04-24,24733201,Alyn,"I had a fantastic time at Jackie's apartment space. The location was ideal and absolutely a fantastic spot to thoroughly enjoy Austin. Located off 1st and just passed the Ben White pkwy, there were tons of coffee shops, food trucks, nightlife and just about minutes away to downtown Austin.

The space itself was just as described. Cute, and comfortable. Jackie even had some food/drinks and even hiking essentials in case we had forgotten ours. Just overall very satisfied with the experience and the level of hospitality Jackie had. Though we never met, she was very responsive via email and by phone.

I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin."
1153338,30806160,2015-04-27,9486869,Stephanie,"Jackie was sooo accommodating and had a great spot perfectly located for my folks.  She has carefully plotted not only super fun places to visit/eat around the house, but has everything you could need in the house.  My folks loved staying there with the giant awesome bed and the fun south austin feel of the house.
Jackie thanks sooo much!  We'll be back!"
1153338,31469242,2015-05-05,13003660,Jordana,"Not too far from downtown. Room was great for sleeping - quiet, dark, cozy, with a comfy bed. Jackie was a great host, always available and had lots of great tips and recommendations. She even gave us a ride downtown. Bonus -The room had a fridge with cold water bottles and snacks, and the dog is very sweet . Really enjoyed my trip! "
1153338,31946004,2015-05-12,26270209,Amalia,"My boyfriend and I were in town for the Psych Fest, and wanted to stay somewhere more comfortable than the hotel I had stayed in the previous year. I am so happy we chose to stay at Jackie's, it made our trip perfect. The location was amazing. Easy to get to and from the airport, and very easy to get downtown.  

We were greeted by her sweet animals when we arrived. It made us feel instantly at home. I was amazed to see the fully stocked cabinets and mini fridge of food! It was so nice to wake up and make a cup of real coffee. The entire space was extremely comfortable. It was also equipped with something for every situation. Umbrella, sunscreen, hair dryer, crossword puzzle, everything!

Jackie herself was amazing and extremely helpful with directions, ideas of things to do, great food within walking distance and countless other things! She was a wealth of knowledge of the area and that really helped us check things out like locals. Also, the festival we went to was extremely muddy from the rain and she was nice enough to get the hose so we could wash our shoes off. We really felt as if we were staying with a family member. We will definitely stay again!"
1153338,32999729,2015-05-24,13527703,Courtney,Jackie was a perfect host. The space is perfect for what we needed and she even provided dinner and beer one night. Very easy to work with and made everything feel like home.
1153338,33367407,2015-05-27,946329,Samantha,"Jackie was an amazing host! She was extremely welcoming and gave us so many great tips about the city, how to get around, the best BBQ, and all of the things we didn't need to pack because she already had them in the guest house (towels, umbrellas, etc.). 

We ended up in Austin during unseasonably heavy rains and she even offered for us to extend our stay free of charge because the weather had been so bad. While we couldn't take her up on the offer, it was so nice of her to even suggest it. 

I have stayed in multiple AirBnbs but this one was definitely the easiest and most pleasant experience. I would highly recommend staying with Jackie if you come to Austin! "
1153338,34257336,2015-06-06,29211255,Darryl,Although it was a short stay it was very relaxing. Jackie provided very detailed instructions on what to expect and where to go nearby to experience local  and activities. The studio apartment had all of the conveniences of home including a well stocked fridge and pantry. Thanks Jackie for a great stay.
1153338,34677464,2015-06-10,22583782,Kenzie,"Jackie was an excellent host. Even though we never met face to face, she provided us with so much local information and her apartment was very comfortable. It was a nice touch that she had it full of food and other items that she was happy to let you use or borrow. Her animals are all very sweet and her dog will be especially happy to greet you every time you come through the gate!"
1153338,35121060,2015-06-15,9287619,Ben,Very cozy garage apartment. Great spot for a weekend getaway.
1153338,35296886,2015-06-17,26871308,Jennifer,"This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was terrific.  Jackie was very accomodating when I had to change my reservation, the place was just as described, and it was really a lovely experience all around.
I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises."
1153338,36429589,2015-06-28,35020524,Cheyenne,"Jackie is such a wonderful host, we didn't have the chance to meet her because my boyfriend and I were in such a hurry to float the river Saturday morning and we went out as soon as we checked in Friday night. We did talk several times on the phone though and she is a very sweet lady. The house was very comforting and was stocked with anything and everything you would need in case you forgot to pack it. I hope you enjoy your stay just as much as we did! As a mother of a toddler boy it was a very nice weekend getaway for my birthday."
1153338,37042962,2015-07-04,29292173,Frances,"Staying with Jackie was an absolute pleasure. She was more than accommodating, very communicative, and had everything you could need there. The bed was really comfortable, and the apartment was very cozy. We had zero problems with the space or with our host. She gave us a hundred recommendations on ways to spend the week when we first got there, and all of her recs were spot on. 

It was a fantastic week. "
1153338,37392384,2015-07-06,841982,Wendy,What a great place to stay in Austin!  Jackie thoughtfully provided us with everything we needed plus information about the area.  We were thrilled to be in walking distance of so many food options plus a local brewery.  Comfy bed and friendly pets.  Nice neighborhood with very little traffic. Thanks to Jackie for providing a great 4th of July getaway location for us!
1153338,38991675,2015-07-20,30911302,Henry,"I often heard ""Everything is Bigger in Texas.""  Jackie's heart  proves that saying to be true. From the moment I was confirmed to the moment I returned home, Jackie was there for me 1,000 percent. 

To ensure my feeling welcomed, Jackie kindly instead on picking me up at the airport in Austin, followed by a quick tour of downtown.  Before settling me into my new home away from home, Jackie kindly stopped to let me pick up some wine. Once introducing me to her dog and cat, Jayda and Cabiria, Jackie left me to unpack. Oh and did I mention Jackie walked to the Creative side Jewelry Academy to make sure I knew where the school was in reference to my new digs. 

Throughout my stay Jackie was there if I needed something and always made sure she was not imposing upon my stay. Nearby food trucks and restaurants were clearly mapped out, making it easy for me to pick a place for dinner or breakfast. 

Aside from the nearby trucks, etc., Jackie made sure the cubbards were filled with snacks and quick fix-in's just incase I was too tired to venture out. 

Jackie's colorful decor made sure I'd find myself in an upbeat mood, morning and evening. A large soft bed and pillows comforted me after a long day at the Jewelry Academy. A TV was provided with local channels to keep me informed about the sunny, hot weather daily. An under counted refrigerator and microwave rounded out my kitchen needs.

The couple of early evenings that I chose to sit outside to relax and enjoy the quiet neighborhood, I was always greeted by my two favorite buddies, Jayda and Cabiria. Missing my own pets, it was great to be welcomed by my two new best friends every morning and night. 

Should you have need to stay in Austin, especially if attending the Jewelry Academy, Jackie's home away from home is the place for you. You will be treated as if you are royalty. Her concern did not end once I left. I returned home to a message from Jackie hoping my flight home was pleasant and safe.  

All in all a Ten Star experience! "
1153338,39863184,2015-07-26,21879222,Alexandria,This was our favorite Air BnB so far!  Lots of little extras to make us comfortable and the bed was a giant King size bed! Also really close to Barton Springs and lots of other cool places and restaurants.  We really enjoyed our stay and Jackie made us feel totally welcome!
1153338,40535022,2015-07-31,1445117,Chuck,A cozy little bungalow with all the amenities you could hope for. Including super cute and friendly critters! We've been looking for a place like this when we spend an evening in the city. We'll definitely be back.
1153338,41458195,2015-08-07,22692685,Taylor,We had a wonderful stay in Jackie's little cottage ! The bed was so big and so comfy. She provided everything we needed plus little extras and always helped us out where to go eat and things to do in Austin. Would for sure stay there again if going back!!
1153338,42572816,2015-08-14,39066444,Gary,"Jackie was a wonderful hostess.  The room was stocked with lots of food and bottled water.  A complete kitchen offered everything that we needed for our meals when we ate in.  Just a block away is a major boulevard with multiple restaurants from which to choose.  Jackie offered much written information about recommended restaurants and things to see and do in Austin.  This is a great location for anyone who wants to be close to downtown but not have to pay downtown prices.  The room was very comfortable and clean.  Also, total privacy was given to us.  This is an excellent place to stay."
1153338,43145328,2015-08-17,15694386,Megan,"Jackie was awesome! She gave amazing detailed information on places near her place as well as downtown Austin. She even called to give me contact information for a petty cab to take us to restaurants and bars! The place was in a great location close to south congress, downtown and Barton Springs. would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin! Thanks Jackie!"
1153338,44160504,2015-08-24,37833356,Steven,"Very comfy cottage that is well appointed.  Huge, comfortable bed and refreshing snacks provided.  Jayda was a very sweet dog and we also got a visit from the kitties.  It's close to downtown, only about 7-8 dollars to downtown by Uber.  Would definitely stay here again!"
1153338,44794664,2015-08-29,16050402,Katie,Jackie's place was great and exactly as she described it.  It's a great location in south Austin and she provided a plethora of local information.
1153338,46133750,2015-09-08,12034983,Kayla,"This was our second time staying at Jackie's place. Great experience as before, everything we needed was provided and more! Did not get to say hi in person due to the busy holiday weekend, but Jackie stayed in touch. Thanks again!"
1153338,47502263,2015-09-19,11329284,Rosalinda,"Jackie's place was exactly what I needed for my quick private getaway to Austin. The space is beautiful, clean, and fully stocked with anything you might have forgotten. Jackie was incredibly helpful and made me feel completely at home in her space."
1153338,47531441,2015-09-20,22009639,Keni,Jackie has an amazing place in Austin. Its a perfect distance from 6th and accessible to many of Austin's treasures. Her restaurant recommendations are excellent! Make sure to go to Casa Maria. We had a great time in Austin. Thanks Jackie!
1153338,47800010,2015-09-21,22009639,Keni,Really wonderful!
1153338,48561761,2015-09-27,1551085,Anna,"Jackie was very lovely and welcoming.  Very attentive when needed.  Friendly and open to chat when we crossed paths and also gave privacy.  The space was super supplied, really everything was thought of, and very clean.  Would go back in a heartbeat."
1153338,50624934,2015-10-13,39509262,Kevin,"We felt very at home staying at Jackies. The bed was so comfortable and there was plenty of towels, the fridge was stocked with snack witch I really enjoyed lol. "
1153338,51328600,2015-10-19,44371457,Kat,Awesome first air bnb experience! Jackie had all the little touches thought of to make our experience comfortable.  We also loved her animals! We will certainly be back!
1153338,51802571,2015-10-24,1477402,Theresa,"Thank you so much for hosting us! My boyfriend Aaron and I were in town for a few days because he had a job interview. (We are moving to the Kyle, TX area in January yay!) The bed and pillows were so comfortable (I would love to know where they are from so we could buy them for our new place :) ) The kitchen was stocked full of food, coffee, snacks, water, and everything else we could need. The bathroom was so cute with its one-of-a-kind touches.

Jayda the dog and the beautiful white cat Cabiria were so welcoming and always looked so happy to see us. So very cute!!

The location is very good and close to many food options. I recommend trying P. Terry's Burger Stand just a quick 1 minute drive away. Delicious! Also try the fried deviled eggs at Lucy's Fried Chicken. It's the first thing we eat when we fly into Austin every time. Also, we went to the Bender Bar which was a quick 2 minute walk around the block and met up with our friend for drinks. The nachos there were yummy.

We would stay here again in a heartbeat. I also appreciated Jackie messaging us during our stay to wish Aaron luck on his interview and to make sure everything was okay. She is very thoughtful. Thanks again!"
1153338,52232310,2015-10-27,41417108,Alok,"Staying at Jackie's listing was fantastic.  The location is private, easy to access, clean and nicely decorated. She is a great host.  Just about anything we could've asked for was available and she was very responsive to our messages.  Will definitely look to staying again our next time in Austin."
729271,10925734,2014-03-13,6213945,Felix,Beautiful home and Carol is a great host!! We will def stay here again!! Thank you Carol for your kind hospitality. 
729271,20843797,2014-10-06,20862996,Sarah,"I absolutely loved staying at Carol's house. Not only was she incredibly accommodating, but the condo itself is pretty, airy and comfortable. It is in a desirable area of Austin and I wholeheartedly recommend staying here. "
729271,21206483,2014-10-13,12736932,Kate,"My friends and I came to Austin for ACL, and this was the perfect spot! We booked last minute so there wasn't much available, but this turn out great! Carol was easy to work with and friendly. The condo was super cute and clean! We felt safe in the area and it was close to everything we wanted to do. "
729271,22354611,2014-11-04,2261630,Eric,"Great accommodations in a solid location. Near SoCo and easy in/out of downtown. Carol was quick to respond to inquiries and provided some helpful suggestions for our trip.

Good experience overall. "
729271,28251875,2015-03-21,1781206,Jamie,"This condo was a great base camp for our SXSW experience. About a 7 minute drive into downtown, lots of great spots along the way on South 1st street, and overall a very comfortable experience. Carol was responsive and flexible. The Condo is very clean and quiet and was as good for getting some work done in the morning as getting a good night's sleep."
349562,1003159,2012-03-15,1699395,Mark,"I couldn't recommend a better host. Bryan's place was well-described and his hosting was impeccable; he thought of everything from extra sheets and blankets all the way through to a ""Welcome to Austin"" booklet of his own creation. Great service and would recommend to anyone."
349562,3784079,2013-03-14,1454400,Heloise,"Bryan and his housemates were amazing hosts - very accommodating and generous. And the bungalow is fantastic, very central - we couldn't have stayed in a better spot. We'd love to come back!"
349562,10881606,2014-03-11,11945052,Lauren,"This was a fantastic stay and over all experience! Bryan was a fantastic host, and made sure his wonderful home was ready for us while we were in town for SXSW. The home was clean, well appointed, and welcoming. Bryan did everything to make us feel welcome, including leaving a 6 pack of Shiner Bock waiting in the Fridge!"
349562,28086565,2015-03-17,26065752,Brooke,"Bryan's home was even better than described. The location is fantastic. Although only a short walk/cab to downtown, the surrounding East Austin restaurants and entertainment venues were some of our favorites. And we have to admit that Bryan's sense of style wowed our group every time we stepped inside the house. It's not every airbnb that has a suit of armor and guest guitar. Brian also thought of many little hospitality details that made our stay all the better, including a custom made handbook and a starter-pack of Shiner Bock. We highly recommend Bryan and his adorable bungalow. "
8220727,45914200,2015-09-06,17604465,David,"Nice place, awesome location, and Margaux was very accommodating when we made a last minute booking. Could have used more towels as there were three of us, so you may want to bring one of your own. "
8220727,47939244,2015-09-21,37719320,Daniel,We had a cancellation at another place and needed a rental property in Austin at the very last minute. Margaux was so fast and provided such great hospitality that we were happy that it happened. The unit is perfectly located downtown and is walking distance to so many great places. It's clean and comfortable and a great bargain for anyone looking to visit Austin. Highly recommended!
8220727,48444431,2015-09-26,43957726,Jason,"This unit was fantastic.  The apartment was fully furnished with a single bed, non pull out couch, big screen LED TV, fridge, range and microwave.  Also full laundry services.

I had one minor issue which the super took care of in a flash! 
Communication was constant and easy.  I look forward to staying there atain.
"
8220727,48661152,2015-09-27,15939904,Jane,Had a wonderful stay and will definitely be staying here again!
8220727,52877933,2015-11-02,6772092,Christopher,The Burgdale was an excellent choice for our stay in Austin. It was comfortable and in a great location. Margaux was an excellent host.
623740,2549061,2012-10-08,3109476,Kyle,Don and Sylvia are such friendly hosts. They gave us great recommendations on Austin's attraction. Their home is beautiful and I would definitely come back in the future.
623740,2908374,2012-11-18,3958086,Lyn,Don & Sylvia were wonderful hosts and have a beautiful place. Calvin's wagging tail made me feel right at home! The bedroom was cozy and the bed was VERY comfortable.  I had a great time in Austin and would definitely  stay with them again. I really appreciated their hospitality!
623740,3679786,2013-03-03,5180081,Fr.,"Don and Sylvia have provided a quiet, comfortable, and reasonably priced accommodation, especially suited for those who need something south of the river in Austin.The decor and maintenance of the property is excellent. Their dog Calvin is sweet tempered and quiet. When we visit Austin in the future, this is where we will land."
623740,3773240,2013-03-13,4963638,Zach,"Very nice hosts, everything was as advertised. I couldn't have asked for a better first Airbnb experience! Don even gave me a ride to the convention center one morning for my work. A+ all around."
623740,3956523,2013-03-30,5180081,Fr.,"Stayed here three weeks before, and this was a second visit, based on our good experience with the first visit. Everything was clean, efficient, quiet, and comfy. Calvin the dog seemed to remember that I know all the good places to scratch. When we visit our children in the future (they occupy very small apartments), Don and Sylvia's place is at the top of our list when we check for accommodations."
623740,3969761,2013-03-31,5180081,Fr.,"This reservation was a one-night extension of the previous reservation. See earlier reviews for this property; my opinions there are the same -- everyting was primo!

I'm adding a separate review here simply to note the ease with which such extensions are made in Airbnb. I had alerted my host of my possible extension, and he knew such was likely.  Accomplising the reservation and payment was just a matter of a few mouse clicks, just as making the original reservation was!

My personal tip: make your Airbnb reservation for the ~shortest~ duration you are confident of. That way, you avoid the hassle and cost of cancellation of a night or two that you turn out not to need.  Adding additional nights is a breeze."
623740,10848422,2014-03-10,5405749,John,"Don & Sylvia are the hosts that define the best that AirBnB has to offer! I had such a wonderful time staying with them. Their house, and the room I stayed in, is beautiful, well-maintained, comfortable, and frankly should be featured in Architectural Digest. They went out of their way to ensure I had what I needed throughout my stay. I plan on using them every time I am in Austin and will recommend them to everyone I know."
623740,11009891,2014-03-17,12010935,Chris,"I stayed with Don and Sylvia for SXSW this year. Spacious accommodations, comfy bed, clean bathroom and gracious hosts! All in all it was was a wonderful stay in a lovely home, would definitely recommend! "
623740,12755322,2014-05-10,12242513,Rene,"This was a great place to stay.  It is in a wonderful neighborhood close to everything and minutes from downtown.  Don and Sylvia were warm hosts that made us feel very welcome.  Their home and accommodations were beautiful, luxurious and clean.  I would recommend this stay again and again.  We hope to stay there again in the future."
623740,21292641,2014-10-14,16756374,Meagan,A great first air bnb experience! The house&room were beautiful and very spacious. Don and Sylvia were very accommodating.  I definitely would recommend to stay here!
623740,22408174,2014-11-05,17015851,Peter,"I had a wonderful time with Don and Sylvia, and Calvin their dog.
Don and Sylvia couldn't have been more helpful with places to see in and around Austin and how to get around. I had a car, however the bus was only a couple of blocks away.
Staying with Don and Sylvia was very comfortable which made it a very easy time in Austin.
Their home is quite new and my room was extremely comfortable and private. Loved the pillows!
I really enjoyed my stay in Austin in good part because of the easy going nature and accommodations of my hosts.
I would not hesitate to recommend Don and Sylvia to anyone requiring this type of accommodation.
Many Thanks Don and Sylvia.
Peter
"
623740,49708783,2015-10-05,44797916,Tonia,"Don and Sylvia are kind. They introduced some restaurants and spot for us to experience. Importantly, the room they provided is extremely comfortable. They prepare life's necessities completely. They offer every necessity that you can think.
Moreover, there are two dogs in their house. They are adorable and friendly. They do not bite people.
My friend and I enjoy living in Don's and Sylvia's house. It is a good choice to live when travel in Austin."
2472398,10929140,2014-03-13,3773969,Garett,"I stayed at Cori and Gunnar's Austin bungalow during SXSW and they are fine hosts with a comfortable home. I am picky when it come to cleanliness and decor. Their place scored well on both accounts. The one bedroom home was on a quiet street just outside downtown Austin, but close enough to walk within a half hour. The house was like a one bedroom country cabin. They went out of their way to make sure there was wifi. No cable though, and the WiFi wasn't quite strong enough to stream from the Web over a Chromecast. A fresh package of coffee and bottle of wine was a nice touch. All in all a good stay."
2472398,11416721,2014-04-01,323761,Rachael,"Cori and Gunnar were wonderful hosts. Their cottage was so charming and a perfect little home for our Austin trip.

The location was great! We walked to s. Congress and s. 1st street for good food and record shopping (Thanks for the recommendation Gunnar). The river is close by with a good pedestrian walkway to get you to downtown. AND the nearest b-cycle station within a very reasonable and pleasant walk. 

The cottage is nicely appointed with very nice linens and the bed was great! The kitchen has the potential for some legit cooking - gas stove, le creuset pans, full fridge. sigh, I was sad to go :)"
2472398,11809251,2014-04-15,13422446,Milena,"Fantastic experience! The cottage is tucked away in the adorable Bouldin Creek neighborhood. It was well-kept, charmingly cozy (looks *just* like the photographs), and SUPER close (10-30 minutes walking distance) to everything you could want to see in Austin, both downtown or SoCo area. We did not have a car and found it was no problem at all (the ride from the airport is only about 20 minutes as well - so the cab fare is not costly either) - there are small convenience and drug stores close-by for the little things you might need. We also walked to the Torchy's trailer location almost every day. We also hit up The Driskill and surrounding downtown area, Sugar Mama's, South Congress Cafe, Jo's, Continental Club, and even Curra's, all by foot. I would highly recommend staying at this location if you like a quiet retreat with easy access to the best of Austin. While we never needed to call on Cori while we were there, she was always prompt and friendly with any communications leading up to our visit. "
2472398,19974066,2014-09-21,7158544,Michelle,"Cori was super responsive and helpful. The house was stocked with really great products and necessities. Really great tea and even a bottle of wine! This home was  such a treat in that it was built in the 1930's (I think), but is very, very well maintained and ADORABLE. Also, the vintage furniture is super cute! Location puts you between S. 1st bridge and Lamar bridge which I liked as we were in a great location to explore so many different neighborhoods of Austin."
2472398,21907531,2014-10-26,22383269,Jana,"Loved staying at Cori's adorable bungalow!  The neighborhood was fantastic, close to all the restaurants/shops around downtown, South Congress, etc.  Checking in and out was a breeze and the house was stocked with everything we needed...the chilled filtered water in the fridge was a plus!  Can't wait to come back next time we are in Austin.  "
2472398,22598973,2014-11-10,6688995,Bev,We had an awesome time at the bungalow! It was a very convenient location for the festivities at Auditorium Shores and everything else we wanted to do in Austin! Perfect size! Great communication!
2472398,24867672,2015-01-03,674867,Brittani,"Cori was easy to be in touch with and prompt with any questions that I arose when I was in town. The bungalow is cozy and roomy at the same time, with ample cooking space, a great sofa to hang out on, and a very peaceful bedroom."
2472398,25692351,2015-01-23,21539675,Melina,"The cottage was absolutely beautiful - very shabby chic but will all the modern conveniences. I went on many a jaunt to the hike and bike trail, which was within easy walking distance, and parking was a breeze. A beautiful glimpse of Austin!"
2472398,26608352,2015-02-16,7631893,Andrea,"I always like staying in a neighborhood rather than a hotel, and sometimes this works out better than at other times.  Cori's place was one of the better neighborhoods, in terms of food, walkability, and safety.  We able to walk easily to downtown, South Congress St, and only of my favorite new finds, ABGB (Austin Beer Garden and Brewery).  The space itself was simple and clean, and Cori was thoughtful enough to leave us some Topo Chico in the fridge and a bottles of wine. "
2472398,27015124,2015-02-23,17864771,Matthias,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin. This adorable Bungalow was just as pictured, if not cuter. The bed was super comfortable and the living room was nice to hang out in too. The bathroom was probably my favorite room, with an awesome showerhead, adorable sink, and beautiful decor. The location was also great--we mostly walked (about 10 mins to 1st street, 15-20 to South Congress, about 30-45 to 6th street area. This would also be a great place to stay if you want to see the bats as it is close to the bridge and the park. When we got tired we took Ubers, which were $15 maximum from our furthest destination (UT Austin campus). This is in a super cute neighborhood that also gave us a look at a slightly different side of Austin (neighborhoody, families, mixes of fancier bigger houses and cute smaller ones) than we would've seen if we'd stayed in an apartment in central downtown. If you choose to stay here we LOVED the Bouldin Creek Cafe for brunch, which was about a 20 minute walk down first street. Don't hesitate to stay here!!!"
2472398,27292389,2015-03-01,202114,Natalija,"Everything was super easy with this rental. No complications! Gracious host, nice and comfy linens, adorable house with lots of character, had all the amenities we needed. The only thing that would have made it a better experience is if we had a car. The walk to fun stuff is not super far but not super close either (especially in bad weather). Ubers in Austin are cheap though! We managed to get around that way just fine."
2472398,28309114,2015-03-22,26757426,Max,"I had a great experience Cori's place. It was clean and in a perfect location!
Thanks Cori!"
2472398,29638961,2015-04-10,1871955,Aziza,"We had a lovely stay in Cori's home. It's in a great neighborhood, super close to Lady Bird Lake running trails, markets and South Congress. We rented a car, which was convenient to get over to the east side from the house, but you could probably get away without one if you're hanging mostly on South Congress and downtown. The house was tastefully furnished, a nice mix of modern and traditional. It was well lit, (natural and with lamps) and had lots of windows. The sofa was comfy and kitchen well stocked. We slept very well on the bed and had great showers in the lovely wood paneled bathroom. The house was perfect for our stay in Austin. We didn't get to meet Cori but she left a bottle of wine and coffee which was great. We needed an iron and she brought one right over which was much appreciated! I highly recommend this home and host! Thanks so much Cori! "
2472398,29744613,2015-04-12,1726087,Elizabeth,"Lovely little cottage in a great location - very close to South Congress and 1st Avenue, and also within walking distance of 6th Avenue downtown. 

Check in and check out process was very simple. 

One negative however, the bed was extremely uncomfortable - and I'm not usually fussy about beds. This one though has big sags where people's bodies over time have obviously depressed the mattress over time and made for a very uncomfortable sleep.  "
2472398,30808745,2015-04-27,11475458,Drew,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cori's bungalow.  The house was close to a lot of things we wanted to do and getting to downtown via Uber was cheap.  The neighborhood is quiet and though we didn't spend much time at the house itself, it suited our needs well.  We had little contact with Cori but she answered my questions promptly and provided all information necessary.  Thank you!"
2472398,31074931,2015-05-01,26763569,Christopher,Cori's house was cute and comfortable! An object of simplicity and a bit of a time capsule. Great location. I enjoyed my stay quite a bit!
2472398,31323471,2015-05-04,14384697,Megan,"Cori was so helpful, friendly & quick to respond. The house feels like quintissential Austin & the neighborhood is so beautiful & unique. I loved being there!"
2472398,32901971,2015-05-23,245398,Keenan,The place was beautiful and better than we imagined! Super close to tons of awesome restaurants and things to do while still being in a nice quiet neighborhood. Would definitely stay again! 
2472398,34339644,2015-06-07,17051273,James,"We were made to feel quite welcome, including detailed arrival instructions which were just perfect.  The AC was on and after a long hot drive, the cool welcome felt great.

This is a cozy, modest but well set out Austin bungalow, within walking distance of the park and river.  We used it as a home base for a delightful weekend."
2472398,35313887,2015-06-17,23192488,Jennifer,"The bungalow is on a quiet street with easy parking, and a city bike stall within walking distance. The bed is comfortable and there is a television in the house (just not pictured). I did not meet Cori, but she responded to my inquiry about checking in within a day, and kindly left a bottle of wine and water. Recommended for a single person or couple who wants a retreat in a residential neighborhood."
2472398,39879578,2015-07-26,15149852,Patricia,"Cori brought a fresh flowering plant for the front porch!
The house was clean and ready to go!
"
2472398,46213533,2015-09-08,4930393,Christopher,"Cori was a great host. Easy check-in and check-out and stayed out of our way. The place was clean, centrally located and nice and cool. And their was wine in the fridge to boot. Would stay again 10/10."
2472398,47429654,2015-09-18,8189438,Ellie,What a cute house! Exactly as described and in an awesome neighborhood. I enjoyed my stay and recommend to anyone looking for a centrally located spot with a true Austin vibe. 
2472398,47797256,2015-09-21,1665793,P J,"Best thing about this place is its location:  great neighborhood and easy access to everything. I've stayed in many Airbnb properties both in the US and abroad, but this one was a huge disappointment. From the outside, the property has a very run down appearance, the walkway and step up to the cottage is moldy with old and dirty wicker chairs, and there is an old car gathering leaves and pollen parked in the driveway. Inside: the bathroom shower curtain was dirty, cobwebs hung from the bedroom ceiling, none of the windows had locks on them (just bumpers to prevent someone from sliding them up more than 3 or 4 inches), and there was barely a dish in the kitchen that wasn't chipped. One drinking glass was provided for beverages, and even that was dirty. The place has huge potential but really should not be rented to guests. (I took photos of it all in case anyone disputes my review posted here.) The place is advertised as air conditioned, but only the bedroom has a window unit - which worked well, but wasn't powerful enough to also cool down the adjacent living room. Top it off, the wifi connection was weak and spotty ..... all I needed was to access my work email or pull up mapquest to view local attractions in order to plan my stay in Austin. I am not a fussy traveler; I've traveled all over the world and enjoyed every kind of accommodation imaginable. But this ""rustic"" place is really ""dilapidated"" and needs much attention. Hate leaving a review like this, but felt there was no alternative."
2472398,48650824,2015-09-27,37380066,Stephen,"Very sweet comfortable, well furnished bungalow in a quiet neighbourhood.  "
2472398,50482563,2015-10-12,1189530,Helen,"i didn't get to meet cori, but she was nice enough to provide us w/ a cold bottle of water and a bottle of wine upon our arrival.  she left us the key, and we were able to get in w/o a hitch.  the house could have been a little cleaner, but otherwise, it was fine.  the bathroom was great and had lovely soap and towels, and the bed was comfy.  the a/c unit in the bedroom was a bit loud, so it was a bit hard to sleep at night.  "
2472398,51843825,2015-10-24,46844973,Karen,Perfect place for 1-2 people.  Nice walk to lots of shops and restaurants.  The place was clean and comfortable.  Host made logistics a breeze.
3369102,31600550,2015-05-07,31598254,Molly,"We really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was neat. The house was clean and in good working order, just as described on airbnb. Ric was easy to get a hold of; we contacted him about 45 minutes prior to check-in to see if we could get in a bit earlier (since coming from out of town with two children under 5 isn't easy) -- he said no problem. There was definitely a high level of professionalism and attention to detail put into this listing.  We would definitely stay here again. "
644773,2560188,2012-10-09,3451801,Jamie,"Simon and Sylvia are absolutely fabulous hosts.  I felt so very welcome and comfortable.  My stay initially was a month, and i couldn't have  hoped for a more spacious and lovely place to cook, work, and relax.  I just re-booked for two more weeks!  I can't recommend this place enough...visit, when I have checked out hahaha."
644773,2863669,2012-11-12,1459197,Denise,"I was looking for a quiet place in Austin to rest and have some solitude for 10 days.  Simon was easy to communicate with and accommodating with my needs and requests.  

The Guest House was exactly what I was wanting and needing. It was easy to get to, yet seemed worlds away from the buzz of Austin.  I appreciated its cleanliness and beautiful simplicity.  The bed was very comfortable and inviting.  I cooked all of my meals and the kitchen was stocked perfectly - just enough equipment to get the job done.  Just as Simon had told me, I only heard an occasional barking dog and a passing car.  The rest of the time I got to enjoy the sound of the wind moving through the trees.  

I highly recommend the Guest House!  "
644773,2926438,2012-11-20,827528,Meda,"My husband and I were in town for the inaugural F1 race and Simon’s adobe was the ideal getaway after a long day at the track! The place is spacious and clean, and the amount of natural light makes it even more welcoming and homey. Simon is a gracious host, very friendly and helpful (the Austin Amber was the cherry on top, thanks Simon!) We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will not hesitate to come back."
644773,2979803,2012-11-27,3913433,Amanda,"Simon & Sylvia are helpful hosts. They left for a trip while we were there, but were still available via phone or text for questions and concerns. Plenty of towels and linens were stocked, and the kitchen is fully equipped with some items in the cupboards to start your stay. The photos are a perfect representation of the house. 
The house is situated behind and to the side of the main house, so privacy is plenty. Property itself is beautiful, but a bit out of the way. If you're wanting to stay right in the middle of Austin, it's not for you. We wanted to escape a little so this was perfect. Watch out for deer at night! Cats/dogs on premises are friendly enough. "
644773,3138663,2012-12-23,1301362,Lindsay,"First of all, the guesthouse was amazing. It was well equipped and beautiful with every amenity that we needed - including soft sheets and a big bag of local tortilla chips awaiting us. :) The house is really sunny and it was such an awesome place to wake up in the morning - quiet, warm, with the huge porch to lounge on and drink coffee. 
Simon and Sylvia were perfect hosts, they were attentive and thoughful, and addressed any questions promptly. Their cat Welly and dog Molly were wonderful additions to the homey feeling of the place, gretting us with meows and stumpy tail wags. 
We had such a great time at the guest house - thank you for everything! We miss you guys already! "
644773,3197252,2012-12-31,4179963,Diane,"Just wanted to leave a note to say how nice my stay was at El's Place.  Simon and his wife left to go out of town the day I arrived and we were unable to meet in person  - we chatted a few times on the phone and he was very kind, personable and helpful.  I rated my overall experience with 4 out of 5 stars only because the weather took a turn for the cold (actually freezing at night) and I didn't get to enjoy relaxing on the beautiful front porch enjoying the Hill County air like I wished, but inside was cozy and warm.  The house was very clean, enormous well stocked kitchen & bathroom and the bedroom was very cute.  On a warm Spring day you could open the patio doors in the bedroom that step out to the porch and take a nice breezy nap.  Just to note: I was alone on my trip for relaxation from my chaotic Houston life but Simon's little paradise is large enough for a family with 2 children - there is a day trundle bed in the living room for the little ones.  Oh, forgot to mention the herd of deer that stopped by in the mornings at dawn to say hello, smiles!

Thank you Simon, :^)
Hopefully be back early late Spring or early Summer,
Diane"
644773,3253510,2013-01-03,4412761,Gerald,"Simon went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable stay, evening going to the extent of making special requested arrangements. The space was beautiful, spacious, well furnished and comfortable.  The pictures really don't give the experience justice.

If you've stumbled upon this guest house, give it serious consideration I guarantee you won't be disappointed, it definitely exceeded my already high expectations. Happy travels! - Gerald "
644773,3323507,2013-01-10,214646,Toshi,I had a great stay and would definitely go back.
644773,3351276,2013-01-15,4184856,LeRoy,"The Southwestern Adobe Guest House was exactly as advertised! Simon and his wife made my wife and me feel like friends from the moment we arrived. We were so busy it was unfortunate we didn't have more time to spend with them. But sweet Molly, the dog, was around and always willing to let us pet her!
I especially liked the setting.  It felt as though we were out in the middle of the woods, but we weren't. My wife loves to cook and certainly enjoyed the full kitchen.  The natural light was abundant and the bed was comfortable, too.
Thank you!"
644773,3405532,2013-01-24,4096564,Judy,"My husband and I stayed at the adobe style cottage for 4 nights while visiting our son in West Austin. Simon's guesthouse was absolutely fabulous and nicely situated off of Bee Caves Rd.  It is 20-30 minutes west of downtown, depending on traffic.  The property is very quiet, with  rustic landscape and trees. The cottage is light- filled and comes with access to a very happy dog named Molly who likes to visit. The cottage, originally built as an artists' studio was well-furnished and charming. Everything was beyond our expectations, from the fully furnished kitchen, to the comfort of the bed. It was very very clean.  The porch was awesome for relaxing and very private. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even those with kids because it had a day bed/with trundle. We can't wait to return.

Definitely wonderful because the hosts were accommodating and everything was as advertised."
644773,3666626,2013-03-02,4285282,Sandi,"My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and the place was simply amazing. The guest house had all the appeal of our own home and more. It had a charm all of its own that was undeniable from the second you walked in. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen area as well as the windows in the home. Everything was perfect! If you are considering this guest home, you will not be disappointed. "
644773,3789704,2013-03-15,4561290,Dan,"This guest house might just be the hidden jewel of Austin Airbnb listings. It's incredibly sunny during the day and way more spacious than the photos imply - there's even a dining table in the kitchen! We had a fantastic time, and our only sadness was that the calendar was full for bookings after our visit so we couldn't immediately book another stay."
644773,3852147,2013-03-21,1392596,Sarah And Jeff,"Simon's place couldn't have been more perfect. My wife and I visited Austin to attend South by Southwest and do some sightseeing around the Texas Hill Country. It was the perfect vacation retreat for us, close enough to Austin to give us easy driving access to restaurants, concerts, and boutiques, yet far enough away to enjoy quiet starlit nights on cozy reclining chairs set up on a giant porch that looks out on a fig tree, prickly pear cactus, and lovely landscaped space decorated with clay sculptures, tile mosaics and other attractive works of folk art. Simon and his wife are kind, gracious, responsive, witty, and easy going, and we enjoyed several warm conversations during our visit. The place was large and spotlessly clean, with a well-furnished kitchen for cooking and skylights that keep the living space bright and airy. Simon even left us a complimentary six pack of Modelos, chips and salsa, and a couple slices of pie when we arrived----a great welcome to kick off a wonderful SXSW adventure. We were saddened to have to leave, and can't wait to come back. "
644773,4481241,2013-05-07,3752370,Andrea,"This place is amazing and such a great getaway especially if you're coming from a city like New York.  It is a quick drive into downtown, but just far enough away to enjoy nature and the hills.  Simon and his wife were great - so accommodating, nice and interesting to talk to!  The place was spotless and had everything we needed to cook!  We definitely hope to return here! Thanks again, Simon!"
644773,13568500,2014-05-31,4460354,Andy,"Great host. Great spot. It was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Great place to stay for a month."
644773,13765735,2014-06-03,8403307,Mario,"We had a great time in Simon's Southwestern Adobe House. Simon was personable and nice, he also responded to our phone calls immediately. The place was clean and very nice, you get a lot of house for your money! With our rented car we moved easily to everywhere with the amazing roads that you find in Austin, Texas. He suggested to go to Rudy's Bar-b-q and it was a very nice experience I recommend you to do as well. At the house through the kitchen windows we got to see three deer that made our experience very unique since we are from the city. Totally recommend this place to anyone! "
644773,15142422,2014-07-03,15900582,Janis,"Simons place was quiet, roomy and comfortable. Would definitely stay again! Two thumbs up!"
644773,21278057,2014-10-14,17334530,Rebecca,"I had a great experience staying here. Simon and his wife are very gracious and helpful. The neighborhood is peaceful and friendly. I would often jog or take walks around the neighborhood, and I always felt very safe. The house itself is very clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here if you are needing a cozy place in Austin to land! "
644773,23294777,2014-11-28,22441964,Meagan,"Simon was a wonderful host, making sure we felt welcome every step of the way. The space itself was wonderful. It was big enough for our baby to run around and had several flexible sleep options. The porch is lovely;  I only wish it was warmer so that we could have had full advantage.  There is no cable, but wireless and roku access. We were very comfortable band would stay here again. Highly recommended! "
644773,27194469,2015-02-28,15417922,Karen,We felt welcomed by our host having a good supply of staples in the cupboard and some things in refrigerator.  Our host came to visit us soon after we moved in and wanted to know if there was anything we needed.  He made a few needed repairs in a short time.  Our host helped set up wifi for iPad and computer.  
644773,28082154,2015-03-17,6662803,Jen,"We were in town for SXSW and Simon's guest house was the perfect getaway from the bustle and excitement of downtown mid festival. During traffic it was a 20ish minute drive into downtown, and with no traffic it only took about 15 minutes to get home at night. 

The space was clean and Simon was a great host. He met us upon arrival, gave us advice about routes and restaurants, and even left us with a bottle of wine, a box of cookies, and a fancy chocolate bar. 

I would definitely stay here again when visiting the Austin area. It really was a quite and beautiful neighborhood."
644773,29047511,2015-04-03,9345603,Leslie,"The adobe house was delightful, comfortable, sparkling clean, charmingly decorated, with very well equipped kitchen and bath. The location was peaceful and convenient to all that Austin and Texas Hill Country offer. We loved sitting on the big porch and enjoying the beautiful Texas spring weather. Simon was very helpful and gave us lots of good tips for making the most of our first stay in Austin. Wonderful!"
644773,29572963,2015-04-09,3792922,Daniela,Staying here at Simons was an amazing experience. The place is beautiful and picturesque nestled in the trees with lovely flowers and cactus around it. It was peaceful and only about 20 min from downtown by car making it easy to see all that Austin has to offer and still having a peaceful space to kick back after a long day. Simon was easy to get in contact with for all our questions and was a wonderful host who I would definitely recommend to others! This was my first experience in Austin and with using airbnb and it definitely exceeded expectations! 
644773,39000809,2015-07-20,32510813,Donna,"
The adobe house was delightful, even on the warmest Austin days!  Clean, bright and sunny, spacious, well equipped and charming.  The setting is peaceful, and only a few miles away from shopping and easy access to downtown.  Simon and his wife were most welcoming.  I had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend!"
644773,42881885,2015-08-16,37685218,John,"Simon was very friendly and fun to talk to. The cottage is excellent. The rooms are all nice size and clean. We stayed when it was 105 degrees in August and the A/C kept us cool. The beds are very comfortable, and the furnishings thru out are very good. The main bedroom is private. Bath and good shower with lot's of hot water. The kitchen is large and well equipped with large full size fridge and stove, plus microwave and coffee maker. Private parking 10 feet from the door. We stayed a week and having so much room and a nice kitchen makes a big difference when you stay that long. We will book it again."
644773,48704133,2015-09-28,39326731,Maryfrances,"Such a pleasant environment tucked back from the main house & road.
The guesthouse was bright & cheerful flooded with natural light."
644773,50579507,2015-10-12,191466,Ken,"Simon and his wife made everything very easy for us. 

The guest house was immaculate and the open space, high ceilings and pristine white walls filled the rooms with light. The full kitchen with a lot of the necessary equipment made it very easy for us to cook meals for ourselves and relax rather than run around and compete with crowds during the ACL weekend (which we weren't attending). The beds were very comfortable and the bedding was tasteful and pristine.

The neighborhood was cozy and close to plenty of shopping, hiking and parks. 

All the way around a great place for us to stay and we will definitely stay here again when it's available."
644773,51228640,2015-10-18,7458731,Esther,"Simon and Slyvie made us feel very welcomed even before we booked.  They were very inattentive to your questions and needs.  It was great being greeted with some cold beers and sparkling water after driving 3 hours from Austin.  The house is in a quite and very peaceful location. The pictures are an understatement, the house looks even better in person.  It is very spacious with lots of natural light.  

This was one of our best experience booking an entire through Airbnb.  We would highly recommend Simon's place to anyone. Thank you again guys for letting us enjoy your awesome home.

Esther and Ed"
644773,52047882,2015-10-26,7525505,Daniel,"The property is outstanding, and Simon is a friendly and generous host. The Adobe house is charming, lovely and clearly well thought out. It is a large space and very comfortable. We adored all the beautiful local items inside and the furnishings were warm and attractive. The bath is super. We liked that it's 15 or so minutes from downtown. It was my first trip to Texas and we didn't want to feel like we were just in another city. There is wildlife. Deer were around to send us off and welcome us back. 
Simon was wonderful to chat with. And, he gave us total privacy. It was a delightful stay. I cannot recommend it enough."
5370183,28096008,2015-03-17,24068549,Andriy,"I was visiting Austin for SXSW and was glad to get a room at Kay's house. He is a very friendly and well organized guy. Kay gave me really good and thorough tips on where to eat, what breakfast place opens early, and which pub has best beers. He even joined me for a beer one of the nights I stayed there. Whenever it was on his way he offered to drop me off.  Description of the place was accurate. This neighborhood is pretty quiet and close to main highway (just $7-$10 Lyft ride downtown).  Several good and affordable restaurants in 5 min walking distance were fun to have dinner and/or spend late evening at. Would definitely stay at his place next time I'm in town."
5370183,28275393,2015-03-21,16279451,Amanda,"Kay and Scout were delightful hosts and made me feel very welcome.  My room was very clean and nicely decorated; I liked the armoire in particular.  

Kay made excellent recommendations for local restaurants, many of which are just down the street.  I ended up riding my bike into the downtown area, usually taking about 20-25 minutes.    

It was a lovely neighborhood and I felt safe the entire time.   "
5370183,48778620,2015-09-28,43647254,Valera,"Kay is a great host! Intelligent and kind. He will provide you with everything you need for a relaxing and trouble-free stay in Austin. We stayed with him for 5 days and I regret for not staying longer. Next year, perhaps. Highly recommended!"
5370183,50296857,2015-10-11,3397266,Stephanie,"Kay was easy to communicate with and flexible. He and his daughter were friendly and welcoming. The house is a short walk from some really nice restaurants and bars, Kay knows the good ones. There are several bus options for getting to and from downtown within a 10 min walk.  The family pets were also very welcoming :) "
5370183,51938949,2015-10-25,45086923,Hollie,Kay was very welcoming and spent a lot of time telling me about things to see and do during my visit in Austin and the surrounding area.  We also enjoyed a glass of wine each night.  I was in Austin to visit with my daughter at UT.  The location was within a mile of campus which made it very convenient for constantly running back and forth to get to the parents weekend events.  Thank you Kay.
7348932,42494741,2015-08-13,1782700,Peter,"Jen is a fantastic host! Her house was the best location for my friends and I to explore Austin. Super centrally located, we were able to walk everywhere: Downtown, South Congress, South 1st, Barton Springs and Zilker. The house is spacious and feels very homey. It's in a peaceful neighborhood which was nice after a full day of activity. Thanks Jen!"
7348932,43010269,2015-08-16,41481064,Brittany,"This house was a fantastic place for me and my friends to stay. It's nice, clean, well decorated, and feels like home. 

The location is also amazing!! Close to everything and lots of places within walking distance. 

Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
7348932,51937858,2015-10-25,32236066,Chelsea,We loved staying at The Greenhouse! The location is perfect for a weekend in Austin. It is so close to SoCo and many other Austin hot spots. Jen gave a great list of suggested restaurants and activities which we really appreciated. The place was very clean and Jen was nice enough to leave us some refreshments. I would highly recommend staying here for an awesome time in Austin!
5406277,28341007,2015-03-22,1309438,Shawna And Ben,"We never had the pleasure of meeting Noah and his family but we were able to easily communicate with him through email, text or calls. He was always friendly and very helpful when we needed help or had any questions.  His listing is exactly how he describes. We had a very comfortable stay in his spacious home and he was able to accommodate our group (7 people) by putting out extra sleeping mattresses and linen for us. 

The house also has a large kitchen with all the main appliances, which came in handy when we wanted to eat a home cooked meal. The house basically had everything that we needed. We would definitely stay there again. 

A few notes on transportation:
- The bus stop is close to the house and gets you downtown
- We also had access to two of his bikes which was a convenient way to get around. 
- We also frequently used Car2Go - a car sharing service, and Lyft - which basically works like a taxi but will get to the house a lot faster than the taxi will (at least during the SXSW conference/festival).

1138151,7728103,2013-09-30,2151962,Jonathan And Pauline,Kristin and Ryan's place is great. It is just a walk away from Austin Java or Flipnotics for a tasty breakfast or a short drive to Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool for a refreshing dip. The house is clean and Ryan and Kristin were thoughtful and generous in sharing their kitchen with us. They made every effort to make our stay comfortable and convenient. Thanks Ryan and Kristin (and Cooper)!
1138151,8104061,2013-10-15,5786834,Caroline,"A total of three of us stayed at the Chandler's.  It was a perfect location for ACL Weekend.  It is about a 15ish walk from the festival, close enough to get their easily on foot and there are a ton of pedicabs around if you need an extra lift.  

The rooms were spotless and beautifully decorated.  Their dog cooper was precious.  We really enjoyed our stay."
1138151,8338183,2013-10-26,3996734,Joe,"Kristin and Ryan were great. Easy to communicate with and really friendly. I've stayed at many places through Airbnb and their home is one of the nicest! Great private bedroom and bath on the second floor. If you like dogs, you'll love their pooch. Has has lots of energy! "
1138151,8507784,2013-11-03,9356450,Heiko,Nice location. Friendly host. Would stay again.
1138151,8657189,2013-11-11,1371771,Amy,"Many thanks to Kristin and Ryan for their hospitality, warm welcome and especially comfortable bed/bedroom. Their home is adorably furnished, clean and quiet. After hours of practicing yoga at the yoga fest this weekend I enjoyed being able to come home, soak in the tub and sleep like a rock.

Their home is conveniently located in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin- just a few blocks south of Town Lake with the hike and bike trail within walking distance, great food spots,coffeehouses, the flagship Whole Foods Market, Zilker Park, SoCo, South 1st Street district, downtown and all the best Austin has to offer.

I greatly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend them for your next stay in Austin!

Thank you Kristen and Ryan (and Cooper). I wish you all the best with your new arrival too! ;)

1138151,8798959,2013-11-18,9828052,Zak," we had a last minute work trip come up and no other accommodations were available.
 so glad we found this as it was much better than other hotels could ever be.
 clean modern house in neat part of town with parking on the street that doesn't have much traffic, perfect.
 this was a great first experience for using Airbnb."
1138151,10905201,2014-03-12,12007315,Gary,"I stayed here for SXSW and it was perfect.  The room was nice and the bed was super comfy.  The neighborhood was nice and quiet but an easy walk to a bunch of great restaurants, coffeeshops, and bars.  There is a bus line that will take you straight into downtown, or just walk down to the river trail.

Thanks to Kristin and family for being great hosts."
319887,11019466,2014-03-17,1342637,Louis,"Great house to stay in Austin. Its clean, comfy and Jessica made everything possible to make us feel at home. She had bagels and coffee ready for us :)

I highly recommend staying there. Thanks Jessica"
319887,28127764,2015-03-18,705404,Matt,"This was a perfect crash pad for SXSW week. It was an OK walk and an easy ride to the convention center and 6th street, and slept two of us just fine. Thanks!"
3061020,13455979,2014-05-27,697605,Sebastian,"Marina was a very gracious host & it's a lovely house - great neighborhood, great location, very quiet and comfortable. "
3061020,14050646,2014-06-10,3382193,Ayn & Sebastian,Marina was a great hostess!  We really enjoyed our stay!
3061020,46040011,2015-09-07,42128388,Brittany,"We were heading to Austin for a ladies weekend and wanted to stay in a central, ideal location. When I saw how adorable Marina's place was on Airbnb I just knew this place was going to be perfect! Not only was her place adorable but it WAS absolutely perfect, the neighborhood was really nice and not once did any of us girls feel slightly nervous staying there alone. Not to mention that from the beginning Marina was considerate and accommodating to all of us (5 total) wanting to ensure we were really ok with one girl sleeping on the couch before we made the final confirmation. The place was so clean, she even laid out each our towels on our beds and everything we could possibly need she left for us along with an instruction sheet with additional information that made the weekend go even more smoothly. She was helpful with giving us information for restaurants and EXTREMELY responsive! I would highly recommend Marina's place to anyone! To be honest, none of us ladies wanted to leave! :) Thank you so much for helping make this weekend so special Marina!"
3061020,49626295,2015-10-05,32145279,Whitney,Wonderful apartment and such a cute area!  Perfect for our weekend at ACL and walking distance to some cafes and such in SoCo.  The apartment was all set up for us when we got there!  Had a great time at Marina's place :)
2392323,12316040,2014-04-28,4991948,Dan,"I had a great stay at Marcos'.  We talked film, the Red Sox, Airbnb, city politics, and all sorts of other subjects.  The house is comfortable and in a pleasant neighborhood with a grocery store and restaurants in walking distance, and comes with a great host!"
2392323,12434407,2014-05-02,3867835,Jessica,"Marcos was a fabulous host. He makes you feel at home right away, is generous, laid back and has been in Austin since the beginning so he'll gladly share his knowledge. And the location of the house is great. close to the laid back S1st neighborhood. When I come back to this great town, I will definitely stay here."
2392323,12599121,2014-05-05,14989895,Jessica,"Marcos greeted me with ice water and easy conversation. When I mentioned during our exchanges before my arrival that I drink coffee with whole milk, he made a point of picking up some whole milk for my breakfast coffee, which he leapt I ok brew freshly when I woke up. C
He couldn't be nicer, but he wasn't overbearing, either. I was pleased to find a comfortable bed and soft, clean towels. He even had mini toiletries on hand in case I had forgotten something. If I were to make any complaint at all, room was a bit dusty, but even as I am a neat freak, it didn't bother me; the important stuff - sheets, bedding, towels- were sparkling clean (if it can be said that linens sparkle?) I would definitely stay with Marcos again and recommend to anyone that they do the same. Location is great too - street parking is easy to find and it's close to down town. "
2392323,16162132,2014-07-22,11490426,Barbara,"Marcos was entirely welcoming and made sure that we knew that the house was ours to enjoy, including food, laundry, etc. The neighborhood is safe, filled with family homes, close to pretty much everything in south Austin and a quick shot to downtown, Zilker Park, the River Loop and anything else we thought of doing."
2392323,16440084,2014-07-27,13566004,Ellen,"Marcos was a great host - he was very friendly and open to chat, but respected privacy. I always felt very safe and comfortable, which was especially important to me as a single woman traveler. Marcos has lived in Austin for many years and was a great resource. The room and house were clean and comfortable, and Marcos had bottled water for me and extra toiletries in case I forgot any. The location was also very convenient, just a very short drive to South Congress Street, or a leisurely walk. One thing to know is that Marcos rents out other rooms as well, so there may be other renters in the house with you. This didn't bother me at all (the couple staying in the other room was very nice, and there were never any issues with sharing the bathroom or anything since we were all out of the house all day), but it might be a consideration for potential future renters. Overall, I would definitely recommend Marcos as a host. Great location, room, and host for a good price!  "
2392323,17983419,2014-08-19,2901421,Kim,"Wow, what can we say except this was one of the BEST Airbnb experiences we have had.  Immediately Mark made us feel welcome and at home.  He went way above and beyond - truly a wonderful, thoughtful host.  Mark is very easy going, and we really enjoyed talking to him about his experiences. The house is warm, clean and comfortable.  Again, Mark made sure we had everything we needed.  He let us use his bikes to get around, which enabled us to see all that Austin has to offer.  We hated to leave, because it felt like our time was too short to do all that we wanted in that great city!  Again, Mark is truly a wonderful host, a great person, and we feel that we have made a new friend for life!!!! "
2392323,18272286,2014-08-24,1597333,Julie,"Fabulous host! I really liked my desk, my private space, big room and convenient location. On my first night, Marcos told me to make it my home, as he wanted me to be as comfortable as possible. He has a very unique background as well. "
2392323,18605560,2014-08-28,20407018,Shaaheen,"Great host, great location. I stayed here for a few nights and loved it. Marcos is very open and accepted and hospitable. The room was clean and all necessities were provided for me. Thanks Marcos!"
2392323,18916958,2014-09-02,2536282,Lindsey,"Marcos is the reason why AirBnb is awesome and amazing. As a single lady traveler, I felt safe in his home and his neighborhood (which is walking distance to great shops, bars, restaurants, record stores, vintages stores, music joints, AND a 24-hour grocery store, AND major bus lines). I had an amazing time in Austin and I had a lovely place to rest my head at night. And a clean bathroom with toiletries to boot! Thanks, Marcos!"
2392323,19345875,2014-09-10,20212502,Tiyasa,Marcos is an awesome host! He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable and at home. His place is nice and cozy and he is the perfect host for anyone who is new to town. He has everything ready for his guests and does everything possible to help them out. 
2392323,19482097,2014-09-13,13039218,Darwin,"Marcos was wonderful: inviting, kind, and considerate.  He had a map ready for us of interesting places to visit, he made us feel amazingly welcome, and was so helpful.  One of the best places I've stayed!"
2392323,19646908,2014-09-15,20988729,Vicki,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and Marcos was a great host. He was welcoming from the first moment until we left. We were out and about most of the weekend, but felt right at home. Marcos made us coffee in the morning, stocking our room with water and granola bars, and even lent us rain jackets. A very thoughtful and kind host, would recommend!"
2392323,20352556,2014-09-28,19055601,Desiree,Marcos was very welcoming and space was ideal for checking out the UT campus and downtown area. I was able to walk pretty much everywhere from Marcos's place and he also offers $5 daily bike rentals which is great. Thanks Marcos!
2392323,21245462,2014-10-13,21933270,Candice,"Marcos was an incredible host. He was kind and welcomed us to his home very graciously. The neighborhood was beautiful and it was a nice walk to the metro bus stop. We had a great time in Austin and Marcos made that possible.  Thank you!
"
2392323,21444993,2014-10-17,8401208,Holly,"My experience staying with Marcos was just right.  Marcos is quite the thoughtful host.  He contacted me ahead of time to be sure he was around for my arrival.  He was available to answer any questions/chat or to just let me be. Getting in and out of his house was easy and the space I was given was more than adequate for my needs. 
The location of Marcos' house was key for my trip...very close to St. Edward's University.
I was traveling alone and felt very comfortable as a single woman staying with Marcos.  
Marcos was very hospitable and I would definitely reach out to him again should I need a place to stay in the area."
2392323,21636300,2014-10-20,22508863,Kathleen,"Marcos made me feel very welcome, and the location was perfect.  I also appreciated the opportunity to rent a bike, to have a desk in the room to use, and to have access to a lovely, clean kitchen. "
2392323,21815008,2014-10-24,6510257,Nick,"This was my first experience with Airbnb so I had no idea what to expect - but after this trip, I will definitely be using Airbnb more often. 

Upon arrival, Mark greeted me and gave me an introduction to his house and the city of Austin. He gave some great advice about what places to see and how to get around. 

He has bikes available for rental that are a great addition to the bike-friendly city of Austin. 

There was no detail that was left unnoticed by Mark. He has made his home a wonderful place to say for guests. I would definitely stay with Mark again in the future - his kindness goes unmatched. "
2392323,21998411,2014-10-27,3345296,Tony,"People! If you are looking for a great place to stay, with a really super-nice host, please, please, choose Marco (Marc) for your next trip to Austin. 

The house, on a quiet street just a block or two from S. Congress Ave, is just as described in his listing. Nice airy room, with dresser, desk and comfortable bed and plenty of fresh linens. I came prepared but Marc has a stock of toiletries on offer when you are in a pinch. 

Visitors have full run of the house and grounds in this little oasis just south of Austin's downtown. Easy to get to by highway or from the airport, the house feels like a home away from home. My only regret was not having the time to take Marc out for dinner while I was there. Marc (my brother from another mother) thanks for a good time and the great conversations. Will definately stay with you on my next visit to Austin."
2392323,22381938,2014-11-04,138775,Andy,"Marcos greeted me with a genuine warmth of hospitality that you just can't find in a hotel no matter how good. His place is cosy as advertised, impeccably clean and perfect as far as I'm concerned. It's not ritzy or glitzy but within a short while we were sat in the lounge chatting and this is worth a hundred Hiltons. He was very helpful in pointing out some of the spots for eating, coffee, or live music in the area.
I also rented a bike from Marcos - ideal transportation. I can't recommend this place highly enough. We'll be back next year.
Thanks Marcos"
2392323,22643102,2014-11-11,3365079,Eduardo,"Marcos was simply amazing. I have never felt so welcome in someone's home, through Airbnb or otherwise. He is an interesting man who is just as interested in what you have to say. My girlfriend and I absolutely loved it and would definitely consider booking this place again if it's available next time we are in Austin. 

The neighborhood is quiet and close enough to SoCo and South Lamar that my girlfriend and I were able to do everything without many issues. Definitely a convenient spot in terms of trying to get around.

The room was larger than I expected and the desk was definitely an added bonus. The bed was great, I was able to get some solid hours of sleep. The bathroom is stocked with travel toiletries in case you forget anything.

Overall, the experience was great and I had a real pleasure getting to know Marcos. Definitely book this place if you get the chance!"
2392323,23210963,2014-11-25,15149717,Jessica,Perfect location by South Congress and 1st Street. Right next to the bus stop to take the 10 across the river. The street is lovely and Safe. I walked a lot alone at night. Marcos was kind and friendly. He had a great map and sat me down right away to explain the lay out of the land. I felt like I had a friend in Austin! He even let me park in the driveway and moved his truck to street. Great stay! 
2392323,23599686,2014-12-06,22548749,Larry,"Marcos was an amazing host - I left his warm and comfortable home well rested and feeling as if I had made a friend. I was there for work, so he gave me the space and quiet that I needed to get my work done. He has definitely earned the highest rating possible - whenever I get back down to Austin, there is no doubt I will be staying there again..."
2392323,23734740,2014-12-08,23969644,William,"Marcos is beyond awesome. Great communicator, made me feel like a king, and honestly someone I would call a friend after hanging out and chatting for two nights. This is a cool guy who's had a really interesting life, so if you have the time, you should sit down and get to know him. The location is unbeatable, super clean, safe -- all in all for the money you can't do better. I cannot recommend Marcos enough, he's a real class act. "
2392323,24010803,2014-12-16,18977961,Christine,"I speded two days (three nights)  in Austin. All went perfect, all as described! I would say marcos is a professional host!  only two days in austin  and the location is in walking distance from music clubs and restaurants! I've seen good  concerts in the continental club and at c.boys. 
"
2392323,24215150,2014-12-22,1782702,Alyssa,"Marcos was an exceptionally welcoming and gracious host. I had a great time chatting with him and felt very comfortable in his home. Everything was very clean and I appreciated little extra details that Marcos provided- such as bottles of water and granola bars in the room, maps of the area, etc. I would definitely stay here again!! "
2392323,24549016,2014-12-30,24379962,Art,"Great experience. Marcos was super-welcoming and also super-helpful with advice and info about things to do, and he offers a fantastic location for experiencing south Austin."
2392323,25037044,2015-01-05,6258272,Lauren,"Marcos was fantastic! We really enjoyed this location, being just a short walk from the shops and restaurants and South Congress and a quick Uber (or bus ride, had we taken the time to look into that) ride home from the other parts of Downtown. Marcos kindly gave us a rundown of the area with a great map and recommendations when we arrived, and was there to help if we had questions but gave us enough privacy that we didn't feel at all uncomfortable staying there. I would definitely stay with Marcos when we return to Austin."
2392323,25418874,2015-01-15,25499763,Mark,"Marcos made the rental very easy. He was very accomodating as my plans changed while I was there. The room was sufficient and the house is in a good location. I was able to walk to most everything; restaurants, music venues, stores ect.  It is not the fanciest place but the price is right and so is the location. Thank you Marcos. "
2392323,25578370,2015-01-19,15009318,Geoffrey,Great host; space was great.
2392323,27104504,2015-02-25,5393423,Maria,"Stayed with Marcos for a week while in Austin for the annual juggling festival. Fantastic host, helpful and easy to talk to, very good quiet residential location within reasonable walking distance of many awesome shops and places to eat (like the Magnolia Cafe & Torchy's Tacos). Convenient grocery store just a few blocks away, 1st/Congress very close to cut over to and head north to the heart of downtown, there's also a couple nice parks and a superb microbrewery a short walk away. I even walked up to the Capitol building and university one day (a few miles, but takes less than an hour). Throughout the week we had some nice discussions about our interests (several common) and hobbies. Overall it was an excellent and comfortable experience, would definitely stay there again the next time I have the opportunity to travel to Austin."
2392323,28042682,2015-03-16,6043860,Andreas,"Very friendly, room fully prepared. Nice neighborhood."
2392323,28482352,2015-03-24,10991495,Dani,"Marcos was a great host. He's there if you need him but if you want to be secluded in privacy he gives you the space to do so. Marcos has bikes available for rent, lent me a helmet and his rain jacket when it started to downpour. The room is  great with a comfortable bed and a table perfect for working on the laptop. He offered clean towels, new toothbrushes and toothpaste. Overall recommended."
2392323,28959739,2015-04-01,27842883,Calvin,"I had an incredibly pleasant stay with Marcos. He gave me the warmest welcome and instantly made me feel at home. I could tell that he had hosted a lot of people before and really enjoys it as a lifestyle. The custom-made neighborhood map reflects his passion and care. In addition, I was glad to find several common topics that we both liked to talk about, and we watched a Spurs game together! His other guests were very nice people too. They were also exploring town, and one day bought wine to share with me. I had fun interacting with them and it was awesome to get to know people I'd normally not have the chance to meet.

The house is in a nice and quiet neighborhood, pretty close to both SoCo and S 1st, where there are lots of restaurants and other stores. I didn't really need a car during the stay, and it definitely saved me some money. On most mornings I woke up naturally to birds chirping, which was a very pleasant surprise.

Thanks Marcos for a great stay! I really appreciate your hospitality."
2392323,29346679,2015-04-06,2760203,Chris,"Marcus was a great and incredibly welcoming host.  We had some great conversations with him when there.  He has a fantastic knowledge of Austin and can tell you all the best places to go.  The room is spacious, a bargain, and fantasticly located.  Safe neighborhood.  His cat is awesome and so is he.  Only complaint we didn't stay long enough!   If you're debating where in Soco to stay, debate no more and book now!"
2392323,29907507,2015-04-14,604842,Peter,Marcos was an excellent host. Very friendly and accommodating. I had a great stay.
2392323,30864769,2015-04-28,27806376,Leandra,My stay with Marcos was wonderful. He was such a gracious host with lots of interesting stories to tell. Anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin should definitely consider rooming here!
2392323,31999173,2015-05-12,3695100,Shanna,Marcos is an A-1 host! He really made me feel welcome and his home is relaxed and comfortable. The neighborhood is very quaint South Austin and very convenient to everything. The bed was comfy with snacks and bottled water in the room. I would stay with Marcos again.
2392323,32636197,2015-05-19,10642720,Kara,"Marcos was an EXCELLENT host!  He was very accommodating and flexible to my late arrival and greeted me promptly at the door.  He immediately showed me around the house, made me feel right at home, and had maps of suggested places to eat, shop, and explore!  No lonely planet or yelp needed.  Marcos is super friendly and made my stay enjoyable and stress-free.  He had a variety of toiletries, towels, fresh linen, and a nice desk to work on (even provided me with aloe after I got some sun at Barton Springs).  His place is conveniently located close to all of the good shopping, restaurants, parks.  I pretty much walked everywhere and it was a quick bike ride to the springs.  I would definitely stay again when I am back in Austin!"
2392323,33038356,2015-05-24,29696287,Wenyun,Marcos is a great host very nice to talk to. We had some enjoyable conversation. The place is clean and organized. And the restaurants and food trucks closed to the neighborhood are really good. I really enjoyed the stay. Would definitely revisit when I get the chance!
2392323,33521475,2015-05-29,31998319,Jessica,"We had a great time staying with Marcos!  He was a great host and made us feel very comfortable during our first Airbnb stay. He was accommodating with our evening arrival and flexible with our check-out time. He made us feel at home right away! The room is spacious and quiet, and the bathroom and kitchen were always available to use without having to wait.  We enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the mornings - the neighborhood is pretty.  Marcos provided little things we might need (sunscreen, shampoo, etc.) and offered to let us use his umbrella when it rained - an awesome, friendly guy who also gave us our space.  The description of his place is accurate.  We were in easy walking distance of South Congress, and a few blocks from a grocery store which is convenient.  Great restaurants and shops in walking distance.  I would totally recommend staying here if you're not familiar with the city, since Marcos can provide great tips and it's in a location that's easy to navigate.  I would absolutely stay here again if I come back to Austin!  Two thumbs up! :)"
2392323,34476558,2015-06-08,33946937,David,"Marcos is a ridiculously good host. Very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable, the room was private, the house was clean, and the neighborhood is conveniently located."
2392323,35600209,2015-06-20,31845731,Steven,"Marcos was a great host, friendly and  always willing to help. Room was as described and pictured. He kept a few of the ""often forgotten products"" which I thought was a nice touch. The neighbourhood I found very convenient as I used the bus service into the city everyday. I look forward to my next trip to Austin and staying with Marcos.  "
2392323,35891600,2015-06-22,8537838,Rafael,"Marcos is a great host! The place is just as described, fairly basic but very cozy. I would definitely stay here again. It's about 2 miles from downtown which is a fair walk, but Marcos has bicycles available that make getting around really easy. He even gave me a ride to my next accommodation at the end of my stay!"
2392323,36594349,2015-06-29,35231066,Brett,"I was super nervous about trying airbnb for the first time, and Marcos really made it the most awesome experience for me.  He was super flexible on my arrival and departure times, had lots of great advice for area attractions, and was just downright personable and nice.  I hope every airbnb host I try after this is just like Marcos!  At LEAST a 10 out of 10 in my book!"
2392323,36830780,2015-07-01,27117001,E,"As far as I'm concerned, this is the only place to stay in Austin. Great neighbourhood and accommodating / Fantastic host!! 10 stars"

2392323,39088602,2015-07-20,24767029,Vincent,Marcos is a very personable host and knowledgeable about Austin and I would certainly stay at his home again.
2392323,39975378,2015-07-27,27221790,Michael,"Wow, what an awesome experience. Mark could not have been a more gracious host. We spent hours talking about Austin, music, Texas and Ohio State football and life in general. His house was very centrally located, only minutes from South Congress and South 1st Street. Mark suggested stopping by Cboys my first night and Jimmie Vaughn was there playing guitar. The room was perfect and Mark provided extra amenities such as toiletries, water and snacks. I fell in love with Austin on my trip and know Ill be back soon. I will definitely stay with Mark again when I come back. "

His house is in an ideal location with plenty to see and do, it is incredibly well maintained and makes for such a comfortable stay. Cannot recommend Marc or his place highly enough, a definite must stay for those looking to visit the beautiful city of Austin."
2392323,42045121,2015-08-10,15009318,Geoffrey,Great stay as always.
2392323,44206276,2015-08-24,40982899,Nicolas,"Marc is an exceptionnal host. Really. 
No matter if you're here for 2 or 12 nights, you'll feel at home as soon as you arrive; the bedroom is super comfortable, planty of spaces to store your clothes and belongings, and a very quiet neighbourhood.
Your host will tell you everything you have to know about Austin, its people, its restaurants, bars and stories! 
You'll be welcome with water bottles, snacks... you have access to a beautiful living room and a useful kitchen, + you'll find in the bathroom every item you may have forgotten to bring (from toothpaste to Qtips and razor blades).

During my stay, as an international student new to Austin, Marc really helped me a lot of time, driving me in town, helping me with many advices, and this is priceless!

Thank you Marc! Will recommand you to all my friends visiting Austin! :)"
2392323,44606515,2015-08-27,27080687,Greg And Sue,Mark made us feel extremely welcome.  He had iced water and a map of key things to do in Austin ready to go.  The description of the accommodation and location (which was excellent) were spot on. We would recommend others to stay.
2392323,46917200,2015-09-14,18085652,Ashley,Marcos made me feel welcome from the get-go! Great conversation and advice about the town. Thanks Marcos!
2392323,47507389,2015-09-19,13616331,Susie,"Marcos was an amazingly gracious and easygoing host. His place was comfortable and had everything I needed. 

Had heaps of information on the local area as well as maps and a glass of ice water for me at the door. "
2392323,47718598,2015-09-21,9402153,Matthew,"We had a great stay. The house was pretty typical of what you would find around Austin. It's in a great location near lots of shops and restaurants on Congress. It's also around the corner from the best Texas grocery store ever, HEB. The house was clean and quiet. Marcos was friendly and helpful whenever needed. Thanks!"
2392323,48459241,2015-09-26,38937226,Mark,"Marc was an excellent host!  The room and house were exactly as described, close to a lot of great places in Austin.  I wouldn't hesitate to book again."

2392323,49806317,2015-10-06,14984442,Amr,"Marc was a fantastic host! He met me and my girlfriend in person and made us feel very welcome. He had a map of the neighborhood, told us how to get around and gave us recommendation on places to go for food, groceries, live music, etc. Marc is also very friendly and very fun to talk to - being music lovers, we had a lot to chat about! The location was also fantastic, walking distance to Austin City Limits (if you are comfortable walking 2+ miles), lots of places to eat - food trucks, restaurants, etc, and a grocery shop right around the corner.

We only stayed for 4 nights, but we would happily stay with Marc again (and would have happily stayed longer if we did not have to go back)."
2392323,50785517,2015-10-14,45043224,Lorena,"I really liked staying at Marcos house, it's close to everything so you can walk yo a lot of places (if you don't mind the hot weather of course). "
2392323,51051183,2015-10-17,8266057,Melanie,Marcos was very warm and inviting.  Good communication before and during my stay.  The room is cozy and bed/pillows very comfortable.  The location is conveniently located in the SoCo neighborhood.  Easy walk around the neighborhood or just a few miles to Downtown.
2392323,52272883,2015-10-27,46584088,Hilton,Marcos was a great guy and i will be back.
452028,7698570,2013-09-30,259157,Dave,"This place is wonderful! A great location, quiet, friendly neighborhood close to good restaurants, taco joints and Patrizi's (fresh-made pasta). Also very close to the bus, which helped since we didn't have a car. The house was perfect, with a nice porch for relaxing, great kitchen and good-sized rooms. We got to use the bikes no problem and made ourselves at home for the week. Having a Washer/dryer was a bonus, so we didn't have to pack clothes for 10 days. Recommended for any trip to Austin."
452028,8740785,2013-11-15,374961,Kathryn,"I stayed here for two nights with my husband, my mother and our dog. The house is a very charming and tastefully decorated 1940's bungalow with a great layout. I used to live in Austin in the '90's in this very neighborhood and it is still my favorite. Quiet street with tons of character right off manor Rd. Erica and Elias were very prompt in returning email and phone inquiries and offered great advice and recommendations for restaurants, etc. I can honestly say that this is the best rental experience I have ever had. We all loved the house and look forward to staying here again if we have occasion to visit Austin."
452028,46047429,2015-09-07,16825697,Robyn,"Super clean, Everything within walking distance (food, entertainment, grocery store...everything I needed while away from home.  Great communication, fast and responsive.  WILL STAY HERE AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. Thank you for being awesome."
452028,47729483,2015-09-21,33696047,Martin,"We had a great time staying here.  Location was an easy 15 minute walk to the UofT campus and stadium, and there were plenty of very nice restaurants, coffee cafes, and bars within walking distance.  I would definitely consider staying here again on our next visit to town.  All the instructions on how to get into the house and how things worked were clear and concise."
452028,48463079,2015-09-26,7252913,Robert,"This place was awesome. Great location, big, and clean. Would highly recommend it to anyone going to Ausint."
452028,48789382,2015-09-28,43308199,Jordan,"This place was phenomenal! It was super clean and convincingly located. The neighborhood was quiet but walk down the street to Minor and you will find bars, restaurants and all the night life you could want. Highly recommend Haymakers for a low key place to grab a drink and catch a game. We were in town for the UT football game that weekend and the location was perfect for us to walk from the stadium.  It wasn't the closest to all the tailgating on the south west side of the stadium but a 5min Uber ride got us to were we needed to be. We felt safe in the neighborhood our entire stay and the house had everything I would want in a premium hotel  without a hefty price tag. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again in the future!"
452028,51620480,2015-10-22,11344839,Yvette,"We had a great experience in this house! It was cozy and charming located in a cute quiet safe neighborhood. It's minutes away from the university and from nearby bars and restaurants as well as a short uber ride away to other parts of Austin. Love the porch with the swing and chairs. Everything was clean and the beds were comfy, even the futon! Thanks for hosting us! Would definitely recommend this house! "
2310739,10905299,2014-03-12,11988859,Tim,"What an fantastic trip to SXSW, only made better by our hosts amazing hospitably and stunning home. 

Situated in a quiet and family friendly neighbourhood, the house offers plenty on space and lots of quirky features. Its stunning interior is comfortable and practical. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Tina was an attentive host and was happy to make our stay comfortable and easy. You can tell she really thought about her guests before they arrived. We really enjoyed all the fruit and welcome treats and the maps and magazines and books about Austin were very helpful.

Amenities were great and the towels there are the softest! "

846780,3791385,2013-03-15,805136,Julie,"This place is amazing! We have experienced a great amount of airbnb properties in the states as well as abroad and this was our fave. It's very clean and well thought out..we were able to feel at home by being in a wonderful, laid back neighborhood with many delicious and cool restaurants etc in walking distance. The home is well stocked with appliances (hence, being able to relax and hang on back patio with home made dinners :) and then some...very nice products exist thru out! And the LINENS are just awesome! The experience made my husband want to relocate to Austin! We will no longer need to look anywhere else in Austin for a place to stay. The San Hose hotel will now be a place we will pop in and out of for a drink :)..THANK YOU Tina..it was perfecto!"
846780,3992792,2013-04-01,5658024,Anita,"Love Tina's house! Super clean, wonderfully decorated, great location!  The house looks exactly like the photos.  We really enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend.

Tina is a delight!  Very helpful and friendly in providing advice and recommendations. Tina kindly stocked the bathroom and kitchen which was an added bonus.

The house has a lovely backyard and is very close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Only a short cab ride from down town.  A very safe and lovely area.

Great host!"
846780,4460677,2013-05-06,5792259,Kate,"My friends and I stayed here for a girls weekend and wanted to be close to everything. Tina's house was perfect! It's super close to downtown, it's close to Zilker Park and right by the South Lamar's Food Trucks for fun people watching & quick late night bites. Her house was comfortable & stylish. The decor is a nice mix of original 1940's style with a unique modern twist. We felt very at home because Tina provided everything we needed. The house had a more private feel than what we expected from looking at other houses in the neighborhood, it was super easy to find and we felt very safe staying there. It was a great weekend and I can't wait to go back again!!"
846780,4511135,2013-05-09,983295,George,Tina's cottage was perfect.  It's comfortable and clean yet has a distinct feel to it which enhances the experience.  She was a gracious host who took excellent care of me.  I'll definitely be staying here again when I head back to Austin.  Thanks Tina!

She was wonderfully hospitable and makes herself available to you if needed. She also welcomes any ideas or improvements on how she can make your visit and future visit's pleasant. 

The house itself was immaculate and Tina's special touches made both our late arrival and our stay throughout comfortable, relaxing and fun. It is a very charming house beautiful in both decor and restoration. Also, the neighborhood has the eclectic nature and originality of the Austin we miss and love.  

Thank you for everything Tina! We will definitely book again the next time we are in town!   

Kimen, Alex and Avery"

846780,7227203,2013-09-11,2298888,Pete,"Tina's cottage is perfect for getting around Austin. Me and my girlfriend visited during September and we had the most amazing time. The cottage is located just outside of the hustle and bustle of the city in a quiet neighbourhood, but it only takes 5 minutes in the car to reach the action.

The house was super clean and tidy and Tina was really friendly and accommodating. We also stayed right in the city but this was definitely our favourite place.

A few of our favourite places to eat:
Hopdoddy - The most amazing burgers ever - Get there early as the queues go out the door, even at lunch time!
Uchi - Amazing Sushi restaurant
Moonshine Bar & Grill - The best steaks in town
Homeslice Pizza - Be warned the large is absolutely huge!

out and about:
Barton Springs - Cool place to swim and chill in the sun
Stand up paddle boarding, Stratford Drive - Go left for a scenic route or right for views of the city
South Congress - Such a cool area with a great atmosphere in the evenings
Rainey Street - Some cool historic bungalows mixed in with bars and restaurants. Great place to start the evening during happy hour!

We will be coming back!
Pete & Katie

Tina was willing to show me the place before I made my decision. A comfortable, clean & stylish place I was excited to rent for my bridesmaids. It was everything I expected and more."
846780,8382598,2013-10-28,4907586,Annelise,We loved staying at Tina's cottage.

It was clean, had all the comforts of home and they loved your welcome items.  The location of this home is convenient to everything while still being peacful and a hidden gem!

846780,11449764,2014-04-03,5523541,Annie,"Tina is fabulous! She was so friendly and helpful in advance, even stocking the kitchen with our breakfast favorites. Throughout our stay, we were texting her for recommendations for restaurants and sites to take in. She was so responsive. The cottage is wonderful. It was a perfect cozy size for two couples. We were able to negotiate the bathroom between the bedrooms easily. The kitchen is small but well supplied with nice equipment for cooking. Dining area and living room were fun hang out spaces. We played badminton in the front yard and had morning coffee on the back patio. The neighborhood is pretty quiet. A train is easily heard, but wonderfully soothing, on a regular basis.  The location is so convenient. It was easy to find places to eat nearby on Lamar. It was a short drive to all of the parts of the city--UT, the State House, Barton Springs, 6th Street Music and restaurants, Congress Street shopping. We had a blast. We would love to stay with Tina again when we're in Austin! Thanks, Tina!"

846780,13079102,2014-05-19,8967741,Milton,"Tina was a very welcoming hostess with a beautiful cottage that is identical to what is shown in the pictures. Tina takes her hosting responsibilities seriously and treats the property like a business, and, as any veteran of this site knows, that makes a difference in the quality and cleanliness of the accommodations.
The home is situated close to Zilker Park just south of downtown, but not so far that you feel stranded. We took a cab to Rainey St on Saturday afternoon and it was only $12, so really not a big deal. Better yet, the immediate Lamar/5th/SoFi area is full of restaurants and bars in many ways more fun than downtown proper, so no need to leave.
The cottage itself is cozy, clean, and well-appointed to meet all your needs whether staying in to work at night or hosting a small BBQ with friends. Wifi was exceptional and available throughout the property. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary cookware and spices, oils, etc. Floors, counter tops, and table surfaces were spotless. Bathroom equally clean, and Tina supplied a number of the essentials for the forgetful traveler (e.g. body wash, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, hand soap, shaving cream, sunblock, etc.) Beds were clean and comfortable, and many extra blankets supplied to defend against the ultra-powerful air-conditioner...that last one, the A/C unit, would alone sell me on this property if I visit again during the forthcoming summer.

Thanks for everything, Tina."
846780,13948887,2014-06-09,12937737,Jennifer,"Tina is a great host-very warm and welcoming.  It's obvious that she loves her little cottage and has put her heart and soul into the place.  I really appreciated the filtered water in the kitchen and she even provides some little comforts like tea, coffee, and a few snacks.  I was so excited to see a little bottle of local honey for my tea as well!  She's so thoughtful!  
The house was definitely everything we expected-clean, quiet, comfortable, cozy, and it had everything we needed to cook all of our meals.  The beds were comfortable at night and the sofa was great for lounging around in the evening.  
The neighborhood is awesome.  It is safe and quiet.  Barton Springs pool and Zilker park are right around the corner and easy to get to.  There are also restaurants and a great little juice bar just around the corner.  It's like home away from home-truly!"
846780,14588513,2014-06-22,16954958,Amy,"This place is great-- perfect homebase for my husband and I to explore to the awesome city of Austin! Tina is so kind and sweet. She responded to us quickly and was so easy to work with. Her place is adorable. It's small but didn't feel that way inside. It's super comfy and stylish. It's a great location, in an awesome neighborhood. Tons of stuff within walking distance. I loved it and would definitely stay here again when we make it back to Austin. "

Located in the Zilker Park neighbourhood, it was an ideal location to access downtown Austin, shopping and our many BBQ road trips.
Tina was an amazing host. She was very welcoming, friendly and always available to answer any questions. I highly recommend Tina's cottage and  hopefully have the pleasure of staying there the next time I'm in Austin!"

Tina welcomed our questions, made sure she was there to greet us - felt like I was visiting a friend.  THIS is what this site is all about.  THANK YOU TINA!!!!"

The neighborhood is lovely and quiet and Tina's touches of fluffy towels, nice linens, wine and Austin guides was above and beyond. I would recommend renting a car- maybe I have been living in Europe too long or maybe Texas is just too big! "

846780,22224338,2014-11-02,12872055,Stellan,"Awesome host, very thoughtful and great hospitality. Place was also perfect for our F1 weekend in Austin. We will be back for sure"
846780,22823472,2014-11-16,9554219,Mary,Great stay! Hostess so accommodating!
846780,23397349,2014-11-30,345110,Ruth,"We visited during Thanksgiving and had the loveliest time! Not only is Tina's home beautiful and welcoming, but she also made sure to ask in advance and have our favorite breakfast foods waiting for us when we arrived! Amazing!  And she made sure to have an amazing tea selection when I mentioned via email I'm a tea drinker! I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. :) "
846780,24677444,2015-01-01,5114020,Hannah,"Really gorgeous property in nice neighbourhood.  Tina was a great host and the house was well stocked with food, toiletries and other personal touches.  Would highly recommend. "
846780,24991861,2015-01-04,25243288,Stacy,Tina is a great hostess.  The house is absolutely adorable and in a great location.  I would definitely recommend her lovely cottage and will be back soon!
846780,26271405,2015-02-08,13239938,Kerrigan,Tina is an incredibly thoughtful host! She's honestly a better host than a friend--she left us the most thoughtful fruit basket because we told her we'd be eating BBQ all weekend. She also helped us look into transportation costs. All of this was the cherry on the sundae given that her home is charming and spotless and comfortable. I would highly recommend a stay here! 
846780,26608164,2015-02-16,26101683,Tala,We stayed at Tina's adorable bungalow for the Austin Marathon! Tina has done a wonderful job decorating and paying close attention to the tiniest details! We felt like we were staying on a movie set - the charm is unmatched. Walking distance to a variety of dining and entertainment venues on South Lamar and Barton Springs Rd. And easy access to downtown & Zilker Park. We can't wait to stay again soon! 
846780,26912403,2015-02-22,3674222,Molly,We had a fantastic stay at Tina's cottage in Austin. 3 of us stayed in her 2bdrm/1bath cottage near South Lamar. We checked in at about 3pm and were greeted by her neighbor who gave us a little tour of the place. Tina left us with some yummy breakfast goodies and coffee. The cottage is decorated so cute and very clean. The best part of Tina's cottage is the location. We could easily walk to so many places and downtown is a cheap uber away. Walking to south congress took about 30 minutes and it was a beautiful walk. Tina checked in with us periodically to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Tina! 
846780,27572898,2015-03-08,101795,Dhru,"Tina's place is adorable and Tina herself was super friendly. Amazing location and a very nice and safe neighborhood. Bed was comfortable, house was impeccably clean, and wifi was fast : ) highly recommend this spot. "
846780,27821918,2015-03-12,6984333,Felice,"The cottage was a perfect haven to come back to. My housing fell through at the last minute - and Tina was super-fast at responding and making me feel at home at very short notice. I am so grateful to her for the place and it was exactly as described. I was in town for a conference and spent most of my days downtown - but it was very easy to catch a bus from the cottage. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a sweet, comfortable place to use as a home base when visiting Austin. Tina was communicative via text and kept in touch to make sure I had everything I need. "
846780,28117231,2015-03-18,20652307,Lauryl,"Loved Tina's place! I was so cozy, cute and clean. Tina took such good care of use and gave us fruit, breakfast materials and wine for our stay. Have breakfast supplies was so amazing before a full day of session at SXSW. The ride to downtown Austin was super quick and Uber drivers were no more than 10 minutes away at any time. 

"
846780,29112687,2015-04-04,64349,Ryan,"The cottage is charming and beautiful, and Tina was a great host. Loved the fresh fruit. Would definitely stay here again!"
846780,30221224,2015-04-19,29707463,Lane,"I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin. The place was very much as advertised. Nice and clean upon arrival. Tina's neighbor met us and showed us around. The place was closely located to a lot of the best restaurants and nightlife that Austin has to offer. Everything was short drive away.

Tina was very accommodating and would check in on us periodically to make sure everything was ok. We would definitely stay here again."
846780,30816968,2015-04-27,7026476,Rhea,Tina was such an amazingly warm and welcome host.  She makes you feel more like a friend than a guest!  Her place and location is amazing as well.  It's in a super charming residential neighborhood just off South Lamar and super close to South Congress.  Plenty to do nearby and easy to get around the rest of the city.  Would choose Tina's place over a hotel any day!
846780,38971891,2015-07-19,32615255,Anna,"Tina was fantastic. She took our last-minute reservation and met us upon arrival even though it was late in the evening. Her house is beautifully decorated and so cozy, we felt right at home. The location was close to everything but quiet. Our first Air BnB experience and it was great, we'd love to stay here again on our next trip to Austin. "
846780,39422324,2015-07-23,27248737,Gail,"Tina met us on arrival to show us around her very charming cozy and comfortable cottage.  She had stopped this adorable place withrefreshing drinks in the fridge, a choice of teas, fruit...even a loaf of bread.  Tina checked on us by text message throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we need and that we were doing OK"
846780,39850348,2015-07-26,23673691,Javier,"Based in the Zilker Park neighborhood of Austin, the house is in a nice little neighborhood where people like to bike and run in the mornings.  

It is an older home, but that only adds to its charm.  The beds were nice and comfy, the living room was comfortable, the house was immaculately clean, and there were even several beers to be had in the fridge.  

Tina was our host, and I was greeted upon at the door.  She gave us a short, but descriptive tour and made herself available if we needed to.  This could be my home away from home when I return to Austin eventually."
846780,40866429,2015-08-02,39766150,Aimee,"We were greeted by Tina who was so nice and flexible as we adjusted our arrival time a bit! The house is quaint and adorable and very clean. Loved the neighborhood, so easy to get anywhere really in Austin! We loved our time there!"
846780,41864568,2015-08-09,21257143,Matt,"Tina greeted us upon arrival...showed us the place...and was very friendly and wanted to make sure everything was perfect.
The house was exactly as advertised online...plenty of room!
She took the time to decorate the place with her style which was great"
846780,44580636,2015-08-27,38972928,Andrea,"Tina was the the best Airbnb host I've had, and her cottage was above and beyond what we imagined. She met us at the space to give us a super quick tour and was very prompt when we needed to ask any questions. We really felt like this was our home in Austin - cozy, not too big, not too small and impeccably decorated. I loved the functionality of everything, too. It has tons of cooking equipment, extra linens if you need them and good cable! :) She even provided some fresh OJ, coffee and breakfast items for us in the fridge. We will definitely be booking at this place again!"
846780,45913318,2015-09-06,37028141,Paul,"What a romantic get-away - this cottage is stylish and bright and comfortable - nice soaps and whistling tea kettle and a french press, what more could you need?  Oh, a really cool host... excellent stay and great location.  Thanks, Tina! "
846780,47440666,2015-09-18,26763569,Christopher,"Tina is so awesome! And this little house is so awesome too! Super comfy, well equipped, and Tina was nice enough to give me the tour before I settled in!

Next chance I get, I'll be coming back!"
846780,47791602,2015-09-21,42872863,Gigi & Doug,Great location! Clearly Tina takes pride in her home. The house was perfect for our stay in Austin. 
846780,48917747,2015-09-29,3527182,Allard,"Tina is an amazing airbnb host. She was there to greet us upon arrival & everything in the house was perfect. The fridge was stocked with snacks, drinks & farm fresh eggs. 

The S. Lamar location is amazing with great restaurants & the Alamo Drafthouse nearby. Close enough to downtown. 

I'll be back there next year! 

"
846780,49757457,2015-10-06,6033462,Diego,Our experience in Tina's house was great. Went to Austin for ACL and the house was close enough to walk every day and it was located close to everything the city has to offer. The house was clean and very comfortable. 
846780,51220137,2015-10-18,12804538,Matt,"Tina was awesome and her place is equally awesome. It worked out really well for me and my friend for our weekend visit to Austin. Tina went out of her way to stock the place with a few basic items, and was welcoming upon our fairly late arrival. The neighborhood is very nice, quiet, and within a short drive of most areas you'd want to see. The house is small, clean, and well styled. I plan on making this one of our 'go-to' rentals in Austin. "
846780,52205021,2015-10-27,2486241,Lee,What a place! Tina's house is absolutely lovely and Tina the perfect host! Tina made us feel incredibly welcome and supplied us with lots of nice goodies and gave us some great tips for places to check out. The cottage is beautiful and an easy walk to South Lamar or walk/uber/bus to South Congress or Downtown. I cannot recommend enough!!
846780,52526715,2015-10-30,21929057,Danielle,"Tina was a wonderful host! When I arrived at the house, she was so sweet and gave me the full tour. The house itself was adorable! So much charm with wonderful amenities in a fabulous location. I would highly recommend Tina's amazing little cottage. I visited nearby Patika for amazing coffee and stopped by Brown's BBQ for my brisket fix. It is also a quick drive away from amazing spots on 1st Street and South Congress. 

Thank you for sharing this gem of a house. "
846780,52685216,2015-11-01,41883322,Michael,"Tina gave us a really warm welcome! THe house was great, a few beer in the fridge, some eggs, some crisps and a few other things.
The house was exactly as described. Everything perfect. A very friendly host."
304822,1001668,2012-03-15,1538560,Christian,"Cristen and Miguel were fabulous hosts and made their house a real home to me. It was the perfect base to go and explore the city with the bike. It was a blast.  There even is a fridge in the room. 

The next time I am in Austin I will go back there. "
304822,1023630,2012-03-20,1181947,James,"I didn't get a chance to hang out with Cristen and Miguel because they left town shortly after my arrival, but the place was just as advertised. They lent me a bike which worked fine, although I found the bus to be much easier and less sweat-inducing to get downtown. The room was comfortable and accessible. It felt very homey. Great outdoor porch to hang out. They also left bagels, coffee, and other great homemade food to snack on. Awesome experience--definitely recommend!"
304822,6570883,2013-08-17,4934503,Martine,Great space! Very Austin feel... All my needs were met and Miguel was a thoughtful and kind host. Miss the kitty already! Easy access to the bus routes and had a nice amount of privacy if that's yr thing. Would stay again:)
304822,8895693,2013-11-25,2490947,Daniela Franca,"Staying with Cristen and Miguel in Austin was an absolute blessing. I have rarely felt as comfortable, at ease, at peace as I did in their home and in their company. They are beautiful people, with a beautiful space--authentic, cozy, fresh. Their cats, Pandora and Fritz, are simply legendary. Thank you so much, C and M, for embodying the meaning of hospitality and kindness. I will miss you!"
304822,10919635,2014-03-13,3883842,Eilene,Cristen and Miguel are wonderful hosts. The room was comfortable and they made me feel ver at home. 
304822,11073122,2014-03-19,2096469,Chris,"I stayed with Cristen and Miguel during SXSW and it was great. These guys were so nice and accommodating. We had breakfast tacos every morning, we drank beer every day, and they pointed me to a bunch of shows/bands that I wouldn't have otherwise known about. The room was a good size and having a bike to borrow in Austin was a really fun and helpful way to get around when the taxi situation was fairly dire during SXSW. If/When I'm back in Austin, I will be sure to meet up with these fine people again! "
304822,14177190,2014-06-13,16722852,Obinna,The reservation was canceled 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
304822,14741772,2014-06-25,1670526,Hadji,"Its difficult to find a place to start describing how great of a house this is, and how wonderful of a host Miguel is (Cristen was away, but I can only assume she's as fantastic). The house is warm (in character) and cool (in temperature); the kitchen is perfect for cooking; back patio is tranquil and inviting; and the backyard is a wonderland. 
Likewise, the neighborhood has everything you need or could want – great cafes, taco trucks, bars, and a very good supermarket. The streets are serene and beautifully canopied with lush trees; and its central to UT Austin, where I was doing research. Having a bike made all the difference and let me get around with ease. 

Miguel and Leo (Cristen and Miguel's roommate) are great people; made me feel right at home and, within a day or two, felt like old friends. 

This place is why air-bnb is a necessary service for seasoned travelers. "
304822,15281823,2014-07-06,16945706,Baptiste,"I stayed here one week with Cristen, Miguel and leo  and they were really great and warms hosts. They were very helpful with me (I needed to find an appartment/buy a bike). The room and the bed are comfortable, the house is great you can wash your clothes, use the kitchen. I used a bike they provided to go in town and go to work. The neighboohood is great it is pretty much close to everything you need. 
"
304822,17833453,2014-08-18,6011122,Dan,Cristen and Miguel were fabulous! I couldn't have asked for better hosts. They were warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home. The place was terrific -- even better than I expected. I give a hearty recommendation!
304822,18619781,2014-08-29,3400522,Juan,"Cristen and Miguel were amazing hosts, very friendly and welcoming and their house is the perfect place to submerge into the Austinite culture. The location was amazing, the buses #7 or #10 would take you downtown within minutes (get the HopStop app and you will have no trouble finding out how to go anywhere either walking, with a bike or by bus).
Should you want to explore further than the Dirty 6th (and I strongly advise you to do so!) the area where their place is located is beautiful, full of vintage shops and food trucks... you can even borrow a bike and lock from them, I loved just riding and getting lost to discover new things!
I wish I could have stayed more time, but I will certainly come back and when I do so, this is the place I am renting! "
304822,23716114,2014-12-08,2046720,Amanda,"Cristen and Miguel are good people! Comfy bed, bohemian and friendly atmosphere, cuddly cats, quiet neighborhood, close to buses and grocery store. All in all we had a great stay! Cristen and Miguel were very welcoming and took good care of us yet respected our privacy when we needed to kick back. Highly recommended!"
304822,25282031,2015-01-11,19237280,Meghan,"Cristen and Miguel are both incredibly warm and easygoing individuals.  They made me feel welcome right away, offering suggestions for places to explore in the neighborhood, as well as delicious homemade soup with vegetables grown from their garden.  My room was clean and comfortable, the cats were soft and charming, and the whole experience was fantastic."
304822,25347553,2015-01-12,10071272,Sasha,"Cristen and Miguel were naturally kind, sincere, and creative people -- the kind who are a pleasure to meet and with whom to share some minutes of our lives. I hope to see them again! Thank you for your warmth & generosity, Cristen and Miguel. "
304822,26134173,2015-02-04,6776497,Anna,"Cristen and Miguel were wonderful hosts. Their spare room is cozy and exactly as advertised, I borrowed a bike to get to the university, and I really enjoyed talking with them in the evening. Their cats are also the sweetest :) I would love to stay again if I were ever to come back to Austin!"
304822,26252525,2015-02-08,10198164,Jessica,"Cristen & Miguel's place was great.  It was very cozy and welcoming.  When I got there, Cristen was making carrot pulp & flax seed crackers and offered me tea almost immediately!

The bed was super comfortable, everyone was friendly and there was coffee :)  Miguel even pointed me to a fun venue with lots of local music.

I didn't explore the neighborhood much, but it seemed like a nice & quiet area.  And the backyard was great for sitting in the sun."
304822,32107554,2015-05-14,28072133,Niklas,"I had a great stay with Cristen and Miguel. The house is in a nice, leafy, quiet neighbourhood and close to a number of bus stops that will take you into town and there are a number of great restaurants and food trucks within walking distance. Most of all, Cristen and Miguel are great hosts. They are kind and always ready to give advice on where to go and what to see. I wish I would have had more time to follow up some of the things they recommended. Altogether, it was a fantastic experience. "
304822,38105041,2015-07-13,4153781,Aili,"Cristen and Miguel's place is really great. The house and the room is very cozy, the neighborhood is beautiful and safe (and has a lot of great places to eat), and the bike I borrowed was perfect for getting to the university and around in Austin. There are also several busses close to the house that will take you just about anywhere if you don't feel like biking. 

Also, Cristen and Miguel are the best hosts imaginable. They were very welcoming, told me about a lot of good places and, most of all, took me with them and showed me some awesome places I would never have found by myself. They took me hiking and dining and showed me great swimming spots and even invited me to a family celebration on the Fourth of July, which was great fun. All in all, my stay in Austin would not have been nearly as great as it was if Cristen and Miguel hadn't  showed me these places and if they hadn't been so nice to hang out with.

I would definitely stay here again. I cannot recommend this place warmly enough, and I really hope I get the chance to come back! "
304822,39253702,2015-07-21,38877157,Mary,The hosts made me feel right at home.  They were very personable and friendly.  The neighborhood was nice and centrally located and was as expected.

The bed is very comfortable and spacious. They gave me great recommendations on food, events and even went on a hike to the Green Belt. I would definitely stay here again. "
304822,42549273,2015-08-14,36945059,Ashley,Cristen & the other housemates were welcoming and friendly. I love their unique house. The neighborhood is great - if it hadn't been so hot outside I definitely would have enjoyed bicycling and running every day. The porch is great for squirrel watching!
304822,44985869,2015-08-30,28190584,Sarah,"Cristen was a very hospitable host! My husband and I are vegan and she welcomed us with vegan cookies she had made! The house is in a good location, a very quiet and relaxed neighborhood. It's also close to many of the neat attractions Austin has to offer. The house is very cool, lots of character, and it's nice and cozy. We slept very soundly. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend Cristen and Miguel's place to anyone looking to stay in the wonderful city of Austin, Texas."
304822,47689612,2015-09-21,20053415,Laura,"I loved staying with Cristen and Miguel! They are wonderful host - very welcoming, kind and generous. They were always helpful, had some great tips for doing things/where to eat and often even invited me to have dinner/barbecue with them. Additionally, their house is really cosy and full of character, situated in a very nice, quiet neighbourhood — with some good places to eat within walking distance. And you can either cycle/take the bus or even walk to the university or other places in Austin. All in all, I can totally recommend them! "
304822,51308520,2015-10-19,6627535,August,Cristan and Miguel were amazing. They're the kind of people that instantly feel like old friends. So incredibly kind and generous; I couldn't recommend staying with them highly enough. The neighborhood was wonderful and the place was just what I was looking for. An amazing Austin experience. 
304822,52356122,2015-10-28,13798315,Ratnadeep,"This is a nice old Austin house with big open area at the back. Perfect place to sit, take a beer/coup of coffee and read or work. Evening is nice squirrel watching time.

Loved the stay here and enjoyed many conversations with Cristen and Miguel about their travel, food around Mexico and Ausin.. They are amazing couple! Highly recommended place."
304822,53072616,2015-11-04,6409407,Zach,"What a wonderful place to stay! Christen and Miguel were really cool and generous hosts. The house has a positive and peaceful vibe. It is comfortable, clean, colorful, and very welcoming. They have a big back porch and a hodgepodge of bikes to use. Hyde park is a 20-25 minute bike ride from downtown, but theres good stuff in the neighborhood as well.  Great experience in Austin, and great hosts. Thanks again!"
5581658,28061299,2015-03-16,13165876,Ganesh,"Sydney's apartment was great. Sydney was very welcoming from the moment I booked my accommodation, even offering me a spot for my car. I didn't get to meet Sydney in person but her fiancee,  Chris was a great host and made me feel at home. The neighborhood is cool and is walkable from both West 6th street and dirty 6th street bars. 
Access is easy and you can enter and exit easily which is great."
5581658,28147139,2015-03-18,3635795,James,Sydney has a wonderful and clean home. She was very accommodating during my stay. Thanks for making my 1st trip to Austin a great experience!
5581658,28428527,2015-03-23,28966648,Stratton,"Sydney was very welcoming, very helpful, maintains a tidy and spacious house in a great neighborhood that is a 40 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the heart of downtown Austin. It was a an excellent spot to stay during SXSW 2015. I was even allowed to park my car in the private garage, which was a huge bonus."
5581658,46101450,2015-09-07,21044765,Michael,"Sydney was not at home. The appartment was clean and comfy, though linens were not organized and the location of the couch not that good, ppl were wandering around the living room all night long. The experience was not worth the money."
5581658,46826142,2015-09-13,43578579,Lexie,Sydney was an amazing host!  She was extremely welcoming into her home. She was very helpful showing me around Austin and giving good recommendations of places to visit and eat.  She gave me my space but made sure I had everything I needed as well.  The neighborhood was very nice and had so many places to go walking distance.  It was very easy to get an Uber or Lyft and did not have to wait long after requesting one.   Sydney was such a good host I recommend staying with her during a visit to Austin! 
5581658,49740497,2015-10-05,25723105,Jared,"Pretty minimalist but very good price.  If you're looking for nothing more than a place to sleep at night like I was, this is a good value."
5581658,50566647,2015-10-12,13830914,Gus,This is a brilliant house in a great neighbourhood in Austin. Walking distance to the bars on 6th street and downtown. Sydney was a brilliant host who makes guests feel right at home. The house is beautiful! Would definitely recommend!

5581658,51412660,2015-10-19,46674614,Jack,"Sydney and co. struck a wonderful balance between friendly interaction and personal space. The couch was comfortable, the house was beautiful (not to mention an easy walk to downtown and the train station), and the people were awesome. With all the recommendations they gave me, I wish I'd planned a longer visit!"
1717328,8391267,2013-10-28,9471257,Brian,Tony was a great host. He was easy to deal with and fast with communication leading up to and during our stay. The house was clean and comfortable. The location is an easy walk to South Congress.
1717328,8630640,2013-11-09,3839519,Ginny,"My stay at the bungalow was great! Tony is very friendly, helpful and responsive. My situation was very hectic, as I live in Austin, but was in the middle of a stressful move. He was very flexible and understanding, which made my situation much easier. My cats even loved the place! I would recommend the bungalow to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Austin."
1717328,9962537,2014-01-21,2336220,Mangalpal,"Tony is a gracious host that provided us with helpful advice and tourist suggestions. The bungalow is in a great location with treks taking less than 10 minutes to get into downtown by car.

I would definitely recommend this place!

1717328,10047351,2014-01-27,2761967,Jon,"Nice place, comfy couches, friendly cats. Tony was very responsive, we hit a cold patch and he came through right away with an extra heater and more blankets. Right in the thick of things, we had a great stay!"
1717328,10324574,2014-02-13,5576115,Hal,"Great cottage, perfect location.  Tony came up with bikes for us, which was made the deal, as Austin is a great biking town.   Great art on the walls, nice feel to the whole place.  Thanks, Tony!"
1717328,10426051,2014-02-18,11377316,Marilyn J,"The bungalow was a great place to stay for our long weekend in Austin. It was clean, in a nice neighborhood and a good walk from everything we wanted to do and see. I would definitely stay there again. "
1717328,10744659,2014-03-05,4976916,Steve And Mariana,"Great location and very nice and comfortable home.  We enjoyed our short stay very much.  And the super friendly cat was a nice bonus for us!  We would definitely want to stay here again on a visit to Austin.  The location is very convenient yet quiet and comfortable enough for you to ""get away"" and enjoy downtime."
1717328,10918236,2014-03-13,2800005,Jenny,The bungalow was cozy and wonderful for us!
1717328,11000457,2014-03-17,10922431,Kieran,"As advertised - nice place and great location.
Host was very quick to respond and always helpful. "
1717328,11174848,2014-03-24,5707059,Michelle,"Six of us spent a long weekend at the Monstrosity Bungalow, and it was the perfect place to hang our hats. It was comfortable, away from the hustle and bustle and yet close enough to everything that it wasn't a struggle to experience all that Austin has to offer. Plus, the house is close to some seriously good tacos. Tony could not have been a more laid-back and helpful host and we sincerely hope to come back! "
1717328,11363522,2014-03-31,2430184,Laura,"We had an awesome weekend in Austin and staying at Tony's Bungalow!      The bungalow is adorable, easy to get to from the airport ($25 cab ride) and accessible to the heart of SoCo by foot or faster by bike!  It's got the charm of Austin, front and back porch, great kitchen and sitting areas!

Tony was super helped telling us about the hot spots in Austin, directing us to where we could take in the finest of the city:  art, music, eats, craft beers, and scenic views!  Tony was flexible with our check out time too!"
1717328,11583391,2014-04-08,3693570,Anthony,"Couldn't have gone better, brilliant space, unusual but comfortable and great space to both party and relax. We took all of Tony's units, it's always challenging organising such a big crowd but Tony was the perfect airbnb host, good communication before and during our stay."
1717328,12340633,2014-04-29,398018,Karina,"The house was comfortable and spacious -- perfect for two couples.

The property situation wasn't quite what we expected, there were many houses/buildings/trailers... I think at least a dozen people were staying on Tony's property plus a few animals.

That said, we didn't mind. Everyone was quiet and respectful. Tony was nice and very flexible with check in times. "
1717328,12658013,2014-05-07,12745266,Lauren,"We had an excellent stay at the monstrosity bungalow! The space was clean, spacious, as pictured. Loved the screened-in porch. Great neighbourhood and convenient location. Thanks Tony!"
1717328,12922619,2014-05-14,604842,Peter,"Tony's a great host. Very accommodating and available when you need him. The apartment was just what we were looking for, nice and spacious and located in a great neighbourhood in Austin. "
1717328,13184614,2014-05-21,14090918,Jarrett,Tony was a great host and the bungalow was amazing! I cannot imagine staying in Austin anywhere else. 
1717328,13681772,2014-06-02,14906751,Amy,"The Monstrosity Bungalow was exactly what my travel companions and I were looking for.  It was spacious, hip and conveniently located to the spots we wanted to hit while in Austin.  Tony has a great setup.  "
1717328,15338519,2014-07-07,7025981,Federico,Great Host and friendly people
1717328,16858122,2014-08-03,17646340,Donald,"Our Host (Tony) was incredibly accommodating, servicing any requests we had. The property was amazing, just as the description and pictures describe. We will definitely be calling Tony again. For first timers in Austin, I would strongly recommend this property. It's in the middle of everything fun."
1717328,17459724,2014-08-12,7599146,Stacey,"Our host was available to answer any questions and provide suggestions on places to go. The property was even better than I expected. It's really a cool spot to be in. Has a very relaxed and creative vibe. The neighborhood is close to everything you want to do in Austin, but serves as a peaceful oasis when you want some downtime. "
1717328,17957519,2014-08-19,13560755,Joshua,"The Monstrosity Bungalow was absolutely phenomenal. Four friends and I went to Austin for a nice three day getaway and Tony could not have been a better host. The check in process was completely seamless. Upon arrival, both bedrooms were prepared and the entire house was in a clean state. There was enough room to breathe with five people in the house. The best part of the house was by far the screened in patio. This space served as a total oasis in the middle of the city during the time spent in the house. Everyone that was on the trip still talks about the exceptional level of comfort that was felt in the home. This location will definitely be a repeat for the future if it is still available. The host was more than accommodating for the duration of the trip and even mailed back a piece of jewelry that was left behind in the home. Honesty and integrity are hard to come by and this host is the one to find it in. Worth every penny and many more. "
1717328,18890775,2014-09-02,18673478,Courtney,"The rental space was just as described in the listing. The cats on the property were super friendly. Tony was a great host! Although my group never needed anything, he made sure we had everything. He offered tips on things to do and see in Austin. This space is right around the corner of a Torchy's Tacos (you MUST go). Very close to downtown for those who like the nightlife action. Me and my girlfriends enjoyed the getaway weekend! Thanks Tony! "
1717328,20892444,2014-10-07,15312155,Shea,"Tony made our stay at the Bungalow an awesome experience.  He was there when we arrived and was accommodating to our needs.  It was a cool house with a lot of character.  A blast to stay at.  Tony was able to answer all of our random questions about Austin.  Cool neighborhood. Quiet, but has great access to different parts of Austin.  Would definitely stay there again."
1717328,21520306,2014-10-19,4442783,Ronja,"Tony war ein super Gastgeber. Auf jedes unserer Anliegen ist er sofort eingegangen und hat uns sehr geholfen, uns wohlzufuehlen.
Das Haus ist wunderschoen, in sehr guter Lage.
Wir hatten einen guten Aufenthalt in Austin."
1717328,21776670,2014-10-24,8759740,Ruth,We loved the neighborhood and it was all just as described.  Tony arrived shortly after we got in and he got us all settled.
1717328,22025948,2014-10-28,21571204,Bruce,"Nice place, comfy couches, friendly cats. Tony was very very responsive -- we asked for flexibility in the schedule and he gave it to us straight away. Located in the thick of things, and close to relatives ... we had a great stay!"
1717328,24252268,2014-12-23,3952714,Priya,"Tony was very prompt in responding to requests and questions the entire time. We also noticed little details, such as extra towels and toiletries everywhere. We also brought our dogs, and they thoroughly enjoyed playing in the yard. The location is great--central to many Austin activities and locations. Be sure to check out the local coffee spots and wine bars within walking distance!! This is a great value for all visiting town."
1717328,24927806,2015-01-04,14138928,Debra,"Great (email hidden)ry close to downtown & south congress. Roomy, cool atmosphere. Tony was very accommodating. We had 8 people staying in the house for 5 nights including 4 teenagers. ...we never ran out of hot water, which was a plus. However, with it being an older home the stove was difficult to work...& the electric did not seem to keep up with our devices. Also their is only one true bed in the house. But a great overall experience for the price. & Torchy's is in walking distance "
1717328,25329990,2015-01-12,18163219,Joey,"Perfect house! We were in town for the USA Cycling cyclocross nationals. We had 6 riders in the event and we couldn't have asked for a better location, a better host, or a better house! Thanks for letting us rent the Monstrosity Bungalow! "

1717328,27102679,2015-02-25,27011525,Stephen,This review is for the Loft. The space was great. Just like home. Close to South Congress & ABGB. Tony was around to answer questions & for small talk. My daughter especially enjoyed the company of the cats and dogs. Can't wait to go back. We also bought some of Tony's artwork he had in the loft. 
1717328,27773052,2015-03-11,14098507,Derrick,It was great! The Monstrosity was comfortable and inviting with a great location. I really enjoyed the feel of the house and the art on the walls.
1717328,29344216,2015-04-06,18607688,Tess,"Tony wasn't able to be there to greet us, but made sure our check-in went smoothly. He responded promptly to all messages before and during our stay, which was greatly appreciated! We had some complications while booking, but Tony figured everything out for us and was very sweet about it all! The house looks just like the photos -- very cute, roomy for myself and my 2 friends. The screened-in patio in the back was a nice addition, in addition to the two bedrooms, essentially two living rooms, bathroom, and kitchen (equipped with basics). The location is awesome, too, just a short walk to South Congress, which is one of the best areas for restaurants, shops, and nightlife. We loved our stay! Thank you, Tony - next time we are in Austin, we would love to stay here again!!"
1717328,29929942,2015-04-14,8103745,Maureen,"Loved the Monstrosity Bungalow.  My friends and I (four of us) were very happy here.  The space was so comfortable and roomy, we never felt overcrowded.  The rooms were all comfortable.  Contrary to what the listing says there are actually two true beds, which was a bonus!  We were able to utilize the kitchen as well.  Of course we basically lived on the shared screened in porch, to the point of not wanting to leave it.  The neighborhood was great as well.  Walking distance to a major grocery store.  Fantastic time!  The Monstrosity Bungalow really made our trip to Austin great!  "
1717328,31657449,2015-05-08,31176001,Darron,"I had a great time in the Monstrosity bungalow! It's centrally located, so we were close to downtown and 6th street. Tony, our host, was kind and accommodating. It really made our trip worth while! Would definitely book again!"
1717328,31912973,2015-05-11,10620449,Mark,"Tony had great communication, the place was as described, and we had a great time.  The beds were comfortable and the place was really spacious, the kitchen was great as well as the back porch.  A great experience.  I'd definitely stay there again."
1717328,32782774,2015-05-21,6278942,Paz,Thank you for your quick responses while we were at the Monstrosity Bungalow. Loved the place and it was perfect for what we needed! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!!
1717328,33236540,2015-05-26,28829147,Taylor,"Tony was great! Very friendly and helpful. Could always be reached. He keeps a clean house. I will definitely be using his place again! Awesome house, in a great location. "
1717328,37417429,2015-07-06,37190315,Thomas,"The Bungalow was accurately described by the ad. It was kept clean, and everything worked properly. I was concerned before about parking multiple cars, but also proved to be not an issue. I would definitely stay there again. "
1717328,40033043,2015-07-27,38860907,Jeff,Comfortable home in a cool neighborhood close to downtown...we will be back again!
1717328,42428850,2015-08-13,13850310,Charlie,"As my second time staying with Tony, I would recommend that anyone planning a trip to Austin should consider booking one of his properties.  Expect a great location, fun decor, and an overall wonderful experience.  Perfect launchpad for any Austin trip."

Tony was very professional and hospitable.  I'd stay at one of his properties again when I come back to Austin!"
1717328,46285025,2015-09-09,12431781,Bilal,"The place was as depicted in pictures, great porch and outdoor area and proximal to great food. The whole interaction was really low key. We had everything we needed and the guidelines expressed all rules clearly. The only thing that we did not account for was that it was a bit musky in the house, maybe that is expected in an old house. It wasn't a deal breaker but worth a mention I think. "
1717328,48002220,2015-09-22,17132051,Brendan,"Tony has a great place, its close to a lot of cool spots, the space is very comfortable, and he is responsive if you need anything from him."
1717328,48916680,2015-09-29,43126969,Lorie,"The Monstrosity Bungalow is absolutely adorable! It is in a great neighborhood and we were able to walk to Congress st (about 20 min walk). The house was clean, well furnished and has two outdoor spaces - we had a perfect view of the lunar eclipse from the front porch. :-)
The overall experience was wonderful and I would definitely stay again!"
1717328,51453946,2015-10-20,35963674,Victoria,The house is awesome.  It has the original structure and style with some fun modern art work and updates.  Tony answered all of my questions pre arrival about the local scene.  He also was on top of any questions I had about the house after arriving and getting settled in.  We had a larger group and he did everything to be as accomadating as possible.
5643631,28504144,2015-03-24,29595118,Adam,Great house in a great location. Overall wonderful experience.
5643631,28841189,2015-03-30,21657636,Lisa,Edward and Tania were terrific hosts. They were just finishing a remodel of the house and getting the last few things hooked up when we arrived.  The house was very cute and clean and very well  located - right on the bike path! Their recommendations were also fantastic - my favorite had to be the Eastside King Food truck - Yum!! 
5643631,29442103,2015-04-07,26364910,Mary,We had a really lovely stay at Ed's place. Very kind hosts. They have created a very cozy and inspirational place. I loved the art and furniture pieces. I could not stop admiring everything. The beds were very comfy and all the amenities you could want are there. Not to mention the location is great for hopping onto the Hike and Bike Trail and starting your adventure through Austin. One other bonus we loved was the new establishment up the street The Launderette. We had a tasty night cap cocktail there. great place with great food. I recommend this place 100%! thanks! 
5643631,29537989,2015-04-08,5549604,Christine,"Clean, quiet and plenty of space! The home is tucked in a peaceful part of East Austin right beside the running trail, which I loved. Edward was also quick to reply and easy to stay in contact with, even with our last minute booking. Would definitely stay here again! "
5643631,29856793,2015-04-13,1226773,Connor,"Host was very easy going and able to meet us upon arrival at the house. Really cute, clean house in a quieter part of east Austin, but still walkable to all of the restaurants and bars on east 6th. Had a great stay and would do it again for sure. Definitely recommend. "
5643631,30166953,2015-04-18,22812721,Jonathan,"While I was not at the house for anything other than a sleep, the sleep was comfortable, the house spotlessly clean, the bath likewise clean and comfortable -- and the kitchen a great opporutnity not taken.  The host was indulgent.  The neighborhood trends in a way that I like, quiet, comfortable, with an easy ride to downtown with good restaurants on the way.

Stars...5 of 5.
"
5643631,30402962,2015-04-21,5592637,Sarah,Beautiful house in an awesome location in East Austin. Walkable to several great food trucks and bars on the East Side and Downtown Austin. The house was directly next to the Hike & Bike trail and was incredibly clean and a lovely place to stay. Our hosts were helpful and really friendly! Would highly recommend to everyone! 
5643631,31133628,2015-05-02,22058221,Xiaoxuan And Yuanyu,"The neighborhood is fantastic. Just 5 mins walk, you can get close to the river! The house is super clean and neat. We had a nice stay in Ed's house!"
5643631,31349029,2015-05-04,1800657,Kristofer,"This was the perfect Holly neighborhood rental.  It's lovely, simple, clean, well-positioned, and easy.  Exactly what we were looking for.  I would recommend this place to everyone."
5643631,31948806,2015-05-12,19943184,Phidel,"Great house. Me and my friends were in Austin for Levitation festival at Carsons creek ranch so we spent most of our time out. The location of the house was spot on to get to the festival and downtown.  Nice quiet residential street, the neighbours were really friendly and helped us find the house when we arrived and got lost. 

Edward and his family were quick to to come and turn the electricity back on after we'd tripped the fuse using too many appliances on one socket (Confused English tourist problems). 

Any questions we had he replied to them straight away. Really enjoyed our stay.

Austin is a great city. This house is a really nice chilled out base to see it from. Highly recommended it."
5643631,32147277,2015-05-14,2954669,Erica,"The house is cute and very Austin-esque, everything was clean and just as shown in the photos.  Quiet neighborhood with several restaurants and bars within reasonable walking distance.  I didn't have any problems but didn't feel super-comfortable walking very far alone after dark.  (Although who feels comfortable walking alone in the dark at a new place anyway?  I noticed several girls running alone on the trail next to the house, so that made me feel better.)  Instructions were clear for finding the house and getting inside, no problems.  "
5643631,32544660,2015-05-19,27489695,Hollie,Loved this cute little house. It was on a quiet street but close to everything we wanted to do. Host was very kind and accommodating. The house was need and inviting.  
5643631,33926948,2015-06-02,30300062,Peter,"This is a great house in a quiet corner of the Holly neighbourhood of Austin. There's a park with bike and hike trails literally round the corner and east 6th street and Rainey street are a 20 min walk away, also we had no issues walking home late at night. The hosts were communicative and friendly and even offered BBQ recommendations, I would definitely recommend as a base to explore Austin!"
5643631,34224787,2015-06-06,15811288,Lainey,Cozy home close to Rainey St. and downtown! Beautiful kitchen and friendly neighborhood.
5643631,34837570,2015-06-12,16885536,David,"This was an excellent stay! We could not have asked for a better place for a few productive days in Austin (was visiting on business). Edward was responsive, attentive, and the house was excellent. Would highly recommend"
5643631,34904068,2015-06-13,12112084,Curtis,"Edward's place was great! Quiet location, clean and just right for us. Very much a fun Austin vibe! Easy check in and communication was clear. Would definitely stay again!"
5643631,35315399,2015-06-17,33407337,Juan,"The house was great. Clean, open space, and very comfortable. Great location near the Colorado River (awesome trail to run if you can stand the humidity in June), and near great spots on the Eastside--nice walk if you want to get a feel for the community or a five minute drive. The neighborhood is quiet, calm, and safe.

Edward was great. Very responsive and provided any support via text. We would love to stay here again!"
5643631,35620712,2015-06-20,35436366,Keeli,We loved this adorable house! Super cute and he was nice enough to send us a list of things to do Austin. We would definitely stay here again. 
5643631,35925910,2015-06-23,21250354,Katherine,Edward was so great to interact with; he was very prompt in returning any questions I had about the space and the area. He was also very helpful in providing restaurant suggestions. The space exceeded my expectations; we were all very pleased with the location and the charm of the space. It was the perfect place for a long weekend in Austin! 
5643631,36436859,2015-06-28,24779536,Claudia,We had a great stay in this charming home.  Edward was so flexible and accommodating easy to reach and always so responsive.  It was a little too far for us to walk to downtown and Sixth St (it's certainly walkable distance just further than what we were wanting to walk for our night out) but it was a quick five minute Uber ride.  The home is very near the lake with tons of activities and has trails right by the house.  I definitely recommend Edward's place if you are visiting Austin!
5643631,36594277,2015-06-29,18280786,Jennifer,Nice home with cachet. 
5643631,37327239,2015-07-06,33652098,Nicole,"Very easy to communicate and arrange. Edward was very nice and accommodating. I recommend this place if your a weekend in Austin, comfortable and the location is very easy!
"
5643631,37589645,2015-07-08,14857314,Kathryn,This house made for a great place to relax and unwind. The renovations and interior decor were beautiful and the house was very clean. Edward was very welcoming and he was always quick to respond to my questions. I would certainly recommend this place.
5643631,38168063,2015-07-13,13973812,Don,Great place. Nice location was walking distance to many restaurants and a few brewery. It was a short drive or bike ride from the main areas of downtown. Host Was quick to reply to our questions and was flexible with our schedule. 
5643631,38679803,2015-07-17,23559746,Michelle,The place was exactly as described and had everything we needed for an overnight stay in Austin. Great location only a short Uber ride away from 6th Street. The host was great at responding to any questions I had and gave us a nice late check-out. The beds were very comfortable and I would happily stay here again. 
5643631,39042811,2015-07-20,36146397,Chris,"Pictures are an accurate representation of the interior.  It's clean and nicely furnished in MCM, with a little quirkiness.  The exterior is not pictured and detracts from this otherwise quaint home.  The neighborhood is full of cool restaurants and bars.  Easy access in and out of downtown from here.  Owner was responsive and helpful, though he will not disclose the actual address until the day of arrival.  I would stay here again."
5643631,39358796,2015-07-22,19414854,Lee Anne,"This was our first time using Airbnb, and it was a great experience. Edward & I communicated via Airbnb and then text messaging. We didn't actually meet him in person. He had a setup for a key in a lockbox that we were able to use, which worked out perfectly because we arrived in Austin much later than anticipated. The house was very clean and quiet. We slept well and the whole process was a breeze. The home was close to everything we wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again and I would definitely recommend Edward & his awesome house in Austin. "
5643631,39864017,2015-07-26,9965628,Ashley,The location was great for the stay in ATX. Edward is a great host! Will definitely rent from again. 
5643631,40000450,2015-07-27,38074792,John,Everything was awesome. Neighborhood is really cool. Host did an excellent job of reaching out and making sure everything was set ahead of time!
5643631,40295802,2015-07-29,39237610,Mesay,"Edward proved to be an excellent host. Not only was he able to accommodate us in a timely manner but he also gave us terrific recommendations for restaurants. The apartment was spacious, stylish and conveniently located. Extremely recommended for a short or long stay in Austin"
5643631,40413327,2015-07-30,7836827,Perry  & Mayra,"We drove into Austin from Dallas, during our short ride we quickly and easily booked this house from Edward (We booked it totally last minute). He was polite and very helpful, he left us a list of things to do in Austin. The house was great, secluded (at the end of the street, next to a walking trail) and in a great location of Austin. I would definitely come back again!"
5643631,40977601,2015-08-03,19795133,Susie,"Edward's place is spacious and gorgeous and everything was spotless! He always replied promptly and getting in an out was a breeze. The location is perfect and despite being so close to everything the east side has to offer, the neighborhood was nice and quiet at night. I hope we'll have a chance to come back."
5643631,41669906,2015-08-08,21300439,Chloe,Very responsive and willing to host my colleagues. They felt very at home and loved the space.
5643631,42179948,2015-08-11,38161248,Rosanne,"Edward was very helpful with any questions we had and even made arrangements so we could leave our luggage early in the morning before heading for downtown Austin.
The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for our family stay.
We had a great time in Austin and would certainly return, if we could learn to cope with the heat better!

5643631,43653163,2015-08-21,38870933,John,"Clean house, quiet neighborhood. Right around the corner from a great restaurant - The Launderette. A short Uber drive to anywhere. 


"
5643631,44344473,2015-08-25,40550285,Jessica,"My overall experience was fantastic. I've never done air bnb before and the process was simple.  Edward was very friendly and accommodating with all of my questions.  

The place was clean and the neighborhood was cute.  The beds were also very comfortable. Running, biking, and kayaking are very accessible from here.

The neighborhood also has a lot of cute,trendy places to dine and eat that don't require you having to go into downtown.  You can have fun a walking distance away!  Oh and eat at Launderette, it's delicious!! "
5643631,45139173,2015-08-31,40601338,Nicole,"Description is accurate! Very clean with an Austin-Uniqueness in the decorations and style. It was a short cab ride to the Night life but definitely not walking distance. Some of the house in the neighborhood are a little rundown, but I think that might just be the weirdness of Austin. We felt plenty safe. Would stay again!"
5643631,45536178,2015-09-03,28503676,Melamb4,Great
5643631,46137486,2015-09-08,36891043,Christopher,Quaint little house just outside of downtown. Very functional and great for a weekend getaway. 
5643631,46432276,2015-09-10,4509958,Jacqui,First time staying in East Austin. Great neighbourhood with a cool vibe. Edwards house was the perfect choice to get a real feel for Austin. Looks can be deceiving as the outside is unassuming and doesn't really give away what's inside .  The house is really comfortable and quite funky.  Our 5 days were like being in a home.   Everything we needed was at hand including wifi and cable. Would definitely stay again .
5643631,47080363,2015-09-15,527194,Matt & Dalila,We absolutely loved our stay at Edward's house! The house is absolutely perfect for a small family. We left the kids at home this time and enjoyed every creature comfort by ourselves. The location is perfect! Edward was super accommodating with insights about the neighborhood and things to do in and around Austin. Can't recommend it enough! We'll definitely stay here again.
5643631,47203405,2015-09-16,43102953,Patrick,Really beautiful house by the East Side. Just passing through but was wonderful place to rest and call homebase for an evening in an unfamiliar city. Very communicative host
5643631,47579440,2015-09-20,44202897,Todd,"Edward's place on the eastside was extremely convenient for my 2 days in Austin as I had meetings in the Capitol area.  The cottage is quaint, clean, and convenient.  "
5643631,47664793,2015-09-21,27979864,Sean,"Great stay! The house was exactly what we (myself, my wife, and another couple) needed for a long week in Austin. We attended a festival at Fiesta Gardens and it was a easy walk there and back. Quick Uber rides to downtown from the house. The check-in and check- out process was very simple. The house was setup very nice and perfect for hanging out with friends. Comfy beds and excellent water pressure. Would definitely stay again!"
5643631,48458382,2015-09-26,40599541,Lori,"This home is charming and perfect in every way. Comfortable surroundings, excellent access to the hike and bike trails and the wonderfully vibrant Holly community. I will stay here every time it's available when I come to Austin."
5643631,49271208,2015-10-02,18152978,Sam,"The house was excellent - a great location, a short walk from Cesar Chavez and east 6th streets. The house is really cool, some great artwork and well looked after. The whole experience was spot on. Highly recommended. "
5643631,49774997,2015-10-06,32681553,Tessa,"We had a great time, and couldn't have been more pleased with Edward's awesome house. The location was amazing, the beds were comfortable.. Nice and clean. Absolutely no complaints. You'd be lucky to get a chance to stay there!"
5643631,50745928,2015-10-14,23358415,Meghan,"Home was very comfortable, great location.  Had a few Uber drivers tell us not to walk alone at night, but we never felt uncomfortable in the neighbourhood. Great food trucks and cafe's near by, and a really short drive to some of the best areas in Austin. Edward gave us great tips on what to see/do in the area, we highly recommend the Hamilton Pool!"
5643631,52395449,2015-10-29,19824011,Karen,"I didn't meet the host, but did text him and he was very efficient replying. The neighbourhood was good and very convenient to all we wanted to see and do. "
5643631,52822273,2015-11-02,19804233,Raeder,"Four of us stayed in Edward's place over Halloween weekend 2015. It was convenient location to the freeway, Cesar Chavez, downtown, the river, and South Congress. We had a rental car for the weekend but also walked and Uber'd as well. Inside the house has nice kitchen for fixing breakfast, making coffee, etc. and two rooms with 3 beds (1 queen and 2 singles). The house is small and not updated but the furniture has taste and made us comfortable. Wifi and cable were nice ways to unwind at night and in the morning. I would recommend this location as a place to stay in Austin."
5643631,53205402,2015-11-06,40599541,Lori,"The best Airbnb hosts in Austin, far and away.  This beautiful, airy and cozy bungalow is just a block from Lady Bird Town Lake and is my favorite place to stay when I'm in Austin.  When I was having travel drama due to cancelled and delayed flights, Edward was friendly, sympathetic and left a wonderful bottle of wine in the fridge so I could unwind and shake off the day.  Great neighborhood, quiet street and comfortable through and through."
8531225,48665323,2015-09-27,17608472,Sarah,"Nick was a wonderful host, although I did not get to meet him in person. He upgraded us from the guest house to the main house which was a gorgeous stone cottage. Spotless and very comfortable with quick access to UT and i-35. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm visiting."
8531225,48854032,2015-09-28,45139935,Emily,"A cozy cottage feels tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but right in the heart of the city. Felt at home right away - very clean and nicely appointed with everything I needed and walking/biking distance from so many things. Even better than the pictures!"
8531225,49082782,2015-09-30,40648659,Michael,"Nick was very easy to deal with, quick replies and simple hand over instructions. His place is great! A really nice large studio that is conveniently located in a central spot in the city. Would gladly stay there again!! Loved Austin so it may happen again soon!"
8531225,50733411,2015-10-13,45210304,Teresa,"My mom and I had such an amazing experience staying here ! It was such a treat to stay in Hyde Park and in such a lovely home! It is such a beautiful and cozy space, I seriously did not want to get out of bed in the morning because I was so cozy lol. It was very clean as well. "
8531225,51489321,2015-10-20,42295118,Peggy,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay.  Nick came by, was very cordial and asked us to call him if we needed anything. The place was as posted.  Very clean and very comfortable. We did not cook on this trip but the kitchen was very well equipped and complete.  I would definitely stay here again.  The adjacent strip center was very convenient for groceries or picnic food.  The neighborhood was quiet and very nice and convenient to all Austin.  "
8531225,51833946,2015-10-24,46722416,Valerie,"Nick put us in the main house, and it was so comfy! We really enjoyed the home. The beds were super comfy and we had a blast relaxing in the cottage. Thank you for a great stay!"
8531225,53090894,2015-11-04,46553492,Jon,Nick was immediately available to show us the property.  He was an excellent host.  The room and location was excellent.
8531225,53269791,2015-11-07,17224184,Beth,"Absolutely loved the little cottage. It was clean and comfortable, had everything you could need. Totally relaxing and near to everything. Would definitely return!!"
3791074,28044574,2015-03-16,28836036,Alan,"Great neighborhood and perfect location for what was needed which was quick access to COTA and Austin (by automobile). Renee was incredibly accommodating and the house had many great details that made the stay enjoyable - nice yard/outdoor seating, potted plants, coffee etc. The tour of the house helped us feel at home. Renee worked with us to solve some logistical issues which was greatly appreciated and in general was a pleasure to talk to.

Thank You!"
7094484,37542790,2015-07-07,37492459,Emily,The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7094484,39831659,2015-07-26,38127036,Brian,"Our stay in Austin was one we will ever forget!  John was an excellent host and had tons of great ideas and knowledge of things to do in the area.  His rental space is perfect for couples, very modern, and spacious!  I would recommend his rental space to anyone.  We were very pleased with our visit."
7094484,42195523,2015-08-11,38920825,Taylor,Our host did make us feel welcome. They were prompt in answering the door and had us settled pretty quick. The access to the bungalow was nice and didn't feel like it was intruding on our hosts whenever we came back from the convention. Having things like the mini fridge and Keurig in the room made it easy to have things ready to go for our trips to the convention(such as cold water bottles) and the room had a nice private cozy hotel feel. 
7094484,43132633,2015-08-17,18061445,Paula,John was very attentive.  He showed us to the room and where everything was.  He also helped us with the name of a restaurant we had been to last year. This is a beautiful and quiet area of Austin.  Right off Mopac and close to Lamar.  Downtown was 10 minutes away.  We did walk to the Kerbey Lane Café.  It was very good.  Randall's grocery store was across the street. The pictures are very accurate.  We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
4496516,28176659,2015-03-19,2863547,Eduardo,"Andres was THE BEST host i could have in Austin. He picked me up from the airport, helped me with everything i need and was such a cool guy if I lived in Austin he would definitelly be a good friend of mine."
4496516,31477400,2015-05-05,24771628,Keji,Nice and clean place. Very friendly host. There is some construction work going on in the condo complex so expect street parked cars to get splashed...
4496516,31681835,2015-05-08,1468074,Mac,"Andres is a great host! He went above and beyond what I expected including giving me a tour of the city. He is very knowledgeable about Austin and makes great recommendations that helped me have a great time while I was there. I don't think you could hope for a better host.

Andres' place was perfect for my needs. I was needed a quiet space to work and his place was great for that. It is in a new, nice, gated community that is very safe. The few people I ran into were friendly. The room and washroom were in excellent condition and the bed was comfortable. His place is close to downtown Austin as well. I would definitely stay here again."
4496516,32086531,2015-05-13,7507207,Anneka,"Andres, his place and Austin were all awesome! We felt so at home we didn't want to leave. He showed us round all the good places and we had some great nights out. We will definitely be staying again when we go back one day! The condo is in a gated community and very safe and quiet. The room is very nice with a lovely en suite and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Andres is a very cool host, super chilled but very helpful and knowledgable about the area! "
4496516,33321191,2015-05-26,33607719,Daniel,"I felt very comfortable and welcomed staying at Andres' home.  The place had everything you would need in a place to crash, and it was in a nice gated community.  Would definitely try to hit up Andres again if I needed a place to crash in Austin."

The room was perfect, very cosy, you really feel like home, and the AC works perfectly (yes Austin is WARM).

4496516,35040189,2015-06-14,6347256,Mariela,Andres was an amazing host. Very welcoming and flexible. Very easy to communicate with. The space was very comfortable and clean. Overall a lovely stay. Effortless and fun. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin.
4496516,37113056,2015-07-04,35975467,Dan,"I booked last minute and Andres accommodated me with no problems.  He even waited up late for me to arrive and welcome me to his home.  His place was as exactly as described, extremely clean and upscale.  Would recommend Andres to anyone.
"
4496516,37527526,2015-07-07,24980205,Josh,"Great host, great home! Wouldn't hesitate to come back and stay here if we are ever in Austin again! Shared lots of local knowledge on the area and the room is extremely comfortable and clean. "
4496516,39888499,2015-07-26,22157175,Ruth,Staying with Andres was great! He was gracious enough to let us book last minute and was accommodating when we arrived late due to traffic. The room was nice and clean. The bed was firm which was great for us after a long day of Austin sightseeing. The attached private bathroom was also very nice. We didn't see Andres much as we were out sightseeing most of the time but he was always very responsive via text. We would definitely recommend his place to anyone!
4496516,42426673,2015-08-13,13477933,Lutfi,I stayed with my father at Andres place for 19 day. Andres was an amazing host. he informed us about Austin and even gave us a ride to near by supermarkets and restaurants. the apartment is very nice in a very nice community and an amazing pool. easily accessible by bus to different areas in the cities. I recommend Andres place for anyone and would like to visit again.
4496516,45535331,2015-09-03,22813082,Paul,Andres' home was very comfortable and in a nice and convenient part of town. He was a welcoming host and we would definitely recommend staying here.
4496516,46099435,2015-09-07,15912305,Yassira,"Andres was able to accommodate my stay last minute, which was awesome. When I got to the place, Andres was there to greet me. The room was simple and super clean! Had the chance to also hang out with Andres for a bit. Really cool individual. You can even book him for a gig as he also DJs around Austin ;) Will definitely recommend to others! "
4496516,47539622,2015-09-20,18225719,Erin,"Very clean room and hospitable host! Fresh sheets and towels, and nothing out of place. A great ""home base"" if you're visiting Austin and touring during the day. "
4496516,47914136,2015-09-21,19310137,Brittany,Awesome experience. Andres was very courteous of our last minute stay. He provided us some awesome places to go to while we were there. Highly recommend!!
4496516,49616223,2015-10-05,7967344,Sasha,"Andres was really nice and picked me up from the airport. He was super friendly and immediately made me feel welcome. He had fruits and food ready.  He offered his Netflix and HBO Go. He drove me to the bike rental shop, and had great recommendations in Austin and kept me in the loop on all the fun things happening that weekend. The room was really clean, spacious and comfortable. The adjoining bathroom was a great asset. The neighborhood is gated, safe and quiet. It's close to the airport and South Congress/downtown areas. I was able to bike to most places."
4496516,50624565,2015-10-13,39154723,Naomi,Andres and his place were great! I'd definitely stay again. I was in town for ACL and he even drove us down to the park one day (MUCH appreciated). He was knowledgeable about the area and didn't mind us coming and going as various times. The room was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. He provided toiletries as well. All around a great experience!
4496516,51510433,2015-10-20,39643659,Jesse,"Andres is a great host.  He met us when we arrived, and gave us our key.  He keeps his house very nice!  The neighborhood was gated and very modern.  We had no issues at all with the location... convenient to downtown and close to major highways on the south side of town.  Andres was friendly, but he respected our privacy.  He gave us his number in case of any emergency.  Definitely would recommend staying here!  Cheers!"
4496516,51929671,2015-10-25,1319318,Ali,"I was visiting Austin for a conference and this was a perfect place to stay! Quick drive to downtown, with a nice private bedroom/bathroom. I would not hesitate to recommend Andres' place if you are looking for an affordable room near downtown!"
4496516,52272771,2015-10-27,46491856,Carlene,"Andres made me feel very welcome, all this even though in the midst of the busy F1 weekend we didn't get to meet. He was very helpful even before I arrived with hints and tips about clothing to bring for the Austin weather. His place is very neat, in a complex where I felt quite safe.  It is as advertised quite close to downtown Austin. To put it simply I felt quite at home and recommend that anyone considering a visit to Austin should consider Andres' space. Well done and thank you Andres! "
2030700,9209981,2013-12-13,10524019,Morgan,"Last week I traveled to Austin for a business conference. I give two thumbs up to Erik and Alexa's house in central Austin! Their house was close to downtown, super clean, and really homey. I especially enjoyed relaxing on their front patio, which overlooks their front yard. The room I stayed in was nice, had a lot of daylight and an extremely comfortable bed. I had better sleep in that bed than I do at my own home! During my stay I went out and explored Austin, and Alexa was really helpful with recommendations of where to eat and what to see. Her and Erik were super friendly, along with their adorable little dog and two cats. I would definitely come back and stay here anytime. Thanks for the hospitality Erik and Alexa!"
2030700,9730570,2014-01-06,3212859,Melissa,Alexa and Erik were incredible hosts. They were very generous with their time. We felt very welcomed and plan to stay with them again soon. The house and room were exactly as described. Our dog fell in love with their dog. It was the perfect trip. Can't really say enough about their hospitality.
2030700,10415306,2014-02-17,1653979,John,"Alexa and Erik were awesome!!  They graciously accepted our reservation the night before we were coming into town, and were still perfectly accommodating!  They were also very flexible with the check in and check out times, which was very much appreciated :D  They both have great personalities and are really easy to get along with.  Their house was very clean, and they had 2 cute cats and an adorable dog, and all their animals are super friendly, even the cats!  Even with their pets, the house was clean in that you wouldn't know they had any animals, no smell or anything, they're really on top of being great hosts!  The bed they had for us was really comfortable, and they were really easy going about giving us a spare key and letting us come and go at our leisure.  They had some good tips on where to go around Austin, and they even invited us to hang out with them if we didn't have plans, which definitely speaks highly of their character.  Overall, we had an awesome stay there, the price was great, Alexa and Erik were really easy to talk to and get along with, and we would definitely stay with them again!  "
2030700,10562251,2014-02-24,12458118,Haldre,"We made a last-minute reservation (Friday night for a Saturday night stay), and Alexa and Erik were out of town already, but Alexa had a neighbor leave a key for us and she checked in via text to make sure we were all set. The house is easy to find (right off the highway), nicely laid out, and comfortable. It's in close driving-distance to S. First St, S. Congress, Zilker Park etc. And there's a great yard for the dog to play in. We didn't get to meet Alexa and Erik, but they seem like great people and Alexa was really responsive on email/text. Thanks Alexa and Erik! "
2030700,17991703,2014-08-19,16383185,Zach,"Alexa and Eric were wonderful hosts. They accommodated me last minute with a large dog to boot.  When I showed up they invited me to the end of a party they were hosting and made me feel completely at home. They were full of tips about Austin and made my visit really pleasant. Also, their home is lovely and clean and the room I stayed in was very comfortable.  All around a great experience. "
2030700,18382277,2014-08-25,16483645,Andriana,"Me, my husband, and our dog Paul booked with Alexa and had a wonderful experience. The home was clean and quiet. The location was perfect for a short 5-10 minute drive to any of the cool downtown areas. They have two adorable cats that got along well with our dog. I would definitely recommend."
2030700,18855692,2014-09-01,17931518,Christian,"We, three German students, spent one long weekend in Austin, staying at Alexa’s place. As they were on holiday we had the whole house for ourselves and but even when they arrived on Sunday night, there was enough space for all five of us and we still felt very welcome. The projector is awesome to watch movies on and the little swing on the veranda is nice to hang out and chat at night. The level of cleanness was all in all not meeting our expectations, but as they probably didn’t prepare for guests that might not be the usual case. Also, when booking a house where two cats are at home you should be aware of the fact that cats make a mess from time to time. 
All in all we had a nice weekend and enjoyed staying at the place, thanks!"
2030700,19246460,2014-09-08,9578928,Richard,"Alexa and Eric, hosts, friendly and accommodating. Traveled single, stayed 3 days, comfortable and pleasant. Location in south, slightly west Austin, is very close to major highway, US 71.  Loved it!"
2030700,20064213,2014-09-22,1098499,Guido,"great host , great location! thanks for all "
2030700,21987474,2014-10-27,2415414,Thomas,Alexa and her husband were perfect host. I would recommend them to everybody very highly. We had a great stay in there very cute and super clean house
2030700,22242918,2014-11-02,19112511,Stuart,"An all around wonderful experience. The home was neat, comfortable, and adorable. In other words, we felt at home, and welcome, the moment we walked in the door. Alexa and Erik were great hosts, fun to engage in conversation, both shared a playful sense of humor, offered great suggestions for places to eat, and were absolutely charming. I love animals, so sharing the house with two cats and a dog, all of them playful, loving and very friendly, was an added bonus. I would jump at the opportunity to stay with Alexa and Erik if I return to Austin. Thank you both for a superb Grand Prix weekend."
2030700,22675818,2014-11-11,22583224,Kloe,"My boyfriend and I spent a week with Alexa and Erik in their beautiful Austin home and we were thrilled with our experience. For the duration of our stay both Alexa and Erik went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and ""at home"". As first timers to the city, our hosts were extremely helpful, offering us plenty advice on how to get around and what places to check out.  The private room which was made available to us was spacious and spotless. We were granted full use of the kitchen and bathroom areas, it was a pleasure to cook in their kitchen, it's fantastic! To add to that, public transport around the city was super easy with two main bus lines very close to their home and nice coffee/breakfast cafés surrounding their area. I would highly recommend booking with them to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable and affordable place to stay in Austin!  "
2030700,23278926,2014-11-27,11396034,Jeffery,"Alexa & Eric are fantastic people. If you're wondering what Austin living might be like, this is a nice perspective. I was working on this trip and found no problem getting work done or keeping some off hours. The internet is fast. The place clean and comfortable. Easy access to downtown area. Nice pets. Just one bathroom but everyone was courteous about use and was never an issue. Can't beat the value and chance to meet cool folks."
2030700,23564947,2014-12-04,15475826,Denise,"From the moment I walked in I felt welcome!  Alexa and Erik are warm, bright, friendly, and such a sweet couple.  They both greeted me and Alexa showed me around.

I was particularly interested in the different maps on their walls, especially the one tracking their road trips.  I loved discussing routes and hearing about their travels!  They also have a cool map of Austin, so Alexa gave me a great rundown of the neighborhoods.  She and Erik both filled me in on a variety of local upcoming events as well.

Their house is in a really nice tucked away neighborhood yet close to all the action of SoCo and also the beautiful Barton Creek Greenbelt.  Parking right next to the front door makes unloading luggage easy.

The room itself is comfortable and spacious with wood floors and large windows letting in plenty of natural light.  There's a desk which is perfect for working or writing, and a chair by the windows for reading and relaxing.  Walls are decorated with amazing photographs from beautiful locations.

Speaking of photos, one of my favorite things about their place is the ribbons of photos in the hallway.  They are filled with family, friends, special moments, exotic destinations, and capture so much joy and love.

Another great thing you'll find is an entire drawer full of teas.  Once you've picked a tea then you have a wide variety of animal mugs to choose from! :)  So many fun touches like this are sprinkled throughout their home.

I don't want to neglect mentioning their extended furry family!  Xena, Tiberius, and Xerxes are so loving and sweet.  They were a such pleasure to have around.

Regretfully I didn't try out the hammock or the projector.  So cool!"
2030700,23620895,2014-12-06,24522209,Jessica,"The Lokens were awesome hosts!  My friend and I booked their space last minute, and they were totally accommodated our late night arrival.  The bed was amazingly soft, and the space was perfect size.  Never had a problem with sharing a bathroom.  Would definitely recommend this to anyone making a trip out to Austin!"
2030700,25932794,2015-01-30,12332750,Wayne,"Although Alexa was away, I had a very pleasant visit at their house.    The house is clean, convenient and cute.  The cats are wonderful and made it feel like home.   I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin."
2030700,26469134,2015-02-13,3483360,Tayler,I had a great time staying with Alexa and Erik. They were very friendly and their home was very comfortable. They're pets were also lovely!
2030700,26770919,2015-02-18,19312507,Elizabeth,"Alexa and Erik's place is absolutely adorable and they were super welcoming and accommodating. The quintessential airbnb hosts!! Very friendly and happy to have me hang out with them or do my own thing. Their neighborhood is close to some of the most fun parts of Austin, but quiet and quaint enough for a good night's sleep and a pleasant run in the morning too. They have two cats and two dogs, so this place is especially ideal if you like animals. All of the pets are very well-behaved and their house is super clean. I wish I could have stayed longer in their cute little Austin bungalow!"
2030700,27912327,2015-03-14,24568967,Laura,"Alexa and Eric were super welcoming and lovely from the beginning of the air bnb process, especially considering we had to book an extra night at the very last minute!! Thankfully they made our little last minute heart flutter of boarding a plane to a city we had booked accommodation for the next night as easy as pie! The room was very spacious and comfortable, and the entire house is just lovely. The cats and dogs also made it feel very homely and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying with Alexa and Eric to anyone considering coming to Austin!"
2030700,28232700,2015-03-20,29219150,Kangyi,Alexa was out of town but her husband was at home and gave us a warm welcome. The bed was comfortable and it's very convenient to go to downtown!
2030700,28850078,2015-03-30,10662821,Chelsea,"Alexa and her husband were amazing hosts.  The house was adorable and close enough to anywhere we needed to go in Austin.  Super close to South Congress but not too far from downtown either.

Alexa made us feel right at home and invited us to hang out with them while at the same time giving us all the space we needed.  The house was very well maintained and clean (I am allergic to cats but was not bothered at all because they kept the space so well vacuumed).  

When I come back to Austin, I will definitely try to book Alexa's place again if it's available.  "
2030700,29244333,2015-04-05,19933938,Jasmine,"Alexa and Erik's house is adorable, clean, and the pets, and the people living in it, are wonderful. Alexa and Erik gave us really great recommendations for places to go, things to do and people to see. We had brought our dog and they gave us great suggestions for enjoying Austin with our pets. We enjoyed our time with them and hope to come again. "
2030700,30909859,2015-04-28,17868333,Jessalyn,"Super cute house, super cute pets, clean, cozy room! Alexa and her partner were very welcoming and provided suggestions on what to see and do in Austin. Their house is conveniently located but having a car for going back and forth to SoCo and downtown was helpful. "
2030700,32660923,2015-05-19,14156984,Thomas,"This is a cool place in a very cool city! The bungalow is located in a close to everything, quiet neighborhood and I had no trouble getting to where I needed to go. Alexa and her mate are super friendly and nice people. I would surely make an effort to stay there again next time I'm in town."
2030700,33011107,2015-05-24,11405572,Cris,Stayed an extra night and was very thankful for the lovely stay :)
2030700,33186731,2015-05-25,11405572,Cris,"Alexa and Erik were most accommodating. Both they and their family of adorable pets (calypso, xena, tiberius, and xerxes) were extremely friendly and courteous. They had great communication both before and throughout the stay and offered some wonderful recommendations for our trip.
The room itself is very spacious with a large and comfy bed and the Lokens were very mindful to keep noise levels low when we were resting.
I would definitely stay with them again and want to thank them for the wonderful trip!"
2030700,33346595,2015-05-26,18522175,Leah,"Alexa and Eric were incredibly welcoming and sweet. They made us feel right at home and were great to chat with. The location is great, and we would have definitely extended our stay if we could have."
2030700,36909177,2015-07-02,1585232,Jesse,"Alexa and Erik were great hosts! We loved their house - gorgeous wooden floors that don't creak, tons of natural light everywhere - including our room. Impressively clean, especially considering there were four animals and four humans hanging out for a whole week. Super convenient location right on 290 and in South Austin. Tiberus the cat was extra cuddly and we had a good time hanging out with all the animals. Wouldn't recommend it for anyone who wants to sleep in - the dogs bark around 9am, but we didn't have any trouble with it. We had a very comfortable week =)

We'd love to stay here again!"
2030700,38082365,2015-07-12,11092241,Melisa,"Alexa and Erik are welcoming, fun hosts.  Their home is very comfortable.  The private room is perfect--sunny, clean, and quiet.  South Austin is laid-back and a good launching point to get to Zilker Park and downtown/campus area.  Easy to use public transportation from here!  "
2030700,38964860,2015-07-19,22103216,Truong,"Alexa and Erik were very nice and welcomed us to their house. The description is accurate. The room is big, comfortable and the bathroom is next door. The house is cozy, warm with a lot of sunlight. We love staying there a lot. They have 2 cats and 2 dogs and my daughter had a lot of fun playing with them. We'll definitely stay there again when we come to Austin"
2030700,40872477,2015-08-02,11983619,Ana,My boyfriend and I enjoyed staying with Alexa. The bed was super comfortable and the room was clean. They were very nice about accommodating my canine companion. Both their cats and dogs were super friendly and well cared for. Perfect place to stay for pet lovers and close to downtown!
2030700,49457633,2015-10-04,11174892,Katherine,"My family and I loved our stay at Alexa and Ben's! Quaint, clean, and lovely home - I slept on the couch, while my family took the bedroom. It was very comfortable!! We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and will come back if we're back in Austin! The hosts were very friendly and we got along well. We had a great experience - highly recommend!"
2030700,50345857,2015-10-11,12337257,Chema,"I stayed at Alexa's and Eric's place with my sister, brother in law, and their dog. Everything was great. We felt completely comfortable during our entire stay. Alexa wasn't in town but she responded very quickly to my messages before arriving. Once we got into town, Eric made sure everything was ready for our stay. Their dogs and cats are very friendly and got along with my sister's dog just fine. I'd stay at their place again no questions asked. 5/5!"
2030700,51228438,2015-10-18,27077821,Ashley,"Awesome experience!! The house was so cute and comfortable. Location was great as well, we'd absolutely stay again. "
4088930,21455556,2014-10-17,5229305,Marc-Antoine,The reservation was canceled 151 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4088930,21998555,2014-10-27,22764981,Seth,"Merita was a fantastic host.  She has an extensive love of Austin and a very detailed guide book of cool place to see and where to eat.  My friend and I took one of her recommendations and loved the food and coffee there.

Her house is in a very cool neighborhood and her street is literally brand new.  Plus her place was spotless.  It's about a $10 cab to 6th street (and a little closer to the cool East side places to eat and drink).  I would absolutely stay there again on my next trip to Austin.  "
4088930,22348017,2014-11-03,6431739,Trevor,"Merita was very accommodating for our last-minute trip to Austin. When she heard it was my girlfriend's birthday, she offered her expertise for places to celebrate and was generous enough to provide a bottle of wine! She was very organized, and her place was extremely clean. There was even a binder filled with her recommendations for interesting sights, restaurants, and bars. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend staying with Merita!"
4088930,26956045,2015-02-22,24345372,Jennifer,Merita was the best host ever! Her place is beautiful and located close to everything. She was extremely friendly and thoughtful. She welcomed us with a card and a 6 pack from a local brewing co. We had such a great time in Austin and a large part of that was due to her hospitality. I would highly recommend staying with her.
4088930,27337262,2015-03-02,4642151,Kai,This place was very modern and comfortable. Everything was perfectly clean. Merita was in full communication the entire time and very accommodating. She even left a nice bottle of wine for us on arrival. Would definitely stay again
4088930,27543256,2015-03-07,807914,Nishant,"Really great house - modern, airy, spacious. Merita was a very welcoming host - provided really well for us, and gave us all the privacy we needed while checking in to make sure that we were well taken care of. Neighborhood is nice and up-and-coming - lots of cool restaurants and bars, but still quiet near her house. Will definitely come back here if we're back in Austin!"
4088930,28126640,2015-03-18,1778715,Kathinka,Merita's place was very nice and Merita was really friendly and helpful and made my stay great! Her place is a little out of the city centre but it was very easy to hop into a Uber/Lyft or borrow her bike. The bike ride into town is flat and easy to do. I would be happy to stay with her again if I go back to Austin :)
4088930,28902062,2015-03-31,3760168,Greg,"We arrived and were welcomed with a greeting sign, a six pack of local Austin beer and a binder full of suggested activities to participate in around the city. Merita introduced herself with a warm smile and made sure she was always available via text throughout the trip. I loved the house and really felt at home. "
4088930,29226476,2015-04-05,7575992,Samuel,Great stay in a great house. The bed had to be the best I have slept in many a year. Friendly and informative host. Would recommend. 
4088930,29853187,2015-04-13,25611676,Apryl,We had a delightful time in Austin. Merita provided a wonderful space for us to feel at home. She was even kind enough to have some local beer ready for us when we got there. It is beautiful modern home. She left us a book with many tips on food entertainment and transportation. It is close enough to town to easily access the nightlife. But yet far enough out that you get the true local experience.  Thank you!!!
4088930,30305978,2015-04-20,22777357,Libby,"Merita's house is a new, clean, clutterfree , spacious house in a nice, safe residential area. Not far from the downtown area where all our festivities were going on. She was very sweet and left us champagne and wine for our son's wedding celebration. We would definitely stay there again! "
4088930,31414763,2015-05-04,14595512,Estefania,"Merita's place was perfect for my one-night stay in Austin. It was spacious, clean, in a nice neighborhood and not too far from downtown. Although I didn't meet her personally, she was very attentive and available if I had questions. Her guidebook was super helpful. I booked this room very impromptu, but i could not have planned a better lodging experience. "
4088930,32131458,2015-05-14,28646931,Martin,"We had as great time in Austin and that was largely down to Merita. A very knowledgeable and kind host, she made us feel at ease in both her home and city!"
4088930,33124790,2015-05-25,351509,Nina,"When we arrived Merita had a bottle of Champagne waiting for us on the table with a little Binder of things we could do while we were in town. That was so helpful for us because we didn't spend too much time researching what to do while we were in Austin. 

Her place is GORGEOUS! I can't say that enough. I wish my home was as beautiful as hers. The location was great. Close to downtown, Rainey St. and local restaurants. 

Overall our stay with Merita was great. We were rarely home but when we both were we didn't get in each others way. It honestly felt like we had the whole house to ourselves. 

Great Experience. Would stay again. "
4088930,33856284,2015-06-01,14139044,Carrie,"Merita's place was lovely. We were greeted with a bottle of champaign, and some very refreshing air conditioning.  We had the entire upstairs to ourselves and the choice of two bedrooms. The place is super clean and the bed was super comfortable! We took ubers and lyfts from Merita's place to get around and most rides were between $5 and $8. Really great place, would recommend!

"
4088930,34372305,2015-06-07,12148002,Cathryn,Super cute place on the east side. Really close to all kinds of great bars and restaurants. Merita is a fantastic and laid back host. Thank you !
4088930,36628833,2015-06-29,30083931,Zoran And Steph,"Merita's house is gorgeous and we felt very lucky to be able to stay! It is in a quiet, safe street - great if you have a car, if not Uber will get you into town for $6-$8. The bed and room were very comfortable and all facilities were modern and new. Didn't get to meet Merita until our last day - but she kept in touch throughout the stay. She was so lovely and recommended heaps of great places - wish we had the time to see them all. Hope to be back one day! Thank you for sharing your house with us Merita! :-)"
4088930,37015535,2015-07-03,5768242,Jada,Merita is amazing! If you want a 5 star host. This is your place. I was greeted by Merita with a bottle of red wine immediately upon arrival. She even carried my heavy bag up to the room- I'm from that South and that is pure great hosting. We talked for a very long time- she told me of interesting things in the city ( cool book she has on this btw) and she told me about her awesome career. I would absolutely recommend staying here. It truly is a cool and very hip place!! 
4088930,38265590,2015-07-14,1215380,Annie,"Merita was a great host and her home was lovely and welcoming, well decorated and very clean. The guest rooms are upstairs and my room was spacious with very comfortable bed. Room is quiet and very private. The location is great too just 10 mins from airport and easy to get around. Merita was friendly and hospitable which made my stay very comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a very comfortable home stay experience.  "
4088930,40036401,2015-07-27,39040347,Maddie,Merita was an excellent host. She was very organized prior to check in. She made sure get to know me and my likes prior to arriving. She gave my boyfriend and I recommendations on things to do in Austin. Upon arrival she had a binder of things to do and she even had a cake for my boyfriend's birthday. Her house was in perfect condition. The only thing I wish could have been different was meeting Merita. Both of our schedules were so busy that we never got a chance to meet. I definitely recommend her home to anyone traveling. She is an amazing host!
4088930,46520287,2015-09-11,41476324,Travis,Fantastic host and comfy cool space in a lovely area. Merita is the best!

4557719,27047115,2015-02-24,5697155,Holly,"The place is really nice, and not far from some of the best east side bars and restaurants. Mike and his roommates are very friendly and hospitable. He supplied shampoo, and extra towels. We even watched the oscars together!"
4557719,31098628,2015-05-02,9691803,Jill,We had a great time in Austin. The room was nice and Mike was a friendly host! Great location to all the fun activities on East 6th Street. Would stay here again!
4557719,31755096,2015-05-09,10104107,John,"I stayed here for five nights while I was in town to attend a music festival in Austin.  Long story short, I would stay here again!  Very friendly and accomodating host (and roommates), nice big room and bed, and great location that's not super-far from downtown Austin."
4557719,32093051,2015-05-13,10104107,John,"Technically, I stayed with Mike on two separate occasions, but it was actually a single stay over five nights, with one night booked first and then the next four nights booked in a separate reservation.  I'll just say what I said before:  he was a great host, it was a great room, and it was a great location relatively close to downtown.  I'd stay with him again!"
4557719,33187716,2015-05-25,12291632,Matthew,We loved our stay in East Auction.  Everything was as described.  Very pleased with the experience overall.  Mike was great.  Thanks.
4557719,49391014,2015-10-03,37666385,Lucy,"Mike and his housemates were lovely people to stay with - very friendly and accommodating. The room is enormous, clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect - walking distance to the most up and coming restaurants, bars, cafes and shops, as well as an easy walk to the Capitol, university and Congress Street. We had a wonderful time here in Austin and can't wait to come back! Thank you! "
4557719,49893314,2015-10-07,25769529,Craig,"Location is pretty good, you can easily walk to d/town, State Capitol etc. or catch a bus nearby. The room was clean."
4557719,50645246,2015-10-13,42945287,Carlos,"Thank you very much Airbnb for this perfect experience: the house it's was so cozy, clean, relaxing, comfortable, too close to downtown, very nice people, all the atmosphere so nice. Everything in his right place, very recommendable for people to love make new friends. "
4557719,52116163,2015-10-26,920533,Alex,"Great place to stay! The bed was comfortable, Mike and his roommates were very friendly, and the house is near some good places to eat and bike stations to get into the city. I'd stay here again."
8035781,49412630,2015-10-03,45108219,Paul,"Emily was a gratious and charming host as well as being a great conversationalist, she was informative on the city and treated us very well.

The room was as expected and we had the fortune to find a care package of wine and some snacks awaiting us on arrival which I thought was a very nice touch. 

Everything else was as expected, overall a great place to stay and I would definitely stay again"
8035781,50581065,2015-10-12,6078833,Shanthi,"I had an awesome time staying with Emily. She was very helpful with all my needs, I love that she provides a snack & a bottle of wine for the guests . She gave info on the city and very hands on to make sure my trip for ACL was very pleasant. The room was very clean and comfortable. I would stay with her again!"
8035781,51397537,2015-10-19,23398416,Nichole,"I stayed with Emily and her husband this past weekend. It was both my first air b&b experience, as well as my first time in Austin, so I was a little nervous. Before arriving, Emily reached out and offered to pick me up at the airport. Once in Austin, she made sure I had everything I needed, even offering a ride to pick up anything. Once at the house, after a quick tour, she showed me the room. It's bright, clean, and the sofa bed is very comfortable-I slept soundly my whole stay. The room also comes with a key so you can lock it while out and about. I didn't see much of her and her husband over the weekend as I had a wedding and she was working, but she made sure to check on me throughout the weekend to make sure all was well. Overall, this was a great experience and Emily made my trip so comfortable. I highly recommend for anyone who wants somewhere to stay that's quiet but still close to downtown. I'd definitely stay again if I find myself back in Austin!"
8035781,52075644,2015-10-26,38937736,Casey,Comfortable neighborhood only 10-15 minutes from downtown. She and her husband were very accommodating. The room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. I would certainly stay here again. 
2059714,29970772,2015-04-15,7698055,Patricia,"This was a great place to stay in Austin.  I could tell a lot of thought went into it making it a very welcoming environment.   Since I was on an extended business trip I stayed for a month, and felt very much at home.  Good cookware and dishes, a really comfy bed, nice shower and a terrific location makes this a place I will stay at again next time I'm in Austin.  "
2059714,30464380,2015-04-22,30092017,Reine,"Ann was a wonderful host, quick to respond and answer any questions I had during the booking process, very organized and  giving us detailed information making our arrival seamless.  During our stay she was available by phone and again very responsive. The apartment was as described, cosy with quality furnishings, very clean and well equipped. The location is perfect in a residential pocket, very green, so quiet at night and yet so connected to everything. It was great because after a day/evening of being around we would drive into the neighborhood from S Lamar, which is very busy, and enter this peaceful oasis. This was my first visit to Austin and staying at Treetop Suite made a significant positive impact to our visit. Should we be back I would definitely look to stay here again.  "
2059714,39946188,2015-07-27,3704188,Sophie,"Ann replied to my inquiries promptly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Treetop Suite. It is most comfortable and pleasing surroundings. The neighborhood is delightful and quiet. The kitchen is fully stocked and everything was in working order. Frankly, it was the best AirBNB I have stayed in to this date. I plan to stay again when visiting Austin in the future. Thanks, Ann"
4517951,28319187,2015-03-22,25911520,Jackeline,"Stephen was a great host and make us feel at home in Austin. He is a careful person that helped us in everything that we needed. The house is cozy and big, the bedroom is very comfortable and has nice bed. This was our first time in the city for the SXSW and we recommend Stephen's house for people who want a nice experience in Austin."
1749861,8102079,2013-10-15,1415450,Elvialuz,"Sharon was a great host. She is her friendly and accomedating. As soon as we arrived she welcomed us and let us know of all the facilities that were avaiable to us.  The room is great because there is a large queen bed and a pull out sofa. 


Thanks Sharon! "
1749861,8931304,2013-11-26,3709576,Antonio,"My stay with Sharon was very pleasant and comfortable! I stayed at one of her guest rooms for four weeks while at a consulting job in Austin, and I enjoyed it every day! Her house is located in a really nice part of town - quiet, surrounded by trees and passerby deers - yet only two blocks away from a main road (Bee Cave). Trader Joe's is quite close by (Sharon will tell you all about it!). Zilker Park is at arguably walking distance (1.4 miles), though for comfort around Austin, one really needs the use of a car.

I always found my bedroom, the living room, the bathroom, and the kitchen tidy. I always found all the cooking instruments I needed in the kitchen, and plenty of reading material around the house. Conversations with Sharon, however, are among the most interesting things you'll find at her place. You'll see!"
1749861,9274963,2013-12-17,889616,Cameron,"While I didn't get to spend much time at Sharon's it was exactly what I was looking for. A quiet, convenient place to rest my head. Sharon is a kind person with good stories and a strong listener. The place was more like staying at a hostel than someone's home with the fact that she has several rooms to let. It gave a lovely community feel. I'll not hesitate to sleep there again, should I vist Austin again."
1749861,10441345,2014-02-18,12097764,Katie,"I had a great stay with Sharon. Her place was perfect for my folks and I. My favorite part was the outdoor patio. When we first arrived, we sat outside and enjoyed the company of the chickens. Being out of towners, we're not accustomed to chicken coups in the backyard. Sharon's backyard is very peaceful, and the giant buck wandering through add to the experience. Sharon is a really great host. I was happy to have a subject matter expert on the area to help out with my stay in Austin. She is definitely a people person and will treat you more like family than a guest, which I loved! I would rather stay with her than in a hotel any time I travel to Austin again!"
1749861,10921586,2014-03-13,3130316,Matteo,"We stayed at Sharon's place during the craziness of SXSW so we didn't have much time to enjoy the quiet liveliness of her house aside from early mornings and late nights. She's been a very helpful and generous host by the way, always looking for nice chances for giving us suggestions, having conversations and sharing experiences both with us and the other guests. Location is really good and well-served with stores and bus stop for downtown just a 5-minute walk away (but be careful if you plan to stay out late as buses don't run after 10pm approximately, so you could need to look for a cab). Our room was ok, maybe a bit small for 2 people, but definitely worth its price."
1749861,11074579,2014-03-19,11837578,Lisa,"I had a very nice stay in Austin. Sharon was providing a nice room for little money, especially compared to other accommodation during the SXSW. On top there's always tea, coffee and fresh fruits for free.
Sharon is a truely kind person, always helpful when I needed something and it seems easy for her to make you feel home. Thanks for having me. Maybe see you next year. "
1749861,11294247,2014-03-28,13537573,Santhosh,"Sharon's a perfect host. The place is in a very mature and safe neighborhood. Room was clean, quite and with shared bathroom. Other house mates I met were professional and friendly. I highly recommend this."
1749861,11389502,2014-03-31,13616368,Emily,"We were there for one night and our stay was great. Sharon went well out of her way to accommodate us. Plus, she's really interesting to talk to. "
1749861,11815414,2014-04-15,60040,Paul,Pleasant visit.  Fresh eggs for breakfast from chickens in the back yard!!
1749861,11932228,2014-04-19,13812883,Martha,"If you're looking for a lived-in environment that reminds you of home, this is the place. Sharon is extremely welcoming and encourages guests to relax and mingle while lounging in the living room or hanging out in the kitchen. Though a bit unkempt - the yard needs weeding and the house needs some small repairs, i.e. the patio door sticks, curtains rods rest on finishing nails (a curtain fell on me while I was using the can) - my daughter and I felt completely comfortable during out stay. Bring your own food (and coffee), which can be stored in a shared refrigerator and don't feel shy about using the kitchen - everybody does. Depending upon the amount of guests, you may have to park in the yard along the street and under trees (I was told that some people don't like this), and be aware the other guests' schedules since you share a bathroom. FYI...the house is located on the edge of a safe, upscale neighborhood and very near to many Austin attractions."
1749861,13106322,2014-05-19,15144020,Tomas,Sharon's is on beautiful place on the top of the hill. Amazing nature is around and sometimes you can see deer in her garden. Sharon is very friendly and helpful with everything you need. So glad I can stay in her house. Tomas Prchlik. 
1749861,17747489,2014-08-17,15307726,Jo,"Sharon is a wonderful hostess and very attentive to her guests needs. The place was nice and located in a fancy neighborhood next to Zilker Park. Don't worry about staying with other people. All the people I met were very nice and friendly. I would recommend this place to other people, and I would stay again, if I'm back in Austin. "
1749861,18045114,2014-08-20,17651092,Dan,"Sharon was great. She was very kind and accommodated my needs quite flexibly. She's really an excellent host. The room is one of several in a communal-style living arrangement. You get the room to yourself and share bathrooms and the kitchen with up to five other guests. It wasn't really my style of living, but if you're okay with that, it was really nice. It's also about a 10-15 minute walk to a bus stop and grocery store, so if you don't have a car, this place is an option, although the area isn't particularly pedestrian-friendly. Also, it's in a wooded area so if you're not okay with the occasional bug, it probably isn't best for you."
1749861,20293254,2014-09-27,20205706,Bartosz,"Sharon was very nice and friendly, she even picked me up from the airport when I arrived, helped me to find my feet in the new surroundings in Austin. It was a great stay for me, I felt very relaxed at Sharon's house. She treats her guests naturally and is an easy-going person. I definitely recommend this place to people who like nice atmosphere and good location - so I guess to everyone:P"
1749861,20810810,2014-10-06,13578922,Austin,My best AirBnB host to date! Sharon is an incredible person full of hospitality. I'll be booking with her again 
1749861,21322439,2014-10-14,22266979,Kim,"Sharon was a wonderful hostess .  My daughter and I learned a lot about Austin that we never would have found out without her.  She recommended a fabulous  breakfast place (Magnolia's) and gave us many tips. Her home is very close to Zilker Park, and in a very nice neighborhood.  We would stay again!"
1749861,21371412,2014-10-15,9616915,Brian,I enjoyed my conversations with Sharon and her husband. I felt at home and was excited about the location. I slept peacefully and was tempted to stay an extra night. I plan to return soon. Thank you for yet another nice experience.
1749861,21721848,2014-10-22,16955631,Andrew,"Sharon made my first AirBnb experience a great one. She went out of her way to make me feel at home, and her place is comfortable and conveniently located. Would highly recommend!"
1749861,22114118,2014-10-30,22348039,Soud,"Sharon is an excellent and hospitable host. Very friendly and honest and tries her best to make you feel at home. The home is clean and is in a very upscale neighborhood just outside of downtown. I slept in the room with the bedloft and it was very comfortable. Overall, great experience and I recommend staying with Sharon when you are in Austin.  "
1749861,22404540,2014-11-05,22277780,Kai,"Everything was cool, Sharon was very helpful. The area is nice and quiet, but there are plenty of shops just around the corner. If I am back in Austin I will stay here again."
1749861,22608961,2014-11-10,15180361,Robert,"Thanks to Sharon for a great place to stay on our trip to Austin. As soon as we arrived, she was very welcoming and told us all about things to do in the area. She gave us great recommendations for things to see and we enjoyed her back yard! She also accommodated us when our plans change at the last minute."
1749861,22939305,2014-11-17,20822167,Dov,"Once again Sharon was very gracious to me and my family. She made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The room was clean and the beds were warm and cozy.

Thanks again Sharon. A+++"
1749861,24207391,2014-12-22,20822167,Dov,Sharon and Petr once again outdid themselves. Their hospitality made me and my family so welcome and comfortable. Thank you. As always.
1749861,24800562,2015-01-02,11390456,Alina,"Sharon was super accommodating and very sweet. The best thing about staying there was we could check in anytime because there is a key-less entrance. Sharon provided all the necessary info for us to get in and find our way around. My only issue was the whole house could have been cleaner, bathrooms included. Our room with the bunk bed wasn't the coziest but some of the other rooms looked spacious and neat. "
1749861,25370117,2015-01-13,15182863,Eddie,"Sharon was an attentive and quick to respond host, and the home is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood."
1749861,25634580,2015-01-21,15101829,Brittney,"Sharon was an amazing host and you simply cannot find a better price for that area. The room was clean and well kept. She offered complimentary coffee and fresh eggs from her chickens in the mornings which was very nice. She was more than helpful in so many ways, from giving us rides because we didn't have a car to advising us on the best areas to search for apartments. I couldn't be happier with my experience.. Thanks again Sharon!! You're #1!"
1749861,26173723,2015-02-05,24255660,Peter,"Sharon and her husband are very kind. Her home in Austin is in a family friendly neighborhood a few miles outside of downtown, but easy to get to and with good coffeeshops, stores, and a new Trader Joes right down the street. She has 3 rooms inside and a cool little cabin in the backyard that she rents, so there is a good chance you will meet other guests at the house. I am very grateful I found this room and cannot thank Sharon enough for her generosity and kindness as I try to land on my feet in Austin. "
1749861,27073011,2015-02-24,27479126,Rahul,"Sharon is very kind and responsive. We had some pretty good talks as well about her traveling experience, kids, and real estate work. I would highly recommend staying here, it is great for the price"
1749861,27565377,2015-03-07,28739005,Cristina,Sharon was warm and inviting and happy to give directions for me. House is ranch style with several rooms (4 i believe) rent out at same time with all sharing one bathroom. Plenty of clean towels and big kitchen to use but did not feed breakfast. Only cofee. Room  had full size loft bed (very old and hard with one flat pillow) with couch underneath which folds out. Easy for young to climb to loft but would be difficult for older. Was very quiet but doors ( both bedroom and bathroom ) locks did not lock. I also did not feel bathroom or bedroom was clean. Neighborhood nice and quiet and very close to shopping and downdown attractions. If you dont mind sharing with a few others and saving costs this is perfect. Buses also close. Good location!
1749861,27805123,2015-03-12,27745764,Alexandra,"Such an awesome experience! Sharon and Petr were great, so welcoming, so helpful, so kind. The house was beautiful -- longer commute than we expected but definitely not a bad commute to downtown and all the other cool areas. "
1749861,28460144,2015-03-24,2849306,Thomas,"I had a very enjoyable stay at Sharon's place.
The house is in a lovely setting, and the facilities are very good.
Sharon and her husband are friendly and helpful. I would happily stay here again, and recommend it thoroughly.
If like me you don't drive but use (gasp!) buses, the local 30 route doesn't run very late....but that's a trade off for being somewhere nice.
Cheers."
1749861,29373462,2015-04-06,28112660,Yisel,"Sharon is a really nice lady. She was really helpful with the information about what places to visit. She took a 10 minute introduction to the city , where she explain what to do and where to go. The neighborhood area is close to downtown , specially is you are driving you'll be there in less than 10 min. If you aren't Sharon will explain you all about the buses and how to move around. "
1749861,30346158,2015-04-20,9723711,Abraham,Sharon is a great host.  She is very caring and accommodating.  The room is simple and clean.  It has a nice closet too.  The neighborhood is really beautiful.  The house has a great backyard.  I really liked the keyless entry.  The one issue with the place is that sometimes the internet is spotty (Sharon really tried to solve this issue).  I loved my stay.  Will return.
1749861,31817569,2015-05-10,31364459,Claire,"Sharon and Petr were very welcoming and friendly people.  Sharon had a map of the city and explained the offerings in each neighborhood pointing out special places, such as Barton Springs Pool, which is only minutes from her house.  They have a beautiful backyard - enjoyed several meals on the patio. The house is lovely inside and out. I am staying here next time I'm in Austin."
1749861,32662635,2015-05-19,33463339,Linda,I was quiet and got a great deal since we couldn't find an hotel with free room. She shows us a map with area of interests .We were too tired for having a conservation anyway so it was almost perfect. Just the pillows were yellowish/ maybe not clean/or too old. All we needed was a roof so we can't complain .
1749861,32666451,2015-05-19,12319245,Ilsa,I appreciated the keyless entry and the location of the place. I thought the bathrooms could have been cleaner and my room was hot even with fans and windows open. It had the vibe of a small hostel in that multiple rooms were rented out and the bathrooms are shared.
1749861,35239691,2015-06-16,29136816,Wei,Sharon was a great host. Very friendly and helpful. I loved my room!
1749861,36234227,2015-06-26,17816777,Adam,"Sharon was incredibly responsive via Airbnb chat before I made the final booking online. She was warm, welcoming and honest. The listed was accurate. No surprises. She even provided local knowledge about some of the area stores. As expected, there were two other guests staying in the house in other bedrooms. In the rare moments that we crossed paths, everyone was kind and respectful. Even though Sharon was out of town during my town at her house, I always felt she was completely accessible if anything was needed. Thanks!"
1749861,36489065,2015-06-28,31938747,Sam,The bedroom was nice and the host friendly. Sharon and her family are always available to help. For the money it's a good option.  Nothing is really walkable without going for more than 30 minutes and in the texas heat it's tough!
1749861,37492623,2015-07-07,601602,Fernanda,"Sharon is a veteran AirBnB'er. She made us feel very welcome and even moved us from one room to another in order to make our stay with a 2 year old baby more comfortable. She gave us great insights about visiting Austin and other neighborhoods. I would definitively recommend her, specially, if you are scouting Austin."
1749861,38537850,2015-07-16,8569788,Julia,"I was looking for a place close to the workshop I attended, for 3 night. The location is great, the neighborhood is beautiful, and there is a shopping center in walking distance. Sharon's house was the closest with the lowest price.  I did not meet Sharon, but the host was very welcoming and nice. The house is definitely not new and could use some updates, but was fine for the given purpose."
1749861,39691342,2015-07-25,9646651,Hetali,"Was perfect for what I needed! Really close to the Bee Caves area and Zilker Park, and only ~10 to the heart of downtown. Sharon + family were super fun to hang out with, room had ample closet space + plugs, and it was great to be able to use the kitchen/fridge so I wasn't eating out every day. Sharon was very accommodating and answered any question I had! Thanks!"
1749861,40157338,2015-07-28,21971425,Maddie,"Great experience, no problems, would recommend for someone traveling on a budget but wanting to stay in a great part of town. "
1749861,40413112,2015-07-30,19057709,Kathi,"We didn't get to meet Sharon, but Dov showed us everything in the house and recommended us places to visit around Sharon's house. A bakery is 2min away by car and we had breakfast in the nice garden, which my friends and I really enjoyed. The room was pretty tight for 3 people, but it was okay for just one night."
1749861,45126389,2015-08-31,30684414,Gaëlle,"Sharon is a fantastic host. I was lost on the way to her house and she went to pick me up! She's really kind and very helpful and accommodating. She even showed me a map of the city and told me about the main things I should see, recommended places to see and gave me very useful directions. In overall, Sharon's house is a home away from home and I would definitely recommend her as a host. "
1749861,45741581,2015-09-05,39203600,Dan,"Sharon welcomed me into her home. I enjoyed chatting with her and the other guests. I felt comfortable from the beginning. My room was a little small but it suited me just fine. The wifi works great in the living room; however, unfortunately it didn't work in my room. Also, I didn't realize there were going to be other people renting rooms. They were all perfectly nice. I'm not saying Sharon mislead me. I was just surprised."
1749861,46177742,2015-09-08,18599253,Kendall,"Sharon was such a wonderful host! Extremely accommodating, and even though my friends and I arrived late in the evening, she still took time to greet us and tell us about the different places in Austin we needed to see. Sharon seriously knows this city and is an awesome source when it comes to figuring out what to do. The listing is accurate to the photographs - the place is absolutely beautiful! Very clean and cozy, too. Our only regret is not being able to talk to Sharon more and spend more time in her beautiful back yard, as we only got to stay 2 full days and our schedule was jam packed (thanks to Sharon's recommendations)! Thanks again for having us, Sharon! It was a total blast, and with any luck will get to return to your ""House of Happiness"" soon."
1749861,47113580,2015-09-15,6201623,Jonathan,This was a great airbnb experience. The place is beautiful and Sharon was a perfect host. Than you! 
1749861,48328242,2015-09-25,43720143,Mo,This was my first Airbnb booking. Sharon welcomed me with opened arms.She explained areas of Austin to check out. I would book again at this location.
1749861,49032210,2015-09-30,4376284,Rachel,"Sharon made me feel very welcome. We communicated a few times before my trip, and she was there when I arrived to orientate me with the house, room and Austin. The listing was accurate and if anything, had more amenities than I thought it would. The neighborhood is just outside of Austin, but still accessible and close to the downtown. I took public transit while I was there and it was an easy walk to the bus, and ride to nearby Zilker Park or the downtown area. The room had all the basics that I needed during my 5 day trip and was very affordable. It was just the right place!"
1749861,50613782,2015-10-13,32584391,Kelley,Sharon was very welcoming and accommodating.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with her in Austin!! 
1749861,50823513,2015-10-14,42630951,Chris,Sharon was an excellent host. She was very helpful on our visit to explore Austin. Thank you!
1749861,51492901,2015-10-20,45814146,Alanna,Sharon was a great host! She was very informative about the area. She gave us great recommendations. The room and house were both very clean. We will definitely be staying with Sharon again!
1749861,51928076,2015-10-25,16140562,Katja,"Sharon was my best airbnb experience ever.I would definitely recommend her place!
She host me perfectly.She drove me to a grocery place to get me food and showed me around.I had a blast!!!!"
4717664,29340576,2015-04-06,20523784,Catherine,Such a lovely home and wonderful location. Meg was a great host! There was even champagne in the fridge. :)
4717664,52063929,2015-10-26,7388184,Kathy,"We had a great stay. The unit is well appointed, cute and in a great location to walk to SoCo. Meg was super responsive when we left a few items after our stay. And the prosecco on arrival was just what the doctor ordered. Would highly recommend. "
347342,996291,2012-03-13,1767071,Steve,Matthew and his roommates have a very comfortable and laid back home that they prepared for our group thoughtfully.  We had a very comfortable stay.
3125395,14137930,2014-06-12,5836930,Kristof,"Bill's Airbnb was perfect, and a really great deal. With the nearby bus stop it was really easy to get into the city. Bill is a great host, and I would warmly recommend his listing to anyone looking for to stay in Austin, especially if it's for a bit longer. 

I loved our conversations and if you stay at Bill's ask him about the Taco place with the fried avocado's :)"
3125395,21494435,2014-10-18,21174317,Louis,Bill's a real cool guy. Really knows a lot about Austin.
3125395,46478413,2015-09-11,37103228,David,"Bill is a very nice guy and experienced with guests. At the very first day he showed me the neighborhood, so that I could get along easily by myself. The room is bigger than expected."
1560394,9053772,2013-12-03,9359450,Chan,"A group of friends and I stayed here for a wedding this past Thanksgiving weekend and were very pleased with our stay. The house was clean, modern, spacious and adequate to what my group required. The location is a $10 cab ride to the 6 street bars. Erica and the Turnkey staff were very attentive during the booking process. Before we arrived a staff member turned up the heat since it was a cold day. I would definitely rent this house next time I’m in Austin.
Thanks,"
1560394,13677936,2014-06-02,12988966,Ashley,"The neighborhood (East Austin) is up and coming, with bars and restaurants near by.  Definitely would recommend a cab/rental car/ or use the car service number on the fridge.  A cab ride to downtown was $5 with 5 people!  
The AC went out but the management was very quick to respond and handled everything as smooth as possible.  Thanks for a great stay."
1560394,14696705,2014-06-24,10967785,Jackson,"House was great, bar one carpet in the master bedroom that could use a steam cleaning. Everything else was neat and clean."
1560394,16473585,2014-07-28,16185448,Heather,"The house was great.  Well appointed, cute decor.  The host communicated well with us ahead of time so we knew exactly what to do.  We are familiar with the eastside so we knew the neighborhood. 
Loved it!"
1560394,18328729,2014-08-25,18420421,Amber,"Felt welcomed, house was well prepared, quiet neighborhood. "
1560394,19679313,2014-09-16,2339312,Airick,"Neighborhood was safe, nice and quiet, easy to walk to 6th or Cesar Chavez st for food, there's an amazing and fun thrift store (Treasure City Thrift) just around the corner. If you're Vegan or have any dietary restrictions? I'd recommend going to Mr Naturals for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 
     Our host (or the employees of their offices) were polite and somewhat helpful when we had problems, which sadly we had a few. The house wasn't exactly accurate in our opinion, 2 of the beds described in the listing were faulty and it took an entire day after our first night to get fixed (once it did get worked out, I requested a refund for that night which our host did except). We had an alarm system go off twice during our stay for no reason, the house was slightly filthy when we arrived, broken fixtures, marks all over the walls, scattered linens and stained mattress pads, our host replied to us that these are things they are working on. Over all, this was an ok place, I don't think it was worth the price we paid, but we also had several things happen during our stay that made it impossible to relax and enjoy our time. I believe these were isolated events and I truly hope they get worked out for future guest. I'd love to give a more positive feedback, however when I'm booking a place to stay, I do read the reviews and find it helpful when people give the truth on their experiences. "
1560394,22929611,2014-11-17,19930243,Brian,"Erica and Turnkey were great hosts with a great property close to downtown and 6th st. They kept in touch the whole way through the booking and stay, addressing our needs, extending our check-in and move-out times, and giving us a call on check-in day to make sure we were happy with the property.

The house itself was spacious enough for our large group, close to everywhere we wanted to go, and in good condition. Would definitely recommend this place to others for a weekend getaway. "
1560394,23591912,2014-12-05,17978685,Maryann,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1560394,24000448,2014-12-16,23834780,Emory,"The property management team was prompt and friendly once we booked. All the information we needed was communicated to us immediately. The house itself was just as described, very clean with a lot of cool little knick knacks all over the place. Very spacious. The location was incredible, and the neighborhood was quiet. I highly recommend this place for a small group looking to travel to Austin."
1560394,25538728,2015-01-19,22896019,Berkeley,"The rental process was smooth and easy, and the property was exactly as pictured...spacious and comfortable for our weekend! The backyard was such a great place for all of us to hang out and enjoy the amazing weather on Saturday afternoon. Erica was communicative throughout the weekend regarding check-in and check-out times, which was very helpful. Can't imagine a better place for some college friends to get together...thanks for your hospitality!!"
1560394,26628371,2015-02-16,8695517,Marc,"Erica & co were very professional hosts; communication was easy, prompt, and accurate, and they graciously our accommodated early-check-in and late-check-out requests. The house was clean and well-stocked with linens when we arrived, and everything was as described.

Oh, and the location of the house is just great."
1560394,27063457,2015-02-24,27064806,David,Nice place. Solid location. 
1560394,28323697,2015-03-22,10108105,Katie,"The home was lovely, however I was disappointed to find dirty sheets piled in closet corners. I had to do the laundry before we could all sleep. In addition one of the air mattresses did not stay inflated. There were several notes from the guests that had checked out the morning we checked in with complaints around the house. 

When I exited the master bedroom to the back porch the door knob fell right off, and our other guests were uncomfortable that the bathroom door did not have a lock.

Upon first glance the property was clean but if you really had a look it was clear that it was just a quick clean up, the surfaces, walls had stains and were pretty dirty. 

Honestly, it was a great place... it was just a few little things that could have been avoided.

"
1560394,28784885,2015-03-30,26595238,Alexandra,"I booked this house for a bachelorette party. There was 8 of us and this house was perfect! We were able to bring our food and cook and hang out together under one roof, which would not have been possible had we stayed in a hotel. Erica was always quick to respond to any questions I had. 

This location was super close and convenient to downtown and always took less than 10 minutes to get to places.

I will definitely consider staying here again in the future!"
1560394,29295119,2015-04-06,13559171,Shannon,The locations was great and the house was wonderful. We especially loved the back porch!
1560394,29875892,2015-04-13,30371801,Mindy,Our stay was very comfortable. Everything listed was true and accommodating. 
1560394,33899853,2015-06-02,22032425,Jeanne,"We liked the convenience of a keypad (vs actual keys) to enter the house. Neighborhood was friendly, quiet, easy to walk."

1560394,34468929,2015-06-08,31219434,Meghan,We enjoyed the house. Needed more pillows for the air mattress. One air mattress wouldn't blow up.  It was mostly clean but some hair in the shower. It was not spotless. It is uber ride close to 6th street. Not really walking. Nice back patio. 
1560394,43180512,2015-08-17,12154500,Edison,The house is ok. Neighborhood isn't the easiest on the eyes. Stains on the couches and chairs make you think it's a party house. Still pretty close to everything by car.
1560394,44167216,2015-08-24,39523030,Andrew,"We went to Austin for a bachelor party and stayed at this property for the duration of our trip. The detailed arrival instructions and keypad front door entry made it a lot easier for the 7 of us to come and go as needed. For the most part the rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen had the essential pots, pans, and dishes to cook and serve a full meal. The close proximity to 6th St and Rainey St made for a quick 5 minute car ride and the surrounding neighborhood is relatively pleasant. Overall, this property was very comfortable and made for a relaxing getaway."
1560394,45278013,2015-09-01,14513136,Joe,"Lovely home and a good location. Everything feels new and it easily accommodated seven. It's a short, lit walk to the E. 6th bars and easy to drive elsewhere."
1560394,51280923,2015-10-19,473399,Drew,Everything was comfortable and as advertised. Check-in was easy.
1560394,52825961,2015-11-02,20602503,Gina,"Really enjoyed staying at Erica's place in Austin, it was perfect for our group of girls and close to all of the local attractions.  You can tell that the neighborhood is up and coming with home remodels taking place.  "
358164,1015715,2012-03-18,1928468,Blake,Monica and her family were awesome and very welcoming. The backyard cottage is super clean and a great place for an airbnb. I have no reason to ever want to stay elsewhere in Austin; thank you Monica for making our SXSW weekend happen!
358164,2620397,2012-10-15,409116,Nancy,"Monica was a wonderful host, and the cottage was perfect for the two of us.  Very clean, comfy bed, and cute space.  We felt the space was private enough to be able to do our own thing without feeling in the way, yet not forgotten. The part of town the cottage was in was very easy access to downtown. We walked just a couple of blocks to the bus stop, and the bus took us right downtown without any transfers for just $1 each. We decided to take a cab back which was only around $13.  I would definitely recommend Monica's cottage to anyone traveling to Austin.  We loved her cutie pie doggie too :)"
358164,2925559,2012-11-20,1015566,Barbara,"We really enjoyed our stay at Monica's cottage. Very comfortable, clean and cool! They were great hosts, very helpful, friendly but gave us personal space. I'd stay there again!"
358164,3441242,2013-01-29,755170,Daylon,"Monica was a terrific host! The place was very neat and tidy and the added bonus of being able to use a nice hot tub after a long drive to Austin was the icing on the cake. 

She was IMMEDIATELY responsive to any questions I had about and was the picture of a gracious host. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here to anyone wanting a nice quiet, clean room for the evening. "
358164,3753528,2013-03-11,4711908,William,"The cottage is lovely, perfectly private and actually better than what the pictures show.   It's like having your own little hotel room.  

Monica is a professional, as the place was spotless with nice little lotions, shampoos, bottled water and snacks laid out for my arrival.

358164,3767781,2013-03-12,5281095,Randall,"Monica was a wonderful host . It was a very cute little space , in close proximity to the Capital and 6'th st. It was very clean howevr it may be time for a new sofa.

358164,3992992,2013-04-01,5665157,Alleigh,Monica was a great host -- very accommodating and easy to coordinate with.

358164,4714455,2013-05-21,5521616,Rod,Lovely private cottage was perfect for my visit.  Helpful friendly hosts.  A quiet neighbourhood only a short drive to my meeting venue at the university.  I particularly enjoyed the hot tub.  There is no TV and no kitchen/fridge in the unit and that suited me perfectly.  The bed was very comfortable.  Great place I'd be happy to stay at again.
358164,8245737,2013-10-21,5798232,Bianca,"Monica was a great host in that great communication was maintained and she was very welcoming! The cottage was a bit smaller than expected, but a good fit for 2 people. I recommend this stay to couples who are looking to be near downtown in a quaint area. "
358164,8400052,2013-10-28,1693181,Lindsay,"I really loved Monica's cottage. It was clean and had an airy, open, and peaceful atmosphere. Monica was friendly and easy to communicate with. After checking-out I thought I forgot something and Monica was very prompt with checking for me. The only thing I feel I should mention that some guests may want to know is there is not a keyless lock on the door, if you are very particular about safety this may concern you...otherwise I was very happy with these accommodations and would come back here in the future. "
358164,8811569,2013-11-19,2565395,Andrew,"Great cottage in perfect location for Austin, and Monica is the perfect host with good fast communication before and during my stay, even when my travel plans had me arriving at almost midnight."

358164,10422548,2014-02-18,7851662,Ginna,"Monica and Greg went out of their way to make sure our Austin visit was successful. We were without a car and depending on the bus for transportation which was effected by the Austin marathon. 
When stranded, Monica offered to pick us up and delivered us to Ginny's Little Longhorn for a much needed beer.  Her recommendations were very helpful, too.  The cottage was in a good location and perfect for our needs.
"
358164,10901651,2014-03-12,770991,Christina,"Great little cottage behind the main house. Monica was quick to respond, accommodating with check-in and check-out, and all around set the cottage up to be very guest-ready (super clean, tea and snacks provided, as well as bathroom amenities!) The bus downtown was also conveniently located just a block or so away, as were some local eats like a vegan food trailer park! Only thing to note was that during my stay the internet was a bit weak/spotty (not an issue for me, but if you needed to get some work done may need to ensure there would be a stable). connection)"

358164,16924808,2014-08-04,18061445,Paula,This was our first experience with airbnb.  Monica sent detailed instructions for our arrival.  It's in a quiet neighborhood and close to neighborhood restaurants.  She's very flexible with cancellations per her website.
358164,18854922,2014-09-01,5736906,Laura.,"Monica was a wonderful host! Communication with Monica was quick and friendly.

The only change was an improvement - they now have a mini fridge that also has a freezer section! This cottage had everything we needed for our stay a clean space with privacy, fridge and a very clean private bathroom with great towels. Great location, 10 minutes to UT, 15 to the hip South Congress. Communication with Monica is always quick and friendly! "

It looked exactly like the pictures and was extremely clean. It fit our needs perfectly and was in a really calm, quiet neighborhood. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin."
358164,22356485,2014-11-04,19972315,Tom,"We had a wonderful experience at Monica's private cottage. She was quick to respond to questions, always friendly, and met us when we arrived with the key.

Highly recommend this place!

358164,25257061,2015-01-10,20066168,Martin,"Very pleasant garage conversion in Hyde Park neighbourhood, consisting of a studio bedroom with sofa, and attached bathroom.

358164,25488185,2015-01-17,19586947,Kallie,"Monica was a gracious and welcoming host, and the cottage was absolutely wonderful.  I had a really bad experience with another property the night before, and Monica welcomed me into her cottage on short notice.  Everything was clean and comfortable--I slept well for the first time in days!  I lived in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin (which I love) for five years, and Monica's place will now be my go-to for future visits.  And Auggie (the dog) is adorable!"
358164,25776706,2015-01-25,872239,Ramiro,"Monica was an excellent host.  From welcome to check-out, everything was amazing.

Monica was very responsive, friendly, and accommodating - with an eye for small touches, like Valentine's Day chocolates! - and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The cottage was cozy and clean, the location was ideal, and we hope to return on our next trip to Austin."
358164,27375329,2015-03-02,2780352,Dana,Amazing cottage in a terrific neighborhood. Great shower. Monica is a friendly and very responsive host. She took the time to chat with me about schools in Austin. I would stay here again!

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is staying in Austin for the weekend!"
358164,27819290,2015-03-12,1351451,Marisa,"Monica left everything easy for us to get into while she was at work, and she was responsive in all of our communication. The cottage is lovely, clean, and easy to find, and her home is in a very cute neighborhood of Austin. It was perfect for what we needed. "
358164,28463822,2015-03-24,5518012,Diederik,"Beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of town. Austin has so much to offer and this peaceful place is the perfect place to start discovering. I hired a bike and peddled downtown for sxsw every day, but please do not forget to discover Hyde Park for a little bit. Julio's Cafe is a must-go, I miss their delicious and affordable meals already... Monica also gave me some great advice about what to do with my free Sunday."
358164,28721114,2015-03-29,6874336,Sarah,"This was by far one of my favorite airbnb stays. The place was private, your own cottage detached from the main house, with your own entrance and bathroom. Monica left some snacks and drinks which was so lovely. 

Parking was a breeze and getting around Austin from the apartment was great. Loved the outdoor space and being greeted by their dog each morning!

Very highly recommend this place! "

358164,29930258,2015-04-14,19869473,Heidi,"Monica was a lovely host. Her cute little free-standing, private cottage was just what we wanted.  It was quiet,  in a nice neighborhood and had all the essentials: comfortable queen-sized bed, real blanket and comforter (becoming scarcer and scarcer in hotels, but I appreciate them!), ""dorm sized"" fridge with a little freezer, hot water kettle for making tea, coffee, instant oatmeal, etc.  The bathroom was very small, but clean, and functional. The garden was lovely and she has a hot tub which guests can use, but we didn't use either--we were out early and in late every day.  The internet worked great--until AT&T itself went down.  Monica then spent an hour on the phone with them to get them back up, as we had a couple of urgent emails to end.  (Thanks, Monica!)

We had a bit of trouble reaching Monica by email initially, but we did finally succeed and then found that if contacted by text, she responds within seconds!  We had a great stay!"
358164,30332572,2015-04-20,8457425,Charles,"We spent the weekend in this lovely cottage in Austin.  It was very nice for a short stay.  It was convenient to local highways and some nice local shopping and dining.  The neighborhood was quiet and calm.  There was a small fridge with some refreshments supplied and a pot for tea and coffee.  Their backyard and gardens are lovely and we enjoyed them very much.  Monica was a very kind and considerate hostess.  Overall, we had very nice weekend.  We hope to return in the future."
358164,30877089,2015-04-28,3614096,Leah,"Monica and Greg are the hosts with the mosts!!!! They are Austinites through and through with great recommendations on where to eat, music venues, festivals, and hot spots not to be missed. Their warmth is the first thing you feel when entering this hidden gem in Hyde Park.

Our private cottage was nestled in the trees and was appointed with lovely ammenities.  We had fluffy white towels, a fridge stocked with beer and Topochico, as well as snacks for when we were on the go! I will definately stay here again and would higly recommend it to future guests!"
358164,32040307,2015-05-12,7910816,David,"I wish I could live in this place!  It's quiet, comfy, clean, safe and peaceful.  Couldn't ask for a better experience."
358164,32133499,2015-05-14,27385113,Kat And Eli,"This was our first AirBnB experience and we couldn't have had it with a better host! Monica was so friendly, sweet and accommodating, we felt right at home. She was extremely helpful in recommending local spots to grab a bite to eat or just sit for a cup of coffee. The cottage was perfect! Cozy, though not small. Our lovely host even provided smacks and beverages, which was a nice perk. 
The neighborhood was charming. Sweet and peaceful. Nearby restaurants served up rockin' vegan fare - even a vegan ice cream shop! 
Overall, we highly recommend staying at Monica's. You won't be disappointed!"
358164,33419525,2015-05-27,14756708,Linda,"We loved staying at Monica's beautiful private cottage. The place is perfectly appointed for a couple. Comfy bed, nice to have the fridge and cold drinks provided. Monica was fantastic--communicating with us ahead of time about the check-in, making extra effort to get us some non-dairy milk for the coffee. We definitely would stay there again. Great location too--walking distance to restaurants and fun spots, but also a pretty quiet neighborhood! Loved it!!!"

358164,36351030,2015-06-27,19539906,Lauren,"Monica's cottage was the perfect Austin spot. The air conditioning, generously sized shower, and super soft and cozy bed made the cottage so comfortable, and its location in Hyde Park was so convenient. Monica greeted us and chatted with us about all kinds of fun things to do, and we loved her recommendations (live music, a swimming hole in West Texas that we visited the next day.). "
358164,37422243,2015-07-06,35466799,Alexandra,"Beautiful cozy cottage, so peaceful!! We loved our stay here. The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer. The cottage is in the backyard but felt very private and the fenced in backyard was beautiful and perfect to let our dog out. Loved Monica's collection of cool cacti too. "
358164,38234299,2015-07-13,38018081,Paige,"This place was awesome! It is separated from the hosts house and is like a private suite in the backyard converted from what was once a garage. I liked this because we were able to come in late and not bother Monica, the host, at all. Monica was so sweet and even brought us beers to relax with once we came in and were tired from travelling all day. The house was about a $10 Uber from 6th/Rainey St and is walking distance to some bars and restaurants as well. In the morning we walked 2 blocks from the house to a local food truck (Biscuits and Groovy) and then right next door to a  really nice coffee shop. I highly recommend a stay here!"
358164,42219796,2015-08-11,14989438,Olivia,Staying at Monica's was the highlight of our trip to Austin. The cottage was just perfect and Monica and her family  couldn't have been nicer. The bed was so comfortable and the air conditioning quiet and amazing!! From the moment we arrived we felt welcome and Monica gave us some great recommendations. The location of the cottage was great- close to some really cool vintage stores and bars. We really loved the privacy of the cottage also- Monica was available if we needed her but left us to do our own thing. This can sometimes  be hard when using Airbnb. Would definitely recommend staying at Monica's if you are planning to visit Austin. 
358164,43192558,2015-08-17,41385576,Joe,"Staying at Monica's Cottage was GREAT! In-fact it was perfect. Not only was it completely comfortable, and super private, it is in the best location. It was very, very clean. Monica herself was the perfect amount of friendly and respectful to our privacy. Just all around a great experience. Will definitely use again when given the opportunity."
358164,43734226,2015-08-21,3813208,Uma,"This place was awesome. Really. Just lovely, very comfortable, easy access, everything provided...I LOVED IT! Monica was great to communicate with, accommodated my last minute request, welcomed me and set me up and left me alone. I enjoyed everything about the stay. It's a fantastic location, in my eyes. North Loop is the best."

The cottage sat beside a beautifully landscaped yard and deck, a perfect setting for a quiet and restful experience. A lot of thought was put into this sweet little space. Nice modern bathroom, air conditioning, private, clean, secure. A truly delightful experience. And Monica herself was an incredibly kind and generous host. I wish I could have stayed longer!"

We will defintely stay here again!"
358164,49005469,2015-09-30,12768487,Lisa,"We stayed in Monica's cottage for a long weekend trip to see Austin for the first time and it was perfect! Monica and her family made us feel very welcome by responding to messages quickly, giving us clear instructions on where to park, how to access the cottage since we were arriving late at night, and the cottage itself was lovely. Everything in the cottage was so thoughtful and perfect for our stay. The cottage is behind the main house in a residential neighborhood so it was quiet and private. The backyard was also beautiful -- my only regret is that I didn't have enough time on our packed trip to sit out with my book and enjoy the yard! We also loved her dog and cat  who greeted us as we came and went-- made our withdrawals from our own a little easier! The location was also perfect-- cute residential neighborhood with a coffee shop and breakfast joint nearby, but only took us 10-15 minutes to get anywhere in the city. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Austin and highly recommend Monica's cottage to anyone!"
358164,49770476,2015-10-06,19938996,Ryan,Monica was a great host. Everything was as expected. Space very clean and host had extras like a few snacks and drinks in fridge. She was very nice and helpful. Would go back. Didn't get a chance to use hot tub. 
358164,51460385,2015-10-20,25992662,Duval,"Monica was such a great host to me and my girlfriend. The pictures very accurately depicted  what the space was like. It was a wonderful cottage. Monica was so nice to greet me upon arrival. The neighborhood where the cottage is was so nice, very quiet in the evening. I would definitely recommend the space to anyone traveling to Austin."
358164,51877071,2015-10-24,47210900,Mark,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it went very smooth.  I was happy with the cottage.  The location is great, not too far from downtown destinations.  The room was very clean and cozy."
358164,51990021,2015-10-25,34868906,Candice,"Monica's private cottage was the perfect place for our one night getaway. It was cozy with a very comfortable bed and nice bathroom.  She had refreshments in the fridge, snacks, and coffee. It was a 5-10 minute drive to downtown and only about a $20 cab ride.  I highly suggest her place and would stay on our next trip to Austin. "
1759621,11003016,2014-03-17,4962002,Ian,"Piper and Drew were great hosts--thorough, responsive, and friendly!

The house is really comfortable and clean and managed to be plenty of space for six of us!  

And plenty convenient!"
1759621,11770644,2014-04-14,2966705,Julie,"We had an amazing time at Piper's house! It was totally perfect. Piper and her family were amazing hosts. They left us a basket of goodies, a booklet with some information, a first aid kit, and even some beer! We had plenty of room with three children ages 4-12 and four adults. All the rooms were good sized, very clean, and the beds proved a very comfy place to rest a weary head. The kitchen was waay nice and we made coffee and had breakfast there every morning. 

The neighborhood was every bit as choice as the house. It's two blocks from an awesome park with large green spaces and playground equipment, a few more blocks and you're in the heart of the University of Texas. It's a perfect neighborhood for walking, jogging, and biking. And it's a short walk to a coffee shop, grocery store, bike shop, bars, restaurants, and a bunch of great streets to explore. 

Piper's place was a great way to experience Austin and I'd love to stay again! "
1759621,33013343,2015-05-24,32303067,Silvia,"We LOVED our stay in Piper's home:)  The house was perfect for our group.  Clean, well equipped and in a great location."
1759621,37349829,2015-07-06,8457681,David,"Wonderful place! Everything was clean, very spacious, tons of rooms, beatiful decorations. Clear instructions, welcoming atmosphere. Awesome place to stay in Austin! "
368057,2912378,2012-11-19,3093459,Fabiola,"What an excellent place to stay...and the accomodation are perfect...Carlos was an amazing host. My family and I stayed for the Formula 1 event and we could not ask for a more perfect place, it was clean, modern, spacious and has all the amenities you need. Great location, close to downtown Austin and quiet place. Carlos went the extra mile to make sure that our welcome was warm and pleasant. I would highly recommend Carlos' place over any Hotel in Austin. We can't wait to go back next year. "
368057,3749160,2013-03-11,134111,Shafqat,"What an amazing place! Exactly as it appears in the pictures (or even better). Carlos was the perfect host, even though we didn't meet. Clear instructions, clean place, and even fruit basket and free food. Couldn't ask for a better AirBnB connection."
368057,3829687,2013-03-18,5461355,Inam,"Carlos is an awesome host. His house is wonderful and so comfortable. next time I am in Austin, I will definitely be staying at this house again, hopefully it is available. Thanks Carlos!"
368057,11001758,2014-03-17,10275345,Bowale,A group of college buddies and I visited Austin for SXSW and have stayed in Carlos's home two years in a row now. The convenience and comfort of his home is actually one of the main reasons we decided to visit Austin again this year. There were 6 of us and we were plenty comfy...it is a very spacious condo in a nice quiet neighborhood not too far from downtown. We chose to use the bus because of traffic and it's $1 per passenger and takes about 20mins to get you downtown. Carlos has been a wonderful host to us two years in a row now and we plan to make it a third next year. If you are considering it you would definitely be making the right choice by staying here. 5 stars all the way. 
368057,17297937,2014-08-10,17788060,Therese,Very lovely home and neighborhood next to a park. Carlos made us feel right at home and we would definitely stay here again! Great experience.
368057,20896498,2014-10-07,17818984,Lisa,"Carlos was an amazing host and the place was absolutely perfect! It was everything my friend and I were looking for while staying in Austin! The place was beautiful and very spacious.  We loved the fully stocked kitchen and the bedrooms were both very comfortable.  The location was ideal! It was close to downtown, the neighborhood was quiet, friendly, and clean and with easy access to I35.  After staying at Carlos's place for 2 months it started to feel just like home and it was hard to leave!  

Carlos was out of the country during our stay but readily available at almost anytime for any problems or concerns.  Carlos was easy to talk to and communicate with about anything. He also gave great recommendations on restaurants and fun things to do near by. 

I would highly recommend staying at Carlos's place.  I would be back again in a heartbeat!"
368057,28070368,2015-03-17,4098,Stan,"Just spent 5 nights in Carlos's wonderful town home. The home is super clean and super comfortable. Carlos is a great communicator and proactively reached out to me prior to my arrival to see if I had any questions. He was very responsive any time I reached out with a question during my visit. Really nice touches included a guide that provides you info on multiple bars, coffee shops and restaurants. Carlos also provided complementary coffee, snacks and juices. Very very nice. I especially liked that he included instructions on how to use all the appliances (TV, washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc). I have stayed in many airbnb properties. Carlos and his place were one of my best choices. "
368057,28438252,2015-03-23,28723488,Adaeze,Stayed during SXSW! I loved my stay in Austin! The house was super clean and comfortable. Carlos took his time to explain everything on paper and made our stay stress free!! I would stay again for sure! 
368057,33198317,2015-05-25,33687568,Sam,"The house was beautiful and clean, just like the pictures!! Carlos was very attentive and made sure we were enjoying our stay. He was available for any questions and made us feel very welcome."
368057,50322654,2015-10-11,20627934,Brendhan,"What a great experience.  The town house is very clean and nicely appointed, and was very large and easy to live in.  The kitchen was great and nicely stocked, the bedding was very comfortable and the entire house was just so comfortable.

Note that the house is not in the center of all of the action.  It's in a very quiet neighborhood with plenty of green space to walk in.  It was wonderfully quiet.  But when it was time to go somewhere, all of Austin was within an easy 10-15 minute drive.  

Carlos could not have been more accommodating or gracious.  From checking in during our stay to make sure we had what we needed to having some chocolates, coffees and basics ready for our arrival, we felt very welcome.

Will absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Austin."
5171069,38775887,2015-07-18,1839286,Tuan,"Very nice host. House is in a great location on a cul-de-sac on a quiet street. The area you'll stay is in a converted storage shed that has a bunch of beds and a small bathroom with a shower. It's comfortable enough for a crash pad, but a little cramped otherwise. The house had essentially no kitchen utensils when I stayed, although the listing said it was fully furnished. Apparently Nick's roommate moved out a few days before we came and took it all with him. The house has a fraternity house feel with a bunch of beer cans, cups, and other party materials scattered about. It left a bit to be desired in that aspect. Overall, it's fine for a place to sleep a bunch of people, but I wouldn't want to hang out at the house."
5171069,41890213,2015-08-09,30760652,James,"Nick was an exceptional host, really accommodating and friendly, as were all his friends, who made us feel welcome when we arrived and gave us plenty of great recommendations for restaurants, bars and BBQ in and around the city. There was beer in the fridge and the pool was great and the outhouse where we stayed was big enough for 5, clean and comfortable, and for the first day had a great shower. Unfortunately on our second day there was an issue with the plumbing that made the bathroom unusable, but Nick could not have been more accommodating, trying to fix it himself before offering us full access to the bathrooms in the main house and also giving us 50% of our money back, a really generous offer for a minor inconvenience. His two dogs were a delight, though something to consider if you have a phobia or allergy. Overall the ideal place for those travellers wanting a true taste of Austin "
5171069,50345477,2015-10-11,22924756,Jose Roberto,The rental was great. Pool and jacuzzi were amazing and the hosts were awesome.
8649371,51862936,2015-10-24,43885492,Bill,"My stay with Sarita was short but very sweet! The house was extremely easy to find and upon meeting Sarita she was very warm and welcoming. The neighborhood felt safe and located about ten minutes from downtown Austin. The room and my own bathroom was exactly as depicted on the web page. For my situation of visiting Austin solo and needing a room for a few nights, Sarita's place was perfect."
8649371,52187191,2015-10-26,30126403,Graham,Great space in a great location just outside downtown Austin. Perfectly located for access to COTA as well.  Sarita was brilliant with recommendations on local breakfast joints and was always available for any questions we had.
5785387,50518249,2015-10-12,44772322,Alison,"EQUALLY WONDERFUL HOST & STAY!! Stayed here with my friend and boyfriend for ACL weekend. Beth was so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Her house was adorably decorated and always clean. We had just gotten off a flight from NYC without sleep so made us a pot of coffee - so nice! We stayed in her guest room and had our own bathroom. Side note - her bed was more comfortable than mine at home- you'll sleep like a baby! It was a little tight with 3 people in her guest room but definitely manageable, especially for the price. She supplied us with a full empty closet, plenty of towels and even shampoo& conditioner. I highly recommend staying with Beth and would love to stay here again if/when we are back in Austin. "
5785387,51069154,2015-10-17,4694627,Naoma,It was super easy getting to our place and checking in. Beth kept in contact until we arrived to Austin. Upon arrival her house was beautiful and super clean and organized. Our room was perfect and was charming. The bed was super comfortable. Beth was a great host and gave us some recommendations of where to go. I would recommend staying here. It's also on a quiet street which is great if you've been trekking through crazy Austin all day. Super clean. Super organized. 
5785387,52860649,2015-11-02,37910763,Jonas,Everything was fine! :) Especially the (bed)room and the separat bathroom were great. Beth is a very hospitable Person! :)
776441,2923835,2012-11-19,4137112,Mike,"What a wonderful place. Within walking distance to downtown Austin, yet far enough away to be a quiet escape.. The hosts (and thier kitties) were wonderful and took great care of me. Beautiful home, great artwork, and super comfy bed. I'm glad I chose to stay here."
776441,3813243,2013-03-18,170071,Sam,"A great room in a old women's college. D'Ann has done an amazing job making this place comfortable, and provides lots of snacks. What more could you ask for."
776441,8806636,2013-11-18,1098308,Scotty,Comfortable place in a great location. It's walking distance to the main strip of east side - which is the best part of Austin. 
776441,10900154,2014-03-12,10037945,Julia,"A great space in a beautiful house with an incredible host! Thanks so much, D'Ann, for welcoming me into your lovely home, providing expert advice on Austin, and for the coffee and snacks. "
776441,20881978,2014-10-06,3340815,Emily,"One of my favorite Airbnb stays to date. The location in East Austin is the best neighborhood in Austin and is walking distance to the 6th street scene if you need it. The house is beautiful, with three outdoor decks overlooking D'Ann's gardens. Try to get the back room attached to the deck when you stay here."
776441,21010519,2014-10-09,13998216,Lisa Ann,"D'Ann was wonderful. Her welcoming hospitality helped me feel right at home. Even her cats were friendly! 

The Inn at Old School is magical. An Italianate Victorian, this house features a stunning staircase, 18+ high ceilings, lovely decorations and comfortable beds. On the second floor there's even a balcony where you can relax and listen to the nature surrounding you. I can see how this place would be perfect for groups who all want to have their own room.

I definately look forward to staying here again. I consider the Inn at Old School my Austin home-away-from-home. "
776441,21257162,2014-10-13,3169691,Christina,"D'Ann made our arrival easy, leaving keys with a welcome flyer at the front door. She was kind enough to offer us Tea, coffee and pastry before venturing off to ACL. Both the home and the room are beautiful and charming. The room is made private with a door lock and has a conveniently connected full bath. The house is old and I feel obligated to say there may be- or may not be- ghosts of the house. Overall great experience! I would be a little cautious of parking as my car was keyed either at Driskill's valet or here- street side."
776441,22008874,2014-10-27,15884442,Maxime,D'Ann's home is very welcoming. It's so pretty. You know the home has a soul. It's genine and we're si glad de stop there. Close to the center in a nice neighborehood. Lots of food trucks down the bloc. D'Ann is lovely. She gives great tips about Austin. She's a great person to hang with.
776441,28120613,2015-03-18,25853478,Kendahl,D'Ann was an amazing host. She was friendly and accommodating to my late check in. I stayed in 2 of the 3 rooms and found them both to be large with comfortable beds. The location was on a well known street for taxi's although Car2Go was a great optiion.  It was a 35 minute walk to the convention centre.  Overall it was a great place to stay and will be particularly enjoyable if you appreciate heritage buildings. 
776441,29898769,2015-04-13,30942299,Travis,"D'Ann was fantastic. My girlfriend and I were looking for a place to stay on a short trip to Austin. The decision to take a small trip was very impromptu, and I hit up many people on airbnb for a place to stay. I finally came upon D'Ann's listing and sent a request, to which she responded within minutes to. 
We got into town about 10pm that same night and were amazed by how big her property was! White picket fence, big trees and front yard garden and all. We knock on the door and D'Ann greets us with a smile as she welcomes us into her home. She gave us a tour of her home, and the whole time my girlfriend and I were tickled at the fact that we were able to lodge someplace so nice at the last minute. We were offered beers, told about the history of the house, given some insight on some of the best places in town, and let us know of some great spots to hit up a couple blocks from where her house was.
Our room was very cozy and huge, and had our own private bathroom directly accessible.

She was very accommodating and we felt very welcome. I would definitely love to stay at this house again in the future!"
776441,33111106,2015-05-25,9016731,Tien-Tien,Charming and beautiful home. Fantastic location - walking distance to bars/shops/restaurants on 11th street and 6th street. D'Ann was a very friendly host and we even snagged some cinnamon buns fresh out of the oven one morning =) One thing to note specifically about this room is that you share a door (that is locked) with another room so it is not very sound proof. You also share a small hallway that leads to a shared bathroom with a different room (again not very sound proof). 
776441,49613076,2015-10-05,33430439,Brittany,"What a perfect place for a weekend in Austin!!  D'Ann was very accommodating to my request and made our stay enjoyable. This historic home is boasts so much charm  with its high ceilings, 2nd story balconies, unique tasteful decor in each room, and a welcoming atmosphere. It is close to some great restaurants and bars within walking distance.  My only regret is I didn't stay long enough to take advantage of reading a good book in the outside hammock!  Would recommend anyone stay here. "
776441,50632663,2015-10-13,33379354,Brooke,"Awesome historic house with great porches. The host was welcoming, made us feel very comfortable and gave us good tips. The location is convenient, walking distance to the main street and plenty of bars. Listing was very accurate. "
5315312,28493186,2015-03-24,24621513,Lauren,"Natalie was a wonderful host and the space was perfect! Super safe and convenient location around lots of coffee shops and the best tacos in town. It's about a 30-minute walk to downtown which was super key during sxsw when taxis and ubers were tough to find. The space was very big and private - the entire second floor to myself. It was also exceptionally clean, homey, and comfortable. Also great, fast wifi. And not only did Natalie provide plentiful amenities like toiletries, clean towels, laundry, etc - she also added special touches like surprising me with a breakfast taco in the morning, inviting me to Sunday morning breakfast with her lovely family, and offering rides around town. What a great stay! Thanks Natalie!"
5315312,31725819,2015-05-09,31425574,Karl,"THis was our first experience with AirBnB and Natalie and her family made us welcome and gave us an excellent base for visiting Austin.  The location is fabulous, esp for the SoCo area.  Her rooms had everything we needed.  We were totally pleased with our experience."
5315312,31840788,2015-05-10,13070237,Joshua,"Natalie was a great host! She welcomed us when we arrived and invited us to hang out with some of her friends that night. The house was very clean and we had our own space upstairs with our own key. The neighborhood was a short drive from downtown, and Natalie was flexible with check-in/check-out time. Thanks!"
5315312,32036803,2015-05-12,25647830,Jonathan,Natalie was a fantastic host and incredibly accommodating after I booked the room just a day before my stay.  Everything was clean and comfortable and the location was very convenient. I would definitely book again. Thanks! 
5315312,33039888,2015-05-24,20410917,Mark,"Natalie was a great host and very easy to communicate with. The room was exactly what we expected from the pictures and description. Everything was clean and comfortable. We didn't spend much time in the neighborhood, but there seemed to be quite a few places to eat within a few blocks on 1st St. and S. Congress was only a 10 min walk away."
5315312,33177047,2015-05-25,30788823,Clare,"We had an awesome stay at Natalie's! The house was very inviting and spacious. It's also in a safe neighborhood with lots of places to go within walking distance. Couldn't have asked for a better Airbnb, I would definitely stay again! "
5315312,34916734,2015-06-13,10369361,Dianhan,"Natalie is very accommodating! Her place is neat, clean, and has everything you need for a stay in Austin. The house is located in a very quite and safe neighborhood, with walking distance to lots of restaurants and shopping on South Congress. My mom forgot her skirt at her place and she kindly agreed to send it back to us. Thank you so much Natalie!"
5315312,39883571,2015-07-26,29215439,Hang,"My husband and I did not actually meet Natalie in person, but we did maintain contact through texts. The photos represented her place very well. The proximity of her house was so convenient for everything we did in Austin."
5315312,44198107,2015-08-24,242115,David,"The house was lovely and very clean.  The room was comfortable, with air conditioning.  Bathroom was very clean and right next to the room.  There is a sheet with great recommendations on nearby places to eat.  Good location, just down the street from downtown Austin."
5315312,44986159,2015-08-30,14115852,Rose,"Natalie was very accommodating with our arrival time and we had total privacy on the top floor. Having the frig was an added plus, along with a fan for the room. It's an excellent location to both S. Austin and downtown with easy parking on the street out front."
5315312,46327000,2015-09-09,37520678,Anthony,"Natalie provided a warm welcome even before I arrived. She was responsive over text message and gave me all logistical information upfront. Once I arrived, she left helpful notes throughout the apartment and left out refreshments and snacks. "
5315312,48775075,2015-09-28,43749049,Johannes,"This accommodation lived up to all my expectations. The room had a warm atmosphere in a very charming house, with total privacy at the spacious top floor. Very clean and comfortable with ac and good wi-fi. It's located in a safe and friendly neighborhood close to South 1st and South Congress with great restaurants and cool vintage shops. Natalie was the perfect host, very helpful, kind and responsive, both before arrival and during my stay. I hope to return soon again and warmly recommend anyone to check in at Natalie's. "
5315312,50409378,2015-10-11,7871689,Alice,"I couldn't recommend Natalie's place any higher! It is in such a beautiful, safe and convenient location - walking distance to everything. Natalie is an excellent and very kind host, she was helpful, very responsive and made our stay super easy. The room is spacious and clean, really good amenities, Natalie and her parents are lovely, the neighbourhood is the nicest we came across, I could go on forever but to summarise you need to stay here if your going to Austin! "
5315312,51313684,2015-10-19,17574419,Olga,"The bedroom is exactly as shown on the picture, very convenient, spacious and cozy. Additionally, there is a den exclusively for the use of the guests with a little fridge and a coffee maker. Natalie was very considerate to provide coffee, milk, sugar and beverages. The bathroom is close to the bedroom, very clean and in perfect working order. The best part about the room is the neighborhood - 28 places to eat in walking distance, very quiet, 10 minutes to downtown. We would recommend it to anyone, and would stay again."
5315312,52077470,2015-10-26,1628460,Andrea,"Natalie's place was wonderful! It was very clean and had some of the essentials that we needed (coffee, shampoo, etc.). Although I never met her, she was very responsive and accommodating.  I would definitely recommend staying here!"
4190123,28315854,2015-03-22,27154145,Reneeka,"Greta is an amazing host with a beautiful, comfortable home. We travelled as a group of 4, and the space was very accommodating. Her home is an exhibit in itself with eclectic art work, and a large back patio and a backyard with trees to climb! As a host, Greta is a wonderful person. She was available when we needed her, but non-overbearing. She allowed her home to be our home for the week. We cannot wait to return to Austin and will totally stay at Greta's again :)"
4410429,28119399,2015-03-18,11647113,Shota,"Roxan was very nice host, who has kindness and mindfulness.
When I arrived airport, she came to pick me up by car.
She had prepared snacks and fruits for me.
The room was very clean.
I was happy by her thoughtfulness that her cooked the Japanese rice for me.
Her dogs and cat was so cute and very friendly.

Bus stop was close with her house.
I could go to Austin convention center by Bus.
Joe's Grocery, which is small grocery store at next to Bus stop, was useful.

ホストのロクサンはとても親切で心配りのある方でした。
空港まで、車で私を迎えにきてくれました。
部屋はとても清潔で、ゲストのための軽食や果物が用意されていました。
家に炊飯器があり、日本人の私のためにご飯を焚いて振る舞ってくれました。
彼女の2匹の犬と1匹の猫はとても人懐っこくて可愛かったです。

近くにバス停があり、Austin convention centerまではバス1本で行くことができます。バス停の近くに食料品店があるのも便利でした。"
4410429,28316650,2015-03-22,27421411,Nicholas,Roxan is an excellent host. We were well provided for and our privacy was treated with the utmost respect. We will definitely seek to book our stay with her again. 
4410429,30219447,2015-04-19,10766624,Brittany,"Roxan's place is truly an oasis. Lovely bathroom, comfortable bed and charming kitchen. She had snacks and fruit out upon arrival as well as for breakfast. Rowan was also very communicative and accommodating. This is a great spot in East Austin and I'd recommend it to anyone. "
4410429,30512609,2015-04-23,20066350,Robert,"Austin has always been a favorite place and since its gotten so big it seems harder to find a reasonable place that still ""feels"" like Austin, but we sure found it!  The house is so charming and very close to downtown; even though its quiet and relaxing, we never felt like we were far from any event. Roxan the owner was a fantastic host! To tell you the truth we felt so comfortable around her that it very soon seemed like we were staying with family.  She was not intrusive though.  She graciously picked us up at the airport after I just casually mentioned getting a shuttle.  There was always plenty of food and snacks available and she even cooked breakfast for us one morning. The house is very cozy and besides the room, the back patio was the perfect place for us to chill with some wine and enjoy the birds and the breeze.  We know a lot about the area, but Roxan has lots of guidebooks and stuff for those unfamiliar with Austin and was very informative all on her own. Since lots of visitors are music lovers, she had a small sound system for us to use as well - and did I say that the back porch under the huge pecan trees was my favorite spot, LOL!  We loved her animals (the two poms are adorable!) but they were never in the way and I think we wanted to love on them more than we were able to because of time and proximity (she asked us not to let them into the kitchen that is shared with the rest of the house). We are a gay couple and keeping in step with the progressive Austin attitude Roxan made us feel very welcome.  I would definitely go back here - it fit exactly what we were looking for.  Small, cozy, comfortable, and convenient, quiet but close to the action, and Roxan as a host was terrific.  We had a great few days! I'm hoping it will be as easy to get booked here next time :-)  Thanks a million, Roxan!"
4410429,31978101,2015-05-12,1841998,Lorena,Roxan's place is amazing! Beautiful house. Room is large and bed is so comfy! The house is located in a good area. Close to main attractions that Austin has to offer. Roxan was a great host! She was helpful and kind. She made us feel home. We shared some time together but also gave us tons of privacy so we felt comfortable at all times. She provided us with all the information we needed. She also provided us some coffee&tea as well as some food and snacks. We had a great time. Definitely staying at Roxan's if we ever go back to Austin!
4410429,32650261,2015-05-19,7853974,Thora,"Roxan is a wonderful and accommodating host--she even made me breakfast on my last morning. She has loads of snacks and breakfast foods available for her guests, including a whole stocked shelf in the refrigerator and a keurig in the room. The bed is insanely comfortable, and the room, kitchen, and bathroom are very cozy and clean. The room is adjacent to the kitchen, which also has a door to the backyard, so the back door essentially functions as a private entrance. Also I really really enjoyed her back patio and yard; it's surrounded by trees and the neighborhood is really quiet and peaceful."
4410429,33095278,2015-05-25,30066300,Jessica,"Roxan was in touch with me as soon as I booked and leading up to my arrival.  She gave me a tour of her home, the shared space and the amenities at my disposal.  She was gracious and provided plenty of breakfast options as well as a whole shelf of her fridge stocked with beverages and food.  She had several Austin guides available but the most helpful was the one she made herself with great tidbits on local joints - I tried quite afew during my stay and her advice was on point.  She even convinced me to try Uber for the first time, which was convenient not to have to deal with parking downtown at night. The guest bed was so comfortable, I remembered what it was like to sleep in late all over again!"
4410429,43865695,2015-08-22,475036,Kathie,"Despite my 6-hour flight delay, Roxan was ready to welcome me to her snug little house.  Snacks and a bottle of wine were waiting, as was THE most comfortable bed that I can remember (which I feel into, almost immediately).  I enjoyed myself there so much that I will go back if I return to Austin.  Roxan was the hostess-with-the-mostest, and took great care of me.  Be sure and check out her art work on the walls!"
4410429,45808078,2015-09-06,30437913,Jada,"Roxan is a terrific host.  She has a beautiful ""Oasis"" in Austin.  The room is cozy with a very comfortable bed, TV and DVR.  She set aside space in the fridge, dresser, closet and bathroom for my things.   She provided some great snacks and breakfast items with access to the kitchen.  The coffee maker in the room was a plus for me.  Roxan was also very generous in that she was available to pick me up at the airport, her place is just about 10 minutes away. She stayed in contact with me from the minute I made my reservation and was available by text message/phone call for anything I needed.  The place is with-in an easy walk to a bus that takes you right down town.  It was also about a mile from Armadillo Clay where I was attending a clay conference.   When I come to Austin again I will see if this East Austin Oasis is available.   "
4410429,48628970,2015-09-27,18971239,Emily,"Wonderful stay at Roxan's, the bed was so comfortable and the room was decorated beautifully. Bathroom was nice and clean with a great shower. Roxan was an amazing host and always available when needed, she left us snacks and even made us up a shelf in her fridge. Couldn't recommend this place more, will definitely stay again and would suggest it for anyone visiting Austin!"
4410429,50452027,2015-10-12,15478025,América,"The only word I can use to describe my experience is: amazing! Honestly, I was a little wary of this whole airbnb thing because I've never used it before. However, Roxan made me feel at home. She has a gorgeous house, a really comfortable room and bathroom. The location is a 6 min ride to downtown. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable! She picked me up at the airport, she gave me rides when she had a chance. She had a lot of info available about Austin. Her dogs are the cutest thing ever. She had all this tasty food for me also. Sincerely, she set the bar really high for other hosts. 

Para los viajeros internacionales, les digo que Roxan es la mejor opción. Tuve un viaje súper cómodo, es una gran anfitriona. Me recogió en el aeropuerto, estaba disponible para proveerme de mayor información o sacarme de apuros. Tenía comida deliciosa en mi cuarto y en la cocina para mi uso personal. Sus perritos son una lindura y ella en sí es una persona súper buena y dispuesta. La recomiendo muchísimo, superó todas mis expectativas. Su casa, su cuarto y el baño están muy cómodos, limpios y acogedores. Definitivamente si volviera a Austin sería a su casa. "
4410429,51372422,2015-10-19,22426646,Ashley,"A perfect stay at the East Austin Oasis! Roxan was a fantastic host. She was very responsive from the start, made me feel welcome at her home immediately, happy to share knowledge about Austin, always ready for a good conversation and at the same time respectful of your privacy.  She thoughtfully prepared cheese, fruit and wine for when I arrived, as well as, provided a basket of snacks in the room and breakfast foods. Her house was lovely. The room was clean, a great size, tastefully decorated, super comfortable bed and everything you could need and more provided.  Roxan goes above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin to stay at the East Austin Oasis!! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay Roxan! "
4410429,51805882,2015-10-24,20588274,Gabrielle,Roxan was an amazing hostess! She was incredibly accommodating in our arrival time and had wine and snacks available as soon as we walked in the door. The room was beautifully appointed and we had a private entrance so we could come and go as we please. FANTASTIC place to stay and we are definitely coming back :)
4410429,52992122,2015-11-03,43869963,Cameron,"Roxan was a wonderful host and her place is beautiful! The most important things I look for when I stay somewhere is that it is safe, clean and welcoming, and Roxan's place is exactly that. The bathroom is spectacular, with a nice shower and enough space to put your toiletries, the bed is comfortable with extra pillows if you need, and the room has drawers for all your stuff. The house has a nice setup where Roxan's bedroom and the living room (which is her studio) are on one side of the house, separated by a door, and the kitchen, bathroom, and guest bedroom are on the other side of the house, along with a back door entrance. This gives you the privacy you need and access to all the amenities of the apartment. Roxan was warm and inviting, and we spent a lot of time just talking in her kitchen. She made me a fruit and cheese platter, made me breakfast one morning, and drove me around the city to get a feel of Austin. I was traveling alone for the first part of my trip so this made me feel very welcome to the city and her home. She also has the cutest cats and dogs! Overall, I had a very positive experience and would stay here again next time I'm in Austin. "
365191,1003932,2012-03-15,928632,Ghassan,"I had a great time in Austin staying in Samantha's apartment. She's an awesome host and her place is nice, clean and convenient.
It's a bit of a walk from all the downtown action, but still very accessible, being right on 6th st."
365191,7729809,2013-09-30,9069956,Steven,"Our hostess, Samantha, was friendly and fantastic! Her apartment was very clean, comfy and conveniently-located. Whenever we had a question (like where the washer and dryer within the complex was located) she was quick to respond every time via text. Her answers were detailed and helpful. It is nice and quiet in her apartment, but if you want some noise, you can find some fun neighbors around the corner in the building. Samantha's apartment windows and door overlook a very pretty woodsy area. She provided clean towels and asked several times if there was anything else we needed upon arrival. We highly recommend staying at this place! Cozy, relaxing and so close to everything we wanted to do. Thank you, Samantha! "
365191,8089118,2013-10-15,3725043,Alexa,Staying at Samantha's place was wonderful! It's a great and cute apartment nested in a perfect area of Austin. Really close to Zilker Park and 6th street! Samantha was also a really great and accommodating host! Perfect for 2 people for a long weekend. 
365191,8791771,2013-11-18,2956835,Misael,"Samantha's place was very clean, comfy and conveniently-located just few block away from downtown. Samantha was really friendly, provided clean towels, whenever we had a request she was quick to respond every time the phone or text back."
365191,11011066,2014-03-17,6723078,Lee,"A great apartment located within walking distance to downtown. Nothing too fancy, just a nice clean space that ended up being a bit bigger than we had anticipated. Samantha made everything quick and easy and ensured we were taken care of throughout our stay. She also provided an air mattress and extra bedding to accommodate the additional people in our group.

We found ourselves taking advantage of the bus stop that's located about a block from the apartment. This made it incredibly easy to get in and out of downtown, even during the mayhem that is SXSW."
365191,14001157,2014-06-09,16357371,Michael,Lovely place. Had a good time. Easy to communicate. Prompt responses. 
365191,20817006,2014-10-06,18161807,Steven,"Had a perfect weekend staying at Sam's!!! Great location, especially for ACL. Easily walkable to Zilker park, and not a bad walk to downtown either. Comfy bed and nice area. Would definitely use it again for ACL next year!!"
365191,21910769,2014-10-26,12423905,Danielle,"Samantha was a great host. Her apartment is beautiful and in an awesome location. My friends and I had no problem getting in touch with her and finding the apartment. She kept in touch while we had questions throughout the weekend. She even took the time to write out a list of her fav places in Austin too, which was very helpful. 

Would definitely suggest staying here for anyone looking for a fun, stress-free weekend in Austin!"
365191,28306031,2015-03-22,12194608,Alex,"Samantha was an excellent hostess. She had everything we needed ready (towels, blankets, air mattress, etc). The place was clean and quiet as described and very close to downtown. Also she was very responsive to any questions we had. "
8687660,50418589,2015-10-11,45954081,Janet,Marlene welcomed me to her adorable and chic apartment with open arms despite my very last minute request. She shared what food she had and even made me dinner. She had great recommendations for a local night out and was very helpful in assisting me find my way around. Her place was clean and very decorative. Marlene was sweet and very easy to coordinate with. A great place to stop in for a quick weekend getaway!
1472542,10842434,2014-03-10,9216205,Mark,"The place was really clean and exactly as described. Lauren was awesome to deal with and left us lots of snacks, drinks and toiletries.. I felt like I was staying at my sisters place. If I was in Austin again I would stay here!
"
1472542,12354327,2014-04-29,14314594,Daniel,"I had a great time staying with Lauren. The place is clean, quiet, and comfortable. Lauren was an incredibly helpful host who was readily available to answer any question we had. The house is cute, fun, and in a great location. I'd definitely recommend staying here if a trip to Austin is in your future. "
1472542,12638203,2014-05-06,17893,Cody Marx,"Wonderful little house that's pretty central to all the good stuff Austin has to offer. The neighborhood was quiet and the room we stayed in was great for sleeping in til noon. The bed was very comfortable, sheets were of high quality and clean. The whole place was very tidy and while we didn't do much other than sleep and shower there, the place was very warm and welcoming. The bathroom was very clean from the shower to the toilet to the sink.

I'll definitely keep Lauren's place in my short list of places to stay in Austin."
1472542,14003692,2014-06-09,3920366,Roel,I highly recommend Lauren's place. The house was conveniently located for downtown and Circuit of Americas (XGames). It was spotless clean and the friendly dogs were a welcome perk. Everything was coordinated seamlessly. Both Lauren and her roommate Jamie made this a great experience and I will look to book again in the future. 
1472542,20866606,2014-10-06,4096104,Paul,"Lauren is very nice, and her home is really, really cozy!  This is a great room, with wifi, a TV, a private full bath, and a super cozy bed.  There is a bus near the house (the #2) that will take you downtown, in case you are not driving!"
1472542,21136651,2014-10-12,20699714,Chuy,"Lauren's place was really nice. She was very accommodating and even offered to pick a few things up for us. It's located on one of Austin's many hills, so be careful because you might miss it. Otherwise, our stay was really pleasant. It's not the best place for someone looking to be right in the middle of Austin, but the price is what convinced us. Totally worth it.  "
1472542,21216117,2014-10-13,19361406,Jacqueline,Lauren's home was absolutely beautiful. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. And although we didn't get a chance to meet she left us a detailed note along with some snacks. While all we really did was sleep and shower there I definitely recommend Lauren's place if you're looking for an affordable place to stay in Austin! :)
1472542,22341133,2014-11-03,23042611,Colette,"Both Lauren and her home were wonderful! Her listing was just as it appeared, if not better. Lauren made me feel so welcome and comfortable, even though I was only there for a night. Her room was adorable. She's a little bit outside of central Austin, but if you have a car it's no problem -- just a 5-10 minute drive from the action. "
1472542,28123122,2015-03-18,26541403,Kyle,"Perfect place for SXSW, quiet neighborhood and comfy house. I wasn't in it much but when I was I never felt uncomfortable. 

Lauren provided snacks and was readily available for any assistance i may have needed. "
1472542,28398478,2015-03-23,27564361,Gil,"What a great place to stay in Austin! Lovely home, well appointed, with everything you need for a perfect stay - kitchen, master bath, TVs, WiFi, a comfy bed and a very nice front porch with plenty of chairs if you want to 'sit a spell'.

Lauren is the consummate host, thinking of most everything down to the littlest detail - she made me feel welcome and looked after in true B&B fashion.

The East Austin location is excellent - close to everything via bus or bike, and very convenient for Uber and Lyft service. A bargain compared to the hotels in town, especially during SXSW - plus Lauren's personal touch make this bungalow a great choice when visiting Austin."
1472542,52137790,2015-10-26,43624209,Adelina,Lauren gave the best personalized service from beginning to end! The home was just like the pictures soft and cozy. We loved her pet dog and it couldn't have been more perfect for our one night getaway! We will be back! 
5536539,27972063,2015-03-15,22520606,Jefferson,"Lindsay was the best host I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. The whole process was extremely seamless and smooth. The place was clean and honestly the pictures don't do it enough justice, it's very beautiful and well kept, and it made our whole trip that much more enjoyable! I'd recommend this to anybody that wants to stay comfortably in the Austin area. Can't wait to do business again hopefully soon!"
8132344,51771389,2015-10-24,30963179,Mvf,"The apartment was fantastic, especially the location. The concierge in the building is a great guy to talk to for tips on where to go and even someone to hang out with. The place was clean and spacious and I was even left a welcome pack with breads and jams. Will definitely be looking to stay again. Thanks Daniel!"
4121676,21251542,2014-10-13,20851949,Gabby,"Whitney was truly an amazing host! She made our group feel so welcomed and provided anything/everything we needed. Whitney was easily accessible and communicated throughout the entire process. She even provided us with a list of specific bar, restaurants, and local grocery stores that are in walking distance. The space is super cozy and perfect for a small group visiting in the area for the weekend. We used the space for ACL and it was only a 2.5 mile walk from the festival. This was our first time using airbnb and she exceeded all of our expectations! "
4121676,23611453,2014-12-06,4879578,Devin,"Whitney was a great host!  She was always available when I had any questions, the home was clean, and it had everything we needed.  I rented this space for my birthday and Whitney even went out of her way to bring me a birthday gift!  I would highly recommend renting this space, especially if you are traveling with multiple people!"
4121676,24393844,2014-12-27,4336628,Angela,"What a gem! This place really had it all: location, character, charm and plenty of room for a party of four. I took my parents and my fiance´ to Austin for a holiday weekend getaway and they loved it. 

The pictures are 100% accurate and the three rooms are spacious and everything was spotless. The amazing kitchen and little patio and picnic table in the back are a plus. Whitney, our host, was also extremely responsive and even gifted us with a bottle of champagne which we thoroughly enjoyed. 

In addition, it's within walking distance to so many great restaurants and bars. We strolled over to the ABGB for a few beers and pizza when we got in. The neighborhood is adorable, quiet and safe.
 
Great spot. "
4121676,24574201,2014-12-30,3139973,Jane,"I don't think I could ever say enough, either about Whitney herself or her beautiful home... But that certainly won't stop be from trying ;)

My family and I had an issue with our first airbnb booking and had to find another place last-minute, for check-in day-of. Whitney not only responded immediately, but managed to have her place cleaned and ready for us within a matter of hours. She would then continue to be extremely helpful and responsive, texting me throughout our stay with great restaurant and bar recs, and just to ensure we were comfortable and happy.

And were we ever - her house is GORGEOUS! Exactly as pictured, and pretty much straight out of a magazine. I loved the decor, from the whitewashed walls and linens, to the little pops of color here and there, and the fur and wooden pieces. Truly a decorator's dream! And although we didn't really use either too much, the kitchen is well equipped and lovely, and the backyard/terrace would be great for a BBQ or just evening drinks. 
As Whitney knows (!), being the daughter of a Libra I don't feel anything can be all bad or all good, so if I HAD to include one negative it would be that the water pressure in the smaller shower wasn't all that great - but that's only a minor quibble really, and the shower in the master bath was fab.

On a personal note, Whitney just seems like my kind of chick - we definitely bonded via text during my stay, and I hope to connect with her in person when I'm back in Austin. What a fabulous lady with a beautiful home! Book this now. "
4121676,24688197,2015-01-01,12225227,Zeina,"Very cute, clean and tidy place in south Austin.  Super convenient to all that's 78704. Whitney was super thoughtful and left us a bottle of champagne for NYE. Had a lovely time at this little gem. "
4121676,26823288,2015-02-20,1732893,Laura & Andrew,Whitney house is very clean and uncluttered and is in a very convenient proximity to downtown. She was very responsive to our questions and concerns.
4121676,27181286,2015-02-27,4910344,Shaun,"The house was beautiful, warm and inviting. We were welcomed with beers in the fridge and heat at the optimal temperature. There were three of us and we all had our own beds. Though we didn't spend much time here, as we were here for work, the time we did spend was filled with great conversation and wifi that worked without a hitch. 

Whitney was a wonderful host. Available every time we had a question and made our visit easy. The keyless entrance made coming in and going out a cinch. 

This is a perfect home for 2-5 people as the third bed is a twin, but the space in the house is wonderful for spending time. Thank you for a great visit! We'll be back soon - cheers."
4121676,28201310,2015-03-20,7816889,Angelique,"Whitney has a wonderful house, we loved staying here. It is beautifully decorated, clean and well-equipped. Also the garden is a delightful place to spend an evening under the patio lights. Whitney is very communicative and did everything to make us feel welcome and at home in Austin. The neighborhood is quiet with lovely houses everywhere. We loved riding around on our rented bikes: Austin downtown is within 20 minutes and you can stop at all sorts of nice restaurants, shops and food trucks along the way. To say it the Austin way: Awesome!"
4121676,28739496,2015-03-29,29187650,Emily,"I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Whitney's place!  My friends and I had a great time staying in this quaint neighborhood that is only about a 10 minute ride to downtown.  Whitney was an excellent host, who was very quick with her responses to questions and flexible with time check-in/out times.  She immediately made us feel at home with a nice binder of recommendations of things to do in Austin and include some beer and champagne in the fridge for my friends and I.  You will love your stay here!  The remodeling and outdoor patio were simply amazing."
4121676,29753594,2015-04-12,6655186,Aparna,"Whitney's home is wonderful, comfortably and stylishly furnished. She was very responsive to texts and provided champagne, dip and candy when we arrived. The location is not quite within walking distance of the main restaurant / bar areas, but a very quick drive and Uber / Lyft are readily available in the area. Loved our stay and highly recommend the house for groups of 4-6!"
4121676,30790144,2015-04-27,20673717,Jared,"I selfishly don't want to tell people how awesome this house was - or how hospitable Whitney was - because I want to stay here every time I visit Austin! Very cool neighborhood, $7 Uber from downtown, very good restaurants nearby (Taqueria Arandas, Winebelly, Habanero Mexican Cafe, Elizabeth Street Cafe, Sway Thai Lenoir, etc). 

Super awesome backyard for chilling out and having a cold beer in hot Texas.

Thanks Whitney, we'll be back"
4121676,37800391,2015-07-10,1522523,Ashwin,"whitney's beautiful place was perfect for me and my colleagues on our business trip to austin -- clean, well furnished, and very functional. the house was very close to downtown and had easy access to a lot of great restaurants and bars in the area. will definitely try and stay here again the next time i'm in austin!"
4121676,49457552,2015-10-04,41850844,Whitney,Loved staying in this house! We were welcomed with champagne and OJ in the fridge. The house looks exactly like the posting. Easy walk/bike ride to and from ACL. The back yard is the the perfect sanctuary to start your morning and end your evenings. 
4121676,50453122,2015-10-12,2497204,Jeff,Great ACL experience. Whitney is organized and the house is setup for a group stay. The place was clean and well accommodated.
4121676,52129095,2015-10-26,5789127,Jan,"Loved layout of house - perfect for our situation. Location was great.
Beds quite comfortable. House was very clean and decorated with an artsy flair that we all enjoyed.
Whitney was quite easy to contact and even left us a nice bottle of wine ."
4121676,52764568,2015-11-01,16722010,Ryan,"Whitney was very responsive and a fantastic host, had macaroons and wine waiting for our arrival.  We had a wonderful stay with no problems, the house was great, clean, with beautiful minimal design/decorating.  We had a few visitors over and each person remarked how cool the house was.  Great location in south Austin, convenient to South Congress and 1st, easy to get to downtown/east austin.  Would stay here again definitely.  Backyard is cozy and fun. "
5434902,28754162,2015-03-29,29054678,Alexandria,This was my first AirBnB experience and it was wonderful! This apartment is great and it is the PERFECT location. There is a beautiful view of downtown and you can watch a show at the Stubbs outdoor stage from the apartment. I would highly recommend this place!
5434902,29775226,2015-04-12,13728443,Marissa,The host was very accessible and responsive. The apt is in a very convenient location and was incredibly clean and comfortable! Great place to stay if you want to be right in the middle of Austin's live music scene. 
5434902,30318992,2015-04-20,24642941,Daniel,"We had a great stay.  The owner let us in personally and gave us some helpful recommendations for areas to check out around town.  This is a really centralized location for everything you want to do in downtown Austin.  The apartment is spacious and even has a view of the Stubb's main outdoor stage.  Keep in mind you can hear the show, so great for music lovers... probably not so much if you have to be up early.  Overall, great spot.  "
5434902,32598983,2015-05-19,31782296,Benedict,"This apartment really does have everything on its doorstep. An uninterrupted view of Stubbs outdoor stage from the balcony, 6th street a few minutes away, Rainey St ten minutes, and East Austin another short stroll away. The flat itself was spotlessly clean with an obscenely large and unbelievably comfortable bed, and an enormous bathroom. Brooke's friend Rad met me and had events guides on the table for me already and offered some really useful advice on good spots to head to. In sum, the perfect place to stay for a weekend or longer!"
5434902,33131104,2015-05-25,19652860,Saul,Very great experience! Had all the necessities available. Clean and well kept. 
5434902,44001402,2015-08-23,39754887,Travis & Natalie,Had a late night check in but Rad let us in and showed us around. Gave us some great tips for our trip. Overall great experience. Truly a fantastic location to stay. Even got to go to the pool for a few hours our last day. 
5434902,47426844,2015-09-18,17658424,Erik,"Rad's place was great. Awesome location, clean, as advertised. Communication with Brooke and Rad was super smooth. Definitely recommend!"
5434902,47647738,2015-09-21,28862770,Phillip,"Rad, the owner, met us at the apartment upon arrival.  Very friendly and had some suggestions on where to eat/visit. 

The apartment itself is in a great area, close to Stubbs BBQ and other fun restaurants.  It's also close enough to walk to the famous 6th and Rainey Streets. 

Would definitely recommend staying here.  Large enough for a couple guests. The appliances and apartment is very modern and clean.  Having the Keurig in the apartment was a nice touch.  The AC worked well.

Only one con: Don't stay here if you want to go to bed early as the apartment overlooks the stage at Stubbs and it will be loud."
5434902,51141561,2015-10-18,9818243,Anne,"Location, location, location. This place is in the heart of it all with walking access to downtown, east and west 6th, Rainey and congress. The place itself was decent but a bit dirty, we noticed about a half inch of dust on the fans. I also had to wash the towels twice to get the damp mold smell out. I was told there was a hairdryer and there was none, so remember to bring one with you! "
8193043,46562522,2015-09-11,36351329,Erika,"After planning our mini-vacation to Austin a few months ago, my fiancé and I had the opportunity to leave a day early-- we were on the clock to find some place for a night that would allow us to check in around 2 am. Andreys place was perfect for our quick stay! He was super accommodating with our late arrival and was great/quick with communication. The apartment was safe, clean, and provided a comfortable bed and ensuite bathroom. It was also quiet which was nice. We had to park outside of the complex gate, but it was a quick walk to the apartment (it's up a flight of stairs if that matters). All in all, a great experience-- thanks andrey!"
461404,2988239,2012-11-28,4098067,Robert,"Nita's house was perfect for our 5-day stay in Austin. Close to downtown and bus routes but on a quiet, peaceful street. Also, just around the corner from my favorite bookstore!  Nita was very friendly and helpful.  I would recommend this place for anyone going to Austin.  It felt like home!"
461404,4687628,2013-05-20,28689,Brian And Megan,"Great space, close to everything."
461404,12269665,2014-04-28,11493244,Julie,"Nice two bedroom house in quiet community.  Easy access to all areas of interest.  Host was very helpful in getting us into house and ensuring access to necessary items (ironing board, etc).  Highly recommend!!"
461404,13138405,2014-05-20,13412204,Christina,"The house was clean and the air conditioner worked well.  There was a musty smell but it is an older home and the odor was not over powering.  The queen bed and the living room futon were comfortable.  I had to search for coat hangers and only found 3, I would suggest  getting some more for your guests.  During our stay parking was a problem as the city was paving the street.  I understand from the neighbors that no one received advance notice of this but  if Nita's car had been pulled a little further up the drive (closer to the pile of dirt) I would have been able to park in the driveway too.  This would have been easier and safer for my mother to get to and from the the car than parking in the street the whole week.  There was internet access but only antennae TV stations. I was a little disappointed for the price. That being said, the backyard deck was very nice, there are many fast food restaurants, a large grocery store, and a Walgreen drug store in the area but the house is in a quiet neighborhood. I loved the larger shower head and lots of hot water and the biggest positive for this house was that it was only three blocks from my daughter's home!  


"
461404,18420788,2014-08-26,5955933,Jennifer,Nita was very accommodating and helpful. Her house was perfect for our group. It was cozy and had everything we needed. 
461404,22290338,2014-11-03,18042652,William,"My friend and I stayed at Nita's place during the formula 1 racing. The place have plenty of room for both of us. Even though the house is old, it's clean and neat. I had very easy time communicating with Nita. She's very helpful and quick to respond any questions. "
461404,23452051,2014-12-01,18088749,Cristina,"Huge house in a nice area, fun backyard patio, very comfortable bed in the master bedroom. Best shower! Close to my favorite Blacks BBQ, on Guadalupe.  :)"
461404,28328375,2015-03-22,6146105,Jon,"The house was great, super comfortable and in a great location. Nita was super responsive and everything went without a hitch!"
461404,28845198,2015-03-30,29898429,Michelle,Nita was very nice and informative about the living arrangements before arriving to Austin. Everything we needed was provided and the master bed very comfortable. The location was perfect and close to many restaurants. 
461404,29119941,2015-04-04,5662807,Carol,"This house was perfect for us! It was cute, clean and very ""Austin-y"". The location was awesome! We were within walking distance of Central Market and driving distance of everything else. We were visiting friends in the area, and they were able to come over and hang out with us in the very nice backyard. The house was just what we expected, and Nita was very generous and hospitable. No complaints!"
461404,29923794,2015-04-14,28249485,Bryan,"The house was roomy, comfortable, and centrally located.  My parents stayed here for a few days while visiting me in town.  They really enjoyed the location and comfort of a home.  Nita was available whenever I had a question."
461404,30353859,2015-04-20,17464335,Jeremy,Great house for 4 of us to stay at. It was convenient to go to Austin without us being in the middle of the city. We loved our time there. 
461404,30372702,2015-04-20,31069759,Grace,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
461404,32008137,2015-05-12,19361226,Joseph,"Nita's place is cute, and it worked out great for our stay in Austin. We really enjoyed hanging out on the back porch and in the back yard. It's fairly centrally located, only about a 12 minute drive to downtown. 
Nita is a great host who communicates well. Additionally, she was helpful in recommending nearby stores and places to eat. "
461404,32764905,2015-05-21,3579889,Claire,"Staying at Nita's was like staying with a friend and overall, a fine experience. We were three women and stayed five nights. Nita was responsive and communicative. We were expecting to have wireless internet, but there was none. We had some small issues that weren't deal breakers, but made our stay less pleasant. However, for our budget, Nita's house was a good value. "
461404,33104860,2015-05-25,5895181,Josianne,Nita was a great host and her cute home had all the accommodations we needed and more. She send us a nice informative email well before we arrived that told us everything we needed to know about the house. The house was clean and very comfortable and was close to our friends and family. The neighborhood/house was quiet and peaceful and I would stay here again next time I'm in Austin. 
461404,39665439,2015-07-25,37396731,Scott,"Nita was fantastic.  She has this process down to a science.  She is there just enough to take care of any issues and answer any questions, but otherwise is a silent hand leading your way.  She was very responsive and accommodating leading up to our stay.  She checked in when needed and when a few small issues came up she was quick to resolve them.
The house is on a great street with tons of Austin character.  A very comfortable place with a fantastic backyard to relax in while still being close to everything we needed.  If we ever need another place to stay in Austin, we know who our first call will be."
461404,46238083,2015-09-08,32996706,Sajjad,"This was an awesome house I got last minute, the host was really great at communicating, highly recommended "
461404,49766777,2015-10-06,31730542,Emily,"Nita was very accommodating and communicative before, during, and after our stay at her home. 
Her house is in a convenient location, walking distance to well-known restaurants, supermarkets, and other stores. It was still accessible to the main city of Austin but still away from the noise and bustle of downtown.
Nita did a wonderful job preparing her house for our stay and made clean towels and sheets, coffee and tea, and WiFi available to us. The living room and bedroom were both very cozy, and the bathroom was clean with cute decor. While there were a few minor issues (no microwave, internet was a bit slow), we generally had a great and comfortable stay at her house. "
461404,52166017,2015-10-26,21698378,Sergio,Great small cozy spot for a small group of people. Downtown is only a 10 mnt drive and only a $9-10 Uber ride. I would definitely stAy here again. Nita is great Airbnb host and available when needed.

8644874,50557598,2015-10-12,30722856,Jocelynn,"What a location!! My friends and I stayed here for ACL 2015. There is a B-Bicyle station right down the road and we took a relaxing 30 min ride right to the front gates of the festival! not to mention, at the end of the block is an amazing bagel place for a delicious breakfast/lunch called Rockstar bagels we had both mornings we were here.
Ojas was so accommodating! Last minute our 5 person party was joined with another couple, but there were extra air mattresses, sheets, blankets, pillows, EVRYTHING and they comfortably stayed in their own private studio!!  There was definitely enough space for everyone. We didn't use the kitchen except for the dishwasher. But all the appliances were so new, as someone who loves cooking, I was bummed I didn't get to try out the kitchen! The place was immaculate. Immediatley upon arrival we were impressed and we cannot wait to book here again for our next ACL or Austin adventure!"
8644874,51963596,2015-10-25,45688507,Donny,"Great experience! Ojas is prompt, professional, and friendly in all communication. The house is beautifully updated, and is located close to all of wonderful (weird) downtown Austin. Highly recommend this home if you are looking for a place to stay around downtown Austin!"
8644874,52114979,2015-10-26,415505,A. Alex,"First of all, Ojas, was great in his initial contact with me!  However, his pics don't do him justice!!  My partner and a friend came down for the F1 COTA this past weekend.  The neighborhood is the very cool Eastside of Austin but just a stone's throw from the famous 6th Street.  Lots to do in the area - shops, bars, galleries, restaurants -- all within walking distance or of a bike ride.  The home was spotless!! Not a mark, not a dust ball anywhere!  It's super tidy and well furnished in mid-century styling.  It's perfect for two couples in the main home; we didn't go out to the studio since it rained part of the time and didn't want to track any mud in.  And as the previous renters said, Ojas provided everything!! Fresh linens, soft thick towels, toothpaste, and small toiletries.  He was even kind enough to leave us water and adult beverages as a welcome gift.  The home also had great wifi, cable, and a nice flat screen.  There is also ample parking in the driveway and curbside.  And we were able to get a solid sleep since the immediate block was very quiet.....all in all the host has done a stellar job with his home.  I was ready to throw in the towel, skip the race and just stay tucked in bed!!  We would definitely recommend his home; forget staying in a hotel!!!"
8644874,52920697,2015-11-02,47151269,Julio,"Place was great!! We'll described, everything was nice, clean & new! All the great surrounding of Austin are nearby. Will definitely consider it for the future. "
4820267,28912866,2015-03-31,5390613,Morgan,"Brian's studio was absolutely perfect for my five night stay in Austin. It's a great size and has everything you could possibly need. The studio is newly renovated and everything seemed brand new. Brian was super attentive and answered every email we sent him quickly and was willing to help with any issues we had. He even provided us with a welcome packet filled with instructions for the studio and a list of recommendations for things to do around Austin. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone in the area looking for an amazing place to stay. If I'm ever in Austin again, I'll definitely be renting from Brian! "
4820267,29866875,2015-04-13,24600482,Michael,"Wow! This set the bar high for subsequent airbnb experiences. The newly renovated studio is terrific with many high-end upgrades including remote, electronic shades for the upper windows in this spacious home with 16-foot ceilings! The massive LED flat-screen was a nice addition along with high-tech locks that make the need for keys unnecessary. The neighborhood is superbly located and the community has a rich history. I felt like a local who was warmly greeted by all of the neighbors as I strolled down the street each day to the coffee house, restaurants and shops just a block away from the beautifully landscaped home that boasts old-growth trees.  Far superior to any hotel stay, I was delighted to have this as my first airbnb experience.  

Brian was attentive and gracious in welcoming me to the property. The welcome letter he sends you is a terrific guide to the home and certainly to the must-visit places in the neighborhood. The welcome letter is as attentive to detail as is his attention to detail in providing all of the needs and wants a guest could ask for in their stay. 

The walk to the center of the city is perhaps 10 minutes (I walk fast) and up to UT Austin is a bit longer (~15 min) but a beautiful stroll none-the-less. Uber is easy and inexpensive in Austin and rides across town are no more than 5-10 dollars so it makes this sought after Austin location perfect. I will certainly look to Brian for another reservation at this property when I return to town. Thanks for a great 4-day stay!"
4820267,30106235,2015-04-17,30927467,Allen,"Wow... what a great spot. Having spent the previous week at the Hyatt Regency, this was a breath of fresh air. The location couldn't be beat... in the heart of Austin, but a quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to several restaurants and a market. 

The studio was comfy and spacious at the same time. I took advantage of the great outdoor seating area to have a pizza and wine (note restaurants and market comment above) picnic. 

As for management... this is how AirBandB should work! I received a detailed welcome packet with everything I needed to know about the property and the area. Electronic keypad on the door made ""check in"" and ongoing access a breeze. And throughout the stay, the owner was in contact via email.

If you're coming to Austin, take a hint. Ditch the cookie-cutter hotels. This is the place to stay!"
4820267,30960608,2015-04-29,31741317,Jeff,"We loved Brian's place.  This studio is quite amazing.  It's located in a very cool, desirable neighborhood in Austin and is walking distance to great restaurants, coffee shops and stores (like 2 blocks.)  The studio is also only about 2 miles from downtown Austin ($5-7 Uber ride to most places) or a very safe and beautiful walk.  The studio it's self is modern, immaculate and very cool.  I much preferred these accommodations to any of the downtown hotels that I stayed at in the past.  I will go out of my way to try to stay here again.....it made one of my favorite cities even better."
4820267,31151115,2015-05-02,10019558,Chad,"Brian went out of his way to ensure that our stay at his property was nothing short of perfect.  Professional, polite and on top of every detail.  The house was even better than described and fit the bill for my wife and I, perfectly.  Great neighborhood to boot!  I would absolutely recommend this property and Brian to anyone!
"
4820267,38681851,2015-07-17,17792571,Greg,"The guesthouse was awesome!   Very modern, quiet and peaceful!   Thanks again!"
4820267,38893077,2015-07-19,750604,Manny,"This Studio is all of that and more!  While the description is accurate, it doesn't fully describe how wonderful this studio really is...it is beautifully appointed and has everything needed for a short or long term stay. The location can't be beat with entertainment, groceries, restaurants and recreation all within walking distance. The outdoor seating areas are very private and a great place to relax with wine and conversation. We look forward to returning. "
5539034,28337500,2015-03-22,1534626,Matt,"As a first-time host, Priscilla was attentive and interested in making sure our stay was comfortable."

Overall, I had a great experience and no complaints."
5539034,29310038,2015-04-06,29049867,Eribel,"Priscilla greeted us upon arrival, she showed us the ins and the outs of the house.  As she mentioned the house it a little older, but definitely met the needs of our party.  She made sure we knew how all the appliances worked and check in a few times to make sure everything was fine.  Priscilla had several wonderful places to recommend around the area from outdoor locations, shopping centers, great food and night life.  Close proximity to 6th St and Rainey St.  Overall, great experience.  "
5539034,29851027,2015-04-13,12249743,Garon,"This house was super cool. The interior of the house is clean and organized. Host is super nice and helpful for anything you need. The neighborhood looks a little run down, but it's on the way up. We took numerous walks around the neighborhood and to the river and we never saw anything to make us scared of the area. Definitely an overall bargain!"
5539034,30307887,2015-04-20,29091473,Byron,"Had a great time in Austin staying here. Priscilla was there to show us a quick tour of the house, and checked in periodically to make sure everything went well. The house is small, but there's enough room for five grown men to fit comfortably and not fall all over one another. "
5539034,30461662,2015-04-22,2521524,Karen,What a lovely home!  Loved her decor and had everything we needed. A short drive to downtown area and Rainey Street. Priscilla was easily accessible for any questions we had.  We've already booked another stay in July!  
5539034,30783932,2015-04-27,26407712,Martin,Priscilla greeted us and gave us a personal tour of the house before passing on the keys. She made sure we had plenty of towels and sheets for everybody in the house and recommended a few places down the street to venture off to. The house is at a great location and easy to walk to some new hip bars and it's even 2 minutes away (walking) from Juan and a Million. Everybody complimented on the decor and the character of the house. Will definitely be back next time when visiting Austin :) 
5539034,31449362,2015-05-05,29662092,Amelie,"Experience was amazing. This was a great place. Host was amazing as well. Highly recommend for any weekend stay in austin. Nicely decorated. She supplied us with towels and extra sheets, and made us feel at home. She was very attentive with anything we needed. :) She also recommended some great places near by. Defiantly booking with Casa Willow again soon :) ️️️️️ 5/5 stars "
5539034,31945807,2015-05-12,13876967,Carla,"The house was in a fantastic location if you want to be near the hip part of Austin!

Her super cute home had everything my family needed for their weekend stay from pots and pans to plenty of pillow and blankets. It was my graduation weekend and she left some UT decor for us! I would MOST DEFINETLY book her home again. 
5539034,33305266,2015-05-26,15522792,Kelly,Priscilla's home was cozy clean and relaxing. She was very accommodating and informative on getting us checked in and making sure everything was okay. I would highly recommend her place on airbnb!
5539034,34427386,2015-06-08,28566198,Sarah,"Priscilla's house was the perfect place to stay for our weekend in Austin. The area felt safe and easily accessible. We slept comfortably with up to 8 people one night. She was very easy to contact, gave us a tour of the house and suggestions in the area of things to do and places to eat. With a car, it's very simple to get to, but there are also  lots of places within walking distance. The house was clean and well-furnished - felt very homey and unique, and she stocked the place with towels and toiletries. The front and back porches were great places to hang out. Overall, a great find!"

We were a group of 6 and we all slept comfortably in the 3 sleeping areas. I will definitely be staying at her home the next time I am in Austin. Priscilla was very accommodating and gave us a quick tour  of the property so we felt right at home. Close to the ""Dirty 6th,"" as the locals call it, as well as the new and trendy east 6th. Safe neighborhood. "
5539034,39212294,2015-07-21,12400205,Heather,House exactly as described and very cute. Great location. Walking distance or $5 uber to a lot of downtown/east 6th areas. Fit our group of 5 adults perfectly. Priscilla was very responsive to any questions.

5539034,40983073,2015-08-03,29397049,Kimberly,"Priscilla's East Austin Bungalow was exactly as described: plenty of space to sleep and hang out for 6 people and very comfortable too. I absolutely loved the neighborhood. It was young, and hipster with a juice bar down the block and places to eat and drink within walking distance. Sixth street and Rainey were about a $10 uber ride away. Priscilla was also great a great host. She responded fast to requests and was easy to get ahold of. Will definitely try to stay here again when I come back to Austin. "
5539034,41216566,2015-08-05,2671636,Jill,Priscilla was a great hostess and her charming home was a wonderful place to stay! Her home is walking distance to many neighborhood establishments and a short car ride to downtown. Communication was quick and it was comforting to know she was nearby if we needed anything. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin.
5539034,42005764,2015-08-10,38364714,Deidra,It was my first experience using AirBnB and I can't wait for my next trip! Priscilla was great and the house suited all of our needs. The house is in an upcoming area on the East side close to downtown. It was perfect!

5539034,42459401,2015-08-13,39039378,Erin,Casa Willow was awesome! It was in a great location in a beautiful neighborhood with a bus stop right down the street. Priscilla made sure we were comfortable and was available by text message easily. It was my (and my two friends) first time using airbnb but she made us feel right at home.
5539034,42635907,2015-08-14,39739956,Andrew,"Great value, and great experience!  House was as pictured and very clean.  Host was very hospitable, she was around when we checked in and gave us several good local tips to check out, very friendly.  No complaints at all.  One comment (not really a complaint), the beds in the house are on the small side (i think they were all twin sizes) so if you are a tall individual it might not be the most comfortable sleep.  other than that though, i would recommend this place to friends and family visiting Austin.

The place was spotless clean, very comfortable, charming decor and  so welcoming!
Right on the corner of our favorite juiceland, vegan restaurant counter culture and our delicious favorite restaurant Mr. Natural. 
Priscilla is communicative, accommodating and all around delightful woman. I'm so grateful for the cherished memories my family and I take with us and we can't wait to go back! 
I highly recommend Priscilla as a host for your next trip to downtown Austin!"

5539034,45119581,2015-08-31,39562106,Antoinette,"House was great for a girls weekend -- spacious. I would say less was within walking distance than described in the listing, but you are able to take Uber/Lyft everywhere. Priscilla was very kind & accessible. "
5539034,45299748,2015-09-01,9848834,Johnny,Priscilla was very nice and explained everything not leaving anything for us to guess which is nice when you want to leave someone elses home in the best condition possible.  She was eager to let us know about local places we should check out.  The home was in perfect condition when we got there and there were no bad surprises everything was excellent.  Only thing was I didn't quite know how to work the shower or maybe it just didn't have much water pressure.
5539034,45744436,2015-09-05,298268,Kirk,Priscilla is a sweetheart! The house is really comfortable with a lot space and a great price. I was in Austin for work - tedious long hours of it - so I didn't get out in the neighborhood but I know from previous trips that there are great places to eat and drink just blocks away. The lake trail is only a few blocks away and I used it to ride to work everyday - super convenient with nature y atletas a gustar.

5539034,47146601,2015-09-16,31823472,Susan,"This charming little home suited our needs perfectly. It was clean and neat and had everything we needed for our five night stay. Priscilla is a gracious host and checked in several times via text to make sure we were ok. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it. Thanks, Priscilla!"
5539034,47684762,2015-09-21,25820115,Christa,The neighborhood was nice.  Close to everything and Uber rides downtown are really cheap.  House was clean and looked like the picture.
5539034,48087429,2015-09-23,36824529,Ellen,"We had a wonderful time in Austin! The house was great for the 4 of us, so comfortable and clean with some great art and decor. Also close enough to downtown but out of all the hustle and bustle."
5539034,48890982,2015-09-29,37442811,Jason,Priscilla was very accommodating and the place was even better than we hoped it would be.  I would recommend this place to anyone. 
5539034,49785014,2015-10-06,35568544,Missy,Casa Willow was the perfect fit for our 4 day ACL adventure. Cute restaurants and bars near by and everything was a short Uber ride away. The house was cozy and comfortable.
5539034,50628302,2015-10-13,11004183,Lis,"We loved staying here for the short one night we did! It was a sweet neighborhood with lots to explore. Easy access to nightlife, restaurants and cafes. Would have gladly made this our home base for longer if we had time. Priscilla was gracious and helpful via text message. "
5539034,51432139,2015-10-20,12152945,Michelle,"The house was exactly as pictures and in a great neighborhood! We liked the bar Stay Gold, and brunch places Weather Up (biscuits Benedict = YUM) and Cenote. Priscilla responded quickly once we were in the house. "
5539034,51932410,2015-10-25,44675896,Subramanian,"The house was just as seen in the pictures and as explained by Priscilla. It was a very comfortable experience. Key pick-up and drop of were made easy. The house is beautiful with all basic amenities. The mattresses were firm and comfortable. Though we didn't use the kitchen, it is equipped with all the basic necessities. It was a pleasent surprise to see bath towels provided in a non-hotel setting. The house is a short Uber drive from E6th street. Totally worth the listing price. I think we found a home the next time we visit Austin."
5539034,52206594,2015-10-27,3303663,Alain,"Beautiful house  in quiet neighborhood close to Austin Convention St and shops .Well equipped .We feel comfortable . I recommend highly Princilla 's house for a trip to AUSTIN. Unfortunately , Priscilla was hospitalized but house key was available at our arrival and Priscilla also by phone .Everything was OK . Get well Priscilla! "
5659440,28919913,2015-03-31,28363628,E. Natasha,"Wow! What an amazing first AirBnB experience to be had! Josh and Alan were better hosts than I could have dreamed up! Not only was the room/space/yard/location amazing and perfect, but so was his personality and hospitality! I felt right at home. I seriously almost texted him to ask for his monthly rate as I laid in the most comfortable bed I have ever encountered! The backyard is literally an oasis! Such a great place to sit and ponder life/upcoming day with a beverage of your choice! Make sure you arw wearing outdoorsy shoes in order to cross the cutest little creek in the world! Also, the dogs are ao sweet! If you have been in need of some doggie loving, Piper and Tobee will help fulfill that for you! Ugh, miss then already! 

Even though I was familiar with Austin, Josh provided great recommendations and even took me on an ice cream trip! - within walking distance! Sooo good! 

Pictures cannot even come close to representing how perfect rhia place is! 

Stay here if you like great decor, nature, happy loving environments, doggies, Austin, comfy beds and did I say great decor!? 

Check out his great DIY book wall! So Inspiring! 

I almost didnt want give such a good review because I kind of want the room all to myself, but I suppose I can share. 

Thanks so much!! :-)"
5659440,30060464,2015-04-16,9358608,David,"Josh is really accommodating and friendly and helped me out on short notice. The apartment is very nice; two friendly non barking dogs, and a super comfortable bed. I think the sheets were the fanciest I've ever slept on. It's a total win to stay here. Nothing negative to say at all... If only all hosts were this good."
5659440,30176198,2015-04-18,17797021,Walter,"I arrived pretty late in the night and Josh waited up for me, which was nice. Great experience, would definitely recommend him."
5659440,30362476,2015-04-20,31282009,Brett,Incredible place and hospitality. Gorgeous home and clean as can be. Guys are fantastic people and really accommodating to your needs.
5659440,31406591,2015-05-04,22986358,Dennis,We had an amazing experience. Great space great  couple amazing puppies. This space is so welcoming as are the host. We are proud to come back and now also call them friends. 
5659440,31669088,2015-05-08,29935078,Jill,"Josh and Alan made sure I felt completely welcome when I entered the home even though it was pouring outside. It was cozy and inviting and their dogs were so well behaved and welcoming too! I had written on my page I was in Austin to see a band, and they had that band playing when I entered! IT was a perfect touch to make it feel like a vacation for me. They showed me great places to eat at; we even hung out for a night and they introduced me to a few of their friends. The house was very well decorated and inviting and I also was able to have my own private time in the home and come and go as I pleased. They gave me a welcoming letter with instructions on what to do in the area, their phone numbers in case of anything and where i could find anything i needed; and it was super easy to feel right at home. I would definitely recommend Josh's home to my friends if they were visiting Austin. The location allowed me to feel spread out and see the whole town because it was in a cozy wooded area but was still just a short distance downtown and to anywhere else. I loved Austin! "
5659440,31994129,2015-05-12,4168290,Jill,Josh was an amazing host. Told me great places to go. The place was really clean and beautiful surroundings. I also fell in love with his dogs!! He was always helpful and went out of his way with kindness.  Thank you Josh and Alan!!
5659440,32600173,2015-05-19,1151213,Jolene,"Josh was such a great host. He really went out of his way to make me feel at home. I have nothing but great things to write about my stay.  The beautiful wooded area behind Josh & Alan's home is so peaceful - I could have spent hours out there. Their dogs are super sweet. The guest room is inviting with such a comfortable bed - I slept so well during my stay. I would love to return to Josh & Alan's beautiful home on my next visit to Austin. 
"
5659440,33132431,2015-05-25,7246389,Michael,"My girlfriend and I had a great stay with Josh. He was very accommodating and was very clear and upfront about the fact that we could make ourselves at home with use of the bathrooms, kitchen, washer and dryer, and whatever else we needed. They left us some waters and snacks in our room and had storage space for our clothes, which was a big plus. 

Josh also provided recommendations for sights to see and restaurants to go to if you need some help figuring out what to do!

Last point I'd like to make is they have 2 amazing dogs who were great at making us feel welcome and being cute."
5659440,33408919,2015-05-27,12400816,Sara,"With the exception of the weather and mosquitos, this was a perfect first visit to Austin. We were close to all of the places we visited (which helped when the streets started to flood) and yet far enough away so that it was really quiet at night. The backyard was beautiful, only wished it was better weather so we could have sat by the fire... oh well, next time! 
Thanks to Josh and Alan for being so welcoming and providing great recommendations for food/entertainment! "
5659440,35895802,2015-06-22,2999417,Elishia,"The room and location were as described on site. Confirmation turn around time was excellent, as we were making plans last minute. Josh was very welcoming and the atmosphere was laid back. It had rained so we did not spend much time in the back area. Any concerns were quickly and appropriately addressed. We loved having access to netflix and felt right at home. The two dogs were well behaved. The bedding was very soft and comfortable. We would stay here again in the future. Thanks Josh, you made part of our spontaneous get away a success. "
5659440,36838181,2015-07-01,32299715,William,"My experience staying with Josh was great! He was accommodating and met all my needs. He let me use his kitchen to cook a meal for my girlfriend on her birthday!! This most definitely earned me some points with her. If you are into outdoor space, he definitely has everything covered there as well. Very cool back yard indeed! I HIGHLY recommend. "
5659440,37259519,2015-07-05,36863810,Katy,Josh and Allen were wonderful hosts! Both were extremely welcoming and provided great tips on must sees in Austin. Piper and Toby were great too! Can't get much better than these guys! 
5659440,37811280,2015-07-10,37533923,Burton,"Josh and Alan were both wonderful hosts! Although they were unable to be there when I arrived, Josh made sure that everything was ready for me when I arrived. He couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The guest room is nicely appointed, and has excellent air conditioning, which was essential when I was in Austin.

I can't possibly overstate how nice and kind Josh and Alan are, and I'm proud to call them friends. And their dogs warmed up to me pretty quickly. I do give awesome belly rubs, though, so there's that.

I don't think it's possible to appreciate how amazing and special this property is without spending a few days here. The backyard opens up into a trail leading down to to a wooded creek, and that trail continues along to a public park. It's all very tranquil. And at night, the wooded creek erupts into a chorus of frogs and crickets. You can't hear it from inside the house, but it was one of my favorite things about my stay. Staying here gives you the feeling of being in the secluded wilderness, but you're only a few blocks away from Torchy's Tacos. I went three times. I may have a problem. And you're also a three dollar Uber ride away from downtown and East Austin, with everything that it has to offer.

Incredible location, incredible hosts."
5659440,39110403,2015-07-20,22799485,Jamie,Josh and Alan were beyond wonderful hosts! His description is everything it says it is and more. This house is the perfect location if you want to go anywhere in central Austin. I immediately felt right at home and Josh was there for anything that I needed. Their dogs are so adorable and sweet as well. This is a truly unique property with great hosts!
5659440,40266302,2015-07-29,15666816,Mie,"The sweetest folks ever! We had the best time with Josh, Alan and their lovely dogs! We really felt like we made new friends - and we so much hope to see them again! We slept like little babies in the bed - and we tried all of Josh' tips for Austin - and they all worked out beautifully! Both Josh and Alan are so kind and giving - which a Danish couple as ourselves can appreciate big time! Big hugs! And you should go there! AND the dog Piper looks like Anne Hathaway!  "
5659440,41274679,2015-08-05,39762613,Eduardo,"Had a pleasant stay chez Josh :) The room was very clean and the location itself was ideal. We only had to drive 10 min to get to downtown Austin. He also gave us a very informative welcome letter that answered questions I didn't even know I had :P Their dogs were very friendly and quiet. The bed very comfortable! Josh was very approachable regarding places of interest around the area. Overall, this was a great first experience using Airbnb!"
5659440,41640272,2015-08-08,18485786,London,Such a fun atmosphere! The room was exactly as described and our stay was seamless from start to finish. We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stay again!
5659440,42005858,2015-08-10,34781759,Madeline,"Josh & Alan were ABSOLUTELY amazing! We honestly couldn't have ask for a better host! They made sure we were taken care of. It was also my sister and I first time using Airbnb and First time in Austin and we couldn't have asked for a better first time experience! They were also so close to Almost everything! They made us feel like we were at home! If you're ever in Austin and need a place to stay, Josh & Alan will definitely take care of you!"
5659440,43188331,2015-08-17,29125557,Samantha,"This was mine and David's first Airbnb exprience and it was amazing! Josh and Alan were super sweet and accommodating. The house and room were exactly as described and it was lovely. We loved that the house had a whimsical ""country"" feel but it's only 10 minutes or so from downtown Austin. We could have ridden our bicycles everywhere, if we had brought them. We enjoyed every minute. We would definitely stay with them again!"
5659440,43825572,2015-08-22,40209291,E.J.,My stay with Josh and Alan was great.  They are both great hosts.  Their home and the room was very relaxing and they provided water in the refrigerator in the room along with granola bars and snacks too.  Both Josh and Alan are great guys and I would have no hesitation about recommending them to anyone.  When I am in Austin next time I will definitely book again with them and have even offered to have them stay at my home if they are ever in my area.  The home is very private in a wooded surrounding and is very peaceful and their 2 dogs are very extremely friendly.  Being a dog owner myself it was nice to have a couple animals around the house.  Thanks guys for a great time!
5659440,44721889,2015-08-28,40618558,Anna Claire,"Josh & Alan's home is really something special. It's gorgeous interior & the funkiest backyard I think I've ever seen. The bed was GREAT, fell asleep before I knew it. & they left me snacks, goodies & a phone charger on the bedside table which I thought was above & beyond. I would go back anytime."
5659440,47294467,2015-09-17,6201704,Mary,"Josh's place was in a very comfortable and quiet neighborhood. My room was sunny, clean and well stocked with fruit, water and snacks. I will consider it home next time I am in Austin.
"
5659440,47718614,2015-09-21,41203796,Matthew,"Josh and Alan were gracious hosts, and their home was lovely. Friendly pups and a cozy room made for an excellent stay. Josh was super knowledgeable and always helpful about what Austin has to offer. Thanks for everything!"
5659440,48480149,2015-09-26,2708426,Ashley,"Josh was the most warm and welcoming host I've ever met through airbnb! The mini fridge in the room was stocked with water and organic juice boxes and we even came home from a night out on the town to more welcome gifts.  The house was perfect and the backyard was quite charming. Very nice area and so close to Austin treasures like Red's Back Porch, The Broken Spoke, and Saxon Pub. Absolutely loved the stay!"
5659440,50618695,2015-10-13,11927348,Michael,"We had a awesome time with Josh and Alan, they were the perfect hosts for such fun weekend in Austin. The place is truly unique, nestled in a cul-de-sac with a really cool yard and creek in the back. The guy have a great sense of style and really have made their place feel like a welcoming home. Loved it!"
5659440,51396413,2015-10-19,139448,Latha,"I spent a weekend at Josh and Alan's. They are a very friendly couple and made you feel at home immediately. Very informative and they had good recommendations for food, trail runs, and places to hang out at. Also, they are there when you need help / information, but otherwise they are busy with their work / study.
The place is well located with a 10 minute drive to every thing in Austin. 
The dogs are the cutest with Piper at the door at anytime of the day.. I will surely be back next time when I am in Austin!!"
5659440,52007014,2015-10-25,46953680,Heather,Josh and Alan's place was very comfortable and secure. The location was convenient and wonderfully quiet-essentially no racket from neighbors or traffic . J and A were away but their friend Michael and the dogs made us feel quite at home. Enjoyed the accommodations and serenity until the harsh weather moved in! 
5659440,52516704,2015-10-30,41722635,Stephen,"Josh was an awesome host and definitely took every care to ensure I was accommodated during my stay, even with his busy schedule.  The house is very charming and the dogs are very sweet as well.  All in all, I had a very comfortable stay!"
5659440,52801134,2015-11-01,1678867,Harley,"Josh and Allen are incredibly welcoming and friendly. The house is just as described in the listing and the neighborhood couldn't have been more perfect for what I was looking for. The room is super cozy and the tv with appleTV/netflix/hulu, etc was awesome. The room even has a small fridge with drinks and there were some small goodies to snack on as well. "
2336368,10889369,2014-03-11,2590479,Abbey,"Mari and Danny were absolutely delightful, as was their house and their adorable pet pigs, Paco and Beto. 

After spending over a week in Austin for SXSW, I can honestly say my favorite part of being there were my days at their house. Their style is fantastic, the room comfy and complete with anything I needed, the little mini backyard farm was wonderful -- all in all, it was a respite from the bustle of downtown, but close enough to the action while showing another side of Austin. 

They made sure I had everything I needed, and Mari even went out of her way to help me get around when needed. 

I can't say enough good things about Mari and Danny -- my first trip to Austin was a huge success, in part because of this awesome couple. Hope to make it back again soon so I can stay there again!"
2336368,11050872,2014-03-18,357167,Romain,"Was perfect, Mari and Danny were amazing hosts, stayed there for a week, had the option to use a bike to cycle around town, Danny even drove me to the airport in his nice Chevy El Camino.
The house is great, the room is super clean and friendly with own bathroom/toilet.
The only problem is the 2 pet pigs Paco and Beto, they're so so cute you will want to bring them home with you, will probably not be possible !"
2336368,28077176,2015-03-17,11373321,Szelena,"Mari and Danny are perfect hosts! Their home is cozy, the room is immaculately kept, and they think of all the small things — I especially appreciated the extra toiletries in the bathroom. They also made me feel totally at home, and were super helpful as I navigated Austin for the first time. Like I said, perfect!"
2336368,28270955,2015-03-21,21591709,Adam,"Although our schedules didn’t overlap much, Mari & Danny were very gracious hosts throughout our visit for SXSW. They left us handwritten notes on the kitchen counter along with a few snacks to feed the charming pet pigs. They offered tips to make our stay more enjoyable including a great recommendation for delicious banh mi sandwiches at a nearby food truck. Their house was totally comfortable and welcoming, and the location was an easy trip on the bus to downtown or a quick Uber ride home at night. Loaner bikes were perfect to explore the East Austin neighborhood. Our last morning, Mari was so generous to offer us a ride in her classic El Camino to meet someone for breakfast all the way across town."
2336368,29329294,2015-04-06,5709005,Lisa,"Mari and Danny are the sweetest hosts you will ever stay with! From leaving sweet notes, to including you in their snacks, to making great recommendations, to giving you plenty of space to enjoy your stay and trip, these are people you'll want in your lives as friends forever. At least, I know I do!

The room is lovely and relatively separate from the rest of the house, with it's own bathroom. And you enter through the back door of the house, so it all feels really private. I felt like I had my own little apartment! The backyard is lovely and how generous are they to provide a bike so that you can get around Austin, which is super bike friendly. They are also very close to bus lines and I was able to get everywhere I needed to go without a car with zero hassle. I even stolled to their home once from Town Lake and it was a gorgeous hour long walk. The pigs are sweet, clean and quite a treat to spend time with. 

I loved, loved my stay here and know that you will, too."
2336368,29988989,2015-04-15,4349612,Mo,"We had a wonderful long weekend in Austin and staying at Mari and Danny's made it comfortable, convenient and fun. The room and house (and pets :-)) were exactly as portrayed in the listing and we were more than satisfied as guests. They are warm hosts, providing great recommendations for brunch, parks to visit, and events. The house and room were charming and they had all the little extras that make staying somewhere feel like home.

Communication before and during our trip was excellent. Our travel times were challenging and they were flexible about our late night arrival and very early morning departure. We loved the neighborhood and took off on foot a couple of days to explore. Staying here made us feel like we were part of Austin, which is something we really wanted out of this vacation.

I have to add that we also loved getting to know Paco and Beto and already miss them and our hosts. We felt like we had stayed with friends, even though we had never met them before this trip. That was an unexpected delight."
2336368,30325180,2015-04-20,29825560,Daniel,Danny and Mari treated me like family!The room was comfortable and private. The location is great. It is very close to downtown Austin. There are many great restaurants right in the neighborhood. 
2336368,30938579,2015-04-29,9509908,Matt And Elena,"Mari and Danny were the best hosts we have encountered so far in all our experiences with AirBNB over the last two years.  They were very thoughtful and always looking for opportunities to fill our every need whether it be an umbrella or a ride or a blanket.  As fellow hosts back home we were definitely taking notes!  They allowed us to use their bikes free of charge and they were quality bikes with locks and lights we made great use of.  We both agreed the best part of the trip was enjoying a bottle of wine and good conversation with them.  Such a great vacation all thanks to their hospitality.  If you go to Austin, stay HERE!!"
2336368,31453267,2015-05-05,30314111,Brady,"Mari & Danny were awesome! From the moment we walked in, Mari was ready to provide suggestions and make sure sure we felt right at home. There was a full line up of toiletries and city guides in our rooms, which is always helpful. East Austin is a cool place to walk around, lots of unique restaurants, homes, and businesses to check out, and ultimately not far from the Downtown area. They are both great, interesting people, even joining us for a trip to a craft brewery on the other side of town. Definitely would recommend staying with Mari & Danny to anyone. Plus the pigs are cool. "
2336368,32116975,2015-05-14,715333,Olivera,"I don't have words good enough to describe the great experience we had at Mari&Danny's!!!! It was like being home away from home. The communication was so easy from the start, Mari responding fast to every question we had. The neighbourhood is residential and quiet, still very close to the center with buses 4 and 17, big supermarket HEB at walking distance. The house is spacious and we had 2 rooms with private bathroom, with as much privacy we wanted. But Mari and Danny are such an easy-going couple, kind and interesting and funny to be around. Mari stuffed the bathroom with all the toiletries we might (and might not) need :) Paying attention to every little detail. Rooms were one individual and other double, with comfy beds and enough room for all our stuff (we were 3 girls staying there). We could use the washing/dryer machine, occupied half the fridge, could cook and we drank ALL their filter coffee!!!! :) We were there for the Levitation festival, but the time we spent with this amazing couple was like being around life long friends. Danny was even kind enough to drive us around to do some shopping and last night we went for drinks with them and had a great time!!! They have a back and front yard, where we could chill, smoke, have a beer/coffee, listen to music. Even though they have 2 pot-belly pigs as pets, the house is clean and has no strange smells. Paco and Beto are adorable!! Staying with this great guys is the best Airbnb experience I've had so far, and to be honest, I think unbeatable! :D Love you guys, miss you and hope to see you again some day! 
Big kiss&hug from Bia and Ivi, as well.

So, people, have no doubts and search no more: stay at Mari&Danny's!!!!"
2336368,32524370,2015-05-19,2989045,Matthew,"Mari and Danny are genuinely nice people. Easily the best host I've had for Airbnb or EVER for that matter.  It's easy to give a snack to the guest or leave some notes on places to go, but to have quality conversation and become friends is a whole extra amenity! Shout out to my homies Paco and Beto. My two favorite pigs. Thank you guys! - Matt and Jessi"
2336368,32916514,2015-05-23,30986662,Michelle,"Mari and Danny were excellent hosts! They were incredibly sweet and welcoming. They even left me chips and salsa for when I arrived and Texas beer in the fridge. The little touches were wonderful additions that made a great stay even better! Their communication was thorough and timely. They left me helpful notes so I'd have what I needed. I didn't have to think or ask for anything, they thought of it all before hand. 
The pigs, ducks, and chickens were part of the reason I choose their place, so it wasn't something I'd thought much about but lots of friends were asking me questions about that so I thought it was worth talking about here. Their home is incredibly clean. The animals are mainly outside. The piggies come in at night. I wouldn't stay in a house with dogs, because people sometimes are more used to their dogs jumping up on people than I appreciate. The pigs are much better behaved than any dogs I've been around. 
I'd highly recommend staying with them and hope I have the opportunity to do so next time I'm in Austin!"
2336368,33369491,2015-05-27,7804609,Amy,"Mari and Danny were amazing!  Their house is cozy and cute, the room had plenty of space for 2 people and we could even hang our clothes up in the empty closet.  The bathroom was nice and clean with good water pressure and plenty of hot water.  They also had toiletries for us so it was nice not to have to pack that kind of stuff.  If you drive, they have plenty of parking on the street and their house was easy to find.  Ubers downtown were around $7, and even very affordable if you were taking one further.  They were both friendly and helpful and just a really sweet couple.   Communication was easy and they were accommodating with us arriving on a late flight.  Their pet pigs are adorable, friendly and well behaved.  "
2336368,46948413,2015-09-14,2197657,Scott,"An adorable apartment, super friendly hosts with great knowledge of Austin, and plenty of friends and fowl to greet you. This place is just dripping with good Austin flavor."
2336368,47902385,2015-09-21,44222653,Garrett,"Awesome. Everything about staying Danny and Mari was amazing. Right when we arrived Danny was there to show us around the place, and the place was perfect. It was clean, homey and practical. Not to mention the bed was amazing.

They were more than accommodating, from letting us use their grill to driving us to Barton Springs. We enjoyed an evening of wining and dining on their cozy outdoor patio, as well as a fantastic BBQ lunch. 

The place was minutes from downtown, and there was plenty to do nearby. An uber to anywhere worth while was 5-7 buck. 

Anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin, we highly recommend Mari and Danny. "
2336368,48433195,2015-09-26,32706024,Kuzi,"We had a great time staying with Mari and Danny. When we arrived they were super welcoming and had the suite spotless and even some beer in the fridge:). The suite is very updated and in my opinion the perfect way to spend a few days exploring Austin. From the ducks, pigs and chickens to the large shady trees in the backyard, the minute you arrive you feel the Austin vibe. We were very comfortable and would definitely stay there again. They also were very responsive and checked in to make sure everything eas going well. "
2336368,48912446,2015-09-29,7992105,Hanna,"If you're considering where to stay in Austin, this is the place! A friend and I recently stayed with Mari and Danny at their adorable East Austin home and absolutely loved it.  The living area is large, comfortable, private, and just as adorable as it looks in the photos.  We especially appreciated all of the thoughtful little details Mari and Danny put into our AirBnb experience, including an espresso machine, a six pack of beer, some fruit, toiletries, and the cutest decorations. 

East Austin is safe, up and coming, and is only a $7ish Uber or Lyft ride away from downtown.  We loved meeting Paco & Beto (the adorable pigs), the rest of the animals, and especially Mari & Danny.  Best hosts ever! "
2336368,49633464,2015-10-05,42507300,Danielle,"Danny & Mari are amazing and so hospitable! Their place in East Austin is rad and has everything you need for your stay, plus some! Pluses like a 6 pack in the fridge upon arrival, complimentary espresso machine and adorable animal friends in the back yard! Location is very convenient to get to and from all the happening spots in the city via uber or lyft for a reasonable price ($7 to $15). The room is private, spotless, spacious and what I am calling Texas-chic. If I ever venture back down south, Danny & Mari's spot is where I wanna stay!"
2336368,50095552,2015-10-09,19914713,Samantha,"I had a wonderful stay at Mari & Danny's while in town for work for the week between ACL fest weekends. I loved all the thoughtful little touches like post cards and coffee and sugar, etc. the apartment overall is super clean, comfortable &  adorable!! Danny even nicely offered me a bike & helmet to borrow! I also bragged to friends about staying in a spot with adorable pigs & ducks :) loved it here & can't wait to stay again. Thanks so much to Mari and Danny for being great hosts!"
2336368,50639678,2015-10-13,22728653,Charles,"Staying with Maria and Danny in Austin was a delight. Being our first AirBNB stay, we didn't know what to expect. Our hosts made us welcome even before our arrival, with offers to find us anything we needed. From the welcoming refreshment on the counter and in the fridge, to the comfortable and well-equipped suite - we were at home as soon as we arrived.

Our visit was spent with family in Austin. For us, that meant that during the long weekend we were gone from our snug, comfortable, pleasant lodgings early each day - and returned late, so to regret not having the opportunity to enjoy more of the Diaz' hospitality. We are looking forward to our next visit, and hoping to find Mari and Danny's digs available again. 

Quiet neighborhood close to downtown and many entertainment venues, friendly and personable hosts, walk to great coffee and whatever sort of food you like - that's Mari's and Danny's."
2336368,52061228,2015-10-26,12356599,Derrick,"Mari and Danny were awesome host with an awesome place.  Danny was in the backyard on our arrival and was very personable from the get-go, assured us if we needed anyting to please ask.  We also got the meet the animals right off the bat, they were endless entertainment throughout.  

The space is exactly like pictured.  Comfortable bed and a/c works great.  Bathroom had all the necessities and the shower also had great pressure.  Mari and Danny were nice enough to leave a best of Austin paper, a 2015 beer guide, and Danny even sent me his personal google maps cheat sheet.  

Location is 5 mins away from downtown Austin, great spot, my Uber ride was always between $3 - 7. 50.  

All in all, a great experience with great people.  Highest recommendation "
2336368,52834064,2015-11-02,43016724,Ben,We really enjoyed our stay and Mari and Danny could not have been better hosts.  They were always available when needed but were not intrusive. The unit was spotless and everything you could need was provided. I personally loved the espresso machine and six pack of Lone Star in the fridge. We have no complaints and would gladly stay here again. 
5339972,26811532,2015-02-19,27946763,Michael,"Such an amazing stay!!!  Cannot wait to return to stay in this very fun and relaxing retreat.  The hosts made sure to think of every detail, from a selection of coffees in the am to where to have the best possible BBQ in Austin.  Wish we had made time to relax in the jacuzzi, but this city is too exciting.  For the next guest staying here, making sure to play some of the vinyl on the record player, killer collection.  Getting on the road now and feeling great from the terrific mattress in Lionel Richie's room.  The house was also so clean, it made me feel like I need to step up my game at home.  Thanks for a GREAT stay!!!"
5339972,26967587,2015-02-22,28021700,Chase,"Tune Inn was such a great place to spend our weekend. Roger was very informative and welcoming into the space and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house is VERY clean and comfortable and most importantly, FUN!! There are plenty of games and musical attributes that kept us entertained the entire weekend. The beds are very comfortable and are fitted with nice linens. This house has great water pressure and the towels provided for the bathrooms are excellent! Overall, we loved it and plan on returning to the Tune Inn for our next visit.  "
5339972,28084427,2015-03-17,22768255,Dixon,"Fantastic experience from start to finish! Roger was incredibly helpful and made sure that everything ran smoothly despite many last minute scheduling changes. We had a really amazing stay and the house was organized, clean and really comfortable. A ton of amenities like coffee and laundry detergent were also provided and were very much appreciated. Overall, a great experience! "
5339972,28271321,2015-03-21,27931693,Melissa,"Great location:
Super hip neighborhood. Definitely walkable to downtown but perfect for renting bikes!

Great amenities:
Super clean modern remodel with rad music themed rooms.
The kitchen came stocked with all the cooking essentials such as oils, spices, coffee, tea,  and popcorn! They have a closet stocked full of personal essentials such as phone chargers, batteries, suntan lotions, umbrellas, you name it! 

Great hosts!
They let us check in several hours early and gave us a personal tour.
We had a minor issue with the air conditioning and they were there within 30 minutes to check it out. They really went above and beyond to make our stay a 5 star experience.

This place truly has it all.
We'll be back.

"
5339972,28715785,2015-03-29,20671315,Eli,"Amazing house and location. 5 minutes from absolutely everything in Austin. Newly remodeled so everything feels brand new. Roger took the time to stock the place full of anything you may need or forget to pack and organized everything in such a way that it's all easily located. I rented the house for the backyard, and as impressive as it was, the inside was just as much fun. Definitely looking to stay here again the next time I visit Austin."
5339972,29106040,2015-04-04,19025013,Katherine,"Had a great stay at the Tune Inn. The house is beautifully appointed with everything that you could ever need. Seriously anything you could think of is there...extra toothbrushes, koozies, sunscreen, extra chargers and a whole stash of baby gear which was much appreciated.  We had 5 adults and one infant and the house was very comfortable for all. We especially loved the back patio complete with a hot tub, darts and other games. The beds were comfy with luxurious linens and the towels were plentiful and super soft. Best of all though is the central location of the home. It was a short walk to all of our favorite spots (the food trucks on 1st street, the shops/restaurants/bats on S Congress, Peter Pan Mini Golf etc). The street itself is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Roger was a dream to work with. Extremely friendly, flexible and a great ambassador to Austin...available without being intrusive. Highly recommend the Tune Inn!"
5339972,29502969,2015-04-08,23676971,Kristin,"This house was absolutely AMAZING! It was in a great location, was impeccably clean and had a lot of really fun amenities. We had 6 girls stay here for a 30th birthday celebration and we definitely utilized the karaoke machine, hot tub, darts, cornhole, ping pong and foosball! The backyard was really our own little paradise. Roger and Lorraine were extremely helpful, knowledgeable about the area, thoughtful, and super friendly. They had the house stocked with everything we could possibly need. Shall we return, we would for sure be staying here again! "
5339972,29890153,2015-04-13,6297335,Karen,"Immaculate, well thought out house that was aesthetically very pleasing. Roger and Lorraine genuinely wanted us to have a good time and enjoy the place. They communicated how to use things well, and were friendly and helpful. Much thought went into providing all that we could want- bounty of towels, lovely bathrooms, great kitchen, comfortable beds, entertainment, beautiful serene  garden, fresh coffee and tea as well as hot tub and karaoke. They have a code they create for you to get in the house, so you don't have to worry about keys or anything.

This location seems ideal as well. I was amazed to find such a quiet little area right near the action! 

What more could you ask for?"
5339972,30088667,2015-04-17,25544539,Rob,"This home was excellent, and perfect for me and two work colleagues to stay in style while in Austin.  The savings over a hotel was significant.  We each had the privacy of our own room, and took advantage of the fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces to entertain some friends.

Roger was an excellent communicator, and met us at check in.  He walked us through the very immaculate and well organized house that had everything we needed (and more).

I will definitely rent this place again."
5339972,30216410,2015-04-19,4756394,Vanessa,The Tune Inn was a dream. The house was even better than expected and had everything you could possibly need. Roger was a superb host who made himself available at all times but did not at all interfere with us having the house to ourselves. The location of the house was also great. Most things were a 5-10 minute car ride away. I would very highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin with a group. 
5339972,30291405,2015-04-20,9931842,Tasha,"We rented the house as a group of 5 after the MS150, it was perfect. Communication between myself and our host was always prompt and helpful. We were greeted upon arrival and provided a tour, it made us feel comfortable and aware of all the amenities (and there are a lot!). 

The home is everything you'd want in a short or long term stay. Unfortunately for us this trip was short. A few awesome things about this place... Plenty of space for a group of 6, walking distance to many happening spots in downtown, the outdoor space has many games for those groups that like action and keeping busy. The inside is equipped with board games, movies, karaoke, records and probably a few other things I'm forgetting. :)

I would recommend Roger's place and we will definitely book again for future group trips. I could honestly write an entire short book about how awesome Tuned Inn is but you should just experience it for yourself!!"
5339972,30672245,2015-04-26,1606550,Jamie,"We had an amazing stay at the Tune Inn. My sisters and I all met in Austin for the comedy festival. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to stay. It was in walking/biking distance of downtown and tons of great restaurants and food trucks. Roger and Lorraine were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The house was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Although the city itself definitely kept us busy the backyard was a nice paradise to return to. The hot tub was enjoyed on a daily basis after swimming holes on the green belt trail. Roger and Lorraine also had excellent recommendations on things to see in the city. Not only would I recommend the tune inn as a great place to stay, if we are ever back in Austin we would definitely stay there again."
5339972,31879799,2015-05-11,24986810,Peter,"Without a doubt, this is the best experience I've ever had staying anywhere - and this includes expensive boutique hotels.   This place is gorgeous, spacious, and welcoming.  Everything is very thoughtfully laid out and comfortable.  The amenities and little extras were completely mind blowing and show a level of thoughtfulness I didn't know was possible.  Did you forget a phone charger?  Roger's got that covered.  How about one for your rental car? Done. Do you like to make cold brew in a stock pot and strain it into a pitcher? Got you covered for that.  Want to make some hot coffee in the morning? Got it.  Did your clothes get all muddy at an outdoor music festival and you wish you could wash them before packing them up? Got it! Would you like a refreshing, cleansing face wipe? You get the idea.  I could not come up with anything I wished that this place could not accommodate.  Every appliance, switch, etc was thoroughly labeled with easy to follow instructions.  The back yard is gorgeous and was our favorite place to hang out while recuperating from Psych Fest.  The beds were super comfortable with great sheets.  The towels were LUXURIOUS.  Every kitchen appliance you could possibly want, from a  toaster to a slow-cooker was at our disposal.  The fridge allowed me to choose between cubed or crushed ice.  I can't think of any reason why even the most unreasonable, demanding person would not be thrilled with this place.  

I'd like to warn off anyone who's looking to party in the back yard all night though - this is a quiet neighborhood, and I don't want you to get Roger in trouble because I want to come back!"
5339972,32108977,2015-05-14,27891267,Rhona,"Fun place, thoughtful finishes with everything you might need and central location.  Very comfy beds w/double layers of blackout shades/curtains.  Hosts were great with communication, wit and patience.  I plan to stay here again."
5339972,32460106,2015-05-18,27952247,Ronald,"We might never have a better Airbnb experience. 

Roger was a fantastic host throughout the booking process and our stay, definitely going the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed. 

The house, located in a fantastic location for the best restaurants and attractions, is immaculate and full of fun activities.  The various pieces of marvelous chic and retro decorations are accompanied with modern technology throughout... the photos don't do the house justice!!  And the hosts have ensured that the house is very well stocked with kitchen and dining utensils and items, barware, cooking supplies and bathroom supplies, etc.

The hot tub is the highlight of many things in the awesome backgarden... very peaceful with so many activities.

We have already recommended The Tune Inn to friends, and we definitely plan on staying at The Tune Inn again when we visit Austin again in the future.

Roger - thank you so much again."
5339972,32964843,2015-05-24,19874813,Marc,"Wow, just totally WOW!  Tune Inn is a perfect location: quiet and secluded, but convenient to Downtown, Congress Street and the bats, Barton Springs, etc.  The house itself is a beautiful and well-designed renovation of a cottage in a very nice neighborhood.  The back yard is nothing short of spectacular - a totally professional landscaping job that provides a serene yet usable outdoor space.  The level of thoughtfulness that the owners have put into the experience of staying here extends to providing an extension cord so you can charge you phone or laptop while lying in bed, without stretching for an outlet.  We were very, very happy with our stay."
5339972,33518306,2015-05-29,31896803,Ditte,"The Tune Inn is amazing!! We loved every minute that we spent in this house. The details are awesome and it is just a great house with all the necessary amenities. If you have forgot something back home, the Tune Inn will most likely have it in the closet in the hallway. The location is perfect with food trucks a couple of blocks away and very close to downtown. We walked to downtown and it was not very long. 
Before we arrived, Roger emailed us with information and it was very easy to check-in. He also has a guide to the house and the area, which was so helpful. We loved it! Thank you so much for having us. If we ever come back to Austin, we will definitely be staying there again!"
5339972,33662335,2015-05-31,6512744,Andrei,"We came to Austin for a old friends weekend reunion and I have to say the experience at the Tune Inn could not have been any better! 
Not only was it incredibly clean and stylish, the host also definitely has a feel for taking care of details. At no time I had the feeling I was not in a Hotel (in a good way of how clean and well served the place was) Towels, Closet space, Dishes, Entertainment, TV, very maintained back yard with a at all time working Hot tub...
The neighborhood was great as well, nice and quiet but very close to hip restaurants and bars.
I definitely recommend this stay to anybody that wants to spend quality time in Austin!!!
 
"
5339972,34125676,2015-06-05,30155291,Cassandra,"Tune Inn is the ultimate place to stay in the Austin area!  Besides being a totally cool and fun place, it's immaculately clean and well appointed. I just spent 5 nights there and we all wished we could stay longer.  The hot tub is divine and the pictures do not do the back yard justice.  It's so peaceful out there. And as tranquil the outside is, the inside is totally funky and fun. The place is full of surprises; check them out. Now, besides the physicality of Tune Inn, the location is perfect!  Set in a quiet part of town, it's still close to very happening areas.  Great restaurants, great music, great hiking. Something for everyone. Roger and Lorraine are wonderful hosts.  They have taken great care to make sure their guests are comfortable and their attention to detail has truly paid off. Thank you Roger and Lorraine.  We hope to get back to Tune Inn and meet you face to face. "
5339972,34281603,2015-06-07,6154445,Carolyn,"Roger and his wife have thought of everything! I have never stayed in a rental with more thoughtful amenities! Each of us 5 women cherish our Dolly Parton-wig photos. Who knew? The beds were luxurious, the back yard a true retreat, and the location is super quiet in  spite of being just blocks from all the SoCo happenings. Highly recommended!"
5339972,35657191,2015-06-21,25409206,Matthew,Absolutely awesome house in a great neighborhood.  Roger went to great lengths to make sure we had everything we needed and that our stay was as comfortable as possible.  I'd absolutely stay here again and will recommend the house to friends visiting the area.
5339972,36062316,2015-06-24,36085011,David,"The house was awesome!  We had so much fun in the beautiful back yard with the hot tub, playing ping pong, darts and corn hole!  The inside had everything we needed, was so clean and fun!  Themed rooms, guitar, karaoke, records, CDs and it was homey!  Beds were so comfy!  Area was great, loved the South Austin vibe, great restaurants.  Highly recommend!  Hosts were so helpful and great communication!"
5339972,36406436,2015-06-28,3023008,Alan,"This is probably the most professionally run Air BnB I've ever had the pleasure of visiting.  Roger does an amazing job of having everything in place for a perfect visit, AND he goes above and beyond to make sure your visit is not only comfortable, but also FUN.  Whether you're playing ping pong in the backyard or singing a little breakfast karaoke, if you're staying at the Tune Inn, you're going to have a good time.  Great location, great house, great host, can't recommend highly enough."
5339972,36678108,2015-06-30,369063,Jennifer,"Roger is an AMAZING host!  The house is exactly as described and better!  We recently took a business trip to Austin and could not believe how organized, clean and FUN the Tune Inn Austin house was.  Definetly would stay here again!  Thank you!!!!"
5339972,37146651,2015-07-05,3884082,Kylie,"Roger is an incredible host and his home is the PERFECT place to stay in Austin. I can't recommend it enough! A group of 6 of us stayed for July 4 weekend and it was such a wonderful experience. Roger gave us an in-person tour of the house, provided us with a super thorough guidebook of both the home and things to do in the neighborhood to ensure we'd have an amazing stay. He was so communicative and helpful throughout both check-in and our stay. As for the house, it's in the perfect neighborhood - great bars, restaurants and food trucks nearby. It's also super close to Zilker Park and the springs. And the house is so great that we rarely wanted to leave. We played ping pong and jumbo checkers in the backyard, enjoyed the hot tub, sang karaoke in the living room. Roger has thought through every detail to make this a great place to stay. If you're looking for a fun weekend in Austin, this is your spot!"
5339972,37996119,2015-07-12,35002189,Susan,"Lorraine and Roger are wonderful!  They are excellent communicators and so helpful in every step.  The house looks just like the pictures and is so fun to actually get to live in for your stay! The location was ideal!  Not knowing Austin at all, we felt so lucky to have been in this location! Ran daily around the lake, down the street from food trucks, Barton Springs, Congress Bridge...close to all things fun! IDEAL!! We looked forward to returning to the house every day so we could sing, play and sink in the hot tub! The house was very clean and well taken care of in every way.  We enjoyed it with our 4 children and I would love to return with friends! "
5339972,38415049,2015-07-15,14988638,Kathleen,"All I can say is ""Wow!!""  What an absolutely beautiful space to be in.  So many fun amenities!  The record player was great and music selection was fun to get into.  Musical instruments and karaoke machine and ping pong table and jacuzzi .... our trip was interrupted by a family emergency so we didn't get to stay as long as we would have liked but we will definitely be making more trips to Austin now that we have found this wonderful retreat. So clean and comfortable and peaceful with helpful hosts.  And very reasonably priced considering all the cool atmosphere and activities they have provided.  It's very close and convenient to shops and restaurants and walking trails too.  Thank you Roger and Lorraine...you outdid yourselves!"
5339972,38820367,2015-07-19,22283833,Kim,Roger leaves written instructions to answer all questions.  The house has so many added touches I was constantly discovering something new to amuse or entertain.  Lovely house and property....perfect getaway but so close to the city too!  My friends and I couldn't ask for more!
5339972,39171364,2015-07-21,1803669,Brock,"Where do you start?  The insanely awesome backyard complete with the perfect combination of fun but competitive ""games"" that would fit the tastes of anyone.  Corn hole, darts, fooseball, ping pong,  and even giant Connect 4.   All under a wonderful tree that turns 99 degrees into a fairly shaded treat (especially in the evenings).

Or how about the awesome indoor living space complete with old-school record player and an awesome karaoke machine (get more country songs Roger! ;))  But seriously, like 3,000 plus songs, truly no complaints here.  Perfectly comfortable beds, the most detailed instructions for everything you could think of, extras galore (q-tips to coffee to toothbrushes), and a charm that would make the weekend magical for any family or couples vacation.

Roger communicated great and made sure everything was perfect for our stay.  With no guests coming on the day of our departure, he even let us stay an extra couple of hours!

Location was perfect.  Within walking distance to SoCo and a 5-10 minute drive to virtually everywhere.  Yep, perfect.

In summary, we didn't want to leave.  We looked up how much it would cost to buy the place and quickly realized we'll just have to stick to coming on vacation! ;)  Too bad those have to end.  Because we would stay in the Tune Inn every day of the week and twice on Sundays!"
5339972,39905503,2015-07-27,25459887,Kathryn,"We had a great time in Austin and it was made so much better staying at Tune Inn. Great location first of all, we walked to Zilker Park, Peter Pan crazy golf and to the local Alamo Drafthouse. The house itself is stunning and has everything you could possibly need. Thanks for having us!"
5339972,40356739,2015-07-30,36836303,Amy,We had an incredible time at Tune Inn!  Thank you for having everything we needed. What a great place to stay with a family!
5339972,40800192,2015-08-02,701892,Ian,This house is awesome and Roger is an absolute pro. Everything is perfectly setup for you to have an amazing stay in Austin. The music themed rooms and the amenities are great... we had to pull ourselves away from some epic games of cornhole in the backyard to make sure we actually got to see Austin! Stop thinking about it and book your trip now... this is a killer house in an equally killer city.
5339972,41759871,2015-08-09,34846453,Nikki,"Fantastic hosts, with as fantastic house in a really fantastic location. The guys at Tune Inn really had thought of everything to ensure our stay was as stress free as possible.
We really loved our stay and really enjoyed the hot tub and table tennis. The quiet, but central location was perfect.
Thank you and we would love too stay again."

We really enjoyed all of its many fun features as well as its plentiful conveniences and luxuries. It's in a great location that made for a great introduction to Austin. Roger was a fantastic host too! He was very helpful and everything was seamless. I will definitely recommend Tune Inn to friends and hope to be back soon myself!

5339972,47158694,2015-09-16,6142764,Andrew And Maureen,"This is probably the best airbnb experience we have ever had. The house was immaculate with everything a family could need. Lots of games, backyard fun, and convenience. We can't wait to stay there again. "
5339972,47462135,2015-09-19,13388264,Chris,"I am a frequent traveler and have stayed in dozens of Airbnb offerings.  Roger's Tune Inn is very authentic, well-stocked, convenient, interesting and fun.  The pictures do not do it justice.  The location is incredibly convenient to all Austin has to offer.  The little touches and finishes are too exhaustive to explain -- plenty of games in the back yard, Nest thermostat, Keurig coffee (and tea to my Kiwi business partners eternal delight).  Well done Roger!"
5339972,48048321,2015-09-22,6581010,Nicholas,"I was blown away by every music themed room, the responsiveness of Roger, and even his binder of things to do while in town. A++++ rating! "
5339972,48506800,2015-09-27,922142,Carrie,"This was the best AirBnB experience we've had. The Tune Inn was the highlight of our wonderful weekend in Austin. Roger made our family feel incredible welcome, and the house is stocked with everything guests could want. We cooked a few great meals, enjoyed the many amenities, and loved being walking distance from shopping & the park. Thanks for a great weekend!"
5339972,49584580,2015-10-05,30052003,Alesha,"A group of us splurged and stayed at Tune Inn during ACL, and we were extremely pleased with the house.  It is fun (note the pillows in the Dolly Parton room), well-appointed with coffee, extra supplies and a great selection of games, and in a prime location within walking distance of Zilker Park.  That alone would have made for a good experience, but what took it over the top was Roger's gracious hosting.  He was very communicative before our stay, and met us at the house for a tour.  The house is already set up in a user-friendly manner, but Roger was also on-hand to make sure that we had everything we needed and there were no issues.  He even offered to go to the box office and pick up a wrist band for us prior to our arrival!  

All in all it was a great stay; I'd recommend this house and these hosts to anyone looking for a worry-free vacation in Austin.
"
5339972,50268181,2015-10-11,24979250,Ian,"Roger and Lorraine were fantastic hosts. Roger contacted me just before our flight, met us on arrival at the house and gave us a very detailed tour and description of how to get to places, etc. He left us alone but was always a text away from any questions. The house was beautiful, tastefully quirky in décor, very well equipped, spacious and well looked-after.
The location is also great - short walk from South Congress, longer walk or short taxi hop to downtown or Zilker park. I'd recommend it and will definitely make this my first choice in future years."
5339972,51266997,2015-10-19,802508,Dianne,"Six family members stayed at Tune Inn during a family wedding weekend. This was the perfect spot to hang out between activities. The backyard is an oasis, and the house itself easily accommodated all of us for meals, getting ready for events and entertaining the family with all of the musical items. The location is stellar, 15 walk to downtown, 10 minute walk to restaurants, bars and cafes in other directions. Roger is an amazing host: responsive in pre-trip communications, available while we were in the house, gave lots of good info about the area, and he keeps a super well-stocked house. "
5339972,52479071,2015-10-30,10716170,Kevin,"They were fantastic, as was the house. It was super comfortably, very charmingly decorated, lots of space and fun things to do, and a great atmosphere to relax. The location is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend it!"
5339972,52872561,2015-11-02,45759393,Matt,"House was completely as advertised and more! We had a great stay. Would book again for the next time we need to come to Austin for a few days. 

Roger was more than accommodating, and was responsive to all questions up until the stay. Additionally he helped us navigate into Austin from Houston despite flooding.

The neighborhood is classic Austin, and within walking distance of lots of interesting stuff. The house is pretty much brand new inside, the beds and mattresses were still springy and everything seemed very clean. There is lots to do inside the house if you have any downtime. "
820139,3783400,2013-03-14,2984869,Megan,"Nancy was a pure delight!  Not only did she go incredibly above and beyond, she was wonderful and interesting to chat with - we very much enjoyed our time with her!  The house is charming, clean and well-kept and with very close proximity to great restaurants and public transportation.  We stayed for SXSW and had zero issue getting to and from the festivities downtown.  Nancy was an amazing host, very sweet and always happy to help with anything that came up,  For a lovely place and warm hospitality during your stay in Austin, I HIGHLY recommend staying with Nancy.   "
820139,3840060,2013-03-19,4630024,Jimmy,"Nancy  is a most gracious hostess. She made sure all my requests were attended to and went above and beyond the call of duty. I was in town for the music segment of SXSW and it was fantastic!
 Even though i arrived early the room was clean and ready for me to occupy, the  snacks were a very thoughtful addition. I would highly recommend Nancys cozy home. The room with attached private bath is clean and the bed was very comfortable. I walked to town most days 20-25 min walk or there is a bus stop close by. There are quite a few great restaurants within walking distance. All in all a great experience and she will make you feel like your home.  Enjoy !

Jimmy"
820139,8824586,2013-11-19,3947293,Sarah,"Being hosted by Nancy was more like staying with family or friends. Even before my arrival, Nancy made sure I was looked after, providing clear directions and checking on my preferred flavor of tea! 

This friendly and warm level of hosting continued throughout my stay at her house. Nothing was too much trouble for Nancy and I felt that I was being looked after throughout my five days with her.

As a base to explore Austin from, Nancy's is in a great location. The house is located near the I-35 and means it's easy to whizz around town. There is plenty of street parking and some handy local places to eat, including the Austin staple of excellent tacos. 
The guest room also has its own en suite bathroom and is big enough to ensure you can have all the privacy you need too.

It was a wonderful pleasure to meet and spend time with Nancy. I'd recommend staying with her - just not when I want to return of course!

"
820139,10361415,2014-02-16,10435171,Dalin,Nancy is very very nice and we had so much fun together! My stay was 5 weeks. It's very long but I simply enjoyed every single day. I really like the room (clean and pretty) and the location (very convenient). Thank you Nancy!
820139,10791298,2014-03-07,10022977,Jeremy,The reservation was canceled 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
820139,10917684,2014-03-13,10022852,Alissa,"I stayed with Nancy for a week during SXSW. Nancy is a lovely host who went out of her way to ensure I had a comfortable stay. Nancy was very friendly and welcoming and was more than happy to chat. 

The house is an older style and Nancy has some really beautiful furniture and decor. I found the space to be homely and relaxed and I was encouraged to use all the common spaces. The resident cat was also good company. 

Nancy went above and beyond to make me feel at home- including providing breakfast - bagels and a variety of spreads, tea and coffee. 

The location is fairly central and serviced by the local bus which is only $1 to ride. I would note however in my personal experience that it can be somewhat difficult to return late at night after sxsw events as cabs are not easily accessed during the festival. On average my cab fare from downtown to the house was around $16. 

The room itself is very large and included an ensuite. Nancy also provided a number of bathroom conveniences such as soap, shampoo etc which was extremely thoughtful. Additionally Nancy provided an array of snacks in the room including dried fruit and chocolate. This was a real treat and much appreciated!

I would highly recommend staying with Nancy- she will look after you! "
820139,11701387,2014-04-12,5670741,Geneva & Nick,"Wow, we could not have a better stay! Nancy's house is charming and beautiful and the neighborhood she's in in just lovely. Nancy herself is an incredibly gracious and helpful host, and full of information about good places to go in Austin, and effective strategies for beating or circumventing the traffic (very important in Austin, let me tell you!). The neighborhood is close to all kinds of interesting stuff, (UT for example, to which one could easily walk) but it's so beautiful, full of oak trees and lovely front lawns, that you could just spend all your time walking around the block. The room was clean, bright, and cheerful, the bed was very comfortable with nice sheets, and the bathroom was stocked with toothpaste, soap, and anything else you might have forgotten to pack. We come to Austin fairly often, and Nancy's house will definitely be our first choice for a place to stay!"
820139,14618983,2014-06-23,12707475,Jacob,"I stayed here for 4 weeks. The room was great and having an ensuite bathroom is a big plus. The neighborhood is very nice: it feels small and tucked away, yet it's so close to so many things. Nancy was a wonderful host and made me feel at home. She had all kinds of snacks and also toiletries available upon my arrival and set me up with breakfast. She was very hospitable and it was nice talking with her when I was around."
820139,15508526,2014-07-10,1149249,Jenn,"Staying with Nancy was a perfect Airbnb experience. She was gracious, warm, attentive, and welcoming - she even drove me to and from the airport! Her cat Stewie is adorable and so was her home and the rest of the neighborhood. The room is just like the photos, nicely private and quiet. My pals in Austin were very jealous of my proximity to El Chilito, which became my daily breakfast taco spot. All of the downtown go-to spots were just a sunny walk or bike ride away. This was an A+++ listing."
820139,22134374,2014-10-31,16685970,Predrag,"Staying with Nancy was just like staying with one of my family members. I really felt like her house was my home away from home. Her place is about 15 minute walk away from the UT campus, but it is also only a few steps away from the bus station (bus 20). The room was spacious and light. The bathroom was at all times supplied with everything  I needed. And both room and bathroom were cleaned once every two weeks.
Nancy is a very kind person and I enjoyed getting to know her. After my first week living in her house, I was already thinking of her as my friend rather than a landlord. 
All in all, if you are visiting Austin, staying at her place should be your first choice."
820139,22543637,2014-11-09,22738690,Victoria,"Nancy was such a sweet woman to have her home open to us. The house was cute and warm, just like a typical 1940's style bungalow in Austin, TX. My husband and I loved staying there. She was so kind to offer us breakfast items, which we did enjoy cooking in her sweet kitchen. We were welcomed to warm arms, like coming to an old friend's home. We would definitely recommend anyone going to Austin, to stay with her. If we head back to Austin, in the future, we will be sure to stay with her again!"
820139,22959156,2014-11-18,7575313,Candy,"My stay at Nancy's home was delightful; the room was exactly as pictured, the bed very comfortable, and from the moment I walked through the front door, I felt very welcome.  Her location was perfect for me as I was just five minutes from my business appointments.  If I'm ever back in Austin, this will be the place I'll look forward to stay in once again.

"
820139,24582620,2014-12-31,20691496,Juliane,"I enjoyed every single minute of my stay with Nancy! Nancy was very caring to make my stay as comfortable as possible. She picked me up, provided me with my preferred breakfast, got me ""German"" bread, helped me planning my trip through texas and so much more!
The room and the bathroom are just lovely and very neat. The neighborhood is very nice and offers a lot of good restaurants and it is very close to UT. 
I wished I could have stayed longer! Thank you, Nancy, for a really enjoyable time!

"
820139,25952083,2015-01-31,21439804,Lia,"Nancy foi uma anfitriã muito atenciosa, nos recebeu com todo carinho. No dia 1° de janeiro estávamos com ela e ela nos preparou um almoço delicioso para termos um ano auspicioso (black eyed peas). Sempre que precisamos de alguma coisa, Nancy era muito solicita. "
820139,28117339,2015-03-18,4809750,Tia,"Nancy is a fantastic host. She does everything she can to make your stay as comfortable and personal as possible, matched to your specific circumstances. The bed and en-suite bathroom are super comfy and full of anything you might need for a convenient stay. She also has great food recommendations, all her suggestions were delicious. I stayed with her for SXSW interactive which worked really well to break up the corporate overwhelmsion of the downtown area. But even if you are just exploring Austin or there to work or study- If you want a friendly, welcoming base from which to explore Austin, with excellent food on your doorstep-  stay with Nancy!"
820139,28320148,2015-03-22,14902519,Isabel,"Our stay with Nancy was completely lovely.  Her neighborhood is the perfect place to stay to get a feel of Austin any time of year, but was an especially ideal location during SXSW.  It's close enough to all of the SX activities to make coming and going quite simple but is far enough from downtown to be a quiet getaway.  Nancy was a gracious and generous host before we even arrived.  She went out of her way to accommodate our personal travel needs and made us feel completely warm and welcome.  Her home is beautiful with small details that show Nancy's eclectic taste and interest.  The bedroom with attached bathroom and roomy closet were perfect for us and everything we needed for our stay.  Nancy also provided local treats for us and everything one might need as far as toiletries.  The room was super cozy, familiar, and comfortable for resting and recuperating.   The Cherrywood neighborhood is beautiful and super convenient to everything, including an easy 2 mile walk on a beautiful day to downtown.  You can walk the flower and treelined neighborhood and be at one of the best coffee spots in town in about 5 minutes.  There are tons of food spaces and neighborhood gems only blocks from Nancy's house and even more within an 8 minute drive in any direction.  Although we often had places to be first thing, Nancy boiled eggs for us in the mornings and had yogurt, tea, honey, and fruit.  Also it was a bonus to come home late nights after a long day of SXSW festivities and be greeted by Nancy's super sweet cat s house is in the beautiful Cherrywood neighborhood.  I recommend researching Cherrywood if you are trying to find more information regarding the area. )"
820139,29615687,2015-04-10,18476583,Caroline,"We have stayed with Nancy for almost 2 months now. She is a friendly, helpful person, is easy to get in touch with and replies to any queries quickly and clearly. She was very accommodating in both our arrival time and our departure time. The location of her house is excellent! It is a lively neighborhood with lots of coffee shops, grocery shops, etc... It is quite convenient for me, because it is located in a walking distance to UT. The bedroom is very comfortable and we slept well. I can honestly recommend Nancy as your Airbnb host in Austin! Thanks Nancy!"
820139,29845837,2015-04-13,6180353,Naya,"My boyfriend, our little son and I had a wonderful stay at Nancys house i Austin :) The place was clean, cosy and we felt home right away. Nancy was very friendly and gave us tips on what to do in the area and what to see in the city. She is easy to communicate with and helpful when we were planning our visit. I can highly recommend the place and the very kind and helpful host :)"
820139,32067220,2015-05-13,23703006,Nicholas,Nancy is a very good host and will go out of her way to make sure you are set and feel at home. We enjoyed cooking meals in the kitchen. The room and bathroom are very nice and have apparently undergone some recent renovation or remodeling. Also the neighborhood is nice.  Thanks Nancy!
820139,32682889,2015-05-20,29157180,Judith,"Staying with Nancy in her warm and charming home made this trip so much better than the business trip I was expecting to have. Nancy was kind enough to pick me up at the airport which was especially welcome after missing a flight and arriving exhausted 7 hours later than expected. She continued to be very helpful, suggesting things I might like to do, good restaurants, transportation and other ideas that helped me to make the most of my short stay. Several times she rescued me with a ride when I was pressed to get somewhere and either didn't have time or wasn't sure how to go. She was a warm, funny and intelligent person that I truly enjoyed getting to know. 

The location was excellent, minutes to downtown, but suburb like with lawns, trees, birds and quiet. The guest bedroom was very pretty, and the brand new bathroom was spacious and very nicely done. There was a nice sense of privacy to the suite while it was handy to he kitchen and other areas. Nancy puts out a generous basket of assorted travel essentials that the guest might have forgotten and a second basket of snacks. She also asks what you want for breakfast and provides it very nicely.

This was my first Airbnb experience and I am now a total convert to this service thanks to Nancy and her most pleasant home."
820139,33090338,2015-05-25,384163,Gerald,"Everything was fine, Nancy made us feel welcome."
820139,35995804,2015-06-24,7145577,Hannah,"I can't imagine that there's a single better AirBnB listing for the entire city of Austin, and quite frankly, I never hope to find out. Nancy is the only person I will want to stay with whenever I back to visit, and I know that there will be many repeat trips! It wouldn't have been half as fun without her guidance and insider's knowledge of local sites, eateries, and events. Over the course of a month, we spent many evenings chatting together, cooking together, and before long, I felt as though we were a genuine family. The space itself is fantastic, exactly as described and photographed, but it's Nancy's unequivocal hospitality that makes it so special. If you have the opportunity to stay here, even for a short time, don't even think about booking anything else!"
820139,39268340,2015-07-22,22501278,Tom,"Nancy is a wonderful host! Very kind and easygoing, and she knows Austin well. Her house is located within easy walking distance of UT, as well as some excellent restaurants and cute coffeeshops. "
820139,41356922,2015-08-07,34404467,Jamie,"Very welcoming house and host.  Stewie the cat is a sweetie :-)  Nancy is quick to provide recommendations for places to eat, hike, hang out, etc.  The house is located close enough to downtown for a short Uber or bus ride, but also close to parks and open spaces.  It's in a nice suburban neighborhood just north of Maynor Ave."
820139,42167931,2015-08-11,37856176,Paul,"Nancy was really friendly and helped us settle in straight away. She gave us a tour of the local area which was a really nice and helpful. 

Nancy's house is in a great location, short walk to the bus route into town and really close to some cool local bars and food outlets.

 "
820139,43946362,2015-08-23,23394036,Sarah,"Staying at Nancy's was an absolute delight. Besides being in a lovely neighborhood with a variety of close, unique establishments, I felt like I had someone I could sit and gab with while exploring a new city. The room had everything I needed and more, and I would absolutely come back and stay here again! Bonus: the cat is fantastically friendly and entertaining. "
820139,45169505,2015-08-31,41631840,Tal,"Nancy, where do we begin?
This host is THE BEST in Austin, and we mean it!
Coming all the way from Israel, Nancy made us feel very welcome. She was helping us with every single thing we needed, took us for a ride to know the neighborhood and around, and was doing everything to make us feel warm and pleasant.
Nancy, we don't even know how to start thanking you for everything.
Other then that, the room was excellent, with a private bath. The location was close to the university,and had some nice restaurants and coffee places around.
Bottom line, best host ever, great room, excellent location- don't think twice!"
820139,45975703,2015-09-07,39916548,Katie,"We had the most pleasant experience with Nancy! She was very sweet and helpful when we asked for ideas for what to do in the city. The house was a great location and very nice. She was quick to make us coffee and give us anything we needed to feel at home. We had a lot of great conversations with both Nancy and her adorable cat, Stewy. I highly recommend staying here if you're ever in the area!"
820139,48983680,2015-09-30,2119329,Kathleen,"Nancy was charming, helpful, and enthusiastic about my experiences in Austin. She even jumped to my rescue when It seemed I would be late to a concert by driving me there. 
The room was cosy and just like the picture. The neighborhood was pleasently funky. 
It was a great travel experience."
820139,49587544,2015-10-05,14139859,Jessica,"I am so happy we chose to stay with Nancy & Stewy (the cat/dog) during ACL weekend one. Nancy  was very helpful on where to dine and how to get where. The room is extremely comfortable with your own private bathroom and closet. The bed is amazing - I haven't slept that good in a long time. Overall, highly recommended. "
6402505,32439874,2015-05-17,25774313,Fabian,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Julia's place. From the get go, she was very friendly and super responsive via email and texts. She made us feel really welcomed, and the place was clean and bedroom was super comfy (just like the ad says). The neighborhood is nice and quite, and central to everything. I would definitely stay at this place again, and I highly recommend it to anyone else!"
6402505,34840743,2015-06-12,21941723,Victor,"NEVER saw the host. In fact, no one truly lived there. It seems like someone is just renting out an empty house to strangers. When I called to receive the door code (the one given in the instructions was wrong) some guy answered (he wasn't sure which room I was in) and said that he ""was in charge of facilitating"". Looks someone just hired some college kid to take care of the details. There is no such thing as 'Julia'. The room was also overbooked and there was an extra guy staying in the living room, able to hear everything me and m gf were saying in our room. Decent area. Do not recommend. "
6402505,35049804,2015-06-14,21394740,Claudia,"Loved the place.
Quiet cute little home
Everything is up to date, no complains at all.
Only spoke to the host once when I talked to her about the reservation after that heard nothing at all"
6402505,37351951,2015-07-06,6893345,Christine,The host canceled this reservation 245 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6402505,39460925,2015-07-23,17267905,Chris,This place was perfect. Usually when I do airbnb the owner usually lives there so I feel like I'm tip-toeing around to make sure I don't disturb their space. I never met the owner- this is a house set up for airbnbers. So I made some great connections with the other travelers. The house was always cool- SO grateful in this heat. And the owner put together a fantastic binder of local restaurants (with addresses!) and ways to get around for first time visitors. The shower is amazing.
6402505,40068807,2015-07-27,28094693,Chase,"Great place. Nobody else was there during our stay. The shower is amazinggggg. Very effortless experience and the whole place was SPOTLESS! Also, great price for what we got. Would stay again"
6402505,42224040,2015-08-11,36087748,Bart,The place was clean and comfortable and getting in and out was easy. 
6402505,42644272,2015-08-14,22685200,Raymond,"Excellent place to stay. The entire house was modern, clean, fairly well stocked. Room was nice and made, provided a nice bed, some towels, and a desk. I did not have to interact with Julie (or anyone) face to face. The house is accessed with access codes that are send via automated email, so checking in was seamless and anonymous. The neighborhood had easy enough access to the bus, and a $5 uber ride back from downtown. "
6402505,43201216,2015-08-17,19065813,Aaron,Nice simple room in a good location. Walking distance to downtown and other great cafes/eateries in East Austin. Handy pin code entry to house and room so you don't have to worry about keys. Streamlined booking and check-in process makes it a great last minute place to stay.
6402505,43455667,2015-08-19,28159101,Sandro Gianni,"I was disappointed, because I never meet the host. And I think nobody meet the host. It's like a hotel. It's not the airbnb way. I was there to meet new people."
6402505,44394924,2015-08-25,18822803,Vaibhav,"It was perfect... everything was exactly  as described. The place is nice and comfortable and value for money!

Definitely would recommend it."
6402505,44510027,2015-08-26,38302536,Derrick,Very comfortable and welcoming!!!
6402505,44738024,2015-08-28,42484526,Ritwika,"The listing was a great find! would definitely want to stay there if I ever visited Austin again. By far, the best airbnb find for me!"
6402505,45325750,2015-09-01,42095263,Walter,"Simple, affordable, convenient and straight forward location to stay at.  Was lacking a few a amenities--listing mentioned things like having shampoo, there wasn't any and the WiFi was a little spotty at times (although it worked a lot better after I unplugged/replugged it in).  Also wished there were a few more decorations on the wall to make the place feel more homey.  But overall, it's still a great value.

Also the location is great: there are a lot of great restaurants and venues just to the north and Rainey St is about a 15-20minute walk away which isn't too bad.  Even when I needed to use Lyft, it never was really that expensive to get to where I needed to go."
6402505,45455831,2015-09-02,43115880,Robin,The accommodations were perfect for a very last minute trip to Austin. The house is well kept and straightforward- electric locks on each room and the front door- so it's very automated. The bed was comfortable and everything was in great shape. I appreciate the quick turn around on the hosts for the booking.
6402505,46451011,2015-09-10,39246760,Glenton,"I had a very comfortable stay at Julia's. I arrived a bit early but after contacting Julia she allowed me to leave my bags there while I went about my day even though they weren't able to clean the room yet. By the time I had returned that evening, the room had been cleaned. The house is very easy for guests to get into - the front door and each room has an access code so that you don't need to carry around a key. My only complaint is that the internet was rather slow at times - but other than that my stay was very pleasant!"
6402505,46568390,2015-09-11,2839824,Tancredi And Aude,"Nous n'avons pas rencontré Julia.
La maison vient d'être refaite et, à part un gros cafard rouge dans la salle de bains, est très propre. Le wifi est très lent.
La situation est bonne et un classeur dans le salon offre une longue liste de restaurants.
Il semblerait que toutes les chambres soient sur ABnB ce qui donne plutôt une impression d'auberge de jeunesse.
"
6402505,46685459,2015-09-12,43881481,Bo,"The room was exactly as described. I didn't encounter the host at all due to coming in late and leaving early the morning after. (I was only staying a single night) The house was quite clean and comfortable, I'd highly recommend this room for the price and convenience!"
6402505,47327870,2015-09-17,164654,Kath,"Fantastic stay.  Great location, very clean, v nice and respectful roomies.  Bring DVDs."
6402505,47427341,2015-09-18,19414766,Benjamin,"The stay was exactly as expected. Nothing fancy, but a clean, comfortable place to sleep. Key-less entry to the house and bedroom was very convenient. The house is in a good East Austin location, easily accessible to UT and downtown. "
6402505,48216706,2015-09-24,268730,Nerissa,"This was a great place to stay. I liked how easy it was to access both the house and the room without any key exchange. The room was cozy and clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The rest of the house was clean. There were two other people staying there while I was there (I think) but I never saw any of them. Finding parking on the street was pretty easy. My only recommendation would be for a water filter for the tap water be provided. "
6402505,49290117,2015-10-02,34219923,Vincent,Seamless check in/check out process. House is designed specifically for Air BnB
6402505,50100651,2015-10-09,15901454,Daniel,Great space! Very clean and close to downtown. The door code system makes getting in and out super convenient. This would be my first choice when returning to Austin.
6402505,50861004,2015-10-15,8772997,Garmon,"Really good place! Instructions on how to use the place was simple and straightforward. The room was clean and tidy with use of kitchen, washing machine and bathroom all very convenient. Good place to stay in east austin!"
6402505,50999384,2015-10-16,46472932,Dan,"This was a very nice, clean room in a nice clean little house.  Everything was smooth, communication was extremely fast, no complaints at all.  It was exactly what I was hoping for."
6402505,51406658,2015-10-19,45731290,Stacy,"This was my second stay at Julia's spot. It's a great place that's close to many great spots in East Austin. Don't forget your bike- the bike trails along the river are easy to get to from here, which makes most of the downtown area easily accessible, too. I recommend it!"
6402505,52305516,2015-10-27,4933425,Taylor,Perfect place to lay my hat down for a few hours. Getting into your room is super easy and the place was spotless.
6402505,53175522,2015-11-06,27751378,Andrew,Everything was great! The accommodations were clean and pleasant. Would stay again.
3165478,21521230,2014-10-19,20863589,Melinda,"We had a wonderful time during our stay!  Our hosts were very accommodating to the late arrival time.  The accommodations are great- we had the room with the adjoining bathroom and door to the second story porch.  The neighborhood was interesting, safe, and close to public transportation and restaurants.  For people who like to walk there were many interesting things to see.  Our hosts were particularly helpful in providing suggestions of things to do to maximize our short stay in Austin.  We would definitely recommend their ace."
3165478,28312929,2015-03-22,27137907,Hendrik,Perfect place! Beautiful room with bathroom. Beautiful house. Beautiful hood! Slept as a king!
3165478,30415496,2015-04-21,30636635,George,"Richard is an interesting, friendly and  accomodating host.  The house is beautiful and the room very pleasant. The best porch ever, quiet neighborhood, no problems with parking on the street, convenient to UT: we'll stay again."
3165478,31258854,2015-05-03,22643735,Neal,"This place is amazing. If you always wanted to see the inside of one of those amazing Victorian homes that dot Austin, this is your chance. Our room was well appointed, clean and the private bathroom had all the toiletries we needed. Unfortunately, we didn't have a chance to talk to the host more than just pleasantries (our fault not his) he was very communicative, friendly and knowledgeable of the area. "
3165478,31708873,2015-05-09,29807571,Debi,"Spacious historic home in great neighborhood - convenient to public transportation, awesome bakery, grocery and restaurants. I felt very safe walking wherever I went. 

Richard was a very welcoming host and offered me a cold drink upon arrival. He knew I was planning some early morning runs and had printed out maps of routes for me of varying distances.

There are two super friendly dogs that you can interact with as much or as little as you want. Odin is especially eager to get in your lap and we enjoyed breakfast on the porch one morning.

Oh and the water pressure in the shower is incredible - like a spa...and instant hot water.....ahhhh."
3165478,40702417,2015-08-01,177441,Ash,"Richard was amazing, helping me out of a bad Airbnb situation and instantly responding to my request to book at his house, even though he was away traveling. Did everything he could to accommodate me, and the house is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing stay."
3165478,41265195,2015-08-05,35997040,Priscilla,"Nothing short of perfect!  I only wish I could have stayed longer.  I felt like I had quickly made new friends and was treated as such.  The house is tasteful, warm & welcoming.   The choice of music playing throughout the house was relaxing and pleasant as well.  Everything I could possibly need was provided.  Rich even remembered I had mentioned I would be traveling during my birthday & left a card with a bottle of Pellegrino & cookies in my room.  Their recommendations for a night out were very much appreciated as well.  The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood and is within easy walking distance to restaurants, bakery, bar, and grocery.  Also, the bus stop is one block from the house.  I hope to have an excuse to return very soon! "
3165478,44525446,2015-08-27,34073194,Shelley,"Richard is a very congenial and warm host.  I really enjoyed getting to know him and I loved his home.  He was helpful to me in getting to know the lay of the land and the available sights.  My bedroom/bathroom area was great, the stairs were a little difficult when the dogs were around but that was infrequent.    The bed/mattress and the shower water flow were awesome, the available toiletries were an added bonus.  I didn't really cook even though I had planned to and the kitchen was available to me at anytime.  I was very happy with the security system, not having to carry a key and only having to remember one code for everything including the WiFi was extremely thoughtful.  I felt comfortable coming and going when it suited me.  Because of the heat, I didn't use the veranda but really would've liked to!"
3165478,48805887,2015-09-28,39461603,Steven,"My stay with Richard and John, in their picturesque historic home, was fantastic to say the very least!  The location is ideal; located in a beautiful area of Austin with old growth trees yet it only took a few minutes to get to the downtown area.  There’s easy (free), street parking and quick access to all major freeways.  The bed is super comfortable and I found the bedroom and private bathroom very clean and large.  My only complaint about staying here was the fact I had to leave…need I say more!"
3165478,50946945,2015-10-16,21023221,Margo,"Really enjoyed my stay with Richard & John. They were gracious hosts and made me feel not only welcomed, but like I'd made a couple of new friends. The bed was comfy and the location was excellent. I would definitely stay here again."
558109,3769787,2013-03-12,106370,Krishna,"I had rented Kaleem's room for 3 days during SxSW 2013. It was kind of a last minute decision on my part so I was really lucky to have hit upon Kaleem's place on AirBNB . My stay was really comfortable and wonderful in all aspects. Kaleem went out of his way to make sure I could come in anytime, even staying up late to receive me the first day as SXSW events can go pretty late sometimes. Upon my request, he installed additional fixtures such as locks to my individual room as well. Most importantly, I found Kaleem to be a great guy to be around. I would recommend this room to my friends as well who are visiting Austin or to anyone looking for a comfortable, quiet and friendly place to stay in Austin."
558109,3786103,2013-03-14,4961834,Justin,"Kaleem is a very nice guy and works hard to make sure you will have a pleasant stay. His house is clean, comfortable, and in a safe area. When I was there he went as far as providing extra amenities like a iron, bottled water, and extra hangers even before I asked for them. This is a good room, in a good location, at a good price."
558109,3811797,2013-03-17,2638389,Guillermo,Kaleem is a very nice guy and the place was great for the price. Close to the airport and 10 minutes from downtown. I'd stay there again. 
558109,11075605,2014-03-19,10388831,Sulaf,"The time that I spent at kaleems house was very comfortable and relaxing. His house was very clean, gorgeous and in a very friendly neighbourhood. I would recommend this place. Kaleem himself is a very helpful and considerate host whose company I enjoyed along with his cute dog and cat. "
558109,12700179,2014-05-08,14234371,Callum,"Kaleem is a great host and all round good person. He was attentive, kind and great for some conversation at the end of the day but also respectful of privacy. 

The room itself is quiet and clean. I felt right at home there. The rest of the house is very spacious and has a lovely back garden which was nice to relax in - especially with the pets!

The location is really close to the airport and is a short bus rise to downtown. If you're going out in austin at night the return buses so stop at around 11pm, however I took a taxicab back for only $17

Would definitely stay again, thanks kaleem! "
7150364,38065290,2015-07-12,26589406,Lara,"The home was so warm and inviting! Very well decorated, had all the staple items you would need, and just felt like you were visiting a friend. Jared puts in a lot of effort to make his guests feel at home!"
7150364,52605575,2015-10-31,28132043,Peter,"Area was ok but very convenient location. Jared was responsive, flexible and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend him."
1347317,7015601,2013-09-03,5935327,Brian,"I had a group of 14 guys fly out for a college reunion at Terrance's place in Austin for Labor Day weekend.  Terrance answered my inquiry immediately and once I had booked, was very responsive to all my texts during my entire stay.  The house itself was beautiful, very clean and had all the amenities you needed to make your stay as comfortable and entertaining as possible and on top of that, the pricing was very affordable.  The house was a short ride from the airport and to 6th Street which is perfect if you just plan on using cab services during your visit.  It's also across the street from a store for all your food and beverage needs.  Overall, I had a wonderful time staying at Terrance's house and could not have ask for a better, more accommodating host.  I would not hesitate to book this place for any future visits to Austin."
1347317,7388474,2013-09-17,5071354,Alejandra,"Diseño moderno increíble , personas muy amables un lugar excepcional, comodo y a buen precio.

"
1347317,7551463,2013-09-24,7738874,Dave,"Really nice modern house.  The hot tub and sonos systems are a really nice touch.  We were here for a wedding and we fit about 8-10 guys per night.  Keep in mind if you don't want to bunk up people will have to sleep on air mattresses or the floor. (we left an extra one there, enjoy)  The neighborhood is kind of bleh, but easy to call a cab and a short trip to 6th street.  Please go to Franklin's while you are in Austin, Terrance had a cooler we used to tailgate the line.  Terrance communicated the entire time and was very pleasant.  Enjoy. "
1347317,7883426,2013-10-07,8690846,Shil,"A group of friends and I rented this house from Terrance during ACL weekend. The experience was great. Terrance has everything taken care of and we had no issues at all. The house was amazing and comfortably accommodated our group of 8. I was especially pleased with Terrance's prompt responses and the flexibility he had with our group. 

I highly recommend staying at this house and working with Terrance."
1347317,9040631,2013-12-02,10165239,Darla Jean,"Terrance was a great host - so easy to communicate with!  Responded to my texts immediately.  The place was very clean, affordable, and tempurpedic beds SUPER Comfy.  This is a beautiful modern home w/ lots of light, and an open floor plan well suited for people that appreciate those things.  The outdoor space and hot tub was an amazing end to the night.  I would definitely book here again our next trip to Austin.  Enjoy!"
1347317,9949095,2014-01-21,6538740,Laura,Terrance was very easy to work with and responsive. He made our experience very enjoyable. I would definitely rent from him again. The house was perfect for our girls (8 of us) weekend in Austin. Upon arrival the house was very clean and well stocked with all the necessary paper products/cooking utensils and kitchen items we needed. The location is great and a quick 5 minute cab ride to 6th street. You literally can see the grocery store from the front yard. The hot tub and awesome grill were great additions to our stay as well. We really enjoyed our stay and our experience with Terrance definitely made it easy and great. 
1347317,10530596,2014-02-24,10910300,Kayton,"Stayed at Terrance's place over the weekend for a bachelor party.  The place was great! Large enough to hold 14 guys, well stocked, clean, and in a great location.  Terrance was really responsive and helpful all weekend and everyone had a blast!"
1347317,10715786,2014-03-04,1676761,Elchi,"The house is great. A new build with all the amenities of home. Terrance answered all my questions and would definitely stay here again. Minutes from downtown and next to a supermarket for whatever you need. 

If i had one complaint it would have to be the blue-tooth keys. We were out of the house all day and if your phone dies, you have no way of getting back into the house. 

Besides the keys, Terrance's house was a great place to rest after a full day in the wonderful city of Austin. "
1347317,10997511,2014-03-17,8871118,Jennifer,"Terrance was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was extremely quick in responding and was always on top of everything ahead of time. With a party of 16 coming to SXSW you can only imagine how stressful that can be. Not only was Terrance extremely accommodating, he took a lot of the pressure off of booking the house and the stay. The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, close to downtown, and in a good location. Every day we walked to and from downtown and stopped along the way for a quick bite. There is a bus stop too right across the street that was easy to get to! Overall, my stay was fantastic we had just enough room for everyone and I would highly recommend staying here and/or working with Terrance. "
1347317,11184560,2014-03-24,6886660,Justin,"We had a group of 12 guys at this home, located just outside of the downtown core, for a bachelor party. The home and its amenities were excellent. We, however, found that getting cabs to pick us up from there to head downtown was difficult and we had to call early (think at least 30 minutes) to get a cab there. The open space in the home is great and conducive for hanging out. Sleeping space can be tight here with groups larger than 10 people, but they have a few air mattresses available that certainly help out. Other benefits to this home is it's very close to the local grocery and only 5 miles away from Bergstrom International Airport."
1347317,11342942,2014-03-31,10525009,Vinny,"Couldn't have had a better time in this place. Not only did the house work out great for me and 13 buddies on a bachelor party trip, but Terrance as a host made everything all the more easy for us. Quick to respond to any questions I might have had and extremely nice and relatable, Terrance is an excellent host and made my process of setting things up and executing my plan so so easy. The place was really awesome too, with a HUMONGOUS TV and a house integrated sound system, we were in a real great hangout atmosphere the whole time, and it's only a $10-$12 cab ride to any of the bar scenes, 5 minutes from the airport, and directly across the street from a grocery store to stock up on what you need for your stay. I'd recommend this place to any sized group if you wanna stay in a great place in Austin and have a great host like Terrance!"
1347317,11532863,2014-04-07,8649197,William,Awesome experience! I booked Terrance's place for a bachelor party weekend for a group of guys.  This place was great. The interior is really nice and the outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing in the hot tub or lounging on the couches.  Huge TV that we were able to watch the NCAA games on.  Located across the street from a supermarket so super convenient in you plan on cooking/grilling.  Terrance was extremely accommodating with special requests.  We could not locate an iron in the house and he was happy to go buy one and bring it to the house. He could not have been a better host.  I would def recommend this place for your visit to Austin! 
1347317,11747373,2014-04-14,7534980,Chris,"I hosted a group of thirteen for my buddy's bachelor party and the house couldn't have worked out better! We cooked half of the time we were there (great kitchen, grill, and plenty of pots, pans, and plates) and we were able to get downtown with no problem. If you're traveling with a larger group, I'd recommend calling a cab or two to the house and hailing the rest from seventh street up the road as it can be a challenge to get multiple cabs to drive to arrive together. Terrance was always quick to respond and left the house in great condition for us. The fire pit and jacuzzi were great additions as well! Look forward to staying here again."
1347317,12270607,2014-04-28,11663944,Danny,"Terrance could NOT have been a better host! Having never rented a house before, he kept my mind at ease and made everything so easy and hassle-free. I hosted a party of 8 for my brother's bachelor party and it could not have been more perfect. The place was in great condition and very clean. The ammenities were incredible and everything was so modernized, it is very evident he has put a lot of money into keeping his place up-to-date. The 70' TV, hot tub jacuzzi, and firepit with lounge are all nice additions. He responded immediately to any of my questions whether via text or e-mail. You literally can see a grocery store from the front yard as well as a very nice restaurant called Mettle. Also, definitely download the SONOS app, you can control all surround sound and audio through your phone throughout the entire house. I doubt you can find a better host than Terrance!"
1347317,12819767,2014-05-12,12801296,Nikhil,Terrance was a great host. He let us check in an hour before the stated check in time. He was available through texts or phone calls throughout the day and night we stayed. The only minor issue we had was that the photos had a sectional sofa in the living room however it was not there when we arrived. Terrance let us know that it recently had been damaged and he was going to get a new one within 2 weeks. He did come down on the price a bit to make up for this. Also the advertisement states that it sleeps 16 however it probably only sleeps 10 comfortably at most. Other than that the condo is very nice and clean. It is right across the street from HEB so it was very convenient.
1347317,15521444,2014-07-10,12135835,Aubrey,"Absolutely loved the place! Location is prime and the place itself was gorgeous. In general itself is enough to experience in Austin, plus Terrance was the perfect host. I would definitely recommend it."
1347317,16285215,2014-07-24,12135835,Aubrey,Once again love love love!
1347317,16927236,2014-08-04,18141900,George,"Terrance is a great host. He was accommodating and provided us with a wonderful experience. I will definitely be staying with him again!

He designed the house wonderfully (breaking Bad themed) and it was perfect for us to enjoy the weekend in Austin. 
"
1347317,18714539,2014-08-31,16428050,Andrew,Terrance was a great host - everything listed was accurate and he couldn't have made the whole process any easier for everyone.
1347317,18871723,2014-09-02,13746891,Eli,"This host was great.  We went down with 20 guys.  It was rowdy to say the least.  He was willing to accommodate us and was understanding that we were there to party for a bachelor party.  Also, his place is absolutely perfect for a bachelor party.  It is right down the street from downtown Austin.  "
1347317,20012362,2014-09-22,18805941,Carter,"Terrance is an awesome host with an amazing house!  Perfect location with very easy access from the airport and close to 6th St and Rainey St.  It is also next door to a grocery store so you can stock up on your supplies with ease.  The house can easily accommodate  for a couple looking for a weekend getaway to a group of 20.  Terrance made everything easy for us, from payment to exit & clean up.  His rules are extremely fair and he asks for almost nothing in return, other than respecting the integrity of the furniture and appliances in the house.  He treats his guests with the up-most respect throughout the entire process. Terrance provides the Sonos Sound System so you can plug in your music to play throughout the house, which I thought was pretty cool.  Terrance really does go above and beyond the details he provides in his listings.  He was very professional and accommodating from booking to the end of our weekend in Austin. I highly suggest anyone looking for a house in Austin to contact Terrance for this property and any other properties he manages!"
1347317,20288705,2014-09-27,2251390,Marie,"This house is perfect for events. I booked the lounge for a bachelorette party  with 10 guests, and it was amazing. It had everything we needed for eating / cooking / making margaritas. The hot tub is also quite nice to end the night. 

Location-wise, its a close drive to the bars. We didn't have any trouble getting around or finding the house.

Terrance, as a host, was great. He was very responsive to all of my AirBnB messages when I had questions about the location before-hand, as well as all of my texts while we were staying in the house. "
1347317,20441717,2014-09-29,3737280,Omar,Terrance was a great host!  Check-in was easy and Check-out was simple.  His house is great with a wonderful indoor space and nice outdoor seating.  The property is located across the street from HEB grocery which makes it super easy to grab food/drinks for the trip.  I recommend this place for anyone with a group!
1347317,21248452,2014-10-13,14449610,Vijesh,Place was great and accommodated everyone. Terrance was also a great host and very flexible with everything. I would definitely recommend staying here.
1347317,21587642,2014-10-20,20557005,Matthew,Had 9 guys here for a bachelor party. Had an awesome time. Had plenty of room for everyone and the large couch was great allowing everyone to hangout together. Grocery store across the street was very convenient and everything was a short uber away. Would recommend staying here.   
1347317,21959025,2014-10-27,4848771,Jay,"Terrance was a solid host -- extremely responsive. House was in a good location, pretty close to downtown (5-10 min Uber ride) and accommodated our 9 guests without any issues. House was well decorated, modern amenities, and the hot tub was a nice way to end the day."
1347317,22355382,2014-11-04,19070786,Paul,"Terrance was an excellent host!  This was my first airbnb rental, and he made the process very simple.  We had the house for the Formula 1 weekend and it accommodated 15 guys well.  
The location of the house was fantastic for us.  It is very close to the airport and Formula 1 track ($20-30 Uber).  It is also really convenient to downtown ($10 Uber).
Best of all, the house is right across from a large grocery store, so no need to plan ahead for meals, drinks etc.
We will likely return to Austin in coming years for the F1 race and will definitely stay here if it is available.
Thanks, Terrance!"
1347317,23696986,2014-12-08,622037,Sunny,Terrance was a great host.  The house is exactly as described and made for an ideal weekend.  I appreciated his active communication and his effort to make our trip a success. I would highly recommend.
1347317,24216384,2014-12-22,16834377,Peter,I'm a personal assistant and was setting up a bachelor party for my client--Terrance was terrifically helpful and his place was everything we'd hoped.
1347317,25554643,2015-01-19,24954144,Kenneth,"Terrance was nothing but service oriented, particularly when working with a large group of us.  The house's openess, entertainment system, and generous spaces went a long towards chillng out with a good bunch of friends. "
1347317,26310030,2015-02-09,25794677,Adam,"I hosted my brother's bachelor party here and it went seamless without a hitch. Terrance was great and very helpful throughout the entire planning process, prompt about everything with details upon check in, managing the house and check out. 

The house was in excellent condition with great appliances, amenities and technology. Well suited for any sort of event. Not only that but the location is superb with a grocery store and brewery only steps away. Very close to the heart of 6th street and Rainey.

All in all, can't say enough about the weekend and Terrance on how everything was handled."
1347317,26982790,2015-02-23,24656736,Jeffrey,"Terrance was an awesome host - from the moment we booked until after check out, he was available to help with any questions we had. The house is exactly as described and is directly across the street from the supermarket and a quick Uber to the 6th St. and Rainey bars/restaurants. I highly recommend Terrance and this house to anyone looking to go to Austin. "
1347317,29257304,2015-04-06,25744319,Shaddy,"Terrance is absolutely terrific! It was my first time to use Airbnb so I was a bit apprehensive. But not after this stay. The place was all that was promised and more. Beautiful, comfortable and location is perfectly located near 6th and Rainey street for bar hoping. This made for a perfect bachelor party. Can't wait to come back and rent this place again. Thanks, Terrance for a perfect slice of Austin!"
1347317,30275898,2015-04-20,24166427,Daniel,"Terrance was the perfect host! The house was perfect when we arrived and any assistance that I needed was fulfilled. For the both of us, this was probably the easiest transaction possible. This house was perfect for our bachelor party and I was told on numerous occasions that this was one of the best bachelor parties some of the guys have ever been to. Place is also in great walking distance to a brewery, dive bars and numerous places to get amazing food. The neighborhood was not a problem and the HEB was frequented by myself at least 10x for things we needed. Especially important if your weekend involves drinking. No need to drive or call an Uber. I would definitely recommend this place again!"
1347317,30756860,2015-04-27,2578969,Alex,"Terrance is a great host, incredibly helpful and also really flexible on check-in, check-out, planning and set up for the weekend. 12 people slept here comfortably and had a great time. Would recommend to others particularly groups."
1347317,32026378,2015-05-12,15327124,Nicky,The house is excellent! Just like the pictures and the design of the house is very neat. We hosted a farewell party here and all our guest loved the house. It was so useful that Terrance has all sorts of hitech widgets so that we were able to use airplay on the TV to present pictures and videos during the event. Sound and light control system is amazing with APPs! Very close to HEB and plenty of parking on the streets. Terrance replied everything very fast and was very helpful to answer all my questions.
1347317,33299225,2015-05-26,28258613,Thierry,Our host Terrance  was very accommodating and helpful.  The Condo was just as the photos illustrated. I would  welcome anyone to book this wonderful home in prime  location  with Terrance for downtown  activities & fun.
1347317,33618247,2015-05-30,15103144,Marla,"Our host was amazing and extremely accommodating.  We were doing a company offsite and need to arrive early. Our host made sure everything was all ready and didn't mind that we were sitting in the living room while he finished up preparing the house. 

We were there all afternoon and it was amazing place to both unwind and concentrate. I would totally book this location again for any activity that needs a wonderful location for a large group of people. "
1347317,33766612,2015-06-01,21656097,Caitlin,"House was great and accommodated a large group of 12. Great, central location and access to a grocery store right across the street!"
1347317,34435030,2015-06-08,30961254,Nicholas,"Terrance was very easy to work with, very responsive and made the overall experience that much better and hassle free. He was available when ever we needed him to be before, during and after the trip. Overall, great experience.

However, if you are truly looking for a 16+ person place, this is not the best sleeping accommodations. There are only 2 rooms and everything else is AeroBeds and fitting 6 queen size air mattresses was not easy, let alone comfortable. House in general had all the amenities needed, except for Cable. All viewings were through Apple TV, Xbox or Amazon Fire. "
1347317,35295863,2015-06-17,20582305,Thomas,Terrance is a total pro. His place was exactly as described– full of awesome amenities and excellent decor. We had zero issues. He was extremely responsive and gracious. Our party was large but we were entirely taken care of. We'll remember this weekend forever. Thank you Terrance!!!
1347317,38669235,2015-07-17,25667426,Michael,"Staying at Terrance's place was exactly what we had hoped for! Myself and 6 friends had not been all together for two years and Terrance provided a perfect arrangement for us to celebrate our friend's wedding and enjoy our first trip to Texas (Austin in particular)! The house had everything one would need for a night out. We were able to enjoy each other's company with the outdoor hot tub and sonos music system. The house was only a 5-10 minute ride away from the bustling downtown. The beds were extremely comfortable and easily accommodated all 7 of us! The next morning we were only a 10 minute run away from a great running trail along the river. We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect for the evening, thanks Terrance!"
1347317,39063096,2015-07-20,23466853,Matthew,"If you like fun Airbnb hosts, Terrance is the example! He did great at making my group feel comfortable and well taken care of. The home was incredible, and very tech. We enjoyed every bit! Thanks Terrance!"
1347317,39466823,2015-07-23,19633819,Doc,"Great stay, very nice place.  Hot tub hit the spot."
1347317,40881850,2015-08-03,25911243,Belinda,"We had a bachelorette party with 10 girls here for one weekend in Austin and it was perfection. This house was made for a large group with a great open kitchen, large big screen TV's, open couch for multiple people to sit on at the same time and multiple beds to accommodate everyone. The location is great, our Uber rides ranged from 7-8 minutes to downtown and Congress. HEB is within walking distance as well as a great brunch place right across the street called Mettle (warning: cute staff). Terrance was always available one text away and always answered my questions in a timely fashion. We would stay again! Until next time, Austin. "
1347317,42697124,2015-08-15,36784529,Alexander,"Terrance was a great host and the house was amazing. 9 of us stayed there very comfortably, the facilities were wonderful and Terrance answered any queries we had very swiftly. Thank you Terrance!"
1347317,43031221,2015-08-17,31988688,John,"Terrance did a great job.  5 stars. Would stay again, loved the location. "
1347317,46117842,2015-09-08,26303755,Alex,"Terrance was an excellent host who provided everything you need to enjoy a great time in Austin, Texas. I 100% would recommend staying here, as the house is awesome and you will definitely enjoy yourself. "
1347317,46871602,2015-09-14,35475914,Michael,"Terrance was great, all around very helpful and informative. Neighborhood was safe and convenient. Super close to a market which is awesome. The house is as advertised. Very modern and well designed. Nice big TV, ping pong table, great areas to hang out. Felt like I was staying at a house that was on the show Real World. "
1347317,48732852,2015-09-28,2664485,Jon,Terrance was responsive and pleasant to coordinate with. We had a great stay in Austin! Would definitely recommend!
1347317,49253077,2015-10-02,43544930,Mary Lynn,"Terrance graciously guided me through the steps of my first Airbnb experience, and provided a PERFECT place for our 2 night stay celebrating my daughter's 26th birthday with her best friends. The home was well done and perfectly equipped for several overnight guests, as well as for hosting a get together for about 25 people.  Terrance quickly and patiently answered all inquiries during our stay and could not have been more accommodating. I unhesitatingly recommend Terrance as a host and this place for a wonderfully relaxing stay."
5077716,28182299,2015-03-19,158465,Steve,Mathan's place is in a brand new building right in the heart of downtown Austin. I couldn't imagine a better location for attending SXSW! Outdoor balcony with a great view. Checkin was seamless and Mathan was always responsive and helpful!
5077716,32437969,2015-05-17,27678662,Dusty,Great host and very clean and convenient space! Very close to everything and Mathan was polite enough to to let me stay late on my checkout date. Highly recommend!!
5077716,34088825,2015-06-04,11340940,Ning,"Mathan was the perfect host.  His home is gorgeous, in a super convenient and great location and so comfortable!  I travel to Austin a lot and this is a favorite Airbnb now!"
5077716,35404275,2015-06-18,5476271,Beaudry,"Mathan was very responsive and helpful. The place is comfortable, decently clean and very centrally located. Only issue was that I felt a bit misled on the listing - it's definitely not a two bedroom; more like a one bedroom with a day-bed alcove. No biggie, but if you're looking for a two bedroom, this is not that."
5077716,36123289,2015-06-25,2294079,Rachel,"This place was amazing!  Impeccably clean, comfortable, lovely (and communicative) hosts, great pool, and most importantly very very close to the convention center.  This made it possible to drop in and say hi to the kids in the middle of the day at the conference.  I highly recommend."
5077716,36480511,2015-06-28,12510535,Lisa,Had a great time while staying @ Mathan's. Top notch place that offers wonderful amenities & superb location.

5077716,49443919,2015-10-04,12355633,Darby,We had an excellent experience.  The place was immaculate and the location was perfect.
5077716,50282797,2015-10-11,39644995,Maya,"Mathan was a great host - he met us when we arrived at the location to introduce us to the condo and give us keys. Everything about the posting was accurate including the description of the space, the prime location and amenities. The condo had a great feel to it and one thing not mentioned was the little balcony outside that was pleasant in the evening. I would love to stay there again when I return to Austin."
5077716,52040268,2015-10-26,27796794,Lindsay,"Mathan was very friendly and accommodating. He met us at the door and made sure we had everything we need, as well as making himself available if we had later questions.

The apartment was lovely. Very nice, open, clean and comfortable. Located in a great, walkable, area of Austin. Perfect for what we needed on this trip!"
969561,10414832,2014-02-17,11420583,Gerardo,Ellen went out of her way to make our stay very pleasant. The bedroom and bathroom were both very clean. In the morning she provided us with coffe and breakfast goods. Would definitely come back! 
969561,10908738,2014-03-12,1636091,Erin,"My friend Alandra and I stayed with Joe and Ellen for SXSW, and were pleasantly surprised by their overwhelming kindness and  hospitality! Their house is gorgeous, newly renovated, and we had a ton of privacy. Getting a taxi was a nightmare during the festival, so they even helped us make it to a very important film premiere on time by giving us a last minute ride! Joe made us a delicious Whole Foods-esque breakfast complete with homemade scones. I will definitely be staying with them the next time I'm in Austin. Thank you again, Ellen and Joe! "
969561,10980388,2014-03-16,11842960,Diarmaid,Ellen and her husband Joe couldn't have done more to accommodate me during my stay in Austin. Their house is beautiful and the bedroom and bathroom provided during my stay were perfect. Be sure to book with Ellen and Joe if you're looking to visit Austin!
969561,11041599,2014-03-17,13125272,Rehan,Ellen and Joe were amazing to stay with. They own a beautiful home and were very accommodating. I would reccomend for anyone to stay with them if they are in austin.
969561,11331457,2014-03-30,9290848,Jennifer,"Ellen and her husband Joe were great! They were flexible with our change of arrival time, and didn't mind that we came in late each evening. Nor did they mind we had our 4 month old daughter with us! 

They are extremely friendly and fun to talk to, and their local recommendations for restaurants were spot-on! Each morning they had a continental breakfast for us with coffee and tea, and we enjoyed their beautiful home over warm beverages and wonderful conversation.

The drive into downtown is extremely straightforward, and it feels like less than 15 minutes, even at 8 am on a Friday. Their neighborhood is beautiful and wonderful for walks and views of downtown from the hilltop.

I would recommend staying with Joe and Ellen to anyone, and we would definitely see if they had availability whenever we're back in Austin."
969561,11383652,2014-03-31,9503800,Jon-Erick,"Lovely 'old Austin' residential setting conveniently situated just off Mopac between 35th and 45th. A taste of true old Austin in this awesome ravine sited home from 1957. Quiet, spacious rooms with a great new bathroom. Very gracious and kind hearted Austinite hosts. All in all it would be hard to imagine asking for anything more. "
969561,11766077,2014-04-14,13665841,Debra,"Ellen and Joe are just charming and their home is beautiful and newly renovated.  The accommodations are private and the location in Austin, just fabulous.  It's just 10 minutes to downtown in no traffic.  I would highly recommend staying with Ellen and Joe and will be back if my travel takes me again to Austin.  "
969561,12593697,2014-05-05,12327741,Libby,"Ellen and Joe were excellent hosts! There house is so beautiful and we felt instantly welcomed and comfortable. You couldn't ask for a more perfect neighborhood! Joe and Ellen have great stories to tell also, so please spare a moment to have a conversation if time allows :)"
969561,13390566,2014-05-26,408140,Rachel,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay with Ellen and Joe. There home is beautiful--so nicely renovated--and we felt very comfortable there for the night. We had everything we needed (even an extra toothbrush!). We hope we'll have a chance to go back and chat more with Ellen and Joe, since they are also avid travels, educators, gardeners... Their neighborhood on the hill is lovely. Ellen left us coffee and a tasty continental breakfast out for when we rolled out of bed and their quiet and breezy home was a perfect getaway from Houston.  It was really so close to downtown that heading out to dinner was easy and enjoyable."
969561,13865282,2014-06-06,15981138,Linda,"This was a great place to stay with comfortable bed, very nice bath and outstanding hosts. We highly recommend these accommodations and would stay again. Thank you Ellen and Joe!"
969561,13904620,2014-06-07,4042628,Kay,"Ellen and her Husbsnd were incredible hosts, in every good sense of the word. We were traveling across country, during a move to SF., and didn't know exactly when, or where,  for that matter, we'd end up. They were so accommodating in so little time and the accommodations themselves were just lovely! It was great too, that over coffee and tea the next morning that we could chat, get to know each other,  our achievements,  our dreams the synergies and i had the pleasure of rubbing elbows with the lady of the house. I would definitely stay at their Beautiful home again, if you'll have me Ellen and family ! Thank you again for everything and see you for the music festivities. That reminds me ; )"
969561,14108533,2014-06-11,6546578,Mark,"Ellen & Joe rolled out the red carpet for me although I think that's how they treat all of their guests; they could not have been more hospitable. Their home in general, the bedroom and the bathroom are very nice comfortable.

I connected immediately with both Ellen and Joe and had great conversations that could have gone on much longer. I hope to continue the conversation during my next stay.

Highly recommended."
969561,15864496,2014-07-17,15156636,Peter,"Ellen and family made us feel very at home and were always able to take our questions, even when on vacation themselves. The house is beautiful and efficiently conservation minded in it's energy usage (so, for those who wish to stay ""green"" while traveling, this would be the perfect place to stay!), though that is in no way to suggest the accommodations were anything but excellent! The interior is very warm and inviting; luxurious and yet quite comforting in its charm. The windows let in a lot of sunlight which helps fill to fill the interior with a soft illumination which makes one feel right at home, as well as giving a wonderful view and access to the backyard. The yard itself is large and quite scenic with it's flowers and succulents on display, and I love the feel of the deck (perfect place to relax if the weather's not too hot!). The bedrooms also feel very comforting, and the den/living room is a great place to post up with a good book and some coffee. The main bathroom is lovely as well. A word on energy usage, as previously mentioned: there are multiple heat/AC units throughout the house for zoned climate control, so the energy used is spent efficiently in each area (and there are plenty of fans too for the summer heat!). The water heater is also set to a control, which works incredibly well at getting a warm shower going with just the flick of a switch. The washer and drier are also class, and the wifi works excellent! The neighborhood is affluent, very green, and very close to all major highways, both north/south and east/west, and is incredibly close to downtown, the university, and the older neighborhoods.  My Girlfriend and I stayed for a week and when we asked to add on two more days while in Austin it was not a problem, and like I mentioned before, all while they were in transit for their own vacation (at which point, certainly, anyone's time becomes valuable; even a host's!) The home is also within walking distance to a café, a grocer, and not too far of a drive from most anywhere you'd want to go (even getting out of the city to Houston was just a quick drive up the street to the 290) The area is really close to many of the greenbelts as well, so if you're hiking it would be an excellent location. All in all, we felt very at home and even had an extra surprise of a stocked fridge with lots of baked goods they had left for us! I would recommend staying with the Bells at their charming home, and we are very grateful they shared it with us! Definitely helped lend to a great trip and a great experience in the city for me (since I had never been to Austin before). "
969561,17125834,2014-08-07,14126736,Crystal,Joe and Ellen (aka Jellen) were wonderful hosts! It was like coming home to Mom and Pop and warm fig preserves! Thank you!
969561,18777940,2014-08-31,20692062,Olivier,"Thanks so much to Ellen and Joe

This was our first Airbnb and it couldn't have been better.

We arrived and were welcomed into their beautiful home by Ellen and shown around. She made us feel really welcome and chatted to us about the local area, places to visit and recommended cafés/restaurants to try. 

Our room was very clean and spacious with beautiful furnishings and a comfortable bed. The house is decorated impeccably, and we particularly liked the French references! 

We had a lot of privacy with our bedroom and bathroom and were made to feel at home.  
In the morning we had a delicious breakfast and felt we could have stayed longer.

Thanks again-would highly recommend to anyone.

969561,19584249,2014-09-14,9308114,Bithiah,Ellen and Joe were wonderful hosts. Their home is warm and bright. We enjoyed the room and their great hospitality. 
969561,19881946,2014-09-20,19742690,Scotchie,"I give a FIVE STAR rating to the lodging experience provided by Joe and Ellen in Austin TX.
I was particularly favorably impresses with the prompt response to questions before the stay.
I was greeted warmly and not ""TOO"" hovering.  I was impressed with the privacy I was provided.
The lodging was completed updated and very comfortable.  I really enjoyed my stay at the accomodations hosted by Ellen Bell, and I would reccomend  them without reservation to anyone.

969561,20321145,2014-09-27,12141057,Andrew,Ellen and Joe are a wonderful couple who made us feel right at home in Austin.  They are warm and enthusiastic.  And we came out every morning to a delicious breakfast.  Make sure to ask Joe to show you the tower from the highest spot in town (which conveniently is in front of their home).
969561,20867500,2014-10-06,21783736,Clayton,The hosts Joe and Ellen were very friendly and welcoming.  They provided breakfast and made us feel at home.  I would highly recommend them to a friend.

It felt nice to stay there after a busy day in Austin! The beds were cozy and the shower was spacious.  They sat down with us for complimentary breakfast and had a really nice time chatting with them.  They made me and my mom feel welcomed, I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to stay in a cozy spot near Downtown Austin! "

969561,22260784,2014-11-02,22344659,Palak,"I visited Austin with a friend last weekend and decided to stay at this listed property. It was a great pleasure staying at Ellen and Joe's place. They are wonderful hosts and I enjoyed my short stay at their home. They were quite flexible with our timings. Their house is located in a nice and quiet neighbourhood and their house itself is really beautiful. The room was quite spacious with all basic things you can expect in a bedroom. And, they were kind enough to let us use general house areas without any restriciton. They also provided us a delicious breakfast the next day. 

Overall, a great experience. Ellen and Joe are very nice people and hosts and I would definitely recommend anyone visting Austin to stay at their home. "
969561,23026505,2014-11-20,9804521,Vinayak,I had a great time staying with The Bells; they were great hosts! The accommodations were exactly as described. The neighborhood is quiet and it's in a great location. I would definitely recommend this listing!
969561,23562986,2014-12-04,9804521,Vinayak,"This was my second time staying with Ellen and Joe, and it was just as great as the first time. Highly recommend this listing if you are looking for a low-key and comfortable option on the west side of town. "
969561,23674005,2014-12-07,11299504,Mason,"Ellen is an absolute life saver; after two female friends of mine booked a stay at a less-than-pleasant location for a weekend conference at UT, I was in a tight bind to find a safe and comfortable place for them to lay their heads on short notice. Ellen accepted my last-minute reservation immediately and she was very understanding about our situation. She was communicative, timely, and warm. She and her partner Joe were very nice (I only met Joe in person). They are true Austinites: hospitable, interesting, and caring folk. Their house is absolutely to die for and their accommodations made staying in their home seem like staying with a close relative (there was water waiting for the ladies in their rooms, as well as breakfast the following morning). The house was very clean, nicely decorated, and extremely comfortable. Both of my charges reported not wanting to leave! Thanks Ellen and Joe."

The rooms and bathrooms were immaculate yet cozy, clean and fresh.
The location was close enough to the University  and accessible without getting on the traffic choked Interstate.

969561,27151805,2015-02-26,363371,Mel,"Ellen and Joe were absolutely wonderful hosts.  Classy people.  They too care of me like a son and made sure I had a very easy accommodation.  It was one of my better stays not only because of their hospitality but also because of the big space and privacy via a separate wing of the house.  I could work in peace with instant wireless, rest, read, including good amenities in the bathroom.  Breakfast was great with a beautiful view with a patio.  And super easy access to downtown less than 15 minutes away.  I will stay again!!!!     "
969561,27295113,2015-03-01,28058169,Melody,What a wonderful stay! The house and room were beautiful and comfortable. Ellen and Joe were warm and welcoming. They made us feel like family. We especially enjoyed the engaging conversations over breakfast.  My husband and I look forward to staying here again on our next visit to Austin.
969561,27621052,2015-03-08,15834667,Jarrod,"Ellen and Joe are perfect hosts, flexible and accommodating. Will certainly stay here again next time we're in Austin. The house is emaculate and the neighborhood quaint and quiet. Wish we could have stayed longer."
969561,28006386,2015-03-16,68530,Libby,"Ellen and Joe were magnificent hosts and made me feel welcome in their lovely home. During my stay, my hours were erratic to say the least, but that wasn't a problem; even though my spaces were inside their house, with them a room away, it was seperate enough that I was able to tuck away and feel secluded. When I did get to spend time with them, I enjoyed learning about their lives and interests - Joe and I talked about Texas history, Ellen and I discussed textiles. It was a pleasure!"
969561,28202453,2015-03-20,17972886,John,"Our stay at Ellen and Joe Bell's on Madrona in Austin surpassed even the high expectations I had after reading some of the other reviews left by other guests.  The residence is immaculate, inviting, and perfectly exemplifies the quiet and casual Austin neighborhood of Highland Park.  The guest rooms and bathroom were wonderful, and many hotels could learn a thing or two about the order and amenities included by the hosts (ex. water next to the beds, spare toiletries, seamless wifi).  The kitchen, breakfast island, and reading room were five-star.  Period.
The real highlight of the stay however were our interactions with the hosts themselves.  I had never booked an airbnb stay where the owners are on-site before partly out of fear that my coffee intake or my early hours might cause a disturbance.  With the Bell's, my fears were entirely put at ease.  They are both an absolute joy to talk to, and I actually regret not having more time to talk to them about Austin history, planting, the neighborhoods, etc.  Both Ellen and Joe typify why Austin people have such an amazing reputation.  Socially conscious, environmentally aware and proactive...the type of people that the rest of the world needs more of, but somehow Austin seems to attract and keep around for years.  
Other than that, fresh breakfasts were provided every morning, as was great coffee.  In fact, Ellen popped into a new coffee shop that I had mentioned in conversation and brought home a bag of fresh beans just because she was in the area anyway.  These are the type of people the Bell's are, as I mentioned above.  
I highly recommend booking the Bell's bnb if you are coming to Austin and want a real neighborhood experience, away from downtown and 6th street (not that they are far away).  The northside haunts are mere minutes away, ie. Ginny's, Fonda San Miguel, epicurie, Lucy's, Taco Flats, Amy's Ice Cream, etc.  "
969561,32019637,2015-05-12,28011813,Ingrid,Ellen and Joe are absolutely fantastic hosts! Their home is beautiful and they go above and beyond to make their guests feel welcome. 
969561,32735338,2015-05-20,33684372,Janet,"The host were gracious and friendly.  Their home has just been remodeled and is lovely, just as they are.  The ""Two for the price of one"" indicates that there is a sitting room along with a nice size bedroom and a large bathroom connected by a hall.  The morning breakfast was tasty and healthy.  

This is a home that I will certainly enjoy again!"
969561,33009924,2015-05-24,32540885,Hsiao,They are awesome!!! They so friendly and make us feel welcome on our first time using Airbnb !! 
969561,34963159,2015-06-14,13411962,Cristian,"Our stay at Ellen's was very nice. The house was well kept. The use of the back deck was perfect for morning coffee and sun. Although Ellen was not home during our weekend she left everything set up for us. The location is perfect for getting into Downtown or to the North end of the city but a car would be needed for each. 
Overall a great place to stay. "
969561,44039938,2015-08-23,23469592,Laura,"Ellen and Joe were both friendly and generous guests! Down to earth and very earth conscious, which my sister and I loved. The sofa turns into a futon bed, which I actually don't mind sleeping on it as is, but Joe made it up for me and I'm glad he did. It was super soft and I kept contemplating ways to steal one of the pillows (I have no shame, okay, good pillows are hard to come by!) Their mailbox also has a cute little library attached to it and OMG, the amount of books left me in pure envy! That and their reading room/sitting room with TWO reading nooks. I was super sad I didn't get to use either one or read any of their books, but the next time, yes!

Let them know beforehand if you won't be making it for breakfast as they cook it around 7:30. I completely forgot the first morning we were there. They live in hill country, so if you're use to flat land, beware! Their car port is also steep, but their location has some of the best views when you head to County Line (wonderful BBQ place with a lake right on their back porch and tons of turtles!) or on your way downtown, or to any destination really. We were 10-20 min drive from everything!

Good place, good people. Would definitely stay here again!"

C:  My first Airbnb and the bar has been set high - very high.  Beautiful home, beautiful neighborhood, and gracious hosts.  I could not have asked for a better experience.  Ellen and Joe are the nicest people - interesting, sincere and great breakfast cooks.
W: I have never been so pleasantly surprised.  Our hosts were extraordinary, and I've never given anyone a hug that I wasn't related to when I stayed at their place (yes, they got hugs). If I ever return to Austin, I will be staying here!  A++++++
N: Hosts were delightful!  The place was clean, nice and quite lovely. It was centrally located with only a short drive to downtown.  Beautiful neighborhood and easy on off to MOPAC.  Would both highly recommend and would stay with them again."

969561,51896341,2015-10-25,12384788,Connie,Hurricane Patricia prevented us from getting to Texas and staying with Ellen and Joe. What a pity! They couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating in e-mail and brief phone calls.  
1868668,10920108,2014-03-13,11360430,Leslie,"We had a great time staying in this house during SXSW. It was big, clean and empty, but did have a few toiletries and plenty of sheets and towels. This house was close to downtown, but just far enough away to provide privacy and quiet. Amazing food and shopping within walking distance.
Turnkey did a great job of answering all of my questions in a timely manner. Great experience!"

All the appliances, Wi-Fi, and TVs worked and were in good condition. Kitchen had plenty of space to prepare meals. Booking process and house access was convenient and I received quicj replies to all of my inquiries. I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
1868668,21575033,2014-10-20,9339949,Sylvia,"Communication was perfect. Lots of e-mails with information about how to reach the property and entering the property (keyless) was easy. The house was exactly as described. Beautiful craftsman in an ideal neighborhood for us. Lovely bedrooms, woodwork, and comfortable common rooms for our us. Well equipped, beautiful yard. Close to park, Big Stacey pool, just off SoCo. We were made to feel welcome with early arrival and late check out possibilities texted to us. We couldn't have been happier with our stay in this cottage. It's the perfect house for an Austin vacation. "
1868668,23690943,2014-12-08,22998984,Dorothy,"We were a party of 10. The space worked great for us. The house was clean and welcoming. Management kept in touch to answer  any questions.

Erica told me everything I needed to know and was quick to respond. The house sat a block off South Congress which is such a cool part of town.

I was the one out of my group of friends who reserved this home but unfortunately, was unable to make the trip do to a medical issue. I did ask the others what suggestions or feedback they had and the told me the house itself was large and great for a group of people. Nice open floor plan and plenty of bedrooms. The location could not be beat! They were able to walk to shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.

The inside and outside of the house could have been a bit cleaner.
There were also not enough towels for the whole group and they had to call a few times to get them."
1868668,29256173,2015-04-06,1360129,Will,"We checked into a clean and comfortable house that worked well for our group of 11 guys in town for a bachelor party.  There were ample sleeping spaces, large communal areas, and a satisfactory kitchen.  The location was perfect for walks to SoCo and short cabs to the rest of the town.  

We arrived to find a backyard that was under construction and not at all grassy and clean like the listing shows it to be.  Once the pool construction is complete, this will surely be an amazing backyard.  Until then, don't plan to spend any time in the yard.  To the host's credit, they worked with me to find an agreeable solution to the surprise appearance of the yard.  I would certainly return to this house in the future."

We had a few questions when we arrived and turnkey was easy to get ahold of via phone. The neighborhood was fun and accessible to all of the fun on South Congress. Overall, we had fun here. It wasn't luxurious by any means but it served its purpose. "
1868668,35770654,2015-06-22,6178440,Brenda,"Poorly maintained house.  Unsafe access to both the house and cottage due to deep mud on the walkways and drive.  Really bad smell in the rear of the house.  Something rotting perhaps in the attic, or venting.  Kitchen is lacking in cooking utensils, pans, bakeware - - was enough if you only had 4 people to cook for, but not 16!  Couldn't begin to cook meals for our family, and had to eat out most of the time as a result.  Only four worn towels - should be at least 16 complete sets.  Smoke alarms are defective.  Random beeping thru out the night, made for 2 out of 3 sleepless nights.  Property management was somewhat responsive, by bringing by 6 more sets of towels - still not 16; might of changed the alarm batteries, however, they still were beeping on the third night.  Overall, disappointed in the quality of the home.  It needs to have a very comprehensive inspection before being rented again."
1868668,45125920,2015-08-31,39720610,Lauren,The listing was accurate.  The house was plenty big for our group.  The neighborhood was very walkable to restaurants.
1868668,48672918,2015-09-28,2369892,Leslie,"This property is managed by a rental company and not an individual owner, therefore, the experience wasn't very personal, however, if was efficient and the company was responsive. 

House was great for a big group. Bedrooms were large and spacious and kitchen/common spaces great for big groups, although the kitchen could use a few more cooking supplies (i.e. large pots and pan) to make cooking for large groups easier."
1868668,52823396,2015-11-02,40209292,Kinjal,"The description was perfectly accurate! Due to the weather, we weren't able to enjoy the pool. The entire house was very clean. The neighborhood was really nice -- walking distance to a bunch of cute shops and restaurants on Congress. The house accommodated our group of 13 perfectly. "

Everything you need is there ,  it's clean and the busses are just down the road."
5674141,49984870,2015-10-08,8992727,Elissa,"I felt very at home with Pauline. She recommended a spot called the Whip In and it had amazing Indian food, beer, and live music. The neighborhood was quiet and really cute. The curtains blocked out all the light, perfect for sleeping in. A pitcher of water was ready in my room when I arrived. The kitchen is great, loved grabbing a piece of fruit on my way out the door. The bathroom was clean and well lit, plenty of travel shampoos to use. And the bed was SOOOO comfortable!"
5674141,50256542,2015-10-10,20649245,Taria,my visit with pauline was wonderful. relaxed and comforting. she was very thorough in explaining the house. the neighborhood was very safe and comfortable. she had tea and coffee available as well. i even became good friends with her neighbors   i would definitely recommend pauline as a host  
5674141,50631341,2015-10-13,41106249,Emily,"Pauline welcomed us upon our arrival for a tour, rules of the home, suggestions for exploring Austin, etc.

The room was quaint and the house was quiet (max 2 people). Pauline provided towels, filtered water, blankets, bike usage, and PBJ sandwiches (though I never saw the supplies out for us).

"

She is a free spirit who welcomes visitors with open arms, someone who is genuinely interested in people. She graciously lent me her bicycle and left me a pitcher of water in my room. I had a great night's sleep and I'm thankful I made a friend in Austin. You rock Pauline!!"

The location is great in a quite neighborhood. My whole family (8p) was very please with this listing and all the amenities included. There was great communication before we arrived so we knew we were in good hands with Steve as a host.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Austin and will definitely stay here again!"
5631646,30721137,2015-04-26,16776012,Scot,"We had a wonderful weekend in Austin and Steve's house was the perfect home base. We loved the neighborhood and we were only a short drive from downtown and 20 minutes from South Congress. 

Steve was a great host and very attentive to our needs. He helped me figure out some issues I was having with the lock on the door (user error) and the thermostat (again, user error). 

The home was very comfortable, the towels were super soft, and having fans in each of the bedrooms was a welcome amenity. 

The kitchen is amazing-- but because we were eating out way through Austin, we didn't fully take advantage of all the amenities. 

We loved the large screen tv and the Bluetooth radios throughout. There was plenty of seating in the living room for us to sit together and watch a movie after a long day out. 

The showers and bathrooms are really well appointed and the tile floor and hardwood floors really help keep the place cool. 

I would recommend Steve's house to anyone. In fact, when we were leaving on Sunday the neighbors stopped by and asked to see the inside. They LOVED the improvement Steve had made to what was apparently and eyesore and they even talked about having their parents stay there next time they come to visit. 

All in all, a wonderful house at a reasonable rate with all the comforts of home. "
5631646,31245687,2015-05-03,29047190,Kevin,"The home presented in person as well as described in the advertisement. We were a party of 8, and had more than enough room for every individual to feel comfortable. The location of the home is difficult to beat, as you are only a few minutes from Rainey St, 6th and several golf courses for leisure, and equally near the Capitol if visiting for business. Steve was a tremendous host, interacting as much or as little as needed and leaving clear and concise instructions for check-in/check-out. I'll certainly be using Steve's property on 37th again in the future!"
5631646,31810141,2015-05-10,8917264,Dave,Steve's house on 37th was in great condition and perfectly ready for guests. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint. We loved the house and all its amenities.

The location is convenient, right off of the main thoroughfare Guadalupe and near the campus. I went on a run one morning, and enjoyed seeing all of the greenery that everyone keeps in their cute homes! The home was well decorated, but it did have that totally neutral, AirBnB  rental feel. The kitchen was a bit sparse with supplies, but we were able to cook breakfast each morning without much issue. Steve was easy to work with and responsive."
5631646,34981329,2015-06-14,33375261,Daina,The place was amazing!  Perfect location for downtown festivities.  We had some mechanical issues & the owner bent over BACKWARDS to make sure we were taken care of the whole weekend. We will DEFINITELY looking forward to coming back in the future

5631646,37170184,2015-07-05,2472814,Kimberly,"Miracle On 37th St was perfect four our group's trip to Austin for the 4th of July. We had 6 people in our group and the house was roomy enough for us all. The house was very clean and well decorated/furnished and the kitchen was amazing (we got our use out of it by making breakfast every morning)! The location is very conveniently located -- a Starbucks around the corner, and Amy's Ice Cream, and a Central Market a few blocks away. This house was definitely the best kept on the street. Steve was a great host --- left me thorough instructions and had a helpful guidebook on the coffee table that had suggestions on places to visit, and even gave suggestions on where to go for fireworks. I whole-heartedly recommend this rental and if I could, I would live there myself."
5631646,38525514,2015-07-16,36390112,Kim,"Steve gave us all of the information we needed to make the stay easy and stress free.  The neighborhood was perfect for our needs (we were in town for freshman orientation at UT).  We were a 10 minute drive from everything we wanted to do in town.  We had a toddler with us, and he loved running around the house!  There was plenty of room for 4 of us, and it was so nice to have a covered parking space during the high heat. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen was modern.

"
5631646,39778052,2015-07-26,33312976,Jillian,We had a fabulous time celebrating our bride-to-be! The house was more than perfect. The only issue we had was figuring out the thermostat. So when we were getting ready the house got toasty. The kitchen was beautiful and the updates were phenomenal.

The place is clean and Steve provides many towels and bed sheets.  The new air-condition is great and keep all my family comfortably cool. The kitchen is fully equipped and also it's has washer and dryer. 

I recommend future guests to stay at miracle on W37 Th st.  We definitely comeback at this place next summer. 

Thank you for your kind hospitality...."

It's also a block away from a major north-south bus line, which makes getting around easy.  The house is comfortable and pretty, and gave us plenty of room to hang out in.  Everything is in good condition and the house is well cared for overall.  The kitchen was well stocked with basics, and the towels and linens were nice and soft.

It was very clean and roomy. We enjoyed having enough room for the whole family to gather in the living room. It was also within walking distance from several great places to eat. 

Steve was a great host. If you are looking for a place to stay I highly recommend this gem! We wanted to rent it out again in May and were bummed to see if was already booked for the weekend we were coming. "

He quickly replied to every message I sent him, providing advice and recommendations on stuff to do, transportation options, and great places to eat. The house is gorgeous. Three huge bedrooms, very clean, wonderful backyard. Great neighborhood. The house is located right next to a bus route that takes you directly downtown to everything in Austin that you would want to access.
I highly recommend staying here."

My four friends and I were here for the ACL Music Festival and it was the perfect spot to be. Walking distance to CVS, Starbucks and several great places to eat. Also a very a short Uber ride to the festival and to the downtown spots (6th street, Rainey street). 

Steve also allowed us early check-in and late check-out times, which was super helpful. 

You can tell Steve has worked very hard to make this place feel like home to anyone who stays there. It is very up-to-date, beds are comfortable and the A/C was top notch. Also very nice of him to leave us excess towels, some refreshments in the fridge, and enough shampoo/soap for everyone. 

When we inevitably come back to Austin, this'll be our first choice to stay. Thanks again!"

John helped us with the ride. By the end of our stay, we all had such a wonderful conversation about travel, countries, cultures, and many other subjects.

The location is close to restaurants and grocery stores, many within short walking distance. We were there during thunder storms, tornado and flooding and the house and neighborhood provided a safe and cozy refuge. "
627784,36440452,2015-06-28,4201115,Lance,"Louie represents all what is right about Airbnb.  Could not be a nicer person (host), house is exactly as pictured and neighborhood is fantastic (if you like easy access to top restaurants, bars, parks and bakeries).  

I was staying here while I was looking for a house to buy and Louie was very helpful with her insight about the neighborhood and the in's and out's about buying an older home.  

I have no doubt that people could find a property as good as Louie's, and perhaps a host as nice and affable as she is, but I would be surprised if people could top either.   

If you are lucky enough to find this place available, and you appreciate a central Austin location with great access to Downtown, then this is a no-brainer reservation.   "
3353881,18776644,2014-08-31,9442520,Brittany,"This house is awesome! Beautiful backyard and in an amazing little area. Brooke was incredibly open and helpful in terms of booking this place, and it's clear this couple lives a very fun life! I would absolutely recommend staying here, and would stay again without a doubt. "
3353881,21154867,2014-10-12,21638112,Emily,"Friendly neighborhood & great place to stay! Kitchen was fully furnished. Feels like home! We were so glad to find a place that had chickens and a garden and compost bins... close to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Although our late arrival time didn't allow us to meet the owner, she was very easy to communicate with via text / phone. Will definitely consider next trip to Austin."
3353881,21521964,2014-10-19,20872126,Tammy,Brooke and her home were awesome!  We were in Austin for a wedding.  We chose her home because it was close to the wedding events. The house was perfect for our family of six!  Our granddaughter loved checking for chicken eggs!  My daughter and I got up early and felt safe enough to go running. Very nice area.   Will definitely try to stay here again if the opportunity arises!  Thanks Brooke!
3353881,23410066,2014-11-30,24051876,Anne,"We had a great time staying in Brooke and Chad's house for the Thanksgiving holiday!  It was perfect location to get to many places in the city, and the house was very comfortable.  And when we had a problem, Brooke was very responsive to try and solve it. Thanks for your hospitality!  "
3353881,24558009,2014-12-30,24820193,Adriana,"Muchas gracias por la estancia, la casa es comoda y el barrio tranquilo, pasamos mucho tiempo de compras, pero las noches fueron muy agradables, era como llegar a casa! El Apple TV fallo pero Brooke nos ayudo a instalar nuestro servicio de Netflix. Encantados volveríamos a hospedarnos con ellos!"
3353881,33131434,2015-05-25,14843591,Marcia,Great place! We really enjoyed our stay! Very spacious and comfortable. Brooke was very quick to respond to any question we had. Can't wait to stay there again! 
3353881,35221043,2015-06-16,32276052,Jeffrey,"My entire family and I were in Austin for a wedding. We arrived at the home and were warmly welcomed by our host, Brooke. She took the time to thoroughly explain things concerning the details of the home. The home was exactly as described. It had every essential that was needed to accommodate our large family. Our two grandkids loved visiting with the chickens in the backyard every morning, my son-in-law even fried a couple fresh eggs for breakfast - good times! Great home, nice location and area, we really had a blast and enjoyed our stay. Thanks again, Brooke!"
3353881,51137016,2015-10-18,42627869,Taryn,My family and I were in town for a wedding. Great location-close to many places and easily accessible. Quiet and safe neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting on the back deck. My son liked visiting with the chickens. Brooke and Chad were very friendly. Brooke answered any questions I had in a timely manner and was easy to work with. They even allowed us to bring 2 dogs.
4085743,22589446,2014-11-10,7067034,Robyn,"Not only was Erica an incredible host, but the house was perfect!! Erica left a list of her favorite local spots, which was really helpful when we were looking for restaurants and bars close by. She also was amazingly considerate and left a bottle of pink bubbly, since it was my birthday!! The house was in a really neat neighborhood, that felt quiet and secluded, even though it was minutes away from everything that we wanted to do. We were in wonder of the outside area, which was incredibly serene. We also loved the indoor hammock! I would definitely rent from Erica again on future trips to Austin!"
4085743,29898586,2015-04-13,26327498,Sam,Erica was awesome! Her place is just as awesome! She helped me out by making arrangements on a very short notice as my bachelor party plans fell through and she was able to accommodate my whole party as we switched our plans for a night out in Austin. She even got two six packs of local beer for the groom.  This is a great place with a great host
4085743,32404820,2015-05-17,14947148,Claire,"Erica's home was great! Very clean, great decor, and she was so easy and flexible to work with. "
4085743,33194900,2015-05-25,12840317,Donald,"Erica had very clear communication and was able to accommodate us with the perfect place to stay during our Austin visit. She tossed us the keys and stayed out of our way, which was perfect. :) 

Would definitely stay here again!"
4085743,37421238,2015-07-06,32796314,Bryan,Erica was a great host. She was very responsive and reliable. Her place is amazing and clean. Would stay there again! Thanks Erica!
4085743,46101675,2015-09-07,43356165,Neil,Erica was fantastic! She accommodated to our needs and answered any questions promptly. The house was cozy and the neighborhood was quiet. That was all we needed.
7985167,50659282,2015-10-13,3267863,Courtney,This house was perfect for us at ACL. Exactly as described! 
1305261,21226329,2014-10-13,14369844,Sebastian,"There is nothing better than this gem in the Austin area for the price. I would love this home as my own and it has the best down to earth feeling you expect to get from Austin. Will be staying here again, so please take care of this home. :)"
1305261,27988003,2015-03-16,19867269,Anna,"Our stay at The Coop was absolutely wonderful. The house is fantastic and more spacious than portrayed in the photos. Robin and Mike went the extra mile to make us feel welcome in their home, and we couldn't have had a better experience during our stay in Austin. We highly recommend staying here!! 

Thanks Robin and Mike!

"
1305261,28377062,2015-03-23,5303204,Olivia And Kari,"We had a lovely time at the Coop! Upon arrival we found wine and some delicious snacks and handmade bathing products!! So very thoughtful! Our stay there was perfect. The house was clean, bed was super comfortable, and the space had everything you could want. This booking is top notch!"
1305261,33255365,2015-05-26,1245962,Joey,"Robin and Mike's house was absolutely wonderful, and as hosts they were total pros. They are organized, communicative, and overall excellent. I can't recommend the Coop, or the hosts more."
74880,1002515,2012-03-15,303620,Paul,"We had a great time in Austin during SXSW. Nicholas was a great host. His house is located in a quiet neighborhood. Quite a bike ride from the city centre of Austin, even for us Dutchies. Both the rooms in his house are good and Nicholas even arranged some extra beds when we notified him a couple of days in advance that two of our friends were in need of a place to stay as well. Nicholas is a laid-back and kind guy."
74880,1024084,2012-03-20,18460,Aaron,"Nick was a great host. He gave me a quick tour or the house and we chatted for a while. He's a really chill and down to earth guy. Nick had fresh towels and a bike already for me to use if i needed it. I asked him about getting around Austin on a bus and he was very helpful. Bus stops are really close to his house, and it's a great location for SXSW. Far enough so bands don't wake you up, but close enough for a 10-15 mins ride downtown. He also lives in walking distance of some great places  to eat. BIG thanks Nick for everything. "
74880,3844751,2013-03-20,4788254,Alexandra,"Nick is a really nice guy, and he was very helpful to both us and the other girls who were staying in the house during sxsw. The internet was on and off, but he did his best to try and sort it out. The place was a bit further from downtown than we thought, and sometimes it took us an hour to get from there into town, as the buses didn't leave very often. But it was ok. The area felt safe, and there's a big grocery store near by. The house has a nice little garden, and it was nice to have a peaceful place to have a break from all the madness of the festival. We had a good time with Nick, and hope to see him again!"
74880,11817573,2014-04-15,13642711,Nancy,"Not only was Nick super kind to write about me prior my home arrival! He too was super kind! Ready to help , communicative and just an awesome person. Relaxed, spontaneous , polite and helpful. The bed and pillow were super comfortable and use of house. The area was quiet and safe. Although I had my own car it was easy access to public transportation. He offered bike use and pianos! "
74880,12309963,2014-04-28,7741421,Ben,"Nick was a very good host. I chose his place because of the easy access (5-10 minute walk) to UT and city buses, some good independent coffee shops and restaurants, and my favorite taco truck in Austin.

It was a big plus to have the bike to use. Breakfast was simple but good: oatmeal and fruit. The wireless internet wasn't really working, but he let me use his computer to get online (using an ingenious tin can antenna). He has a nice front porch, a good place to sit and relax, read, or do computer work. We had a nice time chatting about music."
74880,13014727,2014-05-17,13459071,Deanna,"Nick was really nice and laid back. The room and bed were both very comfy and there was a projector in the room so you could watch movies on the wall! The wifi didn't work unless you were in this one corner of the room, so that was kind of a bummer, and there wasn't a microwave which wasn't a big deal at all, just a matter of inconvenience for quick food heat up. The location of the spot was great and the usage of the bikes helped me to explore another part of Austin I hadn't really gotten to see. Overall it was a good experience and Nick was a gracious host!"
74880,20914048,2014-10-07,19000707,Jon,"Nick was a great host! His house is in a cozy, quiet and attractive neighborhood (Hyde park), and he truly cares about the people who stay with him. He may even play a few tunes on the piano if you are lucky. It should be prefaced, that the whole point of staying with a local is to have an opportunity to have good company and potential advice about the city during your stay. Nick is a great resource for that. If you are looking for luxury accommodations or to be waited on, then I'm betting you won't be able to book a room anywhere for as cheap as you can stay with Nick. It's modest accommodations as it should be. You get a room, a comfortable bed, towel, and a bathroom right outside the door. What more could you want. The gentleman staying in the other room ( Evan) was equally enjoyable to talk with. Thanks again Nick! I will be back! "
74880,22038447,2014-10-28,14559010,Ryan,"If you're looking for a place with a piano, a dog, and a real easy going kind of vibe, Nick's house is tough to beat. The beds are comfortable, the pianos are in tune, and the dog is always good company. Nick has great local knowledge and is always available to suggest places to go and things to do. I had a great time."
74880,35412367,2015-06-18,34793998,Nikolai,Nick was a great host. I spent a week at his place while visiting friends in Austin. The room I stayed in was set up perfectly when I arrived late in the night. He even has some sweet speakers you can plug your laptop/phone/iPod into. I would definitely recommend Nick's place and look forward to staying there again on my next trip! 
74880,49706466,2015-10-05,14898382,Stefanie,Thanks to Nicholas I had a place stay over the ACL festival for a decent rate. He was already booked and made room for me. You can easily get into town via bus. Everybody in Austin is using LYFT - a good alternative if you don't have your own car. On my last day Nicholas showed me one of his favourite breakfast places. We had a lovely chat and and yummy food. If you're a piano lover you're at the right spot!
5534198,28185506,2015-03-19,11295086,Dave,"Gavin was a fantastic host; easy going, quick to respond, and left us with a great place to stay, even for coworkers. "
5534198,30364276,2015-04-20,26226377,Krystal,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it proved to be an honest, easy-going transaction. I made relatively last minute reservations (24 hrs. before) and Gavin responded quickly to my request. He quickly made arrangements and everything was as described and as seen in the pictures. We followed the recommendation on the Buzz Mill across the street. Good spot, younger crowd. The drive to downtown is simple. The location worked out well for us because we also went other places in Travis County. We did not meet Gavin, but he was responsive to text and phone calls. I found that bringing our own toiletries and other essentials was definitely helpful to be most comfortable.  All in all, it worked out well for our purposes."
5534198,32642346,2015-05-19,33236338,Ashley,Gavins' place was wonderful. He was very accommodating as we made this arrangement  a few days before and was very flexible with  our check in. He left us everything we would need for our weekend there. Great location minutes  from everything. If you are looking to staying in Austin you MUST check out his place!
5534198,32790327,2015-05-21,28932348,Alysa,"The listing was 100% accurate and met my needs for the short stay in Austin. When I had an issue that needed resolution, Gavin was quick to respond and very communicative with me. I would recommend this place to others looking for a stress-free trip and a clean, quiet place just outside of the downtown area. I'd be happy to stay here again someday!"
5534198,37367150,2015-07-06,16280230,Thorin,"Gavin communicated extremely well coordinating our arrival at his apartment,  even though we showed up an hour early The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated.  Toiletries, clean towels, and bedding were provided and Gavin provided some useful tips for places to go and getting around.   

The location was excellent!  Everything was a $5 or cheaper uber ride to 6th st, Rainy Street, and East 6th.  

All and all, a very good airbnb experience.  "
5534198,37684425,2015-07-09,6654275,Danae,"Gavin & Molly's home was everything you saw in the pictures and more! It was really comfortable and the little personalizations throughout the home made it feel even homier. It was nice to have two separate rooms for an added bit of privacy when needed. The beds were comfortable, the futon in the living room is perfect for that mid-day siesta, the wi-fi wasn't glitchy, and the A/C was PERFECT!
Gavin was incredibly nice when we met up with him to get the key. He gave good suggestions of eateries and things to do in the area (which is close to EVERYTHING! SO convenient!) He was available when we needed him at any time. We had a bit of a scary moment when his ceiling was leaking from the A/C, but the situation was taken care of in a quick and professional manner. Even the prop. management folks were really nice! Things happen but it didn't hinder us from having an awesome time. We'll definitely be back again! Thanks for being an awesome host!"
5534198,38168154,2015-07-13,36212159,Neil,"The place was fantastic; Gavin was extremely accommodating and communicative throughout the weekend.  The location was great, the apartment was very clean and I hope to be back soon!"
5534198,48135563,2015-09-23,44280509,Monika,We had a great time in your apartment.
5534198,48796056,2015-09-28,44270925,Trey,"Gavin was very accommodating during my stay, especially for check-in since I wasn't sure what time I would have been arriving in Austin. The apartment was clean and well kept, and Gavin provided extra pillows, bedding, and towels for my guests and me. 

The apartment is in a great spot with plenty of spots to explore, such as Congress Ave, and the ride to 6th Street wasn't very far at all, even with Saturday evening traffic. There's even a Walgreen's within short walking distance if you need to pick anything up for your stay. One of Gavin's recommendations, Buzzmill, is a must stop while you're staying there. Then there's the decor, which was amazing and totally embodies Austin. If you ever get the opportunity, definitely book a stay at Gavin's."
5534198,49677756,2015-10-05,44289605,Carly,"Loved staying at Gavin's place! Location was great, close to downtown and other fun areas in Austin (5-10 min Uber ride everywhere we went.) Everything we needed was there and the place was clean and comfortable. Gavin left us some awesome recommendations on places to check out and responded quickly to any questions. Highly recommended renting this place, we certainly will if we come back to Austin to visit!"

It felt like home. The house is minimalist but has everything you would need to cook, wash and relax. I will be a repeat customer.  "

We didn't have time to, but if you wanted you could totally enjoy relaxing in the gorgeous backyard, or in the modern,  spacious living room. Rohan was a friendly host who has a BEAUTIFUL home. Our room was super clean & comfortable and the shared bathroom was no problem at all. "
5197230,36800241,2015-07-01,14488191,Raymond,"Stayed here for 2 weeks. Rohan is very nice.  His place is clean and is as described in the description.  His house is conveniently located near the highway, which is 15 min away from downtown Austin.  I would definitely recommend his place for a short or long term stay. "

2466517,10911413,2014-03-12,2788862,David,Great location for SXSW!  Heater works well when it is cold outside.  ~10-15 minute walk to downtown.  Thanks!
936377,3784271,2013-03-14,66270,Daniel,"I had a terrific stay at Sean's. Location can't be beat, short walk across the bridge to everything downtown. Sean was very responsive and communicative. I also heard the place is going to be renovated so expect even more modern and updated than the current photos!"
936377,28162746,2015-03-19,8422765,Todd,This was an awesome location for SXSW.  Sean was a great host and was very communicative.  One of my better stays on AirBnB
5240674,27694364,2015-03-09,28626791,Cody,Our experience staying with Hannah was fantastic! She was such a kind; thoughtful host! She even made cookies for us and had eggs and toast waiting for us as breakfast. Beautifully decorated home! Great host! Would definitely stay with Hannah again.
5240674,28149737,2015-03-18,52358,Jesse,"Hannah was so welcoming and kind. We didn't cross paths too frequently but she did share some amazing backyard chicken eggs and some of the tastiest kombucha I've ever hda! Her house is beautiful, full of beautiful antiques and most importantly, has a great energy. The bungalow room felt like my own vacation retreat during an otherwise very hectic SxSw. I would recommend this place to anyone. "
5240674,29958072,2015-04-14,30261554,Akhilesh,"This was a last minute booking. I showed up in Austin without a drivers license. I had initially made a booking without understanding how the public transportation system in Austin worked and ended up 15 miles from downtown with no means whatsoever to travel back and forth without spending a fortune on cab fares. 
I was lucky enough to find this place- great location, minutes away from most of the places downtown. Initially she first checked with me on whether or not i had mistakenly made two bookings on the same day, which i am glad she did because if it was a mistake then i would have been in quite a pickle. I thought that deserves mentioning.
She has an eclectic collection of art - very interesting and very intriguing -  i had a chance to taste my first Pecan - yes a Pecan, not a walnut. 
Anyway - i would recommend this place to anyone - the room was very comfortable. I never got the chance to actually ride about on the bike - but im sure that anyone who does will find it fun.
There's even a park about 10 mins(walk) away. "
5240674,32032721,2015-05-12,22022374,Michelle,"Great sense of details! Felt very at home in this lovely place. Hannah wasn't there unfortunately, I'd love to meet her, so we had the entire house for ourselves. Clean, comfortable, everything we needed and more for a great visit in Austin."
5240674,32649912,2015-05-19,27713842,Teo,Super clean and well looking house. I recommend.
5240674,35986143,2015-06-23,21082054,Caitlin,"This was a wonderful place to stay in Austin. Hannah was incredibly communicative leading up to our arrival and was so welcoming to us even though we arrived quite late in the evening. Her home is beautiful- you can tell it's filled with the objects that she loves and so it has a really positive feel to it. 

The air bnb space is located upstairs so it's fairly private. The room is really calming and the bed is super comfy. 

Hannah's cat, Barley is a gem. She's so friendly and cuddly. Definitely a huge bonus to this spot. 

The neighborhood itself is really great- there are plenty of establishments within walking distance. The cherrywood coffee house was v. good. 

Such a pleasant experience overall. I would definitely recommend!"
5240674,36745153,2015-06-30,27183363,Ree,The space is very nice and stylish. I love the private space we have. 
5240674,40021576,2015-07-27,1630832,Chelsey,"Hannah's home was a wonderful place to spend a weekend. We didn't use the common space aside from the washroom, but it was an adorable place. 

Extra room was a good size with great natural light. "
5240674,42005122,2015-08-10,38555942,Matt,"Great place to chill and cool down during the heat of the day ! Everything you need for a great stay in Austin , missing cuddles from the cat ;) "
5240674,44356317,2015-08-25,11217153,Rachel,"Hannahs place is incredible. Really beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. Such a relaxing and welcoming place to stay. Great location with plenty of dining, drinking locations near by. Hannah was super helpful giving tips on where to go/what to do and really knows what the city has to offer. Staying in such an awesome space with someone as delightful as Hannah made for such a great experience in Austin.  We were also lucky enough to savour Hannahs baking skills and had delicious chocolate cake to take for our flight! All things considered, I cannot recommend this place enough!"
5240674,46046397,2015-09-07,41772050,Matt,"Hannah has a wonderful home that was so welcoming.

We'll definitely be back!"
5240674,47187875,2015-09-16,28255304,Caitlin,Hannah created such a welcoming environment and oasis away from New York! I didn't get to meet Hannah but she offered local kombucha that was in the fridge - nice touch. I really enjoyed staying here. The neighborhood was in a good location about 10 minutes from downtown and within walking distance to a few restaurants/coffee shops. 
5240674,48480224,2015-09-26,44802441,Juan,"Fue excelente! Pensamos que Hanna era diseñadora o algo parecido porque la casa esta decorada de una manera impecable, con gran estilo y muy hogareña. El cuarto en donde nos quedamos tenia privacidad y era muy acogedor. No tengo ninguna queja, nos dio todo lo necesario y fue muy amigable las veces que nos encontramos con ella. El barrio muy tranquilo y encontramos lugares agradables cerca. "

All and all: 10/10 would visit again. "
5240674,51704813,2015-10-24,24495538,Laura,We had an awesome time staying at Hannah's.  The house was clean and just as portrayed in the listing.  The back room was very quiet and comfortable (the perfect spot for a post afternoon-margarita nap.)  Hannah was a pleasure to get to know a bit and had great recommendations for spots around the city.  We will definitely try to stay here again next time we visit Austin!
7678822,49673508,2015-10-05,6288043,Maegan,Everything that was stated on the description was accurate and the house was beautiful. Katie did a great job with making us feel welcome! I would definitely stay at this home again the next time I am in Austin.
4821514,28209231,2015-03-20,27165479,Matt,"I brought a small group of college students to SXSW and we stayed at this property for our time in Austin. It was a great experience. The property was a short distance from downtown (we used bus and uber),  and there were good places to eat along South Lamar and South Congress. 

The house was, in our opinion, nicer than the photos suggested and quite comfortable. The house was clean and easy to feel at home. Erin was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. Light switches were labeled, rooms were well appointed, and Erin even had snacks in the kitchen. The door was on a combination lock, so it made it easy for us to come and go, without worrying about key swapping or safety. I've done Airbnb several times and this was the best experience. 

Highly recommended!"
4821514,32519799,2015-05-19,30164867,Kimberly,"I cannot say enough great things about Erin and her house!  We felt so welcome from the minute we stepped through the front door.  She really touched this mama's heart by having selected a few special goodies for my kids, and had them waiting on the kitchen counter for them (and goodies for the adults too!).  The house is even more lovely in person than in the pictures, and we were all impressed with the high end finishes.  The beds and linens were extremely comfortable, tons of extra towels...even blankets on the back patio if you got chilly while enjoying the AMAZING backyard.  The location could not be more perfect for exploring Austin.  We were an easy drive to every activity we had planned.  You can even walk to restaurants and grocery stores.  Definitely a 5 star stay.  Thank you Erin!!!!!!"
4821514,33367447,2015-05-27,30226412,Keith,We spent 4 nights at this house and it was perfect. Erin really made us feel at home. We couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome or a better house. Plenty of things to do within walking distance and a close drive to down town. Would recommend to anybody in the future!!!!
4821514,51283888,2015-10-19,41499850,Daniel,"My family traveled to Austin for an October wedding, and we had the best experience staying in Erin's beautiful home. 

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a clean home and a bowl of delicious snacks--which were great after the long drive! Erin's house was comfortable and inviting, and it had all of the conveniences that a person could reasonably expect, including TONS of fresh towels. The air-mattress in the extra-room meant that everyone in our party could find a comfortable and private spot. 

Our favorite part was the big, BEAUTIFUL backyard! We never able to use the fire pit, but the patio provided a great spot for a quiet morning-coffee. There's a comfy hammock and a big picnic table too, which might provide a good spot for kids to eat. 

The neighborhood was on a quiet street away from the downtown-bustle. Still, all of the wedding-spots that we traveled to (Central & East Austin) were within an easy 10-minute drive. The location was perfect. 

Erin was a great host, too. She was very communicative in the weeks leading up to our visit, and she was helpful throughout. This was such a great weekend, and I would absolutely suggest this spot to friends making the trip down to Austin. Thanks, Erin! "
2459034,12570230,2014-05-05,14370055,Mark,"We had a great stay! The house was clean and ready to go upon our arrival.
The house has an electronic keypad lock system, so its easy to get in and out of.

I felt like it was in a quiet/safe neighborhood and had no qualms about parking on the street or anything. The house did had a few small maintenance issues, but other than that it worked out perfect for us!
"
2459034,20817510,2014-10-06,6693530,Sarah,"The host was gracious to give my parents an early check in and late check out. 

Upon arrival the residence hadn't been cleaned. It was dirty. It smelled of cigarette smoke and incense. My parents opted to sleep in recliners the first night because the beds were dirty and unmade. The host sent house cleaners the next morning. They cleaned the place well. The host also refunded the cleaning fee and $150 of the first night. 

Other than above, the house was as the posting described. "
2459034,28261698,2015-03-21,5027256,Dan,Erica's house was exactly as described and the perfect relaxing home base while in Austin for a music festival. We were all very comfortable and enjoyed all of the house's many amenities. 
2702956,12195384,2014-04-25,13465546,Desean,Angel was very communicative throughout the whole experience. She responded quickly to any questions I had. The house is a quick cab ride to downtown and a short distance to many shops on the Eastside. If you don't have a car then you could borrow one of Angel's bikes to access these stores. The house itself is decorated well and has plenty of space. It even had a gas-fired stove. I'd definitely come back when I'm in town.
2702956,12305514,2014-04-28,14062544,Tim,"What a great place.  Loved it.
Angel was very helpful and responsive.  Although I didn't meet her, she was quick to answer questions by text / email.
The place is nice, recently refurbished by the look of it, and bright and clean though out, including a spotless bathroom.  No complaints really.
The neighbourhood is quiet - it is walking distance to the eateries and bars on E6th and E7th streets, so long as you like walking (I do).  I'm happy enough walking around at night, but some of the roads on the way to / from the nightlife areas are not so nice and some people might not feel comfortable.  The bungalow itself seems to be in a safe area though, didn't see any problems.
Had a nice stay and would definitely think of staying there again."
2702956,12445324,2014-05-02,7380263,Faith,"Such a supercool stay. Angel made booking and hosting so seamless. All positive vibes here and the loveliest details throughout the space surprise you each day. It really gets cozy, you can even do your laundry. The patio was my alltimefavorite part: the scene is so much fun and perfect for austin evenings. Clean and well-equipped. 
So, so great. Would stay again in a heartbeat! Thanks Angel! "
2702956,12627252,2014-05-06,13832152,Allison,"The Xeriscape was the ideal spot to stay in Austin. Whether you are flying solo or planning a group adventure, you will find everything you need. The house was easy to find, had a parking spot, included plenty of places to sleep, kitchen supplies, incredible decor and colors, and best of all an outdoor shower!!! If you are in search of authentic Austin feeling and flair I would highly recommend Xeriscape! 

"
2702956,12980430,2014-05-16,13837809,Ellice,"Amazing stay, great location, wonderful host and the cutest pad in Austin. Highly reccomend !! "
2702956,14081948,2014-06-11,13106864,Sarah,Angel is a great host! She gave us great recommendations on places to explore in Austin and was very helpful with any questions we had about the city or the house. The house was absolutely adorable and very clean. I really enjoyed my stay here!
2702956,14216277,2014-06-14,872239,Ramiro,"I lived in Austin for five years, so I can tell you that this is an excellent location in a safe neighborhood. 

As to the unit itself, it was beautifully decorated, and in immaculate shape. The weather was bad when I was visiting, but the large deck outback would be a great spot to hang out, talk with friends and enjoy a drink. 

Highly recommend this property. "
2702956,14430124,2014-06-19,14247195,Jennifer,"Angel was very prompt in replying to my reservation request and keeping in touch with me up to the reservation date. She was very pleasant and provided a very detailed list of how to obtain the key, where to park, what to do when checking out etc. It was nice that the key was accessible on the property and we did not have to wait for anyone or meet anyone to gain access to the house or to check out. The place was very clean and exactly like the photos. It is a very very cute place. There were supplies in the kitchen (dishes) and in the bathroom, which was very nice. The only thing I wanted to mention was that there was no television, which is definitely not a necessity, but sometimes when coming back to the house at night it would have been nice to sit down and  turn on the tv for some mind numbing activity rather than staring at each other in silence because we had nothing to talk about and had been together all day. I honestly do not remember if this was mentioned the description of the house but only took notice of it when my sister and I returned one evening and were sitting around in silence. Not a big deal at all just something to be aware of. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again."
2702956,14500082,2014-06-20,17008879,Spencer,The reservation was canceled 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

She gave us awesome suggestions on places to go. The place we stayed at was great. It looked exactly how it did in the pics. Clean, eclectic and my friends and I felt right at home staying there. Easy cab rides to wherever we wanted to go :) Definitely had a fun time and enjoyed our experience at the Bungalow! Thanks Angel! "

2702956,15401350,2014-07-08,15132639,Keller,"My experience at this place was fantastic. Angel was so nice and the house was incredibly cute, colorful, well-designed, and exactly what I hoped for from the photography. Really cozy little Austin home!"
2702956,15751257,2014-07-15,13288245,Kyungsoo,"The house is clean and cute.
There are microwave, oven , washer, dry machine.
and parking is enough to mini van.
Near the house , there is a good park to walking.
Angel is very kind and friendly.
If i go to Austin again , i will stay Angel's house."
2702956,16456806,2014-07-28,3610255,Carol,"The house that Angel provided us was awesome!She responds super fast and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend this house. We used Angel's bikes and rode around the neighborhood and found some cute coffee places, food trucks and bars. The bike lanes were easy to use and my bf and I rode to UT-Austin without any issues. Smooth ride! The patio and decor in her place is an added bonus :) Stay here in East Austin!! "
2702956,16962884,2014-08-04,16641940,Genesis,"Angels place was adorable I seriously wanted to just live there! I reserved it for my mom and step dad for the weekend they loved it, my sister and I swung by the first night and definitely plan on staying there again during any Austin trip we plan in the future. Angel is great at communicating quickly everything was clean, look forward to renting out her other locations as well in the future because I'm sure all of them are fantastic!"
2702956,17081302,2014-08-06,3674706,Wilhelm,"We had a great stay at Xeriscape! The house has everything you need, and also a nice little patio in the back, perfect for hanging out in the evening!"
2702956,17824336,2014-08-18,15494510,Grant,"Angel made us feel welcome from the time we made our reservation. She was available to answer questions and was willing to meet us or not, as we preferred. We did get the chance to meet her and she was as gracious in person as she was in her emails. The cottage was charming, so much nicer than a hotel would have been for a week's stay. It felt more like coming home than going to a rented room. Because there is a kitchen, we were able to save money making some of our own meals. We met the delightful couple that was staying in the camper out back and visited with them several times while we were there. The area this cottage is in is undergoing regentrification, so there were older homes as well as new construction.I felt safe going out for a walk. It was convenient to a grocery store as well as the airport while still getting the cultural vibe of Austin. It wasn't far from restaurants, downtown or the university - probably wouldn't have wanted to walk, but it was just a short drive. If/when we visit Austin again, we will seriously consider staying at this darling bungalow.   "
2702956,18095683,2014-08-21,11726086,Kendra,Amazing stay in this darling bungalow. Angel was a great host. Wish we had time to stay longer. We will book future Austin trips here and put the kids in the camper out back :)
2702956,18465987,2014-08-27,1093467,Charlotte,"Angel ´s place is really cool! Love the decoration, the colors.. It´s pretty like in the pictures. We spend 3 fantastics nights and we recommand the place. 
Angel was easy to communicate with and she  gives us  all the informations to spend a nice moments in Austin "
2702956,18784705,2014-09-01,14556367,William,"The house was wonderful and comfortably slept 5 people. Great BBQ down the street, convenient location. "
2702956,19136368,2014-09-07,5348197,Robby,"Angel was great - she was very quick to respond when we had questions, super helpful, and the house was perfect. It's not a large house, but because of the clever layout and use of space, we (5 of us) were super comfortable sharing the house. The design, as you can see from the photos, is fantastic - we loved coming back to the house at the end of long days, and waking up there in the morning. Highly recommended!"
2702956,19452291,2014-09-12,21052438,Andrew,"The location was convenient, the place had some creative, fun features and my host Angel was very helpful."
2702956,19744085,2014-09-17,20619563,Bryan,Angel was very accommodating and the house is adorable. Convenient location and a great neighborhood to explore. 
2702956,20152032,2014-09-24,20126032,Gaby,"We had a wonderful time in this cute bungalow! The locations was excellent. One thing to point out is that they curtains are very thin so there's a lot of natural light that comes in very early in the morning. For some people this may not be an issue, though! Also, don't make my mistake of thinking this was a 3 bedroom house. It's a 1 bedroom house with an open space living room area and there is another bed in there. I was confused that the price said $125 for 3 rooms/2 bathrooms. It should say $125 for 2 rooms/1 bathroom with the option of renting the camper for $65 extra (The 3rd room and 2nd bathroom). Overall, we really loved it and would highly recommend it!"
2702956,20270200,2014-09-26,1978111,Nuran,"Clean, quiet, parking spot, washer/dryer, cool lockbox idea to not worry about losing key!"

2702956,20811120,2014-10-06,6202887,Molly,"This was a very cute place that was perfect for our Austin City Limits stay. There a lot of thoughtful, creative details in the decor. Everything was very clean. Angel provided us with useful area information before we arrived and even had some Lonestar and snacks waiting for us. The location was wonderful... Coffee and food were just around the corner. The neighborhood was very eclectic. The only problem we had during our stay was a broken futon, which meant one of our travelers slept a little uncomfortably on the couch. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would all recommend this location for your Austin stay. "
2702956,21034520,2014-10-10,3726088,J.T.,"Super cute and clean house. Easy access to doDowntown and bus routes, and cool spots in East Austin. Highly recommend. Though if you're looking for a 3 bdrm, you may want to clarifying sleeping arrangements with host. Angel is great and very responsive. "
2702956,21124091,2014-10-12,18261546,Sof,We had a lot of fun and loved the house. Just what we needed. 
2702956,21332106,2014-10-15,837369,Sam,"Angel's place is beautiful, perfect for the five of us traveling to Austin for a couple of days. The location is great and Angel is an excellent host. My personal tip is to try the outside shower if the weather is warm - it was awesome! Our only regrets were that we couldn't stay longer. Thanks Angel!"
2702956,21657603,2014-10-21,15024295,Jamie,"One word: awesome! My colleagues and I stayed at the bungalow while attending a comference. It was a perfect location- a few minutes from the conference and all of the action, but without as much traffic. The kitchen is fully stocked with serving sets, pots, pans, utensils, cups, coffee maker, and various other necessities and non-necessities,  there were plenty of linens and towels, lots of close space for suits and the like, adequate seating, an awesome shared porch (unless you are renting the camper too- then it is all yours), and basically anything you would want in a vacation getaway/conference retreat. 

Angel was an awesome host. From the onset, she was communicative and responsive. She was also very flexible about our arrival time. Her bungalow was very well kempt and ""super cute"" (a favorite descriptor of my colleagues for the place). Angel made herself available if we needed anything and checked in once during our stay to make sure all was well. An added bonus is that Angel has a lot of knowledge of Austin's great places to eat, drink, shop, and hang out--she has marked a ton of favorites on the AirBnB map for the folks who stay in the bungalow. And seriously, check some of these places out while there! 

Angel's bungalow is definitely staying on my places to stay in Austin, and is on my colleagues' lists as well. The folks I stayed with enjoyed their stays a great deal and the bungalow still comes up in conversation a week later. It was their first AirBnB experience and it was an excellent one- I foresee plenty of AirBnB stays in their futures thanks to Angel's being an awesome host and creating an awesome space that is perfect for vacationing and business alike! 

Many thanks again to Angel for the relaxing space to return to after long days at a conference."
2702956,22013736,2014-10-28,18115679,Nicola,Super cute bungalow. We rented the camper trailer one of the nights during our stay. The host was very accommodating and helpful. 
2702956,22221201,2014-11-01,42326018,Clayton,"Great host and terrific place. Instructions on how to get in and use all the amenities were easy to follow. This house exceeded expectations, will defiantly be booking any time I'm in Austin.  "
2702956,22411973,2014-11-05,5715483,Brandon,"Great experience with this property. The house was clean, as described, and decorated well. Angel was a great host, and was nice enough to let me back in when I was locked out. Would definitely stay here again. "
2702956,22690060,2014-11-11,897672,Carline,"It is no accident that Angel is a super host. We booked her place very last minute due to a previous airbnb mishap and she was quick to respond. This is my second stay in one of Angel's homes. They are adorable, clean, and full of amenities-- a true home away from home. It was a bit cold in the evening so the central heater was much appreciated! "
2702956,22881063,2014-11-17,16592867,Jessica,"My sister, brother-in-law and I just got back from Angel's bungalow and we had a great time. It was exactly as described, and since we arrived on the coldest weekend of the year, the central heat was a blessing! We appreciated the cleanliness of the house, and it was nice to have a ""home base"" that wasn't too far from downtown or restaurants. We probably would have walked more were it not for the cold weather. Shower worked great, and everything was fantastic. Angel was also EXTREMELY flexible on our check out when our flight was significantly delayed. Thank you so much for that! 
I would definitely recommend this space and stay here again when I next visit Austin! "
2702956,23119220,2014-11-23,14514766,Ditte,"Great location, close to everything. Beautifully decorated and the trailer was awesome! Thanks so much! Would recommend."
2702956,24284942,2014-12-24,17786568,Claire,Our stay at xeriscape was great! It was a perfect jumping off point for hanging out in East Austin. Thanks so much!
2702956,24503453,2014-12-29,5530871,Jason & Shannon,"My wife and I stayed for 4 days over Christmas, house has easy to get to location on Eastside of town. Neighborhood was pretty quite , close to attractions on  6th ave, Downtown, and Congress St. House meet all our needs and Angel was quick to respond and easy to deal with. Would rent again in the future. "
2702956,25456789,2015-01-16,16932790,Kelsi,"We loved our stay at the Xeriscape Bungalow! The house is just as cool as it looks in the pictures. It's very clean and has all of the essentials you'll need during your stay. The weather was gross one of the days we were in Austin, and we loved hanging out at the house all day! One word of advice: if you're a light sleeper, sleep in the back bedroom. The house sits right on a somewhat busy road, and it can get noisy in the front room. No complaints though! We'd definitely stay here again. "
2702956,25624634,2015-01-20,23820113,Laurene,Amazing experience. Angel has done a fantastic job with the place and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Very quirky and cute! Thanks!
2702956,25756738,2015-01-25,25614054,Sarah,"Angel was outstanding at communication, and more than generous and professional. This was our first Airbnb experience, and we were unsure of what we were supposed to be doing, but Angel gave great instructions and made everything extremely convenient. She was even kind enough to let us house our luggage after check out time so that we didn't have to tote it around with us.
The house and the camping trailer were so cute and cozy. We were comfortable, it was quiet in the evenings, and it was a short Lyft ride to a lot of great areas for food and bars.
"
2702956,25917586,2015-01-29,26314170,Laura,"My friends and I had a great time at Angel's hip and charming home. The space was open and stylish, and accommodated four people nicely. Thoughtful touches like tea, coffee, and an array of toiletries (I was especially impressed with the nail polish remover. Saved me a trip to Walgreen's!) really helped us to settle in easily. Parking in the driveway was super convenient, and the closed in back porch was a nice place to unwind and catch up with old friends. We were a little late on checking out (whoops) and ended up getting to meet Angel; she was laid back and genuinely interested in the quality of our stay. The only thing I would want to change is having a hotter shower, but we spoke to Angel about this and she has a game plan to get it taken care of for her future guests. Overall, I would definitely stay here again."
2702956,26251195,2015-02-08,24857135,Kate,We recently booked the Bungalow for a girls weekend in Austin - a Bachelorette Party of 9. The home was more than comfortable for our large party! We also rented the darling trailor in the back... it is so cute and the extra sleeping space came in handy! We wanted a very Austin experience and this place was more than perfect! We were close to great food (ate at the Salty Sow and it was amazing!) & only an Uber ride away from 4th Street shenanigans. The home is decorated so cute! Everything you could possibly need was there. Angel was fantastic to work with! She was quick to respond and provided all the information we would need for a fun weekend away! I would absolutely recommend this Bungalow and hope to rent it again soon. Cheers!
2702956,26596629,2015-02-16,1507947,Phil,"Xeriscape has great personality, is well kept, and comfortable. All the downtown goodness is a quick drive away, but there's also plenty of fun stuff in East Austin (check out Angel's very useful map). The wifi was on point and parking is a breeze. Angel's a great host … on top of all the details."
2702956,26819582,2015-02-20,4912473,Kristen,"Angel is a very quick communicator, which was a big help when our arrival time changed twice because we couldn't escape the icy tundra of Boston. Also, her property was adorable, clean and exactly as pictured - immaculate design and decor! We liked being a little off the beaten path as well. 12th street had more car noise than we expected, but as 14-year city dwellers it wasn't a big deal, just something to be aware of if you are sensitive to noise. "
2702956,27424983,2015-03-04,4810296,Dana,"This was one of the best airbnb experiences I have had yet!  The place was homey, awesomely decorated and in a great location!  Thanks Angel!"

Angel responded very quickly and helped me with any questions I had about the place. Convenient spot close to downtown & a cheap cab ride away from lots of great nightlife! "
2702956,27798126,2015-03-12,5760523,Marcos,A house done up in true Austin style! The house was very clean and comfortable.
2702956,27928536,2015-03-15,13787905,Betsy,"Angel's house was exactly as described--clean, adorable, and plenty of room for my group of 8 girls.  The neighborhood is great, and her list of restaurant and bar recommendations was very helpful.  She was very responsive and attentive.  I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a fun and hip place to stay with friends or family."
2702956,28295837,2015-03-22,1242950,Nikki,Angel was awesome to communicate with. Her place was absolutely charming and the team loved it! Would definitely recommend a stay at her place:)

We also really liked the neighborhood, lots of great bars and restaurants very close by. Angels neighborhood recs are great and we discovered plenty of other places we really liked too. Definitely a fun place to stay in Austin."
2702956,29818882,2015-04-13,2086852,Kim,Angel was really attentive and a delight to deal with.  Her home was in really convenient part of Austin for us.
2702956,30098441,2015-04-17,20727881,Aaron,"Angel's house was fantastic!
It was very tidy and welcoming and had the grooviest furniture!
I would highly recommend this house to anyone traveling tin the Austin area. It is a short cab ride to downtown.  "
2702956,30190728,2015-04-19,26761018,Alison,"We really enjoyed staying at this cute home and camper on the east side. It is listed as a 2 bedroom home but it is actually only a 1 bedroom, so the listing is misleading. The 2nd bathroom is located outside in a renovated shed next to the camper. The host was easily accessible. "
2702956,30620406,2015-04-25,5201945,Anni,the house was cute...a little small but nicely (email hidden)d the trailor was really sweet
2702956,30953138,2015-04-29,16289749,Chris,"The Xeriscape Bungalow was exactly what we thought it would be. Eclectic, quaint, comfy and convenient. After spending the day exploring Austin, coming back to a quiet home and a relaxing patio was a perfect way to end the evening. Thanks again to Angel who made the check in/check out process very easy and her quick response to any questions we had was much appreciated. We would definitely stay at the Xeriscape Bungalow again!"
2702956,31081721,2015-05-01,31145462,Jake,"This is my favorite place I've stayed so far. It's spacious, has incredible character, and it's in a great location. Angel was quick to respond and made checking in/checking out so easy. Honestly, we wish would could have stayed longer. We came to Austin a few days early for a wedding. Had we not been with the wedding party staying in a hotel, we would have stayed in Angel's East Austin bungalow our entire stay. I highly recommend you stay here and we will definitely be back!"
2702956,31258746,2015-05-03,6261225,Steve,Had a great stay in Austin. The house was great and our host Angel was really friendly and easy to communicate with. 
2702956,31897401,2015-05-11,1411051,Alexa,"Photos were very accurate, very awesome design work! We loved the backyard patio, super cute and a great place to chill before the night out & in the morning. We took Ubers to east 6th to hit up the bar and food scene, it isn't walkable. We did walk about 15 minutes to a Mexican restaurant that had awesome quesadillas and margaritas. There is also a little corner store and bar a few blocks away. Bathroom is stocked with all the supplies you might need! Coffee she left for us was really good! Enjoyed our stay :) "
2702956,33236950,2015-05-26,2064395,Peter,"Angel was a delight to book with, and the house was outstanding!! Line of my housemates said ""this house is one big Pinterest post!"" and she wasn't kidding; it's the most adorable little house I've seen. (The ""happy"" camper, my room, was perfect.) Great outdoor space, and very comfy inside. (The outdoor shower is great!) So happy to stay here, looking forward to coming back!

We were 8 people, so it was very cozy in there, but if you couple-up in the 3 large beds it's totally doable! "
2702956,33553405,2015-05-29,30982367,Craig,"The bungalow was adorable and brightly colored, organized, and clean. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy yourself. Furniture was plentiful and it has a kitchen with laundry appliances if you need them. A+ would stay here again!"
2702956,34340507,2015-06-07,33776514,Ashleigh,"Great location, super cute house and affordable. We had 6 guests with us and the house for everyone comfortably including the airstream out back."
2702956,34742824,2015-06-11,13107482,Fritz,This house was beautiful and great for our needs. Wonderful design and great outdoor area to hang out in. We especially liked the refurbished camper and the outdoor shower area. Really a perfect home base for any trip to Austin. 
2702956,35265411,2015-06-16,13751931,Adam & Sarah,"We had a brilliant stay at Angels property, such a wonderful house in a great part of town.. Just the local Austin experience we were hoping for. Thanks! "
2702956,35441117,2015-06-18,11551176,Erica,"Great stay in East Austin.  Angel's house was super cute and had everything we needed.  Price was right, much cheaper than a hotel and we'd definitely stay again.  Thanks!"
2702956,36108776,2015-06-25,25149814,Bethany,"Very cute space in East Austin! Since it's right on a main street it can be a bit noisy, but if that doesn't bother you then this is a great East Austin gem! "
2702956,37137366,2015-07-05,17832411,Scarlet,We had a great experience at Angel's home. It was so cute and comfortable. The outdoor shower was pretty awesome along with the camper. We enjoyed our stay and Angel made the experience great with all of her accommodations in the house & for exploring Austin. 
2702956,37721588,2015-07-09,37609660,Jennera,"The neighborhood is everything you expect from the East side. We were close to numerous restaurants, bars, and shops. Angel was a wonderful hostess. She was very thorough and detailed. (She even left a list of places to go and things to do). The house was absolutely darling! The front room faces 12th, so it can be a bit noisy. If you are a light sleeper, like me, bring some ear plugs. We travel with them, so we slept well. "
2702956,37856295,2015-07-11,18198709,Kara,Angel's xeriscape was the perfect spot for our group of 5. The airstream was comfortable and deceptively spacious and though skeptical at first-- the outdoor shower was the best. The back patio/quiet enclosure definitely sealed the deal and it was the perfect place to have a cup of coffee in the morning or beers before going out! 
2702956,39853661,2015-07-26,856670,Ciarán,Angel was great and fast in communicating. The space was exactly as described - we liked it a lot. There are a few cool music bars just a short walk away; the rest is just a short Uber! 
2702956,40709084,2015-08-02,27671104,Lisa,We rented Angel's house and camper for a bachelorette party and had an awesome time! The house is adorable and we loved the retro/vintage/shabby chic vibe! Angel was AWESOME - super communicative and helpful. She was a very accommodating host! I would hire recommend this house for a girl bash - you won't regret it! 
2702956,41812878,2015-08-09,4205569,Cory,"AWESOME stay here!  Angel's home was smartly decorated, spacious, clean, and had everything we needed.  Check-in was easy.  Easy to find.  Most of all it's just a COOL place to hangout.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
2702956,42069271,2015-08-10,7980068,Adrienne,Angel was kind enough to let me and a friend stay just for one night. We were coming in town to attend The Do-Over's 10-year anniversary party at The Scoot Inn and it was not far from the house at all. Perfect location and cutest little house. She was easy to communicate with and I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin. 
2702956,42632737,2015-08-14,32684081,J.D.,Gorgeous and unique bungalow in a super cool neighborhood. Angel was very helpful and we had a lovely time. 
2702956,43587806,2015-08-20,29068121,Nicole,"Perfect location. This beautiful bright house was perfect for our stay in Austin, it had plenty of space, amenities and the cutest outdoor patio ever! The Internet and air con was awesome to say the least. Loved this place!"
2702956,44178874,2015-08-24,5899597,Zack,We had a great time at Angel's. The place was clean and as pictured. Perfect spot for our group!
2702956,46026299,2015-09-07,42047200,Matt,Angel was great to work with! This was my first AirBnB so I wasn't sure how much contact I need to make or she would make. She sent a very detailed list of resources to use to figure out what to do in Austin which was cool. The house was clean and ready to be used. All 7 of use fit comfortably and the trailer was really cool!
2702956,46437847,2015-09-10,2961708,Joe,"This place was perfect. Really cute decor, just as described, very spacious actually! She was excellent in communicating, would definitely stay here again! "
2702956,47331259,2015-09-17,13777085,Callum Robilliard,Angels house is lovely. A secret in amongst a beautiful city. Highly recommended and an unbelievably patient and helpful person too. A tiny bit of Texas magic
2702956,47650835,2015-09-21,27924194,Audrey,Had a wonderful stay at Angel's Bungalow over the weekend! Great little house with plenty of beds for our 7 people bachelorette party. The amenities were great. Everything seemed pretty clean and well kept. The camper and shower/bathroom in the backyard was a great addition for our party. So cute and festive! Love all the decor. The beds were ok. They were a little firm for our liking but it was overall a great stay and I highly recommend! Angel was very helpful and gave good instructions! 
2702956,51109229,2015-10-18,2987917,Kate,Angel was very helpful and had responded promptly. We loved her little bungalow and the Neighbourhood Guide was useful. Only downside was not knowing the bungalow was on a very noisy street. Sleeping in the main room was difficult due to noise levels and sheer curtains. 
2702956,51727375,2015-10-24,6940430,Rike,"We had a great time at Angel’s cute place. Our little daughter loved it too and as soon as we had to leave, she said, that she wants to go back to the ""green"" house.
It was clean, spacious and we loved the patio. Angel was easy to communicate with. As mentioned before, the only minor downside was, that the house is located next to a busy street."
2702956,52679195,2015-11-01,14100112,Katie,This location was very central and convenient to all of downtown Austin.  The place was nicely decorated and very cute. We traveled in a group of 30 for a wedding and rented 4 houses. This one was cute but the beds were not as comfortable as the rest. Angel was a pleasure to work with and accomodated us in all aspects during our trip. Thanks for having us! 
2702956,53236264,2015-11-06,48202216,Danny,"I travel for work and ran into a bit of an issue when upon arriving in Austin late on a Wednesday I quickly began to realize that there were no available hotel rooms to be had. I had called 7 different hotels and had come up empty. Tired and running up against a deadline to return my rental car I came across Angel's listing. I contacted her through the website and seconds later she responded with a confirmation (this was particularly amazing because it was already after 9pm) 
Her place was close to downtown in an up and coming neighborhood that seems to be going through a transition which will likely make it the hip new area over the next few years. Angel's place was very cool and had everything I needed, including an ironing board and the ever so necessary morning coffee (choice of drip or French press....I went with French press) 
For the cost of a midgrade hotel room I received a 2 bedroom bungalow with a cool xeriscape patio complete with a camper, outdoor shower(don't worry there is a fully functional indoor shower as well), patio table and chairs (ambient Christmas lights included) 
Angel was not in anyway intrusive. 
I loved that there was not a tv to distract me from my work or lull me into a complacency that could have prevented me from exploring the awesomeness that is Austin. 
Thanks Angel you  saved me from a potentially harrowing kerfuffle. 

-Danny"
7005164,37120312,2015-07-04,7780806,Mark,We had a very pleasant experience! Beautiful and brand new modern place. Immaculately clean. Very close walking distance to 6th Street. 5 stars!
7005164,37273976,2015-07-05,18353137,Tiffany,"Meaghan was great with communication and we throughly enjoyed staying at their beautiful house. As former Austinites, we can attest to the great location that they are in. "
7005164,38063788,2015-07-12,18200845,Raymond,"This was, hands down, the most rewarding AirBnb I've ever experienced.

From the get-go, I felt like I was an old friend visiting from out of town.

The home itself? 

Flawless. 

Seriously... it's only been 48 hours since I've left, and I already want to go back.

Meaghan was super helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Never once did I feel uncomfortable or unwelcome -- quite the opposite actually! I was treated just like family.

And if you're looking to explore Austin, you best believe you're covered on that front, too. Franklins, the #1 BBQ joint in the world is right down the street (once you book this airbnb, be sure to ask Meaghan about her ""secret trick"" to avoiding the 4-6 hours lines!)

Uber rides downtown are just $5. If you want insights on where to hangout, Meaghan will help you out with that, too. 

I cannot recommend this location highly enough.

It was pure luck that I happened to choose this AirBnB... and I'm so glad I did. It turns out myself and AJ and Meaghan had several friends in common -- imagine that! (If you're into entrepreneurship, Internet marketing, or running your own business, you'll fit right in.)

I wouldn't be surprised if this listing got snatched up by the time you read this -- and you should consider yourself lucky if it isn't.

Because if this location is available right now... the best thing you can do for yourself today is to reserve as soon as possible.

You won't regret it. :)"
7005164,38679639,2015-07-17,11192790,Clem,"Meaghan is an absolute perfect hostess ! Warm, welcoming and so helpful with advice about Austin. Her home is impeccably clean and super central to everything you need . Can't recommend staying here enough !"
7005164,38914275,2015-07-19,37622074,Chuck,"This was our first time using Airbnb and we had an excellent experience. The room lived up to the description. The entire place was super clean, the parking was simple and the room was quiet, especially considering it was so close to downtown. Next time we use Airbnb in Austin, we plan to use the same place. "
7005164,39139872,2015-07-20,5174194,Cherokee,AJ and Meaghan have a beautiful home and we really enjoyed our stay. The home is in a great location and I would highly recommend staying at their place 
7005164,39819672,2015-07-26,37711158,Kyle,"Awesome hosts and BEAUTIFUL home, excellently located in a prime location!  Every suggestion for food and entertainment was a home run! Genuinely great and generous people! "
7005164,40050241,2015-07-27,39274237,Glory,AJ & Meaghan were wonderful! The home was beautiful! I would definitely book again! 3
7005164,40176647,2015-07-28,2438476,Jordy,AJ was a great host...I would definitely stay here again!
7005164,40299630,2015-07-29,9792653,James,House was awesome and super clean. AJ was very helpful. I would stay here again.
7005164,40401155,2015-07-30,7248258,Kirsty,AJ & Meaghan have a wonderful home in downtown Austin. We arrived quite late and only stayed one night but their place was perfect. It is walking distance to all the cool restaurants and bars and they both gave us great suggestions for dinner/drinks and breakfast the next day. They also watched our dog for us whilst we were out which was awesome! The room and whole place is so calming and clean- exactly what we needed after 10hrs on the road. Thank you for an awesome stay! 
7005164,40679757,2015-08-01,39070246,Devin,We had a very pleasant experience! Beautiful and brand new modern place. Immaculately clean. Very close to everything.
7005164,40810210,2015-08-02,20969512,Alyssa,"Staying at AJ & Meaghan's was great. MY friend and I felt welcomed the minute we arrived and loved staying here for the night. 

The house is beautiful and impeccably clean. The guest room is a good size and the bed is very comfortable. I slept better here than I have in most of the airbnbs I have stayed at. 

The location of the home is perfect for anyone wanting to visit Downtown Austin. We spent $5 to uber to a restaurant during the day and were able to walk back in the evening. I visit Austin several times a year and would definitely stay here again!"
7005164,41510759,2015-08-07,34211306,Mari,Lovely room in a very modern house. Hosts had thought of everything we might need and house was conveniently located near downtown area.
7005164,41994453,2015-08-10,36476564,Vala,AJ and Meaghan were the BEST hosts. They were super accommodating to our last minute extra guest and their place is also gorgeous and looks exactly like the pictures. They were always willing to give us tips on where to go and you can't beat the location of their house. I don't think our trip to Austin would have been as great had we stayed anywhere else and would highly recommend staying here to anyone that's coming to Austin!
7005164,42447671,2015-08-13,3417961,Yvonne,"Hosts were very welcoming and informative.  Loved the room and bathroom; very nice, new, and clean."
7005164,42579262,2015-08-14,39087056,Denglin,"Very highly recommended. The whole place is a very very new and modern home, nicely decorated. The room is very clean and comfortable. Meaghan and AJ are very friendly hosts. Location is very good as well, short distance away from downtown and campus area. Again, very highly recommended."
7005164,42754467,2015-08-15,23498860,Mary,We had a nice stay! Great house and very comfortable. Meaghan gave us suggestions for our night out and we had a great time on Rainey St. We would definitely stay again!
7005164,43110476,2015-08-17,39382650,James,"The trip to Austin was fantastic and AJ and Meaghan were great hosts. They were very helpful with giving us advice about Austin and the room was everything as described, if not more. The house and room was incredibly clean and the overall experience was as if we had the house all to ourselves. We can't wait to come back."
7005164,43644778,2015-08-21,38179286,Jasmin,"AJ und Meaghan haben ein wunderschönes Haus! Alles ist sehr sauber, das Zimmer super schön und auch die Lage ist gut. Wir sind von der Megabus Station etwa 20 Minuten gelaufen und abends etwa 15 Minuten zur 6th Street. 
Am nächsten Morgen hatten wir Gelegenheit Meaghan ein bisschen kennenzulernen. Sie ist total lieb und wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt!
Wenn ich wieder mal nach Austin komme, dann werde ich gerne wieder dort übernachten :)


AJ and Meaghan have a beautiful home! Everything is very clean, the room beautiful and the location is good.
We walked 20 minutes from the Megabus stop and in the evening 15 minutes to 6th street.
The next morning we had the chance to get to know Meaghan a bit. She is super sweet and we felt very welcome!
If I come back to Austin I would like to stay with them again :)"
7005164,44048191,2015-08-23,5135956,Todd,"AJ & Meaghan were incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with.  The home is beautiful and in a great location with parking really easy to find (and cheap lyfts/ubers if you don't want to drive).  We shared a bathroom with another guest, which was not an issue at all.  Highly recommend staying here!"
7005164,44396965,2015-08-25,752064,Kaeleen,"I felt right at home... Austin, TX was my second scheduled airbnb stay during my cross country road trip and it turned into an extended stay for two reasons: Austin is pretty awesome and A.J. and Meaghan are wonderful hosts! From the start, they assisted me with the booking process (there is no question, I am extra verified) and provided me with all the details needed to get in during my late arrival. 
If you are looking for a safe home that is conveniently located to everything from downtown to local coffee shops and beyond... this is your spot. Just as described, it is modern, beautiful and the hosts are one (two) of a kind people. A professional power couple, easy to chat with and happy to offer suggestions, laughs and good conversation. Enjoy your stay with A.J. and Meaghan!!"
7005164,46917466,2015-09-14,1772776,Mike,"The place was very nice and clean. AJ and Meaghen were very friendly and responded quickly via text. 

The location was very central with easy street parking. Short walk to our favorites: franklin and Mohawk. 

There were other guests which we didn't know ahead of time. We had a slightly awkward interaction when they arrived. "
7005164,49474117,2015-10-04,38479953,Bobby,Simply the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. Impeccably clean home. AJ & Meaghan were consumate hosts. Perfect location. The other guest's were amazing...
7005164,49603101,2015-10-05,36300118,Tori,"Fantastic, super clean, good location, we walked everywhere however we walk a lot without a fuss so it all depends on if you like to walk or not, otherwise I'm sure an uber would cost next to nothing. We caught the 100 bus from the airport at $1.75 and walked from the stop on corner Trinity and 12th street up to the house. Definitely recommend staying here."
7005164,50437824,2015-10-12,13044930,Alexi,"AJ & Meaghan were great hosts, we actually didn't see much of them as we were up and out in the morning and came home late-ish in the evening.  Their home is very clean, well appointed and located close enough to downtown that you can walk and very easily bicycle to most places of interest.  I would recommend AJ & Meaghan to anyone who wants an easy going, cost effective place to stay in Austin."
7005164,51031094,2015-10-17,8442652,Jake,This is a great place to stay! It is easy to walk to downtown and  East Austin.

642674,8808541,2013-11-18,90641,Kassy,"The most relaxing place with friendly hosts and a sweet dog!!

My husband and I stayed in Leslie's studio for a weekend. We just wanted to get away from Houston and do a little hiking and relaxing. Leslie was friendly and accommodating from the beginning to end. The studio is on the same property as their home, but completely separate and very private. They are on 4 acres of fully fenced property making it ideal for those with dogs. Her dog Coli is very friendly and there is lots to see and do just on their property.
The views of Hill Country from the studio are beautiful and Pedernales State Park is only 20min away.
Leslie surprised us with croissants the first morning we were there and was very sweet to make us breakfast the second morning before we headed back to Houston. 
We will be back soon- we have found the perfect place to get away for the weekend and recharge after a stressful and busy week! Thanks Leslie!!
"
642674,11784174,2014-04-14,3198455,Jamie,Leslie was a wonderful host and was very accommodating to us.  She brought us the best croissants I've ever tasted.  We arrived very late at night and everything was set up for us.  She is such a pleasant person to talk to and had great recommendations to explore things to do and great food to eat.  We definitely will stay again when in Austin.
642674,11876089,2014-04-17,14131576,Ashley,"My friend and I wanted a nice quiet place to watch and photograph the ""blood moon"" and we found just that at Leslie's guesthouse. The scenery from the balcony made for some great images and we really couldn't have asked for a better place. We appreciated all the yummy snacks that were provided for us on arrival and even more excited about the amazing croissants brought to us in the morning. If you're looking for a nice getaway I would definitely recommend this place :) "
642674,13723044,2014-06-02,1975759,Jenna,"Leslie was awesome! She communicated well by phone and by text before and during our stay. She even made us breakfast both mornings with eggs from her chickens! The studio was well stocked with snacks, drinks and coffee. The Thistle Studio was clean with a great view and I would definitely recommend it! We will be back!"
642674,23086292,2014-11-22,90641,Kassy,"I stayed in Leslie's studio last year with my husband and liked it so much that I came back this year with my mom. The studio is carefully decorated and very comfortable. The view from the top of the stairs is beautiful and Leslie's 4 acre property is spacious and perfect for your canine companions. 
Leslie is the best hostess! The coffee and breakfast is delicious and she is very attentive to her guests.
The studio is about 25-30 minutes outside of Austin, so it is a perfect place if you want to spend time both in the city and visiting some of the beautiful parks such as pedernales falls and hamilton pool.
Thanks Leslie!"
642674,26950384,2015-02-22,7023226,Robert,"Amazing view from your own private deck overlooking a vast valley of rolling hills. Worth every penny. It's in a perfect location to experience Texas hill country, from local breweries and wineries, to small town charm and shopping and amazing parks to explore and hike. A true gem and a wonderful host who goes above and beyond."
642674,27634384,2015-03-08,15716353,Elisa,"Me and my husband traveled out to Austin for a wedding at the Vista West Ranch, and it couldn't have been a more perfect location. An easy 20 min drive away. We can't begin to describe how nice Leslie & her family are and how beautiful her property is. She made us a delicious breakfast that was really tasty. The place is also very close to Jester King if you are visiting. Next time we're in the area we'll definitely stay with Leslie. "
642674,28767697,2015-03-29,11165917,Angela,I was in town for my brother's fiancé bachloereet party and we went and visited the local breweries and vineyards.  Leslie's location was close and very easy to get to all the location. All of the places we went to were within 15 miles.  I felt very welcomed and very safe as her property is gated.  I came down with my 2 month baby and we both slept very well and loved our morning breakfast rolls Leslie brought to us.  I would definitely stay there again.  
642674,29792113,2015-04-12,8499379,Debbie,"Staying at Thistle Hill Studio was such a pleasant experience! Everything was wonderful. The bed was comfy...the shower got hot....there's a lovely little balcony to look out over the hills. The grounds are very pretty as well. Leslie is very kind & wonderful to talk to, and she can bake a mean pastry...yum! It was nice to be in the country where it was peaceful & quiet, but a very quick drive to Dripping Springs & Austin. Plus there are loads of things to do in the area. I was very happy we choice Thistle Hill over the places we were looking at in Austin. It's on my list of places I would love to stay again someday. "
642674,30377983,2015-04-21,26134571,Warren,"We had a marvelous experience with Leslie and her husband, Alex, from our first phone call to book the studio last fall to our sad goodbye after a wonderful week's stay. 
Leslie contacted us while we were en route for an initial welcome and provide more detailed directions to the studio. She also told us about the amenities she had provided, and asked about our preferences for other things we might need.
The studio was everything we expected from the listing and more. We enjoyed the views from the deck which included a beautiful sunset one evening. Leslie went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Thistle Hill studio is nestled into a lovely part of Texas hill country in a very quiet area. We look forward to returning for another visit."
642674,30712878,2015-04-26,30865617,Angelica,We had a wonderful experience and highly recommend Thistle Hill. The location is perfect and the views are breath taking. It was the perfect weekend getaway.  Leslie is a gracious host and has thought of every detail in the accommodations.  She welcomed us and we felt like family.  Every morning Leslie and Kholie greeted us with a delicious breakfast on the patio. Watching the sun come up over the hills (and the most delicious breakfast) was a perfect start to the day. The sunsets are amazing too! Thistle Hill and the hospitality Leslie provides is not to be missed. We have found our weekend getaway destination! Thank you Leslie (and Kholie and Alex and Badger) for the wonderful weekend!
642674,31860017,2015-05-10,363369,Hayden,"Thistle Hill Studio is quite a relaxing, serine space and Leslie is a wonderful hostess.  The interior is very clean and comfortable with lots of windows to enjoy the expansive views of the Hill Country.  There was a basket of snacks and a bottle of wine.  The fridge was stocked with water, beer and other drinks.  Leslie provided excellent breakfasts including home baked pastries and fresh fruit.  This is a perfect 'home-base' for touring the local wineries/breweries and/or for touring the local parks and natural areas.  And while there is a lot to do around there, you might be very content sitting on the balcony, enjoying the views and listening to the birds and the wind chimes (I know I was).  It's a great escape."
642674,32403148,2015-05-17,7387299,Lisa,Leslie was exceptional in communicating with detailed information and directions before our visit. She gave us a list of places where we could visit swimming spots in Austin. All of this made us feel right at home from the very start of our weekend stay. The property is beautiful and the studio is relaxing and comfortable. The view of the Hill Country was wonderful. And Leslie offers an outstanding breakfast. We would love to visit again. 
642674,44055361,2015-08-23,34832159,Paulo,"The studio was superb, very clean, spacious, beautiful view and location. Additionally, Lesly was a wonderful host, very cordial and welcoming. Will definitely  stay here again. "
642674,44712564,2015-08-28,32717061,Adrian,"From the moment we booked, Leslie was already helping by giving us places that we could visit. The studio is clean and kept in good condition. The view from the balcony is very nice and it's relaxing to just sit there in the mornings or evenings. The studio is a great location if you will be checking out the winery's and brewerys in the area."
642674,45987730,2015-09-07,6348129,Chris,"Fantastic experience, beautiful studio, and incredible host in Leslie. Overall, very highly recommended. "
642674,46830070,2015-09-13,37708796,Byron,"We had a great, relaxing time. Leslie's place is beautiful and very peaceful. It's great to feel quiet in the country seeing a million stars and be 30 minutes for an energy filled bar with great music in the heart of Austin"
642674,50598942,2015-10-12,41098809,Stephen,The loft was clean and comfortable ... Leslie was amazing.  We will be back. 
642674,51221682,2015-10-18,37055621,Maxwell,Leslie was an AMAZING host who stayed in contact until we were in her driveway and provided us with everything we needed to make our stay in the Hill Country the most enjoyable time we have ever had in the area. The studio is nestled on top of a hill overlooking most of the Dripping Springs area with outstanding views from the porch.  We thoroughly enjoyed having coffee & breakfast on the porch in the morning and enjoying a cold beer at dusk.  Leslie even provided and outstanding homemade breakfast  rivaling any restaurant in the area.  If you're coming to the area to enjoy all the amenities that the Hill Country offers or just for some R&R this is the place to stay.  
642674,52705874,2015-11-01,40799614,Gillian,"Thistle Hill was above and beyond my expectations. The studio was a perfect place to rest after tackling Texas hill country road cycling. To my surprise, we didn't even have to load our bikes and drive to a good cycling route; we just rode off straight from our door step and enjoyed a beautiful scenic route. 
And our host Leslie was amazing; even left us a little snack on check-in knowing we'd be exhausted arriving at night. She anticipated every need!
Thank you!"

5640410,28239726,2015-03-20,5619704,Aria,Jonathan was friendly and had some good recommendations of places to go.
5640410,33054187,2015-05-24,3531783,Antonio,"Jonathan was a very accommodating host easy to get along with, the location of the place is ideal only a short drive from downtown and there are other local bars, restaurants to visit away from the most common tourist places. "
5640410,50406598,2015-10-11,45852518,Mario S.,"Felt at home, host was awesome and accommodating."
8444071,48144158,2015-09-23,10135684,Ben,"I had a great stay at Hilarion's condo. It was a fairly central location, super comfortable and Hilarion was really great to deal with. He personally met me upon arrival and gave me some recommendations on what to do/see while in Austin. I'd highly recommend staying here!"
8444071,48633582,2015-09-27,44700746,Reba,Perfect location on the east side for a weekend in Austin. The pups loved running around in the big field out back!
8444071,50511256,2015-10-12,35441236,Harry,"Hilarion was a good Host and really responsive. Everything was as described. We stayed a week and when an issue appeared, his resolution was fast and fair. Would definitely recommend him."
8444071,51104397,2015-10-17,39871854,Kathrin,The host canceled this reservation 74 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8444071,52237850,2015-10-27,44666218,Mary,Thanks Hilarion for a great stay!  It is a nice little haven in East Austin.  Hilarion was quick to respond to our questions and the open field was a bonus for our little dog.  The grounds were beautiful and well kept!
992843,6826071,2013-08-26,7042695,Stacey,"""Spectacular"" is indeed the correct adjective for this place. From the interior design to the art to that pool!! This place is amazingly well appointed. We were lacking for nothing in the kitchen and each of the 5 couples in our party had their own spacious room and bathroom. It is so close to downtown Austin, but sitting at the pool, you feel like you are out in hill country - it felt very private. To top it off, the owners left enough information to be helpful, but not a list of 100 things to do before you leave. The whole experience was very very cool. "
992843,8122430,2013-10-16,8958780,Angie,Absolutely amazing house! We had a fantastic stay.
992843,11331435,2014-03-30,7739117,Jerome,"This is an amazing modern house in a beautiful setting. A real work of art decorated with an astute sense of design. 

The host, Paul, was very responsive and the house was perfectly clean and organized when we arrived. Worth every dollar."
992843,11738883,2014-04-14,11697391,Ben,"The house is just as it appears in the pictures. You can lounge on the back deck by the pool which overlooks the hills of Austin or sprawl out in the over-sized living room right off of the chef's kitchen. Bedrooms everywhere and the house is stocked with all you need to make it the perfect trip. Also, it's on a secluded street away but just a 2 minute drive to a shopping center and 5 miles from the heart of downtown. We can't recommend this place highly enough! Oh, and all the little bells and whistles like a Sonos multi room music player (perfect for the pool) and various mood lighting etc etc the list goes on. Enjoy!"
992843,25747853,2015-01-25,1660456,Jesse,This entire experience was world class.  I've hosted workshops at the best suite in the W for more than I invested with Paul and his stunning home.  Our participant were absolutely blown away at the decor and location.  Best venue we've booked yet.  The instruction book made everything easy to follow and find.  Bonus - the Sonos music system throughout the home really added to the experience.   I highly recommend Paul's home for a world class stay. 
992843,28286559,2015-03-21,27127342,Whitney,"Paul was an incredible host and his home is amazing. The home was clean, Paul was responsive, helpful and we had a very enjoyable, stress free time! I would highly recommend Paul and his beautiful home!! "
992843,31305796,2015-05-04,28471350,Howell,"This was a remarkable experience, from start to finish. Paul, our host, was engaged from the moment we booked the home from the time we checked out. And though he was not physically present, our 'invisible host' --and his tireless concierge --catered to every whim and saw to every need that was not already anticipated. The home itself is striking--not another place like it in the West Lake Hills area, from what we heard from locals, and saw for ourselves. The photos on the site tell half of the story; one must be physically present to absorb the full, visual experience of the address--inside and out. Highlights of a recent stay included a chance encounter with a family of deer on a morning run; an evening swim in the salt water infinity pool; and the homemade bread pudding from a personal chef, who was recommended by the concierge. Thanks to Paul and his local crew, we did not ever feel like we were occupying someone else's house. We felt like we were home. "
1420997,8083869,2013-10-15,7966922,Narie,"We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Jonathan. He was extremely easy to communicate with, and his place was perfect. Super convenient location (we walked to ACL, 6th street), tastefully decorated, cozy, clean. He left us a blanket to take to ACL with us, an umbrella for the rain, lots of generous drinks... just a few examples of Jonathan's thoughtfulness which was exhibited in his kind gestures, his friendly and easy communication, and the decor of his home.

Would strongly recommend this place and Jonathan to anyone!!!"
1420997,8565197,2013-11-05,9040359,Nick,"Great place to stay in Austin! It's an impeccably clean, cosy cottage. It's in a nice, quiet area but easily walking distance to everywhere you need to go.
Jonathan was a great host and made me feel really welcome. Easy to communicate with and just a nice guy.
Would definitely recommend staying hear if you're heading to Austin!"
1420997,8672012,2013-11-11,9129228,Peter, Jonathan is a great airbnb'r.  His place was welcoming and accommodating + the location can't be beat.  You won't be disappointed.
1420997,8779873,2013-11-18,4079359,Evan,Jonathan's home is in an incredibly convenient location in Austin just south of Lady Bird Lake with cabs and the city in easy walking distance.  The house is clean and well appointed and you will love staying here!
1420997,9254006,2013-12-16,9008891,Sarah,My husband and I came from Houston for a weekend away from the kids and Jonathan's place was perfect! It's located super conveniently to everything fun. We loved not having to get on the freeway and fight traffic to get places. And the house itself is decorated and appointed to perfectly! Couch is great for lounging and afternoon naps. Would definitely stay here again a nod could easily have accommodated another couple as well. 
1420997,9953297,2014-01-21,2237633,Alyssa,"Jonathan's place is fantastic. The location is perfect to walk basically everywhere. We ventured easily over to Zilker park, south congress and downtown. His place was the perfect size for the 3 of us that stayed. The only down side was the water pressure, the toilette didn't always flush properly.

All in all no complaints, and I would certainly rent this location again if I venture back to Austin :)"
1420997,10272125,2014-02-10,2401858,Nora,"Jonathan's place was great. The location was close to everything. The house was very cute, clean and contained everything one might need during their stay. Jonathan was also very easy to communicate with and our trip went off without a hitch. Definitely will stay here again on my next trip to Austin."
1420997,10718724,2014-03-04,562693,Lauri,"This was really a great little house, accessible to most any place you want to go both walking and bus lines.  Super clean and well appointed with a nice modern touch! Jonathan was so easy to work with as far as getting in and out with ease.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
1420997,10774232,2014-03-07,101,Laura,"Jonathan's place was perfect: Cozy, well-appointed, and stylish. As a host, he was very helpful and flexible, and easy to reach via text. We especially enjoyed the variety of available bath products and generous coffee supply. I hope to return someday!"
1420997,10917062,2014-03-13,8617458,Anthony D,"Jonathan's place was a perfect walking distance to the convention center, but with quiet at night, plenty of parking for area friends to visit, and 24-hour food in a pinch. The style is very contemporary and cozy, with all of the amenities you need (dishes, towels, bedding). During SXSW, catch the free shuttle across the street at the Long Center. We'd stay again in a pinch."
1420997,11559149,2014-04-07,13458341,Neal,We had a great stay!  The house was very comfortable and I can't say enough about the fantastic location.  We'd definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin.
1420997,11743794,2014-04-14,2325870,Deborah,"We three guests loved our stay here. The bungalow is truly comfy, even with someone on the couch. Jonathan was seemingly always available to text answers to our questions, the beds were comfy, and the location was absolutely perfect for us. Very close to the Palmer Event Center and a scenic walk to many downtown locations. We shall return!"
1420997,12289109,2014-04-28,2860558,Lauren,"Jonathan's place is exactly as pictured: charming, cozy, and close to everything! We walked everywhere! Jonathan's place was clean, comfortable and perfect for our weekend stay. Jonathan was a wonderful host! The ease of getting in to the place was due to Jonathan's effective communication. Getting into the place was a breeze, and Jonathan checked in multiple times via text to ensure a smooth check in and check out! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun weekend in Austin! "
1420997,12609744,2014-05-06,2059041,Charlotte,Jonathan was an AMAZING host. So easy to communicate with and his home was just perfect. We could walk pretty much anywhere and really got to experience all Austin had to offer. Also the 24 hour Whataburger around the corner was a great bonus!! haha. Thanks Jonathan! xo
1420997,13610158,2014-06-01,342523,Daniel,Jonathan's home in Austin is exactly as advertised. We had a great stay! Communication and checkin were a breeze and the neighborhood is fantastic. Would definitely stay again. 
1420997,13933867,2014-06-08,11484331,Jonathan,"Amazing location and accommodations! Jonathan's house is the perfect jumping off point to explore Austin. Feels homey yet chic. 2 minute walk to a market, trailers, restaurants and Butler Park. Oh and the coffee he stocked the house with is incredible. Highly recommend!  "
1420997,14205222,2014-06-14,3526809,Meaghan,"Great apartment; clean and stylish! And Jonathan left out coffee for us... yum & thank you.  Loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat.  Thanks, Jonathan."
1420997,15272588,2014-07-06,1303403,Jenny,This house was cool and in a great location. Jonathan was helpful and very responsive. It was a great place to spend a holiday with friends! 
1420997,18370507,2014-08-25,1831271,Cambria,"Jonathan was amazing!  Incredibly nice and approachable.  He made sure we had all the details before we arrived and was even available j.i.c. we had any problems getting situated. The space was so inviting and incredibly comfortable.  Jonathan has such great taste in interiors and def. knows how to decorate.  kudos.  We're a tough crowd and every detail won us over.... Especially my mom.  Def. a mom friendly space.  We had such a great time and can't rave enough about you, your space or your excellent taste. I even picked up a couple of designer tips for my own space.  It was heaps better than any hotel I've stayed at and was extremely accommodating for a party of three.  The location was right in the middle of everything.  The whole experience was a 10 and we can't wait to come stay again soon!"
1420997,18902448,2014-09-02,18830711,Michael,"Jonathan's place was basically the perfect jumping off point for exploring Austin. It's located at the nexus of several of the main drags-1st Street, Congress, and 6th Street-and near hot spots like Barton Springs Pool, while being quiet and easily accessible by foot, bicycle, or car. Austin is not very big, but it's still nice to not have to spend your time traveling.

As for the accommodations, this was a great place that comfortably fits 2-4 people. We visited with a couple, so each of us took a bedroom that offered enough space for both people and their bags. Linens were clean and neat and there were more than enough towels for everyone. We also had access to extra paper goods so we did not feel like we had to bring or buy anything extra. I do not know the policy for kitchen use on AirBnB or this place in particular, but we did not use the kitchen during our stay. There was adequate room for all of us in the living room during down time. WiFi was provided and worked well.

Jonathan was easy to contact and made us feel welcome. He returned texts promptly and explained everything we needed to know. This was my first AirBnB experience and I would definitely use another one based on this experience. I would also recommend Jonathan's place to anyone traveling to Austin."
1420997,20025116,2014-09-22,20092780,Courtney,"Jonathan's bungalow was the perfect home base for exploring Austin! It was central to all the great food spots and activities we wanted to do. The bungalow was clean, comfortable and kept cool in the Texas heat. Jonathan was a great host, made communication easy, and was readily available via text. I would definitely recommend a stay here to any friend visiting Austin."
1420997,20891001,2014-10-07,2731313,Jason,Jonathan was easy to work with and was accommodating to our travel schedule. This place is perfect for ACL and South Congress / Downtown activities. Comfortable place with modern decor.  I'd recommend it to anybody.
1420997,21275941,2014-10-14,15244099,Eric,Great location. Great house. Great host.   Made for a great vacation and we appreciated Johnathan's hospitality.

It was the perfect location, walking distance from South Congress and even fairly close to 6th street.  The neighborhood was great, pretty quiet which was perfect for us.  There were a few restaurants nearby which made it easy to get a quick bite to eat if we needed something.

The house was very clean inside and had everything we needed. Jonathan was extremely responsive and informative when we had questions or were just getting further details upon arriving. He was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend his place to other guests!"
1420997,22353114,2014-11-04,3308848,Alex,"Neighborhood was fantastic. House was so-so, pretty typical for places I've stayed, nothing better or worse than expected. Wonderful sleeping spaces. The neighborhood is perfectly located. I totally suggest walking around, the different architecture from house to house is awesome."
1420997,23604495,2014-12-06,805340,Amy,"Our stay at Jonathan's was lovely.  Picture perfect.  A nice, clean, eclectic space that welcomed us into the city.  Plenty of greenspace, good shops and restaurants within easy walking or driving distance.  We felt right at home.  Jonathan was prompt to respond to texts and gave good directions and recommendations.  Thanks again!  Had a great time in this fun city."

The room was nice and warm and the bed was comfortable. Everything we needed was there. Jonathan was nice and the instructions to find the house was easy to follow. You could walk anywhere to the downtown and it was perfect to run along the Colorado River in the morning. I mean, seriously,  there's nothing I could complain about this house."

1420997,26977503,2015-02-23,739461,Lauren,"The house was great - JUST as pictured. It was right off a main drag, but no noise from the street at all. Close to South Congress shops and eateries and Downtown was only a 20/30 minute walk over the pedestrian bridge! Jonathan was super easy to communicate with!"
1420997,28115843,2015-03-18,696809,David,"Great house in a great location, felt like home from the moment I opened the door."
1420997,28792591,2015-03-30,2231069,Lauren,"We had a wonderful stay here! There were 4 adults (2 couples) and we were very comfortable. We came for a wedding and were in a great location - the house is close to south congress as well as downtown, the best of both worlds! The outside of the house is a bit odd but the inside is exactly as pictured and very comfortable. Jonathan was a great communicator before during & after and even let half of our group extend their stay an extra night. This was our first airbnb experience and we were very happy.  "
1420997,29258427,2015-04-06,16476896,Suhas,"Jonathan was a great host. He was a very responsive and clear communicator. Not only was he proactive about getting in touch prior to our arrival, but he also stayed in touch to make sure everything was ok after we had checked in. 

His apartment is perfectly situated for a newcomer's visit to Austin -- walking distance of both the South Congress and downtown areas. Also incredibly close to an Austin city bike station which makes it even easier to get around town! "
1420997,30858331,2015-04-28,9216970,Hollie,"Jonathan was amazing.  We did not actually get to meet in person, but through TEXT I got every I answer I needed and quickly!

The house was just like the pictures and we deemed it ""The Oyster"" as another guest had said.  It is a little rustic on the outside, but inside SO STYLISH and fit all our needs.

We had an amazing weekend at the food and wine festival.  We were literally CLOSE walking distance to the park where the festival was and easy easy walking distance to downtown or SoCo which is a lovely walk.

Thanks Jonathan for EVERYTHING.  We are already thinking of booking again next year!"
1420997,31299553,2015-05-04,21748714,Chris,"This property has it all, fantastic location, safe area, comfortable beds - all you need for a perfect stay in Austin!

Jonathan was a fantastic host who went out of his way to make sure we had a great stay. His house had everything we needed for our two couples who shared it for a few days. 

It's set in a beautiful, leafy suburb and is a short walk into the city. If you aren't big on walking then there is a bus at the end of the street which will take you in quite quickly and easily. Bus transport is the best option around Austin.

We had a late flight on our last day in Austin and Jonathan was very accommodating and had no problems with us staying for us long as we needed on our checkout day.

Would definitely book this house again next time I'm in Austin."
1420997,33354579,2015-05-27,27536368,Edward,It was a great location to explore Austin.  Everything was very clean and the beds were very comfortable.  The host was available via text yet left us to our own devices!  Awesome place and we would definitely return!
1420997,34447238,2015-06-08,3771172,Jessica,"Myself and some coworkers stayed at Jonathan's place in Bouldin and absolutely loved it! It's a super cute space, trendy yet very comfortable. The location is unbeatable. You're minutes walking distance from Zilker part, the river, downtown, and congress.  Tons of places nearby to eat and drink.   As a host, Jonathan was very communicative and willing to answer questions as well as provide suggestions of where to go in the city.  I highly recommend this place."
1420997,36678009,2015-06-30,9729190,Kristen,"We had a wonderful time staying at Bouldin!  You really could walk anywhere from this place, it was about 1 mile to Whole Foods and the historic downtown.  

The place was very clean and Jonothan was very accommodating.  He was quick to respond to texts when we had questions, and was great about the check-in and check-out.  There was a king bed, and a full bed, both of which were comfortable.  Neighborhood was safe and cute!

We felt welcomed and enjoyed our stay.  I would definitely recommend this place!"
1420997,39948243,2015-07-27,34877052,Kelsie,This house was absolutely amazing! The slightly off putting exterior only makes the entrance into this immaculate and extremely well decorated home all the more exciting. The vibe in the house is fun and funky and the decorations are great! The house was equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay and more. The beds were also very comfortable which is always important to me when I'm traveling. Jonathan was very accommodating and communicative. This was my best air bnb experience yet! 
1420997,42027509,2015-08-10,8281563,Joerg,Jonathans Arrangement was super. The description is absolute correct. The apartment was clean and all the things set. I recommend to stay here. An Austin B-cycle station is 2 min away. Good BBQ are in 5 min reached.

1420997,50613804,2015-10-13,2446960,Renee,"Jonathan's house was perfect for our ACL weekend, and it is exactly as he described.  Not only is it situated in close proximity to the festival, but it was also super convenient when we wanted to grab a quick brunch just a block away.  Jonathan was also a very responsive host when we had questions about the house.  "
1420997,52208553,2015-10-27,31601,Sara,We had such an awesome stay at Jonathan's place. The neighborhood is super cute and close to all major attractions. His house is stylish and comfortable. Hope to travel to Austin again soon and would stay there again.  Thanks a bunch Jonathan!
1420997,52872377,2015-11-02,14636580,Jessica,"Jonathan was an awesome host and his home was a perfect spot for our trip! The location was amazing; an easy walk to downtown, South Congress, and all the activities around Barton Springs.  The house itself was exactly as Jonathan described - super cozy! We stayed here during the really bad storm that passed through Austin and Jonathan made sure to check in with us to make sure we were doing okay. He made us feel so welcome and was very quick to respond when we had questions. I highly recommend staying here for your trip to Austin. I know we would definitely stay here again next time we come to town!"
8612362,51368013,2015-10-19,11816772,Laura,"Dana's garage apartment was in a cute, quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance of our weekend destination.  There were plenty of stores and restaurants nearby, and there were lots of people out and about enjoying the perfect weather.  Arrival instructions were clear and simple, and the apartment was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed.  There was lots of natural light, but also sufficient window coverings for privacy at night.  The A/C was nice and cold.  All in all, the perfect place for us to stay!

787463,45327736,2015-09-01,23944702,Alan,John is very welcoming and makes sure you have everything you need. The place is clean and very nice. He is willing to interact with you or give you privacy if you'd like. It is about a 15 minute drive to downtown. He is willing to do longer term if you need it.
6749850,35526060,2015-06-19,31375645,Bill,Jesilyn is a great host. The apartment was very comfortable and very quiet. We definitely enjoyed the kitchen which has everything you need for any meal. There were tons of channels and a very comfy couch to enjoy them on. Thanks Jesilyn!
6749850,36819450,2015-07-01,36084628,Rusty,"Can't thank Jesilyn enough for being available to answer questions and accommodate requests. The apt is super clean, very comfy, and I especially liked the kitchen.

I was in Austin on business, so the excellent WiFi was important to me and all those cable channels didn't hurt, either. I hope Jesilyn will have room for me when I return to Austin in a few months. No complaints, everything was ideal. Thank you, Jesilyn!"
6749850,40933099,2015-08-03,3240668,Susan,"Jesilyn was an amazing host. She made me feel super welcome, and her place was the perfect kick off point for my 2 weeks in Austin. The apartment was so clean and comfy, so I'd highly recommend it to anyone coming to Austin. Stay here, and have the $1 margaritas on Thursdays across the street! "

6749850,49018581,2015-09-30,19886895,Catherine,This place was great -- bright and clean and cozy -- perfect for a short stay in Austin.  I hadn't even noticed that in the original listing that there's access to the pool.  That was a great surprise.  Jesilyn was an excellent host and very easy to communicate with.  I would definitely stay here again.  
6749850,49689902,2015-10-05,44161372,Erica,Jesilyn was an incredible host. This was my first time to Austin and also using Airbnb. Jesilyn was very informative and accommodating to any needs that arose prior to and during the trip. Her response time is impeccable. I had inquired about a couple of other properties prior to booking with her and she was the first person to message me back within a timely manner. Thanks again Jesilyn. 
6749850,50222036,2015-10-10,44604451,Katerina,"Jesilyn's place was quiet, cute, and comfy! We were in town for wedding festivities, and we ubered everywhere...we were never really far from anything we needed to be at so that combined with the price, the generally homey sweetness, made me really not want to use a hotel again unless it's like...the Four Seasons. My boyfriend and I slept like rocks in her King size bed, and it was so delightful to sleep in after busy days, we now look at our own mattress disapprovingly. Her kitchen was super cute with all the amenities and she set out coffee for us. :) Thanks so much, Jesilyn! "
5194760,28256064,2015-03-21,20861935,Alissa,"Vaughn was an incredible host. He was prompt with all text, phone, and email communication and even offered to pick me up at the airport. When we arrived in Austin he helped us with our bags and gave us a tour of his place. The place is great---very close to all the hip spots in Austin and was perfect for my Sxsw stay. His cat, Rex, is beyond easy and awfully cute. One of the best cats I've had the privilege of watching! We will definitely look into coming back here for the next Sxsw."
7574264,49700139,2015-10-05,16142610,Sean,"Rachels place was perfect. It had everything I needed for my stay in Austin and was only a short drive to where I needed to go. Rachel was a delightful, responded promptly to and questions or concerns I had. The check in and out were a breeze. Would come back and stay any time."
7574264,50596721,2015-10-12,21770884,Arun,Rachel's place was a great place to stay for the weekend! The apartment is as advertised and the pictures are very accurate! She was very easy to get a hold of and was very quick with any request.
7574264,52244277,2015-10-27,6891704,Sach,"We had a really good stay in Rachel's home during our visit to Austin. She was very attentive and responsive to messages prior to and during the stay. 
Quiet and safe neighbourhood. Very good location, good air-con in the house, excellent Wifi, great water cooler for instant cold drinking water!!
Fantastic local knowledge with some really good recommendations on restaurants and bars in Austin. 
Would definitely recommend staying here!"
5171509,27619675,2015-03-08,5768242,Jada,"Emily and Rich were wonderful! I stayed at their beautiful and modern guest house in the great Windsor Park neighborhood. Emily was not there but she did make sure I was well prepared for the stay and she provided Rich's contact information for all questions or emergencies. Extremely welcoming! The best part of it all was the smail details they provided in the stay. Emily had Allegro coffee, all bath products from Wholefoods and provided a great pinot noir upon my arrival. So grateful and will be back!!"
5171509,28100382,2015-03-17,27433755,Katheran,"Lovely little spot! Traveled to Austin for a last-minute speaking panel at South by Southwest and turned to Airbnb for a place to stay. Emily and Rich were super nice and accommodating, and the little house was a welcome oasis in the midst of SXSW craziness. Short drive into downtown and other interesting neighborhoods in the area. There's also a handy shopping center within walking distance just down the street. Oh, and the bed was very comfy :) Great, people, great place to stay!"
5171509,28346632,2015-03-22,4880619,Samantha,"This place was perfect! There were so many great and thoughtful touches. We arrived and it was spotless and located close to a few really great restaurants and a short drive to downtown. Did not have ton a of on-site interaction with the hosts, but they were totally available, they'd just arranged everything for us so that any questions we may have had were already answered. Plus they were really accommodating when we had a last minute change in logistics. Would definitely stay here again!"
5171509,29006907,2015-04-02,9167399,John,Emily's place is very cute and had al the amenities you need. The location is also great: near a giant HEB grocery store and also right near the 35 which can take you to almost anywhere you need to go. Emily and her family were incredibly polite and supplied almost everything: including an ironing board and iron when I asked!
5171509,29879943,2015-04-13,30530498,Kenny,"Emily's ""mini house"" is a great alternative to staying at a hotel. It has everything you need for your stay, including many great recommendations for nearby dining. 
It is a good location, close enough to downtown yet far enough away for peace and quiet.
We enjoyed out stay and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Austin area."
5171509,30221200,2015-04-19,2742493,Justin,"I booked the place for my parents to stay. It was a good location for us, and very easy. It is a small little stand-alone house just like they say, right off the road, and very easy to get to. The hosts were very accommodating, and the bed was (I'm told) quite comfortable. The windows don't open so the room apparently still had something of a ""new"" smell, which was perhaps unexpected but really was totally fine. I wouldn't come here hoping to hang out all day in the room (but why would you want that in Austin?!), but it was an excellent staging ground for them, and comfortable. I can also attest to some excellent suggestions of restaurants and things to do in the little booklet that the hosts left. "
5171509,30736542,2015-04-26,2488355,Sara,"LOVED this little house. Perfect location. Comfy bed. Warm shower. Quiet neighborhood. The space is so cute and clean and cozy. Emily was super quick to respond to any questions I had, greeted us with a note and some snacks and beverages, and even left me a blow dryer last minute when I realized I left home without mine. Would recommend this place over and over and can't wait to come back. Two thumbs way up for the Little House. "
5171509,31271868,2015-05-03,32219105,Aditya,"It was such an amazing experience.  Emily prepared the little house perfectly,  and I couldn't have asked for a better stay in Austin.  It such a cute place and is by the far the coziest place I've ever stayed at. Comfy bed,  hot shower,  not too far from everything,  and it feels like a wonderful home."
5171509,33141092,2015-05-25,12116535,John,"The Little House is very stylish, centrally located, and immaculate in terms of cleanliness and design.  Emily and Rich were wonderful hosts.  I highly recommend booking a weekend (or more). "

The space is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The house is in a great quiet neighborhood, we had a car so it was easy for us to get to the many great suggestions Emily had given. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay in Austin!"
5171509,36470095,2015-06-28,10487632,Hannah,Emily's tiny house is an absolute joy to stay at. It is beautifully designed and perfect for a cozy weekend for two. The neighborhood is a great part of Austin with easy access to I-35 to get downtown. There are a number of restaurants in the area as well. We truly could not have had better experience. 
5171509,38962760,2015-07-19,26083806,Sarah,"Absolutely lovely, clean and bright little house. And so easy to catch an airbnb downtown!"
5171509,39859525,2015-07-26,4174759,Karen,"A beautiful zen cabin designed to accommodate big dreams and modest budgets.  I read, I slept, I enjoyed listening to the quiet calm of Austin in the Summer heat.  Fantastic place! Beautiful space!"
5171509,40685406,2015-08-01,11549082,Ayana,"Emily was an awesome host! Her description of The Tiny House was spot on! I was more blown away when I arrived than I was looking at the awesome pictures! Although it's a small space, I felt like I was home! Very comfortable, just enough space, and on top of all that, the location was perfect! Emily made sure we had everything we needed, went above and beyond for us even while she was on vacation! I absolutely enjoyed myself and would definitely stay here again, and would reocmened my fellow travelers indulge in this fantastic experience!!"
5171509,43093239,2015-08-17,38615663,Walter,"I cannot say enough about how amazing everything was during my stay at the little house in Austin. The house has everything, and was so homey and cozy. It seriously felt like coming home every day after long days of adventuring in ATX. Emily was an extremely accommodating and wonderful host, she even got us milk for our coffee! I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Two thumbs up, and highly recommended!"

Everything about it was perfect - my wife and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay after our wedding. We loved this place! And will always remember it dearly."
5171509,45153173,2015-08-31,3258443,Thomas And Jess,"Emily was a perfect host--she reached out ahead of time to ask about our coffee preferences, was available and checked in during our stay, and the tiny house was among the most magical AirBnB experiences we've ever had. It was pristine, centrally located, beautifully decorated, and a wonderful place to stay every night. Highly recommended. "
5171509,46004777,2015-09-07,34215909,Will,Great place! Just the way the description described it! Emily was a great host and made it a smooth process.

It had everything we needed- coffee, pantry staples, toiletry items, etc. She left a note with all the house information and recommendations for places to eat around Austin. The neighborhood is nice a quite but still close to fun Austin activities. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."

"
5171509,51915003,2015-10-25,43729070,Barbara,Location and abode are both perfect for the weekend or week long traveller to Austin. If you are there for UT activities or downtown events it gets you pretty close without being in the thick of the noise or traffic. The Tiny House is in a quiet neighborhood. If you are thinking of throwing a party while in the Music City this is not the place to do it. We were very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay there. Have been going to Austin for the past 8 years and this has become our favorite place to lay our heads at night.
5171509,52348076,2015-10-28,29409650,Ken,"We had a wonderful stay at Emily's tiny house in Austin. Everything was just as pictured. Emily was very accommodating with our arrival and departure times and was available as she lived in the house next door to the AirB&B. The accommodations were clean, modern, and very comfy. The neighborhood was easy to find, safe, and parking was never an issue (we rented a car). Highly recommend staying at Emily's AirB&B when you are in Austin."

4277762,24398449,2014-12-27,10071272,Sasha,"The quickest response to a request thus far. Eric is friendly and helpful. He even checked to make sure we were comfortable with the temperature. It is a smaller house, but quiet, neat, and clean. "
4277762,24982073,2015-01-04,23914041,Jana,"The house was really nice, even greater than in pictures. Will return for sure! No complains at all"
4277762,25156839,2015-01-07,4197733,Caitlin,"Eric has a really nice, tidy, cozy room here. The guest bathroom was also very nice with a great shower.  Eric was a nice, smart guy, we had a good long chat over the coffee he offered me on my first morning.  My only regret is that the cold weather kept me from enjoying the big backyard."
4277762,25776383,2015-01-25,26226068,Amy,"I had a very nice stay! The room was as advertised, and the bed was comfy. Eric and his roommate were friendly and hospitable, and Eric replied to all my questions in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend."
4277762,26082968,2015-02-02,25200955,Kasia,Eric responded to my request almost instantly! He was very welcoming and polite. Everyone was so quiet it was hard to tell if anyone was home! All the folks were super friendly; the dogs especially. :-) I had a great stay! Would definitely recommend.

The neighborhood felt safe and is super close to a bunch of bars and restaurants in East Austin. Great price too, would recommend to students and other young people."
4277762,27152807,2015-02-26,23162862,Eric,"Eric was a good host, everything was clean and as described and he, his girlfriend and another roommate made me feel at home with a bit of conversation and some beers. I came and went as I pleased and no one was around all that much, but the area is nice and not far from downtown or anything you'd like to see in Austin. I had a car so getting around wasn't a problem. Not sure about local public transit options."
4277762,27220627,2015-02-28,27495186,Colleen,Eric was a great host and made us feel very welcome before we got there! Highly recommend this place. The bathroom was fully stocked with every toiletry you can imagine and he had clean towels on the table when we got in. He also gave us some good recommendations of local bars which are not far at all. If you are looking for a place to visit Austin you can't beat this location and price!
4277762,27301122,2015-03-01,18825060,Hector,"Everything was a great, room was clean restroom was clean. Eric made sure I was able to get inside. Great experience. "

4277762,29876421,2015-04-13,28885107,Gia,"My friend and I stayed with Eric and his roommates for 4 days. They were very friendly and helpful and their house is very clean, quiet,and cozy. They have two stranger-friendly dogs that they kept put away when they were gone.They were even nice enough to let us use their laundry room.

We did not have a car and got into most neighborhoods (SOCO, Lamar, 6th, museum corridor). The #18 bus runs every 30 min and is right across the road and will get you downtown and connected to most bus lines you need if you want to go further out).Just be prepared to take Lyfts at night as the bus stops at 10. (ex. about $12 each way to East 6th Street). People with cars will especially find this location to be a great value compared to downtown listings (very short drive to most places). Definitely highly recommend this host!"
4277762,32992673,2015-05-24,31220804,Jesse,"Unfortunately, I didnt get to meet Eric since he was out of town for the long weekend . The Listing was accurate and every thing was great. Very comfy bed too. I would stay again.
Thanks! "

His house is clean and beautiful, and he entertained us the first night when we couldn't go out due to heavy rain. Our stay was very enjoyable, and it was a great experience. We will definitely stay with Eric again the next time we visit Austin."
4277762,36351058,2015-06-27,17807555,Tyler,Eric is very laid back. His house is very peaceful and cozy. I had a great 3 day stay with absolutely no issues!
4277762,39258027,2015-07-21,17860727,Dominika,I booked Eric's place in last minute. He responded quickly. He was away that night but he was able to arrange smoothly our stay. The house was nice and clean. We were able to use a laundry. Everything was perfect.
4277762,40471491,2015-07-31,28097261,Elise,"Host is a great communicator. 
Room is perfect. 
House could be a bit cleaner. 
House is in a very suburban area, suggest having a car to get everywhere. "
4277762,40836893,2015-08-02,31731771,Masha,We haven't actually met Eric because he was out of town. But our stay was nice: cozy room and 10 minute drive from the heart of Austin.

We didn't get to hangout at the apartment much since we were only in town for two days and were gone since morning until night. The room was perfect and the bed was comfy. The location was about a 10 minute car ride to everything. Nothing to complain about, just a great place to stay!"
4277762,48387476,2015-09-26,28459891,Gregori Sophiene,Les photos sont fidèles . La maison est simple à trouver . Super accueil par la femme de maison qui est très sympa et qui nous a conseillé sur Austin . Il est simple de se garer . Je recommande .

8567854,49715251,2015-10-05,43786038,Jose,"Was an incredible experience, was my first time using Air BnB. A pretty area of the city, near by the all the public transportation and shopping areas."

He stayed in contact via phone throughout the entire check in."
47559,88930,2010-09-01,29214,Naomi,"There is nothing like this place-it is a dreamland. Aaron, Aaron and Kyle are sure to win you over, whether it's when they're taking you kayaking along Lady Bird Lake, cruising downtown on bike to the best lounges after cooking an awesome meal, taking a mo-ped tour by peddycab or just laying around in the hammocks. 
You'll have plenty of space to yourself, yet feel like you're at home with old friends. 
If you rent the whole place, be sure to ask these guys for advice on the best finds in Austin.

47559,973704,2012-03-05,1810072,Heidi,"I stayed in the house with my whole tennis team for our USTA championship tournament for an entire weekend and we couldn't have picked a better location! They went out of their way to accomodate my group despite the size and short notice. Within hours the team was referring to the house as our home. It has a very cozy, vintage, Austinite feeling to it perfect for anyone looking to have the full Austin city ife experience. They have posters and directions up all over the house and were very attentive the whole time about any questions we had regarding getting around Austin. It would be a mistake to book your housing situation elsewhere, I personally can't wait to go back! "
47559,983618,2012-03-09,1814480,Jason,This was my first airbnb experience and it exceeded my expectations in every way.  Nice clean place and cool laid back hospitality-oriented people who are very knowledgeable about the best things to do in the city.  The best part for me was being able to borrow a bike.  All the great spots in Austin are an easy bike ride from the house.  
47559,1016062,2012-03-19,772055,Jarrett,"Aaron was an excellent host and provided us with everything that we needed to make our stay comfortable.  He was very easy to work with especially coming with such a large group and for such a long period of time. The communication with Aaron kept me at ease, especially since this was my first time using AirBnB.

The house was comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the hammocks and morning trampoline ""workouts."" We couldn't have been more happier with the stay and it added to an extremely memorable experience."
47559,1041587,2012-03-25,1828085,Jason,"My recent stay at Aaron's house was a great first time Airbnb experience for me. What I liked most about it was that Aaron is very nice and knowledgeable about Austin. The location was ideal for me. You can borrow a mountain bike and cruise downhill in less than 5 minutes to get to the lake that runs by downtown. The YMCA for lap swimming, Barton Springs, Deep Eddy and downtown were all within biking distance. Aaron was kind enough to show me around and include me in activities with his friends. You also have the option to do adventurous activities with him through Guidehop. Overall I had a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend staying at his house. "
47559,1070544,2012-04-01,2033126,Gregory,"Aaron was a great host.  We got into the house with no issues, hopped around on the trampoline for a while and then headed out to lunch at Abel's on the Lake which was pretty close by.  We got back and bounced some more and then Aaron got back from a kayak tour.  Aaron was super nice and helped us out and told us where to go out.  Also, we are going to check out his website, (website hidden), and see what's going on whenever we are traveling.  "
47559,1084421,2012-04-04,1773027,Leah And Marcus,"Aaron picked us up from the airport real late, then drove us into town so we could go out to a few bars on a Saturday night. His house is really close to downtown, but also close to Barton Springs and the green belt where you can swim when it's warm out. He lent us his bikes, which made getting around town super easy. The house is very clean and homely, and everyone who lives there is very relaxed."
47559,1097144,2012-04-08,1816653,Kirsten,"College friends and I flew into Austin for our friends wedding. We immediately fell in love with this house because of its location and fun features like the trampoline, hammocks, scooters, etc. We stayed for two nights and it immediately felt like home. Aaron and his roommates are super friendly and laid back. They offered lots of great advice about things to do in town and even took us on a city night tour by scooter and a springs scuba dive. The house is centrally located and it was easy to get around town and an easy walk down to the river. We also spent lots of time lounging at the house which was so relaxing and FUN! We loved it and I would stay there again!"
47559,1140852,2012-04-16,717185,Diana,"It was a perfect girl's fun weekend in Austin!  Aaron was a sweet and gracious host and made our stay very easy and comfortable.  The house is simply lovely - jumping on the trampoline in the front yard in a cool night breeze after a hot shower was almost transcendental!  :p  And we were lucky to be visiting the night Aaron and friends were throwing an island party (checkout his site (website hidden), many a unique and exciting experience can be found on it including your very own island party!).  It was a combination of the energy of music, drinks, food cooked over an open fire, tree swing, bubbles, surrounded by the serenity of trees and water...we had a such blast!  Anywho, it was a great stay and definitely looking forward to come back again!  :)"
47559,1211554,2012-05-01,2128591,Florence,"Staying at Aaron's place was perfect for us. He lives in a perfect location if you want to be close to downtown, the Zilker Park and most of the attractions in Austin. Aaron would help us all the time to find activities with the little time we had in Austin. One night, we went on scooter trip around some beautiful streets of the city and to Mount Bonnell, that was beautiful! We really had a great time, the house was awesome with all the toys!"
47559,1227612,2012-05-04,1636326,Rubi,"Aaron, Aaron & Kyle were amazing hosts. Our introduction to Austin would not have been the same without them. 

They were helpful & more then happy to share their local knowledge of the city, from outdoor activities, bars & the best food in town. 

Just on our first night, the guys picked us up from the train station & we joined them for dinner at the best burger place in town. Later that night we all stole away on mopeds to play midnight putt putt on the local golf course.

The house itself is cool, clean and roomy. There were 3 of us staying and we had one room and a ridiculously comfy couch. I know these guys also rent out the whole house which would also be fun if we came back with more friends (soon!).

The guys also let us borrow their bikes while we were there for the 10-15min ride into town to explore. The bus system is also great and close by if you don't have a car. 

If your looking for a clean, friendly, fun place to stay this is it. I would highly recommended staying here especially if you've never been to Austin as their local knowledge is invaluable and there is nothing better then a beautiful home and gracious hosts.

A huge thanks to you guys, we hope to see you in Australia soon so we can return the favor!! "
47559,1318254,2012-05-21,2212025,Jacquie,"Aaron was a great host and house was perfect for our needs.  We didn't get to spend much time with Aaron as we rented the whole house for a ladies weekend.  He recommended some great places and even offered to take us kayaking.  Unfortunately time didn't permit that but maybe next time!  I recommend renting from Aaron if you're looking for a great, laid back kind of stay."
47559,1346402,2012-05-25,835300,Bek,"very easy going, great place to stay.  They gave us tons of cool ideas on what to do for the night.  Very accomodating. "
47559,1372323,2012-05-29,2116580,Brandon,"My girlfriend and I wanted to get away for Memorial Day weekend and chose Austin as our destination. We didn't really know anything as far as where to go, or what to see, or how to get around, but Aaron was awesome and helped us out quite a bit! The use of the bikes was an awesome, albeit hot, way to get around Austin and see Zilker Park, Barton Springs, South Congress, and Town Lake... all of which Aaron suggested to us before we headed out for the day. He even met us at the lake for kayaking and swan-boating, which was a great way to relax after biking all over the place! We ended up using all of his suggestions for places to go and see, eat, and play. When we checked out to eventually have a ""couple's night"" at the Driskill Aaron was amazing and offered us a ride to downtown so we wouldn't have to pay for a cab, saving us a bunch of money! How cool is that??

The house itself is located in a great little neighborhood and close to a ton of fun out door activities. Everything there was neat and we had free use of everything available. It was like spending a weekend at friend's house and we had a great time! We also wish him the best of times in his upcoming Around The World tour!"
47559,1493030,2012-06-16,652044,Leah And Brian,"We had a great time-- Aaron was very accommodating and was flexible with making arrangements for the day of arrival. The house is great, and there seemed to be a lot of great options available (such as kayaking, hiking) that we did not take advantage of but looked like fun, and it was definitely a great stay for us!"
47559,2182431,2012-09-03,3269191,Tim,"Wonderful stay in Austin! Aaron was very flexible with arrival and departure times and helped us find things to do, and places to go in Austin. The location is just as advertised, really close to downtown with wonderful outdoor areas to hang out. If I ever need to go to Austin with  a group again, I will call Aaron. "
47559,2444046,2012-09-29,3163883,Jeremy,"Had a amazing time at Aaron's house in Austin while attending Fantastic Fest!  The location in Tarrytown is very convenient, just a few blocks from the Colorado River where we launched kayaks for an evening watching the bats fly.   Mopeds and bikes were a lot of fun for exploring, followed by some hammock time back at the house.  A good grocery store is nearby where we picked up provisions for an evening of BBQ-ing with friends.  Aaron was extremely professional and punctual and we felt in very good hands for our first trip to Austin.  Ample sleeping options  were perfect for our large group.  Definitely recommend staying here."
47559,2522547,2012-10-06,2315148,Stuart,"First things first, the hosts were super cool.  I missed my flight in the morning from SFO to ATX, and Aaron and his roommates were flexible with us.  

Secondly, the house was great.  It's not a super fancy place, just a solid place to hang and drink a few beers with your friends.  We did not use the bikes or kayaks, but they looked awesome.  

Lastly, the location is great.  Very close to downtown/6th street and all that ATX has to offer.  

In summation, the hosts were cool, the place was great, and we'd definitely look at going back.  "
47559,2538089,2012-10-08,3311169,Nathan,"First time using airbnb. 11 of us traveled from Fayetteville, Arkansas to Austin, Texas to paticipate in the Tough Mudder 2012. We, as Team O.P.O, help raise money for local and non-local charity events.

Aaron was GREAT, the house was perfect, location was excellent and the price was right. We will be back!  

Thanks Aaron, I'm sure we will see you soon brother.

47559,2627660,2012-10-16,196588,Marisha,"My 5 friends and I rented out this house for ACL 2012 and we had a blast! 

The house was within walking distance to Zilker along a scenic path. We loved the trampoline and hanging out in the hammocks at night as we were way to exhausted to do anything else after ACL. The outdoor shower was pretty awesome, so sad I forgot my swimsuit and was not able to use it! I would love to stay here in the future and get use the kayaks and enjoy the lake more. 

Aaron was an awesome host, starting off my first night in Austin right with a ride in his sidecar! SO much FUN! Aaron was very easy to get a hold of during our stay for absolutely anything that we needed and responded quickly to any questions we had. 

All around great experience, no complaints whatsoever, would rent this house again in a heartbeat!

Thanks Aaron!"
47559,2925675,2012-11-20,2918126,Richard,"Accommodations were great! Aaron and the guys were very hospitable and made our stay a pleasure. I was there for the inaugural Formula 1 weekend and the location worked out great for me and my family. Although I didn't have a chance to explore the surround area that much, there appeared to be many places to bike and explore and I wish there was time to use the kayaks. Austin is a great city and would defiantly recommend staying here.
"
47559,3479018,2013-02-04,3867632,Andrew,"Aaron was friendly super fast in getting back to me for this last minute booking. He was also kind enough to meet us downtown on his scooter to show us the way to the house. Me and some colleagues needed somewhere to stay for a quick weekend break in Austin. The house is really nice - comfortable, clean, spacious. enormous tv and i loved the bikes you can use - of which there are 3. The house is situated about a ten minute bike ride from downtown - you go underneath the MPAC and a bunch of roads on this great bike trail into town - I didnt walk it but I guess it'd be a good half hour walk maybe. So it's a good place from which to explore the city  - I'd come back again if I was with a big group - there are 4 bedrooms, though we only used 3."
47559,3677954,2013-03-03,2230086,Glenn,"Aaron's place was very cozy and in a great location in Austin. We took out the kayaks a couple times and Aaron had a ton of great suggestions for things to do in the nearby area. The chimneas on the porch made for fun nights hanging out outside. Would definitely recommend his house for a group of ~8.

"
47559,3976179,2013-04-01,5049409,Fiona,"We are a community theatre group from the UK and came to Austin to perform in a festival here in March. There were 8 of us staying, and there was plenty of room for us all. The house was clean and welcoming and we were quickly able to settle into the place. Communication prior to the visit was excellent, Aaron was easy to reach and and made sure we had all the information we needed. We loved the hammocks and the trampoline, and were only sorry that we didn't get to spend much time at the house enjoying these outdoor facilities. It was a relaxed place to stay and in a very convenient situation for us. The late night train noises were a surprise on the first night but we quickly got used to them. I would stay there again."
47559,4160222,2013-04-15,4817121,Richard,"A group of us travel to Austin each year to do swim training for long open water events starting in June. It is a great venue with loads of swim sites. The house was centrally located.

We needed a place that could accommodate athletes. This was the place! Aaron, the owner, was very quick to respond to all inquiries. Had everything in place, on time. The house was neat and clean. Loads of sports stuff on site: bikes; a trampoline; PFDs which we needed for the boats. Hammocks. It was just what we needed and so close to Deep Eddy you could ride a bike or walk. 

We are likely to return. I have only one observation which is not a negative. It is well-suited for active visitors. If you plan to sit around to watch golf all weekend then you might be bothered by noise from trains or the highway. We turned the TV (the biggest flat screen I've ever seen) on just once as we were leaving, to make sure it worked. "
47559,4267243,2013-04-23,5190710,Hector,"Aaron made our first experience using Airbnb amazing! He is friendly, nice, cool, and getting in touch of him is super easy when we had questions. The house is a great place to stay and our group of nine had enough room to be comfortable! The neighborhood is really safe, quiet, close to downtown and the water. The house has a lot to offer for active people. We ended up renting the mopeds for the weekend which was a lot of fun cruising around the city. I wish we could have used all the other things the house has to offer but we were there for MotoGP, so did not have time to enjoy everything the house had to offer! 

Thanks for everything!

47559,4338211,2013-04-29,5324244,Josh,"I came down with a group of 14 guys to throw a bachelor party for the weekend. Honestly I could not have asked for a better setup in a house. The house was PERFECT for a big get together, and Aaron was excellent. He was very easy to communicate with and really took care of us. I would stay here again and again."
47559,4829812,2013-05-28,339078,Brian,"This was the perfect home for our group of 9. Everything was exactly as described and Aaron and Darby were great hosts. The neighborhood was nice and quiet but nearby to Barton Springs, Zilker Park and a quick cab ride to downtown. There was plenty of space and privacy with the three main bedrooms and the fourth den/bedroom. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin."
47559,7786998,2013-10-02,4728829,Jeff,The reservation was canceled 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
47559,8790800,2013-11-18,711379,Emmanuel,"3 Friends and I had an outstanding time during the 2013 Grand Prix. This house is perfect: spacious, full of light, very clean, super comfortable with everything you need and more. The Garden is very spacious and even have a trampoline, a PingPong table, 2 Hammocks...
Perfectly located in a lovely neighborhood, walking distance to the park and the river while super close to downtown.
I don't think we could have found a better place to stay to enjoy Austin even if I wish we would have had more time to use all the fun gears Aaron and his friends have in their garage: Bikes, Kayaks, etc.... "
47559,10996840,2014-03-16,13127214,Jimmy,"Staying at Aaron's place was nothing short of fantastic. He's a great host and communicates well. The house and room were very clean, absolutely no complaints. The location is hard to beat."
47559,11543859,2014-04-07,4983142,Leila,"The fun house was just that- a very fun house!  Although we only stayed one night, it was the perfect accommodation.  Plenty of space for 7 of us to sleep comfortably, easy access to the city and plenty of toys to play with :). Aaron was a fabulous host and worked with us when we had to delay our checkout.  I highly recommend staying at Aaron's stay and play in Zilker!"
47559,11833008,2014-04-16,3014340,Justin,"*YES* - that's your answer if you're thinking about staying with Aaron in Austin.

Pros:
- Big house with *tons* of space to spread out, play games in the back yard, or just have space to yourself if you want to relax.
- Very safe and quiet neighborhood - I'm a light sleeper, but I had no problem getting my Zs here.
- Really close to everything: It's just a mile or so to campus or downtown Austin, but you don't have to deal with the traffic/noise once you head home for the day.

Biggest Pro:
- Aaron and his roommates rock. They gave me recommendations for food to eat, trails to explore, and we even went frisbee golfing on a perfect 80-degree Austin day. I've stayed at a dozen or so AirBnb places over the years, and I've never had such great hosts.

Cons:
- None! Well, it did hail the last day I was in town, which I totally blame on Aaron :)
- Seriously, no cons. This stay was awesome.

In summary: Whether you're just looking to relax in a safe/quiet place, or you want to really dive into the Austin scene with a new group of friends - this place is for you.

Thanks Aaron/everyone for a great time in ATX!"
47559,13068859,2014-05-19,5013260,Michelle,Perfect location for the sites of Austin.  The house was big and comfortable.  The ping pong table was a bonus.  
47559,13399960,2014-05-27,5055676,Phil,"This house was perfect for our group of 8- comfortable, great back yard, walking distance to great bars/restaurants/Barton Springs. Aaron was very easy to deal with, absolutely recommend this spot."
47559,14595892,2014-06-23,31931,Kan,Sweet spot that was perfect for our group of six to walk to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden for a wedding. 
47559,28118109,2015-03-18,3964811,Timur,Aaron was a great host: very communicative and easy to get ahold of. House was exactly as described. Awesome sxsw location
47559,28300815,2015-03-22,25508997,Damon,"Aaron is great.  He is interesting, personable, welcoming, and enthusiastic.  The place was as beautiful as we expected, with cool furnishings, an open layout, and lots of light.  We took full advantage of the fire pit and ping pong table.  The minibus, Rambo, was also very comfortable.  In all respects, I highly recommend Aaron and his home.  "
704372,3772000,2013-03-13,4742658,Cindy,"Leah was fantastic to work with. She was flexible as our dates changed, and was responsive and friendly throughout the process. Her house is beautiful and it was a great ""home base"" for us while in Austin."

The house is beautifully decorated and the rooms are very nice. It's always a bit difficult to get transportation during SXSW but it was definitely worth it. Enjoy!!"
704372,28031582,2015-03-16,28401879,Molly,"This Austin home is an oasis 3 miles from downtown. A great location for SXSW and Uber pickups/drop offs. The house is impeccably designed for comfort inside and out. The kitchen and master suite are amazing! It's in a great neighborhood for walking and getting to the lake. The patio, grill, pool and hot tub offer a relaxing atmosphere. We all loved it!!!"
704372,30874370,2015-04-28,18211919,Callie,"This house is amazing! It is event more beautiful than in the pictures. My husband and I rented through Leah for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect place to relax and escape the wedding madness. Leah shows us such wonderful hospitality. She left the house spotless for us, respected our privacy, and even left us sweet little welcome snacks and champagne. Great location as well - a close drive to downtown and walking distance to Hula Hut, Mozart's, etc. We definitely recommend this house!"
704372,50531771,2015-10-12,28436641,Miles,Leah's home was perfect for our weekend getaway to Austin for the Austin City Limits music festival. Funky decorations and a beautiful outside pool area was the exact vibe we were looking for with our small group of friends. She was never more than a text away and provided a few snacks and starter beers as well. Highly recommend she has a wonderful home and is very resourceful 
354542,997477,2012-03-13,1827769,Dave,"We had a great time staying at this house during SXSW this year. Kim did everything she could to make us comfy during our stay and even took our request to put an extra mattress in for one of our guests.

The bedrooms were super cozy and the 'great room' is awesome--huge space with lots of light to hang out, relax and entertain."
354542,1019149,2012-03-19,1833248,Rose,The house was great with a superb location extremely central to SXSW events. Kim was fantastic and incredibly hospital. Thank you so much!
354542,1164742,2012-04-22,530684,Luke,Loved this place.  The only bad part was our trip getting shortened and not being able to enjoy this lovely modern home to the fullest.  The night time view from the rooftop terrace while having a glass of wine was a particular high point.  Would recommend highly to anyone traveling to the great bastion known as Austin!
354542,1184935,2012-04-26,2025207,Damen,"The Shower in the master bathroom is AMAZING, and even if the rest of the house wasn't fabulous and comfortable(which it is) the shower experience alone would justify the stay!

"
354542,1564859,2012-06-26,1909391,Miguel,"Fantastic central location, a beautiful, well designed house filled with top of the line amenities, and a gracious, welcoming host.

354542,3794306,2013-03-16,1992109,Daniel,An excellent house in such a cool part of Austin. Kim was a great host and made checking in and out so easy. The house also had everything you would need for a great stay in Austin.
354542,3888050,2013-03-25,1692122,Scott,"I had an all around great experience with Kim and her place!  Kim was SO nice when I was inquiring about the place, and making sure we knew how to get in, etc.  The house was fantastic!  Exactly what we expected - really nice, garage door living room setup was awesome, as was the rooftop deck.  If I had one complaint, it was that it was a little bit farther from downtown/6th st than we anticipated.  Probably not walking distance, but that was a huge deal.

Highly recommend this for a stay in Austin."
354542,3973130,2013-04-01,2505552,Christina,"Amazing master bath shower, roof deck, kitchen, and TV! Beautiful space esp the garage door that opens up the living room. It was perfect for our girls' retreat. Thanks so much, Kim!"
354542,4160166,2013-04-15,4511581,Garret,Kim was a perfect host and the house was as great as advertised!  Everything in the house is very modern and chic in appearance.  I would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Austin!

East Austin is definitely up and coming and the are is very friendly.  The house itself is amazing, great bedrooms and the garage door vibe is very cool.  I recommend staying at this location if you are trying to have a good time!

Paul"
354542,4680581,2013-05-20,1629094,Tawny,"This house is amazing. We had a great time lounging on the roof, playing music in their great room, cooking huge, vegan soul food dinners in the gorgeous kitchen, and passing out in the 3 comfortable bedrooms. We were a group of 8, and stayed for 4 nights and only ever had about 6 people staying there at a time, so it was quite comfortable. The rain shower in the master bath was a big hit too. And when we left the house, we found ourselves in perfect walking distance to all of my favorite east side haunts. The Liberty, The White Horse, Papi Tino's. And the newest addition to the neighborhood, Whisler's, which has a huge outdoor area and amazingly inventive cocktails. Reminded me of Volet Hour in Chicago, or Little Branch in NYC. Lastly, Kim was such a great host! So very flexible with our check-in /out times, answered questions immediately when we needed something, and the house was well stocked with essentials (her espresso machine makes delicious coffee and she left us plenty to use). The next time we're in Austin, I'd definitely stay here again."
354542,7690013,2013-09-30,3190405,Alex,"The place was great, and perfect for our stay. Not only was the house amazing, but E 6th ended up being our favorite neighborhood in Austin. Hadn't been out in that area before so it was a nice surprise!"
354542,8519501,2013-11-04,7268723,James,We had a fantastic stay!  The house was perfect for 7 people and within walking distance of some great establishments.  Kim was unbelievably accommodating.  She went above and beyond.  Thank you for making our trip to Austin so wonderful.  I can't wait to come back.   
354542,8778364,2013-11-18,6370716,Stephen,"Everything worked great. House is in a great close location to the City. Also good location to get to Motor Racing circuit (short drive) which is what we visited for.
Kim ensured everything was there and the whole experince was very slick. "
354542,10063552,2014-01-28,10743320,Jeff,awesome place with many amenities. great location. very receptive and responsive host. 
354542,10378414,2014-02-17,9879369,Merrin,"Eunice was a great host to me and my girlfriends this weekend! She checked in with my prior to my stay and made the experience stress free, despite weather related cancellations delaying our arrival time. Her home was beautiful and clean and just minutes away from 6th street. I would highly recommend Eunice as a host for any upcoming trips to friends and family!"
354542,10546599,2014-02-24,10661318,Emily,Fabulous property and wonderful host. Modern amenities and the house was clean and tastefully decorated. The host was ultra responsive and friendly. Absolutely recommend this property and would stay here again!
354542,11173726,2014-03-24,850323,Rebecca & Jimmy,"The house was in great condition, had all the amenities you could ask for and more!  It took a little bit to get the lay of the land but overall pretty convenient to everywhere provided you were taking cabs and not trying to walk all the way downtown.  Home owners are exceptional to work with and very easy to communicate with.  Very family oriented house.  "
354542,11530642,2014-04-07,9878377,Ben,"Eunice's place is fantastic!  Large, spacious, modern, and wired (Airplay, Chromecast, Nest, SimpliSafe, etc...).  I stayed at Eunice's place with 8 other guys for a bachelor's party and we had a fantastic time.  

The huge kitchen / living space with the roll-up garage door lends itself to a big group hanging out together.  We all slept comfortably.  The house is in a great location, within a short walk from a number of hot East Austin bars (apparently, East Austin is where it's at right now ... the Williamsburg of Austin).  Eunice was communicative and helpful before and during our stay.  

The one hitch in our stay was we ran out of hot water (9 guys taking showers) and it didn't replenish, even a day later.  Were that not the case, the shower in the master bedroom would have been wonderful - it has like 4 different nozzles pointed at you in addition to a ceiling mounted rain head.  Oh, and the eco toilettes, while lacking in flushing power, have bidets, which is pretty cool.....  

I would definitely, definitely stay again for a similar type of function.  We had a blast."
354542,12340615,2014-04-29,13345281,Stephen,Lovely home and a helpful host.  Quiet neighborhood but close enough to walk to all sorts of restaurants and bars.  Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others! 
354542,12843449,2014-05-12,728330,Devon,"Eunice was an incredible host, and her house was perfect for our group. There was extensive and frequent communication both before and during our stay, and she was always friendly and professional. She was also even able to find a couple extra air mattresses for our group who didn't want to share beds. 

We didn't end up spending much time in the house due to all the amazing things Austin has to offer, but the house had a ton of open space and was perfectly set up to accommodate our group.  The only small hiccup was an electrical storm that knocked out the power for a few hours. 

I'd recommend Eunice and this property to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
354542,13083223,2014-05-19,1690827,Jeremy,Great place!
354542,27293872,2015-03-01,12478992,Harsha,Very responsive and friendly host. Beautifully decorated home in a great location. Cool roof deck (though the rain prevented us from enjoying). Stayed here for a bachelor party and all loved the house.
354542,28083264,2015-03-17,387592,Brandi,"Great property, high quality, roof deck was awesome."
354542,28706117,2015-03-29,26692483,Troy,A group of my friends meet up every year in a new location for a long weekend. This year was Austin. Kim's house was exactly what we were looking for. She was also very responsive when I had questions. The house is amazing and perfect for a medium size group. It's a great setting for a group of friends or a family. The area is great too. Close to the airport and a great part of Austin. I would absolutely stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others.
354542,30198155,2015-04-19,11706560,Adam,Everything was as described.  The neighborhood was probably what we call up and coming so a little sketchy looking but defiantly no reason not to be there.  It's a bit of a hop skip and a jump to the bar scene if you're looking to party but the spaces awesome.
354542,33111622,2015-05-25,5837086,Raymond,"Eunice was extremely responsive and helpful before our arrival and gave us so many tips re: her neighborhood and local eating joints.  House was immaculate and extremely modern.  The house is so technologically advanced it impressed a group of 8 tech guys- and even confused some.  As seen in most reviews, the master bedroom shower is totally impressive.  We had to impose time limits on the various people that used it.  Location is great- we walked to DT Austin (10-15 min.) walk and an Uber that cost less than $10.  Totally recommend it!!"
354542,34310674,2015-06-07,31245025,Steve,"We stayed here for a bachelor party the weekend of June 5th.  The location is terrific, an easy walk to east 6th street bars, and no more than a ten minute cab to downtown.  The house is really cool - great furnishings (including a fancy new curved TV), nice stereo, and roof deck (though June in Texas is too hot for roofdecks we discovered).  The house was also immaculately clean and well prepared for guests.  We had 8 people in the house and we pretty much filled it up, though we had no couples so if you were traveling as couples you could fit more.  All in all a great experience and would highly recommend."
354542,39854381,2015-07-26,10336189,Zach,"Eunice was a great host and had her home exactly as described.  We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend her home.  There was plenty of space for 7 adults.  The house was very clean when we arrived.  The automated front door lock was a huge bonus for a group of coming in at different times.  The house is walking distance to plenty of restaurants, coffee and bars.  Plus an uber makes getting downtown easy as well.  "
354542,41802198,2015-08-09,14591138,Melissa,I hosted a 10 person bachelorette party at Eunice's beautiful home in east ATX and we had a fantastic time!  The house is absolutely beautiful and spacious enough for multiple ladies to spread out and find their own little place to snooze.  The kitchen had everything that we needed for the party (and more) and Eunice even left a sweet note and gift basket of sorts for the bride!  The master bedroom was a lot of fun with the loft and GIANT shower.  Cocktails on the rooftop patio were a lot of fun.  The best part about the house is the location!  We didn't have an uber ride that was over 5.00.  Communication was fast and effective.  I have no complaints.
354542,45962967,2015-09-07,1275225,Chris,"Eunice and the house were both awesome! The house is about a 5 min uber from the action so not too far but is the most tech'd out house I've seen - modern decor, curved TV, chromecast, speakers, TOTO electric toilets, 8 head shower, etc. The group of 9 of us all slept comfortably with only 1 bed needing to be shared. Was a bit too hot for the roof deck but the option plus a garage door opening to the living room were cool. Best of all Eunice was super helpful, communicative and left us a fully stocked fridge, snacks, and cocktail materials. Our group had a blast, were comfy, and couldn't have happened without Eunice's awesome hosting and help!"
354542,46771336,2015-09-13,42219033,Nakul,Great place to stay for a large group looking to have a fun time together! Great host and great location! This house and host greatly exceeded our expectations!
354542,47671588,2015-09-21,35901568,Brian,"My group had a great time at Eunice's place! The house is very unique, and the location was perfect for us as a home base to explore Austin. She was very available to answer questions we had during the weekend, and made us feel welcome with a small food/drink basket upon arrival. The shower is unreal too."
354542,48642989,2015-09-27,42385903,Armando,"Kim was a fantastic host. She provided us with our favorite beer upon arrival, and was extremely flexible with check in and check out time. This house is amazing, and we comfortably fit the 10 people in our group. The parking area in the back is also a great place for the group to relax. Location is great, as downtown is only a short uber away. "
354542,49432180,2015-10-04,718980,Maureen,The house was very nice.  Loved the rooftop. The location was accurately described.  The host left us a nice welcome note with some goodies which was very thoughtful.  
354542,50433484,2015-10-12,24092712,Justin,This place was perfect for our stay in Austin. Central to everything you need! And the hosts provided everything we needed. 
354542,51158073,2015-10-18,35636658,Connor,"Kim was an excellent host! Her house proved to be the perfect Home Base for our Austin day trips, and uber rides to 6th street in the evenings. The furnishings are very modern and luxurious. Sleeping space for 8 was not an issue whatsoever! The entertainment system was second to none, as well as the fully equipped kitchen. It is easy to see that no expense was spared in preparation for our visit, and it is very much appreciated! We will definitely be using Kim again for future trips to Austin!"
5629827,46097272,2015-09-07,43305502,Ibrahim,"This was my first time using AirBnB and it was a pleasant experience.
Edwin was a great host. The apartment is as described and located conveniently close to many activities in Austin. 
He does have a cool cat named Johnson. He kept mostly to himself but occasionally will do his rounds of inspection :). 
I would consider staying here on my next visit and/or recommending to a friend."
5629827,48158477,2015-09-23,7919210,Dave,The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2002825,10908278,2014-03-12,187239,Guilherme,"Amazing host and experience! The house is brand new, very clean, comfortable, great location, close to Downtown, and has everything you need (and more). Our stay in Austin for the SXSW cloud not be the same without Zac, a cool guy and great host. Would definitely stay again for my next visit to Austin."
2002825,12311010,2014-04-28,14406365,Mikey,"Great house, great location, great owner!!"
2002825,18329902,2014-08-25,18169093,Dan,"Everything about our stay was beyond what we expected! From the house itself, to the amenities and service Zac provided, our group could not have been more impressed. I can honestly say I wouldn't stay anywhere else if planning a future group trip to Austin. Zac had a huge part in making our trip as memorable as it was!"
2002825,21592112,2014-10-20,20820789,Justin,"Overall this is an excellent place to stay.  House is new, clean and has great style and function.  Really enjoyed hanging out here with 8 guys for a bachelor weekend in Austin.  Huge TV downstairs for watching sports/movies and others located in rooms throughout the house.  Sound system was very cool and we could easily connect our phones and play music throughout the entire house.  The deck right off the living room is a great place to hang when the weather is nice.  Huge island in Kitchen is a great place to gather and it is completely open to the living room.

Host provided some snacks and a basket of things that we might find useful during our stay.  This exceeded my expectations.  

The location is classic east Austin.  The neighborhood feels safe and we walked many places because the weather was absolutely perfect.  We walked to Rainey Street, Juan in a Million, and John Mueller Meat Co.  Cabs from the 6th street area were less than $15.  Uber drivers were quick to pick us up for further destinations. "
2002825,21894977,2014-10-26,2859023,Mara,"We felt very welcomed, the house was nice and clean, and there where all kinds of extra's (in the bathroom, the full fridge, taco's for breamfast). It's a very comfortable and relaxed home. "
2002825,22595074,2014-11-10,22205475,Eric,"Highly recommend! Zac had the place ready for us with all the amenities listed as available on the homepage.  The house itself is amazing; very clean, modern, spacious and just a short Uber to 6th.  The 2nd floor deck was a great spot to hang outside with the mini-fridge/furniture & TV.  There are also some good food(barbeque/taco/other) trucks right around the area which we walked to and from a few times. Definitely made our first trip to Austin amazing, having this place to stay. 5/5"
2002825,27337204,2015-03-02,26817829,Sean,"Awesome house, very clean, and the array of toiletries was impressive.   Zac's recommendations for the area were spot.  Our group of 8 guys had a blast.  For the meals that we stayed in, the fully equipped kitchen made cooking for group easy as well.  The outdoor spaces, two second story patios and a first floor deck, were great for entertaining."
2002825,28067136,2015-03-17,9094644,Mario,"INCREDIBLE. This place totally exceeded expectations in every way. Zac and Heather stocked the house with nearly every amenity you could anticipate (and some you probably couldn't). Each room was chock full of thoughtful additions to help make our stay amazing -- phone chargers, mouth wash, fresh towels, etc. They even stocked the fridge with fresh ingredients to make breakfast tacos, and that was definitely appreciated. Their listing more than lived up to it's description, it surpassed it entirely. During our stay, we truly felt like home. We had an absolutely wonderful experience here, and I will definitely look them up again when I return to Austin.

P.S. the deck/porch on the second floor is so relaxing. Perfect place to enjoy a bottle (or bottles) of wine while listening to music, playing games, or just talking for hours on end. So awesome..."
2002825,28669720,2015-03-28,7656058,Amy,"The house and the host were both fantastic! Not only did Zac accommodate all of our requests, he was also available for questions throughout the entire weekend. I came for bachelorette party for 9 girls. We all fit very comfortably and loved hanging out on the porch and downstairs deck. Easy cab to Rainey Street or downtown. Would absolutely recommend this spot!"
2002825,29865224,2015-04-13,1559979,Peter,Awesome place to stay!
2002825,30765193,2015-04-27,19848631,Kevin,"What a great place! My friends and I came down for a bachelor party and the place was perfect. Great set up, great sound system, great balconies and a great host. Zac hooked us up with food to make breakfast tacos, a bottle of rum to make mojitos and information about stuff to do around Austin. Overall great experience!"
2002825,34397768,2015-06-08,25793330,Paul,I brought a group of 10 guys to this house. Everyone was blown away by how nice the place was and the location. The house is right in the heat of everything and a quick uber/lyft/walk to some really enjoyable parts of the city. We were a quick car ride from Campbell's hole & deep eddy (a must if visiting in warm months!) Zac and his Fiance had the house loaded with breakfast taco ingredients and toiletries . Very accommodating and would stay at this location again in a heart beat!
2002825,47907321,2015-09-21,8349328,Eric,"I had a great stay here while in Austin. I was with a group of 8 and we were able to fit comfortably with the help of an air mattress provided by Zac. Nice sound system, phenomenal location and smooth check-in/check-out. "
699018,3044157,2012-12-08,2438889,Matt,Katherine was a very helpful host. The place was very clean and nice and in a generally convenient location for our trip.
699018,3571051,2013-02-18,2844659,Sarah,"Katherine was a very prompt and responsive host. The property was 
accessible to local eateries/store/conveniences and highway accessible 
while at the same time being quiet and feeling private. While the single 
bathroom was a bit tight for 5 people, the rest of the house was spacious 
with a good sized kitchen and outdoor area for communal activities."
2295892,11060205,2014-03-18,5475183,James,"We had a great time staying at Lindsay's apartment in Austin. The apartment is very well situated - a couple of miles from Downtown, on a street with some good restaurants also on it. There are regular buses into town. The apartment itself is well equipped, comfortable and homely.
Lindsay went out of her way to accommodate us. 
I'd highly recommend both Lindsay's apartment and Austin. "
5546393,28183348,2015-03-19,3754311,Ryan,"Perfect! Place was large yet cozy, clean and organized and the perfect location for our needs."
2396602,10886262,2014-03-11,1653918,Meredith,"Hayley and Anthony were such amazing hosts! Hayley made sure to meet us at the house when we came to show us everything and give us tips on the neighborhood. The house was clean and very accommodating. She even left us some snacks (so sweet). I stayed with three of my colleagues for SXSWi and it couldn't have been more perfect with three separate comfortable places for us to sleep. The area is really great with many shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance. It was cold and rainy when we came down but they had a sweet little backyard with a fire furnace on the porch which we didn't get a chance to use. I couldn't recommend this house any more highly! A+++ "
2396602,18838752,2014-09-01,3759865,Rob,This place was fantastic. I highly recommend it. 
2396602,20895071,2014-10-07,2773780,Ben,Great house and location. Anthony and Hayley are very nice and accommodating. I would recommend their place to anybody that's coming to visit Austin. 
2396602,21199429,2014-10-13,16535167,Mercedes,Hayley and Anthony were great hosts from helpful information in the manual and snacks that were left out just for us. The neighborhood was awesome. We were in a great location for ACL. 
2396602,22362630,2014-11-04,9597741,Jammy,"Hayley and Anthony were amazing hosts.  I just stayed over the F1 weekend,  great location, close to downtown and not far from track.  clean, tidy, everything you need and they really made sure we knew were things were and looked after us.

Would Highly recommend

"
2396602,22614326,2014-11-10,23029504,Claire,"Hayley and Anthony were great to work with - very quick to respond and offer help.  The house is precious and was very clean!  A little off the beaten path, but really nicely renovated and comfy.  There was a pretty strong odor - clear that there was a dog there recently - but we opened the windows and that helped.  Also an easy and cheap uber ride to tons of restaurants, food trucks, and shopping!"
2396602,26947011,2015-02-22,14981812,Debra,"The stay was really good.  House was very neat, clean and comfortable.  Bigger then I expected.  Back yard is large and neat.  The beds were great.  There is a doggy odor and I believe if the runner rug in master bed room  was removed it would make that problem better.  More wash clothes were needed.  Neighborhood was real nice and interesting."
2396602,28115813,2015-03-18,91709,Rebecca,"Hayley & Anthony's home was all I hoped it would be, from the check-in experience to the layout to the linens. The home is quiet and welcoming, with great light and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. My colleague and I loved that it's located close to SoCo but tucked away. Don't even get me started on the hammock, which was heaven after a long day of SXSW programming. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up for Hayley, for Anthony & for this property. "
2396602,28473403,2015-03-24,7184504,Ashley,"Hayley and Anthony were wonderful hosts! Anthony met our group at check in and showed us around. He also took the time to answer all our Austin questions and give us some great food/drink/activity recommendations. The house looks exactly like the photos--it's beautiful and clean. The beds were very comfortable, and the house slept four of us perfectly, with one of us sleeping on the large couch. One major highlight: the shower in the master bathroom! Overall it was a great experience and we'd definitely book again if we returned to Austin."
2396602,29360993,2015-04-06,6742935,Erik,"Great place to stay and very close to Austin downtown. The perfect way to have a more social setting as a group than staying at a hotel, with all amenities available for cooking at home. Highly recommended."
2396602,29994716,2015-04-15,21192167,Clint,I had a wonderful stay at this lovely home. It is beautifully decorated and was exceptionally clean.  I slept really well in a very comfortable bed and the kitchen is well-appointed. The hosts were exceptional about getting me set up at the house. Hope to stay here again on my next trip. 
2396602,30710455,2015-04-26,8924549,Maureen,"This is a beautiful, spotless, comfortable home with modern conviences in a quiet neigborhood.  The location is close to great resturants, food shopping and access to main roads.  Hayley and Anthony made us feel right at home with extra touches.  I would stay here again and not heasitate recommending this home to others. "
2396602,32175602,2015-05-15,17089990,Donna,"What an amazing experience; Hayley and Anthony were so incredibly welcoming for me and my family. We arrived to crackers and wine set out for us after a long flight in from NYC. Despite my daughter bouncing off the walls (sorry Hayley) as our host explained the lay of the land she couldn't have been more gracious. The home was simply wonderful and just what we needed during our trip. We enjoyed the backyard and hammock and felt so comfortable at the house. I was there for business so my daughter and Mom got to enjoy days there relaxing while not visiting local sites. I would return no problem and thank them for being wonderful hosts. The location was perfect; I had to get downtown daily but was an easy cab ride. I also got to run a little while there and it was easy to get down to the River and enjoy the walking/running paths. Thank you for a wonderful visit to Austin, it was our first trip but we hope to return to this amazing city!"
2396602,33444999,2015-05-28,31181367,Garrick,I never got to meet Hayley and Anthony but their accommodation was a little gem. Spotless and central in a quiet neighbourhood but central to the nightlife and everything that makes Austin one helleva awesome place. Staying here was the cherry on the cake to a fantastic experience in a most magnificent city. I would recommend this accommodation and it's fantastic hosts every day of the week! Thank you both. We'll be back! :)
2396602,34447738,2015-06-08,11156488,Blair,"Hayley and Anthony were fantastic hosts - I can honestly say this is the best Air BnB I've stayed in thus far! The house is updated and adorable, with all the amenities you would want. Hayley has a binder put together of all necessary information for the house which makes it easy to remember, and she has stocked the bathrooms and kitchen with everything you would need toiletry and food wise. 

But the best part is that Hayley is super accessible if you have questions and very quick with the recommendations. She gave us great food and bar recommendations, as well as daytime activities. 

I would NOT hesitate to stay here again - in fact, I can't imagine staying anywhere else!"
2396602,49786164,2015-10-06,25641419,Kelsey,This is a great South Austin house. We stayed in it for weekend 1 ACL. The uber ride was very inexpensive to zilker park. The homeowners had snacks and refreshments waiting for us. Four of us stayed in the house so it was nice to have 2 bathrooms. The house was very clean and well decorated. Thanks for welcoming us to your home!! 
2396602,50621089,2015-10-13,27184933,Alexis,We stayed here for Austin City Limits. Everything worked out great! The house was clean and the perfect size for four guests. Hayley and Anthony were extremely accommodating. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. 
2396602,52039629,2015-10-26,3720955,David,"Trendy fun area of Austin. Comfortable house that is outfitted nicely. Gracious hosts.  Hayley met us at the house, showed us how to use everything and gave us great tips on where to shop, eat and drink in the area. SoCo has developed so much that we did not even go north of the river for night time dining and entertainment. Would definitely stay here again."
3709340,28093817,2015-03-17,25917399,Tayo,"What can I say? This was a marvelous experience. For me what I enjoyed more even beyond his hospitality were the conversations we had. I highly recommend him and look forward to connecting even more. 

Beyond five stars!"
2266107,10904051,2014-03-12,6481487,Matt,"Andrea was incredibly accommodating as a host and made sure the apartment had everything we needed. I cannot overstate how gorgeous and spotless the apartment was, and the fact that she was able to adapt to our schedules was fantastic. What a great host and as fantastic an apartment I've seen."
2266107,26738740,2015-02-18,701684,Rachel,"Andrea is the consummate host: she is generously accommodating about her guests travel schedules and will attempt to cater to your every request. I also cannot overstate the comfort and luxury of her condo. Staying with Andrea felt like booking a suite at a high-end hotel. The condo is clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, and filled with enjoyable amenities like magazines, fresh fruit, and candles. Andrea's place also has many windows (lots of light!), a balcony, dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, flat screen TV and Bose stereo. She ensures that you are able to make yourself right at home!

The complex's Market District location is ideal and you should take advantage of the fitness center, pool and hot tub. I will definitely be staying here during my next trip to Austin!"
2266107,32480448,2015-05-18,2679572,Mark,"We arrived a little earlier than expected in Austin and decided to head to a bar before checking in to the apartment. This gave us a great impression about how close we were to some of the main nightlife.
When we checked in, we were very impressed with the apartment - it was clean, extremely comfortable and there were all the amenities we were looking for. It also had a view over a creek with some turtles and we could really hear the nature - unlike our NYC apartment. Lauren had also left a selection of drinks so we could settle immediately. Parking was also excellent in a secured part of the block.
Continued from our initial impression, we found the apartment to be as well located as I could imagine any apartment could be within walking distance of most places and a short drive to all others. The tips and recommendations that had been left were also extremely useful in helping guide us around the city for our short stay.
I would definitely recommend this apartment and Lauren as a host. If we are visiting Austin again, I will be in touch again to see if this is available."
2266107,38634933,2015-07-17,19926615,Julia,"Lauren was wonderful to communicate with in order to arrange our arrival and anything we needed during the stay, she also was very flexible on check in and check out times. Her apartment is beautifully decorated and has all you could need, it is also super centrally located and she left a long list of nearby recommendations which was very helpful too! Would definitely recommend this place and this host! "
1773370,49587554,2015-10-05,28198502,John,"Ben was very helpful when it came to checking in and handling some parking confusion we had during ACL. 

We had a group of four (2 couples). The apartment was perfect for ACL. We walked to the festival everyday. Although the apartment had no TV, this was not a problem for us since we were not in Austin to watch TV.

All in all, the apartment was perfect for what we needed it for. Would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to stay during ACL. "
1773370,50614018,2015-10-13,13243592,Kevin,"The fact that this listing shows no pictures of the inside of the apartment should have been a warning sign to me.  The interior condition of the apartment was unacceptably dirty.  

We checked in on Thursday evening and met the host at the apartment.  I made the mistake of being in a hurry to drop off our stuff and go get dinner when we checked in and didn't properly check the cleanliness.  If I had, I would have refused to check in and would have demanded a full refund.

The main problem: the bathroom was filthy.  There was black gunk (not stained grout, this was thick and built up) all over the edges of the tub.  The tub basin itself was very dirty.  The toilet had brown stains inside and looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.  There was only a half roll of toilet paper, and no soap.

The kitchen wasn't much better, with dirty sinks and countertops, and general clutter.  Additionally, there was a thick layer of dust caking the primary air vent in the living room.  

We documented these issues with pictures and requested a professional cleaning of the apartment on Friday morning.  Ben assured us that everything would be dealt with.  We were at Austin City Limits festival all day, and didn't return until approximately 10pm.  It looked as if someone had come in and quickly wiped down the bathroom and air vent, but hadn't really addressed the total issue.  There was still the black gunk along the edges of the tub (I was able to scrape it off using a tissue), and the kitchen wasn't addressed at all.

I found this unacceptable and complained to Ben, who offered to refund us for the 3 remaining nights.  We took him up on the offer and checked into a hotel downtown that luckily had a couple of available rooms due to last minute cancellations.  This ended up costing us about $150 in extra expenses in parking and transportation to and from Zilker park.

Overall, It really seemed like the host hadn't taken the time to prepare his place for other people to stay in it.  I would recommend that Ben hire a house cleaner to do a full deep cleaning of this apartment before he expects anyone else to stay there.  

The location of the place is really great.  If the cleanliness issues were addressed this would be a nice place to stay.

5022293,28207191,2015-03-20,6327202,Melissa,"We stayed with Jon during SXSW.  Jon's house is  in South Austin about a mile outside of downtown--just far enough from the craziness, but still very accessible.  He is quite a gracious host and a cool dude too.  He prepared a welcoming package with information packet and a wealth of personal information about the city.  He is a very personable, charming guy who was always receptive to any questions.  The home is quite nice with all of the necessities to make you feel at home.  Otherwise, it was a quiet, clean place that made it easy to get some rest.  The bathroom is directly outside your door and is, well, a clean, nice place.  The neighborhood is quite quaint with plenty of restaurants/food trucks within a couple of blocks--we highly recommend some frozen margaritas at Polvo's (get a second, but definitely not a third--made that mistake) and BBQ from Brown's BBQ truck.  In addition, there is a bus stop on the same block that goes directly into downtown via 1st--super convenient.  This was our first time staying in a private room on AirBnB and must say this was a great experience.  Five stars Jon.  We truly appreciate the hospitality."
5169534,27903350,2015-03-14,28882590,Nicholas,"The place was immaculate!  Nice hardwood floors, granite countertops, modern fixtures, and the bed was almost too comfortable.  The complex is quiet and close to HEB and lots of recreational activities.  Kenneth responded quickly and was very helpful.  "
5169534,27983015,2015-03-15,5146173,Manish,Great stay.  Easy transaction.  Place as advertised.  Close to downtown.  Will love to stay again.
5169534,28048774,2015-03-16,27798522,Snow,"Kenneth was a great host. From the very beginning he was responsive and accommodating. He answered all my questions quickly and gave great advice when it came to Austin. He even checked in on me after check out to see if I enjoyed my stay. The apartment was clean and exactly as described. Don't let the apartment complex fool you, the apartment was modern and updated. Also the bed was so comfortable I could have slept all day! The location could not have been more perfect. Close to 6th and Downtown and we were able to Uber everywhere for a fairly cheap price. Overall a great experience and will defiantly use this location again when I come back to Austin!"
5169534,28113127,2015-03-17,3136326,Mike,Great host. Great location easy access to downtown Austin.
5169534,28186851,2015-03-19,4960149,Steve,"I was in town for SXSW (for work) and needed a place to stay and kenneth's place was just what I needed -- a quiet, clean, and comfortable place! Easy to check in, and the coffee was delicious! "
5169534,28448266,2015-03-23,26509983,Geovana,"This place was exactly how it was in the picture! Beautiful finishes in a great location right near downtown. I attended SXSW and it was a quick 10 minute drive. There was a nice pool where I hung out at the end of my long days. The bed is a death trap lol thee MOST COMFORTABLE! Definitely a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin! I know where I'll be staying next year for when I attend SXSW, Thank you Kenneth! "
5169534,28684886,2015-03-28,1615584,Maggie,"Kenneth was incredibly helpful leading up to our trip. He made himself available through email and text if we had any questions or needed anything in advance. 
He was very sweetly concerned that his cleaning service had not removed towels from the dryer and that we would mind having to retrieve them ourselves. It is this attention to detail that makes Kenneth such a great host. "
5169534,28759585,2015-03-29,29885314,Joy,The apartment was very clean and as described. Kenneth was very helpful and available when I needed. If I was visiting Austin and using airbnb I would stay here again.
5169534,29358712,2015-04-06,15491105,Mary,Kenneth's apartment was quiet and centrally located. Uber is a great way to get around and super affordable from his place! The bed was crazy comfortable. I would stay here again when I come back to Austin. 
5169534,29934077,2015-04-14,29546399,David,"This was my first experience with AirBnB and I was skeptical. Kenneth was very receptive of my questions and concerns and was ALWAYS available to communicate with me. I genuinely felt like I was talking to a person and not a business mogul. The instructions were clear and concise. My first time visiting Austin and I didn't know what to expect but I was pleasantly suprised. His place was clean, cozy, and the finishes were all beautiful. As many previous reviewers had mentioned the bed is extremely comfortable, which made getting up early so hard to do everyday. I love the concept of the beer available in the fridge and paying It forward for future patrons to enjoy. After flying in, that was the first thing I wanted, a cold beer. The coffee and teas available was also a great addition. At night my girlfriend and I enjoyed watching a movie and unwinding while watching some Netflix. Much appreciated. Kenneth provided us with a list of things to do and places to eat. I wish we would have had more time to do even just a few, but we came to Austin for a specific thing and it occupied the majority of our time. None the less, we enjoyed every minute we spent in Austin and in a collective, kenneth ' s place and hospitality really tied the whole experience together. Coming from LA, the city, we aren't so accustomed to the Texas hospitality but we were met with open arms the entire way. Thank you Kenneth, we truly hope to do this again. I highly recommend anyone considering spending some time in Austin, Kenneth and his place are without question worth your time and investment."
5169534,30323749,2015-04-20,29328137,Kim,"This was my first and probably best airbnb experience ever! Ken was so helpful by recommending amazing food spots and places to go. I felt that I had a person your guide! Apartment complex was quiet and neighbors were very friendly and welcoming. His bed is extremely comfortable, I was sad to leave! Great location, short run or walk to beautiful scenery. I would definitely come back and stay at kens place, wouldn't have it any other way! "
5169534,30532576,2015-04-23,14339435,Jennifer,"The apartment is exactly as described. It is in a great location. Easy commute/walk to Downtown. If you decide to stay here, walk to the Buzzmill for a drink. It has great happy hours!"

Kenneth was very courteous and checked up every few days to make sure everything was going smoothly. The pool was a great way to relax in the day time. The amenities were great, had everything from cooking supplies to beer and water in the fridge. Highly recommended.  "
5169534,32583123,2015-05-19,10274535,Nicole,"The place was awesome. Had everything we needed, and only about a 5 minute drive from downtown. (Wouldn't say walking is an option) Looks just like the pictures! This was my first time using Air BnB and was weary at first, but Kenneth was an awesome host! He made the process very easy and was always in contact checking to make sure everything was running smoothly. Would definitely recommend this place. Kenneth was very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay."

5169534,33283586,2015-05-26,12036283,Karina,"Kenneth was very easy to talk to, always accessible and he constantly followed up making sure we were settled in, it was a nice balance between feeling taken care of without been too pushy. I loved the pay it forward approach! Hope the next guests or Kenneth will enjoy the drinks we left for you!
The building was very quiet, considering that I was traveling with a 19 month old, it was very very critical. I had no issue at all! Highly recommended for a small family. 
I liked it's simplicity, easy to check in, easy to access, minimalist style. 
I don't particularly think this was a great location, I can certainly not see myself walking in the neighborhood. That said, it was very accessible and close to downtown, the airport, other walkable areas. This is just a personal impression, I am sure other people may disagree with my opinion. "
5169534,34093579,2015-06-04,2222365,Stuart,"Great place in a good area easily accessible to town lake, the trail and downtown. Kenneth was a great host leaving detailed instructions. I wouldn't hesitate to use his place again.   "
5169534,34431277,2015-06-08,5362518,Meriem & Alex,The place was clean and if you don't have a car you can go downtown for $8 with Uber. Kenneth followed up and was accessible during our stay
5169534,35190726,2015-06-15,12419068,John,"Kenneth's place was awesome! Crazy comfortable bed, beautiful, spotless and fully updated place, lots of young people in the complex and the area felt extremely safe. Parking right out front, an abundance of towels and a roku with Netflix! Aside from the place, Kenneth was an awesome host! Although he wasn't there in person he maintained constant contact with me via AirBnb and was quick to give awesome food and entertainment suggestions and to make sure we were enjoying our stay! It's an 8 min. drive to sixth street and downtown, so close we were actually driving back and forth to return to the apartment as often as we needed. One of my top 5 AirBnb experiences, and I've seen em all!"
5169534,36252914,2015-06-26,36638343,Leanne,"Description/pictures exactly as described/shown. Super clean and nice, way better than a hotel. The pool was great and the neighbors friendly. It was super easy to get to and into and I would definitely book again with Kenneth! Thanks so much!"
5169534,36924015,2015-07-02,29055489,Lisa,Great location! Close enough to everything we wanted to see but far enough away so that it felt like we had a peaceful oasis to come back to. It served our needs great and our pup was welcome too! 
5169534,37599259,2015-07-08,36169330,Erica,"This place was great. Everything we did was either in walking distance or only a short Uber ride away. Kenneth gave us recommendations on places to eat, grab drinks, and listen to good music. We had a great time. "
5169534,37722108,2015-07-09,26220704,Trinity,"We really enjoyed our stay...a short drive to everything we needed.  Ken was so accommodating, I booked with only a few hours notice.  Apartment was beautiful and very clean. I would absolutely stay again and would recommend to anyone checking out Austin!!"
5169534,40038714,2015-07-27,35950139,Stephen,"Kenneth was an awesome host. The check-in/check-out instructions he provided prior to arrival were very thorough, making it really easy. He also checked-in with me after arrival to make sure everything was satisfactory. The place was exactly as what is portrayed in the pictures. Like most other reviews as well, the bed was comfortable making it hard to get up in the mornings. Kenneth provided plenty of the essential amenities for a comfortable stay. Kenneth has a ""beer it forward"" policy where if you take beer from the fridge, you leave some for the next stay. This was a great idea and something I definitely partook in. The location of the place was excellent. Only a $7 UberX trip from the apartment to Rainey street and convenient to a bunch of cool Austin things (town lake, 6th street, etc) but it was also just far enough to provide a quiet stay. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely look into staying at the place again when I go back to Austin. "
5169534,40295345,2015-07-29,12884053,Kyle,"The was extremely clean and convenient. Although we never met, Ken has been more than helpful in sharing great places in the area! I highly recommend him!"
5169534,41003859,2015-08-03,15543477,Cj,Kenneth's place was exactly as described. Extremely clean and organized and perfect for a weekend getaway. Excellent location that is within a short distance of everything Austin has to offer. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants a nice quiet place to relax while also enjoying the great city of Austin. I would definitely stay again if I am in the area!

5169534,43342633,2015-08-18,2278905,Scott,This was my first time booking somewhere to stay other than a hotel and it was the best experience I've ever had. Kenneth was very helpful and always responded when ever I had questions and even gave me ideas on different places to go.The place was very cozy and I felt right at home. Everything was about 8 minutes away so the location was perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

5169534,43713636,2015-08-21,3022729,Jane,"Kenneth's place was great - nice, big, spacious, in good condition, and as specified in the profile.  Kenneth was a great host always provided the right information, in regards to check in, the condo, and answered any questions we had.  Is about 2.5 miles to downtown, and there are heaps of cool restaurants nearby - including Baby Acupulco and Threadgills. Overall i recommend staying at Kenneth's house."
5169534,43873211,2015-08-22,41579286,Thu,"My stay at Kenneth's place was somewhat unsatisfactory.  I agree that he had a nice, contemporary interior; however, his check in time was ridiculously late (7:30pm), contradicting with the listing time of 2pm.  It's a simple bachelor's pad.  The bathroom needed more attention. The presence of mildew in the bathtub was not pretty.  The positive side was the comfy bed and sofa. Hopefully, he would be more prepared for the next guest."
5169534,45800884,2015-09-06,24580865,Luis,"We had an Awesome time in Austin!  Kenneth was a great host and communication was awesome.

5169534,47724438,2015-09-21,25899445,Nick,I opened the wrong side of the closet and saw a Cowboys jersey...but I didn't hold that against Kenneth! This is one of the cleanest and best-valued AirBNBs my wife and I have stayed. We grilled by the pool and had easy access to downtown. Will definitely return.
5169534,49776525,2015-10-06,2034801,Priscilla,"There was great communication from Kenneth. He provided simple and detailed instructions. Downtown is about 3 miles away and very easy to get to. An HEB is in walking distance. The apartment is spacious and a good place to crash in, but it was a bit dusty. A blanket/pillow for the couch was missing. "
5169534,51404855,2015-10-19,46576451,Colleen,"The place was great, just how it is in the pictures, and the host was awesome and answered all of my questions. My only complaint is against the previous tenants for leaving only boxed sangria in the fridge :P I would stay here again."
8628158,51360459,2015-10-19,33347175,Ashley,We enjoyed  staying at Gino's place. Great location close enough to downtown without being right in it.  He was very friendly and willing to work with our odd time schedule of arrival and departure.
373509,28307077,2015-03-22,11113764,Czarina,"Loved staying at Wendy's place! We were here for SXSW. There was three of us so I stayed in the loft while my two friends were on a queen air mattress in the living room. She was so kind to pick me up from the airport and she even provided toiletries and wine for us. Her place was beautiful and her backyard is lush with green trees and an amazing view. Getting downtown was easy with the 30 bus being a short walk or a 10 minute drive (just remember how to get there because some people are unfamiliar with the area, it is somewhat hidden).  I'd definitely recommend staying here!"
373509,50436465,2015-10-12,32696011,Michael,Great experience staying here for ACL. Wendy was a very gracious host and provided us with toiletries and a six pack of local IPA's. The location is perfect for anyone looking to stay near downtown Austin. It was perfect walking distance to ACL. Overall a great place to stay and would recommend. 
938175,8837554,2013-11-20,9757029,Lærke,Julia and Clarissa where cool and fun hosts. They helped us a lot and gave useful tips and tricks for Austin. Bus is right outside the house if you want to go downtown. Would recommend a car for trips outside the City center. Room and house is so cute and the dogs are lovely. Would recommend! 
938175,28490466,2015-03-24,28529101,Gaby,"La casa de Clarisse y Julia es muy cómoda. Tiene detalles hermosos, una apacible terraza, completamente equipada para una estadía cómoda y está en un barrio tranquilo.
Las chicas fueron muy amables ayudándonos a movernos por la ciudad y compartiéndonos información que nos facilitó la estadía.
Las super recomiendo."
938175,33387943,2015-05-27,16836700,Joe,"Clarisse and Julia were great, and so was their place! We were in town for a few days for an event not far away on E. 12th street and their cool and cozy house was in the perfect location for all the back and forth. They were very generous... provided towels, washer/dryer, snacks and beer and espresso for their machine. We had a great time in Austin, much due to the sweet place we got to stay in. Unfortunately we couldn't use the fire pit and smoker because of the storms, but if the weather was better we would have been out back most of the time. Half the reason I picked their place was for the huge screened-in porch and great backyard setup. The neighbors were super friendly with lots of stuff nearby. Clarisse and Julia were also awesome enough to mail me the clothes that I accidentally left in their dryer. Definitely recommend them and their place!"
938175,50626346,2015-10-13,10261521,Audrey,We had such a wonderful time! There were 5 of us and we had plenty of space. The outside screened porch was our favorite part of the house The girls were very helpful and great hosts! We were just a 10mb car ride to most anywhere we went.

The place was great! We comfortably fit four of us and really enjoyed the amenities the complex offered. There's no advantages booking a hotel over this place, it wins everytime hands down!

Thanks again for having us Lindsey!
"
4047604,22298186,2014-11-03,21019512,Matt,Lindsey was great about working with our moving target of an arrival time. I can only hope that we didn't inconvenience her too much.  The apartment is great! Walking in the front door you get a great view of the greenery and the river!  Garage parking was a huge plus along with the close proximity to downtown venues. 
4047604,22583884,2014-11-10,18927804,Deanna,"PERFECT! Lindsey is a perfect host. As an experienced traveler, she is aware to welcome you, make sure that you have everything you need and do her own thing yet be available with a quick text or phone call. Her condo is beautiful right on the lake (there is a fantastic boardwalk for walks or runs) with two bedrooms and extremely comfortable beds and two bathrooms which was helpful with so many of us staying. There were 6 of us in town for a wedding and were all quite comfortable. We were able to cook/make our breakfasts which saved us a bit on our food budget as well. Lindsey also had an air mattress and a futon (futon is in one of the bedrooms) which helped out. Starbucks coffee is FREE in the lobby which is beautiful near the stunning pool area. There is also a washer/dryer in the unit which we made use of. The only small drawback of the location is that it is right along I-35 which makes for some slight traffic noise which should be mentioned, however the Hotel my mom and aunt stayed in was as well, as many of the hotels are, so for the price, comfort and convenience, this was definitely the right choice for us. Thanks Lindsey!!"
4047604,28383858,2015-03-23,5308256,Karmen,"Lindsey was a great host, she was flexible with check-in/check-out time and was very welcoming. The apartment is exactly as advertised, and I very much enjoyed my stay. While not directly in a central location, it is relatively close to both South Congress and Rainey/Sixth street. Our group did a mix of Uber/walking/driving to get around. 

The view from her porch is great (especially if you're a morning person like me)!"
4047604,28736087,2015-03-29,29107450,Robin,Description was accurate.  Location & view was exactly what we were looking for.  Did have a lot of noise from traffic though we got used to it by the end of our stay.  Wish the blinds in bedrooms blocked more light in the mornings.  Overall it was perfect for our needs.
4047604,35868877,2015-06-22,11947859,Kevin,"We stayed at Lindey's apartment for a short weekend trip to Austin, and it was everything we wanted and needed. Her place was exactly as described, and a very convenient location. It as walking distance to Rainey Street and a short uber ride from everything else we did that weekend. I would definitely recommend staying here, and look forward to coming back again soon! "
4047604,37200070,2015-07-05,7207089,Camille Joy,"My family and I had a great time staying at Lindsey's place. It was very clean and the view of Lady Bird Lake from the balcony was beautiful. There are great amenities that are offered at her place such as a nice pool, free Starbucks coffee in the lounge, a well-equipped gym, and internet/office room where you can print documents as needed. Unfortunately, we only stayed at her place for two days and did not take advantage of these amenities because we lacked time.  Her apartment is close to the highway making it very easy to get to many different places in Austin. It was easy to communicate with Lindsey and she was readily available via text when we needed help."
4047604,40758614,2015-08-02,18932259,Kelli,Really clean and beautiful space. Love the location. Lindsey is really nice and helpful. Great experience!
4047604,41220293,2015-08-05,36089004,Brian,"We had an amazing time at Lindsey's apartment. It exceeded our expectations in every way. Here are some highlights: Lindsey personally got us settled in, it was impeccably clean, it was adjacent to the Lady Bird Lake walking / biking trail, the swimming pool area was luxurious and the washer and dryer was a life saver. I highly recommend! "
8573094,49851973,2015-10-06,45393201,Noelia,"The apartment was as pictured, very clean and comfortable. The host did leave closet space along with two dresser drawers to use during the stay. The rainfall shower was amazing and Jeff also left some personal amenities for our use which was really nice. I never actually met the host but went through his neighbor Cody for the key and any questions we had. Cody was very friendly and helpful, even let us use his wifi when we couldn't get ours to connect to the hostess. The apartment is not far from ACL, maybe a 10 min uber ride. The neighborhood is very quiet and well kept. "
4510443,22569566,2014-11-09,21121494,Jayme,"Jennifer and her place are the perfect place for an Austin get away! She is located a short walk or cab ride from downtown and south congress st. She was fast and attentive in her communication and even went out of her way to drop my fiancé and I off at Fun Fun Fun fest. 

The flat is beautifully decorated and her bed was sooo comfy too! I would highly recommend this location! "
4510443,28163651,2015-03-19,13326447,Elisabeth,"Jennifer was an excellent host, and her one-bedroom was a wonderful place to stay during my time in Austin for SXSW. The apartment itself is clean, spacious, and in a very safe/secure apartment complex. The location is great - the apartment complex itself is quiet, but it's near some good restaurants and local bars and 1.5 miles away from the craziness of downtown. 

Jennifer herself was awesome during my stay - she picked me up from the airport when I arrived, and even touched base mid-way through my trip to ensure I was doing well. 

I highly recommend this listing to anyone who is planning a stay in Austin!"
4510443,50644952,2015-10-13,23086279,Hima,"We had a wonderful stay in Jennifer's apartment. Close to both downtown and South Congress, conveniently located in one of Austin's hipper neighborhoods and near restaurants and bars, it was also a short walk from Zilker Park, where the Austin City Limits festival is. Although Jennifer wasn't able to welcome us in person, she provided more than adequate phone and text support during our stay. One downside is that the wifi/internet connection was unavailable -- wifi was one of the reasons why I chose her listing. It was also good that we brought earplugs since a freight train line runs right next to the complex and kept my husband awake the 1st night."
4510443,53103380,2015-11-04,5362061,Robert,The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4222121,21173935,2014-10-12,22082403,Kelsi,Molly's groovy studio was perfect for ACL -- It is in walking distance of Barton Springs / Zilker Park and lots of restaurants & bars. It was so nice not having to deal with parking/cabs to get to the festival. Molly was available anytime we needed her and she is super sweet and accommodating! 
4222121,22565579,2014-11-09,6848608,Larry,Molly was very hospitable and quick to respond to questions. He place is in a great location. I'd definitely stay there again. 
4222121,28132211,2015-03-18,27476050,Clay,Molly was extremely helpful and quick getting back to me. Her place is comfortable and in a great neighborhood with lots of good food not far from central Austin. 
4710519,49810293,2015-10-06,22950872,Brook,"We had a great time! It was a good location, this place was perfect for ACL. I also appreciate that the host made it easy to get the keys and even let us eat his food. The place is very spacious and the finishes are upscale. It was stocked with nice products in the bathroom as well. We would stay here again. "
4059396,27995793,2015-03-16,15497797,Jonathan,The house was beautiful and well kept in a perfect location a short walk from downtown.  The yard and hammocks were perfect for the spring weather in Austin.  Anne was incredibly accommodating and proved to be a great host.  They even left local drinks for us in the fridge and a welcome basket.
2346097,28218037,2015-03-20,24508577,Hiroko,"Amy's place was perfect! There were four of us in town for SXSW and we couldn't have asked for a better more comfortable stay.  We were very close to the South Congress neighborhood and just a quick 5 minute drive into downtown Austin for the festival.  Amy's home was clean and cozy and she even left some fresh fruit for us. I would definitely recommend this place.
"
8614941,50418993,2015-10-11,7918359,Joanna,Very well located place. Angy responded fast to our request and the communication was very good. The room is clean and spacious and very private.  
5375722,50505994,2015-10-12,44369491,Melissa,Our host made us feel very welcome. They left goodies as well as info for nearby restaurants and activities. Everything was just as descibed and the location was excellent. 
929824,3789532,2013-03-15,16386,Steve,Jeff was nice and kept in contact well before I checked into his house.  The house is well maintained and had a Austin Charm to it. If you want to be near Downtown with the the hustle and bustle Jeff's place is it.
929824,8951091,2013-11-27,9793983,Rob,"Amazing place to stay. Jeff's house is comfy, clean and bang in the middle of the funnest part of town. He's a wonderful host too - he told us the best places to catch good music, let me borrow his bike and even ran us back to the airport. The house is a fantastic base to explore Austin from. Highly recommend staying here. "
929824,11045954,2014-03-18,2150458,Dana,"Jeff was super great to communicate with and made everything so easy. We were able to check in as soon as we came into town, and everything was ready for us, Jeff even left us some bagels and coffee to get us started after the long trip. The house was conveniently situated and comfortable. Jeff was available to be contacted for any issues. The wifi signal was not super strong but besides that everything else was just as listed and we had a comfortable stay. Thanks for hosting us Jeff!"
929824,13438721,2014-05-27,15288103,Peter,"Jeff was very informative about what to do in the area and communicated well leading up to the trip.  The place was comfortable, and the decor was cool.  "
929824,16100590,2014-07-22,13503803,Jeff,"Jeff was a good host and did a good job of communicating with us ahead of our stay. The house is a little small but still comfortable, especially since we were out most of the time anyway, and the Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits album awaiting us on the piano when we arrived was a nice touch. The neighborhood was fine, and it was a short walk to a lot of really good restaurants and bars. No complaints from any of the members in our party."
929824,26329389,2015-02-09,22291476,Lily,"Not only did Jeff leave the fridge fully stocked with beer (!!!), he was flexible on the arrival time. Really appreciated his input and thoughts on activities for the weekend based on his local expertise. Had a great time! Had a little trouble figuring out the heating situation/space heaters but mastered them by the time we left. The price was absolutely unbeatable too."
929824,28382982,2015-03-23,25814442,Isaac,"Jeff was a very accommodating host. We planned on arriving early in the morning, and Jeff was very flexible with our check in time.

We came with a group of 6 people, and were all comfortable with sleeping and making a big breakfast every morning.

The house was just far enough away from SXSW to have easy parking and a quiet night.
We would definitely stay at the house again if we were to come to Austin again."
929824,32912992,2015-05-23,17529069,Joel,"Great atmosphere, convenient location and nice host! "
929824,33127800,2015-05-25,4326864,Miranda,"Jeff's home was bright, adorable, and spacious, and Jeff himself was very easy to communicate with re key drop-off etc. A great deal in a great part of town (walking distance for, from example, Juan in a Million, which serves amazing breakfast tacos). "
929824,33923450,2015-06-02,7808014,Katie,Jeffs place was a perfect spot for me and 4 friends to crash while exploring Austin- everything we wanted to do was easily walkable or a cheap uber ride away.
929824,34100828,2015-06-04,11859242,Becky,Jeff was very easy to get in contact with and messaged me throughout my stay to make sure everything was going well. The location of the house was really convenient for everything that we wanted to do in Austin.  Great price for a great place!
929824,34538078,2015-06-09,31591814,Tori,"Great place! It was cleaned even though there was a group here only hours before us. It was a quick walk to convenience stores and food trucks, local 6th street places are a easy walk too. Jeff had all shower amenities taken care of and we were able to use the washer and dryer after tubing. :)"
929824,34718862,2015-06-11,29124217,Miranda,"My friend and I stayed at Jeff's place on a road trip cross country and it was great.  I so wish we could have stayed longer!  There were really cool bars in walking distance, the neighborhood was super convenient.  There were also water bottles in the fridge, and lots of kitchen supplies for cooking and a cute backyard, AND a really awesome projector and screen!  I would definitely recommend this place, we had a great time!"
929824,34968602,2015-06-14,32508679,Erin,"Great bungalow, great location. We had so much fun in the middle of Austin, and the price was great. "
929824,35435874,2015-06-18,28018557,Joseph,"This place was great and had everything we needed. Kitchen, close to downtown and instruments! Comfortable beds and a very cool house design. Jeff was very accommodating when I informed him that we wouldn't be arriving until 6:30 in the morning from a long night of travel. My only tiff is that I wish Jeff had come to hang out with us! He seemed like a really cool  guy when we met. This was my first time using this app and I couldn't be happier with my experience."
929824,36297845,2015-06-27,34281857,Lars-Andre,"The house is situated in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood. It has a lot of charm, and we really enjoyed all the instruments available in the house (piano, guitar, mandolin, guitalele, melodica). We really appreciate that Jeff, a very nice and helpful host, left us cold beer and some food in the fridge and otherwise all we needed for our stay. The double bed in the master bedroom and the sofa in the living room could have been more comfortable, though. And a relatively old house like this is probably a bit difficult to keep very clean."
929824,36865099,2015-07-02,26327500,Diane,"We enjoyed this comfortable home located so close to the convention center. Jeff is easy to work with, and quite thoughtful. We'd be glad to stay there again!
"
929824,37324416,2015-07-06,33758131,Kyle,"We came into town for a bachelor party and this house was perfect. We were about to walk anywhere we needed or uber if we were feeling lazy.

Jeff was fantastic and set up the house with an air matress since we had so many people. Also, Jeff has a killer record collection! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone visiting Austin!"
929824,38127404,2015-07-13,33515825,Edwin,It was great. Everything we needed it was there. Great airconditioning which is good especially summer. 
929824,38560075,2015-07-16,20412026,Sara,"We're in music and have rented houses in Austin for the past eight years as we've traveled through for shows and festivals. Jeff's house was by far our favorite -- the location, price, and vibe were spot on. It had everything we needed, from ample towels to a turntable to a front porch to sit on and be reminded of where you are. Looking forward to returning."
929824,39322588,2015-07-22,19631245,Kelley,Our stay was a very pleasant experience. Great location! Felt very Austin-y. And it was nice that Jeff came and introduced himself. Clean older home that has some upgrades in the bathroom. Overall we had a wonderful stay.
929824,39574058,2015-07-24,38591412,Thomas,"If I had a place in Austin this is what I'd want it to be like, but I don't.  Jeff does and it's sweet, its a pretty straight shot to most of what there is to do in Austin and a solid choice."
929824,39920697,2015-07-27,29061874,Chris,Staying in the Eastside Bungalow was easy-peasy.  Great location and great recommendations from Jeff on the side of the fridge.  Air conditioning kept the place pretty cool too on the hottest days of the year...
929824,40362877,2015-07-30,25760317,Laura & Joel,"We loved this house!  It was cute, cozy with lots of instruments to play.  It is walking distance to some fun bars and restaurants.  We would  recommend it if you want to be in a fun little neighborhood uber drive from downtown.  Jeff was friendly and very accommodating.  Answered all our questions and suggest great places."
929824,41930697,2015-08-10,25755660,Garett,The experience was amazing ! Jeff has a beautiful house and it was very clean. We did not know what to expect when we arrived but we're extremely happy with the results. We were in Austin to celebrate a friends birthday but now want to make it a yearly tradition. 
929824,43445551,2015-08-19,41210624,Tyler,We loved our stay here! It was a great first airbnb experience. It had everything we needed for our trip in Austin. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Austin.
929824,43804328,2015-08-22,13926870,Keith,"This place is just fine to stay if you need easy access to downtown and you are wanting to keep costs down. You really won't want to try and walk it (a bit far and busy street to go down) but the Uber ride is  just 5 or 6 dollars each way.    I heard a nice hotel in downtown is approx triple the price.   The houses has some some character and the master bedroom is good with the couch sitting area.    There are 2 good beds in the house.  The other 3 places to sleep are coaches/rollout etc. so if you have more than 2 in your party don't expect luxury.  The neighborhood was a bit spotty but next door were some cool, new, modern, microcommunity type places.  We don't have time to explore this area but I heard there are some cool bars and restaurants.   Overall a fine value and the host was nice and worked with us a bit on the checkout because we were a little late."
929824,44140884,2015-08-24,37874975,Jason,"This house was perfect for our trip to Austin.  We managed to pile 8 people into the house for the weekend, and everyone was able to fit comfortably.  The AC was ice cold, even in the middle of August, and the whole place was very clean and well kept up.  Jeff seemed like a pretty nice guy, though I had very little interaction with him over the weekend.  The neighborhood was nice and quiet but super convenient to all the places we wanted to go in downtown Austin.  Definitely a place I would stay in again for my next trip!"
929824,44655283,2015-08-28,31138271,Camille,"We have been disappointed by our experience. For a group of 7 people, 3 had to sleep on mattresses on the floor and the house was pretty dirty when we arrived. I personally found a cockroach under my pillow the first night and there were no shower head in the bathroom (even if it was fixed the day after). The ""clean"" sheets and towels were all oily and we had to wash them on our first night. To finish, impossible to run the dishwasher. 
The price of the house was ok, but I do not recommend it for a large group.
"
929824,45270669,2015-09-01,21424003,Madison,"We had a fantastic time at Jeff's place. There was plenty of room (and blankets and pillows) for our 8 guests. The projector was a big hit! I appreciated that the house included a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Jeff has a list of local suggestions for restaurants, bars, etc. on the fridge that definitely came in handy! The location was great for us to walk to all the east side locations we enjoy and an Uber to downtown was less than $6 most of the time. We would certainly stay here again and recommend it for groups. The funky decor and plethora of instruments was an extra plus to the atmosphere of our stay. "
929824,45688408,2015-09-05,27368772,James,"I stayed here with a group of 4 other guys for two nights midweek. The house was brilliant. Its got plenty of room, its clean and comfortable and Jeff provides everything you could need from wifi to a fully equipped kitchen. The place has a lot of character and is very enjoyable to stay in, just like the area its situated. Its surrounded by quirky bars and restaurants and is only a short walk from the start of 6th street.

Jeff was very helpful from the start and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the stay. I definitely recommend staying here and will do so myself in the near future. Thanks Jeff!"
929824,45950944,2015-09-07,37706050,Bryan,"Jeff did a great job accommodating us.  Fire pit was really cool,  projector was icing on the cake.   Loved everything about house. "
929824,47494279,2015-09-19,31740518,Alex,"Jeff was a great host - the bungalow perfectly suited our needs - 5 people could easily stay there. The place was situated in a lovely neighbourhood, with easy bus access to downtown. Didn't get to meet Jeff in person but he was communicative and helpful, and checking in was super easy. A really nice place to stay in Austin."
929824,48883463,2015-09-29,39965776,Alex,"Perfect spot for home base in a new city. Located on the east side there are quite the eclectic spots to hit up which made it easy to walk to and from while staying at Jeff's place. Also, downtown is just a short Uber ride so don't think you're too far out.
 This is an older house so it has its quirks so don't expect a 5 star resort. This is not meant to steer people away but just to not to have overly high expectations. It was exactly what I thought it would be, provided adequate accommodations for us, price was right and in a city as extrodinary as Austin, who wants to be inside at all? 
Jeff was unfortunately gone the weekend we were there but his friend Corrine was in charge and was an awesome host to help with any questions that arose. 
When I get a chance to make it back down to Austin, Jeff's place will be the first one I'll be looking at! Thanks for everything!"
929824,49285261,2015-10-02,25656310,Andy,"Jeff was responsive and provided great advice on getting to and from the airport and about town. His place is comfortable and in a great location making it easy to walk, bike or Uber to university, 6th st, or city central. Would stay here again. "
929824,49586033,2015-10-05,19193884,Crystal,The house was great and all the help hints on the fridge were great!
929824,49894511,2015-10-07,40575216,Howard,"Jeff's place was solid.  It was in a good location--short drive to downtown and the college campus, and short walk from a number of bars, restaurants, and a really pretty lake. Neighborhood was residential and quiet and peaceful. The place was very spacious for the two of us who stayed there. Free street parking was right there. We liked hanging on the porch. The house had a lot of cool music stuff around too. We met Jeff when we were leaving and he was super nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend staying at Jeff's place!"
929824,51275889,2015-10-19,4288305,Megan,"I loved this house! The house itself was fantastic - cozy space with lots of decor in the common areas, clean, comfy beds, and a great front patio area.

The neighborhood is perfect.  Close to some delicious food trucks, several watering holes within walking distance, fairly inexpensive uber/cab ride to downtown, airport, & really anywhere you need to go."
929824,51856066,2015-10-24,46902582,Shane,Jeff was a great host and the location could not have been better. The house was a small 2 bedroom with a stocked kitchen. I will definitely be using this listing again. Thanks Jeff for all the helpful notes left on the fridge.
929824,52354607,2015-10-28,23568602,Megan,"Easy check in and check out process. Love the front porch, made for a warm welcome after a night out in Austin. Everyone raved about how awesome this bungalow was and they were right, quaint, awesome location, and had a nice homey feeling =) The welcome message on the fridge helped us plan our stay also.
We went on a rainy day just as hurricane Patricia was leaving, so we didnt get to experience the patio and firepit in the backyard, but we got to sit in the front porch and watch the rain and enjoy the humidity. Would definitely come back and stay here again. Thanks Jeff!"
929824,52535120,2015-10-30,5952197,Patrick,"Jeff's place was great! It's within walking distance to the start of 6th street, as well as some great neighborhood bars and restaurants. Being a musician and guitar player myself, I was ecstatic to find several instruments around the house...each night was ended with a little strumming, made me feel right at home. We didn't have time to use it, but there is a projector in the living room, so bring a laptop to watch movies at night if you so please. All in all, a perfect AirBNB experience with Jeff. "
929824,52835913,2015-11-02,43343943,Megan,"Jeff was very flexible with the check in process. The house was more spacious than I expected and had a nice backyard with a fire pit. There were plenty of towels, pillows, blankets, etc. However, we did find a few cockroaches but that could be due to the severe flooding in the area. Overall a good experience."
8598094,49736122,2015-10-05,44762042,Michael,Simran Raj was very responsive and everything was as advertised. I would stay here again. Very welcoming environment.
8598094,50405425,2015-10-11,25667463,Fabian,"The place was sharp and clean. So easy to go downtown and to come back using the bus ride which is around the corner.
Three lovely dogs and a warm environment. Kind of my new favorite place next time I visit Austin."
5775285,29778248,2015-04-12,2196528,Mitchell,"Our host was great. She gave me a tour of the condo and showed me all the amenities around the condo and gave me great information about the neighborhood.  
The condo had everything we needed and more than enough supplies for a comfortable stay.  "
5775285,33011732,2015-05-24,31400654,Jonnie,Great condo in great location!  We had 7 guests stay here and everyone kept commenting on how nice of a place it was compared to other homes/condos they had stayed in while in Austin on other trips.  
5775285,34383309,2015-06-07,8728926,Brittany,The neighborhood was great! Host was very nice and informed us close things to do around the apartment!
5775285,50831244,2015-10-15,20982733,Lyndal,"Avani was great, very fast n communication in the lead up and ruing our stay, as well as very informative on arrival. We had one internet issue during out stay (which was out of their control completely) and Avani was so fast at responding & investigating it was appreciated and also impressive.  When we arrived there were even little treats to welcome us.

This house is amazing, we loved our 7 weeks there and wouldn't hesitate to return if the opportunity arose.  The house was perfect for us, one couple and 2 single people with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms as well as a guest toilet on the main floor.  The actual apartment is gorgeous, exactly as the photos suggest, and the area is cool for wandering to little bars, food trucks & great coffee.  Rainey St is a 15 minute walk and 6th street is about $6 in an uber.  

Not sure what else to say but book this place if you are considering it, you won't regret it."
481518,1463864,2012-06-11,2577950,Nicki,"Super convenient location to SoCo.  Very sweet hosts and even though they are new to Austin as well, helped me get oriented and find all the places I wanted to go!"
481518,2814752,2012-11-05,1840093,Shane,Thien-Y and Dana's place was the perfect AirBnB experience. The room was clean and spacious. I got a towel and everything I needed to make my stay pleasant and enjoyable. The location is great. Right next to the 1 bus if you need to go downtown. It's perfect for festivals at Auditorium Shores.
481518,2898368,2012-11-16,4101748,Evan,Great room and bathroom to yourself on the bus route.  Downtown about a 15-20 minute walk away if you prefer to enjoy the weather.  Thien-Y was great at keeping in touch and very helpful!
481518,3180937,2012-12-29,1120951,Marselle,"In advance of our trip, Thien-Y was responsive and helpful in setting up details for our stay, including making Austin recommendations. While Thien-Y was out of town during our stay, her roommate made our 'check-in' convenient and easy. The apartment was more than adequate for our needs, Thien-Y's room is large, the bed is comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet. Most notable is the proximity to South Congress neighborhoods, downtown, ets - location was ideal.

We very much enjoyed our stay - would definitely book this again. "
481518,3717424,2013-03-07,5209217,Pranish,Thien-Y and her roommate were very cool. Nice comfortable bed and great location. Like crashing at a friends house. Will definitely hang out when we move to Austin. 
481518,3779115,2013-03-14,397804,Linnea,We had a great stay at this place. It's literally located 2 min walking distance from the awesome SoCo-area and Thien-Y was a terrific host!
481518,4000270,2013-04-02,5075815,Evie,Thien-Y and her room mate were great people to stay with. Really hospitable and kind to us. They were helpful in telling us about things to do in the local area also. I would definitely go back to Austin to stay here!
481518,4411918,2013-05-03,5306009,Henry & Maria-Louisa,"What a great find! 
Perfectly located in cool south congress. 
Loads of lovely restaurants and cafes near by. 
The apartment is great, clean and comfortable. 
"
481518,4438320,2013-05-05,5921939,Molly,"Thein's apartment was a wonderful find! I have never been to Austin before and decided to stay at the Austin Motel for the first two nights and then get a room via Airbnb- both experiences were great! Thein is a wonderful host- very accommodating and friendly.  The apartment was clean, the room and private bathroom was clean, and the location is a wonderful short walk to all the happenings on South Congress Ave. The apartment is also directly across the street from a lovely coffee shop for morning coffee and Texas breakfast tacos!!  I highly recommend this apartment!!"
481518,4738087,2013-05-22,4005050,Kevin,"My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Thien and Dana's place in the South Congress neighborhood. I'd highly recommend it to someone looking for a great quiet place in which to stay while exploring Austin.

LOCATION: 
Super safe neighborhood. Less than a minute walk to a market and a bus stop that takes you into downtown in less than 5 minutes. A few-minute walk to a bunch of cool boutiques, food trucks, restaurants, and bars. My girlfriend and I found it fairly easy (despite the heat) to get around by foot or by mixture of bus and foot. Neighborhoods/areas we had no problem getting to by foot: Barton Springs, Rainey Street, downtown, UT, and East Austin (the east 6th area). 

HOSTS: 
Wonderful, friendly, and accommodating people. Able to answer any questions we had.

THE PLACE: 
Within a gated complex. Has a pool a few steps away. Quiet. Well air-conditioned. Spacious bedroom. Clean bathroom. Clean place overall. Washer and dryer, seemingly new condition.

OVERALL: 
Cool place, cool people, really set us up well to explore and enjoy Austin. Would stay here again for sure."

The apartment was very clean, roomy, and pleasant, and they were extremely responsive, both when we were planning our trip and after we arrived. We'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for an easy, convenient stay in Austin and we hope to come back again soon!"
481518,5073418,2013-06-10,4377078,Kristin,"Staying with Thien-Y was great! She was friendly and welcoming, and she shared lots of valuable Austin tips. The apartment itself was super clean and amazingly located--a 2-3 minute walk from South Congress. Parking at her building is very easy too. Highly recommended. "
481518,5198703,2013-06-17,6841363,Kelci,"I had a great stay with Thien-y, she made it super comfortable and easy for me during my stay.  Even though she wasn't around when I checked in, she gave great instructions about getting to the place and getting settled.  The location is awesome, walking distance to everything great on South Congress, and easy enough to get into downtown or anywhere else throughout the city you'd like to visit.  I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip out.  "
481518,7716920,2013-09-30,2343442,Emeline,"Very nice apartment in nice residence and well located, host easy to communicate with for arriving details and she gave her tips on how to get to different places in Austin. I would definitely recommend that place to stay!"
481518,7765040,2013-10-01,8758096,Robert,"I was staying with Thien and her roomate for one night, very nice people to stay with, very kind and hospitable!"
481518,8215243,2013-10-21,8511853,Sarah,"I stayed for 3 days, 2 nights in this spacious, yet cozy apartment with a good friend of mine.  We felt very comfortable being able to spend as much or as little time as we wanted in the apartment.  We cooked some meals in, and the conditions for prepping & cooking food were great.  The cleanliness of the apartment is worth bragging about- everything had its place, and was simultaneously very welcoming and comfortable.  We had plenty of space in the bedroom for our luggage and for just relaxing after a long day of exploring the city.  It actually felt like it was our apartment for the weekend, which is a great feeling considering we were living out of our suitcases.  The flexibility with checking in and out was extremely helpful as we had no agenda for the weekend and our plans changed slightly from what we had originally anticipated.  It was very easy to communicate with Thien-y throughout the visit to know what the expectations were of us as visitors.  The gated community was a nice perk as we were visiting from out of town and felt very safe.  The accessibility to downtown was very convenient- we walked everywhere and took cabs if our shoes weren't walking-worthy.  Overall, it was the ideal stay, and I will definitely book with Thien-y again the next time I visit Austin!"
481518,9065959,2013-12-03,3727847,Justin,"I had a great time in Austin, and that all started because I stayed here!  The location could not have been better, plenty of space in the room to stretch out, and was quite comfy.  Thien-y's roommate Dana was very knowledgeable, and offered many great suggestions on things to check out.  Thanks again so much!"
481518,9124188,2013-12-08,9961788,Selina,"Great condo! It's a very good size two bedroom/two bath within a gated community. The home also has a large flat screen to watch movies on which came in handy since it was a freezing this past weekend and we did stay in some! I usually just take the bus when I'm in Austin but because it was so cold we called a taxi and it was only a 12$ cab fare to the heart of dt. The condo is also super clean and an extremely short walk to South Congress's restaurants and shops. Thein-Y was so easy to work with and only needed 30 mins notice for check in which was so convenient. Thein-Y and her roommate have the place decorated really cute and their place has a fun, cozy atmosphere! Definitely recommend staying here!"
481518,9557910,2014-01-02,10439571,Tae,We loved the location and the cozy apartment.  Thien-Y made sure that we have everything that we needed to make our stay great.  We would definitely come back.  
481518,10919179,2014-03-13,6440936,Laura,"Staying with Thien-Y and Dana was like staying with roommates I've lived with all year long.  Not only were they incredibly gracious hostesses, they made me feel like a friend.  Thien-Y from the moment I contacted her was very responsive, answering every single little question I had and was always so cheerful.  I even had extra benefits that I don't think most hosts would provide like as Thien-Y put it, she was my human restaurant and bar app.  I would highly recommend staying with them if you're ever in Austin.  I know that if I'm ever in Austin, I'd stay with them in a heartbeat."
481518,11046464,2014-03-18,11088593,Sunil,"Staying at Thien's place was amazing!!  You cannot beat the location in terms of being close to the uber-hip, South Congress area--I had three of my best meals in my life on that street!!  I would not stay anywhere else just because of the great location!  But, what really makes an Airbnb is stay are the people, and Thien and her room mate Dana were the perfect hosts, quickly giving great tips on places to eat and hang out in. When(not if!) you come to Austin, one should definitely stay here as it well worth your money and time.  More importantly, you will have the time of your life!"
481518,11350411,2014-03-31,6621181,Mirella,Thanks so much for the hospitality. The bed was super comfy and it was nice to have my own shower which I did not expect. The write-up you sent was very informative as well and much appreciated. Had a wonderful meal 5 minutes from your place and breakkie and shopping in the AM. Left Austin with some great memories.
481518,11564031,2014-04-07,1923105,Steve,"Thien-Y and Dana were great hosts! Really gave great advice for local eats and sights. Their apartment is isolated enough away from the SoCo noise and tourism, but close enough to really subject yourself to the masses if you wish. They have an ADORABLE pitbull, whom I miss already. Couldn't have asked for better. Felt 5 years younger just hanging out here."
481518,11699561,2014-04-12,6748178,Barbara,I spent a wonderful time in Austin. Thien-Y and Dena are perfect hosts. They helped me out with infos and recommendations. They are really nice and lovely people. The room was very big and I even had a bathroom for myself. The house is perfectly located if you're about to spend your days (and nights) in SoCo - which I truly recommend!
481518,11940756,2014-04-19,8387583,Alexandra,"Thien-Y and Dana were great hosts. They were friendly and welcoming, great at keeping in touch and made sure I had everything I needed.
I stayed in Dana's room which was spacious and comfortable. It was a really nice surprise to have my own bathroom.

I highly recommend staying here. Not only were Thien-Y and Dana wonderful hosts, the location was prime if you're looking to explore SoCo."
481518,12036418,2014-04-21,3495088,Eva,"Suuuper cute, clean and spacious room. We felt immediately at home. Didn't really use the rest of the apt but it was also cute and clean. Private bath with excellent water pressure in the shower. Was emailed detailed instructions for arrival plus several recommendations on things to do/eat/see. Didn't receive the email at first due to a user&iphone error, but was happy to have it when I found it. Went to the pool although it was too cold to swim. Hosts were very accommodating and flexible. Would def recommend. "
481518,12569237,2014-05-05,1588044,Brittney,"This apartment was clean and convenient. Thien-Y sent a detailed intro letter with directions, restaurant recommendations and local activities. The condo complex is gated and quiet, with easy access to the action of SoCo. It is a nice, downhill walk on South Congress to the River. A cab ride into Downtown runs about $5 and a bus is $1-2. Walking and biking are easy too. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom private. I did not meet Thien-Y but Dana was very nice and helpful. I recommend their place, and I would definitely stay again."
481518,12805929,2014-05-11,12366109,Mark,Thien-Y was a very helpful host. She was great with directions and sorting out our parking. The apartment was clean and tidy and we had the added bonus of a dog for company. Thien-Y also shared some great tips for going out in the city.
481518,12875042,2014-05-12,1989147,Haley,My friend and I asked Thien-Y to stay at her place at the very last minute. She was so quick to respond and was very easy to keep in touch with. Her apartment is very clean and in an awesome location. We appreciated all the restaurant recommendations she had to offer us. I would love to stay with Thien-Y again! 
481518,13102826,2014-05-19,13807862,Lance,Thien-Y was amazing. Best communication of any place I've ever stayed. She offered useful tips and checked in regularly to make sure things were going well. Great Hostess!!
481518,13365109,2014-05-26,274780,Matt,"Had a great stay in a very clean and quiet appartment. Easy to get to and lots of instructions given by Thien-Y prior to our arrival. Easy reach of SoCo and downtown, san antonio or any other towns around.many thanks. Great hosts, lovely home from home :-)"
481518,22214809,2014-11-01,22530946,Stewart,"The apartment was in a great location, an Uber downtown was only $7 at most with restaurants and food trucks nearby, and all rooms were super clean. Plus, don't discount Thien-Y's food and bev recommendations which made for an awesome weekend."
481518,22270405,2014-11-02,2094286,Caroline,"Thien-Y made me feel very welcome in Austin. From the moment of booking, she kept in close contact to be sure I had all of the information I needed to find my way. She provided a great list of activities, restaurants, and things to explore during my stay. Her home was clean and quiet - very pleasant for a quick overnight. 

The neighborhood was true to description: just a quick walk to So-Co, and a bridge away from the heart of downtown. "
481518,22352070,2014-11-03,6529736,Matt,Thien-Y enabled a very last minute accommodation and made sure I was all set up once arrived. Extremely comfortable bed in gated community. Thanks Thien-Y!
481518,22668139,2014-11-11,16135018,Andrea,"Unfortunately I don't have a very good review to leave here this time. I have used airbnb in the past several times and had been very pleased with the experience except for this time. I came to stay in Thien-Y and Meghan's place for 3 days while in Austin. I have to say everything in Austin was great except for the place I stay at. Both Thien-Y and Meghan were very nice and helpful however, the room and private bathroom were not clean. I didn't feel I could shower in that bath so I had to find cleaning supplies and clean it myself. Their bathroom looked like it had not been cleaned in months.  I also had to find a swiffer and  wipe off the floor of my room because it was very dusty.  The bed was someway comfortable although too soft for my back. The bathroom was not private at all since both Meghan and Thien-Y ended up using the shower and the toilette because theirs was broken. I did feel ripped off this time for what I paid, 95 us a night for a dirty room and not so private bathroom. I did let Thien-Y about my unpleasant stay and she did apologize for it. I really hope they can make the changes necessary and hopefully commit to what they offer. The location was excellent and I was able to walk to SOCO area and downtown from there. Unfortunately I won't be staying at this place again. "
481518,22916220,2014-11-17,17450684,Alexandros,"Great place to stay and super nice hosts. Made me feel like it was my house from the first minute I got there. After walking around pretty much all of Austin, I'd say that the house is also in the perfect location - soco is awesome and everything else worth visiting is really close by. Thank you Meghan and Thien-Y!!"
481518,23619159,2014-12-06,24448676,Aaron,"Thien-Y's place was perfect -- very close off Congress so it was easy to get our Lyft drivers to/from the location.  Also close to a CVS, which is kinda handy for any kind of travel situation.

She was of course super accomodating and friendly -- even walked around in the parking lot in the dark helping to navigate us to her apartment, since I'm terrible with directions.

The apartment was very clean and comfortable, and it was a great night's stay!  Thanks so much!"
481518,25534786,2015-01-18,13711590,Kent,"Great, friendly host!! Highly recommended."

481518,26561018,2015-02-15,1915486,Kaye,"I had a great stay at Thien-Y and Meghan's place. Their bright and surprisingly spacious apartment is in the most perfect location for wandering around Soco and they are super friendly and helpful hosts.

I'd hope to stay there again if I'm lucky enough to come back to Austin :)

Thanks so much for having me!! xx"
481518,26631828,2015-02-16,27012765,Brett,Great location close to congress.

481518,27621302,2015-03-08,196398,Josh,"My stay with Thien-Y was great, the room is massive and everything is nice and clean. Location is great - you can walk to heaps of places to eat and drink on South Congress which is one of the most interesting places to visit in Austin. Thien-Y is lovely as well and will give you heaps of great recommendations of where to visit!"
481518,28119614,2015-03-18,17493970,Yasir,"I came over for SXSW and had a great time staying with Thien-Y and Meghan. They were helpful, made me feel very at home and have become my pals for life! The room was clean, spacious and most importantly the bed was comfortable to sleep on. Their apartment was in a great location - close to downtown and a number of great spots for grab a bit to eat. "
481518,28525118,2015-03-25,27938094,James,"I dropped into Austin at the end of SXSW so the place was buzzing, the live music, people watching and soaking up Austin was everything I wanted. My accommodation made getting involved easy, it was in the cool South Congress area. Super handy for the SOCO district, walking/cycling distance from Downtown or metro for those less inclined to walk.

Accommodation was simple and easy to use, Thien-Y made sure you felt relaxed finding the place was easy with the instructions Thien-Y emailed, including insider tips on the good eatery's both in SOCO and Downtown.

Helped with additional requested prior and during the stay.

Thanks again guys...."
481518,28826201,2015-03-30,29324466,Lauren,"My buddy and I were in town for a wedding, and Thien-y & Meghan's condo was in the PERFECT location! We walked every day from the condo - 5 min walk to SoCo shops, bars and restaurants. If you like walking, it's not that much further to downtown, 1st St and Lamar - it's all RIGHT out the front door. The complex is gated which made it feel safer. There is also a POOL which we utilized on the hottest day. Also, since you're in the PRIMO spot, catching an Uber was no problem - usually only a 4-5 min wait time. They have a full kitchen, and a washer/ dryer in the unit which was an added bonus. The hostesses were very hospitable - not minding when I used their Keurig to make coffee in the morning or use of their shampoos, conditioner, soap, lotion, etc. No smoking inside the condo, but if you do smoke, there is a cute, tree-covered area just outside the front door with chairs. There is also a great little gourmet market just across the street from the complex that has a great selection of microbrews, wine, sandwiches, organic snacks, and some basic veggies and groceries. "
481518,29703679,2015-04-11,10977348,Kate,"I highly recommend this spot.  Both she and her roommate Meghan are extremely amicable and accommodating.  The room was spotless, well-organized, and very comfortable.  The neighborhood is also conveniently situated - there is a CVS and a gourmet store just across the street - and their unit area is quite pretty.  I was only there for one night, but all told it was a lovely time.

"
481518,30722063,2015-04-26,17166776,Jane,"We had a wonderful stay at Thien-Y's apartment. While we never met Thien-Y personally,  she gave us very clear directions (plus extensive restaurant and outing recommendations) to make our stay comfortable and convenient and her roommate Meghan warmly welcomed us.  The room is nice and comfortable and the location is wonderful, close to all the great shops/restaurants on S Congress and 1st. We couldn't have asked for more out of our first Austin trip!"
481518,31680291,2015-05-08,15186798,Emer,My parents stayed here on their first night in the U.S to catch up on sleep after a long journey from Ireland. The girls made it very easy for my parents. They were friendly but them space. The room was very comfortable and they felt well rested! Perfect location and exactly what we wanted.
481518,31919992,2015-05-11,7581881,Sarah,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Thien-y's place! It was our first time using air bnb and the spot was clean, organized, and in a great location. South congress was a great place to walk around and Thien-y gave us a great list of spots to check out. She was easy to get a hold of and very friendly. We were in town for psych fest and she seemed fine with us coming and going at odd hours. Great first stay in Austin ! "
481518,33449987,2015-05-28,1870639,Candace,"Loved staying with Thien-Y and her roommate! The location was a great place to see Austin, and Thien-Y was extremely helpful with recommendations for great things to do (and eat!) around the city. The apartment was clean and beautiful, and in a nice, safe neighborhood. Would definitely recommend!"
481518,40858343,2015-08-02,25140757,Candace,"We had a great stay in Austin at Thein-Y's place. We did not end up seeing each other throughout the weekend due to schedules, but their apartment was cute, clean, and a great location for exploring Austin. We utilized a lot of her recommendations on where to go in Austin and had a blast. "
481518,50400455,2015-10-11,45856344,Mitzi,Thien-Y's room was clean and ready for my stay.  Everything was great!  Her roommate was so helpful to help me navigate the craziness of ACL.  I felt safe in the surrounding neighborhood.

4099322,29637861,2015-04-10,30366015,Kimberly,Erica was super helpful and caring. She called to see if we had made it in ok and if we needed anything. I am very impressed with the dedication and honesty of this group. I will be using them again.
4099322,31276205,2015-05-03,13884723,David,Super Comfy home. Front patio is a real bonus. Loved doing my work there. Beautiful quiet neighborhood - not too far from the action. Was a great pick. Erica was very helpful.

It is clean, very spacious, nicely furnished and supplied.  Bed, sheets, and towels are of excellent quality.   The patio in front is a nice place to relax in the evenings.  It is in an excellent and quite neighborhood with easy access to about everything in Austin.   Everything on the description fits the reality. The only ""not-so-good"" point was the internet that was unstable and sometimes only outside the house or in the bedroom that we could get access, specially for the small devices.  The place is professionally managed and sometimes you don't get that direct immediate support that you would from a direct owner.

5642666,48304532,2015-09-25,19754212,Sheleeza,"Ryan and Jasmine were the best! Their place is in a great location and they are so welcoming. I stayed with them for about a month and it was perfect for me and my little puppy. East Austin is a really cool area and this place is a good representation of that part of the city. 
I had a lot of fun with both of them during my stay. Plus, their cat and dog are the coolest!!"
5642666,48967929,2015-09-29,45066305,Robert,"What a wonderful time in Austin! Ryan & Jasmine were amazing hosts and we both fell in love with the color and magic of the East Side.  The Room is clean and very comfortable, our hosts and their beautiful pets made us feel right at home.  They gave us some great tips on where to eat and what to see. The location is perfect to explore Austin and the number 17 bus is easy to get straight into downtown.  We stayed three nights, just enough to enough time to get a flavor of this grand city. If you want to dance and have a great time go to the White Horse! Thanks Ryan & Jasmine! Robbie & Zoe x"
5642666,49294617,2015-10-02,40899618,Luke,Ryan and his partner were great hosts. They were always happy to give advice on where to go and what to see. The accomodation was great and the location was only a 5 minute uber to 6th st. Had a great experience in Austin.
5642666,49784860,2015-10-06,32162255,Kristen,"Couldn't have asked for a better ACL weekend in Austin - Ryan and Jasmine were so friendly and really made us feel at home. Even before arriving, Ryan reached out to make sure we'd find the place alright; they left us a helpful list of information and places to grab food, and we loved playing with the pets! Austin is truly a special place - would highly recommend a stay out here!"
5642666,50467078,2015-10-12,34831590,Randall,"Ryan and Jasmine were very welcoming. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. He and his girlfriend made us a list of their favorite places to eat and some information about the area, which we thought was a nice touch. We drove around most places instead of walking, but everything seemed close enough if you're into the bar scene. We stayed 4 nights for ACL (and an extra day for exploring the city) and were not disappointed.

Thanks again!"
5642666,51101265,2015-10-17,18222305,Sheyla,Ryan and Jasmine were great hosts. They gave me the chance to stay at their place in such short notice. The room is huge and comfortable. They're pretty close to the good places on the East Side. I had a great stay.

She was very thoughtful and helpful in making sure that I had everything necessary available during my stay. The room was plenty big enough for me with a real bed and a full closet. I would certainly stay here again, and I would recommend anyone wanting to stay in Austin to check this place out."
4023245,20929862,2014-10-07,21816545,Dylan,"Our experience at Sarah Janes was great. Very lovely room with access to a private bath. We needed a last minute place to stay for the weekend at ACL and it was such a relief to be able to crash here every night! 
It was a little farther than we wanted from ACL but the commute to downtown was a only a fifteen minute drive. Also, normally cats give me bad allergies but the room was so clean we did not even notice. 
This was a great first Air bnb experience !"
4023245,21755642,2014-10-23,21557825,Jeannie,"My stay in Sarah Jane's home was truly wonderful. She made me feel completely welcome. The room and bath were pretty and bright and Sarah Jane went out of her way to see that I felt comfortable and welcome in the whole house. She even cleared space for me in the refrigerator.  

Being new in Austin, I got lost one night. Sarah Jane called me and when she heard I was lost she offered to come and find me. That's how caring she is! 

I consider myself very fortunate to have had some time with Sarah Jane, and her two sweet cats too.    Jeannie

4023245,23079792,2014-11-22,1622600,Chris,Sarah Jane is an awesome host. Above and beyond. She even invited me to her music performance. The place is a great place on the South side near a natural park to walk around. Two cats in the yard. Life used to be so hard.  
4023245,25401761,2015-01-14,25758051,Charlie,Sarah Jane is quick to respond and have great communication. She is also flexible and very accommodating. The place is in a nice and quiet neighborhood that is great way to charge back up for the road. I stayed here a bit longer than I originally planned due to the pleasant experience.
4023245,25771761,2015-01-25,311924,Marty,"Sarah Jane offers affordable, comfortable, and cozy accommodations with the added benefit of stimulating conversation and a pair of friendly cats. She even cooked a delicious breakfast for me! I would recommend this location to other AirB&B travelers without hesitation."
4023245,28461427,2015-03-24,1837483,Judy,"Sarah Jane (and the cats!) are super-friendly and welcoming. The house is in a convenient location, and everything is very relaxing and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay!"
4023245,29072077,2015-04-03,29930624,Kelly,"Sarah Jane is an amazing woman and a great host. If you want to feel at home while traveling this is the place for you. Her house is better than described as it was clean and serene. She provides breakfast, has washer/ dryer, and two cool cats. You can cuddle with the cats while she makes fresh blueberry muffins and serenades you with her flute!! Thanks Sarah Jane I couldn't have asked for a better way to be welced to Austin!!!"
4023245,30690987,2015-04-26,805500,Diedra,"Thank you, Sarah Jane! Everything was perfect for our short visit--lovely home in a lovely neighborhood, great beds and bathrooms, clean, easy to find and easily accessible to Austin (and the airport), sweet ginger cats...quiet, and, as I said, perfect for us.  Sorry we missed meeting you, but maybe on another trip someday.  Loved your ROCKSTAR FLUTIST website!!
  "
4023245,34789433,2015-06-12,1412829,Jason,"Had a wonderful time staying at Sarah's, plus meeting the other fellow from OH that was renting the other room. It's a very peaceful place, in a great area that was the perfect distance from my work assignment. If you love cats and virtuosa music in a serene setting, look no farther!"
4023245,37609458,2015-07-08,10624945,Katharine,"Sarah Jane made me feel right at home!  She was quick to communicate changes (however so slight) and very accommodating. Her home is peaceful, clean, and inviting.  I would definitely stay with her again and recommend her to friends/family.  "
4023245,39424114,2015-07-23,37370618,Ted,Awesome stay and a great way to be welcomed to my new hometown! Sarah was very helpful and accommodating throughout my stay
4023245,40983701,2015-08-03,10436903,Diego,"Sarah was a great host. I felt very welcomed and comfortable at her house. The cats were awesome and after a couple day you cannot help building a bond with them.
Very quiet neighborhood. The bed was so comfortable I had a hard time getting up in the morning. Sarah always made sure I was comfortable. I really enjoyed my time at her place. And she's awesome!"
4023245,50664588,2015-10-13,12696090,Rachael,"Our host was really nice and welcoming! Good house with all the necessary toiletries and everything. Good neighborhood, felt safe. 
The only set back was we did not have the house to ourselves the whole time, (which she says might happen in her description)but other than that everything was great!  "
1267686,5357243,2013-06-25,5966426,Robert,"Casey's apartment is AMAZING! Clean, beautifully furnished and in a great location just blocks from 6th street.  Casey was really helpful and accommodating, suggesting all the local things Austin has to offer.  She was very easy to communicate with re: check in/check out time and was always available to ask questions while we stayed.  Would DEFINITELY recommend to others!"
1267686,5480121,2013-07-01,7042181,James,"Awesome place!  Clean, quiet and comfortable.  Close to everything and easy to get to. Would definitely stay here again.  Casey was great!"
1267686,5615778,2013-07-08,6835388,Rory,"Casey was great, started off my trip perfectly by meeting me at the apartment (waiting for me when I got there).  She showed me around, gave me the keys and towels and helped me with directions to a few spots I was interested in checking out.

As for the apartment itself, I really could not ask for anything better!  First off, the location was perfect, right near downtown, just up the road from the lake and all it has to offer.  Very trendy and well decorated.  The size was perfect with tons of natural light in every room (with blinds to close up if need be).  All the appliacnes worked great, kitchen has utinsels, plates, cups, pots and pans, etc for your use with a dining room just off to the side.  The bedroom was sized well and the bed very comfortable.  To top it off, everything was perfectly clean.

All in all, it is a perfect place to stay in an amazing city.  I would absolutely recommend staying at Casey's apartment when you are in town and will absolutely being staying there again!

Thanks Casey!"
1267686,5850634,2013-07-19,7204923,Justin,"Where do we even begin?!!  Casey was such a gracious host.  Her apartment is located in a great spot for those interested in a truly local experience.  Coffee shop, grocery store, restaurants and bus stop are all within walking distance.  Her space was extremely welcoming, comfortable and clean.  The A/C was definitely a big plus!  

As for Casey, she was quick to reply to any and all of our questions and went above and beyond to help us out.  She gave us a lot of information on things to see and do in Austin (bars, restaurants, music, sight-seeing etc.) - all of her recommendations were bang on.  

Bottom line, anyone would be lucky to stay at Casey's place.  We can't wait to go back!

Unrelated to Casey, we feel that Austin is more of a driving city.  Although we walked a lot, it wasn't ideal in the Texas heat.  Public transportation isn't as efficient as what we're use to coming from a big city.  So, we'd recommend renting a car or calling a cab. "
1267686,6305804,2013-08-07,7302066,Peggy,"We very much enjoyed our stay at Casey's apartment.  It was spacious, clean, and comfortable and in a very central location.  Very glad to have stayed here on my first visit to Austin and would certainly recommend it to others.  Thanks, Casey!"
1267686,7871227,2013-10-07,303226,Julie,"Casey was an amazing host, and was more than generous with her time over the weekend.  Her apartment is cozy, comfortable, and close to all of the local entertainment Austin has to offer.  Our stay was made even more enjoyable because of great personality.  "
1267686,8129943,2013-10-17,4158382,Christina,"We had a great stay in Austin at Casey's apartment. It's in a nice neighborhood close to everything! We had easy access to the interstate, downtown, and UT campus. Casey made check in and check out very easy and convenient. The apartment is really nice and the bed is extremely comfortable. It's off the busy road a little so it's nice and quiet while also convenient being close to a major road. I would definitely recommend to stay at Casey's apartment! "
1267686,10441489,2014-02-18,7000852,Samantha,"Casey and her home and awesome. Highly recommend a stay there to anyone spending time in Austin. Great neighborhood, nice restaurants just a couple blocks away, good grocery store. The apartment itself is charming and cool. "
1267686,10553013,2014-02-24,23102,Graham,"Casey was welcoming and had the place looking clean and tidy when we turned up. The apartment is a decent size, and newly decorated, but the building and outside area could do with a little work. "
1267686,11181607,2014-03-24,2961482,Peter,"Casey was a wonderful, friendly host and waited patiently for our arrival after our flight arrived late. Her apartment was perfect for our visit. Quiet, clean, and conveniently located. We would absolutely stay again!"
1267686,11402924,2014-04-01,8256252,Pam,This apartment is great. Fantastic location in the Clarksville area. Easy walk to grocery store and some of the best restaurants in Austin.  Casey is a wonderful host. Highly recommend.
1267686,12205418,2014-04-26,8385471,J.,"Casey's apartment is conveniently located in the Clarksville area. It was a nice stroll to a tasty coffee shop, local grocery store and some nice restaurants. The flat itself is well decorated, spacious & comfortable.

We experienced 2 problems with the flat - it was minimally cleaned and we were not made aware that she lives with 2 dogs there. The flat looked exactly like the pictures when I arrived, but dog hair and dust were everywhere. It was not vacuumed and too many surfaces where decorated with dog hair - furniture, tables, counters, blinds, etc. Casey mentions that she ""loves her two rat terriers"" in her personal profile but this, to us, did not mean the flat had dogs, especially since it did not mention it in the flat description and the ""pets allowed"" option is not checked. "
1267686,17422543,2014-08-11,19124847,Tommy,"Casey was very flexible with us, getting her place ready on extremely short notice when we were suddenly in need of a place to stay.

The apartment itself was great - clean and comfortable, and in a very convenient location.  Checking in and out was a breeze and Casey left us a very nice, detailed set of notes that preemptively answered any question we may have had.

For those of you visiting from out of town, as a former resident of the neighborhood, I highly recommend the Clarksville area for any Austin trip, and Casey's place is a great way to take advantage."
1267686,17812091,2014-08-17,12025810,Tony,"Casey's place was an absolute charmer. Situated in a beautiful area just out of the way enough to be peaceful, but close enough to be convenient. Her apartment was cozy, elegant, and had plenty of the austin character you'd expect.

Casey also couldn't have been more accommodating. She was friendly, funny, and quick to get out of our hair (even though we could've soaked up her bubbly personality for a while longer).

Thanks for putting us up on such short notice Casey!"
1267686,20325793,2014-09-27,21807765,Justin,"Casey is an awesome host. She was able to get the apartment ready for us last minute. She was very accommodating.  The place does have its charms, and it was a great experience. Casey even gave us a list of places to try for food, as well as good bars. She was very friendly, and we will most likely stay at her place again if it's available the next time we visit.  "

1267686,21200819,2014-10-13,8440005,Stacy,"Casey's apartment was perfect for our trip. It was convenient to many restaurants,shops and a grocery store. We were also able to walk to most places that we wanted to check out.
The apartment itself was comfortable and had everything we needed.
We will be back!"
1267686,21535662,2014-10-19,1222285,Sarah,"We loved Casey's place! We spent one night there in October and it was a great location for getting a quick taste of Austin before heading on our road trip to the hill country. The apartment is just lovely. It has an antique charm and is decorated so beautifully. The location is not walkable to downtown, but the neighborhood has a few sweet little restaurants and coffee shops within a few blocks. Downtown is reachable by car in about 10 minutes. If we are back in Austin again, we will definitely try to stay at Casey's place!"
1267686,21892303,2014-10-26,20082218,Jeff,"Casey was a great host. This was our first experience with Airbnb, and I don't think we could have been happier. The place was very nice and in a great location. The space was clean, and Casey was great at updating us as we were arriving. She also was a very good resource for things to do in Austin. She had great recommendations for all that we asked for. We were honestly a little nervous about Airbnb, but now will definitely be using it in the future and hoping to find spaces like this one and hosts like Casey! I highly recommend."

1267686,26558014,2015-02-15,7427674,Brooke,"Casey's place is adorable! Part of a duplex with shared parking to another duplex. Parking is tight and the landlord forced us to move our car (quite dramatically) to a side street for parking. I would suggest never attempting to park near the house. 

The home has tons of character and a unique Austin hipster vibe. The bed is so comfy and we enjoyed movie night with her Netflix and HBO selections. FYI,  there's no microwave but Casey did provide a kettle for making tea. The shower also has hot and cold reversed and Casey explained that clearly when we checked in. 

Location is great- we biked everywhere in downtown Austin, and were only 10 mins from the Capitol and 15 from 6th street. Casey did warn us of the big hill, and said it might be tough on bikes, but it really wasn't bad and we enjoyed. 

We ate at Galaxy Café and bought groceries at the local mart, all within walking distance. Very nice location and we would stay again."
1267686,29733739,2015-04-12,13437677,Marcos,We had a great time. The apartment was well located and had everything we needed. Casey was very helpful. 
1267686,37234286,2015-07-05,24237880,Alex,"My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed our 4-night stay in Casey's apartment.  As advertised, its location is ideal for those wanting to explore downtown Austin and other surrounding neighborhoods. Parking on the nearby street was never an issue.

The apartment itself was quite tidy (but not sparkling), and accurately represented in the listing photos.  The air conditioning kept the space nice and cool, and the bed was very comfortable.

Finally, Casey was an excellent communicator and very responsive throughout the whole process.  The fresh towels and mini-bottles of shower supplies were a nice touch.  Overall, a fine place to stay!"
5606566,28435646,2015-03-23,28618649,Andrew,"Staying with Roli was great! We got stuck in traffic driving from Nashville to Austin and he was completely accommodating,  even though we arrived later at night. He even welcomed us with some drinks keepin cool in our room mini fridge. He offered us rides during SXSW (since he's on the road lots for Uber), and even helped us pick up our car when it was towed during the festival. An incredible host, and the place is just a walk across the river from downtown! A wonderful place for travellers wanting to check out downtown and the surrounding area by foot."
5606566,29241513,2015-04-05,3609775,Oscar,"I stayed at Rolando's place on my last night in Texas, his place is conveniently located near downtown and S Congress. The place is very clean and comfortable. He was very responsive and made sure that i felt like home. I'd recommend it to anybody."
5606566,37264776,2015-07-05,35248305,Agnes,"This was a great place to stay. Rolando was really flexible with my group because we didn't know exactly when we'd be arriving in Austin. He left us towels, etc. He checked in to make sure everything was ok or if we needed anything, but not intrusively. This condo is just south of downtown Austin, and my group was able to walk and take cheap cabs to 6th street. It's also appx one mile west of I35, so easy access to the interstate. Overall good experience. "
5606566,39894759,2015-07-26,36724175,Melati,"We only stayed at Rolando's condo for one night, but it was an enjoyable and comfortable stay. Very clean, organized, and quiet. Everything was ready when we got there. His apartment is located close to the down town areas of Austin. Very flexible with check in/ out time. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Austin area. "
5606566,40826881,2015-08-02,28256798,Jesus,"The place was great, it was exactly as described, Rolando was very cool and attentive... Very Clean and comfortable space..."
5606566,41873037,2015-08-09,32055885,Swords,"My friends and I had a great stay at Rolando's place. It was a solid location, clean, and had the best massage chair west of the Mississippi. Even though he was unable to be there due to some urgent matters, he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would recommend this stay to anybody. Thanks Rolando."
5606566,44009519,2015-08-23,20519129,Min,"Rolando was a very kind host. The location of the place was very convenient for both the day activities and the nights. We had no issues finding this place. One of the challenges we had was that he left to be out of town for the weekend, however, his cousin and his friends were staying at the same time of our stay. I was not fully aware that 7 people had to share one bathroom. It was a bit uncomfortable to have a stranger sleeping in the living room when we almost arranged to have two additional guest with me under the condition of two sleeping in the living room with additional charge. Although there were some mishaps, this is a great, affordable place with convinent location."
5606566,47921925,2015-09-21,44117377,Cameron,Great place.  Great location.  Good size apartment.  Nice and quiet but near attractions.
5606566,48658924,2015-09-27,44606828,Joseph,"I stayed with 3 friends for one night, and it was fairly easy to arrange. Rolando was prompt and friendly in his communications, though we only saw him briefly as we arrived. The room and the condo was clean and pleasant. Rolando has a roommate who lives in a separate room, and our only issue arose when the roommate returned around 3am very drunk and couldn't open the door with his own key, so one of us let him in. There were no problems after that, though, and all in all it was a good place to stay for the price. "
5606566,50375710,2015-10-11,3101999,Estefania,"This has been the worst experience in Airbnb so far.

Despite the fact that Rolando never show up ( which I know from other airbnb experiences is not a must) but when you are open and willing to host people at your place the least you can do is clean your house/room + common spaces. 
It is BASIC to share basic information such as do's and don'ts but the cherry on the pie was the bathroom, we didn't even want to touch anything - it was so disgusting- yet, I did complain about how filthy the bathroom was and Rolando didn't even mind. 

I totally encourage Airbnb to keep an eye on who is allowed to announce their properties in. 

Bummer Rolando

958523,3784063,2013-03-14,5187784,Carrie,"Joe's SoCo apartment in Austin, TX, is certainly a top of the line living space! I'm the kind of guy who likes a modestly-sized and affordable place to stay when I travel –– All I ever need is a comfortable bed and a bathroom. With Joe's ""Pad,"" though, I not only got a restful bed on which to lay my head, but an entire studio-sized room that is super for one or two people to come home to after a day out on 6th Street or cruising the streets of Austin. What's more, the ""Pad"" is equipped with just about everything you'd need for a solid stay away from home. I highly, highly recommend Joe's ""Pad"" for any visit you may take to Austin. Rest assured, this is the only place I'll ever be staying each and every time I'm in Austin!"
958523,3822893,2013-03-18,3187991,Amanda,"This space was super clean, efficient and perfect for my needs during SXSW in Austin. It was quiet, parking was accessible and everything was modern and new. I plan to stay here again during the festival next year as well as just some get away time.. oh I should mention.. I didnt want to get out of the bed.. like, EVER. it was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. High thread count as well."
958523,3882458,2013-03-24,2401935,Lynette,"This was our first stay with Airbnb, and Joe was so patient with us as we learned to navigate the process.  Once confirmed, we received a very thorough packet outlining the directions and expectations.  Thanks to this, all was exactly as expected, from the moment we pulled into the neighborhood and then walked in the door.  The Pint-Sized-Pad is Adorable, and in spite of its minimalist lines, it had absolutely everything we needed - and it is brand new!  Joe e-mailed during the stay to see if we needed anything, but we were otherwise left uninterrupted to enjoy our Anniversary weekend.  The location was ideal for tourists wanting to stroll the SoCo shops, and anyone hoping to get a healthy 10,000 steps in a day shouldn't hesitate to leave their car parked at Joe's.  The price was truly a bargain, and we would love to come stay at Joe's Pint-Sized-Pad in the future!"
958523,3929244,2013-03-28,2011754,Julie,"I am a frequent guest at Joe's other properties, but this was my first stay at the Pint-Size-Studio-Pad. I loved it! It was comfy (especially the bed), cozy, and well decorated. The location is great (right off SOCO and close to downtown), and Joe is an excellent host. I highly recommend this property. "
958523,4005980,2013-04-02,4950585,Adriana,"Joe is a top of the line host and makes every effort to help you and walk you through the process. The pint sized pad puts you at a great location. You are literally a block away from SoCo in a quiet street. You have The Crow Bar a block away which we made our last stop of the day, every day. There are bus stops nearby on SoCo if you don't want to walk downtown (but it is totally walkable) and you have plenty of eating and shopping choices nearby. The pad itself is the perfect place to unwind and relax after getting your healty dose of walking wonderful Austin. The place is nicely decorated and modern. The bed is very comfy and bedding fresh, you have a small kitchenette with everything you need in case you want to cook a little something and lots of fresh towels (really, LOTS!). Honestly, I don't think you can get anything better for the price.
"
958523,4080533,2013-04-08,4026811,Matthew,"Joe is excellent! He clearly takes hosting very seriously, and makes every effort to be communicative and helpful. The pint sized pad was perfect for us. The bed is SOOOO comfy and the shower is big and hot, no problems with the place at all. Lots of fresh towels, cable TV, and only one block from SoCo."

Joe is a great host and is always available if you have questions. Anytime that I am in Austin, I will always be staying at one of Joe's properties if they're available..  Very enjoyable experience!!"

It was conveniently located to everything I needed and wanted to see. I came to Austin to relax and it was perfect for me.  The welcome packet was very on point. Joe provided plenty of details and even suggestions for places to visit.  I felt very safe and definitely would stay here again."
958523,4302739,2013-04-26,5256115,Teresa,So glad I found this place! Just right for one or two people. Always clean and fresh.  Great communication. Wonderful experience!

958523,4447196,2013-05-06,3309390,Karen,"The ""pint size bungalow"" was absolutely perfect for my husband and I.  We spent 3 great nights and got a good nights sleep each night.  The bed is exceptionally comfortable and the bungalow has everything needed for a perfect long weekend or an extended stay.  Joe is very organized and check in and check out have never been easier.  I will definitely stay in one of Joe's properties again when I am in Austin.  "
958523,4519066,2013-05-10,2011754,Julie,"Love the SoCo Bungalow! It's super convenient to SoCo and downtown. The place is very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Joe is the best host. I stay at his properties as often as possible when I visit Austin. Highly recommended!"

958523,4766014,2013-05-24,5973241,Sarah,"The SOCO Bungalow was a small oasis from the heat.  I stayed for 4 nights, and was very happy with it.  It was very very clean, and the bed and pillows were very comfortable.  It has a small kitchenette if you don't want to go out to eat every night.  I was in Austin for work and found this to be a perfect place to stay, and will def stay again when I'm back there for work.  The location is a bit far from all of the restaurants on South Congress, about a 20 min walk, or a $9 cab ride.  This is a good spot if you have a rental car.     "
958523,4853113,2013-05-28,6531950,Jae,"We had a wonderful stay at Joe & Bella's SoCo Bungalow and would definitely recommend it to friends.  It is the perfect size for two people and conveniently located near all the action on South Congress.  Fresh towels, cable TV, a comfy bed, and a clean suite overall made for a much more pleasant stay than a typical hotel, in my opinion.  "
958523,4905473,2013-06-01,2011754,Julie,"Joe and Bella are excellent hosts! I love all of their properties and try to stay with them every time I'm in town. The SoCo Bungalow is super cute, clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!"

I fell in love with the lil bongelow as soon as I walked in. From the modern decor to the cute lil kitchen set up I loved every min of staying there. And it is very close to so many place to visit in that area. Bella and Joe you guys have done and great job!!! If anyone In Austin looking for a clean relaxing ""no frills"" place to stay this has to be your stop!!!!  "
958523,5000676,2013-06-06,3076580,Marci,"This was my first Airbnb booking, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Joe and Bella responded to me right away to let me know when they would be available to answer questions that I had. They were also quite responsive to my query about the television upon arrival and helped to troubleshoot the issue from afar. Their welcome packet covered many key points, not only about the check-in and check-out process, but helpful info to navigate around Austin. The accommodations were perfect for my needs-small, yet including everything necessary for my stay. The place was very clean. In fact, so clean that I was almost afraid to touch anything! And the bed lived up to my expectations based on everyone else's reviews. I slept over 10 hours the first night I was there! If I ever return to Austin, I would definitely consider a stay at one of Joe and Bella's properties for sure!"
958523,5163762,2013-06-16,4782158,Veronica,My stay at the SoCo Bungalow was perfect. Joe and Bella were very friendly and prompt with all communication. There were absolutely no problems with check in or check out. The location was great- close to Austin fun but tucked away in a quite neighborhood. I definitely recommend this property and would stay here again. 
958523,5246231,2013-06-20,5912225,Melissa,"Joe and Bella's place was the perfect base for us in Austin. Great area (SoCo) close to all amenities and the main strip. The place itself was extremely clean and well equipped, with lovely comfortable bed too. Everything regarding the booking was faultless and Bella was a pleasure to meet. We would definitely recommend this and would love to stay there again."
958523,5365510,2013-06-26,6465480,Patricia,"We enjoyed our stay at the SoCo Bungalow.  The room was very clean and was exactly what we were looking for. The only issue we had was with the parking.  One night there was no parking available unless we parked on another street, this was due to the Crow Bar down the street.  Another night our one and only designated parking spot was taken by the trash cans waiting to be emptied the next day and once again there were no other spots available on the street."
958523,5583083,2013-07-07,6705847,Helen,"We had a wonderful time in Austin, TX!  The location of Joe and Bella's bungalow was just perfect for us, close to downtown and within walking distance to the action of SOCO.  Their bungalow was perfect, very clean and exceeded our expectations (this was our first time using Airbnb and we'll do it again!  They described the parking situation perfectly!  The welcome packet was perfect and we had no difficulties finding the bungalow or entering it!  Joe was very attentive and responsive through e-mail!  We had everything we needed inside the bungalow once we arrived.  it smelled like home and we encourage anyone visiting Austin to stay with Joe and Bella.  Awesome experience.  Thank you, Joe and Bella for sharing your corner of Austin with us for a few days!"
958523,5826216,2013-07-18,701009,Frank,"Small but very efficient unit, lots of privacy.  Good for two people but no more.  Very clean and close to downtown activities by either car or bus."
958523,5967213,2013-07-24,6765560,Elina,"Joe & Bella's little bungalow was an excellent place stay in the SoCo area. The unit was very clean, had nice comfy bed, pillows and towels, good storage for clothing, and a small but very functional kitchenette with all the utensils one would need on a vacation. I had easy and quick communication with Joe and Bella via Airbnb email. Would definitely stay here again!"
958523,6118180,2013-07-30,4930794,Alyssa,"This was a very cozy little pad, just what we were looking for, and the price was just right for our four day stay.  It was clean, with a super comfortable bed and pillows, nice fluffy towels, and lots of areas to store clothes and little cubbies for all of my girly bathroom bottles and gadgets.  The little fridge and stovetop came in handy for making tea and storing perishables.  The location is in a groovy neighborhood close to all of the action in our favorite part of Austin.  We would definitely stay there again."
958523,6286599,2013-08-06,3895590,Maura,"Excellent!! It was a great oasis away from home with an OK incredible location. Joe and Bella were gracious hosts. It truly was a wonderful stay.  From  the comfortable beds to the Incredible location, the bungalow was perfect!"

958523,6494001,2013-08-14,4260841,Chris,"For the price, it's unbeatable value. Really easy, no messing around with getting the keys off someone, waiting around, or anything like that. No fuss. And the best pub I visited all weekend was the one on the corner of the road... The Crow!"
958523,6807326,2013-08-26,6675870,Seamus,"This place was amazing!!  Fully renovated, self contained bungalow.  Everything was like new and was of hotel quality.  Heaps of info provided on local amenities, transport and places to go.  A short bus ride to SoCo shops.  I hired a bike and could get to all my favourite music within 5-10mins.  Short ride or walk  to Bog Stacey swimming pool.  Really friendly, really helpful.  Highly recommend"
958523,6918016,2013-08-30,2011754,Julie,Joe and Bella are great hosts! I am a frequent guest of theirs. I love the Bungalow and all of their properties. My highest recommendation!

958523,7726024,2013-09-30,5759317,Meghan,"This was our second time staying at one of Joe and Bellas's properties, and like the Hideaway did not disappoint. After graciously offering to host us las minute, the bungalow was immaculately clean and cozy. It's in a great neighborhood and a short drive from downtown making it ideal for anything you'd like to see while in Austin. Joe and Bella are easy to communicate with and fast with responsive for any questions we had. Their properties have and will remain our top choice when staying in Austin!"
958523,7812820,2013-10-04,2011754,Julie,"Love Joe & Bella! Love the bungalow. I stay at one of their properties at least once a month, and am never disappointed. Highly recommended!"
958523,7940158,2013-10-09,2018852,Jessica,"My husband and I recently spent 5 nights at Joe & Bella's Bungalow. Everything was described to a T including the instructions on how to enter. With all the necessary essentials provided, our stay was very nice. The bungalow was conveniently located and we ended up canceling our car rental after one day. Getting around town via bus was easy and cheap. 

Do yourself a favor and be sure to visit the Crow Bar just at the end of the street. Great local bar with lots of character. There is also a laundromat two blocks away that offers wash and fold service. We took advantage of that during our stay after spending three sweaty days at ACL. 

I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again for a future visit. "
958523,8151418,2013-10-18,2011754,Julie,"Joe and Bella are fantastic hosts! They take great care of me every time I stay at one of their properties, which is often. All of the spaces are clean and comfortable. Plus, the location is great. Highly recommended. "
958523,8217105,2013-10-21,3359720,Roman,"Great place. Great spot. So easy to get onto 71 or 35. Close to SoCo shops and restaurants. A nice neighborhood for a morning walk. We were impressed with how tidy and well organized the bungalow was. Everything was very efficient, very clean, and comfortable. Joe and Bella did a great job putting this place together. We would definitely stay here again."
958523,8325121,2013-10-26,7569249,Rachelle,"This was our first time using Airbnb and to be honest, we were a bit nervous. We arrived to a perfect little bungalow that was cozy and had everything we needed. It was in a perfect location, quiet and private. We ran into Bella and she was lovely! I would highly recommend staying here for a home away from home feel! Thanks so much for making our stay in Austin amazing! "
958523,8409885,2013-10-29,8804487,Amy,"Had a wonderful stay, was a pleasure! Everything was exactly as pictured with no problems whatsoever. If I return to Austin I will book with you again! And will be sure to tell all my friends :)"

958523,8566520,2013-11-05,9186363,Briana,"My boyfriend and I stayed here this past weekend to attend a charity event in Austin.  The place was great! I was a little hesitant at first because it was the first time we used airbnb but we had such a great time! I would recommend having a car, as most things were pretty far away and we ended up spending a lot of money on cabs, but everything about the bungalow was perfect. The buses were really easy to navigate (and take cash! a wonderful practice that I am not used to in NYC) and the restaurants within walking distance of the bungalow were really delicious (i.e. Habana and Opal Divine). I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a really nice place to stay in Austin for an EXTREMELY reasonable rate. I would definitely stay here again!"
958523,8685042,2013-11-12,809451,Chelsey,"Joe and Bella's bungalow was adorable, clean and very comfortable. We had everything we needed and more (towels, coffee pot, comfy bed). The check-in process was easy and smooth, as well as check-out. The location was prime and the Crow Bar was awesome! I loved Austin and I know if I come back, I'd love to stay at Joe and Bella's again! :)"
958523,8757965,2013-11-16,9797867,Steve,"All I can do is corroborate the other reviews because everything was seamless and smooth, and delivered as promised.  Having little things like a microwave, mini fridge, stove top, toaster, some dishes really topped it all off.  Place was clean and is way better than renting some dingy hotel room!  The location is excellent, though slightly to the north would be more ideal so I recommend renting a car or using car2go.  I haven't got a negative thing to say!!"
958523,8889065,2013-11-24,4281678,Mary,"Our stay at Joe & Bella's place couldn't have been better!  When we entered the space we were so impressed with every detail, just adorable and so comfy in every way.  Joe and Bella were always quick to respond to any inquiries and such a pleasure to deal with.  The location is so close to all kinds of shopping and great food!  We were here on business but ended up feeling more like we were on vacation.  When we come back we'll be staying with these fine folks again for sure!!"
958523,8971355,2013-11-29,9953891,John,"Wonderfully cozy - a palace for two, beautifully decorated - a clean and marvelous abode.. bathroom has an amazing 'power shower'.  Set in a quiet residential neighborhood...very kind and responsive hosts... highly recommended
"

Everything else we were interested in on our trip was just a short drive away. The bungalow was exactly as described, clean and the perfect amount of space for my husband and myself. We will most definitely stay with Joe and Bella again when we are in the area."
958523,9091396,2013-12-06,2011754,Julie,"I am in Austin often for business and Joe and Bella's properties are like a second home. They are all clean, cozy, comfortable and in a great location. Highly recommended."
958523,9145256,2013-12-09,10159611,Megan,"Joe and Bella's bungalow was the perfect spot for our honeymoon weekend.  Clean, tidy, comfy bed, nice linens and a price you can't beat all in a great location. Magnolia Cafe is right up the street and is a must!!  "
958523,9242026,2013-12-16,9501994,Laura,"I stayed for a long weekend and it was exactly what I was hoping for! Everything was neat, clean, and adorably decorated.

958523,9772920,2014-01-09,833454,Bobby,"My first AirBNB experience and it couldn't have been more delightful thanks to Joe & Bella and this wonderful bungalow.

The bungalow was absolutely perfect, super comfortable, well appointed with anything you might need. The value compared to a hotel is unbeatable. 

Joe & Bella have this down pat; from the accommodation itself, to the welcome compendium, tips and pointers of the area, and their availability if you need them. 

Great location. Easy in to downtown. Quite neighborhood, with a great Austin Bar right up the corner. 

I will stay here again for sure.

"
958523,9973041,2014-01-22,9948153,Amy,"Unfortunately we never actually ended up meeting Joe and Bella, but the clear instructions in their guide made it easy to get in the bungalow. The guide also provides helpful information about local attractions and services. The space is, as they mention, somewhat small - not really a place to hang out and relax, but a place to sleep, store your bags, shower, and get ready to go explore Austin. It was very clean and quiet. This place is a great value, and has a nice location, although we drove around so I can't comment on how the buses are in that area. Thanks for hosting us!"
958523,10162084,2014-02-03,11528782,Jill,The bungalow was really comfortable and well-located.  I came into town for an interview at a nearby university and appreciated the proximity to SoCo when I had downtime as well as the quiet and proximity to the highway for the interview components of my trip.  I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Austin.   
958523,10259911,2014-02-10,393554,Karen And Jonathan,"Joe and Bella's bungalow was definitely one of the best airbnb experiences we've had.

958523,10740146,2014-03-05,319062,Michael,"We had a great time at the bungalow. Perfect for a couple on a weekend getaway. It drops 60 degrees while we were in Austin for the in wall heater came in handy, didn't need the ac. Super comfortable bed. Host is very responsive and helped us deal with some AirBnB payment issues. THANK YOU!"
958523,11051092,2014-03-18,11935313,Flash,I had a brilliant stay here for SXSW.  The busses were super convenient in the mornings to head down town.  The room was clean and cosy.  This was my first Airbnb experience so I had some trepidations but I can honestly say I will looking at booking with Joe and Bella for next year.
958523,11324697,2014-03-30,11710029,Jewanna,"This was our first Airbnb experience and it was perfect. The place was clean, smelled great, and was exactly as pictured (I think they may even use a professional cleaning service, it was that clean).
We could have easily been comfortable staying for a week or longer in the space. It's extremely well laid-out with nice touches (mounted flat screen, deluxe Kohler shower head) that don't make you miss staying at a hotel. 
The location was close to the hub of South Congress so we never felt removed from the action, but the block was very clean and quiet. Highly recommended."
958523,11416006,2014-04-01,13221812,Meghan,"This was my first time using Airbnb and it was WONDERFUL! We truly had a better experience than we have with hotels! The bungalow was so quaint and perfect, it had everything we needed and more! I must compliment the fun decor and cute neighborhood! Oh and the bed!!! It was comfy and soft! As the for the room goes, it obviously had a great insulation, because we never heard a peep (people or cars)!!!! I highly recommend staying at this property if you are in Austin. "
958523,11497234,2014-04-05,4363395,Casey,"The SoCo Bungalow is perfect!  Newly renovated bath, perfect kitchenette, most comfortable bed with luxury linens that smell amazing!  Slept like a baby!"
958523,11590160,2014-04-08,5154266,Raquel,"Oh my goodness what a perfect little spot! My boyfriend and I came to Austin for a long weekend, and the Bungalow was the perfect home base for our trip.

Joe and Bella pay attention to detail, and gave us suggestions & info before we even arrived. We'll definitely be back again! :)"
958523,11796389,2014-04-15,11953664,Karissa,"The SoCo Bungalow was super cute and cozy. The pictures Joe & Bella have posted are a true representation of the space. The bungalow is within walking distance of all the fun bars and restaurants on South Congress which made it great for stumbling home late at night. The bed was comfortable as were all the pillows that accompanied it. While I did not use the kitchenette it was super cute and I found it would great for one to two people if they wanted to prepare a meal. The bathroom was clean, the towels were soft and felt just like the ones you'll find in a fancy hotel.

I highly recommend staying at Joe & Bella's bungalow, you won't be disappointed!"
958523,11959272,2014-04-20,774060,Cassie,"We had a wonderful stay at Joe & Bella's bungalow.  The place was spotless, and very well designed with a space for everything.  We loved that there was a little kitchen so we could cook our own breakfasts and store leftovers.  The bus stop is super close, so we made good use of the bus system to get around the city and to and from the airport.  Would definitely stay here again!"
958523,12092220,2014-04-22,12025810,Tony,"Joe and Bella's SoCo Bungalow was exactly what we were looking for. A clean, modern, and cozy spot close to everything we wanted to do. Fresh linens, a soft mattress and pillows...what more do you need?

Joe and Bella were thorough and professional, and always available if we had any questions—yet fully respected our space and privacy. There's a reason they have so many positive reviews. 

If you're thinking about booking here, don't hesitate. Better than a hotel stay at half the price."
958523,12342296,2014-04-29,5364919,Alexandra,"Joe and Bella were wonderful hosts and give their guests great support and privacy. The SoCo Bungalow had everything we needed and was incredibly clean and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great and the bed was really comfy! Bella and Joe provide a very helpful welcome packet that explains how to access the bungalow, where to park, and other helpful local tips. The bungalow is very private and on a quiet, beautiful residential street. SoCo is just minutes away and there are bus stops that get you to SoCo and downtown in minutes just steps from the bungalow. Their price for the space was such a great deal- the best I found in my search for a place to stay in Austin. Thank you again Joe and Bella. We love Austin!"
958523,12496498,2014-05-04,13498929,Puja,"I stayed at Joe and Bella's SoCo Bungalow for three nights during a solo visit to Austin.

I highly recommend the bungalow to anyone who is looking to travel to Austin.  "
958523,12661584,2014-05-07,3274365,John,"Had a great stay at the Bungalow!  Located in a charming neighborhood, turned out to be the perfect location for access to shops and restaurants on South Congress and only a short drive to downtown.  We were also able to take a short stroll down the road to the Crow Bar, a great place for hanging out on the patio after a long day exploring Austin.  The room was lovely and easy to access, and the space saving amenities were very well thought out and organized. Recommend!"

We really loved the neighborhood because it's so walkable! There were lots of bars and shops within walking distance and it's proximity to SOCO and downtown was perfect. "

It was very clean and comfortable and quiet - Just what we we're looking for as a nice little get away from the hectic pace of New York City. We didn't even bother renting a car and were able to get around Austin by bus, bicycle, and on foot. Would easily stay here again and highly recommend it, especially for those who want easy accessibility to the SoCo area and all that it has to offer. Thanks so much to Joe & Bella!"

This is my kind of AirBNB stay:  lots of detailed information ahead of time, and very low maintenance check in and out. The bungalow I stayed in was super quiet and the bed very comfortable. Thanks!"
958523,15764976,2014-07-15,372432,Bridget,My husband and I came to Austin to celebrate a friend's wedding. The SoCo Bungalow was the perfect place for us. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. We loved the little kitchenette and were able to save some money on our trip by making our own breakfast. The location of the bungalow is very convenient and in a neat part of Austin. We appreciated Joe and Bella's welcome packet as it gave very clear instructions and also provided some good tips for places to go nearby. We'd definitely stay here again.
958523,16293420,2014-07-25,15010511,Walter,"Fantastic stay in Austin!  Joe and Bella's place was exactly as described-perfect size for a solo traveler (or a relatively tidy and lightly packed couple) on a week's stay.  I never found myself wanting for anything.  The neighborhood was very cute and right near a few little gems (Torchy's, Crows' Nest + Goldi's in the parking lot which had one of the best sausages I've ever eaten) and is right across the street from a bus stop on the #1 line (S Congress St).  My advice would be to try to get a rental car or even a rental scooter if you plan on exploring.  Austin is pretty spread out if you are used to cities in the northeast and the wait for the bus can be as much as 30 minutes.  That said, as someone who is used to taking public transportation everywhere I made out very nicely with the bus (download the Cap Metro app for your phone) and ended up spending most of my time up and down South Congress and 1st Street."
958523,18910464,2014-09-02,5759317,Meghan,"This was our second time staying at the bungalow and Joe and Bella's properties are always our first choice when visiting Austin.

I'll definitely stay again!"
958523,20379860,2014-09-28,7407724,Tamara,"Ms. Bella was so nice and helpful when she contacted me on the phone to help change my itinerary.  The instructions were very clear and conscise and included local eateries, markets, laundry, and other things.  They had the fan and the air conditioner on before I got to the apartment.  It is a very comfortable and quite self sufficient apartment. My sister and I loved it.  We hope to stay here again when we go to Austin for another run."
958523,20670222,2014-10-03,4363395,Casey,"The Bungalow is so perfect!  It is furnished with modern touches- espresso finished cabinetry in the bath, awesome kitchenette perfect for late night snacks, and the best bedding- the sheets are so soft and smell wonderful!  I love the Bungalow!"

958523,21293440,2014-10-14,18151639,JoAnn,"My husband and I stayed here for the ACL music festival.  There is a bus nearby that goes to Barton Spring's Road, and Zilker Park is walkable from there (or you can relax and take a pedicab if inclined!)  The host's instructions are very clear, and the key was available when we arrived at 3pm on our first day.  We were also easily able to leave on our own at 5am on our checkout day.  The neighborhood is great - Crow Bar was within short walking distance (although we never had a chance to go), and many restaurants and the highway are easily accessible.  Parking was also never a problem.  As the reviews describe, the room is very small - more like an efficiency/hotel room - 1 room with a very comfortable queen bed, small table with 2 chairs, mini kitchenette area with glasses and utensils, a small bathroom with towels, and a flat screen TV on the wall in front of the bed.  However, this place was perfect for sleeping at night, showering, and relaxing in the morning/afternoon before enjoying Austin.  Although we never met in person, Joe & Bella were quick to communicate, and I appreciated the clear instructions and smooth process in place for check in/check out.  We would definitely stay here, and/or at one of Joe & Bella's other properties, again.  Although our rate seemed a little pricey for the size of the place, we were also well aware that this was due to being ACL weekend.  In reality, it was a bargain compared to most rentals and any hotel available in the area.   Thank you for sharing your place with us! "
958523,21616925,2014-10-20,244063,Carl,"The room was accurately described:  clean, professionally decorated, very comfortable bed with high quality linens.  These are professional airbnb hosts, they apparently have a bunch of properties, so don't expect to meet them unless you have an issue. Pay attention to what is and is not included: unlike a hotel room, there are no toiletries beyond a bar of soap.   If you're used to personal attention and interacting with the hosts and their pets, this isn't your spot. If you want privacy and a hotel room experience in a neighborhood, pick this one. "
958523,22023213,2014-10-28,587934,Lisa,"As always, staying at one of Joe and Bella's cottages was relaxing and comfortable. Though this space was small, it had absolutely everything we needed to get a hot shower, good night's rest, and cup of coffee in the morning. Even the curbside parking was close and convenient! When we travel to Austin, we always check with Joe and Bella for a consistently great place to stay, and we are never disappointed. Highly recommended!"
958523,22412219,2014-11-05,3128205,Lindsey,"The host provided a thorough welcome packet that neatly laid out all of the information you need to know about staying in the studio, including parking information, local eateries and wifi passwords. It was very organized and an easy check-in process.
The studio was very clean and comfortable, comparable to a nice hotel. The bed and sheets were nice and the pillows were fantastic. It's everything you'd need in a place to stay.
However, two out of three nights, we were woken up by the neighbors fighting both inside and outside of their home, as well as people from the local bar. It was quite frightening and worth sharing in the reviews. For boasting about 485 five-star ratings, I think it deserves closer to 3 or 4 stars."
958523,22508855,2014-11-08,4363395,Casey,"Bungalow is perfect!  Better than a hotel room, I always enjoy my stay!"
958523,22659874,2014-11-11,5941767,Timmy,Great little spot on the south side of Austin. Really close to a pretty excellent coffee shop and a 10 min drive to the middle of the city. Has everything you need and the price was the best we could find!
958523,22987691,2014-11-19,222075,Lynna,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Joe & Bella's Bungalow for 4 nights and were very happy with the cleanliness and amenities of the space. It's a small place, but just right for a few nights.  Multiple clean towels are provided, the bed is comfortable and the temperature is easily controlled.  We rented a car, which I would recommend, and almost everything in Austin was no more than 15-20 mins away.

Coordinating with Joe & Bella was simple and they responded to any inquires in a timely manner. Everything was just as expected! No complaints."
958523,25420214,2015-01-15,5256115,Teresa,"As always, the stay in any of the properties managed by Joe was great!!  Joe is helpful, the communication is wonderful and the accommodations are great!  Always look forward my stay!"
958523,25672134,2015-01-22,5256115,Teresa,Another great stay with Joe and Bella as hosts.  They are always so accommodating and the cottages are spotless and welcoming.  I highly recommend staying in one of their properties.
958523,26466634,2015-02-13,5256115,Teresa,Great Stay! Clean and comfortable!
958523,26708834,2015-02-17,9759297,Peter,"I've stayed at Joe & Bella's place on several occassions now, however this was my first time in th Guest Bungalow.  Needless to say I felt in familiar surroundings with all the nice touches I've become accustomsed to.  I would recommemd the Guest Bungalow to any single person or couple looking for a quiet, clean and well appointed place to stay in Austin, in an excellent location..."
958523,26845510,2015-02-20,5256115,Teresa,"As always, my stay was excellent.  This is truly my home away from home!"
958523,28169156,2015-03-19,15670392,Lena,"Nice and comfy bungalow in south Austin. It's perfect if you are looking for a quiet home during SXSW and want to avoid crowdy downtown. The neighborhood is very small, secure and quiet. Joe and Bella are well organised and gave me all the information needed before I arrived. 
Supermarkets and the bus stop to downtown are just around the corner. 
As a travelling woman I never felt unsafe around there. 

Wer eine ruhige Unterkunft zur SXSW sucht und das überlaufene Zentrum vermeiden möchte, ist hier richtig. Der kleine zweckmäßig eingerichtete Bungalow liegt in einer sehr ruhigen Nachbarschaft und ist nur wenige Gehminuten von einer Bushaltestelle (15 Minuten ins Zentrum) sowie mehreren kleinen Supermärkten entfernt. "
958523,28441975,2015-03-23,23221170,Karen,"This place was fantastic.... the neighborhood was great, the place was just as advertised...small but super comf... I only met Bella but she was very welcoming..  fun bar just up the street and a delicious place for coffee a couple of blocks away.. I hate to rave too much, because I want it to be available next time I visit.. and there will definitely be a next time!

Thanks Y'all..."
958523,29764388,2015-04-12,929325,John,"Joe and Bella's Bungalow in Austin was very cozy and very clean. Everything was as described. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom is modern, there were linens, soap, a hair dryer, etc. It's a quick, easy ride to the downtown area and even closer to nice shops and restaurants on S. Congress St. If I return to Austin, I will definitely try to rent from Joe and Bella again. "
958523,30149311,2015-04-18,20110260,Maggie,"We enjoyed our stay in this adorable bungalow so much! It looks exactly like the pictures. It's small, but just enough space for 2 for a few nights. It's also in a great location! Close to lots of shops and restaurants and only a few miles to downtown. Bella was very sweet and we were provided with everything we needed. Loved it! "
958523,30422880,2015-04-21,6771696,Kim,"We enjoyed our stay at the guest bungalow.  It was exactly as described, clean and a perfect size for two people.  The directions were very clear and made it easy to find the bungalow and check in and out.  Parking was a little difficult to find when we first arrived due to overflow from the bar down the street, but wasn't a problem after that.  We did not meet Joe or Bella but based on our experience would not hesitate to book with them again."
958523,30809449,2015-04-27,12781813,Jessica,"Our stay at the bungalow was great!  We loved the location, as it was pretty close to where we wanted to be.  We also loved neighborhood in which the bungalow was located.  The place itself was perfect in terms of space, value, and description.  It was everything we needed for our stay.  Joe and Bella were 100% communicative and answered any questions that I had.  I would definitely book with them again for our next trip down!"
958523,31379320,2015-05-04,3617345,Tiffany,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were provided with a detailed list of instructions of how to enter the house. Our hosts were very organized and you could tell they have had a lot of visitors in the past! Very clean, plenty of space for two people. Reasonably priced and an inexpensive cab/Uber ride downtown. Would definitely stay here again! :)"
958523,31973108,2015-05-12,4961751,William,Great location for South Austin activities.  Bed is comfortable and new linens were nice and cool.  Bathroom has new fixtures and lots of hot water with great water pressure.  Will definitely consider staying here again!
958523,33303894,2015-05-26,18465620,Milo,Joe and Bella's place was just perfect for our stay in Austin. It had everything we needed. The vibe of the apartment fit in perfectly with Austin's welcoming and easy going atmosphere. We loved that it was so easy to get to and close to everything. We will definitely visit Joe and Bella's in the future and recommend this place to others! 
958523,35146475,2015-06-15,27948204,Vinnie,Quiet cozy space in a quiet cozy neighborhood just down the street from everything we wanted out of Austin. Couldn't ask for an more pleasurable experience. 
958523,35946791,2015-06-23,1583360,Tugba,"My husband and I just returned from a weekend getaway from Joe & Bella's apartment.  Even though we didn't get a chance to meet in person, the instructions provided prior to our arrival were very well written and made everything seamless.
The apartment itself is right off South Congress and less than a 5 minute drive to all of the restaurants/ boutiques etc.
The apartment has all the basic necessities and was just like the photos.  The place was clean and is perfect for a couple.
Overall, we had a great time in Austin and would recommend Joe & Bella's place for those who want a central location at a reasonable price in Austin."
958523,36606765,2015-06-29,3922532,Ruby,"Joe and Bella's place is clean and centrally located. They provide all the information you need upfront, and are very responsive during stay. It's a cozy place that comfortably sleeps two people.  We would stay there again. "

958523,44308649,2015-08-25,17573815,Becca,"Joe and Bella's guest bungalow was perfect for my weekend getaway in Austin! The place is very well built and maintained. It has wooden floors, a comfortable bed, new appliances (including an amazing shower!!!) and it is very clean. The a.c works well. Amazing location too- it is perfect for getting to all of austin's most popular attractions with ease!"
958523,45711477,2015-09-05,4363395,Casey,Joe & Bella are the perfect hosts!  The property is always beautifully maintained!  Bella even came to my rescue when I locked my keys inside!  Thank you! Thank you!
958523,49640860,2015-10-05,15900553,Zachary,"Everything starts with a conversation and a welcome packet. In this regard, Joe and Bella were great from the get go. From talking with them on Airbnb to the listing and the info they provided before our arrival, I felt we knew exactly what to do when we got to Austin and what to expect during our stay. 

Everything was exactly as they had described. Their welcome packet had all the info we needed. Our stay was pleasant and uninterrupted. 

The location is great. The place was clean. 

Finally met Bella on the last day and she's super nice. I'd recommend staying at any of their places."
958523,50676112,2015-10-13,44444239,Elisabeth,"Clean place with everything you need for a weekend getaway.  Close to Congress Street, great location!"

Neighborhood was in a good central location, easily accessible and convenient with uber. Joe & Bella were very responsive and had great communication! "
5498972,28334879,2015-03-22,4994380,Louise,Yes lovely thank you! Great place great host. 
5293137,28091531,2015-03-17,1869183,Thomas,Kayla was awesome! She was super responsive and accommodated us tremendously. It is a cozy and rustic home but enough space to sleep 4 comfortably and more if you request it. The late nights and mornings in Austin during the winter can be very cold so be sure to use blowing heaters she provides and the place doesn't have great insolation so it can end up being colder inside than outside. There's a little deck in the front of the house where we spent a good amount of time hanging out. There's a CVS across the street and good restaurants right around the corner if you want to walk. And it's a completely safe neighborhood to walk around in. I'd definitely recommend this place if you want something just outside of downtown in a nice neighborhood – thanks so much Kayla!
5293137,28365589,2015-03-22,28550871,Peggy,"The place was great! Convenient, and just what we needed for SXSW. Kayla was an accommodating host!"

5293137,29743834,2015-04-12,28416863,Jenessa,"The house was very clean, and I liked the way she set up the decor. She had two beds and a couch, and was also sweet enough to leave us an air mattress. It was a great place to stay for a large group, and in a great location!"
5293137,30273013,2015-04-19,3084293,Cyrus,My interactions with Kayla were very pleasant. She helped me out a lot by accommodating me on very short notice (same day request). Kayla was very nice and checked in on me. I would stay at kayla's home again without a doubt. Perfect for big groups that don't mind getting cozy! Thank you Kayla.
5293137,32949151,2015-05-23,33860028,Jeremy,Kayla is awesome! Did a great job communicating and coordinating our stay! Her place is very clean and comfortable. Would recommend to anyone!
5293137,33713654,2015-05-31,20850000,Makaela,The house a great location from Downtown Austin. We were close to most of our activities. The place was well kept and had provided. We did not have to bring cook ware or linens and we were a group of 7. Having WIFI was also a plus and Kayla was always a available to answer questions or assist us.
5293137,34342638,2015-06-07,33937692,Christina,Kayla was quick with responses. We loved that she had an air mattress. Nice and comfortable place!
5293137,35730235,2015-06-21,35654196,Jessica,Great location for a fun Austin experience. Close to Barton creek green belts and great bars and food. 
5293137,37196564,2015-07-05,35157797,Tim,"Very cool place, it accommodated my group of 10 just fine. Good location especially with a cvs across the street that saved us a lot. Would definitely recommend.  "
5293137,39795542,2015-07-26,36575152,Velen,"Kayla was very quick, friendly and understanding on her responses.  The place accommodated my group of 9 with two cars just fine.  The location was great.  It was a less than five minute Uber ride to 6th street and walking distance to a lot of other great places.  We walked to El Meson for brunch. It was delicious.  Would definitely recommend this cosy cottage.     "
5293137,42923894,2015-08-16,38185691,Richard,"For our trip Kayla was out of town, but everything in the house was in place and ready for us when we got there. No serious problems came up during our 2 night stay. The house was as described. It was obviously an older house, but pretty cozy. Small, but still accomodated 10 people just fine. The price was fantastic for a bunch of college students. The best part was the location. It's right by a plethora of restaurants and not at all far from downtown or Zilker Park. The only thing to watch out for is the driveway, or lacktherof. You have to go over the sidewalk to park on the property, and for smaller, lower cars you WILL scrape. No serious damage on our Prius and Accord though."
7327861,38571427,2015-07-16,408674,Marina,Amazing place! Truly!! Lots of snacks and a great view off of balcony! Thanks Marissa

7327861,42005788,2015-08-10,9523909,Alejandro,"Marissa's place was perfect! Exactly as described and shown in the listing. Great place, great location, and super comfortable. My family (including my 8 month old daughter) felt relaxed and right at home with all of the amenities we're used to. The covered parking was definitely a plus since it was a constant 100+ degrees in Austin during our stay. Communication with Marissa was quick and easy as well. Would definitely stay again!"
7327861,50467026,2015-10-12,36629234,Jacob,"Place was tidy, comfortable, and well-priced

Hostess was pleasure to communicate with and extremely responsive in communications

Thank you, Marisa!"

322092,1002003,2012-03-15,1647149,Eyal,We stayed 7 people at the place and it was very spacious. There were linnen and towels for all of us. Frequent access to downtown via bus. Stephen was very nice and responsive to all our needs. The house is quite stylish too. Great value. Thanks Stephen!
322092,1016794,2012-03-19,376014,Joel,"I was very pleased with this rental. Clean, modern, and quiet complex. A 5 minute drive to South Congress and West 6th which was where I spent most of my time. I would highly recommend to a friend. "
322092,1689677,2012-07-12,2226118,Hunter,"Steven was a fantastic host! His home was exactly as described, and we had almost no trouble fitting 8 people inside. We kept very prompt communication throughout the entire stay, like when I had a question about his home, or when I needed to inform him of a leak in his roof. He was always very easy to get ahold of, and always responded very quickly. His home was absolutely stunning, with the remodeling he had been working on truly showing in the near-finished product. It was also in a great location; getting to downtown by car took no more than 5 minutes, and was right in the middle of everything to do in Austin. I cannot stress how awesome our stay here was. If you're looking for a medium sized place to stay for your next trip to Austin, look no further, as this is the place for you!"
322092,2559626,2012-10-09,3281275,Dawn,"My husband and I and our three daughters enjoyed our stay! The condo was comfortable & clean and we loved the location. We were in town for a wedding but stayed extra days so we got to enjoy the pool and nearby parks. We took the bus from the airport and also downtown to go to Children's museum among other places, it was easy and the bus stop was close by. We were able to  walk to  grocery store to pick up a few items. We would definitely stay here again."
322092,3786819,2013-03-15,339485,Stefanie,"We had a great time in Austin during SXSW interactive, Stevens place is awesome, clean, spacious,welcoming, and very comfortable. Bus stop is close, easy to get downtown and around. Nice place, great host. :) Five stars, and we recommend it!"
322092,8695856,2013-11-12,3933143,Anne,"This place is spacious and unique, with a lot of different design elements and the longest couch I've ever seen! It is a 10-minute drive to just about anything downtown, and it's very easy to get to the highways if you want to go North or South. The gas range and other kitchen appliances are great, and parking was easy and secure. Though we didn't get a chance to try them, there are a few food trucks right next door and restaurants just down the street, so it would be easy to grab a bite."
322092,9558970,2014-01-02,10453889,Jenay,"We had a BLAST in Austin for NYE 13! Myself, my husband and 3 other friends stayed in Steven's townhouse very comfortably! His location was perfect for our plans. We walked to almost everything we did! Emo's & Antone's (music venues) are basically across the street from this townhouse. There is a coffee/craft beer shop within walking distance as well. 6th street is a short cab ride. The townhouse complex is small & inviting. All of the neighbors were friendly and understanding. We had absolutely NO issues while we were in Steven's home. He was a gracious host. Couldn't have asked for anything more. & the couch... it really is as awesome as everyone has said! Thanks for everything Steven. I hope we meet again. "
322092,10729624,2014-03-04,5008059,Matt,"Great weekend stay for two couples. Steven was in constant contact with us. The price was right, location exceptional. Restaurants nearby along with an adult beverage store. We would stay there again to be sure."
322092,10975293,2014-03-16,4638600,Denis,"Steven has been a great host. Despite our lateish arrival, Steven was there to welcome us at short notice. Very helpful, pleasant host, very much recommended. Cool apartment, within walking distance to Rainey Street. Longest sofa we've ever seen, great wifi, basically all you need. Shops in the neighbourhood. Easy, effortless, all you want from a booking."
322092,11152991,2014-03-23,12189681,Anartis,"Our stay at Steven's condo was wonderful.  It's close to the bars downtown and only a few minutes away from South Congress. The space was clean with plenty of room in closets for our things. Down pillows and comforters, great water pressure, and a kind and informative host with great food and bar recommendations. The river nearby has a fantastic running/walking path. The condo complex was artful and secure. We had a great time! "
322092,11430483,2014-04-02,12145566,Shannon,"Amazing stay in Austin at this property. Steven was very accommodating with an early check in for us. The place was clean, modern, and roomy enough for my family and my sister's family. The beds were comfortable and the couch was great! The neighbors were very friendly with conversations at the pool and at the little smoking area out back. Our kids loved the pool and the fish tank the most. Location was perfect with food trucks right next door, a walking path across the street by the lake, a Walgreens at the corner, and minutes from both downtown and the airport. Having young kids, we went to Zilker Park, only a few minutes away where we rode the miniature train, swam in Barton Springs, and played on the many playgrounds. Steven was a great host, treating us to locally made organic ice cream, and coffee. He made us feel like family, we felt like we knew him forever. We will definitely stay at this property for our next visit! We miss him already! "
322092,11747607,2014-04-14,12652973,Gabrielle,"Steven's condo was ideally located, seemed like it was 2 miles from pretty much everywhere! It was also clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed, and had just about everything you might need over the course of a few days.  Easy private parking and easy access to trails along ""town lake.""  I'd highly recommend it."
322092,13403838,2014-05-27,1550971,John,"Our stay at Steven's condo was AWESOME! It's close to the everything downtown and pretty much 7 min away from everything else. The space was clean, beautiful, spacious and oh so comfortable. The river is a 1 minute walk away, but the amazing pool is only a few steps away. SO REFRESHING. The fish tank was absolutely mesmerizing as well as playing nintendo. Great communicators and available to make the stay even better than it was. We had a great time! DAT COUCH! ^_^"
322092,14507856,2014-06-21,11375439,Barbi,Great location. Great townhouse. Our family of 4 and dog had a fantastic stay!!

It was so easy to get everywhere we wanted to go, and very comfortable when we wanted to chill out. We had everything we could want, and would love to stay there again."
322092,16102284,2014-07-22,8695532,Carlos,"Desde que llegamos nos recibieron muy cordialmente apesara de que por algunos inconvenientes llegamos tarde, ver la propiedad en vivo sobre pasa lo esperado, una casa amplia, muy limpia, con muy buen mantenimiento.
Se encargaron de poner todo a nuestra disposición de tal forma que nos sentimos muy bien recibidos, tienen un montón de detalles que te hacen sentir como en casa.
Algunas cosas de la casa son para recordar siempre, sin duda el sillón, la pecera, la alberca y para mi lo mas importante el estar a pasos de el sendero para caminar y andar en bici, es un privilegio vivir ahí. "
322092,19190458,2014-09-08,16066080,Sara,"The location for this condo is perfect- 10 min cab ride from anywhere you'd want to go. We loved the pool! A definite bonus in the hot Austin heat. We'd take a dip at the end of each day to cool off. 

I'd definitely stay here again! "
322092,20896545,2014-10-07,18117617,Justin,Awesome place! The unit is perfectly located to be close enough to everything happening to be either a short Uber (to basically anywhere) or walk (Zilker area) but just far enough to be outside of the chaos (relaxing place to crash).  Steven was a wonderful host and very accommodating.  We will be staying here again!
322092,21538987,2014-10-19,20221149,Sarah,"Great location in Austin, great pool, and Steven was a great host. He made himself available for all of our questions during our stay. I'd stay here again!"
322092,22014303,2014-10-28,2110464,Liz,"Great condo.  Very convenient to Emo's (our destination for the weekend).  Two comfortable bedrooms and a very comfortable couch.  We got to enjoy the pool as well.  Blue Ox BBQ/Buzz Mill coffee shop & bar are right down the street for your fix of whatever you need.  And Taco More is also in walking distance, we ate there every day.  It has funny sliding wood doors instead of real doors, but that didn't bother us at all.  Plenty of towels and sheets, and a really cool floor.  We were able to meet up with with Victor easily upon arrival."
322092,22642135,2014-11-11,8242378,Alyce,A group (10) of us stayed at the condo for FFFFest at Auditorium Shores. It was a wonderful stay. We all brought bicycles and were able to ride from the condo along the river to the fest each day. Absolutely beautiful bike trail and access to it was right across the street from the condo. We had plenty of room for all of us to sleep and they provided air mattresses for those who did not have a bed. Very nice kitchen. We all cooked breakfast together on Sunday morning and we had all the utensils and kitchenware needed to do so. I would highly recommend staying at this condo!
322092,23387345,2014-11-30,3334276,Patricia And Scott,"Steven's place was in good shape, and it worked out very well for us."
322092,24478693,2014-12-29,4452828,Megan,"We felt right at home at Steven's, for our short getaway to Austin! He had everything we needed, and the place was adorable. Very simple and tidy. 
Loved the location, because it was quiet, but super easy access to the city. 
It rained most of the time we were there, but had it been sunny, we would have loved to take the bikes out for a ride... that Steven so kindly provided. "
322092,25612000,2015-01-20,4154432,Chandra,"Had a great time at Steven's place. We were met at the unit when we arrived late at night by someone who showed us the space quickly then left us to settle in on our own. Everything was clean and well stocked. The apartment has a pool which is steps outside the back door, and parking steps from the front door. I will say, the walls are pretty thin so we heard a party next door pretty well one night, but overall I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. We definitely appreciated the great location, a very short walk to the lake and miles of paths, and truly a short drive anywhere else. We also rented electric bikes at Rocket Electric and highly, highly recommend doing that. "
322092,26423444,2015-02-12,8151797,Anna,"Steven was a great host.  He met me to give me the keys and welcome my husband and I.  The place is even better than the listing.  You really can not beat the location!   Will highly recommend the ""modern lakeside condo"" (any any of Steven's properties) to friends and family when they come into town.  We were SO thankful to stay here.  "
322092,26601868,2015-02-16,22678449,Jennifer,"The condo was just like described in the listing.  The place was clean, had lots of natural light and very comfortable.  It was an easy distance to South Congress and the downtown Austin area (~2 miles).  The boardwalk by the condo was a great scenic way to walk to places.

Steven was a great host, giving us lots of information on places to visit, like 6th St & Rainey St.  He was very responsive when we had questions about check-in/check-out and general information about Austin.

If we ever visit again, we'd definitely would stay here! :)"
322092,26896520,2015-02-21,26792316,Danielle,"Steven was very accommodating- he accepted our request on short notice, and he was helpful and communicative.  The house had kitchen supplies including coffee and a welcome beer (thanks!), as well as sheets, towels, Netflix...all the necessities.  We were even able to throw in a load of laundry.  The downside-- the apartment looked unfinished.  There were clearly some DIY projects that were incomplete, like most doors had been replaced with unfinished plywood sliders.   The tub needed a good cleaning, and one of the bedframes was broken.  For the cost, location and short notice, this apartment provided adequate value, although I'm not sure I would stay again."
322092,27005173,2015-02-23,26056507,Krystine,"Steven and his business partner, Victor were both absolutely wonderful!!
Steven was extremely responsive and timely during the planning process. 
Victor met us upon arrival (even early, thanks to Steven) and was awesome as well. Victor familiarized me with the property and made himself available, if needed, for the duration of the stay. 
The condo was exactly as advertised. Plenty of space for 8! 
I would definitely reccomend both Steven and Victor to prospecting Air BnB'ers and will keep them in my roladex for my next Austin trip! 
Cheers,
Krystine "
322092,27356327,2015-03-02,27825446,Karin,"La casa es exactamente como se ha descrita en el anuncio y perfectamente preparada y equipada para las 3 personas. Tiene muy buena ubicación: cerca del centro, pero en un sitio tranquilo a lado del lago, ideal para hacer footing o para andar con las bicis que hay en el apartamento. Fácil coordinación de la entrega de las llaves con el dueño del apartamento. Steven lo tiene todo muy bien organizado. Como tenemos que volver a Austin para temas de trabajo repetiremos seguro! "
322092,27784365,2015-03-11,7865016,Nicole,"Staying at Stevens amazing Condo was one of my best Airbnb experiences so far.
AMAZING floor, and lovely kitchen shower and bedrooms.
Steven was always at hand if I have any questions.
The condo was right in the middle of what you need with close access to grocery stores etc.
Truly enjoyed being there
"
322092,28159392,2015-03-19,8337959,Oylum,"It was a great stay. Steven was welcoming and informative. He was easily accessible and easy to communicate.

It's quite a walk from downtown but a beautiful one. "
322092,29312978,2015-04-06,6764637,Abraham,"Steven made everything very simple and easy by messages and phone, i was not able to meet him directly, but we met his friend Victor who was also very welcoming and showed us around me and my family, and had a great long talk with him about many subjects.
I loved the whole place and all the details as an architect, the colored concrete, the great furniture, the pool, and the great trees by the river surrounding its entrance and neighborhood made it very enjoyable, and was a great side of Austin to discover, we would love to come back!
"
322092,29973643,2015-04-15,11655010,Elisabeth,"Steven is the Host for ""Modern Lakeside Condo w/bikes"" in Austin, TX, and he met us when we arrived to welcome us to his home. He provided 2 sets of keys and did a walk-through with use at arrival. The entire home was clean and decorated nicely. There were 2 lovely bedrooms, laundry, and a full bath upstairs, and a huge living/ kitchen/ dining area and powder room on the main level. Everything we needed was there in the kitchen area, with a toaster oven, dishwasher, stove, etc... and a coffee press! There were also 3 adult sized bikes available for us to use, if needed. The facility is a gated community with a pool and off-street parking. There were many advantages to this location, including being close to the bike trail around the lake, but other activities were only a few blocks away. Steven had recommendations for a great taco place for a quick, delicious dinner after we got settled, and we were easily able to get around town for our planned activities over the next couple days. "
322092,30290643,2015-04-20,13136456,Cathy,Great place!  Location was unbeatable and Steven was absolutely fantastic to work with!  Perfect weekend!
322092,30791317,2015-04-27,21341230,Jazmin,"We booked this for a girls weekend and had a blast!!! It's close to everything, very convenient and our hosts were great! 

The only bad thing I can say is downstairs smelled of fish all weekend as apparently they had cooked there prior to is arriving and the smell lingered all weekend. 

Also the AC went out in the bedroom while there, however they were quick to respond and although they weren't able to fix it they provided us with an additional fan which helped cool the place down. "
322092,33076614,2015-05-25,25868737,Lauren,"Steven's Modern Lakeside Condo is beautiful, clean, and well-appointed. Steven made booking and check-in easy and welcoming. My stay was wonderful, with all of the comforts of home, but so much better! The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen has great appliances and plenty of counter space, and the living room has the best couch for reading books. The neighborhood is very fun, and I was able to enjoy the nearby trails at the lake and nearby Buzzmill, which is a gem of a place. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better stay! "
322092,34531413,2015-06-09,29194660,Andre,"Excellent. The apartment housed 4 of us comfortably and the location was excellent. We did have a car so getting around was easy and there was parking directly out the front door. Our hosts were amazing, they answered all our questions promptly, met us in person and made us feel really welcome. Beds were comfy, showers hot, air conditioning in each room and Netflix! All in all an excellent stay and would definitely return."
322092,37480752,2015-07-07,34550555,Ashton,"Steven and Victor were both accommodating.  They allowed our party to check in early, which was a big help.  The amenities were as listed, with plenty of extra pillows, blankets, and towels.  The hot water really is unlimited, which was great with six people showering so close together.  The pool was a great addition as well.  
Be advised that there is no microwave and we were unable to find a hair dryer either.
My only real negative is that the listing says it comes with 3 queen beds.  However, the queen ""mattress"" under one of the beds can hardly be called a mattress.  It was more of a pillow topper, as it was rather flimsy.  It also had a stain of some kind on the bottom-side of it.  As such, my fellow airbnb'ers found the provided air mattress more comfortable. 
Overall, I would book this place again if I had a party of 4 or less.  More than four people is really pushing it with the sleeping arrangements."
322092,39042330,2015-07-20,20067725,Whitney,"I stayed here with 6 girlfriends and we all loved it! The apartment is beautiful and we had everything we needed. We were a short (and cheap) uber ride from everywhere we wanted to go in Downtown Austin. Victor was a great host too, so kind and accommodating! The pool was a great spot to relax in the sun, and all the neighbors we met were very nice. It felt like a safe neighborhood and our two cars were parked inside the gates area. Victor and Stephen are upfront about noise traveling between units and from the outside, and we noticed it but weren't ever bothered by it. There are 2 beds, a very comfortable memory foam of (that's where I slept, it was great!) and an air mattress we ended up not using. We all agreed we would stay here again without a doubt!"
322092,39652455,2015-07-25,32985201,Egemen,The condo is exactly the same as the descriptions. It was clean and the location of the condo was great to enjoy trails around Lady Bird Lake. Victor welcomed us when we arrived. He was very warm and helpful. His tips about Austin was great. We liked to stay here very much. 
322092,42363546,2015-08-12,40959067,Kristin,"Steven's condo was perfect for my little family. We felt welcomed and prepared going to his place. Steven was great from the start with easy instructions for our arrival and a pleasant departure note with instructions for leaving. The linens and the place itself were clean and inviting. Pictures are very accurate as is his description. Our 3 year old also felt fully satisfied with the room arrangements, the pool outside the back door and apple TV complete with her favorite netflix series. Also we all loved the spectacular floors. Some hard corners around and stairs are ever so slightly on the narrow side but had it just been my husband and I, these factors would not have stirred second thought. Overall I would recommend his condo to anyone looking for simple yet bold and clean! "
322092,43273407,2015-08-18,39164185,Linda,"The condo was nice, clean, and located very close to downtown. The pool was also great to have. However, the check in process did not go smoothly. The host was out of town and the person managing the property did not leave the door unlocked as stated. We waited for over an hour to get in. "
322092,48793288,2015-09-28,43660981,Matt,"Was a terrific place, my first airbnb stay and it was a great location.  Very easy communication and lovely condo.  The location was terrific for trail access and a $5 uber downtown.  I would definitely recommend this place."
322092,49839797,2015-10-06,41512383,Cole,"Location and layout of this house were great.  Easy access to all major needs for ACL festival as well as after hours venues downtown.  
Not meant for an at home person or persons looking to stay in for dinner as the kitchen was nice, but a little under the standards of cleanliness I have.  
We were told a coffee maker would be provided, as previous tenant broke their French press, and they never did, and we bought our own and left for future AirBnB'rs.

Nice place, fun location, low expectations and you will be pleased.  Bring paper towels, bring coffee, be ready to clean a little.

Overall very nice! "
322092,51447814,2015-10-20,41869854,Matt,"Enjoyed our stay, Victor was a great host, the house is well equipped, and the location is perfect. It's close to South Congress & 6th Street, will definitely stay there again when i get back to Austin."
322092,52209475,2015-10-27,27959295,Nir,"My experience at this property was really good. As soon as we arrived, Victor made us feel like we are his personal guests. Also Steve was easy to get in touch with and he had open communication. THe one thing I was really impressed with is that we originally booked this place a long time ago and Victor/Steven didn't know it was F1 Formula Weekend. They gave us a really great deal and they could have been shady and tried to cancel our reservation and get more money but they didn't. That just shows the type of good people they are. 
The location is excellent, the BUzz MIll is a block away which has coffee and Infused Alcoholic drinks. It's pretty amazing to say the least. IT's also a $5 to $6 Uber/Lyft ride to downtown which is very convenience. You can't go wrong staying here."
5557129,28283681,2015-03-21,7376020,Mike,"Air mattress. Morgan was a wonderful host. Air mattress. Everything was provided, and the room was comfortable. Air mattress."
5557129,29954727,2015-04-14,28937083,Christine,"My stay was Wonderful!
Morgan was very helpful with directions and times."
5557129,30371199,2015-04-20,13784529,Afonso,Impeccable place with a generous host. Thanks!
5557129,32915875,2015-05-23,29955417,Juweek,Very welcoming experience; great home. Better than expected. Room was well-made and clean.
5557129,44718606,2015-08-28,15642422,Patrick,I had a nice time at Morgan's home. The place was exactly as described and the bed was cosy and comfortable with its own private bathroom.  Overall a very nice experience.
5557129,47837718,2015-09-21,12784501,Christoffer,"Cousy room and very comfortable, Morgan was also a great host checking up that everything was fine."
5557129,48951683,2015-09-29,43715387,Dave,"Morgan was a great host. She was very pleasant, and made sure that I felt welcome. She was helpful, and her place was beautiful. I would absolutely stay at her place again. "
5557129,49527916,2015-10-04,36558150,Simeon,"Morgan was a great host, very generous with her living quarters and im normally more of a dog person, her cat Huckleberry was the sweetest sociable cat that i have ever met. Wonderful stay with good people :-)"
5557129,50559659,2015-10-12,45405640,Stephanie,"Morgan was lovely and was very generous with her house. We were able to use her kitchen and lounge area as well as our own bedroom and bathroom. Huckleberry, the cat, is also the friendliest cat we've ever met. It was Quite far from the centre of Austin on the bus however it runs all the time just outside her apartment and really cheap. Would definitely stay again "
5557129,51453036,2015-10-20,6427730,Karen  Allyson, Morgan made me feel very welcome with good communication and  just checking in periodically to see how my stay was going. The location was very convenient for my visit to Austin as I was not there to be close to downtown. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment well appointed. Big plus having a private bathroom.
5396207,28092431,2015-03-17,11405812,Nick,Jodie and Davis were great hosts. They helped me get set up for my few days at SXSW and were friendly and kind to boot. Good people! 
4235416,21319460,2014-10-14,22102017,Tim,"Jeanne was a great host, her place was a great place to stay in the middle of Austin.  A short cab ride to all the great sites around town. In a quite secluded neighborhood with lots of privacy. "
4235416,21641099,2014-10-20,2071891,Jeremy,Brilliant stay. Cozy and perfect location. Great place for the price. 
4235416,22055029,2014-10-28,11341204,Chris,This cozy studio was perfect for a weekend in Austin with my wife. Jeanne Claire was a great host with great taste and a cool pad. We would definitely stay again.
4235416,22620063,2014-11-10,19980725,Beatriz,Enjoyed my stay at Jeanne's. Walls were a little thin and we could hear the guests in the front portion of the house from time to time but was not bothersome. The location was a great alternative to the hustle and bustle of South Congress during FFF Fest. 
4235416,26704189,2015-02-17,27019056,Liz,"Jeanne Claire was great! Arrival was super easy, she had some information available about the area, and she even warned me about the marathon shutting down some of the area streets. The place was great, too. Just right for one person. All in all, it was a great stay."
4235416,27037144,2015-02-23,27966335,Judson,Jeanne Claire was very responsive throughout the entire process and made us feel welcome when we arrived. The apartment was very clean and had a very cool modern/artsy feel to it. The street the apartment is on was very quiet and did not have much traffic at all.  The futon was also more comfortable than I expected. Would book here again.
4235416,27738707,2015-03-10,1993692,Vishwast,"My girlfriend and I stayed in Jeanne Claire's apartment and had a great time. I was able to take the bus to UT Austin and downtown, which was convenient (even for a subway rider). I do recommend having a vehicle, though, to make travelling to other neighborhoods much easier. There are also some great restaurants/bars in walking distance. Jeanne Claire left a binder recommending restaurants and entertainment in the neighborhood. 
The apartment was comfortable, including the futon. Though we didn't use the kitchen, it looked very inviting."
4235416,27853841,2015-03-13,24474505,Grae,"The apartment is JUST as pictured and Jeanne is very communicative and helpful. I had a rental car, which I think is most helpful in the area unless you're a long distance walker. I cooked most of the time I was here and the amenities in the kitchen are fantastic. The shower is nice, and there is some Dr. Bronner's soap in there, which made me happy. That's not even the end of the nice touches in this place--I was greeted with granola bars on the counter and suitcase racks too. The only things missing were an iron and a TV (which isn't listed as an amenity anyway--my mistake!).

I found the futon to be slightly less comfortable then I needed and would have lost sleep had there been someone with me taking away my ability to sleep diagonally with ALL the pillows provided. By far the biggest challenge I faced were the neighbors. There is a shared wall between this apartment and the main house, and it seems to be lacking insulation because I heard EVERY word they said while they were home (they were super irritated by someone named Jorge and talked at great length about it). This wouldn't have been a huge problem if they had stopped talking at a decent hour, but once 12:30 in the morning rolled around, they went into high gear. The first night was a screaming match and the second night I heard scraping noises that seemed like furniture moving ON TOP of much discussion about the process.  The third night was beautiful silence, which led me to believe they were not home or had taken a sleeping pill or something. Since other reviews don't mention this phenomenon, I might just be the unlucky one that stayed during the two loudest nights in these tenant's history. I would proceed with caution if you're a light sleeper.

The outdoor space is cute--but there isn't a continuously paved sidewalk to make bringing big bags in easy (they are spaced paver stones). I had to carry my behemoth, since it was rainy and the dirt/mulch was a little wet. 

I'm still rating this place ""great"" despite the noise because of all the efforts to make this place homey, and the fact that Jeanne checked in with me often (but not too much) to make sure I was doing well. "
4235416,28406154,2015-03-23,28045689,Emily,"Staying at the little studio bungalow was lovely! Jeanne Claire made it easy to access the apartment on my own time during one of the busiest weekends in Austin. It was great to stay in a place that felt like home, and wake up to make coffee and sit on the patio with the door open in a secluded back yard."
4235416,30161798,2015-04-18,27333767,Mobley,"This unit has lots of privacy. It's small -- really only big enough for one person, I think, but it was perfect for me. Clean. Safe. A garden in the back, which was a really nice place to sit at night listening to the birds and the wind in the trees. Wifi works well. You're parking under a tree, so your car should be prepared for some leaves and droppings. It's a short walk from the drive to bring your things into the house. Comfortable futon, nice floors. I would definitely stay here again. "
4235416,30820132,2015-04-27,24680542,Colin,"The apartment was very easy to get to, and the yard and driveway were very private.  We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, and we were only a short drive (or bike ride) away from UT, downtown Austin, and the South Congress area.  The kitchen was very well stocked with basics (spices, olive oil, dishes, etc), and it was a great size.  The whole apartment was very clean and stylish, and the futon was very comfortable considering the fact that it was a futon.  We were provided with visitor information (including local hotspots and locations for staples such as Walgreens), toiletries, blankets, pillows, and towels.  We very much enjoyed our stay, and we would definitely stay here again!"
4235416,31822587,2015-05-10,31614292,Alex,"Adorable spot! Teensy tiny, but clean and well-decorated, giving it an open comfortable feel."
4235416,32632895,2015-05-19,32914916,Casey,"Jeanne Claire's apartment was perfect! This being my first airbnb experience she was very helpful during the whole process.  The apartment is small, but plenty of room for one or two people. There was no dresser available,  but the closet with hangers was more than enough. It'd not listed but an iron with a board was also provided. I did hear the neighbors a few times but shutting the bathroom door seemed to completely block any noise. The kitchen was fantastic, fully stocked and room for cooking.  It was very quiet, the backyard was a relaxing space to unwind at the end of the day. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip back!"
4235416,33277207,2015-05-26,31876043,Stephanie,"Jeanne was awesome. We had some rough weather while we were there that required some chainsaw action. Jeanne and her husband worked all day to get the trees removed, we got home and it seemed like nothing had ever happened. Jeanne also came to the rescue at midnight when we misplaced our keys!  The home was very clean and very private. The coffee Jeanne has for guests is amazing! We ended up buying some at the grocery store. The home is actually not THAT small we had the futon on bed mode the whole time and still had room to walk around. We are planning to stay here on our next trip!"
4235416,37063606,2015-07-04,19346584,Sarah,Jeanne Claire was a very welcoming and accomodating host. The place was small but nice. Perfect for a short trip.
4235416,38045243,2015-07-12,33082393,Max,"We had a wonderful stay at Jeanne's place. The house is cozy, organized, and clean. Jeanne showed us around the apartment and let us know where we could find everything we might need. The privacy in this apartment is wonderful and the location is perfect if you're the type that needs to run to get an iced coffee first thing in the morning!"
4235416,38235808,2015-07-13,16798621,Jaime,"I stayed at this place just for one night. It was a nice little room with everything you need for a short stay in Austin, it was very clean and stylish. It has a sofa-bed which was confortable and with clean linens and  comforter. The area was nice and quiet and you had your own parking spot.

Very close to the train station also.

I'll definitely would stay here again."
4235416,43128719,2015-08-17,27019056,Liz,I had a great trip at Jeanne Claire's place again this time! Will definitely consider staying again next time I'm in Austin.
4235416,46968604,2015-09-14,5309690,Anne,Jeanne Claire was an amazing host. She met us at the apartment and was very welcoming. She was easy to communicate with and offered several recommendations to check out. I would highly recommend Jean Claire and her cute apartment!
4235416,49012496,2015-09-30,35403441,Jessica,"Jeanne Claire was a great host! The apartment is very clean and has everything you need. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet her as she was out of town during our stay, but she made everything incredibly easy for us and was very responsive! Overall we really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend it to others! Thank you again Jeanne Claire! "
4235416,50632330,2015-10-13,9071756,Kim,"Jeanne was a very accommodating host. The unit was well kept and decorated. She provided all the essentials (towels, sheets, blankets, coffee, etc.). There are a few bars/restaurants and grocery stores nearby making it very convenient. While a tad bit further from the city than I expected I would recommend renting a car to get around. All and all a wonderful place and I would definitely stay here again when traveling to Austin. 
"
4235416,51170185,2015-10-18,40045721,Madeleine,"My husband and I loved this apartment. It was very clean and everything looks brand new inside. Jeanne Claire and her husband were helpful and welcoming, too. The apartment is located in a cute, quiet neighborhood and we were able to walk to some great restaurants. Would definitely stay there again! "
4235416,51663503,2015-10-22,46562620,Fatima,I enjoyed staying at this apartment.  The futon was comfortable and Jeanne Claire provided a folder with maps and other information about the area. I arrived late and left early but check in and check out was not a problem.  I did not meet Jeanne Claire in person due to my schedule but she quickly responded to any emails. The Internet connection was good.  The neighborhood was in short driving distance to a nice coffee shop and some restaurants.

6634808,37363921,2015-07-06,2119963,Alanna,Michael and Holly were great hosts! The house was rad and accurate to the listing. Beautiful backyard and a cute little dog. Would definitely stay here again!
6634808,40841841,2015-08-02,38365502,Soohyun,"Michael and his wife made us feel  really comfortable, even we met in the next morning :-) The room was very cozy and clean, also I could feel their kindness for the towels on the bed. Especially the conversation we had in the morning about movie and other things was also so nice and unforgettable. Last but not least, the restaurant you recommended, Dai due was really nice! Thanks All! "
6634808,42207971,2015-08-11,7765746,Albert,Michael and Holly were great hosts. They were friendly and provided everything as described on their AirBnb page.
6634808,48824697,2015-09-28,44658826,Jeremy,Mike and Holly were very welcoming during our one night stay in Austin. The place is exactly as described and is very clean. Location is excellent for getting around town and the neighbor is quiet. We were out most of the day so did not see them much. Having the private bathroom inside of the bedroom is a big plus. They were very flexible about key exchange during check in/check out. I would definitely stay with them again in the future.
6634808,49696625,2015-10-05,39093271,Luis,I had a great stay with you guys! ACL weekend one was going on and you guys helped make the past few days( which have been insane with crowds of people from everywhere)  a breeze! I can't think of a better way to Airbnb in Austin than with you guys! Great info on places to check out as well! Had fun staying and talking to you guys! Thank you! 
983530,3828497,2013-03-18,5433395,Leah,"Brooke is friendly, responsive and really helped us out in a jam.  Her properties are well located and just as described in her listings.  I would highly recommend doing business with her and am looking forward to sending all my pals visiting Austin (when my house is too full) to Brooke.  She's top notch and a pleasure to deal with!"
983530,3898648,2013-03-25,5489779,Jon,"Great distance from the downtown district, cozy accommodations from very pleasant hosts."
983530,3987966,2013-04-01,5549948,Sarah,"Brooke was prompt and very pleasant to work with! The Garden Hideaway was wonderful...very nice hosts, comfortable accommodations, beautiful gardens, and great location to downtown. Would recommend to everyone and can't wait to visit again!!"
983530,4270994,2013-04-23,5581779,Bill,"What a fantastic experience! We came to Austin for the MotoGP and this had easy access to the track and also to downtown. Location, location, location! The garden was wonderful and the kids had a great time exploring and playing. The accommodations were more than we could have hoped for. The bathroom was amazing! We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again next time we come to Austin. This really is a great value and a hidden gem. "
983530,4360813,2013-04-30,4496764,Laura,"I could not ask for anything better.  Thank you for making our 5 day stay so much more relaxing and enjoyable than any hotel could have been.  I also like that this place actually sleeps 3 to 4 people comfortably, not on some futon like you see in other ads. Everything was clean and modern.  Between the carport parking and the gate/ closed yard, we could not feel any safer.  It is incredibly easy to get downtown once you realize the shortcut by heading north out of the driveway.  We were able to meet the people who live upstairs and they were very nice and friendly.  So are there pets :)"
983530,4480558,2013-05-07,32413,Elben,Lovely basement house with a lovely garden in a quiet part of town.
983530,4587732,2013-05-13,6263539,Olivia,"In a word: WOW! What a gorgeous setting. Our only regret was that we couldn't just move in and stay. The location was great, interior spacious and beautifully appointed, and those gardens straight out of Eden. Brooke was fantastic to work with. Excellent communication, just the right mix of being both professional and personable. We can't wait for our next trip to Austin and won't even debate about where to stay or who to call. Perfect in every way."
983530,4841336,2013-05-28,1839463,George,Great place. Wonderful hosts. Very comfortable. I will definitely be booking this place again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks!
983530,5367186,2013-06-26,6243845,Tony,"Four of us stayed here for a business trip for a two week period of time and I can't say enough good things about our stay here!

The property is spectacular and it has high end amenities that you would expect at a four or five star Hotel. We loved everything about the place and it worked out perfectly for what we were looking for. The garden property was icing in the cake!

We even have a few logistical challenges that were more than accommodated for. The host went far and above any expectations  for helping out with our situation. Great folks, do not hesitate to book! Would most definitely stay again. As my first experience with staying somewhere on Airbnb I am certainly a fan!"
983530,5449560,2013-07-01,1239294,Nancy,"I found this location and rental to be smooth, attractive, well lit, well air-conditioned (hot summer), clean and with all the necessary amenities for a stay that does not include cooking large meals. Awesome surprise was the modern details and to-die- for bathroom and free standing tub. Although a basement apartment, it did not feel subterranean at all. Nice TV, supply of towels, covered place to park, and a treat to be steps away from a beautiful garden.  My only neg is that we felt the beds should be updated and the pillows replaced with a better quality product, that is for sure. The location is great if you are visiting,have a car, and feel good about being 6-10 minutes away from most Austin attractions. For us, it was great. Also,there is easy highway access for getting out of town. Quiet, sweet neighborhood."
983530,6220050,2013-08-04,1714101,Sara,"I hosted a workshop for ten of my interns, four of which stayed in The Garden Hide Away. The students absolutely loved the ""secret garden-esque"" backyard and the spacious interior. The only comment I have is that there appears to be a couple of cats on the premises that run into the space when the door is opened. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for what Austin is all about. "
983530,11131808,2014-03-22,6243845,Tony,"This was my second trip to Austin and I've stayed here both times. The property is fantastic with any amenities you could need. In fact, the property was even upgraded with a washer and dryer along with a double electric burner if you wanted to cook some food. We had three of us staying for a business trip and it was quite ideal. The property is in an ideal location close enough to anything in Austin you need to get to. After two stays I can easily recommend this location if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Austin."
983530,11535568,2014-04-07,6838668,Krista,This charming place was perfect for a weekend reunion with friends.  It is located in the South Lamar area- near fun restaurants and artsy boutiques.  We ate at a lovely French restaurant called Justine's and a place that served interesting small plate dishes called Odd Duck.  Both were wonderful.  The space was relaxing and the neighborhood was quiet.  
983530,12669062,2014-05-07,1514285,Nakia,"An absolutely beautiful stay in Austin. The property is so homely and in a great location. We had a lovely stay the owners were so nice, we would happily recommend to anyone looking for a relaxed space. The bathroom with a spa bath and stunning gardens my favourite part. thank you for having us, hope we can make it out again. "
983530,12909214,2014-05-13,9430147,Robert,What a fantastic place.  The garden was amazing and the apartment itself was perfect for what we needed.  Very cool in the hot weather too!
983530,17848732,2014-08-18,7592959,Heather,Listing was just as described. It was a lovely stay and the backyard was an absolute delight to have our morning coffee in. 
983530,21592181,2014-10-20,11177435,Paul,"Amazing place, a little oasis hidden away in Austin. Brooke was easy to work with as well. I would fully recommend this place. "
983530,22651563,2014-11-11,1667766,Leah,Brooke helped by adding a pack n play for our little girl as well as a highchair. She was always available to us and answered questions promptly.
983530,25860048,2015-01-27,4988488,"Dan, Amanda & Charlie",We really enjoyed our time here! It's an excellent deal. The gardens are lovely. The bathtub a real treat. It's a great location. It was quiet and safe. We had a toddler and it was super helpful to have a pack and play and high chair provided. Thanks for a great stay!
983530,27670025,2015-03-09,1555926,Leah,"The apartment was fantastic and well equipped. Brooke was great, she was available, responsive, and helpful. The tub and bathroom in general is amazing!Be aware if you hhave allergies like I do that they do allow pets. I was a little sniffly, but not enough to make me regret booking at all. Loved this place, would stay with Brooke again anytime."
983530,27844682,2015-03-13,8838632,Lane,What a great experience! Everything about this spot was perfect. We were traveling with a 3 year old and a 3 month old and this location worked well. The garden was an amazing area for my oldest to stroll around in the morning while adults were getting ready for the day. It was beautiful! The property was very clean and the tub was very relaxing to come back to after being gone all day! (The kids loved it to) I would recommend this property to anyone!!
983530,28165942,2015-03-19,5971150,Wyatt,The apartment was really perfect for our stay and Brooke couldn't have been nicer on the phone when communicating about the property. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a place in Austin!!
983530,29914837,2015-04-14,22005085,Mary,"The house was perfect for the 5 of us with plenty of room to spare!  It's conveniently located (within a 5 to 10 minute drive of everything we wanted to do), was very clean and towels were provided too.  I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin!  "
983530,30677375,2015-04-26,6776030,Gretchen,"Can't find one bad thing to say about this lovely stay. Super location - close to action, yet serene and quiet. Delightful owners. Sweet rent-a-pets who were never a bother. Killer setting. Large unit... plenty for more than two. Price-to-value ratio. Hated to leave."
983530,31000124,2015-04-30,21843033,Pierre,"we had a great stay, the place was very quiet and charming neighborhood."

"
983530,32388790,2015-05-17,32235200,Jordan,"Had an amazing time here this past week as a few of us were in town to celebrate a good friends wedding! As it was my first time, I can honestly say the place and location couldn't have been better! The apartment is conveniently close to Lamar Blvd (home of the famous Broken Spoke) as well as highways 71 and 35, making it a mere ten minutes into Downtown Austin or Austin Bergstron Airport. Beds were insanely comfortable, bathroom was phenomenal, and it was immaculately clean. It's quite apparent that the homeowners and Brooke's company work hard to keep this place in great shape. The only downside of the week was the rain, as it made it largely impossible to enjoy the beautiful garden space attached to the home. Thanks again Brooke! Had a great time!"
983530,32709404,2015-05-20,28694627,Andrea,My friends and I enjoyed our stay here in Austin! We had ample space and we loved the cat who greeted us upon arrival. I'm sure we would have utilized the lovely patio and backyard space if it hadn't rained all week! Overall we really loved our time here. 
983530,35133141,2015-06-15,14076770,Carly,My family and I love stayed here! There were 5 of us and we each had our own bed and 1 had a futon which was very comfortable. The bathroom was the best part. It has an amazing bathtub and huge walk in shower. Everything was clean and spacious and the owners were very nice! 
983530,36077618,2015-06-24,30054218,David,The host canceled this reservation 96 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
983530,40941119,2015-08-03,1577574,Alicia,"We got into town earlier than expected.  Our host allowed us to check in early which I GREATLY appreciated. Had some trouble with codelock door but our host was quick to answer the phone and walk me though it. The rental was clean and spacious. We only had 2 people but it could easily accommodate at least 6. The garden and patio were serene and lush. Even with the Austin heat, we enjoyed sitting in the shade. 

The only two negative comments I would have that sensitive guests might need to know:

There is a tenant that lives upstairs. My roommate chose the bedroom next to the bath and was woken up throughout the night by running water going through the pipes. It was very loud and kept her from sleeping at times. When the tenants would walk back and forth in their unit, it was extremely loud in our unit. This isn't a problem during the day but between 6-10p, the tenants upstairs were extremely active. Parking is very tight. Might be a problem if you have multiple guests with cars.  Also, my suggestion would be to get more fans throughout the space. Due to the heat and lack of fans, it never seemed to cool off. 

Beds were comfortable and decor was homey. Would definitely rent here again!"
983530,46277251,2015-09-09,10645620,Christine,Had a wonderful time at the garden hide away - it's pretty much spot on to what the pictures suggest. Had a very club-housey feel; it was great for the 6 of us. Check-in and check-out were simple. Thanks! 
983530,47633320,2015-09-21,28804992,Bethany,This space was sooooo wonderful!  Everything went smoothly and helped complete my wedding weekend with several friends in town.  Thank you Brooke!
983530,48703044,2015-09-28,39463407,Bryan,"This basement Garden Hide Away place was a lot of fun. Very nice people and very accommodating. The place was very clean and easy to access and always felt safe. All of the amenities were there, the place kept cool and the wifi was always full powered. The deck and backyard was gorgeous as well. The house is in a cool neighborhood and literally a minute drive from South Lamar street, so it's perfectly located. When I'm in Austin, I'd definitely stay here again."
983530,51284623,2015-10-19,12027261,Bridget,Great place to stay with a BEAUTIFUL yard perfect for hanging out. It was a great location.. we were able to get to all areas of Austin in 10 minutes or less! Pictures are accurate -- and the bathroom is huge! 
668208,3813625,2013-03-18,979167,Jim,"Marjorie's house was a dream. I went during a gruelingly long trip for SXSW, which I'm not sure I could have survived if it wasn't for her luxuriant hot tub out back. The space was very comfortable, the area green and bike-able and Marjorie made sure we had everything  we needed (even a personal chauffeur in the neighbor upstairs!)."
668208,5204563,2013-06-18,5177094,Mel,"I stayed here with a group of friends and had a terrific time.  Marjorie, is an exceptionally friendly and a thoughtful host who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and fun!  I can't say enough about the attention to detail that made for an memorable time in Austin.

A bonus is the location, which is only minutes drive from downtown, lake Austin, parks, and golf, and... a little market is a short walk from the house (this was a huge convenience - think oops, we're out of ice, coffee, milk, etc.)  

Cheers!"
668208,6818733,2013-08-26,7207048,Meredith,Great weekend at this house! It came with everything we needed and owner was easy to work with and answered alllll my questions in a timely fashion. First airbnb rental for me and was a total success!
668208,7323197,2013-09-16,1599186,Lucy,"We had a large group (11!), and Marjorie's house was perfect for us (8 of us were in the four beds, 3 on air mattresses).  The pool is wonderful, the open layout is perfect for large groups, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed (we did some BBQing while we were in there).  Great weekend, hopefully we'll be back sometime!"
668208,8077479,2013-10-15,6313373,Chris,"Marjorie was so great to work with.  Very calm and flexible even during some extreme circumstances.  Great communication.

The pool was wonderfully refreshing and the tub great to sit in.  There was another renter who lives just above the space who was great to have on site for any questions."
668208,12277033,2014-04-28,12548088,AnneRenee,Marjorie was wonderful to work with! Her house was the perfect get away for our girls weekend. We loved laying by the pool and taking advantage of the plentiful outdoor space. Every request we had was met with ease and a great attitude. The tree house is a wonderful vacation spot for any group!
668208,20892094,2014-10-07,14908917,Jennifer,"Perfect home for our stay at ACL.  The home was clean, very orderly, and the outdoor space we utilized to the point of any future home in any city will have these expectations. Marjorie went above and beyond for our late arrival even went grocery shopping so we had snacks and breakfast. Was within walking distance to the park and even a nice little store for our walk home for any food or drinks. We had a great time and this home made us feel like we were truly on vacation!"
668208,21331437,2014-10-15,6920113,Sam,"Loved the accommodation, it was everything that we expected plus more. Would highly recommend it. Outstanding location. "

What an amazing house. The house is better than in the pictures and has everything you need for a family get away. The pool and spa are clean and a great size and you are only a short drive from the centre of Austin. Thanks!!
Will and team"

Thanks again Marjorie and I would recommend this place to anyone!
668208,45186695,2015-08-31,39290561,Maria,Beautiful spacious home! This was a perfect home for our weekend getaway  for 12 girls.  Great location near everything! Marjorie was very laid back and made herself available for anything we might need.
668208,46172952,2015-09-08,30975792,Jeff,We have rented many homes in the zilker area over the years. 2 just this summer and this was the best equipped home   The host was the nicest and was very attentive to insure a great visit by my family   If you want 5 star accommodations and the ability to have total privacy on a great property that has all the amenities and is well furnished from kitchen to pool floats to xtra pillows then Margorie and her excellent located home should be your 1 st choice   
668208,46944580,2015-09-14,42294223,Brad,"What a great host and house......
Everything was as described, Marjorie was available and communicated with me every step of the way.  The house offered tons of ""nice"" amenities such as a basket of pool towels, coffee, creamer and milk for our use, & Marjorie heated up the hot tub before we arrived.  The house was extremely comfortable and convenient for getting around Austin.  Pool had a ton of floats, BBQ grill was clean & had a full propane tank ( with a backup ) and there were even plastic folding tables in the garage!  We will definitely be booking this house on a annual basis !"
668208,49589620,2015-10-05,15694757,Amy,"Marjorie was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very at home in her open-concept home! She was flexible about our arrival and departure times, even letting us return after ACL our final day after checkout to change clothes and freshen up. She made sure the jacuzzi was fired up before we arrived, had fresh towels set out, and plates/cups/napkins on the counter for our use. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have all had."
668208,50615301,2015-10-13,33831234,Brian,"The house was excellent, Marjorie had everything setup great for us and we had a wonderful time in Austin.  We will definitely look to stay here again any time we are back in town!"
1003316,21153231,2014-10-12,21504718,Jacob,Our experience in Austin at Negars went exactly as advertised. This house was a 5 minute walk from zilker park and close to many great local restaurants and bars. Inside the house it was very clean and comfortable but the real highlight was the patio. The patio was spacious and fun. It was very relaxing and all the guests in the house mentioned it as a highlight. Negar was very accommodating as a host...she even left some coffee and wine for us to enjoy :) I would definitely recommend this house for anyone that is looking for a nice quiet place in Austin to enjoy.
1003316,28244672,2015-03-21,20838786,Martin,The perfect house for a week of SXSW(or just a few days of Austin)!! Its a very relax neighborhood and no traffic. We spend our mornings and nights relaxing outside in the large patio. If you like cooking the kitchen provides you superb pots an pans and a large double oven! The house had more then enough space for the 4 of us.

1664692,8677046,2013-11-11,254368,Samir,"We loved the location, apartment, and the hospitality. The apartment was luxurious, modern, and comfortable. We couldn't get over the cool architecture of the ceilings and interior design. It was a really nice treat to stay in such a unique place. 

The pebbled- floor in the shower is awesome. We enjoyed the proximity to Guadalupe, Mopac. The neighborhood is very tranquil.  The centralized location of the apartment made getting to and from FFF fest so easy. This definitely made our weekend that much more enjoyable. 

Michelle is a very accommodating and hospitable host. We appreciate her flexibility with us when our departure/arrival times were modified on short notice. I highly recommend staying here during your next visit to Austin. We hope to stay here again! :-)"

Even before our visit, she provided directions to the apartment, current weather conditions and  answered any other questions I had promptly and thoughtfully.   She was very helpful with providing restaurant suggestions, a pilates studio and where to get a massage after driving 3000 km.   The apartment was perfect for two people.  Very efficient, very clean with lots of natural light.  All the amenities one would like - wifi, great shower, tv, fridge, microwave and a comfortable bed. The location was ideal.  A beautiful residential area and only  a  20 minute walk to the university, 30 minutes to the LBJ Library and a 35 minute walk to the State Capital. As someone who likes to walk, it was perfect.  If I were ever to go to Austin again, I would definitely stay here."

Thanks Michelle!"
1664692,11823371,2014-04-15,13907041,Dylan,"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Michelle""s Apt. It's like  a 5 star tree house! The hosts were completely available when needed but left us to our privacy otherwise. We would love to do it again."
1664692,13388078,2014-05-26,15653024,Jared,"We had a great stay, will definitely book in the future! It's a beautiful place, in one of the nicest and most convenient parts of Austin. "

1664692,20839945,2014-10-06,20985450,Alyssa,"My fiance and I stayed at Michelle's over ACL weekend and it was amazing. The apartment space over their garage is just beautiful they did a great job decorating- very modern and comfy. Michelle was so easy to work with and flexible with our travel schedule. Although the apartment is just feet from their house it felt very private which was nice since we were coming back so late from the festival. Would highly recommend staying here, Michelle is a terrific hostess! We will be back for sure. "
1664692,21283268,2014-10-14,5050931,Natasha,"The neighborhood was very nice and convenient to the highway as well as downtown Austin.  Our host, Michelle, was very easy to work with and took very good care of us.  The apartment was very quiet and secure.  She even had a coffee maker and supplies for us.  We look forward to staying with her again if we travel to Austin in the future."
1664692,21637502,2014-10-20,2573094,Jeremy,"The listing was exactly as described, the garage apartment is great.  I would definitely stay there again.  Location is super convenient and in a very nice neighborhood.  Michelle met us at the arranged time and we got into the apartment easily and quickly.  She was also very responsive to questions we had about the area.  "
1664692,22350759,2014-11-03,23195778,Luke,"Michelle was a great! The Apt, was amazing as well. Great views of the awesome neighborhood. And I couldn't have asked for a better location!"
1664692,23384560,2014-11-30,7684094,Peggy,Michelle was very welcoming and easy to stay in touch with throughout our stay.  Any questions were answered quickly.  She even left snacks and coffee supplies knowing our late arrival would not give us time to stop for groceries.  The online photos of the apartment don't fully capture how beautiful it is. The location was perfect for access to downtown and all the fun neighborhoods in central Austin.  The neighborhood is also perfect for walking - such lovely homes and even a nearby walking trail.  We we definitely choose This apartment for our next visit to Austin.
1664692,27859336,2015-03-13,13746448,Juliet,"The Kinneys are fantastic. First, the garage apartment is gorgeous, comfortable, spacious and modern. The neighborhood has lovely stately houses with mature trees and is just a stone's throw away from downtown, the Capitol, and South Congress. They were so kind as to have milk, beverages, and coffee available. The pictures are representative of the lovely environment, but it is indeed much nicer in person. You will also appreciate the lovely sheets and rest well in this fantastic luxury garage apartment. I want to also thank the Kinneys for their kindness and hospitality.  "
1664692,28159041,2015-03-19,24478925,Jason,Wonderful apt. convenient to everything as long as you have a car.   Hosts were welcoming and arrival was well coordinated. Apt. was very clean and some basics were event provided -which was very much appreciated.  Highly recommend.
1664692,28462285,2015-03-24,370678,Lori,"The apartment was beautiful and the neighborhood was great.  However, because the host was away when we arrived, it was difficult to get in touch with her, and there were a few things we needed."
1664692,28820622,2015-03-30,1627717,Eric,Michelle was an amazing host! She welcomed us upon arrival and shared all the information we needed. The property was incredibly nice and in a beautiful neighborhood just a short Uber ride from downtown Austin. Highly recommended!
1664692,29855740,2015-04-13,11401288,John,"Well designed and beautifully furnished space located in a quiet residential neighborhood. Close proximity to mopac and UT and very easy access to most everything.  The bed was comfortable and we slept well. We enjoyed having the walk-in rather than a tub/shower combo. Michele provided plenty of fluffy towels, hair dryer and bath products. The kitchenette was adequate for our needs and coffee, tea and milk were kindly provided.  Michele offered us tickets to Motorcross but we already had a heavy wildflower viewing schedule, so had to decline.  I recommend bringing an eye mask if you wish to sleep-in because the space has clerestory windows. 
Very nice!"
1664692,30787445,2015-04-27,28057272,Britney,For my first Airbnb experience I would have to say I'm highly impressed! Michelle was so welcoming yet gave us our privacy for the weekend. The space is AMAZING! We were blown away by the inside architecture & cleanliness. Space is also just as described. I would also like to add that you are within driving distance of downtown so the location is great. All in all a fantastic experience! I highly recommend. 
1664692,32725340,2015-05-20,8039969,Rahul,"Michelle's garage apartment was every bit as beautiful and sun-filled as the pictures make it seem, in addition to being clean and comfortable.  Michelle was very welcoming and responsive to my inquiries.  I'd be totally happy to stay here again on my next trip to Austin."
1664692,46095166,2015-09-07,2465114,Keith,"Michelle was an excellent host whom was impromptu with our arrival and was well coordinated.  The garage house met my expectations and more!  I would highly recommend this apt to anyone.  
Sorry Michelle your Longhorns didn't do so well against Notre Dame. I hope they do better next game.

1664692,48843050,2015-09-28,10013315,Tony,"This was one of my all-time favorite stays with Airbnb.  First of all, the place was amazing and exactly as described.  Michelle was very prompt and friendly.  She warmly welcomed me when I arrived.  The access to Austin hotspots couldn't be better as this place is in an upscale neighborhood tucked between Lamar and MoPac.  Although I rented a car, every uber trip I took was less than $10 and, unlike most of Austin, traffic was never an issue.  Back to the place...when one hears ""luxury"" garage apartment, one might think it is a stretch but not in this case.  It was very well designed, decorated and architecturally unique with so many cool angles and features.  The garage apartment was immaculate.  The Murphy bed was extremely comfortable and all the linens were very high quality.  If safety is a concern, it shouldn't be at this place with the security gate and well lit yard at night (besides it's in an amazing neighborhood).  If you're in to TV, there is a large screen television and a perfect little office setup if you need to get work done.   I enjoyed this place so much and was fortunate it was available for my trip."
1664692,49787121,2015-10-06,33293294,Erin,"My boyfriend and I stayed in Michelle's garage apartment for ACL fest. It was very reasonable in comparison to hotels and our first air bnb experience so we figured we'd give it a go. Michelle's apartment was immaculately clean, beautiful and had a very quirky design. It was definitely within close range to everything ...we ubered everywhere and some places were walkable. We enjoyed our stay very much in Austin and will definitely be back! Thanks again Michelle!"
1664692,50750456,2015-10-14,39871984,Michael,"Michelle had the apartment ready and waiting for us when we arrived in Austin. Her arrival instructions were perfect and she was very helpful when we had trouble with the lock on the door (user error!). 

The apartment was very beautiful  and exactly as described in the listing. 

I would definitely recommend staying here in the future. 

"
1664692,52855841,2015-11-02,36082403,Calvin,Beautiful detached apartment in an extremely nice Austin neighborhood. Interiors are modern and cozy with nicely executed details. Very close to downtown but out of the chaos with easy parking. We loved it! Michelle was available and proactive for all of our vacation needs. 
7901285,43014094,2015-08-17,21456387,Sophie,The host canceled this reservation 52 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The room are nice and clean with a positive vibe and the location is very close to town. Also, she had great recommendations for places to eat and sightseeing, definitely won't have found Zilker park with all my newly sand volleyball friends, thank you. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline's place if you are in Austin and wanting to experience the local scenes with a touch of serenity."

7901285,46248489,2015-09-08,19787928,Jessica,"We enjoyed our stay at Jacqueline's. The room was comfortable if a little hot. However we know the Eco reasons for keeping energy usage low and of course the room is a good price. Jacqueline was friendly but busy with visits from family which is understandable. Finally if you don't love dogs you may find the 3 dogs overwhelming, however I enjoy their company and they were very well behaved. I particularly enjoyed browsing Jacqueline's many interesting books on topics ranging from cultural anthropology to mindfulness techniques. If we come to Austin again we'll be in touch."
7901285,47123953,2015-09-15,2041180,Paweł,"Everything worked out fantastic. I didn't met Jacqueline, though her roommate Simran was really accommodating and I had a good stay at their house. While I was there, there were other Airbnb guests, which I had good interactions with. House is located in quiet residential west Austin. It's ~40min walk to downtown. There is also bus stop 2 min from the house. I recommend this listing to fellow travelers. "

7901285,52659598,2015-10-31,11308471,Michelle,"The space was clean, comfortable and warm. Jacqueline and everyone else I met through her home were fantastic. She was very helpful with anything I needed during my stay.  The listing and pictures were accurate. It was easy to get to downtown Austin by bike."
7901285,52899419,2015-11-02,46736054,Kaching,"Thanks Jacqueline for the wonderful stay! I really enjoyed hanging out with the tame and friendly dogs. The house and room are both decorative, relaxing, and smelled amazing. The place was clean, Jacqueline offered us wifi, and the location of the listing is good. We really enjoyed our stay!"
2722532,32040052,2015-05-12,31015917,George,The host made sure the room and other areas were clean. The description was accurate. The neighborhood is near to a shopping center as well as various fast-food choices.

2722532,33028239,2015-05-24,32086321,Benjamen,"With a great location, this apartment was perfect for a weekend stay in Austin. It is only minutes from downtown and many delicious restaurants. The apartment itself was very homey, and very comforting.  Ta'Loria was very gracious as well as helpful! "
2722532,33685571,2015-05-31,19357985,Marti,Ta'Loria was a wonderful host. She was very prompt in answering any texts. Both the bedroom and bathroom were clean. We were able to come and go freely without feeling like we were imposing. She even recommended an awesome local coffee shop to us!
2722532,34373828,2015-06-07,34781637,Allison,We had a great stay in Austin! There were three of us and the room was perfect. The bedroom was comfy and both the bathroom and bedroom were both very clean. Ta'Loria was quick to respond to messages and stayed up till after midnight to wait on our arrival. Her apartment was also very close and convenient to downtown and she was awesome and helpful when we were trying to figure out what to do in Austin. We had a great two nights and I definitely recommend her place if you're headed to Austin.
2722532,34924686,2015-06-13,35521748,Tommy,Ta'Loria was really really nice! And laid back. Extremely hospitable. The apt was clean and comfy and a $20 uber ride to sixth street.

It was clean, cool, and quiet - the perfect place to stay while we saw the sights in Austin in the heat of July. Even though she was out of town during our stay, she made sure we were greeted when we arrived and she checked in on us periodically throughout our stay. This is a good listing to keep in mind if you are looking for an inexpensive stay with friends. It was my first AirBnB experience and I would stay there again/recommend to friends."
2722532,38799793,2015-07-18,25329797,Natasha,"This was my first Airbnb experience. And it went really smooth. The host was easy to get in touch with. Even though she wasn't there when I arrived, she made sure that I was able to access the location. The pictures posted are very accurate to exactly the environment you going to be in living in, which was good. The location was great also. Very easy to get around to places to eat."
2722532,39578009,2015-07-24,7648241,Jessica,Ta'Loria has a very clean and well kept place. She is very attentive and communicative. The check in process went smoothly. She does her best to make sure you are comfortable and always responds quickly.
2722532,40507488,2015-07-31,38840598,Janani,"My husband and I stayed here and had a pleasant experience. Ta'Loria has a clean and well-maintained apartment.

We were traveling across country and arrived 4 hours later and left later than expected and she was more than understanding. She was also a pleasure to talk with.

The listing description and comments were really accurate. The unit is nothing spectacular but it is clean and is a comfortable and safe place to lay your head. The location is ok and is located close to everything we wanted to see and do. 

Overall a pleasant experience. "
2722532,42994099,2015-08-16,41185445,Genevieve,"Ta'Loria was very welcoming and accommodating! Loved the ability to use the kitchen and having our own bathroom.

I didn't get to meet our host but she did check in with me regularly and I felt like I could contact her if I needed anything. The location was great. Next to the highway 35 and about a $15 Uber ride from 6th street, Congress avenue, and other downtown areas. Would stay at her apartment again! "
2722532,47019364,2015-09-14,43966729,Chinyere,"This was my first time traveling to Austin, TX and first time using Airbnb. The directions given to get to the  apartment were very detailed and clear which I appreciated. When we arrived at the apartment she was there to greet us with a key and gave a brief tour. The space was very clean and we had a decent sized room for the two of us. We were allowed to use all of the apartment ammenities and she helped us figure out what Austin had to offer so we could maximize our time."

630197,28297783,2015-03-22,5747204,Mark,"This is a beautiful and warm home in a very quiet and picturesque neighborhood.  Providing a much needed break from the madness of SXSW!  Our hosts were friendly and easy going, there was nothing we needed or felt we were missing.  Would certainly stay here again! "
8810945,50420608,2015-10-11,25176132,Kelly,"immaculate apartment, very clean. Fun guy to drink a beer with."
8810945,50729652,2015-10-13,46117878,Erica,"This was my first time using Airbnb, or anything like it- Kenneth was an amazing host all around. He was super lenient on check in and check out times, kept the apartment immaculate, and even provided fresh coffee/towels/etc for us. My friend and I felt safer than we have felt at actual hotels! I will definitely be back in the future- plus I owe him beer. :)"
8810945,52374995,2015-10-28,32377560,Tina,"Kenny is a great, simple & laid back guy! He made me feel at ease in his home, very safe, and accomodating. He gave me a tour of the place when I got there and for a guy, he keeps his space pretty clean. The run-down of what you needed to know was clear, concise & to the point, and it was a friendship from there on out! I was definitely grateful to stay here while in Austin, and even on some rainy days we had. "
929942,28030550,2015-03-16,28263490,Jasmine,"Day was a very accommodating and so hospitable host. My friend and I arrived around 10pm or so and Day and her fiancé were up to greet us. Day gave suggestions of good places to eat, and Taco More which is close to her house is delicious! Day was so nice enough to drive us to the train or bus stop since we did not have a rental car. The train is very convenient to take if you're coming to Austin for SXSW since the downtown stop is right in front of the ACC. There are a few dogs in the residence, but I love dogs so it was no problem at all. I had drinks with Day & her fiancé and they are literally very cool chill people. I'm glad Day was my host for my first experience using Airbnb. I would recommend anyone to stay there if they need a comfortable and affordable place to stay in Austin. "
929942,28407164,2015-03-23,8850451,John,"Our stay with Day and Jacob couldn't have been better. They were amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. I couldn't recommend staying with them enough. Airbnb is great for finding affordable places to stay but it's even better when you come away with two amazing new friends. Their house was north of downtown but it was so easy getting home on the bus (a five min walk) and Day would drop her plans at any time if we needed a lift somewhere. We each had a spacious bedroom and use of separate bathroom. I was sad to leave - they're really cool people, full of life and full of fun. I can't wait to seen them again."
929942,28920577,2015-03-31,30201488,Catherine,"Day and her fiancé were incredibly hospitable! Not only did they respond promptly to my request but they took me in and made me feel at home! They asked me about my day, offered dinner and even offered some amazing pointers for this city! I would definitely recommend them!"
929942,29893438,2015-04-13,30852955,Matthew,"I had a great experience staying with Day! She and her fiance were great hosts and even better guides. They gave me great recommendations of places to see in town, they were friendly and they opened not just a room, but their home to me. 

It was a very relaxed, laid back environment- if you like dogs, theirs are very friendly and always excited to see people! I had a rental car, but I spent many of my evenings out in an Uber. They're within about 10 dollars of anywhere in town (I think i might have spent 12 for one trip?) and a quick drive/uber away from some great watering holes. 

Their neighborhood was quiet, and felt very safe to me when I was there. The room that I stayed in was large and comfortable- i never felt cramped for space. 

Nice home, fun dogs, and a very open, communicative, welcoming couple. It was a good experience far from home!"
929942,30167874,2015-04-18,16156779,Emily,"She waited up all the way till midnight to let us in, very responsive, super clean place."
8342413,51394103,2015-10-19,238934,Drema,"Staying here was exactly what we wanted. Beverly and her husband, Burt, were great hosts. They gave us a lot of information about Austin and ideas about places to go. They let us know they would be as available or as scarce as we wanted them to be. 

The room area was as described and they made it clear the upstairs was ours. Lots of bath products which was a treat. 

Breakfasts were plentiful with lots of fresh fruit and coffee. The backyard was a retreat unto itself. Beautifully landscaped with benches and fountains, it was a nice place to retire for a glass of wine in the evening or take coffee out to in the morning. 

The cats and dogs are friendly as well!

Highly recommended."

Three of us stayed at the house and it was sufficient space for all three adults.  We definitely felt like we were on vacation.  The house was clean and ready for our stay.  Would stay there again the next time we are in Austin if we are allowed!  And, bonus, Thunderbird Coffee is a short walk away!"

Clean, well kept,  a perfect location, an adorable coffee shop (that also serves beer and wine!)  right next door, and Titiana was very sweet and accommodating. I'll certainly be staying here again if there are any more trips to Austin in my future. "
767425,4697142,2013-05-20,6431599,Michael,"As a first timer on AirBnB, I couldn't have asked for a better stay. Tatiana and her assistant Pat were amazing hosts! A+"
767425,4820242,2013-05-27,1887423,Humberto,"Conveniently located near downtown Austin, the Arboretum, and the Domain with quick access to I-35, Hwy 290, and Mopac.  Clean, comfortable, and quiet home.  Neighborhood coffee house literally 2 doors down (try their peanut butter and chocolate dessert - one of the best I have ever tasted).   HEB grocery store no more than 1 mile away.  Would certainly stay here again."
767425,6630473,2013-08-19,7774794,Jackie,Great experience!  The house is in a central location and extremely clean.  Tatiana and her crew are the epitome of professionalism.  I couldn't ask for anything better.  I would highly recommend staying in this property!
767425,8409969,2013-10-29,7834944,Karlene,"This was truly a lovely location for our mini va-ca in Austin. Very clean, quite and accommodating. Close to everything. Loved the ease of checking in and checking out that Tatiana provided. All the comforts of home away from home and the layout is great. Highly recommended for families, or friends hanging out in the Austin area. Thanks Tatiana. "
767425,8687955,2013-11-12,8879452,Jim,"  It worked out great--spacious, comfortable, clean.  Staff were very responsive to our needs while we were there."
767425,8817811,2013-11-19,9467177,Justin,"Tatiana's place is great. She was a pleasure to deal with and  I would recommend her place for anyone traveling to Austin.

"
767425,9030742,2013-12-02,40405,Amy,"My in-laws stayed here for Thanksgiving and thought it was great.  Not luxury accommodations, but it was a decent amount of space (much better than most hotels), well-maintained, and very clean.  Only one shower (upstairs), but that worked for them. Thumbs up!"
767425,11031884,2014-03-17,8831036,Jua,Our stay was good. The house was very clean and ample space for 4 people. The only drawback is that there's only 1 shower. Other than that the space is perfect. 
767425,13683820,2014-06-02,14891718,Ivy,"This location was great for the events we had planned. It's centrally located and right next to an HEB and other fun spots. It was nice to have our own space but still not feel too far away from one another. Overall, I was very pleased with this choice. "
767425,14657086,2014-06-23,16787173,John Michael,This property was fantastic. It was plenty of space for myself and four friends. There was a 1/2 bath downstairs and a full upstairs. This was our first Airbnb rental and we were definitely pleased. We had a little trouble finding the place only because I didn't read the instruction email closely enough. Location was great just a few minutes from everywhere we wanted to be. We are already planning another trip and hope to stay here. 
767425,20902055,2014-10-07,19937266,Lorenzo,"Spent a weekend there and had a great time, perfect for a small group of people. Didn't have any problems at all.
Thank you."
767425,28816708,2015-03-30,28195241,Robert,Pretty clean house all around. Really amazing part of town. Everything we needed was provided from the get go.
767425,46170767,2015-09-08,23296758,Madeleine,"I booked this house when my six friends and I were traveling to Austin for a Labor Day weekend wedding.  I think this house would be fine for a smaller party but ended up being a bit cramped for us. Although the listing made it seem that at least 6 would be comfortable here, the house is more of a carriage house that would be best for a smaller party.  We had three couples and one single and planned to give the twin bed room to the single and use the other rooms for the couples.The main problem was that the sleeper couch in the den upstairs was extremely uncomfortable and we drew straws for who would sleep on it. In the end, the only single member of our party ended up sleeping there for the duration of our stay and he made it a bit more comfortable by sleeping on top of sheets and pillows.  It simply would not be possible for a couple to sleep on that futon due to a metal bar running down the middle. 

Overall, this house was adequate because we spent very little time at home. It certainly feels more like an investment property than a home and is located behind an insurance agency and is simply  furnished with cement floor. If you are looking to cook at home or have tall/large people in your party, the small kitchen and shower may not meet your needs. We used the kitchen mostly for coffee in the morning. A few cockroaches were spotted. Because it was so hot outside, we were not able to sit at the picnic table outside or really use the grill outside. We did enjoy being close to Torchy's Tacos and Thunderbird Coffee and had no trouble getting Ubers to the city from the location. Most importantly, the air conditioner worked which was crucial in September. 

If you have a smaller party than we did and don't plan to be home much, this place is somewhere to lay your head at night. It ended up being very inexpensive when divided among the members of our party so that was a plus. I never met Tatiana as the property is managed by Turnkey and all my correspondence after the booking was through them."
767425,49204191,2015-10-02,14689323,Celeste,Great place! 
367445,1004126,2012-03-15,1864255,Jen,"I just loved my stay at Casita! I came during SXSW and it was such a lovely respite from the chaos of very long workdays! Caroline was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate and work with. A wonderful value for the money to have full kitchen, bath and living spaces! Would stay again!"
367445,1054020,2012-03-27,1993505,Pamela,"The Castita is clean, comfortable, quiet, centrally located and just the right size. Caroline was incredibly responsive to my last minute request, and for that, we were very grateful!  We hope to return again for future stays in Austin."
367445,1254139,2012-05-09,2134211,Brandi,"The Casita was perfect for our needs.  May parents stayed there and the very short walk to nearby restaurants/coffee shop was awesome.  The neighborhood is very nice, lots of friendly foot traffic.  The Casita is clean, cute and accomodating.  We didn't expect the bed and kitchen to be in the same room (it's not clear from the photos) but that wasn't a problem, just a suprise :)  
Caroline was nice very quick to respond to all communications and requests.  

Thanks Caroline and Casita!  Will recommend to others!

Brandi"
367445,1280707,2012-05-14,2296800,Harriet,Great little cottage. I loved being across from Elizabet Museum with all the wild flowers. Nice privacy. Would definitely stay again. 
367445,1296083,2012-05-17,2294748,Elizabeth,"My stay at the Hyde Park Casita was wonderful! The little home with two separate rooms was clean, the bed was comfortable. Caroline was a gracious host and she was especially appealing because I could bring my Sheltie with me! I look forward to renting from her again!"
367445,1327547,2012-05-22,2073066,Amy,"We had a great time in the Casita!  It had everything we needed, it was quiet, clean and comfortable. Loved being able to walk to Quacks for breakfast and having the grocery store, restaurants close by.  Walked the neighborhood every morning, felt completely safe.  Would recommend to anyone wanting to go beyond the tourist experience. "
367445,1385727,2012-05-30,441299,Trevor,"I had a wonderful stay at Caroline's Casita for an extended holiday weekend in Austin.  The Hyde Park location was ideal for the four of us, and the accommodations were more than comfortable.  It felt like our own cozy cabin retreat.  Caroline's book selection kept us busy for the down hours indoors and relaxation between all of Austin happenings.  I can recommend staying here, and would love to visit again myself. "
367445,2461263,2012-10-01,1681682,Becka,"I was looking for a sublet in Austin for the summer that was furnished and in a good neighborhood and would give me an introduction to the city with an eye towards moving there permanently.  This little casita in Hyde Park was exactly what I'd hoped to find.  It's in a wonderful location (especially in the summer months -- there's a public pool less than a block away) and it was so nice to be able to walk a few blocks and have coffee shops and great restaurants and a grocery.  The casita is lovely: a great size for one or two people for longer stays, but with a super comfy futon couch for guests.  All of the amenities are available as described and Caroline was a wonderful and attentive hostess.  I wish I was there right now and I wouldn't be surprised if I book another stay in the future.  Can't recommend it enough."
367445,2580521,2012-10-11,3435197,Stanley,I stayed in the Casita as I looked for a Casa of my own in the neighborhood. I introduced myself to Caroline and her family at start of my stay. I had plenty of privacy as the Casita is accessible directly from the street on a very quiet street. I found the location hyper-convenient - groceries and coffee are literally a block away. Little tips posted on the fridge helped me find these kinds of basics in the area. The reading selection kept me engaged when I wasn't out on the town. A very homey way to spend time in Austin without breaking the bank. 
367445,2745600,2012-10-29,3520629,J. Grant,Fantastic space in a fantastic neighborhood. Caroline made sure the Casita had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and it was a wonderful visit.
367445,2925303,2012-11-20,2285124,Daniel,"Great little place in a charming neighborhood with easy places to walk to, no problem parking, and easy to get the local bus to downtown or the University. We came for the F1 race and it was great to partake in the festivities downtown but come back to a quiet place to easily sleep in the next morning.

Also very useful in not disturbing the owners since they have a corner lot and the Casita has it's entrance on one side while the owner's main house faces the other side of the corner.

If we come to F1 in Austin next year we'll definitely put this place on the top of our list."
367445,2967456,2012-11-26,3927342,James,"Delightful place, great books, nice radio (and on preferred station when arrived!), quiet, very private, in very good location.  Stay was very easy and hassle-free for us, very highly recommended. "
367445,3041211,2012-12-08,3974503,Tyler,"Lovely retreat. Fabulous location. So easy to reach anything. I spent time here while babysitting my new granddaughter. Park across the street is wonderful. The first few days of my stay the street was being torn up to repave. HUGE road tools all over the place! I never even heard them!
Slept like a baby. I will SO COMPLETELY come back when visiting family in Austin."
367445,3116005,2012-12-18,4370677,Roland,"A great private place in a great location.  The neighborhood is excellent with most things walk able.  The casita had everything we needed for our stay.  It was clean, private, spacious, comfortable, reasonably priced, full kitchen, lots of entertainment items (wide variety of books and games).  Caroline was very accommodating and quick to respond to our inquiries.  I will definitely stay here on our next visit to Austin.  Dec 2012"
367445,3141886,2012-12-23,4342569,David,"We had a great stay in the Casita.  It feels very private, which was great for us because our infant son's occasional middle-of-the-night crying didn't bother anyone.  The bed is comfortable, there's reliable wifi, and great water pressure in the shower.  Getting to downtown and SOCO was a snap -- there are several bus lines nearby, as well as a good cafe/bakery, super market and restaurants.  Overall highly recommended -- I'd definitely stay again.  For the price, the Casita is an AWESOME deal.  There's also close proximity to a public pool and park, and we loved being able to take our son to the swings every morning."
367445,3263385,2013-01-04,4077627,Jean,"This casita was just perfect for our week long visit to Austin!  The inside was clean and comfortable.  Unfortunately, we had locked ourselves out, but when we had to bother the host  to get back in, she was very understanding.We would not hesitate to stay here again."
367445,3384014,2013-01-21,4438860,Kathie,This lovely casita was well equipped and i had a pleasant stay for a week.  The bus is very convenient to the university. There are a lot of nice shops and stores that are within a couple of blocks. I would stay here again.
367445,3471515,2013-02-04,4606370,Patrick,"We enjoyed our stay very much. The Casita was scrupulously clean and tidy when we arrived, and it's a great neighborhood to stay in. We also enjoyed meeting Caroline and her husband. We will certainly plan to stay here again the next time we visit our daughter and her family for any length of time and, with one small caveat, can confidently recommend it to others. The small caveat is that the bed is in the kitchen (or the kitchen is in the bedroom) so that, if one of a couple gets up much earlier than the other and wishes to make coffee or breakfast, he/she needs to be very quiet about it!"
367445,3612146,2013-02-26,4296438,Laurie,"The casita is lovely-spacious and clean. It's location was perfect for exploring Austin. Having a grocery store and several wonderful restaurants a short walk away was icing on the cake. Also right next to a nice park and a museum across the street...loved staying here!
"
367445,3622230,2013-02-26,4834066,Neil,Loved it.  Quiet and comfy. Great neighbourhood for exploring Austin by foot.
367445,5835386,2013-07-18,7067494,Rachel,"This cute casita is the perfect place to feel like you live in Austin. I had a wonderful stay. It's close to great coffee shops, restaurants, and parks. Just a quick drive to downtown or the university. Very comfortable! "
367445,6422179,2013-08-12,6923249,Laurel,"Great hosts, amazing location and perfect for my family of 4!  My kids adored the lower shelves of the bookcase which had toys, puzzles and kids books.  I loved the very well stocked linen closet and a little outdoor sitting area.  I thought it was going to be weird having the bed in the kitchen, but it totally worked.  Loved this, hope to be back!"
367445,9244701,2013-12-16,9910507,Kia,"The Casita is perfect if you want privacy and independence.  Caroline is very accommodating with information and assistance, and the facilities are cozy and comfortable.  The Casita is in a great location for all sorts of sightseeing--especially if you enjoy sculpture, as there is a remarkable museum just across the street.  We have stayed with Carolyn twice now, while visiting family in Austin, and will stay again on future visits.  In addition, we have recommended her to others who have upcoming visits to Austin.  "
367445,9625155,2014-01-03,10823931,Jenny,"This is an adorable space with lots of character and in a lovely location.  Compared to other apartments it also seems to be extremely well priced.  

We thoroughly recommend a stay here."
367445,10349916,2014-02-15,3694616,Elizabeth,"The Casita was fantastic! I rented it for a friend who wanted a walkable neighborhood near campus, & this part of Hyde Park (where I also live) is perfect: coffee shops, restaurants, & a great little grocery store, near a bus that goes to campus and then downtown. The Casita is spacious but cosy, and Caroline was absolutely wonderful to work with. It's also a GREAT value for Austin. "
367445,10450541,2014-02-19,4403279,Wendolyn,"Thanks to Caroline for a great stay!  Her Hyde Park Casita is cute, clean with everything you need for a few days of fun in Austin.  You simply can't beat the location - walkable to everything you need.  We'd definitely stay again."
367445,10742563,2014-03-05,2225186,Deb,"The Casita in Hyde Park is a great bungalow, plenty roomy for two and could be comfortable for four. Caroline has equipped the space with everything we needed and more. The towels were soft, the books wide-ranging and the games plentiful.

We LOVE the neighborhood with a park and pool nearby, and lovely, quiet neighborhood streets to walk in mornings or evenings."
367445,10818506,2014-03-09,3125564,Timothy,This is a great little casita located near the heart of Austin! Easily accessible by the Capitol Metro and in a quiet neighborhood. I would be happy to stay here again in a heartbeat!
367445,10974173,2014-03-16,10264,Peder,"great place. we were 4 adults and had a good time staying there. the area a short bike ride (or bus ride) from down town. private entrance, easy going host."
367445,11262562,2014-03-27,12147987,Daniel,We had a great time visiting Austin! The Charming Hyde Park Casita was a great location for us. Caroline was very quick in her email response. I would recommend this as a great option for accommodating several guest on your next Austin experience! 
367445,12617624,2014-05-06,9689940,Jaime,"Hyde Park Casita was perfect for the three of us!  The main bed is in one large room along with the kitchen and dining table, so if you are more than a couple, it isn't very private, but for us it was great.  Neighborhood is beautiful and it was wonderful to stay across the street from the park."
367445,12834551,2014-05-12,660535,Tim,"This little apartment in Hyde Park is really nice. The location is as good as it gets: a short walk to a park, a grocery store, a coffee shop/bakery, and multiple bars/restaurants. The space is perfect for a couple. I rented this for my girlfriend's parents who were visiting from out of town and they loved it. There was plenty of room for them, and they liked have the separate living room type area to sit in and read books. As a Hyde Park resident myself, I highly recommend the casita, both for its amenities and location. "
367445,13129332,2014-05-20,11378513,Heidi,"The Casita was perfect or our weekend in Austin. The neighborhood was beautiful for morning walks and extremely well located- close to restaurants and UT, and walking distance to the grocery store. The Casita itself was very well equipped with every amenity needed. Our host was gracious and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again when next visiting Austin."
367445,17047550,2014-08-06,3992178,Martha (Marty),"The Hyde Park Casita was in an excellent, centrally located spot. I could easily walk to nearby coffee shops, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. Shipe Park was just across the street and my family and I enjoyed cooling off in the pool. Since the bed is located in the same space as the kitchen, dining, and bathroom, it was a good space for a couple but would lack privacy for a larger group."
367445,17249237,2014-08-09,19409152,Michael,"I had a fantastic time!  The place was marvelous, the location was perfect and on the fridge was a list of everything around me to explore.

I cannot recommend this place, or this host enough."
367445,17476728,2014-08-12,19246688,Cable,"The Casita in Hyde Park was perfect for our family!  The location is ideal!  A very short walk around the corner to grocery, killer food and restaurants.  We found the house, neighborhood, and shops so kid-friendly-as well as Austin.  There were lots of books and even some toys too.  A free castle, park and pool right across the street.  Right across the street!!!  Of course, this place would be fantastic for folks without kids too.  Wish we could have stayed longer.  Three cheers for Austin and our host Caroline!  Thanks again!"
367445,17754409,2014-08-17,16654806,James,"The host and her husband were very accommodating and friendly.  They were readily available for questions and assistance.  The place seemed even larger than pictured, and there were two air conditioners to keep both rooms evenly cooled in the hot summer that reached almost 100 degrees."
367445,20182991,2014-09-25,11665927,Eva,"The Charming Hyde Park Casita has become our home in Austin. The space is great and worked perfectly for our family of four. Clean, bright and cosy, the house had everything we needed for our almost two-month-long stay; it even has toys and children’s books, which my daughter loved. It is perfectly located in a great neighbourhood: the playground and park are across the street and the shops and restaurants of 43rd and Duval are round the corner. Bus stops are only a couple of blocks away and several buses take you to UT and downtown Austin in about 10-15 minutes. Caroline has been a very attentive and accommodating host. We loved our time here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the house. Thank you, Caroline, for everything! We’ll be back soon."
367445,20643328,2014-10-03,11665927,Eva,Don't forget to visit the Elisabet Ney museum across the street!
367445,21821418,2014-10-25,11665927,Eva,"It was our second time in Caroline's casita, and we already miss it! If we are ever back in Austin, we would love to stay here again. It's a wonderful place and Caroline is a wonderful host. Thank you!
"
367445,22194491,2014-11-01,14057850,Katherine,"I dare you to find a better AirBnB rental in Central Austin! Double-dog dare you! Seriously though, this was a really fantastic spot. Caroline was an excellent hostess and just what you want from AirBnB -- very hands-off and hidden for the most part, but the second you have an issue she pops up and takes care of it for you with excellent communication. For example, when I first arrived at the rental I had a little trouble with the internet connection. Caroline was extremely responsive and took efforts to improve the wifi so that I could connect better. I also left behind my iPhone charger (d'oh!) She immediately messaged me to let me know and offered to mail it back to me. (Fortunately, I was right around the corner getting coffee so I was able to come back and get it.) Very, very positive experience!

I also can't stay enough positive things about the location ... but then again, I lived a few blocks away for 10 years (before moving to Chicago) so I'm a little biased. You'll be next to museums, coffee, restaurants, a tiny grocery store, yoga and a gym, a free pool, the post office, and best of all a BUS that will take you downtown in 10 minutes flat (the #5 right on Speedway.) I dare you to find a more relaxed yet convenient location than this!"
367445,22394311,2014-11-05,4160774,Aldie,"We had a wonderful stay at this Charming Hyde Park Casita!  Beautiful location, the little house was located right across from the Elizabeth Ney Sculptor's Home/Museum, with a small park.  The listing was just as described:  2 large rooms, having everything you needed!  The neighborhood was lovely and very safe; natural grocery store, coffee shops, restaurants located several blocks away.  We needed to work while on this little mini-vacation, and the internet was solid and provided what we needed."
367445,22588481,2014-11-10,10676548,Adam,Caroline was very easy to work with. The Casita is nice and the neighborhood is great.
367445,22842018,2014-11-16,6394711,Athena,"Caroline's Casita was the perfect little getaway. We loved the quiet neighborhood location, and enjoyed walking to the nearby cafes and grocery store. Easy access to the freeways with only a 10 minute commute to downtown was also a plus! The casita was very well insulated and had space heaters that kept it cozy while we were out & about over the chilly weekend. Caroline was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our needs.  We would absolutely stay here again if we ever come back to Austin. "
367445,23078899,2014-11-22,18120376,Juliet,This little house was perfect for our stay in Austin. Thank you!
367445,23237555,2014-11-26,4370677,Roland,Second time staying here. As good as the first. Caroline is very responsive to inquiries and has great suggestions. 
367445,23375105,2014-11-30,21023221,Margo,"Everything was as described in the listing. The location was on a quiet street in a walkable neighborhood. We were out early and in late so never met the hosts.

In order of importance, here's how I rate everything:
1) the bed - 2 stars. It felt like it had seen better days and had a droop in the middle. The bedding was 5 stars.
2) climate control - can't rate because the weather was so beautiful we didn't need any.
3) Internet - 5 stars. Easy to connect and fast enough for our needs.
4) location - 5 stars.
5) bathroom - 4 stars. Tiny shower and very little counter space. Hot water was quick and adequate."
367445,24355118,2014-12-27,20729347,Andrea,"what a great little house! we loved it - perfectly fitted with everything you need, a fast wifi connection, great quiet location with good eats close by, and even toys and books to help our daughters feel at home. thank you so much!"
367445,24948438,2015-01-04,17492458,Isobel,"My parents stayed at  the Casita and it was perfect.  It was very cozy, even during the chilly weather and was extremely clean.  It was quiet and in a perfect neighborhood to see Austin.  Caroline was also very communicative and easy to get in touch with.  I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay in a great location in a fantastic place."
367445,25357404,2015-01-13,4461396,Mary,"We loved this casita.  Don't let the outside picture deter you.  The inside is cute and well equipped.  The bed was comfy and even though it was unusually cold for Austin, the space heaters kept it cozy.  The neighborhood is awesome with a grocery store and a great bakery right around the corner.  We walked around the neighborhood one night, felt completely safe and enjoyed looking at all the cool homes.  We would totally stay here again and highly recommend it!"
367445,25556601,2015-01-19,2882382,Candace,What a great experience. Caroline was very welcoming. She gave us information about the great neighborhood and was available if needed. The Casita had plenty of room and a wonderful homey feel. Thanks for a great weekend--we'll be back!
367445,25729119,2015-01-24,26314170,Laura,"We felt right at home at Caroline's. The weather was a bit dreary during our stay, but we were very lucky to have a cozy place to stay in and watch movies. When the weather was clear, though, the neighborhood was perfect for an evening stroll. I didn't actually meet Caroline during our stay, but she made everything so easy that there was no need. I would definitely recommend this spot for a relaxing, homey stay in a charming Austin neighborhood. "
367445,25889756,2015-01-28,21376559,Rachel,"Caroline was a great host! This apartment was comfortable and convenient. It is walking distance to a great local vegetarian restaurant, grocery store, and coffee shop. I would come back here on a future Austin trip. "

367445,27389869,2015-03-03,19651378,Scott,"I had a lovely week in this charming guest house in Austin. I never met Caroline, but felt very welcomed to find some sodas and ice cream in the fridge, and the heaters on for my arrival! It was an unseasonable cold week in Austin, but the space heaters made the place very comfy. The  apartment was clean, and well stocked, and the location excellent. As noted, there are some great dining spots right around the corner, as well as small but charming grocery, and a coin laundry. Great bakery as well! Internet was great, too. All in all a lovely little place!"
367445,27592913,2015-03-08,25164865,Emma,"The Casita is a great Airbnb rental! It was exactly as advertised. It's in a great, walkable neighborhood, you have easy access to other parts of Austin, the Casita was very comfortable, and had plenty of space for us.

Caroline was accessible, and quick to respond to questions. All in all, it was a great experience, and we would definitely stay here again!"
367445,27760297,2015-03-11,26325114,Mzia,"   Caroline's casista was perfect for our visit to Austin.  Everything we needed was stocked in our ""home away from home.""  Weather was cool and rainy and portable radiators were perfect.  We absolutely loved the neighborhood.  Shops and restaurants on 43rd street were so cool!  Driving to downtown was easier than we expected.  Grocery very near by so we could pick up whatever we needed.  Very clean, well equipped.  Many thanks Caroline.  We look forward to visiting again."
367445,28297785,2015-03-22,10736989,Fabrizio,"The Casita was cozy,clean and well equipped with towels,great bath products,books,a stereo,coffee,brita etc. . It has a private entrance and never met Caroline but felt she was there for me in case anything was needed.
The neighbourhood is pretty and quiet (slept like a baby!),yet a block away from supermarket,laundry,3 or 4 restaurants,a hipster cafè/gelato place and even a barbershop ;) if you're here for Sxsw rent a bike,enjoy the ride and get rid of the toxins day by day. Great exp,no complaints ready to do it all over again ;)"
367445,28814957,2015-03-30,28864920,Sean,"Very clean Casita, cozy and inviting. The book selection was ample, location is fantastic, and communication was great. Couldn't have been happier with the experience!"
367445,29046395,2015-04-03,19096609,John,"We enjoyed the Casita very much. It was the perfect size for two. We loved the location. It was a quiet neighborhood close to many of the things we wanted to do. We just took a quick trip down Red River Street to get downtown. In the morning, the White-Winged Doves in the surrounding trees serenaded us awake. "
367445,29282606,2015-04-06,28012795,Christian,Very cute neighborhood.
367445,30410046,2015-04-21,3395108,Eryn,"Caroline was very communicative and made everything very easy for us. The place was just as described and was perfect for our little vacation. Great neighborhood- fun to walk around and see the houses, as well as walkable to groceries and some restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here! "
367445,30792751,2015-04-27,29959113,Alejandro,"Great place and location. I enjoyed my stay in la casita. Neighborhood is very nice and walking distance to some great coffe shops. Downtown is only 10 minute ride, you can get on the bus which is only a block. Caroline was very attentive, she would reply to my emails very fast. Thanks!"
367445,31452194,2015-05-05,10052892,Wim,"We had a great time in Caroline's place. Nice quite neighborhood, and a lovely small house that makes you feel at home right away. "
367445,31875690,2015-05-11,26176771,Lisa,"Wonderful little cottage in a super convenient location for vegetarians like us. Place was super clean and tidy with plenty of amenities (shampoo, soap, cleaning supplies). Bed was super comfy. :) Caroline lives in the house next door and was accessible the moment we arrived. Every morning, we woke up to a melody of birds chirping outside our window, which was a relaxing way to ease into our day. We would definitely stay here again! Great experience!"
367445,32972968,2015-05-24,29578648,Stacey,"I feel so lucky to have found Caroline's adorable Casita! It truly made my family's stay in Austin exceptional. While we did not meet Caroline in person, her communication was friendly and thorough. 

The home is very clean and cozy, yet spacious enough that we did not get in each other's way. Caroline has an amazing library and we enjoyed staying in as well as going out to all the nearby neighborhood hot spots. 

My grandmother has mobility issues and having comfortable, ground-floor accommodations for her was a true blessing. I can't believe the great value. Thank you, Caroline!!"
367445,37325482,2015-07-06,11819896,Marina&Steve,"Just around the corner from our small house, Caroline's casita was absolutely perfect for our visiting guests. Very comfortable, clean, and in the perfect spot. Thanks Caroline!  Our guests will be your guests again."
367445,37744668,2015-07-10,1976132,Lorri,"The location couldn't be better. Right next to a free public pool (even open for adult lap swimming in the mornings!), and  a block or less walk to a grocery store, coffee shop/bakery, and restaurant. Really peaceful neighborhood, too. Very comfortable and convenient place."
367445,41461847,2015-08-07,39173078,Alexis,"We could not have had a better stay at Caroline's casita. The neighborhood was perfect - close to everything we wanted to do and super quiet and safe. We were in and out all the time and always felt glad to be home at the casita after a long day.. we're already talking about how much we'd like to go back. Caroline left us all her information and seemed very accessible if we needed anything, but everything was perfect so we never came in contact! As a young traveling couple, we would highly recommend this place to anyone Skip the hotel, stay at this place. :) "
367445,41699231,2015-08-08,40143886,Marian,"Caroline was great! House was fairly easy to find for someone who'd never been to Austin before and BEAUTIFULLY appointed. Everything we could have wanted was there. I distinctly remember thinking, I wish we had more than one day in that place. 

There were four of us and we fit just fine. And downtown was easily accessible. This was my first airbnb experience. Just a great experience of host and place. Highly highly recommend!"
367445,42775895,2015-08-15,40636484,Marieli,"Extremely pleasant stay for my family of four which includes two young kids (3&5). The house is nicely decorated and includes toys and activities for the kids as well. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook and eat a meal. The location was great as we were approx 10 minutes away from downtown Austin and different places (thinkery, Barton springs pool were two of our favorites) for the kids. You are also walking distance from some good restaurants, pool, and shops. Will definitely stay here in my future travels to Austin. "
367445,46068009,2015-09-07,37857212,Havana,"Had a great stay at the Casita over Labor Day weekend in Austin. Location was ideal, private but only about 10 minutes drive to downtown and 25 minutes drive to the airport. The casita itself was clean and whimsical, perfect for my husband and me but could comfortably sleep at least 4. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Austin. "
367445,49766274,2015-10-06,6569333,Lyne,"Lovely stay : The casita was exactly as shown on the pictures, clean and comfortable (fantastic matress!), with plenty of useful suggestions pinned on the fridge. The area is great, in front of a museum, and in the middle of trees full of singing birds : what a pleasure to simply drink a coffee outside while the sun rises and the squireels play... Also, grocery shops and restaurants are very close, plus an excellent bakery where one can finds delicious expressos and a various yummy cakes. I met Caroline once, she's a busy lady, but it was when my friend couldn't start his car and she was really fast to come and help though it was night already : i highly recommend  to book with such a kind host. Thank you so much, Caroline, I miss Austin already, and partly thanks to you !"
367445,50652618,2015-10-13,14341065,Jon,Caroline was a great host. Very responsive and helpful. I stayed here for ACL. The Hyde park area was pretty convenient for getting around the city. However you will have to uber to get downtown. The unit is a guest house. Small and charming. It was clean and well prepared when we arrived. Overall it was a great experience. 
367445,51265683,2015-10-19,34999352,Nancy,"Quiet, comfortable, spacious, nicely set up, and in a great neighborhood. Books! Natural fibers! We would love to stay here any time we are in Austin."
367445,51770950,2015-10-24,45387047,Brooke,Such a cute and comfortable place to stay for a weekend in Austin. The area around the Casita was adorable and within walking distance. Would absolutely stay there again! 
4376863,22329619,2014-11-03,22704646,Yamel,"Mike and his friends were very kind and friendly. The neighborhood is peaceful, quiet, and safe. It's the kind of place where you will find tons of Mexican food. I went to the GP of F1 and it was really worth it since I took the bus from downtown (where the shuttles depart), to the circuit.  Mike y sus amigos fueron muy amables con nosotros, el vecindario era tranquilo y seguro, esta cercas de muchos restaurantes de comida mexicana , y esta a 2 calles la parada del autobus que te lleva al centro de austin si no quieres irte caminando. Yo fui por las carreras de formula 1 y me fue muy bien para el transporte en los shuttle de la calle trinity t 4th. En fin recomiendo hospedarse con Mike."
3782513,17721288,2014-08-16,19403514,Wendy,"Meghan and Gregory both made me feel very welcomed into their home.  The room is exactly as pictured and feels private.  Room and bath were clean.  Bed was comfortable.  Meghan and Gregory share their coffee in the morning.  

The neighborhood is convenient, right off the highway, and not far from a grocery store (HEB).  "
3782513,21298600,2014-10-14,21368081,Chris,"This was a great first experience for my first time using AirBnB. Meghan and her husband Greg are very accommodating and have lived and traveled quite a few places themselves, so if you have time and they're not busy, its definitely worth getting to know your hosts. My one regret staying here is that due to being out a lot, we weren't around more. As far as the physical accommodations, the room and private bath are exactly what you need, the handles for the cold and hot water in the shower are reversed but this wasn't really an issue once you figure it out. The room can comfortably host two people, it was a friend/coworker and I there so we needed separate beds and the beds were comfortable, I slept fine. If you're going out in downtown Austin (and don't want to drive), it's only $15-$20 Uber/Taxi Ride, so don't be scared off by the fact its 6 miles from downtown. I definitely recommend this place and the hosts and can only hope my future AirBnB experiences are as positive. "
3782513,22028200,2014-10-28,7643556,Joanna,"My father was delighted with the room and also enjoyed interesting conversation with hosts whom he found extremely pleasant and welcoming. Thank you for a great solution for hosting my dad, we will definitely book your room again in future."
3782513,25533984,2015-01-18,26073193,Claire,"Enjoyed our stay in East Austin. Hosts were quite accommodating despite our last minute reservation and late arrival. Our room made for a comfortable sleep on our way through to West Texas. Had good conversation with Meghan over coffee in the morning, and made lifelong a friend in Grady the cat. "
3782513,28128878,2015-03-18,5802984,Adrien,Both Meghan and her husband were amazing hosts during my stay ! Everything I needed was provided and the room was just perfect (with a private bathroom access). I would be more than happy to stay there again. I strongly recommend this unit to any future potential guests ! Thanks so much Meghan ! Hope to see you guys next year :)
3782513,28394738,2015-03-23,22400757,Jack,Greg & Mehgan were Terrific hosts and the accommodations were excellent. Private bath has nice fixtures...cool patio to hang out at... Oven & BBQ
3782513,31076944,2015-05-01,31828313,Mike,"Meghan and Greg were excellent hosts. The room was comfortable, and had everything I needed. I like peace and quiet during my downtime and they were happy to leave me to my own devices, but were more than willing to help me with any questions I had. Overall, it was a lovely environment and a great place to lay my head down. Thanks guys!"
3782513,50284953,2015-10-11,39412647,Biomimicry,Meghan is nice and thoughtful.  The room is cozy and comfort.  I quite enjoyed the time in her place.  She let me feel like home and easy.  Her cat is lovely!  I'd like to stay longer next time! 
5258398,27071767,2015-02-24,3226106,Rebecca,"Trey's place is great. It's clean, comfortable, and has everything you need to feel at home.  It's in an easy location to get to downtown Austin (with a car) in no time.  They were very accomodating to my late night arrival and met me in person.  Highly recommend it!"
5258398,27408754,2015-03-03,7177483,Dani,"The place is great! It had the three main things I hope for - super clean, great bed, good shower. It also has a lovely light, airy feel.

The loft was just as pictured/described, open and airy, WiFi, very convenient, safe and beautiful location with easy access to shopping, restaurants, coffee places and also easy access to main highways. It was very clean and all needed amenities were provided.  Trey was easy to keep in touch with and responded to any texts almost immediately. I would highly recommend this cute loft to anyone and would gladly rent this unit again should the need arise. Great price for all you get.  Great Airbnb experience. "
5258398,30414024,2015-04-21,24417115,William,We had a great experience. Trey was very accommodating and helpful. The place was clean and as promised. I have no reservations about recommending his place to any future tenants.

Everything was amazing for the duration of my stay and I had no problems so I didn't need to really contact anyone about any problems. Although I showed up early for checkin by about an hour or two everything was taken care of as soon as I got there. This is a great place to stay if you want something smooth and simple!"
5258398,32394419,2015-05-17,31516804,Charles,"Trey was super-helpful before, during, and after our trip. Everything was as shown and it is easy to see why the reviews here are so good! We enjoyed our week in Austin and the apartment was perfect. (I even managed to get in a couple runs along the trails while we were visiting!) The washer and dryer were helpful as well! I have more trips coming up for Austin - this place is on my list to stay again, and I recommend it for anyone looking for a nice place to stay."

It was also easy to take Uber downtown. The condo building itself was very quiet. Overall, it was a great stay. "

Caroline was very attentive throughout the process and the on-site staff were also very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was well-equipped and more than what I could've hoped for. Very happy and satisfied with the experience overall. Thank you!

5309636,46748385,2015-09-13,38966526,Nicholas,"This place was an adorably comfortable place to stay. I stayed several weeks and it was well worth it. The complex itself has wonderful styling and neat little touches. The grill/pool area is inviting. 

When I arrived the place smelled great and there was music playing, great first impression. Plenty of towels left for my stay. Really cute design in the space itself."
5309636,52756401,2015-11-01,10734561,Taylor,"Great place to stay!!! The bed is amazing, and a great location! The apartment atmosphere is very unique! Definitely recommend staying here! "

961883,5202104,2013-06-17,2260494,Anthony,"The location of this apartment alone is worth the price of admission. Upon entering it was clean, spacious and more than enough for my quick weekend trip.

961883,6267992,2013-08-05,5339788,Steve,"Their place was very nice, clean, accommodating, and perfect location. I left it very clean, with garbage in their trash cans just as expected. I do appreciate the discount they provided very much, but later found out they expected the place to be left IMMACULATE because of that (which they failed to communicate to me prior). In the end there was just a break in communication of what both sides expected. I'd stay there again but would just be clear in communicating whats expected during your stay."
961883,6636602,2013-08-19,6354267,Marcus,"Super convenient location and cozy apartment made me feel like a native Austonite for a weekend. Very clean and comfortable space and bed. Will definitely book with them again, if they let me :-)"

961883,7512329,2013-09-23,7993230,Rustin,"Awesome, hip apartment. Three of us stayed comfortable here for four nights, and everything worked out well. Raquel and Jacob were very responsive and helpful in regards to things to do/see while we were in Austin. The apartment's location was also prime...right in the heart of the downtown area. Anything we wanted to do was walking distance or a short cab ride away. "
961883,8001589,2013-10-12,8630091,Travis,"We stayed here for 2 nights and it was perfect. The view of the capital is amazing, the location is great, and the place was very nice and well kept. We will stay here again when back in Austin."
961883,8076954,2013-10-15,5162068,Mike,"The space is fantastic, perfect set up for a great stay for a couple or a group in Austin. They have a great speaker set up that's easy to use and ready to plug into any device. 
Raquel and Jacob are very gracious hosts and are very quick to respond to any needs that come up. They gave me great ideas for parking and where to go in town. 

I plan on staying with them again!"
961883,8188724,2013-10-20,7656472,Jeanne,This loft was perfect for a weekend getaway to Austin. It's centrally located and very walkable to both east and west 6th street entertainment districts. It's located far enough from all the action so you won't be disturbed by the nightlife. Everything was neat and tidy. We really enjoyed the cassette player and stereo system.

The location is very close to downtown Austin, Raquel and Jacob were very responsive as hosts, and the place was clean and well-maintained. Be prepared that it is quite cozy for four people. Two people will have to share a bed unless they request an air mattress."
961883,8753043,2013-11-16,5884242,Rachel,"Raquel was so accommodating and very quick to respond to texts.  The location is great and the place is really clean and nicely decorated.  Just note that if you plan to use the beds in the living room, the windows are very loud.  You can hear every word and car from down the street.  Also, the parking can be a pain on weekdays.  If I didn't have a car and needed a good, clean location, I would absolutely rent from here again."
961883,8951590,2013-11-27,218859,Franc,Amazing place! Amazing host! I recommend this place to anyone that wants to be close to everything.
961883,9088728,2013-12-06,8625211,Vero,"The loft is beautiful! I love the street, very calm and nice view! Thanks!"
961883,9176094,2013-12-10,295851,Jordan,"I messed up and reserved for the wrong week by accident but host was gracious and accommodated us anyways!

The apartment is exactly as described. *Amazing* location and view. Great walk ability to all the fun stuff on 6th but also to UT if that's more your scene. Hosts have a wonderfully helpful tumblr with things to do, worth checking out.

Electronic locks means there wasn't even key shuffling or exchange, so easy! Hosts are very responsive."
961883,9216020,2013-12-14,1224212,Ilija,"Super fast and easy communication, great apartment, amazing location, would love to come again!"
961883,9486097,2013-12-30,9297120,Zach,Great place-- awesome location.
961883,9731533,2014-01-06,5818846,Leslie,"Perfect locale. Except for giving me the wrong code to get in. Small one bedroom with a walk thru to the bathroom is not what the host describes online.  The bathroom is dingy, but the main problem was lack of toilet paper and too few frayed towels for the number in our party.  Excuses not that helpful.  Be sure the place is stocked, and don't try to put more than a couple with kids they like here; layout doesn't work for three adults unless they are intimately acquainted."
961883,10378945,2014-02-17,6988679,LaRae,"This is a WONDERFUL place.  The loft was clean and comfortable, with a beautiful view of the Capitol.  Raquel and Jacob were very responsive and helpful, and even reached out throughout the stay to check and make sure I didn't need anything.  

The loft is a great location, as it's right by the capitol and easy walk wherever you want to go downtown.  I was attending a conference at the convention center, and thought the walk to 2nd and Trinity might be too far, but it was a quick and lovely stroll down Congress.  

Though I had the place to myself, it would comfortably sleep 4.  The small kitchen was perfectly stocked with cookware and utensils, and I very much enjoyed listening to old Queen cassettes and other gems that Raquel and Jacob have provided in the loft.

I've already recommended the loft to several conference-goers, and will continue to.  If you're staying in Austin, particularly for an extended stay, this is a great home-base.

"
961883,10619902,2014-02-28,11736432,Jeff,"This was my first attempt at using the AirBnB service.  I was quite pleased with my choice.  It's only about a 20 minute cab ride from the airport. The place was conveniently located to downtown, which made walking to restaurants quite easy.  Also, there is a bike rental station just up Congress towards the Capitol building...another convenient and fun way to get around.  The place was clean and well stocked.  Internet access and plug and play music was painless.  I would definitely consider staying here again the next time my plans take me to Austin!"
961883,10694900,2014-03-03,9050969,Sakal,Great location and great hosts. They even left beers in the fridge! 
961883,10774499,2014-03-07,9417768,Gabriel,Everything was exactly as described and the apartment lived up to the pictures. Raquel and Jacob were very hospitable and I had an excellent first Air BnB experience.
961883,11151335,2014-03-23,5306891,Kristina,"Great location, very clean apartment. Raquel and Jacob were responsive to our questions over text and email. This place is definitely a good value. The apartment is ideal for one person or a couple, as the living room windows face a main street and there is light and noise from the street. But, the daybeds were comfortable and we found a white noise machine in the closet, so it all worked out!"
961883,11249627,2014-03-26,12427348,Deirdre,"I stayed at this loft over the past weekend with my sister. I was in town for an Open House Day at UT for a graduate school program and the location for us (without a car) was perfect. Super easy getting to and from
The airport to the apartment - there is a ""100"" bus stop a couple blocks down on 3rd and Congress. We found this easier than the provided directions. The apartment itself is great - very cutely decorated and super comfy bed plus you can't beat the capital view from the window. The hosts were very communicative and easily reached. We had no problems but I'm sure they'd be very responsive if anything would have come up. They even let us leave our bags for an extra hour until we headed back to the airport, much better than lugging them around Greenbelt. The keyless entry also makes for a very smooth, no hassle check in. No regrets choosing this spot from air Bnb and I would definitely recommend it to friends, family, and fellow air Bnb-ers. Thanks for the enjoyable stay! 
"
961883,11347654,2014-03-31,6966185,Sylvain & Jessica,We had a wonderful weekend in Austin that was even better thanks to the beautiful apartment and assistance we received from Raquel and Jacob! Highly highly recommend!
961883,11663093,2014-04-11,11340940,Ning,"This historical loft was perfect for my business trip.  Spacious, comfortable, clean and convenient.  Raquel and Jacob were great hosts and very accommodating."
961883,11737283,2014-04-14,11228410,Willis,"Incredible location in Austin. Clean, functional and very pleasant place to stay, right the heart of the city. Raquel and Jacob made it simple to check in and out (keyless entry is great). They are friendly and they also provide a very professional experience. And don't forget the great Capitol View. If I get back to Austin, this is the only place where I want to stay. 


"
961883,12073804,2014-04-22,13410801,Rory,"I had such a wonderful stay here! It was really a seamless experience and we felt right at home. Great location, too! Thanks to Raquel and Jacob for having us!"
961883,13155683,2014-05-20,13067644,Andrew,Communicating with the host was fast and easy. Their instructions and recommendations were great and the keyless entry was so convenient when I got in after 10pm.
961883,13590210,2014-05-31,9116468,Michelle,"Raquel and Jacobs apartment is fantastic, situated in a great location with a lovely view of the State Capital building.

Our previous accommodation canceled on us only 24 hours prior to arriving in Austin. Thank fully Raquel and Jacob were great communicators making the booking process very quick and very smooth.

One comment, which is a personal preference,  the bed is very soft so if you have trouble sleeping on a soft mattress,  you may struggle here. Otherwise the apartment is very comfortable and clean.

Thanks Raquel and Jacob!"
961883,14072513,2014-06-11,7549221,Margaret,This was a great place and very convenient to everything we wanted or needed.  
961883,14705722,2014-06-24,9505857,Annie,"The loft was absolutely perfect. We actually live just a few blocks away, but wanted somewhere special to stay for our wedding night. Everything was very clean and the view of the capitol was lovely! We are excited to have discovered a great place to stay near our home and will certainly recommend it to family and friends who visit in the future! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and worked with our busy weekend wedding schedule and our need to check in a little early. The roses on the counter were a special touch for our wedding weekend! Thank you again!"
961883,15315198,2014-07-07,14892487,Michael,"This is a great little place that we would come back to in a heartbeat. The capitol is quite literally across the street (only a parking lot separates) and restaurants and nightlife are steps away. Could not ask for a better location in Austin, especially for the price. Raquel and Jacob are great hosts, easy to communicate with, and they make check in and check out a breeze. Would definitely recommend this place."
961883,15882417,2014-07-17,2593202,Josh,"The apartment is great. My girlfriend and I used the B-Cycle (which is one block away) to get everywhere we needed to go. We also walked around the city because the apartment is centrally located.

The speakers were awesome to play music after a long day of exploring. The apartment is a good size and definitely felt like our little home while we were in Austin.

Would stay here again."
961883,16043543,2014-07-20,1093754,Darren,great host and area. host was super-responsive. i've stayed there before and is why i stayed again!
961883,16179199,2014-07-22,16750850,Erin,"Although my and my boyfriend's stay in Raquel and Jacob's loft was a short night, everything was perfect. The rooms were tidy and very clean. The place was a great walking distance from everything and Raquel and Jacob make it easy to know where to start. The view of the Capitol was gorgeous! We would definitely stay again when visiting Austin."
961883,16476908,2014-07-28,16881121,Jeremy,This place is in an excellent location to experience Austin! The hosts are very helpful and made the trip very comfortable. The place is nice and comfy. Would definitely recommend to others.
961883,16959455,2014-08-04,19201709,Nick,"This was a last minute airbnb search and Raquel+Jacob were one of the few to respond quickly. We arrived 1.5 days after booking and the place was very well kept. As others have mentioned, the location and view were awesome. 
Also, the bed is very comfy. Haha."
961883,19030581,2014-09-05,1411683,Brian,We enjoyed staying in close proximity to everything downtown. 
961883,19787446,2014-09-18,19037816,Charles,Great place. Right in downtown. Easy to get around from. Everything was super smooth
961883,19824834,2014-09-19,12363858,Christopher,Great rental!  Outstanding location.  Incredible view of the capitol.  Very close to all things interesting in Austin.  Very clean and cute.  Nicely decorated and equipped with necessary items.
961883,19876981,2014-09-20,9468546,Sophia,My boyfriend Weston and I really enjoyed your adorable Austin apartment. Will keep your place in mind on our next visit to Austin. The place was very clean and inviting. Thanks for making our experience memorable :)
961883,20149067,2014-09-24,6254827,Vanessa,"Nice walkable place. I liked that the loft had sleeping area for about 4 people. For the price, I think the experience could be a bit fluffier: ie - hand soap in both bath and kitchen, some basic cooking supplies like olive oil, the place could be fixed up a bit nicer. Kind of felt like an extra clean dorm room. Worked for our purposes but was no frills. "
961883,20313070,2014-09-27,8972401,Anthony,"Great place, great location for downtown visitors, very convenient. Definitely would recommend!"
961883,20892240,2014-10-07,272237,Candice,"Great spot with a great view! Clean and architecturally beautiful loft in a quiet neighborhood. Raquel + Jacob responded quickly to all my messages so was never left in the dark. Biggest plus for me: everything is walkable from this place, including Zilker Park and the most adorable local grocery store I've ever encountered."
961883,21469783,2014-10-18,18165004,Verity,"Cute little apartment, perfect for one or two people, might be a squeeze with more than that. 
Nicely furnished and maintained in a wonderful location! 

No toilet paper on arrival, but this was quickly resolved by Raquel and Jacob. 
Very quick response times from hosts. "
961883,21588640,2014-10-20,9523071,Doug,Very convenient location. Easy check in and out. Thanks!
961883,22063606,2014-10-29,20706698,Michael,"The apartment was neat and clean. The manuel they provide online is detailed and informative. Nice view of the capital. Not too far of a walk to the convention center, and quiet at night."
961883,22353630,2014-11-04,16353504,Eric,"This place was fantastic! Check in couldn't have been easier, and communication was always super prompt.  We were a bit concerned about the parking due to special events going on, but in the end we were able to find parking a block away, so it wasn't a big deal.  The loft was clean and really well located.  My two friends loved the place as well.  I'd definitely love to stay again should I find myself back in Austin!"
961883,22576757,2014-11-10,72485,Sarah,"This is a fabulous place to stay if you ned to be in downtown Austin for any reason.  It is clean and well appointed, with everything you need, yet still homey and relaxed.  The bed is very comfortable, and the view of the Capitol is really nice.  It is far enough away from any noisy street to be peaceful, but close enough to walk to most things!  Perf!!
Jacob was helpful in every way.  All our communication was by text, but he answered each question I had and was always gracious and attentive to my needs.  As a single traveler, this made a big difference!  He was also very collaborative and accommodating when I arrived a day early without realizing it!  In my opinion, this puts him in the highest category of host - thank you Jacob and Raquel!!!"
961883,23939977,2014-12-15,14896836,Ania,"I stayed for 5 weeks. Great place and great host. Small issues were resolved promptly.
The place does not have a washing machine which is necessary for an extended stay but my laundry was picked up washed and folded same day for a small $5-10 tip. No TV but I don't watch any!
The view and the location is unbeatable which are the important things. Felt safe. Greatest coffee in Austin in 1 min walk (lavazza). Highly recommend it."
961883,25600399,2015-01-20,20243197,Scott,"The place was exactly as listed. The bedroom was big enough, the common area contained two comfortable beds, and the bathroom was nice. There were two of us in town for a wedding, and the dual bed setup in the common area actually worked out much better for lounging around than a single couch would have. There's no TV, but that's fine because we were out exploring the city the whole time. When we were home we would plug some music in to the speakers...nice touch there."
961883,25696811,2015-01-23,6214427,Stan,"Jacob was excellent in communicating and had a great attitude about everything. The place was just as described, definitely had that musical Austin touch, and it was a few blocks away from all the fun things in Austin. Definitely the perfect replacement for an overpriced hotel. "
961883,25808218,2015-01-26,17847272,Tracey,"Hosts were very well organized and very accommodating. The apartment is very cute and worked well for four people who were in and out throughout the weekend. The sound system is great and the location is very convenient to fun places in the city. Highly recommended, thanks Raquel & Jacob!"
961883,26060030,2015-02-02,14454350,Jimmy,Everything was great and the spot was very quaint.  The apt is very clean and the all the linens were like new. Great view of the capitol and very little walking to distance to main attractions.  The area is also quiet at night.  I would stay here again and recommend friends to do so as well.
961883,26276731,2015-02-08,9016731,Tien-Tien,"Excellent location (for easy walking access to the Capitol, UT, 6th Street bars, and the waterfront) and really well done for such a cozy space.  Was a little suspicious of the parking recommendation in the manual, but watched the youtube video (so helpful!), parked in the lot as recommended, and didn't get towed!  Also appreciated the very easy check-in procedure. Host knew we were looking for neighborhoods to move to and gave us some really good insight."
961883,26372487,2015-02-10,5475143,Jayshree,"Raquel and Jacob's loft was perfect for our stay in Austin. We were in and out all weekend--easy location to get to all neighborhoods. The place was kept clean with new linens and towels, and had nice views of the capital building. Their instructions made it really easy to check in and out, and Jacob was easily accessible by text message. He was also super flexible and accommodating with different check in/out times--much appreciated!"
961883,26420269,2015-02-12,25698116,Mike,"Raquel and Jacob were extremely easy to deal with.  They made the arrival easy and even arranged for an early bag drop.  The apartment was clean, comfortable and as described.  "
961883,26672628,2015-02-17,23222089,Amy,Lovely apartment! Exactly as described and pictured. Having a code for the door was great. Recommend if you have an event downtown or are active and want to rent bikes. No need for a car.
961883,26805566,2015-02-19,1232157,Diana,"Check in was easy. The online manual was extremely helpful. Place was cute, clean and very well located. Would stay again the next time I am in Austin. "
961883,27045525,2015-02-24,5619763,Kim,"Raquel and Jacob's place was super duper convenient for walking around. We walked way East on 6th Street to White Horse and way South to all of the shops on South Congress. It's just a block from the Capitol and we had good drinks at the Driskoll, watched the bats come out from the bridge at dusk, and caught a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse. Jacob was super responsive to a couple of small issues, even bringing by a new coffee maker over the weekend. 

A word of warning that the church bells are really loud at 8am so you might be served well by some earplugs, and when the heat is on (and I would imagine that this is normally not even an issue since it was unusually cold the weekend we were there) the windows in the bedroom really rattle and it sounds like a helicopter is hovering outside!

Thanks guys, we would definitely stay again!"
961883,27107099,2015-02-25,27213921,Derek,This place is great. Neat and tidy with prime location. The front door dumps you straight onto 10th and congress which makes it really convenient to all that downtown has to offer. The views of the capital at night are hypnotic. I would definitely recommend/stay here again. 
961883,27185761,2015-02-27,4285796,David,"Cute, neat place in a great location. Thanks for a smooth experience!"
961883,27465904,2015-03-05,9542474,Kristen,"Felt very welcome in the apartment! Pics very true, a very comfortable space. Jacob was very responsive to texts and even had great suggestions of things to do! It was a great experience."
961883,27650152,2015-03-09,26478737,Lindsay,The space was beautiful and Jacob and Raquel were very helpful. I highly recommend the list of restaurants that they've provided. The view was absolutely beautiful! 
961883,28115944,2015-03-18,20896934,Kate,"Jacob was a great host -- he was super prompt in responding to any questions that I had, and checked in to ensure we were enjoying our stay. 

The location of the space can't be beat -- we were attending SXSW and found the apartment very convenient for attending sessions and events. "
961883,28672582,2015-03-28,370881,Lisa,"Awesome location in Austin for work trip -- coworkers were down at the W and it was an easy and safe walk to meet them before/after work. 

Apartment is clean, straight-forward, and as described. I was the only one staying, so can't speak to the daybeds comfort. Mine was great.

Raquel and Jacob were very responsive to my questions and feedback (was looking for an alarm clock, for example). 

I did have some issues with very loud very late night neighbors on a random Thursday night which made it hard to sleep. Bad for a work-night. Sounded like they might be moving but Raquel mentioned there were earplugs I think. Worth asking about in advance if you're a light sleeper or there for a business function like I was."
961883,29078858,2015-04-03,2936348,Creekside Cottages,Sweet little place. Amazing location. Exceptional communication with hosts.
961883,29298810,2015-04-06,28775841,Mandy,"It was a very pleasant experience staying at the Loft. The location was within easy walking distance to all the attractions to 6th St and a doable walk to Rainey St. It was a bit tight and would have slept 4 comfortably, to sleep 5 adults is a stretch. I would stay here again. "
961883,29498970,2015-04-08,18919944,Kristin,Very nice view.  Comfy bed!  Thanks for a nice stay 
961883,29687343,2015-04-11,29595320,Sandra,"Perfect place to stay in Austin. Clean, cozy loft was super convenient to ACL and downtown. We will definitely stay again upon our return to Austin. "
961883,29823593,2015-04-13,27158278,Nancy,"Raquel and Jacob were in touch quite often to tell me of each step in the process and walk me through.  This was my first experience with Airbnb, so I was very appreciative of their attention to detail and their willingness to answer all my questions.  They even provided additional photos when I asked about certain things.  Their check-in/check-out handbook was quite simple and easy to understand.  The door code provided worked the first time and every time after.  The condo In Austin was in a great location - just a few steps from the capitol, Congress street, great restaurants, and close enough to 6th street.  The condo was clean, just the right size, and the bed was extremely comfortable.  The shower is small, but not much time is spent there, so it was adequate.  All in all, this was a great place to stay with lots of charm.  I would definitely consider staying in this condo again if I ever get back to Austin."
961883,30120358,2015-04-18,23905414,Natalie,"Fantastic stay! This was the perfect place for us to stay in Austin in the days leading up to our wedding, before we checked into a hotel with all of our guests. The location is fantastic, and the loft was exactly as described, and a very cute, fun, and comfortable place to stay. The daybed feature was especially great as it enabled my sister to stay with my fiancé and I for a couple of nights. And Raquel and Jacob were fantastic hosts -- very organized and responsive. Highly recommended!"
961883,30268524,2015-04-19,31341393,Josh,Very clean apartment with easy weekend parking and comfortable bed. Good value compared to hotel options. Great stay!
961883,30396165,2015-04-21,29241126,Tamara,"The pictures and description are all accurate. Raquel and Jacob are very nice and thorough. The loft is a spacious, beautiful place and in a great location. I would highly recommend this airbnb."
961883,30614253,2015-04-25,18059228,Melinda,"Raquel and Jacob were very responsive before, during, and after the trip. That being said, there wasn't much I needed to contact them directly about--everything I needed was in the apartment manual--how to check-in and check-out, food recommendations, etc. It was really nice not to deal with unknowns during our first trip to Austin. We had a great time, and the apartment is in a lovely, safe location. Being close to the capitol building was great for the views, and it was a short (~15 min) walk to other sights (bars and restaurants) we wanted to visit. 

I would recommend the space to a couple or small group of friends--definitely folks you don't mind being in close quarters with, given that the bathroom is inside the main bedroom. That wasn't a problem at all for our group, but something to keep in mind for others interested in the space. "
961883,30820041,2015-04-27,24335628,Dana,"Awesome apartment and awesome location. Loved the close vicinity to so many things. Parking was easy, apartment was clean and had everything necessary for a comfortable stay."
961883,33778695,2015-06-01,28606201,Katia,"We stayed there for about a month. Raquel and Jacob are great hosts, made us feel very welcomed. They answered our questions very quickly and when we had a couple of issues they did their best to fix them. 
The place itself is located right next to the Capitol and the heart of the downtown. It's probably not ideal for a family especially with small kids as it gets very noisy during the night - sirens, garbage trucks, drunk parties, noisy neighbor; so if you are a light sleeper you will find it hard to sleep at night and early morning.  
Location wise it's close to the Capitol and the 6th street with all the pubs if this is what you want, however if you don't have a car it's a bit hard to walk anywhere else with a pram. Bus stops are not far, the nearest Whole Foods Market is a good 20 minutes walk. 
Anyway, it's a great place to stay if you want to have fun and go to the pubs etc, probably not as much if you have young kids and if you need to cook for them."
961883,34538008,2015-06-09,6591639,Ally,The apartment was lovely and as described and pictured. Instructions were clear. The internet worked well. Very centrally located and easy to get to. Overall we had a great experience. Thanks!
961883,34993073,2015-06-14,33926795,Sarah,"This was the best AirBnB I have ever stayed in. Extremely cute apartment in a very central location, was able to walk to almost everything that I wanted to visit. Hosts provided information and suggestions on where to go in Austin which we used everyday. Highly suggest staying here. "
961883,35419946,2015-06-18,1410918,Nadim,"Great location. Walking distance to bars and restaurants.
Apt is as described. No complains at all. 
Great spot if you are 2-3 people visiting Austin for couple days"
961883,36042205,2015-06-24,5431208,Corey,"Apartment was great, very comfortable and cozy, and easy to communicate with Raquel and Jacob. Fantastic view of the capitol dome! "
961883,36315929,2015-06-27,7620738,Alexandra,"Great stay! Everything was very easy in terms of arranging our stay, and keyless entry made it super easy for a late night arrival. Excellent location - amazing views of the Capitol! - and a very comfortable place to stay. We were two friends staying, so used the bed in the bedroom and the day-bed in the lounge, and this worked perfectly. Thanks - would stay again!"
961883,38517638,2015-07-16,35733927,Irene,"Raquel and Jacob own a great apartment that is centrally located; you can pretty much walk anywhere within 30mins. It has a great view too. Checking in was very easy and the hosts were very responsive to our needs. The wireless internet was weak at times and there was an incident at the apartment on our last day, but the hosts responded promptly. We love Austin and would stay here again."
961883,39283146,2015-07-22,13305883,Jessica,"The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming. I had all of my questions answered and everything was made very clear before our visit. The apartment was very comfortable-- perfect for three of us traveling to Austin! It's located right downtown near the Capitol (a 10 minute walk to 6th street, too) with lots of parking. There were extra sheets and pillows provided in the closet (which came in handy as at least one of the sets on the bed we found to be used already). Everything else was wonderful. Would recommend! "
961883,39681690,2015-07-25,52637,Tristan,I loved this place so much! So close to all the fun and an amazing view of the capital for sunset. They even have a great array of cassettes - my favorite personal touch. Hosts were extremely obliging and responsive when access code didn't work. Thank you both for hospitality and recommendations in area. I will only stay here when back in austin. 
961883,43815397,2015-08-22,39466261,Anne,The owners are very responsive to all of your requests and accommodating.  The place is clean and as described.  Would definitely stay here again.
961883,44233731,2015-08-24,18400888,Lelanie,"This listing is too perfect. So cute and close to everything! My friends and I walked everywhere we needed to go. Huge bathroom with great lighting (always a plus). If it is available, STAY HERE! I recommend to any and all. "
961883,45302020,2015-09-01,40779314,Jessica,"Location was great with a lovely view of the capitol.  We had a few issues with things when we got there and wish these were set-up/taken care of before we got there.  The host was not responsive for the first few hours, but later tried to resolve the problems through text.  It would have been helpful if they came to the apartment to take care of the issues rather than all the back and forth and having us bother another one of their tenants to coordinate a resolution.  The apartment itself is clean and well furnished.  The bathroom is very very small unfortunately.   One of the neighbors downstairs is extremely noisy, blasting EDM at 7AM.  We thought they were banging on our doors, but it was so loud that it was actually them banging on their own doors.  Just a few minor things that can be worked on other than that.  The location is probably worth it.  Thanks for the stay."
961883,45970642,2015-09-07,14323447,Jerry,"Raquel and Jacob's place was perfect for what we needed.  Comfortable and cool, in a great location right downtown.  We really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely stay there again."
961883,47272021,2015-09-17,37538239,Amber,We were only in Austin for a couple of days & Raquel & Jacob's place was perfect for our stay. So close to everything with coffee shops & restaurants right outside & what a pretty view of the Capital Building at dusk! The apartment is beautifully decorated & feels homely. If we return to Austin we would definitely love to stay here again. 
961883,47955136,2015-09-22,31606864,Cristal,The condo was really cute and in a great location. Raquel was great to deal with. The only problem is that there is a loud neighbor that seems to be awake all night. It's fine if you're not a light sleeper though.
961883,48419989,2015-09-26,27468756,Julio,"Great area, The host made me feel welcome and I had a great stay."
961883,48685646,2015-09-28,35465662,Sara,"Raquel and Jacob were excellent hosts. As first time AirBnB users, this couldn't have been a more perfect way for us to visit and see Austin. The location is perfect, the apartment is as described in the photos - no surprises, and we were able to see the entire city by foot over the weekend we were staying. We had some issues getting into the apartment initially (door code wasn't working) but Raquel and Jacob were quick to assist and everything was fixed/updated/working properly. As others have said, the people living in the unit below this one are a bit loud (music playing at 2AM) but I'm a very light sleeper, my husband, didn't hear anything. Certainly wouldn't keep us from coming back. Highly recommend, will defiantly come back!"
961883,49366570,2015-10-03,44254790,Billy,Loved the locations and the space.  Perfect for my week long work trip to Austin.  
961883,51005916,2015-10-17,1679918,Annie,"Raquel and Jacob have an adorable apartment in the perfect downtown Austin location and they provided a very detailed guide to the apartment and left excellent recommendations for the area. We had an issue with the electricity, but they responded and fixed the problem quickly, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting downtown Austin! "
961883,52291898,2015-10-27,17618540,Anna,"We were very lucky to have stayed in the loft. Raquel and Jacob are professional, organized and respond very quickly to emails. The loft is beautiful, bright with lots of windows. Very comfortable. Close to our favorite places downtown and a quick drive away from everything else. Our top choice for next year's visit. "
961883,52540392,2015-10-30,11518981,Sam,Great stay at Raquel and Jacob's place. Always very accommodating and easy to get in upon arrival. 
7542470,41551581,2015-08-07,37907436,Eloïse,It was a short (one night) but a five star experience!! AJ and Meaghan were really welcoming and gave us good advices!  The house was beautiful and the bed really comfy! I definitly recomend this place! 
7542470,42583595,2015-08-14,3417961,Yvonne,Review is in earlier message.
7542470,43884692,2015-08-22,41813087,Elias,"Very very very welcoming couple. The home is modern and extremely inviting. I slept in the room with a whiteboard in it, which helped with my studies for the MCAT. AJ & Meaghan were extremely accommodating with all my needs. Definitely recommend their home for a comfortable short stay. "
7542470,47853546,2015-09-21,43942935,Becky,"I had a great experience at AJ & Meaghan's home. I was only there for one night and got in late so I didn't get the chance to meet them, but their home and my room was beautiful, clean, and very conveniently located for downtown. I absolutely recommend them!"
7542470,49340170,2015-10-03,6208093,Thibaut,"AJ is a great host, very friendly and helpful.
The house is awesome; the room was super clean.
I would highly recommend this place."
7542470,49775865,2015-10-06,3488762,Lyndsey,AJ and Meaghan weren't home during the weekend we were in Austin but they did a great job of making us feel welcome even so. The room was clean and the house was well-designed and modern. We loved the neighborhood- in up and coming East Austin. Thanks so much for a great home-base to explore a new city from.
7542470,50626014,2015-10-13,30987864,Gail,"We were in Austin to attend ACL and this place was in a great location as we could walk downtown to the shuttle.   There are many restaurants and bars nearby.   It's also a quick walk to the Capitol and Texas State Cemetery.   The house is very clean.   While it was very clear that another bedroom could be rented in the house (and Meaghan told it was before our visit), it was not clear to either couple that we would be sharing a bathroom.   It worked out okay but it was ""bathroom roulette"" in the morning and evening as we were all getting ready and coming home from the same event at the same time.   There were no mirrors in the bedroom we had so no opportunity to do some bathroom related things in the bedroom.  There was no storage in our room for our clothes.   We had to push some personal items to the side in the closet to make room for our suitcases which we used as dressers.   They are a very nice couple but they are very much working from home (as stated in the description) - on the phone both upstairs and downstairs so guests need to be quiet.  As there were other guests floating in and out of the house, it felt a bit like a hostel.   For some folks, this would probably be perfectly comfortable but it wasn't a great fit for us.  "
7542470,51156308,2015-10-18,29562553,Chance,AJ and Meaghan have a fantastic house! The quality of stay couldn't have been better. I would absolutely stay there again if I returned to Austin. Highly recommend.
7542470,51905766,2015-10-25,9635709,Alessio,"AJ and Meaghan are very kind and delightful people. They made us feeling at home from the first second and it has been a pleasure staying with them. They are very open and helped us in everything we needed. Moreover, they have great recommendations on restaurants and places to go :)

The room is nice and clean as the house is as well. The locations is very convenient, you can reach basically any place in Downtown with a short ride or a 15-20 minutes walk if you are up to it. The neighborhood is quite and safe.

Definitely a great stay!"
7542470,52715344,2015-11-01,45125771,Ann-Kristin,"Mein Zeit bei AJ & Meaghan war wirklich sehr schön. Alles hat super geklappt. Die Kommunikation war einwandfrei und ihr Haus und das Zimmer war genauso, wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte. Die beiden waren auch extrem hilfsbereit und gastfreundlich.  "
2411898,11207794,2014-03-24,13311695,Jennifer,"I had the most lovely stay! First of all, I really appreciate how accommodating Ashley was- I not only made plans last minute but arrived late at night, and she made sure that everything was incredibly easy for me. Her space is clean and comfortable and creative- I loved it. The whole experience was so relaxing and we had a great conversation. The house is also very conveniently located- the street is quiet and peaceful but within walking distance of downtown, the state capitol and tons of restaurants, cafés, and bars. I would definitely recommend it!"
2411898,20473822,2014-09-29,21690695,Sam,"This was my first stay with Airbnb and because of this amazingly wonderful experience, I will be using them time and time again.  Ashley wasn’t there during my stay, but she kept in touch to make sure everything was going well. Her friend Steve helped settle me in and was a fantastic host making sure I had everything I needed. The bedroom was perfect, the house stunning, and the neighborhood quiet, yet centrally located. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Austin. -JL"
2411898,21685684,2014-10-21,9396771,Dana,"The house is gorgeously decorated and the room is very comfortable (exactly as advertised). 

The location is a 15 minute walk to downtown but in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. It was a great place to relax after a long night out :)

A.C was out of town for the majority of my stay but very responsive to phone calls and texts.  Would definitely stay here again. 


"
2411898,22050901,2014-10-28,8084966,Saschka,What a wonderful and peaceful place Ashley has that she welcomed me to. The house is perfectly tucked away from the busyness of downtown but still just a 5 minute cab ride from everything. And just around the corner is a lovely morning coffee cafe. Add on top of that the welcoming Ashley and you got yourself a perfect Airbnb place.
2411898,30525537,2015-04-23,4358294,Inessa,"Ashley was not around during my stay but was available via phone and text. She was easy to get a hold of, responded quickly, and was really accommodating, especially when I misplaced my key! The house looks exactly like the pictures and it was nice to be in Clarksville, near Whole Foods and Medici Cafe. Halfway through my stay, something came up and Ashley had to use the house so I changed to a different Airbnb, but she had kindly offered to put me up at her friend's nice place instead. "
2411898,35971226,2015-06-23,13865160,Dave,"Ash was an amazing host.  I have primarily used AirBNB for Private/Entire House so this was my first time actually staying with the host.  The house and bedroom are very nice and as advertised.  The kitchen was well furnished and clean.

The living room was very comfortable with an abundance of coffee table books from cooking to fashion to art.  It was great to ""unplug"" and explore some new books!"
2411898,39981914,2015-07-27,184150,Fatima,I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Ash's home. She was incredibly welcoming and I leave Austin knowing I made a friend. Her place is in a very nice neighborhood and conveniently located close to downtown. I used Uber during my stay and found it very cheap to go places. Her room was spacious and I never felt like I was intruding upon her. I will definitely be staying her in the future and recommend it to others. 
9004408,52015916,2015-10-25,13142474,Anmol,"The location was great, especially given the bad weather that weekend. Chelsea was understanding of the fact that I would be checking in/out really early. I appreciated that!"
7368516,40295712,2015-07-29,39644090,Marc,"I run a fitness company, and I needed a place for some business associates to stay last minute during the week. Christina’s house was perfect, and frankly much better than a hotel.  My understanding is that my clients were one of the first group of guests at Christina’s house, so I wanted say to anyone interested in her house that I definitely recommend staying there. 
 
I will rent this house again in the future for clients and myself.  It made my company look good.  It was immaculate, comfortable and very well decorated with a great Texas feel to it.  My guests were impressed and loved the neighborhood.  A+.   "
7368516,40410394,2015-07-30,6245613,Nick,"Our stay at Locanda Toro was an excellent experience. The host was responsive and helpful.  The house was beautiful,  immaculate and comfortable.  This was much nicer (and cheaper) than getting 3 hotel rooms between my two work associates and myself.  We a great night in Austin and expensed less than half what we’d have to typically.  Our per diem went to a nice dinner at LaV just a few blocks away on 7th Street.  We’ll definitely stay here again when in town. 

East Austin is great now.  It’s very different from when I went to school at UT.  There are tons of options for food and cool bars, including endless food trucks which are all over the place and delicious. The neighborhood has completely revitalized, and we didn’t even bother going out downtown while we were in town."
7368516,40539444,2015-07-31,39745700,Milan,"We unexpectedly spent a night in Austin on our way down to Big Bend on a road trip from Michigan, and we had the fortune to find Locanda Toro.  Christina was super responsive, and her house was just fantastic.  The beds were more comfortable than ours at home.  She also stocked really nice shampoo & soap in the showers, as well as wine and coffee in the kitchen.
 
The neighborhood was great.  For lunch, we braved the wait in the famous Franklin BBQ line up the street from the house.  We hit up the East Austin bars at night.  We walked about 15min over to the big cluster of bars on E. 6th, although Austin is a little too hot for walking anywhere we probably should’ve just drove.  Austin has such character, and everyone is so friendly, we had a great time.  It was almost like being back in the Midwest except everyone said “y’all” instead of “you guys”.  We ate at Licha’s for dinner, and it was the most interesting and tasty Mexican food I’ve ever had… altho that might not be saying much coming from a Michigander.:)   
 
Anyway, the neighborhood and house were great.  If we stop in Austin on the way home, we’ll definitely stay there again."
7368516,41029965,2015-08-03,34832031,Farrukh,"The home was perfect. It was hip, modern, and had a warm homie feeling to it at the same time. It was a short distance from most places and downtown. The home was very clean and Christina was a great host. She followed up to answer any questions and make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend anyone visiting austin to stay here. Thanks Christina! Joana and Farrukh"
7368516,46162545,2015-09-08,40392336,Amanda,"Christina was a wonderful host! She was so helpful and answered  questions for us quickly and thoroughly. The house is quite lovely and very comfortable and well-appointed. My three girlfriends and I all had our own bedrooms and slept later than any of us had in years! We toured Austin via the wonderful bikes provided with the house. We had a great stay. Thank you, Christina! "
7368516,46978427,2015-09-14,43182064,Barry,"Christina's house is magnificent! Everything is so clean and organized and beautifully decorated. The small touches made all the difference (Kiehl's products in the bathroom, a ""take one, leave one"" wine policy and a fun array of artwork on the walls). This house is in the perfect location, with close proximity to downtown and the bar scene. Christina was very responsive throughout our stay. We will definitely be back again! "
7368516,47226897,2015-09-16,44018115,Lindsay,"I booked this property very last minute, and Christina got back to me very promptly to make the arrangements, and remained very available for communication.  When we arrived, the house was clean, cool, and prepared to receive us.  Instructions for care of the house and how to operate TV, sound system, etc. were very clear.  The house was super convenient to the number of places that we went around town, and I would absolutely return and recommend this property to future guests!  Thank you Christina for being such a lovely host."
7368516,47388454,2015-09-18,20614315,Luci,Christina's house was perfect for our group. It was clean and spacious. Located near good eats and downtown was only a few minutes away. Easy access to I-35.
7368516,47694063,2015-09-21,36716591,Cristina,"Beautiful home! Very well taken care of, modern, and comfortable. Location was convenient, but not necessarily within comfortable walking distance to downtown. "
7368516,48717065,2015-09-28,39079896,Lauren,"Christina was great!  She was extremely easy to work with, offered great suggestions for local activities/food, and always quick to respond.  The house was the perfect place for our group and had all the amenities that you could possibly need.  I highly recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin.  "
7368516,49667094,2015-10-05,43895762,James,"Christina's  place was great! My group and I had a great time. The place was nice and clean, with a little modern feel to it. The location was good too. Not too far from everything. Everywhere we went was about $10-15 dollar uber. Plus they had some bikes we could have used, But we opted out. Looked like fun though. Another nice amenity that we did not take advantage of was the ""take a bottle, leave a bottle"" of wine in the kitchen. So you could have a nice glass of wine upon your arrival if you didn't come prepared, or just maybe try something different. Either way next time I'm bringing a group of friends to Austin we'll be staying there again.

Thanks for the good times!"
7368516,50015053,2015-10-08,1587721,Sara,"Christina's house is great! The aesthetic is exactly as advertised--modern, cool, and totally comfortable.  The location is close to everything we wanted to do, and Uber is super easy.  As a host, Christina went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, including purchasing brand new pack n plays and a high chair for our use.  Highly recommended! "
7368516,50505177,2015-10-12,44348453,Brandon,Beautiful Home in a great location. Everyone loved the design and decor of the home. We were minutes away from Downtown. Christina was very easy to communicate with and was a joy to rent from. Will use this home again next time I'm in Austin!  Thanks for a great experience!  
7368516,51436859,2015-10-20,6030734,Jessica,Our 3-BR in East Austin was a beautiful space to spend a girls getaway weekend. Christina was extremely communicative before and during our stay and we went with many of her local suggestions and had a wonderful experience. 
7368516,51783238,2015-10-24,2499198,Melissa,"We loved staying here!  We've been to Austin many times & have never hung out in this neighbourhood.  It's a bit off the beaten path, but there's obviously a lot going on here.  Great restaurants & cute cafe a short walk away.  Christina's place was impeccably clean with beautiful decor.  We had such a relaxing time in this space.  Although, we didn't have time, I'd recommend renting her bikes.  You could pretty much get around anywhere this way.  It's a short ride to the river & downtown.  We will definitely be staying here again!"
7368516,52049500,2015-10-26,32241051,Brian,"Christina was an excellent host! We had many questions before arrival and she promptly answered them. Upon arrival, we were were welcomed into a nicely decorated, beautiful, and clean home. The decor was very modern and refreshing. The bedrooms were very spacious, all with queen beds. The master bath was gorgeous and provided a nice refreshing shower before heading back out on the town. The kitchen was more than adequate enough to cook a light breakfast or a full dinner. The proximity to downtown was very convenient. There are train tracks across the street, but the train was very quiet.  We hardly even noticed it. We loved everything about this home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely would book a weekend here home again! "
7368516,52943333,2015-11-02,47717122,Alison,Christina's home is wonderful! It is the perfect place for a small group of friends. We went on a spur of the moment girls trip here and had a blast. The beds were so comfortable and there was plenty of bathroom space (important) :) ! The house is just a quick 5-10 min drive from many of Austin's attractions. We really enjoyed the free Lyft and Uber discounts! Definitely recommend! 
7368516,53051824,2015-11-04,27165410,Lucas,Beautiful clean and new house.  Area is in the middle of gentrification.  Several good restaurants and bars within walking distance of the house.  Christina was a great host.
7368516,53233217,2015-11-06,39966220,Mark,Really enjoyed our stay here. House was extremely clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back!
828552,3779373,2013-03-14,4390275,Jeremy,Great accommodations.  Terrance was very responsive and followed through on all commitments.  Would not hesitate to rent from Terrance in the future.  
1954417,9277287,2013-12-17,3287178,Raul,"Excelente lugar cuando se está de visita en Austin, ya sea por estudios o eventos. El vecindario es tranquilo y es de fácil acceso, muy cerca de la I-35 y de paradas de bus hacia UT o al downtown, a los cuales se puede acceder también por bicicleta."
1954417,9417406,2013-12-27,6546578,Mark,"This was my third stay with Theresa...need I say more?  She is wonderful to interact with; it was a breeze.  Theresa has a great house, with a great location and I had everything I needed for my two-night stay.  Once again, highly recommended..."
1954417,9474042,2013-12-30,10473591,Lyndsey,"My best friend and I needed a quick getaway, and we decided on a road trip to Austin, and Theresa's place was exactly what we were looking for. She has a very inviting personality and opened up her beautiful home to us. I definitely recommend her place to anyone looking for something ambient and cozy, and also for anyone who is looking for a host that respects privacy. It was a very refreshing stay and I'll definitely look into coming back!"
1954417,9807462,2014-01-11,9739062,Tanya,"Great place to stay in Austin!! I really liked it and even extended my stay. Theresa is a great host, very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying here."
1954417,9962483,2014-01-21,142776,Spencer,"I share Theresa's enthusiasm about me.  She's my new best friend in Austin!  What a great pad, too!  Super cool.  I liked the part of town it's in.  Very up and coming.  Great experience.  Two enthusiastic thumbs up!"
1954417,10124111,2014-02-01,2200715,Lauren,"Theresa was an outstanding host. Her home was lovely and clean and well-appointed. The bed was comfortable and the private bath was so nice. The bedroom (1 person) I was in had such wonderful light. It was a great place to work during the day. I am allergic to cats, but never had an issue with her furry friend. I will definitely direct any friends coming to Austin to stay with Theresa! "
1954417,10201040,2014-02-05,1263403,Luka,"Theresa is an absolute amazing woman, with great taste. She love to create a cosy and comfortable atmosphere, so you really can feel like home. She altough is very helpful, but can leave you alone if you need. What can I say, I loved Austin and my homebase at Theresas so much, that I stayed to days longer than planed.
I highly recommend this place!!!"
1954417,10226325,2014-02-07,1263403,Luka,"....and again, it was really cool to stay in theresas house, she even invited me to spend one evening with here. which was fun, ´cause we seperatly picked the same event for that night :-)))"
1954417,10328979,2014-02-13,6546578,Mark,"I have given up on counting how many times I have stayed with Theresa...need I say more? AirBnb needs a box that I can check that says ""this host and her delightful home are...awesome!"" or something like that. I'd check it! Highly recommended. Enjoy."
1954417,10347994,2014-02-15,11215902,Tessa,"This was my first booking with Airbnb and I'll certainly be using it for future travel lodging!

Theresa was all around a wonderful host, providing the perfect balance of welcome and privacy. The good communication prior to my arrival, along with the easy conversation during my visit, and the attention to detail (not only were my bed and bath perfectly tidied but there was a welcome note on the kitchen counter and wi-fi instructions awaiting me in my room) ensured a very relaxed and comfortable stay. 

Theresa's home is lovely and eclectic (the art! the books!) and the neighborhood is quiet and walkable, with a grocery store nearby and many Austin attractions within a short drive. I felt safe and slept like a baby.  

Theresa - It was a pleasure to meet you - thanks so much for your hospitality! "
1954417,10461277,2014-02-19,8156155,Mark,Theresa made me feel right at home as a newcomer to Austin! Her home is eclectic and nicely decorated. The single bed is very comfortable. Her place is in a quiet neighborhood and I got a great night's sleep. Everything is clean and her cat is charming. I especially enjoyed sitting on her front porch and reading in the evening. She is close to all the amenities of the Dell campus and neighborhood. I highly recommend Theresa and her home as a place to stay! 
1954417,10552434,2014-02-24,11138740,Skylar,"Theresa is such a great host and the place she offers is spectacular! I must confess that I was convinced to stay there out of the others hosts with great reviews simply because of her lamps. Yeah, I know, but I am really not joking. I figured if anyone has Buddha lamps, they cannot be half bad. Needless to say, I was right! The room I rented was the one with the twin bed. I immediately after arriving knew it was the correct decision because Theresa actually had one of the books written by my favorite teacher on the bookshelf in my room. 

The place has a retro style with a modern twist. Her cat, June, is quite the character and she will either take you or leave you. If you need a place to relax, I suggest the backyard on the hammock. She has created a pretty serene environment back there and it is one of the best places to sit and meditate.

Theresa provides a list of things to do and places you can go to during your stay in Austin. She is also one to check on on you and make sure that you don't need anything and that you are doing okay during your stay. She was unfortunately going on vacation as well when I visited so we did not get to talk much, but the little that I did get to talk to her, she was very friendly and attentive.

The only way this place could have been better is if I could have stayed longer!"
1954417,10646574,2014-03-01,6648547,Diana,"What can I say about Theresa, her lovely home, and adorable cat, June that hasn't already been said? It's all true! She has all the attributes you would expect in a host- warm, friendly, attentive, sophisticated, good conversationalist, and respectful of one's privacy. "
1954417,11155329,2014-03-23,701094,Kristin,"Theresa's place was perfect - a great launching pad from which to explore Austin, complete with charming kitty June. Clean, quiet, and comfortable. Theresa was welcoming and fun to talk to while providing plenty of space for privacy. I look forward to returning someday!"
1954417,11478796,2014-04-04,11019915,Nathan,I booked with Theresa and it was a great experience. The space was awesome and Theresa was a great host.
1954417,11690899,2014-04-12,2224829,Emma,"I had a wonderful time staying with Theresa. The place was exactly what I needed: A cosy, inviting little home that I could use as a base to explore Austin from. On a bit of a whirlwind trip around the US it was also a very peaceful escape, where I could read a book and relax. Theresa was very warm and welcoming and helped with any Austin questions I had. I definitely recommend her place as a home away from home to base yourself from in Austin.
 "
1954417,11769910,2014-04-14,13791245,Travis,"This was our first experience with airbnb. You can bet that we will use it again. Theresa made it seamless for us to come and go at our leisure. Although we did not cross paths that often, our experience with Theresa was very positive. The room was large, clean, and eclectic. Just as described. The location was great, and the neighborhood seemed very safe. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "
1954417,11906615,2014-04-18,6546578,Mark,"I have stayed with Theresa a number of times and for the same reason each time; her place is awesome! Oh, and she's a great host...

The bed is comfy and the nice & clean bathroom just down the hall.

Her home is located in a quiet neighborhood yet easily accessible from the Interstate and other major roads.

Highly recommended...enjoy!"

1954417,13993005,2014-06-09,16216353,Fred,"Theresa's home is very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located for exploring Austin.   The bedroom is just as it appears in the photo.  The home is equipped with an extensive library, which I also enjoyed.    Although I am allergic to cat dander, I had absolutely no reaction to her rather outspoken feline friend, which surprised me.   I tend to avoid cats but really had fun with this one.  The mid-century decor is fun, too.
Overall, the place was a great value.

1954417,14371542,2014-06-17,12475800,Melissa,"We had a great time at Theresa's place in Austin. Her home was so freakin cool and the neighborhood was quiet, safe, and close to downtown! Theresa was welcoming and super sweet and accommodating to our on-the-go schedule. Highly recommended. :]

1954417,15161252,2014-07-03,16909990,Magnus,"Had a great time in Austin at theresas place. I got a good, welcome, a very nice room and breakfast. It was nice to hang out for a bit with Theresa and her friends. They gave me a lot of good tips and were very helpful. Thank you for making my stay in Austin a great one!"
1954417,15382006,2014-07-07,2096396,Michelene & Farhan,"We booked a very last minute trip to Austin for the 4 of July wknd.  The hotels in Austin were ridiculously expensive so we decided to turn to Airbnb. We came across Theresa's profile and not only were we impressed by the pics, but the reviews were excellent as well.  Theresa was responsive, accommodating and knowledgable which added a level of comfort and ease to the entire process. Her home was absolutely fabulous.  A retro-chic, bohemian domicile with a effervescent hostess.  Our all white guest room set a peaceful tone for a halcyon sleep and our bathroom smelled of foreign flowers.   We wished we could have taken advantage of the hammock and relax in her perfectly manicured garden. We found our home away from home.  Thank You Theresa!!! - The Maliks "
1954417,18097360,2014-08-21,20117830,Adam,"Theresa is one of the most gracious and capable people I have ever met.  She took me in when I was just learning how to use the AirBnB system, and made me feel welcome despite my clumsy use of the service.  She has a beautiful house, and the guest room feels like home.  Plus, she has tons of cool books!"
1954417,18686937,2014-08-30,13567140,Priya,Theresa's place was wonderful - a very enchanting house - quite neat and clean and relaxing. Theresa was a wonderful host - I particularly liked that I had a private restroom. I had a lovely time staying here.
1954417,18850912,2014-09-01,3394730,Adrienne,"Theresa's home was beautiful, clean and very comfortable. We did not see Theresa during the weekend, but felt extremely welcome with all the small touches she made to make our stay relaxing. It was the perfect spot for me and my boyfriend to stay while I was playing shows in Austin. Much more comfortable than a generic hotel room. We would definitely come back here our next visit to Austin!"
1954417,19101826,2014-09-06,7307365,Jerry,"Theresa's inviting home is very tastefully furnished and well-kept! There's a lot of great mid-century furniture and it looks exactly as pictured. It's stylish, comfortable, and in a very conveniently located neighborhood.

Theresa was very welcoming - she invited me to partake of the fruit, granola, yogurt, coffee and tea at breakfast. Clean bath towels were provided. Despite my pronounced allergy to cats, I did not have any kind of adverse reaction to Theresa's cat, a testament to how clean the house is kept. Her communication was great throughout and I would absolutely stay at this place again!"
1954417,19394939,2014-09-11,16110815,Lana,Theresa really saved me from being put out when my apartment was undergoing renovations. I was so glad to have a place to come home to and a friendly face and cat. The space is cool and I definitely picked up some decorating tips. I slept better here than I do in my own bed! Love the neighborhood; took several walks around and was nice to see others doing the same. Thanks!
1954417,19616046,2014-09-15,3597927,Angela,"Perfect place for my stay in Austin.  Felt right at home here.  Theresa provides a clean, quiet and comfortable place to explore the city from."
1954417,19822847,2014-09-19,6741799,Ellen,"Theresa is a lovely host and her comfortable home, and in a city with so much traffic congestion, her house is a convenient drive to and from the airport.  I appreciated her attention to little details (lovely, healthy food and great coffee for breakfast).  I definitely recommend the stay!"
1954417,19939417,2014-09-21,14990033,Lauren,"Theresa's space is just lovely in every way. The bedroom we stayed in is charming, clean, and full of light. I had an incredibly restful sleep both nights on a perfect mattress with very cozy linens. The entire house is beautifully appointed with thoughtful details everywhere. The kitchen was especially nice, with an aeropress and other tea implements that made our stay relaxing and welcoming from morning to night. Loved the granola Theresa left for us, too--it was so delicious! Theresa is an amazing hostess who made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the moment we made our reservation. And June the cat is generous with her love but definitely stays out of the guests' way, in case you were wondering. We were fast friends and I'll miss her! This was the best airbnb experience I've had by far, hope I have a reason to return to Austin! Thank you Theresa! "
1954417,20175490,2014-09-24,7650067,Christine,"Clean, cozy and conveniently located, would definitely stay here again!"
1954417,21918819,2014-10-26,22661657,Eric,"Theresa is a very kind and hospitable host. She not only offered suggestions of things to do in Austin, but also offered me a movie ticket she couldn't use. The room was very comfortable and most of the time I was unaware if Theresa or the other guest were there.

The property was quiet and about a $20 uber ride from Downtown Austin. "
1954417,22127807,2014-10-30,22506947,Lisa,"We had such a great time in Austin. Theresa was so welcoming and friendly. Great space to stay in. A great, friendly neighborhood. Convenient for getting in to town and Theresa was happy to help in any way she could. I would definitely recommend her place."
1954417,22777175,2014-11-14,18945386,Olen,"Theresa is an amazing hostess. She knows her town and is an unflinching advocate for Austin.
The room is *exactly* as pictured except it's probably cleaner than you have a right to expect; her attention to detail is above reproach.
The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is (super) clean with great water pressure and not overly-soft water.
Theresa is someone that you might aspire to have as a friend - worldly, well-spoken, current and welcoming. She has a lovely (indoor) cat that didn't trigger my allergies at all.
If ever you find yourself looking for lodging in the near north of Austin you'd be fortunate to find this location available."
1954417,23655448,2014-12-07,24107187,Pape Malick (Geelwaar),"Theresa was absolutely wonderful during my stay. She was warm and welcoming in more ways than I could have imagined, and I can't express enough gratitude for her hospitality. "
1954417,23932928,2014-12-14,15132737,Elizabeth,"Theresa was an amazing host. She is thoughtful and accommodating.  The location is located close to cool cafes, restaurants, and neat shops.  

Her house is clean and nicely decorated. I felt like I was transported to a countryside villa in France. "
1954417,24983509,2015-01-04,3752331,Agus,I stayed at Theresa's during a short trip to Austin. It was a great experience. Sometimes doing airbnb vs hostels has the downside that it's harder to meet new people and get recommendations. Theresa provided both! Plus awesome conversation! The house is full of thoughtful tiny details that makes it seem like everything has a story behind. Thanks for everything!! 
1954417,25621898,2015-01-20,2506509,Nancy Glenn,"Theresa is gracious and attentive in her delightful and comfortable home, just what I anticipated!"
1954417,26551986,2015-02-15,1653417,Abhishek Neha,Theresa is one of the nicest people I have met while travelling. My daughter loved her garden. Theresa shared organic oranges with us which were delicious. She was very accommodating towards our late arrival too. The listing is accurate and the bed is very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.
1954417,26954722,2015-02-22,27700539,Chris,"Theresa was an incredible host.  Friendly, helpful, and a great fan of Austin which only increased my enjoyment of the city. My room was perfect - quiet, clean, comfortable bed - and the house in general was nice and private. Thanks Theresa!"
1954417,27541744,2015-03-07,7240339,Anna-Lena,"I had a great time with Theresa! I stayed at her place for almost two weeks and I had a wonderful time. Theresa was very helpful with a lot of things and at the same time gave me a lot of privacy. 
I loved my room because the windows allowed lots of natural light. The walk to the bus station is ok, gave me the necessary doses of fresh air before heading to UT. 
The neighborhood is nice, quiet and you'll find some great artsy stuff in the front gardens :) 
Be it for long or short time trips, I can only warmly recommend Theresa and her beautiful place and I'll miss being around there for sure :)"
1954417,28966697,2015-04-01,29847968,Romain,"Theresa was Very kind, nice place ! Near bus station, great district, nice and quiet. 
The bedroom was perfect. "
1954417,29475007,2015-04-07,17272943,Ophelia,"I honestly can't say enough about lovely Theresa and her beautiful home! She was very welcoming, relaxed, friendly and very accommodating - good area, leafy and quiet. Amazing house, mid century dream complete with sprawling lawn. The guest room was perfect, great light, spacious and super nice linen. If I lived in Austin this is where I'd be. 5 stars! "
1954417,30150664,2015-04-18,23988588,Mary,"My husband and I loved staying at Theresa's place! Her home was lovely, comfortable with lots of charm! Loved the clean, white linens. The neighborhood is eclectic and full of cute little houses. Short drive to downtown. Theresa was a great host and checked on us throughout our stay, but gave us plenty of privacy. Highly recommend for your visit to Austin! "
1954417,30408356,2015-04-21,439130,Edouard,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Theresa's place for 3 nights. On top of being the absolute, perfect host (welcoming, helpful and discrete), Theresa has a profound appreciation for mid-century décor which we love. Her home, which will take you back in time, is ideally located in a quaint neighborhood with plenty of trees and shade. Just a rock’s throw away from the interstate, you can easily access all parts of central Austin only to retreat in the evening to Theresa’s humble and quiet abode.
We highly recommend Theresa if you are sensitive to the preservation of mid-century décor and architecture and seeking some peace and quiet during your stay in Austin."
1954417,30627786,2015-04-25,15157078,Sigrid,"This was my first airbnb experience and Theresa made me feel welcome even before I arrived. She is an excellent host, quickly returned my emails and provided me with useful insider information about sight seeing when I got there. 
I really enjoyed staying at Theresa's fabulous retro bungalow. The place fully matched the online description and was impressively clean and neat. Nice neighborhood, too.  Though Austin is not geared towards pedestrians, I was able to walk to several shops and restaurants within 20 minutes.
"
1954417,30831591,2015-04-27,2990748,Idris,"Theresa's place was very clean and had a lot of charm. The block and the house are quiet and peaceful and I discovered a hammock out back which was a nice surprise. Although we did not meet in person, Theresa stayed in touch to make sure I was set and had everything I needed. I also enjoyed discovering all of the little pieces of artwork around the house. Made things interesting. "
1954417,31834687,2015-05-10,5777846,Will,Theresa is a fantastic host with a beautiful home in a great area. I immediately felt right at home. I also loved the decorations and furniture. Thanks for the great hospitality Theresa!
1954417,32150641,2015-05-14,19989939,Ty,"This was the best experience one could have asked for. Impeccable personal space and home. Even better owner and conversations, and hospitality."
1954417,32999181,2015-05-24,29611105,Niamh,"My cousin and I had the best stay at Theresa's place. Theresa is so friendly and makes you feel at home. Location is great too, not too far from downtown and easy walk to supermarket. This was my first airbnb experience and couldn't of went any better. "
1954417,34535198,2015-06-09,30816348,Alexis,"I truly couldn't have had a more perfect stay here in Austin. Theresa's home was a beautifully creative place to hang my hat after a day of exploring the city. Clean, quiet, comfortable--and I had everything I needed. Should Austin invite me her way again, the first thing I'll do is see if this space is available. Thank you so much!"
1954417,39116727,2015-07-20,36904729,Shari,"Although she wasn't there Theresa made me feel instantly welcome. She provided some snacks for me for breakfast and funny, yet on point instructions for where to park and getting in and out of the house. She was easily accessible via text and the location of the house is in a very quiet, safe neighborhood with easy access to groceries, restaurants, and highways. 

She has a lot of decorations throughout the house, but it doesn't look cluttered just meant for plenty of entertainment while I was there.  I would highly recommend staying here. It was an incredibly relaxing place to be after busy days."
1954417,40383690,2015-07-30,3715182,Randy,"Theresa's house is the perfect place to stay!  It's stylish, comfortable, plenty of books to read, and so quiet I couldnt even tell if anybody else was in the house most of the time!  Theresa was very friendly, and thought of every detail to make her home inviting.  I would stay there again for sure"
1954417,41878886,2015-08-09,5184408,Megan,"Had such a nice time staying at Theresa's. Very comfortable and calm space. And Theresa was so welcoming and helpful when describing local places to grab coffee, go for walks and also giving directions. Loved staying here and would definitely recommend to others!"
1954417,44378736,2015-08-25,19989939,Ty,"As always, Theresa is the best host possible. This was my second time to stay here as after finding such a great place, I had no need to search for another. "
1954417,45593133,2015-09-04,4009980,Gary,Theresa welcome us into the family of Airbnb hosts.
1954417,47770005,2015-09-21,40035090,Roberta,"Theresa was a great host and her space was just as described. Very bright and comfortable. The house is on a quiet street and central to all the major austin neighborhoods - you're less than 10 minutes from everything!
Theresa provided wifi access and her own guidebook, which was very useful. I stayed for a few days, so having a list of all the recommended attractions was great. I like to cook when I travel for more than a day or two and Theresa's kitchen was very accessible and well-stocked.
No complaints at all. Absolutely perfect first airbnb experience!"
1954417,50472149,2015-10-12,38289497,Karen,We had a great trip and thoroughly enjoyed Theresa's home. It was so cool and filled with treasures
1954417,51214528,2015-10-18,11373577,Spence,"It started with a series of text messages helping to ease me into my first Airbnb experience. Everything including instructions were laid out and very easy to follow. I arrived at her home before she returned from work and found a clean welcoming place that looked exactly as advertised. When Theresa made it home and we met, I knew I made a good call. Two hours after that first hello, we wrapped up our conversation after solving most of the problems of Austin and the rest of the world. It was obvious she had this Airbnb hosting down - great guidebook, fast wifi, the fridge with things for me, an immaculate guest room and a bathroom with all the necessities. I travel to Austin regularly but we swapped new places to go and to eat for both of us. The entire weekend, Theresa made what could have been an uncomfortable situation for a 50-something traveler into a fun and different experience - one I wouldn't hesitate doing again. "
1954417,52534569,2015-10-30,25520031,Melbs,"I cannot say enough good things about this place, and Theresa!

First off, Theresa is engaging, great to be around, and was an exceptional host.
Secondly, the place was very clean, with a warm environment that's quite comfortable. Will definitely stay here again!

"
1954417,52902522,2015-11-02,44430461,David,"Theresa has set up a space that is very comfortable for guests. The house is charming, the bedroom was nice, the bathroom was well-stocked, and the kitchen was set up for anything I needed - coffee, tea, toast, yogurt, and space in the fridge. She sent me clear instructions on how to get in and out of the house and find what I needed. I would definitely stay again!"
1578787,10912231,2014-03-12,98406,Matt,"For an absolute last minute snag before SXSW, Andrew's rustic cottage great. It's hilariously hipster (with a Donald Duck 1960's suitcase record player) and situated directly across the street from all the South-by-excitement. The house was quite cold when the temps dropped down to lower than anybody expected them to be, but as a jumping off point for exploring Austin and attending every session and party possible, it fit the bill just right. "
1274816,5591495,2013-07-07,7168990,Ben,"A simple, cozy cottage in a GREAT location. In a quiet neighborhood next to a tiny public park, the house is within walking distance to the awesome patio at Winflo Osteria and the flagship Whole Foods store and a $10 max taxi ride to pretty much anywhere you would want to go in Austin. For my wife and I, the house was basically a place to keep our stuff, shower and sleep at night, so the minimal amenities, great price and location were perfect for our visit."
1274816,10890787,2014-03-11,6049378,Ranah,"The place was exactly as billed (a good thing!) and the hosts were very nice in making sure I was able to get into the place ok, that I had clean towels and sheets, and that I could access their wifi network properly.  They also left some breakfast goodies for me which was an unexpected surprise that made me feel even that much more at home.  "
1274816,50577254,2015-10-12,45869239,Maggie,"Great location in central Austin close to a nice park. The place is very cute and kept up well. Marcella was very accommodating, sweet, and understanding! Can't say anything negative!"
5970668,31388020,2015-05-04,31885693,Nicole,"Daniel and Clay were amazing! My two girlfriends and I had the time of our lives in Austin - all thanks to our hosts! I can't say enough good things about them and their apartment. We felt so welcomed and right at home. The apartment complex was right across the river from downtown and we walked along the boardwalk to get there. They even left us a gift basket of goodies (which was updated daily). Supplied us with fresh towels, sheets and an air mattress. We had plenty of room and privacy. The apartment was so clean and professional. Because of our experience here, we will never stay anywhere else. It was better than a hotel BY FAR! I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for a comfortable and fun place to stay. Three girls from New York City in their mid-twenties couldn't have been more pleased with our stay and our hosts!  They also took us to the best diner I've ever eaten at. The pool was our favorite part! We felt really safe and secure in the apartment, the complex and the neighborhood. It was worth every penny. Like I said, I can't find a single bad thing to say. I travel a lot and I've stayed in many places. I trend to always find something to complain about but I have nothing bad to say here. Our stay and our hosts were nothing short of amazing! We will be back! "
5970668,31623722,2015-05-07,25743532,Isis,"Awesome hosts - sweet, nice, cool, chill, and welcoming. Very clean and modern room - EXACTLY like what they show on the listing page. Great, safe, and quite neighborhood - got Walgreen, Sbux, AT&T, a huge park and restaurants. Overall is definitely a 6/5 star experience. Highly recommend! "
5970668,31686865,2015-05-08,1717719,James,"Daniel was an excellent host!  The apartment building is a modern complex, in a safe neighborhood by the river and the flat itself is larger than it looks in the photos, actually.  It was very clean, tidy and had a huge tv with cable and stuff, if that's important to anyone.  Daniel was a sweetheart and even had snacks waiting for us in the room.  I'm really glad that we snapped up this listing and I recommend anyone else headed to Austin do the same before he comes to his senses and raises the rate a bit.  It's, without a doubt, the best deal on the site!"
5970668,31851873,2015-05-10,18874008,Stephen,"Daniel was a great host! He was there if we needed anything and offered us full use of his kitchen. The location is great, and his bed is very comfortable. It was very quiet as well. A+"
5970668,32803711,2015-05-21,32756520,Helen,The host canceled this reservation 141 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

5970668,39641499,2015-07-25,22923118,Michael,"Very nice apartment with an excellent host. Room was comfortable with great AC, a must in Summertime Austin. Easy in and out for the city. "
5970668,39883208,2015-07-26,28756304,Kleber,"The apartment is fantastic. It was close to just about everything. Daniel was very helpful, he answered every message fast, and I even booked it on short notice. The place is also very nicely decorated, and he is a very nice host. I'd book this place anytime, and I'd recommend Daniel go anyone."
5970668,40535207,2015-07-31,9055628,Michaela,Staying with Daniel was really nice and welcoming. Nice room! I liked especially that I had my own bathroom. Perfect location and its close to a bus stop if you want to use public transportation. I would  definitely recommend this place and I would  definitely stay  there again.
5970668,41841356,2015-08-09,39397686,April,Daniel was an awesome host! He provided his kitchen and the room was very comfy. The pool was also a nice touch for this hot summer. His apartment was also conveniently located near downtown and the river so there were plenty of things to do and enjoy.   
5970668,42241314,2015-08-11,26594950,Ambyr,Daniel was an awesome host and my first Air BnB experience. His apartment was very nice and the room was very clean. He also provided linen. The location of the apartment to downtown Austin is unbeatable!!!!
5970668,42368675,2015-08-12,37127860,Amanda,"Daniel was communicative, social, and a perfect host.  His apartment was filled with styled decor and furnishings, and he offered up whatever he had in his fridge, from food to beverages.  We were exhausted and needed a quiet place to crash before an early flight, and his place was just that. I'd recommend this spot, especially for two people or single girls!"
5970668,43011981,2015-08-16,39974087,Eli,Daniel's apartment was very clean and in a great location. The bed was comfortable extremely comfortable as well. I really enjoyed my stay.
5970668,43570859,2015-08-20,11276357,Michael,"Good location, very clean and new apartment (also very large private bathroom).  Easy to check in and had no issues with my stay. "
5970668,43813338,2015-08-22,28419925,Linda,"I absolutely loved Daniel's apartment. It was clean, quiet, and conveniently located to everything my girls and I wanted to do. I can't wait to visit Austin again and will most definitely choose to stay at Daniel's! "
5970668,44088077,2015-08-23,10768221,Mok,Daniel is very nice. The place is beautiful and luxury. It's just a perfect place. Thank you for your hosptality
5970668,45434048,2015-09-02,38199393,David,"I do not exaggerate when I say the location and place are both perfect! Daniel was very kind, helpful and I had no trouble communicating with him. His place is well kept, clean, and safe. If the opportunity ever comes up again I will definitely want to stay at Daniel's place again! "
5970668,46182233,2015-09-08,41332350,Juan,"Daniels place was perfect, the room was clean with  a private bathroom. Right by the lake and only a five minute drive into downtown. This was the perfect spot to stay while in Austin. Daniel was really nice, informative and gave us some great suggestions on things we should do. We will definitely choose Daniels place over and over again. "
5970668,46569303,2015-09-11,6762667,Travis,"Daniel was super accommodating. The place was clean, spacious, quiet, just perfect. "
5970668,47288716,2015-09-17,30872012,James Key,Super host and location. Condo complex is so new and clean. And close to downtown with easy access. All you need within walking distance too! Thanks Daniel. 
5970668,47439514,2015-09-18,373291,Andrew,"Great location!  Beautiful home.    The nicest Airbnb I've ever stayed in for sure!

Thank you."
5970668,48167960,2015-09-24,10576115,Elizabeth,"Beautiful, clean, cozy place, kind host... Thanks Daniel!"
5970668,48898661,2015-09-29,41655457,Abbey Majczan,Daniel was great.  He worked with us to make sure a check in time was convenient and his apartment was very clean.  He let us put some things in the fridge and truly let us make ourselves at home.  I would absolutely recommend him.
5970668,49464477,2015-10-04,2220593,Euni,"We had such an amazing time here!  Excellent location, communication, and amenities. The host was out of town but we had everything we needed and enjoyed having the place to ourselves.  Definitely plan to be back.  Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
5970668,49953572,2015-10-07,45402043,Mark,"Incredible! The whole experience was seamless. Daniel was very nice and responsive to my text messages. His apartment is immaculate and has more features than I could have hoped for... The view looks directly at the river and downtown was very close.

I even used the business center and enjoyed the pool lounge area which had a very cool modern decor. "
5970668,51040856,2015-10-17,5340318,Carmela,"Daniel and Clayton were wonderful and the apartment is very well appointed and close to everything in Austin.  The bedroom even has views of the capitol!  You wouldn't even know that there are dogs in the house because they are so well behaved and sweet. Parking is very convenient, you can either use the garage or there is almost always room on the street in front of the building.  We were there for a week and never heard the neighbors. It is a young, hip neighborhood with plenty to do -- there is a park across the street, and the building is practically on top of the bike trail.  "
5970668,51681742,2015-10-22,47022470,David,Great place. Very nice. Would definitely stay there again. 
2378661,11162964,2014-03-23,4867515,Brian,"This was an excellent place, a great location, and very friendly and helpful hosts.  I hope to stay there again."
2378661,12313411,2014-04-28,12453670,Trace,"We had a wonderful stay at this airbnb in Austin.  The place is really cute, clean and well decorated.  Wendy went out of her way to make the place comfortable for us and our 16 month old daughter, providing a pack n' play, changing table, inflatable tub, and even some toys!  It was perfect for us and I'm sure we'll be going back.  "
2378661,12641405,2014-05-06,14753910,Aaron,"We had a great stay in Austin. Wendy was an excellent host. The apartment was just as advertised- spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and she left plenty of snacks for us as well as other supplies. She also provided maps of things to do in Austin and when the cab was late to take one of us to the airport, her husband graciously offered to drive. The location provides easy access to downtown as well as the parks and running trails in the area.  It is also a very quiet and tranquil neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again if we return to Austin."
2378661,12988932,2014-05-16,2573479,Mark,"One of my best AirBnB experiences, and I will look to stay here again when next in Austin.

You can't beat the location. Close to cute Clarksville downtown, but walking distance to major shopping (holy Whole Foods!), and to downtown. 

Their place is super clean and spacious. The access is private, and the backyard is great to hangout and relax in. 

Incredibly gracious hosts, who were very flexible and communicative. Just professional all the way through, and really made my stay in Austin enjoyable. "
2378661,21141852,2014-10-12,2573479,Mark,"Another great experience at Wendy's place in Austin.  The location is incredible, and I love how neat and tidy they keep it.  The waters and beers in the fridge are a GREAT welcoming gift as well.

I was a little worried about fitting us and another couple, but it worked out perfectly, and made for a great home base for our ACL weekend.  "
2378661,22110263,2014-10-30,89175,Cynthia,"Wendy’s apartment was nicely appointed, had everything we needed, and is one of our best Airbnb experiences. Wendy has exquisite taste and the apartment is beautifully decorated. The apartment was very clean, the kitchen had everything to cook a meal, and the home was quiet at night. The backyard is beautifully done and was wonderful to wake up to in the morning. We were very comfortable and the location was convenient to so many different areas of Austin. Wendy is a lovely person and gave us a list of restaurants and attractions prior to our stay. We hardly saw her or her husband but Wendy was available by text if we needed anything. We really appreciated Wendy’s thoughtful attention to detail: two sets of keys on key chains, full tour of the apartment upon arrival, written guide for our stay with WiFi password, healthy snacks, a couple of beers and sparkling water in the fridge, variety of shampoo, shower gel, soap and fluffy towels in the bathroom, and comfortable bed with nice linens and pillows. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the apartment. Thank you Wendy for a wonderful experience!"
2378661,28198959,2015-03-20,16096888,Dan,I had a great stay - it's a private space in a lovely and relaxed neighbourhood close to downtown. The hosts are very helpful and friendly - would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
2378661,30221001,2015-04-19,29467111,Stephen,We had a wonderful time during this trip!  Wendy and her husband were very accommodating and friendly.  The space itself was very comfortable and quiet.  Easy access to downtown Austin.  Great hospitality!
2378661,31796942,2015-05-10,216382,Amanda,Perfect little rental. All of the linens and amenities were well above average. Private and quiet.  Thank you!
2378661,49482959,2015-10-04,43426478,Megan,My friends and I had a great experience! Wendy was so nice and was available by text if we needed her or had questions. The apartment was great. It had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the back porch enjoying the weather and each other's company. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you Wendy!
2502263,10810129,2014-03-08,148704,Lizi,"Staying with Jordan was adequate for the SXSW festival. It's a low budget option, run as a business. "
2502263,11161767,2014-03-23,12799857,Juan,"I really enjoyed my time in the Novasota house! It was clean and had great amenities. Even though I was unable to meet up with Juliet, she was very accommodating and prompt in responding to any questions I had via text/email. This was my first airbnb experience and I can honestly say it was wonderful! The house was conveniently located, 20 minute walk to downtown, very comfortable full size bed and a clean bathroom and kitchen area. Will definitely look to book with Juliet again if I am lucky enough to come back to wonderful Austin in the future!"
2502263,11336719,2014-03-30,5460535,Holly,Really great neighborhood & location--walkable & great food around the area. Juliet was great & followed up super quick with any questions. Really lovely other people staying in nearby spaces that turned into quick friends. Thanks for awesome stay! We will be back!
2502263,11422582,2014-04-01,13582814,Sierra,"Juliet was super nice and very eager to share travel tips and recommendations! The home was in walking distance to many great bars and restaurants, and wasn't too far from downtown. We didnt realize when booking that the house would be shared ONLY by other airbnb'ers, but it ended up having a casual, hostel-like vibe and felt rather private. "
2502263,11527402,2014-04-06,13728439,Tom,"Oh fairest Juliet!

This was my first time using this side of Air Bnb... And what a wonderful place to stay it was. Juliet was extremely fast to respond to my initial and subsequent questions about the house, she provided a directions to, instructions and recommendations about the property, the surrounding areas and everything in between. 

And!!!! she did it all with a sweet and calm voice that sounded genuinely interested and invested in her guests. She is a WINNER!

So the house is very cute. 3 bedrooms for rent, with a nice set up of brand new sheets, comforters, towels and huge comfortable beds. The kitchen is available to cook / or drink as if you were in your own house. 

Free WIFI !

I didn't get to see the inside of the trailer, but it added a very cool touch to the whole set up.

All in all I had a fantastic time in Austin and it was 100 percent due to where I stayed and the people I met while I was there. 

So here is to Juliet ! My first Air BnB host. Ill never forget you.


"
2502263,11602774,2014-04-08,4534873,Natalie,"Cute place walking distance to everything, clean and responsive host! Very simple but great for the price. You probably will be sharing the apartment with other travelers. "
2502263,11809129,2014-04-15,9807229,Julianna,"We had a great time staying at the BnB! The place was clean and comfortable and well-kept and Juliet was very friendly and accommodating. The location was great too; we were able to walk to several dinner locations, some really cool night life, and stopped by the Wright brother's Brew and Brew every morning for coffee and every night for some good beers. We got to know some of the other guests staying at the house too, which was nice. The neighborhood is quiet but has good night life not too far. We were really happy with our stay and will definitely try to stop over again next time we are in Austin. Thanks Juliet for a great stay!"
2502263,11879052,2014-04-17,13857931,Jeff,The room and location were stellar. There are so many nearby spots -- La Barbecue makes some insanely good bbq. The accommodations were clean and quiet.  Juliet's response time is as advertised.  There's no reason not to stay here. I plan to do it again.
2502263,12141918,2014-04-23,12190311,Lara,My best friend and I stayed one night at Juliet's B&B. We stayed in room #1. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Juliet's B&B is also very well located and easy to park if you have a car.
2502263,12247849,2014-04-27,1110737,Santiago,"Julia's place is located in a great area, close to downtown Austin and in a quiet neighbourhood. I did not meet her personally, but she was extremely nice on the phone and everything was ready when I got in to her place. My room (No. 1) was nice and spacious, and very clean. The kitchen is fully functional and with 2 other rooms plus the RV outside you get to meet  the orher people who are staying there. All in all a great place in Austin."
2502263,16962463,2014-08-04,11131173,Leah,"I did not personally meet the host but she was very helpful. Room just as described, basic and clean.  Great location!"
2502263,17732604,2014-08-16,5857534,Shaun,"Wonderful host. The setup is just brilliant and very slick. 
Some nice bonus treats in the fridge too :)"
2502263,18220384,2014-08-23,16373333,Michael,"This is a great place for the money. Julia is on-point with communication and the place is very clean and comfortable. Pros are ease of access, price, bedroom size and bed comfort. The ONLY con was the A/C in the bedroom. It was 99 degrees and the AC from the common space didn't circulate well into the bedroom so I woke up a bit hot. That is my nitpick though (its late august so it was pretty toasty outside). For one night it worked out very nicely for me and is a steal for the area. I thought it wasn't that close to the 6th st area bars Touristy bars (30+ min walk), but its a better location to the higher end clubs-part of 6th and RAINEY ST! Rainey St was amazing. Will definitely stay here again. Thanks Julia!"
2502263,18700621,2014-08-30,1799059,Dave,"Julia was a great host! I stayed in both the Airstream trailer and one of the rooms in the house. The house is very comfortable and well air-conditioned. The room was simple but well decorated. Most importantly, the house is in a great location, within walking distance of downtown and the hike and bike trail. Definitely a great value!"
2502263,18713157,2014-08-31,16431197,Jack,Was given the access codes.  There was a load music well into the morning. Had to ask for another towel.
2502263,18868533,2014-09-01,2316395,Ann,"found myself in a bind and julia really saved the day! turnkey booking, super responsive, friendly and flexible. cute and tidy home, in an unbeatable location!"
2502263,19100142,2014-09-06,3780050,Jim,julia's place was well priced...communication was fantastic!  If your lookin for a bare-boned room at a fair price...Julia's place works. The location is not what I would consider downtown but it is a short bus ride { the #17 }. Room was clean and bed was satisfactory. Would recommend Julia's place if ya just need a room and little else at a good price. Jim
2502263,19354324,2014-09-10,21082984,Jared,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2502263,19559954,2014-09-14,20825565,Katharine,Cute little house convenient to downtown.  The bus stop is right on the corner.  Clean and tidy.  Free wifi.  Bathroom is shared with several other rooms and it is small.   Each bedroom has a lock with a passcode.  Never met the hostess but she responded to my communications timely.  
2502263,19756406,2014-09-17,21185083,Lynn,"Here are a couple things about the house...
1.  there was a 1"" gap from floor to door slab letting in the bugs and misquotes. 
2.  There were specs and some kind of dirt on the sheets. 
3.  There was no way to take a shower and be assured no one would walk in as the door didn't have a working lock. 
4.  there was significant traffic in the middle of the night including loud banging and doors shutting loudly.  It was at least for an hour and a half and included the three o'clock hour.

All in all, the conditions were unclean, awkward, unsafe and did not allow for any way to rest or feel as if it was OK to leave the room except if necessary, even to use the kitchen or bathroom.
"
2502263,20805490,2014-10-05,22058985,Andy,"We were welcomed when we got to the place. Then pretty much left alone for the rest of the weekend. It was really easy getting to/from Downtown, Soco, and all of the other Austin hotspots."
2502263,21067853,2014-10-10,3677422,Jewel,"The booking was quick and simple. Julie and Sarah were very responsive and our room was all it was promised to be, save for the color of the walls. Expectations were clear and met and we enjoyed having a place walkable to downtown."
2502263,21272338,2014-10-13,11814540,John,"I was very impressed. Firstly by the speed, attitude, and relevance of Julia's communications - never had such prompt feedback on airbnb before! Secondly by the accommodation and location. Room was spacious, clean and  comfortable with good AC, common area was well laid out, all directions clear - and a fridge fully stocked with goodies (for a donation of course). The location is excellent. felt very safe, tons of free parking, and a few minutes to downtown. Julia will be my first call next time I need to stay over in Austin."
2502263,21410194,2014-10-16,11057008,Zak,Nice place. Spacious and clean. Easy to get to. About 20mins walk from downtown or 5min bus journey. Had a good experience.
2502263,21472969,2014-10-18,21379811,Nicole,"Great, cosy, easy place to stay!"
2502263,21552557,2014-10-19,7217753,Stuart,"A really lovely, simple space. The location was awesome, and it had a really nice friendly feel to it. Julia was responsive to our needs and the booking process was easy. Hassle free. I liked the ""keyless"" concept - one less thing to think about. I'd recommend Julia's space to my friends, and I'd go again!"
2502263,21696226,2014-10-21,21983853,David,"Everything worked out well. I never met the host but was given a code to the door. Everything was as expected. It's pretty basic but clean and ready to go. The house had several rooms rented out and isn't super sound proof so noise was a little bit of and issue, but nothing crazy."
2502263,21981539,2014-10-27,22385458,Jason,"I stayed at the location for about 5 days because I was attending a film festival. The neighborhood is very quiet and close to the downtown area of the festival. I saw lots of food trucks in the neighborhood and I could walk to the iHop for a late night meal. 

The bed is soft and the room is very warm. It comes with a blanket and two towels. The common area is nice, with beer in the fridge and wine available to purchase. The common area is also well air conditioned and very clean. 

When I had a problem with the lock, the owner came and helped me get back into my room. It's a great place to stay at a very affordable price. "
2502263,22260454,2014-11-02,722591,Ben,"The room was clean, the bed was super comfy, and we were able to come and go as we pleased. Great location in East Austin. And the parking was a major plus!"
2502263,22351876,2014-11-03,23127691,Lester,It was Okay
2502263,22422517,2014-11-05,22532972,Jason,Julia was very responsive. House was cute with easy check in. Very close to the food and fun the Austin is notorious for. Great stay! Thanks Julia! 
2502263,22489361,2014-11-08,21470151,Bonnie,"Simple, well-kept, older house right off of a main street in a semi sketchy-looking neighborhood, but no issues at all. Some homeless people are around, as in every major city. I think that's just how residential Austin looks. The nearby food trucks look similar, but have great reviews and the $1.50taco one is good!  I actually met a handful of people staying at neighboring Airbnbs walking around going to the same festival I was attending. The one house mate was one of them, so it worked out great to make a friend during my first Airbnb experience especially since I traveled solo!  It was easier & cheaper to not have a car, so I walked and only explored the downtown area (15min max to the convention center & Rainey Street), spending minimal time in the house. Sara was hospitable and informative, provided a space heater, & even allowed me to leave a few hours after check out, which was a huge help! Average-sized room with a closet, hangers, a small side table, full-length mirror, and towels. The bed was comfy, but the linens smelled like it was sitting in the washer for too long. The bathroom was clean and random toiletries were provided, like you're at a friend's place. The tub was squeaky, like I was going to break it by stepping on certain spots. I didn't really use the kitchen, but it was clean. No paper towels though. I felt safe with the keypad locked room, however the room is located next to the front door, so you will clearly hear when people walk in and out at all hours. I think it was a bit pricey for what it is overall, but there were 2 festivals going on that weekend. Good house and room for those who will be out all day/night enjoying Austin, only needing a place to sleep. It was a different yet positive first experience."
2502263,23027943,2014-11-20,9973231,Julia,"I stayed one night at Julia's. I got there late but was pleased to see that she had snacks and wine or beer to drink. Unfortunately, there was no wine opener. Still, the pretzels were appreciated. The room was beautiful. I had to hunt for a clean towel though, which I found. One person showed up and made coffee. Which I appreciated a lot. I would have liked it if the bathroom had been cleaner. Otherwise the neighborhood was cool and the bus stop right across the street. I only wish I had had more time to enjoy that part of Austin. "
2502263,23276970,2014-11-27,23680947,Jean-Pierre,Very comfy house close to the city! Convenient and reasonably priced. The did however create the impression that the house would be for ourselves - which was not the case.  But still a great Gem near the city centre
2502263,23472837,2014-12-01,20047076,Gabriela,Great location and comfortable house. Very satisfied :)
2502263,23519527,2014-12-02,7965728,Cassie,Staying at Julia's was great! The check in and check out was very convenient and her cute home is only about a 10min walk into downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
2502263,23739723,2014-12-08,737669,Dan,Julia was super accommodating of my last minute same day check in. The house was exactly as described and there were helpful hints for exploring Austin in a binder which I found very useful. The location was great for walking to downtown too. Definitely recommend. 
2502263,23886054,2014-12-13,19045591,Vjekoslav,"It was really pleasant stay and would definitely recommend it. Julia is great and flexible host, reacting prompt to any question via sms or phone – with great recommendations for easier transport and Austin highlights. The location is great for this price range - 10-15 min walk to the Downtown and in the pleasant area; The minor problem, which was absolutely not caused or could have been prevented by the host, was handled extremely professionally and promptly – even above expectations.

"
2502263,23933879,2014-12-14,19307931,Brian,"Very 'Austin' feel to the whole place. It wasn't the most luxurious place I have ever stayed, but I chose it for its value, as well as its location. Keep in mind there are multiple rooms that are all rented separately on here, so keep that in mind. Definitely has a 'hostel' vibe. When I went to sleep it was just me in the house and when I woke up there was a guy and his sister from Croatia on the couch. I love a good adventure!"
2502263,24098234,2014-12-19,904394,Andrea,"Did not meet Julia, but instructions were clear on how to access house and room within.  Sara, who manages house was helpful and friendly.  House was in line with what previous reviewers have said, so pretty much on par with the expectations (think hostel vs bed and breakfast or hotel).  Neighborhood has many delicious food trucks and location is close to East 6th with many bars and live music.  
This house in particular does not have central air so it was a bit damp and caused some breathing issues for my friend at night (I was fine, but just a heads up).  Because there was another booking after we arrived we actually relocated to a room in another house nearby (San Marcos Street) also managed by Julia/Sara which did have central air and was more comfortable for us both.  That said, there was no hot water (bursts of warm water while showering) although they were aware of this issue and working on it so it might be resolved by now.  
Overall, thanks to a strong wifi connection, I could message Julia/Sara with any needs we had and they were quick to respond as well as very flexible in terms of check-out times and long-term stay rates.  I would recommend staying here if you just need a place to crash and want to be close to the ""scene"" and lots of two-stepping! "
2502263,24169857,2014-12-21,24950396,Teodor,Me and my friend had an amazing stay at Julia's. Perfect location and good neighbourhood. Recommend this to anyone going to Austin. Thanks Julia!!! :)
2502263,24380745,2014-12-27,21127920,Samuel,"Good location because you can do almost everything by walk and the district is full of nice place for visiting, eating and drinking. 

The sheet and the room was clean. You can use free kitchen. 

But the bathroom wasn't very clean. 

And we never meet Julia....But she gave us all information what we needed by phone.

This place looks like more an hostel. So just a spot to crash, not for meeting real people."
2502263,24514486,2014-12-29,17763698,Elaine,"The location was perfect for us (we love hanging out in East Austin and the place is walkable to our favorite haunts).  The house and room were clean, the bed was comfortable.  You should know two things about the place:  1) there is one bathroom for three rooms and an Airstream so there can be quite a wait (particularly for showers as checkout time approaches); 2) there is little to no insulation so if you are there on a cold night (as we were) you will be COLD.  We were prepared for the first issue but not the second.  The space heater helped but I was literally shivering under all the covers, after we left the heater on high for 4 hours while we went out for dinner and drinks.  By then it was after 1 AM and there wasn't much that could be done other than shiver.  We left it on all night (despite the noise it made) and the room only got to 64 degrees by morning.  In the spring or the fall, this would probably be a great place to stay but I can't give it a good review (despite the great location and other good features) because we both slept poorly due to the cold and noise from the heater.  And that's the main reason you book a room... to sleep."
2502263,24556627,2014-12-30,11119669,Denise,"This little house was an easy overnight. Easy to find, easy to park and very tidy! Access was granted through key pads, one for the house and one for the room. I was able to find some eats and drinks within walking distance that were commendable and then settle in for a good night's sleep in the quiet little house. The room was a bit chilly and a midnight mishap where someone accessed my private room detracted from my overall rating. The management was baffled about how anyone had my code. No harm, but I might have been concerned had my stay lasted any longer.  "
2502263,25704018,2015-01-23,21226594,Valerie,"This is a super gr8 location! Perfect fit for our needs. The option to store luggage after checkout, was an added bonus. Thank you, Julia!"
2502263,25833257,2015-01-26,23542956,I Maria,"Although Julia wasnt there to welcome me in, I was able to get in fine and felt somewhat safe, even sleeping there as a woman. You get what you pay for, rooms are relatively clean, bathroom not so much and have to share, but acceptable. Cool coffee shop around the corner, Flat Track i think "
2502263,26146836,2015-02-04,26494060,Marshall,"What a great location, perfect for getting to explore downtown Austin without paying exorbitant hotel prices. A nice quite neighborhood close to all the happening locations. The house was decorated very well and also very well maintained. Thanks so much for making your house available! I'd highly recommend it to anyone coming to visit the area."
2502263,26308511,2015-02-09,11870755,Jeffrey,"My brother and I found it very easy to book the room here. WiFi was reliable and location to downtown was key. Overall though, the house itself is just ok. A little damp in the AM. Pretty basic with a small couch to chill at apt. A little bit pricey for what it is: a place to shower and sleep. Not sure I would stay here again."
2502263,26537733,2015-02-15,7153484,August,"Great place and value, simple and easy and right by downtown."
2502263,26965107,2015-02-22,11055156,Ian,Place was pretty expensive for what it was. Was pretty clean and basic. Location was within walking distance of sixth. 
2502263,27381547,2015-03-02,28413246,Kolby,"Great location, super comfy bed! All in all, a great first AirBnB experience for me! "
2502263,29248248,2015-04-05,30604058,Bhavuk,Clean and comfortable! Exactly what we needed for our time in Austin. 
2502263,30009884,2015-04-15,10770835,Marvin,"Fantastic spot in a great location in Austin!  We walked to Rainey St., the White horse and other cool places.  The bed was super comfortable and the house was very neat and clean.  I would definitely stay there again.  Thanks Julia!"
2502263,30115939,2015-04-17,30495253,Elley,"This is mostly just an expensive hostel. There are three rooms, each with a key pad lock. We chatted a bit with the other guests but aside from that there was no real sense of home or community. Also, on our second day we received a flyer from an activist group stating that these types of Air BnB houses are not actually legal. They claimed that Julia is working for a larger corporation that buys houses and remodels them to become Air Bnb houses, and since the owner doesn't live in the home, that's illegal. They also argued that the neighborhood is suffering because of it, and that old buildings and businesses are being torn down to build similar housing setups to this one. I'm personally inclined to believe their arguments, as I saw that Julia manages a bunch of different houses throughout the city, All in the same impersonal, business-oriented stay. We booked really last minute so we didn't have much choice, but in the future I won't stay in one of her rooms again. 

As for the house and the room itself, the room fine. The location is awesome and the room was clean, albeit with some strange, sparse decor. When we first got in the room smelled pretty strongly of feet and we eventually figured out that the sheets were really stinky of mildew. We got in touch with Julia and her friend Sara came over and gave us new ones. We also ran out of toilet paper and the bathroom was pretty dirty. Nothing was done about that during the two nights that I stayed there. All in all, they were responsive to our needs but it was a very sterile experience. "
2502263,31087674,2015-05-01,31815213,Kai,"Julia was super quick to respond to my request and sent me all the information I needed.  The place was easy to find and i was able to park right in front of the property.  The whole place was really clean and although I never used it the kitchen look half decent and there was also a kitchen table and a small sofa in the communal area.  The bathroom although a little dated was clean, lock on the door, plenty of toilet roll and most importantly had a hot and powerful shower.  My room was a decent size with a really comfortable double bed.  There was an air con machine which was a life saver for me and looked like a fan heater.  The location was great, felt safe and maybe a 20 min walk in to the heart of Austin with plenty to see along the way. Close enough to walk, far enough away to be quiet.  There are 3 bedrooms and an airstream but unfortunately I only got to meet a couple of others just as I was leaving.  As a lone traveller I would have welcomed a beer buddy.  Overall I was really impressed with Julia and her place.  I recommend staying here and will certainly look to stay here when I visit Austin again :-) 
Kai"
2502263,31280734,2015-05-03,25515447,Mandi,Everything was just as expected during our stay. The room was clean & the location was perfect. Julia was able to get us in immediately with only a few minutes notice. Overall we were pleased with our stay.
2502263,32439752,2015-05-17,13223461,Ammar,"It was my first experience to stay in a place with Airbnb, i spent two nights during the weekend "
2502263,32669489,2015-05-19,5964769,Margaret,"We were meet by Sarah, a friend of Julie's. She was very friendly and helpful. A great neighbourhood to be staying in."
2502263,33186852,2015-05-25,10355199,T,"There are three rooms and one bathroom. The host does not live on site. As other reviewers have said, it's basically a hostel, but even hostels have someone on site to make sure everything is okay. We had an issue with our code not working on our assigned room, but it did work on the room next to it. I got a call back about 15 minutes later from the host to resolve the issue, but it really made me feel uncomfortable at the thought of someone else having a code for our room."
2502263,34265584,2015-06-06,32197874,Rob,I loved my stay at Julia's! I was first in the downtown hostel which was very cramped and stuffy and and I reached out to Julia and she was very responsive. She helped me upgrade my room and was quick to reply every time. I didn't meet Julia in person but I did meet her assistant Sara who was very kind and helpful. The place is simple but is perfect for being close to 6th street and downtown. There are also fun bars and restaurants near by. The Bed was amazing and this was perfect for my situation. Thanks Julia!
2502263,34751352,2015-06-11,29483432,Harriet,"Someone was there to welcome me and show me around briefly, they told me all about what to do in the area and what's around.
The room was immaculately clean, the sheets felt so beautiful and fresh, the bed was beyond comfortable and the pillows were lovely.

The house was very clean, kitchen had anything you need. All in all it was a great price, the room was a nice big size and I had a lovely stay. GREAT location too!"
2502263,35861662,2015-06-22,13125276,Darby,"Clean, quiet, secure house!  Exactly what I needed and the location was awesome!"
2502263,36162213,2015-06-25,33993083,Eladio,The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. It was exactly what we needed for the night. The whole process was very easy.
2502263,36481051,2015-06-28,12892563,Rohit,"Great place, easy walking distance from downtown or a cheap $5 uber ride. As you can see from the other reviews it's more like a managed B&B than anyone's house.  But that worked great for me. Chris, the guy who would come in the late mornings and make sure the place was clean etc. was such a great guy! Super helpful and good company! It was nice to meet a few other travellers as well. Overall it was perfect for a weekend in Austin!"
2502263,37118829,2015-07-04,31995483,Brett,Fantastic location! Easy to walk or ride to most of the fantastic spots in Austin. It was easy to check in and out of this location. Also got some great recommendations on where to eat/catch live music. Overall it was a great stay!
2502263,40542964,2015-07-31,4209407,Andrew,"Great neighborhood within walking distance to at least one fantastic café, and Rainey Blvd for night time activity.  Place is simple and no thrills, just what I needed for a one-night stay!  Bed was comfortable and the place was air conditioned.   Downside is that it operates more like a hostel -- I was fortunate to be the only one there.  May have been strange if other two rooms had been occupied, but that also depends on personal preference.    "
2502263,40845501,2015-08-02,37363940,Alexandra,"The room is very nice, and the house was very clean. It's a nice place to stay for one night, but I don't know if I would stay longer, mostly because there's only one bathroom to share with all other guests in the house. The code to the front door didn't work when I arrived, and I waited about 45 minutes to get a response from someone with a new code so I could get in, which was frustrating. The person who finally responded was really friendly, and after that everything was fine.  Like I said, I'd recommend this place to stay for a night or two, if you don't mind sharing a bathroom."
2502263,41713438,2015-08-08,10167912,Danielle,"Our stay at Julia's was good. It was clean, comfortable, a great location, good value, and easy to access using the immediate booking and entry codes. Other airbnbers there were friendly too. If you're looking for a homey feel, however, we wouldn't really recommend this place. We thought it was more of a place to just sleep, there isn't much space in the living room to sit and relax, and it feels a bit like a college dorm. Would be worth spending a bit more on a different spot if you're looking for a cozy home with locals to talk to."
2502263,41866837,2015-08-09,40121055,Matthew,The place was small but in the heart of downtown and served our needs perfectly.  
2502263,42369950,2015-08-12,10770786,Kate,"Great place if you want your own space and quiet. Its not the homey vibe of other Airbnb's where you interact with the hosts, but it can be nice if you just want time to yourself. Awesome location, close to some great cafes, restaurants and food trucks!

"
2502263,42622392,2015-08-14,282752,Brandon,"I am from Austin TX originally. I came back after spending years away, to catch up with the Austin scene. Julia's place is perfectly situated in close proximity to most all major downtown attractions - all within walking/biking distance. The home was quaint, clean, quiet, safe, and affordably priced. Julia is a perfectly gracious host with open lines of communication before/during/after the stay. I recommend, and I hope to return soon for another visit! Thank you!"
2502263,43345621,2015-08-18,6064921,Drew,"Super clean, accessible space to come and go through in an interesting location. Having stayed in many hostels I would definitely call it a step up and while it doesn't give ou the feeling of staying in someone's home, something can be sort of nice about that. "
2502263,44031359,2015-08-23,21897794,Andrew,"This place was fantastic. The facilities were excellent, It is very close to downtown. It is very close walking distance to the historic Rainey and 6th street areas, Plenty of great TexMex foodvan options nearby also. An added bonus is that is so close  Ladybird Lake which is a must while in town! The hosts were also extremely helpful and accommodating. "
2502263,44396622,2015-08-25,36153503,Gabriel,"The Julia apartment was very confortable,
I cooked just like at home. Through an email, Julia sent me the password of the home, so that I entered easily the house. The house is really close from downtown ( close for a european guy !). Thank you Julia."
2502263,44980022,2015-08-30,41299332,Gregory,Had a great stay. House is in a fun part of Austin. Outside of downtown but close to a lot of great places to eat and drink. I would stay here again.
2502263,45595748,2015-09-04,21505960,Elizabeth,"Julia was a great host, though I didn't meet her. She kept in contact and would check in with me during my stay. I loved the house, it was exactly how it was described. The room I stayed in was bigger than expected, and the pictures didn't show it's closet space. There were some small toiletries in case visitors didn't have any, which I was thankful for.  The house has bare essentials, so if you're looking for a more homie stay, this isn't it. But it's a great place if you want to be close to bars/restaurants and want a convenience factor. I stayed here because of work, and it was close to my office with minimal traffic. Also, there was ample parking. Next time I'm in Austin, I will definitely stay here again! "
2502263,46297690,2015-09-09,16683784,Charles,Good staying there
2502263,46564241,2015-09-11,12407004,Tarun,"Listing description is very accurate and the entire process was smooth. The access codes to the doors are super convenient and give you the flexibility of a late arrival without disturbing anyone. 

The place is cozy, clean and very convenient - it's less than a mile from Rainey Street and close to the restaurants. 

The place is also very clean and I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to spend time in Austin!"
2502263,46681921,2015-09-12,19858481,Lia,"My boyfriend and I had the most pleasant time staying at Julias! The place is lovely - charming and includes pretty much anything you could need. Getting all settled in was easy as could be.  She has a book on the table that has some great recommendations for places nearby and things to do which was so helpful for us.

"
2502263,47024194,2015-09-14,1172382,Pete,"I only needed a room for one night so I could catch an early flight back to Virginia. This room was very affordable, the whole house was nicely kept and clean, and the location was convenient too. Close to fun stuff in east austin and not too far from the other neighborhoods. The property managers made checking in and out super easy and got back to me very quickly when i had a question. All in all a very positive experience!"
2502263,47281815,2015-09-17,4718773,Megan,"This was a wonderful stay in a super cool neighborhood!  Walking distance to Texas Coffee Traders, and biking distance to downtown and South Congress shopping and entertainment!  The experience was great as an almost hotel style, fairly private stay.  I'm sure it depends on the visitors coming in, whether it becomes a more social scene, but either way, the rooms are private enough to consider your own interests.  It was very easy to get in, and there was fluid contact with Julia the whole time.  I recommend taking a stroll through the community garden at Festival Beach, just a short, 10 minute walk from your stay - what a great city!  Thanks Julia, for an open door, and a great experience!"
2502263,47393955,2015-09-18,42400321,Melissa,"This is the perfect crash-pad for downtown Austin. I had a conference at the 4 seasons and I was less than a mile away! Very eclectic, up and coming neighborhood. If you want a place where you can hang out in comfort maybe keep looking but if you are going to spend your days exploring Austin and want to be CLOSE, you found the spot!"
2502263,48235868,2015-09-24,164654,Kath,"Perfect location for Austin.  Always nice to come home to peace and quiet.  Always love Julia's set-ups.  Wish there were some in LA!  Good internet, house is a little old and run down and a little close to a major street."
2502263,48368639,2015-09-25,5822272,Heather & Michael,Great location convenient to downtown and the airport.  Ease your mind as this was an easy door to open that led to other doors.  A nice place to hang your hat and maybe meet a few other visitors at the same time.  The bed was quite comfortable.  I would recommend this place for a night or two.
2502263,48574801,2015-09-27,31105405,Maureen,"Cute spot, great location! "
2502263,49892602,2015-10-07,39770262,Lily,"Very welcoming, and really nice host! Instructions to get in/out were very clear and the home was clean and cozy. Really close to Downtown- easy to get anywhere! "
2502263,50930975,2015-10-16,33298143,Danielle,"Loved staying here, was within walking distance from everything and was super easy! Wished it had shampoo/soap in the bathroom as noted, but it was easy to find at the store nearby. The door code made it super easy to get in and out, and they were super communicative throughout the week. "
2502263,51462965,2015-10-20,42684214,Keri,"My stay at Julia's was exactly as it is listed- peaceful! The house is located just East of downtown, within walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores,  and Rainey Street (although you do have to walk through the crowded I-35 intersection). The room was spacious and clean. Julia is very easy to communicate with and made booking very easy. I would highly recommend staying here, and will definitely book with Julia on my next trip to Austin!"
2502263,51654291,2015-10-22,23073839,Erin,"The house was very clean. I felt very safe and the keyless doors were very convenient. There wasn't much in the immediate neighborhood, but it was just a few blocks from the 6th street neighborhood, which is filled with shops and restaurants. It was right on the 17 bus line to take you to the city."
2502263,52232030,2015-10-27,21382442,Jue,"Nice and comfortable room, good neighborhood, next to Blue Cat Cafe! Patient and helpful when I had any problem needs solving."

8480803,52858637,2015-11-02,45087090,Larissa,"I has such amazing experience, I did not want to leave and fell in love with Austin.  It was such a great location!! Saxon pub is across the street, Odd Duck is in the same parking lot, I walked to ACL, ran to the Colorado river trails, Whole Foods is a 2 minute drive and Yoga Sanctuary is right around the corner. 

The apartment building was excellent, I felt secure staying there by myself and there is a beautiful gym and pool. 

Additionally, Eric was extremely accommodating and provided everything I needed for comfortable stay: cleaning supplies, shampoo, etc. "
8507559,49720552,2015-10-05,7358554,Tonianne,"Charles's place was perfect for Austin City Limits weekend!
The apartment was exactly as described and shown in photos. Everything we could have needed was provided for us. Quick and cheap Uber/Lyft ride to downtown and to Zilker park. It's located walking distance to a supermarket and CVS for all your needs, and all the cool shops and restaurants on South Congress.

Would stay again! "
8507559,50534001,2015-10-12,9659831,Peck,"Great communication by the host and very helpful throughout the visit! Apartment was in a great location. It was clean and met expectations!

"
8507559,52287752,2015-10-27,47046722,Dylan,"The apartment was more than I could have asked for. Modern furnishings, great location in between downtown and the airport, right next to good food. I will stay here next time I'm in Austin, hands down."
8507559,52654646,2015-10-31,2575229,Jon,"This apartment has everything you need for a dew nights in Austin. You can easily access close by restuarnats, walk to the South Congress area, and enjoy an amazing food truck right outside your door. I would stay here again if I return to Austin."
3490210,21304794,2014-10-14,11042574,Larry,"Chad's apartment was incredible. It is exactly as pictured, which is rare for an airbnb. Everything was pristine and the interior design was top notch. Well worth the money. "
3490210,24395000,2014-12-27,14757842,Alicia,"Apartment was super clean, modern, and stylish. Chad was very responsive and friendly. Thank you for letting us stay at your place! "
3490210,24513391,2014-12-29,552295,Emil,"Absolutely wonderful host! Self check-in, check-out, super, super easy and straight forward. Chad has everything down to a really simple, and organized process – even the way you control the AC (yes, AC) is a simple process thanks to his Nest thermostat. 

Just the fact that he uses a Nest thermostat really allows you understand that you're staying at a place where every small detail has been refined, and perfected. The shower is great, the bed extremely comfortable and view amazing.

In fact, the location/view might be one of the best things about this place. If you're anything like me, you'll enjoy morning coffee on the balcony and most likely snag a photo or two of the amazing view ;)"
3490210,24788189,2015-01-02,3021639,Nick,"Really excellent location. Walkable to both ends of 6th St bars. Nice neighborhood amenities, and an overall good space to stay."
3490210,28157796,2015-03-19,22647254,Jeremy,"Chad was an incredible host before I ever arrived, offering advice on local food, entertainment and transport, all of which came in especially handy during the busy time I was staying (sxsw!). The space was perfect both for its location--easy access to downtown yet just far enough off the beaten path to be quiet at night--and in its comfort and appointments. Arrival notes and instructions for local contacts, tips and even the thermostat made things easy, and the space was clean, comfy and beautiful. Two thumbs up, five stars, seal of approval...whatever works. It definitely has my recommendation."
3490210,30893259,2015-04-28,9470896,Moira,"Our stay in Chad's loft was perfect!  It was just as described, extremely clean, and very comfortable. Location was ideal, very easy access to everything Austin has to offer. Chad was very easy to work with and communicated quickly and clearly.  Would love to stay here again. Thanks, Chad!! "
731013,3783066,2013-03-14,829788,Jay,"Great place to stay - Anna was friendly and helpful as a host, and it was a comfortable place for our SXSW trip. Really appreciated the extras like a coffee maker (and pods), apples and bottled water in the fridge and a few little things to eat - plus towels and all that provided. Cute ""casita"" too, had everything we needed. Thanks!"
731013,3820390,2013-03-18,4577421,Michelle,"Ana was so sweet and helpful when we stayed here for sxsw. She showed us around the guesthouse, let us know where to find everything and even had the unit stocked with snacks and a few beverages. Such a cute, unique guest house in a lovely part of Austin.  Perfect for a weekend get away! "
731013,7687412,2013-09-29,147529,Kenneth,"The Casita is wonderful! Ana and her husband were great hosts. The space is very comfy, clean and warm. I would definitely book it again next time I head to Austin."

Anna and her husband are great hosts and I would highly recommend their guest house to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, beautiful, cozy place to stay. We had no problems and they showed us amazing customer service. I know I am definitely going to stay there any time I need a play to stay in Austin!! Couldn't have been happier when finding this listing and couldn't have been happier when leaving because we had a great experience :) "
731013,8096945,2013-10-15,9129295,Tim,Very good hosts. Place was clean and functional. Perfect for ACL or any trip to Austin.

Only 4-5 blocks west of Lamar which has a lot of great restaurants and bars itself. Hosts were great. Ana was very helpful and everything was as described. I would happily recommend for couples as well as small families."
731013,8919993,2013-11-25,10083950,Leah,"The Casita was such a great place to stay! Very cozy and spacious studio, located in a cute neighborhood very close to the main attractions of the city. When we arrived, Ana had left us some much appreciated wine, beer and snacks. We also brought our dog along, and their fenced in back yard was so spacious coming from apartment-style living!"
731013,9534648,2014-01-01,10912019,Jackie,"We loved our stay there and didn't want to leave!  It was very comfortable and cozy.  So glad I spend the extra $30 over my 2nd choice- Ana offers at least that much in consumables.  She was very thoughtful in her accommodations and it was apparent.  Thanks, Ana.  "

731013,10570415,2014-02-25,5775839,Marcia,"We had a lovely stay in Ana and Griffin's casita.  It's full of South Austin charm and cozy, in a close-in neighborhood.  It was well-stocked with beer and snacks (paleo- and gluten-free friendly) and a coffeemaker that made cappuccinos.  WiFi, cable, romantic lighting and seclusion make it a great getaway spot. Thanks for the lovely weekend!"
731013,10702301,2014-03-03,2435866,Lauren,Ana was wonderful and her place is located in a great neighborhood with plenty of great places within walking distance. She was very welcoming and super helpful. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a nice comfortable getaway in Austin. 
731013,11000215,2014-03-17,4313678,Jens,"We had a great stay here!  The cold 6 pack of delicious locally brewed beer waiting for us in the fridge really sweetened the deal :) 

Great location/neighborhood to stay in as well, perfect bike riding distance to all the fun during SXSW!  "
731013,11467172,2014-04-04,978465,Brad,"We were truly lucky to have gotten the chance to stay here.  Aside from it being situated optimally in Austin, it was simply a fantastic place for our family to stay.  It was cozy, comfortable and clean.  It was obvious that much thought and care was given to creating a wonderful and tasteful space in that everything we needed was at hand for cooking, eating, sleeping, bathing, etc... WITH adequate space to float around the place as well!  The yard was also a great area to eat, hang out and play in (for the kids).  Ana was a super host, immediately responding to any questions we had and helping to ensure our comfort and enjoyment.  We arrived to some lovely apples and snacks too!  Overall, the Guest House just feels great, special and cool.  A really lovely and memorable space we are grateful to have stayed in.  "
731013,13446792,2014-05-27,1972287,Trish & Isaac,"Ana was simply awesome, the little casita was perfectly located near everything we came to see, parks, restaurants, shopping, etc.  Since the weather was so bad, she let us stay a few hours to wait it out and was very accommodating.  We'll definitely look her up the next time we're in Austin."
731013,14631206,2014-06-23,7693359,Deborah,"Great location and space!  We had everything we needed!  Really nice to have bottled water beer and snacks when we arrived.  Also, appreciated the well stocked bathroom!"
731013,15019742,2014-06-30,17324059,William,"We enjoyed our stay at the private guest house. Ana and Griffin were very  accommodating in giving us a tour of the property and allowing us to check in just after 12:00 noon. The property is a separate guest house located in a quiet, established, neighborhood. The free wifi was fast and dependable. The furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen area had everything we needed. A six pack of Beer, water, and snacks were provided. We walked in the neighborhood and felt safe and the neighbors were friendly. It was a short walk to Zilker park and to nearby cafe and drug store. We would stay at this location again. "
731013,15359290,2014-07-07,17243864,Russ,"We had a great stay here over 4th of July holiday. The place was nice and clean and exactly as expected. Ana was very nice and quick to respond to questions about check-in. This is a great location, close to some of our favorite parts of Austin. I'm happy we stayed here!"

731013,16526883,2014-07-28,18690940,Julie,"Ana exchanged several messages in anticipation of our visit.  She and her husband were very welcoming.  They gave us the grand tour and pointed out several areas of interest in the area.   They provided a few snacks and toiletries, which I considered an ""extra.""  I will book with Ana again when I come to Austin."
731013,18967812,2014-09-03,13393983,Amy,Loved staying at Ana's casita. Her and her husband were incredibly helpful and did everything they could to make sure I had a comfortable stay! 
731013,21536159,2014-10-19,21854701,Hazuki,It was a nice and quiet neighborhood and close to everything so we loved it. We took 2 dogs with us and they were cool about it so we felt comfortable to leave them in a place for couple of hours. It was only one night but we definitely would like to come back here next time we are in town. Thank you!! 
731013,22521501,2014-11-09,11898043,Maria,Ana was most welcoming & accommodating. The little cottage is charming and feels far away though it's really right smack in the middle of everything cool. A few extra towels would have been nice but we didn't ask.  
731013,24792942,2015-01-02,2636724,Evan,"Ana and Griffin are lovely hosts; charming and helpful. The property is well kept, clean and luxurious...and really beautiful. Reclaimed wood, glass and mosaic with high ceilings? Love it!"

Beautiful accommodation about a mile to Zilker and beautiful walk through a safe neighborhood. "
731013,25302101,2015-01-11,3983258,Stephanie,Fantastic experience! Fast response! Flexible and informative host! True to described and pictured. Added a night with less than 12 hours notice and there were no problems. Very informative about the area and especially fitness/healthy options. About a mile to Zilker park and a beautiful walk!
731013,25486859,2015-01-17,26050399,Treye,"Our stay here was fantastic. Ana was on top of the communication and everything was clean and ready. The house is beautiful and very cozy—perfect for two people—and the location couldn't be better; we ran to Town Lake and downtown is several minutes away by car. We would definitely stay here whenever we make our way back to Austin.

"
731013,25971483,2015-01-31,26158056,Mike,Great host family and great location. Easy bike ride to downtown and walk to zilker park. Easy to walk to excellent food trucks and restaraunts. Host provided recommendations on activities and restaraunts. We had a dog and the house is in a fenced in area. We will stay here again for sure
731013,26229021,2015-02-07,10941785,Janet,"We loved our stay and wish it could have been longer. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome.  We hope to come back!
"
731013,26535317,2015-02-15,26130669,Vivek,"The guest house is a beautiful, clean large one-room (plus bathroom and closet) building. It's in a great location and affordably priced. The beer and snacks were also awesome.

We definitely recommend staying here."
731013,26926321,2015-02-22,2805415,Drew,"This was seriously the cutest airbnb I've stayed in to date. It is perfectly located in a quiet and safe neighborhood and is a quick drive to great, nearby restaurants. The hosts were so great: super responsive and accommodating. I traveled with my 3 month old, and they had the cutest welcome basket for us and him (thank you!!). The space was clean, stocked with snacks, water and beer, and had every amenity you would find in a hotel (towels, shampoo/conditioner, blow dryer, etc.). I would definitely recommend this space to friends and family! "
731013,27392704,2015-03-03,22868082,Mattice And Chris,"Ana and Griffin were amazing!!!! Unfortunately for us, our flight got in 7 hours later than originally planned.  Ana was very responsive with all of our updates throughout the day. When we arrived they greeted us at the gate, at almost midnight and were just the nicest and most welcoming couple ever. They had local beer, water and snacks waiting for us when we got in, and they had put the heater on prior to our arrival so that the room would be warm and toasty when we got there. 
This trip was very special for my husband and I because it was our first  ""just us"" trip after I got diagnosed with cancer. Ana was super helpful, she'd email me throughout the entire process and ask if there was anything else that I needed during my stay (regarding my supplies, Meds and even locations of pharmacies in case I needed it). They had a binder with maps/locations of restuarants, bars, pharmacies and other attractions to see while in Austin.

Griffin offered a couple of things for us to do like Breweries and shooting ranges, but it was raining the entire time we were there. :(

Stay with Ana and Griffin, and you'll be more than taken care of. Amazing trip thanks to them! "
731013,27567531,2015-03-07,28835584,Heather,"We decided we wanted to stay an extra night in Austin, but the rental we were in was booked. I found this place and booked it last minute thanks to Ana's prompt response. When we arrived Griffen greeted us and helped us out by providing local information. My friend, my two little dogs, and I, had a great and comfortable stay!"
731013,27649623,2015-03-09,198662,Joshua,"Ana's guest house was a fantastic experience.  I had great communication start to finish and a pleasant stay.  It's walkable to a number of good food and drink spots, and a quick can ride or drive to south congress or downtown (you could also walk without issue).  The house itself is cozy and nicely decorated - exactly as the pictures show.  "
731013,27753620,2015-03-10,25524153,Natalie,"Super cute and unique place! Hosts were very welcoming and got us in last minute. Comfy bed, plenty of room for all three of us. Snacks, local beer and wine. Very thoughtful. Favorite part was the artsy little bathroom. ;-)"

731013,29746951,2015-04-12,1570146,Charlotte,"I spent 3 nights at Ana's Guest house with 2 friends for a girls's trip in Austin and it was the best!

Ana's husbdand welcomed us with all kind of informations about the casita, the city and the local things to do, snacks and beer were waiting for us, which is always perfect after a long flight, and the Casita is one of the cutest place you could want. Spacious enough for 3 girls to spend 3 days without feeling into each other space, adorable yard, amazing decoration (it is exactly like in  the pictures) we felt right at home and would go back in a heartbeat!

Thank you again so much!"

731013,30485229,2015-04-22,17639671,Justin,Ana's place was perfect!  Great location and a very comfortable and clean guest house.  I highly recommend.
731013,31906862,2015-05-11,30552252,Tamsyn,"Ana and Griffin were both incredibly helpful and attentive from the moment I arrived and it was a well-kept, beautiful space to live in while I explored Austin for the first time. The fridge and kitchen were really well stocked also so I arrived to plenty of snacks, which is great if you're really jet-lagged and don't know what you're doing. It's both peaceful but within walking distance of all the city's attractions. I didn't need to use the car at all. "
731013,33578176,2015-05-30,29997534,Clay,a great location for austin exploration
731013,33826903,2015-06-01,32724340,Gary,"Ana was very responsive to the booking and subsequent communications.  The place is conveniently located in central Austin, a 20 minute walk to Zilker Park/Barton Springs and close to all the downtown attractions.  The place is very cute and comfortable for a couple.  The only thing not perfect was the weak water pressure in the shower."

My dogs were welcome and well-planned for and for me that was a really wonderful plus. The location of the guest house is excellent. It's near many wonderful restaurants and bars and it's very easy to find. The guest house itself was tidy and had all the amenities I could've wanted. I would absolutely stay here again. 
731013,42964157,2015-08-16,15492986,Deborah,"Ana's guest house is amazing! Cozy yet plenty of room, and close to everything but in a quiet area. She provided beer and coffee, fruit and snacks--we had a wonderful time! "

731013,44080586,2015-08-23,42069237,Bridgette,"This was my first time using airbnb, and it was great. Ana was kind and professional in our interactions via email and text. The cottage was as described, and was perfect for us. She had nice touches, like snacks and teas available for us, and ease of getting in and out was great too.   No complaints, only gratitude and a wonderful experience."

731013,48463773,2015-09-26,27163952,Marjorie,Even better than expected! I drove from Dallas to Austin and it ended up being quite a trek due to traffic. So getting to the cozy guesthouse surrounded by trees was a pleasant relief. The fridge was stocked with beers and local snacks were also provided. I was able to relax and enjoy a beer and some wasabi nuts before my night out in Austin. The area is perfect. Close to so much but nestled in a relaxing environment. Loved the large windows with views of the trees. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. 
731013,49234119,2015-10-02,19574407,Ifer,Our stay here was PERFECT! The place was big enough for the both of us and our little dog too. It felt safe and private. Was close to everything we wanted to do in Austin. Our hosts were excellent at making sure we were at home here. We hope to come back again someday! 
731013,49582467,2015-10-05,23397988,Whitney,We found the casita just as described. Ana made us feel very welcome. We spent the weekend at ACL and the casita was a great location for walking access to the festival.
731013,51307715,2015-10-19,40648612,Scott,"Ana was great. Very responsive to all of my questions. There were snacks and drinks that were much appreciated after a long flight.

The place was great little home away from home for my trip to Austin."
731013,52471177,2015-10-29,47564402,Tracie,"We communicated via text with our host prior to arrival. She gave us info regarding checking in which was helpful. We did not actually meet her but were able to communicate via text with a few parking question once we arrived. We were unimpressed with the outside surroundings of the house and cottage. We had to park on the street and then carry your luggage from the street through the gate down the driveway to the back of the house. This wouldn’t have been as much of an ordeal had there not been large tree branches limbs and twigs strewn across the driveway. After going to dinner and returning after dark there was no lighting and my husband tripped over this debris trying to navigate back to the cottage. Another issue, although I LOVE dogs, was the large dog that was somewhat intimidating due to barking and jumping onto the window each time we had to walk by the main house. Once we did get in the cottage it was very cute. I jokingly referred to the design as European Bedrock. It had a bit of Flintstone flair but in a very cute way. The bed was very comfy too. The only negative inside was the lack of a curtain on a large window that left us having to dress and undress in the bathroom. It was within walking distance to a few wonderful restaurants, which was great. Overall the experience was not great. I do believe just a couple tweaks and it would improve the experience greatly. "
2354569,41658630,2015-08-08,36178590,Snehin,Erica's place is cozy and makes you feel at home

5396172,28100049,2015-03-17,4322716,Melissa,Anne did a great job making us feel welcome! She met us at the house and showed us all around which certainly helped. Anne was really accommodating as well! She got us extra sets of keys and allowed for a flexible check-in/check-out. We stayed during SXSW so it was difficult to find a place. Anne's place was in such a cute neighborhood which I wish we had time to explore. Would definitely stay again!
5396172,49811010,2015-10-06,11130693,Danielle,"We absolutely loved staying in Anne's home.  It was clean, comfortable, and very spacious.  And you can't beat the location - less than 10 minute walk to lively Barton Springs Road - perfect for our ACL experience.  Anne is an extremely gracious and accommodating host and made us feel very welcome. Especially with the delicious treats she left us!  We would definitely stay there again!!!"
8284053,47839175,2015-09-21,14565337,Melanie,"This is a great condo! Bathroom has been remodled, great new bamboo floors in living area, fully equipped kitchen, and a cute new tiled balcony :-) The host, Edgar, was charming and very helpful with directions and recommendations. I would definitely stay here again."
8284053,48773174,2015-09-28,21933689,Nikki,Edgar was an amazing host! His home was spotlessly clean and he even had breakfast and ingredients for mimosas waiting! The location is 5-10 mins from all the action and Edgar will give you recommendations on places to go! Really enjoyed my time and would definitely stay again.
345118,1003051,2012-03-15,1726874,Nathalie,"Simple, and organized. nice neighborhood... close to downtown. "
345118,1247696,2012-05-08,2073964,Trevor,"The apartment was left very clean, with new soap, shampoo and conditioner.  Clean towels and sheets were also provided.  Our host even left a bottle of champagne in the fridge for us.  The location was pretty good.  It is walkable to 6th street although when we would leave for the day that was it - we didn't want to make the walk multiple times.  And the bus line although just a few blocks away - didn't seem worth it.  It would stop too infrequently.  The neighborhood was nice, although the apartment itself was a bit dated.   Alexis was very helpful and prompt whenever we contacted him.  I would stay here again."
345118,1434450,2012-06-07,3293,Andra,"I really enjoyed staying at Alexis' apartment. Its location is ideal, on a beautiful tree-lined street and within walking distance to restaurants. The apartment is simple but cozy and didn't lack anything - there was even a bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge. Alexis is a great host, very easy to communicate with. I would stay here again, and I strongly recommend this listing."
345118,2563479,2012-10-09,498017,Rahim,"Although I didn't get to meet Alexis, my stay was great. Her place is conveniently located, nicely furnished, and very clean. She even took the time to leave me a tasty breakfast in the fridge! I'd definitely stay here again."
345118,2704452,2012-10-24,1222087,David,"Alexis' pad proved the perfect place for my friend and I to stay during the AFF & Conference. Prompt responses and accommodating our needs, Alexis was an excellent host. Although we were hardly there, critical needs like cleanliness, constant hot water for the shower, air con, lots of closet space, a comfortable bed, a comfortable sofa to sleep on, in a safe, quiet neighbourhood a 20 minute stroll to the Driskill were met. Highly recommend!"
345118,2761212,2012-10-30,678869,Kat,"Alexis was just a fantastically perfect host! From the moment I reached out to him on Airbnb he was kind, funny, accommodating, and witty! He shared fun suggestions and his place is just perfectly located on the outskirt of downtown- away from all the hubub of the main part of 6th street, close to all the awesome and calmer sports and themed bars and down the street from an amazing diner, fantastic Louisiana style restaurant, and the most giant Whole Foods ever. I was able to walk pretty much everywhere from his place (including SoCo). The inside was clean, simple, and wonderful to come home to at night- he utilizes the space of this studio impeccably to feel relaxed and welcoming.

In addition, the surrounding area is perfect! Safe and quaint with amazingly beautiful and historic homes! Overall I would absolutely recommend both Alexis and his flat to anyone staying in Austin! I was sad to have to leave and lucky to have called his place home for a week! Thank you!! "
345118,2895349,2012-11-16,3742801,Krister,"Nice and cosy apartment in a very good location. 20m walk to downtown, car rental close by and Whole Foods HQ just around the corner. Well equipped kitchen to top it up. Plenty of opportunities for a jog! "
345118,3088907,2012-12-14,421442,Eren Emre,"Alexis has a cozy, little place in a cool part of the town. It's very walkable, close to everything you could need. Walks to downtown might take a little but overall, you'll be satisfied with the location.

Place itself is small, so it's great if you are by yourself. It has everything you need and a good bathtub. It's also very clean."
345118,3200242,2012-12-31,1171466,Grace,"nice studio located in a quiet area of central austin, walkable to all things downtown during the day and a quick taxi ride home at nght.  studio includes amenities that make this a great home away for home for a single or couple.  i would stay there again.  i love austin."
345118,3535149,2013-02-13,2502623,Habib,"Alexis's place was cozy, comfortable and clean. She was a great host even though we didn't physically meet. Felt truly welcome and at home there. "
345118,3639740,2013-02-26,4140319,Kevin,Place was great!  Easy to walk to just about everything west of 35.  It's only about .3 miles to the beautiful trail around Town Lake.  The neighborhood is safe.  Alexis made herself available throughout the whole process to help or even give ideas as to what to do in town.  Would definitely stay again!
345118,3686032,2013-03-04,4734015,Alex,"My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here. It is a good distance from 6th street and is near plenty of great restaurants. The apartment was very nice and clean - it  was just what we were looking for. Alexis was a great host, checking in throughout our visit and providing a nice home for us to stay. The check in and out process was quite easy and we would definitely stay here again!"
345118,3892395,2013-03-25,5236227,Mikayla,The apartment was in a great location & was a wonderful place for my boyfriend & I to relax & explore Austin!  Alexis had some nice homey touches!
345118,4338102,2013-04-29,5356835,Jeff,"Great spot in a quiet neighborhood close to Whole Foods and an easy walk to downtown. There was a small plumbing issue when we arrived, but Alexis resolved it right away and compensated us with a discount for the trouble. I'd recommend Hotel Lexis to anyone heading to Austin."
345118,4848499,2013-05-28,4809036,Jeff,"Alexis is an exceptionally accommodating host. The space is beautiful, comfortable and located very close to all of the action in downtown Austin. Hands down the best place I've stayed in Austin, even counting fancy hotels which cost me three times as much. Alexis provided coffee, and of course can't forget the ""breakfast of champions"" aka the fixins for some much needed Sunday morning mimosas....! Thanks again Alexis and hope to stay with you again in the future!"
345118,4960800,2013-06-04,3500326,Barney,"We had a great stay at Alexis' apartment. It was basic but clean and great value - all you need for a base to explore Austin. I recommend hiring bicycles to get around - its too far to walk and it made downtown, south and east Austin quickly accessible. The apartment would be better for a couple as one of us was sofa surfing but that was not a big deal, as its a comfy sofa. We didn't meet Alexis but he was easily available on email and everything worked perfectly so we didn't need to contact him much apart from to arrange checking out."
345118,5791933,2013-07-16,2585467,Aileen,"Alexis' studio was the perfect place for our two week stay in Austin. It's clean and comfortable and it even came with some great welcome amenities for us to kick off our vacation with. The studio is the perfect size for either a lone traveler or couple and you can't beat the location. We were only 4 blocks from the Whole Foods, and in the middle of everywhere we wanted to visit, whether it was downtown, the University or Barton Springs, especially since we rented bikes.

Alexis was the perfect host, answering tons of questions very quickly and giving me some invaluable insider tips. The fridge was stocked with essentials and I felt right at home right away! I highly recommend this roomy and comfy studio and can assure you that you will receive the best of care from its gracious host. "
345118,8914469,2013-11-25,9980004,Clara,"I had a wonderful stay at Alexis place! The apartment is serene and spacious, the neighborhood is safe yet central, and Alexis was a most gracious host, responding quickly to any questions and helping me out on my first stay in Austin. The proximity to the Whole Foods market and the well equipped kitchen were big bonuses for me, as was the walking distance to both the greener areas by the river and the busier streets. There are also stops for several bus lines nearby, and a record store with frequent free live performances from visiting bands two blocks away. I loved Austin as a city too and will definitely try to stay at Alexis place again!"
345118,9938908,2014-01-20,11152330,Brian,"Alexis was a great host and although we never met in person, he made sure I was all set and felt comfortable in his apartment. He gave me some great recommendations for the area as well. The apartment was also a great location as I was able to venture downtown and walk back no problem! Will look to again if I find myself in Austin again."
345118,10024870,2014-01-26,10436637,Dan,"Great location in relation to down-town and communication from Alexis was consistent and prompt. Also, the unit was decorated nicely which resulted in a comfortable stay. "

345118,10356693,2014-02-15,6362059,April,Alexis was friendly and accommodating and very quick to respond to questions during the stay. The apartment is clean but not incredibly big. Good location and safe neighborhood. A brisk walk to most things.

345118,12006905,2014-04-21,10967086,Anthony,"I spent the week at Alexis' studio and explored Austin. The studio is tucked away in a nice residential area (1 block to Amy's ice cream). There is ample free parking out front; however you don't really need a car. We left ours parked nearly the whole time, except when we drove to zilker park. Everything is walkable (downtown, Capitol, Rainey, even E6th street food trucks). The studio is quite roomy and you cannot beat the price/sq foot anywhere near this area. The fridge comes stocked with cold brew coffee, water,  and mimosa supplies. I would highly recommend this place if friends came to visit Austin!"

From cleanliness, comfort, and air conditioning (summer!), to internet and free parking, all the bases were covered.  Plus as a bonus, Alexis provided nice little extras, like juice/wine/coffee in the fridge, and extra toiletries in the bathroom.  Would gladly stay here again."
345118,16685014,2014-07-31,202381,Jade,"My stay at Hotel Lexis was unforgettable, in a good way.  His attention to detail with cleanliness is outstanding and the minimalistic approach to style offers a calming and serene atmosphere free of clutter and chaos - perfect for a week of winding down and enjoying the city.  The bed is beyond comfortable, water pressure is great, and overall just a steal of a place.  The location is great, too!  Walking distance from all things downtown, yet tucked into a quiet and safe neighborhood.  A perfect Austin experience.  "
345118,20425790,2014-09-29,19000597,Rosemary,"We had a great stay. The apartment was as pictured. Nice and close to pretty much everything and buses were really close by and easy to catch. The apartment had all we needed, it was only myself and my husband so we didn't need a lot an found that all our needs were met. Alexis was very responsive and easy to work with. We loved Austin and can't wait to come back."

345118,23135054,2014-11-23,23885917,Vinny,This place is in a great location of downtown Austin. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend here to stay close to downtown Austin. You are a short walk away from West 6th with tons of great bars. Alexis' place is very clean and cozy. I would stay here again. I recommend this place to anyone looking to be a close walk to short can ride to anywhere in Austin Proper. 
345118,24877324,2015-01-03,12876616,Jamie,"Such a cute apartment in a great neighborhood. Alexis was a dream of a host and even left us a little arrival gift. She was incredibly responsive leading up to our stay and made sure our entrance was easy. If you are looking for a cute place to rest your head while you check out Austin, I highly recommend it. 

If I come back to Austin I'd definitely look forward to staying here again!"
345118,25893696,2015-01-28,10534280,Shane,"While I didn't meet Alexis, the place was accurately described and located in a prime location to downtown.  I must admit the bed was very comfortable and cozy!  I enjoyed my time immensely in Austin."

345118,27612689,2015-03-08,14929341,Isaiah,"The apartment is very simple but its exactly what you want in Austin. It is the perfect space for 1-2 people and Alexis has done a great job laying it out to make it seem even roomier than it is. The apartment close to downtown (walk/$5 uber), has all the essentials you need, and is comfortable to sleep in. Alexis was a great communicator, and while I never met her, she was very prompt and accurate about all of her descriptions and expectations. 

The apartment has Apple TV and a bluetooth speaker, which is great for hanging out and getting ready. Alexis left a bottle of champagne and some OJ which was a really nice touch. The apartment is located in a very cute and quiet neighborhood, which still has access to great late night food options (24 Diner) and shopping (whole foods). I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to come to Austin that was focused on exploring. 

Note: be sure to bring your own toiletries (toothpaste, bath soap, etc). This ain't a hotel people! :)

"
345118,28161774,2015-03-19,19206122,Mary,"I stayed at ""Hotel Lexis"" during SXSW. It was a perfect location - close to the action but far enough to escape the madness. It's about a 30-minute walk to the convention center. I used Austin bike share all week and there are two docks  just down the street from Alexis' studio. The surrounding neighborhood is gorgeous and it's super close to Whole Foods, 24 Diner (which was great!), and Waterloo. The studio was quiet with fast wi-fi, clean sheets, fresh towels, a fan, and a/c. I would stay here again!"
345118,28846774,2015-03-30,29934195,Lindsey,"We loved this apartment!  Alexis is very nice and accommodatable.  We felt very welcome here.  The place was super clean and exactly as listed.  We walked a lot during our visit, there are lots of nice places you can get to quickly by foot, including Castle Hill Graffiti Park.  The street the apartment building is on is very cute, I loved looking at the houses each time we walked somewhere.  When we weren't walking, we used Uber and I don't think we paid more than $10 for two people on a trip once - the apartment is very conveniently located!  There's wifi access which I always appreciate.  Also, the bed is SUPER comfy!  I highly recommend this apartment and would gladly come back for another visit.  Thanks Alexis!! "
345118,29120810,2015-04-04,9019464,Jennifer,"My boyfriend and I came down to Austin on vacation and Alexis's spot was perfect. It's in a very centrally located area. We did not have to rent a car. We walked easily everywhere and had access to Bcycle, the towns city bike program, and biked around one day. There are also zip car locations nearby for the one day we drove to Lockhart for BBQ. There is a big parking lot if we happened to rent a car. $20 uber ride from airport.

The apartment was clean and cozy with plenty of fresh towels. Full dish set with silverware, pots and pans.  We like to cook breakfast in the mornings. A/C was great. Internet was fast. 

All in all a great stay! Exactly how it is described--i would recommend!"
345118,30713163,2015-04-26,10773621,Carina,Hotel Alexis is fab. Great location right near Whole Foods/an easy Uber ride anywhere for less than $10. And the bed is super comfortable. Mimosa makings in the fridge help too! Alexis is also super easy to deal with and very responsive to questions. Would definitely stay again. 
345118,33034710,2015-05-24,32838243,Andrea,"This was my first time using airbnb and it was a great experience. Alexis' place was clean and cozy, and felt like home for a few days. She was very friendly and sent messages to give me some local food suggestions and to check if I needed anything. This little apartment building doesn't look like much from the outside, but it is surrounded by big beautiful homes. The neighborhood is really charming and close to everything I wanted to explore. I saved money by not staying at a hotel and had a more local experience. Win!"
345118,33727569,2015-05-31,25194011,Marina,"Loved our experience at Alexis's place! It's in a fantastic location. Alexis was also very easy to get a hold of, and had great recommendations for restaurants around the area. She also provided the ""breakfast of champions"" for us, which was awesome. A++. Highly recommend!"
345118,34571187,2015-06-09,32626432,Ryan,I had a great time at Alexis' house. Everything was as advertised and I was perfectly centrally located. Alexis was such a great host. My girlfriend and I loved getting in to mimosas in the fridge. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin.

345118,47706824,2015-09-21,37031509,Taylor,Definitely one of the most welcoming AirBNB hosts I've had yet!  Alexis was so friendly and quick to respond to any questions or give advice.  This was a great place to stay in a great location.  Walking/less than $5 Uber everywhere we wanted to go to and was right by the Lady Bird Lake trail we biked and jogged.  And had an AppleTV provided to watch some Netflix when we were taking it easy.  Great week vacation before heading back overseas made better by Alexis!
345118,48809779,2015-09-28,19660348,Jairo,Alexis' place was perfect location in Austin. walking distance and simple uber drive away from everything. def recommend for those visiting austin for weekend.

The apartment is well located, a walking distance from downtown and a big supermarket and looks exactly as described."
1607158,8824110,2013-11-19,9816874,Tracy,"Andrew's house was even more lovely than pictured, and Andrew was a gracious host! His house was incredibly comfortable and gorgeously decorated. He met us upon our arrival and made himself available as often as we watned, with loads of tips for local restaurants and things to do. The location was super convenient (we used car2go extensivlely over our weekend, and then took a cab back the nights we'd been drinking). Thanks, Andrew, for a great stay!"
1607158,27824842,2015-03-12,11120689,Ghazwan,Andrew was very a lovely host with a great clean flat. Really great place to stay and would do again for sure. 
1607158,28088270,2015-03-17,1847416,Daniel,"Brilliant. Andrew was helpful, flexible and generous enough to leave some food and beer for us. There was plenty of space for the three of us to stay comfortably for the week. Lovely cats and a porch designed for rocking and whittling. Just perfect."
1607158,33191127,2015-05-25,33659475,Rom,"Andrew was a gracious host and made us feel very welcome from the outset, and it was a definite pleasure to meet him.  Ours was a last minute (within 48 hours) reservation request, and Andrew was quick to accommodate us.  He made himself available to us throughout the course of our stay and even offered to put us up another night if we found ourselves stranded in Austin as a result of the Memorial Day floods.  The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing and Andrew's home a comfortable and thoroughly enjoyable place to stay during my son's graduation weekend at UT.   "
1607158,49593532,2015-10-05,35415282,Bryant,"We stayed at Andrew's home for 4 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Although I didn't get  a chance to meet him personally (my friend arrived in Austin much earlier than myself), he was very accommodating and left us some snacks and other food as a welcome present. We had absolutely no issues with the house or the neighborhood. The neighborhood was close to downtown, the south sixth street area, and Zilker Park (Austin City Limits festival site).  Also, only about 15 minutes from the airport. Overall we had a great time and would definitely stay here again. Thanks again Andrew!"
7791273,42996906,2015-08-16,6538376,Aj,"Absolutely amazing place. The photos of course looked great, but I was still quite surprised at just how nice everything was in person. Nathan takes a lot of care to make sure the place is exceptional, and it definitely shows. He's also a terrific host. friendly, easy going, and really fun. HIGHLY recommended!"

The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom had everything you needed - even a bath robe. It was like staying at a five-start hotel. We were very happy with the place. The place is also in a great location - within a 5 min drive to downtown. 

Nathan is a super nice guy. He was quick to respond and gave clear instructions on how to check in. 

We would definitely stay here again.

5518172,27962007,2015-03-15,26783501,Chuya,"She was really good to me.
The room is comfortable and clean. The location is very close to the downtown yet in a very quiet neighborhood.

One thing: you have to be a person who loves dogs and cats.
Her dog is very energetic. If you love pets, it's going to be better experience for sure."
5518172,32915837,2015-05-23,15397246,Debbie,"Sabrina's place was nice and cozy and accommodating. She is great and prompt with communication. Her indoor cat, Koh, is around all the time however, so if you have any aversion to cats or cat hair, you probably shouldn't stay here."

"
5729029,29807662,2015-04-12,30905694,Zane,"This is a great place to be both close to Austin and in a calm, relaxed, communal environment. Highly recommend staying here, especially if you're a musician, artist, or if you just want a countryside feel. Its calm enough to get some work done around some musicians experienced enough to teach you a thing or two. Nice place, nice land, nice futon, nice folks. "
5729029,29959390,2015-04-14,31041454,Collin,"Rolled into Austin late with no place to stay. Will was kind enough to offer up his AMAZING AND MAGICAL airstream out back. This was great news to us. We arrived and were more blown away by the AMAZING AND MAGICAL property. The house is homey. The yard is yardy. He was super accommodating, cooked us breakfast and talked to us for hours about the mysteries of life. Usually with air bnb you feel like you are stepping into someone's home. At Will's place it felt like a small community.  The property is vast and beautiful with chickens, cats and dogs running around. The last night we were there will brought us out to see some live music and we couldn't have asked for a better ending. If you want to experience the REAL Austin stay with Will. It was truly a magical experience my wife and I will not soon forget. "
5729029,30359470,2015-04-20,6498303,Alice,"A lovely country home 15 min drive to the centre of Austin (and very close to the Broken Spoke!) friendly cats, chooks and fresh eggs, great coffee and peaceful. Will was a great host. "
5729029,30538770,2015-04-23,30389643,Sam,"Felt very welcome and description accurate. Welcoming musicians living the good life in a natural setting. I asked if the friendly pup could sleep with me and he did! Nice people, nice dogs, just a pleasant place. "
5729029,30814926,2015-04-27,9595896,Mary,"Karen, Will's wife, set up coffee for me to make in the morning. I planned to be up before anyone else, so she put coffee grounds in a cone and had an electric kettle ready to boil water. She also gave me a coffee cup with a lid. That was very nice.
The house was more remote (farther from Slaughter Lane) than I expected, and hard to find after dark. Google maps gave me poor information, but I did find it.
The house doesn't run a/c, or doesn't have it, and that was a hardship, since it was a warm and humid night. I forfeited the payment for two of the nights by going out of town to avoid staying in the hot house.


"
5729029,31958843,2015-05-12,4321124,Sabri,"Will is a really nice person, very welcomin and really fast to answer any of our question or to solve our problems. He cooked us fresh eggs for the breakfast, he gave us the best advice to live the real Austin life. If I have to go back to Austin i will go back to Will's place."
5729029,33320953,2015-05-26,23786721,Meg,Will was very hospitable and it was great waking up to fresh eggs from happy free range hens in the morning. It's a very chill get away.

Everything was exactly as stated. It was quiet and peaceful. We had a wonderful stay with them. While they were busy and the wife was out of town which pretty much left everything to us. We felt very relaxed and at home."
766486,2853617,2012-11-10,3490777,Nicole,"Adorable house in a great location, walking distance from everything on South Congress, but in a cute quiet neighborhood.  Sara was a wonderful host.  I would highly recommend this to everyone!  "
766486,3197638,2012-12-31,782957,Mike,"Loved our stay in Austin and the Travis Heights neighborhood. The house is perfectly located for nearness to South Congress attractions, an easy ride into the city and I-35. Having the greenbelt and nice trails across the street is great. The house is comfortable and spacious enough for a couple or a small family. The beds are exceptional--the best we've encountered outside our own home. The kitchen has just about everything you need for serious cooking, and the gas range is very (website hidden), internet access and audio system worked well. Sara is an accommodating and thoughtful host. We're looking forward to a return visit!"
766486,3452258,2013-02-01,2697933,Jennifer Peel,"Sara's Soco/Travis Heights house is lovely indeed! We (a couple) stayed for a month and a half beginning the first of Jan. The house is located on the edge of the park running through Travis Heights (perfect for a walk or jog), and also right across from the neighbourhood spring-fed swimming pool. It is situated conveniently for both Congress Avenue and Oltorf. The house is cutely and conveniently appointed, including all the necessities, and it put a smile on our faces from the moment we walked though the door; It looks just like the photos. We were super-comfy, and had lots of space to unpack our belongings. The kitchen is huge and has everything you could need. The house also has a large back yard-- It is surprising to look up in the middle of the city and see so many stars!! We slept really great and had nice naps on both beds. Communication with Sara was friendly and timely, and she is a helpful and savvy host, and a kind/cool person. As we had quite a long stay, Sara helped arrange for her cleaners to come while we were there, which was awesome, and one less thing to fuss with. During our stay, we had a lot to get done in Austin, so we needed the roof over our head to be a no-brainer--just to work smoothly and feel homey and relaxing, and it totally did! Recommend!!"
766486,3869771,2013-03-23,1107476,Laura,"Immaculate and charming. Although I have lots of good things to say about Sara's house in Travis Heights, those are the two words that come to mind most.
Warm atmosphere, well-decorated, very nicely appointed, high quality appliances, fabulous location and neighborhood ... these are other words that describe the house.
This was my first Airbnb experience and I was not expecting such a high degree of comfort and delight. Sara is an extremely well organized and thoughtful host.  Instructions and guidelines for guests are concise, clear, and welcoming in tone.
We tried to meet in person the three days  I was there, but our schedules made that impossible. Still, she and I kept in touch through frequent texts. Without going into detail, I will tell you that when she says she is reachable at all hours of the day or night if you need her, she is telling the truth!
I'm a painter and a gardener and I notice and appreciate it when someone else has a good eye and a strong aesthetic sense. Sara does. Being in her lovely space for three days made me very happy.
I'm definitely going back."
766486,4357880,2013-04-30,2151918,Matt,"Sara's bungalow is very nice, clean and in a great location. You can walk to the shops at South Congress. Overall, our stay in Austin was great and I would recommend Sara's place for a place to stay."
766486,5009430,2013-06-07,6197874,Erika,"Sara responded to my request very promptly.  She was courteous, helpful, friendly and available on a moment's notice if I had any question or issue. The house is in great condition, well-maintained and remodeled.  It is a fantastic location for access to everything in the SoCo area and downtown, as well as next to a great pool, park and running trails.  You have the best of both worlds.  I look forward to staying there again soon and highly recommend her home to anyone visiting Austin!!"
766486,5248685,2013-06-20,6645263,Laura,"We stayed at Sara's cottage for 5 nights and had a wonderful time - the location is perfect for exploring Austin and is so conveniently located near the SoCo area and Big Stacy Pool (directly across the street!).  The home is immaculate and beautifully decorated.  Working with Sara was a pleasure - great communication and so responsive.  I would definitely stay at the cottage on a future visit to Austin.  Thanks, Sara - we loved your place!"
766486,6593391,2013-08-18,7525820,Lori,"My stay in Sara's house was perfect. I stayed with my family during almost 10 days. Everything was clean, the garden was very enjoyable and Sara kept in touch with me very often to know if everything was okay. I really recommand Sara as a host."
766486,6842140,2013-08-27,4552315,Emily,Lovely home in a great neighbourhood - would definitely come and stay again! Thanks so much!
766486,6975176,2013-09-01,800779,Carmelita,"Sara was very friendly and everything was easy. House was great, very cozy,  beds very comfortable! Perfect location to walk to all that South Congress has to offer. Beautiful neighbourhood. Would definitely stay again."
766486,7080677,2013-09-05,8326188,Lynette,"Sara's house in Austin is so conveniently located and was absolutely perfect for 3 of us to stay in for a few days. The bedrooms are the same size and very roomy, and we didn't even get to take advantage of the enormous private yard. Sara responded to my messages right away and provides her guests with clear and helpful instructions and recommendations. It was a great first Airbnb experience!"
766486,7971302,2013-10-10,3569549,Ash,"Great little house very conveniently located. Just a short stroll down to all the cool offerings of SoCo and right across the road from a public pool that is free... A great way to cool off on a Summer's day. Nice, quiet neighbourhood, but still close to where you want to be!"
766486,8077516,2013-10-15,1432482,Heather,Sara was so nice and very helpful. I was there for the weekend with my best girlfriend and we really enjoyed the house. We walked to Congress several times. The house was very well decorated and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. 
766486,8338953,2013-10-26,9490492,Dan,The place was really nice.  Great location as well.  I would recommend to anyone.  
766486,8415300,2013-10-29,6961540,Carol,"This was a great location, we walked most places and the drive downtown was brief and a cheap cab ride.
Sara was amazing, very attentive and recommended some great spots for us to enjoy!
I highly recommend this property!"
766486,8715541,2013-11-13,881423,Juliet,"I love staying in Travis Heights when I visit Austin because it's conveniently located just south of downtown and within walking distance of all the great restaurants and shops on South 1st and South Congress, but it's also neighborhood-y and green. Sara's place is a lovely little bungalow that is in fantastic shape -- clean, nice furniture, amenities like a washing machine/dryer and great kitchen, and convenient little touches like hampers in each bedroom for your use. Dealing with Sara was also really straightforward and pleasant. I couldn't recommend staying here more! "
766486,8833648,2013-11-20,3307855,Richard,"Great place in a quiet neighbourhood, walk-able distance to the lively SoCo area where there are plenty of bars and restaurants/food shacks. Downtown is a couple of miles away, a nice walk if you're up for it, or a short cab ride - although ordering a cab in Austin can be a bit tricky, especially during F1. 

Sara is always available via phone/email and everything is well catered for - even condiments in the fridge and candy in the fruit bowl!

Definitely recommended!"
766486,9164732,2013-12-10,9032839,Jacki,"We had such a great time in Austin and having this truly lovely house to come home to was fantastic. Kitchen had everything we needed, very clean, amenities galore, well lighted and comfy.
Easy too. Nice neighborhood. Tried Car2Go, a bit of a hassle but if you're there for 5 days, great!"
766486,9208525,2013-12-13,10483207,Ty,Sara's home was perfect for my family while we were in town. It was very conveniently located off S. Congress and we loved the fact it had a remote operated gated parking. Felt very safe and cozy. Thanks again. 
766486,9526116,2014-01-01,476663,Blake,"The house is very nice and in a great location.  Sara was really quite to response to all communications and left clear instructions about how everything in the house works (TV, sound system, etc).  I'd stay here again."
766486,10420117,2014-02-18,3503020,Ting,"Sara's place was lovely, clean, and a wonderful location! We went for jogs along the river just steps outside the house that were beautiful! Sara was in communication with us the entire time, pre and post-arrival, and checked in to make sure everything was great. The place is wonderful and fully equip with everything you need for a perfect visit to Austin. We highly recommend this spot and are excited to return back to our new favorite city!  "
766486,11449393,2014-04-03,12163811,Aniesa,Sara is a welcoming and gracious host. We had a great stay at her lovely house in Austin. 
766486,11546728,2014-04-07,12906911,Michele,"We enjoyed our stay at Sara's house.  It's in a great location and was clean and nicely decorated.  We had everything we needed and more.  Sara was very friendly and easy to deal with.  She responded quickly to our texts and emails, and her house rules were clear and appropriate.  It was a great deal for what you get.  "
766486,27163702,2015-02-27,9044073,Jiannis,"Really warm and cozy place ... Right next to all the cool restaurant and shopping areas in SoCo avenue. Literally you could walk to these places and the neighborhood is soooo charming and quiet.

The house its self is very well maintained with all the amenities you could possibly want. Sara was an excellent host and i would recommend her to anyone"
766486,27549529,2015-03-07,9278928,Thomas,"Perfection ! Sara is more than helpful, the house is great and the location is amazing. :)"
766486,28299661,2015-03-22,17459413,Jenn,"This home was lovely.  It has a huge yard and is across from a free community pool that is fed with warm fresh spring water.

The images are accurate. Sara managed to find us bikes to rent and the place was super clean and really comfortable.  The house is not really lived in- so everything seems super gently used.  The closets were basically empty and the pantry bare- which meant everything was clean.  But the essentials are there and the grocer is within walking distance. Sara was really accommodating and super responsive.  When we found that the dishwasher was leaking water, she quickly sent someone over to fix it and always let us know when she was coming by.  She had useful tips for food and entertainment.

We had a truly lovely stay.  It's a bit farther from S. Congress than we anticipated (the walk is a bit uphill too), but the neighborhood is comfortable, really nice and super quiet and residential. I would highly recommend staying here."
766486,28731947,2015-03-29,11668439,Steve,Nice place. Spacious house with all the amenities. Good neighborhood.
766486,29725071,2015-04-12,19701958,Laura,"We stayed here during the week of our wedding and had a great experience. Sara was extremely nice to communicate with, very prompt to respond and always so pleasant. The location was great, the neighborhood is lovely to walk in and the house gives easy access to South congress and i-35. Couldn't have asked for better! "
766486,31705913,2015-05-09,4437549,Laura,"Sara was an excellent host and did a great job sharing all of the pertinent information that I needed about the house. The house was beautiful and clean, as described. I loved both the house and the location and feel like it was a great introduction to Austin. "
766486,32374673,2015-05-17,2676013,Emily,The house is perfect for what we needed... Staying with my husband and brother in law for a weekend away. Sara is really helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend! 
766486,33101025,2015-05-25,30487854,Ben,Great house in a great location- couldn't have been happier. Sara made us feel welcome though her warm communication and we so look forward to staying again if she'll have us back!
766486,35515283,2015-06-19,2375385,Carl,Awesome place inside and out. We had a wonderful week at Sara's home and will definitely stay here on our next trip to Austin. 
766486,36235935,2015-06-26,2472798,Gavin,"Great place. Great neighbourhood. Walking distance to SoCo, but you'll want a car to get downtown. Pool across the street is handy."
766486,37533875,2015-07-07,23606340,Tom,"Sara's place is very well located, basic and comfortable.  The kitchen is well supplied.  Two double beds."
766486,38326721,2015-07-14,10182906,Suzanne,House was clean and comfy. Nice aesthetics and a welcome sheet describing amenities. Sara was very responsive to my questions. Community pool across the street and a medium walk to the south congress area. Enjoyed my stay! 
766486,44046187,2015-08-23,39874643,Sheri,Sara made us feel welcome with her communication ahead of time. Great home - we would stay again! 
766486,45841660,2015-09-06,17911097,Michelle,"Had a great time in Austin, aided by staying at this lovely house with two friends. Sara was easy to communicate with and helpful with each response. The house was perfect for our needs. The fully equipped kitchen and free public pool over the street were awesome bonuses. Having access to a washing machine and dryer was also great. Having access to a car is useful in this location, but not essential. My friends and I loved our stay and would definitely come back if we were in town again. "
766486,46337755,2015-09-09,10527536,Christian,"Had a nice time staying at Sara's in Travis Heights. Good location, clean and comfortable place while in Austin. Nice quiet neighborhood. "
766486,46961059,2015-09-14,6415743,Katy,"Sara communicated multiple times prior to our stay to ensure everything was worked out. She even made the house available a bit early per our request. Overall the place was great - good location, clean & comfortable. Easy to get to Soco hot spots, DT, Rainey & airport via car/uber."
766486,47684426,2015-09-21,13511989,Maria,"The host was very helpful and the neighborhood is great. Close drive/longish walk to many cafes etc in South Congress.

The house is cosy with new kitchen but small and lacks a few handy items like hairdryer - so bring your own - and ironing board. One of the small closets was full of baby gear so storage was tight too.

Having to wash and dry two beds of laundry and towels before departure did not give us the final morning we would have liked either, so overall we had mixed feelings."
766486,48593092,2015-09-27,43803969,Joe,The house was clean and extremely well positioned for central Austin. The owner was helpful and very fast to respond to reviews. A very good experience.
766486,48992726,2015-09-30,37380066,Stephen,"We did not meet Sara in person but communication was friendly and professional.  The house was very nicely situated opposite a small park which had a public open air swimming pool and a 12 min walk to Magnolia Café in South Congress Avenue which is open 24 hours.  Further along are other shops and restaurants catering for all tastes.  The house is beautifully maintained and caters for all needs with WiFi, washer, dryer, dish washer etc, superb air conditioning which we needed as it was up to 35C, very warm!  Just a note that the owner requires the beds to be stripped and sheets, towels washed and dried before leaving.  So be aware if you have an early flight. "
766486,50528944,2015-10-12,15178276,Taryn,"Sara's home was the perfect place for our long weekend in Austin- very clean and spacious! Great location, right near S Congress. Sara was a very helpful and accommodating host! The house was exactly as described and more! Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Sara!"
766486,51023676,2015-10-17,21887607,Fred,Very cute and clean cottage perfectly situated off the SoCo corridor. Great communication from the owner throughout the process. Nice stay!
766486,51773168,2015-10-24,33295055,Elizabeth,"Sara did a great job of covering all the essential information about the house both before we arrived and with a comprehensive document in the home. The house was as described and very clean. The kitchen is equipped with the basics and there are quite a few baby items - including a high chair - which was very helpful to us. Sara is also very responsive and helpful via email. Great, host, house and neighborhood!"
934074,3782176,2013-03-14,1186731,Stanislav,"We stayed at Mark's guesthouse during SXSW2013 and it was the best choice we made during the conference!

The house is both beautiful and comfortable. It is finely decorated and the main bed is so fantastic that now I want to buy these sheets. House is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood, not far from city center.

Mark was very hospitable and was trying to enhance every detail of our stay.

Thank you, Mark & Monica! It was my first experience with Airbnb and it was amazing!"
934074,3863738,2013-03-22,3588106,Rachel,"Our experience at Mark & Monica's guesthouse was second to none! The space itself was as gorgeous as it was comfortable. Mark & Monica clearly take pride in their property and really work to think through every possible need and comfort. We were want for nothing! That said, Mark & Monica themselves were gracious and lovely hosts who went above and beyond to enhance our stay. I will be recommending this place to anyone traveling to the Austin area. I hope to someday return myself. Thank you, Mark & Monica, for sharing your artistry with us -- couldn't be happier with our experience! "
934074,3934002,2013-03-28,2749794,Alejandro,"This house is great and located in an awesome tranquil neighborhood full of trees. 
Mark & Monica's where very attentive and unnoticeable, considering that the rental is in the backyard of their home. 
They have excellent taste and you can see that in the design of their apartment. We enjoyed a lot their property."
934074,3986913,2013-04-01,5523296,Sean,"Our stay here was great. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Very nice, clean and quiet. Bed was super comfortable. "
934074,4079632,2013-04-08,5382022,Bethany,"We so enjoyed our stay at this lovely little guest house!  The hosts were wonderful, and the location was so ideal.  The living space and small kitchen is extraordinarily efficient, delightfully modern, and had everything we needed.  We even loved the packs of maple oatmeal and espresso options the hosts had ready for us.  Access and parking was very convenient.  Our children enjoyed the space inside and outside surroundings very much, but we had to be mindful of our youngest daughter occasionally trying to escape up the loft ladder (easily closed off by a door, so it wasn't a big problem).  This was my first experience booking through AirBnB, and I couldn't be more pleased.  I highly recommend it for a great way to enjoy Austin!"
934074,4294147,2013-04-25,2505575,Casey,"Awesome guest house in quiet hyde park!  We definitely enjoyed our stay.  One of the neighbors had a loud party on saturday night, and Mark took care of it."
934074,4323826,2013-04-28,5417011,Bradley,Mark and Monica were incredibly helpful and the place was beautiful. As advertised and then some. 
934074,4381349,2013-05-01,441220,Annalea,I just returned from 3 nights at Mark & Monica's perfect guest house in Austin and I loved it. Mark & Monica were excellent hosts throughout the booking and our stay. The house is exactly as the photos here reflect. The bed and bedding are wonderful! The location in Hyde Park is central enough to easily access all of Austin. I couldn't have asked for a better stay and will certainly stay here again on a future trip. 
934074,4596523,2013-05-14,5669333,Sylvia,"Beautiful space in a lovely well located neighborhood. Lots of tasteful touches enhanced the whole experience.  Mark and Monica were welcoming and warm. Though near the main house, the guest house felt private and was very comfortable.  Especially beautiful was a huge tree in the courtyard.  The bed, as advertised, was primo.  This is our first airbnb experience and it sets an extremely high bar."
934074,4689710,2013-05-20,5626969,Karen,"This guesthouse is perfect - it's beautifully furnished, private, and comfortable in every way.  It was just what I was looking for for my weekend away from home.  I truly enjoyed my stay. The hosts were very accommodating and gracious, and almost invisible the whole weekend!  The location is ideal, walking distance to several restaurants, grocery store, and a golf course with a trail around it for walking or jogging.  It's just a few minutes away from downtown as well.  Very cool architecturally!!"
934074,4790955,2013-05-26,4510204,Chelsea And Damien,"Mark & Monica's pad was the perfect vacation-cottage, homebase for our sophomore trip to Austin from NYC. The smart blend of cozy-meets-modern matched our 
aesthetic and proved to be exactly the oasis we needed each night after excitedly exploring the bounty Austin has to offer. They accommodated our early check-in, left a thorough yet personal handy ""home guide"" (including info on the house & recommendations and maps to their local haunts), gave immediate attention to any concerns, and left us confidently to our own devices. A wonderful experience start to finish."
934074,4956766,2013-06-03,6509688,Stan,"Mark and Monica have great taste! Their casita is thoughtfully laid out and suitable for any length of stay. Hyde Park is a cozy, quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. I definitely recommend a visit!"
934074,5155516,2013-06-15,6885185,Scott,Simply the greatest experience I've had traveling for business.  Will stay again and again.
934074,5278126,2013-06-22,6494334,Alexander,"Mark and Monica's sweet little Casa on Avenue H is simply outstanding. On our recent four night stay in Austin, we found it to be tastefully appointed and generously provisioned, with a very comfortable bedroom and a spacious living room. Quiet, cool (very important in the hot Austin summer), and private, the Casa's location in charming Hyde Park made it an ideal retreat for us. A great place to just hang out and a convenient home base close to downtown and UT that still feels like it's worlds away. Mark and Monica are warm and generous hosts and are also completely unobtrusive. We know Austin well, and the Casa experience is far superior to trendy spots like the San Jose. It will be our ""go to"" accomodation for our travels to Austin from now on."
934074,5889742,2013-07-21,7008304,Cybelle,Mark & Monica were great hosts. They have a lovely guesthouse in a great neighborhood. Couldn't ask for more.
934074,6117751,2013-07-30,3992221,Tim,"What a great place to stay.  Just the right size for a couple or three people to stay, as well as to entertain a small group of family or friends in the living room.  Our son and his girlfriend live only several blocks away, so the location was perfect them to swing on over.   There's a floor to ceiling glass window that looks out over an attractively landscaped backyard area.  The surrounding leafy neighborhood (Hyde Park) is lovely, with a variety of well-kept homes that are pleasing to the eye.  Just three blocks to some cafes, eateries and a great grocery story, and the 18 to 20 minute walk to the UT campus, with all that it offers, is very pleasant.  Easily a three-person stay, as long as the third person who stays doesn't mind going up the ladder and nestles into the cozy loft area.  The loft is part of and overlooks the bedroom.    We talked to Mark over the phone a couple of times, and he responded right away to any questions or requests.  Otherwise, Mark and Monica, who live in the main house on the same property, kept out of the way, making it feel like we had the place all to ourselves.  Thanks for making our first trip to Austin a most memorable one!"
934074,7087813,2013-09-05,5647930,Michael,"What a fantastic guesthouse...we loved it!!! Mark & Monica were fabulous...the check-in, stay, and check-out went exactly as planned...we felt like we were at home, the neighborhood is (email hidden)n't know if a bottle of wine is standard, but Mark left us one and we truly appreciate it...my daughter loved the loft bed...just a great place to stay if you are in Austin, close to just about everything...we highly recommend Mark & Monica and we will be staying here again..."
934074,7196326,2013-09-10,4797359,Bree,"Our stay at the Casa Cravotta was exceptional.  The guesthouse is a cool, quiet oasis in the middle of the city.  We found it to be comfortable, super clean and impeccably designed - like staying in the pages of Elle Decor.

Mark & Monica were welcoming and helpful but never intrusive.  We loved walking around the neighborhood - the Cheese Shop and the little Hyde Park Market were great.

Cannot recommend this place more.  We'll definitely be back."
934074,7621456,2013-09-27,7534765,Christine,"My parents stayed in this lovely guesthouse and enjoyed the location, accommodations, and helpful feedback from the owners.  Thank you!"
934074,7948590,2013-10-09,8661837,Monica,"Oh my goodness, what a lovely place. It felt like (very, very pretty) monastic quarters, especially with the Buddha statue in the front. Monica and Mark were very responsive and helpful, even though I never got to meet them; the entire process was smooth from beginning to end. And I don't know what their bedsheets were made of!?--but it felt like sleeping in buttercream!"
934074,8070603,2013-10-14,327992,Jamie,"I enjoyed my stay in Mark & Monica's beautiful guest house!
It is an architecturally fun, well-appointed, aesthetically pleasing, luxurious, comfortable, and an exceedingly tranquil suite and environment. 
All you may need otherwise is within walking distance such as a bakery with tasty homemade treats and coffee, and delicious restaurants. 
I hope to stay again as a meditative retreat."
934074,8283936,2013-10-23,9292480,Mckenzie,"We had a perfect stay at Mark & Monica's guesthouse. The place is stylish and comfortable and the bed is amazing! That mattress, those sheets...! Mark gave us great suggestions on where to eat, shop and explore. The welcome bottle of wine had me sold on day one. Would definitely stay again. "
934074,8686062,2013-11-12,3011406,Ellie,"Beautiful space, Mark and Monica have created a piece of art. Love the Hyde Park neighborhood and the ability to walk to the great restaurants and cute bakery/coffee shop down the road, I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin!"
934074,9981605,2014-01-22,8781941,Jessica,"Mark & Monica were great hosts from beginning to end.  They were quick to respond and super helpful when I was trying to book a place last minute.  The guest apt is quiet, comfortable, beautifully decorated and in a great part of town.  I would stay here again and recommend to any of my friends.  Thanks, Mark and Monica!"
934074,10276527,2014-02-10,11461411,Julian,"We had an excellent stay at Mark and Monica's guesthouse.  Mark was very attentive to our needs and was extremely responsive to all requests.
Location-wise it's a quick (5-10 min) drive to downtown, yet felt like tranquil suburbia (so quiet!).  The guesthouse was super-clean and well equipped with a small kitchenette with the essentials.
Overall, a great first experience with airbnb.. would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a base to explore Austin and surrounds."
934074,10395433,2014-02-17,316598,Franny,"A clean, contemporary space with good amenities. Lovely backyard space that can serve as a living room, in addition to the living area inside the loft. The hosts were cordial and professional. We very much enjoyed our stay! "
934074,10604626,2014-02-27,9816627,Pat,"Beautiful, quiet, serene environment tastefully decorated.  We enjoyed our time at the guesthouse.  Mark and Monica are great hosts and very responsive to questions.  The location is very close to great eating and coffee establishments and Hyde Park is a beautiful part of Austin.   "
934074,10979783,2014-03-16,3470205,Christian,"Our stay at Mark and Monica's place was really great. 
Everything was easy and straight forward; from the correspondence to the check in - Mike and Monica took good care of us and we can nothing but recommend their little guest house. Even though we did not get a chance to meet, our hosts checked in on us every now and then to make sure everything was alright.

Big ups for the wifi, nespresso coffee and the ice cold beer in the fridge. 

Only minor complaint I have is that the sofa is not meant for sleeping. My colleague did manage to sleep on it, but it sure wasn't as good as the queen sized bed and extra mattress in the bed room. So I would say this place is not for groups of three - but we kind of knew that at the time of booking. 

Again, we really enjoyed our stay in this really quiet neighborhood. It comes highly recommended. "
934074,11133925,2014-03-22,899117,Mary,"What a wonderful little guest house. I felt very much at home. You thought of all the things one or two travelers might need during a stay. The location is perfect; I could walk to Quacks for coffee, shop at the mmaarket and had dinner at Julios one night."
934074,11250993,2014-03-26,12363649,Stefan,"Absolutely wonderful place. Photos (great as they are) don't do it justice. Everything was superb. Wish we had gotten to meet Mark and Monica, but our schedules didn't align."
934074,11403151,2014-04-01,12158569,(email hidden),"Lovely cozy and well appointed cottage.  Stayed here with my daughter (student at UT) and we loved it.  

Very quiet neighborhood, close to UT and the main bus lines and some cute restaurants.  Cozy bed and very clean and beautifully detailed rooms.  

Fun cruiser bicycles with locks that we borrowed to ride to brunch.

I have recommended this listing to the UT Parent's Community and we would love to stay here again in the future."
934074,11515182,2014-04-06,1477773,Alix,"We definitely enjoyed our stay in the guesthouse.  It was spacious enough for 2 people and very nicely furnished.  (Because there are some breakable art pieces, this rental would probably not be ideal for small children.)  The kitchen was quite small, but functional, and we mainly just used the fridge, tea kettle, and microwave.  We found the photos to be representative of the apartment, but the bathroom could have been cleaner and more updated (mold/mildew on shower doors and shower stall was a pretty cramped).  The delicious coffee and free wifi were a welcome bonus, and we loved the Hyde Park location, which was close to the 7 bus and a Zipcar rental.  

Unfortunately, we never had a chance to meet our hosts, but Mark was very responsive via email, and kindly allowed us to check in earlier and leave later.  Personally, I felt a bit awkward walking past the main house through the yard to the guesthouse without ever meeting them, since they were home while we were there.  However, there were very respectful of our privacy and never intruded, so guests who want lots of privacy will appreciate that in this space.  One thing to note is that the apartment has tons of full length windows (great light!), but we mainly kept the blinds shut since they face right into the main house.  The closet is in the living room, so when dressing, you have to walk past the glass front door to get to the bedroom.  It was not a big deal for us, but it may be for others.

Overall, I'd definitely recommend staying here for the quiet location and nice neighborhood.

934074,11607751,2014-04-08,312834,Matthew,"The guesthouse is amazing! The hosts keep to themselves mostly which is fine. Tranquil, very clean and incredibly decorated!  The towels, linens and pillows were soft and perfect. Not to mention the fantastic mattress that instantly put us to sleep.  There is a cute coffee shop within walking distance (5-10min).  The neighborhood is lovely and quiet but also within 10-15 min of downtown.  We would definitely stay at this place again and would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit a real Austin neighborhood!"
934074,11755704,2014-04-14,13200636,Tammi,"Great accommodations and great location. Although we did not meet Mark & Monica, they did check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely stay here again1"
934074,12865508,2014-05-12,15124854,Lanny,"As our first airbnb experience, I don't think we could have asked for anything more! The guest house was beautiful, eclectic, and extremely cozy and comfortable. The bed was amazing, and the whole place was filled with interesting objects and useful appliances like an LED touch lamp, or Nescafe' espresso maker, not to mention the beautiful antique oriental rugs.. The Hyde park neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, and the gentle swishing of the leaves of the trees overhead, and the chirping of birds could only stir happy feelings. The hosts were very kind, and were more than willing to answer any question.."
934074,13546630,2014-05-30,15380447,Joel,Mark was a great host.  We experienced a few problems with the wireless and ipod player upon arriving but Mark was very responsive and solved the issues.  All was working well for the rest of our stay. Overall a very pleasant experience.  Nice comfortable bed and small kitchen with two burners that were adequate for breakfast or snack.  Guesthouse is behind main house and very dark at night so it would have been helpful to have a sensor light to show the pathway.  Please note that there is no TV which we would have preferred and just failed to notice in the listing.  We made do with out ipad radio apps. 
934074,14085116,2014-06-11,14838830,Kate,"Mark and Monica were incredible hosts! Their little cottage was the perfect home-away-from-home while I was in town for five days of work. Located in a beautiful residential neighborhood, and tucked away down a little pebbled walkway, their guesthouse has everything you need, all carefully considered and well-appointed. Every morning, I woke up to the coo of the doves outside the windows and the beautiful sunlight pouring in. Loved the refrigerator disguised in its beautiful wood chest, the vintage Moroccan rugs, the cool concrete floor after being out in the Texan sun all day and, of course, the very comfortable bed. Listened to the supplied iPod one evening while working from the couch and found myself wishing all work nights could be as relaxing.

Mark was always quick to both respond to any questions and react to any issues (though there really weren't any of either!). Would love to stay here again upon my next trip to Austin. Was my first airbnb experience and it absolutely made me rethink hotels completely. "
934074,15432238,2014-07-08,8585022,Joyce,"We enjoyed our stay in this delightful retreat. It is well designed with plenty of natural light, an amazingly efficient kitchenette, and a comfortable arrangement of spaces and furniture. And very quiet, except for the occasional drop of an acorn from the stately Oak in the courtyard. With a son in Austin, we look forward to staying here again."
934074,17784469,2014-08-17,10672693,Rachael,"Mark and Monica's gem of a casita was just perfect for our brief stay. They are excellent hosts, and made our booking process smooth and easy. Their unique guesthouse is furnished with beautiful goods from all over the world and has exquisite natural light. It feels like staying in a little Ritz Carlton. 

I highly recommend this place for couples looking for a little romantic retreat in one of Austin's most classic neighborhoods. "
934074,18402983,2014-08-26,16255924,Rob,"Wonderfully appointed guesthouse in a very walkable neighborhood near UT campus.  Solved the problem of how to spend quiet time with your college student somewhere other than a hotel room.  Mark and Monica were friendly, welcoming and responsive without hovering. Top of our list next visit!
"
934074,18904429,2014-09-02,19665517,Laura,Totally enjoyed our stay at the Cravotta Casita.  Location is fantastic!!  Lots of options for Breakfast/Lunch and Dinner just 3  blocks away - walking distance through the great neighborhood.  Quiet and very attractive!!
934074,20520639,2014-09-30,20905604,Arthur,"Choosing to stay at Mark and Monica's Casita for our visit to Austin was one of the best decisions for our Austin trip. Although we didn't formally meet our hosts, we were able to see a glimpse of their personality by way of their elegant interior design, furnishings, and Mark's prompt responses to any questions we had. They were extremely accommodating, and went above and beyond what we could ask for. My girlfriend especially appreciated that the Casita was stocked with natural and organic products. Mark also made some excellent restaurant recommendations which made our trip even more memorable. Thank you for the amazing hospitality! The Casita will always be remembered as one experience that made our Austin trip unique and unforgettable. "
934074,21223173,2014-10-13,3902691,Yoon,"This is a fantastic loft in a conveniently located quiet neighborhood 10 minutes from downtown Austin. The space is absolutely beautiful, better than any high-end hotel suite for the amount of space, quality of bed & bedding, cleanliness of the bathroom, and light. We particularly loved the Bluetooth speakers you can connect your iPhone to, speedy internet, and nice, thick, soft towels. I cannot recommend this place more."
934074,22018750,2014-10-28,7577548,Bruno,"My long stay at the Casita (2 weeks) was great! It's a beautiful and comfortable place in a very quiet and green neighborhood, but with some commerce and restaurants at walking distance (3 blocks), and just a 5 mns bike ride from UT campus.
Mark and Monica were great hosts, always discreet, but also available to answer my questions and to help.
  "
934074,22355432,2014-11-04,19161095,Janet,"We enjoyed staying at the Cravotta casita so much that with a daughter living in Austin we hope to make it our ""go to"" spot for future lodging and lounging. The guesthouse had everything that one could ask for and called to mind an apt that we rented in Paris with it's compact and efficient kitchen and bathroom. 
Great light from the many windows, artfully furnished living areas and roomy bedroom. The bed is gorgeous and very comfortable! We were awakened several times during the nights with large acorns falling on the metal roof. With that comfy of a bed though we fell right back to sleep, so it wasn't a problem for us. 
Thoughtful touches included a starting supply of bottled water in the fridge and organic shower products in the bathroom. 
We loved the family friendly neighborhood that was perfect for walking to the coffee shop and grocery. 
Our hosts were fast to respond and we will definitely look forward to staying here again in our future Austin visits."
934074,22533635,2014-11-09,21873022,Labe,"This one-bedroom, with double bed and single sleeping loft in the same bedroom, was extremely well decorated, well-designed, and well-maintained.  The casita was spotless with a nice living room, nice lighting, and a nice feel.  Of course, there is no privacy for a couple if your child is sleeping in the loft.  There was a working espresso machine which was a nice touch. And the kitchen was well equipped even though we did not use it.  The neighborhood is beautiful with restaurants within walking distance. Parking is easy.  This place earns an easy ""A"" grade. "
934074,24795232,2015-01-02,3639945,Tammer,"Absolutely fantastic place. Very cool, quiet immediate neighborhood, but in very close proximity to a very happening area. The casita is clean and contemporary and very comfortable. Mark & Monica made everything very clear and easy. Highly recommend the place"
934074,25820607,2015-01-26,16702852,Steven,My wife's and my stay at Mark and Monica's casita was incredible. The place was clean and very well put together. It's in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to anything from grocery stores to cafés and coffee shops. It made for a perfect way to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. 
934074,26229717,2015-02-07,9016731,Tien-Tien,"The Casita is located behind Mark and Monica's house.  It's so cute and incredibly well-done. It is cozy but they did a good job utilizing the space.  The host gives you privacy while still making you feel comfortable to ask questions - Mark came by to give us a lesson on using the high tech lights =)

The neighborhood is very low key but the main drag of Hyde Park (a few shops and restaurants) is only a couple blocks away. "
934074,27250728,2015-03-01,9816627,Pat,This is our third time at the casita.  Mark continues to upgrade what is already a wonderful place to stay.  The neighborhood is also picture perfect. 
934074,27801919,2015-03-12,15554182,Karen,The guest house was very comfortably furnished and the location is great.  We walked to dinner at Asti's one evening...it's terrific.  
934074,28465798,2015-03-24,10783758,Robin,Super nice house in a beautiful neighborhood. Mark & Monica were very helpful and the bikes that we could lent made our stay during SXSW truly unforgettable!
934074,28671514,2015-03-28,13983802,Mehran,"Communication was straightforward and simple.  The neighborhood is very comfortable and is a good reflection of a typical Austin neighborhood.  The Casita is beautifully decorated and has a ton of charm.  The location is great, however to get downtown you would need to drive or have a bike, which  is typical of Austin anyhow. 

The place is just north of the University of Texas campus and a 5 minute drive to downtown.  There are also some really cool restaurants and cafes which are in walking distance of the place. 

Overall experience was great would be happy to stay there again."
934074,28904541,2015-03-31,3351378,Mac,"We really loved staying at Mark's casita. It is a bit of zen in the middle of bustling Austin. The neighborhood is very walkable. The casita is wonderfully appointed, and we had everything we needed. Enjoyed taking naps in the loft. Mark introduced himself when we ran into him, and was very helpful when we had questions. We will be back!"
934074,29687377,2015-04-11,1685078,Joe,"The location is ideal. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, with unique restaurants and shops within walking distance; yet the main highway is only minutes away if you want to go into the city.

The guest cottage is very quaint. The decor is tasteful and the furniture is comfortable. A cute kitchenette with small appliances is a nice bonus. The bathroom and the shower stall are a bit cramped, and much of the floor is concrete. We would stay here again, though, and just bring slippers.
"
934074,30562187,2015-04-24,29472172,Mary,"This was the first visit to Austin for both my husband and myself. We were delighted to arrive at Casita H after a day of travel. The accommodations were perfect for us and we felt instantly at home. The layout, cleanliness and comfort enhanced the pleasure of our Austin experience immensely. We look forward to another opportunity to stay there."
934074,30809876,2015-04-27,496868,Anne,"This was my first Airbnb stay where the hosts lived on the property and it was great.  We had an opportunity to meet and see each other from time to time over the weekend.  The Hyde Park Casita is exactly as described:  very attractive, great location, great bed, beautiful neighborhood.  We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Austin and our stay at the Casita."
934074,31829288,2015-05-10,23126457,Kirat,"We had a great time staying at Monica and Mark's guest house!

The place is well furnished and we had complete privacy. 10/10 would stay again. "
934074,49099193,2015-10-01,2416357,Sarah,"This charming casita was all it appears to be and more.  I stayed here two and half months, and felt at home immediately upon arrival and throughout my stay.  The space designed beautifully and efficiently, and Mark and Monica were lovely hosts- available and friendly while respecting privacy. 

If I could have moved in permanently I would have.  Even as a local, I hope to enjoy a ""staycation"" in this lovely space again.  If you're visiting Austin and would like a haven home-base, the Chic Hyde Park Casita is your gem.

"
934074,50525618,2015-10-12,34474725,Brian,"This casita was everything I hoped for and more. Located in a great neighborhood in Austin, this was the perfect place to stay during my recent visit to there. The place was beautiful, clean, and extremely convenient. We were welcomed by our hosts with a hand written note. Communication between the hosts and I was always quick and they took care of our every need. I highly recommend anyone to stay here when visiting Austin!"
934074,52157467,2015-10-26,30582390,Phil,"Mark - Thanks so much for opening your pleasant and simple yet tastefully appointed Casita - it was a delightful stay in spite of the rainy weather, we rested well and thoroughly enjoyed hearing the rain on the metal roof! Thanks for the Nespresso and French press and other essentials - we hope to make your Airbnb a frequent stay during our qtrly visit to my sons home in Hyde Park when he can't accommodate 5 guests - thanks again, Phil & Liz Staples"
4994528,27622402,2015-03-08,20626187,Mike,"Love this place! We enjoyed our trip in Austin thanks to Adam. The pictures of the location is exactly like how it is in person. The studio apartment was cozy enough for three guys to sleep in. Adam is super nice and very accommodating to our needs such as borrowing an ironing board/iron, coffee filters, and a blow-up mattress. Thanks for hosting us, Adam! We hope to request this location again if we ever get back to Austin for a visit. "
4994528,28348070,2015-03-22,7450417,Josh,"This is a SUPER spacious and beautiful studio in a fantastic neighborhood. Adam is an amazing host, he walked me through all the amenities and provided a detailed list with all the info you could possibly need (WiFi password, nearby public transit, cool things to see and do nearby, etc.) to make your stay the best.

The unit is extremely private. It's over Adam's garage so noise from you or him is not an issue. It has its own entrance and is on a quiet alley way. Super scenic and lots of natural light!

The neighborhood is a short drive/bike ride to South Congress, Rainey St. and the lake. Amazing location! 

I come to Austin from Dallas often for work and for fun and I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you Adam for providing such an awesome space and for being such a gracious host!"
4994528,29222392,2015-04-05,7171431,Casey,"We loved staying at Adams studio. It's located in a really great position, walking distance to South Congress Street and other great places. Adam have us a list of his picks for the city too, which was pretty much spot on! The studio itself felt brand new - it was huge, the bed was so comfy and the shower was a dream. 
Would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
4994528,29475528,2015-04-07,6167172,Nick,Very comfortable and clean.  I would highly recommend it!
4994528,30343303,2015-04-20,4931819,Emily,"Adam's private apartment was just as listed. It was excellent: everything was clean and new and comfortable. Nice light, too! We had our own separate entrance. Though we didn't see him, Adam made us feel welcome; he provided great recommendations for Austin, left milk and coffee, and answered immediately when we had a question about arriving. 

Travis Heights is a lovely residential neighborhood. Peaceful, pretty, quiet. Note that it's better to have a car here since it's a mile walk to SoCo and the nearest bars/restaurants/shared bike stands. "
4994528,30472165,2015-04-22,8234188,Adrien,"Everything was great. Bed was excellent, house was immaculately clean, quite neighborhood. Parking is not a problem at all and very close to South Congress. Looking forward to the next time. Adam was very responsive as well which made things seamless."
4994528,30801694,2015-04-27,21060160,Cindy,"This was a great place to stay in Austin.  Close to downtown, to Rainey St. and not far from the airport.  The place is really great! Clean! Quiet! Comfortable!  Safe! Adam was extremely professional, responsive and kind, but most importantly, trustworthy.  The place was as described.
Other than a little thunder and lightening in the middle of the night the visit to Austin was awesome, due in large part to this reasonably priced and terrific airbnb rental.  Thank you, Adam!
"
4994528,31279985,2015-05-03,3921106,Devon,"Adam's studio was perfect! Everything was clean, bright, convenient, and exactly as described. The neighborhood was beautiful and centrally located - we were able to walk to and from dinner (something we can't do often at home). Adam was kind and responsive - he met us when we arrived and was readily available if there were any issues, but there weren't. Highly recommended for any visitors to Austin!"
4994528,31847754,2015-05-10,32525491,Kathryn,"The listing couldn't have been better. The space was clean, welcoming, convenient and better than described. The neighborhood was just right as well and about a 5 minute walk to Congress, the river and other attractions. I would highly recommend staying here for any type of visit to Austin and can't say enough good things about how helpful and kind Adam was! "
4994528,32221633,2015-05-15,33243012,Samantha,"We had a great stay! The loft was perfect for my husband, my self and our three month old. Adam was a great host, we will stay again if we are back in Austin! Thanks Adam."
4994528,47006176,2015-09-14,15605667,Jonathan,Loved our weekend spent at Adam's apartment. Everything was as described. Unit is in a residential area walking distance from the action of SoCo. Very well furnished and modern. Adam was very welcoming and provided lots of recommendations and other tips prior to our arrival. Would definitely recommend to others.
4994528,47743851,2015-09-21,17515245,Hideki,"I traveled with my wife and my 6 months old baby to Austin and stayed at Adam´s place, we are so glad that we booked his brand new renovated apt, it was just what we needed. We were surprised with the open space and how clean everything was. I would definetely book with him again in the future, he was also very fast at answering questions or messages. Of course we need to mention that the location was perfect, just a few minutes driving from South Congress ave, Downtown, etc.
Don´t think too much, book this place now!!

4994528,52044346,2015-10-26,880330,Marcia,"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Adams garage apartment during the F1 race in Austin. It was very clean,  nicely decorated with attractive, contemorary furniture. The mattress was wonderfully comfortable! It was fairly easy to get around. The neighborhood is lovely and makes for an enjoyable stroll to So. Congress or even Downtown if you like to walk. Unfortunately there was an enormous amount of rain when we were there so we also used hired transportation. Thank you, Adam.

6995128,37406101,2015-07-06,37000307,Paul,"Collin the host was extremely accommodating, as first time air bnb users we were unsure of what to expect when using air bnb but Collin made everything so easy with texting and calling whenever we needed anything or had a question. Upon arriving there was a piece of paper with instructions for wifi, how to work the Netflix, all the amenities in the house.
The location is absolutely amazing for visiting Austin Texas. So unbelievably close to the heart and fun of downtown but perfectly secluded as to not be disturbed by the hustle and bustle. With a gas station/Convienient store right next door and a liquor store across the street this is the perfect location for a family vacation or a weekend of getting together with friends. I would highly recommend renting Collins house to any of my friends or family visiting the lovely Austin Texas. "
6995128,42080682,2015-08-10,6862365,Janessa,"My cousin and I met Colin briefly when we checked in. He is very easy going  and a generous host. His space is comfortable and clean with a lot of charm. The location was great, we were able to walk downtown, to south congress street, and even to Barton Springs. Almost everywhere else in the city was a quick uber away. "
6995128,43414225,2015-08-19,39969927,Linda,"This was a 2-bedroom apartment in a complex with lots of trees, set back off South Congress.  It was secluded and quiet. The apartment is charming, decorated in an eclectic urban Texas style. Our host made us feel welcome with an annotated map of Austin and complimentary wine. We enjoyed it and would definitely stay there again."
6995128,49794896,2015-10-06,38409944,Jason,Our experience at Collin's place was great. We came out for ACL and his place was located perfectly. Not too close to the madness and not too far. Collin was very easy to communicate with. The place had all the amenities needed and would recommend his place. 
6995128,51352103,2015-10-19,18157456,Zoë,"The location was AWESOME and the apartment was in impeccable shape. Was perfect for the four of us and just a quick walk or extremely cheap uber to everywhere in the city. Collin was so helpful and accommodating and if/when I come back to Austin, I'll be sure to try and book this place again!"
4417363,23186921,2014-11-24,23045434,Brady And Celestine,Thanks for a great time Patty! I am thankful for such a wonderful and exciting first Airbnb experience. Thanks for making it a success. The house was easy to find and accessible to many main interstates. Would definitely stay again. 
4417363,25130383,2015-01-07,23044721,Ariel,Patty responded quickly to all of my questions and was a pleasure to deal with.  The cottage was indeed charming.
3643107,18848181,2014-09-01,6410219,Benjamin,"Darryl's Cherrywood Retreat is very well-named: it's a perfect retreat in Austin, within easy reach of the rest of the city, but far enough away to have a relaxed air. The room is wonderfully situated, with a nice view of the creek--which is perfect for walking a dog.

Above all, the word that comes to mind when thinking about this Airbnb is ""welcoming,"" with ""homey"" a close second: Darryl and Doris opened their house to us and really made us feel like guests. And while they were always available to talk or get advice, they also gave us plenty of space.

A great retreat, a great pair of hosts for Austin--and I look forward to staying there with them again!"
3643107,19354014,2014-09-10,19914910,Nicole,"Darryl and Doris are awesome hosts!  They are really interesting people to talk to and full of great recommendations on places to go in Austin.  

The house is situated in a lovely little neighborhood, conveniently located just off the highway (before the traffic starts to get bad!) and right one of my favorite coffee shops (Cherrywood Coffee) and restaurants (Eastside Cafe) in Austin.

I've stayed with them a few times and they've always been really wonderful. Highly recommend!"
3643107,20711181,2014-10-04,3219395,Sarah,"Darryl was a fantastic host who went out of his way to make sure that my boyfriend and I were taken care of, despite our late arrival due to airline delays. He had a delicious sandwich waiting for us in the fridge and made it super easy for us to get into our room without disturbing him. Plus, his recommendation of the Cherrywood Coffeehouse is spot on. Enjoyed my brief stay in Austin and would definitely recommend Darryl's home to Austin travelers."
3643107,21145000,2014-10-12,3955676,David,Everything was perfect! We had a problem with the plane so we were late but Darryl and Doris were very comprehensive. The room was awesome and we felt like home.
3643107,21935967,2014-10-26,430695,Grace,"My boyfriend was scheduled to perform as AndyRoo at Cherrywood Cafe last Sunday, and we thought we'd be able to book a hotel room upon arrival in Austin. We didn't count on every single hotel in Austin under $900/night being booked solid due to a home football game. Fortunately, when I searched AirBnB for any possible last-minute options, I found Darryl's listing -- he was very accommodating and responded quickly with all the information we needed to check in and access the room, which was incredibly helpful since we were arriving late on a Saturday night. The room was comfortable, and the house was incredibly close to the gig, so we got lucky in both availability and location. Darryl was even kind enough to give us a little discount on the booking! Next time we're in town for a show, we'll definitely stay here (and book in advance!)."
3643107,22298430,2014-11-03,3493749,Niki & Veronica,"My wife and I were really glad we chose to stay with Darryl and Doris. They made us feel completely welcome in their home, free to use as if it were our own. The guest room which we used was very comfortable and quite a bit larger than I thought it would be based on pictures, and it was nice having our own bathroom to use. Their home is conveniently located near to all sorts of great restaurants and coffee shops as well.  And Darryl and Doris were delightful hosts that were a pleasure to chat with. Highly recommended if you're looking to stay in the area!"
3643107,22566963,2014-11-09,23353936,Frank,"The room was big and the bed comfortable. The location was close to the city and several restaurants. Glad we were able to bring our two small dogs.
    Saw the host once on arrival,but never again. My past Air BnB experiences were very different. I would have asked advice on what to see and do,but was never able to do that. I'm not a neat freak,but the bathroom could have used a little more attention. The living room sofas need to be replaced.But other then that, it was okay value for the cost."
3643107,23090062,2014-11-22,1115442,Andrew,Daryl is a wonderful host and very flexible with arrival time. I have stayed here twice with my girlfriend and the room is very comfortable. Very close to Cherrywood Coffeehouse and other places. The street is very quiet with plenty of parking. I highly recommend staying here.
3643107,27772103,2015-03-11,7725569,Greg,"I was in Austin for a week of work and had a fabulous time staying with Darryl and Doris, who were the perfect hosts. They went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable and had everything that I needed. When I needed some privacy to work, they were very respectful of that. When I wanted to sit down and hang out with them either at home or at the fantastic local coffee house, they were warm and welcoming. The house itself is located in a beautiful little enclave of greenery; very peaceful and picturesque surrounds with a multitude of wildlife around - racoons, squirrels, possums and great bird life. Close enough to town to be convenient, far enough out to be away from the madding crowd. There are plenty of great places to eat nearby (within leisurely walking distance), a big supermarket and of course the fantastic Cherrywood Coffee House which is an excellent place to while away the hours, or indeed take up a position and use as an office for the day with their free wifi and fine coffee. The bedroom is lovely with a luxuriously comfortable big bed. And as the pictures show in the listing, when the curtains are open, the aspect is truly beautiful. Those same curtains block out all the light though, so you will get an excellent night's sleep. I have to also mention the shower - absolutely sensational! Hot and strong with the best water pressure ever.
I can't recommend this place highly enough. You will feel that you are truly living in Austin as the locals do, in a long established family home that is warm and comfortable. And of course you will get the bonus of getting to meet Darryl and Doris. Very interesting and interested people of the highest calibre."
3643107,28249951,2015-03-21,11268592,Mike,"I was in Austin for SXSW. Darryl and Doris were excellent hosts and made my stay feel like a home away from home. It was a quiet and perfect place to get away from the insanity of downtown.

The bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and the neighborhood is beautiful.

Darryl and Doris were flexible with check in/out. It really saved me the typical stress of worrying how to get from point A to point B while dealing with my bags.

I highly recommend staying here."
3643107,29898620,2015-04-13,22857371,Brittni,"Nice location, lots of privacy and quiet."
3643107,32948161,2015-05-23,33754657,Matthew,"The Wimberleys were very welcoming and informative. Darryl gave us a few quick tips on what to do in the city and told us a little about himself and his family. He knew to keep the conversation short and sweet and left the whole house to us. Though my girlfriend and I mostly kept to our room when we stayed, Darryl made it clear that we are free to use the rest of the house as if it were our own. The entire house was extremely clean and very homey while their neighborhood just looks wonderful as you drive through. "
3643107,33203817,2015-05-25,4301778,Jos,"We had a great stay at Darryl and Doris’ place. They had everything perfectly prepared for us. The room was exactly as advertised and has a comfortable bed. The neighbourhood is quiet and perfectly located for visiting downtown, or the Bullock museum and movie theatre as we did. Darryl and Doris are very welcoming and thoughtful hosts. They really took care of us, but also respected our privacy. If you want to, you can be on your own and you’ll have a quiet & private place to relax or work (there is a desk). The room has a private bathroom right next to it. Places like this and people like Darryl and Doris are the reason we really prefer staying at an (air)b&b instead of a hotel. "
3643107,34350601,2015-06-07,24041404,Helene,"Darryl and Doris were very welcoming and went out of their way to make me feel at home and even cared for.  Their house was on a quite street with a wooded area across from it.  The room was lovely--light and airy and comfortable--just as it is shown in the picture.  I had a private bathroom and use of the kitchen and other parts of the living area.  

They are located close to the well-known Cherrywood Cafe, and they themselves are frequent visitors there.  

They provided me with helpful written instructions for keeping in touch by phone, locking the doors, getting onto their wifi network (which is quite important to me, and I can say that theirs caused me no problems), and so forth.  

Thank you, Darryl and Doris..."
3643107,47839865,2015-09-21,32840552,Erin,"Great, cozy home in a wonderful neighborhood. Darryl and Dolores were super welcoming and provided great information about what to do in the area. They were also pet friendly, which was a plus for us! "
3643107,49448833,2015-10-04,5815415,Steve,"Darryl and Doris were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room was really spacious and we had a lot of privacy inside the house (guests get their own bathroom). 
They provided some great tips about Austin; the Cherrywood Coffee House around the corner is fantastic for breakfast.
We definitely recommend staying if you have a trip to Austin. They're in our top hosts so far!"
3643107,50750351,2015-10-14,26205873,Ricardo,"Darryl and Doris were really kind and really nice host, gave us a lot of privacy, didn't mind that we arrived late at night they left the door open for us, they took us as if we were family, gave us rides to downtown and even took me to the doctor, the house was as described, definitely would stay with them if we return to Austin."
8022580,49279672,2015-10-02,35390718,Joe,"Randi's place is pretty awesome and in a good location if you want to be out of downtown, but not out of things to do. There are a couple of bars and a variety of restaurants in walking distance. There's a movie theater that serves beer and real food just across the street (who doesn't like that? ), but you're not surrounded by hustle and bustle and college kids, which is nice.

The room is very private, clean, homey. Comfy bed. It's in a very quiet apartment complex. You will sleep well. 

Randi's a total sweetheart, too. She'll kill you with kindness!"
8022580,49686510,2015-10-05,44310119,Abby,"Randi's place is awesome! Extremely clean and the bed was so comfortable. My best friend and I stayed here for 2 nights to attend Austin City Limits and Randi was great at giving us advice about Austin. Randi is such a sweet, accommodating, and helpful hostess. Great experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend. "
8022580,52082067,2015-10-26,4498831,Laura,"I stayed with Randi for my two week visit to Austin. I truly could not have lucked out more by finding her. Randi's lovely space is artfully and lovingly put together, giving it a warm and welcoming feel. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. Though you share the common spaces, Randi is incredibly conscientious about providing you with ample space and creature comforts. Not only is Randi genuinely delightful to be around, her cats are equally entertaining and sweet. Randi really goes above and beyond to provide you with anything you could need, and makes you feel like you are home. I'm so grateful for her hospitality!"
5122855,28038228,2015-03-16,24084851,Jake,"Incredible experience!

Right after we finalized the booking, Ben and I talked for a few minutes to go through logistics. He was extremely welcoming and wanted to make sure that we had an incredible time (at his home and in Austin in general).

Upon arrival Ben was ready and waiting with a full list of activities, restaurants and other recommendations. He took the time to walk me through the house, show me each room and - most importantly - how to work the incredible surround sound system. Throughout the weekend stay he was a finger-tip notice, available through text/call at any hour. 

The house itself is nothing less than exemplary. First floor is perfect for entertaining, relaxing, etc. The beds are super comfy. Internet is fast. Safe, clean neighborhood. 

Will definitely come back in the future!"
208897,10900118,2014-03-12,10543993,Emily,"Laura has been a great host, both throughout the booking process and the stay.  She was kind, friendly and extremely helpful.  We'd be very happy to stay again if we're ever in the neighbourhood (on the condition we get the cat again)!  Thanks again Laura."
208897,28116156,2015-03-18,21689202,Julie,"Staying at Laura's house was the perfect Austin experience. We were a group of 5 and had no problem fitting all of us comfortably. Laura was accommodating in making sure that we had everything we needed and even made sure to do a thorough cleaning after learning that two of us were allergic to the cat. She also recommended a local bike rental service which worked out wonderfully since we were biking back and forth to the city every day. I would definitely recommend this house for quick trips either solo or in groups. Thanks again, Laura!"
208897,28286475,2015-03-21,4659039,David,"Laura was great and communicated very well and the description and photos of the house were totally accurate so we knew exactly what to expect. Patio in back was really nice and bigger than expected. She went out of her way to find a couple extra mattresses since I was traveling with a band and the total group was 8 people but we were all comfortable. Easy 5-10 minute drive into downtown for SXSW stuff, would highly recommend Laura and this house to others and would gladly stay here again if we are back in Austin."
5526151,28062694,2015-03-16,1880443,Steve & Laura,"Great host, thanks for letting us stay the night during SXSW.  Clean sheets, towels, everything you'd expect.  Fast response via txt, and I felt he was there if I needed anything.  
Very safe and nice neighborhood, did not have to worry about any of that.  Convenient store even walking distance around the corner."
5526151,32858913,2015-05-22,32311271,Jack,"Enrique is a great host.  He makes it easy and very comfortable to be a guest.  He's a smart guy that's a pleasure to talk with and be around.  The house really is spotless like one of the photos says!  It's a beautiful home, and very well kept.  The neighborhood feels very safe.  There is  a large grocery store pretty close, and 2 markets even closer, with one that has a gas station right around the corner.  Very easy access by car to Austin."
5526151,41889718,2015-08-09,8851020,Nick,"Very comfortable place to stay! Enrique was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and the location is good for Austin activities. "

Enrique is very friendly and responded promptly to messages.  Had the whole upstairs practically to ourselves.  Would definitely stay again."

5526151,52207062,2015-10-27,35007239,Alan,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Enrique's place! As described, it's a brand new home and Enrique keeps it immaculately clean! It might be one of the quietest accommodations I've ever stayed in anywhere. He was out of town when we arrived in Austin, but he had made sure there was an easy, hassle-free way to obtain the key and he checked in with us by email to make sure we had everything we needed. The bedroom was very comfortable with a good quality queen sized bed, nice linens, and a large flat-screen TV. The large bathroom was also easily accessible and appropriately stocked. We'll definitely strongly consider staying here on future trips to Austin! The house is less than 15 minutes drive from Austin-Bergstrom airport and about 20 minutes drive to COTA, which was fantastic since we were in town for the F1 GP."
2577508,28124284,2015-03-18,7093016,Fredrik,Beautiful home in a peaceful area. Even has a piano and a nice backyard with bbq. Will definitely stay here again. 
2577508,28307744,2015-03-22,11910848,Donna,"Wonderful experience!!!! Beautiful, well equipped home with everything one could want in a great location close to public transportation and close to downtown and SXSW! We highly recommend Christie's home and would love to stay again next year!!! "
4196884,22497182,2014-11-08,4870755,Brandon,"As a former resident of this Austin neighborhood I can say this ""cottage"" is quintessential Clarksville. 

The house is as advertised. Clean, nicely finished, etc. Basically, I would live here.

Property is managed by a management group. Communication prior to arriving was great and access upon arrival was easy. 

I would likely stay here again or at another one of this groups managed properties in the future.

"
4196884,27183349,2015-02-27,18364007,Olivia,"Great place. Extremely cozy, warm, convenient location, easy check in and check out. Every detail is thought through to make it feel like home - plenty of kitchenware and cooking essentials, clean bedding and towels, TV with plenty of channels, fast WiFi. The place was clean and tidy. Very comfortable king size bed, good shower. We loved the porch with BBQ grill and outside furniture. Would be a great place to hang out on a sunny day (we didn't have a chance to use it due to chilly weather but definitely will next time). Brooke was quick to respond (even on late Saturday night when we checked in and had a question re TV she was happy to assist regardless off late hour on the weekend). Thanks Brooke!"
4196884,28888091,2015-03-31,2911689,Harriet,Lovely location and had everything you would ever need. Super clean and tidy. Really close to very good restaurants and shops. Easy 20-30 minute walk to downtown. Would highly reccomend and look forward to staying again! 
4196884,48339956,2015-09-25,32088555,Mark,"Quaint and quiet. A little further off 6th than we normally stay, but still less the $8 to get to some of our favorite hangouts. I come to Austin every month and have put this on my favorites list. It's an older home, but has been cleaneed up and remodeled nicely. There was no neighbor noise during our stay, which made evenings on the large screened-in porch quite nice. This property is owned by a business - didn't like that I had to download an app - it's not required but is helpful. Departure time is 11a. A yard maintenance guy showed up one evening and made some noise for about an hour but other than that we enjoyed lots of peace and quiet. Communication is good during business hours, but can be slow in the evenings - though if there is an urgent matter there is a number to call."
4196884,50115344,2015-10-09,1290967,Laura,We absolutely loved our stay at Clarksville Cottage.  Brooke was so helpful and responded to any question that we had.  The photos don't do it justice.  The decor is so lovely and the house was just perfect for a couple or 3 people.  We loved that you could walk to local restaurants and also be only a 10 minute drive from downtown Austin.  We would highly recommend staying here!
5404169,32015731,2015-05-12,21427561,Wood,"Place was fantastic. Secluded beautiful little lane, house was incredibly clean, and can't wait to find the time to spend a few more nights at this place! "
5404169,51465608,2015-10-20,7581042,Lina,"This is a well managed apartment and I received fast communication and clear instructions throughout the entire stay. The house is very well maintained and clean - pleasant to stay in. We did not have a car, but the location allowed quick access to town via Uber and it was nice staying in a residential area. 
Do not have anything negative to say about this property!  "
5132896,28130099,2015-03-18,6242803,Nina,"Chris was great to communicate with and made sure my team was able to get into the house and had everything they needed during their stay. 
It was a lovely home and immaculate on all levels. 
Thank you again Chris!"
5132896,28365353,2015-03-22,21101671,Adrian,"Chris did an amazing job preparing the place. Everything we could think of was there. He had a very detailed print out with steps of how to do everything from getting water/ice from fridge to stripping our beds. It was an extremely gorgeous home! My friends and I loved everything about it. It is such a short distance from everything happening in Downtown Austin. 

Chris is a down to earth guy. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested. You will not regret your choice to stay here!"
5132896,31261105,2015-05-03,1726002,Andrew,The house was a hidden gem. Very spacious kitchen and great size to all of the bedrooms. Would definitely recommend to anyone else making a trip through Austin. 
5132896,33156015,2015-05-25,32576907,Matt,The house was perfect and Chris was an excellent host.  He was extremely easy to work with and was very helpful with all of our questions.  The home is very spacious and accommodated our large group easily.  Our guests had a great time and would not hesitate to use Chris again for our next Austin adventure.
5132896,47875483,2015-09-21,4227697,Kristin,"Chris was the sweetest host ever! A group of 8 girls stayed here for a Bachelorette party in April 2015. We loved this place so much that we rented it again in September 2015 for a birthday party (party boat on Lake Travis). It was just a short 30 minute drive to the lake and only a 5 minute Uber ride to all of the bars on 6th! So convenient and less expensive than the rentals in Downtown. We were obsessed with the interior decorations in this house and will defiantly be staying here in the (website hidden). If you stay here you need to try Launderette and Juan in a Million! These are some of the best restaurants in East Austin and are within walking distance! 

Chris was very open to check in/check out times. One of my friends left her necklace and he mailed it back to us! We hope to work with Chris again in the future. :)"
5132896,49502741,2015-10-04,13613102,Mark,"This house was awesome. A group of us went to Austin for ACL. Chris was great and always very responsive when it can to any questions I had. The house is in east Austin, just a quick Uber ride to Downtown and 6th street. Maybe 15 minutes to ACL tops. Would highly reccomend. "
5314747,28261971,2015-03-21,10461507,Alex,Alison's home was great! Clean and comfy.  We had no issues getting to downtown via bus and it was a relatively cheap cab ride back to the house.  I would definitely recommend it to any small group looking to stay in Austin.
174023,1001570,2012-03-15,1343156,Massimo,"Guido is an excellent host. His house is located in a tranquil area, 10-15 minutes away from austin downtown, and is very wide and clean.
We had a very good time here."
174023,1016635,2012-03-19,1630342,Roni,Excellent. The crib accommodated me and team very well during SXSW. Anytime i'm Austin I will be reaching out to Guido for housing
174023,18723816,2014-08-31,17739367,Andrew,"The house was beautiful and the host was extremely helpful in providing everything that we needed. Whether it was service problems or providing extra amenities like a grill for the weekends, he was extremely dedicated to providing comfort to his guests. Would highly recommend for future groups looking for a great housing experience during stays in Austin."
174023,28469713,2015-03-24,14407713,Lionel,"Great stay once again! Have use this host before and just as my previous stay, all expectation we exceeded! Would definitely recommend this location to everyone. Location is great and the host is nothing less than that. I  needed an extra key, and just hours later Vincent Jr. was at the door with it!

Great place to stay for SXSW, X Games, and Red Fest!"

5059071,28474846,2015-03-24,19818878,Luigi,A perfect AIRBNB EXPERIENCE. Lindsay was a perfect host. She showed me perfectly how i could  move in her house and and around Austin too. Se sended me many mail with maps and gold informations. Hope to meet Linday in Italy as soon as possible.
5059071,31961060,2015-05-12,30807326,Robert,"Lindsay and Keith were very kind and accommodating. Lindsay arranged for her dog-walker to provide me with a key when I arrived. The house and my bedroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. The house is located in a nice suburban neighborhood that is a short drive from Carsen Creek Ranch, East Austin, and the airport. Couldn't have asked for a better host or house and I would definitely stay there again if I'm ever back in Austin."
5059071,40821996,2015-08-02,31718949,Galo,"When I arrived in Austin, I knew only one other person but from the start Lindsay made me feel like I was staying at friend's house. Not only was a everything as described but it was perfect. And her dog Pockets was very cool too! "
5059071,41559401,2015-08-07,19276084,Eva,Lindsay was a super host--I actually made a same-day reservation for my best friend who arrived while I was out of town and was locked out of my place. She responded quickly and it was a pleasure to correspond with. It was a great landing pad for my friend to stay and she was pleased with the experience as well!
5059071,42736281,2015-08-15,37441150,Amanda,"Lindsay was an accommodating host and made every effort to make sure I was well received. She was laidback and easy to talk to, and the bed was very comfortable! I always got a good night's sleep there."
5059071,50015293,2015-10-08,4817329,Jamie,"This was my best AirBnB experience so far.  Lindsay and Keith are gorgeous souls, the chance to connect with them was unexpectedly enriching and remains so since.  I felt comfortable in their house, which is spacious and clean and stylish.  All in all, the experience was like staying with good friends.  The room is brighter than in the photo and the bed was comfortable.  I used Uber to get around, no troubles there either."
5059071,50628959,2015-10-13,5379007,Timi,Lindsay provided a nice clean place to stay. She was very flexible and accommodating. Her huskie was a cool dog too.  I recommend. 
3354210,50575427,2015-10-12,44792499,Sophie,"Our host was incredibly welcoming!! Our first time using AirBNB was absolutely amazing and it's thanks to Anand and his amazing apartment.  Spotless!  Convenient!  Safe!  Friendly!  Nothing but love, would stay here with every trip downtown Austin :)  We could hardly get ourselves to leave."
3354210,51201059,2015-10-18,45779983,Stella,"Anand was a great host! From the time booking was confirmed he provided clear and positive directions for us. He really talked up the place, which made my husband and me very excited for our trip. The place lived up to our hopes - great location, beautiful space, comfortable, easy access, and private. Only downside is being close to 6th - so the outside noise from 10pm - 2am is somewhat unavoidable. Earplugs can solve that if you want to sleep! Anand also checked in with us and offered to help just enough so we felt supported but also let us do our thing without being overbearing. I would recommend this place to others and would stay again. Thank you."
2374311,11017438,2014-03-17,12451135,Katie,I used their house to book lodging for my company's Sales reps during SXSW. Mike and Cyrstal were so easy to work with and I heard nothing but great things from the reps that stayed! 
2374311,13101630,2014-05-19,8740591,Ryan,I really liked staying in this neighborhood. The house was clean and comfortable. New restaurants and bars are popping up in this neighborhood constantly it seems like- was nice to be able to try some of them and still be able to walk to some of the places we frequent more often. 
2374311,13452597,2014-05-27,6777974,Phillip,"Awesome place and awesome host! Mike was very easy to get ahold of when needed, and did a great job making us feel welcome. The place is very clean and comfortable. Hope to come back sometime!"
2374311,28073460,2015-03-17,5335760,Brian,"We loved our stay at Mike and Crystal's East Austin home! It's really well located to downtown -- just a few minutes by Car2Go or Uber -- and provided a nice retreat from the craziness of SXSW. It's very cute, too, in a very Austin manner. Pictures don't do it justice! Mike was also very helpful whenever we needed him, and provided some great food recs too (go to Gourmands down the street!). We'd definitely stay here again."
2374311,28336602,2015-03-22,28694603,Mike,"If you're looking for a great place while in Austin/SXSW look no further. Mike and Crystal's place was perfect for our group of 4. Plenty of space and super close to downtown. The patio outside gives you great privacy for business meetings with a nice ambience. We had a great time and would always go back here! Thank you Mike, Thank you Crystal"
2374311,49635424,2015-10-05,33826603,Matt,Mike and Crystal were such AMAZING hosts! The house was perfect for me and my family. It was spacious and comfortable with such great accommodations. The recommendations they left for us were perfect and we could not have asked for a better location. Easy to get around and walking distance to some great local spots. Next time I am in austin I will definitely try and stay here again. 
4098404,23673099,2014-12-07,5868807,Sadie,"Tyler's space was super-clean, so comfortable, and absolutely perfect. He was a lovely communicator who got right back to me to answer any question I had. The location is brilliant--equally located to Barton Springs/Zilker Park, Downtown and my all-time fave, South Congress. It's a quiet location and the beds are quite sleepable--very important for me. 
I read another review that said there was a bug or something but Tyler assured me that was a one-time sighting, and then he took above and beyond measures to ensure that would not happen again. Of course, coming from NYC I'm well aware of the fact that every apartment will see a waterbug once or twice, but I also know a clean apartment when I see one--and this is it. No worries, mates! This is a G R E A T choice for your visit to Austin. "
4098404,25608355,2015-01-20,23005527,Joseph,"My friend and myself got into Austin and were welcomed to an awesome apartment that Tyler had left for me. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable. It's a close drive to downtown and other parts of Austin. My opinion, Tyler's place is in the heart of the ""best"" part of town. I was super stoked to be able to come and go as I please as well. Never felt danger of any kind. I would recommend this place. 

Thanks again!!!"
4098404,30835965,2015-04-27,30617754,Ellen,"I really enjoyed staying with Tyler! He was very courteous, friendly, accommodating, and helpful, even going as far as picking me up downtown after my flight in!
 His apartment is very clean and peaceful. I found his couch very comfortable, and cooked a bunch of meals in his kitchen; the only thing I found tricky was a shortage of cookware, but that allowed me to get creative! 
The neighborhood abuts a beautiful park that forms a portion of the Austin Greenbelt, and a number of restaurants and markets are nearby (I walked to them). 
I would heartily recommend staying with Tyler if you are looking for a comfy couch and a low-key, friendly host!"
4098404,46188608,2015-09-08,41306861,James,"He was attentive to text me and Celine from the get-go so that we could be clear on the situation when arriving. When we arrived, we were provided with keys, bath towels, and he made sure to let us know to tell him if we needed anything. Towards the end of our stay, when we had some time, he took us to Barton Springs and we had plenty to converse about. "
4098404,47934966,2015-09-21,25012171,Fabien,"I spent a weekend at Tyler's and it was great! He's a really nice guy and made me feel welcome. The location was perfect, with the Barton Springs pool right around the corner, a convenient store down the street and great cafés nearby. I needed a bike to get around town and Tyler let me borrow his, saving me about $40 bucks. Thanks Tyler!"
4098404,48816726,2015-09-28,44179015,Seth,"Nice neighborhood. Cozy apartment. It was as described. Tyler was a nice guy, good host, helpful. Thanks for the couch!"
1594441,31893157,2015-05-11,224459,Sandy,Jodi was very responsive.  The property was comfortable and within walking distance of many things and a bus line.  Had every thing I needed. I would stay again.  
6854598,46901093,2015-09-14,4893612,Anna,"Wow - what a fantastic time we had in Laci's adorable abode! She was a perfect host, welcoming us with a cute postcard and plenty of clean towels -- not to mention a French press to fuel our coffee addiction. 

I truly cannot recommend her place highly enough. Though small, her apartment is extremely well-appointed and the decorations are remarkable.... they made me want to move to Austin and live in her place!

As far as location, Laci's apartment is tucked into a quiet street but is only a short walk from all kinds of Austin attractions. (Granted, I am from DC where we walk all day every day, so other guests might prefer to use Uber or Lyft to get around). 

Her apartment comes complete with a record player and other fun items. 

As an aside, I ended up leaving my iPad mini behind in her place (though I thought I might have left it on the plane), and she was quick to text me immediately that she had found my iPad. What's more, she is sending it to me today. I think that speed (next day) is above and beyond. 

Last thing -- she was willing to let me keep my suitcase at her place while I explored the city on my last day there. I had a late flight and was able to pop back by her place to grab my suitcase before heading to the airport. 

Like I said, I can't recommend her place highly enough. I definitely plan to book it again the next time I'm in town. Thanks, Laci, for a great Airbnb experience!"
6854598,47804795,2015-09-21,42718823,Ryan,"Laci was our first host on Airbnb, we had never used this before and she made it an awesome experience.  Everything was exactly as advertised, the communication was punctual, and she was more than accommodating considering the odd travel times we had.  The neighborhood was in a great spot, we walked pretty much everywhere, and had lots of different places to choose from.  Laci gave us a full description of all the local places for scenery, activities, food and drinks.  Laci's apartment has a lot of the local art and flavor, that gives off a very homey vibe.  The bed was extremely comfortable and the apartment had everything we needed.  Laci is a wonderful host and did everything necessary to make our anniversary trip memorable.  We would strongly recommend her to anyone!"
6854598,52046274,2015-10-26,38528234,Myra,"Laci was very friendly over email and texting. She even left a welcome card for us when we arrived. Her place has a lot of character in nice, small neighborhood with some great eats nearby. She was quickly responsive to any questions and provided great suggestions for restaurants. She was very accommodating and flexible as well."
70703,200414,2011-03-16,347259,Greg,Martin was a very gracious host while at sxsw in March. Tastefully renovated property that slept 4 comfortably and was a quick drive to downtown and local markets. The guesthouse was clean upon arrival and Martin even filled the kitchen with snacks and refreshments. A true delight and we would love to stay here again next year!
70703,204754,2011-03-21,386941,Jesoer,Extremely nice place and hosts. They were helpful and accommodating in every way possible. Highly recommended  
70703,1022444,2012-03-20,560743,Zachary,"Three of us stayed in Martin's guesthouse for 9 nights during SXSW 2012. We had a wonderful stay, and have nothing but good things to say about our experience.

Highlights:

-Location. Right off of North Loop 1, quick drive into downtown, near to grocery store.
-Clean & cool space. The guesthouse itself is very well laid out w/ lots of character and plenty of space (large deck & yard too!)
-Great hosts. Super-friendly, ready to help with whatever you need.

5 stars!"
70703,3772403,2013-03-13,4822447,Richard,"Overall, a great experience and very welcoming family! Thanks!"
70703,10921944,2014-03-13,5211065,Liesel,"I absolutely LOVED Martin's guesthouse. 

Two coworkers and I stayed here during SXSW and we couldn't have been more comfortable or happy. It's a great neighborhood, and one that is nice and quiet at night (which is ideal after a busy, stimulating day). We had everything we needed - including ample space and more outlets than we knew what to do with. Martin was a very helpful, kind host as well. 

Highly recommended."
70703,16503967,2014-07-28,3551837,New,"Great location with quick access to all parts of town. The neighborhood was quiet and a short walk to the park for a swim. We really enjoyed the character, spaciousness and quality of the carriage house and will definitely be back."
70703,20896902,2014-10-07,18225818,Gene,The house was great and we really enjoyed the stay.  Martin was very hospitable and accommodating.  We highly recommend!!
4588823,27561947,2015-03-07,10658196,Amy,"""Pick yer Fillin"" was a great pick for us. The location couldn't have been more convenient. Sarah and Steve helped make my special weekend unforgettable with their bachelorette decorations and their beautifully lit deck.  They were available when we needed them and made excellent recommendations on places to go and things to do.  Their home was clean and our large party (8 girls) had plenty of room.  I plan to make this my home every time I come to ATX!"
4588823,28043701,2015-03-16,6237669,Susie,"Sarah & Steve were great, super hospitable and ready to answer any questions we had. 
The area is super close to the convention centre and just short walk from all the action. 
The place was nice and clean. 
Thanks again!"
4588823,28740551,2015-03-29,29281497,Stephane,"The apartment is located in a convenient area close to good nightlife. We enjoyed the outdoor patio and were able to grill.

The apartment itself is not very comfortable. There were no curtains on the windows (no blinds either). Number of seats is limited.

Sarah and Steve were responsive to our requests."
4588823,29218863,2015-04-05,29864300,Ryan,This place located perfectly for a quick walk to Rainey st or a short drive to downtown. Neighborhood is quiet and the host is extremely helpful.
4588823,29771335,2015-04-12,29935394,Louis,"Sarah and Steve were incredibly hospitable. When we showed up to the house, special accommodations were made to suit the large party we had staying over. The place is clean and in a safe neighborhood, it is certainly a better deal than is listed--you will not regret staying here. But the best part of our stay were the hosts. Their kindness and generosity are unmatched."
4588823,30701682,2015-04-26,17229328,Peter,"Sarah and Steven were very welcoming and responsive right from the start and were wonderful hosts. Their place is just as described in the listing - a comfortable, private and clean space that was awaiting our arrival. A short walk to Rainey and short Uber to downtown! "
4588823,31209329,2015-05-03,17218507,Ryan,"Amazing time. House was in a great location, easy to find, clean and perfect for 5 of us. 10/10."
8424093,49563645,2015-10-04,42215055,Justin,"My stay at Lesley's home was amazing! Her home accurately reflects her listing on Airbnb, a cozy and beautiful one bedroom. 

Prior to arriving, communication with Lesley was seamless and she was very helpful/responsive to the questions that I had. 

Further, I traveled to Austin for ACL and I can honestly say that Lesley's home is in a prime location for the event, as it was an easy walk to and from Zilker park. Also, her home is just a couple of minutes away from downtown. 

Lastly, Lesley's home was very clean, quaint, and beautiful. Lesley was a great host and I definitely recommend her listing to anyone traveling to Austin. "
8424093,50394543,2015-10-11,18002081,Ian,Lesley is an AMAZING host AND her place is beautiful. The condo is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance (or short cab ride) of all major attractions. I can't recommend Lesley and her beautiful apartment highly enough. I hope to return soon!
8424093,52002461,2015-10-25,5657511,James,A great place with a lovely feel. Everything we needed to enjoy a weekend in Austin! 
367366,46852101,2015-09-13,43964408,Philip,"Great stay, we were made to feel welcome from the onset with our hosts going the extra mile to ensure we had great visit to Austin. If we ever come to Austin again (which I sure hope we do) then this will definitely be where we stay. Awesome hosts, big thumbs up"
367366,48617177,2015-09-27,15487595,Amy,"Hands down the BEST experience with AirBnB ever!!! Alex was SOOO gracious & did everything to make sure that we were comfortable & that our stay was nothing short of perfect. Alex had cupcakes waiting for me for my birthday upon arrival & then left donuts for us on the porch on the day of check out. He was super attentive & thought of literally everything from chargers all over the house, work station, brownie mix, bath robes, EVERYTHING. We have saved his listing & have already made this our designated Austin home away from home! Thank you for everything!!! "
367366,49464177,2015-10-04,3953061,Xuan,"We had a great time in Austin. The rental home was incredibly spacious, nicely decorated, and is close to downtown. The house is directly on the greenbelt/running trail and runs parallel to a creek. When we arrived, the house was stocked with local Austin beer, wine from Texas and Napa, and various kitchen staples. The bedrooms were all large and there were sleigh beds in each room. Luxury linens, towels, and bathrobes were a nice touch. 

Alex was a wonderful host. He was very responsive and knowledgeable about Austin and had lots of recommendations for places to eat. He was very kind, courteous, and available to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend staying here!"
367366,50757770,2015-10-14,15910754,Cindy,"We had a great time!  Alex is a WONDERFUL host!  Everything was as stated.  From the wine, beer, water to the wonderful king size beds which are VERY comfortable!  Close to the walking trail which we used each morning.  Very close to the action downtown.  We would stay here again."
367366,50999778,2015-10-16,39541366,Diane,"Love! Love! Love! Home away from home. Very comfortable and spacious. The location is about 10 minutes away from downtown. 3 bedrooms with very comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms. A ton of board games, cards, and the nice TV kept us entertained when we were too tired to hang out. The beer and wine in the fridge was a nice touch."
3116223,21508290,2014-10-19,5301452,Lisa,"Great house!  Even better than what we expected.  A lot of space, which was great for a large group.  Kitchen was very spacious, which was important to us.  Recommend this house for large groups, family gatherings."
3116223,21874060,2014-10-26,20186456,Michelle,Darius met us at the house and personally showed us around which was awesome.  He has provided all the toiletries and even has hair dryers for every bathroom at the request of another group.  He is a truly great host.  The house is beautiful and located in an amazing area of Austin.  I honestly don't think his photos do the house justice.  There is plenty of room for large groups.  We had a wonderful time!  Thanks Darius!
3116223,22355746,2014-11-04,13161233,Pete,"We met Darius as we arrived at the house and immediately he made us very welcome. He explained the requirements very well, showed off the house which was beyond our expectations. Took time to discuss the area and what it had to offer along with his experiences. Darius made us feel very relaxed and extremely comfortable, a great host.
The house was wonderful and ready to go with all the required linen, towels and toiletries, everything was laid out for us and the hot tub was a great addition to our vacation. It became a very popular part of the house with our guests.  The large kitchen was really great for the group to all work together, and the large rooms were equally used by us all to relax and socialize, a great layout. The location is excellent for a relaxing time away from the City, but real close to drive to the airport and the COTA, which was why we were there. All amenities are really close by and getting downtown, or around the Texas area was easy from here.
Our party had a wonderful reunion here and the house was a great part of its success. Thank you Darius for being so generous and we will definitely return here again I am sure."
3116223,26628321,2015-02-16,25491138,Christi,"This is a beautiful home with lots of windows and roomy living space which was perfect for our family gathering in Austin. The large kitchen, comfortable living room and great deck made for nice places to gather and visit. Darius was friendly and easily accessible for questions. We would definitely stay again.  "
3116223,28070158,2015-03-17,966504,Hernan,"The house was way nicer than we image, It was beautiful!!  Darius was super responsive and available at any time, taking care that we were having a good time. It is a perfect place for groups of friends or big families. We definitely had a wonderful time, thanks so much Darius!"
3116223,28329421,2015-03-22,12180036,Jonathan,"Darius is an all round excellent host. He's very quick to reply on all occasions (prior to booking as well as after) and makes sure you're very welcome. He reached out to me before the stay to ensure we understood everything and if we had any questions we could reach out at any point.

His house is a lovely place and is located within a reasonable distance to 6th/downtown. I would gladly recommend anyone stay at this residence in Austin."
3116223,30681165,2015-04-26,6119824,Ryan,"Darius is a fantastic host - very accommodating and responsive. We exchanged messages and spoke over the phone before the trip to make sure everything would go smoothly in terms of entering, staying at, and leaving the house. The house is very spacious and had everything we needed, all the amenities were quite new and well-maintained too (the pictures don't do the house justice). Location couldn't be better: it was not far from downtown at all, but just far enough to enjoy a quiet night. Thanks again Darius."
3116223,31298522,2015-05-04,27504086,Isela,"Host went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.  House was in great location and met our needs for the weekend.  Great place to stay with kids, lots of games, books, etc."
3116223,31871916,2015-05-11,26273497,Veronica,"This was our first experience with airbnb and we were absoultely delighted!  The home was even better than described on the site and Darius, the owner was highly communicative and helpful.  Every detail was well thought out and we wanted for nothing!  We had a last minute need for 3x5 cards for a Father of the Bride speech and couldn't believe that even these were stocked in the home.  This home is in a beautiful, safe neighborhood and is surrounded by mature trees and plants.  This was a great place for our extended family to gather while in Austin for a wedding.  The deck was a great hang out area and when we were inside, we all gravitated to the huge kitchen which has a nice island with bar stools and large dining table.  There are two living/family rooms with TV's that had super comfy couches for smaller groups to enjoy.  All bedrooms were laid out well with comfortable beds and linens.  This was a great home and we will definitely be back!"
3116223,32324286,2015-05-17,2007882,Kim,"My girlfriends and I stayed here for a few nights and it was perfect. The house is super spacious and could fit us all comfortably (there were 13 of us). As some of the reviewers mentioned, the house is well stocked - toiletries, dishes, flatware, pillows, etc. which is great. 

Darius was very responsive and communicative - we spoke a few days before the trip - and he gave us great instructions on how to check in and other things about the house. 

Would definitely recommend staying here if you have a larger party and want something comfortable!"
3116223,33749740,2015-05-31,23050053,Emily,"Darius graciously hosted my husband and I for our wedding weekend, and was very accommodating and flexible regarding our check-in and check-out. His house is PERFECT for hosting a wedding party, and provided ample space both upstairs and downstairs for everyone to hang out and relax the night before the wedding. The hot-tub was also a hit amongst our friends! The morning of the wedding, we were able to have my hair and make-up stylists come, and it was truly the best layout for that as well. The drive-way could easily hold 4 cars, which was convenient for all the guests and our stylists who stopped by. The beds were all very comfortable, and we felt like we were in a treehouse as it's surrounded by the beautiful & peaceful Austin greenbelt. Darius was extremely responsive and courteous from the start, and although we sadly weren't able to meet him, he sent us welcoming text messages during our stay regarding check-in to check-out. Overall, definitely recommend his house, whether its for a weekend getaway or a wedding festivity! "
3116223,36589337,2015-06-29,35566119,Nimisha,"The house was very well described and it was exactly as the on-line photos show.  It is a very spacious house which made our stay very comfortable.  The best part of the house was that it had so many toys for the kids which the kids loved.  They were super excited to see the room with the bunk beds and little toy kitchen set.  The hot tub was definitely a plus point.  The house is very functional and has all the things you would need in a running house.  Not even once we felt that we were staying in a vacation rental – it felt like home.  
The owner, Darius, answered all the questions before our stay and was very approachable.  He even suggested some good restaurants to us as it was our first trip to Austin.  One of our friends left their keys in the house and Darius reached out to us after our vacation to arrange to send the keys which was a very nice gesture.

Overall our Austin trip was a lot of fun and the main reason was due to our stay in such a comfortable house. We would highly recommend others to stay in this house."
3116223,49622024,2015-10-05,848608,Paulina,"Everything was perfect , the description of the house and the references that he has are all right and true, it was a great experience staying there.
His house is very big and comfortable , they left everything we needed to have a great experience, everything was super clean and organized, the house is a great place to interact and have great vacations"

942209,49749989,2015-10-05,33686595,Aly,Brittany's apartment was cozy and trendy in a nice gated community only a mile walk away from downtown area. There's a nice coffee shop only a 5 minute walk away for a good breakfast too! Beds were super comfy and the place felt very relaxing. Awesome wrap around porch too! Would recommend.
942209,51348392,2015-10-19,44593151,Rashmi,Brittany has an amazing condo and our stay was very comfy. She was very kind to us when we found out we were supposed to check out at 10 am but were running late. I would stay at her condo again on my next visit to Austin!

4226453,22286172,2014-11-02,22880665,Trey,"Melissa was great! She is very hospitable, welcoming, and accommodating! We had to find a new place on very short notice and she had no problem offering her space, and offering an extremely late checkin. Plenty of room, we comfortably fit 7 people. Love the amenities, we could find basically anything we need in the kitchen. Great location if you're planning on going downtown for the night! Highly recommend this location. "
4226453,22562062,2014-11-09,1157107,Javier,"Melissa was a gracious and accommodating host, she was easy to communicate with and to coordinate meeting with us upon our arrival.  Her listing was very clean and well maintained, a s is shown in her pictures.  Although we only stayed one night it was a very comfortable stay, and a convenient location near to downtown Austin.  I would be happy to stay with Melissa again and would recommend her listing to a group of friends or family looking for a place near Austin to stay."
4226453,22923012,2014-11-17,23425035,Misty,"This rental is all we expected and more! It was adorably decorated and so homey and comfortable. We truly enjoyed coming home and resting at night, while exploring Austin all day. Perfect for our family of four.  Thanks to Melissa for her hospitality. We'll definitely come back for another visit."
4226453,23198121,2014-11-24,15790560,Laura,Melissa was such a great host. Very sweet and accommodating. Gave us plenty of it dead of things to do in Austin. Her house was adorable and very clean. I would definitely recommend her.
4226453,29811346,2015-04-13,3400869,Melanie,A friend and I stayed at Melissa's place for a travel assignment in Austin. We stayed for 3 months and absolutely loved it! We felt at home in this space. The location is very close to downtown and a lot of Austin's attractions. Melissa was very helpful and responsive to our needs. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. 
4226453,30322390,2015-04-20,29997753,Jillian,"This was our first experience with Airbnb, and it was fantastic!  Melissa's house was just as lovely and comfortable as pictured, with anything we could've possibly needed for our stay.  It's in a quiet neighborhood, and with its comfy beds, fluffy towels, peaceful, homelike aesthetic,  and plenty of space for our family of 4,  it transformed our quick trip for a family wedding into a restorative, relaxing weekend.  Melissa was so lovely and accommodating, and was truly interested in making sure our stay was pleasant.  We would absolutely stay here again...it made our trip!"

The place is super cute, and very comfortable!  We enjoyed our weekend stay, and will look forward to coming back to Melissa's Cute & Quirky!
"
4226453,32061542,2015-05-13,24201343,Brian,"Spent the weekend here for Psychefest and it is a really nice place. It is a little outside the downtown area (12 minute drive in no traffic) but it was in a good location for us because it was in between the city and Carson Creek Ranch where the festival is based. We had a car and I think if you were staying here you would probably need a car and SatNav / GPS.

The place itself is lovely. Clean and modern. Two good size double bedrooms with all new appliances and some nice finishes. It is a grand size for what we needed which was a base to sleep and eat a bit of breakfast and then head to the festival and was much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. It had everything we needed including a blender which was good for making smoothies. 

Melissa herself was great and really accommodating, we arrived at a late hour and she had the place ready for us. Took our lead on the amount of communication that was needed and the house was pretty well stocked. Thanks for everything Melissa."
4226453,32781744,2015-05-21,32864132,Marcus,"This was my first time using Airbnb, and I hope all my future stays go as well as this one.  Melissa did a great job making it a great experience.  The place is cute inside as described, and everything was very clean and welcoming.  Thank you Melissa."

4226453,43994720,2015-08-23,39048404,Madeeha,Loved this residence! Melissa was nice and very accommodating for our trip and we al loved it. We were a group of 7 girls who all slept comfortably in this house. Very clean and welcoming! I wouldn't hesitate to reserve her house again!
4226453,45175138,2015-08-31,7873985,Jonathan,"Melissa made sure that her listing was adequately stocked with bedding and towels. It was also clean and well air conditioned. She even had a prepared guide for how to operate the alarm system and get onto the WiFi. The high end finishes (pot lights, granite countertop and glass tile shower) give the listing a very upscale feel. The refrigerator, dishwasher and washer/dry was also a great luxury to have at our disposal. The neighborhood is in an upward transition, so Melissa's house is nice and her neighbor's on the left is nice, but the one on the right looked abandoned in an almost comical Scooby-Doo way. Overall, Melissa has a good listing and I'd recommend it."
4226453,46928253,2015-09-14,12777534,Liz And Jeff,She was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
4226453,47915593,2015-09-21,43930906,Alexis,"This was my first time using air bnb and honestly I loved it , Melissa made us feel so welcomed! everything was just great the house is so welcoming and comfortable , I have nothing negative to say about my stay, my friends and I love visiting Austin and we are looking forward to staying at Melissa's property again ! I suggest everyone to book "
4226453,48839366,2015-09-28,24011900,Jessica,We had such a great time! Melissa was very helpful and we loved the house!
4226453,49604906,2015-10-05,39138863,Mike,"Exactly as descriped 'cute & quirky'. The place was comfortable and Melissa had everything prepared for our stay, even included a few extras. Uber/Lyfts were only $10-12, and it was nice coming back to a quiet and private area. We'd definitely stay again."
4226453,50653219,2015-10-13,89055,Megan,"Melissa was beyond helpful! She provided everything we needed in the house, as well as dinner recommendations, ideas about where to go for a run, etc. Adorable place & great host.  Neighborhood seemed a tiny bit sketchy, but we didn't have any problems. Overall, a great time in Austin. Thanks Melissa!"
4226453,51447700,2015-10-20,43232847,Lindsay,"Our stay at Melissa's place was perfect for what we were looking for!  Very cute and cozy with the perfect home away from home feel.  She was easily reachable and left us very detailed information/instructions to keep the process smooth.  The neighborhood is nice and quiet, don't let the neighbor's house turn you off.  I would highly recommend this stay to anyone visiting Austin!"
4847415,24562957,2014-12-30,21694732,Alyssa,"The apartment was tidy, cute, and the size I expected from the posting.  Melissa had linens and towels set out for us as well as notes and a couple travel books.  The apartment was in a large complex but it wasn't complicated to find.  It was very close to downtown and the airport and close to a couple grocery stores and shops.  The whole experience was very good and we were very pleased.  The bed was pretty uncomfortable and full sized.  That was unexpected though it may have been listed as such (full size).  Overall, we were happy with the apartment and with Melissa as a host.  I recommend this stay for anyone."
4847415,25058755,2015-01-05,25116750,Laura,"As first time Airbnb-ers we absolutely, unequivocally, loved Melissa's place! Wow. Not only was she herself welcoming from beginning to end, the apartment was also a reflection of this warmth and comfort. Everything was clean, everything was as we saw in the pictures, and the neighborhood was accessible (eats and misc businesses alike) and so serene- this was especially significant during the cold front in early January. Mostly, we just appreciated the chance she gave us to stay at her place despite not having any previous reviews. Muchas gracias!!"
4847415,28398414,2015-03-23,38121,Josh,Melissa was an amazing host. Very communicative and extremely helpful with anything we needed. If you get the chance to visit Austin I would highly recommend staying here!
4847415,30737704,2015-04-26,31624676,Laura,"The apartment was very clean, cozy and well located. Melissa was a great host while we stayed in her aprtment. Is perfect if you are traveling with a companion, and you want to stay in a place that feels like your home. The bed is comfortable and sheets, towels, restroom and shower were very clean. Definitely I could stay in this apartment again. "
4847415,31469527,2015-05-05,31222592,Mary,"Our stay at Melissa's home was amazing! Her home was clean and exactly as pictured, it was the perfect place for our first airbnb stay. Melissa was a great host- she kept in touch to make sure all was well and even had some travel books set aside to help with our exploration of Austin. I would definitely stay at her place again and recommend it to friends. "
4847415,34299215,2015-06-07,26692599,James,"Melissa was the best host. Met us at the apartment to hand over keys and give us the tour of the place and some points of interest in the area.  The apartment was spotless and very homey.  We loved staying there.  The area is perfectly situated, just close enough to downtown and in an area with everything.  There is a Whole Foods just around the corner, not to mention a Target and a Walmart for those little things you forgot to pack.  The complex has two pools, a running path and a 24hr gym, we enjoyed all of the above."
4847415,35308601,2015-06-17,18731623,Karen,"Melissa was an amazing host!  Her place is absolutely charming and cozy.  The location was perfect for us as we only had to drive 10 minutes to get anywhere.  Her place is very clean and accommodating.  There was plenty of clean towels, A/C was easy to use, wi-fi worked perfectly, swimming pool was right across from her place, and the bathroom was very tidy.  I could not have asked for a better experience!  She is available via text messaging as well and that was great for us as she was available to respond quickly to any questions we had.  I would most definitly recommend staying at Melissa's.  You won't regret it!  "
4847415,35824990,2015-06-22,33882645,Thomas,Exactly as it looks in the pictures. Super clean and bright. Melissa provided everything we needed. Very satisfied
4847415,36546220,2015-06-29,1978641,Frank,"exactly as advertised.  everything is neat, clean, tidy.  host is very responsive in email if you have any questions.  very good experience."
4847415,49720856,2015-10-05,44274544,Courtney,Great first Austin experience!! Melissa was easy to communicate with! Her place was clean and exactly as pictured. I came with a friend for ACL and it was perfect for us two girls! I felt at home at Melissa's and would recommend staying there! She was very easy to get ahold of and everything worked out perfectly for my first Air B&B experience! 
4847415,50655030,2015-10-13,1326901,Cassie,I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with Melissa in getting to the apartment. The apartment itself was in a great location (we were here for the ACL festival) and was bright and clean! The neighborhood was quiet and the bed/couch were very comfortable. My only complaints were that the trash was half full on arrival and the fridge smelled pretty bad until we removed some spoiled food. But those things wouldn't keep me from staying there again!
5619018,27825130,2015-03-12,29131772,Chris,Great place! This was a last minute stay with my co-workers. The place was perfect for us due to its location. The host was awesome in responding quickly and having the place very clean. We were surprised to find a huge second floor balcony good for hanging out in the evening. The bedrooms were upstairs which was nice because a couple of people in our group wanted to go to sleep early while the others could stay downstairs watching a movie. I bookmarked this place because I plan on staying again when I have more time to enjoy how close it is to Barton Springs/ Zilker! 
5619018,27911785,2015-03-14,29243257,Josh,Awesome place! House is as described and the pillows/bedding were top notch. The house is up on a hill and there's a big second floor balcony that overlooks downtown. The weather was perfect so we had a nice evening dinner up there. Theres also a nearby trail that runs directly to Barton Springs that I wish we had time to use. Hope to stay again in the future!
5619018,28150151,2015-03-18,29226419,Stephen,"Great experience, the house is very close to downtown and great places to eat. The perfect place at a great rate if you're looking to adventure and relax near austin downtown!"
5619018,28447791,2015-03-23,5127675,Sheldon,"Very nice experience! Would recommend this place to anyone. It's is very convenient to downtown, as well as other locations. Space was very clean, and Jason was great!"
5619018,28770398,2015-03-29,30075807,Christopher,First ABNB experience for me and it went seamless. Accommodations were great and not far from Downtown. Thanks!
5619018,28828491,2015-03-30,21534138,Kuan,"As advertised! This place was terrific.  My friends and I had a great stay and they couldn't believe the value and quality for such a convenient location to Barton Springs and Downtown, 6th street of course.  Jason wasn't there physically, but he was easy to reach and has given detailed and helpful instructions to guide you from start to finish.  I would definitely book if I was ever in ATX with friends again, so should you!

Thanks Jason!"
5619018,29029568,2015-04-02,30372223,Brandon,Great place to stay with an awesome view of the city. Jason made it easy to check in on short notice and made sure the place was cleaned before I got there. I enjoyed myself and would stay there again.
5619018,29581383,2015-04-09,1325819,Etienne,"Great House, perfect for our little Austin visit! 10 minutes walk from the Springs is a BIG plus too! highly recommended! 
"
5619018,29710743,2015-04-11,2250350,Holly,"We arrived and it was an easy lock box entry. The place is in an easy access neighborhood.  The furniture in the living and bedrooms were nice and the porch was a bonus though it looks out over the parking lot.  This was not our best airbnb experience, but this property has tons of potential with a bit of sprucing."
5619018,30316448,2015-04-20,29685600,Cyril,"Everything was better than advertised: rooms were very clean and tidy, everything was labelled (loved that!), beds and sofas were comfy. I was there  for 2 nights with my son who has severe food allergies. So, I had to cook all his meals. The kitchen had all pots, pans and utensils that were needed. Wholefoods' flagship store is within 2 miles. We felt that the  location couldn't be better - so close to downtown, yet serene and  uncrowded. Plenty of easy parking. Highly recommended. "
5619018,30511701,2015-04-23,30075529,Edward,Jason was very helpful and accommodating during check in.  
5619018,30786699,2015-04-27,13341316,Alyssa,We enjoyed the location of this condo.  There are several bars and restaurants within a mile and it is a short cab ride to downtown.  
5619018,31261325,2015-05-03,32057374,Gabe,Really cool place with plenty of room and great view! The listing description was spot on and Jason is a great host! I will definitely be returning here
5619018,31481230,2015-05-05,31819317,Blake,"Jason's description of the unit was as advertised. The unit was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The space itself was very roomy and would easily accommodate four to six people. Furniture was basic but nice and pretty new. Views from the deck were great and the ability to walk to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, etc., could not be beat.

The biggest keys for me were (1) Jason was very accommodating and communicative ahead of our arrival which was helpful as we are new to Airbnb, and (2) we were able to bring our dog with us on the trip and he had enough room both in the unit and outside in the patio to stretch his legs.

For a first Airbnb experience, I would definitely consider staying here again.  Thanks Jason!"
5619018,31843418,2015-05-10,32358395,Rio,"I never saw Jason once, but that's just how i wanted it.  Nothing against Jason, but this was a work trip and I didn't need or necessarily want a real personal touching experience from my host.  I was actually hunting for apartments for my new job and Jason, being a realtor, took the time to send me listings that matched what i was looking for.  A very nice and very appreciated touch, especially given Austin's dog-eat-dog rental market.

The neighborhood was quiet yet close to what Austin offers.  It was really quite a charming area.  It was in the multi-family apartment alcove (Hollow Creek Dr) in what otherwise seemed to be single family residence heaven (all that is west of Lamar up to Barton Springs).  Yet it was one of the single family type homes and you had no concern of being too loud with footsteps that you could have were it a normal apartment or condo.  It was nice, very.  'nuf said.

The place is awesome, exactly as advertised.  The best part was it wasn't a place someone normally lived in and so it was aseptic, but in a good way, and without feeling cold.  The furnishings and decor were warm and nice.  The only less than awesome thing was the tub, but hardly what I would call bad.  It could perhaps use a new veneer, but that's the only less than awesome thing.  This was my first AirBnB experience and definitely will have me back for more.  This will also be the first place I recommend to friends and family coming to visit in Austin that don't want the hotel experience.

Actually, Jason, what would you rent your place for on a yearly term?... :-)"
5619018,32131000,2015-05-14,10670349,Mladen,"He host was easy to work with, responsive and punctual. The property was described accurately and in a very good location. It had everything needed for a short stay. All amenities worked well, and things were labeled accurately which enabled easy navigation once inside property.
Only improvements I would suggest are the following:
1.) beds - they were too soft for our taste.
2.) bathroom needs a small upgrade as shower curtain is old and bathtub is slightly damaged giving it a not very updated look."
5619018,33139392,2015-05-25,32333282,Andrew,The place was as described - easily slept 4 people.  6 people if sharing a bed.  It was nice and private and did feel as if it was it's own standing house!  Great price for the location.
5619018,33345189,2015-05-26,15686228,Wladmir,"The place looks pretty much like in the pictures, it was clean and Jason was fast, approved everything really quick and he was flexible regarding the check in and check out times. The location is great, close to the park and the river, walking distance from the pool. I recommend this location for anyone looking for a place to stay close to Barton Springs and Zilker Park. I went there with my wife and two sons and we stayed for one night only. It was a great value for the price, much better than a hotel room."
5619018,33556107,2015-05-29,2380093,Jason,"Great location close to everything. Easy, no contact host. House has everything needed & master patio was a nice touch. Fat Wi-Fi pipe. Would stay again."
5619018,33852297,2015-06-01,33750596,Amanda,Jason was a great host and very accommodating. He was very responsive in the reservation process and questions we had during our stay. The location was perfect and the place was clean. I was very impressed! 
5619018,34833334,2015-06-12,11326395,Carin,The host Jason was great. Easy to contact and quick responses.  Check in was super easy.  The place was just as pictured.  Great location.  And bed was really comfortable.  I would stay again.  Outside is a little rough.  And there are a lot of stairs up to the entrance which may be difficult for some
5619018,35124404,2015-06-15,9131137,Joey,"This place was perfect. My wife and I spent the weekend with another couple. Walked to Barton Springs (it's directly across the street, less than 10 minutes) for a lazy Saturday. Easy uber distance from all the other Austin hot spots.

Big yard and cool upper level patio with great views of downtown. "
5619018,35282291,2015-06-16,35673077,Tara,The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5619018,35598134,2015-06-20,1485547,Jamie,Great apartment and it was in the perfect location. Highly recommend!
5619018,35740246,2015-06-21,35883771,Gloria,"Great place just as described. Price is very reasonable, cute place, nice location. "
5619018,36753225,2015-06-30,34307877,Sachin,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5619018,37621286,2015-07-08,3990480,Kendall,"A lackluster place close to Barton Springs. 

This rental may seem crisp and comfortable, but felt like an ikea showroom."
5619018,37792370,2015-07-10,34111004,Cindy,Jason was a great host and kept me well informed of my upcoming trip. The place was exactly how it was described and very clean inside. Great location too. Will certainly use his locations again!
5619018,38192733,2015-07-13,24301712,Farheen,"Jason was very responsive in answering our questions before, during, and after our stay. He was accommodating and we really enjoyed the condo. The condo itself was clean, peaceful, and very central to everything. Would definitely come back!"
5619018,38678268,2015-07-17,38413014,January,Needs a little TLC but was clean and in a great location! 
5619018,39073135,2015-07-20,26159366,Chris,"Excellent location!   Five minute walk to Barton Springs, we walked back-and-forth all day until the pool closed at 10PM!   Walking distance to local restaurants as well.    Quiet and secluded, this is a great place to bring your family! "
5619018,39253710,2015-07-21,37950017,Amber,Great location to Barton Springs - walking distance! There was also about 7 food trucks within walking distance. The apartment was lovely and Jason was extremely accommodating with letting us check in a couple of hours early as we were driving in from San Antonio and didn't have anywhere to go until check in. His communication was clear and on point. Beds were comfy and couch as well. Two outside seating areas which were awesome! Completely safe and great neighborhood. There wasn't a washer and dryer in the unit however the laundry facility for the townhouse were literally at the bottom of the stairs. LOVED this apartment and will rent again in the future! 
5619018,39698476,2015-07-25,2675119,Valerie,"My husband and I recently stayed in Jason's  beautiful, modern apartment during our stay in Austin. Although we didn't get to meet Jason, he is an incredible host that made us feel welcomed from the very beginning and gave us great instruction on how to access the home and checked in with us to see if we had any issues or needed anything else to make our stay more pleasant. His apartment is centrally located near many many great restaurants, food pods, bars, parks, and markets, including the Whole Foods HQ. The kitchen is fully stocked for all cooking needs (pots, pans, dishes, cups, etc), comfortable beds, dining room, backyard and dec, etc. not to mention amazing views and natural light. We couldn’t have asked for a better host, place and neighborhood during out stay in Austin. Thanks Jason!"
5619018,39970109,2015-07-27,36790611,Katherine,"We have an excellent time in Austin at the air bnb.  He emailed me prior and gave great instructions on where to locate the key, towels, clean-up, etc.  I also had multiple questions for him and he responded in a timely manner.  Parking was great and very open.  The location is awesome!  You are steps from Zilker Park and Barton Springs.  We could not have asked for a better location!  The air bnb was nice and clean.  Overall great experience!"
5619018,40936769,2015-08-03,26154962,Ashley,"Jason was great at communication, and quick to respond when I had questions. The apartment is in a great location, very quick to get anywhere. Beds and couches were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking (although limited, don't plan an elaborate meal, but burgers worked great). Only complaint is that there weren't many towels, and no dish or washrags. He allowed an early check in, and there was lots of parking. Quick and easy check out procedures."
5619018,41527803,2015-08-07,2455266,Karen,"Jason was great at communicating and always very quick to respond. His place is in a great location, close to all the great South Austin restaurants &  Zilker Park yet it's quiet, private and very spacious. I'd certainly recommend it!"
5619018,41868501,2015-08-09,25943194,Brian,"The condo was great. It was quiet, Had great air-conditioning, The beds are comfortable, and it is truly walking distance to Barton Springs, which is a wonderful experience. We would definitely stay there again."
5619018,42169282,2015-08-11,10453889,Jenay,This was by far my best experience with airbnb yet!! Jason's place is fantastic! Perfect location for anything in Austin! I will definitely be staying at his place again! 
5619018,42470023,2015-08-13,20089896,Alicia,Awesome location in Austin! We had a great time in this cozy apartment! Beds were very comfortable & the furnishings were new & cute! We walked over to Barton Springs each day and we're just a five minute drive from all the Austin action.
5619018,42586609,2015-08-14,22684330,Luke,"Jason's apartment was the perfect place for our stay in Austin. We were able to walk over to Barton Springs for a swim one afternoon, and were even able to enjoy a concert at Zilker Park for free from the comfort of the upstairs balcony (not loud enough to keep anyone awake, but loud enough to enjoy!) The listing was just as described, and we would stay here again. "
5619018,43116917,2015-08-17,39547502,Michael,"I had an absolutely amazing experience at Jason's condo! Jason was professional and informative; he provided a simple method for checking in and was available when needed, often replying within minutes.  The condo was as advertised--it was beautiful, clean, in a great location with a great view.  Checking out, though sad, was also a breeze with a very simple checking out checklist.  I had a great time and highly recommend staying with Jason!"
5619018,43678130,2015-08-21,35701217,Teresa,"We had a wonderful time in Austin due in large part to the town home we stayed in. It was so nice to end the day in a ""home"" rather than a room.  Our dog felt so at home she would be in her bed sound asleep when we got back from enjoying the neighborhood. The town home was ready for us, early even.  It was exactly as described and was easy  driving distance to the conference center and downtown. There is a huge park within walking distance, many local eateries and shopping is across the river. Jason was very available even though we had nothing to ask of him. Thanks Jason for an excellent first time Airbnb experience. "
5619018,44398320,2015-08-25,13779166,Brianne,"Jason's place was great! Very clean and decorated nicely. We had a last minute booking with him and he was very accommodating. Got the place clean and ready for us in just a few hours! Would definitely recommend this place if you are staying in Austin. Also great location, super close to lots of great restaurants! "
5619018,44508319,2015-08-26,15123566,Ryan,"Wonderful location, and very nice place overall.  Definitely recommend!"
5619018,44867701,2015-08-29,12694507,Karla,Great location! Jason was a great host! He was quick to respond to any questions we had.
5619018,45143888,2015-08-31,30604710,Kathleen,"The neighborhood is a little tricky to figure out and navigate since it is so hilly and curvy. But, once you find the house, using Jason's description, it is easy to find. The house sat on top of a hill and had great views from the porch. My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here, especially being so close to Zilker Park."
5619018,45968364,2015-09-07,32006235,Nicole,"The house was great and the location was even better. We really enjoyed how close we were to Barton Springs, one of our favorite places in Austin. The only thing we were surprised by was that there were no trash bags and only a couple of half rolls of toilet paper. Had to go HEB and get a few supplies. Other than that it was great. "
5619018,46241480,2015-09-08,164727,Daniel,"Great location, nice and well maintained place. Great host as well."
5619018,47044422,2015-09-15,32431293,Suzanne,"Jason's place was great!  It's cozy and close to everything we wanted to do.  He was easy to contact and responded immediately.   While it was comfortable, it lacked what i'd consider basic necessities, like bath soap, hand towels, and a hair dryer.  While it did have a sort of bachelor pad feel to it, it's a great deal for the location."
5619018,47662834,2015-09-21,3273139,Aman,"Jason has great communication with us prior to our arrival and getting into the place was very easy.  The place is as advertised, with two good sized rooms upstairs and the living room & kitchen downstairs.  Our stay was perfect, and the apartment is in a great location very centrally located between Zilker Park and South Congress."
5619018,48558577,2015-09-27,42370274,Tom And Gail,This was our first time staying at an airbnb and Jason was not only welcoming but made everything very easy.  He gave us restaurant and live music recommendations and went out of his way to retrieve our carry on luggage that we left at the house and meet us to return it.  Thanks Jason!  It was a great place to stay for the 3 of us with lots of room to stretch out.  We loved being close to Barton Springs with the beautiful green belt where we kayaked and rented bikes.  Next time we'll bring our swim suits.  I would highly recommend this place.  Tom and Gail
5619018,49043675,2015-09-30,16429040,Alexandra,"Jason was a really great host.  He was very accommodating and always responded immediately to any questions or concerns I had.  The location of this apartment is amazing, so close to everything you would want to do in Austin.  I was a little disappointed about how the place actually looked compared to the photos in the listing, the apartment itself needs some updating.  It really feels like a bachelor pad.  I would recommend this place to couples or friends without kids. "
5619018,49585029,2015-10-05,30601897,Madison,"I have had a few experiences with Airbnb, and Jason distinguished himself far above the rest. Not only did he make sure the house was perfect for us on arrival, he was extremely good about responding to any questions I had, which I very much appreciated. He was completely professional; I don't think I had to wait more than 10 minutes for a response in any of my interactions with him. We stayed there for 3 nights for ACL and it could not have been more perfect. Jason was so kind and left us printouts of the ACL schedule, some granola bars, and some gatorade--ACL essentials! The listing description is very accurate as well as the pictures. The outdoor patio on the second floor is absolutely perfect and we made a lot of use of it. The neighborhood was great. Extremely close to Barton Springs, Town Lake running trails, restaurants on Barton Springs Rd, and about a 10 min walk to ACL. I HIGHLY recommend staying here for ACL, or for any other Austin trip! Thank you so much Jason!"
5619018,50135762,2015-10-09,22423451,Jessica,"For the home on Hollow Creek Dr: Jason did a good job answering questions and responding in a reasonable time. Check in and check out was simple and quick.

The home was just down the road from Juice Land & Zilker Park! This was extremely nice to be able to walk down the street and have lunch at the food trucks.

This was a convenient location to stay, however, I wouldn't personally book this again for a few important reasons:

The home was dirty... There were couch stains, dust, and ants crawling out of the tub. The dishes and pots had old sticky food on them.  I found used toddler underwear in the drawers. I also found hair in the ""supposedly""clean bed sheets. Also the fridge had smelly milk and some things we had to throw away... It was gross. 

Another thing to note is the swamp cooler. It's very loud, and anyone staying in the smaller bedroom isn't going to sleep very well or at all. When we first entered the home, I thought someone was taking a shower upstairs... And then we found the swamp cooler... And it was loud the entire time.

The other thing to note: the pictures of this place are not an accurate representations of what we experienced. The angle of the pictures make this place seem much bigger and clean... But it was a bit of a let down to see how everything was stuffy and smaller than we expected. 

This wasn't a big problem for us, but the backyard isn't completely closed off. It opens right up towards the front of the house... So if you wanted to leave your dog out there, then you are out of luck. And there is a gross broken couch in the back, yard tools, nails, weird plastics and other things you wouldn't want your dog to get into. And also there were left overs from a previous pet. 

I've personally experienced over a dozen airbnb homes, all over the world, and unfortunately this was surprisingly my worst stay. This was shocking especially after reading the great reviews, (which is what we base our booking decisions on) this specific place was not comfortable  and didn't seem to match the reviews. Quite the opposite.

Jason, as the host, was completely fine and helpful. But with everything listed above... You can see why we were disappointed. Jason refunded the cleaning fee pretty quickly, and said the cleaning ladies rushed their service so that we could check in earlier... Which is a bummer, however we did appreciate the ability to check in sooner... But we've never had a problem like this before, and the conditions were not acceptable. "
5619018,50719536,2015-10-13,26382754,Lauren,Jason was a perfect host who accommodated our last minute ACL travel plans. The house is the closest location to walk to the venue and easy to find. Jason was always quick to respond and thoroughly answered questions. Our trip was made possible thanks to this AirBnb and Jason's help. 
5619018,51001221,2015-10-16,3807047,April,"Communication was great with Jason for our last minute booking! We originally inquired about another flat but he had this one available, so we took it. This bachelor pad worked for the one night we stayed.  Its conveniently located close to Zilker park and plenty of restaurants."

Great location-Close to everything "

5619018,51845714,2015-10-24,4523097,Paul,Great apartment close to the park.  Jason was an excellent host.  Will definitely stay here next time I'm in town.
5619018,52308186,2015-10-28,27440258,Juan,"Jason was a great host. We really didn't need too many things during our stay as the house is very well set up for visitors with everything labeled. The few questions we had he answered quickly and  in a very friendly manner. The location of the house is amazing. I can't imagine a better place to be very close to everything and yet far away enough that it is peaceful and quiet. We never really had to go more than two miles away for all we did. 

I would definitely book this house, and from Jason, again."
4300349,22318248,2014-11-03,20840793,Alex,"Adam's place was perfect for what we were looking for. The bed was comfortable, all the appliances and kitchen utensils we needed were there, and we were stoked to have laundry. Would definitely stay here again."
4300349,34508120,2015-06-08,14088350,Morgan,"We really enjoyed our stay at Adam's studio while visiting Austin. The location is spot on! Within a few minutes of walking we were right in the action of South Congress! It was also a short uber ride to 6th street. The studio was clean, nice and well decorated. Bed was very comfy as well! One minor mishap with the the not turning on at first and then going a bit spastic, but wasn't a big issue for us and it eventually started working. I would definitely stay here again!"
4300349,40445479,2015-07-31,34010430,Shane,"Great spot, had all the amenities.  Walking distance to the very popular SoCo shopping and dining area and a Greenbelt.

"
4300349,40874926,2015-08-02,40077325,Huy,"Studio was exactly as explained. Sleeps 3 (2 on the bed and maybe 1 on the couch). Very spacious. Adam gave clear instructions on time availability and how to access the unit. Place was clean and open. I couldn't figure out how to work the TV, only the volume worked but it's okay we just needed a place to shower and sleep. Didn't spend too much time. It's very close to 6th, I would say maybe 10 minutes or less driving. Only complaint is that the walls were thin. I heard everything from the tenants upstairs - down to the drop of a quarter. Otherwise, it was a nice stay! Affordable and convenient. I would recommend for a quick stay."
4300349,42805070,2015-08-15,30245865,Jack,"Adam was awesome! We made a last minute reservation and he was quick to respond. Place was beautiful. Plenty of space for two people. Washer and dryer there was a huge plus. Super close to Congress, if it was nicer out we would've walked everywhere. Definitely would go back and look at other properties of his. "
2357120,11015364,2014-03-17,12350425,Alden,Robert was very kind and offered to get us anything we needed upon arrival. He was flexible with arrangements for returning the keys when we had to check out early as well as being present when we arrived very late due to flight delays. The apartment was very sparsely furnished but functioned well as a place to rest and wash up during our trip to the sxsw music festival. We needed an extra bed too which he delivered on time. There was a great Mexican cafe called Underground around the corner and it was 18 blocks from downtown.
2357120,13287115,2014-05-24,1948329,Andy,"To be honest, the photos don't actually do the apartment justice! It was exactly what we were looking for - a clean, simple apartment right next to the university. Foster was awesome, very nice guy, very attentive to our needs and made sure we were 100% happy with everything, and even texted us midway through the trip to make sure everything was going well. Can't recommend this enough."
5579507,28278409,2015-03-21,7835712,Raven,"Everything was great when staying at Devin's. The place was clean and very cozy. I like how close the apartment was to everything you could ever need. It was also close to Mt. Bonnell, one of my favorite places to visit in Austin. He left us extra blankets and towels. Devin was also available whenever needed. I had a wonderful experience!"
5579507,28373817,2015-03-22,26260755,Austin,Devin was very helpful at getting my friend and I situated given very little notice fairly late in the day. The place was exactly as described and Devin did a good job of showing us the place. It's definitely a great little place to crash with a fairly short (~10 minute) drive to downtown. Highly reccomended
5105404,27134231,2015-02-26,18588614,Maria,"Sheridan's studio was perfect for my stay in Austin. It was clean, quiet, smelled nice, and is within a few blocks of UT and the AT&T conference center, making it more convenient than a lot of the conference hotels. She made me feel very welcome and provided all the amenities that her description names. She was very communicative and made my stay easy and relaxing. "
5105404,28127489,2015-03-18,27330594,Isaac,"I stayed here during SXSW and had a very enjoyable experience. 

Sheridan was extremely communicative and helpful. The location was excellent — about 2 blocks from a B-cycle station where bikes cost just $8/day (unlimited 30-minute trips in a 24 hour period) and I commuted by bike between the convention center/6th street throughout my trip. The location is also close to a 7-11 (2 short blocks and very convenient) as well as historical landmarks like the congress building (I think that's what it's called). I was also able to walk from the condo to the convention center in a few occasions when I had extra time to get there. 

Overall, I had an extremely positive experience and would highly recommend this condo and host to any individual or couple looking for a cozy, authentic Austin experience. "
5105404,33019899,2015-05-24,16203532,Courtney,"Our stay here was great! The apartment was cute, clean, & comfortable. It was a nice location in easy distance to a lot of the sights and sounds Austin has to offer. "
5105404,33826099,2015-06-01,32685400,Emily,"We were first-timers to Airbnb and Sheridan made the entire process completely easy. She responded to all messages promptly and did an amazing job of making sure we knew the area. She gave us personalized recommendations for the nights during our stay that we didn't have pre-existing plans and they were all spot on. Since we didn't rent a car for our stay, she explained the best transportation options for the area and gave a breakdown of what it would potentially cost. Altogether, she was really thorough with all of her information, which really illuminated the benefit of staying somewhere you have access to a local native. Really fantastic experience, thanks Sheridan!"
5105404,34310798,2015-06-07,32195668,Leigh,Sheridan was an excellent host. She was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about her neighborhood and things to do in Austin.

Sheridan provided detailed information about the space and the neighborhood. She was very communicative and responded to all messages promptly.

I would definitely stay here again if visiting Austin!"

She greeted us at check-in to show us around the place and and was so thorough, we didn't have any further questions over the weekend.  The location was great. Normally you wouldn't need a car, but it rained the whole time so we were grateful we had rented one. We had a lovely time and would stay at Sheridan's again. "

She couldn't have made the check-in/check-out process easier, and gave us a ton of great advice throughout the week about Austin. She was super courteous, and the house had everything we needed (she even set up an Air mattress for us to make it two beds). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her a host for a second -- overall a great experience."

So much fun!! "

4056564,26001956,2015-02-01,11395828,Aya,"We were in town for a wedding and Erika's place was a nice place to stay for us! Because we got there at night and it was dark and raining, it was a little hard for us to find which one was her building, but I'm sure our situation was a little special. Erika was really prompt in getting back to us so we really appreciated that :) "
4056564,26681439,2015-02-17,3104023,Spencer,"The space was just what we needed, though the bed was admittedly cozy for the two of us (full size). Great proximity to downtown (we rented a car), some great dining spots just blocks away, a great bakery around the corner and a walkable drugstore for little essentials. Our only complaint was the aspiring drummer upstairs, not that we weren't looking forward to live music in Austin, we just weren't expecting it while we slept. That's part of the risk in an apartment, and we were fine with it in the end. After all, we didn't come to Austin for the room, and the price is too good to hold something like that against the Host. In fact we had an issue with the Internet and she had it fixed immediately upon contacting her. She was exceptionally responsive, and courteous. "
4056564,26885970,2015-02-21,27480700,Ludmilla,Nice little apartment in a nice building but the bed could be more comfortable.
4056564,27293846,2015-03-01,27801880,Sarah,"Erika was quick to respond and answer any questions I had for her. The trip was a surprise for my boyfriend and he really enjoyed the apartment and Austin. Erika's apartment was very cozy and clean. 
She also left towels and soap there if we needed any. I also was excited she had Netflix and Hulu available to watch. I would definitely stay again. "
4056564,27669512,2015-03-09,15736339,Clayton,"My stay at Erica's place was laid-back, and she made getting in and out extremely easy. 

I also appreciated that I wasn't asked to provide a security deposit or pay any additional fees upon booking."
4056564,27925372,2015-03-15,17962955,Kathryn,Erika was very prompt in responding to messages and her apartment was great. Pretty close to downtown and was in a good neighborhood. My only problem was that the bed wasn't very comfortable! But that could just be me! 
4056564,28316554,2015-03-22,1194378,Henri,"Erika's apartment was very nice and cozy as advertised. Love the sound of the birds from outside !!! 15 minutes from downtown and close to a Walgreen store. Had a great time.

4056564,28721192,2015-03-29,1597288,Clare,"Erika's apartment was quiet and relaxing, just perfect for our stay in Austin. "
4056564,29260039,2015-04-06,25598941,Bob,"Everything was perfect for our visit.  The location is great, a peaceful setting for our daily morning walks.  Apartment was clean, and well supplied.  The pandas and owls on the wall were inviting.  Parking was always readily available.  Thanks for a great visit.  We'd definitely look to visit there again whenever opportunity arises."
4056564,29801687,2015-04-12,1832807,Deanna,"Erika's place is very peaceful.  I appreciate the minimalist atmosphere. Her living room is a great spot to practice yoga; use Roku for hulu/hbogo, etc . I'm from Austin and would definitely stay here again!"
4056564,30091261,2015-04-17,30042220,Jeff,Very nice. Clean and cozy.
4056564,30761336,2015-04-27,19045412,Florencia,"Erika was prompt to reply to my messages. The apartment is very clean, had all the amenities one might expect and for the purposes of this trip the location was perfect. Thank you!"
4056564,31343094,2015-05-04,2954576,Joyce,"We really enjoyed our stay! Erika was accommodating with an earlier check-in time. She was out of town while we were there, but responsive through text/email. We would recommend this place (and Austin)!"
4056564,31723064,2015-05-09,24324374,Melissa,"Erika's place is very nice and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and agreeable. We really enjoyed that there is a bus stop very close by, served by hi-speed and late-hour bus.
The bed is not the most comfortable, mostly because noisy.
Erika was extremely nice and prompt to solve the small issue faced. 
Thanks Erika!
"
4056564,32132700,2015-05-14,32067686,Cristina,"Erika's place is clean, quiet, and affordable in a nice apartment complex about 15 min from downtown. It was exactly as advertised. Erika was a great host who gave us privacy yet was available to answer any questions we had. El Caribe, a delicious hole in the wall Mexican restaurant being right down the road is an added bonus! Would stay again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!"
4056564,32868584,2015-05-22,33669456,Eric,"Nice little apartment next to a korean grocery and close to a capitol metro stop. The host was nice enough to keep some juice, eggs and a few other things to help myself too. The walls are thin but the neighborhood is pretty quiet so it isn't a problem. "
4056564,33091195,2015-05-25,29755496,Kelsey,"Overall a good experience at Erika's place.  The bed was a bit creaky like other reviewers have said, but it is comfortable.  Great to have HBO Go, Netflix, and Hulu Plus since we visited during a stormy weekend.  Wifi is good.  Easy drive to downtown and most of the fun places to visit Austin.  The area is a little older but seemed fairly safe - just up the road is a lot of nice new development.  There was a clogged kitchen sink issue when we first arrived which was a bit of a pain to have to take care of after traveling all morning but Erika had people there to fix it immediately.  Apartment was clean and the handing off of the key was easy before and after."
4056564,33827646,2015-06-01,32764079,David,"The apartment was exactly as described, cozy indeed. Erika answered all of my questions and made everything so simple. Conveniently located to anywhere you want to go in Austin. Would stay here again!"
4056564,34876422,2015-06-13,15743978,Adam,"Thanks to Ericka and her home my trip to Austin was relaxing and great! The apartment is the perfect size for one person, has a comfortable bed, and having Netflix available was an added bonus. On top of this Ericka handled a small issue with the apartment (not her fault) quickly and professionally. I would definitely stay here again if I head back to Austin."
4056564,35928918,2015-06-23,32237414,Martina,Loved this little apartment for our trip! Very clean and easy access to the places we wanted to go! Erica quickly responded when we had questions about wifi. It rained a lot when we visited so having Netflix was and HBO go at night was great almost like being at home! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a easy stay in Austin ;) 
4056564,36563770,2015-06-29,1614979,Joe Bob,"Erika's apartment was conveniently located near a main road to and from the airport. It contained bath and bed linens, and the air conditioning certainly kept up with the June heat and humidity"
4056564,38749489,2015-07-18,16429574,Gail,"Erika was a good communicator and the description of her apartment is accurate.  It is a good value, and everything went smoothly with our stay."
4056564,40652358,2015-08-01,38720636,Jenny,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was a great one.  The apartment was just as expected and had plenty of room for just my boyfriend and me.  The place was clean and had plenty of amenities, and Erika was very responsive.  Check-in and check-out procedures were quick and easy.  The location was also quite nice and about 15 minutes away from most of the places we went.  Right next to the complex is a Walgreens in case you needed anything. Although the walls were thin, the apartment complex was quite peaceful.  The bed was a little squeaky and uncomfortable at times but overall, we slept well."
4056564,41256438,2015-08-05,38953855,Daniel,Very pleasant complex. Nice pool. Minimalist apartment. Lovely. Friendly host.
4056564,41778000,2015-08-09,36129830,Sereen,Erika was very responsive and flexible as we arrived 6 hours post check in time but the key handling situation was smooth. Loved the pool too! We used it twice :)
4056564,42713533,2015-08-15,38078164,Lauren,Erika's apartment is very cozy and welcoming! I recommend you to stay at her place. But note that the shower cannot get very warm. 
4056564,43275275,2015-08-18,37093474,Shontel,"Not happy. When we first arrived to the apartment we went to the fridge to put up our waters and the last guests leftovers were still in there. We then went into the bedroom and bathroom. The bathroom was dirty, the shower in dire need of a good scrubbing, hair all over the floor and only a quarter roll of toilet paper left with no extra rolls anywhere. So at 10pm we had to go buy our own toilet paper. The comforter had stains and I was not comfortable at all with it. Erika told me she would bring another one, but she couldn't get it to us until the next night. I sent her pictures and she agreed and was very accommodating by sending her cleaner out to the apartment again to clean the next day, but it was an uneasy feeling knowing we had to leave the key under the mat all day while we were gone with all of our things in there. Needless to say I was not happy at all or comfortable with the situation here. "
4056564,43774101,2015-08-22,35527019,Tori,"We had an enjoyable experience staying here during our time in Austin. The apartment was very clean, the decor was cute and the bed was comfortable. "

4056564,44973707,2015-08-30,39130756,Adarsh,Had a great stay at Erika's. Location was 15 minutes away from everything and cheap uber rides to downtown. Erika was very quick in responding and even let me hang out a bit longer after the checkout time. Will def be staying here again.
4056564,45697470,2015-09-05,9806768,Kristine,"The location was amazing, just a short walk to a lot of great stores and restaurants on South Congress. Unfortunately there was no WiFi which was a bummer because we were hoping to give our data plans a break on our 2 week roadtrip and we did choose this place based on the promise of WiFi. Other than that the place was very clean and comfy"
4056564,45990657,2015-09-07,39194369,Ryane,"Great experience in Austin, the apartment was clean and just like the pictures. Our host was very approachable and quick to respond to any questions that we had. So close to all of the excitement on South Congress and the pool and patio in the complex was nice. Had an issue with the TV but the problem was rectified. Would definitely recommend!!!"
4056564,47105622,2015-09-15,26432789,Sara,"The listing was great! Irene had given us a heads up that she recently moved into a new unit within the complex, and it was perfect for a weekend getaway for the two of us. Really centrally located and walkable to South Congress. We loved it."
4056564,47761255,2015-09-21,26593492,Claudia,The place was so cute and very close to congress where there are so many shops and delicious eats. Our host quickly responded to all of our questions. We loved our short time at her place! It was easy to get to and out of- it was perfect! 
4056564,49648707,2015-10-05,6015414,Hector,Rene's place was awesome! Right in the heart of SoCo. We loved the area and the apartment is nice and cozy. Thank you so much!!!

5581526,46248401,2015-09-08,43328162,Jesse,First time staying with airbnb and the experience was excellent . The room was very nice and cozy with your own entrance . Sydney had lots of recommendations for the area. Also there are alot of great places within walking distance or a quick uber ride! I would stay again in a heartbeat!!
5581526,49966414,2015-10-07,19357789,Ryan,The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

2287373,10924370,2014-03-13,11427167,Courtney,"Lauren and Katie's place was perfect for our trip to Austin! Clean, super cute, comfy beds, great patio and close to South Congress and Downtown. I would 100% recommend their place to anyone looking for a cozy home away from home feeling vacation spot! Plus they are both super sweet! "
4161281,20795341,2014-10-05,17615882,Molly,KC was a great host. Super cute house and the pull out bed was very comfortable. She provides you with towels and toiletries which is really nice. The house is very close to downtown. We enjoyed our stay very much!
4161281,20875777,2014-10-06,4097252,Caroline Sheva,"Katherine was a very friendly and welcoming host!  The apartment was clean, and the bedroom was very comfortable and cozy.  It was easy to access downtown by bus or car as the neighborhood was near many major bus lines.  I would definitely recommend staying here!"
4161281,21816772,2014-10-24,7798604,Anne,"Very welcoming home! Lovely leafy street and the great cafe ""cherrywood"" just 4 mins walk away. Kathrine was so kind to take us despite our very spontaneous (late) booking, thank!"
4161281,21934946,2014-10-26,171902,Nicholas,I booked a last minute shared room with Katherine. She was super accommodating and friendly. She also had the bed made up when I asked for it despite what seemed to be a super busy schedule. Her place is a short Lyft or Uber from some of the best spots in Austin.  5 STARS!!
4161281,22032266,2014-10-28,21891572,Gabriel,"The neighborhood was really pretty, like a Wes  Anderson film. Katherine was awesome, made sure I made it and made me
Feel comfortable from the second I saw her ."
4161281,22315666,2014-11-03,22124994,Andrew,"Awesome location. In a quiet neighborhood, but really close to the university and the city. Never got to meet Katherine in person, but everything was laid out the way she describe it to be. Would recommend anyone visiting Austin to stay here."
4161281,22449452,2014-11-06,22373044,Colin,KC's house was great! Comfortable place to stay and close to downtown Austin! I would definitely recommend a visit!

Their home was cozy and comfortable, the bed was great and you can't beat the location nor the price for the quality of comfort that was offered. Would highly recommend staying here, and will definitely book my next Austin stay here! "
4161281,22818787,2014-11-15,3841749,Dan,"Katherine was a great host. Very communicative. Although I didn't get to meet her, my stay was flawless and pleasant. "
4161281,27771224,2015-03-11,19146555,Bridie,"We were in Austin for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better host and place to stay! KC was so kind and thoughtful, she stayed in touch with us, even when she wasn't in Austin.  She bent over backwards to make sure we had privacy and everything we needed. Her place is super cool, tidy and peaceful. Surrounded by trees, with a backyard that was lovely especially when the sun came out!  Its a really wonderful location. We also met her beautiful 4 month old puppy, Lodi, he was gorgeous!!!  If you have the chance we would highly HIGHLY recommend this place to stay, it's amazing!  There is a huge grocery store around the corner too and a lovely coffee house that hosts live music and yoga if you just fancy a wander!

We don't drive but we used the buses nearly everyday. They were super cheap ($2.50 for 24 hrs) and it only took 15 mins to get to the funky East District where all the cool bars/venues and restaurants are.  We also did loads of walking which was great (there is sooo much to see!) particularly down to Soco, if you like boutiques and thrift/vintage that is really a great place.  We saw some of the best music and we experienced the real meaning of southern hospitality- we're already planning our next trip back!!!!

Thank you KC for helping make our experience in Austin truly memorable!!  And thank you for letting us jump in the car and head to Houston with you! YOURE A STAR!!!!"
4161281,28160494,2015-03-19,6024095,Kristaps,"The stay was really great. House was well kept and clean and cozy! I really did enjoy my time there and although I did not meet Katherine, she arranged everything and took care of the warm welcome even while not being there herself. Thank you so much! :))"
4161281,28417271,2015-03-23,28622436,Alexandra,"Wonderful apartment in a cute, colorful neighborhood. KC was easy to get in touch with and always prompt with replies. 

It was easy to get just about anywhere from the house -- we used Uber and walked around a good deal. Also, highly recommend Cherrywood for nearby brunch/lunch eats! So good."
4161281,32575642,2015-05-19,24041404,Helene,"Katherine had the porch light on to welcome me, so that when I arrived after dark, I was able to locate the place from the street by the description she had written and to find the key, where she had said it would be. She had indicated that she would be away when I arrived in Austin. She had left a welcoming note, which made me feel at home in the flat, and gave me the all-important wifi information.  The first floor location made the movement of bags back and forth to my car very easy.  The place was light and airy.  Everything went smoothly, from the wifi connection to the kitchen appliances to the thermostat.  Also, the bed was very comfy, and I was entertained by interesting art in the (email hidden)ANK YOU, KATHERINE...

4161281,49664709,2015-10-05,36664176,Monica,"KC was out of town when I visited Austin but she still made me feel very welcomed and even left a card for us and maps and reference information for things to do in the city. I couldn't have asked for a better stay the apartment is really cozy and in a adorable neighborhood just around the corner from a great cafe, Cherrywood Coffeehouse, and close to downtown Austin. Great location and hosts thanks so much KC and Nick for an enjoyable stay!"
4161281,50628787,2015-10-13,38595531,Jonathan,"Our stay at KC's was great! We weren't around the house too often as we were on the go most of the time in the city, but KC and her roommate were very nice and accommodating. They live in a great little neighborhood that feels very cozy and safe, and is also just a few blocks from Manor street which has so much to offer in such a short walk. 

Thanks so much KC!"
4161281,52016115,2015-10-25,43229436,Shani,"KC was great! She was very accommodating and helpful with everything. Room was as advertised, very comfortable. "

5251462,27887140,2015-03-14,24801374,David,Kim went out of her way to make myself and dog comfortable: even went out and bought a better reading lamp for me.  She is totally involved in the Austin music and art scene so she can direct you to just about any venue you like.  The room is sparse but I do not think there is a better value in Austin.  Would stay again.
5251462,29467641,2015-04-07,25250162,Tod,"This was exactly as described. A cool location and a friendly, helpful host. A great value way to see Austin and Kim is great."
5251462,29501997,2015-04-08,25250162,Tod,As per day one it was great. Great value
5251462,29925806,2015-04-14,7077875,Athena,"This was the perfect little spot for me to stay during my trip to Austin. Plenty of space for me to spread out in the room, and everything I needed for a long weekend."
5251462,30163612,2015-04-18,30707017,Edward,Kim made me feel totally welcome!  The location is convenient for public transit as well.  I was able to take a bus stop at the corner or walk a few blocks to Duval street.  Duval street has some cool places to eat.
5251462,31009454,2015-04-30,31470051,Ted,"Kim was a friendly woman and does her part in living an eco-friendly lifestyle.  The apartment was rather spartan, but it's what I expected for the nightly price.  The bed was comfortable and Kim made herself and I some good coffee the first day, which tasted good.  The neighborhood is in the Hancock part of town (AFAIK) and it's also near a bus line(s).  A cold front came through the second night I stayed, and the room was chilly throughout the night.  Overall though I had a decent time at her place.   "
5251462,36539051,2015-06-29,6312406,Magdalena,Kim's apartment is close to downtown and location is convenient. The room is large and spacious and host is very accommodating. We enjoyed our time in Austin very much.

5251462,37704778,2015-07-09,26977357,April,"My host's communication was top notch. This was my first airbnb experience, and I appreciated her communication and availability. I stayed here three nights. The room used is sparsely furnished and clean - not unlike a hotel, so one doesn't feel like you are living amongst or disturbing personal belongings. The bathroom was very clean and bright with towels set out for the guest.

Don't let the exterior of the house dissuade you - it's in an older part of Austin and the building itself is not nearly as nice and accommodating as the room and bath provided by this host.

Although I was offered to use the kitchen, I only used the freezer for some freezer packs. The host was low key and quiet and very accommodating."
5251462,38185190,2015-07-13,25656008,Jess,"Kim was really nice, and so was her apartment! Exactly as described in the ad. Great place to stay. "

Great little area, close to coffee shops and easy to get downtown. Off street parking was a bonus. We would recommend staying here for sure! "
5251462,39282638,2015-07-22,33854248,Sharon,Kim was an awesome host! This was our first visit to Austin Texas and she made us feel settled right when we got there. My friend and I got a room to ourselves with great working A.C and our own key. Kim was really considerate and sweet and made sure we were okay throughout our entire stay :) 
5251462,40083584,2015-07-28,14957271,Ruth&Rory,"We loved our stay at Kims...she was a very kind host and she showed us around some really cool places in Austin. The room we stayed in was clean, spacious and very well air conditioned. Kim's apartment is full of her own amazing art and is a short walk from restaurants, shops and the bus stop for Downtown. Thanks for everything Kim:-)"
5251462,40381417,2015-07-30,37933126,Sarah,This place was very comfortable and clean. The bedroom was spacious and the vine covered windows were beautiful. Kim was very friendly and even allowed us to play with a few of her many instruments. The neighborhood seemed cute and quiet and parking here was very easy. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars nearby (I highly recommend Tyson's Tacos!) Definitely a great place for the price!
5251462,43462718,2015-08-19,41573625,Manda,"I've stayed at a few AirBnB's in Austin now, and Kim's is my favorite. The place is so unique and she is really hospitable and interesting to talk to. And having a private room with a comfortable mattress after a hard day of traveling is a god send. Love it and would go again"
5251462,43790863,2015-08-22,37939689,Molly,"Kim provided a quiet, clean, and comfortable space. Really easy to access from the airport. We had a wonderful stay! "

The room is clean and really well air conditioned. 
We didn't meet Kim in person but she was always very helpful and friendly. 
We didn't have a car during our time in Austin. But you definitely need to have one to get to downtown ! 
Thanks Kim for having us :) "
5251462,45097276,2015-08-31,21226318,Jessica,Great place to stay for one or two nights! Kim was great and very welcoming. It was easy to get anywhere in Austin from this location as well. 
5251462,45347413,2015-09-01,1877905,Robyn,"Kim was very thoughtful, kind and wonderfully flexible with our travel schedule.  Very interesting, eclectic space and the comfortable and spacious private room is all a budget/minded traveler needs.  We were very grateful to have a creative, quiet, affordable spot to sleep on our journey.  Location is great to pop around Austin too.  Thanks Again, Kim!"
5251462,45529346,2015-09-03,25183402,Paul,"The room was described very well, room cleaned and quiet !"
5251462,45834975,2015-09-06,23038979,Carmen,"Kim did a really nice job making us feel welcome. She was friendly and informative. Kim was understanding when we were delayed by traffic. She told us where to park without any issues.
The bathroom and guest room were sparse but tidy. The ac was great! Overall Kim's place is a really great value. "
5251462,46383490,2015-09-10,11285605,Deborah,"Kim was polite, respectful, welcoming, and helpful. When I arrived she pointed out the best places to get food and groceries in the neighborhood, and helped me navigate the public transport system. The room was clean and comfortable. All in all, I would say that this is a fantastic budget rental and Kim is a wonderful host. 

A few notes about the neighborhood: 

1. It is next to East Side Pies (solid pizza) and a short walk from the legendary Epoch Cafe. Aside from that, there did not seem to be much going on in this neighborhood. 

2.  Fortunately, Kim's house super close to the 350 and 10 bus lines. 350 comes from the airport and 10 goes to the grocery store and downtown. However, before you rely on these, you might want to look at the schedules to ensure they suit your needs. Austin's public transport is not exceptionally well-developed. Personally, I had to use Lyft/Uber a few times to get where I needed to go when I needed to be there. 

That said, Kim was fantastic, and the place was lovely. Recommended.

5251462,46554144,2015-09-11,39203600,Dan,Kim accepted my request to stay with her really quickly which is always nice. Her apartment was clean and quiet. The room is spacious and the bed is pretty comfortable. The air conditioning unit was a little loud so I turned it off. The room was still comfortable to sleep in though. I enjoyed chatting with Kim. 
5251462,47135446,2015-09-15,44097092,Taylor,Cheapest room in the area and very friendly host. Would definitely stay here again. 
5251462,47232473,2015-09-16,44031067,Rochelle,"Kim's place is perfect if you are into holistic healing & an organic lifestyle. 

As stated, she is an musician/artist and her flat represents that vibe. The room is exactly as it appears in the photos. The a/c unit is in there, so you should expect noise from that if it's turned on, but it's convenient for these sweltering hot days. 

She made me feel welcomed & gave me my privacy. When I did initiate conversation with her, she was very receptive which made me feel comfortable. 

He place is real close to the local bus line & is within walking distance of grocery & dining. 

Overall, my 1st experience using Airbnb was great!  Kim was a wonderful host and I plan on booking her place again when I return to Texas in a few month :)"
5251462,47320290,2015-09-17,22392513,Frith,"Kim was a very good host and the room clean, tidy, and great value for money. As I arrived in the evening tired and left pretty early in the morning, I didn't see Kim much, but she was super flexible and had communicated really well beforehand. Thanks for the stay, Kim!"
5251462,47981776,2015-09-22,27503998,Sophia,"Kim was friendly and kind. My husband and I enjoyed our time in Austin and Kim was very relaxed about our coming and going. She was thoughtful with ideas and provided all that we needed. We were also able to have some fun conversation with her as well, which made staying in her home more relaxing. "
5251462,48487474,2015-09-26,44901917,Alison,"Kim is a really friendly and accommodating host. Her place was lovely, and reminded me of home. Perfectly clean and comfortable for a weary traveler to rest their head. "
5251462,48975404,2015-09-29,1182941,Jillian,"I sent Kim a request the day I needed a place to stay. She responded within a few hours and made everything super easy. I only stayed overnight but Kim was a great host and I would stay with her again. Plus, the guest bed was super comfortable! "
5251462,50036957,2015-10-08,2548658,Joe,Kim was welcoming and ready to help when asked. This North Austin neighbourhood is a gem. I rented a bike from the shop down the street and it was perfect. The guys at the shop were great and there's also a great coffee shop right next door. 
5251462,50652191,2015-10-13,24730844,Bianca & Sean,"Kim was a good host and the guest room where we stayed was clean. My boyfriend had a big surprise planned for me and she helped him by going along with it, which was really nice of her. The apartment is in a good location if you're planning to use buses to get downtown. "
5251462,51275445,2015-10-19,27528991,Conni,"Staying with Kim was a total delight!! It was everything I needed and more!!
"
5251462,51676175,2015-10-22,17077774,John,Kim is a great host!!
3757576,22242633,2014-11-02,9773649,Adam,"Our host, Jana, was very polite. The house was just as advertised. Our stay was great. It is in a great location in Austin. A short cab ride took us to central Austin for two different events. Plenty of good Mexican restaurants near by. The large bed was very comfortable and the hot water heater never ran cold."
3757576,29801639,2015-04-12,29068921,Waynette,The house was just as it was pictured.  Great location for shopping and food.  Jana was helpful in offering some great local food to try.  
3959365,22465034,2014-11-07,3210323,Keith,"Everything was great. The place was clean and very comfortable, the house rules very clear and getting in and out was easy as it could be.  I loved the location, it was very easy to get around and close to transit, food, etc.  All in all was a great short stay and I'd happily stay again."
3959365,28232916,2015-03-20,5509118,Vasudev,"Had a great stay! The condo was as described in the listing and was in great shape/very clean when I arrived. Communicating with Erica and her people was extremely fast and they were always helpful. The neighborhood is about a mile away from the crazier parts of 6th street, so it's a great place to relax and then dive into downtown or just wander around a nice part of Austin."
3959365,30035271,2015-04-16,14065344,Nick,Great location and friendly support from team
3959365,32716831,2015-05-20,32900342,Matt,"A lovely place. Very comfy master bed room. Sofa bed okay. Good pool. Central location, but not a particularly close walk to the main part of 6th street, although we did walk a few times. The whole foods round the corner is awesome, but don't get too carried away as quite expensive. "
3959365,32934131,2015-05-23,6263278,Vijay,"Super easy booking (there's even a keypad), and everything was clearly (website hidden) worked super well (useful in this humidity) and the neighbors were super friendly."
3959365,37691324,2015-07-09,23859196,Felix,We had a wonderful experience! The place was exactly as described with an incredible view! 
3959365,38748001,2015-07-18,36483317,Stacy,"This property is a 14 ""blocks"" from the action on 6th St.  Just close enough for it to be in striking distance, just far enough not to get swept up in it if you don't want!  The pool is inviting and well kept.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!  Great get-a-way for downtown Austin adventures.  It's nice to be near the Whole Foods if we needed last minute items, as well."
3959365,49170270,2015-10-01,38864106,Raychelle,"Everything went really well.  The condo was modest, but comfortable. The location was (email hidden)per easy to get to Mopac! The parking spot is a bit tricky if you have a large car, I was driving a Tahoe...but great that you get a parking spot at all! 

If you're sensitive to sound, the A/C unit is pretty loud and comes on right above the bed. It wasn't a problem for me - but I could see it bothering some folks.

An excellent surprise in the bathroom?  The tile floor is heated!"
3959365,51436340,2015-10-20,40983766,Justin,"Had a great time at this property. Was so easy. Instructions sent well ahead of time on how to access the property. We got early check-in and late check-out, both complimentary. Pool was great, location was great, place was very clean. Would happily stay here again!"
8655491,49858915,2015-10-06,45023599,Scott,"This camper was an absolute dream. A lot of heart and souls put into the remodel! Perfect for myself traveling solo through Austin.  Close to everything, great community vibe, and Chris is very responsive to any question you may have.  Super comfortable bed, and access to Netflix if you want some down time!  The price is right, especially during ACL when all the hotel rooms are outrageously priced.  I know where I am staying from now on when I am in Austin, The Motel Camper!  Thanks again Chris!"
8655491,50137394,2015-10-09,21338965,Harmony,"What a great stay - convenient, quiet & safe neighborhood. Camper was clean, so well equipped with everything you would need for a short or extended stay. Very courteous & polite host - I would recommend to others and stay again myself. "
8655491,50798145,2015-10-14,25665035,Brittney,"Chris is awesome! Couldn't have asked for a better host - my luggage was lost but the camper already had everything I needed. Toiletries, food, phone chargers, even a few beers. The bed and towels were so soft and cozy. Loved my stay. :)"
8655491,52111967,2015-10-26,45073636,Alexis,"#Motelcamper is awesome! We had the best time when we were in Austin and a big part of that was thanks to Chris! We were celebrating our first wedding anniversary and upon arrival he had wine and an anniversary card waiting for us. So sweet! He also has anything you could ever need in this camper! The bed was so comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked! Because of the rain, we were late getting into town and were unable to meet Chris. This was not a problem though, he made a short video for us explaining everything we needed to know about the camper! It was so helpful and just one example of how Chris goes above and beyond for his guests! The neighborhood is very cute and the neighbors are so friendly. I highly recommend a stay at #Motelcamper to anyone that is in Austin! You will not be disappointed! "
8655491,52555987,2015-10-30,43877483,Anthony,#MotelCamper was an awesome experience! Chris was a very gracious host and walked through everything with me when I arrived. The camper has been updated beautifully and was very comfortable. Hands down my best experience in Austin. I will definitely stay there again!
8655491,52662547,2015-10-31,28890651,Andrew,My experience in #motelcamper was fantastic! Chris is a great human being and it reflects in the work he put into this camper. Unfortunately for Chris the electricity had been knocked out for one side of the camper leaving the appliances powerless but I didn't need them anyways. Other than that everything was great! Perfect for one person or two smaller individuals. I highly recommend #motelcamper to anyone.
8655491,52775886,2015-11-01,21567778,Kate,"Chris was a great host. First of all, Austin was under a severe thunderstorm, flash flood, and tornado watch, so he contacted us to warn us and let us know he'd give us a full refund if we decided not to stay in the camper. We decided to stay anyway, and were very happy with it, staying completely dry through very rainy and windy night. As he said, it was completely stocked with anything you'd need. It was ridiculously cute inside and out. It's in a great part of town, so close to South Congress and with easy access to the highways. We recommend it!

"
8655491,53100158,2015-11-04,31212633,Brian,"I loved everything. It was perfect for me. And the coolness factor was off the charts. Chris went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. I had issues with my hotel that i had booked, it was a relief to deal with Chris instead. Highly recommend this if you are needing a place to stay in Austin"
3515271,16226280,2014-07-23,16373413,Kai,The room was very neat. Amenities were good too. Towels were provided. The host helped me out with rides. She took me grocery shopping on the first day and drove me to places I needed to go. She is super friendly!
3515271,16522111,2014-07-28,602355,Anna,"I needed a place mostly to rest my weary head after a long weekend shoot... nothing too fancy and economical...and this fit the bill.  It threw me back to college days.

I've mostly rented 'entire places' through this site, and was a little reluctant to rent a room within someone's house but Camellia made it easy and comfortable.  

Room was clean and minimally furnished but adequate for my purpose.  It was a futon so just be aware if you are a sensitive sleeper.  It did have access to a private balcony which I would love to have been able to use.

Bathroom was shared but due to luck, I only had to share with one of her roommates (who I rarely saw).   It was adequate too.  (I would recommend you take your own toilet paper though...just in case.)

Location was also pretty decent...not too far off freeway.   About 10-15 mins from DT and about 10-15 from lots of stores if you go south.  

Camellia and the roommate that I met were very nice and loved to visit.  I had to use her kitchen a little more than I planned but Camellia was very generous with her things.  If you do try to use her kitchen, just plan on bringing some sort of bin to keep your things in for safe keeping. 

 I'm glad I had a great host like Camellia for this type of rental.  
"
3515271,18927590,2014-09-02,20659631,Brian,"Nice place, especially for the money! I was in Austin for a long weekend and thought I just needed a place to sleep for a couple nights. However, I did spend a little bit of time hanging out in my room before heading out for the day, and it was very peaceful. Both of my hosts were at home the whole time, so I could talk to them in case I needed anything - but they didn't bother me at all. Very little noise in the house. Two friendly cats would greet me sometimes when I exited my room :)

It was nice having a clean, functional bathroom and shower. Towels were provided and the futon was comfortably made. I've slept on my fair share of futons in my time, and it was real easy to fall asleep on this one.

The neighborhood is serene, while still close to downtown. There's space for street parking, although I was able to park my car in the driveway as well."
3515271,20160664,2014-09-24,21152143,Mathieu,"Camellia is very friendly and easy to talk to.  She makes sure you have the essentials during your stay at her house.  I felt very comfortable and secure and would came again during any stay in Austin. 
Thanks Camellia!"
3515271,20217603,2014-09-25,492567,Olga,"Camellia is the sweetest host ever! She makes sure your stay is perfect.
Room is clean, neat and cozy. Quiet neighbourhood. I'd definitely stay again and recommend her and her place to anyone. 
Thanks Camellia, hope to see you soon."
3515271,20855286,2014-10-06,15817731,Sofia,"Nice house, close to Zilker, host was nice and went out of her way to make us comfortable. The room was a little empty and  the bed is a futon but good for the price."
3515271,21291572,2014-10-14,20935838,Shikha,"This was my first Airbnb booking so I was very skeptical. To add onto that, my flight got delayed five hours and I landed in Austin past midnight. But Camellia assured me she would be awake and it wasn't an issue. She even offered to pick me up from the airport, but I just took a cab. The house was very neat and quiet. She had set up my room nicely to welcome me - with water, towels and WiFi details. The bathroom was also very neat. The bed was actually pretty wide and decent for a futon bed.

Camellia was very responsive to my requests. She gave me an extra blanket since I felt cold on the first night. I briefly met her housemates and the cat. They were all very friendly. I didn't get to spend much time on the balcony but it's a great place to sit and unwind. 

This place was definitely a great find, specially at this cost. Camellia is a wonderful host. I would highly recommend it."
3515271,22037246,2014-10-28,22326802,Hunter,"My experience with Camellia was great! She really was a perfect host in every sense of the word ""perfect"". It was a quiet atmosphere (which was good for me because I had early mornings and needed to get to bed early) My room was clean and organized and even had a porch! There was also a mini fridge with (email hidden)t to mention she was bet generous to offer rides places and gave me a ride back from the airport. All in all I definitely would suggest this host "
3515271,22220913,2014-11-01,4435500,Ben,"Camellia was very sweet, friendly, and accommodating. I recommend her highly!"
3515271,22366343,2014-11-04,21978904,Christopher,Camellia was a perfect host. I needed a place to rest my head while in town on a busy weekend and this fit the bill perfectly. Was not expensive and offered the simple things that were exactly what I needed. The house is very nice and fairly quiet which was perfect as I was up and out before the sunset every day. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a great value in the Austin area!
3515271,22969825,2014-11-18,15513849,Eric,"I very much enjoyed my stay with Camellia. She was extremely helpful and a great host!

The room was nice but I was bummed it was cold outside and I couldn't enjoy the sweet balcony!

I would definitely stay here again!"

Quiet neighborhood."
3515271,23984361,2014-12-15,22878798,Rachel,"The room was great with a nice balcony, perfect for reading a book in the sun. House was clean and Camellia is a very helpful host. 
Public transport is a long walk away so having a car is best."
3515271,26205680,2015-02-07,13198464,Gaurav,"My stay at Camellia's was amazing, truely 5 star. Camellia was great company showing me around Austin. The house was comfortable and the other people staying were nice too.
The house is about 10-15mins drive from downtown. There are greta places to see around Austin so I would highly recommend it."
3515271,26334829,2015-02-09,24795360,Millicent,"Camellia was great! She was friendly, polite, and respectful. She provided my friend and I with clean towels, which was nice. I came to Austin for a night, so it was great how accommodating Camellia was for a short notice trip. Also, she was able to provide some great hiking insight into McKinney Falls State Park and other areas of Austin. I would totally stay with Camellia again."
3515271,40093151,2015-07-28,24475108,Hayley & Angus,"I cannot imagine a better host than Camellia. I spent a total of 4 months staying with her in Austin. I booked for 3,5 months, as I was in town for work, and when I needed to extend my stay, that was no problem at all. During my time at Camellia's house, she showed me around Austin, and helped me out with countless things. Camellia is a very good hostess, she  knows a lot about Austin and where the best hangouts are, and she is always available for questions. She is continually improving her house and the airbnb room; during my stay I receive a brand new mattress and a desk to work at. The house is very welcoming and clean, and her cats are very friendly. There is also a nice yard to hang out in, and the kitchen is large and has all you need to cook a nice meal. My room was clean and comfortable, and had an adjoining balcony, which was really very nice. 
I would very much recommend this listing to anyone who is in Austin for leisure or work!"
3515271,42714819,2015-08-15,27283421,Anna,Great stay with Camellia! She was very accommodating and helpful and dealt promptly with an issue with the house keys. Would definitely stay again next time I need a place to shack up in Austin.
3515271,49103478,2015-10-01,16155775,Chelcie,"Camellia was a great host, very accommodating during move in and move out.  Great roommates as well, everyone made us feel at home for the month we stayed.  Balcony connected to room was great and the cat loved it. House was stocked with everything we needed for cooking. Neiborhood was very quiet, very suburban, felt safe, lots of families."
4154464,21263438,2014-10-13,16097478,Natalia,Great house! And great location! Very nice place for spending a weekend! Very close to The 6 th avenue. Thanks a lot for everything! 
4154464,25609177,2015-01-20,7389563,Michael,"My girlfriend and I had a great time at Kirsten's place!  The loft was clean, spacious, modern, and had very good natural light.  The shower/bathtub/central air/dishwasher/in-unit washer dryer were all super comfortable (we're from NYC, where these are not guarantees).  The location worked perfectly for us: walking distance from local bars (the White Horse, the Grackle, the Liberty) restaurants (High Tower, Bufalina), coffee (Texas Coffee Traders, Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors)  and a quick drive to other parts of the city.  Kristen was happy to help out with our unique, tailored requests.  We would totally stay here again. "
4154464,26403333,2015-02-11,1618236,Dale,I had a great stay at Kristen's condo.  It was in a perfect spot for any of the east Austin spots I like to visit.  Even if your plans would include South Congress or the other Sixth Street you can get back and forth to those spots easily by car or even Rail as it was conveniently located across from the Saltillo stop - very rare.  The place was as advertised and bright and offered plenty of stretching out space for one person or even a couple.  For those that like to be in the heart of East Austin and don't want to worry about having to drive there isn't a better location.  Also Kristen did a great job communicating and the house guide was thorough and allowed you easy entry.  Overall it was a great stay.
4154464,26683782,2015-02-17,10873586,Megan,"We had a great time staying in Austin, and Kristen's loft was in a great location!  Communication was easy throughout our stay, and we felt very welcomed.  I would for sure stay here again... Thanks Kristen!"
4154464,27102214,2015-02-25,26502658,Victoria,"Great location in East Austin! Kristen's apartment was central, clean, and within walking distance of hip bars and restaurants. We didn't meet Kristen, however she left clear instructions and her contact information in case we had questions. She was very nice and easily accessed. Would definitely stay again upon returning to Austin!"
4154464,27915096,2015-03-15,2362994,Laura,"Kristen, and her place were nothing short of amazing. The flat is spacious and comfortable - close to the action yet an oasis from the Austin craziness when you want one. Great WIFI meant I could work seamlessly too.
Kristen even helped us out when we arrived late, making sure our breakfast was sorted for the morning!
I could not recommend her place highly enough."
4154464,28158043,2015-03-19,2362994,Laura,As per my previous review - totally ace.
4154464,30874362,2015-04-28,5267050,Amanda,"We had a great stay! This is a great location with plenty of fun spots nearby, and very easy to get around from. It was also a very quiet spot, which we appreciated. Kristen communicated quickly and made everything easy."
4154464,31965095,2015-05-12,31369602,Katie,Kristen and her condo made my first AirBnB experience exceptional.  Kristen was easy to communicate with and provided all the details needed to find/access her place.  The condo is in a great up and coming neighborhood with easy access to several local establishments.  It is also a quick ride via a B-cycle (Austin's bike share program) or the Metro to downtown.  Definitely would recommend it to others visiting Austin!
4154464,32585043,2015-05-19,32269321,McKenzie,"Kristen's place is the best spot I've stayed at in years! It's in a great location, close to cute restaurants and local bars, and has enough space to feel like home. She left it in immaculate shape and had a nice welcoming message. I contacted her when I was lost and she got right back to me, providing me with clear, easy directions. I'd love to stay here again soon!"
4154464,32772434,2015-05-21,22492165,Caitlin,"Kristen's loft was everything I could have wanted and more in an Airbnb. It was spacious, clean, and beautiful.

Kristen was a generous host with detailed instructions on where to find things and a warm greeting in her white board upon arrival. I'd love to stay here again on my next trip back to Austin!"
4154464,33268498,2015-05-26,12090123,Chelsey,"This was the most perfect place we could've ever asked for! Great location on East 6th, close to lots of restaurants and places to go. Perfect for a weekend away. If you're into interior design at all, Kristen's place was the most adorably decorated loft and you'll leave wanting to live there!"
4154464,33831107,2015-06-01,11708504,Michael,We loved our stay at Kristen's place. Everything was within walking distance from her loft. Kristen was very accommodating and easy to reach. 
4154464,34441545,2015-06-08,14164230,Farah,"Communication with Kristen was seamless. She was responsive to my emails since the moment I made the reservation and was flexible on our check-in and check-out date and time. I did not meet Kristen in person but she left us a welcome message on her whiteboard at home which was super thoughtful. 

We were in town for a wedding which was taking place in downtown Austin. The apartment was well located, just a $5 uber ride away from downtown, across the street from a citi bike stop, and close to some great coffee shops and boutiques.

The apartment is spacious spacious and comfortable. It's apparent from the decor and set up that Kristen is an architect and she did a great job with the space. I would stay here again."
4154464,34978012,2015-06-14,10994154,David,Kristen was a great host! Constantly checked in to make sure everything was as expected and if I needed anything else. 
4154464,35430751,2015-06-18,29765170,Anja,"My partner and I had a great experience at Kristen's place. The loft was clean. Toiletries and towels were provided. The place is close to the Austin downtown and to bars and restaurants nearby. It was easy to get around on bikes, by train or Uber. Great spot to live when you want to explore Austin!"
4154464,35870420,2015-06-22,35748678,Erin,"Kristen's apartment was absolutely perfect. Clean, spacious, a perfect space for two people to spend the the weekend. My boyfriend and I loved the close proximity to 6th street and South Congress. We didn't have to travel more than 10 minutes to get anywhere. Perfect location. Hospitable host. Great sense of style. Great price. No complaints. I can't imagine having found a better place to stay for our first trip to Austin. Would stay again FOR SURE. "
4154464,36121992,2015-06-25,940927,Matthew,"Great place! Exactly as advertised. Kristen even let me ship a package to this location last minute. 

I'll totally stay here again next time I'm in Austin! "
4154464,36606902,2015-06-29,36171816,Michael,We absolutely loved Kristen's loft extremely cozy and well kept. We had everything we wanted in walking distance and I'm glad we got to see everything that Austin has to offer. 
4154464,37339662,2015-07-06,245373,Sean,"Great place, East Austin is quite hip. Love the open loftedness feeling. Kristen was great with recommendations too :)"
4154464,38296935,2015-07-14,6286412,Susan,"We absolutely loved our stay at Kristen's! It's about a $20 cab ride from the airport and super close to the train station- 1 stop away from downtown. Gated community so very safe area and easy to catch ubers to and from. Kristen wasn't there to meet us but she gave us detailed instructions on getting there and texted us to make sure we got in ok and was always very quick to respond to any questions I had. Great space, heaps of natural light, the bed was very comfortable and loved the welcome message on the whiteboard! "
4154464,39192208,2015-07-21,28341024,Lindsay,"We loved Kristen's condo! It definitely feels like a one bedroom, not s studio.  We loved the turquoise and brown.  Great area, too.  We really enjoyed Whisper.  "
4154464,39932658,2015-07-27,5166190,Yesi,"Close enough to downtown and yet closer to the lots of bars and restaurants. A commuter train stops in front of the house that will have you in downtown in just a few minutes. Rent-a-bikes are also available right in front of the building. 

Kristen was great and very flexible. Couldn't have asked for a better experience."
4154464,42134716,2015-08-11,34071739,Marc,"We stayed here for 4 nights in August and absolutely loved it. Kristen was great with her details and made it easy for us to access the apartment. It was super quiet in spite of the area being close to lots of bars and restaurants. The apartment itself was also clean and comfy. And after being out in the heat, it was lovely and cool when we returned. We would most definitely stay with Kristen again. "
4154464,44116542,2015-08-24,35091235,Tu,Kristen was awesome! She gave very detailed instructions and settling in was easy. Place was clean and had everything you would need. Definitely felt like home. Great benefit was the secured home and gated parking. Would definitely stay here again!
4154464,46312634,2015-09-09,1461828,Kitae,Kristen's place was excellent and to our liking.We enjoyed our time in Austin and her condo couldn't have served us any better. Everything was just like she said it was and the place was very comfortable for the two of us. Easy check in and we loved the quiet community she has her condo in; perfect for drivers especially with the private parking. Her place was close in proximity to places we wanted to visit and was barely a drive into the downtown area. Anyways great stay here and would come back again.
4154464,47102489,2015-09-15,16592264,Steve,"Enjoyed our visit! Great location near East 6th, downtown, transit station and B-cycle station. Condo was clean with plenty of space and amenities for two. Will definitely stay here again during our next visit!"
4154464,47962248,2015-09-22,8964541,Devin,"We really enjoyed our stay at Kristen's apartment! The location is convinient and very secure within a gated community. Close enough to downtown to walk in if you want or a cheap Uber. There are also lots of great bars and restaurants nearby within walking distance. The apartment was very clean and comfy. Great air con and comfortable bed. Kristen was great with comms and getting access to the apartment was easy. We would happily stay here again. 
"
4154464,48781154,2015-09-28,10417184,Dustin,"Kristen's loft was perfect. It was located in a great little section of East Austin, walking distance from everything we wanted out of our stay in Austin - Great restaurants, food trucks, bars, and downtown all in minutes. The loft was clean, quiet, and easy to access. Kristen was very accommodating and able to work with our late arrival."
4154464,49628555,2015-10-05,41930449,Jennifer,"Kristen’s place was fabulous.  It’s in a great location, quiet neighborhood and convenient to downtown as well as walking distance to several restaurants/bars on the East Side.  She was very welcoming, access to the apartment and parking were very easy.  Her description of the place was very detailed and spot on.   I would highly recommend her place to any others looking to visit Austin.  "
4154464,50501289,2015-10-12,25957397,Cameron,"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Kristen's loft. The place was clean and cozy and is located within easy walking distance of several good restaurants and bars. We rented bikes and spent a lot of time exploring SoCo, 6th, the Capital and Lady Bird Lake. Most of those places turned out to be within 15 minutes or less by bike. "
4154464,51427049,2015-10-20,35910909,Matthew,"Kristen was great. Her place was beautiful and very clean, and she had a nice message for us with information about the area when we got there. "
4154464,51773020,2015-10-24,45539863,Justin,"Kristen's condo was absolutely perfect for me. Very well located in E Austin; walking distance to everything I needed. Very clean, inviting, warm. Just a really cool spot. Kristen helped out personally with recommendations for food, drinks, etc...in real time. I would definitely stay in this place again if needed!"
5195335,31150605,2015-05-02,30671410,Lihai,"Justin is a very nice and kind person. When we arrived, both he and his dog Turtle welcomed us from their front door. His house is just like the pictures shows . It is a newly renovated modern townhouse located in a  quiet neighborhood. It is very close to the downtown(about $8 Uber fare from his house to the capitol). 
Justin not only made us feel like coming home but also gave us many great suggestions about food and must-see places. He even kindly offered us to use his bikes.
We had a very good time staying at his house and made a great trip plan per his suggestion. 
In summary, Justin's house meet our demand for a cozy clean place with comfort. He and his dog's  hospitality is definitely worth double thumps-ups."
5195335,33191839,2015-05-25,33426044,Esther,Clean easy check in flexible and hospital
5195335,33409193,2015-05-27,14594606,Erika Seungyeon,"Justin's place is very very new, clean, and modern and he knows Austin like the back of his hand. I was new to Austin and Justin directed me to all the good restaurants, bars, and other cool places. Last but not least, his dog, Turtle, is the most adorable and loving pug I have ever met. Sometime I was just happy staying home playing with him. Overall, had an mazing experience staying at Justin's place! "
5195335,34231316,2015-06-06,18053016,Yanmeng,"Justin is a super friendly person, and he gives me a lot of information about local restaurants and places to hang out. His dog Turtle is a great companion in the house too. The house itself is same as pictures,  comfortable and clean. I'd recommend Justin's house to anyone who wants to visit Austin."
5195335,34584249,2015-06-09,34700123,Fernanda,"Great place to stay, perfect location and everything really clean. Justin was always providing tips and suggestions in order to make our trip weekend awesome."
5195335,35945462,2015-06-23,33388729,Rachel,Justin's house was impeccably clean and bright! He was sooo welcoming and ready with a host of places to go in Austin. He gave us excellent recommendations and was always helpful! Definitely stay with Justin!  
5195335,37605965,2015-07-08,35580657,Tania,"This was my first time using Airbnb so I was a little scared... From the first email Justin made me feel very comfortable and at ease.  He is so friendly and knows Austin!  All his recommendations were spot on.  He has great taste!!  He's very polite and really fun.  His house is only 10 min. from downtown Now the best part of this experience was his dog. He's Adorable!  If I could've taken him with me, I totally would've stolen him.  
If I had to re do this I would definitely pick Justin's place.  Amazing house and host!

Thank You!!

Tania and Araceli"

5257185,29699446,2015-04-11,30268882,Emily,This place is exactly as described! It is in a great location and was perfect for my 1 week stay. I would recommend this to another person in a heartbeat!
5257185,29999325,2015-04-15,21150650,Bill,"Nice!  Great space in a great location (upscale neighborhood, within walking distance to cafes and grocery, convenient to U.T.).  Bed was softer than our preference, but for others it would be just right.  We liked the nice touches, like light switches labeled as to function, the keypad door lock, windows into the trees on 3-sides, off-street parking, and the sparkling white tub shower.  Will be back."
5257185,30817018,2015-04-27,31043067,Jane,"The Hyde Park, Chic Studio was located in a wonderful neighborhood.  The studio was well furnished and clean.
We were welcomed by a book with clear instructions about air conditioning, appliances and lights.  We found the studio comfortable and practical once we got the air conditioning on.  We were pleased with our space and its amenities.  This was our first airbnb and we would certainly do it again!  "
5257185,33861292,2015-06-01,21657355,Jessica,The apartment was clean and just as pictured. Only 10 minutes from downtown. I would certainly recommend this rental. 
5257185,49127451,2015-10-01,2882382,Candace,"The place is fantastic--in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin. Easy to walk to restaurants, bars, etc and a fine cheese shop. The studio was just as described. Very comfortable and rather like being in a large treehouse. The host was very efficient with information regarding access to the studio and responded quickly to questions we had. We would definitely return to the studio, a great place to base out of in Austin."
5257185,50478459,2015-10-12,43089273,Brian And June,"Very nice modern apt in a really great location in a great city. Loved the artwork in the apt. Restaurants, grocery store, bakery, and more all within an easy three block walk. Easy access to several main streets running into the downtown area. Our first time using Airbnb and everything went really well.

1415385,9695445,2014-01-05,10891622,Christopher,Nice quaint house not too far from Downtown Austin.  Inside of the house has been completely renovated and was very clean and tidy.  Only downside is that it's a bit of a jaunt to downtown and it's also situated right next to a graveyard.  
1415385,24797762,2015-01-02,25376565,Nigel,Great place love the interior close to rainy street and 6th street

8384336,50328846,2015-10-11,43370489,Gizelle,"Great stay. The apartment was the perfect size for two people to crash in (but maybe no more than 2). However, it was a very comfortable size! Rayna was very helpful with directions throughout the trip. If you need a getaway near downtown, this is the great choice. You will not have to travel far."
5652325,43004795,2015-08-16,41222265,Andy,"Great hospitality, nice comfy room. Thanks for the flexible hours and the help. Clean bathroom and all items provided."
5652325,46080877,2015-09-07,31159583,Morgan,"The room was clean and the house was nice. Sean was very communicative for check-in. They provided breakfast on Saturday and suggested several fun things (which we did) to do around Austin.

Thanks for making our trip to Austin memorable."
5652325,48938876,2015-09-29,44272597,Jacob,Sean and Jill were amazing. Room was quiet and well maintained with a fan inside that kept it cool enough. Great location close to everything.....Jill even left out fresh baked muffins each morning. Awesome visit
5652325,49400953,2015-10-03,33448534,Jessica,Thank you for having me! The space was great.

The location is convenient to shopping and restaurants. I recommend staying here."
5652325,53288062,2015-11-07,35716834,Ami,"Sean and Jill were absolutely amazing. The house was very nice, super clean, and very comfortable. Would absolutely recommend if you're in Austin! "
3403516,15235723,2014-07-05,1031785,Pete,"This apartment is the best value you will get for accommodation in Austin. Location is perfect; tons of bars and restaurants close bye and less than 10 minute walk to the city centre. It's a really cool place with everything you could ask for (kitchen with all utensils needed, huge bed, air conditioner, good shower). Alexandria is very nice, checking in via email to make sure I made it to the apartment ok and answering any questions I had promptly. 
Stay at this apartment!"
3403516,15423559,2014-07-08,585298,Tim,"Great apartment, picture perfect, close to all of the fun around E 6th! Plus, Alexandria was quick to respond to the few questions we had. Ideal first Airbnb experience."
3403516,15706596,2014-07-14,330434,Andra,"Charming Apartment B was great!  The pictures actually don't do the space justice.  It is slightly bigger than expected and very nicely decorated.  Alexandria was super helpful and welcoming.  We were greeted by a welcoming note on a chalkboard in the kitchen accompanied by awesome suggestions for nearby delicious spots.  

The apartment is in a great location.  Lots of restaurants and music venues nearby.  The B Bike Share is right around the block and made getting to downtown an ease (although it is walkable as well).  

I would definitely stay here again, and appreciate how accomadating and welcoming Alexandria is as a host."
3403516,15982212,2014-07-19,2405279,Allison,"This place was so awesome, loved the location! The hosts are very cool, anything you need, they will come to help whenever needed! 

The bed is super comfy, and the place is cozy. The air in the apartment stays nice and cool on the hot days when out walking around. We loved the style of decor, the kitchen read very cute. The light in the bedroom is really neat. Bathroom is nice. 

Located in a very slick part of town, we got to experience more of the laid back area, near food trucks and cool restaurants, some shops, and some places with amazing cocktails. Walked to Downtown, (nifty groceries can be found, within 10-20 min walking distance) walked to other areas as well, that had cool nightlife and awesome local music. It's the perfect spot to experience all sorts of things/local culture. It's close to everything, but located where you'll have quiet to rest up for your adventures in Austin. 

This is a great place to stay. Well be back. 
Enjoy!"
3403516,16230793,2014-07-23,15884763,Matt,"Neighborhood is a little rough but lots of bars and places to eat.  Bathroom light didn't work, but otherwise good for the price."
3403516,16417130,2014-07-27,17256466,Diana,"Alexandria's apartment is in a great location and has everything a traveller needs! She had all the essentials in case I forgot anything like moisturizer, a razor, lots of different soap, and handy Q-tips. The apartment itself is also really lovely. I liked it so much I wanted to move in! The style is so friendly and the kitchen functioned really well. I only had one minor problem when I was there and Alexandria and her husband dealt with it very quickly. The location of the apartment is seriously in the perfect spot. Right by restaurants, cool bars, a food trailer area, shops, and a yoga studio. Felt like it was in its own little area with all the amenities around. Will definitely stay here again when I visit Austin!"
3403516,16575995,2014-07-29,17918483,Ryan,"Absolutely lovely stay in our favorite city, atop where our old favorite classy bar used to be. The space was certainly rife with ""charm"", artsy and quaint and pretty and all you could hope for. Convenience was never an issue and the environment made for an ideal headquarters for a lovely weekend. I highly recommend trying this out."
3403516,16794699,2014-08-02,6266625,Jae,"Apartment B is in the best location. So close to restaurants,  food trailers and bars! So tidy and convenient.  Will be staying back here for certain when I come back to austin!"
3403516,16916069,2014-08-04,7628073,Samantha,"Alexandria is a wonderful host and her apartment is super cute!  I really loved the style, and as others have said the bedroom is quite large and bed is very comfortable.  There were 3 of us staying there, and my friend slept well on the twin bed too.  The neighborhood oddly felt safer at night because there were lots of people out and about at the bars and food trucks (definitely go to La Barbecue a couple blocks down the street!), but was a little sketchy during the day.  I went for a run by myself each morning though without any problems (and stopped at the juice bar behind Cenote on the way home - yum!)  All in all a good stay, but there were a few things to note: we instantly smelled natural gas when we walked in.  Alexandria let me know that she's had it checked out by 3 different people which reassured me that there wasn't an immediate crisis, but still left me feeling unsettled.  The apartment was very clean, except the floor hadn't been swept and we kept stepping on crumbs and a few sharp bits.  The tap water had a rust-like taste to it, and there was street noise from people, cars, and sirens at night which woke us up (so bring ear plugs!)  And lastly I put a $6 juice in the fridge one morning and when I came back in the afternoon the fridge wasn't cold anymore, so I was pretty bummed about that.  So, a mixed review, but I felt like we got what we needed for what we paid.  Thank you, Alexandria!"
3403516,17569521,2014-08-14,14691134,Mark,"This apartment is everything it promised to be. The location is perfect for those who want to check out the famous Austin live music and bar scene. There is also a range of varied and eclectic food outlets within walking distance. The apartment is ample-sized; more roomy than it appears online and the aircon is sufficient to provide an oasis from the Austin summer heat.
Alexandria was very welcoming and extremely prompt in sorting a minor matter I had."
3403516,17845969,2014-08-18,850272,Yasmine,"Alexandria is a wonderful host, and her apartment was a dream to stay in — tastefully decorated, clean, bright, spacious, with lots of little perks: the generous supply of towels, toiletries and fast Wifi were particularly appreciated. Great neighbourhood, very close to an excellent coffee shop (Brew and Brew), delicious breakfast tacos (Pueblo Viejo) and fantastic cocktails (East Side Showroom). Highly recommended."
3403516,18125829,2014-08-22,9558444,Mike,Great charming apartment. Great Host. Great Area.
3403516,18327209,2014-08-25,2474415,Paula,"Great host, very easygoing. The house is amazingly decorated and in a great location if you want to stay it that area of Austin."
3403516,18560027,2014-08-28,18736229,Kimberly,"My second AirBnB experience, and a decent one at that! 

The Good:
-The apartment was adorable! Like others have said, it's tastefully decorated and very spacious. I loved the exposed brick and big windows.
-The kitchen was fully loaded with cooking supplies and coffee/tea.
-The bathroom was well-stocked with little toiletries in case you forgot anything.
-There was ample free street parking.
-The wifi was very fast.
-The bed was very comfortable.

The Okay:
-While the place is very close to downtown, I didn't think it was a 5 minute walk as advertised. Since we visited Austin in late August and it was close to 100º every day, we ended up driving and even then, it was a 5 minute drive to the center of downtown. However, the apartment is still super close to several bars and cafes!

The Bad:
-The apartment was HOT. It does not have central AC, but rather two window units. They were cranked up to max coldness/full blast and we were uncomfortably hot during an afternoon nap (granted, it was during the hottest part of the day, but still). We ended up buying a $20 box fan from Target and put that on the table facing the bed, which did the job pretty well.
-There was a noticeable, intense natural gas odor in the kitchen. It made me and my mom feel sick and gave us headaches, with our throats, nostrils and eyes burning a little bit.
-As other people have said, the street is a little noisy so earplugs (and eyeshades!) are a definite must.
-The mini fridge was barely cold.

Overall, the place was pretty good. We never met Alexandria in person but she seemed nice and responded quickly to my messages. I don't know if I would choose to stay here again because of the temperature and gas smell. But it's definitely a good place for the price and location!"
3403516,18684518,2014-08-30,7486015,Brittany,"Perfect location.  The listing is in its own super cute hood with plenty of bars & restaurants nearby while being reasonable walking distance to downtown stuff.  The space is airy and well-decorated, with lots of useful, practical stuff to use in the kitchen and bath.  The area was quiet at night, and Sputnik, the downstairs restaurant, is awesome.

I did smell the natural gas odor mentioned by other reviewers, and unfortunately, it ruined my stay, giving me a migraine and disrupting my sleep.  Additionally, the a/c is in the form of two window units, not central air, so the place got very warm during the day in August.  Probably not an issue at other times of the year, but on a humid-as-hell day, it kinda sucked."
3403516,18883711,2014-09-02,862036,Eve,"perfect!
the apartment was even more adorable than the pictures. and the neighborhood could not have been better. a super cool part of town away from the overpriced and overdone touristy area (yet still so walkable). also a short jaunt to the river path and food truck heaven! 
alexandria was always responsive and helpful. 
highly recommend this aptartment, alexandria and in general the east side.  "
3403516,19073022,2014-09-06,15944175,Chelsey,"We never met Alexandria but she was so helpful and always available when needed. She also offered great recommendations for coffee, restaurants and bars. The apartment was in a great location and much bigger than expected. Would definetely come back to Austin and stay here again."
3403516,19200253,2014-09-08,13749727,Clare,Adorable apartment in an interesting part of 6th street. It really was a great location as we were close to everything.
3403516,19371882,2014-09-11,19691948,Nhu,"Alexandria was a great host.  Although we did not meet her in person, she left some restaurant suggestions on a chalkboard in the kitchen and also shared that should we need anything, she would be nearby.

The apt itself was very quaint and adorable!  Both beds are extremely comfortable.  Though we did not spend most of our time at the apt, the only complaint would be the strong smell of gas in the kitchen area.  However, Alexandria explained that it is not dangerous and if we opened the window in the kitchen, it would go away.  

The bathroom and apt as a whole are very clean.  There are dishes and silverware should you need any, as well as a coffee machine and coffee/creamer in the fridge.  Alexandria also has a large collection of DVDs should any guests be staying in while visiting Austin. However, should you be out and about like we were, it is close to everything and convenient.  Even though we were on 6th, it was not loud and we slept fine.

There is no central A/C; however, since we were not in the apt all day, it did not bother us at all.  The temperature was great in the evening and morning.

We loved staying at Alexandria's listing, and will stay again during our next visit to Austin!"
3403516,19521637,2014-09-14,17417378,Ali,"Pros-
The apartment was really adorable. Nicely decorated and we felt very comfortable.
Bed was very comfortable and large!
Location was great. We enjoyed exploring east 6th street. 
Alexandria answered any questions I had and had helpful answers. 



Cons- 
It was quite hot, the air conditioning doesn't really do much. (You can tell it lets in more heat than it puts out air) Luckily, we had a very cool weekend so we weren't as uncomfortable as it would have been in normal Austin heat. 
There weren't any extra toiletries like we expected.  No shampoo, conditioner or hand soap.

Overall, it was a lovely spot to stay for a couple nights. We are grateful to have had the place to stay in! 

Thanks, Alexandria. "
3403516,19771651,2014-09-18,9189212,Alison,"The apartment is very cute and in a great location. Walking distance to bars, restaurants, and tons of food trucks. Parking out back was easy. Alexandria was a great host and very responsive when an issue came up. She came over to the apartment right away to make sure everything was okay. 

The apartment did get pretty hot in the middle of the afternoon and stayed that way the rest of the evening. It does cool off considerably overnight. This won't be an issue in the cooler months or if you plan to stay out for the early evening. "
3403516,20087130,2014-09-23,322341,Kate,"This apartment is in the coolest area of East Austin. It's walking distance to some great truck stops for dinner and cool bars and night spots. We found the apartment very relaxing - it has artistic decor, a very comfortable bed, a great shower and was very clean. The kitchen has good utensils, condiments, and a coffee machine and coffee was  supplied!  The bedroom is light so it's a good idea to bring an eye mask if you want to sleep in. Alexandria is super helpful and responsive,  and although we didn't meet in person, made us feel very welcome with email advice, and recommendations on where to go.  If you like character and to experience cool Austin this is the place for you! "
3403516,20183366,2014-09-25,16141145,Ryan,"Alexandria's apartment is beautiful and cozy. Comfy bed, cold AC's and a hot shower. What more could you ask for? I had no issues whatsoever with the apartment or checking in. I did not get a chance to check out the immediate neighborhood but there appears to be numerous places to eat and drink nearby. Great location with quick access to the highway and just minutes away from the convention center where I was attending a conference. I will bookmark and keep Alexandria's place in mind for future Austin trips!"
3403516,20314613,2014-09-27,3191524,Chad,"Awesome place, awesome location, Alexandria was was super hospitable. Highly recommended."
3403516,20643931,2014-10-03,18088969,Chrissi,"Alexandria was a great host and answered all of our questions promptly. She was really very accommodating around our check-out needs, for which we're incredibly grateful, and went above and beyond expectation in relation to a small problem we encountered.

The apartment itself is really comfortable and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of creature comforts that were on hand (fresh coffee!). My only cons in this respect were (as others have mentioned) the gas smell - which was disconcerting at first but eventually we got used to it - and the fact that the TV didn't seem to work too well (remote control didn't work and I couldn't get the manual controls to behave). Thankfully the latter was well over-compensated for by the super-fast and reliable wifi!

The location is amazing and if we ever return to Austin (which I hope we will) we'll definitely be looking to stay here again."
3403516,20737371,2014-10-05,4831289,Hayoon,"Alexandria contacted us in advance to let us know exactly how to find the apartment and how to check in. The place was impeccably clean and cozy. There is a twin size bed in the living room/dining area, and a California king size bed in the bedroom where I slept pretty comfortably with two other friends. The water pressure was also great in the shower. There was a fan in both the living room and the bedroom so the temperature was also great. Location was also amazing -- comfortable walking distance from 6th street, so we could easily walk to a bunch of bars and walk back without having to DD. 
All in all we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin!"
3403516,21027952,2014-10-10,17452849,Polina,"The apartment was super clean and cosy. There was everything we needed during our trip. We came there with two small kids and no car. So the location was priceless! Walking distance to downtown and the bus stop right in front of the building. There are many-many cafe-bars-restorants around the building, but the closest grocery store was in 15-20 min walking distance. For us it was the only flaw of this place.
Alexandria is a great host. She was more than helpful and solved all our tiny problems super fast. Highly, highly recommend."
3403516,21699319,2014-10-22,17618651,Sarah,"This apartment is great and has everything you need! Top location with bus stop right outside. Fairly quiet considering it's on a main strip and above a bar/restaurant. The decor is so funky, great size apartment too. The place was very clean on arrival. Fully equipped kitchen, wifi works well, a/c isn't very powerful but works ok in bedroom with door shut, tv and lots of DVDs to watch in cupboard. Alexandria was a lovely host, she made sure we checked in ok and was readily available if needed. Highly recommend this apartment!"
3403516,21939382,2014-10-27,17520993,Charles,"Charming apartment was great! Alexandria checked in with me to see if there were any issues she could help me with, but there weren't any. My sense was she was always available to help with recommendations, etc. The location is very nice. About a 10 -15 minute walk to the heart of downtown. There is also a bike-share rack a short block away, so you can bike too. 

The apartment itself is clean, comfortable and, yes, charming. Perfect for one person or a couple. And the price is right. I suppose if you were looking for a place to hang out in a lot, there is no comfy couch sitting area. But shame on you if you are -- you're in Austin! The bed is also comfortable. To answer the classic question -- yes, I would definitely go back."
3403516,22103712,2014-10-30,21325717,Jeff,"Alexandria is certainly a wonderful host.  The apartment in East Austin was prepared more than appropriate as are most rentals i've experienced through AirBnb.  She was very punctual and courteous checking in regularly to make sure we accessed the apartment just fine and settling in okay.

She provided suggestions for the neighborhood via her chalkboard with the reminder contacts even though it was provided via email/website. I loved the apartment, i would definitely say it's standard in terms of square footage for a studio/Jr. 1 bedroom.  The apartment has great character and Alexandria great taste in decor, solid mix of mid century and the chic vibe.  I loved the exposed brick in the interior as well, i'm sucker for obvious age of a building.

Once i noticed the windows above the establishment on the street side(food spot called Sputnik!) i realized the apartment had to be there, though it isn't obvious right away. Door's in the back ya'll..."
3403516,22414005,2014-11-05,22965519,Leann,"Traveled to Austin for a scouting mission and loved the funky location!  
The apartment was very comfortable. The big bed was heavenly. In the pictures the twin bed looks so small but it's actually a standard size twin.  Our hostess was prompt, helpful and flexible. We had a question about the stove and she sent someone over in 15 minutes to help us!!! Highly recommend this apartment for the price."
3403516,22485850,2014-11-08,19422240,Joana,"Alexandria's apartment was a lovely little base for me and my boyfriend while in Austin. The location is perfect--walking distance to food carts, downtown and SoCo (we like to walk) and Uber-distance to everything else! Everything is provided, the bed is super comfy and the place is super clean. My only (minor) complaints would be the smell of gas (as mentioned by others) which is unpleasant but tolerable, and the noise from the street/downstairs which is nonexistent during the week but kept waking us up on a Friday night. All that said, I would definitely stay again, and recommend highly! Thanks Alexandria!"
3403516,22642486,2014-11-11,12622525,Meghan,What a great time we had at Alexandria's place! Great location- we were able to walk to every bar and restaurant we wanted to go to. She left great tips on the chalkboard (we loved Easy Tiger!) and gave us all the info we needed before checking in. 
3403516,22883863,2014-11-17,18227633,Tairyn,"We had a wonderful stay at the Charming Apt while visiting Austin, it was close to so many places we wanted to visit and at the end of the day, it was nice to come back to a cozy, warm place. "
3403516,23059746,2014-11-22,8185611,Barry,"The apartment was very nice in a funky area of town. It is located above the Sputnik and they have great beer and casual food. They will make any of their burgers or dogs with veggie substitutes. There are many other restaurant and bars close by. We particularly like Blue Dahlia and Takoba. Hops and Grains Brewery was at the end of 6th Street and had exceptional beer and atmosphere, but no food. The apartment was a ten minute walk to the convention center, but there are rental bicycles and Car2Go everywhere. The rail line which is 3 blocks away doesn't run very often and has few stops, but the schedule is online and it is clean. The apartment had the necessary amenities and the bed was comfortable. The one issue that we had, Andy came by in a matter if minutes to rectify the situation. "
3403516,23203386,2014-11-25,20162141,Sara,Alexandria was great - the apartment was neat and tidy. Perfect spot for a getaway to Austin! The location was perfect to walk around 6th street and was in close proximity to great bars and restaurants. Overall a great experience!
3403516,23357890,2014-11-30,4422381,Chris,"The place was exactly as described. Alexandria was an excellent host and was available to answer any questions I had regarding checkin and checkout. The apartment itself is ideally located right at the heart of East Austin. It's perfect walking distance to amazing bars on the East side of 6th Street, but not so far that you can't walk to Downtown Austin or Rainy Street. Highly recommend staying here if you're interesting in being in the middle of the best bars and food spots in Austin!"
3403516,23492188,2014-12-02,16153407,Tessa,"The apartment is very cute and cozy! The bed is very comfortable and the apartment is clean.  The apartment is close to most places in Austin, we seemed to be a 7 minute drive from everywhere we wanted to go and you can also walk to restaurants and bars easily.  Street parking was no problem at all. 

Alexandria was very helpful and responsive leading up to our arrival, the gas smell mentioned in other reviews was taken care of, so that was not an issue and she allowed us to check out late, which was very helpful.  She also dropped off supplies for us, which we didn't need as it turns out, but the gesture was appreciated! 

The only downside to the apartment was the loud music playing seemingly at all hours of the day/night. We stayed Sun/Mon and this was only a big issue on Monday night, although we did hear it at various times throughout our stay. The apartment is above a bar, but when we went to the bar earlier in the night, it didn't even seem to be loud, so I am not sure if it is coming from there or the neighbors. 
"
3403516,23678122,2014-12-08,4216537,Mitchell,Lovely apartment. Perfect location. Looks very disappointing from the outside entrance but surprisingly nice from the inside.
3403516,23784062,2014-12-10,21316713,Maureen,"Several posts from previous guests mentioned a gas smell in the apartment-- based on responses from host Alex we assumed the problem was corrected, but it is not. The gas smell is overpowering-- even with windows kept open all night we woke up with headaches and feeling nauseous. Alex promised to send a plumber to investigate-- then texted later that day that the plumber didn't smell anything. Seriously? Even the housekeeper that was assigned to clean the apartment was concerned to be inside the unit because of the strong gas smell-- she was outside calling her manager about her apprehension when we first arrived. We ended up cutting our trip short because the fumes had us both feeling sick---Alex apologized for the problems and promised a refund that never materialized. If the issues with the apartment were not safety related, I would just chalk it up as a bad experience, rather than write a bad review. But this is dangerous-- I wish someone had warned us, so please, be careful when choosing a place to stay!"
3403516,23850683,2014-12-12,22124560,Kaylie,"Location was amazing! We had everything we wanted to visit within walking distance of the apartment. Inside the apartment was very clean, eclectic and roomy. Bed is ginormous and comfy. The only thing that bothered us was the smell of gas, was pretty strong. "
3403516,23949173,2014-12-15,23297378,Em,"We felt like we had the run of the place. The apartment was super cute and in a great part of town - easy walking distance to the busier parts of town, but far enough away to be able to escape. The local recommendations were really helpful. The only drawback was the noise level in the bedroom since it's immediately above a busy street."
3403516,24050537,2014-12-18,23271751,Drew,"Our host was great. Location wise, the apartment was close to the bar scene on 6th street and there were great restaurants and foodtrucks within a few blocks. Alexandria was a gracious host and kept the apartment clean and listed recommendations of restaurants and bars. Bottom line would be glad to  have Alexandria as a host again. "
3403516,24186228,2014-12-22,20959746,Verity,"Really nice apartment,  close to transport and downtown. 
Alexandria gave us tips on where to go, and made it very easy to access the premises!"
3403516,24466127,2014-12-29,12132465,Jeff,"Alexandria made it easy to access the suite.  The posting was accurate, and we very much enjoyed the charming apartment.  Though the suite is located above a bar/restaurant, we could not hear the noise, and our toddler slept like a baby.  We very much enjoyed our stay. "
3403516,24579491,2014-12-31,5131085,Chris,Lovely apartment ! So cute ! Location great !
3403516,24751400,2015-01-02,12907712,Krissy,This apartment was very well decorated! I was a little unsure from the outside but the space is very cozy and filled with little accents that make it feel special. Great location with walking distance to many bars & restaurants. I loved my visit!
3403516,25075993,2015-01-06,11131686,Amanda,"The apartment was fabulous - super clean and spacious, only a short walk from the busy areas of Austin. I would definitely come back!"
3403516,25232888,2015-01-10,13678818,Benjamin,"If you want to stay in Austin, stay here. The location is unbeatable; in a great area, just east of downtown (but very walkable). Parking is a cinch and the area feels safe. The apartment is as described: Very charming and accommodating. The bed is comfortable, the shower's water pressure and temperature are solid and the hostess keeps in very good communication with you for your duration. "
3403516,25432508,2015-01-16,6802896,Kevin,"The place was so great. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Coffee shops, restaurants, and bars in the neighbourhood are perfect. The apartment was so clean and comfortable. No complaints at all!"
3403516,25507950,2015-01-18,25239879,Tyler,"Alexandria was great. Provided some great restaurant, cafe and bar recommendations. Location was perfect. Walking distance to a ton of great spots. Highly recommend. "
3403516,25653409,2015-01-22,21464762,Karyn,"The best part about this apt is the location.  It is very conveniently located, very close to downtown and convenient to everything in south Austin for sure.  
The apt is nice enough, but it wasn't super clean, and there were no hand towels so we had to go and buy paper towels.  The bathroom required a bit of cleaning before use and there was a hairball in the bed sheets when I went to bed the first night.  We aren't clean freaks, and I don't think we've ever pre-cleaned a condo we have rented before, but this just needed a little bit before using the bathroom. 
Kitchen has the basic amenities. 
Our last night we were visited by a bat (who we think snuck in through the gap between the a/c unit and the window). I emailed and texted the owner and the other contact the morning we left, but never heard from them.  We definitely left first thing in the morning because of the bat hanging from the curtain.  
Overall, if location is the most important thing, we would say it is ok for 2 people at the most. "
3403516,25787728,2015-01-26,22500767,Andrew,Clean apartment close to all the action. Great experience
3403516,25992345,2015-02-01,352349,Ben,"Great location, nice and clean.  My wife forget the apartment key one evening and we had one delivered to us in a matter of minutes.  I would recommend to anyone wanting to stay on 6th street."
3403516,26150880,2015-02-05,8101978,Kore,"Lovely gem that is as advertised. Stayed here for several days to attend a conference at the Convention Center, which was an easy 15-minute walk away. At first glance from outside the apartment may indeed seem ""rough"" as others have noted, but don't judge it by its cover; as soon as you enter, you immediately feel at home, safe and cozy. Kitchen has everything you need for cooking (though it seems almost a crime to cook when you're surrounded by great food carts galore!). While being on a main street and above a bar, the noise levels were moderate and it was quiet in the evenings. Happened to be there during a bit of a cold spell, but the portable heaters worked great and there are extra blankets on hand. Space is easily comfortable for 2 people (the bed is, as others have raved, huge!) and even 3 people at a time as the extra bed is in a separate section, though not entirely private (should this be a factor for a third person). I stayed here just after the previous reviewer and am happy to report that there were no bats :) and everything was quite clean. No aforementioned smell of gas either, so whatever issues there may have been before were certainly resolved by the time I stayed here. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to live in a quaint/comfortable home, in a neighbourhood with character, great street art, and away from the cookie-cutter hotel experience downtown. Not a bar-scene-hopper myself, but there are plenty of local bars in the area should you want to try, and a couple of great local coffee shops as well (loved Vintage Coffee across the street from the cemetery). Should you need major grocery shopping, H-E-B supermarket is an easy mile walk/drive away on 7th, as well as many other shops. Alexandria was always great to communicate with and while I did not meet her in person, check-in and check-out were an absolute breeze. Would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Austin again! "
3403516,26238867,2015-02-08,22382547,Michelle,"Alexandria provided everything needed before arrival. She had the heaters turned on as it was pretty cold which was nice. She was very accommodating as we had a 3rd guest on short-notice for one night and responded to all requests. The apartment was clean and had all of the basics. With two women staying together, it would have been nice to have an extra mirror with table top to get ready. The only available mirror was in the bathroom and often fogged due to no ventilation in the bathroom. We had to move some lamps around due to no working lights/bulbs in middle room. It's an easy walk from downtown but not quite as populated as other areas. There are restaurants/bars/shops and several food trucks nearby if you don't want to venture far. Uber fares ranged from $5-$10 to downtown and South Congress. The apartment is just as it is pictured. Very charming and comfortable. However, sleep was interrupted 2 nights due to neighborhood activity: someone breaking glass bottles? and neighbors having late night ""fun."" Going off the beaten path lends itself to new experiences so I'm guess I can't say that I'm terribly surprised.  The trade off is that it was considerably cheaper than local hotels for the same length of stay. All in all, it was a good experience for my first airbnb stay."
3403516,26523543,2015-02-15,13731930,Sam,"This place was as great as advertised. Convenient location, quaint feel, and a lovely place to stay. Would definitely recommend!"
3403516,26695122,2015-02-17,5361700,Denise,"Dear Alexandria
Sorry for my slow feedback response.   We liked your apartment and also it's location and how easy all the instructions were in arriving and departing.   It was clean and neat and charming.  Thank you again.  "
3403516,26970984,2015-02-23,17120777,Chris,"Alexandria's place was perfect for my Austin trip. I stayed here for an event at the convention center. I parked my car the day I arrived and didn't move it again until I left. The walk to the convention center is a bit over half a mile, and the neighborhood is safe for walking, even for a female alone after dark. If you like the food truck scene, the apartment is well situated, with at least a couple dozen within a few blocks. I ate several meals at various trucks, and all were very good.

The apartment is very nice. The king size bed is extra comfortable, and the twin bed is much nicer than it appears in the photos here. I think Alexandria must have added a mattress since the photos were taken. My roommate said it was very comfortable. The shower has great water pressure and gets good and hot, which made me happy. We had a couple of requests for Alexandria after we checked in (light bulb, kitchen towels, hand towels), and a simple text message resulted in the items being delivered to us less than an hour later.  I highly recommend this apartment if you're staying in Austin for events in the downtown area!"
3403516,27157860,2015-02-27,6230527,Hm,"This charming apartment was both charming and an apartment. Pretty good combo.

Host Alexandria provided great tips on food, music, and getting around. "
3403516,27254828,2015-03-01,25718758,Megan,This charming apartment was the perfect location to explore Austin.  There were many fun restaurants and bars near by and it was quick Uber ride (or a nice walk if the weather had been warmer) to other fun neighborhoods in Austin.  I highly recommend this property to anyone exploring Austin!
3403516,27573100,2015-03-08,115548,Sally,"The place was cute and nicely designed. Great location near good restaurants and shops. It was loud and we couldn't get the windows to fully close, but ear plugs and space heaters did the trick. Alexandria was accommodating and quick to respond. "
3403516,27796299,2015-03-12,4954403,Sarah & Chris,"The apartment is in a great location and has a funky vibe. When I realized it was short on some necessities, Alexandria dropped off a bag as soon as she could. It does get a bit noisy at night because the room is right on the street, so you might want some earplugs. 

I'd definitely stay here again!"
3403516,28317355,2015-03-22,1652306,Matt,"I had booked this apartment for a colleague staying in Austin for SXSW, and he could not have had better things to say about the apartment. 

The location was perfect for SXSW, and the apartment itself was very nice and clean. Alexandria was also extremely communicative.

Definitely would recommend this location! "
3403516,28604620,2015-03-27,27383336,Cynthia,"This cute little apartment is in a great location! We loved the neighborhood bars and restaurants. We walked everywhere while visiting -- downtown, soco, and the state capital, etc. Alexandria offered really good local tips and suggestions. Didn't have any reason to contact her but she made herself available :) "
3403516,28861592,2015-03-31,23659713,Anthony,"The apartment was great! Enough room for my girlfriend and I. Awesome location, close to everything. And the bed is really big!"
3403516,28984297,2015-04-02,19603001,Barrett,"Loved it! What an adorable place! It was just me this time but the apt. could easily fit 3 people comfortably and would be fantastic for a couple as well. The location was extremely convenient to downtown and was surrounded by restaurants, bars, and cafes. It was also spotless and well appointed- there were even some spare razors in the bathroom! Very handy :)"
3403516,29367885,2015-04-06,30367841,Niuver,"The place was very nice and clean, we felt like at home. Alexandria thought about all that we could need when you are traveling few days.  "
3403516,29657594,2015-04-11,25662760,Maximilian,"What a great stay in Austin at Alexandria's apartment! My girlfriend and I traveled to Austin for the first time and decided to stay in this apartment due to the great location. After renting bikes from the local bike shop on E 6th that Alexandria recommended, we were able to make it to everything we wanted to see by bike or on foot. Alexandria made everything very easy for us, leaving recommendations and accommodating our early check-in request. Due to the host and location I am hard-pressed to think of where I would rather have stayed, and know where I will be lodging during my next visit!"
3403516,29812981,2015-04-13,1112493,Lauren,"Exactly as described! My husband and I had an incredible trip, and we loved the apartment. We planned to use it as an affordable base to visit some of the more touristy areas (South Congress, Rainey St, 6th St, etc) but ""East 6th"" actually wound up being our favorite part of the city. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
3403516,29975429,2015-04-15,7363462,Inta,Thank you Alexandria for having us! We had a great time staying in Austin! The location of the flat is very good with a lot of places to go out just walking distance away! The main room has a very cool vibe and the bed is huge! 
3403516,30077655,2015-04-17,11948142,Andrew,"Alexandria's place was exactly as described and awesome! Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived, and the area was super convenient for our trip (granted we had a car). The bars on 6th street are only about a 10 minute walk away (albeit under the highway). Parking was very easy too. 

Alexandria was also great in communicating with us ahead of arriving and answered all questions promptly.  We had a great time in Austin, and thought this was a wonderful place to stay. "
3403516,30188840,2015-04-19,6557879,Katie,"Great apartment, great location. Super cute and convenient. Sputnik late night was also a plus. We'd definitely stay here again!"
3403516,30439272,2015-04-22,24864639,Bridget,"We really enjoyed this cute little apartment. It was a great location: super close to downtown/obviously on 6th st/a short walk to Rainey street. And a cheap uber or cab ride to South Congress or Zilker Park. The bed was super comfy, and there were tons of extra blankets provided. The air conditioning also worked great. We loved the design of the apartment and the mid century antique furniture. And we enjoyed the dvd collection. And the burger place downstairs was tasty!"
3403516,30667822,2015-04-26,27153622,Wade,The apartment was great and had a great stay overall. The bed was comfortable.

A great place that is definitely recommended!"
3403516,31179205,2015-05-03,27470415,Tena,The place was super well put together and well done for the quaint space.  Best neighborhood in the city!
3403516,32165300,2015-05-15,28776483,J.,The place was charming and Alexandria was always immediately responsive. Would certainly recommend to a friend!
3403516,32674591,2015-05-20,25800519,Kathryn,"This apartment was super sweet. I'd definitely stay here again. The window A/C units were life-savers since it was extremely humid and fairly hot during my visit. It was a straight shot down 6th street to get to the heart of downtown, and there's plenty of food trucks and other up and coming spots in the neighborhood. Check-in and out was easy and the place was clean and ready for me when I arrived!

It was perfect as a home-base while I was there 5 days and 4 nights for a conference. There's no cable, or any TV reception for that matter, but if you have a tablet or laptop the wifi is fast and reliable for streaming videos."

It's on 6th street and above a restaurant, so the outside noise was a bit loud at night. Otherwise, everything was great."

This apartment was very conveniently located- especially for going out super close to great bars and restaurants just down the street. It was decently sized for three people and had a few (really good) favorite places listed on a chalkboard in the kitchen to check out in the area. Everything listed on the amenities was provided, and we enjoyed our stay in this quaint, homey apartment!"

3403516,36291231,2015-06-27,1801297,Molly,"We had a fantastic stay in Austin. Loved that the apartment was close to bike rentals, accessible for uber cabs, and within walking distance to most shops and restaurants. Charming is a great word as described in the listing. Unique Decor and comfortable king bed! Neighborhood is relatively quiet and in what we thought to be a fun, hipster community. The entrance to apt is at the back of the building and somewhat dark, so I was glad I had a traveling partner. 
Overall, great stay and Alexandria was responsive via text when we needed to make contact! "
3403516,36654145,2015-06-30,6141036,Adam,"Great apartment in a super location, right near bars, food trucks etc on 6th street. Easy communication with host, wifi and air-con worked well, would definitely recommend "
3403516,37137224,2015-07-05,10814424,Kelli,"Alexandria's apartment was ideal for us. She was really flexible about arrival times and number of people staying. It was a great location in Austin and a lovely apartment with the full kitchen and two beds. We had a great time here! I also really appreciated that the A/C was on full blast for us as soon as we arrived because man, was it hot outside. "
3403516,37733694,2015-07-10,307442,Alexia,"Alexandria's apartment was perfect: it's ideally located in East Austin near loads of great food and places to drink and hang out, and is really well fit out with a huge and comfortable bed and lovely mid-century vibe. Alexandria's instruction are super clear and she provided excellent recommendations for local places eat. There's also a great fully equipped kitchen in the apartment if you want to cook, but really, there's is so much good food around that I didn't find the time. Very sorry to leave this little oasis in a wonderful town. Thanks Alexandria!"

3403516,38583740,2015-07-17,28459257,Cara,Good neighborhood for a tourist looking to go out.  Although near a bar the house was surprisingly quiet. The place has pretty much what you need and the host even brought more towels. The AC worked good thank goodness. I would stay here again. Thanks!

3403516,39791869,2015-07-26,27840458,Jenna,"Alexandria's place was fantastic!  It was the most adorable and charming apartment I've ever been in.  This was my first trip to Austin and I thought the neighborhood was great.  The apartment is above the Sputnik hot dog and hamburger restaurant (really great dogs and burgers) and there is a lot to do in the neighborhood.  It's close to plenty of bars, food trucks, coffee shops, etc.  I was able to walk to a lot of places, but downtown and the 6th st. bars  and Rainey Street are just a short Uber ride away.  The apartment was clean and tidy and was equipped with free wifi and Alexandria was quick to respond to all of my questions.  I would highly recommend staying at this apartment!  Thanks Alexandria!"

L'appartement est très joli et confortable, on s'y est sentis comme chez nous ! On reviendra assurément chez Alexandria lors de notre prochain voyage à Austin, nous avons adoré !"

It was also in a fantastic location, close to tons of bars and restaurants... try Licha's Cantina just down the block. We were a 15-minute walk or quick Uber when we wanted to go Downtown. Nice weekend!"
3403516,45440138,2015-09-02,17151863,Chelsea,Alexandria was a great communicator and the place was very clean and in good condition when I got there. Plus the location is unbeatable. I would definitely recommend it if you're in Austin!
3403516,45769052,2015-09-06,31489032,Brie,"The location was great and the place was comfortable.  There is a little noise from the bar below, but nothing that affected sleep.  Glad there was air conditioning, it was very warm outside.  The only thing that was missing was a full length mirror.  The one mirror in the bathroom is a little tricky with two women.  "
3403516,46261541,2015-09-09,28594414,Sonya,"The listing was very accurate. Very charming place in a great location. Fresh linens. Owner left ideas for meals and bike rental. We enjoyed walking to different places downtown. Comfy bed. Although hot outdoors, the a/c kept up and kept us cool. We even had the opportunity to enjoy the owner's DVD collection. Overall very good experience. Would stay again. "

3403516,46719710,2015-09-13,33858399,Amber,"Alexandria was a great host. The neighborhood was in a great location, walking distance to pretty much everything in the 6th street area. The property is very old, but Alexandria has done a great job fixing it up and truly making it a charming experience. Alexandria was available if we needed her, but we never felt as if we were staying in someone else's home (which was very important to us). She had great recommendations on where to eat and go out.  My husband and I enjoyed our stay, it was perfect for us. We would stay again."
3403516,47610267,2015-09-21,14124754,Jeremy,"It was a nicely located spot, conveniently near both the 6th St and Rainey St bar pockets. Alexandria was very flexible with early check-in if the cleaner was done early as well as letting us leave our bags there a bit past check-out."
3403516,48010059,2015-09-22,2257521,Tammy,"Alexandria's place was adorable, very instagrammable haha. I had everything I needed. I didn't get to spend much time there because I was working but everything was fine. 
My only complaint would be the mattress in the main bedroom has a really large person-shaped indent that I kept rolling into all night and outlets in the kitchen weren't working so I plugged the toaster in the bedroom. "
3403516,48675857,2015-09-28,13543071,Thomas,"The apartment was great! Exactly as advertised. Great location, a short walk to the lively section of 6th street and downtown."
3403516,49139600,2015-10-01,43212733,Patrick,"This place is AWESOME!  Clean and cozy with everything you need for an amazing weekend.  

The location is perfect.  It is walkable to a bunch of great restaurants and bars but just far enough away from the madness of downtown to offer a peaceful, quiet atmosphere.  

The place was as described, check-in and out was super easy. Will definitely try to stay here again when I return to Austin.  "
3403516,49588972,2015-10-05,19205627,Jordan,Alexandria was a wonderful host and provided great communication throughout my stay. The apartment was great and makes you feel right at home in a location around numerous restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again and will be recommending to all of my friends. 
3403516,50760514,2015-10-14,42528547,Brian,Great Location! Everything was nice and clean. We were even able to drop off our bags early. Great place to stay if you want to check out 6th street. 
5252779,29991265,2015-04-15,20351307,Bradley,"This was a great house. I stayed with Margo while preparing and presenting my Doctoral defense. It was a wonderful house. I have lived in Hyde Park in the past, so it was just like visiting home. "
5252779,33697003,2015-05-31,3646121,Tongsik,"Margo is exemplary in all her hosting activities. 
I arrived in Austin and chose a different temporary space. 
It was no good! Luckily, I found Margo's home. Margo also works at UT and her baby's godfather is my office mate, small world!!! I was there in May and June and it was a treat. Margo really cares about her guests and realizes how valuable they are. Her home is beautiful. Bright, spacious and peaceful. The rains were very strong in Austin in May, so it was a great escape while apartments were flooding only a few blocks away. Very green and everyone seems to know each other and help each other out. I know Margo has invested a lot of money into making her home top notch and it is beyond top notch. It's the Best!!! Hope to keep in touch with her. Highly recommended spot if you are coming to Austin for 30 days or more."
5252779,35025584,2015-06-14,17807555,Tyler,Margo and her beautiful were wonderful hosts and provided a great shared living experience. Her kindness and generosity went above and beyond the call of duty. She was very accommodating and I would recommend her cozy home to anyone wanting to stay in Hyde Park. 
5252779,42124741,2015-08-11,32117276,Sunmay,"超级推荐！在Margo家住了1个多月，Margo不仅给我介绍了超级多关于在奥斯汀生活的事,还帮我一起找房子。Margo是一个非常有耐心，充满正能量的人，住在她家感受到的绝对不仅仅只是作为租客而已。Thank you，Margo！"
5252779,42611774,2015-08-14,39907090,Elise,"Nice stay at Margo's ! The house was lovely and quiet, located in a beautiful and peaceful neighbourhood. 

What's more, Margo was very welcoming and so helpful (we arrived in Austin from France and didn't know anything about the city): she helped us find our ways around and gave us a lot of tips and advice about Austin. She was always nice and smiley ! 

Thank you Margo for everything ! "
5252779,47033020,2015-09-15,31632902,Mariaelena,"To be in the home of Margo and Lucas has been a wonderful charming and warm experience.
The  place  absolutely relaxing, comfortable, Green Hyde Park and the  house have the  perfect clima in huge open spaces inside and outside  coming home is  like arriving to an oasis in the middle of the torrid weather of Austin ending the summer. Very well communicated, safe with  nice educated neighborhood, just walking around their dogs and bodies. I highly recommend Margo Grace as the greatest host and her home as a perfect house to be, where you do not feel there is a precious baby 2 year old being around, that you can notice only to celebrate life blooming in it's best way, They have a very spacious room in the other side of the house, from where do you not hear the normal daily movement , the guest rooms are in total privacy. Kitchen and bathrooms big and in the best conditions. All High and warm quality of a house and host with soul "
3863473,18208901,2014-08-23,5369747,Maurício,"Jeddy is a great host and He will let you the most comfortable as possible!
The apartment is near the UT and the neighborhood is very secure. During my stay the apartment was undergoing improvements and I'm sure that will be an excellent place to stay (much better!). The room is very big with a private bathroom and a wonderful view of Austin!!! (OMG, it's unbelievable!!!)  He made my first airbnb experience go great. I'd like come back someday!"
3863473,19848420,2014-09-19,16168102,Chris,"Jeddy is an amazing host. The apartment has what's possible the best view in the city, and he put together a packet of information on all the local restaurants and bars with recommendations of things to do. Fresh towels and a bath robe hanging up for me in the bathroom, and the apartment was spotless. And Jeddy himself is friendly and happy to give tips on the city. Definitely will be back to hang out with Jeddy again."
3863473,21805819,2014-10-24,8100982,Yahia,"Jeddy m' a réservé un formidable accueil dans son appartement et s'est montré très flexible, puisque je suis arrivé avec un jour de retard, et j'ai toujours pu le contacter pour changer l'heure et le jour d'arrivée. Je le recommande amplement! "
3863473,22157106,2014-10-31,22452782,Kriti,"We needed a place to stay for a conference and were really lucky to find Jeddy's place. It was near to the conference center and much more affordable than the hiked up hotel prices around.

Jeddy provided very detailed instructions ahead of time that made checking in quite seamless. Having a parking space is also of high utility in this busy downtown area.

"
3863473,26139040,2015-02-04,466131,Andreas,"Had an incredible time staying with Jeddy. We had an opportunity to talk about our experiences as entrepreneurs, he took the time to share with me great places around Austin and the apartment itself was a very comfortable home to have during my week in Austin. The next time I'm in Austin, I'll be staying here again. I'm going to miss that balcony - the views were inspiring!"
3863473,26225807,2015-02-07,22252885,Linh,"Jeddy is a hospitable host with great communication.  He also cares about his guests and goes to great lengths to make sure they are comfortable; for example, he tries his best to make sure he would be available to greet his guests upon arrival.

The penthouse is exactly as described - clean and has an amazing view.  The proximity of the building to the airport, downtown and UT is very convenient.  The guides that Jeddy provides to his guests are very helpful.  The best part of the penthouse has got to be the bed.  The tempurpedic mattress is beyond comfortable!  It was so comfortable that we kept falling back to sleep on our first morning.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a place to stay during your visit to Austin."
3863473,27686411,2015-03-09,28419839,Laura,Jeddy was very welcoming. The listing was exactly what we were expecting. The master room was very spacious and the bed was great. It was a perfect place to stay and enjoy downtown Austin for the night.

3863473,28974410,2015-04-01,11726086,Kendra,Great stay. We enjoyed the room and patio was spectacular. Bed was extremely comfortable.
3863473,30095124,2015-04-17,3196295,Alison,"Jeddy is fantastically professional while being comfortably casual at the same time. I was in Austin for a business trip, and needed to catch the Megabus to fly out of San Antonio, so I found the closest Air BnB and crossed my fingers. The night before I had stayed in an elegant downtown hotel. Despite my initial reservations as I came into the building - the apartment is on the top floor of UT student housing - I felt more comfortable than I did in the sterile hotel room. It was super quiet, super clean, and deeply comfortable. I usually sleep like an eggshell in a new place, but I slept deeply all night."
3863473,30178346,2015-04-18,21614626,Kim,"Jeddy kept with my request for privacy during my trip. Comfortable bed, surroundings, professional communication, and no hassle ""check-in"" with clear directions. Highly recommend!"
3863473,30473187,2015-04-22,16966088,Milynn,The apartment is exactly as described and was in the perfect location if you're in Austin and wanting to stay near the campus or downtown.

3863473,30654775,2015-04-25,27913074,Bobby,"My first night was so great I stayed for an extra night. Amazing spot in a great section of Austin. Jeddy is a fantastic host, couldn't ask for better.

Thank you!"
3863473,32263622,2015-05-16,8290459,Susanna,"Jeddy was a fantastic host and he could not have been more accommodating.  The apartment was beautiful, quiet, and the location was ideal.  Stunning views of the city and university."

3863473,37044301,2015-07-04,31070125,Tim,"Great apartment: spacious, clean, and a balcony with a fantastic view over Austin. Good location within easy walking distance from the university, the Harry Ransom Center, and plenty of good bars and restaurants, plus only a little further from downtown. Jeddy was a helpful and attentive host, answering all of our questions promptly, and providing us with great recommendations for things to see and do in the city. Highly recommended."
3863473,38803968,2015-07-18,38387815,Ivor,We arrived late in the evening into Austin & Jeddy was very accommodating with check-in etc. Great to have free parking on site. Good location & great view. We booked last minute due to change of plans so perhaps that was the reason why the apartment wasn't as clean as we would have hoped.
3863473,40516661,2015-07-31,39061388,Darrell,"Indeed it was a really awesome experience! Relaxing view, clean and neat rooms. I believe I made the right choice. :)"
3863473,41909832,2015-08-09,32347304,Blake,Was able to book with Jeddy less than 4 hours prior to our intended arrival with confirmation and detailed instructions in less than 30 minutes! The accommodations were precisely as described! Ubers to 5th street were only $5.50 making the location perfect and very convenient.  Make this your next stay in Austin and you won't regret it!

3863473,46475610,2015-09-11,543528,Felice,I had a wonderful stay at Jeddy's beautiful apartment.  Perfect location for the AT&T conference center and he coordinated so that someone else was going to the same conference.  It worked out really well for our 10 minute walk to the AT&T conference center or a short uber ride!  Jeddy was very helpful and friendly.  The balcony was just what I needed to relax after long days.  Thank you Jeddy!
3863473,51170167,2015-10-18,17527486,Jack,"An absolute lovely place at a fantastic location. The place itself was immaculate and well-equipped. Being right by campus, it was incredibly convenient to get something to eat, grab a coffee, or go downtown. Jeddy is a great host who goes above and beyond to give his guest the best experience possible."
3863473,51861929,2015-10-24,14456480,Louisa,I didn't meet Jeddy in person but he was always quick to get back to me whenever I contacted him. It was a great stay!
6235984,37236136,2015-07-05,10256468,Meaghan,Veronica's apartment was part of a much larger complex with typical multi-building and gated layout. It was very spacious and well-lit and provided all of the necessary amenities. Veronica was very responsive to our questions and needs. We had a great stay!

1471531,8823338,2013-11-19,4925050,Miguel,Kendra was a fantastic host who was very responsive from my first enquiry prior to booking. She stayed in touch during our visit to ensure we were settled and had everything we needed. She was even nice enough to leave a great welcome package which was very considerate. Her home is only a few miles north of Austin which is a $20 cab ride or 10 minutes driving. Also in close proximity is the largest grocery store I have ever seen and various food and shopping options. Her home was clean and perfect for my staff and I to stay in for our visit to Austin for Formula 1 this year. Thank you Kendra !
1471531,10923211,2014-03-13,11932001,Alex,Kendra was an incredible / kind / amazing host and her property is truly one of a kind.  If you are looking for a high quality easy rental then she is your girl. 
1471531,20764479,2014-10-05,818753,Jamie,"Kendra was an amazing hostess. She was very easy to get in touch with and willing to answer any questions we had prior to our arrival. The house was very clean and spacious. We were even provided a few snacks (including some amazing local Austin coffee and beer) along with Internet and access to Netflix. Moreover, Kendra was nice enough to provide us with two air mattresses so that none of the people in our large party had to sleep on the floor or couch. Overall this was one of the best experiences I have had with Air B&B and would definitely book with Kendra again."
1471531,21132836,2014-10-12,19605621,Nilay,"Kendra was very accomodating to our schedules and prepared the place excellently for our arrival. The house was very clean and welcoming.

1471531,22231274,2014-11-02,18253481,Anuj,Right from our first day we really felt at home. Our kids loved it and we thought the location really gave us a feel of an Austin neighborhood (we used to live there so were looking for that experience). Kendra and Tim were great!

Kendra was extremely accommodating and even left us some food and drinks for our stay. Would definitely recommend. Awesome weekend, thanks!"
1471531,51023114,2015-10-17,23342947,Julianna,"Kendra was one of THE best hostesses I've had, by far!  My family and I travel often, so we have used Airbnb, VRBO, and other vacation rentals.  This was one of our best experiences yet.  The house was clean and welcoming.  We didn't have to purchase any kind of soap or essentials, which is always a HUGE plus in my book.  There were TONS of toys to keep my son occupied for an entire week!  Kendra also left us fresh orange juice, coffee/tea, and breakfast for our first morning!  I cannot say enough good things about this host.  The location is great -- near Austin, but in a quiet neighborhood with access to pretty much anything you'd need (drug store, grocery store, takeout, Starbucks, etc).  Easy access to main roads.  Another big plus -- BLOCKS from the Thinkery, Austin's children's museum, which is fantastic.  "
1969618,9625689,2014-01-03,3799898,Blake,"Stayed in Austin over New Years and had a great time made even better by the top notch accommodation. Well appointed house with plenty of space, nice furniture and all amenities covered, even a 6 pack of beer in the fridge and spare tooth brush and paste packs in the bathroom. Bikes were provided which made the experience even better, plus the hosts were very helpful with offering info for bars and  places to eat etc. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for nice accommodation in a location close to the action. "
1969618,9721431,2014-01-06,2831749,Laura,"This house is AWESOME. Very spacious, modern, and accommodating. I stayed there with 3 other people and had plenty of room. It's perfect for having company over before heading out downtown. Would definitely recommend!"
1969618,9978500,2014-01-22,11165987,Anna,"My boyfriend and I LOVED this house! We highly recommend this place to anyone who loves modern decor and loves to bike/run! 

The house was extremely clean, bed was very comfortable, nice linens, and I can easily see a large group being very comfortable here. The outdoor space is great for hanging out! 

The location is AMAZING! A block away from the entrance to Birdie Lake and the Colorado River trail. The trail is miles long where you can bike, run, stroll, or even go canoeing/kayaking. The two bikes that come with the house were in super condition and perfect for getting around - No point to rent a car if you plan on hanging out in the downtown Austin area. You can take the trail to downtown (less than 2 miles away) or you can ride through the neighborhood (East 6th Street, a mile away, has tons of food trucks, bars, and restaurants). You can take the trail to South Austin and visit South Congress Street (great food/shopping) and/or visit Barton Springs for a swim! 

The house is located in East Austin, which is a residential neighborhood. If you like a perfectly manicured neighborhood, then this isn't the location for you. However, we felt extremely safe and loved how authentic East Austin felt! ""Real"" Mexican restaurants can be found just a block away. 

The owners couldn't have been nicer. Greeted us when we arrived and took the time to give us awesome recommendations. They were very responsive throughout the entire process. Next time I visit Austin I know exactly where I am staying :) "
1969618,10048145,2014-01-27,11042905,Daryoosh,"Steven was responsive from the beginning to the end of the process and made everything very easy for us. After I told him about our group size he went and got us air mattresses that same day. 

The house was clean and great for our group of 8. The place is a quick cab ride from downtown and you can walk to town lake. We had a great time in Austin and I will definitely consider staying there again when I'm back in town. DM"

1969618,10248721,2014-02-09,1832711,Kelly,"We loved Steven's place! He's an awesome host, and really made us feel comfortable. He was always super prompt with our communications, and a pleasure to deal with. We can't wait to return!"
1969618,10419497,2014-02-18,3480439,Yundi,"I loved the space!! Steve (and Andrew!) was very responsive and accommodating during the process. It's very spacious and with a very clean feel. I was there for my big 3-0 celebration, and have to say it was the BEST choice to stay here! 

I stayed there with 3 of my friends, and also had a lunch gathering at the location with a group of other friends. Overall I have received only positive responses of the location from everyone! My friends and I especially enjoyed the outdoor space including the picnic table and bamboo garden :) 

The communication between Steve/Andrew and myself were great and I felt very welcomed! Would highly recommend working with them and also for the location! Cannot ask for a better host for Austin! 
 "
1969618,10598003,2014-02-26,5760302,Jennifer,"Steven's place is fantastic.  Every detail has been well thought out and it's immaculate. The kitchen is awesome and so are the stained concrete floors and all the natural light.  The best part, hands down, is the huge outdoor tub.  3-4 people could fit, honestly.  Unlimited hot water means hours of star gazing.  Steve is an excellent host--always available, communicative, all around really easy to work with.  I didn't really need anything because everything was figured out but when I had a question about anything, he was on it.  The place is perfect if you want to check out and relax.  Thanks Steven, I will definitely be back. "
1969618,10652918,2014-03-01,7057248,Tina,The reservation was canceled 354 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1969618,10675260,2014-03-03,1555705,Robyn,"High level - Book this place!! The house is comfortable (beds and pillows are great) spacious (two stories with bedrooms upstairs and beautiful sitting areas outside) impeccably clean and the communication with Steven and Andrew is great! 

More specifically - The location is perfect wedged between downtown, the bars and clubs on 6th street and access to Town Lake. The #17 bus is a short walk and stops at the bars/clubs on 6th street, downtown close to the Capitol and further down to west 6th. The #17 also goes to the airport which is a great option if you pack lightly. If you are a runner it want to ride the bikes access to a great trail is a block away and is a great way to see Austin. There are great galleries close by and some tasty food. 

I whole heartedly recommend this place! I had so much fun and was absolutely relaxed and comfortable.  If I come back to Austin I will stay here.   "
1969618,10748735,2014-03-05,4268770,Christiaan,"Andrew and Steven were the best kind of hosts: friendly, available, but non-invasive. The house is absolutely charming and conveniently located for east side and downtown attractions, and it's a definite bonus to have Apple TV and comfy couch in case of inclement weather (as was the case with our stay). The yard was closed in so our dog could roam free, and there's a a nearby lake and walking trail for a quick outdoor excursion. Highly recommend!"
1969618,11174508,2014-03-24,11736236,Maegan,"My group of girls had a great time at the home. Its close to town and an easy drive home. Steven was very helpful, understanding, and very quick to respond. "
1969618,11306823,2014-03-29,9798138,Andrew,"Had a great week long stay. The house had fantastic modern accomodations and was just what I needed for a place to sleep, eat & work from with the rock-solid wifi. Hope to stay here agian on my next work trip! Thanks again Steven."
1969618,11347197,2014-03-31,11464101,Brittany,"This place was fantastic! It's ideal for 4 perfect for 6. We stayed for the weekend with 12! We had air mattresses (that were provided) scattered about so if that doesn't bother you big groups are good. There is one shower excluding outside so ladies prepare for that ;-). Steven stayed in contact and helped above and beyond, along with Charles. They are incredibly nice and attentive. Parking is on the street excluding the one car garage. It's pretty close to the river and decently located near downtown, we cabbed it a lot so if that's your plan allow some extra time especially on busy weekends. I definitely suggest it. It's adorable, cozy and convenient."
1969618,11497674,2014-04-05,324527,Luciana,"Going back to this house, 6 years after it was built was an absolute pleasure!  Steven has taken great care of it.  Steven was there to greet us upon our arrival and was very welcoming, he even dropped off some beer for us.  The house was very clean (and I am a clean freak!); the linens were clean (that's another pep peeve of mine: linens must look and smell fresh!  Sometimes I am scared to see the linens in vacation rentals...); the house was maintained and everything was functional; the beds were comfortable and the location is unbeatable.  Great value, great property, all thumbs up!  Will definitely stay here again on our upcoming trips!
"
1969618,11537735,2014-04-07,12224437,Amber,"Overall, I really enjoyed staying at Steven's house! It was a very nice place that easily fit six girls for my bachelorette party, and it was a reasonable drive to Austin hot spots like 6th Street and Rainey Street. We had a really great time! :)

The one tip I would leave for potential renters: Be sure you leave the place like you found it and take pictures of anything that may be wrong with in the home when you get there. Upon returning home, I received a rather nasty email from Steven stating that we had left the place a complete mess and was ""appalled"" by what he encountered. I felt really badly about this, and offered to pay for damages. He sent me an email that included what he found wrong with the house. While some pictures did show damaged items, others showed three bobby pins on the sink, trash in the trashcan, an unmade bed, a feather on the floor. His extreme reaction did not match the reality of the mess. What was the $75 cleaning fee for if not to take out the trash and other such tasks? In his directions, it did not say to leave the house as you found it, or we definitely would have.

Another thing that slightly bothered me was that he tried to charge an additional $50 cleaning fee because his cleaner had to take an additional two hours (5 hours total) to clean up the house. He sited makeup smeared on the wall as the main cause of the charge. I had no recollection of anything on the white walls and asked to see a picture. He did not include a picture of said mess in his email to me, but still tried to charge me for it. 

Like I said, it was a beautiful place and fun weekend, and I hate to give it such a low rating. I just wish Steven would have been more direct about what he expected from his renters to save me the hassle. "
1969618,11740291,2014-04-14,11624531,Lindsey,"The pictures are true to how awesome this place is! Very clean, safe, and comfortable. We had a full house and were concerned with running out of hot water for all of the showers, but we never did. It was great!"
1969618,12272251,2014-04-28,423511,Candace,"There are two main things that I loved about Steven's home:

1.  It is less than two miles from downtown Austin
2.  It is completely detached, unlike most homes we have stayed in off airbnb.  Privacy rocks!"
1969618,12608696,2014-05-06,12218172,Brian,"The place was fantastic, the price was right, and the location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go all weekend. Would definitely recommend, and stay again! Thanks for everything. Cheers!"
1969618,13052004,2014-05-18,1732819,Jared,"Steven was extremely quick with all replies, very accommodating and he made the entire process very seamless. The house itself was great and I will be staying here again. "
1969618,13129615,2014-05-20,9287902,Catherine,"This house is perfect for groups!  I stayed this past weekend with 9 girls and had a fantastic time.  The outdoor space is beautifully designed and the upstairs bedrooms are decently sized.  The house is minimally decorated and sleeping space is tight for the party size advertised, but the price is unbeatable.  It's located in a quiet suburban neighborhood, which allows for a 15-20 minute walk into town or a short cab ride.  Also it's roughly a $30 cab ride from the airport.

You are getting more than you pay for with this gem! "
1969618,13404719,2014-05-27,11946513,Shannon,Steven and Andrew made everything so simple and easy for us. They were always very prompt on responding to my questions and the place was beautiful! Very true to the pictures and such a great place for a group of 5 girls. I would DEFINITELY suggest this place to anybody looking for a great time in Austin without staying in an expensive hotel with less amenities. 
1969618,13548343,2014-05-30,1832711,Kelly,"This was our 2nd time staying at Steven's house, and once again, we absolutely loved our time there! Great host, fantastic place…it really doesn't get any better."
1969618,13647523,2014-06-02,11571467,Stephanie,"I recently stayed at the house with a group of 7 other girls for a bachelorette weekend. We loved it! There were more than enough towels, bedding, and places to sleep with the extra blow up mattresses stored. I also made breakfast for the girls and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed to make fabulous dishes. I also really loved the area we were in. It was super close to a grocery store, gas station, breakfast tacos, cupcakes... you know, the important things! It was also very close to south congress, 6th street and rainey street for going out purposes. Steven was so great to work with! He was always readily available to chat with and always answered my questions, and I had a lot of them! I would easily stay here again when back in Austin. Not enough great things to say about this place and the host!"
1969618,15027103,2014-07-01,12263937,Julia,"This was my first airbnb experience as well as my first trip to Austin.  I had really good communication with Andrew and he was very helpful.  
The house is in a great location.  It was quick to get to downtown and easy access to south Austin as well.  The neighborhood is quiet and has nearby conveniences.  The house is very modern, clean, and bright.  It has a great kitchen, which was very helpful because my husband and I stayed for the whole month.  There are plenty of towels and other amenities, as well as a washer and dryer.  It really felt like a home away from home.  They provide great outdoors space, bicycles, or even Netflix if you want to just stay in.   
I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a lot of space, privacy, conveniences of home, and easy access to the city."
1969618,15208560,2014-07-05,12091598,Wolfgang,"Very nice Home. Thanks for staying in the nice House.
Wolfgang, Germany"
1969618,15878540,2014-07-17,2691972,Justin,"What a cool place!  First of all, Steven was an excellent host - very easy to communicate with.  The condo has a funky, non-traditional minimalist vibe with lots of interesting details.  It is a very creative space that was exactly what we were looking for.  There are lots of extras like an upstairs porch, bikes to use, a ""Zen"" area outside, a garage and more.  The location was perfect as well - very close to downtown.  "
1969618,17212582,2014-08-09,17057703,Jaime,"We stayed for 2 full weeks. The house is very nice, it is really as shown in the pictures. The host was available by email and by phone at all times. We enjoyed our stay, certainly this house will be our fist option to stay next time we travel to Austin. "
1969618,17352064,2014-08-11,16816635,Allen,"Steven was friendly and accomodating.  There was a small issue with the air conditioner that he had resolved as soon as possible.  The house was clean when we arrived, with everything in order.  The location was very central to everything I wanted to do, and easy to find.  I would definitely stay here again.  "
1969618,17856655,2014-08-18,3340299,Ross,"Neighborhood was great, a 20-minute walk to either 6th street or Rainey St.  Place was nice and clean, with all the household amenities we needed.  Garden, patio and deck were all night to have, and the one private parking spot is a big plus too.  I would definitely come back and stay here with friends."
1969618,18682407,2014-08-30,20113251,Kailey,"Steven made me (and the dog!) feel extremely welcome.  Victor, the house manager was accessible and quick to respond to texts if there was anything I needed. I live in Northwest Austin and needed to find a place to get away for a week. The price is very fair, especially considering what you get staying at the house. It was great to be near downtown.  There are a lot of great restaurants and bars in walking distance from the house.  (And close to Juan in a Million, where you can pig out and then walk off that big amazing breakfast taco on your way home.  Win/win!).  It is a hip, diverse neighborhood that reflects all the best of Austin.  The house was clean, comfortable, stylish, and had any amenities I needed, and if there was anything I should have required I wouldn't doubt Victor would take care of it! Thank you for a wonderful first experience with Airbnb!"
1969618,18874245,2014-09-02,8893513,Chad,Great place. Friendly host. Made helpful suggestions. Flexible with check-in and out. Would definitely stay again!
1969618,19227422,2014-09-08,20310380,Alan,Communication was great with Steven. He answered all of our questions quickly. House was great and as advertised. I highly recommend staying here!
1969618,19699033,2014-09-16,1312480,Steve,"Loved the location, clean, stylish space with private outdoor areas. The host was very helpful by checking in before arrival.  "
1969618,20011902,2014-09-22,7329413,Jacob,I great property in excellent location in compared to where you want to be in austin . Beautiful house with all he convent appliances . Host was great with his communication both prior too and during my visit . Will for sure book again 
1969618,20269365,2014-09-26,4318427,Mindy,"This place had such potential. The host Steven had excellent communication and was very easy to work with. I was able to book the same day and we got to bring our dog. Unfortunately, the photos are way better than the actual place. I was so looking forward to a soak in the ""outdoor tub"" which turned out to be a metal basin with standing water, bugs and leaves in it. Not exactly the Zen experience I thought I was walking into. The entire home minus a few pieces were straight out of Ikea and the beds were terribly uncomfortable. The furniture is not comfortable and the home is not relaxing. It is not a place to stay and relax. It would be great if you are going to Austin to party and just need a place to crash. It's reasonably priced and in a good location for that. While we truly enjoyed working with Steven, overall we were very disappointed with our stay. "
1969618,20493409,2014-09-30,17344222,Jenna,"Loved the place! We had two couples staying so there was plenty of space for the four of us. We didn't partake in the outdoor shower but once the weather is a little cooler and the mosquitoes aren't as bad, I'd imagine it would be great. 

Steven was super helpful. The AppleTV didn't work when we first arrived but Steven was responsive and had the issue resolved as soon as he could. 

The neighborhood is very cute, a little up and coming but more on the ""up"" I'd say. Cenote is a short walk down Cesar Chavez and delicious. We ate there four different times in a 4-night stay. We took ubers to Rainey Street and South Congress and both trips were right around $10 each way, not bad at all. 

Would definitely stay again! 

"
1969618,21013084,2014-10-09,5138291,Chandni,"We had a wonderful time at this spacious, modern Austin home! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who needs a place in Austin!"
1969618,21131421,2014-10-12,12303931,Meredith,We had a good visit to Austin and enjoyed this home as a launch pad for our exploration. The home is as pictured on the website: compact and modern and clean. It was a quick drive to the restaurants and sites we visited. Steven responded very quickly to our questions and to a very minor issue with the door in the car port. 
1969618,21502780,2014-10-19,10852412,Mike,"We (3 people) spent a week in this cool place, enjoying the space and the modern architecture of this house. The description was totally accurate, and we felt very much at home. It is true that the neighborhood is not as upscale as the house itself, but we felt safe and comfortable. We did not really miss anything, but maybe a microwave would be a welcome addition to the otherwise complete kitchen equipment. The bikes were a great plus, thank you very much for making them available to us. We definitely recommend using them for a tour along the river, it's great! "
1969618,21938165,2014-10-27,4209195,Sarah,"Steven was an incredibly helpful host. I had a group of 7 girls here for a bachelorette party and not one of us remembered a hair dresser. I text Steven to see if there was one somewhere in the house and he actually had one dropped off for us. I have never had an Air BNB host go so above and beyond.

Steven was a great help all weekend and even accommodated us by letting us leave our bags a bit later.

The house is very spacious and in a convenient location. It was very easy to take a Lyft or Uber out at night and we actually were able to walk to a lot in the day. 

Great place, great location & great host. I would recommend to any larger group coming for the weekend. "
1969618,22203609,2014-11-01,2469077,Nickey,"The house was fantastic! Super modern, comfortable and a great neighborhood. I have already recommended it to a number of friends 
that use airbnb. "
1969618,22287432,2014-11-03,1205884,Luke And Rachel,"Steven's home was wonderful! We had a few wedding guests staying there during our wedding, and they just loved it. Very clean and convenient location. Comfy beds!! Flexible check out in allowing one guest to leave her bag there before her flight!! Great space. "
1969618,22642692,2014-11-11,4730393,Rick,"We were in town for a music festival and had a great time. The house fit our needs perfectly!  Also, it's walking distance (20 min or so) to La Barbecue and other great eating establishments / drinking holes.  Recommended!"
1969618,22854016,2014-11-16,23127467,Jason,"Steven's house was very nice. Even better than pictured. Very unique set-up. The balcony was a nice addition as well. Steven was also very quick to respond to messages which was greatly appreciated. The bed was comfortable too. The location is in the heart of the Hip Eastside and easy to find great food and coffee, with a short drive to South Congress area. I had a great stay and would definitely like to come back on my next trip to Austin."
1969618,23173880,2014-11-24,1506173,Andrew,"The Host:  Steven was an incredibly gracious host.  Not only did he give us full access to his home, his bikes, and his amenities, but he also cut our group a bit of a discount.  I hope that my future Airbnb hosts can be this kind.  

The Place:  The place was nice- very much what I expected by the pictures.  I enjoyed the modern fixtures, comfortable bed, fast internet, and the zen area outside.  In terms of location, I personally liked that it was outside the beaten path.  However, if you're looking for a central location in the heart of downtown, this may not be the place.  

All in all, I enjoyed my stay at the Bamboo house and would recommend it to others. "
1969618,23434533,2014-12-01,21401600,Tina,"We had a fabulous time in Austin and Steven's place was just perfect for our needs.  The location gave us easy access to biking and hiking trails, and the downtown activities were nearby as well.  The house was as advertised, clean and well appointed.  Loved the outdoor deck and patio.  Booking, arrival, and check-out were hassle-free, and Steven responded quickly to questions or concerns.  I recommend this listing wholeheartedly."
1969618,23755217,2014-12-09,4856,Bos,"House was very close to the airport and easy to get to. Keys were located in a lockbox and instructions were all sent via email prior to arrival. Checking in and checking out was a breeze. Steven was a great host and was very accessible when needed. 

Really enjoyed our stay. The house was great, the living space is very open, clean and comfortable. Wifi speeds were really great, amenities were great and there are great outdoor areas at the house to enjoy and it's located very near the lake walking/bike trail. Otherwise it's not a very walkable location as it's a bit of a trek to get to downtown or other neighborhoods, shops/restaurants by foot, so a car is ideal as there isn't much around the house. It is off the main road (cesear chavez) so getting a taxi/uber or the bus isn't much of an issue.

Overall the experience was wonderful and Steven was a perfect host. He allowed us to check in early and check out late! A+! Would definitely consider staying here again."
1969618,24033458,2014-12-17,24336998,Bryce,"Excellent, well-maintained house in a great part of Austin! Steven was very accommodating and great to work with."
1969618,25545631,2015-01-19,1419971,Mary,"I lovelovelove this space! Comfortable, stylish, safe, endless amenities, and amazing hosts! My stay was during the coldest and wettest days in Austin so I didn't get to take full advantage of the beautiful outdoor spaces, but while indoors there were many things that made it worth being stuck inside a few days.  The kitchen is beautiful and was stocked with coffee/tea items, gas stove made cooking easy, all the pots, pans, and dishes needed to feel at home.  Upstairs was comfy and gorgeously decorated, the deck upstairs also has a partial view of the downtown Austin skyline which I didn't even expect! Great communication and flexibility, I will be staying here again! Thank you for everything!"
1969618,25771169,2015-01-25,23486038,Corbin,"Steven was a gracious and very attentive host. The place is beautiful, and I highly recommend it. "
1969618,25901678,2015-01-29,1763180,Shannon,"This was a fantastic place to stay as newcomers to Austin. It was clean, spacious, charming, and well-situated in the city. I didn't meet Steven but he was quick to offer suggestions for places to eat, drink and see. I'd definitely stay here again.  "
1969618,26076360,2015-02-02,15654170,Chris,"This was my first time booking here, and Steven made the entire process painless and without worry. I visited Austin to get away for a few days, and his bamboo hideaway helped me accomplish that. His communication was quick, and precise, so I had no unanswered questions; I had hoped to not be disturbed, and that was delivered. I was so comfortable that I considered staying an extra night, and I will most likely book with Steven again.

1969618,26302719,2015-02-09,24966479,Joe,"Steven was a pleasant host. He even stopped by with more towels because there wasn't enough in the house. Great price, good location (cheap uber rides to 6th st). "
1969618,26602849,2015-02-16,1615122,Sara,"Description of Steven's home is spot-on. Great space. Clean, modern, perfect for 4 people. Communication was easy and convenient. Great host with a wonderful recommendation book that he put together. Would absolutely recommend this home for anyone visiting Austin!!!"
1969618,27188141,2015-02-27,12286472,Lanny,Steven is a excellent host and communicator. His place is exactly as described. The house is clean and comfortable and everything works as listed. I would definitely stay in the Bamboo Hideaway again.
1969618,27532715,2015-03-07,12922718,Erin,"This was a great place to stay.  The house is comfortable and clean and has all the amenities you need for a nice stay in Austin.  Steven and Andrew were responsive and quickly fixed a minor hot water problem as soon as we told them about it. The neighborhood is cute. We came without a car and did a ton of walking to get to bars/restaurants etc.  Would have loved to use the bikes, but it was too cold. I would definitely stay here again with pleasure. "
1969618,27808520,2015-03-12,23989153,Christine,"My wife and I had a great stay at Steven's place. It was really clean and I love the modern layout/feel of the place. Steven was responsive and answered all of my questions promptly. Everything that we needed was right at our finger tips, we felt right at home. "
1969618,28157367,2015-03-19,20506745,Anders,"This was a lovely place. Very cool and nice house in a great location - easy bicycle ride to the city center, or a nice stroll through the neighborhood.
And some very nice local beers that the host had left in the fridge for us :-)
We felt very comfortable and welcome."
1969618,28784626,2015-03-30,3019104,Steven,"Great home, plenty of space, well furnished.  Perfect for our group.  Steven was very accommodating with our flexible schedule and resolved issues in a fair manner.  Highly recommended."
1969618,29663996,2015-04-11,22333122,Holley,"Fantastic house, great location, good bikes. Everything was perfect! The house was even bigger than it appeared in the photos & very clean. It was handy having a washer & dryer  during our stay. Can't recommend this house more highly!"
1969618,29966791,2015-04-15,26490837,Bob,"Our visit in Austin at E Austin Bamboo Hideaway went very well.
Our host Steven was great and was quick to respond with any request or information we needed. Will stay there again for sure next time we are in Austin

Bob"
1969618,30171752,2015-04-18,26763569,Christopher,"Steven was a nice, highly communicative host! The space is nice, distance not too far from Rainey street (a straight shot), and well supplied. Very comfortable!"
1969618,30284481,2015-04-20,2435866,Lauren,"Steven's place was wonderful! Very clean and comfortable, and just a short walk or ride to the hike/bike trail. Nice quiet neighborhood, and the balcony was perfect for morning coffee. Great communication and easy check in and out. Would definitely stay here again!"
1969618,31223808,2015-05-03,30285601,Adam,"Great place, comfortable and clean.  Nice deck/porch.  Fast internet. Close to downtown. 2 real beds and a futon."
1969618,31764808,2015-05-10,26482057,Amy,"I did not personally meet Steven, but he was available to answer all my questions. Even though we could not check in early, he allowed me to drop off my suitcases and groceries. That was very helpful. The house was clean and everything worked properly. Having the use of bicycles made the location ideal."
1969618,32126002,2015-05-14,9798138,Andrew,"My 4th stay at Steven's E Austin Bamboo Hideaway, this time with my wife and 6yr old. A fantastic location, *right behind* the awesome new Laundrette restaurant. Plenty of sleeping options and clean."
1969618,32528426,2015-05-19,30845560,Ned,"I stayed at the Bamboo Hideaway for a weekend with a group of friends.  It was fantastic.  The house and patio are great.  There are tons of linens, towels, umbrellas and basically anything else you would need for your stay.  Steven is an AirBnB pro.  He is excellent at communication and I always felt like he was there immediately if I had a problem, which I didn't.  Thanks Steven!"
1969618,32712093,2015-05-20,16669971,Lindsey,"So great! My boyfriend and I can't say enough about this house and the owner; though we never met Steven was polite, personable and so accommodating. Check in was a breeze as well. As for the house? We fell in love! Modern is totally our style, but even if it's not there's no way you won't appreciate his touches on the house. Equipped with everything you need, and 2 bikes (!!!) I would recommend this home to anyone looking to check out Austin! "
1969618,33044186,2015-05-24,4968678,Ashley,"This Bamboo Hideaway was an exquisite modern oasis on the East Side and surpassed my expectations. It's comfortable, quiet, clean and well maintained. Don't hesitate on this one, it's well worth the price for what you get. I will be back!"
1969618,34544500,2015-06-09,27894464,Brad,"The house was exactly as described in the listing. Great location, plenty of space, and very clean. "
1969618,35078436,2015-06-15,3654967,John,Steven's place in East Austin couldn't be in a better location for anyone visiting Austin. The low-key vibe of the neighborhood was a nice contrast from the busyness of downtown's Sixth Street and close to chill nightlife and great food. The house was exactly as described and a clean and modern retreat to call home for a few days. I would highly recommend staying here.
1969618,35529466,2015-06-19,17051807,Brandon,"Excellent everything. As described, great price, great location, and awesome host. Will be back for sure."
1969618,35784245,2015-06-22,261766,Corey,The place was wonderful and the location was (website hidden) works really well which was badly needed in Austin that week.  Most places around the house are walkable and I would recommend just using Uber/Lyft instead of renting a car due to closeness of house.  There were 6 of us in the house and although only 1.5 bathrooms it didn't seem to be much of a problem.    The beds were very comfortable and I am usually pretty picky about beds.  We had a great stay at Steven's place and would book again in the future.
1969618,36701166,2015-06-30,12187838,Kirsten,"It was extremely easy to access the place, there were excellent directions. The home was clean and welcoming upon arrival. There were all the amenities you would need, i.e. shampoo, blow-dryer, towels, etc. All of the beds were nicely made and the sheets were fresh and clean. I appreciated the guide book that Steven left for guests, it listed lots of great restaurants and sites in the area. We loved the open floor plan of the downstairs and the privacy of the bedrooms upstairs. It was a truly lovely experience in every way. And the air conditioning worked great! Which is definitely important in Austin. Also - the place is directly next to Launderette, which was one of our favorite restaurants we went to while in Austin. Great location, great place, would definitely stay again gladly!"
1969618,36994220,2015-07-03,597002,Mayer,"Place was amazing, exactly as advertised.  I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in town."
1969618,37372915,2015-07-06,3690550,Zach,"Steven's place was just as pictured: modern, well-lit and open; in a great area of town. The upstairs covered balcony is very private and a great place to unwind after a day on the town. Steven was a fantastic host and made everything extremely easy for our arrival and departure. Would definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks Steven!"
1969618,38778097,2015-07-18,25361198,Gilad,Incredible house in a fantastic location. Steven was a great host and everything was flawless.
1969618,39729046,2015-07-26,11121038,Paige,"This place is fantastic. We stayed for a little over a week and loved everything about this place. The layout works, the place is stocked with all the essentials, the neighborhood is great, the garage is handy, the wifi and netflix are easy to access, my kids loved the outdoor bathtub, I loved the upstairs patio, the courtyard is pretty and private, it's a couple minutes to downtown, and the nearby restaurants are ideal. The beds are comfy with lots of extra pillows and quilts, and the pair running the place are very courteous and professional. Basically, it's clean, cute, convenient, and under-priced for Austin."
1969618,40372868,2015-07-30,38397755,Catherine,"We loved staying at Steven's place in East Austin. The space worked perfectly for 5 of us. Steven was very responsive to any quesitons we had and left a house manual with lots of recommendations for things to do in the area. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and the bikes that were provided. The space was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. We went biking everyday as restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and downtown are all a short ride away. Would definetely stay here again!  "
1969618,41227464,2015-08-05,4521685,Keely,"Steven and Andrew were perfect hosts!  They were super responsive and checked in to make sure we had we needed.  The listing was exactly as presented - comfortable, stylish and perfect for our needs.  Having the bikes was a huge plus, and the outdoor tub was the icing on the cake.  Plus the house was in a great location, a few blocks from the river, two different (free!) community pools, and walking distance from quite a few awesome spots to eat, drink and hang.  LOVED it!"
1969618,42174679,2015-08-11,28924307,Nick,"Steven was quick to respond and very easy to work with.  The place was just as clean and interesting as it looked in the photos. Plenty of clean towels.  Very cool and private place. Outdoor shower was a nice touch!  Great location, your about 5 min Uber ride to most of downtown but plenty of restaurants walking distance as well. Checkin and checkout was a breeze. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Steven!"
1969618,43029210,2015-08-17,15285397,Susie,"Wonderful, spacious house with a great host! You can't beat the location. It's close to everything, and the rest is a quick and cheap Uber/Lyft ride away. The furniture and beds were very comfortable. Steven was very responsive and helpful, and left a great guide with recommendations for the area. I would recommend this spot for anyone visiting Austin in a group."
1969618,43396561,2015-08-19,9702424,Catherine,"The house was exactly as described and in an awesome location. It was spacious, nicely furnished and had all the amenities I could want. The W&D was especially nice. The restaurant right behind the place was amazing too. "
1969618,43858977,2015-08-22,2774501,Kate,"Although I never met Steven, he was so great through our whole stay.  He is very easy to get ahold of and so accommodating.  The apartment is lovely. Thanks Steven!"
1969618,44180322,2015-08-24,1227416,Jon,"Steven was very accommodating. Checked in with us periodically (by phone) to make sure we had everything we needed. The house was in a great location, easy to get to downtown, to the river near by (walking distance). The apartment was very clean, had great utilities, was quiet and comfortable. Air conditioning was fantastic! Had all the appliances we needed to make breakfast so we could enjoy long days out in the sun. We loved the outdoor tub! Would definitely stay there again! "
1969618,45271905,2015-09-01,5516550,Steven,Wonderful trip. House was clean and comfortable. Great location Definitely recommend this house. 
1969618,45541153,2015-09-03,34950620,Steve,Steven was able to accommodate us on short notice and the entire process was very smooth. Would highly recommend the place!
1969618,46133371,2015-09-08,105300,Anthony,"The house is exactly as advertised and had everything we wanted. Steven was helpful and easy to deal with, I'd definitely be back."
1969618,47057215,2015-09-15,10589817,Ruddy,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steven's hideaway, located in a charming neighborhood just a 5min drive from downtown. The house is just as described, and the pictures are very accurate.

The house is filled with amenities that made things much more convenient for us: soaps of all types, pots and pans, towels/linens, washer/dryer, and more. The kind of things you might take for granted, but end up being a huge help. The WiFi in the house worked great - reliable and fast. Also, the AppleTV with a Netflix account was a nice addition. We didn't use it much due to being out of the house most of the time, but it's a nice little treat to have.

Another thing that helped was the air circulation in the house. Austin is HOT, but never felt that way indoors. We loved the ceiling fans, and the AC - it always felt pleasant inside.

The house felt clean all throughout. Even while walking barefoot, I did not feel a layer of dust on my feet like you would in some places. Really nice to know there's effort put into keeping the place clean.

Lastly, Steven was a joy to communicate with. Timely responses, and a manual that answered any questions we had really made the stay seamless."
1969618,47331800,2015-09-17,20489622,Casey,"Steven's place is great! It's in a super cute little neighborhood, and there's an awesome restaurant called Launderette that's really close. It was a great base to explore Austin!"
1969618,48141616,2015-09-23,8146571,Codis,Great place! Clean and comfortable. Would stay again!
1969618,48315850,2015-09-25,1547366,Joshua,Great place in a nice neighborhood. The Launderette restaurant out the back door is an added bonus. It's also easy to access the lake trails for running. Beautiful. 
1969618,48659239,2015-09-27,4968678,Ashley,Another great stay at Steven's place! 
1969618,49013927,2015-09-30,13909481,Amy,"Great value for the home and location. Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity, and the bikes were an added bonus since the riverfront trail is so close by. "
1969618,50063493,2015-10-09,23068549,Harrison,"Such a comforting house, that you can instantly call home, with all the appliances you need. If I ever return to Austin, I'm making sure to stay here again. "
1969618,50614681,2015-10-13,945786,Alex,"The place was great, very modern and comfortable and easy access to all Austin has to offer. Steven was very responsive to our needs. Would definitely stay again! "
1969618,51432758,2015-10-20,39719969,James,Really unique and comfy place.  Steven did a great job of communicating from start to finish.  We had one get together for about 12 (we were there for a special event) and were able to seat everyone comfortably.  Would recommend and would stay again.
1969618,51780992,2015-10-24,43028224,Dat,Steven's place was great. It was clean and everything was ready for us when we arrived. The location was great since we were only a 5 minute drive to downtown. Will definitely stay at Steven's place again!
1969618,52076361,2015-10-26,19809351,Dave,Great experience!  Place was as advertised and a great little spot.  The host was accommodating and was quick with communication.  Will definitely user him again!
1969618,52717402,2015-11-01,1237139,Neal,"Steven was a great host - the house was exactly as described and a great place for a colleague of mine and I to stay while in Austin for a conference.  Great, quirky, and quiet neighborhood - highly recommend this place!"
78974,204149,2011-03-20,312834,Matthew,"This stay was remarkably pleasant and a great private situation in a separate building from the main house with almost all the amenities I would want for an extended stay, except the regular use of a kitchen and refrigerator (though Dan did supply a small cooler with ice for our groceries upon request; and he did let us use his kitchen in the main house when he was around). It is plenty spacious and has a lovely (though small) bathroom.

The real pleasure of staying at this place is the backyard, which Dan created from scratch. It has grapes growing, a back shed full of wonderful folk art that Dan made himself, a nice deck with patio chairs to lounge in and a bamboo and cactus garden, as well as many hanging plants. It's really a nice place to spend a luxurious afternoon or evening.

This place is better if you have a rental car or bike as it is a rather long walk to and from the closest bus stops where frequently-running buses run and from the main drags (South Congress and Lamar, though it is relatively close to S. 1st St, which has buses running frequently).

Otherwise it was a very pleasant experience (shared for two) and Dan is a great, laid-back guy with great taste in music and a great knowledge of Austin and much of Texas, should you need any guidance (especially in South Austin and Downtown)."
78974,367832,2011-07-11,789359,Brandon,"Dan was an absolute pleasure to stay with. Room is as pictured, garden is beautiful. Despite it being the middle of summer, the room was very cool and comfortable. Dan's dog is also very sweet.

Dan was very accommodating when I had to show up a few hours later than we had discussed. I felt very much at home.

Would definitely stay here again."
78974,444764,2011-08-14,928997,Caroline,"The place was private and comfortable and the back yard is even more beautiful than pictures can give it justice. The apartment had a toaster oven and a mini fridge for our convenience, and he even stocked the fridge with drinks and snacks (there was also a beautiful bowl of fruit waiting for us in the room)! We didn't know that layout of Austin all that well beforehand, and we were happy to find that it was close to a ton of great restaurants, shops, and bars. And Dan was the perfect host - friendly, helpful, and frequently checking up on us to make sure we were happy with our stay (but in a way that still respected our privacy). I'll definitely recommend this place to friends and family!"
78974,549223,2011-09-20,562447,Sue,"Our stay in Austin was awesome!  Dan is a wonderful host.  His rental unit is clean very comfortable.  The back yard is an eclectic mix of plants, Koi pond and small, bubbling fountains.  There are many different Mexican tiles and small figurines.  It is a quiet place to read or just relax.
As a host, Dan is warm and friendly.  We were greeted with fruit, crackers and cheese and bottled water (a necessity in the Austin area).  We had wonderful conversations about history, politics and, of course, music!
Dan recommended several great restaurants and a trip to South Congress (clothing shops, antiques and eats) was wonderful!  Dan helped us maneuver around with public transit.
We truly felt like family members during our stay.  We're hoping to return to Austin (without an ACL festival) to enjoy more of this city and have another visit with Dan.
"
78974,621745,2011-10-11,1248036,Rachel,"We had the loveliest time staying at Dan's garden apt.  From the moment we were in touch about the rental, Dan was just great; fast communicator, so flexible, endlessly helpful and welcoming.  He even picked us up at the airport!
The space was perfect for us (my boyfriend and I), it is not large, but we live in NYC, so thought it was just great! Totally private, plently of closet space, beautiful light and a really good shower too.  The garden Dan has cultivated is wonderful, with a real Austin vibe.  The surrounding neighborhood was really enjoyable too; we felt like locals!  We didn't spend a ton of time in the apt (as we were out and about in Austin), but it was a wonderful home-base.  
The only thing to be aware of it that it is a bit far from the center of town without a car, especially if you are used to having one at home.  We spent 4 days and did a ton of walking, took a couple buses and taxis, which worked for us, but is maybe not everyone's idea of a vacation!
"
78974,640296,2011-10-17,1280940,Sarah,Dan was great and totally laid back.  The location was great about 2 miles from downtown and only a $15 cab ride including a tip.  My friend and I had a great time and really enjoyed Dan's beautiful and peaceful back yard.
78974,661031,2011-10-24,1292224,Susan,Dan is The Man! My husband and I stayed at Dan's little apartment recently and we had a great time.  The design and layout is totally cute.  The shower is especially cool.  If you want to experience a slice of authentic south Austin - this is your place.  The neighborhood is very quiet and tucked away from all the action over on Soutth 1st.  We'll be back!
78974,685218,2011-11-01,376014,Joel,"This was a great place to stay! Convenient location to the downtown nightlife and all of South Austin festivities. I was able to take all of the back roads through downtown from this place. Dan was a great host, at all times it felt like he was just a phone call away! The best part of this rental was the bathroom, the shower was awesome! I would definitely stay here again."
78974,704881,2011-11-08,1342880,Tal,"Dan is a great guy! Not only was his room just what I needed in a great part of town, but Dan is a solid guy with an open mind and kind heart who has a cool house and a super friendly dog. Initially, I arrived at his house after a nightmare experience elsewhere in town. This place hit the spot and I ended up staying a bit longer and making friends with Dan. Great part of town too! I managed pretty well there without a car!"
78974,776936,2011-12-11,1380310,Mike,"Loved staying there Dan.... Fun with Iris the dog..... I think one or more of Mike's towels got left there, adding to the linens for you. Be safe and Happy Holidays..... Lillis"
78974,828116,2012-01-02,1544997,Denise,"My boyfriend and I needed a place to stay during New Year's Eve weekend.  Dan's private apartment was cozy, quiet, and relaxing!  It had all of the necessary things that we needed for our 2 day stay.  And Dan is such a wonderful host. He's warm and friendly and made us feel at home.  He gave us our privacy but also made himself available in case we needed anything.  He even stocked our fridge with a few snacks.  Our linens and towels smelled great!  The futon was comfortable and we slept so well.  Since it was chilly in Austin, he had a heater and extra blankets for us just in case we needed them.  I forgot my sweater and jacket in the closet because we were in a rush to head out.  Dan called me right away to let me know.  He's a great guy! "
78974,866381,2012-01-16,677326,Ryan,"Great time, wonderful room and excellent host!  Garden was beautiful despite most of the plants being in the greenhouse, I'm certain it's amazing in Spring/Summer.  Close to pretty much everything, I'd definitely stay here again!"
78974,880063,2012-01-23,305582,Jeff,"Nice comfortable little garden apartment in the Soco area. Dan, the owner, is a very generous and accommodating host. He happened to be out of town, so the property's caretaker, Joe, was there to show me around. Good guy. Highly recommended."
78974,949982,2012-02-26,1731776,Melissa & Ion,"Nice, comfortable and great location! Dan was out of out town, but his friend Joe who was looking over the place was very nice, helpful and attentive to any need. "
78974,979258,2012-03-07,1799564,Tracy,Great place to stay on the south side of town. Not too far from downtown and is within walking distance to several restaurants and coffee shops. Joe did an excellent job showing me around and was very helpful answering all my questions about Austin.
78974,1011999,2012-03-18,1496229,Matthew,"I had a great stay at Dan's place, it was ideal fro SXSW, just a bus journey into downtown.  Joe was looking after the place and was a great host, showed us around, took us shopping a couple of times to local places and was generally a really nice bloke.  Such a different (and better) experience compared to hotel lodging.  
The apartment itself is cool, not the biggest but even with a futon bed, air mattress and 2 people in the room there is enough space plus you've got what you need - nice bathroom, fridge (partially stocked which was a nice touch), TV, coffee/tea machine, table, chairs and a great garden to sit in.  Got nothing bad to say at all.  Happy days."
78974,1019590,2012-03-19,1810133,Jackie,Awesome place !! 
78974,1038726,2012-03-24,1976132,Lorri,"This was exactly what we were looking for - a private detached space, nestled in the funkiest, coolest Austin backyard you could imagine.  Love the location - so convenient to South Congress and downtown, and easy to jump on Ben White/360 to get over to 35 or Mopac.  I'd say its the perfect ""sweet spot"" in Austin for moving about.  The space is small, but still bigger than it looks in the photo, and we had plenty of room to put our bags away and pull out the futon and still move about the room.  Dan was great fun to talk to, and the bottled water and beer in the fridge was an unexpected and much appreciated touch.  I would definitely come back."
78974,1053348,2012-03-27,1337714,SueEllen,"I had a great stay at Dan's place in South Austin. He provided all sorts of extras, including snacks and water, use of his bike, and great recommendations of places to visit. I enjoyed his hospitality during our morning coffee chats. Was glad I selected his place to stay. Fit my needs perfectly as a solo traveler. "
78974,1079885,2012-04-03,1984576,Sebastien,"This is a clean and comfortable place, and extremely pleasant! Dan's garden is lovely and very peaceful, and Dan himself is very amicable and helpful. I had a wonderful time in Austin made even better by staying here. Thank you Dan!"
78974,1099749,2012-04-08,2055668,Liz,"Dan and his gardens were amazing.  He was the perfect host and quite willing to accommodate.  There were snacks in the fridge, beautiful places to relax outside under the bamboo...in a hammock...beside the pond with the sound of the waterfall.  It was all perfect. He gave me lots of ideas of fun things to do in Austin, just wish I had more time!"
78974,1139047,2012-04-16,2057762,Robin,"The stay at Dan's apartment was great!  The room was clean and supplied with everything my husband and I needed for our weekend stay.  Dan was an excellent host. He shared his incredible outdoor space and was kind enough to educate us about his plants.  Very enlightening!  We enjoyed his friendly pets, Puddy (cat) and Iris (lab).  We're pretty familiar with Austin but enjoyed Dan's suggestions for what to do and where to eat so we could try a few new things while we were in town.  Highly recommend a stay here!  It's a great deal and all around enjoyable.  We plan on scheduling another stay."
78974,1153300,2012-04-19,1827920,Jon,"Dan is a friendly and welcoming host.  The house is in a quiet and eclectic neighborhood close to south Austin's eateries.  A simple, clean and easy detached living quarters.  A good value play !!"
78974,1183173,2012-04-25,2199621,Dominique,"Dan was a fantastic host. His detached apartment was clean, appropriately stocked, and nestled in his beautiful backyard garden. Dan was very accommodating and even offered suggestions for fun places to visit. His pets, Puddy (cat) and Iris (dog) were friendly and loved people. I felt safe free to come and go as i pleased. His house is also in a very cool area not far from the shops down S Congress st. I would absolutely stay here again. "
78974,1244012,2012-05-07,277529,Elizabeth,We had a great stay at Dan's Private Garden Apartment. It was very comfortable and his backyard is amazing. Dan is very laid back and very cool. The apartment is in a great location. We look forward to staying here again.
78974,1330762,2012-05-22,2317633,Christina,"Dan was awesome and this turned out to be a perfect place to stay, just minutes from downtown and S. Congress. What a great cottage in a beautiful setting.

It was lovely to hear the sound of running water in the fountains outside in the gorgeous backyard.

Dan has set up the room just right with everything needed for a proper stay: fridge, coffee maker, TV (which we didn't watch, but it was there), closet, etc. It's an attractive room with a pretty tiled floor. We would happily stay here again. 

Dan is obviously an excellent businessman, everything done just right to make the experience right for the customer, but more importantly, he's helpful, pleasant to chat with and not intrusive at all."
78974,1449017,2012-06-10,2120394,Amy Faith,"Such a great little place!! Dan was really helpful and kept a very tidy, comfortable apartment. His garden left us in awe. That will surely be the most enjoyable part of your stay. He recently replaced the futon and it was SO plush. You'll sleep sound in his quiet little neighborhood. Just a short drive to everything that's happening in Austin. "
78974,1614478,2012-07-02,2441273,Kirk,"This is a small space but worked out very well for my son and me.  There is a small frig, which was great, and a microwave we did not use, but it was good to have, a big television, a bathroom and shower.  The shower and commode do have a step up and might be a problem for limited mobility, but it was fine for us.  

Dan's has put together a fabulous Xeroscaped yard with local plants (cacti) and other ""yard art.""  He was very helpful and I enjoyed talking with him.

The only difficulty was not his fault...it was extremely hot.  We did not rent a car, so waiting for the bus was problematic.  However, the bus system is terrific and the drivers were helpful.  

I would recommend Dan and would visit his space again if I am ever in Austin.  "
78974,2499802,2012-10-03,400515,Loryn And Mark,"We positively enjoyed staying 3 nights at Dan's. Wish it was more. The place is fantastic. We loved that the room is separate from the house in that it has it's own entry - there was absolutely no worry about coming in at any hour etc. The bed is unbelievably comfortable and the bathroom was 100% clean. Dan, his garden and Iris the dog were lovely. Make sure to ask Dan about food hot spots first thing when you get there! Wealth of knowledge. Hope to be back in the future! Soon!"
78974,2693258,2012-10-22,3901875,Luna,"I  completely enjoyed my delightful stay at the 78704 abode. I would definitely stay here again.

The garden environment was very welcoming after my long 
road-trip.

This place provides a wonderful opportunity for folks desiring a real slice of 
"" South Austin life and culture"". 

Thank you Dan for the oasis of grace
you provide for travelers and wayfaring strangers!!"
78974,2719710,2012-10-25,3913202,Meredith,"Dan is an excellent host with a beautiful backyard oasis.  His space was perfect for what I needed, and I was completely comfortable and warmly welcomed.  He makes himself available for his guests if needed, and is knowledgeable about the area.  I enjoyed my brief stay (and first airnbnb experience)!  I will be back in the future, Thanks Dan!"
78974,2734046,2012-10-27,1972232,Ashley,"I went to Austin to get away from DFW and refresh my mind and Dan's place was the perfect place to do so. The cottage is very comfortable to stay in and the yard surrounding it is magnificent! I could have sat in front of the koi pond for hours it was so very relaxing. Wonderful location, and I surely intend to stay there again. "
78974,2788744,2012-11-02,1932012,Julie,"It being my first Airbnb stay, I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Dan was an amazing host. My guy and I went to Austin to enjoy halloween, and a concert the following night. We arrived, finding the place with no problem. It was clean and stocked with many items travelers could need. The house was convenient, quiet, and felt safe.

The back yard is far better than the pictures portray.... A cactus garden filled with such creativity... 

We felt that we had our own personal space while there, and found it extremely relaxing. The morning following our stay, we visited with Dan and watched as he pieced together a new creation to add to the garden.. We found he was extremely easy to chat with, and had some interesting insights..

We both left feeling refreshed, inspired, and fulfilled.. Far more than we ever expected to find!"
78974,2831167,2012-11-07,3940146,Lee,"Dan was a great, friendly host. Super flexible and easy to communicate with as we tried to confirm if the great Frankenstorm of 2012 would cause our trip from Brooklyn to Austin to be canceled. A wonderfully quiet place. Perfect for two people. The futon was surprisingly comfortable-- more so than some hotels we've stayed at-- and fit my 6-foot, 6-month pregnant frame with plenty of room left over for my husband perfectly. No foot hang! A water-stocked fridge had a couple of cold ones also waiting for us when we arrived. Ate out so much we didn't take advantage of the microwave or coffee maker, but it was good to know it was there. Gorgeous garden (seriously---- this garden is amazing), great location to Austin happenings, overall a laid-back, pleasant experience. Will recommend Dan's place to others traveling to our favorite city and look forward to staying again! "
78974,2847432,2012-11-09,3446461,Peter,"Dan's cottage is a fantastic space on a beautifully landscaped property in a great South Austin neighborhood.  Not only is Dan an excellent host with a thorough knowledge of the best bbq and music venues in Austin, he accomodated my literally last second lodging request.  I submitted my bnb request at 8:30am, he approved it in about 10 minutes and he let me into the cottage at 11:30am.  It was a very positive experience, I highly recommend that you contact Dan if you want a cool place to hang out in Austin."
78974,2877951,2012-11-13,3914742,Lisa,"Dan really has put a lot of care and thought into making the stay at his cottage a great experience. Dan was very welcoming and such a gracious host.  When we asked him where we could find a washer/dryer to wash as load of laundry, he was gracious enough to offer us use of his. My boyfriend and I even hosted a couple of my college friends his backyard on a Saturday afternoon. My friends and I were very impressed with Dan's place and a few of them stated that they planned to stay in his cottage on future visits to Austin. I know that I will absolutely be a repeat guest. Thanks for making it such a great place to stay, Dan! 

"
78974,2907466,2012-11-18,3930530,Pam,"Very eclectic Austin experience.  Dan is an easy-going, friendly host.  "
78974,2943554,2012-11-22,1588629,John,Great place tucked away in a nice neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful and a much appreciated respite from the busy city. Dan is a great host and an interesting person.
78974,3033991,2012-12-05,3558144,Liz,"This is a very cute, wonderfully located cottage. Clean, great energy. Dan is a super nice guy, accomidating and helpful. Has a sweet dog and cat and a few fish ponds, so the soothing sound of water surrounds you. Overall a nice stay."
78974,3079051,2012-12-12,4282355,Gavriel,"Dan was a perfect, laid back, generous and generally cool guy host.  The room is clean and comfy, and the backyard garden is amazing.  Close enough to all the hot spots.  "
78974,3099418,2012-12-16,3900111,Kathy,"We really enjoyed staying at Dan's Garden Cottage. It was perfect, clean and charming! We hope to stay there again next time we are in Austin."
78974,3150840,2012-12-24,3457921,Jonathan,"We had an excellent, but short stay at Dan's place.  From the start he was very proactive at contacting us.  The place is great, even though he had to move a lot of the plants to the greenhouse due to the oddly cold weather.  Fun location- we'd happily stay here again."
78974,3167014,2012-12-27,4412984,Becky,"This was just our second experience with Airbnb and I think our first stay had us a bit spoiled. On the plus side, the garden was wonderful but we were on the go so much I spent very little time in it. Dan was friendly without being intrusive and was very helpful whenever we needed him. 

Our biggest need was a comfortable, clean place in which to relax at the end of the day and to sleep. We wanted the ability to fix at least a little of our own food to save money. We are on the downhill side of middle aged and the futon was a poor choice for us. It was a little hard and my pillows kept falling off the end of the futon at night. There were no night stands so my husband used one of the chairs to set up his c-pap machine on and since there are only the two chairs we moved it off an on the chair every day. What you cannot see in the photos is that the toilet is elevated and you must step up to get to it. It is turned so that if you are very tall your knees are against the wall in front of the toilet. The sink is positioned so that if you stand directly in front of it your right leg is up a step and your left leg is down. There is also a steep step down from the shower, be careful so you do not fall. 

The small microwave is underneath the fridge, so you have to get down on the floor to see the numbers on the front of it. That was a little tricky, especially for my husband with neuropathy in his feet. 
There is a shortage of flat surfaces to set things on, but Dan was very receptive to these suggestions and they may be remedied very soon. He is very open to making his cottage as comfortable as possible, so I expect some of these concerns may be addressed soon."
78974,3179646,2012-12-29,1558073,Kevin,Dan's cottage is in a fantastic location and is well kept.  Beautiful court yard.  Dan was a great host.  Highly recommended.  
78974,3236081,2013-01-02,4526004,Isaac,"Efficient, communicative, clean, and very friendly. This was my first experience with airbnb and I absolutely loved it.  Would have zero hesitations recommending Dan's place for anyone in Austin looking for a place to sleep economically."
78974,3293311,2013-01-06,4497682,Sergio,"This is a great place for two people.  The location couldn't be better: close to everything on S. 1st, S. Congress, and downtown.  Plenty of great restaurants and coffee nearby.  It is also very private and Dan's garden is great.  Highly recommended."
78974,3311839,2013-01-08,1513637,Mali,"Dan was very communicative. Even though he was out of town, he arranged for his friend to set everything up for us. She even called to ask us what time we would be arriving. 

The studio had everything we needed to be comfortable. It was surprisingly cold for Austin while we were visiting and the small heater worked great. The location was exactly what we were hoping for. A cute and quirky Austin neighborhood a few minutes drive from downtown. 

The only suggestion I could make for future renters is to arrive before dark or bring a flashlight! Dan has a great garden that includes a lot of cacti. We had to navigate around them in the dark by the light of our phones... 
"
78974,3354906,2013-01-15,3251382,Laura,"Dan's cottage is a lovely little getaway. The cottage itself is exactly as described, and the surrounding gardens are delightfully whimsical! You never know what you're going to see keeping the Koi company in the pond. Buzz Lightyear? Shek? Well, yes. You can't help but get a little giddy walking and peeking around. 

The location was perfect. The neighborhood was exactly what I had in mind when I decided to go the airbnb route for Austin. 

Dan himself was an excellent host. Despite not being physically present, he was in frequent communication to ensure that all was well and to provide local food/fun suggestions. 

I would definitely return and would recommend Dan't cottage to anyone. "
78974,3378713,2013-01-20,4545518,Aimee,"My stay at Dan's cottage was great!  Dan was on vacation, yet was still very easy to communicate with.  Anytime I had a question he was quick to answer.  Everything was as described and there is a beautiful greenhouse and garden on the property.  The location was great.  It was easy to get to South Congress to all of the shops and restaurants.  I definitely recommend a stay here!"
78974,3385707,2013-01-21,3688157,Benjamin,"Dan is a great host, and his cottage is perfect for an Austin weekend get-a-way. Dan was on vacation, but the check-in and check-out process was super easy and convenient! His garden is really neat, and the small pond in the back of his property is very peaceful. I would not hesitate to stay at Dan's cottage again in the future!"
78974,3402892,2013-01-23,4635679,Ben,"Great room, great location, great host! What more can I say? Dan did everything in his power to make sure we felt comfortable and had a great time in Austin. He has a beautiful home in a very convenient location, with a really cool back yard, garden, and greenhouse. This is the true South Austin experience! We loved staying with Dan, and will definitely do it again next time we're in Austin!"
78974,3423205,2013-01-27,4758307,Katie,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Dan's Detached Garden Cottage, the last weekend in January 2013. 
The owner was out of town, but was still very easy to communicate with via e-mail. The house was clean and very comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay. His garden and koi pond were also relaxing. 
The area of town it is, is very quiet and there's lots of cool shops nearby to visit. Great record store, tons of food trucks parked nearby, and several coffee shops. I liked staying in this area of town.
We will keep this place in mind again next time we come to Austin.
"
78974,3503522,2013-02-09,82441,Eric,"Well-located for a delicious and fun visit to South Austin. Dan was a clear communicator and the spot was as advertised. Be sure to set some time aside for some quiet reading in the garden so that you can check out the critters that are drawn by the nifty water features and garden. That was a nice treat. Thanks, Dan!"
78974,3522461,2013-02-11,3965768,Andrew,"Great stay. The backyard is a private, serene refuge. My brother and I enjoyed chilling out there in between outings. The room itself was clean, adequately supplied with bedding and towels, a bit lacking in natural light -- good for sleeping. Dan was out of the country but his host was friendly, easy to communicate with, and easygoing. We mistakenly stayed till 11 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. on the date of check out, and she was gracious even though she had new guests arriving at noon. "
78974,3542466,2013-02-14,4232772,Andrew,"I was in town for a quick work trip and have to say, I absolutely loved staying here. The location was great for my needs: close to East, West and Downtown, easy parking and very quiet. I spent a lot of time creeping around the greenhouse and exploring. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
78974,3595105,2013-02-20,553692,Hoyd,Dan was on top of all communications in a welcoming and friendly way. His place gave the exact same vibe. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the quirky place and peaceful solitude. Another big benefit was the close proximity to the South 1st and South Congress area. Definitely recommend Dan's relaxing getaway to anyone stopping in town. 
78974,3620806,2013-02-26,3815773,Shawn,"We had a great time here! This place felt like a home away from home. It was no more than ten minutes away from everywhere we needed to go in Austin, and we never had to deal with I-35 traffic. Now we are trying to think of another excuse to go back to Austin so we can stay here again. "
78974,3663572,2013-03-01,5120245,Logan,Dan was out of town while we stayed in his lovely cottage. We wish we got to meet him! The place was perfect and extremely cozy. The backyard is wonderful to hang out in after galavanting around Austin. The location is convenient-couldn't have been more satisfied!
78974,3688970,2013-03-04,5074933,Matt,"My girlfriend and I had a great experience staying in Dan's cottage. We were in town for a conference, but didn't really want to stay in the conference hotel. Dan's cottage was perfect.  It's quiet, private, cozy, and set in a really cool backyard garden. (Make sure you walk around and check out the plants and found objects!) It's also very close to pretty much everything you'd want to do in Austin. This was our first time using airbnb, and this was a wonderful experience. Thanks Dan!"
78974,3708828,2013-03-06,5003162,Chuck,"We are new to Airbnb so our four star rating is based on zero experience with other stays.  That having been said, we were very pleased with our stay in Don's cottage.  Everything was ready for us, and we felt at home very quickly.  Don introduced himself and gave us a suggestion for Sunday night music that was spot-on!  The residential location was very much to our liking.  We are walkers and were comfortable walking to dinner and music on S. Lamar one night and down S. Congress to downtown the next day.  We would definitely recommend Don's cottage to our friends and would be happy to stay again. "
78974,3725044,2013-03-08,3531467,Andrew,Nice place overall with a distinct south Austin feel!. Very simple and adequate apartment with everything you need for a stay in south Austin. Great location within an authentic neighborhood. Dan's gardens and greenhouse make it a special place with a unique feel.
78974,3770828,2013-03-13,4124049,Kamil,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Dan's for SXSW.  Amazing host!  Everything was clean and freshly washed.  Really cool garden that is so peaceful to sit down and relax in.  Close to some of the best BBQ and mexican in Austin.  Place had both heating and A/C which I found out is key in the spring months.  It is fully detached and you can come and go as you please.

Dan is awesome and easy going.  He is willing to chat with you or leave you alone - which ever you prefer.  He stocked the fridge with water and some beers for us.  He even brought us clean towels!

It is a great place to not have a car or bike, because there are 3 buses that run from his place to downtown (1, 3 and 10 mins walk away).  Cab from downtown was  $10 which was great for the late nights.  If you do decide to walk down (30 mins) there are TONS of food places along the way.

We will be staying with Dan when we visit Austin again!"
78974,3803657,2013-03-17,4002796,Nick,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Dan's. I was attending SXSW and was rather busy most days and nights and just needed somewhere safe and reliable to rest my head each night, which is exactly what it was. Dan was very hospitable and full of local info. He was great for a chat or happy to leave you to do your own thing. 

The room was exactly how I thought it would be from the pictures. The Foton was very comfortable, and the room could be either opened up to let the morning light in, or easily darken for a sleep in (which I did a lot). The room even cam with a complimentary mini bar which I thought was a really nice touch.

Shops and basic necessities were no more the then 10 min walk away. The heart of South Congress was about 15 min walk, and downtown was 30 mins walk, or $10 taxi. There was a bus stop close by, but I didn't use it.

I would happily stay here again next year. Dan is a top block, and this served my needs perfectly.

Thanks for having me mate
Nick

78974,3846312,2013-03-20,371824,Kari,"Austin Experience far better than any hotel at this price- you get SO much more than a room and bed!  

The gardens and Dan himself are very special and comfortable and inspiring. Enjoy Austin like a local. We did and loved it!  Just wish Eric's allergies weren't so bad and we could have enjoyed the backyard more. Koi pond, twinkle lights, fountains... it is magical."
78974,3867721,2013-03-23,4483852,Mishel,"I think I miss Dan's cottage already! The space was clean and cozy. Dan's garden was great as well with the pond, various plants and figurines. The neighborhood was also the perfect spot, close to good restaurants and close to downtown Austin. We would definitely stay again. "
78974,3882354,2013-03-24,5425208,Matthew,Dan was easy to get along with right off the bat.  He kept open communication and also gave us space to relax.  The coy pond was nice and the plant-life was impressive.  The space was true to the pictures and the futon was comfy.  Would definitely stay again!
78974,4007827,2013-04-02,4026811,Matthew,"Dan was great. Very flexible with our schedule. The garden cottage was impeccably clean, great futon, great shower. Cat in the backyard was also very friendly :-) only about 15 minute walk in to town, even less to the south 1st st. bus stop which'll take you anywhere. He even left us a few beers in the fridge!"
78974,4093721,2013-04-09,4976937,Scott,"My girlfriend and I had a fine time staying at this nice detached cottage in Dan's lush and remarkably decorated backyard.  It's situated in a convenient neighborhood, just off the S. 1st strip.  Austin is easily navigable and this spot was a great home base.  The cottage was cozy and reasonably priced.  Dan was accessible, but very respectful of our privacy.  Recommended if you're visiting!"
78974,4135140,2013-04-13,5091069,Rachel & Drew,"Dan is a super cool guy and wonderful host.  The room was very clean and comfortable.  Just seeing Dan’s backyard is worth the stay! We enjoyed chatting with him about his garden and how he’s seen Austin develop over the years.  Dan provided us with all the essentials and stocked the fridge with a couple beers.  The location is in walking distance to Torchy’s Tacos and some cool vintage shops.  Dan’s guesthouse made for a peaceful, unique and affordable stay in South Austin. "
78974,4168175,2013-04-15,5669573,Ali,So cozy and peaceful!
78974,4190544,2013-04-16,5885323,Alison,"My friend from Comfort decided to come into Austin for the night and we found Dan's place on air b&b. We particularly wanted a place in S. Austin where we could kick back, have quiet conversations over wine in a relaxed setting. Dan's cottage was the perfect place. We spent a lot of time in his garden, mesmerized by the koi pond.
Everything went very smoothly. Great host, good, fast communication."
78974,4216518,2013-04-19,3670926,Kelly & Matt,"We loved staying at Dan's garden cottage! The cottage is nestled in the most amazing garden/landscaped paradise full of character and quiet. We slept like babies and were able to visit local popular places really quickly- it's in the middle of everything you want to see in Austin! Even though we were there to find a home, the proximity allowed us to get a little bit of everything in. It's such a unique place too, with art surrounding you everywhere you can turn - Dan puts a lot of care into his property.

Dan was a great host- very accommodating and warm, always helpful with recommendations and very kind. He's been in Austin for over 30 years so is a great resource of info! He made the place perfect for us before we arrived and his communication was timely and answered all my questions well. We will have our own place in austin now but will definitely recommend to friends! Thanks Dan!"

78974,4407789,2013-05-03,5627593,Brianna,"We had a great time at dans place. The cottage was perfect sized for my boyfriend and I, Dan provided more than everything we needed, and  the garden and decor was awesome. It was in a great location. considering it was our first time in Austin and we didn't know our way anywhere, it proved to be a convenient spot to bike, walk, or bus to all the places we wanted to get to. I would totally stay here again. And Dan and his dog were super cool and very accommodating! "
78974,4503507,2013-05-09,5192233,Jenn,"I HIGHLY recommend staying at Dan's place if you can. The value was incredible. Compared to what you would get at a hotel, you just can't beat it. The cottage was roomy, clean, and had everything we could want for our 6-night stay. I can't say enough about his garden area with benches, waterfalls, and bamboo trees in the back... it was so pretty, and it's even lit up at night so you can sit outside and enjoy the serene environment. Dan was very accommodating also, and we will definitely aim to stay here again upon our next visit! Thank you! "
78974,4533097,2013-05-11,5008273,Aaron,"Much belated review. The lady and I had an amazing stay at Dan's lovely cottage back in May. Dan and his pup are great hosts, and lounging in his backyard oasis was a highlight of our stay in Austin. Would highly recommend. "
78974,4577155,2013-05-13,6009952,Melina,"Small cozy space, great garden, location is close to HEB food market for any necessities forgotten. Super close to all SoCo shops and eateries. "
78974,4673902,2013-05-20,5040602,Cynthia,"Great little converted garage with refrigerator and microwave.  Nothing fancy but is clean, quiet and comfortable.   I had fun sitting by the koi pond in the morning and looking at all the beautiful plants and flowers in Dan's garden. I really liked being awakened by the birds and not some big rig going by.  I enjoyed talking with him and he lead me to some great food at the South First Food Court so I got to experience some of the Austin food truck scene.  Would definitely stay there again."
78974,4735923,2013-05-22,6269962,Marla,"Dan was a wonderful host. The accommodations were very clean and quite adequate for 2 people. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. There are many places to eat and shop very near Dan's house. We were able to get back and forth to the University of Texas with ease and little traffic. 
Dan's gardens are full of beautiful Cacti, flowers, artwork and Koi fish pond. 
It was a great reprieve from hotel stays!
Thank you and we will stay again!

78974,4781208,2013-05-25,2004233,Peter,"We had a great time at Dan's place, the pictures don't do justice to how beautiful his backyard garden is.  Would gladly stay with Dan again!"
78974,4925234,2013-06-02,1855449,Valerie,"There is nothing more to add that has been said, everything met our expectations. This is a perfect place to explore Austin and relax in a charming environment. But what really made the all experience worth, and the real reason why I choose this place, was meeting Dan and spending time in his garden having great conversations. A nice way to get a sense of the city and Texas, the neighborhood, the people, the flowers, the cats and dog ..... and Dan!"
78974,5008788,2013-06-07,285210,Brandon,"Dans place was fantastic for a place to crash during our adventures. It's placed in a fantastic area which seemed like an older part of austin. We mostly stayed on South 1st (which is in walking distance) for food and then travelled elsewhere for adventure. His backyard is amazing, with Koi fish in his pond. Would come back!"
78974,5050078,2013-06-10,5450943,Addie,We enjoyed our stay in the Garden Cottage. It wasn't fancy but it was comfortable and very clean. Dan took really good care of us and provided many amenities that went above and beyond what we expected. His yard is also very beautiful and provided a peaceful place to sit and read. We will definitely book again here next time we visit Austin. 
78974,5091961,2013-06-11,6659700,Arati,"Dan is the host with the most: thoughfulness, embodiment of Austin, and green thumb.  I had everything I needed: fresh air, great A/C, thick towels, treats in fridge, plenty of fresh blankets, cleanliness, convenient location, and a perfect host.  A/C was a tad loud for a light sleeper so I wore earplugs and slept like a baby. Dan likely has what you need if you forgot something from home.  Great experience!"
78974,5185897,2013-06-17,605134,Ruggy,"Dan's place was exactly as advertised: a nice, inexpensive spot to crash in one of the more hip areas of town (South Congress). Chances are you'll be discovering the city, so the time you spend in the actual unit is likely to be far less than what you'll spend at the cottage itself. That said, the space is comfy, it has the basic amenities you'd wish for in a hotel setting (towels, TV, some local beers in the fridge, A/C, etc...), and it's in a really great location. Score. 

If you're at all squeamish about bugs, you may find a few critters lurking on the walls when you get home at night. This is likely much more a product of Austin's muggy summer conditions than Dan's neglect for sure. It wasn't a huge deal, but it's something worth sharing. 

I'd definitely stay here again, and compared to some of the other comparable listings on airbnb, this is a steal for what you get. "
78974,5235181,2013-06-19,1813603,Laura,"Dan was easy to talk to, kind, and accommodating. The space was comfy and clean and had everything we needed (especially that ""Austin feel""). Above all, we were amazed at the beautiful backyard paradise Dan has created. It's gorgeous!! We hope his place will be available next time we're in Austin - thanks, Dan! "
78974,5254311,2013-06-20,1572580,Montana,"finally I surface!

had great time at Dan's little casita...short trip for my ALWAYS favorite reason to be in Austin - Barton Springs pool!!!  

Loved the Koi pond ... a BIG help as Alex was having a very difficult time going to sleep...a nice late night walk in the hood and rocking by the pond put him out.

LOVED having Iris the Lab to hang out with,  she was very protective of Alex,  the little man.

thanks Dan!"
78974,5303320,2013-06-23,6932272,Maril,"Dan's place was perfect for any Austin trip!  His garden is unique and a nice place for hanging our and relaxing. The location is perfect just south of downtown, but close to fun, local hangouts and eateries. Dan was a great host and his place was perfect!  Can't wait to come again! "
78974,5360694,2013-06-26,5539384,Kermit,"This was my first AirBNB stay, and I'm glad I chose Dan's cottage, because it was a very pleasant experience. First, it's exactly as advertised. The grounds are gorgeous - you can tell that Dan puts a lot of time and care into maintaining his property. The garden is amazing. As for the cottage itself, it was clean and comfortable."
78974,5400545,2013-06-28,6759872,Michelle,"Although we spent most of our time out and about in Austin and the surrounding areas, we absolutely loved the sanctuary that we returned to. The cottage itself had a nice feel and included the basic amenities - and the futon was surprisingly comfortable. The real treat was sitting next to koi pond in the evening, listening to the water features and simply relaxing. It was also really close to a bus stop and walkable to S 1st and S Congress area districts - we love to walk. An added bonus was the conversations of depth with Dan."
78974,5534233,2013-07-04,7115861,Ryan,"Great!  Really cute cottage in what I can only describe as a tropical paradise.  Dan has one hell of a garden and water features back there......very quiet and zen like.  
The cottage was small and comfortable, perfect for what I needed, a quick crash pad."
78974,5553493,2013-07-05,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Dan is an excellent host. My fiancé and I couldn't get into town until 4am and he made very easy and accommodating arrangements for us to stay in his cosy side house. We really appreciated his hospitality and  his place is a great place to stay, very Austin in the best way. Great experience, thanks Dan! "
78974,5607186,2013-07-08,6642420,Peter Scott,"I stayed here over the 4th of July for a few days. Not only was it central to a ton of great destinations in Austin + beyond, it was private, clean and situated next to a beautiful Texas garden. I honestly would have enjoyed hanging out in the garden for a few days.  Dan is thoughtful and keeps the cottage well stocked.  This was my first trip using airbnb and it far exceeded my expectations."
78974,5652540,2013-07-09,7274711,Vera,"Dan's place was amazing!  We used the room and the garden for a photo shoot and he was more than accommodating.  If you're having a creative block, I think Dan's place would be a great way to recharge. He friendly and not intrusive. It was a pleasure to meet him!  

Koi pond was AMAZING. "
78974,5691127,2013-07-12,1886920,Christa,Dan's place was comfortable and convenient. It was a great jumping off point to see all that Austin had to offer. We especially appreciated the late night chats and extraordinary garden area that he had created. 
78974,5774568,2013-07-15,2380395,Kyndal,"I really enjoyed this cute little backyard apartment. Dan was a wonderful host and his backyard has an amazing blend of eclectic finds and well manicured cane and cactus making for a truly authentic Austin experience. (AND WE LOVED THE FISH POND!!) 

The apartment itself was very lovely and decorated well. So true to the pictures. The futon was surprisingly very comfortable, and it had everything you would need for a overnight stay (TV WITH CABLE! COFFEE MAKER, MINI FRIDGE!) 

Also, I would like to note that Dan ask that when your in austin to turn off the window unit. It really does cool down very quickly in the apartment. No need not to fill this request!

Overall wonderful experience. Really close to SoCo and totally comfortable. Loved it. "
78974,5878986,2013-07-20,2589204,Diego,"An amazing garden, and a neighborhood that is quiet, central and attractive. Enjoyed having a talk with Dan, who is a great guy"
78974,5951576,2013-07-23,7310397,Julian,"I am very happy to say that I had a great first AirBnB experience. Dan has a fantastic cottage. It was just the right size to serve as  home-base during our stay in Austin.  The room was clean and comfortable. The backyard garden is a desert sanctuary with lots of character and is truly serene.  Dan is a gracious and welcoming host.  My girlfriend and I enjoyed talking with him about Oaxaca, Mexico and look forward to checking out his recommendations.  Dan's place is in a great location, not far from lots of sites and shops.  A word of advice: come with a car or rent one in Austin. While, one can walk to the SoCo shops and downtown Austin from the cottage the heat can be daunting for the unprepared.  My girlfriend and I didn't mind because we love the heat and worked on our suntans! "
78974,6028999,2013-07-27,473936,Mashaal,Dan's cottage is lovely! He is nice and interesting and very kind - offering his bike for our use and leaving drinks in the fridge. The cottage is comfy and clean and the sofabed is comfortable. He has a large backyard which is also nice to stroll through with many interesting plants and a pond. The cottage was walking distance to many interesting vintage shops and restaurants and also close to barton spring road (~$12 taxi ride). We got to enjoy a free live concert at Zilker park and great meals at Shady Grove and Chuy's! The house is in a nice relaxed neighbourhood. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy austin! 
78974,6294903,2013-08-06,1689850,Raquel,"Everything about our stay at Dans house was amazing! Including Dan! And Iris! (The dog). The guest house was extremely comfortable, clean, and private. The backyard was enchanting and reminded us of the land of OZ. Location was absolutely perfect. We will definitely stay here again. "
78974,6394037,2013-08-11,6658449,Candyce,this was our first airbnb experience and it was great! we visit austin pretty regularly and since the inlaws moved away - paying for a hotel is a real bummer. it was great to have a nice central location to roll around town from. and man that gorgeous yard is faaantastic! we'll definitely stay here again!
78974,6437247,2013-08-12,7748382,Caleb,"The cottage was very peaceful and comfortable.  The outside landscaping was well done and provided another area to just relax and chill.  The location was good too, we were close to South Congress for shopping, food, and people watching (lol).  Dan has a good thing going, I would definitely recommend as a place to get away from the daily grind."
78974,6562033,2013-08-17,4088059,Carly,"Dan has this amazing quiet little place in the suburbs of Austin with the most amazing garden. Apart from checking out the sites of Austin we always enjoyed finding new little joys in the garden we hadn't seen earlier. Regarding the studio, it is quiet, roomy, contains a fridge (with beer in it!), a microwave (excellent with the size of American meals), a fold-out futon that was very comfortable and drip filtered coffee machine. There's an aircon that cools the room very quickly. We had a great time touring Austin (We love that city!!) and this is a 5-10min drive to nearly everywhere you need to be. The place was super clean and Dan was a pleasure to deal with. We would most definitely stay here again!"
78974,6817153,2013-08-26,7669574,Henry,"A really wonderful place. Great location, perfect size and amenities, couldn't have chosen a better spot. Dan seemed very nice and easy going (and judging by his property, a very talented gardener!). "
78974,6980708,2013-09-02,6349700,Liz,"Awesome place to stay and awesome to meet Dan! The garden has a great vibe, very relaxed and Austin-esque. The guest house is super clean and quiet and the futon bed was firm and very comfy. Dan's house is so close to the best parts of Austin - Barton Springs and the Greenbelt, downtown Austin, South Congress with all the best shops and restaurants. Highly recommend staying here! And Dan even offered to pick us up from the airport! So accommodating! Thanks Dan! "
78974,7087287,2013-09-05,5814835,Miles,"This was a last minute decision to go to Austin for a one night stay. Dan was very quick to respond and was there to great us when we arrived. 

The cottage was pretty nice and had everything you'd want (bed, A/C, bathroom, etc.) But the selling point on this place was the garden. Plants on plants on plants. I would definitely recommend staying here anytime.

Thanks again Dan! "
78974,7119302,2013-09-07,4093974,Megan,"Dan, his cottage, and his garden were all equally awesome. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It's in the perfect location - close enough to the city that you'll be there in minutes, far enough away that you can still get some peace and quiet. Dan is a warm, kind, and interesting host and his garden is a destination location in its own right!

We would wholeheartedly recommend staying here. An overall great experience."
78974,7179802,2013-09-09,3370335,Julia,"We really enjoyed the location of the house (near all of our favorite places) and the beautiful gardens on the property! It's lovely to sit by the pond and enjoy a drink or book (or both). Very peaceful.

Dan is super friendly and accommodating. I have stayed at a lot of places in Austin and this is easily one of  my favorites."
78974,7380434,2013-09-17,611751,Nate,"Perfect location, easy low key living accommodation, everything was perfect for our weekend stay in Austin."
78974,7429526,2013-09-19,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Another great experience staying at Dan's. He is a great host, very nice and accommodating. His cottage is the perfect place to stay for those who want to enjoy all that Austin has to offer. It is comfortable and in a great location. We look forward to adding to our great experiences in Austin by staying in Dan's cottage again! "
78974,7638828,2013-09-28,5185430,Deirdre,"Dan's garden house was perfect!  I was in town for work, and the house and neighborhood were the perfect quiet retreat for me.  Parking was never an issue.  The house was spotless- cleaner than  my own apartment.  I hope to have an excuse to visit Austin soon, and I hope to stay here again. "
78974,7712329,2013-09-30,5855277,Vinh,Dan was a great host - easy to get in contact with and super quick in his response. The accommodations were great and just what we were looking for - free parking on the street and right by South Congress!
78974,7939611,2013-10-09,5650333,Diane,"What a delightful place to stay!!!! We had everything we needed and more. Dan was a wonderful host, so was Iris his black lab. The location was close to everything, we walked to Zilker Park for the ACL festival. Drove up to Hill country (Fredricksburg) about hour away or so. Dan recommended great restaurants close by which were wonderful. The garden is a peaceful get away, so relaxing. We loved the Koi pond and all the wonderful succulents. We also heard some great new music!!!! We will definitely be returning. "
78974,8512450,2013-11-03,1976022,Sage,"Dan couldn't have been a better host. Love his place, love the huge garden, and love his dog Iris! It was great talking about Austin history and music with him.
Thanks Dan!"
78974,8740461,2013-11-15,3120533,Jena,"Dan is lovely and his place is too, especially the outdoor areas with all of his plants and fun ""art"" plantings. He's nice to talk with and his place is cozy. There's lots of cafes and restaurants and shops to check out on South 1st, Congress, and South Lamar, so it's in a good spot!"
78974,8778218,2013-11-18,548354,Greg & Sandra,Always a good time at Dans'   We love the cottage and location.  Looking forward to our next visit.
78974,8830621,2013-11-19,10079728,Sophia,We loved our stay at Dan's oasis.  It was a last minute book and he responded immediately.  A great getaway with a fabulous back garden!!
78974,8948251,2013-11-27,9856957,Anne,"This garden cottage was a perfect home base for our exploratory visit to Austin. Highly recommended for anyone looking for the value side of airbnb---low-key, personal, simple. Host responded quickly to all communication, which felt personal and welcoming in addition to helping logistically. "
78974,8990156,2013-11-30,2465677,Marilyn,"Fabulous, good price, great  place.  Very nice Host."
78974,9048473,2013-12-02,970946,Paul & Iho & Alexandrea & Anabella,"Very pleasant experience!!! Dan is very welcoming, thoughtful and friendly host! Our daughter really loved his dog Iris!
The cottage was clean and had everything that we needed during our short stay in Austin! We would stay at Dan's cottage again if we ever in Austin. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone who's looking for a comfortable, private abode in Austin!"
78974,9498601,2013-12-31,10230560,Paul & Bryan,"Dan's place is great.  I stayed for two days over my winter holiday.  The room was clean with everything we needed.  Dan was really communicative and check in was simple.  Also,  he seems to be a wealth of knowledge of all things Austin has to offer.  I would stay again with no hesitation."
78974,9652064,2014-01-04,1171911,Strat,Dan's place is great! His garden really comes to life at night and he's a very nice host. The Garden cottage was setup nicely and Dan anticipates guest needs by having everything you'd need ready and in the cottage.
78974,9960676,2014-01-21,9711784,Birgitta,"Staying at Dan's quaint and lovely garden apartment made my Austin experience an A+ experience.  The setting, the basic yet very comfortable set up were impressive.   I would like to come back soon!!  Besides Dan is a very gracious and organized host."
78974,10172198,2014-02-03,1570428,Michael,I had the pleasure of staying at Dan's cottage just one night and it was fantastic. It was the easiest check-in procedure I've experienced after a dozen airbnb trips. We communicated well and he even allowed me to check-in early which was a tremendous help. I highly recommend staying in the Garden Cottage and be sure to check out the green house. 
78974,10272877,2014-02-10,11546110,Jill,"Staying at Dan's cottage made our trip very comfortable! He was available to answer questions and ensure we had a great visit. His garden of cactus and bamboo and greenhouse was perfect considering we were visiting from snowy freezing weather conditions. When we visit Austin again, we will be staying at Dan's! We highly recommend!!"
78974,10366569,2014-02-16,10530566,Tommy And Roxanne,"I've lived in the Austin area for 17 years.  I know Austin very well, and as the skyline and city itself continue to change, it is so wonderful to know that there are still spots like Dan's hidden cottage that stubbornly refuse to change into something new and flashy just to keep up with the rest of the city.  For me, Dan's Cottage IS AUSTIN. The things that make this spot so awesome are the same things that I found 17 years ago that I fell in Love with and essentially never really left.  The cottage and the garden are a true labor of love and that's evident the second that you arrive.  But this isn't just some nice home where somebody came in and in month or so busted open their wallet and threw money around for the HGTV treatment.  Instead, the charm and uniqueness and the secret sauce if you will that makes this such a wonderful place to stay is that this home offers so much more than just decor and doesn't share in that generic feeling that we so often see and feel in this Home Depot nation where everybody is copying everyone else in an effort to keep up with the trends.  Instead, It's crystal clear that Dan has spent many years and countless hours working on each little piece along the way, and the results speak in a language that can only come from an amalgam of doing things oneself, over time, piece by piece, with a common thread running throughout all. It's not unlike how an artist might add little touches to an ever evolving canvas over the course of many years. The result is a true piece of living, breathing art that you can actually live and breathe in!  Unfortunately our itinerary was slam packed, and all in all we got to spend perhaps even less than an hour while we were awake in the cottage.  But it was enough to know that the next time we need a place to stay in THE REAL AUSTIN, I know where we will look first, and if there is an opening over at Dan's cottage we won't even bother to look anywhere else. And next time we'll be sure to allow so much more time to sit and truly enjoy all of the cool and unique things that this destination has to offer, and we would recommend you do the same, but even if you're jetting in and jetting out in the blink of an eye, you'll be glad for the time you spent over there, no matter how short.  "
78974,10441229,2014-02-18,4182220,Abhishek,"Dan's place was comfortable and conveniently located next to some desirable spots on 1st st and South Congress.

The garden was very interesting and the Koi pond created a sense of peace and serenity. Unfortunately we did not meet Dan during our  stay but all in all we would recommend his place to anyone!"
78974,10522964,2014-02-23,12283167,Shea,Dan's garden cottage was perfect and just as described. Very nice peaceful energy in the garden. The cottage was quiet and had everything I needed. It is also in a great neighborhood that has that wonderful Austin vibe. Thanks Dan!
78974,10562163,2014-02-24,12216171,Simone And Jeremy,Dan's place was the perfect little oasis in Austin!  The space is truly beautiful and tranquil.  Dan is also super quick and communicative and made the process even that much better.  5 stars for giving us a really special place to stay among the hustle and bustle of the city!
78974,10726552,2014-03-04,12193173,Richard,"Dan's fenced in backyard is a marvel to behold.  I would gladly stay again just to see what is blooming there.  Very easy check in and out.  Quaint cottage and grounds are uniquely decorated and fun to interact with.

If in the Austin area again I will definitely check here first for accommodations."
78974,10877051,2014-03-11,10037927,Michael,"Dan was terrific and his place is very comfortable. Biking to the city was good -- except it's uphill the way back! And the weather didn't always cooperate, but I would come again. Dan is very organized, and he has a lovely garden. He's a professional and takes his role as host very seriously. "
78974,10907054,2014-03-12,7648223,Mari,"Dan is a great host! We had such a lovely time in Austin and Dan pointed us in the right direction for good places to eat and walk around. His place is in a great location and super clean. We had the futon and a really nice airbed, which was perfect. I would definitely stay here again! "
78974,10997789,2014-03-17,7480326,Tag,"Dan's garden cottage was perfect for my stay in Austin. I was there during SXSW, which is crazy fun, but also just plain crazy.  I needed a peaceful place to get away from all the hubbub and recharge my batteries. The cottage provided that for me perfectly. Dan let me use his bike the entire time, which greatly helped me get around to the different venues. My only regret is that I didn't spend enough time in Dan's neighborhood of South Austin, which has so much to offer to the interested traveler.  South Austin has real character, and is pretty much all that remains of the original Austin spirit. I recommend Dan's place without any reservation to anyone who wants a taste of the real deal.  

Dan was a great host, kind and generous in every way.  The cottage is squeaky clean, the garden is beautiful, and Iris, Dan's dog, is a real sweetheart.  I will be back, Lord willing and the creek don't rise!"
78974,11100075,2014-03-20,7141556,Graham,"Dan provided excellent communication and easy-to-follow instructions for checking-in.  Responsive to questions, friendly and eager to help.  The cottage was exactly as presented - cool, bright, clean, easily accessible and just close enough to all the things I wanted to do and see in Austin while being a calm retreat to gather my thoughts.  I would certainly look him up again if I am to return."
78974,11126391,2014-03-22,11511181,Chelsea,"My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at Dan's garden cottage. The cottage itself was clean and comfy. Perfect for a few days stay. The yard was absolutely beautiful- I especially enjoyed drinking my coffee each morning next to the Koi pond. Dan was a perfect host! Friendly with lots of great recommendations. The location was also great for us. Only about a $20 cab ride into downtown and we got to see much more of Austin than if we had stayed downtown (Apparently the bus is only $1 and goes right to downtown also, but we didnt get a chance to try it out). 

Overall, it was a perfect place to stay for our vacation in Austin, I would highly recommend it! "
78974,11197191,2014-03-24,3900111,Kathy,"Wonderful place to stay, Dan is an awesome host! and his place is very charming and clean."
78974,11353495,2014-03-31,8994360,Lisa,"Perfect place, lovely garden, quiet neighbourhood and close to the great things Austin has to offer: fab Mexican food, funky shops, music... We slept incredibly well, and had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay, Dan!"
78974,11542577,2014-04-07,12651016,Kelly,"Dan was very friendly and gave us fantastic recommendations for local places nearby the house. His garden was absolutely gorgeous and I wish we had more time to spend there! He greeted us when we were arriving and caught us on our way out and was a superb host. The cottage was so wonderful. It was the perfect size and had everything we needed. It rained when we were there and it made the most peaceful noise. Overall, this cottage was amazing and I hope to be back soon! "
78974,11733366,2014-04-14,548354,Greg & Sandra,"The Detached Garden Cottage has everything we need!  Dan's gardens and backyard ponds are a peaceful escape for a glass of wine or ""end of the day"" reflection.  Always nice to see Dan.  I consider him a buddy and my human ""link"" to all things Austin!"
78974,11813556,2014-04-15,9485619,Joseph,"Dan's cottage was perfect, we were in town for one night and met with friends for dinner on S Congress.  Dan set it up for us to come in late, very easy and friendly, everything was perfect, highly recommend. "
78974,11936500,2014-04-19,11193578,Elizabeth,We loved staying in Dan's backyard cottage! It was perfect for our 2 night stay in Austin. The cottage was very clean and the bed was really comfy. The location was great but still very quiet and peaceful. Dan made us feel right at home!
78974,12060358,2014-04-22,2197664,Chris & Christine,"Dan's garden cottage is the perfect place to stay in order to explore all that Austin has to offer.  It is close to all of the great food, bars, and shops on South 1st and South Congress, and is in walking distance to South Lamar, Downtown, and East Austin.  We walked everywhere from Dan's place.  The garden cottage itself is very welcoming and clean, and is equipped with everything you need for a short or long stay.  The futon, in particular, was very comfortable and we had great sleeps our whole trip.  Meeting and chatting with Dan was also great, as he has some interesting insights into Austin, both current and historical.  And last but not least, Dan's garden is amazing; all of the ponds, greenery, and cactus art was really beautiful, and it was a great place to relax before the day with a coffee or after a long day of touring around with a beer.  We highly recommend Dan's garden cottage to anyone going to Austin and we will definitely stay there again next time we are in Austin."

78974,12332443,2014-04-29,12349975,Brandee,"We loved staying in Dan's garden cottage, it was the perfect place for us to call home while we were in Austin for the weekend. Sitting out by the koi pond, watching the frogs and marveling at the bamboo groves and amazing landscape in Dan's yard was a great way to wind down after a day out and about in town. Dan is a super nice guy and we had fun chatting with him about Austin music, food, and how the city has evolved over the years. The cottage itself was comfortable, stayed nice and cool at night, and had everything we needed. We will definitely stay again if we're ever back in Austin. Thanks Dan!"
78974,12609279,2014-05-06,156068,Kelly,"Dan was so accommodating! We were able to walk to a number of great restaurants, coffee shops, and food trucks in minutes. Barton Springs is less than a 10-minute drive. This little cottage was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Dan's garden is amazing... we couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for everything, Dan!"
78974,12800723,2014-05-11,12364049,Philip,"Dan is gracious and a perfect host, and the space is unbeatable. I will definitely be back."
78974,12912654,2014-05-13,15346724,Stephen,I chose Dan as my first Airbnb host after reading the great reviews on his profile - and was glad I did. We had a billing issue with Airbnb that Dan handled very professionally. My girlfriend and I felt very at home here. The koi pond in his backyard is a great spot to unwind after a day of checking out the city. Looking forward to staying here again next time I'm in Austin!
78974,13023334,2014-05-17,4152595,Adam,Drove to Austin on a whim and found Dan's place on airbnb. It is a relaxed garden cottage with a bamboo forest and fish pond! Definitely recommended .

Alice"
78974,13428765,2014-05-27,5609786,Elena,"All went as expected with this great little base for exploring Austin. It is basic accommodations, but all you need if you are looking for a deal, and the garden/koi pond is lovely. Dan was a great host - kept in touch to say we could check in early, check out late, etc. "
78974,13558128,2014-05-30,1674198,Allie,Dad's home was welcoming and was the perfect oasis for my quick trip to Austin! The little backyard apartment had the ideal amount of privacy but also the comforts of a quick and fast friend in Dan! We will definitely be back as I have completely fallen in love with Austin!
78974,14113300,2014-06-12,5650333,Diane,"What a wonderful place to stay!!!!! This is our second time we have stayed at Dan's Garden Cottage. There is everything you need and more here. Dan is a wonderful host and great person, wonderful to talk & hangout with. I love all of his succulents & plants. The backyard is a wonderful relaxing oasis, with the Koi pond and bamboo. I also love his dog, Iris. Plus great locations !!!!
I would recommend to anyone !!!! Much better then staying in a hotel. We will be back again soon. Thanks Dan & Iris."
78974,14625004,2014-06-23,3238841,Dani,"My experience at Dan's cottage was great! Dan was very accommodating and communicated quickly and clearly from the time i reserved my stay til the time I left. I enjoyed my stay from the beginning--I was pleasantly surprised when I drove up to see that Dan's entire front and back yard is full of beautiful plants, including lots of tropical varieties that made it feel like a mini botanic garden park! At night he has the garden lit up with some small spotlights (none too glaring to overwhelm or that the blinds couldn't block out at night) and other festive string lights that make it so that even when I was coming in late at night it was pretty and fun as well as easy to navigate to the cottage. The cottage itself was very cosy and set up all ready for me, including bottles of water cooled in the fridge, towels and blankets ready for me to use, and handy directions for use of different items in the room as well as a notebook with some suggestions and travel directions to nearby popular cafe's and restaurant. Next time i'm in South Austin I will see if the cottage is available again!"
78974,15117184,2014-07-02,16158314,Paul,"Dan was a generous host! He was very open to sharing about Austin and gave me plenty of recommendations for good eats, fun activities, and stellar music! His cottage was a perfect getaway with the privacy and quietness I needed! Dan had the AC on when I arrived, so the cottage was a cool relief from the Texas heat. During my stay, Dan was available for questions, but never once imposed on my privacy. He had his bicycle fixed so I could use it to get around!! His garden is a nice little oasis away from the chaos! Dan, thanks again! I hope to see you again!"
78974,15335875,2014-07-07,16276995,Ariel,"My visit to Austin was great! Dan is a great host, very flexible and accommodating. Dan's cottage definitely has my recommendation. "
78974,15464430,2014-07-09,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"My husband and I have enjoyed staying at Dan's multiple times now, our favorite Austin Airbnb spot! You can't beat the location for great food and fun things to do, very close to Barton Springs! Dan is a wonderful host and great communicator. We look forward to our next visit! "
78974,16170701,2014-07-22,2993902,Emilio,"Great little garden cottage, Dan was the Man!!  Super clean, AC was nice and cool.  Neighborhood is old school, and safe.  Serene all around!"
78974,16754453,2014-08-01,11571175,Kamie,"Dan was a wonderful host and his property was absolutely amazing, it's truly something you have to see to believe. The cottage cooled quickly and was an ideal place to relax and regroup while I researched apartments in the Austin area. I appreciated the tips on where to go and was ecstatic to find bottles of water and a couple beers in the fridge! "
78974,16936648,2014-08-04,18600897,Brian,I had a great time in Austin. Dan was a excellent host. everything was as described. I couldn't be more happy with our experience. I would stay with him again
78974,17339571,2014-08-11,13645981,Kelly,We absolutely loved our stay with Dan in Austin.  He was so friendly & helpful with getting around Austin & places to visit.  The room is really comfortable & clean & the air conditioning works a treat.  A perfect size space for a couple.  We can't thank Dan enough for his hospitality during our stay & the amazing surroundings that are his back yard.  See you next time we are in Austin Dan!!!
78974,17919677,2014-08-18,5160763,Lindsey,"This was our first Airbnb experience, and we fell in love with it. Dan was very communicative (and quick to respond) leading up to our stay, and everything was as promised and described. It was clean, welcoming, and the garden is beautiful! Location was perfect and very accessible, yet we still felt tucked away with privacy (thanks to the cozy garden setup). Surprisingly, the futon was VERY comfortable (which is a rare thing). This is really the perfect amount of space for two people traveling through, definitely made our last-minute getaway feel like a true vacation. Highly recommended.

"
78974,18220678,2014-08-23,3798916,Natalia,"Dan is a lovely and welcoming host. We had all we need in our room. Even sugar for our coffee :) and yes, futon is very comfy indeed. Dan is an interesting person, we adored his garden and everything in it. He is always ready to answer your questions and has helpfull info and maps in the room. We loved the area, it seems very safe and pretty close to everything we wanted / well.. At least by car! We would love to stay here again if we are ever in Austin! Thank you Dan!"
78974,18539831,2014-08-28,17720747,Joannis,"Dan was a very nice host and very knowledgeable about all things Austin. We arrived too late, yet we received a personal warm welcome, that was was continued during our whole stay! The small cottage was even more beautiful than it appears on the photos. It is immaculately kept and full of nice surprises like beer in the fridge, water and plenty of coffee to start up your day.The garden is wonderful and Dan invites generously to enjoy it. Great talks on the porch and great advice about where and what to do in Austin. He even sent us e-mails about music events taking place. South Austin is a very characterful place. One is in a nice and peaceful neighborhood, within view of downtown! "
78974,18793344,2014-09-01,993122,Abby,"Great room and bed. Very quiet, peaceful and clean.   It's a bit of a hike to downtown, but south austin is the better part of the city anyway.   Would definitely stay here again. "
78974,19191303,2014-09-08,5702401,Richard,"Dan was very welcoming and cordial...he provided us with some bottled water when we arrived and gave us some good information about places to eat nearby. He also gave us very good directions from the airport and had given us all the information we needed by email even before we arrived.The location was centrally located giving easy access to all areas of Austin. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing and the room was comfortable and cozy. If you need basic housing at an affordable price, this is the place. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.  "
78974,19561763,2014-09-14,18168862,Bonnie,"The cottage was charming, and the yard was serene and beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. Dan was accommodating and welcoming. "
78974,19845844,2014-09-19,21063427,Therese,"Our stay in Dan's detached garden cottage was very nice. The cottage was clean, comfortable and cute. It is  the perfect size for two people and the amenities are just right: the small fridge and the coffee pot (and coffee) were just perfect for mornings and evenings. We didn't have a car during our stay in Austin and had no trouble getting around. There are several different buses which pass more or less near to Dan's (on 5th, 1st, Congress and Oltorf) and with them you can get around fairly easily. I have already recommended Dan's cottage to several people! "
78974,20089922,2014-09-23,8677358,Bob,"Dan's garden cottage is a great place to stay while exploring Austin. The cottage itself was clean and comfortable and had everything you needed for your stay, including a comfortable futon, thirsty bath towels, assorted toiletries, a refrigerator stocked with bottled water and beer and much more.

Dan also provided great recommendations on music to check out and restaurants to go to. There are several restaurants you can walk to, or it is about a $12 Uber ride to get downtown.

Dan was a great host, I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Austin."
78974,20479157,2014-09-29,1471842,Justin,"Apartment was simple, clean, and well kept. No frills, but easy walk to 1st South and SoCo neighborhood.  Perfect for a solo traveler, as was the case on my last visit.

Also: Dan was SO accommodating! Upon arrival, he made sure I had everything I needed, but still provided me with plenty of privacy.

A true host- Dan was great! "
78974,20811066,2014-10-06,4968617,Cindy,"The place fabulous! Dan also had a lot of tips for us that helped us navigate Austin. We would definitely stay at dan's again.
Backyard is a huge bonus!

78974,21959844,2014-10-27,5664007,Benjamin,"Dan's home on S4th is tucked away in an absolutely perfect ATX neighborhood. The Guest House is standard and nothing amazing. His yard, however more than makes up for it. Why spend time in your room if you can chill by a gorgeous Koi Pond with waterfalls?

I would absolutely spend my time here again and plan to make this my go-to Austin AirBnB. Gracias Dan."
78974,22138810,2014-10-31,11774082,Terri,"Dan was very easy to work with, quick to respond, and even helped me coordinate having some deliveries made to his house on the day of our arrival! Great & very affordable space-perfect for our much-too-quick stop over in Austin! Very quick commute to all the sites, shopping, and food we wanted to see. He has an incredible back yard with lights at night that make for a great spot to end the evening! Added bonus, his pup Iris is pretty darn sweet and cute! Would definitely rent again!"
78974,22296668,2014-11-03,20825200,Tracy,"We were so lucky to find Dan's wonderful garden cottage to stay in during our visit to Austin and the Formula One race Nov 2014. The location was perfect for us with easy access to the freeways, cool neighborhoods and downtown Austin. The cottage is cozy and just right for one or two people; the futon bed was very comfortable. The bonus for us (being artists/gardeners) was his incredible Oasis of a yard with Koi pond/waterfall, stands of lush bamboo, fun art everywhere, and magical uplighting in the evening. It was a perfect place to sit outside and relax after our fun-filled hectic days! We really enjoyed visiting with Dan...he's so artistic and such a great welcoming host. Thanks for a great home-away-from-home Dan! "
78974,22455597,2014-11-07,20804466,Steve,"My girlfriend and I came to Austin for a wedding and decided to try an AirBNB for the first time, and our experience with Dan couldn't have been better. The cottage is in a great part of town, close to to the essentials--tacos and coffee. ""Garden"" is an understatement, as walking through the gate is like walking into a different world of color and sound. It was a bit confusing on the few rainy days because we couldn't tell if it was raining that hard or if it was just one of the fountains, but what a nice problem to have. Dan's also been super accommodating to our particular schedule and is just generally a cool dude. My only regret is that we spent so much time running around town and not enough relaxing outside of the cottage space."
78974,22524521,2014-11-09,11509543,Adam,Dan was an awesome guy! He has a beautiful home/yard and made me feel very welcome in Austin! Would recommend!
78974,22582488,2014-11-10,20804466,Steve,"We'd stayed at Dan's cottage for four nights, then were at a wedding venue for two, before going back to the cottage for our last night in town. Dan was more than accommodating for our weird schedule and made us feel totally at home however long we were there. Great spot in town, everything is accessible pretty damn quick. Beyond happy with the choice to do airbnb and to stay with Dan in particular."
78974,22786556,2014-11-14,14120598,David,"Dan was very accommodating to our needs and understanding when were later than we expected to be. The cottage was cozy, clean and comfortable. We were there on a cold day but Dan had the heat on when we arrived. He is a very personable host and made us feel welcome. The location is in a very convenient part of town and the neighbourhood is charming and quiet. In all, it was a very nice experience and we definitely would like to come back."
78974,22836753,2014-11-16,9105604,Leah,"This was a great place for our one night in Austin. Location was perfect, spent the night just 3 miles north on Rainey Street. Room was very private and clean. Felt comfortable immediately. Would definitely stay again!"
78974,23038459,2014-11-21,10624670,Joy,"Dan was a great host.  Popcorn and beer waiting for me when I arrived late one evening.  Half and half and coffee for the morning.  He was available and responsive.  Thumbs up!  
"
78974,23089558,2014-11-22,4852426,Bob,"We enjoyed our stay at Dan's garden oasis conveniently located in the heart of South Austin. Dan is a very warm & welcoming host. He makes you feel right at home. My 9 year old daughter & I were lulled into the magical feeling at night of the flowing water, Koi pond, bamboo forest & festive lights of the backyard garden. The design & feel of Dan's place is reflective in his love for Oaxaca, Mexico. Fun, funky, clean & eclectic. A very relaxing place to stay. Next stop Oaxaca!"
78974,23140164,2014-11-23,4960732,Maggie,"We had such a great time staying at Dans place! It is a beautiful spot and Dan is the coolest. If you want a fun, authentic, unique Austin experience....stay with Dan!! "
78974,23221219,2014-11-25,20665281,Michael,"We arrived after the drive up from houston and we feel we made it with relative ease because of the fantastic directions the host sent us the day before. My friend is from England and I am from Australia so we had no idea really of how to get to Austin so it was very helpful! 
On arrival Dan welcomed us to his home and showed us around, he let me use the washer and dryer straight away which was awesome and also gave us some great recommendations on where to eat and what bands would be good to see, he has great knowledge of Austin's' music scene and is a super friendly host.  The neighbourhood is quiet and walking distance to shops and the ABGB Brewery which we loved, it has great beer and great food. It really was a great stay and I would definitely use air bnb again based on this experience. "
78974,23282104,2014-11-27,4960732,Maggie,"Dan is the man. Not only did we have a comfortable stay in his place, but he let us borrow his bike all day to explore the city (he even filled the tires with air :)), we had an inspiring chat with him and his traveler buddy who also sent us home with some amazing British Columbian salmon he caught! This community of genuine people rocks! "
78974,23541599,2014-12-03,4510029,Karen,"We arrived early evening and left before the sun was up. Checking in and out are a breeze. There was a little fridge with some thirst quenching water (which made me happy). The back yard is nice, and our host was extremely kind and helpful; above and beyond what I expected. Need I say more?

Karen "
78974,24351321,2014-12-26,25132994,Tony,"Dan was awesome! The garden cottage was everything we were hoping for, plenty spacious and comfortable for two and in a great backyard that's a little slice of jungle right in Austin. He recommended a great spot for the night that we would never have been able to find by ourselves. Would definitely stay here again."
78974,24509856,2014-12-29,23542276,Clara,"This is a great little apartment. Dan emailed me with info on where to find the key and how to get inside.  So, arrival was very easy.  Apt is in a great area and is really comfortable, clean and cozy inside. It has all you need ...microwave, small fridge, coffee pot etc... It also has a really nice garden outside. Futon/bed is comfortable.  I stayed in the apartment once and then immediately booked it for a 2nd stay.  Dan is great and helpful with any info you need about the area.  "
78974,24565189,2014-12-30,6878130,Rebecca,"Dan was incredibly helpful, and recommended great music for us to hear at night. We were comfortable and happy in the cottage after a long travel day. Thanks Dan!!! "
78974,24750001,2015-01-02,5649100,Dayna,"My husband and I had a wonderful time at Dan's venue. We were very pleased with the hospitality and especially the white wine treat that was left for our arrival. As much as we are in Austin it was nice to stay somewhere different besides with our families; we will definitely stay at Dan's place again.

The place was perfect for two I had all the amenities that we needed. 

Best AirBnB Ever!!!!!!"
78974,24897496,2015-01-03,3986028,Jennifer,"The cottage is clean and cozy, located in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin. Dan is an excellent host, personable and attentive. It's clear he wants his guests to feel welcome and comfortable. I slept great on the high-quality futon bed."
78974,25057025,2015-01-05,20315192,Ismael,"Dan was amazing. The room was equipped with everything we needed from guides to things to do in Austin to coffee and other drinks for us to enjoy. It is a really nice location just a few minutes from downtown whether we were driving or taking the bus. The cottage itself was well kept and really cozy right next to a beautiful garden and greenhouse. Dan is super friendly and answered all the questions we had before and during the trip. If you're ever in Austin, definitely stay here."
78974,25225495,2015-01-09,25191286,Erica,Loved it. Arrived at night. Dan welcomed me. Room had everything I needed. Amazing yard.
78974,25440083,2015-01-16,21526242,Simon,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I was absolutely blown away. I saw Dan briefly when I first got in and he was very cool about the whole thing. Showed me where the keys were and and I was good to go. There were waters, a soda, and beers in the fridge, fully stocked shower and bathroom supplies and even a guitar on the wall to play around with. The futon was actually surprisingly comfortable (I'm 6'1 and I fit just fine on it). It took me about 30 minutes to walk into the city or about a $10 Lyft ride.

Overall a great experience. I only spent a night there but would easily be comfortable spending longer.

Thanks Dan!"
78974,25625395,2015-01-20,26326167,Steen,Everything was perfect for our quick night in Austin. Such BEAUTIFUL property. A perfect escape after a crazy vacation! 
78974,25743443,2015-01-25,24521579,John,"The room was just as the listing stated. The host was helpful and also respected our privacy. The neighborhood has a funky vibe & gives one a great sense of South Austin. Dan's place is in a super location ~ near many popular food venues, in a safe neighborhood, and is a great buy for the neighborhood. The room was clean and tidy & offered use of microwave, small refrigerator, coffee maker w/ coffee, soaps and shampoo for guest use. Highly recommended!"
78974,26100955,2015-02-03,3143031,John,"We have always wanted to visit Austin and sought out a perfect location within the city.  Luckily, we ran across Dan's perfect cottage.  Its location made our stay very pleasant and convenient. 

Dan's cottage was very serene and beautiful.  We had long grueling days and returning to his cottage gave us a rest we doubt we could find elsewhere.  We enjoyed the refreshments and amenities he offered in his cottage.  Around the cottage, we enjoyed the greenhouse and pond that Dan has taken care of throughout the years.  

Almost all of Austin's famous food establishments are less than 10 minutes away if you have a car.  There are also a multitude of dining options if you would like to walk."
78974,26467894,2015-02-13,7672340,Andre,"Dan was fantastic arranging our stay, even while out of the country!  Fantastic little bungalow with a totally ""austin"" vibe.  10/10 will stay again."
78974,26503769,2015-02-14,24629332,Marc,"We rolled into this cool little spot after a week in Big Bend. After an 8 our drive, this is a perfect oasis. Dan's backyard is worth the price of admission. This place is great and close to quite a bit of what Austin has to offer."
78974,26738810,2015-02-18,24426343,Samantha,"Thanks for opening your cottage to us.  It was exactly what we needed during our vacay!  It was a great location within walking distances to many places (be in mind I'm cool with walking a mile or more to get to places) bus stations were near by; however, I found the bus system to not be reliable. Dan ended up being busy that weekend but his friend Stan stepped in and was there to help when needed and quickly responded to any questions/concerns.  "
78974,26881580,2015-02-21,2436755,Pamela,"My husband and I had a great time in Austin staying at Dan's apartment.

78974,27092210,2015-02-25,14327594,Ivete,"The little cottage was cozy and private, just what I was looking for. Everything was neat and comfortable. Thank you very much!"
78974,27223259,2015-02-28,20286082,Sommer,"Stellar studio for a weekend getaway! My best friend and I spent most of our time exploring Austin, and happily retreated to this garden oasis. Futon was comfy, plenty of linens, and ample street parking in a safe neighborhood. Close proximity to South Congress and Downtown Austin (5 minute drive, if that). We didn't walk because of the frigid weather, but took an uber to 6th street for $10. 
Thanks Dan for your hospitality, and for the h2o in the fridge! Cheers!"
78974,27669905,2015-03-09,4298831,Megan,"Dan's place is located in a fun, hip part of town. Very easy access to tons of great bars, restaurants, food trucks and shops. With Dan's place you enter through his side gate which leads directly to your cottage in the backyard. His back yard is beautiful, corky and very eccentric. Tons of amazing plants, colorful pottery, Christmas lights, toys and trinkets. It has a coy pond with fish with a bench so you sit and relax. The room itself is nicely decorated and clean. Perfect for one to two people. Dan provides a guest book with tons of local recommendations. He also provides you with beer and water. He made us feel perfectly at home and we will definitely return.

78974,27890418,2015-03-14,28292638,Erin,A great place to stay! The perfect place to stay after a long day. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!
78974,28117651,2015-03-18,24372341,Christopher,"both our host and the place were just plain fantastic. the garden house is ship clean and very cozy. i have a bad back, but slept like a baby on the futon. the garden is worth the trip alone. the neighbourhood is a welcome refuge from the stressfulness of downtown during sxsw with lots or amazing food options and a great record store almost in walking distance, while still being central enough to make it to downtown in no time. dan has two bicycles to borrow free of charge, which is extremely convenient and the easiest way to get around. dan himself is a very friendly, relaxed and helpful host. we shared some stories and drinks with him almost every night, sitting in that amazing garden. he is very reliable and was offering help both during our stay and even with planning beforehand. should we - hopefully! - ever make it back to austin, dan's place would be our one and only option."

The location was perfect for exploring, and in the afternoons we enjoyed escaping the heat in the garden.  Dan was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and we benefitted from his recommendations.  We appreciated the proximity to lots of awesome restaurants, and had an amazing time eating our way around Austin.  Highly recommended!"
78974,28921658,2015-03-31,28420668,Lupe,"Dan was the perfect host, and his cottage was clean, private and comfortable.  He was so very helpful, especially since this was our very first Airbnb stay and a last-minute business trip. I only wish we had had more time to relax in his lovely, quirky garden and enjoy the wine that was provided with the room. We would definitely stay here again for a relaxing weekend!"
78974,29086441,2015-04-03,30363889,Vera,"Dan was a great host! We got in unexpectedly late on Thursday night (midnight) but he was still able to give us directions and accommodate our stay. The room is neat, clean, and cozy. The space was large enough to feel at home in. The bathroom was also especially clean and well appointed. My boyfriend and I loved his gardens, which were wonderful and filled with amazing bamboo and succulents. There was also free beer and water in the fridge and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we came in. Can't get much better. 

If you have any doubts, you can read his guest book! It's chock full of more great comments and praise for his space. "
78974,29258826,2015-04-06,2358860,Emily,"We loved this place! A friend and I stayed here for a weekend trip to Austin. The succulent garden is beautiful (the pictures don't do it justice), the room was clean and comfortable, and Dan was a perfect host. The location is also great- a short cab ride or leisurely walk to SoCo and 1st. It was nice to have a quiet place to come back to. This was our first trip to Austin and we would definitely stay at the Garden Cottage again. Thanks Dan! "
78974,29629261,2015-04-10,29666079,Britni,This room was exactly as it was pictured on the site. It was comfortable and the backyard setting was beautiful. Dan was very nice and accommodating. The detached room felt private and there was a side entrance which was great. The location was perfect! There is even a view of downtown from his tree-lined street. 
78974,29901586,2015-04-13,25191286,Erica,Love staying at Dan's. Feel like I'm at home
78974,30030971,2015-04-16,2663792,Kyle,"Dan's cottage is an excellent location that is close to the city proper (our first day here we walked everywhere and made it to the Capital building, along the hike and bike trail and back along South Congress) but feels far enough away to be a kind of oasis as well. Beautiful garden, as everyone else has said, and Dan himself was totally nice and accommodating. Definitely would stay here again!"
78974,30288254,2015-04-20,5650333,Diane,Great Place!!!! We love staying at Dan's Garden Cottage. Everything you need!!! Love the garden !! Great location!!! Dan & Iris are wonderful host. We will be back !!!
78974,30604438,2015-04-25,5650333,Diane,"Wonderful!!!! We have stayed at Dan's Garden Cottage many times and have always had a wonderful time. Everything you need is there, the location is great. Dan has great suggestions for restaurants and music. Dan & Iris his black lab are great host. We would highly recommend staying at Dan's. 
We will be back !!!!!!"
78974,30898361,2015-04-28,22221195,Jalem,"Both Dan and his place were amazing! My friend and I were visiting Austin for the first time and Dan's place was exactly what we were looking for - it was comfortable, clean, and private. Dan himself was an amazing host. Thank you! "
78974,31303148,2015-05-04,16256302,Ronit,"Dan was an excellent host and the cottage was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The neighborhood is quiet but walking distance or a couple minute drive to shops, food, etc. and Dan's garden is truly a work of art. 
would love to stay here again!"
78974,31659086,2015-05-08,5018358,Merren,"Staying at Dan's typified all that is great about Airbnb: a welcoming, generous, informative host Dan went out of his way to give us a great time with his knowledge of the city and music venues in particular. After travelling for a few months the little apartment and lovely garden was perfect to relax in. It was great to be able to walk or take a bus to the SoCo area or city centre and beyond. There are three bus routes that pass near by. We also appreciated the fruit, coffee etc provided, the fridge and coffee maker. A very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything Dan!"
78974,31716066,2015-05-09,3436607,Zachary,Dan's place was fantastic. The gardens were a relaxing respite which we enjoyed with a cold Lone Star in hand. The living space had everything we needed and the futon was surprisingly comfortable! Would gladly come back!
78974,32042541,2015-05-12,18139037,Taylor,Dan was great. He let us book last minute when our flight got canceled and let us borrow his bikes. Thanks for having us! 
78974,32273221,2015-05-16,15848769,Jenn,"The garden cottage is a fantastic place with an awesome host!  Dan helped us the second we had even a minor issue and made us feel very welcome.  It is situated close enough to the Austin action that getting around from our ""Home base"" was a breeze.  Some of our favorite time was just spent hanging out in Dan's incredible gardens.  Would definitely visit sgain snd recommend to friends."
78974,32403054,2015-05-17,21146166,Ryan,"Dan was a great host and the garden was awesome. The house was clean, comfortable, and close to a lot of great spots in south Austin!"
78974,32836716,2015-05-22,23830956,Edmond,"Dan is a great host. He is helpful and responds very quickly. The little casita is perfect for one or two guests who are there to visit the area. Everything was great and clean. 
"
78974,33081389,2015-05-25,11774082,Terri,"This is the second time we have stayed with Dan! He is our go-to-spot in Austin whenever we are swinging through town. Great location, so affordable, he is REALLY flexible with us and our comings/goings, and his backyard--is as always, amazing. And he even leaves the pretty lights on for when you come home late at night! We strongly recommend him and plan to stay there again our next time in town!"
78974,33721052,2015-05-31,23089953,Nodari,Absolute magic 
78974,34262302,2015-06-06,18172815,Morgan,Dan was very welcoming and laid back. The cottage is perfect for two people and very cozy. We had a wonderful time! 
78974,34349952,2015-06-07,11758117,Samantha,Dan was super accommodating and easy to get ahold of. His backyard is amazing and a must see.  It's a perfect size room for two people with a lovely tile shower. I will most definitely be staying with Dan again whenever I have the chance! 
78974,34658225,2015-06-10,33989959,Julia,"Everything was ready when we showed up, and the space was perfect for our purposes. Dan was great about stocking the fridge with water to keep us cool in the Texas heat, and the backyard is an oasis of cool. Great little place in the '04 and highly recommend it. "
78974,34884157,2015-06-13,33858004,Michele,Lovely garden cottage surrounded by gardens and water features with lots of Austin charm.  Host Texas-friendly and very responsive.  Would definitely stay again and recommend to others wanting a taste of Austin living.  
78974,35056088,2015-06-14,33698244,Daniel,Really awesome host with beautiful backyard and patio. I arrived very late and he was very understanding about it. He also let me stay a bit longer as nobody had booked after me so I was able to get a great sleep! thanks for the hospitality! 
78974,36404662,2015-06-28,33323640,Laura Beth,Dan had everything ready to go for our stay and let us drop off my bags early and offered to let us stay late! The property is like an oasis in his backyard with a beautiful garden and koi pond that we enjoyed. The futon was even more comfortable than expected for the two of us.  highly recommend Dan! 
78974,37480849,2015-07-07,34682499,Rusty,"Being it was my first time I was hesitate about the airbnb experience,  but Dan made the experience stress free with his outgoing, friendly and helpful personalty. Great host with a great place. It was cozy and at night before going to bed it was easy to unwind with the koi pond and the lights shining through the bamboo."
78974,37632199,2015-07-08,4913398,Jeddy,"Fantastic experience and botanical escape. As an active host myself, the challenge of writing a thoughtful, valuable review is offering something fresh and unique. What's new to be said after 234 glowing reviews? Mainly that Dan offers what I consider to be an exemplary Airbnb experience, in terms of uniqueness, value, and human connection. 

Those looking for hotel-esque interiors won't find them here. Rather, you'll find what hotels and hosts alike would be at pains to replicate - over 2 decades of gardening, home-crafting, and Austinite wisdom. 

I used the cottage itself minimally, but enough to notice that all the basics, plus some thoughtful extras (wine and Lone Star in the fridge, peppermint oil soap), were included for a reasonable price. The AC blows very cold, a must in Texas summers. WiFi worked well, both inside the cottage and throughout the garden. 

This brings me to the exterior, where Dan's listing really shines. With generous space to walk through or relax in the different garden areas, including the koi pond, deck, and greenhouse, it truly is its own unique oasis in the heart of Austin, oozing soul and personality. It was refreshing to sit at the koi pond after a long day and have a stimulating chat with Dan.

As for Dan himself, I really commend him on his hospitality. Beyond the basics - great responsiveness and being respectful of privacy - he also accommodated my late check-in and check-out graciously. It was easy to see that even after 200+ reviews, he still cares deeply about guests'  happiness.

5 stars. Well done."
78974,37769792,2015-07-10,28357886,Braeden,"Dan was an amazing and responsive host. He truly cared about the little details of our stay. There was water and a few beers in the fridge. He asked what time we would be arriving so he could have the AC on for us. He recommended a few restaurants within close distance to the place that we took him up on. 
We enjoyed chatting with Dan about Austin, about traveling, and enjoying his beautiful garden. We would not want to stay anywhere but here on our next trip. "
78974,38659844,2015-07-17,27363543,Anna,A cosy hideaway in a downtown jungle. Dan is a cool Austinite who knows the area and keeps a chill vibe in the place. It was easy to bike around and close to Summermoon coffee!
78974,40044453,2015-07-27,35791307,Austin,Great experience. Dan was an easygoing and generous host. The south Austin location was perfect for getting to the Barton Hills area and downtown. Dan also has a quiet backyard garden area that his guests are free to use. The cottage was just as advertised--cozy and clean.
78974,40807953,2015-08-02,28584649,Dorothy,"Place was just what I expected. Laid back and fun atmosphere, just like Austin. Spotless accommodations and neighborhood was nice and quiet. Walked to Summer Moon Coffee which I would also recommend."
78974,41184083,2015-08-04,40382252,Kim,"Dan is the perfect host- exceedingly accommodating, quick to respond and offer any assistance that might be needed. The property is one of a kind and truly is a treasure! I hope I get to come back some day!"
78974,41527667,2015-08-07,14548689,Phil,"Dan was a great host. We talked with him a few times and he was very friendly, and he allowed us to do our own thing and come and go as we pleased. The property was beautiful! Fully recommend staying with Dan."
78974,42935945,2015-08-16,4481628,Ana,Perfect stay! Close to everything. We really enjoyed sitting by the pond with the fish and frogs. Highly recommended! 
78974,43839885,2015-08-22,23751167,Angelica,Dan was an amazing and gracious host. He had great suggestions and was friendly and accommodating. Everything was clean and was in walking distance to the soco neighborhood. I would definitely recommend his place! 
78974,44052834,2015-08-23,41058571,Kathryn,"My parents and I were incredibly pleased with this beautiful, cozy spot that we found on AirBNB. We could not have been any more pleased with Dan's hospitality. This is truly a hidden gem in the absolute best part of Austin. His backyard garden is very impressive and the pictures don't do it justice. Thank you Dan for showing them such a genuinely wonderful part of this city and for being so welcoming. They told me they plan to stay there for every visit in the future!"
78974,44866296,2015-08-29,16709147,Grace,"Instructions were super easy to follow, we were greeted right away and were left alone after that. Super location, close to cool places to eat and people watch especially with the use of Dan's bikes! Nice room, cozy and had everything we needed!"
78974,45049967,2015-08-30,25768652,Callie,"Dan , 

Upon arrival; the humble abode had a beautiful energy about it, with the lovely planets and succulents surrounding you such a peace about Dans little casita.  Simplistic and cozy well enough space for two. Im thankful that I stumbled upon this gem for my stay in Austin.  Everything austin can offer is right around the corner, walking distance to prettying every thing down town. 
Thanks again, I'll be staying again and definitely referring my friends. "
78974,46181927,2015-09-08,41376170,Alissa,"As indicated by the other reviews, this is a unique and beautiful space with great energy! The cottage is clean and comfortable, and very quiet. Dan is friendly, responsive, and thoughtful - adding several nice touches such as a copy of the week's Austin Chronicle."
78974,46687414,2015-09-12,1577112,Zack,"Thanks dan for getting us accommodated on such short notice. It was a pleasure talking with you and hope to stay at your place again.  
Best
Zack"
78974,47717502,2015-09-21,147587,Molly,"We had a great experience at Dan's detached garden cottage. He gave us lots of great information, was flexible with our schedule, and helped us get oriented to SoCo. The place is unique and special. The location was great. The garden was a nice place to decompress after a busy day. I heartily recommend Dan and his garden cottage!"
78974,47758166,2015-09-21,42400728,Brady,"There are tons of reviews for Dan's place and for good reason. Its an amazing space and great location! Anything you need is at your finger tips and Dan can direct you. Most of all, enjoyed conversating with Dan on the back deck which overlooks what I call a sanctuary. Enough said."
78974,48436143,2015-09-26,32807608,Robert,"Dan is a terrific host. His garden is serene and full of little hidden folk art treasures from all over. The  studio is very comfortable, clean and quite. The location is minutes to everything in Austin.  Try the South 1st food court, it has great food for all tastes. Thank you for a great stay! "
78974,48558615,2015-09-27,21665690,Chenny,"As all the other reviews attest, staying at this place was wonderful. We had a very quick and busy visit to Austin so we unfortunately didn't get to interact with Dan very much, but he was friendly, kind, and professional. The garden is very cool and the cottage is clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here if possible. "
78974,49213950,2015-10-02,4452939,Timothy,"Cute and comfy place!
Great yard, and walking distance to a ton of rad things. dan was super nice and accommodating would stay here next time we're in Austin!"
78974,49425869,2015-10-04,34960012,Marlen,"Dan made my first Airbnb experience a wonderful one. He was so nice and his backyard is amazing. The cottage was nice, clean, and cold when I arrived. He even had snacks and drinks in the mini fridge! The neighborhood was really quiet and everything was close close by. Dan is a great host and if I'm ever in Austin again I would book with him again. "
78974,49965334,2015-10-07,2207886,Shea,Dan's place was charming and quiet. We had everything we needed. He was super nice.
78974,50616869,2015-10-13,35570425,Sarah,"My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience staying at Dan's cottage. We were there for a week and we already miss waking up there. Nice quiet neighborhood, lots of shops walking or biking distance from his place. We would wake up every morning and walk down to the coffee shop, it was just perfect. Dan was extremely warm and welcoming. He gave us everything we needed and makes you feel like you're really at home. We will definitely be booking with him again!!! "
78974,51117757,2015-10-18,20820022,Pat,"This is a fantastic place! Dan was very cool and extremely easy to communicate with. It was great to be in the company of a true S. Austin resident, and he rolled out all of the hospitality. Everything went very smooth from check in to check out. We'll certainly stay here again. "
78974,51871577,2015-10-24,31546610,Nathan,"This was one of the best airbnb stays we have had. Dan was an excellent host who has a beautiful yard and a very welcoming apartment. He was more then happy to give us recommendations on where to explore and eat. Since he's lived in Austin for about 30 years the places he told us to check out were the old, unique, and real parts of Austin. Being how quiet it was when at his house, you would think you're in the middle of no where. However he is only a quick walk,bike or car ride away from many local shops and restaurants. Could not of asked for a better host and will be staying again next time we are in town!"
78974,52469091,2015-10-29,11070513,Yuki,"Dan was a great host. He was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us our lodgings, which matched the description perfectly. He had a beautiful home and we had a comfortable stay. Would stay again!"
78974,52971460,2015-11-03,43727038,Justin,"Dan was very friendly, accomodating, flexible and knowledgable. Historic flooding in Austin delayed our arrival by almost 12 hours. Dan was in contact, and had many good suggestions, and was completely fine with a major change in our arrival time. Checking-in was easy, and Dan greeted us briefly to welcome us.

We found the cottage to be very clean, and adjacent to Dan's wonderful garden, and greenhouse. The cottage itself is cozy, and was just the right size for us. There were clean towels and sheets, and some brochures about attractions around town. We appreciated the coffee maker/coffee, bottles of water, and the thought behind stocking some cans of beer. 

Dan is kind and inquisitive without being intrusive. You can tell he's got a ton of great stories, but wants to respect the little time that you may have as a visitor. 

Check-out was a breeze. "
2198014,32991427,2015-05-24,3378535,Jeremy,"Clean and welcoming! The room was super comfortable and bright. Diana was a great host and really had me feeling like i was at home! thank you so much for making my stay in austin enjoyable. Bonus points for Ender, the cutest puppy! "
2198014,37110296,2015-07-04,17826799,Alex,"It's nice to stay at Diana's place, she and her roommate not only gave us lots of info about where to go, but also lend us chairs when we get in the line of Franklin BBQ. Highly recommend to stay at Diana's place  when visiting Austin."
2198014,40300759,2015-07-29,22533465,Tyler,"Great stay. Highly recommended. Diana was very accommodating when planning the trip, especially considering it was a very last-minute booking and we arrived late at night. 

Clean, cool wall art everywhere, ample street parking, and friendly hosts. 

We left with (literally) a list of recommended things to do in Austin, and are checking off that list now! Thanks guys!"
2198014,41802867,2015-08-09,16144782,Chris,Diana made sure I had all the info right before and worked with me even for a late check in!  We gained access to the room and it was very comfortable. Everything was as described and the neighborhood felt welcoming. Everyone at the house was polite and friendly. Definitely worth staying here!
2198014,46067091,2015-09-07,42783727,Becca,"Diana did meet us upon arrival. This is a private room in their home. It has a bed and central air conditioning. The bathroom is shared with a tenant or roommate.

There was an empty box of condoms in the see-through storage container on the bed side. The bed was comfortable but the room was consistently warm.

At 12pm on our first evening, we did have to request that Diana and her boyfriend turn down the television. It was very audible and could be heard from down the hall. We also requested them to cool down the air condition. Our assessment was that it was likely around 80 degrees within the home.  

Diana, on the day of arrival, highlighted she would be watching her boyfriend's family dogs. This totaled four dogs, which was incongruent with our expectations upon booking. 

"
2198014,50285937,2015-10-11,36365992,Brittany,"Diana's home was very nice and spacious. The room was clean as was the bathroom. Diana, her boyfriend and their roommate were very friendly and accommodating. Diana also had a lot of good suggestions for things to do and places to eat, which were fun/delicious! Definitely would recommend staying here."
2198014,51167858,2015-10-18,8007947,Justin,"My girlfriend and I recently stayed here for 6 nights. Diana and her boyfriend Robin made us feel right at home. They were more than willing to share their house and many tips about Austin in general with us. We stayed because we actually moved to Austin, but didn't yet have an apartment. It was great to have made a couple friends already in Diana and Robin. Can't recommend them enough."
5272399,44072548,2015-08-23,3663248,Jackson,"Diana and Paul have set their place up incredibly well. Of all the airbnb places we have stayed, this by far, easily the best. It's clean, comfortable, and every little detail has been thought of. If every airbnb was like this - hotels would go out of business. The location had easy access to the main highway and it was easy for us to get around."
2366328,10883558,2014-03-11,4685031,Patrick,"The perfect hideaway and oasis for my SXSW stay! The room and facilities were immaculate and comforting, the location in Austin was top-notch, and Pam was nothing but a pleasant host. From the moment I saw this listing I knew it would be a great place for my trip and it lived up to my expectations and more."
2366328,10944912,2014-03-14,2561972,Thierry,Pam is an amazing host!
2366328,11058930,2014-03-18,5783554,Mary,"Pam was the perfect host for our stay in Austin for SXSW! She was available when needed, which wasn't much at all because everything was ready for us right when we got there. Cleanliness is key and she made sure everything was perfect upon our arrival. One of the days it rained and she was even sweet enough to leave us umbrellas. As for location, this was the perfect spot to be because you're within walking distance to all that South Congress has to offer, and a short bike ride to downtown and all the other must sees in Austin. Stay with Pam. She is great, and her place was the absolute perfect first Airbnb experience for us. "
2366328,11762381,2014-04-14,7427674,Brooke,"Pam was an awesome host. She allowed us to park in the driveway and put our bikes on the patio. She wad so kind to leave us bottled water and snacks.  We met her husband Wallace and they ate both very nice. The room was cozy and the beefs are very comfortable. The location is a very sorry walk from south congress and we had lunch and dinner in the nearby restaurants and food trucks.  It is about a 10 minute bike ride to downtown and 1.5 miles to Rainey street. We took a petty can home one night and it was easy and cheap. Thanks, Pam for being flexible with our check in time and allowing us to leave our bags after check out. We loved staying with Pam and will definitely be back!"
2366328,12629764,2014-05-06,14230715,Sobia,"So this was my very first ""airbnb"" experience & I was a little reluctant to start with. However, I was not only put at ease but also was treated better than many 5 star hotels by Pam. Firstly, the location, it is incredible. Right off SoCo but a shady, wooded cul de sac which is quiet & peaceful away from the craziness!! Pam could not have been more helpful & accommodating. She had thought of everything, from a mini sewing kit in the bathroom to the fridge being full of water & a bottle of fizz for my girlfriend's birthday! The ""mini chalet"" has a separate entrance and a private bathroom. We apparently had neighbours next door but we did not hear nor see them throughout our stay. Overall, I would give Pam 10 stars if I could, we will go there again and again if we could!!!"
2366328,13088618,2014-05-19,14023342,Susan,"This was the perfect place to stay. Pam thought of everything-all the little details were there. I'd stayed at the Radisson on my last trip but it was really too pricey for me this time. I actually preferred staying at this property and Pam couldn't have been sweeter. The location was great-just a 2 block walk to the SoCo district for lots of restaurants and cute shops. We also walked to the S. Congress bridge to watch the bats fly at dusk. And it's just a 5 min. straight shot drive to the 6th St. music/bar scene. We got tickets online for Esther's Follies on 6th St.-great entertainment and fun-would recommend. They have a 8:00 and 10:00 show. Before hand we had a great meal two blocks away from show at 'Moonshine Grill'-best chicken fried steak and gravy.
Anyway-the Roof Terrance Loft was so comfortable. We had the twin beds room-very comfortable beds and soft linens. The room is decorated so cute-Pam has a knack for that. Nice bathroom stocked with everything you might need in case you forgot anything. Nice big fluffy towels too. Everything super clean. There's a little frig in the room with waters, granola bars and such-and there's a Keurig coffee maker for easy coffee in the a.m.  Oh, and the comfy little patio/terrance to sit out on and enjoy your coffee among the trees-just lovely. We never saw Pam or her husband once they greeted us but she's avail. by phone if you need anything. If I return to Austin I wouldn't stay anywhere else."
2366328,20067192,2014-09-22,21419985,Pat,"I loved this rental.  It was everything described and more!  I was visiting Austin for the first time with my daughter, who is a nurse and had an interview at Seton.  I had never used Airbnb and I am an extremely happy customer.  I loved the location in SOCO.  We could walk to all the restaurants, walking/running trails and downtown.  The unit was even nicer than the pictures.  Decorated to the nines!  Pam thought of everything.  (refrigerator had water, juice, power bars, etc)  Nice tv - if you are interested and wifi.  Extremely clean, comfortable, quiet and cozy.  I loved the deck to sit out and have our morning coffee.  "
2366328,20848361,2014-10-06,21298173,Kyle,"I stayed at Pam's roof terrance loft over ACL weekend and found it to be a great place to stay.  It was exactly as advertised and Pam was a great hostess.  The location was ideal for walking to South Congress yet was in a nice, quiet neighborhood."
2366328,22335736,2014-11-03,22926793,Jake,Pam was an excellent hostess and her accommodations were exactly as described.  The neighborhood is maybe 200 yards from the heart of Soco and yet still far enough to be a peaceful escape.  There is also a nice deck area from which to sip your morning coffee.
2366328,22558386,2014-11-09,22303049,Chris,"Pam is an amazing host.  This was my first airbnb experience and I truly couldn't have asked for anything better.  Such a nice and clean place and with complete privacy if that's what you'd like.  She even loaded up the fridge with some drinks and provided a Keurig machine.  Pam, thank you for being so thoughtful!"
2366328,22708524,2014-11-12,10889739,Jennifer,"My friend and I stayed in the twin bed loft space. 

ON PAM:
She is a *dream* host. Super responsive, friendly and helpful throughout the process. Charming, warm personality. Southern hospitality is happening here for sure: It was like staying with a family member. We happened to meet her husband as well, and he's a wonderful, good-humored man. 

You would be staying in a totally separate part of the house, so you'll only see Pam if you need to see her. In short: She will make you feel right at home, yet give you a real sense of privacy.

ON THE LOFT SPACE: Fantastic! The house has a ton of curb appeal in general. When you go up the outside stairs, there is a beautiful terrace right outside your room to enjoy ... with comfy chairs, tables, an umbrella, a fun lighted palm tree (helpful beacon to find your way home!) and lots of happy, perfectly kept plants all around. Perfect spot to get some fresh air and relax while sipping your morning coffee or after a long day of walking about.

The loft itself is spotlessly clean, adorably decorated, and very well appointed with OODLES of thoughtful touches and conveniences. The twin beds are very comfortable. The bathroom is up-to-date. There is a small walk-in closet, good storage, a desk/chair with a flat-screen television, a ceiling fan (impressively quiet, too!), a small fridge and Keurig coffee machine. There are 2 doors separating you from the queen loft space next door, and hearing/disturbing each other did not seem to be an issue at all.

ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The house is situated in the SoCo (South Congress) section of the city just steps away from shops, restaurants and nightlife, yet tucked away on a charming, safe street. Need to get downtown? Cab fare is inexpensive, there is a bus stop just down the block, and for those who are up for it...walking is not out of the question. Not to mention you could take a super-fun petty cab, too! Just a great spot for an Austin tourist.

FINAL THOUGHTS:
Pam is giving real value for your money. The Roof Terrace at Pam's is a true AirBNB treasure!!!!  If I come back I'm definitely staying with Pam, and I highly recommend her loft. 

"
2366328,26702185,2015-02-17,3198705,Katherine,"Pam and her beautiful loft were spot on! From the minute we arrived Pam made us feel at home. It was my birthday weekend as well as Valentine's Day and she added several thoughtful gestures which made things even more special. The patio is amazing, and we spent a lot of time relaxing and enjoying the weather. As far as location, it could not have been more ideal! We never had to use our car since we were a super short walk to all of the bars, restaurants and clubs on South Congress. We are already planning another trip back to Austin and now we know where we will stay! "
2366328,27783341,2015-03-11,24006843,Dania,"Pam is the best Airbnb hostess so far! She is very attentive. One day it was raining cats and dogs and when I was about to leave to eat, I saw an umbrella on the door knob. Amazing! She even had a mini flashlight so that I could use it when going to the room late. My absolute favorite part was that the bathroom was super clean! That alone is worth the money for me. The room comes with a mini fridge which she stocked with water, and many other drinks and even snack bars. The room smelled amazing and overall, this is the place I'd like to go back to when I need a place around that area. "
2366328,28831447,2015-03-30,29514716,Aubrey,Welcoming host.  Nice room and bath.  If you want to be near the South Congress Street scene this location could not be better yet it is nice and quiet.  Especially liked the outdoor seating options.   Would stay here again.
2366328,29691718,2015-04-11,21264757,Mike,"What a sweetheart! She truly cares about every guest! Keurig, check. Cable, check. Internet password with awesome radio station playing when you walk in, check. Funny tissue box in the bathroom, check. Wait till you see it. Epic."
2366328,29875822,2015-04-13,30371765,Michael,"Great location for the South Congress area in Austin. Clean rooms, clean bathroom, quiet neighborhood, walkable to great shopping, restaurants, and nightlife in Soco. Super-friendly and accommodating host!"
2366328,30294769,2015-04-20,28249236,Sarah,This is a wonderful place to stay! The setting is beautiful and walking distance to South Congress. Pam is a great host and very accommodating. We will definitely stay here again. 
2366328,30768260,2015-04-27,2470443,Jordan,"Pam was the perfect host. She was incredibly sweet, communicative, and thoughtful and that sentiment shown through in the room, as well. I loved how she welcomed me upon arrival, taking me on a brief but helpful tour of her beautiful property. EVERYTHING was thought of. She even had a spare toothbrush and meds for the forgetful/needy traveler. The room was very comfortable with luxurious touches. We found the air conditioning and scenic deck wonderful. Pam's maps and descriptions of nearby amenities were very helpful. The mini fridge was a godsend. Everything about this experience was perfect, and I couldn't be happier with my airbnb experience. Truly first class. "
2366328,31463590,2015-05-05,22055730,Allison,"Pam was such a warm host! She stayed up til midnight to greet us after a long flight. The room was clean, had bottles of water in the fridge and light jazz playing when we got in. The room is small but tidy. The bathroom is not en suite, which I didn't know before I booked, but that may have been my fault for not reading the description carefully enough. No one else shares the hall, so it still feels private. She was helpful with restaurants and getting around and even left us extra coffee since we were cranking through our Keurig machine. 

By far, though, the location is the best part about this place. It's SO close to SoCo and all the absolute best restaurants, food trucks, bars and shopping in the city, yet has a very quiet space to sleep and have drinks on the porch! We utilized the porch every morning and every evening. (As well as the OFF, which Pam provided!)

I highly recommend this, particularly for weekends with friends since there are twin beds."
2366328,31978367,2015-05-12,11577665,Venessa,"Great accommodations, great location, great host. It's a private room with it's own entrance and own bathroom. Pam has two Airbnb rooms, one with twin beds and one with a queen bed. They are separate and private, each with their own entrance and bathroom. There was an occupant next door but we never heard or saw him. The location is very serene and cozy. It feels off the beaten path, but is just a short walk to the middle of the action on South Congress. Pam had so many great touches...beverages in the mini fridge, a flashlight for us to use at night, umbrellas, reading materials on Austin, a Keurig, and comfy beds. Everything was very clean. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone else. "
2366328,33287271,2015-05-26,32425915,H David,"My friend and I came to Austin this past Memorial Day Weekend for bicycle riding and just hanging out. We were attracted to Pam's B&B by the beautiful, creative design and the great location--a few block off the cluster of restaurants and shops on South Congress and the incredible hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake. Pam was the perfect host. She opened her garage to us for storage of our bike and had the room stocked with virtually everything anyone could want for a weekend stay. She also shared with us recommendations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Austin's become quite the dining spot. Pam says she runs a bed and beverage--the fridge was stocked with many interesting drinks. Although our weekend was quite wet, we managed to spend some quality time in the early mornings sitting on the deck having coffee and admiring the incredibly beautiful neighborhood. If you've ever lived in Austin, every trip back makes you nostalgic for the place."
2366328,35120784,2015-06-15,20902200,David,"Everything about our stay with Pam was perfect. The apartment is ideally located, less than 5 minutes walk from South Congress. it is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and kitted out with numerous home comforts. The deck provides a great spot to hang out for an early evening beer. Pam was an excellent host: charming, helpful, generous and unobtrusive. We can't wait to return."
2366328,40058017,2015-07-27,39384060,Betsy,"Pam was absolutely wonderful.  She was very friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.  Everything was exactly as advertised, the room was beautiful and clean, the deck outside was perfect for morning coffee and it was in  a perfect location.  We loved the neighborhood.  Pam allowed us to bring my very old yellow lab, Sandy.  She is 10 years old and very quite.  The house is located at the end of the street and adjacent to it, is a nice little greenbelt with a walking trail, which turned out perfect for Sandy.  I would recommend Pam and her house anytime."
2366328,46252078,2015-09-08,16192791,Daniel,Great place to stay in. Perfect location. The atmosphere in the neighborhood couldn't be better. Pam included in the room many details that made the stay special. The room also provides the privacy needed.
2366328,48727392,2015-09-28,11700056,Gary,Pam was the ultimate host! Everything was better than described. She takes great pride in her home and rightly so! She even greeted us with two umbrellas in case it rained again that day. Quick easy 3 minute walk to South Congress and an enjoyable stroll over to downtown.
2366328,49763661,2015-10-06,34942773,Rudy,"This was the perfect place for ACL weekend. It's close enough to walk or bicycle and is near plenty of places to eat, shop and be entertained. And it's secluded enough to sleep quietly. 

Pam is a very accommodating hostess and is very kind and helpful. The space is clean and very well kept. And the patio is a perfect lounge space. If you have a chance to meet her dog, Ruby. She's just the sweetest thing. Thank you for a wonderful trip Pam. "
2366328,51712075,2015-10-24,41758203,Tony,"Perfect in every way.  Pam was gracious and attentive.  The rental was exactly as described.  The location was perfect, just a few blocks from Amy's, the Continental Club, and all that is South Congress.  Easy walking distance to Downtown Austin.  
At check in Pam had arranged some refreshments and had even provided some city guides.
All in all it was a wonderful trip.  "
2366328,53047576,2015-11-04,8854627,Sarah,"We had a wonderful stay at Pam's. The room was very comfortable and we loved the deck. Pam had everything we might need. Perfect location, no more than $6-8 Uber rides to most places downtown. Thanks Pam!"
8502789,49529695,2015-10-04,44883096,Julissa,"Teo and Armida did a wonderful job of welcoming us to Teo's place. Armida was waiting for us when we arrived and showed us around answering any questions that we had. Teo was quick to answer any texts and questions we had.  The apt looked better in person than in the pictures and the place was comfortable and accessible to ACL and downtown Austin. This was a wonderful experience and we look forward to using Teo's place again in future trips. 
"
8502789,50347695,2015-10-11,8017439,Kim,"Teo was a great host, he came to meet my party & gave us a quick run down of the condo. Very clean and convenient place - Less than 10 min ride to downtown, SoCo and anywhere you'd want to go! Also a great river within walking distance that you can paddle board/kayak at."
8783699,50604573,2015-10-12,45686244,Karla,"We loved this place, will definitely stay here again. Good location, everything is updated and modern. Lots of privacy. "
8783699,51493530,2015-10-20,32753993,Rob,"Everything went very smoothly staying at Jon's while we were in Austin. Very nice and clean place! Thanks again, Jon! "
8607188,49728899,2015-10-05,45322601,Agustin,Lissette was very accommodating and she provided a very clean and comfortable place for us to stay while visiting Austin. She was easy to communicate with and flexible when we needed it. Her apartment was exactly as described. Excellent location for anyone staying in Austin! Would definitely come back!
8607188,50543116,2015-10-12,8880687,Flora,Nice little apt. with everything you need! Perfect for our ACL weekend stay. Plenty of choices to eat nearby & all within walking distance. Pool area is very nice & relaxing. Lissette was very accommodating with check in/out times. Would book again in a heartbeat! 
416757,2575085,2012-10-10,3598102,Brett,Travelled here with my girlfriend and her parents. The house has great eclectic taste and was very warm and comfortable. Everyone had a great time! Laura helped us with so many good local ideas and left us a guide for vegetarian options and a copy of the Austin chronicle. Both beds were really comfy and a good sound system!
416757,3786851,2013-03-15,268147,Therkel,"We had a great stay, the house was cosy and clean with all the necessary facilities, and located in a pleasant and quiet area. Laura and her family were great hosts and we had a very good dialogue before our stay, Laura responded very quickly and helpfully to our request. I highly recommend Laura and the Bright Loft house.
Therkel"
416757,4471281,2013-05-07,5153037,Tim,"Had a fantastic time at Laura's house. My family came down from Chicago and we stayed here over Cinco De Mayo weekend. The location is wonderful with many great restaurants  and bars within walking distance or a quick cab ride. I had 7 guests come into town and the house was plenty big to hold all of us comfortably. Laura also provided us with many ideas for places to go in the area and they were great.

Highly recommend this vacation rental for a relaxing stay in a cool part of Austin, I live in Austin but this was a nice little in city vacation for me I felt like I was in a whole new city."
416757,4705214,2013-05-21,5652026,Roberta,"Laura was a wonderful host! Her house was warm and welcoming and she did everything possible to make us comfortable. There was a problem the first night of our stay with the a/c and she was kind enough to have the repair people there first thing the next day (she had offered to have them make an emergency call late that night, but we were all too tired). We had chosen her house because of its proximity to our daughter's house in Clarksville and it worked out perfectly. We love the neighborhood because it is quiet, yet within easy walking distance of bustling downtown Austin. We highly recommend the Bright Loft House to anyone who wants to feel part of the laid back Austin lifestyle and enjoy all the comforts of home! Thank you Laura!"
416757,8402971,2013-10-29,7679920,Tara,"My friends and I went down to Austin for a wedding and this house worked out wonderfully for us. It was big enough to hold all of us and we were so close to restaurants, coffee shops, and 6th street. Laura had everything clearly explained before hand and was also quick to respond to questions we had while we were there. The house was clean and comfortable and we had fun with the hula hoops in the backyard. :)"
416757,11044455,2014-03-18,1985165,Nate,Great house and hosts! Would definitely recommend to others and stay again! 
416757,28246035,2015-03-21,12320847,Giles,"Laura's house is delightful. Clean, tidy, spacious and close to the city centre. 

She was very throughout the whole process.

I would highly recommend staying here."
5538928,28143509,2015-03-18,15877404,Paul,"The perfect SXSW refuge.

Trey and Lacey have created an amazing little home for travelers that is quiet, contemporary and amazingly comfortable. They go above and beyond on amenities and conveniences. The cottage is close enough to downtown but far enough away to recuperate properly. 

They did it right. "
5538928,28769547,2015-03-29,15458485,Alexandra,"We stayed at the studio for a entire weekend and we couldn't be happier about our choice. 
The studio is beautiful & super clean. It is spacious, provides high quality furniture and lovely decoration. Every piece is well chosen and makes you feel like home away from home. 

The neighbourhood is quiet and safe, we have been waking up by the sound of singing birds and playing squirrels :-)  

The studio is about 5 min drive to downtown and perfectly located if you want to be close to the party but still in a quiet place for sleeping and relaxing. 

Lacey and Trey are such a nice couple that welcomed us, provided tips and recommendation and responded instantly to every request. 
The provide everything that you need for a good stay incl. bathroom towels, shower gel, bathroom equipment, coffee, tea, and many other things. 

We definitely recommend to stay with them and we hopefully return soon. "
5538928,31756246,2015-05-09,11618450,Ally,"Lacey and Trey were very nice and accommodating as we extended our stay in Austin last minute. The studio was cute, very clean and decorated nicely. They provided water, some snacks, and a book of their favorite foods and stuff to do in Austin which was awesome."
5538928,33130071,2015-05-25,5461554,Noy,"We enjoyed our stay at Lacey and Trey's tremendously! Southern hospitality at its best! They've thought of every comfort from the care package to the guestbook with local recommendations to even offering for us to stay in their home during the tornado watch. Leo their pup was a delight as were the neighbor's chickens. Their location was close enough for us to walk to coffee shops, brunch stops and food trucks along with mom and pop shops. Their cottage was clean, the Murphy bed was comfy, and the neighborhood was quiet. We couldn't ask for anything better. This place is the top of our list for a return trip!"
5538928,34599617,2015-06-09,1688811,Ulises-Toni,Lacey & Trey were amazing hosts. They thought of every detail down to their handwritten favorites in Austin. This refurbished pottery studio is perfect and we had such a wonderful time. We would highly recommend staying at this location on your next visit to Austin. We hope to visit again soon!
5538928,35027633,2015-06-14,26642611,Kerri,"Lacey and Trey were very nice and made us feel very welcome.  Their sweet cottage was perfect for our weekend in Austin.  It had everything we needed.  Also, it was in a very quiet area.  Just a few minutes from downtown, it was close to everything.  Will definitely stay there again!"
5538928,37368650,2015-07-06,35999164,Sonu,"Lacey and Trey made us feel so welcome and the space itself is so inviting. They were easy to communicate with and warm and friendly.

The studio is wide and open, with plenty of room to lounge a bit after a hot day. They thoughtfully left us recommendations about what to do in Austin, along with cold water, granola bars, candy, beer, coffee, and other items. We hit several of the places they recommended and loved them all. The studio is conveniently located and easy to get to downtown.  We really enjoyed our experience there and would return again, not to mention recommend to our friends! 

Thank you Lacey and Trey."
5538928,39196497,2015-07-21,24595424,Leah,"Lacey and Trey have a wonderful backyard studio in an easily accessible location.  The studio is very well kept being extremely clean and wonderfully decorated.  I really appreciated the unexpected extras, e.g. bottled water. The neighborhood is very nice and peaceful.  Overall, this was a perfect location for my weekend getaway.  I will definitely recommend Lacey and Trey's studio to others, and I hope to visit again. Thank you Lacey and Trey for being such wonderful hosts!"
5538928,45112866,2015-08-31,10887990,Leandria,"We loved this place! It was our first experience with airbnb and I'm so happy it was with Trey and Lacey! Great couple, they had perfect suggestions for food and entertainment and the studio is beautiful and homey. You'll seriously want for nothing in this place. "
5538928,46169743,2015-09-08,40643235,J.G.,"I stayed at the backyard Studio, of Lacy and Trey, for 5 days in early Sept. 2015. For me it was better than advertised. The lodging was clean, bright and comfortable. I enjoyed the subtle decorative touches. It was fun. Every inquiry about the area can be answered, if not by the hosts, by the book that they prepared or by the numerous maps and periodicals provided.
I was visiting family and it was a wonderful thing that it was in the same serene neighborhood. Felt like home.
Leo the dog is a happy fellow and is very un-intimidating should you be concerned. Horace the tortoise provided me with someone my own age to talk with. He resides in a pen in the yard.
An added bonus is a host, Trey, who roasts his own coffee and is enthusiastic in sharing 
his crafted product with those who enjoy the same.
Nice to have been able to enjoy the hospitality offered by Lacy and Trey, in their clean, comfortable and convenient backyard studio.
I'll be back."
5538928,46739953,2015-09-13,25949575,Tyler,"The studio is better than described and the pictures don't do it justice.  Big, very clean, lots of windows.  Kitchen is stocked with snacks, drinks, and great coffee!

There's a friendly dog named Leo who hangs out in the backyard, but also don't miss Horace the Tortoise."
5538928,47702563,2015-09-21,25516550,Lauren,"Trey was an excellent host. He was there upon arrival, showing us everything we needed to know for the studio, as well as offering recommendations for restaurants. The studio was just as described, and perfect for our needs. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when visiting Austin."
5538928,48708464,2015-09-28,40156475,Steven,"We loved our stay at the Backyard Studio! Lacey and Trey were excellent hosts. They were very friendly and accommodating with our check in/out times. The studio was very private and comfortable. They provided complimentary treats and a personalized ""Austin Guide"" of their favorite local restaurants and coffee shops (and provided some other suggestions which did not disappoint!)  We loved how conveniently located it was and easy to get to downtown. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone going to Austin and would definitely stay here again -Thanks Lacey and Trey!"

We absolutely loved our stay with Lacey and Trey! The studio was beautiful and very accommodating, Leo the Pup and Horace the Tortoise were fun to play with, and Lacey and Trey provided great recommendations for our stay.  They were so friendly and welcoming; we will definitely be checking their listing first next time we are in town!  Thank you both again for hosting us, we couldn't have had a better experience!!!"
5538928,51027205,2015-10-17,2632388,Michael,"Lacey and Trey have created a homey studio in their backyard that's perfect for any Austin getaway. My wife and I stayed in this beautiful, well designed space during our recent week-long vacation. The Murphy bed was very comfortable and the AC worked nicely, which was great because it turned out to be a little hotter than the originally forecast. We did not see much of Lacy and Trey but their hospitality was felt both before and during our stay. They were very easy to work with and provided helpful suggestions for things to do in and around Austin. (The hand written guidebook is not something to miss!) Overall we felt very comfortable and safe throughout our stay. The super fast internet wasn't too shabby either!  It's very easy to find their place and the street parking is nice. I can't say how easy public transit would be but their location seems more ideal for the automobile-equipped. We would recommend this Airbnb to anyone who needs a comfy place to stay in Austin."
3603024,20859538,2014-10-06,5784316,Ernest,Friendly host.  Most accomodating for last minute booking.  Southwest Austin location walking distance to Central Market and Westgate movie theatre. 10 minute drive to downtown/Town Lake/Barton Springs/Zilker Park.
3603024,21243473,2014-10-13,16279071,Rhia,Host was very sweet and accommodating. I really want to emphasize that! Location is great. A quick freeway hop to downtown...you can walk to Central Market which has a great cafe. If I had to rate the insides of this house though it would have to be 1.5-2.0 stars. Everything is there...but the furniture is a bit uncomfortable...I am not sure you would spend lots of time inside. If you just need a place to rest and shower that's in a central location then this works. 
3603024,21998573,2014-10-27,16307771,Michaela,"Good location with covered parking in a quiet area. Appreciated the little touches like snacks, tea, extra toiletries, and our welcome note! As the other review states, the two back rooms seem to be in transition or a little unfinished. However, this did not detract from our stay at all. We also really enjoyed hanging out on the patio!"
3603024,23733127,2014-12-08,23422184,Ajay,Kristine was very easy to work with and quick to answer all questions.  Checking-in was a breeze and everything was in good order in the house.  The house is in a very convenient location.
3603024,24957991,2015-01-04,1403738,Robin,"Nice duplex, met our needs during our stay in Austin. We had a 5 year old and a senior. All ground level and no carpets was easy for the senior to get around in walker.  Host made us feel welcome and responded to anything that came up.  "
3603024,25388012,2015-01-14,20091650,Mark,"Kristine's place worked well for us. It's a pretty basic place, but there's so many things to do in Austin, that it works. Nice and convenient area with quick access to some great restaurants, downtown, parks, etc. Kristine was a great host and very accommodating! "
3603024,26649295,2015-02-16,20127825,Babul,I needed a place for myself and some coworkers to stay while we were in Austin working. This place was in a great location and cozy!! We were comfy and enjoyed the patio and the kitchen. Kristine was very accommodating and responsive. Highly recommended!!
3603024,27031036,2015-02-23,18807434,Ryan,"Kristine's place was perfect! She left us a message on the wall and plenty of snacks and drinks in the fridge to make us feel at home. Everything was very clean, we had plenty of towels, and everything else we needed. The house was very close to the 290/71 highway so it was very easy to get to. Would stay again!"
3603024,27420756,2015-03-03,208600,Laura,It was just what we needed. The description was accurate. Kristine was responsive via text and friendly.
3603024,27631771,2015-03-08,19688722,Jason,Kristin was a wonderful host. The house was clean and she had left plenty of snacks and drinks for us. All of the guests leave gifts for the next guest which we really enjoyed. The neighborhood was pleasant and close to everything. Kristin was our first experience with B@B and we will never stay in a hotel again.
3603024,27707121,2015-03-09,28886041,Benigno,Two of my friends and I stayed here and really enjoyed the experience. Everything Kristi has listed is accurate.  The place was clean and Kristine provided plenty of towels. Thank you Kristine.
3603024,27752723,2015-03-10,28886041,Benigno,We found the place as described and couldn't have been happier. There were plenty of towels and other misc amenities! 
3603024,28070906,2015-03-17,8941944,Davit,"Kristine's place was great. We did not have a chance to meet Kristine, but she made sure we had everything we needed!"
3603024,28462472,2015-03-24,4385468,Maya,"My band stayed here for a week for SXSW. We seriously couldn't have had a better location-- the bus made our trips in and out of downtown so easy! There is even a nearby ""night owl"" bus! We walked to Central Market and local taco and coffee shops as well. The home is great. Simple yet stocked with necessities. We were delighted when Kristine stopped by with fresh towels mid-way thru our stay. Many thanks to Kristine for offering an affordable and convenient landing pad for us! We love Austin! We highly recommend and would love to return! "
3603024,28836563,2015-03-30,2080591,Xuan,"She left the lights on for us as we were coming in late Friday...and was very responsive to our questions via email! We loved our location as it was within walking distance to a grocery mart, coffee shop... we had the cuban (email hidden) Oak Market. The place is stocked with your simple necessities, clean and very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay so much and would recommend it to our friends who comes by. Thank you Kristine!! "
3603024,29011568,2015-04-02,15695470,Karen,"Kristine had great response time and although we never met, she was very friendly in her communication and had a great deal of helpful information in the unit for first time visitors to the area. The neighborhood was safe and conveniently located."
3603024,29153225,2015-04-04,7609460,Jonathan,We made a pit stop driving through Austin to Seattle from South Florida and needed a place to crash for the night. Luckily even though we came in late our host made arrangements for us!
3603024,29861490,2015-04-13,29872678,Jeritt,"Everything was exactly as described. 
Check-in and check-out were very easy. "
3603024,30316440,2015-04-20,10923700,Gwen,"My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Key-to-Austin. We were warmly welcomed with gifts from precious guests, a welcome note, and a very clean and cozy place to stay! Kristine was very easy to contact and very friendly, though we never met in person. It was a perfect place to stay for the five of us - it wasn't too crowded, it was only a 10
minute drive to downtown, and it was very comfortable. I would recommend Kristine as a host and her place as your next Austin getaway! "
3603024,30748163,2015-04-26,22649713,Trista (JJ),"Kristine's place is quintessential south austin--non pretentious, comfortable and conveniently located close to some of my favorite spots (including Central Market).  Kristine had lots of nice extras that you might find in a hotel like boxed soap in the shower and a packaged sponge for doing dishes, bottled water in the fridge, etc. The place was very clean, which is important to me.  Really nice hot shower (excellent shower head), great water pressure.  Thank-you, Kristine!"
3603024,31017898,2015-04-30,31401927,Chad,Very pleasant stay.  Kristine made me feel welcome and she was very accomodating on all the arrangements.  Very clean and comfortable quarters.  I would stay here again.
3603024,31717734,2015-05-09,30797377,Brendan,Great place. Clean. Quiet neighborhood not too far from downtown. I would stay again. 
3603024,31898620,2015-05-11,16670831,Kimberly,"We had a great stay at Key-to-Austin! Kristine is a fast and friendly communicator. The house is small but well laid-out and was just perfect for our family! Everything was clean and nice and it was such an inviting space. I loved the chalkboard butterfly welcoming us, as well as the little trinkets left by previous guests. This was our first Air BnB experience and certainly won't be our last! I highly recommend Key-to-Austin!"
3603024,32135568,2015-05-14,11346485,Rick,We rented Kristine's house for 3 nights and it was great! Super affordable for Austin and in a convenient location. She even brought extra clean towels half way through the stay! I would recommend it for sure.
3603024,32439822,2015-05-17,20818007,Charlene,"I loved the ""pass it forward"" idea :)
I wish I'd had time to stop for an Austin-y something or other.  All of the little touches were so perfect.  From the bubbly for my morning mimosa to the fact that you happened to have my FAVORITE shampoo, I was in 7th Heaven.  I can't wait to come back for more than just a night."
3603024,32551747,2015-05-19,29730721,Mercedes,"Key to Austin was an excellent first airbnb experience! Kristine was a great host, we had no issues getting in the house, which was super cute and slept 5 comfortably. Would stay here again and recommend for sure! "
3603024,33375974,2015-05-27,15856075,Toby,"Kristine was a great host! Everything we needed was provided for us as soon as we got there. While we were in Austin, there was a Tornado Warning, and Kristine checked in with us the next day to see if we were alright! She didn't need to, but my group really appreciated it. If you're planning to explore Austin, and need somewhere simple and nice to stay, Kristine definitely follows through with this."
3603024,33415749,2015-05-27,22774552,Christine,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3603024,33757190,2015-05-31,14472088,Vladimir,"Kristine was very hospitable -- even without being there when I came in, she managed to make me feel like I am home.  The house was very nice, good location (10 minutes from downtown), very clean, and all supplies were there, even coffee and creamer!"
3603024,34490024,2015-06-08,26562144,Will,Kristine was a great host. She was prompt to reply to emails with any questions we had prior and during our stay. The house is located less than a minute from the freeway entrance. Lots of great food around the area as well. We would come back and stay here again.
3603024,34581763,2015-06-09,25919543,Raphael,"My friends and I were attending a wedding in near by Blanco, TX and opted to stay a night at Key to Austin due to its location. It's a good space with enough room for the four of us. It's located close to great food and drink spots on Lamar. 

We really enjoyed the leave it forward idea. Great idea to make the space unique.

Great value for a fun space."
3603024,35490597,2015-06-19,6691532,Anil,"Kristine was an attentive host & before our reaching Austin, was in contact with us. She helped us in getting the check-in, in the most efficient manner. Once at her place, we found that it was a good working house with all the requisite items at their proper place. This whole set-up made us feel so much at home!

The lay-out of the house is superb, and I say that even more because we were 5 people, who felt so comfortable there. Adequate parking is a big plus for this house. Its well appointed and just about 15 minutes away from downtown, where I had my conference @ The Austin Convention Centre."
3603024,37483992,2015-07-07,34597212,Barbra,"Never met Host..
There were several issues that made our stay 
unpleasant.. as well as Condo being situated on busy road. Won't recommend or return,
Not Worth Money Spent.. "
3603024,37795488,2015-07-10,33315988,Erica,"We visited Austin for a Martial Arts tournament that was held at the Convention Center. It was very close, and suited our needs well.
Kristine was really nice, and let us check in early since we flew all night. Her place was clean, and we felt very safe while staying there. We had a great time."
3603024,39300397,2015-07-22,35457163,Jason,"Kristine did a great job to of keeping us informed from beginning to end.  Not a problem checking in, and checking out was simple."
3603024,40873092,2015-08-02,22761384,Victoria,"Our 1 night stay in atx was brief so we never got to meet Kristine, however she was very quick to respond. Place was great. Just like the pictures. It is situated on a busy road so if you have pets prone to exploring, it's something to think about And the unit does not have direct access to the backyard/dog run. Easy check in and check out. Overall good experience! "
3603024,43337726,2015-08-18,41536253,Randy,"It was great!  We needed a place for a quick getaway and this was perfect.  Very unique, very Austin and right near Central Market (which was a bonus)!  Dug it!"
3603024,46150735,2015-09-08,5554906,Mikhail,"The property is next to the highway, but is very quiet and nice. The location was very proximal to everything we needed, and we spend no more than $10 on any Uber ride from this location. We stayed here with another couple, and the accommodations are great for those looking for a place to use as home base, and sleep at at night. Since that's what we were looking for it was perfect. The host and I communicated only via text/email, and we never met in person, but the experience was seamless so it wasn't an issue at all.  My only issue, and it doesn't warrant a knock on the hosts rating, was the bed...it's not the best, but that's my only issue..everything else was great... Oh and the host was great about adjusting/extending or check out time by several hours, which is always a nice thing. "
3603024,47085770,2015-09-15,42438262,Craig,"The place was great.  It wasn't the Taj Mahal, but it clean and very comfortable.  It has some basic kitchen equipment; pots, pans, glasses, plates, coffee maker, a gas range and oven, refrigerator.

The location is great.  It was fairly close to everything we wanted to do.  The neighborhood is quiet, despite being 2 blocks from the highway.  I would stay here again."
3603024,48661673,2015-09-27,22328719,Bryce,"We went to Austin on a whim to pick up a Collings guitar and booked Kristine's place last minute.  She was super responsive and made it easy and the place was just what we needed for a quick stop in.  Highly recommended, quick Uber ride from anywhere worth going."
3603024,48685650,2015-09-28,35239446,Cynthia,"Kristine allowed us to check in early and gave us the code for the keyless entry. The place was roomy, clean and comfortable. Previous guests had left gifts and comments in the guest book. The location was convenient (Uber was never more than five minutes away.)"
3603024,49761183,2015-10-06,32792793,Ryan,"We stayed at Kristine's place for the first weekend of Austin City Limits. The location is very close to several bus stops where you can board a bus to anywhere in Austin. Key to Austin was clean, safe, and quiet. The beds were comfy, everything worked in the house. Perfect place to stay while you visit the wonderful city of Austin."
3603024,50616437,2015-10-13,25769448,Pako,"We visited Austin for for the weekend for the ACL Festival. Kristine have a really nice house, it's very close to everything. We went on Uber to different locations and it was never more than 10 min. The house is clean and comfortable, when we tried to contact her with some doubts she responded very quickly. I highly recommend this place. If we go to the ACL next year we definitely going to try to stay here again"
3603024,52385093,2015-10-28,19008984,Pablo,Pretty fantastic! The house was nice and clean and I felt welcome even if no one was there. The Chromecast was a nice touch for sure. Thanks!
3731261,20784562,2014-10-05,15427561,Lydia,"My partner and I stayed at Julie's for the ACL weekend.  Julie was a great host and always replied quickly to any queries we had, before and during our stay.  The flat itself was clean and cosy and very peaceful whilst still being walking distance to the festival.  Would definitely recommend. "
3731261,21158868,2014-10-12,21768940,Lauren,"Julie's place was perfect for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. We were in walking distance of the park and had a beautiful hiking trail that led us straight to the heart of the festival. The apartment itself was warm, inviting, and clean. It has a beautiful deck and Julie's bed is extremely comfortable. Julie was very thoughtful and left us notes for the weekend as well as a bottle of wine (which was very much appreciated). Overall, it was an awesome experience. "
3731261,26287296,2015-02-08,5894434,Tim,"I'm so glad I stayed here! I'm an outdoorsy person and seriously was so happen that this place was like 1 mile away from Barton springs and zilker park. It was quiet, parking was easy and very comfortable. I'll probably get it again when I go back.  "
3731261,26568064,2015-02-15,567144,Alexis,"Julie did an excellent job of making us feel welcome. She provided a nice letter detailing all of the intricacies of the apartment, as well as directions for where we should put our dishes, etc. Her apartment was spotless and very welcoming! We had an excellent time and only wished we could have stayed longer than the one night. Hope to visit this wonderful apartment again soon. It was also in a great location just south of downtown in Barton Springs area."
3731261,28092197,2015-03-17,987423,Alex,"What a wonderful location.  Perfect to be able to travel quickly in to downtown to experience all the fun of the city centre and then have a very easy uber journey 5-10 minutes back to the peace of Julie's place, which is located very close to a beautiful trial and creek.  Which we walked, ran along and sat by, it was such a welcome break from the busy centre.  Thank you so much Julie for leaving your place so nicely for us.  We loved your balcony too where we could also relax, read our books and drink your great coffee.  Thank you for all your help when we had questions too.  The taxi situation was not great, I think this is typical of Austin, not this location though, no company wanted my early morning booking to the airport during SXSW and it was too early to risk uber.  Airbnb provided amazing customer service and booked and paid for a car for me.  My husband used uber no problems early morning the next morning to the airport.  We are total uber converts.  It was great to have wifi access.  There was no television, but it was fine, when we wanted to watch a movie we took an uber 5 minutes to the Barton Creek mall with amazing shopping and a great movie theatre.  We even got an hour or so by the lovely pool.  A really great weekend!!"
3731261,28215301,2015-03-20,27995170,Eron,"Julie went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. She even provided some beer, wine, coffee and snacks. It was all great and totally unexpected, but very much appreciated! The apartment was clean and conveniently located. We came in for SXSW. Julie's apartment is about 5 miles from downtown - close enough to only cost $11 for a Lyft, but far enough to have some peace and tranquility. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anyone considering a trip to the Austin area. "
3731261,41898035,2015-08-09,855942,Blanca,"Julie was an amazing host! Made us feel very welcome, even left beer and snacks in the fridge for us! The place was just as described, and had a very cozy feel to it. It was a very short uber ride to 6th street (around 5 min), which is where we went for my birthday. Thanks for everything Julie! If we ever visit Austin again we would love staying here again!"
3731261,44055843,2015-08-23,23422184,Ajay,Julie was very welcoming and accommodating.  We felt very welcome  and comfortable in her home and it was a great location for our weekend in Austin.  Thanks Julie! 
3731261,47879862,2015-09-21,28354328,Teddy,"Julie was the best host! Her place was very clean and in an excellent location! Plus she left us snacks, which were greatly appreciated. Would definitely recommend her place "
3731261,49465227,2015-10-04,19735112,Lilly,"We had a wonderful stay at Julie's place. She was extremely accommodating, offering us a later check out based on our flight time. She was very responsive and communicative the entire time we were in Austin. She even left us snacks, which was very much appreciated and thoughtful of her. Overall, I would highly recommend!  "
3731261,50322844,2015-10-11,42770110,Stacy,Julie was always available to answer my questions. She let me check in and check out according to my travel plans. She also left tons of snacks for us to enjoy!

644895,41248772,2015-08-05,38501224,Mary,We moved from California to Austin and stayed at Brandon's house till our moving truck arrived. After a long drive across the country it was such a wonderful house to arrive at. We felt very welcomed and comfortable. Brandon provided a book of book of everything you need to know about Austin. I would highly recommend this house to visitors. 
644895,42044729,2015-08-10,38287246,John,This house was perfect.  Exactly how it looks - very comfortable and nice.  Brandon had a binder with TONS of stuff to do in the area.  Uber rides averaged $12.25 to get to 6th street.  VERY happy with our stay.  Highly recommend staying here and then taking a cab to the places you want to go.  Neighborhood is nice and very safe.  Backyard is perfect for hanging out as well.
644895,51397334,2015-10-19,45526044,Jason,We really enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous townhome. The location was perfect and I would definitely choose to stay here again.

7725355,50102745,2015-10-09,953517,Melissa,Great location and apartment was very comfortable. It's walkable to many popular locations in Austin. There is a good gym in the complex and a cool coffee and beer place across the street. The east part of Austin is really cool and interesting so definitely recommend.

7725355,51857533,2015-10-24,46978678,Colin,The host met me at the curb and introduced me to his friends. It was very welcoming. The condo was very modern and clean. It is located in the heart of one of the best Austin neighborhoods and it was very easy to get to great bars and restaurants.
8329024,52002981,2015-10-25,5733136,Skyla,The place is a great location and perfect for a simple weekend! Cicilie was very accommodating and flexible with our crazy schedule!

The place looks completely remodeled, too, so the faucets and counters are really nice."
6539818,37122259,2015-07-04,37270473,Alex,"When we entered the apartment, we were floored by the home decor and the cleanliness of the place.  Not only that it had the basicc necessities provided for us: towels, utensils, cups, plates, wine opener, shampoo, conditioner, soap and etc.  Netflix was also provided for us and internet.  I would definitely recommend this place to other people. "
6539818,37782340,2015-07-10,36428550,Kevin,Instructions were easy to follow and everything was exactly where I expected them to be. The neighborhood was quiet and a short walk from a number of restaurants and shops. The actual apartment was charming and larger than I had expected. I  would definitely stay here again on future trips.
6539818,38460324,2015-07-15,19424651,Tim,Julia's apartment was in a perfect location for getting around Austin and had absolutely everything we needed for our stay. On our second night the aircon stopped working but Julia sorted it out quickly and easily. Would definitely recommend dealing with her! 
6539818,38797966,2015-07-18,32777855,Tobias,We truly had a lovely stay at Julia's! The apartment was perfectly located and Julia was a terrific host. She welcomed us with open arms and ensured that we had anything we needed. I would recommend this to everyone travelling to Austin! 
6539818,43824564,2015-08-22,68968,Cynthia,Julia's lovely apartment had everything we could ask for on our short stay in Austin! The place was decorated very chic and spacious for two people and in a gray neighborhood. She was also very responsive to our questions. I would highly recommend staying at her place! 
6539818,45158931,2015-08-31,4323092,Hannah,"I stayed here last weekend with two girl friends, the apartment was delightful and a perfect size for the three of us... there is even a whole dressing area, and make-up station so no arguments over who was hogging the mirror. Julia was a great host and I would definitely recommend this place for a weekend stay :) "
6539818,45965138,2015-09-07,152944,Stephanie,"The condo was as described - we settled in with ease, each with our own cozy bed to sleep in, coffee maker to rise us in the morning, and a great amount of closet space for our various weekend outfits. We had fluffy towels, many pillows and blankets, and the AC was always on.  Julia was kind enough to let us check in early and check out late, since there was no one staying on either end.  We lucked out, since the extra time was invaluable.  My only complaint is, once check-out was complete, Julia became unresponsive to my messages regarding the security deposit.  It feels frustrating to be ignored, and have communication stop. I would appreciate a response to my questions. That is my only criticism.  "
6539818,47059412,2015-09-15,36791871,Justin,Julia contacted us just before we arrived and was in touch anytime we needed. The place was just as described and worked perfectly for us. We were within walking distance to UT and short cab ride from downtown
6539818,47663289,2015-09-21,1413845,Bernard,"The studio was all that was promised.  Air conditioning worked well, getting in and out was easy, and Julia was responsive to all questions.  The studio is right near campus, near food and supplies, and within relatively easy walking distance of downtown.  The foldout couch was also quite comfortable (as those things go).  Would recommend to anyone staying in Austin."
6539818,49977108,2015-10-08,15872015,Michelle,Julia was a great host. The apartment is very comfortable and cute. She provided information on how to get around and places to go near the apartment.  The neighborhood is walking distance to UT and all of the shops that surround the campus.  Thanks Julia!
6539818,50435424,2015-10-12,36800632,Lucia,"Great experience, and Julia was very helpful! "
6539818,51281758,2015-10-19,760904,Sarah,Julia's apartment was great and very clean. The apartment was walking distance to Univ of Texas and also a short walk to the State Capitol. We took Uber a couple times and it was very reasonable. I would recommend staying here!

3363810,15478330,2014-07-09,14774019,Stacey,"Jess is awesome. She even got me a blow dryer for my giant fro. Cute, clean place.  Great host. Great vibe. "
3363810,15661656,2014-07-13,1935657,Maclean,"I was able to book this apartment the day before for a last-minute, one-night only trip to Austin. I had emailed the host earlier in the day, letting her know we wouldn't arrive until after 10 pm. She graciously had no issue with our late check in, and sent very useful detailed instructions about how to get in the apartment, the wifi password, etc. We didn't arrive until after midnight, but found the place with no trouble. The host's roommate was up and on the front porch of the main house, and we exchanged very pleasant small talk, and she told us to let her know if we needed anything. The apartment itself was wonderful! Very clean with all the amenities you could need and a little private yard in the back. The host was even sweet enough to leave us a bottle of wine, which was incredibly thoughtful. The memory foam mattress was great, and we both slept well. My one regret is that we only stayed one night, and I will definitely book this apartment the next time I am in Austin. Overall this was a fantastic AirBnB experience!"
3363810,15736382,2014-07-14,171902,Nicholas,"Great, stress-free experience in Austin.  The carriage house was clean, well maintained, and the host was very friendly. Her backyard is immaculate and I can definitely see lounging out there on a longer stay.

The only thing that could have been improved was the shower situation: The water wasn't particularly hot.  Overall, for the money, it was a great Airbnb stay."
3363810,15854661,2014-07-16,1833968,Kace,"Couldn't have worked out any better!

Jess was very nice and went out of her way to offer suggestions and advice about in and around Austin. The cottage itself is very private, located behind a main residence, fully-furnished and super-cozy! All the proper amenities: washer/dryer, furnished kitchen, WiFi, cold AC, hot water... and so on. Plus a garden you can steal tomatoes from! (Don't tell Jess we did!)

What I really dug was the neighborhood. I had never stayed on that side of town when visiting Austin, and it sure is fly. Very unique character, lots of great restaurants and cool local bars!

Great price when I stayed (July); we'll definitely be back! Tell Jess we said hello!"
3363810,16159501,2014-07-22,6017809,Robert,"This is hands down one of the best airbnbs I've ever stayed at. You want to stay here. Great location in Austin. Jess is an amazing responsive host. Easy check in/ checkout. You can't beat the washer and dryer, full kitchen and a nice private backyard for your dogs to run. If you get the chance I highly recommend renting here. 1000 times better than a hotel. "
3363810,16237995,2014-07-23,1516409,Dan,"This stay was fantastic! Jess has a clean, modern, beautiful space. Communication prior to my arrival was consistent, quick and helpful. Jess worked to let me get into the space early and offered suggestions of places in the area to hang while I waited. She provided ideas for things to do in Austin and could not have been friendlier. 

The only critique I can offer is that the shower head is relatively low. If you're tall like I am, your knees will get a good workout in the shower. By no means is this a reason not to stay in this beautiful space, but it's worth being aware of in advance.

Thanks, Jess, for your hospitality!"
3363810,16684688,2014-07-31,656655,Shaeri,We truly enjoyed our stay at Jess's Urban Cottage East. Jess has impeccable taste as you can see from the pictures. We had our own little apartment for an amazing price. The space was comfortable and elegant. We even had our own beautifully landscaped private backyard. The neighborhood was green with lots of trees and flowers. Jess has a great place for a great price. We would definitely come back.
3363810,16811773,2014-08-02,436656,Bethany,"Jess was so on top of things. She was texting me back and forth a lot whenever I had a question. When we pulled into the neighborhood my husband said, ""great, what did you get us in to."" But as soon as he walked into the mini house he was very impressed. It was the perfect place for he and I to relax (nice, cold AC) while our 10 month old crawled all over the wood/tile floors. It was great!! 
Location: it was maybe 5 minutes from downtown Austin during the weekday. My favorite coffee shop was: Seventh Flag Coffee. Best Burger: Top Notch! HEB was right down the road for meals, necessities, etc. 
Have a blast and know that you'll be totally taken care of. If you stay here, you'll have a peaceful place to call home for a couple of days."
3363810,16961058,2014-08-04,19229867,Shelly,A great place to stay. Close to downtown and very private! Very much enjoyed the spacious cottage and private garden.
3363810,17921066,2014-08-18,4377078,Kristin,"Jess's cottage is amazing. It's a standalone house with its own kitchen, bathroom, and washer-dryer. It was super clean, with beautiful minimalist decor. Jess left us fresh towels and travel-sized bath products, a thoughtful gesture. Street parking is plentiful. Communication was excellent. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Highly recommended! "
3363810,18734405,2014-08-31,19075383,Devin,Great spot. Quiet neighborhood. Nice house with all amenities. No complaints! 
3363810,18903357,2014-09-02,4331884,Jamee,"We were a little unsure about the neighborhood at first, but we didn't have any problems during our stay. The location was perfect. We were able to hop on our bikes and ride down to a venue to meet up with some friends in about 10 minutes. The cottage was clean and well kept. The bed was really comfortable and coffee from the french press on our last day was the cherry on top of our stay. Great experience overall."
3363810,19329693,2014-09-10,19600353,Morgan,Jess's home was such an enjoyable experience! The house was clean and decorated really cute. Jess was always fast to respond to any of my questions prior to staying at the house. The neighborhood was quiet and the backyard that was connected to the cottage was very peaceful to hang out in. I would definitely recommend this place to friends while staying in Austin and would love to stay again!
3363810,21028566,2014-10-10,17931200,Tamara,"This place was amazing!!  Jess made us feel right at home and anything we needed was there upon our arrival.  The place is adorably decorated, with a great bed.  I spent almost an entire month in the house and the neighborhood is SUPER quiet.  It's close to grocery stores, restaurants, downtown; everything is at your fingertips!  I would stay here again in a heart beat!  My doggies loved the back yard and played for hours while I lounged in the hammock.  GREAT PLACE; GREAT LOCATION!"
3363810,21156128,2014-10-12,6079625,Carly,"Jess's place was wonderful! It is so cute, comfortable, spacious and clean. We were so impressed by the size and the adorable private back yard! It almost felt like a private cabin in the woods. We would definitely stay here again, hands down! :)"
3363810,22016379,2014-10-28,7184979,Stephanie,Jess' cottage was a great find. It was located close to downtown and it was a quick and easy drive to get everywhere we needed. It was a great home while we were in Austin. I would definitely stay here again!
3363810,22581293,2014-11-10,20786860,Marian,"Jess's lovely casita was the perfect place for us to stay on our first trip to Austin. It was exactly as described, only better. The home was clean, quiet, private, and well appointed. The bedding was appropriately luxurious: soft sheets and lots of pillows topped with a light, yet warm duvet.

Jess provided toiletries, plenty of fresh towels, and thorough instructions as to how to access the property and how to leave it upon departure. There's even a washer and dryer available for guests to use. 

The floor plan works nicely as the kitchen and bedroom are separated by a cozy living area, perfect for relaxing. It was so nice to have a space other than the bedroom to unwind after our adventures downtown. You don't get that in a hotel room and it enhanced our visit tremendously. Another thing you don't get in most hotels is a full kitchen. Jess's kitchen was perfect for us. We walked to the local market to get breakfast items and coffee. Our mornings were, therefore, leisurely and relaxing. Being able to pad around in our pajamas, enjoying breakfast and planning our day, set the relaxed tone of our visit.

The neighborhood is just a few miles from town, so while easily accessible, it provides a respite from the active music/food/nightlife scene of Austin. We Ubered around easily and found everyone we came in contact with to be friendly and welcoming.  It's a residential area; not at all fancy, but quiet and safe. We strolled at night without concern, and would return to this property without hesitation.

We didn't have the opportunity to meet Jess, yet we feel as though we got to know her a bit just by staying in her warm, welcoming home. She's knows just what guests need to make their stay a pleasant one, and her attention to detail made a pleasant stay near-perfect. Many thanks to our fabulous host!"
3363810,22993779,2014-11-19,23391767,Philip,"This cottage was perfect for our long weekend in Austin!  The location is fantastic; quiet and secure, but close to the restaurants and bars of East Austin.  The bed is a very nice memory foam mattress with new bedding, shower pressure was good, and the place has two AC/heater units (good thing, because it was very cold out) that kept the place very comfortable.  Getting in and out was very easy, and Jess was extremely communicative and welcoming.  My wife and I can't recommend the cottage strongly enough!"
3363810,23124035,2014-11-23,23590137,Lisa,"The bungalow was beyond my expectations. Everything was perfect. It was well located to the east side and downtown areas too!
Jess has a great set up and is an amazing host- I highly recommend her place. I let her know in advance that I was planning to propose that weekend and she took really good care of us. The bungalow was decorated with my fiancés favorite flowers. It was such a nice touch! I'm so glad we chose her place- it has good vibes!"
3363810,23906930,2014-12-14,9160518,Andréa,"Jess foi uma ótima anfitriã e nos atendeu prontamente no que foi possível. A casa é muito aconchegante e as instruções sobre a propriedade, facilidades e vizinhança foram muito precisas. O bairro é bastante silencioso e seguro."
3363810,24675070,2015-01-01,24828733,Marie,"The description was accurate and the cottage was adorable.  I only had very minor complaints while I was staying there.  The biggest was that Jess kept the clean towels in a basket right next to the toilet, and about half of them were touching the toilet.  Everything seemed very clean but this was still off-putting to me.

However, my overall experience turned sour when after my stay Jess accused me of causing a stain on her chaise lounge which I could not possible have caused, as I kept the chaise covered the whole time, being concerned about my dog's possibly muddy paws.  Jess attempted to collect more than $300 from me for this quarter-sized bleach stain, which could not have come from anything I did even had the chaise been uncovered.

This dispute has not been resolved, but I was disappointed with how Jess communicated about it.  She immediately told me she was going to report the matter to Airbnb before even giving me all the information about what happened.  Basically, Jess was very professional, but at that point it just felt ridiculous when she could have started by trying to discuss the situation with me directly."
3363810,24993711,2015-01-04,31004,Jill,"As a fellow airbnb host, I appreciated Jessica's professionalism.  The space is adorable, clean and equipped with everything we needed.  I am definitely taking away some pointers to make my property more accommodating."
3363810,25385352,2015-01-14,24529883,Katelin,"Loved the stay in east Austin. Great location, 15 minute drive from the airport and a short bus ride to downtown. The house was clean, comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a long vacation. Jess was helpful and responded promptly to all my questions. "
3363810,25879359,2015-01-28,8140880,Rebecca,"I enjoyed my stay at Jess' cabin.  It was clean, well appointed and welcoming.  "
3363810,27792023,2015-03-12,2960368,Libby,"We really enjoyed our stay at Jess's cute cottage. Everything was just as the photos depicted. Jess is friendly, laid back and always responded promptly to any questions. The cottage is a little closer to the main house than I imagined but privacy was not a problem. In fact, I only saw Jess twice during the six weeks we stayed there. We especially enjoyed the cottage's private backyard. 

The cottage is located in a residential working class neighborhood. We walked our dog around the area once or more a day and never felt unsafe. There are lots of great restaurants and bars in East Austin but you will need a car or use Uber to reach them. There's not a whole lot of interest within walking distance. We did like Marcelino Pan y Vino (half a mile away) for breakfast tacos. 

A freight train runs nightly about a block away and there is a constant humming noise coming from the police station (hidden by a fence). We only heard the humming noise when the heating/ac unit was not in use. If you don't need to be in the middle of everything or be in complete silence, this is a great place for a short term stay. "
3363810,28290632,2015-03-21,5719354,Nicky,"I had a wonderful stay! Jess was super responsive and detailed, not to mention accommodating. Thanks again! "
3363810,29207108,2015-04-05,18120943,Owen,Great private place to stay. A $6 uber to 6th street. Will definitely look it up again next time we're in town!
3363810,30574093,2015-04-24,19846011,BeckiJo,"This is such an awesome space. It's HUGE for one thing. And it's cozy at the same time. I wasn't expecting such a spacious and comfortable little ""cottage"". The shower is beautiful tiling. The kitchen was so clean and organized. The bed was comfortable and the back yard area was perfect. The host was really gracious when I forgot the lockbox code after a long day. She was very hospitable. "
3363810,31970422,2015-05-12,24821966,James,"Jess' place is fantastic.  Very comfortable, a great location (10 minute drive/ride to downtown.  Also very nice to have a washer and dryer.

I highly recommend this space."
3363810,33074590,2015-05-25,28028428,Matt,"We had a wonderful time and Jess was awesome.  The cottage is quiet, secluded, and well equipped.  We had a late flight out of Austin, and Jess graciously offered to let us check out late.  Then, when flash floods halted airport travel and we thought we might be stuck at the airport, Jess texted us to let us know that if our plane got cancelled, we could stay another night at the cottage at no cost!  Delightful place; incredible host."
3363810,34884232,2015-06-13,33547134,Adrienne,House was so great! Amazingly private and comfortable!
3363810,35522075,2015-06-19,35421334,Alexandra,"The place is just as pictured! Small, but very cute and clean. The only complaint I had was about the terribly low water pressure in the shower. If you have long hair, be prepared to take a painfully long shower. Jess and her roommate were both welcoming and helpful! "
3363810,36474185,2015-06-28,36144098,Alyssa,This was my first experience with Air BnB and it was great! Jess was a very gracious host and flexible with me having to change my arrival time due to a delayed flight. The space was wonderful and in a good location. Cheap cab ride into downtown. 
3363810,37410438,2015-07-06,11546631,Alx,Jess is kind and welcoming!
3363810,38085981,2015-07-12,38088113,Anna,This was my first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful! Jess is really sweet and she gave us some great suggestions on things to do in the area. The house is as pictured...very cozy. I would definitely recommend this place. I hope it's available next time I plan a trip to Austin! 
3363810,40526074,2015-07-31,17895296,Kate,"We loved staying at Jess's guest house when we were having our home painted!  Awesome location, close to 7th and Springdale, very easy to navigate around East Austin.  Jess was easy to deal with as well, she sent us a house manual the day we checked in with instructions on how to find keys and was available via text when we had questions about logging into the wifi network.  A+, would stay again if we couldn't stay in our house for any reason :)"
3363810,40915555,2015-08-03,33225522,Chloé,Jess's place is amazing!! The guest cottage is beautiful. She shares lots of information about the town and things to know about the house. All the information was very clear and the house was very clean and tidy. I didn't want to leave. It was like paradise!
3363810,44342039,2015-08-25,10734764,Edward,10/10 would visit again and recommend. Close to the park for exercise and convenient for biking or the bus. Jess was an amazing host. She put attention into making the home comfortable and stocked with quality linens and supplies. She answered any questions right away and took care of any concerns. Fantastic experience! 
3363810,48260380,2015-09-24,16253164,Kathleen,"Jess was great! We had some unavoidable problems and Jess was quick to solve them! Great place, would stay again!"
3363810,48581826,2015-09-27,43447527,Fran,This was my husband and I first time using airbnb and I must say Jess made it  a great experience. The location of the rental was absolutely great. Minutes away from everything we decided to do in our 3 day stay. The cottage was very cute and cozy. She was readily available if and when we needed her. I thank you Jess for allowing us to experience Austin. I hope you to use you again☺
3363810,49182550,2015-10-01,31377005,Kat,"My stay at Jess's place was perfect. It ended up being much more spacious than I expected and my boyfriend and I really enjoyed the little garden she created for guests. Such a cute spot, super close to nice eateries etc in Austin. And the bed was sooo comfy!"
3363810,49522831,2015-10-04,197601,Adrian,"Exactly as described. Easy access, quite roomy.  A little bit out of the way, but Ubers are plentiful and cheap. "
3363810,50181794,2015-10-10,42365735,Ann,Jess was so awesome to keep in touch as needed!
3363810,51027912,2015-10-17,42791381,Katie,"We loved staying here and it made our trip great. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen and furnishings were nice and the location made it easy to get downtown.  We loved having coffee and breakfast there in the mornings and a glass of wine in the backyard in the evening. It felt private and safe, a quiet neighborhood not too far away from the action downtown. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Austin. "
3363810,51453145,2015-10-20,2488316,Michael,"Jess was in frequent communication. Everything was clear and worked as it should. The interior finish of the property is very nice and it is roomier than the other properties we have used in Austin. It also has a functional up-to-date kitchen for people the need it. The property is behind the main house and it is very secure.  Oh, and it has a washer and dryer too.  We would definitely stay here again. "
3363810,51831720,2015-10-24,25354482,Melissa,"Jess' place was great! Cute, cozy, and accessible to all Austin had to offer.  Thanks, Jess!"
3363810,52247780,2015-10-27,34223143,Amanda,"Jess was a great host. She was helpful when I had a difficult time connecting to the wifi our first night. There is a stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, full bathroom, a living area seen in pictures with the chaise lounger and a very comfortable bed. The house is very clean and has pretty much anything you could need. Your bedroom doesn't have a door to separate  it from living space, so if you're sharing the space privacy is limited, which wasn't an issue for my sister and I. There's a beautiful outside space on the back of the guest house that is separate from the main house. I really enjoyed staying here. The only complaint I had was that it was time consuming to get ready with two females and one very small mirror to share in the bathroom. Also there wasn't cable or anything connected to the TV to play DVDs from that I could find, but I think that's on the main description. There is an HDMI chord provided. I used a chromecast to stream Netflix. I really loved the touch of having a guest book for people to sign and flip through and a community style of the house where people leave things like liquor they can't fly with or shampoo they didn't use. There was water bottles and Fireball in the fridge when we arrived and we left our local beer selection we didn't finish behind for the next guests! Jess made a ton of suggestions for things to do in the area. There's a lot to do near by and a cheap uber ride into the city. If you stay here you HAVE to eat at The Salty Sow. It's 5minutes away and some of the best food I've ever had! Over-all I highly recommend staying here! "
4013309,41836880,2015-08-09,39296590,Thomas,"By far exceeded our expectations! Ted and Janelle have a wonderful home on property, and were there if we needed anything. The townhouse is a great layout and worked out perfectly for our group of 6. It was nice having plenty of space, and two bathrooms. We plan to book again in the future. 

Thomas C. "
4013309,45798811,2015-09-06,15538924,Judy,"This is a really beautiful accommodation in a perfect location.  It is impeccably clean, and all the amenities have been thoughtfully provided.  There are 2 lovely decks if you want to relax outside.  The property is stylishly decorated, with attention to detail and comfort.  We used the laundry facilities which was a very nice extra.  Though we didn't use the kitchen, it also had been thoughtfully equipped.  I loved it here; though we were only staying a few nights, it felt like home and I would love to return and stay longer."
4013309,51177426,2015-10-18,8332001,Brian,"This house was perfect for our group of 4. It is nice and clean, had all of the amenities we needed and was a perfect location for us. It is walking distance to downtown, and not far from campus either.  Would definitely stay again when going to Austin. "
4013309,52066930,2015-10-26,23459590,Gretel,"Great, great, great!!! The house is in a lovely neighborhood, walking distance of the 6th street, where all the activity of Austin takes place.  The house is impecably clean, perfect for a small group (we were 4 adults and two kids), it has EVERYTHING we needed to make us feel at home and to make our week so easy.  Ted & Janelle are wonderful hosts, who have thought of all the amenities one needs when traveling and the house is well equiped."
4013309,52517523,2015-10-30,5476271,Beaudry,"Spacious and comfortable spot, well situated for downtown access. A bit noisy late at night (looks onto an alley and municipal parking lot) but otherwise very decent accommodation."
5652198,28154495,2015-03-18,15747893,Curtis,"Cool guys, showed us around Austin and made sure we had a good time. "
5652198,28283703,2015-03-21,28999449,Cory,"Jacob was very easy to work with and made sure we had a comfortable stay. In addition to the pleasant atmosphere and decent location of his place, Jacob and his roommate also provided great recommendations for eats, drinks, and music venues. If I were to come back to Austin any time soon, I would certainly consider staying here again."
5652198,28441109,2015-03-23,29381332,Giselle,"tbh great guys, v homey feels. great music tastes and very generous! if I ever came back to Austin Id choose again :) "
8266703,53228922,2015-11-06,27859415,Adam,"Betsy was a great host.
The house was better than my expectations. Clean, 2 beds to accommodate, and a great updated bathroom.

The neighborhood is in a perfect location to all east side bars and restaurants and downtown is only a few blocks away.

I highly recommend staying here while in Austin."
2524955,11385175,2014-03-31,9079558,Frederico,"David and his wife are extremely kind and easy going. The apartment is cousy. 2 nice beds and all the privacy you need. Walking distance to the hotspot of Austin, but in a quiet and pleasent street. What else? Whole Foods right down the street.
It was a great experience."
2524955,11730094,2014-04-13,13244859,Cody,"We were pleasantly surprised as the place was very nice--much nicer than the current pictures suggest. Only about a 5-10 minute walk to W. 6th Street, and it's a nice walk, so there's no reason to pay for a cab. The suite area is an add-on to the host couple's house, so lots of privacy. Also, a small refreshment area stocked with breads, muffins, gatorade, coffee, etc was highly appreciated. Perfect place, perfect location, and a lot of really great little touches that made it a perfect stay. I unequivocally recommend it."
2524955,11779919,2014-04-14,14005277,Kylie,"Great location.  Walking distance to where we were headed on W 6th.  Had a group of 4 girls, so the 2 bedrooms were perfect for us.  Staying in a hotel doesn't guarantee that you'll be on the same floor even, so having a private apartment to use was great.  Nice big bedrooms, comfortable furnishings, large bathroom."
2524955,12040001,2014-04-21,6225116,Nick,"David and his wife were extremely friendly and helpful! The house is in a great location to enjoy the nightlife on 6th Street.  The suite was clean and organized with snacks and drinks provided  If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet neighborhood that's within walking distance (or a short cab ride) of Austin's nightlife and restaurants, this is the place to stay!"
2524955,13111339,2014-05-19,12135502,Ashley,David was great. His home was beautiful and he was so helpful with us being unfamiliar with the area. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
2524955,15384373,2014-07-07,15761583,Lad,"David was an amazing host, hands down. Foremost he was quick to respond (even last minute on 4th of July weekend), and the place was unbelievable. David made great suggestions to us about some cool spots around town and the location was perfect for getting around - in a beautiful neighborhood walking distance from downtown. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone. "
2524955,19519681,2014-09-14,5628494,Remington,"My friends and I had a great time at David's home. It was clean, well furnished, and had a lot of extra towels for our group.

There was an added benefit of plenty of water, soft drinks, wine, and small food that our group could help ourselves to.

Although David was not in town, he made sure that we could find his place easily and that we would have a good time.

The only thing to note is that there isn't a kitchen since this is an add-on to his main home, so you'll have to use the sink in the bathroom if you need one in the first. We didn't have any issues with this.

Overall, it was a great stay.
"
2524955,19966127,2014-09-21,20988537,Danielle,"David's cozy guest loft was perfect for a weekend trip to Austin! He welcomed us with wine, bread and cheese, and had all of the essentials that you need, which was very convenient! The location was fantastic -- a short walking distance to a huge Whole Foods and many restaurants and shops. (Also, very close to 6th Street!) Would definitely stay here again -- thanks David! "
2524955,20370890,2014-09-28,220582,Katie,"David was an outstanding host. When we arrived, he had a bottle of wine and a fully stocked fridge at our disposal. It was great to have a late-night snack after a long flight. The apartment is within walking distance to 6th street and in a nice neighborhood. It had all the amenities that we were looking for and was an overall pleasant stay. The apartment is clean, well kept and separate from the rest of the house, so we felt we had plenty of privacy. The garden area was also lovely. "
2524955,20767863,2014-10-05,1580927,Tess,"Staying at David's home was one of my best airbnb experiences so far! He was very accommodating, even picking me up from the airport and working to help me find a solution when my friend cancelled last minute. The rooms are just like the pictures (spacious, good lightening, comfy beds, nice bathroom). It's located in a cute, quiet area, but close to all the bars/restaurants on 6th street. It was great that he also provided some snacks and drinks! I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin"
2524955,22513507,2014-11-08,10530583,James,"Great host! Gave us a walk through, provided snacks for free and made us feel welcome."
2524955,22557810,2014-11-09,13076912,Gaby,"David and his wife Lynn were amazing hosts! The apartment is brand new, very spacious, beautiful bathroom and even has a private backyard.  David and his wife greeted us with freshly baked bread, cheeses, and even wine!  The apartment is located in a beautiful neighborhood walking distance to downtown and several other bars in the area.  David even offered to pick us up at the airport which was an incredibly generous gesture.  If I came back to Austin I would definitely stay here again.  Thank you David for your hospitality!"
2524955,24670874,2015-01-01,5784316,Ernest,Charming place with more than enough extras to please this traveler.  Convenient location for visiting downtown Austin.  Would stay again.
2524955,24800394,2015-01-02,2706757,Rodrigo,"David was a great host, his home is beautiful and the rooms are very comfy. Despite our having made a mistake with our check in dates they still made us feel at home. 
Amazingly located and real nice folks : )"

2524955,25806366,2015-01-26,249674,Logan,"What a great apartment! David was an excellent host, and even picked us up at the airport. The apartment was exactly as described, and stocked with fresh towels, waters, and some welcome cheese and bread. The apartment itself is super close to West 6th street (5 minute walk), and a short/cheap Uber to other great Austin spots like South of Congress and Rainey Street. "
2524955,26264282,2015-02-08,26478319,Dakota,Great location and hosts!
2524955,26500286,2015-02-14,8199392,Jd,"David was very accommodating with arrival time and met me at the unit to go through everything that would make us more comfortable during our stay.  Extra bonus points for the sausage/cheese & beer that was left for us in the fridge.  The apartment was comfortable and clean and a short walk from West 6th, and short cab from East 6th restaurants and entertainment."
2524955,26996033,2015-02-23,10104281,Brian,"Amazing Hosts! Very kind and accommodating. Spot is small but cozy! No kitchen, but it didn't seem to be a problem. They have a mini fridge/freezer, coffee maker, microwave, sodas n beers! Beautiful large bathroom. Two bedrooms with queen beds, and a living area. Technically, it's not an entire home, but a very sectioned off part of their home. So if you think you might be noisy, maybe not the best place. Amazing location, we had a wonderful time. Thanks guys!"
2524955,27660201,2015-03-09,27283996,Rebecca,"We had a lovely experience at 9th Over Lamar. I arrived before my family, and the hosts invited me in for a cocktail. The house was attractive and thoughtfully furnished. Fresh bread, and wine & cheese in the fridge made for a lovely indoor picnic on a rainy evening! Beds were comfortable, bathroom spacious and elegant - we enjoyed it all."
2524955,27753293,2015-03-10,28975282,Steven,"David and his wife are excellent hosts.  They Had the mini fridge stocked with water, OJ, beer,and cider. Along with the bottle of wine, cheese, cured meat, and fresh hot pretzels it was an amazingly nice welcome from a long day of travel.  The accommodations were lovely and perfect for our party of 5. everything was clean and fully stocked.  David was always quick with his responses and clear in his communications.  I wholeheartedly recommended."
2524955,27761088,2015-03-11,5254909,Jakub,Great stay. David even offered to and picked us up from the airport. Thanks a thousand.
2524955,28295280,2015-03-22,19596398,Cicely,"Our hosts were wonderful. They went out of their way to make our experience with them a great one. They arranged to pick us up at the airport, were warm and welcoming, had wine and cookies waiting for our arrival, suggested some great places to eat, and even dropped us off at the airport when we had to leave. The apartment was very well kept, clean, and ideally located. The neighbourhood was beautiful and safe. A truly excellent place that we were so happy to stay in. "
2524955,28781485,2015-03-30,3846501,Kate,"Great apartment and wonderful hosts. The apartment is cozy, clean and well-located - and the beds are comfortable, something I often find lacking in Airbnb places. As the listing makes clear, there is no kitchen, but you do have a fridge, microwave and everything you need to make coffee & tea. (Also, it's not like Austin is short of good places to eat out.) Moreover, the hosts left us some snacks and even a bottle of wine.  Something went wrong with the shower while we were there (these things happen) but the friendly hosts fixed it right away - much appreciated. Highly recommended, I'd definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin."
2524955,29732004,2015-04-12,14478498,Pablo,"Lin and David are great hosts. Their place is in an awesome location, a few minutes walk from 6th street, but quiet, cozy and private. Also, very close to Graffiti Park, Waterloo Record Store and Whole Foods. Plenty to do within walking distance. The apartment has its own private entry, a nice outdoor patio and plenty of space for the four of us. Lin provided fresh bread and a few drinks and snacks in the fridge for us. I'd definitely book 9th over Lamar on my next Austin visit."
2524955,30351109,2015-04-20,30990965,Matt,Hosts were great and the accommodation was well appointed.  They were wonderful and communicated well by working with us so we could check in a little earlier than the official time so we could get our little one down for a nap.  They also offered to put our bikes in their garage for safe keeping.  Would definitely stay here again.
2524955,30666871,2015-04-26,26960546,Lindsay,"Our 9th Over Lamar experience was fantastic beginning to end. David and his wife Lin were very responsive, but not intrusive. We really appreciated the ride to and from the airport. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and just a few blocks from Downtown sites. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio. We definitely recommend this spot to anyone making a visit to the Austin area!"
2524955,31299283,2015-05-04,26926063,Patti,This was exactly as described.  Very clean and comfortable and in a perfect location.   This home is tucked into a beautiful neighborhood but with very easy access to downtown.  We had a wonderful stay here and were very pleased with everything.  Thanks to our hosts for the airport pick up too!
2524955,32390090,2015-05-17,16217437,Ken,"David was great. He was super responsive over email and left us all sorts of snacks at the apartment. The place was really well located, close to downtown and also the nearby places to eat, drink, and hang out. It was also really easy to get to UT campus from there. The bedrooms were good sized and really comfortable. "
2524955,33079413,2015-05-25,11339893,Matthew,"David was great. Met us at our convenience. Apt was just as advertised and was perfectly located. Apt was very nice and David went over the top by leaving us many snacks, drinks and coffee. Lots of towels as well. Overall was great!"
2524955,33734900,2015-05-31,33986799,Samantha,"From the moment we arrived everything was above and beyond what we expected. David thought of everything. We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and cheese and the apt was exactly like the pictures showed. The beds were comfortable and clean and we had plenty of room for all five of us including plenty of towels. The apt is located in a great location. We had easy access to downtown, zilker park, Rainey st and also had ample parking. We were able to walk to breakfast and whole foods is super close. The neighborhood is safe and quiet so we really felt at home. Our plans changed and David very graciously
allowed us to check out late without any problems/fees. I would highly recommend anyone to check out David's place. You won't be disappointed. "
2524955,34197954,2015-06-06,2680908,Lan-Chi,"Although David was out of town, he made us feel very welcome. Couldn't have asked for a better apartment and host! The location is quite central to downtown Austin and yet still in a residential area away from the bar scene. Highly recommend staying at 9th over Lamar. "
2524955,34821575,2015-06-12,13303718,Richard,"David provided a terrific experience within easy walking distance to downtown Austin even in summer heat! The area is quiet and residential, checking in and out was easy and David ensured we were provided with clean, comfortable accommodation as well as a number of unexpected benefits. The beds were as comfy as any I've ever slept in. The listing was exactly as described and I would recommend it highly. "
2524955,34993186,2015-06-14,20815453,Via,"Great stay! Though unexpectedly pulled out of town over the weekend, David was still very responsive to calls and texts. Made checking in/ getting keys very easy. 

The apartment was at a perfect location, walking distance from W 6th. Nicely furnished. Both bedrooms were adorably decorated and gave off a very homey feel. Definitely added to an awesome first Austin experience!"
2524955,35706849,2015-06-21,7201996,Felipe,The apt was great! We highly enjoyed our stay and it was incredibly close to everything we wanted. 
2524955,38457565,2015-07-15,19915839,Adam,"Experience was great! We showed up later in the day and had a seamless check-in. Once Lynn arrived we were greeted w/ warm bread, and other awesome goodies. The place was clean, and as described. Having a parking spot downtown was great, and we wer able to walk to our work event at Whole Foods HQ. Thanks David and Lynn!"
2524955,38959733,2015-07-19,38601479,Nour,"I was very sceptic about using Airbnb, but my friends convinced me to try this service for our Bastille Day weekend. And I have to say it much better than a hotel. Our host David was really a wonderful host, not only he welcome us  with good wine , ""Baquette"" and cheese but, he also  recommend us some interesting place to visit and some good local restaurants. The place itself is well located, you can walk to almost all the touristic place in Austin, and only few blocks from the graffiti wall. The apartment was super clean , calm and cosy.  We are all enjoyed staying there, it just feels like home. Plus there is no better way to celebrate Bastille Day in American than having wine and cheese. 
I highly recommend this place for whoever want to visit Austin. 
"
2524955,40024638,2015-07-27,9193244,Mohammed,"David greeted us warmly and was helpful in getting us set up in the apartment.

Beautiful home that comfortably sleeps 4 and very clean. 

Nice neighborhood walk to local restaurants and bars. Thanks, David!"
2524955,40801713,2015-08-02,26639375,Cynthia,David was a great host. He gave us directions in via telephone call and personally showed us upstairs. The home is exactly as described and pictured. There were complimentary snacks and wine as well. The home was clean and fully stocked. The best part about this listing is the location. It's located on the west end of sixth and is just perfect for those seeking to experience downtown Austin. I will be using David again if/when I need another house for the weekend.
2524955,41183233,2015-08-04,19102262,Mimi,"Wonderful place to stay. Such a great neighborhood, location. Lovely accommodations, lovely hostess. "
2524955,41804014,2015-08-09,37995132,Kelly,"The hosts set up their place with snacks and beverages, greeting myself and my friends with freshly baked bread.  Check in and check out was super easy and flexible.  The location was great.  It was an easy walk to downtown hotspots and we even walked to Barton Springs.  Otherwise, everything we wanted to see was a short uber ride away.  The space was perfect for lounging before heading out or when coming back from being out.  The only thing that was missing was a full kitchen with a sink would have been nice, but the kitchenette worked out well for us as we went out for meals. The bathroom and bedrooms were very spacious and clean.  We have no complaints about our stay here and would definitely recommend 9th Over Lamar to anyone with a group of 4-5 traveling to Austin. "
2524955,42854029,2015-08-16,18974602,Eleanor,"Apartment is a granny annexe over the garage at the back of the house.  Easy to access, very homely feel.  Everything we needed was there - to note, there is no kitchen.  Not something we needed but for anyone staying longer than a couple of days!
We only stayed one night and it was perfect.  Enough space, perfect location to walk around and get ubers from.  Loved it!
David wasn't in town when we stayed, so he talked us in and made sure everything was ready for when we arrived."
2524955,43464762,2015-08-19,18126447,Liqun,Very good service
2524955,43683054,2015-08-21,33904290,Kelly&Elena,David´s house was just perfect! 
2524955,44122370,2015-08-24,7411436,Andrew,We really liked the apartment - it's got a great location within walking distance of downtown but it's also in a nice quiet neighborhood. The apt was exactly like the pictures showed and is very comfortable. I would highly recommend David and Lynn's place for any visit to Austin.
2524955,44920165,2015-08-30,37491598,Judy,"The neighborhood is wonderful, close to downtown Austin. The description was accurate and was actually more impressive than described. It is a small apartment above the garage. There's a little patio if you want to sit outside. There were two bedrooms and a day bed in the living room with plenty of room. A loaf of bread was given to us on our arrival and a bottle of wine left for us in the living room which also had a TV, microwave and mini-refrigerator. The bathroom was very large with both a bathtub and a shower. It was lovely and I would like to stay there again in the future. "
2524955,45685379,2015-09-05,39871086,Mark,David's home was beautiful. Upon arrival we were gifted a baguette. It was a nice touch. We took advantage of the patio area and relaxed in there in the evening as the sun went down. It was pure bliss. The beds and bedding were exceptionally comfortable as well. I highly recommend David's 9th Over Lamar!
2524955,45947237,2015-09-07,15311055,Holly,Very helpful and responsive
2524955,46573973,2015-09-12,2060298,Ainsley,"Very comfortable stay. The place was clean and relatively central to the fun Sixth St nightlife. We didn't get to meet David but check in/out was a breeze and very flexible. He also left some complimentary cheese and fresh bread - very thoughtful. The only thing to be aware of is the limited kitchenette. While there is a fridge and microwave + toaster, there is no oven/stove or kitchen sink, so we needed to rinse cups and bowls in the bathroom sink. This was okay for a short stay but longer stays might need a place with a bigger kitchen. Overall a great option for a few days in Austin."
2524955,47639501,2015-09-21,6966038,John,The condo was just like it was described to the tee.very quiet neighborhood as well.David was an excellent host and we felt quite welcome
2524955,49428387,2015-10-04,36530051,Kallie,"We enjoyed our stay. Great location and quiet, clean place.  My friend and I stayed with our two teenage kids and went to ACL. Walked there and back for each day of the festival. We will be back again."
2524955,50423624,2015-10-12,25771744,Katherine,"The apartment is exactly as pictured. It was clean and had a great location. Complimentary bread, cheese and wine were left for us.

2524955,51272991,2015-10-19,10138367,Wendy,"We had a great time at David's place. We loved the location and had breakfast at Wholefoods each morning. The location was quiet and comfortable. We hired AustinBcycles and went to Barton Springs for a swim. Austin is awesome, great pubs with live music. The Dever Girls won the USA AFL Football championship which was awesome. Go the Bulldogs. Thanks David. Cheers Wendy"
7873862,45213644,2015-08-31,42628335,Andrew,"Dai was a great host. Place was very clean and nice. Hes very knowledgeable on the surrounding area and made us feel at home. We will be coming back, the next time we visit austin."
7873862,46020014,2015-09-07,41846492,Andrew,"Dai provided a very welcoming, easy, and fun place to stay for my quick two nights in Austin! The apartment was very clean and well-stocked with waters and drinks, which he graciously offered to me during my stay. The bedroom and bathroom was spacious and comfortable. I was in town for a wedding, so I went out both nights, but Dai gave me some tips on places to go out and eat - all of which were great - and when I was in the room, he was very social and friendly! I'd stay again if I'm ever back in Austin! Thanks for helping with a great weekend. "
7873862,46227692,2015-09-08,22781511,Vinayak,Dai was very accommodating and flexible with our requests. We had no problem going in and out late night. He gave us good company during the stay.
7873862,46442744,2015-09-10,39869047,Soo,The location and convenience of Dai's place were exactly what I was looking for during my business trip to Austin! The pictures on the listing are not of Dai's place but perhaps the model unit for the complex. Floor plan and general layout are the same - very spacious and tidy. Dai was a great host and made me feel welcome. Thank you!
7873862,47203744,2015-09-16,43215046,Em,"Dai was an amazing host during our stay and was extremely helpful. He gave us countless recommendations of places to eat, famous spots to see, places to go out at night. His apartment is within walking distance of downtown and right across the street from Franklins Barbecue. He made us feel very welcome and responded to texts almost immediately if had any questions. We couldn't of asked for a better experience using airbnb. We had a blast in Austin and would love to stay with him again if he'd have us. "
7873862,48765609,2015-09-28,11240290,Ericka,"Dai was a great host! His place was clean, spacious, simple and very cozy. It was located near many amazing places to eat and shopHe was helpful and considerate! He even helped us out of a bind like a friend, going above and beyond his host duties! His building had easy 24/hlur access, friendly neighbors and lots of great perks like a pool and gym. We will definitely be using his place again when we visit austin! "
7873862,49629180,2015-10-05,15708737,Lorna,"Great location - minutes from Downtown and all the hustle and bustle, and literally opposite the famous Franklins BBQ! Good communication before and during our stay and the room has lots of space and privacy which was lovely - even a little balcony! "
7873862,49721121,2015-10-05,3903739,Miguel,The host canceled this reservation 161 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7873862,49998477,2015-10-08,11052861,Tyler,"Great host, with a great location. Everything was easily walk-able, and tons of great food near by!"
7873862,50458072,2015-10-12,14892922,Jessie,"While I never had the pleasure to meet Dai during my stay, he was extremely friendly and responsive via text/email with all questions and concerns from the time of booking through the end our stay. Dai provided us with water, towels, toiletries, and a blow dryer. He even let me borrow a bag of his to use since I had forgotten mine. 

The apartment was very clean and spacious and the balcony was a nice bonus. The bedroom room was also (just) big enough for our group of 3 to fit the queen air mattress that we brought with us. Overall, the building has some kick-ass amenities like the pool, party room, fitness center, game courtyard, business center, and rooftop lounge. 

The location is perfect, as there is a CVS across the street and within walking distance to Rainey St., downtown, and fun attractions like the Graffiti Park or Franklin's (right across the street).  Zilker Park is also just 3 miles away, which made for a quick cab ride to ACL and allowed us to avoid terrible traffic. I would absolutely stay here again- thanks, Dai!"
7873862,50806398,2015-10-14,8971019,Fiona,"Dai was a great host. His place was clean and roomy, and is a short uber ride to most places. Was nice to meet Dai and get some recommendations on places to go etc. thanks Dai!"
7873862,51298747,2015-10-19,4399288,Chris,"Dai is a great, laid-back host. His communication is excellent and very prompt. The apartment itself is spotless. You'll have a ""suite"" to yourself with a large bedroom, bathroom, and walk in closet. The location is great too - 10 minutes walk to Austin night life, and (although I didn't try it) literally across the street from the world's best barbecue. Great option for your stay in Austin"
7873862,51629088,2015-10-22,41460237,Jin (JS),Everything that Dai posted was accurate. His place was nice. The neighborhood was safe. And he was an awesome host. 
7873862,52222932,2015-10-27,42934389,Carly,"We stayed at Dai's place for a long weekend in Austin.  It was perfect.  Spacious bedroom with an attached private bathroom and massive closet. Also, Dai was an incredibly friendly host and offered plenty of suggestions for all the hot spots in Austin. The location is also key - close enough to walk everywhere without the downtown prices!"
7873862,52848668,2015-11-02,44541844,Michael,"My first Airbnb experience, and it worked out pretty great. The place was unbelievably clean, and Dai was totally accommodating. The layout of the apartment seemed really well suited for guests with the bedroom and en suite bathroom on its own side of the apartment, separated and private. Giant box of granola bars saved me from some late night hunger. Recommend fully."
7771510,49557039,2015-10-04,24949101,Daniel,"Stacey was an excellent host, and was friendly and easygoing. She also gave us many tips on interesting off-the-beaten track places to visit. The apartment was quiet, comfortable and casual, and the bedroom was perfect, with an artistic flair to decoration. The bed was the most comfortable I've felt in a long time, and combined with the quiet atmosphere, gave us the best night's sleep I've had in a while. Oh, and if you get a chance to try her cooking, please do - she's an amazing cook!"
7771510,49852395,2015-10-06,33383507,Nick,Great location and wonderful host.  Stacey was great and had homemade treats for us!  Room was very comfortable and we were 15 minutes from everywhere we wanted to be.  
1929377,20804953,2014-10-05,10858566,Monta,"Upon arriving at Diana and Paul's amazing dream home, this was my first bnb experience, and those two were GREAT hosts!! I came in late and they stayed up to greet me with smiles and positive energy. Retreat 1 has everything you need for a good nights sleep. Total control of the temp, cozy bed, and a peaceful neighborhood! The hosts also provided toiletries and were nearby if I needed anything! Definitely a great place to stay!! I'll be back soon!"
1929377,21106078,2014-10-11,16718000,Dianna,"Diana and Paul were tremendous hosts and the house was beautiful.  The room was upstairs that came with it's own bathroom and sitting area. It was very clean and everything was provided for us to use if we needed it.  The place was quiet, the internet worked flawlessly, and the water pressure was strong.  This was our first time using Airbnb and we didn't know what to expect, but now we won't hesitate to use this site again.  I would definitely recommend this place to others."
1929377,21156770,2014-10-12,21657615,Anna,"Diana and Paul were very accommodating and friendly hosts! They provided a separate bathroom with towels and tooth brushes for me and my friends. There is a thermostat on the second floor so we could change the temperature to our liking,  a TV room we could help ourselves to use, and there was even a mini fridge that we could use upstairs to hold any food. I would definitely recommend staying with them in Austin, I throughly enjoyed my visit :)! "
1929377,21641916,2014-10-20,16126273,Dennis,"It was such a lovely stay! Diana and Paul are such great hosts and persons. They helped us with how to get around in Austin and we went to some great places. They even made us a really nice dinner! We felt at home directly and had a great time in Austin. The house is really big, clean and just wonderful. Our room was so nice and there was bathroom supplies, breakfast, awesome bagels and coffee! Highly recomended!"
1929377,21865394,2014-10-25,7853023,Rebekka,"Diana and Paul are incredibly warm people. They were upgrading (changing out furniture) in the room I intitally booked, so it was unavaible but they were very helpful in placing us in a different room in their home for the same rate. They've decked out their bathroom better than a 5 star resort, after a month on the road Q- tips were greatly appreciated. We loved staying at their home. Its 20 min (30 with traffic) outside of the hustling Austin downtown area, if you don't mind driving a little this will be your favorite place to stay in Austin."
1929377,21935733,2014-10-26,16039662,Simone,My fiance and I were making a quick trip to Austin for a wedding.  We needed somewhere to stay for 1 day and Diana & Paul's private room was the perfect place!  The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The house and our living quarters were very clean. I felt very comfortable and safe with bathing and sleeping there. I'm very picky so this place is nice!  We had free range to snacks and water. Extra toiletries were provided as well. We you come to Austin stay here if you want a place that is clean and safe with awesome host's.
1929377,22173762,2014-10-31,23052868,Michelle,"Diana and Paul's place absolutely is above and beyond.   The home is beautiful, sparkling clean and very quiet.  It truly feels like a ""retreat"" because the room is located at second floor with a private bathroom, spacious den area and your own fridge.  

Diana and Paul are warm and welcoming.  Great B&B experiences!  "
1929377,22447062,2014-11-06,16700481,Martha,"This was a great airbnb experience. We arrived late, so they had gone to bed, but they gave instructions on how to get in, which was no problem. The room was wonderful -- even had an iPhone cord and bathrobes. Very comfy bed. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and welcoming. Bottled water was readily available, and breakfast in the morning was sweet! We enjoyed the juice, bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, and coffee very much. The early check in time/late check out time was a boon to our schedule. The room felt so removed from anything else in the house -- it was like a private suite! Wonderful experience overall."
1929377,23054423,2014-11-21,23831999,Jeff,"This was our first ""airbnb"" experience. We were making a quick trip to Austin, and the availability and location of Diana an Paul's place was perfect. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient. Their home is beautiful, and the private accommodations are very comfortable and clean. Everything was exactly as presented in the listing and pictures. We give this two thumbs up, and look forward to return visits!"
1929377,23935322,2014-12-14,4913771,Marc,"Diana and Paul are fabulous hosts.  Their house is beautiful, comfy, and inviting.  They have all of the creature comforts plus a couple I never thought of like a shower robe, a suitcase stand, and more.  

The rooms upstairs are nice and feels like your own wing of the house.  I could've stayed up there all day, but I'm glad I didn't.  Diana and Paul are perfect hosts.  They welcomed me into the kitchen in the morning and we had more conversation than we had time.  

Diana and Paul are a prime example of why Airbnb is a success and why I love using it.  It's an experience with meaning and real people. "
1929377,24574261,2014-12-30,11540016,Jordan,"I stayed here 1 night with my girlfriend for sight-seeing and visiting friends in Austin. Diana, Paul, and the accommodation were great. The place is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. It's full of charming details, and it’s evident thought has gone into every corner. With a car, access to Austin is quick and easy. Diana and Paul were very friendly, helpful, and responsive going out of their way to make sure we had the perfect stay. I cannot recommend this airbnb enough."
1929377,25280050,2015-01-11,24559305,Keyur,It was great to stay with Diana and Paul. Their was newly built and had state of art facilities.

1929377,25765413,2015-01-25,23625720,Lindsay,Wonderful place to stay!  The bed was really comfortable and Dianne and Paul really go the extra mile for guests!
1929377,26266900,2015-02-08,16311596,Delisa And Charlie,"I stayed for 3 nights with Diana and Paul and it couldn't have been a better experience! 

Their communication with me before my stay was very helpful, letting me know what to expect, how to get inside, and tips about getting around in the area. They were very quick to respond to my questions, as well.

I like to do my own cooking, and they generously allowed me full use of their kitchen, which is new, modern, and had everything I needed.

The room was quiet and the bed super-comfortable. The private bath was clean, spacious, and included such things as shampoo and hand cream, as well as a hair dryer and a cushy robe for after a shower.

They live in the house and I was sleeping in one of the bedrooms, so I was wondering if it might feel uncomfortable being in someone else's house. But they were so warm, relaxed, and friendly that I felt right at home with them. They were not at all intrusive and if one wanted to keep to themselves, that would have been easy to do as there is also a living area outside the guest bedroom. But I enjoyed their company and found them both so interesting that I spent time each day visiting with them in the evening.

The house was just as pictured, and is very clean. I loved the energy-efficient touches to their home.  The neighborhood feels very safe and friendly.

Their little dog was a treat for me as I'm definitely an animal lover, but he wasn't allowed in the guest rooms so he would not be a problem for anyone who prefers to avoid dogs.

Thank you, Diana and Paul!

If I ever travel to Austin again, I would definitely stay here!"
1929377,26494867,2015-02-14,21657615,Anna,Second time visiting was just as lovely as the first time! Diane and Paul know how to keep a welcoming atmosphere at their house. I will definitely come back the next time I go to Austin

The private bathroom was spotless and    toiletries were readily available.  They even had a bottle of wine waiting for us for Valentine's Day.  They make their city look good and we highly recommend.      "
1929377,27765223,2015-03-11,20941955,Mercedes,"This was my first experience staying at an airbnb and it was awesome! Diana and Paul are so warm and welcoming and their house is fantastic. The room is very private, the bed terrific. What really made it so wonderful, though, was how extremely hospitable and welcoming Diana and Paul are. They made me feel so comfortable and were extremely helpful with everything I needed. On my last morning, as I was heading to the airport, Diana even called to let me know that the traffic was backed up and I should take another route. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Austin."
1929377,27849346,2015-03-13,13382830,John,Great communications and lovely couple.  Immaculate bedroom and bathroom.  Overall great experience.

1929377,28222850,2015-03-20,28509749,Madison,"Great experience here! The entire house is adorable and very comfy! Diana helped us find our way to train and we loved the two nights we stayed! 
FYI, the house is a little bit of trek to downtown, so don't plan on über-ing back for a decent price. HOWEVER, I doubt there is a better, more accommodating AirBNB in Austin! I mean, come on, there is a customized keypad deadbolt on the door in addition to the hundreds of other things you would have never thought of! "
1929377,28740481,2015-03-29,18999352,Jennifer,"Paul and Diana were so incredibly warm and hospitable! Their home is immaculate and comfortable and they truly thought of everything.

We love the decor of all three guest bedrooms, as well as the ""luxe"" details such as white robes!  Their neighborhood is charming, as well, with its worn ""little free library"" around the corner.

Overall, their home is the perfect combination of comfort and luxury, and they are the kindest hosts you're likely to meet.  "
1929377,30179546,2015-04-18,3131560,Anabelle,"We had an excellent time staying at Diana and Paul's beautiful home. They were kind, welcoming and professional. They provided everything you could possibly need including house manual, Austin guide, full toiletries, towels, mini fridge with water, media room and even coffee and breakfast in the morning if desired. Access to house throughout the day was seamless with the electronic access. They were located about 20 mins from downtown and there is ample parking. We fully recommend them and will certainly make a return trip should we visit Austin in the future! "
1929377,31087778,2015-05-01,28780883,Antoinette,Paul and Diana's house was immaculate. The reservation process was easy and the accommodations were spot on. 
1929377,31674051,2015-05-08,5430447,Trina,"Diana and Paul were absolutely awesome! Their home is simply grand! They were the perfect hosts; extremely accommodating, super friendly and very informative about the city and things to do while here. The room was even better than I expected and just what I needed after a long road trip out west! The entire house is extremely clean, which made for an even more comfortable stay. It's in a great location to hop right on the interstate and head downtown or go shopping and eating at nearby shops and restaurants. The neighborhood felt safe for early morning or evening jogs and there's even a nearby park. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend staying here to anyone. "
1929377,31811152,2015-05-10,2390140,Natalia,"Diana AND Paul's house is exactly as you see in the pictures. We enjoyed our stay at their beautiful, cozy-modern home. 

We were in and out of the house without a problem. Diana and Paul communicated with us and vs via technology during our stay. Communication was amazing even when we got to interact little face to face due to our schedules. 
I will definitely recommend their place and both of them as great hosts. 
"
1929377,40581137,2015-08-01,33079200,Summer,"Diana & Paul were absolutely the best hosts! I stayed in their home for two weeks as I was moving to Austin and didn't have an apartment yet. They made me feel right at home and always gave helpful advice when it came to restaurants, directions, and places to shop. Their home is very large with tons of space to relax...and play with their sweet dog Mauzer. They have thought of everything that you will ever need from hangers, Qtips, breakfast, an iron, and the keyless entry lock. They live in a quite neighborhood which is very easy to find from the highway. My bed was extremely comfy and loved having the mini fridge upstairs for cold water and snacks. The shower was very luxurious and they even provided a soft bath robe! I could keep going on and on as it is a fabulous place to stay...I highly recommend them and would definitely book again! "

They provided everything, from towels, robes, breakfast, and awesome entertainment. Diana and Paul were down to earth and  friendly. They are very knowledgeable about the great spots around Austin, they provide a manual of places. Also, besides from an awesome bedroom they also have a legit entertainment room where you can watch movies and TV. They provide a guest Netflix account, so there are plenty of movies and shows to choose from. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area, I highly recommend Diana and Paul's house, it's way better than a normal hotel. I will surely book with them next time I'm back in town."

The owner of this house is a lovely couple who are thoughtful on everything you needed during your stay. This is some place you should stay in Austin to feel at home. 

It is definitely better than a hotel. Can't compare.

P.s. This make my first Airbnb experience an awesome one."

Paul and Diana were great host and have really set the standard for what future Airbnb experiences should be like. "

But they were just a phone call or text away.  They responded quickly to my messages and even checked in on me to make sure I arrived okay.  Their house is amazing!  I was lucky enough to have it to myself on the last night.  Thank you Diana and Paul for your hospitality and for trusting me in your beautiful home.

7421435,50475158,2015-10-12,43025912,Brittany,We loved our stay here! The house was in a great location - quieter neighborhood but close to everything we needed.

5228396,40907501,2015-08-03,30704436,Erin,"I reserved Jana's apartment for a visiting colleague, and she was such a fantastic host. The apartment was chic and spotless, and it's located near tons of trendy bars and music venues. Jana always responded to my inquiries quickly, and she went above and beyond to ensure my guest's comfort, including having a family member greet him upon arrival to show him around the property and explain how everything works. I would highly recommend booking with Jana! "
5228396,47162969,2015-09-16,33065102,Manolo,"Jana was a very kind and attentive host! The apartment had all the essentials and there were even some goodies waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. Jana's place was the perfect size for my small family (wife + 8 year old son) - and the best part was having in-door parking for our 2 cars. The location is great; right in the heart of everything- you can walk to c-stores, bars, restaurants, concert venues in minutes. We stayed for 1 month and enjoyed every single day. I highly recommend this place and Jana."
5228396,49970543,2015-10-08,7526525,Isamu,"What a place!  What a space!  What a location!!  As a host this drives me to do better,  to add more detail and such.  
We had a great week in Austin and much of it was to the space we called home.  From communication to flexibility Jana was a pleasure to have as a host. Bravo- I would gladly return."

1724144,12795571,2014-05-11,8804050,Jesse,"What a wonderful upstairs apartment. The finishes were beautifully done, and furnished with everything we could have wanted including a washer and dryer. The weather was warm when we were there and the air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable. The outside patio was an added bonus and we enjoyed sitting under the trees sipping wine. The linens were natural cotton and very comfortable. We loved the pillows so much we are going to buy that brand to use at home. Greg was a wonderful host, available when we wanted to chat and giving us complete privacy otherwise. I can highly recommend this apartment and hope to stay there if we are ever back in Austin again."

I would recommending booking far in advance because this place is taken quickly.  Greg and his wife are perfect hosts.  The neighborhood is where one should stay when coming into Austin.  Everything you would want from a hideaway is within walking distance.  There is several great restaurants, market and wine bar.  Not far is the ever so popular Central Market (love to shop for food here).  Finally if you are like me and like to take road trips to visit your son or daughter attending UT-it has everything one needs.  Most importantly a neighborhood which feels like home."
1724144,42940393,2015-08-16,27744925,David,Our second perfect stay. We're looking forward to many more.
1724144,50441572,2015-10-12,27744925,David,"Greg and Carol are wonderful people, always warm and welcoming. I can't imagine better, kinder hosts.  They're there if you need them and give you all the privacy you could want when you don't. This is our go-to place in Austin.  I feel bad writing this because I don't want too many other people to discover it and fill up the calendar with reservations."
7143449,37275521,2015-07-05,2548025,Kathy,My host Mathieu was so easy to work with. He answered my emails promptly and accommodated me on very short notice. His home was beautiful and exceeded my expectations.

My wife had a work function the first night and our host very hospitably invited me to a neighborhood party (as it was Halloween). Overall, a short and pleasant stay in a modern, clean, quiet home. Highly recommend! "

5510293,28236848,2015-03-20,4239520,Pilarm,"I stayed here during SXSW as a last minute work trip and was impressed with Adam's apartment and location, along with his responsiveness.  Located in the Zilker area, the neighborhood was very safe and also extremely convenient to getting downtown either via the walking bridge or a short Uber/car drive.  The apartment itself was brand new with beautiful design aesthetic and all of the necessities from silverware and plates to plush towels, linens, etc.  I would absolutely recommend this place!"
5510293,28364450,2015-03-22,21342322,Saikham And Amy,"Adam was a great host.  My wife, friends and I were there for SXSW and he allowed us to check out way later than most places would so that we could enjoy Austin a little more.  He was always available to answer questions when we needed it."
5510293,28680804,2015-03-28,29247851,Brian,Adam's place was stunning to stay at. The location is perfect for walking (or super cheap ubering) to a ton of great things in Austin while still being tucked away in a cozy quiet neighborhood. Adam was easy to communicate with and a cool guy in general. Highly recommend. 
5510293,28823367,2015-03-30,507501,Beth,"My sister, boyfriend, and I had a great stay in Adam's apartment! He was very easy to work with and responded quickly to inquiries prior to our arrival. Our check-in couldn't have been easier. We were bouncing around on a busy schedule, so didn't have the chance to meet Adam, which was fine, as we had no issues during our stay. Adam gave us all the necessary information we needed. Parking was very easy in this beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We were provided with towels and plenty of bedding. My sister slept on the pull-out couch (which she said was by far the most comfortable pull-out she's ever slept on--(memory foam?)) My bf and I stayed in the bedroom. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this AirBNB to anyone looking for a nice place to stay while in Austin. "
5510293,29084190,2015-04-03,3699946,Jesse,"My wife and I stayed here while visiting Austin and we couldn't be happier. The apt was perfect and Zilker is an awesome neighborhood. It's in walking distance of Zilker park (definitely check out) and several bars/restaurants. $5-10 uber ride to anywhere else you'd want to go. 

Adam is a super friendly (I bumped into him while walking around the neighborhood and chatted a few minutes) but also respectful of our space and let us do our thing. Highly recommended!"
5510293,29680611,2015-04-11,28223279,Grace,"Adam made our stay very easy. We were able to check in early and he was there to show us around! The location is perfect, Zilker Park is walking distance...definitely check out the river pool and spend an afternoon on the river or relaxing in the park. Uber's downtown range from $5 - $10 and are all over the place. The bed and the pullout couch are very comfortable. A few things we noticed while staying was there wasn't a microwave, or coffee pot, and only pots and pans to cook with no Pam, salt and pepper etc., just keep that in mind. Cups, bowls and plates are all provided but only 4 each and  not dishwasher.  The walls are thin so if any banging is happening upstairs is can be heard.  Overall I had a great experience staying here and would recommend it to anyone.  Austin is a great city! I can't wait to visit again!!"
5510293,29927745,2015-04-14,28660981,Monica,"We did not get the meet Adam but I did have to call Adam and he was very responsive and the matter was taken care of right away. The apt location is excellent. It is 5 minutes walk to Uchi, the best sushi restaurant  in Austin! We also played mini-golf at Peter Pan which is less than 10 minutes walk. Wholefoods is about 5 minutes drive. We had a blast !"
5510293,30088891,2015-04-17,29877107,Carrie,What a great experience...I cannot say enough about the house and the neighborhood.  All lovely and so convenient to everything!  I had a car but could have easily survived without one because bike rentals are just down the hill.  This is one house I am excited to visit again! 
5510293,30204614,2015-04-19,9736643,Abby,"Adam was incredibly responsive and check-in was a breeze. The apartment itself was clean and comfy--definitely one of my favorites in Austin! The location is great too, and we were walking distance from my favorite spots off Barton Springs.  I'd jump at the chance to book again. "
5510293,30557324,2015-04-24,11013354,Samara,Beautiful home in a gorgeous neighborhood. Would definitely stay in this lovely place again. Adam was extremely accommodating and there were no issues with our stay.
5510293,30790422,2015-04-27,29820691,Melissa,"Even before I booked, Adam was very responsive and answered all my questions. Once we arrived, we were so pleased. We had our own private entrance and side staircase as well as a patio that we put to use a few times. We really enjoyed walking the neighborhood to both Uchi and Odd Duck (GO TO BOTH!) and Uber's were inexpensive to South Congress and the downtown area. I would recommend this apartment to anyone! "
5510293,30938676,2015-04-29,805812,Robin,"We had a wonderful stay with Adam.  The apartment is private and spacious and has everything you need.  The outdoor area was a nice area to relax and have coffee in the morning.  The apt. Is situated close to all the great things Austin has to offer and a cheap Uber ride away from East 6th.  We especially enjoyed Gibson's bar a recommendation from Adam!
"
5510293,31202352,2015-05-03,30127743,Jackson,"Simple yet stylish and well-equipped apartment--immaculately clean, a private entrance, tucked away but within easy reach of Zilker Park, downtown, South Congress. Strong AC units, great-sleeping king size bed, solid shower, and enough fridge/counter space, pots, and pans to comfortably cook a meal. The outdoor dining set is a nice extra touch. To top it off, Adam greeted my wife and me to Austin with ice-cold Shiner! Cleanest, comfiest Austin property I've rented so far."
5510293,31543188,2015-05-06,1152883,Nathan,"I'm from Austin and came here to stay while visiting my family. You know how it is... close... but not too close, right? Anyway, I'm particular about where I'll stay when I come to Austin and Adam's place is nothing short of fantastic. It's in a great historic old neighborhood surrounded by a cool mix of old and new Austin architecture. It is an easy cab or uber to anything you would want to do downtown or in the city. Adam was a great host and excellent about communicating. 

More importantly, Adam's nontoxic house is the kind of smart, environmentally friendly development that Austin needs. Growth in Austin is inevitable... but that doesn't mean it can't be done well (like Adam's place). I'd stay again for sure. "
5510293,32141931,2015-05-14,13098243,Cristina,"Everything was just as expected with the apartment and the neighborhood is charming.  Too bad it rained so much.  But, it was a nice place to stay indoors too.  Adam made us feel at ease as soon as we arrived.  He made everything easy at check-out.  He even went out of his way to mail us the phone charges we left plugged into his wall outlet. What a nice person!"
5510293,32339220,2015-05-17,8501317,Nohemi,"This was an awesome stay. Perfect for 2 people and a pet lol loved how modern and simple it was. Very clean, had everything we needed. My little merlin  (puppy) enjoyed playing outside. It was just the right amount of space. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and it felt very safe. Would definitely stay here again."
5510293,33091191,2015-05-25,29755368,Megan,We had a good time staying in Adam's home. The location was good- about 1 to 1.5 mile walk to downtown and easy driving distance to other nearby destinations. The home itself was very comfortable and had everything that we needed. The neighborhood seemed really safe. Our only complaint is that the upstairs neighbor was quite loud one evening.
5510293,33793076,2015-06-01,10787317,Inna,"I stayed here with two of my friends for a weekend getaway to Austin. Great, centrally located apartment. Super clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this place! "
5510293,34127967,2015-06-05,26187691,Karen,"We couldn't have asked for a better location! Close to so many great restaurants and cool Austin spots. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The apartment was clean, comfortable and perfect for our 5 day stay (with kids!). Hosts were super responsive and helpful. "
5510293,34283791,2015-06-07,11571467,Stephanie,"The neighborhood was so great! Close in proximity to all Austin things I love... Zilker, Barton Springs, Lamar and South Congress. Adam came and welcomed us upon arrival and provided us with all the information that we could need. He even let us in a couple hours early so that I could drop my dog off while we had appointments in North Austin. Adam was so nice and kept in constant communication throughout the weekend in relation to my dog. Unfortunately, my dog barked and yelped the first night we left for dinner. Adam texted to let me know- he even visited her and reassured my dog to make her stop barking. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! House was great- my favorite part was the shower- SOOOO incredibly comfortable!! "
5510293,34746495,2015-06-11,469339,Gina,Great apartment in a great neighborhood. Adam was very great at communicating and responded quickly to any questions or requests.
5510293,35216212,2015-06-16,1566078,Tom,"We had a wonderful stay, Adam and his girlfriend was very friendly and helpful!"
5510293,35486264,2015-06-19,1164715,Elizabeth,"Great stay! Well kept, sunny yet cool apartment. Easy check-in and out process. Quiet neighborhood. 1/2 mile walk to great food trucks on Barton Springs Rd. Easy Uber ride to downtown. Fair amount of transmitted noise from upstairs part of the house - really only noticed on a day I was there in early evening (weather was horrible, otherwise I would have been out and about). Noise wasn't an issue at night when trying to go to sleep."
5510293,35677417,2015-06-21,33381930,Regina,The home was very well done and clean. Loved the location and neighborhood. Adam was very Quick to respond to questions. Our only issue was the loudness of the stairs above us at night when the guests on the other side came in late night. Enjoyed our visit. 
5510293,36215492,2015-06-26,22176589,Chris,"Super Duper place. Incredible location in great neighborhood. Extra comfy bed with a very nice shower. Adam is a great host and has the place dialed from easy A/C, ceiling fans and a great little patio area. Private entrance with parking right at the bottom of the entry way. Simple, modern with attention to detail. I would definitely stay here again. "
5510293,36376021,2015-06-28,30610078,Edui,The apartment is in a great location pretty much close to everything and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. The place is very private and beautiful.
5510293,37176238,2015-07-05,3805468,Kara,Great place! Excellent location. Especially for July 4th - we could just walk to the park for fireworks versus dealing with traffic. Adam was always responsive and helpful. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. 
5510293,38342954,2015-07-14,2446960,Renee,"Adam's place was perfect for our stay in Austin.  The interior of the house is exactly as shown in the photos and the outdoor space is great for relaxing and taking in some fresh air.  His neighborhood is super quiet and walkable, and its proximity to restaurants, parks, and downtown is difficult to beat.  I should also mention that Adam was extremely hospitable, greeting us as we arrived, and he made himself available when we had questions.  We would definitely recommend his place to others.  "
5510293,38656710,2015-07-17,4327190,Stacey,"
Loved the location of Adam's place. Central to everything and easy to get in/out. Description of the place was exactly how Adam described. "
5510293,39453427,2015-07-23,15939172,Marissa,"We were having car trouble and Adam was extremely comforting by being flexible with check in times. He provided a warm welcome and came out to meet us before we had a chance to call or walk up to the apartment. Adam's recommendations on where to eat and where to take our dogs were exactly what we had hoped to find in Austin. The apartment was very clean, just the right size, and extremely healthy. The neighborhood is tucked away in the perfect spot: close enough to everything Austin has to offer and secluded enough to get a safe and peaceful rest. Adam's apartment is the only place we'd would want to stay in Austin while visiting. "
5510293,39842519,2015-07-26,34944907,Joshua,"This place was pure perfection. It was clean, bright, and beautifully decorated. I would highly recommend staying here. The location was close enough (never paid more than $9 for an uber anywhere we went) yet far enough from the bustle of the city. The neighbor hood was hip but also quiet. We walked to Barton Springs and to some cool restaurants. And the host was very accommodating and sent us a welcome text and told us not to hesitate if we needed anything. Defiantly will be back to stay again! "
5510293,40181102,2015-07-28,28582228,Hannah,"Adam is a great host and very quick to respond to any inquiries. The apartment was great, too. "
5510293,41504982,2015-08-07,7038196,Michel,"Adam was a great host! He was very fast communicating via text/airbnb. His home was just the right size for 2 people. Sheets were clean and smelled like they had been washed the day we arrived. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals and the fan/AC were life savers during the 104 degree weather! 

We only experienced 2 setbacks during our stay. First, the knob that controls the shower broke. Adam was quick to come over and fix it himself so no biggie. Second, our upstairs neighbor (a kid, I'm assuming) was very energetic during our stay. Unfortunately he/she was up pretty early so we were able to hear him/her running around pretty clearly. Now, Adam provides ear pluggers next to the bed, but I never enjoyed the feel of having anything in my ears so.. 

Other than that, great home and great location!"
5510293,42735997,2015-08-15,34915157,Sarah,"Great location, very clean and homey, friendly hosts"
5510293,43153605,2015-08-17,40705578,Mary,"This place was great for weekend near downtown Austin!
Adam is excellent host.  No surprises.  Place was immaculate and just as pictured.  Cool looking ceiling fans!  The neighborhood really nice and safe.  Pedestrian Pfuger bridge a half mile away and Auditorium Shores Park offer the best 360 degree views of Town Lake and downtown in Austin.  Walkable 2 miles to 6th Street.  Bicycling also best way to get around (although you may want to walk bike up the next to last block on short hill up to apartment ;)"
5510293,44291290,2015-08-25,34659355,Linda,"Very accommodating host, quite beautiful neighborhood, apartment was exactly as described."
5510293,44964277,2015-08-30,40501910,Katharine,Adam was an excellent host! Very communicative and helpful with suggestions for our little weekend in Austin. The apartment is in a great location - we walked to dinner both nights. We would absolutely stay here again! 
5510293,45987787,2015-09-07,24365434,Caroline,Adam has such a cool place and it's in an awesome neighborhood. The apartment looks just like the pictures and parking is easy. We walked to Barton Springs and to The ABGB (which I highly recommend). Adam made everything super easy and the place was spotless.
5510293,46792792,2015-09-13,22729959,Kyle,"Easy, clean, professional, no complaints. Listing is nice, really clean, comfy, great AC and walking distance or short uber to everything you need. The apt is a basement wing of the larger house with it's own entrance from a sliding glass door the outside. Good stay, would recommend.  15% state tax surcharge added when we arrived."
5510293,47643374,2015-09-21,1288618,Chris,"The neighborhood is very nice, Whole Foods is about a mile away - there's a great BBQ place (Terry Black's) and burger joint (Shake Shack) within walking distance. The apartment was clean. The cable service was awesome!! DVR, movie channels, sports networks! Perfect for someone who came into town to watch a football game and wanted to rewatch the recording. We'd stay here again next time we go to Austin. "
5510293,49467406,2015-10-04,24938964,Luis,"Great place to stay!
Quick walk to zilker park and awesome view
Defiantly would stay here again!"
5510293,50021499,2015-10-08,9246044,Amy,"Adam was very welcoming when I arrived. I loved the place. It was very clean, modern and minimal. I barely turned on the air conditioning as the place was comfortable and seemed to be well insulated. They have a great little outdoor space to sit or work at with strong internet connection. It is right off of Lamar and close to most things. Easy to get into downtown, SoCo, and Zilker. You can drive, walk,  or ride your bike most places.  If you choose to take an Uber in town it is very quick and cheap. Tons of great restaurants nearby like Uchi and Shake Shack. Adam was very helpful in guiding me to Black Swan Yoga (donation based yoga studio), which you can walk to if need be. The neighborhood is family friendly with many people walking, riding bikes, kids playing, etc. in the evenings. I highly recommend this place and loved my stay here."
5510293,50971546,2015-10-16,10051342,James,Awesome airbnb experience. Would absolutely stay here again. Clean and accommodating. 
5510293,51581775,2015-10-21,13856547,Derrick,"Beautiful space, convenient to everything.  Great communication.  Highly recommend this host and place to anyone."
5510293,52501174,2015-10-30,794114,Hanna,"Great place! Clean, bright, stylish, comfortable. In a beautiful neighborhood on a hill overlooking downtown. It's about a 40 minutes walk, or a 10 minute Uber ride. The host, Adam, left a welcome beer for me in the fridge :) 

Two small things: If you plan on cooking, you'll need to stock up on basics. The kitchen has pots and pans and utensils, but no essentials like olive oil or even salt and pepper (that I could find). And note that the entrance is a little hard to find -- especially in the dark. The apartment is built into the family house, and the entrance is around the corner from the main entrance/driveway. "
5510293,52863780,2015-11-02,22860676,Sura,"The location is amazing and the 1-bedroom space is great! Amazing fans and a/c to keep you cool.  Such a cute neighborhood to stay in and very central to a lot of good restaurants, bars and food trucks.  The unit is attached to a larger house which has quite a few young children (possibly a daycare?) inside. The noise from running and screaming children might wake you up around 7am. I am a heavy sleeper so it wasn't too much of a bother but my boyfriend didn't sleep well. "
8780060,51405183,2015-10-19,11481802,Ramiro,"Awesome townhouse! Neat, clean and had everything we could have needed. Thanks Isaiah!"
8780060,51998930,2015-10-25,34450778,Yulin,Everything worked out very smoothly.  All the descriptions about the place was accurate.  It was actually more than I expect.  Great place and very convenient.  
8145284,47849827,2015-09-21,31625333,Connor,"Three friends and I stayed one night on our way through Austin, and couldn't be more pleased. The home is exactly as pictured, has great provided amenities, is close to downtown, and is a very comfortable place to spend time in Austin.

Communication with Danielle was great, and we appreciate the flexible departure time. I hope the listing will be available next time we're in town, because this is our favorite Airbnb experience to date."
299282,1002129,2012-03-15,1659923,Alison,"Margo was a fantastic host to stay with. She kindly collected me and took me back to the airport (my flights were at really antisocial times), introduced me to the most wonderful wholefoods market (I'm veggie) and was great to hang out with.  I've made a good friend as a result. She introduced me to great breakfasts (which during SXSW in March you really need).

The bedroom was comfy (memory foam mattress), neighbourhood lovely and safe, bus routes no 1 and 5 ran nearby (also night bus back) from downtown (which is only 15 mins away by bus).

if you are looking for a home from home this is the place to stay."
299282,1013793,2012-03-18,211356,Akiko,Margo is a very sweet and generous host. She knows about Austin inside out and makes sure guests will have great time.  
299282,1087558,2012-04-05,2020175,Jacqueline,I stayed with Margo to visit UT Austin. She was a great host and the house is in a great location. She was very accommodating and I felt comfortable throughout my entire visit.
299282,1353544,2012-05-26,2394634,Raul,Margo is a caring and graceful host with a place in the heart of Austin that povide restful sleep as well close proximity to the city's great amenities.  All from a very nice neighborhood.
299282,1818844,2012-07-28,1898772,Josh,"I stayed with Margo for 2.5 weeks en route to moving into an apartment nearby.  From day one Margo was incredibly welcoming, easy going, and made an effort to assure I felt comfortable and at home.  She really made her home my home, and even cooked dinner for me too!  My whole stay was great, and I highly, highly recommend staying with Margo if you have the opportunity."
299282,1949939,2012-08-11,2699703,Josh,"Margo goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. A very friendly person who enjoys being a host. Her place is very homey. Location is good - pretty close to the university and not too far from downtown and the rest of Austin. For the price, she offers a really awesome deal. "
299282,2602258,2012-10-14,2948744,Jian,"Margo is a very nice person. I stayed at her place for 2 months. In the last week of my stay, I got a serious cold. Margo took a good care of me and even cooked me several nice dinners. If  I were in a hotel, it was gonna be a bad experience. Margo always wants to treat her guests in the best way. She definitely made my trip feeling like home. Her place is very comfortable and convenient. Location is good, closed to the UT campus and downtown, two buses are runing in front of the house. The neighbourhood is also nice, clean and quite. I highly recommend staying at her place if you ever have a plan to visit Austin and try to find a nice place. "
299282,2716352,2012-10-25,540850,Julia,"Margo is the best host one could possibly hope for. She is extremely kind, considerate and generous, and her house is very nice and very comfortable. I had to stay a few more days due to hurricane Sandy and she was really understanding and helpful. She offered to pick me up, shared her breakfasts and dinners with me and also took me back to the airport at 4.30 am, which was just too much, so I really can't thank her enough. She is also a great person and I believe anyone would get along with her, so I sincerely recommend her place. She deserves the best. Thank you for everything Margo!"
299282,2801454,2012-11-04,3873196,Kathryn,"I had a great time staying with Margo!  She was super helpful and welcoming, gave me some great recommendations for things to do, and helped show me around town. I would happily stay with her again any time."
299282,2855865,2012-11-11,2232307,Mindy,"Margo was a wonderful, warm hostess.  I felt so welcome in her home.  We spent a couple great nights just talking.  It was really great to be able to connect with someone while I was in Austin.  Her cats are sweethearts too!

The neighborhood is also fantastic.  There is a lot to do right around Margo's place; plenty to see, eat, drink, and experience.  It's very cyclist and pedestrian friendly, which is always a plus, and right on the bus route.

I would stay with Margo again in a heartbeat!"
299282,2925822,2012-11-20,2982675,Mike,"My first Airbnb experience was just great! Margo is super nice and exceeded expectations. Great to talk to, offering lots of help... almost felt like staying with family. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. No negatives about the house at all. The neighborhood is quiet and has a few local stores and eateries within walking distance. Overall, I'm very pleased!"
299282,3034301,2012-12-05,3259980,Bryce & Alexandra,"Margo was the greatest! Warm and welcoming and very sweet. We got into Austin on a weeknight, and though Margo had work the next day, she took us out that evening and showed us around and where to go while in town. Very hospitable and easy going, would recommend staying with her if your'e planning an Austin trip."
299282,3370105,2013-01-19,3473655,Alex,"Margo provided a wonderful introduction to the sights and sounds of Austin, TX. She was a fantastic host with a wonderful personality who made me feel right at home. Her home's ambiance made for a relaxing & fun experience and great access to all the great shops, restaurants, and attractions Austin has to offer young professionals. "
299282,3380285,2013-01-20,4747088,Corban,"Margo's was an amazing host! We appreciated her company, hospitality, and friendliness. We will without a doubt be visiting her again soon."
299282,3530074,2013-02-12,1661870,Ravi,"Margo is a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make me feel at home in her apartment. She let me check in at my convenience. When I arrived, my room was tidy and comfortable.  In addition to having fast wifi service, Margo also let me use her printer. She gave me great advice about local restaurants and places to go. I felt welcome and comfortable during the entirety of my stay. I would highly recommend staying with Margo to anyone visiting the Austin area. The location is ideal, and Margo is someone whom you will be glad you have met."
299282,3645136,2013-02-26,4716680,Mari,"I couldn't have asked for a better host. Margo was extremely helpful, generous and easygoing. I would definitely stay with her again if I am traveling to Austin. "
299282,3699595,2013-03-05,2824944,Kyoko,"Margo is an energetic, helpful and charming lady. The week I stayed was her busiest period for her job. Even she was extremely busy, she tried to have time together. I am very grateful for her hosting me and hoping to see her again. Thank you for everything, Margo!"
299282,3908401,2013-03-26,5086361,Ariel,"This was the first time that I tried Airbnb, and it was a great experience. The space was as advertised — a room in Margo's comfortable little house in a quiet suburb full of young families. The house is an easy bike or bus ride from the University or from the center of town.

More importantly, Margo was a wonderful host. She was so generous with her space, her things, and her time. She was very accommodating and was always asking whether there was anything she could do to make me feel more at home. She really went above and beyond: she picked me up at the airport, let me use her bike, offered me home-cooked food, and gave me advice on what to do in Austin and on how to get around. She is also a warm, interesting person who seems to genuinely enjoy getting to know the people who stay at her home. I'm glad I got an opportunity to meet her."
299282,4310382,2013-04-27,5093414,Jaime,"Margo is the best host one could possibly think of: warm, extremely helpful and generous. She made me feel like her home was also my home since the very beginning of my stay. She helped me getting to know the surroundings, showed me her favorites pubs, markets and restaurants and was also able to solve all the doubts that assault me as a newcomer. She even did her utmost to help me in my housing search, for which I'm really grateful. Oh, and her smoothies were legendary.
Her neighborhood is also the best in town: cozy, safe and very well connected to UT and downtown.
I highly recommend to stay with Margo if you're planning an Austin trip! 

   -------------------------------------------------------------------

Margo es la anfitriona perfecta: acogedora, generosa, constantemente pensando en cómo puede ser de ayuda. Desde el primer minuto me hizo sentir que su casa era también la mía. Me situó en la ciudad, me enseñó sus bares, supermercados y restaurantes preferidos y supo resolverme todas las dudas que me asaltaban como recién llegado a este país. Incluso se desvivió ayudándome a buscar piso, por lo que le estoy también inmensamente agradecido. Ah, y sus batidos son impresionantes.
El barrio donde vive es sin duda el mejor: precioso, arbolado, tranquilo, seguro y muy bien conectado con la Universidad y el centro.
¡Quedarse con Margo es sin duda la mejor opción si vienes a Austin! "
299282,14212964,2014-06-14,6546578,Mark,"Hi Margo, Looks like a great place! Looking forward to staying some day...Mark"
299282,17842011,2014-08-18,16657988,Grace,"I feel so lucky to have Margo as my first host for Airbnb experience and for my new life start in Austin. As a new comer to this city and country, I gained great help from Margo in all aspects of settle down issues, much more than I could expect from a new friend. She has become a ""family member"" to me, as well as her angel-look baby, Lucas, in this amazing city. And I can't love her cute house more. It is just the ideal house I dream of, with high ceiling, spacious rooms, classic furniture, quiet neighbouhood and bus stop at the door..."
299282,20593656,2014-10-01,17355555,Daiju,Margo and her baby Lucas are the best host family in Austin. I had an amazing time with Margo and Lucas even though I am not good at speaking English. I really want to eat Margo's dinner and play with Lucas again! And her place is much more convenient and quiet than what I expected. Easy to take a bus and close to grocery store. They also have spacious room and softy big bed. I will never forget the great memory with Margo and Lucas. Arigatou! 
299282,24127417,2014-12-20,24917533,Robert,"What a beautiful historical home, I enjoyed everything about the stay. This was my 1st airbnb experience and I must say I'm sold and will definitely use this site in the future due to Margo's excellent hospitality.  The listing is very accurate and the Hyde Park neighborhood is safe, peaceful and full of gastronomic treats.  Margo was very helpful and full of good advice. A truly memorable experience.  Highly recommended. "
299282,26157560,2015-02-05,22860792,Ambar,"This is a great home to stay when you are in Austin. The house is really beautiful, the room is spacious and the neighbourhood is absolute lovely. It`s a safe and beautiful place, near the UT and the buses. Talking about Margo, she is an amazing hostess. She will make sure you have everything you need, and ride with her car whenever it is possible. Her son is lovely and really friendly and happy kid. I will definitely stay again with Margo and Lucas!"

Make sure you bring enough time to enjoy all the insider experiences Margo has to suggest. You must stay here if in Austin!"
299282,31795497,2015-05-10,30373008,Sasa,"Margo is an excellent host and a nice person. Margo’s place is really beautiful and its location is superb (it is located in a beautiful and quiet Hyde Park area).  My stay in Austin as well as first experience with airbnb have both proven to be great thanks to Margo’s hospitality. Margo has been most helpful with almost any kind of inquiry I had (and I had a few of these since I arrived from Europe). Her knowledge of local life and places is impressive. She is very social person – in this sense, she was happy to share some good food, coffee and wine. It goes without saying that I am really happy about my stay at Margo’s and I am absolutely confident that staying at Margo’s would be a great choice for anyone visiting Austin.

Margo je odlicna domacica i veoma fina osoba. Njena kuca je veoma lepa i sa fenomenalnom lokacijom (nalazi se u prelepom i tihom “Hyde Park” kraju). Moj boravak u Ostinu (Austin-u) kao i moje prvo iskustvo sa airbnb-om su ispali odlicno zahvaljujuci Margo i njenom gostoprimstvu. Margo je rado pomagala sa svim pitanjima i zahtevima koje sam ja imao (a imao sam ih par sa obzirom da sam dosao iz Evrope). Njeno poznovanje lokalnog zivota i mesta je impresivno. Ona je druzeljubiva osoba, koje ce rado spremiti i podeliti sa gostom  odlicnu hranu, kafu i pice. Ja sam veoma zadovoljan sa mojim boravkom kod Margo, i 100% sam siguran da bi skoro svako bio prezadovoljan boravkom kod Margo tokom posete Ostinu (Austin-u).
"
299282,34582727,2015-06-09,32864320,Marna,"Margo was a most gracious hostess, going out of her way to make us feel at home. She took extra steps to accommodate my partner's diabetic diet."
299282,50589826,2015-10-12,46017102,Drew,"""Warm"" is the best word to embody and describe Miss Margo's personality and her halcyon home. The surrounding neighborhood is idyllic, serene, very quiet and quite safe. I feel safe to even sleep through the night on the hammock out in the yard. She accommodates you in any way possible, from providing a bike for transportation to making a simple yet awesome, hearty breakfast for you in the morning. & although it is quiet, the sounds you will usually hear traveling through a house surprisingly isn't really heard in that one. She's a very insightful person to converse with; she has wonderful personal stories that are great to listen to and learn from, and is knowledgeable of the spots to eat, shop and explore around her area and the city. & she knows the best way to get there, of course. Such a wise, open-minded person, her son will be very proud of his mother when he gets older and learns about her. I personally felt I was in paradise staying there. I feel I made a life-long extended family-friend I'm compelled to stay in touch and bed with in the future. "
5279547,28414715,2015-03-23,27106968,Morgan,"We were very excited about the house - The photos were awesome and the location was great. And for the most part the house did not disappoint. Very awesome vibe, comfortable beds, amazing lighting, and cool decor. We cooked brunch one morning and it was so fun to cook in such a great space. 

However, there were two issues. First, the house access code. Each time I received an email prior to my stay, the field where the house access code should have been was blank, despite stating ""here is your access code:"" I noticed this issue immediately and messaged the host who provided me with the access code. On the day of my stay I spoke to someone on the phone who verified the code. Unfortunately, when we got there the code didnt work. We frantically waited on hold for over 10 minutes on an automated line when none of our messages were returned. After getting someone on the line we were provided with at least 5 different codes, the last code finally worked. However, this experience was unsettling. The second issue was the property is listed as a 2 bedroom 2.5 bath. It only has 1 bath. This was disappointing. Other than those issues, it was in a great spot and is renovated and has a very Austin-type feel. "
5279547,33597059,2015-05-30,11512917,Reilly,We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful residential neighbourhood. Easy drive to the rest of Austin. We were a group of three and the house had everything we needed. Love the design as well.
5279547,33948105,2015-06-02,2561640,Daniel & Judyta,"The house was perfect. Very cool interior and all the appliances you could ever need.
The location was great. Close to the hip streets with great shops and awesome food trucks, as well as nice park areas. I recommend renting a bike (we had great ones from ""Austin Bike Tours and Rental""). It's definitely the most convenient and fun way getting around in Austin!
OK, back to the house: the garden was a beautiful little oasis. We didn't barbecue, but there is a grill if you feel like it.
So, if you want to stay in Austin and feel like a local, stay in that house, you'll love it!"
5279547,35265204,2015-06-16,26226456,Nicholas,"Had a great time. Lovely place, great location and clean! "
5279547,47726908,2015-09-21,2081871,Anna,"Our 14-month old girl loved toddling around this open floor plan. It's located in a friendly neighborhood and walking distance to coffee shop and food trucks.  We enjoyed our stay very much!   

Thank you,
Anna"
5279547,49104461,2015-10-01,4106500,Angela,"Working with Erica and her team was super easy. They responded very quickly and made our stay trouble free. 

The house was so great and exactly as the photos. The area was really lovely and close to all our favourite spots. 

Super clean and lots of extra towelling and extras. Absolutely loved it and would stay here again for sure.  "
5279547,51063806,2015-10-17,9962411,Paul,Very clean and modern flat in a great location. It was easy to book and arrange the key pickup and communicate with Erica. I would highly recommend this listing :) 
5279547,51810088,2015-10-24,4530725,Pilar,Beautiful home.  Even roomier than pictures show.  Everything is in perfect condition.  Location is incredibly convenient.  Coordination with Erica/TurnKey was seamless.
564424,28132295,2015-03-18,21532895,Jesper,"We had a very pleasant stay at Albertos. It was a clean and comfortable house, where everything worked fine. Cool beers and Water in the fridge, when wearriwed was an extra plus for our South by Southwest experience .-)"
3828744,21261307,2014-10-13,6153043,Janine,"I went to Austin for a long weekend to attend ACL. The townhome is in a very quiet neighborhood, but close to everything. The loft was very comfortable and clean. Sara and her roommates were wonderful hosts, and a lot of fun to hang out with. I highly recommend!"
3828744,22222017,2014-11-01,22006837,Andrea,"Sara and her roommates were very accommodating. The loft was comfortable and fit two well on the futon. They were friendly and helpful about ATX info. Really enjoyed chatting with them. Their apt/condo was really clean. Our favorite thing about this Airbnb was the location to downtown (less than 5 min). Super sweet ladies, will probably stay with them again at some point when we are in town. "
3828744,22281093,2014-11-02,23067677,Tom,"Sara and her housemates were really hospitable. The house is also in a great location not far from downtown. All in all, a great stay and very straight forward."
3828744,27566318,2015-03-07,2122148,Ari,"Sara and her roommates are wonderful hosts, very warm and welcoming and willing to help out their guests!  Within a few minutes of my arrival, we were sharing drinks and talking about music and stuff to do in town.

The listing looks just like it does in the pictures, and the bed is very comfy.  I was able to borrow a bike for my visit to get around town, and Sara actually took me on a brief tour of downtown and the campus, which was very appreciated.

The spot isn't the most central, but if that's not a problem for you, you can't go wrong with these girls."
3828744,28089032,2015-03-17,13478020,Matthew,"Sara and her roommates were very welcoming the entire length of our stay. My co-founder and I were visiting Austin for SXSW, and we found this place to be the perfect balance of price and location. When we first arrived, they had chocolate-chip scones for us, which was very sweet of them. Throughout our stay, the girls were available to us if we needed anything and yet they kept us to ourselves. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a low-key spot that's super affordable and has some nice people to make sure you feel welcome."
3828744,28240243,2015-03-20,29450615,Chapman,Sara and her roommates were great hosts. Very friendly. They made you feel at home and were available for any help I had. The room is spacious and the bed is quite comfortable. It's not right downtown but a quick drive. I would definitely recommend this airbnb.
3828744,28368986,2015-03-22,29604107,Amber,Sara and her roommates were awesome hosts to my boyfriend and I. The loft is exactly the way the pictures look and very cozy. The hospitality was the best! 
3828744,30360818,2015-04-20,31252089,Roberta,Sara and her roommates were great hosts! They even let my sister stay over when she got rained in and couldn't make it back to San Antonio. The location is pretty central and the room is just as described. Thanks Sara!
3828744,31277504,2015-05-03,29488815,Fabrice,"Good place to stay, didn't stay too long but this was a great place to come too and sleep."
3828744,39466270,2015-07-23,26514895,Ad,"Felt like coming home.. 
Gave me just that little bit extra when visiting Austin for 2 days.
Nice little loft in a quiet and peaceful apartment just outside the city center. I would definitely come back again and recommend this to everybody that's looking for a place to stay in Austin."
3828744,46095791,2015-09-07,5787254,Julien,"Go for it ! Sara, Amanda and Lanis are just amazing people to meet. They show me around Austin and were very friendly with me. I will undoubtedly go back. "
3828744,47940841,2015-09-21,1356328,Ken,"Sara wasn't around on the night I stayed over, but her 2 roommates were. Both Amanda and Lanis were super welcoming, and treated me as if I was just a friend staying over for the night. I had a great experience."
3828744,49640858,2015-10-05,3854076,Hassaan,"Had a wonderful stay with Sara in Austin. I was in town for the first ACL weekend with a friend. Check in/out was very smooth/flexible. Sara and her roommate are great hosts - friendly, welcoming, engaging. We attended the festival together and hung out afterwards. The loft is as advertised, a comfortable space in a nice area of Austin (close to Zilker). There's a great coffee spot right up the street. Would certainly stay again."
3828744,50105373,2015-10-09,40678357,Mikael,"This was my second experience with Airbnb, Sara and her roommates really made it a good experience, they gave us really good tips and advice what restaurants and bars to visit and not. The location was good and we used Uber wherever we wanted to go, the pool in the area was also a big plus in the heat during the days. Would certainly stay again!"
3828744,50449530,2015-10-12,40620661,Ruairi,"The girls were very friendly and welcoming, and the loft area was clean and comfortable. The location is a short uber to downtown. The bed was slightly uncomfortable for those over 6ft, since the end of the bed has a foot board. For couples the loft room is not private, it overhangs the living room and kitchen. It lacks a wall on the living room side, just a railing open to the rest of the apartment. The biggest issue was that the entire apartment has only one toilet/bathroom. I had assumed the one toilet/bathroom referred to in the Airbnb description was specifically within the loft room. The guys had some additional friends and partners staying over some nights which took the amount of people sharing one bathroom to an uncomfortable amount. This room is perfect for a single person traveling through Austin. "
3828744,51175396,2015-10-18,7788441,Annie,"Unfortunately I did not get to meet Sara in person as she was not home the weekend I stayed, but she was an absolute breeze to work with! She always answered my questions in a timely manner, and was also able to accommodate my last minute request to book. Her and her roommates' place is super convenient for tourists as mostly everything is less than a 15 minute drive away. Her place is as described as in the description! "
3828744,51964239,2015-10-25,29985028,Tyler,"I booked Sara's loft for the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend. Communication was easy and even though the storms delayed my flights, Sara was understanding and accomodating. The place was clean and conveniently located close to the airport, COTA and South Congress. If you're looking for a clean, cost effective spot while in Austin, don't hesitate to hit her up! "
7918922,52068342,2015-10-26,937989,Douglass,"Our stay was delightful. The house was very well appointed, spotless, and perfect for our needs.

8084195,49836224,2015-10-06,44866215,Shawn,"This place is impeccable!  Everything about this Modern home is perfect.  Each bedroom had it's own bathroom and it was incredibly clean. The layout accommodates a group with ease.  The outdoor lounge areas (2 of them!) were like sitting in a tree house with a ton of privacy.  It's super close to everything; Zilker, Lamaer, Town Lake, South Congress.  David was a great host and wanted to make sure our stay was top notch.  We will definitely be back.  Worth ALL the money.  Thanks again David!!  "

Bonus - The little food store Mary Pops around the corner is great for a quick delicious breakfast!  

"
8402953,51559006,2015-10-21,22894350,Jay,"Patrick was a wonderful host -- extremely communicative and proactive about making sure that I had all of the information I needed as a guest. He really went out of his way to make me feel at home and was incredibly accommodating and flexible to make my stay as easy and comfortable as possible.

The place itself was great -- clean and comfortable and just a short walk from UT campus, which was really convenient for me, since I was attending a conference there. I'd happily stay at this listing again."
927644,3783096,2013-03-14,5085291,Kristen,"You cannot get any better than this location if you are looking to stay in the downtown Austin area!  But more than that, Dan was such a pleasure to coordinate all this with.  He is extremely accommodating, hospitable, and definitely goes above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of!

The apartment is just lovely, well managed, and can't really think of anything negative to say!  Definitely recommend and definitely will be back. "
927644,4286711,2013-04-24,3301770,Lynn,"Dan was a very accommodating host and so easy to book with! Couldn't ask for more. Clean, neat and little things in place that you may not have thought of before you needed them. Really nice. The location of this place is perfect, when we were hanging out in Austin we never once took a cab, everything you want is within walking. Would definitely come here again and recommend to friends. Overall great experience!"
927644,4498780,2013-05-08,448719,Martin,"Dan has been a formidable host. His place is clean and relatively roomy. For anyone attending a conference, this place cannot be better located, it is actually closer to the conference center than any hotel. Thanks Dan!"
927644,4861587,2013-05-29,5190677,Katie,"Dan was very friendly and kind.  He was easy to communicate with and quick to respond and left us clear instructions about the house and great tips for things to do in Austin.

The place is in an amazing location--right next to the Convention Center, within walking distance of all the cool restaurants and bars downtown, Congress Street Bridge (to see the bats), CVS, public transport, and the $1 bus to/from the airport.  

The apartment itself is cozy.  It doesn't receive a lot of natural light and I don't think it's air conditioned (although maybe I just didn't see where to turn it on), but my friend and I were comfortable there.  Dan left shampoo/conditioner in the shower and even a toothbrush and toothpaste in the bathroom!

Overall, a great place!"
927644,5612624,2013-07-08,4887562,Akash,"Great apartment that was extremely close to the convention center. Very clean, and the air conditioning was effective in beating the summer heat. Would definitely stay here again!"

927644,8078837,2013-10-15,3462569,Meredith,"Had a great stay at Dan's place in Austin! The location is amazing - just two blocks from the bars/restaurants on 6th street and a short walk to the Republic Square shuttle to ACL. Even though one day of ACL got rained out, we had a great time.

Dan made the entire process really easy, with super-clear directions for getting to the condo and getting the keys. He even left some maps and menus from local restaurants laying around for us. "

Dan is a great host too -- he left detailed instructions for the TV/stereo, access codes, and a map with some of his neighborhood favorites (which included some gems you wouldn't necessarily visit otherwise) -- and we would definitely recommend and stay here again.  He definitely puts in the effort to make you feel at home.  "

We had three staying in the apartment, and everyone was comfortable. Dan was a wonderful host, checking in to make sure everything was ok and making sure we didn't need anything.

If you're looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend this apartment. Looking forward to staying there next year."

Fish not a problem."

The apartment is so quiet and comfortable. I had a wonderful stay. The back deck is wonderful for morning coffee or an evening beer and Dan's sweet little dogs were very friendly and liked to come say hi when they saw me. Loved the sky-lights and appreciated the private entrance. The location was fantastic for me - a calm residential area close to all the parts of South Austin and Zilker that I love. I would be happy to rent from Mr. Dan again."
104099,895799,2012-02-01,578816,Scottie,"I just moved to Austin and booked the Zilker Guesthouse for a month.  I have to say staying at the Zilker Guesthouse was wonderful, the location is great, close to everything, and Zilker is one of Austin's best neighborhoods. The guesthouse itself was like a second home, very comfortable, and the host, Daniel, was amazing.  He is full of information about Austin's history  and had great recommendations on events and places to go in town.  I highly recommend Zilker Guesthouse to anyone.

"
104099,1157565,2012-04-21,1512318,Robert,"I was very fortunate to spend almost three months at the Zilker Guesthouse. Dan is such a friendly, accommodating person, always trying to make your stay more enjoyable... for example, finding sodas, bagels, and cookies in the apartment after a long flight to Texas?! Yeah, great stuff. Also, Dan is very knowledgable about Austin, and I really appreciated his recommendations on all the places to go and things to do in town. The Guesthouse itself is quiet, very comfortable and conveniently located in a residential area close to South Lamar and Zilker Park. 

Dan's Guesthouse was the perfect place for me to start exploring the great city of Austin, and I highly recommend it to any visitor. Hope to be back soon :-)"
104099,1234125,2012-05-06,1992207,Kathy,"Staying at Dan's was a fabulous experience.  The guesthouse is very private, clean and comfortable.  I loved all the windows and skylights that let natural light in to fill the space.  The neighborhood is very charming and conveniently located.  Dan was a great host and his dogs were very sweet, stopping by to hang out with us a little bit everyday."
104099,1278898,2012-05-14,2111217,Ann,"The Zilker Guesthouse is a great choice for your trip to Austin. Located in South Austin, you are near tons of unique restaurants and shops and entertainment is at an arms length. If you are looking to enjoy what downtown Austin has to offer, it is a $15 cab ride, so no issue there.

Daniel is a great host. He and his brood of wiener dogs greet you as if you are part of the family. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us! Everything in the house was easy to use and very clean. I loved the electronically controlled skylights! Daniel is also very accessible, so if there are any issues, he can help you solve them. 

The backyard is beautiful at the house. Whether you want a quiet weekend or an adventurous one, the Zilker Guesthouse is a great homebase. 

Another note is that this is a great deal. Staying in downtown Austin will really cost you. This is a great value for what you pay and close to everything!

I highly recommend!"
104099,1319775,2012-05-21,2282357,Guillermo,"Daniel was a great host. The guesthouse is very comfortable, clean and well located. I would definitively recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in Austin. 

It's far better than a hotel and the price is very reasonable. "
104099,1377069,2012-05-29,2389518,Christina,"Daniel was an excellent host!  We arrived late on Sat night, but he didn't mind at all and was ready to walk us through the house when we got there.  We had everything we needed and then some.  Daniel had the fridge stocked with sodas and bottled water, and he even had a bottle of wine for us!  We enjoyed chatting with him and petting the precious doggies.  Austin is a very cool place to get away for the weekend and his house was close to everything we wanted to do.  "
104099,1449071,2012-06-10,2237979,Elizabeth,Daniel was a great host and even gave me a ride home from the grocery store! The guest house is lovely. 
104099,1612090,2012-07-02,2514601,Judie,"After a terrible 12 hr. flight from NY & arriving @ 2am, it was a pleasure to walk into the Zilker Guesthouse & find a clean,welcoming space. There was a bottle of wine waiting , bagels & much more. Dan is the perfect innkeeeper, his travels around the world has left him with an understanding of what his guests need.
After a much needed nights rest in the great king sized bed, we awoke to see how bright the guesthouse is with all the skylights & a great outdoor deck with a view of his great gardens.
We soon met ""guest services"" (his 4 friendly Dashound) & looked forward to their am patrols.
The location is central to everything but in a nice quiet neighborhood, we would definitely return to stay.
                                                                               "
104099,2183564,2012-09-03,3322672,Georganna,"My Husband & I wanted to spend my Bday & Labor day weekend in Austin but not at a hotel - we wanted a different, more laid back experience. After all, isnt' that what Austin is all about?  And bly, did we pick the right place.  Dan's place was just what we needed. Convenient to have other rooms for my husband to go to while I sleep in and I couldn't even hear him.   Can't do that in a hotel room.  Dan had a bottle of wine for us - easy, simple house instructions and was super friendly. And the guard dogs - well, let's just say I was tempted to pack them up and bring them back home w/ me.    They were definitely a treat to have around as I have 2 myself.   No question - we'll be calling Dan again for our next trip!  "
104099,2752051,2012-10-29,3870600,Doug,Dan was great host.  This was our first Airbnb stay and we loved it.  The house was very comfortable and located in a great neighborhood.  .  We would stay at Dan's place again.
104099,2841095,2012-11-08,4015398,Dan,"Daniel was an exuberant host, making us feel very welcome while sharing his vast knowledge of Austin. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Texas."
104099,2881901,2012-11-13,781268,Alex,"Nice place, just as advertised.  Nice guy, just as expected.  I'd definitely stay again."
104099,2972925,2012-11-26,4149320,Don,"Unique situation for us for the Thanksgiving Holiday visit since the family home was only 1 block away.  What a great little house - perfect for us inside and out. We were sooooo comfortable. Dan was a  gracious host and very accommodating . Great experience. 

Sam and Don"
104099,3051655,2012-12-09,4160774,Aldie,"Just a wonderful Guesthouse - highly recommend to anyone!  Daniel is a gracious host - starting with the welcoming bottle of wine, cool bottled water,  and a very large Texas apple!  The location is excellent and the residential neighborhood is quiet and extremely safe.  Lots of space - pretty deck and fun-to-pet/play with his 4 friendly dachsunds (outside on the deck!).  We hope to come back for another stay very soon.  Thanks, Daniel! "
104099,3234331,2013-01-02,837266,Scott,"Daniel responded quickly to my last-minute request, and his guesthouse was great! It's conveniently located near Barton Springs and Zilker Park, and just a short drive to downtown. Comfortable and clean, I'll definitely be recommending it to friends for their visits to Austin!"
104099,3330807,2013-01-12,3457257,Ken,"Daniel is a great host and the apartment is wonderful. Lots of room with a king sized bed, very comfortable linens, walk in closet, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet but within walking distance to a convenient bus stop that will take you downtown in just minutes. There is private backyard with 2 entrances to the guest house. I provided a grocery list to Daniel a few days before my stay and when I arrived the fridge was stocked with the items I needed. He even let me borrow his bike for a trip to nearby Zilker Park which is beautiful. The experience was fantastic from start to finish. I have no regrets and will definitely stay here again if I ever get back to Austin. Thanks Daniel."
104099,3970255,2013-04-01,3107786,Connie,We had a GREAT 2 months at Daniel's Guest House.  He was a great host:  helpful with ideas for getting around town; shared fruit bowls with us!; added flowers to our dining table!  And the rooms were VERY comfy (king size bed!); full kitchen (we cooked a lot); shady patio; lots of windows.  And 4 friendly pups to keep us company.  We hope to stay again soon. And Airbnb is a safe place to reserve thru also.
104099,4249322,2013-04-22,3735308,Jo,"We loved our stay at the Guesthouse!!  This will be our ""new"" favorite place to stay when we visit AustIn!!  Great location, and great host.... Thank you Dan!!!  "
104099,6963359,2013-09-01,7558733,Robbie,"We really enjoyed our stay in Austin, and even though the city has a lot to offer what really made our stay great was Daniel and the Zilker Guesthouse. Great neighborhood, close to downtown, with everything that you need close by. Daniel quickly became a good friend, and took great care of us making sure we had everything we needed. The bed is a heavenly cloud, the apartment has charm, and the kitchen has everything you need to dine at home. If you are ok with 4 wiener dogs and a very friendly next door neighbor then there is nowhere I would recommend more."
104099,8077508,2013-10-15,6375984,Vanessa,What a fab stay we had with Daniel over 2nd weekend of ACL.  Stayed in the guesthouse which was essentially a retreat in a quiet neighborhood near Zilker Park and SoCo district.  Daniel had many little treats up his sleeve for us. He was most hospitable.  Would recommend staying here in a heartbeat. Will plan to visit again.
104099,8213197,2013-10-21,957675,Vance,"Zilker Guesthouse was the perfect home for our first visit to Austin! Daniel is a champion host and a really nice guy. He runs a super professional airbnb operation and is very knowledgeable about the city and its history. He helped make our 3-day weekend extra enjoyable with great recommendations and even a couple of rides. Daniel also loaned us bikes for an afternoon ride, which was above and beyond our expectations and the listing.

As for the guesthouse, it faces a lovely yard with large windows and tons of sunlight. Super comfortable couch and living area with a big kitchen. Another nice touch - Daniel left us some welcome food and coffee for our first morning, plus fresh flowers - all class.

The king bed is *very* comfortable and the bathroom is nice and clean with a great shower. Overall the house is appointed and decorated very nicely and has everything you'll need for your stay. 

Located in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful trees and landscaping, you can walk to S Lamar Blvd and a bit further to South Congress. Tons of coffee, breakfast and taco places around as well as some great restaurants.

Daniel has 4 dachshunds and they are very friendly and fun to play with. Lots of laughs as they patrolled the grounds. 

My wife and I would definitely stay at the guesthouse again. For everything you get and the location, this is just a great deal for staying in Austin. Thanks Daniel!"
104099,8622368,2013-11-09,3966661,James,"I was seeking a calm and quiet place to work between Austin business meetings and found it at the Zilker Guesthouse.  Dan is the consumate host: right there when you need help or information, but unobtrusive when you need solitude and uninterrupted hours of work.  As delightful side benefits, Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are a quick walk down the hill when you need to think and walk and breathe fresh air.  Highly recommended.  J."
104099,9033157,2013-12-02,9881,Valarie,"Our stay at Daniel's guesthouse was consistent with all the great reviews we had read about it.  It is in fact a mother-in-laws's suite attached to his home.  The separate entrance was nice, and we felt that we had adequate privacy.  The suite is well-appointed, spacious and has a well-equipped kitchen.  The king bed was comfortable, and the bedroom had a roomy closet, as well.  The location was great for us as our daughter lives nearby.  We would be happy to stay here again."
104099,10079367,2014-01-29,10675756,Diane,"Daniel is a very considerate host. From the bowl of fresh fruit salad when we arrived to a hug goodbye as we left he showed concern for our well being.  His guesthouse is clean, cozy and comfortable. (Good thing since two of our days started out as ""snow days"").
He provided printed tourist information plus gave us additional suggestions once he knew our interests.
He was also quick to attend to the few questions we had about the guesthouse. We were very satisfied with our experience."
104099,11862805,2014-04-17,83051,Manuela,"Our stay at the Zilker Guesthouse was absolutely amazing. Daniel is a fantastic host, he is a real gem! Wonderfully sweet, he had flowers for us when we arrived, and different treats during our stay; one day we came back to find fruit salad in our fridge, another he brought us some bread budding he had just made. The house itself is extremely comfortable, with all you need for cooking and hanging out. We spent way more time at home that I would have imagined, and it was totally worth it! His dogs are incredibly sweet too, and anytime I needed an instant smile, I would go have them shower me with love. I'm sure if you're not a dog person, though, you would hardly even see them. I absolutely recommend this place, and we will certainly be back soon."
104099,12005778,2014-04-21,8771021,Michele,"My parents came to Austin for the first time, and spent a very relaxing and pleasant weekend, staying at Daniel's place at Zilker. Thank you, Daniel! The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and super convenient. We couldn't ask for more. Can't wait to return!! "
104099,12368844,2014-04-30,2339222,Christine,"My fiancee and I were in town for a family wedding. The location was great — right in the middle of all the events. Everything was about 10 mins away. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. Zilker Park is minutes away; definitely check that out if you are in the area, it's beautiful. Daniel was a great host. As mentioned in other reviews, he brought us fresh fruit as well. He was great with communication. If we had any questions, Daniel was quick to respond and took care of any concerns we had. His five pups are adorable and will visit often :) Would love to stay again if we are ever in the area. This home is highly recommended!"
104099,12622896,2014-05-06,7706160,Jeff,"We just spent 4 nights at this little gem. The Guesthouse was a perfectly planned and executed space. There was so much light in the living room, kitchen and bedroom, which suited us well. It was spacious and well furnished. The back yard was in bloom and attractively landscaped. Our host Daniel greeted then gave us the 'tour', and brought us a fresh fruit bowl. It was such a quiet space and area yet within a few block of Lamar with all its restaurants. Did I mention it was meticulously maintained and clean? It was. We will be back."
104099,12815405,2014-05-12,11865495,Susan,"We love the Zilker Park Guesthouse.  It was very clean and spacious, with a big closet and lots of shelves in the bathroom to store stuff.  The bed is really comfortable with a lot of good quality pillows.  The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook and Daniel left a fruit salad in the fridge for us when we arrived. The yard is beautiful and we enjoyed having breakfast out on the deck every morning.  I love the south Austin neighborhood the Guesthouse is located in, it's quiet and great for walking.  Daniel is an excellent host, he greeted us when we arrived and gave us some great suggestions for dining and entertainment. We will definitely be staying at the Guesthouse next time we visit Austin."
104099,13204463,2014-05-21,12480235,Jena,The reservation was canceled 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
104099,16954150,2014-08-04,7743224,Matt,"My younger brother and I stayed at Daniel's ""Zilker Guesthouse"" for a long weekend with the intent of just taking it easy in Austin for a few days and experiencing all of the city's good food and green spaces...this booking really became the underpinning that helped us achieve those lofty goals! 

Daniel is an exceptional inn keeper providing many interesting stories and Austin recommendations as well as being a very welcoming and super friendly person. The accommodations were clean and cozy with a great back patio surrounded by a well kept, lush green space to facilitate relaxing, listening to the birds, and enjoying the all important morning cup o' joe within. Any venture into the backyard was greeted by 5 very friendly four-legged residents that loved to get their bellies rubbed and were always happy to offer up some laid-back company. 

From this south-central Austin location, it was very quick and easy to take a taxi into downtown, get to Zilker Park or Barton Springs, and drive to most anywhere in Austin quickly. One of my main motivations for spending the weekend in Austin was to experience multiple floats in sensory deprivation tanks at the Zero Gravity Institute, probably the world's top-ranking float spa, and is located only 1 mile south of the Zilker Guesthouse.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Zilker Guesthouse, and I am planning to return upon my next trip to Austin. Thanks Daniel for your hospitality and I look forward my next lodging at the Zilker Guesthouse!"
104099,17395772,2014-08-11,177032,Jennifer,"Dan's Guesthouse is simply an oasis in the middle of Austin! Dan himself is a seasoned host and traveler so the listing has every comfort of home and detail you would expect of even the best of hotel stays - luggage rack, extension cords, fully equipt kitchen, etc...  The guesthouse is adjoined to Dan's main house but provides just enough privacy when you want it and help  from Dan when you need it.  Dan knows Austin like the back of his hand so he is the best host to have if you're a new arrival to the city as my husband and I were.  The location is great and just about a mile from everything interesting that Austin has to offer and the house itself is spacious and bright - the perfect base and landing pad for new arrivals to Austin, for short or extended stays.  Dan's menagerie of friendly dogs will also keep you company during your stay (when you invite them over, of course!) - they were truly a delight as we were missing our own pup after months of traveling. Overall, do not hesitate to book this space - you will just love it!  "
104099,18034549,2014-08-20,265433,Ken,Daniel met me even though I got in later than expected.  The place was even better than I had anticipated.  The neighborhood was peaceful and convenient.
104099,20552488,2014-10-01,11863112,Mike,"Daniel and the crew (his ""therapy"" dogs) were most gracious hosts for my stay at his Zilker Guesthouse.  Communication was quick and complete prior to my arrival, and there was even a little fruit salad waiting in the fridge.  The quarters were spotless and clean, and there was a well-stocked kitchen if you prefer eating in.  Everything was in good repair.  Be aware that, like most of Austin, it would be a bit of a hike to public transport.  But no worries, there is plenty of parking available on the street.  "
104099,21276368,2014-10-14,9850503,Katelyn,"The Guesthouse was a great place to stay.  The apartment was clean and just as described in the listing and the comments.  Daniel was a hands on host and very available for any questions or needs.  He readily provided tips, directions and recommendations for these first-timers in Austin.  Communication was also easy.  Daniel was flexible with our check in times and was helpful upon arrival with keys and had house instructions/wifi info printed out.  We had Daniel's number to call or text him for anything, or he was usually around next door/in the back yard as this is an attached in-law apartment.   There are laundry facilities, however they are not in this guesthouse and require some coordination with Daniel and the other tenants in the other apartment to use.   All in all a great place to stay!"
104099,24325329,2014-12-26,20807816,Kevin & Alex,"Let's begin with the fruit salad. Nothing has made us feel more at home than a bowl of fresh fruit waiting in the fridge. What a wonderful way to welcome guests to your home! Our host, Dan, not only stayed up and met us personally when we arrived from our late flight he also provided a map, local newspapers, suggestions and excellent conversation. His four fabulous dogs (in charge of Customer Service) were sweet and attentive. We loved waking up and having Jack, Jill, Pippa and the soulful smiles of Solo greet us in the backyard. The neighborhood is lovely, with easy access to shopping and dining nearby. This was our first trip to Austin and we look forward to coming back!"
104099,24583485,2014-12-31,16177562,Kimberly,"The guest house was even better than described and was the perfect set-up for us.  The closet was so big (modest walk-in) that our just 7 year old claimed the room for herself and we had a second little bedroom all for her. There are large windows all across the back and side of the unit that look out onto the green backyard and let in tons of light- really beautiful and peaceful. Daniel was completely the gracious host, dropping off fresh-baked muffins, fruit and the paper during our stay. Of course, the dogs were ready to entertain or stay for a pat on demand and whenever there was an enthusiastic kid or adult nearby. Overall a great place to stay!"
104099,25387208,2015-01-14,11421942,Lydia,"Daniel was very flexible about when we arrived, and was very friendly and informative. This was a perfect place for our week long visit. The bedroom was beautiful with a great bed, the living room was a good size with a great deal of light, the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to spend time there very comfortably and had the relatives in town over to spend time, and it was also an excellent location for getting around the city, everything was close by. The weather was terribly cold when we were there, but at warmer times the outdoor space would have been great. (We only wished we could have seen more of the dogs.) It is Texas, so a car was a big help, but we also definitely liked that it wasn't in the midst of the big buildings in the rather oppressive downtown. 
Smaller points: very fancy lighting system we were envious of, combo microwave/convection oven great--check instructions, and big couch was good for putting our relatives on, very soft, maybe too much so. Daniel provided shampoo which I stole by mistake. Also, coffee, fruit, and cookies. Thank you, Daniel, for a great stay."
104099,25608347,2015-01-20,19810688,Susan,Great location and nice place.  Bed was super comfy!  Daniel is a great host.  He is very informative and helpful.  We really enjoyed our stay.
104099,29733263,2015-04-12,9406540,Tearson,The Zilker guesthouse is awesome!  Perfect little home in one of the best neighborhoods Austin has to offer.  The host Daniel is super sweet and always available to make sure our stay was comfortable.  His doggies are the sweetest and were super gentle with our 10 month old.
104099,30376459,2015-04-21,1817273,Claudia,"Daniel is very welcoming and a most gracious host. The apartment is wonderfully situated in South Austin and actually walking distance to great restaurants--as it is a car town, this is no small deal.

The apartment is very comfortable and well appointed. It is light and has a nice deck. If you  love dogs--nice dogs, this is a great spot. 

"
104099,30771558,2015-04-27,16544769,Claire,"Daniel was a wonderful host! He met us upon arrival and showed us around the house. It was very comfortable with a great kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. The location is perfect-so close to all of the South Austin treasures. The guesthouse shares the same backyard as Daniel, so we got to play with his 4 dogs when they were outside. Thank you for all the hospitality, Daniel!"
104099,31304113,2015-05-04,14289978,Dusty,The place is in a beautiful neighborhood close to everything! The bed is the most comfortable we have had on a trip…in a peaceful quiet area. I would recommend this rental to anyone going to Austin. It has everything you will need to be very comfortable plus some adorable dogs to play with if you feel the need to join them in the back yard. THX Daniel for a wonderful stay we were sad to go but def. want to come enjoy more of Austin again!
104099,33233653,2015-05-26,28518429,Steven,Everything was excellent and as advertised.  Daniel was very nice and accommodating.
104099,33729479,2015-05-31,17603510,Philip,Enjoyed our stay in Austin at Daniel's guesthouse immensely.  Terrific location near Zilker park and Downtown - very comfortable quarters and a beautiful yard to enjoy!  Daniel is the perfect host.  Highest recommendation!
104099,36443750,2015-06-28,16429574,Gail,Daniel made me feel very welcome -- he was very friendly and accommodating. His guest house is beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything one might need. I had a great stay at his place.
104099,44776106,2015-08-29,16429574,Gail," Daniel's guesthouse is one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had. Charming, clean, well-equipped, and great location. Daniel is a very welcoming and friendly host."
104099,46150189,2015-09-08,8714263,Shaun,"Very comfortable, roomy, and clean guesthouse. Quiet neighborhood. It was definitely a relaxing place to stay. The dogs were very friendly and barking was not an issue. Daniel was great. Not only has he lived in Austin for years, but he has traveled the world and has many stories to tell. His hospitality was exceptional. My neck was throbbing after a long day of travel and he brought me pain medications and tiger balm. A very kind and generous person. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin. "
104099,49767362,2015-10-06,19843089,Logan,"Dan has a good heart.  I think that he genuinely wants you to enjoy your time at his guest house.  Though this guest house is connecting to where he lives, the place was well appointed and warm.  Lots of towels, pillows, blankets, a great fridge, which was stocked with delicious fruit and water.  Overall, if you are wanting a place walking distance to Zilker Park for a festival, then this is definitely the spot."
104099,50613742,2015-10-13,3962250,Tiffany,Daniel has a great space and is a fantastic host.  This is our 2nd ACL staying with Daniel.   He made us feel very welcome.  He provided us with some great snacks and a bottle of wine upon arrival.  We had a terrific stay.
104099,52343898,2015-10-28,45553786,Michelle,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and I'm so glad that we found Daniel's guesthouse!  Daniel is so welcoming, kind, and helpful.  The guesthouse was clean and a great space.  We were obsessed with all of the natural light!  Daniel provided some snacks, drinks, and wine which was so wonderful.  We loved seeing the dogs in the yard, they are so friendly!  The location is perfect.  Safe and close to everything.  We had a perfect long weekend!"
8614516,49554083,2015-10-04,1728848,Chris,"The apartment was in a decent location for ACL only about a 25 minute walk. It was in an older complex and definitely felt a little dated but it was clean, safe, and was stocked with everything you needed as a crash pad. Megan was helpful and very accommodating. "
606351,3729108,2013-03-09,644683,Jennifer,"Absolutely LOVED our stay at Elisa's Summer Home. When we arrived, we were greeted by Ann (the local manager) with a quick tour of the house and a welcome basket stocked with goodies and wine! We stayed for a week and the location was perfect, we could easily walk to SoCo for dinner, bus or take a cab to downtown in mere minutes. The house was immaculate upon our arrival and all the basic necessities. I got the main bedroom and bathroom, so I probably got the best deal of all! We had 4 people sharing the house but we still felt like we had our own space. "
606351,3770992,2013-03-13,2805620,Karima,"We recently stayed at this wonderful bungalow and we couldn't have been more excited about it!! It was the perfect location, (right across the street from some famous food trailers, including Torchy's Tacos) with easy parking. The location is also a close drive to the grocery store and right next door to a food mart for extra convenience. The house itself is adorable, beautifully decorated and comfortably sleeps 5. There is wifi, a large flat screen TV and stainless steel appliances. Eliza even went the extra mile and left  a wonderful welcome basket for us! If I am ever back in Austin, I will definitely come back!"
606351,3813074,2013-03-18,4088757,Adriana,"Loved our stay at Elisa's Summer Home.  My group and I were recetly in Austin for SXSW and the house was perfect.  Comfortable and spacious with a great kitchen and beautiful master bedroom.  Amazing location and neighbored, right near the corner of S. 1st , so it was a quick stroll to charming South Congress or across the street to delicious food trucks.  Quick cab to downtown.  The front porch and side and back decks were perfect to relax and hang out with friends or family.  I am green conscious so I appreciated all of the eco-friendly touches the house has as well.  We were greeted with a bottle of vino and some tasty chips and salsa.  I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Austin and would love to stay here again."
606351,3895247,2013-03-25,5369186,Kate,Beautiful House! Perfect location! And well equipped to meet all our needs. Most helpful was the baby amenities that were available at the house as we had our 8 month old with us. I would definitely recommend the Summer House!
606351,3998908,2013-04-02,4981124,Caitlin,"A perfect spot for those looking to explore and experience all that Austin has to offer! Super convenient and easy walking distance to S. Congress and 1st. Depending on your penchant for getting places on foot, also within fairly easy walking distance to downtown. Location was our priority for this trip and I don't think we could possibly have found a better one. The house accommodated the 5 of us quite comfortably, with one person on the comfy sleeper sofa. Elisa and the local contact were both very accommodating and quick to respond to any email inquiries. House was very clean and tidy. And cute!"
606351,4184692,2013-04-16,5574452,Peg,"Charming and convenient, this place has it all.
Perfect location. Walk to South Congress Ave and even closer to multiple amazing restaurants for breakfast lunch and dinner, like Torchy's Tacos, Elizabeth's Cafe, Stray and Lenoir. Steps away from a food market. Light filled, comfortable, roomy Master suite. Love the outdoor decks, historic doors and antique accents in this otherwise thoroughly modern home.

606351,4252467,2013-04-22,2879079,Damisha,One of the best places I have stated on airbnb. I truly will be staying here again when I return back to Austin. Awesome host!!
606351,4361904,2013-04-30,4507589,Patrick,"Elisa Your place was awesome and the perfect place to meet up with old friends.  We found it to be charming, cozy and comfortable and so convient to everything.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone visting Austin and will definetly be back!  "
606351,4794693,2013-05-26,398207,Jessaca,"This is a really lovely house, beautifully furnished, with many gorgeous details like amazing ranch doors from the master bedroom into the back yard. You are just steps from a fabulous food truck park, and very close to the south congress shops and restaurants. We especially liked the view of the classic moonlight tower out the living room window, and the giant tub. Really nice - we had a good stay, were met promptly and everything was very clear - thank you!"
606351,5037045,2013-06-09,5983609,Michael,"Elisa is a fantastic host. Communication was very open and clear. Her home is equally awesome! The location of this house is incredible. Literal walking distance to so much: downtown~20min, S. Congress=5min, Elizabeth St. Cafe and Torchy's Taco were a minute (GO TO THESE PLACES)! This house is really a great base camp to enjoy some time in Austin. The entire experience was easy, comfortable and fun! I would love to return to Elisa's home or recommend it to anyone else!"
606351,6619206,2013-08-19,4728282,Seamus,"My family andI were relocating to Austin and rented the house for a month.  It was a terrific way to immediately feel like a local.  The tremendous location coupled with up to date and comfortable environment meant that we immediately felt at home. It was ""authentic"" Austin at its best. Great house, great neighborhood, great people and outstanding food within walking distance. Many thanks and would highly recommend. "
606351,7803388,2013-10-03,61728,Jarod,Great location! Great communication from owner and great for kids. Highly recommended. 
606351,8231569,2013-10-21,9210457,Elizabeth,"The perfect Austin getaway house! It is walking distance to many great spots, loaded with charm and stocked with goodies to make your stay feel like home! The bath tub is amazing! As is the warmth you gather from the host. Can't wait to return!"
606351,8943049,2013-11-27,7456844,Michael,"Overall this is a great place to stay. I stayed for about a month. It is a nice location in Austin, however, it is right behind a dry cleaners. This is the only bad thing about the house. The dry cleaners has a very large exhaust fan which can shake the entire house at times. If you are a light sleeper, this house is not for you. If not, or if you don't mind ear plugs, I would highly recommend it. My interaction w Elisa was quick and professional. The house is wonderfully appointed. "
606351,9035448,2013-12-02,4980396,Glenn,"We had a wonderful stay at Elisa's home in Austin. Her two bedroom unit was located just off of West 1st Street within 5 minutes walking time to some great restaurants. We also took a longer walk across the river bridge to the nearby movie theater. Elisa is a gracious hostess and was so very helpful in providing a great AirBnB experience for us. A quiet and restful stay in Austin. Thank you, Elisa."
606351,9216473,2013-12-14,10223898,John,"Our stay at the Summer House was lovely.  The house was comfortable, clean, well equipped and also close to good restaurants.  We walked across the street for Torchy's tacos, healthful food, and yummy hot chocolate.  

We would definitely stay there again,

"
606351,9396703,2013-12-26,10460485,Anil,"We chose this place because of it's proximity to all that is happening.
It is a cute little place with excellent amenities and though we were worried that our group of varying age would all fit in, it was very comfortable.
Train noises the first day kept waking me up but the provided ear plugs soon took care of that. Beds are very comfortable and heating more than adequate (we were here during winter)."
606351,9735306,2014-01-07,6366559,Jennifer,"We stayed in the summer home while recording our album in Austin.  It's exactly what we needed - quiet, cozy and functional.  We'd definitely stay there again!  Thanks so much!
Love,
Lady & West

606351,9960147,2014-01-21,11047819,Tim,House was very clean and location was great.  Outstanding value overall.
606351,10164891,2014-02-03,10931327,Hasaan,I was thrilled with my stay at Elisa's family summer home in Austin. It was very conveniently located to everything I needed to explore. The house was very comfortable with plenty of room to accommodate four. The pictures don't do the space justice in square footage depth perception.
606351,10347649,2014-02-15,11134343,Jaime,"Adorable house! Never wanted to leave. Clean and spacious with great outside area. Very convenient location to all of Austin. House is an easy and short walk to S. Congress and all that it has to offer. There is also a convenience store right on the street corner which was super convenient for our crew- not to mention the Gordough's doughnut trailer across from the store! House was very clean and had all that we needed, including very comfortable beds! Someone mentioned the train being loud in an earlier review, and while I did hear a train once or twice while we were there, it was by NO means loud enough to be bothersome to us in any way. I cannot imagine needing ear plugs for it either. I heard absolutely no noise from the street corner laundromat as mentioned in an earlier review either. Elisa was a great host and very promptly responded to any question I had leading up to the trip. I have no doubt she would have been readily available had we needed anything during our stay! There are instructions and guide books left by the host for guidance to the house and city. I would love to move to Austin (tomorrow) and rent this house forever! Thanks Elisa!"
606351,10637648,2014-03-01,11340940,Ning,"It was my first time using Airbnb and now I'm spoiled for life!  

Elisa is a most gracious, warm and welcoming host.  Her home was absolutely perfect for all my needs (I was in Austin for a week of business).  It was the perfect refuge from my busy days . . relaxing and quiet yet so convenient to everything I needed to get to Downtown.  I was also so pleased at how very close it is to great restaurants, shops, etc.  Everything I needed from a great espresso, to amazing quick food, food mart, nail salon, nice restaurants for business meetings, shopping, was in walking or 5 min. drive distance - and all my business meetings in the heart of Downtown were a short 10-15 min. drive.  Some other things to mention . . . .the master bedroom's mattress is SO comfortable, and all the ""extras"" like linens, kitchenwares, etc. were of good to great quality which made it even more of a nice experience!  I really feel that Elisa takes extra effort to make her guests' stay really great.  Elisa was also so very attentive and communicative through the entire booking process and throughout my stay.  

I really hope to stay at Elisa's wonderful home again!"
606351,10917094,2014-03-13,3035492,Peter,Elisa's place was just great! We loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Austin. Thanks for the snacks and the bottle of wine too!
606351,11181438,2014-03-24,12360062,Rachel,"The house was absolutely perfect. Clean, adorable, amazing location and comfy beds to boot!

The check-in and out process was a snap and we loved every minute of our stay. We're hoping to come back and bring more friends/family next time. "
606351,11534926,2014-04-07,11903453,Semira,"My friends and I recently stayed in Elisa's home and we had a fantastic time! The home is very well maintained and clean and the location is great. We were able to walk all along South Congress and adjacent streets, though we did rent a car so that we could drive to downtown Austin as it's a bit of a hike. Overall, we were very pleased with the home, it's location and amenities. Thanks, Elisa! "
606351,11987657,2014-04-21,5898730,Dean,"We couldn't have asked for a better location, and the house was beautiful. Our family of 5 had a great time, and hope to stay there again."
606351,12325292,2014-04-29,4507589,Patrick,This is the second year in a row that my friends and I have stayed at Elisa's Place.  It is an amazing space and so close to everything.  The host is very accessible and prompt.  I highly recommend this space. It is so nice to have such a comfortable home to come back to and it was great to catch up with old friends.  I will definitely be back.  
606351,13131282,2014-05-20,12030436,Tory,Great house in a great neighborhood! The house fit our needs perfectly and was even better than expected! Everything was very clean and there was just enough room for our group (four adults and one toddler).
606351,13411496,2014-05-27,13421319,Leanna,"We could not be more happy with our time in Austin and in this absolutely perfect Austin bungalow. We were walking distance to south congress and all the amazing shops and restaurants. The house was perfect for our family of 4, and very warm and welcoming. I would most definitely recommend anyone looking for a lovely and comfortable place to stay in an amazing location to stay here. Our family will definitely be back! Thank you for everything."
606351,13711993,2014-06-02,15874890,Jennifer,We really enjoyed our stay. Ideal location. Most of what we did was less than 3 miles away. The house was great. Definitely recommend. 
606351,13912699,2014-06-08,8935086,Ryan,"Great place to stay!  Within walking distance of a lot of great restaurants!  Torchy's, Home Slice, Elizabeth St. Cafe were all fantastic!  House was nice and had everything we needed."
606351,16070190,2014-07-21,1236451,Erin,The reservation was canceled 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
606351,17008496,2014-08-05,10567270,Stephanie,"We had a great time at The Summer House!  Location was excellent, we walked to ""famous"" breakfast, coffee, and lunch spots we had read about (Torchy's, Gordoughs, etc).  Extremely convenient drive to downtown and also super easy to get to and from the airport.   The stylish and clean house was very well equipped and offered space and comfort that no hotel could have- and for a better price!  Elisa (& Ann) were extremely accommodating for check in & out times and we hope to be back soon!  "
606351,17296844,2014-08-10,7115215,Dan,"Elisa was kind and open throughout the entire process and put us in touch with the local 'manager' of the house who was sweet as well and left a nice, hand-written note for us upon arrival (it's the little things). Communication was great and the house was as-advertised. 

It's in a fantastic location right off S1st and you're close enough to the downtown for all the fun but far enough away to give off the neighborhoody feel you're looking for in AirBnB. I'd definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone! 

Final note: the bunkbeds are insanely comfortable -- don't let that be a deterrent :)  "
606351,18320900,2014-08-25,10953719,Christine,"The house was exactly like it appeared online in pictures. If anything, the house was even better in person. Everything was very clean and Elisa had a ton of items available for guests to make them feel right at home. The location was perfect--a ton of restaurants with in walking distance. "
606351,18827281,2014-09-01,16379543,Jason,We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was very comfortable and we appreciated the pack n' play crib and high chair for our infant. The location was a great jumping off point for exploring Austin. It's very walkable to restaurants and food trucks on 1st and Congress. It's a great oasis to come back to after a long day exploring Austin in the heat!
606351,20891891,2014-10-07,8797562,Dan,"Terrific location for an Austin visit! We came down for Austin City Limits and the house was not only convenient, but provided some sneaky back roads to walk right to the festival. While we didn't use it during our stay, the backyard is huge and would be great for some outdoor lounging and dining. If you have lots to do downtown, it is a bit of a walk but not crazy. 
Both bedrooms are good sized, bunk beds make great sense for kids or single adults. One shared shower with bathtub in another bathroom so a larger group would need to coordinate. 
We would definitely choose this house for a return stay! Double bonus is that Torchy's Tacos is right across the street...had breakfast there every morning!"
606351,22021666,2014-10-28,6455413,Taleen,"Our group loved it! Great house, favorable location"
606351,22354721,2014-11-04,18116543,Jeff,This home is even better than the pictures! Elisa was super responsive to questions and booking request. She made sure everything from arrival to departure went smoothly. The location can't be beat and both the inside living areas and outside decks are hugely enjoyable. This accommodation was a great value for our group and everyone was comfy and happy. Great job all around.
606351,22647401,2014-11-11,1776003,Nick,"This was a perfect stay all around:  A very clean house in a cool neighborhood in South Austin plus simple, fast communication with Elisa.  Would definitely stay again."
606351,22902788,2014-11-17,11371874,Tyler,Great place in a great location.
606351,23179087,2014-11-24,10227208,Jessica,"This house could not be more perfect. My two girlfriends and I stayed here for 3 nights and had an amazing time. The house is so welcoming from the moment you pull up and has everything you'll need to have a comfortable stay. Walking distance to amazing food trucks (literally right across the street), mini mart and South Congress. Even if you're looking to check out Rainy Street or 6th - the Uber ride's were never more than 10 bucks! 

Would recommend to all!"
606351,24240769,2014-12-23,7149552,Christian,"Elisa's home is a gem in the SoCo area of Austin. Modern with new appliances and all the furnishings needed for a comfortable stay, I would highly recommend this home for any length of stay! There is one awkward thing: the master bedroom does not have a door so privacy might be an issue. "
606351,24928114,2015-01-04,637006,Angela,"After my recent wedding, I wanted my husbands family to have a comfortable, private, and functional place to stay for their last few days in my hometown.  Just before my husband and I headed off to our honeymoon,  we checked the family into their new abode planted right in the heart Austin.  Eliza and Ann were in communication with me  prior to check-in which contributed to a very nice stay for the family.  We were greeted by Ann at check-in and immediately I was relieved to see that the house was clean (at sight and smell), and that the house appeared just as the pictures portrayed.  

A day before check-in I was informed that the washer was not in working order.  Unfortunately, that was also the day of our wedding so I was not able to respond in time to confirm that the washer be replaced during my family's stay at the ""summer house"".  Ann was nice to offer to wash their clothes at a nearby laundromat.   Although it proved to be a bit of an inconvenience, (it is always a little uncomfortable to have your laundry done by a stranger)  it was definitely generous for her to offer to have the laundry taken care of.  

Overall, I had a great  AirBnB experience and I know the family had a comfortable stay in a location that is the BEST!  They enjoyed their stay, and for that I totally would recommend this accommodation for a small group or small family looking to explore Austin at it's best in a comfortable and modern home.

Thank you, Eliza & Ann!
"
606351,25794548,2015-01-26,3249588,Ben,This house is beautiful and I was surprised that it was even nicer than the pictures may suggest.  It is in a wonderful neighborhood and there is a Torchy's Tacos across the street.  We stayed for a weekend and it was a perfect place to experience Austin.  I would definitely consider staying here again next time I visit Austin.
606351,27456652,2015-03-05,23194373,Steve,"bottle of wine was a nice touch but i never got to it.  
wonderful neighborhood.  surrounded by great restaurants.  5 minute walk to South Congress"
606351,28375299,2015-03-23,2596364,Jörg,This was the perfect place to stay for SXSW! Everything was perfect!
606351,28862297,2015-03-31,2547849,Jennifer,"I recently had the pleasure of staying several days at Elisa's lovely home in Austin and only have positive things to say about my stay.  If you are looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home in a safe neighborhood, close enough to walk to many great restaurants and shops, then Eco-chic 2/2 is for you. 
I was in Austin visiting with family and the house proved to be a perfect base for me.  The second bedroom and bath made it comfortable when my son and daughter joined me for a few days.  The kitchen is well-equipped if you want to cook, but we took advantage of all the great restaurants nearby for most of our meals. 
One evening we hosted several family members on the large back deck with pizza and beer.  That was also a great place to finish our days - sitting under the stars and enjoying the warm breeze.
I met the manager Ann, while I was there and she was helpful and responsive to any questions I had.
All in all a great stay, and I highly recommend Elisa's house if you lucky enough to be traveling to Austin."
606351,29661409,2015-04-11,1156185,Susannah,"We had a wonderful visit at Elisa's house. It had very comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen and was in the perfect location, as everyone has mentioned. She had great guide books to give you some different ideas about what to do in Austin.Loved the bathtub! and the spacious shower. Lots of extras that aren't usually available when you visit Airbnbs. hand cream,soap etc. And she didn't skimp on the toilet paper!  It's usually rationed and I have to admit I appreciated that. We didn't have the pleasure of meeting you. perhaps next time?Thanks so much!"
606351,29912781,2015-04-14,27280335,Lara,"We absolutely loved our stay in the summer house. The decor was simple and welcoming. The location could not have been more perfect- we could walk anywhere we wanted to go. We loved the deck and backyard, and enjoyed a few cocktails in the sunshine. The house was stocked with anything we could have needed. Such a perfect and charming spot!"
606351,30305367,2015-04-20,10486665,Bryan,"Had an exceptional experience staying here. 

The house was perfect - clean, well-designed, and full of great amenities. It's a great relaxing place to spend downtime on a vacation.

The location could not have be better - walkable to everything, so much amazing food close by, and in a quiet and charming neighborhood.

Checking in and out was a breeze. 

Could not recommend highly enough!"
606351,30858123,2015-04-28,842333,Diane,"This place was great! Perfect location for our stay and the house was very clean and well-appointed. Plenty of towels, toilet paper, etc. The wifi worked perfectly. 

The second bedroom is bunk beds and the second bathroom has just a tub with a shower head/handle, so if you're looking for a fast/easy use of the second bathroom/shower just be aware of that. It's sort of European-style. 

Just two of us stayed here and it was perfect. We loved the place and would definitely stay again - I may be re-booking it now for our visit again next year!

Don't miss Picnik coffee shop/truck, just a 5 minute drive from this house - best butter coffee and Paleo goodies in Austin!"
606351,33061246,2015-05-25,6245204,Virginia,"The house was great!  It rained the whole time, so we weren't able to use the awesome patio areas, but house had more than enough space for a family of four to hang out in.  The beds were comfortable and the decor was super-cute.  The location was amazing--a quick drive to downtown, and within walking distance of a TON of great restaurants and food trucks.   "
606351,33832506,2015-06-01,32981974,Jonathan,This home was wonderful and everything about our stay in Austin was brightened because of our choice in Elisa's place! She was very accommodating and helped out throughout the process of checking in and during the stay. The home was decorated so nicely and it was a comforting place to come home to each day.
606351,34503001,2015-06-08,34683445,Peter,"Great place! Fun, clean, cozy, and a great location. Thank you!"
606351,35400117,2015-06-18,11245422,Jennifer,"We absolutely loved staying at this house: it made our trip to Austin, a city we already adore, all the more wonderful. Elisa answered all our questions beforehand and we found the house clean, quiet, and well-stocked. Her property manager was there to greet us, which was invaluable as I'd just arrived after a long flight with a toddler. Clearly, they have an organized system for maintaining the house and welcoming guests. The house has a soothing ambience and is especially well-suited for families with young children. The second bedroom is tucked away from the master bedroom and living room and there's a big yard for running around; it's as childproof as you can get without having to put locks on the cabinet doors. We have a two year old and he immediately felt at home.  The master bedroom doesn't have a door, but it is separated from the rest of the house by a step and a short hallway and made us feel like we were in our own wing. It's a truly lovely space. The house is within walking distance to food trucks, a coffee shop, and the Elizabeth Street Cafe, and it's less than a mile's walk to S. Congress St.  "
606351,37550452,2015-07-08,1518835,Russ,"Elisa's home was wonderful.  I live a couple blocks away in the same neighborhood and my parents stayed there while they were in town for my wedding and they couldn't have been happier!  The home is perfectly set up, exactly as described (or nicer than) in the ad.  Super comfy and a perfect location, walking distance to all of the amenities on S. 1st.   The  Bouldin neighborhood is certainly the quintessential Austin experience!  "
606351,40248360,2015-07-29,17937910,Lisa,"The host made us feel completely welcome! She made sure a pack-n-play was set up for our arrival, which was great as we arrived around 3 am with a 15 month old! Everything was exactly as stated, and it looked just as beautiful in person as it did in the pictures. The house was great! We enjoyed the spacious patio areas every night. We would definitely stay here again. The neighborhood was also fantastic. It's close to downtown and some great food trucks are within walking distance. "
606351,44169640,2015-08-24,39647415,Kristen,Cute little house. Perfect location. Across the street from Torchy's. House was as described. Kitchen was clean and updated. Had a nice stay. Thanks.
606351,48010634,2015-09-22,4024218,David,"My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Elisa’s home. Her partner Ann met us for check in and made us feel very welcome. The chips, salsa and a bottle wine helped too! The house is very well stocked with extra everything in the back closet. The location is great, a Torchy’s Taco, Gourdough’s donuts, and other goodies within walking distance (don’t pass up on the Bouldin Creek Cafe), and a bus stop to downtown. Our only blip was the noise from the laundromat next door. Every morning at 6am they turn on this machine which sounds like an air compressor releasing pressure. At least it shuts off before you go to bed but it’ll be there again at 6am, so light sleepers beware. Otherwise, a great stay!"
606351,48539104,2015-09-27,402675,Brian,"Elisa's house was EXACTLY like I expected, cute, fantastic location, and really felt like a South Austin home.  We had an awesome time, and can't recommend this place enough to get a real Austin, Texas experience."
606351,50621932,2015-10-13,15044458,Tanya,"We enjoyed being close to the restaurants and food trunks in the area.  Elisa was kind enough to send her Austin recommendations prior to arrival.

The home doesn't really have any doors so there isn't as much privacy within as I would have liked.  We didn't spend much time in the house since we were in town for ACL so it was not an issue."
606351,51456175,2015-10-20,44098857,Sarah,"Perfect home for family with a baby.  A pack&play, stroller, and high chair were available when we arrived.  The area was walkable (with sidewalks) for food, coffee, parks, and just strolling about.  Perfect location for a quick drive to downtown, airport, Town Lake and much more.  Correspondence with the host was easy.  They were perfectly accommodating.  The house was clean and even cuter in person.  "
896195,3796356,2013-03-16,4606278,Nicki,"I booked this house for my colleagues during SXSW 2013 & this is what they had to say about their experience:

""Tom was a gracious host, making my colleague and I feel comfortable in his beautiful, roomy home.  We had everything we needed while staying there and he went above and beyond to make us feel at home.

I would recommend his house to anyone looking for a cozy alternative to a hotel in Austin.'

896195,10938310,2014-03-14,10008313,Louise,"Tom was a fantastic host.  We rented the house for SXSW and it was exactly as described, a beautiful and well appointed home.  Great private and comfortable bedrooms, wonderful open living space both in the main room/kitchen and by the pool.  Tom helped us with a couple of specific requests and was both extremely accommodating and helpful.  Would definitely recommend the house for a SXSW party or simply for a family/group enjoying Austin"
896195,28306899,2015-03-22,21480942,Michiel,Great clean and big house! Definitely felt at home. Thomas was also very nice and responsive to questions during the weekend. Also the 3page instruction manual was very helpful.
1529416,7491511,2013-09-22,2461463,Alicia,This location was absolutely perfect for my team.  Three of us stayed here for a 3 day conference at the convention center.   So nice to be able to wake up and make our own coffee and breakfast and then head to the conference 1 block away.   It was cozy and comfortable.   Great to be able to come back between sessions and brainstorm as well.   So many restaurants and fun places to go all walking distance.  Only needed a cab from and to the airport.
1529416,8443771,2013-10-31,6686153,Tamar,"We were in Austin for the Austin Film Festival and the location of the condo was awesome!  We were just a couple of blocks from most of the AFF theaters and conference venues, and all the dining/nightlife Austin is famous for.  Since we didn't have a car during our visit, we really appreciated that the CapitalMetro bus to/from the airport ($1 per person each way!) stopped within about a block of the condo.  The main drawback was that it was pretty noisy-- lots of downtown construction, revelers, and the building itself isn't well sound insulated so it was very easy to hear neighbors in their condos upstairs, courtyard conversations, all the passersby on the sidewalk, and, of course, traffic.  It is a ground floor condo (window blinds mostly stayed shut), but we felt safe, given that the complex has access gates as well.  The condo was nice and clean and the kitchen was appointed for more minimal food preparation.  That turned out to be just fine for us because we ended up indulging in many of the nearby restaurants for our main meal of the day and just doing breakfast/lunch there.  There isn't an actual grocery store nearby but at one point we made the trek on foot to Whole Foods for supplies (about a 25-minute walk each way).  We had some trouble with the internet connection and with getting the dishwasher to work (we had no idea there'd be a wall switch to control the dishwasher's power!), but Erica and her team were available and responsive when we called for assistance.  I think if we were to come back again, we'd not hesitate to stay in this condo or another of Erica's."
1529416,9788744,2014-01-10,8816375,Darren,"Incredibly convenient downtown Austin place.  Erica was exceptionally helpful, by far the best I've seen on Airbnb.  The place is totally fine for a few nights.  It's small.  2 real bedrooms.  the beds are not great nor are the pillows.  Never understood why people don't put all their money in good mattresses and pillows.  The place is not stocked with anything--basically ice in the refrigerator, which is different than every other place I've used.  No coffee, no tea, nothing.  Not a huge deal but just plan on it.  Certainly a very good simple place to stay. "
1529416,10776612,2014-03-07,11078697,Rebecca,"This place and company are wonderful. I felt more comfortable renting through a company and this one didn't disappoint. The place was in tip top shape when we arrived and only seemed to be lacking toilet paper! But I called to inquire (a real person answered the phone immediately) and sent someone out just a couple of hours later to replenish our supply. As for the condo, it's WONDERFUL! So happy we stayed here for SXSWedu instead of at a hotel, especially given that my mom and 19 month daughter were also staying with me. The rooms were lovely and all well kept. It was awesome to have a full (decent size) kitchen. I was worried about the noise given the condo is ground level, but it wasn't an issue at all. The master bedroom actually doesn't face the street (windows only within the condo complex), but even the second bedroom was quiet enough that my daughter had no trouble falling or staying asleep. The condo building itself was great and so convenient, including the parking spot. I would 100% stay here again."
1529416,11993046,2014-04-21,12294788,Elizabeth,Had a great stay in a very central location.  Definitely recommend!
1529416,13439622,2014-05-27,13696786,Keller,"Great stay. Well kept condo,  phenomenal location. Easy and uncomplicated to access. Hosting company was professional and easy to contact."
1529416,13960554,2014-06-09,1556173,Winston,"We had a great experience with Erica and TurnKey.  The condo was in a prime location and was exactly as advertised - clean, spacious, and well-furnished.  Will definitely stay here again when I'm back in Austin!"
1529416,14304183,2014-06-16,16088153,Sam,"The place was in the perfect part of town, and was very clean and welcoming!  we were there for a bachelor party and couldn't have been more thrilled with the outcome.  This was actually my first AirBnb experience and it was a perfect one!!!"
1529416,20011244,2014-09-22,17958610,Rathna,This condo was wonderful to stay in for the weekend! It was very clean and nicely decorated. There were many towels and toiletries available for us to use. We were even able to do laundry during our stay! Great location - walking distance from 6th! Erica Knapp and Turnkey provided detailed emails so we had all the information needed for our stay. Loved it - thank you! 
1529416,20216225,2014-09-25,19766035,David,"We had a great three night stay here. The apartment was in an amazing location - two blocks away from 6th street and its great live music and only a 2 minute walk from the lake. It was clean, and everything worked well - the tv, washer/dryer etc. The well-equipped kitchen was a particular bonus. And the pool, while small, was a great place for a bit of sunbathing. The arrival instructions from turnkey were so good that we did not need to contact them during our stay. Overall this was a great place and I recommend it highly."
1529416,20430438,2014-09-29,20270986,Monica,"Erica was very responsive to all my questions. She was able to answer my MANY questions in a timely and effective manner which I greatly appreciated. The space is great, though as others mentioned you can hear some noise from the street in one of the bedrooms.  Also the temperature differs depending on the room you're in, but nothing that can't be fixed with a blanket! The apt was perfect for 4 of us girls, coming fully stocked with DVDs and games as well. Great location if you are planning on going out downtown. Walking distance to everything!"
1529416,21212981,2014-10-13,20801556,Jonathan,"Room was in good shape and as advertised.  The early check in was much appreciated.  Getting into the room was a cinch.  There were many more amenities than I expected and everything worked.

On the negative side - the building was pretty loud.  I could hear the drunkies coming home at night.  I had one small sanitary issue that I wouldn't expect to be repeated. "
1529416,21937644,2014-10-27,6108534,Bill,"Host was great and easy to contact. Unit was as described, clean and in good condition. Great location, easy walk to all attraction in downtown area. Would stay here again on my next trip to Austin. "
1529416,22098231,2014-10-30,19537039,Matthew,"We had a great stay in Austin. I traveled with two colleagues for a work event at the convention center. We booked through Airbnb because the hotels were mostly full. We saved a ton of money and were across the street from the trade show. Erica and everyone at Turnkey were very accommodating. The only downsides were the noise of the ceiling fan in the master bedroom, and the lack of natural light. 

The overall experience was great and we felt safe. I highly recommend booking this for the business traveler, or anyone who wants to be right near the action in downtown Austin (the free parking space is a HUGE bonus for anyone driving)."
1529416,22360031,2014-11-04,6618778,Heather,"We were in Austin for the Formula 1 race weekend and this apartment is not even a block from the shuttle bus pick-up/drop-off site.  It was so very convenient and spotlessly clean, we loved it!  The pictures shown in the listing were taken recently and everything in the apartment is in excellent shape.  The beds are comfortable with quality bedding and we had no problem with the wifi and television.  It was just a 2 block walk to get over to Fanfest and access all the restaurants, it was nice to leave the car parked all weekend.  We would definitely stay here again."
1529416,23020696,2014-11-20,7983620,William,The place is super nice and in a great location. This was my 2nd stay and would stay there again next time I'm in town.
1529416,23602720,2014-12-06,23294563,Aaron,The host did a great job contacting me via phone and email.
1529416,23815772,2014-12-11,15649476,Caroline,"A great apartment in a great location, everything was straightforward with checking in and out and we had no complaints."
1529416,25598626,2015-01-20,8587725,Danica,"Our vacation weekend to Austin was nothing short of perfect- due in part to both Erica's property and hospitality. We had six girls staying on 4th street and we all fit very comfortably in her house. The pull-out couch was a pleasant surprise, and the in-unit washer/dryer saved the day. The location is within walking distance to all-things Austin, and simply perfect for a weekend getaway. As for the management company, TurnKey, they could not have made the stay any easier. We were having trouble figuring out the trick to the dishwasher, shot them an email and had a reply within a few hours. To check in, you simply have to enter the correct gate and door codes, and the place is yours.

Truly a great weekend- already planning our next trip!!  "
1529416,25720787,2015-01-24,25863704,Rupa,"The neighborhood was great! There were many coffee shops and restaurants in walking distance. The unit was spacious, clean, and cozy. "
1529416,25906968,2015-01-29,25754099,Julian,"Everything about our rental was painless, and the space was as described... great location and comfortable."
1529416,27324802,2015-03-02,8001702,Aaron,"Great location and great place. Had a couple of issues checking in but the host sent out someone to help take care of things right away!

The only thing I'd mention is that the walls are fairly thin in the building - we had a bunch of noisy neighbours partying late, and you can pretty much hear what people are saying as they walk by on the street outside or in the building courtyard."
1529416,30129463,2015-04-18,27388907,Susi,"We stayed at this spacious and well-equipped condo while attending a conference at the Convention Center, and the location could not have been more convenient.   We could easily walk across the street throughout the day to deposit or pick up items.  Access to the condo was simple and secure, and the space and contents of the condo were just as described on the Airbnb website.  Excellent restaurants, both casual and upscale, are close by, and the condo’s safe and central location makes it easy to navigate downtown Austin without a car.  The host was responsive whenever we had questions, both prior to and during our stay, receiving an A+ for good and prompt communication.  Our overall experience was very positive.

The only concern during our three night stay was loud partying in the complex on the last evening of our stay.  While two of our party were not disturbed by the voices echoing in the courtyard, two of us were, especially the guest sleeping in the living room.  Otherwise, the condo was quiet and comfortable during our visit, and we would happily stay at this location again."
1529416,30297480,2015-04-20,28498991,Erik,Great apartment in a great area. Walking distance to just about everything. 
1529416,31033867,2015-05-01,15334130,David,"The condo was exactly as described. Good communication about pass codes, entry to the unit, and check out. Great neighborhood, many restaurants and bars in walking distance. Unit only has one parking space, but other surface lots are close by. I recommend this property. "
1529416,31439775,2015-05-05,29147524,Laura,We very much enjoyed our stay in this condo. There were six of us that stayed here for a girls weekend. We loved the convenience of being able to let ourselves in with the Turnkey process. The condo was what we expected and we didn't have any problems during our stay. The sofabed was pretty comfortable for a pull out as well. The location of the condo is great and in walking distance to many great restaurants and bars. We would stay here again if we come back to Austin!
1529416,31920808,2015-05-11,31291942,Salitha,Cute condo with enough space for 5 people! Great location to walk everywhere downtown!
1529416,34456243,2015-06-08,33151211,Erin,Erica was very nice and informative. The apartment was well kept and had a good sized pool. It was a easy walk to nearby restaurants and attractions. 
1529416,36541799,2015-06-29,23682032,Tony,"The location  of this condo was excellent, just a few blocks from 6th street. Everything was clean and was in order when we arrived. Enjoyed my experience, contacting them was no issues at all.

Only gripe is the extremely limited noise that was allowed at night, walls must be thin if neighbors were complaining when we were talking/laughing. But obviously it's nothing that Erica can control.

Great host and willing to work with you. "
1529416,36890546,2015-07-02,33838889,Justin,We were given the info we needed to access the facility.  
1529416,41013007,2015-08-03,6734710,Torrey,"We had a wonderful time staying at this 2 bedroom in downtown Austin. We were in town to paint a mural in the 2nd Street District and this two bedroom was the perfect walking distance for us to that area as well as being an all around central location to just about anything you would want to do in Austin. The apartment was just like the photos & the beds were really comfortable & air conditioning felt so good to come home to. Also, for a longer stay, having a washer and dryer is a really nice touch. The Starbucks directly across the street saved me a few mornings when it was time to get up and work. Keep in mind the unit is on the ground floor so the street level is just outside the kitchen window and window of 2nd bedroom... but it is right across from the Marriott so a safe and relatively quiet area. The best part about this place is that if we had any questions at all (like with the keypad when I forgot to bring my check-in instructions)  the hosts were right there to help us 24 hours a day and that was wonderful. We would stay here again most definitely on our next trip to Austin!!"
1529416,48882923,2015-09-29,16093247,Bryan,"Booking was quick and easy, Erica and the Turnkey team were very communicative. The Turnkey VR app was great and provided all necessary information.

The property itself was a perfect location. Close to 6th street bars, great restaurants, and with access to highways for any out-of-downtown activities. We had all the necessary amenities. I'd recommend this property for a group of 4 as it was perhaps a bit small for us (6) but it didn't in any way diminish our enjoyment. I won't hesitate to book with Turnkey in the future."
1529416,51526749,2015-10-21,9468824,Virginia,"Erica was communicative and helpful. She answered all questions promptly. It was nice having a phone number to call for ""troubleshooting."""

1529416,53243394,2015-11-07,13995649,Justin,"Wow, what a great location! We were in town for AFF and it's only a couple blocks from the Driskill. The place has new appliances and you don't have to carry any keys around or anything, so that was great. Definitely stay here if you want to be able to walk to downtown!"
8126954,46066216,2015-09-07,42941003,Bryan,"My host Alex made me feel very welcome and the area of Austin is fabulous with such close proximity to the new Lady Bird Lake boardwalk! The place was clean and safe and very convenient to all the downtown places I needed to go. I really liked the paint scheme too since it reminded me of the colors of my late grandparents' Lake Travis home! There is a great coffee shop open 24 hours close by and nearby HEB Plus is a great place for groceries.  I also, liked being able to use Pleasant Valley to get to east Austin while bypassing IH35."
8126954,47838847,2015-09-21,43809769,Eesha,The apartment was really nice and it is located in a quite area .The host was very prompt and communication was easy before check in and at the time of check out . I would recommend this apt . Overall it was a good deal .

So quiet and close to downtown . close to all conveniences (Bus station, HEB, Starbucks ...) and the boardwalk along the Colorado river !! Alex was a great host and I highly recommend this place to enjoy Austin,TX :) Thank you - Maxime"
8126954,51580400,2015-10-21,46411552,Peter,"Alex was very good with communicating promptly to any questions I had. The location itself couldn't have been more convenient, there were great local places for food, coffee, and supplies nearby. There was never more than a 15 minutes to where we needed to go (including the Austin airport!). The place itself was as advertised in a very quiet neighborhood with all the essentials and was a great place to stay in Austin!"
8126954,52230747,2015-10-27,33067084,Fabrizio,"Alex place was good! The apartment has all the minimum necessary, the location is quite, close to the bus stop and 5 min drive to dt. I recommend this place!"
2934876,32099203,2015-05-13,2557087,Berk,The host canceled this reservation 142 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2934876,33339974,2015-05-26,15637435,Tommy,"The house was nice, clean, and consistent with the photos on AirBnB.  My guests & I felt safe and comfy there (when we had power -- read on).  
However, we did encounter an issue with the cable TV service, as well as, a temporary power outage due to a major thunderstorm that several neighborhoods in Austin (not anyone's fault, but it made the stay uncomfortable & inconvenient the first night there). 
Thankfully, Ric was understanding and promptly worked out an agreeable solution. 
Overall, we enjoyed the place, liked dealing with Ric, and would come back again."
2934876,46023215,2015-09-07,41109615,Daniel,"Everything was clean and organized. Plenty of hot water for everyone to shower. Great (website hidden) took quite some time to cool off the place, but once it did, it was great. In house washer and dryer was very convenient, and supplied detergent was a nice perk. Parking was difficult and driveway was very small, but we managed parking on nearby streets. Overall great experience. We would do it again. "
7913233,52606128,2015-10-31,41377199,Sudheer,"The house was clean, comfortable and quiet. Overall I would recommend the place to anyone coming into town, especially for those looking for long term residence. Martin was communicative and a good host. The location is excellent for exploring the city and has many bars and restaurants within walking distance. "
5434354,37105638,2015-07-04,2867081,Michelle,"This place is convenient, very close to other places we went, and the beds are comfortable, kitchenware is complete that we cook our own breakfast by ourself with no problem. But we can't find shampoo and body wash is the house, so first night we can't take a shower till we buy ones next day. But this is not a big problem. This place is good overall."
5434354,37932871,2015-07-11,7226328,Will,"Julia's house is very easy, spacious and a great place to stay if you're visiting downtown Austin & 6th street! "
5434354,38074551,2015-07-12,4898926,Cynthia,"My husband and I went to Austin with a couple of our friends. We only stayed one night and this place was exactly what we needed! It had all the essentials. It was a 5-10 min uber trip downtown. There are some great east side bar just walking distance. 

The only downside is that it had one bathroom to be shared amongst potentially 6 people. This place is also in a neighborhood that is being somewhat gentrified. We didn't mind though. 

Overall, would recommend it. "
5434354,42934929,2015-08-16,39979205,Jeffrey,"Really affordable for being so close to downtown, easy parking, tons of space to fit 6 people comfortably. There are some great restaurants nearby. The house is super cute and really clean, and the keyless entry is really convienent. Julia maintained great communication so we were always in the loop on checkout times, etc. "
5434354,43994080,2015-08-23,1341236,Thomas,"Property is as described and was very clean. Location not recommended for families with children. 

Communication was prompt but sometimes contradictory messages coming from three different people."

We were pleasantly surprised by daily cleaners who arrived to ensure we had a lovely clean living area. 
I would definitely recommend this house and would stay again in a heartbeat. 
Thank you Julia. "

7916009,52065973,2015-10-26,41179222,Jesse,Patrick was very welcoming and accommodating. His place was in an INCREDIBLE location right in the heart of all of the action. The building itself had fantastic amenities. His place was spacious and had everything you would want/need for a weekend stay.
2141987,11051373,2014-03-18,10179594,Ting,"The pictures don't do the house justice.  Beautiful home, very clean and modern in a great location.  Host was very prompt at responding and even left us a welcome basket!  We had an excellent experience and would definitely consider staying here again next time we're in the area.

"
2384482,28091851,2015-03-17,16475324,April,"Valentina and Herb were wonderful hosts. They offered to pick me up from the airport and did a great job orienting me with the apartment and the area. The place was very clean, and our hosts were happy to provide us with any accommodations we needed, such as an ironing board or a desk. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a small, affordable place to stay right outside of downtown Austin."
2384482,28364510,2015-03-22,13503440,Becca,"Valentina and Herb were amazing hosts. My previous reservation got cancelled right before my trip to Austin for SXSW and they were able to get the place ready for me in a just a few hours. Herb frequently gave me rides downtown and offered to pick me up so I could save money or Uber/taxis. He also helped me get acquainted with the area so I could find my way around and make the most of my time there.  

The purple cave is extremely comfortable and is stocked with some of the most delicious coffee ever! The bed was so comfortable it was hard to wake up in the morning. The bathroom is really beautiful and the shower has TWO rainfall shower heads which is nice after a long day walking around.  You'd think somewhere called the purple cave would be dark and drab but the octagonal windows actually let in beautiful natural light. 

The location can't be beat - you're close enough to downtown so the cab fare is reasonable but you can also walk if you have some time, it really is a beautiful walk. You're RIGHT next to beautiful Zilker park and Barton Springs and some delicious eating options. 

Herb and Valentina are great people who go above and beyond for their guests and The Purple Cave is wonderful place to stay on your next trip to Austin! "
5492366,28142518,2015-03-18,2685660,Ruben,Jason was a great host. Easy to arrange key pickup and dropoff. His apartment is clean and very conveniently (email hidden)de for a great SXSW experience!

5492366,30322336,2015-04-20,29439496,Timothy,"Our stay at Jason's apartment was great. he was very flexible with the check in/check out process and his place was walking distance to the festival that we went to. His apartment comfortably slept 6 of us although, I could see 8 people fitting easily since the couches are huge. sadly it rained most of the time we were there, but we were able to watch the NBA playoffs on his apple tv and with the kegerator there we might as well have been (email hidden)! haha very awesome, cant get that kind of a space with a hotel..."
5492366,30792769,2015-04-27,2949398,Aubrey,"Jason was GREAT! His apartment is better than promised, in a very convenient location - just a hop to the park and even walkable to Congress. He left great instructions, was very friendly, and has free beer on tap!

The beds are comfy, everything is clean and I would totally hang out with Jason if I lived in Austin."
5492366,31380184,2015-05-04,31551023,Anita,"Jason was very hospitable. He responded to questions very quickly and was flexible with our arrival and departure times. The apartment location is great. We were able to walk around to restaurants, downtown etc. "
5492366,32589214,2015-05-19,31819287,Elizabeth,This was a very cozy apartment in a great location. Our friendly host was easy to get in touch with and gave us his laundry card and access bracelets for the pool!
5492366,33156467,2015-05-25,20403037,Nelson,"Great location close to the parks, restaurants, and night life. Jason was easily reached and responded promptly and was even willing to make suggestions. The place was clean and quiet. Definitely Recommend staying at his place."
5492366,49659876,2015-10-05,32685357,Tomas,"We really enjoyed staying at Jason's place during ACL weekend one. He was very accomodating with everything we needed (parking permits, multiple keys, bracelets for the pool, etc.) and he or his roommate, Pavel, were available in case we needed them.

If you are looking for a place for ACL or SXSW this is a great location as it's an easy walk to either Zilker Park, Downtown, as well South Congress. 

The apartment itself is great- plenty of space to sleep and overall is very comfortable. Jason and Pavel were kind enough to provide us with some beverages as well, which we thoroughly enjoyed. I would recommend this apartment as a great place to stay for anyone looking to enjoy Austin. Great experience!"
783943,2923413,2012-11-19,4140052,Gabriel,It was a very good experience. It's a spacious room with a shower and a bathtub.
783943,5955586,2013-07-23,7479131,Jen,A nice big room and comfy bed! The highlight for me was the big bath. Jessica wasn't around much but her upstairs roommates are quiet and respectful. There is cable tv in the bedroom and living room with movie channels and a convienance store nearby.
783943,7059275,2013-09-04,8013755,Ian,"Jessica helped us out of a tough situation where we had to find a new host with less than 24 hours until we left for our trip. She was responsive to our and her place was everything we needed: a clean, spacious room right next to the airport and only a quick drive away from downtown. Thanks for all the help Jessica!"
783943,10439262,2014-02-18,11484830,Laura,"Jessica checked in with me regularly to make sure I had everything I needed.  I really appreciated that.  I had a great stay at her place.  Thanks, Jessica, and best wishes to the others staying in her home.
"
783943,10580754,2014-02-25,11495739,Julie,Jessica was there to greet us at the door and show us our room but we didn't cross paths much after that.  The bed was clean and extremely comfortable.  There were two other housemates who were very friendly and fun to talk with.  We couldn't find much for breakfast but that was okay because there are lots of cute coffee shops in Austin we found.  I'd say Jessica's place is a great value.
783943,10800133,2014-03-08,4984533,Phil,Really nice house and a comfortable stay.  Laundry was easy and also bike parking in the garage.  Added bonus was the extensive cable on the tv.  Great place.  
783943,10977198,2014-03-16,895614,Greta,I stayed with Jessica foe about a week while I saw at SXSW. The location is a bit removed from downtown (about a 10-15 minute drive) so a car was a necessity but it was a very easy drive. The room is great with a very nice bed (very comfy) and a lot of space. Jessica made sure there were a ton of  comforters and pillows. The house is beautiful and very clean. She had a professional cleaner come in half way through my stay as well. She was very responsive and flexible. I highly recommend staying here (just make sure you have a car). 
783943,12650682,2014-05-07,11161281,Dan,"Jessica's room was a great place to stay. Although I didn't see Jessica during my visit, she was in text communication with me and made sure I had access and left me the wi-fi password and fresh bath towels. The room and attached bathroom was well appointed and a very comfortable and inviting space. Her home is also conveniently located on a side street that is near to a Capital Metro 350 bus stop which goes to the airport which is only about 15-20 minutes away. I would definitely stay with Jessica again on future visits to Austin."
783943,13631903,2014-06-01,12636924,Brian,"Although I never met Jessica in person, I did meet her roommate briefly. Everything was just add she listed it and for the price I couldn't have been happier. If you want the down town life look closer to down town as you will have to drive from Jessica's. Not an issue for me as being closer to the airport was more important for my stay. I would definitely stay with Jessica again and maybe even meet her next time."
783943,14004263,2014-06-09,2873761,Reuben,"Jessica's place was quite nice, clean and homy. She provided us with clean sheets and fresh towels during our stay. As late night marauders, she was very accommodating in us leaving and entering. We were allowed to check in and check out late. Will definitely bookmark her place and recommend it as a great listing in ATX."
783943,15022438,2014-06-30,14798420,William,The reservation was canceled 122 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
783943,17834376,2014-08-18,16885696,Nghia,"We got the master bedroom, which was spacious and clean. The other tenants in the house were quiet and kept to themselves. Jessica kept in touch with us via sms to make sure everything was satisfying. "
783943,21256986,2014-10-13,17715578,Van,"Even though Jessica was not there welcome us in person, she kept in touch via text to ensure our stay was perfect. We ended up staying in a wonderful master bedroom with private bath. Everything was very clean with fresh towels laid out for us. 

The housemates were also very kind and the shared areas of the house were kept clean. The neighborhood was nice and felt very safe. We were offered parking in the driveway, which was very convenient. It was very easy to order Lyfts into downtown from this location. We had an amazing time."
783943,28100574,2015-03-17,10457284,Nathalie,John was an absolutely fantastic host! He was helpful and made sure that I had everything I needed. The room was awesome and the bed extremely comfortable. The house is also in a very friendly neighborhood!
783943,28340766,2015-03-22,28842572,Jamie,"John was very welcoming to us for our trip, providing water, a nice room, TV and wifi. John helped give us the lay of the land in what areas would have the most traffic and helped provide us with a care free experience in Austin."
783943,29519792,2015-04-08,97710,Lucie,"FACTS. The 1st thing we wish you to do is to read the 3 previous host reviews about us (2 of them were monthly booking)  Here follows 2 separate events that MUST be told for which the details will be given to airbnb.Firstly we must report the host John locked us out of the house on our 2nd night stay forcing us to sleep in our RV refusing to admit being stupid and not offering any type of compensation. Secondly, because  the host John did not bother to verify or remember the property ordenance he signed with the house, we barely avoided our RV and trailer being towed away that would have been extensive costs to us.  Need be host had said parking on street was ok in writing before booking.   Contrary to listings upstairs has 4 bedrooms (not 3), 2 of which are rented on extended monthly stays and 2 are available for rent on Airbnb for 4 people.  So be aware that up to 6 persons are sharing the same sole shower. Plus the 2 rooms available for rent are not quite since they face at the bakc of the house a huge noisy warehouse with tractor trailers coming in as early as 5 am with beep beep upon backing up. One morning we counted 7 such vehicules at the same time.  This was made worst by the fact that the air conditioning was repaired only on the 12th day of our stay since each day upstairs temperature was above 80F.  Because of this high temperature my husband use the kitchen table to make use of the wifi (temperature 1st floor much cooler) To his dismay the host, though 4 chairs were free at the table asked him to go back to his room and leave the table because he wanted to eat.  For sure there was an argument.  Believe or not the host said he did not write air conditioning was provided in the listing of Airbnb. Speaking of the kitchen upon arrival thst John explained that there are no special rules other than clean up.  The 1st time I did cooking was salmon pie which is mixing 2 cans of salmon wix with cooked potatoes that we heat in oven for 20 minutes.  As we were finishing eating the host arrived complaining we cooked fish, leaves open the front door of the house and completly opened the patio door ...making us feel right at home.  On 2 occasions, upon getting up the son of the host was sleeping in the living room commun area at least we should have been given notice of this which made us feel uncomfortable to have our breakfast. (Though his son was very polite)  Finally on NO occasion during our 13 day stay did we EVER see John smiling neither with us or even with the two other tenants.  His social skills are limited to a mechanical:  How are you doing?"
783943,29850632,2015-04-13,29352683,Larry,We felt very welcomed and the room we stayed in was clean and perfect for our stay.
783943,31895574,2015-05-11,25265472,Yang,"During our 4 nights here for Austin Psychfest, we felt much welcomed by John and Gary (Sorry if I remember your name wrong :D). It had been a pleasure staying here.

John didn't make it for work the day I arrived because I didn't tell him about my delayed flight (I am so sorry). Still he showed me around the place and made sure I feel comfortable with everything there. Beverages and water were offered in the fridge. The private room we stayed in was clean and tidy. Had to share bathrooms with other tenants, but since we came back late every night from the festival there hadn't been any problem. Though we didn't talk much, Gary had been very kind and polite; I was waken by the smell of muffins he made one day morning. Too bad we didn't get to see John very often. Would love to come back here again."
783943,41671986,2015-08-08,29497048,Anthony,"John is a good host and is very accommodating, if you need a spot in south Austin check him out"
783943,43864238,2015-08-22,40814671,David,John was a great host. My stay was very convenient and comforting. I will be back John!
8667342,50728717,2015-10-13,43224835,Kevin Tyler,"Amy was very nice & accommodating. She's very quick & reliable to communicate with & is pretty flexible with check-in times, check-out times, as well as in-&-out access to the house. She provided me with a room that had a huge, soft bed complete with linens, blankets, & towels. The room even had string lights that made it feel more cozy! The bedroom & bathroom were clean. I felt like I was staying at a friend's place when I was here. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a place to stay in south Austin! Amy also provided doughnuts one morning, & they were great!"
8667342,52024480,2015-10-25,36596464,Paul,"I arrived at 11.30 pm and 4 hours later than expected as my flight was delayed.  Amy and I kept in touch during this time and she was fine with me turning up late.  Nice lady.  The house is a bungalow with at least 3 bedrooms. I didn't get to see all of the house, but I had use of the host's kitchen and a bathroom just outside the room exclusively reserved for guests when they have them.  The main fan ceiling light was broken in my room (the fan is working and works silently) and it was a bit gloomy with the room lit only with a desk lamp and some fairy lights.  Amy's husband said he would get it fixed.  In the morning Amy very kindly took me to a local supermarket so that I could buy food for breakfast.  She made me a very nice cup of coffee and she let me cook my bacon and eggs.  Eventually met all of Amy's lovely family including the two friendly dogs.  Didn't get a chance to explore the area as I only stayed 1 night and left around midday the next day.  "
1078,142,2008-09-13,1344,Amy,"A fabulously cozy place!  It was slightly difficult to find in the dark since it's tucked behind a fence and foliage, but a great place over all.  We weren't able to take advantage of the full kitchen, but it was nice to have as an option.  
Thanks!!  Would definitely recommend this place to others."
1078,207074,2011-03-22,451657,Angela,perfect!---:)  Will stay again!
1078,217779,2011-04-04,473682,Jenn,"I had a great stay at Brian's garden apartment. The place was clean and exactly as described. Very quiet neighborhood and I felt safe.  His yard is a little bit of heaven. It's filled with trees, a hammock, a fire pit, lots of birds singing in the morning and afternoon. Also, where ever I looked I saw some art work hanging or lurking in the shrubs....very cool!!! Can't wait to stay here again.

1078,7071134,2013-09-05,420381,Rita,"Fantastic Experience!  My daughter and I stayed at Tracy's apartment for two weeks as we were relocating to Austin.  Although we had a car with us, we didn't need it all the time.  There are restaurants and coffee shops close by.  There is also a nice laundromat within walking distance.  Tracy was a wonderful host.  Even though she was out of town the first few days, she was available by phone to answer a couple of questions.  The place was clean and comfortable with a nice decor.  There were basic pantry items so we could easily cook.  Even though we stayed during the hottest time of the year, we were kept nice and cool with the two window AC units.  The best part was meeting Tracy when she returned from her trip.  She has a wealth of knowledge about Austin and was such a pleasure to talk to.  She definitely made my daughter and I feel at home.  I highly recommend staying at one of Tracy's apartments!"
1078,7277746,2013-09-14,7960194,Kai,"Delightful - beautiful and full of character, it was the perfect environment for a week of research and writing at the university, and I can certainly envision a return visit and a longer stay! Everything was in perfect order and Tracy greeted me with a supply of organic coffee from the local co-op - it was both a retreat and a home from home. "
1078,7667212,2013-09-29,2164776,Kathleen,"We had a wonderful stay at Tracy's Georgeous Hyde Park apartment.  Tracy responds to all communication immediately and is very open to any requests.  We were visiting our adult daughters in Austin and invited them to dinner in the evenings, eating at the big table in the garden well into the evening.  There is a tree beside the table with lots of colored lights which creates a very nice atmosphere.  The house itself is charming, cozy, and very functional.  I can highly recommend the apartment for any long term stay.  You will feel right at home. "
1078,7861527,2013-10-06,4403279,Wendolyn,"Tracy's place was great!  The apartment is adorable and has everything you need - the kitchen fully equipped, comfortable and cute surroundings, etc.  She has a lovely backyard, too.  It's relatively private and in a very convenient location in Austin.  You can zip right over to great restaurants and landmarks.  I would definitely stay again."
1078,8017680,2013-10-13,6542291,Janice,"From the moment we landed in Austin Tracy welcomed us py offering us a ride from the airport. But we wanted to take the easily accessible bus lines in to see the sites along the way. We arrived at Tracy's lovely property mid-day and as we climbed the one short flight of stairs and opened the door to the sweet one bedroom apartment we felt at home and knew we had picked the right location for a relaxing enjoyable stay. It was clean and you can cook with the fully equipped kitchen or easily walk to Wheatfield market to pick up some food or eat in any of the many local eateries, yum. The buses are only a couple blocks away, and Central Market, where we picked up prepared, delicious dinners was an easy way to end our days exploring. We often walked the hyde park neighborhood, through to UT and on to the Capital building grounds. It's a beautiful area, Tracy and Brian are gracious, lovely hosts and you will have a wonderful time if you stay there.  I had initially  intended to travel alone, and was in the process of booking the zen studio for one until my husband decided to join me so I booked the one bedroom. We met the guy who was staying solo in the studio, and he also commented how he was enjoying his stay, so you can't go wrong booking either place. "
1078,8713619,2013-11-13,3984827,John,"We had a great stay at Tracy's upstairs apartment.  The apartment has a great layout, plenty of room, and everything you need for a stay of a week or more.  The kitchen is well equipped for cooking.  The bed is comfortable and the bedroom is quiet.

The apartment has a wonderfully comfortable and homey feeling to it--a number of nice little touches to make you feel welcome.  Tracy is a wonderful host.  Very quick and responsive when we booked,  before arrival, and again as we were leaving.  She made it very clear that we were welcome to use the lovely garden area and let us know we shouldn't hesitate to ask for any assistance.  We would definitely stay with Tracy again."

Tracy decorated everything so nicely in the apartment and everything you need to feel at home is there. Also, the place is positioned really well/ in a safe neighborhood within walking distance to Hyde park cafes, the capitol and downtown. We walked or took buses without a problem for the whole trip. I did not get a chance to meet Tracy but I would definitely like to go back sometime. Tracy, thank you for letting us stay in your apartment!"

Lots of character (just look at the pics), upstairs and surrounded by leafy trees, within walking distance of the northern side of UT's campus, right in the middle of everything-Austin. Owner/host Tracy was personable and helpful. HIGHLY recommend!!!"

From the moment we rented Tracy was contacting us in the most professional and kinda manner. She was extremely flexible too! We checked in really late the first night and she just left the door open with everything we needed inside. I would highly recommend this place to anyone"
1078,10178622,2014-02-04,10858809,Michelle,"My fiance and I stayed at Tracy's adorable bungalow last weekend and what a delight. It was exactly what we needed and expected. We were in town visiting a friend with a small one bedroom in Hyde Park, so to have our very own oasis was fantastic. Tracy set us up perfectly and we had all the tools to explore Austin. The neighborhood was the eclectic Austin I know and love and totally walkable. I have recommended AirBnb to all of my friends and a huge part of that is due to Tracy's lovely hospitality."

1078,10357908,2014-02-15,3004799,Krystal,I absolutely loved this space. It's a great loft-ish apartment with a wonderful inviting restorative feel. The bed is by far the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in and Tracy was just so kind I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 
1078,10464118,2014-02-20,10994558,Seth,Tracy hosted us for our stay over the Valentine's Day/Austin Marathon weekend. She was very accommodating and made herself readily available for any of our requests. It was my first time in Austin and if I return I would gladly book with Tracy again.
1078,10565517,2014-02-25,10515314,Sarah,"We had a lovely stay in Tracy's apartment. It is a convenient location - we did have a car but travelled by bus most of the time. 

The bed was comfortable and though we did not end up cooking any meals during our stay, there is a well equipped kitchen. 

We did not meet Tracy however she was responsive and communication was good.

Highly recommend this place!"
1078,11006163,2014-03-17,2574055,Jenny,"We stayed at Tracy's apartment for SXSW. It was clean and had everything we needed. Tracy was very accommodating for arrival/departure and providing recommendations for food/transport in the area. We took the bus downtown, which was about 15 minutes door to door. We didn't spend too much time at the apartment outside of sleeping but the garden/backyard is really fun and I wish we could have spent more time in it."
1078,11111656,2014-03-21,9926266,Maddie And Josh,My parents and sister really enjoyed their stay! My mom especially loved how bright and breezy it was being on the second floor. The trampoline was a big bonus. Tracy was very nice and helpful- she even offered to let us use a TV from one of her other properties to watch basketball! I would definitely recommend staying here. 
1078,11346785,2014-03-31,11427196,Lauren,"Perfect spot for your next visit to Austin!  We enjoyed staying in this lovely upstairs garage apartment.

1078,12960856,2014-05-15,2602016,Jessica,"While we didn't see much of Tracy, our brief encounters were friendly and welcoming. The rental space is a hidden gem, with all the amenities plus a cozy comfort that made us feel right at home. 

There was parking in a private driveway, a safe and quiet neighborhood encompassing us, and the sights and sounds of Austin were only a few minutes down the road. 

I can't say enough about the apartment. It was the kind of place that you simply don't want to leave. Wonderful decorations, a nod to Washington state in much of the artwork and simple style that represented Austin well. 

Thank you, Tracy, for sharing your space with us. Staying at your apartment was a real treat and made our trip so much more enjoyable than we expected. "
1078,13944753,2014-06-09,11759566,Judy,"My husband and I had an extremely positive experience with our host from the time I made the reservation until we left after our four night stay. In many ways, the ""small apartment"" was more than we expected. Tracy had stocked and outfitted the kitchen with all we would need if we had counted on it to prepare our own meals (we only prepared breakfast, as it turned out) and the bathroom had everything we needed. The bed was just fine and the window air conditioners, combined with ceiling fans, provided sufficient cooling despite an unusually warm week for June. The location was ideal for us because our daughter and grandchildren (one of whom was graduating from high school) live nearby, but would be perfect for any visitor to Austin who wanted to have access to downtown, the UT campus or any of the near-in neighborhoods. But what made the experience really special was the way Tracy expressed her unique personality by creating surroundings inside and out that were at once relaxing and intriguing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend both host and accommodations."
1078,14327277,2014-06-16,10941785,Janet,This is a great place to stay while visiting Austin. The apartment is very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden is also very fun. The apartment is near restaurants and it was easy to get to campus. Tracy is a great host and communicated with me when I had any questions during my stay. We loved our experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting.

Tracy was quick to respond & accommodating.  Location is great for getting to campus, downtown, east or north.  Side note, great wifi.  Highly recommend Tracy's place!"
1078,15584335,2014-07-12,1976132,Lorri,"Loved this precious craftsman-style apartment with a vintage feel, and the location can't be beat. Tracy was exceptionally hands-on -  she was instantly available by text any time we had questions, and the kitchen and bathroom were well set-up with anything someone might need. There were also lots of storage areas in the bedroom so we could totally unpack, and not feel like we were living out of suitcases. We were too busy on this trip to ever sit and enjoy the outdoor areas, but I hope to come back in cooler weather and relax in the tree-covered seating areas in the courtyard. The backyard is like a little peaceful oasis.  "
1078,15968310,2014-07-19,17010283,Linda,"Our host was there to meet us, let us in, give us the key and so on.  She respected our privacy.  "

It's the perfect little area in Austin but you still get the feel of a nice secluded getaway.  Her garden is amazing its so relaxing and cute! The apartment is located within walking distance of a cute cafe and other little shops.  The apartment is so thoughtfully mapped out, she left us cookies and icecream in the fridge and the French press was a great addition. I would definitely stay here again my boyfriend and I really enjoyed it . She was great at communicating with me in a timely manner and made me feel really secure about my booking.

1078,18687244,2014-08-30,4327694,Salvador,"Happy this was my first Airbnb stay. Great experience. Pictures definitely reflect the actual home! Perfect for 3 people to stay. We had sort of a problem with the pullout couch, but host took care of it right away. Host is very attentive, and she texts! (sometimes very convenient) We were welcomed with free coffee and tea!"
1078,18893647,2014-09-02,19135100,Daniel,"Tracy was fantastic and her place was delightful!  Super charming, with a little balcony overlooking the garden.  Quiet, peaceful, and cute, but super close to everything on Guadalupe—we walked five minutes to breakfast and coffee places every morning.  I would stay again in a heartbeat!"
1078,19272483,2014-09-09,13677697,Carole,"Having lived in Austin many moons ago, I can tell you that the location doesn't get much better than this.  You have quick and easy access to the UT campus, great restaurants and hang-outs, groceries, etc. while enjoying the ambiance of a real Austin neighborhood.  The bed was extremely comfortable, the space was charming and perfect for two, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.  Easy parking if you have a car. The living area can get a bit warm during a hot day, but we kept the window shades pulled down while we were gone, and that helped the window units do their job.  Tracy was extremely responsive and was kind enough to supply us with fresh coffee beans, half & half, almond milk and a loaf of bread to get us started.   Tracy's description is accurate: if you're looking for a cookie cutter hotel experience, don't come here, but if you enjoy getting a real feel for a town/city like my husband and I do, this is the perfect place.  We would love to return."
1078,19529618,2014-09-14,7960194,Kai,"My return visit to this lovely and beautifully designed flat was just as delightful as last year's - a perfect home from home for a research visit at the university.  Tracy is such a kind and welcoming host, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.  I shall think of it as my 'Austin' base and hope to book it for a longer visit in the future."
1078,19826761,2014-09-19,11308756,Cinthia,"Tracy is a great host, everything was as described and more! Very confortable and quiet space, very good location in Austin. Will definitely stay there again. "
1078,20083417,2014-09-23,16821858,Veerle,Nice apartment. Well equipped. Quiet neighbourhood.
1078,20359260,2014-09-28,15444983,Jamie,"Tracy is a very responsive host that also respected our privacy.  She left a helpful list of suggestions of places to go in the vicinity of the apartment.  It's nice that the apartment is not right on the street.   It has a great yard,  and when it's lit up with the Christmas lights at night,  it's really magical.  The unit is on the second floor,  so you have a nice view of the trees and the sky.  The location is great for getting around Austin,  and there are food places within walking distance. It has a sweet little balcony if you want to sit and sip your morning coffee. Parking is very convenient. I think the photos listed give a good idea of what the space is like - cozy,  cute, cheerful.   It was quiet and peaceful at night,  and the bed is comfy.  It's the perfect size for a couple looking for a romantic getaway.   I would recommend this spot to others.  "
1078,20576574,2014-10-01,21342954,Lindsey,"This is a great, very cute place in an excellent location. Everything was really nice- nothing but positive things to say about staying here! I would definitely stay here again. It's quiet, well furnished, mellow, peaceful, and there are lots of nice outdoor spaces to relax in. "
1078,20944515,2014-10-08,8143518,Jac,"The apartment and it's location fit our needs to a tee!  The space has charm and clearly has a history which we quickly fell in love with.  The set up makes it possible to visit with other guests as well as our hosts.  I can't think of a better way to find out how things work.  We discovered the local restaurants and grocery, drug stores etc.  so we really had no major needs that couldn't be attended to.  Tracy is wonderful and if you are very patient, a visit with her laid back cat is possible.  What a great complement to a visit to the city."
1078,21467163,2014-10-18,15490318,Cody,"Our host left us the apartment in pristine shape, including a kitchen with glasses, plates and coffee! The pull out couch was easy to... pull out, and we were able to sleep well everynight. The shower is a bit small, but it did the trick. We just loved how close we were to stuff. We highly recommend exploring the area around here on foot. We walked over to Torchy's Tacos one day for lunch and had a blast!"
1078,21704895,2014-10-22,10952213,Connie,"My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay at Tracy's Austin apartment.  Great, quiet, safe feeling neighborhood within walking distance to UT and so much more.  I loved the outdoor space and the kitchen's amenities such as French press.  Wonderful spot."
1078,21840175,2014-10-25,22019524,Morgan Alexei,"Hi Tracy, 

The place was fantastic. Thank you for letting me stay at your apartment. You made it so easy. I wouldn't change a thing. I even *tried* to French press my coffee. :) 

Thanks! "
1078,21940307,2014-10-27,1460700,Peggy,"Tracy's apartment has a great location, very convenient to restaurants and local shops.  The lights in the yard at night are very festive and the table and chairs make for a cozy picnic spot."
1078,22105177,2014-10-30,21536763,Kathleen,"Tracy was very friendly and welcoming. The apartment and amenities were exactly as listed and very comfortable. We felt safe in the neighborhood - plenty of store and restaurant options within walking distance. Loved the small balcony overlooking a lovely, green common space. We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much!"
1078,22353342,2014-11-04,14168260,Allan,"Tracy was an excellent host and provided lots of useful information and maps of the local area. The apartment was perfect, a real home from home with everything we needed. The garden was great too!  "
1078,22576499,2014-11-10,17473438,Katie,"Very cute and cozy space!  Its in a great neighborhood, a nice walk or cheap Uber ride to many things.  Thank you!"
1078,22757883,2014-11-14,16150902,Samantha,"The apartment is super cosy, warm and inviting and so is Tracy! She left us so many helpful tips and info and she was very accommodating. She provided us with all the kitchen/bathroom essentials and more. The set up is great and her backyard is awesome. The location was perfect for us and felt very safe. We had a lovely 4 night stay. Thank you for having us. "
1078,22891479,2014-11-17,10398380,Jn,"Tracy was great! Very communicative, left great directions, accommodated my arriving earlier than her and EVEN left on space heaters around the apt so that we came into a warm and cozy place!"
1078,23033639,2014-11-21,20105438,Beth,"The listing was just as Tracy described and was both clean and stocked with everything I needed. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and her property is very nice. Tracy left information about Austin (a ""guidebook"") that was very helpful, and there was coffee/tea and milk in the kitchen. And there was a new couch."
1078,24059708,2014-12-18,24463115,Marc,"Tracy was a friendly host with a cozy apartment in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Hyde Park has some beautiful houses and it's great to walk around, not too far from UT and local shops and restaurants, and Tracy has convenient off street parking for those with a car. We'd love to stay there again on our next trip to Austin!"
1078,24176485,2014-12-22,21926035,Jordan,"Tracy was very friendly and welcoming. She left everything we needed in the apartment which made it even more cozy. Everything was clean and well taken care of in the apartment. The garden was open to our use and was a beautiful thing to wake up to in the morning. The neighborhood is very quiet and is in a great location. Anything you could need is within walking distance. Downtown is just a short car ride away, too. All in all it was a great trip with a great host. Would definitely recommend Tracy and will stay with her again. "
1078,24645208,2015-01-01,13189941,Rachel,"Tracy was able to accommodate our early arrival and made us feel very welcome. The apartment was extremely clean and well-maintained. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more--loved making French press coffee every morning! The bed was so comfortable. We loved how bright the apartment got during the day--there are windows in every room. Even though it was a little chilly in Austin when we visited, Tracy had set up space heaters in the apartment that kept the place cozy and warm. Tracy's yard was beautiful, especially when lit up at night by the amazing Christmas lights. The apartment was centrally located and we were able to walk to a variety of restaurants, coffeeshops, and the nearby Central Park and Central Market. We stayed for a week and it was tough to leave!"
1078,25010931,2015-01-05,12401374,Alicia,The little garage apartment was great for a few days in Austin over New Years. It had all the amenities that we needed and was in a quiet neighborhood. Getting downtown was a quick $10 cab fare. 
1078,25143159,2015-01-07,10966310,Jana,"Love, love, LOVE this place. If I was in a different phase of life, I would be pressing Tracy to let me rent from her year-round..."
1078,27060782,2015-02-24,1385024,Evan,"We loved our stay & Tracy's!  She was very nice and super accommodating.  Upon arrival, we were greeted with a nice refreshing local ale to help ease us in after traveling all day.

She also offered excellent dining options (be sure to try Hopfields:)

Location was great for us- walking/running  distance to Campus and  spots for food / drink.
 All in: great stay!"
1078,27643017,2015-03-09,6761421,Nancy,"My daughter and I had a wonderful time. The home is as listed, clean, convenient and the bed and bedding were extremely comfortable.  Tracy was very accommodating.  The neighborhood was close to UT which was a plus.  Thanks Tracy! "
1078,27791285,2015-03-12,23834360,Elizabeth,"A friend and I visited Austin & needed separate bedrooms- Tracy's 1 bedroom apartment with a fold out couch was perfect!  Less expensive & much more fun than 2 separate hotel rooms or a suite.  

The apartment is lovely, very clean and nicely decorated.  Tracy's yard is also beautiful, a great place to hang out. The bed & the couch were very comfortable. There was coffee & lots of cooking utensils provided.  The neighborhood is great, an easy walk to the UT area & close to bus stops.  

Both of us said we'd definitely rent the apartment again for future trips.  
"
1078,28116233,2015-03-18,3229512,Danielle,Tracy answered all of our questions and was super helpful! Great host!
1078,28379218,2015-03-23,14892434,Tamara,"We LOVED staying here.  Easy access to UT and downtown- bus stop two short blocks away (and Austin has a great app for purchasing bus tickets).  Tracy makes you feel at home- coffee, cream, and more waiting for us.  Super comfortable, well stocked, great light.  We would love to return.  Starbucks, grocery store, and Amy's Ice Cream short walk, but far enough away making neighborhood quiet.  
"
1078,28659888,2015-03-28,5690545,Kaitlyn,"We had a wonderful stay at Tracy's apartment. The location is wonderful, the space is lovely and she even stocked the kitchen with beer and coffee upon our arrival. Overall, I was very pleased with our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book with Tracy again."
1078,28813983,2015-03-30,22086280,Kelsie,"Great apartment in Hyde Park! It was very clean and cozy and in a very convenient location (it's a very cheap uber to downtown / the east side). We didn't spend much time in the backyard, but it was beautiful."
1078,28866221,2015-03-31,4189250,Joop,"It was a wonderful experience to stay in Tracey's apartment. Everything was as described, but the beautiful garden and the lovely smell of the wisterias in bloom added on to the experience! Warmly recommended."
1078,29303262,2015-04-06,8552895,McKenzie,"We had a great stay at the Craftsman 1920 apartment in Hyde Park! The accommodations were perfect, the apartment is adorable, and the surrounding neighborhood was fun to explore. We'd stay there again anytime we're back in Austin! "
1078,29830406,2015-04-13,3436218,TonjaMarie,"We loved the garden lights and outdoor seating at Tracy's apartment. The space is very comfortable, quiet and super clean.  There was a handy guide for local restaurants and shopping.  Ceiling fans and window A/C to boot!"
1078,30062894,2015-04-17,23119791,David,"This is a lovely apartment in a quiet, safe neighbourhood a stone's throw away from restaurants, shops and the university. It has a balcony and plenty of space, and is clean and well kept. I have stayed in Hyde Park a number of times and I would definitely stay here again. Tracy was a friendly and thoughtful host - when the water was turned off by the city for a few hours she offered to bring bottled water, which was very kind. Apartment can be easily cooled - important in Austin - with two large window A/C units. Highly recommended!"
1078,30282271,2015-04-20,19973038,Jp,"Great stay at Tracy's apartment for a long weekend in Austin with my family.  Perfectly located and close to everything we wanted to do while in town.  

Although we never actually got to meet Tracy while in town, she was very responsive to all communications ahead of our arrival and got us in to the apartment on time with no issues.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin..."
1078,30618578,2015-04-25,25543140,Van,"Great little apartment and wonderfully helpful and gracious host. We were very comfortable during our stay. The bed was so soft and the sheets were clean and crisp. Tracy was very accessible during our stay, helping out with little things as needed, but not intruding at all during our stay. And don't be concerned with the low price. This place is really a steal for what you get compared to nearby Airbnb properties. I highly recommend staying here. "
1078,30716562,2015-04-26,18286832,Avram,"Lovely, little mother-in-law suite amongst the treetops, with loads of ambient light.  Felt very comfortable here; feels a bit better than the photos would suggest.
Located in a pleasant, leafy neighborhood, we easily walked to Black's BBQ, passing oak lined lanes and parks along the way.
Apartment was clean and well-appointed; with coffee grinder and beans (my personal favorite feature!).  Kitchen even offers ability to cook.  Bathroom and bedroom spacious and well-lighted also.  
Tracy was most gracious, receiving us in the common lush backyard.  She's been most helpful throughout, and we'll definitely stay here again."
1078,31102992,2015-05-02,2164357,Stephen,"Our stay with Tracy was awesome. The place was everything and more we were expecting. Tracy was great, there were no issues with anything, we used many of her recommendations that she left for us. Would definitely stay here again anytime I'm in Austin, highly recommended."
1078,31735609,2015-05-09,7421682,Ruky,"Nice place, just as described. 
Walking distance from some cool spots. 
Tracy was very nice. "
1078,32109837,2015-05-14,4718338,Courtney,"Tracy’s place is SO cute and very clean; perfect for our stay!! She was prompt when replying to emails, very sweet, and laid-back about checking in and out. If we were relocating to Austin, we would have liked to move in  :)"
1078,32537465,2015-05-19,5878470,Christopher,"Tracy was very helpful and responsive during the weekend. The neighborhood is great, as well as the off-street parking. Very close to Guadalupe street, I-35, Mopac, but also very quiet (aside from the birds in the morning...can't do much about that though!). I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin."
1078,36632218,2015-06-29,30382669,Shannon,We enjoyed our stay at this lovely spot in the trees! It was a perfect place for two and very comfy with lots of light. The location was a simple 12 minute drive to downtown and easy access to freeways yet inside a neighborhood to feel at home. Tracy helped us get settled smoothly thanks to her timely communication. Recommended!
1078,36903577,2015-07-02,33534755,Will,"Tracy's apartment was excellent.  It was very spacious, very quiet, and it was located in a great part of town.  I would definitely stay with Tracy again if I have to stay in that part of Austin.  Tracy kept in excellent contact with me and I highly recommend a stay for anyone staying in the Austin area looking to get just a little north of downtown."
1078,37574640,2015-07-08,34304817,Nate,"Her place was clean, comfortable, quiet and convenient to UT.  I appreciated the coffee set up with a fresh, organic container of cream in the fridge. Thank you for a pleasant first experience with Airbnb!
"
1078,38011232,2015-07-12,33599928,Hilary,"This listing was charming and was as advertised.  Perfect location and the setting made us feel like we were staying in a tree house, with the upstairs apartment and trees surrounding it.  Would definitely recommend Tracy's apartment."
1078,39836822,2015-07-26,23464219,Sheila,"Tracy's craftsman apartment has charming decor: neutral relaxing tones, cosmopolitan/vintage style. I felt like I was sleeping in a tree house-with views of the backyard foliage and there is a sweet balcony off  the living room. I loved well equipped kitchen (and the unexpected touch of the toile wallpaper).  Tracy has obviously worked hard to give her guests a very clean and serene environment and is an unobtrusive but very responsive host.  This feels like a true retreat yet it is centrally located. There is a wonderful zen backyard that I would have loved to relax in but Austin mosquitoes ambushed me (a reoccurring problem since childhood). I enjoyed a nice selection of books and a super comfy bed.  Definitely a great deal!"
1078,40328053,2015-07-30,9573470,Daniel,Everything was wonderful. Great space and location. Host was very knowledgeable of the area. I did not see her much but she was available by text and phone any time I had a question. Great property and very clean.
1078,41662420,2015-08-08,38937013,Shannon,"Tracy was a great host! When I arrived a little earlier than planned, she quickly got the room ready as I explored the neighborhood. The space was great for what I needed during my week long stay as I began work. It was close to the bus stop, a quick walk to campus, and had great access to local restaurants and grocery stores."
1078,42215492,2015-08-11,40429018,Ian,"From the moment we drove up, we knew we would love the place. The location was ideal, a short drive from downtown Austin and the wonderful Barton Springs. The apartment was quaint and welcoming! The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen was decently sized. Would strongly recommend!"
1078,42720476,2015-08-15,10417962,Brennen,Tracy's apartment was very cozy and had everything we needed for a short stay. The apartment was just as described. The local coffee and French press were nice touches! Great location in Hyde Park. Tracy was quick to respond to our questions and concerns.
1078,43114767,2015-08-17,39559864,MIeko,"I really enjoyed her peaceful and artistic apartment. I loved a quiet neighborhood and her apartment was closed to downtown and all the places I have visited. I felt like I was actually living in Austin rather than being a tourist. Tracy was very quick to respond to my needs and even though I did not get to meet her in person, I could tell that she is a very caring and kind person. "
1078,43791944,2015-08-22,38034766,Victoria,"We enjoyed our stay at the apartment.  It was a great location for us and was very comfortable. The host was communicative and we were well informed about the apartment. Moreover, the host was very understanding of our travel delays due to multiple airline flight cancellations including weather-related flight delays. 
We definitely recommend the apartment to others."
1078,47455757,2015-09-19,5830605,Robert,"We spent a full week at Tracy's apartment in Austin, I doubt you will find a better host within AirBnB. Tracy was super as was the apt, it was cool despite a very hot period, it was clean, well situated and very comfortable. We tried to find an area of improvement for future guests but we couldn't. Everything was tremendous. "
1078,47964181,2015-09-22,23876439,Samantha,Tracy was an excellent host! Her detailed instructions made for a seamless check-in process and she remained very accessible throughout the weekend. The home is both centrally located and in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend!
1078,48470133,2015-09-26,25322620,Charles,"I stayed with Tracy during a frustrating time. She was the consummate host, greeting me with a beer to nurse my sorrows. Her apartment apartment is the perfect size for 1-2 people, in a prime location near UT, and is tastefully decorated with beautiful period details. Tracy is a real Austin character and I recommend her as a host without reservation."
1078,48747820,2015-09-28,1579304,Nathan,"Tracy was a wonderful host! She made us feel very welcome from the initial email till the moment we left. The property is beautiful, located in a quiet and very safe neighborhood close to many delicious restaurants and fun places to check out. It was very clean and well decorated, always a huge plus in our book. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well, which was perfect after a long day of traveling. We had a later flight on our day of check out and Tracy was very accommodating and allowed us to leave our bags with her. Such a great stay and highly recommend to everyone!"
1078,49292329,2015-10-02,2265295,Lee,"If you are looking for a quiet, charming place in one of Austin's best neighborhoods then Tracy's apartment is a perfect choice. The backyard where the apartment is located is nicely landscaped with lots of shade and places to hang out and relax. And the best of Austin is literally minutes from the front door."

The apartment was lovely and homey, everything very clean and convenient with lots of nice little details, and the yard was beautiful too. Tracy responded right away when I messaged her with a question, but gave us privacy the rest of the time which was great for us. We had a great vacation staying in Austin! "
1078,51834960,2015-10-24,3263606,Trey,"Tracy is an excellent host. She has the home set up in a way where all your needs are met because everything has already been considered. If you have any questions, Tracy is available and responds quickly by text. The location is excellent and you can walk to lots of restaurants and markets nearby. Also, the area is very safe. We had a great stay and we will definitely be back."
5339798,28088056,2015-03-17,23092877,Erin,"Diana was the perfect host. The house is exactly as described and the photos are an accurate representation. 
Diana met us when we arrived, showed us around, let us know the local amenities and ensured we were settled in. She even left some local nibbles and snacks for during our stay, a lovely touch.

The house is very clean, well cared for and comfortable. The main bedroom and ensuite was very private, meaning it was comfortable to stay there on a business trip with a colleague.
An easy walk/ bus/ uber into town, with the cool East 6th St bars only a 5 minute walk away."
5339798,28218863,2015-03-20,5213356,Brandon,"House is in a great location, not too far from all of the SXSW action. Very well kept and a nicely stocked kitchen of snacks."
8625088,50569495,2015-10-12,45773374,Gram,Andrew was very accommodating and great to work with. Great location for the ACL weekend. Will stay again.

4248605,32463681,2015-05-18,28407685,Jamie,"Words cannot express the sheer disappointment our group felt when we stayed at this ""8 acres"" house this weekend. First of all, and probably the biggest issue, was that we really wanted a house with a pool. And this house was advertised as having a pool and deck that were both ""fabulous."" That pool was so filthy and disgusting that no one even considered swimming in it or sitting by it. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, if ever. We seriously would have picked another house with a functioning pool had we known. For that reason alone I think we should get our money back. It was a complete bait and switch. The other issue was that the house had bugs...A lot of bugs. We would come downstairs in the morning and find ants all over the kitchen counter. And the only food we had out was a cluster of bananas. We would find strange bugs all over the house and it was so gross. The house description also said that it was renovated, which if it was, I couldn't tell you what was renovated about it. Everything was old, there was damage to the walls and paint, the floors had issues and the deck seemed like it wasn't very sturdy. The icemaker in the freezer didn't work, the living room smelled like smoke from the fireplace and there wasn't enough seating for the amount of people that the house claimed to accommodate. Aesthetics aside, it just seemed in bad shape and probably shouldn't have been advertised as renovated. I think this house would be fine if you don't mind dingy houses or bugs, and aren't looking for a pool. On the positive side, when we checked in we realized that we needed more towels and the management company, Turnkey Rentals, came over with more towels for us very promptly. We definitely appreciated that.  "
7954869,45910532,2015-09-06,43290574,Raynor,"My girlfriend and I stayed the weekend at Daniel's place. Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting Daniel face to face, his housemate Wendy was more than welcoming to us (as were their pets!). The room had all sorts of cool little decorations, a comfy bed, and an awesome bathroom. They even had a list of all the things you should check out while in town! All in all this was a great place to stay while in Austin."

2502288,10968132,2014-03-15,12844373,Yoel,"JW is a great host. His place was perfect during my time at SXSW. Very well located, a clean and welcoming space.  "
2502288,28521998,2015-03-25,8478521,Martine,"We had a lovely time at Jw Walthall,him and his roommate are very hospitable and helpful with great tips to discover the town.The room is large and quiet,with private (email hidden)e use of the kitchen,living room and little terrace,makes it very homy.The area is very convenient,safe ,attractive,just far enough from the the crazy crowd of the center.Thank you Jw,you made us love Austin even better.

7881132,46359447,2015-09-09,28002922,Max,Cody's place was great! I stayed just for one night but it was clean and well kept. Cody was quick to respond to any questions I had about the area and was able to suggest some local attractions. It was actually perfect location for me near the train station and close to the domain area. I will definitely consider his place if available next business trip I have in that area of town.
7881132,46456204,2015-09-10,43213294,Nicolás,"Cody is very friendly, the place is very comfortable. It's near to train station therefore is easy to take transport to anyplace of the city."
5637168,30269010,2015-04-19,31298754,Jordan,I had an Amazing experience staying at Lindsey's place! She couldn't have made me feel more welcome and even showed me around some of the places on 5th and 6th. The Location is incredible. Less than 50m from the heart of 6th and a stroll to Rainey street yet still quiet enough to get some good rest. The Accom was also very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!
5637168,30403702,2015-04-21,13676461,Jennifer,"Lindsey was the sweetest host!  She made sure all amenities & expectations were met; checked up on her guests/house daily; and answered any/all questions we had around the neighborhood and exploring Austin in general.  Plus, the house itself is super clean and comfortable. :)"
5637168,30714320,2015-04-26,30880397,Erin,"Lindsey was very friendly and checked in at some point every day to make sure all her guests were comfortable. 

The loft itself is pretty open, with curtains instead of doors and no ceilings on rooms. This didn't bother me, but if you're a light sleeper or need your privacy this might not be the right place for you. 

The location is awesome and centrally located! You're within walking distance to plenty of stuff to do. Or a cheap Uber/Lyft/cab.    
"
5637168,31014184,2015-04-30,30877621,Adam,"From the very first moment, Lindsey made me feel right at home.  Her place was immaculate, spacious, and lively.  Not only was her beautiful, but there was a constant stream of fun and interesting people coming through.  We all hung out as people came and went, with Lindsey joining in frequently.  Also, the location was perfect - a quiet nook downtown and near everything."
5637168,31226004,2015-05-03,28974341,Brian,"Lindsey is a great host, very welcoming, quick responses, and offered up some good suggestions on places to check out. The description of the listing is accurate, you can't beat this location just off 6th St. Communal style living, others staying their were also very nice, my only complaint is that I couldn't stand up straight in the loft bedroom(I'm 6'1""). Not really a big deal for me as I really just used the place to crash at night and shower in the morning. Would definitely stay here again!"
5637168,32423800,2015-05-17,15017254,Luciano,"Awesome host! Amazing location, close to the main city spots! I would stay at this place again!"
5637168,32730462,2015-05-20,8503234,Christopher,"Like many things, you get what you pay for.  Hotels in this area routinely go for 300-400 for night so if you need a place to lay your head, this is a great option.  If you want to meet people from all over, this is great option.  The location is awesome if you want to be downtown.  Wifi is fast and free.  There are fixins for breakfast as well.  Lindsey is very nice and very flexible with check in and check out.  She also can give good recommendations.  For me, it was a very pleasant experience.  Just know that this place is  very much like a hostel, which may not be for everybody.  It is a loft that has been retrofitted with several sleeping places.   When I was there, there were three other people who were all very nice.  I had my own room, but a full occupancy, many of the rooms will be shared.   If this is not for you, do not book this place.  If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the best as people can come in and out as they please and may make some noise.  If you are tall, ask not to be placed in the bunkbed room.  Also, there is only one bathroom.     That being said, i would stay here again.   "
5637168,33375755,2015-05-27,3177634,Naomi,"With this place you really need to read the description of the unit to understand what it is. I would compare it to more of a hostel environment, but cleaner and nicer. I stayed in the Green room with the bunkbed. It was a very comfortable bed but it is small - not for the tall, but it worked for me being short 5""-3"". The overall lodging was comfortable. The space was kept nice and cool, a nice break for the hot-humid weather outside. There is only one shower/tub and toilet, but it worked fine with all of the people staying there. There are two sinks and a large counter space with plenty of room to get ready. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with coffee, milk in the fridge, utensils, etc for cooking if you want to prepare your own meals. 

This is the place to be if you want to be close to the 6th St fun. That being said, 6th St is the party place to be and the noise spills onto the streets by the loft and you will hear it during the night. Be prepared to bring ear plugs and I recommend a sleep eye mask if you are light sensitive since you are in a shared space with ambient light from others. 

I really had a blast meeting my loft-mates. I made friends with a few of them and hung out for drinks in the evenings and even during the day. The loft was full the first night (Saturday) I was there but by Monday night it was practically empty. 

I'd love to return back with a group of girlfriends for a fun trip. Great place and a  great price for the location. "
5637168,33840354,2015-06-01,24965725,Chris,"Perfect location, as described.  The place was very clean and everyone I met, hosts and other guests, were nice and friendly.  Would def stay again, and recommend to any of my friends!  It is a block away from Wanderlust, a great yoga studio, too for any yogis out there.  "
5637168,35846664,2015-06-22,33842860,Evan,"Awesome loft in the heart of Austin. Had a wonderful weekend and was immediately welcomed by the guests already there (Jenny and Whitney). The bunk-bed room had some of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on, they truly blew me away, while the bathroom and shower were clean and modern. Nothing but great things to say! Thank you Kaela and Linsdey!"
5637168,40142953,2015-07-28,33296047,Lauren,"This place is amazing! It is located right at the heart of downtown Austin. It's in walking distance to the capital, South Congress, East 6th Street, and Lady Bird Lake. The hostel itself was such a great place to stay and meet countless adventurous people! I made lifelong friends through Lindsey and Kaela's place. The two of them were so nice and helpful and invited their guests to join them in fun weekend activities. I can't wait to stay there again when I return to Austin."
5637168,41359789,2015-08-07,2409738,Olga,"The place is wonderful and the location was great, so I had a very positive experience overall. To express feedback that might be helpful to the host for future occasions, there was a glitch at check in, the welcome email identified incorrect room for me to occupy, the room that I was told in advance to occupy was already occupied by someone else, and the host was not present to correct the issue; and the bed had a fresh bottom sheet but no top sheet so I had to find the top sheet myself from the pile of laundry. In summary - good place to stay, but check in should have been smoother."
5637168,41939810,2015-08-10,33193919,Amy,"There are ""accommodations"" and there is a character trait of someone being truly ""accommodating"" ... with Lindsey you get both. I had a ""unique"" situation and Lindsey went out of her way to be accommodating. She was kind and communicative and handled my needs perfectly, making for an incredibly memorable visit. The loft is just as described... fun, funky and right in the middle of everything. To all other prospective travelers, all I can say is book with confidence. You'll be glad you did. We are already planning a 2016 return for the same event and we wouldn't think of staying anywhere else. Thanks, Lindsey and Kaela"
5637168,42801616,2015-08-15,21022055,Tim,"From the loft you can reach most places in Austin by foot otherwise Uber is a good cheap option. The accommodation was more like a hostel but is clean, tidy and friendly.

Lindsay was very welcoming and always available to give advice if needed.

Would stay again if I'm in town!"
5637168,43786249,2015-08-22,37146557,Sean,"Lindsey does an excellent job describing the what you are getting. I was not disappointed in the least. This location is perfect and the loft was very clean and quiet. The others staying there were great also. Made a few new friends.  If you are over 6 foot like myself and are in one of the bunk beds you will be sleeping diagonal, it was a comfortable bed though. I will be using Lindsey's place again next year with out a doubt. "
5637168,45962652,2015-09-07,33388074,Razaria,"Even though I did not met Lindsey in person, she was very efficient in communicating with me via text. Lindsey provided details instructions, which assisted in me traveling to location, getting the key and what amenities were available. Lindsey was very flexible and helpful when my flight plans change unexpectedly. The location was very clean and welcoming. I stayed in the ""green room"" top bunk with another guest. The bed was very comfortable and she provided a towel and washcloth.  If you are easily woken up, I highly suggest a eye mask and earplug due to the bathroom's light reflection and the sound of the shower when it is being used. Overall, I have a great experience and would stay here if I am ever back in Austin.  Thank you Lindsey!!! :)"
5637168,49704260,2015-10-05,27231665,Nicolás,"It's been a great week at Lindsey & Kaela's place.
The place is as described: nicely decorated, very tidy and clean. 

I stayed in the Green room with another guets. The top bunk bed was really confortable, didn't miss mine at all. They've also provided towels and you can do your laundry if you need to.

Location couldn't be better: walking distance to almost everywhere or a cheap Uber ride away. Bars on 6th street are just a couple of blocks away and the beautiful Barton Springs is 30' walk through the river trail.

Neighbourhood felt quiet and safe. I've been walking around day and night without issues.

Lots of fun things to do. Guests I met during my stay there were very welcoming and we hanged out a couple of times.

Kaela was kind enough to check if everything was ok before I arrived. I highly recommend taking the airport bus to get there (as adviced), it's quick and very cheap!

I'd definitely stay in Lindsey and Kaela's place again, and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great place to stay in a great location. "
5637168,51143444,2015-10-18,40467421,Peter,The lofts are really cool. Great way to meet fellow travellers and walking distance to everywhere downtown . Good vibes.
337149,996135,2012-03-13,69464,Marc,"This is a great spot. Clean and airy interior, very comfortable, sweet backyard, all in a great neighborhood. Jessica was a great host and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay here again."
337149,1241215,2012-05-07,1834482,Lara,"Austin plus girls weekend was great, as always. The house was modern and super cute. Great space. Our only downfall was the 4 passenger rule because there were 6 of us...so we had to wait for 2 always. lol. But all around it was a super fun. "
337149,1521021,2012-06-19,2659761,Mason,"This was a beautiful, architect designed house in the heart of Austin's Eastside neighborhood.  An awesome space with high ceilings and ton's of natural light.  It was super convenient and close to everything.  The owner's can provide everything you need for a comfortable stay, including great recommendations for bars, restaurants and activities.  A great place to hang out and enjoy all that Austin has to offer."
337149,2537631,2012-10-08,3269190,Rebecca,"Awesome cute house, includes everything you might need. Host was very accommodating. Close to Lady Bird Lake trail, so excellent location for walkers/runners/bikeriders. Highly recommended."
337149,2769867,2012-10-31,887013,Rob,"The house was perfect. Close to so much on the East side and a sleek elegant design. Even a cab downtown was cheap and quick. We had a great time in Austin and Jessica's place was everything we wanted. Large backyard to enjoy the warm nights, walking distance to a bunch of bars and restaurants and a super responsive hosts.

Thanks again Jessica for a great week!"
337149,2825094,2012-11-07,887013,Rob,It was a perfect stay! Love the listing ;)
337149,2925589,2012-11-20,2715818,Adriana,We stayed for a weekend and it was great. The house was very clean and in a great neighborhood. 
337149,3581289,2013-02-19,4565272,Megan,"I contacted Jessica about her beautiful house for a bachelorette weekend. She was a joy to deal with, was able to get to the property as fast as lightening, showed me the works. She also sent a list of cool restaurants and bars to check out. The house is in an ideal location, is beautiful and full of light and sleeps 6, or 7, if you count the couch! Nothing could be better. It fit our needs to a T. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone interested in exploring all Austin has to offer. "
337149,3632884,2013-02-26,186277,Christian,"Jessica's home is clean, inviting, and comfortable. The neighborhood is in a convenient area in the vicinity of east 6th and downtown. We had a week stay and was very at home and got along fine, and especially appreciated the washer/dryer. Jessica was very easy to communicate with and was available and flexible when we needed to extend another night. I'd highly recommend Jessica's place for a easy stay in Austin."
337149,3684987,2013-03-04,1451473,Corey,"Jessica was great! She was very helpful, telling us about the neighborhood and how to get around. The house itself was great, and we'd recommend it highly!"
337149,3786785,2013-03-15,3390559,Rachel,"In most ways this place came as advertised. Jessica was nice and helpful in initially getting the keys to us quickly and easily. There were a couple things that weren't ideal for our group, though. The place is really cute--it looks exactly like the pictures--but there were some oddities. There's no microwave in the house, and none of the bedrooms have full-length mirrors. (There is one full-length mirror, but it's in the living room.) The other big thing was location. We came out to attend SXSW and wanted something which was a very short walk to the Austin Convention Center. This place is a 20 minute walk there, not a 10 minute walk. (Maybe ""downtown"" isn't defined as the area in/around the Convention Center, though it certainly seems that way.) The area the house is in is adorable--as a bonus it's close to a number of very cool bars--but it was just further from where we needed to be than we expected. 
The other issue is that, while the house comfortably sleeps six in two full bedrooms and a loft, it only has one full bathroom. And, because this bathroom shares a wall with each of the downstairs bedrooms, it offers even less privacy. (Basically, when you're in either of the downstairs bedrooms, you can hear everything happening in the bathroom.)
While this house wound up posing some disappointments for our group--a group of colleagues in Austin expressly for SXSW--I think it's a great place for a couple who wants to visit the city for fun. And, if you can see fit to use it, the backyard is huge and quite nice."
337149,4020456,2013-04-03,4962706,Leona,The house was perfect. Great location on the Eastside - Close to great food and recreation. Jessica was a wonderful host and very accommodating. Can't wait to return. 
337149,4083018,2013-04-08,5546997,Jesper,What an awesome place. About a mile away from Rainey St. which has a bunch of nice bars & restaurants. Probably 1.5 miles from the city center. Perfect for guys/girls weekend. Really nice interior in mint condition. Spacious backyard too. The 3 double beds could easily be shared by couples and on top of that there is a couch and 2 airbeds. I would definitely stay here again.
337149,4126947,2013-04-12,5092614,Jacqui,"We loved Austin and loved Jessica's house which is in a great area. It had everything we needed and more, and was really comfortable. We would definitely stay again.
."
337149,4356449,2013-04-30,4144005,Skyler,"Lets just say, Austin can be a really busy place in many different facets.. Food truck lines, bar lines, music venue lines, lines... Period. But in the end it is all worth the wait and experience.  This house was a great place to be based while  in Austin, as you are not far from the downtown action, but  you get the small town neighborhood vibe staying here. We were able to rest well in between taking in all the town had to offer as well as a music fest held outside of town.  We were always happy to come back to the house for rest.

The neighborhood itself has a lot to offer so you don't have to venture to far to get your bar, coffee, or food services. But if you want the city isn't far at all. Having a car rental was great and really inexpensive...

The owners of the property were really great. They made sure we had everything we needed and more. I was in contact with them the whole time we were there and overall had a great experience.

The house itself has everything you need and accommodates 3-6 easily. 

Enjoy Austin! Can't wait to go back!"
337149,4489291,2013-05-08,694694,Phuong,"Jessica's house is beautiful and conveniently located! Our group loves exploring by foot and dislikes crowds, hence this house is the perfect location to unwind and rest. We would definitely stay at Jessica's place again and recommend it to everyone!"
337149,4798876,2013-05-27,4676472,Frank,The house was fantastic!  There were five of us staying there and with the open concept we were never stumbling over each other.  I will certainly be planning another trip to Jessica's place in the future!
337149,4982040,2013-06-05,443094,Anthony,"My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Jessica's place. The location was perfect for us, the house itself is stunning and extremely comfortable. We were all very pleased with the booking. Our Austin friends were also very jealous of the place and want to move in. :)

Thanks Jessica!"
337149,7350785,2013-09-16,1988106,Sam,"Jessica's place was great and just as described. The house was very clean and Jessica was very helpful. Love the area too, great coffee store called Cenote up the road!"
337149,7481293,2013-09-22,2268268,Jude,"Very clean, lovely minimalist design in re-modeled bungalow -- this was perfect for us:  2 single adults and one couple with 2 pre-school children.  No breakables to tempt the kids, who slept on inflatable mattresses (my first inflations and they were easy!).  Convenient to Mexican and Mr. Natural take-out on César Chávez Blvd.  Close to the home of the wedding couple and other family members in airbnb accommodations.  Jessica and her husband were responsive, helpful and generous!  Many thanks to them!"
337149,7999606,2013-10-12,8307526,Elisa,"Everything was perfect. 3 couples stayed, and each had a fantastic time, the beds were all comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed, everything was clean and cute, and we each one of us wanted to buy the house, it's just that cute. 
Large back porch with big yard was fantastic for sitting in the morning enjoying coffee and listening to the birds sing. 
The neighborhood was ideal. Quiet and adorable and safe, but also walking distance to restaurants. 
The owner was super easy to contact, and made everything just as easy as pie. 
She also has been awesome enough to send my husband his iPad after he left it behind!
Perfect experience. "
337149,8073162,2013-10-14,3434054,Roxanne,"Beautiful place, Jessica was an amazing host. Incredibly helpful especially when flights were delayed and we arrived later than expected that night.

Would love to stay again!"
337149,8258172,2013-10-22,870096,Courtney,"Jessica and the Willow street house were amazing. It was spotless, spacious, very centrally located and super super cute. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin."
337149,8526071,2013-11-04,9040122,Danielle,"The house was lovely in an up-and-coming neighborhood.  Easy 20 minute walk to 6th street, or cheap cab ride into town, so a rental car isn't necessary.  Space is open with good light, and backyard is huge.  The kitchen has incredibly nice and new amenities, and except a dishwasher it has everything else you could need. Overall very good experience, would rent here again if we came to Austin in the future."
337149,8667358,2013-11-11,3927221,Tibor,My friends and I had a wonderful weekend staying at Jessica's house.The house is located in a great area that we were able to walk to many places over the two nights that we stayed. We literally rode bicycles all over town starting from her house that Saturday. Jessica also was very accommodating when I left my watch somewhere in the house.  I am looking forward to staying in this house again. 
337149,8809305,2013-11-18,10015478,Craig,"Very cute, fully furnished house in very good shape.   Fit our needs perfectly.   Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
337149,10420385,2014-02-18,6170261,Monique,"We loved the house, very suitable for our party of 5.  We came for the Austin Marathon and stayed 3 nights, enjoying everything of this house : the cactuses in front, the driveway for our pick-up, the 2 rooms, the shower serving 5 without problem, the backyard, the gas stove for our meals.  Great neighbourhood and with great access to downtown, east side and all roads.  Superb, and clean!"
337149,10556431,2014-02-24,92789,Linsey & Sam,"Totally awesome. Jessica is lovely, the house was perfect for a group of 3. Big backyard awesome neighborhood. Highly recommended."

Great location for a laid back weekend, close enough to downtown to make it a party, and plenty if places to eat/ get groceries. The house has pretty much everything you need, it's nicely furnished, and the owners are nice. It was an excellent weekend getaway."

This was a great spot for exploring Austin. For our group of five long-time friends, this was an ideal setting."
337149,12287649,2014-04-28,13354676,Kathryn,"The house was fantastic! Clean, well taken care of and Jessica was great when we called to check in. The house had all the supplies we needed. The check out info and other info by the door was very helpful. Also, having her available as-needed was great! Wonderful rental."
337149,13072465,2014-05-19,13162043,Alison,"The house was perfect! Close to downtown easy ride to the airport. Enough space for everyone. Jessica was very patient when I messed up the alarm system, thank you. Next time I am in Austin, Jessica's house will be my first choice."
337149,13963406,2014-06-09,13887397,Jeffrey,The eastside house was perfect for our weekend in Austin. It was close to everything and the neighborhood was great. I would recommend this house to anyone heading to Austin.
337149,20370528,2014-09-28,1403755,Melinda,"Nice, clean well-equipped home.  Should really be listed as a 2BR with a loft, as the 3rd BR is in fact a loft with no proper wall/door; but did have a half bath which was very helpful.  Close drive to downtown, but we did not feel comfortable walking at night to downtown.  (It was our 1st visit to Austin, and some of the surrounding houses are somewhat run down)  Otherwise, it was a great stay!"
337149,20764597,2014-10-05,2711855,John,"Great spot, well appointed house, comfortable beds.   The key handoff was seemless and overall a great experience.     House was immaculate when we showed up and the cute garden in the back would have been great to spend time in if we had more time at the house.

Jessica was a great communicator and always was prompt in her replies."
337149,21215335,2014-10-13,4089678,Jamil,"The house was in central location but secluded from busy traffic. Very cozy, large backyard, overall a great place to stay! The corner mart had decent beer selection and Mr Natural's across the street had excellent smoothies for those morning hangovers."
337149,21954171,2014-10-27,21192617,Meaghan,"Our stay at the Eastside House was perfect. The house had everything we needed to enjoy a great Austin weekend! Jessica was super accommodating, friendly, and very available during our trip. The house location was ideal for biking and walking around town. We rented bikes in the neighborhood and made our way down to Lady Bird Lake for paddleboarding and lunch on Rainey street. It was a great stay overall!"
337149,22250735,2014-11-02,22217618,Luke,"The Eastside house was a great place to stay while visiting Austin! A cute house in a great up and coming neighbourhood, with lots of great restaurants and bars nearby! Its a short walk downtown, but east Austin is pretty cool to explore as well! Perfect for our group of 5! Jessica was always available and friendly - a great experience! "
337149,22530942,2014-11-09,21999540,Aj,Great home with plenty of space.  Very helpful and responsive to questions while staying there as well.
337149,25558198,2015-01-19,9975942,Joshua,"Jessica's place was terrific - it looked exactly like the pictures.  A clean, bright, and well furnished 3 bedroom (1 is a loft) and 1.5 bath house.  She contacted me immediately after arriving and gave me simple, straightforward directions to accessing her place since she was out of town. The neighborhood is gentrifying, but it's also very close to top spots in town like Dirty 6th and SoCo. The next time I come to Austin, I won't hesitate to book this house again. "
337149,26261341,2015-02-08,26310664,Julia,The house was awesome. Plenty of room for a group. Location was nice and you can walk most places or take a cheap uber to different areas of Austin if you're going out. The host was great and quick with communication. Overall a really great house!
337149,26903958,2015-02-22,9216406,Alandra,Jessica was a fantastic host and this house was incredible. We loved the location -- a few fun places within walking distance and many more just a short ride away. The atmosphere was even better than expected. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the house has everything you could need. It was also super clean and safe. We loved getting breakfast tacos and chocolate donuts at the corner. We loved hanging in the backyard. We loved walking to Yellow Jacket and The Liberty and many other fun bars around town. East Side Kings was SO delicious. Jessica was responsive with tips and helpful ideas. We would love to come back someday. 
337149,27297086,2015-03-01,6042874,Will,"Cool place perfect for a small group.  Jessica was super responsive and accommodating, and the house had everything we could have needed for a weekend stay.  "
337149,27589595,2015-03-08,22239221,Maggie,"The house is so cute!!! It was very clean, and it's in a cool, hip part of austin. We rented it for a girls weekend and it was the perfect spot- the house is SO close to amazing east side restaurants and bars. You can walk to rainey street and it's just a short drive to downtown.

The host, Jessica, was very friendly in all her emails, and we would definitely stay here again!!
"
337149,28705967,2015-03-29,7248481,Peter,"Jessica's house was amazing and came as advertised! It felt really spacious with its high ceilings, and it has a lot of interesting architectural and design elements. The beds were all comfortable as were the air mattresses Jessica made available.  The back yard is massive and is a great spot to pass some time outside. More than enough space for a group of 7 adults.    

The location is a fantastic jumping off point for Austin, especially East Austin. It's walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and bars and a short drive to downtown. The neighborhood also felt very safe. 

Jessica was excellent about communicating and providing recommendations for things to do around town. 

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Austin!"
337149,29515475,2015-04-08,29461360,Pooja,"A group of 5 stayed here and we had plenty of space to hang out. The house is clean, modern, and comfortable. The location is great too - very close to Veracruz breakfast tacos, East Side Kings, and Rainey St. bars. We did use our rental car and Uber quite a bit to get around. Coming from the East Coast, I found that Austin is not a very walkable city, so it was great to have a driveway to park our car because we used it a lot to get around. Jessica was a great host; she greeted us upon arrival and checked in with us periodically to see if we needed anything. Overall great home base to explore Austin!"
337149,29813864,2015-04-13,3583116,Josie And Will,"The house was beautiful, clean and stocked with amenities. Coffee, milk, tea, scissors, hair dryer you name it. Jessica made check in easy and respected our privacy. This was my parents first airbnb experience and they were amazed. "
337149,30204486,2015-04-19,1976685,Rex,It was a great place in a great location. Delicious restaurants and cocktail bars right across the street. The house was roomy and modern with all the needed furnishings. I would definitely recommend staying here. 
337149,30680283,2015-04-26,4341908,Carmela,"I recently stayed at Jessica's home with a group of five girlfriends for a long weekend and could not have asked for a better location! Jessica was very responsive and it was very easy getting in and out of the house. The house was incredibly spacious and clean. There were plenty of towels for everyone and we never ran into any issues with only having one shower. The neighborhood is also very nice! 

On the first day, we walked all the way downtown, which was a hike. Taking Ubers to different areas of Austin is probably your best option from the house and was never over $13. There is also a Zipcar lot 20 minutes away walking, which we used on occasion. There are also a number of good places to eat and drink around the neighborhood as well (La Barbecue, Cenote, Yellow Jacket Social Club, Whislers, Weather Up) as well as a brewery (Hops and Grain). I would definitely recommend staying in Jessica's home if you're visiting from out of town. "
337149,31179595,2015-05-03,17738599,Adam,Such a good alternative to a downtown hotel. Walking distance to some quirky bars and a quick Uber ride to the city center. Clean and modern home that is visually interesting and a unique experience in and of itself. Jessica did a fine job communicating with us beforehand and having the house stocked and ready for our arrival. Would definitely stay again!
337149,33065641,2015-05-25,23453235,Terri,"We loved staying here!  The place was perfectly situated, spotlessly clean, and well-stocked (coffee, water, beer, shampoo, etc.); the design is open, comfortable and stylish.  Four of us came to Austin to attend a wedding at Fair Market and Jessica's house made it all the more memorable.  There's a quiet, private backyard + smalldeck that was perfect for relaxing (until the deluge came down...)  It's within walking or short drive range from restaurants, little stores and some GREAT food trucks, and a very quick drive to downtown Austin.  A wonderful trip was made better by choosing this place.  We hope to come to Austin again very soon, and we would definitely stay here again.  Jessica was welcoming and made us feel at home."
337149,40815680,2015-08-02,38458802,Chiara,Great house and awesome location! 
337149,45000196,2015-08-30,11020617,Eric,Jessica was very accommodating with our check in and check out times. It was very easy with no complications! The description of the house was perfect! Everything was super clean! Beds were comfortable and linens were clean. This was a very central location and an easy Uber or Lyft to any location! We enjoyed the low key eastside of Downtown Austin. I would love to come back and stay at Jessica's house again! 
337149,45939223,2015-09-07,35724948,Christina,"I stayed here for my bachelorette party with a few friends and we all adored the place! As a first time Airbnb renter I very much appreciated Jessica, she made everything easy and even had a restaurant suggestion for when our food truck park plans fell through.   

It was easy to get around the area from here too. "
337149,48380931,2015-09-26,11850761,Marc,Awesome place! Great communication with owner and an all around great experience.
337149,49885042,2015-10-07,24075042,Andrew,Great house in a really up and coming area. Jessica was very accommodating and available with questions and recommendations. Would definitely stay again. 
337149,50276155,2015-10-11,20864298,Rachel,"Talk about an amazing weekend. A cool house, a cool city and the perfect host. Jessica was extremely accommodating for the large reunion we had at her home for Austin City Limits. The house was perfectly situated in a prime area and we all felt so at home. Jessica was flexible and so nice - I would recommend this house to anyone who wants to do Austin the right way!"
337149,51158151,2015-10-18,255202,Nathan,"Jessica's house is the perfect place for anyone wanting to be on the east side and live in a beautiful house close to almost everything. Truly, one of the best places in Austin. Perfect for groups too, as there are three bedrooms. Thanks again for the great stay!"
1024819,4088533,2013-04-08,5019134,Sarah,Staying with Tracy was my first time trying AirBNB and it was awesome!  Tracy was very nice and her place is gorgeous.  I will be back!
1024819,4111868,2013-04-10,5671708,Krista,"Tracy was a wonderful host.  She was very accommodating with my schedule and prompt with her responses to my questions.  She is very knowledgeable about the city and even offered her reusable cloth grocery bags for me to use because of the Austin ban on plastic bags.  Her zen cabin is perfect for one person traveling to Austin.  It was so much fun to stay there.  Very clean, organized, and relaxing - exactly what I needed.  The garden around the cabin was a wonderful place in which to sit and read. It is in a cute neighborhood not far from UT, restaurants and grocery stores.  "
1024819,4189452,2013-04-16,5369756,Kara,"Staying in Tracy's tiny cabin was delightful!  Although it's small, the space was extremely clean, quiet, and located in a great Austin neighborhood - perfect for a solo traveler who wants a nice, affordable place to stay and plans to spend the majority of their time exploring all that Austin has to offer!  Tracy was very communicative leading up to the trip and offered me a hairdryer and iron when I told her I was going to be in town for a wedding.  All in all, a fantastic Airbnb experience!"
1024819,4294111,2013-04-25,1886496,Hannah,Tracy's tiny zen cabin was lovely! Very conveniently located with beautiful outdoor spaces. A very comfortable and peaceful spot to stay in Austin!
1024819,4306823,2013-04-26,1119245,Perry-Elena,"tracy's little cabin was perfect! relaxing, well equipped and exactly as described. i only wish the weather had been nicer and i'd been staying longer so i could've had a chance to enjoy the beautiful garden and trampoline! sweet pea the cat was great, too. "
1024819,4465664,2013-05-06,441299,Trevor,"Tracy's place was clean and tidy, the perfect setup for a quick weekend away.  "
1024819,4487322,2013-05-07,6226438,Suzanne,"Tracy's cottage was perfectly welcoming and comfortable!  I will definitely plan to stay again the next time I am traveling alone in Austin (cottage only accomodates 1)

You should make plans to stay here at least once!  The bed is the best!"
1024819,4520464,2013-05-10,5901105,Amy,"Tracy was accommodating during the entire process. I planned to stay for a short time while moving from another state to Austin. She was extremely helpful in helping me make the move less stressful. The Zen Cottage is stylish and very clean; it had everything I needed. The resident cat was also welcoming. This was my first airbnb stay, and I was happy to have stayed at Tracy's cottage!"
1024819,4764627,2013-05-24,5934291,Robert,I enjoyed my stay in Tracy's backyard zen cabin.  It was private and comfortable.
1024819,4814195,2013-05-27,6228971,Jess,"I was very comfortable in this studio and the location could not be beat. It's walkable to so many things - food, laundry, stores. Tracy was attentive and kind. I would stay again. Thank you!"
1024819,5010627,2013-06-07,776592,Michael,"The place was cozy and quiet and welcoming and all the things promised. The garden area is very relaxing and enclosed just enough to give a sense of privacy. Tracy was very communicative and helped me out suggesting car2go from the airport. The neighborhood is tree lined and sedate, walking distance from an organic grocer, the university and surrounding bars and restaurants."
1024819,5046412,2013-06-09,1832711,Kelly,We really enjoyed our stay. Tracy was an excellent host!
1024819,5201767,2013-06-17,6899115,Marcus,"Tracy's lil Zen cabin was excellent! Cozy, private, well located, and well equipped. The private parking lot off the street was definitely a plus. Tracy was fast to reply, friendly and hospitable, always making sure I was fine. It was a very hot day the day I arrived and she took the initiative to cool the room down before I arrive. Nice. Enjoyed my weekend stay here. Knowing I would spend the night at somewhere safe and comfortable allowed me to explore the city without worries. Will definitely stay here again if Im in town. Austin's a nice place, but it was made better by the small hidden gem that is Tracy's little Zen cabin! "
1024819,5751170,2013-07-15,6141926,Tom,"Tracy is a fantastic host. She was very responsive to my messages, friendly, and helpful with recommendations for local restaurants, shops, and cafes. The cabin itself is clean, quiet, well decorated, and conveniently located just off of Guadalupe St., the main north-south artery in the UT campus area. From there, you can catch buses to downtown and other points in Austin, but the campus is only about 7 blocks away on foot. Guadalupe has plenty of grocery stores, bars, and restaurants.

Overall, the experience was great and I would recommend Tracy and the apartment to anyone visiting Austin."
1024819,6225387,2013-08-04,832143,Ken,"Small though it is, it served my needs quite well.  The bed and AC were decent enough.  Shower worked great.  Stuff for coffee and tea were provided.    "
1024819,6435351,2013-08-12,7682886,Rebecca,"My daughter stayed at the sweet Tiny Zen Cabin for a week between moving out of one apartment and moving into another.  She needed a quiet, inexpensive place since she was finishing a Summer college course.  She was very happy with the cabin, the location, the ease of parking and Tracy's hospitality.  Whenever my daughter needed to contact Tracy, she was able to do so.  It was perfect for what she needed!"
1024819,7155259,2013-09-09,2363411,Adrian,"Nice cabin, conveniently located in Austin. Tracy was a great host and had set up plenty of coffee and tea for guests. I'll definitely try to book here again when I come back to Austin."
1024819,7470765,2013-09-21,8793585,Ralph,"I came to Austin to find  an RV... Which I did ... But also found a amazing town. The closeness of the Tiny Zen Cabin  to  downtown made the culture of the city come alive without the hassle of traffic.
It really is walking distance to many very interesting restaurant and shops..."
1024819,7917271,2013-10-08,6527979,Nancy,Perfect location and comfortable stay.  Quiet neighborhood and beautiful setting.  Very much enjoyed my stay for work and play.  Wonderful host and lovely space - Highly Recommended.
1024819,8047602,2013-10-14,8630214,Fil,"This is a great, quiet, private little oasis in the middle of town!  Highly recommended.  I was able to walk, bike and drive to a variety of interesting Austin attractions and felt very much like I was just another resident of town."
1024819,8169520,2013-10-19,1350614,Scott,"The cabin is well outside the tourist/hotel ghettos that travellers often get stuck in so you get a much better sense of what Austin is REALLY like, though Austin doesn't put up much of a façade to begin with. It is a bit out of the core but having a bike made it easy to get around quickly. The ride into downtown is easy with well marked bike lanes. Transit into the core is also fast and cheap ($1, or $2 for an all-day pass) and buses come very often down Guadalupe. Most buses have bike-racks too so you can bike into down and get a lift home if you get tired from exploring! Many would be tempted to just head straight into the core, but definitely take a moment to explore Guadalupe (the north/south artery into downtown). It has a lot of character too.

Tracy is very friendly. She kindly accommodated my 1-am check-in time and my 4-am check-out time without batting an eye. We only crossed paths once but she texted me a few times to check in and ensure that I was comfortable, very thoughtful. The cabin is cozy (and thankfully, air-conditioned!), comfortable twin bed and great water pressure. Everything was clean and tidy, warmly decorated. 

I have not one single gripe with the place at all. I had a thoroughly enjoyable stay, while I was out for most of the day and evening (I was in town for a conference), I always felt good coming back to the cabin.

One note is that the wireless internet connection is a little bit flakey in the cabin so don't rely on it for any mission-critical internet needs. There is a great cafe (La Tazza Fresca) at 37th & Guadalupe that offers up internet, but you should go there regardless because the vibe, food, and coffee are top tier. 

Highly recommend this place. Even if you are intending on mostly exploring downtown, the University, or the convention centre, between the bike and transit you're hardly more than 15 minutes from any destination."
1024819,8268419,2013-10-22,9411562,Steve,"Tracy was an excellent host, and the cabin was a great place to stay! Very clean, quiet and tidy. We had a little owl hanging out on the grounds while I was there. Very cute. The location of the cabin is excellent - very easy to get around, lots of restaurants in easy walking or driving distance. "
1024819,8329210,2013-10-26,8366545,Karen,"Tracey's private Zen Cabin was perfect! The bed was super comfortable, the shower large with great water pressure, and everything was so calm, clean, and beautiful. Tracey even stocked the fridge with some nice sparkling water for me - happened to be my favorites - which was a really nice touch. I also appreciated the private off-street parking spot tucked behind the Zen Cabin. This location in Hyde Park is great; it's an easy  walk or quick drive to so many go-to spots. Don't miss the nearby Ya-Ya Cafe for delicious Asian food."
1024819,8621384,2013-11-09,8087421,Robin,"What a great space and host! Tracy was wonderful, the cabin was perfectly located for my work at UT and met all my needs.  Off street parking was also handy though I could have easily walked to most of my destinations. Thanks Tracy."
1024819,8812355,2013-11-19,7730977,Shyam,"Great cozy spot for a stay! I was here for a week, did work during the mornings and it was perfect, totally quiet/peaceful and the location is walking distance to a LOT of things like great food, groceries and even a laundromat."
1024819,8913873,2013-11-25,9906160,Ryan,My stay at the zen cabin was fantastic.  The location is awesome and provides easy access to a lot of great areas in Austin.  Highly recommend it for those traveling alone.
1024819,9056106,2013-12-03,9722564,Steve,"I traveled to Austin to spend Thanksgiving week with my daughter. I like my independence (and don't like to be a bother), so I stayed at the Tiny Zen Cabin. Sweet, small space (perfect for a single person).  It was easy to communicate with Tracy, even when there was a last minute change in my arrival time.  Tracy was quick to respond, efficient (important to me), caring, and graceful. "
1024819,9225131,2013-12-15,57666,Steve,"Tracy was an excellent host. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was comfortable, clean, and working nicely. There was a fine single-speed bike for me to use for a few excursions to the library at UT (15 minutes, seat-to-seat; so much closer, and to some neighborhood destinations - some of which are in easy walking distance, like Zen (Japanese-style counter service cafe), Hopfields, and the Wheatsville Co-op (great for food to go!). 

Austin was experiencing record cold when I arrived, so Tracy switched me to the downstairs apartment, with two space heaters going upon my arrival, so everything was warm for the entire stay. That was so thoughtful.

The space is fine for two. The furnishings reflect thought and taste.

There is also nifty off-street parking. The outdoor space between the lodging and parking is well-furnished. I was disappointed that the weather was too cold for me to use it, but it would be a plus for guests half the year at least, I'm certain. 

One tip for future guests is that there is no radio or TV, but the Internet is fine for your media needs. 

Also worth noting is that Tracy is very responsive by text. "
1024819,9325615,2013-12-21,3016897,Tiffany,"Tracy is a very nice lady who has great accommodations. Her husband even came to find me when i couldn't find the entrance.  The accommodations were clean and tidy. She even allowed me to view other rooms. If i am in the Austin area again, I would inquire to see if her rooms are available again.  "
1024819,9664521,2014-01-04,4027120,Jesus,Tracy's Tiny Zen Cabin is the perfect place for a nice relaxing stay in Austin. The home is in a great neighborhood and the yard and 'cabin' are very lovely.  AND Tracy is a great host! Can't wait for my next visit. 
1024819,9776685,2014-01-09,10715632,Pierce,"This was a great place to stay during my five-day trip in Austin. Tracy was extremely accommodating and did her best to make me feel at home. The location was perfect: easily accessible to UT and downtown via bus (or foot, if you are up for a bit of a hike). Easy walking distance to a great coffee shop and everything else that Guadalupe Street has to offer. 

This was my first time using Airbnb, but this experience expelled any doubts. I'm already trying to plan my next trip! "
1024819,9842306,2014-01-13,9941002,Hélène,"Tracy was really a great host. Her place is also very nice. Good location. I really enjoyed staying at Tracy's place.
"
1024819,9875845,2014-01-16,7154825,Claire,Tracy was a perfect host.  She was always very response to all of my communication.
1024819,9960836,2014-01-21,9651184,Matthew,Awesome location and super cute and comfortable cabin. Both the indoor and outdoor space are a good mix of tranquil and functional. Great launching pad to enjoy Austin. 
1024819,10079721,2014-01-29,10435447,Marina,"This place is a great stay, nice neighborhood, lots of restaurants/grocery within walking distance. The cabin was very nicely decorated as well! Thanks Tracy!"
1024819,10160184,2014-02-03,9349166,Karen,"The Tiny Zen Cabin was great! The bed is incredibly comfortable and the outside space is amazing.  One note, which other reviewers did mention -- the wi-fi coverage out there is pretty weak - it was fine for my needs, but if you NEED the internet for important things keep it in mind.

Tracy was a great host. She even lent me a hairdryer when I realized I forgot one. I'll definitely recommend this place to anyone else I know traveling to Austin on their own."
1024819,10223231,2014-02-07,6119769,Avery,"Tracy was a very gracious host. She was very responsive with all communication. 

The cabin was clean and comfortable. Be sure to read the description as she does say that it's a fairly small space. Also there is no tv, but there is wifi. 

Overall I enjoyed the entire experience and I would recommend the Zin Cabin to a friend. "
1024819,10294784,2014-02-11,11162868,Allison,"The Zen Cabin was exactly as described: a quiet retreat in a residential neighborhood but within walking distance to the university and bus lines to downtown.  It was in the thirties when I arrived and Tracy very generously picked me up from the train station and gave me a tour of the local area.  There are some great vegetarian restaurants and the awesome Wheatsville Co-op nearby.  The fridge was perfect for storing my breakfast and leftovers.  

Tracy was also very flexible about my check-in/check-out times and generally a terrific and responsive host."
1024819,10447596,2014-02-19,78429,Ben,Tracy is very nice.  Her cabin is a cute comfortable place to stay.  It's  in a good central location to everything in Austin.
1024819,10481741,2014-02-21,5178968,Matthew,"I loved staying in the Zen Cabin!  Tracy was very communicative and understanding when flight delays caused me to arrive VERY late.  She left the porch light on and the cabin was a wonderful place to arrive after a longer than expected day of travel.  I loved the vibe, it is very clean, and it is close to tons of great places in Hyde Park.  Definitely recommend for anyone traveling solo in Austin and looking for a great place to stay!"
1024819,10549695,2014-02-24,12133751,Bridget,"Tracy's listing was exactly as described. I found it cozy, comfortable, and private. Would stay again!"
1024819,10720754,2014-03-04,11733895,Charity,"Tracy was quick to respond, accommodating, and a generous host. The Zen Cabin fit my needs perfectly: quiet, private, and just spacious enough. It was really lovely, and I would book again in a heart beat if I was back in Austin."
1024819,10906161,2014-03-12,4548264,Evelina,"Tracy's cabin was perfect for me during the 5 nights I stayed in Austin for SXSW. It's in a safe area (very important to me) that is easily accessible to the downtown area that I spent all my time in. I was able to either take a 10m cab ride or take a 25m bus ride, as there are several lines just a few blocks away that go straight downtown. I even walked home one night when I was unable to get a cab and it only took 45m. Tracy was very easy to communicate with and very accommodating in allowing me a later check in when I arrived my first night from the airport. The cabin has all the essentials and I was very happy and comfortable my entire stay there. SXSW causes any open lodging in the city to hike up their prices but Tracy keeps her rate SUPER reasonable. I got really lucky when she had a cancelation a month before the festival and I was able to book the cabin. I can't count the amount of times I heard friends at the festival complain about how disappointed they were with their overpriced hotel or room they were renting 10+ miles from the city. That was definitely not the case for me! Hoping to book here next year when I'm back! "
1024819,10953035,2014-03-15,39745,Nan,Great value!
1024819,11107518,2014-03-21,11091705,Jessica,The tiny zen cabin was wonderful! Tracy was a great host and made sure I had all the things I needed to ensure my stay in Austin was a success. The cabin is quiet and perfect for relaxation after a long day at a conference. It's close enough to walk to some restaurants. I highly recommend it. 
1024819,11324439,2014-03-30,12207859,Suzanne,"Thank you, Tracy. Not only was the cabin clean, comfortable, and arty, but Tracy was friendly and very accommodating. The location is perfect for experiencing the neighborhoods of Austin near UT and catching the vibe. There are restaurants and food stores (coop is great) in walking distance. I even walked to an enjoyable and very professional evening performance at the Hyde Park Theatre. Relaxing in the outdoor space at Tracy's was a bonus, especially as the weather was sunny and 80's. Pathways led to at least four separate sitting areas and there was a dining table as well. I will stay with Tracy when I go back to Austin. You should too. "
1024819,11448932,2014-04-03,1010299,Samantha,"Tracy was very nice and easy to get ahold of.  The yard is great with hammock, trampoline, sun-brellas, and a picnic table.  Nice part of town close to everything, and the cabin was just right for my stay.  Nice big shower, too, and good wifi service.  

Thanks!"
1024819,11511707,2014-04-06,1755898,Meg,"Tracy's tiny zen cabin worked well for a solo traveler. The bed is comfy, and there is plenty of room for a suitcase. The backyard/garden area is beautiful and inviting, and the cabin is convenient to UT and downtown."

1024819,11588386,2014-04-08,12670278,Sarina,"Amazing Zen Cabin, clean, beautiful, welcoming, relaxing and secluded from the rest of the world if needed. Tracy was a wonderful host by offering me wine and treats. I look forward to staying here again!! "
1024819,11664820,2014-04-11,13065698,Sijia,"This is such a lovely place , I am so lucky to have Tracy to be my host. She is dry nice and considerate. The room is sweet and cozy, I am so enjoy the backyard garden which make me feel at home . The transportation is very convient, just by the bus 5 where you could buy a electric day pass by 2 dollars and go to UT campus, or downtown or Barton spring pool:) I have a really good time in Austin and live here , definitely going to visit here again if I am coming back. Highly recommend for who want to visit Austin and want to live a lovely place with very reasonable price :) "
1024819,11869464,2014-04-17,12880112,Beth,"This little bungalow was exactly right for me!  It's an older building, but clean, cheery, and containing everything I needed.  The backyard is enclosed in fences and bamboo, with winding paths among gardens.  In the evenings the trees are lit up in festive lights.  The property is within easy walking distance of plenty of restaurants, stores, and bus stops.  I would DEFINITELY recommend this to a single traveler who isn't looking for something fancy, but who appreciates the little details that make a stay away from home feel special.    "
1024819,12328529,2014-04-29,9632195,Alejandra,"I stayed in Tracy's lovely cabin for a conference and it was perfect! Clean, comfy bed, tea and coffee for the morning, a little fridge for breakfasts and close to shops and other places in Austin. The wifi was a bit spotty but worked fine from most parts of the cabin. Her backyard area was amazing and it was great to call this place home for a few days."
1024819,12971168,2014-05-16,9858654,Misha,Such a wonderful place in the heart of Austin! Tracy was more than accommodating.
1024819,13084396,2014-05-19,14157674,Kathleen,"The Tiny Zen Cabin was a restful place to return to after my workshop ended each day. It was comfortable and clean and had a nice ambience. The neighborhood was eclectic and there were numerous great restaurants, etc within walking distance. Tracy was helpful when I had questions, but not obtrusive. I would definitely stay here again."
1024819,13213135,2014-05-22,945879,Ardavan,My uncle had a great time here. The Garden is awesome and the cabin is clean. Tracy is nice and we will have Good memories of this place.
1024819,13445253,2014-05-27,15483659,Bethany,I felt very comfortable here. It was clean and the host was very well prepared and friendly. I'd recommend this room to anyone going to Austin. It was so close to everything.
1024819,13810802,2014-06-05,565659,Marianne,"Tracy was very friendly and helpful. She upgraded me to a different room (a studio with kitchen etc) so I can't really review the Tiny zen cabin. The other room was nice, though. "
1024819,14135222,2014-06-12,16307165,Graham,"Tracy was very accommodating, the cabin was perfect for one person, which the posting indicates. I was visiting my daughter at the University of Texas, I was out of the cabin early & back relatively late, the cabin is in a residential area with a rustic setting, I will definitely check to see if the cabin is available on my next trip."
1024819,14615594,2014-06-23,4301774,Janet,"Tracy's Tiny Zen Cabin was great! Cozy, clean, and nicely furnished. The backyard patio area is also spacious, beautifully designed, and very conducive to quietly reading or to socializing. Tracy made the experience stress-free by being polite, helpful, and prompt in response. I would definitely recommend the Tiny Zen Cabin to others looking for a simple but nice place to stay!"
1024819,15116770,2014-07-02,12808823,Sarah,"Tracy was so nice, accommodating, and always responsive when I needed anything. The zen cabin is cute, clean, and perfect for one person. Tracy provides amenities so it's like staying at a hotel, only cozier!"
1024819,15320617,2014-07-07,1151749,Bruce,"Terrific stay.  Host was very easy to deal with and very responsive.

The place is small, but perfect for one person.  Back yard is big and great, with comfortable places to sit and use the internet (or enjoy nature).  It's exactly one mile from the UT campus.  Walking distance to stores and restaurants."
1024819,15567906,2014-07-12,1284304,Jennifer,"The Zen Cabin was just what the doctor ordered.  I was in town for some very intensive training and being able to retire to such a well appointed, small space at the end of the day.  The garden is a lovely space as well.  I'm already looking at my calendar for a time when I can come back for a pleasure trip."
1024819,15763842,2014-07-15,15539099,Caitlin,My stay at Tracy's zen cabin was great. The cabin is small but perfect for one person. It was clean and homey and just what I needed. The cabin is a short walk from the grocery store which is really convenient and Tracy was a pleasure to deal with. I recommend this place for anyone staying in Austin.
1024819,16100722,2014-07-22,16599762,Kate,"The listing description was exactly as I found it to be. It was a wonderful and restorative stay in the tiny zen cabin. I felt welcome because of the little maps of places that my host left for me, the reusable bag she had on store because of Austin's rules on plastic bags, and the note on the desk with all the info I needed for a perfect stay. Also there were lights on the tree in the backyard that were just so charming. She even had bug spray out in the garden on hand. She thought of everything--and looked out for me when there was a ferocious thunderstorm. I am so thankful for my restorative stay. "
1024819,16261437,2014-07-24,17288288,Rachel,"I loved the Tiny Zen Cabin! Tracy was so helpful, with sending directions to the cabin a couple days before, and texting me the day of to make sure I had everything I needed. The cabin was delightful--clean, lovely decoration and feel to the room. It was wonderful! Definitely recommend staying here and I'd stay here again!"
1024819,16372845,2014-07-26,18148599,Paul,"Tracy's quiet little cabin was conveniently located near my destination for this trip. It's clean and well-appointed for its age. Tracy was pleasant, helpful, and respectful of my privacy. Zen is an appropriate description for this cabin. It's perfect if you're looking for a comfortable place to sleep or maybe sit and enjoy the beautiful garden.
My trip was business-related, and I found the Wifi to be erratic and slow. Verizon wireless service was marginal too, though this is hardly under the host's control. But Wifi and cell service do not define this retreat's character.
Synopsis: For quiet, privacy, and a certain degree of isolation from the modern world, this is a good choice."
1024819,16569996,2014-07-29,8439238,Jesus,"Tranquility and serenity in the heart of Austin!  I couldn't have selected better single lodging for my manically busy wedding weekend in Austin.   Tracy's  pre arrival instructions and suggestions were so helpful.  Checking in on me to make sure all was right and if I needed anything was most welcome.   I lounged on the hammock and caught up on a book for a couple hours, which was my only down time, and was the most peaceful patio siesta in the shade."
1024819,16770005,2014-08-02,15588504,Alec,"Tracy was a great host, she made check in very easy and respected my privacy.  The cabin itself was just wonderful. It is in a lovely garden, and is decorated very well inside. ""Zen"" is definitely the write word for this place.  The neighborhood is great, with the famous Amy's Ice Cream only a block away, and an awesome co - op around the corner, I felt right at home immediately. Some high lights for me: The awesome tree in her yard with colorful lights strung around it, and the little guide book she left for me inside the cabin (very helpful). "
1024819,17068033,2014-08-06,6490443,Jeff,"Great little spot to rest your head at night. It's small but it's super cozy and there was enough room to roll out my yoga mat. Perfection. Also, do yourself a favor and go to Ruby's BBQ down the street. Never would have found it without Tracy's guide book you'll find in the room. Find your Zen and book!"
1024819,17214770,2014-08-09,15319575,Peter,"Tracy was not in town, but she had alerted me to that well in advance, and all arrangements upon my arrival were exactly as she had stated.  The cabin was exactly as advertised, and I had both freedom to come and go and total privacy.  I was comforted by the fact that her property manager was available on site if I had needed any assistance.  This was exactly what I had hoped for.  I will return in the future if I am in Austin again.  Five stars as far as I am concerned."
1024819,18023549,2014-08-20,19217911,Rishidev,"Lovely stay! The cabin was just as advertised and very welcoming, and it was a great base from which to explore the (charming) neighborhood. Thanks Tracy!"
1024819,18258838,2014-08-24,18894157,Palaaneappan,Tracy was very accommodating and understanding of my needs. The communication (via email) were very quick which I liked very much. 
1024819,18460911,2014-08-26,6989727,Neil,"Had a great experience at Tracy place. Did not get to meet he re hit here comms was quick and very efficient. Her niece, Mackenzie was there to help and was extremely efficient. The apartment is small but private and in a safe trendy location. "
1024819,18941804,2014-09-03,17009342,Tabitha,"Very cute, very clean and very quiet. Pretty much exactly like the description. Great for 1 person.

The neighborhood is residential/suburban but the bus stops to downtown are very close, and there are several restaurants within walking distance, including a really nice coffee shop and it's a few blocks away from the famous Spider House Ballroom. If I come back to Austin and am traveling alone I would totally stay here again."
1024819,19025437,2014-09-05,17056746,Grant,"It was hot this time of year, but the little Zen cabin was cool. Everything I needed, and nothing I didn't, it was a good little launch pad for me to get around Austin, and there was even a parking space for me. Neighbourhood was fine, and Tracey and co. we're very friendly. The wifi was hard to get in the cabin, so I had to sit in the garden to get better reception. (So what?)
All in all, good value I thought.
"
1024819,19891482,2014-09-20,20451116,Geoffrey,"The Tiny Cabin was everything I needed for my stay in Austin. It was clean, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. Its location offered several nice dinning options within walking distance which I took advantage of. These were all provided on a handy list left by Tracy. Getting to down town was also super easy and Tracy offers off street parking if you have a car. I never got to meet my wonderful host as she was out of town but she made sure everything was set for my arrival and had family around if I needed anything. A great experience and I would highly recommend it to any solo Austin travelers. There is also a super comfy hammock and even a trampoline in the garden if that's your kind of thing."
1024819,20033088,2014-09-22,20320827,Steve,"This was a great guesthouse. Very easy to find, quiet area, and close to downtown. She provided a nice list of bars, restaurants and things to do in the area. Highly recommended and will use again when I'm in the area."
1024819,20329241,2014-09-28,15222011,Clare,"I had a great time at the Zen Cabin - good information on the local area, which I used.  Nice base to explore Austin - easy to get about without a car - lots of buses a walk away.  Thanks Tracy!
Clare"
1024819,20577408,2014-10-01,21380157,Mike,"Tracy was an excellent and attentive host; she made checking-in and leaving a breeze.  The Zen Cabin, while small, was the prefect fit for me.  The bed was comfortable; the shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water; and the air conditioner cooled the space down quickly.  The only criticism I could make would be that the wifi was a bit slow, but a ""real"" hotel would have charged me out the nose for that anyways.  If I ever get the pleasure of returning to Austin, The Zen Cabin will be at the top of my list!"
1024819,20726197,2014-10-04,654864,Natalie,What a great place to stay! This cozy cabin was exactly as pictured. Located in a great outdoor space with a lovely sitting area. Very quiet and peaceful. The location is within walking distance to some shops and eateries and only 10 mins from Downtown. Tracy was very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again.
1024819,20843675,2014-10-06,7676734,Phil,"Tracy's place was awesome!  Super clean and comfortable - it's perfect if you're traveling alone. It's in a really quite neighborhood and still really close to downtown (I was there for ACL and just walked to the metro to get to Zikler Park).  Tracy was a great host as well - I told her I would be arriving a little earlier than expected and she went out of her way to everything ready by the time I got there.  She has the cabin set up with a coffee and tea cabinet, a mini-fridge, and a booklet of all the places to eat in the area which she has personally commented on."
1024819,21331665,2014-10-15,13366138,David,"Tracy was a fine host who replied quickly to the few requests I had. Hyde Park neighbourhood has great streets to walk around and look at all the lovely houses. Tracy's Guidebook to the area is very accurate, I would stay again. Tracy also gave me a lift to down town on the opening day of the Austin City Limits music festival which was a nice touch."
1024819,21516096,2014-10-19,11501839,Russell,"The Tiny Zen Cabin was just what I was looking for. Perfect space for just one person. Tracy was super nice and let me know about everything when I arrived. She was very good about privacy and was responsive to any questions that I had. Great spot that is in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants and the bus system. The bed was comfy, shower was clean and had good pressure, the toilet flushed, and the air conditioner worked. My only issues were that the wi-fi didn't really work and that there was spotty cell phone reception in the cabin. This isn't really a problem if you're looking for a zen getaway, but if you're hoping for full connectivity, just be aware. "
1024819,21668957,2014-10-21,21610275,Dara,"This is a lovely little cottage, perfect for 1. There is an off street parking spot. The cottage is in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to a Starbucks and a nice French restaurant. Tracy fitted the cottage with just about anything you could possibly need for my stay. Thank you!"
1024819,21790983,2014-10-24,21303749,Meagan,"Tracy was such a delight! Very welcoming and hospitable! The Zen Cabin was BETTER than I hoped for! The backyard is an oasis and magical. The twinkling lights on the tree were such a beautiful sight to see every night. The cabin itself was fully stocked with a mini fridge, coffee, tea and amenities. The ac unit was very efficient and the water pressure in the shower felt like a relaxing massage! Do yourself a favor and stay with Tracy and her bohemian-tastic clan! Thank you Tracy!"
1024819,21951224,2014-10-27,14056082,Mary,"The Tiny Zen Cabin is WONDERFUL!  It was clean and so inviting.  Every time that I thought about something that I might need, I looked and Tracy had already provided it!  The bed was very comfortable.  The coffee was so good; Tracy had even included half and half in the little refrigerator.   The yard surrounding the cabin was a real treat.  It was landscaped with Japanese statutes, bamboo and lovely gates.  There was a picnic table and many comfortable places to sit in the garden.  The garden's biggest surprise was at night, when the lights were on.  It was magical!  I had gone to visit my UT student and we brought food and ate in the garden one night.  The neighborhood is very peaceful. Tracy's communications were prompt, courteous and informative.  The information sheet that she provided had photographs and directions that helped me identify exactly where I needed to go.  I hope that the Tiny Zen Cabin is available when I go to Austin the next time.  "
1024819,22160642,2014-10-31,255394,Benoit,It was a nice stay in a very quiet place! 
1024819,22353396,2014-11-04,15720959,Nick,Tracy has a great little place which was very private and comfortable. The backyard is very nice! Highly recommended!
1024819,22582043,2014-11-10,20958478,Allee,"From past reviews I expected to feel welcomed and that the host would be available via phone/text if there were any questions. And indeed that was all true! In fact I arrived on a wet and cold night (unusual for Austin) and found a warm, cozy cabin awaiting me. Doesn't get better than that.

Everything was clean and the bed is heavenly. Tea bags and maps and other info were stashed in the armoire. I felt like a traveler in a distant land with all the tools I needed to find my way around. And wifi!

There are wonderful restaurants and a co-op market within easy walking. And a pharmacy just beyond the market. Very friendly, safe neighborhood in all directions just north of UT campus. Quiet residential locale. Easy bus connections. Perfect for downtown contact too. Nice backyard to sit and look at the stars.

I'm going back in the springtime!
"
1024819,22760069,2014-11-14,11098249,Belle,"I really enjoyed my stay in the cabin! Tracy met up with me when I arrived and made me feel very welcome. She responded quickly to all of my questions via text and made herself available. The cabin was perfect for my work trip - much cheaper than staying at a hotel with much more personality. Street parking is widely available, and the neighborhood is bustling and fun. Thanks, Tracy!"
1024819,23240616,2014-11-26,22238622,Jeff,"Tracy is a wonderful host - very helpful and accommodating; she responded to all of my questions quickly and was flexible with me on a late arrival time.  The Zen Cabin is exactly as I hoped it would be, clean, cozy and peaceful.  The bed is comfy and the shower has good hot water and is surprisingly large.  The cabin is tucked away inside a gated and secluded backyard that is an oasis by itself with trees, ornamental lighting, a fire pit, and chairs for lounging.  Off street parking is a bonus.  The location provides easy access to all things Austin, including numerous restaurants, markets, shops and the UT campus.  The residential neighborhood is quiet and safe.  I had a great time and hope to travel back soon."
1024819,23417588,2014-11-30,24215498,Christopher,"The Zen Cabin was a comfortable and terrific place to stay (and a great shower/water pressure too!)  Handily located to get around Austin from.  Tracy was an excellent hostess, and very accommodating to both myself and my last-minute travel companion the hedgehog.  "
1024819,23534367,2014-12-03,19409776,Debi,Tracey is an awesome hostess. Highly recommend staying here!
1024819,23951236,2014-12-15,23314041,Jim,Staying at the Tiny Zen Cabin was just what I had hoped a very quiet place to stay and very conveniently located. Tracy was an excellent hostess.
1024819,24108981,2014-12-20,3304402,Liam,"Tracy's place was perfect for a short stay in Austin. It was located in a great area with an easy walk to bus stops, food, and UT. The cabin was ideal for one person, and though I didn't get to meet the host, Tracy was in contact via text and very helpful."
1024819,24215294,2014-12-22,24986084,Kevin,"Tracy's house is gorgeous. The yard and exterior are decorated with multi-colored fixtures. The cabin/backhouse was very comfortable, with strong water pressure and easily controlled hot water. Getting in and out is very easy. "
1024819,24388103,2014-12-27,11373107,Devin,"Tracy's Zen cabin was the perfect little getaway. It had everything I needed and the place was nice and clean. There was a little noise in the backyard the first night, but when I asked Tracy about it she took care of it right away. It was nice and quiet for the remainder of the trip. Her hospitality exceeded well beyond my expectations and I will definitely be back!"
1024819,24589470,2014-12-31,19507601,Raegan,"Tracy's cabin was perfect! Great location close to everything yet far enough away to be in a quiet, safe neighborhood. She was a great host and I highly recommend staying in this beautiful zen cabin! "
1024819,24974008,2015-01-04,9873861,Courtney,"Tracy made me feel very welcome. There was tea, coffee, and cream in the cabin to be made anytime I wanted it. The neighborhood was great - quiet, safe, and in walking distance to a great food co-op, among other things. One thing to be aware of is that the internet connection can be spotty or really slow, at times, in the cabin. That didn't dampen my time there, but something to be aware of if you're on a work trip or something. Though, it's worth mentioning that it was cloudy and raining most of my time there and that may have had something to do with the internet connection. It is a darling, comfortable cabin to stay in - the bed is very comfy, and the shower is luxurious. "
1024819,25206807,2015-01-09,22577959,Robert,"Very zen-like and relaxing. Beautiful yard, private yet open, and very eclectic.

I will stay here again next time in Austin, perfect place and a great price for a simple stay :)"
1024819,25315657,2015-01-12,24338269,David,"Tracy was an excellent hostess, responding quickly to the initial reservation request and keeping in touch prior to my reservation.  The Zen cabin is exactly as advertised (picture shows where the bed is now).  It is a convenient location to stay for downtown Austin activities.  Parking was simple and easy.  Austin original restaurants are within walking distance.  I would stay here again."
1024819,25456815,2015-01-16,26018066,Walter,Great space! Clean and very private. I would gladly stay here again! 
1024819,25631803,2015-01-21,4301774,Janet,"My mom stayed in the Tiny Zen Cabin and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We agree that both the Cabin and the surrounding patio area were beautifully decorated and maintained. I would definitely recommend the Tiny Zen Cabin to others looking for a low-key, comfortable, and affordable option for a visit to Austin!"
1024819,25882627,2015-01-28,5498633,Kathy,"As soon as I booked the Tiny Zen Cabin, Tracy quickly emailed to let me know about best ways to reach the place from the airport.  NICE.  The cabin is just as pictured and in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood - very close to UT's campus.  A ""handbook"" of sorts as to nearby (and good) restaurants, cafes and even a pharmacy is found within the cabin, also NICE.  Our contact was very minimal once I arrived, which was just fine.  Know that if you book this cabin, it is located within a fenced backyard and somewhat difficult to find.  Once there, your stay will be worthwhile! "
1024819,26033069,2015-02-01,23582121,Andrew,"Tracy was very responsive throughout the process.  She helped with a couple of requests that I made during my stay, and followed up later to make sure that everything was well.

The cabin is a wonderful little space.  Exactly as pictured, small but with high vaulted ceilings and wooden beams.  The place is clean and comfortable, and somehow just feels good.  It is in a quiet residential neighborhood about a 10 minute Uber ride away from downtown.  Uber consistently showed up in under 5 minutes.

Tap water tasted just a little odd, but apparently was perfectly safe.

Overall, best place you can have at this price point!

I would totally stay there again."
1024819,26140497,2015-02-04,2026560,Jason,"Nice space in the heart of Austin, just as described. Perfect spot for a person to rest and unwind, close to many good eateries, and comes stocked with nice teas and coffees. Recommend for those coming to Austin in need of peace and quiet!"
1024819,26607642,2015-02-16,1035843,Shauna Lynn,"Fantastic communication and very peaceful cabin. The cabin is meant for short encounters, since it is tiny, however, very well done. "
1024819,26778761,2015-02-19,15941546,Simon,"The Cabin is perfect for someone traveling solo to Austin. It has everything you need -- a full, not cramped bathroom right inside, comfortable bed, WiFi, desk -- and is very conveniently located, especially if you want to be proximate to UT. The space is immaculately clean and a good size for one, not cramped. Check-in and -out were a breeze and everything went extremely smoothly. "
1024819,26981730,2015-02-23,3078169,Jeanine,"The Zeb Cabin is the perfect place for the solo traveler to Austin.  It is easy to reach from I-35. It isn't a big place, but it has a nice bed, huge shower, mini-fridge, and everything else you need for a comfortable stay. There is also a large yard with a picnic table you can use. However, chances are you won't spend that much time at the cabin. You are just a short walk to the University of Texas as well as a dozen fantastic restaurants and bars. It is an easy bus ride to the downtown music scene. Enjoy.
"
1024819,27179276,2015-02-27,2476114,Markus,"The Zen cabin is really a great place to stay, especially if you're visiting UT, which is in walking distance. Check-in and check-out went smoothly despite my flight being delayed for 5 hours and a very late arrival. The cabin offered everything I needed and the bed was comfy (wifi was a bit slow though). I definitely recommend this place!"
1024819,27385541,2015-03-03,9251257,Bill,"Zen Cabin was as expected: small, clean, and just right for my trip. Bathroom shower is a real plus. Never did see Tracy. It is what it is, small made over single car garage that works. The price is right. That's all that matters. Nice a quiet too."
1024819,27538033,2015-03-07,8708078,Robin,"The Tiny Zen Cabin worked out really well for me.  Communication with Tracy was easy.  She was very responsive and helpful.  The space was the perfect size for one person and with the right weather, also offers a very nice garden sitting area right outside the door.  My only problem with my stay was the weather and that wasn't Tracey's fault.  Highly recommended."
1024819,28145881,2015-03-18,8603724,Julien,"The tiny zen cabin is perfect for solo travellers to Austin. I have been there to attend SxSW, which is reachable with public transportation. Tracy was very helpful and despite my late arrival did her best to make it as smooth as possible. WiFi is a bit slow, but as I was away the major part of my day, it wasn't a big issue. All in all it was a great stay, I definitely recommend this place."
1024819,28216978,2015-03-20,5164376,(email hidden),"The Zen Cabin is the perfect place to stay in Austin. Tracy is friendly and accommodating, but the cabin is separate from the house, so completely private.
The shower is great and the bed is comfortable. There's a fridge with refreshments and tea/coffee making stuff. The Japanese-inspired decor is tasteful and there's wifi!"
1024819,28638177,2015-03-27,14129050,Angel,"Tracy's cabin is a great place to stay, very clean and comfortable. Tracy had it ready and no glitches getting in. The location is terrific- quiet and convenient. "
1024819,28903103,2015-03-31,2808036,Andrea,"Tracy was a wonderful and attentive host, full of suggestions about the neighborhood, which was so cute with many great spots. The cabin is perfect for a weekend, solo stay and the garden on the premise was beautiful and very relaxing. It got a bit humid/damp at times inside the cabin, but I guess that's Austin weather!"
1024819,29073469,2015-04-03,20770977,Jason,Great place and location. Parking was easy and overall a great place. Highly recommend.
1024819,29398096,2015-04-07,17311282,Julia,I had a great experience at the Tiny Zen Cabin. Tracy has thought of all of the amenities and the space was very comfortable and clean. She was very accommodating. I also enjoyed the backyard space and the convient location that helped provide me with a great experience of Austin!
1024819,29588992,2015-04-09,30640336,Sharon,"The cabin was a great place to stay. Cute little room with nice Asian accents. Small but perfect for what I needed. Shower was clean and spacious. Located in an adorable backyard w/ nice lighting, a hammock, a trampoline, and patio table. Walking distance to lots of food places, bars. 10-min drive to downtown Austin. Tracy was very accommodating. Communication w/ her was always easy. I saw her the 1st day I was there and that was it. There is a cabinet w/ teas and coffees. I spent most of my time downtown and was there just to sleep and shower.  Highly recommend."
1024819,29809883,2015-04-13,20958478,Allee,"A repeat visit to this charming little place. Owner is most welcoming with emails before and contact info while you're there. Good info sheet on the desk with maps and neighborhood suggests for dining, pharmacy, bus, etc. Quiet location yet totally accessible to main street with bus and dining and market. Interior is very cozy/small yet adequate with desk, WiFi, separate chair and wardrobe (as you can see in the photo). Clean and great bed/soft sheets. This is my ""home away from home"" in Austin!"
1024819,30102434,2015-04-17,466890,Jonathan,"A truly marvelous little spot, completely self-contained and tranquil. I spent hours just chilling. Clean, bright, secluded - and a great shower! I couldn't have asked for much more.

Note: I didn't get to do much neighborhood exploring. It's definitely a bit out of the way but I was able to walk to the UT campus and Lyft was a great way to get to downtown & back.

Tracy was super accommodating and friendly."
1024819,30191122,2015-04-19,193753,Naomi,"This is so true! wonderful overall experence and would stay again! Owner is most welcoming with emails before and contact info while you're there. Good info sheet on the desk with maps and neighborhood suggests for dining, pharmacy, bus, etc. Quiet location yet totally accessible to main street with bus and dining and market. Interior is very cozy/small yet adequate with desk, WiFi, separate chair and wardrobe (as you can see in the photo). Clean and great bed/soft sheets. "
1024819,30529587,2015-04-23,17269584,Rachel Page,"The Zen Cabin was wonderful. It's in a lovely little corner of Austin. I didn't expect the spacious garden, with lots of peaceful outdoor seating, hammock, picnic table to do early morning writing. The cabin is plenty spacious for one person. Tracy made check in and out very easy. Parking was no problem at all. The neighborhood is lovely, within walking distance of tons of restaurants and stores on Guadalupe, and a short 10 min walk from the UT campus. If you take the airport shuttle to the UT campus, you could do the whole trip without renting a car."
1024819,30772284,2015-04-27,14552713,David,The cabin was terrific. It functioned as a perfect home base for my time in Austin. The location is only a 10 minute drive to downtown but if very quite and private and I got great sleep. I will definitely be keeping this one in mind the next time I'm in Austin as well as recommending it others.
1024819,30987942,2015-04-30,5252096,Erica,"I loved my experience at the Tiny Zen Cabin! I used to lived in the neighborhood 20+ years ago, so it was nice to have a place to explore from that is so deeply integrated into the community. The place is beautiful and incredibly clean. It's just the right size for a solo traveler who wants to see what Austin living is like :-)"
1024819,31110816,2015-05-02,28643364,Josh,"This was my first Airbnb stay and was a great way to get introduced to the concept. Tracy was very welcoming both leading up to and during my visit. She greeted me when I arrived and was available for check-ins and requests during my stay. She also provided good tips for local places to eat/drink. 

The cabin is set in her backyard (with trees wrapped in lights at night) and I said hi to her family and friends as I came in and out from the street. It is a good size for someone who mostly needs a place to crash. I slept great and had no problems with the facilities. Easy walk to UT, parks, cool places to eat."
1024819,31304706,2015-05-04,28369525,Matt,"This was my first time using Airbnb and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome.!  Tracy was easy to work with and very welcoming!  The cabin is exactly as described and perfect for a one person getaway!   Quiet, relaxing, and within walking distance of good places to eat and hang  out.  "
1024819,31706595,2015-05-09,12793969,Alexandre,"Just great! The cabin is so nice, zen. I really appreciate the independance i have. All was perfect, i recommand. I walked from downtown to the cabin several times, it's not so far when you like walking..."
1024819,32048387,2015-05-13,5202827,Noah,"Tracy was very accommodating from our first messages. When I arrived, she and her niece were working to attach a headboard to the bed. This is a testament to how important it is to Tracy that one's stay be as good as possible; it is clear that she tried the make her zen cabin a great value. Tracy was great to talk to when I had the opportunity (like after I was finished jumping on her awesome trampoline). I hope that I can stay here again on a future trip to Austin.

One not about this listing is that it is truly only for one person; having a second person would not be tenable. Tracy makes this clear in the listing, so I am simply adding a voice of affirmation that it is truly an individual-person listing."
1024819,32312888,2015-05-17,26164567,Jaclyn,"Tracy's zen cabin was so cozy and beautiful. Not only was the cabin great but the garden area was amazing too. The location was perfect for exploring austin. Very cool shops and restaurants near by. One occasion I did walk all the way downtown but that took me an hour, so I'd suggest a cab or pedicab for going downtown, unless you really love to walk a lot! Very great spot though and tracy was accommodation and helpful if needed. I liked the booklet of tracy's favorite places left on the counter as well! Thanks again tracy!"
1024819,32628201,2015-05-19,14198511,Iris,"The Zen cabin updated my standards.  I was able to prepare for my conference in quiet without interruptions. The single cabin was perfect.   FABULOUS accommodations. Great location in Austin.   I travel frequently and taxi's can break the bank. Tracy suggested UBER for local travel in the city.  The best suggestion,  thanks. My travel companions are now bnbair and uber!  P.S. The Clay Pit is super delicious!"
1024819,32766626,2015-05-21,31753888,John,"Tracy was a great host and very communicative.  The Cabin is perfectly isolated, private, and perfect for one person.  I particularly like how close it is to some really great food!   "
1024819,32879615,2015-05-23,1534620,Robert,Wonderful experience staying at Tracy's place--she made the check-in and out process very easy and the cottage was extremely clean and comfortable. Very centrally located in a cool part of Austin. Would gladly stay here again!!
1024819,34049599,2015-06-04,21822794,Susan,"The cabin was as described and perfect for my needs. As a vegan, this was an easy walk to several great food places and was near a few different bus lines for getting around. I loved having the mini fridge for storing snacks and maple pecan nut milk in! I got to meet Tracy, who was lovely. The bed was comfy and the shower was excellent. I would definitely stay here again."
1024819,34406816,2015-06-08,28577372,Caren,"This is a wonderful place to stay: quiet, simple and leafy. Everything you need is there, a comfy bed, a shower, somewhere to sit & write, and shops within walking distance. I'd certainly return. "
1024819,34793027,2015-06-12,32997809,Susan,"Tracy contacted me before my trip so we could arrange for the details of my arrival and give me directions to her location. She was incredibly helpful and it was an easy trip. The cabin was exactly perfect, quiet and private. It was in a fantastic neighborhood with several shops, coffee shops and cafes a walkable distance. If I'd had a bike I would not have used my car for visiting UT campus. It's a great place in a great location. "
1024819,35179861,2015-06-15,8314985,Ana,"Tracy's instant book option was awesome as I was needing a place last minute and the listing looked perfect. The tiny zen cabin was just as I pictured it and felt very peaceful. Tucked away in the garden, I enjoyed meditating, reading, light yoga, and relaxing. You will need to use the bug spray and be clean/keep snacks in the fridge because there are garden mosquitos/ants/spiders around the cabin, but I managed just fine. The shower is great and the bed is comfortable. The location is good too, just a block from a local cafe, Japanese food, natural grocery stores, Starbucks, and the bus stop. I loved my solo retreat at the zen cabin."
1024819,35427507,2015-06-18,2733578,Jeremy,"Easy to book stay, charming neighborhood (Hyde Park) and nice Japanese style garden. Nice spot for a short stay traveling solo. Public transit works great there too - short trip downtown/capital. "
1024819,36035082,2015-06-24,13475556,Alex,"I had a very easy and pleasant stay. The cabin was not as small as I expected, and was very comfortable. I did not meet the hosts, but the communication was easy and straightforward."
1024819,36202384,2015-06-26,28047056,Janell,"I absolutely loved this Zen cabin! It was well kept, perfect size, clean and tucked in a lovely garden area. I was in town for a business conference and could really rest and renew when I returned back to the cabin. It was a lovely neighborhood with restaurants and coffee shops within easy walking distance. I didn't want to leave this cabin! I can't wait to come back.  "
1024819,36682553,2015-06-30,7725358,Sara,This place was fantastic and exactly what I was looking for. I was in town visiting with some friends and needed a cozy place to rest my head. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was fantastic. There was even a little coffee maker and fridge so I could have a couple snacks. Check-in was a breeze and Tracy made me feel completely welcome. This place was zen indeed! Would definitely recommend and absolutely will stay here again if I'm ever back in Austin without my family.
1024819,37159234,2015-07-05,14610567,Audrey,Tracy is a wonderful host!  I really loved the cabin. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape after enjoying the city.
1024819,37772577,2015-07-10,34076394,Jessica,"I didn't get to meet Tracy when I arrived, but the directions she gave me to get to the cabin were very helpful and I was able to find it fairly easily. The location is in a nice residential area with a few shops and restaurants close by and lots of the neighbors looked like students, and it's only a couple minutes' drive to get back on the main roads to get to the downtown area. 
The cabin was just as pretty as the pictures, and perfectly comfortable for one person with AC, a mini fridge, coffee/tea, and a full bathroom. There are curtains and or blinds on all the windows so you can have your privacy as well. 
One thing to keep in mind: the cabin is in the backyard, so there are mosquitoes and other bugs to keep an eye out for while going in and out. 
I really liked the space and it was a great value for the location! "
1024819,38040506,2015-07-12,7164859,Amy,"The neighborhood was perfect, quaint and in perfect Austin form. Everything was perfect, small zen tiny cabin was exactly what it was! "
1024819,38294172,2015-07-14,14140650,Betty,I loved Tracy's cabin! It was just what I was looking for! It is in a great location! Within a 5 mile radius of so many things!
1024819,39177417,2015-07-21,35008415,Jonathan,"Tracy had a nice welcome packet, which explained what was nearby and what the cabin had to offer.  It was very detailed and nice touch to assist in finding nearby attractions.  The cabin was as advertised very nice and comfortable. No complaints on my part."
1024819,39711890,2015-07-25,38560549,Ronen,"My experience was wonderful. The room was comfortable and aesthetic, the coffee a big plus, it was easy to check in, the location and price excellent. There's a very nice yard that I did not make use of, but looks great. It's an ideal place for 1 person, especially if you're in town for UT business. Highly recommended."
1024819,39983217,2015-07-27,37096801,Will,"Tracy's cabin was perfect for a solo traveler in Austin for the weekend. Very clean and just the right amount of space. 

The location is great. It's very close to Guadalupe St and a bunch of restaurants along that corridor. Also close to the UT campus. Uber rides to downtown averaged about $8.

Tracy was very helpful and answered all my questions promptly. The cabin has a private feel, and the property is located in a quiet residential neighborhood with little vehicle or pedestrian traffic. It's a great place to relax, but it's close enough to all of the cool things Austin has to offer. I'd recommend Tracy's cabin to any single guest (the bed is a single)."
1024819,40671470,2015-08-01,37615125,Becky,"Tracy had every ready before I arrived, so I was able to go into the cabin and unpack my things. 
The cabin and the garden are very serene,  and inviting. 
The listing is very accurate. 
The cabin has a very small frig, so you can put yogurt of snacks in it. 
The air conditioning on the cabin is amazing. I was there for 5 days and 4 nights  It was 100 degrees the entire time and I stayed very cool and comforting the cabin. 
The shower is very spacious,  and she has some toiletries there if you have forgotten something. 
I could come and go as I pleased and I had an off street parking space. 
Tracy has recycling, regular trash and a compost can, which was important to me. 
The bed was comfortable and the space was perfect for one person. 
"
1024819,41240645,2015-08-05,37031979,Jeremy,"Tracy's communication prior to and during my stay was excellent and checkin/checkout was simple. 
The peacefulness of the property from the garden sitting area to the cabin itself can not be overstated. The location makes for easy access to just about anywhere in Austin, felt safe, and nothing was out of reach. It is rare to find a place where solitude and community are in balance. This stay has set the bar very high for what should be expected from an Airbnb."
1024819,41514529,2015-08-07,186935,Ken,The place fit the description very well.  It was a little hidden gem in a great neighborhood.  It was my little oasis in a very very hot Austin.  
1024819,42127372,2015-08-11,13173114,Marco,Wonderful little cabin. Easy to get to UT. 
1024819,42489535,2015-08-13,40973546,Nick,"It was a great experience.  Easy to find, enjoyed my time there."
1024819,43093045,2015-08-17,38607295,Micah,"Welcoming text message. 
Yes.
Tracy responded promptly when a repair on the door was needed.
She checked in with me by text x 2."
1024819,43436536,2015-08-19,40607329,Yanyi,The pre-arrival information is detailed. The place is quiet and it has a laundry room in the basement of the nearby house. Everything is good but the ant problem. But Tracy made a lot of efforts to solve it.
1024819,44818253,2015-08-29,39557447,Cynthia,Tracy was a great host - she emailed me detailed instructions so finding the cabin was a breeze. She also responded right away if I had any questions.  I was in Austin primarily for work and the cabin was a nice and peaceful place to relax in and unwind (or do more work at the desk!).  Great water pressure in the shower!! I definitely recommend for the solo traveler.
1024819,45327664,2015-09-01,15518718,Andrew,Nice suburban neighborhood. Host very helpful and communicative. Very clean. Exactly as described. 
1024819,45615438,2015-09-04,42488498,Katie,"PERFECTION. Absolutely perfect for one person. Cozy, clean, great location. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this Airbnb or the host!"
1024819,45956882,2015-09-07,995332,Liz,I had such a great experience staying at the Zen Cabin. It is a really beautiful space and located in a great part of town. Tracy was super responsive to emails and very friendly. I would for sure stay here again and I've already recommended it to my friends. 
1024819,46553806,2015-09-11,2234165,Youngro,"Tracy's place was perfect for what I needed on my business trip -- small but comfortable place, pretty close to downtown (10 min drive), and privacy/quiet to finish up work.  Would definitely stay again."
1024819,47031283,2015-09-15,2315617,Maximillian,"I arrived in the middle of the night, and was still able to get into the cabin with no trouble. The space is small, but totally adequate for one person on their own. You get your own parking, there's a coffee maker in the cabinet, and the shower is great. I'm really picky about showers."
1024819,47440784,2015-09-18,2375205,Andrea,She was awesome! I would def stay there again!!!!
1024819,47654917,2015-09-21,37885336,Doris,"Tracy made sure I had everything I needed.  Enjoyed the peacefulness and privacy.  Allowed me to check in early due to an early flight.  Accommodations were comfortable and clean.  Very quiet, slept like baby."
1024819,48269999,2015-09-25,35359258,Niall,"Tracy was a welcoming yet unobtrusive host. The cabin was perfect for my needs, in a quiet neighbourhood yet close to restaurants and other amenities. Public transport options were good and it was easy to get down town quickly. Great shower and reliable internet were also a plus."
1024819,48703084,2015-09-28,35901545,Gareth,Fantastc time in clean and quiet location. Communicative host. Would definitely return!
1024819,49320777,2015-10-03,35874927,Aaron,"Tracy was always very responsive and helpful, even when dealing with a wifi issue late at night. The cabin was amazing and truly relaxing. The location is great as well, with plenty of things to do and places to eat at within walking distance. As a solo traveler, I don't think it's possible to stay in a better place for the price."
1024819,50130748,2015-10-09,43491523,Don,Great location. Very peaceful and quite. Will definitely stay again given the opportunity.
1024819,50623615,2015-10-13,19678586,Matthew,"Very comfortable accommodation in a nice neighborhood ---  especially quiet and peaceful.  A great place to get back to after a day in Austin.   Suited for one person (the room has a single twin bed)...well appointed with surprisingly spacious bathroom/shower.  Pretty close to some terrific food places -- walkable, but probably best to have a bike or car.  I had a bike and used it to get around town...close to the University and all its amenities.   Tracy the host is a great communicator, and even checked in with me while I was there to make sure everything was OK"
1024819,51028227,2015-10-17,21238543,Kati,"Tracy was a wonderful host during my stay in Austin. I had a really late arrival and she did everything she could to help me find the place safely. The cabin itself is really adorable - perfect for a solo traveler. Tracy left a list of local places to eat/hang out within walking distance and her own reviews of them, which was really helpful! You can tell that she is a thoughtful host. The neighborhood is great - very residential but close by to a lot of the ""sites to see"" in Austin. I had a great time. "
1024819,51432535,2015-10-20,8182254,Helen,"I had a wonderful stay at the zen cabin! Though I did not meet Tracy in person, she was very helpful with providing directions to the cabin and descriptions of the place. Everything was clean, comfortable, and functional. I was able to check in and out without any problems. I'd definitely recommend staying here!"
1024819,51666431,2015-10-22,9930033,Rachel,Such a great location in Austin! Quiet and easy to get everywhere. The tiny house was perfect for one person. I felt comfortable and that I had everything I needed. Loved the shared outdoor space. Tracy was extremely nice and hospitable. Would definitely stay there again!  
2950441,13165731,2014-05-20,5382259,Britt,"Molly is a wonderful host, and she has a beautiful house. It's really 
cutely decorated, in a great location, and with lovely features like a 
front porch and a side patio with a picnic table surrounded by trees. I 
hear there is also a hammock, though I didn't get the chance to use it. 
The private room I stayed in was super comfortable and quiet, with a great 
bed and huge closet.

Molly and her boyfriend were really welcoming when I arrived, and treated 
me like a friend for the whole three days I was in Austin. They were 
really responsive to whatever questions I had. I would highly recommend 
staying with them, it was one of the nicest Airbnb experiences I've ever 
had."
2950441,13397405,2014-05-26,8520659,Megan,"Molly and her boyfriend were really, really nice. My sister and I had a lovely time drinking wine on their quiet front porch. "
2950441,15287110,2014-07-06,8300303,Madeleine,"Molly and Ted were arguably the best AirBNB hosts I have had in Austin. My best friend and I came for the 4th of July with her (115-pound) with her St. Bernard in tow, and they were incredibly accommodating - they hung out with the dog while we were out, gave us free treats and sangria, and provided us with everything we needed. Their house is in a serene setting where a neighborhood ends in the woods; every room is adorably decorated and they had a fabulous book collection I would have picked up something from had we stayed longer. Molly even gave us a mason jar full of homemade sangria and lemons for the road. I would love to stay with them and hang out with them more next time I am in Austin, and highly recommend staying in the front room of what is truly a treehouse!"
2950441,17324001,2014-08-10,2454016,Anne,The space met our needs for the short time we were in Austin. Neighborhood was in transition but it was not far from the center of all things Austin! My pooch was allowed to stay which was very convenient but there was an up-charge for the dog.
2950441,18864843,2014-09-01,4692822,Amanda Joy (AJ),Great little space! Love all the trees on the side of the house. The area is quite and relaxing. Molly was really nice. 
2950441,22572412,2014-11-09,6649509,Gillian,"Molly's place was really nice.. clean, quiet and great location by some woods in East Austin."
2950441,26561759,2015-02-15,23568207,Rebecca,"Staying at Molly's treehouse was a fantastic experience. Quiet, and tucked away. It is in an awesome location, and downtown/other areas are easily accessible. With it's Austin charm, the interior is perfect for a small get-away. 

We had some timing difficulties and Molly was very accommodating. The hammock is a must. We would  recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin. "
2950441,47915941,2015-09-21,2581698,Melissa And Brent,"Molly was a great host.  She was so quick to respond to emails and texts and was very accommodating with our schedule.  We were only in town for one night for a wedding, but we were able to come and go easily and never had any issues.  The house was very cute, clean and on a great lot.  Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom was just off of our room, which had plenty of privacy.  The only concern we had was some of the surrounding neighborhood.  Her street was full of cute houses and we felt safe.  Not being familiar with the nearby area, though, it was a little sketchier than we were anticipating.  "

8401528,51751255,2015-10-24,24462963,Adam,"Awesome space just outside of downtown Austin.  You can get downtown for around $6 via uber. Otherwise there are heaps of restaurants that you can walk to within 10 mins of their place.

Emily and her roommate are great hosts and their dog is awesome and extremely laid back.  She (the dog, not Emily or Chelsea) also looks like the dragon from never ending story.

I would definitely recommend this jam if you are going to kick it in Austin for a few days."
4924104,26540425,2015-02-15,26419346,Crystal,Awesome!!! The place was so nice and walking distance to Rainey Street. Host were the best! Couldn't have went any better. Thank you!!!
4924104,27549814,2015-03-07,866891,Stephen,Adam was a host and very flexible with the checkin and checkout times. The condo was very clean and looked as advertised. Great location close to the city and the Greenway. 
4924104,27954524,2015-03-15,17934225,Brittany,"Mike's stay here was perfect! He loved how close it was to SXSW events, and said the place was very clean and welcoming. Will definitely use again for future Austin visits! Thanks for taking such good care of Mike!"
4924104,28389391,2015-03-23,26737165,Vishal,"Adam was boosted from the moment we met him. This gentleman let us into abode which was beautiful. I'd highly recommend staying at this fine establishment as you'd get to see great sights within a close vicinity. Baking soda. I got baking soda. In all seriousness, a top apartment with a very hospitable POC. HIGHLY recommended."
4924104,52043253,2015-10-26,394038,Andy,"Great 2 bed apartment with a beautiful pool area, convenient to downtown & Rainey St (approx $10 to convention center in Uber XL F1 weekend). Little bit of a squeeze for more than 4 people, but with the air mattress it makes the budget stretch.  Adam was accommodating with check in and check out times and everything went smoothly. Little knock on cleanliness, 4.5/5 with a couple dirty items in the kitchen. "
5759869,51196166,2015-10-18,45512238,Darlene,"Tim was a great host!  He was quick to respond and the room was clean and comfortable, just as pictured.  It was just as I expected and a great deal for the price.  "
5759869,51412664,2015-10-19,3365224,Paulette,Tim's place was great! Super clean both the room and restroom. Tim was very hospitable and would definitely book again. 
5759869,52804501,2015-11-01,43032292,Norberto,"We had a great time at Tim's house, very nice guy!
The area is quiet, the apartment is very clean and the bed's very comfortable, just how it looks in the pics.
I definitely recommend it."
5210561,28147306,2015-03-18,19871936,Andrew,Me and my staffers stayed at Carters home during our six day trip to SXSW.  1st off lets talk about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! We were the perfect distance away from all the action to be able to retreat home and be away from the crowds but close enough to jump right into it. The home was extremely welcoming and had good vibes flowing all though the home. The living area was relaxing and had all the electronics we would need to stay connected. The bedrooms were comfortable and quaint . The backyard was tight!! The seating outside made for great conversations Bc the environment was extremely pleasant. The kitchen is spacious and clean! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone coming to Austin! Thanks again Carter!  
5210561,33308093,2015-05-26,33245487,Alex,"Carter was an awesome host! The house was great for our medium sized group, with plenty of beds and space to relax. The house itself was very nice, relaxing, and well decorated, putting off a very home-y feel. He contacted us every morning making sure things were good, if we needed anything, or if there were any issues. Location was great as well; close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and an easy cab ride to 6th street. Would definitely recommend this house, and will look to stay again in the future! "
8616763,50694527,2015-10-13,15824473,Ted,"Jordan met us when we arrived and got us all set up. Apartment was comfortable (especially the bed, great mattress!) and very close to South Congress and downtown. Jordan and her roommate were great hosts. Pleased with our visit!"
8762621,51090870,2015-10-17,23528942,Ray,"Aimee was very attentive, and responsive to any questions, and even went out of her way to make sure I could store my bags at her place after I checked out, but before my flight left.  The place was clean, and in an amazing location, right by SOCO, and walking distance to all other Austin destinations.  I totally felt welcome and at home there.  It was a short stay, but perfect for what I needed."
8762621,51971366,2015-10-25,24013285,Jim,Great location. 10 min walk or $5 Uber to Downtown. Aimee was great with check in and out. 
359425,1000737,2012-03-14,501397,Ian,"Carrie is the best! Her house is amazing, with a beautiful back yard and a really brilliantly put-together interior that makes for a comfortable, creative, and human place to be. Great neighborhood, and great homebase for checking out Austin anytime - not just for SXSW!"
4279079,21320314,2014-10-14,22217402,Eric,"Sarah's description of the property was accurate.  Her place is very lovely and up on the second floor of an older, though slightly remodeled apartment complex.  The view from her windows feels exactly like being in a treehouse.  The windows and balcony look directly out into the tree tops, which adds to the level of privacy.  

She provided us with a map directing us to her unit, which was helpful because her apartment complex is hidden amongst many large trees.  The neighborhood is very safe (even at night).  We actually had to walk 5 miles back from the Austin City Limits Music Festival one of the nights because all of the Uber, Lyft, and local taxis were booked for several hours.  We never once felt uncomfortable walking along the main streets or in the beautiful, older neighborhoods surrounding her property.

Also, there are an abundance of quaint restaurants within walking distance, or a short drive from her place, that made planning an evening out on the town a breeze.  She is also only a 3 mile drive to 6th Street, though we didn't make it over there on this trip.  

Sarah was very accommodating to our needs, and quick to respond to any requests.  Her place was spotless when we arrived and other than maintenance prepping/remodeling the unit below hers for the next tenant, it was very peaceful there.  I contacted her about the remodeling starting early in the morning, and she promptly contacted the office to have them delay their (loud) construction until later in the day. 

We were very happy with our stay and having Sarah as our host.  This was our first experience with Airbnb, but we are just getting started.  Though we were Sarah's first guests, her hospitality was superb!  I highly recommend others to consider renting from her.  

Oh, and her mattress (though on the floor, and lacking a comforter) was extremely comfortable -- and I thought my own bed was comfortable!  Great water pressure in the shower, and having the 2 sinks separated by a door was helpful when the two of us were getting ready to go out."
4279079,21902396,2014-10-26,19115146,Kate,Sarah's place is a great spot to stay for a visit to Austin. Sarah is a wonderfully accommodating host and I would highly recommend staying with her!
4279079,21990128,2014-10-27,938305,Rebecca,"Sarah's place was very conveniently located and quiet.  The apartment was very clean & the bed was a dream! She was also super accommodating, left personalized snacks in the fridge.  I would definitely stay at her place again.  "
4279079,22341390,2014-11-03,6770608,Diego,"amazing host! great apartment; very helpful host and great location

"
4279079,22928149,2014-11-17,12680999,Lesley,"Sarah was a fabulous host! Despite our somewhat last-minute reservation, she provided us with our favorite breakfast drinks and breakfast bars. The apartment was absolutely wonderful, and had such a cozy feeling to it. The living actually had more furniture than it did in the picture, which was great because it made it feel even more home-y. The apartment wasn't overly cluttered, and was tastefully decorated with a zen feeling to it. And as other reviews have mentioned, the bed is incredibly comfortable. 
The location was also great, only about 4 minutes from all the South Congress shopping and food, as well as all the food trucks on 1st.
Sarah is a great host with a wonderful little apartment on her hands, and I would recommend this airbnb to anyone! Thank you, Sarah! "
4279079,23409238,2014-11-30,156121,Sarina,Cute place. Love the personal touch of customized juice and breakfast bars. The place is very clean.
4279079,23483661,2014-12-01,1468701,Jeannette,"Sarah's apartment was perfect. The listing was very accurate and the apartment is exactly as pictured.  I loved the location; being right off first made it easy to get to downtown, yet there was no noise from the street.  The bed was VERY comfortable.  I even emailed Sarah to ask her what brand/info for the bed. "
4279079,24349744,2014-12-26,22787949,Kristian,"Me and a friend stayed at Sarahs place during Xmas, it was the perfect place to be, very coasy with Chrismas tree and fireplace. In easy distance to shops and the center of town. I will recommend this place to everyone.  And Sarah answer messages very quickly. "
4279079,24397322,2014-12-27,22787949,Kristian,We stayed to nights so please see the review below. But I can say as much that it was a perfect stay. 
4279079,24626518,2014-12-31,25222905,Ashley,"Sarah was a wonderful host. We booked last minute, while she was out of town, and she was still able to provide a warm welcome with helpful recommendations of what to check out in town. Her place is exactly as described and in a great area. Everything we wanted to see was between an 8 and 12 minute drive. Most of the a awesome restaurants we went to were right along 1st. The place is a bit hard to find at first because the complex is large and the entrance to her section is on the side street. The great location, welcoming host, and dreamy bed make this place a must in Austin."
4279079,24954266,2015-01-04,18828910,Francois,"We had a lovely time in Sarah's apartment. The appartment was very clean, cozy and well situated making it the perfect place for our visit! Even though we did not have the opportunity to meet Sarah in person, she was very welcoming and accommodating during our stay.  I would strongly recommend the Treehouse Oasis to anyone traveling to Austin!"
4279079,25329524,2015-01-12,6553573,Steve,"Sarah was a super accommodating host.   Not only did she provide us with an amazing apartment, but Sarah also put in may ""extras"" that we were not expecting  Extra things like bottle of wine waiting upon arrival, fridge and pantry with multiple breakfast options, even marshmallows and roasting skewers ready for the fire.  Sarah's description of the apartment was spot on.  Her advice and insider knowledge about the immediate neighborhood establishments was invaluable and enabled us to enjoy local hangouts.  I would love to find another excuse to come to Austin so I can stay in Sarah's apartment again."
4279079,25426415,2015-01-15,25879537,Neal,"I would say my overall experience could be categorized as disappointing. 

The host did a good job of communicating about the accommodations before checking-in. But, then when I got there, I found hair on the bed from the previous nights guest, and dust and dirt all over the back-up sheets in the closet. 

Communication then took an unexpected turn when the host came over to the apartment unannounced  and knocked on the door demanding to know why there was such a ""big problem."" 

After an oddly awkward and polite conversation, Sarah admitted she had never had back-to-back guests and didn't clean the apartment beforehand. 

The big problems revealed itself, and Sarah did her best to resolve the situation by washing the sheets and giving me 50% of money back(ultimately, she gave me the money back for the nights I didn't stay at the apartment, which is to her credit).

At this juncture, I thought the problem was solved until I had what can only be described as an itchy sleeping experience. There may have been bed bugs, or the sheets were not properly cleaned, but I couldn't sleep that night in the bed or on the sofa at the apartment. 

I immediately got other accommodations and left the apartment the next day. 

This experience has been a learning experience for everyone involved, and hasn't dissuaded me, but enhanced my overall knowledge of the airbnb process. I look forward to using airbnb again, and to visiting new locations and having new experiences. 

I recommend using Sarah's space, and to chalk my experience up as a glitch on her end, a learning experience that will make her a better host. "
4279079,25575613,2015-01-19,6610894,Darrick,"I was on the fence about using airbnb, luckily I chose Sarah's apartment and that completely sold me on the idea. I've never felt so welcomed or accommodated for when traveling. It was indescribably cozy and clean. I will forcibly recommend Sarah's listing to all my friends traveling : ) "
4279079,25881518,2015-01-28,15736242,Chris,"Great place in a cool part of town, near coffee, restaurants and major roads to get you downtown or away from the city. It's a very comfortable place with all the necessities one needs for a great stay. Highly recommended. "
4279079,26064417,2015-02-02,11146682,Casey,"Sarah's place was a wonderful location to stay for our trip to Austin. It was located on 1st St, close to everything fun to do. Her apartment was extremely clean and nice, and she was a wonderful host. She left us personalized notes around the house guiding us through our stay. I would recommend her for anyone coming to Austin! "
4279079,26346919,2015-02-09,22551659,Malcolm,"This was our first airbnb experience so we weren't real sure what to expect. But after a night there, all I can say is: I hope all of our future airbnb experiences will be as incredible as this one. 

Sarah's apartment was in immaculate condition - a lot cleaner than some of the expensive hotels we've stayed in. She left little notes that guided us throughout our stay and even made us cookies and dairy-free yogurt (she must be telepathic; my wife and I are both lactose-intolerant). She has a comfortable bed plus a couch that converts into a bed. 

We absolutely loved the fact that there was no TV. It gave us the sense of a real getaway vacation. 

Her place is conveniently located on the south side of Austin, near a ton of great restaurants, coffeehouses and quirky shops. Downtown is only about a 5-7 minute drive. Her apartment is quiet and secluded and, as she says in her listing, a little tricky to find at first. There's a laundry room within a few feet of her front door. 

Sarah was very responsive to messages, answering within minutes. Since this was our first airbnb trip, she was instrumental in guiding us through the process. We hope to stay with her again. This was really a fantastic experience. 
"
4279079,26610632,2015-02-16,6471399,Kathleen,Thanks for allowing us to stay in your apartment.  We found it clean and comfortable and very convenient to the marathon in Asutin.
4279079,27691526,2015-03-09,413556,Austin,"Sarah's place was even better than pictured: centrally located with beautiful views and a serene feel, immaculately clean, comfortable. We had such a relaxing stay and will definitely be back the next time we come to Austin. Sarah herself was very accessible before and during our stay, and she even left us oatmeal and fruit for breakfast!"
4279079,27859855,2015-03-13,11760688,Jean-Sébastien,I had the pleasure to stay three nights at the place of Sarah. Very comfortable and close to downtown (5-10 minutes by car). Sarah was very reactive to my questions. It was very kind also to provide us with the stuff for breakfast. Thanks for all. 
4279079,27900643,2015-03-14,1704929,Sona,The host made us feel extremely welcomed. The apt was perfect and better than we expected and the neighborhood was exactly where we wanted to stay... Near south congress and the bike paths
4279079,28462117,2015-03-24,4226547,Helmi,"Sarah was a great host.  She was always available for questions and advise.  The apartment is a convenient 15 minute bus ride from downtown.  The pool was nice to lounge around in the sun.
I would do it again!"
4279079,28780174,2015-03-30,20649372,Karl Andreas,This was a really nice apt at the perfect location! Fresh and comfortable. All and all what we were looking for! Close to the city center at a bike and walk-friendly level. 
4279079,29933902,2015-04-14,18603841,Anais,"Sarah was an excellent host, and provided plenty of towels, a comfortable bed, and most importantly, coffee! Her apartment is adorable and perfect for a weekend in Austin, with lots of natural light and hardwood floors. Though it's tucked away from the noise of the main road, Sarah provided excellent directions in her Airbnb house manual. It's also walking distance from two of my favorite Austin spots: Torchy's Tacos and Crow Bar. We had a great time and can highly recommend Sarah's place."
4279079,30341674,2015-04-20,22605159,William,The place was immaculately clean and well stocked in a quiet location just off S Lamar. The host was very friendly in assiting with arrival logistics and contributed to a very successful and enjoyable stay in Austin.
4279079,30417333,2015-04-21,1687063,Davede And Dina,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sarah's home. Davede had just participated in the MS 150 and was exhausted after the ride. The bed was very comfortable! He was so tired that we didn't go out Sunday night, which made her offer of ""any food or drink that we can find"" an extreme blessing - We made a simple meal of veggies and had a beer. We cannot express enough how wonderful this was... Thank you, Sarah. The ""tree house"" was a great oasis.

For those less mobile - There are about 20-30 stairs to get to her front door. This was not a problem whatsoever for us, but perhaps it is for others...

Thanks again, Sarah. You inspired us as hosts!"
4279079,30806458,2015-04-27,17011487,Ben,My Fiance and I had a wonderful time staying in Sarah's apartment. It matches the photos completely and I would say is even more charming in person. The apartment is in a great location and close to lots of food and entertainment options. It's also very close to highways and getting around town is easy. The apartment was immaculate on arriving. The bed is super comfortable. We have no complaints and would definitely stay here again. 
4279079,32147769,2015-05-14,32935787,Amanda,My mother and I stayed here for one night and it was exactly as described! Sarah is an all-around fantastic host and we will definitely stay here again next time we are in town. 
4279079,32221631,2015-05-15,6641286,Jeremy,"Sarah's place was fantastic. Easy to find, very clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable which is always the mark of a great place. We will definitely stay again. "
4279079,32408476,2015-05-17,25002480,Jeong,The aprtment was very clean and nice. I really enjoyed staying at this place.
4279079,32577918,2015-05-19,10850736,Michael,"Sarah was great to work with, and her place is wonderful. It's near everything, but nestled in a very green, quiet area. It was clean and spacious. Will definitely consider booking here again."
4279079,32924898,2015-05-23,31698240,Susan,"We really enjoyed our stay in Sarah's apartment.  It was clean, quiet, comfortable and in a convenient location.  We loved that the living room window looks out on trees and sky - very relaxing!  We didn't meet Sarah, but she was helpful, timely, and organized about all her communications.  Definitely recommend this apartment for a stay in Austin."
4279079,33003086,2015-05-24,32129935,Dan,"Very nice experience.  Place looked great and Sarah couldn't be any nicer.  Highly recommend.

"
4279079,33264464,2015-05-26,31208836,Ann,"Sarah was a wonderful, friendly host. She worked with us every step of the way and made possible for an early check-in. Then when the electricity went out unexpectedly, she very graciously gave us a full refund for that night.  The apartment is very cute and clean with everything we could have needed. The big front windows and balcony make you feel like you are away from the city when in fact you are very conveniently located to everything. The neighbors were very nice and the area felt safe. We would definitely stay here again when in Austin."
4279079,33484300,2015-05-28,5549604,Christine,"Sarah was a wonderful, generous host. She graciously extended my checkout time after might flight arriving to Austin was delayed, giving me enough time to relax and rest before leaving. Her space is quiet, clean and adorably perched in the trees. Without a car I was also able to easily jot downtown by bus or lyft, and to grab dinner and coffee all along South 1st. I would absolutely stay here again. "
4279079,33823231,2015-06-01,13780514,Angela,Sarah's Treehouse Oasis was comfy and staying here was a true local Austin spot. The space was great and located very close everything. Sarah was prompt with responses and made little notes to help navigate our way through her apartment. Thanks for making this an awesome place to stay!
4279079,34043076,2015-06-03,20808145,Diana,I had a positive experience and would recommend staying there. I liked the location and I did feel like I was in a treehouse. The place was clean and cozy.
4279079,34505932,2015-06-08,33398649,Elizabeth,"Lovely apartment! Great location, super comfortable. Sarah was very accommodating, even though we didn't personally meet her. She left us everything we needed in the apartment (i.e. coffee and beer!) to make our stay easy. Take her suggestion on Summermoon coffee - that stuff is no joke! Would definitely stay here again."
4279079,34837234,2015-06-12,34763268,Jen,"Sarah was very responsive and helpful in her communication with us and overall, the photos were pretty accurate. Our only complaint was that the older bathroom fixtures and many bath products in the shower made the bathroom feel less clean (personal standards on this sort of thing obviously vary)."
4279079,35162052,2015-06-15,35164579,Kelli,"I loved staying at Sarah's treehouse oasis. I had the privilege of meeting Sarah, although it was not planned, and she was a polite and gracious host. I could not have asked for more. The space was exactly as described, it was organized, clean, and relaxing. I would recommend staying here to anyone and everyone :) "
4279079,35508344,2015-06-19,10283132,Dave,"Sarah was great! The apartment was fabulous, and right near some great local spots! Super accommodating, definitely a great spot to be!"
4279079,36324349,2015-06-27,9270983,Jessica,"Sarah is a rockstar host. Seriously. There are many places on AirBnB that meet expectations and are fine, but you know there are those few hosts who go above and beyond. They stage the apartment with great lighting, have placards explaining where the towels are, little welcome notes, tea & coffee, and things like that. Sarah is one of *those* hosts. As a host myself, I appreciate her careful attention to detail. Thank you Sarah for making my arrival to Austin absolutely perfect."
4279079,36426646,2015-06-28,34873692,Charnee,Great stay at the Treehouse Oasis! Conveniently located for easy access to the Congress bridge if our interested in checking out the bats at sunset or my favorite pizza spot Home Slice. Sarah was EXTREMELY responsive which made booking super simple. I will definitely stay again when visiting Austin area.  
4279079,36585652,2015-06-29,10088365,Ivana,The apartment was exactly as described and Sarah was helpful from the booking right up until we left. Would highly recommend this listing and look forward to staying here again!
4279079,36901335,2015-07-02,9270983,Jessica,Sarah and her place rule. I stayed there twice (see my last review)
4279079,38722724,2015-07-18,29753182,Carolyn,"Sarah's place worked out great for me while I was attending a workshop nearby. The apartment was private and very quiet. I didn't hear even a peep from any neighbors. (But I wasn't there on a Friday or Saturday night, maybe they peep then :-)) The living room especially has a very nice feel to it, perched amid the trees as seen in Sarah's photos. The apartment complex itself is somewhat scruffy, as are items that are the landlord's responsibility, such as plumbing fixtures. But it didn't feel in anyway unsafe. I didn't mind the two flights of stairs to get to unit, but some might.   I did not meet Sarah, but appreciated her friendly and lightning-fast communication throughout the rental process. I'd definitely stay here again."
4279079,39854775,2015-07-26,38771145,Michael,"The apartment was incredible and absolutely spot on wih Sarah's uploaded photos and description of the apartment. Also there was literally nothing I could imagine ""needing"" besides my wallet and phone, everything from towels to snacks and ironing boards were included. The whole apartment is just perfect, you could absolutely walk in on the blind with nothing and live there just fine. And he decoration is heart warming and almost spiritual. "
4279079,40003336,2015-07-27,19805458,Gicova,"Everything about our stay was great, we fell in love with it and enjoyed our time. We took an uber from here to 6th street which is very close. We even rode bikes around the neighborhood that she had ready. I would definitely stay again."
4279079,40607389,2015-08-01,34851654,Constance,The Treehouse was great and Sarah was the best hostess even pointing me to one of my new favorite coffee houses - Summermoon!  Every thing at the Treehouse was great and the location was perfect for me as I was taking a weeklong class at Creativeside Jewelry Academy. Hope to be back again early next year and would definitely want to stay at the Treehouse again. 
4279079,41008660,2015-08-03,2955348,Anna,"Sarah's place was a great find for four of us traveling out of town for the weekend. It looked exactly like the pictures, was in a great location in Austin, and a reasonable rate. The host was very helpful and responsive to questions. We look forward to visiting again. "
4279079,41422968,2015-08-07,32235972,Shauna,"When we arrived she had several Essential Oil Diffusers lit which made the place warm, cozy and inviting.  The space was clean and neat and lovely~"
4279079,41848063,2015-08-09,39653372,Robert,"It was our very first time using Air BnB, and I must say, my experience at Treehouse Oasis was fanstastic! Sarah did a wonderful job at getting the place ready, and leaving little notes here and there for direction and help. The apartment was beautiful! And in a nice and quite community. It's location was in the center of everything, making it easy to get to places! Whenever we asked for suggestions of where to visit, Sarah replied quickly. She was a wonderful host, we will definitely be visiting again!"
4279079,41988557,2015-08-10,12149489,Melissa,"Sarah's place is absolutely adorable! Cozy with Character!
Sarah was a great host letting me know the details ahead of time and offering is great service! The location is perfect for those who want to spend time in the South Congress area. While its not entirely walking distance, the bikes will help zip you over there! The apartment is kept neat and tidy and has plenty of great natural light! would definitely recommend! "
4279079,42717068,2015-08-15,38285452,Ken,"Sarah was wonderful. She answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. Her directions to her apartment were clear and concise.  Her apartment was very clean and everything was clearly labeled (Wi-Fi info, light switches and so forth). I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of healthy certified organic food and healthcare products she has available in her apartment.  Needless-to-say at this point, I would definitely stay again!  Thanks Sarah!"
4279079,42934203,2015-08-16,24476400,Lin,"Loved our stay at the Treehouse Oasis!  The name fits perfect! Clean, quite, cute! Everything we wanted!  Will stay here again!
"
4279079,43091857,2015-08-17,38472145,Angela,"The Treehouse Oasis was the perfect place for a weekend in Austin! It's really a steal as far as price and location go. The apartment was lovely, exactly as pictured with anything you could need for a pleasant stay. Sarah was a great host, and took really good care of me & my group of friends. It was a treat to explore SoFi and Sarah gave us several great recommendations about things in the area to do. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, very clean, and in a great area."
4279079,43790636,2015-08-22,37922888,Tracy,Had a lovely stay at the Treehouse Oasis.  Sarah has a welcoming & cozy apartment. Close to all the amenities of south Austin. Looked exactly like her pictures.
4279079,44006683,2015-08-23,40225691,Donna,We had a good experience. The directions were easy to help us find parking. The apartment was nicely lit so we found it easy.  It was clean and comfortable. The patio door does not lock and the shower/tub could be updated but we found everything we needed even down to a steamer for our clothes. This is my first time using airbnb and compared to some prices for other places I think what I paid for one night was a little high. Overall though we had a good experience. 
4279079,44150995,2015-08-24,38600019,Rodney,The Treehouse Oasis was my wife and I's first Airbnb experience and we both loved it.  The room is exactly as advertised with no surprises. I loved the fact that the place is about 3 miles from downtown. Sarah is a wonderful host! My car battery died when we where checking out and Sarah was nice enough to give us a jump.  I definitely recommend The Treehouse Oasis. We have already decided to stay there again when we  go back to Austin. 
4279079,44673293,2015-08-28,4359490,Corinne,"The building is older, but apartment is clean and well kept. Located close to South Congress area... Didn't have to do a ton of driving during our visit. Host was very organized and responded to texts/emails promptly. Would visit again!"
4279079,46490905,2015-09-11,39542050,Vickie,"This is such a great apartment; it is in a really good location- easy to get to all the hotspots and the neighbourhood is fun. The apartment itself is lovely- very clean, really comfortable bed and the living area is fab. Sarah is a fantastic host- she made sure our arrival was smooth and that we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here."
4279079,46721581,2015-09-13,38703541,Jason,"Everything was as advertised, very clean and located near South Congress shops and restaurants. Sarah went above and beyond and was very thoughtful of our potential needs!"
4279079,46962253,2015-09-14,34790365,Chris,"Sarah was a great host, she made sure we could find the place and had everything we needed. The place was very comfortable for our overnight stay and was conveniently located close to SoCo. The off-street parking was an added bonus! We look forward to future stays."
4279079,47128276,2015-09-15,31738494,Rod,"Clean, tidy, efficient and handy. It was perfect for me to get in and out, handy to all necessary food/ highway, etc.. I was UNaware of highway's proximity--a quiet place! The sunrise over downtown was impressive also. All was within arm's reach, the need for restful surroundings was met. "
4279079,47449932,2015-09-18,8641243,Jennifer,"I decided to take an impromptu trip to Austin and needed a place to crash for the night so I contacted Sarah to see if it was ok.  Sarah was very understanding and did not hesitate to allow me to stay at her apartment that same night.  The apartment was perfect.  The bed was super comfortable, the place was spacious and clean and had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend staying at the treehouse oasis and would love to come back there again to make use of those bikes "
4279079,48715773,2015-09-28,30062965,Jennifer,The place was very clean and comfortable. The location is perfect. Sarah was easy to reach and accommodating with our requests. 
4279079,49439716,2015-10-04,13066474,Daniel,"Sarah was a very welcoming and accommodating host. She provided us with detailed directions, recommendations for things to do in Austin, and was very responsive as well. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!"
4279079,49880982,2015-10-07,35994104,Denise,"We had a wonderful experience at Sarah's Treehouse Oasis! Everything was so orderly and instructions were clearly labeled around the place to make everything easy and natural for the guests. The bed was comfortable too. She also had a guidebook for the area and menus for local eateries for guests if they needed it. While the location of her building can be a bit tough to find logistically, Sarah gave us thorough instructions and a map ahead of our visit to make everything much smoother. Sarah easy to communicate with and a great host overall. We really enjoyed staying at her place."
4279079,50620549,2015-10-13,1155056,Josh,"Great, quiet apartment in a nice part of Austin. My girlfriend and I appreciated the accommodations, although we were there for ACL, so pretty much all of our waking ours were at Zilker park, with us passing out when we got back.
It was great to be able to make breakfast in the morning and the morning treetop view from the bedroom was great.

Two small issues: the shower head was fairly short, making us rethink how we wash our hair; and the bikes, which we were hoping to use, were not well maintained and were not usable.

Other than that (which I hope will be addressed), I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. There were even a few great local brews in the frig, which I was happy to trade with some of our own purchases."
4279079,51432762,2015-10-20,38671745,Sarah,Great place!! Wonderful hospitality with a fantastic location. We loved everything about it!
4279079,51625201,2015-10-22,21677776,Wojciech,"
Nice and climate place located in quiet neighborhood plenty of good restaurants. 
Good location for all travelers.
Wojtek"
4279079,52084154,2015-10-26,2956835,Misael,"What you see is what you get, such a nice and clean place, close to restaurants. Sarah is a great host all time in communication and great service attitude, definitively a place to stay in Austin.
Shower is not for tall people, but other than that everything is really nice."
4279079,52310614,2015-10-28,28775969,Matt,My wife and I just got back from our stay in Austin at Sarah's place. It was the perfect space for us! There was plenty of room and the location made it very easy to get to and to get around Austin. The board games were a definite plus and better for us than having a TV. We would definitely look at staying here again. 
4279079,52819545,2015-11-02,1293912,Adam,"Sarah was a great host. Our flight was cancelled and we couldn't make it out until the next dat, and Sarah very graciously didn't charge us for that day. Her apartment is very comfortable and homy. We didn't have a lot of time in the place, but we would have loved to be able to relax there a little more. All the great South Congress spots are just a skip away, too. "
3646634,16328196,2014-07-25,6242827,Brian,"Absolutely incredible place, Terence was super friendly host and also an awesome cook. Pretty unique experience with the bed being so high up but definitely helps keep Austin ""weird"" in a good way. Wouldn't recommend if you're afraid of heights or have been known to sleep walk, but otherwise this is worth every penny. "
3646634,17983968,2014-08-19,19349765,Ma,Great place to stay. I loved the mattress. It was very close to lots of places and always answered me whenever I had a question.
3646634,18091240,2014-08-21,19934567,Patrick,"Terence was an excellent host, and a great conversationalist.  When I arrived he had a key ready, and a nice basket of amenities for my stay.  There is a nearby grocery store so if you want to cook in the kitchen to keep the eating expenses down there is that option for you.  He also had a little printed out map so as to help me get my bearings as I explored Austin, very helpful.  I'd definitely recommend anyone stay here and try out the unique tree house bed. "
3646634,18585808,2014-08-28,20187783,Elyse,Terrence was a great host! He was very welcoming and helpful with showing us around Austin and giving us recommendations. His place is awesome. It was clean and really well decorated. The area was perfect; quiet neighborhood but also close to downtown. 
3646634,20054335,2014-09-22,7245918,André,"Now that's a trip to Austin! With only 4 days to explore as mush as I could I was pushing my body to the limit energy wise. What I needed  was a place to recharge nightly. Terence provided the kind of accommodations a traveler needs. A quite and relaxing loft with fast wifi and most importantly, cleanliness! I will definitely be back to TX soon.  "
3646634,20682306,2014-10-03,5212240,Maddy,Terence was great!  We arrived way later than planned and he was so easygoing and accommodating.  The space is nice--he keeps it very tidy and there is a lot of natural light.  He had a lot to recommend about Austin and was a great host.
3646634,21024126,2014-10-09,21186387,Emily,Terence was extremely accommodating during our 1 night stay at his treehouse apartment.  He was able to accept our stay with just a few hours notice and able to reply and communicate in a timely fashion.  The treehouse was just what we needed and then some! Would recommend this place to anyone.
3646634,21249924,2014-10-13,22057205,Mike,We had a great time staying at the Loft!  Terrance was a fantastic host who was very eager to make our experience in Austin one to remember.  When we arrived there was a welcome basket and a map to guide us around some of the notable landmarks in the area.  It was everything we could've hoped for.  Thanks Terrance!
3646634,21509607,2014-10-19,19477658,Alison,"Terence was a fantastic host! When we arrived, he greeted us and made us feel at home. It was my boyfriend's birthday, and he had left a happy birthday note for him! It was a nice touch. The loft is really cool, too! His place is very clean and neat. He was very respectful and let us have privacy, but also was readily available to answer any questions we had. The apartment is in a great spot in Austin, right next to I-35 for easy access to downtown. Thanks Terence! We had a great time!"
3646634,22459788,2014-11-07,12801923,Will,"We unfortunately did not get to meet Terence, but he was super helpful and communicative. The place was as described, priced very fairly, and a great location in Austin. Highly recommended!"
3646634,22591031,2014-11-10,15387253,Daniel,"The place is perfect for two people. It was clean, cool and the apt complex is really nice. The neighborhood is calm. 

The only odd thing about the place is the ladder to the second floor, where the bed is. It's difficult to climb barefoot and half asleep. "
3646634,23519845,2014-12-02,21139908,Sarah,The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3646634,26263616,2015-02-08,4779081,Kate,"The place was great! Good location, cool loft bed, perfect size for the two of us."
3646634,37227188,2015-07-05,36455912,Priti,I didn't get to meet Terence but he was always available through phone to help. We had a nice lil welcome basket on our arrival. I loved the treehouse bed. The house is quirky and cute much like Austin is. It's neat and clean and we had all amenities that we could need. The location is convenient and parking is easy. I'd definitely stay here again. 
3646634,38031493,2015-07-12,13974857,Colin,Terence's apartment was perfect. It was a little small but exactly what we needed and well-priced. Nicely decorated place in a quiet neighborhood.
3646634,41095518,2015-08-04,36162839,Kristopher,"Terence is a terrific host. He is very accommodating and thoughtful. I really appreciated his prompt and quick responses via text and email. The cosy treehouse loft is a very accurate description, perfect for 2-3 guests. The Hyde Park neighborhood is nice, quiet, and conveniently located so that many things are a quick commute away. I really enjoyed my stay, and I would not hesitate to book this place again. Thank you so much Terence!

"
3646634,46049460,2015-09-07,33779262,Bruce,"Great place. Everything was what it was, as described. It was a great experience. Thanks again!"
3646634,49498157,2015-10-04,33870693,Kristen,"Terence was an excellent host. He waited at the apartment so he could meet us when we arrived, which we really appreciated. He left us a basket with useful things like a map of the neighborhood and towels and soap for showering. His place was very clean - it's an amazing apartment! He was very accommodating and welcoming."
6169536,51039694,2015-10-17,35839393,Dimitri,"My host Chris met me and I felt  welcome in his home - a beautiful new house. It was very clean, in a nice and quiet location and near downtown, stores and restaurants. My host was hospitable and I would recommend his home to anyone."
7306365,38951845,2015-07-19,11607817,Inmi,"My friend and I stayed at Larissa's place for two nights. My friend needed an early check-in and she made it so easy. The place was very clean and there were many details that I appreciated about the house. She left plenty of coffee and tea for us with a little treat. What I appreciated the most was when we arrived at home late at night, she had left a small light on for us. The bicycle station is just down the street so it was easy to get around the town. The location was ideal for us since it was close to everything. We had a pleasant stay!"
74716,7918079,2013-10-08,7786420,Kate,"It was such a pleasure staying at Jennifer's sweet guest room! We were very sad to leave. She, and her flatmates, were all beyond welcoming and truly lovely, going out of their way to make us feel comfortable and ensure that our stay in Austin was brilliant. Which it was. Her place is fabulous - very private and quiet, close to public transport, and has everything you need. The bed was super comfortable, and Jen even stocked our little fridge for us with cold drinks and breakfast food, provided different types of lovely specialty tea and a kettle, and laid out shampoo/conditioner/bath gels and toothpaste! The room itself was huge, and we had loads of closet space and our own bathroom and shower. Oh, and wifi! Could not recommend her enough - we loved every minute and hope to get back one day again!"
74716,49897320,2015-10-07,194500,Brooke,"We had a wonderful girls weekend for ACL at Jennifer’s guest house.  Jennifer was a very gracious and accommodating host!  We had a few minor plumbing issues that came up, but Jennifer responded to them, had them fixed immediately and also offered us a discount for the inconvenience, though it really wasn’t necessary.  Other than that, the room was clean and the beds were comfy (the bed, the futon couch, and the air mattress – I slept on a different one each night.)  Even though its only one room, there was plenty of space for four girls for a long weekend.  There was also plenty of privacy because even though it’s listed as a “room in house”, the room is completely separate with its own private entrance on the side of the house.  
It was my first time in Austin, so I am not really familiar with the different areas.  The neighborhood was older, but seemed safe enough and was located a convenient $5 Uber ride from the downtown/6th St area.  The house is “cemetery adjacent” as we jokingly dubbed it, so if that freaks you out, it might not be the right place for you...but we didn’t see any ghosts ;).  
We all agreed that we would highly recommend staying at Jennifer’s guest house and would happily stay there again.  Oh and BTW “Biscuit” the orange tabby cat is very friendly and adorable! 
"
74716,50462487,2015-10-12,12768042,Annelyse,"The room was super spacious and very cute. It had its own separate entrance and was completely private which was nice. Jennifer was a great host and was very attentive, she had even stocked the mini fridge with some snacks which was very kind. The house was a short uber ride away from all the attractions, so it was easy to get everywhere we needed. Would definitely recommend staying here."
74716,51295344,2015-10-19,4219594,Jenna,"Jennifer was a fantastic host and I very much enjoyed my stay at her lovely home. Her home is conveniently located near downtown Austin, and within walking distance of the capitol/downtown area. The house is older but very clean and nicely furnished, and there's a patio and big front porch. The room is very spacious, and with a separate entrance and a private bathroom, I really felt like I had an apartment to myself, not just a room in a house. While there is no kitchen in the room itself, there is a small fridge, coffee maker, and kettle, and Jennifer provided tea, coffee, and beverages. The room gets great light and the bed is comfortable. Jennifer was welcoming and friendly, and had a wealth of information about Austin. All in all, highly recommended! If I'm ever in Austin again, I'll try and stay there."
74716,52786113,2015-11-01,4188655,Vangelis,"Staying at Jennifer's was a pure joy. The place is full of character and you can see Jennifer's personality on the details. Great recommendations for places to go around the neighborhood, superb communication, lovely area. Overviewing the cemetery gives a great sense of calmness.  Bed was really good as well. As other people have mentioned here it definitely feels more like having your own place rather than renting a room. "
731070,22353012,2014-11-04,14033165,Walter,Our hosts were great.  They were very accommodating of our arrival times and welcomed us with wine and pastries.  The property was clean and well-maintained with a nice kitchen and all of the amenities.  Location was convenient to SoCo and walking distance from great places to dine/drink/shop.
731070,22564508,2014-11-09,827484,Min Soo,"Arnie's lovely modern home was perfect for our needs.  The place is felt open, airy and clean.  The beds and bedding; clean and comfortable.  The entire place is well-appointed and spot on for busy weary travelers like myself, but also a great place to come home to and unwind.  Arnie was simply a pleasure to deal with in our last minute arrangements.  He also left us great coffee (godsend) and wine.  I only wished I was able to return the favor.  In whole,  the stay continues my belief in good people who actually care about the airbnb experience for guests and hosts alike.  "
731070,48034814,2015-09-22,43876967,Mickey,"This is a beautiful home in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin!  We were able to walk to so many great restaurants, shopping and more.  We had a large family group in town for a wedding, and the house was perfect for our needs: tons of space, extremely comfortable, well maintained and just very very nice from top to bottom.

The owners were wonderful hosts, and communicated very well from the moment we made the reservation, which made our trip to Austin really great for my family.  A great experience all around...thank you so much!!!"
731070,49732796,2015-10-05,18210718,Brandon,This is a great house to stay in Austin. It was bigger than I thought upon arrival. House is very close to all the action on South Congress. Arnie was very easy to communicate with and even left us some treats on the kitchen table for our arrival. Would definitely come back to this house. 
4296664,21818258,2014-10-24,21174317,Louis,Gp is a really cool guy; you can tell he is very open-minded and always down to meet new people.
4296664,21864494,2014-10-25,15901913,Danielle,"Comfortable space with air mattress in main room as shown in (website hidden) was very friendly and great to chat with. Plato, the puppy, was adorable and entertaining. Short walk to bus stop. Looking forward to my next visit to Austin!"
4296664,22166539,2014-10-31,22693591,Hunter,The listing was accurate and quite a steal for the price! Gp was an amazingly friendly guy who was flexible with both check in times and extending my nights. He has a friendly puppy and keeps a clean space to sleep in.
4296664,27193698,2015-02-27,28418487,George,"Gp was a great host—a friendly guy with a pretty adorable dog. Staying at his place was incredibly relaxed, and he was flexible and welcoming as far as my needs and schedule. I found his place to be comfortable and quiet, and had no trouble focusing on some work I had to do on my computer—he's got a great little house in the eastern part of town. If you're looking for a good, affordable and easy housing situation, I would certainly recommend giving Gp a try."
4296664,28437712,2015-03-23,29118900,Cyrus,Was everything I needed! A place to crash and shower. Really flexible on check in/out times.
4296664,29953868,2015-04-14,30514474,Megan,"GP is a very educated about Austin and a super helpful/honest host. The mattress is twin sized and he did provide sheets and a pillow, and a towel for showering. His dog Plato, is super cute and well behaved. Overall,  I'd say it was a great first experience with Airbnb. "
4296664,31977513,2015-05-12,31245022,Rachael,"GP is an amazing and kind individual. If you ever find yourself visiting Austin, I would highly recommend crashing at his place. "
4296664,32185290,2015-05-15,31386023,Sam,"Gp and Sarah are chill and easygoing. The accommodations are basic (crashing on the floor) but that's clear from the description. I recommend bringing your own sleeping stuff, silverware, soap, shower shoes, and towel. If you are used to camping you'll be quite comfortable. If you're prissy and have an inflated sense of self importance get a hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and it's easy to bike into downtown. If you're saving money for a stay in town this is a good option."
4296664,33001933,2015-05-24,31760579,Troy,Gp is a good guy. Nice place. Exactly what I needed. 
4296664,35521582,2015-06-19,21303422,Sierra,"Gp was very friendly & welcoming. I was expecting to buy an air mattress, but he already had one there, which was very comforting. "
4296664,37275218,2015-07-05,37332829,Tom,"My stay at GP's was awesome. I was really struggling for a place to stay in Austin as I got in late and it was the weekend of the 4th (website hidden) wasn't even in town but he accepted me and allowed me to stay at his place. It's in a prime location and in a friendly neighbourhood. Managed to catch GP on Sunday as he came back from LA and the guy was super friendly, bubbly and fun. Shame we couldn't have partied the weekend I stayed but if you're reading this and need a place to stay...GP's is definitely the place in Austin! "
4296664,37704222,2015-07-09,37172789,Lea,"Staying at GP and Sarah's house was a wonderful (website hidden) was very fast in communicating with me the whole trip, and made me feel very welcome to the house. I only got to meet Sarah and she did everything she could to make me feel comfortable in the house. Great experience!"
4296664,38088757,2015-07-12,38165965,Rachael,Not the best area in town but I never felt unsafe. Pretty close to the airport. Slept on the floor in the corner. Very cute pitbull and a roommate also has a smaller dog both are sweet animals. Dont expect luxury but also not particular about time you come in or leave. 
4296664,41715622,2015-08-08,15293618,Blake,Although GP was out of town he was still able to have his roommate accommodate me. Both GP and his roommate were nothing but courteous and polite the entire time. The neighborhood and quaint quarters made me feel right at home. I wish I could have met the dog! 
4296664,42637516,2015-08-14,16352556,Weston,"I was able to book this place very last minute and the host was accommodating about arrival (website hidden) was inviting and eager to share his knowledge of Austin. The air mattress was comfortable and although there were other guests staying as well, the place didn't feel over crowded."
4296664,45748502,2015-09-05,42852890,Alicya,Had a great stay! GP is very nice and willing to accommodate plans and bonus: the pup is a super sweetheart! Would definitely recommend staying here!
4296664,46105657,2015-09-07,42730275,Pratham,"Gp knows all the cool places to go in Austin and he helped me in planning the trip. He was friendly and chill all the time. The accommodation is basically what the title says - a couch or an air mattress to sleep on. To be fair, its not the neatest of places, its like a college boy's house. And although, there are other guests in the house, I had no problems during my stay."
4296664,48468751,2015-09-26,35721654,Brittany,"G.P was awesome! He was so welcoming and friendly. He told me all the spots to check out and things to do at night. His house is 50 feet from the bus stop that brings you into downtown which was super convenient because Uber rides get expensive. I would stay with G.P again, no doubt. He's a great person to talk to about anything also. I enjoyed my stay and felt very comfortable being there as a female traveling alone. Thanks G.P."
4296664,49500706,2015-10-04,15027580,Mike,Place was very homey and comfy.  Great (website hidden) was an accommodating and efficient communicator. Place is better than pictured.  Highly recommended.
4296664,50476849,2015-10-12,11980340,Robert,"Awesome set-up for ACL! Cheap as heck, 2 minute walk to the CapMetro 2 bus downtown, GP had the air mattress blown up and made by the time I got there, and Plato the puppy was a great companion. A/C was also clutch with the Texas heat I was not accustomed to. Overall a great crash site!"
4296664,51684145,2015-10-22,22457423,Marcus,"Gp was very welcoming and did everything to make sure I was comfortable. Space is great for price, had no problems at all."
1411384,10835692,2014-03-10,9876310,Mike,"Great house, incredibly friendly and a perfect place to make your ""home base"" for your time in Austin."
1411384,11013594,2014-03-17,4980539,Angie,The house was peaceful and clean and we felt very at home thanks to Tina's lovely hospitality. There was a snack basket and even toiletries like a hotel. We felt like we were staying with someone we knew. The back patio was a nice quiet retreat from the insanity of SXSW. We would definitely stay here again. 
1411384,20288285,2014-09-27,1459293,John,"Tina's place is great! Everyone in our group really enjoyed our stay. The house is comfortable, nice and clean. We had a group of five people and everyone felt as if they had enough space. Being so close to Zilker Park, Alamo South Lamar, as well as the South Congress areas are a big plus.

Tina is very responsive and graciously asked us if there was any food she could stock for us before we arrived. Really above and beyond. We would all definitely stay again."
1411384,20891831,2014-10-07,14563728,Dave,"Tina's place was perfect for me and my group of friends! What a great spot! We were able to walk to ACL fest and many local bars and restaraunts. We never did visit the local supermarket though, due to the extremely generous gift basket of supplies and breakfast foods that Tina left for us. Tina was close by, and was extremely responsive to all our needs.  ...and not to mention she and her husband are just the nicest people. (even for Austin!)

 I am definitely planning a trip back to Austin just to visit and take in the city. When I do, I'm calling Tina first.  Come visit, and you will not be dissappointed.

"
1411384,21937494,2014-10-27,13674267,Catherine,"Tina met us at the property and showed us around the house and gave suggestions for seeing the area.  She had stocked the kitchen with the ""necessities"" and was very generous with the goodies she gave us for snacking.
The house was as advertised and was clean and comfortable, spacious and inviting for our Girls Weekend."
1411384,22356021,2014-11-04,13541457,Brian,Michael met us at the house and gave us a quick tour. He was very welcoming and gave us all the info we needed for the house. Tina had left a basket of coffee and snacks for us on the counter and they also had food in the fridge for us to make breakfasts with. The house worked really well for 4 guys coming into town for the F1 Race. The location is pretty nice if you want to walk around the park. It is a quick drive or about an $11 Uber ride into downtown. It is also really easy to get to the airport or COTA. I would stay here again for sure in the future.
1411384,28375849,2015-03-23,16065582,James,"We stayed at Tina's house for the entire span of SXSW this year and had an awesome time.  The house was awesome and the location made it a perfect home base for our crew.  Tina was super helpful and really made us feel at home.  Highly recommend this place!

Thanks!"
1411384,29737539,2015-04-12,27803830,Charlice,"This house worked out perfect for our family! It was clean, roomy and just as described.  Tina was awesome and very accommodating for our schedule.  She even offered snacks and items for our breakfast.  The neighborhood is perfectly situated to access all of the fun Austin has to offer.  I would definitely use this house again on my next trip to Austin."
1411384,49762626,2015-10-06,12002967,Kevyn,"Tina's house is incredibly close to ACL in Zilker neighborhood. She was a great host - she met us at the house, showed us around, and left all kinds of snacks and fruit for us. There were even beach towels if we wanted to go down to Barton Springs. There was a ton of space. It was so nice to come home there and relax after the festival. :) "
2384537,22354450,2014-11-04,15022838,Ryan,"Chris was a fantastic host and his place is great. I've sometimes found on Airbnb that the photos look great but the real thing can let you down a bit or maybe not be as clean as you'd expect. However this was not the case at all with Chris' place - it was immaculate and looked even better in the flesh. 

It is in a really good area too - not smack bang in the centre but in a nice residential area that's close enough to everything. We used to Uber to get into town but also walked in a couple of times, which took us about 30 minutes. 

5 of us stayed in the house and there was plenty of room with 3 bedrooms, a den and kitchen/living area. 

Chris left us some beers and hooked up my iPhone to his music system. These little touches really enhanced the experience. 

Check out the farmers market right next to the house on a Sunday and try the Brisket Sandwich! "
2384537,28179049,2015-03-19,19569428,Joel,Everything about the listing was accurate and Chris was a fantastic host. I would love to stay here again and definitely recommend anybody looking for a place in Austin to consider this! 
2011847,9122248,2013-12-08,8917264,Dave,"We had such a fun time visiting Austin, and this location was absolutely perfect for going out downtown. Jordan was such a generous host and eager to share his home with us. The house was cute, undergoing some repair work while we were there, but it didn't impact our stay at all. We would gladly come back."
2011847,9327937,2013-12-21,15710,Michael,"Jordan's place is awesome! He's in the middle of a remodel, so by the time you get here everything will probably be new and shiny.

The location is ideal, walking distance to downtown, Sixth Street, Rainey St, and Central East Austin.

It's great that it comes with a bike to use, it's a perfect way to see the city.

I clocked 24 Mbps download & 3 Mbps upload over Wi-Fi, which is solid.

Jordan is a really nice guy and super knowledgeable about Austin and the tech scene (he works at a fast-growing startup here).

Jordan's girlfriend brought over an amazing bacon quiche, that was really good. I wouldn't plan on your stay coming with quiche specifically, but it's the type of thing Jordan regularly does. He's a really generous host.

Also, I had to shorten my trip unexpectedly and Jordan let me change the reservation after it had started. That was really nice, he didn't have to do that.

I'd definitely stay here again, you should too."
2011847,9341047,2013-12-22,4433293,Matt,"Jordan was an accompanying host, meeting with us in short notice and offering a few free drinks to my traveling brother and I. The bedroom was tight and the bed was on the ground, but it was otherwise a fine place to sleep with clean sheets. 

There were no clean towels or toiletries included, which is typical of Ari BnB of this price. The location was the best perk, being in close walking distance of all the action. Overall quite pleased. "
2011847,9436371,2013-12-28,10795578,Kyle,"I was disappointed with these accommodations, particularly considering the price. The pictures on the house's listing don't really convey that the room is extremely small (I'd say 6' by 8'), or that the bed is just a mattress on the ground. 

Perhaps I should have scrutinized the pictures more carefully, but the price ($70 for two people) certainly indicated that there should be more to it. Also, it wasn't really clear that it was a shared bathroom. That might be on me as a ""buyer beware"" moment, but if I were living there it wouldn't occur to me to rent out any part of the space, particularly not at $70 a night.

Some other points: The bed did not have a sheet between the bedspread and the comforter. I'll give the host the benefit of the doubt that he washes the comforter, but you should always have a full set of sheets on a bed.

The glassware was not particularly clean, and the living room furniture consists of a camp chair. This is very much a bachelor pad.


"
2011847,9458199,2013-12-29,10833199,Kyle,"Jordan was really helpful and cool.  His spot walking distance from 2 of the coolest nightlife scenes in Austin (E.6th and Rainey St.).  Jordan was very accommodating.  He offered his beer and laundry facility and was friendly and warm throughout the visit. The room itself is pretty basic, just a bed and a lamp but when you're that close to the action of Downtown Austin, you won't want to be spending time in the room anyway.  I would definitely recommend this room to anyone who wants to check out the city on foot!    "
2011847,9512194,2013-12-31,10816347,Yuhui,"The house was in an ideal location, close to the entertainment venues on Rainey St and East 6th St. We had a last minute change in plan and Jordan was more than happy to accommodate us. The room however was a little small, nothing more than a mattress on the floor - this was adequate for our needs but do take note! "
2011847,9657290,2014-01-04,2910295,Nadine,"First off, Jordan was an incredible host! He was very knowledgable of the area and had many recommendations to share with us. He also exchanged a few great and funny stories since his time in Austin. We had also met his girlfriend and his brother and both were very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. His place is in walking distance of Austin, especially 6th street. The room is pretty small with a mattress on the floor, but it worked for us. The bathroom is shared between everyone in the house but it was always kept clean. During our stay, Jordan was fine tuning a few renovations in the house, it didn't bother us at all. We would definitely stay at his place if we were to visit Austin again!"
2011847,10276927,2014-02-10,7803113,Julie,"Jordan was a nice guy- very laid back and helpful for our last minute weekend in Austin. We had a great time thanks to some of his suggestions!

Thanks, Jordan!"
2011847,10306644,2014-02-11,11616729,Erin,Ideal location. Small room. Jordan was a very nice guy. 
2011847,10379776,2014-02-17,10459949,Ida,"The host was friendly and oriented me to the neighborhood and places to eat when I arrived. Air bnb message was the best way to communicate with him. The decor was minimal and tidy. The host sometimes works from home. The street is somewhat industrial with a scrap metal yard up the block. The house is walking distance to coffee shops, good food, bars, and downtown. I was in town for a conference at the convention center and this house was a convenient location- a 10 minute walk to the center."
2011847,10612052,2014-02-27,4499697,Lee,"Solid place to stay. Bed was comfortable and clean. Easy to walk to downtown once you get a lay of the land. Neighborhood was a little sketchy at night, but overall I would stay again. "
2011847,11371050,2014-03-31,13079272,Jeff,"Juliet and Jordan's space is simple and well located. Hosts were courteous and provided copious suggestions. Would definitely stay again.
"
2011847,11502626,2014-04-05,7420623,William,Nice and mellow people - great location
2011847,11586003,2014-04-08,262204,Catherine,"Our stay was nice, quiet and private. Didn't get a chance to meet our host, but she responded promptly to any questions we had. Thanks again!"
2011847,11958061,2014-04-20,12971454,Elizabeth,"Juliet was very friendly and helpful.  She offered many suggestions on what we could do in the area, and made sure we had what we needed.  About the house.  The location is perfect for visiting the city as it's walking distance from most of the things you'll want to do downtown. The location is the house's best feature. The room itself is comically small, but the bed was comfortable and met our needs just fine.  That little nightstand you see in the picture wasn't there when we were there. There's a little clothes rack you can hang clothes on, but almost no space to stand when two people are in the room. I left my stuff in the corner on the floor and put the suitcase in the laundry room as it wouldn't fit in the room. While we liked the place overall, this a place to use as a home base, not a place you want to stay in long.  The bathroom was clean and perfectly fine.  There were sheets and towels that were clean and ready to use when we got there.  Though we were nervous sharing the house with a stranger, we only saw Jordan (the man who lives there) about 5 minutes total in the 3 nights we were there, and he was perfectly friendly.  The walls of the room could definitely use some paint (that picture must have been taken a long time ago) but we did see Jordan talking to a contractor so maybe that's in the works. Also, a shirt of mine got pushed under the bed and came out covered in dust, so that should be cleaned. Short version: Great location; don't plan on spending much time in the house though.  "
2011847,12326511,2014-04-29,4284884,Thomas,It was great! Julia is very accessible and very helpful. The location is perfect for anybody attending a conference at the Austin convention center. There is a great coffee shop half a block away that is perfect for having a morning breakfast before a very busy day.
2011847,12700945,2014-05-08,7533320,Brian,"Chris was a great host. Comfortable bed, and close to everything including 6th street and public transportation.  Would recommend! "
2011847,13869008,2014-06-06,988835,Angela,What a whirlwind my trip to Austin was! I was in town for conference and realized a few hours before I got on my flight from San Francisco that the first night's accommodation was not included.  Julia was gracious enough to accept my request at the very last minute.  The house is clean and tidy and in a great location (walk down to the food truck court on Cesar Chavez for great Korean food).  Julia was also super flexible with the check out time when I realized I faced major ankle injuries if I planned to stand in the heels I packed all day and needed to make a quick shopping trip.  Highly recommend!
2011847,13932158,2014-06-08,16065082,Andrew,Place was as shown in the pictures. Walked home from 6th street a couple different nights around 1-2am - didn't have any problems walking alone (am 30 yr. male). Would definitely consider staying here again. 
2011847,14112109,2014-06-12,12486239,Kathleen,"Proximity to everything cool is what is key here, however we found the pictures somewhat misleading (e.g. there is no bedside table in the bedroom like the picture has), and the place is quite threadbare, but other than that it functions very well as a base (with a great aircon system!) Would recommend as it is in walking distance to lots of great things.
"
2011847,14632979,2014-06-23,13807862,Lance,Everything was great. Incredible response time.
2011847,14896146,2014-06-28,14513225,Ana,"Nice room , bit too small , cool house "
2011847,15512218,2014-07-10,17010805,Ryan,"Nice place in a transitioning neighborhood - an easy walk to downtown Austin, where I rented a bike. "
2011847,16935819,2014-08-04,17402059,Markku,A really good place. I will stay again if I visit Austin.
2011847,17068689,2014-08-06,18596572,Ryan,"The bed was a huge disappointment.  The first night we got back to the room late after a few drinks on 6th Street and the bedding smelled terrible.  It severely stunk of body odor.  The smell was all over the sheets, pillow cases, comforter and pillows.  It clearly had not been washed.  The next day we cleaned the bedding ourselves which removed the odor.  The bed was also very uncomfortable but that wasn't as disappointing as the inability to wash the linens prior to a new guest.  In all other aspects the place was exactly as listed and met expectations.  The two nights of awful sleep would lead me to not recommend this listing."
2011847,17403438,2014-08-11,19355986,Debbie,"Perfect for someone needing place to crash that doesn't mind the room's lightswitch being outside the room in the hallway, or having to shimmy sideways to get in/out of the bed (which was comfy enough). Bless the a/c which made it bearable. Confused about who ""Jordan"" was... notes on fridge thanked Jordan profusely, never saw him/her tho & this listing is for host Julia. Emails were mega-prompt. Rules were vague ""golden-rule"" style so not sure as Airbnb 1st timer if I was ""doing it right"" or not. Bit worried re my car on street as there were vagrants milling about on the block & 2x the police were arresting someone over my weekend stay. Very close to downtown/convention center on other side of 35fwy. Overall, place was tidy & offered bottled h2o on honor system. "
2011847,17519362,2014-08-13,18062821,Norman,Room is small but does the job. House is friendly and casual. Has that Austin ambiance. Residential neighborhood that is extremely close to downtown.
2011847,17789109,2014-08-17,13528029,Elizabeth,"My experience was great! 

Julia and her team responded very quickly! This was my first AirBnB experience and it couldn't have been better. The room was comfortable and exactly what is pictured in the photos. 

Everything we wanted to see was within walking or biking distance from the home. I felt extremely safe in the area. 

I would definitely stay here again!"
2011847,17837803,2014-08-18,7877135,Josh,"Location, Location, Location! This location is incredibly close to 6th street, but the neighborhood is a little sketchy at night if walking.  The photo shows a bright room with fresh/new bedding and table cover, but the actual bedding was more dated.  No biggie, though.  
Julie communicated quickly and effectively.  the home was clean and otherwise as advertised.  I was pleased with the value of the room, given the location."
2011847,18320966,2014-08-25,8182395,Michelle,"I didn't actually meet Julia, but Jordan who lives in the home was super accommodating and gave me some great pointers on places to check out while in town.  The location was a few blocks from the convention center, so it was easy for me to walk to/from my classes there every day.  The room was on the small side, which was fine for me as I was there by myself.  However I don't know how comfortable it would've been with 2+ people staying there.  I did love the key-less entry, super convenient.  Overall it was a great experience!"
2011847,18824001,2014-09-01,19659327,Gabriella,"We had a fantastic stay at Julia's place. The room was just as advertised, the house was kept clean through out our stay. 

Definitely recommended!"
2011847,19028702,2014-09-05,3794600,Amit,"The location is great as it is very close to I-35. I walked to the State Capitol in about twenty minutes. The place is well organized and the common areas are clean. The washroom was not very clean though. The room is small since the picture was shot from the door, so there isn't much space to work. If you plan on being out for most of your stay in Austin, then this place is awesome. The couple in the neighbouring room were very loud."
2011847,19248948,2014-09-08,20709796,Rosanna,Everything was fine for my short stay. Missed one night due to delayed flight. Julia was quick to respond by text and phone when I had any requests and/or questions.
2011847,19308032,2014-09-09,19995912,Grant,"Its a Great Place to stay, small room so if you have a lot of stuff not a room for you. But for me it was Great, would love to stay Again.  "
2011847,19390304,2014-09-11,3849014,Samara,We had a lovely time in Julia's place. It was clean and very close to 6th. She was super friendly and accessible. Highly recommended! 
2011847,19663421,2014-09-15,1245962,Joey,"Julia and the crew have the process down to a science, and I don't think I ever waited more than 2 minutes for a reply to my messages. The checkin is extremely smooth due to the keypad doors, and the house is very well located. Just keep in mind that the room itself is pretty tight, but it worked great for my uses."
2011847,19944924,2014-09-21,12068435,Arnold,Very easy access to house and room. The house was close to downtown and it was on a quiet street with plenty of street parking. I had a pleasant stay.
2011847,20219607,2014-09-25,21632888,John,"Nice, simple clean, friendly, conveniently located.
Close to convention center.
Had to leave a day early, but saved me money."
2011847,20543437,2014-09-30,755170,Daylon,"Check in was a snap, and Julia was more than accommodating with my late check in and check out times. "
2011847,20890029,2014-10-06,551888,Vanessa,"we booked this room last minute, we were very lucky! the check in process is really smooth, the room is tiny but perfect for what we were looking for (just a place to crash). We stayed just one night and it was great! "
2011847,21377509,2014-10-16,13552788,Lindsay,"The place was sweet, if you stay here you've got to hang out at all the local little food truck parks. There was a bit of construction happening while I was there, all good though, spent most of time in Austin at ACL. It was about a 45 min walk to Zilker park, which was what I wanted.

Short stroll into the city and a little bit of a longer walk south and you can check out the SOCO area."
2011847,22098387,2014-10-30,15784641,James,"The host was very attentive to my needs, recommending places to eat, places to shop, getting me things like an iron and ironing board. The neighborhood was nice, younger, kind of an artsy area. The room and house were clean and I enjoyed my stay. I was a physician in town for a convention that took up most of my time so this room worked out great especially considering hotels around the convention center were in 200-300 per night range. "
2011847,22288373,2014-11-03,84313,Scott,"Welcoming host, very good with arrangements, great location if you're looking for central Austin.  "
2011847,23029136,2014-11-20,12457776,Rick,"Fair experience. The entrance was messy. Seems like some renovation was behind done. The room is too small for my taste. However, the location is central which is awesome.
The neighborhood is quiet and safe."
2011847,23139309,2014-11-23,17678283,Matthew,"This was not what I expected. This was a small house in a sketchy neighborhood. I chose Air bnb to avoid a seedy hotel scene. The person doesn't live there, and I don't even know if Julia is real. Someone else answers the phone. Rather than a quaint personal cultural experience, it felt like rental housing getting around the local codes. Austin's zoning requires that sharing economy housing be owner occupied. Not the case. They did let me leave my suitcase past checkout while I tooled around on my last day which was nice. It makes me worry about Air BnB quality in the future."
2011847,23648116,2014-12-07,17968674,Rodolfo,"I can't accurately review this location because I ended staying at a different one, since the original place was being renovated. I will say though, that the new location was plenty adequate, clean and had a dorm room feel to it. With other young people coming in and out at all times of the day; it is a young town after all. Even though we were barely there (only to sleep) and I don't recall seeing our host, we really enjoyed the stay."
2011847,23798744,2014-12-10,24262705,Jinsong,"The loandlord is not honest. She confirmed me the room and address at the given date and time before my arrival at the confirmed address.
When I arrived at the confirmed address at the confirmed time, Julia Sousa told me the room is not available. "
2011847,24199357,2014-12-22,22264612,Kristiāna,Me and my husband stayed at Julias' place for three nights. The place was clean and cozy. There was a construction going on in the kitchen but that didn't bother us much. Our room was extremely small but the location was very convenient. 
2011847,24441217,2014-12-28,21896830,Arvind,"Great location, within walking distance of downtown Austin. Lots of free street parking available. The room is small, but sufficient."
2011847,24575949,2014-12-30,11151905,Silvestre,"I'm a new user so for my first experience, I'll say it was just ok. House is quaint and location is perfect. We could hear people coming in and out of the house very clearly, waking us up super (email hidden)d super early. Kitchen is not complete and is under construction. No hot water in front shower. Booking and paying was super easy and they had the place ready for us on the fly. That being said, it was definitely more of a transactional experience. Not bad, but not ideal. "
2011847,24688159,2015-01-01,23164503,Annabelle,Thank you so much for letting us stay on New Years Eve! The room is small like it looks in the picture but in all honesty you get what you pay for! Its so close to everything that there is no need to spend time in the room so the size was not an issue. It was close to sixth street and perfect for our needs. The bed was comfortable with clean linen and fresh towels provided. The single downside was that the shower would not get hot.
2011847,24888650,2015-01-03,20438371,Richard,"Just as the description promised, an efficient room in a fantastic location. Julia left lots of helpful information for out of town guests and made the whole process transparent and easy to navigate. A great place for exploring Austin's East Side and downtown."
2011847,25121598,2015-01-06,408440,Mike,The place was perfect! Close to town and cozy.
2011847,25260087,2015-01-10,10346622,Max,"Awesome location, awesome place. Very private, with code access to both the house and your own room. I enjoyed it a lot. Wifi was great, and everything worked just fine. Julia was very attentive and sent me all the information I needed within minutes. Thank you!"
2011847,25490335,2015-01-17,13711590,Kent,"Clean, quiet stay. Walking distance to east side bars and restaurants. Towels left out for us."
2011847,25532352,2015-01-18,22795828,Alex,"Cozy, comfortable bed! Affordable and welcoming. Thanks for the great stay."
2011847,25921476,2015-01-29,26864756,Brandon,Easy walk to 6th st. Great place. 
2011847,25980436,2015-01-31,14766061,Jordan,"This house's location was PERFECT for my first trip to Austin. Traveling on a student's budget meant no Ubers, busses, or car rentals, so this location was just right for gals who walked miles and miles to get around every day. 

I didn't meet the host, but I very briefly met Jordan who lived in the house, and though he wasn't the friendliest when we arrived, he and his girlfriend were helpful when we asked for a recommendation. 

The room is small-- just like the picture looks-- so if you're traveling lightly with someone you can hang close to, then it's a great spot. "
2011847,26280815,2015-02-08,6986669,Iain,"Super accomodating host, handled my additional nights with no problems. It was a pleasure dealing with Julia."
2011847,26632983,2015-02-16,18116388,Chris,"Great experience! Clean and comfortable.  Worked perfectly for running the Austin marathon - loved that I could walk to downtown and experience this cool city by foot.  Host was exceptionally responsive, always providing fast feedback. "
2011847,26727752,2015-02-17,10284114,Jen & Allison,"My flight was cancelled and I needed a place to just sleep. Julia responded quickly and the check in is a smooth process. The room is very small but again, I only needed a place to sleep a few hours. "
2011847,26934552,2015-02-22,26978610,Nicolas,Really well situated (5 min walk from downtown Austin). No issue at all with the room. It was clean and the bed was great.
2011847,27492227,2015-03-06,14498020,Yu,"This is the best experience you will expect from Airbnb. Comfortable beds, clean room, easy check-in, and nice host(s), what else? The rooms are a bit of small, but we are travelers, not top businessmen. And this place is 10x better than any of hostels which come with the similar price."
2011847,28686203,2015-03-28,29854697,Grea,Although I was unable to meet the host the room was great and everything was as advertised. Overall really enjoyed my stay. Thanks again for the awesome place.
2011847,29246259,2015-04-05,8409397,Sara,"Cool neighborhood, so close to everything downtown. Comfortable bed, easy check in. Just what we needed for a short weekend stay in Austin! Thanks, Julia!"
2011847,29895412,2015-04-13,1166938,Ciara,"Julia's room was perfect-- clean, in a cool, quiet location. We had a great time staying there!"
2011847,30060994,2015-04-16,12093790,Francis,"The room was just as advertised and really easy to check-in. The room was right down the street from everything downtown and great for a quick stay in Austin!

Thanks!"
2011847,30268456,2015-04-19,13711590,Kent,Second time staying in this room. Wish I owned it!
2011847,31605943,2015-05-07,11007395,Claudia,"Positive:
The house really was in walking distance to everything Downtown. 10 Min to 6th or Rainey Street and also the Metro Station. So it is a great deal for the price compared to other rooms in Austin. Everything was well organized. I got the door codes for my room and the house in advance as well as a description in how to get there. They had coffee and milk and laundry included which was great as I continued travelling after Austin.

Negative:
It seems that the owners run the house as a business. It feels like you come into a hostel without a reception. There are many rooms and other houses they rent out on airbnb and Julia does not really live there. This was totally not what I expected from the decription.  I expected to get in touch with a nice girl called Julia who lives there, have a chat and find out what´s nice to see and do in Austin. Instead I found a sterile and not much welcoming atmosphere  - I suppose it depends what you expect when you travel via airbnb. The room was mini and the mattress worn out."
2011847,31914472,2015-05-11,26059842,David,Impersonal living space but did the trick. The house had great amenities.
2011847,32215589,2015-05-15,13394901,Anne,"Het verblijf bij Julia was goed verzorgd. Geen gedoe met sleutels, alle toegang elektronisch. Met heldere instructies. Julia niet gezien. De woonkamer/keuken en badkamer van het mooie modern ingerichte huisje gedeeld met andere gasten. Heel klein kamertje met goed tweepersoonsbed. Op  nog geen 10 minuten lopen van 6th Street! Vlakbij restaurantjes en supermarkt (7th Street). Alles goed verzorgd, van alle gemakken voorzien (goede keukenvoorziening). Een welkom adres voor stadsbezichtiging en ideaal voor sportievelingen zonder auto. Thank you Julia!"
2011847,32271953,2015-05-16,14648319,Alyssa,"This is a perfect place to stay if you are going to an event downtown! I was in Austin for a concert at Stubbs, which turned out to be a very easy 15 min walk from our room. We were also in easy walking distance from a number of places to eat.

The house itself is lovely! While our room was small, mostly just the bed which was unbelievably comfortable, the main living room was large and comfortable. While we did not use the kitchen, but it was still nice to have the option!

The bathroom was also nice and towels were available for use in the laundry area. I'm a sucker for good water pressure so I was sold. 

I did not have a chance to meet Julia, but everything in the house ran so smoothly that it was not a problem. The keypad entry on the main doors and the room doors made me feel very safe.

I hope to stay here again next time I'm in the area!"
2011847,32408758,2015-05-17,12179382,Tyler,The house is a short walk from the Convention Center and is stocked with the essentials for a quick overnight. Julia is easy to work with.
2011847,32874300,2015-05-22,2045404,Alasdair,Great multi room house which I really enjoyed. Very easy to access at any arrival time thanks to the coded locks on both the main door and the bedroom door. Appreciated the ability to get ice cold beers from the fridge in exchange for a very reasonable donation. Handily located for all the local amenities.
2011847,33707438,2015-05-31,22337937,Nicole,Julia was accommodating despite having to be moved due  to the flash floods in texas. She addressed all concerns timeously. Room was clean and comfortable. Julia doesn't stay in the house but it is shared with other air bnbs and was great to meet other guests
2011847,34310429,2015-06-07,16265896,Naqiy,"Did not personally meet the host, but contact was sufficient and all my informational needs regarding the room were met completely. Good location, very close to downtown and 6th street and several trendy bars and restaurants. One potential problem is the house located near a metal scrapyard that gets quite loud on weekdays morning so take this into consideration if you're a light sleeper who wants to sleep in. The room is slightly small for two people but cute and the house itself is very clean and nice. The bathroom was clean and everyone was great about the house. Overall a good room because of the value and the great location and I would rebook in the future."
2011847,35344667,2015-06-17,296379,Richard,"Really clean, and efficient, shame I couldn't actually stay for longer."
2011847,35806148,2015-06-22,9760772,Josh,Nice little house convenient to some good bars and food spots. 
2011847,37115256,2015-07-04,37103464,Joseph,"The house itself is in a great location - I could walk everywhere I wanted to go in Austin including the Congress Ave Bridge (for the bats), Barton Springs, the Capitol Building, E 6th St, and the SoCo district. It is very conveniently located for anyone going to the Convention Centre. The room is basic but comfortable, with a nice bed, somewhere to hang good clothes, two powerpoints, and a bedside table with lots of drawers. I was only there two nights so I lived out of my suitcase. The shared bathroom is clean and amenities are provided. The couches in the shared living room are comfortable too, and I didn't use it but the kitchen seemed well-stocked and was also clean and tidy. I didn't meet Julia but Also, there's a good café (Cenote) just around the corner if you're looking for one. The description 'A nice little community of Airbnbers' is accurate, everyone was really friendly and the two guys staying in the room opposite mine were good dudes who showed me around Austin and introduced me to Texas. I'd highly recommend staying at this property - so much nicer than a backpackers hostel, not too pricey, and a great way to make new friends if you know no one in Austin. "
2011847,37248637,2015-07-05,29506205,Gabriel,Great stay overall. Comfy bed and nice shower were perfect after a night out in downtown; about 10-15 min walk to bars on 6th. Felt safe walking even late at night as there was still a bit of traffic in between; mainly pedicabs. There was confusion early on caused by another guest regarding the rooms but the host responded quickly.  Would definitely stay again.
2011847,37825089,2015-07-10,3152488,Xiaoxiao,Close to downtown. A small but affordable stay!
2011847,38679777,2015-07-17,6343348,Daniel T.,A lovely room and home within walking distance to 6th Street. Easy keypad entry. Clean and well organized. 
2011847,39361167,2015-07-22,7559603,Aaron,"Clean house, and easy access to Downtown. "
2011847,39471284,2015-07-23,12459556,Holly,"This is a good location, and the house itself is nice. My experience wasn't a superlative one, though. My room was right next to the front door which, rather loud when it opens and closes, interfered with my sleep.  On top of that there was a smell of pesticide in the house.  The host is kind and efficient.  There was some confusion about which room belonged to which person as well, and there was someone in my room when I arrived.  But it was cleared up quickly.  "
2011847,39882021,2015-07-26,39272023,Lesley,"House was great, awesome location! Renting process was so easy. Fresh towels on the bed and cold beverages in the fridge (by donation). Great experience, highly recommended."
2011847,40264249,2015-07-29,11573919,Darlene,Good experience. Pleasant atmosphere. Easy to park.
2011847,41183428,2015-08-04,34318082,Nicholas,The unit was exactly what I needed: a place to sleep and store my things near the heart of town. This place is dormitory style so be aware of that. But the place is very clean and secure and the host onsite was extremely friendly and so was everyone else. Great place. 
2011847,42370046,2015-08-12,40862786,Anthony,I stayed at two of julias spots in east austin. Places were vey well kept and her and her people were very attentive. Def recommend her space.
2011847,42498939,2015-08-13,16957163,Madison,Very clean and close to 6th street bars. Code access was great to have.
2011847,42927567,2015-08-16,39744856,Katarzyna,"I enjoyed our stay - the location is just perfect, 5 minutes to the downtown. Host was very helpful, and the place is really nice. However there was one pretty serious minus - the bed. The mattress was uncomfortable, and its surface wasn't even, it had a depression in the middle. Apart from that, all was good. "
2011847,43339066,2015-08-18,40335131,Lee,"Although I never met the host while there, there place was nice and quaint. In a good area and easy enough to get to."
2011847,43792464,2015-08-22,2598037,Debbie,"Very safe and comfortable stay. Room was a little smaller than expected but not unbearably so.
Met other guests and owners going in and out each day, but never felt bothered.
Will probably stay here on my next trip to Austin."
2011847,44254653,2015-08-24,25771185,Kailin,Great experience! Host communicated well after booking was confirmed. Room was cozy and clean. Bed was also super comfy. 10/10 would stay again. 
2011847,45814784,2015-09-06,5101685,Vanessa,"Julia responded to all my emails super quickly, and always checked in to make sure I had everything I needed! Her home was lovely and very clean. Lots of space and nice amenities for a great price!"
2011847,46107023,2015-09-07,12581942,Diana,"Cute, quaint little neighborhood.  The room was really cute and cozy.  I didn't see or meet the host, which was totally fine with me!  Wish I had the chance to spend the night in the room - I ended up staying over at my friend's place!  Would totally use it again.  The bathroom, living room, and kitchen were very clean.  No weird smell.  "
2011847,46681035,2015-09-12,35792895,Marc,"Julia was very friendly,  the place was clean and in a great location. Definitely recommend "
2011847,46820968,2015-09-13,42988935,June,"We had a great experience with Julia and although we did not get to meet her in person, she was warm and accommodating to our needs. The room was clean and comfortable- would definitely stay again!"
2011847,48419115,2015-09-26,41955073,Jeff,"The location was walking distance to everything I needed to do in downtown Austin. House on a fairly quiet street with access to great restaurants. The house is neat and clean with a big kitchen, comfortable common area and a clean, bright shared bathroom. It was a treat to be able to use the keycode system and avoid having to pack around a physical key. Julia's team was really responsive to messages and helped me out really quickly when the front door code changed and I needed access. It was nice to know that they are watching security and periodically updating keycodes. All in all a great experience!"
2011847,48813354,2015-09-28,44615870,Mai,"Location is perfect.  Close to downtown and everything in Austin.  The check in was so easy as you get a code to the house and your room. Super simple. Julia is super fast at responding to your questions and/or concerns. Price is very reasonable and the place was clean. You couldn't beat that price and location,  you can seriously walk to downtown. I would go there again. The neighborhood looks like it's up and coming so wasn't worried at all."
2011847,49433486,2015-10-04,36244821,Lindsay,This was a great rental for Austin City Limits. The room and house was cleaned and offered everything that was needed for my stay. The key-less access with the door codes made it easy to get in and out without having to keep up with a key. Thanks so much!
2011847,49891755,2015-10-07,40485363,Yvette,Julia did a great job giving me all the information I needed to be able to check-in before my arrival. It was easy to come and go and not too far from the rest of the downtown area. The house was very clean and felt very welcoming. It was great to have an affordable place to stay and a comfortable bed to sleep on after several long days at a conference. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone else look for a place to stay in Austin.
2011847,50058944,2015-10-08,27234310,Corey,Clean room and easy walk to 6th St. 
2011847,50125123,2015-10-09,45312489,Victor,"Didn't get a chance to meet Julia, but she definitely has a great place. The bed was so comfortable, there were towels, brita in the fridge, and the code entry to both the house and room was very convenient. Also a very great location. I went to one of the spots she has suggested and I actually met and made friends with someone from my small town! Thank you, Julia!"
2011847,50221463,2015-10-10,33660257,Samy,"Everything has been perfectly smooth and organized. 
Thanks for having us !"
2011847,50680522,2015-10-13,11985322,Saeed,"The location of this house is great for driving around and it's very close for walking to downtown but we didn't try walking around due to heat.  The neighborhood is very quite with enough space for parking.
We didn't get to meet our hosts unfortunately.
What bummed us was the size of the room that barely took in our two small carry-ons and was definitely not enough for two people.

"
2011847,50921986,2015-10-16,39763000,Alea,Thanks for a comfortable stay! 
2011847,51770958,2015-10-24,45400357,Cyndi,Julia was quite nice and friendly.  The room was small but adequate.  There was plenty of room in the house and the place was clean.  We stayed longer than most probably (8 days) so we saw several guests come and go.  Everyone was friendly and considerate.   We needed a repair on the toilet while we were there and it was taken care of right away!  I would stay here again if we're in town and in need of a place. It is located near a scrap yard so there was a bit of noise in the morning and the walls are thin.  I was glad I was not there alone as I would not have felt comfortable walking to the downtown area alone.  
2011847,52042297,2015-10-26,36233027,Liam,"Julia and her team from Guesty were very helpful in answering my questions promptly and made my first Airbnb experience a breeze. Checkin is so easy with the keypad locks which means there is no need to co-ordinate arrival times to get keys. Room was perfect for what I needed which was a bed to rest at night and a clean bathroom to get ready in the morning.  Location was great for me as i needed to be close to the convention centre and was able to walk there within 10mins. I had to do this walk in the early hours of the morning, pre 6am, and while it was dark i never felt unsafe in the neighbourhood. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin."
2011847,52507969,2015-10-30,7430337,Ian,"Great place, peaceful, well organized.  They went above and beyond after I had a flight cancellation and had to stay for extra night on short notice... oh and there were free chocolate cupcakes :-)."
2011847,52624332,2015-10-31,33519864,Neil,"Had a great stay, would highly recommend it"
2011847,53062338,2015-11-04,35102124,Mitch,"A small room, but just big enough for me being by myself, if there were two people it would be tight to fit suitcases in. It is in a great spot, a short walk to 6th street. It's on the other side of the interstate and in a bit of a strange area which looks a bit sketchy, but nobody bothered me. Was great for what I needed, a bed close to the a to the action for a few days."
760677,3775608,2013-03-13,5202749,Robert,"Kind, clean and quiet. Those are the three works that come to mind that summarize our experience. Beth and Josh are really nice people and they even went the extra mile to get peanut butter and honey for my addiction. They are a very warm couple to say the least and would recommend them as hosts. I will check in with them the next time Im in town."
760677,9917061,2014-01-19,1787493,Lee,"Beth and Josh were warm, friendly, and very helpful.     The accommodations were what we expected, and we felt very comfortable in their home.     I sensed a serenity and wholesomeness in their home.    The neighborhood was quiet and the  location was perfect for us, which was just a short walk from our family whom we were visiting. We would certainly stay there again."
760677,10853737,2014-03-10,12029973,Nichelle,"Beth, Josh, and the ""girls""were the best hosts and made my first Airbnb experience very pleasant. They gave me great info on Austin and SXSW and how to get around and where to eat. Highly recommend going to Tarka! Their home was very warm and welcoming. It felt like I was staying with family, which was especially nice since I was traveling alone. I would definitely stay with Beth and Josh again and would recommend others to do the same!"
760677,10916213,2014-03-12,12815461,Sarah,"Great host, real friendly and feel right at home. "
760677,10987151,2014-03-16,11181121,Linda,"Beth and Josh were great hosts and their home is lovely and in a great location in south Austin. The bed was very comfortable, the room cozy and quiet, and the private bath very accessible and sparkling clean. Loved having some ""puppy time"" with their great dogs and they were very accommodating to our schedule and needs."
760677,20994681,2014-10-09,11427813,Richard,We truly enjoyed our stay. The space and level of hospitality are first-rate. We look forward to booking with Beth and Josh again.
760677,23014951,2014-11-20,11427813,Richard,Beth and Josh provided us  warm and comfortable accommodations. This is a very convenient location and we look forward to our next stay.
760677,28090103,2015-03-17,27842883,Calvin,"I enjoyed my weeklong stay at Beth and Josh's house. It is a nice two-story house in the quiet suburbs, one block from a neighborhood park. Food/groceries/coffee are all within a short drive.

Beth and Josh treated me like a friend, and we had some fun conversations about dancing, biking, and Austin in general. Their hospitality made me feel right at home. I liked the breakfast basket, which was filled with fresh fruit, instant oatmeal, peanut butter, and a few other treats. One time, they even offered me some steak, which of course I devoured in no time. Their kitchen is well-stocked with everything I needed to cook, and when I wanted to eat out, they showed me where the best restaurants were.

As a bonus, I became good friends with their two amazing dogs Lucy and Bama, who always kept me company when I was working from home. This was both the best thing ever (being alone no longer meant being lonely) and a huge distraction (they'll manipulate you with their cuteness to get you to play fetch with them). I'm actually not sure who I miss more, Beth/Josh or Lucy/Bama, but one thing is certain: I'll be happy to stay with them again."
760677,28227696,2015-03-20,28997879,Dustin,"Very nice and very clean room, comfy bed and lots of pillows. Quiet neighborhood perfect to get out of sxsw insanity. Great breakfast snacks and very friendly, hospitable and helpful hosts. Very sweet dogs too, wish I had more time for fetch. Would stay again without hesitation..."
760677,28362621,2015-03-22,29448332,Carlos,"Beth & Josh were super great. Clean home, wonderful dogs, Bama & Lucy, and great with suggestions on places to dine. Their home is cozy and comfortable. They were super flexible with our crazy schedule and were super accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much. "
5421714,50500621,2015-10-12,44200360,Ivey,"Amanda and Daniel provided a wonderful experience for us while staying in Austin for Austin city limits. They had a beautiful, clean and peaceful place for us to stay. They even left a welcome basket with tips and some treats. Definitely recommend their place if stopping in Austin. Thanks for the great hospitality. "
755576,3833422,2013-03-19,1803701,Dennis,"Wow! The second we walked into this house we were blown away. It was gigantic, clean, modern, high ceilings, hip... Everything the posting described and more. It was the perfect place to come home to and unwind after a hectic day working SXSW. 

Palak was very friendly and attentive and accommodating towards our expanding schedule. 

Great part of town, tucked away enough as to be able to ""get away"" from downtown, but close enough that you can walk to several bars and restaurants (Torchie's a personal favorite) and even walk downtown if you don't mind a small hike (being from NY we're used to it). Overall great place!"
755576,4161758,2013-04-15,3303478,Jonathon & Katherine,"There are so many positive things to say about this house.  It was comfortable for our large group, clean, and easily accessible to everything Austin has to offer.  We all said we would absolutely stay here again! "
755576,8811723,2013-11-19,7067486,Savan,8 of us comfortably stayed in the house. Great places to eat around there plus it's right off the highway. Would definitely go back again.
755576,21127114,2014-10-12,17652413,Helen,Palak was a really good host. He made everything clear and simple and was easy to contact. The pictures exactly described the place. It was clean and very open.  It was a good location for ACL. I would recommend Palak's place again. 
755576,28402980,2015-03-23,10653284,David,"Palak was a fantastic host! This was our second time staying at the house for SXSW and we could not be happier with our experience. The house is spacious, comfortable, and very well furnished. "
1046422,4765750,2013-05-24,6455932,Aj,"Fantastic stay at Vannak and Veronica's place this past week. The condo was clean and Vannak had even purchased fresh coffee and water for us to use. 

On the day we were supposed to leave, our flight was canceled and Vannak was able to allow us to stay another night and held the booking for us until we knew for sure we weren't able to get out of Austin.

Very easy to work with, and highly recommend the condo and would stay there again!

1046422,5228719,2013-06-19,4742560,Ashley,"Our stay with Vannak & Veronica (V2) was excellent! The condo is in an ideal downtown location - the heart of Austin is at your doorstep! The 2 bedroom/2 bath was beautiful, well furnished, and even larger than we expected. Board games, personal hygiene items, bottled water & fresh ground coffee made our arrival all the more welcoming. V2 were completely accessible and responded immediately any time I tried to contact them. Both their condo and ""customer service"" deserve 5 stars in my book! When I return to Austin, I will absolutely try to book with them 1st! (As should you!!!) Thanks for allowing my group to stay with you! "
1046422,6291980,2013-08-06,7779654,Frank,"This was my first time using Airbnb and I have to say it was incredible experience. Vannak and Veronica responded to every question I had almost immediately. When we arrived the had stocked the fridge with iced tea and water, they had left freshly ground coffee and lots of towels for our stay. The apartment itself was immaculate and the location was truly unbelievable, in the heart of downtown, 2 blocks from 6th street and 2 blocks from 2nd street and approx a 10 minute walk from rainey st.

I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin!!"
1046422,6983490,2013-09-02,7024962,Jim,The place was great and communication with V2 was great. I would certainly be happy to stay there again in the future!
1046422,7980311,2013-10-11,8157115,Jonathan,"V2 does a great job!  Incredibly responsive and informative.  The property is THE best for anything at Convention Center, but terrific for anything downtown.  Absolutely would stay again on next Austin trip."
1046422,8875087,2013-11-23,3418100,Alexi,"The apartment is extremely centrally located and has everything one may need (washing machine, microwave, dishwasher). Stayed here with my family for 4 nights and really enjoyed it - the parking does also come in handy if you'll have a car. Vannak was super responsive and a wonderful host. "
1046422,8936724,2013-11-26,7659041,Joanne,"I can't say enough great things about V2 as my wonderful hosts for this property. They went above and beyond expectations on all fronts providing fast responses and helpful information within seconds of all my requests. I stayed 5nights and unfortunately came down with a severe cold and V2 were not only caring of my needs through this experience but they also offered to go to CVS and get supplies, this is one of the sweetest and most thoughtful offers I've ever come across. 

The apartment was in great condition. Clean and tidy with everything you could ever need to feel comfortable and at home. The beds and linens are lovely and very comfortable. 

I would definitely stay with V2 again and I highly recommend them for your accommodation needs. Truly a wonderful example of why the airbnb service works so well for all. If you want a great location and experience in downtown Austin, this is the place for you! 

Thank you V2. I am truly appreciative. :)"
1046422,9014584,2013-12-02,7495372,Andrea,"LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!  This was our first time in Austin and we were looking for a central location to be our home base.  We found it here and so much more!  Even though we rented a car, we didn't need it for the local area.  We were able to walk to most places on our must see list from the condo.  The condo was great!  It was like a home away from home.  It was very cozy and clean.  The beds were really comfortable too!  There were 4 of us, so it was just enough room.  Vannak responded to questions promptly and was very professional.  They even left goodies in the fridge for us!  We will definitely stay here again and can't wait to come back:)"
1046422,9117602,2013-12-08,324284,Julie,You can't beat the location of this condo. The place was very clean and comfortable. The owners even left us a basket of treats and beverages in the fridge. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and/or stay here next time I visit Austin.
1046422,9538267,2014-01-02,1426561,Ivan,Amazing hosts who responding to all requests at super speed! The condo itself was straight forward and simple but amazingly close to downtown and 6th Street. I would return in a heartbeat!
1046422,9953065,2014-01-21,10346128,Michele,"Four of my girlfriends and I stayed here recently and we loved it! It was the perfect location if its your first time in Austin. The bus stops directly outside of the building so there is never a need to take a cab. The hosts left us water and snacks which we thought was very generous. It was a little noisy in the building when folks were coming to and from their condos, but regardless, this would definitely be my first choice when I return to Austin!"
1046422,10042536,2014-01-27,11096774,Luke,"As advertised.  Great location, nice condo, clean and comfortable.  Owners were very responsive and easy to deal with.  Highly recommend!"
1046422,10190596,2014-02-05,5086392,S&V,"We stayed at Vannak's place with another couple while we visited Austin for the weekend. The apartment is cute and right in the downtown. It definitely feels like a rental (and by the looks of things most of the other units are vacation rentals as well), but it suited our need just fine. Comfy couches and beds, everything was clean and worked just fine and Vannak gave clear and easy directions. "
1046422,12650716,2014-05-07,5008296,Brittany,"We had a great experience staying at this apartment for a girls weekend! The place is very well furnished and stocked with kitchen items and soap/shampoo. It was perfect for exploring the city, as it's central to downtown, the South Congress district (shopping/restaurants), the running trails by the river, 6th Street and Rainey Street. Vannak was a very responsive host, and provided us with local recommendations for restaurants. We had a group of three, so we had more than enough room, but the apartment could easily accommodate two couples.

Some of my recommendations that are walkable from the apartment:
-Moonshine Patio: just down East 4th toward Red River. We went here twice and loved it!
-Rainey Street: more chill then 6th street and had so many fun bars with great live music and huge patios.
-6th Street: lots of fun bars and happy hour spots. It's more of a college type scene.
-South Congress: Cross the bridge going south on Congress and eventually you'll hit this area after a 20 minute walk. We loved Guero's Taco Bar for their food and the beer garden next door.

If I came back to Austin, I'd definitely stay in this apartment again!"
1046422,14657268,2014-06-23,6195778,Ben,"Wow, Vannak was truly an incredible host.  This is how Airbnb is supposed to be done people!  Easy check-in is completely automated, and when we got there, the air conditioning was on and awaiting!  The place was incredibly clean, and large, great for 4 people.  The location, is also perfect, centrally located in downtown within walking distance of 6th street and the convention center.  Also, the neighborhood has a car2go parking station right down the street, so you can always hop in one and get anywhere in the city, including SoCo.

Perhaps the best part of the entire trip was Vannak, however.  He was extremely responsive via the Airbnb messaging system and text message.  He answered all my questions and gave us great recommendations for places to go and places to eat and places to drink!  Also, he had soy creamer and coffee ready for us, upon our special request, as well as some other snacks and beverages.  A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND A MUST IF YOU ARE IN AUSTIN."
1046422,16464559,2014-07-28,6321862,Adam,"We found ourselves looking for a place to stay with another couple for an extended weekend in Austin for a wedding. None of us could have asked for a better location nor a better host. 

Vannak was consistently responsive, with detailed information in his messages. Our check in to the apartment went smoothly and we were greeted with snacks and refreshments left by our host; it's the little details that make you feel like you're at home! 

Real estate is all about location, location, location, right? This apartment is the epitome of that statement. Centrally located between Sixth St., Rainey St., SoCo, and East Austin; we were never hungry, thirsty or bored. There are a myriad of restaurants, bars, and shops located right within walking distance. If you have a rental car (as we did) you're in luck as Vannak's place has private off street parking. 

We loved our weekend at Vannak's flat and would love to stay the next time we're in town!"
1046422,21277509,2014-10-14,16426467,Benjamin,"We returned to Austin for another ACL weekend and our stay at the Downtown 2/2 was great! The location is unbeatable and our hosts (V2!) were professional and helpful every step of the way. The unit has an excellent lay out and allows a group of 4 to be very comfortable. It is a quiet complex and we never had any issues. I work in hotels and travel and was impressed at the cleanliness and organization of this rental. Clear instructions and helpful advice were abundant. I also appreciated that the door had a SECOND dead-bolt that could only be locked/un-locked from inside the unit. You always wonder who else has the key (or code) but with a second dead bolt, any fear was immediately removed. I highly recommend this unit for any traveler to Austin! "
1046422,25742014,2015-01-25,3679388,Kerry,"I had an excellent stay here. Vannak was very quick to respond to all communication and the stay was really flawless. There was even some bottled water and wine in the refrigerator, as well as basic kitchen supplies. Great host and great spot -- would definitely stay here again."
1046422,26277546,2015-02-08,27025218,Taryn,"This apartment couldn't of been more perfect! The location is so central- no matter where you're headed to (South Congress, Rainey Street, 6th Street) getting there is a breeze from here. The owners couldn't of been more helpful or conscientious the entire stay. Thank you Vanessa & Vaneek for sharing your home with us!"
1046422,27112923,2015-02-25,27863341,Deb,The apartment was fabulous. It met all our expectations--clean and comfortable. And you really can't beat the downtown location with free parking.
1046422,32259939,2015-05-16,28153368,Chris,"Fantastic location and place.   Vannak is detailed-oriented and easy to communicate with.    Highly recommend this place.  You will be in the heart of the action.   If you want to be able to walk to everything, this is the place for you.   If peace and quiet is your goal, I'd look further out of the city. "
1046422,34206252,2015-06-06,30371762,Diana,"Our experience was more than expected, this was our first time renting an apartment over a hotel room and I just loved it!   Vannak and Veronica's instructions were very understandable and easy to follow, the area was very nice and secure, I love the apartment it was so cozy and very clean, everything work the area was perfect since we were in Ausitn for my sister's wedding, we were so close to where the rehearsal took place and of course to the venue for the wedding, we were so close to downtown, sixth street, main restaurants, the Capitol, I just loved it! I'll do it again!!! Thanks Vannak and Veronica everything was super !!!"
1046422,34546816,2015-06-09,11943323,Adaml,"Accurately listed, hosts were in touch throughout and the property was easy to find and check in to (keypad entry with codes so was nice not to have to deal with keys.)  Hosts dealt with the one issue we had very professionally and fairly.  Nice location, easy access to 6th and other appealing areas."
1046422,35291429,2015-06-17,29163585,Elizabeth,"This apartment was fantastic! There were four of us girls for a trip and we loved it! The location was great the ease of getting in the building was perfect and we loved having some space when we were getting ready in the morning/evening. The only thing you have to be concious of is the echo in the walkway to the apartment. Your group definitely should not be loud outside. Once in the apartment though the sound barriers are quite good.

Thanks so much for a great trip!"
1046422,38818543,2015-07-19,29009427,Sean,"Fantastic experience, in a great location.  Greeted by our host Vannak who graciously allowed us to check in early and offered suggestions for nearby entertainment and restaurants.  The unit was spotless and like new, everything was first rate, two spacious bedrooms and baths, nice efficient living room and kitchen area.  Two blocks from 6th St, and visitor center and new train line and taxi cabs are right outside the door.  Pool at sister building right across the street, a little small but functional.  Your own parking spot included and a short drive if needed to anywhere in Austin.  We visited with my wife,son and mother in law and had more than enough room.  Great location for a quick weekend get away or a week or longer stay.  Hope to be back again for a longer stay. Very impressed with thoughtful little things that our hosts provided from water, coffee and soda in fridge, to cleaning supplies with washer and dryer and games in living room.  Strongly reccommend"

The house has everything you need , it felt like we were home !
Spacious, clean with a touch of Austin bungalow style. The new kitchen is amazing with a big island and all accesories you could ever ask for.
Location is also prime, so close to downtown (5min drive), big central market few blocks over (the local whole foods ;p) and a great park on the next street (30 sec walk).
Great place for families."
8032556,50380028,2015-10-11,45321655,Lindsey,We had a very nice stay at Kurt's home. Kurt made it very easy for us to come and go when we wanted to. His house is in a very nice area and close to UT and downtown. 
8032556,51179506,2015-10-18,16153177,Charles,"Our experience from booking the house to departure from it was excellent. Kurt was friendly and provided all the pre-information we needed. The house was exactly as the photos showed, very nice and very comfortable. The neighborhood was quite and friendly. His visitor book with instructions, household operational details, and nearby business listings was quite helpful. The location was also great with a short drive to downtown. I would recommend it to anyone needing this much space."
8032556,52117506,2015-10-26,45763093,Serge,"The house was perfectly located, within 15 minutes of downtown and 30 minutes from the racing track (COTA). It was very clean and well appointed. The bedrooms are spacious. The host was very attentive, giving us all necessary information about the house, including address, directions and access, before we arrived. And, even during our stay he took the time to make sure that we had everything that we needed."
8032556,52527156,2015-10-30,46655728,Nick,The place worked out great.

4364828,44232669,2015-08-24,4218052,Mariette,"We loved our stay with Jonathan and Heather. The rental is very private and equipped with everything you need. The hosts went above and beyond; they even bought a nightlight when we asked for one! We stayed here with our 20-month-old and had plenty of space for the three of us. Bonus feature: HE washer and dryer.. much needed when you have a toddler with you! They are flexible and understanding. Great neighborhood, easy access to downtown and I-35. We would definitely stay again.  "
4364828,45451111,2015-09-02,4218052,Mariette,"Jonathan welcomed us back when it turned out our new home wasn't ready yet and let us stay longer when our AC had stopped working upon move-in. They keep to themselves but are there when you need them. Great hosts, awesome apartment. Highly recommended!"
4364828,46221630,2015-09-08,1567536,Cari,"Communication with Jonathan was a breeze and the place was very clean and exactly as described on airbnb. The location was also awesome, just minutes away from everywhere we wanted to go. The flexible check in and out time is a plus. Would definitely book again! :)"
4364828,48555132,2015-09-27,28476514,Axel,"Jonathan's place was perfect for my 1 week visit in Austin. Everything was well organized and equipped from the bathroom to the kitchen. And very comfortable and clean. The location is great, very quiet and very close to the airport or the downtown area. Jonathan was available by SMS at any time. If I look for a place for myself again this would be my first choice."
4364828,49560828,2015-10-04,43101288,Crystal,Great location and great little apartment.   Nicely furnished with nice kitchen and bathroom. Perfect for the weekend. Host was very flexible and helpful. 
4364828,49933745,2015-10-07,25431760,Jay,"Absolutely fantastic place and an amazingly gracious host! When Jonathan heard we were bringing our 9 month-old son, he provided a pack & play for us. We were very appreciative of him being so generous and accommodating with that.

The apartment really is like a nice hotel suite, complete with stocked kitchen. We enjoyed being able to cook breakfast each morning and having plenty of room to stretch out. It is very private and quiet. 

The location is nice - about 10-15 minutes to drive downtown or other attractions. We went to the ACL festival while in Austin, so the city was packed, and felt we got the best value in town by staying here! Would definitely stay here again."
4364828,50627635,2015-10-13,7747178,Jason,"Listing description was accurate, and even better than expected. Neighborhood was a more quiet part of town which is exactly what we wanted. Host was more than helpful with recommendations and accommodations; we took his advice for all the restaurant's he suggested and absolutely loved them."
4364828,51346451,2015-10-19,44212382,Nicole,"We really enjoyed our stay! It was veey nice and clean. The setup was perfect for our weekend in Austin, and Jonathan was a great host and gave us everything we needed. We took Uber everywhere and never had to wait more than 5 minutes for our ride. Highly recommend this place! "
4364828,52224790,2015-10-27,43121531,David,Jonathan place was very convenient since it's close to a lot of good restaurants and bars. Jonathan made getting in an out of the apt really easy and also provided us with fun activities close by. Overall an excellent experience.

6850781,50703549,2015-10-13,19307609,Caroline,"Brooke's Austin listing was absolutely perfect for us. It's was so cute, very very clean, and anything we needed in the kitchen was available and easy to find. I also have to say that the pull out couch was one of the most comfortable bed's I've slept in. We enjoyed the space, and the pool (which is always open and doesn't close at 10 like many other places). The location was also so on point and close to everything, a very very short walk to the heart of S. Congress where we ate and shopped during the day. It was also less than a 10 minute Uber ride to Zilker Park, 6th St, Rainy St, and a few east side bars we went to. Over all we feel like we couldn't have picked a more perfect place for our stay in Austin!"
6850781,52148086,2015-10-26,36164370,Jenna,"This was a great apartment! Had all of the essentials, towels, dishes, and comfortable places for lounging! Quiet neighborhood and super close to shopping, music, and food off Congress! We would definitely look to rent from Brooke again!"
4795682,40548687,2015-07-31,7291370,Jeanne,"Our experience with Kim was outstanding.  We requested a booking very late -- the afternoon of the day we would arrive.   Kim responded quickly and helpfully, despite the fact that she and her family were busily preparing for their own vacation. She greeted us with grace and cheer.  And the Treehouse, it is awesome!    The photos really don't do it justice....there is a genuine feeling of being up in the trees, and the little balcony just enhances the effect.   "

371539,10380082,2014-02-17,2169257,Fiona,"I stayed at Brad's house with 8 other friends during our stay in Austin for a conference, and his place made our stay so much more memorable! All of us were pleasantly surprised by how clean and spacious the house was, and how it was perfectly located at the heart of Austin.

The house is located literally two blocks away from the convention center (it only took 3 minutes to get there by walking!), so it was incredibly convenient to make a trip to and from the convention center. It's also a few blocks away from the 6th street, so all of us went out for drinks in the night and walked back home without having to hassle with cabs. Everyone loved how easy it was to navigate the city from the house.

The property itself was very clean, classy, and spacious. King beds came with very nice beddings, and sofa bed and air mattresses were comfy--nine of us didn't have to fight over beds at all :) Bathroom was separated from a toilet and sink, which was also convenient for us to schedule the shower in the morning. I asked people to share their thoughts, and here are a few of them:

Nick: ""Comfortable, spacious, and felt like home! And the location can't be beat.""

Sandra: ""Very clean with comfortable beds and a great location!""

Gregg: ""Easy to communicate with and very accommodating host. The location is top notch: close to everything, but quiet enough that you can sleep well.""

Above all, Brad was an amazing host, probably one of the most accommodating hosts I've ever met. We had to ask him for some changes in our reservation a few days before we got there, and he was being responsive to our requests and extremely flexible and understanding to our situation. Thanks to his hosting, we had so much fun in Austin without getting tired of the packed conference schedule. We'll definitely be back whenever we get a chance!"
371539,10682578,2014-03-03,11336284,Daniel,"The apartment was great.  There were five of us, all individuals, and we had plenty of room and a great time.  The space was clean and all set up upon arrival for a group to enjoy."
371539,10781980,2014-03-07,12154878,Katia,"Our group stayed at Brad's condo for 4 nights during SXSWedu. We found the place clean, comfortable, and incredibly convenient to the conference (and nearby bars and restaurants). Would definitely recommend!"
371539,10997503,2014-03-17,5243625,Jordan,"I booked Brad's place downtown for a company stay during SXSW.  Brad and his place were amazing. He was extremely communicative before our trip, and the condo had everything we could ever need. I highly recommend staying here -- especially if you're going to SXSW.  We couldn't have asked for a better host or place to stay! "
371539,11391799,2014-04-01,3579146,Sarah,Our girls getaway to Austin was a huge success. We were all extremely happy staying in Brad's condo. The location was ideal since we were able to walk to so much and didn't have to rent a car. We were able to get directly to the condo from the airport on a bus that only cost $1.50!!! The four of us each had our own bed and it was extremely comfortable. Brad was very helpful and communicated with us before and during our stay. I highly recommend this place for you trip to Austin!
371539,11735927,2014-04-14,11129863,Tim,Great apartment in a great location!  Apartment had plenty of space and was very clean. A group of 8 of us had a fun weekend in Austin and took advantage of the pool in the complex as well.
371539,16496456,2014-07-28,4914286,Abbot,"Brad was a great host. Gave me specific directions on how to get to the location and into the condo. The place was very clean. The place had alot of things such as towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, washer and dryer. They were even nice enough to make extra ice. High tech condo which includes a Nest!! 

Awesome location. 2 blocks from Dirty 6th street but couple more blocks from West 6th. All restaurants are close by. We fit 8 people easily especially cause there was inflatable beds. "
371539,18789799,2014-09-01,14253157,Jared,"The place was amazing, and Brad gave us great advice about how to get to the apartment, and was also very accommodating to the scheduling of all of the people staying there.  The apartment was in great condition, and had a very modern, stylistic feel to it.  The place has one shower, but an additional half bathroom so there are enough toilets and sinks. We really enjoyed the pool on the premises, and the balcony off the living room.  The location was also perfect.  Two blocks from sixth street, but also right near a few other districts close to downtown.  We also walked to SOCO and the University of Texas from the apartment in about 25 minutes.  I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Austin!"
371539,20759627,2014-10-05,20841968,Brian,"Great place and location!  Thanks for making our stay enjoyable.  We also liked the email that you sent us before the trip to outline the stay.  Austin is a great city and you have a great place to stay here!

"
371539,21132303,2014-10-12,6439861,Stephanie,"We had a great experience at Brad's place. He was very professional from the start - the directions/instructions to the place were very clear and organized. We had 8 people in total and were very comfortable, and there are plenty of airbeds. There are two bathrooms, and one shower.  The location was perfect and near all the bars/restaurants on 4th/6th St.  The apt is also quite nice and clean, with enough towels/amenities. We didn't use the pool, but having that in the complex is definitely a plus for the summer! All-in-all, perfect place for a downtown Austin experience!"
371539,21518564,2014-10-19,3937724,Brittany & Matt,"The listing description was more than accurate and the actual space exceeded my expectations based on pictures.  I was worried it would not be big enough but there was plenty of room to sleep a group of 8. In addition to the two bedrooms and loft upstairs, they even had 2 blow up mattresses available for use. A Clan of not so easy to please ladies were in town for a bachelorette party and they all loved the space. Plus the location is perfect for any Austin daytime/night time adventure. I live in Austin and can vouch for that! It was one of the main reasoning I chose it and I'm so glad I did. "
371539,22471962,2014-11-07,23076564,Tim,"Our stay was great.  We had an issue with the lock at first, but Brad called back almost immediately and we were able to get in.  The condo worked out great for the four of us.  The area was quieter than most places I've stayed in Austin.  The big hotels pick up more noise from 6th street.  We will definitely consider staying here again in the future."
371539,22519255,2014-11-09,18810105,Brittany,"This condo was the perfect place to stay for our group of 10 girls celebrating my bachelorette party! Before we arrive Brad sent us a detailed list of instructions that were super helpful as we had girls arriving at various times throughout the weekend. Getting into the apartment was easy and there was plenty of room for all of us. The location was perfect! It was walking distance to everything we wanted to do in Austin, 6th Street, Rainey Street, University of Texas, etc.! Would definitely recommend to any group visiting Austin!!"
371539,25567543,2015-01-19,25763563,Rhett,Had an excellent stay at this unit! Very clean and spacious. Right in the heart of the action. I will definitely look this unit up the next time I head to Austin. Thanks again for everything!
371539,25776201,2015-01-25,26027110,Emily,"This condo is amazing. Great location and more than enough room for the 7 of us to be comfortable. The condo was well stocked with towels, linens, and everything you'll need in the kitchen. You can walk to shopping, restaurants, and night life. The only drawback is that there is only one shower. Just be aware if that!  Brad was very responsive and was easy to work with when I had to book last minute! Overall, a great experience! "
371539,27507975,2015-03-06,12882284,Jen,"We stayed at Brad's for a work conference and loved having a clean, conveniently located home base for our team. We were so close to restaurants and bars, the Convention Center, and more; the proximity was totally worth it. Beyond that, the condo was beautifully finished and stocked for our stay with basic toiletries, towels, and even plastic baggies (super handy). Brad was extremely welcoming and the upgraded touches to the apartment -- from the Nest system to the keyless entry -- were great. We were able to juggle one shower (with endless hot water, as described!) with no problem and were VERY thankful to have had three bedrooms to share, rather than trying to split a loft. Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Austin! "
371539,27579225,2015-03-08,11579153,Ben,"We had a great time in Austin, and Brad's apartment was definitely a big part of that.  It was spacious, clean, and well supplied with all the necessities.  You definitely cannot beat the location (walking distance to all the must see destinations).  Brad was very responsive before the weekend and his introduction email was pretty much all inclusive.  

All in all we had a great weekend and Brad's apartment  gave us a great home base for all the fun Austin had to offer."
371539,28067361,2015-03-17,23120929,Aurthi,Brad was very accommodating and welcoming!
371539,28774516,2015-03-30,22457716,Sarah,"We stayed here for a bachelorette weekend, none of us had ever been to Austin before and the location was perfect - so easy to walk to everywhere we wanted to go. The place is really spacious and slept the 9 of us comfortably, the only downside would be only 1 shower in the condo.  Brad was really helpful and accommodating, would definitely recommend staying here. "
371539,29179021,2015-04-05,27243345,Sudip,"Overall, had a great experience staying here with a group of nine guys.  Having a single shower was not an issue, especially since there were two separate bathrooms.  Email welcoming us and providing us directions and tips were very helpful.  Place was clean and Brad was responsive to text messages regarding the property.  We liked the unit and property, and it's close proximity to the river and to 6th St."
371539,29725171,2015-04-12,25384835,Sara,"Brad was so accommodating, we had girls coming in from all over the US for a bachelorette party and he was able to get us in a little early so we could get situated.  The condo was amazing! Perfect for all of us to hang out and centralized to all the places we wanted to go to downtown and in SOCO.  Such a great trip! "
371539,30187363,2015-04-19,86463,Lauren,"This place was incredible!!! The space was perfect for our bachelorette and the location could not have been more ideal.  This was the first time everyone in our entire group had been to Austin and I am fairly certain, because of this experience, we will all be coming back again.  Brad was super responsive and helpful, especially when questions came up or when we needed guidance.  Also, we found that some of our favorite bars and restaurants of the weekend were ~5 minute walks away (in one case, our favorite bar was on the next block!).  This is definitely the place to stay if you want to experience Austin and if you have a larger group of 6+.  We were all very comfortable and everyone left happy.  Super awesome spot and highly recommend!!   "
371539,30665055,2015-04-26,26602714,Peter,"Great location near 6th street! Gated parking spot was awesome. Easy in and out. Plenty of room for all 9 of us. Kitchen was stocked with condiments and utensils. Great restaurants, liquor store nearby, and neighborhood in general. Perfect for our bachelor party of nine guys.

Would rent again for sure!"
371539,31077902,2015-05-01,18114235,Greg,"Brad's apartment was simply wonderful! We had a small group looking to spend the night in Austin, and it was great to start the trip by walking into an immaculately clean, beautifully furnished place. The parking spot was an added bonus, and you can't beat the location. Will definitely book again if I am in Austin with a group."
371539,31181871,2015-05-03,23044348,Kelly,"Brad did a great job of being accommodating. Having never been to Austin before, he was more than willing to answer any of my questions  and help me have the best experience possible. The house was extremely clean and described perfectly. It is a great location. Great walking distance to both 6th and congress. Overall great experience and happy this was my first airbnb experience!"
371539,31795968,2015-05-10,8709509,Michael,"We couldn't have been happier with our decision to rent from Brad. The condo is about as close to the perfect location as you can find in Austin. In addition, we had no problem sleeping 5 people comfortably. The condo is roomy, and it has everything you could want. The pool was a nice extra. When we had a question, Brad literally called us back in less than 60 seconds with an answer. I highly recommend the condo for location and comfort, as well as Brad for being a great host. "
371539,32335740,2015-05-17,29475011,Sean,"We really enjoyed staying here for our recent bachelor party of 8 guys in Austin.  It is in a perfect location that is walkable to all of the happening places downtown.  It is a clean, modern condo with very convenient access thanks to the key code doorlock.  

The only negatives were:
- This is an 8 person place, not 10.  There are 3 king beds and a pull out.  I do not have any idea where you sleep 2 more people.  
- A couple little things like no bathroom vent fans (a big problem with 8 dudes eating BBQ and drinking beer) and the TV not working very well.

Overall it was a great place to stay and I would definitely stay there again."
371539,32736324,2015-05-20,24666638,Chris,"Brad really saved the day for me with this stay. I found out at the end of my business day that I was going to have to extend my stay one more day. All of the nearby downtown hotels were booked up so I logged into AirBnB and found Brads listing. Brad was prompt in contacting me back and approved my stay with in 15 minutes. This was a life saver for me.  He was actually on the road and took the time to pull over to send me the check in information so that I could get into the condo ASAP. 

On to the condo, you really couldn't ask for a better location, especially for anyone working at or around the Frost Tower. I was able to get to the office by foot in a matter of minutes. Their are also plenty of restaurants and things to do right around the condo as well. It is simply a great location!

The condo itself is truly beautiful, and well decorated. I thought that it actually looked better in person than in the pictures which is a major plus. Not only does it have 3 bedrooms, but each one has a large and comfortable bed. Everything in this place was well thought out.  The check in process was as smooth as can be, with keypad entry door locks, and the code was personalized to something I could remember easily. 

All in all the stay although only one night was a great stay and far better than staying in the hotel that I had been in the night before.  I will definitely be looking for this listing for my next trip to Austin for work. Like I said, Brad saved the day by responding so quickly and you couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay in the heart of downtown Austin!

Thanks for a great experience Brad!
Chris"
371539,35739143,2015-06-21,35864368,Michael,"Had a great stay, perfect place if you're looking to do Austin for a weekend.  Checking in and getting to the condo was a breeze, and Brad was responsive with every question that we had.  Walkable to 6th street and all the downtown restaurants.  Certainly plenty of space if you're going to have 10 people, but price was still very reasonable even for just 8.  Would book again if I came back."
371539,36553848,2015-06-29,31368229,Keri-Lynn,Brad was a great host! He was very accommodating and easy to work with. The condo was soo nice and clean. It was in the perfect location to all the places we wanted to visit! We had a great stay in Austin and will definitely be back!
371539,40760425,2015-08-02,35631577,Akash,"The place was great!  Location and neighbors were way better than I could have imagined.  You are in the heart of downtown and can walk to any bars, restaurants, office buildings, etc within a few minutes. 

The descriptions and pictures given about the apartment are accurate.  The keypad and code is set up really nice and convenient for a group of people. We didn't have to rely on 1 or 2 pairs of keys for our entire group. Instead, everyone could come and go as they pleased.

Brad was also really quick to reply to any questions I had leading up to the rental time and during the rental time.

Overall, it was a great weekend and really nice place.  I will definitely look at this condo first when staying in Austin again. Thanks Brad!"
371539,44126136,2015-08-24,36416680,Christopher,"Just recently returned from a long weekend in Austin, and I must admit that staying here was the absolute right choice.  Brad was the consummate host and was always quick to reply to any questions we had.  He was even kind enough to send some local restaurant & bar recommendations our way.  
As for the condo, we could not have asked for a better location - super easy (and inexpensive) transportation both to and from the airport, and better yet, walking distance to everything downtown.  The place itself was great: very clean, well decorated, and stocked with everything we needed.  Recommend calling dibs on the loft as your sleeping quarters.  I would definitely recommend this place if you're planning to visit Austin.  I would 100% stay there again."
371539,46691891,2015-09-13,20364850,Daniel,"Brad set up a fantastic welcome email that was useful to me and my whole party. The place was clean and very impressive. We had more than enough space for our group of six and it could easily accommodate more. The location was perfect for going out and near all of our friends. Within walking distance of so many things, we could not have asked for a better experience. Any questions we had were answered very quickly and Brad was very gracious in allowing us a little wiggle room in our stay."
371539,48500336,2015-09-27,13578647,David,"Brad was an awesone host, his condo worked out great for my bachelor party of 9 guys!  He put together a great welcome email with all of the info to get in and around Austin, the place was super clean and nice, stocked with all the basics you could think of.  Location was perfect, easy walk to all the fun spots we hit downtown.  So much more to check out in Austin hoping to come back again and would absolutely stay here again! Thanks for everything Brad!

Dave"
371539,49421368,2015-10-04,32618247,Corie,"We absolutely loved our stay at this condo. The spacious apartment had plenty of room for our large group of 10, and every one of us slept comfortably. The place was clean and nicely decorated, and had the most perfect location - we walked most places we went for the weekend.

Brad had gone out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed, from shampoo and make up remover wipes to detergent and clean towels. He also provided very detailed information about staying on the property and getting around Austin, which was helpful and made us feel comfortable and well equipped for the weekend.

When we had a question about something minor that weekend, Brad got back to us within minutes so we were able to resolve our concern.

I highly recommend the property and would definitely stay there again on a return trip to Austin!"
371539,50540704,2015-10-12,42425522,Emmanuel,"If you're looking for the perfect place to stay, I highly recommend staying with Brad! Brad was an awesome host. My group of 8 really did enjoy the very clean and spacious condo. Brad made the overall stay extremely easy. Sent out a welcome email with all the vital info and was always a phone call away for any questions or concerns. Key-less entry to the complex and condo made it very convenient. Upon arrival we had everything we needed for the perfect weekend; stocked toiletries, towels, dishes, etc. The location of this place was ideal! 6th street and great restaurants we're literally walking distance. I'll definitely be back to stay at Brad's if I find myself in Austin!"
371539,51109645,2015-10-18,34217989,Pat,"My group and I had an incredible time at this Airbnb location! The place itself is very clean and is in a nice safe gated residence complex. The hosts were very welcoming and gave great instructions on how to get to the property and how to enter. 
The location of the residence is awesome.  It is right in the middle of most things you'd want and need to do while visiting Austin.  It is incredibly walk-able to many restaurants, bars and shopping areas of the city.   "
371539,51658547,2015-10-22,19112793,Matthew,Excellent location and place to stay.  Easy access to many restaraunts and places to go in Austin -- definitely would stay again!  
371539,51948615,2015-10-25,45463360,Samantha,We had such a great experience staying at this apartment. The location was perfect. The apartment was so much more than we expected. The apartment was decorated and fully furnished. They even included extra toiletries in the bathrooms. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Austin. 
904197,10899012,2014-03-12,7951869,Charlotte,Paula's eco-house is a truly unique place to stay and clearly a labour of love. It was a perfect home from home for our stay in Austin and we loved the vibe of the whole neighbourhood. Paula and her partner Eric went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were fantastic hosts. Highly recommend! 
904197,11015650,2014-03-17,1590413,Mary Beth,"I stayed at Paula's beautiful home while on a job at SxSW. Paula was a WONDERFUL host and very accommodating! She knew we were a big group so she offered to meet us at the airport so that half the group could ride with me to her home in my rental car while the other half rode with her---just so we didn't have to wait in the endless taxi line at the Austin airport. Her home was exactly as advertised: spacious, impeccably clean, and though situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood, it's still within walking distance of all happening places in town. I hope to stay at Paula's EVERY time I make it to Austin. Thank you, Paula!"
2142336,21696435,2014-10-21,22684637,Emily,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2142336,27725355,2015-03-10,5622676,Susan,"I enjoyed my stay at Austin Sidecar. Erica & her team were helpful, friendly and very responsive to my questions throughout my stay by phone & email.  The place was super clean and cozy. I needed a work desk, so the design of the place was perfect. A desk chair would have been a nice addition, but most people may not need that. 

The neighborhood was very quiet and I felt safe. I enjoyed walking to restaurants a couple blocks or so in either direction. The location overall is very hip south central & in good weather it is probably a close enough walk or bike ride to the SoCo shops. If you like biking, it is close enough to bike to Zilker or downtown.. around 2 miles.

If you have trouble sleeping with noise, then I do want to mention there is some appliance noise. It didn’t bother my sleep, however, it may be of interest to others when choosing a place. Since the place is an open studio, the refrigerator is loud. I turned it down some and put some ice bottles in it to help reduce the amount that it ran. The heater/air conditioner is also loud, but I think this style of unit is common in Austin.  So, outside the neighborhood is quite, but there is some noise inside.  Like I said, it was okay for me, but wanted noise sensitive people to know ahead of time. 

The driveway was convenient for having a car. There is a gate that you have to lock & unlock each time you come & go. Unless they changed the lock – it requires a firm yank to get it to open.  It does make the place feel secure, and most people probably won’t be coming & going as much as I did over my two week stay for work.

There is a washer/dryer & dishwasher, full kitchen, strong, hot shower, comfortable bed – all things that made South Austin Side Car a great choice for my two-week stay – and I certainly recommend it.
"
2142336,51630107,2015-10-22,39483848,John,This studio was cute and charming and in the perfect location. Great food trucks nearby and just a little hike away from the bustling south congress neighborhood. We had private secure parking. The room was appointed with most everything you could need.
5477417,44264120,2015-08-24,37153314,Belen,"The house was great! Really close from Lamar st and downtown. Max was always available when I tried to contact him. 

Really fun experience and I totally recommend this place."
5477417,49652347,2015-10-05,37071494,Chris,Max was extremely friendly and welcoming and his place was comfortable and convenient. It's very quiet and situated right off of South Lamar. The location was perfect and it was walking distance to great food and only a small bus or Lyft ride from downtown. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.
5477417,50628186,2015-10-13,30070080,Claire,"The place was adequate for what my friends and I needed for the weekend. It was a little expensive especially considering our presence was not appreciated by the downstairs neighbour. He visited us three times, twice mentioning the possibility of calling the cops. We were hardly there. Wouldn't suggest it for more than two people. There was also no warning about the sensitive neighbour until we had already arrived. Honestly not the best situation. "
1569557,51946477,2015-10-25,280426,Mel,"Dana and Stephen's place worked out extremely well for our stay in Austin. Great location with several places worth visiting within walking distance  and very short rides to most anywhere else. They thoughtfully included a list of their favorite places around the city, a bottle of wine and had left breakfast supplies in the fridge for us to enjoy with the delicious coffee. The space was cozy and comfortable and their 2 cats were very friendly and zero trouble. Had the weather been better during our stay, I'm sure we would have enjoyed their outdoor space and walked to even more destinations. Dana responded very promptly to any messages or questions I had and made our stay easy and worry-free. I would happily stay here on future visits to Austin."
8064122,50323793,2015-10-11,10811038,Matt,"We had a great time staying at Terra's house during ACL! Tons of space for our group of 5, and the house had lots of character. Terra was also very responsive throughout our stay and gave us some great tips for exploring the area. Would definitely recommend staying at Terra's place!"
8064122,51984177,2015-10-25,37912670,Drew,House met our needs and Terra was a great host. Gave a tour and plenty of information on the area. Also touched base numerous times w info in the house. I would recommend this home.
3231698,30254177,2015-04-19,6825297,Matt,"Being my first rental from AirBNB, this house was more than amazing and exceeded my expectations. Tasmin was very thorough and attentive to questions I had. "
3231698,30717001,2015-04-26,30502148,Sarah,"We had a relaxing and comfortable stay in Tasmin's home. It felt like a home away from from home, with all the basics you want (good coffee, nice towels, soft bed linens, good water pressure). In addition to these things, the whole place is tastefully decorated and the layout nice. Tasmin was easy to work with and responsive. We had a great time and would totally recommend this place to others. "
3231698,37221386,2015-07-05,28663876,Andrew,"Location was great not far from downtown at all. House had everything needed to accommodate our stay, and was very spacious. "
7689262,50642477,2015-10-13,2124814,Allison,"Jennifer's apartment was a fantastic place to stay while my boyfriend and I were in Austin for ACL. Jennifer's place was very clean and quiet and only a short ride to the downtown area. We didn't get to meet Jennifer, but she was in touch with us and made sure everything was going well. We enjoyed having the entire kitchen to prepare meals and caught a few football games while lounging in the comfy living room. We would definitely stay at Jennifer's place again next time we're in Austin!"
7689262,52273747,2015-10-27,20983852,Enrique,The apartment is spotless. The location is great. Jennifer was getting in touch with me to make sure everything was OK and was great fixing a minor problem we had at the beginning. I will definitely use her place next year. 
5406503,28094097,2015-03-17,1838769,Daniel,Host was incredibly accommodating .  The house was very clean and spare - It was a great stay.
7074824,37433994,2015-07-06,37435354,Isabelle,"Thanks a lot Christian !!! We really appreciated your help and welcome in this last minute booking. IN addition, we had a really good time in your apartment, which was perfect for the three of us and the location could not be better to see 4th of July fireworks ! You just forgot to mention the swimming pool in your add, but that was a great surprise !  Again, many thanks !"
5339864,28331766,2015-03-22,26934436,Matthew,"Paul was great! He was very accommodating and responsive to our large group. The house is wonderful-- plenty of space and comfort and nestled within a quiet neighborhood that's not too far from the action. The back patio, large living room, and proximity to an excellent shopping center were particularly appreciated. Would definitely stay again. "
4135953,28717513,2015-03-29,25846541,Clayton,Great place for the group we hosted for our wedding at Mayfield Park. Mellen and her house made things easy.
4135953,49597898,2015-10-05,13773909,Kellie,"Mellen made everything really easy for us.  Directions were straight forward and the house was very clean. We arrived and immediately were blown away by this gorgeous property.  The pics are great but don't begin to show the character of the place.  The neighborhood was very safe and central for our needs.  We felt right at home and would love to return.
"
4135953,50439593,2015-10-12,4515632,Nancy,A great house in a very nice neighborhood. Mellen was super responsive to all of our questions and made everything very easy. We all enjoyed our stay very much!

347572,2622005,2012-10-15,3751621,Matthew,"Doug and Savanna were great. They gave us the keys to the castle and then took off on a bike tour. Maybe next time we'll get to see more of them and hang out. The bungalow was great, too. If you're a bike nerd like me you'll love their place, as it is decorated with lots of cool bicycle parts. I totally felt at home there, as I'm sure any guests would. Thanks for the hospitality, Doug and Savanna. You'll be the first people to hear from me if I get a chance to come back to Austin. FunFun Fun Fest in a few weeks, perhaps?"
347572,3779095,2013-03-14,3638953,Edbury,"Doug and Savanna were awesome hosts - easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating, totally above and beyond the normal AirBnB experience.

If you're a cyclist or Americana nerd, you will love their place. The decor is an amazing mix of Texan aesthetic and DIY bike culture. They also have an incredible record collection and great backyard.

If you're staying during the winter, remember to flip the heater on. It'll keep the place plenty warm. Doug warned us, and we woke up chilly on the nights we ignored him!

The location might be a little off the beaten path for people who like to stay downtown, but it was perfect for an accessible SXSW stay - especially on bikes. (Far, far better than most of the available hotels.) Quiet at night, but only a quick jaunt from downtown. If you're staying over the weekend, head to Frontier Bar to get a waffle burger.

This is definitely my new place to stay in Austin! "
347572,3815859,2013-03-18,1573254,Morgan,"We had the best possible kind of experience at the bungalow. The place is comfortable, quirky and full of light. Doug and Savanna only stopped by to drop off local beer and explain the artwork. Highly recommend staying here and hanging out with Hondo.  "
347572,8086949,2013-10-15,8241537,Rachel And Drew,"Honestly, if you want to experience Austin for what it is, a funky and friendly city with an awesome vibe, stay at Doug and Savannah's! Their place is unique, comfortable, and relaxing! Its also in an interesting neighborhood, biking distance to everything you could ever need. I highly recommend both their place and them as hosts! I know we will be back if we ever visit Austin again which we hope to! "
347572,28164049,2015-03-19,5004898,Mike,"Doug and Savanna were fantastic hosts, very communicative and welcoming. 
Charming house in a great neighborhood. Easy to walk to a couple bars and restaurants, short drive (or medium-longish) to Downtown. "
347572,49683309,2015-10-05,11092241,Melisa,"Doug and Savanna's home is just as pictured: a comfortable, thoughtful space in a leafy East Austin neighborhood.  No A/C needed!  The bag of freshly roasted coffee beans on the counter made me feel welcome.   "
347572,50502561,2015-10-12,22733482,Ricardo,"I had a great time, the house was very cozy and so much fun. We communicated prior to my arrival so everything was set. It was a fun home and a great weekend.

6063670,39995731,2015-07-27,2830701,Avnish,"Great apartment. Plenty of space for three of us, very clean and had everything you could need. The location was perfect - walking distance to all the main areas you want to check out in downtown. 
We didn't interact much at all with the host Ryan, but that's because we didn't need to. And the guide he provided for the city was very comprehensive and helpful.
If I go back to Austin I would absolutely look to stay here again."
6063670,44684674,2015-08-28,22066202,Joseph,The house was really nice and in a great location in downtown Austin. Everything was welcoming and helpful and I'd definitely recommend staying here.

4901899,27593727,2015-03-08,1657867,Tarina,House was as described and was great for two people to have their own rooms. A quick walk to downtown and numerous other spots. Adam made checkin easy - communication before hand was quick and he answered all questions. Our artist staying there found it comfortable and felt like home.
4901899,28122071,2015-03-18,2108863,Heather,"Adam was an EXCELLENT host. His place is beautiful, stylish and clean and he even let us use his coffee - always necessary to start any day. The neighborhood is relaxed and there are some great parks nearby for a morning run - if I am ever in Austin again and Adam wants to rent out his home, I will be there. "
4901899,29740381,2015-04-12,28097467,Heidi,"My girlfriends and I really enjoyed our stay. Adam answered all of our questions ahead of time and was very friendly!

The location is good - it's just a short walk to all the food and fun on 6th.  Bob was very easy to communicate with and helpful with suggestions for exploring Austin.  We would definitely recommend this spot."
1732132,8416030,2013-10-29,9357367,Julianne,"This home is spacious, impeccably clean, well lit, and  stocked with supplies to make your stay comfortable. Ample seating and a very comfortable queen size bed.  A guide book was waiting for us on the coffee table with taxi numbers, food/ drink suggestions, map of downtown etc.  

The house sits on a private lot across from a school in a residential neighborhood in East Austin. It is walking distance to downtown. (Rainey st, South Congress, 6th Street) It is located right around the corner from a bus stop and is only a 15 minute cab ride from the airport.   
There are also local places to have breakfast, lunch, drinks, or shop only blocks from the house. 

Bobby was welcoming and full of southern hospitality, he lives next door and is accessible if you need something. 

I think Austin is an amazing city full of charm and hidden secrets. Can't wait to visit again. Very soon. "

I would definitely recommend the cottage to other travelers and especially to anyone looking to escape and enjoy Austin on their own terms. I can't wait to come back on my next trip!"
1732132,8708268,2013-11-12,7939306,Lee,"Really cute, comfortable home in a really vibrant area of the city. Walking distance to many food trucks, restaurants, bars, and live music.  The home is clean and has everything you need as a hub for exploring buzzing East Austin and downtown. Would definitely rent again."
1732132,9037771,2013-12-02,2940482,Joanna,"Exactly how the pictures look.  
Perfect place for a weekend in Austin.  
Safe neighborhood.
The cottage is older, but clean! 
Great communication by Bob.
Easy check in and check out.
Has a window unit for a/c and two heaters.  Can still take a little time to heat up, but you normally don't need to worry about that in Texas."
1732132,9254911,2013-12-16,6080122,Hillary,"Bobby's house was perfect for our Eastside weekend. Bobby is super cool, the setting is private and fenced. The house is awesome- great linens, way more space than I imagined. Fully equipped kitchen, comfy bed, lots of hot water, cool and comfortable furnishings. This is my go to spot for my next trip to Austin!!!"
1732132,9514002,2013-12-31,5993036,Avery,"Loved this little house, which was really more like a cabin, in East Austin! Would definitely stay here again. Robert was super great and accommodating.  The place was spotless and comfortable. Highly recommended."

1732132,10455347,2014-02-19,2006334,Josephine,"Bob was really accommodating. The bungalow was great and the location was ideal for getting to the river, east side bars and downtown."

1732132,10657912,2014-03-02,7705463,Shaun,We truly enjoyed our stay in both Austin and Bobby's cottage. It was very clean and suited our purpose- to eat breakfast every day in the accommodation. Bobby was a genial and knowledgeable host and close by for questions. We missed having a toaster but all the other appliances were used. It was unseasonably cold for the first 2 days of our visit and the heaters just could not heat enough. However that should not be a problem in good weather. 
1732132,10699283,2014-03-03,7594351,Ryan,"Bob is a great host.  The cottage was clean and everything as described.  Bob chatted with us a bit and gave us some tips for getting around.

It's an easy walk to 6th street where there are a lot of restaurants, food trucks, bars, and other sites to see.

Would definitely book again - a great Airbnb experience"
1732132,10900676,2014-03-12,10965603,Lyndsey,"My visit to Austin during SXSW could not have been easier and more comfortable thanks to Bob. From the moment I landed in Austin, he made it super simple to connect and get set up. He provided lots of helpful recommendations and checked in periodically to make sure everything was going smoothly. 

The house was perfect: clean, spacious, and quiet (which was ideal considering the chaos of the festival). Even the location was spot on, just a few minutes walk from the best East Austin bars and restaurants on East 6th St. Friends in town for the festival were pretty jealous! 

The next time I'm in Austin, I will deifinitely stay here again. Thanks, Bob!"
1732132,11002106,2014-03-17,3164294,Marisa,Cottage was convenient to Juan In A Million and Mr. Natural ( a health food store) which was convenient SXSW week. A 20 minute walk to the convention center which wasn't too bad. Robert was very helpful and responsive to any questions I had. 
1732132,11052846,2014-03-18,257329,Brittany,"Robert was quick to respond and an overall great host! I was only there for a night, but that didn't mean he skimped out on things. I still had my chips, salsa, and beer as promised! The space itself is cozy and a short walk from 6th Street. I was alone, but I felt safe at all times and the information Robert has about this city is worth the stay alone! I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Austin!"
1732132,11221759,2014-03-25,2237284,Joseph,"Robert is a good host, gave us beer, chips and salsa when we arrived.  The location is convenient to downtown.  The cottage is funky but clean, and we had all the towels and tourist information that we needed."
1732132,11274036,2014-03-27,1623439,Stephen,"This was a great experience.  The place is perfect, affordable, and conveniently located.  Also, Lone Star beer and chips an salsa waiting for me in the fridge.  Perfect.

My train left in the evening on my last day, and Robert was very kind to let me stay for a while past checkout so I didn't have to lug my thing around town.  

If you are in austin, you NEED to stay here."
1732132,11427165,2014-04-02,1653237,Eric,"This is a great place to stay in Austin.  It's clean and comfortable; Bob is a great host.  Also the location is perfect for great bars/restaurants.  Also, a quiet neighborhood.  One of our better airbnb experiences."

1732132,11700772,2014-04-12,13907684,Jorie,"Bobby was super friendly and informative about Austin. His house was super cute, functional, and in the perfect location He had collected information about the city that caused me to explore areas I wouldn't have otherwise. Great host!"
1732132,11834255,2014-04-16,6066500,Ryan,Robert was a fantastic host that really cared about ensuring we had a great time. We had a clean lodging with a well put together welcome guide and best of all there was beer and salsa in the fridge upon arrival. The cottage is really close to downtown and right in the middle of a up and coming area in East Austin with lots of cool bars and food trailers.
1732132,11909301,2014-04-18,14291281,Stephen,"Great experience.  The house was exactly as described, good location, clean.  Robert was helpful and accommodating.  "
1732132,12650280,2014-05-07,242462,Veronique,"Great little cottage to stay in! It was nice to have a place for myself. I was out most of the weekend, so didn't had time to really chat with Robert, but our exchanges went smoothly. I simply emailed the time I was going to be there and the place was ready when I arrived. It is situated to walking distance of a lot of cool restaurants and bars. It is in front of a community center and a park so you might hear a bit the children playing, but it never bothered me. Thanks again! "
1732132,12899587,2014-05-13,11300203,Danielle,Ryan and the Cottage were great! Check in and out were super easy and the place is very spacious.

1732132,13259481,2014-05-23,1985934,Colleen,"This was a great location- near all the good bars and food trucks on East 6th. It was easy to find, and very accessible to the rest of the city. It is a large cottage with a full kitchen. Unfortunately, the shower is tiny, but that is the only negative thing about the house.

The beer, chips, and salsa were great! There is also a very useful map and a bunch of guides to Austin. "
1732132,13353231,2014-05-26,5260894,Samuel,Great host & great location. Check in and out were super easy and the cottage is very spacious. Amazing location in a cool part of town and very close to a couple of pretty cool bars & live venues  + no problem getting around.

1732132,13975845,2014-06-09,9454201,Kevin,"Great little cottage on a property with two other buildings that Robert is renovating. Plenty of room, and it had everything I needed for a short business trip to Austin, including strong wifi. Love the neighborhood; close to everything without being in a noisy area. Robert was easy to contact, had loads of Austin info on hand, and made sure the A/C was on before I got there. The chips and salsa, beer and water in the fridge were lifesavers! Would stay here again."
1732132,14167266,2014-06-13,8239505,Bonnie,"Bobby was an excellent host! He was there to greet us and give us the lay of the land when we arrived. He had the cottage precooled for us as well and had beers with chips and salsa chilling in the fridge. He made himself available to us for any questions and the cottage was super cute and comfortable. The kitchen was great for reheating leftovers and the bed was clean and comfortable. It felt like a little home away from home. I was there with my mom for her birthday and I plan to definitely go back and stay again with my hubby. Also, Bobby is doing some fantastic renovations to his property and I can't wait to see it all done. Great property!  Great host! Highly recommend!"
1732132,14325369,2014-06-16,6123801,Aaron,"Robert was a fantastic host, was very friendly and was happy to hold on to my bags after I checked out. The cottage was great, the air conditioning was a great relief from the heat and there was a full coffee machine which was good in the morning.  Bed was very comfortable. 

The cottage is in a great neighbourhood in East Austin, there's a bus service to downtown a block away and daily tickets are just $2. Cab to and from the airport is about $20 plus tip. You can easily walk to the restaurants and bars on E 6th and if the weather suits, the walk to downtown is doable in about 30-40 mins. "
1732132,14452382,2014-06-19,16622899,Scott,"This cottage was exactly as described - conveniently located to downtown,  clean and well appointed.   The owner is an accommodating gentleman.   Would definitely stay here again."
1732132,14628005,2014-06-23,15866149,Sinae,"Robert was very hospitable and welcoming. He sat down with us and answered any questions we had about the places we planned on visiting in Austin. The bungalow is spacious, private, and safe with a large kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. It is confined in a gated property, with plenty of parking for our rental car. "
1732132,15789292,2014-07-15,11663736,Gregory,"Robert is awesome.  Extremely friendly and helpful.  Just like the ad says, there will was a six-pack of LoneStar, water, chips, and salsa ready to go in the fridge.  The cottage was perfect.  It's walking accessible to east 6th street, yet still far enough away that it's quiet.  The neighborhood was great.  In general, this was an awesome experience!"
1732132,16330595,2014-07-25,8448482,Agathe,"We went to Austin for a couple of days this summer with my sister, Robert was away so his sister welcomed us in the cottage, she was super nice, explained us everything we needed to know about Austin & the cottage and showed us a little listing about the things to do around the city. The cottage is really cool, very southern and clean as well as very well located. A very good place to stay if you want to visit Austin."
1732132,16947671,2014-08-04,5413312,Jonquil,"Bobby was a great host, the house was clean and welcoming and had been cooled down in time for our arrival which was much appreciated.  The neighborhood was quiet but steps away from really nice bars and excellent food trucks.  Highly recommended, thanks for having us."
1732132,18140124,2014-08-22,7905942,Donna,"Bobs apartment was good value for money and was a short distance from downtown.

It was clean and as advertised. The neighbourhood seemed safe and was a short distance, about a 5 minute drive to the river which there is a great running and bike path along the water.

Bob communicated well and was kind enough to have cold water, beer, salsa and corn chips waiting for us when we arrived.

We had a positive experience."
1732132,18821882,2014-09-01,3584700,Jennifer,"Fantastic communication from Robert and an excellent welcome. Good location if you want to check out the bars, food trucks and music of east Austin. Spacious and clean apartment."
1732132,18930019,2014-09-02,15028722,Amina,"Robert was a great host, sure enough there was chips, salsa, beer, water and most importantly WIFI.

I had never been to Austin but he has this binder that has everything you need to know about Austin. Where to go, what to eat, the public transportation system you name it. We were less that two miles from all the action of 6th street and Congress. The place has a security gate so we did not have to worry about parking the car on the street which was a huge plus. I highly recommend staying here it is for sure  worth the money and feels extremely more welcoming than a hotel."
1732132,19261328,2014-09-09,8902839,Tali,"We loved our stay in Bob's cottage - a spacious, clean, air-conditioned place situated a few minutes from East Austin's dive bars and lively food truck district. Bob is an impeccable host who gave us lots of advice, was always available for a chat and provided us with beer, chips and salsa upon arrival. I can't recommend this place enough and would happily return next time I'm in Austin!"
1732132,19439739,2014-09-12,17694101,Heather,"We really enjoyed staying here!  Bob was friendly and very accommodating for our late arrival.  The cottage was clean and in a quiet neighborhood.  Bob was readily available but respected our privacy.  There were beer and chips with salsa in the fridge, which was great after our long flight. Would definitely recommend staying here! "
1732132,19695390,2014-09-16,15927836,Dana,"Robert was a great host, the cottage was lovely and has a great kitchen! This location is super convenient, a short walk or bus ride to all kinds of food, cafes, bars, and shopping on the East side. If you've visiting Austin, stay here!"
1732132,19960575,2014-09-21,7497883,Aaron,"We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Austin. Robert was a gracious host who responded quickly to any requests we had. His property is secure, in a cool historic neighborhood, and conveniently located to all Austin has to offer."
1732132,20516252,2014-09-30,20872709,Kayla,"Bob was great! It was our first airbnb experience and we couldn't have asked for a better one. My flight arrived in the middle of the night, but he made arrangements for us that made checking-in a breeze. The house was perfeft and his recommendations were great as well! I'd definitely recommend Bob's place to anybody travelling to Austin. "
1732132,20668690,2014-10-03,6088178,Kate,"Loved this place. Robert made everything super easy, had great recommendations and was a very laid back host. Can't complain about the free beer and chips and salsa either. Really charming little bungalow. The pics don't do it justice. Perfect East Austin getaway. "
1732132,20982929,2014-10-08,8624768,Max,"Bob was great, I booked last minute and we was able to accommodate me very quickly. Location is also great, only about a 5 minute drive from downtown. Only stayed one night, but with a full kitchen, I could have seen myself staying a (website hidden), water, chips and salsa were in the fridge which was great. Nice place and good value."
1732132,21371184,2014-10-15,19918830,Tiffany,"This is the perfect place for a low maintenance traveler. Robert is a more traditional 'bed and breakfast' host in that he greets you at the door to give you the key and remains on site in another building on the property. You are granted complete privacy (the property is gated) with the added bonus of knowing your host is easy to access should you need anything. He is an attentive host and the house is super clean.

There are dishes, a coffee pot, a refrigerator and a gas stove/oven but no toaster or microwave. Toilet paper, paper towels, and bathroom towels are provided - just bring your own toiletries. 

The house isn't new construction so keep in mind that electric outlets are sparse and it isn't insulated though it is small enough to be cooled by the A/C unit in the living room and a (provided) space heater in the bedroom. There are extra blankets and the bedding is comfortable and warm. The trees on the property provide great shade and it was easy to stay in bed most of the cool mornings when I was there. 

It feels like staying in a cabin but in the city. With easy access to the convention center, downtown, and concert venues, I highly recommend staying here if you are coming to Austin for business or pleasure. "
1732132,22101640,2014-10-30,20841372,Stephan,"We stayed with Rob for 5 nights in Austin and he was the most amazing host we could have imagined. It started with a warm personal welcome, then of course the fridge filled with beer and chips and a very spacious cottage. You have your own kitchen, living room, shower and bedroom, it's just great. The location is great too, it's right in the heart of the ""cool"" Austin and also very close to Downtown.

Rob's a fantastic host, always happy to help and with great recommendations. We would definetely come back on our next visit!"
1732132,22864861,2014-11-16,23463691,Todd,"Robert is a great host, and we were pleasantly surprised how spacious the cottage is—living room, bedroom and kitchen. Great location, secure parking, affordably priced, and awesome East Austin hospitality. Charming."
1732132,22988209,2014-11-19,23004003,Andrew,"True to its online profile, Robert's cottage was clean, quiet, safe, secure, and there was cold beer in the fridge.  I especially appreciated the exceptional communication leading up to my stay.    Due to unforeseen travel delays, my check-in time was later than expected, but Robert made sure I had seamless access to the cottage upon my arrival.  Awesome.  Furthermore, the location and walkability of the neighborhood can't be beat.  Easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, galleries, bars, music venues...  Highly recommended!"
1732132,23227565,2014-11-25,23463691,Todd,"This is our second time to stay at Robert's cottage, and it felt like a nice homecoming. Clean, comfortable, hospitable, and it's always great seeing Robert. Thanks for being a great host!"
1732132,24289138,2014-12-24,7503283,Hector,"This place was great. Cozy, comfortable, private, and a great opportunity to know what East Austin living is really like. Bobby is also a super chill dude. Best part of all, there was Lonestar beers, chips, salsa, and water in the fridge. You can't get more Austin Texas than that. Mos def recommend.  "
1732132,24762569,2015-01-02,2948458,Jen,"We had a great time! Robert was a conscientious host and the place is close to downtown, South Congress, etc. It's a gated four-plex and a quiet street despite being close to so much. As Robert warned us, the house can get cold (since it was built in 1915?), but he left the heat on high and had extra blankets so we were comfy. We would definitely recommend it!"
1732132,25061034,2015-01-05,14907709,Matthew,Oh this experience was great! Austin was wet and COLD. To prep for our arrival Bob had the heater running full blast leaving the cottage nice and cozy during check-in. The cottage was clean and comfortable. Bob provided many resources for all things ATX and the space itself is in a super cool neighborhood. We walked to the Sunday farmer's market filled with local goodies while DJ's played Cumbias and Latin funk. We walked to AMAZING Texas BBQ. Awesome location! Next time we're in Austin I would absolutely try and stay here again.
1732132,25185472,2015-01-08,25465960,Selina,"Robert is a great host and the house is adorable. It is 100 years old, cosy, warm, with beautiful furniture, a very comfortable bed and located super centrally. There is a lot of material about Austin in the house and Robert knows many great places as well. We really enjoyed our stay and recommend this option to everyone. "
1732132,25321072,2015-01-12,1731730,Cristina,Had a wonderful stay in this East Austin cottage. I would highly recommend staying here. The neighborhood has a lot of character and the location is great. Very close to downtown. Cottage is gated and feels very safe and secure. Our host was wonderfully accommodating and kind. Look forward to coming back. 
1732132,25487642,2015-01-17,12252583,Marion,"We really liked this pretty cottage and also the neighbourhood very close to downtown. A special plus is the comfy bed and the little bench in front of the house. It surely can get cold inside the cottage, but thanks to the heater, the living room warms up once you close the doors. We highly appreciated beer, chips and salsa in the fridge and felt right at home."
1732132,25567104,2015-01-19,25742988,Sarah,"Such a great spot! Centrally located for everything we wanted to do and see, and Robert is super awesome. Would highly recommend! "
1732132,25625003,2015-01-20,10719918,Stephanie,We had a great stay at Robert's house. We liked the quaint and cozy feel and it was very spacious and clean. We booked on the same day we arrived and Robert was very responsive and accommodating. We would stay there again!
1732132,25893216,2015-01-28,2078216,Jeremy,"Robert's place was great. Tucked behind a private electronic gate, his grounds house a few separate properties. The little house I stayed in was rustic and minimalist yet cute and well designed. He communicated well and gave me some excellent neighborhood recommendations. "
1732132,26147981,2015-02-04,22812458,Kristy,Great location for downtown access. Really trendy west side 6th street restaurants close by. Robert  was always quickly available for questions.
1732132,26201701,2015-02-06,27098755,N.J.,"Nice safe complex. Robert is energetic and interesting, lives on property. Warm welcome. Cute 1915 cottage with off street parking. We ate nearby at Jacoby's. Delicious. Not really walking distance to most things so bike or car helps a lot. "
1732132,26440744,2015-02-12,1257152,Michael,"The listing description was very accurate.  While the house is somewhat old, it's super clean and tidy.  It's also very quiet.  I wanted to just arrive, crash and sleep until 10am - and was able to do that without any hassle. "
1732132,26534078,2015-02-15,12937767,A. Naomi,Bob was very hospitable. He left snacks and beer in the fridge and provided a directory of things to do in the area. He was readily available to greet us and answer questions. The cottage is very charming and is in a great location. 
1732132,26773585,2015-02-19,1400914,Per,"Robert er en venlig og imødekommende vært, som bor ved siden af det lille hus vi havde lejet. Han var meget vidende om bl.a. Europæisk politik og økonomi, og vi havde gode samtaler med ham."
1732132,27153814,2015-02-26,9743992,Don,"Easy communication, flexibility on arrival, comfortable bed, spare little house with a helpful host."
1732132,27646986,2015-03-09,175720,Wiebke,"We were happy to stay with Robert while in town for the Nonprofit Technology Conference. The conference center is within walking distance, and decent food options can be found on the way (esp. Cesar Chavez & 6th). 

The cottage is self-contained and quiet and provided us with much-needed refuge for our time. Thanks for having us, Robert! "
1732132,27739801,2015-03-10,1530424,Alex,"Rob was very communicative through messaging in advance, and was there to greet me. We talked about Austin and SXSW for a bit. Good guy.

The house was old and creaky, but everything (heat, internet, shower) etc was fine. It's not the kind of house I'd like to spend much time in though. "
1732132,28075307,2015-03-17,23385127,William,"Host was very accommodating! Chips, salsa and water in the fridge upon arrival especially welcome. Cottage was a pleasant 20-minute walk from downtown, with plenty of food options nearby. If you're looking to stay in style, this probably isn't it (although host says a renovation is coming) but for a 1915 home it's well-kept and a good homebase for a weekend in Austin."
1732132,28785536,2015-03-30,5329679,Sarah,"Bob was very friendly before and during our stay.  He was very welcoming, and the beer, chips and salsa was a nice touch!  The cottage is a little rustic, and the bathroom small, but the cottage is clean, the location is great, the area safe (and lots to do within walking distance), and convenient gated parking.  "
1732132,28953908,2015-04-01,24804917,Paul,"Convenient location in an the up-and-coming area of East Austin.  Super easy to Lyft/cycle/bus/drive to downtown.  

Robert was extremely personable while still respecting privacy.  He's currently building a second property on the lot, so I suspect there will be other options in this location soon.

""Cottage"" and ""private"" are accurate descriptors.  The bathroom is very small,  and although I was somewhat dubious of the toilet (especially given no plunger) the shower was legit.

Don't get too trashed during your night out on the town, because the over 100 year old floors have some unexpected slants and pitches.

The bed was super comfortable.

Worth the price during Austin's busier times when lodging can be pricey,  but perhaps a tad overpriced for value midweek.  A perfect crash pad for a couple days."
1732132,29113276,2015-04-04,7040984,Darby,"Robert made us feel very at home at the cottage.  He gave us suggestions about places to check out nearby, and we ended up at a great bar/restaurant that we really enjoyed!  The cottage itself is in a great spot walking distance to many bars and restaurants.   It's a funky space but it has everything we needed!  We enjoyed our stay!"
1732132,29649091,2015-04-10,30768459,Hilliard,"Accurate listing.  Host was welcoming and prompt with communication.  Convenient, reasonable, clean, and quiet.  All I needed for a place to lay my head.
FYI: You have your own private cottage; there is another guest cottage onsite.
Only downside relative to my expectations regards the climate control - it was humid weather, and the A/C unit inside was not able to keep the entire house comfortable (got a little muggy inside the house)."
1732132,29854366,2015-04-13,10991132,Chantil,"Charming private cottage in the heart Austin! This is a super convenient location, comes with a great kitchen. Clean bed linens, towels and bathroom. Thanks for hosting us!
"
1732132,30301659,2015-04-20,12175107,Nicole,We loved staying at Bob's! He was so nice and had lots of tips for what to see and do. The cottage was spacious and clean and in a great location for lots of great spots in Austin. 
1732132,30434453,2015-04-21,1810618,Adam,Great communication and very helpful. 
1732132,30866206,2015-04-28,22333640,Jean,"Robert was very prompt and great to talk to. His property was quiet and peaceful. The house was old but served our needs just fine. The neighborhood felt safe and was close to the bus to get downtown. Overall, fun experience! "
1732132,31737441,2015-05-09,4755234,Jennifer,"My boyfriend and I arrived separately for Austin Psychfest and since we are camping for the weekend, we really just needed a place to crash for one night. This place was perfect for that. Everything was clean and looked exactly like the pictures.  There was also a binder full of maps of Austin and Robert's recommendations of places to eat, shop and drink. We will definitely be back on our next trip; also in a very convenient location, as it's close to downtown. "
1732132,31873589,2015-05-11,26385100,Gemmamarie,"Cool location, super safe with enclosed parking and automatic gate. 40 minute walk or 10 minute drive into the city but within walking distance of LOTS of cool bars/restaurants etc. 

We didn't mind it but one or two streets around seemed a little dodgy (we had no trouble but it's not a tourist neighbourhood.)

House itself is nice and comfortable; but older so the occasional bug should be expected (again, no big deal.)
"
1732132,32615081,2015-05-19,16059842,Viri,I had a great stay here. Easy to find and close to everything we needed. Older home but had everything we needed. Really liked the closed gate for privacy.
1732132,32911867,2015-05-23,1752509,Hunter,"Bob was easy communicate with, and the place was great. Great location, and the little cottage was bigger than I expected, particularly the kitchen. A beautiful garden on the property right next to the cottage. Would definitely stay there again. "
1732132,33253406,2015-05-26,18363439,Anca,"The location is amazing! It's 0.5 miles from 6th st with many restaurants and bars within 10 minute walk. The place is an actual 1 bdr house with a fairly large living room and a separate full kitchen. It could easily fit 4 ppl.  The house is an historic Austin home which has not been fully remodeled so you can definitely see the character of an almost 100 yr old home.  The only thing that i found bizarre was that i was not been given any arrival instructions and i had to call the host to figure out how to get in the yard and obtain the house keys. I usually prefer less contact, if possible. But that's just a personal preference.  "
1732132,33420495,2015-05-27,8310315,Melissa,"Great property, great location! Bob was very welcoming and accommodated a last minute, same day booking. We got stuck with bad weather so there were tons of mosquitos and water, but that's Texas for ya. Charming place with history. Felt very safe. Plenty of room in the apartment and for parking. "
1732132,33931581,2015-06-02,32638841,Kate,"Wonderful place and really great guy! He made us feel at home right from the start. Thanks for the good conversations and great local recommendations. The location was perfect, close to downtown and the emerging East Austin neighborhood is right at your doorstep. We cant wait to visit Bob's place again, especially to see how is amazing homestead garden is doing, which is also a major perk of his place. Hope you enjoyed those beers! "
1732132,34554452,2015-06-09,1357827,Lucie,"Perfect spot for staying in Austin. Secure, secluded, clean, and in a quiet neighborhood. Located right across from a park, with easy access to all the sights in Austin. Bob was very accommodating. All the amenities were just what we needed. Comfy bed, and living area with lots of local info. Air conditioner kept the entire place cool during our stay. Lone Star in the fridge. "
1732132,35244623,2015-06-16,33052485,James,"We had a fantastic stay with Bob.  The place offers functional simplicity with a rustic charm.  Bob was a most excellent host.  He was warm, welcoming, attentive and available throughout our stay.  

The house was a stand alone carriage type house which was close to everything.  It also offered secure, gated parking, which made me feel better about the insurance I forwent on the rental car.

We would definitely go back.  Thanks!"
1732132,35529002,2015-06-19,5588317,Joe,Great place! Super friendly host. Thank you!
1732132,35899211,2015-06-22,20316643,Zachary,Robert could not have been more welcoming. This is my second time staying with him and he was very accommodating to my last-minute request and I was very comfortable the whole time.
1732132,36312388,2015-06-27,35254383,Lindsey,"Bob was a great host who greeted us outside our cottage the second we pulled up. He made great suggestions and was available if we needed anything! The cottage itself was very spacious, clean, and safe. Was exactly what we needed! "
1732132,36590133,2015-06-29,15149375,Alexandra,"Within walking distance to a lot of great bars, food trucks, etc. This is an old cottage, and there aren't a lot of frills, but there is beer/bottled water in the fridge and the location is great."
1732132,37499267,2015-07-07,24831405,Cara,"What a great place to stay for the weekend! We were in town for Willie Nelson's 4th of July Picnic and had an amazing time. We stayed here for three nights and it was perfect for us. I personally loved that there was no TV. It was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and it was great to have private parking. The neighborhood around the place is changing and there are projects, but I felt very safe at all times. Thanks so much Robert! Had an amazing time. Would definitely stay here again. "
1732132,38205396,2015-07-13,8879756,Kheira,"We had a great time at the cottage. It's clean, the bed is comfy and the location is great. Bob is nice and easy to get a hold of. We'll be back! "
1732132,39219214,2015-07-21,8761544,Ali,"Robert was great.  Great location if you love East of 35 Bars.  Easy cab ride to downtown or bike ride to Zilker, Lady Bird, etc.  "
1732132,40045039,2015-07-27,39190614,Megan,Stayed in this charming cottage this past weekend. Very clean and comfortable space. Bob was welcoming and accommodating. He helped us navigate the city a bit and gave us some great conversation! 
1732132,40986083,2015-08-03,12303404,Senthil,"Rob was very friendly and the place was exactly what I needed for the weekend. Very close to downtown. If you are planning to go to Austin just to spend your weekend in Austin downtown,this is the ideal place to stay. The place is clean, comfy and spacious. "
1732132,42263071,2015-08-12,14564930,Beth,very clean and comfortable.Conveniently located!
1732132,42980677,2015-08-16,18649264,Amanda,"First off, Robert was a great host. He was quick to communicate through AirBNB messenger to answer any questions I had and was there to welcome us to his home. There is gated parking and it is in a quiet neighborhood right in East Austin. The only thing that was tough is that there is only 1 window AC unit in the living room which made it very warm in the heart of Texas summer when sleeping. Nothing on Robert, just would have planned ahead and brought a fan from home. Loved the Lonestars and water bottles in the fridge! "
1732132,43883024,2015-08-22,3912587,Dustin,Robert's cottage was super clean and roomy. The location is close to all of east sixth street and not far from downtown Austin. Robert was very hospitable and provided everything I needed. Definitely recommend!
1732132,44180320,2015-08-24,39965641,Ernest,Clean. Spacious. Perfect location with gated driveway. Excellent host. And the fridge comes stocked. Can't beat it!
1732132,45131751,2015-08-31,40276357,Stephanie,"Bob is welcoming and helpful.  He knows the best of Austin, and gave us some terrific recommendations.  The cottage is well located and a comfortable, quiet home base. An Austin bike share station (B-Cycle) is one block away, and we found it the perfect way to explore the city.
It all made for a wonderful first Airbnb experience!"
1732132,46127789,2015-09-08,16613547,Ariel,"Robert was such an amazing host! His place was perfect and had everything we needed. He even had a book full of information on local places to eat, things to do, etc. The best part about the place was its location. It is close to everything and seriously in the hippest neighborhood in East Austin. I felt safe all the time in the neighborhood. It was a couple of blocks from a city bike station and we biked everywhere while there. Robert was very accomodating and I would recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin! Thank you Robert!"
1732132,46739380,2015-09-13,23875628,Padraic,"I had a perfect experience staying in Bob’s place in East Austin. The house was very spacious and clean, the bed is super comfortable and the air conditioning kept the place at a mercifully cool temperature in the summer heat. Location-wise East Austin where Bob’s place is an amazing location – there’s a lot of public art, its where the cool bars and the best food vans and restaurants are and you’re still in easy walking distance from town – or very close to the metro which is one stop from the city. Overall the neighbourhood has a nicer community feel to it than staying in the centre of town, which was a bit more touristy. 

There’s so much to do in Austin generally, make sure you spend at least 4 or 5 days to really enjoy and experience the city if you can.  Bob has a lot of information about Austin in the house for guests which was really helpful to plan what to do, including a list of the best places to eat and drink in town. Bob’s food recommendations are particularly excellent, so make sure you make your way through his list. 

Thanks a lot Bob for having me and making sure I had a great time in Austin.  
"
1732132,47198250,2015-09-16,5684885,Tyler,"Robert's place in East Austin is great. Really great location, lots of good food and bars around and an easy walk to downtown. The place was clean, cozy, and just as pictured.  Robert was a great host and even though we arrived early, he let us drop off our bags and when we returned the place was organized and ready for our arrival. Would stay again. Thanks Robert! "
1732132,47517956,2015-09-19,29598099,Alex,Bob was really nice and helpful! He was very quick to respond if anything came up. Location was close to downtown and a lot of great food spots!
1732132,47960458,2015-09-22,30295545,Amanda,This was our first time using Air bnb so I had no idea what to expect! I booked it on a whim for a surprise trip for my fiancé. I can't tell you how great our experience was! Roberts sister let us in a little earlier than our check in time since we had large suitcases we didn't want to carry around town. He was attentive throughout our time there to make sure we had everything we need. Description is completely accurate and the bike share on the next block makes it easy to get around. Robert and his cottage were the perfect fit for our weekend getaway!!
1732132,48396504,2015-09-26,40143333,Nathaniel,"Bob was a welcoming host and has a well appointed 1 bedroom cottage in the heart of East Austin. You can walk to all of the fun spots and it's close to downtown Austin as well as the freeway. It was a great value for the money. The cold bottled water and Lone Star beers in the fridge are a nice touch; especially after a hot day in Austin or the Hill Country. This is a great space for young-ish, adventuresome solo travelers and couples. If you are the high expectations B&B type traveler it might not meet your needs. "
1732132,49189668,2015-10-01,9528230,Zoe,"Great location close to some really cool bars and an easy walk into central Austin.
Bob was a great host and the cottage is really unique and quirky which we loved.
"
1732132,49602315,2015-10-05,38504433,Rhodri,Excellent cottage with easy access to downtown area. Bob was a great host would recommend. Thanks!
1732132,50018617,2015-10-08,2287610,Claire,"Bob was an excellent host and his cottage was the perfect affordable and low-key place for my 3-day trip to Austin!! It is exactly as described. Bob was very prompt in all communications and made the check-in and check-out a breeze. 

The neighborhood is nothing fancy but there are tons of tasty restaurants/cafes and hip bars a short walk away. I love walking so had no problem walking all the way to downtown for the conference I was attending. I could have very easily hopped on the nearby bus line if needed though."
1732132,50747332,2015-10-14,36431402,Emma,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Bob's cottage. He was very easy to communicate with, responded to my messages immediately, and was really friendly. The place was very clean and bigger than it looked in the photos. I loved the neighborhood and we were walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and food trucks. His property also felt very safe. He had a binder on the coffee table with recommendations for nearby bars and restaurants and lots of info on things to do in Austin. It was easy to get downtown with either Uber, Car2go, or even walking. The air conditioner kept his place nice and cool in the Texas heat and the wifi worked perfectly. Thanks for a great stay in Austin, Bob!"
1732132,51141843,2015-10-18,11979474,Theresa,Bob was a great host! He was waiting out front when I got there and was friendly and helpful throughout the stay. Place was great--very charming. Convenient location--could walk to many bars and restaurants. 
1732132,51672345,2015-10-22,13359361,Mark,"Robert, what a great location you have. I enjoyed our conversations. Thank you for your help locating places we needed to go. I appreciate your telling us that your cottage was ""rustic"". I wish you well in all of the excellent repairs you have planned.

We had a good night's rest and felt very safe throughout our stay.

Best wishes,
Mark and Monika"
1732132,51866199,2015-10-24,45480835,Maribeth,I had such a great stay! The cottage was cozy and extremely close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again! 
1732132,53048945,2015-11-04,5424914,Karolina,"The cottage is a fitting abode from which to explore the weird and wonderful east side of Austin. The house is bigger than the photos suggest and there are the basic comforts one expects - the bed, ac, wifi, kitchen etc. don't expect luxury but at that price you wouldn't anyhow. Within an easy walking distance there are countless bars, eateries and more. Rob was helpful and friendly. "
1499714,7003105,2013-09-02,1634408,Kelly,"This was exact what we were looking for! Terrific location - we were walking distance to most of the things we wanted to be walking distance to and we had no trouble parking when we did have to drive. 

It had been really nicely updated inside and the bed was very comfortable. 

I do wish that there was another towel rack in the bathroom as well as a place to put my toiletries. 

I would definitely stay here again!"
1499714,7081853,2013-09-05,3832131,Brian,"Cenote Studio is just a few blocks from downtown and near many East Austin destinations.  It was nice just being a few steps away from Cenote Cafe which has a really nice outdoor atmosphere  (as long as it is not hotter than hell).  The inside was newly remodeled, it was cool inside and it definitely was not outside.  The apartment was stocked with plenty of clean linens and towels.  My only deduction is for overall cleanliness-the floors and countertops were not as clean as I like."
1499714,7514625,2013-09-23,4510594,Jean,We enjoyed the Cenote Studio. Pictures and description were accurate. The location is great for walking to many places - 6th st. and other restaurants and the neighborhood is interesting. My favorite meal of the trip was from the food trucks nearby. We really enjoyed breakfast at the Cenote Cafe. I would stay there again!  Thanks for everything!  
1499714,7718351,2013-09-30,8880987,Colleen,"My daughter & I stayed at Cody's place at the end of September.  It was clean and convenient.  It is located right behind their awesome cafe, Cenote.  Cenote had a great vibe & many great choices for food, beverages & fun.  We would definitely stay here again.  Thanks for the great visit."
1499714,7893569,2013-10-07,8961074,Jeremy,"Cody, Cenote, and Austin were the best. Location is perfect. "
1499714,8010892,2013-10-12,1466977,Olivier,"Cenote is a great place in the best part of Austin as it is closed to everything including the best bars/restaurants/publs/clubs in town.
We love to have that studio which is neat and comfy, just a few steps from the Cenote café where the beers and Mocha are just fantastic.
"
1499714,8122574,2013-10-16,6104853,Nikki,"We loved our stay at the Cenote Studio. Cody was quick and responsive with any questions we had and accommodated us a few hours before check in. The studio is located in a fun neighborhood right behind the Cenote coffee shop, we stopped in several times for drinks and treats. You MUST go there if you stay at the studio, can you say 3 dollar mimosa? Yes, you can. The studio is walking and driving distance to downtown, Congress Street, Whole Foods, Alamo Drafthouse and more. 

The studio was open, had great light, open spaces, DirectTV, strong WiFi, a super comfortable bed and pull out couch bed. This owner understands the important of good pillows and linens! The kitchenette was perfect for our needs, though could have used a few gadgets (wine opener!). 

We would HIGHLY recommend staying at the Cenote Studio! Thanks Cody and ATX for a great stay!"
1499714,8296618,2013-10-24,307687,Pete,"Cody's studio was perfect for me - clean, comfortable, quiet and close to everything. Downtown is withing easy walking distance,  there are plenty of bars/restaurants nearby, and Cenote cafe is top-notch!

Although I didn't get to meet Cody, he was friendly, helpful and made everything super-easy."
1499714,8716137,2013-11-13,9149286,Carolyn,"Great location and coffee. Would definitely come back, and recommend this place to friends passing through town."
1499714,8773701,2013-11-17,9835689,Simon,"I really like the place.  Great location, close to downtown and easily walkable.  Adjacent to a fantastic cafe (the coffee was very good).  The room was a good space, clean and smart.  A very positive experience."
1499714,8813529,2013-11-19,8467979,Ross,Stayed in this property for 2 nights while watching the Grand Prix and it was excellent. The apartment is very comfortable and clean and it was only a 10/15 minute walk to downtown. The Cenote Bar next to the apartment is a nice place to have a drink and something to eat.
1499714,8945172,2013-11-27,4413872,Dave,"The studio is lovely. A great location and the cafe below does a tasty bite + coffee too. 

The AirBnB machine made a hash of our booking and Cody was super helpful about sorting it all out. "
1499714,9047929,2013-12-02,8041837,Stanislavs,"Cody was a great host, accepting the reservation at a short notice and being very accommodating with the sleeping arrangements. The flat is spacious and clean and is situated perfectly to explore Austin. Thank you for having us over!"
1499714,9183800,2013-12-11,6093833,Daren,"This place is a real gem. Clean, comfortable, and in a great location, next to Cenote. I'll definitely be looking to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
1499714,9253547,2013-12-16,183264,Tomas,"The studio was great. It's exactly as pictured and very comfortable. Plus, everything you'll want to do or see is either within walking distance or a short drive."
1499714,9415253,2013-12-27,10672693,Rachael,"My parents stayed in the Cenote studio for several days while visiting me. They loved the great location of the studio, and Cody was an excellent communicator before and during the stay. My parents mentioned how loud street noise and neighbor noise was, which is definitely typical of the neighborhood. Cenote is a great cafe, and they loved being right next door to great coffee and food. "
1499714,9663226,2014-01-04,10138708,Dani,"Great location, right next to all of the cool stuff that's downtown! Perfect, cozy size for just two. Has all of the amenities that you could want, even for those nights that you just want to relax and stay in."
1499714,10081765,2014-01-29,4957607,Jennifer,"We had amazing stay! The apartment is the perfect size, nice big bathroom, huge tv and probably the most comfortable bed and bedding I've ever had away from home. Cody was super kind and helpful and any question we had he answered by text right away. We happened to stay the one weekend it snowed in austin and Cody was quick to bring us extra blankets and an extra heater. 

The cafe right downstairs was the best. We had breakfast there every day the week we were there. Awesome food and great staff. 

We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anybody! "
1499714,10462135,2014-02-20,9717870,Tessa,Wonderful space in a great location. We started off every morning with breakfast at the Cenote Cafe and then headed out to explore the city by foot. We were there 8 nights and never regretted not renting a car because you can walk to everything. Used the kitchen for a few light meals to save money. Being able to do laundry was also a plus. We ended our evenings with a craft beer at the cafe. Perfect vacation.
1499714,10577351,2014-02-25,4018365,Stacey,We had a perfect stay in the Cenote studio.  Cody helped to make the experience easy by responding extremely fast to all emails and making a very easy pick up/ drop off location for the keys.  The studio was in a great location- easy to walk everywhere and we loved having breakfast every morning at cenote.  I would definitely recommend the cenote studio to future travelers!
1499714,10906832,2014-03-12,12169706,Oded,"The place was great, the location right and the coffee shop highly recommended 
 Defiantly will return "
1499714,11313920,2014-03-29,6117101,Joel,perfect place to hide away!  amazing location.. great cafe next door with some of the best food and coffee
1499714,11702759,2014-04-12,1644968,Sean,We had a great experience staying at Cody's loft.  The Cenote coffeshop in front of the studio is a great place to start your day and the avocado burrito was delicious.  Checking in and out could not have been easier and Cody was great getting everything set up on short notice.  I would definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin as it met all of my expectations and Cody was a very accommodating host.  
1499714,12158726,2014-04-24,4514564,Sarah,"Great location, nice light, friendly host, only thing I missed was a coffee maker. "
1499714,12268619,2014-04-28,3336238,Kendra,"Me and 3 friends stayed at Cody's place during a conference in Austin. It was cozy and comfortable. We loved the location, the ease of getting in and out, the style and accessibility. Cody was communicative and accommodating. I also loved that it was located behind a fantastic gastropub/cafe that served great food, delicious beer and brewed Handsome coffee. If I'm ever back in Austin, I will definitely stay here again!"
1499714,12542888,2014-05-05,12722906,David,"The apartment was clean and comfortable.  Staying right there at Cenote Café makes for a very cool ""home base.""  Great location!"
1499714,13217748,2014-05-22,873501,Bill,Great studio. Just what I needed. Comfortable and clean. Great to have the cafe right there. Quiet at night. Cody made it easy.
1499714,13428695,2014-05-27,11314213,Kendra,"The place was perfectly comfortable and in a super great location. It's a 5-10 minute walk to all of the downtown attractions we wanted to see, which was ideal! Also, the cafe next door is really charming and has delicious food and coffee. The host is very accommodating and responds quickly to any messages. I would definitely stay again."
1499714,13573822,2014-05-31,5487750,Jessica,We had a good stay at Cody's place! It was all about the location!
1499714,13824210,2014-06-05,138420,Ellen,This is a perfect location.  It's awesome to have Cenote right there also.  
1499714,13873288,2014-06-07,9394827,Maura,"It was a pleasure staying at the Cenote Studio for our short stay in Austin. We loved this place and its location - only short walk to downtown (6th Street etc) and even shorter 5 min walk to Rainey Street (which we loved)!! We loved that the apartment was beside the Cenote Cafe, great spot for breakfast, lunch, evening drink and the Ju Ju Juice bar was great too. Very laid back place. Check in and out was also very easy and laid back - just how we like it. We would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thanks again :) "
1499714,14036436,2014-06-10,15320170,Andrey,This is a great spot in Austin. Very close to 6th and Rainey street and a good walking area. Also right next door to the Cenoto cafe which is extremely convenient and has great food and drinks. Very pleasant!
1499714,14612995,2014-06-23,13808268,Virginia,"This was a wonderdul place to stay. Clean and comfortable, Cody had everything set up, and ready to go. Staying in the 'backyard' of one of Austin's best places to drink coffee or beer, while eating breakfast tacos or delicous sandwiches made the experience that much more amazing. I would stay here again for sure. "
1499714,15184049,2014-07-04,4069959,Grace,"This was a wonderful stay! Austin was fantastic, as was Cody and the apartment. I can't say enough good things! I definitely recommend stating here and will again when I'm back in town!"
1499714,15324574,2014-07-07,4105072,Brittany,"My sister and I stayed here over Fourth of July weekend and LOVED it! Super cute space, very clean, loved that it was right behind the cafe (they have a fabulous iced chai latte, btw), and short walking distance to Rainey street (which you'll be thankful for after a late night...). A short/cheap Uber cab ride to downtown and anywhere else you want to go, too.

I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in town! Thanks a bunch, guys!"
1499714,15839712,2014-07-16,7635886,Dan,"Cody's place was great. Clean, good AC, next to a nice cafe, walking distance from downtown, bus stop, or Austin B-cycle rental station. We had a great stay and would recommend this place to friends. Cody was very nice and accomodating."
1499714,16158555,2014-07-22,16925681,Emily,"We loved the Cenote Studio! Cody was super accessible during our stay and was a helpful, attentive host. The studio itself was clean and comfortable with much more character and light than a hotel room. We also liked the neighborhood quite a bit. In addition to having Cenote right outside, we were only a 10 minute walk to friends staying at the Hilton downtown and less than 10 to Rainey Street. "
1499714,16236676,2014-07-23,14862235,Molly,Cody's place is awesome. Terrific location and Cenote seems to be the happening cafe in town. I would definitely stay there again!
1499714,16408445,2014-07-27,1634408,Kelly,"We've stayed here before and decided to stay again because Cody's place is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. It continues to be that way and I'm sure we'll be back! "
1499714,16686455,2014-07-31,9585450,Carol,"The place was great. Clean comfy and next to a delicious coffee shop and juice bar. Great access to all the cool stuff Austin has to offer. Bike trails are close, bars, restaurants and more.  Thanks. "
1499714,17105771,2014-08-07,3794485,Stephanie,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at the Cenote Studio. It had lots of space, a kitchen and a lovely bathroom. The apartment was as per the photos and was very clean. The air con was great in the heat and the location was wonderful. Could walk to the river, Soco and 6th street. Having the cafe downstairs was also great - tasty food and good coffee! Can't fault the place. Would definitely recommend!"
1499714,17964622,2014-08-19,18193829,Staton,"I had a great time staying at Cenote Studio earlier this month. I was in town exhibiting at the Austin Home and Garden show at the convention center, and booked the apartment because it was within walking distance of the show. 
Cody was a very attentive host, answering any questions I had with a quick text or in person at the Cenote Cafe next door.  The cafe has really good coffee and sandwiches, so if you stay at the studio, you don't have to go far to eat.  I would definitely stay here again. "
1499714,18332088,2014-08-25,18562574,Rachel,"We had a great time at Cody's place. It was big, spacious, and in walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go out at night. He was also very responsive: we went swimming one day and needed additional towels, and they brought them over right away. An awesome place to stay and would come back again. Recommended!"
1499714,19248374,2014-09-08,3906921,Madeline,Nice clean property. East to check in and check out. Fantastic location. Will use again without hesitation.
1499714,19615017,2014-09-15,4912342,Jenni,Really enjoyable stay at Cody's place. The bed is unbelievably comfortable! Good shower pressure and the air con was a treat from the heat outside. Within walking distance to Rainey Street and 6th Street. Personally I preferred Rainey St and East 6th had a much better atmosphere than west 6th - less young college kids and better music. Staff at Cenote were very friendly and helpful and Cody was quick to let me know the wifi details had changed. Would definitely return!
1499714,20985450,2014-10-09,15029089,Priscilla,"Such a nice place!  It's a nice little home perfect for a couple, clean and cosy.  Near from everything (we enjoyed particularly the Rainey street and the 6th E for cool bars and friendly eating places) and the Cenote cafe just in front for the late breakfast.  The staff is really sympathique.  Cody accommodated us cause our flight was delayed and he always look like an easygoing guy.  We will recommended this place for sure and come back for another ACL festival!  Austin is the perfect city for music lovers!"
1499714,21590355,2014-10-20,20870109,Taylor,"My friend and I stayed here for a girls weekend in October and loved it! Upon arrival we were welcomed with instructions and contact numbers if we needed anything. It was very easy to check in and out and everything was clean upon entry.

The location of this apartment couldn't be more perfect. You are steps from the Cenote cafe which has the most amazing coffee. I am still craving the homemade vanilla bean that was mixed into my coffee each morning. The city is not more than a 20-25 minute walk away for a quick 5 minute drive. You are also a 5 minute walk from the food trucks which was awesome.

A few things to note that we did have minor issues with were:

1. We couldn't figure out how the air conditioning worked. We read the instructions but it kept kicking on and off at weird times. Needless to say there were points we were freezing and others we were very hot. 
2. Some of the towels were washed but were stained from previous users. Not a big deal as we just grabbed new ones from the closet.
3. The wifi stopped working on day 2. Not sure what happened. Again not a huge deal as we weren't really ever in the apartment so we didn't feel that it was a big enough issue to reach out to Cody.

Overall we loved this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat. Cody was a great host as he allowed us to have an early check in which was very helpful. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Thank you again Cody!  "
1499714,21714236,2014-10-22,17847958,Eli,"Apartment was very clean and well-maintained. Right behind the Cenote Cafe, it was convenient to grab some breakfast there and a very short walk to Rainey St. "
1499714,22762241,2014-11-14,144705,Deanna,"Oh, this place was just perfect. Gorgeous, comfortable, walking distance to Rainey St restaurants, downtown and more. Proximity to excellent Cenote coffee = added bonus. Cody was also there for whatever I needed and super communicative. I'm in Austin often and I can't wait to stay here again."
1499714,23834726,2014-12-12,21373972,Lisa,"The location of the Cenote Studio was perfect! Walking distance to lots of fun bars in East Austin and downtown. I also loved Cenote Cafe and ate breakfast there all week (and the JuJu Juice bar!) Cody was very communicative and answered all of my texts. Also I accidentally locked myself out and the people in the cafe were super nice and found an extra set of keys. The studio had all of the basics but a bit rough around the edges.. the shower only went about lukewarm, towels had stains, and the entranceway light wasn't working."
1499714,25414425,2015-01-15,13283415,Paul,"Checking in was easy and the location is great. In particular, it's right above a great restaurant and includes a parking spot, both of which are very handy. The place was comfortable and clean and well-stocked. We had a great time."
1499714,25588832,2015-01-19,2807418,Dorothy,The reservation was canceled 54 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1499714,25589930,2015-01-20,19647188,Jaclyn,We arrived late (midnight) and Cody was very accommodating.  The location of Cenote is ideal (within walking distance to many Austin attractions including easy freeway access).  The pictures of the apartment are accurate and the accommodations were comfortable for our 4 night stay.
1499714,26333700,2015-02-09,1266923,Molly,"The Cenote Studio is situated right in the middle of the action in East Austin, and is a snug and comfortable rental. We loved the location; the bed was quite comfortable, and the bathroom roomy. Great home base for exploring all of Austin. The proximity to the coffee shop was also great -- the pickled vegetables were a favorite! "
1499714,27172338,2015-02-27,12007565,New,"Great apartment near the Austin Convention Center with available parking and directly behind a tasty restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The cost of my stay was a fraction of what I would have paid at a hotel. Checking in and out was a breeze, the apartment was comfortable, and I would definitely book again."
1499714,27573334,2015-03-08,5361009,Katie,"The studio was as charming as the pictures and well-appointed to boot. We had everything we needed, except coffee (and Cenote was a short walk away). I was there for a conference at the convention center, which is just a short walk down Cesar Chavez. 

I never met Cody, but the staff at Cenote helped me check in and out and there were helpful notes once I got into the apartment.

I would love to stay here again if I have the pleasure of returning to Austin. What a great space!"
1499714,27726731,2015-03-10,19082490,Athena,"Very nice and cozy! On our second night we had a girls' night in, and the modern tv and heater were great while we snuggled on the couch and watched a movie. The Cenote cafe is lovely, and Cody was always quick to respond to questions. Thanks!"
1499714,29612527,2015-04-10,8497310,Clark,We had a very nice stay at the Cenote Studio on our visit to Austin.  Cody was very easy to work with and timely in his communications.  The studio was very clean and comfortable and the description was very accurate.  The bed was fantastic.  A real bonus was the Cenote Cafe as we ate breakfast there every morning and also enjoyed sitting out one evening.  It was a 15 minute walk to the heart of the city and we did that everyday.  Would stay again.
1499714,29764360,2015-04-12,13589254,Anne,The reservation was canceled 338 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1499714,30670744,2015-04-26,3747926,Jordan,"This studio was perfect for what my husband I were looking for in Austin- good walkability and cool, clean,  and comfortable place to spend our down time. We loved the proximity to Cenote Cafe (great food and coffee) as well as Rainey Street, food trucks, and the path around the river which we biked, ran, and rented kayaks on. We didn't bring a car with us, and it was an easy walk, bike ride (B Cycle), or inexpensive Uber ride to anywhere in Austin. I would definitely recommend this and look forward to coming back to stay again."
1499714,30858787,2015-04-28,454123,Julia,Great location and easy check-in.
1499714,31651420,2015-05-08,23215255,Pearce,"Cenote studio was a great AirBnB for me and my girlfriend (bay area natives). We loved the proximity to downtown, the lake, and B-cycle. Everything was clean and the air-conditioning was in good working order, which proved crucial on some hot days during our visit in early May. Had no problem getting several good nights of sleep and really appreciated access to the washer and dryer. Lastly, we loved being able to wake up and eat breakfast at the Cenote cafe as well as Ju-Ju-Juice (counter and kitchen are attached to the cafe). Good vibes for a morning drink of tea/coffee and a book."
1499714,32049240,2015-05-13,26714881,Jasmin,"Amazing location just a short walk from all the good bars on 6th east. Cody and the whole team at Cenote are very welcoming. The flat is spacious clean and very comfortable, we slept four there with ease. Also worth mentioning the Cenote cafe and juice bar is great for healthy food and good coffee! 10/10 all round experience! "
1499714,32693602,2015-05-20,10307978,Megan,My stay at the Cenote Studio was great!  I was in Austin for a conference and staying at the Cenote Studio made it way more affordable and pleasurable than if I had stayed at one of the convention center hotels.  I loved this part of Austin.  Cody and the rest of the staff at the Cenote made me feel very welcome.  The studio itself was really cozy and had everything I needed.  Coffee every morning at the Cenote was a great way to start the day.  As a woman traveling by herself I really couldn't have asked for a better place to call my temporary home.
1499714,33702941,2015-05-31,7363908,Dominique,It was exactly like the description and the bed was very comfortable. 
1499714,33996375,2015-06-03,2347294,Shim,Cody was very accommodating on our recent trip to Austin. The photos in the description accurately reflect the look and feel of the studio. Austin is a fun city and I definitely look forward to staying here again soon.
1499714,34213508,2015-06-06,5854998,Rachel,"We were so happy with our stay! The location was perfect for exploring the city. East Austin is such a neat area with so many great food and beer options, very walkable, or a quick B-Cycle ride to anywhere in the city. The check-in and check-out were effortless, and the studio was a wonderful place to come home to."
1499714,34556020,2015-06-09,7364024,Ashley,"This Austin studio was perfect for our trip to Austin!
My boyfriend and I arrived pretty late, and Cody had left the apartment open so we didn't have to worry about checking in, etc. The apartment itself was just as described, very stylishly furnished and cozy but spacious enough for what we needed. Excellently located- it was a short, cheap Uber ride out to South Congress, and we were an easy walk to the Eastside section of 6th street, and downtown. The Cenote cafe was adorable and delicious, and we spent a pretty good amount of time there as well. Highly recommend this spot!"
1499714,35249364,2015-06-16,4595305,Micah,"Great place to stay. The location is perfect as is the parking there. Close to the excitement of downtown, but easy to escape to calmer environs. Easy walking distance to kayaking and Congress street bats. Breakfast burritos are awesome at Cenote, juice and smoothies super fresh and tasty at Juju. Plenty of options around for anything to keep anyone busy. Plenty of peace and quiet to relax. Thanks for putting us up and putting up with us. "":^)"
1499714,35542886,2015-06-20,25194,Dave,"The Cenote studio is great.  It's a low-key, easy check-in process because you get the key from the staff at the cafe adjacent to the studio.  So I just showed up instead of having to coordinate with someone to meet me there (as is usually the case with airbnb spaces.  

These aren't upscale digs--if that's what you're looking for, there are some fine hotels downtown.  However, this place is very comfortable, clean, and quite spacious for a studio--it's an old space that's been refreshed, so there's a blend of old and new.  The bath and kitchen are vintage, but the HVAC, TV, lighting, etc. are new.  

Cody communicated well beforehand, and I met him at one point while I was in the cafe for coffee.  The cafe, by the way, is awesome--great coffee and great breakfasts.  Looks like they have a really good beer/cider/wine selection and their lunches and dinners are probably really good, too, but I only hung out there in the mornings for coffee and breakfast. 

I'd definitely stay there again if I were heading to Austin, and I recommend it."
1499714,37366440,2015-07-06,11136740,Thy,"Nice and clean space.  Everything planned out great and this was actually in a great location, walking distance to most of the hotspots in  town."
1499714,39689079,2015-07-25,8046894,Michelle,The studio was exactly as described.  The restaurant was a perfect place to catch up on work and grab a meal or drink any time of the day.  The rental was close to everything or a short Uber away.  I would highly recommend staying in this up and coming neighborhood.
1499714,40670912,2015-08-01,10813558,Erin,"Cody's place was perfect for our needs. Clean, comfortable, central and hassle free. Loved popping down to the cafe for above average lattes and snacks in the morning while my husband caught a few extra zzz's. We'll be back and/or referring friends to this specific listing to be sure. "
1499714,41130446,2015-08-04,28378535,Paul,"Great place, made for a good visit to Austin. Would recommend!"
1499714,42875774,2015-08-16,12166465,Tanisha,We had a fabulous stay at the Cenote Studio. It was the hottest week on record in Austin and returning to the studio was always a welcome and comfortable escape from the heat. The location was convenient to great eats and offered easy access to downtown and nearby neighborhoods. Cody was a great host. He was very responsive before and during our stay. It was a great first visit to 'Bat City.'
1499714,43743270,2015-08-22,9558444,Mike,"The studio was great! Spacious and comfortable. Better than the description. Big bonus was that it was next to Cenote, which has fabulous breakfasts and good coffee. Easy to get to downtown. I will definitely stay again when I am in town."
1499714,44254733,2015-08-24,41971887,Katie,"We stayed here for two nights and could not be happier with the location!!! We love the fresh juice bar down stairs and Ibe the man that worked there was super friendly. Short drive to Barton springs, paddleboarding, and 6th street. Walking distance from east side which is full of chill bars and great food trucks. 
Check in was very easy- cody left notes in the apartment if we had any questions and his number was included if we needed to reach him. 
The place was the perfect size for two! Very clean, nice wood floors and he had fresh sheets and towels for us to use!
"
1499714,45446981,2015-09-02,4318070,Greg,"Great clean studio next to a chill cafe and minutes walk to Rainy St....this was a luck find. Can't go wrong with this place if you're looking a base for fun on the weekend or a place to work from during the week. Thank you, Cody, for making check-in super convenient and simple."
1499714,45766740,2015-09-06,29432643,Claire,Great studio and location near lots of awesome eating spots! Cody was super responsive to any messages. It was a bonus to have free parking and use of a washer dryer there also! Cenote served the best coffee I have had since being in the States!
1499714,46133830,2015-09-08,16327614,Bonnie,"The cafe was busy when we arrived, and Cody was busy. He was pleasant but curt. We were not allowed to check in early, in fact had to ask twice when we came back to check in on time.
The area is great for accessibility to downtown Austin, and the food was excellent at Cenote Cafe.
The studio is old, VERY OLD. So if you prefer a spotless place, this may not work for you. We are not particularly picky, but this is not our best Airbnb experience.
Amenities are adequate, but a coffee pot and easily operable stove would have been appreciated. The A/C unit is a bit finicky."
1499714,46811152,2015-09-13,8225294,Brian,"This little room above a garage is delightful.  I saw one comment say it was old...where it may be, this only makes it even more charming.  Great appointments in a very comfortable and peaceful space.  The best aspect is the fact you can roll out of bed in the morning...walk a few feet...to one of the most charming coffee house/restaurants in Austin (Cenote).  I'm not exaggerating, this coffee house and the grounds are beautiful and inviting.  As a writer who was just hanging in Austin to work...it was a little slice of heaven."
1499714,47627855,2015-09-21,34228790,Ashley,"Our stay was great!  Our favorite part was the Cenote cafe. The food and service was amazing!  Fresh, great portions, and a cash discount - you cannot beat it.  We arrived, picked up the key and the nice staff showed us into the apartment.

The apartment has great charm and character.  Perfect for what we needed - a place to sleep and get ready to head back to the Convention Center which was a $5 Uber ride.  Our friends staying at hotels may have been able to walk to the Convention Center, but, they waited 45 minutes in line for Starbucks and we had amazing breakfast each morning by walking downstairs :)  

Thanks again Cody!"
1499714,48874225,2015-09-29,32804012,Josephine,"Cody was a wonderful host, we had a couple of requests which he sorted without any problem.  He generously allowed us a late check out for our daughter as she was leaving Austin late in the afternoon.  The apartment met the description perfectly.  Cenote was perfect for us, especially having the cafe in our back garden.  The cafe was wonderful with beautiful food and coffee and the staff were fantastic.  The location was perfect for us with a short walk to Rainey Street and to the downtown area. We recommend the apartment to other travellers.   Thanks Cody our stay in Austin was made so enjoyable by the space you provided for us.  Josie John and Chloe Robertson"
1499714,50430124,2015-10-12,34296808,Katie,"My friends and I had a great experience staying at Cody's place!  It was clean, convenient, and the neighborhood was great.  We had one minor issue, and Cody had it taken care of immediately - very responsive!  I would highly recommend renting from him."
1499714,51714043,2015-10-24,3417914,Misha,"I really liked the place. It is very different from anything I have stayed in Austin before. It is rustic modern. Location is great, Cenote coffee place is right next door and also is great - true BnB. Cody was very prompt and accommodating. Great experience. Thank you. "
1499714,52204256,2015-10-27,9294282,Isabelle,"Great studio in east Austin. Only a 10-15 minute walk to the main downtown district. Super clean! Check in process was easy and Cody was very responsive. Would definitely recommend this studio, especially if you are visiting Austin with a car as it has dedicated parking spot."
1499714,52460969,2015-10-29,47013604,Jack,"Came to Austin for the Formula 1 weekend and greatly enjoyed the apartment. Only walking distance to the downtown area and the JuJu Juice bar is a great spot for a drink and a feed. The apartment is a good size, is clean, Wifi works perfectly, as does the TV and air conditioning. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
2466535,10891195,2014-03-11,11610052,Jean-Christian,"Managed to reserve this home just a few days out from SXSW. Price was great, location was close-in and every detail was covered prior to check-in. A very welcoming and hospitable host. The home was comfortable with plenty of entertainment options. "
2466535,11022668,2014-03-17,12566823,Jiga,"Great place to stay with a couple, family and even a band, just like we did.
Very relaxed neighborhood. All expectations were matched and even surpassed. Great price, really nice host and hostess and plenty of space to accommodate 8people without no one getting in each others way.
I wish we had time to enjoy a BBQ in the garden but we didn't. Believe, it's worth it. It has an amazing landscaping. 
"
2466535,11155227,2014-03-23,242920,Davis,"The house was a great home base for our stay in Austin. It is convenient to the South Congress neighborhood and close to food, coffee, and the bar scene. Clean and well-maintained."
2466535,13172728,2014-05-21,15673139,Thomas,The reservation was canceled 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2466535,13964265,2014-06-09,6755682,Katie,"Auburn and Nick were a delight!  Even though we never met, I feel like I know them.  :0)  The house was warm and welcoming and the garden really added to a feeling of peaceful retreat.  They were very kind and let me stay for six weeks so I really got to know the place. I loved the location.  Being so close to South Congress meant I was 7 minutes from all the happenings I got invited to.  It was perfect!  I would recommend this spot to anyone coming through Austin. "
2466535,15371701,2014-07-07,13356521,Benjamin,"The location of this house was great and we felt very safe in the neighborhood.   The property definitely embodies a South Austin vibe. Very eccentric, with devil themed decor through out several rooms in the house.  The house was well cleaned.  Even the pull out couch bed was comfortable for the weekend.  Although we did not spend much time in the house during our weekend stay we felt that it had all the amenities necessary to be comfortable. "
2466535,16534540,2014-07-28,5476660,Justin,"Clean, homey, great location. Arrival was very easy. The outside of the house isn't as nice as the inside so don't judge it when immediately pulling up. We've been to Austin many times so we knew the location would be good. There were a few cob webs in places but nothing that made us uncomfortable and my wife would freak out if the place was ""clean but felt grimey"" this was definitely clean feeling. If you're one of those ""super conservative Christians that the presence of anything ""satanic"" makes you uncomfortable and you just can't be in the presence of it"" then this place is not for you. It is decorated with eclectic little devils and satans throughout. As Christians ourselves, it didn't bother me at all but it's something to consider bc I do know ppl who would make a big deal of it. All in all, the hosts are sweet, easy to interact and get ahold of, they welcomed us to a few beers in the fridge, have the same taste in food as we did and altogether it was definitely a pleasant stay and I would have no problem staying there again and/or recommending this place to anyone who wants to visit the downtown / South Congress area for a weekend or so. Thanks Nick & Auburn!!"
2466535,16964495,2014-08-04,17976144,Kenneth,"We had an excellent stay at Nick and Auburn's place in Austin. It was the perfect spot, just outside downtown, just a short drive/cab ride to all the attractions of Austin. I would highly recommend this house because it offers an alarm system and can host up to 6 people. No complaints here! "
2466535,17910495,2014-08-18,15522948,Tracy,Great place and very accommodating. Plenty of space and everything you need to feel at home. Great landscaping and very comfortable sleeping arrangements.
2466535,20892620,2014-10-07,5178800,Bryan,Auburn and Nick were great hosts. They were timely and very helpful with getting us situated for our visit. The place was very clean and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying at their place. We were in town for ACL and it was really easy to uber to and from their place to the park. 
2466535,21275645,2014-10-14,12087005,Armando,"Our stay at the home was great. Our host, Nick, was very welcoming and considerate of our requests, allowing us to arrive a little earlier than scheduled. The house was very nice, the rooms were clean and ready for guests, the furniture was comfortable, and the kitchen was accessible. The decorations around the house gave it a lot of character. I do want to point out that there was a lot of satanic themed decorations through the home, and although they did not bother me at all, I know there are people who may be sensitive to it. 
The outside of the house was a little bit cluttered, and the backyard was a good size. An added plus to the home was the doggie door, which allowed our dog to go outside and take care of business while we were out. 
The location was fairly close to Zilker Park (about a 20 minute bike ride), and 6th street (10 minute drive). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at the home, and we appreciate Nick for hosting us."
2466535,22669097,2014-11-11,22868302,Joshua,"Thank you to our hosts, Nick and Auburn. Our recent stay was great. The location was ideal for our Austin trip. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. I enjoyed the decor inside and it had everything we could need and more. Although we spent more time outside of the house, it was very nice to come back to after a long day at Fun Fun Fun Fest.
Nick was helpful in contacting me prior to my arrival date to confirm details and it was nice to have a house alarm to use when away. It felt like staying at a friends house. Enjoyed the stay very much and would do it again on a future Austin trip."
2466535,26683666,2015-02-17,25716403,Kim,"Four of us stayed at this place for a week in mid-February and we loved it. The house has a big porch with ample seating and a ceiling fan. It is a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine. The inside of the house is beautifully decorated with a fascinating collection of oddball artifacts. There is an impressive collection of devils. The paintings are interesting and provocative and sparked several entertaining discussions within our group. We really enjoyed the big dining room table, which is located in the center of the house and is a natural gathering point. The yard has been designed to be bird friendly, which may be why we got to enjoy their songs each morning.

Although the house didn't have a coffee pot, there was a nice selection of teas and there's an excellent coffee shop within walking distance over the hill. The sofa bed was comfortable despite having a bit of a dip in the center. When we return to Austin, we'll definitely consider staying here again. "
2466535,27674197,2015-03-09,27988920,Yvette,"Auburn and Nick were great hosts, very helpful and accommodating.  The home is lovely, clean and in a perfect location.  There is a great porch to get some morning sun and a variety of colorful birds visit the watering statue so it's very tranquil.  The location was perfectly convenient for our Austin visit to restaurants, shopping, etc.  Would definitely stay again! "
2466535,28426673,2015-03-23,17761622,Erin,"Auburn and Nick have hosting down to a science -- everything was clean, well-kept, and beautifully appointed. We loved the space and felt right at home during our stay! They have obviously put a lot of thought into how they want their home to be presented and we were glad to be a part of that. Information was communicated clearly and concisely. Thanks!"
2466535,28898869,2015-03-31,26881837,Crystal,"This home is everything we were looking for! The art was funky, the house was clean, the bed was comfortable and you could sit on the porch for days! We had an amazing time at a great location. The neighborhood was very nice and has some really cool houses. Auburn was very quick at responding to my emails and this home process was so smooth thanks to her."
2466535,30333238,2015-04-20,29247333,Rachel,"The home was in a great neighborhood, very clean and beautifully decorated both inside and out. Auburn and Nick provided my friends and me with plenty of snacks, drinks, towels and linens. If we were not there to explore Austin, we would have been more than content just hanging out in the gorgeous home. We accidentally set off the alarm coming back in to the house when my friend punched in the wrong code and Nick was readily available to talk to. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Austin. I have no complaints whatsoever."
2466535,31319035,2015-05-04,1836534,Julie,"Auburn and Nick are the hosts with the mosts...very organized about arrival details and thoughtful enough to check during our stay to make sure all was going well.  The house is adorable and fit two couples perfectly. Location was good (we had car) and gave us some peace and quiet at the same time we had easy access to all the sites. I went for beautiful walks every morning and felt very safe.  My only complaint was the abundance of treats they provided, which did not work out well with my lack of self control!!!"
2466535,33257928,2015-05-26,1813454,Amanda,"My friends and I enjoyed staying at the bungalow.  We especially liked sitting on the plant filled, serene porch.  The house was clean and the beds were super comfy.  "
2466535,50616295,2015-10-13,34857738,Rose,"No complaints! Great location, surrounded by awesome shops and restaurants but quiet and tucked away. Comfy beds, powerful ac, beautiful outdoor space. We all loved the decor!"
5549432,28040326,2015-03-16,5038034,Darshita,"Jack was an awesome host! Vey flexible and adjusting for us, especially with the last minute booking. His apartment is very clean and welcoming! great decor. Location is great to get to downtown Austin, quick cab ride or 30 min walk. Jack also provided us with breakfast and towels which was very hospitable of him. Would recommend others to stay here!"
1664804,7952376,2013-10-09,1187225,Roberto,"Kiersten and her husband Dylan were the best hosts ever , they were very nice to greet us on our arrival , they even had some snaks and they were just a call or tex away if we needed any questions , they are super super nice , the house is amazing , the neighborhood , the area by the lake is amazing to have some friends around , 
i definitely recommend staying at their house , next time in Austin I dont have to search anymore for a place
"
1664804,8523623,2013-11-04,8732419,Matthew,"Kiersten was an incredible hostess and very easy to work with. She graciously opened her house to a group of 10 guys down there for a guys weekend. Her home is incredible too, the amenities and the space are 2nd to none as well as the overall finish out and decor of the home. Her home is definitely worth booking again and not wasting my time looking over any other austin listings that accommodate large groups. Thank You!!"
1664804,8718423,2013-11-13,9019613,Graham,"Great space!!  Well equipped.  Extremely clean.  Great beds.  Very cool and convenient west lake location...  

Kiersten was extremely easy to work with, and our stay was problem free.  We'll definitely be back.  I'd highly recommend!   "
1664804,9585633,2014-01-03,8935181,Darien,Great Host! Great place! Enjoyed every second of being 15 min. from downtown. 5 STARS!

Thanks for the hospitality Kiersten!"

Very nice location for downtown and the lake... Kiersten was extremely helpful and friendly. Our entire trip was problem free and I hope to be back someday. I highly recommend Kiersten, it was overall a great time!"
1664804,12326408,2014-04-29,9993728,Andrew,"Kiersten and her property surpassed all expectations. Check-in and check-out were easy, she was helpful and responsive prior to and during our trip, and the house is great. Stay with Kiersten, you won't be disappointed."

When we arrived, the place was very clean and exactly like what we were expecting. Location was excellent and there was a huge driveway (great for multiple vehicles!!). We ended up getting double booked at this location with another renter, but both Greg and Tony worked diligently to find a solution. The situation was corrected and resolved quickly and they provided us with a cold bottle of champagne :) (along with other compensation). The rest of our weekend was great and we really enjoyed 6th Street and Rainey Street! "

2302368,11016288,2014-03-17,12397428,Jen,"Aaron has a beautiful home and went above and beyond as a host. He was always quick to respond to any of our questions and made sure to check in on us via text. The house is in a great location, in great shape, and had everything we needed, including bathroom supplies like shampoo and new loofa sponges for all! The quick walk to South First and South Congress made it easy for our team to head out for meals or shopping and hopping on the bus to head downtown was painless. I would definitely work with Aaron and stay in his wonderful home again.
"
2302368,11769888,2014-04-14,13789073,Elizabeth,"I went to Austin with four other firends for an annual girls trip.  We all loved Aaron's home!  It was very charming, clean and comfortable.  We spent a lot of time on the screened-in front porch.  It was a perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and an afternoon/evening cocktail.  We decided not to rent a car so location was very important, the house is in a great location and walkable to many restaurants, bars and shops. It's a short cab ride to the downtown area and the airport.   Aaron was a great host, he responded to texts very quickly and provided us with great recommendations for places to eat and things to do.  I highly recommend!"
2302368,28086817,2015-03-17,25859881,Kate,"What an absolutely lovely home! Aaron greeted me promptly, showed me how to use the home's features, and left a pinata as a welcome gift! 

The house is on a quiet street, with a wonderful front porch, and we got to chat with the neighbors, who are all great. The pool and hot tub were the perfect places to relax after a long day of SXSW madness. Everything was comfortable and welcoming. 

The neighborhood itself is great, very walkable if you're without a car. From Aaron's, you can easily get to the S. 1st and South Congress areas. There are plenty of cheap Uber rides around if you need to go a bit further. 

We were super thrilled with this place, and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect Austin spot. "
2302368,30304194,2015-04-20,28943732,Annabel,"We had a great stay in Aaron's bungalow. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The rooms and bathrooms were really nice and the beds were super comfortable. We used the jacuzzi quite a bit and it was a big plus for us. 

Aaron was highly communicative and even came by late at night to save us when one of our guests accidentally locked everyone out of the house. Early on there was a hiccup with the pool but Aaron had it fixed right away. 

The house is within walking distance to some great restaurants (we loved the Bouldin Creek Cafe) and shopping. The neighborhood was quiet and the screened porch was the perfect place to sit and hang out in the morning. Could not have chosen a better place to stay in Austin. "
2302368,30767321,2015-04-27,27851563,Josefa,"The pictures don't do justice.  The house was beautiful and the pool was amazing.  A lot of the places we went to were nearby and the airport was just 10 minutes away.  Lastly aaron was a great host, very helpful in suggesting places to go to. "

All in all a great time in Austin! 
Thank you Dani!!

2092733,19708087,2014-09-16,2670639,Justin,"The host was fantastic. Super-clear communication before, during and after our stay. The place was impeccably clean, well-stocked, organized and very well designed. It was perfect for us. The neighborhood is great with lots of people out walking their dogs. There are parks and a pool nearby. Staying here is like staying in your own private boutique hotel, with added amenities like a gas grill on the deck and an awesome kitchen. I would most definitely stay here again and I've already recommended it to a few friends and family. "
2092733,21759458,2014-10-23,20947304,Andy,What a great place!  We had a little mishap getting but Dani was so responsive and got us in the house immediately.  Everything you need is there.  Neat and clean.  i could not have asked for more. 
2092733,23357529,2014-11-30,8555527,Betsy,"We spent a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Dani's home.  Her place is in a great neighborhood, within walking distance of a couple of my family members.  The unit is spotless, light, airy, and comfortable.  The little patio was a great place to have breakfast with our niece and nephew.  Parking is easy - street and driveway.  Having a washing machine and dryer available is always so helpful.  The welcome binder spelled out everything we needed to know.  A quiet, peaceful, and lovely place to settle in for a couple of days!  "
2092733,25546495,2015-01-19,6222866,Margaret,My friends and I had a lovely experience at the Plum Door. Super comfy beds and a relaxing space in general. Very convenient to Congress Street. I highly recommend staying here.
2092733,25944086,2015-01-30,22263374,Jon,"The home was modern and beautiful, well maintained and equipped for a wonderful stay.  Great design aesthetics furnishings. It is in the heart of Austin adjacent to all of the great places to eat, tour and visit.  The neighborhood was quiet and in a great area known as SoCo. Wish we could have stayed longer.    "
2092733,28276346,2015-03-21,27243970,Ann,"First time in Austin for SXSW and we had a great time! We loved staying at the Plum Door and walked over to SoCo was easy, the neighborhood was friendly and quiet, perfect oasis to come back to. Dani and Joel were super accommodating, we would definitely come back and stay here again and at the other fun SoCo Spaces."
2092733,29279559,2015-04-06,3799898,Blake,"Had a great time at this place. Really nicely appointed home in a really nice neighborhood, close to all the action of SOCO. 

Checking in and out was simple and Dani was quick to respond to any questions. 

Would definitely return on another trip to Austin and would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cool spot to stay."
2092733,31240152,2015-05-03,24513763,Angela,"I went to Austin for a quick visit to see some old friends and this house was perfect! Very clean, great location, and comfortable. Would absolutely stay again. The only thing lacking (which wasn't even that big of a deal) was that the TV was super tiny. "
2092733,31876390,2015-05-11,20992198,Kevin,Wonderful experience. Beautiful place and I felt right at home. Great neighborhood too!

2092733,33344932,2015-05-26,34051413,Caroline,"The Plum Door was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and I to explore Austin. The location was amazing, South Congress area is my favorite. We got rained in very badly, but we couldn't have chosen a better place to be! We stayed in and cooked a nice dinner together. The kitchen was fantastic. The bed was SO comfy. Definitely going back!"
2092733,33660773,2015-05-31,5769564,Will,"A very cool, stylish place which is ideally placed for many of Austin's best restaurants, bars and shops. Dani left plenty of information on the house so the time spent getting used to everything was minimised and the time spent enjoying a fabulous city was maximised. For 2-4 people (assuming two couples) I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Light streams into the lounge though, so think twice of you are going to need to use the sofa bed."
2092733,34587065,2015-06-09,29872777,Haley,"The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to any need. The neighborhood was a little eclectic, some modern and some older homes. Very close to cool restaurants and shops on South Congress. Used Uber to get to places which was very easy as everything was $5-6/ride away...Rainey Street was especially hip. House is well maintained with everything you could need for a weekend. Not exactly 5 star fancy but close...can't beat the price or amentities"
2092733,35272879,2015-06-16,2038761,Ryan,"Dani was an excellent host. She responded to my inquiries within minutes every time. Her property was perfect for my trip to Austin. The property was in a quiet area that was within walking distance to tons of restaurants, bars and attractions. The house itself was very clean and comfortable and could have easily fit another couple. "
2092733,36827296,2015-07-01,20307047,Melisa,"The house was spotless when we walked in with soft music playing. It smelled clean and cooled nicely when walking in from the Texas heat. The pictures were very accurate and I think the house was better in person! If unsure of your plans while in Austin, she made a very helpful resource book with things to do, places to eat, where to get groceries, take out, etc. Very helpful!! The neighborhood was charming and close to to everything but far enough to not hear yelling crowds at night. "
2092733,38016426,2015-07-12,197997,Grace,"Dani's place was beautiful and perfect for our weekend stay in Austin. It was conveniently located near all the great restaurants and in a quiet neighborhood. Dani answered all of my questions in a timely manner and her suggestions on things to do in Austin were so helpful! Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone else staying in Austin.

2092733,39098311,2015-07-20,217405,Jennifer,"We came for a quick trip to Austin in July.  It was a last minute thing, but we were lucky to have been able to book a stay at the Plum house. It ended up being the perfect thing --just a walk to South Congress and to our friend's home in Travis Heights.  Convenient drive to all the sites, places and restaurants we visited.    It was perfect for 2 families. Clean and comfortable beds.  All the amenities you needed.  We couldn't have asked for more."
2092733,39434708,2015-07-23,38092479,Mike,"This is a very well managed property, with some great attention to detail and design. The listing was indeed accurate, and the place was sparkling clean. Any questions I had on how to operate things like doorlocks, thermometers or operate the stereo were already solutioned for - operational instructions and details were listed throughout the home, and easy to comprehend. I had one small issue with the door lock (which was total user error on my part!), and Dani was available to help resolve the issue within minutes. I'll definitely make a habit of staying at this property (or any of Dani's) whenever I'm back in Austin!"
2092733,41470331,2015-08-07,2887328,Jennifer,"We love Austin and have stayed in many places before but SoCo Spaces tops the list. Our trip was a last minute thing, and we were fortunate to find the Plum House and book it for 3 nights. It ended up being the perfect thing --very close South Congress, and everywhere else for that matter. Dani was a lovely host, and included best of Austin tips and treasures to check out! 
Super clean, tool filled kitchen, and comfy beds. Thank you Dani for sharing your spaces and making vacations even better.

2092733,41964787,2015-08-10,786141,Caitlin,This place was amazing!!!! We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Austin. The location is amazing - close to highways and Congress Ave. Dani truly thought of everything and we appreciated the luxury touch of this space. Also - everything was so easy! Love the keyless entry and all the labeling around the house! 
2092733,43640092,2015-08-21,13266881,Alana,We rented 2 places because our entire team came out for a convention! Everyone loves how beautiful the home was. Perfect location too!!! 
2092733,45937981,2015-09-07,19930251,Justin,She was very accommodating. Gave very clear direcrions making everything simple.
2092733,50435764,2015-10-12,12710619,Chris,"The house was exactly as advertised. Everything was very clean and extremely well organized. There were a lot of nice and thoughtful touches that we really appreciated and that made our stay more enjoyable and inspired us to go out and explore the town while also attending ACL. 

The house is in a great location -- close to SoCo, so lots of excellent restaurants. 

The kitchen is very well appointed and comfortable -- we cooked a couple of meals here during our stay and were happy with how everything worked. 

Bed and furniture are very comfortable and well taken care of. All told I would very much reccomend staying here and would come back again. "
7884925,49496505,2015-10-04,21132324,Gahreen,Garrett and Corrine we're great hosts. The apartment was exactly as listed and was left neat and clean. The private garage and backyard were a plus.  We were in town for ACL and were close enough to the venue to walk or take a short Lyft ride over. 
3649811,18700489,2014-08-30,2948627,Kelsey,Katrina was very accommodating for a short notice visit and made it as easy as possible. Listing is just as promised and a great place to stay in a Central Austin!
3649811,18926737,2014-09-02,3795055,Guillermo,"Kristina's was a good host, replied to messages promptly. She also made us feel welcomed by providing her cell phone number and asking us to call her if we had any questions. The apartment is in a great location in Austin and the decoration is fantastic. The outside of the house was not that well taken care of but we rarely spent time in the front yard or patio. This i the place for you if you want a super chic interior in a great area in Austin. "
3649811,20041043,2014-09-22,20858865,Alana,"I reserved Katrina's place for my sister and her business partner in town for a real estate conference.  My sister's daughter stayed there a bit of the time, as well.  The house is in Hyde Park and is amazing.  We were so impressed with Katrina's style and the location of the house.  The sunroom can be used as a second bedroom.  We highly recommend staying here if Hyde Park is a good location for you.  "
3649811,21190906,2014-10-12,4439342,Manuel,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3649811,21311377,2014-10-14,21971005,Stevan,We had a great time! House was beautiful and as advertised and in a great neighborhood. Katrina was very responsive with any questions or messages. Highly recommend staying here.
3649811,21661036,2014-10-21,20870859,Amy,"This was a great place to stay. The house is cute like the pictures, walking distance to yummy places to eat, and in a charming neighborhood. Katrina was available as needed, and left her place ready for guests. I definitely recommend!
"
3649811,22308432,2014-11-03,21882086,Sandy,The place was very nice and as it appeared on the Internet.  This was my first experience with an airbnb so I didn't know what to expect but would have liked a note of some sort explaining things like how to use coffee maker etc. 
3649811,22635466,2014-11-10,23413873,Constance,"Truly enjoyed our stay in this cute little bungalow.  Felt like I was staying with a friend vs....the commercial feel of a hotel chain.  Katrina was extremely communicative in arranging our stay - another reason it felt welcoming.  Her sense of style - modern/eclectic....also added to the  Austin ""vibe""....her art, lighting fixtures, and throws.....just some of my favorite pieces.  One note of caution - no regular coffee maker!  and unfortunately, I am a coffee lover but not experienced in using ""high tech"" coffee prep....not sure what she has but I was clueless!!  Would recommend this as a cozy stay...."
3649811,23399560,2014-11-30,23819906,George,Great spot.  Just as described.  Thanks!
3649811,24509674,2014-12-29,5068499,Janice,"My twin sister and I were pleasantly surprised to be able to book this home so last minute (and during the week of Christmas, no less). We see each other only a couple times a year, so we were looking for a nice quiet retreat-like atmosphere, but still close to restaurants and shops. This home delivered in every way! Immaculately styled, clean, cozy, and in a very peaceful (almost too peaceful!) neighborhood. "
3649811,33018165,2015-05-24,12903161,Matthew,My family had a wonderful stay at Katrina's beautiful house.  Everything was as described.  Katrina was wonderful to deal with and i would suggest this house to anyone planning on going to Austin.   
3649811,35592121,2015-06-20,34771975,Dylan,The place was great and exactly as advertised.   It was clean and conveniently located to everything. 
3649811,36631375,2015-06-29,13615829,Dan,"Really nice place. Kitchen is as good as the pictures and the bottom floor room (w/ bath) is a great extra, as is the parking. Would love to stay again if we're back in Austin."
3649811,37384468,2015-07-06,15692730,Patricia,"We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property. Katrina was quick to reply to any questions we had. It is very close to downtown Austin and centrally located. We stayed here during the 4th of July weekend and were within easy access to many of the 4th of July festivities. The garage only holds 2 cars, so if you are raveling in a group that has more than that number of cars, you will have to park in the street. Just an FYI. We would definitely stay at this property on a return trip to Austin. I'd recommend this property to others who want to be close to downtown without having to deal with downtown traffic too much."
3649811,46196983,2015-09-08,30472741,Sidharth,"We loved this house. The house is centrally located and a 10 minute drive from almost anywhere. Everything was perfect, Katrina was a great host. "
4164084,20972523,2014-10-08,21896574,John,"We booked this lovely SoCo loft in Austin for Austin City Limits.  First time using AirBnB and could not have chosen a better space.  It was clean and comfortable, and Jason made sure to go out of his way to give us great information and everything we needed.  The little things make this place excellent:  soft linens and towels, coffee/tea maker, full kitchen and utensils.  Quick access to anything you would want out of Austin.  Would stay again in a second!"
4164084,21255922,2014-10-13,704759,Rémi,"I'd say I was somewhat disappointed by our experience. Jason, our host was quick to reply which was good. Apartment was clean, convenient, we didn't lack anything. However: 

a) The neighborhood was especially shady around Willowrun Dr. which is an isolated street from the rest of SoCo by St. Edwards University. I used Google View before booking and it's definitely way more shady than it looks (abandoned police car, mats in the street, way more garbage bins in the street that nobody seems to take back home somehow).

b) No hot water in shower. I know we could have informed our host, which would in turn have solved the problem quickly, but it was 90+ in Austin, our time was limited and we had something else to take care of. 

c) Noisy neighbors. Loud deep-south-rock music with lots of bass that shook the whole building, pretty much all evening long until 1-2AM. Again, not too bad since you're out enjoying Austin until the last night you actually want to sleep and wake up early to catch a flight.

d) Not the usual Airbnb experience. Every Airbnb I rent in the last 2 years were apartments people actually lived in. You then have a feeling of living like a local which was definitely not the case with this flat. 

e) Painfully slow Internets (only during evenings). Another reason to hate AT&T, not the host's fault, but the network got painfully slower starting around 4h30ishPM to the point getting your emails or reserving on Car2Go was an infuriating experience. 

f) As far as it gets from the action on SoCo - driving distance to the least or you'll need some pretty good shoes that won't get you in these fancy bars and clubs. "
4164084,21547382,2014-10-19,15212812,Muharem,All good :)
4164084,22415093,2014-11-05,6148437,Jonathan,"Jason  really came through on this one; quick responses, good info, and suave hosting skills. This is actually a review for his Hip Eastside Condo because the night before we were to arrive at the SoCo Loft, a burst pipe did a bit of water damage.

Got a call from Jason with the situation rundown and an offer to stay at his Eastside condo, a little flurry of emails with the new details (half our party was already on a plane), and everything is set.  Not really sure what would have happened had that not been available, but Jason was on point this time, so presume he'd TCB.

The Eastside condo seems like it's in an up-and-coming neighborhood with lots of new condos and single family homes getting work done.  Didn't hear or see anyone else in the complex, but the cars shuffled around in the parking lot every day.  It's really close to the SoCo strip, kinda wish we had bicycles.  There's a little shopping center just down the street for quick bites and whatnot.  If you're coming from the airport, the closest 100 bus stop is a quick 7min walk from the condo.

The kitchen is all ready to go, some food stuffs in the pantry ready to cook.  Living/dining room is comfy enough.  The bathroom is just fine, stocked with the basics and sunscreen(!), but the shower has one of those drown-you-in-a-waterfall type shower-heads that look good in commercials, but are actually kinda weird.

Main bedroom has a big comfy bed and porch. Upstairs are two single beds on the floor, possibly due to the roof cramping the ceiling height, but they're surprisingly comfortable.  You do have to walk up a super tight winding staircase to get into the loft area; a possibly vertigo-inducing descent follows, not sure I really want to attempt that in a drunken stupor in the middle of the night."
4164084,22651659,2014-11-11,20666139,Susan,"Jason was a great host -- starting with a goodie bag he left to welcome us and a helpful listing of recommendations for restaurants, nightlife and other things to do and see while in Austin. He was super responsive to any questions I had and immediately remedied an issue we had with water pressure in the shower. Once addressed (which, as I said, Jason did right away), the shower was perfect. No further problems at all. 

The condo was great. It appeared to be recently updated with new, or virtually new, everything: really nice Crate and Barrel sleeper sofa and chair and a half, new kitchen appliances, dishes, pots and pans, etc. The bed was very comfortable and everything was clean and tidy. 

As far as the ""shady"" description of the neighborhood goes from a previous reviewer, I wouldn't necessarily describe it that way. While it is not in an upscale, fancy neighborhood, we did not feel unsafe nor were we disturbed by any loud music. I did hear the neighbors a little bit from time to time, as one might expect with connected units, but nothing loud enough to bother us at all. My adult daughter and I were quite comfortable staying there. The location was also really convenient -- a short drive to the hot spots in SoCo (a few blocks) and downtown -- and no-hassle parking right outside the unit. 

I would definitely stay at Jason's condo again and would recommend it to others. "
4164084,27801089,2015-03-12,26792384,Benson,"Staying at Jason's was a pleasurable experience. The place was well stocked and had everything needed for a stay while I was in town for the month. Felt super cozy and felt at home right away. Would definitely recommend to anyone. The location itself may seem a little sketch, but it is close to soco, right next to st. Edwards. Jason is easy to ask questions and honest. Stay here you won't regret it! "
4164084,28147238,2015-03-18,9231266,Gabrielle,"The place was perfect! We arrived early and Jason was busy making sure the space was spotless and well stocked, including coffee and a few other groceries. He was more worried than we were about things we might need over our stay, so we felt well taken care of. "
4164084,28473824,2015-03-24,10308109,Henrik,The apartment was a great retreat from SXSW. Everything was as it should be and Jason was very helpful during our stay. Highly recommended!
4164084,44466743,2015-08-26,32998368,Karen,"The building the unit is in is a bit run down but once you step inside the loft is very comfortable and homey. Jason's description was spot on, the couch and chair were cozy, the bed was really comfortable and all the linens were luxurious. Jason left some goodies in the fridge, including half and half and coffee too! 
I could certainly hear the neighbors, but they were not loud or disruptive at all.  The neighborhood is not too attractive, the complex across the street is remodeling so there was a lot of construction trash, but the extended neighborhood is just fine. I would stay there again, because it's very convenient to St. Ed's and So Congress and not too far from downtown. Jason was really communicative and easy to get a hold of."
4164084,46249197,2015-09-08,4689326,Heather,"Jason was amazing!! We needed a place last minute because the Airbnb we originally booked fell through. When Airbnb called him he excepted the reservation and made it happen. The place was super clean and comfy, and perfect for us. Thank you Jason!!!"
4164084,47214852,2015-09-16,43717946,Nic,Great host and great place. It's in a good place right in SoCo with walking distance to some great places. We had an awesome trip and this was a great place to come back to everyday!
4164084,48945537,2015-09-29,19942663,Eugenie,"We greatly enjoyed staying at Jason's place. Inside was lovely and just as the pictures showed. The shower has the best water pressure! Great A/C and everything you will need in the kitchen.  Location wise it is pretty good but you will spend time walking or busing to South Congress. My tip, walk through the gorgeous, cool grounds of the university. Great value for the price. As a host, Jason was easy to contact and very helpful. "
4164084,50631703,2015-10-13,37346342,Chris,"My stay in the loft was great! Although the outside and the surrounding neighborhood seemed a little run down the inside was really clean and the bed super comfortable! In addition, it was located very close to south congress which was great. I would definitely stay again. "
4164084,51565124,2015-10-21,44462396,Amber,"Couldn't have asked for a better first experience using air bnb. Jason was a wonderful host and his place was just as pictured and described. From the moment I put the request in, he was quick to respond and answer any questions there after.  Closer to the start of the trip he provided me with not only the basics about staying at his place, but went one step further and provided a list of his recommendations for places to eat and things to do in the area. This was a huge help as it was my boyfriend and my first time in Austin and there is so much to do it's hard to narrow it down on your own. Icing on the cake was meeting Jason in person and his killer night of suggestion of hitting up the saxon pub for some amazing local music. Great guy, great place, great city, great everything!"
8578682,50602345,2015-10-12,24947085,Luke,"I had a fantastic stay with Petra and Drew. They're both great, gave me some fantastic tips on some restaurants / bars to check out in Austin.. Very very welcoming! They're house is fantastic..spacious and modern, and perfectly located for a great time in Austin! Would definitely love to stay if i travel to Austin again."
8578682,51514980,2015-10-20,36786763,Laura,"Petra was a great host, she provided a lock box with the key to get in, bathroom toiletries, fresh towels, the wifi password and her own custom list of local neighborhood hot spots, plus a guide book for the house.  The house was modern and clean; the top floor has two spacious bedrooms and a very large bathroom, you could easily have a 10 person bubble party in there! Lol.  My sister and I only used the master bedroom and the bed was very comfy! The location is about 5 miles from downtown Austin, so it's a quick ten minute drive there or about a $10-$15 Uber ride.  Overall, great place to stay!"
8578682,52811645,2015-11-01,3820601,Stuart,"What a great find!  Wonderful hosts, lovely house and just minutes from all the cool stuff.  Really enjoyed our stay."
712278,22630008,2014-11-10,23312717,Travis,"Staying at the Penick house was an absolutely amazing and comfortable experience (emphasis on the comfortable!) 

The house itself is super, super hip. It's got a great mid-60s-era cocktail party vibe thanks to the open-light, high-ceiling architecture and the beautiful wood floors. 

We rented the house for a bachelor party - group of about 8 guys. Plenty of room for everybody to sleep, and the huge backyard, nice sound system and pool table were perfect for the after-hours hangout.

The location's perfect too - only a couple minutes drive/bus or taxi ride away from the hip bars and restaurants on the eastside, and about the same distance from downtown, but still isolated enough for some peace and quiet if you're going for a more chill evening. 

The house is pretty much perfect for any kind of bachelor/bachelorette parties, large dinner parties, or simply a group trip to Austin. Also - it's equally family-friendly and youthful. I.e., you can bring the kids, or bring the drinking buddies - both would feel right at home.

Beyond that, Trey and Lucy were incredibly accommodating - they helped us book at the last minute, brought over 2 extra air mattresses just to make sure we were comfortable, and gave us a full tour of the place to make sure we knew how everything worked. After that - they left us alone and simply asked us to clean up after - the perfect hosts!"
712278,26652090,2015-02-16,5081640,Miles,I booked Trey and Lucy's house for a friend's birthday. The house was perfect and the hosts were very friendly and easy to communicate with. We had a great get together at the house and loved the pool table and sound system. The yard was also great for the dogs at the party and we enjoyed using the fire pit. Would definitely stay with again! Thanks for everything!
712278,27001810,2015-02-23,24759659,Kami,Trey and Lucy's home was perfect for my sisters bachelorette party weekend! The house was clean and organized when we arrived and Trey was there to show us around and let us know all the in's and out's of the home and area. There was more than enough space for all of our activities and beds for the girls to sleep in. It was located within a few minutes of downtown which made going out super easy and convenient. They make clean up very simple for you the next day which was great. I would definitely recommend this house to any of my friends looking to stay in Austin! 
712278,27678805,2015-03-09,7729118,Matt,"First and foremost, Trey and Lucy were fantastic hosts!  We were having a small get together at the last moment and needed an attractive, versatile space to keep everyone happy.   They came through in spades.

The house is a great, wide open floor plan with lots of natural light.  There are plenty of entertainment areas with a pool table, two televisions and a large furnished kitchen with anything you could need. 

The backyard is huge and overlooks a golf course that isn't too busy.  Kids had plenty of room to run around and stay out of our hair!

Neighborhood is quiet and an easy taxi ride to downtown.  Houses are only on one side so there's plenty of street parking.

Overall, highly recommend, would stay again!"
712278,28178014,2015-03-19,22815549,Istvan,"Lucy and Trey were great and very welcoming hosts, we have enjoyed every minute of our stay. They have recommended us nice spots in Austin, so overall a great experience."
712278,28786252,2015-03-30,26762178,Rob,"Wonderful house that worked out perfectly for our large-group bachelor party. Would definitely recommend as a rental for any looking for spacious living areas – it's all very open with tons of natural light.

The location is also incredibly convenient, as I'm not sure we had to drive more than 5-10 minutes to hit up any of the restaurants, activities, bars, etc. we went to over the course of the weekend. Close by for those looking to go downtown and just as convenient if you're looking to head elsewhere.

We honestly didn't use the backyard much at all, though I think it'd make a great option as an outdoor hangout, night or day.

An altogether great experience. Trey and Lucy were perfectly accommodating, the house was everything we needed it to be, and there was plenty of parking for a group our size. Would definitely recommend."
712278,32503892,2015-05-19,27970369,Diana,"Trey and Lucy’s guest house was the perfect place for our intimate private event.  The place is pleasantly bright with natural lighting and quite spacious. We were able to take some wonderful photos, both indoors and outdoors. Everyone commented how lovely and cool the place was. Great for entertaining! 

The property is in a friendly neighborhood and low on street noise. The house itself was very comfortable and came stocked with amenities; linens, towels, toiletries and extra bedding were also available.  We took advantage of their sizeable kitchen a few nights, presenting a delicious taco bar and whole roasted pig on their kitchen island! We also made use of their gas grill and barbecued chicken wings. 

It was such a pleasure meeting Trey and Lucy and a blessing having them as our hosts. They were very friendly, accommodating and easy to communicate with from the very beginning. We instantly found them to be very responsive, thoughtful and supportive. 

Per their suggestion, the living room furniture could be rearranged to our liking.  Upon request, Trey quickly provided us with a brand new cooler tub to chill our beverages on ice. Without prompting, they filled the outdoor oil lamp torches along the fence with citronella oil and lit them at just the right time which made for a terrific view along the golf course landscape.

Trey and Lucy were such fine hosts; very understanding and always ensured that we were taken care of even at odd hours. They were there when you needed them and not there when you didn’t. We could not have asked for anything more! 

We had a great experience and would definitely do it again.
"
712278,47899438,2015-09-21,19649392,Eddie,I have to say this has been the best experience I have ever had using Airbnb! My friends and I went this past weekend for the races and to celebrate a birthday. Trey and Lucy were wonderful! They bought my friend cupcakes for his birthday! The house was very organized and spotless and we had everything we needed. The layout and location of the house was amazing for entertaining and it has big TV's to watch football!  I am staying at this house every time I go to Austin :) Thanks Trey and Lucy for such an amazing experience! 
712278,52223034,2015-10-27,16154589,Nicholas,"I can't say enough great things about Lucy and Trey and their wonderful Austin home! From the friendly initial messages, to the incredibly warm greeting when we arrived (and the offer of a bourbon cocktail - it's like they can read minds), to the spot-on restaurant and bar recommendations, they made our visit incredibly special and worth it - no easy feat given the weather for F1 that weekend. And the home was convenient to everything. Really - this is where you want to stay - I know I'll be back, Thanks, Lucy and Trey!"
6289764,34334255,2015-06-07,33611037,Colleen,"We came to Austin for a graduation, and Michelle's location was perfect for the activities we had planned--very close to the University of Texas, downtown, Town Lake and main arteries like Lamar, Loop 1 and I­35. It was fabulous to come back from a busy day and take an afternoon nap at this quiet spot--a little oasis where we occasionally heard the cluck of a contented chicken. The room is private and quiet with such a comfortable bed and amenities we might have expected--microwave, small fridge, Keurig coffee maker and lovely assorted coffees. We took our coffee out on the patio to enjoy the big beautiful yard and do some chicken-watching.  In addition, though, Michele's room has an unexpectedly extensive library and a really fun selection of board games. We're definitely coming back to play the Harry Potter ""Clue"" game!
The period details of Michelle's house are so charming--such lovely furnishings, and don't miss the dragon fireplace! 
Michelle made herself available to answer all our questions and 
give a history of her gorgeous 1930s-era house. We are from the Austin area, but people not from Austin would benefit from her enormous font of local knowledge about where to go and what to do. 

Michele's room was perfect for us, and we recommend it for anybody headed to downtown Austin and looking for a quiet getaway."
6289764,43490737,2015-08-20,33664559,Lucy,"This was a lovely room in a great quiet location that was also really close to the university. It was really easy to get to the city centre or UT Austin campus by bus or by a short walk. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious and comfortable in August and the amenities were useful, especially the fridge. There was plenty of local information provided in the room too. Michelle was very welcoming and helpful and offered to tidy the room each day and do my washing for me, although the room was self-contained so I had plenty of space too! I would recommend this."
6289764,46026757,2015-09-07,2007805,Melissa,"Michelle's home was gorgeous!  Cozy and private and like a little library full of such cool things to look at.  We ended up needing to take a later flight, and not only was she accommodating--  and she even left us beers in the fridge after a long days travel!  We had everything we needed.  Additionally, the bnb is situation in north austin which was close to UT and full of awesome restaurants and cool bars.  We loved staying here!!  "
6289764,47855138,2015-09-21,10845361,Susan,"Long Night's Sleep was in the perfect location for me, centrally located for all my needs, and with nice restaurants nearby. All amenities necessary for a great stay were provided. Michelle is a gracious and helpful host, sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm of Austin. Definitely recommend her place to anyone looking for comfort and peace of mind."
6289764,48416661,2015-09-26,8879842,Scott,"Michelle was the perfect host.  She responded promptly to my messages, welcomed me when I arrived, and gave me lots of valuable advice--both in person and in the very helpful neighborhood guidebook--about how to get around Austin without a car.  The neighborhood, the house, and the room were perfectly charming, and exactly as described.  The house is conveniently located for visitors to UT.  It's about a 20 minute walk to campus through an interesting neighborhood with lots of stores and restaurants nearby.  A great place to stay with great people."
6289764,48733488,2015-09-28,29921835,Jordan,"We had a fabulous time, Michelle was an absolutely wonderful host! The room was spacious, comfortable, clean, and fantastically decorated. Michelle made us feel welcome and would check on us non intrusively to see if we needed anything. The recommendations in her room book helped us find fun things to do in Austin and introduced us to some awesome ice cream. The house and location were perfect and helped us feel immersed into Austin. Of course here adorable chickens were my favorite! Sit outside and have a chat with them while you have your morning coffee. I definitely want to return for our next Austin trip. "
6289764,50284919,2015-10-11,18418847,Saira,"Michelle is a wonderful host! She was very accommodating, and always went a step further to make us feel welcome... whether it be printing a document we needed to letting us use her sunscreen! The room was very cozy, spacious and clean. The neighborhood is well located, close to town and overall very convenient to everywhere we needed to go. We would highly recommend this Airbnb! Thank you Michelle!!"

The room is well equipped with a private bathroom and entrance. There is plenty of street parking and the price is reasonable and well worth it! We would certainly stay here again when back in Austin "
6289764,51499337,2015-10-20,22216183,Jamie,Cool neighborhood that was an easy drive to all the things we wanted to do in Austin. The house was great and quiet. Michelle was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. It made our trip even better knowing that we had a nice little room to come back to at the end of our day.
5519462,28155543,2015-03-18,147782,Dennis,"A warm Austin welcome from Elizabeth (and Chalmers, the sweet lab mix) awaits you here on the east side. The house is comfortable and eclectic, and the location is fantastic. A real neighborhood, but still very close to all the things that make Austin worth visiting. "
5519462,28285821,2015-03-21,7784901,Andrew,Elizabeth was super friendly and the house is beautiful! The neighborhood is great and I love E 1st Grocery around the corner. I would certainly stay with her again. 
5519462,29946481,2015-04-14,30510482,Noah,I had a great time in Austin! Elizabeth was a great host and the location is perfect!

5519462,31734504,2015-05-09,1886291,Elizabeth,"I only have good things to say about my stay here... the room itself was clean, spacious and comfortable, as is the shared bathroom. The location is perfect; just a short walk from a great breakfast taco food truck, well stocked shop and East Austin's best bars. Elizabeth was the best host. She was quick to reply to my messages, provided some great advice for the area and was super accommodating. Staying with her was a pleasure."
5519462,32085824,2015-05-13,1886291,Elizabeth,"I only have good things to say about my stay here... the room itself was clean, spacious and comfortable, as was the shared bathroom. The location is perfect and just a short walk from a great burrito food truck, well stocked shop and East Austin's best bars. Elizabeth is a great host; quick to respond to my messages, full of great advice for the area and really accommodating. Staying with her was a pleasure."
5519462,32418825,2015-05-17,13767774,Austin & Ani,"What we liked:
•Great communication before we arrived along with help with a few local spots
•Good location within walking distance of a lot of bars a restaurants
•Large bedroom and bathroom

What we didn’t like:
•Wasn’t aware that her other listings are all part of the same property – maybe we’re not entitled to this information as part of a private room listing
•The house was pretty messy and needed to be vacuumed
•We missed the part about the bathroom being shared – it was only mentioned in the caption of the bathroom picture
•Sound travels easily in the house and there was someone having a conversation right outside the room in the kitchen at 7:30am on Saturday
•Hair was clogging the shower drain
•The fan in the room didn’t work and it was pretty muggy all night
•Car alarms went off 2 or 3 times between 5am-9am"
5519462,32633363,2015-05-19,32920222,Andres,Awesome location. Host made us feel very welcome. The house was quiet and cozy. Check-in was simple. A+ Will be back.
5519462,32732359,2015-05-20,2240789,Tako,"Nice room, good location and the house has everything you need! Arrival and departure went smooth and Elizabeth is a nice host."
5519462,33180154,2015-05-25,29071836,Jing JIng,"Elizabeth is  good hostess,  I feel like at home."
5519462,33415477,2015-05-27,8688391,Audrey,"I only have great things to say about my stay. The room was very spacious and clean, as well as the bathroom. Elizabeth is an amazing host. My bf and I even had the pleasure to enjoy some drinks with her and other Airbnb guests one evening which made the experience that much better. The house is at a perfect walking distance to many restaurants, bars...everything hip in East Austin. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth's house if you're looking for a place to enjoy yourself and explore Austin."
5519462,33880665,2015-06-01,8874176,Jessica,"Elizabeth's home was an electric bungalow in the perfect neighborhood.  Great (email hidden)asonable price for being so close to the action. Elizabeth was great at communicating with us and gave us plenty of space and privacy. The room was very huge and the bed was comfy.  I would definitely choose to stay there again.
Thanks,"
5519462,35146481,2015-06-15,34730713,Tommy,"This was my first AirBNB experience & I was highly impressed. Elizabeth was very quick to reply to any questions I had. Very clean home w/ a full kitchen & living room. My room was very welcoming w/ a comfortable mattress, computer desk & WiFi. I didn't get a chance to meet Elizabeth but she provided plenty of privacy & quietness. She also  provided clean sheets, clean towels & a clean bath/shower in a remodeled bathroom that I fell in love with. My housemate next door was a lovely lady visiting from England.  The residence is literally blocks away from 6th street & all of the downtown hotspots. Walkable distance to plenty of bars and eateries on Cesar Chavez & walkable distance to campus. Thanks again Elizabeth for welcoming me into your home! "
5519462,35891726,2015-06-22,34536153,Cody,We had an amazing time and fell in love with the house. We were unfortunate to meet The host but she was still very helpful. She even had the room ready for us to check-in early. We will be back in Austin soon and plan to use her again.
5519462,36250484,2015-06-26,13065853,Daphne,"Charming house in a great locale in East Austin! Super-close and within walking distance to cool eateries and fun bars like my personal favorite, The White Horse. Easy transaction and check-in/check-out process. Room was big, clean and comfy. I was hardly there, so did not run into Elizabeth, but did meet her assistant who was welcoming and nice. I would stay again when I come back to Austin!"
5519462,37581303,2015-07-08,3148235,David,"Thanks Elizabeth for a lovely stay. Beautiful, spacious apartment near cool bars. An authentic experience. Would recommend 10/10!!! "
5519462,37707094,2015-07-09,22613142,Krys&Brad,Host was not there but her brother was very friendly and made himself available if we needed him. The inside of the place was clean and the bathroom was very nice. Parking on the street was readily available and the host sends you an email with recommendations of her favorite places to eat and drink if you're not familiar with the area. Transaction was smoothe and simple.
5519462,37876181,2015-07-11,14277634,Katrina,Loved staying with Elizabeth. The accommodation was perfect for exploring around Austin. The bed was comfortable and I just felt so relaxed staying there. Elizabeth was very good at keeping in touch prior to my check in. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
5519462,38213010,2015-07-13,34623962,Crystal,I didn't get a chance to meet Elizabeth but her assistant was extremely helpful. Elizabeth was out of the country but she was still very responsive and was able to assist me with any questions I had. The bungalow was very nice and convenient to public transportation. I took the bus everyday and didn't require a car.  There are a few local food trucks and restaurants within walking distance. 6th street was a further walk but definitely doable. 
5519462,38801178,2015-07-18,33469940,Ryan,"Great private room with access to full kitchen and shared bathroom. Own key to come and go as required. Assistants always around to help with any questions - lovely people. Host responded to messages almost instantly all the time.

House was clean, area felt safe, WiFi was fast, air-con was cold, shower was hot and free parking. All you need!

Other AirBNB guests may stay in the nearby room. Highly recommend this place for a quick trip to Austin."
5519462,38960695,2015-07-19,15730736,Omar,"The place was very clean, and easy to find. Enjoyable bungalow in a cool part of austin, close to a lot of things. Very simple to get in the afternoon, and leave the next morning!"
5519462,39538225,2015-07-24,26426593,Jimmy,"Big room, comfortable bed. Clean, new looking bathroom. Everything was good."
5519462,41053896,2015-08-03,617702,Suzy,The host canceled this reservation 61 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5519462,41959114,2015-08-10,10283983,Derek,"Place was great! Really close to downtown and about a $5 dollar Uber Ride.

Would highly recommend Elizabeth's place to anyone who is looking for a fantastic place at a low price. "
5519462,46138532,2015-09-08,36719772,Caitlin,Great location! Beautiful house and plenty of privacy
5519462,48715077,2015-09-28,3867471,Roselma,"Elizabeth was a wonderful host, and can't beat the location to some great bars and food trucks!"
5519462,50644937,2015-10-13,6879920,Daria,"Great location and nice room! Really easy to access all the best that Austin has to offer, and Elizabeth made it simple to check in/out. Would definitely come back! "
5519462,51371093,2015-10-19,5509232,Wylie,"I didn't get to meet Elizabeth, but my entire stay was smooth. Elizabeth was responsive to text prior and during the stay, especially when I couldn't figure out how to work a light. She fixed it for me immediately and even placed an extra lamp in the room just in case. The neighborhood was generally really quiet with music played by neighbors at night for short periods of time but not past 11pm/midnight (I stayed on Friday and Saturday nights). I had the room to the left of the bathroom and it was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was shared and had plenty of counter space; it was clean for a shared bathroom. The only things I have to point out is that the kitchen was rather messy but I didn't have to use it so I didn't care. In addition, I asked Elizabeth who else would be staying in the house. She told me about a friend (though she said it was a she and it turned out to be a he). I met her brother and this friend when I checked in as they were having a drink on the patio. However, Elizabeth failed to mention that the other room will be rented out to two different parties on my two nights. It could have been that they were rented out late, but the couple mentioned that they rented a few days ago and I asked Elizabeth the day before I checked in. It was not a major issue as the other guests were pleasant and we had minimal interaction. As a solo traveler, I would have liked to know beforehand rather than be surprised to open my door to see new people everyday. The room can be locked from the inside but not when you're out. I had no issues with security. I was attending a conference downtown and taking a Lyft was less than $10 each way. Overall, I had a pleasant stay.  "
7973357,46079977,2015-09-07,43114279,Julius,This was my first time utilizing an Air BNB and the experience surpassed all of my expectations. The house was very clean and homey and the bedrooms and bathrooms we immaculate! The house was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but was easy to locate and was close to the downtown area. The house had wifi and we had an early check in/late check out. I would definitely stay here again! 
7973357,46242703,2015-09-08,5532253,Adam,great stay here. place was very nice and looks just like the pictures. would definitely stay here again.
7973357,46997330,2015-09-14,28895809,Christian,This house was perfect for 3 people on a weekend getaway. It was close enough to everything that Austin has to offer and yet far enough from the noise of the city for us to get an amazing nights rest. Lynlie has such a great place that is immaculately kept. Highly recommend.
7973357,47327655,2015-09-17,41572159,Randy,"We had the pleasure of renting Lynlie's home, although only for one night. Her house is absolutely beautiful, clean and in a nice neighborhood.  

Lynlie was very communicative, with great instructions for check-in and check-out.

This was one of our finest AirBnB homes we've rented so far, and we highly recommend it to others.
"
7973357,47807306,2015-09-21,29479258,Aisha,The house was just as pictured and access in and out was a breeze! The amenities were perf for getting to and from downtown and campus In a good amount of time. Lynlie kept in contact when necessary and things were easy to find and use! 
7973357,48131934,2015-09-23,43707261,Vanessa,Our experience was great. The house is perfect for a party of 4 max. It was clean and at 15 minutes of the city. 
7973357,48631649,2015-09-27,44673958,Trevor,The place was exactly as described.  It was clean and ready for us when we arrived.  Lynlie responded very quickly to any and all questions I had.  Would stay here again!
7973357,48921686,2015-09-29,43496208,April,"Lynlie's home was very charming just as described. The house was nicely decorated, clean and we had no issues getting to and from our destinations. Everything close by about 10-20 minutes depending on where you wanted to go. 

I think communication is key when staying at someone's place, we kept in constant contact and her reply was prompt. 

The area was safe and wasn't worried about my car being broken into. 

I would stay here on my next trip to Austin.

"
7973357,49648697,2015-10-05,10441393,Steve,"The six of us really enjoyed our stay at Lynlie's house. The neighborhood felt very safe and even her next door neighbor was friendly to one of my buddy's by saying ""good morning."" The house was very spacious, clean and comforting. I would definitely recommend this house to future AirBnB'ers!  Thank you very much Lynlie for a very welcoming stay during ACL weekend."
7973357,51340665,2015-10-19,33230722,Michelle,Our stay at Lynlie's was wonderful. Her house was so clean and comfortably slept six people. The beds were super comfortable and the keyless door entry was very convenient. Ubers to downtown Austin were readily available. I would recommend staying here! 
7973357,51792395,2015-10-24,44797118,Kim,This was our first Airbnb experience.  We found everything to be as promised.  The house was clean & tidy with everything we needed to cook our meals there.  It was short drive to downtown & easy access to the freeways.  Lynlie was very helpful in providing tips on places to see & eat.  It was great to be able to sleep in while my husband likes to get up early so he just closed the bedroom door.  And the extra bathroom came in handy too.
7973357,52187609,2015-10-26,36166730,Vishwajeet,Very beautiful house. Calm and quiet neighborhood. Really enjoyed my stay. 
7973357,52850836,2015-11-02,31373390,Amanda,"This place is amazing! For the first time the home felt even bigger than it looked in the photos! Such cute decorations and homily feel! The neighborhood was also too cute! 
I would come stay here ever time I visited Austin with a group of friends!"
3230604,15226695,2014-07-05,16542171,Andrew,"This is an excellent location with a perfect view of the lake. Accommodations couldn't be better; very cool house, architecturally. Flexible hosts and ultra-welcoming. "
3230604,38667164,2015-07-17,2993715,Christina,We booked this home last minute while we were visiting in Austin to escape from the city. Kimberly was quick to respond to any questions and was extremely welcoming. She made sure we were right at home. Our stay was absolutely fantastic! The house was very clean and secluded and had all of the necessities needed for our getaway. The pool was a nice added luxury. I would definitely stay here again and hope to do so in the near future. 
3230604,38801973,2015-07-18,38582560,Jessica,"Place was fantastic!! Really beautiful in person. The pool and patio were perfect for some summer hangout. The lake access was great, and our host was even gracious enough to help us carry the kayaks! Will definitely book again."
3230604,38960539,2015-07-19,38579146,April,This is a wonderful place to stay! It looks exactly like pictures. We found the apartment very clean and inviting. Due to unforeseen circumstances we ended up having to check in much later than anticipated but the hosts were very flexible and accommodating. We were hoping for more of a view of Lake Travis from the patio; we had to peek through the trees to catch a glimpse of the lake. The greenery and pool view were still very enjoyable. Bob Wentz park is just down the street as is the Oasis and the Oasis Brewery. We've already talked about planning a longer stay so we can enjoy all the area has to offer.
3230604,39102758,2015-07-20,24602142,Stacey,Host was very accommodating. Always got back to me in a timely manner. The area of the stay looked exactly like the pictures on the site. Very clean home. The deck with the pool was very relaxing. Wish we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this gorgeous stay to anyone! All in all amazing.
3230604,39441167,2015-07-23,35108792,Shelly,"100 % happy & satisfied with communication, flexibility, kindness and property/ammenities!!
Will be returning, and returning, and returning ..."
3230604,50891724,2015-10-15,37849294,Jeane,"I, my husband and father-in-law stayed here.  It is in the beautiful Hill Country, about 20 minutes outside of downtown Austin.  The view was amazing.  It was wonderful to be able to walk down to the lake.  As far as the home, everything was beautiful and modern, and our host was great and informative.  I highly recommend!"
3230604,50975732,2015-10-16,28311888,Kerri,"This was a great place to stay! Off the beaten path and private, it felt like the perfect get away. The apartment was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the pool was a great place to hang out in the sun! 

Eric was really nice and made sure we had everything we needed. They also let us stay late and were really flexible with check-in / check-out times.

I'd highly recommend staying here."
3230604,51099897,2015-10-17,46593206,Zain,"The place was great, along with the neighborhood. Kimberly had great communication. Everything was fantastic "
3230604,51366048,2015-10-19,5669936,Martha,"This is a great place to stay. The house is beautiful, the view is amazing, and the quiet spot in the heart of the lake community could not be any more peaceful. Kimberly and Eric were silent hosts, but available - the perfect combination to make you feel at home in a new place."
3230604,51668329,2015-10-22,45951527,Crissy,"This gorgeous little get away was just what the doctor ordered! After an extremely stressful and wonderful week I married my very best friend. We had prepaid a honeymoon in Mexico. My passport never came. The vacation was non refundable and lost most of our honeymoon money. 
I found this little treasure on Airbnb. If you are looking for a get away or just a bit of peace and quiet this is the place to stay. The house is literally on the lake and you have a very private pool! We expect to return very soon.
The COOPER'S :)"
3230604,51869543,2015-10-24,5460764,Trace,Kimberly and Erik's place was great.  Everything in the place was new and sleek.  It provided me a serene place to work and also easily commute into Austin for meetings.  I highly recommend staying at their place.  I would definitely like to come back.  
3230604,52141138,2015-10-26,26315879,Christian,"Kimberly and Erik's condo was great. It's newly finished, great amenities, and tucked away with a private pool. They are ideal host as they were silent but prompt with any needs or requests. Highly recommend!"
3230604,52934189,2015-11-02,46651498,Donald,"The place was clean, stylish, and comfortable. The hosts were accommodating and nice."
3230604,53023317,2015-11-03,47576101,Claudia,"Kimberly was a great host! The process went very smoothly. The place was very well kept, nicely decorated and situated in a gorgeous part of the hill country. I highly recommend booking this location and working with Kimberly. "
739819,3815545,2013-03-18,4807788,Eric,"Mike is a great host. We all had a crazy week at SXSW and the loose, chill vibe at this house was a welcome about-face from the madness downtown. The backyard is amazing for coffee-sipping mornings. There were 8 of us at the house and it was more than enough space. "
3294079,20512776,2014-09-30,18524564,Mandy,"Isabel was a spectacular host!  She left me to my own devices after giving me the key, but was available when I needed her.  The space was well-maintained and charming - a definite zen zone for me.   "
3294079,23990848,2014-12-16,20026894,Matthias,"Hi! The Kasbah was great and the perfect spot for me. I stayed there for 8 weeks and was doing research at UT Austin during the time. I really liked it a lot. The house is close to South Congress and a bike was included which allowed me to transfer to Downtown and UT easily. The buses are quite frequent as well and bring you to downtown in around 15 minutes. The area is very nice and there is a free swimming pool (Big stacy pool, 30m lanes) which is even heated in winter! One thing that might be bothering for some people is the heating situation. As it can be very cold in winter, be prepared for cold nights even inside, but Isabel tried to adjust the heating as good as possible and was a very nice host all in all! The heating is the only thing that might be a bit disturbing but I still give 5 stars as I really like the overall experience!"
3294079,28249025,2015-03-21,8763586,Curtis,"Isabel was great with communication while I was making my reservation and then tremendously accommodating after I'd made my decision, arranging for a key to be ready for my late arrival and pushing back my check-out to work around my departing flight. And while the listing of the suite is completely accurate, Isabel still made a point of clarifying certain details during the booking process. (For instance: reminding me that it didn't have a private kitchen.) The suite was ideal for my needs during SXSW, offering a very comfortable bed and great bathroom facilities outfitted with plenty of nice linens. If I had more time for grocery shopping during my stay, I would've definitely stocked the mini-fridge with purchases from the nearby River City Market (which is definitely worth checking out). Given the house's age, it's not surprising that it's prone to the occasional creak or odd sound emanating from the pipes. So, if you're a particularly light sleeper, you might want to consider packing earplugs. All told, the suite is great value in one of the best neighbourhoods in Austin. I'd definitely consider staying again."
3294079,33651958,2015-05-31,26631723,Teresa,"The studio was very comfortable. I did not meet Isabel, but she communicated with me via  email before my arrival about acquring the keys. Ester, who lives in the adjacent part of the property, was very, very helpful when I needed some help obtaining some items. She was quite friendly but also respected my privacy. The neighborhood is good for people who enjoy the South Congress restaurant and entertainment scene. Yet the location of the studio is off the major tourist area, allowing for some time away from the tourists."
8634046,50232155,2015-10-10,45522723,Jeremy,Nice place to stay. Host was very friendly and accommodating. 
5691489,33836768,2015-06-01,33163052,Jeff,Listing was accurate. Host was friendly and showed the whole house in deep detail. 
5691489,43081537,2015-08-17,31249489,Vanessa,"This was a great property in an amazing location. It is exactly as described, and looks even better than the pictures. 

We will definitely be using this listing again if we are back in the area. 

Thank you very much for opening the doors of your home.
"
5691489,46570111,2015-09-11,12334657,Kelly,The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5691489,51281225,2015-10-19,32933593,Ashley,"The host was nice and the house was cute and cozy and accommodated our group of 11 comfortably when it came to bed space and common rooms. However, the actual house is not as nice as the pics and though the view was decent, seeing a very small sliver of the lake far far FAR off in the distance only from the one third floor balcony hardly qualifies an ""amazing view of Lake Travis"" as stated in the listing. Also, I feel if you are advertising your rental for up to 12 people, the kitchen should be stocked for that many people, which it was not. The coffee maker didn't work and there were enough utensils for MAYBE 5 people for one meal. We ended up having to buy paper plates, plastic utensils, garbage bags, paper towels, salt/pepper, a large enough pan to cook on, and aluminum bowls, as well as toilet paper and hand soup for the bathrooms. Another issue, our check-in time was 3:00 p.m., but when we arrived at 5:00, the cleaning lady was still there. We let it go and told her we'd go grocery shopping so she could finish up, which she said she would in about 30 minutes. We returned at 6:15 to find here still there. SHE WAS THERE CLEANING UNTIL 7:30...4 1/2 hours after check in time. We ended up kicking her out eventually, despite the house not being finished. In short, it's a nice little place for the price and it is close to everything you would need, but if you choose to rent here, don't expect that ""lake view"" and be prepared to stock the kitchen yourself. I would possible rent here again, but only if everything else was booked up."
5691489,52051752,2015-10-26,12394346,Soluto,"We really enjoyed our time at the house. It was clean fully stocked with all the things one would need for a stay. Although it was raining the weekend that we stayed, the house in and of itself was enough to keep us entertained with the awesome game room, tvs, and sound system. 

Would definitely recommend."
966284,19961568,2014-09-21,3208450,Brent,Condo was very nice and close to the downtown area. Mike was extremely helpful and responsive with all of our needs! Great pool area!
966284,20900656,2014-10-07,19737564,Alexandra,"We stayed here for ACL and it was perfect! My boyfriend and I were there with another couple and we each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Very nice amenities and balcony with a great view of the festival and park. Mike and Kareem were both very sweet and helpful in accommodating us. Trust me, this was way nicer than staying in a hotel! The building was also a block away from whole foods and all of the restaurants and bars, :)"
966284,21284737,2014-10-14,20021819,Perri,"The host was very accommodating, answering questions in a timely manner, and even asking if he could get us anything in advance of our arrival. The condo was in a beautiful high rise building on the same block as the BEST WHOLE FOODS EVER. The place was comfortable for 4 people and we had a wonderful stay overall ! "
966284,21731074,2014-10-22,15443217,Erin,"I booked Mike's Airbnb Unit for two professionals (Yani and Edwin) coming in from Los Angeles to do a photo shoot for a television show that is filming in Austin.  Both Yani and Edwin were very pleased with both their accommodations and the host, Mike.  They said it was much better than staying in a hotel and they would book it again if coming into Austin for business or pleasure.  Great job, Mike!  I will be sure to use your place again when booking film and television professionals who are visiting Austin.  Thank you!"
966284,21964598,2014-10-27,21810830,Anne,Excellent care was taken to provide an amazing spot for my out of town guests. Thank you! Wonderful location! 
966284,22049681,2014-10-28,11155082,Riquet,Loved staying here. The guys helping were very nice and informative! The place was very clean and beautiful. It's also a block away from 6th street and the original whole foods.  I definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.
966284,22330746,2014-11-03,5155358,Djordje,Great place. Helpful hosts. Highly recommended.
966284,22645781,2014-11-11,20665706,Juan,"The host was professional and easy at the same time. The place is sharp and exactly like the photos. I was emailed a PDF with all the info of the area and the apt. I was met personally to give me the key and a walk through. There is a whole foods on the corner and a diner across from that. Great experience over all, would definitely come back."
966284,23017771,2014-11-20,23429929,Chart,Listing was perfectly accurate.  Host was adequate.
966284,23471577,2014-12-01,23892579,You,nice place. clean and good location.   also the host is really a good guy
966284,25123868,2015-01-07,19594958,Suzanne,"We enjoyed staying in DT Austin at the Spring Condominium Towers.
Gorgeous views and the apartment was very clean and just as pictured.  Since we stayed for a month, we had enough down time to really enjoy the excellent entertainment center provided; included every cable channel available, Netflix, Hulu+, etc.  And so nice to be only a mile or two...or a walk, from most everything.  There's a new BBQ joint, Terry Black's, within walking distance (or a three minute drive) that's getting rave reviews (count me as one of them), Whole Foods is a couple minute walk and you could easily stay here without a car.  Light sleepers might be bothered by the railroad tracks nearby; we mitigated the sounds with white noise machines and earplugs.  Very friendly building with great services and nice neighbors.  We will return."
966284,25570738,2015-01-19,1662105,Stephanie,"Pros:
-Great condo. Those views! 
-Great host. Very helpful and accommodating
-Great location. I love that this was so control and close to Whole Foods! Bonus!
-Parking!
-Hair dryer

Cons:
-One of the bedrooms faces the train tracks and it cruises by almost every half hour throughout the night. I am a light sleeper, so I didn't end up getting much sleep during out stay here.
-Really slow wifi. Wasn't able to work in the condo, had to go to the Starbucks around the corner which was a bummer."
966284,25665464,2015-01-22,20535112,Kameryn,The space was perfect for my CEO and coworker to stay in while they were in Austin for business. Mike was super helpful in getting everything setup and the space was exactly like they stated! I will definitely recommend this to others!
966284,26067333,2015-02-02,1656045,Conor,"Great location 10 minutes walk to downtown, right next to Whole Foods flag ship store.  Really modern, new and clean place.  Host replied really quickly to any questions.  Only downside was train and construction near-by was a little noisy."
966284,26258633,2015-02-08,26046214,Michael,Stunning - A beautiful pad with outstanding views. Absolutely loved it and thanks to Mike and team.
966284,26689648,2015-02-17,26187035,Scarlet,"The location is great, except for all the construction taking place nearby (bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper). Beautiful apartment that is a nice size and well-furnished. Super close to whole foods and a bunch of other bars and restaurants on West 6th. Great spot!"
966284,26927403,2015-02-22,18484429,Brandon,"Rick meet me at the condo to let me in, show me around and made feel completely at home!  The condo was in amazing condition - exactly what we were hoping for.  And it's in an amazing part of town.  We enjoyed walking to Whole Foods or many other restaurants for meals and shopping."
966284,52203884,2015-10-27,17649830,Simon,"Great location. Easy walking distance of downtown and all Austin has to offer. Well equipped, comfortable apartment. 
Only downside was the proximity to the train track so keep that in mind if you're a light sleeper."
1483284,7337182,2013-09-16,5598866,Liza,"Pam's townhouse is exactly as advertised--comfortable, attractive, conveniently located. We really enjoyed living there and Pam was an attentive and responsive host. The house has a well equipped kitchen which we took advantage of, a small pool to cool off in, parking, cozy beds and plenty of bathrooms. Our family really enjoyed our stay there."
1483284,10918422,2014-03-13,1165320,Nichole,"We loved staying at Pam's place during SXSW. It was close enough to downtown to ride the single gear bikes provided but far enough away to be quiet. Also, it's as close to a hotel as you can get. Super clean and appears to not really be lived in other than AirBnB people. The door lock is electronic which is very convenient for weird arrival times. Pam was awesome and flexible. She even left us a bowl of fruit. Great space and great owner!"
1483284,11015916,2014-03-17,5363607,Victor,Pams place was amazing!!! Very spacious and in a great location that allowed me to get to and from all the sxsw action very easily!! Hope to be able to stay here for future trips to austin.
1483284,12278924,2014-04-28,5174303,Brian,"Pam's place is very welcoming as well as located in the heart of all Austin has to offer. My wife and I really enjoyed the cleanliness and having all the comforts and amenities of our own home. Pam was always available to assist if we needed anything, but was also hands off to let us enjoy her place.  I would definitely stay @ Pam's again if I am in need of Austin accommodations in the future. If you need a place in Austin you should book Pam's ASAP before someone beats you to it!"
1483284,20032166,2014-09-22,20369502,Steven,"Fantastic place.  Modern,convenient, clean, and provided a well thought through guest experience for us right down to small details like coffees and local artisan soaps.   Access to the adjacent pool made for another nice feature on humid Austin days especially since Barton Springs was closed for our visit. Also roof deck was great for relaxing with a great view of downtown Austin. Pam was always accessible to answer our questions.  Local neighborhood had lots of options for dining all within a close walk.   All in all a great experience and we will be back!!!   "
1483284,21602619,2014-10-20,21482425,Jeanne,"My husband and I spent three days at Pam's SoCo condo and the stay was perfect in every respect. First of all, it was so easy, great communication  with Pam, but there wasn't really that much need for back and forth. getting there and 'checking in' was a breeze. The condo itself has a great location in a nice neighborhood, is immaculately maintained, has very nice quality furnishings and linens ; absolutely nothing more we could have wanted. This was our third trip this year to Austin to visit our son who moved there.  On prior visits we've stayed at the Steven Austin Intercontinental, which is a lovely hotel, but we won't be going back! The space we had on this trip made the stay so relaxing, loved the ability to hang out in between doing things. (Hanging out in a hotel room isn't much fun!)  Love the roof deck with its view of beautiful downtown Austin! Pam, we'll be back!"
1483284,22225062,2014-11-02,13030873,George,"Pam is a pleasure, there if needed but making sure you're ok if not needed.
Her place is nice, exactly as advertised. Great location, near to downtown but far enough away to be quiet. We would definitely come back when visiting Austin."
1483284,26042568,2015-02-02,9430004,Dennis,"     We spent the month of January, 2015 at this condo.  It is a beautiful, modern condo.   It was spotlessly clean.   The door is opened with a code so there was no running around to get a key. 
      The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan, utensil that you may need.  There is a toaster, blender and a keurig coffee maker.  Everything is in like new condition.  There is everything that you need to keep the place clean while you are there. 
     There is a computer desk in the upstairs foyer that was stocked with pens, pads, scotch tape, mailing tape, scissors, paper clips, stapler.  This was where we set up our laptop and it was so convenient to have a computer station similar to what we have at home.  
     It was cold part of the month and we often enjoyed the fireplace.  There are plenty of towels and linens.  The wifi connection worked well.  The washer and dryer are new and top of the line.  
     Pam was always available if I texted her and satisfied any requests that I had.  I asked for a garage door remote and she had it for me within 48 hours, even though she had to purchase it new.   She would check in with a text every once in a while, just enough but not too much.
     Pam has information in the condo to help you figure out where things are in the neighborhood.  She has a laminated map highlighting restaurants, coffee shops, music venues.  She also told us of some other music venues when she heard that was an interest of ours.
     I had hoped that I would be able to leave the car in the garage and take the public transit but that was not possible due to the way the Austin public transit works.  This worked out okay as my husband was able to walk to tennis at the South Austin Tennis Center and that left me the car.  
     You can see the stairs in the picture.  We chuckled that a ""stair stepper"" came with the condo as the parking is on the ground level, up stairs to the living/kitchen/dining area, up another set of stairs to the bedrooms and then up a 4th stair to the rooftop patio.    Pam had made sure that we were aware of the stairs before we signed up and they were no problem for us but a point to be aware of if you have any physical limitation.
     Overall, I can not say enough good stuff about this condo.  Thank you Pam for a great introduction to Austin!

4296935,25766910,2015-01-25,21375410,Barbara,"Molly, Tom and Duke (their loving family dog) immediately welcomed me into their wonderful home. Their energy and uplifting personalities made me feel like I was a family friend. They really know exactly how to take care of your every need. The room was extremely relaxing and inviting and there was no question that every detail was thought of. I had a private bathroom and bedroom to have a good nights rest with cozy sheets and a little den in which to watch television if I wanted or sip a latte in the morning. There is no question Molly and Tom are welcoming hosts and will share with you any tips or questions you may have of the Austin area. It's location is perfect, it's close to the airport and close to highways in case you need to travel to San Antonio.  I would highly recommend their warm home and atmosphere!! It's a A++ in my books!!"
4296935,26090874,2015-02-02,23072225,Caron,"I can't think of enough good things to say about Molly and her place. The room was perfect with a super comfy bed, sitting area, bathroom and even a sound machine in the bedroom. The bedroom had water and granola bars. The bathroom had any toiletries we could have forgotten and the sitting area came equipped with a coffee maker! 

Molly and her husband were super welcoming. We were in town for a wedding so we didnt get to spend a whole lot of time with them but every interaction was lovely! If we are back in Austin and need a place we would definitely want to come back! "
4296935,27062624,2015-02-24,4315045,Lauren,"Molly is awesome and so friendly! We had such a lovely time and were very well taken care of. Molly has set up a bunch of toiletries and a nice little snack basket (which we totally raided and was such a ""nice to have"") for guests. We had a very, very comfortable stay. Depending on what you are up to Austin, they are ~15 min drive to South Congress and about a 20 min drive to downtown. "
4296935,27928294,2015-03-15,26736504,Dane,We had a great stay with Molly and her husband. The room and living area was clean and neat and we really appreciated the small snacks and drinks. 
4296935,28015913,2015-03-16,27707690,Lucas,"Molly sent me an additional message as soon as the room was confirmed to nail down a check-in time. She also touched base the day prior to our stay. Since this was our first time using AirBnB, we really enjoyed the close communication. The space was was wonderful with a comfy bed and a sitting area with two chairs outside the room. The bathroom was clean and adjacent to the bedroom, and the house was quiet. The neighborhood has great highway access and a driveway for parking. We couldn't have had a better experience!"
4296935,28464040,2015-03-24,12528893,Sam,My girlfriend and I stayed with Molly and Tom for a week during SXSW. Their place was great for us as we could come and go easily and they never made it feel like we were disturbing them. The house is beautiful and the snacks and coffee as well as bathroom supplies were such a treat! We would happily recommend them to anyone visiting Austin!
4296935,32239368,2015-05-16,5391886,Jared,We just needed a place to sleep after our late flight got in before driving down to Gruene. Our flight was scheduled to get in late on a weeknight but that wasn't a problem. The snacks were a nice touch! Quick and easy to get here from the airport. Overall a  very pleasant night. Molly was a great host and stayed up to let us in. 
4296935,40438189,2015-07-31,32717656,Stefanie,"Molly was a great host, she reached out to us a few days before arrival to give us directions and was very accommodating. The location was about ten minutes from downtown in a quiet neighborhood. The house was beautiful and extremely clean- the bed is SUPER comfortable as well!"
4296935,47821047,2015-09-21,42407280,Sandy,"Thank you Molly and Tom for the great first Airbnb experience!  I was a little nervous about it.  But it worked out great.  It was great having so much space of my own to enjoy.  The bedroom, private bath, and loft area with big screen tv was ideal for me.  You were both so very accommodating and so easy.  By the end, I kind of just felt like I was staying with a friend.  I would definitely stay with you again.  Thank you! "
4296935,49922360,2015-10-07,44386202,Stephanie,"Molly and her husband were great hosts! You feel right at home immediately. Her home is beautiful and Molly sets you up with snacks and the wifi password for you, ready to use. She even has a basket in the bathroom filled with anything that you might have forgotten. The location is great. Not too far from downtown/soco and a target is located nearby if you happen to need anything. Molly and Tom are quite the funny couple so you'll get a couple of good laughs while you're there. You will not go wrong by staying here! "
5498480,30141258,2015-04-18,28255541,Salo,"My experience staying with thuc was great! It was like staying at an old friends' house- she was super hospitable, helpful in finding my way around austin, and the room was clean and neat. I would definitely recommend!"
5498480,31861485,2015-05-10,32802676,Paul,Thuc was absolutely the best host. The room was awesome and her house was lovely. Her roommates were great. But even better was her hospitality. She made my stay so easy and comfortable. She went above and beyond for me. One of the best people I have ever met. I lucked out staying with her.
5498480,33035424,2015-05-24,33536857,Helen,Thuc was the nicest host. The house was very conveniently located and in a great neighborhood. She made us feel very welcome and gave us freedom to move around the apartment. The room was great and spacious. The bed was even better. I would definitely recommend staying with Thuc! 
6653259,39800168,2015-07-26,36829310,Kelli,We enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean and welcoming. There was a few great places to eat within walking distance and it was quick to get anywhere we wanted. Rhonda was very professional. Answering in questions we had quickly. We would use this site again and stay at the Watson house again if it were available.
5559899,28236045,2015-03-20,29315593,Mallory,"It was a pleasure staying with Stephanie and her boyfriend Joe. They were both super nice and helpful throughout our entire stay. I had thought prior to arriving, the room was a basement room and it was not a basement, but a first level room - which was fine! There home is just as cute as it looks in the pictures. They had two cats who were so friendly and gave us good entertainment and love while we were there as well. I would visit them again if I was back in Austin! "
3594213,20915905,2014-10-07,20628852,P. Ivan,Kim's house worked out perfectly for our group of six. The house was clean and comfortable and even bigger than expected and in a great location close to downtown Austin and the airport. It worked perfect for what we needed and Kim was a great host. Even left us a almond milk for our coffee and some treats for us. Just wish we had time to drink the wine she left for us! I would definitely go back to stay there on my next trip to Austin!
8615089,49567865,2015-10-04,33962670,Baron,"The room was great, she had everything ready and even left me a good list of stuff to go do! Her place is a short uber ride to anywhere which was a big plus. Highly recommended!"

8615089,51095555,2015-10-17,46482138,Annette,Loved the location and Abigail's vibe. The room was comfortable and even right by a bus line if need be. It was just right for one person.

8615089,51516221,2015-10-20,44917778,Ben,Abigail was really friendly and accommodating. Gave me tips on what to do and see aswell as made me feel welcome!
8615089,51678198,2015-10-22,46778991,Charles," When you'r finished after a day of sight-seeing, shopping or dining downtown. Abigail's Airbnb is the perfect spot to come to.
 Just a few minutes from downtown and close to local bus stops this beautiful home is filled with Austin charm.
 Abigail was a wonderful hostess, Who made my stay in her wonderful city fun and memorable.
 If I ever return to Austin, I hope Abigail has a spare room open...."
8615089,51797505,2015-10-24,44604412,Jesy,"Such a wonderful first experience with Air Bnb! Abby was so welcoming, and helpful! She is adorable, and made me feel right at home!"
8615089,51947179,2015-10-25,36133479,Sunghyun,It was a cozy and well prepared house for guests. I liked the location and price.
8615089,52563987,2015-10-30,47662012,Peter,Abigail was very open and welcoming.  The room was perfect for what I was looking for.  the leather couch in the photo is very comfy.   She had a couple friends over and she was dog watching the cutest thing ever little bean. Which was nice to interact with her friends.   Then actually the next day I hung out with her next airbnb guest!
8615089,52875743,2015-11-02,9974382,Leslie,Abbeh was a great host! She's down to chill and chat when she's around but also gives you plenty of space to yourself. Her place had a super laid-back vibe and is in a great spot. I was able to do a lot of walking around in SoCo. The bed was clean and comfy! 
8615089,53029768,2015-11-03,47543784,Eric,Abigail was a great host! Everything was neat and clean in my room. She offered food and beverage to me. I would definitely recommend you stay at her b and b next time you are in Austin. You will be welcomed with the utmost hospitality.
539839,3346985,2013-01-14,4577729,Erik,Simple - clean - relaxing.
539839,3400180,2013-01-23,3119688,Jenn,"We had a quiet, peaceful stay. The inside of the duplex is very clean. Towels were provided which was very thoughtful. The bedrooms could each sleep 2 people, and one more could comfortably be in the livingroom if needed. Overall, a great place. "
539839,3691712,2013-03-04,5164435,Conan,"We had a great time at Sheila's property! The property was clean and very quiet! It is also in a very nice location in Austin, situated a short drive from downtown and to/from the airport.

There was lots of natural light in the duplex which was very nice! Overall, it was clean and comfortable!

Sheila was very accommodating, and made us feel welcome. She was always available to answer any questions or help us if needed."
539839,3731549,2013-03-09,5200790,Julie,"My husband, baby, two cats and I stayed in Sheila's duplex for a week while our own house was being painted. Sheila was a gracious, friendly and accommodating hostess. For example, when I had trouble sleeping due to light coming in the windows at night, she found and hung some temporary curtains which really helped (the shear curtains pictured in the bedrooms were not present; instead the windows had wooden blinds). However, the home is in need of renovation. For example, the linoleum in the main living area an hall is torn and worn in several spots, and the kitchen and bathroom could definitely use an update. There is no dishwasher or microwave. One of the beds was very squeeky, and kept us awake at night; we switched to the other bed. We enjoyed the large sliding glass doors during the day, but at night the main living area was pretty dark. The baby enjoyed the nearby park, and the cats were very comfortable. There was parking for our cars and Sheila let us use her washer/dryer, much appreciated. "
539839,3813106,2013-03-18,33879,Michael,"Sheila was a very accommodating and generous host. When you hear about about southern hospitality, you can expect that from this host. Very nice bright house. Tons of windows and a clean well kept place. Loved our stay and would come back next year! :)"
539839,4360326,2013-04-30,4283666,Maria,"Sheila was very hospitable.  The place was as advertised -- clean, comfortable and quiet. I would definitely stay there again and Sheila was very responsive to any questions.  "
539839,4603053,2013-05-14,6137838,Tiffany,"Cozy and clean, this was the perfect place for two couples. And the fresh eggs were a great addition to our stay! Quick drive to downtown and close to the airport. The location is close enough to attractions while still being far enough away from the noise and hustle to be peaceful and comfy."
539839,4698621,2013-05-21,2464613,Christy,Her place was perfect for us.  She was an awesome hostess and we hope to stay there again!
539839,5618295,2013-07-08,2682863,Paulina,"Sheila was incredibly accommodating. Even though she wasn't feeling well, she helped us get into a room one of our party locked themselves out of! Very gracious! Had a wonderful time and the location was great!"
539839,6930956,2013-08-31,2772556,Melissa,"My husband and I stayed in Sheila's duplex apartment while looking for a permanent place to live in the city. 

Sheila was a great host! She really helped us out with advice about Austin neighborhoods, places to go, and things to consider during our move. 

The central location was very convenient with a car. The apartment was kept up pretty well and had everything we really needed while getting our feet in a new city. "
539839,8109534,2013-10-16,5894247,Giovanna,"We stayed at this place for ACL. The location could not have been better, minutes away from Zilker Park. It's such a home-like place. A true home away from home. 

Sheila is an amazing host and takes care of everything. I forgot my toothbrush and found spare ones in the bathroom for me and my other friends. The bedrooms are perfect and the beds are truly comfortable. We had everything we needed. 

I look very much forward to next year so I can hopefully stay with Sheila again, I truly apprecciate what she provides for her guests and would totally reccomend. "
539839,8367704,2013-10-28,5317979,Dave,"Simple and clean. The location is very convenient, just minutes from Zilker Park, South Congress, etc. Appreciated the natural products stocked. No overhead lights in the main living area, so at night or on a rainy day it can feel dark. Central A/C worked great. Sheila was very hospitable."
539839,8811281,2013-11-19,4519587,Heather,Shelia was a wonderful host. The apartment was clean and well suited for our needs. We would gladly stay again next time we are in town. 
539839,8976843,2013-11-30,6736815,Vin,We loved our visit to Austin during the thanksgiving holiday and our stay at Sheila's place was very comfortable. She was very helpful in giving us tips on where to take our kids and had a list of places to visit. Her place was nice and clean and our kids had good fun. The neighborhood was also nice and safe. Plenty of stores close by for grocery shopping. Hope to visit sometime again.  
539839,10709802,2014-03-03,12602810,Anthony,"My friends and I enjoyed staying at Sheila's place in Austin, which is conveniently located.  Sheila was a very friendly and accommodating host and made our stay a pleasant one."
539839,21821826,2014-10-25,800779,Carmelita,"Location is great and Sheila was a very accommodating host. However, I was disappointed the apt doesn't look like the photos at all. All of the things that make it look cozy are gone like curtains and rods, things on walls, plants, some change in furniture and soft furnishings, etc...so it looks very diff than what I booked. It wouldn't have been such a big deal if I was just there for 2 nights but I was there for 11 days with my family and I carefully chose a place that looked like a cozy home. That's not what we got. I would def recommend if you are just using as a crash pad and are not looking for any frills as again, it's a great location to get anywhere in Austin."
539839,22352701,2014-11-04,2464613,Christy,"Sheila's place is perfect for us.  Everything about it.  Location, amenities and space.  Sheila is a great hostess and communication with her is easy. "
539839,31477444,2015-05-05,5003760,Coco Loco Jewelry,"Sheila's place was great. It is clean, comfortable and convenient. I would definitely recommend her home to anyone looking to stay in a nice quiet neighborhood thats only about 10 min away from DT Austin. She was very responsive to our needs and was always easy to communicate with. Thanks Sheila :)"
539839,32111074,2015-05-14,10676176,Jeremy,"This is one of our favorite places to stay in Austin.  I believe we've stayed there 3 or 4 years in a row.  Sheila is sweet and accommodating and we love staying here.  Check-in is a breeze, communication is great and the neighborhood has easy access to the highway and is located near many of the places we go to in Austin.

We always have a great experience and would absolutely stay again next time. Great AirBnB experience, Thanks!"
539839,37359223,2015-07-06,26184871,Anh,Sheila is very responsive! Her place is very cozy and close to many destinations in Austin. The freeway is nearby so it makes a big difference.  Would def recommend her place to my friends. 
539839,37870585,2015-07-11,34943762,Josh,"We would absolutely not recommend staying here.  We were excited to stay in this ""comfortable family vacation"" house.  Unfortunately, after traveling half way across the country, we arrived late in the evening with our toddler at a dirty, run down and uninhabitable place.  Photos are staged and the decor has changed.  Floor is dirty with many holes in the linoleum.  There are tripping hazards between the hall way and each room as well as a cracked tile in the bathroom.  Bathtub is dirty, rusted and moldy. The shower curtain is covered in red scum.  Needless to say, we did not shower - let alone give our daughter a bath.  We have never seen such a vile bathtub in our lives.  She clearly did not take a photo of the bathtub for a good reason.  The windows do not have seals.  The bed makes an unbelievable amount of noise with the slightest turn.  There were multiple dead and living bugs.  My wife got out of bed in the morning with multiple spider bites. There was a dead moth on the floor.  I don't know where the other reviews came from - I wish someone would have been honest and I could have spared my family from this place.  We had planned on staying one month but left after one restless night - as soon as it became light.  We drove to a hotel so we could bathe and sleep.  My toddler (who always sleeps through the night) woke up complaining she could not breathe.  My wife and I also were stuffed up and nauseous after breathing the dust and mold.  We also listened to a rooster crow for about an hour before the sun came up (which would have woke us if we would have been able to sleep.)  We had considered not leaving a review, but decided we did not want another family to go through the same dreadful ordeal."
539839,39104270,2015-07-20,22007932,Douchka,"Sheila was a great host, on top of things, and very responsive to our messages back and forth. Her place was very welcoming, charming, and had a home feel that we all loved! And as a bonus, we enjoyed evening tea made with fresh lemon balm from her garden;)

We had a great time in Austin, and part of the experience was definitely staying at her place. We'll do it again!"
539839,40018513,2015-07-27,18109866,Martie,"Sheila sent us an email to let us know her friend had taken their art.  

Shiela also requested a later check in time as her current guests had some confusion about Check out and were still  occupying the house. Luckily we were not in a hurry. So it wasn't a problem. 

The house itself looked almost nothing like the pictures. Most of the accessories that were 
in the pictures were not there. As well as other furnishings, rugs, plants etc. 

The one bed was so bad we had to take the mattress off to sleep on the floor. 

The place was ok we slept okay.  

The roosters next door crows all day.neighbor hood was far from down town. It didn't appear very secure. 

Shiela came to the shining rescue when we needed a baby sitter. For that she gets a gold star!!  "
539839,40527233,2015-07-31,31625333,Connor,"Two friends and I (traveling with a dog) rented this house for three nights, and it was a pleasant experience from the moment we stepped in the door. The house is very comfortable and cozy, conveniently located, and usually very quiet. Sheila was very fast to respond to our request and to facilitate check-in.

I hope to stay here again the next time we're in Austin (:"
539839,41002048,2015-08-03,34873285,Alex,"Sheila was a very accommodating host. The house was nice and clean upon arrival with all the necessities provided. House has a keypad to let you inside which is very convenient-no worries about how to meet up to receive keys. Sheila was great about being quickly available and responds promptly. We had contact with her for both the check in and check out time, with her making sure we had no questions for either. It was a very smooth stay and I would definitely recommend her as a host to anyone!"

539839,50125827,2015-10-09,21508729,Christian,"Sheila was very fast to respond to my initial request and to all other forms of communication.  When I arrived, she had left me a pleasant welcome note and had set me up with sets of clean towels placed in each bedroom.  Sheila has taken great care for her guests and even has cute chalkboard notes placed around her rental to help her guests feel at home."
539839,50615819,2015-10-13,33775893,Jonathan,"Everything was exactly as expected. Sheila did a great job of setting up the place, so we could arrive and easily check in."

539839,51467480,2015-10-20,6990094,Aaron,"Our time at Sheila's was fantastic! It was my wife, our 9 month old son and myself and we had a blast! Her place was clean and we were able to put the baby to sleep in one room while we watched movies in the other with no risk of waking the baby. Also the location in general is great for getting to any number of fun places around town. Everything was literally 5 to 10 minutes away. "
1425971,10901653,2014-03-12,499281,Hans,"Amy's house is amazing.

Spacious with tons of amenities!
Great kitchen, 2 nice living areas, loads of TVs.
Great sound system throughout the house.
Huge backyard with Pool, Hot Tub and BBQ.
Rooms are spacious and the place has high end fixtures. Big bathrooms, the master one also has a steam room! Which is super nice when you need to recover from a rough SXSW night!
Amy even picked us up from the airport. She prepared a list of restaurants for us and had snacks and drinks ready for us.
If you're looking for a spacious house with everything, a great host that is available and accommodating, rent this house you won't regret it. "
1425971,11066784,2014-03-18,13062678,Tanner,"This house is amazing! The backyard is incredible for entertaining with speakers multiple seating areas, ambient pool lights and waterfalls to set the mood! The interior is very open for entertaining as well with a large beautiful kitchen and second living room with large projector tv to relax after a long day. The bed rooms are great but the master bathroom takes the cake! Steam shower with 3 heads? yes please! Also the homeowner, Amy is a really nice and inviting renter. She even included a list of nearby restaurants to cheek out and left us with snacks and drinks in the fridge! A+"
1425971,28116315,2015-03-18,10268539,Christine,"Overall great experience with Amy. Good communication beforehand and tour around the apartment on arrival. Apartment was fantastic, clean, tidy, all amenities and beautiful."
1425971,30937018,2015-04-29,578668,Jerry,"Amy was delightful to work with, from our first exchange to goodbyes. The house was very much like the posting, but the back yard is really hard to convey in pictures (or words). I turned out to be fabulous for both a small-group meeting as well as a peaceful outdoor group dinner. It helped that we were lucky with Austin's weather. Amy, her place and the neighborhood were all perfect. I'd recommend her wholeheartedly. "
1425971,48650103,2015-09-27,145817,David,"Amy was a great host from the moment we checked in. She was also able to scramble and prepare the house for our very last minute trip to Austin. She gave us a great tour and even left us with some snacks and  a bottle of wine to get us started. The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The backyard with pool and hot tub is a great place to relax and unwind in the Texas sun. Great neighbourhood in a central location, would stay here again in a heartbeat! 
"
1425971,50621890,2015-10-13,29181414,Julia,"We stayed here for a few days while attending the ACL festival. Amy's home was a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the Festival. The outside area was even better than the pictures posted. We spent most of our time out there. 
Amy communicated well with us prior to arrival and welcomed us all at check in which made us all feel at home. 
Location was good, nice neighbourhood and it easy to get about using Uber. "
5640116,32010181,2015-05-12,3137771,Lincoln,"The neighborhood was great and quiet and Erica was a great host. Turnkey app was useful and the instructions were very clear. The place was clean and everything looked just like the pictures.  The area is perfect, with rolling hills and within distance of everything Austin has to offer.  We had a really nice stay and the homeowners were great by leaving us a personal note and bottle of wine!  I totally recommend staying here. :)"
5546426,28272663,2015-03-21,27924545,Melissa,"Taylor was wonderful! She had a clean, cute, simplistic place. The apartment is small but she uses the space efficiently. She had everything we needed, from lemons and limes for our drinks to stain remover to extra pillows and blankets. There were a few hiccups with scheduling and we ended up with a different checkout time than the listing. It was a little inconvenient but it didn't color my experience. Just be sure to confirm the checkout time with any airbnb because times tend to change (the hosts have lives too!) We loved the area, very close to downtown but far enough away that it's still peaceful. You can hear the neighbors upstairs walking around at times, though it didn't bother me. My fiancé and I have been considering moving to Austin and I was hoping this trip would convince him. After staying at Taylor's we're both very excited to make the journey out there. In the meantime, we'll take staying at Taylor's on vacation."
5546426,33850218,2015-06-01,25361198,Gilad,"Great little place. Clean, comfortable and in a very convenient location. Taylor is super nice and is very easy to communicate with."

Plus, the location was awesome--just a quick uber ride to ACL! We had a fantastic experience! Can't wait to Airbnb again!"
5546426,52269524,2015-10-27,33607383,Roger,Taylor was a great host!  Informative and helpful in every way.

2349236,12310065,2014-04-28,14384697,Megan,"Absolutely fantastic getaway!  The neighborhood itself is a nice respite from Austin because its green, quiet, and removed - safe too.  But then, you enter a 2 acre farm that is immaculately kept - its like you're walking through the most beautiful organic cookbook!  Not only did I eat radish seed pods right off the vine (surprisingly GREAT) but I got to hold a docile and adorable bunny!  Plus I got a tour of their chickens, geese, donkeys, aquaponics lettuce growing system, rows of edible flowers, and more, on the most amazing property.  The guest house itself is perfectly redone and has everything one might need for a restful and beautiful getaway.  The most comfortable organic mattress, a great NEW kitchen to cook in (despite the house being from the 30s - everything is renovated to a beautiful modern farmhouse/bungalow feel) and windows that open to the sounds and breeze from nature.  The owners thought of everything bc there is a white noise machine in the bedroom if you don't want to hear yard work, a neighbor's music, or animal sounds - I never turned it on though.  To boot, I got a bag of spinach, a bottle of wine and a dozen of farm fresh pastured eggs to take with me! I live in Austin and just needed a place to stay while my fiancee had his bachelor weekend at our house.  I am so glad I chose this house over the others in Travis Heights, Bouldin etc.  And SO much better than a hotel.  Dorsey and Susan, the owners could not be nicer people and are passionate about what they do - inspiring.  Highly recommend this retreat!"
2349236,12655917,2014-05-07,11441639,Amber,"Everything about HausBar Farm and Guesthouse was of top-notch quality and comfort. Dorsey greeted us with warmth and hospitality and during our days at the farm, she introduced us to the many special animals that help make this sustainable urban farm such a joy. There are many organic and local amenities that go above and beyond a typical guesthouse stay. You will want for nothing and leave with a feeling of friendship and inspiration. I highly recommend HausBar Farm and Guesthouse and will be providing a full review on (website hidden) shortly, with additional information and photographs. I will edit this review when the post is live so you can click through and learn more! 

Bottom line is that I would never stay anywhere else when visiting Austin in the future. Even if Austin isn't a destination on your radar for other reasons (the food! the beer! the music!), HausBar Farm and Guesthouse is a destination in and of itself."
2349236,13101087,2014-05-19,1999380,Steve,"A phenomenal place to stay, but also an experience that we will never forget.  The Guesthaus was wonderfully clean, while spacious and cozy at the same time.  It was set on a city farm emphasizing sustainability with chickens, ducks, rabbits and miniature donkeys out your back door.  Our hosts greeted us warmly along with fresh eggs, vegetables, and wine.  This is not a place to pass up.  It is worth a trip to Austin just to stay here."
2349236,13886010,2014-06-07,6640913,Jeremy,"We had a great stay at Dorsey and Susan's HouseBar Farm. The house they're renting out is very neatly renovated with love for details. You feel the quality craftman-/craftwomanship in the interior design while the more modern accessories (kitchen equipment, washer, dryer, sound system, fridge, ...) provide the comfort for the daily living.

Extremely happy we were about the farm itself - all the cute animals running around, the baby rabbits and baby ducks as well as the rich vegetable and flower gardens. Dorsey invited us to take full advantage of. We had our first organic cactus dish. Yummy!

Dorsey and Susan were warmly welcoming us and made us feel at home while at the same time leaving room for privacy. We would have loved to stay longer and we're very positive we'll be back."
2349236,14046752,2014-06-10,15824559,Richard,"My daughter and I enjoyed our visit to Austin--more importantly,we loved our stay at Hausbaur Farm Guesthaus.  The genuine warmth and gracious reception we received from our hosts, Dorsey and Susan, made us feel so well taken care of and ""at home""  The guesthouse, 10 minutes from downtown, is impeccably clean and oozes charm, while the chickens, rabbits and donkeys meandering outside our window added a lovely authenticity to our stay.When in  Austin, the Hausbar Farm Guesthouse will always be our home. "
2349236,14708892,2014-06-24,1668538,Megan,"Dorsey was the epitome of an excellent host. As soon as we arrived Dorsey gave us an in-depth tour of the farm and farmhouse. She gladly gave out very helpful tips and information about their animals, garden, etc.. The farmhouse was pictureque and very clean. We greatly enjoyed the wine, cheese, fresh eggs, and many other amenities that were provided. "
2349236,15362690,2014-07-07,17311495,Holly,Dorsey was wonderful and the HausFarm is truly a gem in East Austin! The guesthouse was great and had all the comforts of home and I was impressed with the amenities. Dorsey gave us a through tour of the farm and made us feel very welcome and right at home. My mom and I throughly enjoyed learning about sustainability and urban farming. The stay inspired us to eat more local and support local farmers in anyway possible and the importance of being connected with where our food comes from. We are going to try to be back very soon!   
2349236,16634088,2014-07-30,11529463,Laura,"Our stay at the HausBar Farm Guesthouse was incredible.  Dorsey was the hostess with the mostess.  My daughter loved exploring the farm and hanging with the animals and Dorsey daily.  It was a terrific learning and living experience for us all.  Thank you, Dorsey (Rosa, Julian, Paco, Gustavo and the rest of the farm family)"
2349236,18856914,2014-09-01,4744585,Mark,The house is great! Such a unique feel. You'll probably never experience something like this again so I highly recommend it! Dorsey is so friendly and it makes the experience truly special.
2349236,19163316,2014-09-07,4158535,Brad,"Dorsey is an excellent, warm, and generous host. HausBar is a special place, and look forward to working with her again soon."

The house itself is very comfortable and stocked with everything you might need - they even provided some fresh eggs from the farm and other local treats. The house is a comfortable distance from the main house and neighbors, yet close enough to observe farm life from the serene back patio. The farm is so much fun, we're making plans to start our own! The location is just minutes from the best of the eastside and central Austin. We can't wait to come back, would recommend staying here! "
2349236,20284204,2014-09-27,19297347,Lynn,Dorsey was a wonderful hostess who made our visit very comfortable 
2349236,20530803,2014-09-30,13712510,Katie,"Dorsey & the HausBar Farm are a gem in Austin.  Extremely accommodating & gracious.  The House was spotless, charming & comfortable.  The critters on the farm were highly entertaining.  It is out of quick walking distance to restaurant/bars, etc; however, it makes for a peaceful retreat and it generally takes 5-10 minutes to get downtown.  Recommend renting a car, but if not, Uber worked great for us.  "
2349236,21386574,2014-10-16,21252602,Rachel,"We're from Austin but chose Hausbar Farms for a nearby stay-cation. Dorsey was a lovely host. She generously showed us around her farm, answered all our questions, and was so accommodating to our two small children. We loved wandering through the farm and getting to spend time with the animals. The cottage is charming and comfortable, and we very much enjoyed our visit. It's such a unique experience to stay at Hausbar Farms - especially with children. We would love to come back again. "
2349236,21718085,2014-10-22,272357,Aaron And Erin,"We had a wonderful time staying at HausBar Farm. The house is beautifully restored, well-decorated and thoughtfully stocked with food and drinks (including eggs from the farm, fresh milk and butter and local beer). It was a hoot to wake up to the ducks and chickens and to see the donkeys chomping at the edges of the garden. We also enjoyed the location, on a great tree-lined street in an up-and-coming part of East Austin. Dorsey herself was lovely and gave us a tour of the farm and talked about her history in Austin and elsewhere. This is a gem of an AirBnB!"
2349236,22030961,2014-10-28,6617614,Jennifer,"The only problem I had with the Hausbar Guest House was that I didn't want to leave.  I already miss Dorsey's hospitality and lovely bungalow and my new duck, donkey, chicken, goose and bunny friends.

The house is super clean and has everything you need- wifi, cable, farm fresh eggs, organic coffee and a King Sized bed to crash in when you stumble in from the bars which are only a 5 minute cab ride away.

What more can I say?  You have autonomy if you want it and company (plenty of company!) if you need it.  Come to Austin and have an adventure (a very comfortable adventure.)

BUNNIES!"
2349236,22651577,2014-11-11,5085616,Dana,"HausBar Farm is wonderful! Dorsey is so welcoming and makes you feel like you are home. Beautiful interior and ultra comfortable furnishings. Farm fresh eggs , local milk and cheese were waiting for us, as well as her favorite local beer. You are free to wander around the farm anytime and mingle with the chickens, rabbits and my favorite Jude and Rosa , which are adorable litttle donkeys.  "
2349236,23933556,2014-12-14,6641221,Rhiannon,"We absolutely loved our stay at Hausbar Farm.  The guesthouse was such a welcoming comfortable place to stay and loved the décor.  

Everyone including the farm animals welcomed us and loved the opportunity to walk around the farm, check out the animals and local produce.  

Highly recommend anyone staying here!"
2349236,24690090,2015-01-01,25233450,Krista,"We loved the HausBar Farm! The neighborhood is conveniently located 5 mins. from downtown, but is still a quiet neighborhood at night. Dorsey was a wonderful host, and we loved meeting all the animals. Our only issue was that we never wanted to leave! We will definitely be coming back for our next Austin trip.  "
2349236,24774712,2015-01-02,24973458,Samantha,"We had a great stay. The house is wonderful - so charming and clean. It was perfect for our family of 4. Despite the bad weather, we loved visiting the farm animals. Dorsey was incredibly welcoming and we look forward to returning. "
2349236,26000065,2015-02-01,24764981,Laura,"We had a great time at our staycation here. Dorsey was there to meet us when we arrived and showed us all around the farm, and invited us to hang out with the animals and roam the farm whenever we wanted. I was not prepared for the abundance of truly adorable snuggly bunnies available for my snuggling pleasure. 

The house was the PERFECT size for a couple and was incredibly clean and thoughtfully stocked with farm goodies. The TVs and DVD player were very easy to use. 

I already want to come back! Many thanks to Dorsey and crew!

2349236,26681641,2015-02-17,5085616,Dana,"This is our second stay at HausBar Farms.  I can't say enough other than I wish we could stay there longer.  Great location, comfort and hospitality. I feel like at home when I visit. "
2349236,27015634,2015-02-23,9057221,George,"Our time at HausBar was more than amazing. The guesthouse has everything you could ever need and so much more, the property was so cool to just wonder around and Dorsey was such a great host! We really enjoyed getting to spend time with all of the animals and learning more about the property from Dorsey. We will definitely be staying here again!! "
2349236,27574260,2015-03-08,3787243,Becky,"We rented the Hausbar guest house for my daughter's first birthday party. It couldn't have been any more perfect! Our in-laws stayed there for the weekend, and we had an adorable space with a great yard to host friends and family for the party. I was able to serve brunch using eggs from the Hausbar hens, and Dorsey led a really fun and informative tour of the farm that everyone from babies to grandparents really enjoyed. My daughter was so sad when it was time to say goodbye to the baby bunnies and chickies! It's clear that Dorsey truly enjoys hosting people at the farm and she has thought of every detail to make your experience the best it can possibly be. I highly recommend Hausbar for out-of-town guests or for Austinites looking for a unique place to host a party."
2349236,28200805,2015-03-20,914624,Thomas,"Wow, we had a wonderfull time at Dorsey's place in Austin. Dorsey was the perfect host. She is such a kind person and we felt really secure and cared of all the time during our stay! Not to forget Gustavo the Goose, the dogs Kai and Olive, the two mules Rosie and Julian and all the other great pets around us. The house we lived in was fantastic, beautifull interieur design and it was a pleasure to return to it from every trip we did.

Everything was taken care of, we even had fresh eggs from the hen in the morning!

Dorsey is a wonderfull person, we had great conversations with her on the patio and her tipps for having dinner and visiting places where absolutly fabulous!

The location is also great, just three miles to the Austin city center or to several malls and locations.

When we will return to Austin next time, we will def. stay at her place again and we're looking forward to the oranges :)

So for all, who are looking for the perfect spot to stay in Austin, this is it!"
2349236,28947320,2015-04-01,3750242,Leah,We stayed here during our visit to see family and venture out to antiques week in Round Top. I can't give enough compliments to Dorsey and the farmhouse. We were welcomed with fresh flowers and the fridge stocked! It was above and beyond our expectations. The one part we wish we could have done more with is play with the animals and talk more with Dorsey about the farm. Our schedule didn't give us much free time but we definitely will be back and look forward to it! A+++++ five stars! 
2349236,29175273,2015-04-05,21642178,Rachel,"This was our second visit to Hausbar Farms, and we loved it just as much as the first time. The guest house is always beautifully appointed, and Dorsey thinks of everything her guests might need. 

Gustavo the goose and I are now fast friends, and I'm looking forward to coming to visit with him and the rest of the farm residents again soon."
2349236,29836971,2015-04-13,14457059,Nicole,"We had the most amazing time here -- everything is perfect.  Dorsey is the most gracious, warm, and welcoming host.  The house is very comfortable and inviting -- and stocked with some goodies and welcoming beers!  It's very conveniently located with easy access to downtown but sufficiently away from the hubbub of it and a world of its own.  Though we didn't spend much time in the house itself because we were always out exploring the farm -- which is an incredible space, which is set up and maintained with so much love and care given to all the animals and the garden.  Our son was delighted every time we came back to our little home away from home, and couldn't wait to play with Dorsey and all the farm animals.  We can't wait to be back!      "
2349236,30148633,2015-04-18,29870093,Suzanne,"The Guest House was great! Dorsey was great! The farm was great! It was a wonderful experience! My husband and I were especially interested in the workings of the farm and the aquaponics system, and Dorsey was always so kind to talk with us and answer all our questions. She was always available! She allowed us to taste most anything from the garden that we wanted to, and we even got the opportunity to make a beautiful and very tasty salad one evening. The guest house was very clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, and had all the supplies we could possibly need, all organic I might add, which was a really nice touch. Dorsey is very knowledgable about Austin and gave us so many great recommendations for places and restaurants to visit. We had a great time!"
2349236,31771966,2015-05-10,3021399,Sarah,"Ditto all the other 5-star reviews. The house is comfortable, spacious, and so, so neat & clean. Dorsey is knowledgable, warm, and a pleasure to talk to. Plus: BABY BUNNIES, omg."
2349236,31986946,2015-05-12,32069562,Andrew,"Can't sing enough praises for HausBar and Dorsey. The guest house is amazing, you immediately feel right at home. Dorsey is one of the most friendly people I have ever met and had everything ready and perfect for our stay, including some delicious organic treats in the kitchen! The farm itself is a blast, Dorsey showed us around and introduced us to all of the animals before finding us some baby bunnies to carry around while we explored. Though we only spent one night, I cannot stress enough what a wonderful experience staying at HausBar was. My wife and I are already making plans to return for a longer stay in a few months. Book your time here now, I guarantee you won't regret it."
2349236,32461456,2015-05-18,10683875,Sarah,We had a wonderful stay at the HausBar house!  Very comfortable and the details were all taken care of. Highly recommend this Austin oasis. 
2349236,32897844,2015-05-23,30733679,Paula,"Dorsey was a fabulous host.  She didn't just give a tour, she gave a tasting and a seminar on what they are doing at their farm.  She was friendly and very accommodating. This stay is worth every penny.  Thanks again, Dorsey.

Paula"
2349236,34287938,2015-06-07,21358143,Alex,"We had a wonderful experience! The guesthouse itself is beautiful (even nicer than the pictures), having the farm in the background is fun and unique, and we were provided with wonderful eggs and jam as well as delicious local beer and fresh cut flowers. We didn't get to meet Dorsey, sadly, but the guesthouse manager Melinda met us when we arrived, welcomed us and showed us round. Also they very nicely let us check in earlier than the official time (agreed in advance) which was very flexible and accommodating. We would absolutely recommend the guesthouse at HausBar to others and would love to return again some time ourselves."
2349236,35271329,2015-06-16,23464219,Sheila,"I loved the HausBar guest house!!  Hospitality is an art and co-owner, Dorsey, is truly an artist.  I found out after booking the Urban Farm cottage that Dorsey is the original owner of the iconic Eastside Cafe-definitely my favorite restaurant in Austin!  The cottage is adorable and the upscale and charming details (luxury linens, fresh flowers, complimentary health and beauty products) made me feel ultra comfortable and pampered.  I travelled to Austin to visit my newborn grandson and the experience of having my daughter, son-in-law and infant enjoy a home cooked dinner (the kitchen is wonderful and fully equipped) with fresh veggies from the garden and just laid eggs, will always be a wonderful memory!  

Dorsey gave us an informative and entertaining tour of the farm and we held the baby bunnies and made instant friends with the miniature donkeys and mascot, Gustavo the goose.  

This is a 5 star accommodation at a great price!! Can't wait to return."
2349236,36052418,2015-06-24,35520445,Ernest,"My wife and I had a restful and fun time in Austin, Texas while staying five (email hidden) Farms.  The house was perfect for the two of us--spacious, comfortable, cool, conveniently located, and with lots of extras.  We cooked most of our meals while staying there.  Dorsey was a great host!"
2349236,36244392,2015-06-26,36427483,Jenive,"We are Austin residents who visited HausBar as a fun staycation. Honestly, I was worried that after a day my two kids (ages 11 & 14) would be bored with the farm and ready to go. I could not have been more wrong. We are all grateful for Dorsey's fantastic hosting abilities as well as the absolute charm of the guest house and surrounding farm. 

Visiting HausBar felt a like visiting a relative. She left clear instructions for our arrival, but was present and eager to greet us when we arrived. She gave freely of her time, willing to discuss aspects of not only her farm, but the business, the urban farm movement, and any other random question we might have. Unlike some relatives, (mine at least) she has also mastered the art of being present when your guests want and need you, but giving all the space and privacy they want as well. 

A final testament...my tween daughter put her phone down when we arrived and had no idea where it was when it was time to leave because she hadn't picked it up in 3 days. My son finished reading two novels. There was something magical about the place that makes you slow down and enjoy unplugging from the world. "
2349236,36743656,2015-06-30,902970,Daniel,"Dorsey is the finest host my crew has come across.  We spent the month on the road culminating in Austin, where we saved the best for last.  Dorsey, her house and charming farm filled with chickens, ducks, and rabbits( to name a few) was an unforgettable excursion.  Imagine the finest Hotel and all its amenities. This is HausBar.  Cant wait to return.  Thanks again, girl."
2349236,38194852,2015-07-13,14230179,Kevin,"We had a spectacular time. We can't  say enough positive things about our stay at the farm. We were greeted with smiles from Dorsey and shown around the farm and house upon arrival.  The place was spotless and well stocked with some snacks, coffees and fresh farmed eggs. Dorsey covered all the bases, and gave us some great recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. We were so happy to come back to a cozy and cool place after being out in the sweltering Texas summer heat. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants an authentic Austin experience. "
2349236,38455533,2015-07-15,37984562,Zach,"This was a great place, Dorsey was amazing and it exceeded our already high expectations."
2349236,38573997,2015-07-16,37984562,Zach,"We had a wonderful time at Hausbar. The house was gorgeous, clean, and well provisioned. I seriously doubt there is a better place to stay in Austin."
2349236,38885970,2015-07-19,22857594,Julie,"I wish I could put into words how much staying at Dorsey's GuestHaus is good for your soul. There was no better feeling than hearing a Rooster greet the day and putting the first smile on my face. Sometime's we get so lost in our city life that we loose track of ourselves and Dorsey's GuestHaus brings you back to a reality you want to live in. Now for the logistics of a review. Location was great after all it is an Urban Farm! We took Uber to a show at The Paramount Theatre, which is why we came to Austin in the first place (Dorsey and Susan were at the show also, so cool). The ride was about 8 dollars and some change. and on the way back it was a little less. Dorsey had a great welcome package that included some of her favorite goodies and a typed out guide that had everything you needed to know. I kept it by the bed as we kept referring to it, it was that helpful. We had an amazing brunch at Hillside Farmacy and enjoyed our time more so in East Austin rather than Downtown. We played with bunnies and met some mini donkeys, and a sweet little goose. We ate a great cucumber and slept in an extremely comfortable clean bed in a beautiful clean house. My heart will always remember this weekend. I'm already searching for another occasion to make the trip back to Dorsey and Susan's GuestHaus!  "
2349236,39775238,2015-07-26,35254245,Knezyk,"We loved our stay at the urban farm haus. Dorsey is such a gracious hospitable host that greeted us like family and even provided a printed customized welcome to the urban farm haus packet with everything from details of the home to great ways to explore Austin. The farm haus has such a relaxing quaint country get away feel, yet close to great local restaurants, downtown and park to walk & paddle board - this truly was the perfect location to unwind and enjoy time with our austin local friends and family. We absolutely can't wait to come back to our home away from home. Our only regret is not staying longer. "
2349236,40177667,2015-07-28,23464219,Sheila,This was my second time as a guest at the Urban Farm.  It just keeps getting better (if that is possible).  Dorsey is the ultimate host in hospitality and attention to detail!
2349236,40839948,2015-08-02,27503916,Stephanie,"Our 2-day stay at HausBar Farm was a very relaxing one. Before our arrival, Dorsey Barger was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. During our stay, we enjoyed going to McKinney Falls (about 15 minutes away), the HOPE Outdoor Gallery (about 15 minutes away as well) and The Oasis (about 35 minutes away).

Parking was very nice--we had the whole driveway to ourselves--and the neighborhood was a very laid back and quiet one. The home was beautifully decorated and was very comfortable as well. The main bed was also comfortable (as was the fold out bed in the living room couch for our children) and there was ample seating, tables and surfaces for enjoying meals. A detailed and personalized welcome packet was left on the bar in the kitchen, and this was very helpful. The packet contained everything from how to operate the dishwasher to tips on recycling and composting. The kitchen was stocked with so many goodies, which was great for us and our children--there was a basket of dry snacks on the counter and the refrigerator was stocked with local beer samples (cans), fresh eggs from the farm, butter, marmalade, filtered water and cream. There was also coffee provided on the counter as well as in the freezer. Since we were out and about quite a bit during our 2-day stay, we appreciated the washer and dryer in the home and were able to return home with clean clothes instead of a bag of dirty laundry. Soap and shampoo were also provided as was a hair dryer, plenty of linens and towels, and many other little comforts.

Our children and we enjoyed the farm behind the house--so many animals and all very friendly. We enjoyed walking through the large garden as well--we only wished we could have stayed longer to learn more about all that grew there. We were able to meet Dorsey Barger during our stay, and she is just as pleasant in person as she is over e-mail/text. I know I'm leaving more good things out on this review, but we would 100% recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a relaxing stay in Austin. We enjoyed it so much and would love to return."
2349236,41021385,2015-08-03,23506703,Ilsa,"Had the most lovely experience this past weekend at the Hausbar farm guesthouse with the amazing host Dorsey! My grandma was visiting from AZ and I wanted to take her to Austin to show her the city . This guesthouse was perfect ! It was perfectly located in Austin and had the privacy and comforts of home . Dorsey was even sweet enough to provide us with some of her farms fresh eggs, local breads etc ! Having a beautiful farm in the middle of urban Austin was such a nice balance I am just waiting for the next opportunity to stay here again !  "
2349236,41818375,2015-08-09,9462286,Sara,"We loved our stay at HausBar Farm! The house was adorable, spotless, and very comfortable. Dorsey took care of us with delicious fresh eggs from her chickens, fresh bread, preserves, butter, milk, and other yummy snacks. The house had absolutely everything we needed and more. All of our airbnb experiences have been good, but this one takes the top spot. Hope to stay here again soon!"
2349236,42789749,2015-08-15,7135328,Catherine,"We absolutely loved our (too) short stay at HausBar Farm. Dorsey greeted me, my husband and our 1.5 year old when we arrived and took us on a tour of all the animals and the gardens. Our daughter was in heaven looking at everything and demanded ""matoes"" off the vine every time we'd take her into the garden. She also cried when we tried to take her cucumber away so we could put her shoes on.

The guest house was adorable and the perfect size for us and we were able to make a wonderful breakfast of farm eggs, toast and oatmeal with coffee, all provided by Dorsey. There were also 4 local craft beers in the fridge waiting for us. There was nothing NOT to love about HausBar Farm (except maybe the constant repeating of ""chick-en!!"" from our daughter out the window day and night). We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time."
2349236,42930927,2015-08-16,15485229,Hannah,"We couldn't have found a better place to spend one night in Austin than HausBar GuestHaus. Dorsey made sure everything was taken care of...from the local craft beers to the homemade marmalade and the eggs fresh from the farm's chickens. I wish we could have stayed longer and I'll definitely be back. If you're looking for the cutest little farm house in the middle of a fantastic city, GuestHaus is for you! Chickens, ducks, bunnies, and two of the sweetest miniature donkeys ever! We loved holding all the baby animals! Not only that, but HausBar Farms supplies produce to many of the best local restaurants. Loved reading the list of places where I've been and hearing they buy from Dorsey and Susan. Very, very cool. The house was fantastic. The service was top-notch. And the farm was such a treat! "
2349236,43880668,2015-08-22,30024198,Amber,"If you are traveling to Austin you must stay here!  The location is very convenient, but the best part is how comfortable this place is.  There is a ton of space and you really feel ""at home.""  It was so great to have fresh eggs, bread, oatmeal, local beer, local honey, and local nut mix to enjoy during our stay.  Although we didn't meet face to face, Dorsey was an excellent host and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed.  She was great about answering our questions about local tips and tricks.  Also, it was fun to walk around the farm and we even got a fresh cucumber to take with us!  This place was outstanding and I could not recommend it more.   "
2349236,44023152,2015-08-23,41003451,Sonia,Great experience! 
2349236,45400920,2015-09-02,272357,Aaron And Erin,"Dorsey's the best and we love staying at HausBar farm. This was our second time staying there and it's our first choice for AirBNB in Austin. The farm is bucolic; the livestock provide endless entertainment (ducks chasing each other around in a little bathtub - priceless); the backyard is private and the front porch affords nice views of the neighborhood. The house itself is impeccable and Dorsey always leaves farm fresh eggs, homemade jam, fresh butter and milk (seriously!), not to mention beer, coffee, snacks, etc. It's really close to the Canopy arts complex, Zhi tea-house, good tex-mex.  What a great place.  Stay here if you can. (One caveat: there are roosters crowing in the morning. We love it. It makes you feel like you're out in the country.)"
2349236,45811677,2015-09-06,3889964,Beth,"Yet again we had such a wonderful time at hausbar farms. We ran around like crazy people for four days planning our wedding in Austin, and hausbar was the oasis we needed, complete with awesome animals. Everything was so peaceful, clean and gorgeous we can't wait to go back! "
2349236,46497727,2015-09-11,40635940,Patti,"HausBar Farm is fantastic! The cottage was beautifully restored with farm fresh eggs, local butter, handmade preserves, and local beer in the refrigerator, and wonderful bread, snacks, and coffee provided. Dorsey Barger's enthusiasm in her farm is totally contagious. All of her animals are well provided for and very happy. Her knowledge of making her farm sustainable and completely organic (no gasoline powered products used; Donkeys are the lawnmowers!!) is incredibly interesting and amazing! If you have a chance, do not miss this exciting experience of staying at HausBar Farms!"
2349236,46808815,2015-09-13,39658898,Padmaja,"The host was extremely caring and welcoming. I had taken this air no for my children. Though I couldn't visit, my children had a very comfortable stay there. 
They also said I would loved the food and the ambience because everything was home from and very organic. "
2349236,47571992,2015-09-20,40991834,David,"My wife and one of her girl friends stayed here on an overnight to the Austin area and could not have been more pleased by the experience.  HausBar is truly an oasis in the middle of the City and, once you're down on the farm, everything  else can be forgotten.   Peaceful and gentle.  The cottage couldn't be cuter or more comfortable, and the farm (with all its inhabitants, both of the 2- and 4-legged variety) was just so inviting.  Fresh eggs, bread, and jam in the morning.  A wonderfully helpful host.  What's not to love.  My wife's only regret was that she was there just for the one night but I'll remedy that as soon as I can.   "
2349236,47816369,2015-09-21,33149335,Anthony,"Dorsey has an amazing place to stay - we wish we could have stayed longer and we'll definitely stay there again if/when we return to Austin. The place was spacious and comfortable with nice touches like a fully stocked kitchen, farm fresh eggs, bread from a local bakery. And my 4 yr old son had so much fun walking around the farm with the chickens, rabbits, ducks and donkeys. "
2349236,48230627,2015-09-24,1551085,Anna,"This little house could not be more perfect.  Beautiful locations surrounded by a lovely little farm. Welcoming and lovely. Dorsey supplied fresh farm eggs, home made jam local baked Easy Tiger bread, Texas Olive Oil...all of the basics. The space sweetly decorated, a really nice size for a couple or small family.  Dorsey herself is very very sweet and accommodating.  Open to chatting and showing one around the farm.  This is a absolute for sure visit again spot.  You will love you time here. "
2349236,48712075,2015-09-28,35254245,Knezyk,Another amazing get away to our favorite farm haus! A true home away from home and as always look forward to coming back : )
2349236,49451539,2015-10-04,7964289,Cynthia,"Dorsey was such a welcoming host at the HausBar Urban Farm! She was completely flexible with our super late check in time, and once we walked into the guest house, we felt like we were at home! The local Austin and farm goodies that awaited us were a treat! Our favorite part was Dorsey's tour of the farm, getting to meet the donkeys, bunnies, ducks, chickens and more. The location is ideal - 10-15 minute drive from the hot spots in Austin (super close to the Bike and Hike Trail for any runners or bikers out there!).  The manual that Dorsey provided answered all of our questions and more. Finally, Dorsey was extremely easy to communicate with and was always prompt with responding to any questions we had."
2349236,49875459,2015-10-07,7062663,Deborah,"dorsey is an unsurpassed host with an outstanding cottage for you to stay in !
her warmth, her approach to the environment & sustainable living & farming practices, her provisions & her generosity i have not encountered before in any other airbnb.
the modern 21st century comforts of the cottage are luxurious- aircon, fans, king bed, towels, amenities like washing machine & dryer, kitchen facilities beg you to cook & the couches implore you to relax !!
the wine she left for us was divine, as was the bread & crackers & coffee & butter .... get my drift !!!!
my husband & i can not describe the benefits to your sense of well-being & relaxation....&&&& the presence of the farm animals & vegeatble garden (tour included) are superb !"
2349236,50073623,2015-10-09,8503456,David,"The Farm is just perfect. An entire, fully equipted, and accruement-ed home. Be prepared to be spoiled. 

Dorsey was responsive and kind.

I was there for two nights and upon arrival and a self- tour, vowed to return, immediately. The place is really terrific, did I mention perfect??? 

Easy access to downtown Austin: 10 min in rush hour. 

The number of swank-organic food destination in the georgrphic area provides for challenging decision-making. 

I shall say no more for fear, there will be no room in the ""farm"" for ME! "
2349236,50794847,2015-10-14,15439254,Amanda & Whitney,"Staying at Hausbar was absolute perfection. We live in Austin and drove less than 5 miles to stay at Hausbar for a quick romantic getaway. Dorsey greeted us immediately upon arrival and gave us an extensive tour and introduced us to all the animals as well as all the vegetables growing on the farm. 

We communicated with Dorsey to ask which vegetables were in season so we came ready to cook. During the daylight hours, we spent some time outside on the farm with wine, hanging out with donkeys and watching all the chickens go to their coop for the night. 

Dorsey came outside and spent time with us when she could and her presence was always welcome. Once night fell and the animals were put to bed, we set to work cooking with vegetables from the farm. We roasted bok choy and fennel, made a shredded kale salad, baba ganoush with eggplant from the farm, cucumber salad, and quiche with fresh eggs and tomato and basil from the garden. 

The next morning we woke up at dawn to greet the chickens and rabbits. We then had a relaxing morning until check-out. 

The ""GuestHaus"" was beautiful, clean, comfortable, and spacious. Dorsey was a kind and beautiful person, and a great communicator. The farm itself was just perfect and we look forward to staying there again! We had the most amazing experience and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone. "
2349236,50894333,2015-10-15,46097302,Kim,"What a delightful stay we had on our honeymoon at this amazing little urban farm! The quaint guest house was so inviting, well equipped, and centrally located-we couldn’t have asked for more. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was already there, with a bonus of fresh eggs, butter, cream and a surprise bottle of bubbly chilling in the fridge-it felt like home!  The farm itself was a little slice of the good life right outside the back door. Donkeys, geese, ducks, chickens and bunnies happily roamed around and allowed us to experience them up close. Such an awesome place, even the rooster next door can’t stay away! The animals are certainly a reflection of the owners who tend to them. Dorsey was outside working in the morning and cheerfully offered us a tour of the farm. She went well beyond that by taking a good hour or more from her busy day to just sit, chat and get to know us. She is an amazingly interesting person and so kind. I can’t say enough good things about this place and the ladies who own it. We will certainly be back, and be sure to spread the word – after we get our names in the pot for our next visit! "
2349236,51111750,2015-10-18,7458978,Claire,This adorable place fit our needs perfectly!  We wanted a place close to our eastside venue to spend our wedding weekend and couldn't have found a better place.  Dorsey worked with me to find a better check-in time since we were in the middle of the wedding rehearsal.  She even showed us around the farm when we were wandering around and let us hold a 2-day-old baby bunny!  We ate farm fresh eggs in the morning with local bread which made it all the more special and charming. What a magical experience.  
2349236,51430354,2015-10-20,38569225,Jessica,"Everything about this listing is perfect! Dorsey is a fantastic host -- she's so friendly and welcoming and provided a lot of really great recommendations for things to do and see around Austin. The guesthouse is adorable, and Dorsey keeps it stocked full of everything you could possibly need during your stay. You'll feel at home immediately. And if that's not enough to convince you, the friendly, funny farm animals should be. Who doesn't like coming home to donkeys and baby bunnies? Anyway, if you're planning a trip to Austin, STAY HERE!!! You'll be so glad you did."
2349236,52449974,2015-10-29,5820512,Heather,"Dorsey was a lovely host, charming and inviting.   The bungalow was nicely decorated and couldn't have been for comfortable.  I had fresh eggs, garden greens, and herbs in the morning for breakfast.   And as much time as I wanted snuggling with new born bunnies.   It was a perfect couple of days in central Austin.   "
2349236,52975853,2015-11-03,44443104,Sara,"This felt like a home away from home, only better. All the comforts were provided plus bunnies to cuddle and ducks to entertain. The fabulousness of greeting the day by holding baby bunnies can not be overstated.

The location is ideal - close to everything but removed from the hustle and bustle. The coffee with fresh cream is delicious as are the treats provided. The bed provides a comfortable sleep and the sofa is just perfect to relax on after a long day of activity.

By the second day I started referring to HausBar as ""home"". I've been gone a day and I miss staying there. I would love to call HausBar my home again on my next trip to Austin."
4446280,43118542,2015-08-17,38454081,Luke,The host was great. Great neighborhood with short uber ride to wherever. 
6075985,33620435,2015-05-30,6130637,Seychelle,"We are so glad we chose Bo's place to stay in Austin. It was clean, we'll decorated, comfortable and in a great location. We will definitely be back. "
6075985,34459880,2015-06-08,9037960,Sunaina,"We had a great weekend in Austin at Bo's place. The house was very clean, spacious, and (website hidden) was very responsive and accessible when we had questions. Instructions for check in and check out were clear. Would definitely recommend!"
6075985,36306873,2015-06-27,34819535,Michael,The house was spotless and in a beautful and quiet location in Austin. Right off of South Congress and near a lot of the local restaurants and shops. Very roomy and the three bedrooms were big! All new appliances and great attention to detail throughout the house ( inside and out). I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks again!
6075985,37491208,2015-07-07,3332614,Katherine,"This house is in a good location - the neighborhood is quiet and you can walk to S. Congress if it's not too hot. The interior of the house is very nice with modern furnishings that feel posh enough. We were comfortable and happy there. The landscaping was nice. The screened in porch is not in any way mosquito proof - there are big gaps in the screens, and that definitely took away from the experience, as I was planning a birthday party outside in the evening and we had to keep everything inside. The main thing to understand is that there is no host, per se. This is good for people who don't want to deal with other people's stuff, but not for the classic Airbnb experience. There are no personal touches. There is a property management company who lets the house, and it is not easy to get a hold of if there is a problem. "
6075985,46164916,2015-09-08,29402264,Steve,"The listing discription was accurate and what you see in the pictures is what you get.  Modern, minimal and clean.  We enjoyed the stay.  The location is great easy to get to from the airport and very close to South Congress and all it has to offer.

There was no personal interaction - you are given a code for the front door and you check yourself in and out.  Which for us, that was fine.

The only negative was the screen porch.  If we had planned to use it we would have been disappointed.  We did not use it because it was too hot, but it was not very clean and the screens were torn and not in good condition.  The porch and the backyard need some attention, otherwise it was great.
"
6075985,47280661,2015-09-17,25140013,Ryan,"We'd never been to Austin and decided to rent this property for my sister's 30th birthday.  It turned out to be an excellent choice as the location, neighborhood, and amenities were perfect.  The place has been nicely updated, has a great screened in porch out back, a great master suite and a couple of other nicely done bedrooms as well.  The host provides everything you may need for a comfortable stay.  The neighborhood right off South Congress was one of our favorites and we never took an Uber for more than maybe $15 the entire trip and saw all different areas of the city.  

We had a slight issue with the Wifi however the management company and host were attentive to solving the problem and had us back up and running relatively quickly after the issue was sorted out. 

All in all a great experience and would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
6075985,48749953,2015-09-28,26535710,Colleen,"The listing was accurate. We loved the modern furnishings and quiet SoCo location. We preferred to drive to South Congress but it's walkable if you have some time. The kitchen was stocked with utensils, etc and even had coffee. Also, the bathroom had a box of small toiletries that you may have forgotten, which I always appreciate. Perfect back patio for enjoying some outside time, wine and talking. Highly recommended for a girls weekend. "
6075985,53052637,2015-11-04,19474047,Douglas,Listing is accurate - very clean modern house with some cool design features. Easy to get the lock code and make the place your own.
6291555,32203332,2015-05-15,13796719,Jeannie,"Enjoyed my wonderful stay at Melany's cute loft! It's a cozy and quiet spot to stay in the east side of Austin. The house has a comfortable living area downstairs to make yourself feel at home. Melany is a welcoming, accommodating, and friendly host. She even provided bagels for breakfast.
The house is a short drive into the downtown area and close to an artsy hub, Canopy Studios, with a great coffee spot. No complaints at all!"
6291555,32633759,2015-05-19,31687979,Tom,"Very nice house, all housemates were friendly and welcoming, bed was comfortable and house was clean and cosy. Overall a great place to stay!"
6291555,33937789,2015-06-02,16560077,Renee,We were made to feel very welcome from the beginning. Melany was very helpful and willing to assist. The house is a bit further out of town so you need to be happy to travel back and forth. The house and stay was exactly as described at the time of booking.
6291555,34325621,2015-06-07,32016277,Dylan,Rented out the room for the weekend for the xgames. Melany was a great host. Her and her roommates were real cool people. Made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Were very helpful in telling us some good spots where to go to have a good time. I will definitely use them for my future trips to Austin. 
6291555,35344329,2015-06-17,15430145,Krizia,"Very safe and cute house. They were friendly and hospitable, even welcoming us with bottled water, York mint patties and rolled up towels like in a hotel. Sad we didn't get to meet but glad we got to stay :)"
6291555,36250612,2015-06-26,36482608,Jesus,Melany and her roommates were all very friendly and down to earth. My stay at there house was very peaceful and just what I was looking for. I would definitely recommend staying at Melany's place if your looking for a nice clean place to lay your head down for the night. 
6291555,36347327,2015-06-27,36466078,Ashley,My sister and I really enjoyed our stay with Melany. Although we never had a chance to meet she opened her home to us. The dog was also super friendly. 
6291555,41020015,2015-08-03,15517523,Liana,Melany was a great host! She was very welcoming and made my stay comfortable. She was quick in replying to messages and answered any questions I had. The neighborhood was nice and quiet with lots of street parking. Her roommates were also all very nice. I had a nice stay!
6291555,43098116,2015-08-17,38847139,Abby,Melany and her roomies were so welcoming and inviting! We felt like we were at home during our stay. They were very laid back and chill and it made the uncertainty of sleeping in someone else's home completely feel normal. This experience is part of the reason that we want to come back to Austin and even move there! 
6291555,44715821,2015-08-28,15671979,Lindsay,"My experience was great!  Melany answered all my questions.  The set up was exactly as described, and they have a lock box for the key so you can check in even if she isn't at the house.  Everyone was very accommodating and super friendly."
6291555,51934659,2015-10-25,797915,Damián,"Everything went perfec! Melany and all are really nice people, so try always to enjoy and don't worry, be happy!"
4330415,22222581,2014-11-01,23093236,John,Everything was great! The pictures were absolutely 100 percent correct and Synthia was an amazing and accommodating host. Very hands off we didn't even know she was there!!  10/10 would recommend for anyone needing a place. Thank you so much Synthia!!
4330415,22286140,2014-11-02,23192329,Jan,"Overall, I was very pleased with the house. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin--it was clean, spacious, and located conveniently. No qualms whatsoever! The neighborhood was friendly and quite."
4330415,23914511,2014-12-14,4042305,Xiaolan,"Sylvia and her husband Jim took very good care of us, starting with calling ahead of time to provide all necessary information and made us feel very welcome. Upon arrival the house is just as pictured - very clean, cozy and inviting. We are a group of 2 couples and 3 little ones, and the house had plenty of space for all. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating and the kitchen is well equipped for both adult and baby needs. We also enjoyed listening to their music collection, and sitting at the front porch sipping coffee. Sylvia and Jim stopped by a couple of times during our stay, and they are both very friendly and sweet. No awkwardness here. The closeness to the rail system is also a plus, because parking downtown is just terrible. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are also very nice. If you are staying in Austin, please give their place a try!"
6706991,34684515,2015-06-10,35228965,Derek,"We stayed at Larissa's Zen Suite for the first two nights of our honeymoon. It was the perfect place to relax and kick back. The bed is amazingly soft and comfortable. Perfect location in the eastside, close to downtown but tucked away from the bustle of the city. Larissa was a wonderful host, she went above and beyond to accommodate our every need. She is very cool. We would definitely stay here again in the future."
6706991,35028347,2015-06-14,35043288,Junior,This place is amazing! Everything we were looking for when traveling to Austin. The place was nicely decorated. Very close to downtown and other attractions. Will most definitely be staying here again. Larissa was very sweet. Very accommodating to our needs. Was always a phone call or text away. 
6706991,35724943,2015-06-21,18592140,Angela,Laura was a great host. She answered all my questions very promptly. Her space was very clean (it was brand new) and she provided everything we needed for our stay. The location was also convenient and seemed very safe. Would definitely recommend!
6706991,36055835,2015-06-24,4770839,Simon,"Larissa was a great host, super friendly and organised. The Zen suite is a beautiful designer space in a brand new house. Clean, modern and inviting with a full kitchen. The place is close to the main things to see in Austin but would highly recommend a car for ease of transport."
6706991,36161955,2015-06-25,3228905,Erika,"I stayed in the Zen suite -- it was nicely decorated and very clean. The bathroom  was beautiful! Great location in East Austin and good rate, too. Larissa was very responsive and checked in with me via text to make sure all was good. Will definitely stay again!"
6706991,36597667,2015-06-29,25589644,Judy,"We really enjoyed staying at the Zen Suite! It was a wonderful retreat to come back to after spending the day in Austin. The decor was lovely, and Larissa was so, so helpful whenever we had a question about something in the suite. We had a great time in Austin, and our stay here was certainly a highlight of the trip."
6706991,37205552,2015-07-05,35715221,Lauren,We enjoyed our stay in this property. The zen suite was very clean and nicely decorated. We loved having a private entrance and still being able to easily access the kitchen and main room. 
6706991,37723918,2015-07-09,11551176,Erica,"Larissa was a great host.  Very sweet and accommodating.  Her home is absolutely beautiful, very zen like as promised.  We lucked out and had the place to ourselves (normally the living room, laundry and kitchen is a shared space between 3 private rooms) because the other 2 rooms were not occupied.  We would definitely consider staying here again, especially if we had a larger party and could rent out the entire space.  "
6706991,38016522,2015-07-12,25330814,Steven,"Larissa was an excellent host and gave us all the info we needed. The Zen suite was very clean and well put together-newly remodeled. The bathroom, the kitchen, room itself, just fantastic. Great location on the east side of Austin. Highly recommended. "
6706991,38362091,2015-07-14,37690124,Alyssa,Staying at the Zen Suite was great! The decor and atmosphere of the whole place was exactly as described. Location was great as well. Larissa was super helpful and gave great tips for places to go in Austin while we were there. We'll definitely be back! 
6706991,40768590,2015-08-02,173309,Paulina,"We spend 3 nights at Larissa's ""HIP East-Side Zen Suite"". The location is convenient given we had a rental car. It was a quick 10 minute drive to downtown and other good spots. Some nights you get a spot in front of the house or in their drive way. 

The Zen suite had it's own separate entrance and its own bathroom which we liked, and you have to share the rest of amenities. The whole house/apartment is well decorated, but it's also decorated cheaply ( since it's a rental). The bed fell to the floor the first night we were there. Cheap ikea beds, but we rearrange the slots and we will carefully lie down on it. Also, she likes to keep the house at 80 degrees and you can't touch the thermostat. We text it to see if we can make it cooler and her response was to wet my hair or clothes and activate the fan to keep myself cool. I'm from south america and I've never been this hot in a room. So if you have problems sleeping with a loud fan and a hot room, I wouldn't recommend it. I slept with my headphones all 3 days and waking up every 2 hours to drink water since it was so hot. 

Also, they do photoshoots in the living room and if they have schedule something , which she did, when you are there, you will have to leave or stay out of the living room. She had forgotten to give the studio keys to the people coming to do the photoshoot and texted us to open the door for them. We were out so we couldn't help, but it's weird you are contacted so much. "
6706991,41971498,2015-08-10,36468752,Hanna,"Great living with good standard. A good location, 10 minutes from downtown with car. A busstop really close to the house and a grocerystore really close to. Clean, welcomeing and nice place. We defenitly recommend it."
6706991,42971116,2015-08-16,929502,Mario,"   This is my second review for this property, and was just as pleased with this room as I was with the other room I stayed at. The room where I had previously stayed was ample, but this room was huuuuge. Nothing cramped or restricting about it, and actually bigger than many other rooms and even efficiency apartments I have stayed at. 
     I have used Airbnb many times, both in the US and overseas and have always been very satisfied. With that said, I can honestly say that this is by far the best place I have stayed at. Everything was exactly, if not better, than the property description. The room as well as the common area were invitingly beautiful, charmingly decorated, meticulously clean. The house is conveniently located and enjoyably serene. Additionally, an overly ample room,  and comfortable bed made life easier for me after a hard days work.    Even though Larissa  was out of town during my stay, she was not only readily accessible via phone and email, but willing to answer accommodate my few requests. 
     What I loved about it, is that it had its own personal entrance and that for me made it feel even more like home. When you came home, you had immediate access to your ""self contained room, and whenever you wanted to explore the rest of the house, all you had to do was open the door to the living spaces and enjoy the rest of the house. The living room was enjoyable to sit it at any time of the day and a great place to drink a coffee or read a book. Since I am a foodie, I especially loved access to the professional stove and cooked some great meals there.
    Larissa did not wait for me to ask for something to make it special, the place itself was itself special the minute you walked in the door. Pride of ownership, attention to detail and a loving hand are not only visible, but felt throughout the house. You can literally feel the love and attention to detail that was put into it.
     Larissa ""built""this property just like if it was her own home. By anticipating what a guest might require during a stay, she made almost every amenity readily available. It did not feel like a rental unit, but like a real home, and it made me feel like family visiting, rather than a rental guest. 
      This will not only be on my personal recommendation list, but my first pick on all my future visits to Austin.
     Thank Larissa for such an unexpected surprise and pleasant stay !
"
6706991,44083925,2015-08-23,31410953,Irving,"My stay at the Zen Suite was a great experience. The place was spotless and well laid out as depicted in the images and description. Larissa truly went above and beyond thinking of every detail in the space that would make this a comfortable stay. She pointed out that the room is the warmest in the house at a steady 78 degrees which could be concerning to guest who may need very cold rooms to sleep. However, with the large ceiling fan on, and with a standing fan that Larissa provided, the room was cool enough for my liking. Not to mention, my stay was during the month of August with temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees outside.  The bed was comfortable, the bathroom really clean, and a walk-in closet with the ability to hang clothes and stash away our luggage was just perfect. The location of the zen suite was in a good spot. It's possible to have a great time in Austin without even crossing the west side of 35 (depending what you are into). In less than 3 minutes I was in the hip east side bars on 6th and 7th street. There were numerous brunch bistros and art boutiques to explore in East Austin that were all relatively close by car. In regards to the host, Larissa was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. She and her 6 year old boy provided us with a nice greeting during our arrival. She made herself available via text and stressed to contact her at ANY time should we need something. I would definitely stay at the Zen suite again and recommend it for all. 

Thanks Larissa!!"
6706991,45876936,2015-09-06,8994678,Michelle,"This was a good place to stay. 

Good:
- The pictures do the listing justice
- Well organized
- The owner is thoughtful and attentive

Bad things:
- When it's hot outside, it's hot inside
- This is NOT an entire home/apt, but a room for rent. It DOES have the option to be rented entirely. 
- There's no living room (it's a photography studio)"
890163,22501724,2014-11-08,8627491,Sharon,"Roman & Andrea were stellar hosts and great in terms of communication. Their apartment was lovely, very clean, super convenient (5-10 mins and about a $10-$12 UBER ride to downtown, walking distance to bars & restaurants) and in a safe & cool neighborhood. Would definitely stay there again and recommend, without hesitation, anyone else to book this rental!"
890163,23020654,2014-11-20,9278928,Thomas,Great place ! Completely redesigned and perfecly equipped. Great location too. I will definitely book again
890163,26630405,2015-02-16,1630720,Lindsey,"Roman and Andrea are lovely hosts with a beautiful home. This place comes as advertised and is among the more comfortable AirBnBs I've stayed in. The location is ideal, and I truly look forward to staying here again soon. "
890163,27001430,2015-02-23,26157491,Mike,"Great rental in a quite yet convenient location. Nice amenities and attention to detail. Overall, we had a great time in Austin, ate some delicious food and saw some some great sites. We will be back and will definitely recommend the house to our friends."
890163,28074848,2015-03-17,3850317,Kirsten,Roman and Andrea made us feel very welcome in their home! It was even more beautiful than pictured! The house was immaculate and had all of the necessities including coffee and shampoo. It is very close to some great coffee shops and restaurants and also within walking distance to downtown. We would definitely stay here in the future when we visit Austin again!
890163,28246577,2015-03-21,11037611,David,This stay was the highlight of our trip to Austin! So clean and modern with great coffee and amenities. Close to downtown and great food nearby. Could not have been happier to stay here. 
890163,52077232,2015-10-26,4677583,Marc,Stunning place. Great location - close to some excellent bars and restaurants and a 5 minute taxi ride to downtown. Roman and Andrea provided everything we needed. Top Airbnb experience
4670487,24777351,2015-01-02,25027573,Luke,"We had a great time at Ashley's. The place was clean and well kept. Ashley was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We were there for NYE, it was easy to travel around Austin from this location.  Great place, great host, I would definitely recommend this place!"
4670487,25582999,2015-01-19,11674571,Hung,"Ashley and her house are so great!  She is super accommodating and was always available when we had questions or needed anything.  The house itself is very clean, bright, and modern and a great place to relax.

We felt very welcomed by her and it was such a convenient and safe location that we easily made it to her tasty recommendations.  Along the way we kept finding more new spots to eat and if we wanted to go downtown or to SoCo it was always a really quick and easy trip or inexpensive uber ride. 
I myself found the area very easily and safely bike-able so with town lake so close I made it out there to run every day.

Thank you for such a pleasant stay Ashley!"
4670487,26334845,2015-02-09,15008410,Jorge,"Ashley's house is every bit as pretty as the pictures make it look, tastefully decorated and in brand new conditions overall. It is very well located to visit 6th St and Zilker Park, among other spots. As a host, Ashley was very polite and helpful, even sending out a small guide to the city -  that I printed but left at home before arriving to ATX :(

I fully recommend staying at Ashley's house when visiting Austin, especially for large groups (we were 5)."
4670487,26748762,2015-02-18,15173562,Eric,"Ashley was a great host!  She was very communicative beforehand and sent us a helpful guide of things to do in the neighborhood. The house was fantastic, exactly what our group of six was looking for.  It was located close to a lot of delicious restaurants, and was a quick Uber ride (or a slightly longer walk) to get to the downtown areas with even more stuff to do.  All in all, definitely a great place to stay in Austin."
4670487,26996236,2015-02-23,26549127,Nick,The listing was perfectly accurate. This place was super clean and everything was new. It fit 7 of us very comfortably. The kitchen had everything you would need to make a meal or drink. The location was great in that it was only around a $10 uber ride to downtown.
4670487,27332055,2015-03-02,26482635,Andrew,"Ashley was a fantastic host and her house was simply amazing. I spent the weekend in Austin with a few friends and the location could not have been any better. Just 10-15 minutes away from the airport and literally minutes from downtown, Rainey St., and E. 6th and W. 6th. She was also extremely flexible with check in/check out which was great we did not have to rush out the door in the morning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!"
4670487,27655397,2015-03-09,26608972,Amanda,"This house is absolutely gorgeous with modern amenities and design. It's only about 5-10 minutes from 6th street and we did not have any issues with requesting Lyft and Uber rides. Her beautiful kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook a great meal.

Ashley is great - she's very communicative and accommodating. She offered to deliver anything I needed and was able to work with me when I stayed later than the time we agreed upon. She's a great host!"
4670487,27787546,2015-03-11,4823568,Erika,"Ashley was great! She was super patient and communicative during the booking process and took the extra time to check-in on us throughout the reservation. 

Her space is amazing as well! The first thing my coworker and I mentioned the next morning was how comfortable the beds were. :) Overall, the space was super clean, comfortable, and in the perfect location for us. I would highly recommend Ashley's listing to anyone visiting the Austin area!"
4670487,28309052,2015-03-22,11628830,Frank,"We had a great time there. The house was expected, totally clean and very comfortable.  Would definitely inquire with Ashley again, should I need to place to stay in Austin.
"
4670487,28540492,2015-03-25,17261947,Andrew,"Easy check in, hip location, turnkey as can be. Everything in the place is new. And it was very clean. Only nit would be the lack of window treatments on windows which kinda made one feel a little 'exposed'. "
4670487,29818779,2015-04-13,26266673,Heather,"Ashley did a great job of ensuring that we had all the details we needed to get in to the house. We borrowed a blow up mattress and she made sure it was blown up prior to us getting there. She was extremely flexible with check-in/check-out times. This is a beautiful house and an Uber downtown was only $10, so this was a great location. The house is very spacious and the rooms were great. We had a lot of fun hanging out in the kitchen area and enjoyed the space. If you stay here, you will not be sorry!"
4670487,30285701,2015-04-20,3105638,Carolina,"This was the cutest house ever! We felt like home and didn't want to leave! Such great taste! All was very well organized and ready for us when we arrived! The location is unique to Austin, close to cute breakfast places and a short drive from Downtown Austin. We wished we could have stayed longer. "
4670487,30778682,2015-04-27,289206,Teertha,"Beautiful, spotless home in a great area.  Ashley was very thoughtful in providing everything necessary for a pleasant stay, including useful info about the immediate neighbourhood."
4670487,31891146,2015-05-11,29314800,Janet,"The house was perfect, clean, comfortable!!! The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked with necessities. It is a quiet neighborhood just minutes away from downtown Austin, but far enough away from the crowds and noise. It was a magical weekend with family and the house was the icing on the cake. Thank you, Ashley, is a wonderful hostess. "
4670487,32477894,2015-05-18,29701474,Sharon,"We had a great time in Austin! There were 5 of us visiting from all over the country and we were very comfortable both in sleeping arrangements and in the main part of the house.  The house was very clean and is just like the photos.  We did not have a car during our stay and just used Uber or the bike rental kiosk that is about a block and a half away - very fun and convenient.  There are places to walk to although they are more of a short bike ride away and there is a fun path along the river that leads to downtown a few miles away.  Overall, it was a perfect spot for us and we had no issues to speak of.  "
4670487,34007237,2015-06-03,208578,Mari,"Ashley's place was more than spacious and comfortable for the six of us, and it was in a great location on the east side. We also loved having our own carport. Check-in was super easy, and we had everything we needed. My only complaint is that with such a steep cleaning fee, the stovetop was nonetheless very dirty, the bathroom faucets had toothpaste flecks, and the front lawn was very overgrown. We liked our stay overall though. "
4670487,35826622,2015-06-22,954291,Fawn,"This place is so great, perfect location (so central to everything), beautifully decorated, and a lovely host. AND they left us coffee. I really appreciate when hosts do that. 
Now for my mom review: She let us check in when we needed to!!! You moms know how glorious that is when you have a napping kiddo! I have a child who is a light sleeper so I always ask for places that are quiet. Every night but Saturday our last was quiet. There is traffic noise those as this is a busy street. Saturday night the neighbors threw a very loud (complete with bumpin bass) music that lasted well into the wee hours of the morning. Obvi not the hosts fault and who knows if this is the norm. The neighborhood felt safe. The house had zero clutter which is very helpful when you have a toddler. I would stay here again and recommend to friends. "
4670487,36533297,2015-06-29,5428403,Carly,"The house was great! Nice and clean, good location. No complaints!"
4670487,37297001,2015-07-06,6488287,Emily,"Ashley's Austin Bungalow was perfect for our large group. The house is incredibly clean, cool & comfortable. I would very highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Austin with family or a group of friends. 5 Texas-sized stars!"

4670487,43422785,2015-08-19,24952128,Daniel,Great stay with plenty of space to fit our party of 7.  We really enjoyed East Austin and all of the up and coming new places.  
4670487,44050730,2015-08-23,165496,Jo,Wonderful location and perfect house for visiting family members / group trips. Ashley was quick and responsive with all communication.
4670487,46287221,2015-09-09,39385964,Andrew,"Fantastic place, great up and coming neighborhood, close to downtown and loads of bars.  
You cant go wrong staying here."
4670487,46892416,2015-09-14,13939086,Mike,"Really fun time, great house, and location was close to all the places we wanted to go.  Thanks Ashley!  Would definitely come back again."
4670487,49771354,2015-10-06,5580145,Tiffany,"Ashley was the perfect host, a great communicator and so very helpful with our group. Thanks for letting us stay!"
4670487,50740949,2015-10-14,7426682,Katy,"We had a great time in Austin, thank you Ashley for everything! "
4670487,51291736,2015-10-19,34274977,Eric,Excellent host.  Beautiful house with a great location. I would recommend it to my friends.
4670487,52060458,2015-10-26,42320113,Paul,"Overall, an excellent experience staying at this fantastic house! Ashley provided excellent communications and the description was very accurate. An excellent location in Austin's East side with great cafes, bars and restaurants nearby. There is everything you need here, the beds are very comfortable with great bed linen. This is a fantastic place to spend a long weekend, we were here for F1 GP which is very easy to get to from this side of town, it's also walkable into downtown. "
2592427,12103129,2014-04-22,782110,Kallista,"Amazing location. Nice clean quiet upstairs bedroom. Love all the windows and how quiet the neighborhood was. 

Grace was really nice and made sure I had everything needed. Definitely recommend staying with her. "
2592427,12309222,2014-04-28,13903976,Rachel,"We had a great stay in this cute little studio apartment behind the house. We had a bit of trouble communicating as we got closer to town but I don't think that was normal or anything to worry about. The room was nice and Grace provided everything you might need from shampoo and conditioner to Q-tips and toothpaste. Room was clean and in good order. There was an a/c unit for the room which was off when we arrived, it took a long time to cool the room but once it was running a while it was nice and cold. Maybe if it's hot in Austin you could ask to have the a/c turned on before you arrive.  
The neighborhood was fantastic and Grace's backyard is nice. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend Grace to stay with. 
"
2592427,12596084,2014-05-05,308935,Nic & Jen,"Grace was super nice, easy going and helpful. The apartment is in a great neighborhood and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Fantastic host!"
2592427,12731945,2014-05-09,10099804,Laurence,Grace was a fantastic host! Super friendly and had heaps of good local advice. Check-in/out was really easy and the room was extremely pleasant. Loved the area and would not hesitate booking here again :)
2592427,12805580,2014-05-11,3472938,Casandra,We loved our stay at Grace's place. More comfortable than some of the nearby hotels. We would definitely book it again!
2592427,12966379,2014-05-15,13857931,Jeff,"Grace's place was stellar. It was precisely as described and incredibly clean. The location was very convenient to downtown or the east side and Grace was quick to respond to questions. She even accepted my reservation on short notice, which was generous of her. Definite must stay, if you come to Austin."
2592427,13265108,2014-05-23,3963063,Chris,Grace's place was absolutely one of the best I've been to. It was spotless and thoughtfully designed. Tea and coffee were very nicely available in the morning. There were ample comfy beds. The shower sported Burton's Bees shampoo and conditioner and Dr Bronner's soap. The apartment was immaculate and the way it was color coordinated was tasteful and set a great ambiance. From her place it is an easy and safe walk to the capital and downtown. Grace was friendly and a super helpful host to boot. This is definitely a spot I will return to next time I'm in Austin. 
2592427,13462409,2014-05-27,9852167,Cathryn,"Enjoyed my stay at Grace's as it was neat & clean.  Soft towels, Burt's Bee's supplies in the bathroom, coffee, tea, fridge and a hot plate and a great neighborhood. 
Thunderbird & Star Seeds within walking distance. 
Looking forward to meeting Grace next time!  It was a holiday weekend and we communicated via TEXT.  Kept it simple and no hassle! 
We had a lot of rain that weekend and the sound on the tin roof outside my window was an ambient touch..........   
"
2592427,13626643,2014-06-01,12479601,James,Amazing place and amazing hosts! Thank you so much Grace!
2592427,18828704,2014-09-01,13447153,Phuc,"Fantastic! Grace was a very gracious host. She was very friendly and did not hesitate to offer any assistance. The apartment was great and very clean. It was very well furnished and we had everything we would need. 

We were initially hesitant about the neighborhood, but once we got there, we could see the transformation the area has undergone. This location was ideal for us. There were plenty of dining options within walking distance, and the campus and football stadium were a quick 10-15 min walk. 

I would definitely rent from Grace again."
2592427,19246590,2014-09-08,10979482,Kevin,"Grace's place was great. Very clean, great location and very easy to use. We communicated by text pretty much the whole time. The place gets a little hot but it has a little window unit. Thanks Grace for everything!"
2592427,19503427,2014-09-13,8520916,Lauren,"Grace was so sweet & the place was gorgeous! We had a great stay, everything we could possibly need and a great little neighborhood just up the block. Thanks again!"
2592427,19696932,2014-09-16,19514630,Jaimee,Grace was a wonderful host. She was extremely helpful and responded very quickly to all of my questions. Her home was centrally located within minutes (driving) away from 6th street and congress ave. We had a wonderful time and only wish we could have stayed longer. 
2592427,19911198,2014-09-20,21172352,Erin,"Grace was a great host! Very open with communication and super accommodating. The room has everything you will need, very comfortable stay. Location is great - lots of restaurants close, we walked and biked almost everywhere we went.  About a 10 minute walk to the nearest bike station.  Would definitely recommend! "
2592427,20039941,2014-09-22,2050058,K,The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.  Grace responded quickly to all of our questions and made sure we knew everything  we needed to know.  The neighborhood was quiet but right by some great restaurants.  We would definitely come back. 
2592427,20299452,2014-09-27,427252,Scott & Amalia,"We had a super comfortable few days at this great spot in Cherrywood. Grace was a very welcoming host who made our check out and in experience really easy. In terms of location you couldn't find a better spot in Austin and you're just a stroll away from good coffee (Thunderbird) and tacos (Mi Madre). It was really easy to get into the city or hop onto the I35 if you need to... it's also just 15 minutes to the airport.

On our arrival there was cold water in the fridge a cheat sheet for our stay and the latest issue of the Chronicle for planning fun stuff! There was also some other guidebooks which will come in handy for the Austin newbie.

The unit has nice fittings throughout and cooled down quickly on hot and humid days fast thanks to the AC. When we were a bit exhausted it was nice to hang out there – we had internet, fridge and a very comfy sofa.

Otherwise, it's a really quiet spot in a lovely neighbourhood – highly recommended.

Thanks Grace, look forward to staying again!"
2592427,20469406,2014-09-29,3712113,Phil,Grace & Greg were great hosts. Both were very welcoming with that warm Texan hospitality. Communication and coordination was super easy. The home is a quaint room behind their house. It was nice and quiet and had all I needed for a short stay in Austin. 
2592427,20712658,2014-10-04,16825697,Robyn,"So kind, responsive and informative instructions! We felt welcome and the efficiency was exceptional, very clean, cute and cosy.  Great neighborhood full of community and many places to dine and grab a drink within walking distance.  Very very happy!! (phone number hidden)% will use again, if not booked already!"
2592427,20897803,2014-10-07,1567536,Cari,My boyfriend and I had a great stay for ACL. The place was awesome. We really enjoyed the beautiful backyard and the great company from the hosts and their friends. It was the perfect location for ACL and we were within walking of several bars and restaurants and every place we tried we loved! Grace was an amazing host and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for a weekend in Austin! 
2592427,21090004,2014-10-11,2100049,Chelsea,"Grace's place is truly great! It was so comfortable and clean, and she was more than accommodating with any request or question we had. Would definitely recommend this space to anyone traveling to Austin! "
2592427,21348182,2014-10-15,2100049,Chelsea,This was our second stay at Grace's bnb. We stayed before the weekend and right afterwards. We absolutely loved staying here! Very comfortable and Grace was so responsive to us if we had any questions. Would absolutely stay here again.
2592427,21744669,2014-10-23,5800001,Mackenzie,"Grace's home is so comfortable and inviting! We loved returning ""home"" everyday. It felt nice to see Grace or her friends hanging out - they never got loud and we're always very respectful. Their place is a little bit out of town - we walked but our legs hurt! And it's a cheap lyft ride into town so it was never a problem. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you, Grace! "
2592427,22426653,2014-11-06,16028390,Jamie,Really nice place to stay in a quiet street. The place had everything you could need and is close to plenty of bars/restaurants and a bus stop. Would definitely stay there again. 
2592427,22642201,2014-11-11,1445833,Kevin,My girlfriend and I felt so comfy in the comfy room with seriously every amenity you could ever want or need! I would definitely stay there again as Grace was an incredibly helpful and communicative host!
2592427,22939399,2014-11-17,127515,Carmen,Grace was so sweet and welcoming. She has a binder in the room that has a TON of great recommendations for neighborhood food and drink. The place was so cozy and in an absolute great location. We were able to walk to dinner and breakfast in just a few minutes. The bed was super comfy (this is critical for me!). The only thing to be aware of is some of the high windows in the room do not have curtains on them and the sun comes pouring in in the morning - this did not bother me at all but if you like a blacked out room then bring an eye mask! Will definitely stay here again! 
2592427,23204569,2014-11-25,7793834,Justin,"Certainly lived up to the description. A comfortable flat, light and airy and set in a very peaceful location. Lots of natty little touches that gave the place a homely feel. Some good coffee shops in the neighbourhood too."
2592427,23485651,2014-12-01,6472155,Kasia,"We really enjoyed our stay at Grace's house. It's a really nice, very comfortable and cozy place located within walking distance to many restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment had everything we could possibly need plus an awesome backyard :) Grace and Gregg were great hosts! We would definitely stay there again. "
2592427,23834310,2014-12-12,7793834,Justin,Another restful stay at Grace's place. A perfect location for visiting our family just down the road on Chestnut. A nice peaceful neighbourhood. We will be back.
2592427,23951676,2014-12-15,4555572,Amber,"Great stay here, loved the little studio. Definitely check it out if you are looking for something cute and easy. Bed is super comfortable as well. "
2592427,24476877,2014-12-29,4440548,Thomas,Really great place & location. It's very much like you're a local staying here. Low key and comfortable.
2592427,24846981,2015-01-03,23943626,Maya,"Our experience was great. They worked with our schedule (we had to check in and out really late and early) and hey were very accomodating. The room was perfect. very comfortable and exactly what we needed. They also had a lot of little added touches that made the experience better by including a map of places to go in the neighborhood and other information. My only caution for someone would be that the bed is really high up. This might be hard for someone older to stay there. I am pretty short and had trouble getting up into the bed so it may be hard for some people. A step stool can easily solve that problem though. 
If we travel to Austin again, we would definitely stay in this place again. "
2592427,25423577,2015-01-15,25723458,Nicole,The efficiency was very clean and charming. It was in a perfect location (lots of cafes and restaurants). Grace was a wonderful host. I plan to stay here for all my future trips to Austin.
2592427,25577204,2015-01-19,25974695,Jennifer,"Loved the stay! This was our first AirBNB trip and we were very pleased.  Grace's hosting was out of this world good!  The little house/ apartment we stayed in was super cute, clean and was the perfect place for us to call ""home"" for the weekend. "
2592427,25621024,2015-01-20,21635850,Wilson,My stay here was perfect for our needs. Cozy private apartment on a quiet block with ample parking and less than 8 minutes from Downtown Austin. Bed was very comfortable and Grace was great with communication and accommodating our needs. Thank You! 
2592427,25866259,2015-01-27,872239,Ramiro,"I didn't bump into Grace during my stay, but she was friendly, communicative and overall a great host.

The property itself is very nice and the room is well appointed and well located within Austin.

I would stay here again."
2592427,26276551,2015-02-08,26992065,Corinne,"I stayed in Grace's unit with my 16 year old niece while we were visiting UT's campus. While normally a sulky teenager who can almost always find something sarcastic to say, my niece took one look around the room and said with surprise, ""there is not one thing in this apartment I do not like.""  From her, that is a huge compliment and I agree. Great decor and a perfectly functional small space. We would definitely stay there again. "
2592427,26897208,2015-02-21,4308650,Nia,"Great location, clean and a very comfy bed! Grace is very responsive, I will definitely stay again when I'm in Austin. "
2592427,27017218,2015-02-23,89527,Taylor,"Neighborhood was great, hosts were great, everything was clean and ready upon our arrival! Grace gave us some great recommendations on places to go in Austin. Highly recommend the Eastside Cafe which is within walking distance! We will stay here again very soon..."
2592427,27405250,2015-03-03,27667417,Rosalind,"Grace is absolutely wonderful, and the place couldn't be any cuter. She responds very quickly to any questions or concerns, and has the room incredibly clean and inviting with fresh flowers and other thoughtful touches. We felt welcome from the beginning of our stay to the end. It's also located in a very quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance to quite a few neat places to eat or drink. I had a fantastic weekend, and huge reason for that was due to our accommodations. Highly recommend. "
2592427,27593399,2015-03-08,4477454,Rawan,"My experience was great. I had no difficulties in finding the place and communicating with Grace for any questions/concerns I had prior to arrival. The place looks exactly like the pictures. It is a cute cozy one bedroom area with an Austin feel. Grace also had a book with suggestions of places to go and instructions for anything you may need during your stay. I thought it was cute too that she had new toothbrushes for anyone who forgets their toothbrush.. Like me! I didn't physically meet Grace but either way she responded promptly and made sure to accommodate. Lastly, the location of the apartment is perfect - it's 2-3 miles from downtown and is close to other places (walking distance) in the area. "
2592427,27722665,2015-03-10,5918120,Roseangela,"We enjoyed every moment of our stay. Grace and Greg are wonderful hosts! From the moment of our booking, Grace was very responsive to any question we had. She even left a very thoughtful birthday surprise in the fridge. Hooray! The room is just as it looks in the picture, clean, warm and welcoming. And, if you left toiletries at home, no worries, Grace has it all in the apartment. The neighborhood is very safe and the location is perfect. It's very close to downtown. And, if you don't want to venture downtown, there are so many cool places to eat off Manor Road. It was a great stay and if we come back to Austin, we would stay here again.
Thanks so much you guys!"
2592427,27867066,2015-03-13,29183946,Diana,The reservation was canceled 52 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2592427,27892136,2015-03-14,25627054,Christian,"Grace and the gang, at Breeze Terrace was so great! 

They had the best recommendations for food, music and drinking! 
They were very welcoming in the evening, and we had some great talks and laughs on the porch :) 

I can Only recommend Grace as a host, if you are ever visiting Austin!"
2592427,28120823,2015-03-18,20698261,Audrey,"My best friend and I stayed at Grace's place for SXSW and it was the perfect little spot! Super cute, eclectic, spacious and clean! We had everything we needed, even coffee, tea and water which was an added bonus. Grace was also an extremely gracious host! She was very communicative and helpful to the days leading up to our trip, giving us advice on transportation and allowing us to check in super early from our red eye flight. She also went above and beyond and offered to mail my prescription eyeglasses to me that I accidentally left behind. The location was relatively close to downtown and there was a convenient bicycle store and good restaurants walking distance within her place so A+++++. Would definitely stay there again "
2592427,28185982,2015-03-19,4383937,Karen,"Our experience was great.  Place was cute, clean, and comfortable.  The location was great - not far from the freeway and campus with some great small walkable establishments near by. Our only regret was that we were not staying longer."
2592427,28281550,2015-03-21,12838371,Josh,"Grace was welcoming and the place was great, just as advertised.  We enjoyed our stay, the neighborhood was nice and had quick access to downtown, making our SXSW experience excellent. "
2592427,28370215,2015-03-22,4445430,Les,"This place is really cool! Completely separate and private space with everything you need. I wish I had more than just a 1 night stay here. The surrounding area is really chill, and close to Everything in Austin. I'd highly recommend the Cherrywood Manor to anyone visiting Austin. I hope to visit Austin again, and stay here. 10 stars!"
2592427,28574415,2015-03-26,28887131,Alon,"Amazing place! Location within Austin and the housing provided were top notch. Grace was extremely accommodating and made sure the room was clean and that we had everything we needed. 

Highly recommend - thanks Grace!!"
2592427,28788980,2015-03-30,3509969,Cheryl,"Fantastic space, it exceeded all of our expectations! Grace and Gregg were hospitable hosts throughout our stay and neighbors were equally friendly. The apartment has been thoughtfully designed for guests (lots of hooks/lights, clear instructions, extras like toiletries and snacks). The bed was very comfortable (nice bedding, good cross breeze, quiet mornings). Street parking was easy. The location is a reasonable walk from campus/downtown, but the #20 bus stop at the corner (one of our many pleasant surprises) can more than cut that time in half - and there are good food options very nearby too. We loved it!"
2592427,28934463,2015-04-01,3509969,Cheryl,All around excellent Airbnb experience!
2592427,29309190,2015-04-06,1399584,Stas,"We loved Grace's apartment. It was cozy and cute and full of thoughtful, attentive touches. Little touches like coffee and creamers, mini-champagne bottles, and a list of local cafes, bars, and restaurants made it clear that Grace has put thought into her guests' comfort and needs. The neighborhood is great, too. The street is quiet, but there are a number of great places for food, drinks, and coffee within a 5 minute walk. It's also close to everything—about a $10-12 cab ride to downtown and 6th street."
2592427,29529751,2015-04-08,30299629,Susie,"My husband and I were delighted with Grace's apartment!  It was comfortable, clean and quite attractive, as Grace had obviously put much thought and care into its preparations - artwork, fun posters, snacks in the fridge.  The bed was comfy and inviting.  The towels were plush.  Everything was neat and tidy.  Grace was gracious and helpful - providing us with lots of information about the restaurants and shops within walking distance, and there were a lot of them!  We were able to walk to the UT campus, and also discovered a bus stop within a block of the house.  The Austin public transportation system is great!  It was a lovely experience and we would certainly recommend Grace and her apartment to Austin visitors looking for a reasonably priced, homey and very cute place to stay."
2592427,29575432,2015-04-09,7212474,Veronica,"Grace made us feel very welcome, a few emails were exchanged prior to our arrival. We were so busy the day of our arrival and I was so grateful Grace was present when we arrived to her beautiful home. We were exhausted from a long days travel +. Grace immediately showed us to the second floor apartment, behind the main house. Place was as described and very clean. There was a well organized binder with lots of information. Location was great as the next morning we were off visiting the nearby University of Texas at Austin. Within the neighborhood, there was ample street parking and we were able to park in front of the main house. Apartment was wonderfully quiet. I would recommend staying here and if ever revisiting would happily stay here again. A+
"
2592427,29893028,2015-04-13,25612869,Nicholas,"Grace and Greg were wonderful hosts. Fantastic communication and quick turn around on questions. I made a last minute booking and even requested to have a package shipped to their address for an event I going to last minute. More than accommodating. The room was spacious and pleasant, Bed was very comfortable and it was a breeze to check in. I look forward to staying here again in my future trips to Austin. "
2592427,30097796,2015-04-17,8946863,Lisa,I only stayed for one night and arrived late so I didn't have the chance to meet Grace personally. Grace was easy to reach and responded on time. The room was spotless and got everything you need. The area seems to be quiet and is conveniently located. Would stay at this place again. 
2592427,30679038,2015-04-26,5905629,Haven,"Really sweet and comfortable place in a quiet neighborhood with beautiful old trees! Was absolutely perfect. And we loved being able to walk over to Manor Rd for yummy food and drinks, and our morning coffee.  We miss Austin already--and we would definitely stay there again. "
2592427,30787594,2015-04-27,15897489,Andrew,"Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone. The owner was easy to communicate with, which was extremely helpful. The place was just as described. Very cute and functional space that was much more charming than being cramped up in a hotel room. Excellent location right off of I-35. Downtown was about 5 minutes away. Didn't venture out into the neighborhood that much, but appears to have multiple excellent locations within walking distance. Very pleased with this place."
2592427,31069960,2015-05-01,2046114,Leigh,"Grace was a wonderful host! My friends and I weren't around that much as we were in town for work, but her home was very inviting. We'd open up the door in the morning to get some fresh air and Rossi, one of the dogs, would come in to play! Really comfortable stay in a great and conveniently located part of town. Thanks, again!"
2592427,31440685,2015-05-05,26591813,Melissa,"We loved staying here!  The neighborhood was amazing and had all the stuff you would need (breakfast tacos, cute bars, fun restaurants,  coffee shops).  The apartment was adorable and clean, and perfect for a few days away from home.   "
2592427,31984347,2015-05-12,3493284,Devon,"Our stay at the lovely upstairs suite that Grace and Gregg has created was really amazing. It was clean and well decorated with a true Austin charm. The neighborhood alone was worth the trip, as we spent most of our time at the numerous restaurants and bars surrounding the location. The AirBnB guide book was extremely helpful and pointed us in the right direction each day. I would highly recommend Grace and Gregg to anyone who is going to Austin for a good time!"
2592427,32153870,2015-05-14,13633110,Jerry,Great location. Host made everything very easy. Apartment was everything we were looking for. 
2592427,32710334,2015-05-20,15242726,Jenny,"Lovely little space in a perfect neighborhood. If you want to feel like a local, this is the place for you. Renting a bike is highly recommended and the ride into downtown is great (all downhill) but then there's getting back up those hills, which is definitely a workout. Everything you need for a wonderful stay in Austin is here for you. I usually like to stay somewhere with a full kitchen, but the hotplate set up and microwave did the trick this time around. The food in Austin, and even this neighborhood in particular, is fantastic so eating in is a missed opportunity. Grace is a super-accommodating host and great communicator. I'd definitely come back! "
2592427,32977666,2015-05-24,8970471,John,"My fiancé and I stayed at Grace's for three nights and had a great time. There's plenty to do within walking distance, and the rest of Austin is easily accessible. The room was just as described, and it felt like staying at a friend's house instead of some hotel. It had everything we needed and was decorated with Grace's personal touch! "
2592427,33275567,2015-05-26,28657019,Maureen,This place was great! Loved the apartment and how many things we could walk to in the cool neighborhood. It was everything we needed and we felt so comfortable there. I felt Grace was easily accessible if we needed anything. We hope to come back to Austin soon and stay again.
2592427,33619873,2015-05-30,33572672,John,"Grace Marie made us feel very comfortable and at home during our stay.  The bed and bathroom were nice, but the a/c unit was very loud. I am a sensitive sleeper, so that was my only complaint.  Otherwise, great stay and location for the price. "
2592427,34148158,2015-06-05,5562749,Holly,"G&G were extremely welcoming. The studio apartment was easy to access and had just the right amount of funky decorations to make us feel like we were in Austin. Bed was comfy, internet was great, and the surroundings were peaceful. We would definitely stay here again and we fell completely in love with the neighborhood. The only time I used the car was to drive to CVS, but I loved all of the places within a 5 minute walking distance: Thunderbird Coffee, Mi Madre tacos, Eastside Cafe lunch, In.Gredients salad and sandwiches, etc. etc. So, so good. "
2592427,34344495,2015-06-07,34003460,Sawyer,"Grace was prompt and honest in her communications before the booking was complete. Easy check-in and checkout, and easy to navigate to. 

The space itself is FANTASTIC. Grace has put a great deal of effort into making the space feel comfortable and quaint. Small touches here and there made for a fantastic experience for us. 

The immediate area is quiet and peaceful. But just down the road is a plethora of yummy restaurants and cafes. It makes for a nice walk in the morning to enjoy a cup of coffee and have some breakfast.

Access to downtown Austin is quick and easy, as this place is centrally located and along IH-35. 

Overall, can't say enough about how fantastic our stay was. Book here if you can, and you won't regret it!"
2592427,34568179,2015-06-09,4779081,Kate,"Grace Marie's place was perfect for us! Cute, comfortable and walking distance to so much. Check in and out were very easy. We would stay again."
2592427,34709279,2015-06-11,31968918,Emma,"Oh my gosh. This is, in fact, one CUTE apartment. One room with a bathroom, everything you cold possibly need. I was only here for a night, but I'd have loved to stay longer. 

Clean and beautifully decorated, awesome property all around. The street was residential and seemed safe and quiet. There were a ton of great restaurants/coffee shops just at the end of the street- a very quick walk (which is good because oh man is it hot out there!)

What else? Welcome binder had all the info you could need + more. I hope to stay here again someday, really!"
2592427,35235434,2015-06-16,9585450,Carol,"Bright, airy and very clean apartment that feels like your home away from home. The bed was comfy and the a/c cranked. Perfect hosts. Yummy coffee shops and restaurants nearby plus Austin always has something cool going on.  Thanks y'all I'll be back!"
2592427,35483925,2015-06-19,364983,Huriya,"I was only here for a quick two-night trip, but Grace's studio was the perfect place to stay. Check-in was seamless, and it was quiet and peaceful, while also just steps away from my favorite coffee shop and taco joint. After a long, international flight, I appreciated the comfortable bed, not having to worry about packing toiletries, and the delicious french-press coffee. The neighborhood is lovely and convenient to downtown and UT. (I actually live in Austin, but had sublet my place for the summer, and needed a place to crash for two nights.) "
2592427,35817577,2015-06-22,19726998,Jessica,"My experience was great. The apartment was ADORABLE. And very clean. Exactly as described. Grace was very thorough in providing all the info I needed for my stay. I slept on the pull-out sofa (my sis in law and her fiancé slept on the bed) and it was SUPER comfy. The apartment was located very close to all kinds of places to eat, grab drinks, etc. It was only a $7 uber ride down to Rainey St. where there's lots of fun bars. But anyway, the apartment was great, the location was great, the host was wonderful. Would definitely stay again, and very highly recommend this place to anyone!"
2592427,36108674,2015-06-25,33684133,Heather,I stayed three nights while my son attended UT freshman orientation.  Grace's Cute East Austin Apartment was a perfect -- being close to UT and all of the restaurants just up the street.  Grace was welcoming and everything was arranged just as she had described!
2592427,36200352,2015-06-26,33915168,Kaci,The place was just as expected and cuter. The neighborhood is very charming as well and close distance to a lot of good spots. It was about a $20 cab ride to/from Cedar Street Courtyard on 4th & Lavaca. 
2592427,36586667,2015-06-29,9419137,Katie,"This was the perfect place for my friend and me on our girls' weekend! The location is unbeatable and Grace was very gracious and easy to communicate with, despite the fact that she was out of town for the duration of our stay. It was so great to be able to just step outside and find so many great places (Dai Due, School House Pub, Thunderbird Coffee) nearby. We also found the bed very comfy and the extra amenities (mini fridge, spare toiletries) convenient. We had everything we needed for a fun weekend in Austin and would absolutely recommend it for anyone needing a crash pad in town. "
2592427,36818517,2015-07-01,36038157,Jack,"We picked this airbnb because it is in such a great location! The room was clean and exactly as depicted in the profile description. Street parking in front of the house was very convenient. Grace was friendly and welcoming, and I now feel great knowing I no longer need to search for another place to stay when I visit Austin; we've found the perfect spot and I would recommend this room to others looking for a great place to stay in the area. "
2592427,37098328,2015-07-04,7325015,Erin,"My sister & I had such a great experience stay with Grace! The neighborhood was super cute with a lot of families walking, jogging and dog walking. The apartment was just perfect for our quick overnight trip and had everything we needed. We felt very welcomed and it was the perfect amount of privacy as we felt comfortable to come and go. Would definitely recommend, will try and stay again for longer next time!"
2592427,37366118,2015-07-06,35897242,Sarah,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it honestly couldn't have been better! We didn't get a chance to actually meet Grace but she left a binder with lots of helpful information. The room is exactly as described and very cozy. Also, the location is perfect! "
2592427,37722813,2015-07-09,17039377,Anita,"We had a great stay at this cute apartment in Austin! We decided to stay an extra night on a whim and Grace was very quick to respond to our last minute request. The space is small but cute and well-arranged, and the entire house/yard has a perfect, quirky Austin vibe."
2592427,37812775,2015-07-10,14818313,Steven,Great hospitality and greT room with great views

2592427,38797771,2015-07-18,37740811,Dj,Truly enjoyed our 3-night stay in such a lovely apartment. Walking around the neighborhood and stopping by a few restaurants within less than a mile distance or so was a very enjoyable experience as well.  Thank you Grace Marie! 
2592427,39120217,2015-07-20,32931056,Michael,"Excellent location on East Manor, tons of great food and drink within walking distance. The room is gorgeous -- cozy but minimal, lots of natural light, bright colors, very comfortable. Will definitely look to stay again whenever I'm in Austin!"
2592427,44665461,2015-08-28,21222639,Jason,Grace was kind and worked hard to ready the space for us. The welcome card was a nice touch. 
2592427,44861465,2015-08-29,25565013,Jenna,"Grace was so sweet and welcoming! My husband and I loved her little place- it was perfect. It was simple, but equipped with everything you would need. And it's decorated so cute, very Austin-esque! Highly recommend Grace and Gregg's spot and would definitely stay again"
2592427,45225555,2015-08-31,26714877,Gershom,This was a very cozy and humble place to stay for the weekend. Close to UT campus. I enjoyed watching squirrels run across the tree branches. Grace and her friends were chilling in the backyard with their two friendly pups when we arrived. It was fun!
2592427,46120215,2015-09-08,22324073,Kat,"This was our first ever Air BnB experience and we really enjoyed our 4 night stay in the studio. Loved the decor, bed was very comfortable after a long day exploring the city and our room had all the amenities we could need. Jug of cold water in the fridge and extra toiletries were a great touch!

The detailed house manual helped us find great restaurants just minutes from the end of our street. Thanks also for including the bus timetable, it helped get us around Austin on a budget!

2592427,47268709,2015-09-17,11510257,Erica,This was small space that worked perfectly for my needs for a business trip. It was nice to be in a residential neighborhood and within walking of several restaurants. Grace was very generous.
2592427,47638603,2015-09-21,36008127,Mandy,We had a great stay at Grace Marie's place!! We walked to the UT stadium for the game and our Uber rides downtown were all between $6 and $10 depending on the traffic.  The unit was clean and a perfect size for 2 people. Lots of great natural light. We will definitely stay again if we are back in Austin!
2592427,48191451,2015-09-24,11887012,Rob,Grace Marie's place is in a great area of Austin. There were plenty of helpful hints for food recommendations and getting around. The neighbourhood was lovely! Hit up Mi Madres for breakfast!!
2592427,48990294,2015-09-30,36493760,Victoria,"What a great place to stay Grace-Marie's home was. Fantastic neighbourhood and very homely room with everything we needed - beer in the fridge, plenty of towels, clean sheets etc. Very friendly environment too and Grace & Gregg gave us lots of tips to maximise our stay in Austin. We loved it and will most definitely visit this awesome city again and if she'll have us, would love to stay at Grace's place again"
2592427,49609636,2015-10-05,40138824,Sara,"Great stay, thank you!"

2592427,50613952,2015-10-13,32858636,Ian,Staying with Grace and Gregg was awesome. The apartment is clean and has everything you could ever need. I also found it to bigger than it seemed in the pictures. They also live in an amazing neighbourhood that we really enjoyed exploring. Grace and Gregg were super friendly and gave us as much privacy as we needed but also had us down for a fun night on the back deck on a beautiful Austin evening. Hoping to make this trip a yearly tradition and we will be booking with Grace and Gregg.
2592427,50898147,2015-10-15,31377005,Kat,"I rented Grace's apartment for my sister, who was flying into Austin for the night. She said it super cute and comfortable. Tucked away in a really nice corner of east Austin, in close proximity to to eateries but still with a neighborhood feel. "

4219019,21895181,2014-10-26,19577904,Janet,"Had a wonderful birthday weekend in Austin in Rick's lovely home. Rick was extremely gracious and welcoming upon our arrival and was easy to contact regarding our arrival time.

The house was extremely spacious (4 bedroom, 3.5 bath) with plenty of room for all of us and more. We LOVED the screened-in back porch and wish we had had more time to use the pool. 

Showers were great - fantastic water pressure and plenty of hot water for all.

Good location - easy access to all the major highways."
4219019,22250715,2014-11-02,22134112,Nazeem,"Rick and Sandi Breckenridge are amazing hosts! They made us feel comfortable by leaving us a detailed step by step things to do to enjoy our stay at their home. They live right next door so we could have a peace of mind if we needed absolutely anything. The kitchen was amazingly stocked with refreshing beverages, condiments, utensils and appliances. Each bathroom had shampoo, body wash, toilet paper and other necessities stocked up. The neighborhood reminded me of my childhood neighborhood and it was very inclusive with the elementary school right next door and kids trick or treating (by our choice of course by keeping the porch lights on). The neighborhood was 10 mins to Sixth street via backroads, 1 min away from the biggest HEB I have seen (Mueller Plaza) and 1 min away from a Gulf gas station (gas price was $2.55)... The bedrooms were comfortable for the 10 of us staying, and Rick made sure he had sleeping space for all 10 of us ready before we checked in. The sunroom is an amazing place to chill and reconnect/reminisce with close friends and family (the temperature was in the 50's so we started the fireplace and roasted some s'mores)"
4219019,22682577,2014-11-11,3961378,Charlotte,Had a lovely stay in Austin in this beautiful home! Rick was very friendly and helpful. The many beds and bathrooms made having a large group no problem at all! The fireplace in the sunroom was especially a highlight!
4219019,23408151,2014-11-30,9789426,Krishna,"Rick's house was great, really spacious and very well provisioned!
We met Rick and his son Tyler, both really fun to speak with and their dog jake was the friendliest pet ever! Thanks for making our Austin stay awesome and memorable!"
4219019,26249923,2015-02-08,11145432,Brittany,"Rick is AWESOME! I celebrated my 30th birthday with a group of friends from out of town. Rick was super accommodating, incredibly friendly, and easy going. The house came stocked with certain refreshments and snacks and Rick even took the time to make us nachos for a late night snack. He was incredibly gracious and forgiving when one of my friends accidently ripped the shower curtain. The house itself is perfect for large reunions and/or families that want to hang out and see Austin. Thanks for a great stay Rick!"
4219019,26558984,2015-02-15,27190990,Albert,"Rick and Sandi did an amazing job for us. Their place was immaculate and welcoming. They were both warm and incredibly attentive-- Rick went out of his way even via text to make sure we were connected and well on our way in our adventure in Austin. Highly recommended, and we'd stay here again!"
4219019,27585465,2015-03-08,26767101,Matt,"Rick was a great host, who provided everything we were looking for in a house and more.  The description of the house is spot on, and was perfect for our trip to Austin.  There was a minor plumbing issue during our time there, and Rick was all over it and got the problem fixed with us hardly noticing.  Couldn't have asked for a better host."
4219019,29267628,2015-04-06,26875930,Steve,"Great neighborhood, great location, top notch hosts. Rick & Sandi had every base covered. Board games, video game system, great music selection. Rick brought over chef's knives, a large table for a rehearsal party, pool toys for the kids to use when swimming and even supplied me with a piece of sandpaper to help me finish a last minute project! Who does that? Don't let the pictures fool you, this place is huge. We had 14 people & no problems with anything. We hope to stay with them again."
4219019,29729805,2015-04-12,26314064,Becky,"Rick was absolutely fantastic! Was quick to respond to all of our inquiries,  and help out when we needed it.  The house had everything we needed, kitchen supplies, towels, toiletries ect. We had a group of 10 girls staying at the house and there was plenty of room and we never felt crowded at all. We felt very welcome and safe during our entire trip, Rick even told us we could reach out to him if we needed anything when we were away from the house! I would highly recommend staying here, and want to stay with them again if I ever have another big group event in Austin!"
4219019,30192324,2015-04-19,12303158,Ramona,"The house was perfect for our family of 8 adults with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths and 1 half bath, 2 living areas (each with a futon bed & sofa), plus a fantastic sunroom and pool.  All the amenities, including a huge selection of great music.  Rick and Sandy were extremely accommodating hosts.  We plan to return next year and will recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
4219019,30817607,2015-04-27,13665532,Jovin,"Rick was a great host during our stay in Austin, and was always available either by phone or just a short walk next door.  The house was gorgeous, well-kept, and well-stocked with utensils to make it a great place to host multiple guests.  The pool was also great, and there was a grill available for use.  Our dragon boat team has agreed, this is one of our top experiences in a rented home and hope to be back here again next year!"
4219019,31216167,2015-05-03,25080097,Hannah,Rick and Sandy are awesome.  They made us feel very welcome and we felt very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay to the fullest! Best birthday weekend thanks to Rick and Sandy! 
4219019,31790180,2015-05-10,29112005,Michael,Rick was a big help accommodating a 1am arrival and even providing drinks for us and giving suggestions about activities. The house was perfect and spacious and the pool was a welcome addition as well as the swing in the patio. Very clean and comfortable. Ideally situated close to downtown Austin and many attractions/activities in and around Austin. I will definitely be coming back here. 
4219019,33680944,2015-05-31,23466157,Meadow,"Rick and Sandy were fantastic hosts.  The house is spacious and has numerous sleeping options.  I don't think anyone in our group of 9 even ended up sharing a bed.  The neighborhood is not exactly walkable to bars or restaurants, but it was convenient to get around town, so long as you have a car.  The pool was great!  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for an Austin getaway.
"
4219019,34314289,2015-06-07,32543569,Jake,"The place was really great and had plenty of room for a large group, perfect for a bachelor party of 10+. Rick came by to welcome us and was available if we needed anything. The pool in the back is awesome, especially in the summer, but the back porch gets a little hot unless you bring in some fans."
4219019,36256974,2015-06-27,465455,Thomas,"This home was the perfect place for our little family reunion.  The location was perfect.  And Rick is right about the HEB in the neighborhood - it has everything you can think of! 

The place had plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds, ample bathrooms, a variety of couches and places to hang, large table for eating together, a stocked kitchen, laundry facilities, and a BEAUTIFUL POOL!.  We utilized that pool every day and it was a great place for gathering everyone together.  They even provided pool floats and toys, to include a volley ball setup.  

Rick and Sandi are wonderful and very friendly hosts.  They are outgoing and always have a positive attitude.  We had multiple communications prior to our arrival and they always responded quickly. 
  
Our family all agrees, this is a great place to stay while in Austin.  We hope to return again next year!   
"
4219019,37143828,2015-07-05,28767074,Katie,"Wonderful, large home on quiet street. Plenty of room for our group of seven to spread out. Pool was a major plus! Close to grocery store and shopping while downtown was at most ten minutes away. I even shipped some necessities for our stay to the hosts prior to arrival. Rick and Sandi were beyond hospitable and I would recommend this spot to anyone looking to hideaway in Austin!"
4219019,37973575,2015-07-12,32765602,Andrew,"Thank you Rick and Sandy for such a pleasant stay! The house looks way more spacious then the pictures show. We enjoyed how the house provided basically everything we needed like extra towels, pots and pans, and bath products. Overall, our stay was very pleasant and I highly recommend this house to everyone. "
4219019,38487016,2015-07-16,7877135,Josh,"The host was very attentive to all of our needs and very welcoming.  The home was spacious and well equipped, with plenty of beds, bathrooms and we loved the covered/screened porch and pool.  The home is a bit dated and the bedding could have been more comfy, making the value only marginal.  But overall we had a good experience. "
4219019,39776279,2015-07-26,17039476,Cara,"Rick had a beautiful, large house that worked perfectly for our bachelorette party. The pool was great and Rick was very helpful!"
4219019,41758217,2015-08-09,34670712,Stephanie,"I booked this house for a bachelorette weekend getaway and I couldn't be happier with the way it went! The house was the perfect size to accommodate all our guests, the pool was clean and perfect for cooling off and relaxing during the day and Rick was awesome! I would definitely recommend booking with him."
4219019,42850325,2015-08-16,11133749,Jenny,"This was one of my best AirBnB experiences! Rick was such a gracious host. When we got to the house, we found granola bars, shot glasses, make-up wipe removers (so amazing!!), shampoo, and everything else that plus'sed up this experience. The house was so comfortable and spacious. We loved the rocking bench in the sun room! Rick even stopped by to say hi during our last day which was really personal and sweet. If I ever come back to Austin, I am looking up Rick on AirBnB!"
4219019,44919045,2015-08-30,35028624,Bria,"The house was perfect for my group - very spacious with lots of rooms so everyone could have some privacy. Our schedule didn't allow us to meet with our hosts much but they made sure we knew that they were available if there was anything we needed. Very cozy, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something that feels more like home than a hotel."
4219019,47700726,2015-09-21,40614849,Ben,We had a great experience with Rick and the house. It was perfect for our group of 12. Just 10-15 mins away from downtown.
4219019,48552055,2015-09-27,8524686,Lisa,We rented this home for the OSU/UT game and it was everything we expected.  Photos are current and true.  It was close to campus so it was easy to get to and from the game.  Part of our group arrived before I did and Rick and Sandy gave them the key and welcomed them.  The house was stocked with coffee and teas as well as other snack items.  We all loved the enclosed porch with the porch swing.  We would definitely stay here again.  Thanx Rick and Sandy for having us.  
4219019,49423047,2015-10-04,13872560,Sunny,We loved our time with Rick and Sandy. They were both super friendly and hospitable. The house is so large and comfy. Great stay!

7274688,49491249,2015-10-04,4705910,Nicole,"We had a great stay! The condo is very tastefully decorated with high-end linens, towels, and furnishings. Everything was clean and well-maintained, with all the amenities needed to enjoy our extended stay. The location is very convenient to downtown, Westlake, and has easy access to Mopac and 360. Sara was very gracious, responsive to any questions, and accommodating. We would highly recommend the condo and would definitely stay again. "

Steven and Becca are wonderful hosts, they provide loads of info on where to visit, how to get there and also left us a little welcome pack of nibbles and wine. Really great experience from initial query email to (sadly) leaving and handing back the keys! 

Highly recommended! 

Thank you
Sally"
72633,222999,2011-04-11,431358,Penny & Fred,"I highly recommend The Rusty Box!!!  It is a delightful and unusual experience.  It was like being inside of a contemporary minimalist art piece.  And for an artist that is a real treat.  It was a visual and sensual pleasure to move around in the light open space.  The combined design and materials of The Rusty Box tucked under the branches of a huge Live Oak tree in the back yard made it feel like a tree house, especially in the master bedroom.

Everything that is written in the description is accurate and much more.  It is a very centrally located and within walking distance of a hip eating and shopping area.  On the corner of the block is The Herb Bar which has an extensive array of natural health and body care products including Texas flower essences.  Also you an get a chair massage.

Becca is an excellent host as she made us feel right at home. She left us wine, snacks, and breakfast pastries.  She has prepared notes and magazines with information about the area and the house..   Be sure and read the section in the 2006 Austin AIA Homes Tour Book to get more information about Becca and Steve and the building of the house.  Very interesting. 

Thank you, Becca and Steve, for sharing your home. 

Penny, Fred, and Robyn
San Diego, California"

72633,637933,2011-10-17,1218085,Carrie,My sister and her daughters absolutely loved staying at this house!  The location is terrific and the hosts were more than accommodating.  My nieces especially enjoyed all of the toys that were there for them to play with.  I would definitely recommend this house to future guests.
72633,994757,2012-03-13,275631,Matthew,"Fantastic House; Amazing Host.  Could not have been happier.  Like staying in a five star hotel, but much better.  Amazing location.  This is the house to stay in if you go to Austin."
72633,1015885,2012-03-19,199612,Rebecca,"Really good Soco location, right behind magnolia.  the house was user friendly and the hostessing was spot on.  Can def recommend it but for SXSW goers be warned it's a fair plod up to the action and back with little chance of a taxi so be prepared to walk.  i like that so all good. but my feet are not sure"
72633,1072107,2012-04-02,1780281,Derek,Great place in the best Austin location!  Becca and Steven were very helpful!  Would definitely visit again.
72633,1839920,2012-07-30,2824428,Pete,This was a wonderful house to stay at. You couldn't ask for a better location. Becca was an excellent host. I would recommend this to anyone.
72633,2617700,2012-10-15,1652842,Ben,"Becca's house is truly amazing.  Beautiful modern architecture, super clean, and a huge backyard and deck.  The location can't be beat.  It's right off of South Congress and about a block from the wonderful Magnolia Cafe.  And Becca was a fantastic host.  She showed us around the house and left us various snacks and a six pack of Shiner Bock beer. And she was flexible on the check out time, which was great.  I couldn't have asked for a better experience.  I would definitely stay there again. "
72633,2814640,2012-11-05,1702514,Caitlin,"Becca is a dream host. Not only is the house stunning and comfortable at the same time, it's in a tremendous location just off fun and hip South Congress. She went above and beyond by shopping for us so we had food for our 11 month old upon arrival. She also left us a terrific bottle of wine in addition to all the kitchen staples you'll need during your stay. Communication with her before our trip was flawless and she made herself readily available during our stay for any questions and suggestions for proper Austin visiting. We will definitely come back and hope to stay in Becca's beautiful home. Thank you, Becca!"
72633,2925313,2012-11-20,2314689,Tom,"Becca and her family have a lovely home in the perfect spot on South Congress, Austin, TX.  I highly recommend renting here if you're planning a visit to Austin.  South Congress is an ideal location, with lots of great restaurants and shops, and the house is perfectly located in the middle of the action, but not on the main street, so it's still quiet and secluded.  

The house itself is quite novel, with a unique layout and modern design that makes it fun to walk through and experience.  We had plenty of room for the four of us, and enjoyed the nice artistic touches throughout.

Austin is one of the best cities on the planet, and if you're going to visit, whether to hit the outdoors or downtown, this is a great place to stay, I would most definitely rent here again."
72633,8825296,2013-11-19,3834287,Rodney,great house! great location! great Host!
72633,10422657,2014-02-18,2536872,Jacob,Beautiful house + wonderful hosts
72633,10917231,2014-03-13,2122251,Lassi,"What a super stay! We stayed at the ""Rusty Box"" as the house is called for the duration of SXSW Interactive with my colleague. It's a big house for a 2-bedroom one, with both bedrooms affording privacy for the guests. We also hosted colleagues over for a backyard barbecue on the beautiful terrace. The location in lively South Congress is perfect, with a bike ride to downtown taking less than ten minutes. There is great cafe right around the corner, plus more shops and restaurants just down Congress. The interior design is impeccable and the whole building has tons of character and sophistication. Add to that very friendly hosts and a problem-free stay, and it's an Airbnb I can recommend without hesitation."
72633,12582121,2014-05-05,1666094,Louis,The house is great and perfectly fit in the SOCO neighborhood. I would greatly recommend it. Everything was smooth and fine.
72633,20575678,2014-10-01,1324410,E,Lovely house and wonderful host!
72633,21597181,2014-10-20,11365415,E,We had a fabulous time staying  at the Rusty Box house.  Becca is very accommodating and worked with our schedule for our stay.  The house is in a great location and was perfect for our needs.  
72633,22288391,2014-11-03,13283626,Josh,"Beautiful, comfortable home on a great, walkable neighborhood. Becca was a wonderful host, very hospitable yet respectful of privacy. Though the Rusty Box is not inexpensive, I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it and wants to stay in SoCo."
72633,23427824,2014-12-01,20708666,Kerri,"This house and the hosts are winderful for an Austin stay.  Clean, neat, comfortable, and well designed, and convenient to walk to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress.  The hosts made special efforts to orient us to the house and checked in by text during our stay to see that all was going well.  If there was a rating of perfect I would gladly give that to the Rusty Box."
72633,26985994,2015-02-23,1731648,Jordan,"My wife and I and another couple had a perfect visit. The house was great and centrally located to everything. 
Becca was very helpful with everything we needed. 
It was like being at home in a different city.  We will definitely try to stay here on out next visit. "
72633,28450278,2015-03-23,4579421,Nicole,"Becca's house is positively beautiful, and very comfortable. The hosts have a binder with all of the info you need, as well as menus for local restaurants. They left us a bottle of wine and some beer to enjoy, and even some snacks in the fridge. Everything about the stay was ideal - it was easy, comfortable, clean, safe, and all of our needs were met. 

Becca also helped us out at the last-minute, which was a lifesaver during SxSW. She was flexible, easy to reach, and very friendly and communicative. 

I highly recommend Becca's AirBnB!"
72633,29725111,2015-04-12,1666588,Matthew,"The house is even more beautiful in person. Great location a block away from Magnolia Cafe south and only a few blocks from all of the great restaurants and stores along Congress. 

We had our wedding here under the great tree in the backyard and it was a perfect setting for an intimate ceremony."
72633,47988651,2015-09-22,36746477,John,Great neighborhood right off Congress.  The hosts could not be nicer and was very welcoming.  They were very attentive to our needs.  House design was very cool.
72633,49765272,2015-10-06,22622429,Phil,Becca is a wonderful host and asked us if we needed anything for the house and then gave us amazing recommendations for around town.  Amazing!
3445819,17907032,2014-08-18,558987,Leyla,Jamie was a very sweet host and the apartment was cute. Its in a great location near the conference center in downtown Austin. 
3445819,18701097,2014-08-30,19867655,Mike,"Jamie was in touch with minutes and approved my request only a few minutes afterward. She was even willing to let me check in early! The loft was in an amazing location, very nice part of town and only a few blocks to the South Congress Bat Bridge. Felt like I struck gold. As for the interior, super clean with a homey feel. Check-in was a breeze and everything else worked as advertised. The only negative thing I can say is that I didn't know about it earlier. Thanks Jamie."
3445819,18842210,2014-09-01,20322838,Chelsea,"Jamie was a great host. She was prompt with her responses and flexible with check in times. The location was perfect. We were right in the middle of everything. The loft was just like the picture showed, very clean and cute. "
3445819,19056545,2014-09-05,6645470,Matthew,"Perfect: spacious, clean, air conditioned, tasteful, fun, classy. Ultra convenient location. Secure apartment complex. Perfect hosts. Can't say enough; wish I could move in."
3445819,19180984,2014-09-07,18766049,Joshua,"Great apartment, as described, very communicative host, 5 stars."
3445819,19392786,2014-09-11,19264215,Hana,"Location was perfect! This is so close to 6th st where all the bars are at. Everything is walking distance including top BBQ places, cafés and other restaurants. The apartment is very clean, with air conditioning which was handy during the Austin heat. The kitchen is fully equipped, good pressure in the shower and a very soft comfortable bed. Will definitely recommend the place."
3445819,19558077,2014-09-14,11433867,Mitra,Great location and great place. The directions were easy to follow and the place was perfect for what I needed. 
3445819,19827137,2014-09-19,19688881,Michael,"Felt welcome.  Location was perfect for my needs.  Host was helpful when I had a problem with my internet, and tried to accommodate my late check out request. "
3445819,19973005,2014-09-21,21149203,Spencer,"What a wonderful and easy experience! From the start, Jamie was incredibly helpful - she answered all of my pre-booking questions promptly. The system Jamie has in place is great and made everything super simple - it made our trip very easy to manage. 

The apartment is exactly as advertised and completely adorable!! It's in a FABULOUS location and perfect for anyone. I highly recommend booking!"
3445819,20110040,2014-09-23,19058719,Michael,"Exactly what I expected, and it's right in the heart of everything! Jamie was great, the space was great and the location was great! I couldn't have asked for more."
3445819,20163172,2014-09-24,840687,Chris,Jamie's condo was very nice and located in the heart of downtown Austin. I cannot wait to stay there again. 
3445819,20352583,2014-09-28,20362810,Jennifer,"We had a great stay in Austin, and part of that was having a great little place to call home. Everything you need for a little holiday, and a great location right downtown.  We were able to walk or cab everywhere we went.
Jamie was super responsive and very helpful for planning.  If you just need something private and basic, I'd highly recommend this spot!
Thanks,
Jenn"
3445819,21076533,2014-10-11,7166156,Lee,"Great location, good job of providing all the necessary basics, space was as advertised and met all expectations!"
3445819,21172291,2014-10-12,22099641,Sam,"The apartment looked exactly like the pictures and was incredibly clean - great, convenient location, no hassle at all getting in or out. It's a great location for three people, a fourth can fit if you get creative (or don't mind being very close on a futon). I would definitely stay here again when I'm in town."
3445819,21337078,2014-10-15,8164596,Anthony,"Jamie's apartment was exactly as described, and overall a totally great place to stay. The neighborhood is wonderful and the apartment is walkable to lots of downtown Austin. Communication with Jamie was easy and prompt, and I would not hesitate to stay at any of her listings again."
3445819,21481155,2014-10-18,908738,Georgia,"This airbnb experience was exactly what we had hoped for. We actually did not see our hosts, but they were very responsive via email and text, so we had all the information we needed. 
The instructions that we received prior to arriving were excellent and it was easy to find and access the apartment. 
Everything about the apartment is exactly as promised and was perfect for our needs. It's super centrally located and clean and nice. Would absolutely recommend! "
3445819,21656623,2014-10-21,10203296,Jennifer,"We had a great time in Austin. The apartment was exactly as described, comfy bed and sofa bed, great location and in great condition."
3445819,21784066,2014-10-24,3238930,Tara,"Staying at Jamie's apartment was a great experience. The neighborhood feels safe and is very close to nightlife, shops, restaurants, and landmarks. The apartment is well-kept and comfortable (air conditioned, comfy bed, nice kitchen and bathroom, laundry facilities). Jamie was very responsive and accommodating and went above and beyond. I'd highly recommend staying here the next time you're in Austin!"
3445819,22158831,2014-10-31,22544542,Natalia,"I booked this for one of our marketing professionals who was taking a business trip to Austin. Jamie was extremely prompt in getting back to me, and we had it all reserved in no time and for a great price in an ideal location. Our employee said that the place was PERFECT and had absolutely no complaints! Highly recommended :)"
3445819,22440109,2014-11-06,22919809,Paul,"Excellent location and wonderful condo/apt. Jamie was great to work with and very accommodating! The condo is not on the street level which provided a quiet night's sleep, and the furnishings were just right with everything needed.  Highly recommend staying here for business or pleasure travel. "
3445819,22520496,2014-11-09,631284,Scott,This was a perfect spot for a weekend getaway in Austin. The location is perfect and the unit was clean and everything we needed for a weekend in town. Highly recommend and will stay again when we come back.
3445819,22837305,2014-11-16,22256857,Nick,"I stayed at Jamie's apartment with a friend for 3 nights and it was the perfect rental for an Austin trip.

Jamie was quick to respond to any questions throughout and the keypad entry system made for convenient and easy access.

There's thoughtful art & cool furniture, great necessities throughout and the location can't be beat. You'll be blocks away from the main 6th Street area, a modest walk to the Rainee Street and Guadalupe Street districts, and we even had a nice longer walk over the bridge to the South Congress district, which has a unique mix of shops & restaurants.

Jamie's place is exactly what we were looking for and was a great experience for my first time using AirBnB."
3445819,23096377,2014-11-23,20607416,Ivonne,"The apartment was very clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything needed for a few days stay.  "
3445819,23311988,2014-11-28,4376835,MaryKay,"We had a wonderful stay at Jamie's place.  It was the perfect spot for our trip to Austin.  Thanks so much & we will defiantly tell our friends about your cozy place.
Thank you!
Mary Kay & Ryan  "
3445819,23749188,2014-12-09,18416371,Tori,"Clean, comfortable, and convenient. A great first AirBnb experience. "
3445819,24442413,2014-12-28,5685725,David,"A very clean and comfortable apartment in a terrific location. Convenient to lots of different Austin neighborhoods. Jamie was great to deal with -- very helpful and accommodating in answering questions before we reserved and even during our stay. The apartment really only sleeps three adults comfortably. 
The sleeper-sofa in the living room is too small for two adults, in my opinion. It would be fine for two small children. Parking on the street was a bit of a hassle, though manageable. We ended up parking across the street at the Marriott, which was very easy and convenient, though cost $24 a day. Potential guests who plan to bring their own cars should budget a little extra for parking, whether on the street or at the hotel.   "
3445819,24526858,2014-12-30,11309250,Meg,"This is a sweet little apartment right downtown. Jamie and Ben were super responsive to communication and flexible when we added an extra couple guests at the last minute. We had a little trouble with the shower the first day but the property manager was there within minutes to help us sort it out and everything was otherwise exactly as advertised. I'd definitely recommend the place to someone who wants a clean, simple one-bedroom in a pleasant building in the downtown area."
3445819,24644241,2015-01-01,22686769,Jenny,The apartment was as described and we enjoyed our stay.  It was comfortable and close to many things.  The owners and property manager were very responsive when we couldn't get the shower working and it was all worked out quickly.  I would recommend it.  
3445819,25102854,2015-01-06,24807981,Martha,"This was our first trip to Austin and this unit was in an ideal location.  We found the apartment was plenty spacious for two, and there is an on-site property manager who was very helpful.  She can answer all of your questions.  We did not rent a vehicle, and we were able to walk or use the b cycle bike share system to get around the city.  

We loved Austin and hope to return soon."
3445819,25238586,2015-01-10,2179979,Colleen,Jamie's place was a GREAT location- close to the bus stop and car2go parking; lots within walking distance. Jamie was quick to respond and very helpful prior to the trip. I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends/family!!! 
3445819,25377151,2015-01-13,25472504,Leah,"We had a wonderful stay at this apartment! It was comfortable, clean, and in a perfect location.  This was my first airbnb experience and Jamie was very helpful!"
3445819,25503901,2015-01-18,21022508,Russell,Place was great. Very convenient and in a great location right downtown. Host was quick to respond to questions and flexible in accommodating us. Could not recommend enough!
3445819,25642002,2015-01-21,23913290,Courtney,Great location and a perfect spot to rest after a long day.  Bed was comfortable and the complex was quiet throughout the night.  Thank you!
3445819,25723583,2015-01-24,781004,Morgan,"Perfect place, very comfortable and great location for the downtown area and Jamie was so helpful. They even helped us look for another place when we wanted to extend and it was unavailable. "
3445819,25927060,2015-01-30,22757737,Jesse,"I stayed for 6 nights in January. The weather was fabulous. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and in a great location close to downtown. 6th street music scene is 2 blocks away, perfect for those late nights out! Communication with Jamie was amazing and prompt, check-in was super easy. The property manager lives on site, so any problems would be really easy to solve (although I didn't have any problems).  I would definitely stay again.  The place could use a toaster, but otherwise had everything I needed.  Laundry and dryer were really useful.  "
3445819,26049278,2015-02-02,24679116,Heidi,"The apartment was exactly as it appeared in pictures, super clean and with a lot of amenities. The location really can't be beat, everything in downtown Austin is within walking distance, I'm really glad we didn't rent a  car! There was a lot of noise from the hallway at night. That said, I would stay here again and absolutely recommend this apartment!"
3445819,26135360,2015-02-04,4202041,Christopher,"The space was exactly as described and in the photographs, it is very clear that Jamie is a professional airbnB host. The housekeeping service was exactly on time to turn down linens and and sure everything was all set. An excellent experience. If you are a business traveler, the only thing I would note is that there is no desk or working space so I would be prepared to bring your own or just be aware that you will probably need to set up a laptop on the eat in kitchen bar. having a washer and dryer in the unit was exceptionally handy!"
3445819,26169429,2015-02-05,1574315,Erin,"Getting to and into the apartment was really easy and straightforward. Jamie gave all the necessary information for a smooth check in and seamless experience. The apartment was great, exactly how it's portrayed, and in the perfect location."
3445819,26732675,2015-02-18,23566198,Ryan,"Excellent place!  We stayed for the Austin Marathon and the location is as close to perfect as it gets.  Two blocks from the start and three from the finish.   It was also great to have a washer and dryer so that we didn't have to repack dirty running clothes.

"
3445819,26908909,2015-02-22,11055492,Mary,"This apartment was absolutely perfect for me - it was pleasant and comfortable, but most of all, it was directly across the street from the Convention Center so that I could easily come and go from my conference. There are a million restaurants and bars within blocks. I took an Uber up to the big Whole Foods at Lamar and 6th to stock up the kitchen. One snag: the place wasn't properly cleaned when I arrived, and I had to make the bed and wash the dirty towels. Not fun, but Jamie's response was exactly what it should have been, and I really cannot fault her. Crap happens. I only mention it in the interest of total honesty. I would stay there again, even so. "
3445819,27093058,2015-02-25,11559075,Mike,Excellent location! The instructions were simple and straightforward and the unit was clean and modern. Thanks again.
3445819,27491669,2015-03-06,24836178,Kimber,"I agree with the other reviewers -- you can't do much better in terms of location, and the condo is clean, comfortable, safe, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. Jamie is very responsive and helpful, and even worked with me to let me store my bag after checkout during the last day of my conference. I couldn't be happier with my experience overall! The only thing I'll note is that the unit is very dark during the daytime -- as in, you can't necessarily tell it's light out in the morning. But hopefully you'll be out enjoying Austin during the day anyway (or you'll appreciate the dark when you want to sleep in after a late night!)."
3445819,28071241,2015-03-17,8845711,Arnold,Perfect location. Very accommodating. Super responsive. 
3445819,28300722,2015-03-22,16016387,Lee,"Great place. Was an awesome location, very tidy and best of all it was quiet on the night. This is the perfect location for downtown Austin"
3445819,28506563,2015-03-24,14696119,Natalie,"Place was spectacular, just what I wanted! It was right down the street from the conference I was attending and a quick 5 min walk to 6th street. Living room is great, bed i incredibly comfy. Huge walk-in closet if you need it. Spectacularly clean! And very detailed house instructions. Overall a fantastic experience with zero issues. "
3445819,28599567,2015-03-27,1007844,Erica,"Jamie's space was PERFECT. Not only was it exactly as pictured, it was in the most ideal location. It was extremely clean, comfortable, well-decorated, and spacious for the three of us. Jamie was also very helpful prior to our arrival in Austin. She provided us with recommendations and assistance. It was a great, easy experience from start to finish. "
3445819,28686185,2015-03-28,17548191,Donna,"The listing description and photos are dead-on.  The location is fantastic as it is in walking distance to 6th St, Rainey St and there is a Starbucks in the Marriott that's directly across the street.      

Having been given excellent instructions, entering the building and the apartment was a breeze.  

We did not need to contact the hosts nor the on-site property manager during our short stay since everything was in working order, plus linens/towels/bath essentials were provided.

Thank you for listing your wonderful apartment!

"
3445819,28924893,2015-04-01,23960694,Brenda,"First time users of air BNB, everything went smoothly finding and getting into the apartment. It was an excellent location, the airport bus is on the corner, it also goes to the university very handy.  Also hotel across the road meant taxis were always around. It was all very tidy, clean and all the basics you need for a short stay. There was no street or people noise that you could hear from the apartment. If you are sensitive to noise or light take a mask and ear plugs as the court yard lightseeps through and the outside air conditioning pump buzzes,  but to put it in perspective, it didn't worry my husband, he slept well"
3445819,29136250,2015-04-04,29955016,Brit,It was so wonderful that the apartment had lots of extra blankets and an air mattress. There was also plenty of space for all of us to comfortably sleep. The apartment was in wonderful condition and so clean. The neighborhood was absolutely wonderful and made us feel very safe. 
3445819,29520593,2015-04-08,1846693,Stefan,"The place is completely keyless which made it very comfortable to check in. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. 

The bed was pretty loud, so expect audible feedback when you turn ;). Bathroom was excellent and it was all very clean. 

The location is unbeatable. "
3445819,29867503,2015-04-13,18879773,Ashley,We only stayed here one night but the location was perfect for walking around the 6th street area. The apartment was as in pictures and the couch was surprisingly comfortable compared to most futons/sofa beds. Kitchen looked nice but we didn't use it. The tv had full cable and even HBO which was a great surprise.  The only hitch was that the shower didn't appear to have been given a good scrub recently. 
3445819,30021267,2015-04-16,27954953,Aaron,"The place was very easy to find. The instructions were clear and included everything I needed to know. There were also some snacks left out on the counter when I arrived, which was a nice touch. It's also in a great location, with easy access to all kinds of entertainment, dining, and the river."
3445819,30419649,2015-04-21,30926962,Molly,The location of the loft is wonderful!  Within walking distance of many great places and areas in Austin.  The pictures are very accurate of the loft as well.  The keyless entry made checking in and out very easy.  
3445819,30681904,2015-04-26,28965833,Kristen,Location was great and the condo has everything you'd need for a stay. It was clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Jamie was quick to respond and the keyless system made check-in/check-out easy. 
3445819,31107537,2015-05-02,2488376,Julie,Nice clean place close to everything.  Great communication.  Thanks!
3445819,31601423,2015-05-07,5531898,Jade,"The apartment was just as described. You can't beat the location, walking distance to bars on 6th Street and a quick drive away to Rainy Street and the river. The apartment was very clean, including the bathroom and kitchen. Instructions provided by Jamie about getting into the Airbnb were very organized and clear. It was a delight to stay at this Airbnb and would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Austin."
3445819,31630919,2015-05-08,839967,Alexandra,Great stay in a perfect location. Thank you!
3445819,32527923,2015-05-19,2326107,John,"We had a great time at this apartment! The location is perfectly central to downtown and you can walk anywhere you'd need. The host and property manager were very accomodating with allowing us to keep our bags in the apartment. As an NYC-er, a washer and dryer in the apartment was the most luxurious feature. :-)"
3445819,32705353,2015-05-20,24162345,Angie,This was a perfect place to stay in Austin. Very convenient for arrival and departure and the location was ideal.  The condo is very clean and feels spacious.  We'd definitely stay here again if we return to Austin. 
3445819,32911821,2015-05-23,29265117,Alison,"Jamie was very helpful and nice, and although I knew I would not directly meet her because she lives out of state, she checked with me several times to make sure I understood how to get in, etc.."
3445819,34792020,2015-06-12,14048945,Rachel,"The instructions were very clear and the keyless entry made it very easy to get in! No problems at all. Jamie let me check in a little early so I could make it to a work event, even with short notice. The condo was small but lovely; nicely decorated and fully stocked. It took me a few tries to figure out the shower - pull the handle straight out to turn it on! Having laundry available was my favorite part, having been in Austin for over a week when I arrived at the condo. The complex was very quiet and peaceful, and it was nice to wake up to birds in the courtyard. Great location close to many things downtown, and Car2Go parking right across the street by the lightrail."
3445819,34922178,2015-06-13,1284108,Sarah,Our stay in Jaime's place was fantastic! We emailed her last minute and it worked out perfectly. We were close to everything we wanted to do and had plenty of space for the three of us! She was responsive and gave us all the necessary details. You'd never guess she was hundreds of miles away! 
3445819,35398331,2015-06-18,13505488,Lauren,"I had a wonderful experience staying in Jamie's 1BR Downtown.  The apartment was very convenient in terms of location, access and proximity.  I was experiencing some ""user error"" with Jamie's shower, and Margaux (the property manager) answered my text promptly to troubleshoot my stupidity.  I feel both Jamie and Margaux go above and beyond to maintain a pristine yet homely space.  Much better than a hotel and better value.  I would recommend to anyone."
3445819,36444197,2015-06-28,31281283,Brian,The room was great! Close to everything and easy to access. Would recommend.
3445819,36799488,2015-07-01,34783587,Alfred,"My GF & I enjoyed our stay in Jamie's 1BR apt. It's the perfect size for a couple who plans to stay out most of the day exploring Austin and having a washer/dryer in the apt was a nice plus. The apt was exactly like how it was shown in the pictures and was an amazing value compared to the hotels in the same area. It is also walking distance to so many cool places downtown. Like others have commented the shower was tricky to figure out at first but we were eventually able to figure it out. The only negative thing I can really think of was the bed was really noisey probably due to being an older box spring mattress but it was still surprisingly comfortable. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in the heart of Downtown Austin."
3445819,37026668,2015-07-03,5301218,Vanessa,This apartment was great! The best parts about it had to be the lively colors and perfect location. It even made me sad that we were only staying for one night. I would definitely book this place again on the next trip to Austin!
3445819,38424078,2015-07-15,10027181,Kate,"Great little place right in the heart of downtown Austin. Incredibly easy to get to and from the airport by bus with the stop just across the street. Jamie was fantastic at getting back to me and I was able to store my luggage until the afternoon on the day of checkout. Easy to access all areas of Austin by foot, even if it was hot out! "
3445819,38651736,2015-07-17,25439109,Paul,Had a great stay! The place was very comfortable and clean. Right across the street from the convention center  so a perfect location for anyone in town for a conference. Highly recommend it. 
3445819,38877981,2015-07-19,27698288,Sarah,"The listing was just as described and shown, very cute and quaint. Very welcoming. The host left little notes to help with any questions or possible things we would need like grocery bags or finding a light switch. The location is perfect if you want to walk around downtown, go to nearby restaurants, and visit sixth street. Not having to drive all weekend was wonderful and especially safer after a few drinks.
It was a little confusing when we arrived because the apartment does not come with a parking spot—this was not mentioned in the post or itinerary, however it was pretty easy to find parking right around the apartment at a meter.
Definitely recommended as a great place to stay!"
3445819,40523316,2015-07-31,12906190,Christy,"Loved staying at this location! The room was nice, location was great for walking around downtown and enjoying the river."
3445819,40631715,2015-08-01,34990441,Adam,"The listing was perfectly accurate.  The condo was nice and well kept.  It is pretty bare bones so pack in whatever you think you will need.   There was easy entry with no issues, if you follow the directions.  The location is perfect for anything happening in Downtown Austin.  I would certainly stay there again.   "
3445819,41430994,2015-08-07,20332341,Todd,We were in Austin for a convention and the location could not have been more convenient.  Right by the center and by all the downtown restaurants and bars for after hours (website hidden) was cold and bed was comfy.  Host also was able to arrange a private parking spot when asked.  
3445819,41927221,2015-08-10,4744182,Jennifer,The apartment was in a great location. It was very warm and inviting and really easy to get to. The Visitors Center is also just down the street which is a great place to buy affordable bus passes!
3445819,42734689,2015-08-15,39125167,Mitchell,Always a pleasure to stay with Jamie! Great apartment that had everything I needed and more. Couldn't recommend more highly.
3445819,43765955,2015-08-22,34858736,Ryan,"This was our first AirBnB experience and it could not have been any better. The condo was clean and cool from the moment we step in. The communication from Jamie throughout the process put our minds at ease for what to expect. Seriously, this will change the way we travel, could not be happier."
3445819,44080755,2015-08-23,17529220,Fadi,Jamie's instructions were very clear and organized. The apartment was in agreat condition and had all the supplies and amenities one can ask for during a short weekend stay. A great location too!
3445819,44357275,2015-08-25,41159835,Matthew,My wife and I just stayed at this apartment and we loved it.  We wanted a place where we could walk around downtown and this place was perfect.  A cute apartment that had everything that we needed.  Very clean and the AC worked great as we stayed there in August and it was HOT.    I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone that wants a downtown Austin experience as this place is perfectly located.   
3445819,44510011,2015-08-26,17171328,Orr,"Was at Jamie's place for less than 24 hours, so I didn't get to thoroughly enjoy it. Location is great, very near to the heart of 6th street and generally close to everything. Kitchen is nice and updated, bed comfortable, air conditioning strong. Make sure to read about how to find the unit before you arrive, the building has a strange layout and it took me a few good minutes in sweltering heat to do so."
3445819,45443850,2015-09-02,42217268,Mary,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was perfect.  I was attending a conference at the Austin convention center.  The apartment location is perfect, literally across the street from the convention center.  The stop for the airport bus is convenient, just across the street.  Jamie's instructions were clear and complete.  The apartment is clean, cool, comfortable, and exactly as depicted in the offering.  The building is beautiful and quiet.  Jamie responded to my request very quickly.  Overall, a great experience!"
3445819,45621620,2015-09-04,12592005,Sarah,Great place and ideal location. 
3445819,46503752,2015-09-11,41216067,Omar,"Jamie's place was great - good location, easy to access, clean and comfortable.  She was always available to talk the couple times I nagged her with random questions which really helped me feel secure staying here.  I'd recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit Austin and stay downtown only steps away from great bars and restaurants."
3445819,46761889,2015-09-13,21045071,Jason,"Jamie's place was comfortable, but smaller than I anticipated. She owns 2 properties in the same complex and I think I had some confusion on which I rented and ended up with the smaller. It had everything I needed for a short weekend stay and instructions were very detailed and left no confusion. Convenient access to downtown. The futon has a large divide that would make it difficult to sleep for an adult."
3445819,47127840,2015-09-15,9296565,Juae,"Jamie's apartment looked exactly as the pictures, except a little bit dirtier. It looked as though the carpets hadn't been vacuumed in quite some time. The apartment is very tidy and has everything labeled, but the dust was a little dissapointing. Everything else in the apartment down to the great location to downtown attractions was as described. What was disappointing was that there weren't bathroom essentials as described minus two body washes. I had to go buy toothpaste. The valet at the Marriott across the street does not park non-hotel guests cars, as said was possible by Jamie. But this ended up being fine because I found a parking garage 2 blocks away. Directions how to get into the apartment and instructions for house rules  were really helpful and clear. Great location. Overall, would recommend. Thanks Jamie!"
3445819,47630853,2015-09-21,29245425,Lindsey,"Before we even got to Austin, Jamie was extremely fast in her responses and very helpful with all of my questions.  We came to town for a convention, and could not have asked for a better location.  The convention center was directly across the street! Also within walking distance were an abundance of bars and restaurants - close to 6th Street and Rainey Street.  We walked everywhere!

We were welcomed with a few hand written notes, which is always a nice touch, and a very clean and fresh apartment.  All of your day to day amenities and needs are provided! The pictures are very accurate to what it looks like.  Very cute and bright!  

The only other feedback I would have is that while the description says it sleeps 4, we personally found it not a comfortable 4.  The actual bed is extremely comfortable and sleeps 2 well.  The pull out couch was not very comfortable and hard to sleep two, so we used the blow up mattress.  However, if you have the couch pulled out, the only place to put the air mattress is in front of the door, so we were constantly stepping over it - we also had to keep inflating the mattress throughout the night as it would lose air, which is not a quiet task.  That said, based on my own personal preferences, I would HIGHLY recommend this apartment for 1 or 2 people and would book again if it was just a few of us.  If you have more people, it would be harder.  And if you are a huge Starbucks fan, there is one directly across the street! 

Overall, very happy with our selection and would recommend! "
3445819,48037089,2015-09-22,41676214,Cydney,"Jamie and Ben's place was everything we hoped for! Close to Rainey Street and 6th, all the restaurants and bars, and so cute inside. Place was clean and tidy. Had everything we needed! Quiet little complex which was nice as well. Jamie was available for questions and responded in less than an hour for everything! Definitely will book this place for our next trip to Austin!"
3445819,48539056,2015-09-27,9371282,Hannah,Great central location. Easy check in and out and Jamie was able to accommodate luggage storage. However the neighbors walking past the unit were relatively loud both early morning and late night. 
3445819,48851871,2015-09-28,9737007,Joseph,Nice comfortable place. Extra nice bed.
3445819,48976203,2015-09-29,1019514,Sonya,Had a nice stay at Jamie's apt!  Communication from Jamie was prompt and accurate - was easy to access the apartment.  Convenient location allowing for easy walking to downtown locations.  Listing pictures accurate.  Great downtown location!
3445819,49589231,2015-10-05,33984129,Candice,"Everything was ready when we arrived and exactly how we expected. Cozy and good spot for Austin city limits, close yo restaurants and bars. "
3445819,49904247,2015-10-07,36924434,Media,Perfect location to explore downtown Austin all by foot! Easy to find and get in and out.
3445819,50122620,2015-10-09,15486050,Greg,"Check in/out was a breeze, listing was as expected and in a very central part of Austin. Thanks Jamie for having me!"
3445819,50430248,2015-10-12,34382686,Vincent,"Jamie was a great host, the apt is very clean and accessible, right in the heart of downtown austin. The washer/dryer was a huge plus while traveling! Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone traveling to Austin. "
3445819,50905619,2015-10-15,297665,Alex,"Absolutely awesome place. Jamie's condo is in the perfect location: next to the convention center and just steps away from the best restaurants and bars. 

Loved the apartment itself. Great size wth pretty much everything you'd need (washer/dryer), TV, Internet and a comfy bed and couch. It was super clean when I arrived! 

Communicating with Jamie was a breeze and she was so nice to allow me to drop off my bags before check in and leave them after check out. I couldn't have been happier with my AirBnB. "
3445819,50918897,2015-10-16,1721963,Lindsay,Cozy apartment that was perfect for our group of 3 girls. The location was great - within walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants. The apartment was nicely furnished and the bed and futon were comfy. Lots of extra pillows and blankets which is always great if you need/want them. Thanks for sharing your place with us. We had a great time!
3445819,51415077,2015-10-19,9717265,Della,"We had a great time at Jamie's!  My daughter wanted to stay somewhere to get the ""Austin vibe"" before attending UT.  She liked the condo so much she wants me to buy her one! (HA!) Condo is exactly as pictured and super close to everything.  Hope to stay here again soon."
3445819,51509146,2015-10-20,9684804,Casey,Great location. Great apartment. 
3445819,52040352,2015-10-26,34069340,Debbie,The condo that I rented was in an excellent location that is central to most of downtown Austin. The accommodations were quite nice and in very good condition. There was nothing additional needed as the condo was very well furnished and everything in working order. The hosts made sure that all needs were met and provided excellent local information to look at to help plan activities. I would most definitely request this unit again!  Thanks for allowing me to use your condo!  
3445819,52308528,2015-10-28,25480309,Stephan,A great flat in a great downtown location. Perfect!
3445819,53033848,2015-11-03,47382819,Tommie-Lynne,The stay was great. A few friends and I were only in town for one night but this was the perfect location. So close to 6th street! Comfortable and well-maintained. Jamie was great about responding to a few of our last minute questions. Would definitely stay again. 
5155749,26283372,2015-02-08,20376471,Ryan,We had a nice stay in Austin. The house was in a great location with all modern amenities. Trey was welcoming upon arrival and made our stay comfortable.
5155749,26555842,2015-02-15,7376269,Alison,"Trey made me feel right at home and made my stay in Austin very easy and convenient by letting me store my luggage before/after two separate stays! It's in a great spot close to downtown, and South Congress -- both easy to get to by bike. :)"
5155749,26802269,2015-02-19,7376269,Alison,"This was my 2nd stay with Trey after a short few nights when some other friends were in town. Again, he was accommodating to let me drop off some luggage which was very helpful and made my last day in Austin smooth and easy!"
5155749,26853671,2015-02-20,9783124,Margaret,Great place to stay! Super close to everything. Trey was welcoming and accommodating even though my trip was so short notice! Would definitely stay again! 
5155749,26947089,2015-02-22,27436688,Shirley,"Cute place at a very convenient location. My husband and I stayed for a weekend, and walked to South Congress every day. From there, we were able to use the bike share system, and get all around town. The house is also a stone's throw distance from the broad walk. 
There's a ping pong table in the front porch; that was really fun. I also enjoyed the backyard, which has a view of downtown. It's a nice place to chill.
Trey is very easy-going. He responds to text and emails almost immediately every time. 
We had a private room that's on the opposite side of the house from the other rooms/roommates, it was pretty private. It is a loft bed though. I don't have any problem with that, but it is something to consider if you are not very mobile. "
5155749,27083083,2015-02-24,27700539,Chris,"Trey responded to a last-minute request to stay two nights at his place in Austin very quickly, and when I arrived at his home he immediately made me feel welcome. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was tip top. The house in general is very nice and clean and very stylish. Is it weird that I want to make my apartment look just like Trey's house? Also, the place is located super-close to the trendy South Congress neighborhood, which is, in turn, close to everything else in Austin - so great location. Thanks Trey!"
5155749,27180823,2015-02-27,26504362,Alex,"A great space in a great location. The soco part of Austin is beautiful, lively, and eclectic. My girlfriend and I spent 2 nights there. There was a good sized bed for two people to share. Nice work space and wardrobe closet.  Trey was very helpful and easygoing. Very reasonable ""rules"". Definitely recommended. "
5155749,27302210,2015-03-01,18114235,Greg,Trey was an exceptional host who took the time to welcome us to Austin! His house is meticulously clean and well decorated. The loft room is perfect for one or two people ... Bed was very comfortable and room was well heated during this icy weekend Austin. I can't say enough nice things about Trey's house. A fantastic bargain situated right between the SoCo neighborhood restaurants and downtown Austin. Five stars and will def stay again!
5155749,27421385,2015-03-03,22733960,Alex,"I am just amaze how hospitable Trey is. Thanks to him, our Austin experience was simply the best. I highly recommend going through Trey for your stay in Austin."
5155749,27803890,2015-03-12,4280818,Brad,Trey was very welcoming.  Place was comfortable and as described.
5155749,28550430,2015-03-25,2127736,Whitney,"The place was as described, clean and comfortable. I never met Trey, but he provided me with all the info I needed and was always available with any questions I had. Great location on a quiet street, biking/walking distance to bars, restaurants, cafes and shopping."
5155749,28640732,2015-03-27,30057791,Troy,The house is beautiful and is exactly as listed. Trey was a fantastic host. I'll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Austin!
5155749,28726765,2015-03-29,18521144,Shveta,"Trey was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. His place is located in a very nice quiet neighborhood. It's HUGE! It is less than half mile from SoCo, and next to a trail. He let us borrow his kick bikes. We used the trail to go to the Barton Spring. He was a very generous host, and gave us good tips which places to go. I would definitely stay with him again. "
5155749,29069953,2015-04-03,10241455,Erin,I ended up staying at another one of Trey's listings because the AC was broken at the loft. He gave us a free upgrade which was really nice. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
5155749,30224599,2015-04-19,29871022,Valerie,"Although we were unable to stay with Trey on our trip to Austin, he was very helpful from day 1. he was able to help me book through another host in the Soco area and made sure to check up on us everday. He even offered to give us rides and made excellent recommendations on flight options. Based on his service alone, I would consider staying with him on our next trip to Austin. Thanks Trey!"
5155749,37025527,2015-07-03,18221745,Kirsten,"The location (very close to SoCo) and neighborhood were awesome! Trey was really busy but made it work for us, which was really nice. I have only stayed at one other airbnb, so I don't have much to compare this to, but it seemed a tiny bit pricy for the accommodations(no nice treats or coffee for the morning included). The bikes were something we were really looking forward enjoying but the tires were very low on air and the handle bars were broken on 2 of them. I am sure trey would have helped us with this but he was not around. Over all we had a good (website hidden) the back yard was nice to chill in, but bring some bug spray."
5155749,37723848,2015-07-09,11364588,Nora,Room wasn't the best but the space was super cool and the other two people living there were very nice. Washer and dryer was useful. 
939927,3752245,2013-03-11,1602660,Laura,"Host and Home were great! The only problem was the distance from the SXSW festival and the traffic, which, of course, Chris had nothing to do with!

Would definitely stay here again and recommend!"
939927,10976147,2014-03-16,6617449,Loriann,"We had an absolutely perfect stay at Chris' Old West Austin place. Our stay was during SXSW, the location of the place was great; we walked everywhere. The place is big enough, has good wifi, and everything else you might need. And Chris was very flexible with our schedule! Definitely recommended.

"
939927,49611639,2015-10-05,16665450,Steve,"Great host and great location, but what really stood out for me was the art on the walls. It feels like you are staying in a home not a rental. Walking distance to everything; 6th street, Whole Foods, Austin City Limits music festival. "
939927,50636551,2015-10-13,25521399,Tonya,We had such a great time in Austin and Chris was such a great host. Everything was perfect. We were there for ACL and just walked each day to the festival; the house is in perfect location for it. Will definitely stay again. 
939927,52205789,2015-10-27,9973187,Ricci,"Chris was an excellent host. The location can't be beat, we walked everywhere or when the weather was bad we took a cheap Uber. "
8034552,49794547,2015-10-06,3296264,Meg,"Audrey and Jason have such a wonderful home! They were so kind a gracious during our stay. The house is so nice and clean and the room is perfect, with it's attached bathroom (not a lot of water pressure in the shower but it does the job just fine of getting you clean!). They have working AC which was set at the perfect temperature, which made sleeping in the comfortable queen sized bed easy. The neighborhood was quiet and had easy access to the interstate and highways. Their rules are simple and understandable, no crazy or weird happenings, which is always nice. It was an honor to stay there and really look forward to booking with them again. I highly recommend their beautiful home. "
6823661,37246710,2015-07-05,32548812,Ellen,"So glad I found this bed and breakfast. The room, service, and view were great. It's located in a perfect spot right off Lake Travis."
4410967,28031502,2015-03-16,9241534,Stephen,"Definitely an Airbnb gem!
Stefanie was a great host. Very accessible and more than willing to do anything she could to help. We will definitely be staying here in future visits. 
The pool house is very modern and spacious. Even better than advertised. "
4410967,30066824,2015-04-17,13100166,Bruce,"What an amazing time we had in Austin!!!  Our best Airbnb experience to date!!  The photos of the pool house did not do it justice - it was better than we expected, luxuriously appointed and furnished. Every detail taken care of, wonderful plush linen, soft towels, a well fitted and equipped kitchen.  And not forgetting - for the children - Netflix and a great pool. If you need to be in the ""Hill Country"", you could not do better than this!  The best part - our hosts - the Peana family made us feel so welcome that we were sad to leave.  Thank you so much to Stef, Kathleen and Stephanie for making us feel at home. "
4410967,34550702,2015-06-09,32871817,Sherry,"The accommodations were exceptional!  Kathleen was very gracious.  A few items she even brought down from the residence for our use.  The living space including the bedroom is much larger than it appears.  The back yard, well it was heavenly.  Swimming, volleyball net, nice gas grill.

I stayed here with a few teenage boys and my mom celebrating my son's graduation.  She allowed us to invite local friends that came to swim and eat with us enjoying all this wonderful place had to offer. 

I've rented alot of vacation homes and condos over the years.  This is at the top of my list dealing with hostess and the place itself.  I will absolutely consider this for a short get away quiet weekend in my hometown or as a place to celebrate.  

Oh, and 15mn from downtown Austin, great nearby restaurants if you choose not to just relax and grill for yourself.  

Thanks again, Kathleen.  This weekend was an exceptional time of incredible memories for my family."
5612495,28054334,2015-03-16,29118009,Darrell,"Samuel was always available for assistance. The only problem I had was with the wifi connection and he solved that almost immediately.

The apartment was a little basic but clean. It's in a good neighborhood with pretty good access to downtown and right on the river. There was a bus stop out front which I did not use, so I don't know how good the service is. There is also parking available. If you want to walk the boardwalk, it's only about 1.5-2 miles to downtown. I was able to walk to Rainey Street in 20 minutes. 

My only real complaint about the apartment is that there is a back bedroom window (facing the parking lot) and a front patio door that faces the common outside access way and other apartments. Because of this, you can't really leave the curtains open making it a little dim and closed in.

Having said that, it's not much of a complaint considering the $120/night price tag. Anything else in Austin near that price is either away from the city center, a couch in someone's living room, or both. "
5612495,28152925,2015-03-18,6851047,Michael,"Samuel is a super host. He answers to you quickly by email. He is attentive and friendly. The apartment is located in a really nice place, alongside the river. It includes a large room and a bedroom. It's ok for one person or a couple. 

But, for me, it is really an apartment to come and sleep after having a long trip in the city or the area. Indeed, the living room window, such as the bedroom one, overlooking other apartments which is not very nice for privacy. Therefore, one must draw the curtains what it is not a matter the night, but a little boring by day.

"
5612495,28349625,2015-03-22,29102263,Emily,"My husband and I had a great stay at Samuel's place. It was a great location right by the river. We were able to walk downtown in about 30-40 minutes, which wasn't bad at all. Samuel was very responsive, and answered all my questions quickly and accurately. He even left a personalized note with helpful information, which was a nice touch. Overall, our stay was great, thank you!"
7902095,51911542,2015-10-25,43173131,Karen,"Nathan was a great host, and his home was really clean and comfortable for a weekend away with 4 of my girlfriends. Great location, too - easy access to UT and downtown. "
991992,4351256,2013-04-29,4351222,Samantha,"I wanted somewhere cute and comfortable to stay with my mom that was not a cheap impersonal hotel, thus i turned to airbnb.Austin is really at a lack of cute hotel options which makes this site a blessing. I stumbled upon Kay's charming Clarksville rental which is an adorable artist loft style apartment right above her residence. It was in walking distance from downtown and in a beautiful neighborhood. When I unlocked the door to our rental, my mom was overjoyed. I think she said the word cute maybe twenty times, either way- mom was pleased. I certainly was too! 
Kay Lynn was an incredibly courteous host. She had stocked the place with some fruit and a warm note, not to mention her personal decorating style which is perfect in my book. She was also attentive about communication and making sure we were comfortable. I will stay here again!"
991992,5485720,2013-07-02,6057112,Jon,"It was a great apartment in a very convenient location with a very gracious host. I stayed in the loft for two months and Kay Lynn could not of been more helpful or welcoming. 
It is a cozy spot and would not recommend it for more than two people. 
The apartment is on a tree lined street, in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to walk or bike to restaurants, Whole Foods, yoga and Lady Bird Lake. 
I had a great experience and will recommend Kay Lynn's loft to all my friends."
991992,10878286,2014-03-11,1371087,Dana,"Kay Lynn's place was cozy, clean and close to some great restaurants including Zocalo Cafe and Galaxy Cafe. We arrived late at night and she'd left us a few croissants, coffee and a bottle of wine. Really sweet touches. 

The place is conveniently located about a 20 min walk from downtown Austin and situated in a beautiful and quiet area near West Austin neighborhood park. 

We rented it during SXSW and it was a great respite away from the noisy downtown venues and parties. We were happy to see the Congress Ave Bridge's bat cow sculpture in the neighbor's front yard tree: (website hidden)

Really great experience! "
991992,18225631,2014-08-24,11743339,Erik,This place and host was great.  I stayed here for 3 months during a summer internship without any issues.   
991992,23808942,2014-12-11,17910941,Kaitlyn,"I stayed in Kay Lynn's loft for three months while working at a local hospital as a travel RN and it was perfect! Such a kind and welcoming person, she had food in the fridge when I arrived and everything went smoothly with check-in, the place was super clean, and in a great, safe neighborhood.  There is a grocery store and restaurants just a few blocks away, it is a quick 20 min walk to the capitol and downtown Austin, or a $5 cab ride for no hassle dealing with parking.  The place was roomy, quiet, and a great place to stay for a weekend, week, or few months like me! Adequate street parking, friendly host, no issues whatsoever during my stay, and I would come back and stay again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend!"
991992,25951864,2015-01-31,21183452,Roberta,"I spent a wonderful month in this lovely loft. It was perfect for me in every way. Lots of natural light, warm, beautifully furnished, easy to run and with a well-equipped kitchen, I loved coming back here at night - and I slept like a log. It also has a sunny balcony, so you can sit out with a coffee or glass of wine. It's in a great neighbourhood with a supermarket nearby if you want to cook - and restaurants if not. Kay Lynn is a generous and kind host. It was a pity to have to leave!"
991992,26863136,2015-02-21,24084667,Rick,"I felt at home here. The space is cool and has everything you could want, plus there are 2 grocery stores, a pharmacy, great coffee house, and several good restaurants a couple blocks away. Kay Lynn is gracious and kind without being overbearing. I highly recommend her place."
991992,28511609,2015-03-25,2890002,Jan,"Kay Lynn's place is really quite wonderful! It is the perfect size for one or two people, has a full kitchen, a lovely little balcony and is situated in a beautiful, leafy, quiet and safe location, within walking distance from downtown and the university. 
Kay Lynn's hospitality was absolutely wonderful as well, and staying at her place was delightful. Upon arrival, she had stacked the refrigerator with a few local treats, and she was always available and helpful if I needed anything or had any questions. I strongly recommend her place for a comfortable and cozy stay in Austin. Look no further before someone else snaps it up."
991992,38978539,2015-07-20,4679157,Heather,"My stay in the Clarksville loft has been so wonderful. It is well equipped with anything you will need for a short or long stay. It is located within walking and biking distance to so many great shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Not to mention it has a ton of character, is well-lit, and cozy. Kay Lynn is also available and helpful if you need anything. I definitely recommend staying here if a good location and convenience are what you're looking for."
8381644,52098780,2015-10-26,44462154,Hal,"Because of the heavy rain in Texas I couldn't make the trip but in all my correspondence with Amanda, she was courteous and ready to assist."

The location is wonder and around the places you would want to be when visiting Austin!

We had a great time and she was always quick to respond with any questions we had!"
8128787,49664507,2015-10-05,42603563,Megan,"Stayed during ACL festival weekend 1. Great location - quiet, yet close to good restaurants/shops and Zilker park. Murphy was a great host! Provided delicious food recs and a clean, comfortable and safe place to stay!"

2451651,28131695,2015-03-18,9838004,Ryan,"Pepper could not have been a better host. She was very nice, accommodating, and made sure that I had absolutely everything I needed (and then some). The house is in a nice residential neighborhood about 10 minutes away from downtown. I wasn't around much because I was in town for SXSW, but I'd recommend staying with Pepper regardless of the reason for your visit to Austin."
2451651,28608338,2015-03-27,5443997,Jasper,Pepper is a really nice and friendly host who will make you feel at home. She has two lovely dogs and a nice and spacious house in a great neighborhood. The location is great: not too far from campus and downtown and there's a good public transport connection. The room is charming and the bathroom is right next to it. 
2451651,49389412,2015-10-03,23909301,Michael,"Omg the best ever. Super accomodations but better yet the interaction with the owner, Pepper. Super wonderful person in every way. 
Even made us breakfast. Will be back. Like they say in Colombia super ""chevere!!! - excellent"
2451651,50558120,2015-10-12,34608258,Stephanie,Pepper was more than great! She was warm and welcoming and made sure we had a light breakfast each morning. The neighborhood was lovely. Pepper also has THE BEST backyard! 
951405,10899030,2014-03-12,8415767,Matt,This house is great- very spacious and pleasant. The firepit and backyard are really great additions too. With the new Austin Bikeshare station right at the foot of the house (basically) the house feels even closer to downtown but without all of the noise/people of the city. A GREAT spot for whoever is looking for a nice mix of peace and city 
951405,22642080,2014-11-11,9808486,Jordan,"The home was listed exactly as it
looked. We were felt welcomed and had a great time. Would reccomend!"
951405,24892223,2015-01-03,20574037,Petra,"Great location! House was spacious. Really had a cool Austin vibe. 

We didn't get the best weather but the backyard was fantastic. It had lots of space and a great fire pit.

And then I saw the location and the two bathrooms and the washer/dryer,  and then I knew this was the perfect place for our family to stay!  We were in Austin for my daughter’s wedding down in Luling.  I wanted a place for my son & his wife and the new baby  and for my other son and for my daughter. And maybe a bridesmaid…. Everything was as lovely as it looked in the pictures and worked out perfectly.  Comfy beds and clean, equipped kitchen!! We enjoyed having two sitting areas, one with the TV--- and then there was that perfect little crows nest way upstairs  for anyone who wanted to get away And view the city and have a private talk. My whole family had a delightful stay and I would certainly like to book this place again when  we all return to Austin. "
951405,36675875,2015-06-30,32591432,Joy,We had a great stay at the Bouldin House. It has plenty of room for our large group.

They were responsive and quick to reply to emails when we had a question/concern during our stay.

7264070,43157165,2015-08-17,40420719,Raul,Our trip to Austin was fabulous. Jonathan and Emily were very accommodating. The rental property is absolutely stunning and is located in an up and coming east side area. The home maintains its privacy by being closed with a beautiful fence. The home is more beautiful than in the pictures and everything was brand-new. I highly recommend this rental property for any professional heading to Austin. Thank you Jonathan and Emily making our stay possible. 
7264070,44008344,2015-08-23,13224473,Dan,"Jonathan's listing description was 100% accurate.  Communication with both Jonathan and his assistant Emily was on point.  His place looks great in the pictures and even better in person.  I was absolutely floored by how clean the house is, how excellent its location is, and the neighborhood guide that was left for us on the desk.

My brother and I were in Austin for just a few nights as part of a long road trip.  We immediately felt at home when we stepped foot inside.  The neighborhood guide on the desk had suggested that Franklin's Barbecue was not worth the wait and suggested checking out John Mueller Meat Company.  Incredible advice.  No wait.  Best barbecue I've ever eaten.  The guide was full of information that was equally valuable.  I could go on and on about the other amazing things there are to do just a short walk from this rental.  I'll be staying here for all of my future East Austin stays for sure.  Book here and you will not regret it."
7264070,45157744,2015-08-31,40305894,Kelsey,"Jonathan's place was not only in a great up and coming neighborhood, but the perfect home to host a girls weekend. Us Cali gals have high expectations when we travel and all of those were met with his home. We even had a request for an iron and Jonathan's assistant, Emily made sure we had one in the closet. She also surprised us with some welcome treats :) (thank you!) and was readily available when needed! All in all, this home will not disappoint! We will be back!! "
7264070,47078451,2015-09-15,13223334,Heather,"The house was lovely! Very well updated with beautiful colors and finishes. Everything was clean and well maintained. Plenty of room for four adults! The kitchen was stocked with all of the equipment we needed to cook a meal or two during our stay. We felt very comfortable in this home. The neighborhood is quiet (no rowdy neighbors) however the street sees a lot of traffic, well into the night, which makes it unfortunate for the person sleeping in the front room. Be sure to download a white noise app! The location of the house within the city was AWESOME! We were able to easily and quickly make our way around the city in our car. Our host made us feel very welcome with a small gift left on the counter—a real treat!! I'd definitely stay here again!"
7264070,48091018,2015-09-23,1159238,Joanne,"We were here for a long stretch, 7 days, and the place was so comfortable, we felt at home the entire time. It is clean, the furniture solid and comfy, and the location fantastic, with easy access to downtown Austin in addition to being at the heart of Eastside. We especially enjoyed having a full kitchen and Netflix access (did I say it was a long stay?). Emily and Jonathan were super responsive. The listing was accurate and everything in the place was tasteful and extremely well maintained. The house does sit on the corner of an occasionally busy street (Chicon; only at peak times) with a bus stop, but it is fenced in so still very private. During our stay, there was some temporary construction going on next door, but it honestly never bothered us. We really loved this place."
7264070,49851178,2015-10-06,17505103,Jenny,Jonathan's house was the perfect spot for me and my coworker to stay in Austin while in town for work. The 2 bedroom / 2 bath gave us space and privacy. Jonathan was a great host leaving us snacks and detailed instructions on how to use all the house's features. The house was as described in the post. 
7264070,50928863,2015-10-16,42086075,Jesse,"The Pro's: 
Emily (Jonathan's assistant) was very friendly and great to deal with. They even gave us a small treat when we showed up. The home was very clean and up-to-date and great for the price!  Walking distance to many places and only a mile from where 6th street starts to party!
The Con's: 
The street out in front of the house can be busy. The college entrance is across the street and the bus stop is next to the driveway. It wasn't too bothersome for us, but it is something to be aware of. 
If you have kids: 
We traveled with our 10month old baby and this house was great because she had lots of room to play. The problem? This side of town is NOT baby friendly. We would recommend staying on the other side of the river if you have children. 

All-in-all we were very happy with Jonathan's place! "
7264070,51280125,2015-10-19,40802112,Karen,"Love the house.  Convenient  to town & local Brewers.Enjoyed cooking in your beautiful kitchen.  Very comfortable beds, really appreciated the washer & dryer.  One suggested we had, as we were three females, with new house house behind would be curtains or shades on the kitchen window and front door for privacy.  We will be using the AirB&B for future ""girl"" trips.  Thank you"
7264070,52317212,2015-10-28,13224473,Dan,"This is actually the best place in Austin.  Both the accommodations and the location of this place are completely, 100% on-point.  If you're considering traveling to East Austin, this is the place you're looking to stay. Incredibly close to all nightlife.  A quick walk can get you to a ton of bars, restaurants, food trucks, cafés, bike shops, concert venues, corner stores, etc.  I've stayed at Jonathan's twice now and couldn't be more pleased.  Jonathan and his assistant Emily are absolutely fantastic to work/communicate with.  I know that whenever I travel to this neighborhood, I'll be looking to book here first. "
7264070,53049172,2015-11-04,8188272,Mark,"Our trip to Austin could have been a disaster. Due to the recent flooding, our flights were cancelled, rental cars sold out, and we arrived in DFW instead of Austin. The last thing you want to worry is a place to stay and Jonathan and Emily ensured that was one thing off our minds.

Definitely recommend both of them as your hosts while in Austin"
83643,548029,2011-09-19,1131945,Sophia,"Michele was such a lovely hostess! She not only offered to pick me up at the Airport, but she was sweet enough to make a special trip to the grocery store so I could get everything I needed for the weekend! Her outdoor shower can't be matched and the colorful whimsy that is her house made me feel right at home.
I can't wait to stay with her again!

Thank you, MIchele!"
83643,646219,2011-10-19,1153484,Elisa,Michele was a great hostess. She made my dog and I feel very welcome in her home and went above and beyond to help me start to learn my way around the city.  Great experience!
83643,756715,2011-11-30,18676,Melissa,"Michele was a great host! I am returning to Austin after 6 months of traveling and needed a place to stay for a few days of my transition. As soon as I arrived, Michele offered to take me grocery shopping, which I happily took her up on a few hours later. We not only had several good chats, but we're actually going to a concert this Thursday - and I'm not even staying there now :) I couldn't have asked for a more helpful and generous host. From morning coffee to info about the buses, Michele is full of information and consideration. I would love to stay here again and plan to keep in touch. "
83643,888477,2012-01-29,1373554,James,"Michelle was a wonderful host. Helpful about intro to Austin and gracious about my dog who wasn't feeling so well. I would recommend her place highly.
Jim"
83643,1001084,2012-03-14,424007,Linda,"Michele was the PERFECT host. She was kind, helpful and I am not shy to admit that her Texas-sized hospitality is what finally made my husband and I realize that we belong in Texas. We had come to SXSW to evaluate whether we'd like to move to Ausitn, and after staying with MIchele in her beautiful house, we decided at the end of the trip to move to Austin. The house was clean and centrally-located. Her cat, Treat, was wonderful little host as well. The most awesome thing about Michele's place was the price. We booked it in the MIDDLE of SXSW and she could have easily jacked up the price like everyone else in Austin, but she did not. It was about 1/5th of the price of a comparable place. If you are coming to Austin, you MUST stay with Michele!"
83643,1541686,2012-06-23,2385158,Rush,"Wow, Michele is an ideal host! She is laid back in just the right way and made us feel at home. Our flight arrived at a time when she was free (she asked), so she picked us up. She has great recommendations about what to do, where to eat, etc. We had a lovely meal with her at one of her favorite local restaurants. Even though our stay is now over, we're gonna try to hang out with her soon.
As for the place, it _is_ fun to stay there. It's situated in a quiet little subdivision but there are some interesting places to eat right around. The 7 bus line takes you to lots of places and stops just a block away from Michele's place."
83643,1865301,2012-08-01,3056444,Paul,"We had such a BRILLIANT time with Michele! Her house is close to town and her neighbourhood is great too. Lovely room with a big ceiling fan and the outdoor shower was so refreshing! Michele went above and beyond as a host, taking us out to live music, chicken shit bingo (really) and some of the best eats in town, according to those who live there. She even lent us a tent for the camping leg of our travels. Thank you!"
83643,2060276,2012-08-21,3156758,Tam,"We had SUCH an awesome time in Austin - all thanks to Michele! She was very welcoming and laid back, she was very patient with all our questions and did a fantastic job of filling in the gaps for us with things for us to do. The outdoor shower was the best! If you are thinking of staying somewhere else... stay with Michele instead!"
83643,2155701,2012-08-31,3382982,Ada,"The room was comfortable and cozy, the towels plush, the outdoor shower invigorating, and, last but not least, Michele was an excellent host: responsive, gracious, and flexible with lots of recommendations for things to do and places to see. I highly recommend this spot!"

83643,2591672,2012-10-12,2653405,Joel,Michele was a lovely host and we enjoyed sharing her home for two days. the outdoor shower is ah-mazing and the house is nice a close to the public bus system and the greyhound.
83643,2616661,2012-10-15,3583000,Allyce,"Michele was a gracious and generous host, I am so thankful that she had an opening for her guest room!  She lives extremely close to downtown in  a safe neighborhood, has a comfortable bed, an awesome outdoor shower and a wonderful cat - you can't ask for much better than that.

I'm so grateful to have met such a sweet lady!"

WE WILL BE BACK!! "
83643,2874257,2012-11-13,3099359,Tom,"We came to Austin for the Formula 1. With accommodation pretty scarce, Michele offered to let us park our RV on the street, yet still make use of her home and famous outdoor shower. Upon arriving we we given a lift to buy groceries which we really appreciated.
Michele was a wonderful host and everyone in the street was really friendly (maybe that's just a Texan thing). 
We would definitely stay here again!"

Michele is a great host, she received me with all the info I needed to know for me to enjoy the race, bus routes, fares, places to go at Austin... and of course Michele's kindness.
The price is fair, the place is great and Austin is just amazing, lots of fun!"
83643,2961603,2012-11-25,4184185,Mary,"This home is the quintessential Austin bungalow. Tasteful, simple décor. Comfy hardwood floors. Beautiful cat. Abundant hot water and hand spray make the beautifully appointed outdoor shower a must-return experience. We greatly appreciated the morning coffee service. 

Michele is a welcoming and energetic woman who made us feel comfortable and content with our world. She is the perfect concièrge for the Austin scene. Her home will be our first choice for all future Austin trips. "

And I discovered a great neighborhood for my morning walks. I was going to try different parts of Austin when I visit (which I do often), but I don't think I could ever give up Ave G now that I've been there. "

83643,3494388,2013-02-07,644536,Linda,"Michele's place is located in a very peacefully neighborhood, with a cool out door shower (you gotta try it!) and many adorable models to transport us into a time tunnel, back to our childhood play time with a mature point of view. Michele's the coolest host, super responsive to our requests and went out of her way to help us stay in comfort and fun. "
83643,3548313,2013-02-15,4326102,Justine,"Michelle is an amazing host with a beautiful home. The room is so comfortable and I loved the miniature objects scattered around the house. She lives in a great neighborhood, close to the North Loop and walking distance to several bus lines. Michelle truly loves her city and wants to share it with people. She really went above and beyond what I ever expected from a host. My trip wouldn't have been the same without her. The next time I'm in Austin, I'll definitely be staying on Avenue G again. Thank you so much for everything! "
83643,3622569,2013-02-26,4823070,Audrey,"What  a great spot!   The room was just like in the picture, the outdoor shower made it feel like a day spa, the whole house is decorated like an accessible museum of treasures and surprise.  Shelly and her cat  ""Treat"" were welcoming, accommodating and supportive, offering me a ride to the grocery store after a long trip to arrive, suggesting area restaurants, runs, neighborhood excursions, setting up the coffee maker for me, etc.  It was quite convenient to the convention center for me with my little rental car.   I highly recommend this spot!"

But I got first dibs for the next SXSW!"

Michelle was so welcoming that I felt comfortable with her from the start. Having never been to Austin, I really appreciated how knowledgable and enthusiastic Michelle is about Austin, and her suggestions of places to go and directions for how to get there were invaluable in navigating the city! She has a lovely and cozy home; I especially enjoyed my comfortable bed and the outdoor shower. Thank you for hosting me, Michele! I will definitely be in touch next time I'm in Austin! "
83643,4020572,2013-04-03,1286791,Pat,"We stayed at Michele's while visiting my son who lives close by.
Our interaction was positive from beginning to end.  
House was clean and cozy.  Bed was great. 
Michele made us feel as comfortable as if we were longtime friends.
She's a wealth of information about the Austin area and loves to share what she knows, if you're interested. Your choice- to have as much or as little interaction as you'd like.
We plan to visit again."
83643,4103320,2013-04-09,4865943,Virginia,"All these glowing reviews here about Michele and her home are 100% true, we couldn't have asked for a better place or host. My husband and I were noobs to Austin, so we didn't really know where to go, how to get around, or what to do, so how lucky we were to have stayed with Michele. Our experience in Austin was wonderful because we did.  She is super friendly and provided us with recommendations and clear directions to cool local places,  maps, and bus info. She's super quick to respond if you have any questions, and even helped me find cheaper Greyhound tickets when I was searching for options on how to get to Austin from NOLA. Her home is in a safe neighborhood and a short walk to cool vintage clothing store, bars, and a convenience store, and a short one bus ride to downtown. The outdoor shower is fantastic, the bed is REALLY comfy, the bathroom really clean with fresh linens and towels when we arrived. Best of all she tipped us off to some great local music going on that weekend( Redd Volkaert!) and Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon for chicken shit bingo! It's a blast and happens every Sunday, don't miss it if you get the opportunity. We want to stay with Michele again the next time we are in town, and highly recommend her place to anyone but especially if you are new to Austin! "
83643,4277498,2013-04-23,5945717,Craig,"Michele is very nice and her house is very comfortable.  The floors creak a bit if you are heavy like me so I worried about waking up Michele but she never mentioned it if I did.  The bed was extremely comfortable and I slept well.  The house is at a nice location and I would stay again if I were in Austin and Michele was offering.  Michele tried to keep me on track to go to good places and plan my days as best she could.  I will try to get the A-Tour next time.

I am allergic to cats but Michele washed the bedspread and sheets before I came and we just kept ""treat"" out of the bedroom which was not difficult.  Even with this personal issue at hand I enjoyed my time at the house.and think Michele an excellent host!
"
83643,4589580,2013-05-13,6165021,Paul,"Michele's place was so cute, and convenient to everything I needed to do and see In Austin. Michele herself was an awesome host. She was helpful and informative. I loved the outdoor shower (I also used the inside shower).

I would highly recommend a stay at Michele's place. "
83643,4757074,2013-05-24,2103713,Lifen And Dan,"We stayed in Michele's house for 6 nights. We agreed with most of her reviewers. Michele is a very warm person and helpful host. She picked us up from the airport, drive us to the grocery store, gave us her ""Tour A"" ride, and took us for a very nice long walk....The most unique memory is her outdoor shower. There is nothing like to take shower outside under the moon light. We had good time to stay at her house.
"
83643,5857140,2013-07-19,7498028,Deana,"I made reservation for my daughter and a friend.  Dealing with Michelle by email was smooth.  My daughter said her stay was ""Fabulous!"""
83643,6186951,2013-08-02,88682,Crystal,"Michele has a lovely home and she is a delightful host. I really enjoyed the outdoor shower too! There are many quirky little nic nacs around the house that are fun to take notice of. 

I would definitely recommend her home! "
83643,6316367,2013-08-07,7897341,Alon,Michele was a great host! i stayed for a few nights before moving to my own place at Austin next to campus. She is a very interesting person and even helped me moving my things to my place. Highly recommended!
83643,6450623,2013-08-12,2589693,Lane & Kate,"Michele's home is absolutely adorable, and the outdoor shower is as wonderful as she claims it is! She is a great conversationalist and it was great fun to chat with her. I would have loved if I was staying for vacation in Austin (unfortunately, I was moving into a house during my stay) and warmly recommend staying at Michele's place to anyone coming to Austin for fun!"
83643,6495376,2013-08-14,7737849,Bahareh,"Michele was wonderful! She gave my friend and I great suggestions on events around Austin during our visit a couple weeks ago, and showed us great hospitality! Would definitely recommend Michele and her place to any future Austin visitors. "
83643,6663402,2013-08-20,7557835,Frank,Michele was amazing. So accommodating. So helpful with finding things we were interested in doing around town. We took a very lazy vacation and slept in and came in late and she still was so happy to see us everyday! Her place is adorable. The cat was such a princess. We had a really bad hiccup during one of our touristy things and Michele was right there when we got back to help us out and get everything fixed. It was truly a pleasure to stay with her. We also were extremely addicted to the outside shower. It is a must when you stay... Once you get over the first time it's like nothing after that I know Frank took two showers a day on some days it was just that amazing. So refreshing and so liberating. We plan on coming back or possibly even moving there and will stay friends with Michele through it all. Just an amazing first airbnb experience. It couldn't have been any better. 
83643,7030210,2013-09-03,3132617,Chris,"If you made it this far, you're a few clicks away from booking a great Austin experience.  Michele is a kind and helpful hostess, just like all the other reviews say.  Her house is about a block away from an easy bus into the thick of it, comfortably distant from the bustle, conveniently located for highways, and easy to share.  The great thing about the outdoor shower is that it keeps the restroom available - use it!  We've been gone for a week and she is still helping me with textbook deliveries.  I hear there may be a hike Sunday morning!"
83643,7315755,2013-09-15,5581991,Andy,This was my first trip to Austin and it won't be my last. Michele is a very chill person to be around and has great suggestions of what to do in town. 
83643,7835259,2013-10-05,8883258,Nicolas,The house and Michelle are great! Everything is fun there! The outdoor shower rocks!! She helped us a lot and make our stay very comfortable. I hope we keep in touch with her and we thank her for a great time!
83643,8019329,2013-10-13,3704899,Manisha,"This was my first trip to Austin and Michele was the perfect host to ensure I came back again!  She picked me up from the airport and even took me to the grocery store on the way to her place.  She is such a fun personality - we went hiking together, shared a few meals and several stories, and I learned quite a lot about the city from her.  I came for a conference at the Convention Center.  Michele's place (very comfortable, and located in a beautiful, quaint and quirky neighborhood!) is walking distance to the bus stop and a light rail stop, and you definitely need either a car or public transit to get downtown.  The transit is very cheap, clean and comfortable, but unfortunately it is rather infrequent so be sure to plan your travel well!  Highly recommend her home to anyone considering a trip to Austin - Michele will take great care of you!"
83643,8119110,2013-10-16,8355903,Joshua,"What a great host! The lady friend and I stayed with Michele for 3 days while we were exploring Texas. If you're hoping to learn about the area, get recommendations on where to eat and see live music, or just need really comfy bed for a few nights then look no further. The outdoor shower is awesome! We will be staying with her again if we return to the Austin area."
83643,8413024,2013-10-29,3915977,MaryLou,Michele made me feel like we had been friends for years.  Her easy going style made it a perfect place to stay while visiting with my daughter and boyfriend.  She went out of her way to share  places in Austin.  A PERFECT host.  Thank you.
83643,8717271,2013-11-13,2000875,Susan,"my son was getting married in austin and, aside from the two days i spent at the venue, i wanted a place before and after from which i could sally forth to explore and return to rest- michele's was perfect!  lots of info and great stories about austin and life in general.  i loved the neighborhood and near by coffee house she took me to.  a perfect introduction to a place i'd never been, and one where i may be spending a lot of time in the future.  for sure when i do go back i'll be staying at michele's!  thanks michele!"
83643,9075762,2013-12-04,1164019,Justin,"Michele is a super kind , very attentive host , the house is in a lovely wooded , very central neighborhood and the room is really comfortable and sweet -- i loved my stay and highly recommend Michelle's place  "
83643,9568589,2014-01-02,8198430,Bryant,Michele was a delightful and accommodating host.  She has a lovely home that is authentically Austin in a great location.  I highly recommend staying with her on your next trip to the coolest place in Texas. 
83643,9712388,2014-01-06,10352354,Alexander,My girlfriend and I came for the weekend. Michele was great. She was accommodating and the location was great. I would definitely do it again.
83643,10248695,2014-02-09,11233425,Shannon,"Michele made me feel I had a home after a long car journey to a new state and then while searching for a more permanent place to call home. Kind and thoughtful, with a ton of knowledge about Austin and passion for people. Plus a great location. Highly recommended! 
"
83643,10406757,2014-02-17,9499106,Gillian,"Michele's place was perfect. Super clean, cozy, and in a great location. Definitely one of my favorite airbnb stays. "
83643,10903169,2014-03-12,170071,Sam,"The room was great, and the company even better. Michele took us out to tacos, helped us with groceries, and was about a helpful a host as you can imagine. Plus, there's a bus route directly from the airport to her house! Stay here next time you're in Austin."
83643,11045101,2014-03-18,4761625,Christopher,"This is the second time I have stayed with Michele. A great location, with a bus direct to the airport and regular links to the city centre by both bus and train. She is a helpful host and can give you some great tips on things to do during your visit. "
83643,11600551,2014-04-08,6485920,Tyler,"Michele is incredibly warm, welcoming and a fantastic host. She made my stay in her nice Austin home very comfortable and really went out of her way to make my stay great. 

I'll be staying here again next time I come though Austin and would absolutely recommend her space."
83643,11723128,2014-04-13,13668932,Lia,"Very warm and welcoming. Adorably-decorated interiors. Soft bed. Picked us up from airport at 11:30 pm for no extra charge; very hospitable. Located in a great central location; very easy to bus to downtown and beyond, but also close to north Austin which was useful for me as I was staying here while looking for a place of my own in the northern part."
83643,11844892,2014-04-16,13890763,Dolly,"Michele was a truly awesome host!  She went out of her way to show me around her wonderful city and took me to some great music spots.  Another day she told me how to navigate the bus system, which was very helpful.  I thoroughly enjoyed her company and getting to know her.  Her little house is wonderfully artsy and I loved it --especially the outdoor shower (which is not the only option, but it was my favorite option!).  I had a blast here in Austin and have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michele, and her home!"
83643,12182147,2014-04-25,13269090,Stephanie,"Michele was a fantastic host, providing us with great recommendations for local restaurants and sights, thorough directions and SO much helpful information.  Her home is cozy and relaxing-- not to mention the outdoor shower which was beyond great.  Michele is very laid back and a pleasure to talk with.  The neighborhood she lives in is walking distance to awesome restaurants, food trucks, bars and vintage thrift stores.  I would highly recommend staying with Michele, and would definitely stay with her again!"
83643,12336368,2014-04-29,8306350,Esther,"It was the first airbnb experience for me and was more than great! Michele was a great host as well as a friend. She was always available for questions, gave us a tour of Austin, and was very knowledgeable about the town. My mother and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Michele. I would recommend to everyone to stay with Michele!
"
83643,14072941,2014-06-11,2394361,Nicole,"What a character Michele is! We had a great time staying with her in Austin. We felt very comfortable in her home, which is located in a charming neighborhood with cute houses and trees, and is within walking distance to the North Loop, a great place to hang out. It's also easy to get downtown by bus. Michele was super helpful with advice of things to see..she definitely goes above and beyond for her guests! Thanks, Michele! "
83643,14456113,2014-06-19,10878558,Jan,"We had a great time staying with Michele in Austin. Her house is lovely, she is nice and very easy going, and we especially liked her awesome outdoor shower! She provided us great tips for exploring Austin (barton springs was super refreshing after a long hot day) and took us on tour A to show us parts of the city we would not have discovered otherwise. We would come again anytime!"
83643,14666720,2014-06-23,16947437,Chloe,"Michele is my first host as i am completely new to airbnb. I'm moving to Austin in a couple of months so i thought what's better than living with the local for the experience, and i am so glad i went through with it! Michele is a terrific host. she was very kind and always ask me if i need anything. Her house is very cozy and the spare room is spacious. It was more than i expected! I especially love her ""carporch."" I spent more time here than in my room. Though you might need to remind yourself to bring some bug spray. I was just in town to check out places to live when i move down here, and meet up with some old friends. So i mostly just relaxing and find things to do around the house. I ended up falling in love with one of the novels Michele has in the room. Knowing i am looking for a job before moving to Austin, Michele kindly introduce me to her friends who are working in the same fields to help me out. I couldn't thank her enough! I came in not knowing what to expect yet i left Austin with an amazing experience and a connection to new friends! Yes, that include Treat the fluffy kitty cat as well!
I can't wait to tell my friends and family about my trip and recommend them to Michele. I would definitely see Michele again next time i'm in town! And i feel it coming soon :)"
83643,15507752,2014-07-10,17245764,Kristen,"I am so glad we stayed with Shelly instead of at the cheap motel, where we would not have experienced giant ice cubes, tiny shoes, or Tour A (don't ever go on Tour B), not to mention the sweet serenity of showering outdoors or the company of a cat. Shelly made us feel like family, making sure we were always safe and pointed in the right direction. (Oh, and nobody gives better directions!) 

A highlight of my stay was working in the shaded car porch listening to and watching the birds: Mourning doves, Mockingbirds, Grackles, Woodpeckers, etc! On the last day I took a walk around the tree-lined block and saw, much to my surprise, a flock of green parrots! "
83643,15657166,2014-07-13,2694302,Victoria,"What a charming home w/ a welcoming, knowledgable host. The house is very clean w/excellent morning coffee and a delightful (to me) laid-back kitty cat. This home is well-located, it's easy to drive around Austin from here. Will come back happily. Thanks, Michele! PS: Outside shower is quite fun!"
83643,15889950,2014-07-17,15033628,Rebecca,"Well what can we say! Shelly was an absolute gem! She made us feel more than welcome in her home and her hospitality was nothing short of amazing. 
Bus stop right near her house also.neighbourhood is wonderful everyone is like family and I would highly recommend staying with Shelly to anyone. 
House is super clean and Shelly was so helpful with advice on Austin and also drove us a few times into town which was awesome! 
By the end of our stay in Austin we left as friends rather than guests and are very grateful we had the chance to both meet and stay with Shelly. 
Thanks Shell

83643,16222792,2014-07-23,371051,Kimberly Anne,"Michele MADE my stay in Austin amazing, she really did!!! I cannot possibly say enough fantastic things about Michele. I *heart* her so much! 

I did get to go on Tour A, which was fantabulous and although I'd love to post exactly how cool it is in detail I don't want to ruin all of the surprises for you. The outdoor shower is awesome and I ended up taking 2 showers a day sometimes just because I loved rinsing off in the ""jungle"" :) - plants, flowers, a wonderful shale tiled floor of sorts. The bed is super comfy and the bedroom is large and airy plus I spent a lot of my time in the living room on her very comfortable couch and in the carport in the mornings. Though she will attest to my absolute swoonfest over the Epoch Coffee Shop which is a 15 minute walk from Michele's and sports a wonderful outdoor seating area and some really great coffee! (and it's open all night but I went there in the mornings :)

I could go on and on and on but I won't - just do it! Look no further and stay HERE! I know I will the next time I return to Austin :)"
83643,19567439,2014-09-14,9761621,Yekang,"Michele was a very welcoming host and helped us explore good restaurants and things to do in Austin. My husband and I really enjoyed staying at this cute house. Michele went her trip so we used her house as it is ours. Very cozy and especially liked the outdoor shower and her cat treat! The neighborhood was safe and located in a such a convenient location -- close to major roads and highways, bus stops, good restaurants, and the Korean grocery store (if you are Asian, this would be really convenient!) "
83643,20133794,2014-09-24,3686498,Randy,"Cathy (who stood in for Michele while she was away in Italy) went above and beyond my expectations and she even went out of her way on several occasions to accommodate me. The neighborhood is very safe and from the few people I met, they were very friendly. The description of the home was very accurate and exceeded my expectations. Very clean, very comfy. My stay here was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend this place to anyone! Oh, and the cat is the cutest thing ever."
83643,21204967,2014-10-13,20090908,Sam,Michele made me feel very welcome and comfortable and treat is one of the best cats I've ever met. Nice comfortable house in a nice area.

83643,24017054,2014-12-16,23666020,Georgia,"I could not have asked for a better first Airbnb experience! Michele is funny, sharp-witted, easy-going, kind, welcoming, and a wise and generous soul. I like her a lot. She really knows the area, and took us on a tour and showed us parts of Austin we definitely wouldn't have found on our own. Her house is in a charming neighborhood, and our room was super comfortable. We spent a lot of time on our own and our ""personal space"" was respected. We had a great time gathering the pecans that fell from the tree in the backyard, and we loved the magical outdoor shower!"
83643,24879850,2015-01-03,20574560,Nick,"Could not have asked for a more wonderful host! She is very knowledgeable and passionate about Austin as well as being incredibly welcoming in inviting people in to her home and making every accommodation to make our stay enjoyable. Her famous Tour A was fantastic and enjoyable despite the cold wet weather. The house is well located, a short bus ride from downtown Austin, and though we had to catch a cab home after a couple of late nights the bus was otherwise perfect for getting around. We had a fantastic time in Austin and Michele's advice and suggestions were greatly appreciated! If we ever end up in Austin again we know where to stay!"
83643,26027380,2015-02-01,23312465,Michael,"Michele was a host superstar! Full of fantastic recommendations, stories and laughs!

We got to know Shelly quite well during the week we stayed with her and all we can say is... if you want a true austin experience stay HERE! "
83643,26457508,2015-02-13,552399,Steven,"Michelle has a beautiful little two bedroom house, close to bus stops that will take you downtown or elsewhere. She was home about 50% of the time. She always respected our privacy, and treated us like family. The highlight, personally, was her wonderful outdoor shower! Period! Thank you Michelle!  "
83643,26746651,2015-02-18,86633,Holly,"Michele is the BEST! She knows Austin and her recommendations were tip-top! She was responsive throughout the entire process: from booking through answering a question I had once I was home. Her tour of Austin was such a super bonus experience; I feel lucky  to see some of the city I've never been to before from the perspective of a true Austin local.   Her accommodations are clean, comfortable, and welcoming. My favorite part of her place is the outdoor shower. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! The neighborhood is safe and convenient to get around by public transportation, which I did my entire stay. She is so gracious and upbeat and went out of her way to make my stay great. THANKS, MICHELE!"
83643,27104900,2015-02-25,973136,Jinevra,"Michele is over and above what could be hoped for in a hostess. She made me feel welcome immediately and shared lots of interesting info about Austin and her neighborhood. The bedroom was very comfortable. It is a really cute neighborhood but not too far from some fun shops, coffeeshop, music store, bar, etc. and close to bus routes that took me downtown. I had a great time with Michele and her cat and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin for the first (or second, third, etc.) time."
83643,27881384,2015-03-14,422004,Ozge,"Michele is the best host you can find in Austin. No exaggeration here - I stayed at many different places in Austin. :) She was very quick to respond to my messages, ready to offer help before and during my stay. She even picked me up from the airport which I appreciated a lot. The room and the bed were cozy and comfortable. Location is great, has easy access to public transportation. It was fun to share the house with Michele. Look no further, just book her room if your are traveling to Austin. ;) "

83643,28514636,2015-03-25,25762804,Lance,"My friend and I stayed with Michele over SXSW, and it went swimmingly. She keeps an exquisitely decorated and nice home and is a veritable database of knowledge on the topic of Austin. Very accommodating and funny woman, make sure you take Tour A. Would not hesitate to stay with again or recommend to others."

The room is so nice and the bed is amazing. Though, the most fantastic thing is definitely the outdoor shower! Wow, that's awesome!

As you might already have guessed, I can highly recommend you to stay at Michele's if you are in Austin. You will not regret it!"
83643,29481161,2015-04-08,18328549,Rev. Scott,"I had a wonderful experience with Michele! She and her home are friendly and welcoming. Located near several major bus lines and the light rail it was very easy to travel around town to visit all the sights and convention I attended. Michele offered great suggestions on sights and food as well as offering a ride when it was raining one morning. A class act host, I highly recommend to all and look forward to returning for next year's convention."
83643,29912709,2015-04-14,27264540,Colette,"Staying with Michele was like being with a good friend! She was  welcoming and friendly and made me feel at home. The location is good and quiet, the neighborhood is filled with small homes - feels like a family setting. Her home is very comfortable, tidy and very clean. Ask about the outdoor shower…if the weather is pleasant, its delightful. I had a brief but enjoyable stay. Thanks, Michele."
83643,30086275,2015-04-17,28218084,Erin,"Michele is amazing!!! She greeted us right when we got there and made us feel like we were instantly at home. Her home is exactly how she describes, super cozy and that outdoor shower!!! It's engulfed by the smell of jasmine and hints of lavender and seeps in to the bedroom window which makes for a true experience. I definitely had to take advantage of shower in nature and I highly recommend it!! One of the coolest things I've ever done!!!
Michele was an awesome host! She always made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some killer suggestions of things to do and where to eat. The greatest thing is that she urges you to get out and have fun and see has much as you can which really gave us that extra push to keep going on the last leg of our roadtrip.
Overall amazing stay and I highly recommend staying with her!!!"
83643,30779257,2015-04-27,8439006,Amy,"This was our 2nd Airbnb experience, Michele and Treat were great hosts! Great communication and accommodations; the outdoor shower under the stars was definitely a plus. Location couldn't have been better and our room was clean and comfy. Looking forward to staying with Michele again on our next trip to ATX."
83643,32596339,2015-05-19,4027713,Patrick,Michele is an awesome host in the heart of Austin. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. She had great recommendations for restaurants in the area. The bedroom is very comfortable and the outdoor shower totally rocks. Highly recommend staying here. 
83643,33218226,2015-05-26,20174210,Joy,"Michele is a warm and considerate gal, that was instantly friendly. She also welcomed my visiting children. She took me to a lovely market, and included me on a garage sale outing."
83643,33868968,2015-06-01,15024295,Jamie,"Fun. The ""fun"" in ""Fun Central Austin Convenience"" is understated. Michele is a phenomenal host, tour guide, and conversationalist. Her space is unique and welcoming. In fact, there was one evening where we decided to eat and hang out around the table on the patio rather than venturing elsewhere. 

Our extended adventure in Austin was unexpected and a little last minute. We were supposed to be elsewhere over the weekend, but due to the torrential rains and flooding, our plans changed (after having changed several times already). That was when we found Michele's listing. She was prompt to reply and accommodating from the start. 

One amenity that must be highlighted is the outdoor shower. Michele will tell you that you must consider using it at least once--trust her. And know that if you use the outdoor shower once, you'll likely use it the whole trip and begin planning installing an outdoor shower at home. Since the first moonlight shower, building one has been a constant conversation. Many thanks to Michele for her wonderful advice about being sure to build it larger than you initially think you'll need. 

We would most definitely suggest being open to the adventures that come your way when you stay at Michele's place. We learned so much about Austin in such a short time. We also saw sights we'd not yet seen in our many trips there. Whether you've been to Austin before or it is your first time, be sure to ask for recommendations because Michele can help you to plan an amazing trip. Her knowledge of the music scene is awesome and she can direct you to the bookstore that is just for you. The location is quite wonderful--particularly if you're looking for excellent restaurants and coffee shops. 

Michele's place is definitely on our list of places to stay in Austin.

83643,35142223,2015-06-15,22528589,Justin,"We enjoyed our stay - Michelle was friendly and very easy going and her home and company were both very pleasant. The outdoor shower was really nice, so if you do end up staying definitely step out of your comfort zone and take a shower out there. It is maybe the most 'Austin' thing you will ever do."
83643,36567228,2015-06-29,34780913,Rita,Michele was our first Air BnB experience.  Her home is just as described. She is wonderful to chat with and gives great recommendations.  She was helpful throughout our stay.  We highly recommend her. 
83643,37519031,2015-07-07,36943884,Mark,"Michele is one of the most warm and friendly people I have ever met. My wife and I were new to airbnb and I must say this was a pleasant experience. The outdoor shower is amazing and strangely liberating (especially under the stars on a clear night.

She has a tremendous knowledge base when it comes to Austin and I would recommend asking her for any advice on sightseeing or dining.

It's a very clean home and a comfy bed on top of all that. Which comes in handy after a long bike ride and/or run.

We loved our time with Michele and are excited to visit again!"
83643,39617018,2015-07-25,16571105,Elizabeth,"If you're hoping to have a true Austin experience, Michele is a great host! She's incredibly generous. In our first day in town, Michele took us to a fantastic grocery store, gave us great recommendations for things to do, and showed us the public transit system, which is super accessible from her place. Treat the kitty is a sweet snuggle monster and the outdoor shower is to die for! Such a great place to stay."
83643,41016485,2015-08-03,25240108,Mayra,"Michele was amazing from the beginning. Before arriving to Austin, she recommended places for us to visit while in San Antonio. The day of our arrival she picked us up from our bus stop and took us grocery shopping. She was very accommodating and had many recommendations for places to visit while in Austin. And yes, you have to try the outside shower. :)"
83643,43322412,2015-08-18,41211137,Amit,"Michele is a great host. She very warm and welcoming, has lots for knowledge about the city. She gave us lots of suggestions on where to eat where to go the best way to get to a place. Overall, her house was very comfortable clean and I would definitely stay with her the next time I go to Austin."
83643,45147366,2015-08-31,24039053,Eve,"Staying here was a wonderful experience and I could not recommend Michele  highly enough. I started out as a stranger but left as a friend! She was so happy to give advice for my stay and help out  in any way she could, I have not met hospitality like it before. Nothing was too much trouble, the room was beautiful and I was made to feel like part of the home life very quickly. The outdoor shower was incredible too! 

The location for visiting was perfect, the house is walkable from an amazing neighbourhood on North Loop but is also on a main local bus route so getting around is never a problem. 

Next time I return to Austin, I will always stay here, my home from home in Austin :) "
83643,46253907,2015-09-08,43455294,Kit,"We highly recommend staying with Michele! When we arrived in Austin, our hotel reservation was a fiasco, and there wasn't another room to be found this side of San Antonio. It was late, we were frantic and as a shot in the dark, we reached out to Michele. She replied right away, and even though it was totally last minute, and she could have EASILY turned us away, she welcomed us into her home. Her house is great and in a neat location, and like everyone else says - the outdoor shower is not to be missed! :-) (There is a library in the front yard and a shower in the backyard -- does it get any better?) What started out as a lodging disaster turned into the best Austin adventure we could have asked for because of Michele's kindness. We can't thank her enough for everything and now have a new friend in Austin! "
83643,47017046,2015-09-14,636007,Anna,Michele was a superb host during our stay in Austin. Her home is wonderfully pleasant with a very comfortable bed and awesome outdoor shower. She provided us with great recommendations during our stay and made sure we will always enjoying ourselves. We very much enjoyed our weekend. 
83643,48926200,2015-09-29,42950297,Laura,"Fun Central Austin is right when describing this place. Michele was awesome and her place was wonderful. It was as described with a great unique fun style. I absolutely loved the porch with the twinkle lights. My friend and I were only in Austin for 2 days, and we picked quite a time. With UT having a home game and Austin City Limits descending on the city the following week, there were quite a few people in the city to say the least. Michele was awesome with giving us routes that would take us around the city and around the traffic. Giving us great recommendations of places to visit. My personal favorite was Epoch Coffee where we stopped 3 or more times. If you do stay here a must is the outside shower! I did not personally take advantage of this, but my friend that stayed with me did and this is what she had to say.
"" The outside shower is so much fun! It's not everyday you get to take a shower out in the sunshine. It's enclosed and clean so I never felt exposed. The water tempter was perfect and there was a place to put your towel and clothes so they kept dry. ""
  I would totally recommend this place to stay on your visit to Austin. "
83643,49762488,2015-10-06,8403621,Lauren,"One of, if not the best AirBnb experiences we have had. Lovely home, comfy bed and brilliant host. We were made to feel really welcome and would highly recommend anyone to stay here.   shelly went out of her way to help us."
83643,50832009,2015-10-15,35285822,Geoff,"Michele is incredibly hospitable and great fun to stay with. Even her house is interesting to explore. Michele had typed out great advice for transport and sightseeing for our arrival, and while we were there offered to drive us places and assured us that if we were in trouble we could always call her. On our last night she took us on her own guided tour of the hills of Austin (partly to prove Austin had hills) and showed us things we never would have seen were it not for her. We highly recommend Michele!"
83643,52293413,2015-10-27,40765134,Natalie,A sweet location just outside of the main area in a really interesting local neighbourhood. Michele went above and beyond to accommodate us and ensure we had a fantastic experience at her place and getting to know Austin.

2454577,13104298,2014-05-19,12428009,Karina,The hosts were very friendly and accommodating for our check in/check out times. The house is very well decorated and was perfect for my family. We really enjoyed the deck and pool in the backyard. The neighborhood is lovely and conveniently located. I would definitely recommend staying in this home! Thank you Tim and Leonora!
5237709,28083438,2015-03-17,8169145,Clay,"We've stayed at other houses in the same neighborhood before. It's a funky part of Austin within few minutes reach of downtown (by car). Apryl's house was cute, clean, and filled with many interesting books. 
Apryl was very helpful and connected. Late-risers might not like the next-door neighbor's rooster too much (he didn't bother me, but he did disturb the other guest with me - but she's a late-riser and I'm not). Otherwise, a perfectly nice stay and a great part of town."
5237709,35102642,2015-06-15,32510126,Christina,We had a wonderful time. Love the house. All was perfect!
5237709,48755641,2015-09-28,1479812,Devin,"Apryl's place was perfect, a freind and i needed a place to stay for a wedding and this fits the bill. She has an amazing record collection, very comfortable beds and an overall comfortable home like vibe. The neighborhood is quite and not far from downtown. "
5237709,50654541,2015-10-13,18304911,Brandon,"Awesome place to stay when visiting Austin! Apryl's place is like a home away from home. I would stay here again when visiting Austin - it's close enough to the city that going anywhere is just a few minutes away, but it's far enough away that traffic or the hustle and bustle isn't an issue. "
557128,10404089,2014-02-17,12001165,Jeff,"This was so much fun!!  If you like to play Rock Band, it is the ULTIMATE setup.  The owners are the nicest people you'll ever meet.  Don't hesitate to book this place."

557128,30335586,2015-04-20,30561895,Anthony,"This review may be somewhat bias given that Billy is a good friend of mine but I will be honest because that is what Billy is all about. Billy and his wife made sure I had all I needed for my bachelor party by contacting me several days before the event to ensure I had food, drink, and plenty of entertainment ready to go. 

The day of the party, Billy had surprised me with some party decor and some home cooking to feed guests. He always goes above and beyond to be sure your having fun! The room itself is the ideal man-cave with arcade machines, console games, and movies. The sound systems ROCKS! The lighting can be adjusted to meet anyone's party needs. The adjacent patio is a great hangout when you need a quiet break or a smoke.

There is only one bed to sleep on but if you like to party, then sleeping is not a problem. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends."
8459671,48652192,2015-09-27,11147364,Pascal,Fantastic host and a house nestled in the most beautiful and secluded part of Austin you can be that issue close to the centre of the city at the same time. It was quite and peaceful and just a stones throw away from down town. Tara was a wonderful host and easy to live with. I will certainly be coming back here is I'm coming to Austin again
8459671,49836143,2015-10-06,44835303,Anika,"I absolutely loved staying there. It is just as described, a lovely bungalow that makes you feel like you are right in the country side surrounded by trees though it is quite close to the city and anything you need. 
The neighborhood and especially the neighbors are awsome and Tara is great.  She is very relaxed, made me feel at home and was willing to give as much info and advise as she could. "
8459671,51559465,2015-10-21,25776668,Christine,"Tara and her place were great! It was tucked away in an adorable neighborhood in the city. Quick access to the main roads in town. We were on opposite schedules but when I did see her, she was hospitable and very pleasant! Her place was clean and I felt safe staying here while traveling alone."
8459671,51772606,2015-10-24,32890256,Rik,"Our stay at Tara's place was perfect. The description of the room and environment are very accurate. If you are looking for a laid back spot in nature close to the city this is it. 
Thanks Tara.

4865081,34020028,2015-06-03,32146186,Neda,"My family had a brilliant stay. The home was perfectly suited for our family with all the necessary amenities. The furnishings were very comfortable and the home was well kept and tidy. The beds are very comfortable. The nearby lake access provided a convenient and fun diversion for family but is great for everyone. While not in the center of town, commuting is easy. Overall a lovely getaway. The hosts are very helpful and accomodating. We loved our stay. Definitely a place we would revisit11...."
4865081,39100044,2015-07-20,38179104,Lee,"The Austin house was an ideal place for the six adults in our party to stay in during our time in Austin.  It was comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood and conveniently located for both hill country excursions and seeing the city.  It was a great place to kick back, relax, rest and visit after a full day of out seeing the sights.   Our host Daniel was very attentive to any needs or problems we may have had.  I would recommend the Austin house for anyone staying in the Austin area."
4865081,39795223,2015-07-26,29587649,Zac,"The house was the perfect place for my wife and 4 children to spend a week of vacation. It was nice to have an actual home to come back to after our days on the lake, at Schlitterbahn, etc. The house was very nice and Daniel was a great host. There was an issue with the dishwasher when we arrived but Daniel was easy to get in touch with and he took care of it promptly. The front yard was a great place for our kids to play and we went down to Lake Austin a couple of times for the kids to swim. The kids loved it. The bedrooms were spacious, beds were comfy, bathrooms were very large and clean, etc. We spent a lot of time out on the front porch just enjoying the outdoors. I'd highly recommend this home."
4865081,42730537,2015-08-15,39059663,Sarah,"We stayed at Daniel and Lindsay's for our 6 year anniversary and the trip couldn't have been more perfect! First of all, the neighborhood is AMAZING. We were 8 minutes from Lake Austin, and we enjoyed walking back and forth each day. Some of the sweetest folks live in that neighborhood! We also enjoyed watching the deer (like more than 30!!) throughout the evening and morning. The neighborhood was the perfect distance from downtown Austin, making us feel like we were in nature while not being too far from the busyness of the city. Then there's the HOUSE. Their house was fully stocked with everything we could have needed. We enjoyed grilling out back and eating in their cozy little dining space. The master bedroom had an amazing foam mattress and super comfy sheets. The front porch provided a serene place to sit and relax (and watch more deer!) each morning. The only thing that was a little upsetting about our stay was that it was only 3 nights. We could have stayed another week! Daniel and Lindsay were fantastic hosts, promptly answering any questions we had about our stay. We will definitely be back for a visit in the future!"
4865081,47991074,2015-09-22,2704453,Robin,"We had a very comfortable stay at Dan's house - it was clean, spacious, and most importantly -  toddler-friendly!  Besides being safe for him, there were also toys and games that kept him entertained.  Thanks Dan!"
4865081,50720837,2015-10-13,34291501,April,"We came down to Austin on a last minute trip to attend ACL for the first time. I cannot say enough great things about the location, look, and feel of this property. This was my first time using this site and Daniels home certainly did not disappoint. From the eclectic neighborhood, to the serenity, and last but certainly not lease the deer we saw not once but twice made this stay perfect for us. Will certainly be back perhaps to enjoy the lake part of Austin! Thanks a bunch"
4865081,52211697,2015-10-27,18598264,Tom,"Cute house in an interesting neighborhood - nice part of Austin (in the hills west of the city), this neighborhood is very mixed with some really nice places and some not so much.  Daniel's house is on a large lot, quiet street.  The house is quite a ways from the main commercial areas, but there is a very good pizza place and 2 convenience store/gas stations close by (but not walking distance).  Daniel was very proactive about touching base.  While the house has a nice TV and is set up to stream programs from a tablet they have there for the purpose, or from your own device, (via Chromecast), there is no cable TV."
3269285,14376319,2014-06-17,3027962,Jd,"Amazing house! We would stay here again in a heartbeat, the view and the pool and the jacuzzi were all beautiful and a great space to spread out for our group. Jeni was extremely helpful and the ideal host! 

Note, the driveway is quite steep, check your brakes before you head down!"
3269285,15339522,2014-07-07,16582734,Kendra,"Jeni was great!  She was out of town, but responded promptly to any requests via email.  

RENT THIS HOUSE!

The space...  The pool...  The location...

The space...
This house is amazing!  The space is unbelievable!  There were three couples and two children that were there and we all had PLENTY of space, and the kids even had their own rooms (not formal bedrooms, but places to sleep).  The house was fully stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay (paper products, spices, pots, pans, coffee maker, towels, etc.).  The house was very clean. 

The pool...
Is AMAZING!  Could not have asked for anything better!  The backyard is the place to be.  The patio has a grill and fire place and the pool and hot tub can be enjoyed 24 hours a day.  The title of the ad is correct ""Sparkling Pool!""  I don't know if the pool is chlorinated, but if it is, its mild and that was just an added bonus.

The location...
The neighborhood is great!  So quiet.  We loved it.  There are stores about 10-15 minutes away and it took us about 20 minutes to get to downtown.  It was so nice to be close to everything, but not be right in the middle of it.

We enjoyed ourselves!"
3269285,15700160,2014-07-14,16878883,Jeffrey,"The host was very welcoming,"
3269285,16114519,2014-07-22,9369688,Kara,"This is a great house for entertaining!  Jeni was kind enough to let us host a gathering for a friend's wedding and it was fabulous.  There was more than enough room both downstairs and outside for our 40-50 guests to socialize comfortably.  The backyard and pool are simply divine - definitely the best feature of the house! 

Jeni was a sweet and gracious host - she answered all my party planning questions in advance and was available to chat with me about the few minor things that came up during our stay.   Very successful stay overall!  "
3269285,16483358,2014-07-28,9018695,Rick,Great house beautiful patio and pool. Perfect for our family reunion. Nice part of Austin for sure.
3269285,17356419,2014-08-11,7913665,Rob,"Great experience for me and my family. The house looked nice in the listing but was even more grand and spacious in real life. Jeni was very thoughtful and left notes on how all the remotes and controls work. There is a family of deer in the neighborhood that we saw every evening, the kids really loved that. Very nice Austin vacation for us. Thank you, Jeni."
3269285,17843555,2014-08-18,17638232,Shannon,"The pool is AMAZING!!! The whole backyard is very spacious and beautiful! You do not feel like you are in the middle of Westlake. There is good sunlight and just feels like a spa. The inside of the house could definitely use some cosmetic and housekeeping updates, but it is spacious as well. It as clean when we arrived and there were nice helpful notes around. There are plenty of bathrooms and places to sleep. Great house to enjoy the outside/backyard pool area!"
3269285,18309720,2014-08-25,13606205,Malarie,The house was huge!  The backyard was amazing!!!!!!! And it's close to sixth!! Perfect for my little sisters bachelorette party! Highly recommend! 
3269285,20015257,2014-09-22,7594493,Andrew,"Beautiful house, as described.  Outdoor area/pool was amazing.  Fit 7 people comfortably.  Slightly far from main attractions/downtown but in a very nice residential neighborhood."
3269285,20449593,2014-09-29,8917264,Dave,"The house was everything you could hope for and more! It is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood, and the backyard is fantastic. The entire house is kept in pristine condition and is very accommodating for guests.

John was a gracious and generous host. We didn't have a chance to meet him in person, but he left detailed instructions that made our stay easy and enjoyable. We had an amazing time, and everyone can't stop talking about how great our weekend was -- all thanks to John and his amazing house. "
3269285,21698849,2014-10-22,14246278,Mary,"This is a fabulous place to be located. The neighborhood is private and quiet. The house has everything you could possibly need and more. Kitchen is very workable and comfortable. Best is the outdoor patio and pool and wonderful landscape. 
John was very responsive to questions and cordial.
Thank you for such a terrific place to stay.

3269285,22364761,2014-11-04,21504823,Aaron,The house and back yard were beautiful. The back yard and the places to sit and enjoy time with your friends/family are great. Great weekend and the host was very accommodating prior to the trip. 
3269285,22705514,2014-11-12,17730637,Whitney,Great place! The house was beautiful and the porch/yard were fantastic. John was very accommodating with every detail and the house was very homey. Great weekend getaway in Austin!
3269285,22909194,2014-11-17,19194736,Marshall,"The house was incredible. The weather was a bit chilly so the hot tub was a huge plus. We had 7 guests and everyone slept comfortably. The drive to downtown was approximately 20 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. John left notes throughout the house and was very helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place. We had an incredible weekend and John was a great host. "
3269285,23601168,2014-12-06,9019613,Graham,"Great house!  Very private... amazing backyard with hot tub and pool.   The house is huge, easily accommodated (3) of us who were in town for business travel (we each had a private room with private bath).   West Lake location was ideal.  Highly recommend.  "
3269285,27332511,2015-03-02,5225019,Sean,House and neighborhood were great! Listing was accurate and John was very helpful.
3269285,27649345,2015-03-09,9614381,Diana,"The house itself was large with plenty of space for groups.  The views of the hills are lovely.  The decor was a bit outdated, but everything was clean and in good shape.  

It is not super close to the center of Austin (20-25 minutes), but is in a nice neighborhood and far enough away from other houses that it was very private.  The outdoor areas were very nicely done.  The hot tub was great (it was too cool for us to use the pool).  

John's assistant came by the house soon after we arrived to walk us through the house and any questions we had.  She was helpful and made herself available via text for any other questions we had during our stay."
3269285,28252384,2015-03-21,5971150,Wyatt,"John's house was very lovely and perfect for our stay. The house itself was exactly as described: comfortable, spacious, modern, and quiet. It was the perfect retreat from the maelstrom of downtown Austin during SXSW. The hot tub was great and the pool was extremely refreshing on a hot day. 

Aside from the property, John and his assistant Shanti went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. I would recommend this property to anyone staying in Austin who wants to get a bit outside of the city and enjoy nature while still being close enough to get into town for whatever you need to do!! Would love to come back. "
3269285,28791514,2015-03-30,27101020,Benjamin,We had an excellent weekend!  Most of our time was spent poolside.  The house was spacious and had plenty of space for 8 people.  The host was very accommodating with checking in/out.  We would certainly do it again!
3269285,30295795,2015-04-20,16277065,New,We had a great experience and the location worked well for a group of 8.  The pool and hot tub were terrific and John did a very nice job of welcoming us to the house.  The yard was private and everyone had a great time.  Worth a look if you need a place for a group in Austin.
3269285,31903844,2015-05-11,6843268,Julia,We had an amazing time at John's home! The backyard was so dreamy that we had trouble leaving. The house had plenty of space and was comfortable for everyone. John's backyard is the perfect Austin getaway and I recommend it for anyone wanting to escape city life. Check-in and check-out were easy and John and his assistant were very accommodating. We really loved our stay! 
3269285,33219791,2015-05-26,25610787,Jessica,John was so welcoming!  The house was absolutely perfect and the neighborhood was beautiful!  I highly recommend staying here.  The house was huge and the back yard was perfect!  We loved our time there!!
3269285,33805771,2015-06-01,20586788,Cali,"We stayed at this house for a bachelorette getaway. Everything was perfect. The pool area was wonderful! John was quick to respond to emails and Shanti was very helpful in showing us around the house. Thanks for opening up you house to us, we would absolutely book again!"
3269285,35075407,2015-06-15,13609638,Laura,"This house is in a stunning neighborhood, high up in the hills that surround Austin. The neighborhood is extremely safe and the homes are gorgeous, providing for a lovely view en route to the house. 

John met me at the house for 3pm check-in, and gave me a very thorough and welcoming tour of the house.  Unlike other AirBnB locations, this home comes stocked with spices and other kitchen needs, and John encouraged us to use/eat whatever we found. Like other renters before us, we left some snacks and drinks to ""pay it forward"" for future visitors. 

The pool and hot tub are gorgeous, the house is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen and back porch are fantastic, and John is easily accessible for any questions. It was an easy and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this location! Just be aware that you will need to take a 15-20 minute uber to drive into downtown Austin. "
3269285,38301560,2015-07-14,28784564,Prisca,"This place was perfect. The venue was exactly as it was mentioned. The neighborhood was very quiet, which makes for perfect mornings out on the balcony with a cup of coffee. The view was exquisite. 
Our host, John made our stay fantastic from the moment I asked about availability. Very courteous and helpful. Answers any questions you have with detail. He made me feel at ease by ensuring that we would love everything about the place. Our host communicated everything with us, giving us specific details for anything and everything we were interested in doing for the weekend. I appreciate communication, especially when it's something I'm not familiar with, as this was my first time with this site. 
My group and I enjoyed a huge living room that was the perfect size for 8 people. The pool and bar made for easy entertainment. The kitchen was stocked full of every utensil resource necessary to make all of our meals. The two balconies gave us plenty of space to enjoy being outside together. 
Everything here was displayed very accurately, which gave me the ease that I chose the right place for our weekend getaway. I will definitely look to book this place again and working with such a fantastic host. Thanks for a great time, John!!! "
3269285,40097220,2015-07-28,9631205,Syed,"At first sight, this home seemed like the perfect place to spend a family weekend. The backyard looked amazing, it was nice and tucked away from the city, but still had the comforts of being near the city (maybe a 20-minute drive). Be careful pulling into the driveway, as it is probably the steepest driveway I've ever seen and could be dangerous at night time.

It being one of the hottest summers that I can recall in Texas, we tried to spend as much time in the pool and indoors as possible, with the A/C on.  However, the owner specifically placed a lock on the A/C to keep the tenants from dropping it below 78 degrees! Mix that up with the Texas heat, and the rooms upstairs got to over 84 degrees at times! Mind you, this is with the drapes drawn and blinds closed, as the owner told us to do. Unfortunately for us, we had an expecting mother, 2 infants and a toddler who were having a lot of difficulty in the home and sleeping due to this, and the owner wasn't exactly accommodating in his responses.

We still managed to have a good time in the pool, grilling, etc. until the 2nd or 3rd day, where we discovered roaches INSIDE the counter top stove. The large, American cockroaches at that. Later in our trip, the final day actually thankfully, a large tarantula was found in the kitchen, and we had to capture it and release it into the backyard - that was a nice, goodbye treat!

Overall, this trip was successful, and we managed - however, I don't know that I'd stay here again, given that the A/C is locked and you can't sit in the house when you'd like in comfort. The property is very nice, however there's some water damage in the ceiling and some other minor issues cosmetically.

Long story short - roaches, A/C that you can't change for comfort, tarantula, great backyard.

3269285,47786486,2015-09-21,5525254,Feghali,"John and his assistant made our entire family feel welcomed, and pretty special. We were in contact with each other the week before we were to arrive and John was very accommodating when we did ask if we could arrive an hour earlier than the 3:00 check in time. Shanti, his assistant, met with us when we arrived and explained everything in detail. There was also a very handy printout explaining how to turn on certain lights, the pool, Jacuzzi, BBQ, etc.. We appreciated that. The owner actually lives in the house, it is not staged as an Airbnb rental, it is someone’s home that is filled with their personal belongings. We tried very hard to respect that aspect. The house is decorated exquisitely; it was very clean and neat!! The Westlake home is a very nice home. We felt like we were in, a sort of Austin paradise. The pictures online do a great job showing off what the house has to offer. I will repeat myself, it is a lovely home. We were all very comfortable (although the office couch that makes into a bed is not at all comfortable). Two of the boys (25 and 30 year olds) both ended up sleeping on one of the couches upstairs or in the family room. The kitchen is perfect; it has everything we needed for the 3 days we were there. Wow! So impressed with the yard, it is a perfect place to spend your time!! It is super fantastic. Every morning (very early, Austin was extremely hot that weekend) my sister-in-law and I sat outside and had our coffee enjoying the yard, pool and Jacuzzi. Every day every one of us used the pool and appreciated the fact that this home had such a nice place to swim, relax and enjoy ourselves the entire time we were in Austin. The neighborhood was quiet, not too far from downtown and very appealing.   When we actively start looking for a home in Austin this neighborhood would be exactly where I would like to purchase. Yes, we did enjoy everything about the Westlake Home, not one of us had anything to complain about (except the couch) and they really did not complain about it, so it wasn’t a big deal. Thank you John for letting us use your home."
3269285,49582825,2015-10-05,203363,Bryan,We had a wonderful time at john's house. My friends and I were very comfortable for our college weekend. The backyard/pool area was a particular highlight. We would definitely stay there again. John and shanti also had great recs for nearby shopping/restaurants. 
3269285,50438492,2015-10-12,3161465,Aaron,"John's Westlake home was the beautiful focal point of our weekend in Austin.  All listing descriptions are truthful and accurate.  The house is warm, comfortable, and amazing.  A perfect place for a group of friends or family.  John and his assistant were more than helpful, and everything went off without a hitch."
3269285,53118309,2015-11-05,5983366,Meredith,"John was super helpful and welcoming.  We toured the house with him and he provided great explanations of the house as well as the surrounding area.

The neighborhood is quiet, private and a quick car ride from downtown Austin.  

Very easy and smooth experience."
5011681,26200267,2015-02-06,26924399,Jennie,"Lucy is the consummate hostess and eager to make her guests feel comfortable. 

This retreat is in a beautiful neighborhood well located to access the city. It is quiet, peaceful, and serene. 

It was too cold for me to experience the outdoor shower, hammock, or other outdoor amenities, but it was lovely to look out my bedroom window and see a beautiful fountain amidst the trees. 

In the kitchen, Lucy provided filtered water, oranges and apples, coffee and creamer, and a number of other amenities I'm sure I missed because I was so busy while staying there.  

The bed and pillows were great and the heating and air conditioning system worked very well.  It is a clean and well-maintained space and it is obvious that Lucy loves it and wants her guests to enjoy their stay. I wholeheartedly recommend Lucy's retreat. "
5011681,26712161,2015-02-17,27279072,Victoria,Lucy was a wonderful host! We loved her cozy apartment! 
5011681,27185171,2015-02-27,28046328,Andrew,"The host was very amiable and willing to help me in any way.  She made sure that it was convenient to get inside, that the heat was turned on, that it smelled good, and that everything was clean and organized.  The shower was awesome-Great shower head and so hot.  Also the apartment smelled so good and had everything that I needed from blankets to towels and mugs."
5011681,27631415,2015-03-08,21287210,Marilyn,"We loved staying at Lucy's place! She went above and beyond the norm to make us welcome and supply us with everything we needed. There was plenty of space for all of us! We even had company over to eat pizza one evening. One of our favorite features was Lucy's lovely backyard...my granddaughter and I loved swinging in her hammock! We were right where we wanted to get to places in Austin...we'll be back! Thanks, Lucy!"
5011681,27931859,2015-03-15,4944485,Katherine,"Lucy's apartment was really lovely! It's in a quiet neighborhood that's a convenient distance from most parts of Austin, if you have a car. So, it's a good place to return to after a day of working of sightseeing. Everything was exceptionally clean, and Lucy left some fresh fruit in the kitchen for breakfast.

If you're staying during the summertime, perhaps you'll need AC (the apartment has a Nest thermostat), but I just left the windows open, instead, as we had great weather over the weekend, and the backyard was a quite nice view!

I'd certain stay at Lucy's apartment again and recommend it to others."
5011681,28099657,2015-03-17,556418,David,"Lucy's studio was fantastic, across the board. I was working at SXSW events so I didn't make much time to relax or enjoy the beautiful outdoors. The bed was perhaps the single best night of sleep I've ever had. Will most definitely return in the near future."
5011681,28235471,2015-03-20,4315947,Lester,We had an amazing tranquil time at Lucy's place. A cool bohemian paradise in Austin. Super cosy with great shower!! Never wanted to leave!!
5011681,28340456,2015-03-22,28817990,Tamara,"We arrived at Lucy's Urban Creekside Retreat after having driven for almost 200 miles in constant rain and occasional thunderstorms. We were heartened to arrive at a very welcoming studio apartment that isn't done justice by the web photo. The accommodations were lovely. We really appreciated the selection of tea and coffee available. Even with the constant rain, the view from the back overlooking Shoal Creek was enticing. I found myself going outside to stand on the patio whenever the rain let up. I would heartily recommend Lucy's to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet place to stay!"
5011681,28638512,2015-03-27,4878364,Ian,This was the perfect place to stay while I was working in Austin. Not to far from anything and an Uber downtown was under $15 each way. The flat was very comfortable indeed with everything needed and some coming upgrades to the lighting will make it even more wonderful. It is a very tranquil space with a great garden and friendly owls that come to say hello at dusk. I could not have been happier staying here and Lucy was a great host. I would definitely return next time I'm in Austin. 
5011681,28822338,2015-03-30,28783990,Daniel,"We had the pleasure of staying at Lucy's Retreat for a weekend in March and enjoyed it immensely. The space is warm and welcoming, and Lucy has thought of all the small touches to make the house feel like a home. The furniture is all very comfortable, the shower is incredible, and the backyard offers a serene escape in the heart of a suburban neighborhood. The weather was perfect to sit out on the back porch, soaking in the sun, the lush greenery, and the sounds of nature. Lucy provided many thoughtful amenities including fantastic coffee (seriously, we've tracked down the brand for ourselves now) and fresh fruit. The added perk for us was the drum collection. We ended up spending several hours ""at home"" just to enjoy our own entertainment. 

Our weekend in Austin was so relaxing and it wouldn't have been the same if we'd stayed anywhere else. Thank you Lucy for being such a phenomenal host. We will always remember your retreat (website hidden) Lucy informed us that she's making her retreat even more amazing with the addition of a skylight and outdoor lighting. Book it while you can!"
5011681,29776103,2015-04-12,27421610,Amber,"I live in Austin and I chose Lucy's accommodation for my parents. They are in their early 60's, and they loved her place. I had coffee with them every morning in the beautiful backyard. My parents said they slept peacefully and felt very comfortable there. The place is located close to the 2 major highways, making it easy to get around the city, but is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. My parents said they would love to stay at Lucy's again on their next visits. I highly recommend!"
5011681,31234096,2015-05-03,26327766,Julia,"This was a fantastic place to stay. The flat was beautifully furnished and felt very welcoming, stylish and homely - it was also spotlessly clean. Lucy was a great host - the kitchen was stocked with fresh fruit, yoghurt, milk & cream, and freshly ground coffee. Bathroom stocked with plenty of toiletries. Plenty of room for three guests with  the double bedroom and then the daybed in lounge. Beautiful leafy green backyard with a creek down the back. I highly recommend!"
5011681,31968411,2015-05-12,23915791,Matthew,"After coming in town for Austin Psych Fest, we wanted a relaxing place to come back to that was quiet and surrounded by trees, while still retaining some of the culture we came to enjoy from Austin. This place did all of that for us, and once we stayed here we really felt like vacation started to set in.

We enjoyed how spacious and clean this place was. The temperature of the room could be quickly adjusted. We also appreciated a feel of Austin in this place, which seems to be absent from a lot of the other AirBnBs at this price range. The bongos, books, art and decor helped make us feel still connected with the culture even though this felt like a suburb.

The sound of the fountain outside was perfect to wake up with, and it helped to fall asleep with -- plus did I mention it was quiet? We enjoyed the back yard especially, the plants and trees - and yes, there were two owls living nearby which we could hear at night. Taking a run through the neighborhood was relaxing in the morning, to loop around the ""Great Northern Dam.""  

The bed was more comfortable than my own and especially good if you're a fan of a firm bed. It was also secure with a nice electronic combo lock that I typically don't see at airBnBs.

Lucy was very responsive, gave us recommendations for vegetarian options and left a cooler out for us by request so we could take some food and drink with us throughout the days we were in town. 

Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin. Best AirBnB we've been at so far."
5011681,32615156,2015-05-19,22737199,Celia,"My mother and brother stayed here while visiting me in Austin for the first time. They were both in love with their experience here! A beautiful, woodsy neighborhood with a private and lovely backyard backing up onto the creek. Both enjoyed the opportunity to use the outdoor shower and sit out back listening to the creek, birds, and fountain. The apartment was clean, beautifully decorated, filled with cool art books, and stocked with yogurt, tea and delicious coffee! My brother liked the coffee so much that he probably drank 3 pots a day :)  the location was apartment and serene and the beds were comfortable, so both slept like rocks! One of the best parts of this stay was that the host gave us complete privacy and allowed us to come and go as we please in peace! Exactly what we wanted :) we would certainly recommend this spot to anyone who wants a quiet and peaceful retreat in a beautiful part of Austin! They will be returning to this apartment whenever they visit !
(Check out Burnet road around the corner for food and fun! Ginny's little longhorn saloon for country music and dancing, and many great restaurants!)"
5011681,33281148,2015-05-26,17775053,Kaylee,"Lucy's apartment attachment onto her own home was very unique and cute. We loved the way she decorated and all of the amenities she had for us - shampoo, soap, coffee, yogurt, clean towels, etc. The location was perfect (only a 4-minute walk from a friend who also lives in the Allandale area.) 

Because of the crazy storms and flooding happening while we were in Austin, we had some run-ins with a few water bugs (I'm sure coming into everyone's place that backed up to the creek) but as soon as I messaged Lucy about it, she was quick to reply and came over while we were out to spray the perimeter and drop some organic powder around the doors in the inside. We had no more critter issues after that!

Lucy was very quick to respond and eager to help in any way she could. I would definitely recommend her as a hostess and her place as a great home-away-from-home while in ATX!"
5011681,33739338,2015-05-31,5307318,Dan,"My wife and I stayed at Lucy's urban creekside retreat last weekend.  We were in Austin for a family wedding and were looking for a quiet place to be our home base as we met with family and friends.  Lucy's studio apartment served that purpose well.  It was a clean and quiet retreat with quick access to freeways as we explored Austin.  It was the best of both worlds:  close and accessible and remote and quiet.  The bed was comfortable.  We even got to sleep in one morning!  The shower was luxurious.  We didn't see Lucy at all that weekend, but she was very responsive to a few questions that I posed by email.  (She also offered to be available by text, so we felt that Lucy was very responsive to our questions.)  This rental worked perfectly for our needs.  We would stay here again on a return trip to Austin, and we would recommend Lucy's studio to other folks who are looking for a safe, clean and comfortable place to stay on a trip to Austin.  Enjoy!"
5011681,34384327,2015-06-07,34912830,Mike,"A garden of tranquility in a quiet neighborhood, we are so happy we picked this location for our weekend in Austin. Nestled in between Loop 1 and Burnet Road, you're just minutes way from downtown if that's what you like. But there's enough to do on Burnet and the surrounding area that you may never make it downtown anyway.

The guest cottage is eclectic, neat and comfortable, with everything you'd want or need for a relaxing getaway. The wonderful selection of personal care products in the bath and shower was a very nice touch, adding another facet beyond anything you'd find in 'traditional' lodging. The fruit, water, yogurt and coffee were all delicious and appreciated.

The backyard is the icing on the cake, it's simple, natural, relaxing and beautiful. Sitting on the chaise lounges listening to the bubbling of the fountain and the sounds of the birds was a great way to start the day and end the evening. We didn't get a chance to enjoy the outdoor shower, but it's definitely on the list the next time we stay.

We're pleased to have met our hostess Lucy during our stay, she was so gracious and wanted to make sure that everything was just right for our stay. We had a few opportunities to relax and have some nice conversations together, she's a wonderful person that enjoys sharing her retreat and keeping her guests happy. This was our first time using Airbnb, we feel fortunate to have been so lucky as to find and stay at Lucy's place. We travel to Austin a few times a year for getaway weekends, we'll be returning here for sure."
5011681,35324282,2015-06-17,30307009,Emily,"Lucy was a great host - very thoughtful and helpful - and my husband and I had a delightful stay!  The location was excellent for us as we wanted to be near our daughter’s apartment in Austin. The  place was described well in the ad and there were no surprises. I particularly enjoyed the lovely greenery/scenery outside our back door.  I found it quite pleasant to go a couple of days without a TV!  It was both peaceful and restful! I like that Lucy calls it a ""Retreat."" The kitchen area with the fridge and mic was clean and met our needs just fine. We appreciated the tangerines! The air-con kept us nice and cool and  I also enjoyed the décor – especially the  assortment of djembes!! I do recommend this place to others."
5011681,46945034,2015-09-14,42432414,Leo,"Dear Lucy,
I flew into Austin with all kinds of ideas of what I wanted to see and do in this beautiful city. That all changed when I walked into your retreat. From the first breath that I took after opening the front door, I knew this place was a home; a home that I looked forward to coming to every night. 
Thank you for going out of your way to take care of us. From the smells, to the snacks, to the comfortable beds, and the inviting backyard (love that hammock), all of it helped restore a little sanity back in our lives. So I forgot most of my to-do lists and we enjoyed long naps at our temporary home, the retreat. You reminded us that joy and happiness does not live out of a Starbucks cup. 
I hope to come back and spend another wonderful weekend (or week) at this home away from home. 
Thank you again for making my first Airbnb experience one that I will always remember fondly. 
Sincerely,
Leo "
5011681,49588612,2015-10-05,21507929,Chelsie,We recently went to Austin for the weekend and stayed in Lucy's cute studio. It was perfect for the three of us! The backyard was absolutely beautiful. Would definitely stay there again! Highly recommend.
5011681,50632292,2015-10-13,2364961,Iris,"My mom, my daughter, and I had a great time staying at Lucy's place.  She was a very nice host.  She responded quickly to my emails and was very friendly.  I never had direct contact with her but it wasn't necessary.  She set us up with a keypad lock to get in and out which was really easy and convienent.  The apartment was clean, cozy, and nicely decorated.  The bathroom and kitchenette were well stocked with essentials and some nice treats.  A fun detail about her place is that she has a great collection of celebrity photography books.  My mom and I enjoyed looking through them! It is also in a nice neighborhood and has a cool backyard area.  I would recommend staying here.  "
5011681,52003343,2015-10-25,11670856,Steve,"Great place to stay, just as described, clean and comfortable.  Lucy was straightforward and communicated promptly and effectively.  We would be happy to stay here again when we visit Austin."
890680,3781533,2013-03-14,1521085,Bret,"All of our interactions with Kathy were a pleasure - before, during and after our stay. She was extremely welcoming, armed us with great recommendations for exploring Austin and set us up with absolutely everything we might need to make our stay a great one. We were grateful for the opportunity to meet her and stay at her lovely home. Highly recommended!!!  "
2363682,10787532,2014-03-07,1723860,Mary,This quaint and ample space was a very compfertable stay.  Melody was a perfect host.  When the pipes froze one morning she was quick with a blow dryer and had the water going in no time.  Great location in a sweet nieghborhood.  
2363682,13651285,2014-06-02,12290267,Myra,"The Bing's are wonderful hosts!  The cottage is so cute and comfortable.  The location is great.  Enjoyed having coffee Sunday morning on the patio, listening to the birds and admiring her unique landscaping.  We'll definitely stay there again."
2363682,16236438,2014-07-23,4072778,Ben,"Melody's bungalow was a fantastic little retreat for girlfriend and I. Perfect really - quiet, clean and cozy. Walking distance to restaurants, food parks and cafes. Absolutely do not hesitate to stay here. We had our own space and we were well looked after if we needed something too. 

Air con and working wifi a big plus also!"
2363682,16952272,2014-08-04,17499541,Will,Great hosts and great stay.  Perfect south austin location.  Couldn't imagine a better location or price.  Great yard and bbq pit as well.  Really cool place!
2363682,18028622,2014-08-20,11668439,Steve,"Great neighborhood. Good mixture of South Austin weird with a little quiet sophistication for good measure. Nice restaurants. Close to everything. Cottage is lovely, spacious, very comfortable. Melody is lovely and gracious.  I'd definitely do it again."
2363682,18833814,2014-09-01,13522742,Allison,"Cottage and neighborhood certainly met our needs for a cool (read - AC) and convenient landing pad while vacationing in Austin. We had our own space and we were well looked after if we needed something; there was a local events paper waiting for us in the unit when we arrived and check-in/out was flexible. The space is as advertised which means you should not expect a full kitchen - it is like a small studio or efficiency. The property is great and likely the outside space is much more inviting if you are visiting in a month that is not August- there is an outdoor shower which was lovely for cooling down!  We always felt very safe and well looked after. Would stay here again without hesitation.
"
2363682,20264884,2014-09-26,18595927,David,"I have a wonderful experience, Melody and her husband are very nice and helpful. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and close to SOCO and S. Lamar. Walking distances to the best places in Austin.
Thank you guys for everything..."
2363682,20479083,2014-09-29,21762243,Erin,"We visited Austin for a long weekend and Melody's bungalow was perfect for us. Loved that it is quiet and private. Very cute inside with a backyard that was lovely for hanging out, especially in the evenings. Close to South Congress and other great areas with restaurants and bars. Melody made herself available if there was anything we needed. We had a wonderful time!"
2363682,20675001,2014-10-03,4604180,Beth,Melody was fabulous and has a great spot. Close to everything but quiet. I really enjoyed the room and the patio out back was a nice bonus
2363682,20747270,2014-10-05,19840354,Jennifer,"Great place to stay for ACL! We were central to a lot of bus routes while being out of the fuss of it. Melody was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. She was also really flexible with our arrival time. The neighborhood was quiet and it was easy to park on the street outside the house. The neighbors have a dog that barks a lot, but if you're not a light sleeper it shouldn't be a problem. The guest house was clean and equipped with everything we needed to stay there - towels, soap, a hairdryer, etc. I'd definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a place to stay in Austin."
2363682,21951232,2014-10-27,20873084,Joanna,Everything about this unit was perfect. It's a detached unit behind the main house in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of SoCo. I walked everywhere but there is easy access to busses as well as the Austin BCycle bike share stations on South Congress. The unit itself is as described with A/C and a fan which came in handy. I would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Austin!
2363682,25579417,2015-01-19,26068821,Meredith,Melody was wonderful and so was her space! The guest house and entire property were full of whimsy and charm. It was perfect! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
2363682,26536457,2015-02-15,26155194,Kathryn,"The studio was private, quiet and convenient. The hosts were accommodating but unobtrusive. It was an easy ride from the airport to the location. Thank you!"
2363682,28300821,2015-03-22,25413197,Francisco,"Upon arriving, Melody kindly gave a tour of the house. She provided both a heater and an air conditioning unit to prepare us for the constantly changing weather. She even provided everything we needed for coffee in the morning. The living space was clean and the right amount of Austin's grooviness. The neighborhood was perfect, quite and close to SoCo and many great restaurants. I would stay here again 100%. "
2363682,31805432,2015-05-10,14103319,Sarah,"My fiancé and I stayed at the bungalo for a long weekend vacation in Austin. The house was great! So much attention to detail - super cozy, cute space. It was rainy and humid for most of our stay, so we didn't get to take advantage of the two patios as much as we would like, but a romantic glass of champagne under the lights was wonderful one night. Melody was very accommodating to any of our needs that came up - of which there were few! Great location (walkable to food, coffee, shops, and short drive into downtown)! Great vibes!"
2363682,49588976,2015-10-05,33778307,Michelle,"Host was the most welcomng and accomodating.  At the last minute my babysitter fell through (we live in Galveston, TX) and Melody welcomed my two toddlers, even though the space was only available for two guests!  She never questionsed my children's ages or suggested behaviours that might be worrisome, she siand ""that's fine!""
Then when we realized we needed some help to make ACL awesome, a babysitter would be needed, she agreed to a allowing our personal babysitter  to visit the cottage and sit  our kids at her cottage without hesistation.  I teach high school and many of my former students go to UT, so it was the perfect solution to a seemingly kid-free weekend full of kids!

This spot is sooo close to amazing eateries and entertainment and using UBER makes it so easy to get around.  We didn't even use our car, we used UBER.  There were tons of places to eat, investigate and get in and out of easily.  We even joyfully walked to Ziler Park, but there are many venues for renting bikes if that interests you.

The privacy was the most amazing aspect.  You are sharing their property, but they never impose and have set up the place and the grounds to make you never wish you stayed in a hotel ever again.  We even had friends visit who felt comfortable and welcome!

It was awesome!!!

Hopefully we will be back soon, it was heaven!"
2363682,50428050,2015-10-12,8522085,Amanda Ferris,Nice little spot in South Austin. Plenty of privacy and a nice cold window AC. Convenient location with plenty of everything close by.
322834,995404,2012-03-13,1652364,Nic,"The house was very comfortable, even for six people. The neighborhood was close enough that we actually walked in to town a few times.
Bonus points for the chickens in the back, we made some delicious omelets :)
Andi is awesome too, she was very prompt in her communications and really easy to deal with."
322834,3794537,2013-03-16,2504274,Elyse,I rented Leslie and Dylan's place for the week of SXSW. It was great for our group and we would definitely stay there again!
322834,4081480,2013-04-08,355226,Chris,"Leslie and Dylan's place was fantastic for our group.  Large kitchen, great seating area, and wonderful backyard with very large privacy fence.  It had all the charm of home, but with the added benefit of being a quick bike ride from downtown!

I highly recommend staying here for your next trip to Austin or backyard even space - you won't be disappointe!"
322834,4678804,2013-05-20,3958864,Justin,"Leslie and Dylan's home is very comfortable, stylish and well appointed.  We had a great stay.  We have two young children and they were very happy here, visiting the nearby playground and the chicken coop.

The home is very conveniently located to downtown Austin, just a quick drive over to many major attractions.  We stayed during graduation weekend and found it very convenient to UT's campus as well.

Thanks Leslie and Dylan!"
322834,7338241,2013-09-16,1632364,Nick,"Great place with some beer in the fridge and fruit on the island.  Clean and cozy

Couple comments:
1.  Luckily none of us were allergic to cats because I had no idea til I showed up and she walked out.  Was checked as an ""amenity"".
2.  The chickens in the coop might wake you up.  I should have thought about that more...
"
322834,7871559,2013-10-07,6672400,Esther,"House was very clean and great!! We had nine girls sleep comfortably in the 2 rooms. The house is a little far from the downtown area but if you rent a car, you will be fine driving! It is also just a short 15 minute ride to the airport."
322834,8673147,2013-11-11,5363685,Adrian,One of the most charming home's I've been blessed to stay in. The Hosts were very helpful and even allowed me to purchase an extra night at the last minute! Wang Meow is the most awesome cat as well! When staying here you will feel the love! 
322834,8712240,2013-11-12,5363685,Adrian,"Thanks for the extra night at the last minute! And thanks for the bottle of red wine! It was such a thoughtful gift and made me and my friends feel welcomed and relaxed! The art, the decor, the set up of the home was charming! "
322834,8778653,2013-11-18,6893116,Brian,"Leslie & Dylan were gracious enough to let us stay in their beautiful home.  Amazed how clean the house was (even with a cat, which by the way is the coolest cat ever).  We were welcomed with a case of beer in the fridge! Bedrooms had plenty of space.  Bathrooms were clean and there were even travel toiletries left for us.  The fresh eggs in the morning were great.  House instructions were clear and Leslie/Dylan were super responsive answering our questions.  Will definitely consider coming back for future visits!"
322834,10436499,2014-02-18,11679238,Kevin,"We could not have asked for a better introduction to the Airbnb community than Leslie & Dylan! From the moment we were booked, communication was seamless and easy, and though it was only via text I could immediately tell how warm and welcoming Leslie & Dylan were.

Their home is absolutely brilliant, and they were kind enough to leave us a delicious bottle of wine and some Valentine's Day chocolates to make us feel right at home. It was bright, beautiful and clean - we couldn't have been happier with it all. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable and the location was perfect to get to and from downtown, and also to the airport.

We'd love to stay here again next time we're in Austin!

Thanks again! - Kevin, Mara and Alex"
322834,10539535,2014-02-24,11632110,Priscilla,"This was my first time using Airbnb and Leslie and Dylan were great hosts! The house was clean, very spacious, and conveniently located close to downtown.  I will definitely stay there again!"
322834,10919619,2014-03-13,899921,Gabriel,"This place was immaculate, and the owners were kind enough to provide us with some Lone Star beer upon our arrival. Its a 25 minute walk to downtown, and it felt like home immediately. Leslie was so nice to us, she gave us a ride downtown on the last day with all our luggage. Hope to stay there again"
322834,11012501,2014-03-17,6335432,Justin,"The most gracious hosts I have stayed with to date! Very responsive prior to our arrival. House was very clean and prepared for our stay, including some snacks and beverages. Location is within walking distance to almost everywhere we wanted to go. "
322834,11361109,2014-03-31,12738969,Srinisha,"Our group of girls had a great time in this charming home! There were plenty of thoughtful amenities for our large group including extra towels and delicious coffee. We felt at home for the weekend for sure. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating! The chickens were a bonus with fresh eggs in the morning, but watch out, they will wake you up. We had a great experience at this house and I definitely recommend it for a girls weekend in Austin. We took inexpensive cabs to get to downtown/6th street , so plan for that if you want to go out.  "
322834,11743761,2014-04-14,12351233,Lauren,Beautiful house! We had a wonderful time!! 
322834,12331072,2014-04-29,12092785,Chris,Leslie and Dylan were fantastic hosts! Their beautiful home lived up to or exceeded all expectations!  I would absolutely recommend Leslie and Dylan to anyone taking a trip to Austin!
322834,12536227,2014-05-05,12644411,Abby,"I highly recommend this beautiful and spacious home. The hosts were fantastic - Very helpful, pleasant and accommodating. Thanks so much!"
322834,13068519,2014-05-19,10087570,Mike,"Leslie and Dylan were awesome hosts for my first AirBnb experience!  Their home was in a fantastic location for my friends and I exploring Austin.  Not only was the vibe of the space welcoming (the decorating style is eclectic and great), but we were invited to use anything we needed from the fridge/kitchen...or even eat fresh eggs from the chickens in the back yard.  I would highly recommend checking out Leslie and Dylan's place if you are passing through!"
322834,13343293,2014-05-26,10136226,Rian,"The house was wonderful in every sense--ample space, cleanliness, style, comfort, value. Both the front porch and back yard are great for relaxing. The neighborhood is full of treasures and the bike ride to the awesome Ann and Roy Butler Bike and Hike trail is only 10 minutes. This house is a perfect base to explore East Austin and downtown.  As hosts, Leslie and Dylan are very considerate, communicative and quick to respond.  Great experience overall."
322834,18739517,2014-08-31,19293823,Eric,"What a great first experience!  Right from the start Leslie and Dylan were very prompt to answering any questions I may have had.  Which made this experience that much easier.  Their home was very welcoming, stylish, very spacious, clean, conveniently located to downtown and let's not forget the amenities.  We were welcome to anything we needed from the kitchen(fresh coffee, fruit, croissants) and even fresh eggs from the chickens.  Overall we could not have asked for better hosts or a place to stay.  I wish our timing could have been better, I would have loved to meet these two!  I would highly recommend Leslie and Dylan's place to those seeking and Austin adventure."
322834,20811190,2014-10-06,8146029,Jon,"The house was ideal for people attending ACL. It's close to great East Austin spots and an uber has you at the festival in no time. Walking distance to Franklin BBQ, Whisler's, White Horse Tavern, etc. Comfy house. Leslie & Dylan made everything easy in terms of getting settled, and gave us muffins, bananas, and beer. Very nice of them. Only glitches were chickens woke us up. They're only audible from one room. One morning they shut up and we could go back to sleep; another, they did not -- guess the sun was too bright. But if you're an early riser and like eggs, shouldn't be an issue. We were 4 guys and did 3 beds and a couch, because one of the tiny cots was not viable. Couch was much more comfortable. The place was great though and, even with the chickens, I'd rend it again.     "
322834,21192593,2014-10-13,14653195,Christina,"We loved the house. So clean and welcoming. Leslie and Dylan left us local coffee and beer, as well as some delicious croissants. There were enough beds and linens for all 6 visitors. The chickens were interesting. No eggs during our stay, but we appreciated the offer to collect eggs if there were any. Really everything was very lovely. The roosters do what roosters do so if you don't want to get up with the roosters this is something to consider. The house is an very close to bus lines and a nice walk downtown. Only a 15 minute walk to a great grocery store, HEB. We would highly recommend the house!"
322834,22298646,2014-11-03,4348435,Jeff,"Lovely house provided by Leslie & Dylan, handy area to stay, use of bikes, a fully stock kitchen with food, local beer and croissants on arrival. Highly recommended :)"
322834,22585680,2014-11-10,17006151,Rebecca,"This house is a great jump-off to experiencing Austin.

Leslie and Dylan's house is charming, spacious and has great common space for groups.

We had lunch out back and hung out with the very polite, quiet and cute chickens in the coup!

We also relaxed on the front porch and in the main TV room.

The kitchen has plenty of space, and you could certainly cook.  Or, you could enjoy the delicious croissants, eggs and mimosa fixings Leslie and Dylan so kindly left us.

We had plenty of linens and blankets, and the two bathrooms were large enough for a crew of gals to get ready at the same time.

Highly, highly recommend.  $10ish cabs/Ubers to anywhere in downtown/South Congress/Rainey and more.

Thanks again L & D!"
322834,23104631,2014-11-23,7728861,Rene,Love this house! Leslie and Dylan's place was perfect for a girls weekend in Austin. The house is super cute and decorated great! Loved everything about it from the eggs from the chickens outside to the fresh flowers inside. Amazing location on the east side close to everything! 
322834,25319064,2015-01-12,4075853,Erin,"Staying at Leslie and Dylan's place was awesome! My boyfriend and I are on a road trip and a few friends flew down from Michigan to meet up with us.. the place couldn't have been better. It housed eight of us and my two dogs very comfortably. The location is great.. very near to everything we wanted to do in Austin.  Leslie and Dylan were very generous, leaving us coffee and croissants, and very helpful in a ton of ways. They took the time to write out suggestions for places to see and left a map for us and were incredibly easy to get ahold of/communicate with.  I would definitely recommend staying here if you're traveling to Austin."
322834,25747843,2015-01-25,20357695,Duane,"The home was as clean and warm-feeling as it appears. Its located just a short taxi or car ride (maybe 5-7 minutes, barring traffic) from the sights, sounds, and food on 6th street. The home is more spacious than I think the pictures demonstrate. We had 7 people in our group and everyone slept comfortably in this 2/2.

The only drawback was, despite how nice this and other houses within the neighborhood were, some neighbors didn't necessarily maintain their homes as well, which created a somewhat ""sketchy"" vibe upon initial impression. However, all of the neighbors that we did randomly encounter were actually cool."
322834,28199628,2015-03-20,22372531,Amanda,Leslie and Dylan have a lovely airbnb. It was perfect for our group and they were both so communicative and nice throughout our whole stay. I would definitely recommend this space!!!
322834,29729985,2015-04-12,26548921,Michael,My experience was easy and very enjoyable. 
322834,30315486,2015-04-20,10307134,Anna,We absolutely loved staying at Leslie and Dylan's. The house was beautiful and we highly recommend it! 
322834,30701364,2015-04-26,2773153,Sarah,"Leslie and Dylan's home was a perfect setting for our recent trip to Austin. We had 7 of us in total and the home had more than enough room and was very well equipped, clean and welcoming. Leslie and Dylan left so many wonderful touches to help us feel welcome and were so generous with us. They were also flexible and easy to communicate with. It was easy to get around both by foot and/or by Uber / Lyft. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone coming to Austin. "
322834,31808532,2015-05-10,14556653,Catherine,Absolutely amazing!! We had 7 girls for a bachelorette in Austin and this was the perfect house!! Not far from downtown at all and some fun east side restaurants near by. The hosts were amazing and so easy and I would highly recommend for a girls trip!!
322834,32953251,2015-05-24,12908874,Eleanor,"The hosts did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. It's a beautiful, clean house that looks exactly like the photos. It's easy to get in and out of and nice and spacious. My family had a great time!"
322834,47774698,2015-09-21,14563596,Stephen,Great place. Hosts were very helpful and welcoming.
322834,48590419,2015-09-27,14275725,Chris,"Leslie and Dylan are great hosts! We communicated easily with them during our stay at their home in East Austin. The house is clean and they were very accommodating. We liked it because there were enough beds for 4 guys to stay there without having to share a bed.

The location is great! We walked up to the figure 8 coffee shop a few times, rode bikes to town lake and Zilker park, enjoyed the barbeque at Micklethwaite's & drank beer at the King Bee lounge - all within w half-mile of the house. There is also a HEB grocery store close by for provisions & food. I highly recommend that if you are considering booking here...do it!"
322834,49459913,2015-10-04,25956288,Jillian,The house is even nicer than the pictures depict.  We had a great stay and loved the croissants and wine our hosts provided.  There was a small hiccup with the alarm system when leaving but a quick call to Dylan solved the problem.  The neighborhood was exactly what we had hoped for on our first trip to Austin. 
322834,50436447,2015-10-12,29953362,Krystle,Our stay at the house was awesome! The space is great! Very clean and anything you could possibly need they had available. They were easy to contact if we had any questions and they got back to us quickly! Overall I recommend this house to anyone staying in Austin. Location was perfect the area was quiet but it didn't take long to get anywhere with Lyft and Uber available. 
685448,3775086,2013-03-13,3352192,Justin,Jim was an awesome host and a great option outside of Austin but still easily reachable by bus.  The blankets and tent were perfect and the kitchen had everything I needed to make food every day. I will definitely be contacting Jim again when I return to Austin!! :) Thank you!
685448,3838747,2013-03-19,5273020,Stéphen,"Staying at Jim's ranch was like paradise for us. It was just the right amount of simplicity and comfort to sooth one's soul and find peace in the madness of the SXSW music conference. He is a great host who has an incredible amount of interesting, kind-hearted people staying on his property. I intend to return next year for even longer."
685448,6649693,2013-08-19,1991877,Lemuel,"Lovely place.  In nature in the middle of the city.
Unfortunately we can still hear a bit of the traffic, but otherwise nice amenities and there's a trail by a creek to enjoy."
685448,7907918,2013-10-07,6569964,Travis,"Jim is a super great guy and his property is amazing!
His accommodations were above and beyond. 
The property is so peaceful and pretty it was difficult to leave.
I highly recommend and will definitely be going back."
685448,7974727,2013-10-10,8925228,Chang,it's a very old fashion place. the nature here is perfect. and the people are very nice！
685448,10971629,2014-03-15,12614170,Spencer,"Although we only stayed with Jim for a brief period of time, I wish we could've stayed longer. Jim was very welcoming and his property was gorgeous with a lot to explore. "
685448,11207965,2014-03-24,1438095,Rob,The whole community at Jim O's EZ Camp was welcoming upon arrival and during our 2 night stay.  The property is nice and a short distance from all the things to do near downtown.  We enjoyed the quietness at night and the kids enjoyed feeding the goats and watching the chickens.  Recommend to anyone looking for a close camping spot to the city.
685448,11820057,2014-04-15,14034846,Dave,"This is the kind of find you kinda want to keep to yourself, but love so much you have to spread the word and share the love. It is as Jim O' promises, a rustic haven tucked away within easy reach of the city. My hats off to Jim O' with much gratitude for providing such a gem tucked within Austin. Cheers!"
685448,12596548,2014-05-05,11557809,Nicole,"Jim was very responsive and has a very unique opportunity that you may not find in many big cities. The location is just far yet close enough away.
just make sure everyone you are traveling with are fully aware of the accommodations!"
685448,13122975,2014-05-19,4616672,Andrew & Yesenia,"We really enjoyed our time camping at Jim O's farmette! It is conveniently located just minutes away from S Congress yet feels as though you are nowhere near the city due to it's secluded location. We'd highly recommend camping here if you like the idea of a quiet getaway balanced with the ability to easily get to all the best Austin has to offer. There is a outhouse/privy for use that was kept clean as well as a semi-private outdoor shower, both of which perfectly suited the experience. Jim O was a great host and met us upon arrival while giving us a quick tour of the property and was easily available for any questions. Simply put, this is a quintessential Austin weird vibe, absent pretension, with a laid back community feel. We loved it!"
685448,13594199,2014-05-31,16106309,Brian,"If you're in the Austin area looking for a wonderful, quiet, funky, perfect place this is it. We wandered in weary from a long, long trip on the road and found this spot quite serendipitously. Jim O is a perfect host. A nice spot off the beaten path that helps keep Austin the way it wants to be; weird. We'll be coming back next time we pass through. A gem away from the hustle, bustle, and touristy parts of town. Not for anyone looking for a party spot. A nice place to find a piece of mind. "
685448,16192304,2014-07-22,18395222,Ben,"Listing description was accurate. Jim was super welcoming and we enjoyed staying on his grounds.  Everyone was very laid back and nice. Located down south congress just a couple miles from town, all of Austin was easily accessible via car. Nice little outdoor kitchen and sink and shower and outhouse to use. Bugs are bad because it's next to a creek but that's expected camping in the woods, so just prepare for that. "
685448,21255177,2014-10-13,20621909,Cristina,Jim is a totally awesome dude. He was hospitable and very friendly; his property was awesome. I definitely want to come back to stay!! :)
685448,22118640,2014-10-30,4519439,J.Gabriel,"My stay at Jim O's has been a highlight for me on so many levels. Being in an environment surrounded by nature and animals balances you and brings you back to the essential of living and being. Then experimenting living in a little community in that environment of nature has planted a seed in me that will grow and blossom for sure. 

Thank you Jim O' and everyone. I feel grateful I found my way to your home... "
685448,22611187,2014-11-10,15650028,Maxwell,"Jim is easy to communicate with and the house rules are very simple. I came and went on the property at my leisure and I appreciate that since my weekend was so busy. Thank you for hosting me, Jim."
685448,26320927,2015-02-09,2165623,Darren,"This is a beautiful little gem of property located just outside of Austin.  It was really easy to catch a bus from this place to get to downtown which only took about 20 minutes.  I pitched my tent and spoke with a few of the other folks staying on the land.  There is a composting toilet outhouse, an outdoor kitchen, and even an outdoor shower.  I met Jim the following day and he is a real good dude.  Camping is not the typical Airbnb experience, but it worked out great for me."
685448,28000730,2015-03-16,2979705,Kim,"Super convenient location. Minutes from the food trucks, bars, and vintage stores on South Congress. Parking spots available at all times - easy come easy go. We only saw Jim once at check in as the weekend was pretty busy. The other campers were nice and friendly. The compost out house was surprisingly awesome."
685448,28166156,2015-03-19,26820025,Griffin,I thoroughly enjoyed staying at the camp ground. All the amenities were immensely helpful in making the experience more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this site as a fun and great place to spend your time in Austin.
685448,28850897,2015-03-30,29114416,Amy,"Wonderful, peaceful getaway as usual. "
685448,31411800,2015-05-04,15241004,Liz,"Wow! What a hidden gem this place is! So close to the city, yet so secluded and surrounded by nature! We couldn't be happier with our stay. It was simply perfect. "
685448,37613660,2015-07-08,24349838,Isa,"Jim and company were very welcoming and helpful. He let me borrow a tent which was not part of the agreement, so that was a huge plus that I didn't have to spend money to buy a tent. Also, he hooked up an electric line to my tent which made it more comfortable."
685448,39707043,2015-07-25,8075452,Mariel,"This campground was conveniently located for us; we spent most of the day exploring and very little time hanging out there. Parking is easy, and there's a hot shower, so it was perfect for our needs. 

It was quite buggy during our stay, so be sure to bring repellant. Also, at the time of our stay there was a fair amount of disarray from the aftermath of a flood and renovations; however, this didn't interfere with our needs.

Overall, good place to crash. Jim was very friendly and gave us the great tip of going to Wednesday night Blues on the Green, which was a highlight of our visit. Would also highly recommend hiking in the Green Belt/swimming in the river and eating Torchy's Tacos. "
685448,40505787,2015-07-31,14847233,Kate,"Great location, and Jim was so hospitable and welcoming! Great amenities especially considering the recent flooding, we definitely enjoyed the shared spaces and all the thought that goes into this rustic urban camp!"
685448,46846230,2015-09-13,22290763,Jacob,"Jim O' has a very cool spot for anyone who likes some adventure! He's got a very cool setup of various sleeping arrangements which gave the environment a really neat eclectic feel. He was very accommodating, as I didn't have a tent (misunderstanding on my end) and allowed me to sleep in a really cool gazebo with a hammock. This is a really cool place to stay if you enjoy outdoors/camping. The other people who stay there in the community are very nice and friendly as well. Enjoyed my time there!"
685448,49409331,2015-10-03,39498925,Tien,Just 2 nights in Austin but it was great for camping there. It is very convenience to take bus to downtown and it is not far at all. Thank you Jim for your welcome. I will remember your tent there.
685448,50541422,2015-10-12,45324724,Drew,Jim made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived and accomadated our every need until we left. Fantastic experience 
685448,51405263,2015-10-19,46581113,Jason,Really cool place (my typa place) met some fantastic people during my stay
685448,52176986,2015-10-26,36545980,Derek,I've been car camping my way around the country and this was one of my most favorite stops. The EZ ranch has a quality that made me feel like I was a part of the setting of a novel. Jim was welcoming and glad to let me book another four nights on the land. Looking back at my trip I feel this stop will be one of the most memorable.
5530513,28427902,2015-03-23,29032037,Cynthia,The house was inviting. There were many spaces to sit with others or sit alone and have a great view and peaceful setting. There was plenty of equipment provided to help for water entertainment. One of the caretakers was very quick to respond and help with any questions or problems that we had come up. 
5530513,30307336,2015-04-20,28841931,Sean,"Our trip was amazing! The house and the experience was even better than the description. The neighborhood extremely nice. We had 12-15 guys in the house at any given time and were never crowded or uncomfortable. The maintenance man lives nearby and helped to ensure we had a great time. He even brought us numerous golf clubs and hundreds of range balls to hit into and across the water. Once time to check out, every guy who attended our men's getaway continued to drink beer and stare at the water, not wanting to leave. I would definitely recommend this house and will probably return for a family vacation at a later date. "
5530513,35562907,2015-06-20,32625283,Lauren,This was a great place to stay on Lake Austin. The house had everything we needed including outdoor games and water toys and floats. We loved the floating water mat. It was perfect for our kids to jump on and off of it. We plan on coming back soon! Ann was easy to work with and answered all my questions in a timely manner.
5530513,44106263,2015-08-24,32858151,Alan,"The house was absolutely perfect! When I arrived someone was already there putting out the lawn furniture & turning on the AC in the house. The pictures don't really do justice to the view you have from the spacious backyard. 

"
5530513,45161885,2015-08-31,41313718,Genesis,"Great location for a fun relaxed getaway weekend!! House is in good condition, easy access to nearby boat ramp, quiet calm neighborhood, great view, plenty of space for our group of 10. Ann had some lake items that came in handy. Life vests, floaties, kayaks.. Etc! Those were fun!!  Lots of backyard space and the hammocks were perfect. Didn't need much else to make it a fantastic weekend trip! We loved our stay. Thanks Ann!"
5530513,48739213,2015-09-28,14337817,Christina,"We had a wonderful weekend with 10 women at Ann's house.  Ann was very responsive to all of our questions and the house was fantastic.  The pictures don't do it justice - the view is just beautiful and the yard is huge with so many places to sit and hang out and enjoy the outdoors.  We loved the water mat, ate breakfast and had coffee on the dock with our feet over the edge, and went kayaking in the sunny afternoon.  It was really a wonderful experience.  The house itself has all that you need - we cooked in the kitchen and there were plenty of beds for each of us to have our own!
Thank you, Ann!!  We would definitely recommend this property to others."
5530513,50628503,2015-10-13,11136534,Rachel,"This house is amazing.  We stayed here for a Peace Corps reunion, and the house accommodated twenty RPCVs well -- plenty of beds, two fridges, and a BEAUTIFUL backyard by the water.  There are only two bathrooms (though after two years in West Africa, this was not a huge deal for us).  We easily traveled to and from downtown via Uber for $15-$20/ride -- very affordable if split among people.  Overall an absolutely wonderful experience.  Would recommend this place to anyone and would love to come back someday!"
5561157,28064855,2015-03-16,19245098,James,"Fantastic house and host, would 100% stay again."
5561157,28114051,2015-03-17,22124444,Kara,"Very good host, great location and very well kept, definitely recommend this place to anyone swinging through Austin!"

5561157,29777569,2015-04-12,961830,Theodora,Mark was a wonderful owner of his Airbnb I stayed. The house was colorful and spacious. His garden and back yard is an afternoon relaxing in itself. His house is in a beautiful neighborhood. His house is walking distance from shops and bars. I look forward to staying there again!
5561157,30239955,2015-04-19,30559826,Kelly,"Love, love, love the house! It has so much charm and is very spacious. The location is ideal and loved being close to everything, especially the 24 hour cafe which was only a few steps away.  "
5561157,33051479,2015-05-24,33866276,Robert-Jan,"Mark was very friendly and welcoming. The appartement is great. It has two bedrooms, a big kitchen and lounge area with a comfy couch. You can park the car behind a gate on private property, so no searching for a parking space on the street. The neighbourhood is nice and green, the town center is a $6 uber away. The appartement is very close to south congress ave. which has a lot of nice restaurants (all very busy on Sunday, so be prepared to wait if you want to do brunch). 
Mark was very prompt in responding to messages and gave us good suggestions for restaurants and bars. Overall a good experience. "
5561157,35531005,2015-06-19,16853110,Sara,"Wonderful place, easy access to SOCO. Relaxing! "
5561157,36493865,2015-06-28,7901750,James,"Honestly the best place I've ever stayed in while in Austin. Great location, amazing space, and wonderful host. It's close to everything, but it will allow you to feel like it's in the middle of the hill country. Would recommend to anyone, and will definitely e staying in the future. "
5561157,36641020,2015-06-29,7901750,James,"Honestly the best place I've stayed at in Austin. I've been going for years and always ended up staying in places that underwhelmed, this is not those places. It's in the middle of everything and at the same time when you're there you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere. Great space for anyone, especially people w/ kids and/or pets. Great place for anyone looking for a private, well accommodated, truly Austin space!!! I definitely know we'll be staying every time we're in town!!!! "
5561157,37270448,2015-07-05,36896795,Henry,"Great spot to stay in Austin. The ability to park in a driveway was great, the location was great, and the house was better than expected"
5561157,40876906,2015-08-02,34037773,David,"Staying here was like being in a small, luxury boutique hotel. The home is beautiful and the fenced in yard feels like one big garden (my dog who was more than welcomed) loved it. Great neighborhood, wonderful host. Best AirBnB I've stayed in by far!"
5561157,45917658,2015-09-06,12125333,Ian,"Mark's place came in so clutch on Saturday, labor day weekend.  ALL the hotels were booked and it turned out his place was less than a mile from me.  It was definitely more than I wanted to pay, but he was available within an hour and the place was so cool and close to SOCO.  He was such a great host, providing food and drinks, free wifi, basically everything that I needed before heading back home.  Thanks Mark!"
5561157,51162644,2015-10-18,37852809,Jennelle,"Great neighborhood, super close and walkable to local hotspots.  The house is comfortable, clean and super cute.  Our host was helpful and mello.  The onsite parking was a awesome surprise.  We'd stay here again."
5561157,51933752,2015-10-25,35549496,Chantal,"This was my best ever Airbnb experience. Not only is it a beautiful and well presented place but the host adds so many finishing touches to make you feel at home - clean towels, toiletries, snacks and he even left an umbrella for me to use when it started raining. The decoration was beautiful too. One of the best things about this airbnb experience (for a female travelling on her own) is that I had the place to myself but the separate apartment  is occupied by the landlord, so I felt really comfortable and safe. It's worth mentioning that the location is brilliant too (a few steps from Congress), but the the thing that really stood out was the host went above and beyond to make the place feel like home and he is an an all round nice guy."
5561157,52305468,2015-10-27,29112323,Lauryn,"Mark was great! We instabooked and Mark's house was more beautiful, cheaper, and in a more awesome (email hidden)an any hotel we could have booked last minute. Everything was totally easy and staying here made our business trip more special. "
6629676,34392854,2015-06-07,25667463,Fabian,"Place was safe, clean and practical. All what you look for in a short trip."
6629676,35154414,2015-06-15,33867918,Shawn,Very nice place to stay. Very close to downtown and many shops nearby.  Victor and his father go out of there way to ensure an awesome visit. Thanks for the hospitality.
6629676,35512425,2015-06-19,11107576,Jean,"I'm a no-frills person and this place met my needs very well at a great price. It was SO QUIET at night. Victor's Dad was very friendly and nice; the language barrier was no problem. I would stay here again. Parked right in the driveway in a nice residential neighborhood, good for walking. You can get to a fridge in the garage without encroaching on the host's space and vice versa.    "
6629676,36597090,2015-06-29,33867918,Shawn,Another great stay. Clean and convenient.
6629676,41898375,2015-08-09,38940963,Michael,"I had a great experience staying at Victor's place.  Although I did not meet Victor, his father welcomed me in and got me situated.  They live in a nice neighborhood and are very gracious hosts."
6629676,50352145,2015-10-11,45017813,Deidra,"I visited for ACL Weekend and was warmly welcomed. I never actually met Victor, but everything was set up well. Though I was about 20-30 minutes from downtown, I didn't have an issue getting an Uber or walking to the bus stop (about a 10 minute walk). I felt safe at all times, it's a really nice neighborhood. Could be a bit cleaner, but it wasn't unbearable. Perfect for the price. "
742593,3763219,2013-03-12,4740326,Leah,Robert was a wonderful host.He was very attentive to our needs and the home was very comfortable and furnished with everything we needed. The hot tub was an extra plus! I would recommend this home to anyone visiting austin.
742593,10572547,2014-02-25,3275326,Sarah,"Robert and Elizabeth's Craftsman Bungalow was the perfect place to stay for our 4-night stay in Austin.  Robert lent us yoga mats, gave us restaurant recommendations and even left us some truffles!  The upstairs bedroom was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable.  We enjoyed the hot tub and having a kitchen to cook in.  It's also very centrally located with restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance and a 10-mile drive to downtown Austin.  We would definitely stay here again."
742593,10899222,2014-03-12,8141913,Slava,"Beautiful home with a very unique, open design. And a hot tub!! Wonderful neighborhood (couple blocks from my old house when I live in Austin almost 10 years ago). Easy access to bus for downtown access, or rent a car. Robert is a great host, very thoughtful and planned everything ahead. Made our SXSW week an incredible stay. I'd definitely recommend staying here to get the true ATX experience!!"

742593,11799710,2014-04-15,12765078,Jeff,Great house and very accommodating owners! Our group of golfers stayed at the bungalow for an extended weekend and it was perfect! Highly recommended for anyone going to Austin. 
742593,13127022,2014-05-20,2400237,Jeffrey,"Great neighborhood! It was perfect for our family to stay in together for graduation weekend. The lofts are super fun, and 8 people stayed comfortably in this place. Robert was welcoming and made sure to check in during our family's stay. "
742593,21276336,2014-10-14,14833037,Tracy,"We had a great weekend in this great home!! It was PERFECT for our ACL weekend!! There were 8 adults and we really enjoyed our stay!! The beds were cozy, the house inviting, and the neighborhood was perfectly located.  The hot tub was there to greet us after a long day of listening to amazing music.  Robert left coffee, milk, juice and truffles!! What a thoughtful surprise!! We felt so well taken care of! Thank you Robert and Elizabeth for sharing your home with us!"
742593,21598489,2014-10-20,11423894,Matt,"Just got back from a great weekend in Austin. Robert's craftsman bungalow is exactly as pictured. The house is really comfortable, clean, spacious, and convenient. Robert was a great host- made sure we had everything we needed and was available upon arrival to help with getting situated. "
742593,22293513,2014-11-03,7826836,Myrian,"The house is beautiful!!!!
Great taste decorating, spacious and and the same time cozy.
The location is perfect , close to everywhere.
The host incredibly accommodating to our needs and always attentive .
Robert, we hope we could stay in your house in the future
Thanks.
Oscar, Carl, Michael and Myrian"
742593,23490745,2014-12-02,18810097,Marsha,"Robert made us feel welcome by asking if we had any special requests or needs well in advance of our arrival. He responded to emails almost immediately and courteously. 

When we arrived, the house was totally clean, and Robert had left some basic staples, including coffee, sugar, chips, salsa and chocolates, for our enjoyment.  He responded quickly to a question or two that we had during our stay. 

The house was perfect for our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with high quality cookware and a high end gas range and oven, all of which we used to prepare Thanksgiving dinner.  The beds are very comfortable, and the upstairs master bathroom is awesome!  Our grown children used and enjoyed the hot tub several evenings. 

The Hyde Park neighborhood is quiet, conveniently located and architecturally interesting.  The walk to Quacks, the local bakery, and to the organic grocery across from it, is delightful, as one passes bungalow after bungalow, many of which were built more than 50 years ago but have been expanded and updated.  

We delighted in sitting on the swinging bench on the front porch and generally felt totally comfortable and at home in Robert's wonderful property. We hope to return. "
742593,28118091,2015-03-18,667018,Richard,Robert was a great host during our stay in Austin for the SXSW. We had a lot of space and the area around the house was very quite and friendly. He gave me a lot of tips and information´s about where to go. A great starting point for our excursion. It was nice to be there. Highly recommendable. 
742593,28393426,2015-03-23,1730382,Ferran,"We had a lovely stay at Robert´s house. The place is beautiful and there´s room for many people, everything was clean and tidy, and we were close to downtown. If we come to Austin next year we will try to stay here again."
742593,33078361,2015-05-25,20914253,Bob,"Great home in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Austin.  Very convenient to campus, downtown, buses, and restaurants.  The house is beautiful - exactly as described.  James is a people person and very easy going.  You will feel comfortable immediately.  He will definitely be sure you feel welcomed and he checked in with us throughout the week to be sure our stay was going well."
742593,48028331,2015-09-22,11208007,Jimmy,"Robert was there and helpful with anything we needed. The house is great for a group. We played board games, cooked a little, and there was nice common space areas for us to use. He was very accommodating to us in case we needed anything. "
8554169,49942041,2015-10-07,32862804,John,"My girlfriend and I traveled to Austin for ACL pretty much last minute. I had been many times, and it was her first time. This place was perfect. We lucked out that it became available. It is very easy walking distance to Zilker Park. Biked to Barton the Monday after the festival, and were able to easily walk to places for food and bars. G was available and always helpful."
8554169,50550888,2015-10-12,45487277,Roman,"G was a great host. My brother and I stayed at her house for ACL and she was very kind and even showed us the fast way to get to festival grounds. The house is literally walking distance from most attractions in Austin. The room was very nice and clean. We were able to also use their kitchen, which was awesome. If you ever are going to Austin then you need to stay at G's. "
8554169,52274012,2015-10-27,4963345,Krystin,"The house is gorgeous and so close to downtown. G is super communicative, and check in/check out were a breeze. I highly recommend this listing, and would definitely stay again next time I am in Austin."
4036932,27900899,2015-03-14,2972561,Naomi,"My Partner and I stayed at Robin's lovely place for one night, and all our expectations were exceeded! Robin made us feel very comfortable and welcome from the minute we arrived. The room was perfect for our needs- exceptionally clean, comfortable, cosy and private, and almost completely self contained with its own outdoor entrance and bathroom. We found the location to be quite convenient (only about 10min drive from Austin city) and the neighbourhood felt nice and safe. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks to Robin for being so hospitable! : )"
4036932,29895823,2015-04-13,6165441,Rebecca,"This space was perfect. Everything was extremely clean and neat when we arrived. Robin truly makes it feel like a BnB with ample toiletries and towels, and he checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything else. The interior is spacious, lovely, and quiet. I loved the private backyard entrance, the wood panel walls, and the porch with a view of their beautiful garden. This is the best Air BnB I've stayed at in Austin. I highly recommend it!"
4036932,30242754,2015-04-19,13165701,Tasha,"My husband and I stayed at what we called The Robin's Nest :) It's a fantastic private upstairs space, perfect for a couple. The space has a private entrance which was important to us since we were in the city for a concert and most likely coming in very late, which we did. If heading into the city über is easy and affordable. There are a lot of south side happening though. You could probably walk or bike (if you've brought one with you) to any of the great stuff on South Lamar in a short amount of time. 

Robin greeted us upon arrival and was very easy to get in touch with throughout the entire process. We will definitely be going back the The Nest during other stays! "
4036932,33013227,2015-05-24,30506114,Brittnee,We had a wonderful stay at the tree house for a couple of nights last week. Beautiful neighborhood and the room was perfect! We would definately recommend it! Also liked the location being closer to downtown than others.
4036932,37253039,2015-07-05,6337390,Richard,"I was Lucky enough to book this rental for the 4th of July weekend. It was my first experience with AirBnB and couldn't have been easier. The Space is exactly as described and even more impressive in person. The Room had plenty of space for two of us to fit comfortably. Robin, the host, was very welcoming and easy to contact throughout our stay. Overall very pleased with the experience and would recommend this Awesome place to anyone looking for something unique. "
4036932,38934999,2015-07-19,11299504,Mason,"Robin's place is delightful—far away enough from the bustle of Downtown, Lamar, or Congress to make it comfortable and quiet, but close enough for convenience. The upper stairs bedroom is cozy and dead silent: a great place to snooze. It's mad cute and well-maintained to boot. "
4036932,45901044,2015-09-06,43171539,Amitya,"My husband and I was lucky enough to found this place during Labor day weekend. Robin was really helpful in showing the place. The room itself is really neat, clean and very cozy with private entrance. The best thing about it is its conveniently located near a lot of restaurants and stores we wanted to visit (It's literally 5 minutes away from ramen Tatsu-ya!!!). 

We would love to come back and stay here again next time we're in Austin."
4036932,47659366,2015-09-21,38288782,Sofia,"My stay here was absolutely perfect. You have your own entrance and your own space so you never have to worry about when you come and go. It feels more like a private hotel then it does a room in someones house. The space is beautiful and more importantly the hosts were wonderful. They were at the house to greet me as soon as I got to their home, they let me borrow various items I needed for different tourist outings, and they left a typed out list of recommendations. "
4036932,48599030,2015-09-27,43941830,Shannon,"My friend and I chose this Airbnb for our girls weekend. We were greeted with a text message from Robin with instructions on how to access the room. She let us know that the key was waiting for us inside the room and the AC was on. When we arrived we easily found the upstairs private entrance. Robin left her cell phone number and places to eat. The room was cute and we were able to come and go without disturbing anyone. We had a great weekend in Austin and the Lyft rides to downtown were cheap. Even though we never saw Robin, we could tell she put a lot of thought into our stay. Thank you Robin for letting us stay in your charming hideaway. "
4036932,49424631,2015-10-04,5714953,Maria,"The room was cozy and furnished beautifully.  My husband and I felt right at home and had a lovely little getaway there while in town for a music festival.  It was peaceful, quiet, and very comfortable.  I would highly recommend this place for couple looking to relax."
4036932,50429756,2015-10-12,7505271,Simone,Staying at Robin's was an absolute joy and really made our first Austin experience all the more special. The room is beautiful and well kept and the location was incredibly convenient! Would gladly visit Austin and Robin's charming space again!
4036932,51944695,2015-10-25,7113267,Mason,Very easy and hassle free. Walk through the back gate and go upstairs. Very private. Basic set-up but everything you need when you don't like to stay in hotels like me. Only thing I would note is that the bathroom near the toilet has a very low clearance and the shower is a bit tight as it is an angular modular shower. I think this space once was an attic. They honestly did a great job converting it. I would still go back again as I was here for a business trip working with Formula 1 and it made things super easy and also great being a bit south of downtown closer to where I needed to be. 
799135,3451816,2013-02-01,1108616,Matt,"Agnies was a helpful, thoughtful host and made for a great experience.  Her place was just far enough from downtown to be quiet and peaceful while still being just a short distance from everything I was looking to do.  "
7884339,44838903,2015-08-29,14115612,Jessica,"I stayed recently at Hannah's apartment, and it was perfect for me and my friend taking a mini vacation in Austin! It's a one bedroom, and my friend actually slept on the couch with no problems. The location is excellent, and directly within walking distance to some very popular restaurants. And its location near soco and downtown is so easy. Very easy stay, didn't meet her directly but she was available through text for anything we needed and responded quickly. Would definitely stay here again, thanks for a lovely stay!

The apartment is super cute and in a perfect location, near a ton of great restaurants, shops, and  close to downtown, the SOCO district, and the Greenbelt. Hannah really helped me out by letting me check in a few hours early and was always very quick with communicating and checking in to see if everything was going well with my stay. Highly recommended! "
7884339,45755572,2015-09-05,1037184,Matt,Really great place. Super cool to have all the toiletries and towels out. Located in a great area easily accessible to Austin and downtown. 9 -12 dollar uber ride from 6th street and downtown. Hannah was super responsive with all inquiries. Highly recommended place!

A/c worked really well and was a welcome relief from the heat.  The pool was really nice.Hannah was very hospitable and replied promptly to all of my questions."

7884339,46794327,2015-09-13,26131085,Martin,Great little apartment to spend the night. It was very easy to coordinate with Hannah and I had a great stay!
7884339,47587040,2015-09-20,18062559,Kati,"I had a great time at Hannah's place. Although, it was challenging to locate the exact apartment, because it's a pretty big complex, once I found it I really enjoyed my stay! It was exactly what I needed! And Hannah was quick to respond to my inquiries, and she has toiletries and plenty of fresh towels. There was space in the fridge for food storage and the bathroom and house were clean. I definitely recommend this place! "
7884339,47821658,2015-09-21,31522860,Kelly,"Hannah's apartment was great! It was clean, well-located, and the perfect size for two people. "
7884339,48632769,2015-09-27,11672335,Jarrett,"Hannah's place is very quiet & convenient if you're hanging around the Lamar area or want to access downtown Austin. Zoey the cat was great and never in the way but very friendly. Hannah was great at getting back to me about questions as well. I prefer a nice clean space, however, and the place didn't meet my expectations in that regard. The apartment wasn't a mess, but wasn't that comfortable either."
7884339,49633885,2015-10-05,28710140,Tyler,The place was in a great location and was nice to stay in for the ACL music festival. Hannah was very prompt in responses to my inquires. I also enjoyed the art she had in her place. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Austin.
7884339,50462056,2015-10-12,22027922,Derek,Awesome experience at Hannah's place on South Lamar! Close to everything and the place was clean and accurately described. 
7884339,51155782,2015-10-18,44098398,Lynn,Hannah was easy to work with and responded quickly to communications. The apartment was conveniently located but not very clean. There were roaches in the dishwasher.
7884339,51905162,2015-10-25,3656131,Caitlin,"We had a pleasant stay at Hannah's apt. We were only there for one night for a wedding but it suited our purposes well. Comfortable place, central location that was easy to get to, and enough space for my boyfriend and I to get ready for our friend's wedding. There was a little bit of traffic noise at night but we had earplugs and all was well. Hannah was prompt with messages and easy to coordinate with. "
442720,1376103,2012-05-29,2329381,Joram,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house was very warm, cosy and nestled in the heart of the woods yet so close to downtown Austin! The best of both worlds really, we even had deer coming to visit in the morning. Gretchen was a wonderful host who even offered us to check out late since there was no one booked that day. I loved how baby/children friendly the whole house was and my 15 month old felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again and her manager Rana was equally helpful and understanding.
Thank you for a lovely stay, we will definitely be back!"
442720,1413508,2012-06-04,2300494,Ashley,"We rented the House on the Creek purely out of convenience while on a sporting event for our University. But driving through the neighborhood and the trees up the windy driveway, our focus changed from the 6 hours of flights and traveling we'd just gone through, to the beauty of West Hills Austin. The house was beyond our expectations, it wasn't just a rental house, but a home with books and toys, spices in the pantry and a lived in feeling that made our vacation as relaxing as it could have been. The deck provided endless hours of enjoyment as we relaxed with our coach and enjoyed the warmth of Austin. The huge  dining room let us have meals together as a team, though we did enjoy a few meals out seeing as we were a little under 15min from down town. Everyone had a nice bed, a warm shower and a great time staying at the House on the Creek! Rana was easy to work with and very helpful thought out the process, everything was better than we'd planned, and we would definitely do it again! 

Sincerely,
some very happy campers,

442720,1515763,2012-06-19,432488,Stephanie,"The House on the Creek is incredible!  Luxurious, huge, and private.  The balconies off of ever room allowed for great views and tons of extra space.  Our favorite part had to be the ""visitors"" we had in the front yard every dawn and dusk - a family of deer that loved to look in at us and see what we were doing.  The windows throughout the house allowed in tons of natural light.  

The house has four bedrooms, but we were able to make it into a 6 bedroom by using the downstairs TV area as a room with the futon and the office area as another bedroom, using the twin airbed.  

Prime location- whether you are looking for privacy and quiet in a serene area or a location that will give you quick and easy access to downtown, this is your spot!  Only 10-15 minutes to 6th street.  5 minutes to the Lake, where we had a fantastic meal at Abel's.  We also rented a boat for the day on the Lake and it was just a mile from the house. 

The hostess was generous, responsive and always available for us.  I truly hope the opportunity arises to stay at this incredible house again!"
442720,1612834,2012-07-02,1319467,Kurt,"Stayed at the ""House on the Creek"" for 3 nights with 6 guys for a golf weekend.  The house was really nice and accomodated all of us in a very comfortable, very private location.  There was plenty of room to spread out both inside and outside on all the decks.  Very convenient to everything, but feels private and secluded.  We even had a deer on our front porch one morning.  I highly recommend staying at this home if you are in need of some relaxation.  "
442720,2694397,2012-10-23,2497911,Suzanne,"We had 8 family members staying for a wedding and it was an excellent space and good location for the wedding venue and to visit Austin.  We loved it.  We enjoyed the fact that some food and condiment items were already there, left by others, and we used some but added to the supply, gladly.   We did not have children in our group but it would be excellent for families with children.   We enjoyed fixing some of our meals, relaxing on the deck off the kitchen, and were frequently visited by deer. 
We will check Airbnb out before hotels in the future.  Wonderful!"
442720,2758205,2012-10-30,488578,Adrienne,"My family and I gathered here from several different states to cheer on my brother in October's half-Ironman, and it was a lovely place to stay.  

Gretchen and Rana were great to communicate with, flexible, and warm.  The house itself was open, light, and comfortable - with the two levels and living areas, it'd be ideal, too, for a big multigenerational group or a couple of families.  The trail system through the woods outside was fantastic to explore.  With all the limestone and oaks, it reminded us all of Provence in southern France.

We had a wonderful time, and little brother came in the top 11% overall!  Yahoo!  

Definitely recommend this home to stay in; would just be aware, especially in winter, that the driveway is steep!  You're definitely in hill country! "
442720,3138313,2012-12-23,2346178,Peter,"We just had a wonderful family Christmas week at Gretchen's 'house on a creek.'  The building was fantastic (roomy, modern, and well equipped) and the location was idea. While not very far from downtown Austin, it still had a feeling of being in the middle of nature with hiking trails, lots of nature, and even a zip line.

We had a chance to meet Gretchen herself. A really wonderful soul and very welcoming.  And Rana, who manages the property, was full of great ideas of what to do in Austin.  

Really a perfect location and vacation!

"
442720,30213356,2015-04-19,27416514,Mark,"We had a great time in Austin at the House on the Creek place. My daughter, husband and grandson joined me for a few days visiting Austin. The place was exactly as described and was very good for us. Highly recommend this over any hotel/motel in town. The house is situated in a very exclusive area in Austin and it showed."
442720,32504685,2015-05-19,6849399,Agnes,"The house was beautiful, quiet and peaceful just as described with everything we needed. "
442720,35785307,2015-06-22,30738755,Priscilla,We had 5 family members gathered to visit Austin.  The house was great with plenty of room for us to spread out.  Rana promptly responded to the problem with the air conditioner.  We enjoyed our stay.  
442720,37387555,2015-07-06,36215609,Danilo,"This house was great! I went on a trip with 9 additional people and it was better than we expected. The house was in inpecable conditions, very close to everything we were looking on doing, and accomodated everyone with no problem! 

Whenever I contacted Rana, she was prompt to respond and had no problem whatsoever. Whenerver we come back to Austin, this would be definitely a place we will consider again. Thank you!"
442720,46210332,2015-09-08,35700405,Karan,"Great location, amazing views, and good home. Host was very flexible. Second floor is more comfy than first. Great place for a relaxing weekend. Only problems we faced were mosquitoes on the deck/patio and outdated fixtures. Highly recommended if you are visiting Austin. "
442720,48724518,2015-09-28,41549274,Gwen,"Communications with the host were excellent.  All the amenities needed were there, and you have to open cabinets to find them. However, even though my reservations were made months in advance, I don't feel the house was cleaned:  there were bugs - alive and dead, spiderwebs and the yard hadn't been mowed.  They did come and mow the yard the next day. 
 I do feel others need to know:  the house is not for young children or older adults.  It is literally sitting on the mountainside.  There are numerous step-ups and step-downs inside the house, including 2 flights of stairs to the main floor from the garage.  The drive up to the house and down are treacherous.  The house is not bright and shiny as it appears in the pictures; the walls are dingy and the carpet stained.   We did enjoy seeing the deer feeding in the yard in the morning and there were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate our group.  "
442720,49760722,2015-10-06,5039870,Shanna,Gretchen was very organized and sent detailed information about the house and the area. The house was perfect for a large group. It was very spacious and had tons of outdoor living space. One of our favorite things about staying there was sitting out on the deck and eating breakfast while enjoying the amazing view.   The location in the hills is absolutely gorgeous and it is easy to get to downtown.   I would definitely recommend this house to my friends and family. 
442720,50429950,2015-10-12,32867312,Benton,Info provided was perfect and made for an easy experience. 
442720,51785825,2015-10-24,23464375,Onn,"Gretchen was very welcoming. She sent us upfront all of the necessary arrival instructions which were a great help.
The place is exactly as described and is very spacious. We were over for business and unfortunately didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings."
442720,52830361,2015-11-02,340185,Andrea,"The description of the house very much matched our experience. Gretchen was very prompt in responding to questions. It was a very comfortable, large home in the hills of Austin-- perfect for our family reunion with small children. I didn't realize how extensive the toy collection was down stairs! Thankfully there was plenty of toys to help entertain our little ones while we waited for the thunder storm to pass.  The kitchen was incredibly well stocked. We really didn't need to buy spices or cooking oil, and there were plenty of plates/silverware for our family of 8 adults and 4 grandchildren. "
2095705,10169811,2014-02-03,6645130,Juan,"Keturah's house was very clean and in good order. Very nice house for several guests, with plenty of rooms and places to sleep. 
Keturah as host was very welcoming and immediately available to answer my questions. 
I highly recommend. And would stay again. 
To clarify this house is not an RV. It's big and in a very nice neighborhood. "
2095705,10680749,2014-03-03,7026704,Mason,"The house worked out great for our group visiting Austin. It is within walking distance from Kerby Lane Cafe and several other restuarants, and a 5min drive to south congress. Keturah was very helpful in arranging our stay. She had to stop by the house while we were out during the afternoon, but requseted if that was ok beforehand. 

The beds in the house were very comfortable, and there were plenty of clean towels in the bathrooms. I would definitely recommend staying here if you want a comfortable stay when visiting Austin with friends or family!"
2095705,10900426,2014-03-12,10850503,Sanjay,"Keturah was super helpful and an amazing host for our large group during SXSW! She made sure we had plenty of beds, sheets, etc., and that all issues were taken care of promptly. She also gave us some great recs on tacos in the area. Awesome house and awesome base for the SXSW fest."
2095705,10982424,2014-03-16,12118296,Daniel,Highly Recommend!!! We had a great experience and really enjoyed staying in Keturah's home. Thanks Again
2095705,11351024,2014-03-31,8672519,Sanja,"Keturah's house was a perfect fit for my group of girls and I. They had more than plenty of towels and beds for a group of 10. The only thing I would suggest is to not have 2 people take showers at the same time since only one shower can handle hot water at a time. Great location and clean. Don't worry if you're allergic to cats, the one they have stayed outside :) super accommodating as well!!"
2095705,13630844,2014-06-01,6755682,Katie,"Keturah was great.  Everything was seamless!  I didn't stay in the house because I was renting it for my friends who were in town to visit but they said the place was beautiful and arrangements were perfectly suited for the six of them.  After checkout, Keturah texted me to let me know that one of my friends left something at the house.  Arranging to retrieve that was as easy and hassle free as the rest of the booking.  Rock on Keturah!"
2095705,13875868,2014-06-07,3017617,Christiana,Keturah and her family were extremely nice and helpful.  The house was fabulous and perfect for our company retreat.  Thank you!
2095705,14390305,2014-06-18,9537310,Derek,"Had a little getaway with some friends this past weekend and the house was perfect. There was a cat that just needed a water bowl and some fish that needed to be fed, but other than that it was great. 

The shower situation was tough as we ran into problems with multiple people taking showers at the same time and the hot water not working as well, so we just had to wait until one person was done to use the other shower to get hot water. It still worked great if one person was showering though. Also, there was no microwave, but those are just little things that we came across that didn't effect the trip at all. Thanks Keturah for a great place!"
2095705,15685729,2014-07-14,15933857,Kelly,Keturah was amazing! She always responded very quickly and I never felt at a loss for what to do next!
2095705,16944638,2014-08-04,12771598,Yan,"The place was huge and amnemeties were plenty.  The house is across the street from torchys, walking distance to pluckers; and a 5 minute uber ride to doentown. 
Thank you for hosting our group of 10!  "
2095705,18801731,2014-09-01,17847142,Eric,Great location.  Plenty of room for the 13 people attending the bachelor party.  Thanks.  Easy access to downtown.
2095705,19906852,2014-09-20,11967809,Paul,"Keturah was incredibly easy to work with and accommodating. The place was as described, friendly, and clean. Thanks so much!"
2095705,20811376,2014-10-06,15445514,Jodi,Loved your home and neighborhood. Everyone felt right at home and everyone had a bed! Thanks so much for your hospitality. My kids are now begging for a chair swing in the backyard :)
2095705,21582842,2014-10-20,5101188,Jerry,We had a great time. House was clean. Enough space for 8 men. Porch was perfect for relaxing.
2095705,22832215,2014-11-16,11023430,Navin,"Keturah and her husband provided just the place we were looking for. Being a only a few miles from downtown was a huge plus (straight shot on Lamar St). They were very welcoming and willing to offer suggestions for places to go and restaurants that were close by (even had local restaurant menus posted in their kitchen for us). They have a great wooden deck out back too that was great for us to hang out on during our stay. Anytime I had a question, I texted Keturah and she responded right away. I'd definitely recommend their place to anyone and would stay there again.  Thanks for everything, Keturah!"
2095705,24679972,2015-01-01,24945882,Jordan,"We had a great time the house was great and was perfect for all of our friends. Everyone had a place to stay and were comfortable. The only thing was trying to make sure the cats stayed inside when we went out. They usually tried to run out but they were awesome cats regardless. Other then that, really accommodating and a really cool house.  "
2095705,25501870,2015-01-18,24702478,Kevin,"Keturah was so easy to rent from. I literally paid for the accommodations, reviewed some key information that were her house rules, and then was given the access to the house that comfortably fit 10 of us. Everyone had a bed and enough room to spread out and be comfortable. The location is perfect. $5-8 uber ride from everything you need to do while in Austin and across the street from some bomb tacos. I was very pleased with her professionalism and ease to work with."
2095705,26562087,2015-02-15,27280465,Ariel,"It was a great place to stay. We had no complaints. Everything we needed was there and it was very homey. There were chickens in the backyard and a cat which we thought were pretty cool. Asides from that, I'd recommend the place to others! Keturah was good about letting me know if I needed anything and was location was great. "
2095705,26913908,2015-02-22,25475493,Scott,"Very accommodating very a large group with plenty of sleeping spaces between beds, air mattresses, couches, etc.  We had 14 sleep comfortably.  Solid location for the price relative to being a $10-$15 can ride from where you need to be during your stay.  If you want to walk to the heart of the action, not the place for you.  However, if you want to be close enough to cab and have a large group that needs sleeping areas and are looking for a reasonable price, this house is recommended.  A large back deck is great for down time and where we spent a good portion of our time.  Host is great to work with and communicate with."
2095705,27583926,2015-03-08,20067518,Trey,Listing was as described.  Great location and was enough room for all 16 guests.  Awesome backyard sitting area.  Keturah was a great host and everything went well.  Thanks!
2095705,30668264,2015-04-26,11696548,Mike,"Keturah was a terrific host and the property was wonderful, just as advertised. She also clearly articulated the check-in and check-out process so that we knew exactly what we needed to do. Highly recommend this place if you're looking to stay in Austin!"
2095705,33064885,2015-05-25,26079423,Elena,"The house was really great. We comfortably slept 7 people, and definitely could have fit more. The location is fantastic and had lots of good restaurants and activities nearby. The house was clean and Keturah was a great host. I would definitely stay again. "
2095705,34965068,2015-06-14,10380962,Joe,"We had an awesome experience staying at Keturah's wonderful home in the heart of Austin. She was apt and prompt throughout the entire communication process and never once we were worried about what to expect. Their home was spacious and accommodate 8 men for bachelor party festivities. We all even had our our own bed to sleep in!  There were several bars and restaurants literally right across the street from her neighborhood and many others within walking distance. Overall, it was an absolute wonderful experience! I would recommend Keturah and her home to anyone looking to stay in the Austin area. If we come back again, we definitely know where we'll be staying!!"
2095705,41877627,2015-08-09,27617818,Daniel,"Great place! Lots of room, very homey vibe, and a good location near downtown Austin."
2095705,45955899,2015-09-07,30097977,Rebecca,"Our experience here was great! Very easy, no complications! The house was exactly as described. We had a group of 14 and everyone had a place to sleep. The extra beds and air mattresses were all set up when we arrived. It was only an $8 uber ride to 6th street. Everyone enjoyed the house and would definitely come back! "
2095705,47664514,2015-09-21,477889,Becky,Enjoyed staying in this colorful house that worked for our group of 12. The host had the needed extra beds setup and they were all comfortable. The large living/dining/kitchen space was great for lounging and we loved the sign out front for photo ops. Appreciated the flexible check in and check out. 
2095705,50624035,2015-10-13,3812308,Dina,Keturah was great! She really sweet and able to accommodate with our schedule. The house can fit a lot of people comfortably. I would highly recommend Keturah and this house!
4288403,21265168,2014-10-13,530192,David,"It was a pleasure to be Aaron and Leigh's first guests. My girlfriend and I needed a place to base our weekend in Austin, and this was a great place to be!

The spacious upstairs loft is nested in Aaron and Leigh's backyard in a quiet, safe, and lush green neighborhood with lots of old trees giving it a strong character. 

Aaron and Leigh were very friendly and supplied all the environmentally friendly essentials and had a large screen computer monitor with WiFi for when we watched a movie on Netflix one evening. 

Overall, Aaron and Leigh are a great addition to the Airbnb community! Thank you again!
"
4288403,22046380,2014-10-28,6731905,Storms,"Aaron and Leigh were wonderful hosts. They allowed us our privacy, but if we ever needed anything they were only an email or phone call away. The guest house itself has a lot of charm, from the incredibly amusing coffee table book--I won't spoil its contents for you--to the bird's-eye view of the property. It was a quiet and relaxing spot, but the best reason to stay here is the great location. While you might be a bit removed from downtown, you're only steps away from some true Austin gems: Ramsey Park, Central Market, the Draft House, Upper Crust Bakery, Noble Sandwiches, Pint House Pizza, and the Triangle.  I would definitely stay here again."
4288403,22206000,2014-11-01,4835270,Aaron,"Aaron and Leigh's place was every bit as gorgeous as the pictures led to believe, very comfortable and in an excellent neighborhood as well! I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin! "
4288403,22328117,2014-11-03,7010528,Julia,"Aaron and Leigh's Private Guest House is a lovely place to stay. I wish I lived there! I was in Austin for work so it was great to easily come and go without any fuss. They left us a 6pack of beer, had wifi ready to go, a computer/TV for Netflix, the works! and it was super clean and cozy. A cold front came in one of the nights we were there and Leigh simply messaged me to please use the space heaters and where they were and how to use them, etc. They made everything so easy which was crucial for the nature of this particular trip. And the location is perfect! I never actually met Aaron or Leigh but they made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Austin! A++"
4288403,22481581,2014-11-07,14757497,Ian,"I highly recommend this rental. 

Aaron and Leigh have a very convenient check-in and check-out process.  The unit is clean & comfortable and the wifi signal is strong. 

The unit is in a good location (near the Central Market on Lamar) and I had a great experience.  They also have a great coffee machine!

"
4288403,22502464,2014-11-08,1005001,Jeremy,"Hello All,
I *loved* this place: Secluded and surprisingly spacious with lots of windows and natural light. It's located in a great back yard, and I could hear lots of birds singing in the morning.
I'm originally from Austin, and knew the neighborhood from before, but was amazed at how quiet and walkable it is. There are restaurants and a great grocery store within strolling distance.
The hosts were very helpful and communicative about my stay, and yet, because of my schedule, I never met them in person!
I plan to return to Austin regularly, and this spot will be my first choice accommodation."
4288403,22552860,2014-11-09,10941785,Janet,"My family only stayed here for one night, but we really enjoyed it. Aaron was available to answer all my questions and was very accommodating to our schedule. Great experience and we would stay here again. "
4288403,22690336,2014-11-11,6940467,Glenn,"
Though we didn't get to meet the hosts, the house/loft was beautiful and they had all the right touches. Nice neighborhood short drive to town. Highly recommend"
4288403,22756469,2014-11-13,9743992,Don,"Aaron and Leigh are easy hosts with a great place to stay.  They were immediately responsive to my reservation request, adjusted to greet me as my arrival time changed, and made sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive.   Their guest house is indeed private - in their back yard up on the second floor of a shed.  Bed is comfortable. Media set up works and is easy to use.  Nice kitchenette.  Space heaters sufficient to warm it up.  (I was there on a cold night.)  Great place!"
4288403,22787285,2014-11-14,9743992,Don,"This was such a nice spot that I stayed an extra night!  Great neighborhood, great food recommendations.  I hope to return!"
4288403,22974685,2014-11-18,20871722,Giselle,It was an adorable space and super clean! Easy to get anywhere in Austin and several places in walking distance.
4288403,23028581,2014-11-20,6856247,Andrew,"Stay here if you come to Austin. That's all I can say. Great space, great bed, cold beer was left in the fridge. We loved the place. It was decorated beautifully. The checkin and check out was smooth. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone. 

"
4288403,23192552,2014-11-24,8459016,Kriti,My boyfriend and I stayed here for a long weekend and it was a home away from home. The guest house was very private and spacious. The space was extremely comfy and clean and we felt totally at ease. It was storming for part of the weekend and we were happy to stay in and relax. It truly felt like we had a little home to ourselves. The hosts were also very helpful and accommodating. Also everything we wanted to see in Austin was max 15 minutes away by car. It was a great experience overall !!  
4288403,23643716,2014-12-07,3630889,Scott,"We had a great time at the loft. Aaron and Leigh are excellent hosts who were always available and thoughtful. The checkin process was seamless, we even had fresh flower.  The loft itself is private, comfortable  and has a wonderful sound system. I particularly enjoyed the strategic location from Downton and the domain. We didn't want for anything while staying here. The original kerby lane is a 10 min walk away through a charming neighborhood. Very happy and would certainly stay here again. "
4288403,23829748,2014-12-11,15945607,Teresa,We were in Austin for three nights and really enjoyed Aaron and Leigh's place. Check in was hassle free and both Aaron and Leigh were lovely. To us the apartment felt like a tree house as it was surrounded by trees and squirrels. The place was super clean and Aaron and Leigh left us with plenty of provisions and some great tips for the area. Although not in the centre of downtown the area had a really great local feel with a great coffee shop and market. We had a car anyway and access to town was easy being only a 10-15minute drive. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
4288403,25238683,2015-01-10,1005001,Jeremy,Hi. This was my second stay at the guest house. It's a totally awesome and secluded retreat space! Checkin/checkout is a breeze. And the neighborhood is perfect. What more can I say?
4288403,25347028,2015-01-12,6096860,Kayla,"Aaron and Leigh were great hosts.  I never actually saw them, but through messages they were very helpful and friendly.  The information on how to access the back apartment was clear in their message, and going to and from the apartment was a breeze. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty big for two people. The bedroom has plenty of furniture to store clothes for longer stays. The bathroom was very clean. The living/kitchen area was also nice, but I didn't use the kitchen for cooking as I was only here for two nights. I would definitely recommend this location for guests from out of town!"
4288403,25464948,2015-01-17,19075521,Deborah (Debbi),"The guest house was comfortable and cozy.  The bed was super comfortable and the shower was great.  The two space heaters warmed the space quite well, however it took several hours for the inside temperature to be comfortable enough to remove our coats (outside temp. was in the 30's).  We appreciated Aaron & leigh's flexibility concerning the change in our plans.  The stocked refrigerator was a very nice touch as well as the box of chamomile tea.  Considering that we spent 5 nights here, we (my husband & myself) never felt crowded.  "
4288403,25854165,2015-01-27,10715669,Todd,"Aaron and Leigh's guest house was exactly as described. Very clean and spacious. They were very hospitable! For instance, I missed my initial flight, so my flight was delayed. They offered to refund me for the night that I missed. Very appreciated! I would recommend Aaron and Leigh's space, without question. I would definitely stay here again."
4288403,26004743,2015-02-01,4709830,Amber,"Aaron and Leigh were great hosts and communicated quickly.  Thanks for warming up the heaters, as it was a cold, rain night.  The place was clean and just as advertised.  It was convenient to everything and in a quiet neighborhood."
4288403,26172708,2015-02-05,27109266,Marc,"This is the ideal place for a single or a couple to stay in Austin. You can't beat the central location, and the guest house is private, pleasantly spacious, and very well maintained. The little things were great, too, from the water pressure (yesss!) to the comfy bed to the blazing-fast wifi. The hosts were helpful and responded to any messages quickly. Seriously, you can't ask for more."
4288403,27285775,2015-03-01,27741274,Julie,"We had a wonderful time staying at Aaron and Leigh's place!
It was just as they described it!  Homey, accommodating and close to everything we needed.  We picked the coldest weekend in Austin to visit so the space heaters they provided were a life saver!!
Thank you Aaron and Leigh!!!"
4288403,27381245,2015-03-02,2780352,Dana,"Lovely guest house in a very walkable neighborhood. The bed was comfortable and the space was nice and warm, despite the freezing temps in Austin. The hosts provided a helpful guide to the neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again."
4288403,27451980,2015-03-04,23678322,Robert,"Lovely place, just what we were looking for."
4288403,28122418,2015-03-18,8237612,Ruben & Marjanne,"Wonderful Austin hospitality by Aaron and Leigh during SXSW. Comfortable and spacious house. Lots of options for shopping and eating within walking distance. Aaron and Leigh were super friendly and nice, and I especially appreciate they offered to arrange bike rental and cab rides."
4288403,28296625,2015-03-22,1746412,Pi,We loves the neighborhood and the place was cute and spotless. Aaron and Leigh are wonderful hosts- there when you need them and friendly- but giving you your space. Would definitely come back!
4288403,28644627,2015-03-28,11017891,Gabrielle,"Aaron and Leigh were fantastic hosts! There were some snafus with the air conditioning when we arrived, but they comped us with a gift card to the best local coffee shop, so we didn't mind a bit. Leigh had the fridge stocked with wine, beer, and fresh strawberries when we arrived, and there were live flowers on the table. Also, the coffee maker/coffee is to die for. The guesthouse is nice and private with lots of natural light. We enjoyed going for runs in the morning on the Shoal Creek trail and picking up fancy groceries at Central Market. Mostly used it as a jumping off point to go downtown, but also enjoyed our time hanging out in Rosedale. Big thanks to Aaron and Leigh for making my mom's big birthday trip such a success!"
4288403,30029363,2015-04-16,29203917,Simon,"our stay at arron and leigh's guest house , was near perfect for us both . the location was ideal , in terms of our requirements it was exactly was written on the tin ,  as hosts nothing was too much trouble for them , and they were generous and very welcoming . our stay at their guest house very much added to the quality of our holiday , and for this alone we were very grateful ."

4288403,31248593,2015-05-03,31789731,Haley,"Aaron and Leigh's guest house was great! It's in an adorable neighborhood that is very close to everything. They left a list of suggested places to go, which was very helpful!
The house itself is clean, cozy, and slept 4 of us comfortably. The bonus was their adorably sweet dog who greeted us. 
I would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again in the future."
4288403,32277233,2015-05-16,25149814,Bethany,Aaron and Leigh are great! They stocked the fridge with some Texas beer that made us feel right at home. Great space in a great neighborhood! Thanks guys!
4288403,32942567,2015-05-23,27508108,Taehoon,"Aaron and Leigh have been just amazing throughout my stay at their place. They are extremely friendly and offer nothing but accommodation and hospitality. The place is accurately described as the pictures show and was neatly ready upon my arrival. They respond very quickly and are well-prepared for the common additional needs you might encounter. 

Overall, I entered, stayed, and left their place with such comfort and satisfaction. I also want to make a shotout to Aaron and Leigh for helping my family when my dad's car's battery ran out the morning we're checking out. Aaron spent his own time helping us with that problem even though it wasn't part of his duties at all! 

I would definitely suggest anyone to stay at their house any time."
4288403,33903345,2015-06-02,27109266,Marc,"This was my second time staying at Aaron's and Leigh's, and it was just as perfect as the first.  The apartment is so private,  the space is so open and well lit,  and it's got everything you need in the kitchen etc. It's also got great climate control now too with their new AC system. I have no doubt we'll be staying here a third time. Thanks!"
4288403,34156738,2015-06-05,20170796,Jen,"The guest cottage was spacious and very cute - description and photos were accurate.  I didn't get to spend much time in the guest house due to a late night work event and an early morning flight, but it was comfortable and clean.  Aaron & Leigh were responsive and welcoming. Would absolutely stay again."
4288403,35006200,2015-06-14,34473769,Travis,Loved the list of things to do nearby and the special extra touches like snacks in the refrigerator and shampoo/conditioner/lotion in the bathroom. The extra blankets and pillows provided were also a bonus. The whole place was very clean and in great shape! Great experience!
4288403,35550771,2015-06-20,30928920,Paul,"Very nice place, you feel like you are staying in a tree house. They left us strawberries for us which my kids loved and coffee as well, which my wife loved. They were very friendly and responsive. We loved the location in a great neighborhood a few blocks from a nice park. The place was very cute with lots of natural light. Very reasonable price in a great location, would recommend."
4288403,36600344,2015-06-29,36000543,Nirvana,"Two of my friends and myself had the pleasure of staying in Aaron and Leigh's guest house on our first trip to Austin. Staying here added even more Austin charm to our trip. It was a perfect location, being ideally 10 mins driving from anywhere we wanted to go! The house was clean and full of natural light! We were greeted when we arrived with fresh flowers, drinks in the fridge (including beer!), and many other thoughtful little things. There was plenty of space for the three of us and the bathroom was stocked with linens and toiletries. The neighborhood itself has great food locations including Houndstooth Coffee, Tacodeli, and Central Market. For our first airbnb stay, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much Aaron and Leigh! Hopefully we can stay with you again on our next visit back ^^. "
4288403,37009513,2015-07-03,17194412,Melissa & Daniel,"The guest house was so cozy and in a great location! It was so quiet! Everything was nice and clean, and the fridge was stocked with drinks and even had a little birthday cupcake (we were celebrating my birthday.) we would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away and experience Austin! :) "
4288403,37856360,2015-07-11,33519891,Julie,"Aaron and Leigh were excellent hosts and made us feel so very welcome in Austin. The bnb was so comfortable and roomy. The lighting was great and we loved the neighborhood. It was so nice to be able to walk to everything. We were even able to see great live music with our son and have an excellent dinner at Central Market. I would highly recommend them to anyone who visits Austin. 
Thank you for having us!
The Eisler's"
4288403,38167908,2015-07-13,11388458,Valentina,"This place is super cute and just like what you see in the photos. Aaron and Leigh left us a few drinks in the fridge and said hello to us when we arrived. They're friendly and the place is in a great location. We took their advice and had breakfast at the yummy Pacha and a drink at the Draught House during our short stay. Everything is super clean and nice here, give it a shot! Oh and there's a pool nearby."
4288403,38526557,2015-07-16,840265,Patrick,"The apartment was as described. The air conditioners worked great even on a 95 degree day. The place was very private and comfortable for two. We relied on the hosts recommendation for Olive and June, and had a great Italian dinner. Would use the place again without hesitation. "
4288403,39685485,2015-07-25,32153588,Margaret,"The apartment was very light and airy and nicely decorated. We loved having access to the Smart TV where we were allowed to use the host's Netflix account - very nice and thoughtful of them. 

There were plenty of towels, sheets, comforters, and shower supplies. 

Our only complaints, if you could call them that, were the very firm sofa bed and the lack of lighting in the backyard. 

The hosts were very quick to answer any texts and were more than accommodating.

We loved having the driveway reserved as parking is often scarce in Austin. There was plenty of space for our mid-size Sedan and a  14 ft. UHaul which we parked out front. 

Thank you again!
"
4288403,41234672,2015-08-05,13127360,Jacob,"We had a wonderful stay at Aaron and Leigh's apartment. It feels like a gem like getaway, but it's inside Austin - located in Rosedale, a nice neighborhood not too far from Hyde Park. The home was extremely clean and comfortable, and the perfect place for my family to reconnect after not seeing each other for a long time. If you are looking to have a peaceful retreat type of experience in this wonderful city, I highly recommend staying here. I will say, however, that this is a bit better of a place for two people to stay rather than three, just because the sofa bed is not as comfortable as the beautiful bed inside the home. "
4288403,41862842,2015-08-09,13663224,Kim,I rented the guest house for quick overnight getaway while my parents were in town.  The house is super cute and comfortable.  Hosts left beer in the fridge along with a list of all the great restaurants nearby (Pinthouse Pizza!!).  They were flexible on a late checkout and even let us walk their dog while exploring the neighborhood!  Great experience!
4288403,43514409,2015-08-20,37670641,Oliver,"I would recommend this place to anyone. For me, the best part about the guest house was that Aaron and Leigh are right there next to you and you don't even know about it. They give you all the privacy you could need, but are very helpful if you need it. I stayed by myself here and it was perfect, I had space to work from, space to chill at night and most importantly- great air conditioning. I was very happy when the hosts let me use their laundry facilities as well. Thanks for having me guys I would definitely stay again. "
4288403,45697377,2015-09-05,40989311,James,"The house was perfect - well kept, charming, and in a great neighborhood. Aaron and Leigh made check in easy, left a list of nearby restaurants, and had the fridge stocked with drinks and snacks. Would definitely stay here again! "
4288403,45998200,2015-09-07,16683170,John,"This was a great place to stay, the neighborhood was wonderful and it had plenty of things to do in the area. The owners gave us plenty of recommendations also of places to go and were very responsive. The host even had beer and yogurt in the fridge for us when we got there, which was a special touch that was appreciated. Overall, I would definitely stay here again."
4288403,46744054,2015-09-13,7884028,Nick,"We had a wonderful and peaceful stay! The place is gorgeously designed and decorated. And the hosts thought of everything. As a fellow airbnb host, I was very impressed!

The bedroom is spacious. The ac works wonderfully. They had a coffee machine ready to go. A large fridge stocked with beverages and yogurt. 

The apartment is its own unit in the well kept backyard. It's a quiet and private space for at least two.

The hosts were very friendly. We will be back next time we visit Austin!"
4288403,47979558,2015-09-22,31321921,Krystle & Jeremy,"This was our very first experience with AirBNB. These guys set the bar pretty high. They made everything so easy for us. We were traveling to Austin for our honeymoon but didn't want to spend a grand just to stay in a mid-rate hotel. This place was above and beyond our expectations, from the amazing coffee they provided to be freshly ground and made in the morning to the big comfy couch that we would come home to after a day of adventuring, to the fully stocked fridge of sparkling water and beer. It was like being home, but better. The space is large and full of light. It's comfortable and clean. The location of the unit was super convenient as well. Just a few minutes drive from all the things there are to do in Austin. The neighborhood felt safe and is super adorable. Aaron and Leigh were friendly and accommodating. The kind of people you would want to be friends with. We were honeymooning but we didn't have to remind them, they gave us our space in their space.  Thanks for the experience, guys! Next time we're in Austin, we will be staying here again! "
4288403,49033674,2015-09-30,3631372,Phil,"Nice Neighborhood with a couple great spots to walk too, Russels and Kerby lane cafe for breakfast or lunch. Very easy to get to downtown (about a 13.00 Uber) Met Leigh, super nice and they stocked the fridge with local craft beer though I neglected to check before buying some of my own (raincheck on that:). Great Stay!"
4288403,49597785,2015-10-05,25283207,Dustin,"Had the pleasure of enjoying Leigh's cute little guesthouse! Have to say I loved the decor and the style, especially the high ceilings in the living room (adds great natural light). Leigh was a great host, only ran into her once. She left some helpful instructions and insightful local favs for us to check out. If you are planning on visiting Austin, this is a prime choice! "
4288403,51309833,2015-10-19,35151185,Laura,Had a great stay at Aaron and Leigh while visiting UT-Austin for family weekend. The apartment is very comfortable and conveniently located. Would definitely recommend. 
4288403,51834057,2015-10-24,40231750,Jason,"Aaron & Leigh were extremely helpful and responsive hosts, and made the stay fantastic and hassle-free. I highly recommend booking with them!"
4288403,52300487,2015-10-27,207514,Jill,This was a great little private place in a convenient location. It was so cozy. Check in and checkout was easy as can be! 
4288403,52788562,2015-11-01,3801309,Amy,Great guesthouse in a peaceful yet convenient location! The space has a lot of natural light and is beautifully decorated. Aaron and Leigh left chocolate chips cookies on the table and cold beverages in the fridge. Felt like home. Check in was easy. Fantastic hosts.
4288403,53301499,2015-11-07,46189029,Kelly,Our stay was amazing! Thank you again and again 
5626835,41884446,2015-08-09,33691600,Alexis,"Maggie was an amazing host, so kind and helpful. The house was beautiful and in a perfect location to downtown. Clean, and everything worked perfectly. I will definitely recommend her to others. "
5626835,46008080,2015-09-07,27505271,Amy,"My friend and I really enjoyed our stay in Maggie's apartment. It was tastefully decorated as pictured and less than ten minutes to anywhere we wanted to go. Maggie was flexible about the check in time which I really appreciated as I was driving in from out of town after work. Staying in Maggie's apartment was my first time using Airbnb, and I can definitely say that the weekend would not have been as enjoyable or memorable had we opted for a regular hotel. This was the perfect choice!"
5626835,50468853,2015-10-12,39308859,Jonathan,"Check in was a breeze and Maggie was super cool and helpful,The place had everything I needed for a 3 day stay and is in a very quiet area that is still very close to restaurants and just about everything you need!"
5626835,51916823,2015-10-25,4027388,Marco,"The best stay in Austin: warm, clean, new and safe. Definitely thanks !"
7340463,41884001,2015-08-09,39933877,Jenna,"The space was very comfortable and private. We had a fantastic time romping around Austin and loved being able to come back to a comfortable spot to relax and recharge. Jila and her husband were extremely friendly and accommodating. The bathroom wad very clean, and there were even little chairs and a nice table right outside the door that could be used to relax. I did get bit in my sleep and woke up with a few bumps on my arm, but they are healing just fine. All in all I would definitely keep this spot in mind for my future visits to Austin."

7340463,51756118,2015-10-24,44661962,Omar Z.'Zen',Staying at the Haidarian's was extremely pleasant :) they're super amazing & kind people :) I felt like I was with close family. I'll always remember my stay in an awesome way & I look forward to booking another stay with them hopefully the next time I'm in Austin. Also the neighborhood is probably the best Austin has to offer... So close to mount bonnell's viewpoint & there's a great cafe really nearby (Russell's).  
2315963,10907046,2014-03-12,3156982,Alana,"I rented Chris' place for my colleague during SXSW. Here's what Ed had to say:

From the first moment I entered Chris's residence it felt like home. His keen sense of interior design, coupled with his kind demeanor left every night more enjoyable than the last. The time I spent at Chris's house was during the popular South by Southwest festival in Austin. After a long day of walking all over the city I took solace in the fact that had a comfortable bed waiting for me in the spacious room provided by Chris. I will definitely be reaching out to him if I ever am in Austin again!"
2315963,10967410,2014-03-15,5988265,Edgar,"My experience with Chris and his house was the best. He was all the time focused in our needs and paying attention anytime we needed his help. The house is great, good interior design, always clean. 


"
2315963,15260941,2014-07-06,5836038,Chaz,"(Listen up, I stayed with Chris for TWO MONTHS!)
Chris knocked this hosting thing out of the park. He went out of his way to make the stay enjoyable and care free. He had two separate keys for my friend and I, set up internet tv for us in the living room, took care of all paper towel, soap, tp, and bath towel needs - WITHOUT being asked. It was all ready for us. He also cleared out cupboard and refrigerator space for my friend and I, making it feel like home!

He always had recommendations for local goings-on. He is an excellent COMMUNICATOR.

The bottom line is Chris loves his house and takes good care of both it and his guests. I would recommend Chris for anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
2315963,21295888,2014-10-14,6756164,James,This is a very clean nice house we like the kitchen alot and the keurig Coffee machine. We had 2 beds and one sofa but other than that it was perfect.  The whole house has been remodeled and the showers have amazing water pressure. The outside Zen area with the little waterfall makes it nice to have a drink and ponder on the next day adventures. 
2315963,21945494,2014-10-27,9838133,Alyssa,"Chris was a top-notch host and made us feel very welcome in his beautiful home. The house was perfect for a group of 4. It's on a quiet street, but not too far from Austin's best attractions. Bedrooms, bathrooms, and all of the amenities exceeded expectations. I look forward to staying here again!"
2315963,22362448,2014-11-04,21498251,Clay,"Chris was awesome and so is his home. He has really thought through everything. He accommodated our late arrival and even gave us some great recommendations for where to go in the neighborhood. The location was perfect for getting out to the race track, the airport, or into downtown, set perfectly between all three. His home is beautifully designed and you won't be wanting for anything while there. There were two of us so we had more than enough space, and appreciated each having our own bathroom. "
2315963,23430222,2014-12-01,18201537,Jennifer,Chris was a great host. He met me the night I arrived and showed me around the house. We were there for a month during which time he was both respectful of our privacy (you wouldn't even know he lives downstairs) and super responsive when we had questions or concerns. He left a great list of local recommendations as well and the house is well equipped for a very comfortable extended stay.
2315963,24488258,2014-12-29,8215423,Yimeng,"Chris is a wonderful host, he designed his house in every possible way to makes you feel like home, everything is well thought out. Ultimate kitchen setup, great private space and lot of board games to make our Christmas so much fun.Even have edgy ""Nest"" smart home system to build in. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
"
2315963,25110913,2015-01-06,7281973,Raneath,"Chris was a fantastic host. He answered all of my questions and made sure that we had everything we needed during our visit. Chris went above and beyond and left a bottle of champagne for us to celebrate the new year. The house itself was clean, inviting, and full of fun modern details. We were just a short drive away from downtown. I highly recommend booking a stay here when visiting Austin!"
2315963,26842998,2015-02-20,6840922,Michelle,"Chris' place is so fun and comfortable. It was immaculately clean and full of thoughtful and helpful touches that made my stay all the more enjoyable -- like mags about mid-century design, great bath products, fluffy towels, and take-out menus.  I really enjoyed my stay amidst the fantastic light fixtures, back splash, retro bath tubs, sunken living room, and vintage wire wall art.  The internet was super fast; the bed is on the softer side of medium; the kitchen is fully stocked for a chef; and the shower's water pressure was perfect. Parking on the driveway or the street is no issue and getting to the South Congress area takes about 5-10 minutes driving. Chris is very accommodating, responsive, interesting, and generous; a great Airbnb host.  "
2315963,28159241,2015-03-19,11224190,Jean,"I stayed at the property for sxsw in 2015 and the experience was fantastic. The house is very comfortable, spacious, extremely clean, in a quiet neighbourhood and very cosy. Chris was a great host, very organised and offered to help throughout our stay but wasn't intrusive - didn't even meet him in person. Taxis and ubers into town are very easy to find and it was roughly a 10 bucks trip. Would highly recommend to anyone planning on going to Austin! "
2315963,28522576,2015-03-25,3516298,Paul,"Chris was an amazing host.  His home  is bright, clean and comfortable and looks just as it does in the photos.  The location is very convenient to downtown as well as the airport.  I hope to stay there again next time I visit Austin."
2315963,28914896,2015-03-31,7085455,Adella,"Chris' place is stunning! He was a great host. The home is a visual treat, very clean and well stocked with every convenience. I would stay again in an heartbeat! Thank you Chris!"
2315963,29677123,2015-04-11,515653,Alice,"Chris was a wonderful host! From the easy rapport created right from booking to the Welcome basket filled with great snacks he left for us when we arrived, he made himself available in every way we might have needed. The house is perfectly situated in a quiet neighborhood, provided more than ample space for my family of three to enjoy and had the most modern tech I've ever seen in a house yet (think USB ports and plugs everywhere!). We drove all over Austin during our stay but were never more than 10-15 minutes away from the house and it's ideally located a very short drive from the airport too. We loved this house and definitely plan to return!"
2315963,30901763,2015-04-28,4559685,Jennifer,"Gorgeous house in absolutely perfect condition... super-clean and stylish, with lovely amenities like high quality linens, comfy bathrobes for guests, and a welcome package with snacks for our arrival. We were so happy that we ended up staying at this house, rather than a hotel... it was half the price for 4x the space, and a wonderful place to call home for the weekend. The house is in a safe residential area just a short drive outside of the South Congress area and downtown (we took ubers and it was super-convenient to get around). Chris was very helpful and responsive, and a truly great host. "
2315963,33364762,2015-05-27,7217938,Aidan,"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! Chris was very helpful and informative. This was by far the easiest experience we have ever had with a rental/airbnb. Can't rave enough about how comfortable, clean and convenient the apartment was. "
2315963,50425570,2015-10-12,7849109,Victoria,"We had a wonderful time at Chris's home in Austen. The house is just as the pictures portray- fun, clean, hip and cozy. The location is great- -5 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from south congress. The neighborhood is quiet and there are two porches for enjoying coffee. Chris was a great host- helpful and organized!"
2315963,52420198,2015-10-29,32613749,Sarbani,"I loved the place. Truly it was lovely. The house is kept in a pristine condition.  Its a lovely retreat, located close to everything imaginable.

I  am only hoping I can go back soon. I felt totally at home there. 
He has great taste and its an open inviting space.

Chris thoroughly planned out the whole stay, and he makes the process super simple.  It was easy , fun , just really the best place I stayed at!"
3490190,22526784,2014-11-09,14344662,Morgan,"I stayed in the spare bedroom of Danielle's home for a little over a month and she did a wonderful job of making me feel welcome and accommodating any needs that came up!  As a host, Danielle she was very friendly and our interactions were always easy and laid back, it was very nice to be in such a low stress environment!  

The room itself is cozy with its own mostly private bath/laundry room, which was awesome, a small desk for a laptop, and a firm and comfortable bed.  The main common space has a nice little galley kitchen,  hardwood floors, and a balcony which is comfortable for enjoying fresh air in the mornings or relaxing in the evenings.  

The location is in south Austin and is super close to convenient public transportation or main arterial highways, if you happen to be traveling with a vehicle.  The condo has an awesome, friendly, dog who can be as interactive as guests are comfortable with, but is content to just hang out with Danielle if that is the preference.

All in all we had a great visit to Austin and while the condo is not downtown, access to the city was easy and we would definitely recommend Danielle's place as a home base for someone looking to explore, or spend some time in, Austin!

Unfortunately, my plans changed and we ended up not using the room for the night. Overall, judging from our phone conversations, he appears to be a great host. "
2128394,10908918,2014-03-12,12304550,Dania,"Alex was a very nice host, he accommodated to everything we needed, and was very willing to help us in any way that was possible. He provided us with a clean room and bathroom and also left us chocolates, and other snacks for us to eat. He had clean towels, sheets, and even offered to refund us with a blow dryer since we forgot ours at home. He also told us we were welcome to anything in the kitchen and had amazing coffee in his coffee maker! The drive to downtown was not too far and we were easily able to get around! I would definitely recommend his place and stay here again."
2128394,10933837,2014-03-13,12932372,Prashant,"Excellent first airbnb experience - Alex went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. From a bathroom fully stocked with things you may have forgotten and fancy new soaps to chocolates and snacks in our room, we received 5 star service from a generous host. My only regret is that I didn't get to stay longer and chat with Alex about his interesting work."
2128394,11273814,2014-03-27,2083008,James,Nice location. Quiet and secure.  Perfect for a short stay

2128394,11760674,2014-04-14,6181941,Els,Nice room and bathroom in a nice appartment complex. Alex is very friendly and laid back. We enjoyed our stay with him. 
2128394,16867830,2014-08-03,11864584,Timi,"Alex is very gracious, and his place is very nice. The small refrigerator in the room is a great idea-he and his roomie Tim even put in a desk for me! The kitchen is well-stocked with spices, cookware and dinnerware, wifi is very good, and there's tons of programming on TV. I like this place so much that I booked one more week! Very highly recommended if you're ever in this area."
2128394,17316294,2014-08-10,11864584,Timi,"I had originally planned to stay for just a week, but my trip was extended, and I just couldn't think of a better place to stay. Not only was my stay with Alex quite enjoyable, I also enjoyed meeting his little girl, and his roommate Tim. Most of all, I feel like I made a friend, and I'll never forget my time there."
2128394,17911354,2014-08-18,10073861,Robert,"Alex is a great host, and his place is in a great location.  I would definitely stay there again the next time my travels take me to Austin."

2128394,22440849,2014-11-06,5705954,Fatemeh,"Fabulous place & Alex is a super sweet guy! The room & bathroom had everything I needed. It was very comfortable and clean.

The apartment complex is really nice. There's a pretty walking trail very close by. I stayed for a week & had a great experience. 

Don't forget to visit Torchy's Taco (the Queso is amazing) & Verts Kebap just down the road! :)"
2128394,22620781,2014-11-10,6278558,Marie,"Exactly what I needed. Definitely helps to have a car here, but I was able to make it work with cabs and Uber. Alex was friendly, and room and bathroom clean and private. Would recommend!"
2128394,24748344,2015-01-02,24208576,Eriverto,"The room that I stayed in was very comfortable, and it had its own bathroom which made it a plus.  The room is fully furnished, and it has its own mini fridge.  A car is  a must if you plan to stay here, but the area is nice and quiet.  Also the drive to downtown is about 20 to 30 minutes.   Alex is a very cool guy who made my stay very comfortable, and I really liked my stay there."
2128394,35961110,2015-06-23,34133801,Alex,"Alex is an excellent host. Makes an effort to make sure you are accommodated. The room is clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood quiet. He is generous and available when you need him, and completely non-intrusive if you're doing your own thing."
8732976,50402652,2015-10-11,45950539,Mary,"My daughter, her friend, and myself stayed at Quinn's lovely home for ACL weekend. The picture is true, but much more warm and welcoming in person. Quinn and Emma were great hosts and we felt very safe. The bed was comfortable and they even provided an additional inflatable bed. You are close to downtown, HEB; Torchy's; Capital One Bank less than 5 minutes up East 51st. A little future up are more Shopping store: Home Depot, Marshall, ect.. And access to I 35 is right there. Also public transportation on the corner of Manor and E. 51st and a Corner Store as well. There are many positives I could keep stating, but instead will just say that ""I would stay here again and definitely recommend their home to everyone!"""
8732976,50994900,2015-10-16,6479605,Jane,"I slept well at this cozy mini-apartment near the Mueller development.  I was in Austin for a meeting with friends at a wonderful restaurant that was less than a  mile away.  The room is large, with a shower, a mini-fridge, a great TV, and supplied with tea and coffee.  I met the hosts and their cute puppy, and they were so nice and accommodating.  Good place to stay, mainly because of the location, but also very reasonably priced. "
8732976,51963534,2015-10-25,24190341,Brian,What a great place to stay. Perfect alternative to a hotel stay! The room is great and I love the bed!
1846411,14622427,2014-06-23,14842831,Annette,"Our hosts, Chuck and Albert, are amazing. They are kind and easy going. There to help you out with recommendations when you need them and yet not intrusive or overbearing. I really enjoyed getting to know them almost as much as my visit itself! 

The house is beautiful. Chuck and Albert are renovating this home and they've done many others as well. It is a high quality renovation - Chuck does his homework when it comes to choosing vendors and suppliers! It is beautiful but also very easy to maintain and efficient in terms of the space. What I loved most is that it is not cluttered like many of the locations I checked out. It is strictly a vacation rental and therefore you don't have to maneuver around ""other people's stuff!"" Fabulous.

The neighborhood is really perfect. You are right downtown and you can walk to anything worth walking to! Restaurants, the lake, bars, movie theaters...you name it and it is just around the corner! It is street parking which seems a bit worrisome but we really never had a problem finding a space and never used the carport parking facility.

One thing that did cause a bit of worry and confusion at the outset was that the house in the photo is on top of the part where you will stay. The house has been renovated as a duplex but, not to worry, they are completely separate and frankly the configuration lends itself to creating a very private experience for the renter. 

I thought about how this could have been better explained but the fact is that it would have been hard to do justice to the space in photographs. It is fantastic and we had a wonderful, wonderful experience there."
1846411,20024113,2014-09-22,4027988,New,"We LOVED this place.  The space was modern, beautiful, and very welcoming.  The outdoor space was great for morning coffee.  Chuck was a fabulous host and provided us with clear instructions and helpful info about the area.  The neighborhood was a little west of where we were originally we looking to be, but all of us were very happy with the location once we got there.  We could walk to shopping and it was a quick 10-15 minute drive to Zilker Park and South Congress.   Definitely recommend.  "

1846411,28307784,2015-03-22,1995720,Karen,"This house is in an amazing location in Austin, an easy walk from shopping at Whole Foods, and just over a mile walk into downtown's bars, restaurants and businesses.  It is newly renovated and spotlessly clean, and the adjacent grassy outdoor space (lined with bamboo plants) is beautiful.   Very spacious and comfortable sitting area and kitchen, and gorgeous natural light in all rooms."
1846411,34214893,2015-06-06,32233402,Genie,"     We were so pleased with the guest quarters at Bat City House.
The delightful apartment was filled with daylight, spotlessly clean,
sported an outstanding kitchen and baths, and a landscaped garden.
The enchanting garden offered us a lush, green, private world designed for dining and relaxation.  The apartment's exterior entrance and interior living area were enhanced by the beautiful garden views.  And the garden sculpture was icing on the cake!
     Our experienced hosts exceeded all expectations before and during our stay.

3103356,15368565,2014-07-07,7483943,Abigail,"My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed our stay at Jane's home. The spaces were clean and nicely decorated, very homey with a touch of modern/contemporary. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, but also close enough for our downtown excursions, Congress for good eating and Town Lake. Jane was also very accommodating getting us the keys as she was out of town and trusted a close friend of mine who lives in ATX to pick up the keys for me before she left. Overall, we had a great stay and recommend anyone to stay at Jane's if you get the chance."
3103356,22571444,2014-11-09,23422184,Ajay,We really enjoyed our stay at Jane's place.  The space was clean and well decorated.  My dogs really enjoyed the backyard as well.  Jane was very easy to work with and answered my questions swiftly.  I would definitely consider staying here in the future and you should too.
3103356,28122488,2015-03-18,10204169,Kathryn,We both loved staying in Jane's house and found it to be perfect for what we were looking for.  Jane was a fantastic host and gave me some amazing tips for places to eat etc on the first night I arrived. The house had everything we needed and more.  We loved the area and ended up hiring bikes so it was only about 15 minutes to get into downtown and the convention centre and surrounds where most of SXSW was being held.  Its definitely a very suburban area but its close to everything - particularly in the SoCo area.  I wouldn't hesitate in recommending this house to anyone heading to Austin.  
3103356,29086391,2015-04-03,8256334,Chris,"Jane was a joy.  She's a gracious host, and has a lovely home.  We'll definitely stay again!"
3103356,33012446,2015-05-24,32545856,Tiffany,Beautiful place in a great location.  Minutes from all the action! Closed in yard for the dogs. Exactly what we were looking for.
9063597,52198595,2015-10-26,27273721,Chris,"My stay with Jeff was great. The room was basic but had exactly what it described. It had a large pillow top mattress and a private bathroom. Jeff had some super awesome suggestions and was VERY easy to get along with. Great neighborhood, and very close to the city, as well as a great atmosphere to stay at. So overall very good stay and an awesome host. "
9063597,52944576,2015-11-02,33410819,Mahmood,Perfect host!  Very welcoming and accommodating.  The place was exactly what I needed for my stay in Austin!
9063597,53037464,2015-11-03,47590313,Adam,So comfortable I booked for a 2nd night!!
230933,996787,2012-03-13,552471,Mick,"Walter was a great host.  Friendly, has a great sense of style in the house, and tremendously helpful, even giving me his umbrella on a rainy day.  He was super flexible with my checkin/out times and I was very comfortble there.  The bed was comfy and the room had plenty of space, and room in the closet for hanging clothes."
230933,1312997,2012-05-20,1416793,Tammy,Great host!  Adorable house!  Within walking to great restaurants and bars.  Walter couldn't have made our stay any more comfortable!
230933,3849891,2013-03-20,5413889,Terri,"We stayed in this terrific house for a week while visiting our son and daughter in love during SXSW. It was perfect for us! The location is ideal, close to the action while tucked away in a pleasant neighborhood. This quaint house, with its upstairs room is cozy with a great bed, huge TV and plenty of room provided all the comforts of home. 
Walter is easygoing and approachable making sure our needs were met and questions answered.
We would stay again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to you."
230933,3941789,2013-03-29,5302478,Rebekka,"We had a great stay at Walters house. Everything went smoothly and he his a great host.
Stay recommended for anybody who wants a relaxing stay near the heart of austin.
Regards, Rebekka + Christian"
230933,3991599,2013-04-01,5639021,Lauren,"Walter's house is just wonderful - it's in a lovely location by the Texas State Cemetery, within walking distance of all the restaurants, bars, and food trucks on 11th and 6th streets. Walter and Sarah were friendly and extremely accommodating, allowing us to bring our dog and giving great advice about places to visit. Thanks for making this such a great trip!"
230933,4965418,2013-06-04,337164,Maricela,"We had a wonderful stay with Sarah & Walter. They are lovely friendly hosts, and their home is comfortable, cozy and convenient. The location is close enough to walk to whatever your heart desires but far away enough also that you will have peace and quiet after long days in the Texas sun. Dotson and Beady, the family pets, are well behaved and great company, so cute and friendly, we enjoyed meeting them as well! This home's interior is so cool and beautiful to look at, you'll be happy you came here. We loved our stay. Thanks again!"
230933,7899365,2013-10-07,7739663,Aakash,"We stayed at Walter's over the ACL weekend and had a wonderful stay. Walter and Sara were excellent hosts and really good company, not to mention quite adept at helping us find places to grab some grub in the middle of the night! The house is located close to downtown, very well kept and nice & homely."
230933,11063230,2014-03-18,12910801,Melissa,"My husband and I had an amazing time at Walter and Sarah's!  They were so sweet and attentive.  Always made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, but let us have our privacy as well.  The room is as clean and adorable as the picture, bed was comfortable, personal mini fridge was full of snacks, house was amazing, and it was walking distance to downtown (we did the walk every day).  What more could you want?!"
230933,11293205,2014-03-28,13247235,Adali,"We had a great stay with Sarah and Walter! The room was clean, the bed was comfortable for two people and the house was adorable. The house is located close to good restaurants, nightlife and local attractions. We were able to use the Austin bike share station two blocks away. They are a friendly couple and went the extra mile to make sure we were very comfortable and had everything that we needed. Hands down, this is a great place to stay! Oh, and the best part was they left us snacks :). "
230933,13895835,2014-06-07,13833289,Hanna,Walter and Sarah were extremely helpful--it is clear that they love their city and wanted to make sure we had a fantastic experience in Austin. The neighborhood was also really interesting and close to everything. A great stay!
230933,13994579,2014-06-09,13185309,Jennifer,"We enjoyed a lovely stay at the Coots House! The home is cozy, quaint, and colorfully decorated with lots of artsy and kitschy items. We were most impressed with the guest room - clean and they included some thoughtful additions for guests, such as light grab-and-go snacks, a mini fridge, and a flat screen with Apple TV! Walter was so helpful with providing suggestions of places to see and things to do around Austin. He and Sarah were both friendly and enjoyable to chat with. The house is conveniently located with only a 10-15 minute walk to the downtown area, and we enjoyed a few neighborhood restaurants very near their place. I am also in LOVE with their very sweet rescue dog, and I wanted to take him home with me. Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to the area."
230933,15117925,2014-07-02,10651965,Jes,"Sarah and Walter were wonderful hosts!  They were accommodating, helpful, and really nice to hang out and talk with.  The listing was exactly what was expecting--the room was cool and quiet, private bath was excellent, and the bed was comfortable.  I would room again and recommend to anyone headed to Austin.  The neighborhood was quaint, quiet, and easily accessibly by car and walking."
230933,17248187,2014-08-09,4666138,Christina,"The Coots were great hosts, I arrived late in the evening and left early in the morning and didn't spend anytime in Austin. The bed was very comfortable and their dog was very friendly. I would recommend Walter and Sarah to anyone staying in Austin looking for a beautiful place that is centrally located."
230933,19630977,2014-09-15,16023800,Elizabeth,"The Hosts- Awesome. They were SUPER accommodating, more than I could have asked for. I wanted to wait in line at Franklins BBQ and could have checked-in after eating. Walter insisted that I drop by super early in the morning so we wouldn't have to lug our luggage around. We forgot our beach towel, and we got a (hilarious cat) towel. We needed an extra pillow for my partner's back/neck: done. There is a  general sense that you'd be there to help us out. All around incredibly welcoming and friendly, and they were also cool with us going in and out at our own time and schedule, which included late Saturday/ Sunday night. Not to mention, BEST DOG EVER.

The room- Spacious and comfortable. I'm sorry I have a sweet tooth and ate all the gummy candies. :)

The neighborhood-- Walking distance to Franklin's and all the great little shops and cafes on 11th street. I also walked (5 minutes?) to 6th street multiple nights, late at night, for some midnight tacos and beverages (what a great street). We even walked to downtown in 20. In short, very accessible. 

Highly recommend the Coots house!"
230933,19903134,2014-09-20,9372884,Mohit,"The Coots House is fantastic. My girlfriend and I spent a Friday night at Walter and Sarah's house and were impressed by their hospitality and friendliness. They accommodated an early check-in for us and gave us some great recommendations for the Austin area. The house and room are exactly as described. They also have a young dog, Torgo, who is extremely friendly and fun!

The location very nice as well. I was visiting the UT Austin campus. Although I drove there, it is a 20 minute walk from the house. Additionally, Rainy Street and 6th Street are both $5 uberX rides from the house.

We would recommend this house to anyone visiting the Austin area! Thanks Walter and Sarah."
230933,20707308,2014-10-04,18115243,Yunjeong,"The coots was an easy-going and amazing hosts! We stayed Austin for ACL anf had fun with cozy, clean room. Everything in the room was exactly what we expected. The location is so nice that we could walk to 6th Street and the Capitol. Their dog Torgo was friendly young dog. We will definitely stay again if we visit later!"
230933,20926561,2014-10-07,21741831,Allie,"Very welcoming hosts, plenty of towels and toiletries and beer in the fridge. Probably not ideal for all groups of three, but worked perfectly for us as we didn't mind crashing on the chaise lounge. Walking distance to some restaurants and bars, but recommend using über or lyft to get downtown. Loved the Blue Dahlia Bistro for lunch nearby. Thanks very much!"
230933,21277829,2014-10-14,8522599,Jen,"Sarah and Walter are fantastic hosts. Their house is cute, comfortable, and clean, and they made us feel right at home. The location is extremely convenient and the neighborhood is great, with a nice selection of restaurants, bars, etc. within walking distance. Sarah and Walter are super friendly and laid-back and we loved hanging out with them and their wonder dog, Torgo. This is the kind of Airbnb experience we were looking for - our own space, a taste of life in Austin, and some new friends. Very highly recommended!"
230933,21957546,2014-10-27,4049707,Jeff,"I can't say enough how gracious, awesome, and sweet Walter and Sarah were.  Not only did they provide me with a ideal room, they were ready with plenty of fresh linens, my own super clean bathroom, snacks, a mini fridge, internet, and a super comfortable bed, but they are both the kind of people I could easily connect with.  It was like I was staying with good friends, rather than strangers.
The neighborhood was a perfect place to stay in Austin.  A nice walk, or quick Uber to downtown, and a few blocks from some of the hip, casual bars and restaurants in East Austin.

2278168,12324497,2014-04-28,14763030,Allison,Shauna was an absolute life saver! She was able to accommodate me on extremely short notice and could not have been sweeter about it! Her place is just as immaculate in real life as it appears in the pictures. I would gladly stay at shauna's again should I find myself in Austin. Thanks again Shauna!
2278168,18911058,2014-09-02,17232241,Simone,"Shauna was a fantastic host, providing city info and local insights, and very easy to communicate with. The snacks on our arrival was a nice touch.

Very easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating  - even going as far as to ask if there were any snacks she could have ready for me.  I was running late in my travels and she stayed to ensure she could meet with me and go over everything with me.

The home was very cute and clean and perfect for what I needed.  It is exactly as pictured and was great to relax in after a long day of business travel.  I would definitely stay again."
2278168,20371222,2014-09-28,3985431,Vincent,"Shauna is awesome and her apartment was perfect for me and my girlfriend on our casual trip to Austin.  I knew Shauna was a great person and would be an awesome host even before we showed up in Austin.  She went out of her way to send me a list of fun things to do Austin, knowing that we were first-timers.  She had everything ready for us, and we really appreciated how smoothly everything about the trip went.  

The apartment is in a nice neighborhood, ideally located between the South Congress area, and downtown Austin.  It was walking distance (~15m) to both of these locations.  The apartment complex is nice and safe.  The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and cozy.  I would recommend Shauna and her apartment to everyone I know!"

Next door to Dominican Joe's coffee and only a block to the Colorado River bike path, and a quick 10-15 minute walk to DT Austin. In spite of Shauna being sick, she still managed to have the studio clean and ready for us. Early AM departure was equally as easy. I would definitely stay at Shauna's place again and would recommend it for 1-2 people. Many thanks Shauna. Hope you are feeling better.

Chris and Sue"
2278168,24766074,2015-01-02,65021,Ashleigh,Shauna was great to deal with and made arrival and departure easy. I was travelling and difficult to get a hold of in the days leading to my trip and Shauna went out of her way to make sure I'd received all details. The apartment is located in a central location close to great bars and restaurants. Everything was as pictured. I'd recommend to other travellers to Austin.
2278168,25579287,2015-01-19,3281079,Kim,"Shauna Lynn was a fabulous host and this studio is great. Super cute, clean, convenient location. Shauan Lynn communicated with me via both email and text, was super super friendly and went out of her way to accommodate me. The apartment is exactly as the pictures show, the bed is super comfortable, the building is in the perfect location (walking distance to all of South Congress, 5 min walk to get on the Town Lake trail, short cab ride to all of downtown). This was an awesome place to stay and I highly highly recommend Shauna Lynn and her apartment :)"

The place itself was clean and, while not big, totally comfortable. And the building's rooftop is phenomenal."
2278168,40002282,2015-07-27,26308662,Kelly,"Shauna was in contact all the way up to when we arrived and was there to greet us!
The area is good and easy to get to downtown and SoCo. There is also bus stop across the road to downtown if you don't fancy the walk.

The accommodation is exactly as described and was perfect for the two of us."
2278168,43656914,2015-08-21,11321560,Hollie,"Shauna was an excellent host - extremely helpful and made me feel really welcome. Lovely apartment, with an easy walk into the city and to loads of cool places on South Congress! The roof terrace is awesome."
2278168,47690230,2015-09-21,7246271,Sarah,"Shauna made me feel very welcome. She met me at her place, gave me the lay of the land, and was very accommodating. Her apartment was very comfortable and exactly what I needed for the weekend. "
2278168,48665807,2015-09-27,26224931,Monica,Shauna was a great host! Her apartment was in a great location! The bed is ridiculously comfortable! My parents really enjoyed their stay here
5641626,28111890,2015-03-17,6987801,Ari,"Scott and his siblings were very polite and friendly.  The room was very comfortable and there was a spacious shower and peaceful, convenient outside deck.  The location was great and the place was very quiet.  The facilities could have been a bit cleaner, but I was so grateful to find this place at the last minute and the price was right!  (I also think it was their first time hosting.)  I would still highly recommend staying here.  Great experience!  "
1682929,12195906,2014-04-25,12502123,Kelvin,"Mikayla and Matthew are great hosts. They are very accommodating and always available to answer any questions. The private room (with a bathroom next to it) is on the ground floor by itself, so you feel as if you have your own place. Located in a quiet neighborhood, their home is spotless with two friendly cats."
1682929,12227671,2014-04-26,4288742,Sara,"A girlfriend and I stayed at Matthew & Mikayla's house for a long weekend getaway in the city. First of all, the location is excellent - just a short drive from downtown Austin and the many sights to see around town. Secondly, the house is impeccably clean, modern, and comfortable. As a guest, you have your own bedroom, bathroom, and sitting area that is separate from the main living floor, which is great if you like your privacy. I particularly enjoyed sitting outside on the patio in the mornings and enjoying the warm spring breeze and sunshine. Matthew & Mikayla were also superb hosts, and gave us many ideas for where to eat and what to do around town. Top notch hospitality - you wont find a better home or host in the area!"
1682929,14001173,2014-06-09,16377371,Emily,"My girlfriend and I spent a long weekend at Matthew and Mikayla's beautiful home. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Close and convenient to so many different, awesome Austin spots. On top of that, their home is immaculate and stylish. The owners are delightful and went over the top to make our stay perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. "
1391406,28092195,2015-03-17,7977356,Greg,"Mark's place was clean, quiet, and a perfect location: not too far from town and very close and easy access to the airport. Also, mark and his housemates are incredibly warm and willing to help you get acquainted with the immediate neighborhood and Austin as a whole. You can't really go wrong staying here. "
1391406,28131869,2015-03-18,2782377,Veronic,"Mark & his brother Sam are really amazing hosts!
It was my first time in Texas/Austin but also one of my best airbnb experience.
They took care of me like a friend, picked me up at the airport, shared dinner and breakfast... 
Their place are exactly like in the pictures. Spacious, super clean, with a comfortable bed.
The private bathroom, bottles of water and little Advil at disposal were also really appreciate ;)
So if you want to be comfy as in an hotel but like if you are visiting some friends, don't hesitate! 




"
1391406,28533434,2015-03-25,28884257,Alexy,Mark and Sam were wonderful hosts. Both were easy to communicate with and were very hospitable. Sam even picked us up from the airport. They had coffee ready every morning. They really made us feel welcomed and at home. The house is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. An Uber ride to downtown was only around $10. The room was immaculate and had a double vanity private bath. Overall a great space in a great location. Mark and Sam made the experience effortless. I could not have asked for better hosts. Thanks for an awesome time in Austin! 
1391406,49846230,2015-10-06,23763416,Melissa,"My experience staying with Mark & Sam was fantastic. I've never used Airbnb before so I was a little hesitant at first, but they made my stay very comfortable and welcoming, and I'd definitely stay at their place again! I was there for ACL weekend and really enjoyed the ease of everything, and communication with my hosts was on point! They even left water and some chocolates in the room and offered me rides to ACL if I wanted (I didn't take them up on this only because our schedules didn't really align but I appreciated the gesture). They were very kind and the room was even better looking than the pictures. There was no couch but instead a nice desk, some fun decor, and everything was clean and updated. Thanks for an awesome stay!"
1391406,50690851,2015-10-13,5109861,Vasya,"If you are looking for fun and friendly atmospheres - Mark's place is what you want. i stayed at the master bed room and it was clean and roomy, private bathroom and the closet attached. Kitchen, living room and the room with the pool table!!! used by everyone and as well neat and comfortable.
What I did find different from my other airbnb stays Mark is treating you more like a roommate than a person staying at his place. Even if it's just for few days. I find it really cool. I stayed at his place for the time of a big music festival. The day I wanted my privacy we just had a conversation and I was offered a couple advices and the day I was set on having fun we hang out at the festival with his friends. Appreciate not to be force to be friendly or opposite be treated with indifferent politeness. I guess what I am trying to say is if you like to be treated as a friend, have open conversations about multiply topics and do over a beer on the clean kitchen you will like Mark place. "
685361,3770686,2013-03-13,3879910,Sarina,"Laura's home was very spacious... the pictures don't do it justice. A completely understatement from the real thing! 
She was very accommodating, it was clean and she was very helpful overall. 

"
685361,4076577,2013-04-08,5180553,Michael,Laura was great.  The place is amazing.  Perfect for a large group!
685361,7513159,2013-09-23,4820717,Jonathan,Laura was a great host. The house is more amazing than the pictures can show. I would recommend the house to anyone looking to accomodate a lot of people.
685361,11740243,2014-04-14,11700646,Carlos,The house is absolutely amazing. This truly is a spacious home and it is only 5 minutes away from 6th Street. The host is really understanding and reasonable. This is definitely a place to stay for large groups.
685361,12345806,2014-04-29,1324410,E,wonderful house. very comfortable. LOTS of room.
685361,20735472,2014-10-05,16041179,Bill,"Great house, great location, hosts were great as well.  House was much bigger and nicer than we even expected.  We have nothing but good things to say."
685361,22234703,2014-11-02,20955455,Mike,"Laura was an excellent host and everything about the house fit the description and our expectations!  We'll be back next year!  Thank you, Laura!  A great experience."
685361,28379497,2015-03-23,451338,Bora,"Amazing house, great location that's close enough to downtown and also secluded enough in a serene, quiet neighborhood. Laura was wonderful in every way. Our team was blown away. We'd love to come back and stay again."
685361,28706123,2015-03-29,236650,Norman,House was lovely. Really great location with a ton of space. Laura was super nice and very responsive. I would recommend for any large group and definitely stay here again.
685361,30217364,2015-04-19,15014944,Jordan,Laura was very pleasant to work with as we planned our trip. The house was great and lived up to the nice pictures that are shown on AirBnB. It was a real treat to stay there.
685361,33002419,2015-05-24,32053491,Nick,"Absolutely perfect!  We had the greatest time and the accommodations were fantastic.  Everything from the communication prior to the day of our arrival, Laura could not have been better to work with for our trip.  The location is ideal, close to everything, and the set up in the house is perfect for a group.  We were able to hang out together inside and outside, everyone had their space.  Can't wait to visit again, I will definitely be back."
685361,36102269,2015-06-25,20388152,Blake,The pictures don't do this place justice.  I lived here for a month.  This place is really comfortable.  There is a nice separation from the living space and the bedrooms.  The ability to walk to the grocery store was pretty awesome. 
685361,50277235,2015-10-11,17657230,Travis,"Laura made my group feel very comfortable and was very flexible on working with us.  We had people coming in a different time of the day and accommodated all of us with open arms.

The listing and explanation of the home was spot on and very helpful in deciding to stay at this location.  The house did not disappoint. "
685361,51881303,2015-10-25,31113500,Rick,"This is our second year to visit Austin and stay in Laura's wonderful home. It accommodated our group very well with enough space to eat and socialize together, yet spread out and have some quiet time too. The house is well decorated and located in a very nice neighborhood.

Laura was very responsive and clear in communication. We look forward to our next stay!"
668873,2203000,2012-09-04,3402778,Chantal,"Lindsay & Ras are very friendly & reliable hosts. The apartment is very clean and in a prime location. Nice, homey decor through out. The grounds are well maintained and makes for a comfortable break outside.  We had zero issue with noise & there was a bachelorette party of 11 right next door! The apartment has everything you'll need for a fun vacation in the city. "
668873,2816872,2012-11-05,3912184,Jason,Lindsay was great and very accommodating. Her property was extremely clean and well maintained. My wife really appreciated the small touches that really made our stay comfortable and pleasant! Great location and wonderful communication. A day after leaving we booked again for a return visit! Thanks again! 
668873,3534491,2013-02-13,705896,Ruk,"Lindsay was very helpful, arranged for us to get into the apartment without any problems and was very prompt in all her communications with us which immediately put us at ease. We LOVED the place. Great layout, lots of space in all the rooms and we loved having lots of space in the living area for everyone to relax. The furniture is unique and adds a lot of character but we couldn't stop talking about how comfortable the beds were and how soft the sheets were! We walked to almost everything, about 10 min to everything on South Congress, 5 min to the Whip Inn where they have great music and drinks. Overall this is the perfect place if you like staying in a quiet, leafy neighborhood and are willing to take a short walk to everything else you want to do. "
668873,3679982,2013-03-03,5188350,Jennifer,Lindsay was awesome and the place is perfect. Very clean and cozy. Would definitely use again!!
668873,3832639,2013-03-19,3942772,Marc,A really great place for a group of people. It served me and my friends perfectly during SxSW. It was a good location as it allowed us to experience south congress which could be easily missed if you were staying in the city; it's a very cool part of town! Lindsay responded to our every query and made out stay great.
668873,4252035,2013-04-22,2326037,Andy,"Great neighborhood, gorgeous place, comfortable stay, very accommodating host! Will love to visit again soon.

Our stay started with amazing flexibility in helping us meet at our arrival time. They allowed us to welcome another last minute out of town guest that made our stay complete. Check out was a breeze and accommodating to our schedule. We had such a great time in our trip that didn't even feel like leaving out for the night, just felt like a comfortable place to relax.

THANKS!!!"
668873,4344418,2013-04-29,5722783,Jason,"We both RECOMMEND and plan to stay at this lovely accommodation again!

Location, location, location:  Easy access to/from I-35, 71 (Ben White), downtown Austin and adjacent to SoCo (S. Congress Avenue).  The property has a very comfortable, airy feel nestled up among the trees.  With its private entrance from the parking area off the alley behind the main house, the space welcomes you up the stairs above the separate garage.

We enjoyed the spacious combined kitchen/dining/living area with its comfortable & stylish seating, WiFi for our tech needs, and conveniences for our morning coffee and evening beer & wine enjoyment.  Climate control -- with the A/C and remote controlled fans in both bedrooms as well as the living area -- was a snap.  While not overly large with a single sink vanity, the bathroom is pleasant and well equipped with an oversized, benched shower.  Bath and bed linens are included.

The bedrooms are virtually identical in layout and furnishings, again echoing the airy space with natural light being generous from upper windows on two walls.  If you wish the nighttime and morning light to be quite muted however, you may pull the grommeted curtains closed to cover the windows in the living area as well as both bedrooms.  Bed linens are of good quality and pillows are generous, with two euro, two regular, and two accent pillows per bed.  Closets are spacious.

Kudos to Lindsay & Ras on this wonderful property and for being attentive, accommodating hosts.  We arranged for both late arrival and late departure, which really facilitated our needs and made our stay that much more convenient and delightful!"
668873,4706367,2013-05-21,2724104,Matt,"Our stay was great at the SOCO 2 bedroom in Travis Heights, the apartment had everything we needed and we felt right at home.  Lindsay made us feel welcome from the beginning and was a very thoughtful hostess.  Comfortable, clean, safe, quiet and close to everything cool in South Austin.  This was a great place for my wife and I (and my in-laws) to enjoy a long weekend in Austin."
668873,5474914,2013-07-01,7077260,Theresa,"This place is in a great location. It was just a couple of minutes by car to South Congress where there are lots of places to eat and some ""different"" places to shop...near 6th St. too.  I say different because it wasn't probably the things I would shop for, but I guess this is part of what keeps Austin weird!  Lindsay's place is also very clean and comfortable, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. The beds and linens were great quality and we slept like babies. This is my first time as an Airbnb user so I was very hesitant to use the site at first because we didn't want to stay in someone's everyday house with all of their stuff.  This place is a true ""rental"" which is what we were looking for. I did tons of research and read hundreds of reviews before making a reservation. My hubby and I were pleased and so was the other couple who went with us! There were a few little hiccups in the reservation process at first.  The price that was quoted ($190 per night plus $46 for Airbnb fee with cleaning included) when I entered the dates for the place was not the price that showed up when Lindsay agreed to let us book...her original offer ($524) was $100 more for the weekend. When asked about it, she didn't know exactly why the price came up to that so she went in and made a second booking price offer ($448) which was still more than what was listed when viewing her place on the site.  After my third message to her, she did get the price to be exactly what we were seeing on the site ($426). I'm still not exactly sure how the original offer wasn't a reflection of the price showing on the site, but make sure you check prices when booking just to make sure. We also had to ask for more towels (only 3 were left for 4 people for 2 days). I truly think this was just an honest mistake that probably doesn't happen often at all. When I messaged about it, we received a call very quickly, and towels were brought to us the next morning. It also seems as if the last guest or someone switched some of the wires for the TV and cable around because we couldn't get this to work until my husband checked the cables and realized that they were not plugged in correctly...an easy fix but a little frustrating for a few minutes. Even with these minor occurances, we were super happy to stay at this place. You can rest assured that you will be comfortable when you decide to stay at Lindsay's rental!! Just FYI...we loved eating at Kerbey Lane's, Home Slice Pizza, the Hula Hut, the Crepe food truck on S. Congress and Gourdough's Donuts. There were so many other places that I want to try next time we visit.  "
668873,7442226,2013-09-20,8550760,Yoav,"We stayed at the Travis Heights apartment in order to do some Austin exploring before a wedding in the hill country. The apartment is everything we hoped for: great location (we walked to SoCo), clean, comfortable- we felt right at home...other friends staying in Austin would come hang out with us because this place was so great.
Lindsay the host was awesome, we needed an extra bed and she had an additional inflatable mattress brought to us in no time, she was also available to questions when we needed her.
All in all, a great stay and a great experience."
668873,8080109,2013-10-15,7826283,Layne,"AWESOME location! The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We definitely recommend and would stay here again!"

Apartment was well decorated and included everything we needed for a great weekend trip to Austin. Easy and cheap cab ride to downtown and many other attractions in the area. Will definitely stay there again in the future. Great for a family or small group of friends.
668873,11859855,2014-04-17,3357899,Carl,"The two bedroom, second floor apartment was meticulously clean & spacious and the accommodations were as advertised.  We would highly recommend it for anyone visiting friends or family in the SoCo area."
668873,20891247,2014-10-07,13111799,Shachi,"The pictures do not do Lindsay's place justice! The couches are as comfy as clouds, and the beds were amazing. Everything was well stocked and super clean. 

One note: if you are a light sleeper, you may want to bring sleep eye masks since the window coverings aren't super heavy - a LOT of light comes in the room in the mornings. 

Overall a fantastic stay! I would recommend her place to anyone coming to Austin!"
668873,21403165,2014-10-16,12701531,Daniel,"If you are traveling to Austin I highly recommend staying at Lindsay's place. I have stayed in many air bnb's and these were some of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on. The apartment was really large, had great kitchen and everything you would need. Travis heights is the perfect neighborhood, with super cool houses but close enough to all the action to either walk or take cheap uber ride. If we are back we will def stay again. "
668873,22593971,2014-11-10,2135142,Alison,"My friends and I had a fantastic stay at this property! The location is perfect walking distance to SoCo and enabled easy access to the rest of Austin. The apartment was cozy and clean, providing us all the appliances that we needed! Plus, the beds were SO comfortable! Lindsay was very helpful in providing us with instructions to the place and ensuring that we were all set prior to arrival. I will definitely stay here again the next time I drive down to Austin!

We are a family of four with two teenagers and we were super comfortable there. We really liked the little porch -- great for watching sunsets. The Travis Heights neighborhood is nice and quiet but a short walk to SoCo (coffee at Jo's!). Lindsay was flexible about our checkout time, which was really helpful. I would definitely stay here again."

Check in and out were super easy!  Lindsay was available for all questions and the  photographs of the space were accurate.  The apartment was a beautiful, clean, cozy space that was perfect for exploring Austin as a family and the neighborhood was great for walking to South Congress area.  I highly recommend Lindsay's space and would love to stay here again!"

668873,31529703,2015-05-06,910683,Tyra,"This is by far the most adorable, cozy, nicest Airbnb place that my friend and I had ever stayed at... Located in the beautiful Travis Heights neighborhood, which I must admit I explored just to get a peak at the amazing Austin architecture. The house is exactly as pictured with the most comfortable beds and the sweetest decor, really the attention to detail is spot on. The apartment came equipped with everything we could possibly need, along with a few extra. And not to be outdone our host Lindsay (along with the fabulous Christina and Priscilla) went above and beyond and answered any concern that we had. These ladies rock! I can't wait for my next trip to Austin, and I will most definitely be staying here."
668873,32012774,2015-05-12,3271236,Charity & Carlos,"We spent Mother's Day weekend here with my Mother in law. It was just what we needed for a relaxed weekend. She loved the balcony porch, and enjoying breakfast in the trees. The size of the apartment was really great for relaxation and privacy. We have been to Austin many times and this was our first to this area of town. We were very pleased with Travis Heights, it is such a beautiful neighborhood for peaceful daily walks, and for running hills. And we were pleasantly surprised with how close we were to SoCo and the abundance or restaurants and interesting things to do. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. "
668873,32684412,2015-05-20,27555960,Laura,"We had such a great time staying at Travis Heights! The location was excellent, very close walking distance to South Congress and centrally located. The apartment was very fresh and organized and tastefully decorated. Our group consisted of two couples and it was more than enough space for us. We really liked using the backyard for relaxing and would highly recommend this space to anyone travelling to Austin. "

It was so easy to get anywhere from the apartment.  The location could not have been better.  And the neighborhood is adorable and feels very safe.  We loved it!!"
668873,37022413,2015-07-03,2921694,Kevin,"This apartment was such home base for our trip through Austin. The space is huge, well-lit and well decorated. Neighborhood is quiet and gorgeous. "

668873,41110507,2015-08-04,950041,Caitlin,"Our stay in Austin was fabulous! We were a group of 4 & the 2 bedrooms were perfectly sized if you're willing to share. The living room is cozy & a great place to escape the heat. Just an FYI that this apartment is used solely as a vacation rental, so if you're looking for an experience with more local flair, you may want to look elsewhere. That being said, the spot was clean & well furnished, and the property manager was fantastic to work with. The neighborhood is very nice, though it is definitely suburban-- You can walk about 20 minutes to the bars & restaurants of South Congress, but you'll need a car to get around otherwise (which is not unusual in Austin). Overall we had an amazing stay & I can't wait to return to this great city!"
668873,42069499,2015-08-10,728772,Sara,"Great location near 1-35, 6th Street, and Commerce--with a bonus of dedicated private parking!  Really good space, very clean with all basics provided.  We enjoyed our stay for a girls weekend/tubing trip to the Austin area.  "
668873,43150822,2015-08-17,39079514,Kayla,Lindsay's apartment was everything we needed (and more) to make a bachelorette weekend successful! It was centrally located and we never had to drive longer than 5 minutes to our destination. We also wanted an early check in (4 hours earlier to be exact). Lindsay did a wonderful job accommodating this by allowing us to drop our stuff off and check in as soon as the apartment was ready. I will definitely be coming back for another visit! Thanks for the amazing stay!! 
668873,43834729,2015-08-22,40602746,Laura,Thank you Lindsey our stay was a pleasant one!  This apartment was a great find for a co-worker and me who was in town for a Keller Williams Conference at the Convention center.  We weren't familiar with the Travis Heights area but surprisingly found out how close we were to everything once we got there.  It is a nice area and our drive to and from the CC as well as some great restaurants and entertainment was only a few minutes away.   The apartment was clean and comfy!  
668873,45167444,2015-08-31,41646357,Nicholas,"We had a great experience.  The apartment was comfortable, good sized for the 3 of us and in an awesome location.  "
668873,46820464,2015-09-13,7483953,Laura,This house was in a great location and perfect for my family. In the mornings we took nice walks through the neighborhood and made our way to South Congress. I would definitely recommend staying here anytime you come to Austin. You can't beat the location or price for 2 bedrooms!
668873,48681646,2015-09-28,22866950,Natalia,"Lindsay was super nice asking questions on time. The house was perfect for me, my friend and our three kids. Beautiful furnitured. We both enjoyed our stay"
668873,49384525,2015-10-03,8511676,Mayur,Really nice apartment. Nice beds and shower. 
668873,50739168,2015-10-14,28449674,Meghan,The apartment was lovely! We really enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The entire process was easy. Thank you Lindsay!
6269805,32283894,2015-05-16,2976885,Randy,"We were a little apprehensive about trying AirBnB again. Our previous experience had left us stranded without a place to stay. Tony gave us the confidence to try again and we were rewarded. 
Tony communicated regularly leading up to our visit and checked in shortly after our arrival to confirm all was going well. Tony’s house manual had everything I think we needed to know for our visit.
We were welcomed with a layout of welcoming layout of snacks and drink. The loft exceeded our expectations. The location was awesome. There are plenty of places to eat and drink within a couple of blocks of his loft. The view from the balcony was fantastic. We were very relaxed sitting there and enjoying the view of a city below. 
Though our stay was not as long as we would have liked, we will certainly try to come again. 
Having Tony as a host made us comfortable enough to believe that this is a way to visit a city.
"
6269805,32416802,2015-05-17,11929392,Bonnie,"My fiancé and I came for an overnight trip to Austin. Tony was probably the best host I have had since using Airbnb. He was very interactive and he kept me up to date with everything. The apartment is in a perfect location downtown and we could either walk everywhere or use an Uber to get around town. There were even bikes provided, although we didn't get an opportunity to use them. Tony made us feel welcome and he even had coffee, snacks, and a bottle of wine for us to drink :) We visit Austin often and would definitely like to  stay there again if we get the opportunity."
6269805,32862728,2015-05-22,13481838,Lauren,"Staying at Tony's place was wonderful, one of my best experiences with Airbnb. My flight in was delayed and he was still available at 2:00AM to help me access his apartment and was so kind about it. His place was just as described, if not better. I walked in and there was a tray of coffee, a wine bottle and opener, a bag of popcorn, jolly ranchers, and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash which i was not expecting. His place was beautiful, clean, well kept, and in a perfect location, right downtown but still in a quiet area. Tony also messaged over the course of my stay to make sure everything was going well and to see if I needed any recommendations for things to do and places to eat. I can't say enough wonderful things about him as a host and am so grateful I picked his place. Thanks!"
6269805,32927805,2015-05-23,32996504,Ashley,"The listing was accurate and the directions/instructions were very easy to follow!

He left a complimentary tray with various items to welcome us and was prompt in answering any questions we had. :)"
6269805,33620065,2015-05-30,7079138,Taylor,"This apartment is in a great location in Austin and Tony was a fantastic host. 

The apartment itself is clean and boasts great views over the city. It is placed well amongst restaraunt and downtown Austin. It is a short walk to 6th st, Rainy st, or anything else you would like to do in Austin. It's also very close to the river and great for those that would love to enjoy a river side run. I strongly recommend staying at this beautiful and spacious apartment. "
6269805,34667496,2015-06-10,2863744,Justin,Listing was perfect.  Exactly what we were looking for.  Best location in Austin and a really spectacular view.
6269805,35152092,2015-06-15,34867235,Tera,"The apartment was in an ideal location - we walked everywhere - to 6th Street, the Capitol, to see the bats, great restaurants, and more.  The apartment was open and light, and the patio was a beautiful place to have coffee in the morning and unwind at the end of the day.  Tony provided great details to make the stay easy and comfortable.  "
6269805,35571539,2015-06-20,33596943,May,"I had a great time in Austin attending a conference and exploring the town. Tony's apt was a huge bonus - great location with a great view, easy walking distance to conference venues, restaurants, and bat viewing.  The unit is well kept and well stocked, clean and tidy. Well worth it. Thank you!"
6269805,35718652,2015-06-21,34235418,Melanie,The apartment was very clean and comfortable. It was easy to find the key and Tony was available to answer any questions we had. We had a great time in Austin. 
6269805,36225900,2015-06-26,9145747,Jeffrey,"Great communication from Tony; check-in instructions were clear and detailed, even getting in very late at night, there was no problem getting keys and getting into the unit; the property is as-advertised, clean, well-appointed and very livable...was a perfect alternative to a business hotel."
6269805,36495034,2015-06-28,24998733,Jerry,Host answered questions promptly concerning access and I had no problems.
6269805,37218269,2015-07-05,4225104,Greg,"We had a great time staying at Tony's over 4th of July weekend. The location is perfect for exploring Austin, and has great views of the city. Checking in was super easy, and Tony was a very responsive host prior to arriving. The building and apartment were exactly as described - we would definitely stay here again! "
6269805,37994052,2015-07-12,15786940,Daniela,"The location is fantastic. We were in walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. We had no problems accessing the condo, the pool was gorgeous, the view from the balcony was beautiful, and Tony was only a text away. The gym, though small, had everything I needed to get a great workout in. It is the perfect condo for 2 people. We had a group of 4 and that was pushing it a little. I had  the luck of drawing the sleeper sofa to sleep on. It was a bit of a torture device. There is an air mattress, but we didn't discover it until we were packing up to leave. I would totally recommend renting this condo, but use the air mattress if there are more than 2 of you! "
6269805,38641491,2015-07-17,24207234,Mitchel,"Absolutely wonderful experience. Tony was great, easy to communicate with and very considerate. The place is awesome. Check in/out was very flexible. Will be booking again when I return to Austin. "
6269805,39123531,2015-07-20,9107599,Paul,Tony's place is in a great location - I was able to walk everywhere.  He is extremely accommodative and responds quickly.  No problems at all.
6269805,40625886,2015-08-01,14289119,Peggy,"Great apartment, perfect location. Lots of kitchen supplies to use. The balcony is a must use because it has great view of Lady Bird Lake. Tony is very responsive and accommodating."
6269805,41268452,2015-08-05,233478,Eric,"Great apartment, location and pool.  Tony was a great host and was always available for questions!"
6269805,42586042,2015-08-14,19741937,Arlo,"Great apartment, close to town lake, a movie theater, coffee shops and some fun bars and restaurants. Clean and as described, I would definitely stay here again."
6269805,43428055,2015-08-19,2829436,Carlos,Great location and place to stay. I especially appreciated the view and access to the pool. I look forward to staying here again on my next trip.
6269805,43640635,2015-08-21,18646672,Jodee,"As a frequent Airbnb user, this condo did not show as it did in pictures.  We also paid a solid cleaning fee and felt the place was not delivered clean.  Tony was incredibly responsive and did try to accommodate us, however, the $60 that we paid for cleaning was clearly not used.  "
6269805,44352702,2015-08-25,221089,Josh,"Tony's apartment is a well-kept, modern refuge from the city, with great views, a lovely pool and gym area, and right in the middle of downtown. Would recommend for anyone who wants to experiment with a hip downtown experience.

Tony was very prompt in responding to our messages."
6269805,45617817,2015-09-04,30770981,Zach,Great stay. Everything was awesome. Fantastic location. 
6269805,46024213,2015-09-07,41963767,Andrew,Tony was very helpful and understanding.  The unit was exactly as described and in the perfect location.  A great experience and I would definitely stay here again. 
6269805,46189234,2015-09-08,40642844,Rocky,"I had a great experience staying at Tony's place. The apartment was beautiful and perfectly located. Tony left out a bottle of wine which was a really nice touch. Also, the pool was a lot of fun!"
6269805,46483602,2015-09-11,32064860,Zach,"Everything clean and as advertised. Tony was very responsive and helpful. 

Perfect downtown location and a better deal than any hotel. Would be happy to stay here again!"
6269805,47311051,2015-09-17,38613787,Ralph,"Awesome spot right in the center of the action. Great location, awesome gym, walking distance to all the cool places. Tony was a fabulous host!"
6269805,47665604,2015-09-21,7456495,Miguel,"Tony was attentive, informative and and friendly.  Booking, settling in and checking out has never been so easy - he even extended the departure time to accommodate our later flight.   True to the listing, the place offers some comfortable and central accommodations, near good restaurants and entertainment.  Great location and view.  The pool and gym, a definite plus. Perfect place to take in Austin for work or play. "
6269805,48152373,2015-09-23,20511736,Thomas,"Great host, place was just as described. Clean, perfect location, great views."
6269805,48552021,2015-09-27,42148377,Sergio,"My first Airbnb experience. Tony was a great host and very responsive.  He left us parking tokens and checked to make sure we arrived ok.  Easy check-in/ out.  Great location, only a few blocks away from 6th street.  Beautiful balcony and pool.  4 of us stayed comfortably - 2 on bed, one on air mattress and one on couch/ couch bed.  Would definitely stay again. "
6269805,49177794,2015-10-01,561403,Cassie,Tony was a fantastic host. We didn't get to meet him but he was so fast to respond and very helpful. The apartment is great. Very modern and exactly as pictures. There are shops and restaurants right at your doorstep! We loved our stay here and would absolutely stay again! 
6269805,49294028,2015-10-02,16920318,Melanie,"Tony was very accommodating to my schedule and I really appreciated the upfront communication. The location is convenient in the downtown area and was perfect for my needs. 

The major disappointment of this Airbnb was the cleanliness. There's a $60 cleaning fee tacked on and the bathroom was particularly grimy (i.e. dirty mirror, shower mold, dust covering fixtures and toilet, etc.). I wish I opted to shell out a little bit more for a hotel."
6269805,49939747,2015-10-07,2763759,Ivan,"The apartment is nice, just as pictured on the photos, very clean and welcoming. Tony had left a bottle of wine for us, which was a pleasant surprise. The location is very convenient – close to downtown restaurants, bars, the convention center, etc.

I wish Tony was a bit more proactive in communicating with us. For example, he had left the key for us in a close-by cafe, but we didn't know the apartment floor and number. So we got the key, but had to wait for his reply before we could actually use it. 

It would have been nice to have some sort of house info sheet once in the apartment. There was no info on Wi-Fi network name and password, so we had to again reach out to Tony. 

Another key thing that wasn't communicated at all was the fact that there are several big construction sites right next to the apartment building, with night shift construction going on! This made for five sleepless nights... and the nicest apartment and location seem pretty grim when you have barely slept for almost a week.

Overall, I would say that ""luxury"" is an overstatement for the current apartment experience. It could definitely get there after the construction in the area is completed and if the host chooses to invest in a better bed (box and mattress) and more proactive communication with the guests."
6269805,50898037,2015-10-15,46105724,Rob,"Tony was a great host and helped navigate access to his unit. The unit was 1 block from my work event so the location cant be beat. Great view, comfortable and quiet. I'll be back..."
6269805,51555560,2015-10-21,6578182,Wendy,We had a wonderful time in Austin.  Tony's place was perfectly located and had everything we needed.  We loved the walkway along the river and all the fun food trucks and coffee shops.  The parking was very convenient and the pool is beautiful.  
6269805,51681468,2015-10-22,21708511,Andrew,"Perfect location, wonderful place. Walking distance to lots of dining and clubs. Great outdoor patio, perfect for relaxing in the evening. "
6269805,51764484,2015-10-24,14554055,Anthony,Tony was very helpful and and all went very smoothly. Tokens were provided for parking and a bottle of wine left for our arrival. The apartment is in a great location and all was as advertised. 
3644045,17247843,2014-08-09,1991877,Lemuel,Sharon was very welcoming; the neighborhood is lovely and the land they're on makes you feel you're away from the city.  I had some confusion about the listing as it was labelled as an entire home but Sharon was very accommodating and made sure my experience was a positive one.
3644045,17666923,2014-08-15,19870428,Sakeeb,Very considerate and accommodating for a last minute booking and late check in. The garden house is amazing and secluded with a comfortable futon and individual A/C.
3644045,18032737,2014-08-20,1597333,Julie,"Sharon and her husband were incredibly accommodating, moving me from room-to-room and even place-to-place due to my severe allergies. Overall, my experience in Austin wouldn’t have been the same without Sharon’s amazing support and interesting dialogues. After all, she has at least 3 degrees and is a successful business woman. I am very appreciative of the entire experience, and would highly recommend others stay with Sharon, especially if you want a chill, laid-back, inexpensive location with warm, caring owners. "
3644045,18678817,2014-08-30,19477944,Tiésha Sadie,"A complete and utter delight!
Sharon is a genuine soul: very informative and willing to provide for her guests. We exchanged tales, shared interests, and quite frankly vibed very nicely.

The garden house was beautiful. Every morning I was greeted by the sun and a view that mirrored that of a fairytale forest. The garden room is apart from the main house and as such, one has to walk through the gravel and upon the paved walkways to use the bathroom/shower. This did not bother me in the slightest but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The kitchen which is also in the main house is accessible throughout the day and night, and it was a nice running into the other guests (who were very pleasant) while we made our morning coffees/teas."
3644045,18778492,2014-08-31,18353137,Tiffany,Sharon was great as always! She made sure I was completely comfortable. 
3644045,19908441,2014-09-20,13323325,Aban,"Sharon was an incredible host!! She was incredibly warm and welcoming, not to mention very informative about the area and hotspots. The neighborhood was beautiful, close to the city yet removed enough to get some much needed R&R. Loved staying here and look forward to doing it again."
3644045,19991037,2014-09-21,21463435,Wesley,"Sharon was awesome! Super friendly and accommodating. The garden room was so cute. Perfect for my friends and my overnight trip to Austin. Also, location was prime. Ten minutes drive to Mozart's, Trader Joe's, and most anywhere downtown. Will stay again!"
3644045,20070413,2014-09-22,20822167,Dov,As always Sharon and her husband were warm and welcoming. She went out of her way to make my fmaily and myself as comfortabel as possible. A++. Thanks Sharon.
3644045,21285150,2014-10-14,3967517,Leanne,"I loved staying in the garden room!!  Private but also with the house super close and amenities all well within reach. This property is beautiful, very relaxing and waking up to the sunshine over the trees was really lovely. Sharon and her husband were so great, super friendly and they made me feel so welcome and made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely recommend this place to stay in Austin, the neighbourhood was beautiful and very safe. The convenience of having the bus stop and supermarket close by was also really handy. I loved this airbnb experience. Thanks for having me!!  "
3644045,21501066,2014-10-18,1727562,Cynthia,"These are gracious folks for sure.  Very warm and inviting.  Totally what you'd expect in Austin.  They showed us around, and took us to this little garden room.  It is very small and is not attached to the house.  It was comfortable this time of year with no AC or heat.  I'm sure all of this is in Sharon's details about her place, but I didn't read very well because I was in a hurry, and then I got in the car to drive from Wimberley to Austin.  This garden house is very tiny, which you can't really tell by the picture. I knew we were only going to be there from 9:30'ish p.m. to 9:30'ish a.m.  the next morning (so nice that they accept one-night bookings), so I wasn't trying to get super comfortable anywhere.  This is perfect if you want a good night's sleep on a good quality futon.  It is quiet.  We only saw one other guest, despite the fact they were fully booked.  This pleasant guest was in the house fixing herself something to eat.  There are chickens, and they don't make anything but slight noises when you're near enough their cage to hear them, AND YOU CAN HAVE FRESH EGGS FOR BREAKFAST THAT YOU FIX YOURSELF.  BONUS!  The coffee was good quality.

Sharon and Peter's place is hard to find at night.  My GPS sent me a different route than my husband's, and we had to call our hosts.  They were very nice, and Peter immediately went outside and stood in the driveway, flagged us down and told us where to park.  Note that it is ""North"" Peak and not South Peak.  We went up to the wrong door.  :( Thankfully, no one answered, but we'd taken our suitcases and we were tired at this point.  The thing is, when people are traveling, they don't always read directions clearly on the fly, and if it's at night, you're at an even bigger disadvantage because mailboxes and house numbers aren't obvious.  If your car is pointing toward Rollingwood and you have to turn left or right, you go straight up the hill, across Rollingwood, BUT TAKE THE DRIVEWAY ON YOUR LEFT.  We also pulled in the wrong driveway here because it was so dark and we couldn't see.    
Overall, if I have to go back to Austin for the night, I'll stay here.  "
3644045,22158353,2014-10-31,12935525,Patrice,"The garden house was absolutely delightful. We woke up to the sun glimmering through the forest canopy, and deer meandering just steps from the front door. Everything in the home was clean, quiet, well equipped, and conveniently located.

Sharon was a lovely and accommodating host, and full of helpful information about the city."
3644045,22318894,2014-11-03,10333675,Tim,Listing holds true. Place worked well for us. Thanks. 
3644045,22939899,2014-11-17,23127327,Lauren,"Great experience! Cozy little one room cabin, as depicted. Futon bed was comfortable enough. Despite cold weather, cabin was toasty warm with help from the space heater. Sharon was nice and accommodating. Recommend."
3644045,22975398,2014-11-18,17053063,Alex,Sharon was a great host! The room was fantastic and had a lovely view in the morning. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and beautiful. I would definitely stay again and she was fun to talk to.
3644045,23027238,2014-11-20,2165286,Amanda,Sharon certainly made me feel welcome. I loved the natural beauty of her home and land. The Garden Room was just the retreat I needed and I was welcomed to use the shower inside as well as enjoy company of other guests and drink delicious tea. Very much enjoyed my time here. 
3644045,23351769,2014-11-29,24173446,Tom,Simple and beautiful. Would absolutely stay there again.  
3644045,23519185,2014-12-02,1390989,Kent,"Such a quiet spot.  The back garden cottage was clean and pleasant, with a big window facing the woods.  We lived our stay in Austin and this space provided a nice place to get away from the hustle of the city."
3644045,23827258,2014-12-11,23682590,Corintha,"Sharon (and Peter) were super nice and hospitable.  They were very helpful with answering any questions we had and showing us what to do around town.  This private garden room was as described, the bathroom and shower are inside the main house.  The neighborhood around them was definitely full of higher-end homes and all seemed very quiet and safe."
3644045,24074572,2014-12-19,22650714,Katie,I loved my time in the garden room- very quiet and serene. It was private and gave me plenty of time to think. Sharon was very helpful and nice to chat with. I will stay here again!
3644045,24246108,2014-12-23,7806038,Janet,"Sharon and her husband were very friendly and tried to get us lots of information about airbnb, both in Austin and in our area...I enjoyed her daughters and the other guests.  We stayed in the entry garden room..and it was comfortable and warm.  I personally could not get Wifi connection in the garden room, although I did have it in the main house."
3644045,24882035,2015-01-03,24747985,Miranda,"Sharon has a warm, welcoming home in the hills of Austin and an adorable garden room that overlooks what seemed to be a creek. While it is a short walk to the house for the use of the loo, we were welcomed in her house and invited to kindle a fire in her living room. The garden room, filled with gentle sunlight, was the perfect get-away while still being accessible to all the fun things to do in Austin."
3644045,26346825,2015-02-09,10564695,Casey,"Our stay in the Garden Room was a nice getaway while we enjoyed the activities Austin has to offer. The location is perfect-- everything we wanted to do wasn't more than 15 or 20 min away. Although we never met Sharon due to our crazy schedule, she was very accommodating and communicated well with us via text. The room is beautiful and open with lots of natural light. The chickens were delightful. "
3644045,27082291,2015-02-24,28078552,Cristina,"Sharon was an amazing host!!! My mother and I truly enjoyed our stay at her home! I wish we weren't in such a hurry; the conversation was great! Very engaging, I almost didn't want to leave the table lol.  Sharon was extremely hospitable and provided us with quite a few suggestions on our short stay.  The garden room was so cute and well kept! However, due to the cold weather we encountered when we arrived, we did not end up staying in the garden room. Sharon was very kind to offer my mother and I a room inside of her home. The room was very comfy and clean and it overlooked the back part of her home which was very relaxing.  Sharon's home is located in a very beautiful area and close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much Sharon! You are amazing and we look forward to seeing you again!"
3644045,27166132,2015-02-27,18450360,Martha,"The photo was nice but deceiving. We didn't realize there would be no bathroom, no running water, no insulation, no room for 3 adults. Perhaps 3 small children but the garden shed is detached from the house, so may not be appropriate. 
We felt that we were mislead by the description. It would be better to tell people exactly what they're getting, and let them make the decision whether they want a toilet, sink and shower or not. "
3644045,27281645,2015-03-01,9055311,Ashley,"Our stay with Sharon was wonderful. We unfortunately did not get to meet but she made sure to keep in touch with me the whole time. Since it was a little chilly she left us some extra blankets and a space heater. She even went above and beyond to offer us a room inside since it was so unusually cold, we didn't mind though! The room is just as described,  outside the main house. You have to go in to use the restroom or kitchen but it is only a few short steps away and available at any time. Sharons house is also located very close to downtown Austin. Only took about 10 minutes to drive in. I also looked up Uber and that is only a $10 ride into downtown from the house. All in all it was a wonderful experience. If you are looking for a unique and relaxing place to stay close to downtown Austin I would highly recommended the garden room!"
3644045,27558286,2015-03-07,19522329,Johnny,"Sharon and her husband are just the greatest!! So sweet and accomodating. The cottage was beautiful. I felt like I was in a cabin in the mountains with the view facing beautiful trees and woods. Everything I wanted was a 10 min drive. Best of both worlds! You would do well to stay here if you like quiet, comfort, and tranquility. "
3644045,27876793,2015-03-14,18208968,Richard,Sharon and Pete were very friendly host and had the perfect tiny house of me. I enjoyed my stay with them. Thank you!
3644045,28080887,2015-03-17,9808857,Clinton,"Sharon was a great host and the Garden House is definitely a unique place to stay. It was great of Sharon to greet me and show me around for a few minutes, even though my arrival was a bit later than expected. As others have mentioned, you'll want to keep in mind that the restroom/shower is very short stroll away from this private room. The description/listing does mention this, though. During my stay (first weekend of SXSW) there were a few other guests to share the facilities with, but this did not present a problem. Water was always nice and hot. Linens for the shower were plentiful, but the few I used were a bit stiff and scratchy. The room itself is as described. I would definitely recommend if for the solo traveler as a couple might find the space a bit small. I do wish the curtains were a bit larger or opaque for a bit more privacy, but the garden room is off on it's own. "
3644045,28461925,2015-03-24,9692169,Noah,"I felt very welcome and was given a tour of the place and information about the neighborhood as soon as I arrived. The have a fridge for you to use and washing machine if you need anything washed. The room was perfect for me. It may not be for everyone, you do have to go inside to use the restroom and if you are a light sleeper, you can hear stuff falling from the tree about the room.

The also have a nice backyard to sit in and read if you want.

3644045,28855271,2015-03-30,1687063,Davede And Dina,"The garden room was as pictured... It was so wonderful to wake up to such a private and beautiful setting. Sharon and Petr were great hosts, and the other guests in the main house were nice company as well. The only problem (that ended up not being a problem) was that I couldn't fully close the door, and there was no way to lock it. Besides that, exactly as pictured and the reviews are accurate. Would definitely stay again."
3644045,29464998,2015-04-07,29297025,Franchesca,"My boyfriend and I had a great time! Sharon was amazing, very helpful and the hospitality was great! It was a small, cozy, very nice lil house and the scenery was beautiful too! I definitely recommend others to stay here if you want something quiet and small/cozy. Very simple and it was just what I was looking for."
3644045,29690539,2015-04-11,9963587,Bethany,"Everything was as described and the place was so magical, cozy, and lovely."
3644045,29933052,2015-04-14,7615736,Andy & Maria,"Very quiet place to spend a night or two.  Sharon and Petr are very welcoming, and try to make guests feel welcome in their home.  The neighborhood is upscale and quiet, outside of the busy parts of Austin.
"
3644045,30179304,2015-04-18,31282009,Brett,"Sharon was a fantastic host. Her hospitality was top notch and she has a beautiful personality. Her property is clean, convenient and gorgeous. We loved our stay. "
3644045,30434370,2015-04-21,28078552,Cristina,"This was my second time visiting with Sharon, Sharon is amazing! Both Sharon and her husband are so welcoming! Her place is in a beautiful and accessible location, would definitely recommend staying here!"
3644045,31083971,2015-05-01,32068191,Taje,"My stay here was more than amazing. The home was lovely, and I didn't meet Sharon but Petr was awesome! So kind and helpful. I wouldn't rather stay anywhere else when I come to Austin again! "
3644045,31277284,2015-05-03,16111345,Stian,"The outside bungalow is perfect if you can stomach crushing a few bugs, Sharon is also really fun and interesting and exactly the right amount of crazy. Eggs from chickens you actually get to meet is a big plus. Pjotr is also a really nice guy once you figure out his deal, all in all a good experience."
3644045,32303033,2015-05-16,33329590,Heather,"Sharon and Pietr were absolutely lovely! My boyfriend and I were driving through and just stayed overnight in their awesome garden room! It's a small cabin that's just a bedroom but was gorgeous - feels very close to nature in many ways! :P It rained and the sound was lovely - made us sleep in a bit even! Very convenient and gave great food recommendation - Magnolia cafe was delicious! Lovely place, lovely people! We'll be back, thank you! :D"
3644045,32361292,2015-05-17,25017190,Caroline,"Sharon is a great hostess and the garden room is very cute and cozy. Sharon was very helpful and provided us with information and suggestions about what to do during our stay in Austin. The garden room is affordable and perfect for outdoorsy people. 

FYI - It can get loud during a thunderstorm (garden room has a metal roof)."
3644045,32668434,2015-05-19,33269753,David,"Sharon was so welcoming, and caring. She was a lovely host and great to converse with. The private cabin was cozy and peaceful. Just the kind of experience one should try when staying in Austin. I felt at home and would definitely stay here again."
3644045,32903989,2015-05-23,17847540,Sara,"Sharon was a really friendly and welcoming host, so it was nice to arrive to a friendly host like her. The room was really cute and tucked away in the garden and the house was in a great area to explore and see the rest of Houston. Thanks Sharon :) "
3644045,33019965,2015-05-24,33001311,Nicole,The listing description was very accurate-- it is a very quiet neighborhood just outside of Austin. Sharon was a lovely host and ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She's very knowledgable of Austin and told us great places to check out. We only stayed for one night but it was exactly what we needed.
3644045,33497281,2015-05-29,5555060,Nicole And James,"We absolutely loved staying in the garden cottage. Sharon is super friendly and sat down with us on our first night to talk about Austin, which was really helpful. The cottage itself was quiet and peaceful and provided a great rest space after exploring the city. We highly recommend booking a stay with Sharon."
3644045,33613444,2015-05-30,33510667,Fred,As advertised.
3644045,34183701,2015-06-05,23163525,Scott,Sharon helped us out by letting us stay at the last minute and for that I am grateful. In terms of the house it felt like an informal hostel- there were a few guests staying but no one was at the front desk to show us where things were and which room was ours so it felt a bit strange. 
3644045,34349438,2015-06-07,34193632,Javier,"To say Sharon was a great host would be an understatement. Sharon provided my brother and I with impeccable accommodations.  The private room was perfectly furnished with great care given to its aesthetics. She created a wonderful environment for us weary travelers, full of nature, comfort, and great conversation. To try to put it simply, Sharon is one of those wonderful human beings, the kind that you remember for years. Sharon is the perfect host."
3644045,34758793,2015-06-11,27976924,Lisa,My stay was very nice. Rustic and sweet. Simple. All I needed. I would come back for sure. 
3644045,35305361,2015-06-17,32164648,Gregory,"This is in a very nice area of town and close to downdown.
Well kept little cabin with air conditioning (needed).

It feels like you are in the country while being near everything.
Close to downtown too.

Sharon is very gracious and a great host and very interesting to visit with; as was the case with other guests too (if you are so inclined).
Yet, it is very private.  

I would recommend her place for sure.  Main house for sure though in the winter.

 I was fine with the whole set-up, but if you do not want to exit your cabin to use the facilities at night then you would likely prefer the house rooms available instead of the cabin.

That said, I liked the privacy of the little cabin and the view into the back woods.  I was comfortable.

A great value.

"
3644045,36322358,2015-06-27,19623207,Sabrina,"We were given clear instructions on access to the house and supplies. The location is not particularly close to attractions, but is fine if you have a car. The bathroom is easily accessible in the house. There is a window ac unit, so temperature was fine."
3644045,36690438,2015-06-30,27701184,Alicia,"While Sharon was away, she was really good at calling me to fill me in on arrival and other house information which made arrival really easy. 

The location was great--close to Austin, but not downtown. It was about a 15 minute car ride or about a $8 uber and even on a weekend, was really easy to commute back and forth to. 

The garden room was nice, especially because of the air conditioning in the Austin Summer--but bring some bug spray if staying during hotter months--my friend and I were feasted upon at night. 

"
3644045,37055290,2015-07-04,29211255,Darryl,Sharon was a great host she provided great details on finding things around the house and the neighborhood. The garden room was very comfortable and clean as described online. 
3644045,37259481,2015-07-05,23004259,Dash,"My girlfriend and I used this rental after a long night of zip lining at lake Travis. We didn't get home until later, but the host Sharon was super nice and stayed up to make sure we had the key. She even gave us a map tour of the city, and let us use the showers inside. Very good experience."
3644045,37407770,2015-07-06,37034448,Edmund,"Sharon was very hospitable and inviting.  She treated me like a friend!  The area was nice, and close to the event.
The cottage was behind her house and it was cool!"
3644045,38064359,2015-07-12,36046836,Lisa A.,I enjoyed my stay at the Private Entry Garden Room. It was serene place to relax. 
3644045,38141561,2015-07-13,34697684,Tim,"The private entry garden room was very comfortable. The instructions were easy to follow. It is within walking distance to the bus stop, which made traveling downtown simple. "
3644045,38361751,2015-07-14,1286885,Zvi,"Everything was as advertised. Sharon was able to accommodate a last minute booking as I ended up staying in town unexpectedly. She was responsive and kind, and provided clear instructions for accessing the space. The space itself was sweet and private, surrounded by lush forest and wildlife. I would definitely stay here again!"
3644045,39296747,2015-07-22,35710733,Matt,"Nice accommodations for a single traveler. Garden Room offered lots of privacy in a very pretty setting. Access to the house for fridge/bathrooms was no problem. Location was close enough to downtown, but far enough away to be removed from the noise/traffic. Would recommend!"
3644045,39849872,2015-07-26,31761754,Lauren,"Comfy stay. Sharon was very welcoming and helpful. Relaxed environment, beautiful backyard space- the cabin was fun and cozy."
3644045,40157240,2015-07-28,38703391,Cavan,"Sharon was great, very friendly and offered some advice about Austin.  The Private entry garden room was fun.  It is small but certainly enough for a couple who are more interested in exploring Austin than sitting in a room. She provided access to the kitchen and bathroom with linens. We were free to come and go as we please and said ""Hi"" to those at the house who were around when we were. Overall a great stay."
3644045,40528338,2015-07-31,25076731,Sonia,"The listing was accurate. My son has lived in Austin the past three years as a college student. He said that the location was awesome and the garden room is a great room space for light travelers. The room was very cozy and secluded -Dillon. 
I liked that there was easy access to the house at all times, thank you Sharon! "
3644045,42005840,2015-08-10,38615420,Anna,Sharon was very kind and knew all about Austin and the cool places to go. The process of checking in was very easy and simple. 
3644045,42603812,2015-08-14,5206489,Xavier,The cabin is very cosy and romantic. Sharon is a great host. She shows you the best places to go in Austin and she's full of interesting stories.
3644045,43388060,2015-08-19,38024894,Raymond,"Lovely host, beautiful home, friendly cohabitants, and gorgeous neighborhood. The cabin is PERFECT and COZY! Excellent accommodations. Will definitely return!"
3644045,43706792,2015-08-21,39484610,Derrik,"This listing is amazing. The cabin is beautiful. 

Sharon is a great host, she knows a bunch of things to do in Austin and was very accommodating when needed some extra time to leave. 

The neighborhood is really nice, a half hour bus to the city center and a pretty reasonable bus to where-ever you want to go."
3644045,44083673,2015-08-23,41754199,Carl,Sharon was a great host... Very informative and the Garden Room was neat clean and comfortable.
3644045,44612658,2015-08-27,31299984,Phillip,"Sharon was a lovely host. She showed me a map of Austin and told me all about where to go and what to see, including an amazing natural spring pool that is only a few minutes from where she lives.

The private garden room was clean, cool, and comfortable, with a glass door that looks over a garden, where I saw two deer stroll through -so that was cool. She made my brief stay in Austin very enjoyable.   "
3644045,45142532,2015-08-31,40733673,Rachel,The place was great! Sharon is super friendly and helpful. She did a great job making us feel at home. 
3644045,45530910,2015-09-03,42801931,Kaitlyn,"Staying with Sharon was awesome! She was very sweet and accommodating. She also knows her stuff when it comes to the city of Austin. She took time to sit down with my boyfriend and me- she  pulled out a map and gave us some history of Austin as well as showed us where the hot spots are. 
We stayed in the garden room and it was a true delight. It's not a frilly room, but is comfortable and perfect for someone looking for a short and peaceful stay. Waking up in the morning was beautiful- sunlight softly streamed in through windows, illuminating a very serene wooded area. A perfect way to start the day. Overall a great experience, and if she wasn't already booked, we would've stayed longer!"
3644045,46154161,2015-09-08,39658046,Keri,"This is a great place to stay if you don't know the Austin area and are just visiting since Sharon will tell you all about the area. She was super nice and helpful. You're very close to South Congress and Zilker Park, so there's tons to do and see in the area. 
There were fresh sheets and pillows in the room. The bathroom was in the house and there were clean towels that you could use. We didn't use the kitchen area but were more than welcome to do so.  Overall a very nice stay. Thankfully she didn't mind our coming back late either (we were in Austin for a tango festival so we got back pretty late on the nights we stayed!)."
3644045,47158371,2015-09-16,9913809,Rachel,"Very nice location, close enough to downtown that it was easy to get to, but far enough away that we didn't feel stuck in the same place. Sharon was very accommodating and helped us with any questions we had. 
The place is beautiful and in a little forest. Doesn't feel like you're in a city at all. "
3644045,47459147,2015-09-19,28219953,Chuck,"The garden room was just as described by my host; terrific & very functional. The neighborhood was very nice, and the city & area very accessible. Sharon was quite accommodating, and I highly recommend staying there."
3644045,47944274,2015-09-21,2045404,Alasdair,Sharon was a superb host. She was very communicative and gave me a great overview on arrival not only of the house and surroundings but also what to do and where to go. She even invited me on a family trip to go rafting. Highly recommended!
3644045,48409326,2015-09-26,26852601,Michael,Sharon is a great host. She was very accommodating with my late check in and the cottage was cozy and had A/C. Great value! She made me feel very welcome and has a great energy. I highly recommend Sharon. 
3644045,49009782,2015-09-30,35852084,Paula,"Sharon gave us a great ""map tour""of Austin so we could make decisions about what to do and where to go.  It was a great space to stay in - lots of lovely nature noises, coffee was offered in the morning, which helped ME get ready for the day!  We had fun talking with her about Austin and other stuff.  This worked well for us, even though we were off exploring and EATING most of the time we were there.  (I gained four pounds on this trip.  Austin is fattening!)  I would definitely stay there again - we felt quite welcome.  "
3644045,49971391,2015-10-08,34860748,Leslie,"Thank you, Sharon for your hospitality.  Taylor and I loved ""camping out"" in your cottage.  Cozy."
3644045,50212115,2015-10-10,5258681,Bryn,"Sharon was super kind and helpful and available and informative. The garden room was lovely and exactly what I needed. Sharon's place is is a quiet neighborhood, and conveniently close to downtown Austin. Would definitely stay with her again."
3644045,50267732,2015-10-11,33404151,Wayne,"Sharon communicated well prior to our arrival and greeted us at check-in with a smile.  Our garden room, more like a quaint bungalow, was clean and ready for us with its own lock and a key.  The neighborhood was very upscale and we felt very safe."
3644045,51600169,2015-10-21,10051830,Joy,"So placid and peaceful, such a lovely experience, both Sharon's warmth and calm, and the sounds at night, such peace. Thank you~"
3644045,51634523,2015-10-22,45021269,Susan,I loved staying in this little cottage in the woods! It felt like the woods anyway. It really is just a cute little cabin in her backyard. It was great feeling away from it all in her naturally landscaped backyard. Sharon is very friendly and gave great suggestions/directions.
5526127,27968954,2015-03-15,16722010,Ryan,"Great location, convenient to South Congress as well as downtown.  Great neighborhood near travis heights, eclectic mix of houses, some new and old.  Mireille was responsive quickly via text, responses to the few questions we had in less than one hour. Clean, recently remodeled duplex with nice appliances, simple but adequate utensils/glasses.  Nice yard, shared front yard with other duplex, private back yard. "
5526127,28060305,2015-03-16,14562727,Lia,Amazing trip! This place was huge and easily accomodated me and my friends. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and walking distance to south congress. Downtown was only a 2.5 mile cab ride from the house. Great ammenities! Would definitely stay here again. 
5526127,28340162,2015-03-22,2799269,Adam,I really enjoyed my experience at Mireille's condo. When I arrived it was super neat and clean meeting all my expectations. I went out to the store after I found out the drawers were filled with cookware. I had just about everything I needed to make quite a few meals. At night the surround area was quite making it very easy to sleep. The house maintained it temp so it was very comfortable. The coded entry was easy to use and quite a convenience. Thank you so much and I would stay here again in a heart beat if I come back into town.
5526127,28829828,2015-03-30,18741768,Benjamin,Very convenient location in South Austin easy Uber drive anywhere.  Definitely enjoyed our stay more than we would in a hotel.  Would definitely stay again.
5526127,29437740,2015-04-07,3588741,Ed,"We really enjoyed our stay and appreciated that Mireille had a nice bottle of wine, some chocolate and flowers waiting for us.  Travis Heights is considered one of the best neighborhoods in Austin, and we agree.  We were only a 10 minute walk to H-E-B and the Catholic church across the street. The unit seemed as if everything was new and the A/C worked fine, ditto the Wifi. Even thought it is a corner lot, there is a lot of setback and we couldn't hear any traffic noise. There are many restaurants about a 15 minute walk, plus a green belt with two parks.  We are glad we ended up staying there and would definitely return."
5526127,29856616,2015-04-13,9705001,Lesley,"We spent 3 nights here in April! It was a great spot in a gorgeous neighbourhood! The apartment was very clean and decorated well.  The kitchen was large and the host left us some wine and chocolate for our arrival.  The beds were very comfortable. We liked the rocking bench in the yard. It was perfect for sipping coffee in the morning! I would definitely recommend this place! Travis Heights is a great place and is easy to get anywhere in the city. We used Uber most of the time and they were at our door usually within 1-3 mins of ordering.  Thanks for hosting us, we had a fantastic long weekend in Austin! "
5526127,30010454,2015-04-15,31098157,Chase,First time using Air Bnb and it was a great experience. I needed a place to stay last minute and found this one and was able to book it immediately. Very nice and clean and well kept. I definitely recommend this place to anyone that is considering it. Not far from downtown at all.
5526127,30115608,2015-04-17,3428976,John,"Solid place to stay, 2 nice bedrooms and a nice living/dining area. Will definitely stay again!"

5526127,30696773,2015-04-26,30017459,Whit,"My family and I stayed the weekend here while in town for a wedding. The location was great-quiet and very close to downtown and South Congress. We were greeted with a clean and updated home with snacks, tea, coffee and a bottle of wine.  Mireille was very accommodating and flexible as well. She is very quick to respond to emails and calls.  I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. "
5526127,30904652,2015-04-28,31545619,Cathy,Great place in an excellent location!  The house is clean and very comfortable and within walking distance or uber rides to all the key spots in town.  Definitely recommend staying!

5526127,31085636,2015-05-01,4720755,Melany,"Nice location, good neighborhood, close to cool shops and restaurants. The duplex was quaint and cute; two bedrooms with beds large enough for two people. There is also a pull-out couch but we did not use it. Mireille had a binder with helpful information and great suggestions on places to go. We'd totally stay here again."
5526127,31238730,2015-05-03,18144574,Kevin,Mireille was quick to communicate information and we arrived with no problems. House was very clean and even had a bottle of wine and some candy left for our group. Enjoyed our stay. 
5526127,31478818,2015-05-05,2223211,Amanda,"Lovely, spacious home in a nice location.   Easy drive to South Congress.  The beds were very comfortable and my sisters and I had everything we needed to feel at home.  "
5526127,31991502,2015-05-12,17066060,Kyle,Mireille's place was awesome. Our flight arrived late on our first day in Austin and the access code Mireille provided made it easy to check in and get settled. The apartment was super clean and very cozy. Mireille had even left a complimentary bottle of wine for us. The location is great. Walkable to South Congress and right next to Curra's Grill (home of amazing avocado margaritas). We couldn't have had a better stay in Austin!
5526127,32292839,2015-05-16,33051662,Aaron,"Great great great location. We got in extremely late to austin; Mireille makes the check in process absolutely fool proof. As a former austin resident, I would absolutely choose this property again. "
5526127,32386031,2015-05-17,2748661,Shamir,Apartment was nicely decorated and very clean.  We enjoyed our experience.  
5526127,32736312,2015-05-20,4010097,Eric,The house was very comfortable and I was able to get in quickly on a tight schedule. I'd definitely come back again!
5526127,33815331,2015-06-01,31907108,Alissa,Mirielle was great and promptly responded to any questions I had. The place was very clean and neat and we had everything we needed. 
5526127,38770361,2015-07-18,21397879,Tucker,"The listing was accurate.  The place is cozy and the price was fantastic.  If you like food, there's plenty to eat within a short distance.  If you like to cook, the kitchen is a little wanting for dishes (like baking dishes, not plates).  I have a feeling that over time, this will change.  The beds were comfortable and the bedding was very nice.  The AC works well and there are fans in each room to keep you comfortable.  If the point of going to TX hadn't been to find and purchase a home, i wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

(We donated a couple things that we needed.)  Overall, it was a great trip and the place was exactly what we needed, where we needed it."
5526127,39935457,2015-07-27,30092017,Reine,"The place was clean, very well equipped and good value for the location. Mireille is a great host. She was very  responsive and accommodating to our needs. We had a car so everything was close and it was great to have the neighborhood pool just down the road. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin.  "
5526127,41005791,2015-08-03,7895035,Hillary,Beautiful place and great location! We had such a relaxing stay! When we had a few questions we got a response right away. Will definitely be recommending the place to any friends coming in from out of town!
5526127,44199078,2015-08-24,2324160,Katy,"We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Mireille's place to anyone traveling to Austin. Location was great, and the house was cute, clean and comfortable. "
5526127,45837068,2015-09-06,41427514,Lani,"Mireille was very helpful and communicative. The place is amazing and spacious and 5-10 min away from soco and downtown. 

1 room has a closet, no mirror and the other one has a mirror with no closet. If you have clothes you need to hang, bring hangers because there aren't any available. Other than that, it does have all basic necessities for survival--- except food. But there is coffee!!!

"
5526127,46759377,2015-09-13,20527254,Eddy,"I would definitely recommend staying here. Mireille made my experience so enjoyable. She pretty much answered every question I could possibly have a week or two in advance.

5 Stars for sure"
5526127,47656466,2015-09-21,38044303,Eric,We both enjoyed Mireille's home in the Austin SOCO neighborhood.  Great location and close to great food and entertainment.  Proximity to I-35 made it easy for us to go to COTA and back.  Cosy place that was perfect for a long weekend.
5526127,49213374,2015-10-02,31663577,Diego,The house is beautiful and it has everything you need in perfect condition. The location is amazing and the host is great and helpful. I will definitely come back and stay again. 
5526127,51127163,2015-10-18,5170510,Lou,"My two brothers and I were in Austin for a first-ever ""brothers' long-weekend retreat."" We wanted someplace convenient and large enough for the three of us. Mireille's duplex and her management of our booking were wonderful. The duplex was exactly as described. The instructions and advance information were clear, accurate and helpful. The neighborhood is one of the most attractive in Austin. No problems. No concerns. "
5526127,51856485,2015-10-24,21649866,Anne,"Appartment is very nice and spacious, all amenities we wanted. Bathroom was great. Communication with Mireille was very smooth, she left some great tips in the appartment. Location is ok, its a 4-6$ uber to the many bars of SoCo."
5526127,52246591,2015-10-27,12245027,Tinsley,"Mireille was a great host! While we didn't meet in person, she was easy to communicate with and gave clear information for our stay. She also provided some great recommendations on places to check out around the neighborhood.

The listing itself was very nice and perfect for our needs.  We spent most of our time out & about, but were able to relax at home when we needed a break. The beds were super comfortable with great pillows & linens."
4012735,37252693,2015-07-05,9058870,Zoë,"The place is great! You can't ask for a better location. We were able to drive everywhere we wanted to go in under ten minutes. If you want to take an Uber downtown, it's only $7. The room is beautiful and the decorations are perfect! "
4012735,38773505,2015-07-18,37492459,Emily,"Kaley was a great hostess - she made us feel very welcome and the spot was nice. It was clean and well-decorated (the paintings around the house are beautiful!). The neighborhood is quaint, residential. We originally thought that it was out of reach of restaurant/retail options, but eventually discovered some great ones in Clarksville that we really enjoyed. Everything was a $10 Uber ride to points around Austin."
6478540,32952003,2015-05-23,2045404,Alasdair,Nathan was very quick to respond and I was stood in his funky pad within about 30 mins of booking. This is a lovely place that Nathan has clearly put a lot of work into to transform into a warm welcoming space. There is a ceiling fan to help keep the room cool which can be supplemented by the ac unit if required.  Super comfy bed. The TV with Netflix and Amazon movies was very welcome. Extremely handily located for Rainey street with all its cool bars and restaurants. Highly recommended place to stay and I hope he has availability for when I return to Austin :)
6478540,33056073,2015-05-24,1714280,Ariel,"Nathan was a great host. He was accommodating, outgoing, communicative and very down to earth. The room was cozy and comfortable and everything was clean and well done. His home is so convenient to everything, which was great. When we return, we will surely try to stay with him! Great first time host! "
6478540,33484497,2015-05-28,33131151,Elizabeth,"The room was very nice and cool, which an air conditioner in one window. Very accurate description. "
6478540,33738761,2015-05-31,21465703,Farid,"Funky Eastside House is a very accurate description of Nathan's property!  The guest room is cozy and the small house has a nice charm to it.  Parking is available on the streets and there seemed to be enough around.  It's also close to many happening things in Austin.  I only saw Nathan when I checked in and talked to him for a bit while he was around, but he was out when I needed to check out so I left the keys on the nightstand and messaged and called him before leaving.  I would recommend it to someone who was looking for a place to stay in the area / near downtown at a good value."
6478540,34346047,2015-06-07,33240163,Tifani,"Nathan is a perfect host! Friendly, great communicator, wonderful recommendations and relaxing atmosphere. The house was exactly as described and in an ideal location. The bed was super comfortable, the shower was delightful.  We were more than pleased! "
6478540,35006396,2015-06-14,7705894,Courtney,"Had such a good experience staying here! Nathan was a super chill host and the room was awesome. Cozy space, great location, perfect for a weekend in Austin! "
6478540,35694841,2015-06-21,19126433,Angela,"The house was very quaint and the room itself was very comfortable and pretty. Nathan was mostly out for the weekend, but was very helpful and accommodating when we did see him."
6478540,36475527,2015-06-28,5209266,Merta,"Nathan greeted us on arrival, and was a super chill host. The bed was so comfortable and the room was as depicted - great for a get away.l
"
6478540,37192080,2015-07-05,21918081,Katye,The neighborhood was awesome! It felt really central to a lot of great things to do around downtown... easy walk down to Lady Bird Lake. The room was very nice and perfect for a place to crash.  Nathan was a great host!
6478540,37990806,2015-07-12,31876043,Stephanie,Nathans  place was awesome. walking distance to Rainey st. And only a 5-7 dollar uber ride to downtown and the surrounding areas. The place looks just like the pictures and has AC which was awesome to come back to after a long day. Nathan is super friendly as well!
6478540,38570747,2015-07-16,27335455,Daniel,"Nathan's house was in great location, close to Rainey St bars and other coffee shops. Nathan was a great host and the room was perfect. Would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Austin."
6478540,39283474,2015-07-22,9234147,Marie,Great house in a great neighborhood. It's location is ideal.
6478540,41755350,2015-08-09,23896032,Marie,Great room and perfect location in Austin!
6478540,42977888,2015-08-16,41002301,Stephanie,We had a great time in Austin! Nathan was really nice and the room was great! Close to many restaurants and activities. 
6478540,43975669,2015-08-23,38614193,Emily,"Our stay with Nathan was great! He was more than accommodating, and the room was exactly as described. The comfy bed and a/c were great to come back to after wandering around. It was a convenient location, and a short uber ride to almost anywhere we wanted to go. "
6478540,44551085,2015-08-27,31112012,Kelly,"Check in was very smooth considering our late arrival after driving all day. The house is lacking in curb appeal but the inside is cozy and the room even had a TV in it! The location was perfect, a $5 uber to anywhere we needed to go. Thank you Nathan for a great stay! "
6478540,44957945,2015-08-30,3389554,Anais,"La chambre est conforme à la photo (mais toujours mieux sur le site!) et les draps étaient propres et les serviettes aussi. Nathan a répondu assez vite à toutes nos questions avant d'arriver. Le wifi marchait et il a été facile de se garer devant chez lui.
Pour autant, habituée du systeme de location chez l'habitant,  cela ne restera pas notre meilleur souvenir, car l'air conditionné était très trés bruyant (dommage quand c'est nécessaire la nuit), la télé ne marchait pas (ou nous n'avons pas réussi a la faire fonctionner) et surtout, une fête s'est improvisée dans la maison de nathan ce qui nous a mis assez mal a l'aise. La maison est penchée et le lit aussi (pieds plus haut que la tête) ce qui procure des nausées pendant la nuit.
Nathan est sympathique mais nous ne nous sommes pas sentis les bienvenu lors de notre passage. Ces remarques lui ont été communiquées via AirBnb et je suis sure qu'il fera son possible pour modifier ce qui peut l'être.
Pour moi la chambre est trop chère pour l'emplacement et le service. "
6478540,45836082,2015-09-06,6381010,Thibaut,"We Spent really a great Time in Nathan's place. The bedroom is well decorated, the neighborhood is great located, so close from all point of interests.
We just see Nathan when we arrived ( lot of work for him , lot of visits and things for us ;) ), but the communication by mail with him was so simple.
I recommended Nathan's place if you're coming to Austin."
6478540,46732717,2015-09-13,39912436,John,Had a blast of a visit to Austin greatly enjoying the accommodations. I felt right at home...except for the bed. I think it might be time I get myself a new mattress; yours was extremely comfortable!
6478540,47737942,2015-09-21,13184115,Heather,"Nathan and the city of Austin were great! He was a wonderful host.  The room was cozy and he had it all set up perfectly when we arrived, with the AC on and cooling the room for us, towels, a smart TV playing music, and a list prepared of places to eat and check out plus of course the internet ID and pw. Great location to get anywhere - nice walk over to Rainey St. at night even if sometimes the sidewalks were a bit of an obstacle.

Description & pictures are accurate (except no plant in the room, but a guy can redecorate =P)! Also, he has goats for neighbors, who were super cute & not loud at all.  We only heard them when we were outside the house. "
6478540,48190926,2015-09-24,2708008,Arianna,"We had a nice time at Nathan's house.  Although we spent most of our days exploring Austin, our room was cool and comfortable through out our stay.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood and within 5-15 minute walking distance of coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.  We took Nathan's recommendations about a local coffee shop and a great dinner spot, Qui.  We didn't have a car but we were able to walk to most places and the airport was a 15 minute cab ride.  Great location and host - if we return to Austin, we'd plan on staying at Nathan's again."
6478540,48530524,2015-09-27,3246035,Myranda,Very comfortable room and bed! Nathan worked with us with late check in and had all the essentials. Thank you for having us! 
6478540,49262969,2015-10-02,26024832,Stephanie,"My fiancée & I loved Austin & we had a great stay with Nathan. The room & house are exactly as pictured and the bed is super comfortable! The room was large enough for 2 people & included aircon, ceiling fan, Netflix & wifi. Everything was clean & tidy. Nathan & his girlfriend were friendly & good to chat to. There is everything in the kitchen although we mostly ate out, there are lots of good restaurants to try. The house is about a $5 uber to downtown. Would definitely stay again & recommend to others.  "
6478540,51008072,2015-10-17,617702,Suzy,"We stayed only one night at Nathan's place our last night in Austin which we enjoyed a lot.
The house is really well located, walking distance to E 6th St and a lot of great coffee and bar places. The airport is only a 15 minute ride. The room and the bed are really confortable and a good size. Thanks a lot again, to let us check-in earlier!"
6478540,52394647,2015-10-29,27359322,Rikki,"Great house in a nice location. The house is cozy and definitely has its charm. Safe neighborhood and close to everything, especially with a car. Nathan was helpful and kind, and great to chat with. Was a great stay and a nice part of our trip to Austin. "
6478540,52711058,2015-11-01,44708838,Michaela,"We highly enjoyed our stay in Nathan's home! It was in an excellent location - there were tons of excellent bars and restaurants within walking distance. Rainey Street has a very cool vibe, since most of the bars there were originally single-family homes. Now they have a hipster vibe, incredible beer and cider lists, many of which are made in Texas. It took us maybe five minutes to walk there. 

Going further down the street, we were able to get to downtown easily as well. Nathan had a great list of recommendations of things to do in the area, not only in Austin, but also in San Antonio. He  was also able to give us ideas of the best things to do considering that it was Halloween weekend. We ended up going to 6th Street and spent a few hours just walking around and seeing costumes. Let me tell you, Austin does Halloween big! 

We also walked just past downtown to see all the bats fly out from the Congress street bridge at dusk. Neither of us had seen anything like it before, and it was cool to stand there with so many other strangers appreciating something so awe-inspiring.

We also highly recommend checking out EastSide, the neighborhood directly surrounding Nathan's home. Based on reviews I had read online, it seems like a place which travelers don't fully appreciate. There are lots of good restaurants very close. Also, for anyone who is worried about safety, we never had any concern. We felt extremely secure, even coming back from the bars late at night. EastSide has a more authentic Austin feel.

As for the house itself, the bed was super comfy, and the towels were soft, two little extras which go a long way in making us feel at home! We recommend turning on the fan at night, though. Even in late October/early November, we woke up sweating the first night when we neglected to turn it on. Once the fan was on, though, we were extremely comfortable. He also had plenty of outlets in our room, which is an often-overlooked detail and which we appreciated for being able to keep our electronics fully charged. Overall his house was homey. There was plenty of street parking in front, so we didn't have to worry about finding a place to park the rental car. The bathroom was shared, but it was clean and well-kept. We didn't have a chance to use the kitchen because the food in Austin is amazing, but we were able to keep some leftovers in the fridge. 

We arrived about 5 pm on a Friday, and Nathan made arrangements with us to get into his home right away. We felt free to come and go with ease, and we also felt free to hang out and read or watch movies. 

Overall, if you're thinking about staying with Nathan, you definitely should do it. You will not regret your decision!

Thanks Nathan, for such a great stay!

356521,1007756,2012-03-17,1771961,Laura,"I liked the burrito truck, and the organic coffee cafe. Cole kept all my questions answered. I liked being off of the beaten path or grid during sxsw. Nice and clean and windswept. I would stay here again."
356521,2364804,2012-09-21,3510707,Jeremy,"Super nice people, and a nice reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city.  "
356521,3252372,2013-01-03,4273761,Jesse,I can say that my trip down here was very good the overall area had a good outdoors area along with it being eco so I was happy to stay there it was quite wonderful with some of the things they used in their place to help nature and not damage it I would say that Coleman was a very good host all in all this was a good place.
356521,4376327,2013-05-01,5180635,Sally,"Staying at colemans was such a lovely experience. It was so much more than we ever thought. The setting was just gorgeous, and the room and house was really homely. We met some great fellow travellers which made the whole time really fun. I would definitely stay again.

Sally and Alex"
356521,5123599,2013-06-13,585271,Leticia,My stay at Nora's room was fabulous and serene. Thanks Coleman for your hospitality and for your lovely mosquitos. :-)
356521,7926225,2013-10-08,4836187,Peter,I was there primarily for the ACL music festival so my focus would be different than most - I was just interested in the basics..... Colemans place definately supplied this and more as it was truly an authentic Austintonian experience. My only regret was that I didnt have more time to hang at his place and enjoy trading travel/life stories with this great host and other guests -youll feel right at home instantaneously.
356521,10845877,2014-03-10,1628694,Rob,"Coleman's place was exactly as promised: an Eco-friendly retreat very close to downtown. Simple, but peaceful and full of good spirit. Gracious host who attracts cool people, so if you're looking to an alternative stay, definitely consider it"
356521,12140234,2014-04-23,14403718,Bella,"My stay at Nora's Room was exactly what I needed at that point in time. It's no-frills, so if you require pampering, this isn't the place. If, however, your soul craves rest, rejuvenation and peace, then this is the place to be. The experience of being in a densely populated city, yet enjoying solitude and nature as if no one were around for miles, is phenomenal. When I arrived, I was tense, constricted and totally stressed. When I left, I could breathe again and felt at ease. My room was clean and comfortable and homey. It felt like being a summer camp, with all the sounds of nature lulling me to sleep at night. The bus stop is a short walk away and easily accessible. There are restaurants within walking distance (Chili's, Macaroni Grill, Chipotle, Jimmy John's), as well as grocery stores and a CVS Pharmacy. "
356521,19109933,2014-09-06,20019962,Justin,The place is secluded and like an oasis in South Austin.  It worked well for me.  Cole was not there but was easily reached by text.   When I was there I got to meet several travelers and enjoyed the serene environment.  We lost power one night due to a cloudy and rainy day but that is what living off the grid is about!  Enjoyed my stay and would do it again. 
356521,22053978,2014-10-28,19309303,Sherrill,"The house and room were exactly as described. Coleman was immediately responsive by email/text, and offered to be available personally for anything that we needed. Our trip was packed with activities and we didn't have time to take him up on anything beyond sleeping in the room provided, but we appreciated feeling we could ask if we needed anything.  We flew into Austin and did not have a car. We are avid walkers, and between walking and the bus lines we were easily able to get everywhere we wanted to go."
356521,23133490,2014-11-23,15502831,Laura,"Coleman's Place is inspirational---relaxing, a noise cleanse and a serene place to lay your head. A short course on off-the-grid, conscious living with style… lots of natural light and nature, 3-miles from the heart of Austin. Before I head back overseas, I’ll spend a few days here just to keep my head on straight. Thx.


"
356521,25452026,2015-01-16,21780714,Trevor,"Awesome place and awesome host, no complaints whatsoever. Coleman's place has allowed me to reconnect with nature and unwind. It is a tranquil, eco-friendly retreat, and a true Austin original. "
356521,25672224,2015-01-22,8288908,Kieran,"Coleman was very nice and accommodating. He's also interesting to talk to, so if you get the chance ask him some questions or tell him about yourself.
The house is comfortable, and Coleman made sure to have a fire going the whole time to keep warm. The price was extraordinary for the location and enjoyability.
I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxed host and a comfortable home to stay at for a while. "
356521,25782256,2015-01-25,24173446,Tom,This place is a gem. You will never believe you are in the heart of a major U.S. city. Intentional living at it's best...
356521,26891190,2015-02-21,17940386,Cody,"Coleman (and company) are the rare gems you always hope to come across. I came here to rejuvenate my body and mind and it worked to the utmost degree, thanks to coleman and the vibes of his place. I didn't want to leave. "
356521,27880950,2015-03-14,24673208,Jana,"We loved Coleman's place, it truly is a hidden gem! It is really close to the busy part of Austin, but it is still quiet and close to nature, so you can relax from all the business. 
Coleman was very nice and considerate and we would definitely recommend a stay at his place!"
356521,28085498,2015-03-17,27800414,Alexandra,"I came to Coleman's eco-home from nyc looking for some fresh air and solitude during my time at sxsw. Nora's room was the exact dose of good energy I needed. One morning I woke up to a rooster cocka-doodling right outside my window. Coleman kept his place very clean, and had plenty of extra towels waiting for me right when I got there. He also made a fire every night, I loved the burning wood smell. Getting to downtown was easy enough. The bus was a short walk away, and you could call an uber. A typical cab ride into downtown was about 15-20 bucks. If you stay here it may be just as cheap and convenient to rent a car. I will probably do that for next sx. Overall lovely, lovely place to stay. "
356521,28307950,2015-03-22,24737575,Yvonne,We had a lovely quiet stay at Coleman's. It was so nice to have some peace and quiet away from the city. Coleman is very accommodating. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a mellow vibe.   
356521,29443819,2015-04-07,5716156,Joel And Robyn,This was a wonderful place to stay and just what we wanted peace and quiet in a nice haven close to the city. Loved using Colemans spin bike in the morning outside in nature. Great place to relax after a day exploring the city. Coleman is super friendly and helped us with any info we needed about Austin while there.
356521,29849854,2015-04-13,18184462,Kalyani,"Coleman was very reachable and flexible that we could drop off our bags before the room was ready.  While I did understand that the property was off-grid, I did not realize that the lights would not work except when there was sunlight. I also did not realize that there was a special plug in the room, that would provide power even when no sunlight was present. It was a little inconvenient in the morning since there were 3 of us that needed to get ready to go for an early business meeting. Good for vacation not for business. "
356521,31923643,2015-05-11,12683531,Ben,"Coleman was very accommodating; my companion and I arrived in Austin quite late and didn't get to Coleman's until 1am. He was up, busy in his al fresco woodworking shop, and got us settled into our room right away. This place is a nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city, but so close to all the great spots in Austin. There is ample parking and plenty of home/land to roam or relax. This is very simple living, so if you're looking for loads of modern amenities, this may not be the place for you. It was certainly the place for us, and we can't wait to visit again."
356521,32802772,2015-05-21,33771318,Joel,"This was a quiet, peaceful experience.  It felt like being out in the country, and yet it's IN Austin. Comfortable bed, adjoining bathroom with shower.  There was one other guest in the house, but we never crossed paths, and it felt as though I had the house to myself. Coleman was accommodating, and made sure I had everything I needed.  A pleasant, restful experience.  "
356521,33043977,2015-05-24,32133420,Kenza,Coleman was very accomodating for the check in and check out . We had a really relaxing night (although our stay was shorter than expected however). This place is definitely unusual but perfect to relax after a long day travelling in a peacefull environment.
356521,47888565,2015-09-21,40336348,Alka,Coleman communicated really well my partner and I. Everything was exactly like it is described in the review. 
356521,49645398,2015-10-05,4836187,Peter,"Love the stress free vibe that embodies Coleman's place. 3 times in Austin and 3 times at his place and the hospitality keeps getting better every time,  need I say more.  "
356521,50573856,2015-10-12,42958628,Mai,"Talk about off the grid. If you know about Austin and what it's about this is a place where you'd love to stay! No AC, solar powered home, recycling, and available appliances for use. Very spacious place!  "
356521,51372594,2015-10-19,41820937,Sam,Great stay here. A little oasis in the city. Cole was extremely welcoming and a great host. If you are looking for a hotel like experience this is not for you. If you want to experience a cool/off the beaten path place to stay with a lot of character check it out!
356521,51985563,2015-10-25,8641029,Haris,"Coleman is a great guy, but I had to leave early due to the limited electricity and issues with mosquitos. "
3499657,20901526,2014-10-07,19699050,Natalie,"Our host was great!  What a nice space!  Reminded me of staying at the Hotel San Jose - concrete floors, clean and clutter free.  Our host left us a nice note and offered his contact information in the case that we had any question.  We loved that he left us coffee and water in the fridge!  The fresh flowers throughout the house were a really nice touch.  Bathrooms stocked and plenty of fresh towels.  Great place, would definitely recommend!"
3499657,21199713,2014-10-13,797522,Renee,"This was the perfect place for us during ACL. The listing description was accurate. We loved all of the little touches like the Mrs. Meyer's products and the toiletries. The walk along the trail to Zilker Park was really nice. And, on the days when we left the festival a little early, we could still hear the music from the great backyard. It doesn't hurt that it's also across the street from tacodeli!"
3499657,22474157,2014-11-07,6457960,Fox,Nice little space near Zilker Park. Taco Deli and small convenience store across that made things convenient. Really friendly host and vey attentive to our needs.
3499657,25240356,2015-01-10,20567617,Kelly,"We had a great time staying at Fair's property.  It's located very close to Zilker and just off of Mopac, so it was very easy to get around town.  Tacodeli is, indeed, quite delicious and just across the street.  The beds were comfy and though it was too cold during our visit, the back deck looked like a great place to hang out.  Highly recommended!"
3499657,28135705,2015-03-18,5629650,Heloise,"Me and my colleagues stayed at Fair’s house during SXSW. The location was perfect for us, only a 10 minute drive to downtown and away from all the SXSW madness. We were all very content with the house, the interior is very nice and the house is very clean. I loved seeing the fresh flowers upon arrival! There is a convenience store across the street and an amazing taco place next to it, which is super convenient. Fair was really helpful and is a great host! If you need a place to stay in Austin, I would definitely recommend this place!"
3499657,50359877,2015-10-11,44960181,Jared,"We rented out the home as it was withing walking distance of Zilker Park/ACL. Everything was as expected if not better. The home was very clean and accurately portrayed in the photos.  Fair (the owner) was easy to communicate with and made my first Air BnB process quite enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this spot!

*It was an added bonus to have Taco Deli and a nice corner store right across the street."
5588295,28155751,2015-03-18,18017757,Jingwen,"Nathan is a great host. I booked his house almost in the last minute, and he prepared a bunch of stuff for us in order to let us have a good stay. He also showed us where to have fun in Austin and kind enough to help us find a parking spot. It's very nice experience to stay in Nathan's house. "
936029,8680822,2013-11-11,9862105,Jeremy,Great place to stay with easy access to the city. Peter was great to deal with and helpful.  I would stay here again.

936029,13830257,2014-06-05,10811516,Mickey,"Peter's place is nice and he is accommodating. Quiet, good air conditioning, comfy place to stay. I tethered my phone for wifi- not sure if there was wifi. Neighborhood is a little rough around the edges just within a block or so if you were a single woman at night, but walk from 6th st if you're walking and it's no problem. Really no problem. Nice cafe and restaurant trucks very close by. Easy to the convention center."
936029,22288637,2014-11-03,5567889,Diana,"Peter was very welcoming, gave recommendations for restaurants and nightlife and came by to see if we needed anything. Location is convenient to everything in downtown Austin. Apartment was well decorated. There were small issues - no way to turn off the ceiling fan (we tried all the functions on the touch pad for a long time) and there were many fruit flies around the sink, we never used the sink and the used cups were there when we arrived so not sure where it came from. "
936029,28727711,2015-03-29,28705556,Derek,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I could not have been more pleased. Peter's apartment was exactly as described, spotless/clean, and in a really great location. 

Most importantly, Peter was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire trip. 

If you're spending some time in Austin and Peter's place is available, don't think twice on booking it!"
936029,29770429,2015-04-12,29772977,Chris,"Great experience, the view is amazing, location perfect. Had to do no driving, so close to everything I wanted to visit/food/Rainey and sixth street. Place was cozy and private, balcony and entrance sealed the deal. Would love to stay here for future Austin trips, thanks again to Peter for being such a gracious and hospitable host."
936029,33263329,2015-05-26,11483130,Andrew,"Peter was a pleasure to organize with and everything went as planned. Check-in was a breeze and the apartment was incredible - couldn't have been more comfortable. The deck outside has a great view of the downtown area.

The area was quiet but not far from the action. It is walking distance to many restaurants, bars and music on 6th street. Getting around was simple and there is a parking spot if you have a car.

The place just felt cool - I recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, fresh, clean and comfortable place to call home base while seeing a really fun city."

1800685,29242002,2015-04-05,1189797,Kate,"I arrived to flowers and wine and bath salts in the bathroom and so I felt at home the minute I walked in the door! The house is one of the charming old Austin style cottages and beautifully decorated with amazing light fixtures, great leather furniture and original art on the walls. (The host, Fran, did several of the paintings). The house has Wi-Fi and an awesome stereo that I connected to my Iphone. There are two large bedrooms, a living room, dining room and beautifully designed kitchen with a deck outside. The bed was incredibly comfortable and one bedroom looks out onto a giant oak tree. The house feels very sunny and spacious but also private.

The location is perfect for downtown Austin and the South Congress shopping area. In the yard next to the house there are two incredible vintage trailers, a beautiful vegetable garden, hammocks and lounge chairs. It was fun to sit outside and the yard would be great for kids. Fran was always accessible, very informative and helpful about things to do and where to eat in Austin. When I come through Austin again this is definitely where I want to stay!"
1800685,29375640,2015-04-06,10799469,Hillary,"Fran made it easy for us to get in and make ourselves comfortable immediately.  We traveled light and had everything we needed in the house.  My family and I had a blast and took Fran's advice about where to go and what to see. We biked and walked everywhere. The bedrooms were better than any hotel.  Beds were so comfortable, everything was meticulously clean.  Fran left some basic foods for us in the kitchen and we did not have to run out and get food immediately.  Staying in this house made our trip to Austin a delight.  This place embodies all the best of what Austin has to offer. We will come back for sure.  Be sure to check out the free pool down the street. It's free and full of interesting Austin characters.
"
1800685,29807780,2015-04-12,3013215,Ardele,"I so enjoyed my stay on this amazing property that resembles a park and is steps from the best part of Austin: South Congress Avenue.   I love to cook and this kitchen was nirvana-- and includes a great speaker system. (Shopping and eating on the nearby streets is fun too!) Having my a.m. coffee outside on the deck was a big perk.  The bed was super comfy.  Great sheets, pillows, bed covers and all were immaculate.  Loved the big red soaking tub... and the light. I will definitely return to this magical place.  "
1800685,40433402,2015-07-31,102901,Ben,"We stayed at Kid Heaven for the month of July. Our three year old was in heaven with the treasure chest of toys, piano, and yard full of toys. Fran had everything in place, left nice instructions for various features of the house, lent us a carseat, and generally provided a very comfortable place to stay. The house itself is very comfortable. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in and we spent a lot of time on that white sofa in the light filled room. The AC works great in the 100+ F Texas summer and the house must be super insulated as we would turn the AC off at night and whenever we left and it stayed cool. The only mystery that we eventually solved was where the disposal switch for the sink was: it is under the sink in case you're looking. Pizza, Indian, good fried chicken, and all of South Congress within walking  distance plus Little Stacy a nice bike ride away....mellow adult heaven as well.
"
1800685,41685130,2015-08-08,10214972,Vincent,Nice kid-friendly cottage in Austin. It's walkable to Big Stacie pool. The backyard is large and rustic. Fran welcomed us with wine and chocolate. At times communication was slow but everything worked smoothly. 
1800685,43201398,2015-08-17,40875217,Jason,"I took my family to Austin for my daughters 8th birthday.  We had initially booked a farm house but were unable to stay there once we arrived.  We were scrambling to find new accommodations and Fran came to the rescue!  He responded immediately to our request and we were booked in a matter of minutes.  

The house is definitely Kid Heaven!  Both of my daughters were so excited to play with all the musical instruments and arts & crafts materials.  When they were done playing inside, they could go outside and jump on the trampoline or swing on the tire swing.  The house is clean and comfortable and Fran has a very eclectic taste in music with  a really neat sound system in the living room. The location of the property is amazing!  You are right in SoCo, with all the restaurants and shopping within walking distance. 

I would definitely recommend this property, especially families with young children.  We'll try to stay here next time we're in Austin."
2316065,10412666,2014-02-17,12192891,Sarah,Lorraine Chammah was a wonderful host. The room was very clean and cozy for our visit. Lorraine made us feel welcomed and helped us in any way she could to make our stay very comfortable.  I would recommend this location to others and would stay there again myself! 
2316065,10861325,2014-03-10,8120271,Tamzin,"Our stay with Lorraine was absolutely lovely. She is a wonderful host, and her place is in a quiet leafy neighbourhood which is only a 20 minute drive from downtown Austin. It was very nice, after the hectic energy of SXSW, to retreat to Lorraine's house and relax. The beds are very comfortable and her two little dogs are so sweet and friendly. Lorraine provides a range of lovely breakfast options, including fresh-laid eggs from her very own hens who live in her garden! We couldn't have asked for a better host, or a nicer place to stay during SXSW. I plan to stay with Lorraine again next time I visit Austin."
2316065,13396753,2014-05-26,205727,Rebeca,"Lorraine was very nice, she made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The room is large, comfy and clean. She has two lovely dogs which are playful and cute. She has chickens so we had fresh eggs for breakfast, since I like eggs a lot it was awesome for me. I would come back any time!"
2316065,20944219,2014-10-08,11363656,Tara,"Lorraine has a lovely home. From the moment we walked in the door to the moment we left it felt like visiting an old friend. Our room was spacious, the neighbourhood was serene. We even took a walk to the local taco place ""Torchy's Tacos"" one night. It was a quick 15min drive to downtown which made it easy to get to see the sights and only 40 mins to Hamilton Pools. Lorraine was a wonderful host and her 2 small dogs were also quite happy to have us visit too.   "
2316065,28180155,2015-03-19,9361777,Michal,"This was our first trip to Austin, Texas and Lorraine provided us with true home experience that helped us to relax after full days of SXSW. She is a wonderful person with plenty of good advice and good stories to tell. We loved staying at her quiet and lovely place with playful dogs and even chickens at the backyard. The house is only 10 to 15 minutes from downtown. We definitely would love to come back. Highly recommended."
2316065,28411345,2015-03-23,27114229,Heidi,Lorraine was a wonderful host! She was so accommodating and knowledgeable about Austin.  We (my sister and I) loved her dogs and her house. Everything was very clean and ready for us when we arrived. I would recommend staying with her if you're ever in ATX!
2316065,28817726,2015-03-30,13589670,Shantanu,"We had a great experience staying over the weekend at Lorraine's house. The house is very pleasant, the location is perfect - awesome views nearby; the room was nice, clean, quiet, and as described. She made us feel so welcome, and provided the best food for breakfast - organic berries, fruits, flavorful bread, and fresh eggs from the chicken in her backyard (along with other food items). With the location and all the amenities, this place is a great value for the price. Thank you Lorraine for making us feel at home. We'd love to come back and stay the next time we visit Austin."
2316065,49656357,2015-10-05,27431280,Steven,"Lorraine was nothing short of fantastic.  Description was accurate - the house was lovely and in a great neighborhood.  We were warmly greeted by Lorraine and offered amenities such as shampoo, body wash, coffee, breakfast, all free of charge.  My friend and I enjoyed spending some time in between our Austin adventures with Lorraine and her two cute dogs.  We even got to feed the chickens!!"
5873295,47730622,2015-09-21,27062849,Bekah,"Hayden was an excellent host, he was quick to respond to any questions I had.  Hayden met us with the keys and gave us some ideas of what to do within the city since it was our first time visiting.  The apartment was in a great location.  It is located in an area that is surrounded by a lot of restaurants or just a short drive away from anything you want to see within the city.  The apartment itself was very homey and clean.  I would definitely stay there again or suggest it to a friend!"
5873295,49739863,2015-10-05,23158352,Katherine,"Hayden was a great host! He responded quickly and made sure everything was in place before our visit, ensuring our parking situation was okay so our car wouldn't get towed. The apartment was clean and very cozy and the location was perfect - walkable to Zilker park and fairly close to downtown. Loved my stay in Austin! "
5873295,50550476,2015-10-12,30534944,Rodney,Hayden's place was incredible. It was very clean and roomy. His communication was excellent. The location was perfect. Many restaurants and bars in walking distance. I definitely recommend his place to anyone traveling to Austin. 
5307177,26900035,2015-02-21,26872037,Jimmy,"This was my 1st Airbnb stay, and it was great. Preston was excellent at communicating everything in a timely manner, and I consider him an extremely reliable person. This is important, considering I had 2 other offers for rooms declined (not a good first impression with Airbnb). Not only was he reliable, but he showed me around the neighborhood, made local recommendations, and even got me a guest pass at the campus gym when the one in the building was closed. He really went above and beyond to make my stay a great one.

Preston is in college at UT, so I wasn't sure what to expect as a business traveller staying in an apartment so close to campus. But the building is brand new, and the place showed no signs of the chaotic college life (as I remember it) except for the assorted iPhone and Macbook power cords, which I found convenient.

The reason I chose this location was to be walking distance to campus, the nearby Blanton and Bullock museums (highly recommended) and downtown, as well as the short uber trips to SoCo - (cost around $5-8 each way). Preston recommended a nearby bike rental place called University Cyclery where I rented a bike as well. The location was perfect. Also walking distance to many great restaurants and food trucks.

To top things off, he even let me stay an extra night when my flight out was cancelled due to a snowstorm in Denver. Thank you Preston - I really enjoyed my stay in Austin."
5307177,27483401,2015-03-05,28512316,Jeronimo,"Great experience, room and neighbourhood right next to UT. Preston was a great host."
5307177,27890606,2015-03-14,13328863,Miguel,"Preston and his roommates were very kind. He walked me through the different parts of the building: GYM, Pool, Parking lot and Lobby. The apartment was clean and had everything as indicated in the description."
5307177,28011459,2015-03-16,5567056,Josh,"Very positive! Clean room with everything I needed, hosts were on time and available when I arrived and accommodating getting me set up. Would book again!"
5307177,28217663,2015-03-20,25784308,Ron,Preston and Alexander were very responsive and we had an easy check in.  
5307177,28316774,2015-03-22,14884268,Duan,"Even though I did not Preston, he made the check-in process very smooth. The apartment was clean and pleasant, and most importantly, its location is great. Highly Recommended."
5307177,28578250,2015-03-26,2559380,John,"Preston and his roommate Henry were great, the apartment was very  clean.  It makes sense Preston is an econ major, he runs his apartment like a business and takes good care of his customers.  I was really impressed and if I'm back in Austin I'll be looking to stay there again.  I highly recommend this listing.  "
5307177,28937702,2015-04-01,27548597,Dale,"This was my first time using Airbnb and it was definitely a positive experience. Preston was very quick to communicate when I was planning my stay. During my stay, he and his roommates were very friendly and easy to get along with. The apartment was clean and not too noisy either. The location is really great for its proximity to campus. There's also plenty of great food options within walking distance so it's very convenient. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Austin!"
5307177,29863782,2015-04-13,12291693,Katie,"My stay with Preston and his roommates was very smooth and easy.  They were around to let me in, even though I arrived late on a Saturday night, and let me keep my luggage in their living room for a couple of additional hours before I left for the airport.

The room was a little small but very clean, perfect for a home-base while you spend your time exploring all that Austin has to offer.  The guys asked me several times a day if there was anything that I needed, and offered up anything in the fridge.  Overall the apartment was air conditioned, tidy, had Wi-Fi, and was clean (by college guy standards).  

I was overall very impressed by their ability to make me feel welcome and comfortable in their home.  I would recommend this apartment to anyone, given that you do not need a ton of space in your room.  Thanks to everyone there for their hospitality!"
5307177,33038077,2015-05-24,33570567,Susmit,"Josh and his friend were awesome! The place is clean, right next to UT and served our purpose perfectly to stay there during graduation weekend. Parking is bit of a pain in the rear since you have to walk back 3 blocks (it rains in Austin often these days) from a public parking location where you pay 5$/night (not multiple-in-out). 

There were clean towels, shampoo, conditioners available with a private bath (not-attached to room). I'll recommend this place if one needs to stay close to UT for a short term."
5307177,34949238,2015-06-14,6012737,Keefe,Great apartment and nice location.  Josh was easy going.

8221372,49672172,2015-10-05,21212114,Amanda,"We had a wonderful time staying here.  The location was great, and Michael was a wonderful host.  The backyard is such a little oasis."
8221372,52184169,2015-10-26,32221626,Robbie,"My friend and I had a great stay experience. Michael and Rissa are very nice hosts. They are super helpful. We also had a great talk too. Their cousin John lived in the other room, and he was also very welcoming. The house was clean, located in a very nice quiet neighborhood, and only a few miles from downtown. The cost of hotels in Austin is very high ($150+ for a 2-star hotel), so Michael's place is a cost effective option as well. Overall, I would strongly recommend Michael's place for visitors to Austin."
8064256,51949432,2015-10-25,1176197,Lillian,"Our stay at Gwen's home was comfortable and just the right fit for us! My boyfriend and I were in Austin for a wedding weekend at a venue nearby. Gwen was super welcoming to us and very gracious about our late-night arrival and our busy wedding schedule. Her home and the rental room were neat, clean, and pleasant. The neighborhood is quiet and tucked back from the main street, but extremely accessible by foot/car to local restaurants and shops. We walked or used quick uber rides to get everywhere. (Bonus: her two dogs were super friendly while also very quiet!) Thanks so much for a happy, convenient, and comfortable stay in Austin, Gwen!"
8064256,52801126,2015-11-01,3643028,Maureen,"Gwen was very friendly and responsive before and during my time at her place. It was exactly as described in the AirBnB posting, and her dogs were adorable! It was my first time in Austin, so the location was great, you could walk to downtown and the river. Highly recommended!"
4351493,21923055,2014-10-26,4633994,Mark,"The greenhouse was great . I would recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin . Much better then a hotel. The place is a great space with a high quality finishes throughout.
The location was also good just $1 bus ride into down town or an $8 cab.
As for the host , these guys couldn't be more accommodating . Very helpful throughout our stay.
Thank you ! "

4351493,24477748,2014-12-29,23769433,Nancy,"Our family of four adults spent a great Christmas week in The Greenhouse.  It had the comforts of home: amenities were plentiful, décor was attractive and comfortable, and the location couldn’t have been better for access to downtown and the river.  Ashley and Adam left a guide to the area, responded well and quickly to our questions during both the rental process and our stay.  Best of all, they even provided us with a tiny Christmas tree!  All four of us give this rental an enthusiastic thumbs-up."
4351493,24840389,2015-01-03,23224542,Dan,"The Greenhouse was everything we thought it would be and more.  The bedrooms were big and have very comfortable beds.  The kitchen was well stocked and great for making a few meals between going out and picking up food.  Although we didn't meet the hosts, they were very responsive before we arrived and very helpful once we were in Austin.  We'd for sure go back!!!!"
4351493,25308411,2015-01-12,22622401,Kathlee,"The Greenhouse made for a fantastic space for my baby shower AND a home for us for the weekend. Adam and Ashley made sure that we felt welcome with chips and salsa, and were always available when we had questions. "
4351493,25512828,2015-01-18,14791231,Chad,"The Greenhouse was spacious and in a good location relative to downtown.  The host had left beer in the fridge, coffee and everything else required for a comfortable stay.  The house included a list of restaurants that they recommended which proved to be very great choices.    My group did not meet the hosts, but everything was set up so that there was no need unless something was wrong.  Lock box key code as well as security system codes, including instructions were sent via email prior to our arrival.  I would highly recommend this rental for your stay in Austin.   "

The house was clean and comfortable- very welcoming. Adam and Ashley thought of everything including extra toiletries, towels and coffee. Their guide to Austin never let us down. Can't wait to visit again!"
4351493,26975652,2015-02-23,7610473,Heather,"Our stay at Adam and Ashley's was absolutely perfect! Their house is just as pictured on the website in an up-and-coming neighborhood. Many great eats within walking distance and everything else in Austin proper was always 14-18mins driving. Pretty excellent!!!

Guidebook was fantastic. They even personalized the welcome page. I totally forgot my toiletries bag as we were on a multi-legged trip. But no worries! They kindly had EVERYTHING for the forgetful traveler ;)

Special touches include chips & salsa upon arrival, prompt responses and clear communication, green-themed (almost) everything and a clean, bright, quiet location.

Thank you A&A. It was a true delight!"
4351493,27318987,2015-03-02,19712239,Cassidy,"Adam and Ashley's place was beautiful. My coworkers and I were working at UT for the week, which was a nice 25-min walk. The house itself is as gorgeous as the pictures; it's clean, minimal without being stark, and comes well-equipped with coffee, toiletries, chips and salsa, and TV apps. Our hosts were very kind and easy to get in touch with. My bedroom had white curtains and was very bright in the mornings, so I used a sleepmask most nights. Otherwise this was the perfect place to spend a week. I would definitely recommend it!"
4351493,27587570,2015-03-08,25857444,James,"We enjoyed our stay at the Greenhouse immensely. The location is fantastic with easy access to everything in town. The house itself is immaculate and well appointed, and the hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating."

It made our first ever trip to Austin very easy and memorable. Very good kitchen if you want to enjoy a nice home made breakfast at home.  A nice touch from the host was a bag of chips and salsa for us to enjoy."

4351493,28706111,2015-03-29,26904953,Heather,"We couldn't have asked for better hosts and a better place to stay while visiting Austin this past weekend. The place looks exactly like the photos, so CUTE! We went for a girls weekend and the setup was perfect. Adam and Ashley were so helpful the entire time. They communicated with us with all the information we needed to know about the house and even gave us suggestions on fun things to do around town. What really set them apart was helping coordinate a gift that was sent to the house upon our arrival. It was so nice of them to have helped with that. The house was located in a cute neighborhood and the outside table was perfect to enjoy the beautiful weather. Overall it was an amazing trip and I would 100% recommend staying here!"
4351493,29008651,2015-04-02,29315596,Anthony,We loved The Greenhouse!   The host were super accommodating!!   The house was beautiful and super clean!!!   I would absolutely stay there again!!!!
4351493,29176367,2015-04-05,27547938,Kristen,"This was our first time booking through Airbnb so we were a little apprehensive - turned out to be a great experience. Ashley was very welcoming and responsive, the house was spotless, comfortable, and spacious, and we loved the location - very easy to get to all the places and people we wanted to visit. We would definitely come back!"
4351493,29600205,2015-04-10,26254416,Chrissy,"Simply perfect!  We fell in love with the pictures of The Greenhouse, but the reality was so much sweeter.  What a gem and perfect for our family of 4.  Every detail was considered - kitchen needs, extras in the bathroom you might have forgotten to pack.  It's a fantastic location -- minutes drive from downtown but the Eastside was so full of places to go and eat we almost didn't want to leave.  And Ashley was available to answer any question - from restaurant recs to where to go to run off the latest meal. Wish we could stay longer!"
4351493,29829789,2015-04-13,8946287,Emily,"This house was perfect for my group of friends and me! Plenty of space, and very clean. Adam and Ashley were perfect hosts!"
4351493,30288008,2015-04-20,627907,Luke,The Greenhouse is a beautiful home and we were all very impressed with the thought and care that Ashley and Adam put in to make us feel welcome...even down to the personalized brochure that greeted us when we entered.  The neighborhood is very nice and in a great location. Highly recommended.  
4351493,30676288,2015-04-26,28398318,Lauren,The Greenhouse exceeded all of our expectations! Adam and Ashley made it so welcoming by already thinking of everything and making it easy to just show up and begin enjoying our time in Austin!  The house  is just as cute as the pictures suggest and it was only a short Uber from the Food and Wine Festival downtown.  We will definitely be looking to stay here again next year!
4351493,30913872,2015-04-28,4341464,Mohammad,"Adam And Ashley's place was beautiful. I will some up my experience with this: I was taking my parents on a trip to Austin, my dad never tried AirBnB before so he was very reluctant. This experience turned his opinion from ""are you sure we shouldn't just book a hotel"" to ""this is a million times better than a hotel"" :)"
4351493,31185609,2015-05-03,28340707,Kyle,"By far, the best out of town accommodation experience I've had to date. Ashley and Adam were beyond hospitable and professional. The home was immaculate, and well appointed. We will be staying here on every trip to Austin. "
4351493,31477783,2015-05-05,6002866,Erin,Adam and Ashley's place was beyond what was pictures - charming and very welcoming. Thanks for making us so comfortable and giving THOROUGH suggestions to explore Austin. The house was an inspiring place to come home to! Wish we could have stayed longer.
4351493,31568173,2015-05-07,25669630,Tony,"The Greenhouse was perfect for our family of four. Plenty of room, very comfortable beds and all the comforts of home.
Adam & Ashley have thought of everything in setting up this house and we couldn't have been happier on our short stay.
The house is in a great location and it was very easy to get to all the sights of Austin from here. 
We can't wait to come back and spend some more time in Austin and we'll definitely be back to The Greenhouse.
"
4351493,32112292,2015-05-14,4342786,Rebecca,"Adam and Ashley were wonderful hosts; quick to answer questions, patient with more questions, and flexible and accomodating with our kid-needs (even offering to tape up the corners of a coffee table that our toddler might have banged into). The house is wonderful; beautifully restored and decorated, super clean, nice smelling, and comfortable (the beds were delicious). Extra touches like a bathroom stocked with toiletries you might have forgotten really impressed us. We loved the neighborhood; there's a little playground two blocks away, a walking trail/greenspace within a few blocks, all the restaurant and shop recommendations we were able to try were great, and it was fun to walk around and peek at all the new and re-do houses going up. Scores for our favorite game of  Fantasy Alternate Life were high. This was definetly a very nice stay and I hope to stay again on my next visit to Austin. Thanks A&A, and good luck with baby #2!"
4351493,32477291,2015-05-18,3567936,Chariss And Mike,Any amazing place to stay when visiting Austin! Ashley was so accommodating and quick to respond. The location was close to everything and anything you may want to eat :) The house itself was a cute restored retro home perfect for a family or small group of friends for a little getaway. I would recommend this place highly and would definitely come back. Thanks again Ashley :)
4351493,33060463,2015-05-25,1649881,Irene,"The listing was accurate, the location was convenient, the house was comfortable and Ashley was a good host.  The only thing we could comment negatively on we're the cleanliness of the patio furniture and the washing machine which didn't wash with cold water.  Overall it was a very nice place and well worth the money.  "
4351493,33461851,2015-05-28,12518975,Alexis,"Adam and Ashley were very sweet and accommodating. The house is in a great location in East Austin. The property is very well kept, organized, they really too k the time to make sure their guests felt at home and provided ample information about the house upon arrival. We would stay here again! "
4351493,33792023,2015-06-01,5310767,Dan,"Adam and Ashley provided a great place for us to stay on our business visit to Austin. Instructions were great, their communication was always prompt, and the accommodations were a perfect home away from home. Loved the vibe of the house. The outdoor seating was great for nighttime cocktails and hanging out with friends. Thank you Adam & Ashley for being so welcoming!"
4351493,34268242,2015-06-07,23805530,Maysan,"This place is perfect. The house itself is beautiful and comfortable and geographically ideal for getting to downtown. Ashley and Adam have thought of everything you'd need, provide d helpful, wonderful suggestions, and are charming as hell too. Easy parking situation. You'd be lucky to stay here."
4351493,35223227,2015-06-16,10407961,Liz,"Our family has utilized Air BnB homes around the country/world! This place is special! Whether you are a repeat visitor to Austin or this is your first visit, there is no better location to experience this wonderful city! I stayed here with my 15 yr old and 12 yr old sons. We shared lovely meals outside on the farm style table on the front patio. The kitchen had everything you need to make quick snacks or delicious meals. You are minutes from incredible restaurants, coffee shops, UT arenas and Food Truck heaven. The house is literally less than 5 minutes from such Austin Hidden gems as the Yellow Jacket Social Club or the infamous Mi Madres! Adam & Ashley go above and beyond! They will answer any question within minutes, provide all kinds of extras like shampoo and toothpaste, a bottle of wine upon arrival and great suggestions for local fun! Additionally, our family appreciated easy access to washer/dryer and recycling.  Great Home away from Home features! We will definitely return!"
4351493,36504204,2015-06-29,4816320,Erin,"We loved the Greenhouse! It was close to most places in Austin, and very easy to use as a home base. The house was warm and inviting, and Adam and Ashley provided everything we needed - from recommendations to spare toothbrushes. A very comfortable place for six of us - I would highly recommend it."
4351493,37315588,2015-07-06,2737393,Jessica,I loved staying at the Greenhouse!  It was a home away from home!  We had all the supplies you could need.  Forget your toothbrush?  They have extras!  And enough towels which is great because I've been in Airbnb's where there weren't enough towels.  It was so comfortable and clean.  The internet works fast and great and we watched HBOGo and logged into our Netflix account on the television.  After a day at Barton Springs we even did a load of laundry.  The experience was smooth and fantastic!  I'll definitely recommend anyone to stay here!
4351493,38131612,2015-07-13,4290007,Eugenie,The house is delightful.  Very hip and stylish.  We arrived late at night so Ashley made sure the lights were on for our arrival.  There were also snacks and a chilled bottle of wine in the refridgerator. Top of the line appliances and furnishings.  The neighborhood is fun and eclectic.  Easy access to all parts of Austin.
4351493,38925873,2015-07-19,37946620,Nicholas,"The description and pictures were dead on.  Great house, great amenities (Advil, extra toothpaste and brushes, towels and shampoo/conditioner)!  Location is close to everything."
4351493,39619225,2015-07-25,32933,Ross,Adam & Ashley's home is probably the best airbnb I've stayed in. The house is comfortable and clean and also quite attractive. The outdoor table was an especially nice place to sit and read or get some work done. Ashley was very quick to respond to questions when we had them. They even personalized the welcome note. I'd gladly stay here again.
4351493,40656125,2015-08-01,4847131,Jeffrey,Very attentive and friendly hosts. Pictures are accurate. The place was perfect for us. 
4351493,41666669,2015-08-08,4648220,Sergio,Amazing hosts and amazing space! If Austin is your destination this is definitely your Place to stay all decor and good taste is exactly like the pictures and they're improving on it!
4351493,42959445,2015-08-16,39960760,Margarita,"My husband, our two sons and I spent a week in Austin last August. our stay at the Greenhouse we very nice. Adam and Ashley are great hosts. We loved to find so many thoughtful details when we walked in, cookies, wine, shampoo and more. They also gave us many useful suggestions on what to do and where to dine in Austin. The house itself is lovely, with lots of light and decorated in very good taste. 
It is located in a very interesting neighborhood with lots of great places to eat a few blocks away and close to downtown as well. It is an easy place to enjoy!"
4351493,43842334,2015-08-22,24903827,Russell,"My family stayed here while we moved in my daughter to UT. It was very convenient to the campus and parking was right outside the door.  The neighborhood seems safe  The house was well described and the pictures were accurate.  We felt very welcome.  For the same price as 1 1/2 hotel rooms were were able to get much more comfort with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and laundry.  It was a nice touch to supply laundry detergent and bathroom amenities.   We will certainly consider staying here again.  For at least the next four years we will be back in Austin frequently.  "
4351493,46123594,2015-09-08,1001208,Katie,"Wow, I loved this house! It is as beautiful as the pictures suggest and offers a perfectly convenient location to downtown.  Our favorite part was sitting outside on the front patio with our morning coffee.  Even in the Austin heat it was wonderfully shaded and so lovely, and the street was really quiet, didn't have to worry about our kids playing in the front yard (which they loved).  The house itself was beautifully styled and we cooked many meals in the stocked kitchen (also used the washer and dryer a bunch). Perhaps the best part was when Adam and Ashley brought us over a pack n' play, specifically for our toddler only hours after our arrival.  They went WAY above and beyond making us feel welcome and gave us tons of ideas for restaurants and activities.  We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to Austin!"
4351493,46742074,2015-09-13,35595396,Heather,"We rented this house for a girls weekend and absolutely loved it! It was perfect - great decor, great location, nice outdoor patios (front and back). The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen is modern. Would definitely recommend this house to others!"
4351493,47230932,2015-09-16,32206119,Twelve Springs,"Ashley was fantastic and the home was perfect. It was really well designed/furnished and had a great location.  But above all, it was super CLEAN which is not always the case. Would definitely stay here again."
4351493,47379461,2015-09-18,23005009,Margaret,"Our hosts were very attentive, responsive and accommodating. "
4351493,48670636,2015-09-28,11489775,Mary,"Adam and Ashley went out of their way to make the home feel special. From the personalized notes, to the cabinet with everything you could possibly need (razors, tooth brushes, tooth paste, etc.), to the snacks they provide upon arrival it was done to perfection. I have never seen an AirBnb host pay so much attention to detail and making your stay as best as possible. You could tell they really wanted you to enjoy your time! Also, their communication was always extremely quick which is amazing for anyone coming into town! "
4351493,49243733,2015-10-02,43348660,Tom,"The Greenhouse was perfect for us. Well located, clean, and we really appreciated the amenities provided for our stay.  "
4351493,49421458,2015-10-04,32674187,Mandi,The Greenhouse was a very fun experience and such a cute home. We stayed for ACL and everything worked out perfectly. They had extra little perks waiting for us upon our arrival and made sure that our stay was up to expectations. We appreciate the hospitality and would definitely stay here again.
4351493,49886671,2015-10-07,39923071,Scott,"It was our first experience with AirBnB, but definitely will not be our last because of this host and house. INCREDIBLE experience. The house is amazing and incredibly clean. That would be enough, but the host has also been incredible and gone the extra mile to ensure we are taken care of. This will be a place we will return to next time we are in Austin."
4351493,50266973,2015-10-11,27550744,Anne,Adam and Ashley were the most gracious hosts!   The house is adorable and had everything one could need while traveling. Wie will definitely be back!!
4351493,50616129,2015-10-13,24287698,Kathy,"We had a wonderful stay at The Greenhouse. Adam and Ashley were lovely hosts, friendly and responsive. The house is wonderful - roomy and charmingly decorated. The space was immaculate, and I especially appreciated the extra amenities, ample beverages and toiletries, unexpected in an Airbnb and a thoughtful touch. One of the best guidebooks, as well - I love personal, local recommendations - and the few instructions were clear. Nice, quiet neighborhood and it's a quick drive or Uber ride to downtown. We'd love to come back!   "
4351493,51079535,2015-10-17,46152761,Ankit,"This is a great place.  It is exactly what you see online and more!  They left some beer, cookies, and snacks for us as well as leaving some toiletries if we forgot them.  I would stay here again!

Also, it is a less than $7 uber ride to campus or downtown during non peak pricing.  Great location!"
4351493,51417414,2015-10-19,2274448,Laura,"Adam and Ashley were great hosts! Wonderful attention to detail, with guides and supplies and everything you need for a great trip. Check in and checkout was a breeze, and they were super accommodating! They even had goodies waiting for me at the house :) The Greenhouse is well stocked and has such fun decor and a nice front and back patio. Location is walkable to the east side and downtown. Really great place. "
4351493,52037125,2015-10-26,27328839,Peter,"This was my first experience with AirBNB, but I honestly don't know how it could have been better. Adam and Ashley were incredibly easy and responsive to work with, super accommodating, and the property was fantastic. Lots of small touches, like the welcome package and notes and the sundries supply were just bonuses. "

4676479,35787229,2015-06-22,31039638,Brian,"Erica and Turnkey Rentals provided an awesome experience for what Austin has to offer. Upon arrival the place was spotless and had necessary essentials such as towels, toiletries, and dinnerware. Overall the house is exactly what you intend to see. It was large and had a lot of living space. The rooms are decently sized which could accommodate a decent amount of people. The location of the house was in an older Area of Austin, but the area is up and coming. A lot of nice restaurants are in this area. The famous Juan in a Million breakfast taco place is right behind the house. Which was extremely convenient because it was just a walk away. Getting to downtown literally takes like 5 minutes. I really enjoyed that the place was located a little outside the city because it gave the necessary room to be in a quiet area. Also the host was very straightforward with messaging. I have a lot of respect for Erica and Turnkey because they really provided an enjoyable stay!"
2326308,10820162,2014-03-09,12056367,Timothy,"I was in Austin for a few weeks for a job, and Rene made being in a new city a little less crazy. Her place is very neat, and the room is artistically done with a sci-fi kind of feel. If you need a place to stay, it's definitely worth looking into."
2326308,11037876,2014-03-17,13057921,Anthony,"Cute little room 10min from downtown and walking distance from the 10 Bus line that took us straight into downtown. Shared house with other airBnB'ers, over all a very positive experience and saved alot of $ compared to sxsw hotels. Would book again :D Thanks Rene!!"
2326308,12229319,2014-04-26,2980543,Jacob,"Rene was quick to reply to my questions. The listing was even better than I had expected :) The neighborhood was quiet, safe appearing and as described. Having access to a fridge and the kitchen made life much easier! I had no problems with anything."
2326308,12446534,2014-05-02,9600878,Tom,It was a great stay with AirBNB professionals: the tron room was a pleasant surprise.
2326308,13751775,2014-06-03,15021058,Ayana,"Renee and Thomas are very cool people.  Their home is in a cute little neighborhood in South Austin.  Great if you have to take the bus and accessible to I35, Mopac, and 290 if you drive.  They were both very laid back and fine with me a) staying a looonnngg time (long story) and b) my cat staying with me.  They have just completed some renovations on the bathroom and master bedroom- it looks great.  They came by often and were very friendly (and usually bearing beer.)  When there was an issue with the wi-fi, Renee was on it- it was great to have responsive hosts.  I highly recommend staying in any of Renee and Thomas' rooms.  It was a great stay during a tough time for me!  Thanks to you both!"
2326308,15557678,2014-07-11,17599044,Hilary,Thank you :-)
2326308,18862029,2014-09-01,18889401,Stephanie,"The Tron Room was an aesthetic delight, as was the rest of the house and property!  Rene is clearly talented in her home decor tastes and abilities. We only saw her twice but our interactions were of course sweet.  She keeps everything very clean.  Our time there was a pleasure to the senses!"
2326308,21953309,2014-10-27,21176382,Sarah,"Rene and Thomas are wonderful hosts. They offered advice on how to get around Austin and suggested things to do. The house was exactly as pictured, very spacious and clean, and was conveniently located to the SoCo district, Barton Springs, and downtown. On-street parking is always available immediately in front of the house, and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. The interior decorations are very well done and the retro/futuristic pieces are authentic. I felt very welcome during my stay and enjoyed meeting other Airbnb guests.  "
2326308,22685474,2014-11-11,15895760,Mason,"Rene and Thomas have a lovely little home, the neighborhood was safe and unique and very close to South Congress. The Tron room was comfortable and clean as was the rest of the home. Easy access in and out. It makes for a lovely stay. Would definitely stay again! "
2326308,24895426,2015-01-03,16697236,Qi,Tom & Rene were easy to contact & live nearby and overall cool people. The space was nice the house was older but cozy. The bed wasn't comfy. Loved the area; quiet family neighborhood but minutes from lots of happenings.
2326308,25171832,2015-01-08,10990654,Sophia,The place was definitely cool and very accessible to downtown Austin. Never met Rene but the room was set up nicely. Would stay there again the next time we will be in town.
2326308,26506911,2015-02-14,25956585,Janina,"We really had a great time at Rene's and Thomas's house. The house and our room were really clean and spacious. We had everything we needed, especially the kitchen was perfect. Because there was no one else, we had the whole house for ourselves. Rene and Thomas are great! They told us were to go and even helped us with finding a host in another city! We felt very welcomed and would definitely come back again! Highly recommended!! Thanks again!! "
2326308,27239920,2015-02-28,14085097,Gillian,"I enjoyed my stay in the Tron room. The hosts were accessible and communicate well. They allowed for a flexible check in /check out which was very helpful with the cold weather! I was truly happy to have a cozy little house with a good heater and nice kitchen and bathroom. Great shower! I also liked the bed in the Tron room. The first night was a bit distracted by traffic noise, but I got used to it after one day. I bought ear plugs but ended up not needing or using them. My little dog was very happy in the house, and enjoyed the fenced yard. The internet worked and generally it was a great deal! I felt the space was well cared for, clean, and the hosts were conscientious. I made sure to communicate and was answered promptly. "
2326308,28009611,2015-03-16,14281954,Beth,Rene and Thomas were wonderful hosts and the place was amazing!  It really had a special flavor to it that was very Austin and my room was clean and nice.  Loved the nice firm mattress and slept like a baby.   The bus on first street goes right downtown.  Rene was very helpful in helping me find where to get the bus downtown for my return.  I would stay here again!
2326308,28289483,2015-03-21,20328581,Emily,"We really enjoyed our stay! Rene was quick to answer any questions I had via text, email or phone call. We met Thomas briefly as he stopped by to set up the other room for a new guest. He greeted us, smiled, made sure we had the most up to date local newspaper for the SXSW events and let us know we could contact them if we needed anything else. The house is very clean and cute! The bed was so comfortable, the kitchen had supplies to help us prepare dinner and enjoy some coffee in the morning, the living space's couch, table, and high speed WiFi allowed me to work from my laptop to stay on top of work during my stay and even the bathroom shower head was fancy and made me jealous that I didn't have that one at my own home! We plan on using their place again on our next trip to Austin. It is not far at all from downtown but far enough away from busy neighborhood traffic or highway noise. "
2326308,29247164,2015-04-05,30539077,Amanda,"Rene and Thomas responded immediately to our last minute request for a one night stay at their beautiful home. We arrived a bit later then the expected check-in time without any issues. Thomas met us at the place, showed us the grand tour, and even offered to show my boyfriend a bike he had for sale. He was extremely cheerful and provided ideas for local night life. The house was immaculately clean and gorgeously decorated. I felt at home. The neighborhood was quiet and it was only a 10 minute Uber ride to Rainey Street. Honored to say this was our first BnB experience. Would definitely return of I find myself in the area again. Thanks so much!"
2326308,29476697,2015-04-07,12270129,Hang,"Rene responded super quick to our last minute request. We had such a pleasant stay. Everything was clean and neat. Great neighborhood. 

Thank you!! "
2326308,31842603,2015-05-10,32356042,Sam,"My girlfriend and I had such a wonderful experience staying in the Tron Room.  The home itself was amazing.  The shared living room/kitchen was spacious and impressively furnished.  Out back there was a nice patio space and grill that we used.  There are two bedrooms inside the home (including the Tron bedroom which we rented).  The first night we had the whole place to ourselves.  The second night somebody had rented out the second bedroom but we didn't see him once.  It felt like having our own home in Austin and was perfect for what we were looking for.  The home is about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown Austin.  We took an Uber home one night and the cost was pretty reasonable (around $15).  Rene was great about communicating with me throughout the experience.  She even printed off our boarding passes for our flight home and delivered them to the house for us!  Honestly, the whole experience could not have been any better.  Next time I'm in Austin I would definitely seek out staying here again!"
2326308,32032889,2015-05-12,6026962,Rachel,Super easy check in/out. Quick communication. Nice location and home! Great stay!
2326308,34315507,2015-06-07,25474991,Desdemona,"I am new to Austin and had an extended stay. Rene and Thomas are gracious hosts, and now good friends. They are both artists, and the house was full of fun thoughtful touches. It was very comfortable inside and out. The house is close to SoCo and 15 minutes from downtown, so it is a good location. It's kind of dreamy. I plan to stay there again soon!"
2326308,35141403,2015-06-15,7172685,Cesar,"This house is really clean, well decorated and no hazles to check in and out. The room was just right, nothing fancy or big in size but had everything we needed. Our dog was with us and he enjoyed it as well. I bet a lot of people choose this house because it's pet friendly, same reason we did. But keep in mind, there are several rooms that are individually rented as bnbs. Our neighbor (in the room next door) did not follow the pet policies set by the host which is to never leave pets alone at any time. This made the experience a bit less pleasing since there was a dog wining constantly. We made every effort to take our dog with us even when it would've been convenient to leave him. Not everyone is as considerate. Other than this, the house and the rooms are perfect. I especially loved playing the Lowrey keyboard. The hosts also provided clean towels, tooth paste and even shampoo and bodywash which was convenient for us. Never met the hosts personally, but this is not necessarily a bad thing, since it gave us privacy"
2326308,42972485,2015-08-16,38804137,Kuo-Kai,"This place was very clean and comfortable. The environment was quiet. I loved the kitchen most because of the kitchenware and the tableware. By the way, the kitchen is extremely clean. It made me feel being home. I had a great experience there. Definitely recommended this place."
2326308,45214176,2015-08-31,42640815,Kris,"It was our first time trying Airbnb, and it was great! The location wasn't bad at all, and the neighborhood was quiet. The house and room itself was awesome, so many things to admire. Would definitely stay again. "
2326308,45913531,2015-09-06,33131478,Mary,"Cute place, VERY accommodating to their guests! Nice touch with the all natural bug spray selection, we needed it! Great communication too! Thanks for everything!"
2326308,46238604,2015-09-08,11556174,Adelle,"My husband and I had a great time staying in Austin. The room was as listed, clean, tidy and comfortable.

I met Rene on the weekend, she was bubbly and full of suggestions for things to do etc.

I’d recommend the listing to others as a good location for exploring Austin by car!"
2326308,47596179,2015-09-20,9891773,Gautam,"Rene and Thomas are awesome. They were perceptive, accommodating, and then some. Would highly recommend them as hosts. 

I was running a race in Johnson City, and needed a place to get a quiet night's sleep prior to the race. The room itself was comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Rene and Thomas even left a care package with some pasta that I could cook up to help with the carb-loading before the race. How awesome is that?

Everything was smooth as could be. The check-in is very convenient, and while I can't comment much about the location itself (I really cared about how quickly I could head west from here early in the morning) it seemed to be pretty close to downtown and had some excellent eating options within a 10 minute drive. 

A+, would stay again."
2326308,49073181,2015-09-30,45019799,Jon,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and Rene and Thomas made sure it was a great one. We were in town to visit some friends over the weekend but their place is pretty small, so we needed something close and affordable. We ended up renting the Tron Room from Rene and Thomas, it was perfect. There are 2 rooms for rent in the house and a small Airstream trailer out back. The kitchen and living room are roomy and artfully (email hidden)ry homey and comfy. The back patio has a table and chairs that we ate breakfast at every morning. Rene and Thomas were VERY responsive and accommodating to all our questions and requests. It made for a very enjoyable and relaxing weekend. Thanks again for your hospitality, we will definitely be back."
2326308,49961661,2015-10-07,173879,Brian,Clean place and very well managed. Hope to meet them next time.
2326308,50591454,2015-10-12,46033306,Connor,Very nice experience. We came into town later in the evening and had our room ready and waiting. Clean house.
2326308,52157989,2015-10-26,46733088,Jason & Su,We were in town for the F1 GP and this was the perfect location to get to COTA. The rooms were beautiful and full of unexpected art and decor elements. Really cool place Rene & Thomas! would love to be back someday!
8481972,49576286,2015-10-04,44970213,Brandon,Julie was the most wonderful host. My friends and I came and stayed during the first weekend of ACL. She was very understanding about us coming and going at odd hours. Her pets were incredibly friendly and quiet. This was my first Airbnb experience and it exceeded all expectations! 
8481972,52016029,2015-10-25,13613457,Daniel,Julie is great! She's extremely welcoming and laid back. Even though I only stayed for one night she kindly offered me to use her washing machine and dryer - and even lent me all her camping gear for my next trip to a State Park! I definitely recommend staying at her place.
8481972,52193014,2015-10-26,47216091,Elizabeth,"Julie was an amazing host! We arrived early in the morning and she offered us coffee, which was amazing. She was very good at making sure we had everything we needed. Her animals are very sweet and well-behaved. Also, the location was easy to get to and parking on the street was easy."
3104715,14048767,2014-06-10,989795,Topher,"Location of space was ideal! Right in the heart of downtown, this made for a comfortable spot with easy, convenient access to the rest of Austin. Area is loud, but the space is surprisingly soundproof, and a supply of earplugs are provided. Space was clean and appears like images. There was 4 beds, as well as a day bed, so you can imagine this is a spacious unit. The ladies of Top Trip Rentals were all very nice, but very slow on response time. Our arrival time was late at night, and the key in the key box did not work for the door. We had trouble reaching anyone, and response was very lax. Luckily, security was available to let us in. A second key was not provided, so we were left most of our first day without a working key - despite multiple reach outs. And by end of trip, we still only had the one working key. Also, took a full day to receive a second key card to enter the building -  despite multiple reach outs. Aside from the key issues, no complaints about this space. Great if you want to stay close to downtown and be near everything."
3104715,15497816,2014-07-10,16316283,Benjamin,"Fantastic loft with ample space for 6 blokes, awesome location. 10 out of 10 would go again! Thanks to the top trip rentals team."
3104715,15589970,2014-07-12,2884461,Rebecca C,"The place is walking distance from all the party venues and even the mall. Nice and clean and the people you have to contact are nice and helpful, replying last minute things. The only thing that is confusing is the parking,  just call security and they should help you. Take a hair dryer with you if you plan to stay few days."
3104715,16405278,2014-07-27,2547599,Wellington,"The host was extremelly kind, efficient and helpful. Chereen and her Top Trip Rentals team did a wonderful job. I really recommend them to everybody. The a apartment was exactly how described on the annoucement and the location is great... The only issue (which was properly advised all the time by the host) is the noise from all the live music from the 6th Street - which I found very fun by the way.. So it did not bothered me at all."
3104715,20358326,2014-09-28,1600654,Joe,"Overall the unit is exactly looks just like the pictures and how it's described in the listing. The apartment building is pretty old and reminds you of dorm rooms but once inside the unit the place is perfect for yourself and a few guests. It's off 6th street which can be loud, especially on weekends. 

The apartment has an excellent location if you don't mind being centrally located downtown. You're right off the famous 6th street where there are tons of bars and restaurants. It's a 10-15 minute walk to both East and West 6th which offer different bar and restaurant scenes. Quick cab to Barton Springs, Zilker Park and South Congress areas. 

We did have a few issues with the apartment and the host. After entering the room and putting our bags down, we noticed a very large cricket/bug in the bathroom sink. The place had a strict no smoking policy but smelt like someone has smoked in the unit that morning. After removing the bug we thought we'd be okay. We left the apartment and went out for some food. When we came back, one of us took a shower and was greeted by two other beetles/bugs in the shower. After that, we found another two bugs in the middle of the night in one of the beds. We contacted the host who immediately contacted us back saying she'd try and relocate us. I did request a refund that morning for the first night due to the conditions and bugs and was denied right away. 

We ended up getting relocated to another unit down the hall (Every unit on the floor was managed by Top Trip Rentals). We were worried there was a problem with the building and bugs and that was the case. Upon moving to the new room, we ended up discovering another 5-8 bugs throughout the apartment. Another thing to note, is due to the location of the apartment building, you get a very rowdy and loud crowd. Out of our four night stay, we were woken up on at least 3 different occasions to other guests in the apartment complex.

Overall, I would not stay here again for obvious reasons mentioned above. To top off the trip, we received a call when we arrived back in Chicago saying there were issues with our stay and someone had discharged the fire extinguisher in the apartment building. There were at least 15-20 other guests in the building and no one in our party had any involvement.

If your looking for a grimey apartment on dirty 6th, this is your spot."
3104715,22061133,2014-10-29,12303224,David,"This place was perfect for us. We were right in the heart of Austin in walking distance to most things. Good amount of space. Clean. It is a little noisy at night as it's on the main nightclub strip, which the owners warned us of, but we were so exhausted from having so much fun here we slept through it all."
3104715,22577857,2014-11-10,19259442,Brittany,This was a great place to stay! The location was amazing...so close to all the bars & restaurants on 6th street. The apartment was really cute and accommodated our group very well. We would definitely stay there again. 
3104715,27505278,2015-03-06,1209011,Trish,"You really can't beat this location.  We were in town for an event at the convention center and this put us within walking distance of pretty much everything.  

Hosts called us the day before to make sure we had all of the information, were available via cell for questions, and were very responsive about resolving issues.

The apartment itself met all of our needs."
3104715,28703755,2015-03-29,26432431,Jonathan,"It was great.  Right on 6th Street and really all we could ask for.  The hosts were pretty accommodating and did a good job of letting us know about some construction that was going on and how we could get into the building through the other entrance.  Parking helped out a lot because we didn't have to worry about finding our own and the car was right there if we needed it.

Overall...a definitely 5 stars.  I'd stay again."
3104715,34819564,2015-06-12,3968661,Mario,The place was exactly as it was described and in perfect condition. Great place to stay if you want to be in the heart of the action. Would definitely stay there again and hopefully enjoy some of the 6th Street fun next time! 
3104715,34978943,2015-06-14,33236197,Brandon,Top Trip Rentals was amazing! Right on 6th street in the heart of everything. My friends and I had a blast. No car needed. Definitely recommend and would rent again.
3104715,35413650,2015-06-18,28794560,Carl,Great central location.  Ideal for conventions.   
3104715,35749707,2015-06-21,22328079,Andrew,"A great location (email hidden). However, the AC did nothing for upstairs where most of the beds are."
3104715,36456875,2015-06-28,32989633,Chloe,"They uprgraded us to a bigger loft because our loft's furniture was not available. This was my second stay and it was equally incredible! Nice view, easy access and worth the luxury of walking to after a long night out on 6th!"
3104715,37384599,2015-07-06,36464339,Cameron,"This was my first trip to Texas and my first time using airbnb, and I will definitely be back to Texas and will try to deal with Top Trip Rentals again! The location is perfectly located in the heart of Sixth Street activity and despite the warnings we did not find the noise to be a detraction from the comfort of the condo. 

It was very clean and confortable. Nice linens, nice beds, towels, kitchen tools, absolutely everything. We had zero complaints. 

Deal with Top Trip Rentals with confidence. "
3104715,39828282,2015-07-26,6470048,Komal,"Top Trip Rentals were very organized and made us feel very welcome! The place was very clean and inviting.  They provided essentials (towels, soap) which was nice.  GREAT location, right in downtown next to the bars and restaurants. We had an amazing time!"
3104715,45225945,2015-08-31,42789530,Edward,Kalyn and everyone at Top Trip were great and very welcoming. The loft was clean and equipped with everything we needed.  Location was superb and overall a great stay. We will definately book with Top Trip again!
3104715,48328204,2015-09-25,7754678,Juan,"It was perfect for what my co-worker and I needed.  Very close proximity to our office and in a great location.  Close to the bars and restaurants of 6th street, which made it easy for us.  Definitely will stay here again for corporate housing.  Granted we spent minimal time in the unit, it was satisfactory for our basic needs."
3104715,49532292,2015-10-04,44870473,Tamanna,"This condo was perfect! 3 of us stayed there and had no issues during our trip. The location was perfect for our needs-directly on 6th street. This made everything very convenient for us. The description states that because it is on 6th, it can be very noisy. This wasn't the case for us. We found the condo to be quiet but for those very light sleepers, there are earplugs that are provided for you if necessary. Great place to stay!"
3104715,50387303,2015-10-11,28842371,Hanson,The description was (website hidden) didnt work. This apartment is on 6th street so it is very convenient to the bars but it is loud until 3 -4 am. However the owner provides earplugs for your convenience.  
5337141,28028236,2015-03-16,28123827,Brea,"I couldn't have been happier with my stay at the Beehive! I arrived in the middle of the night, but Kerthy had made arrangements for me to get the key, and provided ample instructions via email. The Hive is hidden away amongst the trees, and the architecture is somehow stunning, simple, silly and cozy at the same time. Overall the house is small, but every turn provides something of interest, from the lighting fixtures, to the shelves, the cozy bench in the shower, the LBJ commemorative plates in the kitchen, and the books on obscure independent films. I could easily lock myself in this home for a week.
Favorite amenities:
 - Coffee, coffee press and handmade ceramic mugs! Plus Kerthy left some fresh milk in the fridge, which was all I need.
 - Internet access, for those of us in town on ""business""
 - Outdoor shower.... how exotic?!
 - Office workspace, overlooking the living room. Very chic.
 - Open Kitchen with giant cheese board - allowing 5-7 people to easily hang for a wine/cheese happy hour.
 - Good knives. Nothing worse than a kitchen with dull knives.
 - Laundry
 - Dimmable lights - is soft lighting an amenity?
 - Privacy - I was worried about all of the windows when I arrived, but the home somehow feels private from the neighbors. I didn't see anyone nearby for over 3 days.

I will definitely book the Beehive again - hopefully in the summer when the greenery returns. It was a fun, quirky, comfortable place to stay, and could serve as a small social meet-up site for anyone coming to town to visit with friends. A perfect getaway.

"
5337141,28328217,2015-03-22,1144995,Chrisanne,"I stayed at the Beehive for a week during SXSW, and had an excellent experience. Kerthy (owner) and Cindy (manager) were very easy to communicate with, and super friendly hosts.  Prior to arrival, they emailed with information about transportation, the surrounding area and even offered to stock the house with anything we might need, since my flight was getting in late in the evening. Cindy also offered to bring juice from Juiceland in the morning, though I found it to be a pleasant walk.  In the middle of the week, Cindy dropped off fresh towels. And generally, they were both attentive and responsive to questions. The neighborhood was great, and convenient to all areas of Austin.  The house is beautiful ~ fantastic architecture, very comfortable and well appointed.  It's hip and fun, and does have a beehive (with bees) and a cute chicken coop (no chickens :) All in, it was a great week and I would be delighted to stay there again in Austin."
5337141,28896311,2015-03-31,26649125,Mikey,"This is the best beehive I have ever stayed in! My wife and I stayed for 2 nights, we honestly didn't want to leave. It was the perfect place for the 2 of us, checking in/out was effortless. The location is a great walkable neighborhood, we met a few of the neighbors, every one of them was incredibly friendly.  I can honestly say that the next time Im back in Austin the beehive will be my first pick!"
5337141,29435241,2015-04-07,9724645,Patrick,This is an incredible house in a really great area of Austin. Would highly recommend staying here. 
5337141,30941693,2015-04-29,22990345,Caroline,"Our 4-night stay was absolutely superb! Having never been to Austin, staying in this super cool beehive just added to our trip. The house was cozy, very well designed and a really nice place to come back to in order to unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. Kerthy and Cindy were both super responsive and helpful. Highly recommend staying here!"
5337141,31335538,2015-05-04,5603971,Isabel,"I can't recommend the Beehive highly enough! It is a unique, whimsical space in an extremely convenient location. There a few restaurants and bars within walking distance, and everything else was a short (and inexpensive) Uber ride away. 

Kerthy and Cindy (house manager) were fantastic hosts, and we especially appreciated the detailed instructions/recommendations they sent along prior to our arrival. 

A few great changes implemented since they photographed the space:
-The windows on the second floor have blinds for increased privacy
-There is now an awesome (custom?) frame for the bed "
5337141,31984681,2015-05-12,580847,James,The Beehive is one of our favorite Airbnb locations anywhere. Its beautifully designed and set in natural back yard filled with birds.  The bedroom is set next to a tree with windows that are angled down so it seems like you are sleeping in a tree house.  My wife loved the large bathroom counters and well appointed kitchen. Kerthy was a great host and was very responsive. We plan to come back often.
5337141,32636616,2015-05-19,12498057,Javier,Amazing space stocked to the hilt with well thought out amenities.  You're not going to find a cooler spot in Austin.  Kerthy provided very thorough instructions.  Will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!
5337141,33155603,2015-05-25,12882437,Helen,"Our stay at the Beehive was INCREDIBLE!  The Beehive is quirky, beautifully designed, and extremely comfortable.  Tucked away in a quaint and friendly Austin neighborhood, it was the perfect place for my husband I to spend our honeymoon.  Kerthy stocked the house with fresh linens, toiletries, and great cookware in the kitchen.  Waking up to so much natural light in that house was like a dream!  Cindy, the house manager, was on top of things during our entire stay.  When we had issues with the wi-fi service and a (small) issue with the running water, she worked with our schedule and arrived as quickly as she could to resolve the problems--just within hours!  My husband and I loved the record player and books that Kerthy included in the house, and we also enjoyed using Kerthy's french press every morning for coffee.  The location of the house is amazing-- we were in walking (and short driving) distance to practically all of the Austin eateries, bars, and sites we wanted to visit.  I could not recommend this place enough.  I'm not sure who has stayed at the Beehive since us, but  during our stay, Kerthy completely re-landscaped the yard, and planted some bamboo trees around the property which made the house feel even more private.  Perfect stay, perfect host, we can't wait to stay there again!"
5337141,33616490,2015-05-30,26763569,Christopher,"The Beehive is a cool, funky space!

I showed up the week after some devastating storms which had caused damage to some trees on the property (that had to be removed by workers). Cindy (the manager) was super helpful, and messaged me with detailed instructions explaining the situation.

Thankfully the house was undamaged in the storm, the trees were cleared away before I even arrived, and I had a relaxing stay from that point onward! Recommended!"
5337141,34722285,2015-06-11,29835226,Johan,"Beehive var ett väldigt mysigt och trevlig boende som gjorde vår vistelse i Austin underbar. Allting var fräscht och fint. Både Kerthy och Cindy var väldigt tillmötesgående och svarade snabbt på våra frågor. Observera att för att ta sig till South Congress, Downtown eller någon annanstans så behöver du troligen hyra bil eller ta en taxi. "
5337141,35144769,2015-06-15,20743787,Ron,Wonderful and unique house tucked away in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. Would stay again.

Kerthy made us feel welcome with recommendations of all the local places to visit (which were spot on) and the entire process was completely hassle free. "
5337141,36628660,2015-06-29,9464594,Jo,"The place was perfection! Its really interesting, unusual, peaceful, private and beautifully designed.  Kerthy and Cindy gave us all we needed to get settled in and were on hand to answer any questions.  It was in the perfect spot.  We were kindly given a list of places to get all we needed, local coffee shops, etc.  I would definitely return and recommend it highly to anyone looking to stay in Austin.  "
5337141,38183234,2015-07-13,704743,Lucky,"The Beehive was perfect for us. We were there for a week on business and staying in a hotel + eating out every meal gets old really quick. The beehive was comfortable, private and just what we needed! The bed was so comfortable and the blinds kept the room nice and dark for a great nights sleep. Would definitely stay there again "
5337141,39326614,2015-07-22,10153231,Amber,"The Beehive was the perfect Austin getaway. I can't recommend it enough! The house is filled with amazing little details and touches- it's beautiful, quiet, and in a perfect location in East Austin. Parking was easy. Lots of coffee shops close by. Hillside Farmacy is amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
5337141,41130796,2015-08-04,26443834,Kelly,"Our stay at the Beehive was great! We loved Austin and thoroughly enjoyed the town and the people.

5337141,46189226,2015-09-08,20241303,Patty,The beehive is a lovely modern home and looks just like the pictures. It really stands out in it's surroundings. We hadn't been to Austin before and didn't know what to expect as far as the neighborhood but it was a short uber ride to everywhere we wanted to go. 
5337141,46425987,2015-09-10,19981848,Kathryn,"We had a quiet, pleasant stay at the Beehive..would definitely recommend this comfortable little hide-away. Kerthys suggestions of food and drink in the area were spot on! "
5337141,48012812,2015-09-22,42792604,Kathryn,"One of the most incredible places I've ever seen - let alone stayed! Great and unique use of space, very comfortable for two. Quite, safe neighborhood. Good access to downtown Austin by car or bike. Not a bad walk if you've brought the right shoes, and there are solid food and drink options close by, too."
5337141,49765925,2015-10-06,33049113,Stacey,"The Beehive was so cool! Cleverly designed with everything you need. It's spotless and uncluttered, exactly as it looks in the pictures.

5337141,51438040,2015-10-20,16853627,David,"The beehive is definitely the most interesting Airbnb in Austin, and design lovers will appreciate it most. The neighborhood is very quiet and not exactly central, but Manor Road and a number of great restaurants are within a 10-15 minute walk, or you can take a short cab ride south or west to the commercial districts with all the bars, restaurants, and shopping Austin has to offer. Definitely a unique place to stay. We really enjoyed it."
5337141,51998487,2015-10-25,22410960,Cori,Designer gem! (Squirrel TV free of charge out of bedroom window.) Charming get-away. Chic and cozy tree house. Tucked away in east Austin neighborhood. Personally we opted for a rental car but Uber would work too. 
5337141,52206618,2015-10-27,33167857,Joel,"Great place, great location.  Would be best for a couple.  Downstairs foldout bed is a little tight but manageable.  Upstairs bed is great!

Everything you need (no tv), washer dryer, kitchen, close to East Austin night life.  Easy Uber ride to downtown."
5337141,52678097,2015-11-01,9155129,Valerie,Awesome place. Uniquely modern and more than enough space for my boyfriend and I. Great location (quiet neighborhood) and made exploring East Austin a breeze. Super easy to grab a Lyft or Uber to get around the rest of Austin. Had just the right amenities for us (didn't miss having a TV) since we were out and about mostly during our stay. Loved it. 
5337141,53085273,2015-11-04,42038489,John,"The Beehive is probably one of the best Airbnb listings in Austin! Is a unique and beautifully designed space inside and out and you will love staying there for whatever reason your visit to Austin may  be.

The beehibe was very clean and is as cool as it is in the listing.

The host was wonderful and accommodating.  I hope to stay again next time I visit Austin.

3991089,27783415,2015-03-11,9375463,Kit,Our team booked this house for a work retreat in Austin. It was cheaper than a hotel and all five of us still had our own bedrooms as well as a comfortable place to meet. Would definitely recommend for similar purposes or for a vacation in Austin. 
3991089,28117401,2015-03-18,24103631,Nathan,"Great property, modern fittings, homey, comfy, and clean. Awesome roof deck too! The neighborhood was pretty good for SXSW, quiet surroundings, and short cab ride into town. "
3991089,30756330,2015-04-27,25653540,Ivan,The property worked out great. It was just as advertised and comfortably fit all 12 of us for my bachelor party.  It was short uber ride to 6th street and rainey street. I would stay there again. 
3991089,31922052,2015-05-11,19474237,Dan,Great house. Deck is great and in a safe part of town. $10 Uber ride to 6th street. Worked great for our group of 12. 
3991089,33773730,2015-06-01,27969477,Claren,The house is large and lovely- quick uber ride to most areas.
3991089,34581805,2015-06-09,32246803,Tayo,Amazing house and even better location. We were very close to 6th street and ubers were always available Totally worth the money and this is a hot spot if headed to austin 
3991089,35104271,2015-06-15,32047522,Lauren,"The neighborhood wasn't the greatest but it was definitely a nice house for the part of town it was in and it was close to a lot of good places.  Erica was great and worked with us to get a deal for our third night.  When it got closer to the date we were coming and I tried to contact her, I sent a message twice and didn't get anything back so I had to contact the company.  Besides that, everything was great."
3991089,35781615,2015-06-22,30122732,Marty,Everything was great! The house was extremely clean upon arrival and had everything we needed and more! It was a perfect location very close to downtown. The keypad to get in and out of the house was very convenient! We loved it! Super nice spacious house! 
3991089,38123285,2015-07-13,13334234,Andrew,"The house was great. Plenty of space and well furnished. The area is interesting, a couple funky places nearby and not too far from Franklin's BBQ (we skipped the line by buying the 5 pound brisket and cooking it up at the house... Had to buy a big enough pot but left it there for the next group). Super easy uber ride to anywhere in Austin. Owner came by with a six pack on our first night which was cool. They emphasize the quiet hours, A LOT,  a bit of struggle when you have a roof deck with a hot tub, but we didn't have a problem. I gather airBNBers are trying to stay on the good side of the city. I hope they can because this place worked great and Austin is an awesome town."
785270,2924113,2012-11-19,4143384,Cristina,"It was perfect!! Well located, very comfortable, nice, clean, plenty of space and a lovely neighborhood!"
785270,3018891,2012-12-03,4174441,Elaine,We had a wonderful stay and Madge was a gracious host! The neighborhood is beautiful and the location is great.
785270,3786983,2013-03-15,4261967,Joshua,"Perfect for SXSW! It was never more than a ten minute drive to the Austin Convention Center. You get exactly what is promised on the listing. We enjoyed our stay, and will come again!"
785270,3813465,2013-03-18,4373062,Ashley,Perfect size for two people. The loft was nice and clean and had plenty of amentities for a short stay. 
785270,3934795,2013-03-28,5628042,Allan,"Her place was clean, private and had all the amenities needed for crashing in Austin. It was in a great area for exercising and a good location for easy access to Austin's best places. Its a new place so its hard to go wrong with it, better than a hotel room thats for sure!"
785270,3991960,2013-04-01,5651077,Jennifer,"A great stay at a great apartment! A cute and quiet, modern  neighborhood with easy access to everything we wanted to do in Austin. The apartment is over her garage, but is VERY private and has a big comfy bed (memory foam?)! A great getaway for two! We appreciated that the place was new and very clean. A great stay. Thanks Madge! "
785270,4257534,2013-04-22,5593830,Timothy,We really enjoyed our stay here! Amazing bed and the space was very comfortable. Highly recommend. 
785270,4278595,2013-04-23,5940738,Stefani,"What a great place to stay!  Comfortable, quaint, and a very accommodating hostess!  I would definitely stay there again and again!"
785270,4499020,2013-05-08,5733185,Alison,"This was literally a home away from home. Madge had already made our trip so much easier with her wonderful apartment. The apartment is fully stocked with basically anything that you might need (and would more than likely find in the comfort of your own home.) The neighborhood is also wonderful; convenient parking, serene, yet, close enough to the University and other important locations. Overall, amazing! Would definitely stay here again. "
785270,4850203,2013-05-28,6473754,Andrew,My wife and I stayed here for two nights. It was cozy but had everything we needed. It was at a great location in a private community. We really enjoyed our stay!
785270,5063019,2013-06-10,3297864,Dov,"Great little MIL apt in quiet neighborhood. Madge has everything you might need in there.  It's private, it's clean and Madge's communication is very professional."
785270,5332813,2013-06-24,1574528,Carlos,"My family and I would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for the incomparable hospitality shown by Madge during our stay at the Darlington Arms. For a couple with two girls, the location was great and it allowed us to do so many things in so little time. The three nights went so quickly and we definitely felt at home. I recommend this cozy, convenient and select secondary suite apartment to anyone who enjoys the personal touch when traveling or simply wants to treat oneself to a temporary home away from home."
785270,7912537,2013-10-08,2335004,William,We had a great time!  Super value for a festival weekend and we love the area--very centrally located.  We travelled with our 2 kids and there was s plenty of room for all of us.  Sorry we didn't meet you Madge!  We noticed the stickers on the car in the drive and thought we would probably get on well:)  Thanks again.  Billy
785270,8596546,2013-11-07,7861580,Thuy,"Madge was a wonderful host. The apartment was super cute, private and very comfortable.We felt right at home for the month we were there and really enjoyed how pretty and walkable the neighborhood is. Madge replenish items we requested promptly and was great to communicate with. "
785270,8811783,2013-11-19,7118393,Matthew,"We spent four nights at Madge's place, had a blast!  She was super friendly and accommodating.  She also helped us pick out a few unique places to eat in the area!"
785270,10873176,2014-03-11,2919014,Kate,"Madge and her family were very accommodating.
They made us feel quite comfortable.
Madge responded immediately to any request we had.
The apartment and area were very quiet and relaxing.
Wonderful walking trails nearby as well as a supermarket and weekly farmer's market. Also, easy access to a main thoroughfare and interstate."
785270,10974041,2014-03-16,650903,Tini,"We spent four nights in Madge's apartment. The area is very peaceful and a nice park is nearby. The apartment itself is very quiet and private and was spotlessly clean with a lot of extra sheets and pillows. The washer and dryer were a great plus after 2 weeks on the road. It's an easy 1$ busride to downtown Austin, if you don't want to pay for parking. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Madge since she was out of town, but she provided all information we needed for our stay. Great place if you don't mind being a little off the beaten track!"
785270,27247421,2015-03-01,2919014,Kate,"Very comfortable place and accommodating host.
Great neighborhood and nearby parks"
785270,28923917,2015-04-01,22618556,Loni,We had a wonderful time at the Darlington Arms. It was cute and comfortable and a perfect location to explore Austin. We walked to the bus in the neighborhood for a quick ride into downtown. Madge was very responsive and the apartment is perfect. We are hoping to be back again next year!
785270,31447936,2015-05-05,6203133,Robert,"This is a reasonably well-maintained apartment in a new development in east Austin. It is a very quiet neighborhood, with easy access to parks and open space. It's necessary to drive to any of Austin's attractions or eateries.

The apartment is completely separate from the rest of the house, and the keyless entry means that you may not meet Madge. This suited us fine, since we didn't need anything."
785270,31951690,2015-05-12,30215128,Jules,"Cute, clean Airbnb in a lovely neighbourhood. It had absolutely everything we needed and it truly felt like a home away from home. The bed was big and comfy and we also used the couch to sleep on but we didn't fold it out. Madge was very precise in her description of how to get to the place and all other info like the wifi pass was provided on a note board when we entered the apartment so we never actually had to meet. The apartment also comes with a brand new thermostat called ""Nest"" which is really modern and easy to use. We once took a bus downtown which was convenient but we used our car most of the time. Parking was opposite of the house. Great place I strongly recommend."
785270,33230191,2015-05-26,25442235,Janet,This was the perfect location for a family wedding right outside of Austin. The apartment was exactly as described with a cozy home feeling in a nice safe area. The air conditioner worked great and we needed it! Even with tornado warnings and severe thunderstorms we never lost power. We were very happy we decided to stay here.
785270,37294382,2015-07-06,29989887,Sarah,"Madge and Darlington Arms were wonderful. We stayed here for a whole month as we transitioned from Austin to Indiana. Staying in the Mueller neighborhood was the perfect end to our four years in Austin. I highly recommend this area if you have kids--the parks, the pool, the children's museum are all just a short walk away. 

Madge was quick to respond to any question or concern we had and went above and beyond to make us comfortable."
785270,40058789,2015-07-27,32565871,Polly,"Madge's apartment was great, very tidy & within a 10-15 minute drive to almost anywhere you want to go. Madge very kindly accepted us to stay even though we had last minute plans which was so appreciated. Would definitely recommend for your Austin stay! "
785270,40534990,2015-07-31,39656761,Andie,We loved the neighborhood! It felt very safe and the description is very accurate. We had everything we could possibly need and more from Madge. I'd definitely stay there again. 
785270,43431876,2015-08-19,6513343,Jonas,Madge's place is fantastic! the apartment is cozy and modern. Madge had everything ready and perfect.  Lots of natural light. What a great apartment in an awesome neighborhood. 
785270,44444684,2015-08-26,39357117,Lisa,"Madge was an excellent hostess and the Darlington Arms apartment was a fantastic home away from home.  We were immediately met by a warm, custom welcome letter from Madge, with instructions on everything from how to use the thermostat to how to configure the wi-fi for our Mac devices.  We felt at home and able to really feel comfortable with the security of knowing that she was close by if we ever needed anything.  When we visit again, we will be back at the Darlington Arms!"
785270,44944761,2015-08-30,1176291,Wen,What a wonderful centrally located apartment that made our trip to Austin just perfect!! The apartment was modern and had everything we needed. There is also a playground/pool across from the apartment that my kids (4-yo and 11mo) thoroughly enjoyed. Madge was the perfect hostess! Communication was a breeze before and during our stay. She was very responsive to the few questions I had during our time there. Thanks again for a wonderful Austin experience!!
785270,46086333,2015-09-07,22732170,Nhu Mai,"Madge was great. Her message was very thorough, and we had no problems with our stay. 

Pros
1. Location - The neighborhood was charming and an unexpected surprise for east Austin. It had a suburban feel, even though it was only 10 minutes away from downtown. I definitely always felt safe in the neighborhood. 
2. Price - We only paid $59 per night for labor day weekend, so that was phenomenal. I also loved that there wasn't a cleaning fee. 

Cons
1. Beds - The bed honestly felt like I was sleeping on the floor. It was basically rock solid. The sofa bed could have been better as well. It didn't fully lay out straight, so it felt like we were sleeping on mini hills. 

Overall, Darlington Arms was a steal for only $59 a night for the entire place during Labor Day weekend. Our stay wasn't as comfortable as we'd like, but I can't complain for the price. "
785270,46443011,2015-09-10,764322,Liz,The place was darling and would be an excellent place for any traveler to explore Austin from with everything you might need to enjoy your stay.  Madge was handy eith suggestions and I would recommend it to anyone.
785270,47766614,2015-09-21,42234117,Heather,My husband and I loved staying here!  No longer than 10-15 minutes away from everything!  Very clean and comfortable.  When we come back to Austin we will book here!
785270,49273574,2015-10-02,913016,Michael,"We had a great time staying at Madge's place. It's in a great location, with a park and some trails around. It's a quick drive to down town. Her little place is very clean, spacious and has great natural light coming in. It was a very comfortable and relaxing stay!"
785270,49792975,2015-10-06,31179126,Samantha,"Madge's place was lovely. We had a great time at the Austin City Limits festival and exploring other parts of Austin. Madge's place was a nice escape from the busyness of the fest. It was in a great location, it was clean, and quiet. We also loved the bed! It was firm, but very comfortable. We would definitely recommend Madge's place to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
785270,51916102,2015-10-25,32718645,Marissa,"We had a wonderful time during at the stay at the Darlington Arms. The location was great, within walking distance to a lot of activities. My husband, daughter l, and I had a great time."
7897706,49628565,2015-10-05,36438131,Chelsea,"This condo was a nice place to stay. It was quiet and the patio looked out onto green space. Amanda, the host, was so nice. The only downside was the futon was a bit small for my very tall boyfriend but that's the only downside. We stayed here for ACL and drove to parking a little closer then biked to Zilker. You cannot bike from here as it is on the Mopac. Good location and close to everything you want without being right in the middle. We would definitely stay here again. "
7897706,50298431,2015-10-11,21109163,Sameera,"The condo was conveniently located, with less than a ten minute drive to ACL. Amanda was an accommodating and hospitable host. There's also a nice view of the green belt from the patio area, which was relaxing. "
4111528,20067160,2014-09-22,4163467,Chanel,Adam was great! Anything we asked for he got for us immediately. The apartment is exactly like the pictures and the location made it easy to walk anywhere downtown. 
4111528,20262287,2014-09-26,37093,Alex,"Beautiful apartment. Exactly as the photos show. Incredibly clean and comfortable and Adam made it super simple to get the keys, etc.

I'll definitely check to see if this place is available next time I come to Austin."
4111528,21046741,2014-10-10,4296721,Liz,Adam was a great host. Friendly and available as soon as I arrived by phone and text to answer questions. The location can't be beat if you are attending a conference at the convention center. Appliances are all new and everything was clean and organized. Wifi is screaming fast. Bring a swimsuit - I was wishing I had as soon as I saw the pool. Try the acai bowl place across the street for breakfast too! Great space. Great host.
4111528,21097743,2014-10-11,21436025,Victoria,"I was really looking forward to staying here as the pictures and description looked great.
Finding the apartment and getting the key was really an easy and smooth process.
Unfortunately on our arrival the apartment hadn't been cleaned from the previous user which was disappointing after 16 hours travelling. Adam dealt with it quickly and had cleaners round in an hour or so. 
I wouldn't say this apartment could fit five people comfortably as there wasn't an air mattress available. We made up the sofa for a bed for our two other guests which was ok for one night. 
The apartment doesn't look as homely as it does in the photos with no pictures on the walls or lamps in the bedrooms. 
The apartment is in a great location and a nice building. "
4111528,21747785,2014-10-23,2527115,JoEllen,The condo was in a perfect location for me to access the Convention Center-about a block and a half from door to door. I was able to communicate with Adam by text once I arrived to get better instructions on how to get into the complex and find the unit.  It was just as represented in the photos and suited my purposes.  Loved Austin!!
4111528,22067579,2014-10-29,21407087,Jesaka,"Location, location, location. This was in the heart of everything for the conference I was attending around the 6th/Brazos area. If you're in Austin to enjoy anything happening downtown, this is ideal in terms of location. The actual condo was very clean, very tidy and the recliners are fantastic after a long day of lots of walking. This condo is right next to the pool and I could hear conversations/noise while in the living room, however, I was amazed at how little (if any) noise I heard from the pool or the street while in the bedroom. Thanks Adam!"
4111528,22117284,2014-10-30,22549520,Mikael,Incredibly convenient downtown location with secure parking. Plenty of space to spread out as a business traveler. 
4111528,22528224,2014-11-09,7934338,Paul,"Awesome 10/10 location. Right in the heart of it, but on a quiet street and easy access. Lots of food/drink options in close proximity. Very functional unit, ideal for a couple, small family or 2 singles. The plunge pool is a great little bonus for this listing.

Adam was just a text message away and responded immediately to a quick question we had."
4111528,22763540,2014-11-14,8877861,Justin,"Adam's place in Austin was excellent! The key was easy to find and the condo is just like the picture. There was a problem with the Internet, but Adam was very responsive and it was fixed quickly. Plenty of room for a couple or two. Great space for me as a business traveller, plenty of room to spread out and do my work. EXCELLENT location, I walked everywhere I needed to go. Will definitely check this place out again if I'm in Austin."
4111528,22911611,2014-11-17,22066777,Jared,Adam's place was great! very clean and a perfect location. He was very responsive with inquiries. Would definitely recommend!
4111528,23844504,2014-12-12,7508430,Kevin,"Adam was a great host, really helpful. The apartment is in the perfect location if you want to experience downtown Austin. It's small, but very comfortable and nicely furnished. Has everything you need to call it home for a night or a few days."
4111528,24171582,2014-12-21,921360,Kelly,The reservation was canceled 81 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4111528,24832341,2015-01-03,7375031,Will,Location is the best part of this place. Since we were visiting it was great to be able to walk almost anywhere we went. Listing was accurate and Adam was very responsive and made sure we were able to get in. He also made sure we knew we could contact him for anything during our stay. Great host.
4111528,25514092,2015-01-18,25606039,Claudia,"Adam was quite responsive to our questions and needs. He inadvertently gave us the wrong code for the lock box which necessitated a late night text until we had navigated the lock box, the entry system and the parking area. Slightly clearer instructions would have saved some of this difficulty!
The condo was as advertised and was nicely cleaned. We had intermittent internet service - it would be out for several hours at a time. This is a condo in the heart of downtown Austin. Do not expect a quiet night's sleep if you choose this listing. The courtyard is on one side and the street is on the other. Conversations lasted until 2AM on weeknights and 5AM Friday night. "
4111528,25605118,2015-01-20,25396615,Michael,Great location central to the city. Adam was easy to work with and the entire process was incredibly easy. Have already recommended the location to another group of friends.
4111528,25765679,2015-01-25,14863455,Efren,Perfect location in the city. Super close to everything. Very clean and neat place. Would come and stay again. 
4111528,25821311,2015-01-26,7953863,Joe,"Well, the location of this condo is excellent. As everyone else says, its right in the middle of everything. Actually getting inside was a bit of a hassle as the lockbox was jammed or something, the front gate keypad code didn't work and neither did the parking lot remote to open the gate. Once we got the keys out of the jammed lockbox, we could get through the gate and into the condo no problem, but we had to wait for someone else to either leave or enter the parking area before we could get in or out ourselves. The condo itself is nice with nice furnishings. No TV in the main room and the TV in the  bedroom didn't work which wasn't a huge deal to us, but just a heads up I guess. Apparently there was a mix up and the place was not cleaned before we got there, but he had the cleaning guy over in about an hour. We were in town for a concert, so we really only need a place to crash for one night and it did the job there, once we were able to get in."
4111528,25902802,2015-01-29,7386069,Kyle,"Pros:

The location was amazing. You couldn't beat it for that. Right downtown, super close to everything. It was clean. The bed was comfortable. Adam was very responsive to messages.

Cons:

When we arrived, Adam let us know where we could find the fob to the parking garage. The fob didn't work. We texted Adam and he responded immediately but let us know that either we would have to replace the batteries or he could get us batteries that evening. So we trekked over to CV Pharmacy and found batteries and a screwdriver (at a cost of about $10) so we could park.

Internet didn't work at first and certainly wasn't very fast. But again, not really why you're staying there probably.

The place is VERY loud at night. Conversations in the courtyard, street noise, it all comes through. I can imagine SXSW might be a little hellish.

The place itself isn't exactly... welcoming. It's devoid of decoration and has very little in it. That's okay, I guess, that's not what you're in Austin for. But there was not much going for it in the looks department.

We couldn't find towels at first until we realized they were in the dryer. So they were clean, at least.

The couch is described as being like a bed so we had assumed it was a bed. It's not, its just a couch. So don't expect to really sleep anyone on that comfortably.

Overall, not bad. Kind of expensive and I've had much better AirBnB experiences before. Great location though."
4111528,26293455,2015-02-09,22519101,Andrew,"Being extremely close to the conference centre, Adam's downtown location is perfect for a young professional.  I was able to easily walk to all downtown locations for shopping and night life and I was a simple twenty minute walk to the east side music and arts community.  I'm very impressed with Adam and the ease of transactions.  Even after my flight was delayed a day, Adam was able to book me for another night.  Experience Austin like you have lived there for years."
4111528,26594118,2015-02-16,8961855,Aren,"Great location. Comfy bed.  All in all it worked out well and I would definitely recommend this spot.  We were able to get in and out with relatively little hassle using the padlock and key, so no need to meet in person which is convenient.  I'd do it again."
4111528,26984697,2015-02-23,5791737,Daniel,"My wife and I enjoyed staying at Adam's place in Austin.  The condo is accurately portrayed on Airbnb and was more than adequate for our needs.

My wife was attending a conference at the convention center and the apartment's close proximity to the convention center and the downtown Austin restaurants was a huge plus.  

Downtown Austin has quite an active nightlife and Adam's condo, while not on Sixth Street does get some late night noise -- as I'm sure every similarly located condo does.  If you can't tolerate some noise, don't stay downtown.

We had one communications related snafu when we arrived but Adam took care of that in a professional manner.

If we return to Austin, we would definitely stay in Adam's condo again."
4111528,27335131,2015-03-02,23851524,Anna,"Dave is the property manager and helped us out during our stay. We had a few issues with the utilities, and he was ready to help! He couldn't have been nicer! This place was a great location. Would definitely stay again. "
4111528,27424589,2015-03-04,11609763,Reid,"Actually the apt manager is named Dave (Adam hired him).  He was super friendly and was trying his best to help us.  The electricity was out for most of the day (but we weren't using the apt till later anyways..so we didn't mind too much).  Dave wasn't able to clean as usually, so he went and bought new sheets, pillow cases, blankets and towels....he did the best he could.  Thanks Dave!

 He let us check in early to leave our luggage so we could explore Austin a bit more before we left.  Electricity came back on when we got back later which was really nice because we needed the heat.  Austin was freezing during the time we were there.  Location was awesome!  We were able to walk to the bars/lounges, restaurants and cafes!  "
4111528,27532011,2015-03-07,11459057,Jonathan,This listing is 100% accurate. The space couldn't have been better for my stay. The location was awesome and the apartment was comfortable and clean. Will definitely book again the next time I am in Austin and need to be downtown.  
4111528,27667819,2015-03-09,27698544,Ross,"Great unit for 1-4 people in the ideal location in downtown Austin. Close to 6th street, Rainey St, and campus. Would definitely stay there again my next time in town. Adam was a good host and the padlock system allowed for easy access to the apartment without having to meet up in person. Apartment is nice, clean, and well furnished. "
4111528,27827345,2015-03-13,23580761,Beverly,"The host was very gracious and helpful. The location is very convenient and near hotels, busy 6th street, and not far at all from the historical capitol building. "
4111528,28362008,2015-03-22,23488588,Jenn,"Fabulous location and comfortable accommodations. Host was very responsive when an internet issue cropped up and helped immediately! Even though this is on a busy street, the apartment was incredibly quiet; no evening noise and plenty of sunlight in the morning to help get the day going. Overall a great experience!
"
4111528,29022639,2015-04-02,9341064,Zana," The location is amazing, in the middle of downtown. Apartment was very clean. We found kitchen to be lacking basic kitchenware and supplies. Property manager wasn't the most responsive.  
"
4111528,29276711,2015-04-06,3196714,Tamás,"We had a really enjoyable stay at Adam's apartment. The place was in a great shape, the furniture was nice, everything was clean. The neighborhood was a perfect home base to explore the city. Some of the best coffee shops are just around the corner and a few really great bars just a couple of blocks away.

Our only problem was that the internet was out, and even though the property manager gave my number to the TWC representative, they didn't manage to fix it during our stay (we were only there for a weekend, though).  "
4111528,29637819,2015-04-10,5090908,"Drew, Nora And Becca","The location was primo for downtown activities with great restaurants, bars and coffee shops literally on the next block. The property manager was super responsive when we accidentally locked our keys in the condo too. I would stay there again!"
4111528,29949671,2015-04-14,444145,Grant,"You can't beat the location.  We walked to dinner, and spent the evening sampling some of the bars. Great place.  Would definitely stay again. "
4111528,30123259,2015-04-18,1335841,Marlene,"The location of this condo is perfect for walking to 2nd Street District, 6th St District, Rainey St etc. We walked up to the capital as well. It is a short taxi ride to the music venues on S Congress. The condo was nicely decorated, spacious and very clean.

"
4111528,30500679,2015-04-23,25201095,Morgan,"We had a great stay at the condo. Everything was as advertised; very happy with how everything went. Great location, fully endorse if you want to be right in the middle of everything in downtown Austin. Our contact, David, was very helpful. We left a couple of shirts there and he has promised to return them to us. 10/10 would stay again."
4111528,30871927,2015-04-28,26851606,Paige,"Adam's apartment was in the perfect location, allowing us to explore much of Austin on foot. Room was as described, and getting in upon check-in was very easy."
4111528,31016342,2015-04-30,26695733,Erica,Great location! Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to enjoy.  Apartment was clean and bed comfortable.
4111528,31094555,2015-05-02,26474853,Cameron,"Nice part of town. Easily accessible to good bars and restaurants. Well maintained establishment. Definitely recommend. Went smoothly, no complaints"
4111528,32247228,2015-05-16,30068258,Jami,"Overall, we had a great experience!! The location was perfect, especially to enjoy the downtown area. Restaurants and bars were within walking distance. The condo was impeccable! Very clean and comfy! Adam was very responsive to our texts and questions! Would definitely work with again! "
4111528,32561312,2015-05-19,17779633,Mathew,"Great communication, very nice condo in an excellent location.  A very smooth experience all around.  Highly recommend for a great stay in Austin!"
4111528,32799360,2015-05-21,2073228,Erik,"The Location for this downtown condo is incredible.  You are close to the Convention Center, Area Restaurants in the heart of Austin, Texas.  Thanks for providing recommendations on the local restaurant options.  The condo was solid from top to bottom.  The Kitchen had brand new appliances and the unit was extremely spacious.  Thanks for accommodating our last minute booking.  You made it extremely easy on our first AirBnB Experience.  "
4111528,33242225,2015-05-26,29119978,Katherine,"We were very impressed with our condo during our stay in Austin. We were allowed to check in early and leave our stuff in the condo while Dave cleaned from the previous guests. Everything was very clean and well decorated. We had four guests, and the air bed worked perfectly. When we couldn't find the wash clothes, Dave came by and dropped some off. I highly recommend this condo and if I return to Austin I would love to stay here again."
4111528,33746852,2015-05-31,25427432,Anthony,Nothing but good things to say. Apartment was super clean and great location. Wouldn't hesitate to rent again. 
4111528,34166777,2015-06-05,31270689,Ariel,"The property manager, David, is very nice and responsive. The condo is clean and tidy, in an excellent location, and I felt safe walking down the street at all hours. The pool is good for cooling down in HOT Austin weather, but don't count on it for a swimming exercise."
4111528,34429438,2015-06-08,12967776,Peggy,"The entire check-in process was seamless. The condo was clean and perfect for three people. There was an air mattress that was comfortable and easy to set-up. The pool was small but a great place to cool off after a day in the Austin heat. The location was awesome, with everything in walking distance or near public transportation. We would definitely stay here next time we are in Austin. "
4111528,35046064,2015-06-14,35429171,Santiago,"Are host was very friendly.  He made sure to contact us before we arrived to the condo, and made sure we had everything we needed.and that we could access the condo since the condo is gated.  The condo was very clean and in a great location.  We would definitely rent out this condo again. "
4111528,35158864,2015-06-15,33908658,Elias,"Excellent host, excellent communication, very cozy apartment, 2 blocks from 6th street, we were minutes from all everything. Next to the pool, apartment was as advertised.  I would highly recommend the location."
4111528,35793168,2015-06-22,30795515,Lauren,"We stayed in this condo for a friend's 30th birthday weekend and couldn't have been happier with the accommodations or the location.  We were able to walk virtually everywhere (and did) and if we didn't feel like walking the most we paid for an Uber ride was approximately $6 (except to the airport).  The host contacted us before we arrived and made sure we had enough blankets and pillows for everyone since we had 4.  The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend.  The property manager, Kenny, provided his phone number and he made himself available at any point if we had questions.  The air conditioning stopped working at one point and he had it fixed by the time we were back from our tubing trip.  We used the pool in the property and everyone in the building was very nice.  We highly recommend staying there and we would absolutely stay there again."
4111528,36190697,2015-06-26,9710436,Paul,"We just loved staying at this tastefully furnished, very comfortable apartment. Unbelievably convenient to everything downtown. Just steps away from the convention center, great coffee, top restaurants and clubs, even a yoga studio across the street. Refreshing pool. Amazing to have a parking space right at the building. Location makes it easy to walk or drive everywhere. Adam is an excellent host and communicator. We look forward to staying here again!"
4111528,36490467,2015-06-28,23397499,Stacie,"Great place, as described in the listing.  Very close to downtown activities!  Adam was very helpful and responsive when we had questions.  Would definitely stay here again if I ever came back to Austin. :)"
4111528,36596511,2015-06-29,35890160,Bogdan,I would highly recommend the apartment. It's very clean and in a great central location within walking distance of most anything you want to do. Adam and the property manager were very quick to respond to any questions.
4111528,36891271,2015-07-02,2116508,Milos,Great bang for the buck considering the location. Would book again. 
4111528,37621434,2015-07-08,32993343,Whitney,"Easy to locate! Very clear directions on how to access gate codes, garages, etc. The interior was spotless and welcoming. There was even various breakfast items (i.e. orange juice, biscuits, eggs, salsa) in the fridge for fresh and ready for us to use. The area is perfect for anyone wanting a central location to take a weekend getaway. "
4111528,37855896,2015-07-11,22076445,Phil,"Easy access and a great location.  We took public transportation from the airport and it stops a block away.
The unit is actually nicer than the pictures and there are all the essentials you would ever need. The kitchen was well stocked including coffee, filters and creamer.  The furnishing were very nice and great for a couple.  
The condo is well located for restaurants, night life and retail. It can occasionally be noisy because of the activity on weekends-typical of urban central locations."
4111528,38226819,2015-07-13,37786969,Stoyan,"Great experience. 
Perfect location - just a block or two from all the places you wanna be in Austin. The condo was in great condition, trendy furnishing and extremely clean. It felt like home. The prices are much better than a regular hotel or other accommodation. The host was in a constant communication with us and ensured we had everything we needed. Will definitely stay there again. "
4111528,38941269,2015-07-19,18600599,Jamie,"We had a great experience at Adam's place. Our host was friendly and *extremely* responsive (got back to us  via text within just a few minutes if we had questions). The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very centrally located. We LOVED the pool! Would definitely recommend staying here.

I slept on the couch and found it very comfortable. We were provided with a nice set of extra linens and pillows."
4111528,39096121,2015-07-20,5463031,Andrew,"Adam's place was great! There's a tiny pool right outside of his apartment. The place was clean when we arrived, and fully furnished. Make your stay here at Adam's place! Great price, excellent location, and a private parking spot as well!"
4111528,39346618,2015-07-22,4965339,Jarrett,"Nondescript building very central in Downtown.  Unit is on ground floor, but not noisy.  Unit looks as advertised.  Good value, I thought.

This is a standard managed rental. There was no contact with Adam.  Kenny is the property manager, and he met my needs promptly by text message.

There was a problem with hot water during my stay.  Kenny tried unsuccessfully to fix it and offered a reasonable partial refund on checkout.

"
4111528,39994852,2015-07-27,31482255,Brian,"This is THE place to stay in Austin! It's in the perfect location-walking distance to everything. My wife and I were so pleased! The place itself had everything we needed (toiletries, hairdryer, full kitchen) and the pool and parking space were an added bonus. We will definitely be staying here the next time we're fortunate enough to get down to Texas. It surpassed our expectations! "
4111528,40386608,2015-07-30,7360447,Chad,"Great apartment in a great location! It was well kept and had all the essentials. The property manager Kenny was accommodating and super easy to work with. Getting in and out of the spot both on foot and by car was super easy. Overall positive, hands off experience that was exactly as advertised. Thanks guys."
4111528,40810001,2015-08-02,28930078,Uriel,Great place to stay and great location. 
4111528,41511719,2015-08-07,393960,Amar,"It was nice staying here in Austin. There were some issues with the wifi, however, the host attempted to resolve the problem and compensated me appropriately. While the listings mentioned two beds the first night I stayed at the Condo the airbed (which is what I assume to be the listing's second bed)  would not hold any air. I had to sleep on the couch which was not ideal for someone who is tall. I was informed that the airbed was replaced, but alas, I'm not sure one should list an airbed as a bed if there is a chance of it not performing said function. "
4111528,43347934,2015-08-19,5493593,Anna,"Perfect location in downtown Austin - just a block from the convention center and two quick blocks to 6th street. There were grocery stores and plenty of restaurants within walking distance as well. As close as it was to all these things, we were not at all disturbed by noise at night.

The condo was clean, comfortable and well stocked with plenty of freshly laundered towels and sheets as well as toiletry items and kitchen needs. The host checked in on us to make sure everything was okay and I appreciated that! The photos represented the property exactly and the reclining sectional couch was so comfortable I wanted to sleep there!

The complex itself was very secure with key fob entry to the courtyard area which accesses the individual units and the parking remote and assigned space were extremely handy as we didn't have to pay for street parking outside the complex.

Another great thing about renting this condo is that it was less than the price of the hotel rooms that I usually get and I got privacy, a great space, a full kitchen and parking included. You can't beat that!"
4111528,44693293,2015-08-28,20903183,Mick,"Great neighborhood, right downtown within walking distance to a lot of different restaurants. A/C was cool in 100+ degree August weather, fast wi-fi. 

Great place. I'd like to stay here again next time."
4111528,45151481,2015-08-31,40551860,Stephen,"Awesome location!  Can walk to all the restaurants and bars you want.  The pool is a little small and can get busy on the weekends, but we we're around much for it to be an issue.  Seemed like everyone was having fun too.  We'd both stay at this place again.  It's well maintained, clean, and again -- great location!  Also, helps to have a parking spot."
4111528,45609780,2015-09-04,1963345,Jason,"Adam's place was perfect. I could walk out the front door and be on Congress or 6th Street in a few steps. And when done for the day, I could relax in the cool and comfortable living room, eat in kitchen or bedroom. It was a much better option than the neighboring chain hotels. "
4111528,46438665,2015-09-10,43230068,Dale,"Great location and apartment.
Fast wifi and handy parking right in the action downtown but still really quiet in the apartment."
4111528,46654709,2015-09-12,8217936,John,"Very easy in and out, great hotel alternative and clean/comfortable!"
4111528,47611549,2015-09-21,8703401,Colleen,We were graciously allowed to check in early. Very nice because we wanted to explore a bit a lugging around suitcases is practical! The home was cleaned and tidy and the location was just 2 short blocks from the convention center and we could walk to so many different areas.
4111528,50612469,2015-10-13,8292304,Stefanie,My husband and I had a wonderful time. The condo is in the perfect location! I would recommend this to anyone looking to stay in Austin. The place is super modern and clean and looks just like the photos! 
4111528,50791418,2015-10-14,5258681,Bryn,"The place was impeccably clean, comfy and very centrally located. I didn't meet the owner himself, but when I had logistical questions the property manager was readily available by phone/text. I'd stay here again."
4111528,50995173,2015-10-16,6813739,Steven,"I was in town for a business trip and this place was perfect. Quiet, clean, comfortable, and the location couldn't be better. I didn't get a chance to use the pool, but it looked nice. This dude Kenny is the property manager, so there's pretty much no fuss with checking in or out. I highly recommend this place."
4111528,51266446,2015-10-19,12435789,Thuyha,"Perfect stay! Easy to check in, thanks for letting us come early to drop off luggage! As easy to check out, more than enough clean bedding, perfect place to stay while downtown! Literally less than five minutes to sixth street. Kenny the manager is super responsive when texted. Very professional. Thanks for a wonderful stay! "
4111528,52306412,2015-10-28,10883180,Paul,"This was my second visit to Austin, so I knew exactly where I wanted to stay. Adam's apartment is right in the centre of downtown Austin, within easy walking distance of the many bars and good restaurants, as well as the Convention Centre. 

Despite the central location, noise was not an issue. Everything else was exactly as described and when I visit Austin again, I wouldn't hesitate to book Adam's apartment. 

Communication was easy and efficient too. An easy recommendation!"
4111528,53077466,2015-11-04,26806808,Jene,The place was nice.  The shower was tricky to get used to and did not drain very well but it seemed that he was having some drainage issues since the dishwasher and disposal were not working either.  We loved the location.  We saw a show at ACL and it was a perfect walk to the bars and the venue.  Thank you.
5525531,28145316,2015-03-18,132077,Adam,"Kate's place was great, nice, clean, and comfortable, in a cool little part of Austin just slightly north of downtown. The neighborhood was cool and chill, with plenty of good food options nearby and far enough away from the craziness of SXSW. I rode back and forth from downtown by bicycle - easy! Kate was very accommodating and made the stay easy as could be. "
3775028,28168829,2015-03-19,27281031,Nick,"Nico and Sandra were excellent hosts and super cool.
I felt welcome the moment I walked through the door. It was as if I’d known them for years!
The house and bedroom were spotless and their generosity immense. 
Only 10 minutes away from bustling Austin the neighborhood is  quiet and the house sits on fabulous property over looking a lush forest. 
Austin is a great city with so much to offer and my experience made so much better by Nico and Sandra.
"
8084375,49637598,2015-10-05,8399010,Diana,"Carrie was easy to reach before our arrival, and she was already at the house when we arrived. The garage apartment is located behind the house and has plenty of space. The listing said it included a fridge and microwave, and it does not. However, Carrie let us know we could use the kitchen in the main house (our keys would also open the back door.) I walked over to the house later that night to use the kitchen and ran into the owner... it was awkward, so we just steered clear of that for the rest of the weekend. Additionally, there was a promised air mattress that never surfaced. Carrie had let us know that parking was allowed in the driveway (area gets crowded with people parking in the street) but because the owner was home that weekend, we had to park in the street, which was fine as long as we were back in the area before the afternoon when the majority of festival goers took over the street parking. The cable in the garage apartment didn't work, and there was no access to wifi. Luckily, we were so close to Zilker that we were able to overlook these things. Had I known these things were not available, I likely would still book it just because of how close it was. But in that case, I would have known exactly what I was getting, which was not the case this time. I was expecting wifi, cable, and a fridge and I didn't get any of those. "
8084375,50468726,2015-10-12,3085134,Dave,"Carrie was great, super helpful and assisted me coordinating trips plans leading up to the stay.  The place was nice,  exactly as described."
4122256,20400345,2014-09-28,362432,Chad,"I would HIGHLY recommend this unit to anybody looking for a great, comfortable place to stay with a terrific host who is seriously on top of every detail. It's located within walking distance to many Austin highlights (check out the host's guidebook). I would definitely return again. Thanks Charlie for making my trip so easy and carefree in terms of lodging!"
4122256,20731036,2014-10-04,12709370,Andrea,"Charlie was extremely hospitable and kind from the moment we stepped foot at his place. He kindly greeted us with a sweet greet of pumpkin-spice cookies, and helped carry our stuff into his place. This place was spotless! Very clean and spacious. It's right across from a Mexican place called El Alma, which Charlie suggested we visit.. Delicious. Also a walk away from a convenience store. The neighborhood is safe and friendly with lots and lots of shrubbery. Also just steps away from Zilker park!  "
4122256,22380947,2014-11-04,22842765,Yves,"Nice welcome! Charlie gave me a tour from his appartment to a great supermarket (fresh food!!!!) Neighborhood was good, near to downtown. Just 15 min walk."
4122256,25978117,2015-01-31,26475105,Shike,"It is nice to meet Charlie in Austin. Charlie is bright and brilliant. As a host, he is very friendly."
4122256,28314823,2015-03-22,916738,Marvin,"Amazing experience. Charlie's a great host, very laid back and super interesting. It was like staying with a long lost cousin. He left for a few days and I got the whole place then, moving into the bedroom, which was nice. I forgot my headphones and he lent me some. He gave me music recommendations for SXSW. And he lent me two of his books to read, which were also enjoyable.  "
4122256,29356642,2015-04-06,1114497,April,"Charlie was a great host, really interesting and invited me to play frisbee and ball with his friends. Great location that is walking distance to most places in Austin. Highly recommend anyone who's visiting Austin :)"
4122256,30882831,2015-04-28,1101879,Jennifer,"Charlie's apartment is in a really great location - I was able to walk to Whole Foods and to the conference I was attending. Charlie was out of town for most of my stay, so I had the place to myself. We finally met towards the end of my stay and he's a really interesting and super-friendly guy!"
4122256,44066092,2015-08-23,41576586,Thomas,Charlie has a homey place and is a great host. I really recommend for anyone looking to see the close-knit and active side of Austin!
4122256,50213383,2015-10-10,37313660,Kim,"Charlie was a fantastic host. Remarkable friendly and flexible.  His home was (email hidden)ean, safe, and in a fantastic location.  I would absolutely stay at Charlie's again!!"
4122256,52007783,2015-10-25,46938552,Darren,"Charlie was a very accommodating host and ensured that I had everything I needed for my stay.  His place was very clean and organized.  The location is great, being walking distance from downtown and Barton Springs.  I highly recommend Charlie's place for anyone spending time in the Austin area!"
4991727,26258393,2015-02-08,25597899,Erica,It was a very nice and comfortable home! It was 8 people and we were all impressed with the home and location to everything! The owner was super nice and answered any question in a timely manner! Thank you for the great experience since this was my first stay with air b&b! 
4991727,26988779,2015-02-23,12226534,Myles,"Listing was accurate.  House was grande with ample room for the 7 of us that stayed, so long as you don't mind sharing a bed with one person.  Beds were comfortable.  Plenty of dishes for the group of us to use.  They also welcomed us with a fresh bouquet of flowers.  Easy to access lock box, two Apple TVs were available for use which was nice.  House has NEST, the smart thermostat which was awesome.  We were in town for a wedding and had some of our other friends from out of town over so this was the central meeting place for a day.  House was perfect for such a gathering.  Deck was the sweet spot where we hung out the most.  Quiet neighborhood minus the birds in the morning - tweet TWEET!  I didn't mind them, but a couple people did.  Lastly, just two blocks away was Torchy's Tacos - A MUST if you're an out-of-towner.  Get the Trailer Park taco, trashy style, and leave the lettuce."
4991727,27264790,2015-03-01,11568742,Kelly,I recently stayed at Nick's along with 7 of my friends to celebrate my brother's 30th birthday. The house was fantastic for a larger group and had all of the comforts of home :) It was incredibly nice to be able to cook at home and not constantly be trying to find reservations for 8 for every single meal and it was nice to have a comfortable place where we could all hang out together. The location is a short Uber ride to downtown (5 mins). I highly recommend this listing for any large party!
4991727,27581962,2015-03-08,16537135,Lyndsey,Nick was very responsive and super helpful giving local suggestions of where to eat and sites to see. The house is perfect for large groups as the first floor is open concept and the perfect space for everyone to gather. Can't beat the location - easy walk to S. Congress. 
4991727,28306165,2015-03-22,66270,Daniel,"Nick was a pleasure to work with. His home is beautiful, he's very flexible to deal with, and overall everything worked out great."
4991727,28858758,2015-03-30,10138463,Matt,The reservation was canceled 185 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4991727,32879298,2015-05-23,26325315,Anil,"It was a great experience over the long holiday weekend. The house was conveniently located close to downtown and the University.  Plenty of space for all of the family and our pets.  Nick was a great host, with quick replies to any emails.  Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a large place for the entire family."
4991727,34361151,2015-06-07,6898812,Rosey,One of the best airbnbs I have ever stayed at. Nick was flexible and easy to work with and the house is beautiful and in a perfect location. Would absolutely recommend!
4991727,36359296,2015-06-28,12213926,Katie,"We really loved our experience at Nick's house. It was the perfect girls weekend, made even more perfect by our accommodations. It's close to everything but far enough away to aid in complete relaxation. The kitchen is immaculate, and the double ovens were amazing when we cooked a meal for our group on Saturday night. Nick was so helpful, and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Thanks!!"
4991727,37300603,2015-07-06,31083111,Matthew,"This rental was better than I could have imagined.  We had a large group of 9 people stay in the property for the July 4th weekend, and we could not have had a better time.  The house has more than enough space for a large group, and it is very well maintained.  The neighborhood is one of Austin's best, so we took full advantage of exploring the area.  The house is a very quick walk to many restaurants, and easy access to the lake and downtown.  Nick was very easy to work with, and he was very responsive to any questions.  This place is highly recommended if your group wants a really good feel for what makes Austin unique!"
4991727,41827405,2015-08-09,5749643,Linda,The house was perfect for our party of 6.  I have some pretty picky adult children and they loved this house.  It was exactly as the online description.  Beautiful and very clean.  It is located in a wonderful neighborhood and 5 min from downtown.  Nick was the perfect host.  I highly recommend staying at this house.  
8611833,49400831,2015-10-03,19757519,Alan,"The description is very accurate. The actual place is much better than it looks on the pictures. I would highly recommend staying here.

Very well located, relaxing and outside of the city kind of feel. Your view is the Colorado river, what else can you ask for?

Alicia was very attentive and made sure we knew how to get around and had everything we needed. She made me feel like home."
8611833,50371851,2015-10-11,11375439,Barbi,Great location. Clean space. Very available host! Reasonable price!
8611833,51948623,2015-10-25,10338872,Nguyen,"Alicia's place was just as advertised. Very cozy, clean and convenient to downtown and South Congress area.

5086211,27496266,2015-03-06,13322261,Trey,"Cristina made us feel right at home.  We were there for more than a month, and she checked up on us regularly.  The condo was exactly as the pictures indicated.  It was a perfect fit for us.  The neighborhood was great, close to yoga, the hike and bike trails, and multiple restaurants near by.  We enjoyed our stay there."
5086211,27764835,2015-03-11,5549161,Chris,"Cristina had a very nice condo in a great location. It can be tricky to find at first, but once inside it lived up to expectations. She left food and drinks as well, along with othwe essentials, and was easy to contact. Worth checking out if you are visiting Austin."

5086211,28790023,2015-03-30,27180881,Sondra,The description was very accurate and the apartment was clean and well stocked.  The only thing missing was an iron and ironing board so we furnished it for my sister.  
5086211,29115577,2015-04-04,14455356,Erika,Cristina was super nice and made the process really simple. She was responsive on text and provided all the necessary information for our stay to be comfortable.

5086211,33838455,2015-06-01,24776366,Bill,"We had a fantastic stay at Christina's condo in Austin. It is just close enough to the action in Austin, but just far enough to be quiet and peaceful and restful. We found the condo to be wonderful as advertised the pictures did it justice. Christina was an excellent hostess checking in with us by text a couple times during our five day stay once to alert us to the water being turned off in the complex for a couple hours one day for repair. She was wonderful, the condo was wonderful, the bed was comfortable and we had a great experience.  She even left some local cider in the fridge for us to try along with some basic provisions. "
5086211,34451141,2015-06-08,26366252,Anton,"Cristina did a great job preparing apartments to our visit. Everything was clean, fridge had several complimentary beverages, apartment looks exactly the same as on photos.

Location is awesome: 10-15 mins from downtown, close to Whole Foods Market and far enough from clubs/pus to avoid noises 

We have enjoyed our stay a lot."

Everything was very new and modern. It was like staying in a model home. She was great with communication as well. We had to check in a bit earlier and she was more than accommodating.

Thank you for letting us stay at your place!"
5086211,36427749,2015-06-28,642879,Tony,"What a lovely condo that resembles the essence of Austin! We loved the proximity to shops and restaurants as well as how well stocked the place was. From laundry detergent to Vodka, Cristina had it covered. Will definitely come back!"
5086211,37687625,2015-07-09,32088555,Mark,"I enjoyed it so much I've already booked my next stay. Cristina is very accomodating when possible, very responsive. Condo is neat & clean. $12 Uber ride to our favorite spots on 6th Street. Mere blocks from some very nice restaurants of all kinds. No unbearable noises - was able to sleep without my earplugs. Good water pressure, plenty of hot water (very important). Lots of nice touches like a stocked little bar area and some items in the fridge. I come to Austin 2 to 3 weeks each month and will book here when available."
5086211,38616365,2015-07-17,33867107,Abraham,"Cristina has very helpful and laid everything out for me prior to arrival. Easy check in and out system which is great. Condo is located on 6th street, not far at all from all the action in Austin. The condo is very nice and had a good vibe to it. Every ammenty in my eyes that is needed was there (great wifi, laundry, super nice shower, comfy bed, air conditioning system was great, etc.). I definitely enjoyed my stay and overall experience."
5086211,40485264,2015-07-31,32088555,Mark,"This is my second stay, and for good reason. Very good property at this price point. You are not going to be surprised by old appliances or things in need of repair - the inside is nicely appointed (including a stocked bar) and clean. Cristina is responsive and cordial. Our offices have moved about 1/2 mile further away - but I will continue to stay here when it is available."
5086211,40929010,2015-08-03,339157,Lesley,"Cristina was very inviting and gave good instructions on the rules to the home.  The condo was exactly as you see, awesomely decorated and in a good neighborhood.  Good eateries within walking distance and a great location to be picked up by Uber to go 6th St bars.  Overall, we had a great time here and would definitely come back again."
5086211,41690644,2015-08-08,32088555,Mark,"I ony have one complaint - I'm back in town next week and Cristina's place is not available! 
- Clean
- Quiet
- Nicely appointed
- Beer in the fridge!
- Lots of cooking supplies, spices, Irish butter (yum)
- Rode Uber to Bess Bistro, in the heart of 6th street - $3.84
- Great, responsive host

Looking forward to my next stay."
5086211,41856183,2015-08-09,6426525,Ayn,"The condo was very cozy and nicely decorated. Only stayed one night, so my review is based on a short stay. The bed was pretty firm but comfortable enough. I would and will recommend the place to friends when they visit Austin. 
It's is nice that there is an assigned parking spot because otherwise parking is very limited. "

The apartment was clean and quiet and having the pool provided relief from a hot Texas August.  We'll try and stay here again on our next Austin trip.

5086211,50618507,2015-10-13,33147233,Rafael,"The apartment was great.  My wife and I (along with another couple), stayed there during the ACL festival. It was in a great location and within a small walking distance to Zilker.  The apartment was exactly how it was described by the host.  It was in great condition and clean when we arrived to the apartment.  Cristina was a great host and her intro correspondence to us (itinerary) was very detailed.  She definitely made the check-in/check-out process very easy to follow.  Shew was also very prompt on all her responses to our questions leading up to our stay.  We will definitely consider this listing in our future trips to Austin.  Thank you so much. 
"
5086211,51329912,2015-10-19,38573838,Erin,Cristina is THE BEST host. She was readily available should any issues popped up. She is really nice and her place is awesome!

7884851,46945022,2015-09-14,1322642,Atanu,We had a wonderful stay at Rocio's place in Austin. We had come to get our daughter admitted to UT Austin and needed a nice home for a family of four for about two weeks. Everything was in order and Rocio went out of the way to help us settle in. We hope to be able to come back and stay at Rocio's place in our future trips to Austin.

The location provides great access to downtown, the campus area, and all the basic amenities you need while traveling.  Alexander and Emilie were very responsive and provided a great list of places to go/things to see.  They were also very helpful with providing information about Austin and answering our questions.  Overall, we had a wonderful experience!"
5535499,51045362,2015-10-17,4705910,Nicole,"We enjoyed our stay at Mary's apartment. The apartment is on the fourth level and overlooks the Greenbelt. The view is great -- quiet, peaceful, and sunrises are beautiful. There's access to a trail that leads to the Greenbelt right outside the building.  It's also very convenient to downtown, South Lamar, South Austin, Westlake and Mopac.  Mary was very friendly, accommodating, and responsive.  She welcomed us with a delicious treat and beverages, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. "
5535499,52046954,2015-10-26,4032621,Meghan,"We loved staying here! The apartment accommodated 4 of us with plenty of room. We managed to visit Austin the one weekend it was raining, so unfortunately we weren't able to use the pool, but it looked amazing! We had two cars and never had an issue finding an open guest spot in the complex for the second one. The apartment is less than a ten minute drive from downtown, but when you sit on the balcony you feel like you are in a rural resort with an amazing view. Mary left us some local beers to welcome us to Austin, and provided travel size shampoo and conditioners, so we had all of the amenities of a hotel. She even left us a hair straightener after I asked about one! We will definitely be staying here next time we visit Austin!"
5316821,28136985,2015-03-18,6107647,Thomas,"Marti is a welcoming, totally organized, and extremely helpful host.  We were quite happy to meet her, and would definitely recommend staying at her place in Austin."
5316821,38240754,2015-07-13,32931199,Sam,"Marti is such a wonderful lady!  I was on a trip for about 2.5 months and she was by far one of the best and most genuine people that I had met.  Her home was lovely, and I had a bedroom and bathroom to myself since no one else was there.  It was all very nicely set up with many books on Austin.  She also knew many hidden gems that she was eager to share. Stay with her, you will not meet a more genuine person.  I hope to be friends with her for many years to come now."
5476443,27855412,2015-03-13,20418363,Ryan,"Patrick and Catherine were fantastic hosts. The place was in a great location with a nice walk to downtown Austin, restaurants and a coffeeshop right around the corner. The place was impeccably clean and comfortable. "
5476443,28142077,2015-03-18,671205,Audrey,"Patrick and Catherine were the sweetest hosts. I couldn't have felt more welcome at their home and happier staying with them. They changed my towels during my 5 day stay and left out water, tea and coffee for me in the mornings. Their home is in a safe and quaint little neighborhood not far from downtown. It was in such a prime location. I had such a great experience, I will definitely be back!"
5476443,28218887,2015-03-20,28352798,Alphonzo,"Patrick and Catherine are the absolute sweetest.  Their place is warm, cozy and a decent enough distance from the madness of downtown that you can get a great rest without being too far.  They were extremely gracious with their time - even driving me into downtown on several occasions.  They also have several cute restaurants, coffee shops and diners nearby. Overall, would definitely stay with them again and recommend them to anyone."
5476443,28485445,2015-03-24,5536461,Crista,"This is gem of a spot in a lovely community with fantastic hosts... Patrick and Catherine were so sweet and welcoming, from the moment we walked in they made us feel at home. They were extremely accommodating and were kind enough to take the time to share places to see in the area when we had an off day...
 
The house was very clean, comfy, and peaceful. Which was such a treat being that we spent most of the time running around in the thick of SXSW. 

I definitely would recommend staying with Patrick and Catherine! "
5476443,28820990,2015-03-30,29125533,Mark,"This was our first airbnb stay and we loved it. Patrick and Catherine's home is beautiful and is in a very nice area of Austin. The accommodations were great - comfortable bed, private bath and separate entrance, all as advertised. We also were very pleased to be invited to sit with them on their porch saturday evening and enjoy a glass of wine and good conversation.  We highly recommend Patrick and Catherine as hosts. "
5476443,29306441,2015-04-06,28579840,Michelle,"we had the good fortune to stay at Catherine and Patrick's lovely and comfortable home in early April, where it proved a perfect base for exploration of Austin and surrounds. The neighborhood is charming, eminently walkable, with lots of good choices for dining close at hand. Our hosts were most welcoming, and provided helpful tips when asked; we're only sorry we didn't get to spend a bit more time with them due to our schedule."
5476443,29851511,2015-04-13,9775355,Judy,"Catherine and Patrick's home is impeccable and a beautifully restored prairie style home. They are also remarkable hosts who are warm and inviting. I had an exceptionally good experience there! The bedroom and bathroom were pristine. I had no worries about cleanliness, safety or security. The most important thing was the kind nature of our hosts. This is a keeper for the long term. I can't wait to stay with them again!"

They met me on arrival, offered great suggestions in the (very walkable) neighborhood and even shared a glass of wine and some great conversation with me after a crazy hail storm. The space was beautiful and I look forward to returning. "
5476443,30519733,2015-04-23,30809378,Jeanne,"Patrick and Catherine were very welcoming and accommodating. We arrived mid-afternoon and they were there to greet us. They got us settled in and gave us many suggestions of things to do in the area. When we came back from outings, they truly wanted to share in our experiences. Very open and friendly, but also respectful of our privacy.
Their house is beautiful, well kept and very clean. The space they have available quite spacious and has a bedroom, nice living/sitting room and a wonderful front porch. Their home is a bit of a walk to the main areas on 6th St, but not bad. Neighborhood is nice and quite."
5476443,30792885,2015-04-27,24498606,Lisa,"I am so glad I decided to stay with Patrick and Catherine for my first visit to Austin.  Their home is located in a quiet, older part of town with its own little shops and restaurants.  It's a quick, easy drive to downtown or to the interstate.  They apportion the entire front of the home which is beautifully appointed.  The Murphy bed was comfortable for me.  Patrick and Catherine never disrupted me but were warm and helpful when I asked them for assistance with maps and museum information.  "
5476443,30962473,2015-04-29,12920838,Eric,"Incredibly gracious and thoughtful hosts. Fantastic neighborhood, where you can walk to a great breakfast place and a coffee shop. The bed is a Murphy bed, but it's very comfortable. Everything is impeccably clean and it felt so homey. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to chat with Patrick and Catherine! "
5476443,31139853,2015-05-02,339780,Tracey,"I loved my stay at Patrick and Catherine's place!  Patrick and Catherine were very welcoming upon my arrival and made sure the ins and outs of their place were explained.  The neighborhood they live in--Clarksville--is leafy, quiet, and, at this time of year, perfumed by something in bloom.  Also--convenient.  And full of great restaurants and coffee places.  The room in particular is very private, the shower a good one to wake up to in the morning, and, while I did not avail myself of these amenities, there is a lovely private living room with coffee maker and front porch to enjoy at the AirBnber's discretion.   I heartily recommend Elm Street Residence!"
5476443,31358602,2015-05-04,22775672,Lee,"Patrick and Catherine were most friendly on our arrival and departure. We had the run of the front of the house with a nice bedroom, bath, and combined sitting/dining room. The house is in a pleasant neighborhood located not far from the center of town"

Catherine and Patrick have put a remarkable amount of thought and attention into their guests' experiences. They are also quite gracious, offering us not only contact solution, but also a ride downtown for our departure. Their hospitality will not be soon forgotten. 

The location is a short, pretty walk to downtown, in a cute neighborhood that's uniquely Austin while being reminiscent of  midtown Memphis and Mobile. We enjoyed breakfasting at the Galaxy Diner just around the (website hidden);Dr: Top knotch hosts, wonderful space, perfect trip!"

5476443,36837431,2015-07-01,477170,Lorissa,"Patrick and Catherine were really great hosts and were very careful to not intrude on my privacy. Their house is very beautiful and was nicely set up for guests. Its a nice big livingroom bedroom and bath with your own entrance. The neighborhood is a lovely walkable neighborhood. I think the restaurants are amazing. I tried Jeffreys, Galaxy cafe, Cafe Medici, sweetish bakery, Cippolina and was disappointed. Will definitely stay again. "

I was given total privacy while at the same time not abandoned- they made sure I knew they were available if I had any questions, needed to store something in the fridge, change the thermostat etc. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom was clean and well stocked. I was in and out much of the time because I was there to visit family but I found it very comfortable and private and will return should I be staying in Austin in this area again. Thank you Catherine and Patrick! It was a pleasure."

I highly recommend staying here. They recommended Counter Café which is walkable. Their homemade sausage patties and biscuits in sausage gravy is very yummy. There is a neighborhood pool to cool off in. We will have to try it next time we stay with Patrick and Catherine.

The neighborhood was quiet and appeared very safe. It was great waking up and being able to walk down the street to a local shop and enjoy a cup of coffee outdoors with some warm breakfast tacos. Traveling around town from their home was quite easy. We had a blast! We would certainly stay here again if presented with the opportunity! 
5476443,43088708,2015-08-17,34787849,Brianna,"Patrick and Catherine were very welcoming hosts - they were available with any questions and gave me advice on places to go in the neighborhood.  The neighborhood was quiet, peaceful and easy to drive or walk around.

The room was very comfortable and clean with plenty of private space.  A great first AirBNB experience!"
5476443,44178934,2015-08-24,5009014,Steven,"We just spent 4 days in Austin sharing Patrick & Catherine’s lovely home in a quiet neighborhood just west of central Austin. The house was nicely appointed, very clean and super private. The front of the house included a bedroom, bathroom and two sitting areas. We had access to the kitchen and the screen porch as well. While we had a separate entrance and could stay closed off from the rest of the house, we enjoyed time visiting with our hosts who were very gracious. We felt like we were staying with old friends. "
5476443,50622930,2015-10-13,38867180,Kevin,"Patrick and Catherine were wonderful hosts who were very knowledgeable about the area and gracious with their home. We had access to their large living room, as well as a private bedroom & bathroom. We always had our privacy but they were always just a knock on the door to answer any questions. "
5476443,51432561,2015-10-20,8457425,Charles,We really enjoyed our stay at the Elm Street residence.  We had the front part of the house to ourselves.  The residence had been recently remodeled and was really lovely.  We had all we needed for a great visit in Austin.  The neighborhood was quaint and there were shops and restaurants within walking distance.  We were also within close proximity to the downtown area.  It was a wonderful weekend.
5476443,52052139,2015-10-26,3441615,Adam,Patrick and Catherine were very welcoming and made us feel at home. We were in town on a very rainy weekend and they provided us ponchos. Very lovely place as well!
2472560,13314124,2014-05-25,14271555,Cristina,"Natalie's place was amazing very cleaned and organized, didn't got the chance to meet her but anything I needed she responded quickly. The apartment is in  perfect location to moge around in car and by foot. Everything that is of immediate necessity could be found in the sorroundings. We couldn't find pans to cook :( but that was okay we manage with the things she had there (she says it her description, she doesn't cook :)). Everything was perfect I don't have anything bad to say.... I recommend her with eyes close."
2472560,13668928,2014-06-02,3788233,Theresa,"Staying at Natalie's place was perfect. It was a great location and a great place. Probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in at an AirBnB. We were in town for a conference, so we wanted a place to lay low and be able to relax in and this worked out perfectly. Natalie has really set the place up for ultimate convenience. Though this may seem like a small thing, we really loved the towels! They were clean and soft, which isn't always the case. Natalie was so easy to work with. We didn't end up meeting, but she had a friend meet us at the place. Natalie also answered our questions about parking and was just so flexible about our schedule. We really appreciated having this place to lay our heads in Austin! I "
2472560,13910442,2014-06-08,13043229,Gin-Ming,Excellent experience with Natalie and her apartment. She kept close contact with me via text to make sure I made it to the apartment even though my flight arrived around midnight. The apartment was clean and tidy. Towels were ready for me when I arrived. A/C was a needed bonus for the summer heat. Very convenient to University area activities. Two thumbs up!
2472560,18105512,2014-08-22,6141926,Tom,"I stayed in 1br Natalie’s apartment for an extended period and found it to be exactly as advertised: clean, well organized, and conveniently located. Especially for someone with business on the UT campus, the location of this place couldn’t be better. Even if your interest is downtown, the apartment is well situated, with three city bus stops, serving many bus lines, located within a block (two on Guadalupe, one on 21st).

For anyone venturing outside of town, the “Megabus” pickup/drop-off area is directly adjacent to the apartment. And, of course, “the Drag,” with its many UT-associated shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants, is practically at your doorstep.

The apartment itself was appealingly simple. Everything seemed to be in good working order. And Natalie herself was always courteous, helpful, and prompt in our communications.

All in all, then, I would say that this is a fantastic place to stay while in Austin.
"
2472560,32754857,2015-05-21,9167399,John,Great apartment and great location. Natalie was great and made check in very easy. Close to campus and any places to eat or buy groceries. I'd be back again soon!
2472560,33656436,2015-05-31,5330984,Sérgio,"The house corresponded exactly to the pictures and overall description. The location was ideal, since I was attending a conference at the AT&T Conference Center, 2 min away from doorstep.

I was did not meet Natalie, but her friend Michael was very helpful. First with a tour around the house and later with quick replyies to questions by email. 
I did not properly communicate my ETA (still have no idea what went wrong with my mobile) but even though, Michael was very friendly-"
2472560,34698099,2015-06-11,29731818,Rebecca,"Natalie's apartment was perfect. the inside was cool and clean, it was decorated with lots of fun stuff to look at. She had all the amenities and it was a very comfortable stay.
The apartment was in a good location, close to downtown. Thankfully I had my bicycle with me and wasn't forced to drive. Some days I walked places.
My only issue was(and not fault of Natalie) was the construction going on outside her balcony. It was loud and abrasive. Everything was covered in dust making it very messy and hard to breath. Noise started at 630 am and didn't stop till 730 pm.  I felt like I was quarantined to her apartment. It would have been nice to know what I was getting into before I arrived"
2472560,43753887,2015-08-22,32063342,Deborah,"I did not meet Natalie personally, but she was very helpful by email/text and always responded immediately to questions sent before and during my stay. Her friend Michael handed off the key and was also very friendly!   Both were excellent 'hosts'! 

PROS
Location: I was in town for a two-week fellowship at the Harry Ransom Center (UT), and could not have asked for a more convenient location, steps away from campus...+ parking! I did not take the bus, but there were several stops outside, as well as a busy Megabus pickup/dropoff area. The Texas History Museum is very close, as is Guadalupe St - with lots of restaurants and shops. Very University-centered surroundings, but lots of options available in walking distance.
Amenities: The apartment is exactly as described, with a very comfortable seating area and small, but very efficiently organized and well-equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, and dishwasher all in good working order).  The bedroom is a good size, with soft bed/nice linens. The bathroom is clean and bright, thanks to a high window, and there is a small balcony in back - with a laundry closet  (also worked well - minor laundry door issue, but Natalie helped me sort that out pronto).  Ceiling fans are located in both the living room and bedroom - which helped a great deal, in addition to the good AC. I didn't use the TV, but it seemed to have on-demand programming + DVD player. If anything, the photos don't do the apartment justice, which is roomier than it appears. Natalie has great original art and fun decorations throughout, that make it feel more like a funky, thoughtfully decorated hotel. Very cute, clean, and modern. 

Cons
Location (for now): There is a large construction site near the building which does generate a fair amount of dust and noise all day (except for Sunday). I got used to the beeping and truck sounds - natural alarm clock booster! - but if you need to sleep during the day, or need total quiet for work or are otherwise sensitive - it's just something to be aware of.  Even with all the construction, I'd still stay there all over again - the pros would outweigh this one issue for me.  
The Building (also, for now): The surrounding block/street were pretty desolate when I first arrived, and took some getting used to. There is a garage on the bottom (lit well at night) and open stairwells on either end which lead to a long interior 'hallway' with apartments on either side (not as well-lit). It's not the most welcoming design, but I never really felt unsafe.  Students started to move back in during the second week, which helped. That said, there was always plenty activity only a few blocks away.
Amenities: The only thing I really wanted, but didn't have, was a desk chair. I had to use the living room armchair when working on the computer. No huge deal. 

All in All - Great Apartment - Great Location!

1109489,4640967,2013-05-17,5934291,Robert,Tim was a wonderful host.  The room with in suite bath was really nice.  I enjoyed my stay there and would highly recommend Tim
1109489,4689184,2013-05-20,1581273,Paige,"Tim is an amazing guy with an amazing space. 

We stayed a night at Tim's house while seeing a show in downtown Austin (Whoopi Goldberg!). Tim made checking in really smooth and was really easy to communicate with. The house is absolutely amazing. Tim showed us around while we caught up about life adventures and Austin living. We could have easily talked with Tim for hours. 

The pictures that Tim has up for the house are amazing, and if you can believe it, the house is even better then the pictures. The house is colorful, open, fresh, clean, artistic, and filled with light. 

The guest room comes freshly stocked with linens, has it's own bathroom, TV, extra blankets, and could honestly be it's hotel suite. It would be be perfect for someone who is wanting to stay for more then just a couple nights (business folks on contract for example). 

We travel a lot for work and have slept in many airbnb spots and hotels. We know a good nights rest when we find one. And man... did we sleep well. 

If you have a chance to visit Austin for work or travel, stay with Tim. He's an amazing host with great energy and one really beautiful home. 

"
1109489,5094122,2013-06-11,5695932,Zach,"Our stay at Tim's was exactly what we were looking for! Very relaxing, clean and comfortable! We LOVED the few days that we spent at Tim's place. He was very kind to help make us feel at home. His dogs were a ton of fun too! Thanks for everything Tim!
(Sorry about the late reply)"
1109489,5139471,2013-06-14,6825508,Dot,The reservation was canceled 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1109489,5250795,2013-06-20,6819472,John,"Great stay! Tim was very pleasant and got me situated right away. I stayed with him for two weeks and during that time I felt very welcomed in his home. His two dogs are very well behaved and no problem to be around.
The house was very clean and well kept. The queen foam mattress was perfect after a long day of work. I would highly recommend staying with Tim."
1109489,5369658,2013-06-26,6784293,Renee,"This was my first experience with airbnb and Tim made sure we had a wonderful experience.  He's a kind, thoughtful and gracious host, who didn't mind sharing conversations or meals.  Tim makes you feel right at home.   The pictures of his home don't do it justice.  It's so spacious and full of light.  The modern furnishings and original artwork seem like they've jumped from the pages of a magazine.  The bedroom suite has a large walk-in closet to keep your things.  The attached bathroom had plenty of space for two to share the mirror when getting ready.  Fresh towels and a basket of toiletries are ready for those who may have forgotten something.  There is a tv in the bedroom but we didn't use it.  The bedside lamp had a dimmer switch which was a nice touch as I was trying to read while my daughter slept.   Tim provided a map of the area with helpful information.  There are major stores close by; and it's a quick hop on the freeway to get around town.

Our main destination was a concert downtown.  The venue was wonderful but beware of the valet parking.  Our car was nowhere to be found when the concert ended and we were stranded downtown until we called a cab ($20 ride) to take us to Tim's house.  We were unable to retrieve our car until the following evening.  It's a common occurance according to the policeman and taxi driver.  This is absolutely no reflection on our stay with Tim.  Just a bit of advice for those who aren't familiar with the area.  Make sure the valet you choose is associated with the event you are attending.  Ours, unfortunaely, was for a restaurant at the opposite end of the block, which was only open 5-9 p.m.  We told the valet where we were going but he didn't tell us his hours.  Our mistake for assuming.

Oh, I almost forgot the best part....you won't find a better night's sleep than at Tim's.  The sheets were luxurious and the mattress was a dream.  Slept like a baby.  Thanks Tim!!!"
1109489,5768168,2013-07-15,805792,Lindsay,Tim was a great host. My boyfriend and I went to Austin for a weekend trip. Although we stayed pretty busy while we were there. Tim's place offered a wonderful place to rest our heads. 5 minute drive or so outside the city. Wonderful extremely comfortable bed. Nice big (website hidden) with Netflix for movie watching. Laundry for use if needed. Tim greeted us with lemonade and made us feel right at home. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in Austin to stay! 
1109489,5877677,2013-07-20,5258690,Lois,Tim is the MAN. We loved his home and his very large and medium-sized dogs. The house is beautifully stylish and chic; the bathroom is perhaps the best we've encountered -- mother-of-pearl(?) tiles with great water pressure and a very tall shower-head. Great location with easy access to the city's sites. His packet of info/favorite food trucks did not disappoint. HIGHLY recommend staying at his lovely home!
1109489,5994169,2013-07-25,6047785,Megan & John,"Tim is the nicest, most sincere person with a good sense of humour. He is well travelled and really easy going, with the loveliest home and the most adorable dogs! He made us feel so welcome - to come and go, laze around his backyard, read his papers, drink his coffee, chat about our day and be ourselves. The house is spacious, peaceful, and beautifully laid out for guests (single or couple). We rented a car for the week to get to and from the downtown area (only a 10 minute drive), and were able to explore more of Austin than we would've if we'd stayed downtown, without a car. The room is private with a large closet, really comfortable bed, television with movie access, and a spacious en suite. And clean!!!! Which was a huge plus for us. I couldn't recommend Tim more highly - I was happily surprised by just how wonderful it was to share a home with our host. Hands down the best Airbnb experience we've had thus far! Thank you Tim, we'll gladly puppy-sit anytime!!"
1109489,6359008,2013-08-09,7928019,Nicholas,"5-stars! Loved my stay here. Tim is an excellent, accommodating host and all around good person. He offered food and good beer and allowed me to make myself at home in his beautiful and comfortable house. 

The room was awesome. Nice bed, ample closet space (if needed), cable tv, cold-blowing a/c and attached bathroom. His two dogs were also completely welcoming and great to be around.

I absolutely recommend him to anybody passing through Austin. "
1109489,6451856,2013-08-12,4477626,Alvin,"Tim's place is absolutely gorgeous. It is better than the ones portrayed in his pictures. We needed to check-in early and Tim was very accommodating and nice to allow us to do so. He is very polite, friendly and a pleasure to get to know. We were not able to spend much time together but was able to chat before we left. I would love to stay there again and hang out with Tim in his beautiful sun room and living room. 

The location of this place is perfect as well. Very beautiful and quiet neighborhood and close to all locations. I would definitely recommend his place to anyone going to (website hidden): Both of his dogs are adorable too, and friendly."
1109489,6939648,2013-08-31,7793834,Justin,"Our stay with Tim was outstanding. He was a most warm and generous host, making us feel really welcome. We had the run of his spacious and comfortable house and he impressed on us the need to treat it like home. He even told us that the contents of his refrigerator were there for us to share if we so wished.  A more friendly and open guy you could not find. And an interesting conversationalist too. Not that we saw that much of him, as he was either working in his home office or out and about. However, when we did chat it was always an enjoyable experience.

The neighbourhood is very peaceful and we tended to oversleep in the mornings as it was so quiet. There are some great cafes and restaurants a short drive or bike ride away in the cool Eastside area of Austin.

This was our first stay at an airbnb accommodation, but if Tim's place is typical of the standard and welcome then  we're going to be searching out others. 

Thanks Tim
Ann and Justin Wallace

1109489,7378830,2013-09-17,8627172,Claudia,"Tim created a perfect first airbnb experience. His home is great, the arrangements comfortable. His location was perfect, garage great and the kitchen worked well. "
1109489,7469129,2013-09-21,5760968,Robyn,"Tim was welcoming, helpful and very kind to my mother while she was in town visiting from Europe.  His home is bright, modern and clean and the neighborhood is close to the new HEB at Mueller and very convenient to go downtown or uptown.  I recommend his place to anyone wholeheartedly. "
1109489,7526043,2013-09-23,8588440,Eakta,"We were very satisfied with our stay at Tim's house. The room is comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet and we slept well. We stayed one night, and used the kitchen in the morning to make coffee. We parked on the driveway in the afternoon, and in the garage at night. 
Tim was friendly, polite and accommodating. For example, Tim's dogs are big strong animals (I am just over 5ft and they came up to my waist) though very friendly -- when we returned after lunch to the house, we were unsure of how the dogs would react to us as he wasn't home and we were effectively strangers. Tim immediately picked up our call, and came back to let us in and make sure we were comfortable. He chatted with us during the afternoon, and gave us a suggestion for a cafe that we went to in the evening and enjoyed very much. "
1109489,7716513,2013-09-30,3671805,Jonathan,Tim was a great host during our stay in Austin. Tim was very accommodating and easy to talk to. His dogs were very friendly and were great playmates for our dog. Tim's location easy to find from the highway and a great jump off point to downtown. Thanks for a great Austin experience Tim. 
1109489,7802531,2013-10-03,1394657,Win,Tim is a most interesting man and gracious host.  His place is open airy and comfortable.  TIm along with his dogs made our stay friendly and welcoming
1109489,7877438,2013-10-07,5005576,Lynne Charlise & Peter,"Tim was a gracious and hospitable host, and his home is just beautiful! What a relaxing stay. His home is located in a great area of Austin, close to the university and great restaurants. We were in Austin to see a play at UT-Bass Performance Hall, and Tim's house was just a short 5-10 minute drive away. He also had great restaurant recommendations for us. An added bonus is that the guest room has its own ensuite bathroom - very comfortable and private. "
1109489,7930398,2013-10-08,8608452,Jessie,"Tim was a phenomenal host and his dogs were a couple of real loves! Would highly recommend. Comfy room and excellent water-pressure in well-appointed bath. Thanks, Tim!"
1109489,8019311,2013-10-13,8116934,Elizabeth,"For our first visit to Austin, Tim's house was perfect! The room is lovely, with a comfy bed. Having an en-suite bathroom gave it a 'hotel' feel, and everything was clean, well-kept and neat. Tim provided a great, handmade 'brochure' of his favorite area food trucks, as well as a laminated informational sheet, that covered everything from the WiFi to his dogs. It was a great touch!

During some of our down time between visiting with friends and family in the area, Tim was always friendly and helpful - from suggesting a good cab service to debating 80s movies. It felt more like we were staying with an old friend than with a complete stranger. We would highly recommend staying with Tim if you're visiting the Austin area!!"
1109489,8137412,2013-10-17,20648,Joyce,"We had a great stay at Tim's place! The room and bathroom are very spacious and have everything you need. We found the booklet with dining recommendations very helpful, since it was out first time in Austin. Tim has done a great job decorating his house. It's simply beautiful, modern and yet cozy.
We also enjoyed the company of Tim's dogs. They are very friendly and fun! 
Thanks Tim!"
1109489,8238535,2013-10-21,6885053,Darice,"Tim is a wonderful host!  My husband and I felt very welcome and remarkably comfortable is Tim's remodeled home.  He also has two canine companions that I unsuccessfully tried to argue for taking home with us, but neither my husband nor Tim would allow such non-sense :)

Until next time ..."
1109489,8394629,2013-10-28,3067964,Michael,"I really enjoyed meeting Tim - very pleasant company. ""Immaculate"" and ""modern"" are indeed apt descriptions for how he maintains his house. And the dogs are beautiful and well-loved."
1109489,8482274,2013-11-02,8366545,Karen,"Tim is a wonderful, gracious host who made me feel entirely welcome in his home. Tim kindly turned over his entire kitchen to me and an ample share of the fridge so I could make some from-scratch meals during my 5-night stay. I used Tim's garage, did laundry, cooked and made myself at home. Tim's dogs are very sweet and well-behaved - and I miss them already. As others have noted, the pictures of Tim's house do not do the house justice. It is just beautiful with lots of great design elements and lots of light. The guest room includes a  large closet, very comfortable bed, TV, guest-adjusted ceiling fan, and plenty of room to spread out. The bathroom looked brand-new! I appreciated all of counter space for my toiletries, high-quality towels, and great shower. The guest suite is indeed immaculate, as is the rest of the house. What a treat to stay at Tim's house!"

1109489,8661613,2013-11-11,1908973,Thomas,"Charming house, fun dogs and gracious host.  Missing a star only because the location is not great for public transit (but Tim quickly made a bike available for me when I asked)."

I was in an accident while staying in Austin and Tim offered for me to use his vehicle so I wouldn't have to get a rental. He even walked my dog with his lovely pooches and treated us with the utmost respect and such hospitality that I hope I can visit again soon. "

Tim is an awesome host and a great and smart person. It was a pleasure having nice chats with him. At Tim's spot you got a great private space with own beautiful designed bathroom, a great large bed and everything your can wish for. Sidenote: really fast internet connection, which helped much working from Tim's space. The two dogs are gorgeous and so friendly. Thanks Tim! Will definitely book again!

Tim is a down to earth, affable guy who provided a great welcome packet, highlighting everything from restaurants to attractions for our stay. He has two wonderful dogs that added to the experience since my husband and I were homesick for our own. 
When in Austin in the future, we will definitely stay with Tim. Cheers! "

1109489,10696456,2014-03-03,3262688,Lori,"Perfection. Airbnb needs to hire Tim to train Airbnb'ers how to do it right! House and the rented space were wonderful. It goes without saying that it was all just as Tim describes in the listing. He made access to the house very easy and has a very professional book with relevant information - maps, recommendations for local restaurants, etc. He has a warm and welcoming personality. In the morning he made cappuccinos and breakfast for us. We chatted for a while and then got on with out respective days. His 2 dogs couldn't be more friendly and loving. I missed them the moment I left. When I return to Austin you can bet I'll be looking Tim up on Airbnb!"
1109489,11015482,2014-03-17,12356493,Brandon,"Tim's place lives up to the hype. It's great and so is he. His place is inviting and indeed immaculate and he's considerably more generous with his space than you can even convey in an Airbnb ""ad""."

The room was very cozy and had everything we could ask for. The dogs are very friendly and he made us coffee in the morning which was very nice. I would stay with Tim every time I come to Austin! Can't wait to come back here and stay here again."

1109489,12507519,2014-05-04,337404,Brian,"Tim is a wonderful host with a beautiful home. This was my first time staying in a room in someone's house, rather than a separate structure, and I couldn't have had a better experience. Tim keeps an immaculate house, and is simultaneously welcoming and respectful of your privacy and space. The house is in a quiet, pretty neighborhood, and he has done an amazing job renovating it. The room you stay in is perfectly comfortable, with it's own master bath. And make sure to ask Tim about the paintings on the walls - they're by an obscure but talented artist with a great story. In short, for the price he's currently charging, it's a steal of a stay."
1109489,12571184,2014-05-05,8300303,Madeleine,"Tim's home in a gorgeous, centrally located mid-century modern neighborhood near Manor Road bars and restaurants was the perfect place for our one-night stay in town for Austin Psych Fest. His neighborhood street is quiet and peaceful, the backyard is a gorgeous and inviting, and the home is immaculate as advertised with a modern, minimalist vibe and pleasant ambiance. Tim is personable, clean and easy to coordinate with - he even invited us drinks or food as soon as we arrived! We would have loved to chat with Tim longer and go out with him had we not spent all day and night at the festival. I would definitely stay with Tim and Rufus (one of the friendliest, most polite dogs I have ever met) again and will recommend Tim's room to friends!"
1109489,12726835,2014-05-09,1256543,Kimberly,"We had an awesome stay with Tim. He is a very gracious and easy going host. The place is as described. The room is quiet, clean, and nicely furnished with top quality bedding and linens. The bed was very comfortable. Although the location is not downtown it is was easy to get anywhere we needed to go. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family as well.
Rufus and Starky (dogs) were great too."
1109489,13483264,2014-05-28,1025282,Suzanne,"This is one of my all time favorite places and I will surely stay here again if possible.  Tim is the perfect host, friendly, knowledgeable and yet unobtrusive and quiet. The house is stunning, with it's simple elegant decor and comfortable and spacious vibe. The private suite is just a paradise of comfort, nice big bed, bathroom to die for with great towels and amenities. 

The outside yard is a great place to sit and read the paper, enjoy the quiet of birdsong and listen to the breeze ruffle through the trees.

The area is wonderful, very safe and quiet and close enough driving distance to almost everything.  There is a park practically across the street and if you don't want to be brave and find the local coffee food truck then you can always go to Starbucks.

Those who need access to the Dell Children's hospital will find this to be close and convenient.

For me the dogs are the perfect addition to make me feel right at home. Tim is very careful to make sure they behave but they are good dogs, very friendly."
1109489,13744838,2014-06-03,3220783,April,"Our stay with Tim was perfect! He is a very friendly and gracious host, and his dogs make you feel right at home.  His house is in a quiet/safe neighborhood, just a 5-10min drive to downtown, and is just a couple blocks away from Target and Walgreens.  His modern home is beautiful, and the room (with ensuite bathroom) is a perfect size for a traveling couple. The queen bed was probably one of the most comfortable beds we’ve stayed on, and his shower (complete with amenities) is super relaxing after a long day under the sun. Highly recommended! Thanks Tim!"
1109489,14446403,2014-06-19,15932067,Emily,"Tim's place was great! I loved the way he designed his home, and it was interesting to hear about his renovations. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of other cute houses. Expect a ~15 minute drive to most of the neighborhoods/activities near downtown. 

The room I stayed in was very comfortable. I loved the bed and wanted to bring it home with me! 

His dogs are also very friendly and pretty much leave you alone. They also don't really bark (just when you come home for a few seconds). "
1109489,14689780,2014-06-24,4850366,Ruth,"Me and my friend really loved staying at Tim's place. It was a beautiful house, with two friendly dogs. Tim was a great host and we would loved to stay longer. I would definitely recommend him. "
1109489,15032435,2014-07-01,3025600,Virginie,Me and my girlfriend were very pleased by the welcome of Tim. Reallty good host.Great place to stay. Tim's house is designer with taste. Was like home. Even close to everything. It's a win!
1109489,15457986,2014-07-09,14568466,Taylor,"Tim was an excellent host, and couldn't of done a better job. He is very easy going and very flexible with everything you have going on, for example if you are leaving or arriving early from an event, you can come and leave as you can with 0 restrictions. Tim is a very friendly man with overly friendly dogs and i've couldn't of asked him to do a better job, I will be returning next to Tim's home next i'm in Austin. 10/10  "
1109489,16161312,2014-07-22,227339,Helen,Tim's home is absolutely lovely! My partner and I just needed a quiet place to sleep before moving in to our new house. Tim is great and so are his beautiful dogs!
1109489,16876649,2014-08-03,14883583,Holly M,"Tim is a super friendly and welcoming host. Upon our arrival we had pleasure of meeting him, where he invited us for some refreshments and we were chatting for some time. We were surprised next morning by finding fresh pastry ready for us in the kitchen with a lovely note “help yourself to the breakfast”. 

Besides his friendly character,  which really made us feel at  home, I can highlight few points about the place:

- Our room included a very confy bed, multiple fresh sheets and blankets, tv, dresser, and a private bathroom. Everything was clean and organized to perfection (shower gels/conditioners/multiple fresh towels).

- He has two sweet and beautiful dogs that extremely friendly.

- The living room is decorated with his own paintings, I should say a very artistic style!

- the place has a spacious backyard (prefect for a quiet and chill afternoon/evening) + parking spot right next to the house.

 "
1109489,18253540,2014-08-24,18258016,Gareth,"We were emigrating to the US, so for 2 weeks this was our home. Tim was very helpful and accommodating - even though he was at home most of the day, you wouldn't notice and we still had full access to the leaving and kitchen areas. Was made to feel that his home was our home whilst we were there.

Nice selection of breakfast in the morning and handy location to local shops, downtown Austin, I35 and Airport."
1109489,19733069,2014-09-17,2985801,Paul,"Simply put in few words: great host,  super home, clean,  comfortable,  quiet and stylish. Very good location,  with a nice variety of food and drink places close by. You'll be hard pushed to find a more all-round winner of a place to stay. (Just ensure you're cool with two lovely dogs)."
1109489,19953223,2014-09-21,20535842,Nava,"The house and our room were very clean. We had a private bathroom and Tim provided all the amenities including towels, blow drier, soap, shampoo & conditioner, etc. The room also had a ceiling fan which helped keep us cool during the hot and humid TX nights despite the AC.
Tim was very courteous. We did not see much of him since we were there for only a couple of days attending a wedding and so our schedule was quite full. We had access to the entire house including the kitchen and the living room although we had no need for it.
Tim has 2 big and friendly dogs.
I would definitely recommend this bnb and will be back if I return to Austin."
1109489,20710862,2014-10-04,4899970,Phil,"My wife and I stayed at Tim's beautiful home in a quiet residential neighborhood for 4 nights.  This was only our second time using airbnb but, once again, we were thoroughly satisfied with the experience.  At Tim's home we had a beautiful bedroom with attached, updated bathroom.  The bed was exceptionally comfortable (foam or latex mattress).  As noted in Tim's description he has two very sweet dogs.  We are dog-lovers and they are very well-behaved so having the dogs there added to our positive experience.  We had a car and Tim even gave us a remote for the garage door so we could park in the garage.  Tim's backyard is tranquil and provides a pleasant retreat after exploring all the sights and eateries that Austin has to offer (I highly recommend Paco's Tacos located nearby).  I would much rather stay at Tim's home than in a hotel.  I give Tim's ""immaculate suite"" 5 out of 5 stars. ;-)  Thanks Tim."
1109489,20945525,2014-10-08,6617884,Andrea,"The home and room/bath were lovely. It was a great place to return to after busy days at a conference downtown. Tim is a fantastic host (he's around to talk with, but also leaves you to your own purposes/to be in the home on your own). If you are a dog person, you will love his dogs. I definitely recommend Tim and his home for your next Austin stay."
1109489,23199241,2014-11-24,22623621,Matthew,"This was my first experience with Airbnb. It won't be my last!

The place was every bit as nice as the pictures make it out to be. Tim was a great host and very accommodating to my late night schedule. 

His dogs were very friendly. They brought a smile to my face every time they welcomed me at the door.

The neighborhood was very quiet."
1109489,24289878,2014-12-24,25007019,Richard,"My wife and I stayed at Tim's immaculate suite in modern home and it surely was ""immaculate."" 

The bedroom comes with a large closet and an attached modern bathroom, stocked with all the amenities that previous reviewers have mentioned such as shampoo, conditioner, towels, blow dryer, etc. There is also a wall attached TV in the room with too many cable channels to browse, which was not shown in the photo list. Also, as someone mentioned in the other review, the bed is super comfortable. 

Tim was generous and flexible to work with. My wife and I were running behind coming from Dallas and weren't going to be able to meet Tim at the time that we agreed upon. I contacted him through airbnb message and he responded promptly. He was very understanding of our situation and worked with us to accommodate our needs. 

Lastly, Tim has two friendly dogs that are very well-behaved.  I regret not having enough time to hang out with them. This was our first time trying airbnb and we were both thoroughly impressed. We only got to stay one night at Tim's, but we shall return. Thanks for being a great host, Tim."
1109489,24511685,2014-12-29,19606063,Brian,"Tim was very quick to respond to any questions I had about the listing. He welcomed us and introduced us to his two friendly dogs. He then showed us our room as well as the living room and kitchen, and showed us the various amenities we were free to use. The room had a very nice ambience with dimming lights, a TV, and guides to a lot of places to eat and see around Austin. Tim was also kind enough to tell us some of his personal recommendations of places to go. We ended up having a great time in Austin!

The only issue we had was with the heater and vent. Sometimes the heater would turn on and it would be too hot, and other times it would just be the vent and it would be a bit cold."
1109489,25581349,2015-01-19,79021,Kristina,"Tim is an excellent host. He has sweet dogs and super cool modern decor. Lots of privacy, healthy breakfast options and great coffee. Excellent experience. "
1109489,26228928,2015-02-07,26967548,Cecelela,"Tim's home is definitely immaculate. His dogs are very friendly--they surprised me a few times at the door, but very friendly nonetheless. Nice breakfasts and let me cook a couple times. And he composts! First airbnb experience and I'd stay here again. "
1109489,26706742,2015-02-17,3005198,Vinay,"We stayed at Tim's recently for a couple of days. The place was exactly as described, very contemporary, spacious and with its own attached bath. The place is just a 15 min drive to downtown Austin. Tim is a very friendly host who made us feel very welcome at his place. He gave us some good suggestions on things to do in Austin. He also makes really good coffee and what better way to start the day! I would highly recommend his place to anyone traveling to Austin."
1109489,26938821,2015-02-22,27162503,Jeanne,"Tim's home was just as beautiful as described. It was impeccably decorated and extremely clean. I was also impressed that he provided a very nice booklet detailing the nearby attractions. Tim was incredibly welcoming, kind and communicative - I would definitely book with him again. "
1109489,27378366,2015-03-02,28419458,Bonnie,"
We felt right at home at this house! We absolutely love the dogs and the continental breakfast was great. Our room and bathroom were spotless. Tim is a great host with a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood."
1109489,28076648,2015-03-17,5401770,Kerri & Kevin,"What a lovely & very comfy stay at Tim's. Could not have asked for a better host. After long days at SXSW craziness it was wonderful to come home to very friendly, welcoming dogs & a fabulous home to relax Thanks Tim...you are indeed a super host. I will be back. "
1109489,28590192,2015-03-26,24408469,Ean,"Modern house, as advertised. Great friendly dogs. A little bit removed from downtown Austin, but still in an interesting area. Perfect for what we needed, a nice place at a good price with a gracius host. Thanks!"
1109489,28810637,2015-03-30,4943742,Matt,"This was our first AirBnB experience and it was great. Tim's house is exactly as pictured: clean, bright and modern. Our room was comfortable and quiet, it has a private bathroom and the shower is plenty high enough for me (I'm 6' 4""). The two dogs are sweet and quiet, and never bothered us at all even though neither of us is a dog person. 

Tim was a great host. There's none of the awkwardness you might expect staying in the home of someone you've never met, and we both enjoyed all the conversations we had with him whenever our paths would cross. Plus he gets the NY Times delivered, so you can start your day right with coffee and the news of the world. 

The neighborhood is very quiet, with windy streets with a semi-suburban feel, and everyone keeps their places up. We went for a walk one morning and passed very few cars.

All in all, a happy experience. I really can't think of even one complaint. Whenever we next go to Austin I can't imagine that we'll want to stay anywhere else. "
1109489,29716919,2015-04-11,19355999,Arlis,"Between the beautiful home and Tim's engaging personality, we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The accommodations are more than just clean and comfortable; Tim's great style gave us unique design ideas for our own home! Tim's dogs are nothing short of adorable and were great hosts to our own pup. There is a great park just around the corner where I walked our dog in the morning. We enjoyed our stay in Austin and look forward to coming back soon."
1109489,30723503,2015-04-26,5992391,Michael,"We had a great stay at Tim's amazing and immaculate house. Great location in Austin, around 10 minutes driving distance to downtown and 15 minutes driving to South Austin and Barton Springs. It's wonderful after a long day of hanging out in Austin to get to a beautiful and spotlessly clean house and get a good rest to do it again the next day. Tim was a wonderful and generous host and we will definitely stay at Tim's place again next time we are back in ATX."
1109489,30924113,2015-04-29,7026669,Kristin,"Tim's home is indeed immaculate. It's also beautiful and thoroughly comfortable. Tim's thoughtfulness made my friend and I feel totally welcome. The already comfortable bed had pillow options and extra blankets in the closet. The water pressure and temp in the shower felt great. We were invited to adjust the thermostat to our comfort.  Tim also generously gave us free range in the kitchen, offered breakfast and coffee options, and even gave us a parking spot in the garage. We also quickly made friends with the dogs and enjoyed some quiet time on the patio in the fenced in yard. Tim was friendly, fun to talk with and accommodating in every way, including giving us plenty of space to do our own thing. Highly recommended if you're looking for a beautiful, relaxed space in a quiet neighborhood. "
1109489,31999293,2015-05-12,29009889,Rico,"This was out first time in Austin and Tim place was awesome. It was very clean, walking distances to a grocery store, and his dogs are so chill. Tim was not around for most of our stay, but when we did meet him, he was very warm and aware of giving your own space."
1109489,32356303,2015-05-17,30670278,Motoko,Tim's house was our first Airbnb experience. We stayed there for 5 nights and enjoyed the house and the host immensely. The house was very clean throughout and our room was comfy with a private bathroom within our bedroom.  We had plenty of counter space to spread our “stuff.” The house is located 15 minutes to/from downtown Austin (we had a rental car); the commute to the downtown was fairly easy.  Tim’s two dogs are very friendly and they got used to our presence quickly. We will definitely check into Tim’s house if we ever return to Austin!
1109489,33223082,2015-05-26,3443993,Gregory,Tim is a gracious host. The room is in his home as described and the home is beautiful. The neighborhood is wooded and very pretty. It was a convenient location for me and not too far from U.T. His dogs are sweet. It was great to be greeted by them when I returned.
1109489,34159218,2015-06-05,16126621,Danica,"Tim is an outstanding host!  Not only did he make us feel welcome and comfortable, but he went above and beyond to provide us with recommendations for things to do in Austin, TX.  He was also generous, sharing food and drinks with us, and the accommodations were very clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood is quiet, but close to grocery stores, and only about 15 mins (as long as there is no traffic) from downtown, so it's in a great location as well for people who want to enjoy the city, but need a place for retreat at the end of the day.  I would definitely stay here if I visit Austin again.    "
1109489,34901968,2015-06-13,13236850,Anthony,"This private suite has a really comfortable bed, great options for lighting, a quiet and highly efficient ceiling fan and a very clean connected bathroom.  The rest of the home is stylishly modern and comfortable.  My SO and I felt right at home. The location was conveniently close to a grocery store, restaurants and the highway.  Tim was a gracious host and his home is immaculate!  Best part - two sweet dogs that have great manners toward guests. We enjoyed everything about our stay with them and Tim. "

We didn't get to spend too much time at his place since we were there for a conference.  Tim took good care of us and even got us breakfast!  The location is 15 minutes from downtown Austin and there are grocery stores close by.   
1109489,36810258,2015-07-01,14552768,Darren,"Great experience.   Super-nice room in a neat MCM home.  Neighborhood is quiet with good pub options nearby and easy access to the freeway for a quick downtown commute.  Tim was helpful and accommodating (didn't meet him but communicated via text), and his dogs, Rufus and Starky, were super-sweet.  Will definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin.  Send my love to the pups, Tim!"
1109489,38394010,2015-07-15,6981949,Veronica,"Tim is one of the best hosts I have encountered; very warm and welcoming, as are his 2 adorable dogs. He was very accomodating letting me park my car in the garage and helpful with tips and suggestions. His home is well decorated in a contemporary style with colorful artwork. The bed is super comfortable, the clean ensuite bathroom had a lot of counter space and is very nicely appointed with large soft towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. My daughter likes the room to be colder than I do but Tim had extra blankets in the closet so we both were perfectly comfortable. I was able to adjust the vent to keep the room warmer when she left for orientation. There were hangers and an iron/ironing board in the closet. I enjoyed a lot of quiet time reading in the living room or back yard shaded with enormous oak trees. The location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with easy access to the freeway & downtown, barely 10 minutes to UT, good restaurants nearby. It is so nice to come back from a hectic day to the peace of the house and be greeted by dogs wagging their tails! Thank you, Tim for being a gracious, understanding host.  I enjoyed getting to know you and hope to be able to stay again for future visits to my longhorn!"
1109489,40776295,2015-08-02,36878997,Emily,"Tim was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome and comfortable in his home! The room I stayed it was lovely, with a beautiful ensuite bathroom. It was walking distance from where I was attending a conference, and is also very close to some restaurants in the neighbourhood. I would certainly stay here again when I am back in Austin next! "
1109489,41964438,2015-08-10,14568466,Taylor,"This is my second time staying with Tim, he made me feel at home, and I love what he has done with the new renovations since the last time I stayed. Very Friendly, would highly recommend you stay with him."

The location was clean and safe and just a short ride to downtown (about ten minutes). I highly recommend Tim and his lovely home. "
1109489,44532154,2015-08-27,5992783,Lara,"I have stayed in 8 air bnb's and Tim has so been my favourite by a mile. Tim was soooooo welcoming, his home was soooo nice, so modern and very clean! The bedroom was spacious and having your own ensuite was great! We really felt like home and Tim was always up for a chat! Tim is very easy going and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves always. We wish we could have stayed longer, We will stay here again for sure. Great host and even greater person! 
PS his dogs are the sweetest, wanted to take them home with us! Thanks again Tim :) "
1109489,45029783,2015-08-30,14115852,Rose,Tim's home is beautifully renovated and is really as excellent as he describes it. He made us feel very welcomed and had a parking spot in the driveway for our vehicle. Beautiful mature trees in the back yard provide a great area to sit out and have morning coffee. The bedroom suite was great with a big closet and I love when there's a ceiling fan in the bedroom and lots of towels in the bath! This location is so close to any type of store needed and to a lot of restautants. The puppies are friendly and quiet. I look forward to staying again!
1109489,47078690,2015-09-15,1675304,Karen,"The house is really wonderful and Tim is a really smart, well-traveled, interesting person. The location is next to Mueller -- a new up and coming hip area. Tim made the stay very comfortable with everything you might need and delicious, generous breakfasts. The value of this airbnb is outstanding."

1109489,51402304,2015-10-19,46503949,Kay,"Tim was delightful -- very easy to talk with, and a thoughtful provider of just the things a traveler needs: a coffeepot all set to go in the morning, pastries on the counter, a newspaper available. "
1109489,52022436,2015-10-25,45328833,Neil,If you are staying Austin do yourself a favor and stay with Tim. His house is very clean and recently remodeled. You will have a private room and bathroom with all the amenities you will need. Tim provides a healthy fresh breakfast and has many great recommendations. His house is in a newly developed area so many of the businesses are brand new around his house. It is short drive to downtown and I found the location perfect. This was my best air bnb experience so far. 
263905,860758,2012-01-13,651992,Meghan,"this house is seriously incredible. if i could, i'd give it 6 stars. i wish we were able to stay longer! joe couldn't have been a better host. he was so easy to communicate with and responsive, and made our time in austin perfect. i'd highly recommend staying here!

i'm still dreaming about the amazing kitchen and bathroom, both of which had brand new appliances - and the house is so cute and bright! it was spotless when we arrived, and we couldn't have been more comfortable.

it's also located in a great neighborhood - nice and quiet and residential, but so close to great restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. seriously the perfect place to crash while you're exploring all the awesomeness austin has to offer. 

if you're coming to austin and you're not staying here, then you're making a huge mistake! can't wait to come back."
263905,941613,2012-02-22,1603659,Samantha,"This house was amazing! The pictures do no do it justice. Very modern and was plenty of room for the 6 of us! It is right in the heart of s congress. we were able to walk to all the local S. Congress restaurants & shops without any problem. 

Joe was fantastic and answered any question we had, along with helpful info on places to eat, drink, and shop. Would love to rent this place again! "
263905,998653,2012-03-14,1429755,Peter,"I booked this home for the group I attended SXSWi with and it could not have been a better fit for our need. It's in a great location just minutes from downtown and the South Congress area is a wonderful 'hood on its own. The house is in great shape and Joe was a most excellent host...in fact he actually gave me and my business partner a ride down to the conference area after we had left our vehicle downtown the night before. 

I could go into specifics, but all in all the house is very much ""what you see is what you get"" in a really good way. I'm planning to visit again and would book here as a 1st choice."
263905,1015905,2012-03-19,1400030,Alexandra,"Our stay at Joe's house was an absolute delight.  The house is gorgeous, and was perfect for our vacation.  The bathrooms are very big, which made getting ready simple, even for 6 women :)  The location is also great- 2 blocks to South Congress, which is a great part of Austin.  We typically walked downtown during the day (takes about 20-30 min, but with plenty of restaurants, bars and shops on the way) and took cabs back at night.  It was very convenient and it was always a pleasure to come back to this quiet house after the longs days of SXSW.

Joe was also wonderful.  He stopped by to introduce himself and was very pleasant.  He was very easy to contact and any questions we had were promptly answered with a text.  The check in/out was very simple and he was accommodating to all of our needs.  We will definitely stay here again on out next trip to Austin.  This is the 4th house in Austin that I have booked or stayed in through Air bnb and it was buy far the best experience."
263905,1043793,2012-03-26,1751850,Katie,"We loved staying at Joe's place...so close to everywhere we wanted to be!  The house was very clean, and had more than enough room for the 6 of us.  Would definitely recommend!"
263905,1071652,2012-04-02,1725670,Cora,"Wow, what a great place! The house is beautiful, clean, and spacious, and you can't beat the location. Joe was great to work with- so laid back and everything was very hassle-free! Highly recommend it, I hope to stay here again in the future!"
263905,1107047,2012-04-10,622584,Paivi,"Joe's house was very comfortable and neat. Additionally, the location was great in view of all the amenities on South Congress. Our group consisted of fou adults, one teenager, one baby and a small dog, all of whom the house accommodated with ease. I would love to stay at Joe's house again."
263905,1142289,2012-04-17,1696127,Bernard,"Joe's bungalow is fantastically situated for tthose travellers wanting to stay in or near the South Congress neighbourhood.
It is close to many food options and nightlife on S. Congress, and not far from supermarkets, CVS, or 7 Eleven petrol.
Almost everything a traveller needs is in Joe's bungalow. The 2 bathrooms were great to share amongst the 5 of us. It has a modern kitchen and bathroom, and plenty of room to spread out and beats a hotel any day!
We got parking on the street for 2 cars every night. Wireless Internet is available but has best reception when used from the back porch. The beds were comfortable, and we had plenty of towels made available.
I would highly recommend this property and would stay there again next time we are in Austin."
263905,1179963,2012-04-25,1714648,Colleen,My guests very much enjoyed staying at Joe's home!
263905,1201297,2012-04-30,440432,Ayn,Great place. Beautifully decorated. We LOVED the shower in the first bathroom. The 4 of us had a great weekend at the bungalow.
263905,1240126,2012-05-07,2035041,Darin,"The house is as advertised. Spacious, with modern Ikea finishes throughout the house and a great location (although best with a car). You will particularly love the rain shower in the master bathroom, and the brand new washer and dryer. The bungalow can easily accommodate 6 guests or more. Although we were not loud, do keep in mind the house is located on a residential street, best to keep neighbors in mind should you find yourself involved in late night parties. Joe was one step away, but never intruded. I highly recommend this property if looking for a base to explore Austin."
263905,1326039,2012-05-22,1657684,Melissa Anne,"The house was great, within walking distance to a food truck park, other restaurants and cute shops/boutiques. The house was perfect. Very chic decoration, and modern amenities. Joe was very responsive if we needed anything! I would definitely stay here again! "
263905,1374273,2012-05-29,1813454,Amanda,"First off if you're considering visiting Austin, do it! It completely exceeded my expectations.  What a fun city filled with delicious food, a fun going-out scene, and Barton Springs.  Secondly, I highly recommend staying at this place.  It is a wonderful house with a lot of modern renovations, comfortable beds, beautiful kitchen and the location is perfect.  Also, the house was super clean.  I really enjoyed staying here and will definitely try to rent it again on future trips to Austin.   "
263905,1405376,2012-06-03,2244177,Luke,"Joe was a great host - everything we needed was taken care of in advance, and during the stay he just left us to our own devices (after making sure we knew where to reach him if we needed anything). The house was clean and comfortable and a great place to spend a couple of days. Would visit again!"
263905,1619666,2012-07-03,2063376,Noni,"6 of us stayed here for 4 nights. We loved the neighborhood and the house was equipped with anything you would want: food staples, a stereo with a cable to plug in iPod/iPhone, basic toiletries and towels. We were in town for a wedding and Joe responded very quickly when we needed an iron. Would definitely stay here again. "
263905,2532465,2012-10-07,361933,Theo,"Great pad in a stellar location. Joe was a great host and the place was dialed. Would stay there again not questions asked.
"
263905,2679203,2012-10-22,3284843,Victoria,We had a fantastic time staying for the weekend. The photos are 100% accurate and the location can't be beat. The bungalow is charming and has great modern amenities. The neighborhood was really quiet and we would rent this place again in a heartbeat. 
263905,2874668,2012-11-13,2629886,Tse,"Great place.  Fantastic location.  5 minute walk to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, food trucks, bars, convenience stores, etc.  The place itself is on a beautiful and quiet tree-lined street.  After a night out, it was wonderful to come home to this peaceful retreat and get a good night sleep on the super comfy beds and take amazing showers in the spotless and well stocked bathrooms.  Two great outdoors spaces for hanging out and enjoying the cool evening air.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!!!"
263905,3813130,2013-03-18,556943,Niki,"Joe was a WONDERFUL host, so accomodating. He even offered to accept a Zappos shoe shipment for me! that's special. The bungalow is spotless, spacious and adorable. Amazing location, so close to some of my favorite shops and restaurants in Austin. I would definitely stay here again - the only bummer is that there seems to be construction happening right next door, which starts at 8am. "

"
263905,10651196,2014-03-01,10535266,Steven,"I really enjoyed this place!  The location was excellent, and the house was clean and spacious.  The beds were kind of low, but they were very comfortable.  I slept like a baby!  I had no problem finding parking on the right in front of the house.  The private patio in the back was a plus!  "

263905,11249439,2014-03-26,2414252,Todd,"Wonderful and stress-free experience staying here. Place was perfect for two couples providing both privacy and socializing areas. Kitchen was plenty large and can easily hold twice as many without feeling too cramped.
Location was wonderful and is a block away from South Congress. Street is quiet in the evening. There is construction right next door with new town homes but the noise during the day was manageable.
I will be putting this on my short list of places to stay in next Austin trip."
263905,11997525,2014-04-21,2928164,Kirstin,"Absolutely nothing negative to say about this sweet 2-bedroom... I especially appreciated the property management setup -- one of the easier I've ever worked with. Was worried about finding street parking, but it wasn't a problem. Appreciated the soaps/shampoo/conditioner stocked in the bathroom. "
263905,12414209,2014-05-01,13872090,Richard,I was in Austin for three days for business.  I wanted to be able to experience all the benefits of the SoCo area and hotels were ridiculously expensive.  Renting this bungalow was a perfect answer to my dilemma the place was clean and it was accessible to everything on South Congress.  I highly recommend this place and will stay here again.
263905,22317456,2014-11-03,19906614,Adam,"Everything about the property was correctly described. The house had all we needed and was very comfortable (two couples), really well situated to walk to the South Congress restaurants and shops etc.

Will certainly consider staying here again in the future.

We met Joe on the first evening and he is a very friendly guy."

I was a bit concerned about not having parking before I got there, but I never had an issue finding street parking basically right in front of the house. I highly recommend staying here for your austin home away from home. "
263905,29633460,2015-04-10,28511905,Kelly,A wonderful house in the perfect location! Very clean and comfortable...exactly as described.

My host were wonderful and took extra care to make sure I had everything I needed while respecting my privacy.
The unit is beautiful and well appointed.
Would stay here again!"
5458846,34201607,2015-06-06,12098543,Melisssa,"This is a great place to stay when in Austin. It is on the South East side in a up and coming area. You have many places to eat within walking distance and if you want to go to downtown it is a 6 dollar uber ride. The host are very friendly people who are available whenever you need them. If ever I had a question they both were on top of my concerns and very fast to fix any issues, if any.   The house has two rooms fully furnished with a large back patio. It also has a security system installed for your piece of mind. It is a quite neighborhood at night but close enough to many local areas such as SOCO or SOLA. I would stay here again if I ever returned to Austin. "
5458846,50163882,2015-10-10,36299801,Allister,"Excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. The house is great, even better in person than in the photos! 
Great location close to Congress and 6th street. 
I had a fantastic time. "
6316186,32097915,2015-05-13,22671158,Shagun,"Gail was a wonderful hostess! She was there when I arrived and around to chat about where to go in Austin but then allowed me privacy. The room and house were very clean and pictures accurately represented the space. It was about a 15 minute drive to downtown Austin. Gail though went above and beyond to make me feel welcome by leaving miscellaneous helpful items in the room like shampoo, Advil, snacks, and a bottle of water. I truely enjoyed my stay. "
6316186,32215909,2015-05-15,4452506,Jeff,Stayed here twice and had a great experience. She is a gracious hostess and made sure I has everything I needed. Her home is beautifully decorated and the bedroom is spacious with a comfy bed. Central location and a quiet neighborhood.
6316186,32302016,2015-05-16,4452506,Jeff,Gail was a wonderful host in a beautifully decorated home.  The location makes getting around easy. The bed is comfortable and a you'll get a quiet nights sleep. I highly recommend staying here.

6316186,33559195,2015-05-29,21295911,Cody,"Gail was one of the most hospitable and kindest hosts I've ever had. If I ever come back to Austin I will absolutely stay here again. Gail has considerately turned her beautiful home into an upscale hotel room complete with everything you need. Don't look any further, this is the best place for the money.  "
6316186,34042617,2015-06-03,416720,Maggie,"Great neighborhood and convenient location. Galit (Gail) was attentive, but gave me space to come and go, which I appreciated. The whole place felt clean and open, and there's great natural light in the room. I also liked the ""extras,"" which included a number of toiletries. Would definitely recommend.  "
6316186,34170824,2015-06-05,27471016,Michelle,"If you are looking for a comfy ""feel at home"" place that is central to just about anything you'd want to do while in Austin, this is the perfect place for you. Gail makes you feel right at home as soon as you arrive. She was so accomodating and gracious providing anything I needed including extra toiletries in case I had forgotten any. She was helpful if I had any questions about the area and she was great about giving me my privacy as well. I had a wonderful stay here and would definitely stay here again :)"
6316186,34486432,2015-06-08,34279091,Marla,"The listing was accurate & perfectly suited our needs: a comfortable room in a quiet neighborhood: very neat home with a lovely fenced backyard for the dog. We enjoyed meeting & spending time w/our host. Location is awesome  (minutes from Central Market, Whole Earth, a green store, movie theaters)"
6316186,50615929,2015-10-13,22911176,Alvaro,"The room was perfect! It was all I needed for my short stay in Austin, this is conveniently located about 10-15 min away from Zilker Park (ACL).. Very independent and quiet, Gail left very clear instructions and was always checking in to make sure everything was ok :) thanks!"
5104248,28091725,2015-03-17,20944238,Liza,"This house was so perfect! Absolutely gorgeous inside just like the pictures, clean, and really accessible to great places in Austin. Stephen was easy to communicate with and really pleasant."
5104248,28285966,2015-03-21,2821780,Nic,"My coworkers and I used Stephen's place as a home base for our SXSW experience  and it was perfect for us! Clean, comfortable, conveniently located and full of modern furnishing and amenities. Stephen himself was a great host. Friendly and responsive. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!"
5104248,28750010,2015-03-29,11959352,Alex,An amazing house! We'll definitely be back. 
5104248,31682897,2015-05-08,12178367,Casey,"Five friends and I had a great experience at Stephen's. The location is great with easy access to downtown, South Austin, and Rainey. The place itself was great inside; everything was new, and the technology (TVs, gaming systems, security systems, etc.) were impressive. 

As a host, Stephen was informative, stayed in touch, and was helpful througout the process. 

I would recommend this place to anyone."
5104248,32088985,2015-05-13,2787726,Ange,"Stephen's place was great! I would definitely stay here again without hesitation next time were in Austin.

Why its awesome:
* exactly (if not better) than advertised - its a beautiful cozy space with great character
* super tech'd out (Nest, keypad entry, USB power plugs, bodum pour over coffee maker to satisfy our immediate coffee needs)
* in a fantastic neighborhood, great culture and super tasty eats
* Stephen was very easy responsive and easy to communicate with 

I highly recommend the place to anyone interested."
5104248,32284181,2015-05-16,32773887,Rickey,"The best airbnb experience i've had so far! The house was decked out with all of the latest technology and was perfect for a relaxing weekend in Austin. Filled with the latest gadgets, this place was amazing to stay in. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy and comfortable stay. "
5104248,32372090,2015-05-17,25520804,Jacqueline,Modern yet cozy house-- this place was perfect for my birthday weekend get away in Austin with my girlfriends. Spacious couch for lounging & a cute outdoor patio area! Beds were super comfy as well. Definitely recommend this place to others!
5104248,34264659,2015-06-06,26768421,Jarett,"Fantastic SOCO area home. Ultra comfortable, super high tech and very accommodating host. Great screened porch and backyard space in a great location!!"
5104248,34512076,2015-06-08,28364634,Deryk,"Steven's place was immaculately kept, exactly as pictured and much more charming in person. Luxury bath fixtures and kitchen appliances. Top of the line electronics and home security. Comfy beds and cozy linens. Easy communication. WOULD STAY AGAIN!"
5104248,36549667,2015-06-29,18164061,Lisa,"Stephen's house was perfect for our stay in Austin! The pictures are very accurate and the house is even better in person, very clean and comfortable.

5104248,36932209,2015-07-02,12372429,Nisha,Excellent stay at Stephen's house! The place was spotless with beautiful decor; it looks exactly like the pictures. Stephen has put a lot of effort into making his home perfectly functional and fabulous for any guest.
5104248,37020048,2015-07-03,34749593,Jason,"This was a great experience and the place is as cools as depicted in pictures.  Stephen was very accommodating to our last minute reservation and very responsive to any requests.  The location is in a nice quiet neighborhood yet close enough to downtown Austin and South Congress street.  This apartment is great for adults and families as well.  Overall, an excellent place to stay."

5104248,37508515,2015-07-07,36485238,Jenny,"I stayed here with my family for the vacation we had. It was exactly decorated like the picture displayed online. The house was clean, trendy, and cozy. Stephen was extremely polite and was able to reply to my questions in timely manner. It was my first experience with Airbnb and I loved every aspect of it!  If I visit Austin again, I'll definitely visit again!"
5104248,37682310,2015-07-09,29654230,Albert,"Stephen was very welcoming and was quick to reply when we had questions. The place is exactly as described and actually even better in person. Pictures don't do his place justice. It's an awesome house. The neighborhood was awesome, and most of the things we wanted to do were within a 10 minute drive. The double shower in the master bathroom is amazing. Every room also has a huge tv with tons of channels. "
5104248,38005001,2015-07-12,33515446,Madelyn,"This was the perfect place to stay for our girls trip! Stephen was so helpful and was always reachable via text or call.

5104248,39821607,2015-07-26,16055068,Javier,"Stephen's house was in a great location, and had all of the amenities we wanted for our weekend stay. His house was very comfortable and equipped for the Texas heat. Stephen was available for any questions we had, and we enjoyed our stay. We'd definitely recommend his listing!"
5104248,41999897,2015-08-10,15065070,Gopika,"This place was awesome! Lovely quiet neighborhood with lots of trees, excellent location (a stone's throw from a ton of food trucks and several restaurants). The house is super comfortable, clean, modern, and well equipped with all sorts of gadgets and entertainment - a PS4, cable/Netflix etc, some games like Cards Against Humanity, a cornhole/beanbag toss set in the backyard. We ended up spending a night in at the house instead of going out, just to enjoy being there! My favorite part is definitely the screened in sunroom/back patio. There is ample seating and on a cool night you can sleep out there (there's an overhead fan as well). The host is very accessible...he left detailed instructions/tips and proactively reached out to make sure we were doing okay. Would 100% stay here again!!"
5104248,45797964,2015-09-06,11107162,Bianca,"We could not have felt more at home at Stephen’s lovely home off SoCo. It’s a terrific spot -- walking distance from a grocery and a hop and a skip away from some of Austin’s hottest food trucks, as well as one of my favorite austin restaurants, Elizabeth Street Café. An uber Downtown will cost you about $12 and you’re a quick drive from Barton Springs/ Zilker Park as well as South Congress. It’s truly a great location.

As if the location was not enough, the house is perfect. Stephen has decorated the place with a lot of attention. And he has made it incredibly comfortable and welcoming for guests. It has all the amenities you can ask for — a dishwasher, washing machine, spacious showers, sheets, towels, game systems, speakers, the whole nine yards. The yard is even equipped with a grill and a picnic table and if it weren’t for the Texas heat we definitely would have taken advantage of the spacious back patio. 

I definitely recommend Stephen’s and would hands down love to stay here again."
5104248,46094806,2015-09-07,11744286,Gabby,Lovely home and great location. Would stay here again.  
5104248,47524943,2015-09-20,38477440,Kimberly,Stephen is a fantastic host and we loved his place. The house is incredibly well decorated and the enclosed patio area was great. The area was also wonderful. We will definitely be staying here if we come to Austin again! 
5104248,47682302,2015-09-21,1990096,Frederik,"Stephen's place was fantastic. From the location to the decor, the cleanliness and the spaciousness--it is the perfect place to spend a long weekend in Austin. There's a completely stocked kitchen if you like making your own meals and, for breakfast, the Thai cafe down the street sells nice dark roasts to complement any brunch. 

As an aside: if you're active (like the majority of Austinites seem to be) there's a park along the river that is easily accessible by foot (10-15 mins walking or 3-5 running) where you can run, walk, paddleboard or kayak. The house is also a ~30 minute walk to Congress bridge where a couple million bats reside. 

All in all, a great stay!"
5104248,48703901,2015-09-28,39625297,Jason,"House was in the perfect location for what I was looking for. Additionally, the house was exactly as shown in the photos. Host was super responsive to questions. I would recommend Stephen's house for anyone traveling to Austin."
5104248,49175678,2015-10-01,4768956,Sean And Laura,"Stephen was a very friendly and great host. His apartment is great and has a nice back garden, plus a fully stocked kitchen. He has really cool technology too including two massive televisions which are great for watching movies. He even let us check out later than the official check-out time so we didn't have to carry our suitcases around town for three hours. We had a great stay in Austin and would thoroughly recommend staying at Stephen's house. "
5104248,49659032,2015-10-05,24423210,Aris,"Stephen was extremely accommodating through out the process and especially with letting us check in a few hours earlier than usual. His place is just as described and just as beautiful as the pictures depict. The remodeling he has done is exceptional and really adds character to an older house like that. It was also very clean and neat. We spent most of our time at ACL and the house was only a 25 minute walk or so from the festival which was great! The neighborhood is very nice as well, really peaceful. Overall we had a great time and I would highly recommend the property to anyone visiting Austin that is looking for a calm weekend away from home."
5104248,51198960,2015-10-18,45723829,William,Better than advertised.  Stephen made it extremely easy to arrive and leave and the house could not have been better.  We will remember his house next time we come to town with friends.
5104248,51886368,2015-10-25,33238784,Courtney,"Stephen's house in Bouldin far exceeds any expectations you might have! The house itself is beautifully decorated. You feel like you're in a colorful, boutique hotel, with the added bonus of a full kitchen, and the location could not be more convenient. We Ubered around the city from the campus area for football, to downtown, and all over for great food. None of our rides were more than $12.00. 

Stephen did everything to make our stay easy and enjoyable He was even available to text me back immediately when I was having issues getting in to the house late at night. (Totally user error, btw!) 

The house was prepped immaculately and the house manual was super helpful with local recommendations for food and convenience. I'd recommend this location to anyone who wants to experience Austin in all of it's glory! It has it all: culture, location, cool factor, and southern hospitality. Keep Austin Weird Y'all! "
7821332,43200745,2015-08-17,24692655,Kenneth,Rohit was an excellent host ! Plus if your lucky he' ll cook for you! The house is new and the room is very comfy. He has plenty of amenities just in case you forgot something like Tooth paste or shampoo . I'd definitely stay there again!
7821332,43458084,2015-08-19,959076,Renee,"Rohit and his family were excellent hosts. Rohit's mom welcomed us and made us feel right at home. They even provided snacks and a shelf in the fridge. The room and bathroom were comfortable and clean, and the house is an oasis of calm. The area is very quiet and pleasant and convenient to everything. We hope to stay with Rohit and his great family the next time we're Austin bound. Thank you for a wonderful stay."
7821332,44070589,2015-08-23,17844495,Stacie,"I had a very pleasant stay at Rohit's. Very clear communication leading up to my stay. He was more than accommodating and very generous (thank you for always offering dinner). His home was nice and clean. Also, a nice new home in a gated community. Was easy to get to main roads (I was driving). Would certainly recommend Rohit's place. "
7821332,44850385,2015-08-29,42139925,Edward,"We spent 6 nights at Rohit's and everything went perfect. The house is very very clean, the room is very very spacious. You can use the all kitchen and share some recipes with Rohit's mother.  It's a good place to stay at, so go ahead and book it."
7821332,47310961,2015-09-17,40814671,David,"Fantastic... house and room were very clean. Room was set up like a 5 star hotel with a basket full of cookies and drinks. Bathroom was right next to the room, giving me a full privacy! Rohit and I quickly became good friends. Rohit's mom is such a wonderful person. She was making every effort to make my stay as comfortable. Forget Hilton, this is the place you want to be if you are in town. "
7821332,48929003,2015-09-29,22777172,Marco Aurelio,"Rohit and his family are great hosts. The house is very clean and confortable. neighborhood is also great, peaceful and close to downtown.
Strongly recommend this accommodation."
1157317,8755422,2013-11-16,3001680,Ryan,"Great place to stay at, Ryan was extremely helpful with spots to visit, eat and drink at as well.  Great location, centrally located, we loved it and will definitely go back.  Thank you Ryan!!"
1157317,9550536,2014-01-02,8774579,Ankur,"The good: Ryan was very communicative. The location is great. The place easily sleeps 3 couples and 3 singles.

The bad:
1) The place may sleep 9, but it literally seats 3 in the living room. There's no couch at all. 
2) The place may sleep 9, but it showers 2.5 people. Halfway through the second shower the water was ice cold. We had two bookings next to each other and the maintenance man came and said that the hot water heater was not adequate for the amount of people we had. Yes, we were way under the limit on the Airbnb listing.
3) The communication afterwards didn't make it seem like he was able to assist us financially for the trouble. It is currently in Airbnb resolutions, but we were hoping to not have to get there.

If the heater gets fixed and there's a couch, I can't find a reason this wouldn't be a great place to stay. Otherwise, move on to another complex."
1157317,9955413,2014-01-21,10652642,Benet,Ryan was very responsive and communicative.  The apartment was great for the birthday trip I planned for a group of friends: centrally located and big enough for all 8 of us to fit comfortably. 
1157317,10036897,2014-01-27,9484452,Jonathan,"Great place, great location and great host. Very responsive and easy to communicate with. Everything was as described and in good condition.  Location is perfect for a weekend in Austin. Highly recommended. "
1157317,10153055,2014-02-03,1384774,Andrew,Ryan was a great host and provided lots of details for us in advance of our stay. He was also very patient while we explored options and asked about various parts of town. I'd certainly recommend staying at one of his properties!
1157317,10380120,2014-02-17,10488223,Amber,"The Cosmo was a great place to stay--it's the closest you can get to the convention center, which was perfect for my group's needs.  The keyless entrypad was ideal for our group as we had different schedules--no worrying about passing around a key. I will note that the three single beds are up in the loft, and it can be a bit loud for people sleeping up there if there are others still awake and talking in the living room/dining room. This probably wouldn't be a problem if you have a group of people who are 1) quiet at night or 2) have the same schedule. 

Ryan was responsive to all emails/texts.

This location can't be beat--very easy access to both 6th street and the jogging trail. We walked to the Capitol one afternoon. And the bus stop for the airport is literally across the street. Super convenient location! "
1157317,11705807,2014-04-13,3733124,Toni,"Ryan is a friendly and helpful host, helped quickly with any query. Apartment is lovely filled with nice touches (toiletries), 9 of us slept comfortably in it. So close to the nightlife but also quiet! Thank you for the great stay in Austin!"
1157317,12005712,2014-04-21,440130,Naveen,"Ryan's listing was as advertised. My friends and I had a great time, the apartment is spacious, clean and very conveniently located. Ryan is a very helpful host, and gave us a lot of tips for stuff unrelated to the apartment,  to make our stay more fun. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone traveling to Austin."
1157317,12267859,2014-04-28,8822162,Tera,"The Cosmo was the perfect place to stay for our girls bachelorette party weekend! The condo was spacious enough to house 8-10 women! We loved the way it was decorated! Nice TVs in every room. Plenty of towels and bedding for our large group. The keyless entry was great for us to come and go at different times.
The location was right in the heart of downtown Austin! We hit up the river running path every morning and the Starbucks across the street from the condo got lots of business from us :-) We walked and took rig-shaws to many different bars and restaurants!

The community pool was a bit smaller than we had hoped. but it did get direct sunlight between the hours of 11-3 so our pale Chicago bodies enjoyed that :-)

Ryan recommended taking the bus to and from the airport and it was very convenient -- the stop is right across the street from the condo!
Ryan was a very responsive host and answered all of our questions before our trip so we were prepared and ready for a great experience!

We would totally recommend this property and will keep it in mind for our next trip to Austin!
"
1157317,12816451,2014-05-12,11353299,Andrew,"We had 9 in our group and it worked really nicely, especially because we had a few couples and a few singles. Ryan was quick to respond with all forms of communication, and the location couldn't be better. Easy walk to everything we wanted to do, and a 25 dollar cab fare from the airport because we didn't wait for the shuttle (some did and had a less than stellar, but ok experience).  The only awkward part of the condo is with as many beds to accommodate a group, the main room is not that large and makes hanging out in the communal area a bit funny, but no big deal. I'd gladly recommend or stay there again. "
1157317,13403317,2014-05-27,12131807,Marsha,The Cosmo was in the perfect location to all the activity on 6th street.  Ryan was quick to reply to any questions we had.  The accommodations were spectacular.  Beautiful condo.  
1157317,14949516,2014-06-30,12611290,Jason,Rented this place for a group of 10 visiting Austin for a bachelor party. Ryan and his group were very accommodating in helping us check-in early and check-out late. Place was clean and came as advertised. They even offered to to assist in making arrangements for dinner and daytime activities. I would highly recommend Ryan to any group visiting Austin in the future!
1157317,17357143,2014-08-11,17299278,Daniel,Exactly as advertised and exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Ryan!
1157317,18398544,2014-08-26,14156385,Julie Rose,"Stayed here for my best friend's bachelorette getaway. Beautiful space and perfect downtown location!

Booking process was easy and response time was fast. Ryan was great at responding to all the questions that I had.

Thomas was our contact person while we were in austin. He was wonderful! Came to our rescue a couple of times and was able to help us with everything we needed. 

Really fell in love with Austin, will definitely be coming back and would love to stay at any of Ryan's properties!"
1157317,19998218,2014-09-22,12002436,Kerry,"We had a wonderful experience at the condo! It was in a great location, within walking distance of 6th and Rainey as well as South Congress. Ryan was great throughout the entire process and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "
1157317,22892972,2014-11-17,22080760,Hyechung,"Overall, the loft was very nice and clean (I was very happy to see how clean it was), but though it says that it can fit 12 people comfortably, I would have to disagree, particularly if you plan to hang out in the loft. It can definitely sleep 9 people with comfort, though, and the accommodations are good. The location is probably the best thing about this space. It is right near everything - 6th Street, Rainey Street, etc. My group pretty much walked everywhere.  It was also easy to get to from the airport, especially with the shuttle. 

Ryan was very good about communicating with me, and Thomas also was very quick to respond during my stay when I had a question. Though I didn't have issues while I was there, it was good to know that I would be helped quickly if I did. I was also grateful to receive activity recommendations as it was my first time in the city. I would definitely use this option, again, if I had a chance, just with a smaller group. "
1157317,23692246,2014-12-08,21932148,Kristina,"Great location! Walking distance to everything...great bars, restaurants, clubs, etc. The space was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay again on my next trip to Austin. "
1157317,24941262,2015-01-04,1024128,Katrina,This condo is in a prime location.  Right across the street from the convention center and 2 blocks from the 6th ave nightlife in downtown Austin.  The unit is furnished with a modern flare.  All of the beds are very comfy.  There are 3 queen bedrooms and a loft area which has 3 twin long twin beds.  It is a great place to call home base for a group looking to party it up in the city.  We spent 4 nights there over New Years and had an absolute blast.  Check in/out was very easy.  They have a place to drop bags if you get there early as well.  The host was very helpful and friendly.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to party with a big group in Austin.
1157317,25724727,2015-01-24,20606891,Tim,Ryan and Thomas were absolutely amazing!  Thomas made sure we were very comfortable during our stay.  There was a miscommunication at the time of booking but it was quickly resolved when we arrived and we felt at home immediately upon our arrival.  Do yourself a favor and book with these guys!  They are also HOA certified in Austin which is a huge plus for Airbnb.
1157317,26054175,2015-02-02,20622101,Julie,"Ryan was a very gracious host.  I emailed him prior to my arrival, asking him questions about the condo, the area, even restaurant suggestions - and he was terrific.  He was very responsive and helpful.   Most importantly, the condo was great.  I hosted a bachelorette party for my sister - 8 people in total - and everyone was impressed by the space (even the high-maintence girls!!!).  

When we arrived, we were mistakingly left with only 2  roles of toilet paper, and when I reached out to Ryan, more toilet paper was delivered to the condo within 30 minutes.   I would recommend this condo to any group looking for a great place in an amazing location.  "
1157317,26596535,2015-02-16,21787850,Emily,"The Cosmo was an unbelievable location! Walking distance to many great bars (Rainey St) and restaurants. On a lovely day, its a delightful walk to South Congress. Ryan and his team were wonderful to work with -- they accommodate some little requests for us that helped to make it a great stay. I give that team 5 stars! The condo itself was pretty fun -- we enjoyed the ridiculous chairs in the living room (ridiculous in a good way!) and the ample space throughout. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the Austin-y decor. Our only complaint was that the complex and area surrounding the condo was pretty active, and therefore pretty loud. It didn't feel like there was a lot (or any) insulation from outside noises. Otherwise, an absolutely fabulous stay!"
1157317,26998472,2015-02-23,26164048,Matt,"Great home! Great location! Great City!  Great host!  

My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ryan's home in downtown Austin.  Everything was within walking distance or a short uber ride away.  Ryan was extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the whole process.  We'll definitely book with him next time we visit the city.  5 Star service! "
1157317,27641232,2015-03-09,25010021,Cory,"The place is great for a large group. We fit 12 adult men without issue. Ryan had three air mattresses, linens and an air pump ready to accommodate our large group. The location is perfect to walk around Austin and enjoy daytime activities and the night life. If I did the same trip again I would book this same unit in a heartbeat. Also the keypad access instead of keys made it easy to access for all individuals in our group. Ryan and his business partner were responsive to texts/calls over the weekend. The place was great for our group, nothing else needs to be said."
1157317,28774750,2015-03-30,23349441,Leslie,"Ryan was an amazing host.  He provided a very detailed introductory letter detailing all activities, neighborhoods, transportation, etc. that helped get our group set up in Austin.  We rented two units (side by side) and both units exceeded everyone's expectations!  They were decorated beautifully and were more spacious than expected from the pictures.  There was also a full linen closet and toiletries were stocked.  At one point during the weekend, we had a maintenance request.  I called the host and within 30 minutes we had someone at our door fixing the issue.  I would highly recommend both units.  The location was great - if you couldn't walk to where you needed to get an uber was always within a minute or two and was a very cheap mode of transport for the weekend.  The units were beautiful.  And the host was courteous and responsive.  "
1157317,29263869,2015-04-06,6355625,Ashley,"The Cosmo at the Convention center was a great place stay! We had 12 people stay here for a weekend, and there was plenty of space for everyone. The location was excellent, and Ryan and Thomas were especially helpful with accommodating an early check-in and late check-out. I would highly recommend staying here for someone looking to host a big group of people!"
1157317,30048092,2015-04-16,30772418,Allyn,The host provided instant feedback from the time we booked his condo.  The description was accurate and the location is great.  Can't beat it for downtown Austin.
1157317,30281771,2015-04-20,12954774,Mei,"I rented 5 apartments from Ryan on Air BnB for a weekend in Austin (getting my MBA at UChicago and we only travel in packs); the Speakeasy, Retro Chic, Argyle, Grant Austin, and the Cosmopolitan. The apartments are well furnished and well kept. 

Ryan and his property manager (Thomas) are extremely accessible and helpful. All of my questions were quickly answered and it was nice that they checked in with us during the weekend, and were extremely flexible on the check in / check out times. 

The only thing (and this is CLEARLY written in the apartment descriptions, so its just something I should have thought about more carefully) is that it sometimes does really stink to sleep on air mattresses, so if you can at all, I'd highly recommend you only bring enough people that there are beds for. "
1157317,30410973,2015-04-21,23387829,Auroni,"Listing was very accurate. Apartment was stellar. Ryan and his team were great managers, always available and all in all, very helpful. Highly recommended!"
1157317,30760039,2015-04-27,2800116,Brian,"Perfect for a group of 8 for a bachelor party. As described. Centrally located, two blocks from 6th street, could easily walk there. Accessible to all areas. Place was clean and had everything that we needed. Highly recommended for groups as it is convenient. No issues at all."
1157317,31285795,2015-05-04,25361633,Pamela,"We loved this cute condo. It was perfect for all the girls in the group. The Host was in contact with me and everything was all set up when we arrived. The parking Spot W5 was a bit small and hard to get into because the pole was right there, but everything else was great. thank you. We loved Austin and we'll be back!"
1157317,33774053,2015-06-01,13271383,Jessica,The condo was clean and we were allowed to do an early check-in which was much appreciated.  The location could not be any better with everything within walking distance.  Had an amazing time there and highly recommend this location! 
1157317,35069713,2015-06-15,29042234,Kasi,"Our group really enjoyed our stay at the Austin Cosmopolitan. It was in close proximity to everything our group wanted to do and the space accommodated our group perfectly. The pool located in the building across the way is a bit small, but besides that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience."
1157317,35797017,2015-06-22,4104410,Brandy,"The description of the condo was very accurate and in the the best location in Austin. We could easily walk to nearby stores, bars and finding a cab or uber was a synch. This was my first time using airbnb and Ryan was incredibly patient with all of my questions, reservation changes, and onsite needs. It was truly an incredible, relaxed, no worry situation and our group could not have been more pleased. Thanks!"
1157317,36528490,2015-06-29,22312711,Erik,"A group of 12 of us rented this place and the Silver Screen (right next door). We had a great time. For the apartments themselves - there's an incredible amount of space, great seating areas, fully stocked kitchens, and very comfortable beds/pillows. The location is also superb. It's right off sixth street and only a little farther to Rainey - and close enough to LA barbecue that you could sleep in and still get in line early enough to not have a wait time. We will definitely stay here again if coming back to Austin."
1157317,37284343,2015-07-06,5332116,Janet,"The Cosmo is just as beautiful as it appears in the photos. It was perfect and spacious enough for a group of girls to stay comfortably. The location is great, and the apartment within walking distance to tons of Austin highlights. One downfall I experienced involved lack of communication. There were several hiccups involving us being locked out of the condo after we had established an early check in the day before. All in all the stay was great after we got in to the unit and out of the heat! "
1157317,39910151,2015-07-27,20270519,Paula,"The Cosmo was the perfect place for our group to stay and I could not have asked for a better host! Ryan and his team answered any texts or messages within the hour, usually within ten minutes and were very sweet and attentive to our needs. One of our maid of honors was shipping her dress to the unit and it was delivered safe and sound after some easy coordination with our host. 

The apartment fit about 9 ladies for a wedding week for one of my best friends. We had the bachelorette dinner literally around the corner at Fogo de Chao and took photos of the bridal party the morning of the wedding in front of the fountain in the courtyard. Anything we needed was available including an abundance of towels, pans, pots, glassware for toasts, detergent, shampoo--you name it! 

We were concerned that there were only two bathrooms before we booked, but it proved to be a just fine with the abundance of mirrors around the apartment! 

The lighting and furniture was perfect for the morning of and there was ample space for all the bridal party to prepare the morning of the wedding with the mothers, photographers, hair stylists and makeup artists. Our bride-to-be (now bride) was so thrilled with the little details including her dog throw pillow and the quirky decor. We would definitely recommend The Cosmo to any friends and family looking for a home away from home in the Austin area. Thank you for making our bride's week flawless. "
1157317,41921365,2015-08-10,29158594,Rebecca,"My girlfriends and I rented The Cosmo to celebrate a bachelorette party and it could not have been more perfect! There was plenty of space for all 8 of us to primp before a night out.  The kitchen was useful and Ryan had everything that we might need.  The rooms and even the sleeping loft were comfortable and private enough where everyone could get enough rest.

The property manager was available and even found a place for us to store our bags prior to check-in so we could grab lunch. The door utilizes a code (instead of a key) which was so convenient so girls could come and go without fear of locking ourselves out.

The location of the condo was perfect! We were right in the heart of Austin and if it hadn't been 102, we would have walked everywhere! As it was, all our Ubers were able to find us quickly!

I would definitely stay here again if we come back!"
1157317,43773203,2015-08-22,6714213,Nick,We had a Wonderful time!  Great location and a very nice unit.  Best beds I have had in austin!
1157317,44095831,2015-08-24,703623,Chelsea,"I stayed here with 8 other friends for a girls weekend in Austin. This place was perfect for our trip! It was well decorated, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. The location couldn't get much better. We walked to most bars & restaurants throughout the weekend. Ryan and his staff were helpful and accommodating with any request we had. "
1157317,48822423,2015-09-28,44759636,Tyler,Ryan did a great job helping us before and during our visit. He was always available and responded quickly to any questions we had. The property was in a great location downtown and the reserved parking was incredibly nice. The place was very well maintained and beautiful. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! Would definitely recommend this property to anyone staying in downtown Austin and will be back again without a doubt!
1157317,49992393,2015-10-08,39766891,Matt,"We were very pleased with the accommodations, neat, clean and as advertised. I highly recommend Ryan as a host. "
1157317,50448109,2015-10-12,39170484,Page,I high recommend the Cosmo! Great location downtown. Thomas and Ryan were very accommodating.  My flight arrived early into Austin and they checked me in early. Very good experience.

The back porch was a lovely addition and we started each morning having coffee and watching the birds from there!  The apartment is a VERY short cab ride to many cool locations and things to do, and is walkable to 6th street where there are restaurants and music venues, etc.  The bedroom is large and the bed was very comfortable.  The second bedroom has a nice daybed.  "
2917373,13682044,2014-06-02,2242249,Jane,"Ric was amazing! Seriously, the nicest guy, so helpful. Anytime there was something that bothered me slightly, Ric would be sure it was addressed immediately! I was in the house for over a month, and Ric was great throughout, and very welcoming in general! The house itself is great! Most comfortable beds ever. Great sunlight and space, wonderful front porch and back yard. Close to all the great bars and restaurants on East 6th st. Seriously...stay here! :)"
2917373,22374016,2014-11-04,2566868,Leszek,"Ric did a fantastic job of preparing the place for us. Everything was 'turnkey'. The place was clean and the beds were all very comfortable. Plently of towels and coffee as well. Wifi worked well! Thank you Ric. We will definitely stay in a Vacation Cake property next time we visit Austin! 

I should note that I forgot my iPhone charger and Ric mailed it directly to my home on the day I mentioned I left it behind. Awesome service. Thank you Ric! "
2917373,22703146,2014-11-12,4282959,Kat,"We booked this apartment for a trip to Austin to visit Fun Fun Fun festival. The apartment was really cute and in a great neighbourhood. Ric was super helpful and answered any questions prior to arrival instantly. We would highly recommend this apartment, we will be back! 5 stars"

5283977,27699053,2015-03-09,1529045,Brian,Great place and great hosts!  The apartment is tucked up in a quiet neighborhood but still VERY close to SoCo and just across the bridge from all of downtown.  The apartment and room were a good size and comfortable - I would definitely stay here again!
5283977,27858135,2015-03-13,9724392,Federico,I had a great time at Gina and Aaron's house. Would definitely return.

5283977,27899191,2015-03-14,28754637,Katrina,"Aaron & Gina were extremely efficient and accommodating both before and during our stay.  When we arrived, they seemed to know it was late, and we were tired, and just quickly showed us the place and then left us to wind down. The specifics (wifi password, parking rules, lock combo, etc.) were left on our nightstand in a clearly legible note. The next morning, she was around to offer more personal recommendations, and just conversation if we wanted it. They were very friendly and knew exactly how ""present"" to be, and when. The home was very clean, uncluttered, and welcoming. Perfect location and walking distance to everything.  A very restful night in Austin!!  Thanks guys!"
5283977,28098003,2015-03-17,18896172,Chenyu,Gina and Aaron are very nice hosts. They are helpful and have routine daily lives. The place is exactly described as it is. The room is very comfortable and clean. It has been decorated delicately and stylishly. the location is very quite and close to downtown area. Very good choice. 
5283977,28335498,2015-03-22,28647650,Ethan,"My friend and I came to Austin for SXSW and staying at Gina and Aaron's enabled us to have an amazing time. From the moment we walked in, Gina and Aaron were incredibly accommodating. We always felt like we were welcome to use their apartment as our own. They provided us with fresh towels, coffee, speakers for tunes, and plenty of tips on how to best enjoy our time in Austin. Their apartment is located in a great residential area that's a walkable distance from downtown. It is a hip, clean, bright, open space that helped us relax and refresh when weren't out exploring the city. Also, their cat Izzy is one of the cutest, friendliest felines either of is have had the pleasure of meeting. Honestly, I can't recomend this place enough. You'd be hard pressed to find two people as cool as Aaron and Gina willing to so openly share their home with you, especially if you're in Austin for a crazy weekend like SXSW. "
5283977,29084977,2015-04-03,16088261,Hailey Rene,I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was very nice and had a really large TV with netflix. Probably one of the best AirBnB rooms I've stayed in. Their house was conveniently located within walking distance from Congress including a really great snow cone truck. :) Gina was very welcoming and made me feel at home. Would definately stay here again. 
5283977,29153643,2015-04-04,30270419,Tori,Gina and Aaron were more than accommodating! They immediately made us feel at home and gave great suggestions for local places to check out. Their place is in the perfect location since it is within walking distance of south congress and many of attractions. Would definitely recommend them to anyone.
5283977,29245673,2015-04-05,10275054,Shanna,"My husband & I traveled to Austin to enjoy a weekend away.  The room was exactly as described. Very tiny, but very nice balcony. Hosts were both great to be around.  Simulation conversations. We both will enjoy the opportunity to stay again."
5283977,29703358,2015-04-11,8818920,Kathryn,"Our stay with Gina and Aaron was perfect!  Most of our interaction was with Gina, but the brief time we met Aaron, he was very welcoming.  Gina was super helpful and informative with finding activities in Austin and our next destination, San Antonio.  The location of their place couldn't have been better for us.  We walked to shops and restaurants in SoCo, we rode our bikes down to the Lady Bird Lake loop, and it was a cheap ($5) Uber ride to downtown locations like The Alamo Drafthouse and Moody Theater.  It was a huge room, comfy bed and shared bathroom.  Plenty of space.  I'm so glad we chose to stay with them.  Would definitely do it again.  "
5283977,29987367,2015-04-15,8402470,Deonne,My airbnb experience staying with Gina & Aaron was fantastic. The apartment is great and very spacious and both made me feel right at home. Both hosts were easy to get along with and the communication leading up to my stay was easy. Everything was really clean and comfortable. The location of their apartment is great! You can easily walk to SoCo and downtown. It's a beautiful area. When I return to Austin I will definitely be staying there again :) 
5283977,30049023,2015-04-16,1448887,Anthony,Super easy process and very responsive!  Very friendly and nice accommodations.
5283977,30118260,2015-04-17,20619309,Gray,"Gina and Aaron have a wonderful apartment. The apartment is in an excellent location, walkable to SoCo but in a quiet, private area. The room is clean and comfortable. They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasurable. Highly recommended! "
5283977,30318590,2015-04-20,29807070,Laura,"Gina and Aaron were amazing- very hospitable and accommodating. The apartment was great, awesome ammenities (pool and bbq), and the location couldn't be better. Less than a 5 minute walk to the heart of south congress.  I would highly recommend."
5283977,30593566,2015-04-24,31695304,Asher,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I thought it was great!
Awesome location and reasonable price.
I will try it again. Gina and Aaron were around if we had any questions and we felt comfortable there. 
Went for a short dip in the pool which was refreshing and could walk downtown or rent a city bike."
5283977,30639659,2015-04-25,792329,Mary,"Gina and Aaron were absolutely wonderful. I only stayed with them one night, and I wish I could have stayed longer! The room was wonderful and spacious. Bathroom had an AMAZING tub. Loved having a wonderful conversation in the morning over coffee. If you need a place to stay near downtown Austin, you couldn't find a better and more welcoming host."
5283977,30790128,2015-04-27,19810110,Julia,"Gina and Aaron's place was lovely and exactly as described. The room was comfortable and the location was perfect for walking to South Congress and Downtown. We did not get to meet Aaron, but Gina was very accommodating.  Would highly recommend!"

5283977,31757516,2015-05-09,32915421,John,"Gina and Aaron were terrific. Whole process was quick, painless, and cheap. Gina got back to me immediately. They were there to greet us when we got in, but gave us plenty of space. The room and living area both are comfortable and offer a ton of space. The room also offers the perfect little balcony for hanging out at the end of the night. The next morning we had coffee with them before heading out and they were both super cool and easy to talk to, plus offered a ton of good knowledge of Austin. I will definitely be staying with them the next time I'm passing through. These two are perfect examples of what Air BnB strives for. "
5283977,32142229,2015-05-14,27672803,Christina,"This place is an absolute gem!  Very close to downtown, and a beautiful walk.  Gina was an exceptional host.  She was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area.  The room was spacious and clean.  The bathroom has a private entrance and a personal vanity for getting ready.  Great location, great space, and great host!"
5283977,32518374,2015-05-19,140702,Miguel&Gemma,"Confortable and spacious bed. Easy check in, because the key is a dial code and you don't even need to be handed the key."
5283977,32668811,2015-05-19,33441128,Christian,"This was our first experience with Airbnb, and it was awesome. Gina and Aaron were super friendly, and their place is great. The condo was very clean and comfortable, and I thought it looked just like the photos. It was close to downtown, and we enjoyed a nice walk to the bars on a warm Austin night.  

If we come back to Austin, I'd love to stay with Aaron and Gina again. "

The room is exactly as shown in pictures and neighborhood is awesome. Felt very safe and could walk to a cool strip of restaurants. Communication was easy and everything went smoothly.

It was perfect walking or bike distance from some of the greatest activities & food places... We will definetly be back to Austin and will most likely stay them again:)"
5283977,34111441,2015-06-04,34224238,Heather,Very nice place! Had a wonderful afternoon lounging at the pool. Gina told us about a free concert in a local park which was lots of fun! Their place is a few minute uber drive from 6th Street. great place! Great location! Gina and Aaron are very nice and helpful! 
5283977,34296502,2015-06-07,27840241,Katie,"Gina and Aaron were lovely hosts! They were very welcoming and gave us some great advice about what to do in the city.

Also, their cat Izzy is super friendly."
5283977,34685008,2015-06-10,35002450,Aria,"As we approached Gina and Aaron's place, we were greeted by a cat, Gina and Aaron's awesome cat Izzy in fact, and a friendly cat is always a good sign. Gina and Aaron are warm, inviting hosts, very easygoing folks with great advice on what to do in Austin. Their place is lovely and the bedroom was super comfy. The walk to downtown is about 20 minutes, but feels light and easy. Definitely recommend if you want to spend some time in Austin."

Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I weren't able to take them up on the pool offer, too busy, but maybe next time. "
5283977,35301523,2015-06-17,5697371,Jeanne & Steven,Great location in leafy South Congress. Close to SoCo shops and $5-8 Uber to downtown. Spacious apartment. Gina and Aaron were lovely hosts and great conversation. Recommend.
5283977,35836612,2015-06-22,8868832,Cc,"Gina's and Aaron's instructions were very clear. The apartment was in an ideal location. They provided many amenities, and I felt very at home. "
5283977,36547926,2015-06-29,1709253,Jennifer,"Great location- less than a 10 minute walk to South Congress and located right in Travis Heights. Bedroom with cute balcony was great although because it was a full-sized bed, I'm not sure two people could have slept comfortably. Very clean accommodations and I loved the shower! Didn't use the pool, but it looked like a great place to hang out in the heat. "
5283977,36869104,2015-07-02,10907277,Spencer,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Gina and Aaron. They have a great place in a cool neighborhood near downtown and other areas. They were both very friendly and welcoming. Aaron was around more and was always willing to chat or give us our space. He also made some excellent recommendations of where to eat/drink. We hope to come back to Austin someday, if we do, we'd definitely stay with them again. Thank you for your hospitality. "
5283977,37181502,2015-07-05,14044033,Kate,This is a fantastic neighborhood and super close to South Congress- my friend and I walked pretty much everywhere we wanted to go. Coming and going from Gina and Aaron's place was really easy and they were really friendly and easy going!
5283977,37873684,2015-07-11,35320711,Linda,"Aaron and Gina are very sweet, helpful people. The building they live in is close enough to walk to a great area for dining, shopping and getting a feel for what Austin is all about.
The apartment building is not fancy but it is quiet and it was great that Gina was there to meet me when I arrived. She was helpful and welcoming. Aaron was especially down-to-earth and obviously loves his neighborhood.
This was my first experience with Airbnb so perhaps I had the wrong impression regarding how this all works. I had been lead to believe that for the most part I would be by myself at the apartment. I hadn't planned on doing a lot of running around and was hoping to get a lot of down time to just relax. Unfortunately it's a fairly small apartment with a tiny bathroom off of Gina and Aaron's room. Gina was in their room in complete silence almost the entire time I was there. When reading their bio I had noticed that Aaron traveled for his job. Unfortunately I did not seriously consider the fact that Gina is a high school teacher and would perhaps be around a lot since it's  summer. It was just very awkward to use that tiny bathroom (you can barely turn around in it) with either one or the other or both almost always there in the next room in utter silence.
I think I've discovered I'm better off springing for a hotel.
Again, great, lovely people but virtually no privacy. Perfect for folks who will always be out anyway, just not for me.
"
5283977,38141613,2015-07-13,24846097,Lisa,"What a great stay in Austin! The neighborhood, apartment as a whole and room were perfect. Even in the hot Texas summer heat, the location is perfectly walkable to the S Congress area. It's also quiet and filled with so many beautiful and unique houses. The apartment was very clean and well kept - full access to coffee in the morning and the cutest balcony off the rented bedroom to enjoy a cup on in the morning. Gina had some great recommendations of where to eat, the best deals on paddle boards and neighborhoods with good night time vibes. Oh, and you will become her cats new best friend."
5283977,38663470,2015-07-17,38105677,Michael,"Clean, welcoming home. No problems with find location, getting in/out, or anything for that matter. Great experience."

5283977,38906165,2015-07-19,18798329,Dan,"Gina and Aaron were great! They were very accommodating, and even invited us to hang out with them.

We met some of their friends, who were also pretty cool. If my friends and I didn't already have plans, we would have definitely hung out with Gina, Aaron, and their friends by their pool. 

I slept on their couch, and I wasn't woken up at all. I definitely recommend them!"

The first night we got in pretty late and wanted to grab a bite to eat, so Gina gave us a recommendation for a great spot in walking distance! Both she and Aaron were so helpful with great suggestions for things to do, places to eat/drink, etc. We loved the quick walk to South Congress and really enjoyed that whole area. This is a great location :) "
5283977,39713477,2015-07-25,15539857,Ashley,Had a great time at Gina and Aaron ' s place. They both were very accomadating and helpful on what I should do in austin. The location of the apartment was super close to downtown and zilker park. The apartment itself was very nice and the room was great. Loved the smell of coffee every morning. Wish I would have booked my room for 3 nig ht s instead of 2! The bed was super comfy as well. The bathroom was totally fine . The shower/tub was really huge. Loved the place and will def look at booking again!
5283977,39839977,2015-07-26,38388019,Dani,"The atmosphere of the apartment complex was perfect for a couple of college girls like us. Gina and aaron were nice and friendly, wish we could have spent more time with them!"

5283977,43789319,2015-08-22,29050274,Cinda,"From the moment we arrived we were greeted by Izzy, their friendly and very charming cat. Arron and GIna were gracious and delightful also. They made us feel at home and since this was our first AirB&B experience we did not know what to expect. Ther wereTheir appartment was neat and with that urban loft look. Our room was prefect for our short stay. We enjoyed the balcony sitting area and the view it gave us. They are located within walking distance of SOCo ( South Cogress) a mix of clubs, music, boutiques and eateries. This made our visit to Austin even more memorable. "
5283977,43966276,2015-08-23,2479529,Martha,"Very user-friendly experience - the location was super convenient! The room was as photographed and while I never met Gina or Aaron, the whole experience was very positive as they were quite accommodating."
5283977,45009770,2015-08-30,41510626,Finesse,"My experience in Austin was absolutely amazing! Our hosts Gina & Aaron were laid back and opened their home so warmly. It's as if you're their roommate and you have access to everything in the house, respectfully of course. Gina's spice rack is amazing! Thank you both for opening your home! P.S I loved the home decor, especially the record player!"
5283977,47048452,2015-09-15,32801921,Alisa,The neighborhood was great. It was awesome being within walking distance of SOCO. The room was exactly as described. Gina & Aaron were very nice and had great communication leading up to and during my stay.

5283977,49165258,2015-10-01,35679494,Matt,Brilliant location. Large private room and balcony with shared bathroom but private vanity. Swimming pool was very welcome too! I didn't see Aaron and Gina much but that is because I was out and they were very accommodating and offer d any assistance I may need.

772359,28147700,2015-03-18,1478370,Walter,"Justin's place was PERFECT for our group of 6 people all looking for a quiet respite away from the SXSW hubbub. The house is located super close to good coffee and tacos, and a bit further from all the East 6th Street bars/restaurants/food trucks - maybe about a 10 minute walk. 

Speaking of hubbub, I was already in Austin for a few days prior to taking up temporary residence in this house, and due to the SXSW traffic madness, I was almost 30m late to the agreed upon time we were meant to meet at the house. Justin was extremely gracious about my tardiness, and showed me around without feeling rushed or annoyed - despite me being so late. 

Pricewise, this was well in line - actually even much cheaper - than the typical SXSW Air BnB pricing. I felt like we got more than our money's worth in terms of being able to accommodate 6 people very comfortably, and all feeling like we had adequate space for ourselves individually. 

I appreciate the host's dedication to our comfort - he texted me to make sure we were settled in nicely, and cruised out there to unlock the door when someone inadvertently locked us out! Very kind and patient. 

I'd unequivocally recommend this place to anyone in a small to medium group who wants a quiet place to stay in East Austin. The house is large, comfortable, and well appointed. "
772359,29876647,2015-04-13,13049961,Turner,Justin's house was perfect for our needs and was big enough to comfortably fit 8 people with ease. The house is perfectly situated close to everything in Downtown Austin and is in a unique neighborhood. He made us feel very welcome and even left us with some beers to relax with while waiting on our friends to arrive.
772359,47985934,2015-09-22,2061928,Albert,"Justin's place was fantastic. My wife, child, in-laws and I were very comfortable, had everything we needed and were walking distance to food and drink. highly recommended!"
4037342,27063315,2015-02-24,26709169,Dave,"We were so comfortable in this space!  We took walks daily and were greeted by friendly people everywhere we went.  The bungalo was neat, tidy, and charming with space in the backyard and front porch to enjoy the warm afternoons.  I appreciated the shampoo and conditioners that were provided along with very cozy towels and bedding.  The proximity to Zilker park was definitely a huge plus for us.  Also, if you feel weary that laundry isn't on the premises, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to do laundry at the laundromat across the street and used it several times.  We would definitely stay again."
4037342,27356981,2015-03-02,27860459,Frank,"Rick was fantastic! He gave us plenty of direction in terms of arriving at the house and how to use the locks and what not. The bungalow itself was beautiful and very clean. The beds were huge and extremely comfortable. Plenty of room in the living room and kitchen to hang out. Short drive to get into the downtown area, but not very inconvenient at all. The neighborhood seemed nice and friendly enough, though we did not spend much time in the immediately adjacent neighborhood. "
4037342,27663128,2015-03-09,23762503,Robike,"what an awesome experience... all the charm of an older home, upgraded and modernized for convenience.
 our only disappointment is that when we return to Austin, we are only passing through for one night and cannot stay here again due to a two night minimum. The house was so comfy, perfect for two couples... and the living room would have been great if our 5th (my father in law) had been able to join in... he missed a great time!  the deep antique tub was amazing, the kitchen perfect for a quick reheat of Awesome Austin dining out, as well as breakfast. Beds were COMFY!! lots of great big bath sheets/towels.. front porch was awesome for sitting and watching all the amazing upgrades taking place in the neighborhood.  convenient to everything, easy commute to my daughter's on Rainey Street ... AND a mini mart within a two minute walk for any quick items.. loved it, loved it, loved and will be back. Great games in the living room for the rainy days... big screen tv .. good selection of DVD's which we never got  to... there is just too much to do... "
4037342,28125694,2015-03-18,514054,John,"Rick is an attentive, responsive and friendly host.  His place is very comfortable and a pleasure to stay at.  Would recommend and if possible, would stay there again."
4037342,28310161,2015-03-22,11741444,Jonathan,Great home and great atmosphere. I couldn't have been happier. Loved it
4037342,28711893,2015-03-29,14745456,Rebecca,We loved our stay here. Downtown was easily accessible by uber and Barton springs was a nice walk away. The house was clean and the corner store right across the street was incredibly convenient. 
4037342,29177201,2015-04-05,27210694,Jovana,"I stayed here over a long weekend with my family and it was perfect for us. The house was exactly as listed in the pictures, very cute, clean and comfortable. Rick was very responsive and answered all our messages immediately. The house is dog friendly and our dog enjoyed the dog run at the back of the house. Would definitely recommend this house!"
4037342,32527513,2015-05-19,30808135,Sarah,"This house was clean and cozy and accurate to the pictures. The corner market was convenient and had lots of useful things. The house itself was fine but there were many issues. The electronic deadbolt code was so ridiculously obvious anybody walking by could have figured it out. There is a guesthouse that they rent out about 20’ from the house that they failed to mention nor the people staying there that we could hear their every move. Then we learned we got to coordinate sharing the single driveway and share the “private” yard with another dog. We tried to unpack and found the closet full of the owner’s clothes and the fridge full of the food. It is their house but usually people move stuff around to provide you with a place to put your stuff while you are there. The cable was out on the TV and we were told we could only access the On Demand stuff. For Internet there were 2 networks, one secure network they won’t let you use and one open network. Because of the TV issue we decided to use the Chromecast but it is on the other network and the open network has a screen you have to click through so it can’t hook up to that. Then he said we could get Netflix through his Xbox but it had no batteries. The list goes on and on and all the issues weren’t the biggest deal but it rained most of the time we were there so we had to entertain ourselves inside with all the broken or locked electronics. I don’t think we got what was advertised but it’s hit or miss when you vacation like this and I guess we should have asked more questions. We weren’t expecting perfection but we felt a little mislead and not very welcome with their stuff everywhere and no room for our stuff. Overall we would not recommend this house or stay there again because we prefer our privacy and like to unpack and relax on our vacations."
4037342,32965915,2015-05-24,25888516,Kristyn,"We absolutely loved staying here. The two bedroom house was adorable, spacious and clean. GREAT location - there is a corner store on the block, you can walk to quite a few restaurants/bars or take a short uber ride. Also, Rick was a wonderful host - we didn't see him during our stay, but we had a couple of random questions so I sent a message through the Airbnb app and Rick responded immediately both times. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to others."
4037342,34564516,2015-06-09,33860128,Mary,"The Zilker Bungalow's large living room was great for visiting relatives and friends - so much better than a hotel room. The king size bed had a soft, squashy mattress that the grandkids loved. The queen size bed had a firm mattress that my husband and I prefer. The Bungalow was good value!"
4037342,34994388,2015-06-14,32013675,Nicole,Great place to stay!! Very close to 6th. We loved our stay. 
4037342,35654155,2015-06-21,31113963,Anna,"My family had a mini-reunion in Austin for a week, and this home was perfect.  We also reserved the additional apartment in the back for a few days to have extra space when more family members were in town.  The home  and neighborhood were pleasant and comfortable.  The living area in the home was spacious.  The home had all the necessary essentials, and an ample supply of towels and bed linens.  We enjoyed sitting on the comfortable chairs on the front and back patios.   Additionally, we found the new security code locks on the doors to be easy to use and very convenient.  They also felt very safe as the host was able to control and change them remotely as needed.   
      The location was exactly what I was looking for.   We took advantage of the location and frequently walked to the restaurants on Barton Springs and the greenbelt/jogging trails by the water.   Most other areas we visited around Austin were an easy short drive away.
     Rick was a conscientious and attentive host.   He was easy to get in touch with.  The few times I contacted Rick, I found it convenient to use the airbnb app, and Rick responded quickly.   On the day of our arrival, we encountered an unexpected issue.  (unexpected to Rick as well)    He immediately went to work to fix everything for us, compensate us for the trouble,  and make sure we had what we needed in the meantime.   In fact, Rick paid for our dinner out that first night to repay us for our trouble.   I felt like Rick handled the situation perfectly, and would absolutely stay at his home again, and recommend it to others.   "
4037342,36454138,2015-06-28,2755688,Michelle,"Rick's place was just like the pictures. He was not able to meet us, but the code entry to enter the house was convenient. The master bedroom was extremely comfortable for 3 girls to share. Vanity mirror in the bedroom made up for the small space in the bathroom. Rick had  a spacious living room that allowed our group to gather around and play board games or just watch TV. We did have issues getting the Comcast/U-verse up and running, but were able to get Rick on the phone to give us instructions. The location was extremely convenient! There was someone staying in the back house, but we didn't even see him until we were leaving. "
4037342,37213671,2015-07-05,7115232,Kelly,We really enjoyed our stay at the Zilker bungalow. Very charming and in the middle of everything. We were minutes away from some great restaurants and coffee shops. Rick checked in with us during our stay which was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend!!
4037342,48985512,2015-09-30,13397758,Yasmine,"I stayed at Rick's bungalow for 2.5 months this summer, and it had a lot of attributes that made a long stay very enjoyable. Rick has a well-stocked kitchen with a lot staples (e.g., spices, condiments,etc.)  that makes cooking easy. The beds and soft sheets were very comfortable, and there was plenty of space to put things and feel at home. Big comfy sofas, a huge television, chromecast, cable, and fast internet also provided a comfortable experience. The Laundromat across the street will wash and fold your laundry by the nicest owner.  Location, Location, Location. The location can't be beat,... walking distance to Barton springs and Zilker park, and close to downtown, and some of the best restaurants in Austin are on S. Lamar Blvd. Everything I needed felt like it was within easy reach. There was also a fantastic Barre studio within walking distance.  Rick was a great host. He was highly responsive to  questions or requests, and addressed these very quickly. Highly recommend!"
4037342,49584177,2015-10-05,29470226,Caro,We really enjoyed our stay! I didn't meet Rick in person but he was very responsive when we needed him. The house has everything you may need and there's a food mart half a block away which was extremely convenient! I'd stay here again if I were to go back to Austin which is likely because Austin is awesome! 
4037342,50428816,2015-10-12,11095077,Mary Grace,"Rick was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.  When we were having trouble with the lock code, he responded promptly to make sure that things were working smoothly.  (Turns out the key code mishap was due to my typo-nothing on Rick's end).  The home was cozy and comfortable.  Even with 7 girls, we never ran out of hot water for showers!  If ever back in Austin, I would stay at Rick's again and recommend to others."
4037342,51857467,2015-10-24,35394119,Thomas,"I had a great stay at Rick's Charming Zilker Bungalow.  It's a great location with proximity to key attractions.  The home was very well maintained, clean, and comfortable.  Would recommend this place to any visitors!"
4037342,52048802,2015-10-26,5721667,Dani,"Everything went smoothly and although I never met Rick in person, he was prompt with message responses. We had a great time and even though the weather was uncharacteristic and heavily raining and we couldn't walk, the location was good enough that it was a short ride to places to explore around Austin. "
219168,999060,2012-03-14,200060,Erin And Marla,"Quiet, pleasant, very nice hosts. The back porch is ideal for hanging out and relaxing. Delicious food within blocks, and the hosts made a guide of things within walking distance that was spot-on correct. "
219168,1020640,2012-03-19,1553124,Ryoji,Their home is comfortable.Their hospitality is great for us & we have a great time to Austin.I can walk to both 6th Street & UC if I think trying to.
219168,28386953,2015-03-23,24700638,Carisa,Everything was great! 
219168,30893840,2015-04-28,30873420,Carolyn,"I rented this small one-room apartment (plus bathroom with a shelf-closet) for 3 nights. It had shade trees outside the front windows and the inside was neat & clean! There were two comfortable beds, one for an adult-sized person and  the other for a small adult or child. Kitchen counter was very small, but with a microwave & refrigerator. The bathroom sink had a faucet water filter. The neighborhood is a very short walk to So. Congress St. and a beautiful park is at the end of the block. I would stay again for a short period of time."
219168,49802521,2015-10-06,10063123,Austin,Kalu made me feel very welcome and his place was very clean.  Great communication as I was arriving and made sure I checked in okay.  The neighborhood was really nice and convenient location to south congress.  Would love to stay here again.
219168,50620200,2015-10-13,17890473,Matthew,"Kalu was a fantastic host. He checked in before I arrived, the next morning to make sure everything was good with the apartment once we checked in and stayed in contact throughout the stay. His place is located in a really nice neighborhood in Austin that was about 8 - 12 minutes away from everything we needed. Kalu also gave my girlfriend and I a lift to the airport on the day we were leaving. I would absolutely recommend staying with him! "
5318697,28278896,2015-03-21,20631674,Francis,"Errol's place was perfect, great location, and just as described. He was communicative and really helpful. He was also kind of enough to leave info about the neighborhood and a bunch of local gifts on the table (beer, chips, salsa, etc). And I had a later flight and he was nice enough to let me leave my bags at his place all day. Great stay! "
3655306,20898436,2014-10-07,19070035,Vishal,"We had a great experience staying here. The house is exactly as pictured and you can tell a lot of thought and care went in to the interior design. The location is great; downtown is a short drive away with easy access to I-35, and there are nice local food spots nearby. We also appreciated the welcome packet upon arrival and would recommend this house to others!"
3655306,21281251,2014-10-14,16066811,Marissa,"This place was perfect. We loved the design of the house and all the comforting touches they added. We went for ACL and it was such a nice house to come back to after a long, exhausting day. The beds were extremely comfortable and the furnishing and decor was great! We took several pictures of the house and fell in love with the neighborhood. Nice backyard, enough room to entertain and have friends over. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. If we ever come back to Austin we know where we will be sleeping! (:"
3655306,21628599,2014-10-20,22285226,Erin,Great location!  UT and downtown within minutes.  Pictures were spot on!  Very charming home.  Definitely would recommend to friends and family.
3655306,22308956,2014-11-03,2660863,John,"This was the perfect place to our visit. The house is as described and it even look better than some of the photos. The kitchen  is fully equipped as well as the rest of the house. The street is very quiet and is pretty close to a nice commercial development with restaurants and a grocery shop.
Katherine left for us a bottle of wine cookies and and coffee which we really enjoyed.
"
3655306,26974540,2015-02-23,22126093,Bill,"Katherine was a great host, we felt very welcome and the place was really clean, bright and cozy. "
3655306,28383800,2015-03-23,812325,Katy,"Our experience in Austin was truly made memorable by staying at this lovely home. Not only was the home exactly how it was portrayed, beautifully decorated, it was extremely easy to manage and so comfortable! Katherine and Andrew were so accommodating with any and all questions we had and were extremely welcoming with coffee, wine, and the most delicious cookies! 
We are so happy we chose this home for our Austin stay, and would definitely recommend if you are looking for a beautiful Austin home to spend a weekend in - you cannot pass this charming one up!"
3655306,37391469,2015-07-06,23437408,Anysha,"Our stay at Katherine and Andrew's home was absolutely phenomenal! I felt like I had just stepped into an Anthropologie catalogue! From the moment we entered, we smelled fresh lilies and were welcomed with welcome binder along with a bottle of wine, cookies, and a stocked refridgerator. The bathroom was also fully stocked with towels and the kitchen was fully stocked with every type of dish and/or appliance you can think of. The bedrooms were decorated nicely and the beds were extremely comfortable. I can definitely say I had a good nights sleep! You can tell they are passionate about hosting because it's clearly showcased in every little detail of their home. I know for a fact that this will be our home of choice every time we visit Austin! Thank you so much Katherine and Andrew for making our stay wonderful!"
3655306,45157649,2015-08-31,4576338,Melissa,"Lovely! There was a bottle of wine, a bag of coffee, a bunch of cookies, and a handwritten note to welcome us. Super cute, clean, and comfortable house. I wasn't sure about the area when I booked it, but it was fantastic. The stay could not have been any better. "
5402363,28151350,2015-03-18,22328971,Michael,Sarah was very accommodating and easy to contact via this website or through text.  The space is apartment was very clean with great light in the bedroom in the mornings.  Sarah was very helpful and provided everything I would need and was available via text throughout the stay.  Wonderful host!
5683309,40465848,2015-07-31,36301159,Brandon,"Janette is a wonderful host. She makes you feel welcome in her home and is great to talk to. She respects your privacy and is very easy going. If you're looking for a great place to stay while visiting austin, you should definitely give janette a call!"
5683309,44796253,2015-08-29,38169057,San,"This stay was awesome! It was my first time using Airbnb, and I am so glad I gave it a try! Janette was so nice and considerate. I needed a 3 day extension at the last minute and she was quick to make accommodations for me! She provided basically everything for my stay. 
The location was perfect. Every morning I drove to UT Austin and it only took me 10 minutes through I-35 (even during rush hour). Lamar and 183 are nearby which was very convenient. The neighborhood is very quiet and there are a few corner stores down the street. Her home is very clean and comfy, and the backyard was kickass. 
I definitely recommend this spot for anyone wanting to stay in Austin.
Also, you will love her dog Charlie. I loved cuddling with him!"
5683309,49019406,2015-09-30,13874190,Ahmed,"Jennet and Chris welcomed me like I was their friend/relative. Chris helped me take my stuff from the street inside my room. The room was as it was described. I didn't have to share the bathroom, so my mornings was hassle free.  
The neighborhood is green and serene. It is also safe. I lived there more than a month, every day return home after 10pm. Never felt unsafe. 
Both of the hosts work at night. They are wonderful people, well mannered, and respectful to the guest. 
The pets in the hours are cute, sweet, and gentle. This is the first time I was so close to pets. Now, I want to have pets. I strongly recommend this listing."
5683309,50415694,2015-10-11,46111337,Michael,"This was my first Airbnb experience.  Janette was very welcoming, generous and clean.  Her house is located in North Austin very close to public transportation.  I parked my big truck in front of her house for 2 days, the area was very secure, and I biked/bused/trained all over Austin.  There are plenty of local restaurants to choose, or shop at the local grocery store and prepare in Janette's clean kitchen.  The room could accommodate 2 adults comfortably if needed.  Overall it was a very quite and satisfying stay. "
5683309,52027130,2015-10-25,44798866,Spencer,Janette was awesome. She worked around my business schedule from checking in to checking out! I am very satisfied and glad I had the opportunity to stay in her home. Definitely would recommend her hospitality to any air bnb customer. 
5683309,52784194,2015-11-01,47279970,Doug,"My first airbnb experience was excellent.  Janette and Chris were most hospitable and welcoming.  As I was quite busy during my stay, I saw them infrequently and that felt fine."
5683309,53114550,2015-11-05,41344548,黃,"Janette and Chris are really nice! Though we got to work in the morning and they had to work at night and there was only a few chance to chat with them, we felt very welcomed and comfortable living there! The cat and dogs are so cute, especially Tofu is so sweet~ If somebody is going to Austin, I will definitely recommend Janette and Chris's place!"
5272994,29000806,2015-04-02,28762168,Karen,"This was our very first experience with Air BNB and it was amazing. Mary Beth and Ken are the loveliest hosts and Maison Pemberton exceeded all of our expectations.  The home is well decorated and well landscaped,  both elegant and comfortable, beautiful and well equipped with everything we could possibly need.  The house is located slightly outside of Downtown Austin in a beautiful neighborhood, but close enough for easy access by car, bicycle (of which there are two for guests) and even by foot when we wanted more exercise. A guidebook left in the home provided great restaurant recommendations along with ideas for activities.  Each bedroom had its own  bathroom and the towels are plush and comfortable.  Because our flight arrived late Marybeth and Ken had a delicious breakfast ready for us.  The only problem I anticipate for first time users is being spoiled by these thorough and hospitable hosts.


"
5272994,29784170,2015-04-12,6073751,Triana,"My family and I enjoyed our stay at Maison Pemberton very much! In fact we're wanting to book it again the next time we come and visit! It really is the perfect place to host a big group of people. We were greeted with a lovely card and a delicious bottle of wine from our lovely hosts, Mary Beth and Ken. This home exudes elegance! Every room was beautifully decorated. We most especially appreciated all of the small touches like the cook books, playing cards, bug spray, and a binder full of recommendations. Even the exterior was fabulous! Most of the time we spent at Maison Pemberton was spent grilling outside on the patio, as its situated in such a beautiful area. I highly recommend booking here! You'll truly enjoy your stay!"
5272994,30786675,2015-04-27,29076570,Sameet,"Our stay at Madison Pemberton was absolutely incredible, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.  Mary Beth was very easy to contact with any questions, and provided great and useful info ranging from what weather to expect to what to pack etc. The house is even more beautiful than the pictures -- it is located in a gorgeous, idyllic, quiet neighborhood, and it is stunningly and thoughtfully decorated.  All the little touches from the towels to bed sheets to comfortable mattresses made the stay feel very luxurious.  There are tables in the back yard and room for cars. Mary Beth and Ken have thought of every possible need an out of town we may have and done their best to accommodate it. I'd definitely stay here again!"
5272994,40122917,2015-07-28,36655164,Marcella,"The house is perfect! The neigbordhood is pleasant!

I was surprised with what i found! It was Very clean, the furniture was New And had everything we nedded!"
5272994,48504585,2015-09-27,1590076,Sarah,"We had the most wonderful stay at Maison Pemberton. I reserved the beautiful home for a week before my wedding and shared it with my parents, sisters, and respective husbands. The home was in impeccable condition and furnished generously. As a family of cooks, we needed only fresh ingredients to easily prepare meals in the kitchens. We were welcomed warmly first by a bottle of Texas wine and delicious chocolates and then in person by Ken and Mary Beth. I can't say enough about what wonderful hosts they were. We had family over to celebrate the pending wedding and they provided us with additional seating, outdoor lanterns, and linens for the occasion. Because they knew we were checking out the day after our wedding, they were flexible with the timing and even mailed us a package that arrived after our departure. I wish to extend my wholehearted thanks to Mary Beth and Ken and hope to return for my anniversary! "
383689,2471726,2012-10-01,3525183,Brandy,"we had the most wonderful time in this BEAUTIFUL loft. It is walking distance to EVERYTHING. I highly recomend this spot to anyone wanting to explore austin.Its pretty quiet so if you are going to party this is not the spot for you. Next trip if the loft is Avail. it will deff be where i stay.All in all the pictures do not do this beautiful spot justice. the Hosts were every nice and helpful and even called to check that we got in ok, very very nice people."
383689,2524731,2012-10-06,3673755,John,I liked this place.  The location is excellent and the place itself is cute and from my perspective a much better option than a hotel room.  Jamie was responsive as I had problems getting in as I'd lost the instructions and the whole experience was easy.
383689,3103590,2012-12-17,3158798,Dean,"This downtown loft was absolutely perfect for my recent business trip to Austin.  Location couldn't have been better and it was really comfortable, had everything I needed and it was very nicely set up.  The photos accurately convey what you find when you arrive.   Jamie is a great host, very communicative with a close attention to detail. Her check-in instructions were very detailed and accurate -- I never felt in the dark.  I'll be back!  Thanks, Jamie."

I travel to Austin each week for our business and I have to admit this Modern Loft is a great value.
The apartment is in a great downtown location, very safe, close to restaurants, entertainment, convention center, ACL, Children's Museum, etc
Jamie is a great host and provides all the comfy amenities with all the details and instructions on making your stay in Austin as flawless as possible.
I am now a repeat customer of the Modern loft at the railyard!!
Thanks Jamie"

383689,3416276,2013-01-26,4611196,Greg,"Back for another great experience at Jamie's modern loft.  This was my 2nd stay and it was even better than the 1st.  Jamie is all about service and making sure you enjoy your stay.  Incredibly accommodating and thoughtful with simple yet detailed instructions, great suggestions for experiencing Austin.  
If my family and I weren't closing on a home in Austin, I would def be back for another stay."
383689,3470285,2013-02-04,2968390,Robert,"Book it. Seriously, if you're thinking about staying here, do it! It's the perfect place downtown, easy to get anywhere (airport too - $1 bus ride), and has a very nice interior. It looks like an interior designer came into the place and made everything look great. Plus the hosts are professionals - they email directions, recommendations, instructions, everything you need for the trip, and it made the travel into Austin very smooth getting to the apartment. If any of my friends were to go to Austin I would recommend this place, so I highly recommend it to other airbnb-ers. "
383689,3499292,2013-02-08,4913577,Lynn,"The loft was super cute and in a fantastic location in Austin. It was close to everything, and we were able to get around easily to all the great areas downtown without needing a car. Jamie was responsive and professional. Amazing deal for such a nice place in this perfect location. "
383689,3515011,2013-02-11,480159,Yi,Overall we enjoyed our stay. The host did mention in the check-in instruction that voices in the hallway carry easily through the windows so I'd encourage any guest to bring ear plugs and eye mask. (We stayed over the mardi gras weekend.) The unit is on 3rd floor in an apt/condo complex with secured gates. Location is very safe and convenient where there are great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Our self check-in was easy and had enough towels to use. We also enjoyed ESPN channels.
383689,3537226,2013-02-13,5028588,Natalie,"The pictures of the loft are accurate, and the loft itself is comfortable and convenient.  Jamie was very accommodating and quick to respond to messages.  I would definitely book this place again."

It was close to where our conference was held and is close to a number of great neighborhoods where we could grab a meal and/or a drink. The interior was clean and tidy and completely met our expectations. I highly recommend staying here!

Jamie is professional and helpful. Stay here if you want a pleasant and hassle-free stay in the heart of Austin."
383689,3720369,2013-03-08,584935,Gabriel,"Jamie's apartment was fantastic. The directions were very clear and the apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and stylish. I was in town for a convention so the location could not have been more perfect. Walking district to 6th street meant you don't need cab fare and could easily stumble home after a night full of music. It's my new first choice in Austin. Highly recommended."
383689,3812822,2013-03-18,445404,Alec,Such a great location. Amazing Apt! Jamie was awesome. Just do it.

383689,4018756,2013-04-03,3661276,Amy,Jamie's loft is in a perfect location downtown. We were close to a lot of restaurants and sights. Jamie was a great host making us feel very welcomed. I would definitely stay here again!

The neighborhood around the apartment is quiet and the very comfy bed makes for a peaceful nights' sleep!"
383689,4095177,2013-04-09,626815,Kathryn,"Jamie's condo is great - it is comfortable, clean and well-stocked with amenities. The location can't be beat! There's so much to see and do (and eat!) within walking distance, and if it's not, there are cabs at the hotel across the street. When you stay at Jamie's, you are truly in the heart of everything. Her restaurant recommendations were also spot on. Getting the keys was kind of an ordeal since Jamie was out of town and her usual key exchange method was out of service, but it all worked out in the end. "
383689,4206566,2013-04-18,5663830,Nicole,"Jamie was a great host. She communicated detailed information in plenty of time, and we didn't have any issues getting into the apartment at all. She also provided us with a parking space in the garage which made traveling back and forth super simple.

Her condo is conveniently located in downtown Austin but within walking distance to SoCo, East Austin bar scene, and more. The apartment is clean and well-stocked.

I would highly recommend a stay at this place to any of my friends going to visit Austin soon."

383689,4656008,2013-05-18,3969080,Leah,"The Loft was a great place to stay during our time in Austin. Jamie was wonderful to deal with and our keyless entry to the loft made checking in and out super easy. The loft is located in downtown Austin near the infamous 6th Street. It is also a five to ten minute taxi (or 20 minute walk) to some of Austin's other trendy and hip neighborhoods such as East 6th, Rainey Street, South Congress.. great areas to shop, catch live music, eat, and people watch! I would 100% recommend the loft as a great place to stay as home base in this beautiful city."

383689,4889588,2013-05-31,4358393,Danielle,"Jamie's condo in Austin was a fantastic find! We travelled from Australia with two children aged 4 and 6 and this was a great place to base ourselves. Right in the heart of town close to 6th street and transportation on Congress ave, as we were not driving. More than enough room for our family. We were only supposed to stay two nights however due to a change in plans Jamie's was able to accommodate us for an extra night. She was a great host, easily accessible if needed. Highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to visit Austin. I've sure will be back! Loved it!"
383689,4932838,2013-06-03,2516632,Shannon,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I'm so happy with the outcome. Jamie's loft was so cool and comfortable and is in a perfect location. Seeing as it was my first time using Airbnb, I had a lot of questions and was a little confused...but Jamie was so helpful and accommodating and emailed me back promptly whenever I needed help/had questions. It was also very reasonably priced, I would definitely stay there again."
383689,5119504,2013-06-13,2027387,Neil,"Everything as described, had a great stay, Jamie was very flexible when I needed to check out late - no problems or concerns about the apartment, and the location is awesome. Thanks Jamie - will definitely stay again!"
383689,5168801,2013-06-16,6565269,Yuriy,"Couldn't have asked for better location, literally 2 minutes away from the 6th street and next to all the restaurants one may desire and the capitol building. Comfortably fit 3 people and very easy access to the condo and parking. Parking is covered and gated which gives a great feeling of security. If ever in Dallas, i'll be definitely staying there again!"
383689,5259090,2013-06-21,4325828,David,"This centrally located loft is ideal for a visit to an Austin convention, or, honestly, Austin in general.  The loft is very quiet, immaculately clean, and kept up well.  The host communicates promptly, and goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable."
383689,5768332,2013-07-15,7207990,Steven,My first airbnb experience - and *way* better than i could have dreamt ! awesome host - kick ass venue and the location was magic ! i'll be back!
383689,6259209,2013-08-05,2199144,David,Great location. Comfortable environment. Hard to not love. 
383689,6805437,2013-08-26,6141293,Brendon,"
Jamie's loft is perfect. Perfect location on East 4th Street with easy access to anything I needed - Wanderlust Yoga, Gold's gym, Rainey Street, spectacular food, kick-ass bars, smoothie bars, the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz cinema and the river were all within stone-throwing distance.

The loft looked amazing inside. Anybody who saw it commented on it. The air-con was a sub-arctic temperature. I can't comment on the TV, because Austin is way too interesting to stay inside. Jamie had condiments spare, if you maybe forgot something shopping. Ditto with some toiletries. She also left some great advice on bars and restaurants.

Halfway through my time there, Jamie organised her friend to clean the loft. Her friend cleaned it so well, that I was scared to even leave any mess after that. It looked immaculate. She ever did all my clothes and folded them, which was unexpected, but extremely generous.

My only wish for this place, is that I could have extended, haha. I think the local law makes you tap out after three weeks.

Although I didn't have any real contact with Jamie, she was as sweet as pie - everything was so well prepared and I was given tonnes of notice if anything needed to happen in the apartment. 

An overwhelmingly great experience."
383689,7016735,2013-09-03,1836244,Ian,Jamie's place is amazing. The location is perfect for those visiting Austin.  Jamie is a very gracious host and makes getting into her place simple.  
383689,7217558,2013-09-11,7076907,Carl,Fantastic place right in the center of town. Friendly neighbors... perfect location... and a private pool. What's not to like?
383689,7252303,2013-09-13,2133197,Jon And Kelley,"Jamie and Ben's apartment was a great place for our very brief visit to Austin.  I was in town with my string quartet and we needed to be within walking distance of the convention center and this is exactly where we were!  The apartment was quiet, clean and comfortable.  Jamie and Ben were very clear in their instructions and flexible with us when we had a slight issue with the sleeping arrangements.  I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone's visit to Austin."
383689,7478270,2013-09-22,4717587,Jim,This unit was great! I was in town for a convention.  The location could not have been been -- literally across the street from the convention center and near tons of restaurants and bars.  The unit itself was clean and cozy and provided more than enough space!  I would highly recommend for anybody staying downtown Austin!
383689,7601496,2013-09-26,5269988,Ian,"This is a great place! It has easy access to the downtown Austin scene and the neighborhood seemed safe even late at night. The keyless entry made for super easy access for multiple guests and check-in/out. Jamie was quick on communication and provided thorough instructions. The unit, although cozy, is well equipped. Recommended! "
383689,7980118,2013-10-11,5452752,Kate,"Jamie's place is great! I cannot overstate the convenience--it's a block from the convention center and just a few blocks from all kinds of great things downtown! The place is clean and adorable, and checkin/out could not have been easier. I would recommend it to anyone! "
383689,8248616,2013-10-22,5687056,Kyle,Awesome location! Walking distance to the main attractions and cafés. Directions and communication leading up to check in was regular and concise. Apartment itself was clean and tidy. Would stay here again when I visit Austin in the future
383689,8334320,2013-10-26,9282868,Quinby,"Great location, right across the street from the convention center. Excellent communication and hospitality. The accommodations were comfortable. If I need to stay in downtown Austin again, this would be my first choice."
383689,8365519,2013-10-28,7918841,Marita,"We enjoyed our stay at Jamie's.  She was very attentive to any questions I had.  The location was excellent.  We walked to restaurants and sites in the area.  
The downstair's room is very bright at night.  There are two lights right outside the window.  
We would stay there again."
383689,8445253,2013-10-31,8334371,Christina,We had a wonderful stay here. The location was perfect! A couple blocks from the heart of 6th street without the noise or commotion. It's across the street from the Marriott and Starbucks so cabs were ready and waiting! I highly recommend this loft for your next Austin trip! 
383689,8917799,2013-11-25,2758503,Brett,"This may be about the best place to stay in Austin. Jamie was extremely helpful through the whole process. The condo was exactly as shown in the photos, no surprises at all. They were very accommodating with suggestions on things to do, some snacks for the morning and plenty of blankets, toiletries and places to sleep. It was honestly more accommodating than staying at a hotel!

The location was also fantastic. It takes a couple of minutes to walk to all kinds of great restaurants and only a 5 minute walk to 6th street. They even have a parking space you can use that is covered so no fighting for a place to park outside. It's also located next door to the convention center so if you're there for an event, just walk across the street. I would stay again in a heartbeat. "
383689,8955529,2013-11-28,8945197,Niki,"Jaime's place was perfect for our stay in Austin! Our family of four stayed for three nights. With the bed, futon AND air mattress there was plenty of space for each of us. The loft looks exactly like the pictures, was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay again!!"
383689,9061217,2013-12-03,4148727,Thea,"This is a great place to stay.  The location is amazing - one block from the airport shuttle, a mile from the train station.  There's a cab stand across the street and buses three blocks away.  There are so many restaurants and clubs within walking distance you couldn't try them all in a month, and the Sixth Street strip is only two blocks away.

The apartment was very comfortable and clean, with a really comfy bed in the loft bedroom and a decent futon downstairs.  The kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, and everything you need to make yourself at home.

Jamie responded quickly to my emails and the whole thing was very professional.  I hope to stay here again!"
383689,9200381,2013-12-13,1039881,Marge,"Quiet, clean, great location, great hosts, cool place. "
383689,9232921,2013-12-15,10468358,Mindy,Jamie was incredibly helpful. The location is perfect for a downtown business trip. 
383689,9363644,2013-12-24,3223043,James & Angie,"This place is in a great location - only two blocks from 6th Street and an easy walk up to the Capitol Building and across to the awesome food vans! The apartment is very safe, comfortable and spacious. The secure parking lot and the washer and dryer were great. The check-in/check-out process was a breeze. The hosts keep the place very well stocked with soap, toilet paper and paper towels which is nice, as you don't see that a lot in AirBnb places! We had a great time in Austin, and a great stay in Jamie's apartment. "
383689,9442371,2013-12-29,647403,Chris,"Very cute loft. We ended up sleeping on the queen futon after the first night, since it was an easier trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night. The full bed is upstairs and bathroom is downstairs. 
Location is great, easy to walk to many bars and restaurants. "
383689,9522185,2014-01-01,6918596,Alec,"I stayed at several places around the U.S during my 2 week vacation, and this, to us, was the most beautiful place we were privileged to stay in. Located just a short walk from all of the action on 6th st., we'll definitely be staying here on further trips to Austin. Check in was made so easy and stress free, why cant every place on this site be more like this?!"
383689,9640901,2014-01-04,9762092,Claire,"Jamie's place is a perfect location. Everything is within walking distance! People are very nice and helpful, and I truly enjoyed my visit to Austin. Her place was clean, and she left a manual on what to/what not to do when staying in her place, which made it very helpful. "
383689,9759473,2014-01-08,10281511,Beck,The apartment was beautiful and comfortable. We were so much closer to our conference than expected! The whole experience was perfect.
383689,9798245,2014-01-11,9658250,Samuel,"Jamie's loft was a great place to stay in Austin. The loft was spacious, well furnished and clean, and the location was excellent, close to all the main sites and areas in Austin. 

I would highly recommend the loft to others and would stay there again on returning to Austin. "
383689,9924009,2014-01-20,9232315,Eric,"Jamie is great, really responsive, and awesome to deal with.  She has a great spot in Austin, and it made our first trip to Austin that much better.  Great location, and really comfortable place to stay.  Would return, and highly recommended!"
383689,10002064,2014-01-24,4987041,J.J.,Jamie's apartment is very nice -- located in the most perfect spot for getting to any place in downtown Austin. The apartment itself is very cozy and comfortable. We had a great stay here and would stay here again
383689,10084534,2014-01-29,5077495,Denis,Jamie's loft was perfect! Directions were very concise and everything was very well organized and spotless. Couldn't imagine a better Airbnb experience.
383689,10156287,2014-02-03,869186,Jennifer,"Jamie was very responsive and helpful.  The loft is the best location in the city, and was incredibly clean and organized.  Great Place!"
383689,10215413,2014-02-07,10250410,David,"Jamie's loft was my home away from home during my week-long conference at the Austin Convention Center. My experience was great from beginning to end. Jamie's instructions were clear and thorough, she answered my questions quickly, and the loft was very clean and well-furnished with the amenities I needed. I often ate meals in the apartment, so I appreciated all the kitchen conveniences. I particularly liked the secure building access, gated parking, wifi, coffee maker (with filters), and the overall appearance of the outdoor area with its fountains and courtyards. The location for me was superb--literally less than a one-minute walk across the street from the Convention Center. This was a huge convenience during the week. Any time I need a place to stay in Austin, I will be looking for Jamie's loft first!"
383689,10330565,2014-02-13,11736001,Cameron,"Jamie's place was great. We were in town for a conference and it was very close to where we had to be every day. The loft had everything we needed and was super clean. Margo the housekeeper was great too. Our team of 3 stayed comfortably with one on a futon and the other on the blowup mattress (which was awesome by the way!)

Very close to the 6th street nightlife too. Great place."
383689,10377540,2014-02-17,3629585,Clarissa,"This wonderful, hip, cozy apartment was located literally steps away from the Austin Convention Center, which was hosting an academic conference that some friends and I were in town for. There were 5 of us staying in the apt, and we all fit very comfortably: two in the full bed upstairs, two in the queen futon downstairs, and one in the queen inflatable bed downstairs in the living room. There were more than enough towels/linens for all of us. Coordinating bathroom time (there was one bathroom) was only a minor struggle. The apt. is right in the center of everything, just two blocks away from 6th St. where all the nighttime action is. Super convenient! And the host, Jamie, was always very responsive to my emails and really friendly, as well as extremely flexible when I asked for different check-in/check-out times. All in all my best AirBNB experience yet! I really hope to visit Austin again sometimes soon, and if I do, I will definitely be checking availability in this apt. first!"
383689,10541630,2014-02-24,4597116,Kelsey,"I know Jamie's listing says Loft in the Middle of Austin, but it REALLY is in the Middle of the BEST part of Austin! We parked the rental car, walked everywhere, had an amazing weekend in Jamie's spacious and super cool loft! Short walks to shopping, restaurants, farmers market, capital, and nightlife. Everything you could possibly need is provided- great kitchen, glassware, linens and the complex itself is quiet. The only downside was not bringing my running  shoes and missing a morning jog along the gorgeous river walk just a minute's walk away. No better place to stay!"
383689,10655231,2014-03-02,10536425,Steve,"This was our first AirBNB experience. And it was good.

The loft is as pictured. The location and parking work well. Jamie was hospitable and responsive to my questions. Everything basically worked.

A couple things to know that aren't obvious.
1. The internet/wifi isn't very secure. It's the condo's wifi not the unit. We didn't realize that until we were there. Because of our need to work and have a secure connection, we probably would have opted for somewhere else if we had realized the wifi situation. We're very careful about our internet security and so this was a bit of a difficulty. 

2. The hot water heater was a wee bit small and didn't support two longish back to back showers. 

These really aren't complaints as much as FYIs.

Overall a very good experience!

383689,10784951,2014-03-07,2664694,Whynde,"This was a fantastic place and Jamie was an incredible host.  The loft is cozy and fun with an absolutely perfect location downtown.  Jamie could not have been a better host--she was responsive, so kind, made everything easy and was very hospitable!  I can't say enough good things and would definitely stay here again or recommend it to anyone!"
383689,11001006,2014-03-17,10387869,Anna,We had a great stay in Jamie's downtown loft while in Austin for SXSW. It was an ideal central location to get around during the festival. Jamie was very accommodating and helpful with all of our questions. This was a great find late in the game for a place to stay during our time in Austin. 
383689,11131592,2014-03-22,12507297,Katherine,"Jamie and Ben's loft was exactly what I'd hoped it would be - well-equipped, comfortable, stylish, and in the perfect location. Catching the bus from the airport couldn't have been easier and Jamie's excellent directions helped me find everything I needed in the loft and surrounding neighborhood. Jamie thought of *everything* a guest might need - she even provided travel guides with updates and her own recommendations and notes. Such a gracious host! Highly recommended if you're looking for a place that feels like home right in the middle of downtown Austin."
383689,11342472,2014-03-31,5047711,Robert,"The location of this unit was perfect. 6th Street 2 blocks away. Walked to Rainey St several times. I received a bunch of helpful emails from Jamie/airbnb before my arrival with confirmation and check-in information. I noticed a broken blind on arrival and notified Jamie. She responded immediately that she was aware of it and had a new one arriving within a few days.  The unit was great for my wife and I.  The sleeper bed would have easily made the condo great for 3-4. Not much room for unpacking, especially if we were 3-4 people but it was no problem for us. 6th Street was very busy but the unit was very quiet. We used the convenient bcycle rental bikes several times (bcycle phone app)."
383689,11479201,2014-04-04,12742401,Stephanie,"Great experience, will definitely stay here the next time I am in austin. Loved this place as it was completely private. Jamie provided us with perfect directions on how to enter the property and left all the information we could possibly need on the counter upon our arrival. The location couldn't be better, although we had a car, it just sat in the (provided) parking spot the entire stay, as everything is within walking distance. Could not have asked for a better location. Finally,
The condo itself is beautifully decorated. Jamie and I apparenlty have similar tastes, and I loved the colorful decor. There are no door on the bedrooms so it important to be sharing this space with someone you are comfortable with as there isn't a ton of privacy. But I am not at all complaining."
383689,11535012,2014-04-07,2654435,Jenni,"Jamie's loft was absolutely perfect!  Everything was as described and the location was ideal- we didn't have a car but we walked everywhere...Rainey St, SoCo, 6th St, capitol building, etc.  Additionally it was a block away from the Airport Flyer ($1.50 to or from the airport).  It was the perfect apt for the weekend and I definitely recommend staying here!"
383689,11658258,2014-04-11,4746685,Christina,We had a fantastic time in Austin! The loft was as described and pictured on airbnb. Amazing location with 6th street bars right on our doorstep. Would definitely stay here again.
383689,11792099,2014-04-15,4678398,John,"Our host was very accommodating. The apartment was as expected. Clean and well kept. Location was excellent. Short walk to 6th street, 2nd street, and Rainey street districts. Bus to the airport was across the street. Very favorable experience. "
383689,11915003,2014-04-19,1710086,Erin,"Everything was super convenient from check-in to check-out.  This spot was kitty corner from the bus line that goes to and from the airport which made getting to and from very easy, and it was very walkable to all the downtown sports.  I'd highly recommend staying here!  "
383689,12031523,2014-04-21,14270600,Jacque,Jamie's place was great! The location is perfect for walking the city and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. We will definitely look her up for our next visit!

383689,12883642,2014-05-13,12823026,Josephine,"Very cosy apartment with nice deco. Well equipped kitchen.  Location is excellent, very near to 6th Street. The check in and check out instructions were clearly communicated. Overall we had a pleasant stay."
383689,12983220,2014-05-16,14863657,Brian,It was more that I needed but after a work trip it was nice to transition into an actual home verses a hotel room. The location was great and it served as the perfect home base of for my cycling adventures around Austin.
383689,13234310,2014-05-22,12135835,Aubrey,"Love love love the place! This was my second time staying and I would definitely recommend the place. Perfect location, cleanly and Jaime is very accommodating!"
383689,13647227,2014-06-02,4552387,Tj,"The loft is exactly as it looks, but equipped with so many extras from laundry detergent to hairspray to beach towels, which I haven't found at other apartments. It had everything to live comfortably. If you want to be near the bars on 6th or Rainey, they are super close. Fantastic spot and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place. Jamie was always available when we contacted her. Great stay. Thank you for having us. "
383689,13841007,2014-06-06,6030124,Austin,"The location, right across the street from the convention center and within walking distance of everything you could need, is perfect. The building is clean and easy to access."
383689,14623057,2014-06-23,11343902,Mark,"First trip to Austin Texas and first experience with AirBNB.  Both were great.  The loft was fantastic: Clean, Great A/C, and had everything you need.  It was super easy to find thanks to the great directions provided.  It is the perfect spot if you are traveling without a car: walking distance to everything downtown and far enough away that late night noise is no issue.  Well worth the cost. Plus with the Courtyard Marriott next door you can take advantage of easy taxi access.  "
383689,14817149,2014-06-27,2363354,Teresa,"What. Perfect location. Next to convention center, 2 Blocks  from sixth street- closes to  greats Bridge and River walk and lots of Restaurants. The loft is stocked with everything you need . Yoga Matt weights and all. The space and furniture nice . The one thing is 3rd floor and no stairs. Which was fine for me. May of concern for some. Great hosts ! Love to stay again.   "
383689,15186466,2014-07-04,11870207,"DeVon, Jen And Seth","Jamie did a great job of responding quickly (usually within 1-3 hours); the listing was as presented and very comfortable accomodations with recent updates.   Great neighborhood.... LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!   Walking distance to all places (music, food, and great entertainment).  Probably too far to Barton Springs on a really hot day, but...   Enjoyed the small, but nice pool.   It felt really good after a run or relaxing in the sun."
383689,15419574,2014-07-08,8477795,Sadia,"This space was awesome! Wonderful and modern, and Jamie left so many nice extra amenities available for the guest. Really enjoyed this apt!"

And the location can't be beat-- so close to 6th street and the bat bridge and even close to South Congress. Plus a parking space?!!! Perfect. Jamie was a great host and it's easy check/out. "
383689,15638379,2014-07-13,12248091,Valerie,This apartment was very convenient for us. It was close distance to sixth and not too far from rainy street. The people at the apartments were very nice and i would definitely stay again. Apartment had a cute style. 
383689,15707967,2014-07-14,17218749,Travis,"Everything was perfect: the location, the loft, and the instructions. Jamie put everything we needed to know about the place and even had extra tourist info. Very well kept and I hope to stay again soon"

The apartment was very nice and in a PERFECT location in downtown Austin. Highly recommend for anyone travelling to Austin. "
383689,16306657,2014-07-25,13521933,Robin,"Perfect setup if you are in Austin for a conference or just want to be close to downtown. Steps to the conference center and very close to most DT locations. Having a parking spot was fantastic too. Comfortable bed and well appointed apartment. Jaime's instructions were very clear. Didn't have a chance to check out the pool. Bathroom is on the ground floor with bed up in the loft, not a problem but you just have to be careful for midnight bathroom runs :)"
383689,16382743,2014-07-26,10110399,Patrick,"The location of this place is perfect.  It's just off 6th street which makes quiet and close.  The neighorhood is safe and next to other hotels and condos.  If you're looking for place that is convenient for a few people, this is great.  Lastly, the decor is cool and they have a compiled a book of suggestions for places to eat, tours, bars ect..  It's very nice to have that local input.   4 stars for me because everything was accurate in the descriptions and the location was great for the price.  "
383689,16563250,2014-07-29,16623758,Kylie,Loft was exactly as pictured/described. Location could not have been better. We enjoyed our stay very much and would stay here again! 
383689,16784952,2014-08-02,10111403,Jennifer,"Great place to stay in Austin! Amazing location. Jamie does a great job making guests feel welcome with a binder that includes details on the house, recommendations for nearby restaurants, etc. Bedroom gets great morning light. However, be prepared to go down the spiral staircase at night if you have to use the restroom. Love the location, and love that parking is an option, as street parking nearby is hard to find."
383689,16941636,2014-08-04,13612281,Ben,"Jamie is a great host. She is very organized and responsive, having provided tremendous detail on her apartment's location, check-in and rules. I had no questions or concerns upon arriving at her place. Furthermore, the location is superb. Very close to everything that's going on in Austin. Would definitely recommend staying here. "
383689,17243842,2014-08-09,19255064,Jamie,"Great location, great apartment. Perfect for anyone that wants to be close to downtown Austin. "
383689,17395626,2014-08-11,13874483,Hassan,Great experience.  Central location. Walk to anywhere. Clean and tidy kept and we couldn't ask for anything more. Would recommend if you are visiting Austin.
383689,17777735,2014-08-17,18750455,Casey,"Jamie was a great host. She was prompt with her responses and made communication easy. Also, she was flexible when accommodating different check in times, since I was flying from out of state. The loft was just like the picture showed, very clean and modern. The location was close to the heart of downtown and all the dinner meetings and activities I attended while in town."
383689,18102914,2014-08-21,20277837,Andy Bethel,"Great little spot. Clean, close to some great locations. Highly recommend. "
383689,18469033,2014-08-27,12168582,Nathan,"Jamie's place was perfect. Plenty of space, clean, aircon ( a must because it was over 100 while we were there) location was close to everything. I don't have a bad word to say. Jamie was quick to respond to any questions I had, if I was to go back to austin I'd definitely stay there again. "
383689,19730843,2014-09-17,10643691,Nancy,"Jamie was extremely responsive when I first inquired on this listing, finding me a yoga studio that is just one block away.  The loft looks EXACTLY like the picture, truth in advertising!  It's in a nice complex 1/2 block from the Convention Center and was such a nice treat to have a whole apt. to myself for the same price as a hotel room. I was here for a convention and everything was perfect!  There's even a washer/dryer which was needed after the hot yoga I did!  Will stay here again, you can walk to ""everywhere"" including the nice trail along the river and all the restaurants & shops of downtown.  "
383689,19815372,2014-09-19,12252570,Tyson,"Great place to stay, with everything you need.  The kitchen is stocked, extra towels and linens, nice TV and it's spacious.  Laundry detergent was a nice touch.  Light, bright, clean and only a few steps from the convention center.  This will be the only place I stay when visiting Austin in the future.  Jamie is very friendly, quick to respond and both her and the on site property manager make you feel right at home. Highest recommendation!  Thanks for a great stay!"
383689,19896317,2014-09-20,14972684,Nick,"Location was amazing, around the corner from so much. Anything you need to know is left in an amazingly detailed and convenient binder which we definitely used. When you even see all the light switches are labeled, you know you are with good company. I would highly recommend this property and host to anyone!"
383689,20151391,2014-09-24,547682,Justin,What an excellent place to stay! This apartment was close to everything!  We stayed here for a conference and was able to enjoy delicious restaurants nearby and we were very close to an excellent jogging path along the river.  It was easy to Uber anywhere else we wanted to go also.  All essentials were provided. We'd definitely stay here again.
383689,20288547,2014-09-27,13554597,Sarah-Jane,"I really can't say enough great things about the loft and Jamie!  As a host, Jamie has been super helpful, flexible and quick to respond.  The loft is exactly as listed and fabulously convenient for Downtown Austin and a very pleasant place to stay.  I really can't recommend it enough. "
383689,20730686,2014-10-04,16708906,Joseph,"What a nice place to stay, thank you so much jamie, this place is in the ideal location, and the apt was very nice. I will definitely stay here again the next time i'm in town."
383689,20807977,2014-10-05,7250528,Byron,"Nice location in the mid of down town, very nice and clean. Parking included. Jamie was easy to communicate with and every thing was as expected and seen in the description and pictures. Highly recommended for any occasion. "
383689,20986840,2014-10-09,61601,Nick,"Excellent place - especially for a convention.  Super convenient, right on the airport bus and rail line, walkable to everything.  Very quiet and comfy!"
383689,21401713,2014-10-16,461011,Mike,Jamie was very responsive and a great hostess. The place is super clean and full of amenities. Location is superb and highly recommended for anyone with business in downtown Austin or the Convention Center. My stay was perfect and looking forward to staying here again. Thank you again Jamie :)
383689,21883331,2014-10-26,371867,Matt,Had a great stay. 
383689,22061329,2014-10-29,19823823,Dani,"Our experience at Jamie's loft apartment was excellent.  The apartment itself was quite spacious with a full kitchen and bathroom, very clean and tidy, and perfectly located for the Austin Convention Centre.  Jamie was very professional in her dealings with us and we have no complaints!"
383689,22164695,2014-10-31,22804227,William,"Fantastic Place in a fantastic location, will definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in walking distance to the entire city."
383689,22419087,2014-11-05,5476271,Beaudry,"Decent, comfortable space. Had a minor issue with the hot water but host resolved quickly; only other thing to note is that the bed will be a bit short for anyone over 5'10. Otherwise very centrally located and convenient. "
383689,22484963,2014-11-08,19651219,Ryan,"Had a wonderful stay at Jamie's loft in Austin. Exactly as described, no surprises. Though we had no problems, I am sure Jamie would have responded quickly to resolve any issues!"
383689,22905512,2014-11-17,1018647,Pierre,"The apartment is in a really fantastic location right in the heart of the city and right next to the convention center. With a bed, pull-out futon and queen inflatable bed it comfortably sleeps 3 (if not more). Jamie was very responsive and we'd definitely like to stay here again."
383689,23101800,2014-11-23,21106723,Jaclyn,Great place to stay in Austin! This was my first airbnb experience and it was great! Super clean. Great location. Exactly as shown in pictures. Lots of great restaurants and bars within walking distance! Must try Max's Wine Dive! 
383689,23278458,2014-11-27,1851478,Curtis,"Very easy, especially with the keyless entry.  Place as advertised.  Excellent location--near bars, restaurants, and town lake.  "
383689,23451935,2014-12-01,3173943,Terry,"We had a great stay in Austin. Jamie was very helpful, and the loft was just as we expected. The location to downtown, 6th street, the Colorado River parks, and South Congress couldn't be better. We were able to walk to many of the places we wanted to go. We would definitely stay there again."
383689,23653335,2014-12-07,19259461,Josue,"The loft was amazing, very well decorated and had everything you need to stay for the weekend or longer. Very clean and tidy. The location is awesome, walking distance from 6th. Im definitely staying here again. "
383689,23792184,2014-12-10,21307283,Colin,Jamie was an excellent host.  The information he provided was comprehensive and the apartment was outstanding.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Jamie and his beautiful apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Austin.
383689,23890273,2014-12-14,8868890,Adam,"Working with Jamie was incredibly easy -- apartment was great (centrally located, clean, easy to access) and we loved our stay."
383689,24158106,2014-12-21,24081270,Sofia,"Jamie did a great job making my friends and I feel welcome and making check in and check out as easy and convenient as possible!! The neighborhood was wonderful, walking distance from almost anything you would want to do while in Austin."
383689,24257367,2014-12-23,21011312,R And J,"The location of this place was superb!!! It was in the heart of downtown Austin, and not far from any place we went, on our 2 day stay. If you want to have a home base, and quiet space to for your down time, but be close to the action of the city, this place is perfect. No frills. Just a nice place to stay and call home. "
383689,24435073,2014-12-28,5743102,Bryan,"We had a great stay! Great place in an awesome location! Thanks, Jamie!"
383689,25278484,2015-01-11,7449683,Lillian,"It's clear that Jamie is an experienced host: she provided everything that we needed and more! Jamie's place was perfect for my group of 4. The place is bright, colorful, and exactly as the pictures depicted. The instructions that Jamie provided via email and her hand-held manual were incredibly clear and easy-to-follow. So easy that I barely had to communicate with Jamie at all. There was everything that I needed in the house handbook - instructions to get to and from the airport (super easy), recommendations on where to go and how to get there, and super clear instructions on what to expect. "
383689,25645459,2015-01-21,26126154,Andrew,Loft was as explained and nice. The location was excellent and very close to many things!
383689,25658340,2015-01-22,20825376,Joseph,"Bottom line, I would stay in any of Jamie's apartments again. Three criteria to rate: people (5+ stars), location (5), and the apartment (3), total score is 4. Jamie and her on-site manager Margaux were just great. Because of scheduling, I wanted to have an early breakfast in the apt, didn't have time to shop, and even though they had never done this before, Jamie and Margaux purchased the ingredients cheerfully to help me in a pinch. (Margaux is a hoot, if you are lucky you will meet her) The location is just off sixth street where all the bars, pool halls, and hotels are clustered. Perfect. The unit was as advertised, but you may want to think hard about the layout. To get to the apartment you have to climb two flights of partially covered metal stairs and then across a long outdoor tiled walkway to get to the unit. Did I mention it rained during my whole 36-hour visit? The unit is well sized, and well stocked, but the layout is inconvenient. The bedroom is in a loft up a circular metal staircase, and the loft holds a bed, a side table, and a low book case. No closet, no armoire, no chest of drawers. There are some hangers downstairs by the laundry but not enough room there for the rest of your clothes, so I found myself going up and down the circular stairs since some of my clothes were upstairs and some down. Also, you can't control the loft light from downstairs, so at bedtime I had to go upstairs, turn on the light, then come downstairs and turn out the downstairs light (since I did not want to climb the circular stairs in the dark). Finally, the window treatments did not block much street light, though I slept fine. I don't think everyone would have as big an issue with the layout as I did, and Jamie was totally transparent about it, but I did not quite notice it during sign up, so I'm pointing it out to you.
One other point. This is my second Airbnb stay. My first was more of the ""classic"" experience, where the host was right there and we had a great time. Jamie is an ""Airbnb entrepreneur"", and does not live in Austin, so the experience is much more like staying in a VRBO vacation rental, with an absentee owner. I did not realize how much my in-house host added to my first visit. Again, Jamie was totally transparent about where she lives, I just had not thought about the difference and will in the future, and if you are a newbie you should figure out how much the interaction with the host matters to you. I found out it matters to me. You could not have a better absentee landlord and manager than Jamie and Margaux, nor a better located apartment. When I return to Austin I will look at this unit again, but will consider others too."
383689,25729285,2015-01-24,19075886,Josh,"Our stay was brief, but we really enjoyed the fantastic location just off of 6th street. The apartment was beautifully decorated and clean, and we really appreciated the list of things to do provided by our hosts. 

Our only complaint was the noise level in the apartment during the night. We heard multiple conversations and even a fight! Other than this, A+. "
383689,25789669,2015-01-26,4456947,Madelyn,"This place was great!  Located in downtown Austin, this was the perfect place for three of us to stay.  We were in Austin for the 3M Half Marathon and had a wonderful time."
383689,25927838,2015-01-30,24884505,Wei,The host is super welcoming and the place is as nice as the picture shows. I like the kitchen where I could even make simple stuff like fried eggs. Very positive experience.
383689,26121753,2015-02-03,21285760,Franco,Really nice spot.  The neighborhood was great.  We were close enough to Soco that we could hop over there and could also enjoy 6th street with extreme ease.  Lots of shops and restaurants nearby.  Definitely would consider staying here again!  
383689,26212313,2015-02-07,25320629,Steven,"Jamie made us feel very welcome.  The place was exactly as described and looks exactly as it does in the photos.  The location would not be beat.  We were directly across the street from the convention center and were only two blocks from 6th street, the heart of Austin's nightlife.  We are so happy to have booked here and would easily book again if in Austin.  I am so happy we chose this accomodation."
383689,26280789,2015-02-08,13905393,Jesse & Talli,"Best Part: location! We were able to walk down to 6th street and have a great night in Austin.  Our trip was short, only one night, but we loved our stay here. We felt welcomed and comfortable.  Jamie's instructions were very detailed and left little to ambiguity. We appreciated that as hosts ourselves. 

Overall, this is a great place to stay! "
383689,26401862,2015-02-11,26927192,Brian,Comfortable and clean loft in an unbeatable location. Situated in an ideal spot to make most city destinations just a short walk away. Checking in and out were seamless thanks to an experienced host. Would definitely stay here again.
383689,26526446,2015-02-15,25476092,Corinne,"Great location, and loved the place -- it was a perfect launchpad for exploring Austin! Jamie's instructions were super helpful, as was her binder full of info and recommendations. Our group of four felt totally comfortable. "
383689,27541836,2015-03-07,27175166,Zack,"The place was just about perfect. You almost can't get closer to the Convention Center, which is what brought me to town. Jamie's communication was great, proactive, and very responsive."
383689,28116058,2015-03-18,21427034,Laura,"Staying at the Loft was utterly fantastic -- we couldn't have asked for anything more during our stay for SXSW. Not only was it the perfect location, Jamie was a kind and attentive host. With food and booze waiting for us upon arrival, and on call support for internet issues (Time Warners problem not Jamie's) we had a seamless experience. I hope we have the opportunity to stay with Jamie again, she deserves the highest recommendation!"
383689,28248847,2015-03-21,2989313,Dave,"Jamie was very responsive to any questions prior to arrival. Once on site, her property manger was great! Very welcoming and happy to help with anything we needed. The condo itself was great. Unbeatable location for any events surrounding the convention center. I would recommend to others."
383689,28565988,2015-03-26,7580015,Ryan,"This apartment was fantastic! We had two people. I slept on the futon and my friend slept upstairs in the loft. The apartment looks exactly as pictured and the location is great.

We arrived during the last day of SXSW. We were right by most of the festivities. But we're also on the edge of a very nice part of town. 

Will definitely try to stay here again if I get back to Austin!"
383689,28635612,2015-03-27,29857874,Mary,We enjoyed our stay. Walked the two short blocks over for the 6th St experience. So convenient for that. Nice parking. Easy to gain entrance. Clean. Thank you.
383689,29936783,2015-04-14,20518081,Jason,"The loft is very well decorated and in a prime location to most attractions in the Austin area. The communication with Jamie prior to and upon arrival was excellent. She responded quickly to all questions. Even with a couple small blips that were out of her control, she was very gracious and accommodating to rectify them. We would definitely stay here again when in Austin. Margaux, the property manager, is wonderful to talk to as well. Thanks!!"
383689,30008216,2015-04-15,14860750,Candice,Great neighborhood in walking distance to all the fun restaurants and bars on 6th street. We didn't spend much time at the condo but it definitely suited our needs! The condo was very clean! I recommend printing and having handy Jamie's codes for both the gate and door entrance. I would recommend this place if you're staying in Austin and want to be close to  all that 6th street has to offer! 
383689,30968321,2015-04-29,24058292,Graham,We had a great time staying here. Everything was as described and the keyless entry system on arrival and throughout the stay worked excellently. Margaux the onsite cleaner was very helpful and friendly. Location is great - close to 6th Street and the Colorado River. We would stay here again if we return to Austin.
383689,31342115,2015-05-04,12513546,Mary,"The apartment was as described. Wonderful location as we could we could walk everywhere downtown we wanted to. Easy access to the building and apartment. Jamie was able to answer all questions that we had, once we were there we had no issues so we had no need to contact her. This place is located in such a great area that you do get a somewhat loud crowd during late hours walking in the street. It didn't bother us but I could see it potential bothering someone. Over all a great place to stay and Jamie was great to work with! Highly recommended! "
383689,32149482,2015-05-14,8068769,J,"The apartment was awesome! It was exactly as pictured. Great location with ease of access to both Rainey Street, 6th Street and downtown conference center and hotels. Perfect for business or leisure travel."
383689,32537078,2015-05-19,6429253,Megan,This loft was clean and comfortable and in a great location in downtown Austin. The information and instructions we were provided prior to our visit was helpful although the host did not respond to any of my attempts at contact following the initial reservation confirmation. We were able to get assistance from the property manager. The building is secure and removed from the street.
383689,32971281,2015-05-24,2482664,Ann,Instructions were clear and we were made to feel welcome.
383689,33271329,2015-05-26,1414533,Philip,"Jamie did a great job communicating with us and she was really responsive when we had questions.  The loft was as described.  The location was close to everything and we loved exploring the neighborhood.  We were provided with everything we needed - clean linens and towels, comfortable beds, and a nice big fridge.  Getting in and out of the complex was an ease and there were no complications at all.  The only issue we had was that the cable on the tv would go in and out (probably due to the weather/cable provider).  She was also very accommodating about leaving our bags the day we checked out, since we had a flight leaving later in the day.  I would highly recommend staying at Jamie's loft!"
383689,34759342,2015-06-11,24831604,Brian,"Unit was very clean, comfortable and nice and close for what we needed. 

Only 2 dings against the unit.  One, the spiral staircase in the middle of the night was hard to navigate. Second, and more annoyingly, someone decided to power wash all the hallways and stairs in the building starting at 7:15am!  Rude awakening, although not a likely occurrence for every stay. "
383689,34788522,2015-06-12,14406783,Beth,The apartment was clean and ready upon arrival.  The space is VERY SMALL.  It is a great option for a couple/2 people if you are going to be spending most of your time out of the apartment exploring Austin.  The location is great and has easy access to lots of things.
383689,34995680,2015-06-14,29344678,Stella,"The unit was perfectly located, very comfortable, and the property manager Margaux was super attentive and pleasant. Would definitely stay there again."
383689,35388247,2015-06-18,32844160,Ken,"Jamie’s apartment is great! It was clean, quiet, looked like the pictures, and the AC worked well and keeping things cool inside.  You can’t beat the location which is steps from the entrance to the Convention Center and a short walk to many fun music venues, restaurants and hotels.  Watch your head on the spiral stair case to the loft room. I had a couple of questions about the parking spot and internet which Jamie and the manager quickly answered. They are very helpful and accommodating. I’d stay here again and recommend it to others. "
383689,36120889,2015-06-25,34868086,Justin,Nice apartment in a fun area of the city.  Pictures captured the reality of the apartment very well.
383689,36694344,2015-06-30,34376677,Chad,"Place was great. Amazing location!  Didnt spend over $10 in uber select ride anywhere we went in downtown for far away trips. Mostly could walk everywhere were we wanted to. Even to the capital. Very descriptive and easy directions for the check in progress, parking, and entry's. Jamie was incredibly fast with responses to which is a huge deal to me. Washer and dryer came in very handy for my trip across country. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay again in a heart beat. Can't even get a hotel for the price of this whole condo.  "
383689,37569604,2015-07-08,18766292,Russell,The condo was just as described. Perfect for my son and I. Jamie was quick to respond and was a great help. I won't stay anywhere else when I travel to Austin!
383689,37784996,2015-07-10,36572802,Patrick,"Jamie has gone to great lengths to make her guests feel welcome by creating a guide her favorite places to visit and eat in Austin, and by providing a comfortable and truly unique place to stay in such an interesting city. The loft is in a great neighborhood in a central location downtown, making it easy to get to anywhere you want go during your trip. If you're looking to stay downtown, you should absolutely consider this loft."
383689,38420560,2015-07-15,36241884,Trey,"This apartment was a great home during our visit to Austin.  The pictures are a good representation of the apartment, and the keyless system is very convenient.  Our only complaints: it was awfully bright in the mornings in the bedroom loft, and my wife bemoaned the lack of a full-length mirror.  Still, I'd recommend the place for a visit to Austin, and it was great to have a parking space downtown. 4/5 Stars."
383689,38743296,2015-07-18,14151315,Ben,"We loved Jamie's loft! Its gorgeous and perfect for 2 people. It's only 2 blocks away from 6th street, so the nightlife was amazing, even during the middle of the week. There are many good restaurants within a couple blocks, and Jamie left a list of them for us to choose from. This was byfar the easiest and most enjoyable trip I have ever had. Jamie sent a detailed list of instructions on how to access her space, as well as what to do when checking out, which made our trip much more enjoyable as we didn't have to worry about anything. On our last day I even left my laptop in the room after checking out, but her property manager was awesome and took it straight to FedEx to have it shipped within hours of us leaving. Awesome experience and amazing people. Stay with Jamie!"
383689,38886849,2015-07-19,33068581,Aayush,Exactly as described. Great place!
383689,39468158,2015-07-23,39125167,Mitchell,Fantastic stay. The apartment is a great size and had everything I needed while in Austin. Would definitely recommend.
383689,39804078,2015-07-26,15391581,Karen,"This was a perfect place to stay in Austin.  The loft was exactly as described and it was stocked well and ready for my stay.  If you are hesitant to try an AirBNB, you can't go wrong with this place!! I will definitely book this again when I am in Austin.  The location was ideal and all the necessary information to plan my stay was really well laid out."
383689,40514993,2015-07-31,39139870,Michelle,"Fantastic location - right downtown, within walking distance of shopping and restaurants, and close to the highway for easy access to other areas of Austin. Loft itself is very comfortable, and the property is gated, which is important to me. Jamie and Ben have been thoughtful enough to provide everything you might need during your stay. I'll be returning when I travel back to Austin!"
383689,41470936,2015-08-07,39466312,Ryan,Great spot! Would rent it again!
383689,41750171,2015-08-09,33673262,Dillon,This listing was exactly as advertised. It was extremely close to the Austin Convention Center (right across the street). The staff on hand was very helpful and the hosts were responsive with my questions. This was a great experience!
383689,42211521,2015-08-11,17430055,Samantha,"The loft is in a great location. Close to downtown Austin and Congress St., which has lots of great places to eat and shop. I really enjoyed my stay here. They were extremely accommodating and even let me leave my bag here after check out time on the day I was leaving because I had a later flight."
383689,42420734,2015-08-13,4145904,Peggy,"Great location! Walking distance to good restaurants, happy hours, live music venues, and good breakfast food. 
Jamie's instructions were incredibly clear so checking in and out was very easy.  The unit was clean and exactly as advertised. Would definitely recommend."
383689,42802703,2015-08-15,36486197,Valentina,Jamie is nice and very responsive! Her house manual has everything you need but she is also available by phone and text. The place is just as it looks. It was perfect for the one night I stayed in Austin and so close to 6th street. I definitely recommend it!
383689,43214532,2015-08-18,9300779,Amanda,"We absolutely loved our stay in Austin and at Jamie's place. The whole booking and check-in process was so simple and when we arrived, the place was just what we wanted- clean, comfortable, exactly like the photos and in a great location! It was great to also have a carpark considering how in heart of everything we were. Would highly recommend Jamie's apartment! 
Thanks Jamie for a wonderful stay and for the welcome pack with all the great tips!"
383689,43766169,2015-08-22,3054964,Molly,"Lovely little loft with all we needed. The location is wonderful and I enjoyed the quiet zone in a busy area :-) The little bed in the loft is comfy and cozy...felt like staying at a friends house. Their onsite manager, Margaux is so friendly and helpful and everyone was so friendly!"
383689,44816588,2015-08-29,39139870,Michelle,"My stay at the modern loft was once again lovely. Check-in instructions were easy to follow, and I love that the parking is in a gated lot. Jamie and Ben provide everything one might need during their stay! "
383689,44997447,2015-08-30,41771736,Katie,"Jamie was very friendly and had great communication. Everything in the house was clearly labeled and she had clear instructions in her house manual. The location of her apartment was perfect! It's walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants. My only complaint is that the bathroom door is partially see through and doesn't close all the way, which was a bit awkward."
383689,45988315,2015-09-07,31851859,Carmelina,Jaime was very responsive and accommodating.  
383689,46947641,2015-09-14,13237229,Heather,"The perfect place to stay in Austin. Great location, cute and comfortable loft. Margaux the property manager was so sweet and helpful! "
383689,47627088,2015-09-21,23681925,Michael,"The loft was awesome -- clean, wonderful location, and everything it's shown to be. Jamie was super responsive to any questions.  Definitely had a good experience."
383689,48235828,2015-09-24,4060885,Allen,"This listing is handled by a management company.  They were responsive to any requests I had and respectful of my privacy.

Checkin went smoothly and and was very straight forward.

Location was right next to the convention center and there was a Car2Go pod nearby that was very helpful for transportation around Austin.

The apartment was quiet and exactly as described.

That said it's only a short stroll over to a lot of awesome austin restaurants, bars, and lively night life.

I would definitely recommend staying here want to be down town."
383689,48362951,2015-09-25,44755396,Liz,"Cute loft in a great area! Thank you, Jamie and Margaux, for being such gracious hosts!"
383689,48531803,2015-09-27,26859831,Rob,"Stay was fine. Unit was very clean and in a very central location. All in all it worked for what we needed (36 hours in town for a wedding). 

The ceilings in the loft are a little low and the spiral staircase is positioned partly in the walkway, in a way that makes it easy to hit your head, which did happen. Bed was also a bit smaller than anticipated (double vs. a queen), though that is because I didn't read the description clearly enough! 

The TV did not work, which was disappointing, given I wanted to watch football during the break between ceremony and reception, but I managed and the property manager, Margeaux, was quick to get the ball rolling on a fix (which happened after we left). Jamie was very kind in proactively providing me a $10 refund for our troubles. 

All in all, this was centrally located and just fine for what we needed. "
383689,49038825,2015-09-30,5628540,Tony,"Conveniently located, quiet, hassle free!"
383689,49590125,2015-10-05,22529994,Hali,"Jamie and Ben were amazing hosts! Jamie was very communicative and made the experience seamless. The location of the loft was PRIME! It is walking distance everywhere and located between outstanding restaurants. I am a huge coffee person, and the Starbucks across the street was ideal. Jamie was a wonderful host and I'd suggest staying here! Again, great location! "
383689,49931826,2015-10-07,91733,Katherine,Excellent location within walking distance of everything you could want in Austin and additional suggestions from Jaime brought more to light. Easily accommodates one person or multiple people without feeling cramped. Check in and out was a breeze and I would highly recommend!
383689,50429549,2015-10-12,4068216,Liz,Great stay!
383689,50903002,2015-10-15,9428523,Manish,off the bat Jamie was very good a responding and answered any questions i may of had. the location of this place is incredible! Walking distance to some of the best food and bars. the place itself was exactly how it was described. The loft was incredibly clean and felt like home. This place is a steal!
383689,51155443,2015-10-18,37401953,David,"Great location. On site manager was very helpful and accommodating. Unit was as described and comfortable for us. We found coffee,fruit and eggs waiting for us. We chose to eat out but the kitchen looked servicable had we opted to cook."
383689,51517955,2015-10-20,43811952,Vivian,"We had a great time at Jamie's loft on our last minut trip. The place was very clean. Location was perfect, easy walk to every where. Would stay again in a heart beat."
383689,51619883,2015-10-22,1991977,Scott,"This spot was very convenient for attending the convention center.  Some things were provided, like eggs, coffee, etc., which was nice.  Jamie was very responsive to my communications and very friendly.  Instructions for entering and exiting the building were clear and simple.  I'd stay here again.  The bathroom door didn't shut and is somewhat transparent, but that wasn't an issue for us.  A towel can be draped over one of the door hooks if more privacy is desired."
383689,51811332,2015-10-24,36476431,Sam,This was our first AirBnB experience and it was terrific! Perfect location to walk everywhere! Very clean. Great keypad entry with parking space. Would stay again :)
383689,52040132,2015-10-26,34214853,Sanjay,Great location and great space. Had a great time and highly recommend to others. Location is really hard to beat if you are looking for a place nearby 6th street!
383689,52419724,2015-10-29,25218348,Marisa,"The loft home was exactly as pictured.  Easy self check-in and all the amenities you need.  Being on the courtyard side, it reduced the noise of the busy downtown area.  The location was perfect and the parking space was a huge bonus.   I had a question on my stay and Jamie quickly responded.  Thanks for the hospitality."
383689,52564011,2015-10-30,15186135,Donald,"- place was great, exactly what you see in pictures, very clean ,jamie was a great host, constant messaging if i need anything, etc. "

2371765,10982655,2014-03-16,12128621,Nicole,"Great place to stay - comfy bed, luxurious shower, quick bus line into downtown Austin, friendly renter & neighbor. Christina is so friendly and made sure we were comfortable while we stayed there. "
5007048,26334903,2015-02-09,26879424,Jessica,"This is the first time my husband and I used AirBNB. After our experience with AJ, we are looking forward to using it again in the future. We were headed to Austin to attend a wedding for the weekend, and booked the stay less than 5 days before we were to arrive. Despite this, AJ had his place looking just like the photos and had even bought us a bottle of wine and fruit to enjoy after our long road trip. Unfortunately, we had difficulties getting into Austin, and ended up staying in a hotel the first night. But AJ did stay up waiting for us until we called it quits around 11:30pm. 
We met with him the next day during his lunch break (I should mention it’s not a quick drive for him) and got the key. He gave us a quick tour and answered some basic questions we had about Austin. After that, our communication was purely by text message. He ended up staying with a friend the entire weekend, which gave us the place to ourselves. AJ was very gracious in offering us recommendations for restaurants and places to hang out.
Here are a few notes about the place. It really is a great place. He’s working on small improvements here and there, but nothing that had any impact on our comfort. The place is very clean, classy, and quiet. What’s not shown in the photos is the lovely little courtyard that leads to the apartment, which had a very low key Austin vibe. The kitchen was great, though we didn’t have much time to use it. The shower had great water pressure and the bed was comfortable. Overall, A++ AirBNB’r. A fantastic and very gracious host, Thank you AJ!

"
5007048,32142406,2015-05-14,32723652,Sean,AJ was a personable and welcoming host.  I really appreciated him taking a chance on an airbnb noob on short notice.  
5007048,32724863,2015-05-20,19539901,Austin,AJ was a courteous and inviting host. The room was clean and with plenty of space. His apartment is in a great location just minutes from the South Congress area and downtown. I would stay here again. 
5007048,33958244,2015-06-02,32865595,Sho-Boo Of Sho-Boo Suite,Aj was a great host and I had a relaxing time at his although I had a tight schedule myself.  I learned a lot from him as one of the Airbnb host as well.  Thanks Aj! 
5007048,38296724,2015-07-14,35608117,Nicolas,"Aj a été très prévenant. Passez faire un tour chez lui vous ne le regretterez pas ;-)  ;-)
Je recommande. "
5007048,42012860,2015-08-10,37027366,Jackson,"This was our first time using Airbnb and AJ was a superb host! My wife and I arrived pretty late in the evening because we drove 11 hrs to Austin and AJ had a couple friends at the place waiting for us to give us a key and quick tour. AJ is a relaxed, friendly guy and very good with communication. He definitely went the extra mile for us. You'll be glad you stayed with him!"
5007048,43567405,2015-08-20,41215144,Mat,"Great space for kicking back in a quiet South Austin neighborhood before finding your way to the Austin landmarks. Lots of access for rent-a-rides (Uber, Car2Go, etc.) and AJ is the most approachable host. You don't need to worry about minor inconveniences clouding your stay - everything is taken care of."
5007048,48907979,2015-09-29,21300439,Chloe,"My colleague stayed with AJ. I didn't hear any complaints and I believe he found the space comfortable and with a great location. Thank you for being open to this, AJ!"
4233225,28175687,2015-03-19,17846528,Tanja,"Zach's duplex is located in one of Austin's best neighborhoods - safe, quiet, but yet extremely close to downtown. It's also within walking distance to Fabi + Rosi - an incredible restaurant! Not only did Zach make his home my home, he also offered the usage of his bikes. Austin + bike = dream! I enjoyed my stay very much and will definitely return. "
3441274,49793685,2015-10-06,42516131,Ana Paula,"Great place! Clean, nice neighborhood and very close to Zilker Park.
Host is very nice and hospitable. We had a great stay. Strongly recommend it."
3441274,50614609,2015-10-13,16535167,Mercedes,We had a great time at ACL! The walk is a bit of a trek from the apt. but not unbearable. There are tons of hills on the walk. Baxter is a great host. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around. He even helped us with our luggage. Great host. 
4015358,28314388,2015-03-22,9490646,Thiago,"My stay at Joshua's place was perfect since the beginning. Joshua was always very fast and polite on his massages. It made me confident that he was a good host. 
The place was just like he described on the ad. It was organized and clean when we arrived. Don't let the proximity to I-35 fool you into thinking that the place is noisy. I woke up everyday to the sound of birds!
To go downtown is just a 10 minute cab drive or you can just walk 100 meters and catch a bus that goes every 15 minutes! Super easy.
For those looking for an affordable and cozy stay in Austin I truly recommend Joshua and his place."
5277439,35168488,2015-06-15,14369436,Stuart,"Great location, nice clean condo. Has everything you would need and more. The tablet seems to be monitoring noise level and I was shocked to have a security guard show up when I was hanging out at night while two people were sleeping in the condo. I don't believe we were being too loud but maybe the tablet had some sort of decibel meter running. To lock the unit you can't just press any key you have to type in the entire code so I would update the instructions to inform future guests. The parking spots aren't clearly marked as reserved so someone left a note on my car saying I was in there spot which was much better than being towed but it would be ideal if visitor parking and reserved parking was more clearly identifiable. All in all it was a nice unit and very well decorated. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the late check out!"
5277439,35588192,2015-06-20,15573225,Rebecca,"This apartment is tucked into a complex that is a little worn. It's a gated community and you'll definitely want to have a car.

The apartment is comfortable and the laundry in unit was a selling point for me. This place is within walking distance of S. Congress and a bunch of good eating. Close to a grocery store, CVS and gas station. "
3991496,26625784,2015-02-16,24017291,Matthew,"The house was beautiful. Great location, very close to downtown. Huge backyard. Check in/check out was easy. Would definitely stay again."
3991496,27638971,2015-03-09,24186566,Daniel,"House and property was much larger than I expected for a house in the city.  The house was clean, decorated nicely and functional for a group 7-8.  With the colder weather, I loved that we were able to light up a fire in the outdoor grill and relax around it.  Would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming from out of town."
73005,199601,2011-03-15,380142,Barnabas,Vivian was very nice and made our stay very pleasant! The townhome is spacious and neat! 
73005,205398,2011-03-21,413431,Andrew,Vivian's place was great and she was very accommodating.  It is an easy trip to downtown Austin and having this place made our SXSW extremely easy.  Thanks Vivian!
73005,998875,2012-03-14,1567083,Greg,"Vivian did a great job of making our group feel at home. The townhome is very clean, and truly spacious. Vivian filled the home with snacks, drinks, fresh sheets & towels, and even kept the bathrooms outfitted with soap and shampoo. We really felt at home during our time in Austin for SXSW this year. I would definitely recommend recommend renting from Vivian."
73005,1024080,2012-03-20,5223319,Jahmal,"Vivian was very patient and flexible with our stay. She welcomed us at our pick up location and was able to make us feel like we were at home.
Her house was very clean and spacious. We specifically appreciated the patio for grilling and the extra blow up mattresses.

The area was a quite area and just the perfect distance to drive for SXSW.
I would definitely do it all over again."
73005,1139814,2012-04-16,2084933,Quoc,Vivian was very easy to work with. Her place was in a perfect location to the Domain: Easy to get to and from Austin. Lots of space.

73005,2912210,2012-11-19,2920104,John,"Very clean and very spacious, we had a wonderful weekend here for the Formula One Grand Prix in November 2012.

We were 5 people (2 couples and one single) and we were all accommodated comfortably.

We didn't get to use the pool but it looked nice and was right next to the house. The gated community was quiet and very pleasant."
73005,4261731,2013-04-22,2386031,Navid,"Vivian was available and easy to get a hold of.  She has a really nice place and I would stay there again!
"
73005,10901926,2014-03-12,11306614,Bianca,"Very cute space! Vivian was very helpful and accommodating. It was a little far from the city when factoring in the SXSW traffic, but we had a great stay. "
73005,28321903,2015-03-22,25806718,Gavin,Vivian was great and so was her accommodations. It was quiet and away from the SXSW traffic. We had a great visit!
73005,36769951,2015-07-01,11311221,Stephanie,The host was very responsive and welcoming. The town house was just as expected-in clean and comfortable condition. There is plenty of  space and great natural lighting. The neighborhood is a gated community so we felt very safe staying here. Overall we definitely felt at home here and highly recommend it!
73005,49730798,2015-10-05,36966245,Philip,"Definitely one of the kindest people I've ever met. Extremely responsive, super flexible and willing to meet any expectations that I had! Place was incredibly well kept and immaculate when I showed up. My friends and I stayed for ACL weekend and had no problem with the distance. Will definitely consider this place again next time I visit!"
73005,50488047,2015-10-12,42795340,Alicia,"Vivian's place was quite spacious and gave us the elbow room we hoped for since we were traveling with teenagers. It was also super clean (visible vacuum tracks on all carpet) and absolutely clutter free.  If we had mustered the energy to cook, it would have been easily possible because the kitchen seemed well-stocked with equipment. The only thing we missed was a coffee pot, however there were several stores nearby to fill our caffeine needs (e.g., Whole Foods  1 mile away)."
2060698,10919001,2014-03-13,671072,Scott,This was a great house in a great neighborhood. The access code system was much better than keys too. Thanks Erica! See you again next year. 
2060698,11506860,2014-04-06,11528554,Cameron,"Great central location, nice tidy place! Would definitely stay there again!!"
2060698,11988085,2014-04-21,699206,Debby,"We had a girls weekend and decided to stay at Austin Soul.  This little cottage was absolutely perfect for 5 girls.  The house was warm, impeccably decorated and had all the amenities we would want.  Very comfortable and welcoming. 

You really can't beat the location. Whether you go on 1st Street or Congress, there are so many great eateries, shops to walk around.  We loved our stay and would absolutely stay here again if we are ever in town again.  

Also, we really loved the service we got from Erica - she always responded to quickly and made sure to check in when we arrived.  Loved her and the Turnkey team!"
2060698,12888752,2014-05-13,13383196,Janaina,We had a great stay in Austin. The house was charming and perfectly located. The neighborhood is terrific and made an easy walk to Elizabeth St. Cafe and Joe's. Loved it. Wish I were still there. Great owner and house! 
2060698,19594089,2014-09-15,1781208,John,"Everything we wanted.  Great house, clean and very user friendly.  Super close to all SoCo has to offer and we took them up on it.  Walked and ate at Guero's, South Congress Cafe, Home Slice, Hey Cupcake!, Snack Bar, Elizabeth Street Cafe.  Short walks or drive to check out the tunes at The Continental Club, Threadgills, Shady Grove, Emo's.

Actually I should tell you this place really sucked because we want to rent it again and again.  The basic formula being:  BBQ, Music, BBQ, Music....and repeat."
2060698,22823046,2014-11-16,9979503,Geoffrey,"Nice little house in a seriously great location.  Easy, easy walking distance to any number of great places to eat, shop and listen to music.  Nicely equipped kitchen (we only used the coffee maker and fridge).  There is no regular TV, only Chromecast.  W. Elizabeth is a pretty busy street so expect a bit of noise in one bedroom.  All in all a nice place for a nice price.  Especially if you are sharing with friends.  If I get back to Austin it's where I'll stay."
2060698,25237756,2015-01-10,8586764,Kelley,"Such a great house! Our family of 5 loved Austin Soul- plenty of room for us, 2 full baths, washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen, street parking, cute decor, and soft sheets. We only wish it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed the outdoor seating area! Plus, the house is just a couple of blocks away from some of the best food in the city. Definitely a keeper!"
2060698,26817667,2015-02-20,104472,Michelle,"This house was perfect.  It could not have been in a better location.  It was an adorable little house but plenty of room for comfort and relaxation.   I will definitely be back in Austin and would look to stay anywhere but here. 

It was run by a company that was available 24/7 (not that we needed anything, everything was all ready for us).  But it was nice to know they were there and they checked in by email to make sure everything was fine.  It was fantastic! "
2060698,28147374,2015-03-18,2812700,PJ & Steph,"I have nothing but excellent things to say about TurnKey Reservations. They are a professional operation with 24/7 assistance, a top-notch cleaning service, and all the amenities you'd expect at a hotel. I'm an Airbnb host myself and was blown away -- they really raise the bar! Do not hesitate to book with them!"
2060698,30514237,2015-04-23,2641371,Katie,"This place was perfect for our group of four! The location between S. Congress and S. 1st couldn't have been better; there were tons of great restaurants, bars, and shops within walking distance. The house is adorable, spotless, and well-maintained. When at home, we spent most of our time lounging outside in the adirondack chairs. We will definitely recommend the place to anyone visiting Austin!"
2060698,31299961,2015-05-04,1326611,Nathalie,"The house was great- it was clean, cute and had a little outdoor space for us to enjoy. The location was perfect and we loved how close  it was to S Congress. When we come back to Austin we would definitely rent this house again. "
2060698,31943980,2015-05-12,4197326,James,"We had a too-short stay in Austin in early May. There were 4 of us, and even though the house is small the 2 bedrooms / 2 full baths make it quite convenient for 4 adults. It also has pleasant outside seating which expands your sense of space. The location is excellent - a short stroll to South Congress where there is a little bit of everything and an easy walk to First Street (where you should not pass up the chance to dine at Elizabeth's). The keypad access made coming and going super-easy. Highly recommended!"
2060698,34697069,2015-06-11,29063205,Ann,Great home in the perfect location! The house had everything we needed and was so much better than staying in a hotel. Definitely recommend to anyone visiting central Austin!
2060698,51006418,2015-10-17,21129968,Nathan,"Our group loved our stay here! The location and house size were perfect for us. It was less than a block from Congress and Homeslice Pizza. Plenty of space in this house for 2 couples. My favorite aspects of this property were the style, affordability, location and back sitting area. Description was accurate and parking passes made it easy to pull right up to the house. I would definitely recommend to a friend and stay here again!"
2060698,52677228,2015-11-01,32216788,Tom,"The house was clean, welcoming and well equipped.  It was accessible to downtown and public transportation and it was a short walk to the Soco District.  It is perfect for two couples."
347736,973029,2012-03-05,1786393,Juan,Jason was an excellent host.He was ready to please us anytime.The place was faboluose.Excellent (email hidden)ose to everywhere at Downtown Austin.Very clean and comfortable!We do recommend Jason and his property withouth any hesitance.GOD Bless Him!!
347736,1043954,2012-03-26,1768348,Elizabeth,"What a wonderful experience for a first time airbnb user!  

Upon arrival Jason showed us around, also pointing out that he had some toiletry items in case we had forgotten anything (I did end up using some of his sunscreen and a toothbrush).  He had 2 sets of keys for us, told us we could help ourselves to the coffee, and gave us the remote control for the autogate in the parking area.  He was so incredibly friendly!

Now the most important part, the condo, it was fantastic!!!  Very contemporary with a huge flatscreen tv, great speaker system that we could plug our ipods/phones into for music, comfortable couches, and a great deck.  He had towels/washcloths set out for us as well.  The place was spotless and the beds very comfortable. 

We could not have asked for a better location.  If we weren’t in town for a wedding and needed to drive outside of town, there would have been no need for a rental car.  We walked absolutely everywhere in Austin… South Congress, Dirty 6, West 6, Campus.  Everything s really at your fingertips from this location.

If I ever go back to Austin I will for sure see if Jason’s place is free!  Thanks! :)"
347736,1086223,2012-04-05,1867028,Jen,"Everything was amazing!! This was my first airbnb experience and it lived up to my expectations and exceeded them. Jason was super nice and helpful; and was easy to get ahold when I had questions. The loft was gorgeous and in walking distance to everything. We only used my car twice, only because our destination was too far to walk. If I'm ever in Austin I will definitely go through Jason again. "
347736,1094634,2012-04-07,1740291,Hexter And Cassidy,"I want to leave a poor rating...just so no one rents and the space will be open for when I return to Austin! However, I could never do that to Jason. He was a great host. Although we never met in person, he was as helpful as can be via e-mail and over the phone. The day before my arrival, Jason sent an e-mail with all of the instructions and information. Coffee and water was offered to me while I stayed, as well as access to a DVD collection. In the bathroom(s), in case I forgot toiletry items, travel-sized  shampoo, conditioner, and shaving cream were waiting on top of a fresh supply of towels. The place was clean, beautiful looking and just plain awesome. Rent away -- except when I want to come back."
347736,1121055,2012-04-12,2061848,Jan,"Immaculate! Interesting architectural and decorative touches. Excellent, secure location with easy access to Interstate 35 and 6th street. Quick stroll to some great restaurants. Nice view of Austin skyline from livingroom windows and balcony."
347736,1129452,2012-04-14,2079479,Marty,"Wonderful experience in this downtown loft. The loft has a great view of dt, and let's in a good amount of light, so u don't feel closed in. The 2 bedrooms were clean comfy and cozy.There were Great special touches, like toothpaste, waters, and coffee. 

This place is close enough to walk down to 6th street for some night life.
We visited Pete's dueling piano bar, and had a blast. Your also close enough to the food trucks and restaurants. We visited uncorked, which is literally a hop, skip, and jump away from the loft. The food and atmosphere were fabulous. 

I will definetly be staying at this loft again. : )"
347736,1175494,2012-04-24,1861351,Bill,Beautiful view. Very clean. Fun decor. Comfy beds. Fully equipped kitchen. The best water pressure I've ever experienced. Convenient to downtown. Across the street from a great wine bar. We hated to leave.

347736,1410443,2012-06-04,2107070,Brian,"Had a great experience at the loft apartment- the apartment is beautiful, has great bedrooms and common area. Loved the coffeemaker and the location. We walked to just about everything in central Austin including great bars just around the corner.  Jason made check-in and check-out super easy."
347736,1548895,2012-06-24,1035271,Edina,"Blown away by everything about this place. The location was great, it was super clean and it had about everything you needed for the kitchen/bath. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in downtown Austin. From my family and myself....Thanks Jason!!"
347736,1579573,2012-06-28,2006184,Donna,"Great stay! The instructions for arrival were easy to follow. The place is spacious, easy to be 2 couples. Lots of appreciated perks--bottled water in the fridge, toiletries in case we forgot. Parking very handy since we could walk to many locations and still feel ok about leaving the car. Modern, clean. Would go back."
347736,1633723,2012-07-05,1902840,Bree,Place was lovely and very accessible to downtown. Very nice with modern appliances. Jason was helpful and responsive. Thanks for an awesome stay! 
347736,1671537,2012-07-09,2819890,Tamer,"Great place, great host. Easy access, centrally located, clean and fresh on the inside - would not stay anywhere else. Thanks Jason!"

347736,1718810,2012-07-16,2454656,Ashley,"Fantastic place, great location near all the East 6th attractions, and wonderful host.  Jason made everything extremely easy and was great to deal with.  Would definitely stay again."
347736,1745569,2012-07-19,987823,Amelia,"Jason's place is absolutely fabulous. It is exactly as it appears in the pictures, so wonderfully decorated, and super clean. The location is perfect, it's right in the middle of 6th St, with great bars, restaurants and live music either side. Despite being near the highway, it is still pretty  quiet. Jason was readily available and responsive at all times, and goes out of his way to provide special touches, like leaving toiletries and even a toothbrush! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone venturing to Austin (which, may I add, is a brilliant city in itself!!). Thanks Jason, I'll be back! "
347736,1793106,2012-07-24,1843545,Lanie,The place was great! We will be staying here again! 
347736,1812582,2012-07-27,2712409,Katie,"Staying in this apartment is like being inside a beautiful snowglobe placed in the center of Austin with views of downtown and the surrounding area. It's also comfortable, with every amenity you can imagine. The apartments gets a little too bright in the late afternoon/early evening, so we draped a scarf over the window. Overall, it was delightful. "
347736,1861439,2012-08-01,2032909,Don,"Jason was a great host.  Every thing was clean and ready for us.  He offered some water bottles and coffee for us to use. He is extremely thorough in his information every base is covered.  Couldn't ask for a better experience. 

 Jason we will be back, expect to  hear from us soon!"
347736,2025104,2012-08-18,1352529,Eddie,"The perfect place to stay if you are going to check out the local hangouts! Walking distance to 6th street. The warehouse district is a quick cab/pedi cab away. South Congress, barton springs, Town Lake running trails and paddle boards are so close, and of course there are awesome restaurants around every corner. Jason's place rocks! Immaculate with a beautiful view of the Austin skyline. Very cool furnishings and artwork. We will be staying here again in the future!"
347736,2189761,2012-09-04,1857615,Michael,"Jason was responsive and extremely accommodating. His place was better than advertised and better than any hotel we could have stayed at. Its location, just blocks from 6th and a 10 minute walk to Rainey Street was so convenient, we were able to walk most places when we couldn't cab it. If you're thinking about staying anywhere else in Austin, don't. You're going to want to stay here. I'd recommend this to anyone!"
347736,2388305,2012-09-24,2199285,Brian,"Jason was a great host giving us plenty of advice on where to go and the place was amazing. Perfectly in the center of 6th street with plenty of food trucks and bars nearby. Jason even left us mini toiletries in each bathroom and stocked the frig with waters. My buddies and I were in Austin to celebrate a bachelor party and all of us couldn't have been happier with the choice we made to stay at Jason's loft. If I am ever back in Austin, this is surely the place I will book! Thanks."
347736,2535990,2012-10-08,2933463,Mike,"Jason was a great host - timely on communication, great instructions on getting in and helping with a great weekend for us.  The place was very clean, fresh and as advertised.  Our small group loved the location, the views, the ease of getting in and out and the overall experience was very good.  We will book again if we head back to Austin!"
347736,2588739,2012-10-12,3349216,Torsten,"We stayed at Jason´s place for 3 days during an business trip in Austin. It could not be any better. This place is just awesome, very comfortable, clean and way better than staying at a hotel. Just a few blocks away you will find many restaurants and great bars on 6th street and the convention centre is also very near. I can highly recommend Jason´s place and definitely would love to come back, when I´m Austin. "
347736,2627536,2012-10-16,2446675,Lindsey,"Stayed here for 5 days/4 nights with some friends for the ACL festival and the apt was AWESOME.  Beautifully decorated, great amenities and perfect location.  Apartment was spotless and just a wonderful place to call home while staying in Austin.  Can't say enough good things about it!
"
347736,2719432,2012-10-25,1872407,Wendy,Jason's loft was amazing. Great location and extremely clean. Jason left precise directions for easy entry and was glad to answer any questions. The little extras like travel toiletries and Keurig were provided and very much appreciated. Will definitely use again! 
347736,2816888,2012-11-05,103360,Laura,"Jason's place is great! Huge, light, airy, great decor, comfy, good location. And Jason is super helpful and easy to deal with. "
347736,2962876,2012-11-26,2647633,David,"Jason's loft was the perfect place to stay because of the clean and spacious layout, great location and excellent views of the downtown skyline.  Jason was a very gracious host and we definitely plan on staying here anytime we are in Austin!"
347736,3082631,2012-12-13,4190859,Jane,"Jason was very communicative. Getting to his place was a piece of cake with his detailed instructions. He even emailed us to make sure that we got there safely our first night. His place is great:clean, spacious, and comfortable. And it gets bonus points for being only 0.3m from Franklin BBQ. "
347736,3372320,2013-01-19,2535400,Cj,"Jason's loft is perfect. Very clean, bright and within walking distance to all the best east side spots. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Austin."
347736,3394924,2013-01-22,1323034,Kate,A couple of my girlfriends and I spent the weekend in this condo and it was perfect!  The condo is very clean and in a great location to walk to 6th Street bars / restaurants.  Jason was very responsive and helpful.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone!
347736,3432446,2013-01-28,672656,Brad,"Best place to stay in Austin! Jason's listing is a super comfortable,safe, and swanky place and walking distance to 6th St.! Jason gave us a great document on how to get to his place, as well as fun things to do around town. I couldn't recommend his place more if you're looking to stay in Austin. "
347736,3496394,2013-02-08,3608730,Emma And Mike,"Emma and I can’t recommend our Austin accommodation enough. Jason is a fantastic host. He’s helpful, responsive and organised. Everything from initial contact to checking in and out went really, really smoothly. And his apartment is amazing. If you like what you see in the photos, you’ll love what you’ll find when you check in. It’s beautifully furnished and immaculately looked after – it feels more like a five-star hotel than somebody’s house. Location is great too. It’s really close to Rainey Street which has some amazing bars (look it up). It’s also really close to 6th Street if that’s more your style. 

Emma and I only have one regret – we should have stayed longer. Austin is an amazing city and we really didn’t do it justice in the three days we were there. Jason – you may just see us again someday. 
"
347736,3579452,2013-02-19,2771443,Jenn,"Jason's loft was beautiful, clean and had GORGEOUS views of the Austin  skyline. The location was perfect for a night on 6th, a quick jog to the lake and was easily accessible from the highway. Jason's place also has all the convenience of a high-end hotel as he leaves little bottles of shampoo and conditions for guests as well as bottled water in the fridge and other amenities. We felt so at home here. I HIGHLY recommend booking a stay the next time you are in Austin!"
347736,3687071,2013-03-04,4963317,Amy,"I can't say enough good about Jason, his lovely loft and the city of Austin!  We didn't end up renting a car, but because the loft is located on the edge of downtown, we were able to walk most anywhere.  When we did want to get out a bit further we just hopped a bus right below our unit on the corner.  How's that for convenience!  The bus system in Austin is great ($2.00 / 24 hour ticket) and the limited stop bus from the Convention Center out to the airport worked great on our way out of town as well. By using the Google Map app for bus info made getting around super easy!   
Jason's is a top-notch host with top-notch accommodations who promptly answers any questions you may have about his place.  No need to hesitate here!  "
347736,3862506,2013-03-22,5152916,Melissa,"From start to finish our stay was perfect! Jason sent great instructions on how to get to his place and get in.  His home is clean, modern, and comfortable and is perfectly located close to everything. The view is amazing, the bedrooms and bathrooms are large and comfy. The TV set up was great for movie watching. It was really the perfect place for our stay. We had a great time. It was my husband , my brother, his wife and I.  We are all busy parents who wanted to get away and relax and we couldn't have picked a better place!  Thank you Jason!"
347736,3886323,2013-03-25,4636131,Margarita,"Jason was a fantastic host that made our first time visiting Austin such a breeze.  His loft is beautiful and is walking distance to the attractions on 6th street.  It's also half a block away from some very tasty food trucks! I've already recommended his place to my friends, and I would love to stay here again."
347736,4515482,2013-05-10,567253,Dave Willis,"My recent stay at Jason's place in Austin was nothing short of AMAZING!!  What a class act from start to finish.  The directions, access, and communication was great and effortless.  The condo is perfect!  2 great bedrooms, 2 amazing bathrooms, views of down town from every window, kick ass stereo and kitchen.  The place is located within walking distance of just about everything you need - from great restaurants to the crazy bars on 6th east.  There is a great wine store just up the street - funky food trailers all around, public transit at the door if you need it.  Jason provides some great personal touches to your stay like coffee and water waiting for you, shampoo and conditioner and soap for you.... I would recommend the place to anyone!  I will so be booking when I need to head back to Austin! "
347736,4576312,2013-05-13,5992759,Matt,"Awesome property, great view, classy appointed, great location with easy access to airport & walking distance to downtown.   Really enjoyed staying here and the owner Jason was great to deal with.  Top notch all the way.  Highly recommended if you get the chance to stay here while in Austin.  I know I'll be checking availability here first next time I visit Austin.  "
347736,4633839,2013-05-17,4374763,Christopher,"All of the positive reviews regarding Jason's place are spot-on! This place is ideal for visitors who wish to ""experience"" Austin in a non-traditional tourist-y way. It's truly in the heart of the East Downtown bar/restaurant scene (walking distance to Eastside Kings - a must!). At the end of our days of venturing throughout the City, this place felt like we were going ""home"" and looked forward to being there. His place is spacious, very well-kept, clean, modern, creatively inspired, and felt like a five-star accommodation. We were grateful to have the opportunity to stay there and look forward to booking it in the future."
347736,4726519,2013-05-22,4541231,Josh,"Jason is a fantastic host, with a loft just as good.
Before arriving he gave us a sheet full of stuff to do and directions to his place.The checkin process was super easy and straightforward.
His Loft is very close to the midtown action in austin, a very easy walk to restaurants and clubs.
We stayed for the V8's at the C.O.T.A. and it was super easy to get to from here, about a 20min drive.
Thanks for a great stay Jason and highly recommended!!!"
347736,4802425,2013-05-27,2257170,Theresa,"Jason's loft was a great place to stay.  Loved the decor as it fit in very well with my own design esthetic. Very centrally located, great views of downtown.  Gave lots of info about town ahead of time.  Would definitely stay there again if traveling to Austin. Thanks."
347736,4896243,2013-05-31,6585580,Parker,"You would be hard-pressed to find a more incredible spot, with this much room and amenities.  A few minute walk has you in the heart of sixth street restaurants and night life.  Jason was a great host, he immediately responded to any communication and I would definitely stay again!"
347736,4962527,2013-06-04,285210,Brandon,Jasons place might be the most beautiful place I've stayed in. The pictures don't do justice for just how large the loft is. The view from the living room of the Austin skyline is quite a sight to see itself. Everything was perfect and Jason was extremely accommodating to our needs. Hands down best place to stay in Austin. 
347736,5100934,2013-06-12,6095573,Tyler,"The apartment was beautiful, and looked exactly as it did in the pictures. Walkable to tons of bars, restaurants, etc, there was never a shortage of things to do. Also, the balcony was great at night!

Will be recommending :)"
347736,5141945,2013-06-15,548534,Meredith,"Jason's loft is incredible! The space is immaculate. Seriously, I have never been in a cleaner or tidier apartment. And the location is prime-- minutes from a lot of hot spots on 6th street. Fresh water and Keurig-brewed coffee were at our disposal, as well as cable tv and some seriously great water pressure. 
Plus, a few days before our arrival, Jason sent us a guest letter that had everything we needed to know and more in it: info on getting into his apartment, where to park, and tips on what to see and eat in the city. Jason's place will be first on my list should I ever make it back to Austin. "
347736,5334113,2013-06-24,2292228,Joseph,"This place rocks. Totally clean, totally sleek, the perfect bachelor pad. (Note: I don't know what the perfect bachelorette pad looks like, but I imagine women would also enjoy this apartment.) 

The location is perfect: striking distance to the crazy part of 6th street, but right in the cool, more relaxed part of the sixth street. Also, Jason is some sort of motocross champion and has decorated the apt with his trophies, so it's fun to imagine that YOU are a motocross champion while staying there. Vrooommm!

If it's in your price range, you won't be disappointed by this apartment."
347736,5377479,2013-06-27,2554842,Gabe,I've been here a few times this is an amazing place amazing location and amazing host everyone would love to stay here
347736,5460897,2013-07-01,57995,Tonya,"Staying at Jason's was definitely one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had. The place was beautiful, even larger than the pictures indicate, and very, very clean. Jason was also kind enough to leave coffee, plenty of water, and great bathroom amenities. The balcony was the perfect place to unwind at the end of the day, and the location is great -- not only because of all of the cool places you can easily just walk to, but also as a starting point to getting almost anywhere in the city. Additionally, Jason was very communicative and friendly from the start, provided excellent information and instructions before we arrived, and really went out of his way to help us out. I also appreciated that Jason has a ""grown-up"" kitchen, with all that you need to prepare great meals if you choose. I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend Jason's place to other Airbnb users."
347736,5518993,2013-07-03,7131241,Judy,"Awesome!  Everything is as pictured, just gorgeous and very comfortable stay.  Will definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended."
347736,5810982,2013-07-17,3320390,Youna,"Jason's place is great!!!! The best view in town. It was Very clean, temp. was great during the summer,plenty of extra towels. soaps,
shampoo and more.
He really takes care of the small details! The condo is walking distance from ""the hussle and bussle"" of downtown Austin! The condo is 2 blocks from "" FRANKLIN BBQ""
We had a late flight back to Los Angeles, and Jason made arrangements that we could stay longer then Check out time"
347736,5885410,2013-07-21,6124438,Carol,"Great apartment. It was just as the pictures showed and described. We were very comfortable and we wanted for nothing. It was a great place for us to relax, particularly for the nights we stayed in.
Jason was a great host - providing thorough details to get to the place, instructions re equipment, even providing water & beer (great touch). 
Thanks for the suggested activities - Alamo Drafthouse Cinema was a highlight!
We highly recommend this apartment to other air bnb users."
347736,6106825,2013-07-30,6838697,Kathryn,"Jason's place is amazing!  The pictures definitely do not do it justice.  The entire apartment is amazing laid out incredibly well and the balcony has a wonderful view of the Austin sunset.  He was an incredible host and had all the amenities a person could ask for!

We barely had to drive anywhere since there's so much to do within walking distance and when we did, his location was so central to everything that we never had to drive very far.

I had a great time staying there and I highly recommend it!"
347736,6510925,2013-08-15,2811682,Dave,"Great two bedroom apt close to everything. I had a conference at the Austin Convention Center/Hilton, and it was only a five minute walk door-to-door. I had a car, and Jason let me use one of the parking spots in the gated lot. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking all types of meals. Jason had a nice Keurig with a great selection of coffee to get going in the morning. Easy to communicate with via email and text messages. Would stay again. Make sure to go swimming in Barton Springs Pool in the morning and bring a mask and snorkel. There are some big bass down in the deep section!"
347736,6855678,2013-08-27,2812522,Irina,"The place was conveniently located, spacious and clean. We had a great experience staying in Jason's loft. Will recommend others too."

As a former Austin-ite, I loved the location, too.  It's very close to everything to see and do in the city--you can even walk to a lot of places downtown.  Overall, I highly recommend Jason and his apartment."
347736,7283319,2013-09-14,5078790,Kate,A great apartment in a great location with a great host. Jason made this experience really easy and his apartment was wonderful! Would highly recommend it
347736,7326738,2013-09-16,4131627,William,Jason's apartment exceeded all expectations. The location and layout are ideal for any traveler.  Walking distance to every downtown location. I will always search availability for this apartment before heading to Austin. 
347736,7413126,2013-09-19,7096239,Justin,"Jason's place is IDEAL for anyone wanting to visit Austin in truest unique style. Everything from the decor to condos central location was above and beyond any expectation. It was also no small pleasure dealing directly with the owner Jason. His customer service and attention to detail were incredible!!!! We can't wait to come back!!!! Thanks Airbnb, thanks Jason and thank you Austin!"
347736,7654202,2013-09-28,4926012,Richie,"Jason's place is amazing. Huge loft style space with massive open kitchen/lounge. Both rooms were very spacious and really nicely finished. It reminded me of something from a boutique hotel. The balcony was great with a liquor store only feet away!

Perfectly located on dirty east. About 10 minutes stroll straight down the road.

Jason was great to deal with. Easy instructions on how to access the apartment and some great recommendations for restaurants and bars.

Highly recommend. If I'm ever in Austin again I would definitely stay in Jason's"
347736,7736719,2013-10-01,781623,Jen & Naz,"We chose Jason's awesome, modern loft as it was close to everything great that Austin has to offer. Food, cafes, downtown and South Congress and all within easy walking distance. 

The space itself is well-appointed with great art, details and lots of room for two people. It'd be great for two couples as well. 

Lots of nice details — shampoo/conditioner/soap, towels laid out, Keurig coffee maker, impressive TV system, and just overall, that boutique-style, modern and hip style that beats all of the hotels in the area. "
347736,7913217,2013-10-08,6891875,Jerry,"Jason's place was awesome.  Great spot for vacation in Austin.  In addition, Jason was prompt in answering our questions and facilitating the entire process.  I would definitely stay there again on another visit."

Street and surrounding areas. Class A in all respects!"
347736,8168171,2013-10-19,8330454,Keane,"Simply great! Everything was set up perfectly, the location in relation to everything in Austin was absolutely convenient! I do enjoy the fact that our host, Jason, does a great job of sending over information that you might need during your stay. He also gives you a few recommendations to check out in the area, if you are at a loss on what to do in the downtown Austin area. And the fact that he also includes water bottles, little bottles of toiletries, and an abundance of towels to use is definitely top notch! Loving the selection of K-cups coffee in the morning is always a plus. The pictures say it all and more. If you're staying in the downtown Austin area to see the sights and sounds, this place is the perfect place to feel like you're home away from home. I'm definitely coming back to this apartment, whenever I am coming back to Austin."
347736,8224966,2013-10-21,9079653,Ashley,"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay & explore Austin. It's not only a great, comfortable space but convenient to 6th st, Congress & Downtown.  Great Experience from arrival to departure!!!  "
347736,8282418,2013-10-23,2733578,Jeremy,Cool mod apartment. Stayed with another colleague for a business trip. Great location - walk dowtown / run on town lake trails. Easy parkng situation.
347736,8448960,2013-10-31,9307501,Cian,"We spent two nights at Jason's apartment in late October. The apartment itself is exactly what it looks like in the photographs. The apartment was extremely clean and Jason left bottles of water and coffee for us to use which was a nice touch. The apartment is beautiful, well air conditioned and it is a five minute walk from the bars at 6th street. We found it very convenient especially given that Jason had secured parking spaces for us to use inside the premises. Jason's instructions and mini-travel tips for Austin were easy to read and were very useful. Jason was also contactable at any time. I will definitely try to stay here when I come back to Austin! Thanks Jason."
347736,8957299,2013-11-28,9471589,William,This place is exactly what my wife and I were looking for. We were able to walk to sixth street or hop in the car and go exploring without any hassles. To us it just doesn't get any better...an awesome place ant an awesome host. We will be back!
347736,9141253,2013-12-09,10114544,Ravi,"Great place, great location, had all the things we needed. Would definitely stay here again. "
347736,9216461,2013-12-14,8816375,Darren,"Jason is a pro.  Not one detail left out, very clear, very cool person.

The place was great, exactly as advertised.  Very urban feel, near some cool things (taco trucks and brew and brew are by far the best 2 things).  2 bedroom worked fine for my business partner and me.

Gated condo development near downtown.  Would strongly recommend."
347736,9295732,2013-12-19,10001098,Ankur,"Both this property and its owner, Jason, were amazing! The condo was beautifully furnished, perfectly clean, and stocked with everything we needed from a Keurig coffee maker to hair conditioner! Additionally it had an AMAZING VIEW of downtown!!! Jason was available by call or text for any problems that we could have encountered. Jason also accommodated several personal requests. My fiancé and I had just gotten engaged, and Jason provided a bottle of champagne. He also personally reviewed a list of things to do in Austin that we sent him ahead of time and provided suggestions. He even let us use his personal printer when we needed to print off something unexpectedly. Finally, we accidentally left our coats in the condo. We contacted Jason right away and he happily agreed to mail us our coats! This was an amazing place to stay close to downtown. We would definitely stay there again!"
347736,9359819,2013-12-23,10713406,Ramiro,Jason was very helpful. His home was beyond beautiful. Definitely go back as soon as possible. 
347736,9410327,2013-12-27,10334242,Deborah,"Jason's place was SPECTACULAR!!!!  It is within walking distance of downtown fun.  Our son was on military leave for the holidays and we were able to celebrate a family Christmas that reminded him of home.  Jason has a full kitchen.  We were able to cook our traditional Christmas meal, communicate with family over the internet, and watch National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation as we do every year.  The loft is as great as the pictures.  Jason was a GREAT, very responsive host and he made everthing so simple for us.  I definitely recommend this loft.  The kids loved it, my husband and I loved it, and we had a great time.  If I could give it more than five stars, I would.  

Thanks, Jason!  "

Jason was a gracious host, the water and coffee he provided became a lifeline! 

Beds, towels, amenities were all first class. I can highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a great value in ATX. 

Thanks again Jason!"
347736,11179768,2014-03-24,12217704,Jamie,This was an amazing space and location for such an awesome price! Such a great alternative to staying at an overpriced hotel. Jason was completely reliable and responsive. Would stay here again!

Walkable to the downtown core as well as to numerous trailer food parks in the area, I was happy with the location overall, even though upon arrival, the neighbourhood looked a little sketchy.  I felt very safe once we settled in.  Jason was a truly great host -- great communicator, easy to work with, paid attention to detail.  This was one of my best airbnb experiences yet.  Thank you!"
347736,12331615,2014-04-29,12210060,Kevin,Great apartment made for a great stay in Austin. Thanks Jason!

347736,12998131,2014-05-17,8160048,Brian,Stayed at the modern condo in downtown Austin walkable to everything - perfect getaway for a week - the host was very communicative 
347736,13176541,2014-05-21,1797151,Rob,"Despite my best intentions, I rarely review restaurants or accommodations, despite frequent traveling. However, I had to make sure that anyone that is visiting Austin to experience the city knew to stay at Jason's condo.

The booking process was very smooth, and Jason provided very clear directions on how to check into the condo. The location is absolutely perfect for those who want to experience the real Austin - you are able to quickly be in East Austin, as well as the famous 6th street area. Other great areas like Rainey Street are without an easy walk. U of Texas is an easy drive, and the condo is located right next to I-35 if you need to travel further. The condo has a gated parking lot, which is very convenient. 

Inside, the condo is very clean and tastefully decorated to match the modern style of the building. It also features a great view of downtown Austin. The two bedroom / two bath setup is perfect for multiple parties traveling together.

347736,13271709,2014-05-24,13162578,Connie,Jason's home is top notch!   Large urban home with a balcony that overlooks the ebb and flow of 6th street.  Just an easy walk to all the different clubs and if one didn't partake in the trip on 6th sitting on the balcony people watching was at it's best!   The condo is very luxurious and comfortable.  There's a food truck nearby that makes decent breakfast burritos.   Check in and out was extremely easy.  I will recommend Jason's place to family and friends!   Top notch excellent host and home! 
347736,13541091,2014-05-30,14697069,Kian,The apartment was great and as listed. Everything was very easy and the accommodations were perfect.
347736,13653152,2014-06-02,6295054,Jeffrey,"Excellent!

- Great decor & amenities. Top notch. Looks exactly like the pictures.
- Great views of the Austin skyline
- Nice balcony for drunk-people-watching
- Easy check-in & check-out (no need to wait for someone to check you in & out)
- Great location (in the middle of 6th st). Everything is pretty much walking distance. There's a gas station & Wendy's next to the place if you need something"
347736,13846315,2014-06-06,13976944,Andrew,"This was my first time using airbnb and it was a really great experience. Jason checked in with me the day of to ask if we needed anything and also on the day that we were checking out. Really nice, relaxing, modern loft. I will be back if I ever find my way back to Austin. "
347736,14270394,2014-06-16,7402539,Bryan,"Jason's was good as advertised, great place in a great location. I would highly recommend Jason's place to anyone visiting Austin."
347736,14450186,2014-06-19,16571465,Princeton,"Oh wow. Where to start. 
First off, the pictures fully represent how awesome this place is. It's obvious the pride that Jason takes in his home. Which, is the reason I believe  he his place is so nice and comfy. I believe this to be an excellent value considering the location. Which brings me to my next point, holy crap the location! It is right on the middle of the famous 6th street. It is a short walk to so many wonderful bars, restaurants, and food trucks. It is also, a less than 10$ cab ride to most of he rest of Austin. 

This was my first trip to Austin and Jason's place helped make it perfect. The only downside of the trip is that I had to leave.   "
347736,14549024,2014-06-22,6415223,Eric,"Jason's place was fantastic!  Best possible location for 6th Street bars & restaurants and easy walking distance to the Convention Center. Ideal! 

Furthermore, Jason's communication leading up to and during our stay was excellent.  Getting keys and access to the condo was very easy.  And the place was in impeccable order when we arrived...just like in the photos!

I would highly recommend Jason's condo and will definitely plan on staying here again. Thanks Jason!

It was in a great location -- within walking or short cab distance from all the downtown neighborhoods. Included with the apartment were all the essentials, linens, wifi, parking spot, sound system, etc.  Would highly recommend renting Jason's apartment. We had a blast!"
347736,20094842,2014-09-23,12120464,Julian,Jason was awesome. Whole communication was great and we had a wonderful time in the really nice and modern loft. Just a few footsteps away from everything you need.
347736,20690399,2014-10-04,4525427,Marc,"Super lækkert sted i Austin. Jasons' lejlighed ligger super centralt, og har en flot udsigt til Austins skyline. Som vært var Jason fantastisk, og han har lavet en super god guide til Austin. Lejligheden var helt som den ser ud på billederne, i super fin stand - og fremstår generelt moderne."
347736,21199427,2014-10-13,17387155,David,Jason did a good job of making sure we had everything we needed for our stay at his place. The condo was great just as described. Location was perfect. Walking distance to plenty and convenient to everything

347736,21751769,2014-10-23,18726393,Dan,"The apartment was clean and in a very handy location right on 6th Street. Well within walking distance of great food and places to have a few drinks, and also very close to congress. Great communication from Jason which was easy to follow so check in and out was a breeze. Also the ability to have offstreet parking was great, although we didn't use it as we relied on walking and public transport. Would definately stay again and would recommend to friends."
347736,21866223,2014-10-26,11709587,Kimberly,"Great stay!  Jason sent us an email a few days in advance complete with a detailed process of how to check in and recommended to-do's in the area.  The check-in was seamless (a total breeze!).  His place is exactly as pictured (very spacious!) and overlooks the beautiful Austin skyline.  The location is ideal - easy access to 6th Street, RAINEY Street, the highway, and downtown.  Plus, it's only 15 minutes from the airport!  Highly recommend a stay here if you are looking for a fun week/weekend in Austin."
347736,22028422,2014-10-28,1681691,Molly,"Jason's apartment was just perfect! We had two couples staying there, a lot of room, very clean and loved the ""coffee bar"" he has set up for guests.

347736,22151124,2014-10-31,11159400,James,"We had a wonderful stay at Jason's downtown loft.  The pictures are an accurate representation of the space, however, they don't do the location justice.  A great view of the Austin skyline from the windows inside as well as the outside balcony.  The condo is situated such that you walk out the door and you're just steps away from all the activity of 6th Street.  We never met Jason, but he provided all of the details needed for an easy check-in/check-out and a comfortable stay.  I would have absolutely no reservations about staying here again and will actually look forward to it."
347736,22312666,2014-11-03,15839510,Timothy,"Jason was an exceptional host for us during a packed formula one weekend in Austin. He was very helpful in recommendations, and left us with a detailed description of how to access the unit, parking, keys and everything else needed. 
An AAA+++ experience. 
Would recommend to anyone looking to explore the downtown Austin area. 
The condo was in a great location, we walked to the 6th at nightlife. 
Condo was neat, clean and ready for guests. 

Jason was very understanding despite a mistake on my part about departure time. We stayed an extra 2 hours and he was very understanding. 
Thanks again!!"

347736,26766549,2015-02-18,2533185,Rudy,Terrific space.  Just across I-35 from Downtown.  Very good instructions and easy to get in and out of.  It was a two bedroom so it was way more space than I needed so I will probably invite a friend to share the space during the next conference.  Loved the coffee machine!!   
347736,28560388,2015-03-26,24427418,Sue,"Jason gave great instructions for everything along with driving directions and some recommendations of things to do around Austin, all very helpful.

The host was very clear with instructions and answering questions that I had...highly, highly, highly recommend this place."
347736,30494513,2015-04-23,5844916,Angela,"Where do we begin??  Jason is a wonderful host and was terrific to deal with (even dealing with my many, many questions).

This loft is very easy to find and in a great location!  Plus, it was nicer then we had expected.  Love the dining table with attached stools!  The Kuerig Coffee maker complete with different flavors of coffee was so welcome. It was also wonderful to have the air conditioning already on when we arrived in 98 degree weather.

You can read all the other reviews to understand how great the place is, and how excellent Jason's hospitality is, so I won't elaborate further on what's already been said. I will say that the location is perfect! I could walk to tons of restaurants and bars, and even an great donation yoga studio. We had several movie nights and dinners in because the view is better than at any restaurant in town. This is a great condo to just relax in. Oh, and the photos show a small two-person dining table, but now Jason has added a great four-person set. I am really picky about beds and bathrooms and loved Jason's place! "
347736,37142619,2015-07-05,26073190,Cody,Awesome apartment.  Really modern 2br apartment right in the heart of Austin.  Walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants.  Jason was a great host and provided us with a ton of information in advance of our stay.  I would 100% rent from Jason again if I were visiting Austin. 
347736,38690406,2015-07-18,9953175,Chieko,"Jasonの家はオースティンで休暇を楽しむのに完璧な場所にあります。美味しいブレックファストタコス（Pueblo Viejo）も、オースティン一のBBQフードトラック la Barbecue も、Easy Tiger も徒歩5分程度、美味しいレストラン群で有名なオースティンでも人気のレストランが徒歩圏内にたくさんあり、食べるのに困ることはありません。
いいパブやクラブも同様に徒歩圏内、夜遅くまで飲んだり、ライブを楽しんでから歩いて帰るのも全く問題ない場所で、夜遊びにもぴったりな場所です。しかも、そういった通りから大通りを1本挟んでいるおかげで、睡眠中にそういった街の喧騒に夜悩まされることもありません。
歩くにはちょっと遠いかな、という場所へ行きたい場合は、部屋を出てすぐ角にバス停があります。（レンタル自転車もオススメです）
ダブルベットがそれぞれにしつらえられた2部屋のベッドルームは、片方にはバスタブ付きのバスルーム、もう片方はリビングにあるシャワー付き（洗濯機つき）のバスルームがあるので、ルームメイトとの間にもそれぞれのプライバシーが保証されて、気楽な生活ができるのも最高でした。
写真の通りのホコリひとつない、アーティスティックな部屋のリビングでも特筆すべきはソファで、このソファのたったひとつの問題は、一度座ってしまうと、なかなか立ち上がりたくなくなることでした。
Jasonは素晴らしいホストで、滞在前に、近所のオススメの場所や、ちょっとしたアドバイス付きの気の利いたメールをくれます。やや長い英語の文章を読むことになりますが、素晴らしく簡便にまとまった案内で、滞在中の参考になること間違いなしなので、必ず一読することをオススメします。
Jasonはとても気前がよく、気持ちの良いホストで、部屋には事前に必要とするものの全てが揃っていて、何か困ったことがあればいつでもairbnbのアプリや、電話経由で相談に乗ってくれます。
オースティンには多くの有名ホテルがあるようですが、そんな没個性なホテルに泊まるよりもずっと便利で、サービスが行き届いていて、個性的で素敵な（それでいて自分の家のように居心地の良い）部屋で過ごすことができてとても満足です。
Jasonの家への滞在は、初めてのオースティン滞在での大当たりの選択のひとつでした。またオースティンに行くことがあったら、絶対にまたJasonの家に泊めてもらいたいと思います！

Thank you, Jason, for all your kindness, generously and hospitality! I'll definitely stay your place when I could go back to Austin again! 
YOU (and YOUR PLACE) are THE BEST HOST EVER!!"
347736,39376576,2015-07-23,30433443,Cherie,Great apartment in great location. Easy to explore Austin on foot from here. Jason made check-in and check-out very simple. Will definitely return. 
347736,39732479,2015-07-26,28914206,Whitney,Jason was very helpful when I had questions leading up to our stay. He was very prompt in response and was very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend working with him and staying at this location.
347736,40318149,2015-07-30,8557853,Lance," Outstanding!  Location, welcome instructions, description of property, communications for smooth arrival.  Everything about Jason's property exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend. "
347736,40728944,2015-08-02,32219316,Megan,"Jason gave us all the information we needed ahead of time and we had no problems at all during our stay. The condo was clean and in a safe location - it was perfect for our trip. Also, the location couldn't have been better for our stay in Austin - it's right at the edge of the strip of restaurants and bars on 6th street, but if you go the other direction on 6th you will find awesome restaurants and bars that locals visit. I would highly recommend staying at Jason's!"
347736,43228688,2015-08-18,34185514,Caitlin,"We received our email with instructions for our stay about a week in advance. Jason was awesome and provided very explicit instructions for checking in/out, and an added bonus was that he provided some cool sightseeing and dining suggestions.  The apartment was immaculate. It also had an awesome view of the skyline. It was a perfect location for our stay, as it was just a few blocks to the 6th street bars, two blocks to a rental bike location, and had a cool food truck park nearby. Our stay at this apartment was awesome and we wouldn't have changed a thing. Thanks Jason!"
347736,43611256,2015-08-21,32163657,Meghan,"Loved this spot on east side of Austin! Right off 6th Street & Brushy, it was close enough to walk anywhere downtown. A great view of the skyline, the chill balcony area and the open, simple & sleek loft made our trip much more comfortable. We will definitely be using Jason's loft again in the future if at all possible! Everything was very clean and the decor was amazing! Absolutely no complaints here."
347736,43913207,2015-08-23,605870,Steve,"The place was great.  It was actually larger than expected.  Jason has decorated this condo well, and he keeps it clean and in very good condition.  The location is good as it was a quick walk to all of the restaurants and clubs on 6th street and in downtown."
347736,44410948,2015-08-26,20409801,Brendan,"This place was amazing! 
5 minute walk to downtown. Beds were supper comfy, everything we needed was supplied. I've already recommended it to a friend. "
347736,44734605,2015-08-28,17171328,Orr,"Jason's apartment is gorgeous. The decor has been updated since the photos were taken and the apartment is actually significantly nicer than shown. Check in was a breeze and Jason responded to messages instantaneously. Location wise, the apartment is situated about 80 feet east of i35, on 6th street. Very close to everything, although the immediate vicinity (as in, directly downstairs) is slightly removed from the heart of downtown west of i35. In the summer heat, we chose to take cabs everywhere, but these rides were short because the apartment is relatively close to everything. Overall the experience was great, and I would definitely stay here again. The place is awesome."
347736,45077486,2015-08-31,27166377,John,Jason made check-in a breeze.  His communication was on point and the place was amazing.  It's within walking distance to all the great city of Austin has to offer.  I highly recommend staying at Jason's home if ever looking to book accommodations for future travel.  
347736,45510908,2015-09-03,1536513,Natasha,Jason's place is the perfect location for folks visiting Austin.  His space is beautiful and centrally located to Austin cultural activities.  He was very communicative and swell to work with.  I'd definitely recommend his place!
347736,46726592,2015-09-13,24447790,Clay,"Jason's place was absolutely perfect.  It's in a great location with lots of fun and interesting places within an easy walk.  The view is spectacular and there's even a little patio/balcony area in which to look out over downtown Austin.  The bed's themselves are extremely comfortable and luxurious and lent themselves to several good night's sleep.  He even provided coffee and creamer for my fiance/wife and her two bridesmaids saving us an emergency trip to the nearby grocery store.

All of this is more or less readily apparent based on the photos and various reviews but it's worth reemphasizing how easy Jason makes everything.  Getting access and checking in was a breeze.  He offered us a fairly comprehensive list of recommendations on things to do, places to eat and so forth which I greatly appreciated and I considered over and beyond the call of duty.  Though there was absolutely no need to contact him it seemed very clear to me that he was there if we needed him and that his goal was to help, make sure we were comfortable and that we had a good time.

I would not hesitate for even half a second to stay there again and I highly recommend his place if you're wanting to explore the vibrancy of Austin.  Thank you!"
347736,47293555,2015-09-17,22493509,Naomi,"Jason's place is amazing! Pictures don't do it justice. Jason keeps his apartment perfectly clean and has everything you need for your stay in Austin. A week before our arrival Jason sent me detailed instructions on how to access his place and any details we might need. He also provided a list of must see places in Austin which was super helpful! If we ever venture down to Austin again, Jason's place will be on the top of my list!"
347736,47755570,2015-09-21,16188509,Dorie,"We had a very nice time staying at Jason's.  The location was great and the space vas comfortable.  The balcony was really spacious considering the location of the unit.  The pictures were accurate.  Overall, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend.  We would also stay there again for a future visit."
347736,49592295,2015-10-05,15766431,Robert,Jason was great and provided excellent instructions and made us feel at home. The location is excellent!
347736,49990154,2015-10-08,34489608,Brian,"Jason's downtown loft was perfect. Even though it came with two parking spots we chose not to get a rental. Most places were in walking distance. Uber was easy as well. The apartment itself was gorgeous. We had some friends over and entertained a few times before going out. Very clean and felt very safe, as it was a gated complex. I would definitely stay here again if I had the opportunity. There is so much being built in Austin right now I'd love to see how the neighborhoods continue to get developed. "
347736,50431815,2015-10-12,4398613,Joe,"Great place in downtown Austin, directions for getting in were very concise. "
347736,50831493,2015-10-15,6397764,Stephanie,"SWANK! We had a great experience staying at this downtown loft. Jason's place is luxurious, clean and super comfortable. Loved being walking distance to restaurants and bars, too. Highly recommend."
347736,51605478,2015-10-22,728255,Erin,"Jason was a perfect host. The apartment is gorgeous and in an incredible location. Jason could not have been a better host and the apartment is a dream. We even stayed in one night as we wanted to make the most of it, perfect! Jason is so communicative and helpful and polite, just great. x "
925380,3773458,2013-03-13,4445855,Victoria,"Sloan's South Austin home is absolutely gorgeous, not to mention, she is an excellent host. During our stay, Sloan was available whenever we needed and was able to answer any of our questions. Her home is conveniently located close to downtown and the airport. Sloan's home is located in a safe, quiet neighborhood. 

If I ever travel back to Austin, Sloan's house would be my go-to-rental! I would highly recommend staying here.  "
925380,7912019,2013-10-08,5737808,Terisa,Awesome house!  Sloan was super hospitable - great experience!
925380,10919087,2014-03-13,11123620,Jelmer,"Great house, great owner, great hospitality

With 4 separate bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a nice kitchen with several sitting areas, and a great back yard, we felt home away from home. The owner had asked us if we would like any groceries and after a long flight and arriving at the house, the drinks and food were greatly appreciated. We rented this house with 4 colleagues and the house was big enough for everyone to have their privacy. This house would be great too with a family with children.
We rented bikes and had a 20 minute bike ride every morning into Austin. Near the house is a great running trail along a (dry this March) river.
The area was very safe. We had some deliveries to the house and they were just left on the porch without any problem.
We also used the washing machine and dryer, very easy. The house was very clean.

All in all we would definitely recommend this house, and rent it again if we had the chance."
925380,11001278,2014-03-17,9336344,Marcia,Only good things to say!! Sloan is really organized. She made sure we felt at home. She is an amazing host and I recommand her house to anybody that is staying in Austin. Hope we get to stay there again for SXSW 2015!
925380,20893274,2014-10-07,6048682,Jason,"It was a great trip and Sloan accurately represented her house.  Very clean, inviting and a very nice home."
925380,21275651,2014-10-14,14687593,Lisa,Sloan was a amazing host who made us feel extremely welcome!
925380,24644803,2015-01-01,10072043,Nitin,"We had a great time. The home was as advertised. It is in a good location for exploring Austin and surrounding areas.
"
925380,28123004,2015-03-18,13585587,Kyle,"Sloan was extremely communicative and hospitable in preparation for my and my team's visit. She was very detailed in outlining all facets of her house. She offered to buy groceries, which I didn't expect of an AirBNB host. She even wrote a welcome message on the chalkboard in the living room that her kids normally use. A very kind gesture and 100% Texas hospitality.

There was an issue with the cable TV and Sloan and her husband repeatedly offered to fix it, including making a visit to the house to attempt to fix it.

I communicated with Sloan often during the visit for a reminder on details she had already provided; she was patient and always available, even though she was on vacation.

Sloan gave me a head's up before arriving in Texas that the lawn in her backyard hadn't yet been placed down, due to cold weather. I appreciated that she felt it important to raise that issue with me so I wouldn't be surprised when I arrived.

Overall, the stay with Sloan was a fantastic experience. Myself and my friends were happy to have stayed there and I absolutely would do it again!"
925380,28331359,2015-03-22,28341339,Denton,"The house was beautiful, and set up fantastic! Great location for getting around Austin, and also in a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The owner was super quick to respond, and very helpful! Would absolutely use again, and recommend! "
925380,50613752,2015-10-13,5071465,Brandon,"Sloan is an incredibly gracious host and has a beautiful home that we enjoyed during ACL weekend! We were welcomed to an open, bright home with snacks and wine to start our weekend out right. Plenty of room to seat 5 couples around the TV or dinner table with beds for 8 with room for an air mattress. The backyard was a mainstay of our vacation and we enjoyed playing sports and hanging on the patio! It is a decent walk to Zilker Park (30-45 minutes), but an easy Uber ride to/from the festival. We'll certainly keep Sloan in mind for our next Austin adventure!"
1255816,5586876,2013-07-07,6841173,Adria,"I very much enjoyed my stay!  The flat was super cute, very clean, cozy, and had plenty of room for 2 people.  The sofa bed was very comfy, as was the bed in the bedroom.  Our host was amazing, she baked cookies for us (!) and was very helpful during our stay.  The location is great, very easy drive to all the local hot spots, and just a $10 cab ride from downtown.  There was very little street noise so we were able to have the windows open at night which was nice.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely stay here again! "
1255816,6227077,2013-08-04,2286003,Merril,"Anne was a sweet host, very easy to get in touch with, though we didn't really have any issues that we needed to communicate on in general.  The flat is well-located but definitely not really a walk to bars/restaurants in the middle of a Texan summer.  The flat itself is fine -- the A/C is in the living room and it does take a while for the bedroom to cool, but maybe this isn't such an issue during other parts of the year.  Slight odor in the living room.  Pretty clean overall, but definitely not a luxurious experience in terms of the details.    "
1255816,6602350,2013-08-18,6572791,Chelsea,Anne was a great host and the flat was cuuuute and pretty clean. Also in a nifty location.
1255816,6839130,2013-08-26,1159147,Casey,"Anne was an incredible host!! She was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make me feel completely at home. She even baked me some chocolate chip cookies that were sooo good! 
The cottage is private, very clean and extremely comfortable. It also takes in a lot of natural light with views of tree-lined streets. It is in Travis Heights, one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. There are so many places nearby to dine at and a ton of cute boutiques for shopping. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I will definitely be back to stay here during my next trip to Austin.  Thank you Anne for the wonderful stay!"
1255816,7353248,2013-09-16,8710209,Chase,This flat worked perfectly for my girlfriend and I. The location was great and the flat was exactly what we needed. Anne was a marvelous host and even left us freshly baked cookies one evening. I highly recommend this as a place to stay and I can't speak highly enough about Anne and her hospitality!
1255816,7521754,2013-09-23,877946,Brandon,"Anne is a great host. Extremely friendly and attentive. The place is cute, bright, clean, and comfortable. Very cozy and relaxing, perfect for two people, but can accommodate four. Ample towels were provided, as well as clean sheets for the sofa bed, and shampoo & conditioner. Anne even provided coffee and soy milk, and left cookies for us. Location very convenient to S. Congress street with lots of shops and restaurants. Unit is right off a main road, so occasional drivers (like me) need to be extra cautious when parking on the street. Staying here was a great experience and I highly reccomend it. "
1255816,7612921,2013-09-26,46926,Stephanie,"Anne's place is well located, comfortable, and clean. She was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Even left us coffee, creamer, and baked cookies. So sweet. I would definitely recommend staying here. "
1255816,7709789,2013-09-30,8679970,Shane,"Great little flat in a good neighborhood.  Able to get around by foot and bus if you don't mind walking a little.  Lots of neat houses and shops near by.

The place itself is very nice, clean, cozy and private.  Anne was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed.  Will definitely check this place for vacancy next time we are in town."
1255816,7942143,2013-10-09,1012864,Adrianne,"Anne's flat was perfect for our trip and it was exactly as described.  Anne was very attentive and friendly.  We were so excited to find a bag of chocolate chip cookies hanging on the door when we returned one night!  I would definitely stay here again.

Also, I found car2go the best option for traveling to and from the flat.  The bus stop was just a little bit farther than I wanted to walk in the heat and renting a bike cost a little more than I wanted to spend considering I would probably only use it a few times.  I could park the car2go on the main road right outside the flat and could usually find another one within a few blocks of the flat when needed."
1255816,8078316,2013-10-15,7055874,Jack,"Anne was a great host - present but not too present - and her place is a perfect base for exploring Austin. Its just a short walk from South Congress and all the bars and shops, but also in a very quiet leafy neighbourhood. The apartment is perfect for couples, and is very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend!"
1255816,8256021,2013-10-22,7975513,Sarah,"Perfect laid back little place to rest our heads and spend some time!  There were two of us girls the first night, three ladies the second night, and four the third night and the flat was great accommodating any capacity. There were a lot of cool things to look at inside and it was stocked with most anything you would need for your stay.  

Outside the flat itself, the Travis Heights neighborhood is extremely walkable and charming, and safe! Just a few blocks east of the best part of South Congress.  We rented a car to get around the rest of the city and the coordination of parking was easy in the driveway or in an off-street spot.

Anne and her husband were extremely responsive and reachable via text if just checking in or changing a light bulb that went out.  Very highly recommend this flat if visiting Austin on a budget!!!"
1255816,8364538,2013-10-28,7512417,Suiwen,"I had a short visit in Austin and stayed in Anne's place. The flat is very clean, safe, cozy, and comfortable; location-wise, it's a good choice with walking distance to South Congress with many bars, shops, and clubs. Anne is very friendly, attentive, and accomodating. We particularly like the over-size bed, kitchen dinning area, and the coffee and cookies that Anne prepared for us. We are very happy with our choice and strongly recommend it!
"
1255816,8526785,2013-11-04,575262,Vivian,"Anne was such a great host!  She was very flexible with check-in and check-out times and met us to briefly show us the flat.  She also provided tea and creamer for us, which was a nice added touch.  The bed was a big king and very comfy and the entire flat had a very cute, eclectic Austin charm to it!  She checked in with us every day to make sure we were okay and left us some surprise cookies at the door one evening which made our stay even more pleasant.  The location is perfect as well; we brought our bikes and biked a short uphill distance to south congress and made our way all the way to campus and the surrounding areas and back with no problems.  I would definitely recommend this place for others and stay here again!"
1255816,8714325,2013-11-13,5742178,Allison,"Anne was a great host! My boyfriend and I were in town for a few days and we found the flat to be very comfortable and clean, in addition to being in a great location."
1255816,8779037,2013-11-18,296272,Juan P,Anne was a great host -- very accomodating to our schedule. The apartment is very central to both downtown and several highways. Flat is cozy and great for 1-3 (max 3). Very quiet and very clean. 
1255816,8945186,2013-11-27,9382912,Chris,Anne was great! The flat was in a great location and was clean and functional. Anne was very responsive and helpful as well
1255816,8999942,2013-12-01,7610986,Corey,"Anne was a lovely, accommodating host and the flat was a cozy home away from home! My boyfriend and I also loved the location- perfect for afternoon walks to South Congress or the river."
1255816,9274649,2013-12-17,403173,Tim,Anne was super responsive and accommodating.  Her apartment was amazing. The king size bed really made it awesome. It's a great size apartment for a couple to really make you feel like you're living in Austin. It's close enough to Congress and other South Austin treats; though we drove since it is a little over a mile and a bit hilly to walk (and it was really cold haha). Definitely recommend!!
1255816,9353089,2013-12-23,542288,Amy,"This is airbnb at it's best. A lovely apartment, great location and awesome host! Anne even brought us homemade cookies on the second day. The apartment is dedicated to airbnb use only, which makes it completly ideal.  We were in Austin for wedding planning before heading to SA for the holiday's and this place was perfect. My Mom even stayed one night and LOVED IT!  I can't say enough nice things about this place. We will definitly be staying again throughout our wedding planning!! Thanks Anne!!"
1255816,9469931,2013-12-30,2542244,Michelle,"Anne was a delightful host! We found her communication and personal touches so thoughtful--suggestions on where to visit, ""don't miss"" restaurants, even a birthday cupcakes and warm home made cookies! Te great, peaceful  location made for an easy walk through some nice neighborhoods, yet close to hip shopping and eats. "
1255816,9554252,2014-01-02,10304235,Elizabeth,"We had a wonderful stay at anne's place and will choose it again next time we come through Austin!  Super clean. Super convenient. Super host. Perfect size for 2 maybe 3 adults. 
Anne was over the top kind and considerate and allowed us all our privacy. Our check out day was New Years Day and she welcomed us to take our time getting on the road.  Stay here!  beth and iverson"
1255816,9829993,2014-01-13,4194601,Anna,"We loved our stay at Anne's Travis Heights apartment. Cozy, clean, and a nice location walking distance from South Congress. Anne was a great host - very helpful and responsive with any and all questions and requests. Would recommend! "
1255816,10065172,2014-01-28,854006,Laura,"We had a great time in Austin at Anne's Travis Heights flat - she was a very accomodating host, and even left us cupcakes and (delicious) homemade cookies! The flat is very cozy and cute, and the location is great - a good walking distance from restaurants, shops and bars in the South Congress area. Easy location to get anywhere in Austin, and we will definitely stay again next time we're in the area!"
1255816,10109473,2014-01-31,11137187,Michelle,"I had a lot to do while I was in Austin, and Anne's place was perfect for relaxing and recharging at night. It was very clean & comfortable, with thoughtful touches, like beverages in the fridge and homemade cookies. The apartment is above a garage and is very private in one of the most charming neighborhoods in town."
1255816,10246262,2014-02-09,10980513,Sean,"We had a wonderful time at Anne's. The place was clean and comfortable. It was unseasonably cold in Austin while we were there, but Anne provided extra heaters and blankets to make sure we toasty. 

She also brought us up some homemade cookies! 

The location is also great - it's a short walk to S Congress. 

We would definitely stay again on a return visit to Austin."
1255816,10419551,2014-02-18,10730188,Patrick,"Whole experience was great! We came to run the half marathon and our host greeted us with a race survival pack, coffee, beer and even VIP passes to the post race soirée. Place was clean and well stocked - we wanted for nothing. We even received home-baked cookies after our race.
Would definitely stay again next time in Austin."
1255816,10469422,2014-02-20,11909348,Veronica,"My sister and I took a quick trip to Austin and loved Anne's flat. The neighborhood was great, so close to South Congress and full of beautiful houses. Anne was easy to work with and kept in touch with us during our stay. The flat was stocked with everything we needed and lots of extras. It was so nice to have a fridge and coffee! The king size bed was perfect. Anne left cookies for us on our second day and we really enjoyed them. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
1255816,10567796,2014-02-25,11214880,Kristen,"I stayed in the flat for 4 nights recently, and it was a terrific experience.  Anne makes sure that you are comfortable and have everything you need.  I loved being able to leave the screen door open and enjoy the breeze.  The flat is in the perfect location so that it never takes much time to get anywhere in town.  Hands down, I would stay here again.  It totally beats an overpriced, cramped hotel room with $25 valet fees any day! If you decide to stay here, enjoy!

1255816,10682636,2014-03-03,6825066,Summer,"We had a fabulous stay at Anne's. It was me, my husband, my mother and my baby boy. It was the perfect location near downtown and super close to congress. The space was inviting, clean and fit us all comfortably. 

Anne was a great host, everything was clear,, and she even brought us cookies! Best stay in Austin ever!"
1255816,10916998,2014-03-13,3391948,Christian Orry,We really enjoyed our stay and the homemade cookies.
1255816,10998967,2014-03-17,1568530,Pamela,"I couldn't ask for a better host than Anne. Her place is cute, tidy, and perfect for two people. It's also walking distance from South Congress Ave. My husband and I didn't really have too many reasons to be in touch with Anne because we had everything we needed, but she very kindly checked in on us via text. The best part was the homemade cookies she left at our door while we were away. Highly recommend staying here if you're in Austin. "
1255816,11071802,2014-03-19,11020539,Robert,"We, a couple with adult daughter, spent just two nights at the flat - too short! The place is just wonderful. Anne had prepared everything, even had asked us in advance whether we wanted cream, soy, milk. So, when we arrived, we found the fridge stocked: Two packages of organic milk, fruit spread... One late afternoon we walked in the neighborhood park and area, everything so green and well kept. Looks like we fell in love with this place, good reason to come again. Not to forget, Anne's trademark cookies :-)"
1255816,11169320,2014-03-24,1763273,Justin,"My wife and I and our 10 month old had a lovely stay at Anne's.  Anne accommodated all of our needs and kept in good contact with us to see if we needed anything else.  The flat was very clean and everything worked.  Highly recommend staying here.

1255816,11250741,2014-03-26,132077,Adam,"I had the pleasure of staying at Anne's delightful flat during a short trip to Austin and absolutely loved it.  The apartment itself is clean, comfortable, and full of character.  The weather was cold and drizzly and I was more than happy to hang out at the kitchen table enjoying a pot of coffee in the cozy apartment.  The location is great, bars and shops at South Congress are only a short walk away through a very pleasant neighborhood.  I really appreciated the many personal touches from Anne and her husband Jim that made my stay extra enjoyable.  Thanks guys!  Austin's a great city and I'd love to stay here again next time I'm in town."
1255816,11316499,2014-03-29,2380395,Kyndal,"What a wonderful space! I felt so cozy and at home here! The pictures are very true to the flat. It was very clean and easy to enjoy your vacation in. Anne was extremely nice and helpful. She is awesome at communication with her renters and makes you feel like your a special guest. She even left us cookies for a late midnight snack. (I'd re-book just because of that!) Lovely space. Lovely people. Lovely Location. 

Lovely, lovely, lovely...thats all I had to say. :) "

Congress and we even walked downtown. The flat is very comfortable and private. Anne and Tim were lovely hosts. On hand to help out and those home made cinnamon biscuits. Scrumptious!"
1255816,11581596,2014-04-08,7302066,Peggy,We spent four nights at the flat and found the accommodations to be just what we were looking for.  Anne met us that the flat when we arrived and reached out to us by text each day to see if we needed anything or she could be of any help.  The location was great and the cookies much appreciated!
1255816,11670377,2014-04-11,13645813,George,I would absolutely recommend staying here.  Anne was so very helpful to me.  The apartment was convenient quiet and very comfortable.  I was in Austin on business and I would certainly return to Tim and Anne’s place for  pleasure with my wife.

1255816,11859225,2014-04-17,4380678,Charity,"This is a great apartment in a great part of Austin - you're a 10/15 min walk to SoCo and you could eat and shop there for a week and never do the same thing twice.

The apartment was wonderful and Anne was such a great host; very communicative, very flexible when we wanted to check in early after a hard festival and she even made us delicious cookies!  Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Thank you Anne!"
1255816,11990901,2014-04-21,198545,Joyce,"Ann & Tim, thanks for letting us stay at your place. It was a cozy, warm and comfortable place. We felt like we were at home. The next time we visit Austin, there's no doubt we'll stay here again.  "
1255816,12271189,2014-04-28,11762422,Elizabeth,"I had a wonderful stay in Anne's lovely apartment.  Anne was a thoughtful and communicative host who was always available but never too available!  She made the stay a pleasure!  The apartment is lovely, exactly as pictured, clean, well-kept, quiet, and private.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat when in Austin!"
1255816,12523413,2014-05-05,9162445,Andre,"We had a great time in Anne's and Tim's place in Austin. The flat is spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated, and located in a very quiet neighborhood. Anne and Tim were super nice and even gave us a ride when our cab didn't show up (beware of cab services in Austin, very unreliable!). Great hosts that went out of their way to make us comfortable. Would definitely stay there again."

The flat is a short walk to South Congress and a great run to Lady Bird Lake.  The flat is super clean and comfortable.  Anne provides some kitchen basics, so simple meals are easy to fix.  We cannot wait to come back!"

She kept in touch with us before, during, and after the visit to make sure that we had everything we needed. Anne was by far one of the most communicative and helpful Airbnb hosts that we've had. Would happily stay there again."

The flat is very clean and spacious and well equipped. Would definitely stay here again next time in Austin!"
1255816,13904559,2014-06-07,5759393,Josh,"Having found myself in Austin last minute, Anne was extremely prompt in replying to my booking so that I could indeed have accommodations last minute (which I obviously appreciate).  After a couple of quick messages we were set and I had keys!  

The flat itself is good sized for a garage apartment and contains all the necessary creature comforts for a relaxed visit.  The 2nd story location keeps the place full of light.  

The Travis Heights location is an easy walk to South Congress for food / drink / social activities and Stacy Park for a morning jog.  

I wouldn't hesitate to stay with Anne again.  "
1255816,14632949,2014-06-23,14646961,Jae,"Anne was great! She was very responsive to all my inquiries and was very welcoming. Charming little flat, close enough (about a 10-15 minute walk) to quirky South Congress area and just short drive (5 minutes) to downtown. Loved it!"
1255816,14848118,2014-06-27,801935,Judi G,anne came in to see if everything was alright.  the place was small but very clean.  i have a back problem and had trouble with the bed and also the ac units didn't help for sleeping.
1255816,15036357,2014-07-01,14363356,Andrea,"Anne is a great host and very accommodating. Her flat was very comfortable, in a beautiful neighborhood and very close to S. Congress Street. Anne checked in everyday to make sure we were set and even made us cookies."

Great stay!! Thanks a lot!"
1255816,15512564,2014-07-10,1729724,Alex,"Top notch stay. Anne was an awesome host. From a personalized welcome letter to checking in with me every day to make sure all was in order to fresh baked cookies before I left, she made the stay a true pleasure. The flat was very clean, well designed and functional. Very comfortable bed and thoughtful layout of AC and fans to make sure the sweltering Texas heat was bearable. Great location in a quiet neighborhood with rolling hills and quick access to great running and biking trails. I'll be back for my next stay in Austin!"
1255816,15654817,2014-07-13,17639671,Justin,"We couldn't have had a better experience!

1255816,17915485,2014-08-18,12206131,Haley,"We had a lovely time staying at Flat 1005! It was conveniently located off I-35 and a 20 minute walk from S. Congress. We had anything and everything we could need for our family of four, including a sweet stash of Lincoln Logs! Anne made sure we were comfortable and checked in every day, she even baked us cookies! We all hope to stay here again in the future!"
1255816,18324695,2014-08-25,17980612,Alice,"This place is great and I would 100% recommend! We had such a great time staying here and Anne was a fantastic host. The flat is really nicely decorated, clean and so comfortable, with coffee, cream and sparkling water all ready to go in the fridge. There was air con and fans which kept the place nice and cool, plenty of towels, and the beds were really comfortable. Anne was also really helpful with anything we needed - and baked some delicious cookies for us! Thanks Anne!

The walk to South Congress from the flat is nice and perfect for walking to get dinner or breakfast, but other than that I would definitely recommend having a car - it's so hot that walking anywhere else is a struggle. We spent a lot of time at Barton Springs swimming to cool off which was great. "
1255816,19122317,2014-09-07,12839580,Elizabeth,Anne was overall an amazing host and made our stay in Austin! The flat was conveniently located just off the interstate; easy to find in a safe and quiet neighborhood.

1255816,19239306,2014-09-08,3477247,Julie,"We had a fabulous stay at Anne's flat. It could not have been more convenient for our quick overnight trip, and Anne was the perfect host. We thoroughly enjoyed her home-baked cookies!"
1255816,19689866,2014-09-16,20278696,Lauren,"The apartment was very nice. great location. Clean, neat comfortable.
Anne was very friendly and easy to get in touch with and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed."
1255816,20429335,2014-09-29,392357,Noah,Anne's listing was exactly as described. Very clean and a nice neighborhood. Liked the interior style.  Anne met us when we checked in and was very nice.
1255816,20875411,2014-10-06,3317474,Enriko,"Perfection is the best way to describe my stay at Anne's Travis Heights flat.  She greeted me with a smile and was very informative about the flat, amenities, and the neighborhood.  What stuck out most to me was the cleanliness of the flat, which helped make my stay so much cozier.  
Anne provides you with a great deal of essentials like: extra towels, blow dryer, iron, shampoo & conditioner (in case you forget yours), board games, coffee, teas, and most importanly her awesome homemade muffins.  It is obvious Anne takes great pride in making the tenant comfortable and feel at home.  The location of the flat is great and convenient to downtown, SOCO, Zilker Park and other major attraction sites.  SOCO is a short and beautiful walk from the flat and is very safe.  I could not have asked for a more comfortable and welcoming stay. "
1255816,21192639,2014-10-13,2118236,Yuning,"Our stay at Anne's place in Travis Height was wonderful. The place was cute, clean, and convenient to South Congress.

1255816,21591716,2014-10-20,2995507,Colleen,"Anne's listing, and the many positive reviews, very accurately reflect what you will find in her flat.  It was comfortable (with a wonderful king bed!), clean, and conveniently located (about a 10 minute walk to South Congress).  Anne is conscientious and welcoming, and kindly checked in via text on our second day to make sure we had everything we needed.  Beyond being an excellent host, Anne is a talented baker - the chocolate chip muffins she left for us were a highlight in a weekend of delicious eats!"
1255816,21830648,2014-10-25,2437198,Kathryn,Great place and location for a quick trip to Austin! Nice and easy parking as well 
1255816,22016684,2014-10-28,207828,Callie,"Host was VERY helpful and courteous and communicative.
Location was SUPERB... best Austin neighborhood for lovely walks and close to SoCo and all the fun."
1255816,22127943,2014-10-30,19931908,Stephen,This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't have asked for a better host or location.  I was warmly welcomed upon arrival with fresh muffins and the accommodations exceeded my expectations.  The location and neighborhood was simply fantastic and just a few short blocks away from Austin's trendy restaurants on South Congress.  I highly recommend this flat and look forward to staying there again soon.  
1255816,22352713,2014-11-04,3589619,Allan,This is a charming place and Anne is a thoughtful and welcoming hostess. We were so pleased with the location and that we could catch a bit of the feel for the residential neighbourhood as well as explore the SOCO commercial district nearby.  The flat is comfortable and spacious.
1255816,22448430,2014-11-06,22355526,Karl,"Anne was great and was in continuous contact to ensure that I had everything I needed. The location was great and very accessible. The listing was clean and tidy and Anne ensured that there was basic coffee, milk, water etc on arrival.

Decor was great with lots of interesting artwork on show. "
1255816,22452581,2014-11-07,8003380,Jason,"Wonderful experience.  Place was exactly as listed.  Anne was a delight, and communication was great.  Would recommend to anyone staying in Austin.  "
1255816,22641851,2014-11-11,2435866,Lauren,Anne was wonderful! Easy communication and she left a little treat on the door for us when we came home after the last night of Funfunfun fest. The place is in a perfect location and nice and quiet. 
1255816,22912059,2014-11-17,23126118,Sarah,"This flat is exactly as pictured and very close to S. Congress Street and Rainey Street (only a $7 Uber ride away!); a great place to be located if you're looking to explore Austin! Anne was incredibly sweet, and made us feel very at home-plenty of toiletries and towels and coffee creamer :) And, to top it off, the bed is VERY comfortable, so it was a nice place to come back to after a long day/night out on the town. I will definitely be looking at this listing again if I am ever headed back to Austin! Thanks Anne!"
1255816,23291331,2014-11-28,17469219,Cindy,"Anne was very accommodating and the location was great- right next to S. Congress & easy access to Rainey St. We were also able to park in the driveway. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. However, we were disappointed with the flat. Some of the furniture is different from the pictures (table, chairs, microwave), the sheets and pillows were not comfortable for me, the bathroom could have been cleaner. It was cold outside and we had to use a space heater that could not heat the full flat or maintain a steady temperature. I've stayed in Austin in other airbnbs that were significantly less expensive that were cleaner and more comfortable. I was expecting more for the higher price, though I thank Anne for her generous hospitality. "
1255816,23317339,2014-11-29,23132942,James,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1255816,23993130,2014-12-16,22691431,Eric,"Anne was waiting for us on arrival and gave a comprehensive guide to the facilities. We were visiting family in the vicinity so knew the area and could get around without needing assistance from Anne. So, although we corresponded by e-mail on a couple of occasions, we didn't need to meet Anne again. Nevertheless, we got a clear impression that she was very willing to assist in any way. The above-garage accommodation in a separate building was clean and well equipped - additional laundered towels if required - fulfilled our needs very well. The bed was super comfortable. Good location, 4 min walk to Big Stacy Park, 8 min walk to South Congress Av with many good restaurants. We can recommend this accommodation and would happily book again."
1255816,24470711,2014-12-29,22718662,Daniel,"The neighborhood was really quiet/safe/beautiful, and within a 10 minute drive in any direction of 6th street/downtown, South Congress, and all the non-city amenities you might need like big box stores. Anne was a fantastic host, and I find it hard to add onto the many positive reviews others have left without repeating their praise. She was kind enough to let us stay the day after Christmas, which meant that she had just come back from vacation. Everything was extra-clean and the place felt homey. Prior to my visit, Anne made us feel welcome by responding promptly to any questions I had. Although we didn't have the chance to really chat, Anne reached out to us during our visit to make sure that we were all set each night. We will definitely consider staying here again the next time we're in Austin!"
1255816,24824842,2015-01-03,4246014,Felicitas,Anne has been a fantastic and lovely host. We stayed there for NYE and got a very warm and neighbourhoodly welcome. The place is great for 2 people in a perfectly located neighbourhood close to S Congress avenue.
1255816,25452224,2015-01-16,1729724,Alex,"Second time staying at Anne and Tim's place. Awesome stay, I'll be back. "
1255816,25938019,2015-01-30,3356777,Josh,We only stayed one night in Anne's apartment but we loved it. Was very cozy and the bed was really comfy. I would love to come back and stay a few days next time. Thank you!
1255816,26033193,2015-02-01,17149656,Austin,"Anne is a super gracious hostess, and her apartment in Travis Heights was extremely comfortable. The apt is actually right near Anne's house, so she was very flexible on check-in and check-out stuff. 

Really great neighborhood especially if you're looking for something quiet or low key. The bed is literally gigantic, and Anne even left some chocolate chip cookies for me with a thank you note!

Thanks *you*, Anne!"
1255816,26089728,2015-02-02,11393588,Jonathan,My travel plans kept changing and Anne still accommodated me. I was in-and-out so I wish I would've had more time to visit and spend time in the place! Great location close to the action but in a neighborhood where I slept peacefully. 
1255816,26394221,2015-02-11,26077940,Bennett,"Hostess met us and made us feel at home.  Great location, walkable to South Congress Street.  It got cool at night, so space heater was welcome.
A working TV would have been nice, if only for news."
1255816,26551012,2015-02-15,26919263,Tom,Anne was very gracious in offering assistance in finding her place and in welcoming me once I was there.  She even offered to bring in an inflatable mattress for an additional guest if needed.  The neighborhood worked out perfect for us.  It was very near great places to eat and popular music venues.  She even left us some home baked cookies which were absolutely delicious.  
1255816,26738992,2015-02-18,24358835,John,Amazing and very attentive. Highly recommend 
1255816,26922007,2015-02-22,15080603,Anna,"Everything as described.  Anne was super flexible and available via text which made the overnight super easy as we had such a limited time in Austin.  Great location and a perfect place for four to stay in Austin long term or just for the night.

Thanks Anne!"
1255816,27409896,2015-03-03,17309915,Caroline,"We had a great time staying at Anne's apartment. It was very clean and everything else was as described.  We had a car while visiting Austin, but thought her home was very well situated.  She was also very thoughtful in providing space heaters for us and firing them up before we arrived, as the weather was very cold. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Anne! "
1255816,27540222,2015-03-07,27146220,Joseph,Everything as advertised.  Very comfortable flat in quiet neighborhood about a 20 min. walk to Congress street.  Anne was extremely attentive and never intrusive.  Very positive experience.

1255816,28158095,2015-03-19,10105564,Hilary,The apartment was exactly as described.  Anne met me at the apartment and gave me a quick tour.  Looked exactly as the description. Anne even spotted that I was a cyclist and helped me find local rides - even taking me out on a fab ride.
1255816,28254321,2015-03-21,338223,Justin And Emma,"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Anne's place. Anne herself was very kind and welcoming, even going so far as to leave a bag of homemade cookies waiting for us when we got home one night. She was attentive, while also leaving us to enjoy all that Austin and the area had to offer. Four of us stayed in the apartment and were perfectly comfortable. The flat has a great location and is an easy and pretty walk from South Congress with all its great bars and restaurants. We absolutely loved our time in Austin, and Anne and her flat played a huge part in that. Anne was easy to communicate with and made check in and out very easy. We would recommend this place to anyone and can't wait to come back  and stay here again next time we are in Austin. Thanks Anne!"
1255816,28908705,2015-03-31,27838771,Anthony,"House was very nice!  Anne was on top of it and made sure if I ever needed anything she was there!  She brought me cookies, which was nice!  The best part was the BIIIIIG California king bed.  Loved it!"
1255816,29198470,2015-04-05,2110951,Khoi,The house was everything that it advertised and much more. Perfect for what we needed and the fans in the bedroom were a life saver for those who are not used to warmer weather. The neighborhood was lovely and we enjoyed walking and biking from here to see all of Austin. The host was more than helpful and very accommodating with recommendations around the city and checked in to make sure we had everything that we needed. Wonderful experience!
1255816,29497350,2015-04-08,3484208,Eileen,"Anne is a wonderful host and the Tasteful Trendy Travis Heights apartment was a lovely place to stay during my Austin visit.  Anne was in touch before my visit to make sure of my arrival time and during my visit to make sure I had everything I needed.  The apartment is very well located, near restaurants, shops, a pool and biking.   The apartment was comfortable, clean and had everything I needed.  I would be happy to stay there again. "

The neighborhood is really nice and quiet but walking distance to South Congress."
1255816,30938202,2015-04-29,29812783,David,Great hostess. She met us at the property when we arrived from Ft Worth and gave us the lay of the place. Even checked up on us the next day to see how we were doing. The apartment has pretty mucheverything you would need and was within 5 minutes of all kinds of awesome places to eat.
1255816,31176973,2015-05-03,28193422,Matthew,"Anne was extremely accomodating. Even when we missed our flights and arrived later in the evening, she was very understanding and lovely.

The flat looked exactly like the pictures & description and it is well within walking distance to South Congress. Unfortunately it rained during the entire trip so we were not able to enjoy a walk but it was still wonderful to be so close to a main attraction area in Austin. Would absolutely recommend this flat to anyone looking to visit Austin!"
1255816,32647019,2015-05-19,25149814,Bethany,"Anne is such a great host! The space is great, and the bed is amazing! Love the neighborhood and hope to stay here again!"
1255816,32950082,2015-05-23,25408907,Jason,Awesome!! Anne was an exceptional host. I can't wait to come back to Austin and stay longer. 
1255816,33080840,2015-05-25,10967362,Matthew,"Place was as described. Clean, fantastic location. She means it when she says pull into the driveway slowly! Overall I would not hesitate to stay here again."
1255816,33343917,2015-05-26,34067175,Laura,"This house was very comfortable and clean, and the location is great!"
1255816,33691195,2015-05-31,4757826,Cy,We had such an enjoyable stay at this flat! Everything was very clean and Anne was able to meet us immediately upon our arrival. The photographs are true to the living space and the host is extremely warm and welcoming. We definitely recommend it!
1255816,33841561,2015-06-01,19075094,Jing,"The listing was accurate. The neighborhood is very accessible and quiet, but with some activity (walkers, joggers, etc.) The host met us at check in and made herself available for any questions or requests. She dropped off a bag of chocolate chip cookies during our visit. The place is very clean and well stocked. "
1255816,34192822,2015-06-06,28252344,Jennifer,"We stayed for 2 nights and loved it! The loft was exactly as described, clean, and is in a great location/neighborhood within walking distance to South Congress. We also walked to Whip In. Anne was very responsive from the moment we booked and was there to greet us when we arrived. We appreciated the extra touches like coffee in the frig and plenty of towels. I would definitely recommend this listing if you are staying in the Austin area."
1255816,35599716,2015-06-20,3906347,Alessia,"Really lovely place, we are very happy that we booked it :) It's perfect for a couple from New York going to Austin to explore its food and culture. Centrally located, close to shops and food trucks, easy Uber access and overall a lovely neighborhood! Thank you guys!!!"
1255816,36147863,2015-06-25,36173741,Lynn,"This was our first Airbnb experience and we didn't really know what to expect. However any worries we had quickly evaporated once we began emailing with Anne and we saw the flat. Anne answered every question quickly and kept in touch during our stay by texting us to ask if we needed anything. It was a great flat and very comfortable, clean and nicely furnished. It's in a great neighborhood and we walked to the shops and restaurants along South Congress. She left a pitcher of cold water in the fridge which we very much appreciated.  We are already looking forward to our next visit. "
1255816,36250054,2015-06-26,25149814,Bethany,"Anne's place is great! Great and safe location, plenty of space and an amazing host. This is my second time staying here, and I'll definitely be back!"
1255816,36619828,2015-06-29,36456484,Eric,"I loved the space! It was in such a convenient location (a $11 uber from downtown at night) as well. Close to South Congress and downtown. The inside of the space was also very comfortable. We didn't spend much time in there other than to shower and sleep but the time that we did spend inside, we really enjoyed! I would gladly return to Anne's amazing space and hospitality!"
1255816,37678704,2015-07-09,21044882,Teresa,Great place and great location...just as advertised. Loved the neighborhood.  Anne is a wonderful host and kept checking in with us throughout the week.  My husband travels so much for work so he really didn't want to do a hotel for a week while visiting our daughter...he says we will definitely rent from Anne again! And the cookies were delicious!
1255816,38555926,2015-07-16,20536174,Alex,"Anne was very responsive to our needs and was very friendly. We flew in late so she left the keys under the door for us. I had several questions and she answered me promptly. Even gave me a couple of recommendations of places to visit in town. I couldn't ask for more. 

As far the flat, everything was decorated nicely and clean, the bed was roomy (actually much more comfortable than what we have at home), and the location was perfect. So close that it cost us less to take Uber everywhere than to rent a car (I did the calculation). If you want to walk, there is a bunch of shops and a killer breakfast/brunch place about 10 mins walk. 

Highly recommended. Very well put together and gives you the local feel. Why would anyone want to stay in a cookie cutter hotel anymore?!"
1255816,38966679,2015-07-19,5279226,Heather,Had a very nice stay at Anne's place. She was helpful and kind. Even mailed me something I left behind. I recommend her spot!
1255816,41135182,2015-08-04,11665599,Robert,"Anne was a great host, and was very helpful and accommodating.  She met us right when we arrived and the apartment was already set up, in perfect order.

The apartment was just what we were looking for, in a beautiful and quiet area, and no more than a few minutes to anywhere we wanted to go in Austin.  This was the perfect choice for our long weekend and a great base from which to explore the city. "
1255816,41556004,2015-08-07,6129768,Philippe,"Anne was a wonderful host !

We booked the appartement just few hours before the arrival and Anne was really accommodating and friendly. 
 
The appartement is lovely and very clean. The neighborhood is awesome, really close to the SoCo district - which is on of the 'place to be' in Austin for trendy boutiques and restaurants. You are not far from the downtown by car. 

And finally, the cookies were delicious  ! :)

Highly recommended. 

Philippe "
1255816,42014575,2015-08-10,31479435,Zachery,Anne was great; showed us the place and even made a pile of cookies for our departure. 
1255816,42968786,2015-08-16,4757826,Cy,"As always, our experience at Anne's flat was a pleasant one! She is always so welcoming and available to answer any questions. The flat is always tidy and cozy with everything you may need! We definitely recommend it!"
1255816,43200974,2015-08-17,41489961,Whitney,"Our stay at Anne's was perfect!  She gave us a quick rundown on the place and made sure to let us know she was just a phone call away.  The apartment was very clean and smelled amazing, I already bought the room spray she uses.  The location is awesome, pretty neighborhood and just a couple minutes from South Congress.  When we came home that night we had the most delicious homemade cookies waiting for us, how thoughtful?!   I am definitely going to try and stay here next time I'm in town.  A++++"
1255816,43462760,2015-08-19,33692269,Jaime, Anne was very helpful and patient with my guest and me when I got lost.  This place was very convenient to get around Austin. Good place to stay just for one night. 
1255816,44245390,2015-08-24,41831836,Andres,"It is by far one of the best places to stay in Austin. We felt just like home and Anne was an excellent host. Would recommend to anyone, definitely coming back."
1255816,45957252,2015-09-07,36993533,Kristen,I had a wonderful experience at Anne's place. The flat is very clean and located in a great area very close to SoCo and downtown. Anne made sure to text me every day and ask if all was well while we stayed. She was also nice enough to leave us cookies on our last night there. I loved staying here and will definitely look it up again next time I am in ATX. 
1255816,46962727,2015-09-14,3677521,Jacquelyn,"We loved staying here. The location was great, walking distance to s. Congress. The apt was spacious, clean and perfect for my ladies reunion weekend. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to Austin. Also the homemade cookies .....AMAZING!!"
1255816,47525445,2015-09-20,43101288,Crystal,"This location in Travis Heights was perfect!   It was very well maintained, clean and comfortable. Cute decor and a quick drive to downtown and some fantastic restaurants.  Will definitely consider staying there next time I need to be in Austin."
1255816,51114474,2015-10-18,37814911,Richard,Anne is a lovely host--attentive but not intrusive at all. The flat is comfy and well equipped--coffee with the coffee maker always a plus!We were in town for a wedding and the great location of this flat made exploring Austin an extra treat.
1255816,51888167,2015-10-25,38502892,Whit,"This trip was our first time using Airbnb.  Based on our experiences with Anne, we will definitely do it again.  Anne was very responsive and easy to reach.  The apartment was well appointed.  It was clean, comfortable, and quiet.  The South Congress area and a nearby park were an easy walk, as stated in the profile.  Our son lives in Austin and we would be happy to stay here next time we visit."
1255816,52059825,2015-10-26,13849321,David,"Anne was a very nice host. Gave us a quick tour of the house and made as feel comfortable right away. The weather was lousy and cold... the reception warm and welcoming. We were in Austin for the Formula 1 race and couldn't have stayed at a better place. Close to the downtown activities and on the right side of town for the race track.

The space was clean, the bedding was clean, the kitchen and bathroom were spotless. I had two AirB&B first timers and our stay at Anne's made them converts."
972878,42239663,2015-08-11,14857314,Kathryn,"Allix made us feel welcome and she was very accommodating with our late check-in schedule. When we checked in, we had two beers and snacks waiting for us. It was very easy for us to come and go as we pleased. She was available if we needed her, but also respected our privacy. We would certainly stay here again.  It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway."
972878,43168189,2015-08-17,40908720,Dave,"This was our first time using airbnb, and we couldn't have asked for a better host than Allix. We were in Austin celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. Allix helped me arrange a balloon delivery to be waiting for my gf when we arrived. The rental is a duplex-style and is a cozy place. The location was very convenient to the entire Austin area with our rental car. Allix had two local craft beers waiting in the fridge along with water and trail mix. I enjoyed picking on the guitar while drinking French press coffee in the morning. Highly recommend staying here if you're in Austin. "
972878,43569899,2015-08-20,30947976,Cristina,Allix and Cesar were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. Their listing was as described and couldn't have been more perfect for our needs. Highly recommend!
972878,44064047,2015-08-23,2251759,Kaycie,"Allix and Cesar were great hosts. The space was perfect for us. We were celebrating our anniversary, and they made it special with nice touches, like a sweet card and chocolates! They even came over with a couple of wine glasses when we asked if they had any. The bed was small, but very comfortable.  We would definitely stay here again!"
972878,45157995,2015-08-31,5098344,Megan,"I had a lovely stay here, and the bungalow is so cute! The location is central, very accessible, and in a great neighborhood. I'd highly recommend staying here. "
972878,45539680,2015-09-03,42330351,Andrew,"   Really good place to stay. Small, clean apartment, perfect for two people. Access to all of austin's attractions is excellent - if you enjoy being outside it's an easy walking loop from the house to zilker park, out and over the congress street bridge, up into town, and back to the house. Excellent location. Definitely worthwhile."
972878,46185244,2015-09-08,2622808,Thomas,"Allix and César were wonderful hosts! They were welcoming and accommodating. The apartment was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. Check-in was simple with the key-less entry. We found that the Johnson Creek Greenbelt, just down the street, was a convenient link to the Hike and Bike Trail and Zilker Park. "
972878,46931602,2015-09-14,41863512,Angela,The Bungalow was perfect for our trip. The location was easily accessible to all attractions and the hosts made sure the house was comfortable. A really great option for a couple traveling to Austin. 
972878,47989153,2015-09-22,41130858,Xiomara,Great first Austin experience and this place was a big reason why! My boyfriend and I wanted to get a nice place to stay that was close to Zilker Park and Downtown and this place was only minutes from both. It was very cute and comfy and perfect for the two of us. There's also a little back area which was a very nice surprise. Allix was a fantastic host and was very quick and responsive to any questions I had and made my first Air Bnb a great one! Definitely staying again on our next visit :)
972878,48546962,2015-09-27,41110376,Iliana,"Allix and César were very welcoming and accomodating. The location was central, and easily accessable to downtown/UT campus and surrounding areas.  It was a small, clean, tidy apartment perfect for 2, with the perfect Austin vibe. I would recommend this bungalow! "
972878,49038823,2015-09-30,43630588,Kenneth,"Allix and Cesar have an amazing place and were the best hosts to my parents. Allix and Cesar have been friends of mine for about a year, so when my parents were coming into town to visit, I knew exactly where I wanted them to stay. After staying at their bungalow my mom said the following: ""It was so nice to feel like you were in an actual home instead of just a hotel on the side of a highway. It was so nice to be so close to so many things in Austin without having to sit around in traffic, and when we came home, the fact that we were in a quiet neighborhood made my usual travel anxieties disappear."" Although my mom has yet to own a smartphone, her stay at Allix and Cesar's has her convinced that she never wants to use a hotel again. It was a great first Airbnb experience for them!"
972878,49614633,2015-10-05,6138158,Erika,"Great little place in an excellent part of town. Super convenient, super clean and easily accessible. Hosts were very unobtrusive as well as very helpful and attentive. Would absolutely come back. "
972878,50751553,2015-10-14,10947595,Shannon,"We absolutely loved staying at the Bungalow! It was exactly as pictured and Allix was super helpful - there was even cold water and a couple of beers in the fridge when we arrived. My husband loved the coffee press too. The bungalow is quirky and lovely and in a great location - we even walked home from the ACL festival in Zilker park as it was just too crazy to get a cab or Uber! 

I felt like we had a LOT of questions, but Allix was always prompt in replying and we really loved her recommendations. As an added bonus, since we booked a week-long stay, Allix and Cesar let us borrow their bikes and we had an awesome time seeing Austin by bike! (use (website hidden) for the best bike routes)

I would highly recommend staying at the Bungalow for a true Austin experience!
"
972878,51127367,2015-10-18,41494277,Nicole,"The host was great at giving details of our stay long before the booked date. They had coffee available and even two local craft beers in the fridge waiting for us, along with some water:-) we had bikes available for use from the host which we were able to take out and ride through the city. The bungalow is in a fantastic location- only minutes to downtown. We had a lovely time at this bungalow. Thank you!!"
972878,51662484,2015-10-22,46553492,Jon,Such a lovely room and location! We would stay here again in an instant!

972878,52438303,2015-10-29,45234499,Rebecca,"Had a great time at Allix's place. The neighborhood felt very safe and the place was clean and cozy. Looked as described and a great location, close to most everything. Only note was that the shower was a bit temperamental, so be patient with it! But regardless, I would recommend this AirBnB. Thanks for a great stay! "
972878,52784891,2015-11-01,4338459,Maggie,"I loved staying at Allix's home during my visit to Austin. During my stay, I found the home really comfy for two, and an excellent location for exploring the city of Austin. Downtown is close by, and nearly everything was no more than 10-15 mins away (by car). I really appreciated how clean everything was and how easy the directions were to get there!"
972878,53209713,2015-11-06,409761,Rosh,This was an AWESOME place to stay! i hope to stay here next time! ;) 
3853307,32053409,2015-05-13,28636079,Mwarty,Charming house indeed. Great location with some yummy places to eat within walking distance. Eric was a great host kept me well informed and provided a great guide on places to go. 
3853307,33956025,2015-06-02,6342079,Andrew,"Eric's house was fantastic and worked our perfectly for our crew of 3 people during our trip performing restoration at the Texas State Cemetery.  It was clean, spacious, and comfortable and was a welcome retreat after our long days working in the Texas heat.  I ended up having another booking falling through last minute but Eric was immediately responsive to my request and made everything as easy and hassle-free as possible.  This house is located in a hip spot and is close to a lot of great bars, restaurants, etc ( I recommend Hillside Farmacy for one of the best dinners I've ever had and Quickie Pickie if you're into a nice selection of craft beers).  I can't recommend this house enough and encourage you to book!  "
3853307,35848049,2015-06-22,18289941,Amy,"Loved this place! Eric's house was in the perfect location and looked just like the photos. Eric was easy to communicate with and answered any questions promptly. The beds were firm and comfortable and we enjoyed using the Roku in the bedroom at night. We felt comfortable in the neighborhood and felt at home in the house. We would love to stay here again. Thank you, Eric! "
3853307,47673438,2015-09-21,38172272,Kristin,"My friends and I loved staying in this cute little house. The location of the rental is very close to downtown austin, 6th street, and south congress. The rental was clean and we were provided with all of the basics to stay there. Before our arrival the host Eric provided us with a great list of things to do; as well as helped us out with more suggestions during our stay when some of our plans fell through. He also checked I with me about the place in order to make sure we were happy and made himself available in case anything went wrong (which nothing did). We would definitely stay here again. "
3853307,52076647,2015-10-26,43880460,Joshua,The home was great. It was close to everything we needed and very comfortable. Eric was a great host and I would recommend this property and any other properties Eric manages.
6289396,35858094,2015-06-22,21122465,Sarig,"Very nice and quite place.
Very cool people, Jenny is very gentle, with a large smile, the house is clean and the AC efficient. 
I will probably come back while I will be back to Austin.

6289396,40646529,2015-08-01,26168443,Nati,"It was great! Great neighborhood, very convenient location! "
6289396,41860107,2015-08-09,39460548,Thomas,"Jenny (and her boyfriend Danny) was a great host, very friendly and welcoming. She was also great at responding to messages. The listing was nice and though the room was adjacent to Jenny and Danny's, there were no noise problems whatsoever. The street has a very suburban feel, both safe and quiet, but is only two minutes walk away from south congress and south first streets, which both have a lot of great things to do in the day and at night. It was also really close to downtown Austin. Overall a great place to stay with great hosts!"
6289396,50831666,2015-10-15,13613457,Daniel,Both Jenny and her boy friend Danny are extremely friendly and easy going hosts. I can definitely recommend staying at their perfectly located place.
6289396,51457433,2015-10-20,13709085,(email hidden),"Jenny was a great host who helped us check in easily and gave us great advice about where to go. Great location, in SoCo near great restaurants and bars. Try Torchy's Tacos, so so good"
6289396,52242227,2015-10-27,39400746,Yaroslaw (Yarko),"Jenny is a terrific hostess who makes you feel welcome and safe. She also has good local knowledge of places to check-out. The location is in a great part of town with easy walking access to the shops and restaurants of SouthCongress, and nearby city bike rental stations as well. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but there's plenty of life going on just a few blocks away. The small room is located right next to the hosts room and best suited to those who really just need a place to sleep rather than hang out for any extended period of time. "
7805994,44251348,2015-08-24,41908165,Hope,Very spacious for a one bedroom. Charming decour. Outdoor surroundings were beautiful.
7365867,42075817,2015-08-10,36376465,Jonathan,"Conor was a great host and made everything very simple and easy to access during my stay in Austin. Whenever I make a trip back to Austin I hope that he'll have me back. He's a great tour guide, host, and master of ceremonies. If you're looking for the total Austin experience there isn't a better place to stay. I recommend his place to anyone that plans on making a quick or extended stay!"
7365867,48480714,2015-09-26,44305274,Tyheem,Conor was a great host and had a great time saying at is very unique place. It was a really fun experience!
7365867,49620469,2015-10-05,38130740,Matt,"I had a lot of fun staying at the Texas Homstead Experience! Conor was a great host, with plenty of local knowledge. Don't miss a chance to jam with him or head out for a couple of drinks!

I was in town for Austin City Limits and met a lot of great people staying there. The location is a little removed, but the bus stop on the same street will ensure you'll get anywhere you needed to go. The house itself had great facilities and a lot of personality about it which I appreciated. Would recommend this place to my friends."
7365867,50473964,2015-10-12,32106527,Kiri,"My son stayed at Conor's place for 3 nights while in Austin for a music festival. He had a great time, made friends with other travellers & said Conor was a great host. Thanks! "
7365867,51079465,2015-10-17,30225510,Jeff,Host greeted me when I arrived. Checked on me earlier in the day to confirm my arrival. Gave me a tour. Gave me a map of the area.  Warm and friendly. Clean. 
7365867,51843593,2015-10-24,46476099,Jonathan,"I enjoyed my time here. Conor was a great host, gave me good advice on things to do in town. The room was nice, clean and quiet. Met some cool people from all over. It was a good experience and I would recommend it to anyone."
84286,10955951,2014-03-15,11310291,Nicole,"I came down to Austin looking for a place off the beaten path that was quiet, but accessible to downtown. Emily and Stephen's home was that and more. They were wonderful hosts, and made our stay in Austin so much better than it would have been anywhere else. The room was comfortable and private, just as pictured. Next time I'm in town, I know where to stay :)"
84286,11430481,2014-04-02,2945083,Pam,"I picked Emily's place because it bordered the Stephenson nature preserve and was close to my daughter's home, who I was visiting for a week.  I could walk to her house via the trails in the preserve.  Their home was quiet and inviting.  Her husband, Stephen, prepared  breakfast for me everyday, sometimes with eggs from their adorable chickens! Their dogs, Bronco and Captain were very friendly but not bothersome. Emily provided a bus pass and schedule, which I did not use, but was available. Both Emily and Stephen were friendly and very accommodating hosts! I had a peaceful stay with numerous walks and yoga in the woods!"
84286,11871394,2014-04-17,13642710,Bryan,"I had never met Stephen and Emily before my visit, but from the moment I arrived they treated me like an old friend. I had a great time hanging out with them and their dogs.

Their home is welcoming and comfortable, with hand-crafted furniture and floorboards. Their well-developed taste for good food and good beer was very much appreciated, as was their willingness to share it with me. They're genuinely good people.

One of my main reasons for choosing their place was its close proximity to the nature preserve. That turned out to be a great decision. I spent much of a day walking through the 160 acre woodlands, which I found to be peaceful, quiet, and refreshing.

Stephen and Emily's home is close enough for easy access to downtown Austin, while being far enough removed that their chickens fit right in. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates that sort of location."
84286,13168060,2014-05-20,15446408,Sue,"Lovely couple in a quiet yet convenient neighborhood.  Emily and Steven were great to chat with and served us a wonderful breakfast each morning.  
"
84286,13461729,2014-05-27,15867590,Kyle And Courtney,"Wow! My husband and I stayed with Emily and Stephen for a 2 night weekend trip to Austin and we have nothing but great things to say about them! They accepted us extremely last minute as our trip was kind of impromptu (we were already in Austin when they offered their place) but Emily was very cheerful and ready to have us. We actually beat her home and she simply gave us the code for their keyless entry and we were able to get settled right away. Upon meeting them we chatted a bit before they invited us to a going-away party for some of their co-worker friends. It was a Luau theme as the friends were moving to Hawaii. Their friends were incredibly nice and welcoming. It was very fun to get out and enjoy other people too. Stephen cooked us breakfast both mornings which was completely unexpected but surely appreciated! The first morning we found ourselves sitting at their kitchen table for several hours just chatting, drinking coffee, trying different beers and then Stephen making a Capri salad to snack on. They are a very easy going and fun couple and we enjoyed them tremendously. Even though we had kind of our own plans to explore Austin, it was great to spend some time with local people as well. This was very cool of Emily and Stephen as they were not expecting us for the weekend yet they were still available to be great hosts!
Their house is very precious! They are currently undergoing a few projects but it is not enough to hardly notice. The have 2 dogs, a sweet little kitten and 1 chicken and they were all great company as well- very well trained. The room we stayed in was the ""Brew Room"" and it was very quaint and spacious. The bathroom is used for both rooms they rent out but we were able to have it to ourselves as we were the only ones this particular weekend. It was nice and spacious as well-great shower head for great showers! They have a tree swing out front which was fun to enjoy and a handmade brick oven in the backyard to cook in.
They are a tad further from downtown than we would have liked but it really was only about 12-13 minutes to their house which is a straight shot down loop 1. They do live right next to a preserve that we wish we got the opportunity to visit- next time for sure.  
We would HIGHLY recommend Emily and Stephen for anyone visiting Austin as they will get the absolute best hospitality, friendly and good conversation and a cozy place to stay! 
Thank you, Emily and Stephen! :)"

84286,15110549,2014-07-02,575414,Kristin,Emily & Stephen were wonderful. They were very accommodating at the last minute and gave a very fair price. They have a lovely home and are very nice people. Highly recommend staying here! 
84286,15475780,2014-07-09,8029600,Jamie,"Me and my husband just finished our stay with Emily & Stephen and couldn't speak more highly about it. Emily was super responsive in getting back to us with an extremely last minute reservation. Their home is so welcoming and it's in a wonderful, peaceful location. Emily offered breakfast every morning we were there, including delicious French pressed coffee, homemade bread, and local honey (with the staples, as well). This was our first experience in renting a room and not an entire apartment, so my husband and I were hesitant that it would be awkward -- it definitely wasn't. Emily and her husband, along with their kitten and two dogs, were terrific hosts. We highly, highly recommend them if you're staying in Austin. "
84286,16437542,2014-07-27,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Emily, Stephen, Captain, Bronco and Pumpkin were all an absolute delight to stay with. The latter 3 are their two adorable dogs and their hysterical cat, who were very welcoming from day one and great company. We are animal lovers but if that's not your thing, they are all well behaved and will leave you be as well! Emily and Stephen are also great company:) we ended each night chatting and sharing a couple of beers before bed. The house itself is in a great location, just outside of the major Austin congestion but close enough that it will take you less than 10 minutes to get most places. We had a great room with a nice bathroom and it really felt like we had our 'own space'. If you are interested in staying in a very cool home with wonderful people, Emily and Stephen's is the way to go! One of our favorite Airbnb experiences all around."
84286,17308317,2014-08-10,17719253,Amanda,"I just had the pleasure of staying in Emily and Stephen's ""Brew Room"" for two nights and had a wonderful experience. I was only in town briefly, but they made me feel welcome and at ease recommending neat places to visit and eat at. They offered a yummy breakfast including tea or coffee, Emily's own homemade bread and jams, eggs, and other goodies. I got my animal fix as well with their two friendly and well behaved dogs and feisty kitten. I greatly enjoyed hanging out and conversing with Emily and Stephen in the evenings and had plenty of quiet time in my room when I needed it. I enjoyed the quiet residential neighborhood, which was a quick drive to everywhere I needed to be in South Austin and the airport. I only wish I had some extra time to explore the nature preserve behind their home. This was my first airbnb experience, and I am happy to say a great one. Emily was prompt to respond to and accept my stay request and was quick to respond to my questions via text message before I arrived and during my stay. I would highly recommend Emily and Stephen for your Austin stay - they are charming hosts and will make you feel right at home! "
84286,20810653,2014-10-06,14360057,Jason,"Emily and Steve were great!  I couldn't have asked for better hosts.  Their pets were funny and very well behaved, and my living quarters were clean and welcoming.  Good beverages, good food, good conversation, good times, and good company!"
84286,21133562,2014-10-12,19469745,Kyley,"Emily and Stephen were incredibly warm and welcoming and the room could not be cuter! Their home is adorable (and conveniently located!) and we were made to feel at home throughout our visit. From suggestions for local restaurants and bars to delicious home-cooked breakfast tacos, our visit was wonderful as a result of Emily and Stephen's hospitality. We highly recommend them to anyone visiting the Austin area!"
84286,21455285,2014-10-17,22585209,Joel,"Hosts were great. It was a great stay. Bed was a little hard but that is just my preference. As others have mentioned pumpkin the kitten is fantastically hilarious. Would recommend staying even based solely on pumpkin. 

The two dogs were very friendly too. Very happy with our experience."
84286,21562958,2014-10-19,21424055,Austin,"Incredibly welcoming hosts existing in a creative, human, bohemian, artistic and thoughtful persons' vibe."
84286,22878485,2014-11-16,16595845,Shannon,"One of the best airbnb experiences we've had! We made our reservation at the last minute and Emily was very accommodating. We immediately felt comfortable in their home. We loved that we could do laundry while having a cup of coffee. We absolutely loved their two dogs and hilarious cat, Pumpkin. Also, being from Colorado, we loved the CO-beer themed room! We would certainly suggest staying with Emily & Stephen! Super nice people! "
84286,27708007,2015-03-09,1319963,Tania,"Emily and Stephen were beyond welcoming and helpful.  My husband and I made a very last minute work trip to Austin and booked the same day we arrived. They made us feel right at home and the room was perfect.  It is clean, comfortable, and spacious. 
Bathe dogs were well behaved and great but Pumpkin (the cat) was our favorite! 
Emily chatted with us over breakfast, went beyond all expectations and made us grits and tea for breakfast and just having a relaxed conversation with her made us feel like old friends. Thank you so much! "
84286,28129360,2015-03-18,3619122,Vivek,Both Emily & Stephen were super welcoming in their home and their dogs and cat are very friendly. Would love to stay over again!

84286,28336235,2015-03-22,28658946,Brian,"Emily and Steven have a lovely home in a nice neighborhood in S. Austin. The house and room matched the pictures perfectly; it was simple, clean, and cozy. Both hosts were welcoming and easy-going, and setting up the logistics was very easy with Emily. 

Their dogs and cat are all very friendly and fun. This was a nice, easy stay for us. The drive into downtown is straightforward and takes 15-20 minutes. "
84286,28503342,2015-03-24,28991576,Whitney,Everything was great! Would stay here again in the future.
84286,28769097,2015-03-29,29647447,Clara,"Emily and Stephen were very gracious hosts. The home was located in a very lovely neighborhood, not too far away from all the fun Austin things I love to do. 
The ""welcome committee"" (the famous Pumpkin, Bronco and Charlie) were such a joy to be around and were also very gracious! 
I loved the make your own breakfast concept, it definitely adds to the homey feel of being there (and I definitely enjoyed the delicious ingredients they procure- down to the tortillas!).  Would definitely recommend this place and will love to book again next time I'm in ATX!"
84286,30646413,2015-04-25,31416429,Ruben,"Emily and Stephen were wonderful hosts. We were in Austin for my girlfriend's birthday, and they welcomed us with a fresh batch of birthday beignets! Their hen, Proud Mary, provided eggs for breakfast.  Their furry companions -- 2 dogs and a young cat -- were very friendly as well. We ventured out into the nature preserve which borders the neighborhood and took a peaceful walk/nap out there. The neighborhood is a quiet, pet-friendly area -- great for unwinding after your downtown activities. The room was tidy and comfortable. We would definitely stay with Emily and Stephen again."
84286,30750130,2015-04-26,23270775,Thomas,"Host was great! Gave a good review for a place to grab dinner and a beer. Would recommend if you just need somewhere quick to sleep in Austin. Its about a ~18 dollar uber to downtown, but for us was not an issue. Would highly recommend! "
84286,31684328,2015-05-08,31405849,Matt,"Despite issues with the keypad and not being able to get in contact with the host initially, we eventually made it in and Emily and her husband (along with the furry members of the family) were very nice and welcoming. They were very kind in refunding our money for the inconvenience."
84286,31857819,2015-05-10,32781952,Charles,"A wonderfully stress free experience. We were made very welcome, and everything was very clean and lovely. No complaints! Would definitely stay there again. Very convenient, very quiet, just a perfect place to spend the night! "

84286,33167627,2015-05-25,31522581,Richard,"Emily was such a great host and made us feel right at home during our two-day stay. The room was just as beautiful as the pictures that were posted and the neighborhood is in a great location. I'd highly recommend staying here. Thanks, Emily! "
84286,33621070,2015-05-30,29647447,Clara,"This is my second time staying with Emily and I must say that it truly does feel like being at home! I love the cozy feel of the house and the love and attention the pets have for their guests. The self-serve breakfast is such a great treat, it just adds to the ""at home"" feel. Her and Stephen are both very gracious and kind, i look forward to seeing them again!"
84286,34266469,2015-06-06,34477257,Symphanie,"My husband and I had the pleasure of staying with Emily and Stephen during a last minute trip to Austin. We stayed in their lovely ""brew room"" and had access to a private bathroom. Both the room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. We liked how we were able to come and go conveniently as we pleased. We would both definitely stay again. Loved the friendly pets!"
84286,35054542,2015-06-14,29159737,Cynthia,"Absolutely will stay with them again! The whole gang (pets included!) were friendly and welcoming considering we booked on short notice. The house is quiet and comfortable in nice neighborhood, and a short drive from many downtown spots. We got around easily with ride shares and enjoyed Emily & Stephen's restaurant suggestions. "
84286,36075072,2015-06-24,36456189,Matt,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was a really positive one. Emily and her husband were really great. The room was comfortable and the house overall felt very warm and inviting. They have a handful of pets (dogs and cats) that are all of a very sweet temperament. 
The nature preserve is only about two houses down from them and I went on an excellent run through the area. Saw a six point buck and a handful of doe during my run. I was really pleasant.
Will definitely stay there again next time I'm in the Austin area."
84286,37126344,2015-07-04,35205756,Rebecca,This was mine & my boyfriends first airbnb experience and it's was GREAT! Emily and her husband were super friendly and made us feel extremely at home! My boyfriend got to enjoy breakfast while I slept in a little! I loved the vibe there & the drive to downtown Austin was quick and easy! 
84286,37374248,2015-07-06,35517137,Kaylie,Emily and her husband were great! The room was really nice and her pets were super sweet. This was a great place to stay all around. Thanks again Emily!
84286,40699350,2015-08-01,6131516,Colette,Emily and Steven are lovely friendly hosts and really laid back. They have been so kind and generous to me during my stay. The dogs are friendly and the little cat is such a funny thing :-). I'm  looking forward  to my next stay.

84286,42957969,2015-08-16,40074135,Vesna,"We had a great time staying with Emily and Steve. Their home was pleasant and clean and exactly as described. Emily and Steve were welcoming and easy going. They offer complimentary breakfast, and there were water and cookies in our room too. Their pets are as lovely as other reviewers have mentioned; I was especially in love with the mellow and friendly dogs, that are incredibly used to guests. Emily and Steve were knowledgeable about the nearby places to visit and restaurants. It is a quiet and residential neighborhood. "
84286,44086377,2015-08-23,2869472,Lupe,"The neighborhood is south of Austin but a quick drive from downtown. Emily's street is quiet and peaceful. There were several shopping centers nearby, if you need anything. Emily communicated quickly and the pictures were accurate. Emily and her husband are kind hosts who made us feel welcome. Their home is clean and quiet. We will visit again. "
84286,44876969,2015-08-29,25820580,Claire,"Emily and Steve were super great hosts! They offered us drinks, fruit, breakfast, and are great to chat with. They have two friendly dogs and a cat. The house has a lot of neat and artistic decorations. The bed is big and comfy. Bathroom is nice and clean. Overall a great experience! "
84286,46040157,2015-09-07,21380740,Caitlin,"Emily's house was so cute! The decoration was interesting and the back yard was a nice evening retreat. The neighborhood was quiet and a short drive from the center. I bet the nature reserve would have been fun to explore, but the bed was so comfortable that we overslept every day! Thanks for having us!"
84286,46834002,2015-09-13,29219150,Kangyi,Emily and her husband gave us a warm welcome and so did her dogs and cats. The house is cute and many homemade decorations. It was really a good stay.
84286,47827742,2015-09-21,43692930,Sean,Emily was great! Pets were amazingly friendly. It's located in a great part of Austin as well! 
84286,50118363,2015-10-09,244063,Carl,"Very good communication, easy instructions to enter the place in absence of owners. Host is affable, friendly and helpful, willingly sharing run of house and kitchen. Lovely friendly animals: two big dogs, cat and chicken (whom we did not meet...next time!). Very nice experience; highly recommend. "
84286,50445196,2015-10-12,39813909,Krystal,"I found Emily and Stephen to be very friendly hosts. They were very sweet to my friend and I, and extremely generous with their home. We really lucked out!"
84286,51876133,2015-10-24,26410372,Kristin,"Emily and her husband were kind enough to take my husband in the day of my request! Communication was outstanding. Emily responded immediately and answered all questions. She also helped educate my husband on the area and Austin facts. My husband was so pleased with the comfort of the bed he slept in for the first time in weeks! We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, inviting host. "
84286,51929045,2015-10-25,44658301,Jaime,"The house room we stayed in was very nice and clean. Emily greeted us at the door and both dogs who are very friendly  (in the best way possible). We stayed two nights and had no problems. The house is located in a very nice area. Overall we really liked the home and would recommend it. It is a good place to spend a few nights, if you are staying in Austin."
714922,2866665,2012-11-12,3147263,Crystal,"We had a wonderful stay in the treehouse.  It's in a quiet little neighborhood that was really convenient to downtown and to So Co area.  Susan was such a gracious host and she even let us borrow her own iron because my husband feels he needs to iron EVERYTHING! LOL

The guest house is actually two separate rooms on the 1st and 2nd floor, but they share a bathroom.  Loved it Loved it Loved it.  We will definately be staying again next time we are in Austin."
714922,2892498,2012-11-15,4099251,Susan,"My stay at the Galindo Treetop Guesthouse was my first experience with Airbnb - I couldn't be more pleased!  The Treetop Guesthouse is really a wonderful, charming house.  I was traveling alone, but this place would also be great for one or two couples or a family.  

The house is so clean and cute with a ton of space.  It had everything I needed - a place to sleep, a place to work, wifi, TV, coffee, microwave, refrigerator.  And the location is great - so centrally located with so much nearby - plenty of food and entertainment within walking distance or just a few minute drive.

Susan, the hostess, was very helpful and accommodating.  She does a great job of making sure her guests feel at home and have everything they need.  I won't hesitate to stay here again."
714922,3035658,2012-12-06,1347024,Rick,"Fabulous accomodations, great location, wonderful host.

Highly recommended."
714922,3196761,2012-12-31,2686707,Rita,"Susan's guesthouse is charming, spacious, impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and has all the amenities of a hotel and more.  She left snacks and drinks in the refrigerator, miscellaneous toiletries in case we forgot any, and a detailed guide to Austin that we consulted for all the best restaurants and places to go.  She was available to answer questions and she even gave us a ride to our event one night.  You could not ask for a more attentive host or a more comfortable place to stay, it felt like home.  Thank you very much Susan, we had a great time!"
714922,3401924,2013-01-23,4254316,Alina,"The Treetop Guesthouse far exceeded our expectations. The place was immaculate and Susan was kind enough to stock the mini fridges with some drinks and snacks, as well as leaving chocolates on the end tables next to the beds. It was better than staying at a 5 star hotel. There is no doubt that we will absolutely be staying here next time we find ourselves in Austin. You can't beat the location and Susan even left a booklet of suggestions - best places to eat, things to see and what to do. Awesome experience. Thanks again for everything!"
714922,3473596,2013-02-04,4723959,Jake,"The bar has been raised quite high in quality, organization and detail by Susan and Treetop Guesthouse. 

There were notes and cards detailing anything and everything I would need. The whole place was extremely clean and put together. The fridges were filled with drinks and yogurt. Coffee and tea were also provided, the coffee was AMAZING.

There were plenty of clean and folded/rolled bath towels; Also the shower was great size with shampoos to use!

The upstairs has a very comfortable king size bed, I haven't slept this good in a long time. To top it all off there is a balcony that I sat and drank my amazing coffee on.

If I'm ever heading back to Austin, I will be staying at the Treetop Guesthouse!"
714922,3531025,2013-02-12,1791976,Trung,"Susan was a fantastic host, all around I had a great weekend here. Communication was excellent and so easy. My coworker and I were driving from Chicago and needed a place with last minute notice. Susan made it so simple and was incredibly informative to many of the areas without being too overwhelming, knowing we were only there the weekend. With so much to do within walking distance we had seen so much in just a weekend. The house was spotless and even had beers in both fridges to welcome you. Unbelievably accommodating and kind, it was such a pleasure to stay at Susan's guest house."
714922,3584326,2013-02-19,4022757,Christina,"Susan and Diane were great hosts! We arrived with a few beers in the fridge to cool us down and read over the restaurant/site recommendations they had put together. The guesthouse was wonderful; it was clean, cozy, and nicely located in South Austin. I would definitely stay again."
714922,3619368,2013-02-26,4741821,Katy,"We had a great stay at the South Central Treetop Guesthouse!

The house is beautiful and spacious. Great for friends traveling together or for a family or two couples.

We loved the proximity to downtown and the South Congress area. It was easy to get to everything you'd like to see while in Austin.

Susan met us when we arrived a little late for our stay, and was so sweet. She left soda, water, and even a few Lone Stars in the fridges. The beds were very comfortable, and we were able to stay cool/warm with our own thermostat.

If you're looking for a great place in Austin, stay at the Treetop Guesthouse - I certainly plan to return in the future!"
714922,3780146,2013-03-14,4710875,Greg,Outstanding accommodation and host. Clean and modern throughout. Many thanks to Susan for looking after us! The guesthouse is ~ 5 min walk to nearest bus stop (route 10) and $1 gets you into central Austin. Taxi's are readily available (~$10 one way). Highly recommend.  
714922,3980306,2013-04-01,4008942,Niki,"Sadly, we were not able to take our vacation due to illness in my boyfriend's family.  I made the attempt on multiple occasions to reach out and try to resolve a refund or credit with this host, to no avail.  I also made multiple attempts to resolve with airbnb and was told I would have to notify the host directly for her to lift her ""strict"" cancellation policy.  (Which she did not)  I have now gone back and forth with both for a month with no resolution. It was very disappointing to be out nearly $400 due to an extenuating circumstance that could not be helped.  I understand hosts need to keep their rentals occupied, but I notified her directly several days before of the situation.  At the time I thought she was genuinely concerned, but I was wrong.  I feel like anyone with a conscious or kids would have been kind enough to at least offer to reschedule our dates.  She was booked nearly the entire month, so I don't feel like it was hitting her to hard in the pocket book...Disappointed and frustrated."
714922,4123659,2013-04-12,1780417,Lesley,"The Treetops Guesthouse was perfect for us. It is beautifully decorated throughout, clean and comfortable and very spacious. The balcony was lovely. There were drinks and breakfast items in the fridge on our arrival which we most appreciated. I would absolutely recommend staying here when in Austin. Susan and Diane are lovely people, we could not have asked for more."
714922,4359903,2013-04-30,5279957,Andrea,"We had such a fantastic time in Austin staying at the South Central Treetop Guesthouse! Susan was very communicative prior to our trip, letting us know about all the policies, providing directions, and updating us on check-in. She was so warm and welcoming when she greeted us at the house. She showed us her FABULOUS place, including all the unexpected amenities that she included (shower gels and shampoo, coffee and tea, and so on). We were just thrilled! The beds were SO comfortable, the heating/cooling system was just right. Our stay could not have been more comfortable--it felt like being at home! If we are ever in Austin again we will DEFINITELY come back here, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know who heads that direction for a trip. Thank you, Susan!!"
714922,4502809,2013-05-09,959047,Kathy,"This is truly a gem.  Extremely comfortable for either two couples, one couple or two singles.  Susan is extremely responsive to every need you have and pays lots of attention to logistics.  The guesthouse is very pretty -- exactly like the photos but better.  Feels more like an upscale B and B (no breakfast but lots of other stuff) than a house for rent. Luxurious and comfortable beds. Extremely clean.. Upstairs has a wonderful balcony and birds abound. Conveniently located, but in a neighborhood that is quiet and interesting. Susan also sought feedback on how to make this experience even better which was very sweet and shows how much she cares about her guests. Definitely my go-to place when I stay in Austin."
714922,4575334,2013-05-13,2180743,Justin,"Outstanding stay.  Very comfortable, great location.  Susan was wonderful."
714922,5029862,2013-06-08,5470228,Michael,"I was just coming to town to visit friends and I was sick of hotels. I searched for an entire building, 2 beds, for 2 guests; this was right around the top of the list and the price is very reasonable for what you get. Susan has such a nice place with open spaces inside and out. She really cares and has everything you could need in a bnb. This was my first stay with airbnb and it was fantastic. If you were thinking of another place and this one is open, you know what to do. Just look at the pictures, they say it all. "
714922,5149973,2013-06-15,6568207,Steve,Susan was a fantastic host.  She was very knowledgable about the area and didn't hesitate to offer us advice about anything we were looking to do in Austin.  The treehouse is homey and had everything we needed.  We had a great stay and hope to return!
714922,5194774,2013-06-17,4291271,Meera,"We had a great stay at Susan's house (2 couples).  Great location, quiet neighborhood, super convenient to everything.  Spotlessly clean, nice complimentary drinks/snacks and toiletries.  Lots of towels available.  Would definitely stay again if we get the chance.  "
714922,5699859,2013-07-12,4775631,Carol,"I was in town for a convention, and this was such a relaxing place to go after a long day of standing.  
If you've never been to Austin, this is a great location.  Susan will also provide you with tried and true local restaurants, bars and area sight seeing. This is very close to downtown and even closer to SoCo.    
If you do know Austin, you KNOW this is a great location!    The guesthouse is beautiful and comfortable--the Airbnb photos are great, but the being there is better!  She even had fresh flowers in each room!  I hope to stay here again."
714922,6079837,2013-07-29,5773674,Bradford,"My wife had to be in Austin for a Figure competition.  This involves spray tanning, oil, etc.  Susan was  bit worried about her white sheets, but we assured her my wife would bring all her own towels and dark sheets.  Susan actually got her old sheets out and put them on the bed for my wife.  The location was great and it was near of ton of great food places.   Clean, nice, quiet, exactly as advertised.  I look forward to checking it out myself next time I go to Austin."
714922,7184773,2013-09-09,8617131,Ramon,Susan is a gracious host and the Treetop Guesthouse made the weekend an absolute joy!!
714922,7522749,2013-09-23,8555415,Jo,"The Treetop Guesthouse is  lovely, very clean, with plenty of space and amenities, excellent location and quiet.  Susan is very knowledgeable about Austin and had information on places to visit and restaurants  prepared and on the table when we arrived.  Great stay!  Recommend highly"
714922,7756090,2013-10-01,881460,Ruben,We have traveled to Austin several times and our time at the treetop has been by far the best stay.  It was clean and quite.  We really could not have asked for anything more.  Susan is a fantastic host. When ever we travel to Austin again we will be staying at the treetop of its available.
714922,8327858,2013-10-26,2354312,Nick,"Great time at Susan's Treetop Guesthouse. It was perfect for our needs. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a central location to explore Austin from.

"
714922,8447012,2013-10-31,268727,Liisa,"Susan's guesthouse proved to be the perfect spot for our too-short stay in Austin – even better than expected, in fact! The two-story addition to her home is lovely, clean, comfortable and totally inviting (loved unwinding on the little balcony). The location is great, esp if you have a car – an easy drive from downtown and close to SoCo, Barton Springs and tons of great restaurants. My husband and I stayed for five days in late October and couldn't recommend Susan's place more highly."
714922,8539080,2013-11-04,9493111,Sonya,"Susan is a wonderful host.  The Treetop is beautifully furnished and oh so comfy, and the location is excellent!  Susan had great suggestions and even looked up information for us.  We spent some time just chatting with her.  We will definitely return!"
714922,8656144,2013-11-11,8595012,Jonah,"Susan's guesthouse was great. She was extremely accommodating and communicative, the place was very clean and quite spacious, the location was great, and the beer, water, coffee and treats Susan left in the guesthouse were a nice touch. I recommend staying here to anyone looking for a nice, quiet place to stay that is still close to South Congress and lots of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores."
714922,8967751,2013-11-29,2179767,Oliver,"Susan was easy to communicate with, friendly and accommodating. Absolutely no complaints. The guest-house is a quiet, spacious place to stay. Very relaxing and centrally located too. Top marks!  "
714922,9020650,2013-12-02,3851503,Frani,"The Treetop Guest House is luxurious. The beds are super comfortable, the decor is lovely, and it is spacious. When we wanted to do things together there were these great sitting areas upstairs and downstairs, as well as on the upper deck....felt like we were sitting up in the trees with the birds. Then when we were needing space, it is designed to feel like two separate apartments, one upstairs and one downstairs. It is great to have that luxury...and having the mini kitchens both upstairs and downstairs gave us a chance to have coffee on our own in the morning. I really appreciated that. The entire place is light and feels clean, no clutter...just (website hidden) upstairs and downstairs was nice, and super easy way that they did private entry code and wifi code. The place was full of little gifts...both mini fridges had nice surprises, candy on the bed tables and the toiletry items were so nice that we went on amazon and ordered some for ourselves before we left.  The neighborhood is beautiful, super close to all that we wanted to do at zilker park, and downtown...everything minutes away. We even got good movie tips from Susan and Diane. Next time we come we plan to reserve tennis courts at the South Austin tennis club, that is so close it makes sense to walk rather than drive. The house was so pretty, the pictures just couldn't capture it on the website.... and the pictures were the reason we picked it. Plan to go back soona and stay in the Treetop."
714922,9522899,2014-01-01,9036450,Morgan,"We loved our stay at Susan's.  The location is centrally located and within walking distance of great restaurants, food truck parks & shops.  We could not have asked for a better place or host.  Susan was so thoughtful and with the smallest of details...suggestions for restaurants, landmarks, anything!  Our next visit and stay will be at Treetop.  "
714922,9617721,2014-01-03,1969691,Nina,"Susan and Diane were fantastic hosts. They really went above and beyond-- we arrived late on New Years Eve to Austin and Diane was kind enough to offer us a ride in order to make our dinner reservation on time and avoid tricky parking in Downtown Austin! 

The place is so clean and homey and has everything you could possible need. Snacks and drinks in the fridge, great shower, toiletries, TVs, comfortable beds. Walking distance to lots of great stuff. Quiet safe neighborhood. Really highly recommend it!"
714922,10903775,2014-03-12,3975771,Emil,"We stayed two colleagues with Susan for SXSW during 4 nights. Everything was perfect and so comfortable. After being picked up in the airport, we arrived at the great guesthouse that beats any hotel suite in town. Filled fridge with juice, water and local brew, coffee machines on both floors and even fresh muffins. Susan was a great host and the house was absolutely spotless. We loved staying there. We walked downtown a couple of days, or took the walk to South Congress and grabbed breakfast and then a couple of city bikes to go down town. If i'm going back to SXSW, Susans place is on the very top of my list. Emil  "
714922,10989706,2014-03-16,12705762,Cynthia,"This was the perfect first airbnb experience. The place was amazing. Everything was top of the line, and suited us so well, it felt like Susan must know us. Very comfortable, spacious, and convenient. I hope to make this my home-away-from-home whenever I visit Austin."
714922,11344653,2014-03-31,4723959,Jake,"This was my second stay at the Treetop Guesthouse, and once again it did not disappoint. The bed was very comfortable, the coffee was good, plenty of drinks in the fridge, and a wonderful host. I was able to meet Susan this time. Susan was able to point my wife and I to some good local spots. Will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin!"
714922,11967353,2014-04-20,5086750,Bonnie,"Susan has thought of everything! We enjoyed our stay in the treehouse so much: coffee on the deck in the morning, listening to the birds, the clean, spacious floor plan and the great, walkable neighborhood. We were greeted warmly and felt pampered. Definitely a wonderful choice for any length of stay in Austin!"
714922,12341441,2014-04-29,6635887,Giles,We could not have asked for a more perfect place to stay in Austin. Susan is a wonderful host and provided a fantastic base for exploring the city. We could not recommend the Treetop Guesthouse more highly.
714922,13069716,2014-05-19,316598,Franny,"We've stayed in several AirBnB homes in Austin, and we've enjoyed every one. That said, now that we've tried this place, we know where we'll be from here on out. This home was just right for our little family - clean, warm, and modern. Susan had many thoughtful touches, and the location was perfect: quiet but close to everything. "
714922,13379761,2014-05-26,12098213,Jess,"Truly a relaxing and refreshing stay- a home away from home! Susan is very responsive and organized, and greeted us upon arrival with great tips. The house is spacious and incredibly clean, and all the detailed and thoughtful touches made us feel very well taken care of! Tea on the upstairs oak-surrounded porch watching the birds bustle at the birdfeeder, relaxing to the sound of a summer rain, walking in the super-safe neighborhood to the local awesome cafes and shops... just a few of the fantastic memories we'll carry with us forever! Highly recommended. "
714922,13627017,2014-06-01,366404,Jasmine,"Our treetop guesthouse experience was fabulous!  It's a beautiful, very well appointed space with everything you need to be comfortable on vacation (or during temporary displacement as was our situation). Susan and Diane are thoughtful, friendly hosts who are available when/if you need them and give you plenty of space when you don't. The south Austin neighborhood can't be beat in terms of proximity to the best of old Austin as well as just the simple smiles and hellos you get walking down the street. I highly recommend the guesthouse for out-of-towners and locals alike!"
714922,15650776,2014-07-13,7299488,Andreas,"The apartment was well located in South Austin, fairly close to the cool sites on 1st street and South Congress. The apartment was very clean and airy. Susan and Diane were wonderful hosts who always replied to our questions quickly and made sure we had everything we needed. Their recommendations were on the spot and we didn't eat a single meal in Austin that wasn't superb. If I return to Austin, I would definitely try to stay here again! Very recommended!"
714922,18840368,2014-09-01,20281812,Qian,"Susan's house is great - sweet and clean, very easy to go to places of interests. This is a quality house, we liked it very much! And Susan is very nice - thank you so much!"
714922,21171767,2014-10-12,1213025,Melissa,Great location! Beautiful place..so comfortable. Susan was helpful and the place is perfect..
714922,22533957,2014-11-09,17156108,Vikram,"Definitely coming back to rent out Susan's space in Austin.  Loved the way the interiors were done. Extremely cosy, clean, great for 4 guests and  close to Zilker/Barton Springs! Susan had also stocked up the fridge with snacks/goodies which came in very handy.  Thanks for letting us use your wonderful space!"
714922,22831297,2014-11-16,21562438,Sarah,"House was beautiful! Host met us at the door, had rules and all questions answered on a sheet at the table. Local food was also listed. Everything was wonderful we had a great time.  Thank you"
714922,23087486,2014-11-22,1835118,Grant,"Susan was a wonderful host. Her place is conviently located and was very clean and comfortable. I felt right at home and would definitely stay again. Thanks so much, Susan!"
714922,23363759,2014-11-30,3851503,Frani,"Dear Travelers, The Treetop is perfect. Susan and Diane have a feel for detail and comfort. It is beautiful to the eye, and has been set up for comfort. The beds are super comfortable, the neighborhood is quiet and lovely to walk around in the evenings. There is a great tennis club a couple of blocks away and tons or restaurants  a few blocks away on Lamar. Barton Springs and Downtown Austin are close. Susan and Diane are warm, welcoming and available...it is set up so beautifully though that there is nothing to contact them for. Having visited Austin regularly, this is the best place to stay. "
714922,24786417,2015-01-02,15876397,Alex,"Susan was an amazing host - she greeted us with a clean house, a stocked fridge and recommendations for local restaurants and activities. There were even mints next to the bed and extra toiletries in case we forgot a toothbrush! She was very attentive, responding to texts with dinner recommendations and checking in to make sure our stay was going well. Overall she was warm, responsive, and helpful. The house was clean, comfortable and - thanks to Susan's thoughtful touches - made our visit to Austin even better. Plus it's in a great neighborhood - nearby some of the hippest and most fun streets in Austin. You'll love staying here! "
714922,25552262,2015-01-19,2378940,Amy,"Susan was an excellent host throughout the duration of the trip and even before we got there. She is super accessible - I never waited more than a couple hours for a response to an email or text! She is friendly, considerate, and very welcoming!

Now let's talk about the Treetop Guesthouse itself. It was AMAZING. We were more than thrilled when we got there and found that the pictures were accurate and even better than we had expected for an airbnb! It was clean, comfortable, and a great place for 2 twenty-something couples (there was a king bed upstairs, and a queen downstairs). I felt like I was in a lavish hotel. Susan goes above and beyond in this place - she left chocolates on the nightstands, had plenty of clean hand towels and body towels, had complimentary snacks (yogurt, water, beer, tea, granola bars) in the cabinet, had all bathroom toiletries ready for your use, and even had a basket of things you may have forgotten (deodorant, eye makeup remover, toothpaste) for free! The beds were also super comfy and there is lots of little details that make the place a wonderful vacationing spot. Big windows let the light in when the sun rises, plenty of mirrors to help you get ready, separate fridges and sinks for upstairs and downstairs, a fun spiral staircase, cool artwork, plenty of books, a cute balcony with chairs and a table outside. Austin can be cold in the wintertime but not to worry because the heating in the Treetop Guesthouse was excellent!

I would definitely recommend this place for anyone coming to visit Austin! It's a bit removed from the downtown of Austin, but you'll quickly realize that everything in Austin is only a 10-15 minute drive. Get a rental car and go exploring! Susan's is very close to the shops and restaurants on South Congress, and going out on 6th Street or Rainey Street for nightlife is about a 10 minute drive or cab ride away. A Lyft or Uber to those locations will be about $13-16 dollars. 

Thanks Susan!"
714922,27999361,2015-03-16,14035157,Kate,Excellent house and an INCREDIBLE host. So easy to get in-touch with and went above & beyond in being helpful. Wonderful in every way. 
714922,29120067,2015-04-04,14547358,Shawn,We had a great experience.  Susan was an awesome host.  The unit was perfectly clean and exactly as advertised.  I would highly recommend Susan and the Treetop Guesthouse!
714922,29843392,2015-04-13,28933181,Abigail,I didn't want to leave! Such wonderful hosts! The treehouse patio was so relaxing!
714922,30245005,2015-04-19,27178118,Sean,"Susan provided the best overall Airbnb experience for me and my wife.  The guesthouse is as pictured, and conveniently situated between South 1st and Congress.  Overall, I would strongly recommend."
714922,30620246,2015-04-25,27718625,Chad,Fantastic place!  Susan has set up her guest home in a way that makes for a relaxing stay. Would happily stay here again. 
714922,34323080,2015-06-07,1660848,Tom,"Our recent stay at Susan's lovely South Central Treehouse was perfect in many ways. 
The location is ideal with wonderful restaurants, coffeehouses, etc very nearby. I was also very pleased to find that it is within short walking distance to the Austin  Shambala Center. Susan has obviously given careful consideration to guest comfort as there we numerous amenities available. A wonderful selection of toiletries, luxurious towels , complimentary ground gourmet coffee, orange juice and yogurts are a sample of her generous offerings. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that both the upstairs master bedroom and downstairs bedroom had their own kitchenettes with mini fridge, coffee maker , glassware , bowls and utensils. We are most appreciative that Susan spent time looking for and locating items we had left. Conclusion: a beautiful and comfortable arrangement owned and managed by a most gracious host. We would most definitely consider Treetop for future trips.!
  "
714922,45954905,2015-09-07,4921001,Donald,Perfect house! Would give it infinite amount of stars if I could. Thank you Susan for a wonderful weekend.
714922,51139424,2015-10-18,4262844,Amy,"Susan's place is just fantastic.  It's on a street that's quiet but right near lots of action.  Very close to all of the spots on Lamar and South Congress!

The house was impeccably clean, and we really appreciated the little touches - tons of fresh towels, toiletries in case you forgot something, bottles of water, etc.  Even snacks!

Take your coffee on the 2nd floor balcony... lots of people, birds and squirrels to observe."
7824911,46057965,2015-09-07,34934950,David,"My friends and I had a wonderful time in Austin, Jonathan's place was clean, awesome, and was perfectly located by 6th street with food trucks and bars within walking distance. For being in such a great area it was quiet, clean, and comfortable. He was a great host providing us with clean towels and everything needed. I highly recommend staying at his place. We all thought about possibly moving to Austin"
7824911,46257284,2015-09-08,35798363,Courtney,"Jonathan's place was the ideal spot to stay while checking out Austin for the holiday. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the close location to all the best spots, while also having a cool and quiet place to stay for the night. Jonathan set us up with an easy and fun way to come and go by downloading the August app, so that we didn't have to check in too often. With little questions or comments, he was always quick to respond and very helpful. We look forward to staying here again the next time we're passing through Austin. "
7824911,47096672,2015-09-15,42995748,Julia,"Jonathan was a fantastic host. He was responsive and always willing to help with what we needed. His welcome packet was perfect to help us get acquainted with the area, and we loved his recommendations. We enjoyed the proximity to 6th Street/Downtown/great food and the adorable neighborhood. It was very clean with comfortable beds. We'd love to make a trip back!"
7824911,47324564,2015-09-17,1733694,Marty,"Jonathan was a fantastic host. It was really easy to arrange check in with him and the home was spotless. He provided absolutely everything we needed, including really helpful information about places to eat and drink in Austin. It was nice and cool in the home and the air con worked perfectly so we could escape the heat outside. And Jonathan was a lovely guy! He was quick to answer texts/emails in case we needed anything. The home is located in a quiet part of East Austin with easy access to plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants. Would highly recommend."
7824911,47995670,2015-09-22,16258836,Jessica,"Jonathon was an amazing host!! From the moment we booked out communication was excellent. I stayed there with three of my girlfriends for a bachelorette weekend.  There were very clear instructions on how to get to, and get into the house. Super easy!!! He sent a welcome e-mail with great suggestions for local places to eat and hear music :-) he even brought us a 6pack of a Local Austin Beer that we all liked!

The house is great!! 2 nice size bedrooms with very comfortable beds and really nice comfy sheets :-) the place looks nicely updated and very clean. There was an area  by the dining table that had the wifi password and other important information, along with a few local magazines for live music and great food! 

You can walk everywhere from Jonathons! We walked to 6th street everyday and strolled around the neighborhood and along the river :-) I'm only sad we couldn't stay longer! Thanks Jonathon "
7824911,48570185,2015-09-27,27476816,Doug,Decent quarters well situated to convention center. Jonathan covers all the bases. Good communication and I have no complaints.

7824911,49161429,2015-10-01,1975605,Alex,"Very comfortable stay!  Property/sheets/bathroom were all clean and tidy, and checkin was super easy.  

I'm always a bit nervous of whether what is advertised is what i'm getting.. but the property really was as comfortable and spacious as advertised, and definitely in an ideal location; my friend and I were able to walk to Franklin's and Rainey St with no problem, and were very close to 6th st and other neighborhoods to check out.  

Jon was very hospitable and responsive to our questions, and provided great information about the area, for whatever your interests may be.

This will definitely be a go-to stay location for me/friends next time I'm in town!"
7824911,50841638,2015-10-15,7519260,Kevin,"Jonathan was very hospitable. He gave us great recommendations of what to see, where to eat (I loved Juan in a Million!), and what to do in Austin. He even invited us to join his group for ACL! His place is extremely comfortable and is in a good location. Easy walks to Rainey St. and E. 6th. Thank you for a great stay!"
7824911,51450451,2015-10-20,23527952,Crepin,"Un grand merci à Jonathan.  Nous étions très bien reçu, le logement était comme décrit et le quartier résidentiel."
7824911,51786748,2015-10-24,21293487,Brian,"The place was perfect for our short trip.  It is a great location, walkable to a large majority of the city, and the home is still cozy and quiet.

Jonathan was a great host.  He stopped by on the first night and gave us some great recommendations based on what we wanted to see in the area.

I'd recommned to any of my friends going to Austin."
7824911,52221679,2015-10-27,2698681,Nikki,The house is in a great location and was extremely clean! Perfect for 4 guests with the bedrooms separate to the living space. Jonathan sent us plenty of recommendations which were very helpful! And the beers were an added bonus! Thanks again for having us! 
7824911,52640589,2015-10-31,16713568,Mary,"Jonathan was a very communicative and accommodating host, especially given that we had moving parts with guests arriving at different times. The place is tidy and comfortable for 4, and you can walk to Rainey and East Sixth. This is more of a duplex set up, so keep that in mind if you are looking for more privacy. "
5217975,28412641,2015-03-23,28344185,Delio,Jenifer was great! Very friendly and attentive.  The property is large- all 9 guests had a great experience.  Will use again!
8540885,50545425,2015-10-12,37679152,Alex,"What an amazing house! Jennifer was so welcoming and made everyone feel right at home. She provided us with great directions and housing information well in advance that made our stay that much easier. With 5 beds, a large pool, and only a few miles from downtown, there really is no better place for a large group. The popular favorite among the group was the amazing views from around the neighborhood. I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to enjoy Austin in luxury."
8540885,51937766,2015-10-25,44877719,Patrick,"One of my favorite houses ever! A beautiful kitchen, spacious living room, and an awesome pool area make this the perfect house for a weekend of fun in Austin, TX. Both the kitchen and the living room had plenty of seating and the house has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, making this the perfect place for a large group like ours. 

Jennifer was the best host from the time we made the reservation to the minute we left. Anytime I had a question she responded right away. She left clear and precise instructions about any question you could ever have about the house and even gave us a few tips on some hot spots around town.

I would absolutely recommend this house to anyone! It's a great place to get away with friends or family and Jennifer is a wonderful host to work with! "
4033661,21880733,2014-10-26,21055677,Lisa,"This little home was perfect for a quiet getaway. Charming, quiet and located near amenities, but felt very ""country""....starting with the small deer wandering along the ditches as we pulled up. This was my first airbnb experience, and I already want to plan a trip back!"
4033661,22303630,2014-11-03,21566107,David,The Blue House was better than we imagined.  It is extremely clean and more spacious than the photos suggest.  Mark was a very gracious host who's hospitality was bar none.  The whole experience really made for the perfect long weekend.  I can't say enough good things about our stay and I would definite rent from him again when traveling to the Austin area.  Perfect.
4033661,28256829,2015-03-21,15601660,Kyra,Mark and his family were out of town during my week long stay but everything was perfect. The Blue House is located in the hills west of Austin on a dead end road in a lovely and peaceful setting. It was wonderful to wake up in the mornings and enjoy a cup of coffee on one of the 2 porches and listen to the birdsong. Though it had the feel of being in the country it was less than 20 minutes away from shopping and restaurants. The house was clean and bright with all the necessary amenities and little frills but I was in town for a work conference so was gone must of the day and returned after dark so I worked really well as a home base for me during my stay. Mark very generously allowed me to stay later on my departure date due to my late flight. I would definitely recommend the Blue House to others.
4033661,28768213,2015-03-29,25640980,Jamila,"My family and I loved the Blue House. Mark and Julie were excellent host. Julie gave us a tour of lovely garden and chicken coup. I loved all the small details around the house, from fixtures to the picture perfect outdoors. We will and have already recommend the blue house to friends and family. The location was ideal for us to unwind after long day in the sun at Texas Relays.    "
4033661,30169192,2015-04-18,11120059,Travis,The blue house is a great place to stay. The route to the house is beautiful and so is the property. Mark made coming and going extremely easy. I would definitely recommend this place.
4033661,31882805,2015-05-11,28424567,Wendy,"Julie greeted us and showed us where items were. She was kind, easygoing and friendly. The house had all we needed, was quaint and clean. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. We loved our experience!! I loved listening to the birds while I had coffee in the morning on the porch. It was very nice and private."
4033661,33288547,2015-05-26,29377014,Brittani,"Mark was the perfect host! I booked the Blue House for my mom's stay in Austin. She loved the house, and it was clean and cozy. Mark provided us with a wonderful document containing all of the house instructions we needed during our stay. The Blue House was set back in a quiet, beautiful area of the hill country. We were able to enjoy the wild life, and hike nearby trails. We would definitely recommend the Blue House for anyone looking for a quiet retreat during their time in Austin! "
4033661,34286554,2015-06-07,16699367,Dawn,"First off, this will definitely be a repeat Airbnb experience for me! Mark and Julie are wonderful hosts, and they have built a lovely and peaceful abode in the beautiful surroundings of Austin's Hill Country. The Blue House more than lived up to its description. Cozy, yet still spacious. The screened in porch, equipped with ceiling fan, faced the long drive to the host's home and a natural habitat attractive to all kinds of wildlife. Lots of deer (they sleep there overnight!), foraging road runners, lizards, squirrels, and a variety of birds and singing. The windows are double-paned, making it surprisingly quiet for a good night's sleep.

The kitchen is small, but more than adequately equipped for cooking meals with the gas stove/oven and microwave. As whatever former travelers leave in good condition - including spices, unopened beverages and the like - are available to the next ones, I added a grill pan to the collection during my stay. And I look forward to using it there again.

The location is also perfect. It only took me about 20 minutes to get to The Saxon Pub, a local and reputable music venue in Austin, to hear my favorite band ""Patrice Pike Band"" play (every Thursday night!). And it was less than 15 minutes to Bee Cave, which has everything from grocery stores, serious shopping, restaurants and live music (Woody's Tavern and Grill), scenic spots, hiking and more.

I was content to spend a lot of time at The Blue House, just soaking in all the nature available at this awesome location.

Thanks, Mark and Julie! You have truly created something special there, and we are fortunate in how you've chosen to share it!"
4033661,52671600,2015-11-01,25543140,Van,"The Blue House is so fantastic. A quaint but spacious, beautiful stand-alone guest house, it feels like it is out in the country, but is actually just a short drive to all the great things Austin has to offer. Wild deer wander the neighborhood and the yard of the house, making for such a wonderful and peaceful setting. 
The house itself is perfect - super clean and meticulously maintained. Newly installed Dish TV with DVR, plus Roku for Netflix, Amazon, etc., provides great stay-home entertainment when you don't want to go out. The house is fully stocked for a short stay or longer rental. We stayed three months and loved it. 
Your hosts, Mark and Julie, are wonderful. They provide perfect instructions on access, wifi, etc. They  live next door and are always a quick text or email away, but let you enjoy your house with complete privacy. The house has its own private driveway with street access separate from the host's house. 
You can't go wrong with the Blue House and it's wonderful hosts. "

The house is very nice and the room is really pleasurable to stay in. There are several cool restaurants around the place and you can easily go downtown in 10-15 minutes.

Justine was out during my stay but we met for check-in and she was very nice and available for advices. She wrote me a list of cool places to go to. She was also very flexible with check-in/check-out time. She made all possible to make my stay enjoyable, and it was a success!"
6612246,33973123,2015-06-02,28482683,Elizabeth,"This apartment is nothing short of amazing. It is completely private, very stylishly finished and everything is brand new! The beautiful pool was a highlight for us also. Within walking distance or short uber ride to everything you could possibly need to see from a tourist perspective but the best thing is that if you are just looking to relax there is no need to even leave the neighbourhood. Very short walk to amazing food trucks, restaurants and excellent coffee shops. It is such a great area and we always felt safe walking places.

Michael was a wonderful host giving us plenty of privacy but was very friendly. Thanks Micahel for what was possibly the best accommodation experience of our holiday. If we are ever back in Austin we will be back to stay."
6612246,34045078,2015-06-03,22966579,Ashley,"This apt. was a great experience. My sister and I booked last minute, arrived late in the night, and left early the next morning.

6612246,35143542,2015-06-15,34658789,Samantha,"Michael's modern guesthouse was a wonderful place to land when we arrived to Austin. Visiting from New York, my boyfriend and I had no qualms walking from the home to downtown Austin and even over the Congress bridge. Lots of great bars, coffee shops and dining options are nearby. I would recommend renting a car or bicycles if you're not used to walking 30-1hr to get to the rest of the city - but East Austin is enjoyable on its own!"
6612246,35701058,2015-06-21,16020314,Adrian,"Michael's guesthouse was exactly what we were looking for...modern, clean, well appointed and in a great location.  The keypad entry system made getting in and out a breeze.  

We appreciated Michael's suggestions for nearby restaurants and bars.  We visited several and liked them so much we'll definitely stop in on our next trip to Austin.  Also, we'll definitely check availability for Michael's guest house next time around.  His guesthouse is exactly what Airbnb is about."

Michael left a map with local recommendations and a six pack in the fridge. The keypad entry meant we didn't have to coordinate to pick up a key or get let in. Michael was responsive, even on the 4th of July holiday. We'd definitely stay here again. "

We were all surprised at how pristine the place was when we arrived. We actually felt at home right away with the pictures of Caren and her family, not to mention the place was very comfortable for our party of 7.

Arranging our travels with Caren was a breeze as well; the reservation through Airbnb was fast and easy, and Caren was quick to reply to all our questions. In addition, Caren kept in communication with us before the trip to provide us with details on how to get into the house, how to find our way through the house (e.g. extra towels), and even included recommendations on where to go for the nearby grocers, or other places of interest.

Her home was very well organized for guests, very clean, and incredibly comfortable for our party of 6 + a baby ;) She was very easy to get in contact with, and check in and check out was a breeze.  We especially loved how this home was very well organized so that guests didn't need to guess where things were or how to do certain things (like how to work the TV).  Caren was a wonderful host who left maps and tour guides, detailed instructions on navigating her home, and even a welcome tray with goodies for us.  My in-laws had never used airbnb before and were a little apprehensive about the process, but after staying in Caren's home they are airbnb believers now! I would definitely recommend this rental for its coziness, cleanliness, wonderful host, and easy central location.   "

We stayed for 2 nights with a total of 8 girls and we wished we could of stayed longer at the house. Caren was great to work with and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. She provided a great list of things to do and places to eat at. 

No one in our group had a car so we walked down to the bus line a few times to get downtown. Cheap and easy to use.

I definitely recommend staying here if you have a large group. "

It was perfect for everyone to hang out downstairs, while the babies could sleep quietly upstairs. We enjoyed walking to the nearby food trucks to grab coffee in the morning and swam in the neighborhood pool in the afternoon. The location is also great as it's close to I-35 and minutes away from UT campus, downtown, and delicious places to eat! Caren was great at keeping in contact throughout our stay and ensuring that we enjoyed our time spent in her home. Thank you!"

Caren took great care to think of everything from how many towels we might need, to leaving out reusable shopping bags for us. We had a large group that varied in numbers throughout our stay. At one point we had 8 adults and two babies, and were still pretty comfortable. 

The neighborhood was very safe and clean, with a beautiful pool, food trucks and a farmers' market within walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Austin, and staying in the townhouse made it perfect. "

720369,29743832,2015-04-12,27916394,Katrina,"Caren was a gracious and attentive host. The home is exactly as pictured, and the neighborhood is quiet and convenient to downtown. The kitchen was stocked with goodies, and we felt right at home. Caren was easily accessible via text message and responsive to any questions we had. The  only challenge was a complex TV system and series of remotes. We opted out of trying to get Pandora to work, so we decided to watch the extensive collection of DVDs. Thanks for everything Caren!!"
720369,32958933,2015-05-24,25793221,Marcia,Caren made us feel very welcome by having a breakfast basket there for us and having a list of suggestions for us.

Her home is beautiful, clean, and extremely family friendly. The pictures were very accurate. The neighborhood is immaculate, quiet, and modern. The neighbors are friendly as well. The pool - oh the pool! Gorgeous. Caren's home is close to downtown along with everything else. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for everything Caren! God bless you and your family."
720369,41828967,2015-08-09,6527818,Trisha,"The row house was so great! We are family of 7 and we fit comfortably. It is in a great area of Austin and Caren have great recommendations of things to check out. The Thinkery is also nearby which our children loved. 
The house is very close to the neighborhood pool & very well appointed. Everything was provided down to lovely snacks!! This is a great place when visiting Austin! "
720369,45840455,2015-09-06,21015019,Rachel,"Caren's home was the perfect place to rest with a group of friends for the Labor Day weekend. The environment was clean and cozy just as the photos show, and she was so kind to offer coffee, snacks, use of extra toiletries and access to do laundry. The pool area was very nice and super close to the house. We would love to stay here again! "
720369,49443158,2015-10-04,17365730,Darren,"Cute townhouse in a nice and convenient neighborhood.

1835131,10040127,2014-01-27,10967474,Justin,"I spent a long weekend in Austin with a group of 7 teammates doing a mini cycling camp. The house was located in a great area across the street from Zilker Park and really conveniently located to common bike routes through town.

The house has a huge master suite that easily fits an additional air mattress, and the upstairs sleeps 5 easily (two per room and one on the sofa).  The experience was great, from check-in to check-out.  Erica and team were very responsive and helpful and made the stay problem free.  The garage was great for our bikes - parking was a bit limited on the property, but across the street is a huge parking lot.

I'd love to come back in the summer and spend time on the great patio - we didn't get to be out there much because of the cold weather.  

If you're looking for a upscale, comfortable place to stay in Austin, you can't go wrong with this house and with Erica as a host."
1835131,10270130,2014-02-10,377254,Ryan,"The house was great and looks just as good as it does in the pictures. The driveway was a bit tricky to navigate but this is a modern, cool and spacious house and the hosts are very tech savvy and easy to deal with. 

Ryan"
1835131,10417202,2014-02-18,9662916,Marissa,"From the second we entered the home it was a very favorable experience! Located very central to downtown, zilker park, and many good restaurants/bars we enjoyed walking and running the path along the water into downtown Austin (about 2 miles).  The home itself was fantastic, all beds very comfortable and the amenities were fantastic!  We enjoyed lounging on the roof around the fire pit as well as watching television (the home comes with Netflix), which was a nice perk! 

Turnkey was very thoughtful and checked in with us to ensure we were satisfied the moment we walked in! I would highly recommend staying here and hope to come back soon!"
1835131,11447146,2014-04-03,2251897,Nicolas,"First time we stay at Erica place and what a great experience we had , we will definitely recommend you to my friends and we will come back for my next trip to austin. The location was more than perfect and so peaceful. Thanks Erica for a such amazing experience, cannot say anything bad about our stay, perfect gateway cheers"
1835131,13347085,2014-05-26,11401930,Brennan,This was a great location! We walked to Barton springs and breakfast at Austin Java: Erica called us right when we got there to make sure we had everything we needed and we got in okay. I would highly recommend this awesome Zilker park home to anyone wanting to visit Austin!
1835131,15184222,2014-07-04,2844617,Meridel,"This is a lovely home with modern amenities. It is is close to Barton Springs (a ten minute walk to the ""pay"" side of the park) and around the corner some several good restaurants. Erica was easy to work with and quick to reply. "
1835131,22811742,2014-11-15,6130637,Seychelle,"Erica and the turnkey management group were awesome to work with. They were prompt, professional and quick with response. 

The property itself is not one we would rent again. The couch back was not attached so it fell off whole you were sitting on it 3-4 times during our visit, there weren't enough pillows, towels or pillow cases for the guests either. It seemed like the cheapest finish out on furnishings to push people through is what happened. The location also was extremely noisy with us having a 7 month old with us. If you have a bunch of adults it probably wouldn't have been as tough. The traffic noise, late night dumpster picking up/slamming down across the street at 3am and the 5 train horns blowing per night made for a sleepless baby. "

943528,8099103,2013-10-15,735652,Valerie,"Mark's place is an absolute gem in Downtown ATX! I was lucky to find his place for a decent price given the huge music festival going on the same weekend. He was quick, courteous, and had a ton of fun and helpful suggestions for me.

His apartment is located in a gated complex with your own parking spot - I felt as safe as can be each night I was there! His place was luxuriously decorated with by far the comfiest sofa and bed I've been on. The shower was a little tricky to use (almost felt like I was gonna rip it out of the wall!) but overall fine. Mark was great enough to provide ample towels and even a bottle of red waiting for us on the counter. 

Great place and 110% recommended. Walking distance to 6th street and Austin Music Hall where I went for one night. Plenty of things to do all around. Thanks so much Mark!"

The apartment was very neat and clean.  Everything that was promised in the airbnb description was delivered.

Mark is a great host. He provided check-in information and logistics in advance and answered my questions promptly. The next time I go to Austin this is the first place that I will check for availability."
943528,13877784,2014-06-07,14085315,Robin,This place was unbelievably close to the convention centre; literally 1 min walk from the doors.

943528,15740140,2014-07-14,17974165,Omar,"Mark was courteous and quick to respond. He was knowledgeable of the area and had many recommendations. His instructions were clear and detailed. This was my first time using airbnb - it was simple and an easy transition from looking up the property to payment to communicating with the host to checking out. 

He rents out the entire place so he’s never there.

As soon as I opened the door to the place it smelled cleaned, the wood floors were shiny, and everything was put in place.  What you see in the picture is the truth and it wasn't expensive. He offers towels, washer & dryer, TV with surround system, a clean kitchen, etc. etc...

It was like staying at a friend’s house minus the payment part.

I needed a late check out on Sunday and he was flexible with that. I was in town to party and to go float the Comal River. The centralized location made it attractive and convenient, the neighborhood is clean and safe – you can walk to most places. 

There’s a cool sports bar across the street, 6th Street is about two blocks away, and there are several restaurants across the street. 

This is a prime location. Rent it!

943528,16955995,2014-08-04,14296002,Elizabeth,"We had a fabulous time in Mark's condo in downtown Austin! If you want to be downtown, this was absolutely prime location. We were even able to walk to the cute shops in the SoCo area.  The area really could not have been better. We also really appreciated and relied on the very well crafted email Mark sent us with detailed instructions and his personal recommendations. It is clear he really cares about providing a great experience. 

The only constructive feedback or caution I would add is that this condo is in downtown clearly around a lot of partiers. The walls are not insulated very well so on both Friday and Saturday nights, the neighbors were so loud into the wee hours of the morning that we didnt sleep much.  Not something Mark can do much about, but definitely something to know if you dont want to be around that atmosphere. 

Otherwise, the condo provided everything we needed, was comfortable, and convenient...it even had a parking space beyond a closed gate. We would definitely stay here again. "
943528,17250323,2014-08-09,19449682,Rick,"Mark was very responsive and left very detailed instructions on gaining access to the unit and other tips. 

The condo is in a great location - right across the street from the convention center and just a few blocks to 6th Street. Plenty of restaurants to walk to. 

The condo overlooks an interior courtyard and is a little dark, which is great for sleeping. The place was also very quiet and although I didn't use, the parking space was convenient. 

Nice size space and clean. I was very comfortable staying here. "
943528,17389377,2014-08-11,18975706,Raja,Location was great. Mark was very responsive. Great stay!!
943528,17902564,2014-08-18,19862913,Angela,"Mark was a great host leading up to and during our trip to Austin. He responded quickly to all of my questions and sent us helpful information regarding directions, accessing the building, parking, and recommendations for the area. The only tiny snag was that the remote to allow us access to the parking area wasn't working. We called Mark and he immediately had his neighbor meet us with an extra remote opener.

We were also very happy with the cleanliness and location of Mark's place. We were able to walk to great bars, food, and live music, and we also used the nearby bike share to ride around and check out the city."
943528,18386399,2014-08-25,5060146,Bethie,I stayed at Mark's place this past weekend with a couple of friends and we couldn't have had a better experience! The apartment is in a great location downtown and close to everything. It was also very quiet. Mark was very helpful and provided a lot of information about the place prior to our arrival. We ran into Margot when we first arrived and she was excellent in helping us get settled. I will definitely request to book again the next time I am in Austin.
943528,18798364,2014-09-01,10208944,Corina,"Mark's Condo is SUPER convenient to all that Austin has to offer. It's cool, comfy and clean - I would definitely stay there again and recommend it. Mark was also a great host, we was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay."
943528,19583379,2014-09-14,21260858,Jack,"Consider yourself lucky if you are able to stay at this castle! The place is ultra chill with a hip, modern vibe. A buddy and I stayed here for a night and it was perfect. Location is prime. Mark was very helpful and seems like a great guy.

And host wonderful- I'll be back"
943528,19778720,2014-09-18,17824226,Jill,"This is a great condo with a terrific location and reasonable price. I was attending a conference at the convention center and it's right across the street. It's also close to all the fun things in downtown Austin like 6th St. Although the location is busy, the condo itself is very quiet and there is a nice courtyard in the center of it and it's very secure. It also has fast WiFi and Mark was helpful and responsive and checked in on us. I'd stay here again!"

943528,20668408,2014-10-03,4230100,Anna,"This apartment could not be easier to get to from the airport, being just yards from the bus stop.  Mark had sent a detailed email allowing us to gain access and get settled in so the whole process from landing to relaxing was seamless!  Just a short walk from the bustle, food and drink of East Sixth Street and from Congress Avenue and the Capitol, the area around the apartment feels safe, friendly and accessible at all hours.

The apartment was immaculate and comfortable with everything you want in a crash pad.  Because it faces a covered courtyard there is virtually no natural light, but this keeps it deliciously cool all day and it is a joy to return to after the Austin heat.  Highly recommended, an amazing city and a great stay!"
943528,20744687,2014-10-05,3976704,Matt,"All as advertised: great location, great place, and Mark is a great host who makes things super convenient. "
943528,21025435,2014-10-10,4968337,Robyn,"Marks' place in Austin is terrific.  Centrally located, yet on a nice, quiet  street - near tons of great restaurants and bars.  Except for driving out of town to try some Texas hill country BBQ, we never needed to touch the car.  On our last day, he was even kind enough to arrange for a friend to watch our bags between checkout and our evening flight. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone."
943528,21275577,2014-10-14,9775554,Lori,"The host, Mark, was very easy to work with and he responded quickly.  The condo had everything we needed and was clean and kept well.  "

943528,22575566,2014-11-10,14444115,Alva,Mark was great!  He was very responsive to my texts and my emails.  There was difficulty getting information through on the airbnb page so Mark went to special effort to make the specific info I needed available.  He also provide information about Austin venues and fun stuff to do.  Mark even helped me get to my conference location in the historic repurposed courthouse building on 8th Street.
943528,22808966,2014-11-15,20337594,Michael,"Mark's place was great! He was in contact the whole time, very polite. The place has a great location that leaves everything in downtown walking distance, no needs for cabs or anything! The kitchen is great too for those that might be staying a little longer. The only thing is, bring a bag of ice, the fridge doesn't have an icemaker but mark has supplied a few ice trays. 

This was a wonderful first Airbnb experience and would definitely stay here again! "
943528,22977222,2014-11-19,19244382,Kristi,"Mark was awesome! He communicated well and provided a map of his recommended places. The condo is very nice, in a great location and is very comfortable. The extremely high bed is a bit odd but comfortable once we added some white noise to the ambiance with our cell phone app (our problem, not his!) One thing to note, on Friday and Saturday nights, the condo building can be very loud/echo-y. The way it is built you can literally hear everything everyone says in the common areas and outdoor hallways. Also not Mark's fault...just know going in that you might not sleep until the post-bar traffic comes back home on those nights. Other nights it was perfect and quiet. Love the wood flooring in the living room and  the kitchen was great. Also liked not having to worry about keys. It was a wonderful home base for a long weekend!"
943528,23056742,2014-11-21,17148358,Brad,"Everything was great.  The condo was nicely furnished, the bed was really comfortable, everything was clean, and the location was fantastic.   There is a private parking space and all kinds of bars, restaurants and music venues in close walking distance.  Mark responded quickly to my booking request and all subsequent emails and was a friendly and gracious host.  I plan on bringing my wife down with me for a weekend and definitely plan on staying here again."

It was comfortable and had extra pillows and blankets if we needed.  The kitchen was stocked with mugs, bowls, utensils, etc.  the apartment was located right in downtown Austin, amidst all the great restaurants.  The location couldn't have been better.

Host provided a great list of attractions/restaurants to try and various info about the condo.  Communication was exactly what you want from a host, no need for contact but very responsive if anything comes up.  Walkable to pretty much anything you may need.  No need for a car, but parking is convenient and private.  Lots of extra conveniences included in the space, including laundry and a set of (website hidden)/entertainment system are nice, bed is very comfortable, everything was clean and cozy.  Would definitely stay here again if/when I am in Austin, and I would recommend this place to anyone."

943528,28375656,2015-03-23,6261281,Amy,"Mark's condo was the ideal SXSW spot for me and my friends. It's *precisely* as pictured/described: clean, comfortable, and incredibly handily located. And Mark (whom I never met in person, but who was instantly responsive and helpful by email, phone, and text) was an excellent host. He sent a detailed email with lots of useful information after we booked, and had the place clean and ready for us the day we arrived, despite tight turn-around times with other departing SXSWers.
I can't emphasize enough how great the location is: each morning, I could saunter across the street to the Convention Center in my pjs to queue for my SXXpress pass, then toodle back ""home"" for a little more shut-eye before rolling out for the music. Coming from Chicago, I was enchanted by the courtyard's blossoming redbud, twittering sparrows, and little fountain--a lovely infusion of spring. The condo perfectly balanced providing a retreat from the fray and easy access to all the action.
Highly recommended!"
943528,28679158,2015-03-28,6986825,Wayne,"Mark was an awesome host!  I've stayed at a few places in this complex and this was by far the best place.  Awesome amenities including coffee & an awesome TV & sound system.

AWESOME location, just a block or two from awesome bars, restaurants etc.  Having private parking was the best, as I was never worried about my car being left in a dangerous place.  I would absolutely stay here again!"
943528,29263339,2015-04-06,8024141,Becca,"Mark was super helpful from the moment I booked. Very quick to respond and accomodate requests. His home is in a really great part of Austin and it was easy to walk to most of the places we wanted to go. Also, was super helpful to have a parking spot, so we never had to drive around or feed meters. His place was very clean and had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again if I'm lucky enough to get back to Austin in the future.  "
943528,29662127,2015-04-11,595025,Jez,"Mark's apartment is in an amazing location, right by the exhibition centre, just a walk to Congress, an easy walk to Rainey St (well, it's pretty much easy walking to everywhere), plus good coffee within a couple of blocks at Houndstooth or Patika. Plus with a car space, there's a place to keep your car for the longer jaunts.

The apartment itself is very comfortable and just as described. The couches are great, and his living room has a great set-up if you want to just chill and watch some TV for a while.

I found the bed a little unsupportive—it tended to sag a bit—but it was very soft. I just prefer a firmer bed I guess. I'm sure others would have no problems with it.

Overall, though, we had a great stay at Mark's place, and I'd definitely recommend it for location alone"
943528,29903014,2015-04-14,14614887,Sean,"Location was great for a first time visit to Austin. We were in town for a wedding and found everything to be within walking distance. The condo is exactly as pictured. The room/bathroom was a little small, but more than enough for two. Host provided a great list of attractions/restaurants to try and various info about the condo. Communication was exactly what you want from a host, no need for contact but very responsive if anything comes up. Having the ability for laundry, wifi, and entertainment system was nice.

If you're older you should expect some noise in the evenings from the guests/homeowners after enjoying the Dirty 6 (6th street bars). Nothing ear plugs didn't fix and the location/price/ability to host friends before the wedding was nice."
943528,30127071,2015-04-18,595025,Jez,Back again. Everything I said in my first review stands. Great location—definitely recommended.
943528,30205429,2015-04-19,28658599,Brandon,Myself and two friends drove down to Austin for the day/night and had a great stay at this AirBnb. Great location and Mark was super accommodating. We had some trouble getting into the condo parking lot with my car but we called him up and he was very helpful. He gave some great recommendations on places to eat and drink. It was super convenient getting in and out of the condo....don't need a key! I would highly recommend staying here.
943528,30308890,2015-04-20,29279326,Amanda,"Mark's place was just as described - comfortable, clean, and in an ideal location! I was in town for business, and with a super early wake up, I didn't get to really enjoy the perks of being so close to so much. But it is definitely in a prime spot for taking advantage of Austin's fun! I would love to go back another time and do just that. "
943528,30419725,2015-04-21,20015088,Mason,Condo was awesome and in a great location. Mark's instructions made entry and exit easy. Would stay here again.

Great location that is convenient to anywhere you want to go to downtown.  Mark was an excellent host and provided us everything we needed during our stay.

His place was clean and stylish, and had the right about of space for 3 people. The location was perfect--in the heart of downtown without being loud, right next to the inbound and outbound bus stops to the airport. I'm definitely glad I chose this over a hotel."

The apartment is simply ideal for people who want to spend the weekend in Austin. It has a queen size bed, a couch, two air mattresses. It also comes with a gated parking spot 
By the way the instruction on how to get through the gates and to the parking was very good.



I could not resist reading some surviving guide book that was laying around!"

The walls were thin so it was very easy to hear outside noise (especially on Friday night as there were a few parties). We had earplugs though so it wasn't too bad. Overall we were pleased.
943528,33405550,2015-05-27,27653980,Dina,"This was our first experience with airbnb and it couldn't have been better.

(Every now and then it could get a little noisy since the bed is right next to the wall that faces the outside of the condo.) Would definitely stay here again!"
943528,34684760,2015-06-10,14757497,Ian,"Whenever I need to rent a place in Austin I check Mark's listing first. 

Mark has perfected the art of the seamless checkin and checkout.

He's a great host and his unit is in a great location (literally a stone's throw away from the downtown convention centre).  
It is always clean, comfortable and welcoming.  I love this place. 

I highly recommend this unit.  
"
943528,34815431,2015-06-12,21012566,Serge,"Mark sent all of the information I needed for my stay in advance so I was well informed and comfortable with my stay even before I arrived. The place was clean, as pictured and a great place to relax after my long days working."
943528,34906458,2015-06-13,1453956,Adam,"Mark was a great host. He was helpful and communicative. His place was exactly as advertised, clean and comfortable. A great place!"
943528,35078998,2015-06-15,30421431,Thomas,"Mark was a very helpful host who was available for all questions. The apartment was spotless and had all the comforts of home. The location of Mark's apartment was excellent. Right downtown, near all the action. If I was working the convention center, Mark's would be my first choice."
943528,35418710,2015-06-18,3453846,Zina,Mark was very helpful and provided detailed instructions to accessing the apartment. It was tidy and comfortable for our short stay. Thank you.
943528,35862756,2015-06-22,35432050,Jana,"This is the perfect location for all things downtown Austin.  This was our first Airbnb experience and were not sure what to expect.  Dealing with Mark was wonderful.  The condo was nicely decorated, clean and the perfect location.   Mark sent us some places to eat/visit/work out while we were in town. (All within walking distance).  We are looking forward to coming back to Austin and staying at Mark's condo."
943528,36226028,2015-06-26,31037716,Anna,"We had a good stay at Mark's condo. The condo is in a great location downtown, with lots of restaurants within walking distance. It was also great to have our own gated parking spot (a huge plus!). We stayed at the condo in the middle of the week, so it was very quiet at night. Mark was a great host. He gave us super-detailed information about accessing the condo and was quick to respond. Thanks!"
943528,36512670,2015-06-29,12902978,Lisa,"Mark's place was great!  Communication with Mark was easy, as was the check-in process.  Mark also provided a lot of helpful information regarding parking, transportation, places to go, etc.  The photos posted are an exact match to what you see when you arrive.  Very clean, lots of space and has all the basic amenities.  The location couldn't be better.  We walked to all the bars/restaurants on 6th St. (as well as many others on adjacent streets!), and we walked to the Capitol, SoCo, Rainey St., the bat bridge and restaurant row.  The bus stop for the airport bus is right across the street.  Very convenient.  We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Austin!
"
943528,37951979,2015-07-12,29652137,Kirsten,"Mark was very helpful for us first time airbnb users. His response time is amazing! He answers all questions promptly. Mark's welcome packet was detailed and helpful. He even sent a Google map of recommended spots in Austin. Mark graciously directed us to local grocery stores too. 
The place is accurately described and very comfortably hosted 3 of us. We felt (email hidden) meals in his kitchen and doing laundry. 
The location was perfect for our week long event at the convention center - right across the street! Our family walked to many good restaurants and sights too. Being able to park in a secure, reserved spot was a great extra benefit as well.
If our event schedule hadn't been so full, we would have enjoyed the cute pool in the sister condo complex. 
When we return to Austin, we will be sure to check if Mark's place is available. We had an excellent time. Thank you!"
943528,38322900,2015-07-14,36884433,Julia,Place is clean. Location is great. We enjoyed our stay. 
943528,38542142,2015-07-16,6290475,Emily,"Great place and super convenient location to downtown conference hotels.  Mark was very responsive and answered all my questions beforehand, and everything was just as advertised when I arrived.  I'll definitely book again when I need to stay in the area!"
943528,39134588,2015-07-20,23462956,Farah,"Mark's condo was beautiful, perfectly located and exactly as advertised!  We booked last minute and he was very accomodating!  We had gated, covered parking and were literally walking distance from all the fun parts of downtown.  

Mark was just a text away and helped us through the very easy check in process.  Can't say enough good things about this Airnb experience!  Because this went so well we booked our trip to San Diego in 2 weeks through Airnb as well!  Thanks Mark for a great experience!  Farah and Charlie"
943528,40080028,2015-07-28,19391297,Liana,"We liked our stay at Mark's place.  The listing was accurate and met our needs (three New Yorkers!) exceptionally well.  The bedroom was spacious, and there was plenty of room in the common area for an air mattress. 

We appreciated the amenities such as the ironing board, washer and dryer, as well as the kitchen. It made our stay very convenient.

Two snafu's. 1. When the fridge door opens, it turns on the oven. So that's something to watch for.

2. There was an issue with some exposed nails on the floor in the laundry room, but Mark had promised to compensate me for the accident.

Neighborhood is convenient and quiet. Three blocks from all of the action on 6th street! 

Overall, 8.5 out of 10."
943528,40408474,2015-07-30,30804534,Leslie,Great location and a very clean apartment. One suggested improvement is in the bathroom. The shower controls need to be adjusted to permit the shower to be warmer. The water temperature is luke warm at best. Also the airator in the bathroom faucet is clogged which makes the water spray all over the place. Nice TV and Bose sound system. Great air conditioning!
943528,41020336,2015-08-03,39714293,Peter,"The Place was centrally located and Mark was prompt about providing directions on how to get there and how to get in. Air Conditioning was on when I got there(A plus in Austin Summers) and everything was in good shape. Great to have a washer and dryer in the unit if you are traveling for extended periods. 

All in all the experience was great. "

943528,43587146,2015-08-20,1597200,Melissa,The place was a perfect location for my convention center needs. Everything was easy to understand and get into which made check in and out a breeze. 
943528,45285459,2015-09-01,22805620,Ryan,"My stay in Austin was a good one!  I arrived at Marks place and was fortunate to get a early check in because my flight arrived in the morning.  Took the bus downtown from the airport which was an easy commute.  Finding the building and getting into the home was simple.  Everything was clean and the place looked great. 
After exploring the city some I realized just how great of a location this place is!  Thanks Mark for making my stay enjoyable."
943528,46397531,2015-09-10,17558163,Samuel,"The place was clean, and Mark was accommodating.
I find that the place was terrible For the price I paid! It was small with windows facing the inside corridors And The bed was uncomfortable. It was not a bad place, just very overpriced...."
943528,46979903,2015-09-14,23258521,Matty,"Absolutely loved the place!! Everything was as advertised, clean, quiet, with an excellent location, and Mark was above and beyond accommodating. Can't wait to stay here again in the near future."
943528,47611150,2015-09-21,29080829,Alyssa,"Loved this apt!  Clean, cozy and convenient!  It was perfect since we were there for a convention and to my surprise we were literally a crosswalk away!  We could easily access restaurants near by and there was an Uber nearby at all times.  Perfect for those who want to dine out or stay in with the kitchen.  Thanks Mark for hosting us you are awesome!!!"
943528,47897322,2015-09-21,1721677,Jamie,Great place in a great location. Easy check in and out. Good price for the location. Very pleased. 
943528,48254359,2015-09-24,1682108,Sean,This was the easiest and most simple Airbnb experience I've had. I was only in Austin for one night and Mark had everything all sorted out for me to make my stay a breeze. In fact it was far easier than even trying to stay at a hotel/motel and had the perfect location as well! 
943528,48617279,2015-09-27,8092045,Melissa,"During my stay at Mark's apartment space, I did not get to meet Mark. However, he was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay.

The apartment was in a perfect location (right across from the convention center and within walking distance to bars and restaurants). The space was very clean and had additional blankets, towels, and necessities for us. My only complaint would be that it was a bit noisy due to the enclosed type hallways with atriums throughout. I would definitely recommend staying here however!"
943528,48822397,2015-09-28,1937887,Danil,"Clean place, convenient location and on-site parking."
943528,49267441,2015-10-02,2684507,Robyn,"Mark was a great host!  The place was pristine and exactly what was described.  It was cozy and in the perfect location for everything we wanted to discover.  From the bat bridge to Barton Springs or 2nd street shopping and kayaking, it's extremely close to all.  Everything is so convenient with Starbucks across the street and a convenience store across the street.  When it came to accommodations, there were plenty of extra towels and blankets to make me feel right at home.  The covered parking was also clutch!  Not having to worry about parking was so nice after having a night on the town."
943528,49403441,2015-10-03,5677155,Adam,"Thank you Mark for a great stay.  We're only sorry it was so quick.  Mark was extremely helpful and responsive with any questions and he sent us a great information list that explained everything in his condo.  The location is ideal and super convenient to all of downtown Austin, UT, and even South Congress.  His condo is immaculate, almost wanted to sleep on the leather couch it was so comfortable.  We'll definitely be back.  Thanks again Mark."
943528,49589030,2015-10-05,33236745,Leora,"While we never met in person, Mark was very helpful and thorough, ensuring it was an easy and enjoyable stay for us! Everything is accessed by codes, so no keys were necessary which was wonderful. 

A few of us stayed there for ACL and it was the perfect location. We took an uber to the festival but we were able to walk home at night (it took about 30 minutes). The place was clean and in a great location - downtown near bars and restaurants so everything was within walking distance. He had the air mattresses pre-inflated which made our stay even easier and the bed can fit two people comfortably, plus the couch was nice as well.

I would definitely recommend this listing to a friend and would likely stay here again on my next trip to Austin!"
943528,49968648,2015-10-08,11372659,Michael,"Excellent location thats quiet, but within walking distance to the best of Austin. Check-in was a breeze, and the apartment was clean and comfortable. "

943528,50613796,2015-10-13,23592220,Sarah,This place is in a promo location in Austin.  It was perfectly located to all we wanted to do and all within walking distance.
943528,50824493,2015-10-14,906007,Andrew,"Mark did a great job with communication.  I am very familiar with the city and area so I didn't need a lot, but he left no doubt that an Austin newbie would feel uncomfortable in any way.  The place was well maintained, clean, and nice.  I have zero complaints about the experience!"
943528,51261045,2015-10-19,9541377,Boyd,"Mark's place was exactly as described and exactly what we were looking for. It was centrally located, quality furnishings, and reasonably priced. The instructions from Mark were thorough, accurate, and helpful. Mark was very communicative through the entire stay and arranged an early arrival/check-in for my friend. I would stay here again."
943528,51550081,2015-10-21,6263720,Amy,"Best part of this apartment was the location; it's walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants and is located in a gated community.  The pictures are accurate but the apartment was smaller than I expected which I think is in part to the low ceiling in the bathroom.  Mark was easy to reach via text and while I did have issues connecting to the internet, he offered solutions and I was able to get by.  "
943528,51733118,2015-10-24,20972358,Peter,"The condo was great, and perfect for us as it was just around the corner of the convention center. Super great location. THANKS!"
943528,52672639,2015-11-01,32070328,Teresa,Description was accurate - great location!!! Very clean and had everything we needed. Mark was easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. 
1456594,8751669,2013-11-16,8955215,Traci,"A beautiful space, close to 6th Street and several other downtown locations.  V2 were excellent hosts!  

The instructions provided prior to our arrival were very clear.  We were easily able to get into the condo.  When we got in, the space was clean, open, and very welcoming.

Vannak and Veronica were exceptionally responsive to an issue with the water being turned off for some building repairs...even though it was out of their control.

Would definitely recommend both this condo and V2!"
1456594,8825940,2013-11-19,345932,Loren,"Great place, excellent location, responsive host.  Loved it."
1456594,9950968,2014-01-21,9953774,Jessica,"Great condo in downtown Austin.  Well appointed, very clean, and comfortable.  Walking distance to just about everything.  Hosts are very helpful with recommendations, tips, and answering any questions.  Highly recommended!  Would definitely stay here again.  "
1456594,10040167,2014-01-27,10408398,Dennis,The condo was clean and in a perfect location in downtown Austin.  Vannak and Veronica were helpful and communicative hosts.  I would definitely stay here again. 
1456594,11269910,2014-03-27,8612483,Mark,"We really enjoyed our stay in Austin, and Vannak and Veronica were excellent hosts.  Their apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and perfectly located so that we could explore Austin both on foot and by car.  I highly recommend these hosts and their apartment as a place to stay in Austin."
1456594,12536189,2014-05-05,12584444,Travis,"Great host and nice location for whatever you want to do in Austin.  My first time there and we were able to walk to most everything.  Only bonus would have been a pool, but you pay for what you get.

"
1456594,13847641,2014-06-06,4580185,André,"The location (*right* beside the convention center) was excellent. The place was spotless and the host communicated with us promptly each time I reached out.

Vannak was also a model of good customer service when we experienced a problem. We required solid Internet connectivity while were there since all of us have websites to maintain even while we are at conferences.

Unfortunately, the Internet that was included with the room was that supplied by the homeowner association and thus is shared by the entire complex. At night when we returned from the conference and had to get work done (and even during the day on several days) we experienced extremely poor transfer rates. In some cases we could not reach websites we needed to do our work. One of our team tethered his phone to get his deployment done and completely broke through his data plan.

Vannak recognized early the degree of breakdown it was to have three tech workers without solid Internet connectivity and moved quickly to assess the situation. Ultimately he proactively refunded us a portion of our fee because there was nothing he could do in the timeframe we had. We are applying that to the expensive data plan overage.

I'm perfectly willing to give him 5 stars because of his excellent customer service. However, if you absolutely must have solid Internet connectivity while you are there you should not expect it unless Vannak installs a dedicated line to the unit. In the very least make sure your cellphone data plan and your tethering software is ready as a backup before you arrive.  "
1456594,14018049,2014-06-10,13335381,Margaret,"The Condo was perfect!  Due to flight times, I arrived early and checked out late. They were very accommodating to my needs (so grateful).  The bus from the airport dropped me off across the street and cost $1.50, a friend took a cab that cost $38.00. My roommate drove and parking was very expensive our last trip to Austin. The parking spot saved her quite a bit. We came to attend training at the Downtown Hilton which was one short block away.  Everything we needed was within walking distance, no need to rent car.  We loved the food and music that Austin offers and could not have asked for more with the accommodations.  
Thank you     
"
1456594,16156160,2014-07-22,9472181,Mallory,We felt very welcomed! There were water bottles in the fridge which was a wonderful touch and made the transition very easy and pleasurable. The directions on how to get in and out of the apt were perfect and easy. There were plenty of towels for everyone. The beds were all very comfortable. Everything was clean and seemed well kept. 
1456594,16906898,2014-08-04,650545,Ernesto,"Vannack & Veronic's condo was great. Very clean and well stocked for our 6-person visit. Vannack was very helpful and communicative before our stay, even helping us figure out parking for an additional car. The location was perfect and we were able to walk to everything in downtown Austin. Definitely recommend this great condo if you're looking for a great place to stay in Austin. "
1456594,19210310,2014-09-08,19474366,Alexander,"Can't say enough good things about Vannak - his hospitality was the epitome of 'above and beyond'. Case in point: a member of our group was driving cross country with a uhaul trailer. I asked Vannak a good place to park it while we stayed downtown. Not only did he offer a suggestion, he  let us park at his own home while he was out of town. Super helpful, super responsive, my hope in humanity is renewed!

Place was great - clean, nicely appointed, and super convenient location. Highly recommend!"
1456594,20343500,2014-09-28,2031482,Bridget,Vannak and Veronica couldn't have been more accommodating hosts. They replied quickly to emails and went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The condo was in a great location and our group of 6 girls enjoyed ourselves immensely. Would recommend to friends and stay again!!
1456594,21193329,2014-10-13,15498800,Emily,"This was too easy! Great location, cute space and fantastic hosts. Vannak really went out of his way to be accommodating. He sent some general recommendations but also provided insider tips specific to the purpose of our trip. Hosts were easily accessible and super prompt in any reply. Thanks, V2!"
1456594,22107459,2014-10-30,16006756,Chris,"Great condo and wonderful hosts. The apartment was spotless and very comfortable. It was one of the few places with dedicated parking, but it was so central to downtown that we walked everywhere. "
1456594,22227381,2014-11-02,8538969,Fran,"The location of this condo could not have been better. We walked to several amazing restaurants, shopping and fun things to do. We found the condo immaculate and the owners had it very well stocked for us. 
It is very convenient to public transportation so you can get anywhere in the City very easily. Our party consisted of 3 adult couples and we found it very comfortable for our group. Look forward to staying here again. "
1456594,22400291,2014-11-05,563856,Tom,"The apartment was great for our party of three adults, each of whom needed a separate bedroom.  It's a fantastic location right downtown, yet with very convenient access to major thoroughfares (if you want to sample Austin's best BBQ joints, food trucks, and other local joints, you're going to be driving), a reserved parking spot (key, since Austin is building up quickly and parking can be tight), walkable to several of the biggest entertainment areas, and just a few blocks from fantastic running/walking trails right on the Colorado river.

Keep in mind that this is an urban apartment -- it's not huge. But the common area is very nicely appointed, and it's great value for money, especially if you'll be using all three bedrooms. Originally we toyed with staying outside of downtown at cheaper hotels, and we were SO glad we came here instead. It's a great setup for what I am guessing is the most popular ""AirBnB use case"": a pleasant, affordable place to sleep in a fantastic location for a good price. We spent some time lounging around in the early mornings and late nights, but for the most part, we were out exploring the city.

We dealt with Vannak in making the arrangements, and I couldn't rate his responsiveness or helpfulness any higher. He always responded promptly to my emails, was flexible with some arrangements for our stay, and sent me a great list of tailored recommendations for us.

Overall, very highly recommended."
1456594,24405505,2014-12-28,21609421,Kaye,"Vannak and Veronica were great hosts. Water and wine were waiting for us in the refrigerator, bananas on the counter. Internet connection was easy. The apartment was clean and the towels were fluffy. The bedrooms are a nice size with plenty of drawer and closet space. The living space and kitchen area is small but efficient.  They communicated with us when necessary and kept us apprised of building issues. 
The location couldn't be better! We walked every where.  The building parking lot is easy to use and having two entrances/exits made our car trips simple too. Traffic in the area was very light. That could have been due to the Holiday. 
All in all a great vacation rental for us."
1456594,25996201,2015-02-01,3660670,Zachary,"Great 3 bedroom, 2 full bath unit. Close to restaurants, bars and the convention center. There were five of us and the space worked well. Small kitchen/sofa area, washer and dryer in unit, parking was super easy and convenient! Some street noise at night but nothing overwhelming. Highly recommended!"
1456594,27317960,2015-03-02,23790657,Jenna,"We all loved the apartment! It was a super convenient location.  Spacious enough for 5 of us.  The space was clean and well stocked with incidentals. 
Hosts were extremely accommodating and always replied quickly to any question we had.  Would totally recommend this place in the future."
1456594,29871986,2015-04-13,30287961,Matthew,"The apartment was clean, spacious, and perfectly located downtown. The access was convenient and the parking was perfect. Would highly recommend staying here!"
1456594,31587547,2015-05-07,9570417,David,"Vannak was very communicative and the house was exactly as described in the ad - much appreciated.

This is a perfect unit to be close to everything downtown and is very efficient for multiple people given the code-driven entry system. 

The living area is rather small but comfy and totally feasible to hang out in before you head out for the evening. 

This would be an A+ location for SXSW or any of the other Austin festivals, fwiw."
1456594,33778761,2015-06-01,26653166,Amy,"Had a wonderful time in the condo.  Had all the essentials and was located in a perfect spot that was walking distance to several attractions.  There were water bottles in the fridge which was a saving grace after a night on Rainey St.  
There was some trouble with the master shower (handle was stripped on the inside,  normal wear and tear).  Vannak responded immediately and came to the unit to remedy the issue.
I would definitely stay here again!"
1456594,35651365,2015-06-21,7908686,Andrew,"This house exceeded our expectations, which were high to begin with. It's an excellent location downtown, a quick walk to Congress Ave and the bats under the bridge, many good restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Really comfortable beds; all is immaculately kept. Hosts provided us with a good list of their recommended places to eat and visit, etc. Off street parking a real plus. Excellent value for a downtown airbnb. "
1456594,36024018,2015-06-24,33162030,Christina,We had a great stay at  Vannak and Veronica's condo. It was a great location right in downtown. We were able to walk to so many places. Vannak answered questions very quickly.  It was very comfortable for our family with 2 teenage boys and my husband and I. Would definitely recommend!
1456594,36369847,2015-06-28,6604374,Robby,"Vannak was a great host. He was very quick to respond to all questions before and during the stay. The description for the apartment was accurate. It's a clean, modern place that's very adequate for three couples. The common space is not large but served us well for congregating briefly as we planned our next Austin adventure. The location was ideal for getting out to different parts of town, especially the popular spots on 6th street and Congress. I'd recommend it for anyone who will be spending a lot of time downtown. "
1456594,36769566,2015-07-01,30921405,Willy,"We had very nice stay at Vannak and Veronica's place. Is a small apartment with good size rooms.  We were a group of 6 adults and we didn't bump into each other.  at all. When we communicated with them we asked how close was the Convention Center? (since all of our activities were there) they said it was next door, when we arrived, the CC was literally across the street. The apartment is very well located, you can find food and amenities at a walking distance. Vannak went above and beyond getting us another place to park since we had two vehicles, we are very thankful for that. All in all awesome experience."
1456594,38753372,2015-07-18,2934205,Patrick,"We had a very enjoyable stay at this condo.  The location was great-you are truly in the middle of everything!! We walked to most of the places we wanted to go.  the condo itself is immaculate.  The bedrooms are large and the beds very comfortable.  Living and dining areas are compact but worked fine for us as we were gone most of the time.  Well equipped kitchen with nice standard sized refrigerater.  Parking is in a gated, covered parking lot with a reserved space.  Most important to me was the A/C worked great!  We stayed there in the middle of July.  The reservation process was quick and easy.  The directions for accessing the property to begin your stay are well laid out and easy to follow (even for us older travelers..).  I will most definitely stay there again.  We had a great experience.  That's  about it.  Thanks!!"

1456594,46788734,2015-09-13,20408430,Jikku,"The place was better than the pictures. Pin code entry and exit so you are not dependent on Vannak for collecting or returning keys. Clean, spacious, great location."

1456594,51261063,2015-10-19,28981338,Diane,"Vannak and Veronica made us feel welcome from our first correspondence.  They answered all of our questions and did their best to accomodate our early arrival and late departure.  We were able to check in early and although we could not check out later, we were able to leave our luggage in the condo so we could have one last day of fun in Austin.  Vannak was very easy to communicate with.  He always returned my emails within a short period of time and even gave me his cell phone # in case I needed an immediate response. The condo was immaculate and fully equipped with towels and toiletries.  There were even waters in the refrigerator and bananas on the counter.  It was very centrally located.  We walked everywhere.  I would highly recommend staying here."
1456594,52490132,2015-10-30,12295271,Sally,"We loved this Airbnb!  It was very clean with everything we needed for a comfortable stay for 3 couples.  The location was absolutely perfect for a stay in downtown Austin & a nice walk to the river trail.  Vannak was wonderful, so responsive & helpful.  He even found an extra parking place for us in the complex & was so flexible & thoughtful to let us stay past our check out time day of departure due to terrible weather with torrential flooding rains & tornado warnings, wanting it to be safe for us to leave.  Thank you so much!  We would highly recommend this Airbnb!

i would rate this as an EXCELLENT experience."
174828,595365,2011-10-03,1214001,Diana,The home was lovely. When can I move in? Everything was clean and comfortable. The bed was great! Jenny was personable and helpful. Great first experience with Air BNB. Thanks.
174828,700338,2011-11-07,1344106,Carissa,Jenny's house was excellent for our stay.  The house was convenient and worked out great for the 4 couples.    We really enjoyed our trip!!

174828,764153,2011-12-05,758029,Ellice,"Jenny was the perfect hostess. She responded quickly to my initial request, maintained steady communication and was just so pleasant to work with. Upon arrival, she gave us a thorough tour of her beautiful retreat (even lovelier in person) and even offered her herb garden for our cooking pleasure! The house, neighborhood, her binder of great tips & recommendations and her professional welcoming demeanor are what make airbnb absolutely worth it."
174828,831707,2012-01-03,1436457,Arabella,"Our group had an amazing experience at this property! It was a great place to stay for a larger group. We cooked a lot on site and we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The back porch was also a wonderful place for our entire group to hang out. Close to downtown too, only a $15 cab ride. Thank you Jenny for your hospitality!"
174828,893739,2012-01-31,1546107,Laurel,"We had a family wedding in Austin which turned into a family reunion of our 4 adult children, 2 spouses and one 15 month old grandchild.  Hotel rooms were out of the question - too expensive and too impersonal.  We used Airbandb for the first time and were very pleased with the experience.  

Jenny's house was perfect for us - 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, with a nice little yard and patio space.  Convenient parking for all our vehicles.  

Communication with Jenny was easy to do.  She was very flexible with our different arrival times and departures.  We would highly recommend her as a host when you're in Austin.  "
174828,946051,2012-02-24,208003,Kimi,"Jenny's house was very clean and comfortable. The house has all the amenities you could want (washer and dryer were especially appreciated) and Jenny herself was very friendly and accommodating. She even provided great recommendations on things to do and places to eat around Austin.  Thanks for a great stay!

Kimi"
174828,1015847,2012-03-19,1306741,Craig,"We stayed for SXSW and had and excellent service. Jenny had left great tips out for us. The house is close to highland station which was great with cabs difficult to get during busy times.

I really can't fault the whole experience."
174828,1315701,2012-05-21,1873878,Jeanie,Jenny's lovely house and warm hospitality exceeded our expectations.  My family and I were looking for a place to accommodate our large group and allow the kids to hangout.  Staying at Jenny's house was so much better than staying at a hotel.  It was super clean and comfortable with a great layout.  Coordinating details with Jenny was very easy.  I highly recommend staying here!
174828,1456101,2012-06-11,2217168,John,"I would recommend Jenny and Chris's house to anyone.  What a Great family!  Jenny was extremely prompt with communication, and had everything ready for us by the time we arrived.  The house is very clean and feels like a home.  The location was great with respect to down town.  No complaints!"
174828,1662890,2012-07-09,2186521,Marie,"Our week stay at Jenny's lovely home was exactly what we needed for our daughter's wedding! Easy access to major highways around town and not far from downtown Austin! Also loved the layout of the home with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the kitchen in the middle with the other three bedrooms on the opposite side.  The patio is perfect for entertaining with a large farm table and  fan above it! We loved our stay and felt so at home!  Thanks for the way you made us feel welcomed! Jenny, you are a great host! "
174828,1972580,2012-08-13,2265441,Marshal,Great place.  Very clean and Jenny was helpful throughout the whole process.  Everything I could have asked for.
174828,2184236,2012-09-03,3334611,Ashley,It was a great home and very nicely decorated!  Had everything ready for us when we finally arrived.  I got confused with the time change and Jenny was gracious enough to wait for us! It was a wonderful place to stay.
174828,2343939,2012-09-19,3119366,Miriam,"We came to Austin for a wedding and many members of our family were able to stay together in this lovely home. We felt so comfortable and at home. The accommodations were beautiful and welcoming and very near anything we needed. Jenny was great! Given the opportunity in the future, I would definitely choose to stay here again!"
174828,2520776,2012-10-06,3400108,Jim,"Great scene. Great place
This lovely place is a bit out of downtown, but there is a commuter rail (one of the few public transit resources in Austin) right there. Very fast, even without a car.

We did have a car, and it was easy to get around.
And I worked over breakfast at the outdoor table every morning. Very pleasant.

The whole thing worked really well for me and my team of young employees."
174828,2536752,2012-10-08,3128810,Meagan,"We stayed over the weekend here and it was perfect! Jenny was very nice and helped us a lot!  A cab ride to downtown was about 10 min. So it was a great location. The house was very clean and well priced for the weekend! We will be coming back, thanks Jenny! "
174828,2925317,2012-11-20,1962072,J P,Perfect spot for Austin.  Downtown short cab ride or a two minute walk to train and public transportation.  Quiet neighborhood.  House had nice clean bedrooms and bathrooms.  Kitchen was good size with easy to use washer and dryer just outside of kitchen.  Many restaurants and nightlife nearby.  Even had enclosed back yard with swing set for children.  Big fireplace in family room and good TV with cable and Netflix.  A large eclectic collection of books lined the fireplace. Would rate a three out of four stars.
174828,2955031,2012-11-25,1516883,Andrew And Lacey,"The Margrave house was the perfect site to host the first time meeting of our parents over the Thanksgiving weekend.  We found the space to be more than sufficient to facilitate hanging out as well as cooking a big meal for Thanksgiving dinner.  The house is spacious yet there are plenty of spaces for guests to be together.  We especially enjoyed the island in the kitchen which has ample counter space for chopping food, setting out snacks, etc, but is also a nice spot to sit and have coffee or drinks.  The living room and back patio are also very nice, the patio having a huge table for meals or hanging out.

Other features to note are several bookcases full of interesting books, a nice backyard for kids to play, and very nice light in the house.

I would recommend this house to anyone coming from out of town or anyone living in town who needs to rent a bigger house to accommodate guests from out of town.  It truly was a retreat from our tiny 1 bedroom Austin apartment!

"
174828,3169480,2012-12-28,3613247,Diane,"Jenny's house in Austin was a good meeting place for our Christmas family reunion. The house was our base, and while we didn't use all that it had to offer, such as cooking meals, the six of us were comfortable in the four bedrooms. The house is in good condition, linen and towels provided, and everything that we used worked. It felt as if Jenny and her family had just walked out of the house, and we assumed their place.
Overall a positive experience."
174828,3512149,2013-02-11,2608993,Heather,"We had a wonderful time staying at this home, and Jenny made everything so easy. We had a large group of friends visiting together, including a one year old, and Jenny accommodated us with the both flexibility and ad hoc baby gear (per our request). We are so appreciative and would recommend this house to anyone who is looking for a sweet spot to stay in Austin Texas.

"
174828,3589498,2013-02-19,4546113,Amber,"I definitely recommend staying here!  I was looking for something last minute and they were able to accommodate the request.  The house was extremely clean and very comfortable.  The decor was very nice and I loved the stone fireplace!  There were 3 bedrooms off the front left side of the house which shared a nice size bathroom and a very large master suite off the back with was great!  Our kids were able to play safely in the fenced-in backyard (they have a swingset) and the adults could easily keep as eye from the living room and kitchen (which was a great space to socialize!).  In the morning the sun would shine in the large living room window which was very peaceful to just sit and drink coffee while the kids watched cartoons.  The location was also perfect as it was only a few blocks from the highway which gave us quick access to downtown, the grocery,restaurants, stores and  the theater.  We plan to stay there on our next visit to Austin and recommend others to stay here as well!  "
174828,3786807,2013-03-15,1037795,David,"It's always a real pleasure to stay here. We've stayed here two years in a row now during SXSW and Jenny always goes out of her way to make us feel welcome. The house is lovely and very conveniently situated for the Metro which is only 15 minutes from Downtown Austin. (If only the city would run it more regularly and on Sundays!)

I'm happy to recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere in a quiet neighborhood. I'm sure you'll enjoy your stay as much as we did."
174828,3924368,2013-03-27,5560041,Peggy,EXCELLENT PLACE TO STAY!!!  The house was exactly as described and just what we wanted.  Easy access to downtown and a lot of great restaurants.  I highly recommend their home!  
174828,4248904,2013-04-22,647434,Scott,"The house was beautiful, spacious, tastefully decor'ed and even better than advertised. Truly felt like a home away from home during our stay and the owner couldn't be sweeter or more helpful. Lots of awesome nooks to read, relax, and hang with our friends. Thanks for a great weekend!"
174828,4360552,2013-04-30,5372665,Alina,"Jenny was such a lovely host, she was very welcoming and made us feel right at home in her gorgeous house (with an amazingly impressive library of books) which made our stay very special. Would definitely stay at her house again and recommend it to my friends visiting Austin!!! "
174828,4676372,2013-05-20,134168,Darita,"The house was perfect for accommodating my extended family who were in town to celebrate a graduation.  There is ample gathering spaces, good beds and enough bathrooms (with endless hot water!).  The location was good.  It has access to public transportation, although we did not use it.  Jenny was very kind and accommodating.  I highly recommend this location and this host.
"
174828,5504012,2013-07-02,415039,Noelle,"Chris & Jenny's house is perfect for a family stay! Everything is immaculate and the beds were by far the most comfortable we have ever slept in! There is a lot of thought and care in all the details. My kids did great there as well, great toys and a fenced in backyard for them to play in."
174828,5748942,2013-07-15,543368,Manny Xiu Wen,Jenny was a great host! Her house is exactly as pictured and she provided everything that is needed. Very responsive to questions and went above and beyond by providing recommendations and making sure we knew how to contact her if we had any questions. Would definitely go back!
174828,6456778,2013-08-13,206785,Erin,"Jenny's place was fantastic, and I would absolutely stay there again!
The space was well appointed, clean, and had everything my friends and I needed for our whirlwind trip to Austin. Jenny has great taste, and there are some great personal touches to her decor that I enjoyed. The location was convenient to many shops, eateries, and getting to the highway was also very simple too. Jenny was also easy to reach when we had questions, and left us a binder with clear instructions about the house, and suggestions for dining, ect.
A very enjoyable stay! Extra points for the most comfortable King sized bed I have stayed in my recollection.
Thanks Jenny!"
174828,7022054,2013-09-03,8063993,Jan,Love this home - very nicely decorated and comfortable with a great patio for entertaining!  Nice quiet neighborhood but also accessible to major Austin roads.  
174828,7874930,2013-10-07,5788714,Matthew,"Jenny was very nice, helpful, and available every time I had questions. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and was exactly what I was looking for - cozy, spacious, and a great porch to boot. Highly recommended!"
174828,8037475,2013-10-14,2478480,Lauren,"We had a great stay at Jenny's house in Austin. We were a group of 8 friends, and there was plenty of room for everyone. The backyard/outdoor area is great to relax with a glass of wine if you stay in one night, and the kitchen was quite big and well set-up. The master bedroom in particular was very comfortable and welcoming (though a bit dark). 

My only caveat/warning would be to bring the ""small things"" with you as these didn't appear to be provided: coffee, tea, toilet paper, etc.

I would definitely recommend this to big groups travelling to Austin! Enjoy."
174828,8148314,2013-10-18,7322853,Russ,"Our stay and overall experience at Jenny and Chris Margrave's residence was exceptional. The house was meticuously clean and absolutley spotless. The neighborhood was quiet, very safe and close to the downtown area. If I am ever back to the Austin area I will definitely look up Jenny and Chris again. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
174828,8214425,2013-10-21,8401741,Lily,"We had a very relaxing bachelorette celebration weekend at Jenny's house and the house was absolutely lovely. All my girlfriends loved the accommodations. The house location also was super convenient to the airport (we called and took taxis into town in the evenings) - especially since we had girls flying in from different places at different times. 

Jenny was also super nice, organized, helpful in getting us settled in! You could tell how much thought she put into making the house comfortable and chic. I will definitely consider staying at this house next time I'm in Austin!"
174828,8753027,2013-11-16,3893712,Diana,"Myself and 5 other women stayed in this lovely home for a week and it was wonderful! I love the kitchen and counter with stools - where everyone hangs out. There was plenty of room for everyone. And when we had questions about accessing Netflix/Internet, Jenny was always available to answer a call. 
I would definitely recommend this home!"
174828,8811495,2013-11-19,6093286,Laura,"We had a lovely time at Jenny's home! We were a group of seven and the space was perfect for a group of our size. Very comfortable and well appointed. Following another reviewer's suggestion, we grabbed a few extra boxes of kleenex and TP and we were set.The new patio furniture and grill were an extra bonus! 

Jenny was attentive and easy going in all of our communication, and I would highly recommend her home to anyone looking for a spot in Austin. "
174828,9051267,2013-12-03,8107786,Megan,"Jenny's home was just what we needed for our big family.  We even made Thanksgiving dinner and the kids loved the swings!  Jenny was especially accommodating.  The location is a quick drive to great restaurants, bars and fun activities.  We found the best toy store close by too, Terra Toys!

Thanks, Jenny and family!"
174828,9367948,2013-12-24,9931415,Anabel,"We spent a weekend at this house and absolutely loved it. The house is very clean, cozy and spacious. It was exactly what we needed for our family of 6 adults. We even had a Christmas dinner! We would certainly stay there again. Highly recommended!"
174828,9551825,2014-01-02,4033479,Prithwiraj,We were a group of 8 people family and friends mixed. Stayed at Jenny and Chris's place for a few days to celebrate New Years 2014. The house is very spacious and extremely well maintained. They have all the supplies you can think off in case you need anything. One of the few places that I noticed is so well organized. They left instructions very clearly and was easy to get on them. The location is really good a few minutes from 1-35 and a downtown. Would love to stay here in the future. Highly recommended. 
174828,9840179,2014-01-13,11001729,Roman,We had a wonderful time during our stay. The house was very clean and a perfect amount of space for our gathering. Jenny was a fantastic host and super accommodating. I definitely recommend this BNB and will look to rent again in the future should I have the opportunity. 
174828,9995512,2014-01-24,5989480,Alice,"This was a great house, exactly as pictured. We did a management retreat there and 3 of us stayed in the house and two already live in Austin, so five of us spent three days in the living room! They have apple TV which made it super easy to project from our laptops, and we could even watch our movies easily. The house was clean, the outdoor space was lovely, and the master bed was the best nights of sleep I've had in years. I even asked the Jenny what the make and model was of the mattress! It was so relaxing. It was convenient to everywhere and super easy to get to (and fast) from the airport. I'm always freaked out by Air BnB's that feel like someone is just stepped out for a moment and you're really invading their space, with all their toiletries and such left out, but this didn't feel that way at all, it felt well kept like a proper guest cottage that only had rentals. In fact I chose the house because the photos didn't have ""personal items"" showing in the photos (note some of the homes have toothbrushes out! ick!) It really looked exactly like the photos. The house guide was super helpful, too. "
174828,10157626,2014-02-03,11211943,Rebekah,"This house was the perfect spot for our bachelorette weekend. Many of us are in the architecture field and could not get over how beautifully decorated and comfortable the rooms are. Jenny has the house set up like a hotel with many hospitable details thought of (from notes about hot spots in the area to a hairdryer for each room). There were 7 of us but we could have easily fit 8 people. The neighborhood is a series of small old houses, and Jenny's house is the cutest on the street. The only exception may be the house with the huge mustache on the garage which is the kind of character that makes Austin great! 

If you are looking for a home away from home, you will not be dissappointed with this choice."
174828,10532629,2014-02-24,11131535,Andrea,Jenny was great and very accommodating. The house is super cute and had eveything we needed for a girls weekend!
174828,10696398,2014-03-03,12293879,Karmina,Jenny was great! It was my first time renting from AirBnB and I'm so glad that we picked Jenny's home for the weekend. She was quick with responses and very friendly when we met. Her home is beautiful; very nice and clean. I especially loved the outside patio area. I would recommend her place for anyone wanting to stay in Austin. Thanks Jenny! 
174828,10917050,2014-03-13,1037795,David,"My team and I stayed here again (for the third year in a row) for SXSW and once again, Chris and Jenny made us feel super welcome. The house is great and the outdoor space has been upgraded which makes it even nicer to chill out and relax in. It really has everything you could ask for in a family home.

The metro rail is just a short walk away and can whisk you downtown in 20 minutes for less than 3 bucks. I can highly recommend this place as a great spot to stay in Austin. "
174828,10999866,2014-03-17,10570505,Ben,Jenny's house was very comfortable and a great base of operations for our crew. She was extremely kind and helpful with recommending nearby restaurants and activities. I would definitely rent this place again when visiting Austin.

174828,15104031,2014-07-02,16131017,John,"The house was cozy and perfect for our two families with small children. The location is a bit off the beaten path, but close enough to everything you need. Quite charming and the hosts were great to deal with. Overall, a very pleasant experience"
174828,15689109,2014-07-14,14054798,Stephanie,"Jenny's house was absolutely darling!  It was exactly pictured and perfectly clean when we arrived.  I was with a group of 8 and everyone had a spot to sleep and was so comfortable.  Jenny was a great communicator as well about the details of check in and check out, and she was quickly responsive to any of my questions about the rental process.  This was my first AirBNB experience and if all are like Jenny and this home I will definitely be doing it again!  "
174828,16066651,2014-07-21,1504732,Brian,"My friends and I absolutely had a blast staying at Jenny's Austin Retreat. She was very responsive and helpful throughout. Instructions were very clear and she walked me through having a good experience in Austin.

The house: Absolutely cozy, roomy, clean, and comfortable 
Beds, linens: Comfy and clean
Amenities: Towels, shampoo, hair dryer, table and kitchenware, modern home appliances
Bathrooms: Very clean
Location: Quiet and safe neighborhood, easy access to the freeway and 15 minutes car ride to downtown"

The location was great as well. Jenny was a wonderful host who was in contact with me before and during our stay. She was responsive to questions we had during our stay and was available  for anything we needed. I would definitely stay at her home again and would recommend it to others. 
174828,17381074,2014-08-11,18586894,Jubin,Very comfortable stay.
174828,19510108,2014-09-14,9285719,Meredith,"I planned a girls trip for my college friends, and this house was just right. The weather wasn't great so we didn't get to use the patio, but it looked like it would be a great place to relax. The home had everything we needed to spend time at the house relaxing, chatting, eating, and resting. All in all, the owners were friendly and accommodating. I would use this home again for another trip. "
174828,20449101,2014-09-29,12197910,Brady,"What a great home. We came to town for a tour we produce around the country and with parents for this one. Choosing this house was perfect!! Great room, outdoor space a huge asset to spending time together. Everything about the house was ideal. Two great places to eat was stiles switch BBQ and foreign and domestic. I highly suggest taking a leap and locking down this place anytime visiting Austin

Her outside patio lives up to the gorgeous pictures and was the perfect place to start and end our days.  Jenny herself was a dream -- organized, patient, and helpful.  Great experience, excellent host!"
174828,21029627,2014-10-10,18189999,Andy,Communication with Jenny and Chris were great before our trip. Fast replies. Housing was exactly as advertised. Great place!
174828,22353658,2014-11-04,16440976,Richard,"Jenny was very helpful and patient throughout the process.  She made us feel welcome by greeting us on arrival and leaving breakfast goodies for day 1.

This home has a great outdoor space for relaxing and catching up with our extended family.  The living spaces are spacious for a large family.  The beds were comfortable.  The kitchen had all of the amenities of home and a washer and dryer are always a huge plus.

Jenny's house book contained restaurant recommendations that were spot on, plus details on shopping and other handy to know info.  The home is very convenient to the train and a $28 cab ride from downtown.  Her advice about parking downtown was invaluable.

The house is about 17 miles from the Circuit of the Americas track.

174828,22549447,2014-11-09,11769256,Matthew,"Our stay at this house was very pleasant and a great value. The house provided plenty of space for our party of 8 with most of the group getting their very own bed (or couch) to sleep on. The house was very neat and clean upon our arrival. Toiletries and towels were conveniently provided in the closet hall and they have an easy to use washer and dryer available at the house.

The atmosphere of the house was very warm and it was easy for us to relax and retire comfortably there at night. The foremost consensus of my party was that they preferred the house to a hotel because we were able to all 8 gather at the dinner table or living room or even the outside patio in private.

The location of the house was perfect for our weekend itinerary. The train station to take us downtown was little more than a 10 minute stroll up airport from the house. The train runs every 40 minutes until midnight which was very convenient. Other excursions to hopdoddy and the goodnight for bowling we elected for cab service which was usually around 20 dollars a trip.

The house had plenty of parking space. We were able to fit two crew cab trucks and two compact cars in the driveway.

The yard had enough space to throw the football and there was a perfectly functioning grill.

The checkout process was very simple and we were able to comply with it in little more than 10 minutes the last hour before checkout.

I would definitely stay or recommend this property again."
174828,22882544,2014-11-17,11038163,Claudine,"We were very comfortable in Jenny's home. The location was central and navigating the city from their home was very easy. Cold weather prevented us from taking advantage of the patio but we stayed cozy and warm inside. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are spotless, great all around."
174828,23357463,2014-11-30,19811762,Jan,The Margrave House was exactly what I expected.  The location and the house is what we needed for entertaining in Austin with family at Thanksgiving.  Plenty of room for the six adults and additional family visitors.   Jenny was easy to contact and quick to respond.  Would definitely book this house again if the time was right.  
174828,24158270,2014-12-21,24659839,Justin,"House was awesome, good location!!! Host was helpful and quick to respond to any question we had, would definitely stay here again!!!"
174828,24581919,2014-12-31,21377276,Cobby,"Our family enjoyed our visit to Austin and our stay in the Margrave's home.  The house is well-equipped, clean and conveniently located less than 15 minutes from downtown.  Jenny was a pleasure to deal with - clear and responsive to communications.  A ""Welcome to Our Home"" book provided simple instructions, and recommendations for local markets, coffee house, restaurants,etc.  The entire transaction went smoothly - thank you Jenny!
"
174828,25538057,2015-01-19,11207480,Marianne,"The house was very clean and cozy with really comfortable beds and bed sheets.  There were six of us staying at the house sharing the 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and it worked out perfectly.  Jenny was very responsive to all of our questions before we got there and we appreciate that she provided certain basic necessities to get us settled in.  The location of the house was indeed conveniently located near restaurants, downtown and airport (everything we need seemed to be about 15-20 minutes car drive away), but the only thing we did not realize until we started jogging around the next morning is that the neighborhood did not feel 100% safe.  We were obviously fine inside the house and when we were driving around but not a place we would necessarily walk around on our own.  Otherwise, everything was great and we had a very memorable trip in Austin!"
174828,25701349,2015-01-23,5560041,Peggy,"We really enjoyed our stay here!  The house was super comfortable and met all our needs.  Being so close to the train stop (a 5-7 minute walk) was really helpful and the quiet neighborhood offered a nice place to take our evening walk (lots of families pushing strollers, kids riding bikes, people jogging, etc).  If you’re looking for a quaint place conveniently close to so much of what Austin has to offer, you can’t go wrong with this house."
174828,26918371,2015-02-22,25908344,John,"Beautiful home! Our stay was exceptionally comfortable with all amenties as described on the listing. I highly recommend Jeny's home as ""your home away from home."""
174828,27266736,2015-03-01,26652334,Anisha,"The apartment was as represented, and left in great condition for our stay. Jenny was really helpful, and answered all questions that made our stay there seamless. Everything we needed was available, and easy to use. I will definitely consider staying there again!

"
174828,27576651,2015-03-08,14477874,Sebastien,Jenny defines hospitality. She made sure that our group was welcome throughout the entirety of our stay. She was extremely professional and courteous. The directions and information about her property were clear and concise. Communication between our group and Jenny was easy and succinct. I strongly recommend this property and I look forward to the next time I'm in Austin so that I can stay at this property once more.
174828,28312376,2015-03-22,26137427,Manny,Jenny was a great host! The information on the description was accurate no hidden fees or surprises. She responded quick to every question and the house was very beautiful and cozy. Will definitely be coming back here when I am in Austin. Thank you!
174828,28794998,2015-03-30,26016747,Jimmy,Jenny was awesome. She was there whenever we had a question about the house. The house was so cool.
174828,29724655,2015-04-12,25863829,Meredith,We loved our stay here! There only ended up being 5 girls out of the original 8 I thought were coming and Jenny worked with us on getting our reservation all worked out and I really appreciated it. House was very clean and not too far from all the action! Would definitely recommend this listing!
174828,30189877,2015-04-19,26623377,Anna,Everything was great! The house was so cute and the set up was wonderful! Jenny was very helpful preparing the house for our stay! 
174828,30680197,2015-04-26,28466783,Kunal,Jenny's house was conveniently located near major arteries of the city.  The home is very comfortable and well appointed.  Jenny was very organized and accommodated our need for early check-in.  It was a perfect venue for our weekend trip.  
174828,31248627,2015-05-03,31743998,Leland,"Jenny's home was the perfect place for our friends-reunion in Austin. Just as in the photos, the house was beautifully decorated, very comfortable, and the backyard area was delightful -- we spent most of our time out there. Jenny was extremely responsive and had great suggestions for local restaurants and activities."
174828,31894226,2015-05-11,11789422,Sloane,Two friends and I stayed at this house for a weekend get away with our daughters and their friends. Everything was absolutely wonderful!!! The house is adorable and everything was perfect! 
174828,32410830,2015-05-17,750344,Marc,Wonderful home! Jenny was great in helping our group get in and out easily. She responded promptly to all of my messages was really friendly & helpful. We had a blast staying at her home in Austin!
174828,33070636,2015-05-25,27371840,Helen,"We felt very welcome. The house was exactly as described, and neat as a pin. We were in Austin celebrating my daughter's birthday and our host had a ""Happy Birthday"" banner for her in the kitchen and also left her a birthday card. The neighborhood was cute and very convenient for getting into downtown Austin to see the sites."
174828,35683542,2015-06-21,32529592,Kyle Christopher,"We had a great time staying at Jenny's home, and all eight of us were more than comfortable. Jenny went out of her way to let me know that we could use her birthday banner, and even put matches aside for my friend's birthday cake. She was out of town when we arrived, but made it simple of us to get inside on our own. Because we had some terrible weather, we weren't able to enjoy the cute outdoor space, but I can only image how nice that area might be on sunny days!

If we visit Austin again, I will absolutely contact Jenny in the future. "
174828,37980262,2015-07-12,33865053,Justin,Jenny was a great host and made the entire stay very easy and relaxing. The house is beautiful and had plenty of space for me and my family. The outdoor area was fantastic. The location was close to downtown and also had many options in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this home to any family staying in Austin. 
174828,40758571,2015-08-02,35793871,Shirley,The house was wonderful and very clean and neat.  Jenny was very easy to get a hold of and great to work with.  
174828,41795131,2015-08-09,32271441,Kim,"I booked this wonderful home for my bachelorette weekend. I had 8 girls and 1 guy...lol..the guy was one of best friends who offered to take care of us for the weekend, driving, running errands, etc. so it was hard to refuse the offer...Anywho, long story short, we were all awesomely comfortable. I definitely don't recommend anymore than 10 people, there were 4 bedrooms, and we made the living room into one room for my guy friend w/ an airbed. Otherwise, everything described about the place had fit to a tee, the neighborhood wasn't bad, it's just your cute lil' typical Austin neighborhood.  I couldn't ask for more, it was just what we were looking for. Unfortunately our host was unable to be at the house this past weekend while we were there, but she was helpful enough to keep in touch with us via phone/email. I definitely would book this house again for an Austin trip with a group, it's totally worth it! "
174828,43970562,2015-08-23,1472293,Cathy,"I rented the house for a group of women to meet centrally for a weekend visit. 
The house meet all our expectations,
Very clean, comfortable, wonderfully decorated. 
I cooked a meal Friday pm and had everything I needed to make our meal easily."
174828,45076298,2015-08-31,18249046,Angel,"Jenny was great, and her lovely home was even better!  The place was beautifully laid out and situated close enough to 'get to' Austin, while still being far away to relax and unwind.  My family and in-laws loved it--I'd stay there again for sure!!"
174828,46017627,2015-09-07,37950559,Vicky,"Although Jenny couldn't be there when we arrived, the notebook she left was very helpful with house rules and local recommendations. The neighborhood is quiet and the location, while a little north of downtown, is convenient to I-35 and makes for easy driving. The home was warm and inviting. "
174828,46697258,2015-09-13,10358478,Yanti,"House was spacious, quiet and perfect for our reunion. The backyard area was a treat and a wonderful place to sit and talk."
174828,47960512,2015-09-22,35025797,Kari,House was very comfortable and a short walk to the train station making the location convenient to get downtown.  Jenny checked in by email and offered suggestions for where to eat and what to see.
174828,49420208,2015-10-04,8302783,Pam,"We had such a great stay! I traveled to Austin for my bachelorette party with 7 other girls. The house accommodated us all perfectly. And we definitely took advantage of the amazing patio. The house was in a great location as well. The neighborhood was clean and quiet, and a short Uber ride to downtown, etc. Jenny gave us great need-to-know tidbits about the house and Austin. While we did not need to contact Jenny during our stay, we knew she was available to answer any and all questions. Needless to say, we loved our stay and would definitely stay again!   "
174828,50145615,2015-10-09,8063993,Jan,"Jenny is a very friendly and helpful host.  She offers suggestions for things to do all over town.  The patio is lovely and a great spot for conversation. And coffee or drinks.  The house is comfortable and very clean and provided us with everything we needed to prepare meals, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and  the neighbors unobtrusive.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
174828,50432837,2015-10-12,4930628,Callie,"Jenny's home was lovely! It was perfect for our bachelorette weekend with eight people. We enjoyed hanging out on the patio, around the island in the kitchen, or in the living room. The house is about a 15 -20 minute ride into the city, so easy to experience all Austin has to offer. "
174828,51119908,2015-10-18,39145323,Deena,"Jenny was awesome to work with start to finish. This being my first Airbnb experience she was very patient with me from booking to signing the agreement and everything else. Unfortunately Jenny was not able to meet us at the house, but she left me detailed instructions on how to get to the house as well as how to get into the house. Once inside she had a nicely laid out binder for us which included check in/check out times, recycling info, and much more. The house was in a quiet neighborhood about 20 minutes to downtown Austin. Jenny gave me detailed directions to any of the local places for food and what not after she learned we were not going to have a car. The house was immaculately kept and had a great outside space. There were plenty of clean towels and extra blankets. Jenny was a dream to work with and her house is perfect for a trip down to Austin. "
174828,51560983,2015-10-21,5560041,Peggy,"Once again, another fantastic stay.  Love it every time I come!"
174828,52671916,2015-11-01,7355573,Gail,"Hi Jenny,
We loved the outdoor seating area! The house accommodated us well. 
A couple of concerns we had. 
-no hangers! We were going to wedding events and we couldn't hang clothes. That's basic
-lack of pillows in smaller bedrooms
-one garbage bag left
-recycling was so full that it was difficult to put ours in.

8389854,47887505,2015-09-21,37339462,Logan,We were greeted by Rebecca when we arrived and she's bowed us around the apartment. I found the listing to be accurate. The area was quiet but a short walk / Uber ride away from fun :)
8389854,48617147,2015-09-27,15578927,Nadia,Great hosts!
8389854,49259114,2015-10-02,7012339,Hallie,Thanks Rebecca!
8389854,49686508,2015-10-05,44182668,Lorina,It was a great studio apt located perfectly in Austin. we were in Austin for ACL and it was close enough to the park downtown but far enough from all the traffic.  The complex was quiet and safe.
8389854,50102673,2015-10-09,17431110,Christy,"Could not have been a more perfect Texas getaway! Rebecca's place was clean, super comfortable and cozy with all the necessary amenities and she was sure to be available to answer all questions and make suggestions. Neighborhood is quiet, yet very close to trendy shops and restaurants ($6-8 lyft) on S Congress and also downtown. Felt right at home, hope to come back soon!"
8389854,50501349,2015-10-12,43230035,Robert,Our experience was great.  Rebecca's place was clean and cozy.  She left helpful notes to make our experience more comfortable.  The apartment was located close to downtown and was very convenient for going to ACL.  I will definitely look for this location again.  This was my first Airbnb experience and a great one.  Thank you Rebecca.
8389854,51202815,2015-10-18,16333707,Greg,"She was very accommodating, even brought by fresh towels."
8389854,51566593,2015-10-21,33760686,Kyton,Cozy little Austin get away. Very convenient to food bus lines and freeway. With a help guide from the host definitely better then staying in a hotel. 
8389854,52187003,2015-10-26,17176398,Rachel,"My boyfriend and I were looking for a convenient place to stay while in Austin for a wedding, and we greatly enjoyed our stay at Rebecca's apartment. The apartment was clean and exactly as described, more than enough space just for two people.  Rebecca was prompt in communicating with us on logistics for arrival and departure and made us feel welcome. The location was convenient and parking was available right outside."
8389854,52388296,2015-10-28,46774705,Christina,Rebecca's place was perfect! It was close to the SoCo neighborhood but not in the crazy hustle and bustle. It was a great value and really nice to have the space to ourselves. Rebecca left detailed notes about her place for us. We'd stay here again for sure. 
8389854,52640663,2015-10-31,46027364,Kristen,"It was a lovely, quaint place to stay off of south congress in Austin. Rebecca provided everything needed and gave easy instructions. Great first experience. "

8237618,50714425,2015-10-13,4058230,Azeem,Chris was an amazing host and communicated all the details very efficiently both on and off line.   He made sure the room was set when I arrived and helped me giving various local details during the trip.  I felt perfectly at home.    
8237618,51502559,2015-10-20,46361722,Grace,"Staying at Chris's house was great he was a great host and very accommodating, well worth what I paid, excellent location, everything was perfect would definitely stay again"

During the storm Chris made sure I was doing okay and safe.
Central neighborhood, close to UT and 20 min walking distance to downtown.
Great place!"

333442,2757412,2012-10-29,3330874,Paul,Virginia's home is wonderful and in a fantastic private location that is very conveniently located near town. We had a wonderful stay and Virginia was a fantastic host!
333442,3166968,2012-12-27,2229634,Austin,"I needed a place for my extended family to stay at while in Austin for Christmas. Virginia's home was in such a beautiful secluded location, but only 5 minutes from downtown. It is a beautiful home, warm, cozy, and eclectic. I would highly recommend staying with her. "
333442,3964105,2013-03-31,5337283,Paul,"A characterful and charming hideaway - very close the the heart of the city, yet tucked away in a leafy, quiet and private enclave. Perfect for a romantic mini-getaway. Thank you Virginia for your friendly welcome and kind hospitality."
333442,4221251,2013-04-20,5038335,Cyndi,"This is an awesome home if you like older homes with character.  I loved the back yard with the pool and the eating area off the back of the house.  The antiques are beautiful and it felt like going back in tie with all the modern day conveniences.  We had a small SUV so managing the driveway was a breeze, not sure how a small car would fair.  I love the feel of the garden, if you love unstructured natural gardens and peace and quiet then I definitely would recommend this house.  I will be using it again when returning to Austin.  Thank you Virginia for an incredible stay...truly a home away from home experience....."
333442,4615628,2013-05-15,2207895,Andria,"Our 2 families had such a lovely week at Virginia's property.  The home and grounds have so much privacy and seclusion that it's easy to forget you're only a 5 minute drive to downtown!  Such a nice change from other places we've stayed in the past where we had to battle traffic and leave too early for conventions and work.  This property was a wonderful change!!

Virginia's hospitality is just exceptional.  In addition to providing the standard property owner amenities, she's available and accessible quickly and goes above and beyond to make you feel like not just a patron, but a guest.

There were so many things about Virginia's home we loved--the pool, the home itself, the lovely way it lent itself to entertaining with gorgeous high ceilings, a glorious stone porch, and all the cooking and grilling items we needed.  

I can't wait to stay at Virginia's property again.  :)"
333442,4872047,2013-05-30,481215,John,"What a great place!  We had a mini reunion in Austin with my old High School buddies and their wives. Everyone was charmed with the house and location.  It was just perfect for us. It was clean, comfortable and quiet, we especially enjoyed the enclosed porch/sunroom off of the dinning room, a great place to lounge, snack and chat. The pool was great, with a very nice deck and chairs for sitting around. Morning and evening swims were very popular and easy. We only saw Virginia when we first arrived and when we asked for something, perfect. She was very welcoming and gracious and her description of the place is right on. 
Make no mistake, it is not a modern house, but it has most modern amenities and many unique features and accouterments.  Virginia will point them out with their stories if you are interested.   Thanks again Virginia. We had a great time!   "
333442,5091007,2013-06-11,6170394,Stacey,The reservation was canceled 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
333442,7881741,2013-10-07,5724149,Abigail,"Virginia was an amazing host.  She was upbeat and had a very positive energy to her.  She made sure that the home was very, very clean before we arrived, and gave me a good tour around the house so I knew where to find everything.  Virginia also gave us suggestions as to local restaurants and music, and left sheets in the kitchen detailing where to find the closest restaurants, grocery store, liquor store, etc.; that was very helpful.  Virginia was also responsive and checked in with me via text messages to make sure that my friends and I were comfortable and okay.

Along with Virginia's kindness and graciousness, the house itself is beautiful and has tons of character.  The backyard and porch were particularly wonderful for enjoying Austin's warm climate, yet having a lot of privacy!  HIghly, highly recommended."
333442,9595226,2014-01-03,9830032,Leslie,"Virginia was fantastic! She was super accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed from towels to ample space to sleep (we had a big group), to anything you could have imagined. She even offered to drive us to the bar! 

We loved the house. It was perfect for our big, slightly rowdy New Years' group. We would be thrilled to come back here and stay. Between the firepit, the pool, the trampoline, and the space to roam, everything was perfect. We had a blast! "
333442,10935316,2014-03-14,2646164,Tesaira,"Virginia is a great host, very sweet and pleasant. She made me feel at ease when I booked. She was easy to reach if I had a question. She was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed - from clean towels, to toiletries and coffee. We were very pleased. We got a great deal!"
333442,11788761,2014-04-15,8730568,Eleanor,What a delight! The house was charming and Virginia a wonderful hostess. It could not have been a better experience. We look forward to going back!
333442,14311744,2014-06-16,16143093,Greg,"Virginia was very pleasant, only seen her when we arrived and she gave us complete privacy after! The property was exactly as described, it was great!!"
333442,15314046,2014-07-07,9743395,Tatiana And Oscar,"Virginia was a great host! She is very sweet and attentive. The house was good and the location was just great! We were very close to Lake Austin, downtown, uptown, etc. It was great jumping in the pool after spending the afternoon walking around in Austin, and then doing some grilling poolside at night. 
They only thing that keeps me from rating the house as great is that I think the house need some major cleaning. I understand it's an old house but there are spiderwebs everywhere and unfortunately we found several undesirable bugs (if you know what I mean). "
333442,16000136,2014-07-20,11110188,Julie,"Virginia kindly greeted us at the door and ran through the house rules, showed us around, and was available throughout the week if needed.  Location was awesome, close to Lake Austin, Mount Bonnell, downtown and MoPac.   We lived in Austin 8 years and we know the bugs are bigger in TX, but we had more bugs in one week than we had in 8 years.  Virgina was quick to spray when she brought up the topic (twice), but for a rental property of this caliber, professional exterminator service is necessary. The house is  old and eclectic, and it could use some TLC. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Nice pool. Everything functioned properly."
333442,23521786,2014-12-03,3274953,John,"Our Thanksgiving stay at the Pratt Estate was very enjoyable. With family coming in from all over the country we had as many as 8 people staying at the house and it didn't feel crowded. And when there were only the 3 of us, the house felt way too big — I wouldn't stay here with less than 5 or 6.

The location can't be beat. From the house it's only about a minute to Loop 1 which gets you anywhere you want to go. Mayfield Park, one of my favorites on Earth, is within walking distance.

Probably the best thing about the place is the host, Virginia. We mention coffee and coffee magically appears. We *think* firewood, and firewood magically appears. She stays in the ""casita"" next door but never made herself seem intrusive or nosy.

The pool looked very clean however we never used it because it was too cold.

The bed in the master bedroom was very comfy and we slept soundly each night.

The only negative feedback:
- There are places in the living room (carpet) that smell like cat pee. I'm sure this can be cleaned up.
- Much of the house is lacking in windows/sunlight and the lights need to be on during the day, at least this time of the year. If you thrive on sunlight and bright spaces you might want to consider this."
333442,28246487,2015-03-21,7522688,Victoria,Virginia was very welcoming and friendly and a great host!  Her home was the best weekend getaway for our bridal party.  Everyone was impressed with the beauty of the property and how unique the home was. I only wish we could've stayed longer!
333442,30316092,2015-04-20,13898005,Andrew,"I cannot explain how amazing our experience was with Virginia and her estate in this review and serve it justice without writing a novel. My wife and I are Austin local and we had several of our closest friends visit from out of town for a Dadchelor/Momchelorette Party weekend. We had 9 guests total stay there for 2 nights (including 3 couples) and there was more than enough visiting space, privacy for each guest, and sleeping arrangements for all of us. 
We enjoyed sitting and chatting in the sunroom during the mornings and evenings, hanging out in the living room at night, and relaxing by the pool during the day. Each room and area of the estate had its own unique charm. 
Virginia was an incredible host, she is very sweet and cheerful. She helped us ""check in"" and showed us the house and amenities, then she gave us our privacy for the remaining of our stay. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Austin or any locals looking for a great place to have a staycation. "
333442,33364050,2015-05-27,14018857,Hakim,"Virginia was absolutely fantastic...from the minute we connected online to the minute we left the house in Austin. We stayed in close contact and she was great about letting us check in just a bit early since our flights got in early and then let us check out a little late on our last day because we had late flights. She was so sweet and accommodating throughout the entire process and our stay - she even went out and bought us a new grill/smoker to replace the old one before we arrived. She was there to welcome us all when we arrived and showed us around the property, then let us enjoy the house the rest of the time without issue or disturbance. 

Despite the pretty stormy weather, we got to enjoy the pool and it was great. The patio was so awesome with all the lights and tiki torches all lit up, the house had such charm, history and character and it was SO peaceful. You can could tell it was a ""lived in"" house, but not so much that you couldn't get comfortable or feel at home yourself - quite the contrary. The kitchen had everything that you needed and we used it a lot actually. The stone sun room was where we spent so much of our time - playing cards, drinking, talking, hanging out. The bedrooms and beds themselves were comfortable and it was really nice (and necessary) to have 3 full bathrooms for a big group. There were 8 of us at first, then 6 and we all had plenty of room to cook, eat, chill, sleep, rest and relax when we weren’t out around town. Also, given the temps outside and us coming in and out of the house all weekend, the AC was great and kept everyone cool and comfortable the entire time. 

Lastly, the location could not be beat - right off Route 1.  We did a lot of driving around the area (Salt Lick, Lake Travis, downtown, to friends' houses, etc.) and it was always so easy to get on/off the highway. Not to mention there are also grocery stores and other places (pharmacy, Starbucks, etc) very nearby. I would highly recommend staying in this beautiful secluded home if you get a chance. It really made the trip! Thank you, Virginia! "
333442,36543032,2015-06-29,14768783,Meredith,"Virginia is an amazing host, and this is a gem of a property in the heart of central Austin! Built by Virginia's grandfather, who helped establish the Plan II program at UT Austin, it's definitely got some old Austin charm. Incredible private outdoor space complete with 2 outdoor grills, as well lots of private rooms indoors, made it the perfect setting for our party. We never even left the premises. Make sure to tell your group to carpool ahead of time if you expect a lot of cars."
333442,38113568,2015-07-13,15832793,Lori,"Virginia's estate was the perfect place for our bachelorette weekend! The house is the epitome of a Austin abode - nestled in the hillside with nature abound and refreshing pool to remedy the Austin heat. We had 8 ladies comfortably enjoy this house - spacious, relaxing, just the best. For anyone looking for an true Austin experience, book this place! Virginia was close by for any needs and extremely helpful in getting us settled. She even stocked the fridge with water, beer, and coffee. Just perfection! Thank you Virginia!"
333442,43031740,2015-08-17,32210339,Jordan,"Virginia's house was absolutely fantastic.  The house is spacious, incredibly relaxing, and perfect for a large family or group.  The house was so large and well laid-out that everyone in our group (8 total) slept comfortably on their own.  We never felt like we were on top of each other and had plenty of space.  The pool area is wonderful and we spent most of the day outside.  The entire property exudes Austin charm.   

Our group came to Austin for a guy's weekend with big plans to explore the area.  Instead, we found the house to be so comfortable that we only left once for groceries. 

 Virginia was incredible and kept in touch throughout the entire process.  I would gladly stay at this property again.  Thank you!"
333442,46140408,2015-09-08,16347571,New,"I brought 7 ladies from the Midwest to Austin for a bachelorette party and I'd have to say that Virginia did not disappoint.  The house was absolutely amazing, and exactly what the bachelorette was hoping for.  The pool was an awesome thing to have to escape the heat and just to relax before or after our outings.  Virginia bent over backwards to make sure everything was going well and answered all of my texts before and during our stay.  I will definitely recommend this house to anyone and hope to return some day!"
333442,49760600,2015-10-06,28161176,Mark,"The home is very comfortable, well appointed and clean. It is centrally located and close to the major Austin attractions."
333442,51467126,2015-10-20,44930208,Robin,"It was spacious yet cozy. We felt right at home & enjoyed the home. It's convenient location made shopping & dining easy, too."
4156746,40042148,2015-07-27,8113278,Daniel,"Great location, super quiet while being very close to the action. Hannah is a great communicator and very helpful."
4156746,41687982,2015-08-08,13263900,Marlo,"Hannah's place is super cute.  Although we didn't get a chance to meet her in person, her communication was timely and helpful.  The complex is small and charming, and the neighbors seemed very relaxed and friendly.  The location is very central - less than a 1 minute drive from a major highway.  There's an onsite laundry and a spot to walk the dog.  The pool was a very welcome bonus!"
4156746,49608577,2015-10-05,39973182,Julio,"Hannah was a great host and we are grateful we found such a great place. Although we did not get a chance to speak to Hannah in person,  our communication was 5 star. Hannah was always attentive and always willing to give tips and advice around the area. She made our checkin-in and checkin-out very seamless. The apartment was just as described and our expectations were exceeded; the apartment will make you feel right at home! The area is super quiet and lots of trees around you. Hannah's place was not far away from downtown and if we needed to go out and about, we had easy access to the highway. Our stay was very relaxing and super pleasant.  I would definitely recommend her and would love to stay at Hannah's place in the future.  :D"
4156746,52311789,2015-10-28,38860898,Archie,"We enjoyed staying at Hannah's while we visited Austin. It was very close to some of my favorite places to eat, hear music, and hang out. 
Just the right size for a wonderful week in my favorite city. 
Hope to come back in April and stay here.
Thanks, Hannah!!! "
5840234,49089688,2015-09-30,45320059,Nir,The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2716088,40594496,2015-08-01,32850550,Cecile,We have very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. The owners are very responsive and helpful. Our children especially enjoy all the toys and the converted playroom. It's like they have their own little wing in the condo. We also enjoy the pool and the proximity to lots of hotspots in Austin.
2716088,45292899,2015-09-01,32850550,Cecile,"We ended up extending our stay in this rental and have really enjoyed it. It's in a very convenient location and the owners have been awesome to work with. This place is especially great if you have children. They basically have their own ""wing"" in the condo complete with a huge bedroom, their own full bath and a playroom. It's made staying longer term here with kids very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this place to friends visiting Austin!"
2716088,48751414,2015-09-28,42914036,Martha,"Beautiful, cozy home"
2716088,50287120,2015-10-11,33222731,Su,"Great place to stay, close to highway, close to a lot of things, downtown is only 15 min away. Very good location. The apartment have everything you needed, the host is very helpful and respond very quickly when I needed help. The nursery is the best, a crib and tons of toys for kids to play with, there is also a kids table in the bedroom. My son enjoined his room a lot. The house is very clean and have all the essential you need. The vacuum runs every day around noon, you don't even have to worry about cleaning the house which is great. High recommended. We had a great week staying at this place.  "
2716088,51627678,2015-10-22,6355872,Martha,"We had a wonderful time at Vanessa's place in Austin, specially since we were traveling with small children, and the toy room was a Hit!
I would definitely recommend her place for families or groups. it is in a very nice area of the town, close to shopping and good restaurants. 
Thanks Vanessa!"
2515481,10972032,2014-03-15,1117047,Daniel,"I stayed at Jordan's for SXSW music festival. The place is on east downtown, about a 5 block walk, not too bad. The neighborhood is a little sketchy but since there were a lot of people walking that was ok.

The bed in that room is AMAZING, but the room had no curtains. I think Jordan just bought the place because you could see they were still remodeling. Would stay there again."
2515481,11290148,2014-03-28,2906527,Nicola,"Juliet has been the most gracious, accommodating and hospitable host to us since our extended stay in Austin. The majority of our elongated stay here is due to our home away from home - Juliet's East Austin B&B. (seriously, it's like we're never going to leave here!).  It's located in one of the best parts of town, and in one of the most charming homes we've seen (i'm a sucker for airstreams). We basically took over the front room while they were renovating, it's all freshly painted and the memory foam mattresses are more comfy than any bed i've ever slept on. Will be very sad to leave this place and will be sure to book any time we are back in town! (unless we move here) x"
2515481,11576759,2014-04-07,12363858,Christopher,Great time!  Loved being so close to 6th Street and all the great music.  Great setup with parking and all the necessary amenities.  Thanks Juliet!
2515481,11732015,2014-04-13,1644968,Sean,"Juliet was a great hostess from my stay in Austin.  I was in and out on a Friday night as I had an early flight out on Saturday.  Everything was easy and accessible and I had no issues whatsoever.  Juliet also accommodated me on last minute notice and was very responsive in getting everything set up.  Thanks for all of your help, Juliet."
2515481,11758538,2014-04-14,13322973,Dara,"Stayed in one of the bedrooms, great location. Close to Rainey street area. Accommodations were as pictured and clean. All went smoothly and hosts were responsive. Would stay at their location again. "
2515481,12165270,2014-04-24,14104280,Stacey,"My stay here was decent. On the positive side, I LOVED the location/neighborhood. Totally funky and not in downtown/anywhere close to the manic 6th street vibe, but still close in enough that you can use the city's bike share and transit and get around easily. The street the house is on is quiet and close to lots of funky little eateries (my fave was the nearby Cenote for breakfast/brunch, within a close walk). Since this is really a house with a caretaker who rents out the three rooms and airstream, you might like this if you are actually preferring a somewhat anonymous stay. On the downside, quite a few things. Most notably in reference to my room (#3), the room is tiny, like not even big enough to open a suitcase on the floor. The description on air bnb mainly describes the bed and now I know why. The room (and the house itself) are absolutely bare bones - literally white walls with no decor at all and extremely limited furnishings. I was dismayed to arrive very late at night only to find that my room had no light switch (bulb had to be somewhat dangerously screwed in and out for light - I complained about it and they installed a pull cord on the bulb before I left several days later, so at least that has been fixed). Also, #3 has no closet or shelves or anything, just a bare white room with a bed in it that takes up almost the whole room and somewhat depressing views out the gray curtained windows into the yard, which apparently they have plans for but was full of flotsam while I was there. There was an empty cheap metal rack in the room with no hangers. I borrowed some from another guest down the hall and commandeered a dusty bookshelf from the living room to act as shelves in my room, which sufficed and made things much more liveable. I also had an open electrical plate in my room that had wires sticking out, which they sort of fixed while I was there. Living room was completely barren during my visit, no furniture at all (except dusty bookshelf that I used in my room). Bathroom is fine though a little dingy. I think/hope they are in the process of redoing things? Finally, my host Juliet was nice, but I never did meet her. And weirdly, I got reviewed by the new manager Julia (positive), who I never met and never heard of. It looks like they rotate managers often, based on the other reviews. Also, know that up to 4 or more guests (3 rooms plus airstream) may share the same single bathroom (not a problem on my stay, but something to note). Overall, I loved the location and space was just OK. I think rooms #1 and #2 would be better."
2515481,12564468,2014-05-05,14176139,Grace,"Juliet apparently changes identity from time to time.  Now she has become Julia, and I see a review from a previous guest that calls her Jordan.  She was unavailable by phone or in person from 2 days before our scheduled arrival.  We never met her.  Instead, we found a filthy room, dirty sheets on the bed, with no clean sheets available.  
Note that the house has 3 rooms for rent, plus a trailer for rent, and no locks on the bedroom doors.  
The bathroom was equally dirty and unacceptable.  We have photographs of these conditions.  The cleaning woman was there when we arrived, but she said that she does not clean bedrooms or bathroom.  She said, ""that is Juliet's responsibility and she is not doing what she should.""  We called Juliet to figure out what to do, and she texted that she was busy until 10:30pm and could call at that time.  We found another hotel, and we have not recovered our reservation payment yet.  
The house is not properly finished with construction.  There are multiple building code violations, and Room #3 is quite depressing - it is the size of a closet, no decor or furnishing other than a bed, with a bare ceramic bulb that has no operable switch."
2515481,12728683,2014-05-09,8770189,Sandijs,"I stayed there for couple of days. The house is nice, loved that the doors have doorknobs with code (no keys needed). Was a little confusing as I wasn't expecting that in each room guests are changing almost every night. A big problem was the safety – in a room next to mine window got smashed twice. No air conditioning in the room I was staying. Besides that I would recommend it!"
2515481,12867573,2014-05-12,2961318,Erin,"We stayed in room #3 - the bed was comfortable, the room was clean, and Julia provided two towels for us. However, there didn't seem to be any air conditioning in the room and it was so stuffy and hot... we were there in early May so I can't imagine the summer! 

The house is in a great location and we had no problem communicating with Julia and the person she has helping out with the property. It did seem a bit overpriced for what you're getting though, especially compared to my other airbnb experiences in the neighborhood."
2515481,13055327,2014-05-18,9241069,James,"Simple accommodation, no frills but clean and friendly. Very minimal security, so would not advise bringing anything valuable with you. 

Was a little confused on arrival since neither Julia or Jordan are the actual point of contact - it was Sara! Nevertheless Sara was friendly and helpful."
2515481,13435495,2014-05-27,9265547,Rick,"The 3rd room was pretty much a bed and four walls with a freestanding clothing rack and a small side table for a lamp.  The doors are all code-unlocked, which was nice as I ended up getting in at 2:45am on my first night and left at 6am on the  last morning, so I didn't feel like I was inconveniencing anyone.  

I was out for the National Brewskee-Ball Championships the entire time, so I literally only was in the house to sleep and shower, so an inexpensive, no-frills option was perfect for me.  

The only reason I took off a star was that the room was super hot at night with the door closed (I kept it shut as I had no idea who else was staying in the house) and the windows opened up to street level with no screens, so I didn't want to get torn up by bugs.  The rest of the unit was air conditioned, but my room wasn't, so the first night was a lot of tossing and turning.  Other than that, it's a great option for someone who just needs a bed to crash on!"
2515481,14067736,2014-06-10,5836496,Jim,"This place is exactly what I needed. A clean place to crash with access anytime and clean sheets. Julia was accommodating when my schedule changed and I needed to come a day early. 

Easy access downtown to Rainey, 6th Street and the Congress bats. 

Thanks so much! "
2515481,15289487,2014-07-06,17222443,Adrien,"Julia wasn't here but I was able to talk to her friend by email, and she answered to all my emails and really quickly. Even if I was late with my friend we got to the place, (something like midnight), her friend told us that it wasn't a problem, and she just gave to us the code to get inside the house (no keys!). Calm area, really near from downtown, and close to 6th street with a lot of bars and live concerts. You can go to downtown in 20 minutes by bike (8 dollars for 24 hours) or by bus (2 dollars only). 

If I don't put 5 stars, it's just because I would say that room 1 is really small. I don't know about rooms 2 and 3.

If you don't want to be completly downtown, I think this private room has a descent price, good location, and also it's really clean.



"
2515481,17076397,2014-08-06,16299655,Oliver,Julia's place was great. Very comfortable and cosy. Sara and Jordan who were co hosting were really helpful for folks like me who are new in town. Will get in touch again when return! Thanks guys. 
2515481,18220762,2014-08-23,16462843,Siegfried,"
Julia's place is a perfect place to stay near dowtown ..... everything was clean and quiet neighborhood also ....I recommend this place to anybody !!!"
2515481,18752742,2014-08-31,19870824,Jeff,"Julia has a very cute house, just a few blocks away from a great cafe (Cenote), all the fun on 6th street, and a $5 ride from the big hotels downtown. 

I didn't get to meet Julia personally, but I appreciated the electronic keypads, felt very safe."
2515481,18868523,2014-09-01,20764901,Brittney,"Our experience with Julia was awesome. Better than a hotel and perfect walking distance to coffee, bars, and dancing. Place was chill. "
2515481,19249155,2014-09-08,8777531,Shana,"Julia made Airbnb so simple! Perfect for my frist stay & inspired me to list my spot in SF. Location was good, about a mile from 6th street downtown area and even closer to rainey bars/restaurants. I had a blast. Thanks Julia, wish I was able to meet you in person!"
2515481,19794697,2014-09-18,2488223,JoAntonio,"I arrived a few days after the agreed time and left a day early, so I didn't have the opportunity to meet Julia (or the host). I spent most of the time at Cenote Cafe, which is a great coffee only 2 blocks away from the house. This place is located in a great place. Walking distance to 6th st where all the tourist magic happens but also walking distance to rainy street where you can see a lot of locals. "
2515481,21081368,2014-10-11,18134790,Ben,I didn't meet Julia but the place was simple and clean with a comfy bed.  Julia always answered all queries very promptly. 
2515481,21252737,2014-10-13,22106530,Denise,Julia is very quick with responding to my emails. The room is a bit small but it's comfortable. It's right by the bathroom which was great. The location is very conveniently located to lots of Austin tourist attractions. My very first Airbnb and it was a great experience. 
2515481,21551028,2014-10-19,21015628,Karl,"Great place to say! Didn't meet Julia as I was not there much.

Bed was comfortable and house was clean."
2515481,21774427,2014-10-23,22242003,Shelby,"We were very happy with our stay at Julia's BnB. Notably, the bed was ridiculously comfortable, there is a full kitchen, combination locks for each separate room, and the location was a quick cab ride from plenty of exciting Austin bars(so quick, in fact, that we could have walked). Overall, this was a great place to rest after a long drive and a bit of exploring Austin. "
2515481,23287573,2014-11-27,16667741,Alberto,I really enjoyed my stay there. Very comfy and next to a lot of great spots. We would really recommend this to anyone passing through.
2515481,23657281,2014-12-07,10901136,Tyler,Good!  Clean! And the bed is amazingly comfortable
2515481,24169439,2014-12-21,7620279,Jan,"Julia was a great host. Very easy to communicate and accommodating to my stay and my changes in plans, and the bed is ridiculously comfortable. For the price? Location location location. Great stay in Austin. House is as pictured, and a great nights rest."
2515481,24507854,2014-12-29,4477073,Thomas,"Everything was great. The apartment has a number lock at the door and a number lock for each of the three rooms, so getting into the room is easy and safe. Good location, about 20mins walk to downtown, and a coffee shop (Cenote) and food truck are nearby within 5mins walking. The internet was working, there's a water filter in the kitchen. The room has an AC and working heater"
2515481,25301426,2015-01-11,25726148,Donald,"This is an overpriced AirBNB flophouse.  $50 would be more like it.

Pros:
1) Comfortable bed
2) Beer in fridge
3) Living room space
4) Close to Downtown
5) Good WIFI

Cons:
1) Overpriced
2) Tiny room barely big enough for a queen bed
3) No central heating (or AC). On a cold weekend in Austin, I had to manage a portable heater that left the room too hot or too cold.
4) Sketchy electrical wiring.  There were outlets dangling from the walls and uprotected wiring.  The room had no lightswitch and minimal outlets.  Seemed unsafe.
5) The house generally felt like a hastily flipped ""airBNB shack"".  The doors did not close properly, everything felt slapped together.
6) No TV.

Except for proximity to Downtown and the mattress, Motel 6 would have been a better value. "
2515481,25577016,2015-01-19,19286083,Tuyen,Great location! Clean apartment! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin!
2515481,25730705,2015-01-24,1192184,Brian,"Check-in and check-out was very easy and host was very friendly. Gave plenty of personal recommendations and was happy to answer plenty of questions about the area. Super hospitable. The room was as shown - quite small, but the bed was super comfortable, heater worked fine, etc. It was exactly as I expected and the kind hosts were a nice bonus."
2515481,26845082,2015-02-20,7666039,Ivan,Very good place to stay! Thanks Julia!
2515481,28767781,2015-03-29,6778181,Ben,Great
2515481,29246908,2015-04-05,15938787,Ravi,Very convenient and simple. Well worth the price.
2515481,31405217,2015-05-04,10796266,Galina,"The listing description was partially accurate. The place is a run down old house in East Austin that has windows that don't lock, a door that has a 1/2"" space between the door and the floor, a restroom that is shared with 7 other people, and the bed had not been cleaned before my arrival so I had to go out and purchase sheets. 
What's more, Julia does not live on the property. She owns a couple of property and rents them out full time to Airbnb so it's more like a hostel than a private place. #disappointed"
2515481,32305775,2015-05-16,33446811,James,"The place was cute and clean. I loved the keypad door handles, and the very comfortable bed. 1 mile from 6th St. and Rainey St. Made it a perfect location. Thanks Julie!"
2515481,32439868,2015-05-17,33363604,Lauren,"Everything was great. This was my first airbnb experience. Julia made everything super easy and convenient. It was just was I was looking for. It was close to downtown and a great little neighborhood. 

I highly recommend a stay here. "
2515481,33339587,2015-05-26,31247012,Rachel,"Way too expensive for the worth. The room felt claustrophobic & strangers walking around the house made it a bit weird. I booked last minute cos I was desperate, I wouldn't recommend unless you literally just want a mattress to crash on. The neighbours could see everything in the room. No privacy, but Julie seemed to be nice enough."
2515481,34379004,2015-06-07,14794373,Kourtney,"It was a great location, clean, and at a great price;"
2515481,34819570,2015-06-12,32920222,Andres,"Great room for a great price in an awesome location. If you need something safe, quiet, and in a great location in Austin I would highly recommend."
2515481,35859082,2015-06-22,8186545,Fergus,"This place worked out well for my needs, since it was within walking distance of the festival. There was some confusion about which room was mine — they have a code system, rather than someone to bring you in — but that appears to have been my mistake. The interior of the home was clean, and the setup gave me no problems, except perhaps for the awkward door handle and door that had a hard time closing."
2515481,36253761,2015-06-26,4400107,Kyle,"Great little house. This is the second time with this host, different house. Great stay either way! Thank you! "
2515481,36495528,2015-06-28,36820497,Ivy,"This room was perfect for what I needed, which was just a place to sleep after a night out. Julia was very responsive to inquiries. The front door and door to the room use electronic doorknobs into which you enter a code, so there is no worry about coordinating a time to pick up and drop off keys. Location is easily accessible to I-35 and downtown and it was super easy to get super cheap Ubers over to sixth street. "
2515481,36913035,2015-07-02,32927956,Chris,"It was a great location, clean house, loved my stay!"
2515481,39685527,2015-07-25,36325594,Joe,"Had an awesome time at this place, short walk to great tacos and the cbd, very easy to get in and door to bedroom has its own lock code which is cool. Everything clean and looked after, would definitely stay again, would have liked to have stayed longer, recommended."
2515481,40023572,2015-07-27,38730748,Hector,Everything was perfect
2515481,40174714,2015-07-28,38243913,Damon,"Everything was as described, it was nice and clean. The room was very small and sparsely furnished, but it was practical. I was pleased that you had wifi. The kitchen looked great and very complete. I would bring food in on another visit. I would like to experience another one of your properties. I am usually around 35 and 290, but the location is flexible. I am looking for a regular place to stay on my weekly trip to Austin. It was a pleasure. "
2515481,40388420,2015-07-30,38073571,Kamila,"Everything was great! I spend there only two nights, the house is small but is perfect if you just want to spend a night there and just relax after whole day of walking/ driving ( like i did). I like my room, it was small but is perfect for 2 people. 
The house is not far away from the 6thstreet ( 15min walk) its pretty close.!
I didnt meet Julia but if you need something just call/ text and she will text you back and answer/ help you with your all question.
I really recommend HOST!

2515481,42096631,2015-08-10,6241637,Lexy,This was the perfect spot to crash for a night in Austin. Not too much to the place but it was clean and convenient 
2515481,42500154,2015-08-13,4269805,Sunny,"The room was fine and the bed was super comfortable. One of my towels smelled like mildew, which was gross. The bathroom door sticks so it was loud every time someone went in or out and woke me up a lot (I was in room 3 across the hall from it). But everything else was good and it is in super close proximity to downtown and SoCo. "
2515481,42644200,2015-08-14,36349250,Aaron,The house was clean and the amenities were great. The room was a little small for the price but it was a great location. Overall a very pleasant experience!
2515481,44059663,2015-08-23,41663893,Guy,Very nice and coliseum to east 6st
2515481,44744519,2015-08-28,11795630,Michelle,Quaint and comfortable. Had no problems. Thank you! 
2515481,45487526,2015-09-03,39966187,Jake,"This place was simply great. Julie was easy to reach, and the house was clean, quiet, comfy, and easy to get into even though my flight got in at midnight. If you want a hassle-free experience near the main drag of a hip Austin neighborhood, look no further. "
2515481,45811739,2015-09-06,40055870,Greg,"Pretty clean and nice room, it was the bare essentials but its what I needed.  There was only 1 bathroom and three rooms of people, so it was kinda annoying sometimes, but other than that, it was great.

Comfortable memory foam bed, central AC, and convenient location. you can Uber to anywhere you need to in austin real quick if you don't like walking. real close to raniey st, and La Barbecue, which you need to get.  Good spot. "
2515481,46657922,2015-09-12,4545086,Eugene,Julia's place was great and just as advertised in the photo. The host was very considerate and responsive - highly recommended for future guests!
2515481,47338736,2015-09-17,37091520,Nicolas,Absolutely wonderful place!  Completely as advertised--and more!  Location was fantastic--I was on a business trip and was able to WALK to the Happy Hour reception!  Excellent deal for the price.  Would recommend anyone else to consider staying here.
2515481,48157292,2015-09-23,44798866,Spencer,I always look for places to feel like home and this was exactly it! I became homesick when I left and Austin isn't even my home! Definitely staying here the next time I visit! THANKYOU!  
2515481,48255249,2015-09-24,40005674,Brittany,"The place is ok. This was my second experience with AirBnb and the first time renting a room in a house, so I can't make a comparison. Service was average. I was confused by the number of people involved. More run down than the photo would indicate. I didn't get a washcloth. Location was kinda cool and I enjoyed eating nearby at Cenote. Can't say I'd recommend but not terrible."
2515481,50902886,2015-10-15,43421470,Charl,Host was super responsive and helpful. Property was comfortable & clean. The aircon was great. 
2515481,51001461,2015-10-16,41074626,Shay,Room was exactly as described and the bed was very comfy. Would stay again. 
2515481,51412928,2015-10-19,46436131,Christian,Convenient room in a convenient location and the bed was more comfortable than my own. Close to so much in Austin. Would stay there again
2515481,51581885,2015-10-21,19416412,Carly,"The listing and description were accurate, the room and house were clean and accessible. I was there for less than 20 hrs so I didn't get to interact with anyone but it was a great place to crash for a quick trip and is in a cool neighborhood."
2515481,51904213,2015-10-25,5423745,Lillie,"Pros: Great location, easy access (codes for the doors), very clean, comfy bed, AC definitely works well, and good water pressure in the shower. Other guests were polite.

Cons: The house was generally a bit more run-down than I expected based on the photos; there is no overhead light in the room and just a small lamp that needed to be moved from the shelf to the ground in order to illuminate the room.

Also: it's next to a cat cafe! So you can go pet a cat while you have some coffee in the morning :D (website hidden)"
2515481,52847654,2015-11-02,10533816,Austin,The house is exactly as described. Quiet little place that's about a 25 minute walk from downtown. No problems to speak of. The other guests were very respectful of noise and sharing space.  Would recommend if you're looking primarily for a place to sleep while you're out and about in Austin.
2515481,53009023,2015-11-03,8896260,Steven,"The place was just as described. I really enjoyed my time in Austin, in part because this place was so conveniently located for everything I wanted to do. The check-in/out process was extremely easy and the bed was extremely comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend for anyone wanting to explore Austin. "
2515481,53113866,2015-11-05,43733614,Angela,"Thanks a bunch! Instructions were very clear and stress-free. All the little extras (hair dryer, water filter) made it a comfortable stay. Would def. use again. "
2617493,11378860,2014-03-31,13422082,Sarah,"John was a great host, very responsive and communicative. The house was awesome--It was just as pictured in the listing and very clean. It was also within walking distance to a ton of restaurants and bars. I would definitely recommend staying at this house as well as John as a host!  "
2617493,11810813,2014-04-15,1144690,Daniel,"This house is super cozy and in a great neighbourhood. The pictures are perfectly accurate and with the little snacks provided and great toiletries (Arbonne is pretty fancy!) it felt like a weekend at a spa. John is responsive to all inquiries, checked in a couple of times during our stay and getting/returning keys was super simple. Highly recommended!!"
2617493,12305616,2014-04-28,6292022,Sam,John was a great host and provided everything we needed for a wonderful stay. His house is incredibly well appointed in a really great part of the city. He couldn't have been more helpful and really made our experience special. I will only stay with John on return trips to Austin.
2617493,12555307,2014-05-05,5487531,Luana,"The house is nice & has everything we needed (we had one couple and 2 singles, perfect for the beds). There is a nice porch out back for hanging out on, and the house has lots of cozy nooks too. You can tell this is an airb&b only type of home- which is not bad, you can just tell it is not lived in full year round. It's got a nice eclectic style with furniture & pieces from all over! "
2617493,13190150,2014-05-21,13934938,Lee,"This is a great little place in a charming and quiet neighborhood close to South Congress stores and food and 3 blocks to excellent coffee at Fair Bean. John was very communicative and responsive. I liked the fact that the house has solar electric panels.

All in all, a good value !"
2617493,13418639,2014-05-27,5097592,Dustin,Absolutely wonderful house! Tremendous location! John was super prompt in responding to my inquiries and questions. Would most definitely stay there again in the future.

2617493,15276181,2014-07-06,10032756,Lucile & Benjamin,"Excellent location for this very nice house: close to SoCo vintage shops (walking distance), restaurant, Barton spring pools and all the live bar from 6th St at 10mn driving.

The house itself is very nicely decorated (very recent, cosy), with a lot of natural lights, plenty of space to relax with friends.
Beds are very good too, as well as the kitchen and its equipment.

Finally, John is a very nice host (and responding really fast to our requests) and everything as been done very easily"
2617493,16024260,2014-07-20,16760428,Karen,Great house in a super location!  Comfy bed and cute back yard.  John was super responsive and arrangements were easy to handle.  
2617493,18406097,2014-08-26,15100188,Fred,Your place was comfortable and clean. Only snafu was the drain and you fixed that in short order.Thanx for the wonderful visit.
2617493,21908466,2014-10-26,105646,Kelly,"The home was exactly as pictured, and spotlessly clean. It is in a quiet neighborhood walking distance to many of Austin's best restaurants.  John seemed easy going and flexible. Only downside: there is no microwave in the kitchen (there is an oven)."
2617493,22224688,2014-11-02,13672533,William,John was such a great host! He made sure everything was in order the day before check in and allowed us to check in early on the day of our arrival. His place was fantastic. The kingsize bed in the master was extremely comfortable and the house came with all the amenities one is looking for when traveling. The SoCo location was perfect and easy to walk to all of the shops and restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend staying at John's place!
2617493,23355142,2014-11-30,4284883,Kim,"This place was fantastic! Great location, close to S. Congress shops and restaurants, on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. The house was bright and tidy, and sufficiently stocked with cleaning and kitchen supplies. Very comfortable beds too! John was a great host - quick to respond to any questions and thoughtfully checked in to make sure or stay was going well. Highly recommended to anyone coming to Austin. We hope to return in the future!"
2617493,25395118,2015-01-14,11850676,Sara,"An adorable, bright, and cozy home! The house is even better in person and was very clean and well equipped when we arrived.  For us, the highlights were the bright sun room off the kitchen and the incredibly comfy king size bed.  John was very responsive and made sure our arrival was easy and our stay comfortable.  A great host. "
2617493,26333912,2015-02-09,21235973,Amanda,"My friends and I loved this house!  Great location and fabulous decor! If I lived in Austin, I would want to live in this house!  John was a great host and I would love to rent from him again."
2617493,26616794,2015-02-16,874085,Mallory,"This place is fantastic! John was so accommodating and got back to my questions very quickly before and during the trip. The house is walking distance to South Congress, which has tons of shops, bars and restaurants.  It was also a short ride from downtown, which was  a fun part of town as well! The street is super nice, quiet and safe.  Overall it was a great trip!   "
2617493,26842270,2015-02-20,24844520,Joe,"The house has a cool, chic flair.  Nice back patio for lounging.  The walking distance location between 1st and South Congress is great.  "
2617493,27702010,2015-03-09,2134525,Anthony,"This is a great place to stay in Austin. 

It's in a great neighborhood - close to lots of cafes, bars, and restaurants. 

The house itself is great with one of the best beds I've slept in. It's very clean and quiet.

John is super communicative and easy to deal with.

I'd def recommend staying here.

2617493,28111289,2015-03-17,2129200,Ross + Jessica,"John was a great host. He was always quick to respond, and thorough with his communication. Our itinerary changed (twice) and John was able to accommodate us for the extra nights we needed to stay - which I greatly appreciated. 

The place was very nice, perfect for our small group in town for SXSW. Large kitchen, nice backyard, great location near South Congress. I would definitely stay here again. 

"
2617493,28311589,2015-03-22,11521847,Will,"John is a pro Airbnb host.   His place came exactly as advertised - extremely tidy and clean.  Although we didn't meet in person, John kept in touch throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable.

The place is actually slightly more spacious than I envisioned from the pictures.  There's also a flatscreen equipped with Apple TV in the main room - we didn't use it but its probably worth noting to future guests :)   

I'd highly recommend staying here"
2617493,28888797,2015-03-31,7311898,Clayton,We really enjoyed our stay in this fantastic and very cozy house. The location was great.  John is a very attentive host and made us feel welcome.  Looking forward to a return visit. 
2617493,30085219,2015-04-17,1224212,Ilija,"John was a great host, the house is perfect and we had a lovely stay in Austin. I would come again and warmly recommend John's house. Thanks!"
2617493,30667930,2015-04-26,973573,Tom,"We had a great experience and everything advertised was delivered. John was in touch whenever we had questions and gave us helpful tips. The house is clean and larger than I expected. The king bed was extremely comfortable and the linens were all in great shape. The house is located on a cute street with numerous live oaks and is within walking distance to a bunch of cool shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. Highly recommended!"
2617493,31452357,2015-05-05,5869734,Pablo,"The house was awesome, very cozy and with a lot of personality. We felt right at home. It was also right in the middle of S Congress, walking distance to all kinds of restaurants, shops, etc... I would highly recommend this spot to anyone going to Austin. John was super easy to connect with. Thanks!"
2617493,31892641,2015-05-11,6316516,Anissa,"My friends and I stayed here while attending a wedding in Austin and we loved it.. it was perfect for 3 people. It is tastefully decorated, clean, spacious and comfortable particularly nice with air con to escape the humidity. The location was brilliant - after having stayed one night in a hotel in downtown Austin i much preferred this location which was very peaceful and a short stroll to south congress shops and restaurants. To get into Austin was a short uber ride so it was no problem to get around. John was an awesome host… he always responded promptly and kindly went out of his way to help us with a coat hanger shortage!"
2617493,33095386,2015-05-25,2191851,Jessica,"The house was a lot older than we anticipated. I would say the pictures don't show the true size of the bathroom either. Very hard to share with 4 people. Water pressure in shower was very low, and shower did not drain. When we first arrived at house there were crumbs on the floor that were sticking to my feet which made me feel like the house was not cleaned thoroughly. Master bed was very comfortable. There was no toilet paper or paper towels, we had to have a friend bring a roll over when she came to get us. The garbage disposal in the kitchen did not work so the house smelt like the food we ate the night before and was not the best. Water condensation was coming through the roof and floor during the big storm on Saturday. Is that normal for an old house? Overall, the house was fine but everyone staying there did not feel clean and it was pretty cramped so we decided to leave a night early. "
2617493,35555241,2015-06-20,30634101,Katherine,Adorable home convenient to SoCo and St. Edwards. We'll be back again.

2617493,43581270,2015-08-20,1014731,Patrick,John was an excellent host helping direct us to some great restaurants and live music. His place is immaculate and very comfortable to hang out in. Very close to all the eclectic shops in SoCo.
2617493,45026716,2015-08-30,3300362,Rebecca,"John's house was lovely and in a great location.  We were able to take a lazy walk to brunch - critical weekend stuff.   And even though my friends and I were on a bit of an eccentric schedule, John was easy to coordinate with.  Highly recommend."
2617493,48768162,2015-09-28,8996327,Ariel,"This is a sweet little bungalow on a quiet street in a great area. It is exactly as pictured and was the perfect size for me, my husband and our 4yo. I didn't meet John in person but he was very responsive and accommodating.  Great place, would definitely stay again."
8282305,49395449,2015-10-03,45000309,Courtney,"This was a fantastic idea and a wonderful place! This was the first time my wife and I used Airbnb and we were pleasantly surprised. The communication from Bryan back to us was very prompt and accommodating, from the beginning of our request all the way to the end of our stay.  The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the neighbors were friendly. The inside of Bryan's home was very beautiful, clean and well maintained. The beds were mega comfortable and the house has all appliances you can ever need. Bryan was very easy to communicate with and helped whenever we needed anything. The house had enough space for two couples to stay comfortably and with privacy. The price was very affordable and we will use Airbnb from now on. I definitely recommend Bryan's place to anyone who wants to stay in Austin and not in the mess of downtown but close enough to visit everything.   "
560094,2465514,2012-10-01,2691772,Serena,"Karen is a wonderful host. Her home is nestled in an ideal location close to St. Edwards Univesity, UT, The Broken Spoke, Zilker Park, the mall, and plenty of other great places to shop and eat. "
560094,2913174,2012-11-19,3519099,Sandro,Absolutely wonderfull. Great location. Karen is a delight to deal with! Will be back next year!!!
560094,3372698,2013-01-19,2128535,Lily,"We could not asked for a better host or a nicer place to stay!!!! Karen was such a great host that we decided to come back for one extra night! There was hot coffee in the morning and a hot tub in the afternoons--what more could you need? Her house felt like home immediately, and we got to meet her son, mom, and three cute dogs. It's right near one of the best places to go out (the Broken Spoke) and our favorite brunch spot (Kirbey Lane). This airbnb experience was above and beyond any other, we were so lucky to book this place!"
560094,3720243,2013-03-08,422004,Ozge,"Staying in Karen's place has been one of my best airbnb experiences so far. She is such a great host, you easily forget that you are a guest there. :) She is open hearted, so generous and nice. Also a perfect guide for those who are new to Austin.
In terms of location, Karen's place is so convenient even for people without car. There are a lot of buses to downtown and if you don't mind walking for 10-15 mins you can find cool restaurants close by.
I feel fortunate to know Karen and I'd definitely recommend her place. "
560094,4775961,2013-05-25,3807539,Danelle,"Karen is an amazing host, very helpful and accommodating. It is easy to make friends with Karen. The location is very green, beautiful and central. Having to get around everywhere on my bicycle, the location was perfect. Karen will definitely be the first person I'll ping when I'm back in Austin!"
560094,7502485,2013-09-23,5357171,Weiyu,"I had a good summer here. The hosts cared about me and gave me a lot of help. It was quiet for most of the time. The house is generally clean, and all the equipment was available to me. "
560094,12403498,2014-05-01,1431542,Ryne,"Karen's home is a great place to stay on the quieter side of Austin!  The neighborhood is super convienient to all the Austin hotspots (Zilker, SoCo, downtown, town lake, etc).  On top of that, everyone in the house made me feel like family, butalso gave me the privacy I wanted sometimes too.  I would definitely stay here again and am happy to have made some friends along the way too!  Thanks Karen!"
560094,17819195,2014-08-18,14290827,Joseph,"Karen was a wonderful host, everyone was very nice and made me feel very welcomed.

8054795,47767278,2015-09-21,42629186,Ryan,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was incredible! Lindsay was extremely attentive through the whole process, the apartment was perfect (just enough outside of downtown to be free of major traffic and feel like a true bnb), and was very reasonably priced given its location to Austin."
8054795,48130770,2015-09-23,287215,John,Wonderful location that you wouldn't expect to find a condo in. Cute place with good spaces for hanging out and for sleep

The place was lovely - comfortable, spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our overnight stay (including recommendations about restaurants etc. in Austin). We received all the details we needed and we were even able to leave the car in the parking space for a few hours after we checked out. Overall a great stay. "
8054795,49793755,2015-10-06,42611361,Vau,"Lindsay was a great host. The place was clean and well represented. When we went to make up the second bed at 11pm Friday night we realized there were no linens. I contacted Lindsay and she ran some right over. Now, that's what I call service! Thanks for the great stay at the Tripshack!"
8054795,50641352,2015-10-13,13677933,Danielle,"The TripShack has been our favorite Airbnb stay so far. It was so cozy with a great layout. The bedroom was dark and we couldn't hear any of the neighbors. We felt very much at home and had everything we needed for our stay. The front porch was super cute and we were bummed we were too busy to have breakfast out there. I would love to stay at the TripShack again or check out one of the other properties. 

My favorite upside was that rentals and other amenities were available. We were thinking about renting bikes but decided to walk to ACL since we weren't sure about navigating. I loved that that was an option. 

We only had to text Lindsay once because both parking lots were occupied by other people. She texted us back right away and sent someone over to clear the spaces. Early on in our reservation Lindsay also confirmed we were good to go, because other AirBnB hosts kept cancelling on us once they realized they overbooked or it was ACL weekend. That really eased our minds and made us super appreciative for a professional and honest host. 

And location. Seriously, awesome location. Right off Lamar so we were close to everything. We were a $5 Lyft from downtown and ACL.  GREAT STAY."
8054795,50983117,2015-10-16,435877,Tina,"Lindsay's property is conveniently located, close to CVS, whole foods, UT Austin. Check-in was easy, and the property is just as pictured! AC works well, and there are ceiling fans to cool down the rooms if needed. Two designated parking spots go with the unit (as long as the neighbors don't take it). The property is located in a more foresty area, and there are cockroaches in the area, so you will find some in your unit as well! Overall, Lindsay's quick to respond, the location is good, check in is easy, property is beautiful."
8380819,47452279,2015-09-18,10902334,Stephanie,The host canceled this reservation 34 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8380819,47577331,2015-09-20,41867280,Jerry,"Natalie kept her place very clean and organized. Not alot of sunlight gets into the apartment being on the first floor but it was very cozy and enjoyable with all her decorations.  Even with the unfortunate event of having my car towed from the parking lot (Natalie let me parked my car in her spot but turns out management goes around and checks for the parking sticker), she was kind enough and offered to reimburse half of the towing fee. She is a great host and I would definitely stay again."
8380819,47593372,2015-09-20,31376284,Casey,"Great place near campus, description was spot on and i felt very comfortable staying there :-) "
8380819,47881986,2015-09-21,11270925,Sirrod,Natalie communicated with us every step of the way. The location was great and her apartment was nice. We would definitely stay there again.
8380819,48482444,2015-09-26,27456090,Henriëtte,It was a nice stay in Austin! Perfect for a citytrip. 
8380819,48632156,2015-09-27,28225025,Daniel,"Very cozy and welcoming space. Less than a mile from a handful of great restaurants & the college. A great place to crash for the night.  Parking was quite a walk from the front door, but not really a big deal for me. Natalie was super responsive to my questions and a great host. "
8380819,49505349,2015-10-04,38967953,Julieanne,Natalie's home was clean and very cozy! Absolutely loves the area and didn't have trouble with parking! The apartment was close to everything and so easy to navigate around. 
8380819,49839894,2015-10-06,2860892,Sarah,"This was one of the worst Airbnb experiences I've had. I arrived to an apartment that had urine sitting in the toilet and sheets covered in someone else's hair and crumbs. It was made apparent both through that and through Natalie's communications that there is no cleaning between Airbnb guests and no other set of sheets were provided.

Additionally, there was no set time that was noted for check out - her guidelines say ""flexible"" and I had planned on working from the apartment until 11am. I received a text from Natalie at 5:30am informing me she'd be home by 8:30 or 9am and suggesting I be out before then. I obliged not sure how else to respond.

On top of all of this, the apartment was unbelievably noisy on a Sunday might. There were leaf blowers directly outside her door and windows at 7am, and you could hear every footstep of the upstairs neighbors late into the night.

While Natalie was nice in her early communications and I imagine has good intentions about being an Airbnb host, I would not recommend this place until she can clean between guests and better communicate her expectations around guests checking out."
8380819,50239161,2015-10-10,45681564,Kyle,Absolutely great host. Clear and concise communication as well as a great apartment. Will definitely use again if Im in the area. Thank you so much!
8380819,50505207,2015-10-12,33597418,David,"Listing was accurate. Natalie was a good host. Although I did not see her, I felt like she was available to reach if needed."
8380819,51071909,2015-10-17,38120732,Debbie,"The apartment was easy to find and Natalie told me a good place to park when I called her after finding the apartment.  I had to walk a block from my car to the apartment. Did not feel unsafe in the area.   The apartment was neat, but the bathroom could have been cleaner.  The linens on the bed were dirty.  Natalie did leave a set of bedding if you wanted to use it, so I did.  The bedding was for a full bed and the bed was a queen.  Therefore, the bottom sheet did not fit and used the top sheet and the comforter on the bed.  Bedroom faces Red River Street and was a little noisy, but did not prevent me from sleeping.  "
8380819,51157293,2015-10-18,15529035,Raquel,"The place is great and just as pictured! Great location and the bed is super comfy. Natalie is very friendly and gave me all the necessary information up front, so that I wasn't confused or had questions when I arrived.  Would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone looking to stay a weekend in Austin.   "
8380819,51500507,2015-10-20,31239500,Jamie,Natalie's apartment was very cute and comfy for us. I loved the decor and the location was great too. Thank you Natalie!
8380819,52848318,2015-11-02,44472829,Chris,"Natalie was great! Her apartment was lovely and clean, and smelled wonderful. She left clear instructions and we had no trouble with anything (although the shower temperature takes some finessing). The area was wonderful, just off campus and we could walk downtown when we were feeling up to it."
5230543,26710529,2015-02-17,7882203,Renee,"Dallas was extremely hospitable, his home was beautiful and tidy.  A great jump off spot for all things in Austin, it seemed as if everything was 10 minutes away.  Such a fun neighborhood with awesome restaurants.  Dallas was nice enough to give us great recommendations in the neighborhood and around Austin.  We felt like we were at home! "
5230543,28049300,2015-03-16,20190212,Daniel,"Dallas's house was even better than his description.  Located in a charming area of Austin with convenient stores, and a 24 hour dinner with-in walking distance.  We took advantage of the spacious backyard, played ping pong, and enjoyed the fire pit.  The beds and linens were nice and comfortable.  Downtown is a quick cab/lyft/uber ride, and Dallas gave us a great back road that makes it super easy ad avoids the freeway.  Dallas is a great guy as well.  Overall a great experience and I would stay there again for sure.  Can't wait to get back to Austin!  "
5230543,28322491,2015-03-22,20038236,Elisabeth,Dallas was a great host. Had all instructions for the stay ready and was very kind and left us some food/drink.
5230543,28830474,2015-03-30,29483135,Chris,"Great house, with a great host.  Back porch is a great place to catch some sun in the mornings. "
5230543,29064739,2015-04-03,28772871,Michael,"Description was perfectly accurate, although a bit modest! The house absolutely rocked and Dallas was an amazing host!"
5230543,29287281,2015-04-06,1094261,Katie,"Great communication with Dallas before and during our stay. Flexible with check in, etc."
5230543,29861556,2015-04-13,12904136,Dominik,Great backyard with all your household needs in a quiet neighborhood.   Close to downtown 5  dollar Uber ride to sixth Street.   Clean comfortable beds.
5230543,30369115,2015-04-20,5404352,Jenni,"We really enjoyed our stay and short and easy commute to some great east side finds!
Perfectly comfortable house and very kind hosts!"
5230543,30798933,2015-04-27,19759819,Andrew,"Dallas' home was phenomenal and everything we could hope for during our time in Austin. I don't even know where to begin: a fantastic location (near downtown and the east side, but tucked into a cozy little neighborhood), a gorgeous back patio, very tastefully decorated interior. Anything you want from an airbnb listing--this place has it. Dallas himself was very hospitable and courteous, giving us great advice about nearby attractions and checking in halfway through our trip by text message to make sure everything was going well. Honestly, stay here. I'll be getting in touch with Dallas if I ever make it back to the capital of the Lone Star State! "
5230543,31023494,2015-04-30,20849730,Alex,"This house is situated in an awesome neighborhood,  the kind you would like to grow up in. Very quit but close enough to places. The Host Dallas was very responsive and friendly. Very laid back and has his house set up nicely. Honestly , nothing bad to say. Thank You"
5230543,31922628,2015-05-11,3481231,Antonio,"Amazing house in a quiet neighbourhood, not far from downtown and with a quick access to the I-35.
The house has everything you may need, including water dispenser and central A/C. We really enjoyed the huge backyard with the ping pong table.
We didn't get to meet Dallas in person, but communication was great. He would answer in max. 10 minutes to every question we had."
5230543,32434045,2015-05-17,7395043,Scott,"Dallas, Thank You!

The Classic Bungalow was a perfect fit for my family's needs. Location, property and Dallas were all exceptional. Dallas himself was the perfect host, he dropped a pecan pie off 3 days into our stay. 

Awesome, the total package at the Classic Bungalow. 5 STARS!!!!

5230543,32967068,2015-05-24,26740327,Theresa,"This was a great place to stay!  For our visit to Austin for my sister's graduation, it was perfect!  It was close to campus, easy to find, great area to walk around and we were even close to East Side Cafe, Haymaker, Thunderbird Cafe -all of walking distance.   The house was clean and had everything we needed from dishes, coffee maker, Ozark water, roomy refrigerator, washer/dryer, comfy beds, and a great back yard to just relax and talk.  The house was also great b/c I am one for modern conveniences and I loved the kitchen - gorgeous - and the house was always at the right temp (loved the nest!). Our host, Dallas, made us feel at home before, upon, and even after our arrival.  He checked in with us while we were there and made sure after that we were ok as well.  It was a perfect place to stay for our family!  Thank you, Theresa Remek"
5230543,33858957,2015-06-01,21012544,Rhonda,Excellent location for exploring Austin. Nice quiet neighborhood with a tranquil backyard. Plenty of room for three adults. Dallas gave good recommendations for dining and drinking nearby. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others:)
5230543,34175972,2015-06-05,34539342,Mark,"I needed a place on very short notice for my wife, my dogs and me. This Bungalow was perfect for our needs. Great location, beautiful house, and gorgeous backyard. The location was outstanding with great resuarants, bars and coffee around the corner. The bed was amazing and we spent most of our time in the backyard. "
5230543,34730265,2015-06-11,31743956,Marci,"This being our first Airbnb experience we were unsure what to expect. I think we got the best first, it will truly be hard to beat! Dallas was so helpful and checked in with us throughout to make sure all was going well and there wasn't anything we needed. Just the best, thanks Dallas!

The home was gorgeous! Clean, warm and inviting and perfect for us and our daughter to call home each night after our traipsing around TX during our week long stay. We spent so much time out back at the ping pong table we're now thinking we need to buy one ourselves! What a fun addition to the stay and a nice way to connect and unwind together. 

The location was perfect, close to downtown/6th street, The Capitol Building, Long Center, Bullock Museum and the Freeway for quick access to quickly start our out of town day trips. 

Thanks again Dallas for helping make this a very memorable family vacation. We hope to book this wonderful home and location with you again on a friends trip in the future! "
5230543,35600775,2015-06-20,9877917,Katrina,"My family stayed 5 nights and some of them were first time Airbnb users. Dallas was a great host. Very responsive and easy to communicate with when needed. I appreciated that more than anything since that made the best impression on my parents. Other than that, the listing itself was very clean and had everything we needed and more. I would definitely stay there again. "
5230543,36606373,2015-06-29,35100836,Clarke,"Great home. Very clean, excellent backyard. Dallas was very attentive, checking in via text throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend."
5230543,37233973,2015-07-05,2961708,Joe,"Dallas was a phenomenal host & this place couldn't be more perfect for any occasion. He communicated well before & during our stay, & everything was just as described if not better. Access to a washer/dryer was a plus & his huge backyard was like an oasis away from the city. I would definitely stay here again!"
5230543,39817474,2015-07-26,37423650,Sharon,Had a great stay here. Location was perfect for the swim meet we were attending at UT. House was super clean. Everything we needed was there. Dallas went above and beyond for us. Beds were all comfortable. We would Definitely stay here again!
5230543,46472758,2015-09-11,35270631,Laura,"Our stay went without a hitch and all contact and communication was smooth and efficient. The weather was very hot when we were in Austin and the bungalow was so cool and relaxing to spend time in, with everything we could want. There are some great cafes/places for brunch about 5-10 mins walk away and bus stops to get around Austin nearby too."
5230543,47653867,2015-09-21,6829614,Frank,"Great place to stay at, very modern and comfortable with a great backyard. I had a wonderful experience and Dallas was responsive (even while overseas) to any question I had. It was 4 of us total and the place worked out prefect for us, would definitely recommend. "
5230543,49598922,2015-10-05,37940779,Karla,Dallas is an awesome host and very easy to get along with! The house was perfect and cozy. Everything we needed was provided. My friends and I had an awesome stay and would choose to stay at this property again whenever we go back to Austin for vacation.
5230543,50522007,2015-10-12,7078521,Paul,"Dallas, was very hospitable. Provided a lot of good information. House was nice and clean with a  great backyard. Air conditioning was modern and easy to control. All instructions to get into the house were accurate and easy to follow. "
5230543,51586775,2015-10-21,27280875,Laura,Our host made us feel so welcome and provided us a perfect place to stay.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin I highly recommend this home!
5230543,51887396,2015-10-25,38072076,Ian,"Dallas did a fantastic job in communicating everything to me every step of the way.   Everything was exactly as shown online.  Access to a modern kitchen with everything you'd need to feel like you're at home.  The accommodations were great; we had no trouble sleeping any of the nights we were there.  The neighborhood is in a great location since it is tucked a little bit off the main roads, but still very close to the highway in order to get downtown quite easily and is also within walking distance of Texas Stadium and the rest of UT's main campus; which was perfect for our group. Overall, a great experience!"
8523350,49742892,2015-10-05,13483218,Heather,Host was very welcoming. Her place was tidy. Convenient location to Zilker and short Uber into town.

8172120,49744257,2015-10-05,45334169,Lisa,"This home was the perfect spot for our ACL weekend! The apartment was cozy and clean and Rebecca was a great host. The location couldn't be better - right on the Greenbelt trail and about a mile hike to Zilker. And bonus -  there' s a Taco Deli across the street! Thanks again, Rebecca, for a great weekend!"
5538048,28105145,2015-03-17,5168077,Olive,"I was lucky that I found this place the very last minute for SXSW. Rusty was a great host, would answer all my questions and was very flexible about check in/check out times. The description is accurate and the apartment is quite close to downtown Austin."
5538048,50574889,2015-10-12,3634508,Kacey,Rusty was great and very helpful! His place was very clean and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great location in Austin!

458095,2926054,2012-11-20,6457424,Steven,"Beautiful, clean, quiet home.  Gracious, helpful hosts.  Delightful homemade muffins in the morning.  They went out of their way to take care of our transportation while we were in town for F1 - including driving us to the racetrack shuttle stop at 6 AM.  Would definitely stay here again!"
458095,3781217,2013-03-14,4882113,Lotti,This is an absolutely beautiful home run by a lovely couple. They went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we had a great stay. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
458095,10963527,2014-03-15,4153742,Jonathan,"Jerry and Regina are the perfect hosts! My coworker and I attended SXSW in March '14. Jerry picked us up at the airport and he drove us to downtown Austin every morning (10min drive). We were then taking a cab back at the end of each day ($15), the extra cost was compensated by the location and low price. The apt. is on the upper floor of a nicely decorated house, very clean, fully equipped kitchen and two spacious rooms. The house is located in a very quiet area which is rewarding at the end of a busy day at South By. J&R used to own a real BnB. They provide the same high quality of service. I would highly recommend staying at the apt."
458095,22290456,2014-11-03,6491634,Greg & Tracy,"Jerry and Rejina were lovely hosts.  Everything was clean and Jerry and Rejina delivered us fresh baked goods and fresh fruit every day. Amazing! Thank you Jerry and Rejina.
See you next year!!!"
458095,32564629,2015-05-19,31665006,Chelsea,"This is such a charming place to stay in Austin. You are close to everything but nestles in huge mature trees, giving you the feeling of living in the country or visiting a small European county. Our host were very accommodating and full of southern hospitality.   This is my first choice stay for Austin. Plus there is all kinds of wonderful wildlife if you are into birds, this a great place to see some beautiful species for sure."
458095,47839249,2015-09-21,43741473,Tim,"I had a great stay with J&R. I was able to coordinate my arrival and was warmly welcomed. The accommodations were described accurately, a good quiet place to stay near Austin and close to The Circuit Of The Americas/Bergstrom . I would recommend this place to my friends."
458095,49641021,2015-10-05,8814162,Raul,"In one word 'Amazing'. At first we had a little trouble getting to the house but after that it was pretty simple. The house and rooms are beautiful, arranged with artwork and nostalgic pieces managed by the artistic Rejina I'm sure. Jerry was also very accommodating. He insisted on helping us unload when we got there and suggested he give us a ride to ACL, he was a great host. Overall a fantastic experience. If you're looking for a quite refuge after a night out in the capital look no further then the Casa De Suenos, J&R."
458095,50435044,2015-10-12,9160883,Flora,Jerry and Rejina are awesome! They accommodated us in every respect. They gave us privacy and asked daily if there was anything we needed. Jerry even dropped us off at ACL daily and offered to pick us up! The room was clean and quaint. Their house is one of a kind. We had a separate private entrance with our own patio. They were super hosts! Would definitely return. 
458095,52037448,2015-10-26,6491634,Greg & Tracy,"Always a pleasure to stay with Jerry and Rejina.
They are wonderful, accommodating people.
I look forward to seeing them every year.
Thank you, see you next year!
Tracy & Greg!!!

5632244,28188981,2015-03-19,3060950,Sophie,"I stayed in this house for 5 days during SXSW with a friend. And I don't think we could have had a better experience! 
The house is completely new and Hayley and her housemates had just moved in. So apart from missing towels on arrival (which were promptly provided) we were received like friends and had a great time, but we could also act completely independently.
Perfect location - 20 min walk to the convention centre and some very nice Bars and food trucks in this up and coming area of Austin.
Definitely recommended!"
5632244,28370912,2015-03-22,28644202,Taylor,"Hayley was a fantastic host and the place was amazing, so beautiful. Very clean, nicely kept, she opened the fridge for me to put my food into. They even supplied an amazing bar of african soap!  "
5632244,49790729,2015-10-06,149679,Chris,"gorgeous, very private space. great, accommodating host. definitely recommend this spot for 1-2 people anytime you're in austin. fantastic. "
5632244,50317424,2015-10-11,43684271,Gabriel,"Great host!  Unfortunately didn't get to meet and hang out, since we were just in town for Friday ACL, but it couldn't have been easier!  This was my first time using Airbnb, and I will definitely do it again!  Nice, clean room with a great bathroom attached, separate from the rest of the house for privacy, and a great price, I just can't say enough!  Thanks Hayley!"
5632244,52058261,2015-10-26,820369,Xander,Awesome spot. I was a bit of a ghost but the little time I spent with the hosts was lovely. East Austin is the place to be and it's a short walk to La Bufalina for great pizza and Whislers for awesome cocktails!
5499190,30363565,2015-04-20,13007643,Dalia,"We had an excellent stay at this apartment in Austin.  The experience was wonderful and Christina was such a gracious host.  The apartment was beautiful and she gave us a tour of the place including a demonstration of how to use the Tv, sound system, ipad, netflix, google chrome ect.   She also sent a survey to us beforehand asking if theres anything we needed and provided us with a gift basket with some snacks.  Check in and check out was extremely easy because she set a customized door code for us to get into the apartment.  I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone.  It's also an extremely convenient location close to everything!  10/10 experience here!"
5499190,35592093,2015-06-20,2207625,Douglas,"Staying at Christina's place was a pleasure from start to finish.
I was booking at extremely short notice, and Christina could not have been more helpful throughout the booking process.
I also had the pleasure of spending an an hour or so with Christina upon arrival, and she was very friendly and let me know all the essentials to make sure my stay was as enjoyable as possible.

The area the apartment is in absolutely perfect. Walking distance to all the food & drink options on S Lamar, and a short drive to the likes of Barton Springs and the Greenbelt.

The bed was really comfy, and I slept like a baby every night. Though some of that could have been induced by my enjoyment of the local night spots!
On that subject, there are bars and restaurants within a 3 minute walk, including World of Beers, which has an excellent choice of drinks. The apartment is at the back of the complex though, so there is no noise or any passing traffic, very tranquil.

The in-unit washer & dryer was a big bonus and, being in a closet on the balcony, meant you could do laundry without it causing any disturbance at all.

I spent a fair bit of time at the pool, and all the other complex residents were very friendly and pleasant to talk to.

In summary, this will be my first option when I return to Austin and I can't wait to come back.

Thanks again Christina :)"

Her home truly accommodates 6 people in the most comfortable way. 
Everything is truly conveniently located.
7 min from Zilker
11 from SoCo
This experience deserves 5stars and more!
Would stay here again and again and again!

5499190,37909062,2015-07-11,36815634,Josh,Christina did such an excellent job making the place warm and inviting.  She communicates well and exceeded expectations.
5499190,39132803,2015-07-20,38752066,John,Christina was very proactive and accommodating. The place was immaculately kept and cleaned. The complex is quiet and convenient to access with great amenities including a pool and security gate. It's near great restaurants and shopping in the heart of 78704 and SoLa. 
5499190,40383776,2015-07-30,1505657,Phaedra,"Christina was wonderful! She stocked the fridge for us, left us tasty Texas treats and made every effort to help make our stay lovely -- from board games to an ipad, books galore to bathroom essentials. In terms of the the apartment, it was tucked away in a quiet part of the complex, but the neighbors we did meet were friendly. The space flowed well and allowed for nice family time between the kitchen and living room, but plenty of privacy with two bedrooms and bathrooms. And the location is perfect! You can walk to all sorts of restaurants, and it's a quick drive to Barton Springs or University of Texas, South Congress or any of the major freeways. I highly recommend this apartment and Christina as a host, and wouldn't think twice before booking with her again."
5499190,42014818,2015-08-10,38931446,Jjames806,"The whole thing was a wonderful experience. Christina was nice enough to leave us a stocked fridge, a clean apartment (that was in a good location), and overall made us feel very welcome. She has some movies/books/vinyls lying around that was a nice added touch for when we wanted to relax and hang out. Overall I'm really glad we stayed there, and we'll definitely try to stay there again whenever we go back to Austin!"
5499190,44222284,2015-08-24,36148584,Amanda,"Christina was very welcoming and so nice! She even set out a goody / treats basket with tea and snacks for us to enjoy during our stay. 

In the event we didn't know how to use something, Christina had a ""cheat sheet"" for us to use that listed where everything we might need was stored. 

This apartment was decorated nicely and was super clean - just what we needed for a girls getaway! "
5499190,46199914,2015-09-08,24947851,Tania,"Our stay was excellent. The apartment is very clean and comfortable.  Christina was very sweet and made us feel like we were home. She left us a stocked fridge and a goody basket, which was a really nice touch. The apartment has a good location, it is close to everything. Would definitely stay here again."
5499190,49112738,2015-10-01,2207625,Douglas,"As a previous guest at Christina's place, there's not too much more I can add in regards how good the apartment is, the location etc.

The only input I feel will be useful to other guests is to reiterate that Christina is an exemplary host, and is always the most accommodating and helpful host I've dealt with.
I look forward to my next visit to to Austin, and this will be my first choice from now on."
5499190,49771997,2015-10-06,36224313,Krista,"We had a wonderful stay at Christina's place - it was clean, modern and in a great location. She was a gracious host and we received a basket full of goodies upon our arrival which made us feel right at home.  We walked to great coffee shops and restaurants that were nearby. Would definitely stay here again, thanks Christina!"
5499190,50619521,2015-10-13,36059542,Paul,"Christina is a perfect host. She had everything we needed and left a great letter letting us know where everything is, and how to use everything. Her place was spacious and very clean. Definitely a perfect sized place for 5 or 6 people but could easily fit more. I would definitely recommend staying here. Her place is also very conveniently located and a quick commute to the zilker park, 6th street, and great eats on south Lamar."
5499190,52052167,2015-10-26,40516871,Lauren,"Christina was so sweet and easy to communicate with. She was there when we arrived, so was able to show us around her apt. and tell us about the area/make great suggestions.  She made the entire process very easy; her apt was very clean and true to the description; walking distance to local eats, shops and restaurants and bars. She even provided a welcome basket of goodies, breakfast items, and plenty of extra umbrellas for the rainy weekend. She went out of her way to make sure our experience was great and it was!   I highly recommend. "
5364571,28098776,2015-03-17,5056992,Mert,"Caitlin was a great a host! She made sure of everything that our arrival and a-week long stay went perfect. We enjoyed a lot her house. Although the place is a bit out of the city, there is a very convenient bus stop nearby and cycling around is really easy and fun. Caitlin's tips  added a lot to our experience in Austin. I would strognly suggest her place.   "
5364571,43163633,2015-08-17,13300738,Joyce,"Walter, Caitlin's boyfriend immediately messeged us to arrange the details of how we were to get the keys. Although we never met he left us a nice welcome note at the door with rules. The place was clean, tidy, provided us with extra towels. Thanks Walter for letting us stay! Austin is a wonderful city! "
5364571,44378538,2015-08-25,28876979,Yasmina,The style and design was great! Location was ideal being close to S Congress. There was a nice welcome note in the entrance and Walter was very accommodating. :)!
5364571,48771209,2015-09-28,2269168,Matt,"Walter, Caitlin's boyfriend, was very hospitable.  I didn't meet him in person but he let me know where everything was and made sure we had everything we needed.  We were even welcomed to any beverages or snacks in the fridge.  A great little place to call home base while we were in town."
5364571,49089181,2015-09-30,31309902,Rebecca,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5364571,50666445,2015-10-13,23742708,Matt,Excellent hosts! The apartment is in a great location and very clean. Walter (Caitlin's boyfriend) was very accommodating. We were a party of three and with the pull out couch it worked well. Great stay during Austin City Limits Weekend 2. Thanks!
1221209,7891233,2013-10-07,219563,Lois,"Good place, comfortable room, good location convenient to downtown on public transit. Grocery store and food options within walking distance (visit the Juice Well, Rio Brazilian Cafe, the HEB Grocery store, El Sunzal Salvadoran restaurant, and more)."
1221209,8020300,2013-10-13,219563,Lois,"This is a pleasant and convenient place to stay.
I had an upgrade, so I can't comment about this room except to say it looks fine, based on walking past it. Appreciated the towels. I did not use the kitchen, as I was out most of the time, but it looks good. 
Public transit to downtown is very easy. "
1221209,8054019,2013-10-14,219563,Lois,"One of three consecutive bookings (I added days). Mathew made the multiple bookings very easy. Good place to stay, convenient. "
1221209,12761424,2014-05-10,1245962,Joey,"Mat's place was great. He's a lot of fun, and very available for any questions. The bed is super comfortable, and the rest of the house is just as high quality. Roommates were similarly great, and I ended up hanging out with them a good deal.

You're near enough to the action that E 6th is walkable (maybe 20 min), but it's tucked away enough that there's no noise or anything. Wonderful experience."
1221209,13326130,2014-05-25,9690520,Lewis,"Mathew was a very helpful host, my experience in his house was a pleasant experience. The bus to downtown Austin was only a five minute walk away and the Internet connection was blazing fast."
1221209,15173308,2014-07-04,9956008,Steven,"Did not see Mathew but a few times, his roommates were friendly. The room is small just as pictured. I would recommend this for someone who travels alone and needs a simple space to rest and shower. Plan on returning, great value."
1221209,15373703,2014-07-07,12802618,Kris,"It was a great stay. Mathew was very accommodating. The bed was comfortable, the wifi worked, and everything was exactly as anticipated."
1221209,15604465,2014-07-12,2288851,Kyle,"Mathew was accommodating and responsive prior to my stay. Unfortunately, a last minute schedule change meant I wasn't able to stay the night, but the room was prepared neatly as advertised. "
1221209,16016837,2014-07-20,1609601,Brian,"My stay with Mathew was really great. Everyone in the house was really friendly and welcoming. I wasn't around much, but when I was, they always invited me to watch TV or grab a bite or whatever they were up to. "
1221209,16238951,2014-07-23,6338973,Jay,The room was great and Matthew was a pleasure to deal with. He's very accommodating and flexible. Highly recommended!
1221209,16816251,2014-08-02,2145755,Eric,"Matt and his roommates were extremely friendly and kind, yet gave me plenty of privacy as a guest. They were very welcoming and even invited me out on a bicycle ride to one of the many nearby bars. 
The house is in an excellent location--close to everything going on in the east side, but just far enough away from it that it's not a hassle. 
I had an excellent stay and would love to make it back next time I'm in Austin."
1221209,25210674,2015-01-09,1245962,Joey,"Matt's house was lovely, as per usual. Great value, great location."
1221209,27573084,2015-03-08,24491954,Jonathan,"Had a great extended stay at Matt's place. Excellent host and the room location in Austin's east side met my needs well. The house is about a half mile from the Town Lake trail, which is great and what I made use of every weekend to run while seeing the lake and downtown Austin. Location was minutes to downtown and other Austin locations as well. Bedroom was small but was good for my time there. Good amount of closet and drawer space was available in the room. Also had good use of kitchen and a wide variety of pots, pans, and plates. Bathroom was shared but never had to wait long to use it. Overall spent more than a month here and would recommend for anyone, especially an extended stay as the room was very affordable. "
1221209,28298098,2015-03-22,9824952,Dan And Tory,"Mathew's apartment was a good place to stay. It is well located in East Austin and easy to get to downtown. The price is affordable for the room. However, it was very busy during all of the fun and madness that is SXSW. There were many people staying at Mathew's apartment so the kitchen and living room got cluttered quickly. With the clutter and people, we didn't feel inclined to be able to to use the kitchen or the living room. However, that wasn't a big issue for us as we were out at SXSW or exploring Austin most of our stay. Overall, we had a good time at Mathew's place."
1221209,32234270,2015-05-16,4874698,Mogens,Everything was as the description said. Very friendly and helpful. It rained alot in Austin. I was happy to sit on the back porch and enjoy nice garden.
1221209,46573552,2015-09-12,29578067,Jonathan,Stayed there five weeks. Couldn't have imagined a better place to spend my time in Austin! Excellent for both work and play. Highly recommend.
1221209,48907289,2015-09-29,42433542,Kaycee,"Matt and his roommates were great. The location was good. There's coffee shops, restaurants and bars close by and even a bus stop right outside (which I didn't use, but should have). We stayed out of each others business (I did get offered dinner and TV time) and I'd say my stay was a success! "
1221209,50286397,2015-10-11,40810758,Charis,"Matthew and his roommates are super friendly, very welcoming and chill. Great place to stay for ACL. "
1221209,50526721,2015-10-12,43728962,Eric,"Good experience. I only dropped stuff off in the morning, went to Austin City Limits, then came back late and crashed, then left early for a flight. But very accommodating"
1221209,51311136,2015-10-19,12881327,Rick,"I could not have picked a better place to stay for a week in Austin. Mathew and his roommates were warm, welcoming, and very-laid back. The house is close to a supermarket, restaurants, and various bike paths. Only about a 10 min bike ride to downtown Austin, this house is the perfect location to explore the city. There is a park across the street that I enjoyed as well as a cool little coffee trailer I frequented every morning a few blocks away.  A bonus was their friendly cat who greeted me when I returned late at night. The house has an electronic lock which eliminated the need to carry (and lose) a key. Overall a very positive experience. Would book again. "
1221209,52723754,2015-11-01,45531962,James,"The consummate Austin experience! A groovy house in the newly-evolving hip East Austin -- just minutes from downtown shops, clubs, eateries, and the iconic Ladybird Lake and surrounding parks. Seen the gourmet food trucks on Austin travel shows? Throw a stick and you'll hit one! You're *that* in the middle of the hepness :) And your hosts, two tech-savy gents who can point you in the right direction or join you in pleasant conversation. Highly recommended :)"
2423738,20847138,2014-10-06,11709320,John,"Elizabeth was a fantastic host. She was super friendly in all of our interactions, very flexible, and very quick to respond with any questions that I had. Her listing was in the perfect location for out trip to ACL. Walking  distance to the park, to 6th, to the Capitol, and even to UT's campus. It was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. Would highly recommend staying here, and am planning on requesting to book for my next trip to Austin. "
2423738,21223089,2014-10-13,19395309,Diana,"Very enjoyable stay, comfortable and cute. "
2423738,21729925,2014-10-22,1835118,Grant,"Elizabeth was a wonderful host. Her place is conviently located and was very clean and comfortable. I felt right at home and would definitely stay again. Thanks so much, Elizabeth!"
2423738,22548098,2014-11-09,21733423,Taryn,"Elizabeth left us with home made rice crispy treats, which was a lovely touch and warm welcome to her home!

The space was cozy & inviting as well as clean.

The listing description was a perfect representation of the home itself.  Without being familiar with Austin and the area, the neighborhood was quiet and very charming.  We loved that it was a short walk to one of Austin's notable attractions, Hope Graffiti Park!  We did have to take cabs/ubers into downtown and to some of our other destinations frequently, though if we had more time we certainly could have made the walk.

Elizabeth did a wonderful job of providing us with a ton of restaurant recommendations, which was also very helpful.

"
2423738,22864310,2014-11-16,23452370,Kellie,"House was in a great location and very clean - accurate depiction of the house in the pictures.

One of the main windows was broken and covered with thick plastic - wasn't unsafe as you could lock the first entry door. A little cold but heat was able to make up for it.

Overall great experience!"
2423738,26569900,2015-02-15,12670422,Zach,"Staying at Elizabeth's bungalow in Clarksville was a great experience. Her place is really cool, and everything was nice & clean. She even left us some chocolate covered strawberries to top it off!"
2423738,27182624,2015-02-27,8022139,Sabrina,"We thought we had booked a small cottage but it turned out to be a garage apt in a back alley surrounded by many other renters. We left after one day as the bedroom was so bright we could not sleep. The TV was not working either and there was no hand soap or bottled water. It's a fine place for people under the age of 20 or so. For what it was we found it was overpriced having stayed at many other places in that price range which were much more attractive and suitable. 
"
2423738,28068163,2015-03-17,1100861,Marc,"Came for SxSW - Elizabeth was a wonderful host, everything super easy and lovely space!"
2423738,28296351,2015-03-22,3632474,Angela,"We stayed at Elizabeths home during SXSW. Her home is so lovely, nicely decorated, exactly like the pictures on airbnb. When we arrived we found delicious muffins in the kitchen. My favourite part of her home was the adorable porch - coming home from the SXSW madness everyday, this was the perfect spot to have a drink and relax before going to bed. I hope to stay here again next year.

Btw, her neighbours were super friendly as well and helped us get a taxi to the airport!"
2423738,38021216,2015-07-12,3218412,David,"I and one other friend had a great stay at Elizabeth's place.  It was as described, and very comfortable and cute.  Elizabeth also made us feel welcome and comfortable by providing lots of bottled water and even some delicious muffins.  Would definitely recommend!"
2423738,44254150,2015-08-24,4018113,Megan,Elizabeth was a great host.  Very prompt and her place was wonderful and just as listed.
2423738,47765397,2015-09-21,6866795,Eduardo,"The place was in a great location and in an immaculate condition. Elizabeth was kind enough and went out of her way to provide us with water and some candy. She was a little nervous at first because she had never rented to a group of guys, but we tried really hard to make sure to respect her place and her rules and take care of it as our own. The place was spacious as advertised and she was easy to communicate with."
2423738,49464939,2015-10-04,42408309,Julia,"Our experience in Austin will be remembered as a great trip to a great city - but our experience at Elizabeth's had nothing to do with our enjoyment of Austin. This was a case of false advertising and privacy violation. I should have flagged this as false advertising from the beginning when we first tried to book the house. I submitted all of our information and Elizabeth rejected our request and asked for more money! If you list your house at one price, you shouldn't change the listing once you find an interested renter. Secondly, on arrival day she changed the time of check in because of her cleaning lady's schedule. Not a huge deal, but also not ideal when you have people flying into town. We arrived at Elizabeth's address expecting a ""cozy bungalow"" as described by the listing. First, we couldn't find the house because of a poorly marked driveway. Second, the house was set back down a far, rocky, unlit driveway. Third, it would be better described as an apartment over a garage instead of a bungalow. The first of us to arrive opened the door to the porch and was dive bombed by a finch trapped in the porch. Nothing serious, but we didn't want the bird to fly inside so it was tricky getting in and out of the house without the bird darting in. To Elizabeth's credit, she warned us of the bird in advance. To her discredit, she didn't do anything about the bird. The rest of us arrived, six in total. We were exhausted from traveling and wanted to inflate the air-mattress so we could all get some rest. Sadly the air-mattress had no visible means of inflation. I messaged Elizabeth and she told me to use the hairdryer in the bathroom. There was no hairdryer to be found so we collapsed into bed - sleeping three to a bed even though we had paid for a place that provided real sleeping arrangements for six people. Around 9 the next morning I got a message from Elizabeth that her boyfriend was coming over to ""check on things"" and get their bikes. She did not ask if this was okay, if it suited our schedule, or if we were comfortable with the situation. No sooner had I read the message than I heard a knock on the door. All of us were in pajamas and barely awake and sure enough there was Elizabeth's boyfriend at the door. He came into the house, into one of the bedrooms where someone was in bed (is that even allowed when you have renters?) to retrieve something Elizabeth had forgotten (if you leave something when you have renters, you should figure out how to survive the weekend without it). He also informed us that Elizabeth had, in fact, taken the hairdryer with her for the weekend and was using it, thus leaving us without a means of inflating the mattress. First, we paid for sleeping space for..."
2423738,50119884,2015-10-09,5856160,Elizabeth,Elizabeth's place was great and offered easy access to Austin Startup Week. 
2423738,50753740,2015-10-14,17189537,Pam,"We loved our stay. The charm and character - added to with fresh flowers in each room - made for a wonderful stay. The neighborhood had much to offer - groceries, coffee shop and variety of restaurants all within walking distance.

2423738,51137811,2015-10-18,621430,Rachel,"Elizabeth was a great host! 

There was a little back and forth regarding our reservation but she and her boyfriend were very accommodating and made it work for our trip! The place was great! Comfortable for a group of 4 and was easy to get to all of the fun spots in Austin!"

2354956,12314068,2014-04-28,14516129,Justin,"This place was exactly what we were looking for. Very close to Rainey Street. Very Clean. Great atmosphere. Rob provided a very gracious check-in/check-out time. If i ever come back to Austin, this is where I plan to stay."

2354956,19828867,2014-09-19,7096239,Justin,Robert and his house were a perfect Austin getaway for my guests and myself. Just a stones skip away from downtown and right in the mix of some amazing restaurants and nightlife -- it was truly our home away from home. Big thanks to Robert for making our whole experience smooth and easy. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin! 
2354956,19956980,2014-09-21,20694056,Ryan,Place was great.

We had 5 people stay for 3 nights and the house was exactly as pictured on the website.  Location was fantastic.  Will stay again if I'm ever in Austin.  "

Great house and patio and so convenient to everything!! We will definitely come back!!! "

2354956,22289102,2014-11-03,14810660,Kameron,"Our stay at Robert's place was wonderful! Zero complaints for our group of four. We all slept, ate and relaxed with ease and comfort. The best part of the place was the fully equipped kitchen and grill. It made for a great cozy night in after partying a few nights at the local hot spots. Perfect location, especially for Rainey Street. For others that were just a tad out of reach, we used Uber. Austin is great for that. All in all, a very enjoyable stay! "
2354956,22534245,2014-11-09,581798,Vilay,The house was perfect for our group of 6.  It was located a a great location where we could walk to most places.
2354956,23405733,2014-11-30,18900536,Elena,"Loved this place. Close to Rainey street and 6th Street East. Rob made us feel very welcome. The house is charming, has a bbq and a chalkboard wall. It was also spotless - the cleaners are doing a great job. Thanks Rob!"
2354956,24870888,2015-01-03,14329130,Maria,"Posting is 100% accurate, actually underestimates how cool this house is. The space is really great, I spent 4 nights here with 5 girls, enough space for everyone. The bedrooms are quite spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The entire place is brand new and it's decorated really well. There is one bathroom, tons of towels, sheets and amenities. The kitchen is fully stocked and made it really easy to eat in and cook meals. I wish the weather was nicer so we could use the patio in the back. 
Location wise-- everything is pretty accessible in Austin, we had a car so getting around was really easy. 

CONS: no full length mirrors and lack of mirrors in general. [ i was with 5 females :) ] not enough trash cans in bathroom, kitchen. 

Overall, awesome place. "

Great location, easy to walk to numerous awesome restaurants and bars. Robert communicated everything clearly and we had no trouble checking in/out. I highly recommend this host!"
2354956,28066656,2015-03-17,5925900,Dana,"Very clean and spacious home, nicely decorated with local art. Rob was very prompt with communication. Plenty of towels, bathroom products, kitchenware, etc. Great stay!"
2354956,30212685,2015-04-19,29186689,Ken,We had a great time - the house was as advertised and comfortable for five of us. The location was convenient to getting around town and walking to Rainey Street. Rob was extremely responsive and flexible regarding check out. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. 
2354956,30702492,2015-04-26,30366225,Kristine,"Our host provided easy instructions to access the house... arrival and check out were a breeze!  We found that the house was true to the pictures and exactly as described. Very clean and included all the amenities we needed for 6 girls to stay (2 queen beds and an oversized comfy sofa that easily slept 2 with plenty of extra blankets and tons of towels!).  The location is walking distance to Rainey and La Barbeque (2nd best BBQ in Austin!), and a cheap uber to Barton Springs or anywhere else we wanted to go.  The host was very accomodating to our group and even allowed us a late check out. Would definitely stay again. "
2354956,32440286,2015-05-17,12372884,Lauren,"Robert saved the day (really my whole weekend) when he agreed to a very last minute accommodation request!  My original Airbnb booking was cancelled upon my arrival to Austin due to flooding issues, and my group of 6 was temporarily homeless.  Robert's house happened to be free that weekend, and he graciously gave me a call with access instructions and allowed us to check in immediately.  The house is beautiful, clean, and well stocked.  It's in a fantastic location that is safe and walking distance to Rainey St and E 6th St.  The outdoor patio is comfortable and relaxing, and the lanterns add a great ambiance.  Overall, a really wonderful experience!  Thank you!!"
2354956,33090548,2015-05-25,4922937,Rob,"Roberts place was perfect for our group! It was comfortable, had air conditioners, a nice backyard, and was well located close to Rainey st. I would definitely recommend it to others wanting to check out Austin!"
2354956,45943949,2015-09-07,5778673,Christine,"The Kitchen/Living room space was huge and perfect for our big group. There was also enough sleeping space for all of us (8 girls) between the beds, couches, trundle pull out, and air mattress. Unfortunately, there is only one TINY bathroom with no counter space....  so definitely bring extra mirrors!! Gorgeous backyard patio with white lights and outdoor seating. Located super close to Rainey Street, and an easy Lyft/Uber ride away from 6th street."
2354956,46844696,2015-09-13,21418552,Ben,Robert was very prompt with his responses to my questions and made the stay easy and relaxing. The house was in a great location and furnished well. Very cool artwork throughout the house and a very chill patio area fenced-in for privacy. Would definitely stay here again!
2354956,47734633,2015-09-21,20541132,Maryel,"The home is perfect! It is clean, spacious, and has a beautiful yard. We enjoyed our stay!"
2354956,48546209,2015-09-27,41756723,Andrew,"The house was extremely clean and spacious.  The whole thing had been renovated.  Cold a/c, stainless steel appliances, and trendy furniture and decor that fits the east austin vibe.  Despite being very close to Rainey st. and the eateries in east austin, the place was very quiet.  One of the 3 beds was a trundle underneath a queen bed in one of the bedrooms- we drug that mattress into the living room at night for a bit more privacy.  The only annoyance was that there was no paper towels and we had to be fastidious with our use of napkins.  That's really not complaint- just an FYI to people who book to maybe bring a roll of paper towels. Really could not ask for anything more."
2354956,49591741,2015-10-05,27945358,Greg,"The week of our trip Rob sent me a very detailed email explaining the check in/out process, and told me everything I needed to know.  He responded to texts and emails promptly, and was very pleasant to work with in general.  The house itself was beautiful and exactly as advertised.  It was a great experience beginning to end, and I highly recommend staying with Rob."
2354956,50268251,2015-10-11,17981744,Margaret,"Robert's place is actually much bigger than the pictures let on, the kitchen/living room area was very spacious.  It is walking distance from a B-cycle station which we used to get around town.  Its also walking distance from bars and coffee shops.  It was the perfect place to stay for the weekend.  Robert was extremely flexible with both check in and check out, we never saw him but the process was flawless!"
2354956,51150801,2015-10-18,23342006,Elysa,"This home is beautiful and the perfect location. It's in a quiet, modern area but just a quick ride from downtown. There are many cute coffee shops and great restaurants that are walking distance from the place. The house fit 6 comfortably, with two sleeping on the extremely comfy couch! Rob was great as well and was easily reachable for any questions we had. Definitely recommend this home! "
2354956,52052555,2015-10-26,11696556,Dishant,The house is in a good location. Close to downtown but quiet neighborhood. Nice place and very well kept.
4446205,27005207,2015-02-23,26909667,Alex,We had a very enjoyable stay at Erica's property in Austin.  The location was great with some awesome spots just around the corner.  The house was very clean and accommodated us perfectly.   Check in and out was super easy. Would definitely stay there again!

4446205,51299411,2015-10-19,7388747,Karen,"The place was wonderful for our low key weekend. The decor of the house was simple and great for our trip. We loved the large kitchen table and the house was quite clean. The house was conveniently located, with a Whole Foods just a few blocks away. It was a quick ride to several Austin neighborhoods. Turnkey was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. Whenever we needed something, we were able to speak to a representative who was friendly and ready to assist us."
4855450,28000829,2015-03-16,26181922,Bernard,"This property was incredible, perfect for a small group during SXSW. The house was immaculate and had many amenities to make the stay extra easy. It took about 15 minutes to get to downtown Austin and it was nice to be in an oasis outside of the craziness. The patio was perfect for relaxing and there was a park close by with great trail runs. Highly recommended!

4855450,28312096,2015-03-22,8687417,Ryan,"Dan was great and his property is awesome.  

The condo was just as described.  It is modern, comfortable, very clean, and fully stocked with amenities.  We really loved the open spacious floor plan as well as the patio.  

The neighborhood feels very peaceful, relaxing, and safe.  It's great having a neighborhood market that you can walk to that is only a couple of blocks away.

We had a total of 6 staying at the house on business during SXSW.  SXSW can be incredibly overwhelming a times.  It was nice to stay someplace just far enough away from downtown.  It only took us about 15 minutes with traffic to get to/from the center of the festival.

My group and I had a really great experience and will definitely stay here again!

4855450,49631718,2015-10-05,42395442,Craig,This place is amazing. It was a short walk to Zilker park for ACL fest. You'll be hard pressed to find a closer option. Dan bent over backwards to accommodate all of our weird requests. He was beyond flexible and made the whole thing a breeze. We're counting down the days until we can visit again!
4855450,50490206,2015-10-12,43623506,Steffany,"Dan and his family are wonderful hosts.  The house is beautiful and perfectly located for ACL.  We enjoyed our short strolls to the festival through a great path in the park and arrived at the main gate in no time!  Great area to run, swim at Barton Springs pool, or paddle board/kayak along the river.  "
8355635,50556671,2015-10-12,30728667,Claudia,"We had a great time during our stay! The house is impeccable, with all of the comforts and amenities of my own home. We fit 6 very comfortably, and it was very easy to catch an uber and get to downtime Austin. 10/10, would definitely stay again. "
8355635,51408813,2015-10-19,41483801,Chris,Great place to stay.  Owners were very friendly and accommodating.  House was stocked with everything you need for a getaway.  I would stay again.
8355635,52179890,2015-10-26,36220659,Lourdes,"I visited Austin with a few friends for my bday weekend. It turned out to be a rainy weekend, but this place was perfect for stay in weather. Everything is so clean and the design is minimalistic. The beds were comfortable and the living space is open for socializing. Oh! If you're one for awesome showers, this bathroom work is amazing. Courtney was so helpful with any issues we had and even offered to ship an earring left behind to us. I am so glad we chose this place and will definitely stay here again. "
8355635,52928263,2015-11-02,8481039,Vaduganathan,"The neighbor hood was good and well situated. Approx 15 min drive from downtown, mount bonnell / lake austin / loop 360 . The whole process of checking in and out was simple. The house itself was very good with 2 bedrooms and comfortable for 6 people . The house was filled with basic amenities and a lot of extras which came very handy . Courtney's selection of food and drinks added a personal touch. We were very glad that we had the chance to stay here and would recommend the same to anyone. "
7341825,48825363,2015-09-28,8314412,Gabriella,"Steven was easy to communicate with. The place is a new listing in his portfolio, so he was asking for feedback and advise on what to improve. We discussed some items, so I'm sure he will work on those. The apartment is not too far from South Congress, but you have to walk 15-20 min to reach the busier part with restaurants, we did that, without any issue. by car or Uber is really 5 min. The apt has a big living area with the kitchen, which is nice to hang out. One bedroom had a queen and room was quiet. The other bedroom has 2 single bed, this is facing the road, so I've found it noisy during the night and was using earplugs. Towels, fresh bedsheets were provided. Apt is old, but they tried to renovate, put some new furnitures and overall was pretty clean. Parking and safety was not an issue at all. "
7341825,50512586,2015-10-12,6117101,Joel,great little apartment.. great area.. perfect for a visit to austin

7341825,53125350,2015-11-05,45172913,Linda,Steven was a great host! He was always available for questions and concerns. The place was very cute and tidy. It was exactly as the description listed. Plenty of space. It's also conveniently located near the grocery stores and great places to eat! It felt just like home! I would definitely stay again!
847982,3775806,2013-03-13,5237707,Chelsea,Scott was great and the place was great!!
847982,3820774,2013-03-18,5167300,Rick,Rented Scott's house for SXSW.  Excellent location for that event.  Exactly 2.3 miles from Auditorium Shores.  Every type store / restaurant / bar you would need on the route.  Bus stops also just yards away from the house.  Neighborhood is quiet.  I am still wishing I could take Scott's kitchen and move it into my own place.  Excellent host.  
847982,7881934,2013-10-07,8638605,Erika,Great spot and nice place! Everything went without a glitch!
847982,10791578,2014-03-08,8890232,Drew,"I had a long-term, work-related stay at Scott's place and it could not have gone smoother. Scott was flexible, easily accessible, and very helpful with my unique situation. Overall it was a great stay and a great experience. Thanks Scott!"
847982,10941481,2014-03-14,5326016,Ashley,Scott's place was great. It was right across from a bus stop so very easy to get downtown to SXSW. Scott was very responsive and great to communicate with. The air mattress was also a great way to make the space accommodate more people. Would definitely recommend it to others!
847982,11222132,2014-03-25,9759297,Peter,"Stayed at Scott's place for just over a week in March.  Great place, great location, just a pity the weather wasn't too great to enjoy nights on the porch and that hammock!! "
847982,12397712,2014-05-01,11002820,Jaime,Nice location near Zilker and all the Lamar street action (surprisingly including the best brussel sprouts I've ever imagined eating at East Side King and a half mile from delicious Lick ice cream).  My fav was getting to lounge in La Pura Vida hammock on a lovely Austin day. Thanks for letting me borrow your door hanger so I had a place to hang my clothes.
847982,12587296,2014-05-05,3068389,Angeli,Scott's place was clean and matched the pics. It was easy to get in when we arrived. The location was great - easily accessible to south congress and getting downtown. 
847982,12860652,2014-05-12,2149518,Pamela,"This was a nice property in a good location near some of the hippest places in Austin.  Scott was easy to reach the rental went smoothly.  We used his airbed when we had an extra guest, and it was in perfect shape and very comfortable, with sheets, pillows, and blankets provided.  The house is slightly close to the second house on the property, but we only saw our neighbors twice."
847982,13685283,2014-06-02,12650240,Kelly,Scott's place was fantastic!!!
847982,14396784,2014-06-18,2514601,Judie,"Zilker guest house was conveniently located, very private but close to everything, restaurants , shopping, Walgreens right  across the street. Farmers  & flea market, food trucks on Sundays on the corner of S. Lamar & Bluebonnet .
Nice modern kitchen, clean space, although he was out of town during our stay, Scott  was easy to communicate with by email ."
847982,18843987,2014-09-01,3509545,Charly,Good location. Responsive host!
847982,21147205,2014-10-12,21333548,Forrest,Excellent place. The kitchen is really nice. Perfect for a couple wanting to check out Austin. The location is very hard to beat. Would rent again. 
847982,21910018,2014-10-26,22235442,Matt,"First time using AirBnB and it was really easy, but be aware I have nothing to compare to.  

Scott's place was nice, clean, and modern.  Hardwood floors were a nice touch.  A great space for a number of people - depending on the use of an air mattress or how cozy the two travelers will want to get.  It's basically a studio with a pseudo wall put up to delineate the ""living room"" from the ""bedroom"".  This wall has windows on it, so privacy is non existent.  

The air mattress was huge and easy to blow up, the couch was nice and comfortable, and the queen bed was great.  He uses feather pillows - which I am not a fan of - so be aware.  Just throwing that out there - do with it what you want.  The water pressure in the shower was worthy.  The TV has no cable, but didn't really impact us.  

The people in the main house have dogs that are cute and hop around a lot.  The porch is great, although you know you're in someone's backyard so it feels slightly awkward.  

First time in Austin, but location seemed pretty legit.  Off South Lamar is never a bad thing.  Neighborhood was nice and felt safe.

All in, with the air mattress, I would recommend for three dudes, two couples, or two people that don't want to get cozy.   

Scott seemed nice, although we never met.  He was responsive and gave me his number for text / calls if anything went wrong.  

Conclusion: rent this place.  Clean, up to date, and safe."
847982,23339124,2014-11-29,23658035,Karen,"Zilker Guest House...our new favorite place to stay in Austin!  From my initial contact with Scott, he was friendly, easy to work with and prompt in responding to questions I had.  The guest house is just as it is pictured and was exactly what we were looking for.  Located just off Lamar provided easy access to local eateries and made travel about Austin easy as well.  We were there for Thanksgiving and ate outside on the deck.  It was a perfect day and the neighborhood was great for a walk after our feast.  A memorable Thanksgiving for sure!  We hope to stay at Zilker Guest House the next time we're in Austin.  "
847982,24307208,2014-12-25,23899425,Jerry,"Scott provided us all of the information we needed ahead of time to make our arrival go smoothly.  The house was perfect for us; it was located very close to our family whom we were visiting -- within walking distance.  Also, the house was very close to stores, restaurants, and the downtown area.  Since there were only two of us, the size of the house was perfect as well.
The house is located in the backyard of the main house where others live.  Very quiet setting."
847982,26796759,2015-02-19,27231974,Bret,"The location is superb.  Great food all nearby.  Gourdough's public house...so damn addicting with those donut sandwiches!  

The bed was comfy, showers good, everything is updated with a clean and sophisticated look and feel.  

I was moving into Austin for a new job, and I was able to park a 17' Uhaul in the drive, very close to the place.  Put me at ease that nothing would happen to the Uhaul.  Not that it would, it's a pretty amazing neighborhood it seemed like.  

If you can afford it, do it, it's nice!  My dad, who helped me move into town, even said the couch was super comfy.

"
847982,27014246,2015-02-23,27377175,Shannon,"Scott was an extremely accommodating host. He made himself readily available whenever we needed anything, and was very flexible when our plans changed unexpectedly. The guesthouse was clean and cozy."
847982,27945712,2015-03-15,3108484,Kevin,"This was the perfect stay for us during our visit to SXSW. Clean, cozy and just outside the action made for a welcoming and productive weekend. Thank you Scott! "
847982,29723985,2015-04-12,24288034,Janet,The Zilker house was a great location. It was quiet & was as described. My only suggestions are to add some sort of closet to hang clothes. There was no coffee pot or kettle to boil water. No hairdryer provided which was inconvenient since we were flying. Also could not find a can opener. These are all just minor inconveniences and Scott was a very nice & helpful host.  This was our first experience & found it a little strange to have the owners clothes in the drawers and personal items around but maybe this is how it's done?
847982,47340186,2015-09-18,16466647,Sumpath,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
847982,48964924,2015-09-29,3849362,Juan,Everything ok. Thank you.

847982,52057144,2015-10-26,5656529,Eric,"My wife and I decided to visit Austin for our first wedding anniversary and quickly picked Scott's guest house after looking at the great pictures and the location.

The place was fairly clean when we arrived, although the bathroom could have been a little cleaner. The WIFI was sadly not really working throughout our stay here, which was a bummer because that's one of the first things we look for when booking a place.

The main issue we had was that Austin experienced an extremely large amount of rainfall and the house flooded pretty bad. The bathroom was so soaked that it was almost unusable and there were some pretty large patches of water throughout the house. We called Scott, but there was nothing he could really do since he was in New York so we just tried to make the best of the situation by using all the towels to try to dry all the large puddles of water throughout our stay.

Other than the flood the guest house is situated in the backyard of a house, walking up to the guest house is really pretty at night. Although the main residents seemed pretty quiet during the day, both my wife and I were woken up around 3am by the residents of the main house partying in the backyard, which really startled us because we were dead tired from traveling. We talked to Scott about this the next morning and they weren't a problem the rest of the trip.

Overall, Scott's guesthouse was in a good location and the kitchen is pretty nice, but  unfortunately the circumstances we ran into during our trip made the stay less than enjoyable."
847982,52607781,2015-10-31,45480463,Roy,"Scott was amazing-  he was available on the phone when we couldn't figure out the door code- even though he was in the hospital! We were in a huge storm, then we had to move to a different place due to the storm but Scott was very accomodating and took responsibility. He refunded us more than I expected and did it right away.

It only took ~20 minutes to get downtown. I would definitely stay there again!
1515444,10982358,2014-03-16,12035446,Allycia,Holly was absolutely the perfect host. I was new to the city and using public transportation she offered to drive me to the station before she went to work. She made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed.

The place is decorated nicely with everything needed in the kitchen so it worked out great!

I'd be happy to stay with her again if I need a place in the future!"

She welcomed me with snacks in my room when I arrived which was most appreciated since I had just had a long day of travel.  Everything was clean and comfortable and I was provided with everything I needed during my stay.  Highly recommend.

1515444,29588098,2015-04-09,28591815,Krish,"One of the best abnb places I have stayed so far. Clean , cozy , very well organized and has everything you need for the stay. Holly is a great host. Excellent communication and very accommodative. Thanks to her , this is one place that you will feel right at home. 
"
1515444,30045333,2015-04-16,28591815,Krish,"I stayed at Holly's a second time and it was just as wonderful as before. It's very evident that she has put lot of thought and effort into making this space very guest friendly. The TV in the bedroom with all the cable channels was a big plus for me. I also used the kitchen to make some light dinner one night. The house is super clean.
There are restaurants , coffee shop and  grocery store right around the neighborhood. 
And yeah Diesel, the little terrier, is the calmest , sweetest dog I have ever seen!
Thanks Holly! "
1515444,30271900,2015-04-19,31416070,Austin,"Holland was a perfect host for my first time as an Airbnb guest. She is very sweet and had all the accommodations I needed during the stay. I would definitely recommend her when visiting Austin. Great central location, really comfy bed!"
1515444,32995095,2015-05-24,7802424,(email hidden),Holland was an excellent host and made sure I had everything I needed. Her home is perfectly located for fast access to the tech parks and I was able to walk to HEB for groceries. The room and bathroom were spotless and ready for when I arrived. She has an adorable dog who is very quiet and sweet. Would certainly stay again. Thanks Holland!
1515444,33477120,2015-05-28,28591815,Krish,"A super host and a super clean place.
Two main reasons for me choosing this place repeatedly for my frequent visits to Austin.
Highly recommended!"
1515444,34266244,2015-06-06,35070424,Heather,"This was a great experience. It was my first time using Airbnb and I'm a believer. Holly was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Her place was convenient to my north Austin meeting, and the guest bedroom and bathroom was very clean. Not to mention some of the most comfortable sheets! I would definitely recommend staying with Holly if you are a fan of cleanliness, comfort, ease and saving money!"
1515444,42587681,2015-08-14,22347547,Larry,"Holland was a fun and gracious host who made me feel right at home.  Nice open apartment with your own bathroom - plus a lovable little dog named Diesel, who stopped into my bedroom to say goodbye just before I left.  I found the location to be convenient, with easy access to highways leading downtown, west Austin, and the airport.  I would return and highly recommend it!"
1515444,43420464,2015-08-19,17522235,Tee,The dog was really cool. 
1515444,48199358,2015-09-24,28591815,Krish,"Another fantastic stay at Holland's.
This time bigger room and everything you get in a hotel room and more ..
Comfy bed , TV with all cable , desk , attached bath.
Highly recommend it as always "
1515444,50026653,2015-10-08,28591815,Krish,Thanks for being flexible when I messed up the booking dates.. You are the best !!!
1515444,50204966,2015-10-10,15485304,Kelley,"I cannot recommend Holland enough.  Her house was super clean and comfortable.  Her dog Diesel is adorable.  While I only stayed a couple nights and didn't get a chance to chat with Holland much, I felt like she was someone I would be friends with if we lived in the same city.  Such a cool, laid back, interesting person.  If I ever go to Austin again, I would definitely stay with her if she had a room available."
1515444,50969235,2015-10-16,21901416,Thani,Holland was very very welcoming and help me settle in my room. The private room was very clean and accurate as per the listing. The locality was really safe and I had a good time at Austin. I would definitely recommend this listing to my friends. 
1515444,51616163,2015-10-22,28591815,Krish,"As always a very pleasant stay !!

1810161,17194144,2014-08-08,18285757,Ryan,The reservation was canceled 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1810161,33353995,2015-05-27,27248737,Gail,Enjoyed snacks left for us and appreciated offer to help ourselves to items in bar.  (We did not). All requests met time...pool cleaning required ( due to rains) and assistance with Internet.  Spot on service with these by Erica's team.  Awesome information/ instructions/directions provided prior to our arrival.  Easy to access.  Lovely mature neighborhood.  All better than I hoped for.
522136,1501839,2012-06-17,2627082,Noelle,"This condo was exactly what we were looking for: clean, comfy, an easy walk to downtown. Alexis is very pleasant and was prompt with emails and sent confirmation text messages with check in info and address. Upon arrival we found sodas and a couple beers stocked in the fridge along with a basket of munchies.  We had a wonderful stay here and look forward to our next visit. "
522136,1561170,2012-06-25,2637743,Chris,"A great one bedroom condo located in central Austin.  It was very clean and the owner Alexis was very hospitable.  She provided us with a basket of a few snacks (chips, pretzels, etc.) and had water and sodas in the refrigerator for us.  The bed was comfortable and the sheets were soft.  The wifi was free and fast (~15 Mbps down). The A/C worked very well which was great relief from the current heat wave central Texas is experiencing.

I would recommend this for anybody traveling to Austin by themselves or with a companion.  "
522136,1672395,2012-07-09,2839355,Jyosna,"I was in Austin for my birthday this past weekend, and we had stayed at this condo. The place was everything the pictures showed and more! Alexis was very good about making sure we got the key and that things were to our liking. Upon our arrival the fridge was stocked with drinks/refreshments and there was a basket full of snacks on the counter. The unit was extremely clean, has plenty of space, and its location was ideally close to downtown. This place was way better than staying at a hotel! :)"
522136,1726894,2012-07-16,2886616,Cody,Alexis was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had.  Check-in was super smooth and condo was exactly as expected (clean and looked just like the photos).  Would definitely recommend to others.
522136,1771450,2012-07-22,2663618,Jacob,"Decided to try AirBnB after the ATT conference center hotel filled up.  And I'm quite happy I did. Alexis made the stay much better than any hotel I've ever stayed at. It was clean, spacious and super comfortable. Would recommend it to anyone."
522136,1813598,2012-07-27,2499065,Anna,"My friend and I were in Austin on Holiday for 4 nights, we had an absolutely amazing time! and staying at Alexis' downtown retreat definitely helped! 
The place was perfect, better than staying in a hotel. So clean and had everything we needed and more. 
Alexis was a perfect host, got back to all enquiries within 12 hours and when we arrived at Downtown Retreat there was a lovely basket of snacks and a fridge stocked with all kinds of drinks and bagels. 
Would definitely stay here again if I ever get to come back to Austin! 
Thanks Alexis! "
522136,1894512,2012-08-05,2981547,Kate,"This condo is quiet, clean, comfortable, and in a great location with easy parking and air conditioning. If you are bringing more than 2 people, the bathroom setup is convenienient as the sink is outside the shower/bathroom area. Alexis left drinks and snacks for us and that was cool too. "
522136,1996918,2012-08-15,3160229,Henri,"Alexis's Downtown Oasis was really nice place to spend time in Austin. I never got to see her since she was on vacation but everything worked perfectly and she seems like a very nice person. The area is nice, close to downtown but still peaceful. Alexis had left us plenty of snacks and beverages which was awesome. The place was as in the pictures, nice and tastefully decorated. Wifi worked well, and it was nice to have a chancento use a washer. I have no complaints at all, the price seems very good for what you get. I would totally rent again."
522136,2024222,2012-08-18,3067931,João,"Apartement formidable, confortable and in downtown. Alexis was very kind in all the details."
522136,2056740,2012-08-21,3096288,Andy,"Alexis is a great host! she is very helpful in asking me for things that i need. the downtown oasis has everything! We arrived and found snacks on the counter. there were also cold drinks in the fridge waiting for us which is refreshing after our flight. Alexis definitely puts a lot of thoughts of all the small necessarities. my girlfriend forgot her q-tip for removal of makeup and lo and behold, there were some in the bathroom for us to use. This place is clean and look just like the pictures. I would definitely stay here again in the future when I go back to Austin!"
522136,2086373,2012-08-24,3301929,Christopher,"This place was exactly as described. Alexis was the perfect host.  If you're looking for a quiet place that is located close to downtown, this is your spot. "
522136,2112907,2012-08-27,3131648,Claudia,Alexis was a wonderful host! She met us at the condo and made us feel incredibly comfortable.  She even left us a basket of goodies and lots of refreshments. The condo was very clean and is in the perfect location.  It is located downtown and most of the places we visited were within walking distance or a 5 min car ride. Alexis was kind enough to recommend a few restaurants nearby and also gave us a list of local cab companies. Downtown Oasis is a home away from home and I will definitely be staying here again. 
522136,2313033,2012-09-17,3282653,Quincy,"Downtown Oasis was great. It was the perfect spot for my wife and I to spend a few days in Austin. The place was so clean and full of snacks and drinks. Way better than any hotel in any price point. Alexis was great to communicate with and was very fast in responding. There was a lot on information on where to eat, cabs, and other activities in Austin. The location was great, a short cab ride or 20 minute walk from 2nd or 6th streets, and it was nice to have a quiet place to sleep. 

I would definitely stay here again, and recommend Downtown Oasis. "
522136,2383392,2012-09-23,1557011,Bert,"This is a great place to stay, as many others have observed before me. It's very clean and comfortable and Alexis is a great host -- her restaurant suggestions, among other things, were excellent. From her place, you can walk down to Sixth street, and even to South Congress if it's not too hot, but cabs are easy to flag down and inexpensive. Try the Jalopy just around the corner for a quick bite. If you're into literature, make sure to visit the exquisite Harry Ransom Center at the TU campus -- a real treasure trove with manuscripts, letters etc from some of the most famous American writers. And yes, The Continental is a great club."
522136,2432902,2012-09-27,3459643,Rob,"The Downtown Oasis is what it claims to be. Walking distance from most downtown Austin has to offer and very quiet. Alexis thought of everything. Every drawer and cabinet had something practical to offer and the fridge was filled with drinks, breakfast and even dinner. Alexis was working when we checked ourselves in, but she used text messages to make sure we were ok and comfortable."
522136,2451060,2012-09-29,503091,Tiffany & Bill,"We booked Alexis's place last minute due to our original reservation falling through.  She was so accommodating and got back to us right away with all the details.  The apartment is fantastic!  Great location, super-comfy bed, and lovely decor.  She also left snacks, drinks and breakfast items for us in the fridge which was an extra we didn't expect.  Would most definitely there again! "
522136,2465045,2012-10-01,117674,Rebecca,We had a great stay here. It was exactly as described - very clean and quiet.  A wonderful oasis.
522136,2589671,2012-10-12,3637380,Caren,"All of the reviews, pictures & description of Downtown Oasis were 100% accurate. Alexis was a gracious hostess even though I never got to meet her in person. Her place was very clean, cozy and quiet. I appreciated how she had amenities like beverages & snacks, as well as shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. 
I would definitely recommend staying here if you need a place to stay in downtown Austin. I didn't have a car and the cabs would come within minutes of calling.
This was my first airbnb experience and will definitely be the first of many! Thanks Alexis!"
522136,2615539,2012-10-15,1653853,Ryan,"Alexis was a fantastic host. She was prompt and thorough with communication over email and text, and made the entire process extremely easy for us. Her hospitality was warm and welcoming, and the condo itself was clean and as shown in the online photos. I highly recommend and would certainly consider staying here again next time I plan a trip to Austin."
522136,2678153,2012-10-22,2742141,Agnar,"We stayed at Alexis apartment in Austin for three nights and we were delighted.  Everything was perfect, beautiful apartment, well organized, everything clean and well prepared.  It was like coming into a first class hotel with plenty of space and all details were thought of in detail.  If we ever would own an apartment for renting out we would ""copy"" Alexis way of doing it.  The neighborhood was quiet and jet very well located.  Thank you again Alexis for your positive attitude and quick responses to our questions."
522136,2729653,2012-10-27,3658976,Ziad,"Alexis was a wonderful host. She had  already prepared a bunch of maps and helpful notes about restaurants and places to visit in Austin.  She also left  juice, water, snacks and much more for me to use. Every drawer or cupboard contained a helpful item,  anything you need  is there in a labeled drawer/cupboard. The place was exactly as in the photos even better. Next time I'm in Austin I know where I will be staying. Thanks a lot Alexis!"
522136,2785610,2012-11-02,3564676,Amy,"Alexis made our stay in Austin so enjoyable by having such an lovely place to call ""home"" during our stay. When we first arrived we were amazed at the beautiful hospitality Alexis had arranged for us - the apartment was spotlessly clean, accomodated for 3 very comfortably and was stocked with everything we could possibly need - along with some yummy treats in the fridge, freezer and in our welcome basket! We would not hesitate to stay here again. We could not fault Alexis, she is a fantastic host and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Alexis for your generosity and sharing your goregous apartment with us.  "
522136,2822957,2012-11-07,630859,Arjun,"Even though we never met, the host kept in contact and seemed very nice. Even accommodated us to let us leave our bags in the room till the evening after checkout, as our flight was later in the day. Very clean place. House was stocked with drinks and snacks, kitchen utensils and silverware, towels, sheets, an extra air mattress, and much more. Scissors, ibuprofen, Febreeze, etc... the little things you always wish you had when traveling but never seem to. I don't know why anyone would stay in a hotel. There is also free laundry in the apartment complex. And honestly, the bed was more comfortable than my own, and I own a supposedly expensive Sealy posturepedic or something.

It's not quite in the downtown area, but pretty close by. A 5 minute bike ride or 15-20 minute walk to the main 6th street area. Friendly neighborhood bar just a block away though with tons of beer on tap and authentic British pub food.

My friends and I would stay here again"
522136,2874856,2012-11-13,3469350,Lexi,"Alexis is very thoughtful, which was evident in the accommodations she has available in the apartment. I was even able to check in early! She was available by phone anytime I had a question, and is very professional. Better than any hotel I've stayed in. Thanks Alexis! "
522136,2894260,2012-11-16,3023291,Nora,Alexis was a great host.  Just the right amount of communication before and during our trip; all the vital information was included.  Great location as a home base for Austin; within walking distance of many sights and public transportation.  Included parking made longer jaunts easy.  The unit is very comfortable for two people.  Super clean with many extra nice touches that will make your stay comfortable and pleasant.  Highly recommended!
522136,2925509,2012-11-20,2692195,Alanna,"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Downtown Oasis during the Formula One weekend.  The place was easy-to-find, quiet, very comfortable, and centrally located enough to walk to several places.  Alexis thought of everything for us including maps and reviews for places to eat, instructions on how to work and find everything, and a thoughtfully-stocked goody basket and fridge.  All in all, the Downtown Oasis was perfect, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.  We couldn't have had a better experience as new Airbnb users.

"
522136,2982086,2012-11-27,910938,Allison,"My friends and I had a wonderful stay in Austin! Alexis is the perfect host: she was always replying right away to any of my emails, text messages or questions. We arrived on Thanksgiving day and we were worried about not finding any place to eat or buy food. She gave us advice to find places and left beverages and snacks to welcome us. My friends forgot her glasses at the apartment when we left and Alexis was really nice and sent them back to New York right away. Everything was perfect! The apartment is clean, spacious and quiet, very well located and has everything you need (Internet, TV, towels, kitchen utensils, etc..). This is really the perfect place to stay in Austin. I highly recommend the Downtown Oasis and thank again Alexis for her warm welcome!"
522136,3024175,2012-12-04,3825055,Chelsea,"Alexis was a wonderful host! The condo was very clean, quiet and accomodating. we will be back for sure! Alexis provided restaurant reccomendations for us as we are vegetarians and all of them were great. Better than any hotel! "
522136,3101701,2012-12-17,3913674,Honda,"Our stay here was amazing! The place was so cute and happy that I wanted to move in. Not only was it clean, well-lit, and beautiful, but Alexis had also stocked the place with just about anything you would need while traveling, but would probably forget or not think to bring. One example is the lint remover I found. That really came in handy! There were also cooking utensils that we took advantage of as well as a fridge that was stocked with beverages and snacks. There were extra pillows, blankets, plenty of towels...we wanted for nothing! When I come back to Austin, I don't plan to stay anywhere else. :) 

Oh and Alexis was also super responsive when I texted her with a couple questions. "
522136,3156508,2012-12-25,980255,Kristen,"The place was exceptionally clean and well-stocked with snacks, toiletries, etc..  Great location as well.  I'd definitely stay here again."
522136,3261995,2013-01-04,3932733,Jodi,"Words can't really do justice to this AMAZING HOST and PEACEFUL SPACE! It's more of a feeling that you've been blessed. 
Alexis was 100% on top of EVERYTHING. From creating a warm, welcoming, wonderful space to prompt text replies, to careful attention of her guest's unique needs, Alexis made sure of my utmost comfort and enjoyment. I came to Austin to recharge my superpowers and left feeling the best I had in a long time. Thanks Alexis and Thanks to all the lovely folks about town. Don't hesitate to enjoy Austin from the OASIS. Cheers,
Jodi "
522136,3309764,2013-01-08,4304839,Allen,"Its a very nice and quite spacious condo. Its well kept, maintained and well stocked. It feels very cosy and comfortable. A nice home away from home is how it feels. Its situated in a quiet neighbourhood which adds to the home away from home feel. Location is near the university campus grounds but in Austin I strongly recommend you get a car as the buses here leave alot to be desired. The owner Alexis was very helpful and communicative. She is a great host. I had a great stay."
522136,3512205,2013-02-11,3991608,Sarah,"Thanks, Alexis. I didn't stay here but Alexis was great to deal with as I made the arrangements. Hope to visit Austin myself one day!"
522136,3565363,2013-02-18,1218202,Scott,We had a great time at the Downtown Oasis. It is in a good location and the flight is modern and comfortable. Perfect place to stay in Austin.
522136,3616425,2013-02-26,2781178,Ashley,"This apartment was absolutely wonderful. It is walking distance to downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. Highly recommended for an affordable, nice place to stay in Austin."
522136,3629891,2013-02-26,4994856,Olin,"This was my first time on AirBnB, and Alexis delivered!  Great spot (in a great city) came stocked with snacks, nice-smelling room--freshener, and a very clean appearance.  She's got the details figured out, from handy guest book and extra bedding (if you and your traveling partner aren't sharing a bed), to, well, snacks.   I cannot say enough about the awesomeness of (FREE) snacks ready to eat when you walk through the door.  

 In town for a conference down at the Omni, it was the perfect distance for a daily walk to and from the hotel right past the (apparently largest in the country?) capitol building.  Loved it. Alexis was prompt in her communications, simple and straight-forward in her instructions, and made the entirely novel experience, almost entirely painless.  One recommendation:  a bottle of ibuprofen handy for the ""6th St. aftermath.""  Holy cow, nightlife here is the real deal.

Thanks Alexis for your accommodations... highly recommended!  My first trip to Texas as well, made seamless with your thoughtful, thorough attendance to the needs of the common traveler.  "
522136,3681927,2013-03-04,4137963,Brenda,"The downtown oasis was just as Alexis has described. It was clean, spacious and accommodating. The snacks she left were definitely useful after a 4 hour flight as we figured out what we would eat for lunch. Both the bed and futon were comfortable and we were very happy to be able to iron and hang up our clothes in the large closet for our trip. 

It takes less than 5 minutes to drive downtown and the downtown oasis has a parking lot under the building that was never full throughout our trip. It was easy to check-in and check-out. We didn't meet Alexis, but through our communication, it felt like we did! I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin! Thanks Alexis!"
522136,3718508,2013-03-07,458871,Reinaldo,"Alexis' place is located in a very quiet residential area in downtown, close to the University of Texas or The Capitol, and not far from The Convention Center (30 min walk). You really don't need a car if you like to walk. Austin is a very pleasant city and people of Texas are nice and warm. 

The apartment  is super cozy, clean,quiet, cool and has all the appliances and stuff (freezer, microwave, A/C, comfy bed, TV, fast wifi) you need for a wonderful stay.

I really felt at home and needless to say, Alexis is a very responsive, helpful and nice host. She left food and drinks for a starving traveller who arrived at 1am and made sure I've had everything I needed. 

Highly recommended. "
522136,3759751,2013-03-12,3208575,Kemal,"Dealing with Alexis was nothing short of fantastic.   She has her s**t together.   She treats this in a very professional manner and so it takes away the worry of having any problems.   
The place itself is great.   I was a bit worried that it would be too far away when at SXSW, and while it's not a block away, the walk is easy 10 - 15 mins.  Also there is a free laundry in her building 2 doors away so that's nice to have when travelling

Add to all that she left us snacks and drinks!   So nice to arrive after a long trip and feel like you are home.   Alexis is your home away from home ""mom""

Do yourself a favor and stay here "
522136,3814361,2013-03-18,4635422,John,"We loved staying at Downtown Oasis. Alexis was super professional, gave us all the info we needed and was easy to contact throughout the stay. The apartment was great, clean, well stocked and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again."
522136,3971206,2013-04-01,1670890,Christina,"Alexis' place is totally perfect! We had the most marvellous time in her apartment whilst visiting Austin for a couple of days - everything you could possibly want (and much more) from Airbnb at a very reasonable price. It's a home away from home - lovely towels and linen, well-stocked kitchen, beautifully decorated and everything helpfully labelled, and even sodas/snacks from Alexis to help ourselves to! Alexis was very quick to respond and her brochures/suggestions about Austin are better than a visitor centre.
If you are looking at other places/hotels - don't bother! Thanks Alexis! We'll be back."
522136,4048368,2013-04-05,1391825,Athan,Place was awesome. Alexis was very helpful with any questions we had.
522136,4115914,2013-04-11,672296,Philip,"The perfect place for me. Great location, great rates, great service from Alexis. If the description looks good to you - then book it. Alexis is superb. Very attentive (even though I never even met her). There were welcome snacks and drinks waiting on my arrival - that gives you an idea of how much she cares. Thank you Alexis. "
522136,4217379,2013-04-19,1588728,Linda,"This is a great place to stay if you are in Austin. Alexis communicated promptly and frequently with me, and her arrangements for the key hand-off made it very easy and convenient to get into her place. The condo itself is located on a nice tree-lined street, and within walking distance for my meetings downtown and dinner/drinks a few blocks away. Inside was clean and comfortable, with all the amenities you might need. She also provided light breakfast foods and snacks. The bed is softer than I prefer, but for 3 nights this was well worth it. "
522136,4310308,2013-04-27,1642088,Irene,"Downtown Oasis was a lovely little spot for us.  It was a bit away from the heart of downtown, meaning my husband took a $7 cab to his meetings at a hotel downtown.  But as a result, it was very quiet and private.  The neighborhood was nice, and I walked to downtown on a casual stroll.  The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Alexis left us a welcome message as well as little treats in the fridge and on the kitchen counter. Also provided, is a wonderful binder of things to do in the area along with copies of maps we were free to take with us.  Though we never actually met Alexis, she was easy to reach via text messaging. The apartment sleeps two comfortably. A fold down futon in the living area sleeps two more, but maybe children would be better than a second couple as there would be little privacy.  This apartment, located between the university campus and downtown was very clean and comfortable, and we would definitely return."
522136,4376067,2013-05-01,5138404,Erin,"Alexis' condo was in a great location, and it was a perfect size place for me and 3 friends. Alexis was very accommodating and even made up an extra bed for us. The condo was very clean and had everything we needed for our four-night stay. I would definitely stay here again and I'd recommend it to others!"
522136,4444965,2013-05-06,1657297,Alexis,"We could not have been happier with our stay at the Downtown Oasis! We were in town for a few days for a friend's wedding, and by the end of the trip all of our other friends were jealous of our convenient, spacious and super clean accommodations. The location of the apartment is nice- it's on a quiet street, but it's an easy walk to 6th Street during the day, or a super short cab ride if you are coming back at night. It's also very close to the UT campus. 

The host Alexis was so professional! She was helpful, friendly, responsive, and as available as we needed her to be. She was up front with the check in and check out process, and was wiling to be flexible. She also went above and beyond by being sure to recommend fun, local stuff to check out in the area. She was all you could hope for in an Airbnb host. 

I cannot say enough good things about this place. I want to note that we looked at a few different places on Airbnb for our trip to Austin. Though were tempted by some of the places that were slightly cheaper, I am so happy that we went with Downtown Oasis. It was worth every cent and then some. For all that you get, it is very fairly priced."
522136,4800133,2013-05-27,5046736,LeAnn,We had a terrific time at the Downtown Oasis in Austin!  Alexis has the place stocked with goodies and everything under the sun that a person could need while on a get away.  I would recommend this place like a million times over!!  We will definitely be staying here when we get to Austin again.  I can't say enough about how wonderful Alexis is and the condo!
522136,4878715,2013-05-30,6253396,Katrina,"The Downtown Oasis was a terrific experience.  The apartment was extremely clean, well organized and the location is very central making it convenient to get around town.  Alexis was an accommodating host - she was communicative and readily available for questions.  As others mentioned, the apartment was stocked with some beverages and snacks which was a nice touch.  Highly recommend this rental."
522136,5004664,2013-06-07,5001536,Carsten,"We stayed in Alexis‘ condo for 6 days. Unfortunately we did’t meet Alexis in person, nevertheless communication war very good (SMS, E-Mail etc.). Her condo is absolutely perfect and with passion towards the details and super clean. We didn’t miss anything!! Neighborhood is very quiet and comfortable. The 6th Street is only some blocks  away. We loved this accommodation and would come back immediately !! Thank you Alexis."
522136,5210479,2013-06-18,3775515,Michiel,"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Oasis Retreat. Alexis keeps the place very tidy and surprised us with small extra's, such as drinks, juices and even breakfast bagles. The location is prefect; it is only a short walk to the Capitol and centre of Austin and on a very quite street. If our travel plans again call for Austin, we will certainly stay here again."
522136,5306985,2013-06-24,4884039,Heather,"Wow!  We loved every minute of our stay in Austin at Alexis' condo!  Clean and modern and cool with a great kitchen and laundry area that's right out the front door, we couldn't have asked for anything better.  Alexis provided some wonderful restaurant recommendations (Hut's Hamburgers!!) and some breakfast items and snacks.  The neighborhood is close to lots of entertainment, 6th Street, Lady Bird Lake, (website hidden). and a bunch more.  AWESOME!"
522136,5456725,2013-07-01,1523005,Jojo,"I really enjoyed my stay at the Oasis. Alexis was an excellent hostess. We had everything we needed. The snacks, refreshments, and light breakfast foods she provided were clutch. She knew we planned to do some tubing on the river and let us borrow a small soft cooler for the trip! "
522136,5600284,2013-07-08,5928925,Britta,"My stay at the downtown Oasis was a wonderful experience. The location is perfect because you are close enough to downtown with a quick cab ride. The oasis was in a quiet location with many restaurants in the area. Alexis was so accommodating. When I  arrived she had snacks and  drinks which was very thoughtful. She also allowed me to have an early check in due to my flight. Additionally, because of a last minute flight cancellation, she was able to accommodate another nights stay. She was very prompt in responding and easy to reach. This airbnb definitely exceeded my expectations and I will be revisiting Austin soon.  Thanks Alexis! "
522136,5724166,2013-07-13,7364719,Ashley,Alexis was a wonderful hostess! She made it easy for us to arrive whenever we needed and had everything ready when we finally made it! My friends were very impressed with how nice the place was and it's great location! I would love to stay here again. 
522136,5834936,2013-07-18,7353863,James,"If you are coming to Austin, then look no further than 'Downtown Oasis'. It is the perfect accommodation. Great location, extremely presentable and tidy apartment and best of all? A fantastic host. I don't think I have stayed in many AirBnB's where not only are you greeted with a welcome message, but a fridge full of soda and supplies of chips, coffee, candy etc. A really nice touch. For me it's the best AirBnB I have used. Would book again in a heartbeat. Fantastic."
522136,5919798,2013-07-22,7201913,Kaitlin,The apartment was clean and in a wonderful location!  Alexis was an awesome host and I would recommend this place to anyone. :)
522136,5976204,2013-07-24,7665266,Kim,"Awesome place to stay- clean, great location and nice host.  So accommodating. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Me and my kids loved it (: "
522136,6257786,2013-08-05,7684633,Brendan,"This was our first time using airbnb and I honestly don't know how we have been staying in hotels for so long! Alexis was a fantastic host and her Downtown Oasis is a wonderful place to stay while exploring all that Austin has to offer. She was very thoughtful and even left an assortment of snacks and soft drinks for us in the kitchen!

The place was immaculate and tastefully furnished with many Ikea pieces. The linens were clean and soft and the A/C was cold. If you are coming to Austin without a car, I highly recommend signing up for a Car2Go carshare account prior to arriving and downloading the Ridescout app. We were visiting from DC (which also has Car2Go) but I've never seen such a dense concentration of Car2Go Smart cars in one place. Bus service throughout the city was pretty good as well and a lot of bus routes run just two short blocks away at 17th and Guadalupe. Downtown is just a short walk away but getting to South or East Austin is a little bit farther so a bus or car comes in handy in those instances.

Our one complaint was a pair of noisy dogs in the unit next door. It seemed to be another vacation rental unit, possibly even airbnb due to the lock box on the door handle. The unit sounded like it was empty the first couple of days but on the day before we left someone moved in with a pair of very yappy dogs that barked incessantly. Annoying? Yes. End of the world? No. We were out so much that we didn't have to listen to them that much.

It would have been nice if the building offered recycling. We felt pretty bad about trashing so much recyclable material.

All in all, Downtown Oasis is a superb place to stay! Ideal location, comfortable, and fairly priced. Definitely looking forward to returning at some point down the road! "
522136,6299525,2013-08-07,6266409,Sophie,"Alexis apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. It was very roomy for the three of us, super clean and had so many extras which really made us feel at home. Alexis was fantastic to communicate with before and throughout our stay and the apartment had lots of brochures, information and tips on local spots. We absolutely loved Austin and can't wait to come back and stay with Alexis!"
522136,6435748,2013-08-12,5160021,Adenrele,Great locaiton and FANTASTIC apartment. Well decorated and fully stocked. 
522136,6810142,2013-08-26,7042922,Katie,We were visiting Austin for the first time and this place was perfect! Great location and very cute! Alexis was also very fast in responding to any questions you may have. Definitely a greqt choice we made! Thanks Alexis!
522136,6980666,2013-09-02,6276867,Gem,"The location of Downtown Oasis was perfect for our stay - near a few really good bars and restaurants (especially the dog and duck and the Texas chili parlour), super close to the Texas State Museum, UT campus and stadium (hook 'em horns) and near enough to walk down to 6th street bars etc. 

The place is fantastic - the air conditioning was especially good, plenty of room and space, very clean and relaxing. Alexis was really generous, left us snacks and plenty of cold drinks (which were needed), and everything is really well thought through. Loved it!"
522136,7225337,2013-09-11,771947,Clement,"I love the location! Extremely close to downtown Austin!

On the whole, it is a pleasant place and surprisingly hospitable; Alexis provides a clean roll of hand-towel for use, washing liquid, a fridge filled with a few boxes of juices and some snacks, etc and tea bags & coffee at the kitchen table.
There is also a clean whistling kettle and sufficient utensils.
The oven is in a tip-top working condition that heats up in no time.  Washing machine area is so nearby and accessible (just next to our apartment).  The entire apartment is covered by very good condition mosquito netting that keeps the insects away; we were not bitten by any mosquitoes.  It has a spacious living room and a large and nice dressing table just outside the bath room.  Alexis even provides good quality bath soup (Dove).
 
The living room has a beautiful ceiling fan that makes the environment feels very homely. 
 
What can I say?  I have absolutely no complaints & will definitely recommend this apartment to everyone!"
522136,7282440,2013-09-14,8168470,Zoe,"Alexis was a wonderful host! Her place was beautiful and the perfect place to retreat to while we stayed in Austin. She was also a very kind and helpful host, always available and quick to respond to any questions."
522136,7323283,2013-09-16,4225827,Robin,"Alexis is the perfect host! Her place was SPOTLESS and very very quiet. She left us snacks and cold beverages and bagels and cream cheese and there were other goodies there as well. Everything that you need was in the apartment from a full set up kitchen, extra bath towels, soaps, shampoos, blankets, iron and ironing board, cleaning supplies, etc. Super helpful as well as the Sunset Bat Cruise via Capitol Cruises she recommended was the best! Walking distance to quite a few restaurants (The Dog and Duck Pub was less than 5 minute walk), the State Capitol and bus lines. We live in NYC so we walked everywhere in Austin BUT we did rent bikes one day from Austin Bike Tours & Rentals and they delivered and picked up from her place. (There are 2-street bike racks in front of her building). Alexis' place sits right on a main bike thoroughfare that brings you to the start of one of the many bike paths in Austin. Alexis also had information about restaurants and sight seeing. Cable TV and WiFi access. I highly recommend staying here for work or pleasure or for a few days or more. I have already recommended this apartment to friends of mine. I will certainly stay here again when I come back to Austin."
522136,7506956,2013-09-23,7411346,George,"Alexis really thought of everything.  The studio apartment is setup nicely and all of the amenities you could possibly need for a short stay are available and clearly marked so you can find them quickly.  Her unit was very clean and cozy.

Alexis herself was very helpful, periodically checking in via text to make sure our stay was going well.  She has numerous resources in the apartment including a book of some fun places in the city that she recommends and a travel guide. 

The building is close to UT which was very convenient for me, and still within walking distance of East Sixth Street and other downtown destinations for those who like to walk.

522136,7688761,2013-09-30,5594172,Stephanie,"We went to Austin to get married and wanted to have a spot as close as possible to a lot of the city's sights.   This place delivered!  Everything about the apartment was perfect.  Alexis is an amazing host and she makes sure her guests are taken care of. We enjoyed our stay at the Downtown Oasis so much that it was hard to leave.  We will come back soon and definitely recommend staying here.  Thank you, Alexis for having an amazing place!"
522136,7913141,2013-10-08,1410963,Richelle,"Alexis is so nice and accommodating. The location is great, easy to walk everywhere and quiet. The condo is roomy, clean, and includes literally every item you need to have a comfortable stay. I will definitely rent from her next time I'm I'm Austin and will recommend Alexis to all my friends. "
522136,8077949,2013-10-15,6689962,Ly,"We had an excellent stay at Alexis' Oasis.  The 4 of us fit in the apartment comfortably and she makes it super welcoming and easy to check in/out.

It's super convenient to cabs, closet to UT, and an awesome British pub around the corner. "
522136,8250510,2013-10-22,7958353,Sandip,Alexis was a fantastic host and this location was excellent. Great communication via Airbnb's app and I had no issues with the place. Amazingly well furnished and very comfortable! Location is great too - quiet and away from the downtown action but within easy walking/bus distance to everything. 
522136,8441740,2013-10-31,7388171,Sheryl,"This place is FANTASTIC! My husband and I stayed for a week at the Downtown Oasis and it was just wonderful. Alexis made sure we had everything we needed - and I mean everything. After a long day of traveling we walked into her apartment with snacks, a cute note, and travel guide waiting for us!  She also had a first aid kit, sunscreen, insect repellant, and even bags to bring to the farmer's market; really you name it and it was there. The place was extremely clean and well kept and Alexis checked in regularly to make sure we were comfortable and to give us the update on things like parking changes to let us know to move our car. She really runs this like a business, which we really appreciated. The location is within walking distance of nearly everything. This made for a great first experience with airbnb and we can't wait to book our next trip to Austin. When we do, you can bet that we will stay at the Downtown Oasis again."
522136,8490935,2013-11-02,9589822,Ray,"Amazing place to stay, and Alexis is a wonderful host!

Hassle free to check in/out. Free wifi/snacks and extra bedding. Apt was well kept and super clean/comfortable. Only a few minutes walk to downtown Austin and 6th street. Literally 2 blocks from UT. 

Would definitely recommend and would consider staying again next time I'm in Austin."
522136,8558349,2013-11-05,5125164,Alina,"My boyfriend and I spent 3 nights at Downtown Oasis and absolutely loved it! Alexis has gone above and beyond in providing everything guests could need. Drinks, snacks, toiletries, laundry detergent, brilliant! The location was lovely. It's an easy walk to the Capitol and onto sixth street, and the building was really secure. It's also really close to the university of Texas, where we went to see a longhorns game which was great fun. Check in and check was made really easy with a lock box for the key. The apartment was spotlessly clean, and looks just like the pictures. Also really spacious, with a walk in robe to hang your clothes up in. One of the best airbnb stays we had on our trip to the US!"
522136,8603214,2013-11-07,9356668,Matthew,"Alexis's Downtown Oasis was exactly that: a quiet, well-furnished, comfortable apartment ideal for people with business near downtown or UT. Alexis went above and beyond with complimentary treats and a whole host of other fine touches that one would be hard pressed to find at even the fanciest of hotels. Next time I'm in Austin I know exactly where I'll stay :)"
522136,8739323,2013-11-15,7038826,Vir,"Great place, great location and great host. 

Place is clean and has everything you need(fresh towels, tea/coffee, dvd's to just name a few)

Location (Walking distance to downtown, museum, state capitol, and its SAFE)

Host (Alexis was helpful in letting us know where to eat, drink, shop). She communicated with us throughout our stay.

We definitely recommend to stay here."
522136,8811661,2013-11-19,3433892,Rachel,"Alexis was the perfect host, she stayed in communication the whole time and responded extremely quickly to any questions we had. The apartment was great, had everything we required and more. The goodies that Alexis left for breakfast alone with the wine and beer were a very welcome touch. Location was also prefect, not to close to the action for noise to be an issue but close enough 6th street was just a 20min walk away. I would not hesitate to recommend both Alexis and her Downtown Oasis to anyone I know who was looking for a get away to Austin"
522136,8928388,2013-11-26,4090548,Frederic,The Oasis was a great home base for me on a recent trip to Austin.  The condo was centrally located and super convenient to get to and from all the places I needed to get to.  I also loved how clean and well kept everything was.  Alexis is a professional and had all the details down pat.  The little thing that I appreciated the most is she remembered a detail from our e-mail exchange from a couple of months earlier and made sure that the kitchen/cookware I needed was in stock.  She has the Airbnb hosting down pat.  Stay at the Oasis with confidence!  Thanks Alexis!
522136,8961557,2013-11-28,9531233,Jon,Couldn't be happier with every aspect of this place and Alexis. Alexis was very accommodating and left no detail untouched.  The place was very nice and close to downtown yet far enough for the peace and quiet. Highly recommend staying here when coming to Austin.

522136,10313424,2014-02-12,11507133,Leo,"I can't speak highly enough of Alexis' place in Austin. The place is spacious and clean, and really convenient for loads of places you'd want to visit (although I would say, in general, that a car is useful to have in Austin as its a big place). On top of that, Alexis left loads of drinks and snacks in the apartment which was great and so generous! She was also really good with directions, instructions and answering questions before and during our stay. A great find!"

Alexis thought of everything to make the stay perfect. She even allowed us to use both parking spaces that she owns in the garage. I loved staying in her home and would 100% recommend it to anyone.
522136,10682406,2014-03-03,11476247,Ja,"Everything was great during our stay. Alexis had the couch made up and ready to use. Snacks and drinks were provided and came in handy as we were on the go and in and out the whole weekend.

Alexis also provided coffee, juice, and bagels - the perfect quick breakfast and energy support needed before heading out for a day in Austin.

The location was convenient for us. We did drive everywhere for our activities but were able to walk to Tiff's Treats for an end of day treat."
522136,10774281,2014-03-07,7983177,Justine,"Alexis was a wonderful host. She very accommodating and her place was beautiful! There were little magnets and snacks waiting for us, everything was very well laid out and clean. 

The master bed was very comfy, the floor mattress was a little firm but, I like that so it worked out really well for me. 

We came for SXSWedu and walked to the convention center everyday, it's a pretty easy 2 mile walk. We car2go'd everywhere else. 

Alexis was super responsive and sweet, I would definitely stay here again!  "

It was just a quick drive everywhere and it wasn't hard for a cab to find the property. The place is clean, updated and very comfortable. Alexis was very easy to reach and left a fridge full of drinks, some snacks and coffee for us, it was very helpful. The bathroom was fully stocked along with the shower. The was a free laundry room right next to the apartment, on the same floor and she provides detergent. We will definitely stay here again and we highly recommend it if you need a place in Austin!"
522136,11255941,2014-03-26,9531233,Jon,As always Alexis is the best!  Very aware of all the needs you could possibly have and very giving when you stay. I would highly recommend this location and once you stay you'll know why!
522136,11425132,2014-04-02,9559685,Claire,"The Downtown Oasis is a fantastic place to stay!  My boyfriend and I just stayed there for a week and we had a wonderful experience.  Alexis has put a lot of thought and effort into making sure that her guests will have everything they need.  It's like staying in a nice hotel, only better -- free laundry, a fully-equipped kitchen that made it easy for us to cook a couple of meals, snacks and soda/water, information on the Austin area, extra bathroom products if you've forgotten anything, a Netflix account to use, and free WiFi.  The location is great -- a couple of blocks away from the UT-Austin campus and the capitol building, close to downtown Austin, and close to several major bus lines so it makes getting to other parts of Austin very easy.  Alexis makes herself available at any time and is quick to respond to messages.  I highly recommend Downtown Oasis!"
522136,11528508,2014-04-07,9945273,Marc,"Alexis is a great communicator, She contacted me several times to make sure things were going well.

522136,12744482,2014-05-10,11570006,Megan,"Staying at the Downtown Oasis was the best experience I've had staying in a new city.  While planning my trip to Austin, Alexis was available through email and text and answered all my questions promptly.  Finding the house and figuring out where to park was also a breeze because Alexis was clear about directions and parking information. The location of the house was perfect for us.  We were located near the UT campus and near Guadeloupe st which led uptown and downtown. The central location was perfect for walking places or taking a cheap cab ride. Alexis does an amazing job keeping the condo super clean, and stocking it was everything you might need from Q-Tips to olive oil.  She had the futon made up and ready as there were three of us staying. Not to mention how organized she is.  She left us with plenty of city resource guides and a couple of TV's with Netflix access. Alexis was also laid back about our departure time as we asked to leave at 1 instead of noon. Thank you to Alexis and her graciousness!"
522136,12854991,2014-05-12,14857314,Kathryn,"I would recommend the Downtown Oasis to anyone wanting to stay in Austin. The apartment is in a great location. It is very clean, comfy, and quiet and Alexis is a great hostess. She even had snacks and refreshments waiting for us when we arrived."
522136,12917862,2014-05-14,12587401,Josh,"The ""Downtown Oasis"" was perfect for what we were looking for! Alexis, the host, had everything set up for us when we arrived - beds made, tons of towels, soap, shampoo, detergent (for dishwasher and for clothes!), dry sheets, easy instructions and a binder full of recommended restaurants and maps of Austin!

We had a minor maintenance issue with the shower - however, a quick text message to Alexis and she had her handyman come by immediately to fix the problem. It was perfect. Alexis was so accommodating and helpful.

I forgot to mention - she also left us a fridge stocked with soda and water, coffee and tea on the counter, along with chips and snacks for our stay!

Couldn't have asked for a better host.

The condo was also beautiful - very clean, newly renovated - the photos are legit! The futon was very comfortable! Did I mention we had access to Netflix?!

Thanks Alexis!"
522136,12986405,2014-05-16,6289927,Philana,"It is always a pleasure when we stay at one of Alxeis' properties! When planning a trip to Austin we try to book with her before looking at anything else. Her spaces are very well equipted and nicely furnished. The covered parking and the gated entry is a bonus. The condo is in a quiet neighborhood and convienient to most anything in town. We appreciate Alexis' generosity and consideration to detail. If I have forgotten to pack something chances are Alexis has it in the condo...labled and easy to find! We are so thankful for the food and water in the fridge she provides, it certainly helps when we are packing up to leave town. The Downtown Oasis is so comfortable and easy. Alexis is the Best!  "
522136,13062331,2014-05-19,11298847,Kennon,"The Downtown Oasis by Alexis was the BEST housing option I've ever seen in Austin. I rented this apartment for my dad during UT Austin's graduation weekend. Located at 17th and Nueces, this oasis lives up to its name. It was quiet and a little slice of heaven just steps away from the busy university. 

Alexis made it easily to move in and out (even letting us check-in early) and provided snacks, directions and countless recommendations. I've lived in Austin for 4 years and cannot rave enough about how affordable this was! I would suggest this location for anyone traveling to UT or downtown Austin."
522136,13194524,2014-05-21,8399163,Alejandra,"Alexis is a great host. She has everything prepared for all guests could spend a unforgetable time in Austin. The condo is very nice and conf. Great location, and you couldn't even hear any sound from the street. If you arrive tired from a long day around Austin you could spend a quiet movie night in the condo. Hope to be there soon! Austin is a great city.
"
522136,13399536,2014-05-27,10980723,Nicole,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I have to admit, it set the bar pretty high. Alexis was wonderfully responsive, flexible, and provided small amenities that made our trip more comfortable. We were within walking distance to the UT campus, eateries, & coffee shops. It was great! No complaints here."
522136,13735546,2014-06-03,4970540,Katie,"Alexis thought of everything! The condo is very well-stocked. Could not ask for more, we had a wonderful stay."

522136,15325105,2014-07-07,11900455,Ben,"Two friends and I were in Austin for 4th of July weekend and stayed in one of Alexis's units.

Alexis was very professional. She set the place up like a hotel - it was very clean and comfortable and she provided a binder with things to do around town.  She also left some snacks and beverages for us, which was a nice surprise. Didn't interact with her in person, but she was helpful and responsive to our texts."
522136,15584957,2014-07-12,7919086,Andrew,"I visited Austin for a week to go to a conference at the AT&T center. The apartment was very close. I didn't spend much time there, but the space was clean and everything I needed was stocked somewhere. Definite step up from the hotel alternatives."
522136,16212329,2014-07-23,16855056,Kunal,My stay was very comfortable and nice. The home feel was much nicer than a hotel.
522136,16324234,2014-07-25,2537578,Gabriel,Beautiful and great location.
522136,16858166,2014-08-03,18222833,Jeremy,Alexis was great. She provided us with all of the information we needed before we arrived for our vacation. The apartment was great. It was exactly like the pictures showed. The place was very nice and clean! Alexis had a little welcome basket with some snacks for us and a binder with tons of information about Austin. 
522136,17113155,2014-08-07,6289927,Philana,"We travel to Austin often and always try to reserve one of  Alexis's properties. Her condos are our favorite place to stay!  
Alexis  is very thoughtful and organized. Her condos are always very clean and comfortable, and well equipped.  We have stayed at the Downtown Oasis a few times and apppreciate her consistancy in quality and care. 
The condo is in a quiet neighborhood and very convienient to most anywhere we want to go.  "
522136,17479807,2014-08-12,8996585,Roa,"We very much enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It was super clean and the bed and mattresses were comfy. Alexis left a booklet of maps, stuff to do, restaurants that was very 
Helpful. I would highly recommend it."

522136,18725573,2014-08-31,611444,Robert,"Alexis's Downtown Oasis apartment was so great for us!  Even better than described. Not only is the place really nice and so clean, it is also so stocked with everything you need. You dont see that much in all Airbnb places.  And the location was perfect - close to everything yet on a quiet street just outside it all.  Everything worked out well too - logistics were so easy. Alexis took care of everything. We loved it and would stay again."
522136,18906784,2014-09-02,20025158,Regan,Listing was very accurate and exactly what we needed. Alexis was very responsive and hospitable-- she even left snacks for us!
522136,19209415,2014-09-08,4810537,Sean,"This apartment is better then described. Of course it's clean, comfortable and exactly what you'd need. Some of our favorite parts of this Austin Oasis are; the location, bed, ease of parking, utilities and friendliness of Alexis. It's a perfect size for a couple looking to getaway, but still be a part of it all and have a quiet place to call home. We attended a UT game and the distance was PERFECT. It's an easy 15 minute walk to the stadium that takes you through campus and tailgating. "
522136,19780514,2014-09-18,5062068,Jennifer,Alexis & this apt were great! She was very communicative - and instructions in the unit were well displayed and clear. The place was impeccable - and looks exactly as listed. We were SUper happy with this place. and the parking spot & free laundry were such a major bonus! would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin!
522136,20016848,2014-09-22,8186770,Michael,"I highly recommend Alexis's downtown Oasis.  I was visiting from England and all the hotels were booked.  This place was very conveniently and centrally located, pleasantly appointed, clean, very well organised, quiet, and comfortable.  The little touches mattered--the nice goodie basket she left for me, some drinks and food in the refrigerator, coffee supplies, etc.  
She even labeled some of the drawers with their contents, to make it easy to find things!  Internet, air conditioning functioned well.  She even left a little welcome note.   She's clearly a professional, organised, thoughtful person.  I would and will stay here upon visiting Austin again."
522136,20428559,2014-09-29,20180066,Jenny,"We felt very welcomed, and the Downtown Oasis exceeded our expectations. Alexis is a detailed communicator, and she responds immediately. We communicated via texts, she had a welcome note, and she had a resource binder for the entire apartment. She also had extensive Austin area information in the unit. The apartment was clean and comfortable.  We had everything we could possibly need, and she thought of everything.  Extra bedding, towels, and all the amenities were available. It was a long and hot trip in for us, so the beverages and snacks were very appreciated!  WIFI and TV options worked great. We felt very safe. The neighborhood was perfect, and close to the University and downtown areas. We walked just about everywhere. 

Downtown Oasis was our first airbnb experience, and we were grateful to enjoy such a good experience. We will recommend her to others, and we will stay here again when we return to Austin.  Thank you Alexis!"
522136,20831656,2014-10-06,20451780,Eleni,"For my first Airbnb experience,  Alexis and Downtown Oasis exceeded my expectations.  The place was great , clean, centrally located,  parking available,  comfortable, and spacious. It felt like being in your own home! Alexis was prompt in answering all of my questions and I would definitely rent from her again. Thank you!"
522136,21005033,2014-10-09,4244072,D.Leb,"Alexis did make us feel welcome.  She is a friendly representative of all Austin has to offer.  The space was clean and as quiet as billed.  Really enjoyed staying there.  Also, while not downtown (which I liked), the neighborhood is a wonderful place to walk with many historic homes."
522136,21288624,2014-10-14,12995270,Christina,"I stayed at the downtown oasis for ACL this year with a few of my closest friends. We were incredibly happy we found this perfect little place to unwind after having very eventful days. The apartment was spacious, clean, and in a perfect part of town. Easy walk or ride to restaurants and 6th street as well. There seemed to be no shortage of personal touches and amenities she offered and my group and I could not have had a better time. Alexis was the most thoughtful host and I would certainly love to stay again for my next Austin visit. "
522136,21630195,2014-10-20,10373430,Matthew,"Our stay in Downtown Oasis was excellent.  Absolutely no complaints, only compliments!  Location was perfect for us, free reserved parking on-site, and easily accessed from the highway.  As for the apartment itself, it was excellently maintained, very clean, organized (Alexis loves her label maker) and stocked with so many conveniences… bagels, cream cheese, a few cans of soda, some OJ, tea, coffee (Real creamer in the fridge), tea, laundry detergent supplies, shampoo, conditioner…the list goes on! Every time we turned around we saw another door labeled with unexpected thrills! There’s even one that says ‘First Aid’, stocked with Bandages, aspirin, etc. The laundry was free and 2 doors down.  Appliances were up to date and all in working order.  The kitchen utensils, dishes, cookware were all in great shape.  If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin, highly recommend this unit, and any other AirBNB unit Alexis advertises.  I am sure she keeps everything top notch!"
522136,21871407,2014-10-26,5974442,Ryan,Staying at the downtown oasis was great. Close to everything you need and want and the apartment itself was clean and extremely welcoming including a snack basket when you arrive and a number of drinks already in the fridge. Would happily recommend this place to anyone going to Austin and will be sure getting in touch with alexis again myself if im in Austin.  Thanks again alexis!!
522136,22158037,2014-10-31,6957821,Julen,"Super-accurate, super-responsive, super-convenient. All is good in Alexis' place, and you won't miss a thing. I would definitely come back."
522136,22359089,2014-11-04,20897307,Michele,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was perfect.  Alexis was a great communicator.  The apartment was exactly as pictured, extremely clean, and well stocked.  The neighborhood was very quiet on the edge of downtown, and would have been an easy walk to all the action had we been wearing sensible shoes.  We elected to use Uber, which cost about $5 and took about 5 minutes.  "
522136,22643438,2014-11-11,9873082,Danielle,Excellent space! It was clean and inviting. She even left us snacks and everything that we could ever need during our stay. We'd totally stay here again.
522136,22794165,2014-11-15,21813477,Danpelz13,Alexis was very detailed and professional with booking and provided organized directions.  The condo was just as advertised and was perfect for our two night stay.  Her instructions about the unit were spot-on and we enjoyed her guidebook to Austin.  We really appreciated her condo's personal touches (bagels in the fridge!!!) and were impressed with how all the little details were so well-handled.
522136,22955749,2014-11-18,10097,Prem,"Great place and easy to get to. Very close to UT and walkable to downtown. Alexis made sure that I got in ok and found everything nearby. The apartment had everything you could need: snacks, water and even a roku! Would stay here again."
522136,23328962,2014-11-29,10499496,Callen,"This place is wonderful. Clean, bright, great space in a central location that is easy to explore Austin from. Alexis was very organized - her suggestions were helpful and thoughtful, and she made everything very easy! She was both professional and welcoming. I would stay here again!"
522136,23595655,2014-12-06,3794600,Amit,"Alexis has a great place in a good location. It is a short drive to both I-35 and TX-1 loop. I am thankful for the opportunity to stay at her place. The apartment is clean, decorated, and stocked with the essentials and more. "
522136,23704200,2014-12-08,10770593,Tina,It was a pleasant studio apartment that was decently close to the heart of downtown ($7 cab). Apt was clean and loaded with tons of towels and supplies (earplugs! Yes). Alexis was very flexible with check in and check out times too!!
522136,23958045,2014-12-15,23914459,Alona,"Very well located by the capital, university and downtown. Clean and welcoming. Alexis had snacks and beverages throughout our stay. Lots of other helpful amenities (iron, extra blankets and towels, toiletries, etc).  She was also flexible with arrival and departure times. Would definitely stay here again."
522136,24367745,2014-12-27,23459503,Jody,Alexis was an excellent host. Her condo is very elegant and well-stocked with anything you could need or want. The location is excellent for walking around the capitol area and finding some galleries to explore on and off campus.  Alexis was very helpful and checked in to make sure we were having a good visit.  It was my first time to Austin and I would definitely keep her place in mind for future trips.
522136,25064823,2015-01-05,20696871,Courtney,Alexis was a great host! She was very responsive and accommodating from booking to checkout. Downtown Oasis was the perfect place for us to stay. It was fully stocked with anything and everything we could need. I would definitely stay here again!
522136,25394878,2015-01-14,25621114,Patricia,"Great place, very cozy and near downtown. The neighborhood was very quiet and nice. Alexis was very nice as well, she was very flexible with our check out time. Next time we go back to Austin, we'll definitely stay at this place again. "
522136,25597430,2015-01-20,24546423,Kelley,"I was in town for a few days of vacation with my brother and sister and we couldn't have found a better place to stay. The apartment was clean and very well stocked with towels, toiletries and even snacks. Alexis stayed in touch with me during the week leading up to our trip, so the checkin/checkout process was very smooth. The location was perfect as we could walk to many restaurants, take a short cab ride to downtown and South Congress, and there is a B-Cycle station a block away from the apartment. I would highly recommend this place for anyone coming to visit Austin. "
522136,25864668,2015-01-27,26422517,Zach And Emily,We loved it! Alexis's place was extremely clean and in a great location for us to explore Austin from. The entire process was super simple and without headaches. We accidentally left a shirt there and Alexis texted us and we were able to swing back and pick it up. Super friendly!
522136,25940553,2015-01-30,6025169,Luke,Awesome apartment in a great location. Very well kept.
522136,26082617,2015-02-02,26756345,Patrick,"The apartment was just as advertised and more. Extremely clean and very well organized. There were extra bed sheets, clean towels, and even some snacks. Everything in the apartment was labeled and we never felt like we needed anything extra. 

The shower wasn't putting out hot water on the first day. We told Alexis and she had a plumber come out as soon as possible to fix the problem. She was very accommodating by letting us use her next door apartment's shower. She also gave us a gift card for our troubles. Alexis was great at communicating with us and the check-in/check-out process was painless. 

The apartment is also in a great location. You can take an uber for approximately $5 anywhere in downtown. I would definitely stay there again."
522136,26426782,2015-02-12,420563,Roseanne,"Great Airbnb  experience, really nice apt. There's a reason why she's a super host!  "
522136,26510786,2015-02-14,1743454,Yuval,"The apartment was amazing! Very clean, spacious, and welcoming. Situated in a good place in Austin, about 5 minute drive / 15 minute walk from downtown. Alexis has been super-helpful with tips, everything in the apartment is labeled and explained, there's a big folder full of stuff and recommendations about the city and what to do."
522136,26644015,2015-02-16,4094042,Vicki,"Great apartment! It's very much like a hotel since there are no personal belongings then. She even leaves bagels, orange juice, waters, etc. in the refrigerator for us. The location is great too; if you like walking like we do, it's perfect. Only 20-25 minutes from downtown. Alexis was also always available via text or phone call to help us if we needed anything. Everything you could want from a place in Austin! "
522136,26827855,2015-02-20,26447077,Sam,Great location. We were able to get to all areas of the city with ease. The place was very clean and organized. Alexis has prepared a lot of materials (info on Austin) and was very responsive with our questions! Definately an ideal airbnb experience! We will be looking into this place again for all future visits to Austin!
522136,27088719,2015-02-25,20696982,Megan,"Downtown Oasis was one of the best decisions we had made for our first trip to Austin. The location was perfect. The apartment was impeccable, and had all the necessities, and snacks! We loved being able to drive into the garage and have a space reserved for us. The laundry area of the complex was conveniently located steps from our door. Alexis couldn't have been more helpful. She responded promptly with whatever questions we had. 
We hope to one day return to Austin, and when we do, we will hopefully call Downtown Oasis our home away from home again! "
522136,27170856,2015-02-27,1141628,Naama,"The apartment was very welcoming, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The whole apartment felt like a home away from home, with all the amenities that could have asked for including little things. Alexis was a great hostess, available to us at any time and made sure that we had everything that we needed. The location was perfect. We were able to easily walk or take public transportation to all the places we wanted to in Austin. The University is especially close as well as the downtown area which is just 15-20 minute walk. There is also a bus station very close by.  I would be happy to stay here again in future trips to Austin. "
522136,27279742,2015-03-01,24269754,Rebecca,"Alexis is a superb hostess, not only is the apartment welcoming, spotless, and comfortable, but also she has added so many thoughtful touches (snacks, information, instructions) for a traveler that it was more comfortable than being in a hotel.  The location was perfect for me and very quiet.  I really do want to stay here again when I come back to Austin.  Thanks Alexis!!"
522136,27568974,2015-03-08,6009812,Scott,"This was the most amazing experience I have had with AirBNB. Firstly, Alexis' place was awesome - super comfortable and well appointed. I have stayed in high-end hotels that had fewer amenities than the apartment. There was everything we could need to get around the city - maps, public transport guides etc (tip: Uber works really well here and airport taxis are horrific, avoid them!). Alexis had provided a welcome pack which was like a little miracle when we arrived at midnight - it meant we didn't need to get up early hunting for breakfast. 
During our stay Alexis was readily available and we really appreciated her flexibility in check-in/out times. 
The location is ideal for both the uni and the downtown area - we walked most of the time but had no trouble in 'Uber-ing' when needed. 
I would give an unwavering recommendation for this host and I really hope to return in the future. "
522136,27867786,2015-03-14,4619158,Jennifer,"The apartment was perfect for me at SXSWEDU. I could easily walk downtown getting to know Austin. All the conveniences plus nice touches such as snacks, drinks, and some toiletries. I had forgotten toothpaste and there it was. Thoughtful host and sweet apartment. Much nicer than the corporate vibe of the conference hotels . Thanks Alexis "
522136,28115793,2015-03-18,2424002,Gina,"This was the PERFECT place to stay during SXSW! The apartment is exactly how it looks in the photos (which is to say it's great), and Alexis is the most thoughtful host! There were tons of snacks and candies waiting for me upon check-in, lots of toiletries if I needed them, and instructions for everything I could possibly need. The apartment is extremely relaxing, and the perfect distance from downtown - just far enough to be nice and quiet, but close enough to have a nice walk to all the action. I would LOVE the opportunity to stay in this apt again!"
522136,28384249,2015-03-23,4724619,Paul,"Alexis was super quick to respond to questions before arrival, and check in/out was a breeze. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The apartment was perfect for what we needed in Austin.
"
522136,28619661,2015-03-27,3094068,Mary,"Thanks Alexis! Always a challenge to convince my husband to travel using Airbnb, but you won him over when he discovered the Clorox wipes in the apartment!!! And the place was clean & welcoming ( hooray for the bagels/cream cheese so I could feed my teenage son before our early tour of UT ). All the comforts of home and more than perfect location for the task of exploring both University of Texas and Austin! We will be back!!!!"
522136,28709718,2015-03-29,25824544,Nicole,"We had a great stay at this cute little condo in Austin! It is super close to almost everything you need! Short walk to food and a pharmacy, and short walk or Lyft to the State Capital and Downtown shops. Alexis is a great hostess!! She provides you with everything you need and then some! She is extremely accommodating and very friendly. I highly recommend this place! "
522136,29037459,2015-04-03,13489867,Adam,"This was a fantastic first AirBnB experience. Alexis was so helpful, and made us feel welcome with notes, snacks, and quick responses to questions.

This place is absolutely charming - better than the photos can represent! All of the information online was accurate. The apartment's surrounding neighborhood was quiet despite being very close to the capitol and other sites.

We were happy throughout our stay. Thank you, Alexis!"
522136,29395626,2015-04-07,21056857,Jenny,"Staying at the Quiet Oasis was a treat! Alexis was so easy to communicate with and her hospitality was beyond any expectations! The location was so close to everything, not to mention stocked with everything one could possibly need! Would definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin! "
522136,29817333,2015-04-13,2632247,Gordon,Alexis's place was great! Perfect location. She provided stupid proof instructions on entering and navigating the whole apartment appliances and all. Checked in via text to make sure all was good and if I needed anything. I would def recommend. 
522136,30289851,2015-04-20,21187408,Jessi,"Private Oasis was better than we expected. It was true to the description and pictures, and in a pretty, but quiet, neighborhood and still close to down town. Alexis was quick to respond to all of our messages and very helpful in suggesting cool things to do during our visit. She even provides breakfast, snacks, drinks, and some toiletries, which made packing for our trip easier. Great place and host, would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. "
522136,30602516,2015-04-25,26958532,Rachel,"We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Oasis! Alexis made coordinating the visit so easy, and the place was clean and exactly as pictured. Very welcoming and a great size for three adults, I highly recommend staying here. "
522136,31120864,2015-05-02,7327687,Sarah,"Alexis has clearly put a great deal of thought into hosting travellers. The apartment was impeccably presented exactly as the photos. The welcome basket, first aid drawer, detailed instructions and local information provided, shows how much attention to detail Alexis has put into this listing. We thouroughly enjoyed our stay. 
Location wise it is only a minutes walk to the 801 or 803 bus which will take you straight to the CBD ($1.75 one way). Or you can walk it in about 15 minutes. We would definitely recommend this listing, it is our number one Airbnb stay so far!"
522136,31510296,2015-05-06,22734748,Sofia,"This place is incredible! The listing is accurate in every way possible. Alexis is a super thoughtful host, who responds in a very timely manner. We were three adults and small child and we had great 4 nights at this clean, neat, well lit, spacious and reasonably priced place. The snacks are substantial and tasty; there are also all kinds of very practical supplies in both the kitchen and the bathroom. It is within walking distance of downtown or a very short and inexpensive cab ride. There's a 7-11 close by if you need any milk or things of that nature. What a fantastic experience! "
522136,31938333,2015-05-12,28228974,Aaron,"The place is great, the building is really quiet, and in a great location and close to everything. The place is really clean and updated. Alexis was very accommodating and made the whole trip a breeze.
The place is very comfortable for about 2-3 people. The price was very reasonable, and will definitely look at renting this listing again when in Austin!"

522136,33349447,2015-05-27,24464689,Peter,"We had an excellent experience with Alexis and her apartment.  The location was perfect being only a few blocks from the UT campus and the capitol.  It was convenient for walking, which we wanted.  There were nice amenities like cold drinks in the fridge, snacks, maps of the area and even first aid stuff should we need it, which we didn't.  She was prompt in responding to set the dates and make sure everthing worked out.  I would definately rent with her again and would hope that future use of Airbnb would go as well."
522136,33986270,2015-06-03,28912577,Ellen,"This was my first experience with airbnb  it was wonderful!  Alexis was very friendly and professional.  The apartment was very spacious, modern & comfortable.  We used both the bed and the fold out futon and both were very comfortable.  The apt was well-stocked with all the little touches to make you feel at home.  The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and easy walking distance to the ATT Conference center, and UT Campus.  Overall, an excellent experience!  "

522136,35206113,2015-06-16,26964807,Gabriel,"We had a wonderful stay at Downtown Oasis! The condo was even better looking in person. It was very spacious and had every amenity we needed. The bathroom came stocked with towels and toiletries and the kitchen was stocked with snacks and coffee. It was in a prime location in downtown Austin. We were able to walk to most of our destinations. It was our first Airbnb experience and our host, Alexis, made it very easy. She responded the same day we requested the booking and was very courteous. We had a lot of questions about the process and Alexis made it a breeze. When we walked in the door for the first time, the personalized note from Alexis made us feel very welcome. She also was very professional and responded quickly to text messages when we had questions during our stay. Overall, I had an AMAZING experience and it could not have been better. I will be staying at the Downtown Oasis every time I visit Austin! "
522136,35784567,2015-06-22,30712580,Vanessa,"My friends and I loved staying at Downtown Oasis. 
Alexis was a wonderful host- leaving snacks for us and drinks in the fridge...small touches that make such a difference and made us feel special. 
Her place is clean, functional and adorable. I wouldn't change a thing. 
Close to downtown and UT, I feel like we were in a perfect location to scope out Austin for the first time. There was even a bike port (for rentals) right around the corner! 

We all decided if we ever go to Austin again we will definitely be staying here!"
522136,36521743,2015-06-29,31044284,Lisa,"All was as good or better than described! Communication was excellent, amenities more than generous. My colleague and I were very comfortable sharing the space and was perfect walking distance to our conference on the UT campus. Thanks, Alexis!"
522136,36815767,2015-07-01,35381073,Phillip,"We spent two nights in this downtown oasis and for our first time using airbnb, it was everything expected and more. From check-in and check-out, everything was smooth and extremely convenient for us. The area is located in the heart of the city and everything was within walking distance. The apartment itself was fantastic. It was as if we never left our home. The kitchen was stocked with all the snacks and drinks we never knew we wanted and the living space was our favorite. Overall our experience was fantastic and we loved every night spent here. 
"
522136,37699631,2015-07-09,37082306,Daphnie,Alexis is such a super host! The entire process from booking to check out was surprisingly smooth. It was my first time using AirBnb and i'm super glad I booked with her. Her place is so much more beautiful in person. She made my son and I felt so at home. She welcomed us with a personalized greeting and even prepared light snacks and beverages. Thank you Alexis! I look forward to booking with casa alexis for future austin trips :) 
522136,38256005,2015-07-14,29483197,Tyisha,"Alexis made me feel welcomed with many small touches, like a personalized note, snacks and beverages.  She thought of all of the essentials and it seemed like each day I found another aspect of the condo that I liked even more.  The neighborhood was very eclectic and there were shops and food close by.  The listing was very accurate.  You felt as if you were staying in the home of your very organized and very thoughtful friend.  When I return to Austin I will make every effort to book with Alexis again.  I'm so glad that my first airbnb experience was such a great one.  "
522136,39753475,2015-07-26,32964845,Luis Fernando,The location was awesome and the place very cosy and we'll equiped.
522136,41215037,2015-08-05,31939857,Benchen,"I booked this place for about a week to host my parents who came to see my from China. This place gave them a very comfortable stay so that they could recover from jet lag smoothly and start a new living here quickly. All the facilities are well-prepared and very considerate. The kitchen and laundry room are tidy and totally ready to use. The location is amazing, just within a walking distance to downtown and to the university. Like all the previous comments, the convenience and coziness to stay in this place proved to be beyond expectation. The hostess Alexis is also great to communicate. It was a shame that we cannot meet her in person. Anyway, I would definitely recommend the downtown oasis to my friends."
522136,42117754,2015-08-11,31929994,Mikee,"The listing was incredibly accurate and the pictures did the spot justice. Alexis had snacks and bottled water waiting for us, which was perfect because the weather was over 100 degrees when we arrived. There are fans and AC that kept our stay chilled out. The location is not hard to find using any online mapping system.

Beyond what would be standard, we found amenities like sun screen, reusable grocery bags (Austin has a bag ban that we didn't know about), and even lawn chairs in case we wanted to go to a park. One of the drawers in the kitchen has all of the knick-knack stuff a normal person wouldn't bring on vacation that were super helpful; safety pins, lint roller, pens and notes. Alexis also provided us with maps of the city and the bus lines. Although we didn't have time to use it there are some movies and Netflix available along with wifi. The location is only a few blocks from many bus lines, even in the heat this was not a hassle to use. All of our Uber rides from the 6th street area were six dollars or less even at surge pricing. None of the drivers had any issue finding the building.

The location was not the only shockingly awesome part of this rental, but Alexis herself. When we checked in she advised us to drink plenty of fluids with the upcoming heat that Austin would be dealing with. After a day or so into our trip she also texted to check in and see how our stay was, every response was quick and helpful. More than just the snacks waiting there was a personalized note on the fridge welcoming us to the area. "
522136,44752837,2015-08-29,30271937,Claire,"Loved the location - on a quiet, residential street about 20 minutes walk away from the 'real' downtown (6th street, Wholefoods etc!) and only about 10 minutes' walk from the UT campus. The flat was great - well air conditioned and really well stocked with all essentials plus some extras. Alexis was a perfect host from beginning to end and regularly checked in with us via e-mail to see if we had everything we needed.  Highly recommended - especially if in our case you have business at UT but would also like to be close to downtown Austin. Thanks for everything Alexis! 
"
522136,45193416,2015-08-31,42298991,Mason,Great experience. Everything was as seen in post. Would rent from Alexis again. 
522136,45883354,2015-09-06,41425916,Stuart,Alexis is a phenomenal host.  She was always quick to respond with any questions we had and flexible with our schedule. Her home is very nice and clean.  We were within walking distance of both the UT campus and 6th street.  The neighborhood was very nice and quiet but still close to the big attractions of the city.  Alexis is a very generous host who had some snacks and beverages waiting for us when we arrived.  I will definitely try to stay here again the next time I'm in the area. 
522136,46591526,2015-09-12,38005690,Iain,"The Downtown Oasis is incredible. Absolutely everything you need, fantastic location and Alexis is a perfect host. Would definitely use it again. Thanks Alexis! "
522136,46890401,2015-09-14,12263994,Michael,"Wow - what a great stay.  Alexis's apartment was perfect for our weekend in Austin.  The location was ideal, the apartment was clean and comfortable, and Alexis had stocked the fridge with drinks and snacks as well as having linens, towels and all the other amenities promised to make us feel at home from the minute we walked in the door.  The Downtown Oasis is exactly what AirBnB should be - highly recommended. "
522136,47631982,2015-09-21,34985892,Jb,"This was our first airbnb experience, I hope Alexis didn't spoil us for others.  The space and features were either exactly the same or better than Alexis described.  We felt welcomed, we got advice, and the space perfectly met our needs.  The location was convenient for access to UT and downtown Austin.  Alexis went the extra step of preparing the futon and third bed for us, and her notes/instructions were impeccable.

The building itself was pleasant, the people we ran into were nice and didn't seem put off by having airbnb renters there.

Austin is pretty cool.  If you want good BBQ, go to a place that is highly rated recently (pit masters change) where you can pre-order, especially if you plan for a weekend, especially for a weekend with an event like UT football.  Eat as much as you can at ""trailer parks"" instead of brick and mortar for the vibe and vibrancy.  If you want to stroll/run with the locals, get to the Colorado Riverbank due South of this place."
522136,47843672,2015-09-21,5476271,Beaudry,"Alexis is one of the most communicative and attentive Airbnb hosts I've stayed with. Unsurprisingly, then, her apartment also reflected a lot of thought towards the needs of an Airbnb user, from the convenient charging dock to the friendly (and up to date) information offered on what to see and do around town. The apartment itself is simple, spotless and has most everything you might need. In a quiet spot but close to Capitol and UT. Great deal all round."
522136,48679186,2015-09-28,33735969,Julia,"I had an amazing stay here--perfect for a weekend trip to Austin with my friends. Alexis was a great host and really made us feel welcomed. There were snacks available upon our arrival, the futon was pulled out and the bed already made, and she left plenty of notes and instructions that helped make our stay in Austin worry free and an enjoyable experience! I personally appreciated that shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were available to use, since it's sometimes a hassle to travel with those things due to TSA restrictions. The apartment is exactly as described on here--also very clean and organized! And the location is ideal--we were able to walk downtown, but had rented a car as well and it was very easy to get to other parts of town from here. Overall, the experience was great and my friends and I will definitely rebook with Alexis if we're in Austin again. "
522136,49213057,2015-10-02,25657954,Michelle,"My experience was excellent! The apartment was exactly like the pictures. I couldn't ask for a better location. Alexis also provided great amenities including snacks, maps, and food suggestions. I am definitely booking the apartment again. "
522136,49883478,2015-10-07,8196887,Bingxin,"Alexis was a wonderful host, though we didn't get the chance to meet her in person. She left us detailed check-in instructions and informative tips for Austin. Since we mentioned we were going to the ACL festival, she even prepared extra treats for us to enjoy the weekend, which we liked very much! The arpartment is very clean, bright and well equipped. Comfy beds, lovely kitchen with big fridge, spacious closet and everything else just as listed! The location is ideal as well, quiet neighbourhood yet close to down town. Highly recommend!"
522136,50815363,2015-10-14,13358783,Melony,Alexis made us welcome to her home! The location was perfect and walkable to so many local attractions. The home had all the amenities accounted for and very spacious. Alexis made it seamless to stay in her place and was extremely well organized. Thanks for arranging our stay there! Hopefully we'll be back! 
522136,51013857,2015-10-17,39078143,Stacey,"Alexis' place is absolutely perfect for any length of stay in Austin. So comfortable, immaculately clean and all sorts of little touches (snacks, binder of recommendations, etc.) made staying there a joy. The location makes it a perfect base for virtually anything you may want to visit in Austin or the surrounding area. So much better than a hotel, we will certainly try to stay there again if we ever return. Alexis is incredibly thorough, reliable and responsive, made booking and checking in/out totally stress-free!"
522136,51296836,2015-10-19,27011225,Daniel,"I was very impressed with this apartment and when I return to Austin I will come back.  It was comfortable, there was everything we needed (plenty of towels, hair dryer, bottled water, coffee), the AC worked well and it was quiet.

The listing was accurate, the neighborhood was very nice, Alexis was very communicative.  The apartment was perfect for us--it was very close to UT and to the Capitol. "
7697403,45332870,2015-09-01,23068116,Cassandra,"My boyfriend and I visited Austin for a long weekend, and Maggie's house was a great place to stay! We booked it just a few days before leaving and she responded quickly to get the details sorted out. It is really important to us to stay in a central location, where we can walk to most of what we want to do - Maggie's place is in easy walking distance to a lot of the great restaurants, bars, and food trucks in East Austin, as well as downtown. And it's just down the road from Franklin BBQ, which was a big plus in our books! It was well air conditioned, comfortable, and is clearly taken care of. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! Thanks for having us!"
7697403,46195936,2015-09-08,42068878,Sarah,"Maggie was so incredibly welcoming! We all felt right at home in her home and were grateful for her many tips for enjoying our time in Austin. She communicated very efficiently with us and was so full of heart. We were amazed at how close the house was to so many of Austin's attractions, and the location was an inexpensive uber ride to those out of walking distance. We loved our time in Maggie's home and look forward to returning to Austin soon!"
7697403,47995969,2015-09-22,5912557,Angela,"We had a great stay here! It is very close to downtown (only a $5 uber around) and UT campus. I liked that we could walk to some great food places like Franklin BBQ or the food trucks on east 6th. Also a great view of the state Capitol from here.

House itself was very clean. Bed was comfy and very much appreciated the air con! "
7697403,50636983,2015-10-13,41109324,Kaela,"Maggie was an amazing host. She answered all of our questions very quickly and gave us a TON of suggestions on where to go and what to do while in town. The house was clean when we arrived and there was plenty of towels and blankets for the six guests. I slept on the air mattress provided and was very comfortable. The neighborhood felt safe and it was an easy walk, bike ride, or Uber downtown. When we arrived we had brunch at Hillside Farmacy right around the corner, highly recommend it! There is also a food truck lot right across the street that was playing live music on the Saturday of our stay. This was my first airbnb experience and Maggie and her home made it a trip to remember!"
7859914,44250968,2015-08-24,30869873,Harvey,Nice and clean room to stay in. The host is very helpful and quick to reply. Very good.
7859914,45043290,2015-08-30,16763717,Farrel,"I & three friends had a very nice stay with Tiffany & her husband.  Their home is a nice comfortable place & the neighborhood has a suburban feel though it's only a handful of minutes drive from downtown.  The best part about the stay was Tiffany herself who is outgoing & fun & really wants to help provide a fun time while in Austin.

Thanks for everything & best of luck to you & your growing family Tiffany!"
7859914,45625838,2015-09-04,41964509,Liz,"Tiffany was very welcoming and I enjoyed staying at her place. The room was clean, quiet and a nice location. I just moved to Austin and it was a great temporary place."
7859914,46032179,2015-09-07,5996453,Nick,"We had a wonderful stay at Tiffany and Josh's home. They were friendly, welcoming, and helpful during the entire stay. Also their home is quitr lovely filled with Austin-esque artwork. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for friendly and easy stay in the less traffic ridden part of Austin."
7859914,46658266,2015-09-12,12811510,Jocelyn,"Tiffany and her husband were very welcoming hosts and were very accommodating with the odd hours of our brief stay. We loved how the home was decorated - very eclectic, artsy, and vintage at the same time! We would not hesitate to stay here again."
7859914,47501552,2015-09-19,41657211,Keith,"Tiffany and her husband were great hosts. From the first communication Tiffany made it a comfortable experience and she kept in contact throughout my week-long stay. The room was nice and comfortable as well. I would definitely stay with them again.
The area is close to the airport, parks, and downtown, which made it nice for work and food."

7859914,48454455,2015-09-26,12120148,Charlotte,"Perfect clean/quaint room for a quick trip to Austin! Access to own bathroom was a big plus. Tiffany and her husband were very flexible, kind and welcoming, and had great advice on local restaurants/hang outs. Tons of street parking available, and a good lock system with personalized code allowed us to come and go as we needed."
7859914,48969659,2015-09-29,25606428,Caitlin,"Tiffany was very welcoming and easy going. She kept in contact prior to my arrival to make sure I would be able to get in when I needed and was flexible when my arrival time changed. The room was clean and quiet, exactly what I was looking for. It's also very close to the airport, which is an added convenience "

Her place is in a quiet place in Austin that is easily walkable to downtown.  Great set up and would totally stay here again.
4164085,20879581,2014-10-06,8334269,Hunter,"Listing description was spot-on.  Neighborhood was very nice, especially for a predominantly student area.  Kim was a fantastic host in basically every way!"
4164085,21233382,2014-10-13,20618425,Zack,"Kim's cottage is a great choice for a stay in Austin. Kim was a tremendous host and made everything very easy on me. All the arrangements were turnkey (literally).

The cottage is very cute and livable. It's part of a small complex of cottages in a quiet but centrally-located neighborhood (fairly close to UT). Parking and getting around from here were simple.

The place was very clean when I got there, and Kim made sure I had everything I needed (bedding, towels, etc) for a comfortable stay. The bed and futon are both good sleeping options.

Kim was always available if I had questions or issues during the confirmation process and during my stay, though the entire process was easy. I was in town for ACL Festival, but I highly recommend Kim's place whenever you need a good spot to stay in Austin."
4164085,22380268,2014-11-04,15441488,Steve,"Great apartment, clean and tidy and close enough to the action but on a quiet street. Kim was always available to answer any questions which  made things painless! Would happily stay again if in the area. "

4164085,26699034,2015-02-17,26386017,Alex,"The apartment was exactly as listed in the description. Room was spacious and the bed was great. Everything was clean. The lock broke one night, but Kim was responsive and we were able to get in eventually. The lock is now fixed as well.

Easy walk to campus and a long walk to downtown. Uber was about $7 without surge pricing. Not too close to any buses. But it seems that is all of Austin. Would recommend for anyone looking to stay in the area. We may book it again if and when we come back to Austin."
4164085,28271325,2015-03-21,17218939,Joshua,"Kim was a great host! Although i never got to personally meet her, finding the keys was super easy and the place was jst what I needed. She even left a friends onctact in case of emergencys which worked out when i wanted to ask for a late check out. Cleanlinees was great and the neighborhood was safe . If I could stay here again , I would. Thanks Kim!"
4164085,30214786,2015-04-19,4781265,Mark,"The studio apartment was cozy and in a great location for my business trip. It was missing a couple key elements, like soap, a toaster, and a clothing iron, but otherwise worked out well with a full kitchen and central air conditioning. Perfect for being near UT campus!"
4164085,33335709,2015-05-26,30055432,Davidson,"The apartment was very convenient for the university,  shops & the local bars were within 5 minutes walk. If you want to go downtown you'll need to drive or get a cab. Kim wasn't there to greet me, but the instructions on where touring the key were clear & communicated well in advance. Apartment was small but comfortable, though it lacked some basics like an iron or TV. My only negative point was that the towel provided was a bit threadbare & looked like it hadn't been washed."
4164085,46083752,2015-09-07,19808184,Leah,"Staying in Kim's cottage was a dream! It is part of a gated little community of cottages, so we always felt safe! It felt like a vacation rental and it had a lovely patio. Cab rides were never more than 15 minutes away and the UT campus was within walking distance. While I never met Kim, she was very accessible by email. I would absolutely stay there again and would highly recommend her place to anyone staying in Austin. It made me want to move to Austin! "
5422032,28236300,2015-03-20,22053606,Andrew,"Adara was such an amazing host. She wasn't able to meet me in person, but she left a card with a warm personal welcoming note and a list of things to do in Austin that was great to reference to! The neighborhood was lovely and the place was super lovely and comfortable too. We definitely enjoyed our stay and I highly recommend staying at this cute place!"
5422032,28355996,2015-03-22,29126178,Justin,"Great location! My husband and I rented this apartment for S x SW and we loved to proximity to downtown Austin. Even so, the apartment complex was very quiet and was a great place to relax at the end of the day. Adara was a very welcoming hostess and left us a list of fun near-by resturants and activities. I would highly recommend this apartment. "
5422032,28746889,2015-03-29,29442118,Justin,"Adara was an awesome host. Her place was very clean and has a very quite and private feel. Neighbors were never heard and seldom seen. Located in a great part of town and is close to lot of amenities, shops, and restaurants.  We followed through on most of her recommendations and were never disappointed.  Sleeping accommodations for four very comfortably. 
She left us beer and eggs too :)
This place is better than advertised!
Will recommend and be back!"
5422032,29771927,2015-04-12,12392893,Tiffany,The host was great and super responsive. My 3 girlfriends and I slept comfortably at her place and loved that it was close to everything. The apartment complex area was really quiet and in a great location. Would recommend to others.

5422032,41884061,2015-08-09,24779536,Claudia,"The apartment was clean, comfortable and peaceful just as described.  Location was good with plenty of great areas to visit within walking distance.  The L shaped couch serves as the secondary sleeping quarters. It's not a fold out mattress, that wasn't an issue, but felt it's worth mentioning. Adara was very responsive and flexible.  She was a great host! I highly recommend staying here."

5422032,43004629,2015-08-16,996307,Jared,Adara's apartment perfectly suited my needs. Myself and some friends came to Austin for the weekend and the location is great and less than a $10 uber ride from most nightlife spots. The place was clean and tastefully decorated and I especially liked the little patio out back. Adara was very accommodating and always replied promptly when needed. I would stay here again.
5422032,43890462,2015-08-22,41688925,Marisa,Cute place that's conveniently located. Adara made sure we were set up with keys and wifi with no hassle!

5422032,46771043,2015-09-13,3851943,Al,"I appreciated Adara's above average flexibility with check-in/check-out times. The apartment was situated in a quiet neighborhood, though there is some noise from the resident(s) upstairs. Mainly footsteps. There was literature available with restaurant recommendations, and a newspaper. Thanks for that.

Directions to the apartment should have been much more specific. A pin on a Google map would be helpful. I wasted some time trying to find the apartment, and Adara didn't respond to my call. Luckily, I was able to find the apartment right after I called her. "
333838,995894,2012-03-13,9585124,Amy,Larry and Joanna were superb hosts! They were ready with breakfast and fun conversation each morning and made me feel right at home.  They have a lovely house and are lovely people. 
333838,1017347,2012-03-19,1662804,Kathrine,Larry and Joanna were great hosts! The house is in an excellent location and we felt safe and at home the entire time. 
333838,2925745,2012-11-20,2985738,Michael,"Larry and Joanna are great hosts, they are in a great location within walking distance of downtown. The room was cozy and Larry had breakfast ready to go for us each morning. Very hospitable and knowledgeable about the history of the area.  Great BBQ in any direction. Butchy the cat was a good host too and very friendly (he likes to snuggle). Thanks for the great time, Larry!"
333838,3778821,2013-03-14,924662,Rodolfo,"Larry And Joanna were wonderful hosts and made me feel very welcome in their charming home. If you want to experience real Austin culture just a short walk from downtown, stay with them. FYI, it took me about 25 minutes to walk from their home all the way down to the Austin Convention Center on 1st/Cesar Chavez street, and about 20 minutes to walk to the AT&T building in UT Austin, but I'm not a super-fast walker, and I opted for the scenic routes. I spent most of my trip running all around Austin, so it was really great to start every day chatting with Larry or Joanna at their breakfast table before things got hectic. I don't know where they get their giant bagels, but they were awesome. I would definitely want to stay with them again."
333838,3835947,2013-03-19,5092357,Liberty,"Larry and Joanna are such welcoming hosts! I felt at home with them in their charming, historic abode. They made sure there was more than enough breakfast food available, and even asked me my preferences before I got there. I only wish I got to know them a little bit more -- my stay in Austin flew by too fast! I will contact Joanna and Larry for my next Austin trip!"
333838,3915125,2013-03-26,5313751,Gerard,"Lovely, hospitable people!  Good location and atmospheric, cosy old house in an area that is being renovated, and situated close to the City, UTexasA (25 mins walk), and the cafe strip on 12th.

Enjoyed intelligent conversations with both the hosts and their other guest, and a live folk music evening with Larry and Friends. 

Appreciated being bale to wash and dry clothes."
333838,7985671,2013-10-11,8802634,Jeff,"Larry and Joanna are a warm, gracious and active couple located a 10 minute bike ride from some of Austin's best neighborhoods. They went out of their way to make me comfortable - -and lent me a bike. Wow. I was attending the SxSW Eco conference at the Austin Convention Center, and rode to and from the venue every day -- even squeezed in rides around Town Lake and beautiful Barton Springs! Night life's close, too -- I totally recommend the Elephant Room on Congress for great jazz. And the bats, of course!"
333838,8756004,2013-11-16,6121326,Evie,"My daughter Wendi and I stayed there, booking the green and the pink rooms. She lives in CA and I live in MD, so Austin was a great meeting point for a vacation.  Larry and Joanna did so much to make sure we had a wonderful experience.  Joanna drove me to the Greyhound station to pick up Wendi (arriving from Houston) because she thought the route there was confusing.   Larry was always ready with suggestions for our days and nights out, perusing the newspaper for current performers.  Thanks, Larry, our evening of dancing and listening to music at the Continental Club was super.   I went to early morning yoga class twice with Joanna, got to meet some of their friends and had full use of the kitchen, which was great for storing/heating up leftovers from those delicious Austin restaurants/food trucks. Plus, breakfast was included and we had the use of their two bicycles, which we rode on the trails by Lady Bird Lake.  We had such a super experience and my daughter and I enjoyed having resident Austinites to converse with.  By the end of the trip, we felt like a member of the family. "
333838,10744331,2014-03-05,10898615,Kulwant,Larry and Joanna were an absolute pleasure to stay with. Some of the best people you would ever meet. I consider myself lucky to have the opportunity to meet them. Very conscientious and really make you feel at home. 
333838,10999186,2014-03-17,10533364,Jenna,"Larry & Joanna were a delight to stay with. They were beyond helpful, and went out of their way to make my first visit to Austin (and SXSW!) a breeze. I felt at home in their house, and in the city because of them. Would love to stay with them again! "
333838,11188535,2014-03-24,12756194,Jessica,"Staying with Larry and Joanna was a pleasure! They are both extremely accommodating. The room was clean and comfy! I would highly recommend them as hosts for any traveller!

"
333838,11400838,2014-04-01,6154663,Eve,I chose this location because it was relatively close to the Texas Swim Center in the UT campus where I was attending a meet. (It was a lovely walk) Larry and Joanna were very attentive and when I arrived made sure I knew where everything was. The room and the house are cozy and I enjoyed looking at the many knick knacks and art that were displayed. This is the first time I have stayed when the hosts were home and I actually enjoyed that part of it-they were very friendly and made me feel welcome. There is a cute area a few blocks south where I went several times to eat/shop. It is very easy to get west of the highway to many of the places you may need/want to go in Austin. I rented a car but did not even need it-I would take a cab or public transportation. There was a bike available but I did not use it. I would definitely return to these hosts if I am in the area!
333838,11772790,2014-04-14,13794764,Clayton,Joanna and Larry were very great and hospitable hosts!  Their home was very cozy and located in an area very close to downtown Austin.
333838,12253793,2014-04-27,12454723,Will,Our trip was cut short due to circumstances beyond our control but the place was great and we will definitely be back!
333838,14138323,2014-06-12,6917782,Jonathan,My friend and I had a great stay in Larry and Joanna's home. They were very welcoming and their house is so cozy. We were able to walk to a lot of places nearby since their neighborhood is home to a lot of hip bars and restaurants. Getting to play music with Larry though was the highlight of our trip. We'll definitely be back! 
333838,17249317,2014-08-09,17779658,Peter,"We enjoyed very much to stay at this peaceful house close to downtown. The communication was always on time, the bedroom very clean, the wifi was working. More important, our landlords were very friendly, helpful and gracious. All in all, an beautiful spot in an amazing boomtown that  I can highly recommend. Peter "
333838,18449612,2014-08-26,11611389,Emerson,"Larry and Joanna couldn't have been more welcoming to their beautiful city- Austin. Not only did they pick us up at the bus stop (coming from the airport), but they took us to a folk music jam on Saturday night and we had the pleasure of accompanying Joanna to Barton Springs for a nice swim the next morning! The location was completely walkable to downtown Austin and UT's campus, even in the heat. "
333838,20064273,2014-09-22,17780469,Julius,The hosts were great and the neighborhood. I enjoyed my (short) time with the Vaughns.
333838,20268129,2014-09-26,63219,James,Thanks!  Great little space near downtown.
333838,20833164,2014-10-06,5462578,Cecil,Larry and Joanna were extremely gracious hosts and couldn't have made my stay better. Highly recommended! 
333838,21961838,2014-10-27,21690708,Henrique,I went to Austin with a friend for a weekend and we decided to stay at Larry and Joanna's house. It was a wonderful choice. Larry and Joanna were very kind and are always prepared to help whatever you need. The house has a good location and you get what you're expecting. I would definitely stay there again if I return to Austin.
333838,22118621,2014-10-30,15686579,Penny,"I was in Austin for a conference and stayed in the green room at Joanna and Larry’s.  I didn’t have much time at their house due to the conference schedule; I only saw them a couple times in the 4 days I was there.  Larry did get me all set up with a bike, helmet and light so I could ride it to the Sheraton for conference meetings; that was convenient.  I used the Super Shuttle from the airport and it delivered me (and picked me back up) directly at their door.  

I was concerned when I first saw my bed – it was narrower than a standard twin bed.  However, I slept great in it!  The shower could have used a little more water pressure; and if you’re sensitive to smells, the house had that distinctive odor that some older homes have.  The hammock in the back yard was a nice place to relax after a day of sessions.
"
333838,22295104,2014-11-03,20240125,Frank,"Very hospitable people, flexible and friendly. Great location in Austin close to the major attractions. Thanks."
333838,22485113,2014-11-08,19965022,Jon,"My stay was fantastic.  Room was ideal, clean, cozy, and quiet, and with wifi.   There was ample desk space for doing some work if needed.  JoAnna made me feel welcome and at ease.  My bus from Houston was late, so I arrived about 10:30 pm and then walked to the house, which is adjacent to UT campus--the perfect location.  JoAnna was so kind, making an effort to contact me (email, text, etc.) to offer a ride, but since I don't carry a cell phone I couldn't be reached.  I had a rain jacket and umbrella and enjoyed the walk.  It was refreshing, and I needed the exercise after a long bus ride.  Finally arrived around 11pm, and soon thereafter nestled down into dreamland.  Slept great. Shower was fine, ample hot water.  Grabbed some cereal and set off to UT campus on the bike provide by JoAnna. Not my usually ride, but got me where I needed to go and I even had a chance to take a ride along one of the river trails in the evening.  Having a bike available for use was a real plus.  Slept great the second night too.  Had breakfast with JoAnna and another guest.  Enjoyed conversation.  Wish I would have had more time to visit.  They even shared their smoked trout with me!  I love smoked fish.  A little morning protein to start the day right.  Price was ideal b/c I was trying to economize on this trip.  I would definitely  stay here again if back in Austin. Thanks, JoAnna for a relaxing stay! "
333838,22640142,2014-11-10,5530541,Ti,"Joanna and Larry were great hosts. The house was clean, they were both easy to communicate with and who doesn't love free breakfast in the morning? Thanks Joanna and Larry!"
333838,22792794,2014-11-15,83166,Julie,"I had a great stay with Larry and Joanna. They're very welcoming and obviously love Austin; their suggestions helped fill my limited tourism time quickly! (The historic cemetery just down the block is definitely worth at least a quick visit, and several attractions are in easy walking distance of their home.) The house is cosy, comfortable and filled with interesting artwork. I actually stayed in the pink room, as the green room was getting a solar tube installed the next day - slept very well and woke up to a yummy hot breakfast."
333838,24143031,2014-12-21,19447771,Yiyan,"This was my second time staying at Larry and Joanna's place, still a great and pleasant stay. Nice people, cozy room and lovely cats. I would recommend this place to anyone who visit Austin."
333838,25145491,2015-01-07,24950227,Saleh,"Larry and Joanna were great hosts! A friend and I stayed at the green room for a week, and thankfully the Vaughn's had included an extra bed for our stay. Everything we needed was available and we received a bunch of tips on where to go. The kitchen was generously open to us, and Joanna even gave us a ride one night! I am very satisfied with our and will definitely come back if I'm ever in Austin again. Thanks guys!"
333838,25537149,2015-01-19,17129189,Gene,"I cannot imagine more welcoming or caring hosts than Joanna and Larry. I didn't have any plans my first night there and Larry invited me to go out to dinner with him. The description of the room was accurate. I had their room for a single person and, although the bed was narrow - the width of a twin - the length was just fine for my 6'2"" height. The location was a 25 min walk to the heart of the UT campus. Had to cross some major streets but there were crossing lights. Check out the old cemetery just to the east."
333838,25623449,2015-01-20,2457685,Susan,Larry and Joanna were great hosts.  I was very happy to meet them.  It was a great experience being there.  They even invited me to go see a movie with them and their friends.  
333838,26321602,2015-02-09,22659252,William,Wonderful neighborhood is a quiet community. The Vaughns are very friendly and communicative. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a place in Austin.
333838,26694202,2015-02-17,633661,Crystal,"It was truly wonderful being hosted by Joanna and Larry. From the offer to pick me up at the bus stop to sharing meals with them and their friends, I was made to feel right at home. Loved the treasure trove of books in their home! Nice neighbourhood with a bunch of cute stores and restaurants on 11th street, Blue Dahlia and Take Heart to name a couple.  Made an already fun time in Austin even more amazing!"
333838,26887518,2015-02-21,27558819,Kelly,Great location that made it easy to get around Austin. Larry and Joanna were very helpful. 
333838,27006370,2015-02-23,13446201,David,"Larry and Joanna were wonderful hosts. Their house is cozy, in a great neighborhood, and a short walk from downtown Austin. They had lots of suggestions for things to do around town."
333838,27567315,2015-03-07,912379,David,"Joanna and Larry were really great hosts. My train was four hours late getting in, but Larry volunteered to come pick me up on a cold rainy Austin night.They also welcomed me into their home, introduced me to the other AirBnB guest and offered me a late night snack. My room was also very interesting and cozy with a dresser, desk and work space as well as a selection of books and magazines to read. 

I will definitely stay at their place again."
333838,27633115,2015-03-08,28773480,Aykut,"Larry and Joanna's green room was my first airbnb booking. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to meet with Larry when I was there. Joanna was very kind and hospitable. She basically made us feel like we were home. The room is full of art pieces and nice paintings, some of which I personally like very much. The room and bathroom were very clean. They consider even the smallest details about their guests' comfort. The location is also very convenient.  It's 15-25 minutes to walk to downtown depending on your step size. The Congress is even closer. It's also quite close to a highway entrance and the bus stop (to the airport)."
333838,27749206,2015-03-10,17965200,Aaron,"Very welcoming and helpful with my late arrival and check out times. They were great and made the whole process easy. The house was warm and cozy and reminded me of staying at a family members house.  The location was perfect, outside of downtown, but right next to it for easy access. "
333838,28375215,2015-03-23,1527673,Nico,"Joanna and Larry are two of the most hospitable hosts I know! 

The home is cosy and full of cool art, and very close to downtown.

Overall, highly recommended!!"
333838,29794666,2015-04-12,30671717,Stephanie,The cot was surprisingly comfortable. We slept great. Its a small quaint quiet house. Nothing fancy so if you're into fancy this isn't maybe for you. We enjoyed our stay.
333838,30123973,2015-04-18,26241952,Lionel,"Larry and Joanna were the ideal hosts. They made me feel welcome; provided a clean comfortable room and a well-provisioned refrigerator I was free to take from; offered great conversation; and fitted in with my schedules and routine. They also had a friendly cat (plus two others that stayed outdoors).
The house is quirky and quaint and in a quiet part of town, close enough to the center to walk, but with a good bus service (every 30 minutes) should one need it."
333838,30421190,2015-04-21,5084137,Sean,"Larry and Joanna were wonderful hosts! They were very welcoming and accommodating, and the room was very comfortable. It was also a great location for exploring Austin."
333838,30709428,2015-04-26,30720399,Melvin,"Great hosts, safe neighborhood, and relatively easy to get around. "
333838,31050699,2015-05-01,29675807,Sheila,"Larry and Joanna were wonderful hosts. They were very hospitable and made me feel like I am home. The house is warm and cozy and the room is very comfortable. The location is good, right next to town and easy access from bus and taxi."
333838,31491414,2015-05-05,32009361,Erinn,Larry and Joanna are wonderful hosts. We had a great experience staying in their home. They were very accommodating and I really appreciated all of the toiletries that they had on hand. 
333838,32122022,2015-05-14,8965034,Dani,"My friend and I are so happy we got to meet Larry and Joanna and stay in their cozy home. They are both really lovely people and were very welcoming when we arrived. We got a lot of great, useful tips on where to go and what to see around Austin; we really enjoyed it when Larry took us to a local restaurant and then showed us some sights! The room we stayed in was very nice, clean and comfortable with inspiring art pieces on the walls and shelves filled with interesting books. It was lovely to have breakfast in their cosy kitchen, sipping on Joanna's homemade, delicious juice while looking out on the pretty garden. The house is in a safe and friendly neighborhood with walking distance from downtown. Larry and Joanna are fantastic hosts, we hope to stay with them again sometime!"
333838,32646259,2015-05-19,6121044,Niky,The Vaughn's were a delightful couple and very accommodating. We weren't able to arrive until very late and they graciously allowed us to still check in w/ special arrangements. The room in the house they have lived in since the 1990's was just the right size and very cozy. 
333838,34529829,2015-06-09,17899481,Tony,"Larry and Joanna were really lovely people. The house is a cool, very typical Austin home. Importantly, it had great air-conditioning, a must in Texas! The hosts made me feel very welcome, and took great care in pointing out that anything I needed in their home was at my disposal. I spent an entire week here, and always felt safe and comfortable but not imposed upon. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone thinking of visiting Austin. Oh, the cats are very friendly also!"
333838,34987034,2015-06-14,18688311,Afton,"Joanna was kind enough to rise early and receive me at 6:30am. I felt comfortable right away, both with the hosts and in the space. The room is cozy, and the air conditioning pumping! Larry and Joanna gave some helpful advice on the local sights (the Capital tour is actually cool), and they also gave me plenty of privacy. Location is convenient to downtown and the famous Franklin's BBQ joint. Recommend."
333838,40864505,2015-08-02,30050606,Antoine,"Les images et la description sont assez fidèles au lieu. Le quartier est calme et mignon, et bien situé vis a vis des points touristiques de Austin. Pour sortir le soir, le chemin a pied n'est pas des plus accueillant, mais le service Uber était disponible, rapide, et très peu cher (3$ la course)
 Larry a été a l’écoute, accueillant, et a pris soin de nos besoins, il s'est rendu disponible vis a vis de notre emploi du temps.
"
333838,41868727,2015-08-09,37098836,Maddy,"Great Location, wonderful room, and even more wonderful host! Thanks for making my first week in austin feel so comfortable larry! I appreciate it so much! 
Hope to see you around austin! "
333838,46740169,2015-09-13,22817417,Jorge,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was excellent. The main reason was due to the hosts. The are just awesome. Very flexible, they can take care of you when you need, or just let you in total peace when you want to.  Many things to teach about the city and Texas, concerning History, Art, etc,... The house corresponds exactly to the description.  I could take good rest there. The breakfast was included and it was diverse and of good quality.  I'm not aware of US urbanism or architecture but the neighborhood seemed ok to me. Hold houses with clean gardens and social mixture. I always walked or ride the bicycle in my displacements to the center without problems. Ask the host for their suggestions. They know what they do. To repeat again!"
333838,47664353,2015-09-21,26893439,Jamie,The hosts made us feel welcome.  They made sure we had everything we needed in order to have a pleasant stay.  It was a peaceful home located on a quiet street.  
333838,49447327,2015-10-04,39886976,Ruixin,"Really nice experience and very good host. We got everything needed by Larry, such as breakfast, laundry and drier, comfortable room, wifi, and hot water, and the house is quite near UT."
333838,50066195,2015-10-09,1444591,Jeanne,"Larry and Joanna live in a really interesting home filled with all sorts of interesting art, books and objects. Unfortunately, I was there for a conference so I didn't have much of an opportunity to talk with them about said objects or read one of the many interesting books on the shelf.  Both were very welcoming. It is more like visiting friends or family.  The street is nice and quiet at night and, if you are a walker, it is an easy walk to downtown during the day. The rooms are quite close together so there can be some noise transmission between the rooms. The bed was very comfy nice firm mattress but not too firm.  Lots of choices for breakfast and a nice binder full of information on the neighborhood and Austin. "
333838,50438854,2015-10-12,21775166,Mollie,"Larry and Johanna were very kind. They were welcoming and accommodating and let us use their bikes to ride in and out of the city and to and from Austin City Limits. They also let us use any of the food and utensils in the kitchen to make breakfast, including delicious watermelon! "
333838,52119063,2015-10-26,45811905,Sarah,"Larry and Joanna were very hospitable and accommodating.  They invited me to join them on their evening out to see a play when my event was cancelled, Joanna cooked me dinner, and they gave me a tour of the neighborhood and directions to help find my way around Austin.  The room was clean and comfortable, and the cat was very friendly.  They were also very nice to talk to, with interesting conversation.  I would definitely recommend this listing to friends!"
333838,52878378,2015-11-02,978061,David,"Larry and Joanna are wonderful and considerate hosts and their cozy place is well-located. They provide towels, basic toiletries, breakfast, and even set out rain gear on a day that it rained. Joanna also drove me downtown one day. They do have cats, in case you have an allergy (though I do, and it wasn't a problem, so long as I kept my door shut)."
2350566,19057275,2014-09-05,20036542,John,Jon was an excellent host. He was very welcoming and gave us all sorts of ideas on what to do in the city. The space was nice and relatively private on the 2nd floor loft 
2350566,21644431,2014-10-20,22494836,Eric,"Jon was great, he worked from home Friday afternoon to welcome me, and he even gave me a ride to an event nearby that I was attending.

Very friendly open and accommodating, laid back and perfect for my first Air BNB experience.  

The accommodation was very nice, quiet, everything you needed, and in a quiet, safe, and rapidly changing neighborhood nearby just about anything."
2350566,22041128,2014-10-28,5937860,Dean,Staying at Jon's place was like hanging at a friend's home. Jon and his girlfriend were very warm and accomidating. His home was better than the pictures. This is where I will stay everytime I'm in Austin!
2350566,26750713,2015-02-18,12222629,John,"I  was welcomed by the host, showing the house and introducing the residendts.  The  large house was just like the photos in the listing.   I would stay there again."
2350566,27079172,2015-02-24,27974404,Anthony,"Awesome host! Jon, his girlfriend and their great dogs were very welcoming. It felt like staying with friends who happen to live in town rather than renting a room from a stranger. Would love to stay there again! "
2350566,28478950,2015-03-24,13978510,Julien,"Jon was amazing host and his home is fantastic – just a short walk from the train station and about a 15-minutes bike ride to and from downtown. It was spacious, comfy with a modern feel. There's a large patio and backyard and the private room in which I stayed was exactly right – I felt I could get my privacy when I wanted to and otherwise hang around in the kitchen or in the patio.

Jon was very accommodating and friendly. He was always quick to respond, gave us rides to downtown, invited me to some of the events he went to during my week there, provided guidance on where to go and what to see in town. Cherry on top: warm coffee was waiting on the kitchen table every single morning.

That was my first time renting an AirBnb that was just a private room instead of a full apartment and wouldn't hesitate to do it again in these conditions."
2350566,30406283,2015-04-21,24745576,Christy,"We loved Austin. I actually never saw John while we were there, but his girlfriend Savannah was a sweet heart. Their two dogs were adorable. DELICIOUS coffee on the counter every morning, and their place was beautiful and cozy. Great city, had an awesome time. We would absolutely stay here again! Thanks John and Savannah!! "
5848386,52806070,2015-11-01,30245313,Jewel,"Struan was exceptionally welcoming and a perfect host! We never felt like we were intruding and his place is in such an amazing location. You are literally 2 minutes away from Chuy's and a bunch of other amazing food spots are in a 10 minute walking radius!! Zilker Park is also just a few steps away so this helps to complete the ""full Austin experience"" if that's what you're looking for! Downtown is only a $6-8 Lyft/Uber ride. There's a dog park across the street so it was cute to see many fur babies playing there! The price was great! We definitely recommend Struan and his airbnb!"
8355807,49681598,2015-10-05,44388128,John,"Hope was an awesome host who was very friendly and accommodating. When we first arrived to her home, she greeted us at the front door and gave a quick tour of her property which was very nicely setup. She took the time to show us around the house where we would be staying and explained all the little important things about the house such as the lock pad, wifi, extra food in the fridge and coffee for the morning. The house was set up with a loft in the upper deck which fit 2 people, a fold out fouton and a full size bed. It was plenty of sleeping space for 7 grown people and we were very comfortable throughout our whole stay. My friends, who did not know what kind of house we would be staying in, were very impressed with my choice in Hope's home and enjoyed their stay there. The neighborhood was very near Zilker Park (about 30min walking distance) which was perfect for us since we were there for the ACL music festival. It was also well protected from others who would try to use the neighborhood for parking during the event which made it nice and quiet. Overall, we had a awesome weekend and we would highly recommend Hope if you were looking for a great comfortable place to stay in Austin. "
8355807,50503532,2015-10-12,7228593,Tony,"We had a wonderful experience at Hope's place. It was a perfect location for ACL, just a 25 min or so walk to Zilker. Hope was very accommodating with our early check in and we would definitely look to stay during our next trip to Austin!"
8355807,52283390,2015-10-27,9854639,Danny,"Hope was exceptionally hospitable - from booking to check-in to hosting to check-out, the experience was very smooth. The cottage itself is awesome! White-glove clean with all the amenities you need for a comfortable and relaxing place to call home during your visit to Austin. Even though the cottage is back behind the house - getting in and out is very easy and safe - and private enough that you don't feel weird or intrusive coming and going. I highly recommend Hope and her cottage to anyone looking for a great value!"
503809,22627814,2014-11-10,23304316,Victoria,"The host was very welcoming! She provided fruit and juice, amenities that we may have forgotten (toothbrush, shampoos etc).  This was a HUGE plus since I did forget a few things... Neighborhood was fine for our needs and felt safe. It was very convenient to restaurants and the airport. I would definitely recommend."
503809,23191288,2014-11-24,1588803,Matt,"We stayed 4 nights at Sheila's place in Austin in Nov 2014.  Communication and booking was quick and easy.  There was plenty of space for the four of us, and we appreciated the breakfast provisions and toiletries that Sheila provided.  It was an easy drive to most of the main attractions in Austin.  I would recommend this house for people travelling on a budget with a car.  "
503809,23404145,2014-11-30,3503865,Terri,"Sheila's place was great. Close to town and comfortable and clean. She supplied coffee, water and some fruit and instant oatmeal and bars which were much appreciated for breakfast."
503809,23904898,2014-12-14,8701540,Thierry,"Sheila nous a donné toutes les informations nécessaires avant notre arrivée. La maison est bien équipée, et nous nous sommes sentis bienvenus. La maison et le mobilier ne sont pas neufs mais agréables et bien décorés. Le jardin pourra être un bon plus quand il sera fini (aménagement en cours...)  Nos chattes se sont vite habituées et ont découverts le coq et les poules du voisin. Située dans un quartier calme mais proche des supermarchés, des accès routiers, et à 10 min. des animations du centre. 
Nous recommandons volontiers la maison de Sheila. Notre séjour y était plus que satisfaisant."
503809,24304975,2014-12-25,16113703,Jin,"We got into town a little earlier than the check-in time, and Sheila kindly allowed us to check in early which was a huge plus. The airbnb had snacks, coffee, and water, and the bathroom had toiletries which was really great. Sheila was great about communicating with us throughout. We had a very nice stay overall. "
503809,24554301,2014-12-30,14691797,Hwasoon,"Her place was just as she described and we enjoyed staying there. She provided the access way beforehand and some simple breakfast, coffee, and bottled water. The house has lots of window, which wan't in our favor in the unfortunate rainy and cold weather when we were there. I think the location was pretty good, because it's fairly close to the downtown (10 minutes drive) and very close to Walmart and the interstate. She provided some travel size shampoo, conditioner, soap, and so on in the bathroom, and the water in the shower was pretty good. I just wish the weather was better so that we could enjoy the bright house fully. Oh, I loved the decorations on the floor with pennies and some pages from magazine, I think. "
503809,25357900,2015-01-13,5737354,Becky,"We had a great time in Sheila's place and she made us feel very welcome.   She left snacks for us and made sure we knew we could contact her if we had any concerns.  Her place was roomy and decorated in a cool way (magazine decoupage and penny mosaic on the some of the floors)!  The location was pretty close to South Congress and Zilker Park, which were the areas we were mostly visiting. We really enjoyed our stay!"
503809,25779999,2015-01-25,26498894,Paige,I enjoyed my stay. I really liked the chickens and roosters. The bed was comfortable and towels and washcloths were provided as well as other toiletries. The house was clean and on a street with other quirky little houses. It was a 7-10 dollar über drive to all the best spots in Austin. I had a great time here. 
503809,26082307,2015-02-02,26748234,Ashley,Staying so close to congress was wonderful. We were less than 10 minutes from everything we wanted to do. The house was amazing and had everything we needed. Sheila made it a very successful girls weekend!
503809,26868142,2015-02-21,25459668,Becky,This house was a great and affordable place for us to stay with our young kids during our week in Austin. Sheila provided some snacks for us so we had something to eat before we made it to the grocery store. Very clean and comfortable!
503809,27059829,2015-02-24,26684682,Neeta,"We had a great stay at Sheila's place. She is incredibly responsive, so the lead up to our stay was very easy.  The house itself is great - bright, comfortable, clean, and lots of interesting design details!  The place was perfectly clean when we arrived, with several nice touches - towels laid out on the beds, fruit and water in the kitchen, and toiletries in the bathroom.  Would definitely recommend this to anyone who needs an affordable place to stay in Austin for a few nights. Only issue is that it's not too close to downtown, but easy enough if you have a car or you can Uber around."
503809,27718690,2015-03-10,25667570,Antonio Jose,"Zona muy tranquila y muy cerca del centro de la ciudad. Nos gustó mucho el estilo y la decoración de la casa, una casa antigua de estilo americano."
503809,28460790,2015-03-24,17185513,Igor,"I visited Sheila’s place during SXSW 2015. This house is a great location. It is less than a 10 minute drive from the main venues. The house was clean and simple. Sheila was accommodating to my arrival. I would certainly recommend this location. She provided the access way beforehand and some simple breakfast, coffee, and bottled water and even some cosmetics (shampoo, toothpaste) I case you might forget. I loved the decorations on the floor with pennies and magazine pages.  I would certainly recommend this location."
503809,29175299,2015-04-05,15957315,Joshua,"Great house for the family to stay for our vacation. The house is very close to the airport, and easy to get around by car throughout the city. Sheila was a great host. The house was spotless, with lots of nice touches to make our stay even better. Coffee, bottled water, oatmeal and all the amenities we had forgot (deodorant) were there for us, already taken care of.

"
503809,29904582,2015-04-14,2591988,Jeff,"Sheila's apartment was a comfortable, trendy, and fun for my friend and me to stay for the weekend.  We very much enjoyed the reclaimed materials interior and the location was just a short drive away from Austin's famous 6th Street."
503809,30305719,2015-04-20,4244440,Robert,"Sheila was there to greet us when we arrived. We found the place to be as shown in photos and described by the hostess: Clean and Comfortable.

Location was very convenient to all of our appointments near the airport and in downtown/ South Lamar and SoCo. Only minutes by car to where we needed to be.

Thanks Sheila!

"
503809,30860034,2015-04-28,11586817,Jenny,"Sheila's house was a wonderful, warm get away for a busy wedding weekend. The house was very clean and Sheila was accommodating to our request for an early arrival, she was also quick with answers to questions during our stay. Our only critical feedback would be that it would have been nice to know ahead of time that there are a couple roosters living next door, they made for a couple early mornings! Overall a wonderful experience, definitely recommended. "
503809,31938353,2015-05-12,1503917,Amy,"Sheila was awesome and helpful to us when our flight got cancelled and we needed to scramble for a place to stay another night. The house is fun and funky, and clean. We appreciated the coffee and bottled water. We liked the rooster next door- gave a certain kind of Texas charm! Great place, we'd stay there again. "
503809,32760226,2015-05-21,13494988,Katherine,"Great quirky house in a great location. The was clean and comfortable as in the description. The beds were really comfy and we loved the floor. We were able to get down town super quick. We also got the local bus which was very easy to do. We did not meet Sheila but she had dropped us info when I'd made enquiries, she was always very quick at replying to messages and helpful when we left stuff behind. I would definitely recommend this house a place to stay in Austin."
503809,33251025,2015-05-26,30311433,Anna,"This was my first experience with airbnb, and overall, it was fantastic. I received a message from Sheila when I initially booked telling me that she would contact me about a week prior to my stay. After two unreturned messages, I called Sheila 3 days before my trip and received the info I needed. We arrived to find the house very clean and comfortable. Staying there was better than a hotel in all the ways I expected. The decor was really cool, and we had everything we needed from dishes to towels. I would have preferred the communication be better, but beyond that, I have absolutely no complaints. It was great!"
503809,34204460,2015-06-06,30438249,Claudette,"We had a  great stay at Sheila's, the space was lovely. We never met Sheila but we did speak to her on the phone when we arrived, and she seemed really lovely and courteous. Everything we could have needed was provided, and there was coffee, tea and snacks in the kitchen. If you don't have a car, you don't have to worry, the busses are about a 10-15 minute walk away and they take you straight into town - it's also incredibly cheap and the tickets last 24 hours. We would definitely stay again if were ever in Austin. "
503809,34958982,2015-06-14,10103985,Yoram,"I enjoyed staying in Sheila's place very much. It is a quiet neighborhood (if you don't mind the neighbors' roosters), the house is comfortable, and Sheila was flexible and made all the efforts to ensure my stay is pleasant. I was without a car, and used the #7 bus (the station is about 10-12 minutes' walk) and Uber. Don't miss the nearby Vic's BBQ. Excellent casual local dining. 

I already booked my next trip to Austin with Sheila."
503809,35841706,2015-06-22,34854572,Jonathan,"Sheila was very easy to communicate with and she had all necessities in the house for our use. It was a very comfortable home with some unique, funky, truly Austin-original type aesthetics. A very relaxed and casual place to spend a weekend. In other times of the year, it would be nice to have some patio furniture out back and maybe some general upkeep of the yard, but during our visit it was hot and humid outside and not conducive to hanging out on the patio. Instead, we took advantage of the kitchen and bar, made a delicious meal using the pots and pans Sheila provided, and enjoyed a nice bottle of wine sitting at the cozy dining table. No TV or other distractions allowed us to experience hearing actual chickens next door. Although the house is located on a somewhat busy street, getting in and out of the driveway was no trouble whatsoever. We will definitely look to stay here again when we visit Austin! So close to so much and way more affordable and comfortable than a hotel in the same area. Thanks for everything, Sheila!"
503809,36422768,2015-06-28,11023450,Jessika,"I wanted to get very elaborate with this review but I don't think it is necessary anymore. Sheila is such a lovely host. She made our stay in Austin easy and stress free. Although I never met Sheila, she was fast to respond to text and email. The kitchen is well equipped and the sofa area is comfortable. She provided more amenities and extras then ever expected. The only thing others should be aware of is the rooster next door. She did warn me of this before hand so it wasn't a surprise. "
503809,38517807,2015-07-16,11601287,Kacy,Great location! It was quick and easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. The roosters next door didn't bother us a bit.  Sheila was very quick to respond to any and all communications and was a great host. And thank you for allowing our boxer! She had a great time too!
503809,38851864,2015-07-19,6826334,Nikki,"We hosted some students here for a workshop, and they and my staff couldn't stop taking about how cute their place was! The place is darling, and Sheila is a great host - quick to respond to any messages and super accommodating! I would for sure use it again for future work functions. "
503809,39569989,2015-07-24,3643967,Amanda,Sheila is a great host and very responsive! Her place is very cozy and is in a great location. I was having car trouble while i was in Austin and she was quite accommodating when I needed to add an extra night to my stay. 
503809,40161474,2015-07-28,815864,Jenn,Sheila was very easy to communicate with and the house was exactly as pictured.  Very cozy and a great launching spot to explore Austin.  We had a great time.
503809,40987615,2015-08-03,14212083,Philip,"Even cuter in person! The place has a great vibe to it from the periodical and penny flooring to the wooden furniture. Bathroom vanity and toiletries were provided which were great pluses. Even had a little loofah and toothbrush kit! I saw detergent on site but never sought out to do laundry. 

The roosters and dogs will be audible but I wasn't a nuisance to me. I frankly thought if added to the vibe. Plus it got my lazy butt out of bed!

Kitchen and fridge were in good working order with many cookware items which we utilized. 

The beds are firm, but I liked that. Couch is comfy and roomy enough for person to sleep on if need be. 

I would find it hard pressed to fit two cars in the driveway, but there is street parking. Backing out is a bit of a pain due to the steep hill but TIP: pull out at an angle, pull in forward and treat it as a 3-point uturn.

One of the best things I look for is the host, which Sheila was great on! Great communication, easy instructions and a welcoming note. Even better??? I had left my brand new battery pack there like an idiot and she is very helpful in getting it back to me! I wouldn't recommend leaving anything but if you do, you can trust it won't be on eBay afterwards ;)

Cute place! Location is great with easy access to two highways. About 15mins to Whole Foods HQ, 10mins to East Austin.

Thanks Sheila!!"
503809,41591504,2015-08-08,14066893,Dorena,Booking and communication prior to check-in were easy peasy. The location was perfect for our desire to access McKinney Falls State Park in one direction and Austin food trucks and coffee shops in the other direction (heaps of choices within 15 minutes) when we wanted to dine out. We used the WiFi which was adequate for typical e-mail needs 4 days out of 5 but a bit slow for streaming video. We used the washer and dryer which was very convenient to have on site.
503809,42062166,2015-08-10,27662766,Eree,Our stay at Sheila's was great! Comfortable and cute and a convenient location. Would definitely recommend staying here!
503809,42215840,2015-08-11,17446205,Rachel,We stayed at Sheila's house on our way home from soccer in South Texas. We wanted a place we could relax and enjoy Austin. It was perfect. We would totally stay there again.
503809,42760561,2015-08-15,36168099,Jonathan,Sheila's place was great. Just as described. Clean and comfortable. She was able to arrange an early check-in on my request. Great host and looks after her guests. Thanks Sheila!
503809,43117512,2015-08-17,5310776,Molly,"Sheila was great. Getting in and out was super easy, and the house was clean and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, which was perfect!
However the neighbors had roosters and a dog that were very loud, there should have been some warning of roosters before we booked. We weren't planning on having very early mornings haha "
503809,46116891,2015-09-08,10103985,Yoram,"This was my second visit to Sheila's place. I enjoyed the first visit, as well as the second one. The roosters are still there :)"
503809,46651880,2015-09-12,42870298,Josue,"The listing is as described. Affordable house near South Congress and I-35, so it is convenient to get pretty much anywhere from the location. That being said, this IS NOT a place for someone who wants to sleep in and will be easily bothered by multiple roosters and dogs at the neighbor's house next door. At one point there were roosters in the front yard of the house. I had to ask the neighbor to do something about the dog who was barking incessantly at one point in the morning, but as I had a full schedule on my trip, waking up early was not an issue. The location is a duplex, but still holds a very private feel. The backyard is not so much kid friendly as there is a random assortment of objects that toddlers or young children are sure to get into(my four year old brought some gross assortment to me as I was sitting on the back porch), but would be fine for bigger dogs. The bed in the master bedroom is definitely not the most comfortable, and the whole place could definitely use a renovation. It was not the cleanest place I have ever stayed, but it was ok.  I am not a picky person so I was fine with the place vs. the price I paid, but I would not recommend if paying too much. The WIFI worked fine and the kitchen is stocked with anything needed to cook. The best part of the place honestly was the host Sheila was was extremely helpful and responsive my entire stay. I don't think I will be staying at this property again in Austin, but I would definitely recommend Sheila as a host and would be happy to stay at another of her properties.  "
503809,46944675,2015-09-14,42420125,Cassidy,"The house is clean, unique, charming and well equipped!  Sheila is an absolute pleasure, immeidately responded to any of my questions and checking in to make sure we were comfortable.  This is not a fault of Sheila or the home, but the neighbors have a very loud dog that barks incessantly.  They also have several roosters that could be an issue if you plan to sleep in.  The dog was a bigger problem for us, though. Overall, a great experience!  Just be aware that it can be a bit noisy!  "
503809,47978631,2015-09-22,34374946,Lauren,"As other reviews have stated, Sheila is very easy to contact and if anything at all is a problem she's more than happy to pop over and help out. When we arrived, the key was in a different location than I had thought, and she was over within 5 minutes! She had plenty of suggestions for places to eat nearby and made sure that everything was comfortable for us. The house is situated on a busy street, which was not at all a problem for us but may be for a family with small children or dogs who tend to escape (ours were fine). Overall, excellent quiet and spacious spot with easy access to everywhere we wanted to go. Downtown Austin is just a $10 Uber ride away. A great value!"
503809,48316420,2015-09-25,37706256,Ty,This is a great two bedroom home in an area south of the river that is clearly experiencing some revitalization/gentrification.  Close to everything you would want. 60s era duplex that has been creatively appointed with care and talent. Sheila is very communicative and on top of everything. Loved our stay and it was more than worth the great price we paid!
503809,48878220,2015-09-29,7436419,Aaron,Shelia's place was a perfect fit for my friends and I.  We enjoyed the open floor plan and big windows.  Our pets loved it too!
503809,49761493,2015-10-06,24675653,Graham,Sheila was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The house itself was clean and had the essentials. 
503809,49901441,2015-10-07,26474857,Karla,"Sheila's place was perfect for us! We never saw her in person, but she was quick to respond to texts, and answers to questions. The decor was quaint and whimsical, and the beds were comfy. I'd be happy to stay there again!"
503809,50613996,2015-10-13,23436326,Lizza,"The roosters and the dog are still next door.  If you're a light sleeper then this may bother you.  We were there for ACL and while we did wake up, it was fairly easy to fall back asleep.  We did have a visit from some unwanted critters but Sheila took care of that right away.  Like others before me have said, she responds promptly and is always available should any issues arise.  The house itself is a bit older but definitely has an ""Austin"" vibe to it.  "
503809,50769201,2015-10-14,26858603,Catherine,"Booking and communication prior to check-in were super easy. Sheila's place was spacious, clean and comfortable. She was great about responding to emails quickly.  Her place was in a convenient location and quick and easy for us to get anywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely recommend staying at her place! "
503809,51122946,2015-10-18,25372006,Lindsay,"My family and I stayed at Sheilas place for 3 nights. All was fine. The dog was more of a bother than the rooster, but we didn't loose any sleep over it. Not Sheilas fault. 
Kitchen had all you need.
My daughter enjoyed making a ""fairy garden"" in the backyard.
The best part of this place was the LOCATION. You can get to anyplace in 10-15 min.
Sheila was awesome in suggesting some yummy placed to eat as well.
Thank you! "
503809,51869443,2015-10-24,3378583,Maya,"This home was very welcoming and convenient.  The instructions for getting the key were easy and we had a good night's sleep!
The house is very cozy with interesting details! We got in late and left early, so we didn't have much time to enjoy it, but the wifi was strong and coffee got us going in the am!  We would stay here again!"
5257889,30811804,2015-04-27,30877973,Cory,"Host was very clear and helpful. Beautiful, clean home in a nice, safe neighborhood near downtown. The have a great, well kept garden. "
5257889,33252388,2015-05-26,5265206,Victoria,"The house was convenient, and Sarah was easy to communicate with.  It's definitely a lived in home, so if you're looking for a hotel-esque home, this won't be a perfect match.  Stayed here with small children, so the nursery was very helpful.  I had a few comments about bugs in the house, but other than that it was fine.  Considering the tremendous amount of rain during the weekend, the bugs don't surprise me."
5257889,44088404,2015-08-23,40812531,Stephanie,The host canceled this reservation 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2077867,9659546,2014-01-04,10706045,Franziska,"Wonderful, cozy cabin in a quiet well established residential neighborhood. Great with kids and pets. There is an enclosed back yard where they can roam and explore. We went in winter and loved the fire place, sitting in the morning sun on the porch outside the kitchen, and the comfy beds. If you don't have the need to be right in the hustle and bustle of Austin then this is a perfect home away from home. Downtown can be reached in 10 minutes by car. We had everything we needed. The hosts are still ironing out some minor issues in their loving remodel of this cabin but it's great already! We look forward to going back sometime..."
2077867,9854441,2014-01-14,7119855,Kaci,"The cabin was very nice and clean.  Towels and linens were very clean.  Daniel was very easy to get a hold of and answer questions related to checking in.  Check-in was easy with key outside in lock box.  I left a pair of expensive gloves behind and his wife (or girlfriend?) called me to get my address and mailed them within a day.  The location was very convenient to several restaurants, breweries and coffee shops.  The neighborhood felt very safe.  The kitchen was well-equipped and all appliances worked well.  The only reason I didn't leave 5 stars is because the internet was very slow.  I did not get a chance to inform our host while we were staying, so maybe it could have been fixed?  I mentioned it after our stay and they said they would look into it, so I bet it will be improved!  Would definitely stay here again.  Good price for location."
2077867,9978945,2014-01-22,4318507,Shawna,We very much enjoyed our stay with Daniel and Selina. The cabin in the city was an absolute jewel.  The large porch and fireplace were a big perk.  Daniel and Selina were prompt with their responses to our questions and all of our needs were taken care of.  We look forward to coming back to Austin and would absolutely rent the cabin again.
2077867,10511266,2014-02-23,7900187,Mark And Jennifer,"Daniel and Selina are gracious hosts and try to make sure you have everything you need.  There were some internet problems but I think they are getting that solved.
The place is really cute and has 2 bedrooms and a nice bright bathroom.  We used the fireplace alot since it was really cold many nights while we stayed there.  That was fun.
The cabin is like the description, ""a cabin in the city"", because it is tucked behind the main house in a secluded spot and has two decks and a nice big backyard with a garden.  In the spring and summer those decks will be great!  The neighborhood is in a nice area but you might need a car or at least a bike if you want to go downtown or south congress.  There is a bus nearby as long as you make sure to check the schedule online (austin doesnt have the best bus system).  However, nearby Burnet Road is walking distance and has many little shops, thrift stores, food, and a grocery store and pharmacy.  Check out Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon for an old-school Austin experience.
We stayed here a month and it was great.  I would highly recommend it and would stay there again!
"
2077867,10624562,2014-02-28,8675015,Bridget,Absolutely wonderful stay! My fiance and I moved to Austin and needed a place to stay temporarily while finding a house to rent. Daniel and Selina could not have been more kind or helpful. They had quick responses to questions regarding the cabin and Austin in general. Very fun and professional people the entire time! The cabin and property is amazing too! You really feel like you are in a cabin surrounded by nature but you are minutes away from everything Austin has to offer. Great spot! 
2077867,10748097,2014-03-05,12301774,Alexander,"Daniel and Selina's cabin was great and exactly as described. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely book here again on a return trip to Austin. The majority of the places we wanted to visit were ten minutes away or less, and we appreciated the peaceful nature of Daniel and Selina's property. It got a little cold in Austin during the back end of our trip and Daniel and Selina were kind enough to provide us with a full stock of firewood, which we took full advantage of in building a fire in the evening. If you are headed to Austin and want a good mix of city excitement and relaxation, Daniel and Selina's cabin is a great option."
2077867,10937150,2014-03-14,11158573,Nicole,The hosts were very helpful and their place was unique and beautiful! 
2077867,11020488,2014-03-17,11527535,Nina,"Daniel and Selina were incredibly hospitable during our stay in SXSW. Their place is very clean and cute, and we comfortably fit 5 during our stay. The neighborhood is quiet, and the only downside for us was that we were relying on the bus to get downtown which took about 45 minutes - 1 hour. "
2077867,11322889,2014-03-30,4281123,Albert,"We booked the cabin for a two weekish stay and enjoyed the space immensely. It was clean, spacious and had an amazing yard for our puppy to run around in. Daniel and Seline were extremely helpful and kind. We had a number of packages delivered and they had no problems receiving them and relaying them to us. The bathroom was pretty cool and I enjoyed the skylight! Overall, the cabin was serene, private and relaxing and we would love to stay again! I love north Austin!"
2077867,11471536,2014-04-04,13036060,Lauryn,"This little ""cabin in the city"" is a real gem.  We felt like we were staying at a summer house by the lake...minus the lake but with all the city of Austin has to offer within easy reach.  The porch and the deck were wonderful to hang out on and the whole cabin is surrounded by green, giving it a real sense of privacy.  We had our dog with us so having the fenced back yard and a walkable neighborhood were a real plus, particularly when compared to staying at your average pet friendly hotel.  There were some really thoughtful touches, too, including a couple of pairs of flip-flops in the bedroom closet and two umbrellas by the door.  We were there at the beginning of spring and Daniel and Selina were just starting to plant things in the garden, which I can only imagine will be lovely as the season progresses.  We did only used the double bed, but the bed was extremely comfortable. Checking in and out was a piece of cake, too.  Overall it was a great experience."
2077867,11534578,2014-04-07,11801982,Heather,"As a first time Airbnb'r, I was a little nervous about the entire process. Upon arrival, I was set at ease with the most beautiful little cabin in the heart of Austin. This sweet little cabin was nestled behind the owner's home but very private. The front and back porches were inviting and we did spend quite a bit of time outside enjoying the quietness of our location. We were a group of three couples and there was plenty of room. Our hosts were available for any emails or questions right away. I will be booking this cabin again for my next trip to Austin."
2077867,12269685,2014-04-28,937281,Lauren&Sarah,"Selina and Daniel's little cottage was perfect for our needs. My partner, mom and I wanted a quiet little spot to hide out during a busy and long weekend wedding celebration. The comfortable cabin was not far from all of the places we needed to go but still felt like we were outside of a bustling city. Clean, spacious and with all of the amenities (including a fireplace!) you might need - it's a cozy place to hang out. Selina and Daniel were great communicators and promptly helped us out when we were having a little trouble with the air conditioner. We'd be happy to stay there again!"
2077867,12608398,2014-05-06,6027616,Heather,My friends and I had the most wonderful experience at the cabin in the city! It is in a great location and just so cute and cozy which is exactly what we wanted and needed. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed and the hosts were so nice and friendly. I strongly recommend the cabin and we hope to visit again!
2077867,12839090,2014-05-12,9354840,Jillian,We had a really easy check in and check out experience. Nice quiet location in central Austin with an awesome porch and deck to hang out on.
2077867,13173977,2014-05-21,4174609,Shirley,"We rented Daniel & Selina's cabin for 6 day visit to Austin for our daughter's graduation. The cabin is a little oasis in the middle of the city. It was just as described and as shown in the photo's and was perfect for our needs. We particularly liked the rear deck and garden..a lovely peaceful place to relax listening to the birds and the neighbors rooster.
Daniel and Selina are great hosts, the cabin was clean and welcoming, information about the internet and housekeeping on the fridge door and with them being so close if we had any questions they were available.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and look forward to staying at the cabin again.
"
2077867,15174335,2014-07-04,14646434,Andrea,"Staying at this little cabin was a great experience start to finish.  It was easy checking in, the place was adorable and functional and comfortable! The owners were absolutely great with everything from helping me with my stupidity in operating the stove to forwarding mail that was mistakenly sent to me there.  And, to me, the best part was how much my dogs were able to settle in and enjoy the yard.  It made the all of the stresses of moving so much less stressful.  The yard borders on wild ... And I mean that in a good way.  Any dog would love the adventure and the humans can enjoy that added feel of being in the country in the middle of the city.  I had concerns initially about having window unit air conditioners in the summer in Austin but they worked great and the temp stayed pleasant throughout.  I highly recommend this place."
2077867,15896064,2014-07-17,8169145,Clay,"The cabin was comfortable and very clean. It is tucked away behind the main house and seems very private. We would consider staying here often when we travel to Austin on business. Only two nitpicks: exiting the drive-way was a long back-up past cars and trees, made somewhat more difficult by the recycle and trash bins to one side of the driveway. And the in-window A/C units are very loud, if you are unaccustomed to them."
2077867,18300644,2014-08-25,13341719,Lynn,We stayed at this nice cabin for 32days to spend summer in Austin. The cabin is perfectly equipped and so comfortable. My family had great fun & pleasant memories about Austin~!
2077867,18736691,2014-08-31,7507691,Miriam,"The neigborhood was very nice.  We loved the location, the quiet, and the house.  We were pleased that the description on the listing was accurate."
2077867,19533164,2014-09-14,18796965,Sara,"We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was a perfect location and exactly what I was looking for on my stay. My son and dogs loved the yard and outdoor area's.  Comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom as well as many thoughtful little details.  
I would definitely book this perfect city hide way again."
2077867,20008443,2014-09-22,16673507,Dave,"The house was clean and situated in a great part of town. We had no trouble getting to it and zero issues of any kind. It was for a business trip so we didn't spend much time there, but I'm sure it's a nice place to relax during the day. "
2077867,20355205,2014-09-28,1614886,Bruce,"As advertised it was a funky charming little two-bedroom cabin in the city.  A very nice experience, well-stocked and well tended. We enjoyed our stay there very much and look forward to rent it again next time were in Austin."
2077867,20812933,2014-10-06,3482235,Fiona,"This was such a cute cabin !!! We went for Austin city limits festival, and we loved staying here. The place was clean and had everything we needed. I loved it. Will stay here anytime !! "
2077867,21195495,2014-10-13,17165184,Ashley,"Excellent excellent trip! Good suggestions to eat, take bus and suggestions from the host! It was such a cute and fun place to stay for a short vacation! If we come to ACL again, we will be looking to stay here! Highly suggest to anyone coming to Austin! "
2077867,21513531,2014-10-19,4549304,Ellen,"I didn't get to meet Daniel since he was away when I stayed at his lovely cabin.  But, both before I arrived and while I was there he was responsive immediately by txt or email when I had questions and was very informative and pleasant.

The cabin is at the back of a house with a yard for kids or dogs and is surrounded by a lush, green oasis(well they did have lots of rain right before I arrived so I can't promise that it is always green!) It was very conveniently located for us.  

Lovely porch and deck to use.  Very comfortable beds in both rooms...we didn't use the pull out sofa but as a sofa it was great.  

New bathroom with sky light over shower which was a nice touch.

Kitchen with major appliances and coffee maker and microwave with some limited pots and pans.  

The only thing to mention is that if you are a light sleeper and it is hot you might want to know that the air conditioner in the master bedroom is very loud.   

We would love to go back to this house, it was a great accommodation when 2 bedrooms were needed.  I do wish I could have brought my dog!"
2077867,21945962,2014-10-27,191466,Ken,"He had a very pleasant stay at the 'Cabin'. Daniel and his wife were helpful but gave us our space so that it felt very much like we were in a private space. The 'Cabin' was clean, the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of kitchen equipment for cooking if you need it. The 'Cabin' itself was comfortably furnished and lent itself to just 'hanging out' when we wanted to do that. 

We have stayed in many Airbnb locations in Austin over the years and this is definitely one that we will return to again. A very comfortable and easy stay."
2077867,22291095,2014-11-03,3742625,Audrius,"We stayed at Daniel's cabin for a few days and were impressed with the place. It's a separate building in a quiet neighborhood in northern part of Austin. Even if it appears to be further away from the downtown in Google Maps, we were able to fetch UberX in a few minutes and get to the famous 6th street in around 15 minutes!
The cabin itself is well furnished and has a cool bathroom skylight as well as a nice patio overlooking a big backyard.
It was also helpful that Daniel allowed us to arrive earlier than the actual check-in time. Thanks!
I hope I will visit Austin again - I will definitely check if the cabin is available!
"
2077867,22751755,2014-11-13,1298383,Brian,"The cabin was great! My family really enjoyed the fireplace and the backyard. It's great the cabin is centrally located as we spent time in North and South Austin during our trip. It was stocked nicely, very clean, and quiet. Will continue to recommend to my friends. "
2077867,23361940,2014-11-30,21149785,Shasha,"Daniel was a great host and responded to emails and calls quickly and with a lot of information. The house was easy to get to and clean and cute upon arrival. Also the heaters were a great touch and kept us toasty all night!

The only issue we had is that the mattress on the pull out couch was not usable as it was very old and you could feel the springs, so no one was able to sleep on it. 

It is a great cabin for 4 people to sleep in and very cute and rustic. 
"
2077867,25589591,2015-01-20,10646790,Eguonor,"Daniel and Selina were friendly and helpful, we had a wonderful stay at their cabin and it is a great location."
2077867,25768621,2015-01-25,15475826,Denise,"This place is awesome!  I'll try to describe why, but first I must share my favorite thing here: three tiny puppet portraits.  I love those little guys!

Two friends and I stayed here for a few days and it was so nice I was ready to move in. :)  Describing it won't really do it justice, and I think that's because of the overall feeling here.  It's very cozy - basically feels like home.

Check in was very smooth and upon arrival there was a binder with all necessary information.  The living room is super comfortable for just hanging out, and we especially appreciated using the fireplace at night!  There's also a front and back porch which are both really nice.  The back porch looks out over the large, lush backyard.  It felt like everywhere you look is either wood or green.  Very peaceful.

There are many nice things here -  plenty of natural light, full kitchen, extra large shower with skylight overhead, laundry just outside, and parking right next to the cabin.  Another reviewer mentioned difficulty backing down the driveway, but I was able to just turn my car around (I have a mid-sized car).  The weather was cold during our visit but the main heater along with extra quilts and blankets on hand were sufficient so I didn't need to use the space heater in my room.

Although the cabin is quiet and tucked away, it is very close to Burnet Road and North Loop so nearby there's plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and such.  It's a quick drive over to Hyde Park and to downtown only about 15 minutes (traffic willing).

My friend met Daniel for a few minutes to get help with a minor issue we had that was fixed immediately.  My communication with Daniel was solely through text messages to which he responded in a timely manner.  I did meet Selina briefly and thought she seemed nice.

Overall fantastic stay and I hope I'm able to visit again!"
2077867,26611246,2015-02-16,11538780,Paulette,Great quiet cottage. Very comfy beds. Nice sunny deck with my morning coffee and my dog. Highly recommend. Oh also great shower!
2077867,27055363,2015-02-24,11344508,Marilyn,"Daniel kept in contact with me via email and provided easy access to their little cabin.  We didn't get an opportunity to actually meet him, but we did feel welcome.  The cabin was even better than the description.  The photos didn't do it justice.  It was very comfortable.  Bigger than our daughter's apartment.  The only thing we didn't use was the fireplace.  Just ran out of time.    We had everything we needed and more to make our stay awesome.    "
2077867,27462525,2015-03-05,26437822,Lisa,"We stayed at Daniel's cabin for a week and it was a great experience. The house had everything we needed. It was so helpful to have access to a washer/dryer since we were traveling with our toddler. The location was great, very close to an awesome coffee shop and other restaurants. I highly recommend Daniel's property. I only needed to reach out to Daniel once and he responded immediately. Thank you, Daniel!"
2077867,28075261,2015-03-17,26528497,Richard,"Great, accurate, and not too far from Austin convention center."
2077867,28405635,2015-03-23,8576632,Nikki,"Amazing time at Daniel's residence! They were so sweet to our band who stayed there during our SXSW stay. Best Air bnb experience yet!

Thank you so much!"
2077867,29909038,2015-04-14,25948105,Damien,"Daniel's cabin was an ideal place to stay.  It's in a very quiet area that makes you feel more secluded than you are.  It's very easy to get around town and there are plenty of amenities nearby.
Daniel and his wife are very non-intrusive people and everything was very easily handled.  Absolutely no stress whatsoever.  If I was to come back to Austin I would not hesitate to rent this place again."
2077867,30441399,2015-04-22,26444296,Erika,House was great! Everything we needed. Great location! Thank you!
2077867,30862836,2015-04-28,12811291,Trish,"We really enjoyed staying at the Cabin in the City.  Our host was welcoming, but more importantly had anticipated guests' needs.  There was already kitchen and bath soap, so we didn't have to scramble and find a store! We also really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.  You could almost forget you were in a city.  And despite the spring heat wave, the ACs worked well to keep us cool.  I would recommend this spot for sure."
2077867,39474483,2015-07-24,25833642,Stephan,"Me, my wife and Kids lived in Daniel and Selinas House almost three months. The Location is great, only a couple minutes to the city center! The house has everything you need, and if you lack anything - Daniel and Selina were always there you help you out! Great Couple - we will miss them!"
2077867,41935177,2015-08-10,3803024,Petra,"This was exact ,what I´m looking for. I felt I´m coming home. A little bit used,personally and comfortable.The house was very clean.
Parking space directly in front
 Not far away from the convention center. My boys were on an convention. Perfect for 3 persons. Shopping mall and food store also near by.
I could really relax. I forgot sight seeing and prefer to sit on the terrace in the morning sun and later ,when it became to hot in the shadow.
Air condition works very well.
And the kitchen has all appliances you´ll need.
A very good place to stay."
2077867,48982249,2015-09-30,16885992,Emily,"We stayed in the Cabin in the City for over 6 weeks, while buying a house. It was perfect. The house is in an amazing part of Austin, with some of my favorite places to eat in very close walking distance. 
Daniel made us feel very welcome. The house was clean and cozy and stocked with basic pantry items, toiletries, cooking items, etc. 
The house has a really nice front porch and back porch - we were able to watch the lunar eclipse from the back porch. 
Wonderful stay. "
2077867,49609660,2015-10-05,37849722,Libby,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin. It was the perfect location to get to ACL. Daniel is a great host and responded quickly to any questions we had along the way. Great coffee place in walking distance! We loved that we could bring our dog- and that he had a fenced in back yard to run. Loved having a nice porch to sit and enjoy the evening. My son loved the cassette tapes and ""boom box"". We got a laugh out of that. :) It was a great weekend!"
2077867,50745997,2015-10-14,38289747,Jill,"La casa se encuentra en perfectas condiciones, cuenta con lo necesario para pasar unos días de vacaciones maravillosos. Muy cerca hay supermercados y farmacias al igual que paradas de autobuses 

El vecindario es bastante agradable y tranquilo. Nuestra experiencia ahí fue fantástica. Sin duda regresaremos "
2077867,51293507,2015-10-19,14356979,Leslie,"Enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood. Cabin was quaint and cozy and met our needs for four people and a small dog. We had large rental SUV but did not have any trouble with driveway, as others mentioned. "
2077867,51890932,2015-10-25,2134270,Madalynn,"This place was great! Cabin had everything we needed for a long weekend in Austin. Comfortable beds, brand new bathroom, cozy living room to relax with a movie at the end of the day. Daniel was easy to book with and very communicative. Would definitely stay here again. "
5571370,27635118,2015-03-08,28884186,Pavan,"We really enjoyed the hospitality offered by Jeff.  You can tell he puts a lot of thought and genuine care into making his guests feel comfort.  My friends and I were visiting Austin for the first time, and Jeff was such a good first impression of the city.  It made us excited to make a future trip down here, and I believe Jeff is a great representative for the famed Texas hospitality I have heard about."
5571370,27753564,2015-03-10,12553442,ChenHan,"This is our first time using Airbus to find the place to live. Once we arrived Austin we starts looking for place to stay, Jeff replay me very quick and polite, his roommates also very nice to us. Because Jeff is out of town so His roommate Michael take in charge to take care of us.
Jeff's room is nice and cozy, with big window and super comfort bed, and whole apt is really well decorate. If I will visiting Austin again the Jeff's room will be my first option。"
5571370,27825210,2015-03-12,27264775,Joanne,"This was my first stay with airbnb and we had such a great experience! It's conveniently located to a lot of sites we wanted to visit in Austin. It was nice coming back to a cozy home. 
Michael was our host, as Jeff was out of town, but nonetheless, he was wonderful. Very inviting and made sure we felt right at home. There was even an umbrella put out for us at the door in case it rained! The layout of the room is truly unique and definitely worth checking out! Thanks guys!"
5571370,28368994,2015-03-22,348592,Victoria,We loved staying here! They had great accommodations for us (which was 4 people) and everything was kept very clean. I believe Michael even came in and tidied up our things while we were gone out to sxsw! Brought us coffee and muffins every morning too. Very nice people and would totally stay here again. 
5571370,28834134,2015-03-30,14317918,Jan,"This place was exactly how it was advertised. The common space, though we didn't use it really, was nicely set up, outdoor space, and kitchen with everything you need if you're trying to save money by fixing some meals at home. The dog, Harry, greeted us warmly, even hid his bone under our bed. The breakfast was delivered to our room on a tray and contained: french press coffee, oj, pastry (i.e. muffins, donuts) and fruit. The room we stayed in was just like it said…Giant. There were three girls in our group and we had plenty of room to spread out our stuff. When we left the room from our private entrance, we would return to the bed being made, our clothes folded and chocolate on our pillows. Jeff was out of town, but Michael was there to see to our needs. He found something that had been left and offered to mail it back! "
5571370,29127471,2015-04-04,29539541,Erica,"Everything was just as I expected, plus more. Michael was such a generous host with his hospitality and care. He provided us snacks and breakfast, in addition to being a very considerate host. He was always very polite and had a smile on his face all the time. The accomodations were quite nice, especially for the price of the place. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's visiting Austin, because it's only a few minutes away from UT Austin and Downtown. (Especially ifyou're staying with a group of people because the room will definitely accomodate a good group of people!)"
5571370,29454036,2015-04-07,1890955,Kristina,"Very welcoming hosts! I was greeted by a glass of wine and a quick tour. Michael let me know he would drop off some coffee and breakfast outside my door in the morning, even though I had to wake up at 6! I slept soundly and the room was very comfortable. I could see how this would be a great place to stay for several days at a time, as there is a private entrance to the room and they even provided a card to the laundry."
5571370,29696740,2015-04-11,27010878,Isaiah,"Michael was our host since Jeff was out of town. There was a small hiccup with making contact with Michael when we arrived. We made a phone call to Jeff. He gave us the apt number and we were able to meet Michael there. Once contact was made, Michael was a very gracious host. He offered us drinks upon arrival, we had some interesting conversations and he made us a small and delicious breakfast in the morning. We met the other roommate in the morning and she was friendly as well. All the amenities were clean and well kept. Apartment had what I would describe as an Austin lifestyle vibe to it."
5571370,29792339,2015-04-12,10796154,Chris,"Wow! The apartment was amazing! Really spacious and we had a great welcome from Michael, Jeff's housemate who very generously managed to get us tickets for a comedy gig downtown! We had an amazing evening in Austin and the apartment was a short cab / Uber ride from the main areas. We'd definitely stay again!"
5571370,29899550,2015-04-13,30846176,Tom,"I had a great experience for my first time. Michael was so welcoming. He greeted me at the door and immediately told me to out my bags down, have a seat, and 'What can I get you to drink?' The room was very nice and I woke up with French-press coffee, juice, and biscuits waiting outside my door. He even called a cab for my 8:30 mtg. Hope to stay there again soon. "
5571370,30144078,2015-04-18,4046077,Anju,"Although we only stayed here one night, Michael was a very welcoming and great host. The room was comfy and spacious enough to fit four people. I would definitely stay here again!  "
5571370,30734211,2015-04-26,29271925,Fredrick,"Great stay, accommodating host and very friendly dog!"
5571370,31002777,2015-04-30,29861817,Maria,Michael was such a lovely thoughtful host and made delicious french press and breakfast!! I'd live there forever. :-)
5571370,31147016,2015-05-02,31995490,Dan,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and I hope they always go this well. I usually have a hard time sleeping in hotels but I slept like a baby here. Better energy. Jeff reached out right away after I booked, Michael took care of everything from there. Some things you might care about if you stay here: 1) Parking was as simple as pull up and park. Big plus. 2) The private entrance was nice because I didn't always know what time I'd be back in the evening. 3) Michael is awesome, and so is Harry. Michael does all the work, Harry just wags his tail, but that's one of the nicest, calmest dogs I've ever met. 4) The room has plenty of desk space, the wifi works, the neighborhood seems nice, and you're walking distance (2 blocks) from just about any kind of store. 5) I stayed Thursday and Friday nights, and it was quiet at night."
5571370,31489603,2015-05-05,29861817,Maria,Room/stay was so good- I fully endorse!
5571370,32818615,2015-05-22,28965795,Jonas,We did not get to meet Jeff but Michael was a great host. Had loads of things to tell and recommend and contributed to a great time in Austin.
5571370,33624004,2015-05-30,33994333,Amin,"Had a great stay. Host was very welcoming, summed up in day 1: my bags didn't arrive with me in Austin, so while I waited he took me out for dinner, after which we went to see Austin's famous bats, and then, at midnight when my bags finally arrived at the airport, we drove me there to collect!

Breakfasts everyday, and good company too. If you want a nice place to stay and to meet some interesting people too - this is the place to be!"
5571370,33889040,2015-06-01,26042493,Danny,"What a great place to stay to check out Austin. If you have your own transport and are looking for a HUGE room with great hosts an amenities, this is right up your alley. Jeff's roommate Michael was very accommodating and even hooked up morning breakfasts for my partner and I. The room itself is insanely big and has its own access which makes coming and going really easy. The dog is super sweet and puts a smile on your face whenever you come home. Cant recommend enough, thankyou!"
5571370,34099242,2015-06-04,25452933,Shaun,Jeff was clear and quick with communication and accommodating.
5571370,34184638,2015-06-05,34687476,Langlang,"We met Michael there. He is very nice. We arrived there late, he asked us whether need some specific food. In addition, the breakfast was very delicious. He also gives us a private space. "
5571370,34244703,2015-06-06,34376361,Kaila,"As soon as we arrived, he was there to show us around and seemed very interested in our adventure to Austin. Very nice room, and Harry the dog was a great bonus! Very sweet. "
5571370,34504798,2015-06-08,8264965,Mel,"I stayed with Michael (the others were out of town) for just two nights and I left wishing I could stay for longer. The apartment is exactly as described, there is a 24-hour supermarket around the corner, downtown Austin is a 10 minute taxi ride away, and the neighborhood felt very safe. Most importantly Michael was a fantastic host. He was very accomodating to my weird arrival/departure times, messaged back to emails almost instantly, made me a lovely little breakfast and I generally had a wonderful time chatting with him. "
5571370,36609207,2015-06-29,12238046,Bilal,"My friends and I stayed at Jeff's home for a reunion weekend we had in Austin -- and it was ideal for what we were looking for. Quiet, accessible location coupled with a warm home and lovely company by one of the housemates, Michael. To boot, the parking lot has a lot of room and the apartment is pretty much close to anywhere you would want to hang out in the city."
5571370,43936820,2015-08-23,16994434,Sabira,"It was Jeff's room that I stayed in, but his housemate Michael who took care of me as a guest. Michael is such a gentleman, very thoughtful host. He made delicious breakfasts for me every morning, was very polite and gave me lots of privacy. I also arrived at 2 am and he was very accommodating with that. The room is big and the bed is fairly comfy. I took uber to downtown every morning and it usually would take me 5-10 minutes to get there. Very convenient location. Overall, 10/10 for the host and the room!! I had great time there. "
8580206,49742630,2015-10-05,45512790,Matthew,Jewel was really easy going and the apartment was walking distance from zilker park.
8580206,52193175,2015-10-26,21807320,Anas,"Jewel made me feel at my home, she gave me the full access to everything in the apartment, she is excellent in communication, and we have met in person for 1 hour she is supportive and nice person. 
the place is a way from taxis, nevertheless you can use other taxi-live services, LYFT or UBER. "
8597001,49858361,2015-10-06,45380155,Jana,"I can't express my gratitude to find such a gem in the heart of Austin for the ACL Music Fest! Blake's home was much bigger than I thought it would be. Very clean as well. The photos do not do justice for the size of this place. Blake was very accommodating, and stayed in touch with me throughout our stay (as I had questions for him). I absolutely recommend this amazing home, and the owner. There really is no better location in Austin! Thank you, Blake!"

6661108,48519431,2015-09-27,1473947,Mitchell,"Our host, Rushel, was extremely courteous and understanding.  She had the house set-up immaculately upon our arrival.  I have to admit I had some reservations about the beds when I looked at them in the pictures.  However, the beds were surprisingly comfortable.  Everyone slept great.  We enjoyed all of the houses amenities: Big Screen TVs, pool table, foosball table, and yard games.  Overall, we had a fantastic stay and a wonderful host.  Would definitely stay there again."
6661108,49472677,2015-10-04,7053710,Kristen,"This was a great place to stay for our large group over a weekend! Rushel had the place all set up for us to stay, and even had some fruit and juice for us. The place is spacious (even with 12 of us!), and we were all able to have our own bed. Plenty of activities at the house - the hot tub, lawn games, and pool table were great for while we were hanging out.

Uber/Lyft were relatively cheap to get downtown. There isn't a ton to do right in the neighborhood, but you can get most places in 15 minutes by car. "
6661108,49708249,2015-10-05,2032796,Kam,The home was fantastic and well kept. We would definitely stay here again.

3790274,32636337,2015-05-19,26185941,Jenny,"We really enjoyed this house! The space was charming and quiet. The host was thoughtful to leave notes around for particular things we might need. The location was not walkable to very many places, but easy to bike/drive and get to all the spots we hoped to see.  All in all, the house made our weekend in Austin spectacular. We really appreciated being able to stay there and would love to stay there again next time."
3790274,33153365,2015-05-25,24698310,Katherine,"The 1944 East Side Bungalow was a great place to stay! It was exactly how it was described online. The home was on a nice street and not far from downtown. We really loved the screened in porch with the swing that was out front, that is a great touch to the house. Jeff's bathroom was very nice and was up to date, excellent shower head and water pressure! They left out towels and notes for us, that helped and we appreciated that. The AC worked great and we slept very well. This is a lovely home and I would recommend it to anyone. Jeff we appreciate you opening your home up to us, we would stay there again in a heartbeat! "
915150,4386938,2013-05-01,5377592,Karenjit,"We had a fantastic time here - a charming house with the most stunning decor located in the hippest part of town - easy walking distance to the best bars in Austin on East 6th street, such as Hotel Vegas. We couldn't have wished for a better experience. Ishrat is an amazing host who epitomises ""Southern Hospitality"".  We were lucky enough to hang out with some of her friends who are an equally cool, hip, creative bunch.  "
915150,4400916,2013-05-02,5377592,Karenjit,"Ishrat is the epitome of ""Southern Hospitality"". Her home is in the perfect spot for checking out some of the cooler bars on 6th Street such as Hotel Vegas. We never managed to make it down to any art galleries but at Ish's home it felt like we were staying at one. Her home is stunning and we were lucky enough to hang out with her at a Patti Smith gig where it seemed she knew half the crowd then carry on the party with her friends who were every bit as fun, friendly and creative as Ishrat. Had such an amazing stay here. If you are looking for a place in trendy East Austin then this really is a top spot with a top notch host"
915150,9181023,2013-12-11,9032586,Mei Ling,"Ish's place is hands down the best place to stay in Austin. It is in the perfect location, just a short walk from all the live music venues, restaurants and bars in the East 6th or East 11th districts.. Her house is beautiful, spotless and decorated with paintings from local artists. I stayed in the house with another friend, and we each had our own bedroom and bathroom! Totally luxury. It has all the amenities you need and Ish even stocked the fridge with drinks and beer.. and to top it off, made us cookies for our arrival!!!

Ish is a great host - she sent us detailed tips beforehand on where to visit and eat/drink during our stay. She would even invite us to local parties and gigs, but at the same time she was very mindful of our privacy. We clicked with Ish as soon as we met her, so took up her offer to show us around Austin - she took us to local art fairs and we had a wonderful final night out in Austin with Ish and her friends.

Everything ran very smoothly - Ish gave us multiple cell phone numbers to make sure that the meet up would go well. She was waiting at the house on our arrival and gave us 2 sets of keys… the house even has an alarm system so super safe.

We will definitely be back to Austin.. and when we do we hope that Ish's place will be available! It really made a difference to our trip!

915150,10385243,2014-02-17,11050002,Aly,"This place was fantastic! It was in a great location in East Austin, close enough to great restaurants and bars. The house itself is super cute, plenty of room for our girls weekend. The kitchen was open to the living room/dining room which was perfect for what we needed! I definitely recommend staying here for anyone that has a group. There was even a great backyard that I wish we would of had time to take advantage of."
915150,13076548,2014-05-19,5821812,Taylor,"Highly recommend!   Great eastside Austin location for food, bars, good vibes -- lot of choices are walkable.   House is plenty big for 4-5 people.   And I love Ishi's decor!"
915150,50471531,2015-10-12,16549201,Scott,"Ishrat's home was the perfect HQ for our long weekend in Austin.  The location was very convenient and the house was perfectly neat and tidy.  Ishrat was a fantastic host, greeting us at arrival, providing us with some restaurant recommendations and even stocking the fridge with beer!  I would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay during a visit to Austin."
2926708,14965629,2014-06-30,15225239,Bethany,"My group of 12 had a great time staying in the house and cottage! The property was beautiful and it was easy to access downtown! Crystal was great and made wonderful suggestions for restaurants, shopping, etc! "
2926708,18170748,2014-08-23,9131801,Tiffany,"The house and cottage were the perfect combo when me and my team of 4 other coworkers had a week long training in Austin.  We had 2 in the cottage and the other 3 in the house, and it was WAY better than staying at a hotel.  Both places were super clean and spacious.  It was really sweet to come in and have a personalized welcome note!!  Crystal made awesome recommendations based on my questions (Veracruz Naturals definitely won our fish taco challenge - they were AMAZING!).  Crystal was very responsive and easy to get in touch with .  The location was perfect - walking distance to a ton of cool places, and a super sweet bar just around the corner (Weather Up).  We were surprised to see beers in the fridge;  we left some goodies for the next visitors too.  Staying here made our work trip a lot more fun!  It was great to experience Austin like this, in a neighborhood, rather than in a hotel in the city."
2926708,19511914,2014-09-14,6815830,Peter,"Spacious, modern home. Big comfortable beds. Great location. And gracious hosts who left the place stocked with some food, drinks, and recommendations to explore town. Thanks, Crystal! "
2926708,20361654,2014-09-28,20868173,James,Great house. Modern and clean. Perfect walking distance to Rainey St and 6th St. Fully stocked with towels and other toiletries. Plus plus would rent again.
2926708,21574465,2014-10-20,14415516,Jason,"Both the craftsman and cottage are terrific, recently renovated and in a cool spot in East Austin.  Lots of good bars around, great BBQ at Kerlin and tacos at Veracruz.  Ten minutes to downtown via Uber but walkable to many fun places.  Crystal left us personalized recommendations along with beer, liquor and snacks left by prior visitors.  Highly recommended for a stay off the beaten path but still close to the action."
2926708,24052310,2014-12-18,6873968,Lauren,"such a lovely home, beautiful natural light, exceptionally clean, and tons of amenities. never before have I seen more perks in an airbnb home! the whole group kept saying how much they loved the place--that they wanted to move right in. it seriously is a darling home. and Crystal is just as sweet and helpful as can be. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. "
2926708,24157389,2014-12-21,24585454,Erik,"We had an excellent experience and would absolutely stay here again, given the chance.  The place is in superb condition, was immaculately clean and fit all 8 of us comfortably.  It is also in a good location within an easy Uber ride from anywhere you want to be in or near downtown.  Crystal was super responsive and like the other reviewers mentioned, left a few craft brews in the fridge for us!  Overall an excellent experience and I would highly recommend it to a group of friends or a family.  Thanks Crystal!"
2926708,25307377,2015-01-12,18576292,Jennifer,"We had an amazing stay. We loved the house and cottage combo - both spaces were exactly as pictured if not better. Very new and very clean property. Everything  was also fully stocked. Even though it was freezing when we visited, it was always very warm and cozy inside. It really felt like home. Crystal was very accommodating and made our check in and check out process simple and quick with clear instructions. It was our first time in Austin and everything we wanted to go to was conveniently 5-15 mins away from us so we were in a great location. I would definitely stay here again! :)"
2926708,26041945,2015-02-02,854759,Carlee,"Gorgeous home with loads of space.  And tons of great recommendations from our accommodating hostess -- we felt like locals!  Loved the house, the neighborhood, all of it.  Hope to be back soon.  Thanks, Crystal!"
2926708,26903304,2015-02-22,5560824,Amanda,"The house and cottage were PERFECT for our bachelorette party. Everything was clean and we were greeted with booze, beer and snacks as well as a book chock full of excellent recommendations. It is located in what I would assume is an up and coming, hip neighborhood. Convenient to everything we wanted to do (Hope Gallery Graffiti Park, Rainey St bar crawl, etc) and on top of that beautifully decorated and comfortable. Right down to the robes! I would recommend staying here and everyone in the group said they wanted to come back and stay here again. Thanks Crystal for an amazing experience!  "
2926708,27264774,2015-03-01,26504680,Jennifer,"Crystal's home was perfect!  Everything was just as described and she made sure to make our stay as pleasant as possible.  We rented the Main House and Cottage, which slept 11 girls comfortably.  The location was so close to town, which was very convenient to go out to dinner and hit up some of the cool Austin bars.  I would highly recommend this house!  "
2926708,28515843,2015-03-25,7562151,Hanna,"Our group of 9 came from France and had a great time staying in the house and cottage! 
Both spaces were amazing, exactly as pictured, if not better. 
Modern, spacious, and super clean. It fit all of us comfortably. 
The location was great too - walking distance to a ton of cool places, and easy to access downtown. 
Crystal was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. She was very accommodating and made our check in and check out process simple and quick with clear instructions. 
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to a group of friends or a family."
2926708,29251002,2015-04-06,7040984,Darby,"We rented out both the main house and cottage for a bachelorette party with 10 ladies and absolutely LOVED the place!  The house is clean and well appointed.  I felt like it had everything we needed!  The living room and kitchen are a great size, so we were able to comfortably fit the group in either spot.  The location was great too.  We were right next to many bars and restaurants, but the noise didn't bother us at night.  Also, we met Crystal the day we checked in and she was very pleasant and helpful.  She was flexible with us regarding check in and check out times, which was much appreciated.  I would suggest this place to others or rent it again in a heartbeat!  "
2926708,30316175,2015-04-20,29686755,Thomas,The house was very spacious and clean. Great place for a group to lounge out and have fun.
2926708,30659913,2015-04-26,12317240,Minnie,"Amazing! My girlfriends and I had an awesome time in Austin staying at the house. The house + cottage were clean and well stocked with essentials. We felt like we were staying at a boutique hotel! 
We also loved the neighborhood -full of cute boutiques, eateries and hip lounges. Crystal was prompt with communication and superb with hospitality. Highly recommended! "
2926708,31164827,2015-05-03,26307004,Brittany,"My friends and I rented both the main house and cottage for a bachelorette weekend. Ten of us easily fit. Pictures do not do justice to how spacious the house is! Absolutely everything we could have needed was provided (extra linens and towels, fully equipped kitchen, etc) and Crystal was extremely friendly, accommodating and reachable. The location was within 15 minutes of everywhere we wanted to go (restaurants, Barton Springs, the airport). Highly recommend this place! "
2926708,33058947,2015-05-25,10714043,Lisa,"Wonderful stay! Crystal's home and cottage are in a great location, were clean and well stocked, and she was accessible and open to our needs.  I would definitely stay here again, and am grateful we chose her listing."
2926708,37950228,2015-07-12,5575901,Melissa,"My experience at the Craftsman + Cottage in East Austin could not have been better!!  We very comfortably slept 12 girls for a bachelorette weekend and had everything we needed.  The place was huge and had plenty of bedding, towels, and dishes to accommodate us.  It was super clean and easy to check in and out.  Crystal was very helpful and understanding of our needs.  I highly recommend this place!"
2926708,38816435,2015-07-19,9929297,Amy,"We came to Austin, TX for a bachelorette party. We had 12 girls and this house was absolutely perfect. Every aspect exceeded our expectations. There were enough beds for all of us to sleep extremely comfortably and tons of bathroom space to get ready. The house was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was very safe and a quick (and inexpensive) uber ride to anywhere in the city that you could want to go. Cuvee Coffee is right down the street and we highly recommend for a funky coffee shop! The back deck is shaded and a fun place to hang out in the night when it is cooler, the kitchen provided plenty of space for us to have our meals and to hang out. Krystal was a wonderful host and made sure that we were taken care of. If you are going to Austin with a crew, you would be silly not to stay here :)
"
2926708,39734462,2015-07-26,22462445,Arnab,"We had a great time at the Craftsman + Cottage! Crystal was a great host and made sure we had everything set up for our 10 person bachelor party. She was very timely in her responses and provided a great clean, spacious and modern house and cottage that we all enjoyed. The location is great and a cheap uber ride to downtown or other cool locations, and is within walking distance of a lot of great food trucks (Veracruz tacos and La BBQ!). I would strongly recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin."
2926708,42821536,2015-08-16,4308009,Jessica,"What a beautiful space! I booked Crystal's house (the main house and cottage) for my friend's bachelorette party. We ended up with less people than originally anticipated (there were 9 of us), so we had more than enough room. Crystal was SO easy to communicate with, and provided recommendations specific to what we were doing that weekend. I asked her to suggest bars good for dancing, and she gave plenty of fun options. We also greatly appreciated that the house came stocked with wine, beer, coffee and tea. 

It was very conveniently located - an easy 5-10 minute Uber ride to 6th Street and downtown. It was nice to stay in a calmer neighborhood but still be able to get to the action easily.

One of the girls accidentally locked us out of the cottage (all the doors operate with a code, and she locked a bottom lock), and Crystal responded immediately and helped us get back in with a spare key. Crisis averted!

Overall, this is a perfect space for a bachelorette or bachelor party, or any large group. We had an amazing time in Austin, due in large part to our stay at Crystal's. I definitely recommend staying here!"
2926708,44094297,2015-08-24,8094014,Jamie,"Crystal's place was pretty amazing.  We rented both the main house and the cottage out back, and that was plenty of room for a large party.  Both have every amenity a guest would ever need: washer, dryer, TV, wifi, drinks, AC, etc. etc.  Crystal also took a lot of care with detailed check-in instructions and recommendations for things to do."
2926708,47607685,2015-09-21,1005814,Bryan,"We rented Crystal's house + cottage for a football weekend.  She was a fantastic host - very accommodating, quick responses & clear communication, and the house had wonderful little touches to make us feel welcome.  

Also I felt like this was the rare airbnb place where the space (especially the living room + kitchen in the main house) felt bigger than the pictures!  Very comfortable for our group of 10+1 baby...

Thanks Crystal!"
2926708,48494279,2015-09-27,29632531,Joshua,"Crystal was nothing short of a godsend in terms of helping us coordinate and set up a long weekend in Austin. 10 of us were able to fit comfortably in the main house and cottage apartment for three days, and we were made to feel welcome from the second we walked in the door. All house glassware and cutlery were clean and ready for use, and there was no shortage of plastic cups or dishware. The welcome packet was incredibly helpful and useful, and everyone had a truly amazing time. Plain and simple, I cannot overstate Crystal's ability to accommodate and make us feel welcome. Thanks so much!"
2926708,49970071,2015-10-08,33081577,Melissa,"Came with a group of five for a work conference. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the house. We found it in great condition with plenty of room to spread out, have our own space, work, relax, etc. Had all the amenities we needed (and then some). We also enjoyed the neighborhood; it's a bit outside the central downtown area (still walkable though, maybe a mile and a half from downtown?) which allowed us to explore a part of Austin that we probably would not have ventured to otherwise. Highly recommend this place for a family or group."
2926708,50264875,2015-10-11,3894602,Caroline,"We had a wonderful stay at the craftsman and cottage!  Crystal was easy to communicate with in advance of our stay and always promptly responded to any questions.  She left a very thoughtful welcome note with excellent recommendations.  

The house was perfect for us!  It had everything we needed and was in a GREAT location.  Lots of things to walk to and a short cab from everything else.  I would definitely recommend staying here!"
2926708,51260691,2015-10-19,28100510,Randy," Our host, Crystal was very responsive in communicating with us and was very helpful and accommodating to make our stay great! The house and apartment over the garage are beautifully furnished, the room sizes are perfect, great kitchen to cook and entertain, comfortable beds, lots of space for a large group to gather. Front and back porches to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. All the comforts of a 5 star hotel with so many extras.  The location was fantastic and perfect for our stay.  We highly recommend this home and/or apartment over the garage! We look forward to returning someday."
2926708,52669912,2015-11-01,1338122,Genessee,"Staying at the craftsman+cottage was absolutely perfect! The accommodations were comfortable, clean, stylishly designed, and well located. We absolutely loved the back patio on the main house! This place has an open feel with tall ceilings and it is even bigger than it looks in pictures. 

As wonderful as the house was, the best part of our experience was working with Crystal. She was responsive, welcoming, friendly, and flexible. She went out of her way to arrange arrival/departure times that were convenient for us. Thank you for making our stay so easy, fun and comfortable! "
5031470,28166925,2015-03-19,11983494,Albert,"This was a great place, very clean and close to downtown (10 mins away). The host was very responsive and friendly! We had a good time and really enjoyed our stay."
5031470,33188463,2015-05-25,21021505,Sylvia,Maria was a wonderful host.  Maria came through when our original host (James) flaked on us with only 24 hours notice. We had the reservation with James made for almost a year and he waited 24 hours before we arrived to cancel on us but that is another story and I want to take this space to brag on Maria. Maria had fresh fruit and new linens throughout the house which made us feel very welcome.  She was there when we arrived and took her time explaining the house rules and security system she also left us her number in case we had questions regarding the house which we did and every time we text or called she or her husband were quick to respond with accurate information. The outside patio and barbecue area was beautifully landscaped and very relaxing.  The whole house was very inviting.  I would definitely stay there again.
5031470,49765445,2015-10-06,3388173,David,Joe and Maria were very welcoming when we first got there! They were so nice and sweet and made sure the house was very clean and tidy before they left. They were so nice and left us a delicious bowl of fruit and some waters before they left. The house was beautiful and it was so spacious! I can't wait to come back and stay again after they finish up their upgrades!
5031470,50626275,2015-10-13,5570837,Chris,"Maria (aka Coco) was a delightful host.  The house is beautiful and in a great location.  We had 8 people all staying comfortably together (you could actually sleep 9 depending on circumstances) and everything was super clean.  The super spacious kitchen was easy to cook in and the beds were comfy.  

5 min Uber ride to the ACL festival that we were attending.

Highly recommended!!!"
5134485,26077115,2015-02-02,1766312,Casey,"Rey was an amazing host and the apt was fantastic! I arrived way later than expected and Rey was so relaxed & cool about getting me in at 10 pm on a Fri night. The apt couldn't have been in a better spot. 6 (or more) great East Austin bars, a ton of food trucks, good coffee, a short walk to downtown, easy access to the wonderful trail around Town Lake. I had a wonderful trip and this apt was one of the reasons. After I checked out, Rey even let me keep my car parked in his spot while I waited in line at Franklin BBQ. I wouldn't say anywhere else in Austin!"
5134485,26268424,2015-02-08,20439734,Sarah,"This apartment is in a good location on the east side of Austin within walking distance of bars, food trucks and coffee shops. Rey met me as soon as I arrived in Austin to let me into the place. The apartment is spacious and definitely is suitable for a group or longer stay. The bed was comfortable and the place was clean. I think that the best part of my stay, however, was the location. Getting around the city only required short Uber rides for less than $10. Many great spots are within walking distance. I would recommend this airbnb and will keep it in mind for my next trip to Austin!"
5134485,26544156,2015-02-15,5775441,Emily,"Had a great time, Rey's place is great and jn the perfect location! He was very nice and communicative. Highly recommend. "
5134485,26926961,2015-02-22,14544193,David,"This is a great little apartment on the east side of Austin. The bed is comfortable and everything was very clean. The location is safe, and walkable to many restaurants, food trucks, as well as some of Austin's best bars. Because it's located right in the heart of things it can be a bit noisy at night but nothing that a pair of good plugs can't fix if you're a light sleeper.  It is also an easy walk to the downtown area, 6th St etc. if you're so inclined.  There is a mini grocery store a block down to get light provisions. The listing says sleeps five and I would say that is accurate. Besides the one bedroom there is another separate room (with no door) with a comfy couch and then another coach in the very large kitchen-living area. The bathroom is small but adequate. Rey the host runs the yoga studio attached to the apartment and was very friendly and accommodating. All in all I would recommend this flat especially if you are looking to really experience the Austin nightlife."
5134485,27541513,2015-03-07,3502299,Craig,"Rey's place was indeed cozy, clean and spacious. Rey himself was super nice, aways available and very friendly. 

The apartment is right in the middle of my favorite Austin neighborhood, bustling with happy people going to loads of incredible food trucks, bars and restaurants just steps away.  

Rey's yoga studio is next door too, and a mighty fine place to visit while in town."
5134485,27594270,2015-03-08,13000318,Caleb,"I loved the neighborhood and enjoyed the trip. The apartment was comfortable and in a great location, but my wife was a little put off by the bathroom (it was on the old side and the shower could have been cleaner). So, if you are looking for a comfortable bed for a reasonable price close to downtown, this is a great place; but if you want to stay in a fancy or immaculately new and clean place, you may want to keep looking."
5134485,27802114,2015-03-12,18225816,Jason,"I had a great stay at Rey's apartment during a business trip to Austin. The place is in a fantastic location with lots of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a market nearby. It's only a few blocks from the city center too. The apartment has everything you need and nothing you don't - super simple for when you just need a place to crash. Rey was super responsive by text, email, and in-person. I'll definitely look up Rey's place for my next trip to Austin."
5134485,27946514,2015-03-15,3969705,Vidya,Rey's place is in a great spot - a very convenient 5-10 minute to walk to downtown.  He was also really responsive and wanted to make sure I had a good stay in his place.  The place itself was clean and comfortable for my weekend trip.
5134485,28259888,2015-03-21,12875346,Jessica,"Great spot to check out Austin. Right in the thick of it on E. 6th. Walkable to everything, food truck park across the street a huge plus!  Very comfortable, would be wonderful for a couple visiting in town. "
5134485,28651779,2015-03-28,27165574,Christine,"Rey was an excellent host! He met you when you arrived and was available for references about Austin. He made sure you were well received and all amenities are included with the place (clean linens, towels, full kitchen). There is even a parking spot (the place is within 20 mins of the airport so a taxi would be okay, plus you can walk to all areas you would need)! The description is very accurate - Cute cozy apartment within walking distance of so many shops, bars, and the beautiful downtown scene. Felt very safe in the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
5134485,28807239,2015-03-30,28499155,Whitney,"We had some timing issues at the beginning of our trip. A previous renter was staying an extra night when we were supposed to already be there. However Rey found us alternate arrangements and didn't charge us for that first night. He was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed and giving us suggestions of where to go. The location was awesome too, very central to lots of different downtown neighborhoods. We would definitely stay here again, Rey made the effort to be a good host! "
5134485,28960319,2015-04-01,12353058,Daniel,"Can't beat the location -- easy to roll out of bed and walk to great coffee, great food trucks, you name it.  The apartment was roomier than I could believe, though it is a lot darker than it looks in the picture."
5134485,29170204,2015-04-05,5321216,Ellen,"We had a great stay! The apartment was larger than I expected, met all of our needs, and was very comfortable. The location was excellent. We didn't have a car and were able to easily walk to lots of great spots in East Austin and downtown. Stacie was very accommodating, responded quickly to questions, and had some great suggestions for the area. "
5134485,29375986,2015-04-06,917012,Andrew,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5134485,29602938,2015-04-10,3696116,Jeff,"Stacie was incredibly nice and responsive. The location and value of this apartment couldn't be better. 

A couple of friends and I were coming into town for a wedding. We really just needed the apartment to crash in for one night after flying in at a pretty late hour and it fit our needs perfectly. Check-in was simple and couldn't be smoother. We were even running late at check-out and Stacie was extremely understanding and considerate. I would definitely stay here on my next trip back to Austin."
5134485,29826002,2015-04-13,10955676,Meaghann,"Perfect location, awesome yoga studio and great host! "
5134485,30032158,2015-04-16,27758300,Jy,"Stacie was friendly, helpful and lovely from the second I requested to book! I had to amend my dates, and she was a complete sweetheart about it too. 

The apartment was gorgeous. Stacie gave perfect directions to find it, and the inside was just what I needed to both visit friends + enjoy Austin, but also come back and get work done at night. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

Also, guys - the apartment is located near several great locations in East Austin, including a cute grocer! Very handy at the end of the day. "
5134485,30345624,2015-04-20,13871464,Lindsey,Location was central to both east Austin and downtown and made exploring on foot easy. Short uber rides to anywhere else you would want to go. Couldn't have asked for a better location. Apartment was very large for a 1 bedroom. Plenty of space. Check-in was quick and easy. Fantastic value for the location and size. Only gripe is that it could've been a bit cleaner.
5134485,30893812,2015-04-28,28585560,Timothy,"Great for the intrepid traveler. The apartment itself is clean, practical with no particular charm in the conventional sense. It's in an alley behind a commercial building but feels safer than it looks.  It's in a fun, hip neighborhood on the upcoming end of 6th street. Walking distance to the main drag but the local bars and restaurants right outside the door are much more fun. A Quintessential Austin experience for the right traveler. This would be a great center of operations for SxSW. "
5134485,31186144,2015-05-03,27709749,Mariha,Stacie's place was great and super cute and cozy. It is ideal for anyone whose going to be running around Austin. It has all the basics. The neighborhood us adorable and the bar accross the street has amazing cocktails and food. I would recommend this spot to anyone who is going to run around Austin for a few days.
5134485,31765960,2015-05-10,1801563,Rhine,"Very easy check-in/out process and Stacie was very patient when my friend and I were having a little trouble finding the keys. The apartment is spacious and cozy with all the amenities you need, and the location is very convenient - a short drive/walk to anywhere in town. For future Austin Psych Fest goers, the festival shuttle stops right around the corner from this apartment (although we didn't use the shuttle). Ample parking on the street. Stacie was also accommodating to let us extend the check-out time by a few hours. Overall very enjoyable stay"
5134485,35495828,2015-06-19,8657620,Andres,"Stacie was good at following up before, during and after my trip. The description is exactly on point, its a pretty decent size studio apartment. Provides all of the basic needs for your stay in Austin. Across the street there are some pretty good food trucks and local nightlife. Walking distance to downtown and the convention center. "
5134485,35861740,2015-06-22,8246027,Collin,"The apartment is perfectly quaint.  It sleeps 3 or 4 comfortably, has 2 air conditioning units to keep cool in the summer, and is located in the heart of east 6th.  The location makes it awesome.  Highly recommend staying in this district. 

The host, Stacie, is very friendly and easy to work with."
5134485,36225822,2015-06-26,20903183,Mick,"Within walking distance to the goings-on of Downtown Austin and my office, which is all I was really looking (website hidden) kept the place pretty cool while during a muggy week, and there was a full kitchen. I'd stay here again, if available."
5134485,36425113,2015-06-28,521909,Cheyenne,"Awesome location, close enough to everything we needed. Everything was great, thank you!"
5134485,37190009,2015-07-05,24021439,Gabrielle,Great location! Right in the middle of the east side action. Stacie was very helpful and even let me check in early. I would definitely stay here again!
5134485,37818883,2015-07-10,3787629,Brittany,"Thank you Stacie! We enjoyed the apt :) It was exactly what we needed... clean, cozy, and convenient! "
5134485,38197235,2015-07-13,37250909,Jason,"Loved the apartment, loved the city. The location was awesome,  and Stacie was a great host. Great first BNB experience."
5134485,38739326,2015-07-18,2052069,Bethany,"This was a great place to stay. I slept comfortably, and the apartment offered all the necessities, including a/c and ceiling fans for hot summer days. I especially loved the location, which was within walking distance of almost everywhere I needed to go. 

I had some issues getting checked-in, but Stacie was incredibly helpful and responsive to my questions before, during, and after my stay. I'd definitely come back."
5134485,38945848,2015-07-19,31180336,Sarah,What a great location! Only blocks away from 6th street (a $5 Uber ride)  and a block or two away from a bunch of food trucks where you can grab a bite before going out. The space was very clean and the pictures true to life. We didn't meet Stacie but she was quick to call me back when we had some initial confusion getting into the apartment. Both the bed and couches were comfy. Apt could fit 4 people comfortably.  
5134485,39292615,2015-07-22,4675962,Arnaldo,"Stacie's apartment is actually bigger than described, and perfectly located: it is located on E 6th st which is the perfect spot for bar and cool restaurants. Nonetheless, the apartment is very quiet, as it is not on the main street. The check-in / check-out was also very easy. Absolutely worth it!"
5134485,40607805,2015-08-01,36090387,Maki,"Great location and everything as described. We had a nice stay, thanks!"
5134485,40810646,2015-08-02,11488184,Jade,"Great location! However, there was only paid parking in the area. The place was as expected and comfortable for our stay."
5134485,41775073,2015-08-09,792329,Mary,"Stacie was very kind and relatively easy to contact. My group had trouble finding the key to get in at first, but once we figured it out everything was good. The place was large and in a very convenient location. Parking is on the street, and you do need to pay during the weekends. Overall a good experience."
5134485,42724257,2015-08-15,3555719,Elliott,"Stacie was great at making me feel welcome in her nice flat and would also check in to make sure I had everything I needed or if I had run out of anything, so she was super conscientious which was really nice.
The flat was really cool and perfect, and actually quite a good large space.
The best part was the really cool neighbourhood that it was in on the east side of Austin, and just a short walk away from some gorgeous restaurants, cafes and bars. 
I had a great stay and would highly recommend"
5134485,42917814,2015-08-16,39383528,Phylicia,The house was very cute and in a good location. :) and Stacie was very helpful whenever I had questions. I'll definitely stay back at her place the next time I come back!
5134485,43471310,2015-08-19,9297841,Devin,The host canceled this reservation 207 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5134485,44148624,2015-08-24,25720910,McKenna,"Stacie was very accommodating, easy to get ahold of, and quick to respond. The location was perfect - a very close walk to east 6th and about a 10 minute walk from dirty 6th. 

There is one bed room, only one real  bed. And two couches - one of which pulls out and makes a semi-comfortable makeshift bed in the kitchen.  There are 2 air conditioning units but neither of them work very well.  Stacie was very quick to respond when one of them stopped working alltogether (the Austin heat is hot hot hot!).  Luckily we didn't spend too much time in the apartment during our stay.  The water pressure is nonexistent and the coffee maker didn't work. However, the kitchen is equipped with some of the sharpest knives that we used every morning to make breakfast! 

Overall, I enjoyed my stay very much. Stacie gave great instructions on entering and exiting the building, and again the location was perfect. She was flexible and accommodating and gave us all the privacy in the world.  "
5134485,46148778,2015-09-08,21403378,Alyssa,"Stacie was a very nice host and the apartment is in a great area in Austin. The only issues we ran into was a lack of running water one morning (which Stacie immediately helped us resolve), no central air conditioning (which made the nights very hot), and only one set of blankets for the bed and other sleeping areas, even though the listing says it sleeps 4. We still had a great time in her apartment, especially because of the awesome location."
5134485,46845496,2015-09-13,28883035,Joseph,"Stacie was very accommodating and flexible to my travel schedule! She was able to clean the apartment and have it ready before  the normal check-in time, which was awesome. She also replied promptly when I was checking-in, as I was confused on where to obtain the key. She helped greatly and I would definitely stay at the apartment again! This was my first time using AirBnB and I'm glad it worked out so well. The only minor issue was that the shower had low water pressure. "
5134485,51119513,2015-10-18,34318314,Anna,"Very cute and sweet little apartment in a great part of town with easy access to rental bikes and downtown.  We had a blast getting to know Austin, the town and this little place to stay are definitely recommended."
2420341,13641753,2014-06-01,14843391,Leo,"A very nice big new house! Quiet and nice neighborhood! Host is also super nice! and I love his cute dog!
I had a great visit in Austin for the first time! Hope to revisit in the future! Thanks very much for Preston's hospitality!"
2420341,13931424,2014-06-08,16028784,Jarett,"Preston was an excellent host. His place is near everything important, including downtown Austin and UT @ Austin. If you're planning a trip to Austin for any reason I highly recommend you stay with Preston!"
2101788,10919653,2014-03-13,4629413,David,Great and quiet place for SXSW!. Close to the events.
2101788,20465560,2014-09-29,7466283,Robby,"I'm not sure what they use to wash the towels, but it's seriously incredible.  This place is in an amazing location to experience the best of Austin.  Me and my 4 friends were very comfortable, and found the place clean an orderly.  The coffee in the fridge was nice bonus!

Erica was very responsive to my questions and easy to book with."
2101788,21637296,2014-10-20,11177285,Liviana,"The house was nice and clean. I would say the best part of it is the porch. Location is great, very centric and convenient. You're like 10 min walking distance from the lake and south congress. I would definitely recommend for anybody to stay here. Description and price range are also very accurate. 
Thanks! "

2101788,30448497,2015-04-22,28356209,Samuel,"Great place. Great location, easy to access. We were able to walk to everywhere we needed to go. The deck and back yard are excellent. There were 4 beds available, not including the sofa (1 cot). None where particularly private. Three of them are in the great room with only curtains separating them. The final is in a separate room, but this also has no door, just a curtain. This suited our needs just fine, but may not be fore everyone.

The management seemed attentive and kept us informed via email throughout the process"
2101788,32613673,2015-05-19,28979946,Ryan,Place was great and clean.  Great location.  They have the automated bike rentals near by which we loved.  Uber to Rainey St was only $10.  Great stay.
2101788,33814466,2015-06-01,1599232,Greg,"Great neighborhood and the location made it easy to get to everywhere in town. Big backyard to relax, grill and have dinner on the big deck.

Bathroom is quite outdated and not in a trendy midcentury modern style, just outdated. My buddies and I were fine with it, but my wife would not have enjoyed it.  "
1535250,7172465,2013-09-09,8255990,John,"Great little spot in a quiet location, other than the minor inconvenience of the location of the laundry facilities it was perfect. "
1535250,7885040,2013-10-07,7655864,Craig,"Spacious, quiet, and a great deal. Hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. About a 10 minute drive to downtown, but lots of great food and bars in the area and nearby Hyde Park. Would recommend for those who want to be close to the city, but in a quiet, comfortable area."
1535250,9304736,2013-12-20,8786929,Kamen,"Natalya was a great host. Stayed in the apartment for two months with a friend and it was a fantastic overall experience. Cute neighborhood, a lot of good places to grab a bite. Would go back in a heartbeat."
1535250,9537619,2014-01-02,2648095,Linda,"We enjoyed our stay at Natalya's ""cute apartment in central Austin.""  We had a delightful conversation with her at our arrival, which was on Christmas night (no problem for her to meet us at that time).  The apartment is located next door to the wonderful Monkey's Nest coffee place, which became a favorite.  The neighborhood is filled with shops and restaurants and, for us, was close-by to our family which was the main selling point when we made the booking.  The apartment has all of the kitchen supplies one would need.  The place is quiet.  We would definitely stay there again on our next family visit.  Special note:  the DVD of the classic 1957 Russian film, The Cranes Are Flying, should not be missed."
1535250,11824615,2014-04-16,7307365,Jerry,"I stayed here for three months while guest teaching at UT for a semester. This place was nearly ideal, given its central location and proximity to just about anything you might need for a longer term stay. There's an HEB nearby, as well as several nice gyms (I used Fitness 360 at the Triangle) and an abundance of cool, very Austin hangouts like Ginny's Longhorn Saloon, Lucy's Fried Chicken, and Roll On Sushi.

Natalya also offers cleaning and laundry services (no washer/dryer in the apartment) which I gladly took advantage of!

Also, Natalya was flexible and accommodating when I had to move in a few days early, and also when I changed my booking to leave two weeks earlier than planned."
1535250,12287060,2014-04-28,3185701,Lynda M,I had a great time in Austin and the weather was warm and sunny.  The apartment fit my needs perfectly and the host was helpful.  
1535250,18743985,2014-08-31,4179963,Diane,"Oh my, sure did not want to leave Austin and head back to Houston!  Love this town and all the nature it has to offer.

Natalya's ""Cute Apartment"" was just that.  It is located in cool part of town and convenient to an HEB, neat little shops, clubs and the freeways.  It reminded of a little garage apartment that I lived in years ago in Galveston.  It was perfect for my adult son and my needs for our 3 day stay.  Of course, I got the bedroom and he slept on the futon couch (LOL) which he said was quite comfortable!  The apartment was located right behind her spa and was very private, clean and well equipped for sleeping, just relaxing watching TV after a long day exploring Austin's natural wonders and cooking (which we prepared breakfast twice and 1 nice dinner the last night).  The apartment had all the cooking pots, pan & utensils we needed.

So sorry that I did not get to meet Natalya because she was out of town.  Her assistant, Lizzie greeted us upon arrival and was a very courteous and pleasant young lady.

I felt very safe in the neighborhood and will definitely stay again by myself or with one other person.

Thank you Natalya,
Smiles around you and yours,

Diane Patin"
1535250,19574701,2014-09-14,9013446,Cindy,"Natalya was great. She was available when needed and not overbearing. The house is in a great location North of town. Walkable to many cute shops and eateries. The house was clean and provided all the basics. Plenty of towels, blankets, etc."
1535250,20598418,2014-10-02,6569333,Lyne,"The apartment is indeed very cute and comfortable,  and the neighborhood, friendly and full of bakeries, coffeeshops and restaurants  with all kind of food. Mass transit and grocery stores are both at walking distance. I didn't get to meet Natalya in person, we talked through emails and phone : but my accent is, well, french, so, as I was checking in late, she was nice enough to find a way to leave me the key. "

1535250,22158914,2014-10-31,9738162,Anna,"The Cute Apartment in Austin was wonderful.  My husband and I stayed for a week while he attended a conference downtown.  The neighborhood was great -- tons of cute shops and restaurants within walking distance and an easy drive to downtown.  

The apartment was comfortable, clean and pretty.  Better than described.  I would definitely stay there again.  Natalya was a terrific host."
1535250,22288858,2014-11-03,11108300,Jonathan,I was visiting Austin for the F1 weekend race series with my father. This was a perfect apartment to stay in. The location is a little outside downtown but it's a $15 taxi ride. After long days out at the race track and walking around downtown this was a nice place to come back to. 
1535250,22592149,2014-11-10,22088674,Lisa,"My stay in Austin turned out great!  This apartment was in the perfect (email hidden)ose to my class, close to restaurants, and close to a grocery store if needed.  I felt safe in the area being able to walk to local food places and the apartment was quiet in the evenings.  Natalya was a very welcoming host, greeting me at the apartment and making sure I was comfortable there.  I will definitely book this place again if needed for future travels to Austin.  
Thank you for providing a great place to stay!"
1535250,23438739,2014-12-01,4113064,Jeff,Host was very easy to work with. Very clean apartment. Would recommend to anyone!
1535250,25461081,2015-01-17,2875928,Silva,The neighborhood is great and there are so many places to eat and shop within walking distance which is rear in Austin. The apartment is cute and cozy and it has all the amenities to make yourself feel like home. The host was very flexible and accommodating to us and our situation. 
1535250,30918243,2015-04-29,12194569,Amy,"I was in Austin for a 3 month work assignment and decided to stay at the cute apartment in central Austin. I had a great experience here, and it definitely was my home away from home.  I liked the spacious, private living quarters.  The full, updated kitchen made cooking very easy. The washer & dryer downstairs in the garage was an added bonus. There was also a cute little yard with a picnic table and beautiful knockout rose bushes.  The location was perfect-- walking distance to yummy restaurants and an easy drive around town. Natalya was very helpful and responsive when needed. I would definitely recommend staying at this apartment."
1535250,31248915,2015-05-03,26387418,Lorenza,The place was perfect for 2 couples and a dog. Everything was clean and in perfect conditions. Would definitely stay there again if I come back to Austin. Thanks Natalya! 
1535250,32039460,2015-05-12,31638578,Xia,Had a great stay. The room is very clean and the house location very convenient. Near by HEB.They have indoor garage but not available. Thanks.

Upon arrival, I was surprised to find that the property was located in a less than desirable area and that the exterior was a bit rundown. Nevertheless, the inside was immaculately clean and comfortable! "
1535250,34329451,2015-06-07,33378613,Rachael,"Great location, the apartment was well decorated, neat and tidy.  For the money, it was a good choice."
1535250,34837536,2015-06-12,35424877,Sarah,Natalya was so quick to respond to our request! We are actually local and needed to find a place to stay as our AC went out. She responded to us that night and we were checked in the next day. The apartment is really clean and the pictures don't do it justice. My favorite part is that I could walk to my favorite coffee shop! I would definitely stay here again.
1535250,35036274,2015-06-14,33228444,Walter,The place was great. Very clean and comfy. Conveniently located close to downtown. Natalya was also quick to respond to our questions.
1535250,35713072,2015-06-21,2861782,Peggy,"I loved this adorable apartment right in the heart of Brentwood. Natalya was very attentive and always available to answer any questions I may have had. The full kitchen was convenient, but there were also plenty of great dining options available in walking distance. The location was ideal. If you want to walk around the central area it's simple enough. If you need to drive out to other areas of the city, major expressways are quite close. I really liked not worrying about disturbing neighbors and all of the nice touches in the apartment, including honeycomb robes and comfy sheets. When I return to Austin I hope this place is available!"
1535250,38822374,2015-07-19,29920196,Terry,"It was very pleasant indeed. I really like the place.

1535250,45966735,2015-09-07,5179520,Linda,My husband and I enjoyed our anniversary weekend.  The apartment is very nice.  Natalya was a great host.
1535250,47207790,2015-09-16,2861782,Peggy,The garage apartment is ideal for someone who wants to stay in the heart of the north loop area of Austin. The apt has a bedroom and full kitchen and is very comfortable. I walked over to Monkey's Nest for coffee every morning and had easy access to the dining establishments along Burnet Rd. I would definitely stay there again! 
1535250,47663763,2015-09-21,3004645,Andy & Sandi,"Natalya was a pleasant Host. She met us upon arrival and showed us to the accommodations. It was just right for us as we were staying in Austin for three nights. The space was appropriate for 2 people as well. I think 3-4 could stay nicely. We were very impressed with the locale as well. Plenty of cafes, diners and restaurants within walking distance and the coffee shop Monkeys Nest was awesome. We would indeed encourage anyone to stay with this Host. Thank You!"
1535250,48535310,2015-09-27,37507074,Randy,Quite neighborhood. Private apartment. Fair price. We would go back.

1535250,50071820,2015-10-09,37856916,Mary,"Natalya was such a fabulous host - so friendly, and very quick to respond to our questions, very helpful.
The apartment description was totally accurate, we absolutely loved staying in the apartment - very airy and cute.  The neighbourhood is awesome, there is a great coffee shop just around the corner, as well as some awesome restaurants such as the Peached Tortilla and some cool shops.  It also wasn't too far to drive into the city."
1535250,50431418,2015-10-12,9532480,Katie,It was very easy to book with Natalya and she answered messages very quickly. The place was great - close to the ACL festival and easy to get Ubers from. We also walked to some restaurants which was really nice. Great location and the place was very nice.

It was close enough to downtown to make getting there fast and easy but far enough off the beaten path to enjoy some quiet time.   Sharon was a great host.  Very responsive and attentive.   Overall a great experience.  "
2227857,12340196,2014-04-29,262862,Helena,"Sharon's home is beautiful and wonderfully located. Coffee on the back porch and the beautiful Victorian architectural details were highlights. Check-in and out was easy, and Sharon offered great recommendations on yummy places to eat in the area. Next time I'm in Austin, I don't want to stay anywhere else. "
2227857,12378197,2014-04-30,5054938,Kirsten,Incredible home walking distance to basically everything fun on the east side. Highly recommend!
2227857,12864232,2014-05-12,8770329,Peter,"The house was everything we expected and more. It was clean, well kept and very charming. The perfect place to host a friends getaway. We were able to walk all over East Austin and didn't have much trouble making it downtown. I'll definitely be booking here again when coming with 4 or more people. "
2227857,13415534,2014-05-27,2299549,Trevor,"We had a wonderful stay at Sharon's house, which was exactly what we were looking for -- a clean, spacious house centrally located to all the action. It was walking distance to lots of great bars and restaurants as well as downtown. The house is beautiful and has a great backyard, patio and balcony. It fit six of us easily though you could comfortably fit 8 or 10 if needed. Check in was a breeze as there was a lock box with the key when we arrived. I'd highly recommend staying here and would gladly stay again on my next trip to Austin."
2227857,13706925,2014-06-02,15812917,Mary Beth,"Sharon's house was perfect for our weekend in Austin. Great and walkable neighborhood filled with food trucks, bars, and restaurants. The house was spacious and charming as the listing's title implies. Highly recommend. 

As a host, Sharon made us feel welcome and we knew we could contact her with any questions if needed. "
2227857,13879253,2014-06-07,433903,Christina,"My two co-workers and I stayed at Sharon's house for five days when we were in Austin for a conference. The house was perfect, and exactly as advertised. We loved starting the day with coffee on the deck, and then relaxing in the evenings in the living room. We were able to walk to the downtown Convention Center area, SoCo, Rainey St, 6th St, and UT Austin. I'll definitely recommend Sharon's house to anyone who's planning to visit Austin!"
2227857,13964498,2014-06-09,909749,Christophe,"What a wonderful place to stay in Austin! Great location, very unique home, lots of room. "
2227857,16346117,2014-07-26,15824858,Jonathan,We had a perfect stay at Sharon's home. It is a lovely place with everything you need for a few days or a week. Downtown is only 15 minutes walking and the famous 6th street begins at the corner. I would definitely recommend this house to any family or work group that is planning a trip to Austin.

The neighborhood was very safe.  And there is a great burger bar behind the house that was awesome.

The house had 4 comfortable beds and tv, internet and a full kitchen.   "

2227857,19618969,2014-09-15,19690679,Sara,"Sharon had a very clean, charming house. We felt very welcomed, and specifics about the house (rules, directions, how tos) were all clearly outlined for us. At one point we locked ourselves out and she was there to help us within an hour. Very responsive and efficient. The location of the house is great, as well. "
2227857,19688419,2014-09-16,20169986,Victoria,We could not have been happier at Sharon's east Austin paradise. The house itself is lovely and exudes warmth and comfort. And sharon herself was extremely helpful when we locked ourselves out and came to our rescue immediately. Couldn't recommend this place more highly! 
2227857,21514321,2014-10-19,14549908,Linda,"My son was getting married in an historic home just two blocks from this Airbnb. We were so lucky to have found the home and stay there for 4 days, which included the wedding weekend. It was so easy to communicate with Sharon through texting. She got back to us immediately the two times we needed something. The home is spacious and beautiful, even better than we expected. We walked everywhere-to restaurants, to the rehearsal dinner, to the wedding. The location was perfect for us. "
2227857,24863463,2015-01-03,24500712,Carrie,"I had stayed at this house once before and both times found the experience charming, convenient, and comfortable. If you are going out in the downtown area of Austin this is a great ""home base"" and very cost effective if you are staying with a few friends, compared to what one might spend at area hotels. bonus: (if you like your friends) the house has common areas.
There are many east-side bars and restaurants within walking distance and anything else is just an Uber ride away.
Thanks Sharon!"
2227857,25559803,2015-01-19,5743102,Bryan,"Thanks so much for a great stay, Sharon! The place was perfect and we had a great time!"

The house itself is beautiful - has everything you need, super tidy and clean, spacious. The neighborhood is pleasant and very convenient for Downtown. Highly recommended!"

2227857,30192732,2015-04-19,10422766,Amanda,"Wow!  Sharon's house was beautiful!  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect house to stay in during my wedding weekend.  

Everything was super easy.  It was easy to book, easy to communicate when needed and easy access the house.  Things were laid out in the house so you could find what you needed too.  

It was awesome!  I would recommend this house any day!  I was getting married at the French Legation Museum down the street and the house was  a few blocks away - perfect location!"
2227857,31287022,2015-05-04,3718332,D,The house was perfect for 8 of us.  It offers many spaces to gather so that we never felt crowded.  It is tastefully appointed and cozy to live in.  We found it convenient to downtown and walking distance to great restaurants.  The Tamale House was a favorite for breakfast.  Sharon was prompt in her response to my questions.  Everything in the house worked. Downtown Historic Home is a great place to stay.
2227857,31788649,2015-05-10,29166447,Ben,"Sharon's house was absolutely perfect for our group. Not only was it centrally located so that we could walk to anything, it was in great condition, clean, and ready to serve both as a home base for our weekend activities and a fun spot to hang out in just by itself. The street picture makes it look deceivingly small when the house is actually quite large with high ceilings. "
2227857,32191740,2015-05-15,5476271,Beaudry,"Gorgeous historic house with high ceilings and hardwood floors. Super-comfy beds. Well appointed kitchen. All-round great value. Host was thoughtful, communicative and hospitable. "

2227857,34088384,2015-06-04,2253374,Myriam,"Our stay at Casa Olivia was amazing! The house is so beautiful and homey. The group that stayed here mostly live in Austin, yet entering this house instantly felt like a vacation. I highly recommend staying at Casa Olivia and hope to return soon. "
2227857,34321484,2015-06-07,11079518,Hannah,"An amazing place to stay in Austin! There were a group of seven of us and this house was perfect for our weekend in Austin. The house is huge and all the bedrooms are nice and big. Lots of communal areas to relax in. Good location within walking distance of lots of bars and restaurants in the local area and about a 20 minute walk to 6th Street. Sharon was really pleasant to deal with and she responded really quickly when we had any questions. I would thoroughly recommend staying here, it was perfect!"
2227857,38682782,2015-07-17,36570818,Mike,"We absolutely loved the charm of this period home. Sharon was awesome to work with and even let us check in early. The home was clean, large and right in the middle of the eclectic East Austin. We were walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, bars and the famous Austin food trucks. We will certainly be back!"
2227857,40274445,2015-07-29,25646828,Daniel,Great rental. Liked the location and the amenities. Place was very clean and spacious. 
2227857,40841833,2015-08-02,38709175,Melody,Sharon was very welcoming. She even allowed us to check in early for a small fee. The house itself was spacious and very beautiful! We were a group of 8 and had plenty of room.
2227857,41702476,2015-08-08,18486220,Kelly,Sharon was very responsive to communicate with.  We were looking for a single night for a girls overnight in town and originally the home was a 2 night minimum rental.  Sharon contacted me indicating that she could indeed accommodate us for a single night.  Check in was easy and the home was gorgeous and spacious.  Excellent location.  The only thing was that upon arrival the air conditioner was not on so the house was very hot.  We found a large fan to use in the meantime and Sharon apologized indicating that the cleaning crew must not have turned the air conditioning on.  Upon return for the evening the home had cooled nicely.  I would highly recommend renting this beautiful home and would gladly rent again. 
2227857,42597195,2015-08-14,5476271,Beaudry,Smooth operation. Friendly host. Super-comfortable house. Great area. Would stay again anytime.
2227857,42707206,2015-08-15,5382582,Mallory,"Sharon was amazing! Truly! My friends and I loved the house, it's huge and the location is perfect! Great pub that is basically in the back yard. House was very clean. My vacation buddy accidently took one of the parking passes and Sharon was so nice about it. I felt horrible but she was kind enough to work with me in my situation! Thank you so much! Worth every penny! "

2227857,43722343,2015-08-21,847441,Lee,Excellent Communication.  Awesome Location.  Very Close to Downtown & the Convention Center.  A TON of restaurants and nightlife near the home.
2227857,45928494,2015-09-07,32448460,Elizabeth,Had a great stay in Austin. We were there for my daughters wedding and this location was perfect with all the events and other guest staying downtown. House is really cute and Sharon we so easy to work with. Would definitely rent here again. 
2227857,52039654,2015-10-26,16257537,Tomas,Sharon's home is absolutely incredible. I've stayed in a dozen airbnb apartments and I can say with no doubt this was the best home I've ever had the pleasure of renting. The location can't be beat and the house itself is beautiful and spacious. What a great place!
4224100,22254346,2014-11-02,20324887,Tj,Sarah is a professional and welcoming host.   The house was very  clean.  She helped me work through some logistics to best enjoy my stay in Austin.

Dont miss St-Philip bakery shop, 5 minutes  away from the house, you will love their pizza and muffins.

It was equipped with everything we needed and was close to work and downtown. Nathalie was a great host who always made herself available, even when we managed to mess up the WiFi! I highly recommend this place whether you are planning a trip to the amazing city of Austin for just a weekend or a month, you will feel right at home!
"
4224100,29794670,2015-04-12,28698241,Marshall,"The house is very beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen is huge, with all the necessary amenities. Beds are comfy and wifi is fast. Nathalie is extremely helpful and makes herself available. I would stay here again."
4224100,33165860,2015-05-25,32868809,Zachary,"The house was clean, nicely finished, and was perfect for our reunion weekend. 

The location was perfect, it was a short drive into town and it was conveniently located off 71.

Nathalie was a great host and she even came over to check on us when the power went out.

I'd recommend the house to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
4224100,36102713,2015-06-25,16546315,Gregg,We stayed for one month and we're very happy with the home. All was clean and in great condition.

We came in for ACL and had no troubles walking to the park. It's also a quick ride if you don't want to walk. The place was comfortable for the 6 of us. There were also bikes available and food within walking distance. They left a 6 pack in the fridge. The wifi is great. They also shipped an item that someone left at the place. Highly recommend! No complaints! 
33419,51392271,2015-10-19,4349774,Brendan,"Highly recommend Loy and his wonderful home in South Lamar.  Very easy to communicate with, and very welcoming.  The home is perfect for a group of friends or family and even in walking distance to come great restaurants and shops on S. Lamar."
4597924,26722602,2015-02-17,6550805,Joanna,"In short: we just loved it!

We loved both: Austin and Tricia's place.  Both exceeded our expectations!

It was a pleasure to stay at Tricia's house! It's beautifuly decorated and spacious, super clean, looks as great as in the photos. Location is also convenient. Backyard seating area is excellent for warm days or evenings.

Tricia accommodated us on a relatively short notice, communication was very smooth and fast. Tricia was very friendly and extremely helpful--she left for us lots of materials about the city, some snacks and made everything to ensure that we had a great stay. We came on February, 14 and it was soo nice to find a Valentine chocolate box that she left for us :)  

As Tricia and her husband were new to AirBnB and we were their first guests, at the beginning we were not quite sure what to expect. But, as I described above, everything worked perfectly!

Overall, honestly, one of the best AirBnB experiences we've ever had!"
4597924,28126408,2015-03-18,15259104,Andrea,"Tricia is quite possibly the most thoughtful and wonderful host I've encountered on Airbnb.  My colleagues and I flew in for SXSW and although the city was a buzz, Tricia's beautiful home was cozy, comfortable, and a treat after a long day of shuffling around the conference. We had never been to Austin before and thoroughly enjoyed the comprehensive book of recommendations she put together, as well as the care package we found in each of our rooms. When we wanted to ride bikes into the city and we couldn't find locks, she went out and picked up two and dropped them off the next morning. There were just so many instances we were blown away by Tricia's kindness and care. Thank you again for making our stay in Austin amazing!"
4597924,28316078,2015-03-22,201652,Liz,"We came to Austin on a work trip and 3 of us stayed in the house. I have never felt more welcomed at a rental property. Not only is the house beautifully and tastefully decorated it was exceptionally clean and tidy.

The hosts left us goodies in the fridge, an extensive guidebook to the local area complete with personal touches and recommendations and additional toiletries etc. for us to use should we need.

All of my correspondence with Tricia throughout the booking process was smooth and easy with every question I had answered quickly.

We all wish our stay could have been longer! I can't speak highly enough of our experience.

If you're looking to stay in Austin this would be my number 1 go to! "
4597924,30781363,2015-04-27,1878685,Rachel,"We had an AMAZING experience staying here. Tricia and her husband's home is incredible. The house was immaculately clean, there is a cute front porch, the furniture and layout were beautiful, and it was really spacious and comfortable for six of us there for a long weekend. There was great attention to detail- in each room there were baskets of towels and toiletries, and little notes everywhere telling us what we could use, how switches worked, etc. They also provided a great guidebook of restaurants, bars, transportation, and house directions. Tricia was there upon our arrival to explain everything, and the personal touches meant a lot. I was there to celebrate my birthday and Tricia left cupcakes, candles, and a birthday card, plus snacks and beer. That was so much more than we could have asked for if we chose a hotel! Tricia was also very responsive and incredibly nice. I wish I could have stayed in their home longer, and I would recommend staying here to anyone. It will make your trip to Austin even better!  "
4597924,49762291,2015-10-06,33210281,Raul,"The house can comfortably accommodate 6 people and has a very convenient location, as it is only a short drive or bus ride away from downtown, South Congress and the UT campus. It has everything you could need for a short stay, including amenities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste and shampoo in case you forgot to pack anything. The owners were extremely kind and generous. They bought a couple of six packs of beer and cider for our stay and even told us to help ourselves to any food we found in the fridge or pantry. The house was very clean and we felt very comfortable staying there. The entire process of ""checking in and out"" was very well organized and simple. Another plus is that they have two pet chickens that live in a coop in the backyard and you can help yourself to fresh eggs every morning. Overall, I have to say it was a very enjoyable stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
4597924,50614677,2015-10-13,32785925,Robert,"We stayed in Tricia's home for Austin city limits. Including myself we were 8 total. Tricia was extremely accommodating and responsive even before we arrived. Her home is beautiful and fit our group of 8 without any issues. The neighborhood was pleasant with a nice park and walking trail near by. Tricia met us when we arrived and provided a tour of her place. She let us know she would be readily available if we needed anything, and gave our group full privacy after that. We always knew she was available to help but never felt as though she didn't trust us in her home. We had no problems getting around Austin from her place. I would definitely stay in Tricia's wonderful home again, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her Airbnb listing to any family or friends.  "
13035,200602,2011-03-16,393572,Christopher,"This house, everything about it, charms.  Thoughtfully decorated, well appointed. Spacious.  Light filled.  A warm soul that feels like it's cared and lived in, but in such a way that made me feel 'at home' vs. invited.  Everything I needed for my SXSW trip was there - the highlight of which included fresh eggs each morning!  It surpassed any and all of my expectations.

As a host, though we didn't meet, Molly treated me like an old family friend, even offering and planning to pick me up from the airport and show me around before she left on her own vacation.  I can't say enough about how gracious Molly was, and as a result, how pleasant a stay I had.

A couple of notes.  In the concierge department, Molly was all business.  Ready for me were notes, guides, maps, telephone numbers, clean sheets, towels, soap and toilettries, and in general an all access pass to the amenities (including bikes, btw!).

All in all an exceptional experience."
13035,995753,2012-03-13,1708625,James,We had a really great time in Austin. The house was perfect. There were breakfast goodies including fresh eggs and everything was really easy. 
13035,1014203,2012-03-18,1827854,Jumee,"I rented Molly's house for SXSW and I can't imagine a better place to stay. The house is not only beautiful but the location was perfect. It was close enough to downtown that I could quickly hop back to recharge my phone but removed enough from the main action that I could (and was able to) get a solid night of uninterrupted sleep. Molly was an incredibly thoughtful host. She left earplugs, a detailed map of the area and a list of the best places to eat. As a food lover, I really appreciated it. I wish I could have stayed a day longer to enjoy the house more- eat some of the fresh eggs courtesy of her chickens, drink a beer on the porch and check out more of the local restaurants. I highly recommend!"
13035,3812738,2013-03-18,2337178,Nigel,"We stayed at Molly's house for SXSW 2013.  The house is lovely, in a great area and is the perfect distance to the city centre.  Molly was great to deal with when we were planning our trip. She was also very thoughtful in providing us with recommendations for shopping, restaurants etc in the area.  We loved staying at Molly's place and thoroughly recommend it to anyone else considering a visit to Austin. "
13035,8813117,2013-11-19,8564584,John,Stayed during the F1 race this year and had a great experience.  Great communication from Dave and Molly.  Everything was very accurately described and we had no surprises.  The house is a very comfortable and a good place to relax.
13035,22306053,2014-11-03,2341852,Andrea,"Our stay in Molly's home was excellent.  Communication was effortless, all went according to plan.  The photos are accurate and the house is simply gorgeous.  It was comfortable, clean, Internet worked well, there was great coffee we could use, fresh eggs, and some snacks.  The house had a creative atmosphere, very inspiring.  Many little details, great decoration, and personal touches made us feel like we were making full benefit of the AirBnB experience.  The information Molly left for us about Austin was very helpful.  We followed-up on her recommendations and they all turned out great. "
13035,28071445,2015-03-17,56601,Christine,"Molly was such a welcoming host! Everything was so properly labeled for our use and snacks on-hand were key!
The house, yard, rooms, etc were exactly like the photos. I can't wait to steal some of Molly and Dave's decorating ideas for my own home. It was so unique, yet cozy. 
The neighborhood is ideal for staying within walking distance, but not in the middle of SXSW. Getting a pedicab or otherwise was extremely easy and inexpensive for the most part -- but walking is always doable if you budget your time! The restaurants are fantastic in this neighborhood. As an up-an-coming location, the comparison even year over year was noticeable. We made reservations for dinner based on recs from Molly and even tried their favorite breakfast/coffee locations -- not to be missed! We would 100% stay here again (with either 2 couples or 4-5 people -- the two separate bathrooms are awesome)."
13035,28295769,2015-03-22,1242950,Nikki,"Molly's house was the perfect respite from SXSW madness. It's gorgeous, cozy and the beds were extremely comfortable. There were little thoughtful notes throughout the house explaining where to find everything from the right towels for muddy shoes to how to make coffee. And there were fresh eggs from the chickens out back! We loved it & would stay again! (Thanks so much Molly!)"
4151784,21671302,2014-10-21,21738871,Amanda,"Vanessa and her husband were super helpful, and their place was cute, comfortable, and perfectly convenient to everywhere in East Austin and downtown. Their adorable dog was icing on the cake!"
4151784,21980316,2014-10-27,4767312,Davy,"Vanessa was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. The room is large, clean, refreshing and the private entrance is perfect. This location is incredibly convenient to downtown as well as the more interesting areas just east of downtown. The fact that there were multiple bars, coffee shops, food carts (including some amazing bbq and taco trucks!!) within walking distance was a huge plus. I loved staying here and would highly recommend!"
4151784,22174178,2014-10-31,802614,Amit,"Staying at Vanessa's place was perfect. I booked it the day of and she was so quick to respond. Her place is in the perfect location because it is really close everything. I really liked that it was a private room, private bathroom and had it's own entrance. 

The only drawback is that the neighborhood seems to have a lot of barking dogs and a rooster that you could sometime hear, but that is not something Vanessa could control.  

You can tell that Vanessa tried to make the experience as similar to a hotel experience as she could and so that is how the room is set up. The check in/out process was really easy"
4151784,22344464,2014-11-03,10831493,Carmen,"Vanessa was a fun & gracious host. She was very helpful and communicated with me promptly. The room was clean & great. :)

My friend & I needed a place to stay during the Formula 1 weekend & hotels in & around the downtown areas were either sold out or very highly priced. So Vanessa's room was a godsend when I saw it had popped up here! :) I was waiting on word about a 2nd friend of mine to see if she was coming & Vanessa was understanding & offered an air mattress if needed(which was not). Her place is a little bit over a mile from downtown Austin. The place is in a quite neighborhood and is only short walk from a couple of bus routes or to downtown itself. 

The only heads up I can give to people is that even though there is a tv in the room, it was not hooked up to get broadcasts just yet. Maybe the issue will be fixed- if you don't mind not having a tv to watch stuff, then this will not be an issue for you. 

All in all, I will bookmark this place & will definitely come back again! "
4151784,27869151,2015-03-14,24020196,Dan,"Vanessa and Alek provided exactly what I needed: trouble free, private, comfortable, connected, accessible, convenient space. Tons of room for 1, plenty for 2.  Fantastic art on the walls, free wifi & basic cable, and most of the amenities you'll find in any hotel. (Bonus microbrews in the mini-fridge!) Twenty minute walk or five minute cab ride to Austin convention center and rest of downtown, La Barbecue right around the corner, hard to pass up this spot.  Private entrance makes it that much the better.  If I present at #SXSWEDU again next year, first place I'm looking to stay.

Also, Vanessa was super responsive and flexible with my arrival, took pity on her boarder walking in the rain, and offered recommendations (La Barbecue is even better than she said), umbrellas, etc.  I showed off pics of the place to my friends and colleagues attending #SXSWEDU and all were beyond impressed.  Definitely cooler and way less expensive than the Hilton."
4151784,28117055,2015-03-18,4472845,Casey,"Vanessa's room was perfect for my first trip to Austin! The room itself (with private bathroom as well) was clean and very comfortable, and her location was great for walking to downtown / the Convention Center, as well as for going for runs by the river. The private entrance also made coming and going much easier. And Vanessa was super-helpful and very willing to provide recommendations and advice about Austin."
4151784,28433411,2015-03-23,12333248,Katie,"Great space, great location! The room had its own private entrance at the back of the house, bathroom, mini fridge (with craft beer!) and wifi. I visited for SXSW and Vanessa's place was about a 10 minute walk to 6th street, the Convention Center and many nearby restaurants and bars. Vanessa was a great host and made extra sure that I my stay was comfortable."
4151784,28756326,2015-03-29,29805331,Phil,"A great place to stay, so close to downtown. Had a great time. The hosts were perfect."
4151784,30249992,2015-04-19,10830418,Austin,"Vanessa and Alex were great and communicative hosts.  I arrived very early in the morning and they were great about flexing to my arrival time to let me in and really made me feel at home.  The room is very clean has its own entrance, bathroom, TV, coffee machine, and sofa- so its very comfortable.  The location in East Side Austin is perfect for checking out a cool part of town and it's just a short ride or about a 15 min walk from downtown.  There are also some great coffee shops around the corner and it's within a few blocks to a great running trail along the river.  I asked for a late checkout and Vanessa was great at accommodating that as well.  Overall, staying in Vanessa's place allowed me to get a great feel for the city I may not have sensed staying elsewhere; I'd definitely stay here again."
4151784,31986080,2015-05-12,30921074,Mackenzie,We had a great experience with Vanessa and her home! She made it extremely easy for us to check in/out. The pictures are an accurate depiction of what you will get. Very cute and clean place! 
4151784,33250783,2015-05-26,13639230,Laura,"My friend and I had a great time. Vanessa is simply sweet and very welcoming. All the places suggested by her were a hit. Our room was cozy, clean and organized. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends! "
4151784,35615545,2015-06-20,33191022,Andrew,"The only place to stay whilst in Austin! Great location, the place was super clean and had everything I needed. Also pretty much the best hosts ever!!"
4151784,39930822,2015-07-27,33658374,Paul,"Vanessa was great!   The room was clean, the bed comfortable, the location great, the hospitality excellent.   We will return!"
4151784,44199467,2015-08-24,16402450,Cijlvere,"Vanessa and Alec's place was AMAZING! The room was just as described - super cute and clean. Their location was also fantastic! It was easy to get to pretty much everything that you would want to do in Austin. 

Check-in was a breeze, and Vanessa and Alec gave us some great recommendations on restaurants, as well as the best vantage point to see the bats. 

I would definitely recommend staying here! "
4151784,46308838,2015-09-09,41578175,Carolina,"This is the perfect place to stay in Austin. We got everything we needed and more: a mini bar full of beer and soda, coffee table, towels and even a hair dresser. The bedroom and bathroom were exact as the pictures, very clean and confortable. 
Vanessa and her husband were really good hosts, super friendly and always looking to help us and make our stay the best experience. 
The house is walking distance from Rainey Street, Downtown, Dirty Six and La Barbecue (the best Brisket in Austin).  Perfect location, very nice and calm neiborhood. "
4151784,47500448,2015-09-19,3596518,Melissa,"In advance of my visit, Vanessa communicated promptly and answered my questions. She also checked in with me the day before my arrival plus sent a message on the morning after to see if I needed anything (I didn't). I found the listing to be as expected -- bedroom with private entrance and en suite bathroom. I found it clean and comfortable, with bright colors. I was traveling solo for a conference in Austin; if on another business trip, I might look for a location with a desk or work table, however the privacy and quiet of Vanessa's listing was an appreciated respite. As for the location, it was a mile from my conference (Marriott at 2nd & Congress) and I walked to/from a couple times; other times, I took Lyft for about $7-8 (I left my car parked on their street since that was more cost effective than parking downtown). In the neighborhood, I enjoyed The Hightower and Licha's Cantina for dinner, Cenote for beverages and breakfast, and the boardwalk on the south side of the river for walking and views. I walked to all of those but there was plenty of parking. In other parts of the city, I ate at Casa de Luz, saw the bats at Congress Street Bridge, and checked out Barton Springs. Vanessa had a bunch of recommendations in her listing's ""guidebook"" and was available to answer questions."
4151784,49822579,2015-10-06,26189065,Ree,"What an awesome stay! From the moment Vanessa accepted our booking request, she made sure everything would be taken care of. She and her brother were super accommodating with us checking in late at night. The place was great. The room was clean and it was totally comfortable. We never felt uneasy and it felt nice and private. To get around, we took a Lyft most of the time, but it seemed like a short walk to a lot of cool places around town. One really nice perk was the fact it was only a 20 minute walk to the best BBQ we've ever had in our life at La Barbecue. Would totally stay here again. "
4151784,50518318,2015-10-12,42308185,Nicholas,"Vanessa and Alec were the perfect hosts, I felt very welcome as if a friend, beer on arrival, room was excellent and presented to high standard. A home away from home."
4151784,51071682,2015-10-17,4871318,Jordan,Vanessa's place was fantastic and everything I could have asked for as a comfortable and quality place to stay during my trip to Austin. It is super walkable to Rainey and also close to 6th. I had no problem navigating around and finding fun stuff to do (especially with her great recommendations). The house is great and having a private entrance is really nice. I loved the place and the location! Vanessa is also really helpful and available via text. Thanks for hosting and welcoming me to Austin!
4151784,51564884,2015-10-21,25558385,Carly,Vaness and Alex were amazing hosts! I felt very welcomed the whole time. The setup is really nice it's like having your own apartment! I would definitely stay here again :)
4151784,51930574,2015-10-25,6337153,Kathleen,"Vanessa was extremely welcoming and kind!  She was happy to meet me even though I showed up late in the evening.  The room is wonderful!  Very spacious, everything I needed.  The bed was really comfy!  The neighborhood felt quite safe to me and was a convenient location - not far from the airport or downtown.  There are restaurants and food trucks nearby.  I was in town for a conference, but since there was a huge Formula One race the same weekend, the downtown hotels were outrageously priced.  Vanessa's place was perfect!  The room has a big TV, a coffee maker, and a small fridge.  The room has a private entrance from the side of the home - it's a really neat setup!  I highly recommend it for anyone staying in Austin!!"
4151784,52207532,2015-10-27,14378037,Federico,"We were in Austin for the F1 Grand Prix and I can say that this was the best place to stay in Austin. The bedroom has a private entrance and looks very nice, and just exact as the pictures. Vanessa and Alek were always very kind and friendly with us.  We got everything we needed: coffee, a mini bar full of beer and soda, towels. Besides the house has a super location so we could walk to Rainy street. We love ihop and there's one only 5 minutes walk. When we went further, uber only charged us 5 dlls. This is a really nice neiborhood. If once again in Austin, we would stay with Vanessa again for sure. "

my and my partners had GREAT experience,
the house is super cute and comfy!!
we even added one more night."
700855,3781831,2013-03-14,5020316,Scott,"Alex was awesome. Prompt, very communicative and responsive. The place was clean, well appointed and in a nice neighborhood. It wasn't exactly walking distance to downtown - about 2 miles away. But Alex let me borrow his bike - which was great. Would definitely stay there again."
700855,10976382,2014-03-16,11062515,Amelia,"The house was charming and comfortable. We had a spectacular time. 

Such gracious hosts, thank you for having us. "
700855,28112305,2015-03-17,9405717,Marina,"After checking into another AirBnB listing that turned out to be unsatisfactory, I booked Alexander's home. He was able to accommodate me and my friends last minute during the week of SXSW. The house was neat, clean and looked just like the pictures. The neighborhood has lots of character and just a short bike ride to pretty much everything you could want as well as close to the convention center.

Thank you for hosting us, Alexander. I would definitely recommend your home to others looking to stay in a fun, yet quiet part of town."
5456708,32970243,2015-05-24,5656509,David,Easy set up to get in. Brand new house well kept. Neighborhood is quiet. Easy to fit a lot of people. Easy to get a hold of manager. Made for a great time in Austin. Really close to great food and UT. 
5456708,43454436,2015-08-19,26388238,Jim,The host canceled this reservation 65 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
668301,2632651,2012-10-16,3524720,Rebecca,"A SUPERB place to stay in Austin! Hosts John & Carol were extremely generous and welcoming. The beautifully renovated 2 bed/2 bath was spotless, secure, private, and outfitted with all necessities and then some. It's  PERFECTLY located within walking & bike-riding distance of a plethora of eateries and sites. We didn't get in our car once over a 4 day period. There's not a single thing we would change — definitely beats staying at a hotel. So bring your bikes, a small selection of clothes (since you can wash on site), and get ready to enjoy the heart of Austin!"
668301,7338409,2013-09-16,8094537,Molly,"What a wonderful weekend! PERFECT spot for 2 couples - comfortable King bed in each room - and the walk-in showers are FABULOUS with a rain forest shower head AND a regular shower head!!! Fantastic location. Vintage shops walking distance. El Chile restaurant next door - GREAT food. Delicious bakery down the street.
John & Carol have thought of everything! 
Nice kitchen. Tall (website hidden) outside!!! Super cool private rooftop deck with views.
Great communication.
HIGHLY recommend."
668301,7856902,2013-10-06,4976916,Steve And Mariana,One of the best apartments we have seen yet.  Everything and every little detail of what you might want in a holiday rental is here.  So many little things and even comfort items stocked in the kitchen made this a wonderful experience.
668301,7899687,2013-10-07,2987880,Serge,"This is a wonderful place. We loved our stay: everything was very clean, the place offers lots of space, has a wonderful shower(s) and the location is perfect.

John and Carol are great hosts. They even let us use their bicycles. We'd love to stay here again whenever we visit Austin."
668301,8084731,2013-10-15,8504207,Jose Luis,We stayed at John & Carol's for ACL weekend and had a wonderful experience! We were welcomed with beer & wine in the fridge and a very clean home. John was extremely kind enough to give us a ride to the festival when we needed it and was always there to help us out with any concerns. The rooms are really comfortable and the outside area is a great spot to chill. We couldn't have had better hosts and home!
668301,8369847,2013-10-28,8609565,Taylor,"A Place To Stay in Austin has all the locally focused amenities you would find at a luxury boutique hotel like #NYLO and is located in the #BEST part of Austin! No joke, these were the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in! Clean, modern, classy design, huge rain head showers, rooftop patio, #BouldinCreekCafe coffee and a six pack of #lonestarbeer! what more could you want?! "
668301,10935370,2014-03-14,964490,Peter,"It was the third time I visited SXSW conference in Austin. All the years were good. 2014 was the best so far. The apartment was optimal for our needs. It was close enough to the convention center for any kind of transportation. We decided to rent bikes to ride the 3 km down to the city. The apartment itself was clean, modern and extremely well equipped with two bed- and bathrooms, a kitchen with everything, TV, rooftop balcony so on. It is extremely well located with some of the best Mexican food restaurants in town. Carol and John were very friendly, helpful and answered all questions very fast. I would definitely recommend staying in this apartment. When you plan to visit SXSW 2015 I hope I rent the apartment faster than you ... ;-)

668301,12618017,2014-05-06,12286432,Richard & Nicole,"Location! Location! Location!  We are former residents of S. Austin visiting town for a long weekend.  You can't beat this location.  A Place To Stay In Austin was super clean and very well appointed.  Really is set up like a boutique hotel.  John and Carol were excellent hosts, making us feel right at home and giving us our own space.  We'll be back!"
668301,20734437,2014-10-05,5549933,Jeff,"John and Carol were fantastic hosts - they made my friends and i feel welcome from the moment we arrived.  The accomodations were EXACTLY as you see in the photos at the airbnb page - modern, and very tasteful.  Double shower heads in both bathrooms - appreciated by all four of us as well.
In addition to being a completely charming place, it is located in my favorite neighborhood in Austin.  Just a few blocks from some of the cities best restaurants (Lenoir, Sway, Polvos, Vespaio...  Magnolia (hey - it's open 24 hrs!), and all of the fun clubs, shops, etc, on South Congress.
Highly recommend.
Jeff"
668301,21194341,2014-10-13,16473514,Meredith,"We had such a wonderful stay at The Place To Stay in Austin. John and Carol have it all figured out. We arrived as very tired and hot guests, and we're greeted with a fridge filled with beverages, two huge comfy beds to sleep on, amenities to cook with, and a washer and dryer. We spent the afternoon on our roof deck and caught up with old friends. John and carol are wonderful hosts and I highly recommend staying here while in Austin. It is situated in a perfect little laid back part of town, behind john and carols full time home. They were perfectly attentive without being too much so. They were so kind to drive us to the music festival (we were here for Austin city limits). All in all it was a perfect home in a beautiful and quaint part of town, hosted by kind individuals. "
668301,22265259,2014-11-02,10660223,Matt,"John and Carol were fantastic hosts.  When we arrived there food and drinks waiting for us in the fridge.  The place was very nice inside and resembled a high-end hotel room.  The location was perfect.  Everything you need is within walking distance. Great eateries, coffee shops, and steps form S. Congress."
668301,22691596,2014-11-12,855705,Kurt,"The place was exactly as described.  Perfectly clean and looked great when we showed up.  It's in a really nice, funky, Austin neighborhood.  Close to a number of little places right on South 1st. Torchy's, Freddie's, Bouldin Creek Cafe.  Only a block over from South Congress which also has a ton to offer.  Easy access to downtown for anything else you might be looking for!
The place is perfectly set up for two people or couples with two identical master suites, so no fighting over the better set up.;)
The beds were super comfortable and the rainfall shower was amazing!  We will definitely look for this place on our next visit."
668301,22929838,2014-11-17,20369502,Steven,"John and Carol should call this ""a terrific place to stay in Austin"". Our hosts had thought of everything including beverages, snacks, fruit and even fresh roasted coffee from Boulden Creek.  Very comfortable and roomy bedrooms, terrific bathrooms with cool showers...all very new looking, clean and nicely furnished.  While we didn't use the kitchen (so many great restaurants with walking distance) they seemed to have all anyone would need including a dishwasher. We also didn't get to use the patio with outdoor large screen TV or upper deck(via neat spiral staircase) but they looked great and perhaps we can on the next visit.   A great place, a great value, a great location and very thoughtful hosts... would love to go back on next visit to Austin!"
668301,25227922,2015-01-10,18608294,Romaine,"This Place to Stay in Austin was PERFECT!  Couldn't have asked for more. John & Carol were the perfect hosts-very available and also allowing us our privacy.  The home was beautiful-everything new, crisp, clean and open. And being in South Austin was the best experience ever for our family. We shall return! Thank you for a wonderful time..."
668301,28116742,2015-03-18,10257197,Jonathan,"John and Carol gave us a warm welcome to this well-equipped and beautiful decorated accommodation. We loved the south Austin neighbourhood, just a short walk from South Congress Drive; the rooms were comfortable and the bathrooms were exquisite.

We really enjoyed our stay!"
668301,28250260,2015-03-21,24736657,Richard,Great location!  We walked to everything on South Congress for SXSW activities and some good meals along 1st.  Very clean w/ comfortable beds.  John was super helpful when one of our group realized she hadn't printed her tickets out for the Willie party. Only (minor) complaint was that washer/dryer weren't working (some wet clothes from the rain) and the very early morning dumpster pick up from restaurant next door.  Will definitely stay here again if in Austin.
668301,29432235,2015-04-07,14900868,Brett,"I don't know what was better, the place, the location or the hospitality of John and Carol. The location is as good as it gets in Austin, walking distance to everything cool but just out of the hoopla. The place was spotless and fun. They had everything we needed and much more actually in the house already, but it didn't feel like someones house. It felt more like a hotel. John even came over personally to replenish our towels. Could not have been a better stay!"
668301,29760083,2015-04-12,19797668,Amanda,"We had such a great stay in Austin. We were in a really cool area, we did a lot of walking and enjoyed a number of restaurants nearby. This place was exactly as described, and more. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us!"
668301,29996546,2015-04-15,4133689,Brian,"John and Carol have a beautiful place in Austin. It was made all the more welcoming by all their attention to the details that make you feel right at home. This included, but was not limited to, the bowl of fresh, washed strawberries in the fridge for refreshment at the end of a long travel day. I was in town for work, and the amenities perfectly met both business travel needs with that at home feel. "
668301,30706292,2015-04-26,28626349,Nicole,"John met us on our arrival and even invited us to hang out and listen to some live music.  We declined, because it had been a long day, but thoughtful and inviting none-the-less.

The apartment is new and is totally fantastic! really fantastic!! i cooked breakfast every morning. we had everything we needed. 

and, it's in a great area of austin. lots of restaurants to walk to. south congress, downtown and zilker /barton springs are all within 2 miles. easy to do on a bike. we were there for a conference, so we didn't venture out much around austin, but loved where we stayed!

i will definitely be coming back here!"
668301,31405519,2015-05-04,2756712,Abhinav,"John was very communicative from the start and provided all the details necessary before arrival. The entry system eliminated the need for a ""check-in"" process, which really helped because no co-ordination on time was required. John swung by the next morning and made sure that we had everything we needed. The house itself was immaculate with all detailing (and more!) of a 5-star luxury hotel.  The only con is that the living area is a little smaller than we expected, but the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious. The neighborhood is ideal with all the favorite Austin eateries within walking distance."
668301,34496030,2015-06-08,2332430,Glenn,GREAT SPOT! And dark blinds!

"
668301,46076703,2015-09-07,5445501,Danielle,"I booked John & Carol's place last-minute after our previously booked airbnb hosts cancelled our reservation. From the first contact, everything about our stay was incredibly easy and absolutely perfect! The house was spotless upon our arrival and stocked with some local treats, which were very much appreciated! They have thought of every detail that would make a stay easy- whether it be for a night or a week. The location of the house was perfect- within walking distance of South Congress, but on a quieter street near some really good food options. Tip: grab a doughnut late-night to avoid the line in the hot sun, it is so worth it! Thank you, John & Carol for making everything so easy for us. I would definitely stay here again if I find myself back in Austin!"
668301,47722380,2015-09-21,40528451,Jean,"The BEST Place to Stay in Austin! John and Carol have created an idyllic retreat that was nicely laid out and well stocked, anticipating our needs.  The two en suite rooms was perfect for two couples traveling together. The outdoor patio complete with TV, mist and ceiling fan was a great place to hang.  We loved the neighborhood and its convenience to restaurants, food trucks and music venues. We look forward to a return trip!"
668301,49662255,2015-10-05,43810975,Austin,"What an awesome experience for my friends. John was very accommodating and always responded quickly when we needed something. I think for someone that seemed to be working the whole time we were there, he was extremely attentive to us. He even offered to drive us somewhere if we couldn't ourselves. I would recommend this for anybody who wants to be right in the thick of it.  2 king beds and a great kitchen! "
668301,51170225,2015-10-18,31239869,Carly,"What a wonderful place to stay! Super spacious, crazy comfy beds and a fun neighborhood- everything you could ever want for a first (or return!) visit to Austin. The hosts so kindly left us some snacks and drinks- we felt right at home. Thank you, John and Carol!"
668301,52671660,2015-11-01,8594904,Melissa,We had such a nice time at your place in Austin! Everything was comfortable and very clean. Best of all is the location. We walked home from the Continental Club. Thanks so much!
4712701,31953062,2015-05-12,2697646,Merryn,Great house close to South Congress and easy access to the airport. Quiet neighbourhood and close to amenities. Great for a small group and loved the fact that it was once a recording studio.
4712701,37651351,2015-07-09,6015158,Michael,"The place was amazing! The place is everything that was described in the listing. Best of all, it was not too far away from the main areas such as congress and 6th street"
4712701,43095016,2015-08-17,13349101,Dan,"We had a very good stay at the Top Hat. The place was exactly as described with a perfect ambience to match our nights of catching live music out in the town. The house is very well kept and clean, and Jay and his team were excellent communicators with the few questions we had. We would love to stay here again. "
295275,973199,2012-03-05,800173,Katherine,"My friends and I stayed in Joseph's beautiful home for the weekend of my birthday (6 guests in all). It's in a great neighborhood, so we weren't worried about our cars or anything. 

The place itself is just gorgeous and, as I understand it, Joseph did much of the restoration himself. He was thoughtful enough to buy me a birthday cake and leave some items for breakfast which made our stay really easy.

We couldn't have found a better place. Thank you Joseph for making my birthday a success!!"
295275,1000474,2012-03-14,1845840,Gene,"Very clean & organized home. Quiet neighborhood. Felt safe and comfortable. Appreciated close proximity to I35, shopping, and downtown.  Host was very welcoming and provided helpful information for our stay to include family friendly activities in town.  Great visit.  Thank you!"
295275,1074291,2012-04-02,1849441,Diana,"I love this house! It is very beautiful and spacious. Joe was an awesome host, he is very kind, down to earth, and only wanted us to enjoy ourselves during our stay. He also provided us with an air mattress for the two extra people we had staying with us. He is very flexible and easy to speak with if you need anything during your stay. If you need a cheap but nice place to stay this is the house to book! The bedrooms are amazing, I slept like a baby! The bathrooms are awesome! We want to book this house again next time we are in Austin. "
295275,1290303,2012-05-16,2123164,Lily,"My family of four with two young boys stayed at Joseph's house for two months while looking for a house to buy in Austin. Having such a comfortable, fully furnished house with excellent hospitality from Joseph made our move to Austin so much easier. Our needs as a relocating family probably differ from vacationers, but Joseph was so accommodating, I'm sure that whatever you need to make your stay more comfortable will be provided. The location of the house is excellent. Very convenient to all the major highways and a straight shot down 1st St to downtown. The house has a large backyard too, which can't be said for many Austin homes. There are plenty of ways to entertain yourself inside too, with a PS3, TV, movies, etc. Great house, great location, great hospitality! "
295275,1629444,2012-07-04,1956682,Dana,Joseph was an amazing host.  The house met all of our needs and was in a great location.  We will definitely rent this property again.  Thank you Joseph for your hospitality!
295275,1967710,2012-08-13,2592130,Ralph,"        Bang for the buck. Clean, plenty of room, enough tile in the home to cover a football field (LOL). Plenty of parking at this home in a quiet neighborhood with immediate access to First Street with easy connections to wherever you want to go. That is important, as you want to stay off I-35 as much as possible. 
         The entertainment next door was not mentioned in the ad. A beautiful bright red macaw, or parrot occupies it's 10 feet high home structure in the back yard of the home to the west of this place. Acrobatics, squawks for attention, and spoken phrases such as "" here bird, here bird""  was uttered upon the arrival of a native wild bird. Very delightful! Our back yard here, was a nice size and privacy fenced 6 feet high.
          We were stunned at the attention and helpfulness displayed by Joseph. Best host we have seen and we are in our 60's. The location, cleanlieness, and quality of this home is worth $30- $75 more a day than is being charged.  "
295275,2302525,2012-09-17,3000668,David,"We rented this property for three management trainees during their stay in Austin. The property was exactly as advertised and Joseph was a warm, hospitable host. The property is centrally located and convenient to everything that Austin has to offer. Clean and comfortable space, great yard, quiet neighborhood, and excellent communication from our host. Couldn't ask for more!"
295275,2562844,2012-10-09,3606723,Jeff,"Four of us went to Austin to do the Tough Mudder and stayed at Joseph's house. He was an exceptional host, and the house is in a great location. Plenty of space and well worth the price. "
295275,2597384,2012-10-13,831219,Laura,"I had three employees to house, last minute, for a Gaming convention in Austin. All the reasonably priced hotels were booked - so I turned to AirBnB and foound  I have been told the house was great, clean, etc. Getting the keys and into the house was easy and organized. I believe the location also worked well for attendance at the convention downtown. All in all great experience."
295275,2866223,2012-11-12,120930,Robert,"Joeseph has a wonderful place in an great location and is a very friendly and gracious host. The pictures and information about the of the house were very accurate and everything was very clean. The house was wonderfully furnished and is close to downtown. I loved the way he styled the place. We are looking forward to hopefully staying with him again, the next time we visit austin.
"
295275,2925227,2012-11-20,1845653,Miki,"Stayed here for 4 nights to see Formula 1.  The house is only a block or so from the bus stop where you can catch a bus to downtown.  From downtown, I was able to ride a free shuttle to the race track. Excellent location to enjoy everything Austin has to offer. The house was better than expected.  Joe, the host, was very accommodating and went above and beyond to see our every needs were met. He even made sure the cupboard was stocked with out favorite creamer and bought a new tv for one of the bedrooms. Talk about service! First class all the way! I highly recommend staying here, the house and host are both fabulous!"
295275,2956851,2012-11-25,2998986,Steve,"Our family had a wonderful time in Austin for Thanksgiving with extended family and this home was a perfect fit for us.  Nice location, quiet neighborhood, very comfortable beds and living areas were exactly as shown in the pictures.  Very easy to get some work done (with the wifi) and to have fun around town.  It was just a short drive to all the places we wanted to see.  All was great and Joseph was a wonderful host.  Highly recommended!!"
295275,3378159,2013-01-20,1863081,Laura,"This was pretty much the perfect stress-free AirBNB experience.  Joseph was extremely helpful and responsive from the first time I contacted him.  He was flexible when our travel plans changed and when our flights were late on our arrival day.

The interior of this house is beautiful and spacious, exactly the way it looks in the pictures. I particularly loved the walk in showers with the waterfall showerheads and the piano in the living room. =) The suburb is nice and quiet, and it's about a 15-20 minute drive on 1st street from downtown."
295275,3666404,2013-03-02,4036954,Theresa,"Joseph was most accommodating, thoughtful and helpful.  We could not have asked for more from a host.  The house is nicely located between 1st and South Congress with easy access to downtown yet in a quiet neighborhood with a large, enclosed backyard perfect for our dogs and us.  Joseph has clearly put a lot of work into making this home comfortable, attractive, and very clean.  It was a pleasure to stay at this home and to talk with Joseph, who was very flexible with a first time aibnb renter.  "
295275,3770556,2013-03-13,3150665,Tony,Very clean and comfortable. The house is a bit far out to depend on public transport if you will be partaking in Austin nightlife but I had a car and it was a straight shot to/fro downtown so pretty convenient and you slept in a quiet environment. The host was communicative and fulfilled every promise. 
295275,3819314,2013-03-18,1908515,Humberto,"This house is AMAZING. Honestly the photos don't do it justice once you get in you won't want to leave seriously I wanted to move in. And Joseph is a great host super responsive, patient, flexible and cool. I would love to stay at his place many more times. "
295275,3986448,2013-04-01,5509450,Francis,"My family of 4 usually stay in hotel rooms. We have a handicap child in a wheelchair.    In the past we occasionally rent a vacation home.  So for this Easter , we decided to try a weekend home.   

First off i saved over $180 to rent this home over hotel rooms.
Second, this home provided us much more room and comfort for the family.
The pictures are accurate and the host / owner ,  Joseph is very nice and will help in any way.   There was one step that my daughters wheelchair needed to go over , and he happily provided a plank that worked very well to allow her easy access into the home.
I give this home and owner a 100% satisfactory rating.


"
295275,4185628,2013-04-16,3742195,Roy,"This was a great house for me and my colleagues! We were in town for a work event and needed a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to rest at night. It was exactly what we had hoped for and exactly as advertised. Joseph was great to work with and check in/out was super easy. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a great place to stay in Austin South!"
295275,7007841,2013-09-03,3968587,Elizabeth,"Great house, great location. 
We were very happy with our stay at the house, it was clean, clear instructions on how to use the electronics and in a great location to all the Austin eateries. We look forward to our next stay!"
295275,8537667,2013-11-04,61843,Eli,Joseph did an amazing job to not only make us feel welcome but make check-in and check-out a breeze. The house was clean and tidy just like the photos. The shower in the master bedroom was my favorite part! Would stay again and would highly recommend. 
295275,8811469,2013-11-19,6113234,Sheila,"We had a great time staying here. The house was very clean and well furnished with lots of extra amenities like DVD's & Game system. Location was easy to get to, not too far from airport and has a grocery store nearby. Host is nearby and willing to help with anything you need. We would definitely stay here again!"
295275,9032227,2013-12-02,9408015,Jillian,I cannot tell you how great Joseph and his place were! It was our first time on AirBNB and Joseph was wonderful. The house was perfect for hosting thanksgiving for our parents. Great yard for our little dog. And clear instructions and fast responses from Joseph every time we messages him. It was a wonderful weekend. Thank you Joseph!!
295275,9197179,2013-12-12,10329557,Kristi,"Joseph's home was a welcomed retreat for us as we were in the process of moving to a new home and needed a place to stay for a few days. Normally when I stay in a hotel, I am not able to sleep soundly just because it's not my bed, but I can say that I had the best sleep I've had away from my own home in years. The house itself is cozy and comfortable, and Joseph was very responsive when I had questions. "
295275,9443911,2013-12-29,9770984,Lauren,Convenient to everywhere we needed to go. Joseph was always available if needed for communication and always courteous. Thank you for making our first Airbnb experience a success!
295275,10317775,2014-02-12,5623591,Adam,"Awesome Place....  Pictures don't do it justice.
Joseph was very easy to work with and he had the house ready to go.  VERY CLEAN and very spacious.  The house is in a great location.  2 minute walk to the bus stop and a 15 minute drive to all the popular Austin Hotspots.

I would stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin."
295275,23320371,2014-11-29,11974155,Jason,"I was very pleased with my experience with Joseph and the home itself.  He was always very prompt in replying to any questions I had and when we arrived the home was exactly how it is pictured.   I stayed with my wife, mother and brother in laws and everyone was very comfortable.  It was great having a place to hang out together in the mornings and evenings after busy days instead of retiring to our own hotel rooms.  The house was clean, comfortable and was a quick 10-15 minute drive to ANY part of Austin we wanted to visit.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.  "
295275,28861691,2015-03-31,19800913,Robb,"This was a great experience. I spent 4 months here. The house is graciously furnished. People would stop in and be very impressed. Gorgeous oversized furniture. Nice backyard. Functional kitchen. Even a Piano!! 

Joseph is prompt, diligent, friendly and everything you want in a host. 

And it's a $15th uber to Downtown. "
295275,29162706,2015-04-05,3931820,Christine,"This is the second time my mother has stayed at Joseph's house when visiting. The location, cleanliness and size of the house make it an ideal rental for us.  I had great communication with Joseph when booking and right before our check-in. He's seems very personable and available if the renter is need of anything. I'm sure this will not be my family's last stay. "
295275,30258673,2015-04-19,20335246,Ankita,Joseph was a really warm host to us. I visited Austin with five other friends and Joseph ensured our stay was really comfortable. The house is beautiful and very spacious and way more beautiful than in pictures. The location is convenient as well from every location in town. I would definitely stay at his place again when I visit the city next time. Thank you for your hospitality Joseph! :)
295275,33745844,2015-05-31,8669707,Melissa,Excellent accommodations and very convenient location. Thank you!
295275,42996679,2015-08-16,35469133,Nancy,"So clean you can walk barefoot! There is a reason that Joseph has over 60 positive reviews. It's because he goes WAY above and beyond. He doesn't even live in Austin anymore but when I needed extra towels they were delivered to the doorstep! We had a fun friends trip to Austin which staying at this house was a big part of. There were 8 of us total in Austin. 5 stayed at this Air BnB while the others got traditional hotel rooms at the Hilton. Of course they had to come over to see what we were raving about. They were pleasantly surprised. All of my friends have nice houses. It was important for me to book a house so everyone could be comfortable. Both of Joseph's houses are fabulously furnished. This house is very warm and inviting. The living room furniture is oversized & extremely comfortable. It appeals to both genders. Each of the 3 beds were a queen which was very important to me that we all had similar sized beds and quality. I couldn't possibly ask my friends to leave their comfortable home, drive 6 hours, & sleep on some random kids bed for 2 nights. I jumped on all three beds. The master bedroom has memory foam mattress and pillows. Everyone reported that their bed was comfortable. You get exactly what you see. You'll love the bathrooms. We took Uber downtown & drove our own cars to other places. The garage fit an SUV and mid-sized car. The neighborhood is very safe. 
Great stay. Thanks, Joseph!"
295275,49012147,2015-09-30,16546315,Gregg,We stayed at Joseph's home for 30 days and found it to be very comfortable and clean. It is well furnished and the neighborhood is quiet and convenient to South Austin and downtown. Joseph was helpful and responsive to requests but gave us plenty of privacy during our stay.
905360,3816559,2013-03-18,2759706,Jamie,"What a great stay my friends and I had at the Teal Ranch!  Olivia's perfect hosting started from afar - her emails were warm and friendly, informative and prompt.  I felt welcomed from the moment she accepted our reservation - and that continued throughout - she took great care to set up the house exactly how we needed it for the number of guests that were coming.  There were even cereals provided and candies on the pillows!  I mean, how gracious can you get?  The house is adorably decorated and perfectly comfortable for lounging around with friends - particularly soaking up the Austin sunshine in the cute backyard/side porch areas.  And it's a perfect distance to all the area attractions we wanted to get to - from delicious BBQ joints, to swimming holes, to downtown music venues.  Stay here if you can - I'd recommend it all the way around!"
905360,4167427,2013-04-15,4649249,Zulaikha,"Our stay was fantastic! The place was gorgeous and our host left us the essentials to make our stay comfortable. We didn't get to meet Olivia unfortunately, but I was in touch with her throughout my stay. She was very responsive, friendly and informative on where to go eat, drink and have a good time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! "
905360,4262706,2013-04-22,5975465,Sandra,"The place is  nice and charming. Olivia is a great host, we had everything we need for the night and we felt comfortable. Also Olivia left treats for us :) Thank you! "
905360,10884644,2014-03-11,3285956,Jeff,"Olivia was fantastic. Thanks for snacks n such! 
She is an amazing host and will make sure you have everything you need. I will definitely see if her place is available when I'm in Austin next."
905360,11810260,2014-04-15,13586128,Charles,"We had a great stay at the Saffron House.  Nice place to stay in a great East Austin Neighborhood.  Olivia made sure we were well taken care of, ready to go back right now."
905360,12350348,2014-04-29,253151,Rory,"I have to agree with all the other reviews - the place was great! Comfy, spacious, easy to find, and the coffee and the beer was a great addition! We had a great time in Austin and the house was no exception."
905360,12958931,2014-05-15,3251173,Jonathan,Olivia was a great host.  She was quick to respond to texts and calls.  She left us food and drink which we used and appreciated. The house was exactly as she said it would be.  There was even a fourth available bed if we needed it.  Definitely recommend this place.
905360,13086347,2014-05-19,8977654,Rose,Olivia's place was perfect for my graduation weekend. I wanted a place close to campus and that would be comfortable for my out-of-town family to all hang out. The location is perfect and the house itself is fantastic. Olivia was very attentive and quick to respond to my texts even though she was out of town herself. Thanks!
905360,13960424,2014-06-09,13899589,Chris,"We were very happy with the Saffron House.  Close enough to the convention center, but quiet and away from the buzz."
905360,14281279,2014-06-16,2632774,Nick,"Olivia was super helpful and accommodating.  The house is as clean and cosy as it appears in the photos, and the beds are super comfortable.  Also East Austin is an awesome place to stay, close to town and packed with tons of bars and restaurants within walking distance."
905360,16566884,2014-07-29,17424073,Myron,We had a great experience at the Saffron House and Olivia was a great host. The house was in great condition and fot 8 of us guys great! The neighborhood was convenient. Would stay again!
905360,16936569,2014-08-04,18471677,Philip,"Olivia was very helpful, responded quickly, and provided attention above and beyond what I had expected.  Her place was clean and big enough to sleep seven very comfortably.  If you're looking for an affordable place in a good neighborhood, look no further (especially now that Uber is in Austin and can pick you up and take you where ever you need to go).  She planned ahead for us (setting up extra beds, providing towels, etc.) and I really appreciate that."
905360,18892551,2014-09-02,19030658,Scott,"Olivia was a great host, we felt very welcome when we arrived.  The location is a very close cab ride to downtown Austin and the place worked great for a crash pad at good price.  The space was a little tight for a group of 9 but Olivia was great at making sure we had enough sleeping space set up for everyone."
905360,19706053,2014-09-16,16426658,Juliet,"Cute shabby chic home in up and coming neighborhood! Loved the natural alarm clock of the wild neighborhood roosters! Too funny! The three bed house was perfect for us girls in town for a SUP event! 
Close to downtown. ...used Uber most rides were less than $13 to any downtown destination. 
Olivia was fabulous and very accommodating easy to communicate with!  And gave us a much needed late check out! So appreciative!"
905360,19903702,2014-09-20,4611428,Robin,"Olivia is a very thoughtful host. She was waiting for us when we arrived to give a tour of her space AND she left a jar of Nutella and a box of Frosted Mini Wheats! (Among many other sundries in the fridge and on the kitchen counter.) My coworker and I were overjoyed! 

There were other details like a ""Welcome Robin & Nickie"" sign on the fridge to make us feel at home. 

Olivia's house was very comfortable for two of us. We even had a third on our last night and we all had enough space. An important thing to point out here is that Olivia was really generous with her flexibility. We REALLY appreciated this as our plans shifted during our short stay. 

The kitchen table was the perfect work space for us and our bedrooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. 

We ate great food (Olivia had a list of nearby recommendations) and had a fun visit in Austin. Thank you Olivia!"
905360,20017122,2014-09-22,19469335,Mae,"Olivia was SUPER sweet. There was 10 of us girls in town for a bachelorette celebration and the Saffron house was a perfect size for us. 3 bedrooms with 2 beds in each room, plus a pullout couch if we needed it. The house was very well kept and she even had a welcoming gift for us (Champagne bottle)! 

The location was great too...close to downtown. Taxi cabs to downtown locations were ~$12-15. Her neighbor has a rooster that crows in the morning haha, but it was actually a great way to get all the girls up for all the activities we had for the day! I would definitely stay again!"
905360,20519997,2014-09-30,12197910,Brady,What a great home. We came to town for a tour we produce around the country and with friends  for this one. Choosing this house was perfect!! Being so close to town was  a huge asset to spending time together when going out.Everything about the house was ideal. Two great places to eat was Franklins BBQ (which never has a line) and salt and time butcher shop. I highly suggest locking down this place anytime visiting Austin
905360,21270722,2014-10-13,8550772,Roy,A great Airbnb first experience! Our original plans fell through at the last minute and I'm glad I stumbled upon Olivia's home. Our stay was extremely comfortable and the location couldn't have been better! She responded soon after the reservation request was made and we were at the house a few hours later for ACL. She was very kind and I'm glad she trusted us with her home for the weekend. More than enough beds were made and everything was out and ready to go for us. The ladies of my group thought the house was very cute and loved the decorations. We are already planning another trip to Austin and we hope Olivia's home will be available again!
905360,21588787,2014-10-20,1915249,Eli,"Olivia was a fantastic host, and her place was amazing!  Smack dab in the middle of one of Austin's hottest neighborhoods, her place has a very warm vibe and anything you'd want as a guest.  Very clean, with ample parking and WiFi. Great deal, too!"
905360,22014077,2014-10-28,18746165,Teri,The place was comfortable and very charming. Good location near downtown. Clean. Nice. Great place to visit.
905360,22287961,2014-11-03,398439,Kristen,Olivia was a great host. She made sure we had everything we needed and her place was comfortable and well located. Would recommend anybody to book her place. She was very accommodating to greet us.  
905360,22430907,2014-11-06,10425740,Emily,"We had a fantastic stay at Olivia's place in East Austin! The house is cute and spacious, and equipped with everything we needed. Olivia made the check-in/check-out process super easy, and was available at any time to answer questions or address any issues (not that we had any). Neighborhood is friendly and safe. As Texas first-timers, we appreciated the food & drink recommendations that were left for us as well. This was my first airbnb experience, and thanks to Olivia it was a great one! "
905360,22601365,2014-11-10,22548272,Luke,"Lovely house clean and tidy just as described. Olivia was there to meet us and was even kind enough to give us recommendations on things to see and do. 
Slightly out if town but only 5 minutes and less than $10 in a cab. 
I would recommend"
905360,22950411,2014-11-18,6503653,Margaux,"What an adorable house! All the beds were made (and they are so comfortable!) and towels were laid out for each of the guests. The location is perfect, walking distance to a cute 24h coffee shop and a quick ride from any of the main attractions in Austin. We had a great weekend staying at Olivia's house and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun time in Austin! "
905360,23075995,2014-11-22,9430303,Justin,Olivia is a great host; easy to work with. The house was clean and tidy.
905360,23711976,2014-12-08,3709511,Misbah,"Our Host Olivia was wonderful! She is very welcoming and friendly.  She communicated with us before our arrival to coordinate sleeping space, key pick up, and to show us around the house. Her house is clean, welcoming, and accurate per description/pictures.  The neighborhood is a developing one (East Austin, in general). There is a close by Coffee Shop (Bennu, love it!) that you can walk to, it even sells breakfast tacos and baked goods making the morning very convenient. If you are bringing cars her driveway can fit two mid-size cars and the street has open parking as well. We came for a busy wedding planning weekend to Austin so did not spend tons of time in the house, but when we did, it was very pleasant! We had 6 people staying at the house and it was very comfortable in terms of sleeping and common area space. "
905360,23995429,2014-12-16,23094999,Patrick,the house was adorable and was in a great location for us. Olivia was always available to call or text!
905360,25593427,2015-01-20,4481287,Rebecca,"This was the perfect place to have a cozy much-needed reunion. All my friends were able to fit comfortably, we were able to make coffee and hang out in the kitchen and the neighborhood was great. This could not have been more perfect. "
905360,25797876,2015-01-26,24443449,Adam,Olivia was a great host! She was SUPER responsive and thoughtful about making us have a relaxing and enjoyable stay in her great home in Austin. The house was great and an excellent home base during an adventure filled Austin weekend!
905360,26610868,2015-02-16,13285282,Anant,"Olivia was a great host. She was there to welcome us to her home and walked us though everything. The house is in a great location and had plenty of space for us all. We will definitely consider this place again the next time we're in Austin. Thanks, Olivia!"
905360,27019228,2015-02-23,12905016,Avery,Olivia was an amazing host. The place was so comfortable and convenient to stay in as well. We had a packed house and she was still able to accommodate every request. 
905360,27331945,2015-03-02,26486690,Terri,The house was amazing with a bottle of champagne with a card for the bride on the counter.  There were also chocolates on the beds...Such a cute little home!  Perfect for a Bachelorette party so much better than a hotel....I would recommend this place to anyone and the host was amazing communicating details!
905360,27715964,2015-03-10,11525902,Erin,"The host had set out a bottle of champagne, card, and flowers - it was the perfect welcome. The house was beautifully decorated and was perfect for a weekend with the girls. "
905360,28167411,2015-03-19,3463074,Ashley,Olivia was the BEST host ever! She was super accommodating and quick to respond. My team drove down in a school bus so I had a lot of crazy questions that she helped answer and navigate the details--she was almost an extension of our team! We had such a good time staying at the Saffron House during SXSW and would book it again in a heartbeat. It's in a great area of town--close to awesome local hangouts like El Chilito for tacos and JuiceLand for a boost of energy in the morning. I miss it already!
905360,28409448,2015-03-23,27943474,Shonte,Olivia was very welcoming. She even left beers in the fridge. The neighborhood was nice and in a perfect location. The house has good sleeping space but we had to adjust being the size of the adults in our group. We only had 9 people and it was pretty tight. The house is electic and cute however. 
905360,28985992,2015-04-02,26712150,Corinna,"Olivia was so responsive and helpful, and she really somehow made me feel welcomed even though I never met her. She was always quick to get back to me, and even sent me a ""checkin in"" text a few hours after we arrived. She left us treats and coffee which was super awesome. 

The map on the listing WAS mis-marked, not at all Olivia's fault, but to the fault of AirBnB. It took me a couple days to realize the place I had booked a few months earlier was in a different location (Upper Boggy Creek). I was visiting family, so we were all confused. 

This was my first AirBnB stay, so I didn't know how the maps work - and they are more area specific, not ""pin"" specific. The current listing's map has been changed (as I wrote into AirBnB when I returned home). The house originally wasn't even in the blue/green bubble (on map). 

The neighborhood isn't great, but it's house by house. Across the street the house looked like a small junkyard, and then the house right next door was newly remodeled. After a day or two, we weren't alarmed by the neighborhood, but I brought my 2 small kids, and I was a little worried at first. "
905360,29812270,2015-04-13,24408943,Sara,"Olivia's place was absolutely charming, and our party of 10 couldn't have asked for a better place to crash during our bachelorette weekend in austin. Greeted by Olivia, a thoughtful bottle of wine, and a very simple list of rules we immediately felt at home. There were towels and chocolates for each of us. She was even kind enough to accommodate us over the phone to find a pair of sissors!! Although some previous visitors seemed to have looked down on the area I would have to strongly disagree. The family accross the street was friendly and we never once felt unsafe and kept our cars parked there nearly the whole weekend. The best part was that the cab rides to and from downtown were only about $10!!!! Would recommend this home to anyone looking for a great place to stay while visiting the wonderful city of Austin."
905360,30280001,2015-04-20,25715734,Jessica,My Stay At Olivia's House was pleasant. When we arrived she was very welcoming and gave us a tour.  She Was always readily available and gave suggestions where we could go! Overall great stay experience for our first airbnb stay!
905360,30768408,2015-04-27,9174000,Madeline,"Olivia was extremely helpful, accessible and hospitable. Her house was the absolute perfect place to stay for a bachelorette weekend; the house is intimate and homey. The beds are so comfortable too! Everything is really well looked after, which made us feel welcomed and at home immediately. The neighborhood is really nice, quiet and within walking distance to some really great food places. It was also the perfect distance away from the center of the city. Olivia is such a great host, I will definitely stay at The Saffron House again!"
905360,31294007,2015-05-04,26549273,Rachel,We stayed at The Saffron House for my sister's bachelorette party! We had 11 girls in our group. There was plenty of room and Olivia was extremely accommodating! (The beds were also super comfortable). Perfect location and a very charming home. Absolutely nothing wrong with our trip! 
905360,31938663,2015-05-12,27617024,Devin,"Olivia was awesome to rent from!  She was at the house waiting for us when we arrived, left us 4 keys, towels for each of us on the beds, and a six pack in the fridge!  There was a nice map of local places to eat and drink.  The place had central air which was clutch in the Texas heat.  It's a little smaller than it looks online but still worked great for 7 of us.  "
905360,32528829,2015-05-19,30858227,Melissa,The house was very cozy and fit myself and my 4 guests just fine. We spent most of our time outside of the house but we all felt the beds were comfortable and the location of the house was very convenient to downtown. The two bathrooms was great too! Olivia was super accommodating when I had to add an additional person the day before arrival and when we arrived early. She also left me a birthday bottle of bubbly which was very kind. I would definitely recommend to anyone booking for a getaway to Austin. 
905360,33775955,2015-06-01,28251049,Natalie,"Olivia was great! She met us earlier than normal check in time since our flight landed early, made sure there were snacks in the house that we liked and gave me a lot of fun options for me and my group to do while there. She was also super communicative during the whole process which made everything much easier. The house was great, we had 10 girls and even though there was only 1 shower we made it work! Somehow the hot water never ran out which was my biggest fear. 

Sleeping situation was easy, and we had plenty of room for everyone. The house is also located in what seems at first to be a little further from the city, but once you get your first cab in you realize just how close you are. Cabs ran our group about 6-9 dollars in and out of the city so like 18 round trip which was awesome!!

We didn't spend much time at the house, but it was perfect for getting ready and hanging in the morning before the day. I would definitely suggest the Saffron House :)

Thanks again Olivia for such an amazing time!!"
905360,41584573,2015-08-08,23705649,Lucas,Olivia did a great job of making us feel welcome; she had some snacks and drinks stocked in the kitchen at our arrival.  Whenever we needed to contact her we got immediate response.  She was responsive but also gave us plenty of space and privacy.  The location is convenient to UT Austin and downtown areas; there are lots of restaurants and stores nearby.
905360,49762233,2015-10-06,27417133,Peter,"Olivia is a fantastic host! We could not have asked for a smoother check in process or stay. She met us at the property (on time) and showed us everything she had prepared for our stay. There were plenty of beds, and the condition of the property was as promised.  She even went out of her way to inflate an additional bed and left some snacks for our arrival. There was no shortage of towels, toiletries, and the AC worked like a charm. The neighborhood is very quiet and a 5 minute cab ride away from everything. I would stay again, and highly recommend to others looking for a great property in Austin, TX! Thank you, Olivia! "
905360,50432625,2015-10-12,6413275,Cary,"It was about 70% charming for 3 mid 40's dads and 3 sons down from Dallas for ACL. Decent crash pad for the weekend but for the almost triple rate we were charged for ACL, we would have pref'd a hotel. I have rented a lot from coast to coast and also own rentals. I have rented many times in Austin but never spent much time in East Austin. This particular section is a bit of a shocker if you're not prepared. Roosters crowing in the morning, people had their clothes drying on their chain-linked fences. Luckily the neighborhood was nicer than first impression and the walkability to restaurants and coffee shops was GREAT. LOVED the mid century and new modern architecture sprinkled around many of the not so nice old, tiny, broken down houses. Thought the pictures were much nicer than reality. And when Property Brothers was mentioned - that kind of implied that this was an ""HGTV"" - type renovated home.  Weeds were all overgrown around side of house.. Grass all dead and (website hidden) compressor unit is caked with dirt (need to clean out coils). This was one of those places where a LOT of the host's stuff is still there (Razors hanging in the shower, leftover food in fridge, etc). That's just not my bag. I'll ask in the future. There was a hallway covered by a curtain that housed a bunch of her stuff.. busted tiles in halls, rickety window coverings (highly suggest real blinds and real drape rods - they kept falling down and did not keep light out), toilet seats were both rickety (I recommend slow-closing ones for rentals). After a long drive with 3 teenagers, I did not need the in-person welcome at 9:30pm. You seem like a lovely person but with rentals, I'd pref not to interface with the owner in person. You did say that you like to meet your renters in your description so I can't fault you for (website hidden) was set at 82 and took a couple hours to finally get down.  It's a Nest thermostat and can be set remotely so why that wasn't set for us I don't understand. Furniture was moved around in living room and boyfriend was supposed to have had the house all set for us but didn't. For that kind of money I expected it to be RIGHT upon arrival. Sorry to be the renter that zagged but I hope it will help you. "
905360,51896515,2015-10-25,7581573,Cherie,We are extremely satisfied with our experience in this lovely house. There were 6 of us sharing and the set-up was perfect. Olivia was very kind to accommodate to our schedule for check-in and check-out as well. We love the decoration and her music collection very much. The location is also great. There is a cool bar within walking distance too. Highly recommended. Thanks again for having us Olivia.
905360,52838765,2015-11-02,26921464,Beat,"Fantastic host, great location, nice and cozy house with all you need. Olivia is also very flexible and she was very patient with us and waited until we arrived. We had a big delay because of heavy rain but Olivia waited and warmly received us. Again, Olivia thanks a lot for that.
The house is in a cute neighborhood and I enjoyed jogging through the area. Butcher, little stores and restaurants are in walking distance. However, Olivia has also everything in the house you might need to make your steak at home. Long story short, it was just a great stay.

5038210,28124880,2015-03-18,1271799,John,"We've had a wonderful stay with Tara and her husband Brett. They were very friendly and we felt very welcome from the start. They provided us with some food & drinks after a long flight. To get around they even lended us some bikes. The apartment was spacious, very clean and located in one of Austin's most beautiful neighbourhoods. 
Thanks again Tara!"
5038210,28326208,2015-03-22,25513559,Chelsea,"The house was beautiful, clean, and comfy. The hosts were very nice & accommodating, and they even left us some goodies in the home for our stay. I would definitely recommend this place & host."
5038210,28750540,2015-03-29,8262522,Niza,"This unit was really comfortable and private and very spacious. Tara took care of everything to make sure we had a pleasant stay. The location was perfect of us, it was close to the city but also nestled away and great for walking around and short hikes. "
5038210,29564058,2015-04-09,4556029,Joyanne,"I would love to return!  Tara was a fabulous hose, a quick responder when it came to emailing me in advance.  The apartment was exactly as described with a great setup in a wonderful part of town.  My husband and I are hikers and so having access to the trail behind the property was fabulous.  The apartment was perfectly clean with everything we needed to cook from time to time and relax with Netflix.  You can easily accommodate up to 4 guests in the bedrooms.  Tara and her family were wonderful, and I'd recommend booking this property on your trip.  We really didn't want to go home as we had a great trip, and a big part of what makes a trip so comfortable is having a wonderful home-base.  "
5038210,29941651,2015-04-14,30228047,Ann,Tara was great at answering questions and staying connected before and during my stay. She provided a welcoming home with much appreciated snacks upon arrival. The location was in a great neighborhood and a beautiful spot with a walking trail right beside the property. Also easy access to downtown.
5038210,30220919,2015-04-19,29540943,Leah,"This place is beautiful.  We had a great time.  The host provided a lovely welcome package along with a location of Starbucks which my group loved.  

The place was as advertised no weird or uncomfortable surprises.  Very clean and well organized.

There is a sweet walking trail very close.  Wear your tennis shoes.  It is a bit of a hike."
5038210,30684375,2015-04-26,29117826,Kelly,"What an amazing spot! Not only did Tara and Brett make sure we were okay when we got into town, we arrived to a well lit driveway and snacks and groceries just perfect for our late arrival! Tara made me feel super comfortable bringing my 9mo daughter by putting in a baby gate and even getting us a pack n play for her to sleep in. The apartment was very comfortable and made us feel quite at home. We are definitely marking this spot for our return to Austin. "
5038210,33361514,2015-05-27,29236511,Kelsey,"Tara was so nice and accommodating to us all throughout the process. She made sure we knew how to get to the house, provided some information about the neighborhood and some local coffee shops and restaurants, and had snacks and wine at the house on our arrival! The neighborhood is so beautiful! Full of trees and cute little (or big) houses. It is minutes from downtown and even closer to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. There is a beautiful trail that goes to the Barton Creek greenbelt right next to the house, you could see the looks of envy from those who had to drive to the trail :) The house was just as pictured and just so cute. We will definitely stay here again if/when we visit Austin! "
8351633,51255597,2015-10-18,39774350,Emily,"Sara was a great host! She was very easy to contact and was very accommodating! Her place isn't too far from things, maybe 15 minutes from downtown, and it's very reasonably priced! I'd suggest it for a weekend stay in Austin like we did. It's very clean, and Sara even left bagels for us in the kitchen if we wanted them in the morning before we left!"
8351633,51992646,2015-10-25,45609866,Leah,My stay here was awesome. Just as pictures & fit 7 of us. We were only looking for someplace to get some sleep & it was perfect for that. Very up to date furnishings! & the shower was perfect. Would recommend for any 1-2 night visits! Thanks again Sara for baking an awesome host! 
8351633,52793470,2015-11-01,34854572,Jonathan,"What a wonderful stay in cozy, little garden-like apartment! Sara and Tony were great hosts, the place was perfectly clean and ready for our stay, and they even went out and bought a couple of special requests for us before our stay (thanks!). We met briefly to exchange keys and Tony and Sara were so, so nice and welcoming. There really is a great vibe to their little apartment and I'm so happy with the stay we had. Thank again!"
1906703,12332247,2014-04-29,12194061,Mary,"The house was in a great location, easy to get around to all the cool places in Austin. Minutes from 6th street and downtown. We walked to the corner where there are many great places to eat. The swimming pool at the house is not functional. Had to spray insect repellant to sit outside, especially at night."
1906703,28120957,2015-03-18,26033009,Dan-Erik,"Very very nice home and house. Clean and big rooms and smart spaces. It´s a wonderful feeling all through the house, got personal style yet nice and almost luxury. The garden is one of kind and amazing for a sunny breakfast, dinner and so on. Austin is a great host and everything worked out very well, if we had any questions he answered us in a couple of minutes. We had a really great time and will warmley recomend this house to 4-6 people. "
1906703,51957400,2015-10-25,27975939,Sean,"Great place to stay in Austin. Three beds were very comfortable, the whole house was clean and there was plenty of room in the fridge for food/drinks. Great location, easy walk to restaurants and music. The owner made getting in and out very convenient and responded quickly to any questions.  "
8186030,50235277,2015-10-10,442355,Roshan,"Alex was very accomodating! Had everything  set up, communicated well and let us know all the necessarily details for a smooth check in, check out and overnight stay. 

The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, easy parking and plenty of space! Would definitely stay with Alex again. 

Also, we tuned one of your guitars, hope you don't mind ;) "
4403427,22350581,2014-11-03,23192188,Tahn,"Willis Ponder is such an incredible host at The White Haton SoCo!  Our Airstream was furnished with amazingly plush linens on the bed and luxe towels for the bath.  The place is restored to near perfect condition and the location can not be beat!  We were one block from Jo's Coffee, The Continental Club, and the best shopping on South Congress!  The little grotto that the trailers sit in is landscaped with gorgeous tropical plants, nice stone work, a great gathering area to hang out in, and of course, the incredible White Hat rum that Willis and Miles make at their small batch distillery.  This place is exactly what makes Austin the best city to visit--authentic people who really care about what they do and where they live. "
4403427,23058672,2014-11-21,23967554,William,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4403427,25577030,2015-01-19,9841720,Joel,"The experience and accommodations  were amazing. Great location, environment & hosts! Glad we were able to stay here before it gets to well known..won't be surprised if this makes some travel TV hot spot in the near future! Perfect oasis hidden right on the confess in the heart of SoCo! "
4403427,26596291,2015-02-16,22457328,Debra,"We had a delightful stay at Willis' place. While everything inside the unit wasn't perfect, he more than made up for it by doing anything and everything he could do to make our visit a good one. I can't imagine feeling more welcomed by a host. He was there when we arrived (late at night!) and was always available to give us suggestions for things to do and to help in any way that he could. Thanks for helping make our visit to Austin a fantastic one!"
4403427,38229600,2015-07-13,19599569,Liz,"I loved Mile's place! It was in walking distance to shopping, coffee, and restaurants. The photos do not do the oasis he created justice! "
4403427,39098464,2015-07-20,29508121,T.L.,"The listing was very accurate and Miles was quite a gracious host. Right off the bat he offered me a beer, which to me is Texas hospitality at its finest. The Airstream was adorable and well-appointed. The bed was very comfortable but might not work well for someone much taller than I am (5'4""). If you're looking for something several steps up from camping (with A/C and plumbing) but something that's more ""roughing it"" than a hotel, this is perfect. The little ""trailer park"" Miles set up is lovely; there are a couple hammocks as well as a spacious patio that's perfect for drinking your morning coffee.  The location is also great, there are breakfast tacos, coffee bars and juice bars steps away, and the Travis Heights neighborhood off of South Congress is ideal for a morning run if you're so inclined. "
4403427,40038127,2015-07-27,17174157,Laiken,"Miles was extremely hospitable! He welcomed us with a nice local brew and chit chatted with us, giving us recommendations of places to check out within walking distance. The place was better than we'd imagined! Being in the heart of DT action, you felt somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle. The space was incredible, Miles has done a fantastic job decking it out. I've already recommended it to some friends planning a trip in October. Austin, you were too good to me - I will be back. "
4403427,40654085,2015-08-01,38787684,Alex,"We had a great experience, and it totally lived up to the hype from earlier reviews. Miles was extremely helpful in getting us set up, recommending places to go, etc. The location is extremely walkable. I'd definitely recommend staying here! "
4403427,42025059,2015-08-10,11608354,Gary,"First and foremost, Miles is a great host and the communication was very good throughout the process.  That said, there was a scheduling conflict and my wife and daughter did not have a chance to stay at the Oasis for their girls weekend.  Yes, I more than realize that the review is actually meant for staying but I was so impressed with Miles' level of  custom care it was certainly worth the review.  Miles notified us of the issue and compensated by accommodating my wife and daughter, on their girls weekend, at a grand and historic hotel downtown.  Miles communication was great and apologized numerous times.  Most AirBnB hosts would certainly have felt bad and apologized for the conflict but I would assume many would fall short of going the extra distance to ensure the girls weekend was in tact! Bottom line and based on this level of customer care, I would absolutely stay at the SOCO Downtown Oasis!   "
4403427,42790065,2015-08-15,8189438,Ellie,"My stay was awesome from beginning to end. Miles treated me like an old friend when I arrived, offering me a beer and a little tour of the perfectly decorated, funky airstream park. The location is great, especially if you want an authentic walkable/bikeable Austin experience. The airstream itself was clean & cozy--my friend and I had no issues with space. We spent our mornings swinging in the hammocks with our coffees. Overall, I highly recommend and will be back next time. Thanks Miles!!"
4403427,43724337,2015-08-21,26804690,Brock,"I was in Austin for business and stayed 1 night in the Land Yacht. Everything was great! The vibe was very relaxing and Miles was an excellent host. Probably the most comfortable RV bed I've slept in. 

I really enjoyed the Fireman's 4 on tap and listening to music on the patio! Great place!"
4403427,45749108,2015-09-05,477170,Lorissa,"I am a frequent Austin visitor and this is by far the best adventure ever.  Just steps to South Congress and all of the shops, restaurants and  fun.  After exploring all day, what a wonderful oasis to come home to.  It was like a hidden garden.   Definitely the coolest spot in Austin.  The host Miles was the nicest guy ever and took care of every detail to make sure  that my visit was just right.  It was fun to meet others staying there.  I really did not want to leave and will definitely return. "
4403427,46256827,2015-09-08,18568122,Felipe,"Whoa! This was hands down the most enjoyable and impressive AirBnB I have yet to stay in. Miles has gone out of his way to make this a true gem nestled in right on SoCo. The restored Airstreams are mint and super comfortable. The entire property is gorgeous and accommodating; so much so that its hard to leave! Each Airstream has its own small outside area; ours had two hammocks that were most enjoyable. The fact that there was good cold beer on tap was AWESOME! The beer is right next to the outdoor entertaining area complete with a big screen, surround sound, Netflix, and Apple TV. We had a stay in movie night that was absolutely perfect. In the morning I jumped on one of the brand new Giant bikes and cruised on down to Jo's for a couple of Iced Turbo coffees! These bikes are too kush and have built in cup holders and ride like gliding on clouds! 
Miles has truly out down himself. He was extremely nice, accommodating, flexible, and made sure to make himself available if needed! I highly recommend staying here if you can! This spot can't be beat!"
4403427,46562642,2015-09-11,3979068,Whitney,"The best place to stay in Austin! Perfect location, its like wandering into a secret little garden right in the city! Miles is such an excellent host, a great conversationalist, who makes you feel right at home! The airstream is the most adorable ever, slept better than I have in a long time! "
4403427,48435157,2015-09-26,477170,Lorissa,"My favorite place to stay in Austin TX.  Fun, comfortable, convenient, relaxing and COOL."
4403427,48962731,2015-09-29,21931708,Ashley,"Miles was extremely hospitable, even offering us a glass of wine after dinner. The courtyard is adorable and the beer on tap in the outdoor tv area ain't bad either! The only probable we had was the toilet and shower in our trailer. The toilet leaked contaminated water out from the base of the commode with each use. As a result, the trailer smelled like a port a potty, almost unbearable at times. We also did not have hot water for our showers. Some of the other trailers looked newer and nicer, so I'm assuming these problems were due to the older model of this airstream. "
4403427,50051656,2015-10-08,8211662,Adam,Miles accepted the reservation within an hour and I stayed the same day. Upon arrival he showed up immediately.  I have always had a thing for airstream's and the fact that there is a mini airstream park smack dab in the heart of Austin's main drag on South Congress is priceless.  The trailer itself was clean and had everything you would need.  There are tables for guests to congregate and relax.  During Miles responded to my question via text within minutes.  I will stay here again. It is an exciting place to be. My favorite Airbnb to date. Ideal for groups visiting who want to stay in a unique environment. There is nothing negative to say here. 
4403427,51549540,2015-10-21,44418412,Rebecca,"Words cannot explain how much we loved staying here! It's in an amazing location, literally in the heart of SOCO with it's quirky shops and amazing food trucks, and a short taxi ride from downtown 6th street ($6-7 in an Uber cab). Austin was exactly what we'd dreamed of, and this place was a little slice of heaven. A true Oasis. Liz was such a welcoming host, we couldn't have asked for anything more. All we wished is we were able to stay many many days longer - 1 day is categorically not enough! "
4403427,51844818,2015-10-24,46741616,Sharon,The neighborhood is ideal and Miles was a wonderfully accommodating host
4403427,53148645,2015-11-05,6897579,Marisa,I had a great experience staying at the urban oasis! Miles was very accommodating and friendly. I was there for work so I didn't get to hang out there as much as I would have liked but I would come back for vacation in a heartbeat!! 
1755240,8414398,2013-10-29,9316777,Zachary,"Unbelievable location and an extremely well kept unit with no clutter.  No kinks, and communicating with Ryan was easy at any point.  Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good location downtown with access to everything.  "
1755240,8542107,2013-11-04,9560388,Craig,"Ryan's place was exactly what we expected. It wasn't too fancy or nice, but had plenty of room for our group of 12. Ryan was extremely easy to communicate with, and had everything we needed to prepare for a great weekend in Austin. The location was perfect, and getting in and out of the complex/apt couldn't have been any easier. I would highly recommend staying with Ryan if you have a large group and want a great downtown location. "
1755240,9023052,2013-12-02,9509194,Kevin,"Awesome location and Ryan was exceptional host! He was quick to respond to inquiries and was helpful when we realized we had booked a place with no elevator - 2 of our 11 group had trouble with stairs for medical reasons but we managed! Was really my fault for not clicking on ALL the tabs in the desciption to find where the elevator is not checked on the amenities list.
Kitchen did not have everything needed - was missing large bowls, toaster, mixer, can opener, measuring cups, baking pans, kichen towels (except paper towels were provided), and potholders to remove anything from oven - made for some interesting challenges! The biggest item missing was coffee cups!
Plenty of beds for the 11 in our group (family ages 2 to 54) but not enough living or dining space for more than 5 or 6 people in one area - living room had one couch and one chair that seated 4 at most - there was one additional couch located in the balcony but not conducive to large group gatherings. The living and dining area are open to each other so we could sit 8-9 people and still see each other - just not so good for having conversations. For a condo that has very restrictive noise criteria, having a large drum with the two drumsticks on it in the middle of the Living Room with a 2 and 4 year old was a huge challenge - not to mention the bells hanging on the mirror above the fireplace.
Great place to stay if you are just sleeping and want to be close to everything! The fire station around the corner was also a busy one in the middle of the night! We stayed 4 nights - ran out of toilet paper on  second day with only 3 full rolls and 3 partial rolls for 11 people in 3 bathrooms. Weather happened to be in the 40's and 50's - the upstairs balcony got all the  heat and the three bedrooms downstairs got very little heat! There was a fireplace but nothing to burn in it. 
The Living Room TV had been wall-mounted where 2 built-in shelves were removed - the wall was never painted out to match. With 11 people, we also ran out of hot water fairly quickly with just showers - there is a oversized jetted tub upstairs that would drain the hot water heater for one person to use! All in all - was a great rental for the price and location - I would stay again and just know more of what to expect! Condo is probably more appropriate for groups just looking for a bed and always out somewhere else for meals and fun. With a few more of the missing details provided, I would definitely give this a 4 star!"
1755240,9219129,2013-12-14,10409066,L'Ree,"Ryan was the perfect host and made sure our every request was meet before, during and after our stay.  He accommodated our request and was easy to reach for any questions we had during our stay. The convenient location across from the convention center was perfect for our corporate hospitality suite. We look forward to working with Ryan for our future events in Austin! "
1755240,9551013,2014-01-02,6938908,Rizwan,Great Place and Location!  Ryan was very responsive to any issues.  If you have 10ish people just make sure to plan your showers so you don't have to take a cold one :)  
1755240,9853414,2014-01-14,2101951,Jex,"This was the second of our group's rentals from Ryan--and as promised, he was an excellent host! This location can't be beat and our group greatly enjoyed their stay being right downtown. "
1755240,9954280,2014-01-21,10591103,David,Ryan was great. When we got there he stuck around and helped us get the lay of the land as none of us had been to Austin. He also helped my friends with a couple of surprises and even hand delivered a package halfway through the weekend. The place was immaculate and it was comfortable for the whole basketball team. 
1755240,10261975,2014-02-10,5152129,Sandy,"Ryan is the perfect host! He was readily available throughout the whole trip just to ensure everything was going well for us. He responded promptly to all of our questions and immediately addressed any concerns that we had. For example, we thought one of the windows was broken because we could feel air coming through. I texted Ryan and he sent a maintenance guy right over to fix it. It turned out that the window wasn't closed all the way >_ Another example of Ryan's great customer service is when my friends arrived in Austin late Thursday night with a car rental that they decided to get at the last minute. The assigned parking was taken by another vehicle so I texted Ryan very late that night (around 1-2am) and he responded right away to address our problem. He even went above and beyond in helping us find good restaurants to eat for lunch/dinner. We loved his condo - it was fully equipped with almost everything we needed (there are no condiments...salt, pepper, cooking oil, etc). It was walking distance to all of the bars, clubs, restaurants, food trucks and touristy spots! We enjoyed our stay at Ryan's condo and would definitely rent his place again if we come back to Austin. I highly recommend Ryan - his hospitality made our experience in Austin all the better! :)"
1755240,10418494,2014-02-18,10471079,Alison,"Ryan was very much in contact with me thruout the booking/RSVPing/checking-in process. 

Most everything about the apartment was as described and as depicted in the photos, although my group felt the kitchen was a bit lacking in amenities. (Dont expect there to be as much as a spice rack nor spray for your cooking pan -- just plan ahead and bring in everything you'll think you'll need! We were also surprised to see a Keurig as opposed to a traditional coffee maker, and no tea kettle, but Starbucks is literally across the street (and Jo's a few blocks away) so we satisfied our fix that way.) Otherwise, beds were comfy, there were plenty of fresh towels to go around, etc.. Plenty of room for the 9 of us to stay without being on top of each other or fighting for the bathrooms. The living/dining area was large enough and had enough seating for us to gather together to eat.

The location can't be beat -- surrounded by food, drinks, and the downtown music scene. We were an industrious group and even made it deep into SoCo and over to the eastside of I-35 by foot.

Would definitely consider staying here again if the occasion arose!"
1755240,10532674,2014-02-24,628396,Winchell,"This condo was perfect for a long weekend in Austin. It was very well maintained with all the necessities provided. The 12 people staying at the condo were comfortable in the accommodations. There was a small issue with the water heater but Ryan was very quick in getting this resolved and taken care of.

This is the perfect location to walk to the bars on E. 6th and cabs were readily available across the street to take us anywhere we needed to go. The condo was a corner unit and had keyless entry that helped a lot for managing a large group of people.

Highly recommended."
1755240,10679096,2014-03-03,5961745,David,Stayed here for a long weekend. Great location and wonderful place! Would happily stay here again.
1755240,11177622,2014-03-24,12033494,Joe,"Me and my friends had a terrific time in Austin and in no small part to Ryan's condo that we rented. It was the perfect distance to the bars, Barton springs and even had a Starbucks across the street which we visited to recover in the morning. The condo was tidy and equipped with everything we needed for the weekend festivities. Additionally Ryan helped me with numerous recommendations and when a problem that we had in Austin came up he was in communication with us to resolve it. I would chose Ryan and his condo if and when I come back to Austin and would recommend it to anyone."
1755240,11342167,2014-03-31,9294559,Lauren,"Ryan was so helpful, accessible, and accommodating.  He helped take care of all the details the day before so that when we arrived, everything was very smooth. The condo was perfect - amazing location, clean, and comfortably slept our group of 10.  Everyone had a blast, and having such a great place to stay really made all the difference in our weekend. We will be back and we will be staying here again! Thank you,  Ryan! "
1755240,11528274,2014-04-07,8617228,Michael,Ryan was a great host and incredibly responsive and available at all times. The place is awesome for a large group and extremely centrally located. 
1755240,11989895,2014-04-21,11730834,Ryan,The house was incredibly clean when I arrived! It was awesome! Everyone on my trip was so impressed with the living arrangements. Great spot for an Austin getaway.
1755240,12267561,2014-04-28,11048590,Nora,"Ryan was a great host! The place was perfect for 8 girls. The house is in great condition and has enough room for everyone to have their own space. Ryan was very flexible with our check in and check out times which was a great help to us and our varying flight times.  It is a perfect location for walking to everything. If there was anything we could not walk to such as the Austin ""Welcome to Austin"" mural or the Barton Spring Pool the bus was only three blocks away and cost $1. "
1755240,12698462,2014-05-08,10111403,Jennifer,"Great experience! Ryan was very responsive and incredibly accommodating when I arrived in town a bit earlier than planned. The location can't be beat - you are within walking distance to hundreds of restaurants and bars. Note - this does mean that it's not totally silent at night. If you're a runner or want some nature time, you're 1/2 mile or less from great running by the river/lake. There is a great little balcony that is made fairly private by tall trees; perfect for reading outside, getting a bit of sun, etc. All but two of the bedrooms are very far from each other, so it's an ideal layout for having a bit of privacy/quiet from your travel party."
1755240,12814264,2014-05-12,12010458,Stephanie,"This place was amazing! I came to Austin for my sister's bachelorette with 11 other girls. We fit perfectly! Also,the location was ideal.  Everywhere we went was within a 10 to 15 minute walk (6th street and Rainey St as well as a ton of amazing restaurants) 
Ryan was wonderful to work with. He responded to questions in such a timely manner and ensured that we were set with everything we need.
I totally recommend this place!!! 

"
1755240,13645600,2014-06-02,5018242,Joe,"This is an awesome spot for a weekend trip with a group. It is central to a lot of great food, bars and six street. There is plenty of space for a big group to spread out. Next time I head back to Austin, I will certainly stay here again."
1755240,13955461,2014-06-09,13785727,Brandon,"Ryan was great to deal with, came with group of 11 and place was perfect, in a great location for what we were looking for, close to restaurants, bars, downtown etc."
1755240,15686085,2014-07-14,15868835,Tony,Great place in a great location! We had 8 guys and all fit nicely with 1 on the couch. The building often has people visiting for the weekend as we saw a couple other groups like us. Ryan and his associate Thomas were both prompt in responses and helpful. Would come back again.
1755240,16458082,2014-07-28,14726997,Sammi,"We absolutley LOVED Austin, and loved the condo experience.  Ryan provided us with information regarding airport shuttles, recommendations and even accomodated our group with an early check in.  The process was seamless!  I would recommend Ryan and this property to anyone!  "
1755240,16907900,2014-08-04,16638259,Jacquie,Ryan and Thomas were great to work with.  They were extremely flexible and accomodating for our large group.  They quickly responded to every question and even helped us bring our bags upstairs.  The apartment itself is beautiful and very well maintained.  We easily fit 11 people.  It is also in the perfect spot in Austin.  We walked across the street to do yoga and get coffee every morning and walked to amazing restaurants and bars every night.  I can't think of a better place to stay in Austin.   
1755240,18307722,2014-08-25,8033690,Melissa,Ryan was a great host! I stayed in this unit for a Bachelorette Party and it was absolutely perfect. The location is very convenient and the size comfortably fit a group of 12 girls for the weekend. I would definitely recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Austin 8-12 people. And the pool was a big plus in the Austin summer heat!
1755240,18891311,2014-09-02,17302633,Kent,"Our stay at the Austin Luxury Standard was stellar and working with both Ryan and Thomas was an absolute delight from the moment we booked all the way through check-out!

The space was spacious yet felt extremely cozy and is perfect for a group.  The condo is set-up much more like a hotel and they provide an ample number of towels, kitchenware, and more for use, which gave us the opportunity to stay in for breakfast when we weren't out for great Austin BBQ.

The condo's location is hard to beat as well! We walked to most attractions throughout the weekend - whether it was to take a bat cruise across the river or to head out for dinner/drinks on 6th street. At the same time, the availability of a parking space meant it was easy to have a car to take on longer trips outside of Downtown Austin as well.

Ryan also provided a plethora of suggestions for local dining, entertainment, and more - which helped to really supplement or even confirm some of our own choices throughout the weekend.

I would definitely recommend this to groups or large families who are looking for comfort, convenience, and a good overall experience. I have no doubt that I would stay here again for future Austin trips if it's available. 

Thanks for a fantastic experience!
"
1755240,19918797,2014-09-21,6933756,Juliana,Extremely organized and made the group feel very welcome. We will stay at any of Ryan's properties again! Highly recommended!
1755240,21577207,2014-10-20,13770298,Emma,"The standard is the perfect location in Austin, close enough to be able to walk to the all the bars and restaurants without being too close to the noise. The apartment was fantastic, plenty of room for all of us. Ryan provides the necessary toiletries and laundry detergent. Ryan was a great host, always available to answer any questions. One of the reasons we chose the standard was because of the pool, unfortunately the pool does not get sun in October but there were plenty of outdoor spaces in the city to go to relax. I would recommend the standard to anyone going to Austin! "
1755240,22353564,2014-11-04,9550902,Todd,GREAT location for our downtown needs.... able to walk EVERYWHERE. The unit was exactly as described/pictured. Clean with all the necessary amenities. 
1755240,22819611,2014-11-15,12176704,Andrew,"What a fantastic experience!! Just got back from a five week trip across the states and Austin was definitely a highlight. Ryan was incredibly kind, prompt and helpful with all aspects of the apartment and really helped to make sure that our group had a great time. Really wonderful place right in the heart of Austin. Cannot recommend it enough. Thanks so much to Ryan for having us and hope that others get to enjoy their time there as much as our group did!!! Thanks Ryan!!! "
1755240,22884328,2014-11-17,19697860,Noelle,A group of 8 of us rented Ryan's place out for a bachelorette party. The location could not have been more perfect. We didn't have to take a cab once the entire weekend and had it not been raining we wouldn't have even used our cars! There was PLENTY of room for all of us to sleep and get ready. The hosts were very responsive and available.
1755240,23078653,2014-11-22,1355431,Leor,"Ryan was easy to communicate with and gave excellent directions about how to access the condo. It was huge, clean and had everything we needed. The location was great! It is also easy to enter and exit as we just used a code for everything. "
1755240,23467672,2014-12-01,23894654,Robert,Perfect location. Plenty of room and decently furnished. One problem while we were there with the plumbing but the host was right on top of fixing it immediately. Definitely would use another one of his properties 
1755240,23688540,2014-12-08,22734020,Eddie,Ryan provided in-depth details and was very accomodating.  Great location and a great place to stay.  I will definitely recommend this place to anyone.
1755240,24594035,2014-12-31,334855,Amanda,My family and I (7 adults and 1 baby) stayed in this condo for 4 nights over the holidays. The location really can't be beat! You are in walking distance of so many restaurants and bars. There is a PF Changs and Uncle Julio's literally right down the block. There are basically 4 rooms because the loft space upstairs with the 2 beds is a huge space! All the beds were super comfortable and they had plenty of extra towels and linens. The parking space is right at the bottom of the stairs which was very convenient. Communication was excellent! The only downside was very slow wifi. Would definitely stay here again though and recommended this place to anyone thinking of staying in Austin! 
1755240,24931300,2015-01-04,3414105,Barrett Mann,"  A group of 6 stayed here over the New Year holiday and we all really enjoyed our stay. The location is great and the apartment has everything you need. The description is 100% accurate. We had a couple questions for Thomas while we were visiting, and he was super helpful and responded to our inquiries immediately. A plumbing issue was literally resolved within an hour of notifying him (on New Year's Eve!). Thanks Thomas and Jared! This is a great place for a group and it ends up being much more economical than booking individual hotel rooms. "
1755240,25593355,2015-01-20,23585059,Kimmy,"this was a great spot! we had a girls trip and this was the perfect condo and perfect location to walk everywhere. the beds are all comfy, the unit is extremely clean and all directions/instructions given beforehand were very helpful. the hosts were more than accommodating and would definitely recommend this listing to friends or stay here again when we go back to Austin. thanks so much!"
1755240,25790544,2015-01-26,23746816,Steve,"great location. the home was extremely clean and perfectly setup for our group. 

thank you ryan! "
1755240,26093578,2015-02-03,16460554,Erin,"We had a great experience at the Downtown Austin Luxury! Eight girls stayed in this sunny and funky apartment in the heart of Austin. The location was amazing - close to lots of things, and easy to get cars to other parts of the city. The Starbucks across the street was key.  The lack of keys to get into the house (codes only) was helpful with our large group. 

I worked with Jared mostly, who was incredibly warm and welcoming, and accommodating: he met us upon arrival and took our bags (we arrived before check-in), brought them up to the house, allowed a late check out, and helped us find the bus back to the airport. He really made us feel welcome and like he would help us with anything we needed. The house was freshly cleaned upon our arrival and we loved staying there!

"
1755240,26298387,2015-02-09,13310982,Peter,"My stay was perfect. We loved the house and the location could not get any better. It is walking distance to Rainey Street, 6th Street, hiking trails, the capital and has the Capital Metro airport bus stop at its front door. The home was spotless and Ryan was always available to answer any questions we had about the home or the city. Stop searching for another place to stay and book this home. You won't regret it."
1755240,26983354,2015-02-23,10544855,Jessie,"The hosts were very responsive and accommodating, and allowed us to check in early.  The welcoming email had all of the apartment information that we needed.  It also had a bunch of recommendations and suggestions for things to do around Austin, which was a great touch.  The apartment was spacious and clean, in an amazing location.  There was a bit of an issue with hot water, but nothing that would stop my friends and I from re-booking this apartment."
1755240,27320102,2015-03-02,13109917,Maite,"Celebrated my sisters engagement with a total of 9 ladies! Ryan and his business partner Thomas were great hosts. Though both offered their services whenever needed, we were able to navigate the property pretty well. The condo itself was gorgeous! Perfect for 9 but would have easily accommodated 2-3 more! Large space, comfortable beds, and full equipped bathrooms. Only complaint is that water was cold after 1-2 showers and with 9 made it brutal for the remaining. The property is on 4th and conveniently located in very short walking distance to everything! We used Uber and Lyft to get around town for areas outside of 6th street but spent most of our time on 6th and its surroundings. I highly recommend this property for prime location, amenities, and wonderful hosts! "
1755240,27537671,2015-03-07,3273970,Katie,"I booked this place for a cohort of coworkers who were attending a conference down the street. The apartments were well appointed and very comfortably furnished, and the owner was fantastic about allowing for flexible checkin. The one complaint we had was noise from the street, but that was an issue of proximity to popular bars than it was a defect of the apartment. We'd stay again, and I would recommend this spot."
1755240,27639555,2015-03-09,23911595,Tania,"This was my first experience using an airbnb.  Let me say that they know what they are doing!  The place was beautiful.  My girls and I had a wonderful time.  The crew at the Standard was incredibly  accomidating, respectful, and kind.   They were incredibly helpful, and quick to assist with anything I needed.   Check in/out, parking, adventure, anything you needed! Thank you for helping make this trip a wonderful experience for all of us!  The place was perfectly located in the heart of downtown! I have very high standards from now on!"
1755240,29809861,2015-04-13,31064,Sara,"Ryan was a fantastic host!  We just came back from Austin where we were celebrating a friend's bachelorette party.  From the first time I contacted him he could not have been more helpful and responsive.  It made the whole planning process very easy on my end.  The condo itself was very nice, clean and in a great location.  We could pretty much walk to everywhere we had planned to go.  There was also more than enough space for a group of 12 people.  If I ever go back to Austin I will definitely stay either here or another one of Ryan's properties!"
1755240,31091025,2015-05-02,1401769,Henry,"Ryan and his staff were very attentive to any concerns we had.  This is a unique place, as is the entire condo complex.  It is right in the middle of everything, surrounded by hotels, bars and restaurants.  We could not have been happier with the location and the hospitality provided by Ryan and his staff.  Take the bus from the airport and forget about getting a rental car.  You will not need it because Ryan's condo is right in the middle of everything.  We were at this location for four nights and it was great.  "
1755240,31873933,2015-05-11,26756419,Ronald,Ryan was a great host.  He was very communicative in advance of our stay and the instructions on how to access the unit and work everything inside were very detailed.  The location of the unit is fantastic.  We walked most everywhere we went for dinner and entertainment.  We also had a car and the parking spot was a plus.  Despite being right in the center of everything the unit was not noisy.  Everything in the apartment was comfortable and well appointed.  The only negative is that the common area was a little small for hanging out.  We checked out the swimming pool in the complex but didn't use it as it was small and not that inviting a place to hang out.  Unfortunately one of the three bathrooms in the unit was out of service due to a plumbing issue that could not be fixed before we arrived.  Ryan made it up to us by giving us a credit and was very responsive and understanding.
1755240,33222199,2015-05-26,26224147,Rachel,"The place was great!  Fantastic location, very comfortable, and couldn't have been easier to navigate from.  We had absolutely no problems and everything was as described.  Ryan and the staff were great!"
1755240,35074324,2015-06-15,29826469,Emily,"This place was great and was exactly what we needed for our weekend in Austin! The location was perfect, right downtown, and having an electronic door lock was very convenient for the group. We worked with Thomas during our stay and he was really nice, very helpful, and accommodating. He let us keep our bags in an office until our unit was ready, which was really helpful considering some of us flew in hours before the check in time . Overall, we had a great time in Austin and feel very fortunate to have stayed at such a great place! "
1755240,35471924,2015-06-19,23191264,Matt,Great place and location! 
1755240,36272756,2015-06-27,23179945,Stephanie,"The flat was very comfortable and suited us well for the purpose of our stay.
We felt very welcome and the flat was clean and tidy.
Thanks for hosting us Ryan."
1755240,36503208,2015-06-29,13125682,Russell,"I booked the Downtown Austin Luxury loft for my brother's bachelor party, and it was the perfect choice. The loft is just as awesome as it appears in the listing and it is walking distance from all the best bars / restaurants. We had a small group (only 6 people), but the loft could very comfortably sleep up to 12.

Most importantly, Ryan and his team (Thomas, Jared) were incredibly welcoming and flexible in terms of check-in / check-out and bag storage.

I highly recommend the experience!"
1755240,37280733,2015-07-06,4647932,Brandon,"All around excellent Airbnb experience!!!  Ryan was a great host.  He always responded quickly and gave great directions and suggestions.  Check-in was a breeze.  We had a party of 10 of us staying at the place and you cannot pick a better location in downtown Austin.  2 blocks from the central part of 6th Street and a less than 15 min walk from Rainey St.  Place was spacious even for 10 ppl.  Beds were comfortable, especially the king in the master bedroom.  Showers were stocked with shampoo/soap.  We are already making plans to book this place again next year!"
1755240,37716760,2015-07-09,15010466,Raul,Immaculate place just as described. Perfect location. Superb communication. It shows he is an Airbnb Superhost!
1755240,38981512,2015-07-20,28021200,Maria,"We felt so at home staying at this amazing condo.  It was a great location and the lock system was easy for a large group.  Also, tons of beds and the three bathrooms were helpful with 12 girls!  The location was perfect, we were able to walk to the bars, restaurants, and the river.  The pool on the property is really small though so I would not plan to really hang out there unless you are by yourself. Overall two thumbs up! "
1755240,39913051,2015-07-27,9689045,Meredith,"Perfect place for a big group of people near 6th Street. Ryan was very accommodating: we asked to arrive early the day before and, even though it was last-minute, were allowed to check-in early. Everything in the condo was clean and new. Small touches like toiletries, ice and strong AC made this place even better. Would highly recommend! "
1755240,40363945,2015-07-30,37999558,James,Brilliant apartment and very centrally located. I really couldn't recommend it more. Ryan was a brilliant host and helped us with all our needs as well as providing all the information we could ever need for staying in Austin. 
1755240,41917501,2015-08-10,26095370,Caroline,Ryan was fantastic during our stay! The loft was perfect for a group of girls in Austin celebrating a bachelorette party. It was clean and comfortable and the location couldn't have been better. I would highly recommend staying here for a trip to Austin!
1755240,42588487,2015-08-14,6618204,Ross,This is a very spacious unit that will make any group of travelers feel right at home. We stayed here with a group and absolutely loved the layout and decor! The location of the unit put us right in the heart of downtown Austin which gave us plenty of time to explore the city. Ryan was a great host and checked on us throughout our stay. Highly recommended place and host. 
1755240,46115385,2015-09-08,571369,New,"Ryan and his property manager, Thomas, were incredibly prompt and responsive with any questions that I had prior to this trip. The spaces were perfect for a weekend away with a group of girlfriends. Convenient, clean and stylish!

The location couldn't be better for getting around downtown Austin. Shops, restaurants, bars and workout classes were all within an arm's reach. We loved our time and stay here at Ryan's apartment!"
1755240,49906121,2015-10-07,27862226,Hayley,We loved our Airbnb stay in unit #313! It was the best!
1755240,52955162,2015-11-03,29000388,Rose,"This is an awesome property right in the heart of downtown Austin. So that mkaes it very easy to get around whether you are walking, taking a bus or taxi. The pictures show everything very well. It was perfect for our group of 8. When we arrived a little early Thomas was there in a couple minutes to let us in. Any time I called him with a question he was so helpful and prompt."

She has a nice dog, called Bender, he made me company while I was cooking. 

If you need to go to Austin, just don't think twice, Brittany's house is located in a nice neighbourhood, close to the bus stop and again she is very cool. 

Go for it. 

Cheers!!! "
966382,11026752,2014-03-17,10816343,Charles,"We came out for Austin's SXSW and it was our first time using airbnb.  Brittany's accommodations made the while experience easy, comforting and seamless.  Everything was as expected and if I'm ever in Austin again, I'll be looking up Brittany's place."
966382,16800187,2014-08-02,18524564,Mandy,"Brittany was a spectacular host!  She was very flexible with check-in/out times, and her home was absolutely adorable and well-maintained.  The extra bonus: her friendly and hilarious dog Bender.  "
966382,21577702,2014-10-20,17945205,Jordan,"Incredibly friendly hostess with her charming dog. Her house is very clean and cozy with a lovely garden. Had a great time staying there, would definitely pick her house again."
966382,22380395,2014-11-04,2729894,Terry,"Brittany was a great host, very accommodating. Her dog, Bender, is a great host too! House was just as described and amenities were great. "
966382,27530690,2015-03-07,14955006,Joseph,Great experience. Brittany was extremely nice and inviting. Not to far from downtown and had an easy commute to UT. I would absolutely stay with her again.
966382,28010388,2015-03-16,12404198,Tiffany,"Brittany was super sweet and accommodating. The place was clean, quiet, and it was easy to come and go. Space for parking was not ideal, but it wasn't a huge issue. I would recommend it to others!"
966382,28304856,2015-03-22,26220953,Roisin,"Our experience was great! Although we did not end up seeing Brittany that often as we were on different schedules, she made us feel very welcome. She gave us a welcome pack that was very helpful and answered all our questions about the house. The house was really clean and tidy, which was really nice to come home to. I would definitely recommend staying with Brittany if you're traveling to Austin. 
 "
966382,30785439,2015-04-27,28687505,Kris,"Brittany was welcoming and not usually there.  She sent a welcome packet of information that was useful.  If I had a question, she answered it.  I took a class for a month so I was hardly there as well.  She has a friendly dog.  It took me about 20-30 minutes depending on traffic to drive to UT from the house.  Great experience because of host and I would generally recommend."
966382,33918638,2015-06-02,2335838,Newton,"This is really an awesome little house. It embodies everything special about east Austin's character and is clean, well kept and unique to boot. Brittany and her dog Bender are two of friendliest hosts and you'd be hard pressed to find a much cooler place of this value."
966382,43932518,2015-08-23,35809188,Julie,"Brittany immediately made me feel welcome in her home!  I stayed for one month and the place quickly felt like my second home.  The pictures are accurate, the house is clean, and the neighborhood is friendly and quiet!  Parking was not an issue.  Bender (her dog) is very sweet and never barked!  This is an excellent place to stay and I would definitely recommend it to a friend!"
966382,46189214,2015-09-08,35439533,Diana,"Brittany was a great host! She made us feel welcome and offered great advice on transportation to downtown Austin. Her pup, Bender, was also the sweetest dog imaginable, we had a great time with him. The house was very clean, I also have a dog that sheds a lot and know how hard it can be to keep a home close to immaculate, and she definitely did a great job! Given the chance, I would book with Brittany again :)"
966382,47866682,2015-09-21,33498786,Irene,"My boyfriend and I went on a weekend trip to Austin and we absolutely LOVED Brittany's place. It is nice, clean, and very comfy. It is in a great location and is close to the lake as well as downtown. Bender is also sweet company! We took our dog with us and she got along well with our doggie host. :) We would definitely stay here again. "
966382,49776136,2015-10-06,40048093,John,"Stayed with Brit and Bender for the Austin City Limits Festival.  We could pretty much get anywhere in the city in a 10-15 minute Uber ride.  Brit gave us awesome suggestions around town that we loved checking out.  She's a sweetheart and I highly recommend staying with her.  Bender, her dog just makes everything better!  Cool place, great hosts!"
966382,50921001,2015-10-16,35994003,Ella & Fiona,"Brittany was the perfect host, her house was lovely and super clean. We didn't see her because she was very busy but when we did she was always helpful and accommodating. Her dog bender is also the nicest dog, super quiet and cute!"
966382,52237070,2015-10-27,44506653,Michael,"Stayed at The Beehive for 3 nights during the USGP and had an excellent stay. The place is clean and cozy, Bender is super friendly and non-intrusive. The location is excellent for anyone with a car (as with most of Texas it's a bit of a trek to get any where). 

I would highly recommend this place and will definitely check in if there is room for me next time I'm in Austin.

Thanks a lot Brittany!"
966382,52940032,2015-11-02,149466,Hale,"Brittany was delightful. Being my first Airbnb experience sharing space with a host, I was curious how it would go. Brittany made us feel right at home, provided a key for unrestricted access, and was very generous with her home. Super communicative and helpful during area flash flooding, and very flexible accommodating with our dog. Everything was great!"
6730404,36346147,2015-06-27,21303422,Sierra,"Ms. Andrea was very nice, considerate & helpful. Her house is very artsy & cozy, perfect place to relax & catch up on rest. "
6730404,37707500,2015-07-09,35411996,Katy,I had a seriously great stay in Austin thanks to AnDreas flexibility. The apartment had all the essentials and a great energy that you just don't find at hotels. The neighborhood was nice and parking was convenient. I honestly couldn't have asked from anything more from the host during my stay.
6730404,38055697,2015-07-12,37438890,Hillary,"AnDrea was awesome and very accommodating. We were due to check out on Sunday by 3 PM as we requested her, but she allowed us to checkout later at 6 PM. We kayaked for 6 miles so requested a later check out time to shower and was running late, but she was so generous and flexible to extend the time. The establishment was also cozy, great comfortable bed, and contained unique arts and crafts if you are into that kind of stuff. Her place really made us love Austin and the people MORE. Totally recommend her place for future stays :-)"
6730404,38916467,2015-07-19,37692886,Karen, Great place!  PERFECT location!!!  AnDrea's instructions were easy to follow and we had everything we needed at our disposal.  Such a cool and funky space!!!
6730404,41380630,2015-08-07,35337701,Jenna,"AnDrea's place was great! It's cozy and the location is PERFECT. The only 'downsides' were that there is no microwave, which was not a big deal at all, and the toilet takes a couple tries to actually flush. But again, this was not a deal breaker at all. AnDrea always responded within an hour if I ever had a question. All in all, I highly recommend AnDrea's home!"
6730404,48615934,2015-09-27,11607467,K,This is a great little spot right in Hyde Park - an adorable part of Austin. Andrea was very hospitable and the place was very cozy! Would highly recommend if you're looking for a simple crash pad loaded with Austin funk. 
6730404,50272055,2015-10-11,35884129,Will,"Andrea's place was great! Location was a quick ride to anything we wanted to see/eat! 

Would stay again 100%"

4453016,24313096,2014-12-25,24910143,Adam,"What a fantastic first experience both in Austin, and with airbnb!  The location is perfect, walkable to everywhere, and the air streams were great.  Will was the perfect host, friendly and responsive.  He went above and beyond in helping us host a bbq, offering bikes to use, screening a movie, and giving recommendations.  We will visit Austin again, and of course will stay here again!"
4453016,25120153,2015-01-06,16868454,Rachael,"Will was a great host, easy to communicate with even with us booking last minute! The airstream itself was awesome, soft bedding, comfortable, plenty of towels, fridge, coffee maker..very nice setup, including the outside. All exactly like pictures posted. The location was great, could walk to everything. Would definitely stay at Will's again, I nice getaway from the norm. "
4453016,25605154,2015-01-20,6715625,Michael,"I have stayed at a few Airbnb homes over the last couple years, and I will say that Will is probably the best host I have come across.  First, the accommodations were great.  The airstream was such a fun place to stay in, and the little community of trailers Will has set up is really unique.  Will was on hand and very helpful with recommendations for things to do around Austin as well.  We felt like a part of the family during our stay, it was really amazing.  I can't say enough kind words, and recommend staying in one of Will's rentals enough.  Don't pass on this opportunity!"
4453016,26321838,2015-02-09,23396062,Meagan,"We had such a great time in this little silver bullet! My husband and I were only in Austin for two nights for a quick get away, so this little guy was perfect for us because we intended to spend most of our trip out an about. It's small, but incredibly cozy, and surprisingly comfortable! It was very clean and welcoming up our arrival. This trailer is part of a small ""park"" with four other trailers that are in their own little oasis. The site is centrally located, but set away from the street, and within walking or biking distance of a lot of classic Austin locations. It's such a unique little place-- ""pinterest worthy"" you might say, which made it all the more enjoyable for us. Will and his dad are also incredibly friendly guys and very helpful with any needs we might have had (very few in our short stay!). I'd recommend this or any of the other trailers to anyone-- especially for group events. 
"
4453016,26473720,2015-02-13,5952150,Jeremy,"Cozy, inviting 'trailer park' in a great location on South Congress. Willis has thought of everything as he builds out a 5 airstream trailer oasis in the heart of Austin. There's a great camping vibe with an outdoor fire pit and hammocks but touches of modern life including an outdoor media room and strong wifi. Great for groups and fun for business.  Really enjoyed it!"
4453016,26680056,2015-02-17,18046907,Jessica,Will and his dad were very welcoming and their place is awesome! The Airstream was comfortable and their patio area and cooler full of drinks was much appreciated. They were so friendly and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do around town. The location also can't be beat -- right on S. Congress and a short walk from Downtown.  I would definitely consider staying here again next time in Austin.
4453016,29244155,2015-04-05,30358777,Andrea,"The owner of this little hideaway off of Congress Avenue is very accommodating,helpful and excited about his new and unique airstream complex!   Five Airstream rv's surrounded by quaint grounds and an outdoor tv area with Apple and direct tv is purfect for a family or business gathering!  Willis was very helpful and more than happy to assist in anyway!  The Airstreams are very clean and offer all the comforts of home!  Something very different within walking distance of everything on Congress Avenue!  Ample parking - hidden yet so close to all!   "
4453016,30465960,2015-04-22,30158620,Laura,"Exceptionally welcoming. Location was perfect. Nice secluded spot to relax with friends but still only moments away from all the soco action. Nice, clean and modern but not at all stuffy. Love the Texas hospitality."
4453016,33492474,2015-05-29,370111,Kristen,"This was an awesome place to stay, and I'm so glad we chose to stay in this neighborhood too.

We did hit a snag in our first night - I'm not totally sure what happened, but one of the other guests ended up staying an additional night in the trailer we had booked. To make up for it, Willis put us up in the Hyatt our first night and gave us $100 in credit to use for food & booze there. Then he upgraded us to a bigger trailer once it was ready. We felt taken care of and had no other issues during our stay. (Although I wouldn't call staying in the Hyatt an issue!)

Awesome neighborhood, in walking distance of everything in South Congress and the Bat Bridge. Willis and his dad had some great food recommendations for us too, including Franks downtown, which had an amazing bacon Bloody Mary. Definitely hit up the taco truck down the street on South Congress for breakfast tacos too! I hope to be back again soon."
4453016,37924958,2015-07-11,11214503,Charlie,Great time in a great location & Miles was super helpful
4453016,38573645,2015-07-16,8039342,Dave,The stay was amazing and I wish I could have extended my trip!  At the last minute I had to stay an extra night in Austin and Miles was very responsive and accommodating   The space and location are quintessential Austin.  All of my friends were jealous   I walked easily down Soco and got ice cream and drinks    This is where in putting up my visitors when I move to ATX!
4453016,38788944,2015-07-18,4349514,Alex,We had an amazing time at Miles' airstream park. Miles is super friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is great. Definitely will stay here again. 
4453016,39234643,2015-07-21,9656304,Beth,Miles was a very generous host and he went out of his way to make us feel comfortable. We enjoyed our stay at his property. 
4453016,39552546,2015-07-24,36280773,Amy,"Miles was extremely welcoming and friendly. He made sure everything was good with the trailer, and yes the A/C works well! We had a great time talking to him and visiting with his friends. The patio area is a nice place for relaxing and hanging out (although we were busy seeing the sights and didn't have much time leftover to spend on the property). We would happily stay here again if/when we visit Austin again. "
4453016,39880693,2015-07-26,5941816,Tom,"Miles was an excellent host. He greeted us upon our arrival, offered us cold drinks, and was very attentive throughout our stay. The Airstream, arranged neatly in a hidden, shady garden environment, was very comfortable for my daughter and me. I would recommend for anyone interested in a unique lodging experience. "
4453016,40021094,2015-07-27,692439,Diego,Checking in was painless and easy.  Miles showed us the surrounding area and how to operate all the equipment in the airstream.  had a great time.  i would only say that the airstream bed was a tighter squeeze than we thought  for two but its liveable.  Great location.
4453016,40281214,2015-07-29,2739785,Vaughn,We stayed at the airstream park for 3 nights. We loved it. It was not only well located but secluded and felt safe. We loved the communal areas and took naps in the hammocks one afternoon.  
4453016,46154973,2015-09-08,16070577,Maria,The listing was accurate and in reality it was even better than j had imagined.

4453016,47586114,2015-09-20,22089061,Randy,Just as described.  a cozy camper in an interesting little courtyard right in the middle of town.  no problems at all
4453016,48365012,2015-09-25,19164729,Laura,"Satoko and I loved our visit. It was such a charming little set up, with wine, beer, soft music playing in the background. Think urban glamping. :) You had your choice of chilling in the hammock, hanging out on the stone patio while grilling choice meat/veggies, or lounging in the outdoor theater area. Miles was very helpful in guiding us to great restaurants and things to do in the area. Highly recommend a visit to this part. "
4453016,49222044,2015-10-02,894874,Brian,"Miles has created a fantastic and unique place to stay in the heart of Austin. You can bike about anywhere in under 15 min. I had a great time hanging out with Miles in the evening drinking wine and chatting about a wide range of topics. 

Highly recommended for those who like something a bit unusual.
"
4453016,49963440,2015-10-07,5640633,Michael,"What a great stay! Awesome location, close to restaurants and coffee shops as I was in town for work. A must see is Barton Springs a 15 min ride via bikes (included) to enjoy a fresh water swim as well as great amenities on property that made the experience very accommodating. Miles made the last minute reservation very easy! A really unique and one of a kind experience in Austin staying in a restored Airstream from 1960. Will definitely be back!"
4453016,51070389,2015-10-17,45898716,Morgan,"This airstream park was the most adorable place I've ever stayed. Although it was right off of South Congress, it still seemed quiet and hidden. Miles and Liz did an excellent job of accommodating me and making sure I felt comfortable. I will most definitely be back."
4453016,51442886,2015-10-20,24619070,Kellie,"Miles was out of town when we traveled into Austin, but Lis was there to greet us and she was so wonderful. We rented the Flying Cloud and the Globe Trotter airstream trailers. The airstream park is super cute and they even offered us beer on tap on the outside patio during our stay! What a nice surprise. We also toured the house that is available to rent and it was gorgeous. I highly recommend this gem and it's in the heart of the very cool SOCO area of Austin. My daughter Maren was in town opening for Loretta Lynn at ACL Live and this added to her unique & memorable Austin experience while she was there."
4453016,51771036,2015-10-24,11601807,John,"Perfect, as advertised!  This little Airstream park is an oasis in a great location.  Great hosts made sure the stay was smooth and happy.  "

The location of the house is excellent 8 bucks  uber ride to 6th street , 5 min walking to the beautiful Zilker park and if  you rent or bring your bike(best way to explore Austin)  you will easily get around Zilker park,So-Co, Barton Springs, and Downtown. The house is nice and clean, and the neighborhood it's beatiful. You can relax and chill at the porch or take a nap on the hammock. Gracias por todo Dana!
Luis M.

  This is my dream house. I stayed for just a weekend and I felt in love with it. It has everything I could ask for.I could imagine living the rest of my life there. The neighborhood is what it makes it a great place to be. Quiet and friendly.I had one of the best moments of my life and Dana is the sweetest and hottest host you can meet.Hope to  be back soon!

2663425,17287350,2014-08-10,1122108,Andrew,This big house is a lovely old mansion on the Colorado river (the locals call it the town lake). We had a team offsite there an it worked well for us but was less than we expected. The house is in need a some TLC and the pictures don't really show the true condition. Bathrooms (not pictured) are older. The kitchen is OK but not stocked enough for 14 (although we were only 7) and lacked enough cooking  utensils (even missing a large knife to cut with). Gardens need some work.
2663425,17834633,2014-08-18,9130884,Peter,"Had a great stay.  The host had a person handyman come by and fix an A/C unit that went out within hours of asking.  

The house is straight forward, close to downtown, Barton Springs, etc.  Perfect for a large group needing individual bedrooms.  "

4023271,24993721,2015-01-04,7608459,Casey,"Jeremy and Lena were great!  While we didn't get to meet them in person, Jeremy was very responsive and helpful via text.  The house was lovely and looked just like the pictures.  I love this neighborhood in Austin!  Close enough to walk to UT's campus and some great restaurants (e.g. Trudy's and Spider House).  It was also an inexpensive uber downtown.  We had a great time on our trip and are so grateful to Jeremy and Lena for allowing us to stay in their home! "

4121482,24395505,2014-12-27,6147946,Sehba,"My family and I had a lovely stay in Anna's town home. We didn't give her much notice to prepare for our two-night stay, but she still managed to get her home ready for us. She also very generously made all her refrigerated items available for us. The location was central and her home was well-stocked with almost everything we needed for our short stay. We enjoyed the experience!"
4121482,24776588,2015-01-02,593259,LeQuia,Anna's place was better in person! The neighborhood is very new and safe. The house was very clean and was fully equipped with anything one may need for the stay. The distance to downtown was very reasonable and overall we had a great time. Anna was quick to respond from the beginning to end and I would definitely recommend her place. 
4121482,25613323,2015-01-20,14364011,Tracy,"I have nothing to complain about as my 5 guests and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anna's rental. I booked it for my 30th birthday and was coming in from NYC and my friends came in mostly from Houston. Prior to checking in, Anna was quick to respond to any questions I had and gave very specific instructions from how to get to the rental to how to properly unlock/lock the door. When I first arrived, there was a Welcome note in the kitchen table with all the information my guests and I needed for our stay. The place was clean and exactly as described, and it was nice that towels and some toiletries were provided. It was such a great experience to be able to share the place with my friends rather than us having to rent 2-3 hotel rooms, which enabled us to spend a lot of time together in one place (and definitely saved us some money)! We felt comfortable and homey, especially gathering around the couch/kitchen area watching some football and movies and enjoying some drinks. My friends who slept on the couch said it was very comfortable! The area itself was closer to downtown Austin than I expected, just under a 10 minute drive without traffic, so it was so convenient when we wanted to go back and forth to downtown to eat and go out at night. The neighborhood is in a very beautiful area near a shopping strip that had a huge HEB (grocery store) and good eats like Torchy's Tacos!"
4121482,25809681,2015-01-26,25693129,Gautam,"Had the best stay at Anna's house. Everything was top notch. She was very flexible with arrival/departure times and was very prompt and courteous with her responses. The house itself was amazing, had all the amenities. Rooms were clean and big. House had multiple gaming consoles, a big tv, nice sound system and we had a blast spending the weekend there. Will definitely come back again and book with Anna!"
4121482,26320529,2015-02-09,26488635,Kaitlynn,"My experience was great! The house was very clean and organized. Anna left a very detailed note suggesting where to get food, welcomed me to use anything in the kitchen, and contact information if I have any questions. The neighbor looked new and modern. It took less than 10 minutes to travel downtown. I will definitely be back to Austin soon and staying at Anna's house is at the top of my list!"
4121482,27012140,2015-02-23,24380958,Elise,"Anna was very welcoming and informative! The house was just as described and was very comfortable. There was information laid out about Austin and about the neighborhood, and everything was ready for our visit. It could not have been a better experience! We had a great weekend celebrating a birthday and anniversary!"
4121482,27357840,2015-03-02,14159636,Colleen,Anna's home was lovely! Great location and neighborhood. The weather didn't cooperate fully with us but we still had a blast. It was roomy enough to fit 5 of us comfortably. We will definitely come back and stay in the future. 
4121482,28388880,2015-03-23,26331370,Azumi,"Anna's house was very comfy and homy. She had all the things prepared for our stay and made us feel at home more than ever! Location was superb, neighbours quiet, lovely beddings, good shower pressure...we couldn't ask for more! When the breaker gone down, Anna replied to our text in an instant and even stopped by to fix it! The key pad entry really helped us a lot to get around SXSW individually and come back home when we wanted when 4 of us were staying. Hope to come back next year ;)"
4121482,28833652,2015-03-30,29585934,Zeke,We loved staying here! From the moment we walked in it felt like we were home. The neighborhood is fantastic and everything you need is in walking distance. It's not far from downtown either which was nice too. The townhouse itself is very nice for the price and we will definitely be coming back!
4121482,34480538,2015-06-08,26955476,Roland,I loved the home it was close to everywhere in Austin that we needed to go. Anna and Scott were great host and I for surely would love to stay there again.
4121482,35248544,2015-06-16,5580543,Lisa,This was a beautiful condo and the location was very convenient.  Wonderful experience in every way.
4121482,36548453,2015-06-29,2110274,Carl,"Everything was as described, but if you want to watch TV, you will not want to stay here. Intermittent interruptions and poor picture quality made for difficult viewing.  "
4121482,39096991,2015-07-20,38123124,Preyan,"We had an exceptional time staying at Anna's property. The house was very clean and the location was great. Everything was nicely organized and prepared upon our arrival. The only thing I could think of that could be a con was that using the downstairs bathroom and having the front door opened led to some difficulties exiting the bathroom. The bathroom and front door handles would overlap and create a lock to where the person using the restroom could not exit without help. It was quite comical the first time we noticed this and one of the guests got ""stuck."" Overall we would definitely recommend this property to anyone interested in staying in Austin. We truly felt as if we were ""home"" during our stay. "
4121482,40974823,2015-08-03,5714869,Mayra,"Our group of 6 really enjoyed our stay. It was a true home away from home. Quiet neighborhood,  great location. Everything we needed for a weekend getaway!"
4121482,42047153,2015-08-10,7166693,Philip,"Anna's place was perfect for our group of 6. The location was safe and quiet, and not too far away from what we wanted to do. The townhouse itself is cozy and very clean. Amenities were provided for us and was well stocked. Anna was very helpful and responded promptly to any questions we had. Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Austin, TX!"
4121482,44196816,2015-08-24,14487608,Toan,The townhouse was situated in such a cute neighborhood! It's also extremely close to so many food locales and a HEB. The house was was so clean and comfortable too. We are definitely staying here next time we come to Austin 
4121482,47676606,2015-09-21,39393383,Primor,My 5 friends and I loved staying here. Everything was as described and the location was perfect. The house is very clean and organized. I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin. 
4121482,49704724,2015-10-05,2429257,Ross,Great place about 20 min from Zilker Park. Stayed for ACL and would stay again. Very comfortable couches!
4121482,52083517,2015-10-26,2692188,Kyleigh,The house was great!  The perfect size and location for a weekend away.  
2057533,20922641,2014-10-07,3354085,Shaun,Jami was an exceptional host.  Her place was clean and comfortable.  She was very easy to communicate and coordinate our trip with.  We would definitely recommend her!
2057533,49820862,2015-10-06,37169167,Megan,We rented for acl and was perfect! Just took a lyft to get closer! Apt was cleaned out and worked well with us! 
2057533,50510592,2015-10-12,43734244,Chelsea,"Jami was really understanding and was always really helpful. She did a great job of following up with us and making sure we were okay. We enjoyed our stay and would love to stay there again.
The neighborhood was convenient and quiet (and also across the street from a lot of great places to eat and shop)"
2216386,10846193,2014-03-10,2364767,Andrea,"Shannon's house felt like a home-away-from-home, and our 17-month daughter was overjoyed by the presence of toys in the house--all neatly put away when we arrived, I might add, though she soon got them spread over all creation. Comfortable beds, great dining area and a feeling of warm generosity suffused the place. Enjoyed every minute. Ideal for families or two couples on a hipster getaway. Only complaint after my time in Austin is now my pants are too tight. So many amazing restaurants!"
2216386,11005258,2014-03-17,6205445,Gabriel,"We had a great stay at this house, neighbourhood was lovely and the house was perfect. Lots of great local tips and information left by the hosts as well which was really useful. Took us a while to work out how to use the heating/aircon but apart from that no issues at all. "
2216386,26349061,2015-02-09,27108087,Kaveh,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2216386,30210880,2015-04-19,418668,Peter,"House was charming and we really enjoyed the living spaces - indoor and out! Great neighborhood with a tree-lined street and pretty convenient to downtown Austin and East Side. 

Only minor complaint would be that the cleaners came before our ""check-out"" time, which caused for some unneeded rush / stress, but otherwise a fine stay for our whole family."
1278532,6093608,2013-07-29,7660722,Justin,This place was great. Was able to cook some great meals in the well set up kitchen and do some laundry before leaving. Everything is nice and new and well thought out for guests. Crystal was great with having everything ready and responded very quickly to all messages. I highly recommend this property and Crystal for anyone looking to stay in Austin.
1278532,6207555,2013-08-03,424546,Erin,"My boyfriend and I had the perfect stay at Crystal's super-cute craftsman guest cottage. We've lived in East Austin before, and Crystal's guest cottage is the ideal base for exploring all of our favorite East Austin haunts like Takoba, Vintage Heart (best. coffee. house. ever.) and Qui. Plus, it's minutes from Town Lake, Whole Foods, Rainey Street bars and my personal South Austin fave Soup Peddler. The keyless entry makes check-in/check-out super easy and allowed for convenient access when my boyfriend and I were doing our separate things during the day. We checked in here after a long road trip from California, and it the amazing bathroom, huge washer/dryer, and super comfy bed we're just what we needed. If you're visiting Austin, this is THE place to stay!"
1278532,6310289,2013-08-07,7636205,Misha,"Crystal's Guest Cottage was located close to downtown and convenient to all amenities. We had no issues finding her recommendations, and she also makes personal lists to cater to the guest. Crystal was very responsive throughout our stay, and made sure we had everything needed for an amazing visit. Her Cottage is new, and provides a full kitchen with very comfortable living space. I would highly recommend this Guest cottage, or anyone of her other properties. Will absolutely plan another visit with Crystal."
1278532,6810078,2013-08-26,6942502,Beth,"Crystal's home was amazing. The location was perfect, the house was spotless, and Crystal left personalized recommendations for our group as well as complementary beverages. I cannot imagine a more affordable way to stay in comfort at a great location in Austin."
1278532,7038100,2013-09-04,1878183,Sarah,"We absolutely loved our stay in Crystal's cottage! The place was perfect for a long weekend stay, and I would recommend it for someone spending a week or more in the Austin area too. The kitchen is gorgeous and every detail was thought out (from Q-tips in the bathroom to a bottle of wine in the fridge!). Also, having a door code rather than a key was one less thing to remember. 

We would definitely stay again and I highly recommend the cottage for anyone who wants a comfy and homey place for their visit. "
1278532,7316961,2013-09-15,6539471,Arturo,"I stayed in Crystal's cottage for a week. Crystal was very easy to communicate with and responded to my messages in an expedient manner. The cottage was in a great location, very central to many of the places we wanted to go. Also, the cottage looked well kept and brand new. Additionally, the Keurig, new W/D, Lone Star beer in the fridge, local wines and recommending places on where to go was a nice touch. I would certainly stay in Crystal's cottage again if I visited Austin. "
1278532,7372233,2013-09-17,8224999,Alika,"My friends and I visited austin for a just a few days and our stay at crystals guest cottage was great! She left us a list of so many good recommendations and the we were able to come and go easily. There are so many cute returants and bars in the immediate area. We had a great lunch at cenote on our last afternoon and we were able to take buses or walk everywhere which was super convienent! The place was clean, a short walk or bus ride downtown. And Crystal was so kind and easy to communicate with. I would recomment austin and crystals place to eveyone"
1278532,7487452,2013-09-22,8311385,Kenneth,"I really enjoyed my stay here. The place was very clean and comforting. With the personalized note, keyless entry and cold beer in the fridge you'll feel very welcomed and at home! Crystal made suggestions on where to eat and visit based on my personal taste. Thanks again and I will be back!  "
1278532,7608755,2013-09-26,8727948,Peter,We had a great time in Austin at Crystal's place. The rental was clean and definitely exceeded out expectations. Her recommendations were great and really made the trip that much better. What an excellent and responsive host. Would definitely go back to Austin and would not hesitate to stay with Crystal again.
1278532,7853394,2013-10-06,8609904,Amy,"Crystal and her cottage were excellent. The cottage was the perfect home base for adventuring around Austin- super accessible and in a fun neighborhood. Crystal made the whole process a breeze and individualized our visit, which was a much appreciated touch. Hope to return next time we're in town!"
1278532,8148016,2013-10-18,4327083,Denise,"Austin was set as the location for our son's destination wedding, and with family and friends, we converged on all 3 of Crystal's fabulous properties for several days during this event. Crystal gets 5 stars for everything from start to finish. Her quick replies and gracious communication for months before the trip made me confident we'd chosen the right AIRbnb. She and her assistant exceeded our expectations in every way. This is Texas hospitality at its finest!!! Clean, beautiful, stylish and inviting accommodations with extras like wine and beer in the fridge, white fluffy robes to use in each bedroom, security systems to utilize, super easy check-in and check-out...I would most definitely stay here again! Crystal saved the day with her recommendations for restaurants and other fun stuff-saving us from an accidental bad meal and excessive driving...I couldn't recommend her highly enough. We were located super close to downtown and to the airport, and to 6th Avenue fun and frolic, near lots of great eating spots and even to a city park for our granddaughter to play. By far our best AIRbnb experience to date!"
1278532,8428993,2013-10-30,3479019,Emily,"Crystal's cottage provided the perfect get-away in Austin. It was a great location, very clean, and the perfect size.  We loved our stay!"
1278532,8538622,2013-11-04,8750638,Peter,"Crystal is an excellent airbnb host. Her guest cottage in hip east Austin was exactly as advertised and Crystal goes the extra mile with little details, personal recommendations, and a few perfectly stocked weekend provisions. "
1278532,8652059,2013-11-11,4508600,Kathy,"I rented Crystal's cottage and larger home (same property, but completely separate) for my family during my wedding. What a perfect cottage space. One well-appointed bedroom and bath, full kitchen, living room and more. I'd highly recommend this to anyone wanting to be near downtown, South Congress and the east side. "
1278532,8783127,2013-11-18,9072567,Steven,"My wife and I had a wonderful time in Austin, the location of the Cottage is great, it's in a quiet area off of Caesar Chavez, it's location allows for easy travel through all the great areas of Austin. The East side of Austin is easily our favorite area, it has incredible restaurants and food trucks, we were also lucky enough be there for many events like the East Austin Arts Studio Tour & F1 which we'll be coming back for. 
The Cottage was wonderful, it was clean, well furnished, it has it's own dedicated parking spot, the neighborhood seemed active and we felt very safe. Austin is a special city that we're really excited to come back to for years to come. Thanks Crystal! 
P.S. Thanks for the Beer! "
1278532,8834916,2013-11-20,9555263,Alison,"Crystal really thinks of everything in order to give her ""guests"" a welcoming stay in Austin. Her attention to every detail or questions one might have about the area is answered in her (well organized) welcome packet. We appreciated her thinking of everything from the welcome wine/beer, the stash of shampoo (I forgot mine), the coffee and creamer......really everything!
Thank you!
"
1278532,8911504,2013-11-25,1156875,Tamara,"This was a great place to stay. The little apartment is virtually brand new, very clean, cozy and has everything you could need. The bed was amazingly comfortable. Crystal was very helpful in pointing out things to do and places to eat that we might like. It is located across the street from a bar so if you are noise sensitive this could be an issue. I am noise sensitive but with my earplugs in I didn't hear the music. I recommend staying at Crystal's place."
1278532,9277579,2013-12-17,3992478,Michel,"I had a great experience on my short trip with the cottage! Walkable to morning cafe and the east side restaurants. Even better, Crystal was helpful, responsive, and accommodating."
1278532,9432700,2013-12-28,2905011,Harriet,"Wonderful experience. Apartment immaculate, charmingly decorated. Crystal was attentive host. Lots of extra unexpected amenities, wine, beer in the fridge, pancake mix and syrup, coffee, laundry. Information on lots of great neighborhood spots that we hope to try when next in Austin. Highly recommend. "
1278532,10080278,2014-01-29,10900454,Nate And Melissa,"Highly recommended -- the cottage fit the description we were given, and was actually even more impressive than we expected. It was comfortable, clean, convenient, and it came with customized recommendations based on questions Crystal asked us ahead of time. This was in addition to a standard welcome packet that was also helpful. The beer and wine was a nice touch, too. The location was excellent-- extremely close to a bunch of cool bars and restaurants in East Austin, but still close enough to get downtown with no hassle. Crystal was very responsive and helpful, but was never intrusive. I would stay again, and I highly recommend it"
1278532,10232660,2014-02-08,3744859,Scott,"Great place, very neat and well kept.  Just as described."
1278532,10338363,2014-02-14,10275677,Sarah Jane,"This is the perfect downtown Austin apartment, within walking distance to great restaurants and bars.  This Airbnb is brand new, modern, and absolutely lovely with every amenity: beautiful gas stove, new washer and dryer, keyless entry. There are lots of unexpected extras like bubble bath, terrycloth robes, Egyptian cotton sheets, wine and beer.  Crystal even has pancake mix and maple syrup waiting for you. She was available for any needs (although I had none--she had thought of every detail and then some ). This is a 5 star Airbnb."

1278532,10921027,2014-03-13,4082713,Lucio,"Clean and cozy.

Thank you! 
Hope to be back :-)"
1278532,11045856,2014-03-18,912099,Dart,Crystal was very gracious and her property was welcoming. We really enjoyed our time at the Hunter house. The property is situated in a really cool neighborhood to explore. I would suggest this to friends.

1278532,11473673,2014-04-04,9127990,Brandon,"Wonderful guest cottage with a super simple check in and check out.  Crystal was very helpful and quick with a response, tho completely unobtrusive during my stay.  The fridge was stocked with beer and better than anything (for a weary traveler) a washer and dryer.  The location is great and walking distance to Yellow Jackets as well as a ton of other bars/restaurants.  Highly recommended!! Thanks Crystal. "
1278532,11588396,2014-04-08,12672359,Joyce,Everything was as promised.  Immaculate and more than adequate supplies.  The apt. is separated from the more commercial section of downtown by a highway.  We were glad we had rented a car as it would have been hard to get around otherwise..  Owners were easily accessible.  We had a great experience.
1278532,11670415,2014-04-11,13346596,Shana,"My boyfriend and I enjoyed our time in the cottage. We loved that it was new and pristine, as well as its proximity to 6th street, downtown, and to a B-cycle docking station to ride around the city. "

As newbies to Austin it was great to find ourselves so close to so many awesome restaurants and coffee shops.  Crystal was prompt and polite in communicating with us and came up with a list of thoughtful personalized recommendations for activities.  Loved it!  If we come to Austin again we would definitely come back to stay at Crystal's cottage."
1278532,11989649,2014-04-21,1091645,Margot,"Crystal's apartment was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend in Austin - it was immaculately clean when we arrived and had everything we needed (plenty of towels, toiletries, blankets, coffee and even a stocked fridge). Crystal put together a great list of personalized restaurant/bar recommendations for us that we really appreciated. And my friends said the pull out couch was very comfortable. 

Her place was within walking distance to anywhere you'd want to go in the E 6th area, and it was well located to easily get to Dirty Sixth, Lady Bird Lake, Franklin BBQ, etc. We had a great time and I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat!"

"
1278532,12276202,2014-04-28,12453233,Valerie,"This garage apartment was fantastic. It was nice on the inside and a much better experience than staying in a hotel. It was also close to many great things (Mr. Natural foods, coffee, Juiceland juice and smoothie bar, etc.) in Austin and super easy to get to and from the airport. The owner was also very helpful and a pleasure to work with, which made everything easy. "
1278532,12605453,2014-05-06,11485035,Robert,"Simply put, Crystal was an amazing host. Right from the initial stages of the reservation process, Crystal was extremely responsive and helpful. Her personalized recommendations truly allowed for a vacation geared towards our interests and desires. The cottage is as advertised; modern, sleek, new appliances and furniture adorn the apartment and are coupled with a great location and all the necessary accommodations needed. Once again, Crystal was amazing and I would highly recommend her as a host to anyone looking for a great time in Austin!"
1278532,12708031,2014-05-08,789631,Derek,Crystal was incredibly communicative and accommodating even though my booking was made the same day. I would definitely stay at Crystal's place again

They had everything they needed and will for sure be staying there next time they visit! She makes contact through text message to make sure the entry and exit are smooth. Beautiful, clean place :)"
1278532,13618978,2014-06-01,11275649,Lana,"Crystal was very responsive and she came to our apt immediately when we had trouble with our door pass code to fix it. The apt itself is very cute and has literally everything you need (toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, detergent, lotion, food, alcohol, etc)! It's closeby to 6th street, congress, and Rainey st - I highly recommend staying here!"
1278532,13722846,2014-06-02,13718791,Chris,"Our stay at the cottage was brief, but AWESOME :-) It was our first time doing the Airbnb thing and we'll definitely do it again. Our visit was more of a ""stay""cation, so we were familiar with the area. I highly recommend Crystals' cottage if you're a local or from out of town B-)"
1278532,13947976,2014-06-09,12459781,Anisa,This was a great place to stay while in Austin. The guest cottage is exactly as described and as seen in the pictures. Crystal exudes hospitality. Could not be more pleased with our first experience booking through Airbnb. 
1278532,14128142,2014-06-12,4477576,Paul,"Crystal was a great hostess! There was a welcome pack upon arrival with recommendations for everything I could think of and beer in the fridge! The cottage was clean, tidy and really comfortable. It was in a nice neighbourhood and was only a short walk to the nightlife on 6th street. Crystal was very easy to communicate with and kept in touch throughout the stay which was extremely comforting. Great hostess, lovely cottage and would recommend to everyone! "
1278532,14243222,2014-06-15,862596,Amahl,"Very nice little apartment.  Stylish, comfortable, well equipped and provisioned.  Cute little deck for a late afternoon beer.  Terrific neighborhood: short walk to wide variety of restaurants, bars, shops, as well as easy access to downtown, relatively short drive to airport.

Crystal was extraordinarily responsive and helpful, going so far as to stock the apartment with beer and wine, and provide lots of recommendations for places all over Austin.  

One should have no hesitation about renting here."
1278532,14541039,2014-06-21,16833963,Crystal,"We had a great experience with Crystal's apartment! It was super clean and tidy upon arrival, and was very well-equipped, with a washer and dryer, cooking/cleaning supplies, and even beer and wine :) The apartment was in a good location with easy access to downtown and local biking trails. Crystal was also a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. I fully recommend this apartment for anyone looking to stay in Austin!"
1278532,14775379,2014-06-26,2860397,Cassandra,"Crystal's apartment is super super cute and close to downtown plus some of our favorite places on the East Side. (I loved the fluffy bathrobes too!) You can walk or take a really cheap uber to pretty much any place downtown or South Congress. 
She also leaves wonderful personal recommendations (like BBQ) and our fridge had great local beverages. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends coming to Austin!"
1278532,15123162,2014-07-02,9887173,Tobi,Fantastic apartment in a wonderful location. The guide to the area was a lifesaver and the personalized welcome note was very special. One of the gems in AirBnB's crown.
1278532,15472079,2014-07-09,17465597,Izzy,"Staying at Crystal's place was the perfect accommodation for our visit to Austin. The cottage is centrally located and was perfect for two people. We loved the modern kitchen, lounging on the couch, and found the bed very comfortable. Crystal was very quick with all communication and offered some great suggestions on where to go and eat in town. I'd be happy to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
1278532,16308728,2014-07-25,209109,Taras & Gabriella,The place was beautiful and comfortable.
1278532,16447599,2014-07-28,9458902,Lauren,"The cottage was great, just as it looks in the photos.  Crystal was available in the weeks prior to our visit with information, assistance and recommendations. "
1278532,16939820,2014-08-04,18741960,Leo,"Amazing beautiful place. Location is awesome, small , safe streets . Nothing we were not happy about.  Crystal was very helpful.  And also i ve never been in such a clean apartment , that i got from airbnb.
This place is definitely the way to go :)"
1278532,17346466,2014-08-11,5983609,Michael,"Amazing stay in Crystal's cottage! Communication and coordination with Crystal is so easy and comfortable. Crystal even delivered on a special request of mine, perfectly (THANK YOU)! 

The cottage itself was very clean, sleek and comfortable. Plenty of space to move and lay back when you're not out. 
 
The location is also stellar. We were able to walk to numerous spots (Whisler's, Buffalina, White Horse and ESK) and bike everywhere from downtown to Barton Springs! 

This host, cottage and location helped make for a truly memorable visit to Austin. Thanks again, Crystal!

"
1278532,17647515,2014-08-15,7421438,Valerie,"This was the perfect apartment! Very clean, private and home-y. Crystal provided the basics and then some. I was really impressed that she left beer, wine and coffee. Plus there are extras left by previous guests, including a nice liquor selection.

Crystal was an excellent host - very responsive before and during the trip. She even checked in to make sure all was going well. She left binder with great recommendations in the area, along with personalized recommendations for me.

The neighborhood seems up & coming. There are a few gems right on E Cesar Chavez Street within a few blocks. The section of 6th Street just north of the apartment was a lot of fun. I didn't rent a car, so I did most of my trip on foot & by myself. The neighborhood was completely fine during the day, but I felt uncomfortable walking by myself at night. It was not a problem, just something to be aware of. Definitely plan to rent a car, or use Uber or a car service at night.

Overall, I would recommend staying here & would stay again. It was a great value & exposed me to a whole section of Austin I otherwise likely would not have seen."
1278532,18445249,2014-08-26,20079024,Rob,Crystal was simply amazing along with her place. She was very easy to get in touch with and provided great help. She will leave you recommendations if you let her know what you like or are wanting to do in Austin. Her place is kept very clean and is extremely nice for the price! Location is superb. You can get to Barton Springs & Downtown within minutes. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back! 
1278532,18651527,2014-08-30,16349480,Tim,The cottage was just what we needed and we had a great time. The location made it easy to get to all the hot spots and was so convenient to downtown and the highway. Crystal was very thorough and had excellent communication. A+
1278532,18815551,2014-09-01,19201108,Maria,Great host-readily available. Provided local suggestions on where to eat and things to do based on our requests. Description of cottage was accurate and looked like the pictures. Great location-very close to a lot of attractions such as rainy st and downtown/congress st. I would definitely stay here next I visit Austin
1278532,18977208,2014-09-03,377458,Nicholas,"A peaceful and comfortable place, great for catching up on sleep. Blackout shades are great and the bed is comfy. Plenty of creature comforts and even snacks. A lovely place with no deal breakers. "
1278532,19101836,2014-09-06,14021048,Michael,"We were in town for a brief business conference, and Crystal's AirBnB listing was incredibly perfect for us! The unit was secure, clean, and comfortable.

In addition to the excellent bedroom and bathroom amenities, there were plenty of utensils in the kitchen for cooking our own meals, sharing a coffee in the morning, and sitting down to have a meal. We also used the TV, WiFi, and cable, which was great to have in the evenings to unwind.

I would recommend staying here and would love to return in the future."
1278532,19172527,2014-09-07,14738558,Aaron,"Great condo, easy process. Would definitely stay here again!"
1278532,19393076,2014-09-11,9736643,Abby,"Crystal's cottage was comfortable, quiet, and super clean! It is a great location in East Austin and I would highly recommend this spot to new and regular Austin visitors alike. "
1278532,19923813,2014-09-21,13857464,Halley,"Crystal was a fantastic host... Especially for first time AirBNBers like us. She was always quick to reply to my many, many questions and gave amazing recommendations to fit our group specifically. Restaurants, shopping, activities, etc. Just very knowledgeable about the city! 

The cottage was also exactly as described. Very clean, plenty of room for 4 people, beautifully renovated, nice furnishings. Really, anything you could need for a shorty stay is right there.

The area of the cottage was also nice. Maybe a couple blocks farther away from the main city areas than ideal, but definitely not out of the way by any means. We just ended up taking a lot of cabs to get to the other areas of the city. 

A great vegan/Mexican place (Mr. Natural) is located right down the street... Perfect for snacks, breakfast, etc! Also, about a 10 minute walk west -- Cenote. Highly recommend. "
1278532,20129086,2014-09-23,14794630,Mary,"What a wonderful place to stay. It is like a boutique hotel. Crystal is the perfect host. All the amenities and more. Great location to get to downtown, the lake and some cool neighborhood places for coffee, music and good eats. A true gem. I loved sitting out on the porch with coffee, the comfy bed, luxury towels & linens. Super clean. Thank you! "
1278532,20249422,2014-09-26,1605805,Ryan,This was our first experience on airbnb and it was fantastic! The check-in and out precesses were easy and painless. The house was VERY clean and perfectly stocked. Will definitely stay here again should I ever make it back to Austin!
1278532,20535666,2014-09-30,15315643,(email hidden),"We had a great time here! Crystal was very responsive throughout our trip. There was lots of space in the apt and it was very clean. We had four people stay there the first night and we were surprised by just how comfortable the pull out bed was. The location was perfect for us. My husband and I prefer walking and biking when we travel and there was a lot to do within walking distance. You can walk to Rainey street in 20 minutes and there are great restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed going to The White Horse, which was only a 10 minute walk. I also enjoyed using Bcycle, the city bike program. There are two stands within about a 10 minute walk and it was the best way to explore Austin. There is a beautiful protected bike path that brings you from east Austin to the parks south of the river and to the south Congress St area. We would gladly stay here again on our next trip to Austin. "
1278532,20593466,2014-10-01,7038196,Michel,"Crystal is probably the most thoughtful host I've encountered. Though we never actually met face to face, every single detail around the house shows of how she cares for her guests. From the free drinks in the fridge to everything you may possibly need in the bathroom, her lovely abode made me regret not staying longer. I will definitely be coming back! Thanks Crystal!! Cheers"
1278532,20810615,2014-10-06,993327,Joanie,"amazing spot! Had everything we needed and more.  Great location with local bars and restaurants- also super close to Rainey St., Zilker, and the airport.  Crystal was very accommodating and available if we needed her..We will definitely be back! "
1278532,21015893,2014-10-09,18166210,Amber,"Crystal has a beautiful apartment/cottage to share in Austin! Very comfortable and accommodating. She leaves lots of information about places to see, eat, and go to for fun. Absolutely an amazing host! "
1278532,21275755,2014-10-14,53636,Erika,"I can't stress enough what a lovely/professional host Crystal is.  Not only did she make sure to leave a personalized ""things to do"" list for me and my fiancé, but she checked in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and to let us know she was available for anything.  (Note: In the most pleasant and none invasive way possible!)  The apartment was very comfortable and is in a great location for seeing things in Austin, plus, it's a block away from a bus stop that takes you directly downtown if you opt to not drive everywhere (which was perfect as we were there for the ACL fest). Long story longer: We had a great time and I would definitely stay here again!  "
1278532,21445037,2014-10-17,22115202,Kelly,What a charming home! Close to downtown and convenient to just about everything. Crystal was very accommodating and so hospitable. My mom and I stayed for just a couple days and had such a great experience. 
1278532,21716140,2014-10-22,9736643,Abby,The cottage was comfortable and clean and it is quickly becoming my go-to Austin spot! Loved this trip as much as the first. 
1278532,22031087,2014-10-28,1303403,Jenny,"The house was just perfect for my husband's and my short stay in Austin. The location was safe and clean (and we are neat freaks). It is nicely decorated and there are tons of extras like shampoo, coffee, snacks, laundry detergent, etc. We were able to relax and enjoy some wine! What a great place and host!!"
1278532,22288607,2014-11-03,16010561,Ian,"Extremely cozy, well furnished little cottage. The owner left us with a very detailed packet with information on Austin including activities, places to go, places to eat, drink, ect.  We really looked forward to coming home to such a nice cottage every night. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Austin. "
1278532,22358084,2014-11-04,10127320,Jeff,"Everything about this place is perfect. Great location, it's super charming and clean, and Crystal is a terrific hostess. Lots of toiletries, snacks, etc all furnished. Thanks for the great stay, Crystal!"
1278532,22483312,2014-11-08,14297024,Cass,"This was my first Airbnb experience and everything went smoothly! 
Crystal's cottage had everything we needed for our stay and was very comfortable. 
Crystal was very easy to communicate with and always replied promptly to any questions we had in the lead up to our trip. 
We had a car during our stay but there were a number of restaurants, food trucks and a convenience store within a short walk from the cottage (Vera Cruz is recommended for delicious and cheap breakfast tacos, also La Barbeque was great but get there early as the line gets log!)
I would definitely book with Crystal again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her accommodation 
Thanks again Crystal

1278532,22749785,2014-11-13,5508885,Marybelle,"I really loved this space! It was cozy, clean and close to everywhere I wanted to go. It was my home away from home. I had my own parking spot and I arrived with some beer and wine in the fridge already. Crystal is very attentive and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay here again."
1278532,22828068,2014-11-16,8609904,Amy,"We scheduled our trip to Austin based on the weekends this cottage was available, so needless to say we love the place and consider it our permanent 'Austin home.' Crystal is great to work with, super responsive and helpful. The cottage is great, includes everything you might want or need for your stay."
1278532,23004146,2014-11-20,15260069,Sam,"What a pleasure! Crystal's apartment is one if the best I've stayed in during my travels. It is clean, cozy and within walking distance to everything I needed. She is a great communicator and was easy to deal with on all fronts. Highly recommended."
1278532,23111717,2014-11-23,22781502,Erica,"I just got back from a quick weekend trip to Austin and had the pleasure of staying at the Modern Craftsman Guest Cottage. The place was adorable - welcoming and cozy within a cool east Austin neighborhood. We loved the large kitchen, delicious coffee, and spacious bathroom. Crystal also left personalized recommendations of local restaurants and things to see/do during our stay. This unique touch left a great impression. Would HIGHLY recommend this cottage for a short or extended stay in Austin! "
1278532,23317653,2014-11-29,12096033,Ken,"We had a lovely stay in Austin, due in large part to the safe, clean, quiet, modern and homey cottage provided by Crystal.  The neighborhood felt safe and the neighbors friendly.  We felt like we were ""going home"" at the end of every day.  Crystal provided a notebook with recommendations for restaurants and activities.  When she found out we were vegetarians, Crystal prepared a customized list of restaurant recommendations and those we samples were excellent.  She made check-in and check-out smooth and easy.  The amenities were first-class, including nice bathrobes.  We recommend Crystal's cottage without reservation and would return in a heartbeat. "
1278532,23553345,2014-12-04,764226,Sarah,"i loved crystals place! it was in a great location and was perfect for my week long stay. btw, if you are kind of a hippie who likes mexican food, try mr. natural across the street! Delicious fresh vegetarian mexican yums."
1278532,23626793,2014-12-07,21883659,John,"Our stay here was amazing! Perfectly located near some of Austin's hottest spots (Yellow Jacket Social Club, John Mueller's BBQ, and Juan in a Million) and very accessible to the downtown area. Crystal was a really wonderful host! So many great recommendations and the apartment is even better than the pictures. So cute and very clean! Cant wait to find my way back. "
1278532,23989674,2014-12-16,5222463,Isaiah,"I feel like a broken record here. Crystal has 300+ reviews saying the same thing and mine isn't much different. This place was AWESOME. The location is perfect with a short walk to East 6th which is just littered with great eats and a plethora of eclectic bars. Crystal asks what you're into before the trip and makes a customized list for you when you get there. 

The accommodations are easily some of the best I've ever stayed in via Airbnb.  I love my coffee and she had me hooked up with the Keurig, french press and grinder all right there. The bed and linens felt like I was staying in a Hyatt. She really did a great job with all the small touches. 

I just got back yesterday and I've already recommended this place to other people!!"
1278532,24245848,2014-12-23,2795888,Kate,Really enjoyed our stay. Crystal was easy to communicate with and provided all the details we needed for a fun and relaxing visit.

We arrived to find a personalized note with recommendations and a bottle of wine waiting on the counter for us.  The cottage was exactly as pictured and thoughtful amenities were provided such as a hair dryer, extra bath towels, and luxuriously soft bed sheets.  The kitchen was wonderful! We had all of the kitchen utensils needed to prepare a nice meal.  This property is also very walkable to local food trucks and even downtown if one is ambitious.  Crystal was in contact throughout our trip to ensure our stay was comfortable.  We would definitely utilize the cottage again for any future trips to Austin!"
1278532,24447858,2014-12-28,25056747,R. Scott,First stay on Airbnb and I hope they are all this good. The cottage  was immaculate and Crystal was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Fantastic for my small family. Was nice to return to my old neighborhood and feel at home again. 
1278532,24634291,2015-01-01,19293474,Marlena,"This was my first experience with airbnb and I'm so glad it was with Crystal.

Crystal was a great host and so easy to communicate with. Her suggestions for food and activities were great and were specifically tailored for what we like. She went the extra mile with her suggestions and her attention to detail was appreciated. She also went out of her way to accommodate our late travel times.

It has its own washer and dryer and that is always very important to me! We were greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and a note listing recommendations for restaurants, bars and local fun spots. We stayed here for two weeks and would highly recommend this treetop apartment to anyone."
1278532,26780889,2015-02-19,2384241,Stephen,Crytal's garage was great. So close to the best breakfast tacos of all time (Veracruz All Natural). The place was very clean and had everything you'd need to be comfortable. Thanks again!
1278532,26852438,2015-02-20,27928414,Peter,"This place is as nice, clean, and elegant as it does in the pictures if not better in person. With great amenities and a wonderful environment  there's not much more you could do to this place. It maybe as close to perfect as a small cozy place can get. It's extremely comfortable and the location is great with a lot of local bars & food joints nearby, also just minutes from downtown which became very convenient. 

Crystal is such a nice and sweet lady, I look forward to staying at her place again or one of her other listings whenever I make my way to Austin. Thank you again!"

Great communication and very friendly host!"
1278532,27490625,2015-03-06,21882223,Stephen,Crystal's place was exactly as described.  It had its own off-street parking space.  We greatly enjoyed the wine and beer provided by our host.  Crystal provided a list of restaurants for breakfast and bars with happy hours that were in close proximity to her place.  The location was great as we could readily drive anywhere in Austin.  Thanks Crystal!
1278532,27638089,2015-03-09,1250671,Ariel,"Crystal's place couldn't have been more perfect for our 8 person group. The ""Stag House"" as we lovingly nicknamed it (due to several deer-related art pieces) was clean and simple but well equipped with all the necessities. It was on a quiet side street yet close to all of East Austin's eccentric offerings (ample piñata stores for instance!) and amazing eats/bars. Crystal was so lovely to book with, super flexible and responsive when needed, but also gave us plenty of space during our visit (we didn't actually ever see her). I highly recommend her place for visiting couples, friends, colleagues. Can't wait to visit again! "
1278532,28076610,2015-03-17,20322596,Laura,"What an awesome experience in Austin!!! Crystal was such an accommodating and helpful host. The place was perfect; very clean, location was awesome (great bars and places to eat essentially across the street!), easy walk to downtown (walked downtown and back several times a day!). Crystal left a personalized list of things to do that were spot on with what I was looking for! I can't wait to bring my husband back :) We will definitely be renting from Crystal again soon!!! "

1278532,29827367,2015-04-13,13528816,Samantha,"I only have great things to say about our stay at Crystals place. It was close enough to downtown for short cheap uber rides, but far enough away to have a quiet nights rest. The place was clean and adorable and so nice to come home to after a long day of sight seeing. Staying here made our first trip to Austin so comfortable and we will definitely be booking with her again on our next trip. Would highly recommend this cozy place!"
1278532,30083708,2015-04-17,8386207,Jay,Can't say enough good things about Crystal's apartment and our stay there! The location is great and it was really nice to have a dedicated parking spot.  The apartment is super clean and well outfitted and was perfect for our stay in Austin.  It was close to downtown and the rest of Austin which made getting around quick and easy.  Would highly recommend this place to everyone!
1278532,30183795,2015-04-19,14898518,Jodi,The guest cottage was absolutely wonderful. The unit was really clean and wonderfully decorated.

1278532,31492614,2015-05-05,3085666,Tony,"the little touches made the stay as if you were at home and a nice hotel at the same time. lots of accommodations to make our stay nice and easy. very clean and chic apartment and setting. the neighborhood was ok. close to public transport and bars and restaurants, but some interesting people around the area. little noise at night because of a bar next door.
overall a very good experience and crystal was great."
1278532,31879859,2015-05-11,5427034,Steve,"We had a great stay at Crystal's place during Austin Psych Fest. The house is in a great location, walking distance to bars and restaurants but in a quiet street. Crystal was helpful with anything we needed, communication was great. Would definitely stay here again. "
1278532,32132698,2015-05-14,19805284,Hugh,"Excellent apartment in a great location. East Austin has quite a lot going on and this was a fantastic base to see it all. Everything was as described. Very clean, nice kitchen, big fridge, close to a bunch of bars, breweries and BBQ joints. Crystal has provided a great collection of things to see and places to eat. Would recommend staying here if you find yourself in town."
1278532,32360886,2015-05-17,2841276,Agatha,"The apartment was just as listed! Super great location near great restaurants and bars.  Apartment was clean and comfortable with all the little extras that you want (shampoos, toiletries, fully stocked kitchen).  It was also a great treat to come to some wine and beers in the fridge!  we'll be back!"
1278532,33586281,2015-05-30,2412121,Michael,Crystal was terrific in preparing us for her apartment.  It was exactly as advertised.  A great location.  The kitchen was fully equipped with wine and beer awaiting us.  Everything worked as it should.  We would not hesitate to return.
1278532,34014946,2015-06-03,8657961,Erin,"We had a wonderful stay at Crystal's guest cottage.  It was clean, charmingly decorated, and extremely comfortable.   We appreciated all the extras that Crystal leaves for renters (no need to pack a hairdryer!).  We also appreciated rapid responses to questions and the check-in booklet with a tailored list of local recommendations.  The bedroom windows get some noise from the nearby bars, but it was easily blocked with earplugs.  Strongly recommend! "
1278532,34405070,2015-06-08,4899479,Jeremy,"Crystals place is great for a large group of people.  We were in town for our son's wedding and the room setup is perfect.  Crystal did a great job of getting back to us when we had questions,  she even left us some wine and beer to enjoy on arrival.
When we return to Austin we will definately consider staying here again."
1278532,34680836,2015-06-10,8502867,Kiwi,"the house is very cozy, and near the downtown. I love it, the bed is very comfy, clean/"
1278532,36755108,2015-07-01,12580998,Meg,"We found our apartment to be really comfortable, with everything you could want for a stay.  A real home from home. Crystal was a very attentive host,  keen to help out in any way and quick to respond to any correspondence.  The apartment is well situated for easy bus access to downtown and local bars/dining. The apartment is fully equipped and the a/c was fantastic!  We would highly recommend staying here. Thanks again Crystal, you helped make our stay from Scotland a great one!"
1278532,37795638,2015-07-10,37105607,Maia,"Crystal was a perfect host - very helpful, timely with responses, and sweet. She wrote a lengthy list of activities, places to go, the best food spots, and what to do where. I would definitely recommend her place to a friend!"
1278532,38566757,2015-07-16,13069479,James,"My girlfriend and I were traveling through Austin and stayed here for two days during the week and had a blast! The ""Guest Cottage"" was extremely clean, comfortable, and the check-in/check-out process was a breeze. That along with the awesome recommendations that  is left for guests made renting this place over a hotel a no-brainer.  However, it is in a ""hipster"" area of Austin if that matters to anyone. Right next door is a good bar w/ live music (Stay Gold) and down the street are some good eats. And it is no more than a 5-10min. uber to downtown and 6th street. I would recommend this place for a couple or small group visiting Austin. It is just far enough outside of downtown were it is calm and peaceful but just close enough to where you can access all that Austin has to offer. "
1278532,39286586,2015-07-22,34486284,Nicole,"What a wonderful place to stay. We really appreciated having a place with great amenities, a great location & the extra little touches made it better than any other place that we've stayed before. Really enjoyed our time here & the experience. "
1278532,39470055,2015-07-23,2688305,Jennifer,"Crystal is awesome!!  I am very appreciative that I was able to have a quick staycation and stay in Crystal's space.  Upon booking, she provided full details about the ins and outs of the space which I appreciated.   The location is wonderful and very close to some of my favorite spots in Austin!  The need for a car in this area is almost obsolete because the neighborhood is so walkable.  The space was very comfortable, well decorated, and crisp!  You really can't beat the price, quality, and location!  "
1278532,40206234,2015-07-29,30199717,Lianne,We had a great time staying at Crystal's apartment. She definitely made the place feel welcoming and relaxing! We really enjoyed our trip and our stay at her place! 
1278532,40547714,2015-07-31,5138457,Brian,"Check in was very easy, and the cottage was even nicer than the description showed. The living room was comfortable and bright, the bed was big and soft, and the kitchen was surprisingly well-equipped. The bathroom was spacious and had some thoughtful small toiletries for guests to use. The reserved parking space is a big plus, and there were things to do right down the street. An exceptional AirBNB!"
1278532,40829455,2015-08-02,7942715,Felix,"The cottage was very clean and looked just like the pictures. Location was good and it was very nice to have a designated parking spot. Crystal was very responsive whenever I contacted her, and her recommendations in the welcome packet were great! I Highly recommend the place for anyone looking to spend a weekend in Austin. :)"
1278532,41318766,2015-08-07,12933502,Nadine,Crystal's apartment is absolutely perfect! She has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and fun!  Crystal left us loads of recommendations and information which was really helpful! The location is excellent - some really funky bars/restaurants right next door and you can get downtown in an uber in 5 minutes.  I would definitely recommend Crystal's apartment!
1278532,42432675,2015-08-13,38697313,Pamela,"This apartment felt like home with every convenience including chefs kitchen with dishwasher and washer/dryer.  The decor was fresh, clean and light.  Everything needed for an enjoyable stay was provided, the host even supplied beer and wine!

Previous guests mentioned the noise from the bar next door.  The music was loud, but I was still able to tune out the drumming base and fall asleep every night without difficulty."
1278532,43400282,2015-08-19,552831,Chris,"Totally great place to spend a few days.  Close to restaurants and bars, all the comforts of home are there and ready to go for you, which was great."
1278532,43622650,2015-08-21,6556369,Zach,"Such a great place to stay! Seamless entry with the electronic keypad and great communication. The unit itself is great with hardwood floors, spacious kitchen and nice amenities like the washer, dryer and dishwasher. It's in such a cool location! Three trendy, local bars are a stone's throw away and it's a 5 minute drive into downtown. It's close to the east side of 6th street, as well. Thanks, Crystal for a great stay!"
1278532,44814716,2015-08-29,40318489,Brian And Christina,Property was well appointed and clean.  Crystal provided excellent communication and recommendations for things to do in the area as well.  Thanks for a great stay Crystal.
1278532,45214846,2015-08-31,23642350,Amy,"Great location and a clean, well appointed apartment! Toiletries, hair dryer, washer/dryer, and cold beer in the fridge were all excellent perks. Just a short walk to the bars and restaurants on East Sixth and a short cab ride anywhere else. Crystal was great with communication and thought of everything. Perfect for a weekend getaway!"
1278532,45688951,2015-09-05,25296639,Eric,Crystal's place was the perfect location for our one night in Austin.  Her communication ahead of times as outstanding with detailed access instructions and recommendations in the area.  Easy access via code and the place is updated with unique decor.  Kitchen has all the amenities and spices if you want to cook.  Bathroom was spotless and bed comfy.  We really enjoyed the live band at The Craftsman bar next/behind the place. We would absolutely return!
1278532,46366861,2015-09-10,25286580,Karen,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and Crystal's place was perfect for us. It was only a quick bus trip downtown, and Crystal provided us with lots of great suggestions. She also had plenty of nice additional touches in the apartment - drinks in the fridge, ice on hand in the freezer, a coffee machine, shampoo and conditoner. It was very hot while we were in Austin and Crystal's place was a beautiful cool refuge from the heat. Brilliant! Would highly recommend it."
1278532,46739863,2015-09-13,23083222,Gabrielle,Everything was better than expected. Beautiful cottage and she provided a very helpful packet that guided us through our stay. We would definitely choose to stay again.
1278532,47250663,2015-09-17,16923700,Amy,Crystal's place was just a delight!! It is a little sanctuary away from home. Loved all the artwork and homely touches. Crystal left a ton of recommendations for us and was so easy to communicate with! Loved having some drinks in the fridge also. The place is about a 35 min walk into downtown but an uber ride is only around $4-$5. 
1278532,48355919,2015-09-25,44732741,Gilbert,Crystal was fantastic! She responded to everything promptly. The unit was put together great.  It is a great place to stay!  Easy access to downtown and 6th street.  We will definitely stay her again!  Thanks!
1278532,48830322,2015-09-28,31237807,Candace,Amazing and cozy place!  I highly recommend staying here.  
1278532,49043769,2015-09-30,24424408,Cate,"Hi Crystal, thanks so much for the stay in your beautiful apartment - after travelling pretty intensively in the past few weeks, it was so lovely to open the door and feel instantly at home "
1278532,49608994,2015-10-05,1459175,Kimberly,"Crystal's apartment is absolutely lovely. It's very clean, with great appliances and a comfortable bed & couch. It was very easy to get to & from with a favorite bar right across the street and others nearby. Crystal was easy to communicate with, very friendly, prompt and informative. Thank you for such great place to stay! And we had an absolute blast at ACL. "
1278532,50690504,2015-10-13,15488425,Lia,Great little space with nice homey touches! Perfect for a few days in Austin! 
1278532,50920145,2015-10-16,26784171,Matt,"Our stay at Crystal's cottage was nothing short of perfect! 
Although we never met Crystal, communication in the lead up to our stay was great. She was very happy to answer any questions we had and gave clear instructions for our arrival.
Crystal went above and beyond to put a personal touch on our stay, and our stay at the cottage felt like home.
The cottage is ideally located. It is within arms reach of everything you need whilst still being in a quiet location. Crystal left recommendations for everything, from restaurants to bars, to vintage shops and things to do around town. This was very helpful for two Austin first-timers. We can't wait to come back, and when we do, we hope to stay here again!"
1278532,51729446,2015-10-24,6023921,Lorelei,"We had a wonderful experience staying at this AirBnb. The place was perfect and looked just like the pictures. It was in a good neighborhood close by to many activities. Crystal left a booklet of places to see, places to eat, places to go out, and more! She was super helpful with giving advice of what to do in Austin which I needed. Overall great experience with a great host and a great place. Definitely would recommend. "
1278532,51890103,2015-10-25,11942403,Loren,Crystal's place was perfect! It's a beautiful apartment with all the amenities you need. She was always available for feedback and recommendations which made my stay there that much better. Thank you!
1278532,52456219,2015-10-29,7893209,Alanna,"Crystal's place was great and exactly as described! Steps away from bars, restaurants, live music.  Very cute and cozy place. I especially liked the bath robes she had available for her guests to use.  She had everything you could think of - tea, coffee, wine, even ear plugs! Would definitely stay there again. "
1278532,53002205,2015-11-03,46661676,Kristin,"Crystal was a wonderful host for this cottage.  The whole place was very clean, in a great location close to downtown & felt very hospitable.  There are some great restaurants and food trucks in walking distance and it is a pretty inexpensive Uber ride to downtown or other areas around town.  There was some loud music playing at a nearby bar until early morning hours on a Monday night.  I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Austin area. "
956781,3766853,2013-03-12,5236679,Katie,"Steve was a great host! We had a last minute reservation for Austin's SXSW festival and he was extremely accommodating to our needs. We walked in to a great goodie basket, a binder with all the directions (sent also in email), and an extremely clean house! The beds and air mattresses were comfortable and the house made us feel very welcomed. Thank you, Steve!"
956781,5417388,2013-06-29,6298372,Katrina,"Steve's house is a beautiful piece of art. Loved the modern granite floor downstairs and bamboo floor upstairs, the skylight windows that allowed natural light to filter in during the day, the cute little yard that I go out to look at greens when I stare too long at the computer, catching a view of ecletic houses nearby (turkeys ran around a neighbor's backyard, another few had interesting metal gates), other design elements in the house. My group of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our 1-week stay there. 
We found out that this house is even less than 1 year old, so it is understandable why a high deposit is required.

There are enough bathrooms -2.5baths - to use for everyone (we loved that), enough space and mattresses to sleep on, we bought groceries and used the kitchen to cook breakfasts and meals (of course we washed our own dishes), I personally loved that the trash is divided 3 ways - food scraps, normal, and recyclables. Everyone loved the sophisticated washer and dryer as well, and not to forget, there is a cool alarm system in the house that we always use when we leave the house or before we sleep at night. The house is also very centrally located if you have business in downtown Austin.

When we want to do takeout, there are several foodtrucks nearby, including a nice one across the street (mm...fried chicken bites and plantains..) that made meals easy and cheap. Friends living in the area also took us to Mt Bonnelle to see the wonderful view and sunset, and many nice restaurants in the area. We didn't even have to go far to go pub crawling, there's a whole bunch of pubs and clubs just on the west side of 35.

The neighborhood is in development so you will find a mix of nice new houses, boarded up ones and very old ones. 

Steve and Anne's place is, i may say, like a magical oasis, and we are very happy to have the chance to stay at their house. They have been very good hosts. Steve replied our questions as soon as he could before and throughout our stay, he even responded to our call in the wee hours when we tripped the alarm.

We had many laughs, discussions, work meetings, late night talks, cocktail sessions at the house. My first impression of life in downtown Austin couldn't have been better. Thanks to Steve and Anne, we will be back if we have a chance. :)"
956781,7398632,2013-09-18,3614466,Margo,"New, clean house with covered parking in a terrific location to the airport (but not so close as to hear it) and all the cool stuff to do downtown in a neighborhood that is transitioning to a young, hip community. The owner was very easy to deal with and used the lockbox system for the key, so checking in was a breeze.  I would stay there again."
956781,21424107,2014-10-17,20892694,Klaus-Tycho,"The house was a great place to stay!  Steve even picked us up from the airport and went shopping with us - which was greatly appreciated, since we did not have a car. Which we did not need - since Austin is easy to reach.

Nice neighborhood, easy entry (lockbox system) - and all the amenities one could desire in a house. We had an awesome time and would definitely stay there again if we are again in Austin.

Thanks again Steve!"
956781,28129813,2015-03-18,4140186,Karen,Great location which enabled us to enjoy SXSW! As a host Steve provided all the necessary information in advance and his place was fantastic and definitely the best place we have stayed in Austin. 
956781,28397009,2015-03-23,27471687,Justin,Great place. Nice and clean. Easy to get into downtown from. Steve was lovely and very accomodating.
3697222,28127109,2015-03-18,3827964,Christopher,"Claudia was wonderful and attentive. Her home is exactly as shown, it was very clean, and has a really wonderful vibe. Make sure you try the hammock/yoga loft!

The neighborhood was as Austin as it gets, fun, weird, and safe. 

There is only one bathroom, but it is very clean, with good shower, and laundry. So just plan around it, if you have a large group. "
3697222,28408954,2015-03-23,6174785,Chloe,Lovely home in a great location! Perfect for our sxsw stay!
3697222,29926029,2015-04-14,166164,Tracy,"Claudia's house is an Austin gem! It looks too good to be true -- but it's very honest to the photos and description. We were there over a long weekend and had a great stay: Everything is sparkling clean and well appointed, and it's a very easy drive to the downtown area and loads of other great dining options. There's good coffee right around the corner, too. We look forward to staying again in the future!"
3697222,30797825,2015-04-27,11951724,Drew,"Probably the best AirBnB I've ever stayed in. Clean, comfortable and the location is great too. Would recommend this to anyone."
3697222,34045847,2015-06-03,2476237,Alex,The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5094445,26379520,2015-02-10,16813855,Steve,"We decided on Austin for a long weekend and fortunately found Bill and his Hideaway last minute. If the Ritz had residences tucked away in neighborhoods they might be like this. Attention to detail and every convenience, and of course, Bill was a great host. Wonderful stay!"
5094445,26887272,2015-02-21,7506931,Dana,"The Hideaway was a great find - well appointed, perfectly located, and impeccably maintained. Awesome place, Bill - I hope to stay there again sometime! Thanks. "
5094445,27102299,2015-02-25,14068838,Janice,"We loved the Hideaway and the neighborhood. Tucked in a pleasant neighborhood, the setting was quiet yet an easy walk to the South Congress neighborhood shops and restaurants. It's very apparent that Bill has invested a lot of time and energy into making the Hideaway comfortable and inviting. It is spacious and well laid out, and the bathroom delightfully large. The beds and linens were superb. We'd definitely stay here again, and will recommend the Hideaway to our friends visiting Austin. "
5094445,27401197,2015-03-03,10604504,Cameron,"Bill was great.  He provided information regarding the logistics of staying at his place early in the process, and was clear and comprehensive in his instructions about getting there.  He was helpful, providing us with some recommendations about places to check out around town, and always responsive when I reached out to him.  His place is great - neat, big, and comfortable.  We only used one bed, but it was extremely comfortable, and there was a pool, but unfortunately the weather was too cold to take advantage of it.  Would definitely stay with Bill again - thanks Bill!"
5094445,27621328,2015-03-08,28582228,Hannah,"I loved:   the furniture, decor, parking (ample room for two cars if parked tandem-style), size & layout, bedding, mattresses, current magazine subscriptions, pool area (even though we couldn't use it due to the cold weather, it's certainly well done), amazing art, large TVs in all the rooms, price, and so much more. 

This a great place at an even better price.  It's just a short walk from SoCo, which is what made it so great.  Bill is a great host who doesn't skimp on the details.  I was pleasantly surprised to find current issues of W, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar there as well as others.  

Part of the reason I chose this place is because I actually have some of the same decor and furnishings in my own home so the style was definitely what I was looking for.  The bed was also so incredibly comfortable, and as a frequent traveler, having a very comfortable bed is certainly one of the most important things during my stays."
5094445,27998734,2015-03-16,8006791,Mark,"Bill was a great host - quick to respond to queries and really helpful with little things like extra coffee, towels and leaving our bags before our flight out. 

The Hideaway is an awesome spot. It's a beautiful apartment with great pool. Top notch wifi. Quiet neighbourhood but less than a 5min walk to South Congress and just 25min walk to downtown. Comfortably suited three adults (1 couple & 1 single) for a week and we'd happily recommend to anyone visiting Austin. Definitely the best place I've stayed in the city in 6 visits."
5094445,28306885,2015-03-22,26112595,Mary-Lacey,"AMAZING. GORGEOUS. BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS. From the moment we booked, Bill was exceptionally helpful. The apartment is exactly as pictured and better. The location is an easy 5 minute walk from the main South Congress St. strip, and a 10 minute Uber/Taxi ride downtown. For SXSW it could not have been a better spot. 

The home itself is breathtaking. The decor is exceptional and Bill's taste is impeccable. When we arrived, he had kindly left 4-5 local beers in the fridge and plenty of Nespresso pods for our use. (Half-way through the week, he replenished our stash without asking!) The kitchen is plenty for what we needed (microwave, mini fridge, toaster, espresso maker, and sink). 

The special touches were also very convenient-- toiletries in the bathroom, AMAZING bathrobes, pool towels, a keypad entry so that you don't have to worry about remembering a key, iron and board, hangers, and the pool deck to name a few. We were busy all day, but took time every evening and morning to sit by the pool. It's WARM, beautiful, and honestly...the perfect Hideaway. 

The A/C worked perfectly, it's on a quiet street with no noise at all, the TV and Sound system were fantastic, water pressure was great, Wi-Fi was flawless (my husband worked from The Hideaway all day for a week with no problems) and Bill was always prompt in answering any questions we had. 

We absolutely hope to return next year and look forward to it! THANK YOU BILL! "
5094445,29663631,2015-04-11,27052594,Nelson,"The Hideaway has it all!  it has the pool, roomy accommodations, its quiet and clean and best of all, an easy walk to South Congress where many restaurants and bars are located.  In addition, Bill was a nice and accommodating host and we loved his dog.  We would definitely consider coming back again.  "
5094445,30192856,2015-04-19,13080211,S,"We loved the Hideaway and hope to stay again in the future. It was super comfortable and luxurious, even nicer than the photos! Bill was a very helpful and accommodating host."
5094445,30551525,2015-04-24,332177,Laura,"  One of the best homes Ive stayed in thru air bnb.  It feels more like a delux hotel.  Bill is a wonderful host thinking of every detail, both big and small.  It is in a great cute neighborhood, just a few blocks walking to Congress St.  It was hard to leave as it was so comfortable.  Wishing I was still there!! Thank you Bill!"
5094445,30761110,2015-04-27,5122786,Jose A,I highly recommend Bill's Hideaway listing. Pictures do not do it justice. First impression was everything to us. The decor was beyond amazing such that it made us want to stay in and enjoy the space. It had all the basic amenities and then some.  Our favorite was the bedding. Could of stayed in bed all day from just how comfortable the mattress felt. We especially liked that the neighborhood was quiet and the address easy to find. 4 block walk to trendy SoCo shopping and restaurants. 5 min access to freeway made it easy to head back to the airport. It is without doubt that I would stay again at The Hideaway. Thank you Bill for sharing your place with us. 
5094445,31429581,2015-05-05,10372106,Greer,"Bill's hideaway was amazing. Beautifully decorated, clean, and peaceful. The amazing landscaping and salt water pool made the experience so memorable. Thankful for the stay. "
5094445,31614659,2015-05-07,26561665,David,"Great location,  cool spot,  very clean.  Will stay again.  Host was very helpful and quick response.  Thanks. "
5094445,31935631,2015-05-12,3615334,Jason,"Bill made everything so easy that didn't even have to bother him during our whole 5 day stay. His place is definitely a clean, handsomely decorated, high-end modern space. The design is well thought out, and the pool was the icing on the cake! We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The location was perfect as well. We will definitely back next time we're in Austin!"
5094445,32127980,2015-05-14,31594640,Laura,"The entire experience was perfect (despite the rainy weather which no one could control). The Hideaway was even better than the pictures portrayed. The pool and garden were spectacular and so relaxing. You could tell that a lot of time, effort and thought was put into designing the space and furnishing the home. It was clean and comfortable. Sleeping on the bed was like sleepy on a fluffy cloud. We got to meet Bill when we arrived and he was very warm and welcoming but didn't bother us during our stay. He was very responsive when I had questions via email and phone. The location was fabulous and we walked to the restaurants and bars on South Congress. Look no further. This is the best place to stay in Austin."
5094445,32496909,2015-05-19,802355,Kim,"What a gorgeous and comfortable place to park it in Austin! High end everything....beds, linens and all the stuff that really counts. Even extras in the bath that you may have forgotten. Like a 5 star hotel but way more (website hidden) in each bedroom and BIG TV in living room. Lots of personal touches, cool artwork and your OWN private pool. 

We loved the neighborhood and particularly the easy walk to So. Congress with all the shops/restos etc. 

Bill is super responsive if you need anything but otherwise leaves you alone if you seek privacy. Perfect host. We'd stay here again in a New York minute. "
5094445,32767055,2015-05-21,6784482,Harvey,"I stay in vacation rentals on average 10-15 times a year and this is one of the best experiences yet.  From initial communication to check in to the stay and finally the departure, everything happened in the most professional and welcoming manner possible.  Comprehensive instructions, great location, top shelf amenities and then there was the pool-how nice after a day of work to come relax by the pool before walking to South Congress for a meal and some music.  Highly recommended."
5094445,32913771,2015-05-23,25801370,Emily,Beautiful home with many luxe touches. Bill was very nice and let me store my luggage for a few hours after check out. Would definitely recommend booking!
5094445,33225731,2015-05-26,27160456,Robert,"The Hideaway was phenomenal in all ways. Beautiful decor, clean, comfortable and quiet. The amenities were very appreciated (coffee, beer, toiletries and incredibly comfortable bed). Everything is high end and classy. The pool is beautiful, the interior decorating and artwork are incredible. I will definitely stay here again. "

5094445,34092167,2015-06-04,34151203,Michael,"Our first Airbnb experience could not have been better. Bill's ""Hideaway"" is our new favorite retreat in Austin and we will definitely be returning. Not only is the place fantastic, Bill's quick communication made the experience that much more personal- he even left us a note and tasty beverage to congratulate us on our marriage. I highly recommend the Hideaway to anyone looking for a great spot in the perfect location to enjoy all that Austin has to offer. Thanks again Bill- we look forward to our next visit!"
5094445,34636872,2015-06-10,11103354,Jessica,"Speaking from experience, The Hideaway nails it. It is gorgeous, well-appointed, comfortable, and the furnishings are way cooler than whatever is in your own home- guaranteed. Bill was friendly, helpful, and a great host. The pictures do not come close to representing how lovely the property is, it is obviously very well maintained. Pool is terrific, the location is perfect. Less than 10 minute walk to South Congress, we even walked downtown. I'm having major separation anxiety, and can't wait to return to Austin and The Hideaway, we won't stay anywhere else!! Thanks again Bill! "
5094445,34875527,2015-06-13,32788490,Marie,The Hideaway is exactly how the pictures look! The pool was relaxing and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. We would defn choose The Hideaway again!
5094445,35200371,2015-06-16,28414007,Hannah,"My husband and I couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our anniversary. This was our first time using Airbnb but it certainly won't be our last. 
The hideaway exceeded our expectations. It was so nice to be able to cool off in the pool in between dining and shopping. We were so close to all of the amazing things located on SoCo. The space was beautiful, comfortable and had everything we needed. I would reccomend the hideaway to anyone! "
5094445,35620750,2015-06-20,13224084,Michelle,"Loved my stay!  Extremely charming and private.  The bed was incredible and dressed in wonderful linens.  Perfect size for me and my daughter.  Nice extra touches (toothbrushes, tooth paste, shower caps, lotion, beer, specialty coffees).  Location is perfect if you need or want to be downtown.  I booked last minute and Bill was exceptional in responding and taking care of me.  A definite must if staying in Austin.  
"
5094445,36173299,2015-06-26,28365926,David,"We arrived at the Hideaway and found an inviting home away from home. The 2 bedroom apartment was nicely furnished and the kitchenette had a nespresso machine with a nice variety of espresso pods. The bathroom was clean and there were towels and robes for our use.  The pool was a great place to relax and play with our toddler. Austin was warm and muggy so relaxing in a cool pool was very nice. We were also within walking distance of South Congress, which had a lot of places to eat and see. Great trip!"
5094445,36536697,2015-06-29,10871959,Francisco,Staying at The Hideaway was an amazing experience. Bill is an excellent host who has put in a lot thought into the accommodations at The Hideaway.

Overall, this is a great place to stay."
5094445,37710169,2015-07-09,55474,Steph,The house is on a quiet street of gorgeous homes.  Theres no noise from cars or neighbors so sleep was peaceful.  Our host left us a few beers in the fridge and we made a special request for a few kitchen items and Bill was happy to provide these for us to borrow.  The home is even better than the photos.  The pool is perfect.  Beds are comfy and AC decadently effective for a humid city like Austin.  We have stayed here twice and I have been VERY SAD to leave each time.
5094445,38613145,2015-07-17,15865352,Vineet,"The house was amazing and Bill was kind enough to leave us with coffee and beer. The rooms were well done and all the linens were really clean. Even thou we didnt use the pool, it was beautiful.

We thought we wanted to do all sorts of activities in Austin, but we ended up just lounging outside and enjoying the awesome pool!"
5094445,40343771,2015-07-30,6784482,Harvey,This was our second visit and just as great as the first.  Bill was very gracious and helpful.  The Hideaway is in excellent condition with all the highest quality decor and amenities.  Having a private pool to come back to after a day of work was just wonderful.  Highly recommended.

The lovely private pool is an absolute oasis.

The accommodation is in a great part of town - excellent restaurants and bars."

The place had a homely cosy feel and all the necessary amnesties were available. We also liked the fact that the place is within walking distance to SoCo which is what we were looking for.
5094445,44104813,2015-08-24,27208867,Alastair,Amazing 5 star experience! The Hideaway is perfectly located and Bills attention to detail is incredible. The photos do not do this place justice. We didn't want to leave! Can't wait to visit again

5094445,45666060,2015-09-05,32047841,Sallie,"A relaxing sanctuary (oh, the pool!!) in such a fun location! Surrounded by trendy eats and the well-cared-for eclectic beauty of Travis Heights, it was the perfect spot to get all the ""Austin"" we came for. The home was clean, stylish, and Bill was so kind to provide everything we needed with even some nice extra touches. It was a lovely stay! We were traveling with twin toddlers, so the only feedback I would give for parents traveling with youngsters would be to bring a baby gate for the top of the stairs. "
5094445,46113521,2015-09-08,6179424,Charlotte,"Our stay at the Hideaway was nothing short of perfect. Bill was very accommodating, friendly, and accessible. The house was gorgeously decorated and the pool (not to mention the great air conditioning) was  so nice to come home to. It truly felt like home. An added plus is location - 5 minute walk from bustling South Congress but private, green and peaceful. Can't recommend highly enough! Thank you Bill!"
5094445,46476319,2015-09-11,27855915,Cari,"We had an exceptional stay at the Hideway. A few highlights: 

1- The private pool was wonderful. 
2- The location was outstanding and it was easy to get everywhere in Austin that we needed to be (but, we had a rental car)
3- LOVED the chic decor!
4- Bed was very comfortable. 

Overall, we highly recommend this place. It is the best AirBnB we've had so far. "

We loved the experience, the ambiance... It was a quiet and peaceful oasis...

The bed was heavenly! We didn't want to interrupt our sublime snoozing....

The pool was beautiful, exhilarating and p r i v a t e.

Bill was extremely nice and accommodating. Mr. Norton was an absolutely charming doggie. :)

We will be back! :)"
5094445,49215409,2015-10-02,34773491,Emily,"The Hideaway exceeded our expectations. Located just about 5 minutes from the heart of bustling South Congress, it was a quiet sanctuary to come home to.

Bill was a fantastic host and very accommodating for check in and check out, and he also gave us numerous restaurant recommendations, all of which were delicious. The apartment was spacious, air conditioned, had fast wifi, lots of natural light, was very clean and very stylishly decorated with lots of Jonathan Adler accessories. We used the pool to cool off on a hot Sunday afternoon and it was perfect. The apartment was a short walk to south congress ave, which has tons of great shops and restaurants. We walked there for breakfast every morning and dinner a couple nights. It was also a short uber ride to Rainy street and Zilker Park. The Travis Heights neighborhood was lovely. Highly recommend this place."
5094445,50914468,2015-10-16,17784406,Helen,"The apartment is gorgeous - better even than we expected. It looks stylish, but it is also comfortable and calm. A very relaxing place to stay.

Overall, a great experience. We would come back and stay again for sure."

5094445,52209589,2015-10-27,30800992,Benjamin,"Awesome location to stay in Austin. Grest taste in decoration, very good host. Only a quick ride to South Congress or downtown while privately tucked away. "
5094445,52569663,2015-10-31,29014936,Kathryn,"STAY HERE!!

Our stay in Austin was perfect thanks to Bill's place. The apartment was spacious, spotless and very comfortable throughout, with a lovely pool that we couldn't help using every day. The beds were both great and the extra touches like robes, toiletries and drinks really made this place extra special. The privacy, comfort and enjoyment that the property provided (including the pool!) made our stay a true delight.

Location was also perfect. Safe, quiet neighbourhood just 5 mins walk to centre of South Congress (also with easy bus or walking access downtown).

You'd be silly not to stay here.

Oh and the private pool....did we mention the pool? ♡"
5094445,53044088,2015-11-04,38681696,Kayleigh,"My boyfriend and I just stayed 2 nights at The Hideaway and absolutely loved it! Bill made us feel incredibly welcomed and even left a welcome card. In the words of my boyfriend, ""the pictures did not do the space justice."" It was everything we hoped it would be and in a great location. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying at The Hideaway. "

3991419,25572051,2015-01-19,25897709,Donna,"The location was great, downtown Austin and the Barton Springs area are only 5-10 minutes away and could be walked/biked if you preferred.  While the place was cute, it did have a very musty smell to it.  The temperature was set very low as well, so on a cold day didn't really feel welcoming.  Other than that it was very spacious and had everything we needed for the weekend. "
3991419,26369664,2015-02-10,22028512,Joey,"This rental was fantastic in every way.  Check in was super easy with the lock code on the door.  No need to meet up for keys.

Unfortunately, due to a family emergency, we were unable to meet Leia and Keri in person, but graciously they still let us stay at their house. For the morning they left us a few items for breakfast, and they were always willing and able to answer any questions we had. They offered up some suggestions for places to eat, and they kept good communication despite the fact that they were not in town. The bed was really comfortable and the private bathroom was very nice and spacious. The neighborhood was in a good location, central to all the action and close to shopping. The neighborhood was also really quiet and seemed very safe, with very friendly neighbors! Overall the home was beautiful and we would definitely stay there again!"

Leia was warm and welcoming, but totally leaves you to do your own thing.  I just came in for the night so that I could attend a wedding in downtown Austin.  It was a convenient and quiet place for me to get ready for the wedding, and then conk out after the reception.  And the home is beautiful, nicely appointed, and completely comfortable.  They are very thoughtful hosts -- I am very grateful for such an effortless stay.  Thank you!"

It is a little ways out of town--not far if you are coming with a car, but not exactly transit accessible. It worked great for me for a night and was exactly what I needed. I slept peacefully and Leia and Keri were both very friendly."

676959,11050515,2014-03-18,622546,Faryn,"My husband and I recently stayed with Leia & Keri for 4 nights while we were in Austin for SXSW.  Our busy schedule didn't allow us to meet until late in our stay and only briefly, but they are very welcoming and gracious!  The room is very cozy and clean and it was a nice, quiet refuge after being in busy Austin all day working!  It's only about a 10 min straight shot drive to the funky S. 1st and S. Congress St. areas too.  We would definitely recommend their place to anyone traveling to Austin!  :)"

We stayed on the upper level so we really had our privacy. The bedroom and bathroom were very clean and inviting and Leia & Keri were very accommodating and easy going hosts. The pets are adorable and very affectionate and we very much enjoyed their presence. All in all a great stay. Would definitely return!

The pets are incredibly friendly, which we loved! We felt that we could come and go as we pleased without disturbing anyone, even late at nigh. This location is wonderful - close enough to all of the action, but still a quiet, suburban oasis for you to rest your head. We'd definitely stay here again and we highly recommend you do too - just not during our vacation time, we'd like this place to be available when we need it! ;-)"
676959,11699396,2014-04-12,13868894,Melanie,"This is such a beautiful home with lots of charm, the most charming is the three ladies who live here. We had a wonderful time in Austin and will be sure to return!!! We are very thankful for this space!"
676959,11841268,2014-04-16,8924316,Celeste,I felt like I was at home here. The girls were so welcoming and I would definately stay again! Thank you so much for making me feel so welcomed. I'll be coming back to stay again :) super awesome home!

676959,12185201,2014-04-25,12928749,Dave,"Thanks much to Leia and Keri for their very private and comfortable guest bedroom and bath.  The location was perfect for visiting my folks who live in South Austin and it's close to tons of wonderful restaurants (Fuddruckers and delicious Cajun place) as well as close to South Congress and downtown Austin and the Ladybird Wildflower center is nearby.  By the way, an awesome display of spring flowers on this trip, the bluebonnets were stunning!  Thanks again for welcoming me into your home!"
676959,12283491,2014-04-28,2406164,Jacquelyn,"Comfortable, private room with bath ....  A bit far from the airport, so better to have a car.   "
676959,12576122,2014-05-05,14277634,Katrina,"Stayed with Leia & Keri for just one night while passing through Buda for a wedding. My boyfriend and I didnt arrive to their place until almost midnight and they were so understanding and left everything ready for us when we got there. What a beautiful home!! Had a great experience, would definitely recommend their place!"
676959,12769833,2014-05-10,15226508,Albert,"My stay was brief, but fantastic. It exceeded my expectations and I would gladly stay there again. The hosts were welcoming and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. They also provided me with a few restaurant recommendations, which were much appreciated. "
676959,12773330,2014-05-11,10644501,David,"""Cozy and private"" should also have included luxurious!
Leia and Keri were great hosts, and I only wish I could have stayed longer!
The room I had was great and had a private bathroom, and was worthy of a five star hotel. I loved meeting the pets, and Guinness and I will be mates for life! 
If you are looking for a great place to stay in Austin, this is it."
676959,13021891,2014-05-17,12924510,Wendy,"I had a lovely stay with Leia and Keri.  Their home is beautiful and they are wonderful hosts, even made space in their fridge for me to keep food while I was there.  I just wanted some down time while I was in Austin, and they gave me all the space in the world to come and go as I liked and just hang out.  "
676959,13032798,2014-05-18,6770310,Milan,We had a brilliant stay in Austin at Leia and Keri's lovely house. Leia was a kind and welcoming host - we felt completely at ease. She also gave us some great tips about how to best use our time in Austin. The room and bathroom are impeccably clean and tidy and perfectly comfortable. Thank you!
676959,13094513,2014-05-19,14750330,Roger,"Leia & Keri were fantastic hosts! Very friendly and helpful and knew of all the hot spots in town. Location was very modern, functional, and spacious with turn-key amenities. Would stay again!

676959,13367456,2014-05-26,3745461,Tj,The house was super clean and comfortable. Keri was very accommodating to my unusual arrival time and she had a few very friendly pets. It was nice to have a nice sized TV to watch in bed and an easy set up for check in and out. My wife and I would definitely stay again. 
676959,14089498,2014-06-11,15358134,Tuyet,Beautiful house. Clean bedroom and bathroom. Not too far from Austin. Leia and Keri were very accommodating! Great hosts!
676959,14294791,2014-06-16,6179067,John,"It was a fantastic stay, the house is very very new. We stayed for two nights at the room downstairs and we had a bathroom to use. It was clean and everything the listing says and more. The room was tastefully decorated and had a TV mounted on the wall that you can enjoy while laying on the very comfortable bed. The neigbhourhood is new too and will def stay here next time."
676959,14435332,2014-06-19,612184,Amber,"This home is amazing and would suggest that you stay here.  I stayed in the private room down stairs with private bathroom.  It was very clean, roomy, easy check in/out, kitchen is very nice, and the pool is very enjoyable.  Plus very affordable!  "
676959,14804638,2014-06-26,13625449,Tina,Great place! Exactly as described and Leia and Keri are awesome hosts would stay with them next time I'm in the area!

676959,15719527,2014-07-14,7267763,Oscar,"Comfy, safe, convenient and clean room.  I stayed 2 days, came in late and left early twice and never met the hosts, which was ok because they provided me with easy access.  "
676959,15845821,2014-07-16,9618974,Vicky,"Beautiful house, very safe, friendly hosts. Everything you could ask for from an airbnb. Loved and disliked that the room was right by entrance. Pro: since it's such a big house it feels more private rather than being right next to other people. Con: a little loud since next to door. But overall: One of my best experiences so far. Definitely would return. "
676959,16027991,2014-07-20,10467115,Jen,"Great neighborhood, beautiful house, fun and friendly animals in the home. Hosts were thoughtful. We were out and about for most of our trip, so we hardly saw them, but when we did they were helpful and kind."
676959,16170426,2014-07-22,18057084,Brian,"This was my first time using AirBnB and it was such a great experience! Leia and Keri were very friendly, helpful, and respectful. Highly recommended! "
676959,16304488,2014-07-25,3040138,Carolyn,"Keri and Leia were wonderful, hospital hosts. Their home was immaculate and lovely and only 9 miles from downtown. They answered all of our questions, were helpful and offered suggestions on what to see and do. The only piece of info that may  be helpful to future house guests is the bed in the downstairs bedroom is only a full size. It can be a little bit of a tight squeeze for two people, but my cousin and I shared it and were fine. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to visit Austin."
676959,16683225,2014-07-31,1831778,Lules,Good option! :)
676959,16856212,2014-08-03,18108448,Sharon,Leia & Keri were very gracious hosts.   I enjoyed my stay and would recommend their place to anyone needing a place to stay in their area.  I was able to come and go with no problems.
676959,16991890,2014-08-05,5119101,Pascale,"Keri and Leia's house is georgous and very clean. 
The bedroom and bathroom are located at the entrance of the house which is very good for privacy. We really enjoyed having breakfast outside, next to the pool. We have seen Leia just once but we got a chance to chat with Keri at breakfast. She is really laid back and made us comfortable. Great location of the house as well, close to the main attractions and also to a Wallmart which was very convenient. 
 "
676959,17224443,2014-08-09,17860278,Leslie & Michelle,"Great first experience using airbnb! Leia's suggestion of what to do around the city of Austin made our stay 100x better! We stayed in the room downstairs and it was perfect. We looked forward coming home after a long & tiring day. The room is located right by the entrance so you are free to come and go without disturbing anyone. Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet Keri but Leia was a wonderful host! Definitely staying here again next time we visit Austin.     "
676959,17422104,2014-08-11,19631309,Elizabeth,"I really enjoyed my stay. The home was very nice, clean and setup in a accommodating manner for guests. Everyone was extremely friendly and nice ~ :)"
676959,17921143,2014-08-18,11475716,Stuart,Hosts where lovely and very accommodating of a very late same day booking. Room was lovely and just what we needed after a week of camping and youth hostels. Would love to go back and spend some more time there.
676959,18099948,2014-08-21,831863,Kevin,"The room was nice and the neiborhood was safe.  The distance to downtown was about 8 miles, but not so much of an issue and easy to get to.  Keri was very responsive in getting back to me through texting in communicating questions and information.  We didn't get to talk much to Leia and Keri as it seemed they had a busy schedule, but seemed liked open and accepting people who had no issues with accepting people from all walks of life and choice.  "
676959,18252148,2014-08-24,18157050,Gerrad,Exactly as described.  Love the location with everything you'd need within a couple of minutes.  Very conveniently located near I-35 for running back and forth downtown.  I will definitely check availability for the next time I'm in Austin!  Don't hesitate to book this room!  
676959,18313341,2014-08-25,16576826,Bess,"Ultimate AirBnB experience! We were in town for a wedding and needed a place for one night. Nice, clean room with private bathroom in a great neighborhood. Close to the city. Close to Salt Lick. We were warmly greeted by the hosts and Hurley. The guest room is close to the front door, and perfectly arranged for AirBnB. Highly recommend!"
676959,18757222,2014-08-31,19997790,Wayne,This place far surpassed my expectations.  I will definitely use airbnb in the future.  The neighborhood was quiet and the house was beautiful.  Very clean house and very nice hosts.  They answered all of my first timer question promptly and accurately.  All of my special requests were granted and the party with me enjoyed her conversation with the hosts so much she would like to work for airbnb.  The room and restroom were clean ans spacious and I don't think I could have wished for a better stay.
676959,19041603,2014-09-05,12368107,Greg,Leia and Keri were both very welcoming and generous. Their home is beautiful and the room is very comfortable. They also graciously let us use their washer and dryer. I'd love to come back. 
676959,19397510,2014-09-11,16950499,Mollie,My boyfriend and I stayed three nights with Keri and Leia. The home is just as advertised. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed and our space was very private. When we had queries Keri and Leia were quick to respond and very helpful. Would recommend! 
676959,19452299,2014-09-12,13905466,Jordan,Very welcoming. No problem only positive vibes.
676959,19533150,2014-09-14,6237695,Mary,Leia and Keri were wonderful hosts. The home was clean and comfortable.  Entrance and exit was simple.

"
676959,19981309,2014-09-21,7292138,Kimberly,"Perfect for a weekend stay in Austin. Everything was as described - very clean, convenient and easy access.  We will definitely use again!"
676959,20259495,2014-09-26,20490980,Marc,same great experience as last week
676959,20370572,2014-09-28,21176742,Cecilia,"The neighborhood was quiet, the house was tidy and comfortable, and our hosts Leia and Keri were helpful and friendly.  For our traveling needs (airport to Austin, Austin to Kyle, Austin to Lake Travis) the location was perfect.  We had the bathroom to ourselves, and I was able to store breastmilk in the freezer - a lifesaver!!  The keypad is a nice touch, not having to worry about keys.  Overall a great experience."
676959,20810812,2014-10-06,14543879,Marla,"Leia & Keri made us feel welcome as soon as we booked our room, which was about 6mos in advance! They were flexible with our check-in time and were very friendly and accommodating upon our arrival. Once we met we were re-assured to make ourselves at home and to not hesitate asking if there was anything we needed. 
The listing description is exactly as is! Our room was very nice...clean, comfortable, private and so was the restroom which was right outside the bedroom. A TV, fan and WiFi were available in our room as well. Leia & Keri have a beautiful and immaculate home in a beautiful/quiet neighborhood which is close to the freeway & easy access to gas stations, fast food & dine-in establishments and a Starbucks! We were also able to come and go as we pleased, which was very convenient. If this sounds like what you're looking for, look no further!!"
676959,21013132,2014-10-09,13385780,Ariana,"It was our first time using airbnb, and it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The bedroom was comfortable and bathroom spotless. The temp inside the house was perfect. Would highly recommend staying in this beautiful charming house. "
676959,21201005,2014-10-13,12406021,Ash,"The house is gorgeous + the room cozy! We only briefly met our hosts, and they keep the pool door locked when not around, which was a super bummer, as it looked like a great outdoor space! Just so you are aware, this is VERY far out of Austin + we spent so much on taxis that we could have stayed at the Four Seasons for nearly the same price. "
676959,21311187,2014-10-14,13385780,Ariana,Leia and Keri were great hosts! The room was clean and cozy and the adjacent private bathroom was very convenient. The house itself is beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here!
676959,21674813,2014-10-21,20954283,Jud,"Lovely home in an upscale neighborhood.
The hosts are great and make you feel right at home.
Full kitchen and nice yard with pool.
Bedroom and bath are private.
I highly recommend this one."
676959,21805505,2014-10-24,5338395,Jamie,"Leia and Keri made us feel absolutely welcome and incredibly trusted in their beautiful home. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet them as we arrived while they were out and were gone before they woke up. But the room/bathroom was everything that was advertised, and it was immensely needed. The surrounding area was incredibly safe, and within very reasonable distance from Austin. And the city was absolutely beautiful. All in all, our stay was awesome, and our hosts were very gracious!"
676959,21864792,2014-10-25,7582039,Alix,"This was a very good experience to stay here
Keri and Leia are not only host a warm house and also give us adventure suggestions. We are having a fun time here. Definitely will come here next time "
676959,22029271,2014-10-28,11356333,Laura,"Beautiful home in Austin and perfectly set up for guests. We stayed in the front bedroom and were met with courtesy and professionalism from Leia and Keri. The home itself is spectacular and a steal at the price we paid. The house is immaculately clean, parking is easy and plentiful, and the hosts were responsive and extremely easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again when back in Austin."
676959,22203335,2014-11-01,9476527,Rongchao,"Leia & Keri Feray are amazing outdoorers. Although we talked little, they offer us cozy room and everything available to toursist. Not far from downtown Austin, the house has very convenient location with Target and several restaurants nearby. It is the impressive experience. By the way, the cat and dog so lovely."
676959,22288617,2014-11-03,2723198,Shane,We felt very welcome and at home with Leia and Keri. The location is great for getting to Circuit of America's and general amenities like food and restaurants.  The house is very clean and bang on to how it is described in the ad.  We would stay there again.
676959,22621863,2014-11-10,17382811,Erika,"We had a wonderful stay with Leia and Keri!  The description of the house and room were exactly as the listing described.  We felt very comfortable staying here and would recommend this space to anyone who needs a cozy room to stay in while visiting Austin!

Leia and Keri were very friendly and made us feel right at home!  We also loved playing with their little dog and cat!

The neighborhood was really beautiful, clean and we felt very safe.

I have nothing but positive feedback about our experience!

"
676959,22940049,2014-11-17,218925,Ann Marie,Great big home located in South Austin.  Lovely couple that took me in at the last minute when my heater in my home went out.  The room and bathroom were very comfy and clean.  I had a lot of privacy and enjoyed my stay.  Thanks again!! 
676959,23065623,2014-11-22,21781399,Carolina,"Nice place. Pretty and quiet neighborhood, not too close to downtown Austin. Perfect for relaxing one night. "
676959,23234777,2014-11-25,1417829,Lara,"Lovely stay in a beautiful home. I actually really can't overstate how  beautiful, spacious, and immaculately well-kept their home was. Leia and Keri were my kind of hosts--friendly and conversational at my prompting, but more than happy to let me just do my own thing in my room and crash early. Comfy bed, clean sheets, soothing color palette, extra blankets in the closet, etc. The room also had its own wall-mounted flat screen equipped with U-Verse, which I didn't realize at the time of booking but that was an extra nice bonus! Room and private bath are right off the front entry, which allows for maximum privacy, and easy in-and-out throughout the evening. Front door is controlled by a punch code which was also super convenient.

I'd stay here again without hesitation. Thanks for a great stay, ladies!"
676959,24455851,2014-12-28,20697363,Yuvraj,Very easy transaction. Leia & Keri accommodated us on a very short notice and the place was perfect for our stay. Very clean and easily accessible. Thank you!
676959,25255875,2015-01-10,25514029,Travis,"Nice hosts, clean room / bathroom & comfortable bed.  "
676959,25347386,2015-01-12,2275168,Jeffrey,"The host was super - it was a last minute request, and, they were right on it;  they asked questions about our needs and made us feel that they cared.  All went well."
676959,25675939,2015-01-22,10921491,Pete,"Tucked in a development south of the city. Not too hard to find or to get around (Austin's traffic patterns are strange, though, so be ready for anything). Very comfortable, quiet, and welcoming. Really appreciated use of the kitchen for some vegetarian cooking. Was able to take a nice walk around the neighborhood without any trouble. So nice, we even asked to stay again."
676959,25738990,2015-01-25,22915531,Sarah,Didn't get to meet Keri and Leia but checking in was super easy and the space was great. :)
676959,26147128,2015-02-04,26074966,Patrick,"Description was quite accurate. The neighborhood is very quiet, but close enough to shopping areas. Leia and Keri made me feel extremely welcomed, and are great communicators."
676959,26383223,2015-02-10,14522908,Stephen &  Felicity,A fantastic and comfortable stay. A really smooth booking. We unfortunately did not meet Leia and Keri but their communication was superb and made our stay stress free. The room and their home is immaculate and inviting. Thanks once again!
676959,26411789,2015-02-11,4907171,Sahil,Everything was just perfect.  This is the place to be if you're staying in Austin
676959,26560003,2015-02-15,18062559,Kati,"Airbnb Superhosts Leia & Keri have perfect accommodations in a very clean home. The linens were so fresh! The room is quiet and the private bath is just next door to the room - very convenient! It was so clean and quiet I even enjoyed soaking in the bath during my stay! The room includes a helpful luggage rack and a chair. And the bath included small soaps, cotton balls and q-tips. The hosts have thought of so many wonderful details! The house and room were accurately pictured and the hosts were excellent at communicating before and during my stay - very quick to respond. I highly recommend this listing! Leia and Keri have done a great job!"
676959,26668840,2015-02-16,2129347,Patricia & Tyson,"We had a comfortable stay at Leia and Keri's place. The place was beautiful, clean and quiet. It was just what we needed after a long drive from Illinois."
676959,26805445,2015-02-19,23753942,Claudia,"This was my first experience with Airbnb. I must say that if every host is like Leia and Keri this is the best way of traveling. 
They were very kind sending me the info prior to my arrival. I travel with my partner and had no trouble finding the house and once we got there everything was perfect. Nice room, very clean with TV and wifi. The bathroom is also in perfect conditions, they even put some bottled water. 
We had the chance to meet them and  some of their friends that were having dinner and they even offered some chilli!
I highly recommend staying with them if you are visiting Austin. "
676959,26969048,2015-02-22,27130364,Georgia,"The place was very quite, cleaned and confortable. I really would recomend to evereybody! "
676959,27411323,2015-03-03,27861990,Cynthia,"The room and home were just as described. The room was very comfy and the hosts welcoming. The room had a large flat screen TV, and a private bathroom very close by. Coming and going was a breeze with the door code. I did not speak with the hosts very much as I was out quite a bit, but when I did, they were both very easy going and genuine! Everything was more than I expected and very professional. I would most definitely stay there again."
676959,27545772,2015-03-07,10477064,Leslie,Our stay with Keri & Leia was very enjoyable.  Their place is clean & comfortable.  Austin traffic can be a challenge but the 30-40 minute drive from downtown was doable. There was just the right balance between interaction and privacy.
676959,27735087,2015-03-10,14278800,Melanie,"Ruhiges, sauberes Zimmer mit grosser Küche/ Wohnzimmer zur Mitbenutzung. Einfach und unkompliziertes Check-In/ Out. Angenehme, entspannte Gastgeber. Für die 1x Nacht Zwischenstopp für uns genau das Richtige."
676959,27817578,2015-03-12,28762463,Alex,The post describes the room precisely. The hosts made it seem very welcoming. We will definitely return!
676959,27932411,2015-03-15,7658707,Janille,"Leia and Keri were the best hosts. Their home is stunning and incredibly clean - we didn't even want to dispose any items in the trash bin because it was that immaculate. I was in town for SXSW and Leia was kind enough to print out the roundtrip bus schedule. We ended up taking Uber and Lyft the whole time as it was still an affordable option to get downtown especially if using the UberPool or Lyft Line option which pairs you with another rider going in the same direction for a split cost. 

SXSW can be overwhelming so the ambiance that the home emanated was exactly what we needed to help pace and recharge ourselves to take on each day.

We would certainly stay here again. "
676959,28131561,2015-03-18,21532160,Phuong,Helaas heb ik mijn reis vanwege persoonlijke redenen moeten afzeggen. Leia & Keri waren snel met reageren en ik voelde mij meteen al welkom na acceptatie vanwege hun vriendelijke manier van communiceren.
676959,28197928,2015-03-19,29581964,Derek,"Nice accommodations, modern home with all amenities covered. A great deal and no hassle, I would definitely recommend them."
676959,28658134,2015-03-28,19403593,Mike,"Great stay! Both Leia and Keri were super friendly and I felt very welcomed and relaxed. I am currently traveling the country so it was nice to have somewhere that felt like home. I was able to cook and do laundry which is huge when you are on a budget. The room was super chill and I ran frequently around the neighborhood. If you map it right you can get 3 Miles by retracing your steps a few times. 

I was close to everything and downtown was about 15-20 minutes if you hit traffic. I'd recommend checking out Cafe Malta which is down the street. Super cool brunch place and wasn't packed at all on Sunday. Also check out Rainey st. That neighborhood is full of local bars an is bad ass! 

I hope to run into both Leia and Keri while I'm in town for the rest of my stay (I'm hopping around Austin but should have just stayed with them for the month.) "

We had a really nice stay, our bed was super comfortable, the room was really beautiful, and the house  is very nice.

676959,30774313,2015-04-27,25695168,Randi,"Leia & Keri met us at the door immediately upon entering their home. They were extremely friendly and welcoming. They showed us to our room and then showed us around the house and kitchen, informing us that we were more than welcome to use all appliances, pots/pans, etc. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet and seemed very safe. "

However, when we met Keri, she was very warm and welcoming and made sure we were having a comfortable stay. We were also very close to everywhere we wanted to go! Thanks, guys!"
676959,32802586,2015-05-21,209637,Jamar,The Feray home is nice and very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and recommend them without reservation.
676959,32931831,2015-05-23,20534444,Taylor,"Our stay was very pleasant. My girlfriend and I came for a wedding in Austin and didn't get to spend much time in the home due to wedding festivities, but the private room and bathroom were clean and uncluttered, perfect for what needed for our short stay. The house was very nice, big but still warm and inviting. Though we didn't get to interact with our hosts much, they made everything really easy. Definitely a place to stay in Austin away from the hubbub and would do it again. "

676959,34177950,2015-06-05,23163525,Scott,"Such a stunning home. I was taken aback By the room and the space. Unfortunately I never got to meet Leia and Keri, which would have been  nice because it was such a lovely home it would've been nice to get an overview.  Overall positive, my only constructive comment  is that I felt as if I were staying in someone else's house- everything seemed off limits and I felt more secure staying in my own allocated room.

I was traveling for business earlier in the week and needed a place to stay for a night in Austin before starting up a vacation at the end of the week. The home was lovely and pristine. The room and bathroom are right at the entrance of the house and separate enough from the rest of the house that there was ample privacy. In the morning, I went for a trail run in the beautiful park right near the house. Then on my way out I met Leia who was super nice. I highly recommend."

There's even a fun little hiking trail not far from the house! I was able to come and go as I pleased, cook and even did a little bit of laundry. My room was at the front of the house sort of away from everything else and it was nice having that privacy. This was my first airbnb experience and this definitely set the bar high! "

Keri and Leia were great, respond all questions quickly even when they were out.
Kitchen is hugh, with all the utensils, plate, bowl, bits and bolts available, not that I have used much of them. There is also nice capsule coffee machine too. Washing machine and dryer are huge for whatever you want to throw in.
Very sweet cat and dog.
Great place, will definitely be my no.1 choice next time I'm back to Austin."

The house was very clean upon arrival, even with jazz music playing for more hospitality! The binder had all the information we needed, so we never had to contact anyone. It was very thorough with instructions, suggestions, and local spots. My family is moving to Austin, and staying in this neighborhood felt like we had already moved. We couldn't have asked for a better first AirBNB experience!"

I got my own key to use, the map and the hints what is the best to see around the town. If you plan to stay longer it's wise to borrow the car though. "

Her place was really clean, she knew all about Austin, she was very friendly and even let me borrow her guys bike that I was able to ride all around town with. You can get downtown in 10-15 min by car, and there was an even an In-N-Out 2 min away for my late night burger cravings. Overall I didn't have any complaints and I would strongly recommend booking with Rachael especially for the upcoming South By Southwest festival!"

She is a gracious and friendly host, the room I stayed in was comfortable and clean, and I really felt at home during the whole visit.

I got awesome sleep every night I was there. Thanks again for a great stay! "

1735020,10930189,2014-03-13,1838119,Stephen,"Rachael keeps an incredibly clean and inviting space. Her two dogs are adorable and well behaved. She was surprisingly accommodating with my arrival and departure even though she arrived back to Austin the same day I flew in. The house is best experienced with a rental car, since there's not much within walking distance."

Loved her two dogs, they were so sweet.  Was in a good area.  It took us more than normal to get to downtown but I think it's just because traffic in ATX has just gotten so bad.  The house is actually really close.  

I would recommend staying at her airBnb , "

It's a good thing to note that it is a challenge with public transportation, but the bus and uber made it possible to get around (it's definitely good to know the schedule ahead of time). "
1735020,21813881,2014-10-24,9039753,Jonathan,"So where do I start? My stay at Rachael's was simply incredible! The place is beautiful, incredibly representative of the images on show, the facilities are excellent, there are local amenities in the area; a large supermarket with a few fast food restaurants, a taxi home from downtown is very affordable and quick, the two dogs are adorable sand the bed is supremely comfortable! The place is perfect if you are looking to chill out or to party and Rachael herself is a fantastic host! I can definitely recommend this place!!"
1735020,22258770,2014-11-02,6340848,Lanisa,"Rachel's charming house was a great choice for a weekend trip to Austin. Her house was clean and beautifully decorated and the bonus were her super friendly and adorable pups! Location was right by a freeway exit with ample street parking, so it was easy to get to/from downtown, especially with a car. If her other guest room is occupied during the same time, be prepared to share the restroom with up to 1-2 additional guests."
1735020,25914581,2015-01-29,8052814,Maximilian,My stay at Rachael's was super easy going and all-in-all very nice. She provides s very nice bedroom for her guests and assists with anything needed. Thx for hosting me ;-)

1735020,31608148,2015-05-07,31883151,Nicola,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and I'm extremely satiesfied about it. My stay at Rachael house was just perfect!
The house is very cozy and beautifully decorated. I got upgraded in the bigger room which was spacious and with a very comfortable bed.  I enjoyed the fantastic living room with a nice couch and a huge flat screen tv . A full kitchen was on the other side of the living room and sometimes I used it to prepare my breakfast and meals.
I loved Rachael company and the one of her dogs! It was great come back there after work in the evening and find them at the door to welcome me!
The house has an amazing backyard and is extremely quiet, perfect to get some good relax and sleep!
The location is very convenient too! Just out of higway 35 and only 15 minutes from the airport. I had a rental car and I could go easily dowtown anytime I wanted in 10 minutes. 
Nearby there is the newley made Mueller park where I had the chance to go for some running.

1735020,33033458,2015-05-24,4021251,Markus,Great place! Such a nice house! 3 min to a bus that takes you downtown every 30 min! 
1735020,34365467,2015-06-07,15354816,Nevi,"I had a lovely stay with Rachael and her two super cute pups. Rachael was very hospitable, kind, and giving and her bed was so comfortable! It's also very easy to get to from anywhere in Austin as long as you have a car or take uber (which is easy and cheap in Austin). I would be happy to stay with her again."
1735020,43889638,2015-08-22,42042466,Joshua,"I was welcomed the duration of my stay at this location. Rachael is a kind person, and keeps her home orderly, clean, and most importantly made this guest feel like I was at home by allowing access.

One particular difficulty in leaving was two special puppy dogs, Smokey and Pooh Bear. Their company added to the pleasure of my stay.

The homeowner had plenty of suggestions as a local for nightlife. I took full advantage of her suggestion and had a great time on Rainey Street.

I reccomend, and will stay at this home again.

Thanks Rachael!"
1735020,45904639,2015-09-06,26881105,Teresa,Rachael is a lovely host. Her home was rad and very accommodating for our little family. Very clean bedroom and bathroom. The location was great and easy access to everything. She offered juice and bagels in the AM and was very sweet and friendly. My six year old loved the peacocks and goats near by. 
1735020,47922856,2015-09-21,21377295,Neil,"Rachael's house was beautiful and spotlessly clean! Her dogs are also adorable! Really great location, close to downtown, Mueller Park/Sunday Farmers Market, and everything else in Austin! She is very accommodating! Highly recommend!"
1735020,48956899,2015-09-29,4967858,Nancy,Adorable house and Rachael was a super friendly & helpful host!
1735020,49503181,2015-10-04,44188520,Mercedes,"I loved how beautiful the house was. It looked like something out of HGTV! The bed was extremely comfortable and Rachael had coffee and muffins waiting for us every morning. Her dogs were absolutely precious, ESPECIALLY POOH BEAR! The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and on the last day we spent about an hour or so just walking around looking at how beautiful the houses were, and even had a chance to see peacocks. I would recommend anyone and everyone to stay with Rachael as we had a wonderful experience. "
1735020,50325189,2015-10-11,43536833,Elisabeth,"Rachel was the quintessential host. In addition to maintaining a beautiful home, she is absolutely wonderful. This was my first time using AirBnb, and Rachel helped me navigate a few bumps in the road with kindness. She also gave excellent recommendations for restaurants!"
1735020,52006400,2015-10-25,14854273,Casey,Rachael's house is very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was very convenient to everywhere we wanted to visit in Austin. Her dogs are super cute! 
3924705,28073772,2015-03-17,10177456,Samantha,My colleagues stayed here for SXSW and had a great time. The house was clean and Danielle was very helpful.
555484,2983527,2012-11-27,4172425,Tal,"The house was clean, new and in perfect condition.  Todd was a perfect host.  He explained everything clearly, was communicative and even left us a bottle of wine!"
21126,3490548,2013-02-06,489504,Greg,"This is THE perfect place to stay to experience Austin.  The home was very clean and inviting, beds were comfortable, and overall it was an excellent value for the size of the accommodations and the great location.  The owner was super easy to communicate with which is always a bonus.  Everything we needed was there - just like home but better!

21126,15164354,2014-07-03,16240747,Victoria,"I enjoyed the neighborhood, the unit and the hosts. It was a pleasure staying at the house. I had a very comfortable nights sleep and enjoyed walking in the mornings. Beautiful."
21126,17416453,2014-08-11,5944258,Andrea,"My group and I were so impressed with our home away from home! The moment we arrived we enjoyed the scenery with the beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We were also a 5 minute drive from Congress, perfect!We loved the decor inside too. 
You will enjoy the outdoor porch at night, where my group and I enjoyed a glass of wine, and coffee in the morning! The neighborhood is also beautiful for a morning stroll, where we met the kind neighbors. 
Dani is a wonderful host. You will enjoy your stay! Can't wait to be back :)"
21126,17961469,2014-08-19,19069601,Gia,"If you're going to Austin, this apartment (or Dani's similar listings) in Travis Heights is the place to stay. Forget Downtown. Dani's apartment is modern, yet cozy, and fully equipped. We stayed with another couple and were completely comfortable. Dani also had some AMAZING restaurant recs to share with us. I did not want to leave. From the natural light to the decor, this place is perfect and well-priced. Perfect place to share a weekend among friends. 

I will recommend it to friends, and will look to stay with Dani again when I return to Austin. "
21126,23057094,2014-11-21,9068105,Ellie,"Everything was perfect at the Green Door. Very nice accommodations and well equipped. We had a family of 4 and a dog and it was great for us. The location is also great. Dani was very accommodating, allowing us an early check in and very responsive. "
21126,23145103,2014-11-24,5380359,Julie,"Very clean and cozy in a great neighborhood. Close to great bars, restaurants, shops, and night life. We had a great time at Dani's place and would love to return again.  "
21126,23665719,2014-12-07,24386384,Cody,We had a great experience! Quiet neighbourhood that is only minutes from downtown Austin!
21126,25137312,2015-01-07,7241470,Jennifer,"My husband & I stayed in the Green Door condo with my brother and his wife for a long weekend bumming around Austin.  Everything about our stay was terrific -- the condo is clean, outfitted with everything you need (dishes, cookware, towels, wifi, space!), and has a great vintage/retro vibe.  It's located in a quiet and peaceful residential neighborhoods, but is within walking distance to all the SOCO shops and eateries and an easy drive to everything else in Austin.  We were really pleased with our stay -- highly recommended!"
21126,27270953,2015-03-01,10659607,Katie,"Dani and Joel were extremely responsive and were fantastic hosts.  Their property is absolutely beautiful - we will stay there again when we come back!  The neighborhood is really cool - rent a car and you're less than 10 minutes from everything.  It was a great place to come ""home"" to when we were enjoying the city of Austin.  Dani and Joel thought of pretty much everything their guests could need or want.  Excellent stay!"
21126,28399510,2015-03-23,61366,Atlanta,I stayed during Sxsw with my friends at socospace. The house was bright modern and clean and Dani thought of every possible thing a guest could need. The kitchen was fabulous for cooking and the French press coffee maker was great . The location is in a a beautiful residential neighborhood and was a perfect hideaway from the downtown madness. I rode my bike into town and it was about 15 minute easy commute . I love this house  
21126,29817293,2015-04-13,25865967,Cooper,"Green door was amazing! Everything in the unit was exactly as described. Close to South Congress, but in a quiet neighborhood where you can sip a drink on the porch. We plan on visiting Austin again soon and will definitely use SoCo Spaces. "
21126,34147539,2015-06-05,8268590,James,"A mid century gem in SoCo! In my effort to avoid hotels during my travels,  I look for quiet and unique niche properties to visit...Dani gave me just the place.  
The Green Door is exceptionally close to Congress, Barton Springs and all of downtown Austin. Freeway access is just a few turns away, but the house is quiet and cozy in great neighborhood.
Dani was exceptional in communication and even accommodating my late night arrival. 
Thanks again for a great stay. This is my new stay when visiting Austin!"
21126,38022740,2015-07-12,36337860,Susan,Listing was as promised!  Loved the place - well appointed - easy to find - modern - clean - cool... 
21126,41839794,2015-08-09,16146526,Annie,"We absolutely loved our stay in Dani and Joel's home.  It was perfect for our weekend getaway.  I loved the neighborhood too it just felt so cozy and peaceful.  The check-in was pretty simple and there wasn't really much we needed assistance on.  There was a handy little notebook that had all the information we needed.  Quite frankly, though I would've loved to have met Dani and Joel, we had no need to bother them nor the other way around.  I would most definitely consider staying here again for any future trips and I'd recommend the stay to anyone else as well.  The only thing to be cautious of is the bugs (we did see a few little critter friends) and the drive way is pretty steep so we had to be careful going up and especially down (we did scrape the bottom of the car a bit but it was a rental :) )."
21126,48672782,2015-09-28,3448931,Rachel,Dani was very flexible and lovely to communicate with! The home was clean and a lovely space for hanging out. We especially enjoyed lounging on the sectional couch with our coffee in the morning. 
759187,3780094,2013-03-14,2035915,Nick,"cool apartment, in a nice area, spacious and comfortable.  nothing fancy, and your mom would spend day's cleaning it beyond how clean us men think is clean enough... but for a crash pad in Austin this is one of the best!  the 6ft projector screen on the wall adds to the experience, along with comfy sofas, chilled balcony, big beds, and yard with a grill...

Love it, and Tim is a great host - really friendly and attentive.
Just don't bring your mom."
759187,7922855,2013-10-08,7097994,Adam,"The location and value for your dollar was unbeatable, especially for Austin City Limits.  Literally a 5 minute walk away, but no problem getting a good night sleep.  For other times of the year, its still a great place - right across from Barton Springs pool, where we took more than 1 pleasant mid-day dip, and a short walking distance to a bunch of nice places to eat, get coffee, rent a bike, etc.  Tim was extremely attentive and friendly as a host, and the place itself was clean and neat with a nice little patio and small backyard.  Don't anticipate anything too fancy, but nothing expected was lacking.  I'd highly recommend staying here and would do so again myself if back in town."
759187,8781884,2013-11-18,8900796,Raj,"Thanks Tim for having us over. All six of us had a great time, and we all slept really well. And it was very close to downtown too! I sure will be coming again!"
759187,20809923,2014-10-06,13746830,Michael,"Great location and super convenient. Easy walk to Zilker Park and and the trail to get to town. Three nice bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and kitchen. I would definitely go back."
759187,21193033,2014-10-13,15133478,Kelly,"Excellent location!!! The apartment was just as described. 
Our stay was really comfortable and Tim was always great to deal with. 
We had a great time. 
Thanks"
759187,28382646,2015-03-23,24871135,Monica,Tim was amazing and texted to check-in to make sure we were comfortable. The place was great and the location to die for! All around an amazing trip!
759187,50433498,2015-10-12,36171981,Holly,Location was close to my event and very convenient.  Host was very accommodating and provided everything I needed.
540377,3761496,2013-03-12,4740326,Leah,"We loved this house!!!! It was absolutely beautiful, so much charm and character and immaculately kept. The free range chickens were an added bonus. The attention to detail made us so happy to be there-- umbrellas left in each room, fresh towels, fresh eggs, the list goes on!! The location was amazing- a few blocks one way was a beautiful park with running paths, streams, etc. and a few blocks the other way was the heart of south congress, with restaurants, shops, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Highly, highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting austin."
540377,3816965,2013-03-18,4931042,Amul,The title speaks for it itself. Really beautiful. Perfect for all of our SXSW needs. A 25 minute walk to the Convention Center. Thanks so much John!
540377,10917928,2014-03-13,4764751,Ludvig,"The stay at SoCo House was perfect! Nice clean home, large living room, large and very well equipped kitchen. And we really enjoyed having the cat Lucy and the chickens around.

We were a party of five visiting SXSW and launching our product.

The location is great, a 30 minute walk to Downtown / Austin Convention center. After 5 minutes walk you can rent a bike at Austin B-cycle and be in town after only 10 more minutes.

Also nice bars and restaurants only 5 minutes walking from the house (on South Congress).

The contact with John worked very well and he was always eager to help and replied fast."
3345881,32625767,2015-05-19,29226090,Sofia,El lugar espectacular un lugar maravilloso para perderse y disfrutar de la naturaleza. La casa muy limpia y acogedora. No hay nada mejor que después de unas caminatas o de hacer el descenso del sella meterte en el relajante jacuzzi. Recomiendo este lugar 100%. Volvería y más tiempo.
1248702,6398148,2013-08-11,7140018,Karon,"Our daughter stayed at Chris' apartment for 10 days while finishing an internship in Austin.  Here's her report:  ""It was a great location near restaurants and shops.  The apartment is newly done, so it's in  really nice shape.  The bathroom is super nice, the bed is very comfortable.  I appreciated the fridge, coffee-maker and microwave.  A/C kept it very comfortable.  Chris and his wife are very accommodating and nice!"""
1248702,6527212,2013-08-15,755170,Daylon,"Chris was a very accommodating host and the beautiful cozy little apartment was just as it was in the pictures. Surprisingly quiet despite being a corner house and he hooked me up with the WIFI password right away so I could get some work done. Super nice guy and the place was clean and inviting. The next time I need to stay on the north side of Austin, I'm staying here. 

Highly recommended!"
1248702,6744665,2013-08-23,6122505,Dennis,"Great place with a good location, five minute walk to Central Market for breakfast every morning. Safe neighborhood. Atmosphere was perfect inside and out. Chris, his wife and Barkley were very welcoming."
1248702,7084576,2013-09-05,2126878,David,Great host. Great room. Well-stocked with all the necessary amenities. Will definitely stay again if we make it back to Austin.
1248702,7357610,2013-09-16,8777337,Amit,"What a fantastic and accommodating place. It's AirBNB's like this the hotel industry needs to worry about. The place was a completely private apartment full of amenities and in a great part of Austin.  

I will definitely stay there again if given the chance. "
1248702,7540350,2013-09-23,2783819,Sebastián,Great place to stay in Austin. Comfortable and roomy space.  
1248702,7685878,2013-09-29,424007,Linda,"Chris's apartment was absolutely perfect. Chris seemed very friendly. He and his wife gave us a lot of privacy. We met Chris when we checked in and then did not see or hear them until when we checked out. They stocked the place with snacks, coffee, water and lots of clean towels. The location was absolutely wonderful. It's central to everything. I highly recommend staying there when you are in Austin! "
1248702,8187832,2013-10-20,6474626,Raymond,Great place and great location. The place was clean and smelled great! Chris was very accommodating and easy going.
1248702,8321410,2013-10-25,5978429,DeLisa,"The Goddin's modern, private suite was adorable! They stocked the charming and spacious apartment with lovely soaps, a blow dryer, bottled water, coffee and snacks. I felt very welcome.

The location was convenient to downtown and easy to find off a major road. Unfortunately, the proximity to the thoroughfare did mean traffic noise. Not ideal for a light sleeper, but my earplugs worked fine. I enjoyed my evening in the Goddin's suite."
1248702,8409429,2013-10-29,9017779,Renee,"For a recent family reunion in Austin, my brother and sster-in-law were totally satisfied with Chris' room which is in our neighborhood.  Everything went like clockwork -- reservations, payment, check-in.  The room was clean, cheery, quiet, and had a great air conditioner... We'll definitely be back!  Renee Rogers"
1248702,8554007,2013-11-04,535417,Emily,Chris's apt was perfect for our quick weekend trip to Austin! Its like an awesome hotel suite! Its private with a really nice bathroom and a comfy bed. Its very close to good restaurants and Lamar wich takes you right downtown. Chris was very friendly and responded quickly. We would definitely stay there again!
1248702,8607162,2013-11-07,700704,Jorge,"The Goddin Inn is in a top-notch neighborhood. Just north of UT's campus and downtown Austin, it's an easy drive anywhere you want to go, to include the airport. There's a wonderful park a few blocks away and a great beer house to boot. The apartment itself is cozy and has all you need: a great bed, small dining table, and spacious bathroom. Chris and his wife life downstairs, so privacy is guaranteed. Chris is also very attentive to a guest's requests and inquiries. If you're coming to Austin, this is a real gem to stay at. "
1248702,8639155,2013-11-10,688039,Kate,"Great spot in Austin! Chris was very accommodating with check-in as I got stuck behind in San Antonio and Chris and my traveling friend were able to connect and work it out.
The place is super clean and cute and Chris left us little treats and snacks that were hugely appreciated.
Had a great time in Austin and would definitely go back."
1248702,8712306,2013-11-12,1366117,Brendan,"Apartment was spotless and had all these great little add-ons: fresh soaps, coffee pod maker, great linens, little snacks like a hotel mini bar but free - they go the extra mile. Super easy on check-in and flexible on check-out. Chris couldn't be nicer.  Close to a main-ish road but still quiet and can hop to UT or East Austin pretty quickly. Totally private space with own entrance above main house. Recommend! "
1248702,8785554,2013-11-18,654296,Santiago,It took me less the 15 minutes to book the place and arrange all the details. The place was exactly what we were looking for. Chris was always one message away and everything worked out as expected. I would definitively stay at Chris place again. Thank you Chris!
1248702,8995920,2013-12-01,9225850,Karen,"Very comfortable quarters, perfect for our needs. We stayed for four nights while visiting a relative in the neighborhood and enjoyed the interactions with Chris. We plan to use this apartment again."
1248702,9141550,2013-12-09,10125369,Eric,"Great place. Clean, well-stocked, and larger than I thought from the photos! My highly recommend, and will definitely attempt to book this apartment first the next time I'm in town. "
1248702,9959072,2014-01-21,8654219,Veronica,"This place is great!  I actually didn't get a chance to meet Chris, but he was always quick to reply to a text message and very helpful and friendly.  The room is very private and has everything you could need.  I really appreciated the shampoo, blow dryer, and seriously soft toilet paper!  With three bus stops near the house, it was easy to get downtown to explore...but you definitely have to be willing to take the bus or have a car since the house isn't close enough to  walk to all of the cool (weird!) things Austin has to explore. I would stay again.  "
1248702,10003562,2014-01-24,11505726,Jason,Great stay and great location.
1248702,10953255,2014-03-15,9794797,Jim,"Everything was nice, clean and convenient. Chris our host was friendly and helpful.
The house is on a safe well maintained street."
1248702,11052640,2014-03-18,3843092,Lina,"This was a great apartment! It was roomy, new and clean and my friends and I liked that it had a private entrance apart from the main house. Location was good and easily accessible to downtown Austin. The snacks, waters and toiletries were a nice plus. Would def stay again if back in Austin, thanks Chris!"
1248702,11218456,2014-03-25,11986587,Maria,"I loved my stay in Austin.  I arrived earlier than I thought but, there were no problems  checking in. Chris had sent me instructions on how to access the apartment that everything  ran smoothly.  I was able to enjoy Austin and come to this amazing space to rest. The bed is very comfortable and cozy. The apartment is everything you see and more. The restroom is fully stocked with toilet paper, towels, shampoo, a  hair dryer, and a full lenght mirror. The couch was my favorite spot where I was able to unwind and read. There are restaurants around the corner and a Starbucks.  The bus is a few steps from the apartment that going downtown is so accessible with out a car.  I would love to come back and stay here again!"
1248702,11358034,2014-03-31,5153747,Martha,"The apartment is very comfortable, clean and sunny.  Great location.  The street can be a little noisy early in the morning with rush hour traffic."
1248702,11537414,2014-04-07,11528544,Kelly,This was a perfect space for my visit to Austin! Chris was very responsive to my couple of questions. Everything was clean & updated. I'll definitely plan to rent from Chris again!
1248702,11916649,2014-04-19,12126631,Veronica,Comfortable and private. Would definitely stay here again!
1248702,12012088,2014-04-21,13602061,Liz,"Truly an excellent experience!! Chris was very friendly and flexible (when we thought we might have more people). The apartment is sunny, clean, and well-stocked with snacks and coffee. I stayed with two friends and it was plenty of space for us with one on the couch. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. It's not super close to downtown, but it's a very quick drive or cab ride.
"
1248702,12291221,2014-04-28,1865544,Joseph,"Nice room. Busy, noisy street. Convenient location. "
1248702,12614826,2014-05-06,13020717,Natasha,"This was my first time on Airbnb and I wasn't sure what to expect.  My sister, her husband and I were all coming in from different states and needed a place to stay in town for a wedding. The apartment itself was private, beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable and in a good walking area. What I particularly enjoyed were the small details inside the apartment such as a fold out table, small shelves near the bed to put night time stuff on, a Keurig, small fridge, hair dryer etc., plenty of hangers for clothes, snacks, extra linens/blankets etc.  It is those details that made this place especially hospitable.  I even got some sweet puppy kisses. There are quite a few things accessible within walking distance but Chris recommended Upper Crust Bakery (fantastic) and Uchiko (AMAZING) as places to eat. The street does get a bit noisy with traffic but the AC droned that all out.  I would highly recommend staying in this apartment.  What a terrific experience!"
1248702,14127960,2014-06-12,5988094,Tony And Chantal,"Chris was very good with communication from the start.  It was a breeze to find the place, get the key and settle in. Even though we only met briefly, I could tell he was a great host.  Always ready to help/provide something if need be.  The apt. is extremely cozy and clean and exactly like the pictures.  There are no surprises!  I found the location to be great.  Close to many things we were doing.  The only down fall which others had written in previous reviews is that you do hear the vehicles on the main street.  It didn't bother me at all but it did bother my fiancé!  Regardless, I would definitely stay here again should I come back to Austin and would also recommend this cozy apt. to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin :)"
1248702,14410747,2014-06-18,16101942,Annemieke,We had a great time in this lovely and clean apartment. When we arrived there was water in de fridge and some snacks waiting! Chris is a very nice and helpfull host. We really recommend their apartment especially if you want some privacy. Downtown is just a 10 min drive. 
1248702,14880496,2014-06-28,16441510,Michael,"A+ Clean, private, great air conditioning.  Personal, side yard access to the upstairs unit. The small desk/table is a plus. A few toiletries in case you forget your own. Will recommend this unit to any of my friends that come visit me once I move to Austin. Great hosts. Very friendly. "
1248702,15065743,2014-07-01,16723914,Courtney,"Great little neighborhood spot that we'll be using again when people come into town and we don't have the room at our home for everyone.  Was clean and very welcoming.  Only thing that surprised us was that there was no TV, other than that, they had wifi and private AC unit, which was great!  Chris was very responsive when communicating prior our reservation.  "
1248702,15240892,2014-07-05,9775355,Judy,"Great place to stay! This is my first experience with Airbnb and I will be returning to the Goddin's place (that I'm reviewing) and will be trying other places around the country. At the Goddin's, the bed is comfortable, the sheets are soft and the shower is great too (plenty of water pressure). It has a very convenient location (easy to find), especially to the university area. They offered to help me whenever I needed it and stayed away until I asked for help. Because it is on the corner, there is a bit of street noise during the day but night time is quiet. I would recommend this accommodation. "
1248702,15338495,2014-07-07,4491461,Lynda,"Great place to stay. Very clean, comfortable, sunny and private. The apartment is exactly like in the pictures. Location was good, only a short drive to downtown (10 min). We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Chris!"
1248702,15990725,2014-07-19,18110310,Glenn,"I enjoyed staying at Goddin's beautiful apartment for 3 nights while I did some work in nearby Hyde Park.  The convenience of being within minutes of where I worked was great.  The Goddin's were very hospitable upon my arrival and allowed privacy during my stay.  Although there was some muted traffic noise along 45th street, it didn't keep me from a good nights sleep.  Access to free wireless internet easily made up for no cable tv.  Would I stay here again?  Yes I would."
1248702,16059229,2014-07-21,4301774,Janet,"The apartment was pristine and beautiful, as was the neighborhood! And Chris was a great, helpful host. I would definitely recommend this place to others."
1248702,16384321,2014-07-26,264116,Shaun,Very clean and cozy accommodations. We'll definitely try to stay here again in the future.
1248702,16498797,2014-07-28,16371532,Cora,"This was a charming upstairs apartment in a delightful neighborhood.  Very clean and well kept, with plenty of space (and outlets) for us three sisters!  Since we all have down allergies, the host made sure to provide us with down-alternative covers and pillows!"
1248702,16935069,2014-08-04,18526796,Leslie,"Awesome place to stay! It's clean, safe, and has all the little things you could possibly need, even little snacks.  We met Chris & Megan for a brief moment when we first got there and they were super nice. Their pup was nice, too! The place is in a great location - close enough to downtown, but also far enough away to get away from anything loud or crazy.  I'd absolutely stay here again next time I'm in town. "
1248702,17233336,2014-08-09,2665786,Ian,"This is a great studio apartment located about a mile north of the UT campus.  There is good walking access to a few shops and cafes.  The room is bright, spacious, and comfortable, with a sink, coffee maker, microwave, and fridge.

There were a few snacks and some water there for me when I arrived, which was much appreciated.

Free on-street parking, and good access to major roads.

Chris was a great host and had a lock box for me with the room key as I was arriving late Sunday night.  I only saw Chris twice during the week, so you have lots of privacy.

There is no TV in the room (which was fine with me), and I found the internet connection was intermittent or just weak and used my wifi hotspot mostly."
1248702,17595032,2014-08-14,16441510,Michael,"Awesome. Second visit. There are many reasons why I returned: the quick, friendly responses; the quality air conditioning; the complimentary coffee; the nice hand soap, etc etc. Although if they changed the hand soap, I would still return. Good location. Very affordable. When my parents visit, I will put them here. A+"
1248702,18351451,2014-08-25,13077232,Stacey,"Great neighborhood location and wonderful space!  Clean and tidy, with anything you could possibly need (mini fridge, utensils, towels).  Comfy couch for napping.  Loved the privacy (separate entrance), but had to go up a staircase to enter apartment.  Would definitely stay there again."
1248702,18666614,2014-08-30,18935215,Jean-Paul,"We had a short but great time in Austin. Only met Chris for a minute or two, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to down town, exactly as is in the pictures. Would definitely use it again (and plan to). "
1248702,19248754,2014-09-08,14597266,Simone,"Chris and his wife offer a lovely apartment which is new and very clean. The bathroom is extremly comfortable with lots of towels. The apartment has an extra entrance, but Chris and his wife life in the same house and were available for questions and help. It´s a good place to be, if you wanna experience Austin, which is absolutely worth to be experienced. The apartment has a refrigerator and a small  kitchen for coffee or (website hidden) meals is not possible, because it has no oven. We felt very comfortable at Chris´ place."
1248702,19681204,2014-09-16,19401049,Lani,This is a wonderful loft apartment in Central Austin.  Exceptionally clean and comfortable.  What you see in the pictures is what you get.  It has a private entrance so you can come and go without feeling like you are intruding on anyone.  Would recommend this everyone.  
1248702,19881441,2014-09-20,19851344,Janine,"The apartment was clean, welcoming and comfy.  Great location. Responsive and friendly hosts. 

"
1248702,20456655,2014-09-29,1089924,John,Excellent communication with Chris.  Quiet upstairs apt.  We hope to book again when in Austin.  
1248702,20945142,2014-10-08,507309,Kseniya,"Chris's apartment is lovely: quiet, well-appointed, close to everything, and clean. He'd thoughtfully provided the essentials: shampoo, dryer, plenty of towels and linens, and the all-important coffee. Everything was very smooth and low-stress--the perfect AirBnB experience! We look forward to staying here again. "
1248702,21198066,2014-10-13,15277088,Sara,Chris was a fantastic host. The apartment was incredibly comfortable and it was a great location for us to get to ACL and to explore. So thankful to come across this apartment listing. 
1248702,22064010,2014-10-29,2945952,David,"We enjoyed our stay at Chris' nice private apartment. The location, very near our family in Austin, was excellent, and Chris communicated very clearly and promptly. 

We liked the amply sized and well furnished bathroom (Chris provided plenty of towels, shampoo, bath gel, etc.) and the hot water came on right away. Coffee and condiments (which we used every day), plus some snacks were also generously supplied. The A/C is built into the wall and maintained a comfortable temperature. 

The only thing that took some getting used to was the location of the bed in a tight alcove with a sloped ceiling. We had to get in/out of the bed carefully to not bump into the wall or sloped ceiling over our heads. I couldn't stretch my arms straight up toward the ceiling, but had to angle them forward, to avoid hitting it. But those were minor inconveniences."
1248702,22393713,2014-11-05,6462066,Lisa,"Chris' apartment is lovely, really spactious and clean.
It was a lovely place to stay."
1248702,22584699,2014-11-10,9775355,Judy,"This was our return experience and it was flawless again. Will return again and again and again....
"
1248702,22900109,2014-11-17,13731196,Sara,"Chris was really helpful (prompt replies with useful answers) prior to my visit to Austin. He was there to greet me and help me get situated when I arrived mid-day and then was available but not at all intrusive during my stay. 
The apartment is lovely and comfy. Coming from a rural area, I found the street noise to be quite problematic. The apartment is near the corner of two fairly large roads and is up high so there's not much to block the sound. There was a fan in the apartment  which was very useful in drowning out the street noise. 
With a private entrance, I felt ""home"" throughout my stay.
The place was perfectly situated for my work at the Center for Therapeutic Assessment - nearby restaurants (upper crust!!!) and central market for groceries. 
I would definitely recommend this apartment for anyone needing to be in that neighborhood looking for a spacious and well-stocked, convenient place to make home for a week. "
1248702,23301076,2014-11-28,21936935,Xavier,"We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. Our hosts Chris & his wife made us feel welcomed. The apartment is exactly as you see in the pictures, and is located in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. I would definitely be back and I highly recommend to stay here."
1248702,25278398,2015-01-11,24838108,Patrick,"Thank you Chris for a wonderful stay at your Airbnb.  We were visiting during CX Nationals and the space was perfect, we had a place to store our bikes, and even though it was cold outside, the room was warm.  Thank you!"
1248702,25510866,2015-01-18,5278127,Laura And Jason,"The apartment is very nice, comfortable and very relaxing. There are nice restaurants on walking distance."
1248702,25623319,2015-01-20,6534584,Noémie,"This apartment is lovely and spacious and has a great bathroom. There is everything you would need...
We enjoyed staying there and felt like home !! The only little negative point is the street which is loud because of traffic. 
"
1248702,26244482,2015-02-08,8753976,Youngin,Had a great time. A clean and private place. Will stay again!
1248702,26870055,2015-02-21,15305371,Alfonso,"Everything was as described, overall nice people to deal with.  I recommend this place"
1248702,26996199,2015-02-23,307899,Alexandra,"Our experience in Chris's home in Austin was warm and welcoming! He greeted us with his dog, and immediately made us feel at ease. Chris and his wife are as nice as they get. The apartment is located on top of their garage and it is spacious, clean, and VERY comfortable for a couple. "
1248702,27286045,2015-03-01,15932349,Zoe,Staying at Chris's was great!  The apt was really cute and comfortable!  The bathroom and little kitchenette were fully equipped with anything you could need!  
1248702,28465748,2015-03-24,14419809,Antoinette,"We never met Chris, but leading up to, during, and after our stay he was a very communicative host. The apartment was very clean and comfortable; looked just like the pictures! The apartment is located near a busy road, but the windows are well insulated and kept out all the noise. There was a bus stop very close to the apartment, so it was easy for us to access downtown without a rental car. We had a lovely stay!"
1248702,28808702,2015-03-30,28580349,Matthew,Great apartment in a great neighborhood close to downtown. The pictures are accurate and Chris is wonderful. I highly recommend this place. 
1248702,29119947,2015-04-04,29075061,Dorian,"This was a great little room! Easy 20 minute bus ride to UT campus and downtown. Chris was so friendly and welcoming! Safe area, walkable distance to cafés and restaurants. The room had everything you would need. Would definitely stay here again! "
1248702,29304437,2015-04-06,22053634,Alysha,The room was a great space that offered privacy and comfort. It was a great neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and shops and close to downtown. 
1248702,30149275,2015-04-18,8869023,Eman,"Such a nice cool apartment.  We absolutely loved it. Chris was always responsive and the apartment is in an awesome location. Minutes away from all the fun Austin stuff to do. Too bad we didn't get to meet Chris, but we had an awesome time. I wish we stayed longer. If you have the chance to come to Austin, contact Chris - you'll love it."
1248702,30567711,2015-04-24,1404801,Stephanie,Chris is an excellent host. The setting is warm and inviting and a great central Austin location. Everything is fresh and extremely clean. I will definitely plan to return. 
1248702,30789109,2015-04-27,28245469,Norman,"Very nice place - exactly what I was looking for and true to the description.  Small and comfortable, nicely outfitted, just right.
I can't comment on the hosts because I never saw them. Too bad, I would have liked to have at least said hi - and it sounds as though they have a great dog - but its also testimony to how smooth the setup is, and how private."
1248702,31363333,2015-05-04,19514630,Jaimee,"We had a great experience staying at Chris's. The room was just as pictured- clean, comfortable, and perfect for the two of us. Chris was very responsive and available to answer my questions. The apartment is centrally located and within close proximity to downtown as well as the campus area (we were in town for an event at the Frank Erwin center). We had a rental car and were able to drive to all locations in a very short amount of time. I would highly recommend a stay in this apartment. "
1248702,32047774,2015-05-13,4301774,Janet,"My mom has stayed here twice now and loved it both times. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and brightened with lots of natural light. The hosts have also been consistently friendly and very attentive in making the apartment comfortable for their guests. My mom has told me repeatedly she would recommend this Airbnb apartment to her friends. Thank you, Chris!"
1248702,33248466,2015-05-26,30094661,Jessica,"My friend and I had a lovely stay at Chris's place. The apartment was perfect--clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. Chris is a great host and recommended some delicious restaurants. We had a great time in Austin and can't wait to go back! "
1248702,33942888,2015-06-02,25196140,Yubin,"Very accurate, and good location.
Chris is very responsive and helpful!"
1248702,34481387,2015-06-08,27440460,Carolina,Beautiful space perfect for your Austin trip. Well located to coffee and restaurants and a short drive/uber ride to downtown. Highly recommend this space and checking out the host's local recommendations.
1248702,36061784,2015-06-24,6454733,Karen,the listing description was accurate. The host promptly answered our questions and was very helpful but allowed us to have a private stay.  We would stay again.
1248702,36624013,2015-06-29,36536771,Adriana Lucia,Chris was a wonderful host. He was very flexible about our arrival time and very helpful with providing dinner options for our first night. The accommodations were perfect and clean. Private entrance and your own bathroom. I would definitely stay there again! We drove to most of the places we wanted to see in Austin so I can't comment on the bus that stops nearby the house.
1248702,37379229,2015-07-06,21807579,Maddy,"I stayed at Chris' apartment with my mom for a weekend and we really enjoyed ourselves. The listing is very accurate to how the apartment is in person. Very clean, adorable, and well-stocked with extra kitchen-ware, toiletries, sheets, etc. I slept on the couch and it was actually super comfortable. The location worked really well for us because we traveled to Austin in a car and could easily drive the 5-10 minutes it takes to get downtown. Chris was very helpful with any questions we had and very welcoming. I definitely recommend staying here! "
1248702,40032790,2015-07-27,4459337,Mohsen,"We stayed at Chris's place for 2 nights and we loved it. The room looks bigger in the picture that what it actually is, but no complain, it was specious enough for a part of 2. Very clean and the a super comfy bed which my Gf loved the most given how picky she is when it comes to the quality of mattress. We came at one of the hottest weekends but the AC worked like a charm.
WiFi speed was not as great but I didn't have much need to browse. It did the job for me to check on Yelp and find the best restaurants to eat. Chris was super helpful and responded quickly. Would recommend. "
1248702,41016445,2015-08-03,10854434,Kao-Ying,Chris was a great host. He accommodated all of our needs where possible. Also quickly replied to all of my messages and even fixed the toilet when it was malfunctioning. Would definitely  stay at his place again. Street parking is very safe also.
1248702,42051194,2015-08-10,28892656,Andy,"My 2 friends and I headed off to Austin for a girls weekend and absolutely loved staying at Chris' apartment above his house. It was the cutest place and just the right size for the three of us. We had no problems during our stay. We were very thankful for Chris and his accommodation for us to check in as late as we did. I honestly fell in love with this place when I realized they had my absolute favorite board game in their closet, Rummikub. We were also lucky enough to be able to meet Chris and his BEAUTIFUL family on our way out on our last day and they are absolutely great. I will without a doubt try to stay here again the next time I'm in Austin! "
1248702,42957587,2015-08-16,40597078,Matthew,"The space was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located, with lots of privacy. My highest recommendations! "
1248702,44069580,2015-08-23,41761471,Wendi,"Really quiet and nice neighborhood. Convenient location, easy to find. Room is clean and nice. Lots of privacy. Chris is really friendly and recommended us some really nice place to eat!"
1248702,44367606,2015-08-25,41548555,Hannah,"This was a wonderful place for my friend and I to stay for a weekend getaway! Comfortable, clean, and homey, it was a perfect space to be based out of for our Austin adventure. Conveniently located in a fun neighborhood, and a pretty quick drive to downtown. I would easily stay here again next time I'm in Austin."
1248702,45213606,2015-08-31,5183856,Vernon,"Chris was very communicative and welcoming when we arrived in Austin. He was very attentive to our needs and allowed us the utmost privacy. The place was clean, comfortable and quiet. It had lots of natural light and the bathtub was absolutely wonderful- my girlfriend and I even took a bubble bath on our final night! I couldn't have asked for more. Highly recommended!"
1248702,46285331,2015-09-09,4301774,Janet,"As with the previous visits, the apartment was clean, inviting, and beautifully furnished. We definitely recommend this place to others!"
1248702,47743924,2015-09-21,7655952,Laura,"Listing set perfect expectations. Communication in advance from Chris was prompt. Upon meeting him, Chris was very friendly, though we only met for just a moment to get the key, but since we spent the weekend running around Austin that was fine. The space is small but the layout makes it feel bigger. The windows provided great natural light. The private entrance was great. Location was convenient to the public transportation system. It's in a very safe residential neighborhood with plenty of street parking available. The space was well appointed. Having the mini fridge and microwave is great for things like Kerbey Lane leftovers, and you can make some fresh coffee to go with it. The granite counters and wood flooring make it feel high-end. The ledges and outlets on either side of the bed made a perfect place to charge your phone. Because of the shape of the space there's a few things to get used to including the risk of hitting your head getting up in the morning because of the slope if you're tall. Also the bathroom doesn't have a mirror right over the sink but there's a small detail mirror to the side. There was a bit of street noise during the day but it was barely noticeable in the evenings. These things don't really change the fact that it was exactly what we needed for a quick weekend trip to Austin. Would definitely return."
1248702,49405617,2015-10-03,45393014,James,"My stay with the Goddin family was exactly as I expected from reading the profile and previous reviews. The apartment was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet. I didn't get to actually see Chris face to face as my hours were somewhat odd due to how my job played out over this trip. However, Chris was clear in communication via text and email making sure I knew how to get in and where I could find everything. I would definitely recommend staying with the Goddin family!"
1248702,49634678,2015-10-05,29134210,Olivia,We had a great experience at Chris' garage apartment. It was perfectly clean and comfortable. 
1248702,50126047,2015-10-09,31178736,Zoe,"Wow !! We were so happy to arrive in Austin at this beautiful home ! it is a bright, clean and inviting apartment space, so there is tonnes of privacy. Chris and his partner are incredible hosts and really know how to make people feel welcomed and comfortable ! great shower, Amazinggggggg bed and pillows, and the couch is the best ! worked really well for three people and located conveniently near to central markets and buses to downtown. We really loved it here ! Thank you so much guys, hopefully we can make ti back sometime soon !! "
1248702,50474588,2015-10-12,39476344,Eric,"This was an absolute great experience! Chris provided everything that's necessary for a couple to enjoy a weekend in a lively city, especially for a music festival weekend. The location was ideal and communication was perfect between Chris and I. I would definitely recommend this bnb to anyone, regardless of length of stay!"
1248702,51946082,2015-10-25,24942099,Caroline,"I had a lovely stay in Chris' garage apartment. The house is in walking distance of the amazing Upper Crust Bakery and other good restaurants on Burnet. The place is also convenient to the bus to UT. 

The apartment is a little noisy as it is close to a street, but earplugs at night do the trick. "
669469,2258923,2012-09-10,3499250,Jackson,"Jacob was very attentive and helpful in all things.  He even texted me to let me know where I could find ice on a Friday night after I mentioned it in passing.  The place is a great location with very convenient parking and I found myself able to walk to all the events I had planned including 6th Street, a UT tailgate, Rainey Street, etc.  Loved it!"
669469,2508090,2012-10-04,325084,Christopher,I really enjoyed staying at Jacobs place. It was very centrally located. A block from the capitol and just a few short blocks from 6th street. The place was very clean and everything worked just fine. I'd stay there again!
669469,2526085,2012-10-06,3672703,Dave,"Cool place, easy access to Convention Center. Also easy walk to movie theatre on 6th Street and restaurants / boutiques along 2nd. Nice people, great recommendations on where to eat, etc. Enjoyed it very much and would rent this place again in a heartbeat. "
669469,2583904,2012-10-11,3724029,Morgan,Jacob was very prompt to respond to any questions and was very courteous. The room was awesome and the view of the capitol was really cool and puts you right in the middle of everything. Will be staying here again!
669469,2747629,2012-10-29,2257531,Kristoffer,"Jacob was Beyond Amazing! Not only is the location great for everything (so central that for $1 we took a bus from the airport and only had to walk a few blocks to the space) but he was in touch and available for questions on where to go for food or fun or anything else needed. Also he was very knowledgeable and kind. Also, i love music and forgot to bring proper cables to tie in to his stereo, so he came and hooked some up while we were out and it worked great! The space was well kept and perfect for a couple. Also the images of the view of the Capitol building looked too good to be true, but it was RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW! Truly a great way to wake up. For the last few days, Congress was blocked off for a book festival, but it was quiet and quite nice. Distance to the University or 6th was excellent, especially if you want both, or to be a bit off the main strip for some privacy. 
I highly recommend this space, especially from Jacob. He was amazing, and i have to say i now am in love with Austin, in large part to the host and the space. I hope to be back soon!"
669469,2778935,2012-11-01,488863,Joey,"I guess I can leave two reviews! Jacob is amazingly awesome and very accommodating. I had a special situation that required me to make two separate reservations and he was able to come through! He is very communicative and polite and the listing itself is just super rad. I even had pizza with the guy! Honestly, I couldn't imagine a better listing in Austin!"
669469,2792729,2012-11-03,488863,Joey,"This space is AMAZING. So close to everything you could want to do and the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The hardwood floors look great and the sink in the bathroom is awesome too! I didn't use the kitchen too much, but with all the local and delicious food around I don't think anyone would. The shower had great water pressure (something I'm very keen on), and the bathroom overall was very charming. The place was also absolutely spotless. A+++++. Best features? The door that leads to a balcony thingy with a great view of the capitol building, the amazing speakers on the walls (which should be operational soon!), the BED ! , and the bus stops just 50 feet away.

Jacob himself is very helpful and totally awesome. He hooked it up with some tips on what to see and where to go. Super responsive and very professional!"
669469,2920013,2012-11-19,3631924,Graham,"Great apartment, in a great location in a great city. Jacob is a very good host and I would recommend to all."
669469,3045873,2012-12-08,3414469,Brent,"Great place right downtown.  Upon arrival, the neighbor was outside and offered any help had I needed it.  Was a great stay.  The loft was clean, comfortable and would stay there again.  A+"
669469,3197992,2012-12-31,3553063,Dave,Jacob has a great little place that's perfect for two people and a convenient place to stay.  His communication was excellent I couldn't be happier with our experience.
669469,3384162,2013-01-21,4498701,Rochelle,"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at Jacob’s apartment.  Everyone – our Austin friends, cab drivers – all commented on how awesome the location was.  The place really is directly across from the Capitol, and walking distance to pretty much everything downtown.  East 6th and South Congress are really short cab rides away.  The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures.  I can be a bit high maintenance about where I stay, and I was extremely satisfied with the apartment - it is clean, super comfortable (especially the bed) and has everything you need.  Jacob was very easy to work with – we had a bit of a problem with the lock, and he was extremely accommodating.  Compared to the cost of hotels in downtown Austin, this place was a fantastic deal.  This was our first AirBnB experience, but it won’t be our last.  I would recommend Jacob’s place to anyone!  "
669469,3408422,2013-01-24,532525,Michael,"Jacob's place was ideal for me on a recent business trip to Austin. The apartment is an incredible one bedroom, and sits right across from the Texas capital with a beautiful view at night. Within walking distance to the university and the downtown going out area. 

Jacob himself was nothing but helpful and I'd prefer to stay there again next time I'm in town."
669469,3477027,2013-02-04,1416817,Scott,Jacob has a great little system and made the experience extremely easy.  Location cannot be beat.  
669469,3496776,2013-02-08,4484474,James,"Jacob's place was as described-- clean, conveniently located and downright cute."
669469,3509155,2013-02-10,4722339,Kristi,"This historical loft is a great space and a FANTASTIC location! The views of the capitol building out of the front windows are amazing and the easy access to the bus line can't be beat. Jacob was very accommodating with our early/late check-out requests and the key-less entry was cool (and super efficient--didn't have to worry about losing a key or leaving it in the unit!). The neighborhood has quite a bit of traffic (day and night) but we were two women traveling alone and felt very safe and comfortable (even walking by ourselves at night). The unit gets tons of great natural light!

You don't need a car--you can walk everywhere or grab the bus for just $1 (thanks to another Airbnb user for the tip on the bus from the airport for $1!). The capitol is literally a block away and we highly recommend a visit--the building is beautiful as are the grounds surrounding it. There are also lots of great places along Congress Ave just steps from the apartment, and the happenin' area of SoCo (South Congress) is just a mile and a half down the road (very walkable). 

We recommend a stop at Jo's Coffee in SoCo or the Warehouse District (their 'iced turbo' is delish!), and visit the Continental Club on Thursday nights for some great music from the Whiskey Sisters. We also recommend a late night stop to the bar at Swift's Attic (315 Congress Ave)--try the blistered shishitos appetizer and fried brie dessert (you can thank us later!)--and the Cuidado: Piso Mojado cocktail is both yummy and spicy (hot, hot, hot!). Walk over to Lamar and visit the large indie bookstore (Bookpeople) and Waterloo Records and just around the corner is the flagship Whole Foods store (and lots of great shopping).

The people of Austin are amazing--genuinely kind and welcoming. This was our first visit to the city, but we will definitely be back!"

669469,3583586,2013-02-19,4763886,Sarah,great place to stay. Jacob is wonderful and responds quickly. the loft is perfect and in an awesome location. you can walk everywhere and definitely don't need a car. 
669469,3620526,2013-02-26,1610718,Siv,"Jacob's place is very nice, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. I cannot understate how incredible the Capitol view is! The condo is well situated and a walk from many activities. It was very clean and communication with Jacob was very smooth. 

It was perfect for two people who wanted to spend most of our time out and about. I would gladly recommend this place to similar travelers. "
669469,3658754,2013-03-01,4525922,Kristen,"We had a great time at the loft. It was clean, beautiful natural light shining all day, awesome view of the Capitol. It's in such a great location, very quiet but very close to all of the action as well. Jacob was accessible and helpful, we'd definitely stay at the loft again!"
669469,3720371,2013-03-08,435763,Scott,"Perfectly located in Austin if you want to be able to access the city on foot. I parked my car for three day's at La Quinta down the street for $12 a day. The bed was super comfy and it was easy enough to find, I also played one of his two guitars :)"
669469,3837347,2013-03-19,1653933,Misha,"Jake was great from start to finish!  Always fast to respond, he provided lots of helpful information, was always accommodating, and completely professional.  The apartment is well appointed, comfortable, in a great location, and very well managed.  Would stay here again for sure!"
669469,3937067,2013-03-29,4939541,Nick,"Just got back from our trip to Austin and the apartment was great. It's exactly as described - central, clean, comfortable, a good size and an amazing view of the Capitol building. We would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay there again. "
669469,3975407,2013-04-01,4908786,Shari,"Lovely loft apartment, filled with character in great location. Walk to capital, UT, 6th street, town lake.  Owner Jacob very relaxed, easy to work with.   Only complaint is difficulty parking during the day on weekdays - have to feed meter every 3 hours or move car.  Evenings and weekends - no problem.  Would definitely stay here again!"
669469,4089069,2013-04-08,5743417,Peter,"My wife and I stayed at Jacob's apartment this past weekend and we couldn't have been happier.  The location just can't be beat and everything is within walking distance, so there is really no need to have a car, and there are a ton of bars and restaurants in the neighborhood.  From the airport we decided to take the shuttle bus into downtown, which only costed us $1 each, took 20 minutes,  and dropped us off about 2 blocks from the apartment.  The apartment also offers great views of the Capital building which is nice.  The apartment was very clean which is important for us.  Also, the convenience of being able to walk outside in the matter of seconds is priceless, no waiting for elevators or going up flights and flights of stairs.  Jacob was a great host and was more than responsive.  He was able to answer all of my questions in a timely manner, and I still had a few questions for him when I arrived at the apartment, such as the internet password.  Overall Jacob couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.  The keyless entry is great and easy too.  Overall a great experience and I highly recommend this apartment to anyone who is visiting Austin.    "
669469,4177608,2013-04-16,4596634,Brian,"Staying at Jacob's place was a great experience. My girlfriend and I stayed here in mid-April. The weather was fantastic and the apartment was perfect. Nice living room, bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. All spotlessly clean and in good working order. There was a record player set up and a couple records (I bought and left some after we heard the second playing of the Joni Mitchell record) - the sound was great. The location was very central, too - with everything in walking distance - dirty 6th, west 6th, south congress, the river, the capitol - and really easy to get around.
 
Jacob was very accessible and hospitable. He provided us with recommendations before our trip and even brought us Torchy's Tacos while we waited in line at Franklin's and then gave us a ride back downtown. This was a great city to visit and it was a really fun trip. Great accommodations. Definitely recommended to anyone coming to Austin for any length of time!"
669469,4279687,2013-04-24,4826655,Thomas,It was a great location and the check-in and check-out process is super convenient. Apartment is clean and in good condition.  No complaints at all.  Jake gave us a heap of info and was accommodating whenever we had a question. Cheers Jake.
669469,4335295,2013-04-29,4104998,Janell,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Jacob's place last weekend. The apartment is in a great location, walkable to almost anything, with a great view, a comfy bed and good water pressure. The celling fan and AC also kept the place plenty cool. Check in and check out is super easy with the key pad and, there is no key to worry about.

Jacob's notes are top notch, and if you have any questions, he is super quick to answer text or email... even while he was traveling himself.

We had a great stay and would stay here again on our next trip tp Austin. "
669469,4415786,2013-05-04,5305817,Ashley,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Jacob's place. Great location, clean, all around nice apartment. "
669469,4645257,2013-05-18,2558603,Jonathan,"Amazing, personal, and private space in downtown Austin.  Jacob has done a great job making it feel like a home including a record player hooked into the living room speakers."
669469,4670656,2013-05-19,173893,Beau,"Jacob's place is the perfect weekend getaway right in the heart of Austin. It was clean, spacious, and the view of the capitol building cannot be beat. "
669469,4902945,2013-06-01,5837162,Caren,"Jacob's place was great! Really cute apartment in a great location, close to the capitol and all the bars and restaurants on 6th Street! Jacob was a great host, he texted me to check in and make sure everything was going well and even provided a ton of recommendations for food in the area, which was definitely helpful! I would certainly stay here again and would recommend to anyone coming to Austin. Made my first trip there really memorable!"
669469,5054394,2013-06-10,6013881,Jill,"Raquel and Jacob's apartment was the perfect spot for my recent trip to Austin! 

I was visiting for a Food Conference at the Hilton, (which was the same price as their apartment!) and the location couldn't have been better. Right along the bus line, and a $5 pedi cab ride from downtown bars and restaurants...this was a great find! 

Jacob was very prompt answering me after I arrived a little early, and he gave me the code to get in the door (which was so easy to have instead of a key) the door was a little hard to get used to, but after I few tries I got the hang of it. I met Raquel, who popped in to change the laundry, and she couldn't have been nicer! She gave me some recommendations and we spoke for a little bit of time before I headed out. 

The surround sound music was awesome, the bed was SUPER comfortable, and all in all, I'm really glad I went with airbnb over a hotel. The only thing I wish this apartment had (after traveling with a carry on) were a few bottles of soap, or shampoo! There is a CVS super close-by, but it would be nice to have a few amenities. Maybe even a cheap hairdryer? 

Either way, it was totally perfect, and I'm a happy Austin camper!  Thank you Jacob and Raquel. "
669469,5222158,2013-06-18,3957567,Reid,"Raquel and Jacob's place is great. Perfect location, clean, comfortable sleeping arrangements, the works. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. Raquel and Jacob are super responsive and very helpful. I will undoubtedly stay there again."
669469,5266207,2013-06-21,6827073,Christian,"Lovely apartment, with wonderful location. Easy to get in and out of, with Raquel and Jacob providing some nice tips on good places to visit. The bed was very very comfortable and apartment perfect for 1-2 people (4 would be a push, but manageable). Location to City Center couldn't be better, with 6th St a 2 minute walk. Only downside was no free parking during the day (free after 6pm). Wi-fi was great also. Would definitely stat there again or recommend to anyone."
669469,5638963,2013-07-09,5974989,Zack,"Raquel & Jacob have a spectacular apartment in the heart of downtown Austin. A very convenient price for a perfect apartment that is close to everything. Plus there is a direct view of the Capitol Building. A keypad lock is quite possibly the best thing and R+J were very accommodating allowing us to enter the apartment earlier than anticipated. Great sound system and lots of light make this a perfect apartment for a short or long stay in Austin. We spent 5 days and it was perfect. Thanks for being great hosts, only being a text away, and letting us stay in your grand apartment."
669469,5718216,2013-07-13,422994,Michael,Small but well appointed and you can't beat the location! Hosts were also very responsive. Look forward to staying there again.
669469,6593581,2013-08-18,404518,Jacqueline,"Raquel and Jacob's place was perfect.  I had to come in town for an extended stay for work and their apartment met all my needs.  Super cool and tasteful interior, comfortable furnishings, fantastic location.  R & J were the ultimate hosts, always on hand and giving helpful hints.  Would definitely stay here again.  "
669469,6722760,2013-08-22,5147057,Julie,"Raquel & Jacob's place was perfect for our family trip to drop off our son at college. The location was in the heart of the city–we easily walked to 6th street to get ice cream. As mentioned, The loft has a killer view of the State Capital, just a block away. Clean simple amenities. Great Hosts– Raquel even went above and beyond, contacting me the day before our stay and offering a larger loft for the same price to make sure our family was comfortable! That's service! Thanks guys."
669469,7735567,2013-10-01,6865336,Kirsten,"Absolutely loved staying at Raquel & Jacob's loft.  The view of the capitol building was breathtaking and the downtown location was unbeatable.  The only drawback is parking if you are staying long term so I would recommend not bringing your car if you can get around it.  Raquel & Jacob were very attentive,  welcoming, and shared local secrets to make our stay even better.   Thanks for everything and looking forward to staying here again!    "
669469,7977921,2013-10-11,583410,Mee-Sun,"Raquel and Jacob were great hosts - they are very quick to respond to messages, and checking in / out was easy due to the keyless code entry.

The location is awesome, and within walking distance from the 6th street night scene and downtown Austin overall.

Just so you're aware:
- There is a big construction site right across the street, and it was unbearably loud starting at 8 AM. Our visit is in October 2013 for reference - definitely check to see if that's still going on if you want to sleep in.
- The shower is a bit small. The water pressure is great!
- We had three people in our group, and I think it is more comfortable for two people. The couch was not a pull out, and there were no extra sheets/pillows for that person - so just come prepared!
- The fridge in the kitchen is a mini one. It didn't impact us at all, but just in case you are staying for a longer period of time."
669469,8610240,2013-11-08,8833579,Donna,"Great location, sweet apartment with a great view!!  Easy to contact the hosts who provided details needed for our arrival and responded to us right away.  Convenient parking."
669469,8714677,2013-11-13,8009913,Lubna,The loft was in a perfect location! We were able to walk to pretty much everything within 5-10mins. The loft was clean and well maintained. Raquel and Jacob were great hosts and we would definitely recommend the place to others.  
669469,8902172,2013-11-25,9191571,Jeff,Nice clean spot in the heart of Downtown.  Had a lovely stay and would definitely come back!  Thanks a million!
669469,9764911,2014-01-08,704223,Gee,"The best little find in downtown Austin. Will stay here again and again without a doubt. The apartment is walking distance to 6th Street with public transport at your doorstep. The view of the Capitol any time of day is surprisingly spectacular. The apartment was super clean, cosy and dressed like a rock star (just like the pics). It's equipped with the necessary essentials and all the right toys. A true little gem, making it hard to get out of the house at times. Thanks guys! "
669469,9833678,2014-01-13,10674193,Lauren,"The apartment was in a great location, with great views of the capitol and walking distance to everything we needed. Raquel was very responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. She was very accommodating and let us check into the apartment early which was great.  The apartment is not large, but was very clean, neat and was the perfect place for my two friends and I on our weekend away.  We would definitely stay here again if we were back in Austin."
669469,9929844,2014-01-20,10662445,Patrick,"Like many others have mentioned, fantastic location, very helpful hosts, clean, well kept, all of things you could ask for. Two thumbs up!"
669469,10038332,2014-01-27,844800,Lesley,"Raquel and Jacobs place was just like the pictures. Very clean, nice comfortable bed. Cool sound system with old vinyls! Check in and entry process was smooth and easy and they were just a text away in case we needed something. They even accommodated a late check our since we had a late flight that day. I would definitely stay there again!"
669469,10092511,2014-01-30,5024231,Marianne,"The loft is as pictured - really charming. You have a wonderful view of the state capital from the front window.  Jacob was attentive to a minor problem that was a result of the unusual freeze that hit the city of Austin. And despite the freeze, we were very comfortable in the loft. This is in a great location right downtown. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone."
669469,10214757,2014-02-07,8676448,Annabelle,"The apartment was amazing, great location! Also, the tips on the website they have are super helpful. We had a great time!"
669469,10774975,2014-03-07,4639864,Sam,I stayed in Raquel and Jacob's apartments for about 3 months and they were exemplary hosts.  They provided key local information were absolutely considerate and helpful.  I appreciated their thoughtfulness throughout my rental.
669469,10914455,2014-03-12,10192163,Kelly,"Super cute place with an awesome location! Only stayed one night, but had a very pleasant time altogether. Thanks again!"
669469,11242150,2014-03-26,418750,Jenny,"Great location.  Just off Congress and in front of capital building.  Walking distance to restaurants/bars.  Good view of capital.  Stayed here during a conference at convention center with my husband and babyboy.  Easy walk to downtown venues.  Kitchen small but sufficient for breakfast and snacks even though several coffee shops and quaint restaurants are around the corner.  Nice paintings on the walls  Sometime street car traffic was noisy in the am, but otherwise delightful apartment!  Best part is seamless arrival - no keys - locks are digital so never have to bother with coordinating arrival time with hosts.  "
669469,11328687,2014-03-30,605751,Lindsay,A great stay at the loft! The apartment was the perfect amount of space. And what  an amazing location; we loved the view of the capital! Check-in and check-out was a breeze and the apartment was very clean. I would absolutely stay here again. 
669469,11614743,2014-04-09,1302223,Jamie,"Perfect location to stay at in Austin! We would definitely stay here again. The place was very comfortable, cozy and clean. It was right next to the Capitol and just a few minutes walk to 6th Street and all of the restaurants and bars. It was also accessible to many of the bus lines as well to get around town. The list of suggestions of things to do that Raquel and Jacob posted was also very helpful. We enjoyed the food trucks and the country dancing that they had on their list! 
Beware of the neighbor below them though. We came home from country dancing and were not even making too much noise since it was late, and he pounded on our door (not knocked politely, but pounded on the door like the police were going to raid the place!) at 1AM and told us to be quiet and we were very scared and startled by this! Other than the uptight and rude neighbor, the place was nice."
669469,11850952,2014-04-16,7321072,Elaine,"The apartment, location and access were all great.  The view was amazing.  Jacob was responsive, accessible and helpful.   "

669469,12455607,2014-05-03,3261518,Alex,We had a great time staying at this loft.  The place was in great condition and exactly as described and pictured.
669469,12608860,2014-05-06,12231467,Brian,Fantastic location. Great apartment. I am from the suburbs and getting used to the city noise took one night. Hosts were great at communicating and provided a respite in the heart of the city. Will stay again next time in Austin. 
669469,12676003,2014-05-07,2597713,Daniel,"Spent the night in Austin for business and was looking for something downtown. Their loft is very close to where you need to be in Austin. It is a clean, comfortable place and working with Jacob was great! "
669469,13178717,2014-05-21,5201628,Matthew,This place was great.  The location can't be beat and it quickly felt like home.  We'll definitely be back next time we're in Austin.  
669469,13855341,2014-06-06,806664,Aaron,"The location was great. I was unsure of how easy it would be to walk to the convention center each day, but it really was less than a mile and only 15 minutes or so.

Not shown in the pictures is that the shower is super small, which is fine, but wouldn't be great if you're claustrophobic.

It really is an fantastic view of the capital from the front window. And, a great perk was the awesome website the hosts included, filled with Austin tips and secrets - a real bonus!
"
669469,14499612,2014-06-20,16925503,Patrick,I was a little intimidated by the list of rules but it turned out great and the place was super cool; it's the type of place I'd love to live. The neighbors got a little loud but I worked it out with them and I don't blame the host for that. I definitely would consider staying there again if I wanted to explore downtown Austin.
669469,14733602,2014-06-25,13896547,Dan,"This is a great place to stay in Austin. The loft itself is charming and the bed is very comfortable. Also, the location can't be beat. We could have walked anywhere we wanted. Only rented a car to dive out to the Salt Lick. "
669469,14837404,2014-06-27,14920615,Jessica,"Raquel and Jacob were great hosts, super attentive and the loft was exactly as described. Would definitely stay here again! "
669469,16103685,2014-07-22,16685167,Drew,Excellent location to use as a base to explore the city of Austin from!
669469,16525205,2014-07-28,10215398,Jon,This was a really great little one bedroom apartment in an extremely convenient location! The unit had everything that I needed for the few days that I was staying in Austin. The hosts were also very responsive to any questions that I had. Would definitely stay again!
669469,17167151,2014-08-08,18103390,Robert,Easy check in and out. Jacob was very responsive to any messages. Great location. Would stay again. 
669469,18083657,2014-08-21,4038442,Don,"Beautiful, clean apartment with a very comfortable decor.  Slight noise issue with neighbors, but nothing turning on the fan couldn't fix.  Location was just perfect and walkable to all sorts of entertainment.  The hosts were pretty responsive and certainly seemed professional in their management of the property."
669469,18204288,2014-08-23,3304904,Doug,"Easy check-in and check-out, comfortable room, and great location. No complaints!"
669469,19134232,2014-09-07,18885810,Jeffrey,Perfect location. Bed is comfy. Can get a little noisy late a night but this is easily remedied with the stereo system playing on low
669469,19610889,2014-09-15,3219326,Robert,"Everything about Jacob and Raquel's place was fantastic. They were helpful hosts, the loft was clean, and the neighborhood is excellent and close to everything. Thanks so much!"
669469,19869243,2014-09-20,16861103,Megan,Host was very responsive.  Neighborhood is great (although there were some shady characters chilling on the front steps next door every morning - they were harmless kids)
669469,20084069,2014-09-23,2988236,Trevor,"The Loft is a great little home away from home. It has a fantastic view of the Capital and it's just a block away if you want to take a tour. The Austin B-cycle rack is 1/2 block away. The nightlife on 6th is close enough to walk to (or stumble home from) but the music and crazies are 4+ blocks away. A great coffee shop is just around the corner and a Royal Blue Grocery a few blocks down Congress. There is noise from the buses accelerating up the hill from the traffic light. Bring earplugs if you're not used to the sounds of city traffic or you're a light sleeper. And yes, the bed is comfortable. "
669469,20996599,2014-10-09,1451931,Kyle,"We stayed at this unit for six days/five nights over the first weekend of ACL 2014 and had an overwhelmingly positive experience.  We never cooked in the apartment and essentially used it as a place to decompress post-festival, but the extra space (when compared to a hotel) was much appreciated.

Pros:
- Location is awesome.  We ran around the UT stadium and walked everywhere downtown (including to shuttles to ACL), to East Austin, and to a local Avis for a Hill Country day trip rental we needed.  The statehouse is just about across the street and provides a great view (and cool tour).
- Space is great!  It's just enough space for two and certainly enough for one.  Kitchen is small but functional.
- Decor is cool.  They have six or seven paintings by a local artist that bring a ton of color into the unit, along with guitars on the wall and a record player and audio jack for use with built-in speakers.  Although the unit has character of an older building, everything in it is new, clean and comfortable.
- Racquel and Jacob are great hosts!  Each is very attentive via text or otherwise and were a pleasure to rent from.  I think it's a group of condos or some sort of management company that actually rents the place out, but there's a great website that explains how to use everything in the unit and also gives tips for things to do/see around town.

Cons:
- Like could happen in any building in Texas that's not brand-new airtight construction, we found one dead roach.  Our hosts were more than willing to come over and dispose of it, but that certainly wasn't necessary.  Not a big deal at all but want to share in nature of full disclosure.  
- That's it!  Seriously nothing else to even mention.  

We would absolutely book again if back in Austin!

669469,21277359,2014-10-14,3519175,Heidi,"Such a wonderful stay at Raquel and Jacob's place!! The loft is literally across the street from the Capitol which offers a lovely view. It is also steps away from 6th st where all the nightlife is. The airport bus was convenient, cheap and drops off close to the loft. The keyless entry made the check-in and out process seamless. 

The place is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The bathroom shower is small but the counter is HUGE which is what matters. It makes getting ready easy when there are girls who need to hog the mirror. Thanks for a great vacation! "
669469,21526376,2014-10-19,19525685,Catherine,We had a great trip to Austin and the  apartment was perfect.  Great location and easy access to everywhere.  Thanks again- we had a great time and enjoyed the loft!
669469,21653704,2014-10-21,6709742,Chris,"We arrived early in Austin and there were some initial communication issues, which were sorted. The loft was perfect - exactly as described and in a good location. The Austin highlights were either within easy walking distance or a short cab ride away. "
669469,22060131,2014-10-29,7770641,Tchukon,Jacob's loft in Austin was awesome.  Beautifully decorated with a very comfortable bed with white linens ....    a perfect place to come back and relax after sight seeing.  It was conveniently located near so many restaurants and the food scene in Austin was so cutting edge!  Not to mention you could look out the front window and see the capital building (especially beautiful in the evening).   I would highly recommend his oft for anyone visiting Austin.
669469,22392799,2014-11-05,10883180,Paul,"The apartment was honestly described, in a super location for walking to any Downtown Dallas location. It was also a good base for touring the Austin area. 

Jacob replied promptly to all enquiries."

669469,24622848,2014-12-31,3645547,Catherine,My husband and I loved our stay at the loft.  We were only there for one night but we took advantage of the great location with a sunset walk around the capital.  The apartment was clean and comfortable and perfect for the two of us. Jacob was very responsive and the house guide he put together was a great resource.
669469,24912194,2015-01-04,19514578,Jessica,Great loft in an amazing location. Walking distance to tons of restaurants and bars. The best coffee right downstairs. The bed is comfortable and plenty of room in the loft for a couple. We felt right at home! Thank you for the great stay. 
669469,25307265,2015-01-12,2371786,Chuck,"I felt very welcomed with the text correspondence and keyless entry. The house had everything I needed and was perfect for my stay in Austin. It was cozy, centrally located and had a beautiful view! I really enjoyed staying in this apartment."
669469,25596189,2015-01-20,6263127,Aaron,Jacob was a great host. Check in and checkout were very simple and he clearly communicated the whole time. The apartment itself was great although the bedroom fills with light from the edge of the curtains and living room making it difficult to sleep in for those sensitive to light. It was nice being close to 6th street and seeing the view of the Capitol each day.
669469,25724523,2015-01-24,26121016,Beth,"Raquel + Jacob and their loft apartment were great! The loft was pristine and made for perfect lodging for my business trip. Raquel + Jacob were easy to work with, they were responsive, and I look forward to visiting Austin again in the near future. Hopefully, I'll be able to stay at another one of Raquel + Jacob's places soon. "
669469,26185496,2015-02-06,5476271,Beaudry,"Decent, reasonably comfortable spot close to North Congress and all the downtown action. Corporate feel, from furnishings down to the check in/out experience - lots of ""take the trash out or we keep the deposit"" nonsense - so don't expect to get the true Airbnb experience here. On the other hand, the managers of the place are very responsive. Fronts right on the street and is pretty noisy, so bring ear plugs. The main bed is comfortable, but if you're planning on sleeping a second person on the advertised airbed or couch, note that the airbed can't be fully inflated (they don't have the fitting for it - hello bathtub mattress) and the couch won't fit anyone comfortably over 5""6' (hello muscle cramping)."
669469,26444051,2015-02-13,23033912,Dianne,Jacob was very responsive to our communications.  The loft was exactly as we expected and was nicely equipment with everything we needed.  This loft is in such a perfect location to see the sites of Austin.  We didn't have a car and it was easy to walk wherever we wanted to go.  Thank you Raquel and Jacob for sharing your lovely loft with travelers.  We loved Austin!
669469,26585203,2015-02-16,8740591,Ryan,"This is a great location for anyone wanting to spend time downtown. We were able to walk to everything we needed to do all weekend, which included treks to Lamar and 6th and to some eastside bars. It is an especially great location for the Austin Marathon, as the finish line was almost right outside the door this year. Check-in was easy, parking was easy, and we had a great stay."
669469,26798040,2015-02-19,24700263,Megan,"This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was fantastic! The apartment is exactly as pictured -- cute, in a great location, and perfect for 2 people. Jacob was a more than accommodating host."
669469,26902654,2015-02-22,15525,Stefan,The apartment was extremely neat and tidy. As well as in the perfect central location . The hosts were also very easy to communicate with and I absolutely recommend staying there.
669469,27323220,2015-03-02,14232517,Brian,"A great space, exactly as listed with a very thorough guide and list of things to do. Jacob was very communicative and great for refunding our first night on the day we were supposed to check in after a cancelled flight."
669469,27827538,2015-03-13,23856912,Gwen,"Great location and very cute, well designed apartment. It was my first time using AirBnB and Raquel + Jacob's place was really nice. The bike station nearby was a great treat as well. Thanks!"
669469,28244576,2015-03-21,1473893,Juliana,"Jacob's place was perfect for my stay during SXSW, close to all events and the CC, it was very clean and had everything we needed. Also he has this list/manual of the apartment that makes everything easier, all instructions and rules. I will definitely consider staying there again. :)"
669469,28780990,2015-03-30,613079,June,"Raquel and Jacob were wonderful hosts … responsive, professional and welcoming before, during and after our visit.  The loft is excellent and as advertised with a wonderful view of the Capitol, lots of space and finely detailed.  The house manual was well done and a great reference.  The neighborhood was very much to our liking though we were surprised that the Starbucks on the corner was closed all weekend since the area caters more to business than residential customers.  Not a big issue. Lots of food options available.  Our only complaint was the checkout demands.  We were instructed to: wash dishes, clean counter, take trash out, put linens and towels in closet, hang wet towels in closet.  We've stayed in other Airbnb's without such demands and felt more like guests.  We did not cook but still felt it was unnecessary to ask for a guest to take out the trash etc.  especially when you're rushing around getting packed and off to the airport.  If these things are not an issue, and they are minor compared to the lovely accommodation and hosts, we would recommend this listing.  I will add that we had a car. Austin parking is not easy but the parking options were just fine for this listing. Thanks Raquel and Jacob."
669469,29028340,2015-04-02,6290592,Dickson,Fantastic!
669469,29647371,2015-04-10,26695733,Erica,"Great location, clean place.  Easy check-in and check-out.  "
669469,29682159,2015-04-11,1735183,Raele,"This was a really awesome loft, with a great view and very centrally located downtown. Super clean and well appointed. There's good communication with the hosts, and flexibility. Reasonable, friendly people. The loft itself is perfect. The area is reasonably safe I think, but it IS downtown (which is the best part!), so just be aware of your surroundings when you go to and from your car and when walking home late at night. "
669469,29963796,2015-04-15,24867358,Kristina,"Raquel and Jacob were the perfect hosts. The apartment was exactly as described - clean, authentic and in an absolutely perfect location! They were very attentive and even came by to fix a cabinet that had fallen from a previous guests stay. We would definitely stay here again!"
669469,30386297,2015-04-21,2414111,Jill,"My mom and I loved staying here! Great location and easy to get around downtown from there. The apartment is charming, clean, has a great view of the Capitol and it's quiet. Raquel checked in to make sure we were settled, which was really sweet. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
669469,30730008,2015-04-26,850998,Tim,Great location right in the heart of the city. Was disappointed with the AC. It just couldn't keep it cool enough 
669469,30919887,2015-04-29,25355478,Paul,"Raquel and Jacob were very friendly and helpful.  Raquel contacted me a couple of times to make sure everything was going ok.  The location is fantastic, it's walking distance to just about everything including great restaurants, bars and major sports and entertainment venues.   There's also nearby car2go and bike rentals if you want to get further afield.  "
669469,31354240,2015-05-04,31043322,Brandon,"Good location, easy to follow instructions"
669469,31721900,2015-05-09,31141706,Erin,"Raquel and Jacob made my entire experience so easy. The apartment was even better than I imagined. The location is perfect, and I was able to walk all over Austin without a problem. I had friends offer to come pick me up, but I loved the area I wanted to go explore on foot. 

The furnishings are lovely, and they've done a tremendous job with even the little details like having a record player and/or speakers you can plug into. I really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. I am so thankful I chose to stay here rather than the stuffy hotel room my colleagues were in. Already trying to devise a trip back and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else."
669469,32054055,2015-05-13,23631863,Rita,"Our hosts were excellent at communicating with us.  They left great suggestions for things to do on their website and answered questions promptly.  The location is walking distance to many popular areas including the 6th Street bars and restaurants.  There is a Lavazza coffee shop around the corner.  The loft was clean, had WIFI that worked very well and a view of the Capital.  The two guitars on the wall were appreciated.  We enjoyed playing them.  We also loved to play the stereo and vinyl records in our room.  The BOSE speakers made for great sound.  I would stay again!  We loved our first visit to Austin and will be back!"
669469,32696633,2015-05-20,12529213,Luke,I could not have asked for a better experience with Raquel and Jacob. The apartment location is phenomenal and our hosts made sure every little detail was taken care of. I would highly recommend this apartment if you want to experience Austin for the first time. 
669469,32924328,2015-05-23,14016930,Daniel,"Raquel and Jacob, thank you so much for letting us stay in your home! Though it was only one night, we had everything we needed and more. We were right in the heart of the city with an awesome view of the capitol, slept in a comfortable bed, and enjoyed a large, clean bathroom. Check in and check out was easy and convenient, I wish we could have stayed longer!

Thanks again, we'll definitely check your listings first the next time we make our way to Austin!"
669469,33378362,2015-05-27,31556897,David,"The place was excellent - cute, great location, walking distance to many of Austin's attractions.

It was easy access, electronic combination lock on the door, no hassle with keys, and the hosts were prompt with instructions and emailing us to make sure we were having a good stay."
669469,33658920,2015-05-31,3781421,Dvorah,"The description and photos were very accurate. The apartment was very clean, cosy and comfortable (great bed!). The neighborhood was great for downtown Austin, yet was quiet. I am looking forward to my next stay (which I already booked)."
669469,34514822,2015-06-09,17346995,Raina,"We really enjoyed our stay at Raquel & Jacob's apartment. The location was awesome and in walking distance to everything we were headed to for the ATX TV Festival (venues on 5th and 6th Street). X-Games actually built a moto ramp on the street in front of the apartment, so that was interesting! Overall, everything was clean and we had everything we needed for a great stay. Raquel & Jacob checked in often, making sure we were comfortable. Check-in and check-out worked perfectly. Thanks for hosting us!"
669469,34963871,2015-06-14,12515812,BethAnne,"We enjoyed our visit to Austin, including Raquel and Jacob's apt.  It is located walking distance to most things to see and do in Austin. "
669469,35317848,2015-06-17,33601182,Bo,"Very welcoming hosts and good commuicators.  Had some problems with the AC, but resolved issue quickly and professionally.   Great property with a beautiful view in a great location.  Easy Access to bicycles, 6th Street, and Red River Streets.  With a little effort or Bike ride Rainey Street and Lady Bird Lake were easily accessible. . ."
669469,35920056,2015-06-23,23179945,Stephanie,"The flat was very clean and tidy on arrival.
We had a very comfortable stay and enjoyed our time in the accommodation.
We would recommend this apartment to others and would be more than happy to stay again."
669469,36218042,2015-06-26,29952882,Chloë,Listing description accurate. Grey cunication on how to check in and out. 
669469,36686350,2015-06-30,33652561,Ryan,The listing was as described. Great communication from the host. The location is awesome!! Much better than staying in a hotel. 
669469,37400144,2015-07-06,21483246,Nicholas,"Raquel and Jacob were very friendly and responded quickly to any questions I had.  The place itself is in a fantastic location, just blocks from the state capitol and the 6th street bars, and the apartment was clean and very comfortable.  The check in and check out processes were a little more rigid than I've become accustomed to with airbnb - more akin to a hotel than private residence - but that didn't detract from the place.  Great experience overall!"
669469,38112797,2015-07-13,5195664,Simon,Superb location! Literally one block from the Capitol and walking distance to amazing bars and food.
669469,39659657,2015-07-25,7243630,Adrienne,"Listing description accurate: cute place in a very centrally located neighborhood. Clean, quiet, easy to find. The checkin and checkout instructions were clear and simple. All in all, a very pleasant stay."
669469,40159155,2015-07-28,10357317,Joshua,"The apartment is fantastic, and it’s in a great location, only a few blocks from all the restaurants and bars of 6th street. It’s well furnished, with a stunning view of the capitol building. The keyless number lock on the front door made check-in/out so much easier of a process. It easily one of the best places I’ve stayed at through Airbnb.

The only thing worth mentioning is there are fair amount of house rules, and check-in/out procedures you have to follow. The past apartments I’ve stayed at through Airbnb were much less strict. The rules/steps were never a burden or unrealistic, but it was something I wasn’t expecting.
"
669469,41033502,2015-08-03,39935538,Carissa,"Raquel and Jacob were extremely accommodating and responsive during my first AirBnB experience.  Instructions were easy to follow, the apartment was exactly as reviewed and pictured and the location couldn't have been any better (view of the capitol from the living room!).   The apartment is cozy and has character, close to B-cycle bikeshare so that we could explore all of downtown while also walking to plenty of bars, coffee shops and restaurants.  Will certainly come back the next time I am in Austin! "
669469,42050305,2015-08-10,40054013,Dylan,"Loved staying at this rental while in Austin for the weekend. It is in an unbeatable location to restaurants, activities and nightlife. The rental itself was great and lived up to the hype. It was very comfortable and a great escape from the Texas heat. I would definitely look to stay here again next time I make it to Austin. "
669469,44114166,2015-08-24,17045437,Michael,My wife and I stayed at Raquel and Jacob's loft this past weekend.  It was very clean and in a really amazing location.  Everything was as described on airbnb.  Fun and interesting activities were just a few minutes walk or quick ride away.  They were very responsive and gave us some really great ideas of stuff to do while on vacation.  I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
669469,45081688,2015-08-31,30841669,Kevin,"We really enjoyed our stay! Everything was as described.  It's a great location (short walk to 6th street and right across from the Capitol building). Raquel and Jacob provided great information about check-in/check-out instruction, local activities/entertainment, and even a few instructional videos that will make your stay at their loft perfect.

We'll definitely try to stay with them again when we come back to ATX!"
669469,46209882,2015-09-08,42491431,Gretchen,Wow! What a fabulous location! Perfect size for 2-3 people.  Very clean. The neighbor was very kind.  We had a little issue getting the code to work to get in however the hosts were very responsive. We waited about 10-15 minutes. When I come back to Austin this will be first on my list of places to stay. 
669469,47439560,2015-09-18,11518981,Sam,Awesome location. Easy access upon arrival. Fantastic apartment with great bedding and a nice set up. Will definitely look to stay here again next time I'm in Austin. 
669469,47612312,2015-09-21,8614188,Eric,Great place in awesome location!
669469,48681936,2015-09-28,34901131,Andy,"The location is perfect.  Downtown near the Capitol building, close to 6th street nightlife but also within walking distance of East Austin. The bathroom was big enough for two people and the bed provided a good night's sleep after long days exploring the city.  Perfect for a couple looking to spend some time in Austin."
669469,49723778,2015-10-05,9179012,Andrea,"I had a fantastic time staying in Raquel and Jacobs apartment in Austin. They have an incredible view of the Capitol building and are right in the center of all the action. Walking distance to everything you want - the river, bars and restaurants, shops, you name it. 
As hosts they were really communicative, helpful and engaged. I can't recommend their place enough either - it was well decorated, bright and airy and had a cool, trendy feel to the space. "
669469,50004320,2015-10-08,19908482,Adrian,Awesome location and a very clean spacious loft. The hosts are strict but it was worth it for us!
669469,50322069,2015-10-11,43534037,Christy,"Great location and a good size for a quick stay.  We had some issues getting into the place and we were not able to store our bags at the hotel that was suggested on the website.  The morning we left we had an angry neighbor tell us to basically stop walking so he could sleep from the previous night's shift...not the best way to end our stay!

The shower is very tiny and my tall husband felt cramped in the bathroom.  We enjoyed the record player and being so close to everything, but we would not stay here again given the cost and inconveniences during our stay."
669469,50774110,2015-10-14,2937363,Camden,"This place is amazing, and I will definitely be staying here again if I come back to Austin. It exactly matches the photos, and Raquel & Jacob are very responsive and friendly. Their website of information about the place is thorough, and the keyless entry is awesome.

The location is easy walking distance to all of downtown. There is good light in every room. The bed is comfortable: soft but supportive. And the little extra touches just really make the place: nice art, a record player with good speakers and an aux cable, a wii and some games, a water filter, etc.

The shower is very tiny, which wasn't a problem for me, but that's the only thing I can think of that someone might not like about this place."
669469,51272362,2015-10-19,38846763,Rebecca,"We loved being able to wake up early, grab coffee at the near by Starbucks and walk to Franklin's our first morning in Austin. The loft is also close to many other great restaurants and attractions. We used the parking suggested by Raquel and Jacob which was close by and just $11 dollars a night(much cheaper than many hotels in the area). The loft was easy to access on the day of check in and clean. Raquel and Jacob were very easy to get a hold of during our stay and reached out several times to make sure we had all that we needed. "
669469,51801533,2015-10-24,2850234,Michael,"Raquel and Jacob's apartment is in an excellent location for business or pleasure, being just four blocks from sixth street and just steps from the Capitol Building! The apartment was very clean and both Raquel and Jacob responded promptly to my concerns."
669469,52234089,2015-10-27,44098400,Bob,Had a great time in Austin. Central location made access to restaurants and nightlife very easy. Proximity to Capitol provides a great place to go running too. Thank you for a great stay....very attentive owners. 
6833658,40020253,2015-07-27,2690305,Nicola,"Angella was a great host! She welcomed us at the house upon arrival and showed us everything we needed to know. The apartment was eben better than described. It had everything we needed: a full kitchen, towels and sheets, an outdoor area in the backyard, etc..
Also Angella provided some Texas sweet tea and snacks for us, which was very nice. 
The neighborhood is safe and quiet while it is not too far off. It is easy to walk towards South Congress and following this street you would reach downtown after about 30 Minutes. There are also buses running between South Congress and Downtown. 
However, shopping and restaurants are in walking distance :)"
6833658,49115628,2015-10-01,8194467,Marc,"My wife and I absolutely loved our stay in this home. We were there for an entire month and were sad to leave. From the very beginning, Angella made sure that we felt welcome in her home. She left us a nice, thoughtful care package; we were welcomed by a sweet note and fresh flowers; she was very flexible in providing us with the keys despite our late arrival; was responsive to our questions (everything from real estate to landscaping!); and took the time to orient us to the neighborhood and her home. There is a driveway with plenty of space for a car (even a large car), which made parking super easy and convenient. Angella and her husband gave us plenty of privacy and space while always being accessible when we needed. Whenever we had a question, she was quick to respond and give us access to the information we needed. The home is very unique and super fun. There are great decorations throughout the house and it is very cozy, making you feel like you are truly at home. Angella's artistic personality clearly came through! We particularly loved the shady and grassy backyard and spent many afternoons enjoying the nice weather while reading a book. The home has all of the appliances you would need (dishwasher, washer/dryer, microwave, central AC, etc.), which was very convenient.  The house is in a great location - it's walking distance from South Congress and Big Stacy park/pool and is surrounded by quaint houses. The area is quiet and relaxing and the neighbors are lovely and very welcoming. The beds in both rooms were super comfortable and we had access to plenty of towels and sheets. We can't recommend this place enough!"
6833658,49770438,2015-10-06,3832505,Joann,I fell in love with this cute home and all of the art work in it! Very eclectic place for sure. The neighborhood was very quaint and safe. Not a far drive or uber ride from some of our favorite places in Austin. Angella was a wonderful host.  After a long day at the festival we were in town for we got home to some sweet treats and refreshing beverages. She went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay.  I would definitely stay here again when in Austin. 
6833658,51396718,2015-10-19,46152464,Rachel,"Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Minutes from anything and everything in SoCo, this was the perfect location for a girl's weekend in Austin. Eclectic, warm, inviting...every detail was considered about what we might need during our stay. 

Love the decor and feel, beds were comfy, living areas were warm and inviting, kitchen was nicely appointed, complimentary foods were very thoughtful (love the coffee!), we could have holed up all weekend and not left and been perfectly happy. 

Angella's recommendations for music and restaurant venues were spot on, and she was a lovely host. I left a couple small personal items there in my rush to pack, and Angella called immediately to arrange for their return if needed. 

It was perfect, and we would definitely stay again for return trips to Austin."
2509662,28045354,2015-03-16,5546019,Shanthar,"Very nice, comfortable stay at the apartment in Austin, Texas

Craig's apartment was very clean, organised and conveniently located near the city. Highly recommended "
5303955,28187171,2015-03-19,5771541,Greg,"Had a great trip to Austin this week. Mia & Harry were great hosts providing us with local insights to eat and enjoy all Austin has to offer. Their house is in a great location, its super clean, quiet and quick walk to downtown. (And they have super fast internet). Great stay and would recommend "
8666980,52986090,2015-11-03,6123311,James," The casita was excellent! It is situated in a lovely part of town not too far from campus or downtown. It was also quiet, but accessible. The host has obviously put a lot of time and effort into making sure the casita is well lit, comfortable, and tasteful. If you are planning to cook for yourself, there was a good set of basic supplies available and even a couple of bottles of wine. The host was available if you had a question or wanted a recommendation. At the same time she did not push herself on you."
5074725,28313718,2015-03-22,7128205,Health For America,Andrew was an excellent host! His house and beautiful and spaciously slept 5 of us. Andrew thought of every preparatory detail and allowing us to very comfortable and settled for our week plus stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Austin and would stay again! 
5074725,49627072,2015-10-05,10301640,Ana Belia,"GREAT host! 
Andrew was so kind before and during our stay. He stayed in touch all the time, and left a sweet welcome gift at the house. My friends was firstimers using Airbnb and they loved the experience.  
About the house: The house is suuuuper nice, completely renovated, super clean and neat... just like the pictures. Don't hesitate to stay there, we had a wonderful time there that leaving Austin was so hard!
Hope to be back soon! Thanks for all Andrew!"
5074725,50458787,2015-10-12,39954725,Eric,"Andrew was a great host during ACL weekend.  They house was amazing, very clean and spacious for 7 people.  Convenient and close to downtown.   I highly recommend Andrew's place for anyone visiting Austin."

4932558,49939472,2015-10-07,10660150,Katie,My husband and I had a nice time at  Negina and Cheng's place. The room was clean and tidy as was the very new bathroom. Very peaceful and quiet at night and some nice coffee places locally. 
4932558,50306850,2015-10-11,43086906,Tricia,"I cannot imagine a better airbnb experience! From the moment I walked in the door, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Negina and Cheng's home has a down-to-earth feel, is a quick walk to the bus downtown, and gives one plenty of opportunity to appreciate different mediums of art (paintings, pottery, music..!) I would 10/10 stay here again. Would highly recommend if you enjoy good people, cozy homes, and the love of an affectionate, vocal cat.  "

7714899,46081416,2015-09-07,27006319,Armin,"Heather was incredibly accommodating during our entire weekend in Austin. She took the time to reach out and make sure we had everything we needed and there was a nice hand-written note she left for us that explained everything about her apartment and the surrounding area.

Her apartment is in the most perfect location for anyone looking to have a great time downtown in the city. Anything you need during your stay can be found in a business within walking distance along with lovely bistros and cafes that we frequented and loved. 6th street is a quick 5 minute uber/lyft/taxi ride from her apartment, as well. If you ride a bike you could cycle there in 8 minutes! When we arrived the apartment was spotless and welcoming and we were so happy we picked this spot over others in the vicinity. We were instantly convinced that this was by far the best option for Airbnb in Austin!

The next time we are in Austin we will definitely stay here, and we will also recommend this location to our trusted friends and family that will be staying in Austin for vacation. It was a phenomenal experience overall and Heather has undoubtedly become a new friend!"
7714899,49778589,2015-10-06,37164383,Ewa,"Heather was very accommodating, letting us come to her place early when our flight landed earlier than expected! Her home is lovely and there are some nice restaurants in walking distance. The only downside was no wifi at her place and the cafe wifi down the street wasn't great for when we had to do some work on our laptops. "
7714899,50631331,2015-10-13,33302663,Kelli,Heather was a great host and her home is lovely. She went out of her way to make us feel at home during our stay. She even left a list of great coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking to explore downtown Austin!
7714899,52077534,2015-10-26,43311388,Maria Luisa,The neighborhood was pretty and close to everything. The host was great and helpful. The apt was beautiful and in great condition.

Can't recommend Torchy's taco's enough. It's only a 2 minute walk from the apartment and the Democrat taco is fantastic. "
4182992,25327205,2015-01-12,25161126,Chris,Lan is a great host! The apartment is in a great location with some of the best food in the city within walking distance. The apartment made us feel at home and very relaxed during our stay.
4182992,25606916,2015-01-20,5350944,Emily,Lan was a perfect host-super helpful getting us directions and into the apartment when she was unable to meet us (because WE were late!) Great location and great price for a 2 bedroom-the private secure parking was definitely a plus. Highly recommend!
4182992,26630349,2015-02-16,8669315,Brooke + Mark,"Lan's apartment was cosy and well-located. The photos accurately show the apartment. Checking-in was a breeze, and Lan was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond if I had any questions. I would recommend this place."
4182992,26987334,2015-02-23,7645726,Lauren,"Lan's apartment was perfect. Location was perfect, neighborhood/apartment complex was quiet. Lan left us a great list of things to do and places to eat and drink. We couldn't resist the Torchy's Tacos right across the street. The off-street parking and secure parking was a HUGE plus since parking can be tricky in south Austin. Don't miss your chance to stay at Lan's place!"
4182992,27729185,2015-03-10,16970555,Amber,This was my first time using airbnb and it was a great experience. Lan's place was so cozy and she was always available to answer questions. She even left great tips about the area. Next time I'm in austin I will defin stay here. Great location.
4182992,28121719,2015-03-18,12582998,Silke,"Lan's place was a great base during SXSW. It's a short bus ride from downtown with some good places to eat within walking distance.
The place itself is spacious, nicely decorated and has everything you'll need - towels, hair dryer, cooking utensils etc.
We didn't meet Lan in person because she was out of town but communicating with her was super easy; she always answered all our questions within minutes and gave us her's friends number in case of an emergency.  
I'd definitely recommend staying there, especially if you're 2 people or more."
4182992,28423879,2015-03-23,5309356,Joel,Awesome place.  The listing was accurate to the description.  I would definitely stay here again.  Thanks!!
4182992,30879911,2015-04-28,4857720,Simone,"Lan was super helpful both before and during my trip. She answered all of my questions quickly and cheerfully. The apartment itself was good for the price. The locations was convenient; easy to get to all points in Austin. It's definitely one of the aribnbs that's occupied when not being rented (rather than strictly income property), so it's got a lived in feel- a good amount of stuff in the fridge and cabinets and bathroom. Not a bad thing necessarily, but something to note. "
4182992,31954791,2015-05-12,30625640,Lorena,Breathless location! Our hostess was very hospitable. Adorable home. Would definitely stay there again !
4182992,32587858,2015-05-19,3279297,Arun,Lan's place was perfect and just a short drive from downtown and south congress Ave.  She was quick to respond and check in process was smooth. I would recommend this apartment.
4182992,35322109,2015-06-17,1264420,Evan,"Lan's place was great! Good location in south Austin, clean and comfortable. She was super understanding and let us check in early and easy to communicate with. We had a terrific time."
4182992,37409160,2015-07-06,36975649,Kimberly,Lan's place was private and conveniently located. I Would definitely stay there again if I was in Austin or recommend it to someone else. 
4182992,41038751,2015-08-03,13380684,Irving,Awesome place to stay. Super close to downtown if traveling with a car. Had an amazing time in Austin and will definitely stay here again when coming back.

4182992,50618395,2015-10-13,35391362,Bailey,We had a great experience at Lan's place. It's a cozy apartment in a very safe location giving us a great feel for Austin!. She's also very quick to respond to any questions or needs.
4182992,52914465,2015-11-02,9423693,Amanda,"Lan was such a wonderful host for myself and my friends. We had 4 people and were quite comfortable. Lan was great about communicating details for arrival, the duration of our stay, as well as departure. Her home was exactly as described and the neighborhood was prime for night life. There were a few shops, cafes close to her home and everything else was a very close Uber ride away. I would definitely stay at Lan's home again! "
4092834,26662765,2015-02-16,677344,Chris,"Deborah was the most gracious host and has packed the house full of such thoughtful and welcoming details. From the bath salts to the sweet treats, filtered water, patio area, proximity to the pool and wonderful decorative style, our party of three felt immediately at home. The neighborhood was such a great respite from the congestion of the city further east. Food and drink were within a 15 minute stroll or a ll definitely be booking here on our next trip into town."
4092834,28080683,2015-03-17,27296174,Jeff,"Excellent.  Apartment was immaculate, and Deborah was thorough in her preparation.  Highly recommended."

4092834,30828863,2015-04-27,31432808,Bradley,"Deborah was a great host.  Easy to work with and made sure we had everything we needed to ensure a comfortable stay.  Her place is spotless and well kept.  The complex is also well kept and a nice place to relax.  If you want a good place to stay near down town without all of the noise and party crowd, I would recommend Deborah's place.  "
4092834,31400804,2015-05-04,17197992,Charles,Very welcoming hostess. instantly fell in love with the property instantly. By far one of the best dollar for dollar values on Airbnb in the Austin area!

Deborah's little touches of welcome were so appreciated! She left chocolate for us on the bar and muffins in the fridge. The only thing we weren't 100% happy about was the bed- it was VERY firm for us. Other than that, we greatly enjoyed our stay!"
4092834,34478000,2015-06-08,34009967,Kelsey,"We enjoyed our stay so very much. This was our first airbnb experience and it couldn't have been any better! Deborah's place is just adorably charming, VERY clean and smells wonderful. It was all very homey and relaxing. We definitely appreciated all the special details like the travel toiletries and yummy snacks (including great coffee) that she left for us. I would like to warn that the bed is very firm, however, very nice in quality. We both like a firm bed so found it quite comfortable. The location of Deborah's condo is absolutely perfect; everything seemed right around the corner and minutes away! Downtown is just right down the street and the condo has very easy access to the highway. The neighborhood was very nice, quiet and charming as well. Deborah made sure our stay was perfect by all the special details, making herself available for questions, and offering great nearby restaurant suggestions! We will definitely try to stay here again in the future! 
"
4092834,38211678,2015-07-13,1329235,Rob,Deborah's instructions were very clear and she was very flexible with regards to check-in time on the day of arrival.  Everything went as planned and the apartment was extremely clean and comfortable.  Would definitely stay here again!
4092834,41033669,2015-08-03,14452150,Maria,"Our stay at Deborah's place was absolutely perfect. She's a kind, warm, and generous hostess. She left impeccable directions and communicated efficiently and on time. We loved her place and it's evident that she loves and respects her home. It's beautifully and tastefully decorated and the access is super easy, too. It's close to downtown and has a beautiful pool in the back. We only regret that we couldn't stay longer. "
4092834,42076579,2015-08-10,20314175,Dino,"We had a wonderful time staying at Deborah's condo. Even at rush hour, we were able to get in, settled and to our tech rehearsal in downtown on time. Her space is beautifully decorated, clean, the perfect place to rest your head at the end of a long day. As traveling performers, it is a luxury to have a quiet space to retreat to while on the road. Her home has beautiful clean energy, lots of natural light and she provides some great coffee! The bed was shockingly hard (there is a clear warning about it being firm), but my back did appreciated it the next morning. I had no idea that I would enjoy a firm bed as much as I did!"
4092834,47822033,2015-09-21,10909670,Jeralyn,"We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful condo! It was beautifully decorated and welcoming! Great location and not a lot of 'thru' traffic like you would see on the East side of Mopac but really close to all you would need or want to do in downtown/central Austin!

The only tiny thing was there was not really a space to hang our clothes (we had formal wear to hang) other than the curtain rod by the sliding glass door. 

Other than that one tiny thing, I would highly recommend this great space!! "
4092834,48764295,2015-09-28,19517560,Peter,"Deborah did an excellent job of preparing the condo for our arrival, providing the important information and was overall a great host. "
4092834,49650118,2015-10-05,36383978,Guy,Deborah's place is fantastic.  She went out of her way to make the place welcoming and the condo was spotless.  We also appreciated the pastries and drinks available to guests.  She has a great home and I highly recommend staying here!
4092834,52228309,2015-10-27,43686075,Monica,"Deborah was a fabulous host. She was quick to reply to all my questions about her home, and for things to do in Austin. She represented her home to a tee and had every little detail covered. It was clean, decorated beautifully, easy to get to and had all the amenities one needs when travelling. This was my first experience with Airbnb, and because of the lovely experience that Deborah provided, I will likely try it again. I've recommended Deborahs home to other friends for their future travel plans to Austin.

The place is small but clean and as long as you're comfortable sleeping in a shared space, I would definitely recommend it."

Overall the house is great, with ample beds for all guests and a large living room area for everyone to congregate. The location is close to the downtown areas, so overall I'd recommend staying here for anyone coming to Austin."
397181,2627704,2012-10-16,2454151,Eun-Joo,"We visited Austin for ACL (our first visit to Austin!) and this was the perfect place for us to stay.  Jill was a warm hostess with a lovely 2-bedroom apartment.  The apartment was decorated in a chic and artsy fashion and was full of great amenities -- wifi, netflix, fully-stocked kitchen, two sunny and comfortable bedrooms.  More importantly, though, Jill made us feel right at home!  She was a great communicator -- very responsive with questions we had (via e-mail and text) and offered a lot of great info about cool local spots to explore.

Jill even left a lovely welcome basket for us with beer, wine, snacks and breakfast foods (thank you Jill!!)

The location was very central as well -- easy to get around, near downtown, close to Zilker Park, South Congress, etc.

I'll definitely be back to Austin to visit and would happily stay here again!
"
397181,8082897,2013-10-15,8305425,Susan,"This condo was fabulous.  It was central to everything -- a short walk to some great bars and restaurants and a quick cab ride to downtown and other hot spots.  And Jill is a great host.  In addition to leaving us her home in immaculate condition, she also provided us with water and snacks, which was greatly appreciated.  I cannot recommend her place highly enough."
397181,8819478,2013-11-19,4154151,Daniel,"Jill is an amazing hostess with a great spot in Austin! She delivered outstanding hospitality that far exceeded any expectations. I will definitely be checking if her spot is available the next time I travel.
Highly recommended!!"
397181,10881848,2014-03-11,11913903,LeeAnn,"We stayed at Jill's condo during SXSW, and it was great. Not only is Jill an amazing hostess, leaving us everything we needed to have an amazing stay, but the condo is clean, quiet, comfortable, and well located. We walked to the convention center each day and cabbed back in the wee hours of the morning. Definitely recommended."
397181,12622780,2014-05-06,13640275,Carlyn,"With this being my first Airbnb stay, I wasn't sure what to expect from the service, but Jill made it a FANTASTIC experience. The place was spotless, the location was perfect and she went out of her way to make us feel at home. She stocked the place with snacks and beverages and left notes to help us with where things were. I would stay here again in a heart beat when in the Austin area. 
From booking the place, to confirming the reservation and even letting us know how get to the unit and the key, Jill made the whole process completely seamless. Without a doubt, this is the place to stay when in Austin! "
397181,21275749,2014-10-14,2495733,Anna,"The four of us came to Austin for the second weekend of ACL. 

Jill's place could not have been more perfect. The location was great: just a short walk to many coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, and a couple of outdoor gear stores (which came handy when it rained on day 2 of the festival). The neighborhood was quiet and residential. 

The apartment had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of space for four of us. It was very clean and comfortable, with many amenities. Even though we did not spend much time there, it is a great place to hangout. Jill even left us bottled water, beer and snacks! 

 We are looking forward to coming back one day.

6369694,32725326,2015-05-20,2267594,Lisa,"Deep in the Heart of Texas is an appropriate name for these accommodations. I was attending a conference at the convention center and found this place a pleasant respite from “Austin Weird” 6th St. Convenient store is across the street, coffee shop is available on the block behind the apt building and bus stops are just around the corner. $2.50 pass and you can ride the capitol metro bus system all day. Uber cabs are plentiful if that is your thing. Yellow cab from the airport was $28.00. Security is super with card key access needed for the courtyard, building and apartment. A key is available to lock your private room and bathroom area. Pictures are deceiving for what looks like a twin bed is actually a super comfy full size bed. Vending machines are available in the lobby. Wi-fi is super strong with no buffering. Shower pressure is great and towels were fluffy. I felt super safe walking in the neighborhood at any time of the day. Thanks Carlos for hosting me, and helping my first visit to Texas be a memorable one."

6369694,34669802,2015-06-10,4059794,Deepa,"Carlos' apartment is a nice place to stay during a visit to Austin. Clean room with private bathroom was perfect. It's in West campus area - there are buses and taxes to downtown; otherwise it's about a 3 min walk. 

Didn't meet Carlos but his roommate was very nice in settings up. "

6369694,38886845,2015-07-19,329591,Christopher,"The location was perfect - super close to the ""drag"" at the University, and easy to get around. We were able to walk to the Whole Foods market and 6th street in like 30 minutes. Safe, clean, great spot. The room was just fine, and we had our own bathroom. Carlos was out of town but his roommate Zac took good care of us, setting up the wifi access as well. The only thing we would change is that the bathroom could have been cleaned before we got there. I didn't notice it at first, but my wife did, and pointed it out. Definitely needed a cleaning. Also, black out curtains would be nice to sleep in, but that is probably a luxury. Other than that, I would highly recommend this spot, especially for the location, price, and kind hosts. Thanks for the pleasant stay. :)"
6369694,39194351,2015-07-21,35315351,Christine,"Carlos was friendly and helpful. The location is exactly as shown and is across from a convenience store, which helped with late night munchies. Only spent a night here to catch a flight out of Austin, so it did the job and I had a place to sleep. "
6369694,39459893,2015-07-23,10319232,Brett,The room was much nicer and bigger than the picture might lead you to believe.  Carlos was great and all went smoothly.

The studio is separate from the house, so you truly have your own place. Erica is a really nice host, we booked kind of last minute but it was no problem. She also told us about an Asian restaurant nearby which we liked very much. Totally recommended for anyone who wants a relaxing stay in Austin! "
969135,5568033,2013-07-06,7097839,Tim,"Fantastic, huge detatched cottage in the backyard of a cool house on an extremely quiet one way street. About 5 minutes by car or 15 by bicycle from downtown nightlife district. Shower seemed new, and rest of the interior is freshly painted and spotless. 

Room comes with well-padded queen-size futon, decently sized  four place table, extra inflatable bed, and a shelf full of board games and books. 

The chickens won't bother you if you don't, and none of them are roosters, so you won't get woken up in the morning.

A part of the complete Austin experience, highly reccomended."

969135,6927864,2013-08-30,1413868,Hope,Quiet street. Quiet and cute studio. Clean. Simple. Erica is a very laid back individual. And so are her chickens. Nice digs.

"
969135,7205475,2013-09-10,8336075,Sabrina,We had a fantastic time in Austin and part of that positive experience was due to our accommodations in Erica's studio.  It was exactly what we needed/wanted. It was really nice to relax in her studio and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of her residential community. It was especially nice to wake up each morning to the chickens. It was very clean and  only minutes from downtown via car. Would definitely stay here again! 
969135,8094144,2013-10-15,5145698,Sarah,"The studio was really nice, pretty convenienct location. We ended up leaving early due to heavy rains and Erica refunded part of our fee for the night the same day, she was really great!"
969135,8246537,2013-10-21,4873259,Annie,Great stay! 
969135,8357510,2013-10-27,9451482,Chad,Cool location - nice space - clean and relaxing. Loved the chickens! Erica was a great host. Would definitely stay again.
969135,8421002,2013-10-29,9565592,Michele,"We got a prompt response confirming the reservation. The house was close to downtown and easy to find. It was quiet, clean, and adorable. I would definitely book again. "
969135,8468676,2013-11-01,8866540,Corinne,"Wonderful place to stay! Quiet and safe neighborhood. Great studio, would stay here again for sure."
969135,8694187,2013-11-12,6213544,Owen,"The place was really nice.  Open, clean, very private.  It was like having a studio apartment for the weekend.  Erica was very nice and it was fun seeing the roosters in the morning.  A great first AirBNB experience!"
969135,9052421,2013-12-03,9225291,Nicole,"Really enjoyed the stay here in the detached studio. Spent one night with a friend visiting from out of town. The room was very spacious and clean. I liked that there were some games in the room! The bed was very comfortable and roomy for two. It was a real treat to wake up and see the hens in the morning. Location is nice, just a short drive from the downtown area."
969135,9511226,2013-12-31,4621208,Kathy,"Erica's studio was very clean, airy, and comfortable.  There is not enough of a kitchen to truly cook in but with such great food in Austin, why would you bother?  Erica was pleasant and gave us great food suggestions."
969135,9806461,2014-01-11,9353278,Lurah,My boyfriend and I stayed at Erica's Studio for a week in early January during a cold spell. The studio was very warm and were were not able to tell how cold it was outside from the comfort of the room. It was very convenient to downtown in a quiet neighborhood.  Since we were there for a week we were able to settle in and feel at home. Erica was a very welcoming host and made us feel very comfortable with our stay. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin.
969135,9942483,2014-01-20,11243268,Amy,"My husband and I came into town to see a concert at ACL, and we were lucky to book with Erica. Her detached studio was really nice and not more than a 10 minute drive to downtown. The studio was colorful, clean, and all we needed for the night. The only mirror is on the tall dresser so doing my makeup was a little challenging, but really not a big deal. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice place to stay in Austin! "
969135,10397715,2014-02-17,3547879,Cynthia,"Great place to stay. Large room, bed is comfortable enough. Fridge was available. The shower had great pressure and got hot quickly! I would stay here again. "

969135,10781714,2014-03-07,4620327,Tuur,"Great stay, no complaints! "
969135,11106694,2014-03-21,4834655,Simon,"Erica's studio apartment was perfect for my stay in Austin, attending the sxsw festival, myself and a friend were looking for somewhere near downtown that we could safely store our luggage and hang out while we had some down time. Erica was very welcoming and showed us in, providing us with an extra airbed which was all set up and ready on our arrival. The area is peaceful and easy to find your way around in. The room is spacious and the shower is excellent!"
969135,11186785,2014-03-24,459043,Elise,"Very clean, comfortable spot. Easily sleeps three.The place feels a little out of the way (quiet, residential neighborhood) but is in fact a very quick drive to lots of attractions. We never met in person but Erica was very helpful!  We enjoyed the chickens outside our front door. Make sure to check out Bouldin Street Cafe for delicious vegetarian breakfast and friendly service!"
969135,11462554,2014-04-03,11152655,Hein & Marlous,"Staying with Erica was really nice, we booked the studio on very short notice and it was colorful, comfortable and clean. The location is really nice as well, just a few minutes' drive to downtown. If you're looking for a peaceful, private stay in Austin, then this is definitely a place we would recommend.
"
969135,11556767,2014-04-07,202111,Derrick,"We had a great stay in Austin! Erica's place was cozy, clean and comfortable, and very close to the key places around the city. She was a wonderful host too! We had an uncommon request of an early check in, and she gladly met us to pass us the key. Would definitely recommend her place to anyone traveling to Austin."
969135,11682631,2014-04-12,11949753,Patricia E,"This place is nice. It is in a really good location, in a little residential area within minutes to downtown. Erica is very kind and will give you your private space unless you need anything. Good little place to stay for any concerts or events at Circuit of the Americas!"
969135,11798887,2014-04-15,4628919,Erin,"We had a fabulous stay in Erica's studio. Perfectly quiet and comfortable with ever so friendly & curious chickens to greet you in the morning! It was the perfect place for us to unwind after three long days of selling artwork downtown. Close enough to downtown to get you there in less than 15 minutes, but far enough away from city and traffic noise so that you feel as if you're visiting a quaint country cottage. Loved this place and will definitely stay again!"
969135,11999875,2014-04-21,12914166,Renea`,"Cute place, missing some common necessities but otherwise would recommend & stay again on my next visit to Austin."
969135,12296977,2014-04-28,9073241,Peter,"My wife and I had a great stay at this studio. It is simple and clean. Erica was very nice and flexible (e.g., when we had to check out late). I would recommend this place."
969135,13124937,2014-05-19,15601540,Morgan,"I had a great stay at Erica's Studio!  I made last minute plans and Erica was very helpful.  The place is very nice with a private entrance and shower.  The apartment is located very close to town and is a great starting point to adventure around town.

Likes: Very close to town, private entrance, comfortable bed and nice amenities.

Note:  There is a dog, but it's super nice!  There are also chickens close by and while they don't make a lot of noise, this may bother some.  Overall a great experience and I would definitely stay there again!"
969135,13684297,2014-06-02,15047350,Juan Pablo,"Erica's studio was the perfect place to stay in Austin. It's a 10-15 minute drive to UT, located on a quiet street, very clean and well maintained. I spent 2 weeks there and had to commute to downtown daily. 

She was a great host, everything was perfectly in place when I got there, and she was always available but very respectful of my privacy.  I'm very pleased and would certainly recommend it to friends and family!

"
969135,15555862,2014-07-11,10723242,Michael,"Erica was very responsive and helpful and made sure to sy hello when I 1st arrived.
The studio was clean, neat, and roomy. Only minutes from downtown Austin but very quiet and private. "
969135,16049298,2014-07-20,755170,Daylon,"Erica was very quick to respond to my inquiry and she was more than accommodating with my special request to check in very late (after 9pm!). She answered all questions promptly and was great to interact with.

The room was quiet, clean, and exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend to anyone coming to Austin to look up Erica and her cute little detached studio! "
969135,16877788,2014-08-03,8658098,Amanda,Our stay at Erica's was great! It was so peaceful & relaxing. The space was comfy & clean. The apt was nearby the highway & close by South congress. Would definitely recommend staying here! 
969135,18835259,2014-09-01,11689525,Myrna,"The space was colorful and very quiet.  We spent a restful night on an extremely comfortable bed.  The bathroom does not have it's own sink but the kitchen area sink is directly outside the bathroom.  There was good coffee AND great coffee available which was a plus!  The sheets had the unmistakable odor of sun-bleach and evidence of sustainability, which we appreciate, (i.e. recycling, reclaiming rain water) was around the house. 
We where in town for a triathlon and Erica was accommodating for a later check out so Britt could have access to a shower afterwards.

A good value and a lodging we would recommend. "
969135,19496811,2014-09-13,6583681,Clarissa,"Our stay with Erica was fantastic, and she provided us with all the support (and communication) we could expect from a host.

The studio is beautiful, spaceful and the decoration has a great taste; it seems to have been recently renovated. It was also really clean, something that's not so easy to find.

Neighborhood is calm and has that suburbs vibe which was exactly what I was looking for. Overall, Erica's place is a great place to be in Austin, and me and my boyfriend would love to come back!"
969135,19583645,2014-09-14,6583681,Clarissa,"We had to add another couple of days to our stay because I got a bad flu, and Erica was great — she lent us a thermometer and was super flexible with the checkout times. "
969135,20780874,2014-10-05,21638750,Chloe,"Great location, nice property, and friendly hosts. No complaints!"
969135,21181840,2014-10-12,22252896,Patrick,"Erica is a great host. The room is great! Cozy and clean. The shower is wonderful with a nice, relaxing, multi stream showerhead. The fouton bed was a little firm for our normal but, after a long day (or three) of ACL music festival this was a non-issue. Never heard a peep out of the chickens and they were beautiful to look at in the morning. We would definitely park our heads here again. Thank you Erica! Hope to see you next year!"
969135,22147440,2014-10-31,21684736,Gareth,"Erica’s studio was great. I stayed for 9 nights. The photos and description are accurate. I was over for the Austin Film Festival and Conference so I needed a space that would be convenient for down-town but would also be a place I could get some work done, so it was perfect for me. Quiet area. The bus stop was very close and the buses regular. It took about 20 minutes by bus into down-town, sometimes quicker depending on traffic. The odd cab ride back at night wasn't expensive. The neighbourhood also has shops and places to eat. Erica was helpful and friendly and let me store my luggage on my final day."
969135,22234331,2014-11-02,20989933,David,"We had a great time staying at Erica's place. The guest house was perfect for what we were looking for during our stay race weekend. It was half the cost than staying at a 1 star hotel. She made sure we had everything we needed. The bus was also a short walking distance away. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend staying there."
969135,22588315,2014-11-10,11017963,Sheena,"Erica was a fabulous host! This was my first AirBnB experience and everything went so well! Erica's lovely studio was perfect for my husband and I. It was close enough to downtown and wedding festivities we were in town for, detached so we didn't feel like a burden to Erica and her home, and she was so helpful when we asked for an iron! It was also bright and cheery and had great amenities. "
969135,24793394,2015-01-02,25315663,Bird,Erica's space was very clean and cozy. She was very welcoming and when we thought we may need a second night in the room she was very flexible. We loved that the space was separate from the main house for more privacy and we could come and go without disturbing anyone. We will definitely request to stay here first if we ever need to again! The chickens were lovely and everything about the property is adorably Austin. 
969135,25781854,2015-01-25,5751227,Rob,I had a great stay at Erica's guest house! Erica was was very timely with her replies and open to questions. The guest house extremely clean and cozy. I would totally stay there again while in Austin. 
969135,25970330,2015-01-31,26086452,Lindy,"Staying at Erica's was really a great experience! The guest house was very charming. The main room and bathroom were both very clean, and there was plenty of room. The A/C unit kept it completely cool and comfortable. The futon/bed was very comfortable as well. 

We also enjoyed the view of the backyard and the many chickens. 

Their place is in a very quaint neighborhood and we enjoyed spotting the many neighborhood cats as we drove in and out. It's a very quick drive to downtown, so it was very convenient.

Erica was great about giving us space and privacy, and was very kind in speaking with her. I would definitely stay here again."
969135,26752755,2015-02-18,4044016,John,"Erica was extremely accommodating and communicative before and during my stay. I was house hunting in Austin so my timeline was unknown...no problem! Loved the chickens, loved the quiet neighborhood, loved the two-minute drive to Tacos N Madre (the best breakfast burrito in Austin--shhh!). Would be a bit tricky without a car, but if you have one with you, this location rocks!"
969135,27404602,2015-03-03,13204145,William,"We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable. We were very busy in and out the whole 3 days we stayed in Austin, but Erica was always very helpful and responsive whenever we had any needs. This is a great great option if you want your own tiny private guest house. Also an awesome value for what you are getting."
969135,27992358,2015-03-16,25283652,Leanne,"Erica was a great host! She let us do our own thing but was very helpful whenever we asked for anything. The space is very comfortable and is a reasonable 7 or 10 minute walk from lots of bus stops. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the space is equipped with all the comforts you'll need (coffee maker, fridge, table, etc). I highly recommend staying with Erica and would absolutely do it again! "
969135,28305845,2015-03-22,1779566,Josh,"Erika was a great host. Always kind and smiling, she always made us feel right at home. Her studio was the perfect place to get a away from the hussle of the city, but close enough to the action to not be feeling left out. Thank you Erika!"
969135,28692246,2015-03-28,30100405,Alejandro,"Erica kindly accepted our request to stay in Austin on such short notice. We truly enjoyed our stay and really enjoyed venturing outside of the city proper, to see what else was around the area. The studio was amazing and a quaint unit with all the neccessities one needs during a trip in Austin.

If ever back we would love to stay here again!

Thank you so much Erica!"
969135,28771911,2015-03-29,11372273,Shannyn,"I really enjoyed my stay. The room was clean, private,  and reminded me of a beach cabin. The host was incredibly accommodating by allowing me to book same day."
969135,29318408,2015-04-06,3094812,Maria,"Our stay at Erica's was wonderful. She was very welcoming and friendly whenever we saw her. The studio felt like we were staying in a completely separate house, and it was very private.

The studio is in a very pleasant leafy road with lots of friendly wandering cats and it's very close to the centre of Austin (5 mins by car). 

The kitchenette had everything we needed, including a hot plate and a coffee maker and Erica had left a few basics like coffee, tea and sugar there, which is always nice. 

We had a great stay in Austin, thank you Erica and family!"
969135,29592962,2015-04-09,14401416,Emily,"Erica was a very accommodating and kind host! We scheduled on short notice (the day before) and she was happy to take us. She was also willing to provide suggestions for places to visit while in Austin and a was very happy to provide us with anything we might need. The studio was lovely! Thanks for a great stay in Austin, Erica!"
969135,29652209,2015-04-10,30899776,Andrew,Great place and great host! Awesome location as well! Will be calling her again.
969135,30716080,2015-04-26,30934526,Marshall,"Erica was a most gracious host- The place was exactly as described and provided the perfect spot to crash/ recoup during a hectic wedding weekend.  Cozy, private, and convenient- everything we were looking for.  Thanks Erica!"
969135,31275562,2015-05-03,345932,Loren,"Cute place, great location, lovely host.  Thanks"
969135,31978198,2015-05-12,20218088,Carl,"Erica, made us feel very welcome, the space was clean & cute.
Quiet, relaxing yet close to everything we wanted to do in Austin.
We would definitely stay here again!"
969135,32397215,2015-05-17,32537200,Sabba,"Lovely, open, private space. Very natural & in a good location to downtown. "
969135,33487188,2015-05-28,33911853,Evelyn,"Erica was a delightful and very helpful hostess!  Even brought me food from a delivery service when I was too sick one morning to get it myself.  The studio was quiet, spacious, comfortable and the AC worked great (huge plus).  The chickens were also an awesome touch.  Highly recommend her—this was a lovely first Airbnb experience for me.  "
969135,33560030,2015-05-29,33911853,Evelyn,The place was lovely and just as described!  Erica was super helpful and friendly.
969135,34349518,2015-06-07,32868906,Elizabeth,"Our stay in Erica's studio was wonderful. It was comfortable and had everything we needed. It's in a great location-just a short distance from downtown and South Congress. The neighborhood was nice and quite and we enjoyed seeing the chickens in the morning and petting the cats. We didn't actually meet Erica until we were loading up our car about to leave-but she was very easy to get ahold of for any questions we had. 
All that said, I would definitely recommend you stay here when you're in Austin! "
969135,34840937,2015-06-12,1235409,Mina,"The place was nice, very basic but ok for the price. I only stayed one night as i chose to move closer to the SoCo area. I never met with Erica, but she was very responsive and flexible with the booking I made on short notice."
969135,37401441,2015-07-06,32621662,Nate,"Erica was wonderful. She let us do our own thing, but she was helpful and got back to us quickly whenever we had questions. The space itself was great. It was very private and fairly large for a detached studio apartment. The painted floor and rafters gave the space a very cozy feeling. It was a bit far from the city if you are expecting to walk or use public transit, but it was super convenient for us since we used Uber the entire trip. The price was extremely reasonable for what we received, and I would definitely stay here again if we returned to Austin."
969135,38470311,2015-07-15,6913559,Grant,"Comfortable bed, quiet neighborhood, responsive host."
969135,38752987,2015-07-18,33279435,Cheryl,"Accurate description, comfortable and excellent communication. Flight delays are a pain but Erica accommodated the changes with good humor - which was much appreciated."
969135,40067373,2015-07-27,876079,Dwight,"Erica was a pleasure to stay with, and was highly responsive to requests and questions via the web, email and the AirBNB app. 

The room is large and spacious and has amenties like a fridge, sink and table. I enjoyed my stay and would gladly repeat."
969135,40861831,2015-08-02,29762121,Matt,I loved the space. Exactly what I wanted.  
969135,43126931,2015-08-17,24669472,Tony,Everything went smoothly - from communication with Erica to our stay at the detached studio. I would definitely consider her accommodations should I return for another visit to Austin!
969135,45597186,2015-09-04,11668921,Cecilia,Erica's studio was spacious and very comfortable. I stayed there for two weeks while I was waiting to move into my new apartment. It was good to have use of the small kitchen which although fairly basic was perfectly adequate for my needs. The studio is only a 10 minute walk to the #7 bus which will get you into downtown Austin in about 10-15 minutes.
969135,45825278,2015-09-06,40901976,David,"Erica was very easy to communicate with and answered all of my emails and calls promptly.  Her studio apartment is close in to downtown and only minutes from 6th street the Capital and UT.
While it is in town it is in a secluded ad quiet area.  Her cottage is clean and comfortable and bed bug free.
Be advised that Erica raises poultry and they are very close to the front door of her cottage."
969135,47781867,2015-09-21,42957553,Sergey,"Erica was great, easy to communicate with. The studio was large, lots of space. This was my first time using Airbnb. Neighborhood was quiet. Not much going on. Plenty of privacy, as that is what I wanted for my wife and I. We were there for track event at Cota, so wasn't far from track. A/c was awesome since it was very hot outside. Would definitely stay there again. "
969135,48248144,2015-09-24,31485401,Jeffrey,"Response from Host was quick and efficient. The location was perfect for being in the south west end of Austin. Very close to the airport and the work sites I had to visit over the week.

The room was spacious, air conditioned and very clean. It is a very quiet street and very safe but you do need a car to get around here as it is outside of the core."
969135,48487512,2015-09-26,41282017,Amber,"It was a quick trip, but it was exactly what we needed. Slightly more expensive than I would have liked, but honestly, it was probably just as good as a hotel. Erica was very friendly, and even though the chickens are right outside the door, I didn't hear them at all. Lots of beautiful plants around, which made it even more pleasant. "
969135,48838152,2015-09-28,647644,Christophe,Very comfortable and private. Would happily stay again!
969135,50620462,2015-10-13,6291042,Kate,"We enjoyed 14 nights at this lovely studio off East Oltorf during ACL music festival, traveling from the UK.  A 10 min walk to bus stops which are frequent, and run late to/from downtown or SoCo.  Uber is also another great option.  The studio was bright and airy, and offered all the amenities we required, a plus was the kitchenette including a fridge.  The A/C worked a dream as we experienced hotter than average temps for month of October (high 90*s).  The bed (futon) was exceptionally comfortable as were the pillows, and very quiet.  We also enjoyed the free roaming chickens every morning!  Erica was very welcoming and helpful, it was no issue having an extra guest for one night during ACL with the help of inflatable mattress which we hear was also comfy!  Everything was as described and met our needs perfectly.    The location and amenities are well worth the value.  We would definitively stay again.  "
969135,51372684,2015-10-19,8998061,Melisa,"Erica is a wonderful host and responsive with our booking process and carrival coordination.  The studio was very cute, bright and comfortable and we left the french doors open in the am and watched the chickens entertain us over coffee.  The chickens were quiet and even though they are outside of the studio in the backyard, there was no smell either.  Keep the doors or windows open and you can hear the birds chirping in the am and crickets in the pm.
The neighborhood is super quiet  as was Erica and her family in the main house.  She was very helpful prior to our arrival with info regarding food, shopping, directions and check in.
Thanks so much for making us feel welcome in Austin!"
969135,51726818,2015-10-24,15939607,Dino,"The air conditioning was valuable on the date of my arrival but the description of the 'full bath' is a bit misleading as the there is no sink in the bathroom, but only in the 'kitchen' area. I did lose a key somehow my first night, and had to inconvenience the host for a replacement key at midnight, so I appreciate that level of flexibility. "
969135,51895452,2015-10-25,41094691,Aravind,"Me and my friend enjoyed our stay at Erica's studio. The place is exactly as described, in a quiet neighborhood, and minutes from tons of restaurants. Despite the fact that the thunderstorm messed with our plans a lot, Erica was super flexible. I'd totally recommend this place to my friends if they ever wanted a stay near downtown Austin! "
969135,52038009,2015-10-26,30743737,Paul,"Lovely little studio.  Clean, quiet, no TV, but very comfortable. Just what we expected, including a good night for sleeping.  Close to some good food.  Thanks Erica."
5778911,35935964,2015-06-23,33245400,Teresa,We enjoyed our stay. The home was delightful and close enough to walk to the downtown. We would stay here again.
5778911,36539231,2015-06-29,24018729,Travis,"Beautiful place! Plenty of space, a fully equipped kitchen, and a nice porch and yard. Doug and Savanna were not in town but they made sure we made it into the house and left us with all the essentials (coffee, water, beer).

A nice, quiet, residential neighborhood within walking distance (~30 min) from downtown and East Austin."
959733,3791714,2013-03-15,1670486,Chris,"Julia was a great host - very accommodating! She went above and beyond the default Airbnb expectations - offering to give us rides around town, making coffee and toast for us each morning, and giving us recommendations for places to go around town. I'd highly recommend staying with her and her husband.

P.S. The two puppies are completely adorable."
959733,3810327,2013-03-17,5352563,Bob,"Julia and Tom were wonderful hosts.  I spent very little time at their home due to business commitments, and they were very understanding of my late night/early morning schedule.  Fresh coffee the first morning was a pleasant and appreciated surprise!  Thank you both.  "
959733,4278498,2013-04-23,6014863,Alberto,"I enjoyed my stay here.  They were able to get the place ready at a very last minute's notice in the evening.  Very friendly and hospitable.  I was able to come and go at any time (that was one of my concerns for one of these places), cab rides from here to downtown are $12-13/ about 10-15 minutes ride.  Their dogs are very playful and friendly, but they have their own section in the house if you're not into cute lil pups coming up to greet you.  I'm not sure if this is all year-round but they have a set of christmas lights on the porch so that you can find your way back to the house easily, that was very useful.  I recommend this to anyone that's looking to try something different from a hotel but still wants to be close to downtown Austin.  "
959733,4638807,2013-05-17,4316249,Esther,"Julia and Tom were fantastic to stay with! Both super lovely, friendly and easy going. They made us feel right at home from the start. They even had a bag of fresh coffee beans for us on our arrival! The house is beautiful with art work throughout it, great  kitchen facilities, really clean and a big backyard space.  The location is good too! You can catch a bus or train into downtown but there are cafes and restaurants a 15/20 minute walk away. If you want recommendations both Julia and Tom know the city really well and can point you in the right direction. There is also a BBQ place at the end of their street, which we tried and thought was really good. But we had the best BBQ experience with Tom smoking us brisket for dinner, we loved it!!  Oh and the two gorgeous puppies Roxie and Zues (scientist) are great dogs. We loved hanging out with them! Overall we couldn't have asked for a better stay in Austin! Can't recommend their place enough!! Hopefully will see you in Melbourne : ) "
959733,7088684,2013-09-06,8441077,Angelica,"This was my first BNB experience, I had a last minute booking for me and a friend to Austin for the weekend. Julia was an angel to accommodate us at such short notice. Julia and Tom's home is very zen like and hippie chic. Her dogs are more than cute and super friendly which made our stay even better!!!! Julia is a great host as she was very communicative,  as well helpful with showing us great places to eat around town. She was sweet to provide us with comfy towels and amazing french press coffee. THANK YOU AGAIN JULIA AND TOM! You made our experience more than great! :)"
959733,7933734,2013-10-08,4113296,Vincent,"We enjoyed our stay with Julian and Tom a lot. They were very welcoming and extremely helpful by giving us tips where to eat etc. in Austin. The room is large and comfortable and the house very clean. Their two puppies are adorable and well behaved. Overall a great stay, and we'll definitely be back whenever traveling to Austin."
959733,8355056,2013-10-27,9337673,Ww,I booked Julia's place a day or two before my arrival and they accommodated me generously. They are a lovely couple and the house is very comfortable. I would highly recommend the place. 
959733,8485826,2013-11-02,9293444,Kat,"Julia and her husband were very gracious and easy-going hosts and I won't hesitate to contact them before future visits to Austin.  They were eager to offer advice about restaurants, transportation, and events happening around town during the week of Halloween. Julia responded quickly to questions and concerns via email and phone even before the stay began.

The house is cozy, brightly decorated, and has a spacious back deck and yard.  A low gate partitioned an area in the house for her friendly dogs to roam, but they were just as happy to cuddle if you'd let them!  My friends and I were able to use some fridge space and had a private bathroom to ourselves. Julia was kind enough to provide us with fresh coffee beans for our stay.  It was a thoughtful touch that really made us feel welcomed.  

The house is conveniently located between two bus lines and the light rail that run downtown so even without a car the location was ideal.  A cab ride from W. 6th St. ran us about $12.  As my first Airbnb experience, I'm really pleased with the overall convenience of the online service and the benefits of staying with locals."
959733,8834184,2013-11-20,7995302,Alexander,"Tom and Julia are a great couple who looked after us incredibly well. We were rushing in and out a lot but they always made us feel welcome and at ease in their place. The house is very comfortable with a nice decking out in the garden to enjoy the Texas sun! The cute dogs and the free Austin coffee only added to the experience! Thank you for such a great stay,

Alex and Will"
959733,9855940,2014-01-14,9722884,CHelsea,"Julia and Tom were great hosts! This was my first AirBNB experience so I was on the fence. I will 100% recommend Airbnb AND Julia and Tom's house in the future. The location of the house was great, very close to both the airport, and downtown. They gave us tons of recommendations for places to see and eat. Never having been to Austin before, it was a huge help having them there. The house is clean, and the dogs are the BEST. Julia and Tom both made our visit to Austin so comfortable. We stayed in both rooms, and had our own bathroom that was great as well. The back deck is great for lounging in the sun, having drinks, and enjoying the Texas weather. I will be back to Austin that is for sure!"
959733,10397917,2014-02-17,10848839,Elisabeth,Great stay in Austin! Julia and Tom were warm and welcoming with excellent restaurant recommendations. You will feel relaxed and at home during your stay. The dogs are sweet also! 
959733,10761461,2014-03-06,11029146,Megan,"Myself and my two friends stayed with Julia and Tom and we can't recommend them highly enough! They have a beautiful, relaxed and comfortable place, lovely rooms, and a separate bathroom for guests. They made us feel so welcome! Their home is in an awesome area and they were always contactable and had heaps of recommendations for great places to eat and go out. The doggies are gorgeous! I would definitely stay with them again (for the amazing coffee alone!) and recommend anyone do the same. Thanks guys! :) "
959733,10901345,2014-03-12,2737660,He,We had a great time at SXSW and at Julia and Tom's sweet home! The house is only 2-3miles away from the downtown. It's so lucky for us to find such a great place to stay during the crazy festival. Julia and Tom are super friendly and helpful. They have two cute puppies in the house and they are super friendly too. We will definitely come back to South by and stay with them! : ) 
959733,11004645,2014-03-17,11512030,Genevieve,"my friends and i had a great time with julia, tom, and their amazing dogs during sxsw. their home is beautiful, cozy, and convenient and julia and tom were so fun, welcoming, and understanding of our crazy schedules. we would be more than happy to stay again next we are in austin! "
959733,11136031,2014-03-22,315751,Sharon,"Very comfy stay with Julia and Tom! I'm an older woman and was concerned about using AirBnB instead of a hotel, but this absolutely worked out for me. I wanted the warmth of a home, the nice experience of having dogs around (their dogs are very laid back, and unobtrusive. I don't think they bark and they were ""respectful,"" e.g. didn't nose around in my luggage!) The room looks like the picture shows it, uncluttered and sunny! The house has a lot of nice art hanging on the walls and is on a quiet street. Julia and Tom were so sweet that it felt like going to stay with a niece or a nephew. They just really wanted me to feel at home there. I was able to make myself good coffee in the morning and had a private bathroom. There was GREAT internet which is important to me because often in hotels they say they have wireless but it's weak.  At night when I went to bed, even if Julia and Tom were still up, I didn't hear them.  When I got up earlier than they did and padded around the kitchen, they didn't hear me. When I got up in the middle of the night and watched Netflix they didn't hear me. So even though it's a one story home, I felt there was enough privacy and enough company when I wanted it.  Location-wise, it's about a 20 minute walk to a nice coffeehouse like the Thunderbird Cafe. I also noted that there was a bus that seemed to go down MLK Drive.  IN SHORT, I would definitely stay with them again and I would tell others to stay with Julia and Tom. "
959733,11966654,2014-04-20,13711178,Eileen,"This was such a pleasant experience :). Julia was extremely friendly and accommodating. I was nervous since this was my first Airbnb experience, but it was a perfect introduction! "
959733,12300751,2014-04-28,3829207,Deborah,"Julia and Tom are gracious hosts—warm and welcoming. They have a beautiful, comfortable, and clean home that was exactly as described. Julia was also very helpful with local recommendations. I would happily stay here again!"
959733,12583979,2014-05-05,4911338,Katherine,"Julia and Tom were fantastic hosts! Their home is beautiful, exactly as described, and full of great and unique character. They are super friendly and welcoming, and have great recommendations (which we definitely followed!). Their two dogs are incredibly sweet and friendly, and were definitely a major plus during our stay. When we got there, Julia had left a bag of local coffee beans for us to use while we were there; needless to say the coffee was delicious. My friends and I would absolutely stay at Julia and Tom's home again the next time we head to Austin! "
959733,13130045,2014-05-20,955838,Jim,"Nice room in newly remodeled section of East Austin. Very laid back couple, easy to chat with and also easy to come and go as needed.  Always appreciate finding the Austinites with similar green sensitivities on AirBnB.  Would gladly stay here again."
959733,13477778,2014-05-28,14476696,Takunda,"Julia was out of town, but Tom was a great host. He provided great recommendations for places to go and things to try. He's very friendly and quite handy.

If you like dogs, you'll love their dogs. They are quiet and friendly! Nice quiet neighborhood, and the house is a couple of blocks away from the metro, which takes you downtown and to E. 6th street if you don't have a car.

The neighborhood is fairly interesting with different kinds of architecture to look at if you're into that sort of thing."
959733,15330222,2014-07-07,16185561,Imelda,"We had a great time at Julia and Tom's home! They have a beautiful, relaxed home. They made us feel so welcome. They were always contactable and very helpful with local recommendations. I would definitely stay with them again. "
959733,16796711,2014-08-02,18146528,Corey,"Julia and Tom were amazing hosts! I stayed with them for a bit longer than expected but the whole time they were nothing but accommodating. Whenever you wanted to converse they were talkative and welcoming, and when you wanted quite they were more than happy to do so. They also have the cutest and friendliest dogs known to man. I would highly recommend you stay here if you are visiting town! "
959733,17084053,2014-08-06,11485426,Daniel,"Julia and Tom were excellent hosts. The room was cozy with great windows and a comfy bed. The puppies, Zeus and Roxie, were lovely and very well behaved! The neighborhood is quiet and extra close to the train station to get to downtown. Our time there was very relaxing at night and we enjoyed the company of the entire family as well."
959733,17589506,2014-08-14,1407081,Thu,"Julia and Tom were amazing hosts.  The week we stayed, they had some family over, and their family made us feel comfortable sharing their home.  Julia does great job taking care of the house.  Everything was in immaculate condition, from bedroom, to bathroom, to living spaces.  I loved the smell of fresh blankets and towels.  Their household has nice appliances and are pretty environmentally conscious (my favorites were the EO and JR Watkins soaps, very cool!).  Julia was prompt in whatever questions or problems we may have had (our only issue was we just needed refrigerator space, which she went out of her way to make room for our groceries).  This is the first time we brought food, and felt really comfortable using the variety of kitchen tools she (website hidden), you will probably get to meet the pups.  Roxy and Zeus are the cutest pups that mosey around the house the the most amicable way.  They are adorable, and you can feed them treats if you like!  

There's ample parking space if you are bringing a car.  The house feels very safe and welcoming.  The neighborhood a couple blocks away seemed a little sketch as we went out to grab some sandwiches at night, but hey.. some areas you just know to avoid.

We would definitely stay at her place again whenever we need a place to crash in East Austin.  It's perfect for a long trip.  Julia is the model airbnb host, and we can't thank her enough for making us feel at home!"
959733,18353386,2014-08-25,19681288,Gabriel,"The second I walked in I felt incredibly welcome. This was my first time in Austin and Julia and Tom made it a better experience than I could ever have hoped. The room was cozy, clean and comfortable and Julia has THE nicest puppies to which my cat will probably miss the most :)
Their home is so cute and adorable, and they make a wicked cup of coffee.

All in all, they helped me with more than just giving me a place to stay. They showed me the real southern hospitality that I've heard so much about. 

Thank you guys, it was AMAZING!!!!"
959733,20421022,2014-09-29,345259,Laura,"Julia and Tom were wonderful hosts and made me feel completely welcome in their home during my extended stay. (I also fell in love with their sweet dogs.)

959733,20924184,2014-10-07,21644737,Andres,Julia and Tom were my first hosts using airbnb and what a way to start! They are genuinely super nice. Even their dogs are really friendly! The neighborhood is beautiful and very close to downtown and other cool places in town. The rooms and the whole house were clean and cozy and my friends and I were really happy during our stay. Julia even made us a nice a cup of coffee one day when we were dragging in the morning. I definitely will contact them for my future trips to Austin!
959733,23139351,2014-11-23,263781,Anne,"Tom met us at the house when we arrived and was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He showed us our room, offered us a drink and asked if there was anything else he could do to make us feel comfortable. The house and room were beautiful and very very clean. The dogs are adorable and friendly. Everything was perfect. I highly recommend this listing!"

84106,307045,2011-06-10,271699,Michelle,"Our stay at the Bungalow was amazing. Katherine is super friendly and easy to connect with. The house was very clean and organized and had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and living room. I stayed there with my 3 year old and there were toys and books for her to use, and movies for her to watch. The neighborhood is one of the best in Austin. You can walk to so many great places, and Katherine leaves a list of these places for you when you visit. 
I recommend this place to everyone who is visiting Austin, especially if you have children!"
84106,662392,2011-10-25,1035059,Melanie,"The house was great- clean, comfortable, well located. Katherine shared details of where she would be and how to reach her and was available but unobtrusive."

84106,998681,2012-03-14,1396453,Dana,We stayed at Katherine's home (2.5 full bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) during SXSW 2012.  It was perfect. Walking distance to SoCo as well as Austin Convention Center. Perfect spot to see all things Austin without being in the midst of the madness.  Katherine's made Austin a second home.
84106,2202628,2012-09-04,3092337,David,This was a last minute booking and Katherine was extremely responsive and helpful to make it happen!  The house was great and exactly what we were looking for...very clean and you can't beat the location!  GREAT PLACE!

84106,2684242,2012-10-22,3676672,Jamie,The house is so cute and perfect. I would live there permanently if I had my way. A group of friends and I stayed in the home to celebrate the last few days of my friend's single status before she becomes as Mrs. It was perfect. Thanks Kat!!!!
84106,2751352,2012-10-29,3843240,Angela,This was a wonderful house with a great location!  We were close to South Congress as well as the parks! We ran from the house down to lady bird trail with our children and it was wonderful! Quiet and the back deck made for wonderful evenings!

The beds were comfy with crisp sheets. The space was perfect for kids with a fenced in yard and backyard. The neighborhood is extremely close to 1st Ave and South Congress, we even walked all the way downtown and to lady bird lake. Very walkable and drivable."
84106,3671936,2013-03-02,2317327,Lea,"This house is awesome!  Kat was really nice and let us know ahead of time if she needed to stop by.  The house was in a really easy to access part of town, so if you don't plan on renting a car, this is the place to be.  Right on a main bus line and in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin (I may be biased, I used to live there).  The house itself is adorable, really well kitted out and I wish we had been less busy and had more time to spend actually just hanging out on the nice back porch or the comfortable living room sofa.  If you get a chance, this is a great place to stay!"

The house was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for our needs-- immaculate, spacious (bedrooms are spread out), and conveniently located to everything.  The boys spent hours playing football in the front yard, and we enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants (MUST try La Barbeque if you go!).  Can't wait to return... thanks, Kat, for an unforgettable trip!"

As mentioned in the description, the furnishings and linens were stylish and oh-so-comfortable.  The spacious living room, porch, and yard were perfect hangouts for our group.  The house itself is situated in the heart of Austin, close to South Congress and all those sites restaurants we love so much!

On the second day the garbage disposal failed, and within an hour she had her repair guy (who was nice, competent and efficient) at the house replacing the unit with no hassles whatsoever.  I'll definitely be a repeat customer.   "
84106,9780645,2014-01-09,10920386,Caprice,Kat was wonderful to work with.  We were arranging lodging for employees for several weeks.

All around great experience. "

84106,10832693,2014-03-10,7283595,Sera,"Such a nice host, everything was great!"
84106,11360581,2014-03-31,12711519,Sylvia,"Very nice space!  We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to book again for our next Austin trip.  The home was so much better a hotel.  Sure a hotel is a little cheaper but this home was welcoming, clean, and unlike a hotel, you could cook, sit in the living area and chat, and enjoy the sunlit patio with your morning coffee. There is also a washer and dryer which was nice.  Perfect getaway!  Book it!"
84106,12535839,2014-05-05,12608820,Jen,The house was adorable and even cuter in person.  It was perfect for the 4 of us and Kat has thought of every last detail. She was super helpful and a pleasure to work with. We loved the food trucks in the neighborhood- Torchy’s Tacos and Gordough’s Donuts are must trys. Congress was a short walk with great shops and restaurants. Looks like a new coffee shop will soon open just down the street.
84106,13060041,2014-05-19,8629936,Karol,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bouldin Creek bungalow. The house truly was very charming, extremely neat and clean, and in a wonderful location.  We were greeted with milk and juice in the fridge, lots of fresh fruit, and croissants on the counter. We would stay here again but be advised that there are train tracks close by if you are a light sleeper. Kat was a wonderful host, very responsive, and a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making our time in Austin so memorable!"
84106,13406474,2014-05-27,403173,Tim,"Awesome little place in a great area. Walkable to 1st & Congress fun, and a short drive to everywhere else. Nice outside patio/sunporch to hang out."
84106,14210994,2014-06-14,528432,Michael,"The host was very accommodating to us with a last minute rental. However, the home was not properly prepared prior to arrival (beds were not made) which was somewhat frustrating. She did have cleaning people come the next day, but putting the beds together seems like an obvious thing to do. I even offered her a name of someone who could come help clean and she chose not to hire that person at the expense of my guests first night experience. Not cool. "
84106,20162426,2014-09-24,7139844,Steven,A great bungaloo in the heart of South Austin. Walking distance to tons of great stuff on Llamar and Congress. I'll definetly stay again. 
84106,20891944,2014-10-07,14611983,Lucas,"Based on ACL weekend trip.  Kat was excellent host and the house was fantastic for the weekend.  Was flexible with our timing and the place was as described/photographed and we generally loved the stay (each of us had been to ACL multiple times before and had stayed with friends or gotten a hotel room - this was a much better option).  Great unit for a group of five or six.  

In terms of things to note simply because they came up with our group and they are helpful to know: (a) it is about a 30 minute walk to Zilker - if you are feeling lazy you can grab a bike/peddle cab for about half the journey (it was nice on the way into Zilker but not really available on way out because bike/peddle cabs will not take you up the hill and prefer the longer trips for bigger fares); (b) there is a train nearby that is more frequent on Sunday than Friday/Saturday - it honestly didn't bother me at all but lighter sleepers will notice it; (c) if you have a group with lots of football fans you should be prepared to go to a bar since the TV channel lineup only has the basics - probably the better choice anyway because there are a number of great options; and (d) there is a very small grill but maybe not sufficient to accomodate a group cookout - we didn't try it but it was originally something we had planned to do.  All that being said, it was a great stay and we all agreed that it was much better (and basically the same price) than getting multiple hotel rooms.  "
84106,21668509,2014-10-21,5941342,Taylor,"From start to finish Kat was very helpful. She answered all of my questions promptly and included a comprehensive list of places to visit in the area. The rental was accurately depicted in the listing. The house is SO charming and in a great neighborhood. We could walk to coffee, shopping, and meals. We loved spending time talking on the back patio and listening to the train go by. "
84106,22352625,2014-11-04,1195385,Frode,"We where six lads traveling from Norway and UK. 
The location of the house was excellent, in a quiet neighborhood close to everything. 10 minutes walk from good restaurants, bars and everything you need. 25-30 mins walk down to downtown Austin, or a 10$ taxi ride.

The house was clean, spacey and everything was just as promised in the advert. 

When we come back to Austin we would love to stay here again, so all six of us would highly recommend the bungalow to anyone visiting (website hidden); this must be a fantastic location if you travel with family and kids."
84106,22577001,2014-11-10,18151214,Danielle,The house was absolutely charming and the perfect South Austin vibe. We had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Kat was very responsive and attentive. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The pictures are very accurate. Would definitely recommend.
84106,24276615,2014-12-24,8816375,Darren,Terrific South Austin spot.  Beautifully done interiors and comfortable.  Great service and follow up.  Pricey but worth it.
84106,26097148,2015-02-03,22615961,Kut,"This home was the perfect match for three colleagues working in town for a month. Kat was a great host, very easy to work with. The home and neighborhood are charming, great location."
84106,26741287,2015-02-18,4335678,Lynn,"We really enjoyed Kat's place. It was clean, thoughtfully decorated and very comfortable. We particularly enjoyed the neighborhood. It was quiet, yet walkable to the most wonderful eateries.  We highly recommend this place for your next trip to Austin.

I want to especially thank Kat for her prompt responses and attention to detail. She was a delight to work with."
84106,26943046,2015-02-22,1575151,Chris,"I put up four artists in the house during a music festival I host in Austin. The artists loved their stay and were very comfortable. The house is impeccably clean and the beds / bedding are super comfortable. The artists had 0 complaints and only nice things to say about their stay in the house. Kat and I had a difficult time meeting up in person (so I could take a look at the place in person before renting) because of our schedules - but once we did meet, she addressed all of my concerns clearly, professionally and friendly. Overall, this was a good experience."
84106,27401211,2015-03-03,27373650,Gina,"This house was perfect for our ""girl's weekend""! It was so welcoming and absolutely adorable."
84106,29138073,2015-04-04,10536742,Allison,"Kat was an incredible host and her Bungalow was PERFECT! Great (email hidden)e minute we dropped off our bags, we put on our running shoes and headed to Juiceland for a smoothie and a jog at Zilker Park.  A perfect Austin evening.  The house itself is immaculately clean, charming, and outfitted with a comfy hammock on a screened-in porch.  Our stay couldn't have been better!"
84106,29436013,2015-04-07,13938573,Richard,"Sweet house, great neighborhood, great hostess.  

Absolutely everything was exactly as described.  A little noisy in the morning with home construction across the street but, looked like they're about done. 

When the remote to the Roku disappeared, Kat (our hostess) replaced the entire system with a new Apple TV unit.  She was great. 

The neighborhood is very quiet with an eclectic and lively scene of great restaurants, coffee joints, food trucks, etc, within a few blocks.  The location is perfect in that it's perfectly situated to easily get pretty much anywhere in Austin. 

Bottom line, 4 thumbs up (2 of mine and 2 of my sister's)."
84106,29847370,2015-04-13,29129741,Daniel,Really cool neighborhood and great location.  The house description was very accurate.  Kat made us feel welcome and it made for a great weekend with friends in Austin.
84106,30300945,2015-04-20,27916172,Sarah,"This home was exactly as is shown through pictures, maybe even cuter in person. It is spacious and decorated perfectly, very warm and inviting. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure in the showers are perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the darling neighborhood surrounding the bungalow and hope to return on our next visit to Austin. "
84106,30764806,2015-04-27,2325870,Deborah,"The house was exactly as pictured and described: comfortable, spacious, clean, nicely decorated. Very quiet residential neighborhood, adequate parking and the lovely sound of the train passing by down the road, a few times a day.  Great location, loved staying here!"
84106,32527545,2015-05-19,30815139,Julie,"We had a reunion with some friends from across the country and decided to meet in Austin.  Six of us stayed in this charming home, which is in a great neighborhood, relatively close to downtown and Congress St.  We walked everywhere! Great location!

The home is well equipped, nicely decorated, and the linens and towels were great!  We enjoyed the back porch and walking/jogging in the neighborhood.  

Highly recommend and we would stay there again!"
84106,35205850,2015-06-16,16861474,Brian,The Bungalow is a very comfortable and charming pad. It was easy to check-in and out; when there was a plumbing issue it was addressed immediately; and nearly everything was as it said it would be. 95/100.
84106,40690899,2015-08-01,10536742,Allison,"We had an awesome stay at Kat's bungalow.  This house is clean, comfortable, cute, and close to everything.  We can't wait to stay here again!"
84106,44011087,2015-08-23,29635715,Stephanie,"Absolutely lovely bungalow! It was the perfect choice for our girls trip to Austin. Kat had everything we needed there, the stay was incredibly comfortable! We loved the colors and the art in the house. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Kat:)"
84106,45179082,2015-08-31,41950112,Carolyn,"We had the best time staying at the Bouldin Creek bungalow.  The house is adorable and it was comfortable with everything you might need at your fingertips.  It was very clean and warm and inviting and the checking in and checking out procedures were very easy.  The host, Kat was so helpful both in terms of helping us understand what things there were to do in the area as well as accommodating for my special needs.  I had a couple small children traveling with me and Kat provided some toys and a stroller and crib when we needed it.  The bungalow is close to everything and walking distance from 1st street which was really fun with all the food trucks.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends who are looking for a great family friendly place."
84106,46932991,2015-09-14,24420338,Eric,"This house worked great for me, my 2 friends and another couple. The neighborhood is beautiful and in a great location just a few blocks from all of the restaurants on South Congress. If you are looking for a place to unwind after exploring the city with all the basic amenities you have at home then I would highly recommend this property."
84106,48715057,2015-09-28,918498,Marianne,"This was a great house for us as we have a 22-month old and Kat provided a crib and the place was pretty infant-proofed... including a white picket fence around the front and back yard so our little one could play outside without us having to worry. We stayed here with a couple friends, making good use of the well equipped kitchen, reading the children's books, going for runs in the neighborhood and sampling the various restaurants on South First Street (Elizabeth Cafe - the vietnamese place was a favorite). Great place for families or a chill group of friends. "
84106,50612974,2015-10-13,25795311,Jennifer,"The listing was accurate - the neighborhood was great, quiet, perfect for families.  It is also within walking distance to amazing food trucks where we has amazing breakfast tacos every morning.  Kat was a great host, she left bagels and beer - how amazing is that?

The screened porch was perfect for a nigh cap."
743362,29914379,2015-04-14,12261238,Louis,The host was great.  He provided an accurate description and was real friendly.  He made it a very comfortable place to stay.
1979797,10921534,2014-03-13,3394433,Alexandra,"Abe was a great host start to finish. He was extremely available, even while he was out of the country. The house is beautiful, well-maintained, and in a great neighborhood minutes from downtown (note: the taxi situation in Austin is dire so you need a car). I'd absolutely recommend a stay in this home."
1979797,28381891,2015-03-23,22851248,Patrik,"Great house in a quiet and beautiful area. The house owner, Abe, was extremely helpful. Both in answering our questions and giving us tips in general. This was the first time we rented a house through airbnb, and it was surprisingly smooth. The entire stay elapsed without any problems. We had a very pleasant stay and would recommend both host and houses."
3853145,21227824,2014-10-13,4729379,Angeline,"Words cannot express how great our experience was staying in Eric's lovely home in Austin.  We were coming out to Austin for ACL and were welcomed with refreshments and very helpful tips on exploring the city from Eric.  The house was the perfect size for our party of four, nicely decorated and VERY clean!  It is conveniently located for getting around to all the hot spots in Austin but also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood great for getting a good night's sleep.  Overall, I would highly suggest staying here if you're coming to Austin--a real gem."
3853145,22221997,2014-11-01,19428473,Toni,"We stayed 1 night here and we wish we could have stayed longer.  Eric was very welcoming and was happy to take us for 1 night (booked last minute).  He left a few beers, yogurt, water and nibbles in the fridge for us - that was great!  The area was close to East 6th, which is where we wanted to stay.  The über driver said it wasn't the safest area & while walking at night I had a lady tell me to be careful, just something to keep in mind for solo travelers. However I felt completely safe staying here with friends.  The home was very clean, and spacious.  The home has a large washing machine & dryer.  Thanks for having us Eric. "
3853145,22560027,2014-11-09,23227052,Anna,The house was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was great. The host provided a list of things to do in the neighborhood. He was really nice and helpful. Great stay!
3853145,22703874,2014-11-12,4412214,Michael,"Eric was a fantastic host and the place couldn't have been better. 

Great quiet neighborhood, yet an abundance of amazing bars / restaurants / food trailers / etc. 

The house was in mint condition and Eric gave lots of valuable tips on what to scope out in and around Austin. 

Will definitely stay at Eric's next time we're back."
3853145,24492288,2014-12-29,15910890,Kris,"Eric was a great host. He was so nice to meet us even though we arrived late. The location was great, walking distance to some great bars and the awesome East Side Kings trailers. The beds were super comfy and the bathroom was great! We would stay here again, especially because it was super dog friendly!"
3853145,24967071,2015-01-04,6248832,Kristie,"This was my first airbnb experience and a good one I think!  Our host, Eric was very communicative from the get-go and all the way through to our arrival, and made sure that his place was clean and welcoming for us.  We were able to meet up as planned and do the handover of keys and instructions.  I was surprised that he actually left some food items for us-we greatly appreciated the Keurig coffee options in the morning!  The internet access and huge cable package was also nice. His home is lovely and right close to downtown and close to cute restaurants and shops.  I would recommend it to friends for sure!"
3853145,25346075,2015-01-12,25741327,Barbie,The cute house was in a good East Austin location.  Everything was new and clean.  Eric was easy and accommodating to work with.  
3853145,26603525,2015-02-16,20541055,Brian,"This was my first personal experience with Airbnb and Eric totally set the bar high. His home was perfect for us. There was plenty of room to sleep 4 of us comfortably. The house was spotless and the location was perfect. Lots of good food within walking distance and we paid a mere $4 to take Uber to downtown. 

Eric was a fantastic host: responsive, helpful and super friendly. We ran into him on our way in and he offered us a ride to Franklin's BBQ right up the street. Really cool guy. 

Overall, this was such a great experience and I would definitely book with Eric again! "
3853145,27019844,2015-02-23,6420101,Ellie,"We had a wonderful time in Eric's cottage.

3853145,27381259,2015-03-02,23268640,Kobi,"Great spot!  Owner was VERY accommodating on late notice. House was very clean and well equipped with all the necessary features and amenities. Also very good location near Franklins, as well as campus and downtown shopping. Highly recommend!"
3853145,28097034,2015-03-17,28619866,Michelle,"Eric was a fantastic host and the home was everything promised. The home was clean, with all the amenities. Eric was responsive and made sure my colleague and I had everything we needed during our visit. He even provided tips and recommendations for the area. I was able to walk to the Convention centre so the location was convenient. "

3853145,28825156,2015-03-30,28764179,Kristina,This was my first airbnb experience and Eric made it very easy and straight forward. The house was super clean and welcoming. I made the Austin trip with 2 other females and we never felt unsafe at any point. 
3853145,29297124,2015-04-06,1344939,Justin,"Eric's house was the perfect place to stay in Austin.  Everything was ready when we arrived and Eric was available to answer any questions.  The location is great for both walking downtown and having adequate space for parking (I highly recommend renting a car to visit the surrounding parks.)  East Austin has everything you need from convenience stores to live music bars and great shops., so Eric's place was perfect for a first time visit and any future trips."
3853145,29827495,2015-04-13,466715,Julia,"Eric was extremely responsive and communicative and gave us some good recommendations for places in the neighborhood which we did check out.  The house was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised at how he stocked the kitchen for us (fruit, yogurt, coffee, waters, etc.).  Access to a printer was a nice bonus for printing boarding passes for our flights out.  There are definitely some charming places in walking distance to grab a specialty coffee, breakfast and/or some groceries,  and some of the fun nightlife areas are not to far away ($3-4 Uber ride).  The beds in the 2/1 are not the most comfortable, but serve their purpose for a short visit.  "
3853145,30086753,2015-04-17,5476271,Beaudry,"Comfortable, spacious, clean and quiet - all round great value. The neighborhood has some awesome restaurants and is bikeable to downtown. Eric is a thoughtful and respectful host. Would definitely stay there again!"
3853145,30881305,2015-04-28,5469266,Leah,"What a great space to enjoy Austin in! The house was clean and prefect for our trip of 4. The location was close to great shops, restaurants, and bars, but far enough to have a soundless nights rest. Eric was a great host with clear communication and great recommendations. I would definey go  back "
3853145,32864446,2015-05-22,32933329,Ian,"Great cozy house, in a very nice area of town. Eric was very helpful and great at communicating with anything I needed.

Highly recommended! :-)"
3853145,33082710,2015-05-25,4149538,Jesus,"Great Austin location, we were only there for a weekend but we loved the neighborhood. Well maintained + a few beers in the fridge helped too. Great TV with all the works, although a bit overwhelming for a non techy such as myself."
3853145,36738738,2015-06-30,32827433,David,If it wasn't for Eric and his Amazing Service and House we wouldn't have been able to accomplish what we came to do in Austin seriously a Great house and Great Service 
3853145,41029054,2015-08-03,1118373,Jason,Great property on a quiet street! The house had everything you would need from laundry to WIFI! The beds were super comfy and the property is well taken care of! 
3853145,42083999,2015-08-10,27806327,Rebecca,"My friends and I very much enjoyed our stay here. Although Eric was traveling at the time, he was great at checking in and responding quickly. Great location - about a 5 minute ride to 6th street and close to lots of great places to eat. The house was clean, adorable, but most importantly had wifi. 

We will definitely be staying here the next time we are back in town! "
3853145,43596001,2015-08-20,36698395,Frank,On our way across the country we decided to stop into Austin last minute. Eric couldn't have more accommodating. We rolled up late and had to leave early but we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!
3853145,45226404,2015-08-31,27323525,Christina,"The listing description was right on target.  My 3 guests really enjoyed our stay at Eric's awesome home.  The location was so perfect and the house was clean, cute, and I felt totally comfortable there! Eric replied to me very quickly and even helped us out by letting us in early that day! I completely recommend Eric and his place!"
3853145,46179190,2015-09-08,41334220,Emily,My friends and I loved our stay at Eric's house. The accommodations were very true to the pictures and had just about every amenity you could want/need! The location was within walking distance to a good amount of restaurants/bars/food trucks in the area and is an easy uber ride to just about anywhere else. Would definitely stay again!
3853145,46982299,2015-09-14,43420221,Blake,"Eric was a great host. This house is perfect. The only complaint is that you can absolutely hear when someone is in the other room, so if you or your animals are sensitive to noise like ours were, that's something to think about! The pictures don't show It but there is a fenced in yard and our dogs loved it! It was a short walk to great restaurants and bars/uber drive to the stadium for game day! We will definitely be back to Austin and will definitely try to stay here again! Thank you Eric! "
3853145,48770049,2015-09-28,22026009,Allison,Eric was extremely helpful with advice and reaching out throughout our stay. 
3853145,49761511,2015-10-06,3311090,Andy,"The house was amazing and Eric was a great host.  The house was close enough to town to walk but far enough to avoid any noise.  Eric was there every time we reached out to him, the house was better than expected upon arrival.  Would absolutely recommend and am looking forward to renting from again!"
3853145,50624547,2015-10-13,3354085,Shaun,We had a great time staying at Eric's place. He was incredibly accommodating. His place was very clean and well furnished. 10/10
3853145,51172086,2015-10-18,32622708,Kelly,"I stayed at Eric's place with my husband and a couple of our friends for 3 nights.  Eric's place was just perfect for us!  He was so welcoming.  

A few days before our arrival he sent me and email with a list of recommended things to do in the area  (restaurants, nightlife, etc).  I know there is TripAdvisor and Yelp and such out there, but I really appreciated this extra step he took.  It was really nice to get an insider's perspective. 

The house itself was great.  The bed I slept on was actually so comfy that I had to ask him what brand it was so I could get one for myself (for real!).  There was a Keurig type coffeemaker which was super awesome along with the to-go containers he provided.  That made it easy to make a cup of coffee to take with us while exploring the city.  Plenty of things in the kitchen to use (pans, plates, utensils, etc.).

We got a good amount of use out of the Roku in the living room too.  We polished off a season of Food Truck Wars on Netflix during our stay :)

Also loved the porch!

There are fans in every room, so don't worry about ever feeling too hot.  I actually felt a bit chilly one night despite the 95 degree days we had

The neighborhood was quiet with an elementary school nearby, but still in walking distance (8-12 min) from some good eats.  You can get most everywhere in an Uber for $6-$10.

Eric stopped by a couple of times to see if there was anything we needed.  I thought that was really nice of him to do!

All in all it was a really great experience for our first stay with an AirBnB.  Thanks!!"
3853145,51442773,2015-10-20,10837067,Kate,"My experience in Eric's lovely home mirrors that of many others in this site. It was perfect for a group of us traveling for work. Plenty of space, clean, comfortable and welcoming. GREAT shower and incredibly comfortable bed. Slept so well this trip. 
The neighborhood is great fun -- many options for unique dining and shopping. 
Would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Austin. It is among the best AirBNB experiences that I've had."
3853145,51864026,2015-10-24,46977919,Jason,"Eric was an amazing host. He had customer service on his mind at all times and I was extremely impressed. The house was clean, beautiful and close to everything downtown. This will be one of my favorite spots for Austin."
3853145,52863341,2015-11-02,44878730,Rachel,"A wonderful two bedroom house located in very close proximity to downtown Austin and 6th street. Normally I have trouble sleeping in new places but this house makes you feel right at home! Eric, the host, also allows full access to the fridge, which includes a Brita filter (filtered water is a must have for me).   He also provides you with multiple suggestions as for places to eat and other local attractions. Very accommodating! "
7329686,39893279,2015-07-26,4314151,Candace,"Kenny couldn't have been hospitable, or his house any nicer. It's a real gem at a great location. The whole experience was excellent and I heartily recommend this awesome accommodation. The house itself is perfect, so well designed, and the comfy bed and cute bedroom were also great. It has its own newly-remodeled private bath. It's really perfect for an easy and convenient place to stay near downtown. the neighborhood itself is very cool, and we took Ubers back and forth to the city for about $6.00 each.

Kenny was very friendly and had lots of good tips about getting around, although we did just call Uber. He is very welcoming and relaxed, and his dog Brinkley is a cutie!

Really, this is a GREAT place - really enjoyed our night here!

7329686,40060781,2015-07-27,11780486,Emma,"We have a great time in Austin, the apartment is really well located close to nice shops, restaurants and bars.  The room was perfectly clean and the bathroom had everything you may need. Kenneth is a nice host, he gave us some nice addresses in the neighbourhood and was always very helpful. I would recommend him if you are looking for a quiet and small place to visit Austin. Thank you again!  "
7329686,41027744,2015-08-03,14822781,Jin,"The listing was accurate. It was a house in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown. The room as neat and clean. The bathroom appeared remodeled and new. Overall, the place and the stay met my expectations. "

7329686,49181421,2015-10-01,35531358,Handoko,"Stayed only for one night. But one would find it very hard to make complain about the place. I slept like a baby on the one night I stayed there and the room is beautiful. I just wished i could hangout with their dog much longer. It's just 5 min of an Uber ride away from the legendary Drafthouse Alamo as well as my fave place to eat in Austin, Odd Duck. "
7329686,49403201,2015-10-03,267216,Jimmy And Annabel,"Very nicely done older south Austin home. Very clean, very nice.  Bed is very very comfortable. Bathroom/shower spacious, updated. Nice yard.  A definite 100%. Will be on our list for visits. Brittney prfect host, Ken left before we got up. Oh, also super sweet dog."
7329686,51493552,2015-10-20,26268227,Dana,"Kenneth and Brittney both made us feel VERY welcome in their pretty home.   This was our first Airbnb experience and we enjoyed it so much that we will be using this service when we travel in the future.  The description on their profile was accurate and being so close to downtown was a plus.  The neighborhood is quaint with lots of local restaurants and businesses in walking distance.   We felt safe in the neighborhood too.  Our friendly hosts gave us insights into area restaurants and sights to see.  The full-size bed is really comfortable.  The bedroom and updated bathroom had plenty of storage space and were immaculate.  Plus, Brinkley is a sweet dog.  We would like to stay with Kenneth and Brittney the next time we return to Austin!"
7329686,52239229,2015-10-27,17602910,Ben,"Kenneth was a great host and has a very nice house in a convenient location. Close to a main street, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin. "
53482,549961,2011-09-20,910411,Tim,Sydney provided us with all the extras that we would not have expected. It was a fantastic experience!
53482,2613637,2012-10-15,3391321,Teresa,"We had a great weekend stay, house was very well furnished and beds were comfortable . Thank you Sydney for giving us a great house for ACL."
53482,20813221,2014-10-06,7654969,Jonathan,"Sydney’s home was perfect for ACL.  The house has plenty of room for two couples, and she made us feel very welcomed.  It is clean and comfortable, plus her house is about 1 mile away from the entrance of ACL. It only took us around 15 minutes to walk there.  Walking saved us from parking and traffic.  After the festival, we were exhausted, and the neighborhood is very calm and quiet, so we had plenty of rest for the next day!  We would definitely recommend Sydney’s residence.  Thank you!"
53482,22333939,2014-11-03,7156060,James,Sydney is a great host.  The house was clean and welcoming when I arrived and small details were plentiful: extra soaps and shampoos if you happen to forget them and extra clean towels just in case.  I would definitely stay here again.  
53482,28162391,2015-03-19,134873,Scott,"We had such a wonderful time in Sydney's beautiful mid-century home. The house is immaculate, appointed with mid-century furniture and fixtures, surrounded by a quiet garden, and a short drive to downtown Austin. Sydney was easy to communicate with, generous, and gracious. We would love to stay here again."
53482,50274155,2015-10-11,37302054,Tony,Everything was exactly as described. Place had a ton of character and Sydney was very responsive with answers for any questions we may have had. Thanks again!
6868830,50376323,2015-10-11,5357027,Johnny,"This was the perfect spot for my weekend at ACL.  It was within walking distance of Zilker (and the Greenbelt and Tacodeli), included parking, and Nicole even gave me and my friends a ride to drop us off as close as she could drive.  Nicole's home is clean and comfortable (some of the best pillows I've ever felt), and she went out of her way to make us feel welcome with complimentary coffee, toiletries, etc. I'd recommend Nicole's place to anyone planning a trip to Austin, even if it's not ACL weekend."

I enjoyed the comfy bed, my favorite was the super high pressure water in the shower; and just a quiet neighborhood, for sleeping in..  Ryan was a good host, he replies to messages quickly...  He is cool and really helpful.  "

Ryan's place was a perfect location for easily getting back and forth to the show without having to worry about finding a ride after the shows were over.  The neighborhood was quiet and the home was very comfortable.  Ryan was so easy to arrange the details with and so accommodating to our group!  He even left us snacks and drinks for the weekend.  Such a nice stay, would recommend to anyone traveling for ACL or any other Austin visit.  Hope we will be back sometime soon!  Thanks Ryan!"
359716,50442655,2015-10-12,25708328,Natasha,"The neighborhood was quiet, nice, filled with Austin feels and friendly neighbors. Ryan made me feel very welcome with a detailed note. The place was so organized and clean, you feel very relaxed to stay there. The assigned parking spot was awesome too!"
2447757,28126474,2015-03-18,9969028,Emma,Brennan and his family were wonderful hosts. We could not have asked for a better experience. The room and bathroom were immaculate and the mattress was deceptively comfortable.

5315643,27699151,2015-03-09,9842503,New,Veronica was very welcoming and the accommodations were as advertised. Location is a quick drive to downtown and within walking distance (under a mile) to a trail along the Colorado River. We had a great weekend. 
5315643,28474198,2015-03-24,26900457,Ashley,"My stay at Veronica's apartment was great. It's a perfect quiet space for a couple people. She was easy to reach and happy to help when we had questions before and during our stay. Also, It was great to have access to laundry and a pool. Thank you for everything!"
5315643,28954367,2015-04-01,24543950,Patricia,"Veronica's place was perfectly as advertised. Super clean and a convenient location. The apartment was quiet and peaceful and tastefully decorated. Plenty of space to for me and my bf to settle in for the week, cook breakfast and eat out on the balcony, and a comfy bed and couch for reading and resting after fun days out in the city. Veronica was quick to answer any of our questions and made our stay in Austin very easy. "
5315643,29927430,2015-04-14,26798341,Rachel,Really nice place! Perfect for our girls weekend. Easy to grab an Uber to downtown or the airport. Veronica responds quickly to questions and was a great host. 
5315643,30239130,2015-04-19,27073133,Dennis,Veronica was very nice and her apartment was perfect for what we needed on our road trip. It was very clean and was an excellent location to downtown Austin. Thanks Veronica!

5315643,36591268,2015-06-29,10140533,Jj,"Veronica's place was an excellent stay for us in Austin! Perfect location (5-10 min from most of what you'd want out of the city). Nearby laundromat, supermarket, liquor store, South Congress, East 6th, etc,etc..

Her apartment was very clean, spacious and had a great style. Her communication was excellent, checking in throughout the week if we needed anything. 

10/10 would recommend"
5315643,37515803,2015-07-07,2784291,Matt,"What a great little place in Austin! Veronica was very prompt in answering our questions and made check-in/check-out painless. It's located in a quiet neighborhood with parking everywhere, bus stops around the corner, a pool on the premises and a fully stocked kitchen! If you have any doubts about staying here, don't even worry about it. It was perfect for my need and I'm sure it would be perfect for someone else. One thing though - if you're coming to Austin and planning to rent a car - you may be better suited signing up with car2go. Those cars are literally all over Austin and provide a great alternative to pricey car rental or a sweaty walk to the bus stop in the Texas heat. Thanks for being so accommodating Veronica! You da best."

5315643,46027268,2015-09-07,2477055,Jeanne-Marie,This was our first time not meeting our host with AirBnB; a little hard to find.  The place was very comfortable and clean. The dog in the apartment below  barked one night until about 10:30 which wasn't a blast since I had a migraine.  We unfortunately had to change our plans twice to ultimately leave two days early due to my mother's illness.  It would've been great if she had refunded our money for both days instead of just one since it cost quite a bit to make the multiple changes during a difficult time for us.   So consider this when booking this property.
5315643,49900379,2015-10-07,5681830,Annie,Very welcoming hostess. Quick Uber/Lyft ride to your destination. 
2420168,21203706,2014-10-13,19529750,Natalia,"Rachel was very kind since the beginning, she gave us all the information that we request. Also she respond all our messages in less than we expected. 
The house, the neighboorhood and all the stuff inside was perfect. "
2420168,27764692,2015-03-11,1411365,Laura,Rachel was a really responsive and helpful host. We had a great time - the house is very spacious while also feeling cozy. The area is up and coming with easy access to downtown and lots of cool spots on the east side. 
2420168,28067545,2015-03-17,1744892,Brian + Caroline,"Rachel was an amazing host, super communicative and easy to work with. Their house is spacious, clean and in a great location in East Austin. We will likely be back next year for SxSW and would love to stay at Rachel's place again next year! "
2420168,29862733,2015-04-13,838432,Rebecca,"Rachel was very easy to communicate with in the lead up and during our stay, even though we didn't end up meeting. We really liked the feel of the house - is relaxed and has some really lovely furnishings. Is on a nice quiet street with a few cool places to hang/eat/drink within walking distance (local bar has a top jukebox!), and more lively East Austin and downtown is just a short drive/Uber away. "
2420168,30036373,2015-04-16,595991,Margot,"Rachel was in regular contact with us and made organising our trip very easy. The neighborhood is quiet and the backyard is huge! Well this is Texas... Rachel's home is artistic, quirky and comfortable. We loved the vibe and the art books! Austin is a laid-back pleasure.  You need a car or use Uber which we found economical, easy and always available. "
2420168,30801816,2015-04-27,30408785,Madeline,"We has such a wonderful time in Austin. The house had the perfect hint of artsy while still feeling extremely homey. The backyard is also HUGE! We didn't end up doing this, but all I wanted to do was sit out there and chat with a honking glass of vino. It also had a great gas stove, so for anyone who wants to rock some cooking, this house was perfect. 

The house itself is in a cute, little neighborhood and an easy 10-15 min drive/uber to downtown Austin. 

Rachel was awesome. Super helpful with any questions we had, but gave us space to enjoy our trip. We had a blast! Thanks so much!!!"
2420168,51936637,2015-10-25,1422695,Alexander,We loved the house and the neighborhood. Lots of very nice little touches and comfy beds. Enjoyed hanging out on the front porch. Rachel made us feel very welcome and was very communicative.
4068884,19507167,2014-09-13,16248364,Patty,"James was a great host! The room and apartment were both very nice, and James was very hospitable. The room and bathroom were both clean and comfortable... and the neighborhood in South Austin was perfect proximity to downtown.  I would stay again for sure "
4068884,19663861,2014-09-15,14934190,Victor,"James is a great host! I needed a place to sleep last minute and he was immediately responsive and accepted my reservation. His place is clean, comfortable and he has nice sheets ( a lot of places skimp on that). His place is maybe 200 feet from Summer Moon Coffee which has wood fire roasted coffee, it was the perfect place to get my caffeine fix on. Oh and his sweet old smiling dog was an added bonus. Really the perfect place to stay and so close to downtown, I would definitely stay again. "
4068884,19863115,2014-09-19,16867320,Sophie,"Logement super, propre, quartier très sympa et pas trop loin du centre ville d'Austin. Accueil très agréable, aidant, à l'écoute et plein de bons conseils."
4068884,19984671,2014-09-21,21151214,Jana,"The stay in James apartment was great - the flat is really nice, tidy, in good location and James is really friendly host. His dog Titan may scare you by his size, but he's really nice and you don't almost notice that he is around."
4068884,20391573,2014-09-28,21655694,Karla,James and Titan were great hosts to us for our weekend in Austin!  The location is close to downtown and just down the street from Summermoon Coffee and Torchy's Tacos =)  Our room was clean and comfortable and James was quick to respond to all of our questions.  Would definitely stay here again!
4068884,20593998,2014-10-01,20454999,Riley,Our stay with James was great! He was very helpful and informative. The place  clean and was located within walking distance to some good restaurants and bars and also right next to a bus stop that went downtown. I would definitely stay here again with James and his big friendly dog Titan :)
4068884,20628357,2014-10-02,2172771,Mark,"James' place was great. Clean, spacious, and with a lot of thoughtful amenities. The blackout curtains are a great touch!

Additionally, James was nice enough to give me a ride somewhere I needed to go, since I was carless in town."
4068884,21294202,2014-10-14,20770977,Jason,Great host! The location was great and the room provided exceeded my expectations. This was my first Airbnb experience and it turned out so well!
4068884,22039632,2014-10-28,18294677,Cynthia,"James was a wonderful host and made me feel perfectly comfortable. His place was in a perfect location.  Titan was a graceous host, too."
4068884,22340289,2014-11-03,21285589,Alex,"Such a fantastic AirBnB experience in Austin with James. Great neighborhood, plenty of parking and quite possibly the most comfortable bed ever. Always greeted warmly at the door by Titan the dog as well. Would definitely love to stay here again the next time I am in town. "
4068884,22606081,2014-11-10,1568332,Ellen,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and James was a wonderful host! His place is clean, the bed is comfortable, and the blackout curtains are awesome. James is super friendly and helpful when needed, but he also lets you do your own thing. The location is great - I caught the 10 bus to Auditorium Shores each day for only $1! Plus, Torchy's Tacos is only a few blocks away, so you can't really go wrong. Titan is a huge dog, but he's very well-behaved and friendly. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again!"
4068884,22999676,2014-11-19,1417829,Lara,"We felt welcome at James's apartment the moment we walked in. Very neat, tidy and minimal living space. By far the most comfy bed I've slept in so far during my Airbnb travels, and also one of the best bathrooms! Titan was also the best animal companion I've had the pleasure of staying with. Soooo sweet. I'm in the process of moving to Austin so I have kept in touch on-and-off with James who has offered some good insight as to cool areas of town to look for rentals. Overall, great stay, and if I'm being honest, I still kind of miss Titan... :)"
4068884,23564498,2014-12-04,24343027,Christopher,"What a great place to stay! James was there when we showed up and made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room is exactly as described and exactly as the photos depicted it. VERY clean and a great central location to downtown (approximately a 10 minute drive from 6th) and about the same to Riverside. James was kind enough to even have miscellaneous amenities and toiletries in the (very clean) bathroom.  For our first AirBnB experience, James knocked it out of the park. We can't wait to stay there again! "
4068884,23613395,2014-12-06,17347769,Juliana,"My boyfriend and I had our first Airbnb experience, and it was phenomenal. James is a very sweet guy, with a very sweet dog. His place is in the best location, with tons of places to eat and explore. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're coming to town. It was our first time in Austin, and James was helpful and answered any questions we had. 
And let me tell ya, the other reviews about the bed being comfortable are SO right. Better than any hotel bed I've slept in. Best blackout curtains ever too!
I couldn't have asked for a better time, really. Thank you James."
4068884,23796076,2014-12-10,24068760,Martin,"James was an excellent host and the communication before and during our stay was fantastic. The space was clean and welcoming and Titan is a great dog, big but welcoming and has a nice manner about him. The space was clean and the bed was super comfy. Great location for the bus down the road to to South Congress for a doller. The maps and info board was handy as well.  would highly recommend staying with James if you are in Austin"
4068884,23881783,2014-12-13,13547402,Bonny,"James and his dog were both very warm and welcoming. Location was convenient and easy to find. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, and James even had a tray of extra toiletries ready for guests in case we forgot anything. The main issue I had was that the bed was too soft for me; I sleep a lot better on firm mattresses. All in all, James was a great host and the price was very affordable."
4068884,24398405,2014-12-27,2704276,Arlene,"This was by far the best room I've stayed in while using airbnb 
Very comfortable setting and only minutes away from downtown and places to eat. Highly recommend this and will definitely stay again very soon"
4068884,25181259,2015-01-08,5910627,Georgia,"As an experienced ""airBnB'er"", let me tell why you should look no further and book this now: James is the kindest gem of a host you can find --he communicates quickly and clearly and is very helpful with all kinds of questions and made me feel like a very welcome guest. Feeling secure like that means a lot to me because traveling as a single gal can be worrisome - but this is the guy to stay with ladies (and chaps) if you have any concerns. Coordinating with him was a breeze, super easy and I felt very respected and safe. On top of that, can you say location?! His beautifully spotless comfy bed and abode you will land in is so conveniently situated to cool funky Austin scenes and is close to getting anywhere. I could walk to coffee shops, thrift stores and other charming Austin spots. I plan to book his place again!"
4068884,25364048,2015-01-13,10791241,Mathieu,"Wonderful stay, James was very welcoming and open to our schedule. The room is exactly as described in the picture. The apartment is clean and pretty well situated, close to cool and hip neighborhoods. Titan the dog is super friendly so don't be afraid. We definitely recommend this place."
4068884,25777426,2015-01-25,15677952,Troy,"James was a great host.  He gave us ideas of restaurants within walking distance.  The area where he lives is on of the ""up and coming"" areas of Austin and was pretty lively.   The house was very clean.  The shared bathroom was not an issue and we felt very comfortable and enjoyed the stay.  His dog, Titan, barks once when you open the door then lays back down happy.   There are other dogs in the complex and sometimes when they barked he would join in however he never barked during the night.  There can be a bit of noise from the street and as we were early to bed sometimes we could hear the neighbors upstairs walking.  Overall we were very happy and plan on staying with him again.  Thanks James!"
4068884,26194277,2015-02-06,731115,Tyler,James was a very cordial and engaged host. His place is great for the price that he offers in terms of location. He was very quick to suggest things to do around Austin.
4068884,26404741,2015-02-11,27158538,Drew,"James was a great host. Extremely accommodating. He had some tips on things to see. He made it feel comfortable to do your own thing as well as good company if you wanted to chat. The room and bed was extremely nice. The location was great as well, very convenient to get to downtown by bus. The neighborhood was very trendy as well. I would definitely recommend him and his place. It was a very ideal situation for me, being someone who has never been to Austin and mainly just needed a place to sleep. I believe it was a good price as well. I would stay here again. "
4068884,26612221,2015-02-16,2009943,Zak,We had a great stay at James' place in February over a long weekend. His apartment is comfortable (especially the bed!) and he's a spectacular guy. The location was great for exploring South Congress. Thanks!
4068884,26962476,2015-02-22,25946070,Kimmo,"Our experience was great. We arrived in the morning before our scheduled check-in time. James had gone out of his way to make sure the room was tip-top. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable - everything neat and clean. Titan was a really chill fella. The apartment itself was conveniently located a short busride away from downtown. Though we didn't see much of James, as he was out of town for most of our stay, he made sure we had everything we needed. Great host. Would stay here again."
4068884,27266810,2015-03-01,25521392,Sarah,"We just left our stay with James and Titan, and our first Airbnb experience. We could not be happier. The location was great and centrally located, the space clean and nice with a super comfy room and bed. James is warm and kind and Titan is a great big love. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Austin, and highly recommend you do too."
4068884,27507959,2015-03-06,2782556,Ben,"Very comfortable, well prepped and accommodating.  Also an adorable pooch!  "
4068884,27662503,2015-03-09,11413076,Selestria And Stephen,A great host. As a host I know what I expect from another host and he surpassed it he was supper friendly and the house was spotless. Titan was an incredibly well behaved dog and the bed was super comfy. Next time I'm in austin I would love to stay here again.
4068884,28078576,2015-03-17,5431607,Alice,"James's place was spot on. 
He was very friendly and welcoming, and the house is extremely comfortable and clean.
The location was convenient as you can get a bus straight into downtown very quickly.
Also Titian was a fantastic host...so cute!
Thanks James & Titian, would heartily recommend you both for anyone wanting to stay in fabulous Austin."
4068884,28302705,2015-03-22,24599722,Mike,"James made me feel welcomed and was very helpful, the room was very comfortable, I slept 10 hours the first night. I was in town for SXSW and it was a nice escape from the crazy crowds closer to town, I used the CapMetro rapid bus from the nearby St. Edwards stop on Congress to quickly get to and from events downtown. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and morning walks to Summermoon Coffee and Torchy's Tacos. "
4068884,28676287,2015-03-28,28937036,Scott,"The house is as pictured and is spacious enough to fit two people. It is in a great location and the city is easily accessible through public transport. 

We did not have much interaction with James but we were able to figure out most things for ourselves. "
4068884,29354444,2015-04-06,9862831,Daivat,"James made us feel at home from the time we checked in. The bed room, bathroom and the apartment were spotless. The apartment is centrally located close to downtown with Torchy's Taco's only a few blocks away. James also had the bedroom and bathroom fully stocked with the stuff you would need during the stay. 

Titan (the Lab) is extremely friendly and greets you whenever you step in or out of the apartment.

I highly recommend this unit and when you are there, make sure to check out Torchy's Tacos, Amy's Ice Cream, Baldwin Creek Cafe. They all are located within 5 minutes drive from the apartment. "
4068884,29937509,2015-04-14,18681054,Allison,James is a great guy and host. His place is exactly as pictured and is in an AWESOME location- close to everything we wanted to do. Titan was awesome as well. I would definitely suggest staying here if you need a place to sleep in a great location- bedroom is nice size and very comfy bed. Utilized the closet space too which was helpful!
4068884,30403948,2015-04-21,2902326,Robin,"We had a great time staying with James. Since we'll be moving to Austin this summer, the trip was a mix of fun + apartment scouting. His place was clean, easy to find, and close to lots of great local spots. James himself is a great guy, super welcoming and we highly recommend staying with him!"
4068884,30816572,2015-04-27,18448449,Chris,James was very hospitable and his place was perfect for a first stay in Austin!
4068884,31820761,2015-05-10,24049195,Anny,"James is really kind and helpful! The room is quite comfortable and clean! Jame's place is definitely a great place worth to stay in Austin with a friendly and cute Titan greeting you at the cozy  house too! The location is pretty convenient to get to downtown! There is one bus stop right close to the house,easy to explore the amazing city via public transportation with cheap price! A terrific experience at Jame's house! Will stay here again if have a chance to visit Austin next time for sure!"
4068884,32441779,2015-05-17,22215210,Sarah,James is an AWESOME host. I immediately felt after meeting James that I had made a new friend. He really thought of everything when creating the space for his guests. The Austin guidebook in the bedroom and the bathroom essentials were both a nice touch. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of closet space as well. The place is very clean and quiet. It's also in the perfect location for anyone wanting to explore Austin's hip south side. I will definitely be staying here again. :)
4068884,33120823,2015-05-25,12456182,Clay,"James is a great host, Titan  loyal companion, and the location perfect for enjoying Austin. "
4068884,33751590,2015-05-31,1231759,Charles,"We showed up an hour early and James was worried it was messy but it was still awesome. The room is exactly as advertised. He provides towels, an iron, and toiletries. I only used the shampoo of the toiletries. Although my girlfriend remarked that it was nice that a male host sprung for and provided the, ""nice tampons,"" instead of the cheap kind that are usually given out for free. James was super friendly and Titan was a big 'ol teddy bear. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend."
4068884,34557024,2015-06-09,579702,Jessica,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at this place with James! When we got there he was nice enough to come outside and make sure we were in the right place. The room was just wonderful! The bed was REALLY comfortable and I slept great every night that we were there! He was nice enough to provide drinking water and allow us to keep some things in the fridge. There was room in the closet to put our things, and the bathroom was right next to the room with no problem using it. The ac was on while we stayed, and the ceiling fan was a nice option as well. His dog is very nice, I usually don't like big dogs, but had no problem with this one! I would highly recommend this option when staying in Austin. Everything was very conveniently located! "
4068884,35315921,2015-06-17,2968417,Jackie,"James was a great host with lots of southern hospitality. He went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations! He made great recommendations and was easily accessible by text message. I host as well and I will be taking some ideas from him including the little space for toiletries forgotten by guests. The room was exactly as shown. Plenty of closet space. No chest of drawers, but there is a hanging canvas cubicle thingy. The neighborhood is nice and there's a cute coffee place within walking distance. Torchy's Tacos is close by too and the staff is really friendly. 

Titan was so friendly and cute. I felt safe with him around :) "
4068884,36418147,2015-06-28,6856806,Jenny,"James was a fantastic host who made every effort to ensure I had what I needed, and that I was a happy guest. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. It's also wonderful to come 'home' to a dog every time I walked in the door! The location is right around the corner from Summermoon, a terrific and not-to-be-missed coffee spot, and is definitely in what you'd call South Austin. Plenty of parking, air conditioning, and a big cozy bed. Oh, and the wifi is fast and available. "
4068884,37500651,2015-07-07,5042268,Kate,"Great experience! James was very accommodating. The apartment was lovely and the bed was comfortable. James provides plenty of amenities in case you forgot something in your travels. The place is located in a lovely neighborhood, easy to get to many neighborhoods in Austin, and plenty of Car2gos nearby. Titan is a super sweet dog and we also met an adorable neighborhood kitten during our stay. I would absolutely stay here again. "
4068884,38233145,2015-07-13,1913143,Tim,"Great and clean room, nice location in South Austin, James is really nice and everything was great ! I would definitely go back to stay there !"
4068884,38973155,2015-07-19,38828689,Mitch,My first time using AirBnB and it was a great experience. James gave us great advice on what to do in the City and we had plenty of privacy. He also had a five gallon dispenser of cold water that we used to fill our water bottles ... Great for the Texas heat. Quick drive to Barton Springs with plenty of restaurants in that area. 
4068884,39855515,2015-07-26,9796091,Kat,We loved James and his place! He was super chill and made us feel very comfortable. I don't like dogs and I liked his dog so that's saying alot. Internet was great and the place was very well air conditioned. We would come back anytime! Thank you! 
4068884,40186674,2015-07-28,5003143,Riku,James is one maybe the friendliest AirBnB host I have had the pleasure to stay with. He accommodated our last minute request and provided my girlfriend and I with amazing hospitality. The bed was comfy and the location was great.
4068884,41045651,2015-08-03,16951586,Loulou,"James was so easygoing! We were unsure of our arrival time, so he set aside a key for us to let ourselves in and make ourselves at home. Our check out time was equally ambiguous, and James accommodated our disorganised plans! We were free to help ourselves to the beer in the fridge and water, and Titan the dog welcomed us warmly. Also, he left us delicious chocolates on the bed. The area was accurately described. A really fun location. We were at the Summer moon cafe every morning for breakfast! "
4068884,41896090,2015-08-09,8109913,Olga,"James was an incredible host. Not only did he accept our request very last minute, he also provided us with great coffee in the morning. Titan (the dog) was absolutely adorable and we were very sad to say goodbye. I highly recommend James!"
4068884,45047883,2015-08-30,16037415,Nico,"I requested a one-night stay at James's place very last minute. Even though James wasn't able to meet me when I got in, he was very communicative and helpful in making sure I got in ok. Neighborhood is quiet and I felt safe. "
4068884,45878605,2015-09-06,11488114,Cecilia,My fiancé and wanted to get away for the Labor Day weekend and were only able to because James's place was so affordable. James was an excellent host all around. The room looks exactly like it does in the picture. The whole apartment was very tidy and clean and Titan was so well behaved! We loved the location and spent most of our time around South Congress and Rainey Street. We could not have asked for a better value for our money. We will definitely be staying with James again the next time we need a place in Austin!
4068884,46983937,2015-09-14,43373387,Ashley,"James was very thorough in preparation for our stay at his lovely apartment. Responds quickly and is very easy to talk to with great recommendations and funny stories. Location was great too! About a block away from a great coffee shop to help wake up in the mornings. And Titan, his dog, was a ham! Loved our stay here. "
4068884,47814642,2015-09-21,36661907,Daniela,"Great experience! James is very friendly, his house manual is very clear, and the bedroom/bathroom were very clean. Titan, James' dog, was also super sweet!"
4068884,48821225,2015-09-28,18359554,Amanda,"James was a great host! The guest bedroom was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. We appreciated closet space to hang our clothes and an organizer in the closet for our folded clothes. James happily shared his common areas and offered gallon water, beer, and wine. My husband, who often travels toiletry-light, particularly appreciated the toiletries stocked in the bathroom for guests. James was very friendly, and I felt safe and welcome at his place. Titan was a fun addition, too! He's a very sweet dog and was very comfortable with guests, even when James was not around."
4068884,49353517,2015-10-03,43404250,Kyle,"James was a fantastic host. We were a little nervous as this was our first Airbnb experience but that dissipated immediately as he made us feel incredibly welcome. The place was really easy to find, and after Titan had greeted us, we were able to make not only the room, but the apartment our home for four days. The room is exactly as pictured and James even left us a gift bag full of useful things for our stay, which was a very generous gesture!

The local area is quaint and has a really nice feel to it. From quirky coffee shops to authentic eateries, everything you need is within a 5 minute radius. South Congress and South 1st are the two adjacent streets and just happen to be two of the most vibrant routes into Downtown Austin. We walked the length of South Congress and were amazed by the plethora of bazaar-inspired shops, famous blues clubs and quality food trailers/locally owned establishments. The whole atmosphere of the place is special!

The apartment is a quick 5 minute Uber/Taxi ride away from Downtown, a pretty perfect location as the city is thoroughly accessible, but just outside the noisiest districts. It provided us with the perfect base to explore Austin's renowned status as the 'live music capital of the world'. The city didn't disappoint on this front and we saw some great live performances whilst in town. 

James made our visit to Austin really comfortable, and by using his apartment we were able to stay in a very nice area of South Austin, for a very reasonable price, whilst maintaining/exceeding the level of hospitality you would expect from a conventional hotel. In addition, the home touches are what sets this place apart. Titan is one of the friendliest, most docile dogs we've ever met and as a dog owner it was a pleasure to be greeted by him every day! It was brilliant to have him around.

James was also really flexible in terms of check-in and check-out arrangements. Great communication and clear instructions meant that we were able to locate the place and let ourselves in. Once back at the apartment, James made every effort to make us feel welcome but simultaneously gave us the space we needed to feel comfortable in his home. On check-out, James also let us leave our bags so we could make the most of our final day in town without lugging our cases around. Overall a really great experience and we wouldn't hesitate to stay at James'/ Titan's place again!

For anybody thinking about heading to Austin, you definitely should! It's a wonderfully laid-back city with plenty to offer on all fronts. We only wish we'd booked to spend more time in Texas! For those already decided, if James' place is available, get it booked whilst you can, you'll get an authentic Texan experience just like we did!

"
4068884,50389133,2015-10-11,5028361,Christina,"James was able to accommodate my request super last minute - I was literally on the plane to Austin while communicating with him and booking the room! He was quick to respond and welcomed me into his home despite my 1am arrival time. The description of the room, his home and the neighborhood was very accurate.  During my week-long stay, he gave my partner and I great tips regarding the area.  I was in town for a mix of both work and fun so it was quite lovely to stay at such a quiet and comfortable place.  My partner and I were able to get everywhere we needed to go via taxi cabs or Uber as James' place is close to everything.  

Also, James knew that we were in town for the Austin City Limits music festival so the night before the festival started, he gave us a goodie bag full of festival necessities - sunscreen, bottled water, snacks and even ponchos because the weather forecast indicated it might rain!  It was such an incredibly thoughtful gesture! It was my first time using Airbnb - I've always had reservations about using it but because my experience staying with James was so amazing, I would definitely use Airbnb again. And if I'm ever in Austin again, I will definitely book James' place.

Oh, and his pup Titan was the sweetest, most well-behaved dog imaginable. James is a wonderful host - you won't be disappointed!"
4068884,51362070,2015-10-19,45765960,Sarah,"James was there to meet us when we arrived and was very welcoming.  The room and bathroom were clean and had a lot of nice touches like an iron and ironing board in the closet.   

The apartment was in a great location.   We just Ubered everywhere in the city and the rides were short and cheap - $15-$20 to and from the airport and $5-$10 to get to downtown or Barton Springs area. 

 Titan was a sweetheart - I'm not much of a dog person, but he was gentle and quiet."
4068884,51597202,2015-10-21,1326320,Danielle,"James is awesome. His place is super comfortable and really easy. If you are looking for a private room option in Austin, you've found it. Not sure why anyone would pay more. James has this down. AND his dog is ridiculously darling. THANKS JAMES! You rock."
4216130,50643276,2015-10-13,42427264,Scott,"The ""TreeHouse"" near Zilker Park was exactly as represented on the website.  The location was great for access to ACL Music Festival and we could hear the music from the venue the minute we stepped outside or opened the sliding glass door.  Gustavo was a gracious host and made us fell welcome."
3509436,29885818,2015-04-13,29691531,Robert,"This was my first Airbnb stay, and I have to say it was a great experience! The place was extremely clean and cozy, hosting all of the features shown and described.  The decor was my favorite part of the apartment!  Tiffany was also an amazing host, alerting us when we left, not one, but 3 items in the apartment after checking out. She helped return all of the items within a day.  I know this is where I'll stay next time I travel to Austin! "
3509436,33378376,2015-05-27,31557772,Diane,"Apartment is bright, airy, well-equipped,  comfortable, and convenient to shopping and transportation--a delightful stay and I would happily stay there again. "
3509436,36797249,2015-07-01,17498002,Lauren,"My stay in the garage apartment was great! Tiffany stayed in contact with me during my stay via email. ""Moving in"" was a breeze, as she sent detailed instructions about how to access the apartment. She's written a great ""intro sheet"" about the area and local restaurants. 

The apartment is sylish, just as the photos portray, and I was so happy to find that the apartment has a washer and dryer!

The location is great! Very walkable to restaurants and shopping, but still in a quiet neighborhood that's great for a jog. "
3509436,45483356,2015-09-03,39346539,Belen,"This little apartment worked out great for me.  I rented it for a month while I was doing business in Austin.  The location is great, lots of restaurants and shopping nearby, including the best margarita I have had in a long time at the Mexican restaurant next door! I felt very safe in the neighborhood and liked everything about where I was.  I will stay here again anytime I return to Austin.  Thanks Tiffany!"
3509436,46211343,2015-09-08,5284012,Lindsey,"We had a great time at Tiffany's place! The space is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, and in a cool, easily accessible neighborhood. Our host was super communicative and always responded quickly to questions, and checked in to make sure we were settling in. I'd highly recommend this cute, convenient apartment!"
3509436,48871701,2015-09-29,31557772,Diane,"Comfortable, quiet, and convenient! This is a great apartment for anyone visiting the Crestview/North Austin area. Great apartment and great host."
3509436,49815195,2015-10-06,21286805,Eric,"Awesome place! Very clean, with lots of great food & fun within walking distance. Tiffany was fast to respond to all of my questions. "
3509436,50489689,2015-10-12,43802590,Vatche,"The place is exactly as advertised. It's a terrific layout with separation between the sleeping and common areas that makes it feel bigger. Amenities are robust, with full kitchen and stacked laundry. Everything is newly remodeled, nicely laid out and thoughtfully assembled. 

The neighborhood is residential and abuts a commercial street. I didn't find it to be an issue. 

Tiffany is a wonderful host. She is responsive and helpful. I would look forward to staying here again, especially for a longer stay. "
3509436,51558274,2015-10-21,43040425,Alec,"Tiffany's place is great. Everything is nice, new, and clean. We had a wonderful time staying here and Tiffany made it very easy. Would stay again."

6270894,36785885,2015-07-01,33505584,Mustafa,"If you are new to Austin Martin is your guy to show you around and connect you with new friends and business leads. My room was clean and comfortably and I had my own bathroom with weekly cleaning service. I've meet awesome people during my stay with Martin, so again if you don't have friends in town it's a good spot to find cool people to hang out with. Martin is very social and friendly and he try to make residents feel home by hosting Sunday family dinner and invite people from other communities as well. All in all it was a good place to stay and good place to meet great people. Thank you Martin! "

7901444,51349607,2015-10-19,19392339,Julia,Ashley made us feel very welcome and was very quick to respond. The apartment was well decorated and comfortable. At first I thought I was in the wrong apartment because it didn't look exactly like the pictures but it was still nice. The location was perfect and within walking distance to Zilker Park and not far from most of Austin's popular attractions. We had a great time!
6334297,49660905,2015-10-05,30664642,Jenna,"Wonderful hosts! They are friendly and made us feel very welcomed. Awesome location near Zilker park, easy walk. "

6334297,51924499,2015-10-25,43792965,Michael,"While I didn't get to see Lauren during my trip, she frequently communicated with me to make sure I had everything and was comfortable. She also left me a great welcome package with instructions, snacks, and guides – I couldn't have been happier.

The house is *really* beautiful and in a really great spot – it's away from the street noise and only a short walk to downtown. I can't stress enough just how comfortable Lauren's home felt.

The listing is right to say that Grace, the cat, thinks the house belongs to her and that's part of her charm – she's super cute and friendly! If only I could take her with me..."

Libby (Kevin's property manager) was so nice and available for any doubt.. The neighborhood was real nice, 10 min from downtown. Totally recommended."

The surrounding area was nice as well. Only a 5 minute walk to Rainy Street, where there were lots of bands and great food!

I would come back again and invite another large group to join!"
6238933,38850775,2015-07-19,34078328,Ryan,"Sarah and Steve did a very nice job of laying out all of the necessaries prior to the visit in one concise e-mail.  We had absolutely no problem getting in and getting settled.  We had a package we were waiting for and they even brought it in for us, so it was ready when we got there.  We needed an extension cord for the lights on the patio and they brought it out for us really quickly, which we appreciated.  Great location to walk to Rainey St. and White Horse, easy access off of I-35 and a wonderful experience."
6238933,39760405,2015-07-26,33240310,Randy,"The house was perfect for our trip. We had 11 guys staying for a bachelor party. It was close to lots of fun stuff, such as Rainey street.

6238933,40751124,2015-08-02,35292348,David,"Great location and very accommodating. This home was perfect for our rather large group (11 people) and is a close walk to some very cool Austin spots for food, bars, and sightseeing. A very short ride to the airport also made this a great place to stay if you are interested in exploring east Austin!"
6238933,42855403,2015-08-16,5514529,Thomas,The house was fantastic. There were plenty of beds for our large reservation and the house was right outside of downtown.
6238933,43932137,2015-08-23,34393319,Steve,"Had a great experimence staying at Pick Yer Fillin. The house was exactly as described. Sarah and Steve were very helpful and attentive hosts. We had a large group stay there and they easily facilitated it with plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, etc. without even having to ask. They were upfront and clear about their house rules and communicated early and often, which was great as this was my first time using Airbnb.  

As for the house, the location is ideal; close enough to Austin nightlife and restaurants that you can walk but far enough that noise isn't a problem. And the house was perfect for our group. Clean but not stuffy. Great backyard with porch to chill on. Can't say enough about how good of an experience we had. If I come back to Austin, I'm definitely looking this up again."
6238933,44958463,2015-08-30,40075480,Jake,"Wonderful house, with very cute decor. The place was very neat and tidy, and well-stocked with household essentials. Easy walk to nightlife, parks, food, etc. My group was very pleased with our decision to stay here."

6238933,48499441,2015-09-27,33370841,Andrew,Sarah and Steve were great hosts. The house is in a great location for everything we wanted to do. Love the outdoor deck for hanging out when the weather is nice. Highly recommend for large groups that want to be close the action!
6238933,49445757,2015-10-04,5091775,Linda,"Hosts were very nice, they accommodated our early check in and was kind enough to check in on us during the weekend via email. 

The location is in a very hip neighborhood. The home was okay. The outdoor patio was a great use of space but it did feel a bit unkept and some of the linen felt like they haven't been used or clean for awhile. Also to get to the second unit, you do have to go outside and up.

We provided the above feedback and the host were very nice about it and said they will make improvements. "
6238933,51117793,2015-10-18,2512681,Ben,"Sarah and Steve were great hosts.  The place was clean and ready for us; and they accommodated an early bag-drop.  The location can't be beaten - close to Rainey St., downtown, East Austin.  The outdoor deck is a great feature; and the house was comfortable and suited our needs.  We had 12 people in our group and everyone had a place to sleep.  Any more than that, though, would have been a squeeze.  Overall, we had an excellent experience.  "
5074354,28169211,2015-03-19,27219173,Gemma,"Really hospitable host, very comfy bed, large room. Was provided with towels, blankets, water bottle for being out and about, hairdryer..the list goes on! Photos don't really do the room justice. Other roommates lovely and had great chats with them all - highly recommend. "

There's a wonderful park across the street with a playground and basketball court. It's about a 20 minute walk to 6th & Congress, and 5 minutes from the closest B-cycle station. 

The hosts were very communicative and helpful throughout the entire process. Would recommend this place to anybody coming to Austin!"
2038595,12015452,2014-04-21,10284845,Tiffany,"I had such a wonderful stay here. The condo is just as pictured! Wonderful views of downtown Austin, a spacious living room, a large kitchen area, and two large bedrooms with their own private bathrooms! The condo is centrally located, we were able to walk everywhere for tourist activities and plenty of restaurants nearby. We also were able to swim at the rooftop pool which was amazing, it overlooked Town Lake! Also, Bethany, the host was so quick to reply, via phone or text to any questions we had. I would highly recommend this condo!"
2038595,12270603,2014-04-28,11663154,Elisabeth,"My friends and I had such a great time staying at Bethany's place. The apartment is well decorated and has everything you might need during your stay whether it's cups, towels, toiletries or blankets. There was more than enough room for the seven of us, even with all the luggage we brought!

The condo is centrally located and close to everything! We were able to go out to the bars, shop, go kayaking and enjoy the rooftop pool. Bethany was a very gracious host and was very easy to contact via phone or text to any question we had! "
2038595,12896902,2014-05-13,9021400,Daniel,"This apartment is stunning.  It has great views of the city through the huge windows and a nice balcony.  The apartment has a modern design and all the amenities you would need.  The location was great, only a few blocks to 6th St. bars and restaurants.  Taxis were also easy to get as you are right downtown.  The condo is also only a few blocks from Ladybird Lake which was a great place to run in the morning.  

Our group was made up of all guys (late 20’s/early 30’s) coming into Austin (mostly from Baltimore) just to check out the music scene and see the city and this apartment worked perfectly for us.  

Bethany is a great host.  She is friendly and very responsive.  Her friend Susanna who met us at the building was also very welcoming and helpful. 
  
Thanks again for sharing your place with us.

Location was the best we were walking distance to everything. We parked the car and didn't use it the entire weekend. Bethany was so friendly, kind and helpful. Would highly recommend staying here. "
2038595,38993579,2015-07-20,31307861,Amrita,Bethany was such a great host. The condo has everything we needed for a party of 7. The apartment is walking distance to a lot of cute restaurants and the W. The best parts would definitely be the views and the pool. 
2038595,43089010,2015-08-17,10363539,Rachael,"If you are going to Austin and need a place to stay, The Ashton is the place to do it! Trust me. Bethany was so fantastic! She left a binder out with recommendations of where to go, what to see, what to eat! Regarding her place, it's just stunning as the pictures show. Fantastic views, great pool/hot tub, and in the perfect area. I would 100% stay here again. It was a trip that my friends and I will not forget. Thank you Bethany!  You made my birthday extra special with your gorgeous home."

The living room set up is even better than the pictures and the main room was perfect for us to hang out.  The beds were comfortable and the shower was nice and strong (those are the two most important things for me when traveling.  I'd strongly recommend her place and hope to stay again the next time I'm in Austin."
1802053,10918170,2014-03-13,4758793,Mea,"There's only one word for Jennifer's house - AMAZING.  It is so beautiful, spacious, relaxing, and centrally located.  I could not have asked for a better experience in Austin.  We were SO lucky to be able to stay there.  The neighbourhood was quiet, there's a lovely cafe down the road, and the bikes were a great addition.  "
1802053,11008955,2014-03-17,8725260,Sam,"Jennifer was extremely helpful and always replied very quickly to emails. 

The house was really enjoyed by the guests and they would all use again. Highly recommended. 

"
1802053,15783793,2014-07-15,4578768,Amber,"Members of my immediate and extended family and I stayed at Jennifer's house for a family event for several days.  The house was PERFECT for the group.  The rooms are large, the backyard and porches are wonderful places to hang out, and the decor is awesome.  My favorite part of the house is the huge kitchen and family-style wooden table surrounded by huge windows overlooking the backyard.      "
1802053,16179589,2014-07-22,12610836,Jessica,"Me and my friends really enjoyed the Fisterra Studio Art House. The art, style, furniture, everything  is the epitome of Austin. It is a great place to stay with a group of friends as the layout of the house is really unique. There are three bedrooms - one of which is strictly for kids that I wouldn't recommend for adults. The second bedroom no longer has a full size bed but rather a mattress on the floor, but that did not bother us too much as it was comfortable and we all slept great. The neighborhood is in a great location - easy to walk to clubs, restaurants and bars.  The only thing I wish we did was stay longer to utilize the bikes, canoes, kayaks. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this place for a great Austin experience. Thank you Jennifer and Eunice! "
1802053,24755847,2015-01-02,8820307,Suzan,This is a fun and comfortable house. We loved the art scattered throughout the rooms and the comfortable gathering areas. There is a new sleeper couch that my daughter said was super comfy!

1751368,8013053,2013-10-12,3215476,Keith,"If you don't read the rest of this review, read this: the listing on here is new but Tony is quickly going to get more reviews just like this. You can't help but want to be around and enjoy the relaxing environment he creates, and I truly feel like I got the best of both worlds: business in Austin and a small vacation whenever we got done! Book this property. Stop wondering if you should, and do it. You'll thank me (and Tony!) later for the advice!

Tony was an amazing host. There's no where else I'll be staying in Austin if I can help it from now on. He gave us everything we needed (even after forgetting a few items, he had spares ready for just that occasion). Tony truly does have the ""host gene""! 

The first morning we were there, he fed the whole house with a massive breakfast of strawberry and blueberry pancakes, grapes, orange juice, and a delicious omelette. Talk about a great first morning in the AirBnB!

Every day when we'd get back to the home, Tony was working in his studio or ready to talk and relax with us. And by the way, I didn't even want to take a picture of his studio. It would pale in comparison to the real thing. It's like you look around and everything Tony is thinking of creating or is inspired by or has created, it's on every square inch available. It is a real sight to behold. 

Both of my staff loved the rooms (his daughter's room was amazing too!), and I stayed in the outdoor bungalow (4 nights). It was quite comfy, fully insulated, private and had a lock on the door if I needed it. 

The backyard is another sight to behold, as Tony keeps a HUGE, happy and friendly giant tortoise that likes banana peels and other treats. I got to see her on the last day I was there as I was leaving, but she had a small home in the backyard that I peeked in on several times. As well, there are two great seating areas, one on the deck, one in the backyard. 

You couldn't ask for a better combination of price, location, and host. My hunch is that this listing will skyrocket to your favorites in Austin sooner than later. If you're on the fence about the decision, don't be. 

Tony and his home was a welcoming place to land after the flurry of activity during the day.  

As well, he gave us 16GB of his favorite mixes for the road trip home on a USB drive. So ask him about his mixes :)

"
1751368,8440152,2013-10-30,2380648,Jase,"Tony's great!
Even though it's not the ""Whole"" house it feels like the whole house.  
He took the time to show us around and help us with what to see etc.
2 of the rooms are in the main house and one is in a little ""Cabin"" in the back.  It's little.  & it's workable.
His art is beautiful.
Tony's place is a good, affordable, launching pad for your Austin adventure - if you're going to stay there the whole time, or if you're on a romantic adventure, better to rent the whole place.
"
1751368,10843250,2014-03-10,4886767,Sasha,Tony was extremely friendly and accommodating.  He communicated clearly and promptly.  The house is spacious and beautiful with an excellent backyard (and a giant tortoise!).  We ended up renting the whole house out for eight people and it was plenty of space.  It was a treat to be able to stay there during SXSW and we would certainly do it again.   
1751368,12360843,2014-04-29,13351851,Yanxi,"Great house. Great host. Convenient, cozy, and full of fun. What else one can possibly want?"
1751368,13429107,2014-05-27,12512606,Kelly,"Tony was a wonderful host! He took the time to show us around the house and shared all his artwork. Every piece of art has a story, so be ready to listen to all the wonderful stories that Tony has to share! The Hyde Park neighborhood is also very safe, some friends and I were walking to the nearby coffee shop Epoch Coffee (24/7 coffee shop!) at midnight and felt completely safe. The location is also very central, easy access to major highways, and everything we needed were basically within 10-15 minutes. Oh, and don't forget to feed the tortoise apples, very friendly gal. ;)"

5704351,28507158,2015-03-24,29718782,Sam,"JoAnn and Kate were wonderful hosts and I was very grateful to have stayed in their beautiful home. If you imagine a picturesque ranch-esque house just on the edge of the city, quiet enough to enjoy the stillness of the hill country but close enough to jump straight into town - that'd be the most accurate description of this place. 
The pictures do the room justice, it's bright, spacious, clean and homely. There's a wonderful bathroom, which again is big and relaxing with your own bath tub and window. It takes 10 minutes to get into town, and 10 minutes to get back to the airport - which makes life incredible easy. 
They were very accommodating despite my late arrive and late departure, and made me feel very welcome throughout. 
I highly recommend, thank you both again for the stay! "
5704351,29945818,2015-04-14,3741003,Susan,The house and the room were lovely. JoAnne and Kate are nice folks and made me feel very welcome and comfortable. The peace and quiet was pleasant.  It was closer to town than I had realized at first and very easy to get back and forth. Great coffee!
5704351,30243201,2015-04-19,30711555,Kate,Perfect place to stay in Austin! Enough out of the city to relax but also a short drive to everywhere we wanted to go. Kate and JoAnn were very nice and hospitable. The room and property was exactly as described. I actually preferred to roam around their property then to go out Saturday night. 
5704351,31834755,2015-05-10,2939674,Mathias,JoAnn and Kate are really kind and helpful persons to help me discover Austin and facilities. Just regret shouldn't have the time to spend more in their lovely house and surroundings...
5704351,32024747,2015-05-12,32771989,Mark,"If you are looking for a great get away out in the country, look up  JoAnn and Kate in Austin. They're home is absolutely fantastic. Country home with a warm and inviting feel.  My fiance loved the old school tub and I loved the wood floors and rustic feel. Spend some time on the front porch and take it all in. Very relaxing and just what we needed for as getaway!! Thanks so much JoAnn and Kate for opening up your home to us. 

Mark"
5704351,32146118,2015-05-14,24986064,Justin,"The house was great! The bedroom and bathroom are paired exclusively in the house, which is nice. They were very welcoming and the home is decorated wonderfully. Their animals were very friendly but not bothersome at all. I would absolutely recommend staying with them!"
5704351,32586530,2015-05-19,4026559,William,"Everything was clean, comfortable, easy and very accommodating. I hope the soaring hawk over the back 40 is a permanent resident. "

5704351,33584456,2015-05-30,30871753,Isabella,"Jo Ann and Kate were lovely hostesses. We got into town early and they were able to accommodate the change in plans. The pets were very sweet and the room we stayed in was beyond lovely. After a long day of driving and an afternoon walking through Austin the quaint and well decorated bathroom was perfect for relaxing. Our favorite part of the house were the little nic-nacks such as the many soaps and the amusing books.  This place had a great personality, I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you again Jo Ann and Kate. "
5704351,33830535,2015-06-01,31133752,Adelaide,"Endroit magique à l'écart de la ville, en pleine nature. Nous sommes restées deux jours mais nous aurions adoré rester plus longtemps. La maison est ravissante et très propre. JoAnn et Kate ont été charmantes et très accueillantes. "
5704351,34172416,2015-06-05,5768242,Jada,Extremely Warm People! Very creative and I even learned a bit while on my stay. This is the perfect countryside get away and provided relaxation while on my business trip. Love the tub!
5704351,34953934,2015-06-14,30976978,Jack,Very relaxing atmosphere.  Kate was very accommodating.  It was really nice to be out away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  At times we felt like the house was all ours.  JoAnn and Kate are great hosts and we would recommend them highly.  Isabel (their dog) was very friendly.  
5704351,35343606,2015-06-17,25401236,Callisa,"Beautiful farmhouse stay! Kate was our perfect host. The guest room is downstairs with its own private bathroom. The house is less than  20 minutes from downtown if you even feel like leaving! Lovely tall ceilings in the very open home. We enjoyed our night on the back porch while watching a large storm roll in. Her pets were the cutest and our cat was allowed to stay as well.  If you're looking for a peaceful, easy going stay don't hesitate to book."
5704351,35669397,2015-06-21,32797556,Jesse,"What a lovely stay! Joann and Kate were very gracious, accommodating hosts. The farmhouse itself was a lovely house, removed from the bustle of Austin. And fresh eggs for breakfast - really wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful weekend."
5704351,36957409,2015-07-03,32594984,Natalie,"The room was so awesome! People who enjoy baths-the bathtub is about one of the most amazing and worth booking the room solely for that! This place is great if you want to escape the city but still be close to downtown, the drive is not too far. Our hosts were very gracious and we felt very welcome in their home and they were available if we needed help or had questions, but not invasive to our space at all. Perfect country getaway! "
5704351,37212830,2015-07-05,25077023,Thripthy,JoAnn and Kate were very welcoming to us and our puppy. The room was very charming especially with the nice soak in tub which I used each day I was there. We and our puppy thoroughly enjoyed the property which is very Austin weird in the most charming and story book kind of way. We will definitely stay here every time we go back to Austin! 
5704351,37906533,2015-07-11,37137610,Ardis,"My daughter and I had a wonderful time at Jo Ann and Kate's house. The room and house were comfortable, clean, and (website hidden) Ann and Kate were very nice and welcoming. They gave us great recommendations for places to eat and a fun tour of the property when we arrived. The property was so exciting to explore and is extremely convenient to downtown Austin.  Their dog Isobel is so sweet and cute, my daughter loved her at first sight, and the cats were fun to watch as they stalked through the beautiful flowers that surround the house. This was our first experience with Airbnb so we were a little nervous, but we wish we'd had more time to stay."
5704351,38622714,2015-07-17,12923793,Don,Great communication and easy check in process. Very comfortable and clean room. The bathroom was comfy and user friendly. Easy 10-15 minutes away from the center of Austin. I will book again and highly recommend the hosts.
5704351,39415568,2015-07-23,15002269,Ceci,"Our experience at Jo Ann and Kate's house was truly great. The room was great, clean, spacious and private.

5704351,39892783,2015-07-26,930976,Rebecca,"My short stay out at JoAnn and Kate's was perfect. The sunny room was perfectly appointed and welcoming. There were clear directions on how to use everything in the home, and tips for Austin visitors. It was nice to explore the farm, and I can imagine it's even more beautiful in the fall. It's a great spot for escaping the city a bit and being surrounded by art and nature. "
5704351,39980073,2015-07-27,37283385,Karen,"Kate and JoAnn are such a lovely couple, they ensured that we had everything we needed and made us feel safe and incredibly relaxed. We seriously couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Airbnb. The Farm House is beautiful inside and out. You are literally stepping into a loving home and a wonderful atmosphere. "
5704351,41103253,2015-08-04,17128124,Hayley,Kate and JoAnn were fantastic! The room was exactly as pictured and was comfortable. I appreciated all of the quirky decor that made the room feel like home. We also appreciated that we had access to fresh ground coffee and a French press in the morning. And we loved Iso the dog!
5704351,42012124,2015-08-10,20696709,Tenille,"JoAnn gave us the details on where everything was that we needed and Kate was around to chat with us.  It was great to have an en suite bathroom and access to use the kitchen.  There were fans everywhere -- which was useful to keep the air moving in 100+ degree weather.  We also had an AC unit in our room. Call, Gus, and Isobel are some of the sweetest pets ever -- we loved spending time with them.  The neighborhood is about 17 minutes away from the airport and farm-town rural.


"
5704351,43138253,2015-08-17,15279610,Patrick,Both JoAnn and Kate were so nice and welcoming. Two of the friendliest people I've met. Very down to earth. Kate even went out of her way to drop me off in town. The place was comfy and it made me feel at home! Highly recommend.
5704351,44135860,2015-08-24,34398182,Megan,"Staying with JoAnn & Kate was a lovely experience. I had lazy, relaxing mornings & kept busy in the afternoons. Hiring a car was affordable & Kate helped me with offering suggestions of sites to go through to get a good deal. They were both very friendly, accommodating & easy to talk too. JoAnn offered me suggestions on things to do when it was pouring with rain which was very helpful. I was able to store food in the fridge/on the bench & felt comfortable using their kitchen. The notes they left me were informative & descriptive enough that if i was on my own i would have no trouble knowing where things are kept & what i am able to use freely. I loved the homely vibe, the house was charming, the bed was comfortable and the bath was a massive bonus! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, I couldn't have picked a better place to stay in Austin! "
5704351,46904896,2015-09-14,39525752,Manuel,"Had a great time staying here during my trip to Austin. 20 minutes from downtown and traffic was never bad. Light pollution wasn't bad either so was nice to get some fresh ""country"" air after spending all day in Austin. Both Kate and JoAnn were very nice and hospitable and our room was quiet and cold so we slept comfortable every night we were there."
5704351,47674127,2015-09-21,574157,Phyllis,"We enjoyed staying at Kate and Joanne's home; they were great hosts and made us feel very comfortable during our stay. They supplied us with everything we needed, and never steered us wrong with their suggestions of great restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner, coffeehouses, etc.  Their home is just as described.  Their friendly pets were added enjoyment, as well as the farm animals. The location is great in that its quiet and peaceful and away from traffic, close to the racetrack (COTA),  and close enough to all Austin has to offer.  We will surely stay here when we visit again.  "

5704351,51953100,2015-10-25,44801674,Ruben,"JoAnn and Kate were very welcoming and made the stay at there place a very pleasant one.

The house was easy to find with the directions that they provide. JoAnn was quick to respond to any questions we had before our arrival. Once we got there the only issue really was being careful not to get stuck in the mud near the drive-way because of the heavy rains but even then JoAnn and Kate made sure to tell us about it ahead of time and went out of there way to make sure we had no trouble coming and going.

The room and the house itself is amazing, very clean and they provided plenty of amenities. Our stay was brief but a very positive one! I definitely recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Austin. My only regret was that I did not stay longer. "

The host was very hospitable, offering anything in the house (food, wine, etc) to us while we stayed there.  It was very convenient to downtown Austin and I would stay here again if I am in the Austin area again.  "
708582,8811070,2013-11-18,9897060,Alex,Topaz was a great host. I contacted him last minute and he did everything to accommodate me. The house is great and only a $10 cab ride from downtown. I will definitely stay again. 
8239860,48613161,2015-09-27,1455038,Sascha,Great experience overall. Description and pictures are very accurate and Jessica adds just the right touch of extra attention to make one feel super welcome. Definitely recommended. 
8239860,49662810,2015-10-05,43812089,Jeannine,"My trip to Austin was so great and this apartment was in a perfect area. Not gonna lie, the selling point was that it was across the street from Torchy's Tacos. I didn't get a chance to meet my host, Jessica, but I got clear and prompt responses and instructions from booking to check out. The apartment was spotless and really comfortable, just the way I prefer to keep my own home. Such a quiet building, which I'm not used to and surprisingly slept amazing each night. Overall it was a really easy and pleasant experience."
8239860,50484686,2015-10-12,5369104,Yvonne,"Jessica was great! Directions were clear and helpful, apartment was clean and just what we needed for our weekend stay for ACL. The #10 bus stop is right in front of the apartment complex, making it very convenient to get downtown or home from ACL. Had a great stay, thanks! "
8239860,51917329,2015-10-25,43790838,Rachel,Very clean and perfect size for two!  
6404123,50442877,2015-10-12,39068047,Jacob,"When we arrived, Michael left a note welcoming us along with a bottle of wine and prosecco.  The location was perfect for where we wanted to be for the Austin City Limits festival.  That along with a very nice setup of rooms, common areas, the ping pong table and patio all made these accommodations welcoming for me and my friends.

We definitely appreciated Michael's hospitality and would highly recommend Michael to anyone."
3801572,20799124,2014-10-05,5283422,Harry,"Carol made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.  We entered the room to find a bottle of chilled water, glasses and two cold bottles of Ziegen Bock. At any hotel you would expect to find a certain level of amenities.  What we found went well beyond what you'd expect in any hotel.  There were multiple bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner.  They were all very nice, high quality items.  There were plenty of towels in the bathroom as well as facial wipes and dark towels for anyone who needs to remove facial makeup.  

The location was close to the freeway, and plenty of eateries, but there were so many tall trees in the neighborhood any highway noise was barely perceptible.  In the mornings we were greeted with a choice of cold brewed, percolated or espresso coffee.  There were also muffins and cereal.  Carol and her husband share an office in the opposite side of the house from the room they rent, so we were never bothered by their activities.  The room has a window A/C unit, so we were able to set the room's temperature to whatever we wanted.

Their was an outdoor table and chairs in the front of the house, so we were able sit outside if we cared to.  On the second day of our stay we spotted the group of peacocks that roams the neighborhood.  Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience."
3801572,21185244,2014-10-12,17888799,Melissa,"What an wonderful experience we've had with Carol and her husband! They really made us feel at home and had the most beautiful house! The bed was incredibly comfortable, the bathroom was like a spa, the hosts were more than hospitable, and the neighborhood was quiet and inhabited by peacocks! Overall a perfect stay. Thanks so much!"
3801572,21309338,2014-10-14,21896337,Bob,"The neighborhood was safe and cozy. The peacocks were a delightful treat.

Carol and her husband were also wonderful hosts and were both accommodating  but not intrusive. The house was nice and clean; we definitely plan on returning if we pass through Austin again."
3801572,21922351,2014-10-26,7638088,Sara,"Carol and Darryl were excellent hosts!  My husband and I stayed at their unique East Austin home overnight. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.  Their place was easy to get to and about 5-10 minutes from everything... even in the infamous Austin traffic!  They made us feel welcome the entire time.  They provided extra toiletries in the bathroom for us to use.  I greatly appreciated the makeup remover and the dark cloth. They left us delicious local soda in the fridge.  Also, they were kind enough to have fruit, cereal, pastries and coffee available for breakfast! Carol gave us suggestions on fun things to see downtown and we're glad we took her advice.  We're thankful we had such great hosts for our first Air BnB experience!"
3801572,22005420,2014-10-27,22885744,Anne-Marie & Thomas,"We stayed at Carol's for one night. All descriptions on her airbnb page were true. Carol and her husband stayed in another room and let us feel like home. The bed and more generally the bedroom were comfortable. The bed sheets were really soft !!
The bathroom was very clean with all kind of products provided. 
The neighbourhood is nice and was well decorated few days before Halloween. Carol gave us some tips to eat in Austin and we had a really good time (and lunch) ! Thank you"
3801572,22368288,2014-11-04,4103035,Cathy,"Carol is very friendly and easy to strike up a conversation with.  She is knowledgeable about the Austin area and she made us feel very welcome in her home. The neighborhood is lovely and an easy walk to Mueller where there is a farmers market, biking, walking, play ground etc. We would definitely stay again."
3801572,22655601,2014-11-11,5279405,Lindy,Carol and Darryl were wonderful hosts.  This was my first time renting a room instead of a whole house or apartment and I really enjoyed their company.  They had lots of suggestions for interesting and fun things to do.  The house was exactly what you see in the pictures and perfect for me.  The neighborhood was tree-lined and beautiful.  This experience has made me want to rent from on-site owners again.  
3801572,22952824,2014-11-18,22354343,Arnold,"Carol and Darrell are terrific and informative hosts.  The bedroom is warm and comfortable.  The bathroom, which is next door down the hall, is clean with luxurious towels and toiletries.  They offer 24/7 coffee, and cereal and sometimes a muffin in the morning. My first Airbnb experience, they made it a very positive one."
3801572,23871371,2014-12-13,2684803,Kevin,"Carol and Darren immediately made me feel at home, giving me a quick tour of the living room, bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom/ office.  They always had a hot pot of coffee on, and it was easy to come and go throughout the day so I could use the space as a temporary office as well as lodging.  Very friendly and accommodating, and full of good suggestions for places to eat, get a drink, catch a live show, or just go for a walk.  They are super involved in Austin and have their finger on the pulse.  Awesome place to spend some time working away from home.  "
3801572,24799118,2015-01-02,3912878,Ryan,The listing was just as described. We booked on very short notice to celebrate NYE but the hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. Carol met us and gave us a brief tour of the common areas including where to get coffee or tea in the morning.The home is in a quite neighbourhood of older homes but its right off the freeway for easy access. The room was just inside the front door so it made it easy to come and go without disturbing the hosts and it was very clean and comfortable. In fact the whole home was very tidy and we will certainly stay again on our next visit. 
3801572,24996269,2015-01-04,16304856,Paul,"Carol and Darryl are very warm and welcoming. They let us have the run of the whole house. Great hosts, great advice. Love 'em!"
3801572,25158936,2015-01-07,10939773,Nelson,"Carol was the perfect host and all the amenities were super!  From location, bed, bath, and welcoming spirit, Carol embodied everything an Airbnb host should be!  I felt as if I was visiting a long-time friend!  Thanks, Carol!! Nel Hill "
3801572,25223200,2015-01-09,10939773,Nelson,"Love Carol, the house, the amenities, location, and Austin!"
3801572,25375942,2015-01-13,1175619,Ligia,Carol and her husband are the most sweet hosts you can have. The house and the bathroom were very clean . I had a great experience and if one day I go back to Austin I will try to stay over there.
3801572,25776662,2015-01-25,26360779,Dylan,"Carol and her husband were wonderful hosts. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious with plenty of hot water. The house is very cute and we felt extremely welcomed by he hosts. This is a great place to stay and our experience could not have been better. "
3801572,26140897,2015-02-04,5295372,Mika,"This was a great experience! I was on a business trip and being able to be in a home-like environment, really worked nice for me. I would recommend! Awesome breakfasts, too!"
3801572,26200574,2015-02-06,27113544,Wade,"Great House, Great People, Great Neighborhood!!"
3801572,26633051,2015-02-16,27010756,Aj,"This was our first airbnb experience and we loved it. The location was perfect, close enough to downtown attractions but far enough to show us some new areas with a lot of conveniences. The neighborhood was quaint and friendly, the peacocks wandering all over added a unique, artistic quality.  The house was comfortable, everything we could possibly have needed was right there for us.  Plenty of nice towels and toiletries, candy, breakfast supplies, everything! We wish we could have stayed for breakfast one morning but we just had so much planned! We would definitely stay here again!"
3801572,27029416,2015-02-23,3425203,Diana,Carol and Darrel made us feel most welcome.  Their house was just as described.  
3801572,27360453,2015-03-02,27978239,Jan,The host made us feel very welcome.  Our host's spouse walked us through the house when we arrived and we felt very comfortable.  The listing description was very accurate and the neighborhood was of similar style.
3801572,27452551,2015-03-04,5484495,Jake,"Very welcome! I had booked at the last minute and they were very nice and available. The house is very cute, comfortable, and relatively close to downtown (Uber cost about $9-10) and the airport ($16).

I saw Daryl more than Carol, but he was very easy going, and helped me find things to do during my time in Austin.  

"
3801572,27837524,2015-03-13,6919224,Vinicius,The true real Airbnb Experience! Carol and Darrel are amazing hosts and you will feel as living in your own home.  All the house rules are very clear and it is really cool to make your trip even better.
3801572,28121759,2015-03-18,19752441,K,My hosts were lovely and welcoming. They shared their cozy home graciously. Loved sitting outside and enjoying the garden. A great funky friendly neighborhood.
3801572,28250582,2015-03-21,10100740,Anne,We had a wonderful time staying at  Carol's house! Our experience of SXSW was even better knowing that we have a quiet home to go to and it's so close to all the best brunch places and to downtown too! Austin hospitality at it's best! 
3801572,28455538,2015-03-23,13744036,Jerome  (And Deborah ),"We had a great time getting to know Carol and Darrell, however briefly as our weekend plans didn't overlap very much due to SXSW. However, they were lovely hosts and were a pleasure to meet. The house, bathroom, and bedroom were all clean/tidy and ready for us. We especially loved the chocolate Cheerios (especially me as I'm prego!) as a late midnight snack. Thanks Carol!!!! We would highly recommend staying here! Ps. The garden is lovely and the location was perfect for our first visit to Austin. "
3801572,28959641,2015-04-01,10814884,Janet,"Carol was very welcoming and friendly. It was very clear she's given a lot of consideration to her guests' experience. Communication was very clear from the get-go and we felt relaxed in her home from the moment we arrived even though Carol and Daryl were out. We really enjoyed chatting with her, seeing her great garden, and getting priceless tips for stuff to do, including a top notch concert (for only $7)! This came in handy since we were completely disoriented when we got in!  The bedroom was a very comfortable place to catch up on sleep. The house was well located. She kindly offered breakfast snacks, fruit, muffins, coffee, etc. We'd definitely go back and stay here again."
3801572,29313511,2015-04-06,12597167,Veronica,"What amazing hosts! Carol was so welcoming and friendly. We found everything we needed with ease and felt completely at home.  Her continued help throughout the trip was an added bonus as we were new to the town. The home is in a beautiful neighborhood, comfortable surrounds and very ""Austin""."
3801572,29536163,2015-04-08,14275258,Nicholas,"Carol and Darrel were very welcoming and kind. Since we were on the road driving, I was unsure of my check in time, and even though we arrived pretty late, they were there to greet us. Carol was very flexible and communicative. We immediately felt welcome in their home. It seems they both have an encyclopedic knowledge of Austin, and they were very willing to share that knowledge, and answer any questions I had about where to eat, drink, listen to music, and which sites to see. The house was very clean, with fresh linens, towels, etc. It is a little bit outside the downtown area, but easily accessible by bus (30 minutes)or driving (10 minutes). "
3801572,29945296,2015-04-14,30442374,Paul,"Carol and Darrell were very friendly, the house space was very nice, clean bathroom, access to the kitchen for fruit and cereals, all the coffee I could drink, space in the fridge for water, juice had my own key, came and went as I needed, great neighborhood with large trees a space outside to sit and enjoy it when I had time, good location close to airport Blvd and 35, if you didn't hear the cars you don't realize sitting on the porch how close you are.. down the street over one block and you are on the main roads to get you to where you want in Austin, had a desk, with wifi that worked great.. There wasn't any tension was as if I was visiting friends.. "
3801572,31984753,2015-05-12,26172247,Olivia,Everything was great! The hosts were out of town so we unfortunately didn't get to meet them. We had a very quick one night stay but everything we needed was provided! I would definitely stay again!
3801572,33143053,2015-05-25,32495982,Dan,"This was exactly what we wanted for our weekend visit to Austin. Carol and Darrell were perfect hosts -- welcoming, informative and still respectful of our privacy. Although we pretty much only slept at the house (we were visiting Dan's daughter, so we spent a lot of time with her), it more than met our needs. Everything was clean, and the bed was fabulously comfortable. We especially enjoyed having our own A/C that we could adjust to suit ourselves. And thanks, Carol, for introducing us to those yummy Luna protein bars! We look forward to staying with you next time we're in Austin -- and maybe this time, we'll have a chance to actually have breakfast together!"
3801572,33345361,2015-05-26,3782602,Trevor,"Staying with Carol was an Airbnb dream come true. She's an attentive, kind, and experienced host. Although she and her husband are in the home and available to answer questions most of the time, they often keep to themselves in a back office so you really get the feeling of having a whole home to yourself. The house was located in a great spot close to nature trails and the hotspots of Congress and Mueller, which are a foodies dream (as is all of Austin). I was so thankful to be able to use a bicycle to quickly jog around these sites and take in some fresh air after traveling all day. Another benefit of the listing is that the home is located near the freeway so getting an uber downtown is a breeze, it only took 10 minutes. The house is cozy, clean, and has all the essentials you'd expect in a hotel but an even better bed. It truly is a wonderful nights sleep, and there is a/c in the room you can adjust yourself so regardless of the weather you'll always be comfortable. I was actually in need of a place to stay and booked on the same day, and Carol and her husband were so understanding and welcoming - as an experienced Airbnb host myself I was rather blown away by their demeanor and accommodations. I highly recommend this listing! "
3801572,35445758,2015-06-19,4283058,Kristen,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful! I couldn't have asked for better hosts. Carol was extremely welcoming and walked us through the entire process.  I truly appreciated the toiletries Carol had on hand if you accidentally forgot anything.  There was coffee every morning, along with cereal and fresh fruit. Our hosts were knowledgeable of the area giving helpful hints on where we might like to have dinner or sight see.  The house is centrally located in Austin, and easily accessible driving to and from the airport.  I would recommend this listing to anyone staying in the Austin area."
3801572,37405228,2015-07-06,35425109,Cori,Great first stay with Air B&B. The hosts were friendly and the bed and room were very comfortable. The a/c that you can control in the room was great. Appreciated the breakfast food and coffee. Thank you.
3801572,38930996,2015-07-19,21558947,Rachel,"Carol was lovely and so was her home. I felt very comfortable and relaxed, and I really enjoyed my stay. I really appreciated the coffee and breakfast snacks. Plus, Carol gave me some delicious peaches! I highly recommend Carol's Summer Retreat. "
3801572,39887473,2015-07-26,39269907,Galadriel,"Staying here was my second experience at an airbnb and it was so lovely. Carol's home is warm and welcoming and very comfortable. The shared spaces and private room are very accommodating and Carol herself is a kind and generous host. Carol provided snacks, coffee, information, and much more and made my stay in Austin so much easier and fun. And the house is located in a great walking neighborhood! "
3801572,40064469,2015-07-27,29855759,Paulina,"First time using Airbnb! My boyfriend and I went to Austin to kick off our vacation. We originally booked a room at an Extended Stay, but it was terrible!! So we decided to get a refund and look into Airbnb (mind you this was at 9pm on a Friday). Carol was quick to respond and was completely accommodating and welcoming. Her home is located in the perfect location. It was close to downtown, East Side, and Barton Springs. Carol is wonderful! She had great recommendations to check out while in Austin as well. "
3801572,42168197,2015-08-11,147095,Mitch,"Carol and Daryl were wonderful hosts, we could not have felt more welcome or more at home. They laid out a great breakfast, complete with a selection of coffee, teas, cereals, snacks and fruits, with plenty of water to stay hydrated. Even in the hottest of Austin summers, the bedroom's blackout shades, healthy AC unit and ceiling fan make for a solid night's sleep. Oh, and I can't forget the super comfy bed! 

The neighborhood is an amazing collection of mid-century homes which, formerly in the flight path of the one-time Mueller airport, now enjoy a blissful serenity, framed with pecan trees and hardy cacti. 

Cannot recommend this place enough, and will likely stay again!"
3801572,43339573,2015-08-18,33277483,Meagan,Carol was a very accommodating host and welcomed us into her retro home. It was a very nice room with a lot of Austin travel guides that helped us decide where to eat dinner the next day. We are breakfast people and the one provided was MUCH better than the fast food that we would have had otherwise. We hope to visit again! 
3801572,43730278,2015-08-21,41843909,Jordan,"What an incredible place to stay in Austin! Carol and Darrel were such kind, generous, and down to earth hosts. House was clean, breakfast was a great spread of options, and I feel confident that if I had forgotten anything or everything, Carol would of had a spare for me. I have no doubt that I'll try booking here again next time I'm in Austin."
3801572,44056447,2015-08-23,30986761,S,"Carol was a gracious host, interested in making us feel comfortable in her home.  The house is located in an older, eclectic neighborhood, beautiful large trees, convenient to downtown. The window A/C unit allows for adjusting temperature to suit individual preference."
3801572,45707899,2015-09-05,31098460,Hannah,We had a great experience with Carol and Daryl. They were very kind and even let us check out a little late. We loved that they had breakfast available and bikes to use as well! 
3801572,46032997,2015-09-07,42251879,Archana,Carol and Darrell's place was exactly what I was looking for! As a first time Airbnb-er I looked for people who had received good reviews and this couple excelled at not only making me feel safe but also welcome and wanted in their home and as a visitor to the Austin area.  I enjoyed coffee and breakfast with Carol the first morning I was there and the next she offered me the use of her bike so we could go check out their neighborhood farmer's market. Such a treat! Carol also had a couple of great  recommendations of places for me to check out. This trip was exactly what I needed and the Eckelcamp's hospitality combined with the beautiful and easily accessible location of their home created an experience I would highly recommend to anyone looking to to visit the Austin area!
3801572,47079769,2015-09-15,3955817,Cindy,"I thoroughly enjoyed my experience - Carol and Darrell have meticulously thought through how to make their guests feel welcome. The room was spacious and comfortable, and if by chance you forgot any kind of toiletry, Carol's got you covered.  She is also a wealth of information on what to do in Austin. I highly recommend!"
3801572,48191790,2015-09-24,41622766,Jeff,"This was our first experience at AirBNB and Carol made it a wonderful experience. She was helpful and friendly, going out of her way to make us feel comfortable. It was a long time since we'd been to Austin and we got great recommendations for places to check out for food and fun. "
3801572,48778267,2015-09-28,1394200,Carlos Javier,"My stay in Carol's place was really great. She was there to explain me everything when I arrived, including some tips to enjoy the city. Moreover, she offered me tamales and cinnamon rolls!! I would highlight that the room was really comfortable and that Carol and Darrell know how to make you feel at home."
3801572,49617155,2015-10-05,41087630,Rachael,"Carol and Darrel were great hosts.  They are so knowledgeable about great places to go in Austin.  We loved every one of their suggestions.  Their home is quiet, comfortable and you can tell they have put a lot of thought into making their guests feel at home.  Their house is also really close to downtown.  It was convenient and enjoyable.  "
3801572,50746011,2015-10-14,15833602,Matt,"Darrel and Carol made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible! They gave great reccomendations and even sent us concerns on weather conditions. Great location and easy biking into the city hot spots 
"
3801572,51157718,2015-10-18,31604169,Henriette,"This was my first Airbnb stay and I couldn't have chosen a better place to start my Airbnb experience with! Carol and Darryll - great people!!! Very professional,service minded and more than helpful with all things - like the ultimate hotel stay but with heart and a thought ,the personal touch,though all details. The house was lovely and ""my"" room was very good,spacious and comfy,all very clean and fresh. Austin -lovely city,I have to comeback back,so many things to see and do. In the room all information you could possibly need,fr.o.m. Public transportations and where to eat,to interesting things to visit,are to find. If it's not there,C & D know! Thanks for all Carol and Darryll,you rock!!"
3801572,51513826,2015-10-20,11207398,Theresa,"My stay with Carol and Darrell was amazing. Their location was great, the room was huge, clean and comfortable, and Carol and Darrell were perfect hosts. All her recommendations were great and she had maps and brochures for everything. This is the place to stay if you visit Austin."
2461357,11193089,2014-03-24,2879079,Damisha, It is a cute little place with excellent amenities never wanted to leave. Clean and spacious with great outside area. Very convenient location to all of Austin. 
2461357,13503768,2014-05-29,12352865,James,"Our hosts were on vacation during our stay but they left two points of contact for any problems encountered.  The house was as described, clean and ready for use upon our arrival.  Many of the required consumables for our stay were also provided (laundry supplies, bathroom supplies, condiments etc.)  We would definitely keep this Airbnb at the top of our list for a return visit to Austin."
2461357,13749052,2014-06-03,14766707,Andrea,"Alexa was very easy to book and communicate with before and during the stay.  She was out of town during our stay, but we were provided with two different people as points of contact.  We did contact one of the people about early check in and they were very accommodating.  The house was what we expected and clean.  The bed linens are very soft and cozy.  There is a covered parking area, washer and dryer and a nice spot to sit out back.  It is walking distance to the new HEB grocery which is a great store.  Paco's Tacos is close as well and delicious!  Pretty close to 35 which takes you into the city a short hop down the highway.    We enjoyed our stay."
2461357,14489011,2014-06-20,16579599,Lisa,"This is a great house and the hosts were very gracious. The house had every amenity one would need, was newly remodeled, and has a great back yard! Clean, fresh, and centrally located. The hosts emailed several times to make sure we were happy, which we were. I will definitely be staying here again!   "
2461357,21215071,2014-10-13,5577478,Lisa,"The apartment was perfect- airy, clean, comfortable. Perfect for me and my 2 colleagues to stay in for the weekend. There's laundry available, and chocolate was on hand to greet us :). The adjacent tenants got a little rowdy, and their dog had a lot to say, but it was the weekend, after all!"
2461357,21606078,2014-10-20,21621054,Christopher,"Had such a fun weekend in Austin, and this place only made it better! Conveniently located close enough to downtown. We went to 6th street two of the 3 nights and had no problems getting to and from. The place had a very homey feel to it along with it's extremely comfortable beds. Would love to go back someday! Thanks so much Alexa "
2461357,22250095,2014-11-02,21806922,Andrew,Beautiful home.  Everything was as clean as a whistle!  Alexa was very attentive and thorough in leaving us details for our stay.  The spacious garden was lovely to sit in the sun for a while.  Not too far from downtown Austin either. 
2461357,22585850,2014-11-10,13834869,Darren,Alexa was a great host.  Very responsive in booking and getting us our access code for the house.  She even went to the trouble of having some blinds installed after our first night to block out a floodlight from the neighboring apartment complex.  I would stay here again.  About a 10 minute drive to DKR stadium at UT so was perfect place to stay to visit for a UT game.
2461357,23587267,2014-12-05,24330064,Leslie,The house was really clean and comfortable and was located in a spot that made it easy to get to both downtown and the airport easily. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with. They were also flexible and made it easy for us to extend our stay a little. The beds are also extremely comfortable. We are thinking about staying there again the next time we go to Austin. 
2461357,24251364,2014-12-23,24749664,Mondo,"Alexa's 2 bed one bath was my first experience using Air BnB. The listing was accurate and she was wonderful about accommedating our two dogs that we travel with. We utilized all the the space. Beyond the bedrooms and the bathroom we hung out in the living/dining/kitchen area sat out on the porch while the dogs ran around the yard. We also were able to use the washer/dryer which was a plus!! I recommend this place for anyone, especially if you have a small family."
2461357,24604463,2014-12-31,23741922,Sharon,"The house was spacious and well equipped and decorated in a fun, lively way. It is close to a large HEB supermarket and is convenient to Downtown and the university. It has a lovely little backyard and was exactly what we were looking for."
2461357,25679931,2015-01-23,23948015,Mary,"Although I was not able to go to Austin as planned, members of my family stayed at the condo.  They enjoyed their stay and felt the condo was more than adequate for their needs and had a pleasant modern feel to it.  Alexa was very kind anticipating our needs as far as sleeping arrangements were concerned.  We would not hesitate to stay at the condo on our next visit to Austin.  "
2461357,27663955,2015-03-09,7994027,Anton,"Very nice house, so far the cleanest one we've been via AirBnB. All these pictures on the walls make the house look a bit weirdo, but we liked that. :)

It really shines if you go with kids - they have DVDs with kids movies, and a big bag of toys, which were keeping our kids entertained during the stay.

Very nice location as well - it's close enough to the downtown so you can get to there for about 10 minutes drive, but not too close so you're not stuck in traffic every time you need to get to the house.  There is HEB (grocery store) really close - a couple minutes drive."
2461357,28387601,2015-03-23,13056493,Michael,"Place was quiet, clean, cool and secure! We had a little trouble with the door code at the start but once sorted, it was a very handy way to lock up and not have to worry about who has keys. Perfect spot to stay if you're going to Austin and especially SXSW. Recommended!"
2461357,31081954,2015-05-01,21138457,Theo,"Nice house, great location... Love the park nearby.    All needed info for the house easily accessible."
2461357,32636497,2015-05-19,31681438,Olivia,"Experience was amazing, the home was beautifully decorated and organized.  House location was great, there's an HEB close by (if you go to HEB take your own bags) and ride to downtown is not to far away.  The only thing is the house is close to a curb, so its a little difficult to get out of the driveway.  Overall it was a great place, I highly recommend it and we would definitely stay there again. "
2461357,33802259,2015-06-01,31235297,Henry,The listing was exactly has stated. The host was very good at communication and accommodation. No complaints here!

79165,205868,2011-03-21,432813,Beatrice,"The one of Viviane and Michael is one of those cases in which the photos do not do well enough the enchanting beauty of the house. Big house with open plan ground floor, furnished with great taste and warmth unusual: it feels right at home! The room was beautiful and spotless with a big private bathroom. The house overlooks a park on the hills of Austin in a very quiet and peaceful area of very beautiful houses, surrounded by greenery. Convenient to get to downtown with bus and inexpensively by taxi at night to return.Viviane and Michael are two perfect hosts, very friendly, cordial, open, friendly and distinct, with a great taste for life. Michael has prepared especially for me one of his famous cheesecake: very good. I thank you again. "
79165,310530,2011-06-12,677094,Huw,"We had the loveliest stay at Viviane and Michael's. They have a beautiful house and are gracious hosts. We had a lovely room with bathroom to ourselves and were welcome to come and go as we pleased. 

Off-street parking and driving to South Congress or up to 6th St was very easy (though not waking distance). We caught a taxi home after a night out with a few drinks on 6th St which was less than $15 (possibly closer to $10 but I don't remember precisely). 

Michael provided some excellent dining and drinking recommendations. Coffee/tea/juice were provided for breakfast which was a good start to the day too. We would definitely recommend to someone coming to stay in Austin (especially if you have a car to get around easily). "
79165,671000,2011-10-28,95121,Peter,"Great house and room, well located and very friendly hosts! "
79165,697125,2011-11-06,1369152,Robert,"Our first airbnb experience.  Viviane and Michael were very welcoming and had great information for us.  The room was outstanding with all of the little touches that showed they cared about their guests.  When was the last time you had cheese cake made for you when you returned from dinner?  Breakfast was terrific and the conversations were lively and exciting.  If we're ever back in Austin, this will be where we will stay.  Ohio couple. "
79165,701608,2011-11-07,783332,Amit,"I reserved the Soco Room at the CinnaMan villa by posting onto the AirBNB waitlist for Austin, from my mobile phone, while driving down from Dallas. Viviane responded promptly, and confirmed while I was still en route. Her home is a large villa, located conveniently close to Congress street (with the food trucks) and the bridge by the Capitol. 

I really liked our room - it was cosy, clean, and sports a cute balcony that opens out onto the yard. Viviane's living room is stacked with comicbooks, nice loungy chairs, and she is usually around to let you in, and is a really personable, friendly and caring host. I enjoyed chatting with her an Michael, and chilling in the house when I wasn't out and about in Austin. I will definitely be back !"
79165,823042,2012-01-02,381542,Alice,"We had a wonderful stay in the Madeleine room, very comfortable and Viviane and Michael were wonderful hosts, friendly and helpful. The breakfasts cooked by Michael were fantastic, our favorite being the sweet potato waffles with peaches and crushed pecans in warm syrup on top.  We will definitely stay there again the next time we are in Austin.  "
79165,982578,2012-03-09,422004,Ozge,"I can't compare my stay at ""Madeleine Room"" with any of my previous airbnb experiences. Because this beautifully designed en-suite room offers everything you need in one place. Bed was sooo comfortable, I enjoyed having a balcony in my room and waking up to the sound of birds. Viviane and Michael are amazing hosts! They were so helpful and nice. I felt fortunate to know them. 
Cinnamon Villa is definitely raising the standards of ""bed & breakfast"" type of stays and I would recommend to everyone visiting Austin. "
79165,1070402,2012-04-01,365215,Erica,"We had a great stay.  We were hosted by Michael who was very pleasant, friendly, and accomodating.  The room was clean, and breakfast was good.  We were looking for a last minute place to stay and Michael made the room available to us right away.  Checking in and out was seamless.  :)"

The house itself is in a quite area yet close to downtown (10 mins walk + 5 mins bus).

Most important of all was the great hospitality I got from the hosts. Viviane is super friendly and super helpful. I really enjoyed the stay and I will definitively go there again."
79165,2819539,2012-11-05,998614,Arika,I really enjoyed my stay at the Madeleine Room. The hosts were very nice and accommodating and the room was very comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. 
79165,3761069,2013-03-12,4649429,Phil,"Viviane was a most pleasant host.  The Madeleine room was perfectly clean and comfortable.  The bed is most comfortable and the bathroom wonderful.  Having an en-suite and bar fridge was really handy.
The buses (100 or 7) are just a short pleasant walk and are excellent for getting cheaply in to town.
I would thoroughly recommend Viviane's hospitality."
79165,4186040,2013-04-16,5365760,Jean,Viviane & Michael were fantastic hosts! They were so warm and their home is very comfortable and clean. We are grateful for the time we spent with them.

79165,16179611,2014-07-22,7199627,Charles,"Vivianne and Michael were great hosts during our 2-day stay in Austin and made us feel very welcome. The room has its own bathroom and is upstairs, and everything was just as described in the listing. The rate is fair for this type of accommodation. 
Vivianne also provided us breakfast (fruit, bread, coffee, and juice) for no additional charge. Highly recommend!
"
79165,18552317,2014-08-28,18665014,Clarence,"Vivienne and Michael (Team CinnaMan) were very friendly and accommodating.  They provided essentials I needed during my stay.  The room was great, and bed was super comfortable.  The location was excellent since it was close to downtown, various restaurants, and other attractions.  Overall, I had an outstanding experience with Team CinnaMan, and a wonderful stay at the Madeleine Room.  They have a wonderful villa to accommodate guests, and provided lots of information about exploring Austin.  I highly recommended Team CinnaMan.   Thank you Michael and Vivienne!"

Both Viviane and Michael went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care of during our entire visit.  We were shown an exemplary level of courtesy, professionalism, and friendliness.  The room was exactly as described, in a safe neighborhood, close to the city center.  Furthermore, the guides and recommendations provided by Team CinnaMan were excellent for those visiting Austin for the first time.  I would definitely recommend staying here, and will do so on my next visit to Austin!   "

Happy to stay again "
79165,24954596,2015-01-04,10765268,Bob,"This is a very convenient and nice place to stay.  Very private and clean room with a bath.  Common areas in the home for TV and lounging are very nice and well appointed.  Viviane is a wonderful hostess, orange juice and coffee available every morning, as well as great conversation.  The location is outstanding, within walking distance of the South Shore Boardwalk and parks.  Highly recommended."
79165,28847455,2015-03-30,3605569,Eric,"This is a great base to explore Austin. Viviane and Michael make you feel at home and after a breakfast with fresh fruit and maybe a hearty casserole the day just can't go wrong. No matter how many questions about Austin you'll have, your hosts will have an answer. Highly recommended. "
79165,29814746,2015-04-13,5802538,Calvin,This was the second time we have stayed with Cinnaman.  It was neat clean and Vivianne and Michael are very friendly and kind hosts.  We enjoyed it and hope to return again someday.

79165,47724655,2015-09-21,34141110,Fabiana,"I just had the best time at Team CinnaMan's place! The room is very confortable and clean. I just can't think of anything I could have wanted that wasn't there! The location of their house is simply awesome, in a beautiful neighborhood, close to many touristic places and very easy to get downtown. I certainly recommend it for all travellers! Most importantly: Viviane and Michael are the nicest people! They are joyful  and good to be around, what doesn't mean they don't respect your privacy - by the contrary: they seem to know exactly when you want to chat and they are very happy to talk about Austin and give you tips. I feel like I have made friends and, as  I told them, my stay with them was much more interesting and cozy than it would have been staying in a hotel. Thanks again, Viviane and Michael! You are great hosts!"
6887725,49715991,2015-10-05,42618656,Rich,"Lauren and her boyfriend were awesome! They've got a great house and it's close to downtown. They made my stay in Austin feel like home, and I'd definitely stay with them again!"
6887725,50522319,2015-10-12,29242782,Star,"Lauren was flexible with our check-in and check-out timing which was nice. The listing was very accurate, her home was exactly as it was represented in the photos. The neighborhood is a mix of older and newer homes, which means a mix of established and new residents. I found it helpful to have a car in this location. I would definitely stay with her again when I visit Austin. "
6887725,52240359,2015-10-27,11886209,Dana,"Lauren is the perfect host. We had an e-mail dialog before I arrived. Upon entering the house, everything was as discribed. I was shown the layout of the house, my sleeping quarters, laundry facilities, upper deck, etc. My plans for that weekend were very busy and full, therefore did not spend much time at the home. My hosts, in my opinion, went above and beyond what I was expecting from the contract. When I return to Austin, I will definately consider this location my base. It is  close to downtown. If others ask about where to stay in Austin, this host is highly recommended! A ""FIVE"" star!"
4117584,46997907,2015-09-14,43686226,Kevin,Great views of the lake... Very easy to access everything around lake Travis and still close enough to downtown. Great outdoor space! Perfect!

8570405,51948281,2015-10-25,45462963,Dan,Claire was wonderful.  The condo was great.  Claire was super fast to respond to all questions and she made sure we had everything we needed.  Condo was very clean and comfortable.  The area was safe and the parking was gated.  Would stay here again in a second!!
5510324,29589844,2015-04-09,30563521,Henry,"What a place! Amazing colors, a compact self contained home that still managed to feel spacious and open. Fun little details too, I felt like I could play with the blinds all day and night. Wonderfully comfortable bed. Location in the center of east austin, not too far to get where you want to be. The host, Grace, has a wholesome massage practice as well which I would highly recommend. Jacuzzi, big yard, super friendly dogs, pool table access... I could go on and on and on. "
5510324,36668026,2015-06-30,9028672,Jenal,This home is super cute! So colorful and bright! It was the perfect size for me and my dog. I had everything that I needed. There were a few dog friendly parks within walking distance and a lot of great restaurants in the area. Grace was always available and super helpful with advice on where to go and what to do in Austin. Cute place! Definitely recommend this spot!
5510324,42203299,2015-08-11,13562406,Alexis,"We felt incredibly welcomed into Grace's home. The house was adorable and had everything we needed, not to mention in a central location to anything you could want. While the heat was brutal outside, the house was extremely cool and airy inside. The bathroom area is marvelous! And as new transplants to the Austin area, Grace made us feel at home and offered multiple and helpful suggestions on housing, food, drinks and, even succulents! We can't wait to start our Austin adventure and were so delighted to have it start here. "
5510324,43845546,2015-08-22,41017793,Rune,"Very nice house located close to centrum of Austin. The house was new and we enjoyed to live there. The hosts Grace, Joe and Jane were all very kind and made sure we enjoyed our stay at their place. "
5510324,50065311,2015-10-09,5946887,Samantha,"Grace and her family were fantastic hosts. Always available and very helpfull.
This little house is actually bigger than it looks, perfect for 2 or 3 people. Nice kitchen, comfy bed, spacious bathroom... Good vibe :) You'll find everything thing you need. 
Quiet and nice neighborhood, very close to downtown. The perfect place to rest and to enjoy this fantastic city!"
5510324,50501277,2015-10-12,34055076,Ryan,"My girlfriend and I loved staying here! Walking distance to a lot of fun places to eat and get drinks and a very cheap UBER ride to everything else Austin has to offer. This was a really fun stay with an amazing host, would absolutely stay again! "
5510324,50947343,2015-10-16,13636662,Julie,"Love this place! Clean, comfortable and I love the crazy art.  The air conditioner were amazing, silent yet kept the space very comfortable"
5510324,51767499,2015-10-24,17413490,LuAnn,The Blue Boy was  as bright inside as out.  I enjoyed my stay and would love to return.  It is very conveniently located near UT in a East Austin neighborhood that is in transition but comfortable with easy walks to great coffee and a juice bar.  Grace was readily available from her green house next door if there were questions or I needed directions. Thank you for a great stay.   
5510324,52799811,2015-11-01,294686,Nicole,"I booked the Blue Boy for a weekend stay in Austin with a couple friends and it was totally perfect: very clean, well organised, good location, quiet, plenty of room, and super friendly hosts. Grace and her partner were really welcoming, very flexible about check-in/out times, and gave us tons of great suggestions for places to eat, hang, and party (we arrived Halloween weekend with no firm plans and ended up at a fantastic party they suggested that we never would have found on our own). I would definitely recommend staying here and would love to come back!"
5510324,53096392,2015-11-04,20232924,Lauren,"Such a fun trip! And the Blue Boy made for an excellent home base. Grace and Joe were so awesome and welcoming and accommodating, even had beers ready upon our arrival.They know their hood and Austin well and recommended some amazing places - we ate and drank well on our short stay to this cool and weird city. The house was just as pictured - even roomier and everything is new and squeaky clean. The bathroom was especially awesome - rain shower, warm fan for getting out toasty - excellent! The spot is a little bit farther out of city center in an up and coming area but cheap uber rides abound. And we rented bikes from East Side Pedal Pushers (highly recommend too) and cruised the city that way. Nearby hangs/eats include (but aren't limited to) Full Circle, The Wheel, Haymaker, Bennu, el Chilito, and (a bit of a walk but worth it) Hillside Farmacy. Convenient, cool, and a part of Austin that's off-the-beaten path for sure. "
1494162,7763011,2013-10-01,6962648,Meggan,"We had a great experience with Erica at turnkey. The place had modern, ""Austin"" decor in a great location within walking distance to lots of restaurants off of 1st street and south congress. Any issues/questions we had (only minor) were responded to promptly. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay at this propriety again. "
1494162,11010205,2014-03-17,8302971,Michael,"Great house that was clean, set up nicely and quiet.  We were doing very small music writing sessions and the main room worked well for this.  The rental agent was extremely attentive and easy to work with.  Thanks for letting us stay there during SXSW.  It was really great and an easy walk to anything in South Austin- even to downtown."
1494162,13969247,2014-06-09,7646642,Niko,This house was everything it advertised. From the unique code on the front door so that you didn't have to hassle with meeting with the owner to get the keys to the comfortable beds and spacious living room. It couldn't have been more perfect for our weekend trip. 
1494162,18873581,2014-09-02,7091203,Robert,The accommodations were well maintained and provided all the amenities listed.  
1494162,20082788,2014-09-23,16209514,Lilly,"Gorgeous house! Esp the master bed and bath. We fit 5 people comfortably here, my daughter slept on the futon in the hallway and was not disturbed. Well supplied kitchen, towels, etc. The carport easily accommodates 2 cars tandem, but street parking was not a problem either. Walking distance to Torchy's Tacos and amazing breakfast tacos. We walked once to South Congress, but the heat was too much, and we had to drive the next time. Nearby Elizabeth St cafe is pricey but delicious. Someone from the house was available 24/7 by telephone to answer questions. The remote control to the TV was broken when we arrived, and the team was immediate to respond. They couldn't fix it during our trip (much to the dismay of our child), but it was not a big deal. Would absolutely love to stay here again if we come back to Austin. The house is clean, beautiful, modern, and stocked full of amenities."

The neighborhood is in a great part of Austin with easy access to wonderful food trucks, restaurants, and shops. It is quiet and we felt super safe. We highly recommend this house and would definitely like to stay here again."
1494162,35120012,2015-06-15,24691016,Camille,"The house was in a great location with many food trucks and shops within walking distance. Downtown was also just a short Uber ride away! 
The house was very clean as well. 

There were a few small details that were overlooked (no batteries in games, ice machine not working, smoke alarm beeping bc it was dying). However, overall we had a great experience. The TurnKey group was very responsive and helpful when reached by phone. I would not recommend messaging them via AirBnb. "

She made sure we had everything we needed, and was always available and happy to help when we had questions. We were all very comfortable staying here and definitely felt welcomed. Her place was a great size for us, and it was an absolutely perfect location. It is close to downtown and South Congress, and there are so many great places within walking distance. We absolutely loved staying here! "

The house was clean upon arrival and he was available to assist with questions throughout our stay. On our last day, Trey took us biking down to Barton Springs and it was nice to spend some time getting to know him. All in all we had a wonderful stay and appreciate Trey's hospitality! "
5535592,31849929,2015-05-10,15938731,Olivia,"We had the best stay in Austin in this cute house! Trey was a great host, and made us feel welcome and taken care of. The house is ideal and the location is excellent! Couldn't have been better for the five of us staying. We didn't want to leave!"
5535592,35054877,2015-06-14,16337285,Mo,"When Airbnb would not let us book super last-minute (same day at 9p), and after hearing how much we needed a place to stay, Trey came through in the clutch, and made us feel extremely welcome even though we were all disheveled and tired from multiple layovers.

The house was perfect, and walking distance from South Congress street (though I'd recommend taking a lyft). All the positive vibes for Trey and this house!"
5535592,35425006,2015-06-18,35493386,Greg,Trey is very friendly and welcoming. The house is as described and in a great neighborhood. He was also readily available and easy to contact incase I needed anything. Highly recommended and would book again!
5535592,51306870,2015-10-19,43509710,Jordan,"Place was great ,and Trey was friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend."
7422090,39887654,2015-07-26,39192392,Christina,"For a first Airbnb experience, I couldn't have been happier with our choice! We were incredibly exhausted from the day, so when we arrived we were literally ready to just crash out, but Richard was incredibly welcoming and provided us with all that we needed for a comfortable stay. I love the laid back environment. The art on the wall is like a cool, mini exhibit. His stories of working on television sets as well as his sweet & adorable pups were just an added bonus! I would definitely come back to stay at Richard's next time we're in Austin!"
7422090,42728807,2015-08-15,16835291,Phillip,"Richard was an excellent host and his dogs are the coolest. We had a great time when we stayed two weeks and there were no complaints on our end. He was really helpful when looking for some cool stuff to do and he has a great entertainment center that we used frequently.

I would definitely stay with him again."
7422090,49604079,2015-10-05,34241351,Karla,"We stayed with Richard during ACL and had a great experience. He was welcoming and helping out with our questions. The place was as described, the room clean and comfortable- would stay again!"
7422090,50441887,2015-10-12,37905070,Holly,"Richard was very welcoming and made our stay easy and enjoyable.  He was friendly when I texted him in a panic a few days before our stay because I had a broken foot and needed to ensure there weren't any stairs to his place.  He was also very helpful when we got into town, calling when we were close to give us better directions than our GPS.  He was friendly and cool the whole time we were there.  Plus, his two adorable dogs were a bonus."
7422090,52104444,2015-10-26,21709115,Chris,Had a great time staying with Richard over the weekend. He's an awesome host and very accommodating. His dogs are a couple of the best Hangout buddies you can find too. The apartment is in a quiet complex and I always felt like the neighborhood was safe to walk around. A variety of food within walking distance or a really short car ride. Uber was usually a 5 minute wait or less and only about a 10 minute ride to downtown. Overall it was a great place to stay and you can't ask for a better host than Richard. 
733078,3774816,2013-03-13,747531,Brian,"We had an amazing time at the Ranchette. The place is super cool. Really felt like a home away from home...relaxing and comfortable. The outdoor space was beautiful. Our host was as kind as can be, and all our communication was very positive and clear. This couldn't have gone better and we're grateful for the experience. I would highly recommend a stay at a Ranchette if it fits your needs."
363040,1020358,2012-03-19,1019514,Sonya,"Had a very nice stay at the Zilker Guesthouse!  Was very easy to book and organize our trip; house was spacious, clean and in a nice neighborhood!    Looking forward to our next stay there when we are in Austin again!"
363040,3398692,2013-01-22,332425,Scott,"Super awesome location.  Short walk to daily juice,  Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and downtown.  Clean room with large windows and plenty of useful furniture."
363040,3440023,2013-01-29,2555001,Lourdes,Very clean. Host very available and attentive
363040,3576186,2013-02-18,3914746,Preston,"Daniel was a terrific host. Everything was ready when we arrived and was very clean. He even allowed us to bring our dog with us!

The room is much larger than the pictures show and was very comfortable. The bathroom was large enough for two people to use at once. The room is located very close to everything you could ever want in Austin. 

We would definitely stay here again when we go back to Austin!"
363040,3627578,2013-02-26,4961747,Richard,"We really enjoyed the Festival Suite at the Zilker Guesthouse.  The bed was comfortable and provided good support for my often aching back, and the room was quiet and not overwhelmed with sunlight in the morning (two very important qualities for me).  The bathroom is aesthetically and functionally fantastic.  And the neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located.

Daniel was a great host; he provided us bottled water as well as several Austin entertainment / cultural publications so we would have an easy time planning our weekend!  He stayed in the main house while we were there and was very quiet and respectful of our privacy.  My only regret is that I was not able to spend any time getting to know his two dachshunds (they’re so cute)!

I highly recommend the Zilker Guesthouse Festival Suite if you’re looking for a small, comfortable and convenient place to stay while you’re in Austin!"
363040,3813303,2013-03-18,1037140,Miranda,"I had a very nice stay at Daniel's house. He was very friendly and the suite was clean and cozy. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin. The Zilker area is just great -- lovely residential area near a few cute restaurants and bars and its an easy walk to buses downtown.

Thanks for a perfect stay, Daniel!!"
363040,4128045,2013-04-12,376502,David,"When I visit Austin again I look forward to staying at Daniel's Festival Suite. Daniel is a helpful and gracious host. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. Dan was a great resource with information about his neighborhood and Austin in general. Dan's home is in an excellent location in the very desirable south Austin neighborhood known by its zip code - 78704. The home is within a 5-to-15 minute drive from everywhere a tourist or visitor will want to go, which is very important in Austin. The home has easy access to two major north/south streets - Lamar and Congress - plus three major east/west streets - Oltorf, Riverside and Cesar Chavez. These streets provide easy access to downtown and central Austin, plus convenient access to major freeways, including Mopac (Rt.1), Interstate 35 and the Ben White Expressway (Rt. 71.) The Festival Suite is well laid out, comfortable and spacious. The suite has a private entrance, a beautiful private bath, a kitchenette and the bedroom does double duty because of the murphy bed. The room makes a comfortable bedroom when the bed is folded down. With the bed folded up, the room is a pleasant living area with a desk, dining table and sofa. The murphy bed is very comfortable and incredibly easy to raise/lower.   "
363040,4188598,2013-04-16,5760286,Katelyn,"We had a great 4 night stay at the Zilker Guesthouse.  The room was spacious and efficient.  I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities in the room: hair dryer, iron, suitcase holder, knives and cutting boards, silverware, cups/plates and many others.  The location was great for getting quickly to and from Zilker park and Barton springs.  It was a bit of walk to nearest bus stop, but doable in flip flops or flats.  We were able to get a cab back from 6th Street for $10-15 plus tip.  We also had a rental car and were able to have off-street parking for our stay which was great! Daniel gave us a great orientation, but we didn't see him for the rest of our trip.  We felt that we had a lot of privacy in the room.  And we  were happy to see his adorable dachshund a few times running around the backyard.  "
363040,4256392,2013-04-22,5042032,Michelle,"Daniel was an excellent host and was very accommodating given that we arrived extremely late. He was friendly, warm and very helpful if we ever needed anything. My one gripe would be the bed that wasn't adorned with the the comfiest of pillows. I'm probably just a pillow snob, but it was definitely tolerable. Also, toiletries were not included, but Daniel provided us with shampoo and conditioner whenever I asked him about it. It may have just been an oversight on our part since we thought it would all be included.

All in all, Daniel was the picture perfect host and did everything to best meet our needs. Thanks for a great stay, Daniel!"
363040,4337946,2013-04-29,5354967,Corey,"Thanks to Daniel and his accomodations, my girlfriend and I were able to really relax and have a pleasant stay in Austin. Its close enough to catch a cheap cab ride into downtown but also far enough from the downtown traffic to hop in your own vehicle and enjoy the surrounding areas. Great place!  Thanks Daniel.   "
363040,4483263,2013-05-07,6091092,Judith,"The location was very convenient and quiet.  For walkers, there is a lot that is accessible on foot and the unit is in a nice residential area for exercise walkers.  Parks and trails are also nearby within a short drive.  The unit size was fine for a couple, especially since the Murphy bed made the unit work like an efficiency.  Private entrance is comfortable access.  The host was very accommodating but unobtrusive. 

"
363040,4611024,2013-05-15,5450921,Jim,"The Zilker Guesthouse - Festival Suite is great value for money.  If you are looking for a quiet, clean & simple place to rest and relax after your busy days in Austin, then I highly recommend Festival Suite.  It was just perfect for my needs for the week I was in Austin.  This was my first visit to Austin and Dan was just the guy I needed to give me advice on what to do, where to eat and where to shop.  He also turned me on to the car2go service in Austin which is also worth checking out.  All in all, Dan is a gracious host and the Festival Suite suited my needs perfectly.  I would stay there again."
363040,4732366,2013-05-22,5589752,Nick,Daniel was an excellent host and had the suite all ready for us upon arrival.  The fresh flowers and guide book were a nice touch.  The suite was very clean and nicely updated.  It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood close to Barton Springs.  There is plenty of places within walking distance and S Congress was a short drive away.  Daniel was always there if we had any questions but also gave us all the privacy we wanted.  I would definitely recommend Daniel as a host and the Festival suite if you are staying in Austin.
363040,4816860,2013-05-27,6119614,Alexander,"Daniel was a wonderfully warm and accommodating host, even after our flight into Austin was delayed for 5 hours and we arrived in a panic, trying to make it to a wedding that started 15 minutes from the time we arrived at Daniel's front door.  He saved our entire trip by finding us a cab, and we arrived at the ceremony just as the couple was walking up to the altar.  Daniel, we owe you big!  And the guest suite is lovely; very clean, with a comfortable bed and a gorgeous, newly remodeled bathroom.  Thank you for a great weekend, Daniel, and happy trails!"
363040,5091031,2013-06-11,6641930,Desiree,"Very comfortable!  Daniel was an excellent host.  Nice area.  Very clean, safe and accommodating.  "
363040,5567069,2013-07-06,3327739,Courtney,Checking on with Daniel was easy. He was very informative. The place was perfect for my stay. It was very close to everything and even in waking distance to so many places which made getting around easy. Great host with wonderful accommodations. 
363040,5774640,2013-07-15,1499290,Darby,"Daniel was a fantastic host--friendly and hospitable. My parents very much enjoyed their stay at his place. Great location, quiet neighborhood, clean bedroom and bathroom. Thanks so much!"
363040,7084910,2013-09-05,836983,Marco,"Daniels place was very nice clean and comfortable, i would definitely recommend to others,  thank you soo much!"
363040,7403658,2013-09-18,8672349,Josh,"Daniel was very hospitable, and at the same time let us do our own thing! great experience. "
363040,7644895,2013-09-28,8064697,Amir,"I had a great time staying at the guesthouse. The place was clean and had a comfortable bed and a great shower. Daniel is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He helped me a lot with knowing my way around the city and showed a genuine care for me. As someone who visited for the first time in the US and wasn't familiar with some of the customs, I couldn׳t have asked for a better host."
363040,7958221,2013-10-10,5187119,Kellie,"This apartment was perfect. It had everything that I as a solo traveler needed. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom is spacious, clean, and beautiful. The location is very convenient; I didn't have a car but I was able to walk to wonderful and popular restaurants and bars on South Lamar. Bus lines were also close by for anywhere else I needed to go.
Daniel was a very friendly host who was always available to give me information if I needed it. I would definitely recommend this space to friends, and I would definitely stay here again. The experience was perfect.  "
363040,8077471,2013-10-15,3962250,Tiffany,Daniel was an excellent host. Great neighborhood close to everything.  Daniel gave us a great recommendation for breakfast.  He also provided us with a delicious bowl of fresh fruit.  We would definitely stay with Daniel again!
363040,8386984,2013-10-28,4308075,Sarah,"The positive reviews of the Zilker Suite are misleading. Cleanliness of the unit is average at best. The TV in the (adjacent) main house is right next to the head of the murphy bed in the suite, so you can literally hear every word through the wall. On our stay, the TV didn't turn off until midnight. I also had to kill a cockroach at least 3 inches long in the bathroom. Between the roach and the TV, I was so frustrated, I told Daniel we needed to leave. He did refund our 2nd night's stay, but also specifically asked that we not review him on this site, which I believe is a disservice to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, quiet place to stay in Austin. I love the city, and Daniel was a nice guy, but I would not recommend this place to anyone."
363040,8619354,2013-11-08,9805864,DeAnne,"This is an excellent place to stay while in Austin.  I thoroughly enjoyed my visit  and hope to return there.  The accommodations were clean, well appointed and just perfect for what we needed while there.  The patio was a delight and the four daschunds I met there were most charming.  Dan is a very friendly host whose aim is to make sure his clients are happy and comfortable in their surroundings.  It is so much nicer than a hotel or motel.  It makes you feel as if you're at home, with all amenities within your reach!  Dan also has a wonderful knowledge of places to see in Austin.  I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to enjoy the charm of Austin without the atmosphere of a hotel or motel.   When I return to Austin, I am planning to stay there again!!"
363040,8741525,2013-11-15,4810340,Chisato,"The best place to stay in Austin..!! I am traveling a lot, but it is not easy to find great guest house like Daniel's house:-)))))!!!!!!
Room is clean, comfortable, bathroom is beautiful, free drinks, welcome fruits!!!! Daniel listens our question 24 hours, He helped us a lot!!!!! He made us happy and smile while we are staying, and feel like come back soon :-))))!!!!!  I super recommend this guest house :-))) Neighbors are also quiet and peaceful.... :-))))!!!
"
363040,8806880,2013-11-18,9973541,Lauren,Quaint guest suite in the heart of South Austin. Would definitiely stay again and would recommend to anyone visiting Austin. 
363040,9826660,2014-01-13,9637802,Linda,"My experience was very good.  Daniel is a gracious host.  I stayed approximately 5-6 weeks while waiting for my new home to be finished.  During my stay, my mother was diagnosed with brain cancer and while I was with her at the hospital, Daniel volunteered to feed my dog and take her for walks.  I would recommend his place to anyone who wants a quiet, clean and well located stay."
363040,10127020,2014-02-01,9759297,Peter,"I had to find a place for a few nights at short notice.  Daniel responded very quickly to confirm things.  I did have a slight reservation about a pull down bed, but let me tell you it was very comfortable.  In fact more comfortable than most hotel beds I've slept in.  Daniel also very kindly had an extra fan heater warming the room for my arrival.  Yes, a heater!  My stay was over a few days where it was arctic conditions in Austin.  Would highly recommend."
363040,10189368,2014-02-04,6027840,Jeff,"Daniel's place is great! I booked very last minute and didn't check in until 11pm. He was very accommodating. The room met all of my expectations. Most important to me is location, and this place is in a great neighborhood in South/central Austin; literally close to everything. You won't be disappointed. "
363040,10305677,2014-02-11,8900935,Philippe,"Nice and clean room. fantastic location close to Zilker Park, great and eclectic cafe, juice bar and restaurants. Daniel was a lovely host.  "
363040,10797564,2014-03-08,11815790,Gaelen,"Daniel's space was very accommodating.  The place was conveniently located in a quiet neighborhood near lots of restaurants and a giant park.  Not too far from downtown either, just a 10 minute bus ride.

He was a great host too.  He saved us a pamphlet on the kite festival and offered to get us some things for other baby before we even arrived.  Once there, he checked in on us from time to time to see if there was anything we needed.

The actual room was much better than the hotel I stayed at last time in Austin.  It had plenty of space, a mini fridge, washer and dryer, all the things you would expect.

We're already planning to book again next time we are in Austin."
363040,10873120,2014-03-11,6637831,Drew,"Daniel was extremely flexible- my wife and I were delayed and did not arrive until very late in the evening, and it was no problem for Daniel. The suite was private, and comfortable. Daniel has done a lot of work to make what once was a carport into a beautiful bedroom. The bathroom is a work of art, and we had no problems whatsoever. Sadly, the Zilker kite festival was cancelled. Had It been nicer outside, we could've walked to zilker park. Daniel provided clean towels, sheets, a comfy bed, free wifi, TV, fruits, yogurt, coffee, and pretty much anything we could've needed! It is a great place for a couple to stay, for a few nights or a whole week! Make sure and drive to Bouldin Creek Cafe, it's a mile or so away and has the best coffee, get a Lavender Latte! "
363040,11046762,2014-03-18,5636816,Karen,"Our stay in the Zilker Festival Suite was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Daniel was a very friendly, welcoming, and kind host who was very communicative and always ready to answer any questions or quick to accommodate requests we had. The room & bathroom were very generous in size and clean, so we were very comfortable as a party of 4. Along with other amenities like the super fast wireless, microwave, fridge/freezer, and cable TV, it was a very relaxing place to chill out from the SXSW madness. The Zilker neighborhood is awesome full of character and a short walk to other cool areas like Bouldin Creek. With a close-ish walk to the 3 and 338, it was also relatively easy getting around and to downtown. Overall, I would definitely stay here for any future Austin trips! Thanks Daniel!
"
363040,11188090,2014-03-24,12649136,Eric,"Daniel and his daschunds were as friendly as can be during our stay. Additionally, the South Austin location was perfect -- we were close enough to events and activities, but not in the middle of it.

Thank you for your hospitality."
363040,11363423,2014-03-31,11706126,Sarah,"sweet space, clean, private, quiet.  daniel was an accommodating host.   great location.   i would definitely stay there again.  "
363040,11569372,2014-04-07,288958,Michael,"The Zilker festival suite was perfect for our quick weekend getaway with our 2 month old baby. The place is close to Lamar blvd where there are tons of places to eat and see. The Zilker park is perfect for picnics and also there are plenty of museums to visit. The place is clean and have good space for 2 adults. The murphy bed is surprisingly comfortable as well. The bathroom is spacious enough with good water pressure. Daniel has been a great host especially with us booking the place in short notice. He gave us a tour of the place and how to use some of the amenities. He also made sure we have the basics that we for our little one, which is a nice touch. His place is peaceful and safe. We would definitely book this place again in the future. "
363040,11867980,2014-04-17,13581635,Bob,"The Zilker Festival Suite was perfect for us. It is between Zilker Park and SoCo, and most importantly near our son. It is the right size for a couple, in a very quiet neighborhood that is easily accessible to downtown. The bed is good, the suite is clean, the shower is small, but all that we needed. And the host is kind and gracious. This is our first experience with airbnb, and it's a 5 star."
363040,12024633,2014-04-21,2832928,Neish,"Daniel was a great host. He was accommodating to our late (1 am!) arrival. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He had placed a fresh fruit bowl in the refrigerator when we arrived and even gave us some of his freshly baked muffins for our long drive back. His place is great - the bed is comfortable, the bathroom is beautiful with Mexican marble and the room has everything else you need. It is close to all the attractions in Austin which made it perfect for us. Thank you Daniel for such a wonderful experience. If we're ever in Austin again there's no doubt that we'll be staying here. "
363040,12799828,2014-05-11,14979576,David,"Daniel was very kind and a great host while I visited Austin. The suite was very clean and matched exactly to its description online. Great location and walkable to everything I needed.

thanks!"
363040,13431255,2014-05-27,974522,Thanh,"Daniel was a gracious and accommodating host. We are looking to relocate to the area and he shared plenty of knowledge and even contacts with us. As a host, he went above and beyond. His dogs are awesome as well. 

The suite itself had everything we needed. The bathroom was nice, the AC kept the room nice and cool and there were no issues with noise or anything from the street. A very nice, serene and convenient location. Highly recommended!"
363040,13757514,2014-06-03,4783063,Offer,"Stayed at the Zilker suite with my wife for a long weekend to explore Austin.  The accommodations were comfortable, the AC was fantastic, and the host, Daniel, was very gracious and helpful.  Recommended to all!"
363040,15317017,2014-07-07,6559157,Michelisa,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Daniel's suite for the 4th of July weekend. We couldn't have chosen a better spot. 

The property itself is welcoming - almost oasis-like - and has a beautiful backyard, where you can hang out with Daniel's adorable dogs! The backyard is gated, keeping them out of your way if puppies aren't your thing though (we suggest you give these guys a shot though :) ).

Our room had everything we needed. There's no kitchen, but there was a mini fridge where we had the option to store leftovers from one of the many fantastic nearby restaurants. (We highly recommend Odd Duck!) The murphy bed was comfortable and had enough closet space for two people, and the bathroom was clean with tons of counter space for all of your toiletries. The Samsung TV with cable lends nicely to winding down after a long day of exploring the city.

As for Daniel, he was a great, responsive, and accommodating host. As with previous guests, he was kind enough to leave us a fruit bowl in our fridge, which we devoured. (Thanks so much for giving that to us, by the way, Daniel!)

We'd stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend that you do too!"
363040,15843070,2014-07-16,6885730,Guy,"I had lived in Austin years ago and always wanted to live in Zilker area.  What a treat this was!  Daniel was a great host, kind and informative.  I enjoyed talking with him about south america and Mexico, and the world.  The Zilker Suite is in a great location, in a neighbor hood overlooking Zilker park. During my morning walks everyone was friendly, we almost everyone, it was like stepping back in my past.  The  Suite was very nicely done, comfortable, and clean.  The tiled bathroom a treat!  I hope to stay there again and recommend it to you all."
363040,16518246,2014-07-28,3105486,Adam,"Daniel was an outstanding host. The place was meticulously clean, and had details down to the extension cord reaching the bed to plug you laptop/ cell phone into.  Bottled water in the fridge, bathrooms complete with soap- it was more like a hotel. Small space, but not cramped. The nicest/ newest washer dryer I've ever seen. Great area- walking distance to Zilker park and shops/ food in SOLA (South Lamar). Would definitely stay again."
363040,17399206,2014-08-11,15396767,Corey,Daniel was a great host! The listing was exactly we needed! We will definitely stay here again next time we make it to Austin! Perfect location!!
363040,19071250,2014-09-06,1694069,Dave,"Daniel is a warm host and has done a great job of making the most of his comfortable and cozy space. Feels like home with nice little hotel-type touches. Mattress was firm with a nice give.

I plan on staying here again when I return to Austin. "
363040,20891612,2014-10-07,560722,Juliette,Daniel was a great host and very friendly.  Although it was our third trip to Austin he gave us amazing restaurant and general recommendations.  The place is very clean and comfortable and very close to Zilker Park.  We enjoyed our stay here!
363040,21275585,2014-10-14,11726086,Kendra,"Daniel was the perfect host! This was our second stay and it is absolutely the perfect spot to stay in Austin...not just for ACL and SXSW but it's centrally located and easy to get to SoCo, UT and all the fun spots. Great fun spots on Barton Springs and the famous Barton Springs pool is walking distance. The accommodations are great, large bathroom and comfy bed. They provide a small fridge, micro and all the little things you will need. We will definitely stay there again!"
363040,22358999,2014-11-04,18568719,Kunal,"We stayed with Daniel for 3 days in late Oct '14. 

For starters, Daniel was extremely prompt in replying to our enquiries prior to the actual booking, and was welcoming in any changes we made - including having our young daughter accompany us at the last moment. 

Besides of course providing the acco itself, we found him to be helpful in arranging for an airport pickup - and in fact, when we had a problem with the cab he'd organised, he drove all the way to San Antonio himself! In a car packed with thoughtful bonuses like cold face towels and soft drinks! 

The suite itself, to be honest, was somewhat smaller than it appeared in the online pics, but was clean, comfortable and well appointed with all the necessities, plus a few frills like freshly made fruit salad. 

As a host, Daniel was friendly, funny, helpful and ensured we were well looked after, giving us informative tips on Austin and even going out of his way to drive us around a couple of times.

All in all, we had a very pleasant stay with a very pleasant fella!"
363040,26625866,2015-02-16,21097873,Roddy,"Daniel is a great host. He is accommodating, nice, and friendly. He went above and beyond by giving us a nice bottle of wine and some delicious homemade cupcakes for my girlfriend and I (it was Valentine's weekend). 

The place itself is a nice and cozy suite (""Festive Suite"") attached to Daniel's house. We enjoyed complete privacy during our stay. The suit comes with anything you would want for a weekend getaway (bathroom, shower, bed, sofa, T.V., Wi-Fi, some toiletries, small refrigerator, microwave, and dishes and utensils). The place was spotless clean too.

The location is great. About a 20 minute walk from Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park. It is a quiet and serene neighborhood. 

We also had the pleasure of enjoying some of the dogs Daniel has. Since we are both animal lovers we were thrilled, but if you do not share the same appreciation for pets do not worry -- the dogs are mostly in the backyard patio so you do not have to interact with them if you do not want to. 

Looking forward to staying at the Festive Suite again!"
363040,26790452,2015-02-19,26715733,Jesus,"I felt most welcomed by Daniel and the Zilker Suite. Daniel was was easy to contact and was most accommodating, including an early check in, giving a quick tour around town and holding my bags after checkout since I had a late outbound flight. The room itself was as advertised, and included a ton of amenities.  Overall, I didn't have to worry about a thing, which is perfect when traveling. "
363040,27103479,2015-02-25,27272061,Jeanette,Daniel was a great host.  We stayed for 5 days and felt at home.  The bed is comfy and spacious.  It's a great neighborhood to stay in and centrally located to nearby restaurants.
363040,27682646,2015-03-09,3322322,Alex,"Perfect place for a long weekend. Private, cozy, great location. Couldn't have asked for more. Everything you needed was at your disposal. "
363040,27846203,2015-03-13,26581020,Kat,"Daniel had a friend available to greet me upon my arrival since he was out of town. Everything was ready and waiting for me.  A comfortable stay, even when the weather had me shut in a few days due to rain. I was here on work and the room allowed me to set up things to do lots of work.  Slept great.  Hope to return in a few months.  Thanks Daniel.  "
363040,28158969,2015-03-19,1793749,Jonathan,"Daniel was a very kind host and went the extra mile to provide a few thoughtful touches in the suite such as snacks and even a great local beer. I was down for SXSW so was barely at the place but it was an ideal spot to unwind (and catch up on sleep!) during my time in Austin. It's in a quiet residential area and even without a car was well-situated to two bus routes and some restaurants off nearby Barton Springs (try Shady Grove for a lovely beer/bite outside), South Lamar (the food at Odd Duck was amazing), and 1st streets (Daniel recommended a great veggie spot: Bouldin Creek Cafe). The space itself is small but comfortable, and your own entrance and bathroom help give some privacy. Overall a good stay. "
363040,28459926,2015-03-24,12937195,Chris,"My wife and I stayed in the Zilker Festival Suite for our visit to Austin during SXSW week - a time when accommodation in Austin is expensive.  The suite is the smaller of the accommodations offered by Daniel on his property and  comprises a bedroom with a Murphy bed, an en suite and a microwave and fridge. While ""cosy"" it was more than adequate for our needs and at the right price and Daniel was a perfect host providing us with a kettle and toaster. The location in Zilker is perfect for a visit to Austin. "
363040,30808851,2015-04-27,15999945,Emily,"Daniel made us feel very welcome, we were there for two short days and when we arrived he greeted us with excitement. He also showed us around and made sure we had everything we needed. It was clean and easy!"
363040,33148892,2015-05-25,32703908,Carolyn,"My host met us and showed us around the property. He introduced us to his cute dogs, too. The room was clean and well furnished. Despite the terrible amount of rain and the tornado warning, the room sustained no leaks or damage. "
363040,33876733,2015-06-01,34370643,Misty,"Daniel was a fantastic host. He gave us a tour of the property and we got to meet his lovely dogs, who are equally as friendly! The property was nice, clean and provided all of the things necessary for our stay. The neighborhood was fantastic, quiet and close to everything. I will definitely use his property again in the future. "
363040,35127923,2015-06-15,10722086,Pat,"      My husband & I had an all-too-short stay in Daniel Komer’s well-pointed & immaculate studio apartment.  It has a separate entrance & easy parking.  Inside, there is everything one could want: wifi microwave, coffeemaker, TV, super-nice bathroom with easily accessible shower (that is, not in a bathtub that a person has to step over), & more.  One reason I wanted to stay at Daniel’s accommodation was the Murphy Bed, which lowers from cabinet storage in the wall.  It is a proper queen bed & very comfortable.  So the apartment can be a living room as well as a bedroom.  It is located in a quiet neighborhood where we enjoyed walking. Overall great value for money.
Daniel himself is a warm, welcoming, gracious host who has clearly thought through the comfort of visitors.  There is a garden behind the house that is available to guests.  He has four dogs who are friendly but not overwhelming—indeed, we did not hear them bark the entire time we were there.  
We highly recommend Daniel’s accommodation!
"
363040,36055204,2015-06-24,35496649,Cody,"My girlfriend and I could not be happier with the Zilker festival suite. Plenty of room, wonderful amenities and a comfortable bed! Daniel could not have been more hospitable. Covered our bikes to protect them from the rain, and greeted us with a warm smile whenever our paths crossed.  The neighborhood is quiet yet close to everything. A hop , skip, and a jump from Barton Springs and South Lamar! "
363040,36712689,2015-06-30,2794140,Julie,Daniel is a welcoming host and around if you need him.  The location is great and the place was clean.
363040,43172807,2015-08-17,18044124,William,"I stayed in Daniel's studio for three nights while visiting relatives nearby.  The apartment is just as described on the website.  He met me at the door, showed me the unit, and was responsive when I had questions.  The Murphy bed is easy to use and comfortable.  The room is large enough that it can be left down if desired, but it was so easy to put back up, that's what I did.  The bathroom is small, but functional.  The location is great for access to south Austin activities.  I liked being able to walk two blocks to the neighborhood market for just about anything."
363040,47706818,2015-09-21,40780628,Diane,"I couldn't be happier with my experience in Austin at the Zilker Festival Suite.  Daniel was the perfect host:  attentive without being intrusive, warm, friendly and very welcoming.  He has four adorable dogs but in my 5 days there, I never heard or saw them except when I went into the backyard to meet them.  The room has a mini fridge and Daniel had stocked it with fruit, yogurt, soda and water.  In addition, there was a basket of goodies on the table that contained cookies, crackers, pretzels and other snacks.  A microwave and coffee maker (with coffee, creamer and sugar) were also provided along with plates, cups, utensils, wine glasses and a corkscrew.  The room itself is very well organized and with its casual decor, nice flat screen TV, and very comfortable Murphy bed, was a great ""home away from home"".  The bathroom is large and well-appointed, and like the rest of the space, was spotlessly clean.  And on top of all of that, Daniel had  bouquets of fresh flowers in the main room and in the bathroom.  Lovely touch!  The neighborhood is cute and quiet and very near to plenty of things to do.  This was my first Airbnb experience but thanks to my wonderful time at Daniel's, it won't be the last."
363040,48158652,2015-09-23,22499489,Nik,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
363040,49066148,2015-09-30,44852547,Mariella,Our stay in Austin was great thanks to Daniel! He was so helpful in directing us where to go and also giving us a map. It was a clean quaint room and perfect for us! I totally recommend you to stay here and be in a comfortable atmosphere. Also he has the most adorable pups that will just love you! 
363040,49767376,2015-10-06,1310819,William,Daniel went above and beyond. Welcomed us with a full fridge of snacks and a bottle of wine (all complimentary). He offered us ride when we went out and even made a fresh fruit salad for us one morning. All this and he was still a perfect non-intrusive host. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and the location could not be beat. In all an ideal place.  
363040,50612573,2015-10-13,22472949,Becky,"We had a terrific stay in Daniel's suite  and I highly recommend him as a host. Prior to our arrival he was communicative, and he greeted us when we arrived, showing us all the amenities of the suite and of his property. The suite itself was very comfortable and roomy, had a terrific bathroom, was clean and uncluttered, and stocked with beverages and snacks -- much more than we expected and very much appreciated. The bed was extremely comfortable and the AC was quiet and efficient. Daniel welcomed us to use his lovely and large backyard patio, which we did. The property was located on a quiet residential street a short walk to a major avenue with restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, etc. It was also a lovely mile-long walk to Zilker Park. I will be certain to reserve with Daniel on my next visit to Austin."
363040,52217358,2015-10-27,41661361,Megan,"Daniel was a fantastic host. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time in Austin, and very happy to have a nice clean place to rest every night. We appreciated all the kindness from Daniel during our stay. We will definitely be coming back for another visit and stay at the Zilker Festival Suite! :-) "
363040,52851754,2015-11-02,42945860,Alicia,"Dan was a stellar host. He is friendly and offers great suggestions for local food etc. He does a great job balancing being a friendly host but also giving you privacy. His dogs were sweet. His home is amazing. It is as advertised; actually better than advertised! You have your own door and plenty of privacy. We highly recommend staying here. Everything was super clean. There were extras available of blankets, towels, etc. The room was comfortable and felt like home. We felt safe and slept amazingly. It was so quiet and peaceful. Dan really takes pride in it and had so many details like drinks in the mini fridge and toiletries in the restroom. The neighborhood is beautiful and perfect distance to everything ""cool."" Dan's backyard common area is gorgeous and relaxing. He's done a great job with it.  This was well worth every penny and we plan on staying here again. "
1805494,11869780,2014-04-17,764154,Amanda,"This apartment is an absolute OASIS for writers or programmers.  I had several work deadlines and Joi’s place was the ideal tranquil location for writing/ programming/ working.  With all windows close there is near perfect silence. This is an ideal place for light sleepers.  I holed myself in that apartment, made phone calls, cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, and completed my deadlines without any disturbance.  The bed was comfortable, the bathroom had a wonderful surprise skylight that brought the perfect amount of natural day light in.  The title “garage apartment” does not give credit to the pristine construction of this location.  The floors, windows, kitchen and bathroom appliances were modern, clean and well built.  I took one of the bikes out the host provided.  DO heed their warning about the hills.  There is a huge hill drop on the way to Barton Springs road that is kinda scary, I just got off the bike and walked down.  I was extremely happy to know there was a JuiceLand off Barton Springs in walking distance.  I was able to load up on smoothies and juice in between my work sessions.  Love this place!"
1805494,12382309,2014-04-30,2131657,Philip,"This is a clean, modern efficiency with a nice bathroom/shower and added touches in the decor. My visitors to Austin really enjoyed themselves. It is very convenient to all that Austin has to offer. Super close to downtown and walking access to Barton Springs Pool, the hike/bike trail, South Lamar retail/restaurants, and the soon to be reopened Alamo Drafthouse/Highball. 

Plus, the owners provide guests with 2 townie bikes and locks for your convenience. For the hipsters visiting Austin that like to be close to the action with the benefit of a quiet neighborhood, it's perfect.

All in all a great deal, good communication, and very nice owners!

PS The one thing to be aware of is that guests have to walk up a full flight of steps to get to the apartment, so it would not be ideal for older folks with mobility issues. "
1805494,12936458,2014-05-14,10087072,Jennifer,"The place is just lovely, and the hosts were incredibly accommodating of our changing and last-minute scheduling needs.  "
1805494,13458509,2014-05-27,2265855,Mark,"I had a great experience booking the apartment for a quick weekend getaway. Perfect location south of downtown and right by Zilker park. The apartment was clean, quite and tastefully modern. Would absolutely stay here again."
1805494,22539244,2014-11-09,16984696,Lexi,"Myself and three others had a great experience at Joi's garage apartment. It was in a great location to attend Fun Fun Fun Fest at Auditorium Shores and was minutes from South Congress and lots of shops and restaurants. The apartment is very modern and clean. Loved the neighborhood as well, very quiet and safe. Joi provided some shampoos/conditioners and soaps, which was a nice touch. Great hosts. The sofa bed was also super comfortable. Definitely recommend. "
1805494,28740846,2015-03-29,19258307,Susan,"The garage apartment/studio is wonderful.  Nice, clean and modern.  It almost has a ""treehouse"" feel to it.  Joi was very accommodating.  We arrived late on a Friday, so she made sure to leave lights on for us.  She was quick to respond to our questions about wifi.  We found the apartment very convenient.  It was a beautiful day so we walked to Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail.  It does not have a TV, but we were rarely there so not a problem.  We would definitely stay here again.  "
1805494,29922893,2015-04-14,15759260,Sarah,"The flat was clean and beautiful, even nicer than in the pictures. Joi gave us clear directions on how to access the flat and was quick to respond to any queries. The neighbourhood is residential and quiet, the flat feels really private which I loved. Walking distance to Barton Springs for great swimming.. a must see!
We had an excellent trip and would certainly stay with Joi again."
1805494,33158342,2015-05-25,30298544,Megan,The place was great. Joi was kind and reached out during a bad storm to make sure we were ok and give us a flashlight in case the power went out. 
1805494,48141272,2015-09-23,3265521,Steffen,"I had a great stay at Joi's garage apt and even stayed longer than planned. The apt is very modern, bright and tastefully furnished and definitely a good pick for everyone with an interest in modern architecture. The location in a quiet residential area but close to good restaurants (e.g. South Lamar St), Barton Springs and Zilker Park is perfect. Joi is a great host and communication was very easy and quick. If I come visit Austin again I'd book this apt. again. "
1805494,48928254,2015-09-29,16458168,Emma,"Joi's apartment is so charming! This was a quiet, spacious studio with tons of light, and perfect for our stay in Austin. Joi was very helpful leading up to the stay and prompt to reply. Loved that it is so close to the Alamo Drafthouse!"
1805494,50657866,2015-10-13,26798377,Adam,Great place to stay. Walked to ACL. Hosts were perfect!!
1805494,51333443,2015-10-19,493042,Sonny,"Host was accessible without being intrusive. The location was residential, quiet, yet still accessible. Walking distance to Barton Springs, which is a must visit. The place itself was exactly as described but felt even more comfortable and spacious. Wished we could have stayed longer."
4104624,22792736,2014-11-15,21131789,Jake,"Host was great, place was great. Tons of room, high ceilings, very clean, a nice back room to work in with large windows. Big balcony that I didn't take full advantage of. Wireless Internet was faster than my internet at home. Bars a few blocks down the street. Mueller's BBQ across the street. Juan in a Million a few blocks away. And I highly recommend El Chilito on 7th street. Made me want to move to Austin."
4104624,24755083,2015-01-02,1380310,Mike,"The Host was a good communicator. Check in and Check out was super easy. The apartment was nicer than the description, to me! (She does not mention the 3rd story views of Austin's Eastside) We had a  very positive experience staying here...."
4104624,31759438,2015-05-10,21566288,Shterna,"As others have said, the description under-describes how pleasant (and ""cool"") this place is. It's very spacious, breezy, and near the hottest part of town, but it's quiet enough that you can finish a book there (I did). It's a top-floor loft so no there are no footfalls on your ceiling. I can't imagine a better Airbnb experience."
4104624,32909090,2015-05-23,29987742,Nelien,"Dear Jules and Niki, we had a great time in Austin and staying in your apartment was lovely. The apartment is nice and spacious, was very clean and has good views and all amenities. We enjoyed staying there, many thanks!  "
4104624,45276901,2015-09-01,28696866,Julie,My boyfriend and I stayed here for a long term rental. The space was beautiful and the location was so convenient --so much great food and cool stuff nearby! Great place to start exploring this cool city.
6993283,46084471,2015-09-07,1143792,Amanda,"We had a great weekend in Austin and enjoyed our stay here. Just a minute drive to a great breakfast taco spot, and easy access to highways for getting around. The place looks just like the pictures, comfortable bed, easy-to-reach host. Would stay here again! "
6993283,50302557,2015-10-11,37027148,Hunter,The apartment was perfect for what we needed. Good location and very clean.

906892,3817099,2013-03-18,4803717,Maury,"Amazing house and incredible accommodations. Full kitchen and 2 beds in the 2 bedrooms. The office was perfect for a 3rd giant air mattress that was provided by Derek and Jessica.  

They were incredibly accommodating and left us some nice snacks as well! Hesitant to leave *too* positive of feedback at the risk of losing out on staying here again next year! 

Highly Recommended!"
2553559,28117369,2015-03-18,3646798,Damien,"Very clean and comfortable place. Shane, the host was gracious and quick to respond to inquiries and requests. "
337796,1004197,2012-03-15,411039,Lou,"The house was just a few miles from SXSW, and the hosts, Shannon and Scott were beyond gracious.  It was my first AirBNB experience, and it surpassed all expectations.  "
337796,1021197,2012-03-19,1891560,Anne,"Shannon & Scott's home is beautiful! You can see all the time and work that went into the decor. Very vintage and cool - you have to see their vinyl record wall in person! I stayed with them during the SXSW festival, so I didn't get to sit and chat with them as much as I wanted to but I would definitely consider staying at their place again. They made sure I was taken care of and even helped me with tips on how to get around downtown. Awesome hosts and awesome experience with airbnb!"
7937440,45227180,2015-08-31,42243905,Justin,"Nice, clean place to stay right in the middle of the action!"
7937440,49733548,2015-10-05,45409103,Erica,This was my very first AIRBNB stay and I am blown away at what a great experience it was! The apartment was much bigger than I expected and was in a superb area. 3 minute walk to anywhere! My favorite perk was the restaurant/bar down stairs: Easy Tiger--great place to grab some food or a late night drink. I will absolutely stay here again and I highly recommend this place to future onlookers! 
7937440,51768777,2015-10-24,45373371,Kevin,The building was clean and secure and a great location!  I was in town for a conference and it was a very short walk to the convention center.  The unit was very clean and modern.  I would definitely recommend this unit.
7937440,52885580,2015-11-02,20568615,ShoreArt,The  apartment was in a good location on the  outside of the area of 6th with all the nightlife so it was quieter. The apartment was clean and neat (a bit sparse).  The toilet paper holder was hanging off the wall but other then that it was nice.  We were not near any grocery store so if there was coffee available it would be nice.
1135629,10919099,2014-03-13,6562688,Tahlor,We had an awesome time at this house! Super close to downtown. Yoav was fantastic to work with!

5164094,30205943,2015-04-19,28705644,Matt,"The house set up was great, perfect for a bachelor/bachelorette party. Newly furnished with a good outdoor area. The neighborhood was close to downtown and very convenient. Would definitely rent again. "
5164094,30667688,2015-04-26,18876782,Andrew,"A great property very close to all the good spots in Austin. We had a large group and this place was perfect. Kevin was also very accommodating our various arrivals / departures and directing us to services (Instacart, Uber, etc) that made our stay that much smoother. 
"
5164094,34962339,2015-06-14,5051108,Zack,"Kevin was the perfect host, he was incredibly fast in his responses, gave clear instructions on how to check in/check out, and provided a small gift bag upon arrival.  The space was walking distance from Rainey street, very large, and had a great backyard.  I would highly recommend staying here."
5164094,47718918,2015-09-21,41315941,Michael,"Perfect place for our group!  The house was in great shape when we arrived, he let us check-in early, and  everything was working properly."
5164094,48517161,2015-09-27,36447371,Cathy,"My college roommates and  I rented this house for a weekend reunion.  There were six of us.  It was very comfortable for all six of us -very modern and spacious and also had a nice outdoor space.  It really has everything you need for a great stay in Austin.  It is about a 5 min walk to Rainey Street- we walked everywhere we went,  downtown, to the bars on Sixth Street,  etc.  An Uber from the airport was around $15- $20 dollars I think.   There are also some good coffee shops in the neighborhood a few blocks away.  No complaints... great place for a big group to stay.  "

7985608,49943841,2015-10-07,25892198,Guillermo,"the apartment was actually more beautiful in person than in photos. The small apartment was very clean and cozy. location was perfect.
Andrew was an amazing host, he treated us like friends, he hung out with us and even gave us rides.
best airbnb experience ever

2324317,13308687,2014-05-25,405639,Cathy,"I'm so glad that we chose this apartment for our stay in Austin. Dani was a wonderful host. She really goes the extra mile to make sure that everything goes smoothly for her guests. The apartment itself is beautiful, clean, bright, and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our stay. The location is great - close to South Congress retaurants, bars, and shops. We really couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. We'll definitely be back!
"
2324317,18624232,2014-08-29,6784482,Harvey,"From the first interaction with Dani, I know this was going to be special.  This is an oasis in Austin.  A wonderful, small home with a delightful back yard in a classic neighborhood and a short distance to SoCo.  Very thoughtfully furnished with many special little touches that one rarely sees in a vacation rental.  Felt like staying in a funky 5 star hotel...very classy with great quality throughout.  Well stocked kitchen, high count linens, nice internet radio and very helpful hosts.  Highly recommend the Olive Door."
2324317,20810491,2014-10-06,1432482,Heather,"The house was really great. It was very clean, well decorated, in a great neighborhood and very comfortable. Loved it!  Dani is so nice and helpful. I would definitely stay in one of her properties again. "
2324317,21583098,2014-10-20,9829160,Esteban,"We fell in love with the house the minute we walked in.  It felt cozy, it was squeaky clean and had everything we needed; it even had children’s tableware. Our little two year old loved the back yard, and so did we; it felt really nice to have our first cup of coffee outside. If we get to go to Austin again, for sure this is going to be our first choice."
2324317,21815016,2014-10-24,13107674,Balu,"Dani!
Wonderful place, so neat!
You have paid attention to every detail and the book of information is very impressive!
The neighborhood is great!
Close to everything but get the cool residential city living 
Great price 
I will definitely recommend to friends visiting.
Thanks, Balu"

The beds were very confortable and clean. What I Most like was the location, very convenient to all Austin locations. I appreciated that she let me take my pets with me. The backyard was perfect. Good neiborhood. I will love to come back again."
2324317,24121350,2014-12-20,2535400,Cj,"I loved staying at Dani's place. It's a very well designed space in a great neighborhood, just a short distance away from the best spots in Austin. I will definitely being staying here again."
2324317,26254031,2015-02-08,7117194,Jeff,"Dani was very accommodating and quick to respond - thoroughly enjoyed everything and would do the same again, no question. "
2324317,26990984,2015-02-23,26018991,Rob,"We had a wonderful stay at Dani and Joel's home. It was conveniently located, clean and had all the modern amenities that made us feel at home. It was our family's first time in Austin and it was such a great trip. If we visit again we'll definitely stay here. "
2324317,28305550,2015-03-22,10216834,Jeremy,"Me and my colleagues had a great time at Dani's place during SXSW!
The apartment is neat and convenient and very well situated.
More than everything though, it's Dani's awesomeness as a host that I'd like to point out. From accomodating our wishes prior to arrival to fixing a small problem with lightning speed during our stay, she's just been perfect.
I can only recommend her and will happily stay again in one of her places!"
2324317,29553303,2015-04-09,11415468,Nadya,"This house was perfect! Beautifully decorated, great neighborhood, convenient to all of Austin. Dani was helpful and responsive, and everything was just really easy. Thank you!"
2324317,32132622,2015-05-14,9428704,Richard,"Five Stars Airbnb stay. The house was clean, quite, modern and the location was 5-8 mins away from all of our points of interest. Great communication skills all around. Would definitely stay again when at lovely Austin.  "
2324317,36301152,2015-06-27,2079328,Anna,"Loved this flat!! Such a perfect spot for a mini break with friends. Wonderfully well-appointed, very comfortable and the location can't be beat -- an easy stroll to SOCO. I'm already looking for another excuse to get away with friends and stay here (or in another of Dani & Joel's flats) again soon! Thanks so much, Dani!"
2324317,39862307,2015-07-26,28982225,Martha,"The listing is very accurate.  The house looks exactly like it does in the pictures.  We really liked the clean, uncluttered vibe.  The beds were very comfy.  This is a back unit with a fenced in yard.  If you have a small dog, there are some gaps in the fence close to the ground but if you have a larger dog, then there are no issues.  The neighborhood is very quiet.  It is convenient to downtown and SoCo.  We would definitely stay here again."
2324317,43640086,2015-08-21,13266881,Alana,It's my 2nd year staying here and I love it. It's a beautiful him win a great location and dani is so nice! Thank you for having us again! 
2324317,43961974,2015-08-23,37067748,Sean,Location was excellent and the home was clean and comfortable.  Would recommend to anyone who wants to experience south congress or doesn't mind a 5 min drive to downtown.   I experienced a small incident that was no fault of the host.  Dani went above and beyond to rectify the situation!  I highly recommend booking at any of Dani's properties because this host really cares.
2352384,10911657,2014-03-12,1612459,Alice,"Travis' apartment is lovely: a nicely laid out space, comfortable beds. There's even a pool in the complex!

We didn't use the space to cook, so can't comment on the kitchen. Travis left us fresh towels and linen, and some fresh bars of soap too.

The area is quiet and lovely to walk around the residential parts: downtown Austin (to the Convention Center) is about a 35m brisk walk alongside a highway, or an hour's walk through Travis Heights & SoCo. "
2352384,11815122,2014-04-15,7362264,Mike,"Travis was a great host and very accommodating. He had the apartment cleaned and ready even though we arrived 5 minutes before anticipated. 

Travis offered to let us have a few beers in the fridge which was nice as well.

We really enjoyed our stay and everything at the apartment was very nice."
2352384,13187383,2014-05-21,13587188,Corey,"We had a wonderful stay at Travis's place!  The place has a great vibe, and was clean, comfortable, and accommodating.  In our opinion, there is just the right amount of stuff there (furniture, utensils, etc).  It is in a nice location, and Travis was super friendly and helpful.  This was our first airbnb experience, and I couldn't have imagined it going any more smoothly!
"
2352384,15373477,2014-07-07,3709438,Benjamin,Awesome apt! Host was gracious super open and communicative! DEFINATELY will be back here :)
2352384,18850514,2014-09-01,17692453,Steve,Travis has a great place in an even better location. He was willing to accommodate with our requests and made sure that we had everything we could need for our stay. 
2352384,20044434,2014-09-22,2440,Justin,Great apartment. Travis was very easy to deal with and everything was attractive and clean. This place can sleep 2 couples (4 people) comfortably. Only feedback is the couch isn't really built for sleeping even though it folds down. Definitely go for the Aerobed.
2352384,20744581,2014-10-05,19350947,Brooks,"I stayed here with two friends for ACL 2014. It's a stone's throw from most of Austin and the area is nice and quiet. We never met Travis in person, but he was extremely helpful and easy to get in touch with. The apartment was great, with plenty of room for three guys and their luggage. The main area is nice and open, with great furniture and decor. The patio is perfect for relaxing at night. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. 

Be sure to check out the Whip In pub/restaurant that Travis suggests, it's pretty fantastic and it's right down the street."
2352384,21053805,2014-10-10,19918830,Tiffany,Travis was a great host who communicated all the info I needed (like how to get connected to the wifi) before I even arrived. The place is tidy and could easily accommodate four people. The kitchen is equipped with great coffee and a few pots and pans if you want to cook. The location is ideal if you need to go to Zilker and/or Downtown and the complex is quiet. The best part is that Travis is only a text away if you need anything. Don't hesitate to book your stay!
2352384,21213760,2014-10-13,14614456,Zachary,Travis was a wonderful host and the place was beautiful. Everything ran smoothly--- I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Austin
2352384,21781990,2014-10-24,17739048,Jessica,"Host was very nice and left clear directions for getting in and Internet. Everything was as described and shown in the pictures. Great location, very convenient to everything. "
2352384,22052530,2014-10-28,16102711,Alex,"The apartment was perfect! Travis was very helpful and very easy to reach. Upon our arrival, he ensured that we had everything we needed and made it very easy for us. I appreciate everything you did! Thanks for letting us stay at your place! If you're coming to Austin, this is a great place to stay."
2352384,22289938,2014-11-03,14695662,Jesse,"I stayed in Travis' Pad for a long weekend with my dad, and it was perfect!  We were in town for a race at Circuit of the America's and found it be a wonderful location.  The neighborhood is wonderful and his apartment was only a short drive from everywhere we wanted to go in Austin!

The apartment was great.  Plenty of space, and a nice bedroom.  The couch folded down and was good to sleep on.  Although it wasn't as comfortable as a regular bed, it was a very welcome place to rest at the end of the day!  The bedroom was great, and there were plenty of blankets and pillows.  Over all cleanliness was great as well, absolutely no complaints. 

It looks exactly like the pictures.  Travis was a great host and everything was exactly how it was planned to be.  Wifi was a nice plus!  His short sheet of information was very usefull and most importantly to me, everything went just as planned, just as he said it would, and it was a very easy stay.

I would highly recommend it to friends and family, and would definitely stay here again!   A+"
2352384,22670814,2014-11-11,23035483,Amy,"The listing was 100% accurate. The space was clean, the neighborhood felt very safe, the guitar was perfectly in tune, and there was a Henry Darger book displayed on the counter! We had a lovely stay."
2352384,24214858,2014-12-22,13372788,Ryan,Stayed at Travis' place in December and was great.. perfect location and Travis was easy to contact and his place is very nice. Thanks again!
2352384,24943249,2015-01-04,9229271,Kiva,"Travis was very easy to communicate with, very friendly and even took the time to give us some great Austin recommendations. The place was very clean and quiet, and it was nice having the Whip In around the corner. "
2352384,27369988,2015-03-02,25303154,Joel,"Travis' place is awesome!  We felt right at home.  Bed and couch are comfy.  It's super clean and you really can't beat the location.  (close to everything but not inundated with traffic.)  Travis' communication was top notch!  He's very proactive and makes you feel welcome.  If every Airbnb place is like Travis', I doubt we'll be staying in a hotel in the future.  Thanks Travis for making our first time use Airbnb such an enjoyable one. "
2352384,28013282,2015-03-16,27272588,Laurel,Awesome Host!
2352384,29774287,2015-04-12,27855981,Jenna,Travis sent us detailed info about how to access the apartment and texted me to confirm we got in safely. Could not be more pleased with the location. It was so quick and easy to explore every corner of Austin!
2352384,30341382,2015-04-20,5003760,Coco Loco Jewelry,Great Place to stay. Very clean and in a great location. Communication with Travis was easy and fast. I would certainly recommend this AirBnb.
2352384,30811071,2015-04-27,30802985,Christopher,"Travis was super helpful during my first airbnb stay. He was readily available across both email and text. He made it easy to navigate around the apartment complex and provided clear directions for anything and everything.

Would definitely stay here again. "
2352384,31352474,2015-05-04,6740617,Scott,Travis provided all the details ahead of time and his condo was a very comfortable place to stay. It's a short drive or cab ride to all the fun places in town. I highly recommend it for 2-3 people.
2352384,33106757,2015-05-25,247918,Cindy,"This place had all the right elements -- great space, easy location, and the Whip In grocery supplies & bar a block away.  Would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin.  Travis was very helpful with all information needed and was accommodating with our early check-in time. "
2352384,49616663,2015-10-05,39437495,Will,"Just returned home from our first trip to Austin--we could not have had a better time. The artist's pad was more than advertised. Travis was a FANTASTIC host. He provided great recommendations for us Austin rookies to check out--and even had juice/soda in the refrigerator for us.  The gated community made us feel very safe--although the surrounding neighborhood is very upscale and one of Austin's finest.  Staying next to the Whip-in was great. Such a neat place.  South Congress is just a short hike away and features 
This place is perfect for an Austin City Limits Trip.  While 3-4 miles from the festival, it's a short and cheap uber ride away.  I would recommend renting a bike while staying here--would make it very very easy to get around the entire city.  The space was for 3 people, but felt roomy and spacious enough to accommodate more--maybe 4 or 5. 
"
2352384,50174469,2015-10-10,28582937,Katja,"Great neighborhood. Apartment as described. Travis left us lots of information about things to do, which we appreciated. And the Whip-In next door is a great place to have a drink at the end of your day. Comfortable for 2 people. Easy Uber/Lyft access. All in all, we had a wonderful stay. Thank you, Travis!"
2352384,52239181,2015-10-27,14686286,Molly,"This was the perfect place for us to stay while in Austin! Travis was very responsive and helpful by text. The apartment is beautiful and just as pictured. It was extremely comfortable for 2 of us, especially since Travis set up an air mattress for one of us to use instead of the futon. It was an easy 20-minute walk through a nice neighborhood to get to South Congress or a $5 Uber ride downtown. Being so close to Whip In was great too. I would definitely stay here again!"
490139,10906499,2014-03-12,402560,Dave,"Although I never actually met Jessica, she not only was great host, but also a great curator of the other guests staying there at the time.
Jessica had the room, key, wifi password, etc... all set to go. Everything was clean (not just tidy) and the bed and bedding were very comfortable in the room I was in.
My daily destination was SxSW and it was a quick 10-15 minute drive; perfect. I'd stay again on my next trip to Austin. "
490139,28873639,2015-03-31,26643877,Grace,"Being new to Austin, I felt very welcome. John was very responsive and made sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay including fresh towels and WiFi. I had a quiet comfortable room so I was able to feel at home.  I would come back again. "
490139,35192443,2015-06-15,13275462,Thanh,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3353858,21906997,2014-10-26,21655622,Matthew,"We really enjoyed our stay at Anika's condo. It's incredibly clean, spacious, and includes everything a small group would possibly need. The location is a great alternative to downtown Austin.

Anika greeted us upon arrival and was a very responsive and accountable host. You should stay here!"
3353858,22544517,2014-11-09,22754391,Sihana,The place was spotless and such a treat to stay in. Anika set it up to where we came in her home immediately feeling welcome. The location was also a huge plus; everywhere we wanted to go in Austin was a short trip away. We had a wonderful girl's weekend and staying in Anika's place really made the experience extra special. I would and plan to stay at this location in the future.
3353858,28160712,2015-03-19,240397,Denis,"We stayed at Anika's place during SXSW. After coming here for the 4th year in the row, I can tell that when it comes to lodging, it was our best experience so far in Austin. You are 10 minutes bike ride away from downtown crowds while staying in a calm and very authentic city neighborhood.  Very cool shops and restaurants on South Congress are really close by too. We just walked to some really cool venues like Continental club.  The town home itself is brand new. It's super cozy and has a ""being at home"" feeling some of the AirBnB rentals are lacking. I'd highly recommend Anika's place to other guests (although I'd prefer to keep it as a hidden gem :) "
3353858,28328441,2015-03-22,28314750,Jeannie,"Anika was welcoming and responsive from our first contact. Her home was lovely, spotless and quiet, with everything we needed for a quick trip to Austin. The Soco scene is about a 15-minute walk, and there are other restaurants and a great supermarket within two blocks. Thanks, Anika, for making our trip easy and comfortable! "
3353858,29729469,2015-04-12,21962508,Nina,"Anika greeted us when we arrived. She was friendly and warm, gave us a tour of her home and shared some tips about what to do while in Austin. 

The neighborhood is cool and funky, a bit off the beaten path- but we liked to stay near the locals. Overall a great trip to Austin and stay at this home!"

76497,199256,2011-03-14,3,Brian,"Staying with Ashley for SXSW was a great experience. Her home has tons of character, and is just 1mile from downtown. Being an artist, her home is filled with loads of creative books and decor, and has a very lived-in feeling to it. This house is great for families that need a large kitchen, or for creatives that want an inspiring home away from home. Ashley is an amazing host that picked that went above and beyond, including driving me around the city, and taking me to one of the famous Austin Taco trucks. I highly recommend staying at Ashley's."
76497,205160,2011-03-21,416783,Jess,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it was definitely a top-notch experience! Ashley is an amazing host. We were able to spend some time hanging out, so not only did I have a great place to stay during SXSW, but I now have an amazing friend in Austin. Thanks!"
76497,312601,2011-06-13,664786,Anh,Ashley's place is in the most charming neighborhoods in Austin.  Her home is a great space with lots of character.  It's close to tons of great places to hang out from coffee shops to restaurants and a dog park!
76497,379986,2011-07-18,644852,Dave,"Ashley is a FABULOUS host, and she KNOWS Austin! Her recommendations were awesome, and the house was charming. Loved being 2 minutes from downtown. Highly recommend staying here."
76497,552917,2011-09-20,1173106,Linnea,"Ashley was such a wonderful & thoughtful host.  My friend and I drove up to Austin to attend a photography conference and she gave us great advice on where to find the best coffee and dinner in the area.  Her bungalow was charming, clean, and comfortable.  The patio in the back was decorated with string lights - perfect place for sitting out with a glass of wine.  I would love to stay here again the next time I'm in Austin and would highly recommend it to any of my friends.  "
76497,567124,2011-09-25,1180280,Brad,"Ashley is a wonderful and accommodating host. Her bungalow is cute and full of character, homey, comfortable, and tucked away in a quiet area that you'd never know is so, so close to down town. "
76497,636311,2011-10-17,1034645,Brouck,"My boyfriend and his brother and I stayed in Ashley's house for a week while she was away. We had a great time and a very comfortable stay. This was our first AirBnB experience and we were all very pleased. Before our stay, Ashley called us to introduce herself and to give us the details on the house, and she had even gone out of her way to research the cheapest car rental option for us. We had no problem getting into the house, and when we arrived it was as cozy and comfortable as all the reviews here state. Great beds, fast internet, cool art books, cool decor, nice bathroom and kitchen, and a cute little back patio to read or enjoy a home cooked meal. It is conveniently located in the heart of Austin, on a quiet, safe little street, walking distance to many shops, bars, and restaurants. We had an opportunity to meet Ashley in person for lunch before we left town, and she is so friendly and charming! I'm sorry we didnt get to spend more time with her but we plan to keep in touch and hopefully we will see her the next time she comes to visit NY :)"

76497,680706,2011-11-01,1222831,Dean,Nice home in a great location!  Would stay there again.
76497,736714,2011-11-21,753981,Kathy,"Ashley was friendly and gracious.  She extended herself in making sure we had a great time in Austin.
Her place was lovely with a comfy atmosphere and a great back porch.  If I'm ever in Austin again I'd definitely want to stay at her place."
76497,766426,2011-12-05,1447364,Scott,"Ashley's house is the perfect retreat for a visit to Austin.  Just off the beaten path in a cozy neighborhood with lots of cute homes and big tress.   Easy walk downtown with lots of coffee shops and places to eat very close by.   Decor is relaxed and bohemian and back porch is great place to hang out.    
Ashley is an amazing hostess...personable, fun, and has a very big heart.   She went out of her way to make sure my experience there was a good one.  And she even drove me to airport when my ride fell through.  
 Definitely one of my best all-time BnB experiences.  "

76497,937552,2012-02-21,1648430,Scott,Had a great time in Austin!  Ashley's place was perfectly located and in a wonderful neighborhood.  Hope to make it back and stay there again!
76497,967077,2012-03-03,378743,Roshan,We had a very good experience. The house is very conveniently located just a short walk (10mins) from the whole foods and other downtown shops. The place is very quaint and has some very nice books. It's a place with character!!
76497,1015907,2012-03-19,1403742,Lilah,"If you want someone that is hands on and around to show you Austin - Ashley is the person to stay with or rent from.  She is eager to make friends with all her guests and be apart of your experience. If you want more of a hotel experience, with the feel of a home but full privacy, then I would say try another place. 

Unfortunately we were there for work and had little time for any thing else except for festival activities - but the place is very sweet, has a great patio and is next to a large park and Whole Foods. It is a mile from the convention center so if you are not used to walking know you can rent bikes or take pedicabs/rickshaws as they are more accessible than cabs late at night.

There was a discrepancy regarding the cost per person beyond the higher posted SXSW nightly rate. So know that, the after 2 people rate, does apply during higher SXSW rate/time and is actually double than what is listed and may be more. So make sure to ask."
76497,1149029,2012-04-18,527087,Christian,"We loved our stay at Ashley's lovely home in Austin! Very charming and chic decor.  Ashley welcomed us like a friend and gave us great tips on places to eat and things to see in the neighborhood. We enjoyed cold beers in the warm evening on the back porch and strolls around the neighborhood.  Sweetish Bakery around the corner on 5th was amazing! Get there early before all the best goodies are gobbled up though.  Everything downtown was walking distance and the locations is great for runners who want to hit the lady bird trail around the lake!  Wish we could have seen Ashley before we got back on the road, but we had to hi-tail it out before sunrise.  Would certainly choose her place to stay again!"
76497,1201411,2012-04-30,277122,Jo,"Out of all of my airbnb experiences, this was definitely my favorite host and house. Not only was the house beautiful, but it was also clean and comfortable. Ashley made sure our transition into the house from the airport was smooth and easy, and gave us recommendations for great restaurants and car services. I would definitely recommend booking your next trip to Austin with a stay in Ashley's house. It was a wonderful experience!

"
76497,1266366,2012-05-12,1994525,Lisa,"Ashley's home is lovely and in the perfect location--secluded enough to be a sanctuary, but close to everything you'd want to get to in Austin. I really appreciated how communicative and responsive Ashley was throughout the whole AirBnB process--she's a great virtual hostess and I would definitely recommend the experience her home offers."
76497,1310701,2012-05-20,243286,Lynn,"Ashley's home is a great find in Austin!  It's in a superb location, just a block or two from all the restaurants, bars and shops but also on a very cute and quiet street with some beautiful homes.   The back deck is surrounded with bamboo and there is plenty of shade, its a great space that could comfortably sit a large group.  The beds were both very comfortable and the bedrooms are on either end of the home for lots of privacy.  Everything was clean and in great condition.

Ashley has a real eye for decorating and great style.  The place is full of really cool art and interesting vintage pieces.  Ashley herself was super nice, quick to reply and a great host.  I would (and will!) strongly recommend staying here to friends! "
76497,1343305,2012-05-24,721568,Eric,Ashley's place is amazing! I had an awesome time in her house and can give it my highest recommendation. Not a single complaint!
76497,1378915,2012-05-29,2432215,Logan,"I recently spent three nights over the Memorial Day weekend in Ashley's lovely little bungalow. It fit my needs perfectly and I loved the central location. The back deck was nice and private. The bed was super comfortable. Everything was clean and in good working order. Ashley also helped me with some local planning for entertainment, dining, and jet ski rentals. We never got to meet each other, but I definitely recommend Ashley and her bungalow for your next short-term stay in Austin."
76497,1422992,2012-06-05,2465425,Beth,"Ashley is a gracious host, and her place has lots of charm - exactly as described.  We found her home to be very relaxing - perfect for our small family - and close to UT and downtown restaurants.  We would definitely stay here again.  "
76497,1477255,2012-06-13,2445249,Gary And Cassie,"Warm and artsy, we found Ashley's home to be the perfect landing spot for our Austin adventure.  Ashley was really helpful and willing to answer random texts about finding great restaurants and bars in different neighborhoods.  I only wish we had had the time to spend on the serene back deck surrounded by a bamboo forest.  It was so cool looking!"
76497,2241875,2012-09-09,1317723,Michael,"We spent a week in Ashley's house while we checked out a birthing center in north Austin. Her house is comfortable. Great beds, well-stocked kitchen, great A/C and plenty of charm. The best part though is the location: easy walking distance to great shops like Billy Reid and Waterloo Records as well as the Whole Foods flagship store. It's also next door to a cute playground that was a life saver. 

Ashley was an extremely accommodating host. When our morning flight was canceled she let us checkout in the afternoon even though it was last minute. "
76497,2397449,2012-09-24,206318,James,"Ashely was a great host. She called before we checked in and gave us food recommendations for our trip, and very accommodating when my flight got delayed and we had to check-in late. Although we've never met, she kept contact via text and made sure we were okay. We had clean towels and everything we needed at the house. Great experience!"
76497,2627690,2012-10-16,2589306,Sue,"this house was in a great neighbourhood, really walkable to ACL , bars and restaurants. It is a down to earth house. The kitchen and the house in general is very laid back, artsy, not upmarket. Some would say it was tired but I would say it was interesting. If you are looking for a luxury home this is not the place for you. If you are willing to settle into a "" lived in"" but basically clean home than you'll be ok . "
76497,2925241,2012-11-20,583236,Lynn,"Ashley's apartment was perfect for our visit to Austin. She was very responsive and extremely generous with recommendations both before our visit and during our stay. The location couldn't have been better for us. We wanted something that was close to the center of the city (maybe a 20 minute walk), but far enough away that we could avoid the clutter and noise if we wanted to. Her neighborhood is surrounded by unique shops and some excellent cocktail and food opportunities. On top of it all, she's a very talented and charming hostess! We hope we can visit her again next year. Thanks, Ashley!"
76497,2949777,2012-11-24,3532558,Brian,"Wonderful house, easy access to all of Austin.  Very home felt and well maintained.  You will feel at home, even when away."
76497,3566866,2013-02-18,4154780,Jenny,"We had a lovely stay at Ashley's lovely home - it is everything she states in her description and we felt right at home.  I agree with everyone else's reviews - the beds are really comfortable and the only problem is getting out of it in the morning.  We loved the location and stayed with our 20 year old son who is an avid skateboarder - No Complaints skate shop and an awesome skate park can be found on 12th Ave just off N Lamar Bvd.  I loved sitting on the deck first thing with a coffee and flicking through a few of Ashley's great book collection.  Location, location, location - just perfect for us"
76497,3813124,2013-03-18,2966838,Miriam,"Ashley's home is truly lovely. You feel comfortable and at ease as soon as you arrive. The full kitchen is spacious and ideal. The shower and bath tub are gorgeous. The back patio/deck is a dream. Perfect place to enjoy coffee, listen to birds chirping, and simply relax. If you're looking for a comfortable home with great amenities in a quiet neighborhood, this is the spot for you."
76497,3985954,2013-04-01,5474596,Allison,"Ashley's place is spectacular! My friend and I stayed for three nights. The apartment is spacious and clean and warmly decorated. The living room, kitchen, bathroom, and two bedrooms are all wonderful and lovely. There's a fantastic and beautifully lit back deck surrounded by bamboo. And the house is just a few feet away from the local park complete with jungle gym and swing set. Clarksville is a gorgeous, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of downtown and plenty of cute spots on West Lyn. I couldn't recommend Ashley's house highly enough to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. I hope to be back very soon!"
76497,4259208,2013-04-22,5894434,Tim,Ashley was very accomodating and I loved the location of the place.  It was pretty much next to downtown but still quiet enough to enjoy peace of mind and there was a little nice park right next to the house.  The house was nicely decorated and clean.  
76497,4347676,2013-04-29,5883537,Aj,Ashley's house is amazing and close to everything you need. It is a great retreat.
76497,4465116,2013-05-06,6078094,James,This destination was perfect for a stress-free relaxing weekend.  Two teacher friends and I were able to escape our busy schedules in this quiet neighborhood that was conveniently located near downtown. Ashley was the perfect host and I would highly recommend this place to everyone.
76497,4835809,2013-05-28,5887957,Teal & Rebeca,"Ashley's house was such a nice place to stay. We were so close to so many awesome Austin attractions, while still in a quiet neighborhood where we could relax. "
76497,5480680,2013-07-01,2402269,Michelle,"Ashley is a great host that provided a warm and cozy home. The stay was clean, convenient and I would recommend the place to everyone. Thank you Ashley!"
76497,7043767,2013-09-04,297245,Scott,"Stayed 4 nights. What a great location- very quiet residential area- Not too far from downtown Austin.  Very spacious 2 bedroom, 1 bath, will def stay again!"
76497,7497970,2013-09-22,298498,Jonas,"Fantastic home, fabulous host. My friends and I found Ashley to be kind, responsive and thoughtful. Her place was equally great: quiet, comfortable, good natural light, clean and artsy, woodsy and soulful. And tucked away deep in the heart chakra of Austin's Clarksville neighborhood (a mere 7 minutes walk to Whole Foods). We spent two nights and enjoyed our time immensely. You won't find a better place or host. Enjoy your stay."
76497,7543666,2013-09-23,5071465,Brandon,"Awesome Austin house with great decorations! Right across from a dog park. Ashley got us a last-minute reservation a day before we arrived, will certainly keep her in mind on our next trip to Austin! Thanks again."
76497,8081644,2013-10-15,8022476,Chris,Ashley has an awesome house and in a great location and we will definitely try and stay there again if we ever come back. She was very helpful with great places to check out in not only austin but also in new york city when we travelled there too. Great host great girl. 
76497,8429311,2013-10-30,8897955,Brian,"We really liked Ashley's place and the neighborhood.  The house was a little funkier and more cluttered than the pictures suggested, but it was charming and we really liked her aesthetic, so that was fine with us.  Once we were there it was necessary to communicate with Ashley a little more frequently than we had anticipated due to some shifting circumstances on her end.  This was a bit challenging for me, since I don't text and prefer to go offline when I'm traveling.  It probably wouldn't be that big of a deal for most folks, though, if they're on their smart phones anyway."
76497,8710674,2013-11-12,5272851,Adam,Ashely was a great hostess! Her place is chic and cozy all wrapped into one. She was very prompt at returning emails and phone calls even while she was way out in the boondocks with limited service. Ashley makes it her priority that your stay is comfortable and memorable. It was a joy working with her and getting to stay in her humble abode. Her place has a great location to everything Austin has to offer.
76497,8831216,2013-11-20,3120861,Dave,"4 of us stayed in Ashley's home for six nights. We would stay again in a heartbeat!  We found the home to be just as advertised, very comfortable and chock full of cool books and knick-knacks.  The deck in back is quite private and great for lounging.  The bathroom is nice.  Washer and dryer worked well.  Kitchen is fine and well-stocked.  Beds were super. The location is quiet, perfect for walking tours around West Austin, and very convenient to the freeways.  Ashley herself was a real pleasure to meet and visit with, very friendly and accommodating. Her recommendations for things to do and places to eat were spot on and really made our trip.  No complaints in the slightest.  Thanks Ashley, hope to stay with you again!"
76497,10920086,2014-03-13,48453,Robert,This house is a gem. It's on a quiet street with a lovely deck and has a lot of character. Would highly recommend!
76497,11806387,2014-04-15,13229408,Samantha,"Ashley's home is eclectic, beautiful and fully stocked to have a wonderful stay in Austin. The 2 large bedrooms, large kitchen, and cozy back patio were perfect to make our stay enjoyable. I love how close she is to everything. I walked to Whole Foods and yoga everyday through lovely neighborhoods. I highly recommend Ashley's lovely home! "
76497,12313553,2014-04-28,7749249,Tiia,"We had a lovely stay.  Just make sure you confirm the correct address before arriving to Austin.  We had a bit of a hiccup late Friday night when trying to find the location - we had the wrong address.  However, we were able to contact A.C. and find her place.  Her place is very clean and well appointed.  It is truly a comfortable place to stay and relax. And what a great back patio for morning coffee!"
76497,13123439,2014-05-19,10706005,Charlotte,It was great! Beautiful and comfortable house!
76497,13326412,2014-05-25,15196243,Matt,"Excellent home.  Great location.  Spacious, well appointed, nicely decorated.  Host was very helpful and accomodating.  Would definitely stay there again.  "
76497,16529389,2014-07-28,2219372,Ashley,We had a lovely stay at your home. Thank you so much for all the suggestions during our stay. This is the best location in town!! The home was very spacious and was stocked with anything you could possibly need. The air conditioner worked very well in the Texas heat. This location is ideal for anyone wanting to explore downtown Austin. We never paid more than 9$ for a taxi and mostly walked everywhere. Thanks again for your generosity. We will definitely return.  
76497,20818818,2014-10-06,18495782,Yasmeen,"A.C. was very informative about where to find different places to eat and hang out.  Check-in was later than advertised, but seamless none the less.  While her home was quiet and comfortable it was very dusty. I was having very bad allergies while in the home. There is only one TV, located in the master bed room without cable. So if you can survive on the internet her wi-fi is going to be your best bet. I would recommend this option if you are in Austin and plan to be out most of the day."
76497,22396600,2014-11-05,3410350,Jane,Wonderful time in a beautiful and unique home. Everything was perfect. 
76497,27357784,2015-03-02,3413631,Jim,"I had a very nice time sharing A.C.'s wonderful home with family.  It's in a great neighborhood, right near the park and in walking distance to a number of local restaurants (on W. 6th St and W. Lynn).  Thoroughly enjoyed it and A.C. was very accommodating in making the house available to us.  Thanks!"
76497,28161295,2015-03-19,48453,Robert,Perfect! Everything was great.
76497,28734722,2015-03-29,9144574,Stephanie,"We had a great time staying in A.C.'s home.  Easy walk to downtown, restaurants and shopping.  It's in a great neighborhood.  The house is loaded with interesting artifacts and books.  Very relaxing, clean and cozy beds.  A.C. reached several times to check on us, offered recommendations etc.  I would most certainly stay here again.
"
76497,30908346,2015-04-28,4318070,Greg,"This was the ideal base for exploring Austin. There's a very comfortable and homey feel to this house, which is nestled in a quiet neighborhood about a 10-15 min drive or 30-40 minute walk from the Austin nightlife hotspots. Ashley was very helpful in making sure we got to the house okay and settled in. She also is a great source for some good recommendations of things to do and places to eat, drink, and be merry. Would stay here again."
76497,31435960,2015-05-05,21896913,Samantha,Lovely home in an absolutely fantastic neighborhood. Lots lf space and amazing shopping and dining within a 3-5 min walk. Host was extremely accommodating and helpful. Would love to stay there again!
76497,32655151,2015-05-19,2394658,Robin,"Nice place, very vintage. Well maintained and spacious. Very close to good spots to hang out in but nestled in a nice quiet street. "
76497,33048250,2015-05-24,33833350,Ryan,Great time. Awesome house with a great location. Can't wait to stay again!!
76497,35238059,2015-06-16,5379737,Robin,"My two friends and I had a fantastic time staying at Ash's home! The pictures are identical to what we arrived to find and the size is perfect for three people. Lots of natural light with the skylights, even on a rainy day. We spent a lot of time lounging on the awesome deck watching birds and relaxing.  Ash's home was so cozy that we even ended up spending an entire day inside reading and listening to the rain. Her street is tucked away and so quiet that it's easy to forget that there are other neighbors around. We loved the clean crisp bed linens and extra comfortable beds with plenty of pillows! Ash stayed in contact for the duration of our trip to make sure we had everything we needed and to give us great restaurant tips. There's great food within walking distance, as well as Whole Foods and Waterloo Records. We felt right at home, which is exactly what I want out of an airbnb home. Thank you so much, Ash!!"
76497,36542377,2015-06-29,33237143,Marie,"Ash has a very eclectic home that is most comfortable and expresses the Austin vibe. It's located on a quiet dead end street adjoining a beautiful park. We were able to easily walk to fun dining spots. Thank you, Ash, for sharing your home with us."
76497,38533145,2015-07-16,18919944,Kristin,Apt had excellent location and was very cute.  Ash was in touch often and we enjoyed the stay!  Thank you!!
76497,39197287,2015-07-21,7093756,Erin,"Ash really does her best to make her guests as comfortable as possible and is a wonderful communicator.  
  Her place is in an excellent and quiet location while being close enough to downtown.  
  Her vibe is felt throughout her place and is as welcoming as it is eclectic.      
  Thanks for everything Ash!"
76497,40964038,2015-08-03,1658699,Lenny,"This was a great space to catch up with a dear friend and just hang.  In the sweet neighborhood of Clarksville, we enjoyed looking at all the cute houses and landscapes as we walked to get coffee each morning.  Super cute restaurants within easy access -- a quick walk across the park.  Ash is like a long-lost friend and her personality and passions are evidenced throughout the house, which has an eclectic bohemian vibe.  House is roomy and comfie and quiet. Wraparound porch is shady and was perfect for what we needed!!!!!"
76497,42397529,2015-08-13,1777741,Rafael,"Our host was absolutely superb. She was very accommodating in helping us with our reservation modification plus gave us many tips on what to do while in Austin. Her home is even more spectacular than what is described. as I mentioned to her, it is an oasis. We could not have been more satisfied with it. We would not change a single thing about it. It was perfect. We thank her profusely.  "
76497,43308684,2015-08-18,40691308,Ken,Great neighborhood and well located for anyone looking to experience all of Austin. House was very quiet and peaceful. Ashley was a wonderful host and made sure we didn't go without!
76497,44968739,2015-08-30,24954658,Elizabeth,"This was a fantastic home to stay in: definitely has the Austin funky vibe.  It was perfect for 2 women, we each had our own room with very comfortable beds, kitchen and living room to relax.  Walked to breakfast, lunch, shopping, grocery shopping.  A quick drive to everything we needed in Austin.  Close to a running path down by the river.  Unfortunately did not get a chance to meet Ash, but she was responsive to text messaging during our whole visit.  Great experience!"
76497,47737720,2015-09-21,33684908,Lincoln,"Austin is a great town; and Ashley is the consummate Austin host!  Her house is a great place to relax and is in a terrific location.

Ashley cheerfully greeted us upon our arrival, gave us a great rundown of the house's features, and enthusiastically offered recommendations for things to do and places to eat.

We loved our stay and would stay there again!"
76497,48740673,2015-09-28,1885904,Martin,"This place is in a nice and quiet location while still being close enough to walk downtown. Ash made sure to brief us about everything and made sure to check that we have all we need, plus she gave some great restaurant tips too. The place has a cozy, bohemian feeling - perfect for getting in the Austin Vibe. Thanks for everything Ash!"
76497,49760926,2015-10-06,11464500,Matthew,What a great place!  Ash definitely accurately described her rental on airbnb.  The house was clean and well laid out.  It was in a great location - close walking distance to great restaurants and cafes and close to downtown Austin yet far enough away to be a tranquil setting in a busy city
76497,50614482,2015-10-13,11069806,Jason,Ashley always make you feel welcome and the location cannot be beat
76497,51335869,2015-10-19,42421338,Alissa,We had such a great time in Austin largely due to the amazing location of Ash's place and her recommendations. We walked to delicious coffee every morning and let our kids play in the park. We also walked to Whole Foods on 6th street. Her house is lovely and comfortable and served as a great home base for our trip! 
76497,52098294,2015-10-26,15524171,Michelle,"We loved our stay at Ash's super cute abode.  It had everything we needed.   The location is fantastic, we could walk to the local coffee shop and restaurants everyday.  It rained most of the weekend so we ate dinner in and had it on the covered back porch.  The worlds best Whole Foods is just blocks from the house.  We enjoyed the comfy beds and the great selection of books.  There is even an off street parking spot right next to the front door - very convenient in the rain.  Ash was quick to respond to anything, although we didn't need a thing."
76497,52559771,2015-10-30,22857707,Miles,Ash's place is fantastic.  Located in a cool part of Austin.  The house has lots of charm.  Rooms are comfortable.  I certainly give the place 5 stars.  I will most certainly return if the opportunity arises again.
76497,52998439,2015-11-03,22313194,Claire,"Home is in a great location within walking distance to great restaurants, giant Whole Foods, and shops. This home is in an older neighborhood and has lots of character. Neighborhood is quiet and has the feel of being far from the wild atmosphere of 6th street. It is a short uber ride or 20 minute walk to that area. Ash was very responsive with recommendations on places to eat. House needed some cleaning but it wasn't a big deal. "
6093795,31864226,2015-05-10,32927434,Yun-Fu,"We enjoy our stay here! Clean, comfortable, and convenient."
6093795,33151806,2015-05-25,2435736,Aaron,"The spot was a perfect home base for my group's trip to Austin. We were able to walk to Rainey Street easily, and even when we wanted to go to West 6th, it was only a $3 Uber ride. The porch gave us a spot to hang out and have fun, the beds were comfortable, and the neighborhood is nice.

Sarah and Steve were awesome hosts, and I'd recommend this spot to a friend!"
6093795,41604113,2015-08-08,2391812,Grant,We had a great night at your place. Plenty of space and comfortable beds. 
5258212,35086796,2015-06-15,15765776,Frank,Erica and her team made our stay easy and convenient. The neighborhood was quiet and the house was spacious. The outdoor space was amazing and my family enjoyed dinner on the patio. 
5431978,28414815,2015-03-23,7707757,Jimmy,"Paul's apartment was just as in the pictures, and was plenty spacious. We only met with Paul and his wife briefly, but they are very easygoing and accommodating. The apartment location is great, not even a minute from Mopac, and also close to the Anderson Plaza area. I hope to book Paul's apartment again next time I visit Austin!"
5281159,27555699,2015-03-07,17261032,Georgia,"Duane was great, easy to contact and work with.  Place was outstanding, super location, easy parking, great walking area to fantastic stores.  Very happy I made the decision to stay at the Domain for my first trip back to Austin in years.  Would definitely stay here again."
5281159,28175113,2015-03-19,25550212,Kelsey,"Our stay at this comfy studio was just that: extremely comfortable! Located in a really cool, artsy little shopping district, we had everything we needed as provided by our host Duane. The studio was very clean, and there were plenty of clean towels, dishes and toiletries for a couple of people. The backdoor of the apartment opened right up into the pool area, so cool! There was AMPLE parking which was very nice, and the area was not extremely busy(we visited Austin during SXSW, but not to go to SXSW) which was also very nice. There were tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance, and a Whole Foods nearby if you wanted to fill the fridge with groceries for a longer stay. Being a young lady who traveled with another young lady, I can say I could NOT have felt more safe in this area. We walked around during late hours and we felt incredibly safe.  Duane was very helpful in finding the apartment, and immediately responsive ANYTIME we texted him. He was also full of recommendations of popular local restaurants and drink specials! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend his BnB to family and friends. It could not have been a better FIRST TIME AIRBNB EXPERIENCE.We also really appreciated the bottle of wine our host left us! :) "
5281159,28327768,2015-03-22,6239371,Will,"Duane's place was perfectly as described and as depicted from his listing. The apartment settles right next to the Domain shopping center and is very convenient to both shopping and dining. Furthermore, Duane is super nice and attentive, ensuring that our stay in Austin was 100% enjoyable. I would definitely recommend staying at this location. The only downside is that it's decently far up north, so you'd need to drive a bit to visit places in SoCo or downtown Austin--but that's Texas, you have to drive everywhere anyway. :)"
5281159,28569240,2015-03-26,28307300,Jennifer,"My boyfriend and I stayed at this lovely studio for our first trip to Austin. We didn't meet Duane because I think he was working when we first arrived but he made sure that we made it there safe and sound and see if we had any questions about the room. The studio was beautiful and was actually spacious. The windows and back door faced the pool in which we regrettably did not take advantage of. The popcorn and bottle of water was a nice touch as well. The studio was located in the Domain which is about north of Austin. You can pretty much walk out the door and go shopping or grab a bite to eat (some food trucks even park in front of the building on certain days). Overall, we are glad that we got to stay at this studio and would love to come back in the future! "
5281159,28629113,2015-03-27,7576974,Zee,"I was only visiting austin for a night to go to a conference-- the studio was super comfortable, clean and spacious and in a great location :) i would def stay there again next time I visit austin :) "
5281159,28896649,2015-03-31,29132298,Melissa,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and felt right at home in Duane's cool and comfy condo! It was super clean and surrounded by many restaurants, shops, etc. in The Domain."
5281159,29127100,2015-04-04,6755719,Christina,The Comfy Studio rocked! Duane was welcoming (even going out of his way for our late arrival) and made sure we felt right at home. The location was perfect and within a short walk to many shops and great food. We were able to work and play all in the same space and will definitely be back!
5281159,29210407,2015-04-05,2423778,Jennifer,"Duane made us feel very welcome. We were so grateful that he was flexible regarding our check-in time. He went out of his way to work with us, as we were arriving late without a clear idea of exactly when we would arrive at the property. It was late, and Duane took his time to get us acquainted with the property, which was just perfect. The space was pleasing to the eye, clean, comfortable, safe and much larger than expected based on the photos.  We'd be happy to stay again."
5281159,29616749,2015-04-10,15156636,Peter,"We had an excellent experience at Duane's studio! Convenient location, a comfortable living space and a responsive host all made the whole stay incredibly enjoyable. All the amenities we needed were provided and Duane was always on hand for any questions as well as offer encouragement to go out and grab the best experience the city has to offer! I would absolutely recommend this listing to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in Austin!"
5281159,29749419,2015-04-12,23027287,Bronwen,"His contact Maya was hugely helpful with my hours of class and event work while in town. 

Clean, bright and safe place to stay. 

I woke up the last morning to a toilet that had backed up in the night and was mortified to not being to get that unclogged before my early 6am exit, there was no plunger. I left a note with the keys to give the cleaning crew a heads up! 

"
5281159,29996566,2015-04-15,30549174,Jeff,"Duane was very welcoming and the accomodations were just as described. The neighborhood was great, very vibrant and new with plenty of amenities."
5281159,30396769,2015-04-21,27185934,Anthony,"I had a great time in Austin. The interior design was beautiful. The location was perfect. 5 min walk to shopping areas, restaurants and entertainment. "
5281159,30538920,2015-04-23,31680442,Helena Cecilie Larsen,"We were not impressed.
Listing said checking in time at 4pm, and since we were a little late in our booking (lunch time same day) we wrote to host to ask whether it would be possible to checkin same day. Host said no problem. But then it started: multiple texts from 3 different people (host, host's son and cleaning crew!) telling different stories about where to meet and when. In the end we ended up not receiving our key until after 10.30 pm!!!
At that time we had been waiting, and waiting - missing dinner and the chance to spend our day productively because we all the time were told we would be able to checkin ""very soon"". My biggest complain here is not the VERY late checkin time, because we did only contact same day so in that perspective that may be fair, but rather the complete inability of the host to clearly communicate early on an estimation of WHEN we would be able to check in so we could avoid waiting and waiting...
For the record, there is nothing wrong with the apartment or location, but due to poor experience of reliability of host I would still not recommend to anyone."
5281159,30636226,2015-04-25,30246365,Margaret,He responded prompty. The space was clean and met our needs . We enjoyed the stay and would recommend this space to others. The neighborhood was more upscale than I anticipated.
5281159,30794875,2015-04-27,29129317,MaryLauren,"The space was very clean, comfortable, and private!  Duane made the process easy and stress-free.  "
5281159,31055551,2015-05-01,6755719,Christina,"Duane was just as great a host as the last time we came! Perfect spot with great access to everything we needed and wanted, enabling us to work and play with comfort and ease. We will be back!"
5281159,31321976,2015-05-04,5457566,Tristan,"Duane & the place were amazing. We arrived at 10:30 on a saturday night via taxi as our rental car booking fell through. Duane met us & took us shopping for essentials & then dropped us back at the house, all late on a saturday night. He really went the extra mile & helped us sooo much!!! Highly recommend :-)  "
5281159,31556707,2015-05-06,31885724,Danny,"Maya, one of Duane's associates, contacted us the day of our arrival in Austin to see about arranging a time and place to meet for check-in. She was very kind and accommodating with our schedule. Upon check-in, Maya showed us to our lodging and explained everything we needed to know, answering all our questions as well. The condo itself was great. Clean, comfy, exactly how it appeared in the AirBNB listing. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend others stay here should they need accommodations in Austin."
5281159,31623672,2015-05-07,27671216,Alice,"We greatly enjoyed this clean, modern apartment. It had all amenities and nothing extra. Duane was flexible and very responsive. 
The bed was wonderful! 
It's not close to downtown Austin, but there's plenty of shops, dining and a whole foods right near by. 
"
5281159,31686416,2015-05-08,1832807,Deanna,"After a very long and hectic day, when I finally made it to the Domain (NW) from the Airport (SE) during Austin rush-hour, stepping into Duane's studio apt. gave me that sense of well-needed serenity. I didn't have the opportunity to meet with Duane, but he coordinated my arrival with his friend, Maya, who is super friendly and helpful. Duane was flexible with me with check-in/check-out time which was great given that we had family visiting and we all know how that goes ;) Overall, it was a great experience. We were able to relax and watch Netflix. Next time, we'll be taking advantage of the pool! "
5281159,32093675,2015-05-13,32927577,Amit,"This is one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had ! Duane was super friendly, helpful and always went that extra mile to make sure the guest is happy. The apartment was fabulous with a very comfortable bed and is located in one of the best neighborhoods of Austin. If you're staying in Austin, this place is highly recommended."
5281159,32726453,2015-05-20,33324701,Patti,Duane is a great host. Super friendly and very helpful with suggestions on where to eat or cool places to go for entertainment.
5281159,32800064,2015-05-21,22908900,Jeongin,"This is great place to stay. The apartment is located in The Domain, where you can find fancy shops and restaurant easily. It took only about 15-20 to Downtown Austin. Maya promptly helped us with check-in process, and she also recommended some nice places around Austin. Check-out process is also super simple. The apartment is brand-new and everything looks so clean and tidy. (It even has great a great outdoor pool). I definitely would like to stay if I visit Austin again. Thank you."
5281159,33088312,2015-05-25,28687258,Ally,Duane was welcoming and incredibly helpful. He was able to recommend lots of good places to eat in Austin. The studio was clean and comfortable. We very much enjoyed our experience and stay in Austin. We would make reservations with Duane again in the future. 
5281159,33411288,2015-05-27,32841346,MariAnne,"Duane was an excellent host! Even though we never met, he kept in contact when we were arriving and throughout the visit! His assistant Maya met us at Whole a Foods and we followed her to the apartment, since the flooding was so bad during our arrival. The apartment is in the perfect location just about 20 minutes outside of downtown, with awesome restaurants and an outlet mall within walking distance! The pool was amazing, and the apartment felt much bigger than it actually is! We had the best time, and will definitely be staying again when coming to Austin!"
5281159,36293037,2015-06-27,26485434,Ali,"When we arrived in the evening, even though Duane wasn't available to show us the space, he arranged for us to meet with Maya who showed us the studio apartment and made us feel welcome. Parking was a breeze and the unit was situated conveniently within the complex. The apartment was nicely decorated and well laid out, plenty of space for two people. Free Wi-Fi, Netflix on the TV, and a pitcher of cold water in the fridge were certainly taken advantage of during our stay in Austin. The Domain has lots of restaurants, shopping, and entertainment venues within short walking distance so the location was great. We ended up going to Lone Star Court to catch some music on our last night there which was fun. Duane's place was well situated and met all of our expectations for our stay in Austin!"
5281159,36486819,2015-06-28,29367977,Austin,Awesome experience. Will be using Duane again! Location in the Domain was great for entertaining guests.
5281159,36746814,2015-06-30,36835736,Sarah,"The space is loft-style, very open and well-kept. Very clean. Duane was out of town during our stay but made sure we got keys to the place. We had a great visit and would stay again. The property is located in the Domain. Just a 5-min walk to restaurants and shopping. "
5281159,38208542,2015-07-13,1286885,Zvi,"Duane was very responsive and kind. The space was as advertised, very new, modern and sharp design. In a new neighborhood with lots of shopping and a Whole Foods nearby. When I had to unexpectedly cut my stay short, Duane did everything he could to help me out. Great host!"
5281159,38468289,2015-07-15,23153202,Frederick,It's a five star rental...exceptional place. 
5281159,38785034,2015-07-18,12950985,Crystal,"Duane was very welcoming and provided a great place to stay. He was not able to meet us when we first arrived, but had Maya greet us and help us get settled in. The location was perfect as was the apartment. I enjoyed having a kitchen and a private place to call my own. The pools and gym were relaxing as well. I would gladly book Duane's place again and recommend it to anyone wanting a nice quiet place to stay in Austin and it's also only about a 15 min drive from downtown."
5281159,39115827,2015-07-20,27754175,Tiffany,"My visit here was awesome. Duane was very nice and extremely accommodating. The place looked exactly as it does in the pictures. It's nice, clean, and peaceful. Shopping is very close and food places. Will definitely stay again!!! "
5281159,39253490,2015-07-21,30016621,Lauren,Thank you for a great overnight getaway!   The studio was immaculate and in a great location!  Will definitely book again when I'm headed to Austin!
5281159,39420177,2015-07-23,6323429,Kary,"Trendy studio in a very convenient location. We didn't get to met Duane, but Maya was very friendly and got us settle in in no time. It was definitely a better experience than staying at a hotel nearby and way cheaper. The place has lots of extras like a kitchen with utensils, hight cealings with lots of light, a very inviting swiming pool, and walking distance tho restaurants and bars. We defenitely recommend it!"
5281159,39810433,2015-07-26,22586987,Chona,"Great place at a great price! That's how I would describe Duane's place. We had a wonderful time staying in this clean, tastefully decorated, cozy studio apartment. Wifi is good, bathroom is spacious and tidy, has full kitchen with modern appliances but we didn't have to cook as there are good places to eat in the area. It is also close to a big and new Whole Foods where we had tasty soups and sandwiches. It has lots of choices for cooked foods, salad bar, baked goodies etc.
The location is safe and quiet with easy access to highways. For me, drive to and from downtown was ok even during the rush hour. After the sun sets, just walking around this upscale area of shops and restaurants can be relaxing.
As for Duane,  he is a superb host. He responded to my inquiries/ questions in a timely manner. He was out of town and had Maya helped us settled in. She is friendly, sweet and welcoming. Communicating with them was easy, they also made sure that we were comfortable and made us aware that we can reach out to them if we need anything.
Overall, I would give Duane'splace a highly recommended mark!"
5281159,40468080,2015-07-31,36363047,Tyler,"Duane was a terrific host; he left a bottle of champagne as a welcome gift along with a watermelon. We couldn't meet, but he kept in contact and answered questions by text immediately. The neighborhood was located in the Domain and was very close to many nice stores and attractions. And the room was as promised."
5281159,40974942,2015-08-03,18656165,Justine,Great communication with me leading to my stay in the Domain. Was pleasantly surprised on how big the studio was and the easy access to everything! Thanks for the amazing hospitality. 
5281159,41429758,2015-08-07,33991045,Muhammad,The entire place was awesome! Duane made sure everything was clean and ready before I showed up and was even able to get me the keys even though I showed up a little earlier than expected. Great place to stay in an awesome location! 
5281159,41824643,2015-08-09,7543459,Kaitlyn,"The studio was charming, very well located to shopping & dining, and perfectly suited our needs. Easy access to the pool was also fantastic and a great way to spend the evening relaxing. Also great that there was plenty of visitor parking spaces, making it easy to come and go. Duane was quick to respond  by text and offered helpful suggestions on nearby attractions. I would return! "
5281159,42020987,2015-08-10,37193253,Jennifer,"Maya met with us to show us where to park and how to get into the apartment.  She was super nice and gave us a few tips for our stay.  Parking is in a garage and easily accessible ... plenty of parking, no stress and then a very short walk into the apartment.  The apartment is nicely decorated and super clean.  There were two of us and it was a great size for us.  The kitchen wasn't pictured in the listing, so that was a nice surprise for us (we knew it was there, but seeing it added to the value of the stay!)  In the fridge is a water pitcher filter which is a nice touch.  You won't be disappointed staying here!  Duane and Maya are super and communication is easy via text once you pay.  Next time I'm in the Austin area I know where to stay :)"
5281159,42728202,2015-08-15,36093739,Andrew,"The place was absolutely fantastic! The studio was very clean, well stocked, and gave you everything you could need for a stay in Austin. Duane was very friendly and was easy to communicate with, while also not being intrusive like previous hosts I've encountered. The location was also great, being located in a very nice area with plenty of great eateries and a Whole Foods nearby for basic shopping needs.
Between all the above and the great price, this Studio Suite is perfect for anyone who wants a great say in Austin. I highly recommend it!"
5281159,43128681,2015-08-17,40028885,Kiki,"The place was exactly what I expected it to be. Lovely, warm, and welcoming room. Poolside suite was definitely true! Duane was very accommodating. Made our travels easy and enjoyable. I would def rec him to others and stay there again. The location was also really nice. : )"
5281159,43440464,2015-08-19,41115821,Jeremy,Duane did a fantastic job of communicating and being available for any questions.  The Studio was in an excellent location with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby.  Will definitely stay here again.
5281159,43703762,2015-08-21,1673262,Barbara,"Excellent host, always available and keeps the home clean."
5281159,43813472,2015-08-22,34609109,Rhona,"Duana's apt was a lovely studio in the center of Austin. 
My friend and I had a great rest , and we enjoyed the apt a lot. We wish that we could stay more days there and enjoyed the pool more.   We arrived Austin late due to the traffic. Duana and Maya both were very helpful. We are very appreciated it. 
the place looks exactly as the pics... Very clean and comfy "
5281159,43989417,2015-08-23,39622291,Grant,"Duane's got a really nice place. It was everything my friend an I needed for our one night stay. Close to downtown as well, which was nice."
5281159,44344335,2015-08-25,36012652,Clare,"Cozy place, great location, and a welcoming host! Really nice and luxurious place to stay. However, if I must mention one downside, it was that there were no ingredients or coffee that we could not cook even with those great collections of kitchenware and coffee maker."
5281159,44947374,2015-08-30,39773313,Jacob,"This was my first airbnb experience, and it was a really great one. Duane was friendly and flexible with my schedule. When I arrived, I met with Maya to get the keys and a tour of the place. I very much enjoyed my stay in the Domain. The room was exactly as described on the site. My only regret is that I didn't have enough time in town to try out all of Duane's recommendations! I highly recommend booking with Duane, and when I next head back to Austin I'll try to stay here again. "
5281159,45119194,2015-08-31,38962739,Stuart,Duane had somebody meet us and escort us to the apartment and show us around. Great apartment and great location within a few minutes walking distance to The Domain.
5281159,45354589,2015-09-01,17570195,Nathalia,"Staying at Duane's chic studio was the best decision I made on my cross-country road trip.  It was a wonderful oasis in the middle of 5 days of driving.  We were able to rest in a plush, comfy bed, watch some netflix, and cook up a few fresh meals.  I was so impressed with the decor, I wanted to stay there forever!  Only downside was that we didn't get the chance to take a dip in the gorgeous pool that we had a view of because we were short on time.  I definitely want to stay at Duane's studio again next time I'm in Austin!   "
5281159,45513370,2015-09-03,33672793,Daniel,"This was our first Airbnb experience and Duane has set the expectation level for our next Airbnb endeavor-ridiculously high. Duane responded to all of our inquiries in a timely manner and met us to give us the keys to the place. He also took the time to show us where to park and gave us a little tour around the building as well we the condo. Everything was clean and homey exactly as the pictures represent and more. The bathroom was stocked with bath towels as well as towels for the pool, and shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen was stocked with all utensils/plates/cups/mugs needed to cook and feel at home. The fridge was stocked with water and coffee. Everything was absolutely perfect and the location is a huge plus in itself being that it is near shops, restaurants, and Whole Foods. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and will never be able to stay in a hotel again. 

Thanks so much Duane for giving us a great experience!!"
5281159,45640990,2015-09-04,30129128,Zoe,"My boyfriend and I went to Austin for our anniversary and had a great time. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Duane was very helpful, and responsive. Just about 20 minutes from downtown it was very convenient. There are plenty of restaurants in walking distance as well as lots of retail. I definitely recommend this! "
5281159,46604385,2015-09-12,16592052,Jennifer,"Since my flight came in late, Duane was kind enough to set up self-check in so I didn't feel l didn't feel like I was disrupting someones Sunday evening. I got a text mid-day letting me know the home was being cleaned and prepared for my stay, along with a couple other phone numbers on the text to ensure I could connect with someone at anytime. The neighborhood is very clean, well-put together, and there are late night eats in walking distance. The home is small and cozy, and very clean, with a lovely view of the pool. I was on a work trip with a co-worker, but I kept imaging how nice it would be with my boyfriend. It's a perfect spot for a couple. The TV has Netflix and hulu which is nice when you land in a new place, late at night. "
5281159,47337963,2015-09-17,28781605,Joseph,Duane's friend Maya was responsive and accommodating in meeting up with me to help with check-in. Incredible value option when visiting Austin. Great flat for an individual or couple wanting to visit Austin and don't need or prefer to be within walking distance or quick uber in downtown/UTexas. Easy parking in on-site garage.
5281159,48235340,2015-09-24,41920006,Katie,"What a cute little studio apartment to stay in! I only had one nights' stay and didn't have the opportunity to explore the Domain, but I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone. Duane and his crew were always in communication and I felt very welcome here.  "
5281159,48672548,2015-09-28,6270657,Allyson,"Duane was VERY accommodating & helpful! We stayed at his loft for a fraction of what it would cost to stay at the hotels located at The Domain. His home was modern, convenient, comfortable, clean and in the perfect location!"
5281159,49435235,2015-10-04,38354179,Christopher,"Awesome Awesome place!!,, Duane was very informative and super nice!,, walking distance to food, drinks, shopping and Will definitely consider to use him again!!.. I would give him and the place 20 stars!!.. Thanks Duane for the GREAT stay!!!!!!"
5281159,49898478,2015-10-07,36008349,Paola,"Our host Duane was very friendly and gave us so many cool suggestions of things to check out and do. Duane made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. The place was very tidy and clean. The kitchen is fully stocked. With the place being blocks away from the heart of Austin, there are countless of restaurants, bars, and shops only steps away! This place is in a prime location for anything you have plannedfor your Austin adventure. The neighborhood is mostly quiet and we felt very safe there. This palce is awesome! I highly recommend it! Thank you Duane, for your hospitality and kindness!!!"
5281159,50100011,2015-10-09,40337893,Ivy,"I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! We arrived very late after a 5 hour drive, so some one met us at a store and drove us to the apartment and walked us in which was so helpful! This apartment was very spacious and super cute! The bed was amazing as feel. Over all I highly enjoyed my time here and would stay here again!"
5281159,50166554,2015-10-10,11151288,Jennifer,"Great location, walkable to awesome restaurants and shopping! Check in was super easy and Duane checked in a couple of times to see if we needed anything. Kitchen is well stocked and the entire apartment is clean and modern! Great place to stay!"

Bed was incredibly comfortable with a bunch of extra pillows. Kitchen is laid out nicely and has lots of tools for those like me who like to cook. Location is fantastic if you like The Domain. It is about a 2 block walk from a great bar and 3 blocks or so from a ton of restaurants and shops. Easy parking. I will definitely lease this space again on my next trip to Austin. "
5281159,51086967,2015-10-17,19983073,Courtney,"The apartment was as described, clean, comfortable and secure.  Comfy bed too! My husband and I needed a place to stay near Austin on our last night in the area and this was a convenient location. About 20-30 minutes from the airport and 15-20 minutes from downtown Austin.  Lots of great shopping nearby too, along with restaurants and a movie theater.  I would definitely stay again."
5281159,51680293,2015-10-22,46982967,Mike,"The studio was very clean, decorated wonderfully, and 2 blocks from all the great restaurants.  Duane communicated with me before, during, and after to make sure I was good to go with everything.  Ill stay here again/"

The overall experience while staying at the domain was great! I had a great time while visiting Austin, TX and the surrounding business were a good thing  as well. Overall I would stay here again the place was nice and clean and the apartment you couldn't ask for a better spot while you vacation Thank You Duane. "

5281159,52583275,2015-10-31,36475091,Troy,"Duane was a wonderful host, and the space was spectacular. Duane was very good about keeping in contact with us regarding the space and when we could move in, and he provided great instructions on how we could check ourselves in. The space was very cool, perfect for my girlfriend and I. The cleaning crew that came through before us left the place spotless. There were a bunch of surrounding restaurants within walking distance, and Duane left a binder in the room with his recommendations. I highly recommend staying in this space, book when you can!"

8133062,47839727,2015-09-21,43729201,Miriam,This was an amazing stay! We went down to Austin for my birthday and this house was so well located and fun! There were tons of restaurants nearby so we didn't have to drive anywhere. We enjoyed going on walks down the street and we enjoyed just sitting outside in the backyard because it was so peaceful. The house was adorable and the wood floors were perfect! The beds are so comfy and spacious! It is also a close drive to the bars down 6th street! I loved the privacy we had as well! Nathan trusted us enough and gave us enough information to navigate the house and area. Nathan was readily available for any type of questions. We did not want to leave the house at all. It was a relaxing getaway. Nice quiet area to spend time with friends and just relax but close enough to go visit some bars as well as unique restaurants. Also had fast Internet and a tv with netflix. Backyard was the place to have breakfast and dinner at.
8133062,48610780,2015-09-27,7026364,Mark,"Nathan was very attentive and responsive. We never had any questions which weren't answered immediately. Great house, great area, great experience!!
Highly recommended. "

Excellent, easy communication throughout and such a quaint house in one of my favorite Austin neighborhoods. It was quiet, clean, tastefully decorated, well appointed with everything we needed and the beds were HEAVEN with soft linens and the most comfortable pillows I have ever slept on. I highly recommend this property! Thanks again for such a fantastic stay. Will definitely stay here again upon return to Austin. "
8133062,51210988,2015-10-18,7311898,Clayton,Nathan is a terrific host. He made it easy to check in and had the place ready for us. We knew Austin very well and that this was a great area to stay.  But we were still blown away by the quality of this house
8133062,51942438,2015-10-25,23723015,Nathan,"Easy check-in, awesome location. Easy access to Mopac if you need to travel away from downtown and it is an easy Uber/Lyft ride to Campus/6th St./Rainey St.

House exactly as described. Shame it rained all weekend as I would've loved to have breakfast on the patio! Beds were very comfortable, awesome Pottery Barn sheets."
8133062,52283416,2015-10-27,15936648,Seth,"Clean, great location, and Nathan was quick to respond to any texts I sent his way. He even brought us some extra blankets. Would recommend highly, and would definitely stay again. "

"
5619972,28289792,2015-03-21,29509887,Clayton,Best location for the real SXSW experience!! Rachael and Matt were extremely accommodating and welcomed us to Austin. The house has been re-modeled and designed to perfection. Our favorite part was relaxing on one of the three porches and enjoying the cool Austin nights. Would recommend this location for anyone who wants to experience all that Austin has to offer!
5619972,28496332,2015-03-24,29273953,Tommy,"All around great! *****
Rachel was very accomodating and kind.
Her home is contemporary and comfortable.nice layout with an open feel.great for hanging out and telling tall tales from the night before.
All new appliances so no worries there.
I'd definitely stay again-a great sxsw escape yet within walking distance to  the heart of the action.
I had a great time.

5619972,30332604,2015-04-20,24837507,Peggy,"We had a fantastic stay! On our arrival there were some snacks waiting for us, and Rachael was kind enough to meet us, show us around the bungalow, and recommend some local places to eat. She was available for questions throughout the weekend and was accommodating to special requests. The bungalow was bright, clean and comfortable - including the beds! Everything was in great working condition. We had no issues and would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Austin! "
5619972,31367152,2015-05-04,27048307,Sara,This house is stunning. It is clean and quiet and perfect. I feel spoiled after staying at Rachael's home. The level of detail and effort put into the home was wonderful. It is close enough to walk to all the hot spots yet far enough away where you don't have 6th street party-goers waking you up in the middle of the night. We will most definitely be back. Rachael thought of everything and even welcomed us with chips and salsa. I can't say enough great things about this place.
5619972,31947020,2015-05-12,29466214,Ben,"This is a great, newly renovated house in east Austin.  Lots of great spots within easy walking distance.  Easy access to B Cycle station and metro.  Quick to and from the airport.  Nice beds.  Kept very clean.  Owner is great to work with.  I highly recommend.  "
5619972,32566238,2015-05-19,20658339,Katherine,"See my review below - I stayed a few more nights in the house alone after my friends left! Happy to report that I felt comfortable there on my own - it's a really welcoming little place, and there's a security system that you can turn on at night if you are a solo female traveler :)"
5619972,32716266,2015-05-20,20658339,Katherine,"Rachael was the perfect hostess. My flight got in late but she gave me the option to either meet me at the house for a quick tour or deliver the keys via lock-box. She had delicious chips and salsa waiting for me, and treats for my pup. She was also immediately responsive to a couple questions that came up during our stay!

The house was even better than the photos. Beautifully renovated, perfectly decorated and just great energy overall. It was also spotless and a super comfortable place to spend a weekend with friends.

Location is perfection - it's an easy walk to tons of great restaurants, food trucks and nightlife. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks Rachel!"
5619972,34606283,2015-06-09,35045933,Jonny,The property was extremely nice inside and Rachel was more than welcoming and accommodating. The neighborhood does look a little questionable depending on what you're used to and there is a cemetery across the street. Inside the place was beautiful and had a very cozy feel to it! Would definitely stay there again! 
5619972,34617031,2015-06-09,35149130,David,The host canceled this reservation 135 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5619972,35169890,2015-06-15,1308346,Ethan,"Rough.  Tasty.  Wonderful.

To be clear - the property is beautiful.  From the security system to the stove, Rachael's place rocks.

The location is stellar (though the ride from the airport might not accentuate the situation).  Within two blocks are wonderful bars, restaurants and more hipsters than you can shake a stick at.  Add two more blocks, and you discover East Austin's culinary (and cocktail-i-ary) gems.

Rachael is a great communicator - she kept in touch and made sure that we had phone numbers to call in the event that we ran into challenges.  

Back to the space - wonderful.  The three bedrooms worked perfectly with our group and everyone slept well.  The living room was comfortable and convenient - we were even able to use Rachael's Netflix account as guests.

The security system is informative and flexible and the air conditioning was a godsend.

Rough neighborhood.

Tasty restaurants and bars.

Wonderful space.

I would go back in a minute.

Thanks, Rachael!"
5619972,35889718,2015-06-22,36070218,Joe,Rachael was an excellent host! Her home was a perfect fit for a business partner traveling into town and you can't beat the location. We highly recommend Rachael's home for anyone traveling to Austin!
5619972,37359059,2015-07-06,27845745,Carmel,"Rachael was very accommodating and the bungalow was the perfect addition to the Austin experience. The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of downtown and a convenient walk to all the nightlife. Rachael's response time was impeccable and I definitely appreciated the small touches to make us feel at home. "
5619972,39083555,2015-07-20,13078306,Nancy,"Our stay at Rachael's place was perfect! The neighborhood feels up & coming and trendy. The location was excellent. The home itself was spacious, very clean, with comfy beds and linens, great wifi connection, good central AC, and helpful guides and info about the home and neighborhood. Plenty of space for our family of 4 and a 1 y/o lab. Rachael was always available if we needed anything. Will definitely stay here again, highly recommend!! "
5619972,42007412,2015-08-10,38677787,Karlina,"What a great home to stay in! It was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. It's a great pick for you and your friends or family to stay in Austin. They left us chocolates on our pillows and chips and salsa to snack on. I loved the way it was decorated and the location is great. Right there in downtown Austin. Overall a great place to stay. I will definitely stay there again if I'm going back to Austin."
5619972,43585557,2015-08-20,7746242,Lori,Beautiful property with 3 complete bedrooms and 2 living areas.  Plenty of towels and extra linens.  The beds were comfortable too.  It was last minute quick trip and Rachel was quick to reapond to my request to bookmark all of my questions.  She even had the property ready 2 hours early! It was walking distance to several restaurants and bars.  The kitchen was stocked so we could cook and thanks for the water! I will definitely stay here again.
5619972,46126669,2015-09-08,7343934,Adri,"The bungalow was everything I hoped for and more.  Clean, cool, and roomy.  Convenient walking distance from everything.  Rachael was flexible and responsive. "
5619972,49761095,2015-10-06,32773948,Will,"This place was amazing. We intimidate loved it from walking in. Rachael made everything with check in and check out super easy and stress free. This was the perfect place for my friends and I during ACL weekend. We biked to the park and back, then had plenty of room in the living room to crank up some music and dance ;)
Awesome kitchen, bathrooms, and bedrooms. We absolutely loved our stay. "
7662548,41538952,2015-08-07,7178468,Brendon,"Luca's apartment is fantastic.  He greeted me when I arrived and walked me through the place.  Very stylish.  The property is beautiful as well, with a backyard so large it looks like a ranch!  Very close to restaurants on Lamar and easy to take the bus downtown.  Luca was a great host as well."
7662548,43841500,2015-08-22,5786088,Olga,"Beautiful studio in a great up and coming part of Austin. Luca was a great host, easy to communicate with and always available. Would definitely stay again."
7662548,45527712,2015-09-03,7178468,Brendon,Once again my stay at Luca's place was fantastic.  Very quiet & comfortable.  Very close to public transit as well.  Easily my favorite place to stay in Austin.
7662548,45835452,2015-09-06,155844,Jennifer,"This apartment was the perfect haven for a busy wedding weekend in Austin after a very long flight from overseas. I found the place easily by car late at night, and was able to quietly let myself in with no trouble. Really appreciated the views, the comfy bed, stocked kitchen, and the light, quiet, clean space! It was too hot to sit on the balcony, but in cooler months it would be lovely. Extra bonus points for being just a few blocks from one of my favorite taco joints, Papalote. Luca was out of town when I stayed, but was very helpful in setting up my arrival."
7662548,46508795,2015-09-11,17383645,Scott,"Luca an Dede were great hosts!  The apartment was very clean and had all the necessities.  Also, the place is well located near south Lamar with easy access to downtown."
7662548,46930637,2015-09-14,20620090,Kia,"My boyfriend and I had a great time in Austin, and Luca's place made us feel at home. It was very welcoming, and we loved coming back to it at the end of every day. The space was clean and cozy! Nothing was very far - tons to see and do less than 10 min away. "
7662548,47732400,2015-09-21,7309923,Megan & Blake,My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this cozy apartment. Our host was out of town but their house sitter/friend made us feel welcome in their place. We would love to stay here again. 
7662548,48716061,2015-09-28,40895493,Marc,"This place was great - conveniently located (every place we needed to be was a 5-15 minute drive) in a quiet neighborhood. There's a small park across the street, Barton Springs is a 20-minute walk and South Lamar (a few blocks away) has everything you need (food, shopping, etc). The host texted me everyday to make sure our stay was pleasurable. I'd definitely rent this apartment again. "
7662548,49228166,2015-10-02,41098650,Shannon,"Convenient location! Comfortable bed with central air (you control thermostat on wall) and hot water (no tub so be prepared for showers only), clean towels, shampoo, face wash on hand. Tea available with sugar, salt, hot sauce. Ice trays in freezer. A water and 2 TX LoneStar beers chilled in the refrigerator upon arrival! What a welcome! I even took a (website hidden) with Roku was easily accessible. WiFi too with the pw Luca provided. Keyless entry on door was great! Extra toilet paper and napkins stocked with dish soap and sponge on hand. Great porch to relax and enjoy the space just outside and still on the 2nd story. Outdoor park across the street too! Parked in the shell lot off street most nights. His lot is shared with the house owner so keep that in mind! Plenty street parking available regardless aside from when nearby school was letting out. Luca was out of the country but left really nice people in charge who greeted us and offered to be of assistance any time. I'm def planning to book this spot again on my next Austin adventure. We used Lyft to get to the shops on S Congress, but all the spots on S Lamar are pretty within walking or biking distance. Thanks again, Luca! Looking forward to returning!"
7662548,49610642,2015-10-05,17179408,Sheyane,"This apartment is located in an up and coming part of Austin. It looks exactly like the pictures. Luca was out of town, but Dede was there to correspond with while there. She was not intrusive, and we felt welcome to be there. I would stay here again."
7662548,50627365,2015-10-13,39154306,Kayla,"Absolutely loved this little apartment! It's a fantastic location--very central to Zilker Park, downtown, and South Austin.

nice and private with a comfortable bed.  it was just like the pictures."

7662548,51497694,2015-10-20,17781563,Ella,"Oh man, this was the best Airbnb ever!! Perfect location, perfect room, perfect host. Luca was in Italy when we were there, but Dede was super helpful. She let us do our own thing but made our arrival really easy. There was beer and donuts in the fridge when we got there and the place was spotless. Really cozy and hard for us to leave and explore Austin because we wanted to just hang out inside! Highly recommend this place. "
7662548,51721292,2015-10-24,3013320,Steve,Luca's apartment was great! Perfect location to explore Austin. Quiet and eclectic neighborhood with great restaurants within walking distance.
7662548,52080935,2015-10-26,15152324,Lindsey,Cute studio apartment. Came in for the F1 race and it worked out great for 2 people. Close to a number of restaurants and convenient to get around. 
7662548,52684746,2015-11-01,19229392,Christy,"All the details were well thought out. Spacious, filled with light, and with all that you could need for your stay and more. Everything was very cozy and comfortable. It's clear that Luca creates a welcoming environment that immediately makes you feel at home. We loved staying here--even through the stormy weather we had during our visit--and would highly recommend it to others!"

4270302,21643934,2014-10-20,22572583,Kelsey,"Our time in Austin was definitely enhanced by the stay in the Su-su studio! It's a neat, clean space, with all of the basic amenities. We did not get to meet Whitney and Erik, but they made sure we had everything we needed. Communication was very simple, and we got in and out very easily. Definitely recommend this space! About a 10-15 minute uber to downtown, probably less with no traffic. (And there's always an uber available in Austin apparently) so pretty convenient location too! "
4270302,22275044,2014-11-02,21196245,Courtney,The Su-Su Studio is extremely cute and all that we needed during our trip to Austin.  My only regret was honestly not staying longer!  The host sent us easy instructions to get settled in and local eateries that were amazing.  The location was great to get to downtown or SoCo.  I would definitely stay here again.  Thank you for the hospitality!
4270302,22535696,2014-11-09,22217855,Lacey,"My boyfriend and  I had a wonderful stay at Whitney and Erik's! From the beginning they were extremely friendly and had immediate response time when communicating. Their welcome email had every piece of information we could have needed which came in very helpful throughout the weekend.

When we got to the place it was just as pictured. They had many small details that we loved - a few water bottles and beer in the fridge, snacks, coffee, shampoo, face wash, umbrella just in case, etc. The roku was a nice and useful touch that came in handy also. It was very cozy and just what we had been looking for!

I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin. "
4270302,23702358,2014-12-08,4183964,Harley And Holly,"We never got a chance to meet Whitney & Erik, but the studio they offer is amazing!  We felt right at home the moment we walked in.  The place is spacious enough to hang out and watch TV and relax, and is great to come back to after a whole day of sightseeing.  In the studio, I noticed they provided some amenities that seem small, but are very nice gestures that mean a lot.  Things like having a couple of water bottles in the fridge and some Keurig coffee in the morning are so very welcome after a day of traveling.  I was really thankful!  I also really liked the amenities - all brand new.  The bathroom has shower soap, shampoo and conditioner.  They had a hairdryer and everything.  I thought it was really nice that they provided an umbrella, as rain was in the forecast during our visit.  They really thought of everything that made us feel welcome.
Overall, I would highly recommend staying there!"
4270302,23931712,2014-12-14,576099,Andrew,Whitney and Erik were the perfect hosts. The studio was perfect and I felt at home. By the time I left I felt as if we were all good friends! I can't wait to stay here again!
4270302,24208777,2014-12-22,24843122,Sam,Whitney and Erik were great hosts and the place was amazing! Very bright and clean with everything you could possibly want or need. Cool quiet neighborhood just a quick cheap Uber ride from downtown. I had Phil Collins in my head the whole weekend haha

4270302,25552046,2015-01-19,9495193,Le'Anna,"Whitney and Erik's place in Austin has been my favorite airbnb stay thus far.  It was impeccably clean and comfortable.  There were great little touches such as the coffee maker, snacks, and water in the fridge.  Even though we did not run into each other, it was easy to communicate with them via email and text.  If I'm ever in Austin for a visit, I'll know where to stay.  The neighborhood is perfect - close to downtown and near great dining.  I really appreciated the fact that it was completely detached from the main house for privacy.  "
4270302,26539595,2015-02-15,25865555,Ben,Perfect location. Whitney + Erik were incredibly responsive throughout our stay. The room was clean and comfortable. We definitely plan on booking again when we are back in Austin. Stay here!
4270302,26801082,2015-02-19,22216313,Dey,"The room was spacious and clean. Just as described in the listing and as shown in the pictures. It's a quiet neighborhood, so we were able to sleep without any trouble. The bed was super comfy. You can walk everywhere from the apartment. You can walk to downtown if you have the time and the strength for it. We loved that it was easy to walk from there to everywhere. There are a few good restaurants near by which is also great. And 2 blocks away you have a gas station and store. Which is super convenient! We got a flat tire one day and it was easy to go to the gas station to get air and then going somewhere else to get it fix. The only thing we did not like was that the internet was very unstable and we depend a lot on the internet, so that was very upsetting. Other than that I have no complains."
4270302,27269740,2015-03-01,1426300,Kasey,"We LOVED our stay at Su-Su-Studio (I mean really, the name should have been our first clue), so much so that shortly after checking in we booked it for our next trip in March! Whitney & Erik did a beautiful job making the space so welcoming and cozy. We really appreciated how well appointed the space was, clearly a lot of thought was put into it! As a former Austin resident, the location is great! It is centrally located and just a short drive from some of the best Austin food spots (Uchiko is mere minutes away!). Whitney and Erik were wonderful hosts, we can't recommend staying here enough! "
4270302,27557694,2015-03-07,2885311,Russell,"Whitney & Erik are really awesome...they're great to rent from; really friendly, have a clean place that is exactly like the pics (actually, it was better than I thought it would be) and are eager to make sure you have a great stay.

For the price, the location is great.  You can be downtown in a car or Uber in 10 minutes no problem.

It's also a quiet neighbourhood, so you'll get some good sleep.

It's a self-contained 1-room apartment above their garage, with bathroom, so you feel like it's your own little place.

There's a few really nice and amusing touches on this place, but I won't tell you what they are, as it'll ruin your fun...but it'll put a smile on your face.

Would definitely stay (website hidden). The bed is so comfy!"
4270302,28205535,2015-03-20,2680163,Danilo,The apartment is exactly as described. To go to downtown we bought bicycles and the journey lasted about 20 minutes in a pleasant and safe bike lanes through the neighborhood with a lot of local shops.  Whitney and Erik are a perfect hosts. They answer all of messages promptly all the time. It's a great choice to do! 
4270302,28637808,2015-03-27,20864961,Philip,"BETTER THAN ANY FIVE STAR HOTEL

We've been staying in hotels and motels throughout Texas and thought we'd switch to airbnb for Austin (as SXSW had made the hotels a bit pricey).

This place is an airbnb gem.  Whitney/Erik are instantly communicative and responsive--but not intrusive in any way.  We were able to check in without any fuss or issue--if only all life could be so easy.  The location for us was great--many famous places were near by (Kerbey Lane, Central Market grocery store, Taco Deli, Houndstooth coffee, Epoch coffee, Biscuits and Groovy...).

The place was exactly as you see it.  Spacious compared to any hotel--and with a bed that is more comfortable!  The decor is fun, stylish, and very thoughtful.  Small finishes gave me ideas for my own home:  i.e. there are seamless retractable door hooks on the bathroom door for three towels.  The AC is quiet and top notch.  There is no cable TV, but they do provide a TV monitor for chrome casting.   As most young people stream entertainment nowadays--this is essentially a guest space for the with-it modern traveler.

Near the end of our trip, we ran low on coffee, and the hosts brought us extra cups and k-cups.  

We miss Erik/Whitney's place--we're back on the road now, missing the high speed internet and comfy bed and their gracious, happy, thoughtfully live-able, and well located home.  Thanks for letting us  stay!"
4270302,28996825,2015-04-02,1426300,Kasey,We had another lovely stay at Su-Su Studio! Looking forward to our next trip back in May! This place is such a gem!
4270302,29181323,2015-04-05,16813258,Harrison,Awesome place and awesome hosts! Whitney and Erik do an amazing job at providing a cool studio and equally great job on being hosts. I would recommended anyone to stay here! 
4270302,29831051,2015-04-13,27785861,Daniella,"The su-su-studio was a great place to stay! Whitney and Erik are great hosts. The welcome letter was very thought out and they left us tons of information about local spots to hit up in Austin. The studio looked just like the pictures, if not better. Very clean and comfortable! It was a perfect place for my husband and I to stay in. Coffee, snacks, and water were provided...it really made us feel like home. I highly recommend the studio, good spots to eat nearby and just a short drive into downtown. "

We got a list of recommendations of places to eat from Whitney and Erik. They were also reachable when we needed to contact them. Incredibly reliable! Definitely excited to be in Austin again, because we are missing the Su Su! "
4270302,31786219,2015-05-10,1426300,Kasey,"To say that we love staying at Su-Su Studio is an understatement. We have to travel very often for work and having such a lovely place to stay each time we are in Austin makes a world of difference. It's funny, now when we check it, it feels like we are arriving at our second home. As if the wonderfully appointed studio with a killer location wasn't enough, Whitney & Erik are equally amazing. If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin, look no further! "
4270302,38569184,2015-07-16,13350041,Moritz,All perfect. Thanks
4270302,38848396,2015-07-19,16108711,Mindy,We enjoyed our stay in the Su-Su Studio. The apartment was spotless upon arrival. Bed is comfortable and the amenities perfect. It was nice to be able to make a cup of coffee in the morning and keep our left overs from dinner in the refrigerator. We will definitely be coming back! 
4270302,39893157,2015-07-26,38308811,Alan,"The place was exactly as pictured, very nice and clean when I arrived. Getting in was easy and the snacks and drinks left by Erik and Whitney were a nice touch that made me feel welcome. The neighborhood was nice and had many interesting things within biking / walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone."
4270302,42756901,2015-08-15,30647229,Yu,"My wife and I are moving in Austin from Shanghai and we found this as our temporary spot. We did compare this bnb with some other hotel options, and I have to say it was a such a wise decision to stay here instead. The room is spacious, location is excellent for traveling back and forth to UT, the neighborhood is quiet and safe, with couple of good Asian restaurants in walking distance. 

Whitney has been truly helpful during our stay, gave us many advice on directions and helped us to extend our nights even it was a sort of last minute request. 

 Highly recommend this bnb to anyone, I guarantee you will enjoy it."
4270302,43889174,2015-08-22,10794968,Emma,"My husband and I had a fantastic stay at the studio. We took an impromptu road trip--Whitney and Erik responded to us within minutes of my request. They were hugely helpful, communicative, and kind. The most important things we look for in a stay are cleanliness and comfort--we can be picky!--and we found both here. It's obvious that Whitney and Erik put a lot of care and effort into the studio. Spotlessly clean, powerful but ridiculously quiet AC kept us cool, great bathroom and shower with good pressure, clean, comfy linens. The beers in the fridge, coffee for the morning and snacks were an extra great touch. Location in Hyde Park was wonderful--we were a short walk or drive from wonderful restaurants, bars, and cute boutiques. 15 mins drive to downtown for bat viewing and Soco adventures. Next time we visit Austin we'll definitely be staying at the studio again. Highly recommended!"
4270302,45954096,2015-09-07,38079679,John,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Whitney and Erik's studio apartment during our visit to Austin recently. It was loaded with charm (the pictures don't do it justice), and was located in a great part of town, with plenty of awesome dining establishments nearby. Their wecome email also included many fantastic recommendations about things to do and see during our trip.  "
4270302,46833266,2015-09-13,29350208,Jenny,"Whitney and Erik are wonderful hosts. They are very professional and responded quickly whenever we had questions or needed something.   For a couple's weekender trip, the studio was exactly what we were looking for, and the pictures listed were 100% accurate. The room was clean, quiet, and reasonably priced for the size/quality. We would stay here again without a doubt! "

We were welcomed with bottled water and a couple bottles of local beer. Loved the decor! It does get pretty bright in the morning with the blinds closed, but we were happy because we wanted to get up and going early :) The AC was convenient to use with the remote and the chrome cast television was easy to figure out. They were so gracious to let us stay a little longer because they didn't have travelers coming in upon our departure. Thank you guys so much for making out first air bnb experience so lovely :) xoxo"

4270302,52021753,2015-10-25,44487833,Dan,"A fantastic retreat in a perfect location for exploring Austin.

The room is perfectly equipped with a big comfy bed and a spacious, immaculately clean bathroom complete with toiletries with fluffy towels and toiletries supplied. The room is light, airy and of a very good size. True to description, Downtown Austin is a short drive/Uber ride away. If you are of the more public transport savvy type, the Metro Rail is close by. The location is perfect for exploring Austin by day and by night - And we recommend watching the Longhorns. The stadium and atmosphere is awesome. 

Lovely little touches such as beer, water and the coffee machine made the Studio very welcoming indeed.

Finally, Whitney and Eric are great! They provide a plethora of information to help you make the most of your visit to the Texas Capital. They are are very communicative and will be in touch regularly to ensure that everything is running smoothly, and that you are enjoying your stay. That said, their excellent coded lock system means that, should you not wish to, you never actually have to see them. However, this would be a great shame as they are genuinely lovely people who made us feel very welcome.

In a nutshell, if you are looking for a quiet romantic break, a base to explore the city of Austin and/or you would like to meet some great new people, Su-Su Studio is the place for you.

6721639,52768922,2015-11-01,19040554,Krystal,"Absolutely loved this location and would definitely use again in future! Pictures didn't do this place justice. It was perfect for our needs, and it was very clean. Beds were very comfy! We had clean towels and bathroom toiletries in case we forgot our own. The neighborhood feels very ""Austin-y"" and you are so close to EVERYTHING. We walked everywhere and loved being able to do so. Joe was very quick to answer questions and was very friendly and accommodating to our requests and needs. He made us feel welcome and I really appreciate him letting us use his lovely home for our Halloween/Birthday weekend! Thanks, Joe! :) "

4502432,24567826,2014-12-30,478544,Jaci,"I've had a difficult time with this review. The house was basically perfect. The host, Larissa, is very hands-on—to be honest, uncomfortably. This is a long review, but here's the gist: the house was wonderful, but I wouldn't recommend Larissa to my friends, so I can't recommend her as a host to anyone else. Our trip was last-minute, and on even shorter notice I requested a one night extension which Larissa quickly approved. I told her that our flight would arrive late the next day. We went out for food and drinks after our flight and didn't get to the house until later. Larissa texted several times while we were out, wondering if we had arrived. It was a bit overbearing, but not a huge deal. In the morning she asked that I call and check in, something no other host has asked. I figured she was trying to go above and beyond. We chatted and she seemed nice. The next day she texted: ""[...] I'm going to stop by the house today to check on your needs, if dishes need to be washed, if you need clean towels or anything like that. Any requests while I am there today?"" This was also a first. No host has ever requested to enter a home (and this wasn't even a request). Since we'd only been there two nights and hadn't asked for anything, we weren't sure why she needed to come by. I thought she may have wanted to check out the home and it felt like an invasion of privacy. I texted back that our footprint was small, that there was nothing that needed to be done, and thanked her for the offer. She replied saying that she still needed to stop by because she needed to grab things for another listing and asked if she'd be disturbing us. It bothered us, but I told her she wouldn't be since we were out. Later that day she texted informing us that her home was double-booked the following morning and that there would be a few women doing hair and makeup in the living room while we were getting ready to leave. She offered us an extra hour for checkout and said she would bring coffee and tacos for our trouble, saying she'd forgotten when she approved our extension. Up to that point we'd assumed she was trying too hard to be a good host, but this was unprofessional and inappropriate. I was uncomfortable that strangers would be in the house with us when we'd paid for privacy. I'd have rather found somewhere else to stay to avoid a stressful checkout. We texted back and forth awhile. She was clearly frustrated with us, but in the end moved her other obligation. I hate to leave a negative review since the house was wonderful, but Larissa's behavior was overbearing and overstepped our comfort too many times. She also messed up, never truly took responsibility, and made us feel like we should oblige..."
4502432,24776406,2015-01-02,18200906,Elisabeth,"The cottage is a real girly house; nice and cozy. Larissa even had a heated blanket for us! We were very well taken care of with coffee, tea, shampoo's etc. The communication was good and we had a great stay in Austin!"
4502432,26828807,2015-02-20,12272453,Jenna,"Larissa and her home were great - beautifully decorated and perfectly cozy. Larissa is a great communicator and is very thoughtful and accommodating. Additionally, the area could not have been better - close to everything and a very safe neighborhood. "
4502432,27555962,2015-03-07,26862265,Leslie,"My wife and I stayed at the cottage and we had a great experience, It was so cold in Austin, however Larissa made it very comfortable and pleasant. Thanks Larissa for being such great host. Love the tea,  coffee and snacks you provided.  "
4502432,28006410,2015-03-16,26803452,Todd,Larissa was super prompt with any and all communication and made me feel very welcome upon arrival. Great location within easy walking distance to downtown. Nice place and very comfortable.
4502432,28289569,2015-03-21,7208014,Rob,"Larissa was a phenomenal host in a great location. We were in a bind (our original AirBNB has to cancel) and she helped us out tremendously. The space is lovely - well decorated, cute little home. She cooked us delicious blueberry muffins as well. I've seen some negative reviews about Larissa's interactive nature but they weren't true. Larissa was very communicative and pleasant, asking us if we needed anything, etc. There's laundry in the back of the house that is blocked off from the front where she may come and go, but she made it clear when she was coming or going and made sure to check if it was alright. We never met Larissa in person but the experience was top notch."
4502432,28917979,2015-03-31,26048696,Larry,"Larissa carefully tracked our arrival time, making sure that her house was spotless and ready when we arrived.  We was immediately available to say hello and make sure we had what we needed.  The location is ideal--a quiet block (except for some morning rush hour traffic heading toward downtown), within walking distance of South Congress, 1st Avenue, the river, and points in-between.  Ideal place for a couple to retreat to after visiting sites, clubs, festivals, etc."
4502432,29871702,2015-04-13,28751032,Mercedes,"Austin is a great town made even better by having a great place to crash and we very much enjoyed our stay. Larissa's cottage is cute, cozy and in a very nice neighborhood. Her little house was perfect for our needs with a comfy bed, wi-fi, movies and plenty of little extra's like coffee, tea and snacks.  As there is no kitchen available, don't plan on cooking and why would you with so many amazing dining options very near by? From food trucks to fine dining, you can get anything your heart desires within walking distance of the Bouldin neighborhood.

Larissa was great in getting me all the right information for the house, as well as what to do and where to eat while in Austin. We only briefly met Larissa (she's vey sweet) and felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Thanks, Larissa! "
4502432,30310503,2015-04-20,15195149,CeCe,Larissa made everything perfect for our stay in Austin.  Her home is tastefully decorated and the location is the best.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat.  Many thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.  
4502432,30705466,2015-04-26,137182,Kim,The space is lovely and well situated for a fun Austin experience. We walked to Torchy's and Elizabeth St Cafe for breakfast. The linens were nice and the bed comfortable for sleeping. The neighborhood is quiet and cute.  A great stay. 
4502432,31277412,2015-05-03,20292579,Ritesh,Larissa was great and the home was so cozy and clean!

4502432,35030584,2015-06-14,32017988,Sarah,"My fiancé and I had a wonderful time at Larissa's cottage. We loved that it was centrally located. It is only about a mile away from South Congress, a short driver to Rainey Street or downtown, and there are many delicious food trucks within walking distance. The cottage itself is very nicely decorated, and it is obvious Larissa puts a lot of thought into preparing her home for guests. She had everything we needed, and the description and pictures are accurate. During our visit Larissa was supposed to be out of town, but her plans fell through and she had to stay in the back half of the house during our stay. She made sure to check with us first in case we had an issue with it, but we assured her we did not. Larissa and her son were very quiet and we barely even knew they were there. We did meet them briefly and they were both very sweet. Overall, we had a really nice time and would consider staying at Larissa's cottage in the future."
4502432,35429800,2015-06-18,9095623,Stephen,My experience was good; everything was just as the posting described. Larissa was also accomodating of my early check in and was a great host.
4502432,49050423,2015-09-30,20260006,Jeff,Lovely cottage.  Very clean and well located.  Larissa was great and very accommodating.  Definitely recommend.
4502432,49524777,2015-10-04,38116359,Paula,"Are lovely host and her adorable son Kai were just delightful and welcoming to us. The house is darling and in such a great part of town. ACL was going on and traffic was tough but B bikes, (austin's city bikes) were right down the hill, so getting around was a breeze. Larissa spoiled us with great coffee and a comfy bed. "
963988,8684386,2013-11-12,4934515,New,Casey's house was so sweet and perfect for our family of four. We were in Austin for a wedding weekend and were completely comfortable. Everything was super clean and organized but totally kid friendly with toys and books and even bikes to borrow. The neighborhood was quiet and the epsom salts in the bathrooms for relaxing soaks hit the spot. 
963988,8812965,2013-11-19,3308848,Alex,Absolutely lovely new house in a quiet neighborhood.
963988,10955958,2014-03-15,11181840,Tessie,"The place was cute and clean!  The hosts were very accommodating and reliable.  The house is in a wonderful neighborhood, right next to a beautiful park.  We'd definitely stay there again! "
963988,33307931,2015-05-26,21890712,Jordan,"We loved staying at Casey's house! Wonderful, quiet neighborhood in a great location for easy access to all of Austin's sights.  Casey was super communicative and worked with us when dealing with delayed flights! Great experience, highly recommended!"
963988,46070139,2015-09-07,5988113,Lindsay,"The house was everything that we could have asked for! We had plenty of room for our family of five, and we enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. There is a children's park and a Sunday Farmers Market within walking distance. Casey left detailed instructions for the house, and even allowed my children to play with her children's toys. Breakfast and coffee were provided for the first day, and we felt right at home. "
963988,50613040,2015-10-13,31545977,Denise,"Host made us feel welcome by having coffee, bagels, juice and bananas for the morning. They also left a detailed letter for any possible information about the house or neighborhood we would need. Also had Epsom salts and essential oils for bathing if we wanted. Cleared space in closets to use. Made us feel like returning for sure.  "
2065053,10781994,2014-03-07,81928,Evan,"The place is brand-new and totally private and secluded. With lots of light and very easy access. It's a very short walk to the conference center and downtown areas. There's a great cafe for breakfast just 2 blocks away.

It is beautifully furnished and has every convenience you could need. I'm very glad I stayed here and not at a hotel. I'd highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin."
2065053,11156703,2014-03-23,12734385,Alisa,"I had a lovely stay in this beautifully decorated apartment.  I was attending a conference at a hotel across from the convention center and found the location to be really convenient.  I walked to and from the conference during the day and then cabbed it back at night (even a bike cab one night!).

The place had everything I needed - really comfortable bedding, fabulous shower, kitchen supplies, internet access - and thoughtful considerations like delicious coffee, an umbrella, walk-in closet with some hangers, and austin-specific books and literature.

The hosts provided timely and detailed information before my trip and good tips when I met them in person.  I enjoyed meeting them.  "
2065053,11249043,2014-03-26,1719039,Kortney,"This was a lovely, well-appointed, and thoughtfully stocked place to stay.  Cristina made everything easy and was very friendly and welcoming.  The location was convenient, as well.  I highly recommend staying here when you're in Austin!"
2065053,11330457,2014-03-30,736388,Alla,"Beautiful apartment, so thoughtfully stocked and decorated, and a great location.  We were able to walk everywhere and loved getting to explore the city. Enjoyed my stay immensely and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Austin.  "
2065053,11802926,2014-04-15,11136035,Lorraine,"Our first Airbnb experience and it was fantastic.  Cristina was patient and timely with ALL of my queries and the apartment was just perfect.  It's well appointed, clean, private and such a great location.  It was easy to find and we were able to leave our car at the apartment and walk everywhere downtown; maybe grabbing a short cab ride back if necessary.  The local restaurants and bars were awesome, we liked the Rainey St area the best.
It was better value and probably way better than any hotel room in Austin & I wouldn't hesitate to stay here next time I am in Austin."
2065053,12620932,2014-05-06,13572775,Jason,"Had an excellent stay.  The apartment was in perfect condition, incredibly clean and with plenty of convenient amenities.  It's also in a great location for getting to a number of favorite spots.  I would absolutely go back."
2065053,12754469,2014-05-10,267654,Jeff,"Cristina and the space were both amazing!  Every detail from the kitchen to the bedroom reflected Cristina's knack for style and quality.  First Class!

Will definitely suggest the place to friends and family that visit us in Austin.

Proximity to restaurants, bars and downtown was excellent.  Cenote especially for breakfast/coffee, maybe the best in the city."
2065053,12850842,2014-05-12,14711922,Anyeshka,"So awesome and more amazing than we expected!  The whole time my friend and I were saying, ""can you believe this place?"".  It has everything you need and great little touches to make it feel like you're somewhere special.  Location is fantastic!  We are New Yorkers so we dug the 5-10 minute walk to some cool neighborhoods near by but it was easy to call a cab if we needed to get somewhere quickly.

Christina herself was lovely and very communicative during our stay when we had questions.

We will be back!  Thank you for everything, Christina!"
2065053,13084400,2014-05-19,14159636,Colleen,"My search for places to stay in Austin began with looking up crazy expensive hotels. I stumbled across this place on the internet and decided to book this place immediately. I could not have been happier with this decision. This place offers tons of privacy, is thoughtfully stocked and very cozy. The decor is outstanding and really heightened my Austin experience. Cristina and John were extremely nice and helpful with giving suggestions to restaurants and attractions (we went with their suggestion of eating at Casino El Camino on 6th street and I had the best burger of my life!). The location is fabulous and only walking distance from a bunch of downtown hot spots. I cannot wait to come back and stay again! Thanks for the good ol' Texan hospitality :)"
2065053,13602541,2014-06-01,12811640,Georgian,"Great location! So convenient to anywhere in Austin. Great accommodations - it had everything we could have asked for - a full kitchen, washer/dryer, wireless internet, parking, and cable. We felt like we were at home. "
2065053,13961074,2014-06-09,14131063,Adam And Lesia,"The listing was better than expected!  This is the perfect place to stay.  Cristina provided great suggestions for restaurants and answered our enquiries right away.  We would recommend this place to anyone wanting a comfy, quiet, spacious place to stay.  It is easy walking distance to downtown and several other funky neighbourhoods and pubs.  The air conditioner kept the place at the ideal cold temperature and was quiet.  The linens were high quality.  We will be back."
2065053,15015981,2014-06-30,17266073,Nathaniel,A really nice place and Christina is super responsive.  I'll definitely be back!
2065053,15346022,2014-07-07,16859415,Kristin,"This adorable apartment combined with a stellar location made for a perfect July 4th weekend in Austin. The number of unique cocktail bars (highly recommend Whisler's: 1816 E 6th St and Firehouse Lounge: 605 Brazos St) and delicious restaurants (our favorite was Clark's Oyster Bar: 1200 W. 6th Street) made for great entertainment. We opted to use Uber ((website hidden)) when venturing out from the apartment; again, which is conveniently located near downtown and Rainey Street. The apartment itself is spacious for two people and there is plenty of room to kick back and relax while deciding where to explore next. Cristina has done an impressive job decorating the carport guest suite to feel ""vintage Austin."" She was also wonderful in keeping in touch with us when any questions arose. Huge fan of the spacious shower!! This was so much better than staying in a hotel and I'm sure we'll be back for another visit!  "
2065053,15632125,2014-07-13,16065727,Karen,The place was fanatic and we had a great time!  Cristina prepared everything for us including anything you could need at the house and tips on places to visit and eat at.  The location was great and made for an excellent and comfortable first trip to Austin.
2065053,16184477,2014-07-22,17162244,Ed,"What an amazing place.  The location was great, close to sixth street and a quick drive or bike ride to Congress. Christina's recommendations were very helpful and accurate.  The apartment was very nice and she thought of everything we needed.  My girlfriend and I loved our first stay so much we booked another night and are already planning another stay and hopefully here.  "
2065053,16430549,2014-07-27,56972,Joseph,"Cristina's AirBnB space is pretty much perfect. Everything is new and works perfectly, the decoration is nicely done, and the location is a 15 minute walk to downtown and a 10 minute walk to the Eastside bars and restaurants, which are better than downtown anyway. Cristina ensures that everything is in perfect working order when you arrive, and she's available anytime with tips and advice. You'll be glad you stayed here."
2065053,16676216,2014-07-31,14251729,Amy,"I loved staying at Cristina's place! It is close to everything, beautifully decorated, and felt just like home. Highly recommend it to anybody traveling to Austin and I'll definitely be back."
2065053,17157177,2014-08-08,17195131,James,"Wow what a fantastic apartment. The interior is modern but comfortable and there is nothing like a comfy couch and TV after a very long day travelling. I also enjoyed having a music system I could plug my phone into for music while I worked.
I was in town for a conference at the conference center and this was a great location, only 5 minutes walk if that. Great location for 6th St. or Rainey St. as well, although it is a bit quiet at night so I got pedicabs or uber cars back most nights (both around $5).
Cristina was a fantastic host. Very welcoming but left you to be independent despite being on their property. There is a great guide about where to go that Cristina has put together. It was also great to have a couple of beers in the fridge already after a long trip and coffee in for the morning. There is also a cafe/bar called Cenote just around the corner with good food, coffee, beer and a juice bar attached to it as well.

All in all a great stay and I will definitely be looking at it if I return for the conference next year."
2065053,17351521,2014-08-11,14658350,Martin,"My wife and I fell in love with this cozy apartment which is so close to downtown and everything else we wanted to see. Cristina keeps the place wonderfully clean and well stocked with the essentials. A perfect size for two and the apartment felt very safe being up on a first floor. We enjoyed the views of downtown but also appreciated the dedicated parking spot right in the driveway. Our daily routine included heading out in the morning to either Bouldin Creek Cafe or the walkable Cenote for breakfast, then we would drive to one of the near areas like South Congress.
Cristina's place on East 2nd is the perfect getaway for any couple hoping to reconnect and discover Austin."
2065053,17748266,2014-08-17,7253590,Damon,"Hi Christina, thanks again for having me, the apartment was so nice; you've done a great job making a little home in there. It always makes such a difference when you can have a little sanctuary like that, instead of a hotel room!"
2065053,17989001,2014-08-19,4331581,Alyssa,"We had to book incredibly last-minute and Cristina was so accommodating and friendly. The apartment was clean, modern and perfect for two.
The location was great and Cristina left some nice recommendations for food etc. So happy to have stayed in this lovely place!"
2065053,18327437,2014-08-25,5214929,Ben,Couldn't ask for a better apartment rental for my first trip to Austin - Cristina was a wonderful host! The apartment is perfectly located and very well furnished. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
2065053,18677762,2014-08-30,14251729,Amy,"Another great stay at Cristina's place, I LOVE staying here! Such a great location and a welcoming, comfortable space. Looking forward to staying here again next time I'm in Austin."
2065053,19212753,2014-09-08,19636953,Barrett,"My first trip to Austin was exceptional due to y'all's southern hospitality!  Thank you so much for everything...the gorgeous home, the numerous suggestions, and all of the extra accommodations.  The location of your place was perfect walking distance to Cenote, a great coffee shop and breakfast place, Bufalina which had the best pizza I've had in a while, bars on East 6th, yoga at Practice Yoga Austin, I even walked to South Congress Shopping district from your place with ease.    Uber came in very helpful when going to parties and the whole foods...only costing about $8.   
Your home is immaculate!!!! So clean and cozy.  Perfect for two!  We loved it completely thank you so much!!"
2065053,19496019,2014-09-13,15307180,Sophie,"We thoroughly enjoyed Cristina's place on our recent stay in Austin! It is really a luxury experience with a beautifully designed interior and extra details like washer/dryer, stocked fridge, and wonderful guide books. Cristina was friendly and available for any question or concern. The house is very well located and Austin is an awesome city! "
2065053,19934187,2014-09-21,18894349,Wade,I'm a man of few words...  The space was AMAZING!!   We were in Austin for a conference at the Convention Center.   We never had to pay for parking or cabs.   We walked to to the convention center.   We had amazing restaurants withing walking distance.   We will be coming back!!!
2065053,20159870,2014-09-24,20522046,Jeremy,"We had a great experience with Cristina and the property. Instructions to access were very clear. The apartment is maybe even nicer than it looks online - they clearly took the time to build a well-designed place with elegant finishes. The bed is super comfortable, and they had a variety of pillows (important if you're a ""flat pillow person"" or ""puffy pillow person""!). There were some beers in the fridge and bottled mineral water in the kitchen, along with great coffee in the freezer. Check-in and check-out were a breeze.

East Austin is a great place to stay - tons of good food and drinks. Cristina's place is a 10 minute walk from all the bars and food on E. 6th and E. 7th. We were slightly concerned about the area, but it felt generally safe walking back and forth each night. We'd definitely stay here again!"
2065053,20305069,2014-09-27,3388947,Cristin,"This little apt was AH-MA-ZING! It's a little sanctuary on the edge of East Austin. It's walking distance to downtown, and I was able to take the river trail when walking to and from my conference. Way better than staying at the hotel! It definitely felt like home.

Cristina was a great host. She left a book in the apt of recommended eats and activities - all which were spot on. She left me a bottle of wine when she learned there was going to be a loud fundraiser next door one of the nights I was there. That was 100% above and beyond."
2065053,20670592,2014-10-03,18050,Sue,"This not-so-little apartment was absolutely lovely.  Full kitchen, full living room, many TV channels, full bedroom, walk-in closet, beautiful bathroom, even a washer and dryer, and a little porch for enjoying the warm weather.  I felt completely secure with the locked/gated yard and loved having my own convenient parking space.  The bed is utterly comfortable, the coffee delicious, the complementary wine exactly what I needed after a long work day.  Just wonderful to come back to this spot after working, beats a hotel hands down.  Convenient to fantastic downtown dining too, and walking distance from a great coffee shop.  Can't say enough about it and hope to be back!  Cristina and her husband were also warm and welcoming.  Loved it."
2065053,20995595,2014-10-09,4525436,Courtney,The place was AMAZING!!!!

2065053,21701053,2014-10-22,9151688,Kristy,"Cristina's place in Austin was awesome. It was in a great, safe  location. Everything we wanted to do was about 5 to 10 minutes away, so if you don't rent a car, it's easy to get around by foot or taxi. The home is exactly as pictured. The bathroom is really nice too. The guidebook she leaves is helpful in finding restaurants, bars, and sites. There are great places within walking distance from her home. Next time I go to Austin, I would definitely stay there again. "
2065053,22217035,2014-11-01,16547232,Amanda,This guest house is gorgeous and in a fantastic location. We were well looked-after and Cristina went out of her way to tell me all the best vegetarian spots in Austin. We loved Cristina's place and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
2065053,22393446,2014-11-05,5429018,Joanne,"We absolutely loved our stay in Cristina's beautiful home!  Everything was spic n span clean with lovely warm accents.  Actually, everything seemed brand new and very well taken care of.  We felt like we were in a hotel.  We very much appreciated Cristina's hospitality and would definitely stay there again!

We think the location is perfect and is on the way to becoming a really hot area.  We would compare it to Highlands in Denver which got cutoff when they built I-25 but now is a super trendy neighborhood.  Cristina's neighborhood is safe to walk around at night which we did every night.

In one direction is a 5-min walk to the convention center and all that downtown has to offer.  Moonshine Bar & Grill is in between and a great little place to try their own handcrafted whiskey.  A 5-10 min walk in another direction puts you in the Rainey area with its fun establishments like Bangers Sausage and Beer Garden which we discovered the last time we were in Austin.

THIS time we discovered two new areas in another direction along E. 6th and E. 11th.  We had a great meal at the upscale Buenos Aires Cafe and enjoyed the local nightlife.  We discovered that Franklins BBQ and the other BBQ place Cristina suggested are both closed on Mondays.  This made us end up at a place called the Hillside Farmacy eatery for lunch and I had the BEST sandwich I've ever had.  It melted in your mouth.

Cristina's place is about a 2-min walk to a coffee and brew house also as well as local food trucks.  We had soooooo  much fun!  You will not be disappointed staying at Cristina's place!"
2065053,22548591,2014-11-09,22814731,Kristina,"This apartment is exactly as pictured, and scrupulously clean. The sofa is huge, perfect for lounging, and the bed is super comfortable! The shower is also really large - awesome. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was also great, and would be good for a longer stay. And the kitchen has everything you need if you decide to cook instead of going out. Cristina also left me some great Austin drinks in the fridge, and a whole list of recommendations about the neighborhood. It was such a good welcome! The places she suggested were perfect, and really got my stay off to a good start. 
Another thing I really liked was the key and lock system. The way it's set up seems very secure, and I felt really safe staying there alone. Cristina was prompt about responding to texts, and gave me all the information I needed to arrive and get into the apartment without trouble, and to get around town. All in all, this place had everything I needed for a fabulous stay in Austin!"
2065053,22731504,2014-11-13,13787681,Helene,"Christina and her husband were both very warm and welcoming - the apartment was absolutely PERFECT!!! very spacious, extremely clean, and very comfortable. A wonderful experience. 
The neighborhood was great, my only regret was not having a car  - we are so used to walking everywhere, but it would have been nice to see other parts of Austin - however, we did plenty in the area, ate great BBQ at the local BBQ around the corner from our apartment -and had lovely cocktails during happy hour - also, we loved the White Horse for music.... All in all it was a lot of fun, and Christina was a great host....."
2065053,22802309,2014-11-15,14251729,Amy,"It's always a pleasure to stay here, thanks again for a great experience!"
2065053,23165832,2014-11-24,6499935,MacKenzie,"This is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Austin! The apartment is well decorated with cute succulents and beautiful wooden details, situated in the adorable backyard of the owner's house. The location is walkable to the fabulous restaurants on East Sixth Street, the quaint bars on Rainey street, and the sights around Town Lake. I would recommend this luxury apartment to any duo coming to Austin!"
2065053,23500016,2014-12-02,23160599,Faleshia,"My husband and I loved this place- it's even cuter in person. It was the perfect size for the 2 of us, clean, upgraded really nicely with high quality things- bathroom, shower, a/c, alarm, closet, washer/dryer, lots of blankets and throws, great leather couch and tvs . It was literally a 5 min walk to downtown Austin, and right behind La Barbecue! We walked to everything in downtown as well as East Austin and Rainey St. This is a great little place! If you are a light sleeper, maybe bring an eye mask, there is a street lamp close to the bedroom window. Other than that, everything was perfect!"
2065053,24563969,2014-12-30,10063614,Mollie,"Perfect place.cozy, private, clean and location cant be beat.  Would love to stay again!"
2065053,24727974,2015-01-02,17595863,Dani,"Clean space with great furnishings, I loved the book of recommendations they left for guests. Private space above their garage, everything was as expected."
2065053,25104855,2015-01-06,18021867,Jessica,"Cristina's place is great! Perfect location, close to everything! Beautiful interior, comfortable bed, and huge shower! Loved it! Thanks for a great stay!"
2065053,25602548,2015-01-20,1989928,Harry,"It was funny showing up to this AirBnb – it was just like stepping into the pictures online. The space feels brand new: it's beautiful, airy, bright, and so clean. The place is basically it's own home – a separate, elevated structure behind the main house, so there's plenty of privacy.

We were so comfortable the entire stay, and Christina was very accommodating and made everything really easy. The space has a nice kitchen and everything you need to make a morning coffee, or even an entire meal.

Can't recommend enough. Thanks again to Christina for everything. We hope to come back!"
2065053,25803156,2015-01-26,25521570,Shawn,"I don't think there could be a better place to stay, wonderful hosts, perfect location, great accommodations, I just wish I could have stayed longer."
2065053,25907464,2015-01-29,15870310,Tyler,"Stellar little place here! I loved the quiet and secure location, and the well decorated rooms. I said to myself multiple times; if I lived in Austin, I would WANT this place all to myself. Cristina was very kind and suggested many great places to visit for food and drinks. We felt very welcome!"
2065053,26013627,2015-02-01,427588,Britt,"This little apartment was a great place to stay for my business trip!  Extremely clean, and it had everything I needed (including coffee + coffee maker, creamer etc.).  The location was close to the main Downtown area; less than 5 minutes by car.  It was also really close to the lake, which has an incredible path that you can walk/run around. 

I would definitely recommend this apartment, especially for those familiar with Austin.  Great value for the price, and very charming!  "
2065053,26139272,2015-02-04,26540586,Emily,It was the perfect place for our weekend trip. The place was within walking distance to plenty of our favorite places in austin and was so cute. It was even better then the pictures. It is the perfect Place to stay while in austin. I highly recommend it.
2065053,26220815,2015-02-07,3685507,Julia,"Cristina's place is really fantastic. It was immaculately clean, comfortable, and cute!  It felt a bit like a tasteful and homey boutique hotel suite.  The location is also great. I was in Austin for a conference and it took only 15 minutes to walk to my meetings - faster than waiting in traffic.  There's a great cafe/bar just around the corner, and a late night taco truck up the street. The only thing that could be improved is the welcome/property information. A company actually manages this for Cristina, and in order to access all the info you need, you have to log online to their portal or download an app.  The info is displayed in a confusing/not user-friendly way, which I found a bit frustrating.  But the house is great -- once you get inside!"
2065053,26301545,2015-02-09,17162244,Ed,"This was the second time my girlfriend and I stayed here, and it was still just as great. Christina thinks of it all.  The guide book with plenty of great recommendations, the local coffee, and a all around nice place. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it. "
2065053,26682250,2015-02-17,24460802,Linda,"Our host was very welcoming and had great advise for touring Austin.
Their was was comfortable and extremely clean. The location was ideal. We did not have a car and was able to walk or ride bikes to wherever we wanted to go. I would recommend staying here."
2065053,26794937,2015-02-19,950401,Anna,"Cristina's apartment was perfectly equipped, tidy, and close to where I needed to be. The neighborhood is primarily residential, but there are some cute cafes and bars within walking distance. The space feels very much like a hotel, but with the added comforts and conveniences of being able to cook and relax in a common space that isn't a bedroom. I never met Cristina in person, but in all of our exchanges she was easygoing and informative. "
2065053,27042297,2015-02-24,1118319,Melissa,"This place was exactly what we were looking for! The location was easily within walking distance of the Austin Convention Center, restaurants and entertainment. It looked and felt as I expected. The freeway is very close. Though with the windows closed the sounds were not invasive and did not distract. If you are looking for exceptional views this is not the place but the interiors are so great it is wonderful to be there. We spent very busy days in Austin and this was the perfect place to crash, feel comfortable, and get refreshed for the day to come. We will definitely come back."
2065053,27357045,2015-03-02,27702302,Michael,"Place was amazing, neighborhood was great.  Host was very accommodating and flexible.  Stumbling distance across the interstate (a block from an underpass) from rainey and sixth street.  Apartment was great - so nice to come home with clothes (and dishes?) cleaner than when I left.  The walk-in shower/bathroom is really really nice, and they've really thought of almost everything in having kitchen utensils there.  Remember not to lose the gate keys, though - you need those to get out!"
2065053,27736012,2015-03-10,3811453,Damir,"Great place: tastefully decorated, clean, and cozy; makes one feel at home. It's indeed super-close to downtown bars, and is right on I-35, allowing easy explorations of Austin's surroundings. Highly recommended. "
2065053,28881113,2015-03-31,6685144,Natalie,"We LOVED this apartment. It was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated. The location was convenient, and a guaranteed off-street parking space was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends."
2065053,30203590,2015-04-19,28501703,Monda,"We were so excited to visit and Austin and try Airbnb for the first time. Cristina's place was exactly what we were looking for! Great location, well decorated, and immaculately clean. Not only would we stay here again and again, but we would absolutely recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you, Cristina! "
2065053,30443480,2015-04-22,653885,Matt,"Awesome AirBnB in Austin. Perfect location, extremely walkable. Couldn't have picked a better home base for our trip. Clean and well kept space with well thought out design. Would recommend this space to any friend traveling to Austin. "
2065053,31031727,2015-05-01,12813276,Ellen,"The house is a separate brand new garage apt. in the backyard of Christina's newly renovated house.  It was nicely designed and very clean, and just perfect for the two of us.  The neighborhood is up and coming and the interstate is very close, but being urban pioneers ourselves, we felt comfortable.   I would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Austin."
2065053,31453084,2015-05-05,2262944,Kevin,"Absolutely amazing flat! It's one of the few experiences I've had in which the actual space was superior to the already stunning photos.  Great location, great hosts, great price - I'll definitely look to stay here the next time I'm in Austin."
2065053,31973812,2015-05-12,31760535,Eric,"Could not have been more happy with our stay here.  It was perfect size for 2 people, great location, and so thoughtfully stocked with essentials.  We forgot our sunscreen and they had some under the sink!  Ground coffee in the freezer was a nice touch as well.  Easy walk to Rainey St, Congress Ave Bridge, Downtown and 6th St.  We rented bikes only a few blocks away.  It was easy to get to the bike trail by Lady Bird Lake and ride it to Barton Springs Pool and South Congress.  "
2065053,32292833,2015-05-16,23156152,Victor,"Cristina luxury coach-house apartment was superb for our visit! Highly recommended to anyone looking to stay in downtown Austin. Amazing location, walking distance to everything. The space had everything anyone could need, included a fully stocked kitchen and bathroom! Highly recommended to other AirBnB'ers!"
2065053,32981764,2015-05-24,27682371,Sheena,"The house was absolutely delightful!! So comfortable, we had an amazing time. Cristina was great to deal with and was available to reach if we had any questions. Such a lovely place and walking distance to a lot of fun Austin hangouts. Would definitely stay again. "
2065053,33243076,2015-05-26,27715871,Suveer,"Great little spot for my wife and I! Really easy to get around to the popular spot, either walking or car/uber. Way better than staying in a hotel. Location/decor/price/amenities are all five stars!"
2065053,33924935,2015-06-02,10857842,Jessica,"This was our first experience using airbnb and we couldn't be happier! Cristina's apartment was super clean, well-kept and designed beautifully. I love all of he care she has put in to this place and it was such a joy to return back to each night during our stay. The location was perfect, on a nice quiet block but walking distance to so many great places in Austin we wanted to see; Rainey Street, Congress Ave Bridge, East 6th. We will definitely be returning to this awesome city and would stay again in a heartbeat in this adorable apartment!"
2065053,34252125,2015-06-06,13724931,Allissa,"Great place. Very clean and spacious.
I felt like I was at home, Cristina has thought of everything!
Thank you for letting me stay at your beautiful apartment. If I ever come back to Austin I will definitely book again."
2065053,34428449,2015-06-08,31372329,Jodi,"This was my first time using AirB&B.  The process was wonderful.  So easy!  I had all of the information I needed before I got there.  
The location is so easy to get to, and close to so much.  I LOVED this apartment!!!  So cute, clean, and well kept, I didn't want to leave!  The next time I visit Austin, this will be my first choice in accommodation!  
5 stars!!!!"
2065053,35393606,2015-06-18,14674669,Marie,"Very cute and comfortable apartment in a great location! We had easy access to downtown and Zilker Park by car and were just about a 5 minute walk from Rainey Street. Our favorite part of our stay was exploring the changing neighborhood of East Austin, especially 6th street with lots a great restaurants and funky bars. Again, all an easy walk from the apartment.

The space itself was extremely clean and well appointed. There were helpful notes in the apartment as well as a handy local guide. Check-in/check-out was easy. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends."
2065053,35816357,2015-06-22,17469939,Allison,The apartment was exactly as listed - luxurious and fabulous!  It made for such a great first trip to Austin.  The location is excellent - very walkable.  My boyfriend and I could not stop complimenting little things about this place!  We can't wait to stay here again (hopefully) soon. 
2065053,36332585,2015-06-27,4623171,Jamie,"This home was wonderful! One of our favorite Airbnbs we've ever stayed in. It truly felt like home, and was so close to all sorts of fantastic places to eat, drink, and shop—while still feeling private and secluded. I couldn't recommend this location more highly!"
2065053,37321094,2015-07-06,2130280,Kevin,"Christina, John and Emerson Property Management were excellent.  Christina and John are the owners and were very welcoming when we saw them at the property.  Emerson Management are the property managers and I mostly communicated with them about the rental.  Emerson has an excellent mobile app that gave me all the info I needed to know about that rental like access, directions, rules, etc.  Very intuitive!  As for the guest house....it was amazing!  Very beautiful, comforting and immaculately clean.  Location is A+++.  Rainey Street is a 5 minute walk away and Downtown and East 6th are 15-20 minute walk or 5 min cab/uber.  Oh and La BBQ is around the corner!  I highly highly recommend this property to anyone for your next Austin visit."
2065053,37976851,2015-07-12,19077139,Bryan,"Definitely one of the top AirBnB experiences we've had.  

Comfortable, clean, beautiful place with everything we needed for the weekend and more.

There are a few great walk-able locations - La Barbecue for one - and just minutes from SoCo and downtown.  Really great, and we'd definitely stay again."
2065053,38778253,2015-07-18,37992320,Jessica,"It was an incredible place to call home while in Austin. It was close to downtown, safe area, walking distance, and very modern. Check in was easy and clear and Cristina was easy to get of a hold of for any questions. Will be staying here next time I come back!"
2065053,39949586,2015-07-27,18742440,Chaney,Great experience! The property was exactly as the listing and pictures described it. We were extremely impressed.
2065053,42588078,2015-08-14,28365140,Will,The host canceled this reservation 56 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2065053,43235969,2015-08-18,35431926,Daniel,"My girlfriend and I were very happy with our stay here. The guesthouse was the perfect place for us to come back to after a long day of traveling in and around the city. I know it sounds cliche, but it really did feel like a home away from home. Very nice living room, bathroom, kitchen, and amenities. Also, there was delicious local coffee in the refrigerator and a nice porch outside for you to sit back and enjoy the start to your day. Really couldn't ask for anything else. This was our first time using Airbnb and it was such a positive experience. Thank you, Christina.

"
2065053,43757342,2015-08-22,33077724,Zach,Awesome location. Very accessible to downtown and could walk anywhere I wanted to go. The unit itself was very clean and nicely finished.
2065053,44171809,2015-08-24,980936,Jeff,"Very convenient location that's a quick $7 uber to Rainey Street and 6th street bars.  There's dedicated parking and a separate entrance, which was nice.  Also, while it's pretty close to the highway it was very quiet -- you can tell new, high-quality windows.  The best was also very comfortable."
2065053,45321945,2015-09-01,18193829,Staton,"This place is really great and the pictures do not do it justice. I was working at the Austin Convention Center all weekend, and it was only a half mile walk each way from there. The apartment has everything you need, with a super comfortable bed. My favorite was the porch where I could drink coffee each morning and sit outside at night having a drink. The staff is really responsive with any questions you  have and I can see why there are so many positive reviews. This is my new favorite place to stay the next time I travel to Austin !!"
2065053,45998411,2015-09-07,35039991,Michael,I had the most wonderful experience staying at the house. Everything was presented exactly as described. I felt like I was at home. Communication was simple and very accommodating. I would definitely stay there again and this will be a go to place the next time I'm in Austin. Thank you so much Cristina!
2065053,47326256,2015-09-17,32077763,Sherah,"Cristina was very helpful as well as professional. The home is very beautiful, chic and minutes away from downtown -- a prime location! 

Check-in and check-out were both easy processes. It was a wonderful experience!"
2065053,47615636,2015-09-21,30905344,Jill,"I arrived late and was traveling alone, so I was a little apprehensive of the neighborhood but absolutely loved the accommodations. I was within walking distance to the convention center for daytime activities, and used Uber and pedicabs for traveling at night."
2065053,48243099,2015-09-24,17915620,Lon,"Awesome rental. Great location, very close to anything downtown or in the east. Very clean, private unit with all amenities one would need for a stay in Austin. Would recommend to anyone. Shower was top-notch.

"
2065053,48877357,2015-09-29,38760547,Sarah,We really enjoyed our stay. The listing description was spot on and the space was much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. The set up of the space is perfect for two.
2065053,51269481,2015-10-19,26859414,Rynell,"Great location, great little 1-bedroom guest house for our needs! Lovely stay, thanks for having us!!!"
2065053,51641421,2015-10-22,14194387,Chantel,"Such a cute place! Great facilities, so convenient, and ideal location walking distance to downtown. "
600543,3771702,2013-03-13,4670335,Jen,Karyn could not have provided us with better hospitality.  The house was clean and comfortable and was a great home base for our trip.  Highly recommend staying at this house!!
600543,3804440,2013-03-17,4620480,Haley,"extremely accommodating! there is only one real bed, a pull out, and an air mattress, but it is more than made up for like an expansive kitchen, hardwood floors & a washer/dryer. The hosts left us beer, champagne, soda, snacks & a full bar, which was awesome! The house was very clean and there were plenty of blankets. The hosts were also readily available via text message to answer questions or help us find the hidden key when we got locked out! It was a great experience. "
600543,11043762,2014-03-18,1458140,Cailen,"Karyn's home is beautiful and wonderfully equipped. She stocked it full of goodies for my pals and I, and we had a great time staying here. She was easy to get in touch with at all times, and very helpful. 5/5 would stay again."
600543,20814407,2014-10-06,910258,Rod,"Karyn's house is great, it has a large kitchen and she left us a lot of snacks and beer, it was easy to communicate with her, she left clear instructions for the house, it is a nice neighborhood and really close to bus stops and down town and the cat is really friendly. "
600543,21138813,2014-10-12,366167,Monica,"Karyn was extremely friendly. We didn't have much contact with her during our stay as we didn't need to but the booking process was easy and she was extremely hospitable and provided us with snacks and a fridge full of beer. The house was very clean and had a spacious kitchen and living area. The cats are very friendly too but do like to be indoors more than outdoors so if you're allergic be cautious. The location was close to downtown and all the bars on the east side of Austin so that was great! The downsides I'd say were only 1 real bed and 1 bunk bed that even at 5'7 I was hanging over, so I can't say that it sleeps 8 comfortably. Closer to 6 but not so comfortably unless you get the master bed and are a small person for the bunks. The second con was the water pressure in the kitchen and one of the bathrooms was not very good so made showering and washing dishes a little difficult. But other than those things everything was good and we had a comfortable stay during ACL. Good location and house for the value. 3.5/5 "
600543,28118089,2015-03-18,11815301,Anders,"
We found the house VERY nice. We could fit seven people without any problems.
The host had left snacks and drinks, so it was a great welcome.

We could walk into convention hall (Downtown Austin) in about 25-30 minutes. 

We will definitely try to book this house again.
"
600543,28466313,2015-03-24,1016867,Josh,"Karyn was an awesome host. Their house was super cute. It was exact as described. The neighborhood is great. And when you need to chill, you can do some good old Fashioned porch sittin'. Totally would recommend "
343258,1002887,2012-03-15,1766524,Josh,Cecily is an incredible individual and I am so thankful for her help planning my stay in Austin. I highly recommend her place to anyone looking for a comfy spot to stay in Austin.
343258,8837742,2013-11-20,3904802,Erin,"Cecily's place is comfortable, casual, and clean.  Her hospitality gives a feel that you are staying over at a good friend's house.  She responds quickly and makes herself available for questions.  A minor issue arose before my arrival and she made sure that it was not going to cause an issue for my stay.

The house is in a good location if you are going to 'dabble' in all that Austin has to offer, and don't want to stay in a busy area.  Nestled in the southern end of Austin, it is fairly quick access to the airport (east), as well as getting to western and the rest of south Austin.  A trip downtown is easy as well and while it is a few minutes drive, it isn't terrible and kind of enjoyable to drive through some of those neighborhoods."
343258,10028718,2014-01-26,2403,Kai,"Cecily was a great host: communicative, flexible and straightforward. She made sure that everything was ready before my arrival and offered a very nice place to stay at a very good price. Would recommend her place to anyone looking in Austin. "
343258,10175117,2014-02-04,9816682,Haoli,It is a nice place to stay with. Cecily is very helpful.she got everything we need and very clean. Thanks. We will come back again.
343258,10244996,2014-02-09,756044,Frederick,"The house is artistically decorated and comfortable.  It is well located. Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Cecily but she was most helpful and very prompt in responding to our queries. "
343258,10589397,2014-02-26,11512995,Katie,"Cecily provided excellent hospitality and her house is darling. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe and at ease coming and going. When the weather was pleasant, we enjoyed sitting in the backyard. The location was perfect for our visit, close enough to UT and the attractions around South Congress, but not in a high traffic area. Cecily's home is a great place to stay, and if I am back in Austin needing a place, I will not hesitate to book again. Enjoy!"
343258,10728968,2014-03-04,12384270,Julie,"Cecily's house is great. It is in a quiet neighborhood that allows easy access to interesting parts of Austin. We found great food, parks, and entertainment within a short distance. Additionally, Cecily responds to answers quickly and with great detail. The house is clean and comfortable, and you have access to a nice backyard. This was my first AirBnB experience, and Cecily made it a great one. "
343258,10937110,2014-03-14,7725055,Mattthias,"This place is just georgeous. Plenty of space, great connection to the buses downtown. Cecily was so kind to pick up bikes for us. So that we had even more freedom during our stay. Just the perfect place in Austin!"
343258,11112342,2014-03-21,11021316,Katrina,"Cecily's place was perfect for my spring break birthday vacation. It was very affordable and beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood was nice and safe, and Cecily was incredibly accommodating, especially with some last minute requests. Just a hop skip and a jump away from all the attractions, I highly recommend this listing. "
343258,11185071,2014-03-24,12586196,Jennifer,Cecily was an great host! Her communication was superb! The house was perfect for our stay and in a great location. It was orderly and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it!

343258,12328691,2014-04-29,11559290,Larry,"We really enjoyed staying at Cecily's place. It is spacious yet cozy, and it is within a 10-15 minute drive to downtown Austin and hip S. Congress Avenue. Cecily was very accommodating. I would not hesitate booking the same place if we do come back and visit Austin again. Highly recommended. "
343258,12613218,2014-05-06,12534422,Nadia,"We loved Cecily's place which was comfortable, quaint and exactly what we were looking for. The eclectic feel absolutely fit our personality and interest. Your records were totally up our alley too Cecily! Cecily even left clear instructions as to how everything works in her home which was much appreciated as well as where to find restaurants and stores that were close by. She is a great host and I highly recommend her place and very prompt at communicating with all of the questions and requests I had. Thank YOU again Cecily! Overall lovely home!"
343258,12917872,2014-05-14,12550929,Shir,"Cecily is awesome. And her home was so inviting and spectacular. She left a list of rules & suggestions, etc so you weren't left guessing. I know if I stay in Austin again, this is where I plan to stay if possible. Good location if you have a car-- and if you visit Austin, you'll want to have access to a car."
343258,14015037,2014-06-10,12848340,Toni,"Cicely's house is lovely! It perfectly suited our party of five, with the six year old on an air mattress in her office.  She left a note detailing house specifics and included some tips about the area. The home was centrally located for our weekend events and had all needed amenities, including a French Press coffee setup. (My favorite!)  If you enjoy interesting art you'll especially appreciate this listing.  I got lost in a few of her pieces. 

All in all, a fantastic experience. "
343258,14689110,2014-06-24,5340315,Tania,"We loved Cecily's little house. It has everything, including great books and interesting art. The water pressure in the shower is amazing. We didn't take advantage of the big back yard or the kitchen, but definitely would have if we stayed longer. The neighborhood doesn't seem to have a lot that is walkable, but we had a car so it was no issue. We never met Cecily in person, but she was pleasant and quickly responsive with her text communication and she left some good info for us at the house. I think this place is a great value in a nice neighborhood and would recommend it for sure. "
343258,15305989,2014-07-07,3114786,Colin,Cecily's house was perfect. Safe neighborhood and great backyard. The house has everything you need and Cecily was very prompt in responding to any questions I had.
343258,17826140,2014-08-18,15888322,Steven,"This was my first airbnb experience and I have to say Cecily's place was perfect. It was located centrally to everything I wanted to do and see. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very secure. The house was just what I needed. Plenty of space, interesting art to look at, a comfy bed to sleep in, and a record player! The backyard was a perfect place to relax after a long day of traveling and running around town. Cecily left helpful instructions and tips about the area and it was much appreciated. It truly felt like a home away from home. 

If I ever get back to Austin, Cecily's place will be first on my list! Oh, and the water pressure in the shower was amazing!"
343258,17986829,2014-08-19,20019163,Zachory,"We have a wonderful experience living in Cecily's house. Personally I really like the decorating style of her house. It is cozy and exotically artsy in a very personal way. Although it is very likely that you won't get to meet her in person, her collections of vinyl records, books and her sweet poems are just like her personal welcomes. Cecily has been really responsive and communicative in our requests. We would like to stay in her house again if we come back to Austin."
343258,20810573,2014-10-06,14684418,Estee,The house was perfect for what we needed. It was affordable and not far from ACL. Our host was gracious and available while we stayed. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to ATX!
343258,21192781,2014-10-13,14881771,Doreen,"The home was just as stated in the description.  It was very spacious and had great eclectic art work.  About a 15 min car ride to downtown Austin and there was a bus a short walk away.  

Cecily was very responsive to my texts and emails."

343258,41349570,2015-08-07,3782395,Heather,"Cecily was proactive and friendly in her communication, very friendly, and we absolutely loved her place. It is just as described and more roomy than the pictures even suggest. As a home base in Austin, this was quiet, peaceful, and homey.  "
343258,41876131,2015-08-09,8712831,Caroline,"My family and I stayed here and couldn't have been more pleased! When first walking in we were pleasantly surprised and things only got better from there. While not in the center of Austin it was close enough that it didn't make any difference for us,  especially being close to the freeway. Cecily was kind enough to set up beds for the three of us and everything was very comfortable and spacious.

Judging by the unique antiques, her amazing taste in books and stunning artwork which can found in every room, she might be my best friend that I have yet to meet. The information and recommendations for the area were also of huge help; we couldn't get through all of them but that leaves some for next time! I hope I have the pleasure of staying here again and would recommend it to anyone. And for goodness sake, go get some killer breakfast tacos right down the road!"
343258,43984723,2015-08-23,39629970,Holly,We had such a great experience staying in Cecily's home. It surpassed our expectations of what we though staying in an airbnb would be like. She gave us some great notes ranging from where certain lights were to some good places to eat. She left us fresh towels also a well made bed. It felt like a very personalized hotel experience. Would definitely stay in Cecily's home again whenever I come back to Austin. 
343258,46032653,2015-09-07,13738345,Wendi,"We had a great time in Austin this labor day weekend.  Cecily""s house was so cute and close to many major highways making getting around Austin easy.  The house had everything we needed. Thanks Cecily for sharing. Any time I had questions you were quick with a response."

343258,50428710,2015-10-12,779641,Michelle,Cecily was very helpful. A list was laid out that included where to find items and places to try out. The house was cute and loved her skills at decorating. 
5170888,27813208,2015-03-12,9226078,John,"We are giving this review 2 stars becuase Nick was a very friendly and helpful person.

Unfortunately, we did not stay here and recevied a refund because the listing was not accurate. 

Before arriving, Nick said he needed to do some cleaning which was fine, so we gave him an extra hour. When we arrived, the house was a mess. There were cigarette butts outside, beer bottles and shot glasses everywhere, and the house was just generally messy, cluttered, and unkept.

In addition to this, we were told that there were no clean towels or a key for the house and Nick would have to buy towels and make copies of his roommate's key for us. But in the meantime the house would remain unlocked which made us uneasy.

Our room was also far from the image advertised in Nick's listing. We had a basic bed with an air mattress and a small desk in the corner of the room. Nothing more and definitely not the nice bed with a headboard, lamp, and mirror as shown in the listing.

We decided shortly after seeing this to just find a hotel because there was nothing Nick could do to fix ALL of these issues within the time we were supposed to stay there.

I hope that Nick can rectify these issues, otherwise I would not recommend staying here."
5170888,28124165,2015-03-18,3645134,Ana,"We booked the room for SxSW  in advance. A week before the festival  Nick came back to say it was not available anymore but offered us to stat at a place of his friend close to Downtown. 

We accepted and the stay in his friend's house was great! The house was lovely and very close to DT, Nick's friend, Matt, was a great host!

We never met Nick but he was fast in rectifying the situation, offered discount on the rates for the inconvenience and was prompt to respond to our requests. Things change during the festival season and  accommodation is hard to come by so we are grateful to Nick for offering us great alternative during busy time. I would recommend Nick."
5170888,28638426,2015-03-27,21212294,Brittany,"Nick was very friendly, but the place was not as nice as expected. The room needed a dresser or at the very least a night stand for the money. We also only stayed there for the pool, which was unusable and full of algae. It did't really seem like the place was ready for company... we had to wait for toilet paper in the morning... It's also a littler further away than expected. Overall, the host was nice but not really desirable for the price. "
5170888,28688145,2015-03-28,4456198,Luciano,Even though I just met Nick the morning we were leaving he was a great host. His roommate was home when we arrived and let us in. Everything was set for our stay. Nick was very responsive through email and text. Nice size bedroom and comfortable bed. He also provided us with an air mattress (we were 4 guests). It's a very easy going environment. Glad we had the chance to use the hot tub. 
5170888,29771221,2015-04-12,5248951,Clair,Had lots of fun at nicks place. It is definitely a boys pad so don't stay if you freak out at a bit of mess. Good location. 20 minute walk to nice bars on 6th street. Pool wasn't working but other than that it was a good crash pad for a few nights and nick was a great host.
5170888,31635086,2015-05-08,26253951,Matthew,"If you're going to Austin...STAY HERE! This was my first time ever travelling to Austin ... I came with a few friends before Austin Psych Fest. Unfortunately Nick had to leave after we checked in, but we felt so welcome at his place. The backyard is actually magical, they also have a dog named Carl that we all fell in love with. Best dog ever. 

Overall, for the price and location, this place is an absolute steal. 100% would recommend, especially for students/friends travelling."
5170888,31938950,2015-05-12,28369287,Melissa,"We had a great time at Nick's place! He was more than accommodating to me and my friends, even though we had more than anticipated. Great location, awesome pool and hot tub, even cooler dog. I highly recommend. "
5170888,32436422,2015-05-17,18364276,Christina,Very welcoming and flexible. Nick was an awesome and entertaining host. He was more than willing to help me and my friends feel at home and comfortable.  Very awesome space with great features with a convenient under $10 Uber ride to downtown. 
5170888,33183821,2015-05-25,30110559,Matt,"Great time at Nick nudged Ryan's pad. My group ended up staying in the inlaws residence in the back of the house near hype pool. Our hosts made us feel right at home, even going as far as rushing us to the nearest liquor store before closing! They allowed us full use of their home and even their pets were welcoming."
5170888,36494958,2015-06-28,33220445,Nicholas,Nick was a great host. Upon arriving he welcomed us to hang out with his friends around the pool and was very friendly.  Great house and great people. 
5170888,37259902,2015-07-05,14174018,Adam,"The description was accurate. This is a great guy who was up front and honest about anything that might have been problematic to a guest, for example, he warned me that they would be having a fourth of July party with alot of guests on the day that I booked the airbnb. They invited us to join in on the fun as well. This may have been a problem to some people so it was great that he told us. They were a very fun group of people and I enjoyed hanging out with them as much as we could. Beautiful house as well. There was a dog there named Carl that cracked me up and all of their friends' pets were a very nice part of the stay. 

Note: If you are allergic to dogs, stay away."
5170888,37623826,2015-07-08,35186681,Nidhal,"Nick was great, he welcomed us into his home and showed us a few great places around town. Definitely stay here if you can."
5170888,38684257,2015-07-17,38571405,Eben,"Thjs place was really great, the area is awesome, the house itself has a lot of room and nick and his roommates were incredibly generous and accommodating. Definitely worth a stay if you want to check out Austin for a night or a few days."
5170888,38805151,2015-07-18,25410342,Lore,Nick was a great host. He was very welcoming and friendly! Awesome pool and great house near downtown! 
5170888,39361119,2015-07-22,38370763,Paul,"I had a great time at Nick's. As I arrived at his place quite late, he wasn't there, for my check-in. However, his girlfriend Danielle warmly welcomed me and showed me where I was going to stay. They had actually prepared the small house at the pool for me, which offered plenty of space for me and three of my friends. Also, it was pleasant to have an own bathroom and shower. Furthermore, Nick's awesome dogs and the large pool made my time there even more fun! Overall, I whole-heartedly recommend staying at Nick's, I wish I would have had the time to stay another night or two."
5170888,40251995,2015-07-29,37143449,Drew,"Nick was very accommodating and friendly, gave great recommendations for things to do in Austin. Would definitely stay there again."
5170888,42332396,2015-08-12,40161905,Rachel,"Staying at this place was great! Nick, his roommate and their friends are all super helpful with tips of places to go, food to eat, and how to get around. The room we stayed in was great for us - a bed and a blow up mattress! Their two dogs and pool are also a huge plus. Overall it was a fun and homey environment and we would stay here again! "
5170888,42718622,2015-08-15,36465758,Trevor,"This was a very disappointing experience. Previous Airbnb's have given me a sense of standard across reservations, but Nick's place was dirty, his bed was old, uncomfortable and obscenely loud, and the room remained hotter than the other rooms in the house. A fan would have been a welcome addition to the simple bed and already-filled dresser that solely occupied the room, but it was sadly missing. This all could have been overlooked had Nick himself not made a bad impression. A few condescending remarks about simple things like my taste in music and food was enough to be off putting. It struck me as especially unprofessional when he awoke my girlfriend and I on our last night multiple times between 1 and 3am by yelling in the house, presumably drunk, and sleeping with his girlfriend right by our room pretty loudly. Which on a Friday night isn't quite to be unexpected at basically Austin's version of a house occupied by fraternity brothers, but given the fact we had told him we would be leaving early to drive 11 hours, our interrupted sleep was difficult to swallow. Overall, I would not have expected this experience for the 65 or so we paid per night (which has since gone up to a jaw-dropping $99 a night it seems). That's rather expensive for a sub-motel stay. The pool is offered as a big draw to stay there, and was for my girlfriend and me, but it was taken care of very poorly and frankly grossed us out, so we didn't use it. Which is a real shame. "
5170888,43006072,2015-08-16,41425384,Lyle,Great location!! Nick was very welcoming and introduced us to his roommate and girlfriend as soon as we got there.  It was a good first AirBnB experience.
5170888,43645893,2015-08-21,24399844,Vanessa,So great!

The pool was nice and the neighborhood had some great bars and restaurants that Nick told us about. We definitely feel this is a great place if you are on the younger end as it has the air of a ""party house"" to some extent."

7775305,47724816,2015-09-21,20621682,Joey,"I recently stayed at Terrance's rooftop condo unit this past weekend to host a bachelor party. There were 14 of us and to be honest we weren't all on top of each other. There was plenty of space for us to chill and pre-game before we hit the streets. The air mattresses were top quality, everybody had a place to sleep and plenty of pillows and blankets! I feel like one of the more convenient thing this place offered was the touch pad keyless entry. We didn't have to worry about who had a key to the place or pass a key around which made things wicked easy! Terrance also had a pretty sweet smart tv and a quality sound system that hooks up to your phone via Bluetooth for some tunes. The roof deck was nice but with little seating and the hot Texas temperature we didn't really use it to much.
    Uber was our best friend the entire trip. For a big group like ours we ordered uber XL and it was $18-$20 fare to 6th street, which wasn't bad for a 6-7 passenger ride. 
    Terrance was a great host, always available for answers at a moments notice! He let my group drop our bags off  way before the checkin time while the place was getting cleaned, and let us leave our bags behind while we were out to watch the Pats game (we had a later flight). I would definitely book with Terrance again if I find myself back in Austin."
7775305,49335334,2015-10-03,2739703,Devin,"Terrance was an attentive host with one of the best places to stay in Austin. 

The two upstairs rooms were a great place for the more quiet members of my 15 person group to get a good nights rest while the more rambunctious carried on in the main level.

There were plenty of beds, pillows and blankets and towels to get by.

Having two showers was awesome addition as well as the keyless entry"
7775305,52198497,2015-10-26,47281194,Katie,"Our host Terrance was awesome, the condo is in a great location, very modern with really nice, sophisticated decor.  The downtown view from the rooftop is a nice perk too!  My friends and I had a great time and would definitely stay here again!!"
7775305,53045941,2015-11-04,39358297,Vincent,"Terrance was a great host. Very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay at his condos. The condos themselves were extremely impressive. Both very clean and beautifully decorated. I would absolutely stay at one of Terrance's properties again, and I would definitely recommend staying at these condos if you are staying in Austin."
8276110,49580654,2015-10-04,2258611,Andrea,"Aaron's place is just as described!  It's brand new, modern and very convenient location."
8276110,50156351,2015-10-09,18986153,Darcy,"Aaron was a good host for the night and helped us a lot with recommendations on places to go and things to do while in Austin, esp around his block- great food recommendations. 
It should be noted that this is a one bedroom apartment and as a guest you stay in his bed and he sleeps on the couch. It's not a problem at all and his room is great, but we didn't quite realize that when we booked.
Apartment is in a great area about a 10 min drive to downtown"
704789,2552295,2012-10-08,3656772,Sofia,"Modern and spotless house. Kind and easy going host.  Clean, spacious, quiet, well lit room. Comfortable bed. I would love to stay there again."

The location is upscale and tranquil, the room is spacious and clean. I got three wonderful night's sleep in the large, comfy bed. There was even off-street parking for my rental. Highly recommended and I'll definitely be back!"
704789,2795628,2012-11-03,3947597,Chad,"Stephen was a very good host and his home is in good proximity to downtown and anything south.  He provides a playful, fun, safe, and private environment for his guests."

704789,3386853,2013-01-21,2612639,Ryan,"Stephen helped me out when I was in a bind. He hosted two of my colleagues who needed a place to stay while attending a professional function in Austin. They loved the room, and really appreciated the private bathroom. I was worried they might steal his pets because they were so in love with them! But they left Rufus and Olivia at home when it was time to go.
Thanks for taking great care of my friends, Stephen!"

He was happy to recommend restaurants, bars, live music, and other suggestions about where to go, what to do in Austin.  

The room was very comfortable and the house was really cool.  My friend and I each wanted our own bed, and Stephen provided a very comfortable inflatable mattress in addition to the comfortable bed.  

The house is a quick, easy drive to downtown but far enough away that it's really a peaceful area.   We never had a problem with traffic on our way downtown.  I know there was a bus stop nearby, and I'm sure that would be an easy commute as well; we will have to try that mode of transportation next time.  

Not only was Stephen welcoming, but his awesome cat Olivia, and cool dog Rufus were just as nice!   They were always excited to see us and were a lot of fun.  

We would definitely stay with Stephen again! 

"
704789,3640352,2013-02-26,4514637,Dharini,"Will definitely book again!  The room with private bath is really nice and spacious.  Stephen knows how to treat guests well, gives useful information, and doesn't disturb guests unnecessarily.  The location is good too."
704789,3680104,2013-03-03,3224314,Gemma,"We had a lovely 4 night stay in Austin at Stephens house. The room was as described-nice and bright with own bathroom and very spacey and clean.Stephen is a great guy and gave us some good recommendations. He has a nice house and we were able to do our washing, and cook etc. We slept well as it was a quiet neighbourhood. We had a car so the location worked well for us, it was easy to get everywhere. I noticed there was a bus stop just over the road too that we did not utilise. Rufus and Olivia are adorable."
704789,4311294,2013-04-27,5259154,Dustin,"Stephen's place was as advertised. Nice and clean with a lot of natural light. Have your own room and bathroom, and have access to pretty much the whole house. Close to everything in South Austin. Only about 15 min from the airport as well."
704789,4378141,2013-05-01,3648674,Hartley,"Awesome host, awesome place. Stephen was super helpful with restaurant recommendations, transit directions, and whatever else you might not realize you need to know about. The place is located only hop, step and a jump away from the nearest bus stop, which made navigating Austin without a car super easy. Oh - and his sweet pets were an added bonus. We'll definitely be back! Thanks again, Steve."
704789,4519611,2013-05-10,4018986,Noria,"We had a fantastic stay with Stephen in Austin!

704789,8792274,2013-11-18,9621593,Mae,"We spent a night at Stephen's and were impressed with how concerned he was with our well-being, sending us messages telling us about clean sheets, towels, what time he would be at home and even gave us tips on where to eat. His house is really clean, the room is comfortable and private enough. The location is also good, a 10-15 min drive to downtown. Rufus is a plus to the whole experience, what a nice dog! Thanks a lot for the wonderful stay!"
704789,8986683,2013-11-30,5389645,Ashle,Stephen was kind enough to let my  fiance and me borrow his home on Thanksgiving. The home itself is beautiful and the bed in the guest room is super comfortable. Olivia is a complete riot. I would absolutely recommend staying here!
704789,9510471,2013-12-31,8067326,Krisana,"Stephen was a great host.  Friendly and very helpful.  The house was warm and welcoming and yes, Rufus and Olive were so loving!  I would recommend this place.  The house is not exactly in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Austin though so a car would be useful - although there is a bus stop nearby."
704789,9969605,2014-01-21,508798,Susan,Stephen and his girlfriend were pleasant. Stephens home was perfect for our quick stay  that we planned last minute. Lots of fun shops and restaurants close by on Lamar. Thanks
704789,10074671,2014-01-28,3832017,Ross,"I took a trip to Austin for a few day of R&R.  Stephen was a great host and gave me all the space I needed.  The times I needed help finding a place to eat, Stephen was more than happy to point me in the right direction.  His pets were very well mannered and a pleasure to be around.  Whenever I'm back in Austin, I'll definitely consider staying at Stephens townhouse again."

704789,10376168,2014-02-16,7555543,John,We enjoyed our stay at Stephens condo.  It was perfect for what we needed on a quick trip to visit our daughter at college.  He was kind and helpful.  He even set up an air mattress so that our daughter could stay with us after enjoying a night out together.  We loved his adorable and friendly pets Rufus and Olivia.  They really made us feel at home.
704789,10475240,2014-02-20,12267839,Alicia & Gavin,"Such a worthwhile choice to stay at Steve's.  He clearly communicated anytime we got in touch/had a question.  The room is very nice and comfortable in a beautiful home with two friendly pets we greatly enjoyed meeting.  Steve gave us great recommendations of places to go see/music venues/restaurants and more.  We had a nice morning coffee with him, which we were glad to put a face to the name.  We would highly recommend a stay at Steve's.  we especially loved the map on the wall with pushpins of people's names and hometowns who have stayed with him through airb&b.  Nice thoughtful touch."
704789,10740657,2014-03-05,2547787,Candice,We had a great time staying at Stephen's condo! It was clean and quiet and the perfect place to get some sleep after a long day out exploring the city.

704789,11326037,2014-03-30,450738,George,I stayed with Stephen for two nights while driving across country to San Diego. The room is modern and loved the firm bed. Great south location of Austin and easy to get to downtown.
704789,11469773,2014-04-04,12698414,Sherrie,"Hello all! I would love to add our review for our stay at Stephen's!!
It was great! The bed was amazingly comfortable & I absolutely adored the light from the two windows in the bedroom, it made it bright and cheery! Stephen was very personable and friendly! And seriously, we wanted to take both of his pets home! Olivia and Rufus are just as amazingly wonderful little critters as everyone else and said in their reviews! I was a little concerned that being a smaller type dog he might be noisy/bark a lot… Not at all he is a quiet wonderful little ""puppy dog""! Stephen & both pets are a delight in every way...so I would not hesitate to make your stay at Stephens!!"
704789,11518179,2014-04-06,3235057,Lois,Stephen's place was great-lovely room and private bathroom. The room was clean and sweet.  Stephen was available and full of suggestions. And he was a quick communicator with booking and emailing. 
704789,11561281,2014-04-07,142776,Spencer,"Stephen's place is great - centrally located, clean, and quiet.  And he was very accommodating.  I arrived late at night and he was very easygoing about it.  Two enthusiastic thumbs up. "

704789,13726008,2014-06-02,5992391,Michael,"Stephen has a great spot in 78704, just north of 71 between 35 and Mopac, easy breezy if you are driving in from Houston. Great location, 5 minutes to Barton or Zilker, less than 10 minutes to downtown. Clean and comfortable room and private bath in nice and new condo. Cute pets, feels just like home. Highly recommend."
704789,15290704,2014-07-06,2038543,Brandon,"Stephen was a very welcoming and accommodating host, and his home was very nice. Both Rufus and Olivia were very friendly and I enjoyed my stay."
704789,15356478,2014-07-07,16925902,Dave,Had a great time.  Stephen steered us to some great spots.  Very clean and comfy place; modern but not cold or impersonal.
704789,15597956,2014-07-12,6573544,Sara,"My friend and I had a great time in Austin and in this house. Stephen was very friendly and helpful with whatever we needed. He gave us the name of what became our favourite coffee place, Radio coffee and beer, located just down the street. It's great! 
The room was very nice, with a comfortable bed and it had a nice private bath too. We felt welcome to use the rest of the house too... The pets. Rufus and Olivia are so adorable and very friendly and affectionate, it was nice to be welcomed home by them. 
The neighbourhood is nice and quiet - but still close to cool shops and restaurants. 
We had a great time, thank you Stephen,it was great meeting you! "
704789,16185074,2014-07-22,4098695,Patrick,"Stephen has a dedicated and flexible arrangement for AirBNB guests.  He responded quickly to my request and easily accommodated a very late arrival to Austin.  His home is easily found by GPS, matching the profile picture; parking was never an issue.  The second floor room is clean with its own shower/bath and a wall dedicated to past guests including a world map with their origins.   His cat and dog are friendly to a fault.  I felt at home coming and going during my very busy 3-night stay.  Look forward to staying again on a future Austin trip.  "
704789,16570764,2014-07-29,890549,Peggy,"Stephen's place was perfect for what I needed - close proximity to the places I needed to go.  His townhouse is equipped with parking, guest computer, private bath, comfortable bed and the cutest two little furry co-hosts anyone can find in Austin - Rufus and Olivia!  Thanks so much for hosting us!  Hope to revisit again, soon!"
704789,16675313,2014-07-31,9651722,Jesse,"This was a quick in-and-out trip for me, so I didn't get to take advantage of Stephen's wealth of knowledge about Austin, but he did clue me in on where to get the best Chinese food in North Austin. He was gracious and patient, too -- I was several hours later than I thought I'd be, and he waited around to make sure I got in okay and was comfortable. And here's a story to add to your collection of urban legends: Rufus, Stephen's Welsh Corgi, came in while I was getting settled and crawled half-way under the bed, with only his hind quarters sticking out (go figure -- it's a dog thing). When I was ready to go to bed, I looked around for him and didn't see him. I assumed he had gone back downstairs, and so I shut the bedroom door. In the middle of the night, I woke up to find Rufus staring soulfully at me! Stephen now has a story to tell about the houseguest who stole his dog (at least for the evening)! LOL"
704789,17076075,2014-08-06,18880783,Faran,"Staying with Stephen was great. He was very accommodating and provided me with all the information I needed to have a great time at Austin.

The property is located in south Austin and is very close to the bus stop. (it is literally across the street) so getting into the downtown core is pretty easy. 

The property is clean and private. You have your own attached washroom and there is even a computer so you can keep up to date with your email/facebook/etc. 

Overall, it was a great experience and I would stay with Stephen again. 

Also Rufus and Olivia are great companions to have around when you get back home. Always there to welcome you.

:)"
704789,17171091,2014-08-08,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Stephen is super nice and has a great house! The location is convienent to everything south, which is where we wanted to be. We had great parking right in front of the house. We were able to bring our dog to stay as well, and Stephen was just as gracious a host to him as he was to us, which was wonderful. You can tell Stephen is someone that definfitley enjoys being an Airbnb host and he has his house set up nicely to accommodate guests. His pets are awesome, we mainly hung out with his dog, Rufus, who is very lovable:). We had a great expierence over all with Stephen as our host and with his space!"

Stephen helps you feel more than welcome, and has a beautiful place, with even more beautiful animals, Rufus, and Olivia, his dog and cat.

Sincerely yours,

Charles R Lujan"

Super friendly host, beautiful house with covered parking, spacious, comfy bedroom with bath attached, fantastic location (tip: check out Radio Coffee and Beer with Veracruz All Natural taco truck on the premises- only a block away) and 2 adorable pets, Rufus and Olivia.

Stephen and Courtney were positive and fun to talk with. Their pets were also great, especially the chicken :) Arrival was easy - the house was easy to find and we agreed on the arrival time with Stephen. Our room was  very clean and nicely decorated and we had direct access to the bathroom. We absolutely recommend Stephen's place for a stay in Austin!"

704789,34339772,2015-06-07,10910300,Kayton,"This was a very quiet and comfortable place to stay. Stephen and Courtney were very welcoming and I received some great tips about touring the city.  The room had a very comfortable bed and lots of space to relax and work in. I also enjoyed the company of their pets, the cat especially who provided fun distraction while working.  Definitely recommend if you are looking for a great place to stay!"
704789,34948745,2015-06-14,27334632,Jesse,"Steve's place was really fantastic. The room was clean, comfortable and very private. The ensuite and TV are a good addition.

Steve was a really great host, he was friendly and very accommodating. 

The house is located relatively close to downtown, approximately 10-15min by uber.

This place was great, would recommend to anyone.

P.S Rufus and Olive are the best"
908903,3782722,2013-03-14,5080659,Alyssa,John and Jennifer were wonderful hosts and their house is beautiful and clean. Highly recommended!
908903,3811042,2013-03-17,1662804,Kathrine,"Jennifer was a great host! We enjoyed staying with her, and wish we'd had more time to get to know her. She was a gracious host and even gave us a ride downtown one day so we didn't have to catch the bus. The house was great and her two dogs were super cute! Would definitely recommend and stay with again."
908903,3930336,2013-03-28,5267253,Viktor,"The best start into my Austin adventure!

Those guys are deeply good people and great hosts! I've had a really good time with them and enjoyed my stay every second. Their two dogs are fun to have around.

Everything was as described. The house has actually just been refurbished - so almost everything is quite new. The room offers enough space and privacy and the backyard is nice to have a timeout in the sun. The neighborhood is safe and pretty close to downtown. On the way there's several places to have a good time.

Deeply recommend Jenn' and John's place for your stay! 
You'll love it!"
908903,3990165,2013-04-01,5593300,Leslie,"Jennifer and her husband, John, were great hosts and have a lovely home.  They not only offered comfortable accommodations but were also wonderful and friendly people.  My only regret is that my busy schedule for my short time in Austin didn't allow me to spend more time chatting with them, as they were such a friendly and nice couple.  I highly recommend them if you're looking for a place to stay in Austin--I'll definitely be staying there again next time I travel to that fair city!"
908903,4088315,2013-04-08,5704872,Christian,"John was very hospitable, giving great advice on local eateries.  He even went so far as to invite us to hang out with his friends and give us the head's up about traffic due to a marathon! Very laid-back, kind, fun-loving people (although we didn't get to meet Jenn) in a convenient location.  The bed was a good size (there were two of us) and comfortable (they even left us magazines to peruse!)."
908903,4132364,2013-04-12,5267253,Viktor,The first week was awesome and we actually became friends. So I could'nt resist extending my stay in Austin and for sure booked Jenn & John's place! These guys are very welcoming and warmhearted and a third stay at their place is already planned in mind. Recommend them highly!
908903,4174801,2013-04-15,4099189,Jessica,"Jennifer and her husband were great hosts. They were super open and friendly. Jennifer was eager to share tips and recommendations about Austin and all of them were awesome. 
This really is an awesome value. The room was nice and clean, the location was good, and it was great to have access to a nice backyard. If you are looking for a good place at a great price, definitely check this place out.  "
908903,4268888,2013-04-23,5383463,Heather,"We had a great experience staying with Jen! They are super layed back and easy to talk with, as we'll as really knowledgeable about things to do, see, and eat in Austin. We had a few unexpected things pop up during the trip, and Jen helped us figure things out so we could just enjoy Austin without worry. I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a friendly place to rest your head at night (and the Tempurpedic bed is amazing!) Thank you a million times over for your hospitality, Jen!"
908903,4367736,2013-04-30,5355818,Laura,"We had a great stay here.  These are good people with a beautiful, clean home and very cute dogs.  They gave us great info on where to eat and the places we tried were delicious.  Super warm, friendly and casual.  Location is great, though we had a car so can't say how public transport is.  Bed also was very comfortable.  Would definitely stay again.  "
908903,4484726,2013-05-07,6096805,Nika,"I stayed at Jennifer's place for almost two weeks and I had a blast. 

Jen and her husband John are the friendliest, most considerate and hospitable hosts you'll ever meet.

They made sure I had a great stay,let me know of festivals going on in Austin and were great to talk to.

The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable and stacked with everything you could ever need.

From the first day I got there until departure day, they made sure I enjoyed my stay at their home, which I did - tremendously!"
908903,4539353,2013-05-11,6096805,Nika,"I really enjoyed my stay! Could not have been better. Clean, comfortable and super-friendly hosts! Definitely recommend staying at Jen's place!"

908903,4953205,2013-06-03,6561950,Zach,"I had a great stay with Jennifer, her husband John, and their friends! They're truly great people and were wonderful hosts. It was very easy to get to their house from the airport and travel elsewhere around Austin. And Jenn and co. were very accommodating. They even showed me around Austin to get some good eats!"
908903,5088218,2013-06-11,6257176,Elaine,"Jennifer and John are amazing hosts, so incredibly sweet and accommodating. That bed in the guest room WILL be the best, deepest sleep of your life!

I got there late on a Thursday night and thought I had to go to CVS to pick up some toiletries, but they had everything I needed! 

Their dogs are the sweetest and totally filled my doggie void for the weekend.

Needless to say, when I come back to Austin I will be calling Jennifer and John. They were truly wonderful."
908903,5172589,2013-06-16,6901760,Nancy,"Jennifer and her husband John are the most accommodating hosts we could have asked for. They accepted our request at the last minute, had the room perfectly set up - complete with a printed out sheet of food and sightseeing recommendations from an Austinite's inside perspective - and let us do laundry as well. We would absolutely stay with them again!"
908903,5663197,2013-07-10,6825508,Dot,"Ok, so we were new to Airbnb, and a little wary of the entire concept, and we were trying to conserve funds. As first-timers we really could not have lucked out any better. You're reading a ton of reviews I'm sure, so here's the run down of reasons why you should skip looking around and double down on Jen & Jon.

- HOSTS: Two of the nicest, ""normal"" folks you'll meet on Airbnb (even tho it seems like everyone in Austin is nice). They were legit in offering us beers, snacks, anything to make our stay more comfortable and even invited us out. Which we obliged. They honestly should be working for the city's tourism office given how helpful they are about getting to know the city.

- BED: When they talk about how great the bed is, they're right. My boyfriend is 6'4"" and we typically sleep in a king. He now wants to buy a Temperpedic bc of how much he loved their bed. The sheets on on the bed seemed to be brand new, and she provided plenty of extra pillows or blankets. Room was clean and stocked with free mags, a little bathroom amenity basket, and a hairdryer.

- COST/LOCATION: Sure, there are sexy lofts and apartments downtown available but not within a price that justified opting out of a hotel. But Jen & Jon have priced this room perfectly. The location is not dead center in all of the action, so if you have a car its perfect for getting around the entire city. You have access to their spacious living room and kitchen, you don't feel like you are in their private space, and sort of feel like you live there (for those of you thinking about moving).

- PARKING: You don't want to look for or pay for parking at 1am after a fun night on S. Congress, their neighborhood has plenty of street parking, I honestly think they would let you use their driveway.

Their dogs are adorable, we miss them! They do a little barking at you when you arrive or leave, but it literally lasts 10 seconds tops- we thought it was funny. We had plenty of privacy and didn't feel smothered by hosts that needed to be our best friends.

Happy renting, feel free to contact me w any further questions abt this great place and awesome couple.

908903,5719134,2013-07-13,2869363,Valerie,Jen and John were fantastic hosts! Beautiful house and great insight into fun things to do in Austin. Warm and inviting people and would highly recommend staying with them to anyone! 
908903,5802541,2013-07-16,7301064,Sumit,"I decided to stay at Jennifer and John's place after my prior airbnb reservation was highly disappointing and had to be cancelled.  The reservation was last minute on a Saturday late evening and Jen was very accommodating. Jen and John and both great hosts and really friendly folks.  You will be sharing your bathroom with Eric, who is a really friendly and a cool guy. The room was very nice and the Tempurpedic bed is super ultra comfy, its better than staying at a hotel. Jen had all the basic toiletries in place and I even had access to their pantry which had basic snacks, beer and coffee. She also had a print out of a personalized guide of cool things to do in Austin, which was a nice touch. They have 2 cute chiwawa's who take some time to warm up but quickly get friendly. Parking was never a problem and all in all a great experience. Will highly recommend checking them out."
908903,5856664,2013-07-19,5993743,Dustin,"I could not have asked for a better place to stay for my trip to Austin.  Jennifer's house is in a great location super close to anything and anywhere you need to be.  Jennifer and her husband are both super chill, great people, and their two little dogs are super sweet.  I would stay here again anytime they would have me, and would recommend Jennifer's place to anyone looking for a place to stay while in Austin!"
908903,6217104,2013-08-04,5267688,Natalie,"Jon and Jennifer are wonderful hosts. The room was clean, the bed very comfy, snacks provided, excellent coffee in the morning, and fresh towels provided (maybe even a quick vacuuming of the room when I wasn't there!). They checked in on me to make sure I had things I needed (toiletries, for instance) and invited me to join them on various occasions to hang out when I wasn't busy researching. As I was in Austin for research at UT, I found the bus line (two) very accessible, easy to use, and prompt (I'm used to public transportation in the Bay Area). I was able to get to a CVS, Walgreen's, and HEB (amazing grocery store) very easily as well. Both Jon and Jennifer were thoughtful about my needs as a guest, even picking me up from the airport. I highly recommend staying with them. Thanks for the hospitality!"
908903,6574422,2013-08-17,7674953,Al,"I stayed with Jen and John for 4 nights.  I am currently working in Austin and trying to find a place to live here permanently.  

They were great hosts.  There were spare toiletries and snacks.  There was a tooth brush and that was a great thing when getting ready for work at 6:30 in the morning.
"
908903,6678162,2013-08-20,7920591,Candice,"I had a great time staying with Jennifer and her husband John and their cute chihuahuas! Jennifer was very accomadating when booking the room and when I got to Austin she helped me with directions to the bus stop and even filled me in on great places to eat which I loved! For my first time in Austin, they made the trip extra enjoyable.The bed in the room was the best sleep I've gotten in a long time, the snacks in the room were appreciated and it was very easy to relax in the space. Felt like home!
I would recommend Jennifer to anyone interested in visiting Austin! "
908903,6747856,2013-08-23,3320928,Jason,"Was lucky enough to be a guest of Jennifer and Jonathan during my first visit to Austin. To be honest, I could not have asked for a better Airbnb experience. Their kindness, generosity, gorgeous place in a convenient location, all made for a very special experience. I have used this service all across America, and their tempurpedic mattress bed was the best nights sleep I have expereinced anywhere.these guys are the best! Would stay there again in a flash!"
908903,6928512,2013-08-30,8386778,Jake,Jen and John were incredibly friendly and inviting during my stay. Moving to a new city has been a stressful and overwhelming process; having a welcome place to come to helped so much. Anyone traveling to Austin should check this place out.
908903,7379323,2013-09-17,1463775,Edith,Jennifer was an awesome host! Their place was nice and super clean. She even had a toiletry basket in the room of common things you forget on trips. She was super responsive even while she out to any needs we had. I highly recommend staying here! 
908903,7615737,2013-09-26,8991412,Tyler,A very hospitable crew!! It was my very first airbnb stay - they were perfect hosts - I seriously appreciated the effort they put into helping me find the local highlights and various golf attractions!!
908903,7798516,2013-10-03,8893038,Jim,"I could not imagine a better way to spend my first few days in Austin than this one.  Close to everything, comfortable (the other reviews on the bed are spot on; it's the best ever), and with the nicest hosts possible.  Highly recommended!"
908903,8084885,2013-10-15,7839905,Kris,"Everything about this place was great. Jen had everything we could ask for.  Her husband is great as well, both very easy to talk to and helpful. The house is at a perfect location for ACL or anything downtown. Jen thank you forever thing and I hope the next time we come to Austin we can stay at your place again. 

P.S. Jena dogs?! Adorable. "
908903,8778967,2013-11-18,5910283,Luis,"This was my very first time using aribnb and I can not be any happier. Jennifer was always willing to answer any questions before, during and after my stay in her beautiful house. Everything was clean and in order. Her two dogs were lovely and easy going. I am just so happy I was able to find a great host during my stay in Austin. Her location was prime too. Just a straight 5-7 min drive to downtown. Loved it!"
908903,9077688,2013-12-04,10337661,Anthony,"Our stay at Jennifer's was fantastic! It is a beautiful home in a nice neighborhood, clean kept, and very comfortable. Kitchen is stocked and always clean, nice backyard and deck, and much room for parking. I also loved their 2 chihuahuas, cute, friendly, and fun =) First time using airbnb, and couldnt have asked for a better host nor place. Thank you so much! "
908903,9195665,2013-12-12,8541589,Anthony,"Jennifer was an awesome host. She provided good tips about what's worth checking out in austin and was very accomodating. Her place was always clean and Oreo and Nilla were well behaved. Also, she isn't exaggerating about the bed. I sunk in and just about instantly fell asleep everytime."
908903,9222799,2013-12-14,10485913,Meghan,"Jennifer and her Husband graciously opened their home to my friend Danielle and I on short notice. It was an overall very hospitable  environment; clean house, loving dogs, soft bed, room in the fridge (thank you!). 
We had a great stay!
"
908903,9512674,2013-12-31,3882703,Shohei,"Great place. Less than 15 minutes away from downtown ATX. Very safe and close to a bus stop (I drove so I didn't use the bus at all but I did see a bunch of buses coming and going). Very nice house. Friendly hosts. Great bed. There's not a whole lot to do within the walking distance from the house. Plenty of street parking. Safe. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you have a car. "
908903,9883522,2014-01-16,8583036,Serena,"La casa di Jennifer si trova a pochi minuti in macchina dal centro della città: la camera è molto pulita e profumata.
Jennifer e suo marito sono stati gentilissimi e simpatici, ottimi padroni di casa!! Anche i tre cagnolini che hanno sono dolcissimi e affettuosi. "
908903,10767545,2014-03-06,12297919,Hilary,"Jennifer and her husband were great hosts.  They were incredibly friendly and welcoming.  The house was clean, and we slept so well on the VERY COMFORTABLE bed.  It was easy to walk to the bus stop and take the bus straight into downtown Austin.  We would definitely recommend staying with Jennifer."
908903,10917322,2014-03-13,9610355,Pernille,"Very nice place, good beds, great coffee (beer and water in the fridge), cute dogs, very friendly hosts. Only one drawback: it is not close to town, but there is. Rapid bus taking you there in 25 minutes (the walk is 1 hour and 20 min)"
908903,10977908,2014-03-16,4499515,Marion,"Jennifer has a great house with a extremely comfortable bed. As I was in town for South by Southwest, my interactions with her were very limited, but they were very accommodating. The busses in Austin are very easy to navigate so no need to worry if you're traveling carless. Their dogs are very sweet as well. I highly recommend this room!"
908903,11055428,2014-03-18,9514789,Morissa,"I really enjoyed staying at Jennifer's. The house and room were so clean and comfortable, the location was great, and Jennifer's three chihuahuas were the cutest co-hosts one could ask for. Slept so well in the quiet, peaceful space; appreciated all the snacks and local tips; and was impressed how easy it was to zip into downtown Austin (about a 10-15 min drive) and find parking wherever we went, even with SXSW wrapping up. A wonderful first time using AirBNB and first time visiting Austin! "
908903,12853370,2014-05-12,13932584,Katherine,"My friend and I had a lovely time staying with Jennifer. Everyone was very friendly including her three cute chihuahuas! Beer and snacks were waiting for us, and the bed was incredibly comfy! The bus line was less than a five minute walk away and took you straight into town! I would definitely recommend Jennifer's house as a place to stay :)."
908903,13085158,2014-05-19,2432533,James,"With ARBNB we meet the most delightful and wonderful people by living in their home for one or a few days.   Jennifer and John were no exception.  They were fantastic and thoughtful hosts with a hair dryer, iron, and even cookie snacks in our room.  The bed was wonderful.  We like it clean, especially Chen Chen.  Jennifer met Chen Chen's high cleanliness standards.  I asked about an Austin Farmers Market and a few minutes later I had an email with the location, directions, and timings.   They were flexible and accommodating with a very comfortable home in a great location.  I highly recommend their space for any one traveling to or through Austin.  James & Chen Chen"
908903,13347248,2014-05-26,3032964,Jalaine,"We enjoyed a pleasant stay in Jennifer's guest bedroom for two nights on our recent trip to Austin.  The room was nice, the bed very comfy, with a bathroom right next door.  Note:  You do share the bathroom with their roommate, but it was no big deal.  Jennifer (husband and roommate) are all very nice and laid-back.  They employ a real, ""Mi casa es tu casa"" mentality which was lovely.   I'm not so sure about relying on the bus for transportation though.  We saw few buses in Austin during the weekend, so I'd highly recommend a car.  This is a great place to stay for a couple of days, esp. if your needs are few and you don't plan on spending much time ""at home"" and want to save some $ on lodging."
908903,13497097,2014-05-28,8647040,Tess,"My friend and I had a very relaxing and restful stay at Jennifer's house. She accepted us extremely last minute, and despite a few technical issues, Jennifer welcomed us into her home. Thank you Jennifer! "
908903,13636621,2014-06-01,9909408,Mark,Nice stay! We stayed three nights at Jennifers place and it was really nice. The room is good and has a nice bed and good storage possibilities. There are three dogs in the house and it was fun to interact with them. Jennifer was easy to reach and helpful with everything we needed. The location is safe and convinient to drive into town.
908903,13882736,2014-06-07,10943108,Stephanie,"The house was lovely, bed was so comfortable! Austin is a great city you can get the bus quite easily downtown but would catch the 801 just because it seems to have less sketchy characters onboard. "
908903,14309280,2014-06-16,15870792,Lauren,"Jennifer and John were fantastic hosts! The house and room are exactly as listed. The bed was extremely comfortable, which was important to me with all of our daily activities. Both Jennifer and John were very flexible with checking in and coming and going. I loved that they were both foodies and able to provide some recommendations of good restaurants. Overall, it was a great stay! Thanks!"
908903,19157590,2014-09-07,20446914,Christy,"The guest accommodations were excellent. Jenn and her husband were fantastic hosts and even provided a pool towel when I mentioned I wanted to visit Barton Springs. They are in a great location near the trails and at a fair price. Thanks, guys!"
908903,19501058,2014-09-13,12679760,Al,It was amazing 3 days in Austin. The room is very clean and host is supernice! Thank you guys! We highly recommend Jen's place! Highly!
908903,19906289,2014-09-20,19812730,Rob,"I stayed with Jenn and John, along with their super friendly roommate Eric, for the better part of a week for my first Airbnb experience and it could not have been better! Let me list the ways!

1. Between sending an initial message to check availability, to texting the day of my arrival, pre-trip communication with Jenn was extremely easy.
2. The room was exactly as advertised, and spotless to boot.
3. The bed is very high-end and REALLY comfortable.
4. The 3 chihuahuas, Oreo, Nilla, and Mini, are hilarious and made coming home from long days of apartment hunting that much better. If you're cool with dogs, you'll probably love these ones.
5. The location of Jenn and John's home is great. Being *on South Congress Street helps anchor you if you're new to the city and if you're doing anything in ""South Austin"" this is a great location to have as home base.
6. Along the same lines as the location, parking isn't an issue since they're in a residential neighborhood.
7. Lastly, Jenn, John, and their roommate Eric are just awesome people. They even took me out to Rainey Street on my last night in town and I had a blast hanging out with them.

Thank you for having me!"
908903,20201440,2014-09-25,19028748,Aly,Our stay at Jenns place was great! The matress was very comfortable! And we enjoyed nice chats with everyone at the house! Their dogs are lovely and everything was clean and convinient.

They make you feel very welcome, there are great guest amenities in the bedroom like easy to access towels, hair dryer, magazines of the area and a nice basket of things for emergencies.  We were in town for a wedding, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend staying with them.  Plus they have adorable dogs. :)"
908903,21127427,2014-10-12,1864797,Jolinda,"I LOVED this place! My friend and I booked and the process was so easy. I had a crazy busy week leading up to the trip and Jenn was patient and accommodating with us. All photos and the description are totally accurate and the owners and their roommate and the dogs are all lovely, easy-going, nice people. Clean and roomy space. Lots of great amenities. Jenn was super simple to work with, even though I had some flight complications getting down there. Jenn communicated super well with us although we only saw her once (mostly because of our different schedules, not because she wasn't around). We felt a perfect balance between being welcomed and being given space and privacy to stay here or come and go as we pleased. Our room was comfy and clean. Bathroom was right outside our door and clean as well. We stayed for the ACL fest and the walk to the bus line was 5 minutes. Bus travel to Zilker park was about an hour. Great, safe neighborhood. Loved it!! Would recommend to anyone! If I were to come back to Austin, I would stay with these guys. Lovely, spacious kitchen. Roomy, clean and inviting home. Great back yard and outdoor patio area that would be excellent for an extended stay."
908903,21437260,2014-10-17,13609481,Sarah,"Jenn was a great host. Her house was just down the road from the bus stop, which took us straight downtown. The room was perfect and had everything we needed. "

We had a great time staying with them. The location was convenient without a car. The bus is right down the street. It's a few minutes from SoCo district and about 30-40 minutes to get into downtown (website hidden) - The bed is a dream. (:"
908903,25253240,2015-01-10,23298793,Barbora,"We were welcomed into the house by my house made and the three Chihuaha's. The room was very comfortable, clean and even had water and towels waiting.  It's very close proximity to the South Congress area which is a nice spot to hang out. Jenn'as husband was a very friendly host and suggested a very good barbecue spot for us to go to.  I would highly recommend this place. Thank you again guys."
908903,25343951,2015-01-12,25806963,Andrew,"we came in late but were able to arrange that with Jenn so it wasn't a problem. We then made it out for breakfast and came home around noon, when we met John (her husband) and then Jenn. Theyboth gave us great suggestions of things to do and see, and we took them up on those suggestions. It was great! This was our first Airbnb and it was a huge success, thanks to Jenn and John's hospitality! "
908903,25451846,2015-01-16,2275168,Jeffrey,Host was great and understanding.  Great neighborhood and location. Place was fantastic.
908903,25818771,2015-01-26,21451865,Romyr,Jenn was a fantastic host. We arrived very late but everything was provided for us. The room for our needs and there was even water and snacks readily available for us. There were end tables on both sides of the bed which was fantastic for two people and there were outlets as well which made charging our phones much easier. Would definitely stay again! Highly recommended!
908903,27443867,2015-03-04,24006843,Dania,The hostess was nice. We both had different schedules so we did not interact as much. The room was as described and the 3 dogs were amazing. I fell in love with them. The house was big and I felt safe. 
908903,28381106,2015-03-23,24320938,Susan,"This was the ideal place for me to stay: a lovely house on a quiet street, but right by two bus routes, which made travelling around Austin easy. Jenn, John and Eric were really friendly and so were the three dogs! They were happy for me to come and go as I wanted, and I would definitely stay here again."
908903,28785337,2015-03-30,15813602,Maija,"I had a great stay at Jenn's place. It was comfortable, clean, and very affordable. Her dogs were adorable too. I would not hesitate to stay here again."
908903,29510196,2015-04-08,12403812,Yenyy,The room at Jenn's house was great. The bed was comfortable and the room had all the essentials that one would need. It's clean and quiet. We found it to be an excellent value. We had a car and it was convenient to most spots that we visited. 
908903,29817179,2015-04-13,25902190,Bo-Chun,Jenn and her husband were really nice! They took us to local fast-food to experience the local food at the first day we arrived Austin. We had a really good time there.
908903,30142993,2015-04-18,5164819,Abby,"Jenn and John were lovely hosts, really friendly and helpful. Their home is beautiful, nice and clean with everything you could possibly need. 5 minute walk to bus stop with direct bus into the city. Really enjoyed our stay."
908903,30620865,2015-04-25,28664011,Emily,"I loved that they had a shelf with all the necessary toiletries and other things a traveler might need/forget in the room. It made you feel right at home and the house itself was pleasant and welcoming with guidebooks/maps about Austin. Jenn and John (her husband) were out of town for most of my stay but their room-mate Eric extremely helpful and nice! I decided not to rent a car so took the bus (and Uber) which worked well since they do live close to the main bus line, but just be aware, the bus takes a while. I loved the adorable Chihuahuas as well as the pretty backyard. "
908903,31334613,2015-05-04,5907891,Ray,"Kind hosts. We enjoyed staying at their lovely house. It's clean and organized, and the bed is very comfortable. Location is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Highly recommended"
908903,32814997,2015-05-22,29085996,Luzma Fabiola,"That was nice staying at Jenn,s place!
The bedroom is just as in the pictures and the bed is comfortable. It was nice to find all information about Wifi, cheek out,  and some other instructions in pictures frames. 
When I was at their place (Jenn and her husband, and roommate) it was supposed to have some renovations (floor renovations). So the Living room and the dining room were completely empty. So I ate and had coffee in the bedroom sitting on the floor. I also did some work (computer) on the floor because there wasn't any table around. 
"
908903,39758391,2015-07-26,33587447,Kaci,"100 % recommend staying here and we hope to again sometime. The house was clean and nicely decorated. But what we enjoyed most was how hospitable the hosts were. Wow, so kind, so thoughtful and easy to be around. Hospitality is definitely their gift!! Do yourself a favor and book this space now :)  You won't regret it, promise. "
908903,40521981,2015-07-31,39352787,Natalie,"Jenn and John were wonderful hosts! They and their adorable dogs were very friendly and welcoming. Their beautiful home made for a cozy and relaxing stay. Coming and going at your own whim is easy and convenient. The room was very comfortable, the bed was amazing and the extra little touches like snacks and water by the bed as well as essential toiletry items in the bathroom were very much appreciated. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend this spot to any travelers!"
908903,41091049,2015-08-04,6971836,James,"Jenn and John were simply amazing.  There isn't enough space allotted to rave about them both as host and human beings.  They recommended some exceptional places to eat and visit.  I fell in love with Austin, and I plan on going back very soon.  I can say when I return I will definitely stay with Jenn and John. "
908903,42737179,2015-08-15,39398618,Romeo," Amazing hosts! Jenn and John are friendly and very hospitable people. Whenever in Austin, please go to them! They will make you feel at home :)."
908903,46913813,2015-09-14,14021319,John/Kristen,"Did not get to meet Jenn, but our brief interaction with John was very pleasant. Room and area were great (esp the bed), and any question we had was promptly and graciously answered by Jenn. 100 gold stars!"
908903,47813899,2015-09-21,32905139,Israel,"My wife and I traveled our first time to Austin, Tx and had a great time spending our night's at Jenn's house.
The photos and description matched perfectly to the actual house; snacks were available; and place was always clean. Also, bed is extremely comfortable. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.
Thanks"
908903,49441753,2015-10-04,11556467,William,"She personalized the room we rented--we had nameplates on the door, and that was a cute touch.  The room was exactly as listed...perfect.  The neighborhood is close to downtown Austin, and felt very safe, quiet."
908903,50283791,2015-10-11,4444206,Jackie,"There was no interaction with the host for the length of our stay, but through the email communication, Jenn made us feel welcome...she had water/beer/snacks available for us.  The room was as listed.  The neighborhood was fairly quiet and since we didn't need the car during the day, we didn't have any problems parking on the street."
908903,51336288,2015-10-19,3079031,Anna,"Jenn was super responsive and her place is homey, sunny and clean. I had a nice stay here."

We found the property to be in a great neighborhood and in a location where it was really easy to get to all the cool places Austin has to offer. Kate had supplied us with everything you could possible need for a stay. She even stocked the fridge for us! I highly recommend Kates property and would gladly stay there again!"
5374688,52630734,2015-10-31,46782407,Adrian,Had a great stay thanks to Kate. Very accommodating along with her husband. Very Cosy apartment. Location is ideal in relation to access roads for Austin. Would recommend this apartment to anyone at a great price.

76184,3772588,2013-03-13,4795508,Ari,"location is 9
accommodations is a 10

my only complaint is that i believe the owner may have  a cat as i found myself sneezing a lot while inside the apt...but other than that it's really a great place to stay"
76184,3825511,2013-03-18,5295092,Casey,Great place! Location is amazing. Views are spectacular. Very comfortable spot. The gym and pool are a nice bonus. Overall a great experience. 
76184,7533681,2013-09-23,8693448,Ken,"Great communication and great place! Nice amenities, easy walk to Whole Foods, good restaurants, an all of the fun Austin has to offer.  Would definitely stay here again."
76184,8805548,2013-11-18,9955127,Tsubasa,"Located walking distance to the heart of downtown so it made it very convenient for us to enjoy the nightlife in Austin! I was there for Formula 1 weekend so taxis were impossible to get. 
The apartment has a gorgeous view and its very modern. 
If you need something Whole Foods is a minute walk. I would definitely book this place again!

If I were to nitpick it would be the animal hair on the bed. It might be tough for people with allergies and a lot of my clothes ended up with some animal hair. "

76184,28273641,2015-03-21,4032464,Charles,"Everything was laid out and as expected when I walked in the door. I had to come in a little earlier than the usual check in date and Nat was perfectly accommodating. The view is fantastic and very calming, despite being very convenient and close to the energetic downtown area. The biking system has a station right by the place so I was able to make use of that frequently and it was an excellent way to get around town. Would absolutely stay here and again and only hope they'll take me."
76184,32014711,2015-05-12,3379036,Curt,"Great spot in Austin with a View! Stay here for ACL or any other event that is held at Zilker.  Actually this would be an awesome spot to watch the kite festival in Austin.  The view is amazing, Nat is super accommodating and the neighbors are great.  Did I mention the view is amazing and the host is easy to work with?  I use airbnb a lot and this stay reminded me of why I love to book these types of places.  The host showed us around, bought us a bottle of wine and had a book put together of the adventures we could find around Austin.  I played xbox, listened to music on the sound system and watch some movies on that amazing TV.  If you are looking for a cozy spot, with a few, 3 min from downtown and a walk to the Whole Foods HQ.  Work with Nat and rent this spot next time you are in Austin looking for a high rise condo with a view!"
76184,42016883,2015-08-10,39055112,Andrew,"Nat did a great job, both before and after we arrived.  He provided us with everything we needed before hand and checked in on us while we were there.  The space is awesome.  Beautiful views, really well furnished, great location, and an amazing swimming pool.  Next time we come to Austin, we will definitely check to see if his place is available.  Thank you Nat and Brooke."
76184,45868702,2015-09-06,10771432,James,"Nat was present but not overbearing by digitally checking in a couple of times throughout the stay. The apartment is cozy and in a great location. Highly, highly recommend staying here. "
76184,47982356,2015-09-22,35541441,Rubie,"Perfect location, beautiful views of all of Austin, close to everything we needed and wanted. The pool was a great bonus on 95 degree days!"
76184,48745027,2015-09-28,42528819,Alec,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was fantastic not only because of the place, but because of the host.  Nat was great!  Always responded timely to questions before my arrival and was very friendly and thorough during the check in process.  The location of this property is great; you're close to all the goodness that downtown Austin has to offer.  A nice bonus was the rooftop pool to lounge at before hitting the town for the evening.

I always loved going to Austin and this place makes me look even more forward to my next trip back!"
76184,49776547,2015-10-06,4187998,Rodrigo,"Sem palavras pra descrever Nat e seu apartamento. Ele é exatamente como vemos nas fotos. A localização é incrível. Moderno, completo, limpo, com garagem disponível! Não poderia ter sido melhor, ideal para um casal. Espero estar de volta no próximo ano. Parabéns Nat. Obrigado!
I have no words to describe Nat and his apartment. It's just like we see in the pictures. The location is amazing. Modern, complete, clean, with parking available !. It could not have been better. I hope to be back next year. Congratulations Nat."
76184,50633543,2015-10-13,41450341,Marie,We greatly enjoyed our stay at Nat's home. He was a wonderful host and very accommodating! This was a perfect location for us as well! A quick walk to everywhere we needed to go! We will definitely try to stay here again!!
76184,51297522,2015-10-19,265973,Sarah,"I just returned home from a wonderful 3-day stay at Nat's condo. The location is AMAZING  - Whole Foods around the corner, rental bikes down the street and tons of food and shops all around. Nat greeted us on time and got us oriented to the condo. The condo is well appointed, SUPER clean, modern and has great amenities (the outdoor pool is gorgeous). The condo is fairly high-tech, but everything was easy to use as Nat has instructions either posted or in a binder that is easily accessible in the kitchen. Check out was a breeze. All in all, a great experience!"
76184,51795520,2015-10-24,45931404,Janae,"The apartment is a great business getaway. Comfy, awesome view, Nat has a bottle of wine at the ready when you arrive, and it's perfectly situated right across from Whole Foods. The train does rumble through multiple times in the night but the location is excellent and the view is incredible. Pool facilities are great, apartment is well stocked with all necessities so I had a great comfy business stay that made my coworkers stuck in the Marriott jealous. Apartment is also very stylishly decorated which just added to the fun of staying here. Mac users are in luck with all peripherals necessary. "
7020988,37407926,2015-07-06,5680777,Jennifer,"Lindsey's treehouse was a great find! They were super flexible with us on check in and check out times and even came to our rescue within 15 minutes after having locked ourselves out (and our poor dog inside) of the house on a Sunday! The place is very tastefully and uniquely decorated and truly has a ""treehouse"" feel to it. Even though we came prepared, they had all kinds of extras like shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent for our use. We also got a sneak peak into their front house (just across the beautiful courtyard) that has 3 or 4 separate bedrooms, all with big, fluffy bedding, beautiful hardwood floors, a very large dining table and a wonderful living room, wonderfully decorated with vintage Austin charm. I would highly recommend this house for a group of 6 or more. It's totally worth it!  Needless to say, we truly enjoyed our weekend in Austin. ALSO- the location is perfect for downtown/6th/Congress street plans as it is literally 5 minutes away in car from the hot spots. We would love to visit again!"
7020988,38556116,2015-07-16,359441,Kate,Thanks for a nice stay. I loved the outside space! We appreciate your flexibility on check-in. Great Complex and great neighbors....
7020988,40811203,2015-08-02,37411811,Edward,The place looked great and there were no surprises.  The home was clean and easily accessible.  It is closer to downtown than we thought. You can walk downtown with no issues.  The decks and private courtyard are a really nice addition. Margaritas around the fountain. 
7020988,41486060,2015-08-07,39741993,Maggie,"We absolutely loved the Downtown Austin Treehouse! Anytime we had any questions, Lindsay wrote us back right away. The pictures were extremely accurate, and the kitchen was pleasantly, bigger than expected. The treehouse was tucked away with a couple of other units, but it felt like our own personal oasis. "
7020988,42215260,2015-08-11,40423881,Jordan,I stayed here with my wife and two daughters and we really enjoyed the privacy and unique personality of the place. Our girls loved having the upstairs all to themselves. Its a charming little place that was a great change of pace. Very convenient to get all over town. Thanks.
7020988,42585666,2015-08-14,39662453,Aaron,"Great place to stay, very cozy. "

7020988,45579367,2015-09-04,39643568,Gene,A great hideaway in the middle n of town!  The Lindsay and Ras we r fantastic hosts.  They went way above and beyond the call of duty to make our stay a memorable experience.  Home was well taken care of and the beds slept great!  Thanks Lindsay and Ras!
7020988,46543509,2015-09-11,43140921,Santiago,Everything was accurate and the property was in very nice shape. 
7020988,47488001,2015-09-19,6846016,Kevin,"The Treehouse was a beautiful, comfortable location for us. I had two board members in town for my organization's board of directors' meeting, and they stayed here. It was a great option for us; so much better and more ""Austin"" than a generic hotel room. They were quite happy with it."
7020988,47973318,2015-09-22,38117930,Robert,"Nice place overall, but not a ""true""  2BR as the upstairs is more like a loft with the bathroom on lower floor  .  No door on upstairs loft so privacy limited. The circular stairs to the loft were steep and not for those who have any mobility or balance  issues. The upstairs carpet was very stained and there was One major maintenance issue which was eventually handled but the place could use a bit of freshening . Convenient location , good parking , internet works well. "
7020988,48323632,2015-09-25,17168614,Ryan,"This spot was a great find, a jungle paradise in the heart of Austin! Close to the action but secluded and quiet, we had a great stay and would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys a twist."
7020988,50927488,2015-10-16,1540717,Alex,Really great spot in a peaceful but convenient location.  I'd stay here again in a heartbeat.  No issues whatsoever.
7020988,51438830,2015-10-20,8986979,Laura,"The public listing is accurate but the instructions sent after booking are not. We had to contact the host multiple times to find out how to obtain and return keys, etc. 

We loved the trees surrounding this charming little home and all of the outdoor space. It's very convenient to get to by car. There are dishes/glasses for 2 people. Everything is clean and comfortable."
5652978,28285597,2015-03-21,19756834,John,"One of the housemates let me in the first day. Comfortable enough place, didn't want for anything. The people I met were friendly enough. Nice location, easily walkable to the downtown area for SXSW. I also walked further east, as well as to the UT Austin campus, so the location and neighborhood is arguably ideal. Didn't get to meet Elisa but her boyfriend was helpful and was reachable by phone."
2223306,10903621,2014-03-12,6979934,Samantha,"Marcos was an excellent host and the house was lovely. Great neighborhood, around the corner from Torchy's tacos (huge plus). Very close to multiple bus stops, very quick ride to downtown. Marcos also provides bicycles with helmets if that's your thing. Very attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend!"
2223306,11080921,2014-03-19,12555669,Andrew,Perfect house for our group of people.  The house was great and Marcos was super accommodating.  Exceeded our expectations!
4149998,35727742,2015-06-21,6640025,Christopher,"Everything was as described and really satisfied our needs. Matt was super helpful with suggestions and even gave us a ride when we were pressed for time. We accidentally locked them out for a little bit (deadlock) and they weren't mad at all, we had a laugh about it. Will be looking to stay with them again next time I am in Austin!"
4149998,36066083,2015-06-24,1546598,Alison & Yohan,"The apartment is just as described, a charming oasis hidden in a great part of town. Nikki & Matthew were easy to reach and responsive to any and all questions we had and we made a new best friend in Louis! He is the sweetest, most welcoming lab - instantly making us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend staying here!"
4149998,38924328,2015-07-19,21136622,Cassedy,"Nikki & Matthew were super friendly and the place was so clean and in an amazing location. Louis, the dog, couldn't have been a sweeter more well-trained dog. A little gem of a place in Austin - highly recommend!"

4149998,42037207,2015-08-10,15018373,Florian,Nikki and Matt were great hosts. The room was clean and there was even a maid that came and cleaned during my stay. I would stay here again and would recommend to a friend. 
4149998,43878414,2015-08-22,5173443,Vishal,"Absolutely delightful hosts, and very friendly dogs! Offered us a ride to a nearby destination instead of us having to take an Uber; super accommodative and helpful. Would stay again! "
4149998,45494858,2015-09-03,40752116,Edward,"Nikki & Matthew left the keys under the door since we came into town late at night. Our room was nicely made up with towels, bathroom supplies, etc. We also were able to use the coffee maker. Louis (their dog) was very friendly and a good companion. Both Nikki and Matthew left early in the morning so there was no battles over the shower. Their home is very cute and cozy."
5362696,49730021,2015-10-05,45364196,David,"Timothy was a great host and very welcoming. The house is nice, and it's in a quiet neighborhood in a good location not far from Zilker Park, which is perfect for ACL. I would absolutely recommend staying there to anyone, and would look to stay there again the next time I'm in Austin (if available)."

The apartment is beautiful, very clean and the view is amazing!  The location is fantastic, walking distance from almost everything of interest and just blocks from buses that go everywhere else (South Congress, ect.).

Will and Leslie were exceptional hosts.  Communication was off the charts amazing and they were very accommodating to our check in and check out needs (we were traveling off hours).  We followed up on several of their excellent recommendations and they even left spare toiletries and beer/wine to make our visit more pleasant.  

I can't recommend them and their place enough!"
6146470,32380935,2015-05-17,2926462,Lee,The apt was awesome and in such a great location! William was very helpful and accommodating. Austin rocks!

Thanks William & Leslie!"
6146470,33926404,2015-06-02,6426486,Renee,"Fantastic condo with a great view! Looks just like the pictures and the queen bed was extremely comfortable. We were traveling with our dog and he probably enjoyed the comfort of the condo most of all :) Leslie and Will always responded very quickly and made sure to answer any questions, and they even offered personalized suggestions for our visit to Austin. It was a great home base for exploring the city! "
6146470,34785459,2015-06-12,1652252,Jeff,"Everything about this place was just perfect for my stay in Austin.

6146470,34964610,2015-06-14,9692998,Samantha,Great location. Cute space. Awesome balcony. Nice hot shower. Super comfy bed. Loved the keypad access. Unfortunately we came into a dirty apartment and spent almost our first hour of vacation cleaning and washing the sheets. Luckily there was a broom and dust pan by the front door and paper towels and 409 sitting on top of the stove for us to use. Animal (dog I'm assuming) hair all over the floor and flew off the duvet when we shook it. Not the end of the world but definitely gross and an inconvenience The hosts were very nice throughout the entire booking process and I'm sure will clean better (or have the apartment cleaned better) in the future.

She was so incredibly accommodating and definitely went beyond the extra mile to make us feel welcome, give us suggestions on places to go and how to get there, and to make sure sure we had a wonderful stay. I would absolutely recommend her place to any of my friends and would rent again without question! "
8608422,49748612,2015-10-05,453559,Samant,Nice clean place- great for ACL/Zilker convenience. Stephen was very helpful in checking us in and being responsive in helping us with local recos.
8608422,50543562,2015-10-12,16699606,Eryn,Stephen was an awesome host! He is very communicative and will go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. Clean! Great access to Zilker park and trails! Taco Deli on the corner is delish. 
8608422,50911541,2015-10-15,45885644,Graham,The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8608422,51366981,2015-10-19,45512450,Terri,"Very clean studio in excellent location. One block from greenbelt and 30 min walk to Barton Springs. Stephen was very communicative and welcoming. Great experience.

4523695,28297113,2015-03-22,211765,Jesper,"We had a great time living in this house. It was in a perfect location in Austin. Three rooms with five beds, two bathrooms and a great front porch. Just the perfect location for 4-6 people spending some time in Austin!"
4523695,30879133,2015-04-28,12581241,Brendon,"Nice spacious, clean home. The location is fantastic, and the place was perfect for our group! Would definitely stay here again."
4523695,51561290,2015-10-21,8146753,Tommy,"The 'Rad House' was pretty rad! The decor is very cool and interesting. The house itself was large and spacious. We loved chilling on the porch drinking and chilling. The location itself is great, right next to the park, plenty of great spots to drink and eat! The road its on is residential but really nice and relaxed. Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin, which will probably be next year! Thanks Paul"
3852874,19256101,2014-09-08,16706906,Brian,"Great stay with Eric. He was super nice, welcoming and accommodating. The place wAs clean and comfy and close to everything. Would definitely stay again.
"
3852874,20288960,2014-09-27,7379145,Darby,Nice one bedroom. Great shower. Close to Franklin's BBQ. Eric was an excellent host.
3852874,20451697,2014-09-29,4227271,Sara,We had a pleasant stay in Eric's one-bedroom cottage. Close to lots of great restaurants and bars. Eric was easy to work with.
3852874,20911230,2014-10-07,12006828,Andrea,"I have never felt more welcome at an Air'bnb accomodation before! Eric was very easy to work with, given how late we arrived/early we departed. Towels, etc. were easy to find. We also very much appreciated the Texas-themed snacks! His dog was very cute too!"
3852874,21155031,2014-10-12,16208859,Lillian,Amazing Experience. The location is awesome - all our local friends ere impressed by our choice of locale. Eric was so helpful every step of the way with a list of great neighborhood spots. Very welcoming for our dog who had a fenced in back yard while we were there. Loved the TV with netflix/roku. Lovely bathroom with triple shower heads. Super comfortable bed and great bath towels. We actually wrote down the names of the pillows and towels we liked them so much!
3852874,21343070,2014-10-15,475212,Hannah,"As it was my boyfriend's and my first time in Austin, I can definitely say that we absolutely loved staying at this east side Austin bungalow! It is perfectly located to walk to several great coffee and food destinations, as well as a quick drive to everything else. The space was spacious and well-equipped, too. Also, we enjoyed it's dog-friendly aspect and brought our two small Italian Greyhounds along. They had a nice time in the backyard and made friends with the house-dog, Scooby! "
3852874,22022725,2014-10-28,21230552,Marisa,"Eric's place was a great spot for us to stay in Austin. Quick walk or car home to/from lots of East Side restaurants & bars. The place actually is better than the photos show it to be! Super comfy king sized bed & really nice large shower. Be warned, though - the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything the hosts or other guests are doing. "
3852874,22359863,2014-11-04,17572174,Kas,"We have just returned to New York having spent the past weekend in Austin staying at Eric's lovely pad. Eric was so welcoming and extremely helpful, even going as far as giving us a ride into town on our first day. He was quick to respond to any questions we had about the house, local establishments and getting around the city.
We stayed in the one bedroom back part of the house, which has it's own separate entrance through the yard and nice back porch area to hang out. The bedroom is great as is the lovely big shower in the bathroom. The computer available was handy for us to download pictures we took during the day at the track. The walls are thin so you can hear most of what is going on in the front part of the house but Eric has got a white noise machine, which did help.
Overall, a great experience and would recommend this place!"
3852874,22734556,2014-11-13,3245630,Louise,"We had a fantastic stay in Erics apartment. Eric was extremely helpful in providing information and recommendations before and during our trip. The apartment was clean, comfortable and recently decorated. We couldn't imagine a better location, the apartment was a short walk from the cool bars, rsstaurants and food trucks on 6th and 11th. Austin is very spread out so a car or bikes are the best way to get around and see other areas of the city."
3852874,22983578,2014-11-19,4113441,Peter,"We had a great time at Eric's place. The apartment was immaculate and had great touches to make you feel like you were in a hotel, such as the high-end shower and super comfortable king bed.

The neighborhood was very safe, we never had an issue. It was a short walk or cab drive to east 6th St. 

Eric checked in with is throughout our stay and was a great host. We will be staying with Eric on our next trip to Austin!"
3852874,25648402,2015-01-21,1228551,Lacey,"Very cozy space an an interesting neighborhood. Walking distance to downtown but also many great restaurants, cafes, bars, and things to do nearby. The walls between this of unit and main part of the house are thin so if you want complete privacy it may not be the best option. I was already aware of this, and there's a white noise machine, so for me it was no problem at all and I found it quiet and peaceful. The little back deck is a nice touch. Eric was a great host, providing toiletries, snacks, a few welcome beers in the fridge, and even dropped off some cream for the coffee for us. Very comfortable bed."
3852874,25808917,2015-01-26,11799747,Kelsey,"Great experience staying here--would definitely stay here again! Looked just like the pictures. Nice and clean, private (with the white noise machine, hearing people on the other side of the house was not an issue at all), easy to come and go. I went around to the front of the house to introduce myself to Eric and he seemed like a nice, easygoing guy--happy to provide anything we might need. Great East Austin location--it was super easy and cheap to get around using Lyft. Nice amenities like plush towels, great water pressure, big, comfy bed, plenty of closet space and hangers, and nice ""extras"" like the single-serve coffee maker, minifridge, microwave and dishes. No complaints at all, but just a suggestion to Eric that adding a full-length mirror somewhere would probably be appreciated by future female guests :)"
3852874,26879579,2015-02-21,424546,Erin,"My friend and I had a fantastic stay! I used to live in East Austin, so staying here felt like coming home. This location is absolutely perfect for visiting all the best that East Austin has to offer-- short drive or easy 10-15 min walk. Easy check-in and out. We already miss Eric's super comfortable king-sized bed and fantastic rain shower! We would definitely stay here again. "
3852874,27011836,2015-02-23,21128491,Michael,"Eric was most accommodating even while he was out of town.  Finding the house and gaining access was a breeze.  The pictures are very accurate, the house was very clean and gorgeous.  The king sized bed was oh so comfortable and the rain shower was and unexpected bonus. Our dogs just loved the back yard, all they did was run all day!  The neighborhood is so cute, all kinds of craftsman homes and modern new construction makes you want to walk around or ride a bike.  The location is very very close to everything Austin has to offer.   Eric provided us with a very good list of things to do around the neighborhood and Austin and I took full advantage of his expertise.  Although you share the space with other people in the front, unless your actively paying attention to their conversation, it feels like you have your own space all to yourself.  Eric helped my first visit to Austin be incredible and cannot wait to stay here again.  Thank you Eric for everything! "
3852874,27295577,2015-03-01,2361603,Caroline,"Eric was a great host! Really appreciated his hospitality. He provided a very helpful list of local options and amenities. Comfy, clean room with big bathroom in a private space. Loved the shower. We really liked the neighborhood a lot. "
3852874,28159438,2015-03-19,642556,Anders,"I had a blast in Austin for SXSW largely due to the fantastic hospitality of Eric in his lovely and clean backhouse with a cosy back porch that fits 4.

Eric was a wonderful host, who did his outmost to solve any problems that occurred without hesitation or questions. I would choose this place to stay any time. Couldn't have hoped for better place. I Thank you :-)

The walk to Austin Convention Center was around 30 minutes."
3852874,28291773,2015-03-21,83348,Yu,"Communication and check in was easy. Although Eric wasn't in town, he made sure everything was allright. Apartment was nice, well kept and clean. "
3852874,28502266,2015-03-24,12465180,Adam,"Eric was a great host and the place was exactly as described. Would definitely stay there again when traveling to Austin. Private and very clean. 

Eric is also a great guy and gave great recommendations for food and drinks. The place is in a great area and close walk to bars or a cheap lyft or uber to downtown. "
3852874,28943532,2015-04-01,13380937,Darren,"Eric was great. Didn't meet him personally, but he was always very fast to reply, gave me a great list of restaurants and information, and was very helpful.

The space is very nice, and one of the best bargains I've found on AirBnB. The street is nice and quiet and within walking distance of one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. +1 for the free drinks in the mini fridge.

ONE WARNING: you have a bedroom at the back of the house. Which means there's a front of the house (behind a locked door). Which means you will have housemates, even if you can't see them. 4 out of the 5 nights I was there, it was no problem. But on Friday night, the other guests came back at 1AM talking loudly. I waited for them to settle down, which they didn't. I rapped on the locked door and they quieted down, but didn't completely go silent for another 15 minutes. 

Eric was great - the next morning we texted and he contacted the other guests to remind them to be quiet, and I didn't have a problem again. But just be aware that if you want total and complete quiet, you either need to rent out the entire house, or you're taking a chance. That was my only negative experience the entire stay, and it was due to other people, not Eric or the house.
"
3852874,29060779,2015-04-03,22658497,Katy,Your place was absolutely amazing! I ran into no problems during my brief stay. I hope we kept your place in good shape! Thank you again for letting us stay and making our stay wonderful!
3852874,29915312,2015-04-14,27106435,Brian,"Great place, great location, had a beautiful time. Eric was totally hospitable. Would definitely stay here again."
3852874,30408055,2015-04-21,30169732,Ben,This was a fantastic little hideaway in East Austin. Great location. The place itself is modern and comfortable and Eric is a fantastic host. Can't wait to come back!
3852874,30686479,2015-04-26,6016835,Patricia,"Wonderful place! Clean and pleasant, with a comfortable bed and a great little patio for sitting out and drinking your morning coffee. (In person it's even nicer than the pictures might lead you to believe.) Eric was friendly and welcoming - he even sent over a list of handy tips about some of great nearby bars and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again, and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet Austin getaway in a great up-and-coming neighborhood!"
3852874,30885982,2015-04-28,9555316,Ellie,"Eric was a great host.  Communication couldn't have been better.  Before we arrived, he responded to all of our questions almost instantaneously and gave us recommendations and plenty of information about the area.  During our stay he also reached out to make sure all was going well.  The room itself was very comfortable and perfect for what we needed.  Location was near everything we wanted to do and there is ample street parking right in front of the house.  Would definitely stay here again the next time we are in Austin."
3852874,31330180,2015-05-04,11399180,Andrew,Eric was a very welcoming host and a great guy to talk to.  The house was exactly how it was described and Eric even had snacks available for my enjoyment.  The home is in a great East Austin neighborhood near downtown and all the hip new spots the area has to offer.  I highly recommend staying here on your next Austin adventure.
3852874,32752804,2015-05-21,13046232,Brandon,"Great place to stay. Convenient to pretty much everything. Looks just like the pictures. East Austin is my favorite neighborhood by far. King size bed was probably the best part of the whole trip. My girlfriend couldn't migrate all the way across it at night to attempt to push me onto the floor. Perfect. 

Eric was super helpful. His recommendations are on point. Friendly if we met during our frequent coming and goings but not over the top. 

Rent a car, too much cool stuff is outside the city. We had one, best decision of the trip. If you don't want to wait at Franklin's, Lockhart, Texas has great BBQ. And an awesome gun range. 30 minutes or so outside the city. Capitol building is open late  and really cool to walk through. The bats are cool but would be better during peak season (twice as many, July?). 

Austin was worth it, so is Eric's place. "
3852874,33272422,2015-05-26,31221327,Matthew,"Eric's house was exactly as advertised, clean and welcoming in a great neighborhood -- quiet block, but within walking distance of great food and drink and relatively accessible to the rest of the city. I especially enjoyed lounging on the back porch listening to the wide variety of birds that call the area home. 

Eric was quick to reply to questions or issues. We didn't experience any problems during our stay, but I am confident that Eric would have responded accordingly had we. 

Would definitely stay there again in the future! "
3852874,34561743,2015-06-09,19454758,Paul,"The unit was a one bedroom/one bath attached to the main house.  It did not have a kitchenette, but did have a mini fridge, for which the owner was nice enough to provide some beer, soft drinks, and water.  The unit also had access to a porch in the backyard with a table and chairs to enjoy the fresh air.  It was conveniently located, about a 15-20 minute walk past the highway to the downtown area (or a $5 Uber ride).  The place was also very clean and well kept. Overall, I enjoyed my time in Austin- great food! "
3852874,34822534,2015-06-12,9385326,Mary,"Really enjoyed my stay! It was clean, had all necessary amenities. My dog loved the fenced in yard. The space is tacked onto the back of the house, so when the front is rented out there is noise. It didn't bother me, but just something to be aware of! Eric took every step to make it manageable, with a white noise machine by the shared (website hidden) and water are in the fridge, and the shower is fantastic! Thanks for a great stay, Eric. "
3852874,35327411,2015-06-17,4266059,Jennifer,"Place was great! Super cute with a great shower, comfy bed. The back porch was nice for chilling. Eric was very easy to work with and I loved that he left us beers and coffee! "
3852874,35505569,2015-06-19,9838047,Charlie,"Clean, quiet, charming and comfortable.  I will look forward to staying here again.  Nice to get to know the Eastside of Austin.  Walkable location and Austin charm with nice layout for stay."
3852874,36615718,2015-06-29,20901981,Joey,"Eric was very hospitable and promptly answered any questions we had about the place.  The room is great and is located near all of my Austin favorites.  Even though we drove most places, its an easy walking/biking distance from lots of great bars and restaurants.  It was quiet, comfortable, clean, and easy.  You can't ask for more!"
3852874,37377496,2015-07-06,28525739,Christiaan,"Great stay. Very clean, very responsive"
3852874,38652113,2015-07-17,13594252,Ari,"Really great place,  Eric defiantly made you feel at home with coffee and  drinks in the fridge.  The neighborhood was great and has AMAZING food.    And the shower is incredible.    "
3852874,45952906,2015-09-07,3005855,Tami,"My first airbnb! Eric is an awesome host, and the cottage is beyond adorable - it looks exactly like the pics, but better because you can't fit the giant shower in a photo. (I tried.) I stayed for six weeks, and though I will probably look for something with a full kitchen in the future because I’m generally a long-termer, i would also come back here in a heartbeat - it’s really super comfortable and clean. The shower is probably the nicest that I’ve actually showered in and not just seen on TV. You will likely be sharing the house, which is divided into two “apartments,"" but the door between sections is securely locked and bolted, and with white noise machines, noise is really not a major issue. The back porch is wonderful for watching the giant geckos in the backyard in the mornings, and the neighbors have a really lovely pool to gaze upon. I was a big fan of the Roku and Chromecast. OH! And let's not forget the TV in the bathroom. How could I forget the TV in the bathroom!? There’s even a Roomba for your personal entertainment (or for cleaning the floors, whatever…) I'll miss this place!"
3852874,47290390,2015-09-17,3005855,Tami,"Awesome house, awesome host. I was so happy here I stayed longer than planned."
3852874,47788473,2015-09-21,42853712,Sean,everything was exactly the way we expected it to be
3852874,48730563,2015-09-28,4756987,Michael,"The host's home was exactly as described, very neat and in wonderful condition. Great back porch environment for hanging out in the evening. Nice neighborhood with plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Had an amazing time!"
3852874,49393860,2015-10-03,37721370,Vijay,5 star experience. The pictures don't do this place justice. You have your own private patio and one of the most comfortable beds i've ever slept on. East Austin is a great neighborhood as well.
3852874,49793655,2015-10-06,42600327,Ed,"Eric was an attentive and considerate host.
Never having used an Airbnb, my wife and I were not sure what to expect, and we have nothing to which we can compare. That being said, we were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the accommodations and the professionalism of its owner. The unit was comfortable and really just what we needed given the proximity to where we wanted to be in Austin. "
3852874,50624157,2015-10-13,33342964,Cassandra,"Eric was very welcoming - he introduced himself on the first day and let us know a few things about the place. The pictures lined up with exactly what was represented online. This place really worked out well for my husband and I when we flew into town for Austin City Limits.
 "
3852874,51441206,2015-10-20,15795,Alyssa,Place was perfect for a short stay. Very clean and spacious.  Eric was great at communicate and very attentive.
3852874,51689480,2015-10-24,23316905,Genita,"Eric was excellent at communicating with me.  His initial text/email was very detailed with all of the information I needed to access the cottage.  He gave several suggestions of places in the neighborhood to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.  As I am familiar with the neighborhood, I also endorse his suggestions.  Eric texted me the afternoon of my scheduled arrival and let me know that everything was ready for my stay, including snacks.  
I hate to say that I never made it to the cottage.  I was at a farm to table dinner at an urban farm not to farm from Eric's location. I am friends with the farm owners and as it got rather late, I decided to stay at the farm and not bother Eric by coming in so late.  
I know I would have enjoyed my stay, as the neighborhood is a great East side Austin location with lots to do within walking distance of the address.  I want to thank Eric for his understanding.  I would recommend staying with Eric because of his excellent communication and great location.  "
3852874,51845614,2015-10-24,11262348,Justin,Perfect house in the best neighborhood in austin. My friend Leah and I had a wonderful experience and Eric was a great host.
3852874,52990303,2015-11-03,45618319,Michael,Eric was very accommodating to my arrival time and replied quickly to additional requests and questions. The place was clean and stocked with coffee and drinks. Overall a great experience.
6894466,40058463,2015-07-27,7186776,Linda,Cosy and sweet apartment within walking distance to SoCo. Lauren was also very helpful with directions and other useful tips. Avoid if you are allergic to dogs though! //Linda
6894466,42213782,2015-08-11,24515394,Christine,"Lauren's home was very cozy, nicely decorated, not too far from South Congress and a 10 min Uber ride downtown. We didn't get to actually meet her, but she was always a text away! Highly recommend!"
6894466,42989721,2015-08-16,4086488,Eric,"Lauren's apartment was very clean and cozy. It was a great spot to come home to after a long day of adventuring in ATX. The location was nice and close to SOCO area and a quick little drive or bike to downtown. Lauren was easy to communicate with and her check in/out process was simple. I would highly recommend this apt to anyone looking for a good deal and a nice experience in a great location. 
Thanks again Lauren."
6894466,46191565,2015-09-08,16065282,Chris,Lauren was a fantastic host. Easy to deal with and the apartment was perfect! Great location too. 
6894466,51382183,2015-10-19,45918455,Trevor,"From the moment I arrived at the studio apt, I was completely impressed. The studio was clean and very organized. The pictures don't do justice for this studio because it was incredible. The location was perfect and Lauren was so nice and responded quickly to any questions or concerns about the studio. I definitely would recommend this place you won't be disappointed."
7636391,44056771,2015-08-23,24595410,Joey,"Good place, clean and great location off of South Congress. Greg left us a bottle of wine which was great and he responded through text with any questions we had."
7636391,50531886,2015-10-12,17221200,Amber,"Greg's place was great! His apartment is in a fantastic location (close to excellent boutiques, delicious restaurants, music venues, and a killer coffee spot). Neighbors were quiet, and the apartment was overall very comfortable. 

Greg also gave us spot-on recommendations for food and drinks in the area. We enjoyed everything he suggested! 

We had a snag with the tub the first night we stayed there, but Greg got it sorted out quickly. He is an excellent communicator and even made a special trip back to the rental with extra supplies when we asked about additional towels for the kitchen.

7868263,51132228,2015-10-18,13731898,Hadiel,"Fair's property was amazing! I stayed for a few days in a group of 7. We were two families, so the two condo sides were prefect for providing privacy as needed, but quick access to one another.

The location is great! 10 minutes from anything in DT Austin, and the neighborhood is a peaceful, warm spot near the trails. 

The property was very clean and well designed. There were plenty of plates/cutlery, and Fair was kind enough leave some snacks and drinks in the fridge upon our arrival.

She was extremely communicative and super friendly!! A great hostess, with a wonderful property! This is definitely a great stay in Austin!"
7868263,51993957,2015-10-25,44094716,Rick,Fair was awesome and her place is great. She was especially kind when we slept in and missed check out by 45 mins. 
5451143,27892520,2015-03-14,28424593,Beth,"The room is beautifully furnished and comfortable, with everything provided that you might need for your stay. The house is located about two blocks from the bus stop for route 37, which made it very convenient to commute to the university. I enjoyed my stay immensely!"
5451143,28337510,2015-03-22,28263490,Jasmine,"Lola made me feel so welcomed during my stay. Her home is beautifully furnished and her dog Iggy is one of the nicest dogs ever. I stayed in her home during SXSW and the location was only a $10 Lyft Line ride to downtown, but with discounts it came out to only $5 per ride which wasn't bad at all. The room I stayed in was very nice and I have no complaints. Lola provided everything that someone may have forgotten to bring with them like extra shampoo, a lint roller, etc. She made every effort to keep the line of communication open and left notes each morning for me and her other guest. Lola was so generous that she provided breakfast items and even baked muffins one morning! I couldn't have asked for a better host or place to stay. Thank you Lola!"
5451143,30743040,2015-04-26,8449853,Greg,Lola is a perfect host. Her place is very comfortable and welcoming and clean. Her home is easy to find and not far at all from downtown. 
5451143,49726870,2015-10-05,11500956,Alisha,"Lola was the most gracious hostess! She made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. Her home has such an inviting, comfortable energy, and it was exactly what we needed. To top it off, she has the sweetest little fur baby, Iggy. They both were a delight to get to know and connect with. We will definitely be staying with Lola the next time we're in Austin!"
5451143,50395748,2015-10-11,12733824,Penny,"Lola communicated very well before, during and after. Bed is very comfortable and the house is about a 10-minute drive from Downtown without traffic. Breakfast options make a huge difference. I'd highly recommend this listing!"
5451143,52003467,2015-10-25,30427468,Orval,"Lola was one of the most kind and gracious hosts I've had on AirBnB so far. She not only gave me tips on where to visit but also provided a written list of them for me. The entire home was clean, cozy and I didn't want to leave it! I spent one day just relaxing there and working on my screenplay.

The location is walking distance to a very fun  bar called Nomad. I made some fantastic new friends and also heard great live music at another close bar called The Carousel.

Lola has an adorable dog named Iggy. Iggy kept me company while I worked on my screenplay. He is very calm and friendly, but knows when to let you do your thing.

I cannot say enough good things about staying at Lola's home. She made the most amazing pumpkin spice muffins on my last day and it was just the cherry on top of the awesome vacation cupcake."

"
6611101,37356149,2015-07-06,35507773,Alexandria,The home was beautiful and just as described. Extremely modern and clean. The host was very thoughtful and had stocked the house with everything needed to make it a comfortable stay. The location was great no matter where you wanted to go in Austin. We will definitely stay here again. 
6611101,38177814,2015-07-13,19591649,Michael,Easy access in and out and great modern condo that is close to everything. I would definitely come back and stay here! Very clean and communication was easy and effortless. 
6611101,40480999,2015-07-31,37183199,Cecilia,"Es una casa sumamente agradable y funcional todo esta en perfectas condiciones. Si te gusta caminar estas a 20 minutos del centro de Austin, llegando por la primera que se convierte en La Vaca en donde están todos los lugares para comer, comprar, pasear. La vista de la primera hacia el centro de noche es sensacional además de que esta lleno de ""food trucks"" no te pierdas los tacos, ni las donas. En Olorf a 3 cuadras de la primera esta un Heb en coche está a 2 minutos.
Te reciben con un detalle en nuestro caso por ser mexicanos unos nachos y Totopos además de unas deliciosas galletas. Todo los baños están equipados con papel, pañuelos desechables y jabón así como todo lo de limpieza para la cocina. Hay dos televisiones con todos los canales por si te gusta ver películas. En la noche gozas el yacuzzi después de las caminatas del día !!
Estuvimos mis cuatro hijos y yo felices así como las personas que nos visitaron.
Si me dicen que mejorarían seria en tener dos bancos mas para la mesa desayunador y persianas para no dejar pasar la luz en el segundo cuarto y en el área de estudio para que se conviertan en mejores dormitorios.
Felicidades a la anfitriona me sentí en casa."
6611101,40952750,2015-08-03,12246187,Jez,We love this house! ... And Lisa was great. We would definitely stay again.
6611101,42003194,2015-08-10,29864300,Ryan,This house was beautiful and the location was perfect for adventuring around Austin! Would definitely stay at this place in the future. 
6611101,43560869,2015-08-20,31445871,Chase,"We had a fantastic time in Austin and want to thank Lisa for the amazing hospitality.  The house was clean, up kept, and full of Austin charm.  The quarters was spacious enough to accommodate to our party comfortably.  In general it is just a beautiful house.  If your looking for a place to stay that sums up Austin this the place to stay."
6611101,44175786,2015-08-24,34407434,Ashleigh,Booking was easy and her response time was quick. Our weekend stay was great! The home was in close proximity to South Congress and downtown which made getting around easy. The home is gorgeous and they do a wonderful job of keeping it clean for new guests. Would encourage others to stay here!
6611101,45171743,2015-08-31,41672618,Phong,"We enjoyed staying at your place and it's centrally located to the places we wanted to visit and eat.  The decor was nice and we appreciate the cookies and chips that welcomed us.  Most importantly, the beds were comfortable.  Lisa was responsive to our inquires and requests.  We would stay here again when we visit Austin."
6611101,46904833,2015-09-14,10211999,Betsey,We loved our stay! The place was so neat and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. Thanks Lisa for the snacks! They were much appreciated. Would definitely recommend. 
6611101,47407256,2015-09-18,43353868,Erin,"We had a wonderful stay in your beautiful home. Everything was perfect, and the location couldn't have been more ideal. Thank you for opening p your home to us and we will definitely be back in the future!"
6611101,47665789,2015-09-21,17739391,Kate,"We were so grateful for Lisa sharing her home with us. We were a group of six visiting Austin for the first time, and our trip wouldn't have been the same without Lisa's awesome house. We arrived to snacks, folded towels, and a superbly clean place, and Lisa was so responsive in answering several questions we had. Overall, such a great stay that we would recommend to anyone visiting Austin - thanks a million, Lisa!
"
6611101,48704036,2015-09-28,39642830,Terra,"This house was beautiful and perfect for celebrating a bachelorette party weekend! Description and pictures were very accurate. The house was immaculate, clean and had little snacks there for us! There were clear instructions provided for the remotes, lighting and electronic systems which was so helpful! We even bumped into the neighbors when heading out one night and they were very nice and friendly. The hot tub was as tranquil as it looks in pictures and was such as awesome plus! Great location close to downtown, easy for uber to find, and near some great food! "
6611101,49603889,2015-10-05,39141569,Skye,"Lisa made us feel very welcome by leaving some tortilla chips and local salsa waiting for us. The house was exactly as described on the listing, there were no surprises. The hot tub was not working when we arrived but Lisa was very responsive and gave us a credit as soon as we alerted her to the issue. The house is clean, modern, and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go in Austin -- thank you Lisa for a great experience!"
6611101,50004088,2015-10-08,1155249,Benjamin,"Great spot, perfectly situated and well-appointed for all our needs.  Lisa was an excellent host.  Would stay here again no doubt!  

Super easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit.  "
6611101,51275973,2015-10-19,6340963,Katie,"We absolutely loved Lisa's home. It was very close to the freeway, the airport, and nearby neighborhoods that we visited. It was the perfect amount of space for all of us and we really enjoyed the decor of the home and of course the hot tub which we used every day. "
6611101,51913660,2015-10-25,19746314,Colleen,We have stayed in several airbnb homes and Lisa's was our favorite so far. We loved the decor and the convenient location. The house was comfortable and clean and Lisa was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again next time we are back in town. 
6611101,52309040,2015-10-28,35420009,Jackie,"This place is fabulous, just like it was described.  The location is great.  Lisa is a great host and was quick to respond to all our questions.  Good taco restuarant on 1st and a convenient market is right around the corner.
You are only minutes to town and we took uber everywhere.  Never having to wait more than 5 minutes or costing over $6.00. Would stay here again."
7746344,50406558,2015-10-11,21521002,Sam,"Cullen's place was exactly as shown in the photos.... Very nice!  Seems like a new place and they had all the necessary stuff like towels, toiletries, etc.... Access was easy with the gate and front door.  Parking was easy inside the gate on the driveway and also on the street.  Cullen was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond.  Would definitely recommend his place to anyone. "
3271774,16330565,2014-07-25,14513225,Ana,"Tony and Giana were such phenomenal hosts that we highly recommend their services if you find yourself in the Austin. His good vibes, sincere hospitality, and beautiful home offered a warm welcome to this weird city. From the cloud-like mattresses to the cool outdoor bungalow, there is no concern that you wont be comfortable! Don't let size fool you, the bungalow is kept cold even on a hot Texas day and is filled with many good reads, wifi, and netflix! Make sure to bring some carrots and grapes for Shelly the tortoise, shes sure to make an appearance! We are sure to call Tony next time we are in Austin!

Thanks again,

Mark, Ana, Frida, Steve, and Doris!"
3271774,16444890,2014-07-27,2776258,Jeanette,"Tony was a fantastic host with a beautiful and interesting home. The walls are lined with his art work which is quite the departure from any hotel in which you might stay. This place is a great representation of Austin's reputation. Known for being a creative community where art, music, and amazing events and venues are the soul that makes this town unique, Tony's home definitely has the Austin vibe. 
The back yard is beautiful with a koi pond and gardens and best of all; Shelly the tortoise. What a treat to be able to hang out with a tortoise! Shelly will follow you around in hopes that you'll bring her some carrots and also, I think, sometimes, for the company. 
Tony, his girlfriend and amazing daughter were sweet and helpful and the cherry on top was they way in which they interacted with my coonhound Brenda Lee. When I was out and about I had no concern whatsoever about leaving Brenda Lee in their capable hands. They were affectionate and welcoming to her and Brenda was in heaven having a young person to snuggle with on the couch. 
The room I stayed in had an amazing mattress on the bed - so comfortable and the bedding was pristine clean and beautiful. Having a private entrance is always a good thing, whether you use it or not, it is nice to know you can come and go without disturbing the rest of the house. 
I almost forgot to mention that the neighborhood is one of the most desirable in Austin - safe, quick access to highways, and beautiful. Mature trees surround the well loved and renovated mid century homes and the many gardens are good viewing should you take a walk through the community.
I highly recommend staying with Tony at his very cool and beautiful home. It was a great experience!"
3271774,17237345,2014-08-09,18844392,Lyee,"I really enjoyed staying with Tony! He's a really friendly guy, and he's really open to talk to his guests. He's made the place very welcoming; he made the bed, organized the bathroom, and overall treated us extremely well throughout our stay. Tony has a lot of interesting stories to share and he's a great guy to talk to, but he's very mindful of your privacy at the same time. The house is pretty small and doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very clean and has a nice homey feeling to it."
3271774,18505885,2014-08-27,20186460,Dan,"If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin you have to stay at Tony's! I hope every other host from now will be as warm and welcoming as Tony has been. From the start he helped us out with navigating around Austin, even giving us his local maps with what to go and check out. Tony really goes the extra mile with his guests and helps in any way he can. He also has a lot of interesting stories he will share with you. The neighbourhood is safe and quiet, and you will have everything you need in the house. Plus Shelly the tortoise lives in the bark yard. You really don't have to look any further for a host in Austin!"
3271774,20306925,2014-09-27,1009146,April,"Tony was an amazing host! I moved to Austin with no apartment lined up, a dog, a cat and a birdcage and for a reasonable pet fee he let the critters and I stay:)  He was also super cool about letting my dog hang out with him and even playing a little fetch while I was looking for an apartment (she fell in love with him and it was so much less stressful for me knowing she had company) and would even feed me dinner if he was cooking for everybody, great cook!  His girlfriend Elise and room mate Desiree were super friendly as well!  Of course Shelly the tortoise was a fascinating bonus and Tony was doing even MORE fancy gardening while we were there, the backyard will be even better than in the pics by the time you get there yourself!  Would definitely recommend, he couldn't be friendlier and more helpful to anyone new to the city:)"
3271774,21902100,2014-10-26,20904244,Kate,Amazing host. Tony went above and beyond to make me feel at home in his delightfully unique Austin home. Staying at this airbnb added to the richness of my visit. 
3271774,25913714,2015-01-29,9131674,Curtis Gene,"Tony and Elise were perfect hosts!  I will definitely stay with him again if I am ever back in Austin, and their roommate is a delightful young lady with a wonderful mind and quick wit.
They have many wonderful things in their home, and outside!  Do yourself a favor and stay with them!"
3271774,30844917,2015-04-27,31716292,Yuntong,"Tony is a great host, very friendly and gives great advices about what to do in the city. He even put together a guidebook by himself. Also the yard is gorgeous!"
3271774,36324145,2015-06-27,15541602,Adam,"Tony, our host, really took the time to try to get to know us while still giving us space. He helped us find our way around Austin as well as offered recommendations of things to see and places to eat at. We found him a very helpful, genuine, and an honest person.

Tony's house is a super fun place to stay. Tony has added a unique touch to the home which we doubt you will come across in any other AirBnB listing. His studio is full of drawings and dolls. One can really see it is a place where creativity happens. The rest of the house is clean and cool to contrast the Austin heat. Outside, in a small cave in a corner of the yard, you will find Shelly, a tortoise who will gladly eat any fruit you present to her. Outside you will also find a Japanese garden. The house and property, like Tony, is full of personality.

The neighborhood is very quiet and laid back. There were cars parked in driveways and on the street. In the mornings people were taking their dogs for a walk or jogging. We parked in front of Tony's house and had no problems.

We had a wonderful time staying here and highly recommend it!"
3271774,40628634,2015-08-01,37507068,Jason,"Tony was an incredible host, he built instant rapport and was great entertainment. His hospitality was second to none, full of recommendations and consistently helpful. Tony even lent me his back brace when I hurt my back. 

The house is a fascinating because of its varied influences which reflectTony's artistic but professional personality. The location was excellent for me, close to the airport and to downtown. 

I definitely recommend this Air BnB. It would be hard to find a more generous host."
3271774,42339018,2015-08-12,36465758,Trevor,"Tony is a special guy. Not only is he super knowledgable about pretty much everything in Austin, he's fun to talk to about art, movies, music, you name it. He's a very genuine and kind person who really went out of his way to make our first trip to Austin special (even burned some CDs for the drive back to NC). His house is the most interesting one I've been in, and his Tortoise, Shelly, really ties the backyard together. The bed is beyond is comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay. "
3271774,45535743,2015-09-03,36677595,Sandi,"Tony was awesome, very warm and welcoming.  His place is conveniently located minutes from many fun things to do in Austin.  We were provided snacks and cold drinks upon our arrival and the bed was beyond amazing.  We were fortunate in that we were not only able to meet Elise but she even blessed us with a private musical performance as my daughter is an aspiring symphony violinist.  And Shelly was a hoot ;-)  Thanks Tony & Elise!"
3271774,47332886,2015-09-17,5742304,Taryn,"Tony is the best friend you always wish you had. If you're just coming to stay at Tony's, you will sleep like a baby and have a great time but if you have the pleasure of spending time with Tony be prepared for the most delightful trip of your life. We were going through a stressful renovation and had to move out last minute right before a big trip so it was the worst time for us and was not a scheduled vacation. However, it turned into a super relaxing staycation and making a new friend. One of a kind place, people, experience. Well, hopefully not a one of a kind experience, we hope to have many more of them. "
4031397,41771158,2015-08-09,35669087,Michael,"We spent a week at this beautiful house with two other families and a total of 6 adults and 7 children ages 4-9. The house was perfect and was able to accommodate all of us with the guest house never really being used. The bedrooms were very spacious and the amenities throughout the house were first class. The kitchen was amazing and allowed us to cook dinners every night. It was very well stocked with everything you need and the huge built in griddle was awesome for breakfast. The two refrigerators were great for food in one and lots of beverages in the other. The outdoor area was a hit with both the kids and the adults. The pool was big enough for all of us and allowed for countless hours of fun and games. The outdoor weber genesis grill made it easy to grill out every day. The swing set and acreage allowed for hours of outdoor activities. The lake was awesome and the kayaks and paddle boards were so much fun. It was so nice to be able to go back and forth from the lake to the pool throughout the day. The lake was cold and the pool was a little warmer so it offered something for everyone. I loved jumping into the lake which was probably 75 degrees when it was a 100 degrees outside. We were greeted by Kevin (property manager) on our first day when we arrived. He took the time to show us around the house, explaining how to use various items throughout the house and ensuring the accommodations met our expectations. We have vacationed at many different properties and this was one of the best. The amenities of the property, the location, and the service from Kevin made this first class all the way around. Thanks for making our family vacation so enjoyable. We will definitely be back!"
4031397,43081559,2015-08-17,37692991,Hector,"The host was great, Pat was extremely helpful and the home is everything he described and more. We would definitely go back without a doubt. If anyone has scuba gear their is a go pro that fell into the water underneath his boat dock, feel free to find it ="
4031397,44367713,2015-08-25,25933287,SueAnn,"This is a beautiful property in an amazing setting. The home is spacious and very accommodating. The yard area is ideal for children of all ages, with plush grass, swings and a zip line, and since the road dead ends at the house you don't have to worry about traffic. The pool and waterfront are perfect, and the patio area overlooking the lake is comfortable and inviting. The kitchen is fabulous and the open common areas are perfect for congregating. With six bedrooms and baths, everyone was comfortable. Being further up Lake Austin felt at first like a significant trek from Austin and a bit isolated, but there was less boat traffic on that end of the lake, which was nice, and once we got to the property, no one wanted to leave anyway.

I'm giving this property the full five stars based upon how wonderful the place was, and in spite of, and on how responsive the management was to, the two problems we encountered - which leads me to a couple of suggestions - do not turn on too many lights at one time as the power may go out, which happened to us. The property management bent over backwards to try to resolve the problem, which was appreciated, but the situation really put a damper on our first night there, and a warning could have avoided the problem altogether. Also, when they tell you the double French doors are hard to lock and perhaps you should limit access to one or two doors, believe them! We had a very hard time getting all the doors locked. 

Bottom line, we loved the place and enjoyed a fabulous family weekend at this lovely home and property."
4031397,47626497,2015-09-21,33927429,Mj,The property and home were beautiful and nicely decorated with plenty of space. Perfect for a large family gathering!  
4031397,48700831,2015-09-28,890012,Matt,"Pat was great to work with, everything in the house was exactly as advertised.  A group of us stayed here for a long weekend and had a fantastic time in the lake and the pool.  Would love to come back soon!"
1535705,21158674,2014-10-12,21707896,Emma,Wonderful apartment in a great location! Stayed for ACL and we were able to walk to the festival. The host is amazing and extremely accommodating.  I can't wait to come back!
1535705,28073350,2015-03-17,6323027,Shaun,"Madeline was incredibly helpful and welcoming and made me feel completly at home. She was very responsive to the many questions I had and let me use her bike which was a god send! 

Her place is charming and practical and in a fantastic neighbourhood. Possibly THE BEST airbnb experience i've had."
1535705,28167355,2015-03-19,14342461,Teresa,Madeline was very kind and her place was exactly what my friends and I needed for our short stay in Austin. Two bikes were available to use which made commuting to South Congress and Downtown very easy! 
1535705,49600587,2015-10-05,11709320,John,"Amazing! Perfect location for our time at ACL, very clean and comfortable. Would love to stay again. Madeline was very communicative, and friendly. Highly recommend for your stay in Austin."
4171527,28128414,2015-03-18,10434183,Kam,"We had such an amazing time coming home to the cottage each evening after a full day of meetings at SXSW. Katheryn is an exceptional host and was very welcoming. It is an easy 20 minute drive from downtown, although the address doesn't come up on GPS, Katheryn provided perfect directions. It truly is an oasis with the running creek, large windows to enjoy the sunshine, and sitting poolside with a glass of wine. We will definitely be staying again next time we are in Austin!"
4171527,28562811,2015-03-26,27474920,Brandon,Quiet cottage in the hills. Great experience with no problems. Property exactly as described and pictured. Katheryn was a gracious hostess who was both responsive and not intrusive.
4171527,32612133,2015-05-19,32828617,John,"The creek side cottage is a great place to stay.  It was serene, well lit and very clean.  I would highly recommend."
4171527,33833587,2015-06-01,16351470,Brady,"We loved our stay at Katheryn's cottage. She was a great host, and the cottage was spacious, clean and provided a great getaway for my family and I. We would gladly stay here again."
4171527,34888753,2015-06-13,7698055,Patricia,"Katheryn's place was really lovely.  After all the hustle and bustle of the airport and the drive through Austin's infamous traffic you arrive down a winding road into a quiet wooded setting next to a creek.  Just getting out of the car and hearing nothing but birds and crickets was relaxing.  The place itself is beautiful.  A lot of attention was paid to detail, and it was visually stunning.  Large, open and well lit, it is a great place to relax.  "
4171527,35733651,2015-06-21,20132984,Ryan,"We had a wonder experience at Katheryn's Creekside Cottage!  It was a beautiful, relaxing, secluded getaway in the hill country just outside Austin.  Katheryn was a lovely host and made my wife and I feel most welcome.  The cottage was exquisite!  Everything we needed was already there.  We can't wait to come back again!"
4171527,36116672,2015-06-25,25916556,Juan M,Katheryn was a great host and always available when needed. We enjoyed our stay at creek side cottage it's so serene and secluded from busy life. We enjoyed our mornings glancing at deer by the creek. Our children enjoyed the pool time as well. Your Home accommodated us perfectly and it had everything we needed plus bed was most comfortable after our long days of hiking! Thanks again Katheryn
4171527,38119028,2015-07-13,5634868,Lisa,"The cottage by the creek was a haven for our family. I really hated to say goodbye.....
Very beautiful-
Katheryn was a gracious host, and was there if we needed her.  The decor and design was fabulous! It was like living in a treehouse."
4171527,38896852,2015-07-19,2907936,Elizabeth,"Katheryn was a wonderful host, easy to communicate with and accommodating! The Creekside Cottage was very well cared for, private and peaceful.  An evening dip in the pool, paired with a glass of wine, listening to the cicada serenade while watching fireflies dance through the trees was the tranquility my husband and I were looking for."
4171527,40030845,2015-07-27,26842561,Rod,"We loved our stay at the cottage. Everything was exactly as presented & the location is impossible to beat. The beautiful woods surrounding us, waking up to find deer outside the door & the calm was exactly what we needed. We hated to leave! Her place is also easy driving distance to everything Austin has to offer. Kathryn was the perfect hostess. She made sure we were all set but was available if we needed anything. 
We will be back!"
4171527,40808065,2015-08-02,5818566,Katherine,"Lovely cottage. We had a great experience. The property is true to the pictures. It's basically one big room with a dining area, sitting area, kitchen and bedroom with a one bedroom nook with a glass French door and another office nook with another French door. The master bed is very comfortable. The smaller bedroom has a twin trundle that is functional but not especially comfortable if you're over the age of 8 as it's just a thin mattress on a frame. The bathroom isn't anything to write home about. The shower is bare bones and a little outdated. 

What's most amazing about this property is the surroundings. We saw deer every day. A family of six doe seemed to roam freely all around the cottage. This morning we woke to a young buck sniffing leaves out the back window. My son and his cousin were overwhelmed! It was the closest they (we) had seen one and he just ate peacefully for about 10 minutes while we watched. It was awesome. 

Use of the pool and deck are also amazing. 

"
4171527,44004737,2015-08-23,22690985,Tiffany,Our stay was exactly how the pictures described! The cottage was so cute and accommodating for us traveling with our 1 year old. The pool and atmosphere with trees and deer was just like we had imagined! Great stay! 
4171527,46600973,2015-09-12,12774681,Anne,"My boyfriend and I stayed two nights in Katheryn's Creekside cottage after a conference in Austin. It was a very relaxing respite in the hill country: a cozy cottage to watch the rain in a downpour and a lovely patio/pool setup when it was hot out. Katheryn was the perfect combination of helpful and easygoing, as she was always available to answer questions but also let us relax alone when needed. If you want something quiet, but within easy driving distance to Austin and Lake Travis I'd highly recommend this place."
4171527,51153488,2015-10-18,43965849,Salvador,"Creekside Cottage was a wonderful place to stay while in Austin, TX.  Kathryn, was an excellent host and very informative.  The place was exactly as advertised on Airbnb.  The place felt very secluded and peaceful while only being 15 minutes from Austin.  Every morning we would wake to deer feeding outside the cottage. We plan to revisit and stay longer next time we are in Austin. The cottage had everything we needed for a perfect weekend stay.  Highly recommended!!!"
2423468,10986565,2014-03-16,4397824,Jeremy,"This is an incredible, unique home. We had six people in our group and we all slept comfortably thanks to the numerous beds and an air mattress provided by the host. The directions for the home were clearly laid out and checkin was a breeze thanks to the newly installed lockbox. The host generously provided some fresh fruit and coffee as well. I would absolutely stay here again if given the chance. "
2423468,15307205,2014-07-07,5641472,Brian,"The house is beautiful and unique, and the outdoor space is fantastic.  Gale was tremendously responsive and a great host, leaving us with some snacks and, most importantly for my wife, half and half for her coffee in the morning!  We had a wonderful time and will definitely try and stay here the next time we are in the area.  "
2423468,16560923,2014-07-29,1215546,Lauren,"Gale's place was just perfect for our little family get-away over the weekend. The place is located in very quiet neighborhood not so far from the lake/grocery stores/city/etc. The deck in the backyard with the grill and fire pit was an added bonus. They also have veggies and fruits planted in the backyard which you could taste :)

Gale is very responsive to emails and texts with detailed message as well.

Overall, our stay was amazing and we will definitely visit again and recommend to our friends and family!"
2423468,27711766,2015-03-10,8200451,Amanda,Gale was very helpful and thorough with her communications during the booking process and leading up to our arrival. She even called me the day before our arrival to make sure all the final details were in place. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations or the process for check in/check out. Everything was exactly as she described it in the listing and my whole family had a great time relaxing in her beautiful and unique home. I would definitely recommend the Artisan's Retreat!
2423468,31870035,2015-05-11,25749173,Ryan,"Our stay at Artisan's Retreat was one of our best vacations ever. It has plenty of outdoor space to stretch out on and relax. What a beautiful area, house, and property. The art that fills the experience is a great collection. Our hosts were both gracious and inviting. I can't say enough.  "

1896134,8810428,2013-11-18,998606,Kim,"My daughter and I had such a great time with Sher.  She is such an interesting person and we enjoyed getting to know her.  Sher went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had anything we needed.  Everything was very clean and well thought out.  Her rescued dog, Joe, was a delight!"
1896134,13394681,2014-05-26,7221802,Kristine & Kyle,"I can't say enough good things about our stay with Sher! We brought our dog on vacation with us and Sher was MORE than accomodating with her.  Our dog loved hers , Joe the Dog, and she really enjoyed the large, fenced yard. Everything was high class: the room & bathroom were lovely, the bed & bedding was sooo comfortable, the towels were 5 star resort quality. Her home was clean, updated, warm, inviting & very ""Austin"". We were just a few minutes from all the hot spots in town. The best part about of our stay was happy hour with Sher; she's funny, informative and presented a wonder spread of wine, beer and cheese while we enjoyed her English garden view and the sound of singing birds. Breakfast & coffee was top notch & way above and beyond.  Comforts of home and Austin charm, we found a true gem."
1896134,17713268,2014-08-16,10416931,William,"A top Airbnb property for us, an older couple visiting children who live in far south Austin. Sher's location is well within a neighborhood setting, with the quietness this brings,but quickly accessible to I35 via William Cannon, a major E-W traffic artery. 

Sher and her trusty dog Joe are delightful hosts. The room and private bath were immaculate, the bed fantastic. And Sher happily helped us with a minor automobile malfunction the night we arrived. The off-street parking guarded by a closed gate contributed to a sense of well-being. 

We look forward to another visit to the kids in the fall, and we'll be lodging with Sher. What a delightful find for us!"
1896134,18349300,2014-08-25,7503732,Amanda,"Sher was a FANTASTIC host with a lovely airbnb set up. The room and bathroom were perfectly clean and new. The sheets, towels and pillows were plentiful and new as well. The shower was big with two shower heads. Joe the dog was so sweet and easy to get along with. The house was convenient to drive from. 12 minutes to the airport as well. 

Sher is an Awesome host with great old austin recommendations. We had such a great time and will definitely stay with her next time in town. 100% recommended!
"
1896134,18921885,2014-09-02,2014788,Eileen,My husband and I stayed with Sher and her sweet dog Joe for the Labor Day weekend and had an amazing time with them! Sher was definitely one of the most thoughtful hosts we have met. She made sure we had all the information we needed to find the house prior to our arrival and was incredibly gracious once we got there. She always greeted us with a warm smile and had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. It was also great learning more about Austin and its history from a longtime resident like Sher! The room was very inviting and comfortable (the bed was more comfortable than the one we had at a hotel the night before) and the bathroom felt like a spa! The location is ideal too. It's in a quiet residential area and just a short drive to all of Austin's hot spots. We will certainly stay here again and we also plan on recommending it to friends and family!
1896134,20070926,2014-09-22,12183077,Gene,"Sher is an awesome host, and Joe the dog is adorable. Very knowledgeable and helpful about Austin and things to do. Great garden and the room and bathroom are nice and clean. Sher was up for us making coffee in the morning, and amazing breakfasts. She really does run a legit bed and breakfast experience, and has raised the bar for what to hope for on our next airbnb adventure."
1896134,21340392,2014-10-15,1155451,Lee,"Sher and Joe the Dog made us feel very welcome. When we arrived before dawn they were up and ready to greet us, beyond what I expected. Walks in the neighborhood were pleasant. "
1896134,21648186,2014-10-20,22658649,Stanton,"Sher was super helpful and accommodating! I arrived in Austin to discover it was a UT home game weekend and hotel rooms were scarce and and expensive. I was tired and wasn't quite sure how to use airbnb so I was thrilled when Sher responded quickly to my inquiry and walk me through the airbnb process.  The room at Sher's is super comfortable, nice mission/craftsman furniture and--literally--the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on.  Nice touches all around, nice bed linens, nice towels, nice soap.  Really nice coffee and conversation at the kitchen table in the morning with Sher and her sweet dog Joe.  I had a genuinely restful night sleep and I was grateful for Sher's hospitality."
1896134,26384095,2015-02-10,5865219,Adrianne,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1896134,26576883,2015-02-15,1843627,Katrina,"Sher was very warm and welcoming.  She seems like a very genuine person. 

My thoughts below are purely on the functional aspects of the space.  

PROS:
-  Location:  a short drive to downtown, South Congress, and S Lamar.  
-  The private bathroom was great.  Very nice, great shower with hot water and great water pressure, and well stocked with basic toiletries, and lots of towels. 
-  the bedroom was a good size for one or two people.  The closet was very spacious with hanging organizers for storing clothes. There was even water, snacks and chocolates stocked. 
-  I booked last minute and Sher was very easy to communicate with and responsive. 

CONS:
-  noise:  the walls seemed very thin and I  could hear what goes on in the rest of the house easily.  The tv was on often (late at night and early in the morning).
-  it is on a somewhat busy street with a school diagonal across from it. The noise from an occasional car woke me up during the night. 
-  the bed is very firm (all of the above made it difficult for me to feel well rested)
-  while there is off-street parking in the driveway, it is a one car garage, so you need to leave your car key out when you go to sleep in case Sher needs to move her car out of the garage before you wake up. There is street parking available though. "
1896134,28415475,2015-03-23,28590779,Robert,"Cozy house, Cool Host!
We LOVED this place! Sher was extremely hospitable and very thoughtful. The guest room is nicely equipped with plenty of storage space, water and snacks. The decor in the room has a great Austin feel and it's mocha colored walls provide a relaxing and warm environment for rest. Spacious walk-in shower with a dual head that provides just the right amount of water pressure. Aromatic and beautiful garden with great places to sit and read. We hope to visit again!

"
1896134,46106711,2015-09-07,43411064,Maribel,"Sher was a great host, the room was very cozy and  had all necessary amenities for a relaxed weekend in Austin. The bathroom was very clean, spacious and well stocked with towels. She was a very thoughtful host and gave us great advice on how to get around and where to go. She even provided healthy and nutritious breakfast options the next morning. I would definitely stay with Sher again. "
1896134,49851773,2015-10-06,45274298,Andrew,"The bedroom and connected private bathroom were designated just for guests, so it was very similar to a bed and breakfast situation, rather than just crashing at someone's place. In fact, Sher offered me breakfast (coffee, and cereal or hot food), as well as bottles of water, and fresh towels, all complimentary, which was very kind of her.

Location is pretty good, although slightly outside the areas where you'd go to eat/drink/hangout: it's in a residential/suburban-ish neighborhood in South Austin, about a 10 minute drive from the downtown area. I rented a car so that was convenient for me, and I'd recommend having a car if you stay here, though I suppose you could take cabs or buses, but I don't know as I had a car. There was ample street parking in front of the house.

Also the house had a very lovely backyard, great for relaxing. All in all I'd say it was a very pleasant stay, a good combination of being able to stay in a peaceful comfortable place and being a short drive from the action."
1896134,50654136,2015-10-13,30442214,Mehek,"Sher was a fab host. Very responsive in booking. We came in for ACL weekend, and she went beyond expectations by providing water bottles and rain ponchos for us to take to the festival. She is definitely thoughtful and will work with you to accommodate your plans if you communicate with her. We were out most of the time, so Sher was fine with letting us do our own thing. 
Bed & breakfast style accommodations, private bathroom connected to the bedroom. Hot showers, fresh towels, soap provided. There was a large closet with lots of space, and water bottles and snacks in the room as well. Homey decor and furniture. Nice queen size bed, though the mattress is on the firm side. Everything was quite clean and cozy.
Location is pretty good, but you probably need some sort of car to get to more popular places to hang out/eat/drink or go downtown. We used Uber paired with walking, which worked well for us.
Overall, it was a lovely stay with a lovely host. Would recommend."
622030,11382923,2014-03-31,5256115,Teresa,"If you want to stay in a wonderful rental, then the Tidy Downtown Eastside Bungalow is for you!  The house was very clean and everything was new and roomy.  The host was very easy to work with and communication was almost instant.  Will definitely keep this listing in mind when I visit Austin!  Wonderful stay!!"
622030,11605155,2014-04-08,3599266,Hope,"What a perfect place to lay our heads while in Austin! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt at home. My parents came up for a visit while I was in town for a wedding, and we couldn't have had a better experience. The beds were so comfortable. The backyard was the perfect place to visit while sipping a glass of wine, and there was coffee set out for our morning cuppa. Lori was a fabulous host, and the ease of the communication made the experience all the better. I'll definitely be checking for availability next time we're in town."
622030,12590580,2014-05-05,13975104,Christina,"We had a fantastic stay at this home!  It was extremely clean and we really enjoyed it.  The backyard is a great size for hanging out.  :)  Everything that you need was there: Coffee, towels, washer/dryer, clean dishware etc. 

The owner is very sweet and responds well to any questions or concerns that you have!"
622030,13082695,2014-05-19,5587129,Cindy,"Amazing place!  Perfect location in Austin - close in but just far enough away from the Austin craziness.  Thanks for making us feel so welcome, like we were coming to hang out at our friends house... The airstream adds to the ambiance... LOL.
 Will definitely book again"
622030,13725283,2014-06-02,504376,Kristin,This property was very clean and comfortable. Private backyard and lovely furnishings with no unnecessary clutter. The beds were very comfortable and I would absolutely stay here again. Very accommodating host. 
622030,14722429,2014-06-24,11420583,Gerardo,Our stay at the Tidy eastside bugalow was very nice. Our host provided nice amenities for us to enjoy and was very communicative and gave friendly advice. Would def. love to go back sometime. 
622030,20577053,2014-10-01,18747181,Mandeep,"Lori was the best host. She made us very comfortable during our stay.  Her place is close to downtown and neighbors are extremely friendly & helpful. She went over and  beyond to make our family comfortable during our visit to Austin, TX. Beds are extremely comfortable and the cottage has all the amenities.  It was home away from home.


"
622030,21868428,2014-10-26,2199027,Norma,"We felt very welcomed to the Tidy Bungalow.  The house is clean and equipped with everything we needed.  The location is ideal, just minutes east of the capitol.  We felt safe on the little street, which is a no-outlet street so not very busy.  We especially enjoyed the side yard in the evenings!  All in all, a very nice experience."
622030,22277439,2014-11-02,8927678,Kaley,"Came down to Austin for Halloween.. really glad we stayed here!! It was close enough to downtown for a few minute, $15 uber ride, and far ebough not to be crazy overwhelmed with traffic like the central downtown area! 

The house was adorable,  and the TV projector was pretty cool as well. Very friendly neighbors, huge backyard, cool house projects going on nearby.. 

Great place to stay... highly recommend!"
622030,26640929,2015-02-16,1028355,Marsha,We stayed in Austin for a long weekend and are so glad we got to experience Loris awesome bungalow!! This was a great location and the actual house was so comfortable and nice. Really awesome concrete flooring throughout and a perfect kitchen. Don't hesitate to stay here! I will definitely be back! Thanks Lori!! :-)
622030,29235414,2015-04-05,30273103,Nicholas,"Staying at Lori's home was exactly what we were looking for.  Nice clean home that was very welcoming and comfortable.  In addition to the home being great, Lori was a great host for a newbie to Austin.  She gave great recommendations and would have helped with anything that was needed.  Enjoyed the visit and will be staying there again if/when we return to the area."
622030,29835763,2015-04-13,28008434,Jo,The home was exactly as the photo's show.  The house was clean and tidy and ready when we arrived.  Lori was very available during our entire stay (4 nights) at her property and was very attentive to our requests.  Would definitely stay at her property again if it was available.
622030,30094016,2015-04-17,24255707,Jason,"We really enjoyed our stay in Austin, covert cute house and pretty good location. We would stay there again. Thanks!"
622030,32133016,2015-05-14,1669199,Timothy,"My wife and I recently stayed at Lori's Bungalow and it was tidy and clean and overall a nice place to stay for 2 weeks.  We enjoyed staying there, but didn't utilize the entire home, we really only stuck to the main bedroom and guest bath and kitchen area.  We both work early and just like to come home and relax and the home let us do just that...
What I would say are the cons:
There was construction going on next door the entire length of our stay and the crew working there were very loud. They played loud music from 8am or earlier until they finished which was about 6pm everyday. So waking up to loud bangs, slams, and yelling wasn't very peaceful.  On the plus side though, we did call Lori about the issue and she quickly offered to speak to the Foreman.  
Also, since there weren't any rugs in either bathroom we bought some for the home and it did the trick.
There were mosquitoes everywhere. Including rollie pollies and other crawling insects that were there when we arrived and continued to come in, in numbers after and while it rained...so not really something to blame on anyone, just know you might want to wear slippers when you walk around.
Cable was sub par, but good if you have babies or little kids who like to watch the learning shows....other than than we stuck to food network or discovery channel...not having the world news channels (CNN, HLN, CNBC) was a bummer. 
Workout room was nice and well equipped, but not set up as described to workout with videos.  
Pros: Washer & Dryer are excellent and huge capacity which is awesome because you can do one load and get everything done at once! 
Kitchen is set up as described and has everything you need to cook home meals or for your caffeine fix. :)  Beautiful glassware and plenty plates and silverware.  Huge fridge and freezer and very clean overall.
Good parking.
We didn't use the front or back patio at all, but its beautiful and serene.  Perfect for families or couple.  
Great bedding and soft linen and towels.
Lori has a beautiful home and it truly was a wonderful stay, everything you need is available. Lori was very proactive about meeting our needs was always on immediate response. It was very well maintained you can see the love she puts and you will absolutely love it too! 
Neighborhood was a little sketchy is some areas, but once you get to her street you can see the closeness of the community and the neighbors seem very friendly and approachable.  You feel like you can go ""ask for a cup of sugar"" if you need it. :) Enjoy your stay, you will love it."
622030,34333417,2015-06-07,233478,Eric,"Awesome house, great host and close location to the city !"

8537986,49837506,2015-10-06,29074438,Laura,Ashley and Nick were perfect hosts. Very sweet and always available if anything was needed. They have a beautiful home with every amenity needed. I stayed here with my son for ACL and it was close to everything and anything downtown. I highly recommend them! 
6767392,45897235,2015-09-06,42801931,Kaitlyn,"Nancy is an excellent host! She is extraordinarily welcoming and accommodating- we are able to come and go as we please undisturbed; however, I find myself checking in with her when she's around because she is an absolute delight to chat with. I feel at home away from home here.
Now when it comes to the room- my boyfriend and I stayed in the S. Austin Music Room. It's awesome! Very comfortable. The bed is new, the sheets are soft, and the room is spacious- and I must mention also, the beautiful view!
I would definitely recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable stay in South Austin."
6767392,47946745,2015-09-21,44519048,Michael,"Nancy is a great host and a very interesting person. She is involved in Austin's live music scene with local musicians trying to preserve Austin's fantastic music culture. Nancy is a pioneer helping out local musician types with various social out reach and charitable  programs. 
She made me comfortable right from the start with a warm welcome and great conversation. She is very knowledgeable of Austin, State of Texas and local music scene.  She is a friendly, mother type personality.  Nancy offered me a breakfast option which I chose danish.  Nancy's house description is very accurate and she has a beautiful, clean, quite home. The neighborhood is awesome, safe and quite. Her house backs up to a nature preserve with trails for morning walking. Starbucks is a 1/2 mile walk to the main road for your coffee convenience and downtown Austin is $12-15 Uber/Lyft ride. I had a very nice stay and will refer Nancy to friends, family and other Austin travelers. "
710036,3740384,2013-03-10,1567355,Arun,"Stacie was incredible.  The place was spotless with fresh sheets, towels, the whole nine.  Perhaps more importantly were the little touches - a bottle of wine, fresh fruits and milk in the fridge for the kids, a tour of the home and being available via text.  We felt extremely well looked after and would easily stay at her home again!"
710036,10928332,2014-03-13,5284310,Brie,"Stacie was a great host, very warm and friendly.
Her home is very cosy and comfortable and set in a beautiful serene neighborhood, only 10 mins from the heart of Downtown Austin.
We were able to move quickly back and forward from her home and into the city - where we were working at SXSW. And Stacie left some delicious healthy treats to make our experience even more homie!
I woud highly recommend this wonderful restful place to stay!
"
710036,21284040,2014-10-14,4447461,Chris,"We had a wonderful time at Stacie's home in Austin.  She was a very gracious hostess leaving fresh berries, fruit, eggs and croissants in the fridge for our arrival.  The house was very clean, and she left more than enough clean towels for 6 people over 4 nights. She also left an assortment of shampoos and soaps.  Most importantly, she was available for any questions about the house or Austin!

The neighborhood was superb, on a quiet street and about a 15 minute walk to Ziker park or bars on Lemar, and a quick cab ride downtown.  Since we attended ACL, it was very nice to be so close to Ziker and all the neighbors were extremely friendly knowing we were from out of town.  

I would happily recommend Stacie and her home to anyone, and hope to stay in the house again on my next trip to Austin.

Thanks again Stacie!"
710036,49779445,2015-10-06,40529381,Dawn,"Stacie was an absolute doll.  We had a delay in arriving and she worked with us to make everything easy.  She left us snacks, wine and essentials in the frig.  The beds were very comfy and the shower was awesome.  There was plenty of parking.  We were able to walk to the ACL festival in about 15 minutes.  I would definitely recommend staying here.

They go above and beyond being a gracious host and I would encourage anyone to stay with them!

638906,3370889,2013-01-19,4256816,Liam,"It's a lovely home, in an open and safe area. Kimber and Chris are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. The local park and lake is wonderful to go and walk by. I enjoyed some good golf days with Chris (and friends) and the general location is great, in that you can walk to and from Downtown, or if you prefer, you are on a convenient bus route (No. 37). I definitely recommend staying here. You can explore Austin from here and Austin is great!"

If you're a dog person, into a healthy lifestyle, a clean, cozy & quiet place to stay then this  is the spot for you. Kimber's condo is within walking distance from the park, stores, restaurants, & just minutes from downtown. And I would definitely stay at Kimber's Austin Pet Friendly  Condo again. "
638906,8780509,2013-11-18,3504225,Jillian,My husband and I stayed with Kimber and Chris for the second time and they are such great hosts!  Super nice to chat with and they have the cutest puppies!  Highly recommend staying with them!
638906,10900112,2014-03-12,5628195,Jen,"SO GREAT! I had a funny arrival and departure time and Kimber was SO GREAT. It was an excellent place to spend time after the craziness of SXSW. Super comfy bed, easy to get a cab with the yellow cab app. Would totally stay again if I head back to Austin!

LOVE THE DOGS! One spent the night on my bed (my choice, I was enamored, she was enamored...it just happened)"

638906,21334513,2014-10-15,11525448,Mandy,"WONDERFUL!
I stayed with Kimber and Chris for two months while trying to settle down in Austin.  There just weren't anything other than perfect.  They are super loving people, their dogs are ADORABLE, house is clean and nicely decorated, and the neighborhood is very very nice.  I ran a really busy schedule and always had to come home late.  I would came home finding out that my trash been thrown and bathroom been cleaned.  This was my first Airbnb experience and they made me feel like home.  I even felt a little sad moving to my own new apartment. :)"
638906,24103339,2014-12-20,22211851,Kayla,"Kimber and Chris are such wonderful and kind people. I stayed with them in their home for 2 months while I was working temporarily at the UT. This was my first experience with airbnb and I was unsure if it would feel weird or awkward staying in someone else’s home. But Kimber and Chris immediately made me feel comfortable, safe, and totally welcome to be there. I felt at home. And their 2 dogs, Sam I Am and Mae Belle, brought me so much joy and made my experience in Austin even better! I will miss Kimber, Chris, Sam, and Mae Belle and if I come back to Austin (hopefully this summer) I will for sure stay with them again. "
638906,30971987,2015-04-30,24737263,Anna Elisabeth,"I enjoyed my stay. The creative and colorful interior made me feel comfortable and the two dachshunds ensured that I don’t feel lonely after long workdays. I loved the tiny run circle around the neighborhood, also in late hours with out a feeling of insecurity. My host supported me wherever they could to make my stay in Texas an unforgettable experience. Thank you…
"
638906,44753966,2015-08-29,16928238,Kendall,"Living with Kimber and Chris the past few months was an absolute dream! They are two of the most welcoming, friendly, and helpful people I have ever met. I can't express how grateful me and my dog are to have ended up there. Calling their home ""pet-friendly"" is an understatement. Kimber and Chris are true animal lovers and I can tell my dog already misses them! This summer was my first visit to Austin and I knew very little about the city. However, Kimber and Chris were never short of suggestions and really helped me make the most out of this summer. This was my first experience with AirBnB and it was fantastic and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I would absolutely stay here again and again! "
2967570,14101435,2014-06-11,16205455,Wing-Kit,"Crystal was a great host, super responsive and provided a great list of recommendations in the area to check out during my stay.  Apartment was in a great location, easy walking distance to East 6th."
2967570,14210904,2014-06-14,16475311,Amy,"Great spot for a new/small family - our first stay with an airB stay.  Close to downtown and not far from lots of good eats on the east side.  Great large windows to see traffic on I-35, a bit of city noise, but not enough to bother sleep."
2967570,14328523,2014-06-16,16685476,Anderson,The apartment was absolutely amazing.  Within walking distance from everything.  Located on 6th street.  The aesthetics of the property and unit were very well kept.  This unit is a must of you want to be anywhere near 6th street.  
2967570,14885272,2014-06-28,13775176,June,"What our business client had to say about this awesome Downtown Condo we booked for her when she came to Austin : Not only is this condo very well decorated (you can tell the owner put thought into the design) but it is HUGE! The king size bed is the most comfortable bed I have slept on. The view from the living room is beautiful. The kitchen is really cool and the fridge was stocked with some beer and wine (very thoughtful). There's a washer, dryer & laundry soap to get your laundry done. I stayed for a week and did not hear any street noise and slept very well. The condo is also in a super convenient area. You're on 6th street and it's a short walk downtown (maybe 5 minutes). I had no issues walking around at night to the food trucks and downtown. I will definitely book this condo again for my future trips to Austin. Highly recommended!"
2967570,14996109,2014-06-30,14515557,Thomas,Crystal was very easy to work with and a great host overall.
2967570,15114558,2014-07-02,13775176,June,"We love this place & our clients love to stay here. Easy walking distance to most everything downtown. Way better then a hotel, our client loved the washer & dryer and going home with clean clothes. The beverages in the fridge are a super nice touch. Thanks for another fabulous stay!"
2967570,15327869,2014-07-07,16045127,Shaun,"Chrystal was very accommodating, friendly and super easy to contact. The apartment is quirky and had everything we were looking for, including the location for all of the night life action. Will definitely recommend for future visitors to Austin!!! "
2967570,15419365,2014-07-08,13775176,June,"We booked this for our client who was visiting our office in Austin. Crystal was fabulous to work with, she made everything easy. Our client was able to check in with ease and had everything she needed for her stay. The location is super nice to be within walking distance of great places to eat. The bed was super comfy and our client asked if we could make sure she stays here next time she is in town! "
2967570,16351140,2014-07-26,5162383,Troy,"First off, the place is great. Modern, clean, and in a great location. What made it different from other places I've stayed at through airbnb is Crystal's personal touch in the stay. She was incredibly responsive, gave great suggestions on places to check out (we went to all 3 of her just-for-us recommendations (which were compiled and printed out just for use before we arrived) and had a wonderful time), and seemed to have a genuine interest in wanting us to have a good experience in Austin. 

We were there for a conference at the convention center, and the walk there was quick and manageable. A great place to say. "
2967570,16528944,2014-07-28,18766972,Wilson,"Crystal was an amazing host. The whole process was very simple and her instructions were easy to follow. From the moment we parked the car and poured a drink, it took less than 5 minutes. 

Her place is very spacious and well decorated. We were able to sleep four comfortably (2 on a bed, 1 on blow up mattress and another on the couch). Her location is also close to everything, it takes about a 10 minute walk to the bars/restaurants on 6th street and about 20-30 minutes to congress bridge.

Lastly, the best surprise was her ""Pay it Forward"" program where previous guests leave any extra alcohol for the next guests. After helping ourselves to some vodka, bourbon, and beer, we gladly went to the liquor store next door to restock the supplies.

For the price, location, host, and decorations, I give it 5 stars.

Great place for my first time using airbnb, will definitely stay in the same spot next time I'm in austin."
2967570,16664253,2014-07-31,11008673,Chaundra,I have nothing but positive things to say about this airbnb experience.  The   residence was even better than pictured.  Very modern and spacious.  There are multiple bars/restaurants in the area as well as great coffee shops all within walking distance.  The host was extremely helpful with recommendations and checked in with us throughout our stay.  Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
2967570,16876518,2014-08-03,17965001,Olivia,"Crystal was great. She provided us with all of the information we needed before we arrived for our vacation. The apartment was great. The location was great. The place was very nice and clean! Crystal provided a binder with tons of information about Austin. She was very helpful! We would stay here again. My boys are still talking about the views and that record player. 

"
2967570,17022573,2014-08-05,16788300,Anders,This was a very pleasant experience. The apartment was great and the location could not be better. Just a few minutes walk from 6th street but nice and quiet when you want to get away from the commotion. Crystal was an excellent host and check in/out was very smooth. She really made an effort to make us feel welcome and enjoy the city. I would definitely recommend this others.  
2967570,17081322,2014-08-06,1494046,Vanessa,Our stay at Crystal's Place was simply perfect. Crystal was quick to respond to our questions and gave us great recommendations. The apartment was clean as could be and very comfortable for all four of us.  We loved the location and would definitely stay here again :)  
2967570,17409223,2014-08-11,3671207,Andrea,"Crystal is an amazing host. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and is in a great location. We had a great time and would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to have fun in Austin."
2967570,17686212,2014-08-16,10334925,Arielle,"Awesome experience, as always! Clean, had some snacks ready, plenty of booze."
2967570,18004356,2014-08-20,16927860,Vanessa,"The location, space and the host were both fantastic. The location was great - quiet, convenient, etc. Crystal was very nice and courteous and considerate. She provides personalized recommendations based on what I told her we were interested and we got to try many of them. The condo itself was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely look into staying here again next time I am in Austin and would certainly recommend it to others. "
2967570,18311792,2014-08-25,4095765,Marnie,"First, let me say this was our first visit to Austin. We really had no idea what to do, where to go, or how to get there. Crystal went above and beyond to provide us with tailored information about restaurants, nightlife, outdoor activities, and more. In addition to her nifty welcome packet, Crystal was proactive in her communication and made us feel at ease about our upcoming trip. Moreover, she was flexible with our arrival and departure times. 

The condo itself was fantastic. We arrived a bit later than anticipated, but when we got there, the record player was on with a Frank Sinatra set playing for us. There was more than enough space for the 2 of us and had everything we needed for our stay, including a super comfy bed and trendy modern decor to boot! 

The condo is located just a couple blocks away from the 6th street action and East Austin and within walking distance of the downtown area and Rainey Street. While we did take Ubers/Lyfts to some places (South Congress, Barton Springs), that is to be expected. Overall, I'd say Austin is pretty walkable. 

I would definitely recommend Crystal's condo, especially to Austin newcomers. Thanks again for a great trip!"
2967570,18832371,2014-09-01,1316763,Ricardo,Beautiful place. Clean and comfortable. Incredibly smooth transaction and excellent hosts!
2967570,19224138,2014-09-08,7532798,Adam,"Crystal was an amazing host and her apartment is phenomenal!  She really made us feel at home by leaving us personalized recommendations on things we might want to do on our weekend in Austin.  Her restaurant/bar/activities suggestions were great, and we definitely saw parts of Austin that we never would have discovered on our own.  She was also really helpful with check-in and check-out and made the entire process seamless.

I really don't think you could find a nicer apartment in Austin.  It's walking distance to basically anywhere you'd want to go (east 6th, dirty 6th, campus, Congress bridge), and the apartment itself is gorgeous.  I loved the clean and modern feel, and the floor to ceiling windows provide a good view of the city.  If I'm ever back in Austin, I'll definitely stay here again!"
2967570,19444208,2014-09-12,20407034,Yolie,Everything was great. There was a minor a/c problem the host were very kind and accommodating as well as extremely expedient in correcting the problem. The location is great. The condo has everything you need and more. I will definitely return and recommend to another others.
2967570,19548749,2014-09-14,19306030,Cody,"I loved staying here. It's a very stylish place. The personal recommendations were great, as well as the location and everything about the apartment. Crystal was a great host and always responded very quickly. I would definitely stay here again!"
2967570,19756162,2014-09-17,21180323,Jonathan,I drove to Austin for a work convention so the fact that my car was inside a gated community with limited access was an absolute awesome feature.  The condo itself was very cool and although I didn't stay in it much I still enjoyed coming back to it after a long day.  I walked to 6th street and back which was great because I didn't have to worry about parking or paying a taxi for such a short drive.  I have to come to Austin at least once a year and I hope her condo is available each time from here on!
2967570,19824054,2014-09-19,19131407,Jeff,"The host made me feel very welcome, when I had trouble getting in the gate, her assistant raced right done to help me (and it was my own damn fault for not noting that there were two gates!). The place was clean, wonderfully decorated, had everything I needed and was a pleasure to stay in. Close to convention center and Sixth St., very happy with location. Nice booklet about procedures (check out, local hot spots, etc.). Cannot recommend more highly."
2967570,20182406,2014-09-25,11232119,Charles,"I had such a great time at the condo! 

It was well put together decorated nicely. All appliances working perfectly and I felt very comfortable . I would love to come back and stay there again. "
2967570,20332149,2014-09-28,8753617,Claudia,"Crystal's place is even better than the pictures. Roomy, yet cozy it provided my husband and I with a perfect spot to explore 6th st and downtown Austin on foot. Loved the decor, bed and couch are very comfy and in general this is a great place. Crystal is also a terrific host, she ave us tips of things to do, place to eat. Protip: There's  a taco stand across the street and they're available for breakfast tacos and late night munchis. "
2967570,20666128,2014-10-03,21530230,Natalie,This was my first experience using airbnb and it was amazing. I definitely will use it again. Crystal's place was simple and just what was needed for anyone visiting the Austin area. Good location.. 10 out of 10. 
2967570,20829457,2014-10-06,6733136,Jackie,"Everything was ready as described at Modern Oasis in Downtown.  Location was great too - close to amenities, but not so much in the thick of things that you couldn't relax.  Space was airy, open, very comfortable and clean.  Highly recommend!"
2967570,21097995,2014-10-11,20665132,Blaise,"The apartment was absolutely perfect, and Crystal was very hospitable. Loved her vinyl collection too. Would definitely rent again. "
2967570,21507484,2014-10-19,1316995,Adam,"Overall, this is a great place. The location is very close to 6th st bars and the apartment is very cool, clean, and well decorated.

Unfortunately, two smoke detectors required servicing during two nights, which required setting up a ladder in the middle of the night. Also, the hot water heater breaker was flipped off without our knowledge, and we didn't have hot water one day.

Crystal was very responsive with all our issues (within minutes, usually). Nevertheless, these issues did detract from our otherwise pleasant stay."
2967570,21661535,2014-10-21,12055574,Ericka,"We really enjoyed Crystal's condo, it was very well priced, perfect location, and she was very accommodating.   I would highly recommend this place to stay if you come to Austin!"
2967570,22064839,2014-10-29,2309334,Sarah,"We had a great night at Crystal's place. Austin is a lot of fun, and the apartment was convenient to what we were interested in. And when we returned for the night, it was a perfect place to spin a few records and relax! I recommend The Oasis to anyone visiting. It's clean, comfortable and stylish. Crystals's instructions were simple and clear. "
2967570,22135654,2014-10-31,18664357,Jim,"I highly recommend this property/host to anyone traveling to Austin.  It had every amenity promised, was very clean, and the host went out of her away to ensure a great experience for me (the restaurant/activity recommendations she made based on what i was looking for was a great touch!).

The location is ideal -- walking distance from the bar scene on 6th St, but far enough away to avoid the craziness that comes with it.
I 100% would stay here again."
2967570,22288389,2014-11-03,15428138,Hugues,"A perfect location to enjoy downtown Austin. Nested between 6th St and the up and coming E 7th area. Everything is walking distance. Noise level can be a bit high but should be expected for this type of vibrant location. Host is friendly, pro-active and left plenty of recommendations. Highly recommended!"
2967570,22519303,2014-11-09,17171012,Lynsey,"Our group was 4 ladies in their late 20's staying here for the WVU vs Texas game. It was our first time in Austin and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The location was great, walking distances to lots of bars and restaurants. We loved the condo! It was very spacious, clean, and modern. A very nice bonus was the 'pay it forward' system in which beer, wine, liquor, and food were left and available by past guests, as we also left anything unused for future guests. Our host was wonderful as well! She was readily available before and during our stay. She provided a list of things to do in the area for people staying in at the property and also made a personalized one for our group. It was great having a washer and dryer, full kitchen, balcony, and a large living area we could keep an air mattress set up in during our stay with plenty of room for hanging out still. We also had fun with the record player in the condo! We would 100% stay here on our next visit to Austin! Thanks for everything!! "
2967570,22734754,2014-11-13,6791964,Chris,"The apartment was spectacular. I would definitely stay again. It's as beautiful as the pictures. The only thing to be prepared for is that it's a little loud, but nothing that cannot be taken care of by some ear plugs. And the location is awesome close to some great new restaurants and bars. But it's a neighborhood in transition so there are some elements that can be a little unsavory. But there is a great security system and no one bothered me at all. It's just something to be aware of before you book. And Crystal was a great hostess! She even brought me a key after I lost one. And the place is well stocked for guests. "
2967570,22819683,2014-11-15,4632650,Adam,"A brilliant place to call base. Large and spacious with all the facilities you would need. It is a 5 minute Uber to just about anywhere ($5 ride) and is perfect for friends, couples and probably ideal for business trips too. "
2967570,22949626,2014-11-18,2589181,Shu,"Beautiful apt; great location, will definitely stay here again. "
2967570,23056526,2014-11-21,23640024,Edgar,Very satisfied with our stay! Crystal was very helpful and great with communication throughout our trip. Def recommend and looking forward to coming back ! 
2967570,23110603,2014-11-23,20507798,KeeRyde,"My 3 friends and I only stayed for one night and it rained a lot but we couldn't have asked for a better staying situation that Crystal's loft. The place is located very centrally and the surrounding area was safe and clean. We were within walking distance from the downtown area which was very convenient. The loft was clean and a lot of extra goodies (food and drinks) were available for us. Crystal was a great host and was easily available to assist with any issues, which we didn't have at all! Will definitely stay longer next time!"
2967570,23545949,2014-12-04,20873702,Jason,"Crystal was great, she provided a great place to stay and lots of info for what's hip in the area.  We loved the location, as it's near everything you wan to do and see in Austin.  Right on 6th street 2 blocks away from the nightlife.  Also the funky eastside is right at your doorstep, great Mex and BBQ right across the street.  B-Cycle station 1 block away. Great tortilla stir next door and a fun wine tasting place right behind you.  Parking was great and simple.  A really cool place to stay with mod setting, also it was so nice that there was cold beer in the fridge.  Thanks Cyrstal you make Austin Rock!  "
2967570,23892353,2014-12-14,8828293,Martha,"Our stay was great.  The apartment was very clean and nicely decorated with high quality linens.  The location was perfect.  Walking distance to downtown and even closer to a ton of cool bars, restaurants and food trucks on E 6th.  I would highly recommend this apt/host to anyone and would happily stay here again!"
2967570,24330512,2014-12-26,194486,Jen & Jeremy,"This loft space just east of downtown near the hippest part of Austin surpassed our expectations.  The apartment itself is amazing, with a wide open kitchen, a cool and comfortable den, and an excellent view.  The bed and bath are quite comfortable and well appointed.  The pay it forward concept provided us some good local beers and spirits, and we were happy to restock.  The location is excellent; we were able to walk out and find a good cup of coffee early on Christmas Day.  Crystal was responsive and a wonderful host.  We hope to come back."
2967570,24930614,2015-01-04,8898145,Charlotte,"Our stay at Crystal's apartment couldn't have been better. The spacious apartment is beautifully decorated, centrally located in walking distance of Rainey St. and East Austin, and full of helpful amenities like a washer/dryer, record player, extra toiletries, beers, and a list of nearby recommendations and attractions. I already want to plan my next trip to Asutin and would definitely repeat my exact experience at this airbnb!"
2967570,25445813,2015-01-16,25141231,Alexa,"Crystal's place is great- it was exactly what we were seeking. Clean, bright, very spacious. It's nice to have a parking spot. (That said, walking and uber are great in this neighborhood if you don't have a car). Crystal was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She also left us personalized recommendations for what to do during our stay which were very appreciated. Highly recommended!!"
2967570,25536812,2015-01-19,21462323,Daniella,"This was the first place I've ever stayed that I have actually unpacked in. I felt right at home and the space looked even nicer than it did in pictures. At first glance outside, it doesn't look like there's much going on, but it's in a perfect location, right at the divide of East 6th street and 6th street bars. It's also a 15 minute walk downtown. The recommendations Crystal left were great!"
2967570,25656160,2015-01-22,4264130,Lori,A Wonderful Modern Oasis Indeed! We very much enjoyed our stay! Our experience started with receiving very clear and accurate instructions for check in from Crystal. The day we got there was pouring rain so it was very helpful that there was no guess work! It is great to have a parking space downtown that is reserved and off the street. We were able to walk to several of our meetings and amazing eats! The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. The kitchen had just what we needed.. inc a hot water kettle and magic bullet blender for our morning smoothie. Crystal is very responsive and helpful if you should need anything during your stay!
2967570,25786432,2015-01-26,11027347,Andrew,"Apartment: Wonderful. It looks every bit as beautiful as it appears in the pictures. It's huge (for 2 people), clean, and very well-decorated. 
Location: The apartment is close to pretty much anywhere you would want to visit in Downtown Austin. We were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to visit in less than 30 minutes.
Host: Crystal is amazing! She provided us with personalized recommendations for to-dos in Austin, along with her self-written welcome guide that has a ton of information about the city and the condo. She is very responsive to all communication, and the check-in & check-out process could not be easier or more smooth. Since we had a late departure, we needed somewhere to keep our bags after check-out; she was very helpful in accommodating us and resolved this unique request very quickly.

If we're in Austin again, I'd definitely love to stay here again or check out another one of Crystal's properties. Thanks Crystal!"
2967570,25891985,2015-01-28,19871936,Andrew,Lovely space. Will definitely be booking next time I'm in Austin! Perfect for the mover and shaker 
2967570,27195387,2015-02-28,1580903,Bridget,"My husband and I stayed at this location for a month. The location is extraordinary, with tons of food and entertainment options in walking distance up and down 6th street. We were also right on the highway giving us quick access all over town. The best part about the unit itself was actually how comfortable the bed was! This is important when you're staying in a place for so long. Crystal was incredibly helpful and attentive during our stay and I highly recommend this place for anyone who would enjoy being at the heart of the Austin entertainment scene. "
2967570,27260584,2015-03-01,26250220,Adam,This was a great condo for a weekend stay. Close to all the downtown fun and easy to get to. The owner was extremely helpful in her directions and got back with me usually within the hour. She even left us a bottle of wine to get our weekend started! I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to visit Austin and not deal with Austin's traffic.
2967570,27572813,2015-03-08,1341014,Farra,"The apartment is as beautiful and open and funky as it looks. I loved staying there. I was both comfortable and felt like I was in a dream home. 

Crystal is a wonderful host--responding to questions quickly and with the perfect amount of detail, checking in, and leaving lots of great recommendations.

The location was perfect for the few days I was there attending a conference at the Convention Center. It was a short walk and/or cheap Uber ride for when heading back at night.

Thanks for a great visit. It was my first time in Austin and I hope to be back."
2967570,27799876,2015-03-12,18095907,Bruce,"Wow! Awesome space, clean, fun! more-than-centrally-located with great views ... Delete, delete, delete. I want to be able to stay there again!"
2967570,28067017,2015-03-17,14298727,Anand,"The space was fantastic - exactly as described, and walking distance from everywhere we wanted to go at SXSW 2015. 

Upon walking in, Crystal had a full welcome packet personalized to our (website hidden), wine, and snacks included!"
2967570,28323677,2015-03-22,13273287,Ryan,"Crystal was an incredible host. Very accommodating and adaptable to our timeline. We needed to drop our bags before checking in and asked for a slightly later checkout. She granted both of our requests with no issues. During the weekend, she was very responsive on email and the actual condo/apartment was beautiful, clean and had a great view! Perfect location too! A+++++ Highly recommended"
2967570,28487834,2015-03-24,3191978,Joshua,This place was nice. It's right on 6th street so easy access to everything downtown. The space is large and the alcoholic beverages provided was a nice touch after a long day of travel and work. The host was really responsive and friendly. I would stay here again in the future. 
2967570,28645145,2015-03-28,25609779,Ken,"I strongly recommend booking with Crystal for this property.  The location is even better than described, for example, a safe 6 block walk to Stubbs and other entertainment venues. Crystal provides helpful advice to local venues, shopping, transportation, etc.

Crystal is extremely helpful and responsive, especially to a rookie like me."
2967570,28810346,2015-03-30,16222007,Stacy,"The apartment was easy to find, the Uber driver knew exactly where the apartment complex was. Crystal gives accurate and easy directions to find her place. The place is very neat and chic. Crystal was very good as responding back to me. I needed to check in early, check out late, and also needed to have some package deliver to that address and she was very helpful in each step. I was very glad to stay at her house. The location of her house was very close to downtown. I was able to walk down the streets to experience awesome food trucks and restaurants (and also coffee & beer places). I really enjoyed staying at her place."
2967570,29019114,2015-04-02,22458274,Robin,"Another wonderful experience with AirB&B.  Crystal's huge modern oasis was exactly as she described and I felt like I stayed at the apartment of a friend.  Lots of amenities and comfort; easy to get into, and the location was prime east Austin, walk-able everywhere.  Super comfortable bed!"
2967570,29384869,2015-04-07,25942436,Christian,"We had a great time at the Condo! It is just as described, professionally run and clean. It was very spacious for two of us and I can see how four people wouldn’t fit comfortably. Crystal provided very detailed information that made checking-in easy and makes you feel welcome. She even reached out before our stay to ask whether she could provide personalized recommendations on top of the ones in the welcome pack. The neighbourhood didn’t look like much at first, but it’s in a great location in East Austin and Downtown is just a short walk away. We came to Austin for a wedding and our friends had picked two locations to meet up with the out-of-towners the two nights before the actual wedding, both of which turned out to be just a 10min walk away. We would definitely stay at the condo again."
2967570,29812298,2015-04-13,24441156,Brett,"Our trip to Austin was made so much better with this great space!  Close to the 6th Street action, right off the interstate and easy to get to.  Crystal seemed to think of everything, and was very friendly to work with.   The bed (memory foam) and couch were very comfy to sleep on!

We'll definitely be staying here next year!"
2967570,30120252,2015-04-18,23783780,Serena,"I had a great time staying at Crystal's place for a girls weekend. The apartment was lovely and perfectly appointed, and the firm king memory foam mattress was great. Crystal is a great communicator and super helpful. The apartment is located in a great place, walking distance from just about anything you might want. Uber can take care of any longer distances! Highly recommended. :)"
2967570,30455700,2015-04-22,4096512,Tyler,"My dad and I stayed at this apartment for several days as we toured around Austin and the surrounding area.  The location is ideal - just a short walk to Red River st. music venues and various restaurants / bars.  The place was clean, organized and easily accommodated the two of us during our stay.  The host is exceptionally nice and very helpful in making the place feel like a home away from home."
2967570,30752897,2015-04-27,23307702,Nina,Crystal's place was perfect. It looks exactly like the pictures and is in a great location. She gave great recommendations and all of her directions were super clear. I would definitely go back!
2967570,31007291,2015-04-30,4304105,Aaron,"We highly recommend staying in this beautiful apartment. It was extremely well equipped, it's in a fantastic location and has nice personal touches. It was a pleasure."
2967570,31185111,2015-05-03,8538703,Lindsay,My husband and I stayed at Crystal's place while we were in town for his birthday weekend. We absolutely loved it! The location was perfect - within walking distance of pretty much anything you could possibly want. Crystal was super responsive and provided a very thorough overview of all the logistics. This was one of the smoothest stays we've had with Airbnb. Crystal is incredibly organized and we would HIGHLY recommend staying at this place if you plan to visit Austin!
2967570,31464764,2015-05-05,8059154,Matthew,"great apartment, so clean and comfortable. Really easy to get anywhere. Easy check in and out. Would definitely stay again."
2967570,31614904,2015-05-07,32369518,Mirra,"Crystal is an excellent host and the apartment is fantastic. The apartment is spacious, modern and extremely well-located. Private parking is a huge plus as well. Most importantly, the apartment was perfectly clean and well-stocked with thoughtful supplies tailored to meet the needs of travelers -- just as a high end hotel would be. Crystal herself was extremely responsive to questions. A lovely and easy place to stay -- thanks Crystal!"
2967570,31868967,2015-05-11,9760751,Britt,"Crystal was very communicative and welcoming before, during, and after our stay. We had some questions once we got there about parking and things like that because we had a change of plans. Crystal texted back right away so our night went smoothly even though we initially didn't think we needed a parking space. She made great recommendations for places to eat as we requested some vegetarian sorts of restaurants, and I think she probably could give great recommendations about anything in that area. We already had a packed itinerary but if you didn't know what to do or where to go, Crystal could probably give you great suggestions.
The place itself was perfect for what we wanted....close to 6th street and public transportation that we needed for our visit. We had some friends try to lure us away to another location with a nice hilltop view, but the little balcony and city view from Crystal's place was perfect for us. The decor is chic and cool, and it had all the modern conveniences we wanted most; if we had a longer stay in that area I would really recommend this place because the shower, kitchen, etc. were all awesome and you can just walk to all the hip bars and venues in the area. We really liked the suggestion to leave behind extra drinks for guests-it was a cool way to sample new things and also not waste what we couldn't get through ourselves during our short stay. We really loved our stay at Crystal's Modern Oasis and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cool condo vibe in downtown Austin."
2967570,32244888,2015-05-16,25968945,Sara,"Great modern apartment, right in the middle of all the fun on sixth! For about 10 blocks to the right AND left of the house the street is lined with restaurants, shops and bars. This apartment is very centrally located in the middle of all the fun....tons of stuff within walking distance!

Apartment complex is modern, gated, and comes with parking if you're driving....


The apartment itself is very modern, stylish and has a great view of the city which you can see via a wall made entirely of windows. Also a great balcony should you want to get some air.

The bedroom was comfortable and clean, with tons of closet space, extra down comforter n several extra pillows. The bed was comfty and roomy.

The bathroom and kitchen were clean and very modern. The kitchen had all the basics for cooking, which was great since we cooked quite a bit while we were there, and the dishwasher made it easy to clean up. Plenty of utensils, plateware, and kitchen necessities, including a nutribullet  which I was stoked about and an electric tea kettle.

The living room was clean, modern and comfortable, and the flat screen smart tv was great for down time. The apartment also came with a record player and comes stocked with various LPs.

The air conditioner worked perfectly, saving us from the Texas heat.

The host was friendly and helpful,  available and immediately responsive to all of our questions, and ready with recommendations too!

Would highly recommend this apartment, made it really easy to have a rad time in Austin!!!!!"
2967570,32438472,2015-05-17,26447204,Matt,"I loved the location, the apartment and the host! It was all great, super clean and great communication about the flat and the town. Crystal was a brilliant host!"
2967570,32693404,2015-05-20,30860871,Steve,"Great apartment a short walk from the convention center.  Very clean and comfortable with many thoughtful details.  Comfy bed with plenty of space and all the basics covered in the kitchen.   Check in and check out were very convenient.  Great host, great experience!"
2967570,32960736,2015-05-24,7873275,Kelly,"Our first Airbnb experience was great. The location was perfect. Crystal's recommendations were excellent. The condo was modern and clean. The TV didn't work but Crystal did everything possible to get it working. When the cable company told us we would need to replace the box, Crystal credited our bill $50 and recommended local sports bars where we could watch tv. We've found a great place to stay when we travel to Austin to visit our daughter. "
2967570,33203114,2015-05-25,33865368,Caitlin,"Our stay in the modern oasis was exactly what we needed for one night in Austin. The location was perfect to get to the bars on 6th street, and the place itself was extremely clean and welcoming. The pictures are exactly what you see walking in!"
2967570,33354339,2015-05-27,5049979,Lindsay,"We loved this loft!!!  Great space, great location, great host!  The loft was fantastic and exactly as described.  The location was perfect with an easy, quick walk to one of the most popular streets full of bars and restaurants.  

The bed was comfortable, there were some drinks provided and we really enjoyed listening to big band music on the record player.  

Not a single negative to this rental, would definitely choose to stay here again!"
2967570,33899831,2015-06-02,2701884,Tiara,"This place and Crystal were AWESOME! The apartment looks exactly as it does in the photo.   Crystal was so nice, accommodating, patient, and insightful.  When my sister and I visited, it was shortly after the floods in Austin. Crystal kept us informed the days leading up to our trip. Our flight got in pretty early Friday and Crystal allowed us to store our bags while we did some exploring before check in.  She gave us many great suggestions about what to do around the city for every type mood.  Also, the location of the apartment was so centrally located, we could walk to everything. It is close enough to 'dirty 6"" to walk but far enough to not have to deal with the foolery. Anything not in walking distance was a $5 Uber ride.  All in all, it was a great trip, a great apartment, and Crystal was a GREAT host! I will definitely book with her again!"
2967570,34425188,2015-06-08,31089007,Ami,"This beautiful, clean, centrally located condo was a lovely choice for my first trip to Austin. I would definitely book here again! The king bed is a dream! "
2967570,34987108,2015-06-14,33694987,Cristal,"Would stay again and recommend to friends. Fantastic view, accessible location, and cozy. "
2967570,35995866,2015-06-24,16398944,Valerie,"We had a really nice stay at the loft. The loft was as described and comfortable. It is walking distance to downtown, and we felt safe in the loft. Instructions were clear and there were plenty of amenities. I felt that the floors could have been a bit cleaner, since we were asked to take our shoes off. I would recommend bringing slippers so you don't have to go barefoot. "
2967570,36328676,2015-06-27,17207106,Neel,"We loved the apartment! Crystal was super welcoming! She provided us with a great list of places to explore in Austin before we even got there. She was also super flexible and let us drop our stuff off at the apartment since our flight got into Austin before check in time. The apartment was amazing. It has great views and is easily accessible. Its in the perfect place, with divey East Austin on one side, and 6th street on the other. There's so much great food located close by as well. It was extremely clean, and well kept and a great place to stay while exploring Austin. It was pretty much walking distance to almost everything in Austin which was a huge plus! Thanks so much Crystal! "
2967570,36395793,2015-06-28,19047293,Phil,The place was wonderful! Cool trendy spot in the perfect location! Crystal was very helpful and great to work with. Would recommend this place to anyone! Thanks again Crystal! 
2967570,37699716,2015-07-09,26872921,Zeke,Great location and lots of cool new places popping up around the condo. Everything was super easy and obviously planned for in advance. Loved all the natural light and the super easy commute to everything Austin. Crystal could not have been a better host!
2967570,38080332,2015-07-12,2360417,Sonia,"Crystal's modern Oasis was a definite highlight to our trip to Austin. Even prior to booking this place, her communication was excellent. The views are wonderful, the bed is super comfortable, and what a great idea to leave what you can't consume for others. The location was ideal and a great starting point for our evening. Not to far from Rainey street! (If you haven't checked out bangers, do it!!) We had some friends who met us at the condo, and raved that our airbnb was definitely more appealing than theirs! We all began our walk to 5th street directly from the condo, as it sits directly across from 35 and since there were quite a few groups walking, we felt completely safe. At the end of our evening we took a motorized open cab ride, and they knew exactly where we were going. Highly recommend the location, and Crystal. "
2967570,38644617,2015-07-17,37362098,Geraldine,"She provided a nice welcome package and a bottle of wine, we were so impressed how personal and helpful she was through our stay. The location was quite but still in walking distance to 6 th street and the whole down town area. from the pictures to location, she was honest and very accurate, many hotels will say they are two blocks away from attraction when in truth they are 2 miles! Perfect prime location!! "
2967570,40315596,2015-07-30,31907923,Michael,"For our first visit to Austin, Crystal has quick to respond, provide a great list of places to explore while in Austin, and answer any questions we had. The place was perfect for us, close to downtown, and in walking distance to many of the places we wanted to visit. We will definitely reach out to Crystal again the next time we're in town. "
2967570,41255719,2015-08-05,38915249,Andrew,Cant speak highly enough of Crystal and her modern condo! Communication throughout was excellent and super quick. The decor and location of this flat was second to none - only wished we'd have stayed for longer! Will definitely stay here again if we return to Austin.
2967570,41740506,2015-08-09,31896537,Eric,"Very responsive to inquiries, very workable with our schedule. Place was as described, fantastically accommodating, and rather conveniently located relative to the convention area. Would happily recommend!"
2967570,43614009,2015-08-21,19131407,Jeff,"Great condo, 2nd time staying here. So close to 6th st. and convention center. The unit has a great vibe, clean, roomy, comfortable, just a great spot. Cannot recommend highly enough. And Crystal provides free beer - you can't beat that?"
2967570,45372737,2015-09-02,324928,Eric,"We had an excellent time in Austin and the condo was the perfect spot to come home to. Crystal was very accommodating. We arrived prior to the scheduled check in time and we were able to drop our bags off. The condo is beautiful. Modern and spacious. An excellent location as well - short walk to downtown and surrounded by amazing restaurants, shops, cafes, and bars. Thank you for an awesome stay!"
2967570,45646739,2015-09-04,36784529,Alexander,"Wonderful apartment in an amazing location. Happy with everything from my stay and Crystal was great, very accommodating to my late booking and very helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
2967570,45797634,2015-09-06,18467790,Vincent,This is an excellent condo in a perfect location in Austin.  The natural light in the room is refreshing and the record player is a nice touch.  Crystal was very accommodating and pleasant during our communication.  I highly recommend this spot!
2967570,46111603,2015-09-08,22893984,Alice,"Great condo in a great location with all the equipment you could need, right on 6th street with easy access to all parts of Austin. There is also a b cycle station one block away which makes getting around very easy.

I couldn't recommend staying here enough and Crystal is a great host. She provided us with brilliant personalised recommendations that really made our trip! 

There is a brilliant taco truck opposite the condo which did amazing breakfast tacos also!"
2967570,46737280,2015-09-13,29950087,Lauren,"Crystal was an amazing host! We had all the information we needed to make our stay in Austin memorable and smooth. The apartment was very, stylish, clean, spacious and in a great location. I would totally book this condo with Crystal again. "
2967570,47149817,2015-09-16,16901987,Alice,"This was a fantastic listing - we loved staying here. The apartment is in a great location - a block to the B-cycle Station which we used to cycle round the city and to Barton Springs. Also close to a great coffee spot, Brew & Brew which we went to once, twice a day. We would  definitely stay here (website hidden) - it's also within walking distance to Franklin BBQ."
2967570,47373402,2015-09-18,4001721,Deborah,"What a great loft! I walked into a bottle of wine and welcome binder. The photos are an EXACT representation of loft, except they have a new, grey, fun fuzzy rug instead of the geometric rug represented. (I'm not mad at that. :)) The loft is immaculate and very comfortable. The area is up and coming (think Silver Lake, Echo Park in L.A.) and and two blocks away is a dining, cocktail paradise. If you want to be close to the action and come home to a true oasis, this wonderful loft is for you. Crystal was fantastic, great communication and just lovely to deal with. I would stay here again in an instant."
2967570,47624104,2015-09-21,33399017,Ricco,"What can I say.. Great place, great location, great owner, great price.  The loft is easily as nice as the pictures.  Crystal left a binder with a list of dining options, things to see, etc...  There was also a complimentary 6-pack in the fridge!  We couldn't have asked for a better AirBnB experience.  I would definitely stay here again if I make it back to Austin. "
2967570,48470204,2015-09-26,44707226,Tennessee,"Crystal kept in great contact with us, and her directions were so clear and helpful!"
2967570,49091928,2015-10-01,29396859,Sinead,"What an amazing stay we had at Crystal's loft apartment. It's in a great location for both the madness of 6th St and the laid back vibes of east Austin. Safe off road parking, excellent wifi and an incredibly comfortable bed and sofa made it feel like a home from home. Crystal left us a welcome package which was much appreciated and the condo really does have everything you could possibly need for your stay. The photographs on the listing are 100% accurate. We can't wait to make a return visit. "
2967570,49324490,2015-10-03,5834737,Perry,"Crystal and her place were fantastic. We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The location is the best (ok, so we are former Austin East Siders and have always loved this part of town)-- but really the view and access to some great places for food and drinks really is unbeatable. Super easy access to airport and I-35. The apartment is clean and bright and very well organized. We loved the turntable and albums Crystal had there too. "
2967570,49894417,2015-10-07,4630302,Pearl,"The location and home couldn't have been better. Restaurants, bars and food trucks all within walking distance, plus easy drive or long walk to downtown. The parking spot was a huge bonus. Clean, spacious and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on too! Will definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin."
2967570,50085399,2015-10-09,17264167,Tyler,Had a great time in Austin! Apartment was clean and orderly. Close walk to all the good bars and food spots
2967570,50428592,2015-10-12,29506019,Tony,Crystal was a awesome host. Quick at responding for any questions I had. The condo was exactly how it was described from the post. The taco place across from the condo is amazing and convenient. Especially from a night out on 6th street. Must try the pueblo taco! I definitely recommend this place if you have a group of 6 or less. 
2967570,50810868,2015-10-14,46085750,Christopher,Crystal was a great host and very helpful.  She was quick to respond to any inquiries.  The condo exceeded expectations and was very nice and clean.  Great location.  I highly recommend this condo!

2967570,51747923,2015-10-24,44601526,John,"Magnificent locale for staying in downtown Austin.  Close to all the key interest points that one could want to hit (convention center, east 6th, dirty 6th, etc...)  The condo was very clean, plenty of room and the Bluetooth soundbar was a great touch to play some music while enjoying the view out of the ceiling to floor windows.  Crystal was very accommodating as well, was easy checking in, instructions were clear and not confusing in the least and there is a helpful booklet for guests including check in/check out instructions as well as how things in the condo work and points of interest around town.  All in all it was a great stay and I can't wait to come back again for my next trip to Austin."
2967570,51952211,2015-10-25,38540213,Melissa,"Crystal's home does not disappoint! The photographs are 100% accurate, staying in a trendy loft space with tons of room and an outdoor patio. Some bonuses, the home comes equipped with a sound bar to play music & Hulu and Netflix to wind down the day. Crystal went above and beyond with recommendations (Brew and Brew down the street was a favorite! And there is a conveniently located, little grocery store on the corner that we stocked up at) and accommodating check in and check out times. She is an excellent communicator and always available to answering any and all questions promptly.  We felt very much at home in the condo and hated to have to leave! We will definitely be going back on our next trip to Austin to enjoy the amenities & proximity to everything in Austin (no drive was more than 10 minutes away from the condo). Thank you for such a warm, welcoming experience!"
2967570,52329552,2015-10-28,44442045,Frederic,I arrived in Austin on Monday for a conference and couldn't have stayed at a better place.  The condo was exactly as described.

The host was extremely helpful and speedy to respond to any request! The area is perfect, very close to Zilker Park and a short commute to the downtown area. I totally recommend staying here. "
3820731,26621343,2015-02-16,3433759,Virginia,"We stayed 4 nights and were very satisfied with the accommodations. Great location, quiet and convenient for exploring Austin. Owner very prompt with response to questions. Would definitely recommend. "
3820731,28864018,2015-03-31,5357063,Richard,"Our stay was all we had hope for and more. The Zilker neighborhood is a great location for fun restaurants and biking along the river. It is an easy bike ride into the city too. The house had everything we wanted - comfortable beds, good water pressure, quiet neighborhood and great location. Austin was a friendly responsive host and we look forward to returning.  "
3820731,29238733,2015-04-05,105507,Rosalina,"We had a wonderful stay at Austin's Place, the apartment was extremely clean and well decorated, the beds were confortable and we love the space. It looks exactly as the pictures on the listing (or even better)

Location was a great deal, very close from everywhere we wanted to go, having Zilker park just a few minutes away was a good scape for us to enjoy the city and a nice walk in nature.

Our communication with Austin was precise and always on time. We definitely consider this place to stay in our next stop to Austin.

"
3820731,46595869,2015-09-12,35505967,Brendan,"Best neighborhood in Austin- great house- we stayed for a month, and it was perfect.  Highly recommended.  Austin- the host- was very responsive to our requests for information.  "
3820731,48601136,2015-09-27,44023474,Heather,"Austin was very accommodating to us, providing an additional inflatable mattress for us.

3820731,51854250,2015-10-24,46944847,Jordana,This is a lovely place to stay when in Austin. The kitchen has everything you would need to make this a home away from home. Its clean and nicely furnished. The Zilker Park area is perfectly located to many attractions in Austin. The owner (Austin) was attentive and answered all my questions quickly. I felt well taken care of and would certainly stay in this place again.
3820731,52085974,2015-10-26,41370593,Jeremiah,Had a great stay in the 2bd bungalow. Plenty of space (even bigger than the photos show) with plenty of space for 2 couples. Bungalow is in a great location close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Can definitely recommend!
4174180,21670976,2014-10-21,4897569,Jessica,"My husband and I had an awesome time in Austin! Sarah's private apartment was exactly how she described. I really appreciated her quick responses and availability if we ever needed anything during our stay. When arriving we found delicious Texas beer in the refrigerator which was a perfect touch after traveling most of the day.  Sarah's unit is located in a great location- 10 minute walk to Rainey Street (which turned into my husband and I's favorite spot), easily walkable to 6th street and downtown, but luckily we used the B-cycles which are conveniently located in almost every section of the city you would want to go! Our highlighted perks of our Austin trip included: Barton Springs, browsing the shops located in South Congress, eating unique food at Qui, stumbling upon The Liberty (where every Saturday a University of Texas game is playing they have local restaurants cater for a ticketed price of one beer and shot). We happen to arrive on the night of Franklin's BBQ (which is typically a three hour wait in line), we spoke with Franklin himself and asked for other food recommendations and wrote a list for us that we followed the rest of the weekend! Anybody looking for a quiet neighborhood close to Austin's hot spots, I would definitely contact Sarah ASAP! "
4174180,22032512,2014-10-28,5429138,Ben,"Sarah (and husband) were very welcoming. They sent useful reminders and precise instructions on how to get to their place from airport. They also checked-in intermittently by text to make sure everything was going well.

The place was great - exactly as depicted in the photos. Newly renovated, clean, nice decor. The location was perfect for my needs - easy access to the conference center, but more importantly, easier access to great food, drink and culture in East Austin.

Would definitely stay there again."
4174180,22127431,2014-10-30,1866763,Read,"I had the best time at Sarah's private apartment in East Austin. The place was super clean, fresh, and tastefully decorated. The bed was super comfy. The little patio was set up with chairs and a bench and great for hanging out in with a glass of wine. Loved the extra touch of snacks, coffee, and Texas beer! Sarah was communicative, texting to see if all was well but not to intrude. The area she lives in is awesome, lots of restaurants, bars, and cafes in walking distance. I would highly recommend and plan on staying here as often as I can. 
"
4174180,23151965,2014-11-24,5550101,Cristina & Jon,"Sarah and Erwin were amazing hosts. Sarah even offered and supplied us baby equipment before we arrived when we told her we would be bringing our little four month old. Communication with Sarah pre-stay and during our stay, was excellent.

The location of this apartment was exactly where we were looking at properties to hopefully move to in East Austin. It's in a great neighborhood within walking to the station, bus lines, farmers market, and restaurants. 

Their neighbors are also very friendly and willing to give you advice on the area. If you wanted to you can easily walk into downtown from this location as I did on a couple occasions. 

The apartment itself is newly remodeled, very clean, well decorated, and private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend staying with these gracious hosts. "
4174180,23465020,2014-12-01,5680752,Han,"House was clean, very roomy for three of us, and looked just as nice as the photos. Bed, air mattress and couch were all comfy for sleeping. Very close to everything Austin has to offer...we walked some,  used Uber, and drove.

Sarah and her family were out of town but Sarah was always available. She was extremely flexible/accommodating when I had to make changes to the reservation. 

Was glad to meet Sarah and her family when our flight got canceled...She was as sweet in person as she had been through texts. So happy to get to spend a few extra hours in Austin at Sarah's!

We enjoyed our stay and all of us would recommend staying at Sarah's.
"
4174180,23824262,2014-12-11,3579679,Dana,"The greatest place to stay!
Warm, cozy, loaded with all the amenities you'd want, and so close to everything possible.

A great value for what's in the area, knowing as I also rented a place a block away."
4174180,23868048,2014-12-13,9736643,Abby,"Sarah was a great host and super responsive! The place was quiet, clean, and spacious. I would definitely recommend to someone else making an Austin visit! "
4174180,24065110,2014-12-18,7938828,William,Awesome spot in a great part of Austin. 
4174180,24277268,2014-12-24,23584964,Kelly,"Sarah was very helpful and quick to reply. The accommodations were exactly as they were listed, and as cozy as could be. We had a great time!"
4174180,24592873,2014-12-31,1615843,Kendra,"Although we didn't get to meet Sarah, the place was perfect - quiet, clean, and a great restful spot during our Austin trip. Couldn't have asked for anything more!"
4174180,24862152,2015-01-03,17309238,Don,"In a fantastic location and with a terrific host, we thoroughly enjoyed our four day stay in this immaculate, neatly modern, and very thoughtfully appointed home. The neighborhood, an older one with smaller homes, is ideally situated just off 1st street a few blocks from I-35 and downtown Austin. It is also pleasant and surprisingly quiet, an altogether relaxing atmosphere mere minutes from the boisterous city. Sarah responded to any and all questions instantly, was consistently helpful, and prepared a lengthy, well-researched guidebook. The accommodations, which looked to have been recently remodeled, were comfortably spacious for two. A family of four would have little trouble, although two couples would have to negotiate one bathroom and one bedroom. Nevertheless, the living room is quite large and equipped with apple TV, netflix, and wifi for entertainment. The adjacent kitchen is fully equipped for nearly any cooking one might want to do with a gas stove, and Sarah had generously stocked the refrigerator with sparkling water, yogurt for breakfast, and an assortment of Shiner--a favorite Texas beer. There is also a full-sized washer and dryer for laundry needs. Furnishings seemed brand-new and well-chosen for comfort without clutter. Clearly, Sarah has put a great deal of thought and care into decor, functionality, and comfort. If her goal was to manage an extremely clean, brightly lit, and delightfully designed home with the highest degree of professionalism, then she has succeeded admirably. On our next visit to Austin we will look to stay at Sarah's place again: We recommend it highly and without any hesitation whatsoever."
4174180,25707314,2015-01-24,15198015,Jessica,"This apartment is fantastic!  I stayed there for nearly a month and couldn't have found a better place.  Sarah and her family were very welcoming.  The neighborhood is very convenient for getting downtown (walk or $4 uber ride) and there are a lot of things within walking distance.  Plus, the park by the lake is really close and nice to walk or jog in.  The space is great and equipped with everything you need to live there.  "
4174180,26435407,2015-02-12,7833803,Mr&Mrs.,"Sarah was a great host. I enjoyed my stay here. The location is great, the house is clean and comfortable and met all of my needs. Highly recommended."
4174180,26774977,2015-02-19,9289762,Tyler,"Coming from Portland, we had heard Austin was very similar. We couldn't believe how similar when driving up to Sarah's house. It was like being in our own neighborhood, but with cacti! She was there to to greet us and made us feel so welcome. 
My boyfriend and I were in town for the marathon, and Sarah's place was the perfect spot to be able to cook, veg out when we needed to, and feel rested for our race. The location made it even easier to enjoy Austin in the couple of days after the race. 
Thank you, Sarah!"
4174180,27126988,2015-02-26,7115215,Dan,"Sarah was a fantastically accommodating host, from the quick responses and easy communication down to the details (TopoChico in the fridge is always a nice touch). If you're into the East Side fun, it's also a quick walk to great cafes, bars, and restaurants. I'd definitely recommend her spot to Austin newbies and vers alike. "
4174180,27466498,2015-03-05,20851860,Bradford,"I visited Austin for a conference with my girlfriend. We had an amazing stay at Sarah's place. It was easy to find, ample parking and very close to downtown. The apartment was extremely clean, bright and comfortable. Sarah did an awesome job of getting us settled and making sure our departure was smooth. It was everything we wanted. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks Sarah!"
4174180,27670509,2015-03-09,2070028,Ezio,"Sarah's place was just perfect for our four day trip in Austin.  Location could not be better, with many great places to eat and drink just a short walk away.  The guest cottage was clean, comfortable, generously stocked with some local beverages, and had a shower with great pressure!  We were fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Sarah and her husband one morning; lovely folks with a lot of good knowledge of where to eat, drink, or take a walk.  Don't forget to smell the beautiful ""grape soda"" tree and the end of the drive!"
4174180,27784666,2015-03-11,28872569,Rebecca,"Although I was only there one night, I had a great time at Sarah’s guesthouse in East Austin. The location was fabulous, within walking distance to cool Austin cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as the Lake hiking trail. The apartment was clean and comfortable, fully equipped with kitchen utensils and a washer/dryer! Additionally, Sarah thoughtfully stocked the pantry with yogurt, peanut butter pretzels, sparkling water, and local beer. What else could anyone want? I highly recommend this place for a great stay in Austin.

Thank you!
"
4174180,28301798,2015-03-22,1037388,Shelley,"One of the best airbnb places i have stayed. Very well looked after house, great location. 
Sarah was an excellent host. Would stay there again anytime. "
4174180,28713726,2015-03-29,3855095,Tyler,The coach house was great and in a nice neighborhood. There were good places to eat and drink within a short walk. Also the bike sharing station was only about 3 blocks away.  We would definitely recommend this place to others.
4174180,28997631,2015-04-02,26305566,Jessica,"Sarah's home in Austin is very inviting. My 2 friends and I stayed there for a 4 day spring break adventure. The guesthouse was clean and perfect for 3 people. Sarah provided great suggestions to make our trip awesome. 

Sarah's home is walking distance to several attractions; however, we did utilize Uber to get to the notorious 6th street and the shops on Congress. Since the weather was awesome while we were there, we spent several days at Zilker Park (paddle boarding, picnicking, etc...), but it's a bit of a hike from Sarah's house. Renting bikes is a great alternative to getting around, but careful if you rent B-Bikes--they need to be returned every 30 minutes (even with a 24 hour rental pass). 

Some of our favorite dining places within walking distance from Sarah's were Cenote/ JuJu Juices and Yellow Jacket Social Club. You will not be short of fun things to do and see while you stay here! 

Thanks so much, Sarah! "
4174180,29383478,2015-04-07,1047221,Xavier,"Great place in a great location! Close to downtown, the river trail and great restaurants. Nice and clean with lots of space and a big kitchen. Sarah was a warm and welcoming host. She left beers in the fridge for us and gave us have a very late checkout as our flight was at 6. We will be back! "
4174180,29827704,2015-04-13,12416114,John,Sarah was super helpful and attentive. She and her family were out of town during our stay - but the place looked good and was ready for our arrival. There were even outside lights on so we could easily make our way to the unit after the sun went down. The space is cute and clean and in a really great little neighborhood that we enjoyed walking around and looking at the diverse housing. We could actually walk to and from Rainey Street if we wanted - but if we didn't it was a short and cheap ($6) Uber to Rainey or E. 6th.  We could walk to grab breakfast and coffee in the morning - and could even walk to a park and the river if you wanted. We even discovered one of the infamous Austin Moontowers - just East of Sarah's place. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!
4174180,30291797,2015-04-20,27903106,Julee,"Amazing location.  Easy to walk to so many things.  Best places were Craft Pride, Via 313, Bangers and anywhere downtown.  This home was described accurately and was a great place to stay.  Make sure to take great walking shoes and an umbrella just in case of rain.  Contacting Sarah was very easy.....we texted, when we arrived and a couple of times during our stay.  Very responsive and helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing this space with us."
4174180,30526152,2015-04-23,12131626,Deborah,"Smack Dab....is a perfect name for this lovely simple, clean, very comfortably furnished-with-kitchen airbnb. Austin is within walking distance, the airport is a 15 minute car ride, and access to I35 is a couple of blocks away. The neighborhood is active during the day, quiet at night. Sarah provided everything I needed, including kitchenware, coffee tea and condiments. The bed is great!"
4174180,30755596,2015-04-27,4352133,Megan,"We had a wonderful stay at Sarah's place in Austin. The apartment was adorable, clean and cozy. We especially appreciated the beer and pretzels!  Sarah answered all our questions and gave great recommendations for food in the neighborhood. I'd definitely recommend this place and host to travelers headed to Austin."
4174180,32542093,2015-05-19,31242504,Karen,"Sarah was an excellent host and the guest house was absolutely perfect for our needs! We arrived late in the evening, easily found street parking, and was welcomed into a large, very clean space with beer in the fridge! The bedroom was spacious, clean and very comfortable. We walked to La Barbecue down the street for some delicious brisket without the 5 hour wait for Franklins. Downtown was also within walking distance, so the location worked out really well for us. The unit has a laundry machine and dryer which was a huge help since we were driving across country and needed to freshen up our clothing. We would suggest doing laundry while you are awake because it can be a bit loud...but nothing worth complaining about. 

We would definitely return for a visit in the future and highly recommend Sarah's home! "
4174180,32968168,2015-05-24,16443283,Callan,"We LOVED our visit to Austin and Sarah's cute, cozy space. This little rental is located behind her house in East Austin and was very clean and decorated nicely (Ikea chic), 2 rooms (bedroom and living/kitchen area). There was a spare Aerobed in the closet but we didn't use it since there were two of us. Comfy bed and lots of extra linens available. Also really appreciated the Topo Chico and Shiner in the fridge!

Sarah was really easy to communicate with and we found the house without a problem - we arrived late in the evening but it was easy to get in with the coded keyless entry. I've lived in Austin before and East Austin is my favorite neighborhood - it was so fun to be within walking distance to our favorite spots (Yellow Jacket, Shangri-La, Eastside King, Eastside Showroom, etc.). We were visiting while on a cross-country road trip and really appreciated being able to wash clothes in the washer/dryer. Overall a great stay. We'll be back!"
4174180,33249405,2015-05-26,2886418,Will,"Sarah's place feels quite and tucked away but is in an excellent location for all of East Austin's many destinations. Downtown is also a short walk away. Wonderful, modern, clean space (with some Lone Stars and snacks to boot!). Sarah was very responsive and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here. "
4174180,33749772,2015-05-31,6855221,Tommy,"This place was perfect for our family. Awesome location, clean and has a washer drier. Really couldn't believe how at home we felt. Sarah responded to our questions within minutes. Her and the guesthouse made our Austin trip a real pleasure. "
4174180,34138225,2015-06-05,9888308,Christopher,"If you are looking for the perfect crash pad in East Austin Sarah has you covered. Super communicative and friendly without ever compromising personal space, you can tell Sarah is a natural host. The space is immaculately clean and well appointed with washer/dryer (which is a plus for people like us who excercise every morning outside). The fridge had local beer and Topos in it when we arrived (nice touch and thank you).

 A couple of notes: 

This is a perfect spot for a couple of people or small family that is interested in being active around town and only using the space to clean up in between coming and going and sleeping at night, I wouldn't recommend this as a great spot to hang out or try and entertain even the smallest of groups. While the apartment is comfortable and accommodating, the bathroom is quite small (even for two), and the backyard, although off limits to guests (absolutely understandable and no problem), is utilized by Sarah's family/children and can mean drawn shades in the apt. for privacy. I would also recommend a car in this neighborhood. Although East Austin has grown up over the years with trendy nightlife now close by this apt., to take advantage of what the entire city has to offer, you need your own wheels (especially when it's hot; see spring/summer/fall). The best of this town is still spread all over. "
4174180,34447811,2015-06-08,7222501,Angela,"This was our first time using Air BNB and it was an enjoyable experience. Leading up to the visit, Sara was very communicative and laid out all of the information we needed. When we arrived, we were so pleased with the accommodations. The house was  so cute and clean and was exactly as described in the listing. Sarah even left us a snack and some beer and drinks the in the fridge. The location is in walking distance to a few really great restaurants and within a 10 min block to Rainey street.  Everything else downtown was less than a 5 dollar cab ride. It was a really great! "
4174180,34899103,2015-06-13,3263559,Rachel,"Sarah's apt was just perfect for my short stay in Austin. It was clean, tidy, and very comfortable. Sarah was so easy to be in touch with and very accommodating (even allowing me to leave my bag after check-out to pick up later). The area is fantastic - close to great street art and funky neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops. I loved Cenote for both coffee and food - and it's just a five minute walk away. If you are a runner, the river trail is just a few minutes away and fantastic for long walks or runs. I'd highly recommend this apt and Sarah was a delightful host!"
4174180,35236320,2015-06-16,24770091,Therese,"I had a great stay at Sarah's place! The guesthouse is adorable and had everything we needed for a girls weekend in Austin. The place is located in a residential area, but is only a 10-15 minute walk or short Uber ride to downtown. Sarah was a wonderful host and answered all my emails and questions right away. I will certainly stay here again if I'm back in Austin and highly recommend Sarah's guesthouse."
4174180,35725166,2015-06-21,35525438,Kelly,"Great space, excellent condition, had everything we needed, Sarah was super helpful and responsive. Would definitely book again and recommend to others."
4174180,36603751,2015-06-29,30438163,Angela,"Sarah's place was just as advertised! Quite neighborhood, very centrally located and she had some great recommendations for local restaurants and hot spots."
4174180,38140383,2015-07-13,20824498,Matt,"We had a great stay at Sarah's place. Awesome neighborhood that is walking distance to all of the great places you want to go in Austin (ie East Austin restaurants, Rainey Street, downtown, walking path along the river, etc). 

The actual unit was just as advertised. Nice, very clean, well air conditioned, and larger than other reviews made it sound. We met Sarah and she was very welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend the apartment."
4174180,39085205,2015-07-20,18975691,Erin,"Sarah was very welcoming! She checked in with us via text throughout our stay. It was exactly the kind of thing we were looking for, for our busy trip. The house was clean and well maintained. We were concerned a bit about the single living room wall a/c unit, but it cooled the house efficiently in the heat of July."
4174180,40110214,2015-07-28,35611143,Alexandra,"Arriving to the air conditioning being on was much appreciated as it was quite a hot day. The cold sodas left in the fridge were a nice touch as well. The property was as described and in a very accessible and central location, notwithstanding the neighborhood is still up and coming. Additionally, the washer and dryer were handy to have. For when we weren't out exploring Austin, it was great to be able to kick back on the couch with Netflix. The only negative would be that although it provides adequate cooling, the air conditioning unit isn't in the bedroom and the temperature in the bedroom relies on circulation of cool air from ceiling fans. "
4174180,41506386,2015-08-07,40051291,Paige,"Staying here was great!! I live in Austin and just needed somewhere to stay while waiting to move in to my new apartment. Sarah made the whole process very easy and made sure everything was perfect. The house was so cute and clean with plenty of space! Plus, the location was fantastic - plenty of unique and ""Austin-y"" coffee shops and restaurants near by and only a short drive from downtown and the UT campus. 
I'd definitely recommend staying here to anyone, whether you're a seasoned Austin resident or just visiting from out of town!"
4174180,41988504,2015-08-10,10254844,Michael,"Sarah's space was great. The unit was spacious, comfortable, and - most importantly - a cool sanctuary from the summer heat. The place is walking distance to downtown Austin, Rainey Street, and some great eateries (including La Barbecue, home of the best brisket I've ever had). The neighborhood is really charming, safe, and walkable. I'd recommend Sarah's place to anyone looking for a place to kick up their heels in Austin. "
4174180,43289495,2015-08-18,2783867,Kenny,"The location is really nice - two of the best coffee places in Austin just four blocks away (Cenote and Flat Track), and one of the best pizzas of my life two blocks in the other direction (Bufalina). Walking into downtown or Rainey St is a bit annoying at the moment because of all the construction near Cesar Chavez and the freeway, but it's really easy and pleasant to walk down to the lake, and then walk along those paths to get anywhere, if you don't mind taking a longer stroll.

Checking in and out was incredibly easy, and the place itself was nice."
4174180,44108775,2015-08-24,6644918,Angela,"This place was beautiful! It was spacious , had a washer and dryer, bed was very comfortable, bathroom was nice and modern. It was pouring the first day while I waited for my friends plane to arrive, so the free Netflix account to watch was very helpful :) not a bad thing to say! Easy to get around town with an uber or walk. Around quarter mile away from La Barbeque. "
4174180,46113827,2015-09-08,1615843,Kendra,"Sarah's place is great -  the place is lovely, the location is wonderful and walking distance from lots of amazing Austin sites. This is the second time we've been, and we'll likely be back again!"
4174180,46617448,2015-09-12,16635248,Lexi,"It was lovely to stay at Sarah's, she was very friendly and helpful. There were yummy snacks and beer left for our arrival. The house was so conveniently located to everything we wanted to see that we walked everywhere."
4174180,47211388,2015-09-16,6109421,Sonia,"Sarah is a an extremely thoughtful hostess with great taste. She filled her place with all the necessities: aromatic hair products, ear plugs, an iron, a hair dryer, pasta, olive oil, local publications, and Austin beer and mineral water. She made it so comfortable, and the location was great. From the house you can walk, drive, or bike to downtown and the surrounding neighborhood is a great walk. The White Horse with live music,  was a perfect bar for a Texas experience."
4174180,47953344,2015-09-22,4556756,Jordan,"Amazing location & space! Very close to the cool spots in East Austin, and a short walk to downtown as well. Plenty of space for two people, flexible check-in time and a place to store our bags at check-out. Comfortable bed and plenty of space to stretch out or cook a meal in the kitchen if you wanted. Complimentary beer in the fridge and hotel-style new toiletries were also welcomed. We'd love to stay here again on our next Austin visit."
4174180,48735176,2015-09-28,19123517,Matthew,"Sarah was a great host. I very much valued her detailed instructions regarding check-in, check-out, and navigating the east Austin area. The space was very clean and served as a quiet and relaxing apartment. The photos on the page were a good representation. I would definitely stay here again if came back to visit. "
4174180,49333437,2015-10-03,9808042,Ashley,"Sarah's place made our stay in Austin so much more enjoyable and memorable. The location was great and we really liked the neighborhood. Parking was not an issue and checking in was easy since there were no keys to be exchanged. The guest house has everything one needs and more. Sarah is very thoughtful towards her guests. Though we didn't spend too much time in the guest house, it was a nice and relaxing retreat after our outings. The location was also ideal as we were able to walk to Rainey Street and East Cesar Chavez for bars and eateries. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin-so much better than a hotel! Thank you Sarah!"
4174180,49589094,2015-10-05,542862,Mishka,"It was absolutely fantastic place in a great location. Clean and well equipped, it even came with a wonderful neighborhood cat! Highly recommended!"
4174180,49913621,2015-10-07,7079425,Julie,"Sarah was a wonderful host and the apartment was comfortable and very clean! Great location, it was easy l walk to most of the places we wanted to go. Sarah made sure we had a nice stay. I'd definatly come back again!"
4174180,50704485,2015-10-13,36392984,Vy,The listing and descriptions were accurate. Host was very accommodating. Everything was very nice and went well. The neighborhood is very quiet and charming. There are lots of nice restaurants and cafes around there. Great location! 
4174180,51291270,2015-10-19,3578667,Laura,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sarah's home.  The pictures are accurate, the space is very clean, and the bed is really comfortable.  Just about 15 min from the airport and we loved the location in E Austin.    You're also only a 10 min walk to b-cycles and zip cars for exploring.  We will most certainly be back."
4174180,52204018,2015-10-27,15711366,Olivia,"Sarah was extremely communicative throughout the entire booking process, and that continued throughout the lead up to our vacation! We were able to drop off our bags prior to checking in, and enjoyed all the snacks and beverages she left for us!

Accommodations were private, very clean, and comfortable. Definitely my best Airbnb experience yet. It was nice having a fridge, stove, and especially a washer/dryer! 

Location was great - definitely an area we may not have checked out if we had stayed right in the middle of downtown, so I'm glad we had the opportunity to see a trendy area with unique attractions and food. That being said, we had an easy walk downtown and also utilized Uber. (Costs of Uber rides were about $5-6 to/from downtown). 

Everything was great, and we'd definitely stay w/ Sarah and family again. 

"
4174180,52453896,2015-10-29,3740493,Samantha,"Sarah's guest house was lovely! It was a quick safe walk to the Austin Convention Center with a great stop for coffee and breakfast on the way. Sarah was also a wonderful host. She quickly answered my questions, provided a lot of helpful info upfront and helped me coordinate my bags to leave at the house since I was getting in earlier than check-in but needed to head to a conference.  "
4174180,52851366,2015-11-02,4879743,Gerardo,"We truly had a great time at this apartment, which is close enough to downtown that we could walk back and forth.
Sarah's instructions were very clear. But in addition, she was always ready to solve any questions. I appreciated her kindness and professionalism."
4174180,53140025,2015-11-05,13871365,Jessica,"Sarah's place was clean, cute, comfortable, and in a great East Austin location. I pretty much couldn't have asked for anything more!"
5805370,33817077,2015-06-01,31470051,Ted,"My first night we watched some episodes of Parenthood, which was fun.  During my time there I was fortunate enough to meet some cool people who lived nearby and Marina was a friendly host and a smart woman.  The futon was comfortable and Marina was quiet at night.  The apartment is nice and the area is nice and is good especially for people who work at IBM or in the Pflugerville/RR area.  Some days I would come home from work feeling like I got my bricks knocked off, but Marina was there to make me feel better with her happy attitude.  Overall I am glad I booked with her on airbnb!"
5805370,53311210,2015-11-07,20543117,Alberto,"My brief stay was great! Marina was friendly and made sure I had everything I would need to have a comfortable stay. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in town, and if your need a place in north Austin this is a good choice."
8663970,49949705,2015-10-07,39908243,Joe,Erika's place in Austin was perfect for our needs. Everything was clean and the apartment was in a central spot ($5 uber to soco and downtown). There was plenty of space to sleep four of us easily.
8663970,50573958,2015-10-12,13058401,Erin,Excellent location. Erika and her roommate were also incredibly hospitable. We had a wonderful time! 
5173181,27951561,2015-03-15,102448,Craig,"Everything about this stay was great. Location, easy street parking, layout of the rental, and Nancy's attention to detail was wonderful. I spent 2 nights here during SXSW and was able to escape to her place and get a good nights sleep.  The kitchen was great as well. Awesome hot water in shower and great water pressure. "
5173181,28421772,2015-03-23,27891067,Cristina,"Nancy was amazing, the most lovely host you could hope for! The bungalow was exactly as described but should have included comfy and one block away from public transportation!
As a warm welcome Nancy had left cookies, chips, coffee and beer (among other things) for us and after a 10 hour flight we very much appreciated this. She helped us countless times with information and even drove us for some errands because we couldn't rent a car and we met her wonderful family and friends in a camp fire at the house! (which is lovely and deserves mention). She was definitely part of our SXSW experience. I 100% recommend this bungalow for anyone who loves to feel like being at home when travelling. Ill come back whenever I return to Austin.   "
5173181,30368856,2015-04-20,16343232,Jordan,"My boyfriend & I were looking for a place to stay for a last minute trip to Austin, and Nancy's bungalow exceeded our expectations  in every way. Not only was she able to accommodate us on (incredibly) late notice, but made us feel so welcome- we didn't want to leave! Clean, stylish & located within walking distance of SoCo shops & incredible food, we'd recommend this place to anyone. While we never met Nancy, she was the perfect hostess- checking in to make sure we settled and had everything we needed & leaving us with snacks & the elixir of life (aka: COFFEE!).  "
5173181,30832188,2015-04-27,2372312,Charles,Great host! Very hospitable!
5173181,33331108,2015-05-26,5580736,Eli,"We had a wonderful stay with Beckett and would definitely recommend her place.

Main points:

- Beckett went far out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable in her home. She freshly laundered the sheets (after a full night shift of work!), provided us valued pointers on things to do locally, and checked in on how we were doing.

- Advertised as 1 BR, but the couch was extremely comfortable to sleep on, even though it wasn't even technically a foldaway.

- The home was in a great location - pleasant traffic-calmed street that was comfortable for walking, and a very short drive to the main attractions and lots of great places to eat.  Even with the convenient location near the airport, we did not hear airplanes flying overhead.

- Everything was extremely clean.

The only issues we encountered were extremely minor (e.g. a few burnt out light bulbs), and I imagine the host will promptly fix them.

Overall, A+ experience."
5173181,37274566,2015-07-05,27133519,Idir,"Nice and fully independent one bedroom little bungalow at the back of a drive way in a quiet street/neighborhood, very close to the South Congress area, and pretty much 10 mins drive to a lot of places on the south bank of the river in Austin TX.
The place has a spacious living area, a small bathroom, and a reasonable size bedroom with a very comfy bed and a huge flat screen! Lots of windows for natural light.
Although in 2 nights spent there we didn't use all of the provided amenities, I can say that the AC works great and the shower head has very good pressure & hot water. Nice decoration throughout the house and a comfy couch. A hair blow dryer would have been a nice bonus.
We did not have the chance to meet our host Nancy, but she was very easy to communicate with prior to our arrival and during our stay.
I would recommend this place for a couple or a single person, and I can safely say that we would stay there again in the future."
5173181,41015650,2015-08-03,21702755,Bill,"Nancy's place is very AUSTIN, very cool, hip, funky, and just has a great vibe to it.  The location is perfect as its close enough to South Congress but also quiet and charming.  I can't wait to go back and I will soon!"
5173181,46093717,2015-09-07,15586843,Malak,"We loved Nancy's place. It was just enough room for a weekend get away in Austin. Not right in the middle of down town but not too far from everything you would want. Rainey street, downtown, Soco. We slept better than we had in weeks as well. Quiet place. Will definitely stay again. Clean, comfy, and cute. She even dropped off an Iron for us to use once I realized we needed one! Very sweet and helpful! "
5173181,47934389,2015-09-21,27074073,Sharmisa,I Really like the place. It was cute cozy and quirky. Just like Austin. :) we were welcomed by what smelled like Hawaiian breeze. The bedroom was cozy and comfy as well. I guess I didn't read the description about the place being behind the house. When we pulled up we saw the cute golden doodle in the window and didn't think we were in the right place. But once we got to the door (I forgot his name but) the nice man told us where we needed to go. We really just slept there since my boyfriend and I were too busy enjoying Austin. It was easy to find. And in a great location. I would stay here again. 
5173181,48958093,2015-09-29,2429850,Colin,"My wife and I couldn't have been more satisfied with our experience staying at Beckett's very quaint and private bungalow. The place is cozy, clean, quiet, private and in the perfect location (just a few blocks from S. Congress). The AC worked great and the ceiling fan in the bedroom was nice as well. We had everything we needed and then some. Check in/out was smooth and effortless. Beckett is a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make our time in Austin as pleasant as possible. No complaints! We would definitely stay here again!  "
5173181,51871495,2015-10-24,1110475,Meghan,"The place was great and Nancy was a great host! Awesome place, great location! We loved staying here."
7497472,50597832,2015-10-12,46039127,Brent,"For my girlfriend and I, this was our first Airbnb experience ever so Kevin was our first host. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, accommodate our needs, and provide a fantastic place to stay. We were in town for ACL weekend and Kevin had a room available for us. Kevin tidied up the room we were going to stay in before we arrived by putting fresh sheets and pillows on the bed, cleaning the bathroom and shower, and making sure the room was in an amazing condition for us when we arrived. The room we stayed in had a Television, clean closet, and Queen size bed with its own private bathroom and shower.

Kevin really helped us out tremendously during our stay. We had gone up to Austin with friends therefore we didn't have our own vehicle to get around town in. Kevin went above and beyond by providing us with a ride to The Domain and ACL itself.

Kevin owns two amazing, well trained dogs that you won't have to be in contact with, if you were prefer not to be, but you'd want to cause they're the sweetest dogs. The neighborhood is clean, quite, and you won't hear any traffic, so getting a good nights rest was easily achieved.

Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay at Kevin's house and would recommend anyone looking for a great place to stay to check out Kevin's house. He is the greatest host anyone could ask for and we were gracious with him allowing us to stay in his home."
975891,3828299,2013-03-18,5430491,Victor,Martin was a great host.  He left the place very clean for us and responded very quickly to some questions we had after we had already settled into the space.  This is a great place to stay!
975891,3993182,2013-04-01,3319650,Elaine,"Great!
"
975891,4154453,2013-04-14,3871427,Allison,Martin's apartment was perfect for our short stay in Austin.  Everything was ready when we arrived.  Communication was very easy and he is quick to respond.  I would definitely stay here again.
975891,4679557,2013-05-20,5139579,Amy,"This place was obsessively clean and cute. It would be perfect for a couple who wants a nice weekend and enjoys perfect surroundings.

... Maybe a little bit too perfect for some people. You might keep that in mind if you're more of a laid-back type!"
975891,6151308,2013-08-01,5533872,Gigi,"We had a very nice stay at Martin's place.  It was very convenient for my priority - which was commuting to the UT campus.  Place was great and host was very gracious and hands on for our immediate needs.   I really enjoyed Martin's hospitality and professionalism.  The place is so great.  Thanks a bunch, Martin....."
975891,8038889,2013-10-14,5462578,Cecil,The condo was fantastic: Super clean and beautiful decorations. The location was near perfect for the price. Martin was very accommodating and we had good communication overall. Will definitely consider for my next Austin visit.
975891,9017655,2013-12-02,8260952,Preston,"Great, stylish apartment in  a nice neighborhood.  Everything went smoothly, and it was a very enjoyable weekend.  "
975891,10974494,2014-03-16,9529916,Jillian,Martin was an extremely attentive host who went above and beyond what we expected of any host. The condo was impeccable--every last detail was considered to make it feel as inviting as possible. The location was ideal for us as we wanted to be just a bit away from the SXSW craziness but close enough to walk there at night. You'll be around the corner from plenty of shops if you want to explore nearby as well. It's also very close to highways if you have a car and want to go on mini-excursions. We felt very welcome and comfortable (let's be honest--we wanted to move in!) and we will most definitely contact Martin the next time we are in Austin. 
975891,20843483,2014-10-06,19905168,Tarah,"Good time in Austin in a cutely decorated and clean place.  Perfect location, too! Martin was accommodating and very quick with replies to any inquiries of mine.
=) Would recommend for a group of up to 4 "
975891,28161245,2015-03-19,19902862,Katya,"Martin is a super nice, responsive host. Very cute, clean place, but please note: it is NOT two bedrooms. The sofa bed was broken and we had to make other arrangements. Also, the bathroom doesn't fully have a door, so don't reserve it if you're traveling with people who you don't feel comfortable seeing you get ready!

For a couple or a single traveler, this is a perfect place about 10 minutes from downtown Austin. I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't listed as a two bedroom rental."
7935687,49815395,2015-10-06,44034415,Michael,"Joanna was welcoming and friendly. She had a Texas casual charm and unique knowledge about the property as she is a real estate professional. The property was as advertised clean and fully appointed.

I would be happy to stay in this or any other property she represents."
7935687,50501247,2015-10-12,38407022,Shea,"House was perfect for our needs.  Had a party of 6 and we had plenty of room.  Great communication before and after our stay with Joanna.    House is well equipped and in a nice, quiet neighborhood.  Highly recommend!"
7935687,51182025,2015-10-18,4838371,Andrew,"The house was nice and Joanna was very helpful.  It's about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown Austin and in a lovely quiet neighborhood.  Two things to note though are that:

A) It's really a 3 bedroom and should not be listed as a 4 bedroom.  The 4th bedroom is really a TV room that is connected to another bedroom via a staircase without a door.  This makes both bedrooms feel less private.  A great place for 3 bedrooms, but had we actually needed the 4th, it would have disappointed.

B) One of the bathrooms is tiny.  Any average sized man cannot sit in the toilet without angling ones body because the sink is so close.

Overall this is a great place and I would definitely stay there again so long as I did not actually need 4 private bedrooms."
5535720,45830374,2015-09-06,1810133,Jackie,"She was a awesome host! Her house is cozy, and relaxing! I will def stay here again if I come back Austin! It's also so close to downtown Austin !!"
5535720,46853649,2015-09-13,43975803,Christopher,Bianca was a great host. Very quick response times. Nice condo in a nice area and within short distance of main areas in Austin. I enjoyed my stay and received everything that I expected.  
4242936,20805703,2014-10-05,10705023,Rocio,The host made us feel absolutely welcome in their gorgeous home! It was impeccably clean- They were flexible enough to accommodate us even at the very last minute.  I would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.
4242936,21265280,2014-10-13,2549294,Jamie,"Emily was very welcoming and had a great home for us to stay in! The couch upstairs totally had enough room for a 6ft tall man to sleep on. We had a great weekend and thank Emily for the clean, well-decorated, wonderful-smelling place!"
4242936,27028789,2015-02-23,23355769,Ashley,"Our stay was AMAZING! Emily was so helpful and nice. I went with a large group and everyone had their own space, which was great! The house was gorgeous and very spacious. The location was perfect- not too far from downtown yet enough distance to enjoy your time and relax. I would 100% recommend anyone stay here in the future!"
4242936,28426842,2015-03-23,5719533,Julie,"Emily was the sweetest and most caring host I had in ages. Her place was immaculate and so spacious, we actually needed this as we were coming for SXSW and we needed to stay away from people sometimes- and the house really allowed for peace and quiet. 

She was very flexible and she really took care of us. 

Will definitely come back and she's so friendly, I hope we stay in touch 
"
4242936,38239216,2015-07-13,38022661,Kevin,Emily's place looked even better in person! Super spacious and homey. She is very easy to communicate with and was also very helpful in getting us accommodated at every step of the way. I would stay here again.
4242936,46093981,2015-09-07,43273598,Emily,Such a cozy home and Emily was wonderful! We will definitely be back! Not far from town either which was a huge plus 
4242936,52206792,2015-10-27,5018835,Lisa,"Stellar!
Emily's house was SPOTLESS when we arrived.  The pictures on the website are accurate, but the house is so much more than that.  Not only is it modern and spacious, her kitchen is well stocked with quality pots and pans, knives, coffee maker/grinder, etc.
The beds were super comfortable and the master bath very spacious (double vanity). 
There were three of us staying for the Formula1 weekend and there was plenty of room for each of us.  We parked on the side of the house by the back stoop and used that to come in and out (off the kitchen), as it was pouring rain and we could just take our muddy boots off at the back door.  
Emily was so welcoming and gracious.  She kindly took her cat with her as I am slightly allergic.  There was not one trace of cat hair anywhere in the house.  We felt like she made great effort to have everything perfect - and it was!
She also suggested Central Market for organic groceries and recommended Texas Joe coffee (delicious!).
We wholeheartedly recommend Emily and her lovely home and would stay here again."
4197523,21239665,2014-10-13,5887580,Justin,"This location is perfect for any event down at Zilker park or the surrounding area. Its about a 10 minute walk to the park, we attended ACL and it was clutch to be so close with parking and the zoo that ensues with those types of events. There is a market across the street which is really convenient and there is a large park under 5 minutes walking to just hang out. Halima was super accommodating, she even found time to pick us up from the airport on her day off! That's door to door service. Her communication was great and the unit is as advertised, the unit has really good light and climate control for that crazy Texas weather. "
4197523,49659247,2015-10-05,43524048,Tom,"This was a very comfortable place to be. It had all I needed: a comfortable bed, clean towels, and was well located, just far enough away from the madness of ACL."
4197523,50326769,2015-10-11,44109299,Gabriel,"Halima was an excellent host, very informative and accommodating of our late arrival time. She really went out of her way to make us feel welcome, including leaving some drinks for us when we get there. We stayed here for the ACL music festival and it was a perfect spot to walk to Zilker park. We also had the pleasure of meeting some of her neighbors, who were also great people! I would definitely stay in this spot or rent from Halima again."
2539594,11209102,2014-03-24,13200176,Chris,"couldnt have asked for a better host! the room was clean and well taken care of and the icing on the cake was the super cool dogs to play with. victoria was very nice sharing information about austin and places to visit. the parking is in a driveway but its got a nice incline so i parked my sports car on the street in front of the house with no problems, ( and i have really nice wheels... nothing to worry about) great little neighborhood. i will definitely stay with victoria again! "
2539594,11816052,2014-04-15,12649735,Cristi,"Victoria was as expected - nothing short of awesome, a total sweetheart, and willing to go out of her way to make my stay an enjoyable one! I wish I had more time to visit with her.  Neighborhood was great! Minutes from the track, little traffic to navigate through getting to COTA."
2539594,11842487,2014-04-16,7240419,Xulu(phone number hidden),"Victoria is the first hostress when we arrive Texas. She was waiting for us until mid-night and gave us many good advice for traveling. And she is very kind and friendly. We really had a geat time there. If I go to Austin again one day, I will choose her lovely house again!"
2539594,11878307,2014-04-17,7240419,Xulu(phone number hidden), I highly recommend Victoria' house! She is a good hostress and her house is very clean.
2539594,20112229,2014-09-23,21040893,Linskey,"Her home is near the airport and COTA and it gets even better than that.  First time Airbnb user and because of Victoria I'll definitely repeat.  Her home is beautiful and has a warm, cozy vibe to make you feel at home.   Changa and Buddha(her dogs) were well behaved and very chill.    She's a great host.  She took some others guests that were in town and I out to see some sights, have great conversation in the yard, and out to eat some really good Mexican Brunch.  I was blown away with how much I enjoyed myself.  Thanks again Victoria. I'm fixin' to make a return ya'll!"
2539594,20937544,2014-10-07,21985785,Dafne,"Victoria is indeed a warm and welcoming host!
She has some refreshments available for guests at all times and you're welcome to hang out in the living room and on the back porch as you wish.
The suburban neighborhood is nice and quiet and feels safe. 
Just so you know: If you don't have a car, the place is 45-55 min. from SoCo/downtown by public transport and the bus to and from the house (no. 228) does not run on weekends.
Also, there are two dogs in the house, so: Must.Love.Dogs. :o)"
2539594,21311668,2014-10-14,21979281,Erin,"Victoria was so welcoming and her house is adorable. She had everything a guest could need: bath/shower gels, French press coffee and a safe, quiet neighborhood that easily accessed everything in Austin. I highly recommend her!"
2539594,21695673,2014-10-21,14452936,Jesse,Exactly as described. Victoria is such a pleasant host! Awesome stay. Thank you for everything Victoria! 
2539594,21858499,2014-10-25,15226487,Ticiana,"I recommend this place 100% if your destination is Austin,TX. I'll be back definitely to Victoria's place."
2539594,22639034,2014-11-10,8403977,Yu,"I had a great experience at Victoria's place. The place is exactly the same as what it looks like in the photo. I arrived very late, around 11:30pm, and left very early (~4:30am). Victoria patiently waited for me. She also prepared fruits and snacks for breakfast. Highly recommended!!"
2539594,26272952,2015-02-08,16309158,Stephanie,I walked in the front door to a warm welcome by Victoria and her two dogs. Very clean room and house. I loved my time spent with V!
2539594,26581933,2015-02-15,8016586,Jane,"Victoria was very responsive (I contacted her at the last minute) and very flexible about arrival and departure times.  She was welcoming and warm but also respected my privacy.  Her house is comfortable, clean and interesting -- tract home on the outside; vibrant, colorful, interesting on the inside.
A very good experience.
Victoria is a smoker.  She is very careful to keep it outside, but she uses incense inside to prevent the smell inside. That was a bit off-putting at first but ended up being okay withe me since the rest of the experience was very positive. "
2539594,27364322,2015-03-02,714836,Antall,Victoria is an amazing host. Very clean room and house. I took her up on some of the recommendations she gave me and was not disappointed. Her two dogs are even more adorable. 
2539594,27510452,2015-03-06,28069731,Nick,"I arrived very late (1:00AM).  Victoria was still awake and was happy to welcome me in.  When I arrived, she offered me something to drink after my long travels, which was great.  She was very nice, and the place was excellent.  She was very accommodating.  The room was clean and the shower was very nice.  The house was in great condition and the neighborhood was safe.  Very close to the airport (10 minutes).  If I go back to Austin, I would gladly rebook here."
2539594,27976598,2015-03-15,29107869,Tibbye,"Victoria is a wonderful host with a lovely home and two playful dogs. As a first-time Airbnb user, I really enjoyed my stay. She knows a lot about the area, and even provided reading material about the event I was attending, South By Southwest. I highly recommend Victoria's place if you're ever in Austin."
2539594,28171365,2015-03-19,27814817,Damir,"To put it simply, Victoria was a fantastic host during my stay at her place. I had a fairly early arrival after a red-eye flight and she was more than accommodating to my schedule. The interior of her home is certainly unique, and there's no question that she's put a lot of her personality into the place. It full of interesting objects and smartly painted walls, but never feels cluttered. It's a pleasant experience to stay somewhere that feels so lived-in and and welcoming.

Victoria herself is very friendly and inviting. Within each room she provides various guides to the city, including a list of her own recommendations, and she puts out a water bottle each evening for her guests. It's a small gesture, but one that's emblematic of a considerate host. She's also more than willing to provide recommendations around town.

She does have two dogs at her place, so anyone with allergies should be wary, but the dogs themselves are friendly and adorable, if a bit excitable. Victoria is also a smoker, but if I hand't seen the ashtray on the back patio, I would never have guessed. There's no trace of cigarettes inside the home. 

I should mention, however, that the home is a fair distance from downtown. If you're coming into Austin with the intention of spending a lot of time in the city, be prepared to spend $15-$20 each way on Uber fees, for 15-20 minute rides. It's, frankly, not a big inconvenience and the overall cost is still extremely reasonable, but it's worth noting. I would gladly stay here again on my next visit to Austin.

Overall, Victoria is a great host with a great place, and you'd be hard pressed to find nicer accommodations in Austin. An easy recommendations. "
2539594,28228245,2015-03-20,2325443,Emily,Victoria is super nice!! The place was close to the airport and looks exactly like the image. Had great little recommendations and a guide book to Austin-all very cute. The only knock was the other guests were a bit rowdy which after a long day was a pain but Victoria was great. 
2539594,28473067,2015-03-24,19591672,Wilfrido,listing description was spot on. Excellent decoration. Victoria did outstanding in receiving me. Extremely friendly and everything was well prepared
2539594,28749208,2015-03-29,29523652,Brendan,"For my first Airbnb experience I have to say that Victoria has set the bar high for others hosts to meet on my next experience. Victoria was very easy going from the very start, great communication before meeting, great ideas to my personal taste to things to do and places to go- Blacks BBQ!!! Omg I'll never be the same again!! I had so much fun during my time in Austin and it would not have been the same if I had chosen to stay somewhere else. Thank you Vic- I truly am grateful for what I believe to the start of a great friendship. I hope to see you again soon."
2539594,28857825,2015-03-30,23318147,Nadya,Victoria is a generous host. I was visiting Austin with a friend during a last-minute trip. She helped us make the trip fantastic.
2539594,29938381,2015-04-14,11206145,Tom,Despite arriving while Victoria was at work she made arrangements for me to have access immediately. The room was just as described and was very comfortable. Victoria was a lovely and entertaining host! I highly recommend!
2539594,32055736,2015-05-13,29156724,Robert,Victoria was a super friendly and welcoming host. Since it was my first time in Austin she recommendations about what there is to do in town. Victoria was also helpful when it came to answering my questions about the city. She has two dogs and they're both sweet hearts. Victoria has a beautiful house and I enjoyed staying with her. If I am ever back in Austin I would definitely stay with her again. 
2539594,32610323,2015-05-19,19591672,Wilfrido,excellent. just like last time. cozy place. easy instructions. close to airport. highly recommend.
2539594,33205444,2015-05-25,32631842,Stefanie,Awesome time at the place. Very accommodating and had a great list of things to do. The place is also very close to the airport!
2539594,34441421,2015-06-08,31437671,Kio,"Victoria was a super warmful and kindness host!!
I had an awesome time at my first airbnb experience.
Her house & rooms was so clean & gorgeous and close to airport,COTA and downtown.
I played with her cutie dogs.
Definitely recommend if stay in Austin. and I would stay with her again.

2539594,34920578,2015-06-13,14070341,Carlos,Great experience. Cool house. I had a good night's sleep in her calm and quiet neighborhood. Nothing to complain about. Overall positive experience. 
2539594,35188582,2015-06-15,22677702,Daniel,"Victoria has earned her reputation as a SuperHost. I would be hard pressed to give a full review in 500 words, but I will try.  
I arrived in Austin with no plans and nowhere to stay. She immediately responded to my request and from her first response, I knew I had made the right choice. I was greeted with a warm welcome from Victoria and her two wonderful dogs, which made my stay all that much more bittersweet since I was homesick and missing my two babies back home. I followed her recommendations(itinerary) while I was there and for that I am truly grateful.

2539594,42728905,2015-08-15,38964757,Nadya,"Everything was perfect. Victoria was a great host: she was always prompt in responding to messages, she made me feel very welcome and comfortable, and her charming place was just as she had described. After a long day of working and traveling, I really enjoyed relaxing at her place and playing with her friendly dogs.
"
2539594,43199912,2015-08-17,24465574,Luo,"I had a wonderful experience staying at Vic's place. It is a very cozy house with South American decoration, the bathroom is in Mexican theme, and my room is in African theme. How cool is that! Vic is super friendly and nice. She even invited me to see the musical in Barton Springs with her friends. Just love chilling with these cool people. Vic has two cutest dogs on earth and I really enjoyed spending time with them."
2539594,43854901,2015-08-22,242115,David,"I had a very pleasant stay with Victoria.  My flight got in just before midnight, but Victoria was a short Uber ride from the airport, and I was able to crash at a decent time.  I was only staying 1 night, so I did not get a chance to talk much with Victoria, but she was very nice and waited up for me until past midnight.  The bed was comfortable and the bathroom very clean.  The dogs were friendly and fun to hang with."
2539594,44237236,2015-08-24,41718764,Raj,"She and her friends made me feel, and treated me as if I am a close friend. When I arrived my hose greeted me with a warm welcome and offered me beverages (0_^). 

Victoria responded to my e-mail very quickly, she confirmed my reservation for 3 days. The place was peaceful, allowing me to concentrate on my school work. Soothing, after a long day of work, the house temperature was on the spot (I slept like a baby because it was not hot, and not cold).

The convenience of the location to my work and the feel at home environment is promising, that I would return on my future travel.

2539594,45337732,2015-09-01,42460846,Martin,Great and very caring and welcoming host. Very clean and nice appartment. All good...highly recommendable. 
2539594,47801940,2015-09-21,43286801,Kevin,"I didn't know what to expect from my first Airbnb stay, but thanks to Victoria it turned out to be a great experience.  It was more like staying at a friend's place rather than a random stranger's house.

Victoria was very friendly and accommodating.  The house and room was nice and (email hidden)d very nicely decorated!  

Will look to see if she has an available room next time I'm in town!"
2539594,49557033,2015-10-04,17653681,Jonathan,"Victoria's beautiful home was a great way to end my trip to Austin for Fantastic Fest.  You couldn't ask
for a more inviting host.  Thank you! "
2539594,49869324,2015-10-06,12781629,Jenn,"I was able to book the listing last minute, and I am so glad Victoria was such a great host. I left ACL and didn't get to her place until about 12:15am. She was courteous and overall extremely welcoming, and I would love to have the opportunity to stay in the single comfort room of her home. I was intrigued by all of the amazing artwork and pieces from around the world, and I appreciated the ""welcome home"" hospitality that Victoria had. :)"
2539594,51063912,2015-10-17,25196473,Garrett,My first time using Air BNB was great because Victoria was a great host! The room was super clean and I had my own bathroom. She was really good on telling me where I should go since I never been to Texas before. I'm defiantly coming back to Texas and I'm defiantly staying at Victorias house again. 
2539594,51414966,2015-10-19,41718764,Raj,"My second time staying at Victoria's place and I look forward for more days to come.

I would have to say my overall experience gets the 5 star rating for feel at home atmosphere, comfort and the convenience."
2539594,52311777,2015-10-28,6522127,Lisa,"I had a brief stay in Victoria's home, but it was such a pleasant experience that I will think of her first when I return to Austin! Victoria and her two adorable pups welcome you into the abode like an old friend. The house is very well-appointed and comfortable; the back patio, especially, invites you to sit and relax. Victoria was brimming with great suggestions and ideas for things to do in Austin - her recommendation sheets are fantastic. The location was great for me, as it was close to the airport (and to McKinney Falls!). I really appreciated Victoria's charm and hospitality and look forward to my next visit.  "
2539594,52773268,2015-11-01,35086846,Terry,"Victoria's place was my 2nd AirBnB booking and I'm more enchanted with this way of travel than ever. I finally arrived in Austin 7.5 hours late due to historic storms and was unable to get to my host house until after my  event, past midnight. While a Marriott may have waited up for me, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten a hug for my brutal travel day and I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten a personal beagle and Buddha dog to snuggle. The room was delightful as was the whole house- filled with wonderful artifacts from my hosts world travels. I was treated to breakfast tacos (unexpected!) and a truly stimulating morning conversation with a fellow traveler from Sicily. I could have lingered for days. I may return just to stay with Victoria again! "
2665394,21618959,2014-10-20,22125970,Landon,"I booked this house for a bachelor party for 9 guys. The listing is 100% accurate, the house is great, and the host is very responsive and accommodating. This was my first time using airbnb, and it was a great experience. I would definitely stay here again."
2665394,21957230,2014-10-27,21421849,Christopher,"House is in a great location just a short cab ride to E 6th or Rainey.  House is well furnished and really nice inside.  Jeremy (owner) was extremely accommodating and great to work with.  I highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for an ""urban"" getaway."
2665394,28245447,2015-03-21,16190912,Kriz,"We had a great time. The house was a welcoming and quiet sanctuary away from the SXSW crowds. We had every amenity at our fingertips and our hosts were quick to answer even the most basic questions. I would not hesitate to recommend early and often. 

We were able to ride bikes to and from the convention center. A great time was had by all of us! "
2665394,31890431,2015-05-11,16203002,Elliot,"I was with a group of 10 guys who stayed at Jeremy's place for a long weekend and we could not have had a better time at the house and in Austin. The house was a short cab or walk to downtown and all the hot spots. The pictures don't do this house justice. Between the projection TV to the furniture, everything has been improved to enhance a group stay. 

When we go back to Austin we'll be staying in this house. "
2665394,35785114,2015-06-22,2583679,Navjot,"This house is the perfect place to stay for a group, there's plenty of space and even an outdoor patio. The house itself is gorgeous and well renovated. While staying here we found the house to be optimally located, close to several great BBQ spots and just a short uber ride from the downtown bar scene. Jeremy even left us a great list of activities to do and places to eat while in town. Our group would highly recommend this house for your next visit to Austin!"
2665394,36536229,2015-06-29,32712630,Suzanne M.,"The house was awesome!  The house was very hip and modern, what i was totally looking for in a trip to Austin.  It was very spacious and well stocked with linens.  It was pretty perfect for a girls weekend!  Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to fully utilize the back porch but it is perfect for grilling and hanging out both during the day and at night.  They have really done a great job of setting the ambiance.  The neighborhood is pretty quiet and relaxing, perfect if you plan to truly get away.  The surround sound has bluetooth and is user friendly, a must for any weekend getaway! 
   
The hosts left us a few local favorites to try.  They also left us recommendations for local restaurants, which we really appreciated, and instructions about which remote worked which device.  They made sure the house was cool for our arrival – super considerate of them because Austin if hot!!  

Big thanks to the hosts for allowing us to stay in their home and experience Austin!  I look forward to my next trip."
5148991,28124694,2015-03-18,1505686,Harrison,"Matt was THE MOST welcoming host I've ever encountered on Airbnb. I was blown away by how thorough he was with laying out information and instructions for the apartment. Not to mention, that place was beautiful."
46929,118890,2010-10-14,138472,Olga,"Stayed with Susan and Anthony for 4 days - what a lovely setup!  The suite was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. Susan and Anthony were very gracious and helpful, and served us a delicious breakfast every morning.  I highly recommend the room and the hosts!  The only small suggestion for improvement is to perhaps have a mini-fridge in the room to make left-overs easier to deal with.  Thumbs up!   "
46929,121757,2010-10-18,253401,Zedric,"Susan and Anthony were gracious hosts. Both were very pleasant and helpful. Anthony gave me a detailed map of the area, along with a little history of the neighborhood. Susan kindly offered to get lattes and breakfast tacos for us. The room was comfy, plus the location made for easy commutes to Downtown.

I'm glad we chose this over a hotel. I'm definitely looking forward to booking with them again in the future."
46929,126035,2010-10-24,218563,Robert,Excellent setting and beautiful suite in this quiet original well to do central Austin neighborhood just minutes to downtown. Susan and Anthony are attentive and responsive hosts and at the ready in the morning to provide a coffee of your choice! Will definitely stay again.
46929,135411,2010-11-08,45859,Michelle,"This is a beautiful place! Serene, clean, and welcoming. 
Susan was very gracious.  "
46929,143773,2010-11-23,289182,John,"Wow!  Did we ever luck out in choosing to stay with Susan and Anthony!  As people, every bit as delightful as their photo suggests; as hosts, above and beyond what we could have possibly expected.  Add to an already perfect package two stellar children with ""dog-whisperer"" gifts, and you've got a 5-star choice of a place to stay!  

Their home is lovely and ideally situated.  We were traveling with our two dogs, and our hosts not only made an exception for us, but created a special package for us that included pet-sitting so that we could do some things on our own during our stay in Austin.  Our finicky, ""mom-attached"" dogs went right to them as if they had found their long-lost loves.  Unreal!  And we all know...animals are wonderful judges of character!

We were so, so happy that we did our research and elected the ""b&b"" approach over a hotel.  Our memories of this trip were deeply enriched because of our lovely host family.  Can't say enough good things about them and their home.  Would add a star to the 5 if we could."
46929,259303,2011-05-11,400984,Marilyn,Our experience with Susan and Anthony was great!  The guest house was lovely.  We slept well and enjoyed quiet time reading and relaxing on our own little patio.  We look forward to staying with them again on our return to Austin. 
46929,262440,2011-05-13,575547,Karen,Susan and Anthony were very accommodating. We arrived around midnight our first night (we are late travelers). Breakfast was wonderful. I must compliment the hosts with regards to their coffee. The accommodations were very cozy.
46929,276518,2011-05-23,473870,Phiem,"Anthony and Susan were very thorough, considerate and helpful. Their place is spacious, neat and private. At their suggestion, we took a walk around the neighborhood. We really enjoyed the peaceful and pleasant ambience. The great part is that it is only 15 minutes drive to downtown. We would love to stay here if we visit austin again. "
46929,290714,2011-05-31,560988,Wesley,"Our stay was perfect. Susan and Anthony were great and went out of their way to help us out. We traveled with our two young sons and Susan was knd enough to lend us several boxes of toys and books which our 2 year old absolutely loved! The location was perfect, literally nestled between everything in town, but far enough west to where you could get some peace and quiet. The neighborhood itself is one of the finest in Austin and we felt very safe being there. The apartment was attached to the back of their house with its own seperate walkway to its private entrance. We were absolutely blown away by how nice and sacious it was and the Japanese tub was awesome - very relaxing. If you are looking for a quiet, safe, clean place that is less than a 5 minute drive to everything then look no further. We will stay here every time we are in Austin!"
46929,303003,2011-06-07,34829,Sylvia,"The house was beautiful, well furnished, and located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We were provided with everything we needed. We were very appreciative of the WIFI and the TV provided upon request. Before arrival we were offered a variety of options for breakfast and it was brought to us each morning with a latte and juice. The house is even better than it appears in photos and the location is excellent. The owners were wonderful and very responsive and ensured that we had a great visit. Thank you for your warm and gracious hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your home. On our next visit to Austin, we hope to stay here again!

"
46929,311091,2011-06-13,515413,Jim,"Absolutely, everything we had hoped for. Comfortable terrific location, quiet, clean, well furnished.
Susan was gracious, thoughtful and truly went the extra mile to make us feel welcome.
"
46929,320005,2011-06-17,697592,Jason,"We had a great stay here.  Clean and classic Austin in a great area.  Susan and her family were very welcoming but not intrusive, would definitely stay there again (and again)"
46929,355730,2011-07-05,761555,Matthew,"Susan was absolutely great. I was able to work out accomodation while on the road to Austin at 8:30 am. She was very quick to respond, provide info about the city, and Susan made sure I was having a good time and never ran out of things to do. 

The place was great home away from home. The location was perfect. Far enough away from the center to be peaceful but close enough to make traveling back and forth a breeze. 

The bathroom was awesome!

Highly Recommended for those looking to spend time in Austin."
46929,392074,2011-07-23,617205,Rachael,Susan and Anthony were so very welcoming to me. I stayed with them for a month while working  at a short summer internship. They were just fabulous hosts. The space was always clean and cozy. They even helped me navigate Austin. I look forward to keeping in touch with them and will always appreciate their hospitality. 
46929,395627,2011-07-25,774008,Brandon,"This apartment perfectly fulfilled what we were after: space, privacy and a cozy neighborhood. A quick walk to Mozart's, a lakeside cafe, and just a 10 minute drive to the hustle and bustle of downtown, this set-up is ideal for people who just want to get away for a bit. We didn't really call on Susan for her expertise, but if she knows Austin like she knows how to set up a room, then we're sure she's a great guide. The bathroom was incredible too, which didn't hurt."
46929,519586,2011-09-10,245639,Ken," Great location, Warm hospitality, Comfortable place, and located in a great part of Austin. I  would truly recommend that you consider staying with Susan  and family."
46929,549241,2011-09-20,545147,Blaine,"A fantastic experience!

My fiancee and I travelled to Austin to attend the ACL music festival and found Susan's place to be perfect for getting to and from the festival at Zilker park. Located in a quiet by accessible neighbourhood, this place is only a stone's throw from everything Austin offers. Not to mention, Susan is a spectacular host!

Not only did Susan have everything arranged for us, including pedal bikes, but we were also given tons of information regarding the Austin area. Also, fresh bottles of water were waiting for us in the fridge, coffee was available, air conditioning, and a very comfy bed.

The place is located a little far from the downtown core, but buses run frequently and with bikes the ride was only 25 mins. Also, there is a great coffee shop down the road right next to the 'HULA HUT' which was an unbelievable place to grab some Tex-Mex eats/margaritas on the water.


I would not hesitate for a second to stay at Susan's again. She was the perfect host and the place was well kept! You couldn't ask for more...

Highly recommended!

"
46929,563955,2011-09-24,1165898,Jenneye,"It was a joy to stay with you and a pleasure to meet you both.
Thank you for your suggestions on what to see and do in Austin.
Your place is just wonderful, peaceful, and well equipped, and 
I would love to come back and stay again.
Your coffee is just phenomenal, and it was a huge benefit
in staying with you.  Loved the breakfast options too."
46929,578867,2011-09-28,1158700,Moira,This was a wonderful place to stay.  It's in a beautiful neighborhood.  Susan and Anthony were wonderful hosts.  They even left us a few boxes of toys and books for our toddler.  So thoughtful.  
46929,610135,2011-10-08,151428,Zulma,"Susan & Anthony's place is lovely, peacefully nestled among gorgeous oaks and full of comfort, yet centrally located with all of greats of Austin locales within a skip and hop.  They are both  wonderful, attentive hosts which a five star rating deserves several plus+++.  I highly recommend their place and know that I will return."
46929,639180,2011-10-17,1263963,Jason,"The house was perfect. Very private, separate side entrance, coffee maker, great part of Austin. Susan even offered to drive me into Austin!  I'd recommend Susan's place to anyone!  "
46929,745794,2011-11-27,51526,David,"We stayed there after our wedding and were very happy. The hosts were very friendly and warm. The space has very nice high ceilings and a clean Asian design sensibility. The details are great: coffee, tv, candles, soaps, etc.  The location is walkable to the lake, coffee, and restaurants. The hosts offered to let us use their bikes and even offered to let us use their kitchen. The neighborhood is quiet, lovely, and convenient."
46929,1206320,2012-04-30,1736425,Jarod,Susan and her husband Anthony were great hosts.  Everything was very clean and well organized.  They even let us use some bikes they had!  Highly recommended.
46929,1267901,2012-05-12,2157756,Farrah,"The pictures are accurate, it is a very clean, homely, and private 1 bedroom apartment. The host has a keen sense of design which is enlightening. There is parking for one car in the driveway but also parking in the private neighborhood street in front of the house for a second car. Lovely host, trustworthy and friendly. As a first timer to renting from one of Airbnb listings I was skeptical, but after realizing Airbnb visited the place, verified accurate photos, and Susan Maze had an overwhelmingly large number of previous guest leave genuine comments I felt more comfortable. Plus after visiting the place in person before renting it, I felt certain it was safe. I found out too from a local Austinite, that the city created new zoning laws to allow homes to rent out an attached apartment for a short period of time. I highly recommend Susan's place to future guests."
46929,1319309,2012-05-21,2256223,Ellen,Susan was more than accommodating. She worked with our schedule when she could and the place was wonderful and in a great location. We will definitely keep this on the list when traveling to Austin. thank you Susan!!!
46929,1377965,2012-05-29,2416176,Jennifer,This was my first time using airbnb.com and I was very pleased with my stay.  The property was easy to locate and a comfortable walk (0.6 miles) from Hula Hut.  Very safe neighborhood.  The price can't be beat when compared to hotels in the area.  I would stay here again. 
46929,1400652,2012-06-02,1544174,Hayley,"Susan's Tarrytown apartment was perfect for my short stay in Austin prior to moving into the same neighborhood! Her place was cozy and ample in space. The location, besides being visually appealing, is close to Mozart's, Hula Hut, and other restaurants. Also, her place had a small fridge (stocked with a few snacks/drinks) and a microwave which made picking up groceries and storing them easy. You feel tucked in and safe at her place and I would definitely consider staying there again!"
46929,1537239,2012-06-22,2575792,Kevin T.,The Maze BnB was fantastic.  Great location; clean; fun and quite.  I'll definitely stay again.
46929,1721883,2012-07-16,2697933,Jennifer Peel,"Had a great stay! The neighborhood was lovely and the space was gorgeous, super clean, comfortable and very thoughtfully supplied. I really appreciated the walking map and restaurant recommendations Anthony and Susan provided --Mozart's is wonderful, and Maudie's is a little slice of Tex-Mex heaven! Our hosts were friendly and responsive and made efforts to help us feel welcomed and relaxed. Wifi worked perfectly. The space is attached to their own home but in a way that makes it feel quite private. We would be happy to have a chance to stay again and would highly recommend."
46929,1808048,2012-07-26,2854551,Shawn,"My friend and I took a much needed few days vacation in Austin (she came in from Louisiana and I from just south of Austin) to explore things in town, check out several bakeries and restaurants, see a few films and go shopping on S. Congress. Susan's lovely Central Austin - Tarrytown apartment was my first experience with airbnb and it was wonderful. 

Setting up dates and arrival/departure times were a breeze, and both Susan and her husband were a pleasure to work with. The apartment was a wonderful, comfortable and welcoming space. The linens were top notch, the bed very comfortable and the air conditioning quite cool. The bathroom was probably our favorite part of the apartment - the dual shower heads with on-demand hot water were incredible!

Overall our experience was delightful. I know that I'll be back for a weekend trip in the not-too-distant future! Thank you for a lovely experience. "
46929,1950666,2012-08-11,2978937,Brian,We stayed in Susan's apartment for two weeks on a vacation visit to Austin and enjoyed every minute.  Apartment is exactly as described and we agree with all the positive comments already posted.  Susan and Anthony were consummate hosts and all the details were taken care of to perfection.  We hope to be back soon for another stay in Terrific Tarrytown!  
46929,1997576,2012-08-15,2575792,Kevin T.,"I love Susan's BnB.  Always a treat.  Clean, quite and perfect location."
46929,2059711,2012-08-21,1518835,Russ,"My stay at Susan's Tarrytown apartment was perfect.  Exactly as advertised. It's a great location in one of Austin's best neighborhoods, close to downtown, the lake and everything else Austin is known for.  Communication was easy and effortless with Susan, always a quick reply.  I will definitely stay here again!  "
46929,2117243,2012-08-27,156245,Monica,"Truly wonderful stay, everything in the positive posts in 100% accurate as is their listing description. Wonderful home, wonderful neighborhood, walkable, close to great Austin staples of fun & outdoors. We will return (& I'm a Native Austinite, so a bit harder to please ;-) ! "
46929,2192855,2012-09-04,2988614,Molly,"Had a lovely stay at the Maze-England's Tarrytown home, in a large two-room (plus bathroom) suite around back of the house. The suite has finished concrete floors, large windows/lots of light throughout and a luxe bathroom. Everything was very clean, decorated nicely, bed was comfortable, and they provide a small fridge and tea/coffee set ups and several other amenities. We didn't actually meet our hosts, but they checked in with us during our visit. Would definitely recommend."
46929,2225656,2012-09-07,718251,Carolyn,"My husband and I needed a place to recharge, but we didn't want to go too far away. Fortunately, I found Maze BnB.

Anthony met us when we arrived, and took us around the back to the suite, then showed us how everything worked, and where everything was. He was very cordial! 

The lock on the front door is a keypad, so there was no need to worry about losing keys. The suite was extremely comfortable, although the decor was rather bland, particularly for Austin, so if you're looking for funky decor, this isn't the place. However, it is absolutely spotlessly clean and the bathroom more than makes up for the lack of art. The Japanese soaking tub is big enough for two, although with just one, I was able to lie down with only a slight bend of my knees. The water was HOT and endless, which was a dream for me. I could have stayed under the dual head shower forever.

The sitting room has a small love seat and a chair, with another chair at the desk. There is a 26 inch LCD television, a stereo with CD player, and lots of books and magazines on Austin. The bedroom is perfect for a long-term stay, as there is a ton of storage, including a dresser and a long wall of closets. The architecture is very Zen, with high ceilings, lots of natural wood, and a ton of light. As a photographer, I was envious of the giant windows. However, they must be double pane, as the suite never got hot, even with all the direct sunlight.

The sheets were thick and smooth and heavenly. There were plenty of blankets, and there is a lamp with a plug and USB port for charging electronics. The suite includes a small dorm size refrigerator, perfect for chilling wine, beer, or water (which was kindly provided, with two bottles already waiting), or storing leftovers. A microwave sits atop the fridge, and a Senseo pod coffee maker is in the bathroom. There were typed instructions on how to use everything, which was greatly appreciated.

This is the perfect place to stay, very centrally located, and walking distance to Lake Austin (about five blocks). The neighborhood is upscale and very safe.

We will definitely be back, and I have already recommended Maze BnB to all of my friends. If you stay here, you will not regret it! 



"
46929,2252857,2012-09-10,1548419,Elizabeth,"Susan was amazing about staying in touch with us before and during our visit, and we were extremely comfortable here. As a bonus, the soaking tub was particularly delightful for my toddler daughter--it blew her mind--a bath she could stand up in! Our rooms were spotless and the light was gorgeous. We'd love to stay again. "
46929,2308888,2012-09-17,1627252,Aarin,"Me and a friend came to Austin for the weekend and couldn't be any happier with our choice to sta at Susan's. The place was wonderful, super clean, and comfortable bed. Very nice  neighborhood with beautiful views. We took taxis out at night and only cost $10 down to 6th st. If I'm ever back in Texas would defiantly go back and stay with Susan"

The apartment is in a great location and Susan goes above and beyond to make sure her guests are comfortable and have everything they need.  Easy to communicate with and always very responsive. Highly recommend! 
46929,2828929,2012-11-07,2412796,Teresa,"Met with a dear friend for several days in Austin. I found Susan's apartment on Airbnb - read all of the great reviews and decided to book the apartment.  I traveled from Oregon and was not disappointed! Susan had every detail prepared in advance and her apartment was perfect for our stay.  This place is in a beautiful neighborhood and is close to Lake Austin and downtown.  Although there is a Senseo coffee maker provided, I had mentioned to her that I prefer a French Press.  Lo and behold, she provided one for me.  :)  When I requested an extra blanket, she gave me two.   I loved Austin and hope to return.  If I do, I will definitely return to Susan's!   "
46929,2863517,2012-11-12,3744844,Ros,"We had a lovely experience staying in this apartment. The accommodation was clean, comfy and spacious. Situated on a lovely quiet street, it is easily accessible to downtown attractions as well. We'll be back!"
46929,2893028,2012-11-15,4090659,Diana,"What a lovely place to 'come home to' after a day's work.  Very calm, roomy, clean, warm and welcoming.  Lovely couple and lovely home.  Thanks so very much! "
46929,2925475,2012-11-20,2585457,Lisa,"I cannot say enough wonderful things about Susan and her family, and the room they have available on Airbnb. This was our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn't have gone smoother. They were extremely polite, had excellent communication, and were understanding and flexible when one of the two of us could not make it out. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, well appointed with a mini fridge and coffee maker, among other things. Access around the side and in back was easy and private. The Tarrytown location is close enough to public transportation and other parts of Austin, yet a nice quiet neighborhood. A great getaway at any time, for any reason. We would recommend Susan's place to friends and would definitely return should I go to Austin again.
"
46929,2966808,2012-11-26,3901165,Uva,"The apartment was lovely, comfortable, clean and modern. My grandmother especially loved the neighborhood because of all the large, interesting houses.  Susan was really thoughtful and communicative.  I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and frankly, don't know why anyone would want to pay 2 or 3 times as much to stay in a hotel...
"
46929,4440446,2013-05-05,5866449,Janice,"this is in a great Austin neighborhood West of MoPac and convenient to downtown. the guest space is cozy, clean and contemporary. there is a separate parking spot and guest entrance. the hosts are very accessible and accomodating. one of the best things about this place is the neighborhood; only a few blocks from Lake Austin and within walking distance to a waterfront coffee and breakfast place; would definitely stay here again."
46929,4603025,2013-05-14,6137498,Bob,"Susan and anthony are the perfect hosts. they were helpful on
every level.  The apt. was great. It had all the comforts of home.
A very beautiful neighborhood only blocks away from Lady Bird
Lake with fine casual dining on the Lake. We will definitely stay there again when returning to Austin  Bob & Layne"
46929,4681546,2013-05-20,5894366,Suzanne,Excellent place to stay for your visit to Austin.  The lodgings were immaculate and the coffee delicious.  
46929,4863681,2013-05-29,6166469,Julie,"Another great Airbnb experience! The apartment was very clean, spacious, modern and comfortable. The location is a very short distance from all site seeing activities and local bars. 

Susan is an excellent host and very quick to provide responses to any questions or accomodations my friend and I needed. I would highly recommend renting this apartment and would absolutely come back next time I visit Austin. "
46929,5459765,2013-07-01,2896942,Joel,Nice and cozy little attached apartment in Terrytown. Susan was very accommodating and friendly. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend it!
46929,5566951,2013-07-06,2428003,Miles & Michelle,"Awesome place! Incredibly clean, spacious, and comfortable. The hosts were very friendly offering us maps and restaurant guides for the area. This is a perfect place to crash while exploring Austin - minutes from Downtown, UT, and the Lake."
46929,5666097,2013-07-10,7135136,Margaret,"We could not have asked for a better experience with airbnb.
Susan was a great host. Although we never met face to face, I know that would have been possible at any time. She made sure that everything was smooth, directions and access to apartment, privacy, cleanliness, little warm details...and some cold, like the 1/2 and 1/2 in the little frig for coffee!
The aparment has a very European feel to it, great windows, smooth surfaces, lots of wood and tile. Easy parking, three easy miles to downtown, beautiful and quiet neighborhood.
We hated to leave Austin and hated to leave the peacefullness of Susan's place. Thank you!
GREAT bed!"
46929,5802005,2013-07-16,7447243,William,Second time I've stayed here. Very peaceful and the place is great. Susan is a wonderful host. I would stay here every time I come to Austin. 
46929,6142530,2013-07-31,7755741,Jorge,"For our first time using Airbnb, my wife and I could not have asked for a better experience. The apartment is exceptionally clean, spacious, and comfortable. Susan and Anthony were accommodating from start to finish. The location, serenity and peacefulness of their place rates 5 STAR PLUS. There was even a Nespresso machine in the room and now I’m hooked!  Susan stayed in touch throughout our stay and was attentive to our questions. Anthony made himself available in person in case we had questions about places to eat, visit, etc. At the last minute, we extended our reservation and Susan practically walked us through the entire process. I would highly recommend renting from Susan and Anthony.  They have certainly set the bar pretty high for our next airbnb stay. We will be back!"
46929,6355846,2013-08-09,7660968,Rosie,"My boyfriend and I stayed in Susan's impeccably clean back house for 2 nights in the middle of the week. It was our first ever AirBnB stay and I must say we were thoroughly impressed! Susan and her family were very accommodating, and left us with plenty of towels, linens, nespresso coffees, and even a couple of cold ones in the fridge! It was my first time in Austin, and when (not if) I come back we would definitely like to come back! Thanks so much. "
46929,6570738,2013-08-17,401872,Maria,"We had a wonderful experience at Susan's place. She was very attentive and thoughtful to our needs. Prior to our trip she sent me detailed information about the place and places around (buses info, info about specifics about the house etc). Her place is super neat and pretty. If you're looking for a pleasant experience in Austin, I totally recommend Susan's place. Also, the restaurant by the lake are awesome (walking distance from her house). "
46929,6697882,2013-08-21,5140076,Paul And Paige,"Susan was a great host. Even though she was out of town during our stay, she checked in with us regularly to make sure our stay was perfect. The apartment was very comfortable and in a great location. Downtown is only a few minutes away. We would definitely stay here again."
46929,6824279,2013-08-26,7998509,Kyle,"We found the apartment to be even better than we expected -- plenty of space, a beautiful bathroom, and centrally located in Austin.  Susan was such a great host. She gave us all the information we needed and checked in with us without being intrusive.  We would definitely stay at her place again."
46929,6946523,2013-08-31,365239,Jenny,"I did not stay with Susan, but rather set the trip up for my husband and young adult son. I heard the experience was very positive. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and the apartment was lovely and very convenient. Certainly my dealings with Susan to set things up before the trip were very easy."
46929,7074682,2013-09-05,8165790,Laura Isabel,"Our stay with Susan was absolutely relaxing! I picked the house based off of the photos and the descriptions, and it was exactly what I needed! I was looking for tranquility and peace and quiet, and Susan's little back house was perfect. My friend and I took a vacation to Austin to eat, explore outside, and rest and relax a little bit, and we got it all! Susan and her husband were so welcoming and provide their guests with all sorts of great extras - from bottles of water to bug repellant. I will find an excuse to go back to Austin and stay again! "
46929,7251560,2013-09-13,718307,Carolee,"This was one of the nicest places I have stayed. Everything I could have possibly needed was provided, including very kind service. Amazing neighborhood and comfortable bed. I plan to stay here again. "
46929,7372014,2013-09-17,6244618,Marlee,"My family and I had a lovely, comfortable stay while at Susan's home in Tarrytown. The neighborhood is really beautiful, quiet, and close enough to where you want to be. The four of us enjoyed our stay in the guest home and can't wait to go back. The sofa bed for two is super comfortable and more than enough room! The bathroom is five star and Susan goes above and beyond to leave towels, soaps, shampoos and necessities for guests. We loved that touch. Thanks Susan!"
46929,7425511,2013-09-19,6432139,Jacob,Susan's property is located in a lovely neighborhood in a very convenient location and the room itself is drastically undersold here. I was very very pleased and I will book this room whenever it is available for my Austin visits. 
46929,7459130,2013-09-21,7977873,Cheryl,"Susan is a lovely host and the Tarrytown apt was perfect for my two day stay in Austin on business.  Perfect location, clean, easy access and in a terrific neighborhood.  I will look to book this apt when Im in Austin on future trips.....Highly recommended!!

46929,7666917,2013-09-29,5196982,Lynette,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin at Susan's wonderful Tarrytown Apartment. We felt as though we were staying at an upscale resort retreat with the very comfy bed and fantastic bathroom. The Japanese style soaking tub was HEAVEN. Susan also provided lots of thoughtful amenities and was very communicative and flexible. When we visit Austin again, we would stay at the Tarrytown Apartment again in a heartbeat."
46929,7776585,2013-10-02,8640138,Mark,"Susan's Tarrytown apartment was perfect for my wife and I. It was spacious and clean, with lots of windows, but good privacy and well supplied with the necessities. Off street parking, safe walking neighborhood, several restaurants within a few blocks and easy access to the main highways made this a very convenient location for us. It took us less than 10 minutes to get downtown for our event. Susan was great to work with, easy to reach and prompt in responding to our needs. We'll definitely call when we're heading back to Austin."
46929,8277076,2013-10-23,8587194,Edmund,"We had a wonderful stay at Susan's apartment.  It was beautifully appointed, private, comfortable, and quiet.  Our host was very helpful with suggested nearby restaurants and things to do in Austin.  Susan's apartment was convenient to both the Lakeway area, where our son and family live, and to downtown Austin. We would like to stay again on future visits to Austin."
46929,8442981,2013-10-31,8363508,Daniel,"A B&B without the B?  No Problem!

Susan Maze’s beautiful accommodations more than make up for not having breakfast.  Plus you get more than just a bedroom . . . your own private entrance, a lovely separate sitting room with WiFi, TV, microwave and small refrigerator and a Nespresso machine that brews delicious coffee.  There is a large bedroom with queen bed, lots of closet space, and a super bathroom that has an amazing shower and a huge soaking tub.

So don’t worry you won’t be getting breakfast.  Brew yourself a cup of Nespresso and head out for whatever you want.  You are minutes away from breakfast tacos, lunch tacos, dinner tacos, beef brisket BBQ and all the other wonderful food Austin has to offer.  

This was our first time using airbnb and we were absolutely delighted with our experience and can recommend Susan Maze’s place with confidence.
"
46929,8532581,2013-11-04,5718581,Tyler,"Susan and her family were the most hospitable hosts I have ever dealt with. The apartment was very clean, in a wonderful neighborhood 5 minutes from everything in Austin. The room had all the amenities of a hotel but with way better service. Susan and her husband Anthony were always quick to offer help or advice and were very attentive and yet completely unobtrusive. The apartment had a separate entrance so I never felt like I was bothering them coming or leaving. Bathroom was gorgeous and the Japanese style tub was very relaxing. This was my first airbnb experience and I cannot express how pleased I was. At one point in the trip, we had left one of the lights on in our vehicle and Susan and her husband noticed and sent me a text to check it out, preventing us from having a dead battery in the morning. Tell me what hotel is going to give you that kind of service?!! I cannot say thank you enough for having Susan and her family have us stay, I hope to go back and do it again soon."
46929,8684580,2013-11-12,3236430,Rachel,"I can't say enough positive things about Susan and Anthony's hospitality and the great space that they provided for my girlfriends and I during our yoga trip to Austin.  Susan, Anthony, the kids, and the dog Mikah are wonderful!!  The room is extremely clean, both beds are extremely comfortable and the shower with the temperature adjuster to your preference is AWESOME.  The room has its own heating/cooling thermostat, which was really nice to be able to control the temperature.  Their house is in a really cute neighborhood and close to Mozart's Coffee House (which we highly recommend especially while the Christmas lights are up!).  I hope I have an opportunity to stay with them again and would recommend their house to anyone looking for a fantastic experience in Austin!"
46929,8756870,2013-11-16,718307,Carolee,This is my second time staying at the apartment. It's very charming & includes all possible accoutrements. Very sweet hosts. Love it!
46929,8779261,2013-11-18,7966036,Mary,"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Our hosts provided all the information we needed for a comfortable stay, including suggestions for nearby restaurants. The neighborhood is wonderful- very peaceful. We highly recommend this rental. It's proximity to downtown and the lake can't be beat!"
46929,8859820,2013-11-22,4701690,Alexandra,"Seriously, it was by far the best airbnb experience I've ever had. Everything was comfortable, super clean, and well thought out. From yummy scented candles to different thickness of pillows-it was perfect. 

It was hard to leave and I can't wait to come back. "
46929,8991780,2013-12-01,1918733,Gabriela,"Susan's guest apartment is fantastic! Fresh, comfortable and well-apportioned, including extra touches like cream for tea and coffee and bathroom essentials (shampoo, conditioner, hairdryer) that make traveling so much easier. Beautiful neighborhood that is perfect for relaxing. She was a complete delight - we would definitely stay here again!"
46929,10920481,2014-03-13,5158894,Muireann,"We recently stayed in Susan and Anthony's beautiful apartment in Tarrytown.  A lovely neighbourhood, cosy accommodation and fantastic hosts who went above and beyond by providing us with bikes and lifts when unexpected torrents of rain landed on us from the Texan skies!  Little touches like the provision of snacks and toiletries ensured that the apartment felt like a little home from home.  Would recommend to a friend for sure.  And Austin is a fantastic spot to visit, so that helps too. :)"
46929,11022720,2014-03-17,7862830,Jenny,Susan's apartment is perfect. It's very comfortable and conveniently located. I loved waking up and seeing the beautiful trees on Susan's property. Susan and her husband were extremely helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend her home. We truly enjoyed staying there and felt very comfortable the entire time. Thank you!!
46929,11081245,2014-03-19,12773517,Austin,Could not ask for better hosts or place to stay. The place is very clean and the location is great and is in a very nice neighborhood. Would stay here again.
46929,11155637,2014-03-23,5750046,Ada Mae,"This is a great place to stay. It is  very convenient, practical and attractive. The hosts are right there is you need anything. The neighbor hood is lovely.  I would definitely stay there again. 
"
46929,11249165,2014-03-26,12669350,Heather,"Staying at Susan and Anthony's guest apartment was perfect. Close to the Tarrytown and Downtown locations we needed to be near and a lovely little getaway in a beautiful neighborhood. The apartment had everything we wanted for a weekend in Austin. Very comfortable and really cute. So much better than a hotel! 
I appreciated all of the well thought out details in the space and how helpful and communicative Anthony and Susan were with any questions and what Austin has to offer. 

 "
46929,11289033,2014-03-28,446433,Jocelyn,"I am definitely a satisfied customer.  It was a wonderful stay at Susan and Anthony's unit.  Although, I did not have an opportunity to meet Susan I did meet Anthony upon arrival.  Susan is exceptional at communicating and it made for an easy check in.  Their home is located in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood.  It's an easy 10 minute drive to Congress Ave in downtown.  Their in law unit is perfect.  Susan stocked it to the nines!!!  Plenty of extra towels and extra blankets.  There is a Nepresso maker and even a half and half stocked in the mini fridge.  The sheets must be 1000 TC or more because I slept like a baby.  The pullout was very comfortable as well.  I loved loved loved Susan's space and definitely hope to return.  "
46929,11395500,2014-04-01,11210261,Melissa,"Perfect spot for an Austin weekend. The apartment had everything we needed. It was super clean and tidy with a great bed and plenty of spots to unpack. Also, lots of windows to take in the sunshine! I really enjoyed the small touches like organic cream and fizzy water in the fridge as well as the local Austin honey. The neighborhood is super cute and just minutes from downtown. We really couldn't have asked for more!"
46929,11492870,2014-04-05,13187253,Jackie,"This was the perfect place to stay for my business trip. I felt comfortable from the start. They've thought of everything to make getting and staying here easy and convenient. There was even Half and Half and a variety of drinks waiting for me. What I loved is that there was none of the ""preciousness"" of a lot of BnBs. Just a tasteful, well thought out and comfortable place. Everything little thing I hoped was there (corkscrew, for example!) was provided. They gave me my space, but were available whenever I needed anything. This was a hectic week, so I looked forward to coming home to Susan and Anthony's Airbnb every night. Especially since they made sure there was space to park in the driveway. That was a sweet and unexpected detail. Thank you, and I will be back. "
46929,11585977,2014-04-08,5033332,Jane,"This place is FANTASTIC !!! Even though we did have a chance to meet Susan, she was amazing about staying in touch with us before and during our visit. The place was wonderful, super clean, and comfortable bed. Everything is thought out very carefully for the comfortable stay. Very nice and quiet neighborhood with beautiful views. We would be happy to have a chance to stay again and would highly recommend this place."
46929,11677656,2014-04-11,1482153,Mike,"This place is AWESOME!!! Susan is beyond nice, helpful and prompt with any and all communication.  Anthony came out and introduced himself to us as well one morning when we were heading out...very nice as well.  The location is perfect...if you're interested in sitting on a patio and having dinner/drinks/happy hours overlooking Lake Austin (Hula Hut, Able's on the Lake, etc...).  And if you're not interested in that, well.........  

The actual room was much better than I was expecting.  It's very nice and has everything you would need.  Mini-fridge, microwave, computer desk and chair, Wi-Fi, etc...the sitting room is nice, the bedroom is very nice...the bathroom is awesome.  Come to think about it, everything about the place is awesome! 

My girlfriend and I were in Austin for 3 nights and the first night stayed at an Extended Stay and it sucked.  Luckily they overbooked our room and we were able to find this place.  We booked it for two nights and the experience was flat out perfect!  

The only problem with this place is that it is booked a lot, including this week and we are heading back down there for business.  So book in advance...we sure will! "
46929,12185513,2014-04-25,12899996,Kimberly,"This space was wonderful; luxurious, relaxing and very private. Susan is prompt and kind and made our stay very convenient and comfy. "
46929,12335636,2014-04-29,8373695,Oyuki,"The Tarrytown apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin; close enough to the action but far enough from the busy downtown. The apartment itself was modern, clean, comfortable and overall well appointed. Hosts were friendly and attentive. The beautiful neighborhood is also worth exploring. Highly recommended!!!"
46929,12477323,2014-05-03,14816826,Jessie,"A beautiful little hide-out, close to town. So happy I had the privilege of staying at this place! Susan and her family were great. Amazingly hospitable. Thanks! "
46929,12554262,2014-05-05,13779810,April,"Susan's apartment was great! It was a wonderful weekend with my friends, and I couldn't have asked for a better host. The apartment was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need. It was clean, there is tons of room, towels and linens provided... it was definitely an awesome experience. We came to Austin for a surprise proposal/surprise engagement party for my best friend, and the apartment was in the perfect location for us (near Lake Austin... where the party was). I would highly recommend Susan and her apartment. What a great (and first time) experience!"
46929,12698946,2014-05-08,14324676,Inge,Amazing hosts and great place to stay! If you want to be by the water it is walking distance. Anthony and Susan were great hosts and very welcoming. They really make you feel at home and very accommodating. The room is the perfect size and great for a weekend getaway or for a week or longer. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to be close to town lake and downtown. Wonderful place!
46929,12930908,2014-05-14,330347,Adrienne,"We had a perfect stay at Susan and Anthony's home. They were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. Wonderful communication and they checked in with us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. The space was spotless and comfortable with a fabulous shower and tub, the bed and sofa bed were wonderfully comfortable and the linens were heavenly.  

The location is  in a quite beautiful residential neighborhood with lovely old live oaks that we even got to see a screech owl hanging out in. Their home is conveniently  located in central Austin which is close all of Austin's unique spots.
We are already dreaming of staying with them again on our next visit to Austin.
Adrienne"
46929,13020306,2014-05-17,1716107,Daniel,"We had a great stay here, Susan was very helpful and communication were clear and helpful. Don't miss the tub! "
46929,13431161,2014-05-27,8856826,Nadine,"We had a great time staying with Susan and Anthony in their beautiful apartment! Anthony was there to greet us and show us the ropes, which was awesome! The apartment itself is beautiful - much nicer than our own home! The concrete floors are wonderful, high ceilings make the place seem extra spacious, and the bathroom is amazing - two shower heads! The bed is really comfortable, and there are plenty of extra pillows if you need them. The couch pulls out into a comfortable bed, and easily slides away in the morning which is convenient! There's also a really unique tub that my legs and feet appreciated after a night in heels at a wedding! Everything was super clean, tidy and beautifully finished - we did not want to leave! Susan checked in by text and email to make sure we had everything we needed. Location was perfect - basically walking distance to Hula Hut, Mozart's and Abel's on the Lake, and a quick cab ride to downtown through a beautiful neighborhood. We will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Austin! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
46929,13644220,2014-06-02,9637315,Lindsay,"Susan's little Tarrytown apartment was a dream! My family and I stayed here for four nights while we were in town for a wedding. It was a breeze to get into downtown Austin within a few minutes, but the home itself was secluded and quiet -- a gorgeous home in a fabulous neighborhood. The apartment is walking distance to Mozart's, a great little coffee shop on the water, and the neighborhood itself is really nice to walk around and check out. Susan was a wonderful and thoughtful host. She even left a huge box of toys in the apartment to keep our 2 year old occupied. Oh, and be sure to take advantage of the Japanese soaking tub at least once... what a luxury! Susan's apartment will definitely be our ""go-to"" place anytime we visit Austin. "
46929,13881686,2014-06-07,14323705,Elena,"This apartment is exactly as it looks -- charming, comfortable, and serene. It's perfect for two people or a small family. It's also very thoughtfully put together and decorated. I jogged every morning around the neighborhood and that was a real treat getting to see the Austin style in all its architectural and landscaping permutations. It's easy to find and easy to get around, but also a nice retreat after a long day. The owners are wonderfully helpful and responsive. What a incredible welcoming experience in Austin! Thank you so much Susan and Anthony!"
46929,13946084,2014-06-09,8165790,Laura Isabel,"My second time staying in the Tarrytown Apt - and it was just as exceptional as the first time! Extra water bottles in the fridge were a nice touch, as it was summer in Austin. Susan was a wonderful hostess, as always. "
46929,14111147,2014-06-12,2611796,Gabriel,"We have spent four nights in this wonderful place being hosted by Anthony & Susan, who were extremely attentive and close to ideal hosts. The apartment has very nice modern design we prefer, with lots of windows. Absolutely our top place by now with AirBnB. We will definitively return for our trips to Austin."
46929,14210974,2014-06-14,16532995,Becky,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I could not have asked for a better one. The little apartment in the back of the house was very clean and had everything I needed - AC, internet, cable and a comfy bed. I really liked the decor inside as well - from the quilted bedspread to the beautiful painting above the bed. There are lots of window to let in the light (which I loved), and also some heavy duty curtains to block out the light (which my boyfriend loved because he was working at night and had to sleep during the day). 

I also really liked the location. The apartment is situated in a quiet neighborhood 3 miles from downtown Austin and a short walk to the Colorado River. There are restaurants within walking distance down by the water. 

Susan was a wonderful and courteous host. She was patient and helpful while I was trying to figure out how to set up my Airbnb account to book the place.  When I had questions she was prompt in communicating with me. She even made sure I was aware of a storm warning that was in effect while I was staying there. As a host, I felt like Susan thought of everything a guest would need. There were ear plugs by the bed, water bottles in the fridge, a list of restaurant recommendations in the area, magazines, and a Nespresso machine (heck yeah!!!). There is also an awesome tub in the bathroom, which I didn't end up using this time around, but would if I stay there again.

I'm so glad we stayed here instead of a hotel. If I am ever back in Austin I would definitely stay here again!

46929,15416482,2014-07-08,16418941,S,"Our first airbnb adventure. First of many to come. Susan and Anthony were great to answer any questions.....most before we asked. Great place to stay, so much better than a hotel IMO. Neighborhood is charming and so close to the lake and eats and what's happening. We acted like introverts and S&A ""let us be"". Had we wanted interaction I know they would've obliged as well. Yes....I know these things. Spotted bikes in the yard that I will hope to ride to the river next time. This was such fun to stay in Austin and have our kids come to ""our place"" for a change. Thanks for a great experience in a beautiful place. "
46929,15546985,2014-07-11,17078076,Michael,"My wife and I had a wonderful time in Austin with our AirBnB host.  We felt comfortable, very important to me during travel.  We had easy communication with host and hope to stay with them again when we visit Austin in the future.  A great location with quick connection to downtown Austin.  The room and amenities were exactly as described.  Every positive thing that other reviewers have offered must be true because we had a great experience. "

46929,16096851,2014-07-22,16440378,Alexander,"What a great little place! I spent 5 nights here with a friend, and the hosts were very nice. Susan and her husband are wonderful people, and their cozy apartment was perfect for my extended stay. As a first timer on Airbnb, I definitely would recommend this for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay, not too far from downtown Austin. Would recommend over and over again, if only it were possible. "
46929,16482455,2014-07-28,17219154,Rachael,"This is such a beautiful home in a wonderful neighborhood. The hosts, Susan and Anthony, are very welcoming. I would recommend this place to any individuals or couples wanting to visit Austin. "

There is a great coffee shop nearby and it offers smooth access to anyplace in the city you go. The bathroom and shower are luxury, the internet works great, and the bed is comfortable. I will look forward to another visit and recommend it to anyone who is considering it. The hosts were great too, always attentive to my needs, and considerate. It's private, it's comfortable, and it over delivers on what it promises."
46929,16898674,2014-08-04,14033888,Oscar,"The place was lovely and homey. Although it's a small place, its perfect for two people or even four. The beds are both very comfortable, so comfortable that we decided to sleep on the couch bed because of how comfortable it was. We didn't get a chance to meet Susan, but she made sure we knew she was available if we ever needed anything and she answered text messages almost instantly. Loved the place, will definitely book again when we go back to Austin. "
46929,17242886,2014-08-09,10914734,Tina,Greg and I enjoyed our stay with Susan so much. Just the right balance of privacy and communication.  We are completing the construction of our living space and couldn't have found a better spot.
46929,17836697,2014-08-18,13743833,Kristina,"We had a great time at Susan's place. The location was awesome and close to downtown and many other attractions.

Definitely would stay here again. "
46929,18145755,2014-08-22,14331715,Derrick,"This is my second stay in Susan's apartment. I went back because it has everything I look in travel accommodations. It is comfortable and unique, the hosts are genuinely concerned and fully available, and the location is perfect. I highly recommend this place to all. I travel to Austin regularly, and once I found this gem I couldn't imagine finding anyplace better. "
46929,18756663,2014-08-31,20241822,Parisa,"Susan was a great host, providing us with everything we needed and more and was very friendly. Her apartment was the perfect size for the 4 of us and was in the perfect location. DT, Barton springs, Mt.Bonnell were all just a short distance. Definitely will be coming back! "
46929,19526172,2014-09-14,19001575,Katherine,"The host was great! Made us feel very welcome and like we could ask for anything, which we did when we forgot an umbrella on a very rainy day. The espresso machine an the bathroom made the place extra special! The bed was a little smaller than we would have liked but overall the place was very nice. The trees and all the windows made us feel like we were in the middle of the woods! Loved it! Thank u!"
46929,19828485,2014-09-19,3962926,Kate,"We had a wonderful stay at the Maze's apartment in Austin! It was perfectly located, right by one of our favorite places - Mozart's on the river. It's a gorgeous neighborhood and the apartment was much bigger than it appeared to be in the photos. Everything was impeccable, down to the Nespresso machine, which I looked forward to every morning. I could not have asked for a better stay!"
46929,20126646,2014-09-23,19096913,Troy,"This place has it all...location, finishes, amenities.  Although attached to the house, the apartment is very private with separate entrance. High ceilings and large windows created spacious effect. The hosts allowed me to borrow a bike and offered their charging cables...very accommodating. Highly recommended!"
46929,20202865,2014-09-25,8333944,David,"Susan and Anthony were so kind! The place is perfect for a couple, small family or two couples. A great weekend getaway spot! The bathroom is incredible and the highlight of the apartment! Sadly I had to leave early for a family emergency and Susan was so gracious and understanding! I greatly appreciate their kindness and hospitality! "
46929,20365673,2014-09-28,4677684,Anna,"Loved staying here!  Not only was the apartment super cute and comfortable, Susan was the best host I've ever had on airbnb.  She was extremely helpful when I was planning my trip and very repsonsive to texts and e-mails.  She even sent me a text after I arrived just to be sure everything was ok and asking whether I needed anything. 
The apartment is behind the house and so is super quiet - no road noise at all which is a nice break from what I hear in Houston!  The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is really neat!!  There were plenty of toiletries, towels, etc. available.  I felt right at home and got some great sleep while I was there.  Great place!!!  Oh, and being born and raised in Austin, I can say that this is one of the best neighborhoods in the city. "
46929,20734710,2014-10-05,15444168,Chelsea,"Susan was great and very accommodating! We had some last minute parking accommodations that I should have checked on prior, but it was no problem and was situated quickly! Truly couldn't have asked for a better first Air BnB experience! Would certainly recommend and return :) "
46929,20927729,2014-10-07,21403042,John,"The place was great, super clean, bright and nice in a fantastic location. Check in was easy and Susan kept us notified about when it was ready for us to show up. Would definitely stay here again. We loved being able to walk to the coffee shop on the lake for a snack! "
46929,21122303,2014-10-12,16200566,Nir,Our stay at Susan's was perfect. The neighborhood is a beautiful one. We even saw a deer in one of the backyards and the squirrels came every morning to our window. The apartment is exactly as it is described and way cozier than how it looks. 
46929,21510149,2014-10-19,19704893,Jessica,Enjoyed our stay for the weekend at this Tarrytown apartment. Perfect amount of space for 2 people. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and it was close to everywhere we needed to be for the weekend. The bath is heavenly and very much appreciated the black-out curtains for sleeping in! Perfect amount of both privacy and communication from our hosts. 
46929,21763134,2014-10-23,22086675,Natalie,"Our stay at Susan's was great. She and her family were very helpful . The location was a short drive to most places, however as there is no kitchen facilities you have to go out every time you want to eat. Best suited to a couples overnight stay."
46929,21881500,2014-10-26,8592495,Jeff,"My wife and I were in Austin for a wedding and spent two nights here.
The accommodations were wonderful, very comfortable and quiet. The house is in a very pleasant residential neighborhood  with lots of trees, great for walking. It is about a 10 to 15 minute drive from downtown.
The apartment is new and very well appointed with a TV, small refrigerator and an Nespresso machine! All in all, a great place to stay!"
46929,22085541,2014-10-29,22771319,Christina,"Susan's guest house was amazing!  Much nicer than staying in a hotel.  We had more then everything we needed there.  Everything was very clean and there was a ton of space.  They provided one parking space for you in their driveway and were always available if we needed anything.  We had a living room with a TV, refridgerator with water, creamer, and flavored sparkling water,  a little table, nespresso machine, separate bedroom, plenty of extra linens, pillows, and towels, and a really nice bathroom.  Private entrance to the guest house is around the back of the house.  The neighborhood is really nice and only 5 minutes from downtown Austin.  Would def stay there again."
46929,22287937,2014-11-03,6159591,Annette,"Susan and Anthony were very welcoming and helpful and their apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. The neighbourhood was lovely and quiet and we were delighted with all the trees and squirrels considering how close it was to the city.  Susan and Anthony directed us to all the places we needed to find and they advised us when we had any queries.  Their apartment is just as described and we recommend it highly especially the Japanese style bath tub which was very relaxing at the end of our very busy days in Austin. We certainly hope to re-visit Austin as there is so much to see and do and we wouldn't have to look any further than this lovely apartment for our accommodation.  Thank you so much, Susan and Anthony for hosting us and for your kindness throughout our visit we hope to meet you again very soon."
46929,22462461,2014-11-07,22362224,Janet,"Susan and Anthony are gracious hosts, regularly checking in to make sure all is well. We really appreciated their flexibility to let us move in early. Their guest quarters -- in one of Austin's nicest neighborhoods -- are comfortable, quiet and private. "
46929,22529640,2014-11-09,1822649,Christien,"I really enjoy the boutique hotel experience, and Susan and Anthony have created a space with all the perks of a boutique hotel but with the added advantage of being in a very lovely, quiet neighborhood. I did need to ask some questions/ request something, and the communication was always fast and helpful. My request was accommodated, no problem. I'm not sure a hotel would have done so. Here are some of the things I loved: the Japanese bath (the entire bathroom was sparkly clean), the sheets, the above and beyond comfy mattress, and the supply of ear plugs (I was attending a music fest). The walk around to the apartment reminded me a bit of a spa I've been to in New Mexico, even with the faintest, most relaxing sound of crickets."
46929,22985461,2014-11-19,430243,Dana,"My husband and I had a wonderful experience at Susan and Anthony's apartment.  Everything was as described, even better actually!  The best thing about our experience was the level of communication Susan puts forth. She was a great resource for navigating Austin.  She really knows the area well.  The room was very clean, and professionally presented.  You can tell that they take renting out their space seriously and treat it in a very professional manner which I really appreciated.  You get safety, security and privacy and would recommend Susan and Anthony's place to anyone.  "
46929,23293023,2014-11-28,19927795,Jenna Hays,"Susan was terrific about communicating with me from the minute we booked her place to the moment my parents checked out. Everything was just as advertised; the place was comfortable, roomy, cute.  My mother said, ""I could live here full time!""  "
46929,27534301,2015-03-07,7296927,Phil,"Amazing house in a beautiful neighbourhood! Definitely a boutique hotel feel, with the personal touch. The hosts were extremely helpful and responded to messages quickly. They even provided some toys for our kids, without being asked. The bath is the crowning glory - the perfect way to relax at the end of a day out. Highly recommended."
46929,27656015,2015-03-09,6115077,Damien,"We had a wonderful stay with Susan and Anthony.  Very clean, very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood.  Everything we needed for a perfect stay.  Easy access to downtown and all the attractions.  Also, some restaurants are just a short walk away on the river.  Anthony suggested a great restaurant: ""Casa de Luz"", which we tried and enjoyed very much.  We highly recommend this place if you are visiting Austin, we will surely be back."
46929,28124784,2015-03-18,9630369,Angelo,We had a great stay at Susan's place. Great neighbourhood and close to downtown. Really good place to chill after a busy day. Susan was also very thoughtful in asking us how we were doing.
46929,28318071,2015-03-22,15716353,Elisa,"Susan was a wonderful host! We were in town for SXSW for the first time and she answered all of my (many) questions when we booked, checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything and really made us feel welcomed. The apartment was perfect for our needs. We loved the mini fridge to store our snacks and drinks and the coffee machine was great for morning pick me up's. Both the bed and pull-out couch were very comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful! We would definitely stay with Susan again and highly recommend the apartment."
46929,28667028,2015-03-28,4589347,Jack,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and it was fantastic. The place was very clean and was true to the posted pictures. The apartment was stocked with coffee and tea supplies (including a nespresso machine) and the bathroom had all the toiletries that we had forgotten to bring. The neighborhood is a very quiet and cute one, and is only a short walk away from restaurants on the lake. Great place to unwind and relax. Highly recommended. "
46929,29411291,2015-04-07,7554120,Linda,"Susan and Anthony were wonderful hosts and stayed in touch with us by text messages.  They were very interested in helping out in any way possible and their accommodations are first rate.  Their apartment is located in a lovely area just west of downtown Austin.  It was especially convenient for us as our daughter lives near by.  Even so it was a wonderful place to relax and put our feet up every afternoon!  We loved staying with them and will be back.
"

We would wholeheartedly recommend staying with them!"

I would definitely stay there again, the privacy was wonderful, and it was a great place to go at the end of  a hectic day. "
46929,32688893,2015-05-20,15097772,Tiffanie,We had a wonderful stay at Susan's place during our stay in Austin! The house is located just west of downtown in the Tarrytown neighborhood which is absolutely beautiful! Susan was great and provided all the info we needed for an easy check-in. The guest house was wonderful. It was spacious and super clean packed with plenty amenities to make our stay comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was like a mini-spa. There was also a parking spot for us in the driveway which was a nice bonus. We would definitely stay here again during our next visit to Austin!
46929,33083651,2015-05-25,22618220,Rich,Thank you Susan and Anthony for a wonderful stay.

46929,33610303,2015-05-30,27074127,Shanna,"The apartment was as pictured-- the best part was the bathroom!  The Japanese style bathtub was fantastic to return to after a day out in town.  The unit is not free-standing, it is the back section of a larger home with a separate entrance.

During my stay, I walked around the neighborhood which was quiet and quaint, lined with lovely homes and a couple parks a little ways away.  

Susan was a very sweet and responsive host; she provided a list of things to do/see during my time in Austin and was timely with her correspondence."
46929,34539626,2015-06-09,16426658,Juliet,I love this place! I wish I could give this a very bad review so that nobody would ever rent it and I would always have a place to stay! :-)Clean plenty of space and privacy! Amazing bathroom! my new favorite place to stay whenever I am in Austin! love love this place!
46929,34733416,2015-06-11,34326138,Laurie,We had a wonderful time in Austin.  This was our first AirBnB experience and we were pleasantly surprised.  Our accommodations were wonderful and Susan was great with communicating all the details and making sure our visit was enjoyable.
46929,35368113,2015-06-18,15836323,Kim,"We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. There is a nice amount of space in the bedroom and adjoining room that has a dining table, love seat and desk. It was nice to have the refrigerator plus an espresso machine and half and half.  We were very comfortable there and enjoyed the privacy of the space with it's own entrance. 

Susan is very responsive and helpful if you have questions or want tips for exploring the area. 

Would recommend this spot. 
"

46929,36701209,2015-06-30,34870653,Tanya,This is a very comfortable place to stay in a great neighborhood.  The bathroom is amazing.  Susan was a welcoming host and provided helpful information and offered transportation assistance when I needed to get my car repaired.  This was my first time using airbnb. I was traveling with my teenage son and this lodging worked very well for us.

If I didn't just sign on a place in Austin I would stay here EVERY TIME. Everything you need and much much more. 
46929,38417909,2015-07-15,28128916,Maria,Susan was great and very welcoming. Her place is beautiful and was clean. We had a great time.
46929,38636007,2015-07-17,6488700,Christina,"Our best Airbnb experience to date! Susan and Anthony were so helpful from the very beginning. They gave us everything we needed including recommendations, a mini tour of the place and had every little detail prepared for us! I loved the fact that the key to the house was a code rather than an actual key -- good way to not have to worry about losing something while exploring Austin.
The house itself was super clean and had enough space to make you feel at home."
46929,38845871,2015-07-19,25813986,Gretchen,What another fabulous experience with Susan and Anthony . I would not stay anywhere else . They are the best . It is just like home !!!!
46929,39310252,2015-07-22,11635010,Charlotte,"The neighborhood was very nice, the location was very convenient and the accommodations were as pictured.  Aside from being spotlessly clean, there was a lot of attention to detail, which made our stay even more comfortable.  For example, there was a white noise machine as well as extremely comfortable pillows and extra towels.  She was also very accommodating-- she let us check in early after our red-eye flight, she offered (and brought us) beach towels to go to Barton Springs,  she gave us suggestions for things to do at our next stop (in San Antonio).  It was nice chatting with her; she made us feel very welcome, and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice, quiet, private place to stay in Austin."
46929,39973504,2015-07-27,163682,Shun,Susan is a fantastic host. Great communication. Lovely neighborhood. Short drive away from all the popular tourist sites. Highly  recommend!
46929,40484259,2015-07-31,13636662,Julie,Wonderful apartment tucked in a really neat neighborhood.  Susan had great communication even though she was out of town.  Comfortable bed with the nicests sheets I've ever slept on.  The walkin shower and japanese soaking tub were wonderful.

The amenities were perfect,  we especially loved the filtered water in the fridge.  The details of the decor are incredibly soothing and nurturing.  We felt very taken care of every minute. "
46929,41954157,2015-08-10,35221333,Phillip,"Susan made me feel welcome from the moment that my reservation was accepted, and that continued throughout my stay. Shortly after the reservation was confirmed I received the very comprehensive stay details that I needed to be prepared for my arrival and check-in. As I learned after I arrived, her description of the apartment was just as accurate as the online description and photos that were provided. Arrival and check-in was smooth and effortless, and the apt. had all of the amenities that one might expect and then some. From the Nespresso teas and coffees, flavored waters, microwave and refrigerator to the more than adequate toiletries, Susan seemed to have thought of everything that the traveler might need.  The unit was clean, the bed very comfortable, the air conditioning great even with 100-plus degree days. Located in a very pretty, quiet neighborhood, I won't hesitate to book here again.  Thanks to Susan and her husband for providing a true ""home away from home""."
46929,43073451,2015-08-17,37186386,Christy,"Susan was a great host! She and her family were very welcoming and always around to help.  Susan and her husband always gave us great suggestions on things to do and where to eat.  They even offered us a car ride, if needed. They also allowed us to borrow their bikes - huge plus. The apartment was a perfect size for my boyfriend and I and the Japanese tub was amazing!!We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great host in Austin! The apartment is west of downtown so it was usually a 30min- hour bus ride anywhere from downtown to south Congress(about a 10m walk to the bus). Renting a car is highly recommended, though we utilized uber as much as we could (about 9-12$ from downtown to the home). Thanks for having us, Susan! "
46929,44788812,2015-08-29,25813986,Gretchen,As always our stay with Susan and Anthony was wonderful. They always make everything perfect and welcoming. It is s treat!

Loved the fact that it was a licensed airbnb --my daughter settled us in while I was still flying in, and Susan was very helpful and informative!  This is going to be my private retreat spot every time I return to Austin!  A grown up space for grown up guests!  Just loved it!"

46929,45930895,2015-09-07,70826,Jenn,"Susan's Tarrytown apartment was perfect for a three night stay in Austin with my mom and sister. It was clean, comfortable and well located. The shower was great and the coffee/minifridge came in handy. 

Unfortunately I did not have a chance to meet Susan (other than a wave through the window when I was on my way out)...perhaps on another visit. "
46929,46800128,2015-09-13,40034239,Mark,"Place was really nice. The bathroom alone is worth the stay. The host were great!!
Would recommend highly "
46929,48279279,2015-09-25,8201083,Gayle,"Susan was an extraordinary host. The house is a beautiful contemporary home in a beautiful, leafy neighborhood filled with gorgeous homes. 

The unit itself is filled with very nice high-end linens. There are so many lovely touches:  decorating, having everything we needed at hand. We have stayed in many Airbnb locations, and Susan's may well be the very best we've experienced.

She sent extensive information about restaurants and things to do in Austin before we arrived so we could plan our time. If we return to Austin, we will stay with her again!"
46929,48608980,2015-09-27,21661260,Richard,Nice place in a quiet neighborhood. Would highly recommend.  Host was very helpful in making sure we were comfortable. 
46929,49910072,2015-10-07,43412896,Ann,"Susan responded to my reservation request immediately and filled me in on all of the details well before my arrival. She was also always available via email or text. The accommodations were very attractive, clean, comfortable, and soothing. The bed and pull out couch were comfortable. The Nespresso machine was a real treat in the mornings. The bathroom was large and beautiful with a large and soaker tub. The neighborhood was lovely and convenient to everything. My daughter and I had a wonderful three nights at Susan's place."
46929,50429473,2015-10-12,26628203,Mark,"Our stay in Austin couldn't have been better.  The place was charming, light filled and just as described.  The soaking tub and shower in the bathroom were a joy to use and I really appreciated the Nespresso machine. "
46929,51025667,2015-10-17,33453934,Lynn,"I had a great experience with Susan from beginning to end. Her communication was timely, clear, and comprehensive, which made my arrival problem-free. The space is as described and is very comfortable and quiet. I could occasionally hear the family, but was not disturbed at all. The location is great; it's not in the middle of everything, but everything is very accessible. I would absolutely book again. "
46929,51868772,2015-10-24,17681735,Hush,We enjoyed our stay! They are very nice and accommodating. The room was exactly as described and we would stay with them again in a heartbeat. 
46929,52319694,2015-10-28,7388184,Kathy,"We loved this place so much, we booked it again! Unit was better than photo. Super cute, great space for two and really well appointed. Nice quiet neighborhood. Architect designed house/guest suite. Owners were great. Perfectly attentive without being invasive. Did our laundry for us!! Nespresso machine, bananas and muffins for breakfast. Walking map of area. Can't think of one thing to improve, Nice job Susan and Anthony."
46929,52701695,2015-11-01,13998201,Margaret,"My family and I had a *wonderful* experience at Susan's Tarrytown home. The bathroom is AMAZING--granite countertops and the biggest tub you've ever seen. The bed and foldout couch were both cozy, and there were lots of extra blankets and towels. Susan has taken care of every detail, including amazing sheets, Epsom salts for the huge tub, bubble water in the fridge, microwave popcorn, blackout curtains in case you want to sleep late, etc. She even left a giant tub of Lego Duplos for our sons to play with, and we trick-or-treated at her house on Halloween. The neighborhood is quiet and well located. It's a very special place, and we will definitely be back! "
46929,53149034,2015-11-05,7388184,Kathy,Our second visit with Susan...great again!!
4571293,25340506,2015-01-12,3750548,Ashley,"The location and ease of working with Aaron was wonderful. I loved the area and felt like it was a great place from which to explore Austin.  I made a mistake with booking dates and Aaron was more than happy to work with me to fix my mistake.  Overall, we were very pleased with our trip."
4571293,25561427,2015-01-19,18209201,Jamie,"Aaron was very responsive and accommodating. We were close to restaurants, bars, etc. and could easily walk to many places. The location was above Zilker Park, which we walked through and around Town Lake for 5-mile walk. The space was great for 4 people, but being all girls we were fighting for space in the small mirror in the bathroom and we felt the apartment could use a deep clean throughout.  
"
4571293,25820267,2015-01-26,11513215,Matthew,"Aaron's apartment, in close proximity to zilker, was a pleasant last minute  booking for 3, 20 something year old guys. He was incredibly communicative and helpful during the process of getting in and settled. The apartment was incredibly spacious and pretty much exactly how I saw it in the booking photos. It was a great experience for a quick one night trip to Austin. Would definitely stay again. "
4571293,25917716,2015-01-29,24700869,Bill,"Aaron is a great host and happy to do whatever needed to make sure everything is working as expected. The location next to Zilker Park is fantastic. The apartment itself is definitely no-frills in terms of decoration, but it's a solid base for exploring a great city."
4571293,26695675,2015-02-17,26547842,Alex,"Great stay- excellent location, close to stuff but also a bit tucked away so good for a romantic weekend. Incredible proximity to Barton Springs and Zilker Park. Aaron was also a very courteous host- left travel guides in the apartment and made himself available. Would recommend to any solo travelers or couples. "
4571293,27448052,2015-03-04,26409741,Luke,Good apartment but out of season it's a bit quiet
4571293,27701892,2015-03-09,27320104,Chris,"My first airb&b experience and it was awesome. I didn't get to meet Aaron, but he was always available and responded super quick to any questions. Loft was as described in an awesome quiet neighborhood. Just a couple of blocks to the lady bird lake trail, I went on a 10 mile run there, a fun way to explore the city. Would definitely book again."
4571293,28072704,2015-03-17,9237933,Shawn,"Aaron was a great host, making extra room for our party of 4 - a little squeezy but totally worked out!"
4571293,28713490,2015-03-29,27493920,Dennyse,"Great location, ideal mix of quiet neighborhood feel with quick access to Zilker Park and excellent restaurants.  Austin is a great city and the location of this loft is just right.  Very friendly and helpful host.  Comfortable size for 2 visitors.  "
4571293,29242434,2015-04-05,30322450,Kyle,"Great location, great host. The space is as pictured and we enjoyed our stay. Very clean. Fresh towels and soap were on the bed when we arrived. The WiFi password is on the WiFi router box, it's the number that says ""shared"" next to it. Quick 2 minute drive to barton springs and 10 minutes to downtown. Aaron was very responsive during our whole stay. I highly recommend staying here."
4571293,29951291,2015-04-14,30741860,Ryan,"Aaron was super helpful, made the process very simple. Great location! This was my first experience using Airbnb, very satisfied! Thanks again Aaron. "
4571293,30117133,2015-04-17,5137933,Neema,"Place was as promised, in a great neighborhood. Had a friend stay here when visiting me, and Aaron was extremely accommodating."
4571293,30340853,2015-04-20,30733666,Beth,Aaron was great- he accommodated a late arrival and was able to meet me to drop off the key and give me a tour. The apartment was very clean w clean linens and towels. Great location and warm hospitality. 
4571293,30825904,2015-04-27,24380958,Elise,"Aaron's loft was as described. It was in a perfect location, close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Barton Springs Pool, Lady Bird Lake, etc., and we walked almost everywhere all weekend. The loft itself isn't grand and it's missing some amenities which would have made it a more luxurious stay, but Aaron was very accommodating, helpful, and easy to communicate with."
4571293,31148670,2015-05-02,25973463,Sheldon,"Aaron was particularly helpful with our late arrival and getting the modem working. The loft is well situated a brief walk from Zilker Park (a very cool area) and convenient for local travel in the area. There is a nice small pool area in a courtyard just below the loft entrance. Accommodations in the loft itself were modest and in need of refreshing and a good cleaning, but servicable."
4571293,31360728,2015-05-04,4910092,Shailin,"Aaron and his loft were great! He showed us around made sure we were comfortable before he left. The location is KILLER - we walked down the street a couple of minutes and we were at Barton Springs pool. The trails and Town Lake, Umlauf sculpture center are all also walking and very convenient if you want to skip the Austin traffic mayhem. Close to South Congress and easy to get to the bars as well. Overall, super convenient and just right for 2 - 3 people. "
4571293,32918481,2015-05-23,20315473,Edward,Nice place in great location.  Easy access and Aaron was a gracious host.
4571293,35178565,2015-06-15,3531783,Antonio,Aaron's apartment is in a great location walking distance to the lake and the park which you can ride all the way to Barton Springs pool. It has plenty of light which makes it feel extra spacious. Aaron was there to greet us once we got to his apartment and he is a very easy going person  
4571293,35349732,2015-06-17,35337029,Alfonso,Nice little spot. Perfect for trips to Barton Springs are ACL. Quite neighborhood store across the street and a lot walking distance from apartment. Would stay here again.

4571293,40412639,2015-07-30,18984520,Anneleise,Host was great with check in and check out. Place is just like the pictures. Their was a loud noise coming from restroom when a/c would go on but didn't bother us much. Will stay their again.
4571293,47821879,2015-09-21,43538762,Austin,"Aaron has been an excellent host - he dealt with my fairly last minute booking with great communication and was very helpful with my arrival and leaving dates.

He provided a very nice apartment. A good selection of amenities were available. The bed in particular was very comfortable.
The location was very interesting - tucked away from noisy city areas and nearer to nature trails and natural springs."
4571293,49760113,2015-10-06,31658548,Cameron,"Aaron was helpful and friendly. His place is a LOFT so I was confused as the listing says both, two bedrooms, and loft. I liked the location a lot and the walking trails with Barton Pool and ACL was perfect. The loft could have used a once over on the fridge and bathroom, but was acceptable and honestly priced for services rendered. Parking during ACL was not allowed without risk of getting towed, wish that had been understood ahead of time.
Clean linens and towels were great! 10/10 would book again. "
1836429,28116124,2015-03-18,2719372,P. Damian,"Brooke and her family were amazing hosts - super gracious and friendly. The house is beautifully built & designed, and in my favorite part of Austin - we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during SXSW.

Thanks, Brooke!"
1836429,28385064,2015-03-23,5365574,Christopher,"Brooke's home was perfect for our party of 8 during SXSW this year.

Thank you! "

5474538,35882187,2015-06-22,20266599,Kirsty,"We loved staying with Amanda and Whitney.  They were extremely courteous and generous with advice and recommendations.  They also shared coffee, beer and their amazing home brewed kombucha! The whole house is very clean and carefully decorated with interesting artworks and they also have two very sweet cats.  The room has everything you need including air conditioning and the bathroom is right next door.
All round great place and great hosts.  I'd recommend their place to anyone!"

5474538,43858693,2015-08-22,230889,Sarah,"We were so happy with our stay in Austin!! Amanda and Whitney were awesome and attentive hosts. They even prepared a little welcome packet for us with all sorts of helpful information about the house and the city! The room and bathroom were perfectly kept and clean. We stayed for 4 nights and felt right at home! Driving downtown and to the major hip spots in Austin was very easy and close. They've decorated the place so cute, and have 2 adorable cats as well. "
5474538,47854614,2015-09-21,36693499,Akshay,Possibly the friendliest host i have come across. Clean house and room. Everything was perfect! Highly recommended
5474538,47921900,2015-09-21,2705467,Pepe,"Staying at Amanda and Whitney's was amazing. Their house is super cool and the room is very comfortable! I only stayed one night and had the day super packed so I didn't have enough time to hang out with them, but they made me feel very welcomed. Thank you guys!"
5474538,48136210,2015-09-23,44297920,Sarah,"Amanda and Whitney were excellent hosts! Their home was very clean, quiet and cozy! Just what you need in a stay!

Staying at their house gave us a really positive experience in Austin and set the mood perfectly. They were gracious to let us use their living space, utilities, and were all around great people. What made the stay even more enjoyable and welcoming was that Amanda and Whitney are vegetarians, like us. We found this to be very lucky, as they were helpful to us discovering vegetarian cuisine and shops. Their home was very warm, welcoming, and had the positive energy that you would want for a great vacation. I would recommend anyone who is traveling to Austin and considering an AirBnB to stay with Amanda and Whitney. They are amazing people and take the time to ensure your stay is perfect. Thanks again, Amanda and Whitney!"

5474538,49951182,2015-10-07,5593613,Aichi,"I only stayed in Amanda and Whitney for one night. I choose their place because it is an artsy house, close to airport and have personal bathroom. They are very easy to communicate to and letting me know their two nice cats would be hanging out with me outside of my room. The shower was very nice and the room was comfortable. The washer and dryer were big plus for me. Everything was wonderful!"

The room itself is spacious and very clean, and the adjacent bathroom is the same. There's also a super chill cat. Seriously chill. Amanda & Whitney left clear instructions on the ins & outs of the house, and respected my privacy when I was in the room. I definitely had a very pleasant stay and would recommend them to anyone else!"
5474538,50309245,2015-10-11,41103247,Amber,Amanda and whitneys place was very neat and clean. They made checking in & out easy.

5396676,28185782,2015-03-19,18662301,New,"I was in Austin for SXSW with 3 colleagues, and John's house was perfect for our needs. Carly, who was managing the property at the time, was extremely accommodating whenever we needed anything. 
It was all very comfortable, convenient and low-stress. 

If you're staying here for an event downtown, just note that it's 1.2 miles from the house. Close enough to walk or ride a bike easily, and just far enough that you don't want to return home too often throughout the day. Which worked great for us. "
5396676,46095862,2015-09-07,39960958,Alex,My experience this past Labor Day weekend was far greater than what I expected. The home was very clean and a reasonable walking distance from 6th street. Getting in contact with the host was very simplistic and the rules of the home were very clear and understandable. I can honestly say I have no complaints and would recommend John's listing to any of my friends.

His house was beyond gorgeous and everyone that stayed there said that they would stay at the same place again. The place was beyond clean and very spacious. Location was perfect. Right near 6th street and Rainey street.  Beautiful view of the Capitol as well. The freeway is very close as well, but you don't hear any traffic which was a huge plus. I highly recommend this place to everyone!!! "

Their place was well-located with easy access to public transportations, and tourist attractions, and they offered to give me a ride to soco on their way to work. The room looked exactly like the pictures, very clean, comfortable and nice decorated, and you have your own bathroom equipped with towels and essentials. Definitely enjoyed my stay at their place! "

We loved the little toiletries and snacks provided. They were lifesavers when we realized forgotten items or came home hungry after a long day. Parking and entering/exiting the house was also super easy and convenient. Since we were at the festival all day, we didn't see much of our hosts but all our interactions were lovely and they were incredibly kind. They even offered to drive us to the festival! All in all, this was a great stay!"
2442412,51346770,2015-10-19,45312971,Vy,Great place to stay - very clean and comfortable!
2442412,52918784,2015-11-02,47346637,Erica,Omg !!!! Our host was awesome . I felt very welcome. Everything was amazing! 
1844996,8674149,2013-11-11,3576076,Aaron,"This was a very nice apartment in a great location. We were within walking distance of South Congress and Sixth street. The apartment was clean, quite and comfortable. We really enjoyed being so close to the hike and bike trail too."
1844996,8800059,2013-11-18,6466989,Neal,We had a great time in Austin and Shina was very accommodating.  Her apartment is walking distance to downtown and lots of great restaurants/bars.  She was also flexible with check-in / check-out times too.
1844996,10414220,2014-02-17,6362059,April,"Great location right on the lake with easy access to hike and bike trail. Pool is a really nice amenity. Shina is nice, quick to respond and flexible about check in and check out times. Apartment was clean and spacious. Overall, a great time!"
1844996,10622195,2014-02-28,1658273,Rachel,Exactly as described. Basic and centrally located. We wanted to be close to South Congress to shop and stroll. Also we had a concert at ACL Live and walked via hike and bike which was great. Thanks Shina for the easy and no fuzz accomodations. 
1844996,10707630,2014-03-03,12564540,Brent,"Great location, clean and simple. Perfect weekend. "
1844996,10879999,2014-03-11,5375767,Deny,Shina left us a great place nicely stocked with refreshments. It is a very convenient location just across the bridge from downtown. It is quiet and comfy. Loved it.
1844996,11518461,2014-04-06,10436637,Dan,Great location and everything was as stated in the listing. 
1844996,13315281,2014-05-25,1122108,Andrew,Shina's place was really nice. Nice location on the river and an easy walk to to downtown. Place was clean and easy to live in for 2 weeks.
1844996,16279128,2014-07-24,18299845,Kerri,"Shins was so helpful, she have me a great list of things to do. Her apartment is so great. I felt right at home. The pool is great and the other tenants are so friendly. The apartment is right on the river and so close to downtown. This is a perfect place to stay! "
1844996,18290075,2014-08-24,17056960,Chris,Shina was incredibly helpful and assisted in making our trip to Austin exactly what we wanted.  She was efficient and accomodating especially considering it was a last minute trip.  The listing was accurate and location was awesome.  
1844996,18772893,2014-08-31,9281116,Skyler,"Shina was a fantastic host and her place on the river is great. Meeting up to handover keys/parking permit was very quick, timing was flexible. Place was clean when we arrived. Place is very easy to find. Location is amazing, have immediate access to bike/running path as well as dock to the river. Comfortably slept 5 of us.

It is a very quick walk to the South Congress bridge for optimal bat watching. A few minute cab ride to Rainey/downtown. 10 minute walk to SoCo bars/restaurants such as Hopdoddy and Home Slice"
1844996,21479784,2014-10-18,4459265,David,Great apartment. Perfect location and taking the kayaks out on the lake is a must. Highly recommended.
1844996,21571708,2014-10-19,12523132,Janny,"Shina was always available when I had questions and responded quickly. Our stay was very comfortable. Her home was very quiet yet lively when you headed towards the river where the jogging trail was.      She let us use her kayaks which were situated on the water's edge.  It was a nice place to unwind after a busy day of activities. The beds were cozy and the bathroom already had toiletries stocked just in case.  For breakfast, she even let us use ingredients from her fridge. Thanks for making us feel welcomed."
1844996,21962885,2014-10-27,21499269,Jen,"Shina was super responsive and the accommodations were exactly as described and pictured. The apartment was clean and tidy and the bed was comfortable, so I was super happy!"
1844996,22376254,2014-11-04,9308541,Janna,"My first experience with Air B&B was fantastic--thanks to Shina Rae!
Communication was excellent--she responded immediately whenever I had a question (even little, silly ones).  Check-in and check-out could not have been any easier because Shina is so accommodating and professional. 
Her space is amazing--even better than the description!  The interior is warm and welcoming, while still being very spacious, clutter free and having a zen-like feel.  She has a big, walk-in closet and one entire side has been cleared away for guests to use.  The king-sized bed is extremely comfortable as are the micro-fiber pillows (I at first thought they were down, which I'm allergic to...but at closer inspection I realized they were not down and are very, very comfortable!)  For being so centrally located, it's shockingly quiet (and even more so at night), but I never felt uncomfortable listening to music nor felt as if I had to tip-toe around.  I think the building was just well made and has solid, virtually sound-proof walls.  The pool looked fun, as do the kayaks, but sadly, I didn't have the time to take advantage of either one.
The actual location of Shina's place is right on the river and perfect for any and everything that you could possibly want to do in Austin.  I was there for the Formula 1 race weekend and did not rent a car--and didn't need to, either.  It's literally about a 3 minute walk along the river path to the infamous spot where everyone watches for the bats at the South Congress Bridge (and yes, I did get to see the bats on Halloween!)
Personally, I love being central between all the funky fun of South Congress (and the fantastic shopping!) and the very center of downtown Austin.  It's only about a 10 minute walk to The Continental Club in SoCo and also about a 10 minute walk to 6th Street and Congress downtown.  When I didn't feel like walking, both Lyft and Uber could always easily find the location to pick me up and I never spent more than $8 going to or from any location in Austin.
Shina will definitely be the first person I contact on my next trip to Austin as I will always want to stay here!!  Thanks again!!"
1844996,22862863,2014-11-16,319452,Jamal,"Shina was great and her place is warm :). Its in the best location possible. Minutes drive to everything in Austin. Walking distance to some great spots as well. Her place was clean all around. Kitchen and Wifi were great. Heater as well. I stayed during raining weekend so it was a perfect time to relax by her awesome fireplace! Lets talk about Shina the person :) She was kind, welcoming, accommodating and her communication was excellent! I was very happy and comfortable with my stay. Austin is a amazing city and people like Shina make it so!"
1844996,23804226,2014-12-10,10129180,Anu,"Shina was a very nice host. She was very prompt with her communication and quite accommodating. She even offered her beverages and snacks in her fridge for us to consume! Shina has kayaks and paddles available to use on the nearby gorgeous Town Lake.

The location cannot be beat. We loved just walking down to the Town Lake hike and bike trail and enjoy unparalleled views of downtown from the new boardwalk.

One thing that was not ideal was that the apartment smelled like campfire, as if someone forgot to open the flue on the fireplace before lighting it. Unfortunately, the smell was quite overwhelming for us as it permeated our clothes.

1844996,24456562,2014-12-28,5362857,Thomas,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1844996,25247456,2015-01-10,4948521,Ronald,"Shina was pleasant and available during my visit. The apartment is in a great location. If you are planning an extended stay, you may want to consider another accommodation. The apartment has Internet television, which is acceptable unless you are a sports fan and the playoffs are on or you rely on your favorite stations. In addition the Internet connection is slow with low bandwidth. You will be sharing her food, closet, fridge, etc. The arrival cleanliness (floors, refrig, mirrors,) conveniences and amenities and very minimalistic but passable if you’re just looking for a place to crash short-term near downtown. Overall, I appreciate the location, flexibility on arrival/departure, and Shina’s responsiveness when I voiced my additional cleaning and supplies needs for the apartment. Thanks."
1844996,27634794,2015-03-08,27811421,Nico,"Shina was great, I booked the day before my arrival and she went out of her way to make sure everything would be set up for us."

1844996,34386786,2015-06-07,7044152,Lianglei,"It was a pleasant stay at Shina's place. She was responsive, every time I texted her, she replied my message just in one minute! That was great. The room is clean and cozy. Especially, the location of the complex is just excellent. It is beside the river, you can find a lot of fun there :) So, that was a great experience for me and my friends."
1844996,37059757,2015-07-04,3690711,Aemon,"Shina is great! Quick to respond and very helpful. Apartment was in great location, clean and had all we needed for a month's stay in Austin."

6092667,49577171,2015-10-04,42546264,Alex,Michael was a great host! He responded to my text and messages promptly and when out of his way to make sure everything was needed and comfortable.  Very flexible with when I checked in and didn't mind if I checked in late.  His place was very clean and neat. Everything in the picture is 100% accurate maybe even better than expected. You should go with Michael!
4217071,20876470,2014-10-06,8265675,Alex,"Katherine and Caleb were very nice. The room they had us stay in was clean and comfortable. This location is in North East Austin, so it was close enough to enjoy downtown but far enough to be away from the loud ACL crowds. We had a great stay with them and would recommend to friends."
4217071,21241618,2014-10-13,19796186,Jyllisa,the place was great! super clean and well decorated. the room was exactly as advertised and had everything we needed.we only got to meet Katherine and Caleb as we were leaving but they were easy to reach if we needed anything or had any questions. highly recommend.
4217071,21572098,2014-10-19,18227669,Ian,"Very friendly people - exactly the type of folks you hope to meet when using airbnb. They've got heaps of games and the sweetest golden retriever. One of us slept on the bed seen in the photo, and two of us slept on an air mattress at the foot of the bed. Fast, easy, affordable - I really don't anticipate staying elsewhere in Austin."
4217071,21648202,2014-10-20,22689905,Marcos,"Wow, Wow, Wow!!! Was trying to find a hotel in Austin and every thing seemed to be booked or super expensive, I have heard of ABNB but never had the guts to use it. For a first time user, Caleb and Katherine couldn't have been more perfect, they walked me through everything over the phone and when I arrive the room was as posted and all the information I needed was easy to find and understand, the room has everything a traveler would need, even the stuff you normally forget. Thank you Caleb and Katherine, I hope to see you again."
4217071,22001335,2014-10-27,22627764,Pino,"Great stay!!!
It was my first time with Airbnb and Caleb and Katherine couldn't have been more perfect.
They are a wonderful couple, it was a pleasure to talk with them, they made me a coffee with an Italian coffee maker so I really felt as at home!
The room was exactly as advertised and had everything you need, the bed was very comfortable and everything were kept clean. They also have a dedicated covered spot for guest parking. Downtown is about 15’ and very easy to reach it.
I had a great stay with them and I would recommend to friends. Thank you!!!
"
4217071,22172858,2014-10-31,22826909,Lauren,"Caleb and Katherine were absolutely wonderful and their dog Maggie is the cutest pooch! Loved getting to know them both, they are incredibly genuine and welcoming. Everything was clean and ready. Room looks identical to pics and if you needed anything, they were right there to help! Definitely recommend for future stays! "
4217071,22390031,2014-11-04,12475515,Monisha,The hosts were nice and welcoming. They helped me locate the house as I had a little difficulty with that. Did not get much time to interact with them as they left off for a week off just as I arrived. The room was clean and neat too. Perfect place for a short term stay.
4217071,22675632,2014-11-11,22958519,Colin,"Katherine and Caleb were absolutely amazing. They were really nice throughout the entire experience. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I went there for a festival and the bus number 10 was only a couple blocks away and took us straight to downtown.  Ubered back. 

I walked downstairs after not seeing Caleb for a couple days and he is the nicest guy ever. Asked if I wanted some pancakes and cooked us some pan cakes. He was great! had some great conversations with them. 

for a first time airbnb user it was absolutely amazing. "
4217071,22908590,2014-11-17,3364003,Mackenzie,Caleb and Katherine were flexible about my arrival times and were accommodating when I had to change my arrival date one day. They responded promptly when I had questions and were kind and welcoming throughout all communication. Their home is beautiful and I felt so comfortable my entire stay. They truly have a special gift at hospitality and are wonderful hosts! 
4217071,23182616,2014-11-24,22304506,Nusha,"Caleb and Katherine were the sweetest. Maggie is extremely adorable and loving. The location was excellent (not far from downtown) and enjoyed the covered parking in the rain. Not to mention reasonable pricing!
Will definitely come back :)"
4217071,23765950,2014-12-09,6903684,Cidney,"Caleb & Katherine & Maggie were kind, warm, & exceptional hosts.  The room was clean and comfortable with its own private bathroom.  Caleb & Katherine gave us great tips on where to eat and what to do in Austin and even left us treats at breakfast.  The best part however, was their golden retriever Maggie, who is off the charts in adorableness and hug giving.  It helped to fill in the hole left by leaving our own dog at home.  Highly recommended."
4217071,23852597,2014-12-12,8225525,David,"Caleb and Katherine were incredible hosts and their place is an extremely welcoming atmosphere.  It was great getting to know each of them and their dog Maggie.  Caleb provided loads of entertainment for me when he spoke his deep north Cajun accent to me and my girlfriend on Facetime during dinner,  when he did that, I knew were going to be friends!  Thanks for the hospitality!"
4217071,24858036,2015-01-03,24324969,Sam,"Caleb and Katherine were both very welcoming hosts and provided some great information about the city during out stay. While we were there, we even shared coffee and conversation with Katherine during one morning.

Their condo was very small and cozy. We didn't require much space since we were mostly out in the city. The neighborhood around their condo seems rough around the edges, but we were still safe and had no trouble driving around or finding our way back.

Overall, we had a very nice stay and really enjoyed having Caleb and Katherine as hosts. We can't wait to go back to the city!"
4217071,25358008,2015-01-13,24591367,Mary MacKenzie,"This was my husband and I's first time using Airbnb and we loved it. Caleb and Katherine were very kind and welcoming. Their dog is absolutely precious. The room was perfect with a great bathroom. The house was kept very clean and we had no issues with anything! The location was perfect for us in Austin and we really loved the hotel ""feel"" for such a great price! We will definitely be back! "
4217071,25401839,2015-01-14,25767477,Bright,"Although we didn't get to meet Caleb, Katherine was a very friendly host. We left in a bit of a whirl wind, but she was very flexible with our schedule.

They have everything set up perfectly and give you great directions once you are booked so that when you get there, you can easily make your way in and settle down whether they happen to be home at the time or not. We had a chance to chat and interact with them and they are lovely, kind, and fun people. Not to mention, their golden retriever is an absolute sweetheart as well. They also had great recommendations for how to spend your time in Austin. We were only there for one night but we felt completely comfortable in their home. Everything in the room/bathroom was clean, cozy, & easy to find. Lastly, there was french press coffee &  breakfast for us in the morning--a perfect way to start off our day in Austin :). 5 stars to Katherine & Caleb!"
4217071,25756882,2015-01-25,13007238,Ian,"Staying with Katherine, Caleb, and Maggie was wonderful. Their home is warm and very well kept. The neighborhood is quiet, dog friendly and within a short distance to good restaurants.
Sad we didn't get to try Caleb's famous pancakes but Katherine's chocolate pumpkin muffins were delish!

Good times! We already miss Maggie."
4217071,25828578,2015-01-26,26443163,Zach,"Caleb and Katherine were the definition of perfection. Our room was tremendous, the neighborhood was great and very conveniently located, their personalities were endearing, and their dog was just a bundle of joy to be around. Caleb and Katherine made our trip a delight and I would highly recommend them to anyone staying in Austin for any amount of time. I have no doubt that I will be returning to this mecca of wonderfulness they call a home. 6 out of 5 stars."

I highly recommend!"
4217071,26665933,2015-02-16,3779714,Jeremy,"This was my first time experiencing Austin and Caleb + Katherine provided the most perfect welcome pad! The place is located where you can see all of the city, not just the downtown area. I would recommend their place to anyone traveling to this area who is looking for the ability to explore and then have a nice comfortable place to end the day and relax. I'll definitely stay with them again."
4217071,27061146,2015-02-24,16508094,Mary,"I felt very much at home with Katherine, Caleb, and Maggie.  Their condo is very convenient to the I-35 freeway, as well as to a lovely, woodsy area for walking.  You do need to have a car and be able to walk 1 flight of stairs at this location.  "
4217071,27564261,2015-03-07,28699885,Preston,"Had a great first time experience with Caleb, Katherine and Maggie! Due to weather delays, I arrived a little after midnight, directions were easy to follow.  Caleb was still up when I got there so we had the chance to talk a little bit and Maggie wasn't going to let me forget that she was a part of this family as well!  Caleb gave me some insight and background about their experiences, both hosting and staying, and how to make future airbnb stays as enjoyable as possible.  The room is just as roomy and cozy as it looks, with a private bath, I was all set up.  Super affordable, very clean and Maggie is the absolute BEST!  Next time I am in Austin, I am staying here if it is available, end of story!"
4217071,27675773,2015-03-09,21390799,Stephanie,"The spare room at Caleb and Katherine's was excellent! The house was easy to find, thanks to their directions, and they have a door-access system that is easy to use and follow! The house and our room were very clean and neat. We loved meeting their adorable retriever Maggie, she was such a sweetie! Our dog Buck played with Maggie (who graciously shared her toys) and even went on a walk with us Sunday morning! Overall our experience was wonderful and we would definitely stay again!"
4217071,28125429,2015-03-18,9792663,Gina,Stayed w/Katherine and Caleb during SXSW. Didn't see them much but when I did they always made me feel welcome and comfortable. They have a lovely home in a very quiet neighborhood that's convenient to I-35. Best sleep I've had in a long while!! Would stay here again especially if it means getting to hug their pup Maggie again. What a sweetie pie! Thanks Katherine and Caleb for the hospitality!
4217071,28197444,2015-03-19,9792663,Gina,"Stayed with Caleb and Katherine (and Sweet Maggie) while in Austin for SXSW. Didn't see them much (saw Maggie more!), but when I did they were incredibly gracious and made sure I felt at home. The room was quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!

If you're worried about not being downtown, don't fret! The house is very near I-35 and even with SXSW traffic, it never took me more than 15 minutes to get to the Convention Center. "
4217071,28544757,2015-03-25,29587486,Lydia,They are very nice. Wish we can have more time to talk.

We had the place to ourselves for a couple of days and then met Katherine and Caleb who were very welcoming and who made sure we were comfortable and pleased. Their dog Maggie is super friendly and very quiet.   Our room and bath were as pictured, well kept and clean.  The location was great as we were close to downtown and major highways which made it easy to travel to many attractions.  Thank you Katherine and Caleb for a great stay."

(Which is what I love about airbnb.) I was appreciative of their easygoing attitudes upon arrival. We could leave and enter as we pleased.
The bed was comfy, and I loved that the restroom was in the room. I was worried that it would be outside of the room.
Location was about a $15 Uber drive to downtown. Maggie was one of the friendliest dogs I've met. :) Very friendly hosts!"
4217071,31268021,2015-05-03,24747880,Sara,"Katherine and Caleb are a very nice couple and Magy is a sweet dog! Their place is located quite close from downtown Austin and it's surrounded by many grocery stores, shopping centers and restaurants. Their place looks like in the pictures. The bedroom is spacious and with its own bathroom filled with basic stuff. In our opinion It needed to be dusted but it was still a good place to stay at.  ;-)"
4217071,31988232,2015-05-12,32094665,Santiago,Caleb and Katherine were very welcoming hosts. All the previous reviews here accurately describe both the house/room and their interaction with guests. Would recommend

4217071,33015196,2015-05-24,15495936,Kari,"The bedroom and bathroom were clean and spacious and accommodations were comfortable.  There was a strong dog smell when we entered the home, but you couldn't smell it at all in the bedroom area where we stayed.  Caleb and Katherine were kind to touch base with us to make sure we checked in without issue.  We did not meet them as they were out of town.  It was a fine place to stay for our one night in Austin.      "
4217071,34044950,2015-06-03,34781963,Chance,"I'm a little biased because these guys are good friends, but if I put that aside I can honestly say that this stay was super comfy. These people are extremely welcoming and humble and their space is excellent. They have a lot of nice little touches that make all the difference. "
4217071,34450817,2015-06-08,32877424,Emily,"Room was clean and very comfortable.  We especially appreciated the bottled water, snacks and toiletries they provided. It was also nice to have a microwave and mini fridge in the room. Caleb and Katherine were great hosts and Maggie was very sweet!"
4217071,34679196,2015-06-10,7398332,Cynthia And Peter,"Caleb and Katherine were great hosts. I had a wonderful two night stay in their home with my dog Cali. The bed was very comfortable and the en suite bathroom was perfect. Water pressure in the shower was great. They provided a lot of little extras like coffee, snacks, and toiletries. My havanese Cali got along fabulously with their beautiful golden retriever Maggie, she was a real treat! The hosts were very friendly and we had lovely conversations, but they also gave me my own space, which I appreciated. Overall great experience and would definitely stay with Caleb and Katherine again if back in Austin. "
4217071,34756216,2015-06-11,34781963,Chance,These guys are great and they strive to make you feel welcome in their home. 
4217071,34839505,2015-06-12,34832115,Brittney,"Caleb and Katherine were great. We booked at literally the last minute and they were very gracious to take us in. We only got to meet Caleb but he was so nice, and we loved Maggie! The room was great, had everything we needed. Location is in a safe complex. With a short car ride to downtown/SoCo, you can't beat the value of this place! Thanks again Caleb and Katherine (and Maggie too!)"
4217071,35228893,2015-06-16,32509084,Inae,"My stay at Katherine and Caleb's house was very nice! 
The bedroom and bathroom look like the picture. Very cozy and lovely! They gave us cool tips about the city! Me and my boyfriend spent mostly time out because we had a lot of plans! But anytime when we got home they were really attentive and friendly! We had a great time! And the most cute dog we ever met, Maggie! We still talking about her! OMG she is the best dog!!! Totally cute and lovely!! When we go back we gonna stay with them again for sure!!  Thank you guys!!  "
4217071,35624486,2015-06-20,23127789,Scott,"Caleb & Katherine were lovely. This stay came up at the very last minute, so there was less than 24 hours notice, and then my work schedule left me with almost no time to socialize, but they made it easy. I was able to get checked in with no trouble, and the room was perfect. I only managed to connect with Caleb for a brief moment, but he was very friendly, I really enjoyed meeting him, and would definitely like to come back for a longer stay in the future."

4217071,49733232,2015-10-05,2753965,Emily,"Best airbnb hosts ever. My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time staying with Katherine and Caleb. Even though they'd just returned from Europe, they accepted our last minute reservation, and greeted us like old friends! The room was perfect, and if you have a car, very easy to drive downtown. We were even invited for waffles on Saturday with them and their friends, which of course we couldn't say no too! Thanks guys for having us, we couldn't have asked for better hosts!"
4217071,50637717,2015-10-13,42133365,Allison,"Directions in the itinerary made it super easy to find. The place was adorable, and perfect for me and my friends to stay comfortably"

4217071,52790015,2015-11-01,4784003,Tamara,What a lovely home. We were there for just a quick few hours but the room and bathroom were lovely. Thank you for sharing your home with my husband and I.
5424819,28025225,2015-03-16,28245716,Abner,"Ania was a very nice, warm, welcoming host. She had everything in order and left me with everything I needed to have a comfortable, worry less stay. We coordinated my check in and check out easily, and everything went well. The house is big, comfortable and Ania's room is very cozy and private. The bathroom is fully equiped with towels and shampoos and soaps I would like to have at home. In short, I recommend staying here if you don't mind taking a short taxi or uber ride downtown. 
"
5424819,33339227,2015-05-26,33965446,Kyle,"This area was very convenient for exploring all parts of town. There were always uber drivers nearby and I never had a fare more than $8. The home is very nice and everyone living there was extremely friendly. Ania was especially friendly and made us feel very welcome in her space. We did not spend much time there as we were there to explore but the time spent there was very pleasant. The room was very nice and having the attached bathroom was great for privacy. 

Thanks Ania for a great stay!"
5424819,38469831,2015-07-15,33095208,Jenny,"My boyfriend and I booked this place the day of so it was very last minute. However, Ania was a great host despite the short notice. Her place is very clean, unique and cozy. The location is also very close to the sites in Austin. Her two adorable dogs were a bonus! "
5424819,39251651,2015-07-21,17466864,Andrea,"Ania was an excellent host!  She was very kind and welcoming!  The house is close to downtown, which was very convenient.  Also, the room was cozy and warm and the house was well kept.  Ania's dogs were so sweet and well behaved.  I would definitely recommend staying with Ania."
5424819,39353219,2015-07-22,20808557,Olga,We were in love with Ania's house. It was flawlessly clean and very cozy. Ania is such a sweetheart. She gave us good advice on things to do. Next time we come to Austin we'll definitely stay with Ania again
5424819,40188018,2015-07-28,39083308,Rebecca,Very peaceful welcoming home.
5424819,41008321,2015-08-03,27077821,Ashley,"Great experience! Loved the location and the room/house was just as pictured, very Austin. "
5424819,41182082,2015-08-04,3180157,Assaf,"
Simran Raj. Was a grait host
I enjoyed me time  very much felt wellcom
The room was beyond advertising The room was decorated and full of symbols of yoga and meditation and positive energy   shower were giants 
Highly recommended I would go back again"
5424819,43004339,2015-08-16,26216067,Dan,"Very pleasant experience with Simran.  My schedule was very uncertain and she was very flexible with her arrangements.  I had a very comfortable space to myself, and there were several other people at the house if I had wanted to be more social.  I think it's a great atmosphere for someone who wants a bit of community while traveling for work or whatever.  The location is great for Austin, and it's very affordable.  5 stars !"
5424819,43338389,2015-08-18,2571407,Melissah,"Simran and her housemates were wonderful hosts! My partner Julian and I were made to feel so welcome right away and were lucky Simran could accommodate us at such short notice. The house itself was immaculately clean and easy to feel relaxed in. We loved the East Austin location, heaps of great cafes and food trucks / restaurants close by. Simran was also able to give us some great local recommendations! Overall a lovely stay! "
5424819,45755947,2015-09-05,18646777,Abby,"Our host was flexible with our arrival time and very friendly. She reviewed her expectations, gave us a tour, and kindly provided recommendations on exploring Austin. We drove everywhere so we can't comment on walking the neighborhood. The bedroom and bathroom were enough space for two of us. The bed was on the firm side, just FYI. They prefer to keep the house thermostat set at 80 degrees, which was on the hot side even with a ceiling fan. Our main complaint was that the Friday night we stayed we could hear loud voices and music coming from downstairs. We had a lot of trouble sleeping because of this and had to get up early the next morning for a long day of driving. We understand it was a Friday, but expect more respect and courteousness regarding the noise level from the others in the house when people are paying to stay there. "
5424819,46305467,2015-09-09,5473731,Nic,Simran Raj and her house mates were awesome and super friendly.  Her room was the perfect oasis after a long day of exploring the city.  I felt right at home and super relaxed.  They recommended some great sites and restaurants to me and made sure my stay in Austin was pleasant.  I will definitely be staying there again next time I visit.  Good vibes all around.
5424819,47014130,2015-09-14,43463895,Michael,"Nice private room in a nice house.  Multiple BnB'ers there at once, but still had private feel. Driving distance to the Capitol and definitely a lock doors at night type area that is on the rise."
5424819,47913674,2015-09-21,44280008,Michael,"My brother and I had an uber-fun time staying with Simran in Austin.  I say uber because she helped us set up an uber app for a free ride downtown.  Simran was very helpful and accomodating, and her roommates and other guests were friendly interesting people.  Her bed was comfortable - fit my brother and I, both 6', no prob.  Great cozy place to crash and also find help getting around town :)"
5424819,48320603,2015-09-25,19658489,Kerry,Hi Simran was not there but Andrea and Jacqueline were super nice. My room was big and my bed comfortable. Thanks girls
5424819,48664937,2015-09-27,30933629,Elizabeth,Simran made me feel welcomed and even though she was not there she was quite communicative through a call/texts. Her roommates filled in where she couldn't and were helpful and accommodating. Her home is also not far from the main downtown area. 
5424819,48842044,2015-09-28,44963298,Zaira,Extremely happy with Simrans room! This was my first time using airbnb so I was a little nervous but everything turned out great. Her room was very calming and beautiful. I am happy the room had its own key. She provided towels and made sure to answer all my questions. Great experience would definitely stay here again.
5424819,49192114,2015-10-01,26216067,Dan,"Another win at Simran's place while traveling for work.  Pleasant conversation with the the other guests, both of whom were international travelers with unique and humorous stories to tell, a very peaceful night of rest, and a flexible and gracious set of hostesses who know how to make you feel at home.  Five stars one more time !"
5424819,49577287,2015-10-04,8574719,Cherise,I had a big and clean master room. The host is very friendly. 
5424819,49851124,2015-10-06,39195320,Coutney,"The listing was very accurate, and the room was possibly even better than I thought based on the listing. I was welcomed with open arms into the home and immediately felt comfortable. Simran was great and made sure that I knew where everything was and that I had everything that I needed. The room was clean, and beautiful- it was the perfect place to crash after my long adventures in South America. I wish that I could have stayed there for longer. There were only good vibes in the house and the host and all of the other individuals that I met were just sweet and welcoming and just so warm. I couldn't have imagined a better stay. The neighborhood was quite and felt very safe. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a place to stay and who wants to meet some incredible people along the way. "
5424819,50628539,2015-10-13,32925487,Ashlee,Simran Raj was a great host! The place is super close to downtown and a lyft usually only costed about 10 to 15 bucks. Would definitely stay there again.
5424819,52016061,2015-10-25,44014936,Heather,Simran has a very sweet disposition and responds quickly to any messages you send to her. The master bedroom has a very comfortable bed and lots of good reading material within. The dogs are extremely sweet and very quiet. The neighborhood is a really short drive to downtown and felt totally safe to me!
5424819,52213887,2015-10-27,8456380,Brandon,Simran was very friendly and welcoming.  Roommates I met were also friendly.  It's a big modern house and the spacious master bedroom has it's own large bathroom with a shower and large bath tub.  Everything was very clean.  A couple of friendly and very chill dogs sleep downstairs.  
5424819,52561219,2015-10-30,30208356,Clare,"I had a great one night stop at Simran Raj's place. She was super friendly, warm and communicative and although our paths didn't cross I really enjoyed meeting her lovely flat mates / people staying. The room was perfect very spacious and en suite a treat! "
5424819,53108762,2015-11-05,32819054,Leeyan,Awesome private room with lovely big ensuit. Simran was very hospitable and gave us handy tips to find our way about the city. Enjoyed our stay very very much :D
4258708,49111583,2015-10-01,39854041,Darlene,"Brad is an absolute delight to work with. Made us feel right at home and made sure we had everything we needed.

The unit is nice!!

Super clean and tastefully appointed.

Loved the little backyard where you can sit outside under the trees and enjoy a glass of sweet tea (or wine!)

The location is outstanding. Easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Less than 5 minutes in the car to Whole Foods, Zilker Park and 6th Street.

5***** all the way.

darlene :) 
p.s. We've stayed in B&B's that my hubby calls ""geese and bonnets."" Not this B&B. It was crisp, modern with just enough Austin funky thrown in to make it warm and homey!"
6463905,34899045,2015-06-13,34583119,Jay,"We really enjoyed our trip to Austin, and Caleb's place was very comfortable. Our host was extremely helpful and communicative. The location is great, and his complex is straight out of Mad Men! I would definitely recommend Caleb as a host."
1822588,10886970,2014-03-11,12393020,Casey,"We came down to SXSW interactive for business and it was perfect.  The location was with in walking distance from the convention center/downtown/east 6th street/restaurants/bars/food trucks. 
The house was cozy and even stocked with some local beer and some basic food necessities.  
 Bryce was an amazing host and would absolutely stay at his property again.  "
1822588,15014499,2014-06-30,7636117,Kyle,"Bryce and Rashael made the trip super easy for us and their place is great! 
Cannot ask for a better location, right next to east 6th and a quick walk or ride over to Rainy and 6th street. 
Their home is beautifully renovated and was perfect for 2 couples to spend the weekend.  
"
1822588,15358380,2014-07-07,11899980,Stephen,Bryce and Rachael were very accommodating and their place was very nice. Great location.
1822588,15560284,2014-07-11,10517834,Tom,This beautiful house is in such a perfect location with quick access to 6th street and downtown. The house has been beautifully decorated with quick internet and a tv. I really can't fault the whole experience - the hosts were so friendly and helpful without being invasive. I can't recommend Bryce and Rachael enough. 
1822588,15718944,2014-07-14,17523972,Angelique,"Communication from Rachael was awesome. Airbnb pushed messages to my phone via text (great because I am always mobile) - so not really sure of my replied via text went though back to her or not - but I loved that feature. 
House is pretty much EXACTLY as pictured. There is a giant picnic able on the back patio, and a nice swing in the backyard as well (the kind two people can sit on - like a porch swing). These weren't pictured, but were nice bonuses. 
They left a nice note with WIFI password and a 6 pack of a Texas beer in the fridge, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall I would definitely recommend, loved the house/hosts."
1822588,16498106,2014-07-28,17846928,Catherine,We had a wonderful weekend stay - great house in a fantastic location! Would definitely stay here again when in Austin!
1822588,16869183,2014-08-03,18698472,William,"Bryce and Rachael are great hosts and their place is fantastic.  We weren't in town for long so we spent most of our time exploring Austin (walking almost everywhere).  The brief time we were in their house was great.  Super clean and the AC worked great which we appreciated given that it was in the upper 90's outside.  They were very prompt with communication and responding to questions.  I had planned on an air mattress being in the apartment for the second night but noticed it wasn't there upon my arrival (miscommunication on my part).  I messaged them that night and they brought it over (and set it up!) the next morning while I was out and about.  Could not have asked for better service.  They also provided ample recommendations on restaurants and shops to see in Austin (bike shops, tacos places, you name it).  Highly recommended."
1822588,17411886,2014-08-11,16625737,Desmond,"Bryce and Rachael had a wonderful place and were even better hosts. The place itself was beautiful with a very open and welcoming common area with very reasonable sized bedrooms. We had 4 people staying and Bryce and Rachael were incredibly nice in having an air mattress in addition to the other two beds to accommodate us. 

They also left great recommendations for places nearby, detailed and easy-to-read instructions for everything from connecting to the Wi-Fi to working the TV, and welcomed us with a few beers in the refrigerator as well! We had a few issues with flights but Bryce and Rachael were more than accommodating allowing us to stay just a bit longer so we would not be stranded at the airport. 

Overall the experience was wonderful and really contributed to our great Austin experience. I would highly recommend this location. Thank you Bryce and Rachael for a great time!"
1822588,17947052,2014-08-19,5911469,Joe,Bryce and Rachael were amazing hosts!  They were extremely up-front about all the detail of the house and even left us welcome drinks in the fridge!  Their listing book was very helpful when exploring the city.  They responded to all of our questions and we were very happy to stay in their home. 
1822588,18546477,2014-08-28,11448360,Wendy,"The listing photos and details were accurate for this home.  This neighborhood is an up and coming neighborhood and although parts of it may need a bit of updating/cleaning up, this neighborhood is safe with many local families living there.
We enjoyed Bryce and Rachael's home very much.  It is simple, yet elegant and sophisticated in design.  Bryce had it set up so that my husband and I stayed in one room and my kids each got their own room (the office is another bedroom option).  The kitchen is large and had everything we needed -- thank  you!  I used the laundry for a couple loads, as well -- which is very helpful when you have children and are traveling for many days.  We loved Austin and staying at this home was perfect for our family.  Thank you."
1822588,18904034,2014-09-02,18865603,Andrew,Bryce and Rachael's listing is accurate as posted. The neighborhood is ideal and centrally located from the places we needed to go. The home is wonderfully rustic yet sophisticated.  The picnic style tables worked so well for our family.  Bryce and Rachael even left beer for us and recommended a nearby coffee shop that we absolutely loved. I would definitely recommend their listing to others looking to explore Austin.
1822588,19604873,2014-09-15,19043890,David,"Bryce and Rachael were very accommodating and prompt with all responses. The house is well kept, comfortable, and ideally located. I could not have asked for a better stay. Thanks Bryce and Rachael!"

1822588,20901014,2014-10-07,19661142,Alex,"Bruce and Rachael's house is just perfect. 3 blocks from the best part of town, but completely quiet at night. The house is in beautiful condition, with comfortable beds and plenty of room. Bathroom and kitchen are fantastic. 
On top of this, Bryce and Rachael were extremely responsive, friendly and went out of their way to help. Little touches, like the personalised welcome note and 6 pack of local beer in the fridge really make this place stand out. I can't recommend this house and hosts highly enough!"
1822588,21581269,2014-10-20,4368046,Chris,"Great house, great location, wonderful hosts. House is well-appointed, clean and very comfortable. The location is is in a great up-and-coming, hip neighborhood with tons of restaurants, bars and coffeehouses within walking distance. Bryce and Rachel were extremely accommodating and quickly answered any and all questions. They are great with restaurant suggestions, too! "
1822588,22582185,2014-11-10,1334100,Chris,It's a very nice and comfortable house. Bryce and Rachel are great at communication and getting you all the information you need. The location is nice: Cenote is a great coffeeshop just down the street. Veracruz (great tacos) and Kerlina (great BBQ) trucks are right down the street. Scoot inn is a fun bar right down the street.
1822588,23336967,2014-11-29,22384049,Marion,"Great place and great hosts! They made us feel welcome before we even got there by answering all our questions and giving us spot-on food recommendations. The location is great if you want easy access to cool bars, good music, and delicious food trucks. We could walk almost anywhere else we wanted to go. The place was spotless and exactly as pictured. We enjoyed hanging out in the backyard in the sun too."
1822588,23493204,2014-12-02,5377699,Susie,"Bryce and Rachel's place was very nice! It was very clean and accommodating, they even left us local Austin brews in the fridge for us. They provided clean towels, access to their WiFi, Apple TV, and highlights of some good spots to see in the neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!
"
1822588,24212033,2014-12-22,10389186,Tyson,"Loved staying here! The house was clean & comfortable, the neighborhood was central to everything, and our hosts were gracious and eager to help with anything we needed. 

House- Really comfy beds, big modern kitchen, cool furniture. 

Neighborhood- Residential, just a couple blocks from bars and restaurants, really close to downtown, also 2 blocks the best BBQ short rib we found the whole trip, at the LA BBQ food truck.
"
1822588,24596361,2014-12-31,23818605,William,"We had a wonderful experience with Bryce and Rachael! They had a very nice, clean house located in an awesome section of Austin. They were always prompt to answer any questions that we had and even left some local beer in the fridge for us when we arrived. We recommend this location for anyone visiting austin, it could not have been a better experience!"
1822588,24948528,2015-01-04,23221803,Lauren,"We could not have been happier with our stay! Bryce and Rachael were extremely accommodating during our visit to Austin for New Years and a wedding. They were flexible with our check-in time, which was great with our group (3 couples) all arriving in atx at different times. We ended up blowing a fuse at one point, and Bryce was quick to respond and point us towards the fuse box immediately. The area of town is fantastic; close enough to downtown that we could walk home on New Years- thankfully since cabs were impossible to track down. There are so many great restaurants and bars in walking distance and the suggestions B&R gave were spot on. We definitely would suggest this place to friends for future visits. Our only regret was that we didn't get to use their backyard. The porch and swing didn't get any of our attention due to crummy weather during our visit. "
1822588,25299874,2015-01-11,25758902,James,"The house was perfect. It was close to 6th street, roomy, and well maintained. "

Bryce and Rachael were very accommodating to our extremely late check in time and were just as helpful when it came to local recommendations. With great bars, food, and coffee shops nearby the location was very convenient as well. I wouldn't ever hesitate to recommend staying with them."
1822588,26257768,2015-02-08,1224212,Ilija,"Amazing house and great location - we really enjoyed our stay. The communication with Bryce and Rachael was super smooth, these guys are the best! "
1822588,26689200,2015-02-17,993528,Chloe,"We loved Bryce & Rachel's home! It is a well kept home with plenty of room and all the necessities.

1822588,29952667,2015-04-14,7465917,Graeme,"Bryce and Rachel are the ULTIMATE hosts. Their home was just as advertised, they could not have been more communicative or helpful and they made the entire process a pleasure. I could not recommend this home highly enough and I fully intend to stay there again (assuming you don't rent it first)"
1822588,31915521,2015-05-11,17220172,Ben,"Bryce and Rachael's place was perfect for the guys weekend I put together.  It had plenty of places to crash, was super nicely finished inside and out, and had a great location.  It was best to cab or Uber to downtown, but there were several places close by to grab a bite and a beer.  Highly recommended for anyone looking for a spot to call home are while in Austin."
1822588,32703862,2015-05-20,7532792,Stacie,The house was really cute and very clean.  Can't beat the location.  The hosts gave many recommendations and were extremely helpful.  We would definitely stay here again.
1822588,33257389,2015-05-26,7534915,Jess,"This host was terrific! Listing was 100% accurate -- so close to everything, neighborhood was great. Both Bryce and Rachael were incredibly great at communicating regularly, giving me a ton of feedback on restaurants to check out, how to get around the city, etc! "
1822588,34440211,2015-06-08,30883112,John,"This was a perfect place.  Nice size kitchen with a huge backyard.  But even better, it had a great new feel to everything and was not run down at all and the AC was a God save given I was coming from the cool temperate So Cal weather.  We were able to take a $5-10 Uber everywhere we wanted to go.  I'd highly recommend to anyone."
1822588,35020177,2015-06-14,30934210,Keisuke,It was a good stay at Bryce and Racharl s. It is convenient only 10 min to downtown. And the house was clean.
1822588,35939286,2015-06-23,33597350,Jackie,"Host made us feel welcome and was responsive. I asked for some  restaurant recommendations and they sent some great ones. They also mentioned a great yoga place, ""Practice,"" that was near by. 
Place was clean and well equipped. 
Location very convenient. Walked to all the restaurants where we ate. Nothing was more than 3/4 mile away. Many much closer. "
1822588,36704410,2015-06-30,2476237,Alex,"Bryce and Rachel were awesome. They sent an amazing list of Austin hotspots for us to check out and all the picks we checked out were spot on. Also, I asked whether there were bathrugs and Rachel came over to drop some off within a couple hours - I wasn't even really saying I needed them but it was awesome that she stopped off so quickly."
1822588,37376196,2015-07-06,1103558,Bethany,"Staying at Bryce and Rachael's place was terrific. It was a very clean, the beds were comfortable and they left towels for each guest on our pillows.  Such a nice touch.  It was great to sit on the back porch with our friend at the beautiful table they have. The location is great. Just around the corner from coffee/breakfast shops, food trucks, The Scoot Inn (a great bar) and walking distance to downtown.  You will love this place with your family or friends.  I would defiantly book with them at this location again.  "
1822588,39180542,2015-07-21,16242514,Alex,Rachel and Bryce were great hosts! Amazing and comfortable place just minutes from the action. We had a late flight so needed a few more hours past normal check out for which they were very good about and let us stay longer! Thanks guys and what a great city too!
1822588,44940126,2015-08-30,39181328,Hemi,"The place was great. We were staying for a few weeks, and it was just what we needed - a simple three bedroom place, close to the action, and with the amenities we needed. Very happy with the place."
1822588,47723341,2015-09-21,30448277,Margaret,Corporate conference in walking distance to convention center.  Lived the Cenote coffee shop and food trucks! Thanks for perfectly clean & accommodating stay!

1822588,51195178,2015-10-18,8355102,E.J.,"Bryce and Rachael's place was perfect for our trip to Austin.  Awesome location close to all of the great stuff in East Austin (and the cheat sheet that they sent us was extremely helpful) and easy to get everywhere else.  We prefer staying in quieter neighborhoods like this instead of being in the middle of the craziness, but there are great bars and restaurants within walking distance from the house- you just don't need to hear them when you're trying to sleep.  So it's the ideal setup for the way we like to travel.  The house was simply furnished and decorated and had everything we needed for a quick, easy trip. Would definitely stay here again!"
1822588,52233226,2015-10-27,41597341,Sam,The house is a very close walk to downtown. It was very clean and well furnished. With an extremely wet race weekend the washer/dryer was very helpful to clean up and dry out. The wifi and Apple TV kept the entertainment going even when back from the track or downtown. The hosts were very accommodating and I would not hesitate to stay here again.

The location of apartment couldn't be better! The apartment is centrally located with easy access to public transportation and road ways to travel around Austin; there are plenty of amenities within walking distance. "

5616004,32645774,2015-05-19,21334743,Heath,"Great little place that is close to downtown, but not right in the fray of traffic. Apartment was very comfortable and clean. Exactly as described. The host was very connected to us and gave us all the necessary information before we needed it. Highly recommended."
5616004,37434249,2015-07-06,37435657,Daniel,"Ilia was a very attentive host. His apartment was easily accessible and clean, with balcony views of Central Park. I will definitely consider staying at his apartment next time I travel to Austin."

5616004,43646129,2015-08-21,16654806,James,"The host Llia, was always available within a short time if I had any questions.  His place was spotless, comfortable and cozy.  The bed was large and very soft - I slept well.  The kitchen is not shown in the photos but it is complete with good appliances.

I enjoyed walking down to the pool and exercise room, and the people in the complex were friendly.  I was there in the summer, and it was nice to have a parking place in a garage so it was shaded.

It was better than I expected, and I would like to stay there again next summer when I go there to visit my daughter."
5616004,45213372,2015-08-31,1212111,Laura,"Ilia's place was A++, two thumbs up, and we would love to come back here again during one of our many trips to Austin.  It was a short uber ride ($7-$10) to downtown area and many great little restaurants within a five minute drive.
The apartment itself was perfect.  It was very clean, cool, QUIET, (oh so quiet) and the bed was a large king size bed that was so comfortable!  After walking a bit during the day I slept amazingly and woke up to a nice quiet morning, facing the little pond outside from the bedroom window.  The apartment overall was very comfortable and cozy.
I never met Ilia but he was lightning fast with responding to any questions I had and he was very helpful and friendly.  Thanks for letting us crash at your place! :)"
5616004,45903059,2015-09-06,6561793,Lawrence,"Ilia was an excellent host! Though I did not meet Ilia in person, he was very accommodating over the phone, especially with finding the location and finding the apartment. His space was lovely, clean, with a vibrant atmosphere! He has many additional amenities including an XBox that turned into quite a spontaneous session after a night out on 6th St. I will certainly come stay again with Ilia when I am back in Austin!"

4800040,24873725,2015-01-03,13381969,(email hidden),"Clayton is quick to respond to messages & very accommodating.  The house has a nice open, comfortable floor plan and was very clean. It is in a great location in terms of being near local eats & shops - there are several things in the neighborhood & downtown is just 10-15 minutes away."
4800040,25516209,2015-01-18,25430934,Kayla,"Clayton made us feel instantly welcomed! As soon as we walked in the door there was a hand written note, bottle of wine, and map to surrounding restaurants/activities in the area. The neighborhood was quiet and perfectly situated only a few blocks away from major streets that can get you around town in no time. All of the things we wanted to do and see while we were in Austin were only 10-15 min away from the house (at most!). The house was super cozy and it felt like our home away from home. Definitely made our trip more comfortable! We would recommend this East Austin Bungalow to any of our friends and would definitely stay here again when visiting. :)"
4800040,25946371,2015-01-30,1863468,Annie G. And Peter,"This little house is a dream. We liked it so much, we stayed an extra week! We are Austinites who have been traveling and in between houses for the last few months, and staying at Clayton's place made us feel 100% at home. Plenty of space, a great layout with cool concrete kitchen bar counter, wifi, snacks, coffee, wine!, washer/dryer, everything we could possibly need was waiting for us when we arrived. Clayton was an amazing host and went above and beyond with setting us up comfortably in his home. The house is located on a great little street, walking distance to our fave places to eat and drink, peaceful by day and quiet at night. Highly recommend this place! Thanks, Clayton!!"

We really enjoyed staying here, and would do so again."

He received us with a bottle of wine, a list of top spots around Austin and easy to follow guidelines for his place. The place itself is really cool, it has a unique craftsmanship feel in every corner of the house that I really appreciated. If you're looking for a relaxed spot in Austin that is close to everything this is your place! Clayton will surely take care of you!"
4800040,26649047,2015-02-16,27418165,Doc,We did not make it Austin but our communication and transaction with Clayton has been amazing. Will try to stay at his place the next time we plan on visiting the city.
4800040,26926762,2015-02-22,25347603,Nefer,Clayton made our experience a perfect one! This was my first time using Airbnb and was a little worried but the house was just as described and seen in the pictures. Perfect location minutes from 6th St. Clayton also provided us with a list of local spots which came real handy and also started off our Bachlorette party with leaving us a bottle of Wine. Would love to be able to stay here again if I am back in Austin. 
4800040,27193035,2015-02-27,21185463,Robin,"We enjoyed our stay and Clayton was a terrific host. A bottle of tasty red wine welcomed us, along with a handwritten note and clear directions for kitchen items, wifi password, etc. The refrigerator was stocked with eggs, bagels and cream cheese for breakfast, and there was plenty of coffee. I liked the hardwood floors. The house was clean and comfortable, and we would definitely stay again. While we did not bring our dog, we appreciated that there is that option, pending the owner's approval.  Clayton made it clear he was accessible to help as needed, which brings so much peace of mind when staying in someone's home. "
4800040,27256099,2015-03-01,13438299,Jason,"Clayton's home was wonderful. Very inviting and warm, we felt at home. It had all we needed.  We ventured out to explore 6th street and a few of the places he mentioned to us, and we truly enjoyed it. "
4800040,27603380,2015-03-08,8470001,Chris,"Clayton was an awesome host! Checking in and out was super easy, and he even left us breakfast and a bottle of wine for when we arrived. The space was fantastic - perfect for three people, very clean, and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. The location was great for all the bars and restaurants in East Austin, and it was about 5 minutes drive to downtown as well. Also an easy location to get to the airport from. All in all one of my best Airbnb experiences and I would recommend Clayton's house to anyone!"
4800040,27783293,2015-03-11,15176945,Dagny,"We didn't stay for very long, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Clayton's home. It was clean and organized, and on the kitchen counter he left a sheet of very helpful suggestions for food and activities around the area. We were well taken care of!"

I had a wonderful time in Austin and Clayton's home facilitated that incredibly.  I am extremely grateful for the forethought he had as well leaving extra sheets, blankets, and comforters for us.  All in all I would absolutely stay in Clayton's home again, his backyard was wonderful, the beds were comfortable, and the location was special! Thank you Clayton!"
4800040,28721947,2015-03-29,28099611,Jennifer,"I went to Austin for a long weekend to celebrate my birthday with a few friends. Clayton's house was the perfect spot for us! We weren't at the house much (the weather was too nice to be inside!), but its location was ideal. We never spent more than $10 (usually only $4-$6) for an Uber or Lyft and were even able to walk to a local brewery!  Clayton left us a bottle of wine, some cheese, breakfast items, and an amazing list of some his favorite spots. I highly recommend his suggestion for his favorite margarita on the east side. All these small gestures really add up to a fantastic experience.  The house itself has beautifully crafted cabinets and nice wood floors. We felt right at home as soon as we arrived! We really enjoyed the picnic table in the back yard. It was so nice to sit out there and enjoy our bottle of wine. This was my first experience with Air bnb, and Clayton and his house are setting my standards really high for future trips!"
4800040,28941280,2015-04-01,22049476,Tamara,"Clayton was a great host! The place is adorable and clean. And, when we needed a hair dryer because we forgot ours, Clayton went out and bought us one. Thanks for a great stay, Clayton!"

Clayton was kind enough to leave a hand written note and a bottle of wine upon arrival which was a really nice personal touch. My stay was great and I'd certainly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the austin area. Thank so much, Clayton! "
4800040,29261541,2015-04-06,25896379,John,The experience was fantastic.  The house is in a great location; it's easy to get around town with this address as a home base.  The house was clean and well stocked.  Clayton invited us to eat from the fridge and grab a beer.  This was my first Airbnb stay and was very positive.
4800040,29538079,2015-04-08,4494945,Greg,"Clayton was a great host — very quick to respond to questions, and he left a document for us with a list of things to do in the neighborhood. The house was a great place to stay in Austin. Would definitely stay again."

Clayton was very responsive and helpful. Couldn't have made our trip any nicer.
Hope to stay here the next time we come to Austin."
4800040,31337114,2015-05-04,19124122,Andrea,"Clayton's bungalow was perfect for my group's stay in Austin. He gave very clear instructions on how to enter the unit. When we arrived, he left us a note welcoming us with a bottle of wine. He also included info on the hot spots around the neighborhood as well. A great crashpad for those exploring Austin!"
4800040,31551352,2015-05-06,14738257,Rafeh,"Excellent experience. Went very smooth, and was well communicated.

Loved the tiny house, which has easily house 4-6 people(the only concern for some might be the single restroom) 

Other than that, everything was super clean and ready for us. Thanks for having us Clayton! Clayton is also super flexible from a timing standpoint, and let us in very early in the day! 

Thanks again! Best, Rafeh"
4800040,31877959,2015-05-11,415521,Karanina,"Great place! Very comfortable, and close to so many sites and activities! Breweries, butcher shop, restaurants, easy access to groceries and walking distance to much more. We came for Psych Fest and felt very much at home in Clayton's cozy spot. Clayton was extremely easy to work with and very accommodating! Thanks for a great experience."
4800040,32485630,2015-05-18,21964391,Kelly,Clayton's house was perfect for our needs. A tiny little bungalow in an awesome location. Clayton left wine and cheese and most importantly excellent recommendations for us. Would definitely stay again. 
4800040,32862379,2015-05-22,5853383,Lawayne,"Clayton was a Class A act with hospitality and responsiveness. The house was very clean, spacious, and had great water pressure (a pet peeve of mine). We enjoyed the french restaurant he recommended. The neighborhood was not our cup of tea - I would call it transitional and the house could use a couple upgrades but worth the price to rent an entire house."
4800040,33101498,2015-05-25,4447832,Hallie,"The listing was accurate to description. The neighborhood seemed a little on the rougher side at first glance, but worked out perfectly for us. It was also a little further from downtown Austin then I expected, but that was my misunderstanding of the map not Clayton's description. Luckily Uber was super easy to use and seemed to be available anytime. The inside of the house was very accommodating for our group of 6 (3 couples), and very cozy during the rainy nights we were there. The host was very courteous in leaving a nice bottle of wine and said we could eat/use whatever was in the fridge and cabinets."
4800040,34144967,2015-06-05,32997283,Brian,"Clayton was a great host. He had a list of local places we could eat there for us in a informational packet, along with anything we needed to know about the house. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed.  He left bagels, eggs and beer in the fridge for us which was a nice surprise.  The neighborhood had several little places to eat and was convenient to the downtown area.  The backyard is fenced in and was nice to chill out in.  We couldn't have asked for a better experience."
4800040,34287836,2015-06-07,22402921,Makenzie,Overall it was really enjoyable and cozy. Great central location and accessible to everywhere we wanted to go. Just enough space for everyone to put there things and get comfortable. So much more convenient than staying at a normal hotel and didn't have to worry about parking for once!  
4800040,34949340,2015-06-14,28408757,Michael,"The host was very hospitable. They had wine, cheese and crackers waiting for us when we arrived. "
4800040,35523715,2015-06-19,35392349,David,"This was a really nice place and I couldn't have asked for more! The house was on a quiet street and surrounding area was fun to explore. Clayton even left a bottle of wine and a guide to the city out for me when I checked in which was a nice touch. All in all it was a great experience and was hassle free. If you're looking for a place close to downtown, search no more!"
4800040,35744331,2015-06-21,5356827,Christopher,"Clayton provided a fridge full of snacks and a cabinet full of coffee. There was plenty of room for my guests and anything we wanted was a tiny uber ride away. Our stay was fantastic, quiet and memorable. Entry and exit was painless and Clayton was responsive every step of the way. I even left him a bunch of Topo Chico for the next lucky guests."
4800040,36620610,2015-06-29,36473052,Thao,"Great location! Very cute house, made me feel at home. Will def stay here again if I'm ever in Austin. "
4800040,37346312,2015-07-06,10538232,Scarlett,"Wonderful host, great home, and cool community! We have been to Austin multiple times before, but this time decided to try out AirBnB with some out of town friends (What Up West Coast?!) It was our first time booking through AirBnB and I'm glad Clayton's home was our first place to stay because it has been a wonderful experience. When entering, the home is exactly as described and viewed by pictures. There was wine, cheese, and crackers for us to enjoy (Homies loved it). Lastly everything was a 5-8 dollars Uber drive away (another first time for us old folks). We highly recommend this spot for your next home away from home in Austin (YOLO). I am looking to book this place in the future. Thanks again Clayton!"
4800040,37511449,2015-07-07,35876403,Justin,"We decided to got to Austin for the nigh and we had a blast. Aye good food, did some great local shopping and got a massage. All in all great Austin experience. It was so nice to come back to Clayton's well kept, trendy place that was so comfortable. Loved the feel and vibes his house put off."
4800040,38052458,2015-07-12,37279608,Kacey,Clayton was a fantastic host with a very lovely place. He was very hospitable despite some of my group's shortcomings. 
4800040,38445684,2015-07-15,36899122,Greg,Nice experience. Exactly what was advertised. 
4800040,38643015,2015-07-17,34524369,Kirsten,"We had a lovely stay at Clayton's home. It was clean, cute and just what we needed! Would definitely stay here again. "
4800040,39007478,2015-07-20,30174527,Patty,"House was fantastic. Clean, spacious, great location, well equipped . Clayton as a host could not have been better. A1 communication, friendly and helpful, provided cheese and wine on arrival, welcome note and list of things to do and see. Clayton and his place provided the platform for a memorable experience in Austin! Highly recommend"
4800040,39738593,2015-07-26,30343534,Chelsea,"We had a great time at Clayton's. There was a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us, and the place perfectly suited our needs. Was easy to get to and from around town. "
4800040,40834438,2015-08-02,23395972,Kira,"The location was perfect for an inexpensive cab ride to 6th street.  A trip to Lake Travis took less than 30 minutes.  Clayton was a great host pre-arrival and we didn't need anything from him while we were there.  
The neighborhood is diverse with older residents and plenty of hipsters bent on reviving the area.  Cafes & restaurants are a short drive or bike ride.  Walking is a little challenging due to  lack of sidewalks in some areas - but is certainly doable too.  I'd return."
4800040,42298831,2015-08-12,16470883,Dalton,My friends and I stayed at Clayton's for a week and it was amazing. Ubers are inexpensive to get to downtown and the neighborhood was great. Everything was very easy and relaxed for the four of us! We felt welcomed and it was cozy.
4800040,43002437,2015-08-16,12429283,Eddie,"Everything was as shown in the pictures.  The neighborhood was located just minutes away from downtown and very convenient.  The floor plan was open with plenty of space.  Rooms were comfortable and plenty of space for 6 people if needed.   Kitchen was great and had everything we needed to cook.  Clayton was kind and very accommodating, although we did not have the pleasure of meeting in person he was very responsive to all our needs immediately and made it very easy to access the house upon arrival which made it very smooth.   I would highly recommend his home and will definitely be staying again the next time we are in Austin!!  "
4800040,43330330,2015-08-18,41403502,Lorraine,Great place.  Can't wait to come again.  Thank you 
4800040,45028106,2015-08-30,42434978,Joshua,"Clayton was very flexible with check in and also booking the house at such last minute. The house was full of kitchen ware, bathroom necessities & the host was kind enough to provide food and drinks! The neighborhood is quiet, and location is not too far from all of Austin's great amenities. My party and I enjoyed our quick stay, and we would definitely recommend Clayton's home to all our friends and family."
4800040,45965463,2015-09-07,7158830,Megan,"Clayton's home was welcoming and lovely with ample, great accommodation for 6. He greeted us with a warm note and a bottle of wine and his friend network was great about helping us out when he wasn't in town."
4800040,46687073,2015-09-12,39084821,Isaac,"Great house. Clean, comfortable and hip. Had a great time in Austin and really enjoyed this home. Clayton was awesome to communicate with and really did everything he could to make our stay seamless. Highly recommended."
4800040,47674879,2015-09-21,39377869,Ian,"Clayton was very responsive with details and updates leading up to our stay which made the booking process very easy.

He has a beautiful place and is in a great location in Austin.  He provided us with a list of local attractions and restaurants which was great for our first time in Austin.  I highly recommend staying here."
4800040,48885686,2015-09-29,1634561,Lois,"This place is funky and comfortable for a short stay in Austin. Each bedroom was quiet and cozy, the kitchen was adequately stocked with spices and coffee, and a nice bottle of wine. Very easy to get to and from airport; some nice restaurants in easy walking distance from home; but you definitely need a car to get to downtown. 
Communication with host was easy and quick. Overall a pleasant stay"
4800040,49432448,2015-10-04,22739467,Juan Carlos,"The house was very nice, neighborhood was great, and Clayton was overall a great host. "
4800040,49923247,2015-10-07,5185788,Aimie,"Clayton was fantastical. He was always super quick to respond to any questions I had and upon arrival, he had a list of all the hot local spots and provided descriptions on everything possible for the home (where the router is, where the circuit breaker is, etc). He had even provided a bottle of wine which unfortunately was not opened since we mainly used the home to sleep in the evening but it was so kind of him. Everything was clean and as described in the listing. The neighborhood was quiet (with the exception of a dog who wouldn't stop barking one evening) and safe."
4800040,50437820,2015-10-12,36008404,Calli,"Clayton was such a wonderful host, waiting at the house were extra linens, a bottle of wine and a map with a list of some great spots within walking distance from the house! Such a nice touch."
4800040,51114610,2015-10-18,37894957,Van,"this was our first air bnb experience and clayton definitely made our stay pleasant.  the location was convenient to downtown and exactly what we were looking for.  the house was clean and linens were freshly washed.  he was prompt in returning questions and making sure everything was taken care of.  i'm not sure there is anything else we needed to make our visit any better.  overall, we loved our stay and we will definitely make arrangements here next time we're in town. "
4800040,51299086,2015-10-19,32221831,Tania,The listing description is very accurate. The bungalow is clean and very cosy. Clayton was very responsive with inquiries. 
4800040,52210233,2015-10-27,18715491,Vince,"Stayed here for the formula 1 weekend and it's situated perfectly between COTA and downtown. Short drive either way. Place was nice, clean, and cozy. Clayton was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions. I would stay here again next time I'm in Austin."
4800040,52939251,2015-11-02,1264800,Natalia,"The apartment was as described, clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable. Clayton left us a bottle of wine and cheese as a welcome gift, which was very lovely of him. He was easy to get in touch with and super accommodating to us leaving later than the normal check-out time.  Location is great. Walking distance to several restaurants - Justine's and Sawyer & Co, and a 5 min drive to other parts of East Side. The neighborhood is quite, residential, with lots of greenery. Would stay here again!"
7073072,45008720,2015-08-30,42145834,Mitchell,"Great experience with Jeffrey and the house! He responded promptly with all communication and had the place well outfitted for our arrival with all reasonable amenities. Easy 10 minute cab/Uber ride to downtown, but a good quiet spot to turn in at the end of the day."
7073072,47886767,2015-09-21,24395447,Bruno,"The house is amazing. Really, this place is amazing. It’s even nicer than it seems in the pictures. 10 minute Uber ride to downtown and really close to the bars at East 6th street. Perfect spot if you want to have fun in Austin. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. "
7073072,51960356,2015-10-25,6389518,Anna,"Jeffrey's place was even better than expected: spotlessly clean with fresh sheets and towels; a lovely luxurious feel, with comfy beds and a hot powerful shoer.  He was flexible with check in/check out times and it was easy to find, and get into the apartment.  The location is just a 10min taxi from anywhere that you would want to go.  I would have no hesitation staying here again.  Thanks, Jeffrey!"
7324907,51133815,2015-10-18,41708799,Janice,"Amy was the best hostess you could ever ask for!  We felt like VIP's with the wonderful fresh homemade pumpkin bread and goodie basket she left us. The house was immaculate, warm and inviting, we felt right at home.  All the beds were extremely comfortable, with high quality linens for the bedrooms and bathrooms.  This is a great home for a small family reunion, wonderful front and backyard with pool, covered porch with TV (feels like you are at a resort), etc.  We really enjoyed all gathering around the gigantic dining room table (seats 12 easily) in the evening for dinner and then games. This was our first time to ever use Airbnb but not our last if they are all as wonderful as this home.  You will not be disappointed by staying here and we highly recommend it if you are ever in need of a place to stay in the Austin area.  The location was great as well, not too far away from all the action (about 15 min) but in one of the nicest and most beautiful areas of Austin.  There were two major grocery stores very close by as well as several great restaurants.  Amy left a book for us with every detail you could think of about the house, the neighborhood, stores, recommended restaurants in the area, etc, and we took her advice on two restaurants that were wonderful!  Just can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was.  Great deal if you consider the price of 5 hotel rooms a night compared to this wonderful very large home.  Amy was in touch with me from the moment I booked the home 2 months ago answering all my questions and made me feel very good about our decision to select her house over a couple others that were a little less expensive.  Staying here you get your money's worth and then some!  Guarantee we will be staying here again should we have another get together in Austin!"
1422204,37270887,2015-07-05,37052212,Alex,"The space was simple, spacious and beautiful; exactly what we expected. Leeann's property, on which the cabin sits, is absolutely gorgeous. Oak trees with rope swings and chandeliers pepper the yard and provide awesome ambiance and shade. I could see myself spending the entire summer at Leean's place. She's probably the sweetest and kindest person we met during our stay in Austin and she and property are the perfect representation of the South Austin music/arts culture I've always heard about and admired. She not only set the bar for my future AirBnB experiences, but also the type of relationships I hope to build when I travel."
1422204,39324394,2015-07-22,37732775,Peter,"Leeann provides a great rustic experience in the heart of Austin.  I don't think you could have a location more convenient to where the action is in Austin!  As a host, she is very available, being right next door, and doesn't shy away from that situation that many host might see as an annoyance!  When the AC broke down, she had it replaced by the next day (nevermind that many Austin hosts don't have AC)!  The cabin is not the lap of luxury, but with the location, the price, and the warmth of the host, for my daughter and i, who were in Austin to DO things and not hang around the house, it was not just a good deal but a great time!  Also, don't forget to go see Leeann's band play at Maria's Tacos, it's not just rock'n, you also get to experience the close knit family vibe of the austin music scene..."
1422204,40361504,2015-07-30,3921136,Jenny,"We used Leeann's cabin for a family gathering, and despite the heat, the shaded oak tree filled yard proved to be a wonderful place to get the family together. Even in the middle of July! :) The cabin is sparse, but very charming - a big open room perfect for gatherings as well. And if you have a chance to book a band she has a whole stage in the back! Highly recommend it. "
1422204,45975234,2015-09-07,4930794,Alyssa,"Leeann was an A+ host! She went above and beyond for us.  She was friendly and accommodating, and made us feel right at home.  The cabin is in a lovely natural setting with trees in the yard with lots of squirrels and cute little critters running around.  It is rustic and simple inside, all wood, and has a small area with a kitchen sink and a medium size fridge.  It suited our needs nicely.  The cabin is in the trendy south part of Austin, and we enjoyed being in close proximity to Zilker park, South Congress, and the downtown area of Austin."
1422204,49613495,2015-10-05,40529621,Sarah,"This was a good neighborhood and the log cabin was great. We though it might be bigger and actually let a brother a sister crash with us, but it was really just big enough for my boyfriend and myself. It was a cute little place and I would definitely recommend it... perfect for ACL weekend. "
1422204,50442907,2015-10-12,39132079,Catherine,"My friends and I stayed in Leann's cabin while we were in town for Austin City Limits. It was the perfect place for us! Very close to everything we wanted to see, and the space was cute and cozy. And Leeann stopped by the first night we arrived to make sure we were comfortable and to make sure we had everything we needed. The cabin certainly made a great home base for our trip. I would definitely recommend it to anyone."
1622688,7613818,2013-09-26,8573699,Jarrad,"Very clean and comfortable space. It's a little bit out of town, so you'll need to have transport. Definitely stay here again. Sarah and James were great Hosts "
1622688,11680711,2014-04-12,8575136,Jock,"Great place, good location, easy access to airport and downtown. "
1622688,19154667,2014-09-07,292033,Brian,"The apartment was fantastic - exactly what we had hoped for! It is close to the airport (and all kinds of shops in Mueller), has a cook top and dishes for eating in, and was extremely comfortable with the Nest thermostat.

If you're looking for a place to stay in Austin, Sara's place is a fantastic option."
1622688,21223023,2014-10-13,18005292,Amanda,"I absolutely loved my stay at the Elwood Studio. I stayed at the apartment for a month, and it perfectly suited my needs as a short-term, furnished, affordable rental. The studio is clean and the space is very well utilized, with a large wardrobe for storage, a small kitchen with 2 stovetop burners for cooking, and a spacious bathroom. The location is very convenient, with close proximity to the interstate, the UT campus, and downtown. Sara is a great host who is very prompt in her responses and easy to work with. I would recommend this apartment to anyone! "
1622688,22291414,2014-11-03,3849727,Ruben,"Beautiful, comfortable and convenient place.  Sara has a wonderful studio and we loved staying in it."
1622688,26815041,2015-02-20,10566561,Randy,"Really nice place, great neighborhood and friendly neighbors!
I was there 6 weeks and loved it."
1622688,27445929,2015-03-04,13794979,Brenda,"I enjoyed my stay at Sara's. The pictures are pretty accurate and the amenities are nice.  The walls are a little thin in the bathroom, so you can hear her kids if they're playing, but I found that as long as I closed the bathroom door, it was pretty quiet. The location is right off I-35, which makes it really easy to get places. Sara was quick to respond to any questions I had, which I really appreciated.  It was very comfortable and I would consider staying here again."
1622688,37190809,2015-07-05,10786468,Sherri,"Sara's studio was perfect for my trip. The location was great, very close to family and to the airport. Loved all the peacocks in the neighborhood! Such a friendly neighborhood as well. Sara was very responsive to my questions and her place was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again!  "
1622688,50437128,2015-10-12,36502174,Edwin,"Sara and James were very inviting and cordial. They are super responsive to any problems you might have with this apartment. This apartment is a stone throw away from HEB , Wells Fargo, Starbucks and a skew of amenities for daily living. A bus stop is just outside the neighbourhood, a 3 minute walk away. Its even more convenient if you have a car as the I35 highway is just beside the neighbourhood. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay if you are looking to crash for a few nights. 
While there are animals in Sara's place, this is not an issue because Sara and James are considerate enough to keep their animals in the backyard. They are also very considerate about keeping noise levels to a minimal. "
1622688,52416091,2015-10-29,21506903,John,A beautiful space in a great location. Very comfortable bed. Well equipped kitchen. We'll plan our next trip to Austin around the availability of Elwood Studio. 
3826593,18834531,2014-09-01,17977060,Antoine,"The room is really large, you got a desk and a closet and a private bathroom which is really convinient !
This host is one of the best !! He'll show you around his city every day and night :p More like a personal tour of Austin (nice spot, bars and restaurants).
James is really friendly and helpfull !"
3826593,19917396,2014-09-20,11653980,Fredrik,"We had a great stay with James, he and his wife were both super friendly and helped us find the right places in town"
3826593,20918578,2014-10-07,11311096,Mat,"James was a great host!  We had some travel snafus, to which James could not have been more accommodating. His place is beautiful, close enough to the campus of UT to have access to all it offers, yet on a peaceful, quiet street! We rented bikes and were able to locate the shoal creek trail a couple of blocks away, which took us downtown easily.  There is food truck trailer park a short bike from his place too, all in all a great stay!"
3826593,21212001,2014-10-13,7077912,Meredith,We had a really good experience staying at James' place. Clean and comfortable room with our own entrance and parking. We didn't interact much but when we did James and his girlfriend were friendly. Would certainly recommend the space for anyone. 
3826593,21712822,2014-10-22,14731081,Elizabeth,"My friend and I really enjoyed our stay with James; his home is very cute and in a great location in Austin - although Austin is a big city, there were quite a few things we could walk to.  Everything was very clean when we arrived and he even let us borrow his bikes.  "
3826593,21916850,2014-10-26,20734092,Camilo,"We had a great time staying at James and Lace house. They made us feel like it was our home.

The room was very comfortable and close to everything, James even let us use their bicycles to get around.

Thank you guys for the amazing time, we hope to see you in the future.
"
3826593,21961119,2014-10-27,21659776,Joe,Great location.  Great host.  I would definitely stay here again.
3826593,22316147,2014-11-03,5968549,N D,I loved the house and neighborhood.  James waited until I arrived to go do what he had planned for the day.  He was sweet enough not to tell me that so I got to his house at my leisure.  The house is one I wished I owned.  
3826593,22587117,2014-11-10,5042890,Gabe,James' house is one of the best AirBNB places I have ever stayed at.  It's in a quiet peaceful neighborhood within 10 minutes walk to major bus routes.  They took very good care of me when I was their guest and I would highly recommend staying in their place if you want a relaxed stay in Austin.
3826593,25122424,2015-01-06,25634059,Nina,The reservation was canceled 69 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3826593,25369554,2015-01-13,6632488,Kathryn,"Adorable house and room. Short walk to food and 7/11, and reasonable walk to everywhere else. We mostly did our own thing, but appreciated the friendly chats with James and his lady, who made us feel very welcome in the house and in Austin! Thanks!"
3826593,26335291,2015-02-09,15755564,Preeta,James was a wonderful host! He had great advice about areas and restaurants in Austin. He was friendly and welcoming and we can't wait to go back. 
3826593,26697267,2015-02-17,20482955,Mike,James has a great property in an amazing location. We went out for lunch when we arrived and he offered to go out for lunch with us and told us everything we needed to know to make the most of our weekend. 
3826593,26873358,2015-02-21,3812957,Lauren,"Great host! Accurate listing, very clean. Basically being on campus, we felt like we were UT students for the weekend; but in the comforts of a house, not a dorm. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to meet James until we were on our way out, but he was on point with communicating during check in and offered lots of recommendations for local spots (Halcyon, Bert's BBQ, Spider House, The Gypsy Lounge). Also, HUGE plus that there's a driveway in the back that we were able to use since he warned us you might get a ticket if parking on the street (reserved for residential permits only). "
3826593,27025788,2015-02-23,3132099,Carolina,The house is really cozy and beautiful. Everything was very good.
3826593,27307543,2015-03-01,28254120,Sarah,James's home was really conveniently located and the room was great. He provided a lot of good suggestions on things we could do in Austin and restaurants which was helpful since we were pretty limited by weather. I would definitely recommend
3826593,27542431,2015-03-07,25365166,Eli,"James was a great host, very hospitable and had fantastic recommendations for what to check out in the city - and the place is in  a superb location for walking around "
3826593,28121737,2015-03-18,26221300,Jordi,"Habitación situada en una zona tranquila cerca de la Universidad. James estuvo pendiente de mi llegada, y aunque llegué tarde por la noche le pude llamar para encontrar la dirección exacta. Habitación grande y cómoda."
3826593,28824787,2015-03-30,19257398,Jacklyn,"Great central location close to downtown, parks, and UT. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. Great accommodation for me and my 2 friends. It was great that we had a place to park our car in the back of the house. Lace was really sweet! "
3826593,28914279,2015-03-31,2082902,Patrick,Beautiful house in a gorgeous neighborhood just blocks away from DT. Super comfy bed/room with a private patio was a great bonus. Would def recommend this place to the Austin traveler. 
3826593,29438614,2015-04-07,26534542,Andrew,James was a great host. Bed was very comfortable and easy to come and go. Happened to be there during Easter Sunday and they invited me even for some food and drinks. Would stay here again if I visited Austin!
3826593,30002305,2015-04-15,30677614,Ken,"Great (email hidden)eat feedback on where to eat, drink, visit...generously let me borrow bike for getting around...James & Lace were really welcoming!"
3826593,30330825,2015-04-20,19112130,Jackie,"The host made me feel welcome, before I arrived when figuring out keys and arrival times, when I arrived and during my three night stay. Our intersections were a good balance of friendliness and privacy. The neighborhood is lovely and perfectly located for events at UT. You can walk to campus. And, if you are a runner, there are many places to run. Also, you might want to show up with a bike. 

You have a private room in a modest home that is separated from the main living area by a small vestibule and a door.  You do share a bathroom, but it was clean and there was never an access issue. I would have preferred a few more amenities in the room, like a mirror and an uncluttered closet, but all in all I was comfortable and felt good staying there."
3826593,30727126,2015-04-26,30968230,Bill,James was friendly and accomodating. The house was nice and my room was clean. The off street parking was very convenient. 
3826593,30825429,2015-04-27,24761167,Marianna,James was a great host. House and location also excellent.
3826593,31305031,2015-05-04,5518418,Esther,"James was very helpful in terms of what to do and where to go.  The bed was extremely comfortable.  The location is great and close to the  Capitol, Bullock State History Museum and the University. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.  I would recommending staying at James' place for your stay in Austin.  "
3826593,31676086,2015-05-08,5992554,Lynn,"The house is in a nice neighborhood, close to downtown and the university.  The bed was very comfortable.  Simple amenities in the bedroom-- bed, desk and chair.  Shared bathroom as advertised.  

There's not really a separate entrance as the door to the outside doesn't lock.  We had to enter the house through the front door.  

When we arrived, no one was home and we were a little confused about the set-up:   internet hook-up, access to the kitchen for a drink of water,  and how much we could use the rest of the house.  Clear info from the hosts about all that would be helpful~~

3826593,31920846,2015-05-11,31288199,Nick,Very friendly hosts.  We used the private entrance mostly just because we were out exploring Austin so we didnt hang around the room much.  Very comfortable bed.   Met expectations exactly.  
3826593,32302937,2015-05-16,33467921,Heather,The host canceled this reservation 139 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3826593,33262057,2015-05-26,9463280,Kevin,James was really gracious to let us stay in his room. The bed was really comfy and he gave us suggestions on things to do in Austin which were all spot on. The location was really nice too.
3826593,34608915,2015-06-09,35109073,Lisa,"This was a lovely home in a great location. James was very flexible for my check in when some things came up on my end, and the guest bed was very comfortable! This was a great first time experience with air bnb."
3826593,35040345,2015-06-14,35411197,Kevin,"Our stay was perfect. Ideal location for visiting UT campus. Off street parking was a huge plus. Our host was very accommodating, especially with our unexpected delay in arriving.
Clean, quiet, and convenient. Highly recommended."
3826593,35190478,2015-06-15,12533737,Tim,James was very helpful in giving us a place to sleep at the last minute. Everything was just as promised and the location is great. 
3826593,35888023,2015-06-22,36086340,Karen,"Although the house was located in noisy West Campus, the location was quiet, calm, and safe. The house was cozy and had a good sized restroom and bed. Also, the house was decorated very nicely. I would definitely stay there again! Great price and location because it's close to the university and not far from downtown. "
3826593,37588055,2015-07-08,3635565,Debra,I had a great experience staying with James.  The house is in a great central location and James and his girlfriend are very friendly hosts.  He suggested a lot of great places to check out.  The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable.  I would stay with James again in a heartbeat!
3826593,40875346,2015-08-02,22359032,Col,"James was out of town, but his girlfriend Lace was a wonderful host."
3826593,40974220,2015-08-03,38373495,Amanda,My boyfriend and I came in town for a wedding that was walking distance from this house. The location could not have been more perfect. There was lots of great things to do within walking distance. The house was exactly what we were looking for. The room was a good size for the two of us and it felt as if we had the bathroom to ourselves. I'd recommend this place. 
3826593,44227972,2015-08-24,7545424,Leslie,We had a wonderful weekend moving my daughter into her dorm at UT. The house was in a quiet neighborhood just a few blocks from the dorm.  It was the perfect option for the two of us.  I would definitely stay there again during one of our visits this fall.  
3826593,47588284,2015-09-20,41001600,Al,Great location in the west campus area. The hosts were super friendly.
3826593,47708415,2015-09-21,40811802,Christen,The room was great and James and lacy were very welcoming! Definitely no complaints there. The room was situated on the front of the house and some neighbors had a late party which made sleeping a bit of a challenge but that is nothing they can control. Overall very happy - the location couldn't be beat for game day.
3826593,49350230,2015-10-03,43309026,Salar,"James and his girlfriend were really nice, kind and helpful people. I enjoyed my stay at their place, it was close to UT campus (20 min walk) and it was located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. James gave me a lot of good information on places to visit during my stay at Austin, and I should mention that he is a great tour guide too. I will definitely consider staying there again next time I visit Austin."
3826593,50626024,2015-10-13,24698104,Luisa,"James was extremely nice with us! He was very helpful with everything we needed to know during our stay in Austin for the ACL Fest and for everything else. We just loved staying at James home in his Elegant Room. Also, the neighborhood is very very nice, not only beautiful but very convenient because it is very close to everything, when I say everything I really mean 'everything'. We didn't have a rented car, we always took Lyft or Uber and the prices were very low to get everywhere a tourist needs to go in Austin. 

The room is exactly as shown. Since we got to the house James told us to not worry about making noise, he told us we could use the kitchen at any time, he even said we could eat whatever we wanted from his refrigerator. But off course we bought some things for us, however I had to mentioned it, he is juts awesome :)

- Thank you James!

Luisa Meluk."
3826593,51289074,2015-10-19,1360826,Thomas,Enjoyed my stay here. Comfortable room and great location close to UT. Thanks!
3826593,51930670,2015-10-25,44755920,Jackie,"James and friends were wonderful and so welcoming to my friend and I.  The house was perfect and what I would think of the feel of Austin, TX.  Artsy and quaint southern charm home.  The room was a good size and the bed was extremely comfortable.  James was very accommodating, providing his driveway and making sure I had a key to the house.  Close to the campus, walking distance for those that want a little hike.  A $7.00 Uber charge home from 6th st.  Thank you James and I appreciate everything!  "
3826593,52339841,2015-10-28,30110559,Matt,"James and his partner lace were very generous and welcoming, giving a quick tour of the house and talking a little bit about what was going on that weekend in their city. James offered to let me park in his driveway due to needing a sticker to park in the neighborhood streets, but the few times I parked on the street I wasn't hassled. The house was nice, albeit old, in a very nice neighborhood of Austin called west campus.  The house was decorated well and had all the amenities needed. "
3826593,53314019,2015-11-07,48253994,John,Great house and very clean.  A very friendly experience!
3999345,28137509,2015-03-18,1387284,Sharon,"Angela and her family (including the kitty Dignan!) were very welcoming to their awesome East Side unit. The house is everything as written & photographed plus more (especially for a design/digital/outdoor nerd like myself) with the comforts of a cool but comfortable home. Colleagues and I enjoyed the open space which allowed us to work together as well as have privacy when needed. Unfortunately, we didn't have more time to relax out back. Since we were there for SXSW, the best part was the close proximity to the ACC as well as the happenings on 6th St without the noise factor. It's a good 10-15 minute walk in a safe area.

This was Angela and Oliver's first time renting out on Airbnb, and they were like old pros. Super hospitable and accessible without being overwhelming. They also provided just what was needed too. Thanks again!"

5213051,28083825,2015-03-17,6481487,Matt,Zach's space was ideal for me & my colleagues to spend time during SXSW. He was incredibly responsive and a phenomenal host – and was incredibly flexible and responsive as our plans and needs changed. The place is ideally situated as well – a stone's throw from the action and definitely in a nice and quiet neighborhood.

5143428,40006303,2015-07-27,25725647,Carl,Neil was great. Check in was crazy easy. The place had plenty of space for our group of five. The condo is close enough to walk to almost anything and a really short uber to 6th st. Food trucks parked just down the street. We also enjoyed the downstairs hot tub. We are hoping to come back again next year. Would definitely recommend.

5143428,40961397,2015-08-03,37834074,Kaitlyn,"Working with Neil was a little hit or miss, the communication wasn't very quick, nor was he clear on the whole process. The place is exactly like the pictures. There is one key which you have to use for even getting in the building which was a bit of a nuisance for a bigger group, but doable. The place would probably better accomadate 4 people, we had 6 so we had 2 people in the bed, 2 on the couch, and thankfully a friend brought an air mattress for 2 more people. There is parking in the building which was a plus. Location is in a great spot, short distance to all the main sights of downtown Austin. You do need to supply your self with the necessities when staying here, toilet paper, some towels, trash bags, etc. Overall my group had a great time, the place worked out well for us no major complaints. "
5143428,41299319,2015-08-05,14268633,Chris,"After a bit of confusion on how to get into the building everything was perfect. 

Tip once you enter the parking garage go all the way straight until you hit a wall. there is the box you will use to call him and the door you use to the unrestricted elevator is thru that door"

Communicating with Neil was very easy and he always replied immediately to my questions both before and during my stay. The apartment is in a great location and having parking was a big plus for us.

5143428,53001490,2015-11-03,20698862,Van,"This place was beautiful, with a nice view and minutes from 6th street and down town. Neil was courteous in letting us know how to get there. The only down side was it was filthy when we came in,  there was a glitch with maid service so we had to wait a little bit, for the people to clean. My friends and I wanted to relax with some TV after a night of drinking, but the it wasn't working so it forced us out of the house which was great!"
5143428,53093026,2015-11-04,4318363,David,"Neil Was great. We were only staying for one night, and arriving late to meet friends for dinner. Due to un-forseen circumstances beyond Neil's control, the apartment hadn't been cleaned, but Neil was quick to remedy the situation and make sure we had a comfortable stay. The apartment looks just like the pics and was beautiful and well located.  I'd both recommend and stay again my next time in Austin. "
5434918,32068236,2015-05-13,20641120,Kcammee,Great location and very nice unit. Comfortable and enjoyed the stay.

5434918,51600061,2015-10-21,3434005,Andy,Great place in the best neighborhood of Austin. Host was incredibly helpful and has thought of all the little things to make the place super easy.
5434918,52193086,2015-10-26,4086354,Juan,"Cynthia, Peach, and Jay were absolutely amazing hosts. Their attention to detail in regards to the furnishing made us feel like we were truly home away from home. Additionally, their kind demeanor and willingness to help made the trip a complete success despite the horrendous weather we had. I would recommend any of their units highly because I know that they go through great trouble to ensure a wonderful experience for all involved. Additionally, you couldn't beat this location. 5 minutes from downtown yet still green and scenic. "
6291669,33403748,2015-05-27,21968115,Jordan,"I really enjoyed my stay at cina's place, very clean and had lots of room for my girly stuff I drag around :d The area was convenient... great little food stops close by and to basically anywhere else in Austin. Cina answered promptly to any of my questions, definitely would recommend. "
6291669,41047921,2015-08-03,20727678,Gilbert,"Cina was very kind and helpful. He helped us in a tight spot after our previous airbnb cancelled on us last minute. The room was clean, the location was great (short drive to most places we wanted to go in Austin) and it was easy to get in contact with Cina."
6291669,44364479,2015-08-25,40955610,Adrian,"Nice shabby chic/ industrial home in Eastside. Very conveniently located near the UT and a bunch of cool places on Manor road. The place was quiet at night so that I was able to get a good nights sleep.
Due to our different rhythms (nighthawk vs. early bird) we didn't interact much :)  but when we did, Cina would kindly answer any question which would come up.

5848344,31967894,2015-05-12,22175455,Maral,"Mary was an amazing host she was super accommodating and her home was lovely. Our little family had a great stay in her place, we all got rest, and had a blast in Austin as usual! The location is very central for what we enjoy doing. Super easy to get in and get out with everything we could have needed and wanted on vacation! Waaaayyyyy better than a hotel any day!"
5848344,33116532,2015-05-25,146632,Sara,I love this house and the location.  Minutes from everything you need and a short walk to Zilker.  House was very clean and inviting.  Mary leaves you with a check in code and check out instructions-super easy.  We didn't cook but the kitchen is large if you have people over.  
5848344,33920940,2015-06-02,9721412,Megan,House is exactly as you see it. Super clean and chic. Beds are really comfy and there was plenty of space for our family. Mary was very helpful and accessible as needed. I highly recommend this house and host! We would stay there again in a heartbeat!
5848344,34184416,2015-06-05,7157695,Mary Anne,"Mary got in touch with us only a little while after we contacted us, which was great since it was a spur of the moment trip.  
Cute house in good location.  Looks just like pictures.
The one bathroom is a ""Jack and Jill"" type between the two bedrooms.    "
5848344,34439968,2015-06-08,25815883,Stefan,"The place was great, very happy with my experience. "
5848344,34734239,2015-06-11,2109383,Bj,"I think I have officially stayed in all of Mary's houses. This is another home run. Super close to Barton Springs. The house is really nice. Comfy beds. It's a perfect size for a small family, a group of friends, or for a business traveler like me who likes to have access to washer/dryer and a full kitchen. "
5848344,34964323,2015-06-14,32142451,Susan,"We were very happy with our stay at Mary's house in this Zilker Park neighborhood.  The house was very clean and comfortable plus a little funky.  A few things that stood out that we especially liked were the TV room at the back, the comfortable pillows and linens, and the clutter-free combined living room and kitchen.   The neighborhood was nice and we wished we had had more time for exploring.   The house is conveniently located to downtown Austin yet far enough away to have a neighborhood feel.  

"
5848344,36699042,2015-06-30,764047,Lindsey,"Twice now my family has stayed in one of Mary's airbnb homes while in Austin and every time we love the experience! The home was cozy, beautifully furnished and made for a relaxing getaway week. The location of this home could not have been better. We cannot wait to visit again!"
5848344,37233443,2015-07-05,15304392,Christine,"My group came to Austin for a girls weekend and LOVED this home in the Zilker Park area. It's really a prime Austin location to get around and do all of the things you want to do in Austin. The home looked exactly like it did in the pictures, and even more spacious than we thought. Everything is decorated nicely - very crisp and clean. We couldn't stop talking about how perfect the spot was. Mary was very responsive throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend this to someone visiting Austin and plan on staying here again if I have the need."
5848344,37760447,2015-07-10,2333843,Olivia,"The listing description was very accurate. The house was bright, clean and spacious. Mary took care of details from wine glasses to shampoo and conditioner, making it feel like home! There are two living spaces so I was able to use one as a make-shift office.

The location worked better than I imagined. I think the farthest I had to drive to get to one of my destinations was 18 minutes. I was able to walk to local restaurants, Whole Foods (although a long walk), and Barton Springs!

I've stayed at three Airbnbs in Austin, and this one by far has been my favorite! I stayed while on business, but I am so looking forward to coming back and staying here for pleasure! "
5848344,38083007,2015-07-12,38035711,Stephen,"We really loved our stay at the Kinney house.  Mary was prompt in replying, and the house was stylish, clean, and cozy.  Location was very convenient--close to Barton Springs and numerous great food options.  We spent our Friday night going just 5 minutes away to 4th street, and our Saturday and Sunday hopping from Ramen Tatsu-ya to Chilantro to Uchi and Odd Duck, all within walking distance.  Wish we had more time to spend in Austin and at the Kinney house!  Highly recommend."
5848344,38548687,2015-07-16,28839682,Kensey,Loved staying in this beautiful little home! Mary is a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. She ran and got a Porto crib for us and left it in the home because we forgot ours. The house itself is in such a wonderful location and is about as charming as they come! Looking forward to staying again! 
5848344,42587847,2015-08-14,27978265,Daniel,"Beautiful little house, well decorated, great neighborhood, close to lots of interesting stuff (bike ride or short drive). Useful notes on nearby restaurants along with the house rules. "
5848344,45926621,2015-09-07,11914463,Kathryn,"We rented a second property from Mary and her husband because we traveled to Austin with another family. The houses are a short distance from each other and this one was just as darling as Zilker House (where we stayed). Mary and her husband have a knack for decorating; if you love mid-century modern and funky neighborhoods, this is your kind of place!"
5848344,46994947,2015-09-14,43638461,Kari,Great Airbnb rental! The house lived up to the pictures posted and the location can't be beat.  
5848344,47983574,2015-09-22,40511027,Laura,Mary made my first Air BNB experience a great one! She replied promptly to e-mails. The house was everything we expected plus some!   Love how central the house was to everything in Austin. We were able to walk to a few bars and Alamo Drafthouse. The house was cozy and perfect for a day to hang around and play games. 
5848344,49204989,2015-10-02,30495420,Jennifer,"This house is exactly as pictured! The location is great, just a short walk to the Alamo Drafthouse, and a short ride to downtown. The beds were super comfortable after a day of walking around. Mary left menus and suggestions of places in the house for us. I would stay here again!"
5848344,50436563,2015-10-12,37189565,Erika,"Perfect neighborhood and perfect location. Close to parks, walking distance to festival, and short drive to downtown. We loved our stay here and the house is so cute inside!"
5848344,50990551,2015-10-16,5837261,Breezy,"We booked Mary's Zilker house for my mom's first visit to Austin (and her first Airbnb experience). We had a great stay. Mary's place is beautifully decorated, super clean, and comfortable. It's obvious that she takes hosting seriously and is a real pro. We thought the location was better than any of the local hotel options. Highly recommend!"
5848344,51320011,2015-10-19,43170921,Jose,"We found the home in excellent conditions. Everything was very clean and organized and the decoration is really nice. There was the perfect amount of space for 4 adults. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and it is very close to amenities on South Lamar, shops, grocery store, and restaurants. We did not have any hiccups, so there was no need to contact Mary for anything. Everything that we needed was available to us.

I would highly recommend this home and the host."
4855796,47895614,2015-09-21,18233760,Manu,Michael was an awesome host! Such an inviting space and a cool host to boot. Makes you feel at home. Would highly recommend for someone looking for a nice place in Austin.

4855796,51862842,2015-10-24,7883666,Cindy,"Michael's place was comfortable and clean, lovely black lab and fluffy cat welcomed me. After my evening meetings, we had an interesting conversation on world issues and environment. Everything I needed was readily available, I would recommend this place to all."
4855796,52197804,2015-10-26,9573346,Mustafa,"Unfortunately I couldn't make it to Michael's place due to a rain storm happened and forced me to cancel my trip.

Nevertheless, Michael was very promptly responsive and keen to help 
He followed up on what time I will be arriving, as thought initially I will be still traveling. He was very welcoming and willing to help"
4855796,52951950,2015-11-02,36568871,Dani,"Michael was an excellent host; polite, communicative and available to help or offer advice. When he welcomed me into his home, he even offered to drive me to the airport the next day. He provided fresh towels as well as a washing machine and dryer. The neighborhood is very beautiful, if not a little far from downtown, and very green and quiet. Michael's home was comfortable, and I was very pleased with my stay. "
5324232,28179205,2015-03-19,3167357,Kaare,"Alex was an amazing host. Kind and helpfull. The house was perfect for us - we were a group of three. It takes ‘bout half an hour to reach the city center on foot, but it’s cheap to take a taxi. "
5324232,28439203,2015-03-23,12655945,Xavier,"We stayed at this house during SXSW, hectic time for most. Alex was a great host! Kind, and he was there to accommodate all of our needs. When we got to the house it was more than we expected, we were surprised with more room than we anticipated. We would definitely choose to return in the future! GREAT STAY! LOVE AUSTIN"
5324232,46186198,2015-09-08,27336833,Alex,"Alex's place is perfect for a short or a long stay. It's a nice area with several restaurants nearby, and it has plenty of parking so even large parties will have no problem with (website hidden): WiFi password is on the fridge, it just seemed like a random note so we didn't notice that's what it was until we asked for it."
5324232,50677731,2015-10-13,31186087,Alex,Alex was a great host for my group in Austin during ACL weekend. We had one minor issue with the kitchen sink but Alex was very responsive and fixed the issue within the same day. I would certainly recommend his place and would certainly stay there again should I find myself in Austin. 
5749917,29341187,2015-04-06,26874584,Andres,"Brant was a great host! He recommended some great places to eat and places to go! The apartment was very clean and tidy. The location was excellent. Not to close, not too far and easily accessible. "
5749917,33094731,2015-05-25,25495761,Lisa,"Brant was very communicative and easy going from the beginning! 
He responded very quickly to any messages and was always reachable. The place is simply fantastic and as described. I was able to get my much needed breakfast blend with the help of his handy Keurig !!  The location is quiet and private, calm view from patio, the bed was comfortable. I would absolutely stay there if I should visit Austin again. "
5749917,33512486,2015-05-29,30716283,Joe,"Great place to stay right in the heart of Austin. We got there right in the middle of the insane rain/flooding, and still had an easy time finding it, so if you come when the streets aren't closed down, I bet you'll have no trouble at all!

It's a safe area and really close to parks, restaurants, campus, and pretty much everything else. If you're heading to Austin, I would definitely recommend checking this place out."
4408262,28078091,2015-03-17,4262753,Kristen,"We stayed at Dane & Ryan's house for SXSW. It was perfect! It's about a 10-15 minute drive to downtown, very close to a brand new HEB and Torchy's tacos. The house was clean, we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Dane and Ryan were lovely hosts--would stay there again! 

"
4408262,28396977,2015-03-23,27289317,Bryant,"We came down from New York for SXSW and stayed at Dane & Ryan's lovely home. The residence is very clean and comfortable. You will immediately feel at home once you're settled in. The living accommodations were incredible and it is very close to downtown Austin. There are great restaurants around the area and everything you need is no less than 5 minutes away. If you have a chance to stay at this place please do so. Dane & Ryan are excellent hosts and make sure their home feels like your own. The backyard is very peaceful. The house is close to the city, but far enough for you to have a peaceful and comfortable vacation. "
4408262,33384895,2015-05-27,31378698,Ryan,We had a group of six individuals stay in this cute little home for a group trip. We were very close to downtown and were very pleased with the state of the home and had very pleasant interactions with Dane and Ryan. I would definitely recommend this home for other individuals as well as myself for future vacations in the area.
4408262,37375196,2015-07-06,33500247,Vrinda,"My husband and I stayed at Dane & Ryan's for the long weekend with our friends. We were 6 adults, one child and a dog. The property was perfect for our needs. The backyard and the front patio had plenty of seating for all of us to relax and enjoy. The location is great with plenty of green around it, close to the city but just far enough to be away from the noise. 
 
The house is well equipped with all sorts of amenities to make it a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were spacious and clean. 

Dane & Ryan were very thoughtful and had some refreshments in the refrigerator for our arrival. Communication with them was easy and they were very quick to respond to messages.  

I would definitely recommend staying at Dane & Ryan's! "
5235691,28400979,2015-03-23,22932278,K Paola,"We stayed at Abe's place for SXSW (Music). My husband and I got there later than my nephews and friends and every single one of them called me to let me know how amazing the place was. He really went out of his way to make sure we had EVERYTHING we could possibly need around a house (aero beds, blankets, pillows, snacks, coffee, drinks, water bottles, extra keys, etc.) I'm really ok with places as long as they're clean but Abe's house went beyond expectations. He wasn't there to let us in but he made sure we didn't need him for anything. The place was super spacious yet cozy and although it was walking distance to downtown, it was still a quiet neighborhood. I had some issues with another place before booking and he was so patient with me in the process of booking. Abe was a great host so I would definitely recommend this place:)"
8630133,51240455,2015-10-18,46419194,Caitlin,"I greatly enjoyed my stay at Ashley's house.  Her house was inviting with very creative and personal decorations. Also, her adorable and playful dog was a joy to have in the house. Though Ashley and I never actually met due to both of our busy schedules, she was very accessible through messaging. Ashley made me feel at home in her house and within the city of Austin by giving lots of local recommendations. I would definitely stay with Ashley if I travel to Austin again!"
8630133,51822589,2015-10-24,9742041,Justin,Everything was perfect!
8630133,51875021,2015-10-24,9742041,Justin,"Please book with Ashley, you will not regret it!"
8630133,52439664,2015-10-29,15419252,Jason,Felt at home. Great vibe. Great dog. Slept great. 2 miles from Whole Foods if you want a quick meal. 
8630133,52648242,2015-10-31,9742041,Justin,Great!
5695891,33193074,2015-05-25,6520301,Priscilla,Christopher and his wife were very responsive and kind! My friends loved their home and will definitely try to rebook during out next visit to Austin!
5695891,34393320,2015-06-07,29640554,Christy,"Chris and his wife were great hosts, I did not have the pleasure of meeting them, but they left us notes and little surprises (a bottle of wine) to make us feel welcome, as well as being a call and text away for questions. They were so very accommodating, I needed a place the same day as I drove into Austin and they graciously accepted me and got the place ready for us all. When we got there it looked just like the pictures and maybe even a little better. It was clean, and open with comfortable furniture/beds and a kitchen with goodies to help us relax after the long drive in. There were 2 rooms in the house with a patio walkway to an attached 3rd room, all of which were nice and comfortable. The bathroom was very cute and clean, plenty of fresh towels etc. The neighborhood I knew pretty well as I am from Austin, and it was quiet even with lots of new construction going on, on the older homes in the area. It has very easy access to highways and was absolutely a great place to stay. I would definitely stay here again in the future and would recommend it to anyone."
5695891,35039447,2015-06-14,35394685,Timothy,"There's not one bad thing I can say about my experience in my stay at Christophers house, the house more then we expected it to be, the beds were extremely comfortable. He was very responsive to all my questions and provided updates without me having to ask. It was in a great location not to far from anything.  You will be so lucky if you get the opportunity to stay at their house."
5695891,35700432,2015-06-21,25770608,Rico,"The house was great, my party and I stayed there for a wedding weekend and it was everything we need and close proximity to I 35, I would definitely stay there again and the host was great and easy to get in touch with!!"
5695891,36847871,2015-07-01,37097147,Dilawar,"Christopher was responsive, home was available on less than 24 hours notice, all the amenities of home were here, was perfect for family members meeting up after long flights from around the world. The key code entry made it easy for one family member to book and another to arrive before the booking member did. 

Thank you for the lovely notes and for having a washing machine, dryer AND laundry detergent."
5695891,40845361,2015-08-02,39631765,Hollie,"First of all, before I even arrived at the house, Christopher was very communicative and helpful in the days leading up to my stay at the house. He answered any questions I had, and was very understanding when I had to shift my plans slightly. 

Upon arriving at the house, I found it clean and as lovely as the pictures make it seem. I was very satisfied with my stay there, and it worked for my group of friends and myself. 

The only drawback was that the front door was difficult to open at times, but Christopher informed me of this before I arrived, so I knew to expect it. "
5695891,41821121,2015-08-09,12639859,Magda,"A couple of friends and I stayed here for a weekend trip to Austin.
The neighborhood was quiet and in a good location for everything we wanted to do on our trip (like Austin Karaoke!) 
The house itself was bright, clean, minimally decorated, and perfectly cozy. There was enough space for the five of us plus a dog, which Chris and Diana kindly let us bring with us for the visit. There's three comfy beds, a big kitchen if you want to cook meals, a refrigerator with La Croix and water, and coffee; living room with a sectional and HDTV; and a bathroom with towels and traveler sized supplies for guests.
The only issue which was very minor was the front door which stuck, but Diana and Chris were a quick phone call away and were very helpful with getting it open.
We all had an awesome time here and we'd definitely stay again!"
5695891,50380095,2015-10-11,35775414,Peter Hardy,It was a very very good idea to go to Christopher and his supernice house in Austin. Everything went without any problem and I don't hesitate one mikrosecond to recommend him to every other customer of airbnb. Thanks a lot for beeing your guest - if we will come back to Austin we would very glad to be there again!  *****
8570156,50547982,2015-10-12,3393966,Shadman,"We visited Austin during the second ACL weekend. The Suite/House was located merely a couple of miles from the ACL venue, and we were able to find ample parking just a short drive from the house and easy walk to ACL. The Suite itself was nice, clean, artistically decorated, backs up to wooded wilderness and on a quite Cul-De-Sac on top of a hill. Downtown is a 15 min drive, easy access to multiple restaurants as well as other Austin attractions. All in all, an excellent experience and would surely recommend the place to others."
8570156,51364034,2015-10-19,19241156,Jacob,Casey has a beautiful place in a quiet neighborhood that provided the perfect living situation for visiting Austin. She was prompt and available when we had a question and made the stay easy on us.
8570156,52417957,2015-10-29,45207724,Jared,"The guest suite was easy to access with key safe, and we felt immediately at home.  Everything is up-to-date and wonderfully functional.  It's a fabulous place to stay in a very nice, hilly neighborhood, off the beaten path yet close to just about everything.  You will appreciate your privacy while still knowing you are a guest at Casey's home."
2855712,13968028,2014-06-09,15150536,Josh,"Experience with the host was wonderful. We did not get to meet Jenny but she was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. The apartment was beautiful but unfortunately was not completely furnished while we were there. However Jenny kindly informed us of this issue the day before our stay and was willing to make it up to us. Since we didn't plan on spending much time in the apartment, this wasn't a major issue for us. "
2855712,21215944,2014-10-13,16259697,Jake,"We had a great time at ACL this past weekend and especially were pleased with our accommodations!  Everything was as described and seen in the pics.  The bed was quite comfortable and the flat had plenty of room for the two of us to spread out and relax before and after our trips to Zilker Park.

Jenny was prompt with all correspondence and met us at the apartment right on schedule.  Her recommendation for the best fish taco's in Austin was spot on!  Overall a great experience!       "
2855712,21952775,2014-10-27,20972695,Rally,"Jenny was very responsive throughout the process. She even met me at the property upon my arrival to show me around and answer questions. Jenny had also prepared a welcome sheet with FAQs and recommendations on what to do / where to eat.

I was in town for the half Ironman triathlon, so the open floor plan was perfect for organizing all of my gear. The location was a short walk/drive to 6th street, the Whole Foods flagship store and Mellow Johnny's bike shop. If I had more time, I would have spent it bronzing on the back porch because it's huge!

I would stay at the Treehouse again on my next trip to Austin."
2855712,25574575,2015-01-19,17980099,Peter,"The treehouse is in an amazing location in Old West Austin, easy to get anyway around town. Jenny was super helpful and accommodating, she was friendly and quick to respond with any questions we had, and overall professional to deal with. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary in Austin and Jenny provided recommendations as well as a relaxing atmosphere for us to enjoy it. 
We will definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks again!"
2855712,25894552,2015-01-28,12494502,James,Jenny was great and I loved her spot. Will definitely come back. 
2855712,26144194,2015-02-04,26911204,Alexander,"Jenny's Austin Treehouse was perfect. She made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The apartment was clean, beautifully decorated and looked just like it did in the pictures from the listing. The space is warm and cozy, with beautiful new hardwood floors and custom modern lighting fixtures. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, yet surprisingly close to the 'action' downtown - totally walkable. Can't wait to come back!"
2855712,26427746,2015-02-12,5667456,Danielle,"We had a great time at the Austin Treehouse! This  was in the absolute perfect location in Austin. Jenny was a great host and provided us with some great recommendations on what to see in the city.

The apartment itself was clean, comfortable, and quiet. I would recommend this place as a perfect home base for exploring Austin, you can't go wrong!"
2855712,26525672,2015-02-15,16095084,Carina,"Jenny's apartment was incredible and she was such a warm and welcoming host. Check in was a breeze, and Jenny was available to meet me and walk me though the apartment. The apartment itself was spotless and just as described, the wifi super fast, and the bed extremely comfortable. The location of this space really can't be beat. It's an easy walk downtown, just a few blocks from the most amazing Whole Foods you will ever visit, and ubers were always quickly available for the longer adventures. I would definitely stay here again!"
2855712,26851298,2015-02-20,27888096,Savannah,"I loved staying at Austin Treehouse. I was exactly what I had hoped for and expected. The space was open, clean, and charming. The location is not far from many cool places, and just a short jaunt to downtown (very walkable, especially on a nice day). The neighborhood was friendly, quaint, and I felt safe walking to nearby hangouts. Jenny was friendly and very accommodating. She left very specific printed instructions about getting in and out, the wifi password, as well as recommendations of things to do. The back deck was a lovely place to hang outdoors with an Austin Beerworks beer or a morning cup of coffee. There was no TV, but I didn't mind because I didn't visit Austin to watch TV. There was wifi, and even speakers to plug in my phone and listen to music. I would definitely stay here again."
2855712,27072129,2015-02-24,5099296,Robert,"Jenny met us on our arrival to show us around the house, which was a perfect size and location for my wife and I to spend a few days experiencing Austin.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but only a 5-10 minute walk to downtown.  The best of both worlds.  Jenny made herself available throughout our stay to answer any questions we had, and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in and out of town.  The house was clean and spacious.  We hope to be back soon!"
2855712,27269418,2015-03-01,26815246,Max,"We had a great stay at Austin Treehouse. Everything was just as described. The space was tasteful, open, and CLEAN. The neighborhood was friendly and we felt safe walking to nearby hangouts. Jenny was great! She answered questions we had about exploring Austin and guided us to some great eats! We would definitely stay here again."
2855712,27597887,2015-03-08,1871331,Nathan,"We had a great time at Jenny's place.  It was centrally located, beautifully decorated, and amazingly peaceful and quiet.  Great natural light, a very comfortable mattress, outside deck--  I highly recommend it!"
2855712,28202327,2015-03-20,6975833,Vanessa,"Jenny was an extremely helpful and gracious host. Her appartment is in a beautiful and quiet West Austin neighbourhood whilst also being very close to great coffee shops, restaurants, wholefoods and the famous Waterloo records store. It was a welcome oasis of calm during SXSW. The appartment looks as it appears on the Air BnB listings - light, well furnished with retro decor and a great terrace which faces the sun. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

"
2855712,28868450,2015-03-31,14248224,Alison,"We loved this place! Makes for a great home base while exploring the city. The neighborhood is quiet, nice, safe. Easy parking and easy access to amenities. The Whole Foods (which is amazing) is a few blocks away. There are a couple of cute restaurants and shops in the area. The apartment itself was very comfortable. Great light, very airy. The back deck is wonderful for relaxing and taking in the view.  "
2855712,29550851,2015-04-09,27428722,Sara,We really enjoyed our stay. Jenny met us when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful with several good suggestions about places to go. The place was airy and comfortable and the bed was very comfortable. The location worked very nicely with easy walking to dining and some shopping.
2855712,29745451,2015-04-12,4262383,Nicole,"Jenny's apartment was great! She was very accomodating with check-in and check-out, and extremely easy to get in touch with via text. The apartment was exactly as pictured and the bed was comfortable. We also really enjoyed the location and we were able to walk all over the place. But it was also a very safe and quiet neighborhood, one afternoon we just sat out on the simple porch and enjoyed a few beers. Would definitely recommend!"
2855712,29958096,2015-04-14,4106293,Matthew,"The best! Cozy and quiet, clean and simple. Good vibes all around. Jenny is an excellent host and you should definitely stay here! "
2855712,30095513,2015-04-17,1933725,Adam,Jenny was great! I loved the apartment. 
2855712,30385355,2015-04-21,1032986,Catherine,"Jenny was a marvelous host. She went out of her way to help us out even before we arrived as we were on a long trip and needed something sent on to the apartment. When we arrived she gave us a warm welcome and lots of useful information on what to see and do in Austin. The apartment itself is spacious, light and very comfortable, with everything we needed. The large terrace was a great too. Located very centrally, within walking distance of cafes and restaurants. We would recommend to anyone visiting Austin."
2855712,30769427,2015-04-27,534476,Lisa,"Jenny's home is perfectly located in Austin, within walking distance to the main downtown strip of restaurants, coffee shops and stores. Whole Foods is just two blocks away. And there are bike rental spots very close by. The home was exactly as described. It was also very peaceful and quiet at night (except when the lightening storms came through!). The foam mattress bed is extra comfortable. 

Likely because of the storms, the Internet went out for almost the entire time we were staying. Jenny was super attentive in trying to fix it from her end. In fact, Jenny was super attentive and quick to respond leading up to and during our entire stay. We could count on her. I highly recommend this home and its location in Austin."
2855712,31210087,2015-05-03,30383187,Paige,"Jenny was so kind and easy to get a hold of. She was prompt and available and left us with everything we needed. The space is adorable, clean and has lots of personality. The location is probable the biggest upside, walking distance to anything but in a nice quiet neighborhood. "
2855712,31975844,2015-05-12,4066181,Ryan,"You will be glad you stayed here. The place is everything my girlfriend and I love; quiet, charming, minimal yet elegant and full of old charm. We used this as our home base while at Austin Psych Fest and it was amazing to have such a calm and quiet place to regroup in for another round of great music. Jenny is a great host and has amazing food recommendations. Somehow she always knew where we needed to go. I think for both of us reading on her day bed in the living room was the highlight of this place. Thanks so much for sharing your home Jenny."
2855712,32335536,2015-05-17,27859631,Lauren,"The apartment and location were perfect! The pictures accurately describe how great the place is! Jenny was very helpful and accommodating.

My only complaint is that the tenants below were upset with noise at 8pm and we were only 2 people making minimal noise.  Jenny texted us to let us know and we attempted to be quieter. Just frustrating because of how early we were expected to be quiet."
2855712,33245783,2015-05-26,8627601,Victoria,"Jenny was a great host, although we didn't meet in person she was always available whenever we needed her, responding to questions within a matter of minutes. The apartment is in a great location, we walked most everywhere. A few places you should not miss are Galaxy Cafe and the small bakery on 6th. Both within walking distance. The apartment is just how it looks, nice and bright with everything you'd need. The bed is super comfy. We never cooked, but you could easily, and with Whole Foods just down the street it'd be a breeze.  "
2855712,34663538,2015-06-10,10292686,Brian,"Jenny's place is exactly what Airbnb should be about.

It's a great space.  TONS of light from windows on all sides.  

Charming place in a top Austin neighborhood.

Nice high ceilings.  Beautiful just redone wood floors.

Don't let the photo online with the window air conditioner mislead you.   This place has a great central AC system.

Wifi was great.   

The deck is huge and overlooks a very nice undeveloped area.  

The neighborhood is top notch.

Walk a couple blocks to Counter Cafe.  Have Joe's special and biscuits."
2855712,44154902,2015-08-24,6644404,Paul,"The place was exactly as described and perfect for a nice weekend trip to Austin: Quiet, comfortable and close to everything we wanted to enjoy in the city! Jenny was extremely helpful and couldn't have made our stay any easier!"
2855712,45729058,2015-09-05,1695914,Kasey,"Jenny's Austin Treehouse was so conveniently located to shopping, restaurants, and local watering holes, you can't go wrong! It was just lovely and the decor in the living room and dining room is stunning. Jenny was very responsive and getting in and out of the apartment was very easy. The floor's are a bit sensitive which is a bit tricky but nothing too crazy. "
2855712,47695511,2015-09-21,24950370,Jeff,"Our stay at the Austin Treehouse was fantastic! The host made you feel welcome and the unit was clean and spacious for the two of us. It is walking distance to some great restaurants, bars and Whole Foods.  You can also Uber around very easily to all locations in the city."
2855712,49426135,2015-10-04,11851632,Alberto,Great location! Jenny was a great hostess. Her place was clean and comfortable. She provided a list of her favorite Restaurants in town and other useful info. And overall great experience. Highly recommended 
2855712,50429156,2015-10-12,10000794,Tim,"Jenny contacted me by phone a few days ahead of our trip.  She provided great directions to her place, and left a bottle of wine and a list of local tips.  The outside deck was a great place to start the day with a cup of coffee.  Overall, this was a great place to stay and provided a perfect location to enjoy ACL!"
2855712,51280595,2015-10-19,22237358,Frederic,"What a wonderful weekend in beautiful Austin. Jenny's treehouse was everything we could have wished for. A haven of peace and relaxation, with a nice character, near great shops, gym and yoga places, the amazing Trail around Lady Bird Lake for biking and running, not to mention the best bars and restaurants Austin has to offer a walk or Uber ride away. We had a blast. Jenny was full of attentions  and the house furnished with great style. We will come back!"
2855712,52754755,2015-11-01,46473969,Bret,Jenny was very nice and easy to get a hold of (if needed). She recommended some close by places to get coffee and eat along with making sure we were alright when the big storm hit with flooding. We had an amazing experience and the place matched what we were expecting from the listing. Its very fitting to the neighborhood and has some of the best character and charm on the inside that would be expected from an early 1900's home. Its really a nice little step back in time.
687675,3813429,2013-03-18,1472270,David,"I stayed at Meaghan's place with 4 friends during SXSW and had a great time. It was the perfect oasis outside the mayhem of central Austin. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was great, the back patio was nice for relaxing. Location also good, walking distance to a grocery store, post office, pharmacy and many other amenities. Very clean, highly recommended."
687675,4172897,2013-04-15,5653166,Anhel,"I had an excellent experience with Megan, she is very welcoming, and she explained me perfectly how to get to her house. She was very good about communication beforehand. She let me check in a few hours early, offered bagels and juice for breakfast, which is very nice of her. The entire home was pretty large, neat and comfortable, it’s just as described. It has everything I needed for my stay, great location, wifi, movies, music, towels, etc. I would stay again and I'd highly recommend this place to anyone!"
687675,4259907,2013-04-22,5927744,Lindsey,"Meaghan's place is lovely.  The pictures represent it well.  It's conveniently close to MoPac and a very nice grocery store.  The place was very comfortable for five people, but could easily have fit more.  I contacted her with a request to stay with short notice (I sent it late Sunday night hoping to stay the following Saturday), and she got back to me early the next day and had the place ready for me and my friends on Saturday."
687675,4351883,2013-04-29,188826,Ed,"Meaghan's house worked very well for our group of 5 who wanted to all stay together instead of in individual hotel rooms.  Loved the Starbucks a short 3-5 minute walk away.  Easy access to bike trails and highway.  Very comfortable house furnished with all you would need to eat in, relax, and enjoy your stay.
Meaghan was very accessible, and responded promptly.  "
687675,4677607,2013-05-20,5573568,Virginia,"We loved this house and the neighborhood. The place is cute and has a great living space where we hung out under the ceiling fans and read. We also enjoyed sitting out in the backyard in the mornings in the shade while our son ran around the backyard. We made many trips up the nearby track and playground.

Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable. There was room in the fridge for some food we bought. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in a beautiful and quiet part of Austin, that's still convenient to downtown and UT."
687675,5046532,2013-06-09,2946176,Lauren,"The house was spacious and in a lovely area.  One of the people in our group had a deer walk out of the woods not fifteen feet away from him!  Clean, comfy, and exactly what we needed.  Would definitely rent again."
687675,5169085,2013-06-16,3003747,Yasser,House is conveniently located and very cozy and well organized. Meaghan was very flexible and did everything exactly as agreed. Highly recommend this property.
687675,5698805,2013-07-12,7001915,Richard,"My family stayed at Meaghan's home for 8 days on our recent visit to Austin from South Africa.  Compared to camping out with friends/relatives or staying in a hotel, it was great to stay in a comfortable, clean home with all the necessary amenities.  We particularly enjoyed using Netflix for the first time.  Also the wifi worked well. Thanks for a great stay in Austin."

The location is quite close to Far West UT shuttle, which is about 10 min drive to downtown. We didn't meet the hosts as they were on vacation, but they are very patient when we chat online. Thank you for the accommodation!"
687675,8537291,2013-11-04,9442520,Brittany,"My friends and I went to Austin for Halloween weekend and stayed at Meaghans place. Her house is in an AMAZING and cute little area about 5-7 miles outside of downtown. Her house is PERFECT if you are looking to just get away and relax for a few days. She has an outside deck with a large wooden table, chairs, and greenery all around that truly makes you feel like you are in a private oasis. We spent a lot of time out there just talking and taking in the sun in the peace and quiet.

Meaghan could not have been more helpful. if we go back to Austin, we woldn't want to stay any place else!

Thanks Meaghan!"
687675,8811605,2013-11-19,6693214,Felipe,We were at Meaghan's place for the Formula 1 weekend. Her place is conveniently located (3 blocks away from grocery store and shopping areas. For runners it is a hilly area but you can go to the middle school and run flat on the track. The house was clean and everything was a Meaghan mentioned on emails. We had a good time and thank you so much Meaghan.
687675,9030668,2013-12-02,1329009,Elena,Meghan was so helpful and her home was exactly what we were hoping for. We were very comfortable and entertained with all the toys and games! Great home and great host

We all had room on a bed (1 queen, 1 full, 2 twins, 1 big futon).  Very nice home, very clean, and complete with linens and everything.  Super easy check out!  We had a great stay (and were so happy to be able to hang out together after the kids went to bed!).  Also, the game selection is really great!"

The house is situated in a very nice and green town area. A cosy place to stay for the weekend at an amazing city!"
687675,11725049,2014-04-13,11425991,Kara,"Excellent place to stay!!  Quick communication with Meaghan.  Close to downtown but sits in a very cozy, quiet and beautiful neighborhood.  It is clean with towels, soap, and coffee available!  I will definatley stay again if I go back to Austin!!

It is a great location!  Not far from downtown but so cozy and quiet.  It was also easy to get around to other places without getting stuck in traffic.  The little neighborhood was quiet and the backyard is beautiful with a nice deck and lots of green trees.   There is a grocery store, starbucks, and lots of other places that are easily accessible.

The house was nice and clean.  It is a great open space to hang out with everyone.  We had 9 people and everyone was comfortable in beds and I slept great on the couch.  Great water pressure in the downstairs bathroom that I used. Meaghan left tons of space in the fridge for us and she even had coffee and creamer available! She also had big soft towels for us.

Communication with Meaghan was great!  She left a key for us with clear directions for our stay and helpful info about Austin.

I highly recommend Meaghan's place!!"

687675,15333353,2014-07-07,1329009,Elena,This was our second time staying at this lovely home. The neighborhood is very pretty and you can run into deer and other wildlife. Thank you Meaghan for opening your home to us. Would like to stay here again in the future.

Thank you Meaghan.  "
687675,18858989,2014-09-01,20540969,Falon,"Meaghan was very easy to work with and I appreciated her prompt communication with me throughout the entire process of securing the home for my stay. Her directions were clear and everything went very smoothly. The neighborhood was pretty quiet  and the location had easy access to the major freeway. The home is lived in by the family (they vacate during your stay) but overall it is clean and was spacious enough for my party, which included 8 people. I would definitely recommend this home for large groups."

687675,22262535,2014-11-02,11944136,Ahad,"Meaghan did an excellent job communicating with us! The place was easy to get to, and extremely comfortable. 

Pros: Privacy, Beautiful Backyard, Comfortable Master Bedroom, Excellent Bose Sound System

Cons: I would consider the place to sleep 7 comfortably, instead of 8. The TV is relatively small, and cellular reception is terrible (For Sprint and T-Mobile)

Overall:
We would definitely stay here again! Loved the place, the location was a little further than 5 minutes from downtown but that wasn't too big of a deal! 

9/10 Stars I WOULD DEFINITELY recommend this place, especially for the cost! 

Best Bang For Your Buck! "

We had 4 generations coming from 3 different states for a wedding and this was the easiest part of the whole trip even with SXSW in town at the same time (OMG.)!  Love that we could text & email back & forth. The house is great, loved the outdoor patio. It was a perfect location for us and close to grocery & restaurants. "

Pros: The description of the house matches exactly what we got! Close to grocery, gas and highway access. Neighborhood was quiet, deck was private and great for morning coffee and evening wine. House was clean, plenty of towels and beds were comfortable. Nice open layout so we could all visit easily.  Easy to communicate with Meaghan as others mention.
Cons: No cable TV for local news (but she does have that in her description)
Note: I've rented many times on VRBO and Airbnb, but this was the first time I've rented someone's home! (Which Meaghan does mention) It was a different experience than a rental only unit, almost like staying with family without the family!  It was nice..."
687675,45852475,2015-09-06,42113958,Lachelle,The host had accurate description of the house. The house was clean and up to par according to the description.

Impressed with the cleanliness of the house and the well stocked supplies.  House is a 15 minute drive from everywhere we wanted to go in Austin in all directions.  Safe neighborhood.  Good walk to the best of South Congress.  Grocery store just a few blocks away.  Checking in and leaving was an easy task.  Enjoyed meeting with young couple staying in the studio in the back of the property.  Price was a bargain.  Thanks of all Anthony.

4174499,29917131,2015-04-14,28018522,Genevieve,We stayed at Anthony's house for a short weekend in Austin. It was close to both South Congress and S. 1st street (a nice walk or short 4 dollar Uber ride!). It was a great amount of space for the 3 of us; we loved each having a bedroom and the convenience of a washer/dryer. The house was a welcoming respite and we enjoyed our time!
4174499,30666029,2015-04-26,26557141,Danielle,"The house is in a great location in south Austin! But I recommend a car to get downtown. The house was quaint and clean. Nice quite neighborhood and supplied all the necessities. The only complaints would be the hard beds, I slept on the couch, and the wifi would drop. Otherwise great place to stay for a weekend escape with friends.  "

4174499,35096567,2015-06-15,11018826,Janice,"     This was my very first time visiting Austin, TX as well as using AirBnB...and everything about this trip was perfect, beginning with my booking this home away from home. 
     Before my trip, our host Anthony was helpful with advice for us first-timers and was always quick to respond anytime I had questions about the rental itself or about the city.
     This was a birthday weekend celebration/girl getaway with 3 ladies total (a perfect fit in this 3-bedroom home). Seeing as all us ladies came together here from different states, it was great for us to each have our own bedroom, as well as the rest of this spacious home, with a living room and dining area, for us to reconnect and catch up late nights and in between our city adventures. 
     The grocery store was right around the corner (to stock up on necessities like coconut water and little snacks) and all the good eats, bars, and shops on South Congress and South 1st were an easy walk from this home (though our walking was limited during the daytime hours due to the intense humidity and heat).  
     All the Austinites we have met, including our host have been nothing short of welcoming and friendly.  Their pride for their city was evident in their eagerness to share their favorite experiences in all areas of this town. It made me fall in love with Austin quite easily and quickly.
     I did have a rental car for a day and was able to park right in front of the home - never had an issue with parking in the neighborhood. We also met some friendly ladies staying in the AirBnB rental out back and it seemed like they were enjoying their stay as well. There was one small issue when no towels were provided upon arrival, but within 1.5 hours of texting our gracious host, they were immediately delivered with his sincerest apologies. Such amazing customer service and prompt response time and resolution.
     I will definitely be coming back to Austin and am eager to book my next AirBnB rental based on this wonderful experience!

83770,3745736,2013-03-11,3529464,Nathalie,Our company booked this location during SXSW 2013.  The host was timely in responding to questions & very helpful.  The SXSW events inflated the cost of lodging throughout the entire Austin area but the house itself provided adequate comfort and convenience.
83770,4354196,2013-04-29,1351348,Stephen,Fantastic house in a convenient location. 
83770,5336384,2013-06-24,7024741,Jeff,"Lovely place. Our hosts made the transaction simple and easy and the house itself was lovely and in perfect order. Everything I could've hoped for and more. 10 out of 5 stars.

"
83770,8812881,2013-11-19,8455543,Jason,"BJ is the consummate host!  Verde Camp couldn't be better located.  The house was perfect for our group over Grand Prix weekend - and BJ went above and beyond to make us feel welcome (stocking the kitchen with bottled water, Kind Bars, chips and salsa, etc.).

Awesome.  We'll be back."
83770,11914911,2014-04-19,514628,Morgan,We had an amazing stay at this stunning house. It was super cute and everything we needed and communicating with the hosts was super easy. We accidentally left something there and managed to get it back without an issue too! Would definitely stay again and highly recommend for anyone looking for an awesome house in Austin.
83770,19154523,2014-09-07,19314951,Andrew,"Had a great trip to Austin and very much enjoyed the ""Clarksville"" area. The house was clean upon arrival and Leslie was a very friendly hostess. As an added bonus there are plenty of great restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops within walking distance. I would recommend this home to anybody looking to comfortably fit 4 adults."
83770,19531630,2014-09-14,19562648,Harry,Great Little Place to stay in lovely area of Austin. Close enough to walk downtown but relaxing area at same time. Perfect
83770,20470294,2014-09-29,21558298,John,"BJ,

The house was great and we had a great time in Austin.  Location is excellent.  Quiet neighborhood and close to restaurants, etc.  Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home."
83770,21280812,2014-10-14,16652394,Laura,"BJ and the Verde Camp crew were perfect hosts! From setting up the easiest key combo, check in/check out process, to dropping off awesome local snacks and beverages, along with rain ponchos in case we got caught in a downpour at ACL, to mailing the earrings I left there back home to me, they demonstrated the best Texas hospitality imaginable. We will be back!"
83770,24649840,2015-01-01,10994934,Teresa,"The Rana House was perfect for our group, from the convenient location, super easy parking, and the fact that you didn't have to worry about a key for entry! The house was adorable and surprisingly spacious with large bedrooms, comfy king beds (we all slept great) and tons of closet space. The kitchen, although we didn't utilize it, was fully stocked with anything and everything you would need! I would definitely recommend staying here!"
83770,25981699,2015-01-31,26741363,Justin,"Great house. Clean and as pictured. Great neighborhood close to restaurants, bars and even a grocery store. Would be a great place to stay for a group of 3 or more."

83770,47687606,2015-09-21,8979388,Laura,Great stay in Austin. Great neighborhood.  House was exactly as pictured. All went very smoothly. Thanks for the visit. 
83770,49441251,2015-10-04,39745578,Daniel,Great stay! Awesome location and house was very clean : )
79335,202477,2011-03-18,419160,Marc,The house is clean and beautiful.  Renee made accommodations for 2 extra mattresses for us.  We had a great experience!
79335,549349,2011-09-20,617127,Amy,We loved Renee's house and had a great stay.  It was in perfect condition when we arrived.  The property was better than described and the neighborhood was great.  
79335,1001550,2012-03-15,1488671,Joy,The pictures don't do this house justice!  Great stay and a great hostess to boot!  
79335,3809193,2013-03-17,5255917,Neil,"Renee's space is well kept and the furnishings are modern enough to be on par or superior to most hotel rooms. Although it isn't mentioned in the writeup, the backyard is spacious and even has a skateboard ramp. One small challenge (which has to do more with the location than the house) is that many taxi drivers have a tough time finding it. I wound up renting a bike to get downtown, which was a fairly simple solution."
79335,7912473,2013-10-08,6279101,Melissa,"The house is gorgeous, spacious, and comfortable. Renee was very helpful and accommodating."
79335,8077180,2013-10-15,5850083,Tom,"Renee's house is modern, clean, quiet and comfortable.  It is in walking distance from Zilker Park, and plenty close to downtown.  Renee was very kind and welcoming, which made preparations a breeze.  The back patio with jacuzzi was heaven.  Thanks so much Renee."
79335,8811393,2013-11-19,3528388,Robert,"My friend and I stayed at Renee's place for the Austin F1 GP, she was the perfect hostess and made us feel welcome from the start.  Renee's a very relaxed, friendly host who went out of her way to make us welcome, she could not have doen more.  The house itself is lovely and met all our needs, it's in a really pleasant area of town too. I would highly recommend spending some time here. "
79335,10886316,2014-03-11,1728048,George,"Renee is the best host ever.
The place is really nice (much better than shown on the photos), super clean and in a good area. 

Communication with Renee was perfect not only before my arrival, but also during my stay. She helped me a lot with information about the area and some very useful tips. 
Renee was so kind that she even game me a ride a couple of times and offered me home made cookies!

I will definitely stay at her place next time I'll be back in Austin and I would highly recommend her. "
79335,19955868,2014-09-21,20533672,Melissa,"Everything was fantastic. This house was clean, and beautiful. Communication was superb and directions were all laid out on the table when we arrived. We travel to Austin a few times a year, and would love to stay here again. Highly recommended hostess! "
79335,20810705,2014-10-06,14736955,Micah,"Visited Ms. Renee for ACL and had a great time!  She was welcoming and easy to reach for any questions.  The house was very nice and a comfortable and relaxing place to return to after a hard day of Rockin'.  The neighborhood was great, with lots to do, along with being close to the park.  Great experience and would love to do it again!!"
79335,21178105,2014-10-12,22175437,Carissa,"Renee was incredibly kind and accommodating, and was very easy to work with. Her home was fun and modern, very clean, and in a great location. We had a great experience. Thanks, Renee!"
79335,22354667,2014-11-04,18064495,Leslie,"We had a great experience with Renee. She was friendly, met us when we arrived and was able to give us some pointers about Austin. 
The location was perfect just a short drive downtown and in a cute neighborhood. It looked as though it had been recently updated , was clean and we'll taken care of."
79335,22546636,2014-11-09,22842902,Justin,"This is an excellent house with a great location.  We walked to Auditorium Shores several times with no issue and could have easily extended the walk to downtown if we wanted.  Renee was a great host and was always extremely kind and welcoming.  The house itself is very modern and nice.   The backyard is absolutely amazing with tons of comfortable outdoor furniture, a fire pit, hot tub and even an outdoor theater.  

The only thing that was slightly misleading about the house was it being listed as ""entire home/apt"".  This is a duplex with Renee living in one half of the house.  The dividing ""walls"" between the two sides were thin plywood that you can easily hear through.  Renee was using the outdoor theater and fire pit both nights when we returned to the house, so we weren't able to use them without feeling as if we were intruding.  One reason I booked this place was for the ability to use the back yard for late night relaxing uninhibited, but we weren't really able to do so.  However, overall it was a great experience."
79335,27306473,2015-03-01,27050257,Doyle,"This was perfect for our weekend in Austin! The space was clean, modern, and as pictured. renee was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. "
79335,28200497,2015-03-20,5944909,Mark,"The house was perfect, well stocked with everything you could imagine and a great oasis from the crazy of SXSW.
Renee was there to answer any and all questions and gave numerous tips to some great places in Austin.
It's a quick trip downtown and the house is surrounded by some absolutely delicious restaurants and bars.
I couldn't give any higher a rating for the house or Renee! :)"
79335,29245823,2015-04-05,30444741,Jeff,Renee let me and my 3 friends stay at her place for Easter weekend.  The residence was as nice as advertised and she was very helpful  with all things Austin.  Also an avid mountain biker she rode with me to the trail head and advised me on the best trails to ride.  Overall great experience and I recommend her place to anyone trying to enjoy Austin the right way.
79335,29774399,2015-04-12,30018420,Pamela,"Rene's place was perfect for our weekend in Austin.  Awesome location and nice safe neighborhood. Rene was there to welcome us and show us around. Made us feel right at home. Nice comfortable place, beds were comfy and cozy.  Will definitely come back. "
79335,30251083,2015-04-19,18944474,Joshua,Renee's place was perfect for our stay in Austin. It very clean and modern; as pictured. Renee was very helpful with recommendations and made us feel at home. Would def recommend!
79335,30713835,2015-04-26,14009134,Benjamin,"Renee's home was perfect for our stay in Austin in an ideal neighborhood. I don't think the pictures did the place justice of just how comfortable, functional and aesthetically pleasing her place was. We sat in the covered backyard and read, walked to Zilker and Barton Springs, and were able to get to downtown or South Lamar in minutes. Renee made coordinating our trip seamless and had phenomenal advice, and I hope she has availability next time we're in town!"
79335,31069740,2015-05-01,31478386,Lori,"All of the positive comments about Renee are 100% accurate. In addition, the location is absolutely perfect for active travelers. The house is located in between the beautiful Zilker Park and Lamar Boulevard.  Zilker Park with Barton Springs Pool is perfect for running, biking and swimming.  Lamar Blvd is lined with various restaurants and takes you right to the Whole Foods to buy healthy food to fix in the kitchen at Renee's place.  We recommend Renee's place 100% and would stay there again if in Austin. "
79335,31279711,2015-05-03,2233806,Darren,"Renee was very friendly and accommodating. The apartment is immaculate and everything worked perfectly. Two rooms with comfortable beds nice sized kitchen well appointed. Better in person then in the pictures. Great location minutes from Zilker, Lady bird, Soco and downtown. Would definitely recommend!"
79335,31727533,2015-05-09,31313699,Pierre,"Renee made us feel most welcome. The place is charming. The neighborhood is really nice and quiet, and only few minutes from downtown. We really enjoyed our stay and wish it was much longer:) Thank you Renee."
79335,32035874,2015-05-12,9106741,Ishan,Renee was very welcoming and friendly. The listing was as described. The backyard is beautiful and really nice for sitting out. Would recommend.
79335,32988815,2015-05-24,31042597,Teresa,"The place was exactly as Renee had described it.  We had a wonderful stay and it was perfect.  Clean, comfortable bed, great kitchen, wonderful location.  I can't say enough good things about it.  And, Renee was the perfect hostess.  She was very pleasant and genuinely cared that we had a great stay.  Thank you, Renee for a wonderful weekend while we attended our daughter's graduation."
79335,33926888,2015-06-02,31545373,Victoria,"Renee is the absolute best host anyone could ask for. This was my first AirBNB experience and I loved it! When I decided to visit Austin, I did a ton of research on airbnb and the neighborhoods in Austin, and Renee's house proved to be the best choice for location and price.  Check in and out was super easy (she even let us check in early). I met Renee when we checked in and I am so glad I did, she is awesome! She showed us around the house, which is stocked with anything you might need (silverware, spices, soap, iron, water bottles, paper towels, cook ware). Me and my friends are adventurers, but one of us forgot our Eno straps, and Renee let us borrow hers for our stay, such a kind heart! My favorite part of the house is the back porch. Her hammock was hung there and it is so peaceful with the birds chirping, sun shining and cool breeze. Everything was very clean, water pressure was great and beds were comfortable, better sleep than my own bed! The neighborhood is extremely safe, hip, active and friendly. I was in awe of all the houses in the area, everyone had a garden (I loved growing my own food, so it felt like home). Uber rides were only $6 to basically anywhere we wanted to go. We will go back to Renee!
(Yes, it is a duplex (Renee lives next door), but everything is completely separate, private, and no noise carries from either side). If you are going to Austin, stay with Renee!"
79335,34837448,2015-06-12,28724337,Jim,Renee was so great. She reached out to me right away as soon as I booked her place. She wanted to confirm our arrival time and assured us the place would be ready right when we arrived. When we pulled up she happened to be there. She made us feel welcome right from the start. Couldn't of asked for a better welcome. Her place was spotless. Loved how she has decorated the place. The beds where amazing. I didn't want to get up in the morning. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood only a short drive from downtown Austin. I would never stay in a hotel again in Nashville after staying at Renee's place. I will for sure be checking in to her place again. 
79335,35024325,2015-06-14,35069412,Vance,"Staying with Renee was terrific. She made us feel very welcomed. Accommodations were as advertised and backyard was a terrific place to hang out and have a drink on a nice Austin summer evening. Great area of town, and quiet neighbourhood, but not too far from good hangouts. "
79335,51882167,2015-10-25,33282441,Angela,"Absolutely wonderful and perfect place to stay! My family and I stayed the weekend for a wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect.  Love the Zilker neighborhood,  very quiet and peaceful.  The decor of the home and all the special touches make it extremely cozy. Will definitely come back and stay again. Thanks Renee!"
5512398,28271607,2015-03-21,15619238,Stephen,"Very solid experience staying in the co-op! The people were very nice,  the neighborhood was quiet and in a convenient location, and I had no problems with the room. It was perfect accommodations for SXSW, or anything else you want to do in Austin."
5512398,28433131,2015-03-23,28836076,Sadie,Everyone was so friendly! The place was really conveniently located so it was easy to get around. 
5602887,47822554,2015-09-21,28377557,Brennen,"Pretty much exactly what I was looking for... a nice place to crash while I explore Austin.  Three queen-size beds were plenty of space for me and my friends, and the price was great.  We had 6 people, and it didn't feel crowded at all.  As for location, you can easily get downtown or to east 6th for a minimum-fare Uber.  Perfect on all accounts."
5602887,48598513,2015-09-27,31230504,Casey,"Great communication with Ian from start to finish. His home is spacious and comfortable. Perfect for a group of 4-6. You can't beat the location -- it's minutes from downtown and UT, and there is plenty to see and do in East Austin itself (don't miss Micklethwait for some of the best barbecue you've ever had). No complaints here, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future."
5602887,49495795,2015-10-04,36999291,Jeanett,"Great house and great location too! It is as advertised and Ian was super flexible with check in and check out times! Cool neighborhood, with a lot of remodeled houses. 
Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!"
5602887,51175212,2015-10-18,22544993,Michael,Description of the house was very accurate. Neighborhood was quiet and indeed a quick ride to prime downtown locations. Ian was always available when we had questions. I would highly recommend and would stay here again!
5602887,52749102,2015-11-01,16542171,Andrew,Very clean house and easy to find. Plenty of space and comfortable beds. Quick/easy Uber to downtown.

Thanks Kat!"

Thanks Kat!"

6181164,36796169,2015-07-01,23078473,Alaina,Great location! Kat was very accommodating and responsive before and during our visit. Thank you for the warm Texas welcome!  
6181164,39114235,2015-07-20,38443941,Tami,The house was in a great location close to downtown & UT. It was really nice having three bedrooms so the kids didn't have to share. The house was cute & clean and we will definitely rent again in the future. Thanks Kat for accommodating us at the last minute and for a great first time experience!
6181164,43185621,2015-08-17,13367350,Nathalie,"La maison était exactement comme décrite : blanche, charmante, propre, accueillante et bien située.  Séjour super que nous comptons renouveler! Merci encore."
6181164,45156950,2015-08-31,13535816,William,Great place! Will stay here again.
6181164,46146559,2015-09-08,38075371,Mark,"Kat's place was in a great location in Austin.  We had a blast!  Quick Uber to anything we needed.  We ended up spending most of our time out and about anywhere from in her neighborhood to all the way to Barton Springs.  The cold springs and quickie pickie are an absolute must!

Thanks again Kat for allowing us to use your house and make the most of our time in Austin. "
6181164,47523138,2015-09-20,32519349,David,The host canceled this reservation 175 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6181164,47661996,2015-09-21,19663803,David,Nice place to stay. Very easy access to downtown and UTexas. Great communication with the host. 
6181164,48870321,2015-09-29,591745,Isaac,"This was the perfect house and location for a long weekend in Austin! The house comfortably fits seven people - three beds and one couch and is closely located to downtown Austin, 6th Street (east and west) and Rainey Street.

The host was very responsive and helpful throughout the weekend and even let us check in early and leave a bit later.

The host also left us some beers, topo Chico, and some tea and coffee.

I would definitely recommend this house!"
6181164,49593427,2015-10-05,14851698,Anjelica,"My girlfriends and I had a great time in Austin & Kat's place was great for us. We were greeted w/ a bottle of wine & some chips and salsa :) It was clean, cozy, & as pictured. We were a little apprehensive about the neighborhood beforehand but once we arrived it was fine. A few minute cab right to the 6th street area. We were in town for the ACL festival so didn't get to explore too much of Austin so we'd love to come back & would be happy to stay at Kat's place again. "
6181164,50743190,2015-10-14,34295175,Joanna,"Kat and Besty were fabulous. We were able to check-in early and they left us a note and some tortilla chips to welcome us to Austin! The location was great - the house is located just about a 10 minute walk from downtown, so we were close to everything without having to deal with the hustle and bustle of downtown. Also, Betsy was always happy to answer any of my texts - we weren't sure how to work the Roku and then we accidentally tripped a circuit breaker and Betsy quickly responded to my texts! We highly recommend staying here!"
6181164,51775678,2015-10-24,45527175,Bart,Thanks for our first AirBNB experience.  I'm completely sold on it.  My wife is checking out places for our next vacation.  Your place was perfect for us (3 techs - DellWorld - wifi - so many batteries to charge).  We were able to walk to Franklin's (give up) and (shoutout to) Micklethwait's for great BBQ.
710276,15376773,2014-07-07,17522076,Mike,"Nadia was an excellent host, communicated very well, and the place was exactly as advertised and just what I was looking for. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to visit ATX."
710276,49767305,2015-10-06,20070883,Chrissy,Nadia was great! She made sure we had everything we needed before we arrived and was very accommodating of our late arrival. The house was great too - it was exactly what we were expecting from the description. Very cozy and the backyard is awesome. Would definitely recommend staying here  - we were in town for ACL and this location worked out well.
710276,50744093,2015-10-14,36582609,Jason,"My friends and I stayed at Nadia's place for a week, and everything was amazing! Nadia was super attentive, and really made us feel welcome in her home. Austin is a beautiful town, and we did quite a bit of exploring from our ""home away from home"" for the week. Her house is very clean and well maintained, and I can't imagine having a nicer time."
710276,51818905,2015-10-24,298268,Kirk,Nadia is a terrific host: great communicator and apparently a great cook- the spice selection was extensive. House was super clean. Great stay in a house that felt like home. 
5613534,33203873,2015-05-25,33904856,Brian,"Dan & Rena made this the best 1st experience that we could have ever imagined. Very nice place, just like the pictures. They were able to accommodated all our needs and more. Fuzzys Tacos with in walking distance train pick up/drop off and Car ToGo all right there as well. Safe neighborhood located in a clean environment. Exactly halfway between both Austin airports. We highly recommend to anyone and we will be back for sure. "
5613534,41712769,2015-08-08,34523932,Lauren,"My friend and I threw together a last minute trip to Austin, and we were concerned that finding a place to stay for the weekend might pose a problem. Luckily for us, Dan came to the rescue! Despite he and his wife being out of town on their own excursion, he arranged for a friend of his to let us in to the condo. The only downside to the setup was not having the opportunity to meet him or his wife! Dan was incredibly hospitable, setting up the coffeemaker for us and informing us we were welcome to the beer and OJ in his fridge. Great host, great place, and exactly as described! "
5613534,50607052,2015-10-12,3766515,Katherine,"We can't say enough about it. This condo was wonderful! We were in town for business, and the location was perfect. The train, stores and food were all accessible just a couple blocks away.
Dan and his wife were right there to greet us and show us around. 
The condo was immaculate and the bed very comfortable! (#1 on my list!). They have a great balcony to relax outside that is very private. The shower was super nice and the kitchen area was very roomy and accommodating. Everything was updated and the decor very tasteful. I could have stayed forever!
We will surely stay there again on our next visit to Austin, I highly recommend this wonderful spot to anyone!"
5613534,52552101,2015-10-30,360392,David,"Got stuck in Austin after the great flood of 2015 (16"" of rain), and the airport shutdown. Dan was nice enough to let me stay with them again, as I got stranded in Austin."
5613534,52668359,2015-10-31,360392,David,"The condo was great, loved having a place to myself, and being able to feel like I was in a home, rather then another hotel. Close walk to a great brewery, and a few local stores. Was able to run on the path next to the light rail line, and found that space to be great."
5613534,53224235,2015-11-06,17681735,Hush,We had a great stay. The place is comfortable and private. We immediately felt at home. Host is very nice and made sure we had everything we needed.
5315903,28135539,2015-03-18,17010770,Dylan,"This is a great spot - only 10 mins drive from downtown and on a nice, quiet road. Spacious house with everything as was promised on the listing. Ashley was very communicative, friendly and useful - and Billy (the next door neighbor) adds a lovely local touch! A great place to stay if you want to be away from downtown, but a very quick Uber away"
5315903,28328091,2015-03-22,9451661,Grant,Ashley was an amazing host and was very pleasant to work with. She was very accommodating and it couldn't have been a better experience! 
5315903,29782068,2015-04-12,30370569,Ben,Ashley's home is a wonderful place that easily hosts 6-9 guests. Conveniently located in the middle of Austin and very Uber friendly. She even left candy and snacks for us! How thoughtful!
5315903,30795617,2015-04-27,29166439,Ryan,Very happy with our stay. Location was great and our host provided us with instructions for everything we would need.  House was nice and private and felt like our own piece of Texas.

1267100,11533197,2014-04-07,8678377,Natalie,We had a wonderful stay at the Zilker compound -- it's the perfect place for a large group of friends.

1267100,21868098,2014-10-26,15171032,Erica,The Zilker barn and house was perfect for me and 9 other friends. It was very clean and there was plenty of space. The house was walking distance from several restaurants and convenience stores. The neighborhood was safe and was a cheap cab ride to South Congress.  Mary was easy to get a hold of and answered all questions in a timely fashion prior to arrival. We did have a light issue which Mary quickly addressed.  It was a great house that I recommend it for a large group. 
1267100,23318180,2014-11-29,17733559,Catlin,"Excellent and comfortable property.  Nice amenities.  Bikes, games and other entertainment for the kiddos and a great spot for large / extended family to gather.  Comfortable beds and two kitchens make for a great experience.  Excellent location with lots or nearby amenities, restaurants, shopping and easy access to Zilker Park and other area landmarks.  "
1267100,33894872,2015-06-02,26581043,Rachel,"My family and I stayed at Mary's home during the weekend of our daughter's wedding. The houses were clean, comfortable and convenient to everything! The pictures give a very good representation of the space available. We found Mary to be responsive to our emails, and just a pleasure to work with!! If you are looking for a place to gather with family or friends in Austin, you should consider this location. We loved it!"
1267100,47615072,2015-09-21,6719554,Whitney,Mary made me feel very welcomed! The house is in excellent condition! Plenty of space and gorgeous upgrades. Perfect location! I honestly can't say one bad thing about working with Mary or the house. We had the best trip and plan to contact Mary again for our next trip! Thank you Mary for being so awesome to work with and making our trip so special! 
195674,3682503,2013-03-04,4009188,Justin,Lori was great and extremely helpful getting settled into the place. We had guest join us from out of town and this was just the place for them to stay!
195674,7912763,2013-10-08,331155,Carly,Lori was a gracious host with a beautiful home within easy walking distance to Zilker Park- a huge convenience for the ACL Festival. She gave us great recommendations around her neighborhood and encouraged us to make ourselves at home and contact her for anything. We fit a group of people very comfortably and enjoyed both her front and back patios all weekend. Looking forward to coming back again!
195674,8784250,2013-11-18,8994581,Patrick,"Lori's house was fantastic, with a great location.  My friends and I had a great time and felt that her house served us perfectly. In addition, Lori was extremely helpful and there to answer any questions that we had about the house and/or area. I would definitely stay there again, if the opportunity presents itself.  "

I didn't get to meet Lori in person but she was very accommodating for one of my friends do the check in and check out process. Both mentioned that she was very nice and helpful. Thank you Lori! "
195674,21194701,2014-10-13,16438193,Matthew,Lori was an awesome host with a great home. The place was very close to the ACL music festival we attended. I would definitely stay there again if the opportunity presents itself. Overall great experience.

It was Halloween and we ended up buying candy. There were lots of little trick or treaters. I wouldn't mind living here. "
195674,28716787,2015-03-29,11627985,Brandon,"Lori was great, excellent host. Showed us around the place and perfect location. Very close to some fun restaurants and Barton Springs. Only about a $5-$7 uber ride to downtown or Rainey St.

I would definitely recommend staying here...enjoy!

195674,49585309,2015-10-05,23537228,Joe,"What a great Austin experience! Lori was a gracious host all the way - we felt welcomed and comfortable in her home. Whether you are coming for ACL or just a weekend in Austin, this is a great place to stay!"
8084383,51545269,2015-10-21,10910954,Jenny,"Lin was a wonderful host! From the moment I arrived, she made me feel welcome in her home. She is very knowledgable about the city of Austin and about things to do and places to see. She gave me my space but was also always willing to have a conversation or give advice when I sought it. Her house is decorated with so many cool things to look at. I am looking forward to staying in touch with Lin!
The room was great, plenty of storage space if you are traveling with a lot of things, plus it has its own bathroom. The bed was comfortable, (website hidden)/fan worked perfectly too.
The ranch was amazing. If you are an animal lover/outdoors person, this is a great experience. While downtown Austin is easily accessible from the ranch, the property has a real country-side feel, providing peace and quiet. Lin has 6 horses on her property (3 miniatures), 3 dogs, 1 cat and 1 rooster. They were all adorable with their own personalities...very fun to have so many loving creatures around.
I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay for anyone looking for a relaxing, comfortable, unique and enjoyable stay in Austin, Texas! :)"
8084383,51933908,2015-10-25,2737236,Chris,"Lin was a great host...although our trip didn't go an expected, and we left Austin early...it was nice to have a comfy bed to rest up!  The room has it's own entrance and bathroom, so although you are in her home, you have complete privacy.  "
942357,3822226,2013-03-18,1651649,Daniel,"I stayed with a friend in the RV for a couple days and it has everything you need, hot water, a comfortable bed to sleep, wifi and a place to cook. Is not far from downtown, so I walked everyday."
942357,28394668,2015-03-23,5608337,Stefanie,"It was great! fun place to stay while attending SXSW. very close, a good walk away from downtown. an experience i enjoyed very much!"
942357,29807750,2015-04-12,1644968,Sean,"Elizabeth was extremely accommodating on very short notice after I had a last minute flight cancellation and need a place to stay for the night.  She was really responsive and helped me solve what could have been a challenging situation in short order.  The accommodations were perfect what I needed and the proximity to the airport was very helpful for when I needed to leave for the airport first thing in the morning.  Thanks for all of your help and for being such an accommodating host, Elizabeth.."
942357,32596074,2015-05-19,1272313,John,"Elizabeth was a great host.  She checked in with me every day to make sure I had everything I needed, and quickly provided solutions for anything that wasn't working, especially after a severe thunderstorm.  In addition, she offered numerous suggestions for favorite restaurants, theaters, and live music, which enabled me to have a 'Hip East Austin' experience.  

The RV is just the best way to experience a local East Austin visit, and I felt a part of the neighborhood rather than a tourist.  Elizabeth gave me the use of a bicycle, and I spent hours exploring East Austin and the Colorado Riverside.

If you're coming in the heat of summer, the RV has great air conditioning.  If you want to experience a severe thunderstorm, flash flood, or near tornado, the RV is the place you want to be.  If you want to experience Austin as a local, the RV is the place to be.  If you want a host that really cares about your comfort and experience, then Elizabeth is the host you want."
8170048,45896733,2015-09-06,34581270,Paige,It was exactly as expected!! It was such a cute bungalow and perfect for what we needed! Made out first Airbnb experience perfect!
8170048,46234042,2015-09-08,24987097,Cameron,"This place is great! It has everything you need and is very quiet and comfortable. Awesome location, within minutes of all of the action and best restaurants/ food trucks. We had a great weekend here. We'll definitely look for this place every time we go to Austin. "
8170048,47108653,2015-09-15,43445545,Stacy,"We really enjoyed our stay at Michele and Alex’s bungalow. Although we were gone much of the time, we felt perfectly comfortable hanging out in the space. Everything was as expected, (or better!), and Michele was quick to respond to my text messages and emails. The bungalow is in a quiet area, but very close to many interesting things. We slept very well as there was very little noise or light in the area at night. Would definitely stay in this spot again!"
8170048,47796910,2015-09-21,17946072,Bonnie,We loved this little bungalow and would love to stay here again. I was a little nervous about privacy from being in someone's back yard but it was totally private we never saw the owners but they helped and were very responsive with anything we needed. The location was great and parking was super easy. 
8170048,48757765,2015-09-28,2409099,Cori,"Our stay at the bungalow was amazing! Michele and Alex were super easy to communicate with and gave us helpful directions to the bungalow (we took an uber from the airport for less than $20). The place was the perfect size for the two of us, and I wish were were staying longer to take advantage of the kitchen. 

Location was great - it was a short walk down 1st to lots of delicious places (7th Flag Coffee, Polvos, Gordoughs) and to South Congress (Allen's boots for a nice pair of souvenirs, lots of shops and restaurants). We also walked downtown a couple of times and it took about an hour.

Additional bonuses: good wifi, excellent water pressure in the shower, and it stayed pretty cool with the shades down."
8170048,49802417,2015-10-06,4422225,Jana,Michele & Alex are great hosts! Had a great stay in their bungalow during ACL. The perfect little spot with an awesome backyard! 
8170048,50654994,2015-10-13,21189223,Jen,Enjoyed our stay. Great location. Walking distance from SoCo. Cheap uber ride to downtown and ACL. Alex was a great host. It was nice to relax out by the hammock and fire pit. Overall it was a great experience. Definitely would stay there again. 
8170048,51449604,2015-10-20,7550082,Erin,"Michele and Alex were great hosts. Their bungalow was very private and super cute. It has everything you need to cook meals, including a fridge, freezer, and all of the pots, pans and dishes you'll ever need. It was nice to be able to walk in the neighborhood to food trucks, bars and restaurants without worrying about parking. It's easy to learn and navigate Austin from their home.  Michele was helpful and very responsive. Thanks for a great visit to Austin :)."
8170048,52075469,2015-10-26,42504747,Christine,"Bungalow was very cozy and cute. Clean, spacious, and close to where we wanted to go. Would definitely return."
8170048,52421363,2015-10-29,35035370,Linda,"The bungalow was as pictures and very clean.  It was quiet and peaceful.  Nice walk to South Congress shopping area, and a bit longer walk to the city, but doable!"
8170048,52851011,2015-11-02,25150878,Courtney,"We weren't able to make our trip due to a storm in Austin and numerous flight cancellations.  Michele kindly offered to try to let the bungalow for the second night in case there was any chance of recouping costs.  While that didn't working given the timing, we were extremely appreciative of that offer, as it suggests these are two kind and wonderful people!"
6116865,30850712,2015-04-27,18392078,Larry,"Ryan was a gracious and informative host. His place was very clean, in a quiet neighborhood, with tons of things within walking distance. Ryan and his apartment exceeded all my expectations. I will definitely stay there again."

6116865,33813847,2015-06-01,14789966,Daniel,"Great apartment in a very convenient neighborhood, walking distance from campus, the drag, and plenty of great bars and restaurants. Four of us stayed in Ryan's apartment (ranging in age from 3 to 64) and couldn't have been happier."
6116865,39121686,2015-07-20,38593963,Navid,"The place was very clean and open. We felt very much at home, I would definitely stay here again when I visit Austin."

6116865,52212845,2015-10-27,13902032,Varune,"Ryan was very helpful and easy to contact via email, telephone or text.
The apartment is accurately described and is very clean, accommodating and nice. The TV is very large, beds and bathrooms clean and comfortable. Lots of kitchen utensils and a dishwasher if you're into cooking. There is a good working washer and dryer in the laundry. We had no problems at all. The location of the apartment is excellent for attending football games at UT or attending any events at UT. There is also close walking access to lots of restaurants that accommodate students. The food was good. The only drawback is that the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no elevator access that we could find, maybe there is but it did not bother us. Parking is also covered and well located. This place is well recommended for 2 persons or 2 couples requiring separate bathrooms. We enjoyed our stay."
4047344,20324689,2014-09-27,6618204,Ross,"Ryan is an amazing host and works diligently to give his visitors a perfect experience when visiting Austin. Having stayed at multiple properties of Ryan's, I will say that each property has a unique vibe which is both inviting and totally Austin. The proximity of these places cannot be beat! You will not go wrong staying in any of Ryan's properties. "
4047344,22070877,2014-10-29,21804708,Christopher,"Our stay was was incredible! The unit was gorgeous, clean, and spacious, as well as super close to everything downtown.   Ryan was a super gracious host- personable & professional. His property manager, Thomas, was also super helpful and positive.  Super quick to answer any questions. We had a problem with the WiFi, and they showed up within an hour with a  paid AT&T hotspot for us to use during our stay. Class act."
4047344,22583544,2014-11-10,20938855,Michael,Excellent apartment in the heart of Austin. The apartment was exactly as described and made for a great trip. Would highly recommend.
4047344,22927472,2014-11-17,1291672,Christopher,"The place was awesome! It's exactly as it looks in all the pictures. The best part about the experience was that Ryan sent an email a few days before my stay that had everything in it regarding logistics (checkin, checkout, how to get in) as well really interesting recommendations and guides to Austin. It was a great experience. The location is perfect as well - right in the heart of downtown and just a few blocks from 6th street. "
4047344,24878469,2015-01-03,9544055,Tom,"A great experience all around. The apartment is in the most convenient place, centrally downtown without the street being overcome with pedestrians. The parking is great, secure and easy to access. The apartment itself has everything you need to feel like you're at home and the description is accurate. The guys were super helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had. Thank you for a great experience - I would definitely come back."
4047344,25698005,2015-01-23,1024842,Jacob,"Ryan's place is great. Super clean, convenient downtown location, and has everything you need for your stay. Definitely recommend it if you're headed out to Austin. "

4047344,27831589,2015-03-13,7180825,Bronwyn,"Ryan was a great host and sent a ton of info about the apartment, Austin's best sights and was always available to answer any questions. The apartment is immaculate, resembles the pictures exactly and is literally the best place to stay downtown. It's within walking distance to all major attractions and if you're attending conference at the convention centre then you're literally a one minute walk away. Highly recommend this apartment and Ryan as a host. "
4047344,28087488,2015-03-17,869111,Emi,"Great location right in downtown. Walkable score: high. Perfect for SXSW. Host prepped the place so it was spotless and well arranged. 
Has all you need to spend a great weekend in Austin. Would definitely rent again and recommend to friends and family."
4047344,30308042,2015-04-20,12954774,Mei,"I rented 5 apartments from Ryan on Air BnB for a weekend in Austin (getting my MBA at UChicago and we only travel in packs); the Speakeasy, Retro Chic, Argyle, Grant Austin, and the Cosmopolitan. The apartments are well furnished and well kept. 

Ryan and his property manager (Thomas) are extremely accessible and helpful. All of my questions were quickly answered and it was nice that they checked in with us during the weekend, and were extremely flexible on the check in / check out times. 

The only thing (and this is CLEARLY written in the apartment descriptions, so its just something I should have thought about more carefully) is that it sometimes does really stink to sleep on air mattresses, so if you can at all, I'd highly recommend you only bring enough people that there are beds for. "
4047344,34885320,2015-06-13,11340940,Ning,Great location and the apartment was even better than the photos.  I had a very comfortable stay here!

I'd definitely stay there again. "

964614,3755197,2013-03-11,5266815,Cynthia,"I booked this space on short notice when a client asked me to run an event during SXSW. Not only was this a more convent location than some of the other options at that point, it was far more economical (and I preferred that a couple as great as Luke and Rachel get my money rather than the hotel chains). I slept on a comfortable mattress on a box spring in their spacious living room for two nights. I didn't spend much time there, but it more than fit my needs. It's near the east 6th street bars, as well as a number of restaurants and food trucks/lots. I took a couple classes at the amazing Red Bird Pilates studio between their house and downtown. 
Luke, Rachel, his son, and their two cats were wonderfully hospitable. "
964614,11047243,2014-03-18,11174790,Stephanie,"Luke and Rachel's place is exactly as you will find in the photos. They were both helpful and kind with their recommendations and hospitality. There are great places to eat nearby. If you're headed downtown around Austin Convention Centre, it's within walkable distance. Definitely recommended if you're looking for a chill and easy time in Austin! "
964614,28314242,2015-03-22,27270885,Catie,"Rachel and Luke were extremely easy to work with! We stayed at their East Austin place during SXSW and had no trouble communicating with them about checking in/checking out of their eclectic little place. We were in Austin for work so we didn't spend too much time in their house, but it was just what we needed for the time being and we were able to sleep our large group comfortably there. Thanks you two!"
4729304,28025451,2015-03-16,17604283,Todd,Perfect place for SXSW. close taxi  (10 min) to downtown. clean and comfortable. would stay there again. i had to download the August app and jump through some hoops to be able to unlock/lock the door.  and i wasn't aware of this requirement before purchasing.  if i wasn't tech savvy i'd be pretty bent out of shape about that extra level of effort.  but overall i had a great stay.

4729304,52697172,2015-11-01,225874,Peter,Henry's place is very nice and extremely convenient for me because it is close to my daughter's house. Henry was accessible but not intrusive. I plan to stay here again and would recommend it to others

4410818,32598408,2015-05-19,3391214,Amanda,The location was better than the pictures showed! I hosted my first retreat here and it was gorgeous! The babbling brook at the end of the property is an awesome surprise!!! I would definitely recommend to stay here! 
968108,3777438,2013-03-13,889902,Corey,"Valentina and her husband, Herb, were wonderful hosts!  They made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable in their darling sun room apartment.  The space was perfect for resting up after late, fun nights and long, eventful days in Austin.  It was quiet and comfortable; just right for two people.  Herb also acted as our Austin tour guide, gave us a tour around downtown, recommended places to eat and hang out,  told us where to get great custom boots, and even picked us up after we were done exploring the bars and night life.  We definately plan on staying here again when we make our way to Austin the future."
968108,3826135,2013-03-18,320761,Valerie,"Valentina and Herb's studio apartment is cozy, quiet and clean.  It's a great place to rejuvenate and rest after a long day of exploring Austin.  The apartment is near a few restaurants and bars.  It's also about 7-10 minutes from downtown. 
"
968108,3901553,2013-03-25,2279364,Cristina,"Valentina & Herb were wonderful hosts!
It was a last minute trip to Austin and they took us with only a one day notice. The sun-room is comfortable, clean, in a great location, and perfect for two people. From beginning to end they were very hospitable ... Not to mention, that as we were getting ready to check-out, we realized we had a flat tire; Herb had already noticed and called a friend to come by and help replace it with the spare. We were very pleased and would definitely stay with them again."
968108,3956369,2013-03-30,3531467,Andrew,"Excellent place to stay. Accommodating hosts, comfortable setting, beautiful place. French press coffee was a nice treat in the morning. Thanks!"

The space is a north facing solarium, lots of light, intimate, somewhat funky (appropriate for the 78704), with a huge bathroom, and an ideal location for access to Zilker, Barton Springs, Downtown, Bouldin, SoCo."
968108,4143163,2013-04-13,5845686,Deborah,"Lovely host, lovely space. I stayed on business travel and this suited my needs perfectly. I will most definitely go back. I was looking for something different than the normal stale chain hotels in my budget.  The room is well appointed with unique art, bed is very comfortable, shower is fabulous, easy access to network, fresh fruit on the coffee table.  Best coffee I've had in a hotel room EVER!  I was wishing I could have stayed longer and worked from the room rather than go into the office."
968108,4252761,2013-04-22,5622372,April,"I stayed with Herb and Valentina for almost a week and it was a perfect set up.  I was in Austin for work, so I was onsite for my events and then working from their home a lot as well.  The room is perfect with all the amenities you could need.  It is quiet and private and located near everything.  Herb and Valentina made me feel so welcome.  Thank you!!!!!"
968108,4354543,2013-04-29,6082372,Gary,"I had an amazing time. The place had all I needed and was very unique. Herb was very accommodating, even going as far as offering to pick us up at anytime throughout the night in case we had a little too much fun. The location was a great spot to hit local Austin restaurants and coffee shops. I will definitely stay with them again!"
968108,4684697,2013-05-20,3469497,Ellen,Valentina was a great host and the room was perfect for our weekend stay...close to Barton Springs and everything you want to do in Central/South Austin. We happend upon a purple martin sanctuary down the street...bring your bikes!
968108,5192880,2013-06-17,5657687,Lisa,"Valentina and Herb made our first visit to Austin a most amazing and memorable one.  They were most gracious hosts and so very knowledgable about the area, activities and the best places for food.  We enjoyed each and everything we chose to do as well as just chatting with Valentina and Herb.  
The privacy and solitude of the sun room and the garden area was beautiful and just the thing for really relaxing.
Fresh squeezed orange juice topped things off for a perfect stay in Austin.
"
968108,5356571,2013-06-25,6804277,Kelli,"I needed a quiet little get away for a couple of days and this was the perfect spot. Peaceful, Clean, and the fresh squeezed orange juice by the door each morning was such a treat.  Valentina was very easy to communicate and do business with AND was a great host.  Don't miss out on this place. "
968108,5407645,2013-06-28,1504727,JaMile,"For a last minute trip, this was an awesome place for relaxing and grounding oneself. There's some healing properties in that room also. With the awesome art in the room and lively plants outside, I felt very inspired do some writing, working on music, and find a center at the end of my 2 week vacation. Valentina and Herb are very helpful and have great suggestions about things to see and go around Austin. And on a hot summer day, this place is pretty close to Barton Springs for a quick dip. If your looking for a comfortable place to relax, look no further! I will totally stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
968108,5472731,2013-07-01,7029203,Craig,"The room was private, comfortable and eclectic, the landscaping in the yard was beautiful, and Valentina was an excellent host. Thank you for the fresh orange juice!"
968108,5838454,2013-07-18,7477761,Edgar,"1st time  - and everything was amazing,  thanks!


"
968108,6645769,2013-08-19,8138136,Jennifer,"Great setting with a wonderful glass ceiling, luxurious bathroom and service that goes beyond all expectations. "
968108,7051189,2013-09-04,935735,Evan,"Valentina is an excellent, excellent hostess. We were presented every morning with freshly squeezed orange juice and delicious french press coffee. The space was lovely with natural light and great bathroom (seriously, you have to see the bathroom, it's awesome!).

I would not hesitate to stay with Valentina again. Her place/location and care-taking made all of it a wonderful weekend."
968108,7563515,2013-09-24,8677761,Steve,"The Sun Room was quite lovely, and the shower in the guest bathroom is luxurious. Valentina and Herb were wonderful hosts-- Valentina provided French press coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and organic grapes every morning, and Herb recommended some great places to eat, which we really enjoyed. The location is fantastic. The only downside is that currently (as of our stay, (phone number hidden)) there is construction going on next door, which required earplugs so as not to be woken up at 7AM. They only did the construction on Friday & Saturday morning though, so Sunday and Monday mornings were peaceful! Thanks again to Valentina and Herb for their hopsitality."
968108,7709064,2013-09-30,3009928,Melanie,"We came to Austin for a wedding. Our host, Valentina, was friendly and helpful and very communicative! The bed was the most comfortable I've ever slept on. The location was perfect, the room was sweet and our accomodations were lovely. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!!
"
968108,7837740,2013-10-05,3269190,Rebecca,"Cute small sized sunny guest quarters in the back of a residential home, and absolutely gorgeous large bathroom space! Great location, right near Barton Springs and park trails. Fresh juice and coffee each morning were such a nice perk, and excellent coordination throughout stay. Thanks Valentina!"
968108,7907892,2013-10-07,6432967,Emily,"Valentina and Herb made my stay in Austin very special. I was greeted by Valentina, then she led me around the main house to a beautiful studio apartment. The pictures do not do the beauty of  this place justice. Fresh squeezed orange juice, an apple, and coconut water waited for me in the refrigerator- I was also given tea, coffee and a French press. I spent my first morning in the studio sipping coffee and taking advantage of the watercolor paints left out for me. Lovely. The spacious bathroom, from the lighting to the decor, felt like a spa. On my last night, I laid in bed and watched the rain beat down on the skylights. The whole experience was very relaxing, however, the best part of my stay was meeting Valentina and Herb. They're authentic people- their kindness and their lifestyle is  very inspiring. I liked them so much I bought them a gift! I will definitely be staying here again. "
968108,8075523,2013-10-14,9018275,Julie,"Valentina and her husband were fantastic hosts. 
The studio was perfect. My friend and I were in Austin for the Austin CIty Limits Festival and the location was great ! Also Valentina provided us a parking spot 2 minutes away from the entrance of the festival, very convenient ! Plus, 5 minutes away from downtown by car. The room comes with a few features which made the week end even more enjoyable : orange juice freshly made (delicious to wake up with a breakfast), tea/coffee, nice bathroom, the room is very bright and the plus.. the aquarelle paint left for each artist deep inside you ! 
Also they made our week end very easy by being always available (text, call anytime day/night), very friendly, giving us advice and interested.

I am strongly recommending them if you have to visit Austin. Great location, great room and great hosts. 
"
968108,8219652,2013-10-21,8881795,Tom,The room was good and the hosts were nice and friendly.  Herb even gave us a quick tour of Austin and dropped us off at our destination on our first night (and then gave us our privacy the rest of the trip).  I would recommend.
968108,8350363,2013-10-27,8962274,James,"Comfortable lodging, wonderful hosts, and perfect walking distance for me.  Valentina and Herb are a treasure trove of Austin legend and lore.  It was my first trip to Austin.  They pointed me in the right direction for a great experience, again and again. "
968108,8494107,2013-11-02,5549451,Alex,"very nice, quaint space in a nice part of town. Valentina was very attentive and friendly. Private and pleasant place!"
968108,8557280,2013-11-04,5790680,Brittany,Valentina and Herb were very helpful in getting us acquainted with Austin. We had never been before so they recommended tons of great places for us to check out. I loved the freshly squeezed OJ and french press every morning. Great accommodations! 
968108,8700842,2013-11-12,1208951,Michael,"This place is a diamond in the rough!  Valentina and Herb are super kind and they have a beautiful and unique place.  There was fresh squeezed OJ upon arrival and delicious french press coffee every morning - a very nice touch.  Bathroom and shower are very nice, room gets lots of natural light so good for waking up early to enjoy everything Austin has to offer.  Location is perfect for Zilker, Barton Springs, 1st Street, Auditorium Shores etc.  Would definitely return! "
968108,8744825,2013-11-15,9774915,Alisa,"Loved staying in this lovely space! Lil peaceful oasis. Great energy, cozy and very close to everything you must see in Austin.
Posh bathroom and great cup of coffee in the morning was fantastic!! 
Valentina and her husband were great great great hosts, very accommodating and helpful. I will definitely stay with them again."
968108,8818093,2013-11-19,9486765,Ryan,"Beautiful comfy space, and Valentina was a great host.  Especially appreciated the french press in the morning!"
968108,9622198,2014-01-03,10544946,Cory,"We had an amazing stay in Austin with Herb and Valentina. Herb was kind enough to give us a local tour as soon as we got in even though he he had other out of town guests. The room was perfect size and close to a ton of great areas in Austin. They gave us coffee every morning and fresh orange Juice in the fridge :)

I would stay here again. Hopefully we can make it back to Austin soon"
968108,9778242,2014-01-09,5448697,Stephanie,"My boyfriend and I took a quick trip to Austin and Valentina's place was perfect for our short stay. Her husband Herb gave us some great insight into local eateries, and the tea, orange juice and clementines they provided were a lovely touch. Valentina's communication was also excellent, as she checked in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction throughout our stay. "
968108,9979802,2014-01-22,7748449,April,"My fiance and I stayed here for two nights are we loved it. The main room is cozy and comfortable, and the bath area is really elegant. The shower had strong water pressure and there was plenty of hot water. The WiFi worked very well, and the room was overall very peaceful and private. I think the best part was being able to look up at the stars at night while laying in bed. Herb and Valentina were really great hosts - we would definitely stay here again."
968108,10054153,2014-01-27,6656096,Mark,"Valentina and Herb were great hosts! The French press they provided was nice, and the room is small but great. My girlfriend and I loved it. We would love to return. My girlfriend forgot her running shoes at their place, and Herb was nice enough to send them back ASAP. If you want a nice, artsy place. Go here! Great spot! "
968108,10143173,2014-02-02,1102731,Andy,"First off, the space:   While it may seem small at first glance, it's the perfect size for a couple of weary travelers.  The bed is beyond comfortable, and you will soon be glad it takes up as much space as it does. The bathroom is undoubtedly the highlight of the space, and you will find yourself lingering in the shower far longer than you usually would. The space has absolutely everything you need as a traveler (Drawers, Shelves, Fridge, Sink, electric kettle), and some things you may not. (Bidet, anyone?)

Valentina and Herb were exceptionally great hosts.
They compliment each other very well:
-Valentina will make sure your space is as clean as a surgeons tools, and uses her artistic touch to make it seem as if everything in the room has a deeper meaning. (Does it? Stay and find out!)
-Herb, who may or may not be Bob Marley's step brother, will put you at ease no matter WHAT the situation may be. Trust me, he's pretty comfortable no matter what happens.

Valentina and Herb go beyond being good AirBnB hosts: they're genuinely good people, and an exceptional example of what makes Austin such a great town.  If you want to really find out what makes our town tick, an essential piece to that puzzle is to meet the characters who give it such a unique flavor.  You couldn't possibly do much better than these two on that front!

Although you may be able to find a larger space for the price, I promise you will not regret booking this spot.  Everything goes above and beyond:

-The location (Stones through from everything)
-Comfort Level (Gemutlich!)
-Environment (Very peaceful street,  surrounded by gardens)
-Surprises galore (I don't want to ruin it for you!)

I don't normally leave such gushing reviews online, as I almost feel like a shill when I do so, but to do any less for these two would not be doing the place justice. Give these guys a chance!!
"
968108,10236671,2014-02-08,3531467,Andrew,"Valentina's place is excellent. Great quality to the space, character, natural light, art. She has made some nice improvements too. I have stayed there several times over the past year and I will continues to do so when I return to Austin."
968108,10272061,2014-02-10,11068702,Jeremy,"The sun room was great to stay in and watch the stars, and moon at night while lying in bed. The location was very convenient to many different parts of Austin.

I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stay in Austin and close to the action but be far enough away to be able to escape it."
968108,10340032,2014-02-14,11571839,Camerron,"Valentina & Herb were wonderful hosts... they were there if you needed them, but otherwise the sun room offered wonderful privacy with lots of window! The south side of Austin is a great area to be in as well. Tons of great food & access to Barton Creek Greenbelt!"
968108,10391308,2014-02-17,11491694,Betsey,I booked this room for my husband and he was thrilled with the experience of staying with Valentina and her husband. He called me everyday telling me how wonderful and accomodating they were. They went the extra effort in showing him around town which was over and above what he expected. Staying in their home in their quiet neighborhood made him feel like he was on vacation when he was actually in Austin for a huge conference. I hope I am able to travel with him next time!
968108,10518085,2014-02-23,11914574,Megan,"I was visiting Austin for a work conference and needed a place to stay that I could afford.  Valentina's place looked perfect as I knew I would be in and out most of the time and it looked very nice and private.  I was able to call cabs and have them pick me up and take me home easily.  On days I was not working, I felt comfortable walking around and was very close to good food and Barton Springs.  Valentina was an excellent host with information on where to go when I needed it and she left fruit and the local weekly outside in the morning, very nice touch!  Also, the bathroom/bed were great and there was tea and filtered water in the room.  Very pleased with my experience and I would return!"
968108,10593069,2014-02-26,3857308,Steven,Valentina is great. Very good with communication. Fresh French press coffee everyday!  Small place but laid out well. Bed was comfy. Bathroom very nice. Patio area is great. Great location. Because of the size is Best for one person.  Would stay again!
968108,10694712,2014-03-03,12223224,Samantha,"This was a great place to stay for a getaway weekend in Austin. Since it was our first time in Austin, Herb told us helpful tips on where to go, to eat, etc. The unit's bathroom is beautiful and luxurious. The sunroom studio itself is cozy and the artwork inside adds unique beauty as well. My favorite part was probably watching the sun go down while sipping a beer on the porch-glider chair in the garden. Delicious french press coffee and orange juice! "
968108,10752818,2014-03-05,12639564,Linda,"My visit at the Sun Room Studio made my trip to Austin complete.  I was in Austin for the first time for a floral design seminar, and I waited til the last minute to book a room.  Valentina responded immediately to my questions and I was booked right away, which was a relief.  Then, I got to spend two nights in the Studio.  The bed was like a warm nest with a perfect view of the sky during the recent storm.  I was cozy and warm all night even though it was below freezing outside.  Coming back after a long day to the amazing shower (perfect water pressure) felt like a gift.  I had a wonderful time for my first trip to Austin and Valentina was a big part of the reason why!"
968108,10790514,2014-03-07,9030008,Ashley,"I had a fantastic time at Velentina's space. It had everything I needed and the location is incredible. She was so friendly and accommodating - I will certainly stay there again on my next work trip!  Thanks so much, Ashley."
968108,10899688,2014-03-12,10255340,Kevin,"This is exactly what every AirBNB should be - a comfortable bed, in a really beautiful space, in a good location in town, that's clean, well-maintained, and run by a wonderful host who goes out of her way to make sure that you're comfortable. 10/10 would stay here again if I'm in Austin."
968108,11181334,2014-03-24,1610718,Siv,"I'm a pretty experienced AirBnB traveler who also rents my own spaces, and our stay with Valentina was one of my favorites! She and her husband, Herb, were so welcoming and gracious, we were sad to go! 

I've stayed in all types of AirBnB rentals. There's the ""the key is in the dropbox, strip the bed before you go"" types, and then there are the hosts who make you feel like an old family friend whose visiting and who they want to make sure experiences the best of their city. Valentina and Herb are firmly in the latter category. They stocked the fridge with orange juice, soy milk and cream and put out a French press for us every morning. The night we arrived (we drove 10 hours from New Orleans), they welcomed us with two glasses of red wine and some pleasant conversation about where we should go and what we should do on our trip. We took Herb's advice and he directed us to a great bar on Saturday night and delicious tacos on Sunday morning. It was great to have advice from a true Austin-dweller. 

The space is small and cozy with a cool, bohemian vibe, and was perfect for a couple, like us, who had been on the road for 10 hours. The bed was very comfortable and the high-pressure shower was great. You couldn't host a dinner party or bring a family of 5 to this place, but for our purposes, it was ideal. Sleeping under the skylight was really lovely. We fell asleep under the stars and woke up to the birds. We also had free reign to enjoy Valentina and Herb's lovely patio and garden, and I so enjoyed sitting out on the swing, reading and listening to the birds in the morning. 

I would absolutely stay with Valentina and Herb again and I hope I get the opportunity to do so on my next trip to Austin!"
968108,11421068,2014-04-01,13545987,Charlie,An excellent place to stay.  Awesome coffee (with coconut milk as an option!). The shower is incredible.  Convenient to Zilker Park as well as several restaurants.
968108,11628253,2014-04-09,816515,Lucas,"Amazing space, best location and best value in Austin.   Super quiet street, with street parking available.  The Studio was very clean, and the 'hidden' entrance to the bathroom was very unique and cool.  Valentina and Herb were super friendly and very helpful giving us great recommendations for food and entertainment in Austin (Chuy's and White Horse).  Would highly recommend this studio for 1-2 people. "
968108,11711341,2014-04-13,12265175,Katherine Elizabeth Liz,"Valentina was a gracious hostess.  The apartment was great and beautifully decorated. Comfortable, efficient use of space.  Kitchen area with small fridge which she stocked with orange juice and various coffee creams.  French press and tea provided.  The bathroom is spectacular!  The hosts are helpful and are there to offer suggestions and advice, but also provide privacy.  There is a small TV, and a great private patio.  The location is fantastic-near Barton Springs and Zilker Park, close to Downtown and South Congress/Lamar areas.  We really enjoyed our stay!"
968108,12192462,2014-04-25,5490661,Leila,"It is without hesitation that I recommend the Sun Rom Studio Apartment in So. Lamar Austin.
Light . bright . and a shower to get lost in.
Valentina and husband were exceptionally welcoming providing those extras that made the difference ... coffee, juice and a few other little amenities that made me feel welcome."
968108,12334474,2014-04-29,3274729,Jake And Pam,"Just returned from a wonderful Austin visit with family.  We were fortunate to stay in a great sun room venue in our family's neighborhood. The location and space was ideal for us. Our hosts were so gracious and the room fully met our needs.  Valentina provided yummy fresh fruit in the mornings and delicious french press coffee.  The bed was divine.  We slept soundly and comfortably.  A great shower was the perfect complement for us at the end of our active days.  Thank you for a great stay. pam and jake

968108,12543083,2014-05-05,8292245,Miriam,"My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Valentina's!  The room is charming, with a big sky light, amazing paintings and very neat carved wooden doors.  Valentina and her husband were very friendly, gave us suggestions of things to do in Austin and made us feel right at home! "
968108,13178869,2014-05-21,6136087,Erin,"It was a pleasure to meet Herb and Valentina.  They shaped much of our Austin stay through their insight of the city.  The room was cozy and the shower exotic. Their backyard is a calming place comprised of beautiful vegetation. 

We are grateful for their kindness and the relaxed atmosphere they provided to us.  "
968108,13419607,2014-05-27,13954502,Julia,"We had a really nice stay at the Sun Room Studio Apartment.  We travelled to Austin from NC to visit our son and his girlfriend over a long Memorial Day week-end. Valentina was there to greet us when we arrived and she showed us around. The space was cozy and comfortable. As other reviewers have said, the bathroom was especially nice -- a big walk-in shower with three showerheads!  The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the French press coffee and orange juice in the morning. The neighborhood was an eclectic mix and convenient to downtown, although not within walking distance.  It was a nice alternative to a more generic hotel and we would recommend it to other visitors."
968108,13708936,2014-06-02,15854509,Lori,"I thought the Sun Room Studio was great!  It was very peaceful and I loved the decor.  There was coffee in a french press, which my husband thought was the best coffee he'd EVER had!  Valentina had fresh fruit in the room when we arrived.  The location was in close proximity to where we wanted to go.  The neighborhood was great!  We really enjoyed it and would highly recommend this to anyone else."
968108,13997308,2014-06-09,15191867,New,"This was the cutest little studio converted into a private mini apartment ever!  The location was really convenient, and Valentina was very attentive.  I really enjoyed my stay."
968108,14651804,2014-06-23,2457211,Jordan,"We arrived very late into Austin because of flight delay (around 1:30 am) and the host was very gracious to stay up and meet us immediately. This one bedroom was perfect everything (size, location, ambiance, etc.) and with a beautiful backyard where we could enjoy a nice glass of wine. The hosts were excellent as well, we would highly recommend this spot."
968108,15020274,2014-06-30,10063123,Austin,"I’ll admit when I first saw that room I felt a little deceived because the picture make the room seem a lot bigger than it is.  After the initial shock settled in I was able to realize that what this place lacked in space it made up for it in amenities like its triple shower in the bathroom, comfortable bed, and sun-room style windows that allows you to lay back and watch the clouds float by.  This place is really close to everything you could want to do in Austin, down the street from Barton Springs, restaurants, and a short Uber ride from dirty Sixth and Rainey Street.  Valentina’s service was amazing, she offered fresh coffee (if you know how to French press) and juice in the morning while still giving us plenty of privacy to enjoy Austin.  I would definitely recommend this place; it will literally have you jumping for joy (trampoline in the backyard)."
968108,15401979,2014-07-08,15473683,Marilyn,"Valentina and her partner were great hosts, offering us many interesting places to see and restaurants to try. The small room was orderly and efficient with everything we needed, including coffee, orange juice and milk. The bathroom was the best part with two sinks, great for a couple, and a large shower. 
The air-conditioning worked very well and made for a pleasant entry after spending time in the heat of Austin in July.
We were visiting our daughter who lives downtown, and the commute was less than 10 minutes by car, which was a plus.
We recommend Valentina's space. 
"
968108,15542889,2014-07-11,16746979,Anastasia,"We had a great time in Austin. The way things worked out for us this trip, we didn't stay in the sun room studio. Instead Valentina and Hugh offered us a different property of theirs, for reasons to do with our timing. We ended up feeling settled into the alternate property and didn't move to the studio. So I can't leave an honest review of this space. 

What I do know is where it is, and it's a lovely area in a pretty and quiet neighborhood. Being close to Barton Springs is it's high point. I can also say that Hugh was very helpful in offering suggestions on where to go, and kindly offered us rides as we didn't have a car. 
We opted to rent a tandem bike for transportation instead, and had a blast on that. 

Come for the Springs, and eat everything in sight!"
968108,15951239,2014-07-19,14209387,Bryant,"We all read reviews in hope of avoiding unpleasant surprises as we travel, yet we travel in hopes of finding surprising pleasant memories. The hints in other reviews about Valentina and the Sun Room are as true as their words and there are surprises. 
The Location: Traffic noise from south Lamar Boulevard, a major artery for Austin, cannot be heard at this home. You can hear the loons along Barton Creek calling each morning with chirps of the Common Grackle mixed in. There is also the faint sound of the passing train whistle, but because it is passing multiple road crossing, does not blow the required long blast. With the room fan running, sounds are very minimal. No restaurant, bar, or BBQ place is over a 15 minute drive, unless you wanted it to be. The S. Congress Bridge and the famous Bat Flight are not more than five minutes by road. The neighborhood is very quiet. 
The Room: As Herb, Valentina's spouse, explained, the sun's heat does not penetrate the multiple layers of glass, argon gas, and reflective film but does allow copious amount of sunlight during the day and lightning from infrequent summer storms during the night. I could stare directly into the sun from this room. Observe the photo closely and you will see it is a small space, I'm guessing about 180 square feet in floor space. But we were not there to dwell in the room all day but have sufficient sleeping room on a comfortable bed at night; this the room does have. That pleasant surprise I mentioned was a triple shower head, double sink, single vanity, single toilet, spacious tilled bathroom hidden behind the secret narrow panel in the wall. I'll leave it at that. Be advised the room is located behind Valentina's house and access is about 50 feet off the street on an uneven stone walkway. If you have limited mobility walking, then you might consider another property. The host, Valentina and Herb should be the official greeters of Texas. They could not have possibly been more helpful and personable. We spent seven days with them and they quickly responded to any need we had. 
The Question: will we return? You bet your best cowboy boots we will. Signed Spartan Caver. "
968108,16280959,2014-07-24,9743992,Don,"Hosts are warm and friendly.  Their communication before arrival and during stay was easy and clear.  Fresh ground coffee and French press every morning.  Short drive or moderate walk to Barton Springs.  Glass roof is a wonderful twist.  Heads-up - double bed is soft, not firm, and, as others have noted, this is a sweet, but very small space.  "
968108,16757527,2014-08-01,18880542,Nikita,"Imagine waking up to beautiful sunrays shining all around you or laying in bed staring at clouds float by right inside the heart of Austin, Texas.  The Sun Room Studio, though moderately sized, includes a little natural oasis right near all the action and adventure Austin has to offer and provides a comfortable, peaceful dwelling for two.

The eclectic backhouse is nestled in the heart of Downtown Austin right off the hip and upcoming South Lamar Boulevard which has a wide array of trendy shops, hip bars and delicious local eateries.  Barton Springs and the Green Belt are just minutes away if you want to swim, rock climb or just be one with nature.  Also 6th Street, The Capitol, The University of Texas and all the coolest spots in Austin are in near proximity. 

The Room itself contains a spacious bed directly below triple tempered glass with a middle layer of argon glass allows sunrays into the room but prevents them from blinding you or causing the temperature to rise.  The sunroom is behind the house of an artist who has decorated the dwelling with her personal artwork of varied styles.  She keeps it extremely clean and graciously attends to any questions or concerns while leaving you in privacy.  The host also gives you full access to her backyard and provides coffee and juice inside the room.  The one feature that stood out the most besides the glass roof above the bed was the bathroom.  You walk through an ancient Indonesian door and enter a rather large bathroom with decorated tiles.  There are two sinks as well as a large shower with THREE shower heads!  From different angles water shoots from the wall and provides a truly amazing bathing experience for more than one person at a time if need be.  I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend everyone to stay at the Sun Room Studio Apartment. "

Valentina and Herb were both great hosts that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and more. The space is cozy but had everything we needed for a nice stay and the bathroom/shower setup was great!
Would definitely recommend to others and use again on our next visit to Austin!

968108,17389476,2014-08-11,2457839,Gregory,"Simply put: an amazing experience. Valentina and Herb were incredibly hospitable, and my girlfriend and I had a fantastic time. I am a native Austinite and wanted to show my guest a great experience, and this spot did not disappoint. Beautiful space, very comfortable queen bed, and an expansive bathroom that appears hidden behind a tiny door, like something out of Hogwarts. Thanks to Valentina and Herb for an amazing weekend in Austin. "
968108,18947741,2014-09-03,13669914,David,"My wife and I had a terrific time staying at the sun room. The room was exactly as described, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was huge with a really great shower.  Valentina is a very gracious host and you have all the privacy you need.  The neighborhood is AWESOME and is so close to parks, shops, and entertainment. Valentina and her husband were excellent guides to the city and neighborhood.  We also loved how bright the room was and the ample natural light and beautiful surroundings made it a wonderful place to rest up and read a book or plan the day.  I can't wait to go back to Austin and hope to stay at the sun room again. "
968108,20230282,2014-09-26,17784497,Celia,"Great place to stay with wonderful and helpful hosts. Quiet little spot with everything you need. Comfy bed, fun bathroom and room stays nice and cool even with all the windows. It is bright tho so if you plan on sleeping in be prepared. "
968108,20368903,2014-09-28,20127825,Babul,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was fantastic! We arrived and Herb showed up the magnificent Sun Room studio and made us feel very comfortable. Valentina and Herb are just wonderful people and their place is truly unique. Loved the bed, French Press coffee, and basically relaxing in such a nice place with great hosts!"
968108,21028502,2014-10-10,3802028,Isamu,"It was very easy to arrange arrival and departure with Valentina. She was very helpful with explaining all the details about the studio and recommending things to do around the neighborhood. The studio is very unique with lots of sunlight, and a really nice, big bathroom. The garden in from of the studio with a seating area is very relaxing. It is walking distance to barton springs and all the nice restaurants and shops on 1st and congress. We had a car but decided to take a walk to the river one of the days. Highly recommended!"
968108,21194141,2014-10-13,5797124,Carmen,"My fiance and I stayed at the Sun Room during the ACL music festival.  Herb and Valentina were exceptional hosts.  Herb even dropped us off and picked us up from the festival the first night.  The location was convenient.  The room was charming.  Albeit a bit smaller than it looked in photos, it served our purposes well.  The bathroom was excellent with an awesome shower.  Valentina made sure we had coffee and juice in the morning and even brought us fresh fruit."
968108,21826962,2014-10-25,20688573,Jim,"We've always wanted to visit Austin and an invitation to a wedding made it happen for us.  We decided to stay a week and make a vacation for ourselves, sight see and learn as much as we could about the area.  We also decided to try our first airbnb after hearing positive experiences from our children.

The experience at Herb and Valentina's has made us converts!  We know every situation is different and we know that their sun room studio apartment has unique features: privacy, due to its separate entrance, a lovely outdoor sitting area where I could sit with my computer, prime location with easy access to everything the city offers, a high quality queen size bed and a spacious bathroom.  It was so much fun to reside in a real neighborhood for a week where we could get the feel of actually ""living"" in Austin.

Herb is an encyclopedia of information about the area--a real advantage to staying with actual residents.  We did almost everything he suggested, including a day trip to Johnson City and Fredricksburg in which we really got a feel for the beautiful Texas hill country.  

If you are a gardener, as I am, you will love living in the midst of Valentina's gardens.  She has created a magical environment--a true secret garden and retreat.  We would return in a heartbeat and will sing its praises to friends and family.  



"
968108,22018868,2014-10-28,20398781,Rebecca,"My husband and I truly enjoyed staying here! The room was a perfect fit for the two of us and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed and pillows were comfy, the bathroom was beautiful, and the backyard was so peaceful. Valentina and Herb are excellent and generous hosts with a love for their city and lots of great recommendations for the area. We would definitely go back!"
968108,22869868,2014-11-16,9175616,Brad,"Valentina and Herb were wonderful and accommodating. I needed to find a place last minute for my parents to stay, and Valentina was extremely quick to respond and help me. Getting in and out of the place was totally low maintenance, the neighborhood was wonderful and convenient, Overall wonderful experience!"
968108,23389412,2014-11-30,23452319,Miguel,"From the moment we booked, we were welcomed. Valentina and Herb were great and the Sun Room was wonderful, especially the shower. Herb's recommendations made for a trip that was unique from my other Austin visits, especially his restaurant recommendations, so be sure to ask for his advice. Everything worked out perfectly, and we'll be sure to book again."
968108,23557681,2014-12-04,3531467,Andrew,Excellent experience once again. My favorite place to stay in ATX!
968108,23923339,2014-12-14,185329,Charlton,Great place to stay. Valentina and her husband were very welcoming despite my really late arrival! The space is cozy but has absolutely everything you would need. I'd definitely recommend.
968108,24062177,2014-12-18,24127183,Natalie,This is the best place to stay in Austin hands down. The location is great. You can walk pretty much anywhere and make good time. Valentina and Herb are great host. They have amazing communication and are extremely helpful. My boyfriends birthday came up and Valentina made great recommendations about a bakery. The space is unique and quiet. Perfect for people traveling in pairs. I recommend for anyone
968108,24340386,2014-12-26,378754,Stuart,"Great place. Good communication, very much as described. Loved the window roof and the artistic touches."
968108,24595248,2014-12-31,7530139,Nataliya,"This sun room studio apartment is quite magical with so much light and a lovely view of the sky!  The neighborhood is central, close to a lot of Austin favorites.  Valentina was a great host, communicated well throughout the entire process, and left a sweet treat of fresh pineapple, almonds, and dried cranberries as a parting gift."
968108,25319816,2015-01-12,10158270,Evan,I had a great experience - Valentina & Herb's sunroom studio fit my needs perfectly as I was solo and did not require much room. It was clean and private. The bathroom was very nice as well. Valentina & Herb were great hosts. Personal touches but no time did I feel imposed upon or a lack of privacy. I would stay there again. 
968108,25486711,2015-01-17,2408266,Austin,"This space was perfect for me visiting on a business trip. I wanted somewhere close to my favorite Austin spots with the ""quirky"" Austin charm that I love so much.

The space may seem small when you get there, but it's perfect for everything you need. The bed is comfortable and going to sleep & waking up to the beautiful Texas sky is awesome. The fridge and microwave are perfect if you are trying to stay in Austin without eating out every meal (I would recommend The Wheatsville Co-op down the road for groceries) and Valentina supplied fresh coffee every morning. 

Valentina and Herb were super nice, attentive, and laid-back hosts. They were responsive via text if I needed anything, but the space is separate and it felt very private. They both made sure my stay was comfortable and were flexible with my last minute check in time and late check out.

Would definitely recommend based on comfort, location, ease of check-in, and hosts!"
968108,25621227,2015-01-20,20560311,Sofya,My boyfriend and I stayed at the apartment for 3 nights. Our stay was very enjoyable. Valentina  was accommodating & friendly. Transparent/glass ceiling was very unusual which we enjoyed a lot. This apartment conveniently  located near all the sights. We would definitely recommend staying here.
968108,25754458,2015-01-25,6247197,Laurie,"Great stay at Valentina's and Herb's.  Comfortable and cozy.  Lovely convenient neighborhood.  Easy parking.  A nice walk to fun area of South Congress.  Our hosts were really helpful when asked to suggest places to see in Austin, including wonderful spots to listen to music, hear comedy, etc.  Herb and Valentina were available, but not intrusive, and did what they could to make our stay in Austin a memorable one.  

"
968108,25875933,2015-01-28,24778442,Bridget,"Our hosts greeted us upon arrival with a tour of the apartment and numerous recommendations for places to eat and catch live musical performances.  They also gave us a few tips on the natural features of Austin, which are lovely as well.  Everything was very clean and well kept, except the sheets could have used a lint rolling, as we found a few stray hairs in the otherwise clean sheets.  Their backyard is lovely, hammocks, tables and a good amount of natural privacy from the surrounding foliage.  

It's a pretty small space, if you don't mind close quarters with very little walking space, the windows above the bed and the superb shower experience make up for it.  Coffee was always provided and we were checked upon every day to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction.  They are a wonderful couple, we recommend staying here!"
968108,26294748,2015-02-09,11626143,Don,"We had a great time staying at Valentina and Herb’s place. The space is small but perfectly adequate for two people. It is functional, and quirky with great artistic touches. We loved waking up looking up at the sky. The location was perfect for us. Close to great restaurants, Zilker Park and the lake/river. Herb is a wealth of information. He not only had great restaurant recommendations, but knew the best items on the menu.  We would definitely stay here again."
968108,26405797,2015-02-11,3531467,Andrew,"Accommodating as always, and a beautiful and unique place to stay in Austin. This is my favorite place in Austin and stay there often."
968108,26680587,2015-02-17,4042965,Natasja,"We had a fantastic stay at the Sun Room. The space was clean and cozy. Valentina and Herb were wonderful hosts -- very welcoming yet they also respected our space! The coffee was delicious. Great insider tips on where to go in Austin. 
We were very pleased to find that many of the spots we had read about were within walking distance: El Primo, Lenoir (delicious!!), Alamo theatre, and even Barton Springs (well, a walk + short bike ride). We also rented a car at nearby Enterprise for $9.99/day! "
968108,26811086,2015-02-19,3190039,Josh,This place is super charming and just a few minuets to south congress where all the shopping and good food spots are. Cozy and quiet with a great atrium right above the bed for natural lighting. 
968108,26914036,2015-02-22,25542714,Lynn,"Valentina was a wonderful host and the studio was perfect for our stay in Austin. The garden was beautiful and perfect place for a French press in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. The apartment is tiny but the bathroom is great with 2 sinks and a double shower.we didn't spend much time there so the size wasn't an issue 
Walking distance from Zilker and Barton springs  pool. Walk downtown and to SOFI and SOCO if you really want to see Austin and it's people (but only if you have great walking shoes!)"
968108,27188413,2015-02-27,28183756,Rodney,"She checked in with me via text and email daily to make sure I was comfortable. The neighborhood was mixed - new houses and old and had the stereotypical Austin artsy feel. The room was small, but I had all the space I needed. The shower had better-than-usual pressure. I loved that. 

I don't know if ladies would be comfortable with the open glass ceiling, but I felt it was adequately covered in the lower parts, and had no direct line of site to any of the neighbor's windows. It felt like sleeping under the stars, but in a really comfortable way."
968108,27428807,2015-03-04,22041921,Gabrielle,Valentina is such a kind and thoughtful host. The space is beautiful and unique. The shower is incredible and the bed was amazingly comfy. Valentina respected our space but was always there if we had a question. I would love to stay with her again. Thank you Valentina!
968108,27809190,2015-03-12,8587537,Tess,"Valentina and her husband were wonderful hosts, and the Sun Room was a cozy space for my sister and I's two-night stay. After hiking around West and Central Texas for 4 days, we very much appreciated the more than comfortable bed, and short drive to some of Austin's best restaurants on S. Congress. The hosts were kind, attentive (thanks for the amazing coffee each morning!), and always only a phone call or text away. I would definitely stay here again!"
968108,28070354,2015-03-17,9174418,Diana,"What a lovely stay with Valentina! I loved waking up in the morning with the sun rising through the windows and birds singing their morning song. The bed was super comfortable for a great night’s rest, multiple options for shower pressure, kitchenette with the necessities, and a great mirror for primping. I was staying for SXSW and found the place was the perfect location to get to events downtown and then get away from the crowds. Zilker Park, the Greenbelt, and Barton Springs Pool are nearby. I enjoyed sunset runs through the trails and a dip in the pool. Valentina and her husband made sure that everything was more than I expected. They are very accommodating, super friendly, and available as much or as little as you’d like them to be. I couldn’t have asked for more."
968108,28196375,2015-03-19,24603145,Max,"Valentina was a wonderful hostess.  Very helpful and constantly worked to make my stay as comfortable as possible.  She couldn't have done a better job.  

The apartment itself is also really impressive.  High ceiling with big windows make for a very nice, naturally lit ambiance.  The bed is very comfy and the shower is also spectacular.  I'd recommend to anyone looking for a great place ten min from downtown Austin.

Her husband Herb was also a great city guide.  His knowledge of restaurants and local hot spots made my time in Austin much more enjoyable.  Can't wait to come back!"
968108,28787721,2015-03-30,1610718,Siv,"This was our second stay at Valentina and Herb's place and we had such a nice stay last year that we booked again this year. As always, the place was super comfortable and in a great location. Our hosts were always happy to provide recommendations for things to do, or just pleasant conversation when we ran into them out in the sunny yard. The mattress is so, so comfortable and the large, high-pressure shower makes this place the perfect spot to unwind after our travels. "
968108,29195060,2015-04-05,21062255,Charlie,Awesome spot to explore Austin. Hosts are extremely accommodating and friendly. Cozy but comfortable digs. There are cats on the property (although not in the unit) so that might be an issue if you have sensitive allergies.
968108,29725565,2015-04-12,22858760,Mandi,"Valentina and Herb were excellent Hosts.  They asked us if we wouldn't mind staying in another of their units to make accommodations for an elderly couple coming into town.  This worked for us, as we were pretty flexible. The unit we stayed at was super convenient to where we wanted to be, and the property was spacious and peaceful.  The unit was perfect for our needs and the location was amazing! We walked to dinner, bars, and even Downtown.  Valentina and Herb were very nice and we look forward to staying with them again next time we are in town.  "
968108,30148104,2015-04-18,29821827,Ellison,"The room was actually as it appeared in photographs. The marble bath was as big as the bedroom and very luxurious. The garden and the neighborhood were the cherry on top. It was a very pleasant ~one mile walk to Barton Creek and South 1st. 

Valentina was a great hostess- communicative, unubtrusive and upfront about everything. Truly a great find."
968108,30619858,2015-04-25,25707016,Jessica,"We stayed a week at Valentina's while visiting our daughter in Austin.  The sunroom, while small, is cleanly and efficiently organized with wonderful comfortable touches.  The bathroom is fabulous, as is the patio and the planting all around the house. Valentina is a warm and gracious host; every morning, The French press was set up with coffee, and she and Herb were available when we needed something but respectful of our privacy as well.  We enjoyed a friendly chat now and then.  The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and quite beautiful, convenient to most of what we wanted to do in South Austin, the Zilker area, and downtown. We would definitely stay with them again and would highly recommend the Sunroom to a single or quiet couple who are looking for a sanctuary from which to fully enjoy all that Austin has to offer."
968108,30982617,2015-04-30,23245067,Brian,Herb and Valentina were wonderful hosts.  They provided excellent recommendations along with fresh coffee every day.  My wife and I are so glad we decided to stay at their unique property rather than some ordinary hotel.  We also were extremely pleased with the location.  Very safe and it never took us longer than 15 minutes by car to get to any destinations in the city of Austin.  The listing description is right on and strongly recommend.  
968108,31985898,2015-05-12,2481945,Doug,Valentina and Herb are awesome hosts.  They couldn't have made us feel more comfortable. So nice of them to provide us with french press coffee every morning!  The space is small but lovely.  And bathroom is huge.  It was a terrific stay!
968108,33556036,2015-05-29,33942883,Alex,"This was our first experience with Air BNB and Valentina made our stay wonderful! The place was clean and comfortable, the bathroom was freaking awesome and the French press was an added bonus. Thank you for our stay! We'd definitely come back "
968108,34121476,2015-06-05,29196055,Laura,"Valentina was a wonderful hostess - very accommodating and communicative. We arrived in Austin a little earlier in the day, and she was flexible with her time, letting us check in a bit earlier. Valentina was responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay and had great suggestions for things to do, but she also respected our space and privacy.

The sun room was really great. The room, itself, was cozy, the bathroom was very big, and the location was perfect. We typically walked to downtown Austin and took an Uber back later in the evening. We would definitely book with Valentina again!"
968108,34389038,2015-06-07,34402396,Ethan,"My girlfriend and I planned a last minute trip to Austin, and we could not have had a better stay at Herb and Valentina's place. As soon as we arrived Herb greeted us and gave us great recommendations of things to do and showed us where everything was in the apartment. The location was PERFECT and close to everything we wanted to do in Austin (6th St/Kayaking/Congress Ave/etc). The space is extremely cozy and we felt very comfortable our entire stay. The french pressed coffee left out for us on the outdoor table every morning was a great touch. We would definitely come back and stay at the Sun Room again. "
968108,35317132,2015-06-17,4798234,Kathleen,I had an amazing experience at Valentina's place. It was exactly as she described and I couldn't have been more pleased with Valentina and Herb's hospitality and the overall feeling of comfort and quality. It was a pleasure spending 3 days in their artist's atelier and I enjoyed all the ambience of indoor/outdoor living immensely!
968108,35522105,2015-06-19,35601959,Naomi,"The space was lovely and bright. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Great location, walkable to south congress shops and restaurants. Also loved the quiet cute neighborhood!"
968108,37218612,2015-07-05,36212822,Michelle,"I had a fabulous experience at Valentina & Herb's place in Austin. They needed the Sun Room Studio for something so upgraded me to another property, the Purple Cave. The space was beautiful, clean, romantic, and had everything we needed for the weekend. Herb was incredibly welcoming when showing us around the space and gave us lots of ideas on how to spend the weekend in Austin. They left us a bottle of wine, coffee, and coconut water in the fridge. He also checked in via text during the stay to make sure we had everything we needed, and responded quickly with directions when we needed something. A great stay and great hosts--highly recommend for anyone considering a stay in Austin!"
968108,37884151,2015-07-11,36034631,Janeen,What a nice experience! The hosts were kind and professional and the accommodations were clean and comfortable! I'd definitely stay here again.
968108,38893039,2015-07-19,6179781,Etienne,"The Sun Room Studio Apartment was a great weekend retreat. A small quaint space that allows for bright and sunny early mornings. Valentina was very kind and thorough with her initial walk through. A couple brief text messages to ensure that all was in order were received. Of course, everything was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this to any early morning risers!"
968108,39581135,2015-07-24,7178468,Brendon,"I really enjoyed my stay at the Sun Room.  Valentina was an excellent host.  She greeted me in person to show me around, and had a fresh coffee waiting for me outside the apartment every morning.  I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Austin."
968108,39878701,2015-07-26,24598978,Gary,"Accurate information and warm welcome. The host was quick and responsive to texts. The place has an artist vibe in a kind of ""tiny house"" space -- in the very best way. Glorious northern light and quiet. But small, again, in a good way."
968108,40830808,2015-08-02,37841371,Nicholas,"Everything was as advertised! Valentina and Herb were great hosts. They left us alone for the most part and were very friendly when called upon. They even provided purified water, tea, and french press coffee! The room, an old artist's studio, had a lot of character and unique features. The bathroom was impressive, it was almost as large as the living area! This was a very quiet neighborhood with a great central location with quick access to pretty much everything ATX has to offer. I would definitely consider staying here again and would likewise recommend staying here to any Airbnb user!"
968108,41226832,2015-08-05,25707016,Jessica,"This was my second time staying at Valentina's and, once again, I felt right at home.  I love the warm artistry of this immaculate creative space. Valentina is an exceptionally gracious host, readily available, but also respectful of one's privacy.  I was so happy to be able to stay with Valentina and Herb again and look forward to seeing them in the future."
968108,41562716,2015-08-07,11392122,Casey,"The sunroom is a fantastic place to stay if you're hoping to get up early with the sun. Which is perfect for maximizing sunlight for vacation activities. But, it can also be a double-edged sword if you're trying to sleep in. Even in the 100 degree weather the temperature is nice. At night it's a moon room! You can watch the moon drift across the night sky. 

We only met Valentina's husband, Herb. He was very enthusiastic and told us all about the surrounding area. Although I've been to Austin several times, his recommendations were very influential to our visit. He even took us to a good place to park and walk to Zilker Park for an event. They were also very sensitive to our privacy.

One detail to note, and this is more of an AirBNB categorization thing, but this is somewhere in between an ""entire apartment/house"" and ""private room"". It's still connected to the house, but you don't need to walk through the house to get to it. It still works out great, but something you might consider if you're looking for that entire apartment feel.

Oh, and the bathroom is amazing. Also, the porch and garden area are amazing. "
968108,41887466,2015-08-09,5836753,Janet,The room was perfect and Valentina was charming!  The location is great - we walked to dinner both nights and had great meals.  I definitely recommend this room and would stay there again.
968108,42994123,2015-08-16,4205569,Cory,"Had a WONDERFUL stay at Valentina's place.  It is unique and totally AUSTIN.  There is enough space for 2, and the bathroom is GREAT.  I highly recommend staying here"
968108,43643099,2015-08-21,20082242,Taylor,We had such a great time at the purple cave. It's close to lots of food and places to drink. There was fresh coffee every morning. It really made staying in Austin even better then it already is.  
968108,44066330,2015-08-23,19872507,Casey Leanne,"Great neighborhood and wonderful little studio to spend the night in. Very close to Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, and of course all the great restaurants and bars of South Lamar and South Congress. The Sun Room was so pleasant and the garden relaxing and quiet. Valentina was also very helpful and accommodating. "
968108,45000090,2015-08-30,9119615,Christopher,"The sun room was a truly unique experience. Obviously, the main draw to this spot is the the glass walls and ceilings in the bedroom. It was great falling asleep at night seeing the sky and trees, and in the mornings it helped us get up around 8-9 AM to start our day. Valentina was a great host and kept us hydrated with Vita Cocos in the fridge. She also provided a water filter, which is key when you're traveling and aren't sure what the tap is like. One of the unexpected perks of this place was the bathroom, as its very spacious with 3 showerheads (three!) and separate sinks for a couple to get ready simultaneously. Highly recommended, thank you for everything!"
968108,45540553,2015-09-03,42728142,Mark,"The place is a gem. Valentina was a charming host, and contacted me check-in to make sure everything was OK. She is an artist, and the charming furnishings and art show that she has a wonderful eye. The bed was very comfy. Don't forget to ask Valentina about the secret passage - what's behind it is quite something. And it is aptly named the Sun Room: the windowed ceiling lets the light pour in. I had a great stay."

With the moon overhead and the music still playing through our minds, this wonderful Austin trip was made entirely possible by Valentina and Herb. We were so grateful for their hospitality and lovely extra space being made open to us. 

This location was so central to so many experiences within walking distance we hardly even needed to drive! So many delicious restaurants, the Alamo drafthouse and many a swimming hole were well within a stone's throw from our cozy spot. 

Our room and secret entrance-found MASTERFUL bathroom was so unique and welcoming we didn't want to leave. Our hosts thought of everything for us to enjoy and the extra amenities were the cherry on top. So many excellent recommendations and great willingness to accommodate us was beyond what we expected and have experienced in the past.

Thank you so much Valentina and Herb for giving us this once in a lifetime experience!"
968108,46449608,2015-09-10,43496620,Jordan,"Nice hosts. Clean. Great location. Couldn't ask for more.

I had the unfortunate luck to arrive on a day the plumbing went out for the whole house. But the hosts were already on top of it and having it worked on. They kept me informed of the progress throughout the day, to when it was fixed. In the end, it didn't affect me as I was out and about the whole day."
968108,48932437,2015-09-29,43928885,Maria,Valentina was an excellent host. She made some great recommendations that really worked out well for us. This was our first trip to Austin and out first time using Airbnb and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. Thank you Valentina!
968108,49366795,2015-10-03,9078957,Keanna,"This review is for Valentina's other listing, the Studio on Barton Springs. The original reservation was for the Sun Room but Valentina and Herb (Airbnb hosts) were so accommodating that they arranged for us to stay at their Barton Springs location which is perfectly located for ACL, the reason for our visit. I'm unable to leave a review for that listing, but both the studio and the hosts are deserving of a glowing recommendation.

Our stay was perfect and a total breeze largely due to the wonderful hosts, their recommendations for food and activities around town, and the incredible location. The studio has everything you need for a comfortable stay and they even left us with beach towels to use at Barton Springs (which you can walk to). Valentina had two coconut waters in the refrigerators waiting for us, perfect for a warm, late summer arrival.

We had a small issue connecting to the wifi on our first day, but the hosts are very responsive and Herb had it resolved in no time at all. I only mention this to note how responsive Valentina and Herb are. It wasn't a problem for the rest of the stay. In fact, we didn't have any problems at all, like I said, a total breeze. I'll also note, that we were there for ACL and the coffee shop down the street was also struggling with their wifi..."
968108,49919413,2015-10-07,5387028,Jen,"Valentina and Herb were a delight! They were easy to coordinate arrival and departure with, and kept in touch throughout the week to make sure my stay was pleasant and enjoyable. The studio was replenished with fresh towels and amazing coffee in the French press every day. The location of the studio is terrific - beautiful tree, lined street that's close to everything in downtown Austin. Herb gave us some genius recommendations for lunch/dinner each day and was a treat to visit with. I'll be back!"
968108,50443473,2015-10-12,15693563,Les,Valentina was a great host and made us feel very welcome during our stay. The studio apartment was well located for the weekend we spent at ACL and it had all the amenities we needed for our stay. It was well presented and very clean and tidy but it is not a large space for two people. We really only used it for sleeping and breakfast and it was perfect for this. The bathroom was very nice and everything in the apartment worked including good Wifi connectivity and speed. The backyard area around the apartment is a real highlight for relaxing. I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for short duration stays and Valentina will treat you very well.
968108,51295649,2015-10-19,40896367,Alexis,"This little studio apartment is just delightful. It has everything you need for a weekend in Austin.  The location is perfect and so close to many of the Austin attractions.  The hosts are perfect - they welcomed us upon arrival, left coconut water, tea, and delicious coffee.   They even offered to drive us to the reception site of the wedding we were going to! I wish them every success in their future endeavors - what a lovely couple."
968108,51580105,2015-10-21,4967498,Ed,"Valentina and Herb were great hosts. They made us feel welcome from the moment of check in. Herb took us for a ride around the area of their home to point out his favorite restaurants, watering holes and attractions....made our stay in Austin so much easier and fun. Their home is in a great location for enjoying the attractions of Austin. The Sun Room apartment was uniquely fun with a beautiful view of the nights sky. May seem odd to comment glowingly about a bathroom but, the Sun Room bathroom is first class. Multiple shower heads in the large walk in shower, his and hers sinks......great stay."
968108,51854314,2015-10-24,41498004,Kate,"Upon arrival, Valentina showed us the sun room,  and then the Purple Cave, where we actually ended up staying because it offered a little more room. Everything was very clean,  the shower was large with multiple shower heads, and there was coffee and a french press provided. Herb gave us a great breakdown of things to do nearby,  and had excellent recommendations for nearby restaurants."
968108,52152227,2015-10-26,46453308,Mark,Everything was great about this little sun room.  The hosts were very nice and welcoming. The french press in the room was a nice touch.  It was a perfect stay for two people visiting for the weekend. I definitely recommend this AirBnB. 
968108,52594504,2015-10-31,24879531,Linda,"Valentina and Herb were great hosts!  Sweet little room where you can see the stars at night!  Unusual hidden, though large, bathroom.  Would stay there again if I needed to, though only alone as the space is ideal for just one guest.
"
968108,52847028,2015-11-02,41960352,Susan,"Valentina was the perfect host, she made us feel very welcomed.  Perfect location! The place was very quaint, clean and perfect for our 2 day visit.  Thank you, we will be back!"
2316074,10441165,2014-02-18,6186609,Emily,"I can't recommend this room and host more highly! Lorraine is warm and charming and fun, and her room is comfortable, clean, quiet. There is an adjoining bathroom with large mirror and shower, space to spread out your belongings, and books to peruse, should you desire. 

Her home would be great for anyone coming to Austin for a busy weekend/week. It is very accessible to downtown and yet far enough away from the traffic and noise of the city that you can really relax and have some peace of mind. Her dogs are sweet and eager to greet you as you walk in the door, but the set up of the house and room is such that you could have as much or as little contact with them as you desire. The backyard is a wonderful place to read and drink your morning coffee, and listen to the sounds of chickens. I would definitely stay here again, for a short or long stay. "
2316074,11024462,2014-03-17,9691768,Qing,"I feel lucky to find Lorraine on Airbnb. She is a lovely lady, very generous, hospitable, and thoughtful, can not be nicer to guests. Her friends: two funny puppies are even more friendly to guests, always begging you to play with them. Lorraine's house is located in a quiet neighbor and it's very convenient to go main attractions in Austin, especially downtown. I did not encounter any traffic problem while staying at Lorraine's. Overall, it's a great experience. Strongly recommend future visitors to Austin to choose Lorraine's and I believe you will have a wonderful experience. "
2316074,11104651,2014-03-20,6546578,Mark,"Lorraine has a beautiful home that is very comfortable and welcoming. Her neighborhood is quiet yet only minutes from the main roads.

We had a number of enjoyable conversations and her two friendly and lively dogs were more than willing to let you scratch behind their respective ears...

The bed is comfortable and the bedroom is conveniently connected to the bathroom.

Highly recommended!"
2316074,22683771,2014-11-11,19660870,Anubhav,I would be hard pressed to find a host as good as Lorraine anywhere else on AirBnB. Lorraine is an intelligent lady who has the unique ability of instantly becoming a friend. The house was quiet and aesthetically pleasing and the dogs were a joy to be around; always ready to play. 
2316074,28423303,2015-03-23,5533992,Christian,"Lorraine was absolutely fantastic.  The room was all great and tidy and the house was incredibly welcoming.  Lorraine was an absolutely fantastic host and incredibly helpful and knowledgeable with regards to local locations.  The dogs and chickens were adorable, and it was all around a perfect stay.  Many thanks to Lorraine!"
2316074,40009120,2015-07-27,35394917,Janette,"I had a great experience at Lorraine's house! Her son met me when I arrived to give me a key and a tour of the place -- which was a very clean, organized, adorable, funky, quirky, mid-century house in a charming, quiet and very walkable neighborhood. In the house, I especially loved the collection of art, travel mementos and books. And of course the chicken coop is a wonder to behold -- complete with a chandelier. 

I had my own room and my own bathroom, both very clean and well-kept. I felt welcome to share the other living spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen) and Lorraine invited me to feel free to have anything in the fridge.

The company was even better than the house. Lorraine is a great conversationalist and had I not been busy I would have loved to take her up on an offer for a trip to a local Indian restaurant. As for her animal friends, I found both Mamoul (not sure I spelled that right) and Marcel utterly charming. Like a little comedy duo always ready to entertain. 

Overall, I felt the whole time as though I was staying with friends or family. I would absolutely stay in Lorraine's home again and I highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin. Thank you, Lorraine!"
2316074,45505804,2015-09-03,37285474,Chas,Lorraine is a generous and charming and she really knows Austin.  The home is in a beautiful and convenient location.  
2316074,48648188,2015-09-27,44890690,Glenn,"I had a nice relating time, friendly and sharing host. Everything was clean and ready for me. Although I never took her up on breakfast she offered. Saw four deer in the neighbor yard one morning."
2494371,14004358,2014-06-09,6314863,Samantha,"Our stay with Rusty and Leslie was very comfortable. We felt right at home very quickly. It was a short drive into downtown Austin and they gave us excellent recommendations. We enjoyed talking to them, playing with their dogs and swimming in the pool. We would happily stay there again!"
2494371,35754496,2015-06-21,35657833,Farrin,"Leslie & Rusty were very welcoming! Their little loft was super cute, the beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. The bathroom was separate which I don't think I noticed in the posting. It was pet friendly we brought our dog & she was comfortable. Overall it was great weekend getaway!"
2494371,36579225,2015-06-29,29531917,Deb,We stayed an entire week and this apartment perfectly met our needs. Leslie and Rusty are great hosts-available but not intrusive. With the entrance to the backyard we felt like we had our own place. The loft is comfortable and the backyard is an oasis. The neighborhood seems quiet and safe and the location is very convenient to downtown and to major routes in/around Austin. You do have to cross the backyard to reach the bathroom. We would not hesitate to stay again.
2494371,42301853,2015-08-12,38517107,Samantha,As soan as my son and I arrived Rusty made us feel welcomed. He is very friendly. He told us about the area and good places to get food and to eat. The neighborhood was very quite and really nice. 
2494371,43197601,2015-08-17,14564697,Tom,This place was just perfect. Rusty and Leslie are extremely cool and fun to be around.  Their guest house had all we needed and you can't beat their backyard with the awesome pool. My puppy had a blast playing with Mia and Boone (beautiful dogs) and I really enjoyed getting to know Rusty and Leslie.  I hope to get a chance to stay here again and I highly recommend it.
2494371,43843743,2015-08-22,24867796,Allie,My first Air bnb experience was great! Highly recommend if you are in the Austin area. Hosts were very hospitable and loft was clean and welcoming.
2494371,44504082,2015-08-26,40122514,Matt,"Good clean place with a pool..and pool lights!  Rusty was out of town but Leslie was a sweetheart and very helpful.  I went full 'groundhog day', but she was patient and told me at least 10 times where to find good music."
2494371,46071772,2015-09-07,9807723,Glenn,"What a fantastic experience my daughter and I had this Labor Day Weekend at Rusty and Leslie's Loft Apt. The loft was cute, clean and comfortable (including super soft bedding). We felt at home instantly with added touches like a personalized welcome board in the apt.  and other niceties (i.e., complimentary drinks and snacks) . 

Equally amazing was a beautifully appointed private backyard featuring a pool with diving board and water slide. My daughter and I spent as much time in the pool as we did anything else during our trip.

Rusty and Leslie were super; friendly, accommodating and down to earth. 

I highly recommend a visit to anyone (excluding any dates when we want to return)!"
2494371,47888860,2015-09-21,44220561,Kaleb,"It was a wonderful (and my first) Airbnb experience. The loft was clean, tasteful, and had everything you needed to make it your home for the duration on your stay. The backyard setup with private access was great, and the pool with mood lighting didn't hurt. "
2494371,49349833,2015-10-03,25945839,Laurent,A great experience for this first visit to Austin.
2494371,50401808,2015-10-11,37725473,Shirleta,"My experience was great! This little loft is the cutest thing! Even with my husband being 6' 2"", he was able to maneuver up and down the ladder just fine. I like the fact that there is everything you'll need from coffee to seasonings!!  I also liked how I was given such detailed instructions via email...I'm just horrible with directions!! Lol. I'd definitely stay again!!"
2494371,52014591,2015-10-25,47050229,Donna,The loft was awesome! We really enjoyed our stay. The area was very nice. We would definitely stay here again!
8026649,45219820,2015-08-31,17568561,Seth,"Arnaud was very accommodating with making our last-minute reservation (1 night stay) and late check-out options. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip due to a sudden illness and we're not offered any form of refund, even for the cleaning fee, despite never making it to the apartment. A real bummer all the way around. I'm sure the place would have been great otherwise. Was in a good location in Austin."
8026649,46205687,2015-09-08,31072689,Hans,"Arnaud and Emilie were excellent hosts!! We really enjoyed our stay in Austin and staying in their apartment made it feel like home - almost as if were were Locals!  Arnaud was very communicative throughout the entire duration of the stay and the apartment was fabulous - clean, spacious and centrally located within Austin.  It even came with a pool which we thoroughly enjoyed and used each day as well as the gym. We highly recommend staying at Arnaud and Emilie's place - it'll make your stay in Austin that much better!"
8026649,47760096,2015-09-21,30139249,Mark,Very nice apartment and Arnaud and Emilie were very good on communication for my arrival.  Only stayed one night but the area around the apartment was really cool with lots of shops and restaurants.  Will use on my next trip back to Austin!
8026649,52068267,2015-10-26,7795460,Catherine,"Great apartment in a good location.  Armand and Emilie were lovely hosts who gave us great advice and were very welcoming.

5546085,27708235,2015-03-09,2122148,Ari,"J-Rob was a blast as a host!

Firstly, the room and the house are both very nice, exactly as they look in the photos.  The location is good, too ... a short walk to a market and some great sandwich and smoothie stands, as well as a long walk to the major 6th Street area.

As for J-Rob and the guys, they've got great energy and they're a ton of fun.  I had a blast hanging out with them both nights of my stay: bring some youthful energy and a willingness to have some new experiences, and you'll have a great time here!

HIGHLY recommend!"
5546085,28144227,2015-03-18,5288529,Jamie,"J-Rob was the perfect host. Great large room with lovely on suite bathroom. Local tips and even gave me a lift downtown when he could, which was 5 min drive. No brainer place to stay. "
5546085,28195970,2015-03-19,1440207,Lena,J-Rob was very accommodating and welcoming. Room was just like pictures. Neighborhood is a short drive from downtown. Definitely would recommend to a friend.
5546085,28198180,2015-03-19,12838371,Josh,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5546085,28761577,2015-03-29,13711590,Kent,Clean room and pictures were accurate. Location in east Austin is very trendy and cheap (although not the cleanest) for people not familiar with the area. I didn't get to meet J-Rob but he was helpful in getting us setup. Got to talk with one of his roommates who was friendly and helpful. There was one incident late at night that got to be pretty loud but my other friend slept through it. Other night was fine.
5546085,29130112,2015-04-04,16582535,Howard,A most excellent stay! The accommodations were perfect and John was a generous and helpful host. The visit could not have been nicer. 
5546085,31783609,2015-05-10,24083171,Vanessa,"J-Rob and his place were great.  Everything was clear and directions were easy to follow.  He was awesome with communication and helpful with any questions I had.  The room was comfy, private and clean.  The place is in a quiet neighbourhood but close to downtown.  Perfect combination.  I would definitly recommend to anyone travelling through Austin.  
I didn't get a chance to meet him or the roommates, sadly.  Maybe next time!  "
5546085,49426181,2015-10-04,28303559,Philip,Great place in an amazing location. John was very helpful and open for questions when needed. The room was cozy and the bed phenomenal. Highly recommended if you're visiting austin.
5546085,50280661,2015-10-11,15653292,Jamie,Spacious room. Great location. A host with Southern hospitality. A+
5546085,51252460,2015-10-18,31084950,Kristopher,The place is an easy cab/uber ride away and has its own cultural feel in the area if you don't feel like going into downtown. John and his roommates were very respectable and it was nice to have a private bathroom. The place was clean. John was very flexible last minute.
6876610,35627188,2015-06-20,2393015,Cathy,"Al's place was fantastic and super clean. He really helped us out with a last minute reservation and gave us a warm welcome. The bed was comfy, great shower, and the location was convenient to everything. The boardwalk behind the building runs along the river and you can watch the bats come out from under Congress bridge. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Al's place to anyone.
"
6876610,36347238,2015-06-27,27922742,Benji,"Al was a lifesaver when our hotel reservation was overbooked. His place is awesome, super convenient to downtown (~$9 uber), with nice conveniences like a food truck area nearby. He was very welcoming and gave us a good rundown of the amenities his area had to offer. We definitely ended up having a nice, relaxing vacation, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there next time I'm in town."
6876610,36926323,2015-07-02,25610687,Jonathan,"Al was very accommodating when our check in time was delayed several hours, and filled us in on nearby areas of interest.  His apartment was spacious, adequately furnished, and nicer than what we had thought from looking at the pictures of the inside.  The apartment has access to a great walking path along Lady Bird Lake, and if we had had more time, we probably would have rented paddleboards for $15/hr at the lakefront rental place just east of the apartments.  There was no extra charge for a parking spot in the parking garage, and we used Uber to get to the convention center downtown.  If we're back in Austin, we would definitely stay here again!"
6876610,37920871,2015-07-11,25617125,Mark,Great location and reasonable rate. Look forward to my next visit. 
6876610,38473128,2015-07-15,28565189,Jennifer,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6876610,39893749,2015-07-26,39349710,Jennifer,"The location was great, and Al was friendly and helpful. The condo was very large with a patio, which was nice because I like to smoke cigars. I felt safe there because there was a gated entry with remote access. Parking was easy in the garage, and there was an elevator which was very nice. Great experience :)"
6876610,40836851,2015-08-02,39444009,Needa,Al was a great host! He was very welcoming and helpful when we were planning sites to view in Austin. The apartment was clean and plenty of room for four people. It was a great experience!
6876610,41976131,2015-08-10,7941455,Jesse,"It's a great location-close to the board walk, some paddle boarding, and an easy drive anywhere you want to go. It's also a large place for the price you're paying. Pretty bare bones in the furniture department, but I didn't mind that. Look out for the parking. Bit of a maze until you get used to it."
6876610,43720079,2015-08-21,1705215,Elizabeth,"If you like to sleep under the glare of the 7 Eleven gas station signs and the street light which is at window height on the 4th floor this place is great!  The nearby intersection is noisy.  The view of the river is not the view from the apt.  The apartment is only 1- 3 miles away from shopping, restaurants and parks.  Al was very nice and always communicated quickly with me."
6876610,44240494,2015-08-24,41737815,Patrick,"Al was very nice and accommodating. His place is in an excellent location on the lake and close to all of the major attractions in Austin. The apartment was nice, but could have been a little cleaner. However, it was not an unpleasant experience at all. Overall had a good stay."
6876610,46755718,2015-09-13,41471078,Samantha,"My Experience with Al, Overall was simple. 
He was very accommodating to our short stay .  The boyfriend and I spend 1 night for our 25th bdays, and couldn't have been happier. The location is really prime. You're right on the water!"
6876610,47136890,2015-09-15,44137051,Peter,"Surprised my boyfriend with a night near downtown with this place. Apartment was centrally located and near most anything downtown. View isn't spectacular but it is on the fourth floor, noise was a little annoying. The apartment was somewhat barren and lacking furniture although it was clean and the necessities were there. Overall a nice stay just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. "
6876610,48733504,2015-09-28,42033593,Tony,"Clean, functional and a great location. Al is cool and easy to work with. I would do it again. "
6876610,49167275,2015-10-01,2416048,Heather,"I arrived at Al's after a four day drive cross country from Boston. I was exhausted and praying it wouldn't be a dump in a bad neighborhood. I was thrilled to find that his place was centrally located, very clean and welcoming. Other reviewers complained about the noise here but these folks must have never lived in a city environment. Al's apartment does have a hum of traffic noise in the background (because he's in a happening neighborhood), but it's very unobtrusive and you can easily tune it out. 

The apartment itself is a guest apartment - Al doesn't actually live in it. So it has more of a feeling of a hotel, which was fine with me. 

There are floor to ceiling windows, which have a beautiful view of one slice of south Austin city life. The apartment is in a large building which is located right next to a beautiful river walk. You can walk to get coffee, then walk along the water while drinking it. Just beautiful. I would definitely stay here again.

Thanks to Al for all the hospitality!"
6876610,49594499,2015-10-05,17200215,Austin,"Great place, great location, and Al was awesome. Would definitely stay again "
6876610,50823581,2015-10-14,33720423,Janys,"Great apartment! This was our favourite air BnB so far! Al was very accomodating, and if you are unfamiliar with the area at all, I would highly recommend picking Al's brain about the best local spots. We did everything he told us about re food, bars and swimming holes and he knocked every suggestion out of the park! If we ever return to Austin we will lock in Al's apartment for a week or more. The place itself was super clean, very comfy bed and conveniently located. 10/10"
7693350,46753094,2015-09-13,40684740,Traci,The house was amazing - very clean & inviting. The beds were cozy & comfortable & AJ and Meaghan were always available if we had any questions. The neighborhood was very central to downtown Austin. We didn't feel like we were stuck in traffic trying to get around town.

8401322,49677011,2015-10-05,34594379,Collin,Great place! Exactly what we needed it to be. Amy and her husband were amazing hosts and so welcoming. The location was perfect! 
8401322,50503181,2015-10-12,8293277,Colin,"The listing was great and makes for a fun stay. You can't ask for a better location. Close to SoCo and downtown and very quiet at night. Amy was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. 
We would definitely stay there again."
8401322,51042227,2015-10-17,17202921,Cyle,"Our experience in Bambi was Disney story worthy. Amy texted on the morning of arrival and personally greeted upon arrival, which made us feel welcome. The trailer was charming and clean, as expected. The trailer information was detailed and thorough. The location was great; it was close enough to downtown to ride bikes, which were provided and part of the fun we had. Amy and Donny were available by phone for the few times we had questions. "
8401322,51561852,2015-10-21,4141925,Doug,This was a very nice place to stay. Cozy and in a very nice neighborhood. Great place to stay to see the best of Austin
8401322,51652772,2015-10-22,46171244,Henry,"Amy and the air stream made for a absolutely great stay. We just stopped in for one night and had a great time staying in the cozy and comfortable airstream. Everything was very clean, the amenities were great and we couldn't ask for a more hospitable host. The neighborhood was great with hip boutique shops and good food. "
8401322,52495765,2015-10-30,14719860,Maureen,"Loved staying in Amy's Airstream.  it was delightfully made up and while there wasn't a coffee maker, she had a jar of cold brewed coffee in the frig, which happens to be my favorite.  The bed was very comfortable.  The neighborhood is perfect as it is serene, quiet & tree lined and a 5 minute walk to South Congress & good food & shops.  The airstream was even cozy in the crazy thunderstorm Austin experienced the exact night I stayed there!  Tx to Amy & Donny!"
8401322,52974740,2015-11-03,31388845,Colette,"We had such an amazing stay at Amy's Airstream. Due to extreme weather conditions, we were stranded in Dallas and did not arrive until a day later than planned. Amy was so sweet and helpful throughout the travel chaos, and once we arrived at her place it was such a relief to find the Airstream perfectly clean, cozy, and equipped with whatever we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful but also in close proximity to the lively areas we wanted to explore. Highly recommend this spot- thanks so much Amy and Donny !"
4771777,25559583,2015-01-19,8660334,Andrew & Hope,"The home was very clean and well stocked.  I'm not sure the pictures even capture the interesting architecture and just how large the downstairs bedroom really is.  The neighborhood was quiet and friendly but so close to downtown, we felt like everything was right around the corner.  We really enjoyed our stay, very comfortable for 6 people."
4771777,27105440,2015-02-25,1114934,Melanie,"There was only 6 of us and this apt was more than enough space! It's close by to all foodies spots on S. Congress and 1st street, and an uber ride away from rainey & 6th street. Jay provided us with all the check-in instructions, so arriving was a breeze. I even texted him to let him know and he responded right away!"
4771777,28298584,2015-03-22,22891205,Anshul,We had an amazing experience staying at the Double View. The place is absolutely fabulous and in a beautiful area. Jay made us feel very welcome and at home. We would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.
4771777,36580561,2015-06-29,35336643,Mark,"Very cool home with two nice patios and great location. Walking distance to Barton Springs. Jay was quick to respond to a maintenance issue. Overall, nice home and great host."
4771777,52161704,2015-10-26,46803056,Nahum,"The double view was an exceptional rental. Great, central location with 2 private balconies. Very spacious, outstanding layout and an overall fantastic experience! We definitely plan to stay there again!"
2366046,10911109,2014-03-12,12618094,Nisha,Stacia is a very warm and accommodating host! Had a great stay at her house.
2366046,28118699,2015-03-18,25141091,Kaela,"I really enjoyed my stay at Stacia's home. I was quite busy and never actually met her during my stay but the apartment was very comfortable, just as described. The guest room is comfortable and was very clean - along with the bathroom. Also not far from downtown and the neighborhood is nice. I would stay here again!"
2366046,28250918,2015-03-21,5993895,Sally,Wonderfully satisfying light-filled house. Every provision made for comfort. Great bed and great pillows. Stacia is a most thoughtful host. We would choose to stay with her every time we are in Austin.
2366046,28473660,2015-03-24,10963633,Elizabeth,Stacia was very welcoming upon my arrival. Her home is as pictured and quite lovely. Her two cats weren't a bother at all. I liked the simplicity of the room and delicate tones.  Not far from downtown Austin. About a 10 min drive. 
2366046,31991261,2015-05-12,4481385,Aly & River,"Stacia was kind and accommodating. We didn't see much of her, but she made sure we had everything we needed. Everything was as described."
2366046,40530000,2015-07-31,23384943,Lena,"I've loved staying at Stacia's place. Her home is beautifully decorated, and she has been very friendly as I've settled in. With a nice bathroom and kitchen, and a quiet residential street, this is a very sweet place to stay. The bedroom is so peaceful and calming. Stacia's been very kind as I've looking for housing, making me feel welcome in my temporary home."
2406039,10908021,2014-03-12,5174383,Wale & Myriam,"Carrie and her big dog are super nice & friendly ! Room was nice. And Carrie made sure I was super confortable.
"
2406039,10967350,2014-03-15,6967362,Caroline,Carrie was fabulous. Seriously the most comfortable bed around. I was working non-stop so I didn't get to see her much but it was a wonderful experience!
2406039,11025878,2014-03-17,12704267,Thomas,Carrie was a great host. We went for SXSW weekend and her place was really cool the room definitely had enough privacy and comfort and Carrie was very accommodating. We walked to downtown the first day which took about 30 minutes but there is also a bus stop which takes you right there and only costs $1 which we took the second day. Would recommend to others
2406039,25255171,2015-01-10,24679928,Sean,"Carrie was really nice and welcoming, and her dog was excited to meet us as well. The room was just as described, and we loved the super comfortable bed. "
2406039,25830909,2015-01-26,26490234,Dan,"Carrie was the most epic host I could've asked for.  This was my first experience with AirBNB and I'm totally sold.  Not only was her place cozy and nice, but she helped me get oriented in Austin and even invited me out with some of her friends.  

My experience in Austin was enriched by my decision to choose Carrie as a host.  If I would've gone to stay at a hotel it wouldn't have been nearly as fun or efficient.  

Carrie is more like a friend than a host and you will not be disappointed if you choose to stay with her.  Just make sure you like dogs!"
2406039,26173879,2015-02-05,706611,Elizabeth,"Carrie made me feel very welcome on a short notice. The apartment was as described. I had use of two bathrooms with a very nice shower. The apartment is two miles away from downtown with a nice juice bar down the street. 
Carrie and her friends were very helpful suggesting cool hangouts and shops around town. Jazz clubs were great."
2406039,26652721,2015-02-16,4256424,Aniruddha,"We had a nice comfortable stay in Carrie's house. Carrie was a wonderful host. We had several changes to our estimated time of arrival due to flight delays, and Carrie was very accommodating in this regard. Her dog Artie might seem a little bit intimidating at first glance, but he is very friendly and easy to get along with."
2406039,27566340,2015-03-07,28776969,Luke,This was my first time to try Airbnb and was pleasantly surprised with the experience. Carrie was a great host and made me feel right at home. She invited me to dinner with her friends and was very welcoming. She told me the best ways to get around Austin and was very helpful as it was my first time in The city. I have nothing but good things to say about my stay.
2406039,27762809,2015-03-11,26819321,Cassandra,"Carrie was a wonderful host. From the moment she welcomed me to Austin to the moment I left Austin Carrie was friendly, energetic, fun, kind, funny and seriously the list can go on for days. The house was clean, the bed was comfortable and the location was great. She has a very entertaining dog, he is adorable and fun, just like Carrie! I highly recommend if you are going to Austin that you stay here and if you don't I'm sorry but you probably are missing out. "
2406039,28126510,2015-03-18,449461,Stewart,"Carrie was great! Super on point in all regards, has an amazing dog that is just as cool and I was lucky to have met some of her friends who rock as well! 5 stars hands down!!!"
2406039,28752759,2015-03-29,29676582,Henry,This was my first airbnb experience and my first time in Austin and I am so glad that I chose to stay with Carrie. I didn't know anyone or anything about the city and Carrie showed me the ropes and introduced me to her friends. She included me everywhere she went and was always extremely friendly and kind. Her dog is a giant teddy bear who is equally as big hearted. The house is the perfect distance from the center of downtown and the airport. I could not have asked for a better visit or host. You'd be crazy to pass this up. 
2406039,29223852,2015-04-05,3016829,Rob,"This AirBnB provided everything I could possibly have needed plus a few unexpected luxuries- a quiet place to sleep at night and work during the day, a well-stocked kitchen, laundry machine, and a friendly, low-key dog to remind me not to take my telecommuter job *too* seriously. Carrie provided great tips for exploring the surrounding neighborhood, a quirky, welcome refuge from better-known touristy parts of town but still offering excellent food trucks, neighborhood bars, and my latest favorite Austin music club, The White Horse. Nearby biking and walking routes, both along the riverfront and towards Patterson Park along Pleasant Valley, are amongst the best in town."
2406039,29373749,2015-04-06,30567220,Alexander,The hostess made us feel very welcome. She let us use pretty much everything we needed from her house including the kitchen. She was very friendly and helpful. 
2406039,29573112,2015-04-09,9521160,Maev,I had a great time staying at Carrie's place. The house is great and room comfortable. Thank you Carrie! 
2406039,29798441,2015-04-12,9541492,Jonathan Brent,"Carrie was an amazing host.  She knows music, and offered me a glass of wine on my arrival.  She has a really nice dog who makes funny faces.  I thoroughly enjoyed staying with her and would recommend it highly to anyone! Very friendly host! "
2406039,29893494,2015-04-13,30869436,Andra,Carrie is an amazing host! She is incredibly responsive and has made my first experience with Airbnb extremely wonderful. I will definetly make plans to stay with Carrie the next time I visit Austin! 
2406039,30329975,2015-04-20,12038293,Chris,Exactly the location I was looking for.  Host was very flexible.  My daughter and I really enjoyed her house and her lovely puppy.  Will totally stay there the next time I come to town.
2406039,30648643,2015-04-25,9521160,Maev,Very grateful Carried let me stay at her place at the end of an amazing trip. A wonderful house and host. It was an absolute pleasure to meet her friends and am grateful for all her advice and support. See you again soon Austin! 
2406039,30833212,2015-04-27,26551540,Ashley,Cute place in a nice neighborhood! Great if you want to spend time by the river.
2406039,31496931,2015-05-05,15793613,Marisa,"My friend and I stayed here for a couple of nights so I could check out Austin and all of its charms. Carrie was super sweet and very welcoming and her dog, Arthur, was an adorable bull-in-a-china-shop sort who made us feel very loved (although if you're not super comfortable with dogs he may be a bit much for you). Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, although the room was much sparer than the pics in the ad showed and the bed was pretty uncomfortable. Great place if you're looking for basic accommodations with charming folks. "
2406039,31776848,2015-05-10,9743143,Michael,"Carrie was great -- and quick -- with communication. She was super accommodating for my mid-day arrival, and easy to coordinate. The place was perfect, just a quick Uber to / from downtown. Arthur the dog is awesome. Would stay again for sure!"
2406039,33380957,2015-05-27,9799746,Russell,"Carrie was waiting for me when I arrived, no dramas. Communication beforehand was swift and encouraging. I stayed two weeks or thereabouts and had a lot of fun. It is a quiet neighbourhood but not too far from downtown by car - you could walk it it you really wanted. In any case there a good fish restaurant and an excellent TexMex nearby. The bed was super comfortable and Arty the dog is great fun. But the best thing about staying with Carrie is Carrie. She is just a good person, and lots of fun. She's also a great cook. I made a friend here. You can't go wrong here."
2406039,34584277,2015-06-09,9753091,Gladys,Great location and room. Easy to contact Carrie. And cute dogs.
2406039,34611045,2015-06-09,34834545,Emily,Carrie was very welcoming and gave us suggestions for our weekend in Austin! Appreciated having her open her home to us :) 
2406039,35156860,2015-06-15,34870040,Harry,"Lovely home and friendly place to be. The hostess was welcoming, accommodating, and inviting. The home description describes a ""large dog"" that is really more like a huge cupcake named ""Artie"" that just wants to be a friend."
2406039,36075433,2015-06-24,10459959,Subhendu,Carrie thank you for the beer. The place is close to everything. I will stay at her place again and Arthur is a good pet :)
2406039,36249024,2015-06-26,12274945,Julia,"Carrie helped us out a lot with last minute place to stay. She responded immediately to my request and was quick and clear with communication. The experience was mostly positive - Carrie had clean towels for us to use, water for us to drink, let us do laundry and generously offered food and drinks. Her dog is sweet and pretty mellow, not an issue at all. The location is ideal- very central and easy to get to fun areas of the city, but feels like a nice quiet neighborhood. 

The only drawbacks were: 1.) The room we stayed in was not the one pictured in her listing. It was a super comfortable bed and a nice room in general, but it would have been better if she had let us know before completing the booking that it was a different room than what we were expecting. Also photos of the house are dated and it looks a bit different now. 2.) In the mornings we were woken up by general activity in the house - it would be nice to remember your guests don't have to go to work too! 3.) There were some dog hairs on the blanket on the bed - it seemed clean but they had clung to the fiber of the blanket. Not a huge deal for us but could be bad for someone with an allergy. This will most likely not be an issue for others because we slept in the bed that the dog usually sleeps in, in a different room. 

Overall we had a nice stay, just a few small improvements would make it great. "
2406039,36489810,2015-06-28,36718403,Mike,"Listing very accurately described. Carrie was fantastic and very accommodating, made me feel comfortable staying in another persons home. Thanks Carrie!"
2406039,36751571,2015-06-30,3839541,Julie,"Carrie was so incredibly friendly and welcoming for my partner and I. The house was very clean and inviting, and her dog was super cute!! The neighborhood was a treat as well!"
2406039,37396581,2015-07-06,36576863,Carson,"We really enjoyed staying at Carrie's place, it felt just like staying at a friend's house. Her roommate was very laid back and made us feel right at home. The room was perfectly described and very private at the back of the house with basically a private bathroom. The location was perfect for getting anywhere around town and was just a quick Uber ride to downtown. I would definitely recommend the place for anyone looking for a weekend in Austin."
2406039,38229761,2015-07-13,37664250,Nicole,"Staying at Carrie's was a great first AirBNB experience. My best friend and I weren't at the house much since we were exploring all day and night but it was a great place to lay our head down. Our own bathroom(which was their laundry room as well) was big and perfect for the two of us. Carrie's big pup Artie was a cutie, very hyper though!  OH and her Tempur-Pedic bed was awesome!"
2406039,38970013,2015-07-19,38721047,Matthew,We enjoyed staying with Carrie. She was very nice and welcoming. The bed was very comfortable and we felt at home. She gave advice on places to eat and see. Her friends and dog Arthur were very cool too. Would stay there again for sure.
2406039,40066730,2015-07-27,39524524,Brett,"Carrie was away but her friend Jenna was there to greet us when we arrived. Carrie was quick and responsive during the booking process, and very accommodating. When we arrived, Jenna was just as nice and got us all set up. We had a great time in Austin, and we were less than 10 minutes from 6th street, and about 40 minutes from a few of the watering holes we visited. The neighborhood was nice and we couldn't have asked for a better/cheaper option for staying in Austin. The bed was comfy and Carrie's dog was awesome! Overall great experience!"
2406039,40387222,2015-07-30,19929957,Craig,Carrie's roommate Jena was very friendly.  Although we arrived late Jenna was helpful in getting us situated.  The house is indeed cozy with a private back room and shower; lives up to its description.  Found a nice juice bar down the street the next day and found the location very easy for getting around Austin. Would definitely recommend this place to a friend. 
2406039,41171616,2015-08-04,40076883,Phillip,Very welcoming and cozy part of Austin. The house was everything and more. Perfect amenities as well as a great location for checking out the night life. I highly recommend staying with Carrie. 
2406039,41667827,2015-08-08,23807289,Katharine,We only stayed for one night but Carrie's place was great! Legitimately the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on in my life. Carrie wasn't there but her roommate Jena was wonderful - she had lots of suggestions of things to do and see just for the one night we were in Austin. Also Arthur (Carrie's dog) was adorable!
2406039,42225766,2015-08-11,38719722,Paul,"Carrie's flat mate Jena & her partner George were really lovely hosts, who made me feel very much at home, thanks guys, was a great home base for me! "
2406039,42363594,2015-08-12,40195708,Madeline,"This unit was clean as a pin and located in a quiet residential area. We were able to get to the airport, downtown and the nightlife on Rainy St. by taking the bus. Although we didn't get to meet Carrie, her roommate Jena was super accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. The listing came with a very large, friendly dog, and I would have been more comfortable with his owner there, but if you love dogs, you will love Artie."
2406039,42638654,2015-08-14,252485,Arijit,"It was quite a last minute request but was handled in the best way possible. Carrie was traveling but her flatmate Jena ensured room's prepared and fortunately since there was no guest the previous night I could check in early. The house is clean in a nice and quiet neighbourhood about a 10 min cab ride from downtown. There's Arthur, a nice and big Rottweiler to welcome you too. He is amazing, but of course if you are OK to dogs."
2406039,43193853,2015-08-17,40885391,Andrew,"The room was lovely, nice and cool and the bed was great (slept 10hrs straight). Carrie is a great host, I had a fantastic experience in Austin and Carrie was a big part of making that happen. I would stay here again when visiting Austin and be more than happy to recommend Carrie it to others."
2406039,44587462,2015-08-27,17981669,Brittany,"Carrie was an amazing host! She made sure everything about my stay was absolutely perfect, and pointed me to the right places to check out around town. Her dog Arthur was a big sweetheart! Convenient location with a quick 5-10 minute ride downtown. The bed was SO comfortable and the room was nice and private. Will definitely stay here again! "
2406039,44835783,2015-08-29,6096160,Reine,I only stayed one night and this place was perfect (the bed was really comfortable). The room was nice and clean--the house was situated on a quiet residential street. Carrie was a great host!! She was helpful and easygoing. Her dog is a super sweet.  I'd totally stay here again! Launderette is an amazing restaurant that is only a short walk away.
2406039,45182937,2015-08-31,30418934,Rachel,"Carrie was awesome - the room was perfect for the night I spent in awesome. She made sure that I felt welcome, gave some advice and introduced me to the other guests in the house. I'd highly recommend Carrie's home and stay again :) "
2406039,48797790,2015-09-28,38087611,Amparo,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin. Carrie made our stay very enjoyable. She made great restaurant reccomendations. She made feel like we were at home. By the time we left we made a very good friend. You must be a dog lover to enjoy your stay as she has a dog ,Arthur She did give us plenty of warning.  Overall our experience was amazing and we cannot wait to come back."
2406039,49534564,2015-10-04,45012417,Rachel,Carrie is an incredibly gracious host with an extremely welcoming and relaxing home. Her quiet neighborhood is definitely worth walking around and exploring! 
2406039,49637939,2015-10-05,37674585,Vivian,"This was my first Airbnb experience and Carrie was an awesome host! She was very flexible in accommodating our check-in time when we arrived later than we had agreed to due to traffic. We were welcomed by Arthur, her pooch, and he was very friendly. Upon arrival, Carrie showed us around the house and everything in the listing was accurate. Clean room and extra comfy bed. The location was great also! I'd recommend anyone to stay here when visiting Austin. "
2406039,50256742,2015-10-10,27974090,Annie,Amazingly comfy place! Very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Quick cab downtown and also a few cool spots closer by. Carrie was easy to communicate with even while I was on the road and in and out of service. Definitely recommend staying
2406039,50878246,2015-10-15,20753062,Valérie,"Very quiet neighbourhood, and quiet room. And not too far from the busy downtown. The bed is comfortable, Carrie is very easy and welcoming. I did not interacted much with her because of different timing, but you do feel home and safe. Lovely dog too!
I recommend the place for somebody who wants to have the urban experience of Austin but who likes calm and nature (there are tons of different birds early morning if you seat under the porch!)."
2406039,50990747,2015-10-16,46324316,Tina,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and I was excited by all the really cool places to choose from. I picked Carrie b/c she was close to where I was headed next morning and b/c of her pup, Artie. First off, Artie is awesome! Second, Carrie was too! Super nice and easy-going. The room was perfect---most comfortable bed! Wish I had gotten more time to lounge in it! Bath across the hall was perfect for me. I did not sleep well but it was b/c I was afraid I wouldn't wake up at  the hour I had to get up. There was a box fan for me to use b/c her ceiling fan was not working, but I have to have the white-noise so it was perfect for me. Looked like a fun neighborhood but I was there for a conference w/o time to explore.   Hope to visit again!"
2406039,51102702,2015-10-17,46614190,David,"This was my first Air B 'n B experience and will probably be one of my best ever.  Carrie is so, so awesome.  I got to hang out with her and her awesome friends, while  we all laughed over impeccably superb wine. Her dog Arthur is also the coolest dog ever, you'll love him to death. To top it all off I got to sleep in the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in (a TempurPedic) in an absolutely drop dead gorgeous room that rivals anything that you'd see in a hotel in downtown.  This is THE Air B 'n B  to stay in Austin. Look no further :-)"
2406039,51150222,2015-10-18,18684914,Richard,"Everything worked out, the place was clean and comfortable, overall great experience!"
2406039,51856947,2015-10-24,9119780,Sarah,"Carrie was a great host. She met me at the house even though I was running late. Told me where to go out and eat.( right around the corner is a food truck park!) I felt safe and welcomed. Thanx Carrie!!!
The place is just like the pictures. 
Carrie was right there with the texts and phone calls. "
2406039,52228245,2015-10-27,43694482,Pawan,"It's was an Awesome experience , Carrie is a great host . can't wait to go back again ."
2406039,52769418,2015-11-01,2502401,Isabel,"Carrie was super nice, welcoming, and very accommodating.
Her pup is a gentle giant and super cute. 
"
2406039,52878352,2015-11-02,45952417,Brian,Awesome location close to downtown. Carrie was easy to coordinate with and super helpful with my uncertain schedule. I felt right at home. I'll definitely consider her place again on my next trip to Austin!
2406039,53100780,2015-11-04,15879205,James,"Carrie was a wonderful host. I definitively recommend staying with her. The room was clean and organized, and her dog Arthur is AWESOME!!! "
2406039,53163008,2015-11-05,47543784,Eric,I had a great stay! The place was very clean and the room was cozy! Carrie was a wonderful host. I highly recommend you stay here.
248515,999753,2012-03-14,345331,Antón,Everything was great ! The house is really nice and well located. Everything super clean. I would definitely go back :)
248515,3787145,2013-03-15,4207973,Steve,Nice place to stay. It is a simple house but is has everything you need. Most importantly for SXSW is that you can walk to town from there- as taxis are non-existent. Also an interesting neighbourhood.
248515,3815051,2013-03-18,4740531,Sue,"Had a wonderful time in Austin.  Caitlin's house was fantastic and a great location to get around East Austin and Downtown Austin.  Having coffee in the AM on the back deck was one of the highlights and the Mexican restaurant a few blocks up that was open 24 hours was a great place to grab a quick, tasty and inexpensive meal.  The neighborhood was quiet and super nice.  Would recommend Caitlin's house to anyone looking to have a very positive experience."
248515,4445414,2013-05-06,3387574,Emma,"Four friends and I stayed at Caitlin's while visiting Austin for the weekend (a college reunion of sorts). Her bungalow was the perfect home base -- clean, pretty, colorful, full of character. Caitlin was a kind, generous and easy to work with. Being in the East Austin neighborhood made us feel local and creative, worlds better than a over-polished hotel. We couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay. Whole-heartedly recommended for those who want a real and playful stay in Austin."
248515,7810091,2013-10-04,5878405,Sara-Maude,"My stay at Caitlin's place was really great. She has a sweet sweet house, in a really calm neighbourhood. Also, the house is near the Colorado River/Lady Bird Lake (5 mins walk)- so it's perfect if you want to do some kayak/paddleboard- and 20 mins walk from downtown. Also, there is a bus, the 17, that runs really often and take you straight in front of the Texas State Capitole, the Congress St. and the Museum of Fine Arts. If you have a car, you'll easily find a place to park on the street.
Also, the East Austin is amazing: it's not touristic at all, you have plenty different bars around the house, especially on 5th,6th and 7th St . Also, the restaurants in this area are soooo good! It's the hispanic part of Austin, so if you like tacos & tamales, you'll be more than happy!
I haven't met Caitlin since she was in Europe, but we constantly kept in touch and she was really available. Also, she was comprehensive, sweet, kind, helpful and open-minded. 
"
248515,8087930,2013-10-15,4292363,Adrian,"Caitlin's place was awesome and exactly what we needed for our festival weekend. I stayed there with 3 friends and it was comfortable for all of us. Caitlin was out of the country but the instructions she left were easy to follow and we never had any problems. Walking distance from Rainey and 6th Streets, not to mention some great riverside running trails and Mexican food spots. We'd definitely stay there again next time we're in town!"
248515,10998169,2014-03-17,2098,Andrew,Had a great stay at Caitlin's place.
248515,11068951,2014-03-18,275814,Frank,Great space with convenient access model for getting in (no key needed). Would stay there again

6045851,43860923,2015-08-22,8845541,Francisco & Mila,"I spent an entire week at the apartment and had a great time. It was very clean and Wendy was very helpful in any possible way. The apartment is lovely and although I have stayed alone, it can fit up to four people confortably. I did not use the pool, but it was clean and very inviting. Lastly, it is walking distance from UT, so if you need to be there, that's the place!"
6045851,46220836,2015-09-08,10880184,Nicole,"Was in Austin for 4 nights as a mini-vacation, catching up with friends and just not being in Dallas. Wendy was very easy to get in touch with. The space is quiet, clean, and perfect for stays of any length - I was easily able to get work done and relax. I'd happily stay here again."
6045851,47760933,2015-09-21,39869379,Yvonne,Cute place. Short walk to campus. 
6045851,48433235,2015-09-26,17310885,Lauren,"I truly enjoyed staying here! Wendy had everything ready, the apartment had plenty of space and everything you may need, and the location was perfect! It was very convenient to UT and all the major sights to see in Austin.  I would definitely recommend this location to anyone heading to Austin and I would absolutely stay again in the future!"

I visited Austin to attend a conference at UT. The host was extremely welcoming and sweet and catered to every question I had with a smile. I would highly recommend this listing."
6045851,49669114,2015-10-05,44030363,Veronica,"Cute, cozy apartment. Awesome amenities and a great location. I was very pleased with our stay and the hostess was incredibly attentive and available. 

Thank you!"
6045851,50089191,2015-10-09,41292279,Jena,We loved our stay at Wendy's! It was a great location to get to UT and wander about. Her place felt super comfortable and was perfect for two people but could fit a third I'm sure. She was also very helpful with all communication. Would absolutely stay here again. 
6045851,52043843,2015-10-26,19056829,Sung,This is a great place to stay in Austin. Wendy had everything ready at the place and it is clean and spacious. The apartment is in great location with easy access to freeway.
8552926,51359751,2015-10-19,3700311,Ryan,Hannah was a fantastic host and the property was absolutely great! The house was very clean and welcoming and the backyard was a perfect place to visit with friends. Hannah was quick to respond and delivered as promised. Zero complaints. All good. We'll be back for sure!
8552926,51500931,2015-10-20,15149538,Matias,We had a great time.  Hannah was an awesome host and her place is very confortable and clean.  Awesome backyard !
8552926,51964779,2015-10-25,3521310,Adam,"Thanks so much to Hannah for making our stay on the eastside so amazing. Communication was great. The place was excellent, and it is near a lot of great food, drink, and activity on the east side. Hannah gave us many an excellent recommendation - and while we couldn't check everything out in the time we had - we did go to most and it really made the trip (along with coming home to a great space at the end of the day). Thanks again. Highly recommended!"
7939022,46955428,2015-09-14,20847802,Steve,"We stayed at East Austin Gem for a girls getaway weekend and the condo was perfect for our group! Just minutes from downtown, it is located super close to great restaurants, food trucks, bars and nightlife. Everything we needed was either in walking distance or a quick Uber ride away and the neighborhood was safe and active, even at night. There were 6 of us staying together, and we had plenty of space!  We all flew in from different places and it was easy for us to all meet up at the condo for a much-needed reunion.  The condo is a very open concept and the beds and couches are very comfortable.  We all slept great, but keep in mind that because it is so open it might be hard to go to bed if people were talking loud downstairs. We all stayed up together so it wasn’t a problem for us, but something to consider if you have kids.  The kitchen would be perfect for cooking, but we decided to try the local spots for meals, and we were very happy we did.  The photos are totally accurate, this pristine condo is bright with very high ceilings and it offers plenty of space to socialize but is still very cozy.  Lauren provided plenty of bedding, towels and basic supplies.  She was available if we needed her but we had the place all to ourselves.  The house “book” provided superb recommendations of restaurants and fun activities.  A highlight for us was renting stand up paddleboards from Congress Avenue Kayaks. All in all, it was the perfect get-away to unwind and reunite with friends we hadn’t seen in a long time.  I would recommend East Austin Gem condo to anyone visiting Austin, TX!"
7939022,47740031,2015-09-21,36090636,Zack,"East Austin Gem was amazing.  The place itself was exactly as described and comfortably slept the 5 of us.  The location was ideal, right on 6th Street with plenty delicious restaurants, food trucks and bars just a short walk away.  It's also a block away from a bike sharing station.  Lauren made us feel welcome by leaving a book detailing favorite places to eat and things to do in Austin, of which we took advantage of plenty.  Would recommend to anyone. "
7939022,48744057,2015-09-28,42579631,Daniel,"There was an electrical problem that was out of the Host’s control.  I contacted the Host and they replied quickly, apologized, and would give us a refund for the night.  It was too late for my party to find a hotel so we stayed at the condo for the night.  Early next morning the Host called me and gave me an option to relocate to another house only one block away.  They handled all transactions, all we had to do is show up and drop off our bags.  At no point during the weekend did my party feel stranded or left in the dark by the Host.  They responded quickly and communicated thoroughly, I never felt I was going to be scammed, something I experienced on a previous BNB interaction.  They are great Hosts.
 
The condo itself was beautiful and in a great, vibrant part of Austin.  If not for the electrical problem, my party would have loved to stay at the condo.  Parking was provided and the place was spacious enough for 4 adults.  Good recommendations on food too."
7939022,49895888,2015-10-07,41881677,George,"This place was amazing. I stayed there with 4 people during Austin City Limits and couldn't have asked for anything better. The location of this place was perfect. There is a delicious Mexican restaurant, a burger joint, and another cafe/bar all directly across the street. It was an easy walk into downtown for more nightlife and restaurants. The house was clean, and exactly as pictured. Lauren made our stay easy and stress less, she even left us some welcome gifts in the fridge. I would definitely recommend and will stay here when we come back to Austin next year."
7939022,50180442,2015-10-10,3102847,Shane,Great home in a great location. Easy walk to downtown and plenty of night life right within two blocks.  Clean and open location.
7939022,50636024,2015-10-13,38769654,Kimberly,"We stayed here for ACL, and loved it! The condo was just as described, physically and location wise.  Lauren was always reachable prior to our visit, dealing with all of our questions, and she even had a welcome gift in the fridge.  It was within walking distance to the fun 6th street bar scene, and there were a few places steps away that we frequented.  Would definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin!!"
7939022,52244633,2015-10-27,45206264,Ross,This was a great place for what we needed.  It was very clean and owner went above and beyond with regard to hospitality.  The apartment is located a couple minutes from downtown in a very interesting neighborhood.  Tons of great food was within close walking distance.  Highly recommended.  
7939022,52830819,2015-11-02,41918346,Ciaran,"Lauren and her husband were excellent hosts! The condo is beautiful and in an excellent location. It was our first time to Austin and they were very helpful with suggestions on where to go. We were there over Halloween and they left us a welcome bowl of candy and beer in the refrigerator. Also, when we woke up to a tornado warning they called us to make sure we were ok and didn't need anything. They were really quick to respond to all of my questions. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend their place to anyone. And I will probably be back!"
8900584,52186473,2015-10-26,47045012,Elizabeth,"Andrea did a terrific job accommodating our changing travel plans and providing all the information we needed to have a wonderful stay! She provided clear directions and was graciously willing to answer all our questions about the home and the Austin area. The home was incredibly clean and well-organized which made the stay welcoming and easy to navigate. The house was just as cute as pictured, and the beds were very comfortable! There was a darling little side patio that was perfect to enjoy with the beautiful Austin weather. A wonderful experience with a very gracious host. "
699506,8111137,2013-10-16,7661084,Rudayna,"We stayed at Bridget's house for ACL. Her house is cozy and lovely, and she is an excellent and thoughtful host. It is in a great neighborhood and is walking distance from numerous yummy spots (Gourdough's and Torchy's!). We had no trouble taking a cab to all the hotspots in town. We're definitely going to try to stay here when we come back to Austin!"
699506,10963009,2014-03-15,12324985,Greg,"Bridget's place was really awesome, and our stay couldn't have been better.  Clean modern house with great back yard, and most importantly it's walking distance from Torchys Tacos.  We'd definitely come back.  Thanks Bridget!!!"
699506,28157842,2015-03-19,4586231,Robin,This house is seriously incredible! The hosts were very responsive as well. It's a no brainier for a corporate group of group of friends or family!
699506,49773764,2015-10-06,39475959,Wesley,"This place is awesome!!  Very nicely decorated and outdoor couches are great place to hang.  Bridget is super accommodating with our flight schedule and I would definitely come back.  The place is walking distance to a convenience store,  several food trucks and sit-down restaurants, which was perfect for our visit.  All the hot spots to grab a drink or nightlife are only a short (and inexpensive!) ride away!!"
699506,50620922,2015-10-13,20571460,Clay,"Bridget was great! She was welcoming when we arrived and showed us all of the details of the place. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and accommodated our early arrival for ACL, which was greatly appreciated!  The house was just as described and provided plenty of room and amenities.  We will definitely be back next year! Great location in one of the best parts of Austin! Although a little bit lengthy, we could actually walk to and from ACL or take a quick cab/uber ride. The restaurants along South Congress are easily accessible and it's in a very quiet and friendly neighborhood!"
5499816,28106350,2015-03-17,4616752,Melanie,"We loved our stay at Carrie's house.  It is cozy and nicely decorated.  Carrie was a great host; she provided us with all kinds of snack, drinks, goodies, etc etc.  She even dropped off baked goods mid stay.  The house is in a nice quiet location a short walk from restaurants and bars.  Carrie also provided a great map and list of nearby options.  Overall it was a great stay and Carrie is a very good host.  I highly recommend staying with Carrie."
701392,3762207,2013-03-12,4740326,Leah,"Michael provided a lovely home and it was very comfortable. It was a little further outside of downtown for someone not familiar with austin, so a car is very useful. The yard and house were lovely and the dog is super sweet. Overall I would recommend this as a great place to stay while in austin."
701392,47876965,2015-09-21,4265317,Tyler,"First of all, I wish this little house was my own... it was beautiful!  The huge floor to ceiling windows in the living room looked out on beautiful old trees, the kitchen and bathrooms looked almost brand new, and the two bedrooms we used were very cozy (I loved the star wars art myself).  The owners clearly have pride in their home.  It was a short walk to the Texas football stadium on Saturday.  They left us a great little welcome pack with all sorts of suggestions about what to do in Austin.  I'll finish by saying you'd be foolish to pass this place up if you get the opportunity.
"
701392,48604548,2015-09-27,33842860,Evan,Adorable house! Loved the huge windows and comfortable bed... kitchen was well stocked and Mike and Elizabeth were superb hosts. I hope we are able to make it back to the Private Paradise in the near future.
701392,49363732,2015-10-03,18891463,Eric,"Mike and Elizabeth's place was really fabulous. Spacious, really nicely appointed, and comfortable. Thanks Mike and Elizabeth!  

They were totally welcoming and offered us tons of information prior to our trip so that we could make reservations at all the right places. 

If we ever get back to Austin we will for sure stay here again ... thanks so much guys!

All best, Eric and Jenny"
701392,50498228,2015-10-12,43960018,Liz,We loved staying at this adorable house!  The location is very centralized with lots to do within walking distance. Mike and Elizabeth were a pleasure to work with and we're always in contact if we needed them.  The space was perfect for the 4 of us but could easily have accommodated 6.  It was clean and comfortable and they provided everything you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms.  I would definitely stay here again!!
701392,51051209,2015-10-17,21350279,Sara,"This place was absolutely amazing! We were five exchange students visiting Austin for our fall break, and the house was very ideally located near downtown on several buss lines (it is possible to walk to downtown as well in about 30 minutes). It is close to campus and a lot of nice restaurants, bars, and shops as well. The house itself is so pretty and very spacious - it even has a mirror ball! Mike and Elizabeth left us a guide to the area including restaurants, sightseeing places, grocery stores etc. We really loved this place and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin! "
701392,51549250,2015-10-21,2175157,Patrick,"We had a superb stay at Mike & Elizabeth's place. A spacious house with lots of daylight, a beautiful living room with views to a large garden, very tidy, well equipped kitchen. They had great recommendations for us for nearby places to eat. We followed several and all were great! Great location and good public transport just down the road.  We'd come back any time!"
701392,51922771,2015-10-25,43081911,Phillip,"Mike and Elizabeth have a perfect home for a relaxing visit to Austin. Very centrally located and extremely easy to get to and from. When we arrived, everything was as advertised and they took care of all the little details. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay here and highly recommend this house as a place to stay while you visit."
701392,52706157,2015-11-01,43964274,Christopher,"No complaints here! The only issue is that that there was a huge storm on our first night stay and some of the water leaked into the kitchen/common area.  But hey, you can't control the weather. We made due. "
5251600,28127429,2015-03-18,27111815,Stephen,"What a great place to stay during SXSW. Everything inside and outside the house was very clean and the space was great for 5 of us - we were all very comfortable during our stay. It was far enough outside of downtown where the crowds were so it was quiet at night but close enough to downtown to the point where it only took us 5 minutes to get into 6th street, the convention center or any if the events we needed to be at.

I highly recommend the house/area to anyone coming to Austin to just hang out OR attend events. The homeowner was super easy to work with as well.
"
6865299,50545945,2015-10-12,22544655,Hazel,Kasie was beyond amazing! She was sweet and she was excited for us to get there. She showed us an amazing nightlife in Austin. She's the person to stay with if you're looking for a fun and nice person to spend your time in Austin with. I will definitely be staying with her on my next Austin adventure.
6025598,30432097,2015-04-21,3747926,Jordan,"Dallas was an exceptional host letting us book the night before we arrived to Austin.

The house was amazing. Very clean, open, bright suiting our 6 guests perfectly. There was a great little backyard with a good size table for everyone. The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for more.

Some of our favorite parts were the spacious front porch and back yard, wine cooler, new appliances, great attention to detail on the design. Dallas was a great host who checked in frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. 

The neighborhood was really beautiful and it's walkable to some taco and coffee shops. Also about a $10 Uber max to almost anywhere in Austin.

We definitely would stay here again and recommend this place highly."
6025598,30736092,2015-04-26,20327934,Kyle,"The house was great.  It was ready and accessible early and was spotless and exactly as described and in the photographs.  A beautiful house in a great neighborhood, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dallas's house.  Our only regret was not being able to spend more time in the awesome back yard.  The front porch with two fans provided a great place to hang out in the evenings.  Overall, we really enjoyed our time in Dallas's house and would definitely stay in the house again in a heartbeat."
6025598,32392878,2015-05-17,32338576,Jim,"This was my first experience with airbnb and it was excellent.  Our host, Dallas, kept in touch from the start and was very helpful.  The house we stayed in was much more than we expected.  Everything was there that we needed.  The neighborhood was just what we were looking for and we really enjoyed our stay.  The front porch was especially nice, a perfect size, with fans and chairs.  I was there every morning with coffee and friends.  And Mr. Sweets, the local cat, came to visit too.  The beds were comfortable, the house was updated and very clean.  The bathrooms were fresh and plenty of towels and condiments.  An overall great experience!  I'm looking forward to another visit.  Again, Dallas, our host was just (email hidden)anks Dallas!"
6025598,35029677,2015-06-14,14691705,David,"It was great for members of my family to stay in this beautiful House. It is as good if not better than the pictures. Dallas was a great host and the whole process worked very smoothly particularly as we booked very late.
Everything needed for a great stay is included and the area is beautiful and great as a base to explore Austin. We would happily recommend this house to anybody and indeed stay in again when we are back. thanks Dallas."
6025598,36234510,2015-06-26,9237009,Jacob,"Phenomenal experience. Great communication before checking in, easy process, amazing house with great amenities in a solid location."
6025598,36797918,2015-07-01,34659035,Mickie,The house was great!  It was very clean and very cozy.  The floor plan is great for enjoying a family vacation.  Dallas was so easy to work with and very friendly.  We will stay in this house again!  The neighborhood is wonderful.  You can walk to several stores and restaurants.  We love it!
6025598,38635916,2015-07-17,3992509,Whitney,"Dallas was a fabulous host. Everything. Was just right upon our arrival, stay, and departure and he frequently checked in to make sure everything was just so. Great place and great host. We really enjoyed strolling to nearby Shipe Park too for a dip in the wading pool and walking to nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Fantastic location in a wonderful neighborhood. "
6025598,40341085,2015-07-30,24591272,Cynthia,"Our family of five could not have been more pleased with our stay at Dallas' very comfortable Hyde Park home. The house is just as shown in the photos. What you don't see is the very lovely neighborhood in which it's located ... a great place to walk and fantasize about owning one of the well-maintained bungalows or Victorian homes down the block (or Dallas' house, if he was so inclined). The house was very clean, and stocked with everything we needed and more. (Dallas went ""above and beyond"" by leaving coffee and snacks.) We could have cooked meals in the well-equipped kitchen, but were seduced by Austin's many terrific restaurants, including a couple nearby (highly recommend Vino Vino's happy hour and reverse happy hour, and Snow Beach's shaved ices). The beds were very comfortable, and I was glad to use the good reading lights, which are often overlooked in rentals and hotels. We appreciated having access to laundry facilities, especially as we packed light. And we loved the at home library ... really enjoyed sitting on the porch with the house's terrific collection of books and magazines. Dallas checked in with a quick text message every couple of days, just to confirm we had everything we needed, and offered good ""go to"" suggestions, including a thumbs up for Barton Springs, which we enjoyed thoroughly on a couple of Austin's hot summer afternoons. We'd be very pleased for this to be our home away from home when we visit Austin again, and consider Dallas the perfect host: available and considerate, but not obtrusive. This was our introduction to using AirBnB, and hope to be as fortunate in our next trip to another location.  "
6025598,40731617,2015-08-02,32580512,Sherri,"Dallas did a fantastic job of communication throughout the rental process. Before the trip, he gave suggestions of a few things to plan while in Austin. As the trip neared, he sent me the check in information as well as nearby suggestions around the house for grocery, coffee, dinner etc. During our stay he was available whenever needed and checked in often to make sure everything was going smoothly. The house itself was gorgeous and everyone in our party was so impressed! The neighborhood was very quiet and quaint and the backyard was perfect for sitting out and relaxing.  This was the perfect home for our girls weekend!"
6025598,41500172,2015-08-07,35306817,Peter & Harriëtte,"Wonderful cosy house in a nice neighborhood. Everything is there clean towels, shampoo and also tools for the kids. The porch is awesome we had a lot of compliments when we sitting outside on the rocking chair with the candles on."
6025598,41840944,2015-08-09,12200388,Anne,House was exactly as advertised and the other reviews are spot on. It is a great place to relax and Dallas was quick to respond to any questions we had. Neighborhood is very quiet and the neighbors are extremely friendly. We will definitely be back!

Дом просторный, идеально чистый и имеет всё необходимое.

Большое спасибо тебе Дала и Остин!

6025598,47677723,2015-09-21,39532877,Ted,A beautiful and comfortable home in the perfect location (Hyde Park neighborhood) in Austin.  Everyone in our family of five thought it was the BEST place to stay.  We also had a great diner at Vino Vino located close by and recommended by our Host.
6025598,48520177,2015-09-27,1225929,Gina,"The house was exactly as described in a cute neighborhood. It was a little tight for 8 people, but we made it work. The house was neat and tidy when we got there and we were able to make ourselves at home. There was a small snafu during our stay and Dallas responded and resolved the issue quickly. We couldn't ask for a better experience!"
6025598,49642910,2015-10-05,3145884,Keala,"Really beautiful, relaxing and SPACIOUS house in neighborhoody Hyde Park (easy 10 minute drive from downtown). We loved the design and decor inside and outside the house. Everyone thought it made them feel at home. With 6 people there was lots of space to spread out and hang out all together too. Dallas made us feel super welcome with wine and cookies, gave great instructions on checking in and out, and was so accommodating throughout our stay. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thanks again for everything!"
6025598,50603683,2015-10-12,2038807,James,Dallas was a life saver and his house was exactly as described. I will definitely stay there stain on our next trip to Austin. 
6025598,51330648,2015-10-19,15018147,Aaron,The place was great -- everything was as described and looked even better in person than it did in the pictures. Dallas was very responsive/available by call and text. Neighborhood was nice a peaceful. We rented a car and had a pretty easy time getting around the city. Would definitely recommend.

The rooms were spacious and the beds large and comfy. The neighbourhood is quiet but close to shops and restaurants. Would definitely recommend to others."

2267461,10957369,2014-03-15,3390134,Pamala,Thank you thank you to Rachel and her family. It was a lovely house and a perfect stay for the 5 of us. She even let a ton of little goodies for our stay. So appreciated the hospitality. 
2267461,21119695,2014-10-12,15199006,Gauden,We had a great experience in Austin. We want to thank Rachel & her family for opening their home to us. The neighborhood is great and the proximity to Zilker park for ACL is perfect. I would definitely recommend this home and the owners and would love to stay here next time we are in Austin. 
2267461,28375871,2015-03-23,1909033,Judy,"Description was very accurate. Our hosts, Rachel and family, left a truly lovely assortment of edibles and drinks (Thank you so much for the coffee!!! How did you know that this is the most essential morning item for my elderly mother???). Wonderful soft towels and toiletries--- as if we were in a luxury hotel, but nicer because it was a charming house! The neighborhood was wonderful, and it proved to be an excellent location for everything we did. Perfect!!"
2267461,50428239,2015-10-12,2321724,Krysia,"Rachel was extremely accommodating and very helpful. I emailed her just hours before our arrival saying me are arriving early and asked if we could get in before check-in time. She happily accommodated us. The towels were fresh and clean. The addition of cute hotel like toilitries and coffee and tea really added to the comfort of the place. The outdoor, enclosed, patio was by far my favorite part of the house. Rachel went so far as to leave us directions to ACL. I would love to come and stay again when I'm in Austin!"

6713635,38205512,2015-07-13,32385555,Paul,"Gorgeous modern house with a beautiful deck, immaculately clean, a great escape from the city. The guest room has lots of space, lots of light and was a great place to relax and unwind from the conference I was at in Austin. I highly recommend enjoying sunsets from the deck. Cindy and David were both exceptionally friendly and helpful and I enjoyed my conversations with them and my (less coherent) conversations with their adorable french bulldogs. Would totally go back!"
6713635,38967383,2015-07-19,38714319,Maria,Fantastic host and extremely pleasant room. Cindy made us feel welcome and had definitely thought of every little detail to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The views live up to the expectations of the photos. Would definitely recommend the experience. 
6713635,40042247,2015-07-27,35719639,Arturo,This was our first AirBnB experience.   Our host was extremely nice and helpfull.   We felt at home immediately upon arrival.  The description was very accurate with no surprises.   This place is awesome.  It is away from the busy Austin streets so you can relax but close enough that you can visit all Austin nice places.  The view from our room was the best.   Already have plans to return.
6713635,40397775,2015-07-30,15127877,Eric,"We had an absolute amazing stay. There's not one thing that could have made this experience any better. Cindy was a wonderful host and very welcoming. The room was super clean with welcome treats awaiting our arrival and a view I could only dream of owning one day. Why would anyone stay in a hotel over the Hill Country Getaway? My wife and I will definitely be returning. Thanks again!!!

6713635,41023112,2015-08-03,39754489,Karie,"This was my first AirBNB experience, and I had a wonderful time! Saying the home is gorgeous is an understatement. Very spacious rooms, floor to ceiling windows, and everything is upgraded. Cindy was very nice and gracious. I couldn't have had a better host. She gave us plenty of suggestions on things to do while in Austin. 

The house is in a perfect location. I was able to get to Downtown Austin within 15 minutes. However, when I was ready to leave the scene I could retreat back to Cindy's place and enjoy some quiet time with the breathtaking views.

I highly recommend this place. You will not be disappointed! "
6713635,42076446,2015-08-10,39645448,Sheila,"I had a wonderful stay at the Hill Country Getaway.  Cindy was very welcoming and accommodating.  The room felt just like I was in a West Elm set, with the most amazing view of Wild Basin.  Not only did Cindy leave snacks and a water bottle in the room, but she also provided a lovely continental breakfast.  The neighborhood is truly in the hills, so I'd recommend using Google maps and then following Cindy's detailed instructions carefully to find the house.  I also enjoyed a morning walk in the neighborhood- it's a beautiful area with more topography than usually found in Texas. "
6713635,42622630,2015-08-14,40750401,Stephanie,She met us at the house and made tea and had a snack. My daughter (14) and I stayed and felt so comfortable .....like I was staying at my sisters house.  The dogs are adorable too!  The house is beyond stunning and the view is gorgeous.  This was my first airbnb and I'm sold .....will stay here again for sure!
6713635,43159644,2015-08-17,40827916,Emma,"Cindy went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The property itself is peaceful and absolutely beautiful. We loved that the location was a short drive from downtown Austin, but away from the hustle and bustle!"
6713635,43839755,2015-08-22,27945769,Jimena,"This was my second stay at cindy's . I love to stay here when I come to Austin. There are many places to eat just minutes from the house , it's close to everything , Cindy and her dogs Sally, Jack amd Loui always make me feel at home . The room has amazing views and there's a patio to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views from the house. "
6713635,44226140,2015-08-24,14115852,Rose,"My daughter and I were looking for some time together and boy was this the perfect place to stay! Cindy has a beautiful new home she shares with her guests...and adds lots of personal touches. Cheese and crackers and iced tea were out when we arrived, a coffee bar is set up to make espressos whenever desired and even a blender for smoothies! The bed was very comfortable and you can see that the view is over the top. I really enjoyed visiting with Cindy and even had the opportunity to visit with a few of the other guests too. I hope we get to go back soon. You won't be disappointed!"
6713635,44396834,2015-08-25,39663354,Jessica,"Hello,

This was my first airbnb experience and I must say by far that Cindy has set the bar high for my fiancé and I. 

Cindy was such a welcoming host and her adorable pups were just the nice touch of character! I surprised my fiancé and brought him here for his birthday weekend with plans to stay one night in light of a full itenerary that weekend. We enjoyed it so much that we canceled original plans and chose to extend our stay - unfortunately per original plans I only pre-booked one night but fortunately Cindy was very flexible and offered another bedroom! I'm happy to have gotten the perspective of both the master and 1 of the 2 bedrooms that Cindy offers. You will not be dissatisfied either way - you'll always have a view! 

Cindy is sure to make you feel at home, she'll have light snacks and refreshing cool beverages during the day and in the mornings you're greeted by a yum breakfast treat and wonderful latés that make you question your preferred daily barista.

I really appreciated that Cindy took the time to help me coordinate surprising my fiancé with a cake and candles by midnight knowing I would not have had a moment to get away from him without being obvious. In addition she had plenty of suggestions on fun things to do but also stocked your room with great magazines to provide more ideas in contribution to anything you may have already planned.

The neighborhood was delightful and the house is just breath taking with it's modern and clean architectural shell and its homey, transitional interior. 

In the mornings, the sun creeps above the hills waking you to the greenery for miiiiles and slips away at sunset, leaving behind a fresh light breeze and serenity. It's very romantic!! Through the course of the weekend we saw atleast 14 deer, coming from the hustle and bustle of Atlanta and Dallas we were happy to be in touch with nature let alone see so much wild life. You truly are nestled in the lush hill country of Austin!

Thank you so much Cindy for opening your home to us!! It was a  ""luxury land"" as Jonathan puts it. We will be back one day (or week!) very soon!! :)

Kindly,
Jessica!"
6713635,45150794,2015-08-31,41071615,Kait,"This was our first Air BnB experience, and we couldn't of asked for a better place to stay! Cindy is a wonderful host! She made our stay so comfortable and relaxing! Aside from the house, that is absolutely gorgeous, the little things she did to make our stay welcoming were so thoughtful! I would definitely go back and stay again! "
6713635,45616611,2015-09-04,14115852,Rose,This was our second stay with Cindy. She's so easy going and we really feel at home! We love the peace and connection to nature. The bedroom suite is so comfortable (including the bed). We were able to keep a few things in the frig as we stayed for a few days. Also close to the grocery store and restaurants. You'll enjoy a stay here for sure.
6713635,48037709,2015-09-22,2772208,Donna,"Cindy went above and beyond as a host. I've stayed in a lot of Air BnB's, and Cindy was by far the most welcoming, kind and caring hostess I've ever encountered. Everything was gorgeous, impeccably clean, and Cindy thought of everything. I can't say enough about this space, and about Cindy's hospitality. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

I'll be back next time I'm in Austin."
6713635,48785844,2015-09-28,14550933,Lea,"Cindy was an incredible host and her house is so incredibly gorgeous! As mentioned previously, Cindy had wonderful snacks set out when we arrived and there were snacks in the room with a bottle of water. The room we stayed in was so comfortable and she was so welcoming that it felt like staying with family or a close friend. I don't travel to Austin often, unfortunately, but if and when I do, I definitely will stay with Cindy! I would certainly recommend her home to anyone. Also, the house is in a really great and central location. "
6713635,48957848,2015-09-29,12271789,Tara,"Cindy has a beautiful, comfortable home! She's very accommodating and friendly, would definitely book with her again!"
6713635,51213806,2015-10-18,3736374,Laura,"The Getaway was just as described and even more beautiful than the photos. My room was bright, clean, and impeccably decorated. I enjoyed sitting on the small front patio in the shade, and on the scenic back porch (I saw a deer!).

Cindy was a wonderful host. She was personable and lovely to talk with, but gave me plenty of space and privacy. 

I chose the Getaway because I wanted to take a personal writing retreat, and my stay was equal parts writing and retreat. Beautiful spot, not too far from shops and restaurants, and no distractions. Would love to return. "
3308866,16879393,2014-08-03,19296787,Chris,"Really awesome, new house in East Austin (the hip part), with an incredible Austin skyline view from a 3rd floor balcony. Clean rooms, nice bathrooms, and great hosts. I dealt with both Brandon and Julian, and both were super friendly guys who were very helpful. We walked to the bars on East 6th Friday night, and Brandon sent us to an incredible butcher shop/restaurant/bar. Great experience for my first trip using AirBnB."
3308866,18572617,2014-08-28,6680724,Gordon,"I had an awesome time staying in Julian's place in East Austin! His house is spacious and has great views overlooking Downtown. The air conditioning and wifi was great. I cannot fault the place. The guys were friendly and recommended some amazing local places to eat out. The Quickie Pick, Salt and Time, and Hillview Farmacy were great spots for food. The bars on 6th Street are minutes away. I would most definitely recommend staying here and will stay again the next time I am in Austin!"
3308866,26269552,2015-02-08,3762294,Daniel,"If you're looking for a laid-back place, this is the house. Definitely best for younger travelers or the young-minded. Brandon (the owner's brother) was a great host and made us feel at home. My guest and I had a crazy good time. It was worth it just for the stellar master bathroom."
3308866,26933235,2015-02-22,6431002,Jon + Jabel,"Julian and Brandon's place is very modern, spacious and beautiful. If you like contemporary architecture, you'll dig this.

East Austin is THE neighborhood to stay and play. You can literally walk to restaurant, bars, music venues, coffee shops, farmer's market, etc. Check out Whistler's (lower level) and Mezcalaría Tobalá (upper level). Walking distance to dirty 6th (if you're into that sort of thing) and Rainey Street.

Brandon was very accommodating to me and my brothers. We had a huge room with 3 mattresses, a private bathroom and 2 decks! Way more than we needed, for sure.

I would suggest this for younger folks wanting to have a good time and experience Austin's unique nightlife. we'll be back soon."
3308866,30809510,2015-04-27,151386,Rachael,"Julian and Brandon are fantastic hosts, and the room that we rented is a serene oasis.  The bathroom is bigger than my NYC apartment and the 2 story roof deck is perfection.   We had a blast staying with them, and will DEFINITELY be back the next time I am in town.  Thanks guys! "
953521,4367437,2013-04-30,5922166,Annelise,"Like we say in french ""C'est la maison du bonheur!"" which means this is the house of happiness. The housemates are the bests, they helped us so much discovering the best of Austin. They're really nice people, it was really easy to share things with them. The room is really nice, the bed extremely comfy, and the house is cool. You'll be surrounded by Alicia's arty notes and devices, which makes you want to be creative and determined.

If you're not driving, the house is at a perfect location. Many buses around, it's so easy to get Downtown in less than 20 minutes. 

We had a wonderful time there, and will try to come back. Austin's such a cool city, and Alicia's home is such a great friendly place to stay. "
953521,4869022,2013-05-29,6502589,Brittney,"I didn't actually get to hang out with Alicia because she was away for work, but can't talk highly enough of her roommates! Truly lovely to come back and chill with after a day exploring Austin. 
Buses downtown are fairly convenient and for a princely sum of $2 for a day pass, an excellent way to get around town!
The house has a great creative vibe, but could use a good scrubbing. Alicia has a fab decorating style, was prompt to reply and made sure her roommate was around to welcome me and he was also generous enough to show me around Austin to get my bearings and get to the grocery shop for some supplies for the week. Really enjoyed my stay here!"

953521,16513602,2014-07-28,18229985,Nandini,"Though I didn't get to personally meet Alicia, but it was a great experience!! 
We found our room nicely made, with fresh towels and a pretty welcome note waiting for us :) Centrally located, with enough parking space , this seems like perfect place to explore Austin from. The bathroom was clean and tidy, and  though I didn't get to use the kitchen, it looked clean at a glance. Also she really keeps the house decorated!! :) 
Would love to stay here again in future."
953521,26389657,2015-02-11,21555835,Ella,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Austin! Although we did not meet Alicia in person she was very welcoming and friendly over the phone and helped us with any questions we had. Room mates were awesome and really easy to get along with. The house was cute and cosy although it did need a good clean/scrub. The location is a bit far from everything that we wanted to visit (such as South Congress, downtown, Barton Springs + more), but would be fine if you had a car or didn't mind long public transportation. "
953521,31993418,2015-05-12,31866465,Sara,"Lovely place to stay in east Austin! Perfect location for using public transit, loved not needing a car bc 2 different bus lines pick up right across the street.  There's not a ton to see and do right near the house but on the bus it's only a short ride downtown (10min). Roommates were all nice and helpful.  House is really cute, decorated with all kinds of neat things and original art. Bedroom was plenty big for two people and was comfortable for us for a whole week. We appreciated how easy it was to contact Alicia and her prompt response time. Really just a great a place to stay! "
953521,40837799,2015-08-02,39460548,Thomas,"I never met Alicia in person, but she was friendly over the messenger interface. The room was really nicely decorated, as was the rest of the house. Overall a really great place to stay. There were two other rooms on the floor also being occupied through airbnb, but this didn't cause any problems. The only downsides were that there wasn't much to do within walking distance (although most of central Austin was only a 10-15 minute drive away) and the communal area weren't particularly clean, particularly the shower in the bathroom."
953521,44284875,2015-08-25,13292125,Elaine,"PROS
- The kitchen has a lot of cooking utensils
- There is a washer and dryer 
- Clean sheets and towels were provided
- You could use the AC liberally
- Low cost
- I met three other really awesome Airbnb guests

CONS
- I was told just a few days before I arrived that Alicia was not living in the house and that I would be greeted by her friend Joe who is living on the first floor. It was fine but I had specifically chosen to stay with a woman host so it came as a surprise. 
- The front door was kept unlocked a lot of the times which could be worrisome for some people. The lock on my bedroom door did not work either. 
- Cleanliness: When I first arrived, the shower was so clogged the water went up almost to my knees. One of the Airbnb guests helped unclog it thankfully. Although Alicia did clean the house a few days after my arrival, overall the house is not spotlessly clean: stains all over the carpet, pink and black mold residue in the shower, ants in the kitchen. When the AC is turned down, there is an unpleasant smell of humidity throughout the house. There was no weekly cleaning provided (when I was there at least). 
- Neighborhood: The area is not the prettiest part of Austin. You're near fields with fast food lots and pawn shops that advertise guns. To get to the bus stop to go to the university, you have to walk for about 10 minutes without a sidewalk and cross the street twice without a crosswalk. There are, however, close-by bus stops that take you to downtown and the airport. There is a small supermarket nearby but to get to HEB, Whole Foods or Trader Joe's you have to take the bus (or 2 buses) and walk for a bit. Staying here is probably easier if you have a car. "

The bedrooms, living room, porch, kitchen and overall space was very homey and inviting, and made for a fantastic stay and experience--I will definitely stay here again my next time in Austin!!

1401834,20560294,2014-10-01,20145551,Anders,"I stayed 5 weeks at Sarahs place. Everything is like it looks on the pictures. Quiet and comfortable. Sarah is a good host, takes care of everything. She gave me two free days, since I arrived earlier than expected. That was really great! This place is ideal for business trips."

1401834,21306258,2014-10-14,1494355,Courtney,What a lovely stay in this oasis in the 04! Sarah was kind and helpful. Her home is very peaceful. I wouldn't hesitate to book again. 
1401834,28185684,2015-03-19,29001216,Matt,"To skip to the conclusion, Sarah's house and hospitality were excellent. I stayed 6 nights and would have gladly stayed longer if I could have.

For my first time at SXSW, and first time in Austin, I chose to stay with Sarah because she already had several positive reviews and her photos showed a clean/calming/cool and comfortably sized space to go along with the private bedroom and private bathroom. 

Sarah has one dog and one cat who are both very quiet and well behaved.

Sarah knows Austin very well and was able to answer any questions I had about getting around or points of interest. She also proactively gave me plenty of advice.

My Uber trips to and from downtown averaged ~$12 for 10-15min trips, and probably half of that to the center of South Congress strip full of great casual restaurants.

Wifi connection was flawless

The neighborhood is residential and safe, but a good 15+ min walk to any type of restaurant or convenience store.

Water pressure was decent. Water temp was slightly tricky. 

Square footage and modernness is probably a personal preference. I've lived in NYC for 10 years, and give those things a pass as long as something is clean/safe/quiet.

"
1401834,31051972,2015-05-01,3179293,Preston,"Sarah's place is awesome. The location is spot on, And the place is as cool as the pictures. Was really great getting to know Sarah, she was very helpful and made me feel welcome. I recommend her place highly."
1401834,47699531,2015-09-21,1346895,Gustav,"Sarah has been great. Her house is awesome. Super convenient to downtown, Lamar and Congress. She has a wonderful dog and cat that will provide endless entertainment. She makes you feel super welcome and is a joy to live with. A++"
1401834,51298495,2015-10-19,1346895,Gustav,I enjoyed my first stay at Sarah's that I rebooked for an extra month. Read my first review for more details but anyone who plans to stay with Sarah will enjoy her place. She is great and is really dialed into all things Austin.
870946,13160583,2014-05-20,12758125,Hanh,"Aaron and his wife were wonderful hosts!  Met them and their sweet kids when we got there to get the keys.  

Place is as it was described in the details and realllyyy close to Soco area.  Anytime we happened to run into each other on the way out they would ask to make sure everything was going well.  Super sweet hosts.

Definitely would rent again from them! "
870946,13922161,2014-06-08,6989399,Tiffany,Aaron was a great host. He asked how everything was during our stay. This was our first time with airbnb and I would say I'm a believer. It's a cozy place to hang out and rest. I thought Aaron and his wife did a great job of decorating it. It was located very close to downtown and the interstate. Aaron was always easy to reach if I had a question. 
870946,13988656,2014-06-09,5408970,Jenny,"Aaron and Alyse were wonderful  hosts! They made sure  we were taken care of and the check in/out process was easy and smooth. The place is very lovely and even better than the pictures :)  The location  was perfect for us,  close to downtown and the hwy.  I would definitely  come back here and highly recommend  this place for anyone visiting ATX."
870946,14192427,2014-06-14,15242583,Jonnyka,Aaron was a wonderful host and the apartment was perfect!  Location was great - it was close to everywhere we wanted to go. I have already recommended it to friends when they visit Austin!
870946,14938544,2014-06-29,16968333,Matthew,"This is an absolutely great place to stay while in Austin. My experience started late on Thursday night when my flight got delayed several times in SF then also in SLC before i finally arrived around 1AM on Friday. Aaron was so accommodating and waited for me to arrive. I really appreciate the effort he put forth in making me feel at home. The room is perfect with your own bathroom, kitchen and full sized bed. I couldn't have asked for more. I really appreciate the service and what an awesome experience this was, Thank you so much Aaron. "
870946,18267504,2014-08-24,19451822,Rahwa,"Aaron was a great host!  Two of us were staying for 4 nights and were both completely new to Austin.  We met Aaron the first day we arrived and he gave us a general idea of what was where, how to get places, and offered to drive us if he could (which he did!).  We unfortunately never got to meet his wife Alise during this trip, but I'm sure she's wonderful too! He was a great resource for trying to get around and what was happening.  We were out most of the time exploring, so we didn't see Aaron a ton, but he was responsive to texts and calls, and completely down to let us do our own thing. 
The place is just like it looks in the pictures! Everything listed is there, and more! It is absolutely beautiful and clean, and stocked with bathroom amenities and kitchen supplies, and anything that's not there we just asked and he let us borrow what he had in the main house.  The place is separate from the main house, so it's like having your own place for a while, which is hugely helpful if you'll be up at odd hours or just want some privacy.  Really good location too with neat stuff close by, and just a 10 minute bus ride straight into downtown and only 12 minutes from the airport.    
Overall great experience, definitely recommend a stay here!"
870946,19076861,2014-09-06,1968160,Daniel,"Aaron and his family are great people. I had no issues whatsoever with them. 

The studio itself is very clean and spacious, has a nice shower and several kitchen items that will make your stay more enjoyable ie. espresso machine.

The location is great. We are very close to downtown and to the major highways crossing Austin, making this place very convenient for work related stays as well.

I will definitely recommend Aaron's place to friends who will be coming to Austin in the future.

Dan & Alex"
870946,20196890,2014-09-25,18021014,New,"Aaron was very welcoming and helpful.  The pictures are completely accurate.  The place is immaculately clean, and the bed is comfortable.  I would definitely stay again.  Note that the kitchen is missing some of the basics (ex:  can opener) - so if you are going to need anything specific, ask ahead and see if you need to bring your own.  ."
870946,20453143,2014-09-29,6390280,Danielle,"Aaron was very accommodating with our arrival and departure times. The apartment has its own private entrance and was very nice, clean, and cozy. The place is very welcoming and had everything we needed for the weekend.  The bathroom even has a heat lamp :) 

Aaron provided us with a lot of suggestions and advice about the surrounding areas. He was very hospitable, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure our stay was perfect. We would be more than happy to stay in his apartment if we return to Austin. "
870946,22106866,2014-10-30,2466046,Jason,"I really enjoyed my time in this apartment and in Austin. The place was really comfortable and clean. Plus Aaron and his family were super nice and helpful. It's close to South Congress and easy to get to downtown, so location is great as well. I'd very happily stay there again."
870946,22393945,2014-11-05,3069675,Gabrielle,"Aaron's place was exactly as pictured. It was clean, quiet, warm and comfortable. It was in an excellent location, with plenty of parking. They even left fresh eggs for me - although I didn't get a chance to enjoy them."
870946,23156828,2014-11-24,6442100,Tiffany,Aaron and his wife were awesome! They were so sweet and very accommodating. They even left us fresh eggs in the fridge from their chickens! 
870946,23717688,2014-12-08,19869257,Antonio,"Great experience, unit just as described.  Hosts were very accommodating, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Unit's location made getting to and around South Congress, Downtown, and the Lamar areas very easy. Great rental for a couple just trying to get away and spend a laid back weekend in Austin.  I would recommend. "
870946,24036427,2014-12-17,13372788,Ryan,Stayed at Aaron's place for 8 days recently and was perfect place for me and my fiancé to stay for a while. Aaron and his wife and family are great hosts and the apartment is perfect and comfortable.. Even got some eggs in the fridge from the chickens outside! Can't say enough good things about Aaron and the guest house and will definitely stay there again in the future..
870946,25599928,2015-01-20,20791533,Holly,"Aaron's place was wonderful. The space was beautiful with lots of little homely touches. 5 min walk from the bus stop which will take you to lots of vintage shops, cafes and bars in SoCo or across the river to downtown. Aaron and his family are lovely! Very welcoming and generous with their time and advice. We only crossed paths a couple of times during our stay- we had plenty of privacy but could always text Aaron with any questions or queries. Would definitely stay here again! "
870946,26672852,2015-02-17,23619329,Nathalie,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Aaron's apartment during Valentine's Day weekend. This was our first air bnb experience, and after staying at Aaron's place, we will definitely use it again. The apartment was very cozy and private, and also convenient to downtown and other prime areas in Austin (a short drive away). The bathroom was complete with plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap. There was also a complete kitchen, including a refrigerator, for us to use. Aaron and his wife were very easy to communicate with if we needed anything during our stay, but they also gave us privacy. Overall, a great experience, and I would highly recommend Aaron's place to anyone looking to visit Austin!"
870946,27131457,2015-02-26,518716,Pascale,"We had such a nice stay at Aaron's place! The apartment was very conveniently located, very close to the bus which was only a quick trip into the heart of austin. The apartment itself was fantastic! Very homey and cosy, and looks as pictured on the listing (if not better!). 
Aaron was a great host, we didn't see a lot of him as we were only there a few days and were out most of the time, but he was very helpful, gave us some handy tips and was easy to communicate with. Overall we had a great time!"
870946,27773195,2015-03-11,15490766,Megan,"Aaron's place is exactly as pictured. It is a back house to his lovely home that you can access through the gate. Our only interaction with Aaron was when he first arrived but he was happy to provide us with directions or suggestions via text if we needed anything. The location is a bit further from the main strip of congress that I had hoped for, and we hit quite a bit of rain so we ended up taking lyfts wherever we went. We didn't get the fabulous chicken eggs that other visitors experienced, but all and all it was a great place for price, location and convenience! "
870946,28074533,2015-03-17,26384525,Peter,"This is a wonderful property in a great neighborhood of Austin. Aaron was extremely accommodating and the property was accurately represented in the listing. The apartment had a full complement of kitchen appliances which made meals a breeze to prepare. 

We had no difficulty getting downtown both by bus and Lyft at very little cost. Aaron was quick to provide tips on which places to check out in the city and also where to grab the best late night tacos in town.

I can not recommend this location more and I hope I will be able to come back soon. "
870946,28465969,2015-03-24,6814154,Barbara,"Very nice and cozy apartment , well equipped kitchen, nice bathroom (shower pressure we loved!) we appreciated the wifi. Location is very convenient even if you rely on public transport like we did - half a block from congress avenue, many direct busses to downtown. Aaron was really helpful in all matters. Excellent choice overall."
870946,28805590,2015-03-30,15201481,Lori,"Aaron was extremely helpful and easy to reach. The place was bright, clean, and quiet. (His kids were adorable too :) ). "

Quiet with chickens in the yard. Aaron made us feel completely at home and Alyse gave us some great recommendations for places to hit around the city. We would definitely stay again!"
870946,31377237,2015-05-04,2943157,Ana,"Exactly the way it is in the photos. The home is cozy, there is plenty of room for clothes and luggage. There is a stove and that was the best part. We were able to cook meals and feel like at home. 
The hosts are great, super welcoming and available. We had a fabulous time. "
870946,31695199,2015-05-09,3019310,Michael,"This place is perfect! Private, spacious, close enough and easy to get to everything you'd want to do in Austin and crazy affordable. Aaron and Alyse are great hosts. Attentive, with plenty of suggestions on where to go/what to do, but still provided a lot of privacy. There when you need them to be, and not when you don't.  It seriously felt like our own little apartment. Can't recommend it enough!"
870946,31973497,2015-05-12,16507215,Cathy,"Aaron's place is exactly as pictured:  neat and tidy, bright and comfy, with a well-equipped kitchen area for a brief stay.   What you can't ""see"" is how quiet Aaron's place is and how secluded and private you'll feel that it is...even though it's really super close to one of the most popular areas to dine, shop and experience Austin's culture.  The central air unit was easy to adjust to just the right temperature and we were plenty comfy.   Bathroom, just off the bed alcove is roomy and tiled shower had plenty of hot water. There were plenty of pillows on the bed of various firmness and size, so both my husband and I were happy, no easy feat!  Parking on the street was no problem.  Aaron was quick to respond to our request to stay and easy to reach and very accommodating once we arrived and were ready to get keys.  Had we needed anything, he was available, but it was so perfect for us that we didn't need a thing!"
870946,32508289,2015-05-19,5121221,Anthony,Aaron's apartment was clean and comfortable and very private.  It was the perfect location for me in South Austin and I would highly recommend it.  Aaron was present upon my arrival to give me the keys and the ins and outs of the apartment and was always available by text if any questions arose.  I would definitely stay here again.
870946,34558281,2015-06-09,23754388,Louis,"Great place to stay, rooms very clean, plenty of room and appliances.  Easy to access and the hosts are great. Location easy to find and access to all of soco.  We will stay here again."
870946,35116585,2015-06-15,33515356,Jason,"Aaron and his family were very welcoming, and if you needed anything they were always on standby.

The neighborhood is great! it was right in the middle of everything in austin. "

870946,40051129,2015-07-27,39287275,Kim,"Our host made us feel very welcome when arriving to his home. We communicated through texting, which was easy and fast. I texted him our time of arrival and he came out to meet us in front of his home. He gave us a small tour of the place we stayed in and gave us simple instructions. 

The listing was very accurate to what we experienced. Very clean and home-like. I enjoyed watching the chickens outside too. Parking was very convenient. 

The location of this place was great. We didn't drive far and everything was close to us. 

I liked how Aaron gave us privacy but was still easy to communicate with. He even gave us a list of things to do in Austin, which was nice of him.

Overall the experience was great. Definitely would recommend his place to others who are vising Austin. "

Aaron made us feel incredibly welcome; he was gracious and generous with his space and his resources. This was a sole studio located in the backyard of Aaron's main house but has plenty of privacy and space, and located right off of SoCo. We were greeted upon arrival with a small tour of where we would be staying and also their property, with some wise words of wisdom of where to eat and visit. We were also provided with a packet (that very closely imitated my list) of places to eat and visit as well! The bed was incredibly comfortable, roomy, soft, and the bathroom was clean and filled with all of the necessary accommodations one would need. There was a handy fridge for any beverages that you would like to purchase and a full functioning kitchen for your use. I highly HIGHLY recommend choosing to stay here if you're coming to Austin! This was perfect for our stay of 2 for a couple of days! "
870946,45154511,2015-08-31,1781179,Ryan,"My stay at Aaron's place could not have been better. The place was very clean, quiet, and private (as it was their back/guest house). The location made my stay in Austin very enjoyable as all of the food, entertainment, and action of the city were very close by. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Aaron"
870946,46582089,2015-09-12,35135587,Sidonie,"Thank you again for your hospitality during our stay Aaron. The room was just as described and very clean. It would have been nice to have had a couch to lounge on and a TV but we made the best of it. 
The list of places to eat was great. We really enjoyed Lamberts! For those who want to visit the downtown area, you will need to drive, taxi or Uber...it is not walking distance. Uber rates were not too bad and once you are in town, you can walk just about everywhere. 
Thank you again Aaron!! 

Sidonie & John"

The apartment is an upstairs 'garage apartment' at the back of the property.  It is very comfortable and in a peaceful setting; it had everything I needed for my 4-day stay.  I would enjoy staying there again and recommend it to others!"

Pluses for me include: plently of fresh towels, a super comfortable bed,  packet of local recommendations, and the offer of fresh eggs from the chickens!  Don't worry, I didn't hear the chickens at all the entire weekend.  Excellent stay overall, and I'd definitely stay there again!"

I can't wait to return.  It is in a peaceful neighborhood with quick access to everything. It is an IKEA dream home- everything seemed to have come from the store from linens to wine openers!

I do wish the pillows in the 2-bed room across from the bathroom were softer (they were itchy) and thicker.  That is the only negative I have in this otherwise perfect place to stay!  PERFECT for groups!"

It slept 7 people very comfortably and there was plenty of living space for everyone to hang out. Everyone loved the house and raved about the neighborhood. We were able to walk to Epicerie and Fonda San Miguel for dinner. It's also close to the shoal creek trail which is perfect for walking/running. The group is already planning for another stay in the summer to use the awesome pool. Erica, our host, was kind enough to provide us with an early check in and late check out with no extra charge. She also checked in on us via email to make sure everything was okay with the house. Overall a perfect homeaway experience. "

3129540,27813090,2015-03-12,20531212,Jessicaca,"This house is fantabulous! I was surprised that it technically has everything you need (btw, there are many swimming toys),hair dryer, towels, all types of kitchenware. It is very clean as well. What I love the most is the convenient location! It is indeed close to everywhere. The price is worthy. "
3129540,28773899,2015-03-30,21227111,Emily,House was spotless upon arrival. Kind of a weird neighborhood but right off the highway so very easy to get to all the popular Austin restaurants/areas. The pool was chilly but an amazing place to hang out at. Spent most of our free time poolside. The master bedroom is amazing. The other bedrooms were simple but spacious. Overall was a great and affordable option for a bachelorette party!

Outdoor living area, pool and master suite were particularly great.  Good sized bedrooms with wonderful beds and plenty of linens slept ten comfortably.  Three bathrooms meant no waiting for showers.  Good communication with host allowed us  easy access and generously allowed later departure.  This amazing house made my son's graduation a joy for us all - thanks!
"
3129540,37278291,2015-07-06,12205215,Tara,"Perfect house! Couldn't have picked a better girls weekend location. Only a $20 Uber to get downtown, but you get all the perks of having an amazing kitchen, private pool, and just enough space to really feel at home. Thanks so much! "

4032235,23311718,2014-11-28,4905328,Mary,"JIll's house was perfect for our group of two couples and two labradors in kennels, with a big fenced back yard. The place is decorated so delightfully and comfortably.  The neighborhood was close to downtown Austin and the University (we were there for the game), so totally perfect!

She was really welcoming leaving us a note, bottle of wine and some yummy Whole Foods chocolates. We very highly recommend Jill's place!"
4032235,24454133,2014-12-28,25114259,Katie,"We fell in love with Jill's place, we felt at home almost immediately. Dog friendly with dog door, toys, and dog food mat. We used the grill outside, very relaxing hang out and beautiful backyard scenery. The house was so clean and organized, felt better than a 5 star hotel. This was our first airbnb experience and it will be a hard one to top. Highly recommend staying here. Thanks so much Jill!"
4032235,24796608,2015-01-02,7803397,Don,"The place exceeded all expectations. Wonderful location, extremely comfortable, well equipped, awesome yard, and impeccably clean. Jill was a great host. I would definitely book again and provide my highest recommendation to all considering!"
4032235,25292421,2015-01-11,3871496,Caitlin,"We made a last minute trip to Austin to celebrate a friend's birthday and stayed at Jill's awesome place. She was so helpful during the booking process, and was extra concerned about our dog, who we brought along for fun. Jill's home is in a great location. It was immaculate and had everything we needed. The wine and beer in the fridge was an added bonus. Thank you for hosting us, Jill!"
4032235,26573009,2015-02-15,27486754,Tori,Jill was easily accessible throughout the check in and check out process via text. The layout of her place is perfect for 2 couples as it has separate bathrooms and 1 shared shower and the rooms are far enough away from each other not to wake each other in the morning. It was an easy 10 minute drive to downtown and in a very quiet neighborhood! I would definitely stay there again!
4032235,26946222,2015-02-22,17761560,Rebecca,Jill was great. The house was terrific and very clean. Had a great time in Austin because of the location and proximity to the city. Thank you!

4032235,27610280,2015-03-08,28278961,Derek,Jill's house helped to make for a perfect weekend in Austin. We had two couples and the perfect amount of space.

4032235,33072718,2015-05-25,14659451,David,"Two couples and a nine month baby stayed at Jill's place for the weekend. The house is set up really well for two couples, with two separate bathrooms with separate toilet and sink and a shared bathtub/shower in the center. Very nicely stocked kitchen. Pretty quiet and comfortable neighborhood, but also very close to access to Lamar Street and the highway which is convenient. I would definitely stay here again. Jill was very helpful and was happy to assist us with any questions we had. "
4032235,34386360,2015-06-07,7986073,Mike,"Jill was a courteous host with a quaint little home.  Four of us stayed at the house along with two dogs and we were all very comfortable.  Jill even had some dog toys out for our dogs to play with!  

The home was clean, close to downtown, and possessed a nice size backyard to relax in.  I would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Austin."
4032235,35043797,2015-06-14,25692749,Farah,Jill was a great host when some friends and I stayed at her place for 1 night. She made us feel feel welcome and her place was clean and put together. It was a convenient location for us. We wish we had taken advantage of the back yard seating. 
4032235,35707880,2015-06-21,34872080,James,Place was nice and clean. It was our first time to use Airbnb and did not know what to expect. The overall experience was great. Jill was open in allowing my puppy to stay with me there and not over charging me for it. 
4032235,37203742,2015-07-05,2447890,Max,"Jill's home was wonderful. My girlfriend and I, as well as three of our friends stayed at her home over 4th of July weekend and it was great. Jill was always communicative if we had questions and she even left out some dog toys for our friends dog we brought along. Overall the stay, the home, and the host were awesome."
4032235,38024297,2015-07-12,14449353,Lara,"Jill was a great host who helped us with anything we needed! She communicated very clearly about arrival and made our experience super easy! The wine and basket of snacks were an added bonus :) 

We hosted a brunch in her adorable back yard and there was plenty of space for activities (we did need to clean up after what appeared to be a couple of large dogs before walking on the lawn though.) 

The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay."
4032235,38778448,2015-07-18,38005365,Audra,Wonderful place! We had a great night there.

4032235,39896865,2015-07-26,15677383,Kailash,"Jill's home in Austin was absolutely wonderful.  The whole house was very clean and inviting with a great kitchen and two very comfortable beds.  Located in a woodsy neighborhood only 10 minutes from downtown Austin, it was peaceful yet close to everything.  Anytime you are visiting Austin, don't hesitate to stay in this lovely home."
4032235,41820030,2015-08-09,29830298,Andie,"Fabulous experience! Jill was one of the kindest, most welcoming hosts I've had the pleasure of interacting with. Her place was really lovely, exactly as pictured. Plenty of space for a group of five friends, and very conveniently located near some great Austin spots (Torchy's, Kerbey Lane, and many others). Would highly recommend!"
4032235,42770795,2015-08-15,583859,Leslie,"My husband, toddler and I enjoyed our stay at Jill's place. Her home is exactly as described and incredibly comfortable and clean. Jill was a great host - her response time was speedy prior to our arrival and during our stay she was easily reachable by text for any questions. We had to change the dates of our trip last minute and Jill was very flexible and worked with us to arrange the best alternate dates for our trip. We loved that we were able to bring our dog with us to Austin and Jill's backyard is a great size for any dog to run around. The neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located to all of the major sites of the city. I would recommend Jill's place to everyone and would definitely stay there again on future visits to Austin."
4032235,45851639,2015-09-06,21382730,Vai,"Jill's place is absolutely adorable and perfect for 5 adults and a toddler. The backyard was perfect for our toddler. We reached out to Jill twice and both times, we received responses within 5 minutes!! She was also very sweet to leave a small basket of goodies (chips, salsa, and wine) and a card upon our arrival. Now this is what I call a super host "
4032235,46109050,2015-09-07,24822579,Heather,"Loved this place-- great location, nice space and yard. Very clean, and Jill couldn't have been any nicer and more accommodating. Place was just as described, and was very dog-friendly-- HUGE plus in our book!"
4032235,47759122,2015-09-21,19681589,Piazza,The house was awesome.  It was very clean and well stocked for all our needs.  Jill was easy to deal with and answered my emails quickly.  We were traveling with 3 small dog so the fenced yard was a must.  Thank you  for a great place to stay! 
4032235,49421444,2015-10-04,4872000,Brian,"We were in town for ACL and Jill's home was great! It was clean, in a great location, fully stocked and exactly as described. Communication was great from her and the check in/out process was straight forward and convenient. I highly recommend her place for future travelers. 
"
4032235,51020518,2015-10-17,24584740,Jennifer,"We had a great stay.  Jill was accessible, friendly, and made her home welcoming with snacks, coffee, and written instructions.  The apartment was in a great location and was very clean and neat."

3969288,28416400,2015-03-23,811515,Javon,We had a great stay in Austin at this house. The place was clean and exactly as advertised. It was also in a great location that was close to downtown. I definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
3969288,33116748,2015-05-25,30644475,Seth,"Pros:
This house is truly a gem. Two big comfortable bedrooms, a great dining/living space to hang out and a big TV with cable and DVR (plus another TV in the backyard). Kitchen has a ton of charm. Backyard, complete with TV, would have been amazing for BBQs if it hadn't been raining all weekend (good for Austin, bad for us). Awesome swing/hammock in the front for when it's nice.

Cons:
The futon by the big TV is very comfy for sitting but not super comfy for sleeping. But that's subjective.
There's a train track behind the house. A few times per day (including sometimes at night) a loud freight train goes past. It's a nuisance, but nothing too problematic.
No dishwasher. For a short term stay it's no big deal, but may be an issue with longer term.

In sum, this house is great for groups of 4 or less, and just fine for groups of 5-6. But the location is stellar, the layout is perfect for hanging/low key parties, and we would absolutely book it again."
3969288,50706216,2015-10-13,34548961,Mary,"My daughters and I enjoyed our stay in this cute Austin house. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location with easy access to University of Texas, downtown Austin and the SoCo area. We really appreciated the ease of checking in and out of the property, of accessing the wifi and of obtaining a quick response from our host when needed. We would definitely choose to stay here again."
4134085,22951989,2014-11-18,3877960,Julie,"The location was really great, the house was spotless, came with just the right amenities and the hosting company was extremely helpful. We couldn't have dreamed of a better place to stay for our trip to Austin. "
4134085,23507846,2014-12-02,8225294,Brian,"Staying at this little white house off So. Congress was paradise.  I'm not exaggerating.  The house is perfect... open - kitchen & lvg rm connected making our T-day dinner wonderful; quiet - the neighborhood is idyllic; comfortable - the bed was one of the best I've slept on; perfect location - literally steps away from the great restaurants & shops (not to mention Allen Boots) of SoCo; and most importantly, Erica and her team are in contact with you as the date grows closer making sure you feel welcome and everything is easy.  A+ stay in every category."

4134085,31455899,2015-05-05,30504650,Kristina,This home was just as described and the location could not be beat.  The couch and the beds were super comfy. Master bed was amazing!   The decor was beautiful and stylish yet simply and cozy. I was so happy staying here and would stay again for any future trips.

4134085,35820495,2015-06-22,2880656,Eva,"This place was the perfect house for a girls reunion weekend! The location is right in the heart of the South Congress district. We rented a car, but quickly realized we really didn't need it since most of the stuff we wanted to see was within a 5-10-minute walk.

The beds were really comfortable and easy to share. There is only one bathroom, but that didn't turn out to be an issue, even for 5 women.

Erica was great with her communication and instructions, and the place was in great shape when we arrived. I already want to book this place again!"

4134085,41075574,2015-08-04,6046463,Keith,"The house is exactly as presented. The location is nearly impossible to beat for exploring South Congress...right on the corner. Even with that prime location and a bedroom facing the street, there were no noise issues at all! The large backyard was private and great for our dog. Loved this house!"
4134085,50676520,2015-10-13,6390195,Chris,"We stayed 4 days in October for ACL and had a great time. Location is fantastic and very close to all the restaurants/bars/food trucks on South Congress. (South 1st street is walkable as well). The house was very clean, nicely furnished, and does look exactly like the pictures.  

Beds are extremely comfortable, and the house was furnished with everything we needed for the weekend. Appliances are new and clean, and the A/C works great. 

Communication from Erica was extremely detailed and made the trip very easy. I would definitely rent this house again, and will look to do so again next year when we travel back to Austin. "
321857,892982,2012-01-30,654275,Fabian,"Note: this review is for the room listing, not the full condo. They used to be the same listing, but I can only rate on this one. Still great! :)

Operation: Austin. Mission: Success! This condo is the real deal—not a single detail was overlooked in the amenities, hospitality, and location. I decided to spend the weekend in Austin following a conference for work. Chris was eager to point out the best the city has to offer (and all within walking distance). The condo is impeccable and its host is flexible, generous, well-natured, and always has a tale of good times up his sleeve. I felt completely safe coming back late at night on foot and running in the morning around the neighborhood. Thanks to Chris, I made the most of Austin in one weekend, and I look forward to seeing him and this great city someday soon."
321857,949243,2012-02-26,1578531,Sean,"The condo is amazing and super conveniently located right downtown.  Really easy access to the new East Side 6th street strip of bars.  Parking is indoors.  You have access to a pool, hot tub, gym, and complimentary coffee bar.  Chris is an amazing host and really easy to deal with.  There is even a daily garbage valet that picks up at the door of the actual condo.  Couldn't recommend it more.  PERFECT FOR SXSW.  6 people can easily stay there comfortably."
321857,986071,2012-03-10,325204,Preston & Cameron,"Chris couldn't have been a more gracious host. He and his girlfriend baked cookies and made breakfast during my one night stay during sxsw.

The apartment is awesome. It overlooks downtown Austin, is spacious, clean and well decorated, and also conveniently located. Great common areas, gym, etc..

Chris himself is a very intelligent and interesting guy with some great stories to share. Strong recommendation!"
321857,1006009,2012-03-17,1628633,Nick,"I honestly can't speak highly enough of this place. The location for SXSW was perfect. It literally made everyone we talked to jealous. The apartment was huge, and really comfortably furnished. Chris was one of the most accommodating hosts I've met. He made us feel extremely at home, and thought of everything in terms of what we'd need for our stay. 

This is probably the perfect place to stay if you visit Austin, especially for SXSW (unless I come back next year :P )"
321857,1023332,2012-03-20,701036,Ethan,"Chris was an excellent host and provided a great place to stay for SXSW (not to mention stocked food and drinks for our arrival).
The condo is clean, comfortable and spacious and also has great views of downtown and the capitol building. 
I found everything in the listing to be completely accurate and highly recommend the stay. "
321857,1061198,2012-03-30,1781700,Jessie,"Chris was a great host! He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had and gave us many wonderful recommendations for restaurants, touring stuff, and night life. His condo was perfect and spacious, close to everything, and we felt really safe.

"
321857,1172042,2012-04-23,2133542,Nicholas,"This apartment was fantastic.  It was spacious and had plenty of room for several people to sleep.  The location was ideal.  We walked to many of our destinations, including the incredible Franklin Barbecue.  The host was quite generous with the space and extremely flexible with our schedule.

Top Notch."
321857,1188910,2012-04-27,1134715,Michael,Thanks so much Chris. Everything was awesome!
321857,1202180,2012-04-30,2058659,Bryan,"Chris' condo is awesome! Its a 5 minute walk to 6th street. 2 Minutes to stubbs and the food carts, and only a $20 taxi to the airport. Both bedrooms are very comfortable and fully furnished as is the rest of the condo. The best part is that you get access to a gym and pool/BBQ area to enjoy during the day. Chris was also helpful with suggestions and was extremely hospitable. For a large group that wanted more than conjoined rooms this was great."
321857,1385943,2012-05-30,2421453,Wael,"This apartment is great, very clean, fully furnished and close to downtown (within walking distance - maybe 5 to 10 minutes). We were 7 people and were all very satisfied and comfortable in Chris' apartment: 2 beds with 2 people each, a couch and 2 air mattresses.

It was my first time using AirBnb and i'm extremely satisfied, definitely beats getting hotel rooms."
321857,1617283,2012-07-02,2745146,Staci,"I had a great stay at Chris's apartment!  He has amazing views of the Austin skyline and his apartment comes with garage parking (huge plus since we drove in from Dallas).  Taxi to downtown was very inexpensive ($5).  We even went down to the building's pool for a few hours and enjoyed a nice swim (people in the building were friendly and nice, too).  Franklins is right next to the building and reportedly has the best BBQ in the world right now (the line stretched around the building).  My boyfriend and I met Chris for the initial key and info exchange and he seems like a very nice and great person, too.  We're very grateful for the hospitality and to have had such a nice place for our weekend stay.   "
321857,1798900,2012-07-25,2806869,Meleni,"The apartment is wonderful, as are the facilities in the building.  So great to have a pool and a fitness suite on site with a better selection of equipment than you find in most hotels.  Chris is a wonderful host and can't do enough to make your stay a comfortable one - even going out of his way to lend us his bikes.  Spotlessly clean and spacious.  High speed internet makes working there very easy.  The beds in the rooms are really comfortable offering a great night's sleep, but it took a couple of nights to get used to the road noise.  It was all worth it though for the great positioning in Austin with easy walking access to 6th Street's bars, restaurants and coffee shops.  The apartment is also really well located for downtown, the main highway and the airport. Secure parking meant we could relax and leave stuff in the car overnight.  All in all a great stay.  Thanks. "
321857,1909987,2012-08-06,1231354,Louis,"Chris has an awesome place in an unbelievable location. It's easy to walk to everything in the downtown area and the view from the apartment is unbelievable.

Great pool!"

The condo was very clean and comfortable, it was 5 of us that stayed and we all had a place to sleep. Chris is a great host, he made us feel at home! he left some waters and drinks for us in the fridge(which we really appreciated!) and if we needed to talk to him it was really easy to get a hold of him. Overall it was an excellent stay!"
321857,2255683,2012-09-10,3433973,Sonia,Chris' place was an excellent pick.  It was conveniently located downtown.  Walking distances from many fun attractions.  We really enjoyed the stay.
321857,2299953,2012-09-17,2571670,Ursula,"Great space - my young family felt at home in Chris's comfortably appointed condo.  Location is ideal for walking to 6th street nightlife, as well as a easy walk to Texas State Cemetery or the French Legation museum/grounds for family friendly time.  It is well located for easy freeway access, making all of Austin just minutes away.   There is some freeway noise, especially on the balcony, but nothing that is disruptive to a pleasant stay.  If you have a toddler, I highly recommend Butler District Park with it's delightful splash fountain, only a 7 minute drive!

Chris was very accommodating and responsive to our questions throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend/family and would be happy to stay here again in the future.    "
321857,2370769,2012-09-22,3280869,Conor,"This place had amazing views of downtown. Clean, comfortable and spacious.

Chris was absolutely amazing to work with. He met us at midnight because our flight got in late. He even had groceries waiting for us when we arrived. Stubbs bbqand several restaurants are a 10 min walk right in downtown. I recommend to anyone. "
321857,2538171,2012-10-08,2465479,Lauren,"Chris was a great host.  The apartment was just as pictured.  Plenty of space and walking distance to 6th St.  Chris made us feel comfortable and we had a fantastic stay.  

Only note is that the apartment is right next to the highway - which is very convenient, but it does have a great deal of traffic noise.  It did not keep us (or our 20 mos old daughter) awake, but it definitely was there. 

Would gladly recommend Chris and his apt - will look him up again if we are lucky enough to return to Austin. "
321857,2603948,2012-10-14,3368335,Diane,Chris was a wonderful host -  he was friendly and welcomed us warmly. He knows the city well and is happy to give some helpful tips. The apartment is very central and suited all our needs (party of 5) - pool tables and fitness were a nice pluses! Thanks Chris!
321857,2671925,2012-10-21,3609917,Jane,We had a wonderful weekend in Austin. Chris was the perfect host and did everything he could to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Above and beyond. The apartment was great and the location was perfect to the downtown area. Everything within walking distance to enjoy all that Austin has to offer. The view of the city at sunset was amazing. Would definitely stay there again.
321857,2745276,2012-10-29,71661,Carrie,"This apartment is AWESOME super clean & great view of the city!!! Has all the comforts of home, real comfortable beds, wifi, cable, etc.  It is within walking distance of 6th St. night life and the UT campus.  Chris was a wonderful host, great communication, check in/check out was simple and easy to understand, I would definitely rent his apartment again!  Thanks so much Chris!"
321857,2785592,2012-11-02,898045,Chris,"Chris was absolutely great in getting us situated in Austin. The 2-br condo is spacious and well-appointed. The view of downtown Austin from the east cannot be beaten, especially during sunset. The building is huge so it's best to come in through the south side, which made it easy at night after coming home from 6th St. I'd stay at Chris's place again. Thanks!"
321857,2840807,2012-11-08,3991293,Kenneth,Amazing..  Couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay in Downtown!
321857,3093345,2012-12-15,239429,Ike,"Christian was a great host, his appt has a great location and is priced very well. We were 2 of us and thus the 2 BR/2BA was very comfortable, beats any hotel. I highly recommend Christians place and him as a host!!"
321857,3139458,2012-12-23,104875,Jessica,Wonderful experience here! Christian is a fantastic host and was available to answer any questions I had quickly.  His 2 bedroom apartment is spacious and squeaky clean.  The location was perfect and the amazing view of Austin was a plus. Thanks Christian!
321857,3304013,2013-01-07,4506920,Howie,Christian was a great host.  Easy and friendly to communicate with and his place was exactly as advertised.  I would definitely stay at this place again next time I'm in Austin.  
321857,3335094,2013-01-12,1169437,Bryan,Great experience.  The apartment is in a great location and as presented.  I will stay again when I return to Austin.  Christian was a pleasure to work with and responded to any questions we had promptly.  
321857,3434398,2013-01-28,7184217,Julia Et Michael,"Chris accepted my last minut request. I got the flat perfectly clean and ready very soon. Chris was also very friendly and willing to help for anything. The flat itself is great, good view, very central."
321857,3450025,2013-01-31,4274523,Kevin,"Christian and his place were amazing. He took my reservation very late and last minute on the same day and for that alone gets 5 stars. On top of it, the apartment was top notch, the view of the city skyline could not have possibly been better. I don't have a reason to stay anywhere else in Austin next time."
321857,3478976,2013-02-04,3751603,Randy,We planned a last minute trip to Austin and didn't book until the night before. Christian responded very quickly and was flexible to meet our needs. The place was very neat and a prime location in the heart of downtown Austin. I would definitely recommend staying here for your next trip to Austin.
321857,3515309,2013-02-11,4653652,Laura,"This was the perfect place to stay for 7 college friends celebrating turning 30. It beats a hotel where we would have been split up between rooms. Staying at Chris's allowed us to have the comforts of home with the feel of luxury. It was walking distance to a ton of bars and restaurants, which made exploring Austin so much easier. Chris was super accommodating and offered up a ton of suggestions of places to check out during our stay. We would definitely stay here again. This was our first airbnb experience and we were impressed!"
321857,3616291,2013-02-26,4159385,Maryam,"Really nice place with everything we needed for the weekend. We definitely appreciated the nice linens and towels. The loud noise from the highway took a little adjusting to, but other than that everything was great."
321857,3636538,2013-02-26,5098033,Aleks-Jan,"This was my first time using Airb2b and staying at a strangers place. Overall my stay at Christian's was good with commuting to and from the airport and into downtown a snap. The place has fantastic views and a very cozy common area with great couch/chairs and TV.  In addition, Christian was very friendly and attentive.  

Perhaps it was because of the timing of my stay (Monday - Friday) but the toilette's could have used cleaning and the tops of everything some dusting.  Please note this place is right next to the highway and the windows do not do a good job of softening the noise."
321857,3683614,2013-03-04,4664528,David,"Great experience, great time.  Highly recommended."
321857,3779125,2013-03-14,3972263,Nitya,"This was a great location for us during SXSWi. 

Really close to the convention center and conveniently located to other things. 

Christian was good about answering all our questions along the way."
321857,3991696,2013-04-01,3541889,Jesús,"The apartment is spotless, it has a great location that allows you not only to be downtown in a few minutes but also to walk to the newer restaurants on the East. We would totally recommend staying at Christian's place. He is a nice, warm host that will pay attention to all of the details that customers require. "
321857,4029734,2013-04-03,1286519,Jackie,"nice place, clean. easy. great location. Thanks!!"
321857,4229989,2013-04-20,671475,Ben,Great location by 6th street. 
321857,4264846,2013-04-23,4661218,David,"Christian's apartment is very convenient to downtown, the airport, and highway access. Also, it is convenient to the Lady Bird Trail which leads to Town Lake Park (beautiful).

The apartment is well appointed and comfortable. 

Christian Left us with local magazines and papers to help us plan our visit to a great city. 

Christian was accessible but left us to ourselves - which was great. We all agreed we would stay there again. "
321857,4344666,2013-04-29,5787773,Maria,"Christian's place is amazing! 8 of us were in town for a bachelorette party and we had the best time. Most of us girls need lots of space, and there was plenty of it! The location was probably the best part, and the view was gorgeous! We will definitely be coming back again, that's for sure. Thanks for everything, Christian! "
321857,4620511,2013-05-16,1583459,Amy,"The apartment has a great location and is well appointed.  Six of us were quite comfortable.  Chris was out of the country at the time, but his friend George was very helpful and accessible.  The only negative, which is only a temporary situation, is that there was absolutely no closet space since Chris is in the process of moving stuff from another location and it was all stored in the apartment.  The only other negative is the proximity to I-35 so there is a quite a bit of traffic onoise at night.  Would definitely recommend it to others and would stay there again."
321857,4687019,2013-05-20,6137016,Faraz,Great place to stay at!  Its close to downtown (walking distance to most bars).  Chris's place was clean and hospitable.  Great view of downtown.  Definitely a better choice than a hotel.
321857,4829576,2013-05-28,5363090,Elizabeth,"Generally speaking the apartment was a convenient place to crash for a fun girl’s weekend in Austin. The apartment was a decent size for a two bedroom (though not big enough for a group of 7), and Christian was very responsive during the booking process and only a text message away if needed.  We could see certain personalities enjoying this apartment, but this was not what we were hoping for. We had the impression the apartment was a vacation rental, but the apartment was actually Christian’s primary residence (maybe our fault for not clarifying) in a huge residential complex. The bedrooms were extremely cluttered with boxes and duffle bags; closets were full of boxes, books, and an extra mattress; other personal items cluttered up the living room and there was leftover food in the fridge. While the apartment appeared to have clean sheets and a plethora of clean towels, the apartment was not nearly as clean as a hotel would be.  There was a layer of dust on most of the furniture.  The worst offense though was that the showers were not cleaned and he left considerable amounts of bath products in them such as loofahs and a squeegee. All of this could be fixed by a good scrub from professional cleaners. 
While east Austin was definitely walkable from the apartment, it was farther than we had expected based on the write up (and not something you'd want to do in heels!). The write up of the apartment was misleading in other ways.  The write up proclaims that there is a fully stocked beer fridge, but fails to mention it is not for visitor use.  Also, Christian boasts that he leaves breakfast for his tenants; in reality this included a half empty carton of orange juice and a couple of eggs.  This is not breakfast.  
We had an amazing time in Austin, but would not stay in this apartment again.
"
321857,5051552,2013-06-10,1543251,Nada,"The apartment was at a fantastic, unbeatable location.  We were able to fit 10 girls in there, as Chris supplied a few air mattresses.  None of us in the group had been to Austin before, and Chris was great at introducing us to the city when we first checked in.  He was so generous and let us use the kitchen supplies, and had a lot of extra towels and bedding so that we were all comfortable despite being so many in the space! The apartment has a lot of stuff in it, so do not expect lots of room. The condo is in a complex with a pool and a gym, so we could lay out and work out if needed, which was great. Chris was extremely responsive and everything went perfectly smoothly! Thanks so much!"
321857,5217642,2013-06-18,6438190,Manhar,This was my first time using Airbnb and I will definitely be doing it again.  I recommend it to anyone who might be hesitant.  Location was great and Christian was very helpful.
321857,5301064,2013-06-23,5677648,Eva,"Overall the apartment is nice - in a cool building with great views.  We stayed with a group of 8, which was tight in the apartment.  I would say 6 is probably the max.  Christian was responsive in booking the room and waited for the first group to arrive until late in the night, which was appreciated.  The location is good - walking distance to the heart of sixth and easy access to 35. 

The only complaints were with the cleanliness and preparedness of the apartment - I did not arrive first, but was told it didn't look like it had been thoroughly cleaned before arrival.  I noticed dust and some disorganization, but there were clean sheets and towels, so ultimately I think it was fine.  Additionally there was no toilet paper or batteries for the mattress pump, both of which had to be purchased. 

All in all, it was good for a large group of young people looking to explore downtown Austin!"
321857,5643076,2013-07-09,6878335,Michael,"Christian was a fantastic host! His place is large and clean, and the apartment building has a lot of amenities like game room, pool, gym, etc. My friends and I were in town for the July 4th holiday and he was also helpful with recommending activities. Highly recommend! "
321857,5760403,2013-07-15,6457282,Kassie,"My friends and I had a great time staying at Christian's place.  He was very helpful even when we the new management gave us a hard time at the pool.  He took care of it and we were able to return the next day.  I would definitely stay there again, the location was fantastic."
321857,5921485,2013-07-22,5891243,Gabby,"We had an amazing weekend in Austin! Christian's condo was roomy and had wonderful views. The place was clean and had plenty of extra sheets and towels. Christian was a great host that provided us with plenty of guidance. He was very quick to respond to any questions we might have had. 
We would definitely return. "
321857,5997333,2013-07-25,2940931,Celia,"Chris' apartment is absolutely lovely and really central. It has everything one could possibly need. 

Chris is a lovely host who made our overall experience very easy and absolutely hassle free. 

I would highly recommend staying here!"
321857,6263571,2013-08-05,2265855,Mark,"Had a great time at Christian's place in Austin. Great host, had everything ready to go when we arrived, even left us some beer in the fridge. Perfect location for heading out downtown 6th, rainey st, etc. Would stay here again."
321857,6419185,2013-08-12,6543109,Alex,"Great location, fit our group comfortably, and Christian was very accommodating of all of our requests! A great place to stay."
321857,7024701,2013-09-03,8073886,Siobhan,Great apartment and great location! Will definitely stay here again! 
321857,7335446,2013-09-16,7913649,Aditya,"This is a wonderful apt w/ excellent proximity to everything you'd want to do/see in downtown austin. The apartment is spacious, clean and fully stocked. Highly recommended. "
321857,7932900,2013-10-08,9095281,Lorenzo,"Christian was flexible with check-in and his apartment was just as described—very clean, comfortable, and within easy walking distance of all of Austin's downtown offerings."
321857,7970830,2013-10-10,7809822,New,"Great stay two nights. Christian very welcoming and flexible. Anticipate traffic sounds, but you get used to that quickly. Highly recommend."
321857,8314166,2013-10-25,2678441,Alanah,"Great place, great location, great host! 
We had a great time in austin and it was mainly due to this lovely apartment. Huge, airy, light and clean!
Close to downtown.  Walkable from almost everywhere.
 The host, Chris, was amazing! Great communication!"
321857,8372381,2013-10-28,8564775,Linda,We had a bachelorette party in Austin and we had a great time! The location was great for going out and Franklin's BBQ (the best BBQ ever!) is literally steps away! There was a great view of the Capitol Building as well. Great experience!
321857,8525479,2013-11-04,8998424,Margot,"My girlfriends and I had a great stay at Chris's apartment in Austin. There was plenty of space, a great view of downtown, and it was an easy walk to 6th street.  Chris was very hospitable-- he gave us great recommendations for restaurants, nightlife and nearby activities."
321857,9003037,2013-12-01,9859619,Patty,"I cannot recommend staying at this apartment.
It was not clean:
There was black dust falling off of the ceiling fans and oozing out of the air vents.
The shower had not been cleaned and there was a black hair ball on the shower floor.
The coffee maker had molded coffee left in the filter holder.
The building is currently being treated for mold.
My adult son found guns under his bed.
There was no place to hang out clothes because the closets were jammed full of stuff.
Carpets were filthy dirty and had not been vacuumed.
We chose not to spend much time there and tried to contact someone at airbnb.  This was not an easy task, they don't make it very easy to find a customer service phone number.  I finally was able to contact them when I arrived home and they sent me an email request for my opinion.
Never again!
"
321857,9106281,2013-12-07,9543904,Renee,2 of my sales reps stayed at Christian's place for a convention in Austin.  They said the place was nice and clean.  Very convenient to the convention center.  I booked the apartment on their behalf and the process was easy.  It helped my company save a lot of money by booking an apartment where there were 2 rooms for separate couples to stay.  We would stay with Christian again.  Thanks!
321857,9220992,2013-12-14,1279093,Will,Wow nice place! 
321857,10032898,2014-01-27,3055512,Amy,Great location and plenty of space for six of us. Christian was easy to get in touch with and even came by to bring us a new air mattress! Great experience!
321857,10355335,2014-02-15,6238947,Jim,"Christian has been extremely patient with me. I'm still relatively new to airbnb, and if that wasn't bad enough, my trip had to be cancelled due to a crazy east coast snowstorm. Christian has been very reasonable about the whole thing and made resolving the issue totally painless. So this isn't so much a review of Christian's actual place (which I'm very sorry to have missed) as it is a review of interacting with Christian. He's a chill, laid back, but also efficient guy. Recommended!"
321857,10710254,2014-03-03,12654908,Ben,"Christian has to be best host I've ever met.  Totally loved the place, and was very hospitable.  Location is perfect, apartment was nice, amenities were great. Just an overall great experience.  I definitely would stay here again without a doubt.  
Highly recommend it.

Ben "
321857,11355275,2014-03-31,12358906,Kellie,We had a great girl's weekend in Austin. Christian's place was awesome. Everything was super clean and the location was excellent.
321857,11736912,2014-04-14,11342878,Kristina,"Loved it! Thanks Christian, we had a great time. Great location and nice place :)"
321857,12410572,2014-05-01,4987514,Jon,"I've been to some AirBnB rentals that were just hotels. Others were pretty much empty or minimally furnished apartments. Christian's felt like we were in his home. It showed his warmth and personality. And for our trip, which included going to Stubb's, it was perfectly situated. If you choose his spot, ask him about the picture hung up by the TV :)"
321857,12559776,2014-05-05,6800798,Trond,We had a great stay! The apartment is very nice. It provides you with everything you might possibly need and it has a great location (with a nice view of downtown Austin). Christian was an excellent host.
321857,13626633,2014-06-01,370878,Shelly,Christian's apartment is in a great location to explore the east side and downtown. It's very spacious and was perfect for my two coworkers who were visiting Austin. 
321857,13884249,2014-06-07,14661736,Si,"We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. Christian was accommodating with our arrival time and absolutely generous with his space. We were walking into town each day to the Austin Convention centre, probably 15 mins, stopping in at any of the breakfast places on the way. Back in the apartment we had everything we needed to wind down after a long day."
321857,14172595,2014-06-13,16464853,Andy,Great vacation at Christian's place. Very nice over looking downtown on the 3rd floor. Christian was great and welcoming. He even provided beer and wine. I would recommend bringing air plugs if you are sensitive to noise at night. The apt is a few blocks from 35. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Christian!
321857,14314426,2014-06-16,13859321,Kristopher,Christians place truly is awesome!  He was a great host and went out of his way to ensure that we had everything we needed during our stay.   Perfect location for enjoying Austin's nightlife.  We were able to walk everywhere and enjoy a great view of the city in the evening from the balcony.  I would recommend Christian's place to anyone wanting to spend time in Austin. 
321857,14623377,2014-06-23,12767766,Brian,"Just got back from our 3-night stay at Chris' place.  Had a great time in Austin due largely in-part to a great host, great place, and its great location(walk to everything DT).  If we ever go back to visit I will definitely try to stay there again!"
321857,14995442,2014-06-30,16811558,Eric,"A group of friends needed a place to stay for our weekend trip to Austin. Chris's place was the perfect location because of its proximity to downtown and town lake. The apartment itself is really spacious. Chris wasn't able to meet us when we got there, since he was out of town, but he made sure we were accommodated, and made check in and check out super simple. We were able to easily contact him if any issues arose. Chris was very accommodating with the reservation itself since we had people drop out from our group. Even though it was short notice, he was able to give us a refund. I would totally stay at Chris's place the next time I got to Austin. "
321857,15169347,2014-07-04,12435059,Carolyn,"Our stay at Christian's apartment was great!  The complex was quiet and safe and clean.  The best part about it was the fact that it was so close to so much.  We walked to lunch and then later walked (about 5-10 minutes) to 6th street.  Christian was a wonderful host, providing us with clean sheets and towels and an inflatable mattress, which we used.  He even left wine for us!  Unfortunately, the air conditioning broke while we were there and, while it was an uncomfortable inconvenience, Christian was easy to reach and got the problem fixed as quickly as possible.  Thanks, Christian, for making our stay in Austin a good one!"
321857,15284815,2014-07-06,17205946,Amanda,"Christian's place was everything we needed and more. Cute, cozy, clean, and close to everything! Chris was beyond helpful with absolutely everything we needed. Can't thank you enough Chris; we had a GREAT time!"
321857,15358127,2014-07-07,5291717,Robert,We had a nice stay at Christian's apartment.  It was clean and as advertised. We would stay again.
321857,15476657,2014-07-09,9527659,Mike,"Chris was a great host for us. His apartment was fantastic for 3 guys to share and filling up the fridge with beers for us was a great touch. Could not recommend this place highly enough. More then enough room for 3 guys and could no doubt handle more. Location was an easy walk to 6th Street and just up the road from Franklin BBQ if you can handle the long queues.
Thanks for making our stay in Austin so easy for us."
321857,15712697,2014-07-14,17176183,Ben,My first time using airbnb and Christian made it simple. It was a really nice apartment a few blocks right across from 6th street and downtown. Christian was out of town but was able to accommodate our group of 11 with many towels and beers in the fridge and 3 additional air mattresses. 
321857,15940238,2014-07-18,17636199,Malina,"This was an amazing place to stay in Austin. Christian's has everything you could possibly need. We loved it so much that we spent almost our entire second day inside! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do, and the apartment was comfortable and welcoming."
321857,16283700,2014-07-24,1929951,Stanley,"My experience was great.  Even though Christian was not in town at the time of my stay, he made it very easy.  The place is great, was in a very convenient part of town, and the bed was very comfortable.  I highly recommend stay here.  "
321857,16909959,2014-08-04,15860311,Trevor,"I stayed with chris for 5 days with 3 people. Lovely place to stay and only 5-10 minutes to 6th street which was great. The pool and gym was also a great facility to have access to. Chris was always on hand to help out with anything we needed also. The only bad experience we had was when we arrived, the directions were a little off so it left us outside in the heat for 3 hours awaiting directions. Besides that had a great experience and would def stay again. "
321857,17854620,2014-08-18,15105379,Swati,"Christian was a great host! He gave us tons of recommendations and was a great resource throughout the trip. The place is comfortable, clean, roomey, and in a great location for what Austin has to offer. We definitely enjoyed our trip and even more so because of staying here."
321857,18325770,2014-08-25,18132730,Benjamin,"Christian's apartment was perfect for my buddies' bachelor party weekend in Austin. From there, we were able to easily walk to the various establishments on 6th street or pick up a cheap Uber to other parts of the city. When we arrived he set us up with everything we needed and offered some great recommendations for lunch. Highly recommend!"
321857,18730239,2014-08-31,5310252,Britney,We recently stayed at Chris’ place for a girl's weekend.  We had plenty of space for 5 of us.  Cabs/Uber were very easy and fast to come by.  The location was great (within 5 miles of everything we wanted to do).  HEB was right down the road for essentials and a liquor store around the corner.  The place was clean and the bed sheets were amazing.  It was a fun trip!  Thanks!
321857,19706893,2014-09-16,7487326,Alejandro,"The location is great, and so the appartment, Chris went above and beyond at arrival answering our call at 2:30 AM!! On the down side the wifi network never worked although we reported it immediately but no biggie. Would stay again without a problem. Kuddos to Chris!"
321857,19821579,2014-09-19,11221964,Tim,"I will preface my comments by saying that I own a vacation rental property and I have been a property manager for a vacation rental agency, so I have a different viewpoint than many airbnb users.

Overall, this apartment was not what I expected.  I anticipated a vacation rental, but this situation is actually Christian's personal residence, which he vacates during rental periods.  However, the apartment still contains all of his personal property and all drawers and closets are full.  My sister and I traveled to Austin on business and we were looking for a hotel alternative.  Rather than feeling like renting home, I felt like I was housesitting for a stranger.  It definitely felt weird having someone else's clothing, toiletries, food, mail and other personal items throughout the property.  The freeway noise is also very pronounced, but I got used to it after the first night and was able to sleep.

In the end, the apartment served its purpose because it was close to our meetings downtown and was clean enough, but by no means hotel standards.  Christian is a very likable guy, which helped overcome our initial discomfort.  The only other issue is the internet did not work throughout our stay.  Christian provided alternative networks to connect to, but they were unreliable and I had to tether to my phone and use my cellular data plan.

My advice to others considering renting this apartment is as follows:  If you are comfortable staying in someone else's home or are comparing shared quarters vs an exclusive use, then this is going to be a great place for you.  If you are a clean freak, neat freak, OCD, or looking for a hotel-like experience; you will not be satisfied with Christian's apartment."
321857,20174721,2014-09-24,20194055,Joacim,"Christian was a really nice, very helpful in introducing Austin to us. The place was a clean, very nice apartment with all amenities you could ever want. It's located just across the highway with 6th street and the ""hipster"" neighborhood of the east side in walking distance. The view from windows and balcony features the Austin skyline. Very much recommended!"
321857,20734670,2014-10-05,15046422,Sam,"Chris was a great host, and everything was delivered as promised.  The apartment itself was extremely accommodating and had everything we needed for our stay there.

I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a place in Austin."
321857,21809284,2014-10-24,73758,Jennifer,"Christian was great.  He made sure he was in touch before I checked in, and helped me find my way to the condo.  For some reason, Airbnb had an address different from the actual address.  I imagine Christian and Airbnb are figuring that out together.  The place was big and well equipped, the bed was really comfortable, and it was great to have a bath in the big bathtub. One thing another reviewer mentioned was the road noise.  I doubt this will both most people.  I am very auditory so it did bother me. I'm only mentioning this because it's something that Christian can only fix with a major investment in triple pane windows which I wouldn't expect an Airbnb host to do.  Of course, if he did, he'll probably mention in the description.  Notwithstanding, I would definitely recommend this place at this price. "
321857,22263952,2014-11-02,22733256,Mary,"Christian was a great host!  Very personable and friendly. He met us at the apartment and went over all the info we'd need to know for our stay.   The description of the apartment is accurate with regards to the amazing views of downtown Austin and its amenities; however,  as other reviewers have shared, the apartment balcony overlooks I-35 which has constant traffic noise.   We happened to be visiting Austin over Halloween eve, so the emergency vehicle sirens were a constant all night long on I-35---including one major accident just below the apartment which backed up traffic for hours.    Because the 2 garage parking spots are located quite a distance from the apt, Christian suggested we park on a dead-end side street.  This was much more convenient and we felt our vehicles were completely safe, as was the neighborhood since we walked to restaurants, etc.    One other issue we had was with the tenant below.  He played the bass on his stereo loud enough to feel vibration in the floors, and this went on for several hours during the day and up to 3:00 in the morning.   We tried to reach Christian to ask if this had been a problem in the past and how he handles the situation, but didn't get a call back for several hours.  In the meantime, my husband had to talk with the tenant, who turned it down only temporarily.    Overall, Christian's apartment well-suited our needs and the price was right, but renters should be aware of it's direct location overlooking I-35.   I guess it's a tradeoff for the amazing views of downtown Austin.  "
321857,22454214,2014-11-07,9442610,Andrew,Christian was a great host and very accommodating.  The listing was just as he described it and very convenient.  Our group had an excellent time and would book again in the future.
321857,22539632,2014-11-09,7622712,Eric,"Great 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment, plenty of space, great kitchen. Nice view of downtown and easy to walk or Uber around town. Christian met my parents when they came in and made them feel welcome."
321857,24504586,2014-12-29,7927585,Sarah,Great spot. Handy to downtown. Chris very welcoming and accommodating. Would definately stay again
321857,24758850,2015-01-02,22937649,Wasim,"We were a group of 4 friends looking to meet up for news years EVE in Austin and we absolutely enjoyed our stay at Chris's apartment. It was exactly as described in the listing and the photos. It had an awesome view of downtown Austin and the skyline, the apartment itself was spacious and comfortable, can easily accommodate 4 people. It's within a walking distance from all the hot spots of the city and i am not only talking about 6th street; staying on the other side of i-35 made us discover cool bars and restaurants around that area that we would have never discovered haven't we been staying there. Chris had to catch a flight at the time we were checking in, however he stayed in touch with us through out his flight to make sure everything goes smoothly, and it did. I'd definitely recommend staying at this place for anyone looking to enjoying everything there is to enjoy about Austin. 
"
321857,25558498,2015-01-19,19475703,Joel,Chris was exceptionally accommodating.  I arrived early with friends and he was able to arrange for me to have access early.  The place was exactly as advertised and was clean for our arrival.  The location is perfect.  Close to absolutely everything we wanted it to be near to.
321857,25886834,2015-01-28,24034868,Bill,I stayed at Chris's place on a recent business trip to Austin. The place was really clean and just on the edge of the city making it easy to get to around. Chris went out of his way to make us feel welcomed and had suggested a few spots to go while in town. I will definitely check availability to stay here again if I am back in Austin. 
321857,26190222,2015-02-06,17733760,Corey,"We had a great one night stay at Chris' apartment! He met us at the place a little bit early so that we could drop off our bags, which was greatly appreciated. Everything in the apartment was clean and tidy, and had everything we could have needed. The apartment was very convenient to downtown, and we were able to walk to a great restaurant and a bar with live music in the east Austin area (5-10 min. walk). The neighborhood appeared to be safe, and we felt very comfortable walking around at night. Chris also checked in with us over the course of our stay to make sure everything was going well. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this apartment and Chris as a host! Thanks so much! "
321857,26273146,2015-02-08,9238069,Jamiel,Awesome apartment in a great location. Communication with Chris was very easy. Also only 2 min walk from one of the most amazing BBQ places in Austin (Franklins). I would def recommend staying here.
321857,26902682,2015-02-22,15444628,Emily,"Chris and his place were both great! We had a large group of ladies in town for a group weekend and we had a lovely time. He met us promptly and gave us a tour of the place and a few helpful hints about the city that after the weekend we realized were SPOT on. 

The apartment was clean and spacious with plenty of room for the 8 of us. The views of the city were amazing. A few minor hiccups were fixed very quickly and Chris was extremely responsive throughout our stay. 

Overall we found the area great and very close to everything. We didn't really find the city that walkable in general so we Uber'd everywhere with extremely short ETAs throughout the weekend from his place. 
 Definitely recommend!
"
321857,27275163,2015-03-01,2899158,Ken,Chris' condo was awesome!  He was very welcoming and spent the first 15 minutes of our arrival sharing his favorite restaurants and local spots.  The condo has tons of space and is a very short drive to downtown.
321857,27575058,2015-03-08,9551767,Shyanie,"Chris was very great with communication! He contacted me a few days before our stay and gave us all the information we needed. He was out of town during our stay, but his friend Claudia was awesome! She met us upon arrival, gave us a tour, and explained the best place for Uber to pick us up. The complex was easy to access with great street and garage parking. This apartment is very central. Chris's apartment is very spacious! The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms had plenty of space to get ready.  There were 8 girls in our group and we were all very comfortable! Chris answered all of our questions promptly. We absolutely loved staying at Chris's place! Highly recommend!!!!"
321857,28122928,2015-03-18,5745282,Yohei,"Great location.  Great room.
On arrival, we had to wait about an hour to get key, due to the delay of cleaning.  Except for that, everything was perfect.  Chris is helpful and response quickly.  Location is great.  The room and equipment is excellent.  I would love to stay here next year."
321857,29232205,2015-04-05,30225263,Arthur,Chris is the best. This was my first time in Austin but with Chris's help it felt like home. The apartment is great. It has everything and anything you could need. It's not fancy but it sure is comfy. The location could not be better. A ten min walk to anywhere and just far enough out of town to have some peace of mind. Franklin's BBQ is one block away and that could not be understated. 
321857,29728343,2015-04-12,15104848,Thimal,"Chris was very nice and flexible with all of our requests, picking up and dropping off keys, and leaving us with all the necessary info we needed for our stay.  We had an excellent time at his place, which was just large enough for the amount of people we had for the weekend.

The place has an EXCELLENT view of the city and it was extremely easy to walk down under I-35 to 6th Street and downtown in general.  The complex is safe and walking around at night was no problem at all."
321857,30630236,2015-04-25,30518419,Lisa,"The apartment was perfect for us, so close to the city and convention centre as well as great places to eat and chill out. Loved the view to the Capitol too. Chris was so helpful and friendly throughout our stay so we really felt at home whilst away from home. Our trip was just too short!"
321857,31333806,2015-05-04,4323625,Arthur & Ed,"Chris is a fantastic host: Excellent communicator and very willing to assist in any way. His apartment in Austin is great: Spacious, clean, and very well located. All in all, our stay at Chris's was ideal. We'll definitely book with him again when visiting Austin!"
321857,31840024,2015-05-10,10020060,Siddharth,"Chris's apartment was the perfect weekend get away for our group. Great location, very clean as in pictures and had all the amenities we needed. Short walk to all the good spots yet away from the loud noise. Would love to come back here for a longer stay."
321857,32393783,2015-05-17,3726329,Sridatta,"I stayed at Chris' 2 bedroom apartment in Austin for a weekend and had a wonderful time. Chris was very helpful and accessible, and checked in multiple times during our stay. The two bedrooms have full sized beds and there are extra air mattresses available. The entrance to the building/apartment is a little hard to find but Chris was very patient with giving us directions. The apartment is about a 10 minute  cab/Uber ride away from bars and restaurants. Overall, I had a great stay and would definitely recommend Chris as a host!"
321857,32783321,2015-05-21,1748436,Trey,Location is amazing. You can hit downtown Austin or hipster East Austin with in minutes. Chris was very responsive and helped us whenever we had a question.
321857,32863789,2015-05-22,27508361,Jackson,Chris was an awesome host! He was super helpful throughout the whole process and the place is exactly as it seems in the description! It  is an extremely spacious apartment and would stay there again for such a great value. 
321857,33073964,2015-05-25,2097148,Alexandre,"Overall we had a great stay in Austin!
Here is my objective review of some of the key points of our stay:
Chris was very friendly, the place is extremely well located (we walked everywhere, 6th St, East 6th St,Rainey St but also all the best BBQs in town) , the appartement is clean and the neighborhood feels safe and nice. Chris was also kind enough to accommodate a late checkout, as well as a last minute group headcount change! 
Some things to note though.
First, the place is definitely not fit for more than 4 people, 6 stretch max. We were a group of 10 (the listing says for 10) and that is definitely not appropriate. The place feels very tiny for more than 4/6. Chris provided air mattresses but half of them were pierced and people ended up sleeping on the floor. We also only had one front desk badge for the whole stay, very hard to coordinate a group of ten. Secondly, it has proven also a bit hard to get in touch with Chris at times as he wouldn't respond. One of our group member had to wait 45min in the rain with no word from Chris before he could get they key.
Overall would definitely stay there again but with a much smaller group! "
321857,35028303,2015-06-14,18282130,Christine,"We stayed in Austin for the weekend and stayed at Chris's place. He was extremely welcoming and friendly from start to finish. Although we had 9 people and the condo was only a 2 bed/2 bath it was spacious enough for all of us to have a place to sleep with extra air mattresses (provided by Chris) spread theoughout the living, dining, and kitchen areas. He also provided enough sheets and towels for all of us. The only caution I have for prospective renters is that the apartment is right near I-35 and you can definitely hear the highway noise at night if you are a light sleeper. The location is AMAZING though- close to pretty much all central Austin attractions and great food options!"
321857,36069718,2015-06-24,26752793,Jade,"The place is very lovely.  Extremely spacious.  The 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are on opposite ends of the apartment so there is a lot of privacy for those who are staying in bigger groups (I was by myself so I really had more space than I needed).  Fantastic views.  It's next to the highway, but with the windows closed (and it's hot out so you wouldn't have the windows open anyway) you dont hear a thing.  
There is also a balcony with a view of the city.

Chris kept the place very clean.  I highly recommend.

 "
321857,36924902,2015-07-02,36134359,Alicja,"What an amazing place and you could not ask for a kinder and more attentive host!
The apartment was beautiful, perfectly located and had the most incredible view!
I would highly recommend staying here when visiting the great city of Austin."
321857,38012449,2015-07-12,27985180,Tiffany,"The apartment is in an excellent location. If what you're looking for isn't within walking distance, it's just a short drive or Uber to all the great spots in Austin. Everything we needed was taken care of. Chris was so accommodating and thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. "
321857,47693054,2015-09-21,40332950,Marius,"We stayed here while attending a Texas football game. This place was as advertised - very spacious for the four of us. Location is great - 10-15 minute walk from 6th street nightlife and even closer to awesome BBQ (Franklin is around the corner, but ended up not braving the line and went to Micklethwait a few blocks down the street instead). Chris was very accessible and even pointed us to a good pre-game tailgate spot. Overall, great experience."
321857,49543565,2015-10-04,45170717,Adam,"The apartment was in a great location and it was just as described. The place was very clean and we didn't have any problems with anything at all. Chris is very accommodating and a great host, and he really helped make our vacation a great one!"

Leading up to the reservation and during our stay Jessica was very communicative, helpful, and friendly. The house itself is amazing and spacious! The sound system installed throughout the house, the projector, and the cozy porch were great features and offered a nice little retreat from the mayhem of the SXSW conference. There are a lot of cool little bars in the area, and a short bike ride (about 9 minutes) or a $5 uber to the Austin Convention Center.  My two colleagues and I were very comfortable and happy with our stay and would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks to Jessica and Donovan for sharing your home!!"
4189369,20875108,2014-10-06,21743134,Marileigh,"My first AirBNB experience was at Josh and Ashley's place. My friend, brother and I fit comfortably and had all the accommodations necessary for our weekend. We attended ACL and were within walking distance of many attractions and food. Transportation to and from this location is simply available. Also Josh and Ashley worked with us and were flexible with our arrival and departure which made our weekend even better. We are very thankful to have found their place and to have them as a host. Their apartment is perfect for a weekend getaway. "
4189369,21967391,2014-10-27,5608036,Amit,"Great place, great location, super convenient to South Congress/downtown, easy walks to both.  Josh and Ashley were quick to answer any questions - would stay again in a heartbeat."
4189369,22342575,2014-11-03,23067904,Michael,"We stayed over Halloween weekend to attend the F1 race and associated festivities.  For our needs the apartment worked out great.  It is clean, secure, and centrally located with Sixth street and Fan Fest activities just a short walk away.  The apartment is a perfect fit for a couple.  Additional guests can use the provided air mattress, which works fine, but might get old after more than a couple of nights.  Other benefits include secure parking, WiFi, and a nice coffee shop downstairs.  Josh and Ashley provided clear directions and instructions, so we had no problems with logistics."
4189369,25581057,2015-01-19,3799898,Blake,"We had a great time in Austin, made even better by Josh and Ashley place. It was very clean and tidy and in a great location, only a short stroll around the corner and we were on SOCO, the heart of the action. 

Town Lake was only a couple of minutes the other direction. We brought out bikes with us and did a loop of the lake, which took a couple of hours. It was really nice to have such good things to see and do so close to where we were staying. 

The communication and key pick up / drop off was very easy and Josh was very responsive and good to deal with. 

We ended up forgetting an iPhone charger and josh contacted us about it and then posted it to us, which was very nice. 
"
4189369,26322234,2015-02-09,11166836,Lola,"Josh and Ashley were amazing hosts! They were great at communicating and were very accommodating to the fact that me and my friends were going to be coming in later than expected. The apartment was clean and exactly like the pictures and description. It's also in a great location, close to all the cool things Austin has to offer (and they have free parking!) This was my first Airbnb experience and it is definitely going to be my go-to next time we're in town. Thanks for the great time Josh and Ashley!!"
4189369,26626690,2015-02-16,26852072,Jack,Josh and Ashley made us feel very welcome in their apartment. They left us fool proof directions to get in and out of their complex and overall were very accommodating. The apartment was very clean when we got their and we felt right at home. Their apartment in Austin is in the most perfect location. Walking distance to the great shopping and eating on SoCo as well as a short drive to Zilker Park and the downtown attractions. This was our first AirBnB experience and because of Josh and Ashley we will definitely be back to use this service in the future.
4189369,28072726,2015-03-17,8653898,Sandy And Jen,"Great host. The place was amazing, and Josh was super attentive to our needs, and genuinely wanted to ensure we had a great stay. I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat."
4189369,29348586,2015-04-06,22908282,Dawn,"Josh and Ashley's place was fantastic!   It was clean, well-equipped, centrally located and quiet.  The location can't be beat!  In the heart of everything! 

They were wonderful before and during the process and were responsive and helpful. It was a great surprise to walk into their apartment.  Again, it was extremely clean (a huge thing for me) and had everything we needed.  We had full access to the fridge and pantry and immediately felt at home.  

A & J left little ""love notes"" describing the logistics of the space which were very helpful. They also had books with Austin tidbits and tips. This was absolutely my best AirBnB experience and I will definitely stay again!  

Thank you!"
4189369,30331026,2015-04-20,1835473,Emi,Ashley and Josh were very friendly and responsive. Their apt is walking distance to the center of town. Be sure to cross the bridge and look at the bats around sunset on your way to dinner. We didn't take advantage of the rooftop or the pool but I'm sure they would make a longer stay more fun. And I'm extra thankful that we were allowed to do early check-in and late check-out with a nominal fee. It helped make things much easier.
4189369,34576466,2015-06-09,34476443,Jack,"Josh and Ashley were very flexible and helpful in coordinating check-in/out times, and the place itself was perfect.

The apartment itself was very clean and well appointed. Can't beat having 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms. All in all, very glad that we chose to stay in this property."
4189369,52894437,2015-11-02,22263122,Chris,"We had a great stay at the South Congress Apartment!  The apartment was very clean, comfortable and set up perfectly to make us feel right at home.  We were a group of 3 and the apartment was very spacious for us.

The location is very convenient to the South Congress neighborhood along with downtown, and is just across the street from the Butler Bike and Hike trail along the river/lake.

Josh was a great communicator and I would highly recommend the apartment to anyone looking to stay in Austin.

1623007,18873671,2014-09-02,3746677,Alex,Great place!  thank you!
1623007,19900456,2014-09-20,20947304,Andy,"The house was great for our group of 5 while we attended our event at the convention center.  Not a bad walk but probably too hot in the summer. Lawrence was a gracious host and checked in to see how we were doing. The house is old but clean, well appointed and taken care of.  "
1623007,21361426,2014-10-15,19752196,Zichao,"Larry's place is the foundation for our amazing experience in Austin. 6 of us stayed cozily in his conveniently located house. We truly appreciate the opportunity to stay at Larry's. Also, talk to Larry if you are interested in technology! "
1623007,21594846,2014-10-20,8993206,Josh,"Larry was a great host and this house was great for our group of 7.

Larry was very accommodating of our group's schedule for the weekend and  met us at the house to show us the details (he was extremely friendly). Everything was as-described and he was kind enough to provide a floor plan ahead of time, which was helpful when figuring out where everyone would sleep.

The house is in a great location, with plenty of privacy and quiet. There was enough room in the driveway for two cars to park off the street, but we really didn't need them, as you're a quick walk to downtown, Rainey Street and plenty of restaurants on the East Side.

I would definitely stay here again and/or recommend it for anyone with a small to mid-size group."
1623007,21830908,2014-10-25,102146,Clemencia,"Larry's house offers an excellent place to enjoy the best of Austin! We were a large group and Larry had arranged the house perfectly well for our comfort. When we arrived we found a bottle of wine, excellent coffee, bread and other breakfast stuff--all of which made us feel truly welcome. The house is comfortable, with lots of natural light, an open space for socializing in its open kitchen/living/dining rooms and enough rooms to guarantee everyone their privacy. One of the best assets of Larry's house is its location. While it is very close to downtown, 6th street and the UT campus, it sits on Austin's East Side, most likely the most interesting neighborhood at the moment. Our first day there we walked to Liberty Bar, and on the way encountered so many interesting eateries, tiny bars, cafés, food trucks, art places--all which makes Austin such a fascinating city. "
1623007,22348707,2014-11-03,11346504,Aaron,"Lawrence's house was clean and well maintained.  It was a 5-10min walk to the bars and restaurants on East 6th Street.  We had a great time exploring the area.  

Lawrence was easy to coordinate with and a nice guy.

There were some quirks with the light switches and a couple of the electrical outlets."
1623007,22587789,2014-11-10,21724752,Marie-Audrey,"This place was so cozy and accommodating! This house had gorgeous inviting art and wood floors. It is a short walk to everything! Very quiet and safe. The owner left staples for all 10 of us (kurig cups with different kinds, fresh tea from Whole Foods, berries, cheese, wine, yogurts, eggs, chocolate) and the towels were fluffy too. You can tell the owner took great pride in letting us stay there and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the things we needed while charming us with the little notes to help ourselves, where the light switches were, and which drawers we could use for storage.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who loves to stay local while checking out cute little neighborhoods along the way. This place exceeded our expectations!"
1623007,25357468,2015-01-13,21653409,Chris,"The house was perfect for my team and I.  8 of us stayed in the house and it was very comfortable.  Close to all the amenities and quiet.  On top of that, the host was amazingly hospitable.  "

Great house, great host, great hospitality.

Everything you want in an Airbnb host!"
1623007,26320346,2015-02-09,4363637,Robert,Great house and great host.  Walking distance to Rainey St and 6th St entertainment areas.
1623007,26978245,2015-02-23,4392069,Steve,"Larry was a great host, making sure we had everything we needed and  even left some beers and snacks in the fridge. The rooms were just as advertised, and the beds were comfy. Great location in E. Austin that was pretty close to 6th Street."
1623007,27316189,2015-03-02,11044820,Daniel,"Larry opened up his home to us and was very accommodating. He left very clear instructions, which made it easy for us to get into the house late at night after flight delays. He left us fruit and snacks and the house was comfortable. Location was great for rainy and sixth street night life."
1623007,27755443,2015-03-11,2909379,Rachel,"This house was great!!  We were in town for SXSW and it was comfortable, roomy and super convenient to the convention center.  Lawrence was a fantastic host - made sure we had everything that we needed and out stay was fantastic. "
1623007,28157190,2015-03-19,2909379,Rachel,"We had a great stay.  We ended up in town longer than planned, and did two back-to-back stays at Lawrence's house.  Everything was fantastic, and it was great to have so many beds - so that we didn't have to share.  The house is super cute, historic, and we'd stay again in a heartbeat.   Lawrence USA great host - and everything went well"
1623007,28781640,2015-03-30,26123991,Pavan,"Lawrence was a very kind and accommodating host. He was always available for if and when we needed him, including late into the night. Lawrence's efforts made our trip to Austin a wonderful experience. Don't hesitate to consider Lawrence's residence as your temporary home when you decide to visit Austin, TX."
1623007,29253886,2015-04-06,252371,Daniella,"Larry went above and beyond to make his place cozy and kid friendly for us. He was gracious and thoughtful, and he was even cutting fresh flowers for us upon our arrival. 

The location is pretty great. We enjoyed being walking distance from 6th street, and there's a playground a block away. The neighborhood felt very safe at night as well. 

The house itself is pretty true to its description. It's worth noting that there is no couch in any of the common spaces; wooden chairs and a wooden bench only. It would have made gathering more enjoyable with a couch."
1623007,29812041,2015-04-13,24253911,Jeffrey,"I just rented Larry's place this past weekend for a bachelor party with 5 other friends, and everything was fantastic.  The room was exactly as described, the location was convenient, and Larry made sure that we had a great stay by proactively reaching out to us ahead of the trip to make sure that we had plenty of beer and snacks waiting for us.  I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others."
1623007,30287239,2015-04-20,27337010,Kelly,"My friends and I stayed at Larry's house for a fun bachelorette weekend in Austin.  Location was great and the house worked out very well for us.  We were a group of 10 girls and while it was cozy, there was plenty of room for all of us.  Larry was a great host and left champagne for the bride-to-be and breakfast items for all of us.  "
1623007,30758623,2015-04-27,26411495,Sheena,"Stayed here with a group of girls and it was perfect. Larry was a wonderful host, incredibly hospitable! He welcomed us on our arrival, showed us the place and even left cute little notes for us around the house. Everything was in great condition, the house was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked. It is in a  great quiet neighborhood, but really close to all fun stuff downtown. "
1623007,31290786,2015-05-04,19792300,Madeleine,"The house was beautiful, clean, quirky, incredibly comfortable, and convenient to all kinds of great restaurants and bars. There were seven of us there for a relaxing bachelorette weekend and the accommodations were more than spacious enough. Larry was extremely welcoming and helpful - he left some groceries, ample towels, and instructions about how the house worked. He even left a bottle of cava for the bride! An incredible weekend - I would happily stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. "
1623007,33224240,2015-05-26,26689153,Stephanie,"This was a perfect place to stay for our girls trip to Austin.  We loved every minute of it and there was plenty of room.  Our host was so kind and courteous. He reached out to me first to make sure we knew what to do when we arrived.  Larry even offered to pick us up at the airport. Once we got there he had gone out of the way and there was snacks and drinks left for us to enjoy.  We had plenty of room, towels, and he has a great backyard which we enjoyed one afternoon to sit and catch up.   You will not go wrong with this house.  It's in a great location.  We walked to Rainey street several times to enjoy the chill bars and awesome food trucks.  It was a $5.00 uber trip downtown.  Definitely a must for your next trip to Austin."
1623007,35201526,2015-06-16,28841002,Ryan,"I just rented Larry's place this past weekend and everything was great. His hospitality was exceptional. The place was as described, the location was convenient, and Larry made sure that we had a great stay, stocking the fridge with beer and snacks. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others."
1623007,47662788,2015-09-21,20371837,Christoph,Three friends and I stayed here for the wknd so each had their own room which was ideal although it could easily accommodate six or more. Lawrence was a great host and provided a lot of free breakfast food although we went out to eat for the most part. Great location close to Rainey and Sixth St nightlife as well as some great BBQ joints. No complaints at all and would definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks Lawrence!
1623007,48504092,2015-09-27,11850761,Marc,Awesome place! Great communication with owner and an all around great experience.
1623007,49772220,2015-10-06,15480867,Mallory,"Lawrence is an absolutely wonderful host! The house was perfect for our party of 6 as we headed to ACL. It was clean, spacious and he provided us with everything we could have thought of from coffee to cereal. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here if you want a quiet house close to the fun and excitement of downtown Austin! Thank you Lawrence!"
1623007,50624031,2015-10-13,8690511,Aaron,"Larry was at the house when we arrived to greet us, show us around, and lead us to the fridge he had stocked with some beverages and food--extremely welcoming!  The house was in a great location, easy to walk to all of the East Austin bars/restaurants and easily accommodated our group of six for a long weekend in Austin.  I will definitely look to rebook at Larry's house when returning to ATX."
1623007,51285337,2015-10-19,41632996,Emily,Larry stocked his home for us with food and drink. The place is artistic and cozy and wonderfully located. There were 6 of us and we were all comfortable. He made himself completely available for tips and suggestions and we couldn't have been more pleased with the entire experience of staying there. Thank you Larry!
1623007,52204355,2015-10-27,2832961,Sean,Amazing location with a nice clean house. The house was amazingly stocked as well with Lawrence being a great host preparing the house for us. Looking forward to renting it again next year
5607238,28110258,2015-03-17,11938733,Jeremy,"Nice little place. Not too far from downtown and very cozy. Probably not best for two grown men (colleagues) as we did, but that's our mistake. "
1454030,21227110,2014-10-13,21261673,Yoonjin,"Simel was a great host. Very helpful - met up with me to hand off keys, introduced me to the woman who runs the retail space, and even got us an extra key because we had a lot of people. Because the space is in the back room of a retail store, there's someone looking over it during the day. Walking distance to lots of restaurants and easy parking. There is only one bathroom, but we made it work. We had 6 people on two queen mattresses (inflatable), but were comfortable."
667769,2629904,2012-10-16,3386360,Theresa,"We stayed here for ACL.  Great location.  We just took a short walk to the bus stop and hopped on the bus that took us straight down Lamar.  Geoff was very accomodating and made sure that our every need was taken care of.  The house is very clean, welcoming, and had anything and everything we needed.  Geoff had beer waiting for us, breakfast food and much more.  He had easy, simple house instructions and was super friendly.   He was very flexible with our arrival and departure time as well.  As an added bonus, Maria's Taco Xpress is right around the block, which has amazing breakfast tacos.  "
667769,2922361,2012-11-19,4121154,Mocha,"Nice home in a great location. Very cute house, everything you could ask for with ease of access to freeways and great food as well. I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
667769,3185722,2012-12-30,3953931,Roy,"Our week-long rental for Christmas worked out PERFECTLY. The central Austin location off South Lamar was convenient to all the places we needed to go. Close to a Randal's, Central Market, Target, loads of great restaurants, and main highways. The house is clean, bright, and well equipped for hosting a few guests... we served 12 for a Christmas Day lunch of prime rib with all of the traditional festive fixings. We had 5 adults and a two-year old grandson staying, all very comfortable with a single bed to spare. Lots of daytime guests. Lots of kids toys in the loft kept a few kids busy and happy, never a dull moment! Christmas lights outside and a decorated tree made it just about like ""being at home for the holidays.""  Parking is tight and limited but was sufficient. Neighbors and nights were quiet and peaceful.  ""Cooking in"" saved us lot$$ compared to eating out all of the time, and was much more flexible for all. It was a great choice for us."
667769,3794611,2013-03-16,4264569,Jennifer,"Geoff and his family were very accommodating throughout our trip. The house is located in a convenient area close to downtown, just a quick walk to the famous taco spot! Our party enjoyed our stay!"
667769,3816425,2013-03-18,4752367,Kim,"Me and a group of 11 stayed at Geoff's house for a weekend. We had such a great time...the location was a steal! We went to the local bars which was about a 5 min drive and downtown which was 10-15 min drive. We also went kayaking/canoeing at Lake Zilker which was 1 mile down street! Couldn't ask for a better location. The house was beautiful and fit 12 people comfortably. This was my first time renting through airbnb and Geoff was an outstanding host. Very patient, informative, and accommodating to all my needs. He provided a welcome basket w/ goodies, beer & wine, and he even stocked the pantry and fridge full of food for us! The house came fully furnished and Geoff had extra air mattresses if we needed them. Thanks to Geoff, this Austin trip was unforgettable ..best birthday weekend ever!"
667769,8793828,2013-11-18,147529,Kenneth,"Geoff's place was wonderful. Clean, nice, everything was set out nicely for us. As advertised. It was easy to communicate with Geoff to get access to the home and the home was in a very convenient location. We would definitely stay here again."
667769,9033165,2013-12-02,6591320,Mary-Margaret,"I booked Geoff's place for my family to stay during Thanksgiving. The house was exactly what they needed and was just like the description. The location is great and everything is accessible, but it's also nice and tucked away in a great neighborhood. Best of all, it was VERY clean and had every utensil and kitchen appliance to have a great thanksgiving dinner. "
667769,9441399,2013-12-29,263390,Craig,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Geoff's home over Christmas.  It is in such a wonderful location relative to the fun things to do in Austin (5 minute walk to the bus and short ride to downtown) and the house is wonderful.  Geoff was very easy to work with and very responsive.  When we arrived we were happy to see that their home was decorated inside and out for Christmas, which made our stay away from our home that much easier.  The welcome gift basket was great too!  I would highly recommend staying with Geoff when available and hope to do so again in the future."
667769,20838094,2014-10-06,20909840,Vicente,We had a comfortable stay at Geoff's house for the first weekend of ACL 2014. Geoff was very quick to respond to all my questions prior to the trip and he even asked us what kind of food we'd like for him to stock in the refrigerator. The house was clean and accurately described.
667769,28069039,2015-03-17,667018,Richard,We have been at Goeff house during the SXSW. It was a perfect as it was close to the venues. Geoff and his family have been a great host. We really appreciated our stay and the surroundings. Geoff even organized something to eat for us so that we did not had to organize it by ourselves after arriving from our long trip. Thank you for everything! I highly recommend it.
667769,28212149,2015-03-20,27707975,Michael,"Everything was exactly as stated in the description. Geoff's house was very clean and ready for us to enjoy our time in Austin. We all had a blast at SXSW and would come back in a heartbeat. The house was located really close to downtown, which was perfect since we had to use Uber and pay for rides. It worked out perfectly and I am pleased with the ease of everything. If you want to check out Austin, I would recommend trying to rent this house from Geoff, you will not regret it. Well worth the money!"
667769,49587737,2015-10-05,19249613,Chris,We rented for the 1st weekend of ACL. This place was so convenient to bus stops and comfortable slept 6 of us! Geoff left us some craft beer and breakfast which was perfect for our arrival. The house was spacious and the patio was nice to sit out on. This house turned out great for our group! 
667769,50427031,2015-10-12,31733997,Judy,"Yes we felt welcome, the neighborhood was fine. The house was spacious. The house has a water pressure issue that needs addressing. I brought it to Geoff's attention, and he kindly took $70 off the bill. 
Before it gets rented again, it does need to be sprayed for insects. It could also use a coat of fresh paint inside. It is showing signs of being rented."
5447513,28450088,2015-03-23,14439664,Ipsa,"I was visiting Austin for the weekend of SXSW and Beth's space was ideal. It was away from noisy, boisterous downtown area, but still close enough (15 mins drive) for when I wanted to go downtown. The neighborhood was peaceful and residential and close to a lot of restaurants, and grocery stores. 

Beth and Brian were warm hosts and made my friend and I feel welcome on our arrival. They even gave us a lot of recommendations on where to eat, touristy things to do, and places of interest to visit. They also have a very friendly cat Mika who is peaceful, minds her own business and is hardly in your way if you don't want her to be. Beth and Brian were kind enough to let us use their kitchen, pots, pans, and utensils, and also their television. 

All in all it was a very comfortable stay. The room is exactly as it appears in the pictures. The mattress is super comfortable and the room is very cozy. The bathroom was very clean and well equipped too. I would highly recommend this place, especially if you have a car to get around."
2418647,14251423,2014-06-15,9649131,Kat,"I stayed in Lorna's guesthouse with my husband and 5-year-old daughter for my birthday weekend. From the moment me arrived, we felt so welcome as Lorna and her children showed us to the guesthouse, told us a little bit about the neighborhood and gave us some good tips on where to eat and what to do. Our daughters played together in the cute little playhouse on the property and had a great time. The guest house is very tastefully decorated, clean and has everything one could need during their stay. This is a great family-friendly property and I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!"
2418647,14538689,2014-06-21,10967785,Jackson,Fantastic stay. Place was immaculate. They provided a great welcome package for out of towners. The instructions for Uverse didn't end up working though.
2418647,14708201,2014-06-24,16438032,Colby,We stayed here with our kids for a weekend wedding trip to Austin. Lorna and Zach were really terrific and very accommodating. The guest house behind their home was perfect for what we were looking for. It had plenty of space and was just recently renovated. We couldn't have been happier with out first AirBNB experience and felt fortunate to have such great hosts!
2418647,15969049,2014-07-19,16969203,Heather,"Lorna and Zach were extremely welcoming to my family as we rented their space for 21 days. The space itself is warm and cozy, my two kiddos loved sharing the room downstairs. The area around the house is full of amazing restaurants and local hot spots - you can't go wrong with a nice glass of wine and dinner while the kids are playing at Central Market. Our hosts were accessible, friendly, and provided a great place for us to be as we transitioned to a new house. I would recommend this property for anyone coming into Austin for a visit, or even for a local just wanting to try out a new area. "
2418647,16514557,2014-07-28,9079921,Brittany,"A friend and I rented the house for a girl's weekend in Austin and it was perfect. Not only was the house extremely clean and tidy (a must for me) and well decorated but it was in the perfect location (central Austin) and Lorna, our host, was extremely sweet and welcoming. She also recommended Pacha (right down on Burnet) and it was fabulous. I would recommend her and her place. "
2418647,16775045,2014-08-02,16441465,Allison,"The house was beautiful! It was warm and welcoming, and the location was perfect. Lots of good Austin restaurants near by. Lorna was super sweet and accommodating. My friends and I stayed here for the days leading up to my wedding and it was the exact experience I was hoping to get-comfortable house, fun things to do, etc. Absolutely recommend staying here!"
2418647,16936676,2014-08-04,28689,Brian And Megan,"What fabulous place to stay in one of the best parts of the city! Lorna was a great host, the apartment is beautiful and very comfortable, and it was the perfect fit for my husband and I and our two young kids. It's hard to find a kid-friendly rental in central Austin, so if that's what you're looking for, look no further! We'll definitely be back."
2418647,18619196,2014-08-29,2767320,Sara,"We loved staying at Lorna's house! It was perfect for our first 3 weeks after moving to Austin. Great location, clean house that's well equipped, sweet family, great margaritas!"
2418647,18791144,2014-09-01,16474244,Katherine,"This airbnb experience reminded me that I just need to move back to ATX already. Lorna and her family are the most wonderful hosts and the location of their listing couldn't be better. Walking distance from some of my old favorite haunts and eateries (like Uppercrust Bakery and Taco Shack) and an easy drive or bus ride to the heart of downtown or the water. The rooms were very clean and the perfect size for our group of four. Thanks to the large fridge, we were able to pick up a few of our favorite ATX foods and sips from around town and have them for snacks throughout the weekend. We didn't have time for cooking, but we could have easily done so thanks to the well-equipped kitchen. Lorna and her family were always on hand or a phone call/text away if we needed anything and were ready with great local suggestions for restaurants and activities.  We came to town for a wedding and though the related festivities were fun, we wished we could have spent more time hanging out on this listing's little porch in the evenings with a beer in hand and some chips and salsa. We will definitely be back again soon!"
2418647,19843954,2014-09-19,19163605,Kristin,The space was fantastic for myself and two coworkers on a business trip. A quiet neighborhood with tons of great food choices!
2418647,19990759,2014-09-21,5702035,Nadja,"Lorna's house was perfect for a quick weekend trip. All appliances and furniture were brand new, and the accommodations were really comfortable! I would definitely stay here again, and am recommending her house as a great spot for my guests to stay when I get married in Austin in January. "
2418647,20221258,2014-09-25,1918256,Melanie,"We drove into town and booked this space under such short notice - I was delighted with how quickly Lorna got back to me!  

It's a beautiful space, very clean, spacious, cute modern design, in a very nice/safe neighbourhood.  

Lorna was beyond helpful with suggestions on places to go in Austin.  Would def stay here again! :)

"
2418647,20842442,2014-10-06,15818301,Smart Revenue,"Lorna was a great host! The house was spic and span and so comfortable to stay in. Part of our group was in the carriage house as well, and it was the perfect set-up for us. The location is excellent as well, and Lorna was so kind to leave behind great suggestions for the area, as well as instructions on how to use the TV--which were very appreciated. :) We would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
2418647,21411265,2014-10-16,22543897,Adrian,We loved where we stayed and our hosts were warm and friendly.  Lorna brought over some cookies to make us feel welcome and our babies played together.  Overall we were extremely pleased with our experience.   
2418647,21510702,2014-10-19,13077507,Stephanie,"I cannot rave enough Lorna and her beautiful property enough! We recently had a girls weekend in Austin with a total of 12 staying at Lorna's property. We rented both the main house and the guest house, and it was perfect. The places were so clean and equipped with everything we might need! The location was great and convenient for everything we wanted to do (which included winery tours with a driver, great dinners/brunch, night out, etc.).

Prior to the trip, I communicated quite a bit with Lorna, and she was always very responsive. She would answer any question within an hour, and was willing to help in any way possible. 

When we arrived at the property, there was a welcome sheet for us with suggestions of restaurants, house rules, etc. We referenced this sheet quite a bit and found it very helpful. 

The fact that 12 women were able to comfortably fit within the property amazed me. There were plenty of beds! There was more than enough space in the common areas. We never had an issue with bathrooms either since there were 3. I highly recommend Lorna's property for anyone needing a getaway weekend. She can easily accommodate small groups and large groups alike. 

I think all 12 of us will remember Lorna's place for our next trip to Austin, and I definitely plan on going back at some point. Thanks for everything Lorna!!"
2418647,21883223,2014-10-26,17022185,Michelle,"Everything was arranged well for our arrival.  We had young kids and Lorna had a pack and play, high chair, toys, etc that were already set up.  Lorna was helpful and offered quick responses.  I definitely recommend and would stay again if ever in Austin."
2418647,22519794,2014-11-09,7654969,Jonathan,What a lovely home!  The stay was absolutely perfect for our family.  Lorna keeps the place spotless and we had a very cozy stay.  It’s situated in a great location in a great neighborhood.  We would love the opportunity to stay there again!

I highly recommend this place in the future and hope to stay there again."
2418647,26254141,2015-02-08,25814551,Daniel,"Can’t say enough great things about our stay at this adorable cottage – comfortable, clean and convenient! The location in Central Austin is perfect – great family friendly neighborhood, very easy to get around, and lots of Austin’s best restaurants and shops nearby. Lorna was a great host and available if we needed anything at all. We were traveling with our 1 year old son and she had everything ready for our arrival – pack n play for him to sleep, high chair, baby gate and even toys – it was so convenient! She even had organic baby food and a bottle of wine to welcome us when we arrived. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and I’m very particular especially when traveling with our baby. Can’t wait to plan our next trip to Austin – would love to stay here again."
2418647,26987034,2015-02-23,25638656,Kenneth,"Lorna made us feel at home immediately we agreed to stay there.She was extremely accommodating in setting up the stay and explaining her 2 options  .The main house or the newly renovated well furnished cottage/garage apartment.We were able to easily get the key from her-more accommodations and kindness and she was only interested in us being comfortable and happy with our stay.The kitchen bathroom an bedrooms were all spotless and well maintained.We were able to come and go easily and parking at the back of the house in the lane was easy.We loved the small outside patio ,but the wether was cold so only a few hours spent up there.The heating and TV worked well.Full instructions how everything works and how it should be left once we left were helpful.Lovely area  too to stay in close to Central Market and fun places."
2418647,27582895,2015-03-08,26317374,Christopher,Everything went well. The house was perfect and very clean. Lorna was an excellent host. I will definitely look to see if this place is available when I come to Austin next.
2418647,27762106,2015-03-11,26762426,Crystal,Lorna was an excellent host. The house was beautiful and she was available for any questions that I had. We felt we had complete privacy during our stay and the house was in a very good location. We could do a lot of tourist attractions and were not a long driving distance away.
2418647,27914445,2015-03-15,23030244,Sci,"It's a pleasure to write this review.  Our company team stayed in this lovely home for 4 days during SXSW.  Lorna was a fantastic host.  Very attentive and accommodating.  The house is very modern, and beautifully appointed.  Bedrooms plentiful, and comfortable.  The location was just far enough outside the city center to provide a quiet retreat after a days meetings, but close enough to get us into the heart of the action with a 10 minute drive.

Setting up the booking was painless.  Lorna is a great communicator, and had some wonderful recommendations for exploring the neighborhood.

Our team loved staying here, and we would absolutely do it again.  

Highly recommended!"
2418647,28176841,2015-03-19,20473251,Seth,"I had a great experience here. Lorna is a great host, and the guest house is sparkling clean, modern, and quiet.  It's in a great neighborhood in suburban, Austin, too, with a lot of great options for dining and coffee.   First class accommodations, and I'm sure I will repeat--SXSW 2016, here I come!   Highly recommended. "
2418647,28953780,2015-04-01,29126802,Kevin,"I just finished a wonderful stay with Zach and Lorna.   Their rear cottage was big enough to accommodate a family of 4.  The cottage was tastefully decorated, clean, and fully equipped. It even had a full size washer and dryer so guests can pack light. The 2nd floor deck was awesome (great for morning coffee) and the Central Austin location was perfect.  Check in was a breeze and the owners were very attentive with communication prior and during the stay!  This place is definitely a must if you need to stay in central Austin. "
2418647,29214714,2015-04-05,29744211,Annie,Lorna was so accommodating and friendly. The space is super clean and fresh. Loved staying in a neighborhood instead of a hotel. It was nice having our kids in their own bedroom downstairs while we slept upstairs. Highly recommend the Steeping Room for delicious tea and a light meal - within walking distance. Make a reservation on busy weekend mornings! 
2418647,29833795,2015-04-13,28226744,Steve,The property was as advertised.  Very clean and well taken care of.  We were very happy with our stay in Lorna and Zack's Central Austin Cottage.   
2418647,30021101,2015-04-16,2869472,Lupe,Lorna is an excellent  hostess. She answered all of my quirky questions in a quick manner. 
2418647,30131135,2015-04-18,11853868,Kerry-Ann,It's a beautiful well cares for house.
2418647,30389750,2015-04-21,28526745,Alyssa,"Lorna was a gracious host and welcomed us warmly and was very responsive. There was a severe thunderstorm one night that knocked out power in the neighborhood and she texted me to make sure we were okay. The apartment cottage is very nicely remodeled, was very clean and comfortable. We could felt very at home and the street was very quiet and safe. We also liked that we could walk to many restaurants from sushi to tacos. It could not have been a more pleasant experience. It was also a great place for us as we were traveling with our daughters. They were able to share the second bedroom. "
2418647,30756468,2015-04-27,25822604,Melanie,Lorna was an excellent hostess and her home is a dream! She quickly responded to all communications before our trip and the information left guests was clear and very helpful.  I would recommend Lorna's home to anyone looking to spend some time in Austin and would absolutely stay here again.
2418647,31891928,2015-05-11,12500636,Bettina,"Lorna's guesthouse is a real AirBnB gem. The house is perfect for a family with 2 kids, but also worked well for us, we were 4 adults. Plenty of space and a nice kitchen so you can leisurely prepare meals and enjoy them on the balcony. The hosts are very friendly, accommodating and helpful. Highly recommended!"
2418647,32354436,2015-05-17,30800190,Hoyt,Check-in process was flawless and the property was just as advertised.  A very comfortable and nice place in a great neighborhood.

I loved the neighborhood – it was a great area, convenient to where we needed to be and had great, unique restaurants within walking distance.

"
2418647,35548614,2015-06-20,11123639,Hannah,Lorna was a very friendly hostess and the description of the accommodations was accurate. Lorna was attentive to my text messages throughout the week.  The neighborhood is quiet and there are many commercial areas that are unique and family friendly. Great restaurants and services nearby.
2418647,36389200,2015-06-28,28319874,Bethany,"Lorna was a great host! She provided really useful information when we arrived, allowed us to host a bridal shower at her home (while making use of her platters, etc.), and she has a beautiful home. What you see is definitely what you get, and we enjoyed our stay!"
2418647,37226985,2015-07-05,5032958,David,"Our stay was simply perfect. The guesthouse is spacious, clean, comfortable and has everything (and even more) you need.
Lorna and her family are really friendly and helpful so communication was very easy.
And we loved the neighborhood - wonderful quiet with great restaurants and lots of young families.
We will be back soon!

2418647,38878005,2015-07-19,35731703,Cooper,We had a great visit.  House was beautiful and the hosts very welcoming.
2418647,39894785,2015-07-26,37735187,Jennifer,"Lorna and her family were great and super sweet! My husband and I stayed here with some family (ranging from 18-39) and we all felt VERY safe and comfortable. This house was absolutely gorgeous and although it's smaller than the main house, we did not feel crowded. This house is bright and airy. This is a perfect place for individuals, couples and families! You will not regret staying here!! :)"
2418647,40711012,2015-08-02,2680543,Kathryn,"What a truly lovely space! It looks brand-new. Tucked behind a residence, this cottage includes all the amenities as specified on the list. I can't underline enough how charming the space is, but also how nicely laid-out: the two bedrooms are distant enough so everyone has their privacy, and the outdoor porch gives a perfect perch for AM coffee. Lorna could not have been nicer, more welcoming, or more available for questions. Quiet, clean, pretty. Highly recommended1"
2418647,41822979,2015-08-09,38801717,Diane,"Lorna met us at the house.She is warm.friendly and explained everything/. Charming,cute,very comfortable house
Only probles,iy's a little hard to open and close the front door"
2418647,45940621,2015-09-07,35740868,Amy,"Loved our stay!  Great location, close to everything. Had everything we needed. Highly reccommend!"

2418647,49436253,2015-10-04,15445514,Jodi,"Wonderful home! Bright, comfortable, hosts very helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend this house. "
2418647,50458060,2015-10-12,13564281,Alex,Myself and 6 friends had a wonderful experience staying in Lorna's house for the weekend of ACL. Everything was clean when we arrived and the space is lovely and comfortable. The outside patio is especially pleasant. Lorna is very responsive to any issues that come up. I highly recommend Lorna and her property for a group of any size. 
2418647,51322971,2015-10-19,11632600,Julia,"We stayed in the guesthouse behind Lorna's main house and it was perfect for a weekend stay for our family of 5. The neighborhood is delightful, Lorna was so helpful and welcoming, and the space itself was great. We had a lovely Austin visit here!"
4978855,28081430,2015-03-17,11367330,Anne,"Alita's place was absolutely perfect for our SXSW venture.... very clean, modern, in a quiet neighborhood, comfortable bed...and close enough to get into downtown on a daily basis. (We had a rental, it took 10 minutes and we had a parking spot directly in front of the apartment.) Alita was very accommodating and helpful offering suggestions about Austin and made sure we had everything we needed! Great little place!"
722364,3896625,2013-03-25,5432612,Haim,"Wow! What a family! What a House! What a Location! Talk about the heart of Austin!  The house and hospitality were definitely in line with the whole Austin vibe- it was amazing.  We were 8 people in total, the house was spacious, and everyone had their own place to sleep comfortably.  
The pictures in the profile do not do the house justice, Michael and Shanti meticulously designed and built it themselves with great attention to detail, and it shows.  It's a single family home.  There is the master bedroom suite w private bath and Jacuzzi which is phenomenal.  A bedroom with 2 single beds, and connecting bath.  A private guest bedroom with a queen size bed and its own private bath.  An additional Den/Living Room which has a TV, 2 piece sectional couch which folds out into a queen size bed. 
The configuration can make any situation work I’m sure. It is set up so that all of the bedrooms are centered on the dining area, living room and kitchen, providing a great place for everyone to get together, eat and hang out.  
The kitchen is beautiful with the continuous cabinet wood overlaid over the large fridge, oven, and dishwasher etc... Stainless steel countertops, finished with an island that has a huge wood butcher block as a top.  The Living room is spacious, it has a nice couch, and some chairs, an old wooden chest as a coffee table, (please use coasters or some kind of protection from cups) fireplace, and a built in speaker system. 
The best part is that it looks out to an outdoor screened patio eating area, and of course the large deck that wraps around the entire side and rear of the house.  It has a really nice rear yard, which has several levels of grass and steps.  
Between the combination of the elevated deck, and the ground level naturally beginning to slope down after the rear yard ends, when you step out of the living room through the beautifully stained hardwood sliding doors, you are immediately taken by the magnificent wide open view of trees, sun, nature, wilderness and the edge of Zilker Park and beyond.  It was such a pleasure to sit, relax, drink  and enjoy the view from the deck.   It most certainly has a tree house feel as described. 
There was a carport that covered our rented bikes, and a driveway which easily fit the suburban we rented.  The house is situated in the heart of zilker, a beautiful neighborhood, literally walking distance to the parks, Barton springs and minutes from downtown, and every other area Austin is known for.  
Michael and Shanti were great, I only saw them when I arrived and then when I left, but were available if we needed anything. If you want to come and enjoy all of what Austin has to offer, I seriously recommend this house, it serves as a great home base for whatever you have planned.  
Enjoy and Safe Travels"
722364,20817858,2014-10-06,14689717,(email hidden),"Shanti was a fantastic host!  The house has a ton of space including incredible outdoor areas.  She took the time to give a full tour and explain how the internet and home audio connections work.  She was also available to answer any questions and to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay.  The location couldn't be better if you want to be close to Zilker Park.  You can walk to the park, several restaurants, bars and coffee houses.  If you're looking for a nice relaxing place to stay in Austin I would highly recommend this home.  If you're looking for a party pad I would highly recommend looking elsewhere."
8557322,49860136,2015-10-06,32773133,Sierra,"Mark was an awesome host! His place was perfect, we had our own side of the apartment with a door that shut to a private hallway, which is where we had our own room and bathroom! Mark was really friendly and helpful :) He was fun to talk to and had great advice on where to go and what to do. Would definitely stay here again!"
5317194,28437420,2015-03-23,29268346,Ro,We had a blast renting from Ryan. Everything was what we expected and more. I give him a 10 out if 10
1741976,7909237,2013-10-07,7851014,Amber,"Great location near all things wonderful in South Austin! I stayed at Genna's place during ACL weekend and loved it. The apartment is very clean and comfortable, plus Genna is super friendly. She provided tips for the festival, recommended great restaurants near the house, and even gave my boyfriend and I a lift to Zilker (TWICE!). I really appreciate that she made every effort to make us feel at home. (She even made breakfast tacos our first morning there!)"
1741976,8143417,2013-10-17,9319530,Abir,"Genna was a great host. She was more than accommodating, from offering us a ride to/from the airport to taking us to the local grocery store. She gave us a ton of recommendations for restaurants and bars and everything was spot on. She's well versed in the arts/music scene so we felt lucky to have her around. 

Her place is lovely and clean and we felt very comfortable there. Location is just south of downtown Austin but super close to Barton Springs where Austin City Limits music festival is held. We rented bikes and found it very easy to get around everywhere (she also helped us look up bike rentals). 

I would definitely recommend Genna as a host to anyone visiting Austin! "
1741976,8660874,2013-11-11,850585,Zeina,Genna was a great host. Perfect location and great place for music lovers. Would defintely stay here again.
1741976,8797417,2013-11-18,9794476,Gary,"Staying at Genna's was the best decision of an overall delightful trip!  You are welcomed SO warmly into their home, that you feel more like you are visiting old friends - if your old friends know how to make your stay comfortable and highly supported.  An amazing cook, Genna's interior and glorious back yard is captivatingly decorated, UBERclean, and has a snug feel. You could spend hours just on the amazing book/vinyl record collection, but the detailed suggestions of this expert on local goings on will have you zipping out to ideal Austin spots for tasty restaurants and local events that will make every hour of your trip simultaneously worthwhile, and yet pleasantly relaxed.  Of course, I was happy to return and hear the sound of classic music and smell the rich aroma of wine and gourmet cooking.  The perfect way to enjoy Austin is to have Genna's as a home base - I have already recommended to every friend who will listen.  I actually felt bad for everyone else who didn't know about this gem while in Austin.  Stay there! :) "
1741976,9501481,2013-12-31,10375190,Grayton,"Genna and her boyfriend were very welcoming, helpful and accessible. The room was comfortable and well furnished (great books!) and the neighborhood felt close-knit and safe. "
1741976,12525097,2014-05-05,10220538,Julissa,"I had a wonderful stay at Genna's home. I stayed for 3 months and I'm happy to say Genna and I became good friends! She was very respectful of my privacy but also invited me to hang out frequently with her and her friends. We have many great memories which I will cherish forever! I also learned a lot from her, such as tips on creating more savory meals. :) I definitely encourage anyone to consider staying with her for both location and hospitality. "
1741976,13118901,2014-05-19,15399189,Reese,"My girlfriend and I had an amazing stay with Genna!  She was completely welcoming and an amazing host, staying with her was one of the best aspects of our stay. I highly recommend staying with her for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay, with an awesome location and fantastic host. "
1741976,13691152,2014-06-02,12559980,Olwyn,"My friend and I just had the best stay in Austin at Gennas place! She's such a friendly and welcoming host and made us feel at home right away. The room is spacious and having our own bathroom was great. The place is in a great spot easy walking distance to public transport and the local beer garden which I highly recommend checking out! If you come to austin this is the place to stay! You can't find a lovelier host than Genna, and her cat baboo is pretty great too!"
1741976,13998592,2014-06-09,16336835,John,Genna was an amazing host...Very accommodating and welcomed us into her house with open arms.  She was an outstanding communicator and very timely with her responses which was great.  Very cool house and the room was fantastic to stay in.  She provided phenomenal recommendations for a variety of things to do in Austin...Would love to stay with this extremely cool person again if we are in the area!!!!  Thanks again Genna!!!!
1741976,18310254,2014-08-25,5618708,Kaetochi,"Genna was a great host! I stayed with her for about a month and she made me feel at home. She was both welcoming and respectful of my privacy. Her home is clean and comfortable. I was working downtown and didn't have a car, and the bus stop is about half a mile away...not super convenient, but I made it work. Quiet neighborhood that is close to all of the fun in South Austin."
1741976,20048112,2014-09-22,4654503,Ben,"Genna and Bobby were perfects hosts!  They have a charming home in a cool area of Austin.  Close to many fun bars, coffee shops and restaurants on 1st and also South Congress.  Downtown is only a 7 minute drive away too.  The room was clean and comfy, and they have a great collection of vinyl and books which are signs of very good character!  

I would recommend anyone wanting a great stay in Austin to check out their place."
1741976,21881275,2014-10-26,19807322,Nicole,"Genna and her boyfriend were wonderful hosts.  They make you feel welcome and are in inviting, and at the same time, they give you plenty of space to do your own thing and enjoy the space as you see fit.  The home is exactly as shown in the photos and maybe even better in person because the pictures don't capture the coziness, culture and warmth!  The neighborhood is ideal as it is central to most areas, 5 minute drive to downtown, walkability to local bars, restaurants and CVS which is very useful.  Finally, the neighborhood is very safe and I felt 100% comfortable walking around.  I would recommend a car because things are very spread out and ATX is a driving town.   For example, the closest grocery store is NOT within a reasonable walking distance On a personal note, Genna and her beau are a great source of advice on all things ATX and are more than happy to make recommendations/suggestions if you ask!"
1741976,22365057,2014-11-04,21811621,Dani,"If legendary hospitality, close proximity to downtown, and adorable cats are your thing, then Genna and Bobby's home is your ideal destination in Austin! I was in town for the USGP, and my charming hosts ensured that my stay was relaxing and  were completely understanding of my needs as a ""sociable introvert."" I'd stay here again in a heartbeat! Thank you again!"
1741976,25959040,2015-01-31,24072324,Paul,"I passed a very enjoyable month staying at Genna's. She and her musician boyfriend, Bobby, are very knowledgeable about Austin's food and night club scene. She was even nice enough to alert me from a club near the house when a guitar player she knew I really liked was playing there. The location is hard to beat! Right in the midst of all the goings-on in south Austin. Genna is a gourmet chef as well and invited me to partake of a couple of exceptional meals that she had prepared. All in all, it was the best food that I experienced while in Austin and I ate pretty well, generally speaking. If you like books the shelves are stacked with plenty of interesting titles to peruse. And if you like music the main living area boasts a very impressive library of Genna and Bobby's combined LP collection. I definitely heard some cool stuff during my stay. Recommended for the location and the liveliness of Genna's and Bobby's respective personalities! Also for a couple of adorable, playful cats with totally winning personalities of their own!"
1741976,26992493,2015-02-23,5188731,Lello,"My stay at Genna & Bobby's house was amazing ! The location is great, close to everything (minutes form SoCo, right around the corner of Lamar, few steps from ABGB, Downtown 10-15 mns). The room is comfortable, you have all you need. Good neighbourhood, very silent. Bobby is a cool musician (Bass player) kinda known in town. If you love music, this is a plus! My only regret is not having spent much time with Genna & Bobby."
1741976,28468201,2015-03-24,16698035,Carla,"Genna and Bobby are amazing! The house is in a very good position to moving without trouble in the city, the room is absolutely comfortable and clean. Genna and Bobby are super-easy people and very availables for everything. Thank you so much for hosting us. Can't wait to come in Austin again! Cheers guys!"
1741976,40592822,2015-08-01,10808112,Chevy,"First, Genna is absolutely wonderful and I hope we'll be friends forever. She graciously accepted me into her home for 2 months with 1 day's notice (not that she would normally do that but she did and I was extremely grateful). I was here for work and the place I had originally booked from a distance turned out to be a disaster. I'm glad it didn't work out because my stay here has been like home away from home. My room was neat & clean with great sunlight, a comfy bed (I slept well), and everything I needed. Having my own bathroom was great. The location was perfect. My commute downtown was easy breezy. Everything you'd want--stores, staples, restaurants, bars--were a stones throw away. I worked a lot, so Genna and I would only see each other on occasion, but when we did it was always very pleasant. Over time, we got to know each other and would share wine, food, and laughs like old friends. She balances privacy and inclusion perfectly--I always felt welcomed while also given my space (important for an introvert). I'm going to miss Austin, mostly because I'll miss my time here at La Casa de Genna. She's the consummate host. "
1741976,49127470,2015-10-01,12758008,Chad,"Genna is an awesome host. Clean and quiet place, great neighborhood, very close to downtown. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Genna is super warm and accomodating - felt right at home."
353261,10900960,2014-03-12,9370257,Samantha,We had our team at Lara's for SXSW and they only had great things to say. We'll definitely be looking to stay here for next yr's conference. Thanks again Lara!
353261,28708497,2015-03-29,9050587,Sagar,"Great house, better than promised. The location is fantastic, with easy access to SoCo and a quick ride to other parts of the city and the airport. 

Lara was a great host, provided info on the area, and was flexible on timing to accommodate our flight schedules. 

Highly recommend."
353261,29736320,2015-04-12,1269625,Brian,"Our stay at Lara's bungalow was fabulous!  The place is perfect - spacious and lovely and historic all in one. The location is perfect for people who want to wander South Congress, hang at the park, or party downtown. Clean, with a gracious host. Lara gave us late checkout to accommodate flights, and recommended great spots in the area. We couldn't be happier!"
353261,30217167,2015-04-19,29472135,James,"Great house in a great location!  7 of us fit very comfortably for the weekend.  Also, great host that gave us many ideas and was very accommodating.  Thanks again!"
353261,31174279,2015-05-03,23516739,Amy,"Lara was a great host.  The description of the house was spot on and totally met all of our needs.  She was extremely responsive to all of my questions and easy going about making accommodations for us.  While everything was really great, the beds were super comfortable!  A very pleasant surprise.  The location was also super great.  Walking distance from a lot of great stuff and easily accessible.  The house is perfect for a group looking to have good time together and in Austin.  I strongly recommend it!"
353261,31770267,2015-05-10,27618040,Josh,"We had a great time staying at Laura's house.  The house itself was even better than the pictures suggested, with very high ceilings and a huge living room.  There was plenty of space for 10 people.  The location was great as well, with many awesome restaurants and sporting facilities within walking distance, as well as a quick uber ride to get downtown.

Lara was great to work with.  She was very responsive and helpful with suggestions, which was great since it was our first time in Austin.  She even bought us a basketball when she found out we were interested in playing.  Great experience overall."
353261,33654214,2015-05-31,28456079,Pooja,"The house was awesome and just as described - actually, even better. Great layout for a group of friends getting together and plenty of space for 10 people."
353261,34279518,2015-06-07,22627634,Whitney,"Lara was very responsive; she replied to all questions or texts within just a few minutes.  The home was very well stocked (e.g., towels, shampoo/conditioner, kitchen supplies), and Lara was generous in offering us to use anything we saw in the home.  The home was very clean, especially the bathrooms.  All spaces were larger than anticipated from the photos, especially the kitchen.  The dining room table and kitchen bar area comfortably sat 6 people each. In addition, there was another high-top bar area and counter with wine fridge and coffee station.  In short, plenty of space to prepare and eat a meal with family or friends."
353261,34945759,2015-06-14,25941329,Madi,"It was such a great house! Great location. The bedrooms were all decorated with super comfortable beds. The kitchen area was great with essentials there to cook which make cooking much easier, especially being out of town! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Lara for a great weekend in Austin!"
353261,37444100,2015-07-07,6661395,Anne,"The listing was just like its pictures. This is a big,spacious,house on one level , which was perfect for our large family. The location was great and had easy access to the downtown. Austin is a really fun city but the mosquitoes are terrible! The kitchen could have some better utensils, if you plan on making breakfast or simple meals . There were no decent fry pans( the Teflon was all scratched up) and there was one ripped spatula. Neither toaster worked as well. However, the beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of towels. The A/C worked great as we are not use to humid weather "
353261,39773983,2015-07-26,5168919,Shirley,"Lara was such a wonderful host!  We had a big group of girls in Austin for the first time for my bachelorette party.  Lara went above and beyond and made sure we were set up for a great time.  She made sure the house was well-stocked with everything we needed for the weekend.  Also went out of her way to bring us addt'l items we requested.  She even provided me a list of suitable restaurants, neighborhood spots, nightlife recommendations for us.  All her recos were spot on, the house was immaculate and really well kept.  Great experience thanks to a great host!"
353261,47722277,2015-09-21,40643480,Sam,"Lara was a fantastic host. She was always available if we had any questions and made sure the place was ready for our group. The house itself was large, well stocked, and definitely exceeded my expectations. All in all, a great experience, and I'd definitely recommend it to others. "
353261,48576599,2015-09-27,27385979,Zach,"Lara's house is great!  Clean, beautifully decorated, and recently updated.  

My wife and I spent the weekend there with six other friends who were all attending the same wedding.  The bedrooms are huge.  Three of the four bedrooms have an en suite bathroom, and then there's a huge half bath off of the living room.  There's tons of space in the open concept living room/kitchen area -- the perfect spot for my friends and me to catch up.  The pictures really don't do the house justice.    

The location right off of SoCo and close to Town Lake and other attractions is a perfect jumping off point for exploring Austin.  Thanks for a great stay, Lara!  
"
353261,49608344,2015-10-05,39936008,Stephen,"This place was as described and much better.  Great location and Austin is so much fun. We had 6-7 guys for a bachelor party and fit comfortably.  ACL was a 5 dollar uber ride. Lara was very helpful with any questions we had.  I would definitely recommend this house to anybody. Also, I would say its much better in person.  The pictures don't do it justice.   THANKS LARA! "
353261,50440482,2015-10-12,7385411,Jonathan,"Our group had a great weekend at Lara's house in SoCo. The location was wonderfully central, the spacious living room was ideal for socializing, and the appointments were quite nice. Very highly recommended."
353261,51342612,2015-10-19,45294625,Sweta,"Great central location, walking distance to the S Congress area and not too far from downtown. The house was exactly as described and as in the pictures and everything was very clean. We loved our stay!"

3512799,16526205,2014-07-28,2555603,Taylor,"Lovely little cottage Robert has in East Austin, off street gated parking. We stayed 4 days, worked two, played two. Strong wifi and lots of room to spread out. Robert was super nice and accommodating."
3512799,17013532,2014-08-05,80527,Kenneth,"Nice, comfortable place in a great location, just a few blocks from east 6th, the best neighborhood In Austin for food and drinks and it's just a few blocks from the river, the hike and bike trail, Rainey St. If you want to see the real Austin, you can't beat this!"
3512799,17411052,2014-08-11,19507095,Silk,"We loved staying in one of Bob's bungalows. It was clean and spacious with washing machines, a good shower and off street parking. Location is great for going out in East Austin - great bars, music and food vans all In close walking distance. Bob is friendly, relaxed and super helpful."
3512799,18159375,2014-08-22,20316643,Zachary,"We could not have been more happy with the bungalow and Bobby's hospitality. From the minute we got in from the road, the place was air-conditioned (a HUGE plus for Texas in the summer), and best of all there were chips, salsa, and lone stars waiting for us in the fridge!
The location is perfectly situated in the city, you can get anywhere you want to go in Austin in a matter of minutes, it's a great home base. I will definitely be staying there again next time I'm in Austin!"
3512799,18370228,2014-08-25,3052984,Sarah,"This place was great.  Great value, good location and very comfortable for two!  Lovely place, we felt safe in the neighborhood.  Close enough to downtown (quick bus ride).

Apartment had snacks, guides for stuff to do and cool air conditioning.   Great stay! "
3512799,18895448,2014-09-02,7843875,Katryn,"We very much enjoyed our stay in Bob's house.  He was an excellent host, provided a book full of information and recommendations along with beer, water, chips and salsa in  the fridge upon arrival!  The house felt very safe and had privacy.  It was very clean and comfortable and located in one the best parts of town.  Bars, restaurants and shopping all very accessible by foot and bicycle.  I highly recommend this airbnb!   "
3512799,19499299,2014-09-13,18005292,Amanda,"I really enjoyed my stay at Robert's bungalow. There is parking provided right by the house that is protected by gate entry. It's an older building that has been renovated, and it was charming and private. The location is fantastic for exploring Austin's East Side, and the price can't be beat! "
3512799,19647791,2014-09-15,21055210,Stephen,Great experience staying at the hidden bungalow. Robert was accommodating and had great communication. Location was great and I look forward to staying again on my next visit to one of my favorite cities.
3512799,19802622,2014-09-18,20163438,Annabel,"Bobby is very nice and the hidden bungalow- a gem for sure.  It's cool, clean, spacious and good value.  I'd definitely go back there next time in Austin.

"
3512799,19877067,2014-09-20,19195893,Ashley,"Bobby was an excellent host.  He has a sweet set-up of homes all surrounded by a privacy fence - so not only was it a safe and secure place, but it would be perfect for a group to go and just get both houses he has available.    This was our first airbnb and we're hooked now!

Austin is awesome - I walked everywhere and found some great spots right around the house - it's right across from a big park/playground with herb gardens and there are quite a few coffee shops close by.  

The house was clean, comfortable, suited us perfectly.  Bobby had a binder full of suggestions on things to do, a map for us to look over, and even beer, water, chips and salsa in the fridge.  He gave us an intro to the city and then allowed us to explore and have our privacy as well.  Excellent host and excellent location - we would definitely come back again!"
3512799,20049130,2014-09-22,3782607,Casey,"Robert was an excellent host, and the bungalow was perfect for our needs. The lodging was comfortable and accomodated the three of us easily with an air mattress. We felt secure with gated, off-street parking. Location was awesome - we were within walking distance of numerous restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Excellent value. We would definitely stay again. "
3512799,20256028,2014-09-26,4976916,Steve And Mariana,Robert was a great host and we enjoyed our conversations with him very much.  The house was (email hidden)rfect for our needs.  The house and neighborhood was very nice a quiet in the evenings; we enjoyed it very much.
3512799,20499152,2014-09-30,3693339,Sarah,"Robert sat with us and told us all about the area!  
Great location close to everything in East Austin. Didn't need a car.

"
3512799,20741403,2014-10-05,1283852,Kate,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay in Bob's guest house. The house was clean, nice AC, speedy wifi, and great location. There are great bars and food nearby as well. Bob was there to greet us when we arrived and has a binder full of Austin info. 

Above all, Bob was easy to reach and always replied quickly! We would definitely recommend this place! "
3512799,20827352,2014-10-06,1183325,Aimee,"Our stay with Bob was short, but great. The bed was comfortable and location was close to the 'local's experience' of 6th St. Bob stocked the fridge with beer, water, and salsa- all a nice thought. He also had ample recs on what to do while in Austin."
3512799,21003779,2014-10-09,21382004,Michael,Rob was a great host and I enjoyed meeting him. Staying at his place in Eastern Austin was a great way to affordably visit the city. It was nice having our own small but comfy unit to enjoy and also a coded gate for nice privacy not often experienced on Airbnb. Thanks
3512799,21095789,2014-10-11,417267,Angus,"Robert had really set the bar high from what to expect from Air BnB. From an amazing living space, a great guide book and most of all - excellent conversation - Robert is the host that all will be measured against. Couldn't have met a greater guy to help make my Austin experience as awesome as it was. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
3512799,21356732,2014-10-15,872903,Geoffrey,We had a great time at Robert's place in East Austin. The house was exactly as described and surprisingly spacious. Location was great as it allowed us to explore E. Austin a bit after spending the weekend in downtown. Would definitely stay here again.
3512799,21523345,2014-10-19,7306699,Joel,"Bob was fantastic. The place was awesome. I can't tell you how amazing his complementary chips, salsa and water bottles after a long, early flight.

The place itself is like 20 minutes walk from downtown, but honestly the east side of 6th street is the only place you'll want to be, and that's 5 minutes away."
3512799,21712102,2014-10-22,1327249,Susan,"Robert met us and showed us the bungalow we would be staying in, and told us about the projects going on on the property. What a fine way to repurpose these small older homes! 
The home's age was apparent. Which meant that all the historic character had not been renovated away. It was clean and well furnished. There was a washer and dryer, which was great.
As with many Air BnB locations, there were not ""hotel amenities"" such as bar soap, shampoo, hair dryer.  Upon request, Robert ground some coffee for us to use in the coffee maker for my needed morning cup.
The neighborhood is one in transition. The ""Keep Austin Weird"" attitude has not yet been condo-ed into  submission here. A good thing, in my book.
We were across from a well-kept park and a school, and parking was very secure so we felt safe. And there were many great little bars, shops, and eateries in the nearby areas. The immediate area is quietly residential.
Robert had a binder full of info on the area and plenty of local guides. After talking with us, he recommended we check out Brew and Brew. We loved it!
We also walked over to the Rainey Street area for a couple beers and dinner.  
Oh. And it is just a few minutes from Franklin's BBQ is you want to get in line at 9:00 am."
3512799,22053712,2014-10-28,19742083,William,"Great experience. Great location in a cool neighborhood. Walking distance to everything. The beer, water, chips, and salsa were a nice touch. I would highly recommend staying with Robert."
3512799,22356507,2014-11-04,19875955,Lewis,"Bob made us feel very welcome, location was excellent, accommodation was basic but as described and perfect for our requirement."
3512799,22819457,2014-11-15,17031215,Vinay,"This was the perfect place for us.  In a funky neighborhood in walking distance to some great bars and totally legit taqueria's.  Bob, was very accomodating the space was clean and well kept and you can't argue with beer in the fridge."
3512799,23290737,2014-11-28,7447365,Dina,"We had a great stay at Rob's Bungalow. He was very flexible when it came to check in and check out times, and super easy to get along with and quick to respond with any questions we might have had. The place had tons of magazines and information about the Austin area, which was great for us since we were visiting from out of town. I would recommend his place to anyone traveling to Austin and needing a place to stay. Only problem, the place didn't have a microwave, so reheating leftovers was a bit tough. Other than that, I'd give the place and Rob 5 stars!"
3512799,24541374,2014-12-30,21080107,Jessica,"Quiet house secured in a gated area. The house was a bit older, but we we very comfortable, and the location and price were right. No microwave or plates, but we were able to manage with the bowls and oven provided to heat up our leftovers. Robert was a great host!"
3512799,24954314,2015-01-04,126628,Cynthia,My friend and and I really enjoyed our stay at Robert's place. The location couldn't be beat! It is only a 30 minute walk to the city center. We were able to walk or cheaply cab it every where we wanted to go. The bed was super comfy and the house was neat and clean. Robert was very flexible and helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!
3512799,25292627,2015-01-11,24462283,Malte,"Robert was a great host who was very easy to contact as he was around the house most of the time. He was very helpful with whatever came up and did his best for us to have an enjoyable stay in Austin. The apartment itself is very nice and clean, too, and the info material that Robert put together was amazing. It's set in a more quiet part of Austin, but definitely not too far from the city center or nice restaurants on East 6th St.. Thanks also for the complementary water, beers, chips and salsa. 
Only that it got really cold in the apartment despite a gas heating and an electrical heater was a little annoying, but then again, Robert doesn't control the weather ;)
Thanks! I'd definitely come again."
3512799,25591725,2015-01-20,22855335,Allison,"Host Robert is beyond nice & friendly. Had a ton of maps and brochures telling us basically everything we needed to know about where to eat, what to see and what to do.  Just what we needed as first time visitors to the city.

Place is very clean, warm (it was winter) and bed is comfy.  Wi-fi equipped.  Pretty bare bones, nothing glamorous, but had everything we needed and was in a great location to walk to everything in East End and even to down town.  Just as described. 

Very accessible with car2go.  "
3512799,26086763,2015-02-02,20412118,Grant,"Very cool location. East side, but still walking distance from 6th St. Gated parking was a nice comfort to have while I was away from my car. Bob was super accommodating and was nice enough to leave beer, water and snacks in our fridge. 10/10 would stay again. "
3512799,26233592,2015-02-07,23784772,Tim,"Robert was a great host. He lives in the house adjacent to the Airbnb property so he's quite accessible. 

The house was clean and had everything we needed. It's somewhat barebones but we were just looking for a place to stay; we didn't need anything incredibly fancy. 

The property has a great location. We were able to get downtown or to Rainey St or South Congress for a very cheap uber fare. I'd stay here again for the convenience alone! "
3512799,26315444,2015-02-09,17767374,Matthew,Robert was an awesome host and we had a great time staying at his space. Highly recommended and we will be back for sure.
3512799,26589280,2015-02-16,3521504,Michelle,"Robert was a fantastic host. The house was clean and charming. It had all the amenities one would need including a welcome refrigerator full of beer, water, chips and salsa. There was lots of space in the house and the property it is located on is big and very safe. Robert had a whole guide book with great recommendations plus wifi so it's very easy to plan your day. The house is also located in a great part of town. It was really easy to get there from the airport and extremely easy to get to all the attractions austin has to offer. Uber rides to downtown on a Friday night were only $4-6. I would definitely recommend this listing. We had a great time. Thanks Robert!"
3512799,26881929,2015-02-21,2013159,Arthur,"This place was great, and Robert was very accommodating: the bed was super comfortable; and the chips, salsa and beer were appreciated. All the local info was handy, and the internet was great."
3512799,27170402,2015-02-27,13262918,Glenn,Bob is a great host. The place is really comfy and spacious. Great location; walkable to cool spots on E. 6th.

3512799,27540460,2015-03-07,27178047,Ryan,Robert was super nice to meet me when I arrived at his place. It was very comfy and it was a nice short walk to the Convention Center. Definitely a good place to stay in Austin. 
3512799,27579481,2015-03-08,1499095,Paul,Robert was great- very accomodating.  His place was nice and well suited for resting up my last night in town!
3512799,27665139,2015-03-09,27562923,Steven,"Robert was a fantastic host. He was accommodating and responsive. There's plenty of information available in the home for those who are unfamiliar to the area. And for those who know their way around, the location is fantastic with $5 Uber rides to many great areas. The house was very clean and had everything you would need to feel comfortable. It's obvious that Robert takes good care of the place and takes pride in its appearance. "
3512799,27856311,2015-03-13,22576456,Sumi,"Robert was great and a friendly host! He was flexible with checking in and checking out, which made it easier for us! The place is accurate to the description.  I liked the area - it's close to 6th street and easy to get to most places. Basic amenities and good place to stay.  "
3512799,28651857,2015-03-28,27243321,Mark,"This place was great. The neighborhood is really up and coming. It's minutes away, and easy walking distance, to E 6th with lots of quirky bars and delightful food trucks. You can easily rent a bcycle and ride around the river.

Bob was really friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome."
3512799,28776141,2015-03-30,13455468,David,"Rob is very welcoming and friendly.  Had the fridge stocked with cold beers, chips, and salsa.  Very comfortable and easy stay.  Can't wait to go back.  Perfect jumping off point for a fun night in Austin. "
3512799,28943986,2015-04-01,7707570,Caroline,Awesome host! Loved the beer and chips in the fridge + this place is super close to everything downtown! 
3512799,29674869,2015-04-11,28581599,Emily,"Not fancy - just a great value for simple, clean accommodations in a super location. It's an easy walk to many places to hang out. Robert has a helpful binder which revealed things yelp didn't. It's an even better deal if you're driving (which I wasn't) because there's enclosed parking. As a woman staying alone in a new city I felt totally safe and I would definitely stay here again. (Also, coming from NYC, it felt lavishly spacious for one person.)"
3512799,30374078,2015-04-21,12808227,Bell,We stayed at bobs place for 6 nights  the location was great  the house is a old house that has been some what fixed up. The bed was comfy and we really liked the gated safe area that was provided  I think the house is greared for short term and not long term stays  but it was still a good stay
3512799,30745839,2015-04-26,22290931,Sarah,Perfect space for our stay in Austin; Bob was easy to get a hold of and made us feel very welcome. Would recommend.

The apartment is as pictured and as described, comfortable and clean. There were helpful maps and books about Austin in the apartment as well. We had a lovely stay. Thanks!"
3512799,33071229,2015-05-25,20072305,Barbara,"More pictures need to be posted because the ""pullout sofa"" is a futon, the air mattress had a leak and the only room for it was the kitchen which had no dishes, glasses, silverware or microwave. way over priced at $ 200. per night for what we got. I've stayed at a few others in Chicago & Louisville that were great. Friends stayed at a brand new townhome a couple streets over for $50. per night"
3512799,33776339,2015-06-01,14399727,Alissa,"Our host, Robert, made us feel very welcome upon arriving to the apartment. He gave us helpful tips on the area and places to go that fit our interests. He provided a book of helpful information as well, such as great restaurants in the area. The apartment was kept cool with an air conditioner which made our stay extra comfortable. Robert also left some waters and beers in the fridge for us, which my fiancé thoroughly enjoyed! The apartment was in a great location and a short (and cheap!) uber ride away from the places we wanted to go. I would definitely recommend this place when traveling to Austin. Robert was a great host!"
3512799,34602446,2015-06-09,35039973,Alex,"Robert greeted us as we arrived to the house. Complimentary cold beer in the fridge is always appreciated on a hot summer day. Location is amazing, just a few blocks away from Downtown, in the heart of East Austin. Great neighbourhood with great food and drinks. Will definitely go back again."
3512799,35115046,2015-06-15,28583187,Gary,"Robert was an extremely friendly & helpful host.  I was allowed early access, which was very much appreciated.  I would highly recommend him and his property to anyone.  I will certainly use him again in the future.  The cold Lone Star Beers were great on a hot summer day!"
3512799,36017250,2015-06-24,16966295,Isabelle,"I really liked this place! Super clean, comfortable, quiet space. Pictures and description are accurate. Location is great, even if you don't have a car: groceries, convenience stores, restaurants, cafés and food trucks at a walking distance. Just a few blocks away from Downtown, and you can easily take the bus or Uber your way around the city at a low price. Robert is super friendly and helpful and answered all my questions quickly. He really is a super host. Cold beer and water in the fridge is great when you arrive from a long flight. I would highly recommend this place."
3512799,36555681,2015-06-29,20285087,Logan,"Robert welcomed us right when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know about the house, and the others on the property! It's a pretty neat little place. He was super flexible about pretty much everything, which is awesome to have from a host. We stayed for a long weekend and had no real problems in the house at all. An excellent location for lots of cool East Austin things, and a price to match."
3512799,36828302,2015-07-01,20401961,Clarke,"Robert was very accommodating. We were moving a trailer full of our stuff across the country as we relocate and stopped in Austin. Due to moving delays we showed up a day later and he was VERY quick and helpful in changing the dates. His driveway was perfect for parking our 20' trailer and was very secure with all our valuables. We were able to take a $5 Uber ride to Rainey street and it was well within a short bike ride to the east to good food trucks and the bike trail/park.

This was everything we needed for a VERY good price."
3512799,36997994,2015-07-03,11214503,Charlie,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great. Super easy check in and check out, a great space to live in and cold beer in the fridge waiting for you on arrival."
3512799,37865447,2015-07-11,13454010,Karen,"Bob is super nice and was very accommodating when our arrival was delayed by many, many hours because of various Amtrak complications. He was readily available but unintrusive. He provided plenty of information about Austin, along with bottled water and beer. 

The neighborhood is fun -- more diverse than other parts of Austin, with several eateries and bars just a few blocks from the house. One night there was a free outdoor Tejana concert in the park right across the street, which was pretty cool. It's a short metro ride or Uber ride, a long walk or a shortish bike ride to downtown. 

The house is 100 years old and mostly remodeled. A bit dusty. It's furnished with standard Ikea stuff -- simple and stylish. Very nice linens and rugs. Comfortable bed. Effective air conditioning. It's equipped with a lot of great bonuses, such as a living room, a full kitchen with dishes and cookware, a washer and dryer, and hassle-free high-speed wifi. It does not come with amenities many travelers consider standard, such as soap in the shower, a hair dryer, a microwave, an iron or a TV. Or functional blinds.  

Overall a nice experience, a lovely host and a great deal."
3512799,39041167,2015-07-20,36068256,Stephanie Marie,"Great location, very comfortable, easy to get to and from downtown locations. Overall awesome place. We will be back. Bob is a wonderful host and very accomdating. Highly reccomend."
3512799,40265344,2015-07-29,15147892,Emily,"Bob was super welcoming and the place was fabulous!  I would recommend it to anyone. It was easy to get around Austin either via walking if we stayed in East Austin, or using Uber to get to other parts of the city. The Lonestar and Water in the fridge was a great touch!

Everything was just as we expected it, and hope to be able to stay here again next time we're in Austin. The recommendations for food and drinks were solid."
3512799,41033141,2015-08-03,14513927,Jordyn,"Robert was a great host--he responded quickly and was there to greet us and show us the property. The bungalow was clean, and the bed was very comfy. The location was perfect for a quick Uber ride to downtown. Just be sure to bring your own toiletries. I'd definitely recommend Robert's place!"
3512799,42244366,2015-08-12,12357313,Emma,"Bob was a great host, answering any questions or concerns we had promptly,  and he also provided lots of information on anything we could have possibly wanted to do or see. The bungalow is a wonderful private space to unwind after a day of traversing the downtown Austin area."
3512799,42833181,2015-08-16,8029955,Colin,"We had a great stay in Rob's place. Uber is your friend in Austin, but there's also plenty of cool bars within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Wifi is super super fast. Cosy spot. "
3512799,44128736,2015-08-24,36715577,Shelby,"The location is excellent. I had a great time hanging out around this part of Austin. Beautiful trails, great food, and fun clubs are nearby. This is a great place to relax after spending a day taking in all the city has to offer."
3512799,45063514,2015-08-31,2672851,Ariel,"Bob was a great host and the house was great! It was in a really cool up and coming area of Austin with lots of great bars and restaurants in walking distance. My girlfriend and I stayed over a weekend for a wedding and did a lot of exploring around the area. Don't want to walk? It's cool, Ubers to anywhere you want to go are typically about $5 with tip. The house itself is cool too. Charming little bungalow on a property with a few other houses. Small but what do you need size for? Go outside. Bob gives you a great binder with points of interest and things to do. Cold beer and water in the fridge was a nice touch since it was pretty warm out there. 5 minute car ride/30 minute walk to downtown for the price is hard to beat."
3512799,45847402,2015-09-06,14855109,Thomas,"Had a great time in Bob's place in Austin - place was very comfortable (much larger than you might think from the photos) and had everything we needed. Bob was a very good host, chatting about all things Austin &  beyond, interesting conversations and had plenty of  suggestions for nearby places. The area has loads of great food trucks and bars and is close to the centre of town. "
3512799,46285443,2015-09-09,4277135,Danny,"Had a great Labor day weekend at Bob's place in Austin.
It's in a great east Austin location. Within walking distance to so many cool places!
Bob met with us and gave us tips about the area and was a very gracious host.
The place itself is very cozy and good sized. Highly recommended!
"
3512799,47050088,2015-09-15,5179367,Krystal,"Bobs communication in the lead up to the stay was excellent, the house was exactly as described and the location was great! He was super quick to respond to anything we needed. An amazing host!! Recommended! "
3512799,47477877,2015-09-19,12934839,Matt,Robert's house was very nice. Larger than it looked in photos. The East Austin location is great. Just a couple blocks down from the east end of 6th Street. Robert was very helpful in terms of meeting me and getting me keys and everything. I'd highly recommend his spot. 
3512799,47641938,2015-09-21,12430746,Arya,"Bob was an excellent host. Great communication from the time I booked, at our arrival, and all throughout our stay. As others have mentioned, the location is great with respect to proximity to great bars, restaurants, and food trucks. One thing I will add is that there is a bike share rack two blocks away that we found to be incredibly convenient (in case you were interested in renting bikes). The place itself was spacious and suited our needs perfectly.   "
3512799,48693501,2015-09-28,25353493,Brian,Robert was an incredible host. This was our second time staying. Great location!
3512799,49433273,2015-10-04,30447259,Varun,"Bob was super accommodating during my stay.  I was due to arrive at his place in the evening, but due to traffic, I ended up getting there at 11PM.  Bob was in constant contact during my drive down, and even stayed up to make sure I was greeted and checked in properly.  The space is perfect if you're looking to explore some exciting parts of Austin.  I traveled alone so the house was more than enough for me.  It's about a 15 minute walk to east 6th's many bars and nightlife, and it's a quick über or drive away from many other attractions.  Thanks for the hospitality, Bob!"
3512799,49668681,2015-10-05,15384939,Roy,"Great experience, Rob was very nice. "
3512799,49876875,2015-10-07,1391577,David And Alexis,"We had a great stay here. The bungalow is definitely spacious and comfortable. Agree with the other reviews here: it might not be the right place for someone who has high airbnb expectations. The house is a little quirky, and we didn't mind that. The best part was the easy walk to and from the restaurants and bars. Bob was a good host. He made sure check in was easy, had great recommendations and was very accommodating. We'd stay here again!"
3512799,50255135,2015-10-10,556418,David,"Robert was very communicative from the get go. Slept soundly in the bed, which was quite comfortable. Would definitely stay again!"
3512799,50440787,2015-10-12,26127006,Kathryn,"Bob was amazing! Great location, charming little house (way bigger than it looks like in the pics) definitely going to stay here again the next time we go to Austin"
3512799,50781493,2015-10-14,7803308,Miriam,"Robert's place is awesome! Excellent location, lots of great coffee & food in the area. We had a car, which made it a bit easier. Free parking onsite. 

Clean & comfortable place. Sheets were clean, the towels soft & the bed comfortable. 
He is a very friendly guys with lots of great tips. He was having a BBQ when we arrived & invited us over. The place was a lot larger than we expected & we were very comfortable. He had a lot of sightseeing information out & ready for us. 
I highly recommend. "
3512799,50990877,2015-10-16,46314163,Sarah,"Great space, it was quiet and comfortable.  I am so glad I stayed here, it was the perfect spot for me and Robert was very accommodating of my extremely late travel arrival. Thank you so much!"
3512799,51526341,2015-10-21,5938829,Mike,"Bob was very nice. Apartment is very affordable. It would have been nice to be a little closer to downtown, or in a more suburban environment (one or the other), but it was a great value overall. "
3512799,51787395,2015-10-24,45917127,Kevin,"Robert is AWESOME!  The place was cozy and comfortable.  $5 Uber to downtown.  Robert was very friendly and made me feel secure on his property.  

I am usually more of a critic, but cannot find bad things to say about my say....  Even after I lost my key and I thought Robert would be mad, he brushed it off.  I owe you Robert!

"
3512799,52209796,2015-10-27,22587183,Candace,"Bob was great! He was incredibly nice and accommodating. He provided all of the resources and recommendations we needed to explore - he also pointed us in the direction of some great food! The bungalow was clean and private, and the area is very close to downtown - walking distance on a nice day. It's also a safe, quiet neighborhood. "
6747810,49808163,2015-10-06,43628435,Caitlen,Amazing first airbnb experience! Lisa was a wonderful host! She was so sweet... Even leaving us cold medicine when she heard us coughing! Beautiful and inviting home! 
6747810,50486959,2015-10-12,34152417,Elizabeth,It was a wonderful experience. My roommate and I were provided towels and also the key for easy access and to go in and out as we pleased without worrying about how we were going to get in or lock the house. We checked in super late but she was understanding. Lisa's house was beautiful and very clean. The room was cozy and the bed was comfortable. The house was also located in a quiet neighborhood. 
6747810,51405291,2015-10-19,24692655,Kenneth,Lisa was  great Hostess. I enjoyed her cozy little house and loved the Hot-tub . Although she did accidentally lock me out briefly lol  .  I would definitely  stay there again. :)
6747810,52891909,2015-11-02,46652468,Joseph,"Lisa's place was great. Very comfortable. She's a gracious, considerate host. There's a bus stop at the end of the street. I didn't have to rent a car. I just got a $19 bus pass on my phone for 7 days. The ride to downtown was only 20 minutes. I'll definitely visit again."
80383,3969128,2013-03-31,142563,Julie,"It's impossible for me to be objective about this experience as I fell in love with the hosts and their dogs. Seasha and I really hit it off and it felt way more like a slumber party than renting a room. They are both interesting, smart and helpful. John is a bit more quiet, and really goes out of his way to try and meet guest needs. Seasha is feisty, colorful and involved in a fascinating art project at Burning Man. She is a great cook and was not a ""burning woman"". She did NOT burn the amazing chocolate chocolate chip cookies that I ate three of. If you like to meet people when you travel, especially if you are from abroad and want an authentic and memorable Austin experience, this is an ideal place to stay. They gave me lots of tips on places to eat and things to do and Seasha spent about an hour making a map and printing it out, showing the location of everything I was interested in. Wow! However John and Seasha left me totally alone when I closed the door to my room, so I am sure guests who prefer autonomy and privacy will get what they need. The house is clean, very comfortable and well appointed, and decorated in an interesting and artsy style. John and Seasha  did a lot of the work themselves. I don't know why anyone would stay in a hotel when they could have all the amenities, plus, Plus PLUS. (Great hosts, super dogs, full kitchen, patio with an outdoor open air canopy bed, books, use of living room and dining room, washer and drier, free parking, cable, internet...During your stay, they will either cook you a homemade breakfast, or order you breakfast tacos. Don't be intimidated by the location on the North edge of Austin. Seasha and John will let you know the best routes even during rush hour, and you'll find almost  everything you want to see is only 10-20 minutes away. I would not hesitate to stay here again and I will stay in touch, in hopes of future slumber parties. "
80383,7860987,2013-10-06,9019792,Kristen,Our stay at John's was very comfortable.  He even had breakfast ready for us when we woke up. Score!
80383,15005845,2014-06-30,16907183,Amber,"John was very welcoming and informative upon our arrival to his house (that is tucked away in a very picturesque and quiet neighborhood). He showed us around his home which is polka-dotted with art and cool light fixtures, invited us to use his television and kitchen -- among other things -- as much as we pleased, and introduced us to his two black beauties of dogs who were very sweet and adorable. My friend and I spent most of our time in the city (only ever returning to use the restroom and beds which were neat and clean, as was the entire humble abode), so while we did not interact with John very much, he was always kind and understanding of our absence. I've only ever stayed in Austin twice (with friends, mind you), and this was by far my most comfortable experience. Right before we left, John baked us blueberry scones fresh out of the oven for our travel home, which would lead you to believe that he attended the finest culinary school in France. The next time I find myself visiting Austin, i'll likely be crashing in one of his spare beds again. "
80383,16180105,2014-07-22,7070911,Tess,"We had a very nice stay at John's lovely house. The decoration is very original, the atmosphere is cozy, we felt like home. John was very nice and helpful, especially when we had to come back for another night at the last last minute :). His attentions in the mornings were very good and very delicate of him. As for the dogs, 2 sweeties! We really had a great stay, highly recommend it!"
80383,16498406,2014-07-28,17770528,Meghan,"My husband and I took a long weekend in Austin for our babymoon (8 1/2 months pregnant, we wanted to get away before our little one joins us) and we also wanted to bring our pups. John's house was perfect!
John was very welcoming and thoughtful...he gave us usage of the house and backyard. He even let the puppies inside to chill while we spent the day at Barton Springs. The house is great and the room was a perfect size for us to use. This was way better than worrying about finding a dog sitter and we got the opportunity to meet a new person and share wonderful stories! 
Great option if you need a place to stay on the north east side of town and it's right off 290 & 183...we could quickly get to any of the highways!"
80383,16751829,2014-08-01,18877424,Dovile,John is a great host and his home is beautiful.  His 2 dogs are adorable an very friendly and the scones are scrumptious.  
80383,18259244,2014-08-24,18877424,Dovile,My roommates and I were here for a few weeks until our apartment was ready.  John was really nice and helped us figure out Austin since we had all just moved to Texas.  The house is really spacious and the yard has the best hammock.  Everything was always clean and the place is just very cozy.  
80383,19718993,2014-09-17,425821,Alex & Kristal,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Owner is very professional and kind person.

this is my first time to visit Austin, and nice to stay here. I come to like Austin and will come back.

オーナーはとても親切で部屋も清潔で良く掃除されています。場所はダウンタウンからも近く車があれば（あるいはLyftやUberを使えば）非常に便利ですし、レストランも周りにあります。
"
1681072,33083016,2015-05-25,28360364,Ryan,"Chris & Vanessa went above an beyond to make our stay comfortable.   The house was a perfect location, close to many of the great spots in Austin.  We spent every chance we could by the pool and screened-in porch.  When I come back to Austin, this will be my first choice."
1681072,49582364,2015-10-05,24239657,Jonas,Chris and Vanessa were fantastic hosts.  They both greeted me and my party in person and walked us through the house.  They were even kind enough to leave us a basket of delicious Trader Joe's snacks.   Their house is beautiful and located very close to Zilker Park.   We were there for ACL fest and couldn't have asked for better accommodations.  It is a very nice neighborhood and about a 20 minute walk to the festival gates.  Would definitely stay there again on our next trip.  
4047486,33296823,2015-05-26,22096086,Tobias,We really enjoyed our stay in Austin. The apartment of Lindsey is definitely one of the reasons. Our expectations were met and I would definitely book this room again.
238657,37369831,2015-07-06,36009691,Zack,"This is the perfect location for all things downtown Austin. This was my first Airbnb experience and was not sure what to expect. Dealing with Carole/Kerry was a breeze. The house was nicely decorated, clean and in a great location. I am looking forward to coming back to Austin and staying at the Hill House."
238657,38632093,2015-07-17,6802088,Barbara,"My 19 yr old daughter and I had a great stay in Austin, Kerry and Carol's house was very quaint and clean! Very centrally located, easy  to get downtown!  Carol was very good about contacting me before we left and throughout the reservation process, thank you!!

Barbara and Natalie Persyn"
238657,39075584,2015-07-20,36399223,Sarah,"The Hill House was perfect! Check in was extremely easy, the house was clean and in a GREAT location.  My friends and I had an amazing time. Would definitely go back!"
238657,40969054,2015-08-03,19062717,Melissa,"The Hill House was such a fantastic place to stay, lovely home in such a great neighborhood, as well as extremely convenient location to fun places in Austin! Kerry and Carole had everything organized and easy to find, as well as lots of information about things to do in the city itself. If we ever needed anything or had questions, they were quick with responses and easily reached. Would absolutely stay here again next time in Austin! Thank you for everything!"
238657,46982027,2015-09-14,43343555,Magan,"Carole and Kerry have a great place in a great location. It was spotless when we arrived and full of amenities. As owners, they were very responsive and attentive to our needs. We have a two year old and the backyard was a perfect place to play (or hang).  I highly recommend staying at the Hill House. "
2496138,14971067,2014-06-30,11670397,Brian,"Jason was excellent! He knew all about Austin, and gave many (MANY) recommendations that turned out great. I had many questions as I hadn't ever been, and he responded quickly and gave great answers. 

I loved the house! Cornhole, foosball, plenty of beds and space. Really a great place to stay."
2496138,19260433,2014-09-09,14678124,Daniel,The place was very clean and ready for our arrival. The keys were accessible and the neighborhood was great.  
2496138,23969356,2014-12-15,24396949,Ajay,"Good house. Clean. Close to Rainey/downtown. 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, but plenty of beds and room. We had a great time and would definitely rent from Jason again. "
2496138,25802234,2015-01-26,6962501,Stephanie,"Great trip to Austin! House had everything our group needed. Very comfortable, easy to check in/out, and working with Jason was a breeze. Would rent again!"
4226261,22248758,2014-11-02,20739531,Chris,"Awesome Austin experience. A home that had a great guest experience. You can tell the care that Jonathan has for his home and it makes the stay, an awesome place to be in Austin. Great location in a quiet,  quintessential Austin neighborhood. Easy to get to all the sites and sounds of Austin. Our rate was a great value on a busy weekend. Totally recommend and would be back!"
4226261,23332694,2014-11-29,637171,Scott,"The house was neat and clean throughout and very comfortable.  It was just as described and we had everything we needed.  
The location was close to our relatives that we were visiting, and a lot of the places we like to go to, yet still in a quiet neighborhood.  I would recommend this house."
4226261,24529372,2014-12-30,22892985,Debbie,"We enjoyed our stay at Jonathan's Bungalow and his description is just what you get--a quaint, historic home with the amenities provided to make you feel comfortable away from home.  A nice backyard and off street parking add to the experience. This is a quiet neighborhood and very conveniently located for nice walks to restaurants, groceries, shops.  We would definitely stay here again."
4226261,49558225,2015-10-04,23825974,Alice,"This house is so cool! It's clean，comfortable, and traffic condition is good. We spent a great weekend. We love Austin~~~"
1577342,10003610,2014-01-24,4078471,Megan,"I stayed in Erin's studio during a recent trip to Austin.
It's incredibly comfortable and has nice decorative details. The studio is bright and sunny and I slept incredibly well.
Erin and Lynn are such nice hosts - they're friendly and hospitable without being intrusive.
The location of the studio is excellent - it's close to two of the best breakfast taco venues in the state and the proximity to the downtown train is great.
I highly recommend staying here!"
1577342,10057473,2014-01-27,653250,Laura,"Erin and her family  were super good hosts and the loft is really cozy and done with so much care! Apparently we were the first guests staying there, it smelled brand new!
It is in an up and coming part of Austin with cool restaurants, cafes and grocers within walking distance. Street parking was plenty available but the place is very well communicated via public transit so you can forget the car 
We totally recommend the place, thanks Erin!"
1577342,10352709,2014-02-15,630638,Michael,"Erin's cozy studio loft is probably one of the best places to stay in Austin. I know this because I was airbnb surfing while trying to get settled into Austin. Close to food and drink on Manor, right by the Metro, a 5 minute drive to the city, and a friendly dog. What more could you ask for?"
1577342,10452292,2014-02-19,4648382,Jess,"Erin's loft is wonderful!  It's in an awesome location, walking distance to the metro rail and eateries on Manor.  It has great windows and a really cozy sleeping area.  Also loved the backyard complete with Snack, the super friendly dog.

Erin and Lynn were lovely hosts!  They gave us some great recommendations for places to check out and eat in Austin.  When our dead car battery needed a jump, Erin helped get us up and running again in minutes.

We'd definitely stay again on our next visit to Austin!"
1577342,10663540,2014-03-02,12003175,Mel,"I'm generally fussy when it comes to the places i stay or sleep and i was very happy with this studio.
It was clean and bright with many thoughtful details such as coffee, speakers and a washing machine. It is also separate from the main house which made it feel private and quiet. Erin was accommodating to our late check-in time and although we only spoke very briefly was nice and polite. 
Also very close to public transport and getting to and from different parts of town was easy and cheap.

Only thing that stopped this from being five stars is that I went out to find a gas station at night and the area seemed a bit sketchy, although i didn't run into any problems. However, i think a lot of growth is coming into East Austin with the new rail system and trendy restaurants so i think this will only improve.

Would definitely stay here again and i highly recommend "
1577342,10701719,2014-03-03,4019675,Maryalice,"Erin was a wonderful and amazingly accommodating host - we very much enjoyed our stay in the backyard studio. It was very comfortable, clean, quiet and ideally located, and a treat to see their dog Snack at the door in the morning waiting for a game of catch. Thanks Erin!"
1577342,10817305,2014-03-09,4728908,Leah,"Loved staying here--perfect, relaxing getaway."
1577342,11006255,2014-03-17,3329406,Catherine,Had a great time! Perfect place to stay for any events in downtown Austin! Erin was very kind and available to answers any questions I had.
1577342,11079108,2014-03-19,9049895,Sommer,I loved staying here. Very cozy. It had everything I needed! Erin was very accommodating when I asked for a favor and was always communicative and helpful. 
1577342,11138482,2014-03-22,2662096,Jessica,"What a wonderful stay at Erin's place! The loft was the perfect place for my 1-night pass-through Austin on my road trip, providing much needed quiet and calm from a busy week on the road. Erin and her family were great, communicative  hosts, giving me tips on where to eat in Austin and even travel tips for my drive to Marfa. The loft itself is decorated in such a charming, considered, and cozy way. I found the location to be near everywhere I wanted to check out in Austin also. Hoping to come back and visit sometime soon. "
1577342,11329199,2014-03-30,12350834,Diego,"This place fitted me perfectly. I had a perfectly private, homely spot in Austin here. I always felt confortable and independent, however Erin was available for little things that I needed. Erin has made an outstanding work in putting together this nice, compact, cabin, all in a really good taste. Although it may not appear clearly by the pictures, the table in the ground floor is perfect for work. One can read comfortably upstairs: however cozy, it never feels crammed. It may be fair to say that it is a little withdrawn from the action going on in busier parts of Austin, and public transportation is kind of sparse here, however, if one has friends willing to give one a lift, this aspect becomes meaningless. I strongly recomend it."
1577342,11434115,2014-04-02,12826744,Stuart,"This family couldn't have been nicer or more considerate.  I loved having my own space in its own little building in a very Austin neighborhood.  I was able to walk to a place that had great coffee and breakfast tacos in the morning, but there was also a little French press in the room, so I could have that first cup moments after waking up.  The bed is up in a loft, but a well-placed window kept it very cool, and there's a/c up there if you go during the summer.  Thoughtful artistic touches in the room made this the perfect place for me.  They very kindly kept asking me if their super friendly and playful dog was bothering me, but I couldn't get enough of him!!!"
1577342,11565699,2014-04-07,5267262,Caitlin And Corbin,This was such a perfect stay. The studio was great! So bright with natural light and spotless. We just needed a place to crash after a wedding and we loved this space! The hosts were super friendly and so was Snack the dog! Highly recommend this studio. We were very comfortable and enjoyed it very much.
1577342,11592604,2014-04-08,1804137,Nicole,"Loved Erin's lofted studio! I didn't get to meet Erin, but she communicated with me via text. Great host! "
1577342,11741230,2014-04-14,11829835,Nichelle,"Absolutely wonderful. Clean and cute studio with all the basics, located in an eclectic fun neighborhood. There is a great patio for relaxing, coffee, and the added bonuses were the friendly dog, Snack, and the lovable cats. Our hostess Erin was helpful, kind, and allowed us privacy.  There is a washing machine available also.   A retreat not to be missed. Thank you Erin! We love Snack! A great introduction to Austin."
1577342,12013434,2014-04-21,4927794,Erin,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience staying at Erin and Lynn's.  They were extremely accomodating and friendly and very quick to respond to any questions we had.  The loft was cute, cozy, and comfortable w/ the perfect amount of space with beautiful lighting in a fun, centrally located neighborhood.  This was the perfect place to stay on our first trip to Austin and we would definitely love to stay here again!"
1577342,12159414,2014-04-24,3094255,Matthew,We had a great time in this gorgeous East Austin studio. Erin and family couldn't have been friendlier. Thanks again!
1577342,12342742,2014-04-29,13544878,Dice,Very communicative and responsive hosts. Studio was clean and well-kept in a nice quiet neighborhood.
1577342,13138749,2014-05-20,11265441,Diane,"My experience with Erin, Lynn and Snack was entirely positive.  The studio was spotlessly clean, secure, and private.  It is inside a fenced yard behind a house in a quiet residential neighborhood.  It is a short walk to a couple good coffee shops and many restaurants/bars/stores, a longer but easy walk from UT and downtown.  Plenty of street parking.  There are good bus connections a few blocks away and a commuter rail station three blocks away.  The wifi was fast and worked very well.  I was able to get alot of work done.  The stairs up to the loft are a bit steep and could be a challenge to some folks.  However, the studio is very solid, well-built and comfortable.  There is good ventilation and an air conditioner.  The bathroom is small but functional with a very good shower.  The hosts, Erin and Lynn, could not have been more friendly and helpful.  "
1577342,13351734,2014-05-26,2872254,Diana,"We had an amazing time at Erin's beautiful studio. Erin and Lynn were super friendly and gave us lots of tips on Austin and the neighbourhood, providing a list of places to hang out. We were able to walk to the cool cafes, shops and restaurants near the house and had easy access to the city both by car and train. 
The studio was perfect for our three nights in Austin, with a well-equipped kitchen that allowed us have breakfast every morning before starting our day. Located in the backyard of Erin's cute house, we had plenty of privacy and could enjoy the garden. We loved playing with Snack and meeting the cute cats. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks so much!"
1577342,13776662,2014-06-03,15738490,Omairys,"LOVED IT! The listing was exactly as described. 

The location was perfect and the studio was just PERFECT. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this to visitors!"
1577342,13863449,2014-06-06,15860656,Sarah,The studio was awesome and Erin was a great host!  
1577342,13927570,2014-06-08,1901353,J.,"Erin's place was lovely! Only wish I could have stayed longer. As per the photos the cottage is spacious and clean, with all you need for a pleasant stay. And Erin was more than accommodating when my plans had to change at the last minute. Wishing Erin and her family all the best! "
1577342,13994179,2014-06-09,4118137,Unji,Great spot. Easy to get in. Very efficient use of spaces. 
1577342,15351948,2014-07-07,12649285,Neil,Awesome experience.  Super cozy place.  Would definitely stay here again. Erin was very hospitable and easy to communicate with. 
1577342,15646697,2014-07-13,524494,Elizabeth,"The loft is charming. The bed is very comfortable. I loved meeting our three hosts..Happy Birthday, Erin! ;) And you couldn't ask for a better location. Cheers, ladies!"
1577342,16049407,2014-07-20,1197055,Mike,"The studio was perfect for our short visit. We only met Erin briefly, but she was very nice and helpful. The space was bright and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The studio is conveniently located, and the private entrance was an added bonus."
1577342,16149856,2014-07-22,17740339,Natalie,"My boyfriend and I had a great time staying here for a quick one-night trip to Austin. Erin and Lynn have created such a simple, easy, and comfortable studio.  The loft is perfect for fun getaways to Austin as well for people who would like to get a little personal work done on the side—it is bright and has plenty of space. They included books on Austin and a typed up list of recommendations for the area and I definitely felt like I could have asked them for more advice if need be. Great people, great space."
1577342,16585874,2014-07-29,16871413,John,"What a wonderful way to be introduced to Austin.  The studio was really great.  It was comfy, cool, and in a great neighborhood to see/eat/drink awesome Austin things.  Erin was super flexible with my check in and made me feel immediately welcome.  She even had a list of interesting things to do, which were right on target (yum Chilito).

I loved the vibe and the yard of the whole place.  I especially loved some late night games of fetch with their dog Snack, who is an absolute sweetheart.  Erin even asked around for places available for rent, when I told her my objective was to find an apartment.

I highly recommend the studio.  It exceeded my expectations.

"
1577342,16958934,2014-08-04,15141575,Hayley,"Perfect cozy, and clean little place for our quick getaway! Erin is super nice and accommodating, will def stay again. "
1577342,18151584,2014-08-22,7840828,Fiona,"We felt like we were in a peaceful cabin on the woods!! It's extremely cozy ( be careful, maybe you don't want to go out and face Austin's heat ;) The studio is in the backyard but you have a  separate entrance that gives you a lot of privacy. Erin & family are very nice and respectful. It was a pleasure to chat with them in the patio. They provide us a few tips and places to go. If We ever come back to Austin, no doubt we want that cabin again!"
1577342,18321726,2014-08-25,3663267,Natalie,"Such an adorable little house. A perfect, private space to explore Austin from. Air conditioning really worked to cool down the place in the Texan heat. The hosts were friendly and left a list of suggested dining options. We had a lovely time. Thank you ladies. "
1577342,18732831,2014-08-31,7488567,Kristyn,"Erin's place was awesome! It was in a really convienent part of town close to everything on the East Side and downtown. The place itself was very clean and cozy with an awesome little kitchen including coffee! If you ever need a place to stay in Austin, this is the place to stay!"
1577342,18914782,2014-09-02,750675,Emily,"I love this little space! My partner and I usually stay with friends while in Austin, but it was so nice to have an entire studio/loft all to ourselves. The place was clean, bright, and open and gave us the privacy we needed to relax and take some time for ourselves. We hung our clothes out to dry, played catch with Snack, and had a some nice conversations with Erin and Lynn out on the porch. The whole environment is very relaxed and comfortable - we felt completely at home. Thank you, ladies!"
1577342,19016927,2014-09-04,7531185,Matt,Erin's loft was a great place to stay for a quick trip to Austin last week. They were warm and welcoming. The loft is exactly as advertised. Was a quirky and fun place to head back to at night.
1577342,19135216,2014-09-07,12653315,Jimmy,"We did not get to meet Erin or Lynn, but their studio was quite lovely for the one night we stayed there. The neighborhood is fun--Manor Ave has a lot of tasty restaurants. Overall this was a very chill and relaxed stay."
1577342,19622646,2014-09-15,5422412,Fayth,"We loved our stay at Erin's place. The studio is really clean and perfectly laid out. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood in east Austin. We were without a car for the first couple days but had no trouble getting downtown using the buses that stop nearby. We would absolutely stay there again!"
1577342,19757921,2014-09-17,5143090,Esther,"Erin and Lynn were responsive, hospitable and their space was one of a kind! My friend and I loved the loft, it was a great fit for a brief stopover in Austin."
1577342,20025224,2014-09-22,1750288,Denise,"Erin's place is precisely why I use Airbnb for travel these days.  The listing pictures failed to capture the absolute adorableness of this place. It's perfect for a weekend getaway, close to EVERYTHING, and the neighborhood is nice and quiet with plenty of street parking. 

The bed in the loft was comfy and the a/c kept the entire place cool during this unseasonably muggy weekend. Also, the place was spotless when I arrived, which is always a plus. Do yourself a favor and spend some time on the porch. I was in town for a conference, but sat outside and enjoyed a beer before bed each night.

"
1577342,20295749,2014-09-27,3807244,Will,"Incredible stay. Erin is the reason why we like AirBNB over em hotels. Accommodations were so cute, Erin and he family were lovely, their recommendations were spot on and the arrangement overall was perfect. If you're in Austin and want the true Austin experience and an amazing stay, stay here!"
1577342,20435774,2014-09-29,2956498,Affonso & Lauren,"We unfortunately had to leave town early and did not stay the full time at the airbnb. However, the cottage was very cute and charming and a great location in east Austin. "
1577342,20627254,2014-10-02,1397804,Lauren,"This place is absolutely adorable and super comfortable. I enjoyed the location (close to the train, bus) and also the neighborhood (which had some great coffee shops and fun bars/restaurants about within 10 minutes walking). Also, I took some of Erin's food recommendations which I'm still talking about. Thanks for the wonderful stay!"
1577342,20906783,2014-10-07,6137533,Clare,"Erin and Lynn were delightful hostesses for our first trip to Austin!  I can't imagine two warmer, friendlier people to host Airbnb-er's!

Their lofted studio was adorable, comfortable and equipped with all of the necessary amenities (even a hair dryer and curling iron)! Their location in East Austin was walking distance from adorable shops and restaurants and we had easy access the downtown area.  

All in all, I highly recommend staying with Erin and Lynn in East Austin.  Definitely two people and an area of town worth getting to (website hidden).  Their dog ""Snack"" who is famous throughout all the Airbnb reviews is just as adorable and fun as he is cracked up to be!  

Thanks for everything Erin and Lynn! We will be back!"
1577342,21037772,2014-10-10,6334720,Bianca,"Our host where warm welcoming and accommodating. The place was adorable and we loved Snacks, the dog. They had a great list of local recommendations all of which met or beat expectations. "
1577342,21280447,2014-10-14,7475576,Colleen,"We had such a great time on our first visit to Austin thanks to the lovely accommodations and great recommendations that Erin provided.  The studio is a quaint, lovely space that made me feel like I was living like a true austinite for the weekend. Erin was so accommodating to our needs.  "
1577342,21440985,2014-10-17,22194663,Emma,"Had an awesome time in Austin last week. Erin's lodge was perfectly designed and suited our needs brilliantly. 

We were also made to feel really welcome by Erin and her family and would not hesitate to recommended them to anyone.

Thank you for a great stay!"
1577342,21522771,2014-10-19,8471144,Ian,Erin has created such a cool space to stay in her backyard! We had a short stay (just one night) and left wishing we had more time. Highly recommended.
1577342,21587043,2014-10-20,8096374,Kristi,"We will definitely be staying here again! The entire place is welcoming, clean, and bright. It was easy to find and Erin made the check in super easy. Even their pup Snacks did his part to welcome us. I highly recommend this East Austin gem. "
1577342,21703259,2014-10-22,13345298,Susan,This little place was exactly as advertised!   Snack (their doggie) was absolutely adorable.   Wish we had more time to explore the area.  We will definitely be back.
1577342,23299297,2014-11-28,5452066,Joel,A fantastic place to stay in a great part of austin. They are great hosts and provide plenty of good tips for places to eat particularly. 
1577342,23695472,2014-12-08,6495009,Autumn,"Perfect little place for our stay in Austin! Close to the train into town but also an easy walk to UT Campus, the Capital building, etc. Definitely recommend! "
1577342,23993590,2014-12-16,4234589,Jeff,"Erin & Lynn were excellent hosts...very welcoming, helpful, and fun.  Cute, clean studio behind their house in a nice location.  And Snack (their dog) was energetic and friendly.  Highly recommend this place for a weekend trip to Austin."
1577342,24123718,2014-12-20,5615843,Morgan,"I loved Erin's place, it was perfectly cozy yet it didn't feel cramped for my friend & I. It was clean & neat & I was so thankful for the heater after the drizzle outside. Erin is a great host, friendly & informative of the area. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin, my friend & I could not stop talking about what a great find this place was!"
1577342,24179181,2014-12-22,19974578,Kayla,"My stay at Erin's was fantastic. My sister and I really enjoyed the cozy loft, and Erin and Lynn were super welcoming and available for any questions. Definitely plan to make this a regular stay on trips to Austin! "
1577342,24729948,2015-01-02,3095016,Lucy,"Erin and Lynn were very responsive and welcoming. We didn't meet Erin in person, but Lynn was very friendly. Their dog, Snack, seemed sweet, though we only saw him through the window as we came and went. The neighborhood is residential, with private homes and big backyards. The lofted studio is exactly as it appears in the pictures. The hosts left detailed info about the place and great extensive recommendations.
Unfortunately, the weather in Austin during our stay was not great. It was cold and sometimes rainy -- which also wasn't the ideal weather for a stay in this studio. Though the studio has a pretty intense gas heater (with very clear instructions left by the hosts!), the heat rises immediately -- leaving the lofted bed area very cosy, but the ""downstairs"" main area just as cold as the outside, which didn't make hanging out in the space that easy. We imagined that visiting this studio would be great during warm days when you can enjoy sitting on the deck and taking in the greenery of the surrounding yards, etc, and wished we were in Austin during that time of year.
Also a note that the kitchen area (small sink and counter, no stove) and bathroom were both small - which isn't a big deal if you're planning to spend a lot of time eating elsewhere. We didn't need to use it, but great that they provide a washing machine."
1577342,24877522,2015-01-03,16479365,David,"Erin was very nice and welcoming when we arrived. Gave us a tour of the place and also had Austin guide books as well as personal favorites for us to read. Everything about the listing was spot on - it was very cozy and comfortable. Additionally, we were within 5 minutes of the UT campus and an additional 5 to downtown proper. We had a great time and highly reccommend this place!"
1577342,25055779,2015-01-05,3808164,Vincent,Very comfy studio ideally placed to go explore the city. Erin made sure we had everything we needed.
1577342,25176177,2015-01-08,23941019,Linda,"After a bit of miscommunication, Erin and Lynn were more than accommodating! The space is adorable and perfect for two people looking to stay in Austin. Everything you need is about an eight minute drive or a 10-15 walk. The neighborhood is quiet and has a great vibe. Their dog Snack is adorable! We look forward to staying here again the next time we visit Austin. "
1577342,25242135,2015-01-10,5937263,Kirsten,"we absolutely loved our stay in the tiny house. it was perfect for my husband & I to spend a few hours that evening, get a good nights sleep and then wake up & go in the morning. if we were there for any longer a little (tiny ;) couch would have been nice but not necessary. the hosts were great- non intrusive but friendly. "
1577342,25358034,2015-01-13,5433106,Joshua,I had a great time! Cute place and a cat with thumbs!!! Loved it. 
1577342,25420797,2015-01-15,3643967,Amanda,"Erin's home was perfect for my overnight In Austin. Besides the home being cozy and welcoming, Erin was easy to communicate with and was there to show me around and answer all my questions. I can't wait to come back for another visit! "
1577342,25622806,2015-01-20,26210543,Jordan,We could not have asked for a better time in Austin thanks to our time here. Hosts were prefect. The loft was perfect. The location was prefect. We would not have changed a thing. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer.
1577342,25682543,2015-01-23,8517320,Zufan," Communication leading up to my visit was great, Erin always responded promptly and checking in whenever I needed was no problem. The studio is awesome, a truly unique place to stay in Austin! There are nice restaurants and bars within walking distance, and downtown is minutes away by car or bus. There was lots of information left about things to do and places to go in Austin. Super friendly hosts who are available if you need anything. "
1577342,25865330,2015-01-27,1664565,Andrew,Erin's place was great!  She was very communicative and made the check in easy.  The place is spacious and full of natural light.  It's a quiet neighborhood but just a short drive from great food and sights.
1577342,25980544,2015-01-31,7633613,Morgan,It was so lovely staying in this space... what a unique place! Everything was just as described in the listing... We enjoyed meeting our hosts and their companion Snack! We would love to stay here again and would recommend to anyone looking for a great experience.
1577342,26122537,2015-02-03,16309475,Jackie,"Do yourself a favor and stay here. Trust me. The studio has everything you would need and then some, ALSO, you enter through the backyard which is nice so you don't have to worry about waking people up in case you stay out a little longer than expected. The place is convientely located and at most a 5 min drive to Rainey St and East 6th St. The hosts were very sweet. :-) "
1577342,26209888,2015-02-07,12356827,Margaret,"The space was absolutely perfect. Erin was very communicative and helpful before I arrived. It was easy to coordinate with her, even when my flight was delayed and my arrival time pushed back."
1577342,26252843,2015-02-08,1509074,Emily,"Hands down - this was an unforgettable East Austin experience. Erin and Lynn's studio has everything you could possible need PLUS an abundance of natural light and midcentury modern charm. We walked 5 minutes up the road to have dinner at one of Austin's best restaurants (The Salty Sow) and ended our evening making s'mores outside by their fire pit! They came out and chatted with us for a while, which was the icing on the cake. These ladies are interesting and awesome, their studio is charming and efficient, and the location is perfect. Seriously, what more could you ask for?"
1577342,26585792,2015-02-16,8974139,Ari,"Erin and her family made us feel incredibly welcome. The place was beautiful, full of light, perfect for 1 person or 2 people travelling together. Great location (10 minute walk from delicious restaurants, bike rental, health food store, etc.) and quiet, friendly neighbourhood. It was a great spot for discovering Austin and all that it has to offer. 
We could't recommend it more! "
1577342,26841787,2015-02-20,16684221,Cody,"Erin immediately made me feel welcome by reaching out and making sure that I was able to find her home and get situated. While I was unable to meet Erin because of my short stay, her correspondence and hospitality made a huge difference on my work trip!

The studio in the backyard of her home is small and cozy and really made me want to have something similar in my home! It is simple, but perfect. There is on-demand heating and AC, a refrigerator, and a comfy little loft to sleep, relax, and spend some time reading while enjoying the ambience of the studio!

Would definitely stay here again :)"
1577342,26880049,2015-02-21,8244959,Nicholas,"Great place.  We didn't have a chance to meet, but Erin was easy to communicate with before my arrival, and everything was set up wonderfully.  The spot is located in a great part of Austin, especially if you are headed downtown or by UT / central Austin."
1577342,27040049,2015-02-23,28072689,Andrew,"Awesome place, the pictures show exactly what it's like. The bed was comfy and cozy. Erin was very kind and Snack the dog is very sweet! We will definitely stay again in Austin if its available! "
1577342,27407716,2015-03-03,10814520,Chris,"First time in Austin. My girlfriend and I crashed here for a night and we loved it.  It is a awesome little quirky place, very clean and well maintained.  Really perfect for a short stay, and close proximity to an awesome neighborhood.

I loved a lot about the east side neighborhood.  From Erin's place you are a short drive or bike ride away from many cool cafes, bars, and restaurants.  

I spent a lot of time on Manor hanging out with friends at Haymaker and the Butterfly Bar.  We grabbed great eats at El Chilito for awesome breakfast tacos and Patrizi's Italian food cart.  Also close by is Micklewaith Smoked Meats, amazing BBQ served up by super friendly locals.

The 5th and 6th street areas also had a great mix of music, art, and good street eats.  I'd recommend dropping by the Lion's Nest if your interested in local art and graphic design.  I picked up a couple fun affordable pieces.

Austin is not a great walking town, but with a bike or car you can really experience a lot in this neighborhood as there is much more than we could see and eat in the short weekend we were in the area.  This tiny little place is a perfect microcosm of the quirky creativity and unique vibe.  One of many hidden gems in East Side Austin!"
1577342,27586189,2015-03-08,25687311,Andrea,My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. This studio is really cozy. The weather in Austin was not that great the week we were there so we were happy to have a place that felt homey and warm. Erin and her family were welcoming and helpful. The place was clean and had what we needed (including a hair dryer and washing machine!). We also loved their cat Thumbalina! 
1577342,28470867,2015-03-24,19248088,Anna,"We had such a wonderful visit! The space was bright and beautiful and quiet! So perfect to return home to after full days of SXSW-ing. Three of us stayed here, two on the loft bed, one on an aerobed downstairs and the space was ample! Erin, knowing we had a third person staying downstairs even contributed a futon mattress which made our stay even more comfortable. All in all an exceptional experience. We loved it, and we loved Snack & the cats, the resident pets. :)

Will definitely be back."
1577342,28870229,2015-03-31,11949569,Neal,"I had a great time in Austin staying at Erin & Lynn's place. The bed is comfy, the 'nabe is full of fun places to work/eat, and there's a ton of light in the loft. If you're coming to town by yourself - definitely consider staying here!!"
1577342,28952550,2015-04-01,405154,Rae,"Super cute and cozy studio that is perfect for a couple or one person. It's within walking distance to coffee houses, restaurants and local entertainment.  I highly recommend the listing!"
1577342,29265963,2015-04-06,12373830,Kayla,Erin was so lovely and made us feel welcomed when we arrived and our whole trip to Austin! The loft was perfect for my boyfriend and myself and we loved that it was private and we had our own kitchen and bathroom. She also let us so late check in and was so flexible with our schedule. I would recommend for anyone who is visiting Austin to stay here.
1577342,29495908,2015-04-08,12144814,Kosuke,"This was very special airb&b experience that we especially 3 year old daughter enjoyed the cute small house, backyard, cat and chickens. Erin was kind and cool."
1577342,29566095,2015-04-09,17270114,Tarah,"This was the perfect place to stay for our family. Our 18 month old stayed in a pack'n'play on the spacious main floor while we found the loft to be super cozy! Erin and Lynn were the friendliest hosts, and were so accommodating, giving suggestions, having a stock of guidebooks and local recommendations, as well as french-press coffee that got our day started right!  

The neighborhood was welcoming and so unique; I really appreciated how each homeowner is reinventing and creating through their own space! Manor St. just a quick walk away is home to delicious breakfast tacos, unique shops, pastries and coffee, and JuiceLand just up the road delivers!! 

Would recommend this place to anyone and hope we can come stay again! "
1577342,29730425,2015-04-12,24855181,Jimmi,The tiny house was adorable! It was far more roomy than we expected. It was clean & cozy. It was very close to all the activities we had planned. Our weekend in Austin was a blast! Thanks Erin!
1577342,29918535,2015-04-14,24836064,Megan,"Erin was an excellent host, who made us feel welcome right from the start even though we didn't arrive until later in the evening. The house is adorable - exactly how the picture portrays it, with a cute backyard and a fun puppy. The house was very comfortable for two people, and is in a great location with amazing brunch spots within walking distance. We loved our stay in the studio and would absolutely come back on our next trip. "
1577342,30199570,2015-04-19,26426444,Brad,The apartment was great and the hosts were really accommodating. I would recommend this property highly.
1577342,30310024,2015-04-20,6491728,Alexandra,"Highly recommend Erin's place! It looks just like the pictures, except that the pictures don't capture all the cool details that make the loft and the backyard unique. 

We felt like we got a true Austin experience and loved that Erin included recommendations for places within walking distance, as well as detailed instructions for using public transit/bike share.

Loft is cozy, clean and a great example of doing a lot with just a little bit of space. We loved it!"
1577342,30604388,2015-04-25,12667252,Dori,"This place is awesome! Cozy yet roomy, bright and comfortable, the studio was a great place to relax while exploring Austin. Erin and Lynne are accommodating, warm and truly the perfect hosts. We highly recommend this cute place anytime you are in Austin. "
1577342,30863159,2015-04-28,6130836,Henning,"Erin and Lynn were great hosts, very welcoming and with great tips and advice for where to go and what to do in the neighborhood and Austin itself. Its been a real pleasure staying at their place, which is located in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. The studio was exactly as described but it is even better once you are actually there. The porch is a great spot to hang out and relax. My girlfriend and I had a perfect stay here and can only highly recommend this place for a stay in Austin."
1577342,30946518,2015-04-29,22261247,Kenny,"Erin made us feel very welcome in her lovely studio. Her daughter and their dog were very friendly too. The neighborhood was a perfect refuge, but also within a not-too-long walking distance, in several directions, from great restaurants, coffee shops, and their like."
1577342,31290810,2015-05-04,12734330,Casey,Erin's studio is an awesome place to stay for a trip to Austin. It had everything that a hotel would have (but way more unique). Erin was super personable and gave some excellent recommendations for local gems. Would definitely stay here again!
1577342,31934405,2015-05-12,3481948,Jenny,"Erin and Lynn were very nice and they provided plenty of good recommendations for things to do around their cute, light-filled studio. It was a short walk to great coffee and food (which includes breakfast tacos), and just a short drive to explore many cool places nearby. Thanks!"
1577342,32122399,2015-05-14,13361805,Josh,Amazing loft! Couldn't be more thrilled with the space and my comfy stay there. Can't wait to go back! Huge thank you to Erin for being so responsive and accommodating. 
1577342,32541884,2015-05-19,6321455,William,"Thanks Erin for a wonderful stay! The studio was exactly as described on the listing and just enough space for two people. We found everything to be clean and in working order.

Erin recommended some great places to eat and was overall very accommodating for our stay. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and parking was easy!

I would definitely come again. Thanks!!"
1577342,32965370,2015-05-24,1825322,Catherine,"We had an excellent stay at Erin's backyard loft. Everything was just as described - great neighborhood in a central location, and the loft was perfect for our needs. My 6'6"" boyfriend was even comfortable in the bed. The layout of the loft was clever and efficient, and it felt very homey and comfortable. 

I was in town for a wedding and was busy prepping for the festivities, so I didn't get a chance to meet Erin until our last morning there. She was very warm and hospitable. She contacted me soon after we arrived to welcome us and asked if there was anything we needed. Our plans changed unexpectedly prior to checking in, and she had graciously allowed us to cancel two nights of our stay.  A great experience staying there, and I highly recommend it. "
1577342,33537730,2015-05-29,5651048,Cheryl,"Due to our schedule, we didn't get to personally meet with Erin, but she was very responsive (via email) and we loved the little loft.  We would recommend this home for a few fabulous nights in Austin!"
1577342,33776191,2015-06-01,14316298,Annick,Erin was a great host! The loft was very cute and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again if I ever find myself in Austin again. She responded to questions very quickly and was sure we had everything we needed. 
1577342,34080067,2015-06-04,10170609,Dean & Jody,"Very gracious host. Loved chatting with her before our departure. The studio is a perfect place to stay for a couple or single. Great location, has everything we needed. "
1577342,34453104,2015-06-08,23591324,Brandon,"Erin and Lynn were wonderful hosts, and we felt very welcomed.  The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located.  The loft space has character and we felt like we were staying in a grown ups tree house."
1577342,34873467,2015-06-13,10350039,Chelsea,"In short, this place was awesome. My boyfriend and I had an amazing time in Austin and a large part of that is owed to staying in this place. It's cozy, well kept, and a nice place to come back to after exploring for the day. The hosts were super nice and gave great suggestions for things to do and places to eat. We'd absolutely stay here if we travel through the area again. "
1577342,35104822,2015-06-15,31339420,Eric,"This was our first trip to Austin and we absolutely enjoyed our stay at Erin and Lynn's loft. It was quiet and conveniently located to the places we wanted to check out. The accommodations were exactly as described. We didn't have a chance to meet our hosts but they were highly responsive to any questions we had during our stay. If we have any family or friends heading to Austin, we will certainly recommend that they stay here. 100% happy. "
1577342,35609711,2015-06-20,19417101,Kendel,"Erin and Lynn were welcoming and super helpful. They were so flexible letting us check in early and leave our bags in the loft as we had a late flight. The loft is really cute, clean and has everything you need. Walking distance to Manor Rd which is a very cool area for food and bars. The dog Snack was super friendly and good for those travelers who have left pets and home and need a fix! Snack is more than happy to play a round of frisbee with you. 
Great space, great hosts in a great town. "
1577342,37373790,2015-07-06,12218536,Jeff,"Erin and Lynn were great hosts! Very polite, friendly and conversational, they both greeted us upon our arrival after a long drive from Tulsa to Austin. We had a wonderful stay at their beautiful lofted studio that is located in a cool little neighborhood very near downtown. There are restaurants, bars and coffee shops on Manor Road within walking distance. 

The space was exactly as described and it was very clean and cool in the Texas summer weather. A/C worked great and is positioned perfectly in the loft area for maximum comfort when sleeping. Speaking of sleeping, the bed is comfortable and it was fun climbing up into the loft every night. Kind of reminded me of the bunk beds I had as a kid. 

There is a nice deck just outside the front door and great for relaxing with a beer. If Snack (their super sweet dog) is around, you can play fetch with him. 

Any questions we had were promptly answered by Erin. Great response rate!

I can't recommend this space and the wonderful hosts enough. They are very knowledgable of Austin and will provide you with all sorts of fun options for things to do. It's an excellent place to stay for one person or a couple. We loved it! "
1577342,38022301,2015-07-12,9967214,Molly,"Erin's loft space was perfect!  Playful and peacefully quiet with a welcoming porch to start your day on.  It's on the east side of town and so is away from the busy hustle and bustle, which is what I was looking for.  The space itself is delightful, I felt like I was at camp climbing up the ladder for bed.  Erin was very responsive and welcoming.  Highly recommend this wonderful, quiet spot."
1577342,39061692,2015-07-20,28717327,Asia,"We absolutely LOVED our stay here! Could not have asked for a more perfect studio in such a great location. After exploring Austin during the day we were always excited to come back to this cozy little place at night! Erin, her family, and Snack (the puppy) were very kind and welcoming. Would definitely stay here again! "
1577342,40615134,2015-08-01,35716428,Alissa,We had such a great time staying at Erin's. She and her family were great hosts and the place was adorable! Would happily stay there again and suggest friends to do so as well! 
8174547,50700569,2015-10-13,6168128,Sean,"Sal was very accommodating, he made my trip even more enjoyable.. 10/10 would recommend to friends..."
5630279,30308926,2015-04-20,29280177,Kirk,"Our stay in Austin was not what we were expecting as we were looking for something a little more private. However, since it is a new space I am sure the kinks we will be worked out soon. Lindsey responded quickly and gave us a partial refund. I don't expect her to do that every time but it was nice that she accommodated to our situation. 
The space is much more of an upscale hostel, where guests are encouraged to interact within this community space. You won't have much privacy but you might be the type that doesn't care. The location is great for younger people wanting to experience downtown and 6th street for an affordable rate compared to the expensive downtown hotels.  Altogether, Lindsey is a good host that will take care of you. Just don't expect your own condo type of experience. "
5630279,30809174,2015-04-27,2760301,Brian,Lindsey created a wonderful community loft experience which is an unparalleled place from which to visit Austin. She was lovely to work with and clearly has a great commitment to her guests. I highly recommend staying here if your travels take you to Austin.
5630279,31136289,2015-05-02,31598359,Robin,"I had I great time at my airbnb accommodation in Austin. Lindsey is an excellent host and I'd thoroughly recommend staying at this accommodation. It's clean, comfortable and very centrally located. Lindsey is very charming and gave me several recommendations on where to go and what to see. I will certainly try and stay there the next time I visit Austin."
5630279,31332495,2015-05-04,29714570,Emily,Lindsey was a fantastic host. She is very easy-going and accommodating. The other house guests were very friendly and outgoing as well which made for a very stress-free getaway. The house was well-kept and a perfect distance to all the local hot-spots. We will definitely stay here again. 
5630279,31587771,2015-05-07,28390641,Meghan,"This place is great. It's situation about a mile maybe less from everything you may want to do. This hostile isn't large its small with maybe 6 beds and has an urban warehouse feel with just enough touch of home. Lindsey, the host is great to interact with an is available to give an insight you may need about what to do. I loved staying here!"
5630279,32415183,2015-05-17,21406929,Chuhan,"I've never seen anything like this! Great facility with wonderful people sharing this community space;) The single room I stayed in was comfortable yet too closed off with no window or air circulation at all. There is still very strong paint/furniture smell in the room so after a night of sleep inside with closed door, I woke with a headache. Other than that, unique experience! "
5630279,34416594,2015-06-08,30110291,Kate,"Kaela, who was my contact person for this listing, was friendly and very helpful and flexible with check in and check out times. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but the loft is loud. The room shares a wall with the bathroom and every time someone took a shower, it woke me up. Also, there are no windows in the room, so it's very dark at night/in the morning with the lights off- this actually helped me sleep in though, which was great. 

When I was there, there were a handful of other occupants at the loft, and everyone was on the whole very polite and nice. The only issue, besides the noise of the shower, was that the thermostat was somewhat on the fritz, so it got a bit warm at night. It wasn't too much of a problem, but those particularly sensitive to heat may wish to inquire about it."
5630279,37423804,2015-07-06,36144098,Alyssa,Lindsey was a great host! Everything regarding checking in and out was explained well and easy to manage. The room was clean and convenient. The other people staying in the house at the time made the experience even more enjoyable! They were all super warm and welcoming. 
5630279,45787569,2015-09-06,33296047,Lauren,"Lindsey and Kaela were the best hosts I could have asked for during my summer in Austin. They were so accommodating, from figuring out my rooming situation to stocking the fridge with some food staples to enjoying fun nights out in Austin with the everyone in the hostel. The place itself was great - right at the heart of downtown. The kitchen was pretty and new, the bathroom was always clean, and the desks were so helpful to get work done. The red room was nice and quiet. I would recommend setting an alarm even if you plan to sleep in a bit; the lack of natural light makes the room a cozy cave. Everything about my stay was so perfect! Thank you Lindsey and Kaela!"
5630279,48520287,2015-09-27,21723564,Lionel,First time in Austin and this was the perfect spot to hang out for a few days. The hosts made me feel very welcome. Place was clean and the room I stayed in was very spacious. Fellow people staying at the location were also polite and I didn't have any problems with noise or interactions. I highly recommend it! 
5630279,51289354,2015-10-19,42308185,Nicholas,"I loved being in the centre of town, everything was within walking distance.  Kaela was a brilliant host, one night she invited me to drinks with her friends and we had a great time on the Speakeasy rooftop bar.    The room was ideal, I think I met about 20 new people in a week through everyone staying at the same time - awesome fun! Will definitely be back."
5630279,52059101,2015-10-26,26591781,Christophe,"The instructions are very clear and cover quite everything. Kaela, the contact person, answers quickly.

The loft is clean, well decorated, nice, and very well located. The other people are polite that I could meet were nice and polite.

Afterwards, I found he description very succinct and could be more complete, but it's clean and nice, the bed is good enough. There are two little minus:
- the walls are wooden and badly soundproofed, as consequence, the place is noisy, even if people are careful. Earplugs are then really useful.
- the room doesn't have any window and very dark.

All in all, it's a good quality/price ratio."
5630279,52692427,2015-11-01,4738918,Conor,"Lindsay we very attentive when I arrived and she went out of her way to show up at the loft and show me around. I think her listing description was very accurate. You obviously need to be comfortable staying in a shared space with others to enjoy the loft, however the room I had was large, had a walk in closet and a desk. It was slightly stuffy as it lacked circulation. 

Very close to downtown, river, 6th st, and a 4-5 minute walk to Rainey st. I couldn't have picked a better location in Austin to be honest. 

I was busy with a conference and didn't have much time to chat with the other guests, but they seems pretty cool and I think Lindsey has an effective vetting process.  "
5169702,28166636,2015-03-19,617119,Ashley,"Lucy and Pete were incredibly welcoming and sweet. I greatly enjoyed their hospitality, and will try to stay there again next time I'm in Austin! "
5169702,29186085,2015-04-05,3666558,Caitlin,Lucy was a great host. The room was perfect for us and close enough to walk (15min) to east 6th st. A lovely home with great hosts! 
5169702,30843395,2015-04-27,31743549,Michael,Exactly what we were hoping for. Great house. Great location. Great hosts. Easy walking distance to downtown (we ended up walking both to downtown and back during our stay). Lucy and Pete are all around great people and made our first airbnb experience a positive one. 
5169702,30917388,2015-04-28,4481385,Aly & River,The reservation was canceled 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5169702,31598524,2015-05-07,7194153,Jessica,"I came down for a mini remote-working vacation before a conference, and found Lucy and Pete's house to be the perfect place to unwind before a busy few days. The house is as adorable as it looks in the pics, and the hosts are very down-to-earth and really made me feel at home. The walk to downtown is about 20 minutes, but there are a number of cute restaurants and bars along the way as well (top pick - Gourmands, which is only a few blocks from the house). I definitely recommend Lucy and Pete's!"
5169702,31755022,2015-05-09,27625538,Erin,"Lucy and Pete were so incredibly welcoming, and their house is adorable! They've done such a great job of creating a cozy and awesome little space, and it's in a great location. It was a pleasure getting to meet both of them, and I would love to stay with them again when I'm back in the area."
5169702,33134780,2015-05-25,32146601,Allison,Lucy's house was wonderful! Very charming and full of character. Close enough to downtown. We took uber everywhere and it was very easy. Lucy was very sweet. She even offered us fresh eggs from her chickens. Would highly suggest staying here!
5169702,34583084,2015-06-09,3949423,Jessica,"Lucy was out of town so we had the pleasure of meeting Pete. Extremely gracious host, great place, comfy bed, with a location about a mile from downtown. If it wasn't for the heat we would've taken Pete up on his offer of his bikes for sure. He recommended some amazing places to eat and things to do since it was my boyfriend and I's first trip to Austin. If they're still doing airbnb when we return in the future, we won't hesitate. "
5169702,45397784,2015-09-02,168525,Gus,"We loved our stay at Lucy's!
Lucy and Pete were totally awesome... very sweet people. They were helpful and friendly and all basically everything was easy-peasy.
The place was super cute, as in the pictures... clean and comfy.

Cute backyard... the chicken's lay delicious eggs.... the queen bed was perfect. All in all...awesome!  we will definitely stay here again!"
5169702,46018823,2015-09-07,41711613,Megan,"Lucy was a great host, very friendly and inviting! The house was cute and open and the perfect place to stay for a couple of nights. The neighborhood was pretty quiet and felt safe. It's not too far from downtown and fairly easy to get around. Thanks for the stay Lucy!"
5169702,49131909,2015-10-01,1583547,Jon,The location was convenient for us and we mostly had the house to ourselves.  it was a place that we would stay again at.
5169702,50496318,2015-10-12,9953419,David,"Lucy wasn't there that weekend, but Pete was able to give us directions to let us in.  He also gave us a great breakfast taco spot around the neighborhood.  The neighborhood is very nice - it's very quiet but also close enough walk to the downtown area.  

We were able to stay in the the front bedroom of the house which was very well kept. The house is very nice and we were able to use the wi-fi and stereo system without any trouble.

Great stay in Austin - I would recommend this place!"
7237000,46642511,2015-09-12,1516908,Greg,"Chris's place is amazing.  Close to tons of restaurants and bars.  Easy walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joes, etc.  The trail around Town Lake is very short walk.  And the apartment is perfect.  Very comfortable.  The bed is great.  I absolutely loved staying there."
7237000,47767798,2015-09-21,42513176,Megan,"The host was very hospitable and conscientious. He followed up with us before we arrived and checked in until he knew we were safe and sound! He was also very accessible whenever we needed to reach him and was very ready to help provide recommendations for the area. The place was lovely, clean, modern and comfortable and the neighborhood was great - close walk to downtown. With a few additional touches, such as a welcome manual and some more kitchenware, it will be an absolutely perfect BnB! Thanks, Chris for a great time. "
7237000,48238517,2015-09-24,13781092,Kathleen,"Christopher was super responsive, and the apartment was great. Centrally located, easy walk to everything, and very comfortable. "

7237000,49773275,2015-10-06,38587488,Jason,"Chris was great. He was very helpful with navigating our first time in Austin and for ACL.  The place is fantastic walking distance to parks, bars, and great restaurants."
7237000,50642463,2015-10-13,1622594,Kristina,Chris has been nothing but amazing. His responses are instantaneous! It doesn't matter if you're messaging him at 7am or 11pm. He even checked in a couple of times to make sure if I got in ok and if I needed anything. His condo was immaculate. Everything was spotless. I felt at home! Would definitely come back here again. GREAT location and AWESOME host. FIVE STARS all the way! :-)
7237000,51451965,2015-10-20,43706738,Erika,"Chris was super helpful  (offering tips and suggestions. He provided the perfect level of communication.

6303442,32145248,2015-05-14,23493746,Drew,"I stayed in Carrie's home 1-2 miles outside of downtown. It was a lovely street and encouraged me to explore more of Austin during my short visit. Carrie was accommodating of my arrival time and very helpful in navigating the city. Her home was clean, as described, and even included a friendly dog!"
6303442,32304173,2015-05-16,2589204,Diego,The place was beautiful and the host were really welcoming! Recommend it for anyone who feels like walking around a great neighboorhood!

Carrie's place is in a great location!"
6303442,34926059,2015-06-13,33394983,Chase,"My first Airbnb experience was bad ass.  Carrie was extremely helpful, friendly and fun.  Did I mention she's a jazz cat, chef and terrible at pool?  

The bed was great!  Stay was great!  Carrie claim to be the best host and she does damn good job.

Carrie rules. "
6303442,37423654,2015-07-06,549726,Pamela,"Darrin couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming . The room was very charming & the location very convenient.
We enjoyed our stay & will return."
6303442,38230131,2015-07-13,37949955,Theresa,This place was great and located right near downtown Austin. An uber into the city costs about $8. Carrie had excellent recommendations for us. This was our first time using Air BNB and we enjoyed it! 
6303442,38361959,2015-07-14,37083789,Jessica,I contacted the host on pretty short same day notice and she got back to me very quickly and made sure I could get in when I was ready! Darrin was super awesome and helpful too!
6303442,38467263,2015-07-15,1511749,Mike,Great check in process and communication. Nicely decorated space just a short uber ride from all the downtown action Austin has to offer. I would definitely stay here again. 
6303442,38784689,2015-07-18,36971825,Alexander,"Had a fantastic stay at Carrie's place, though Darren was the host at the property at the time. He was great, very helpful as we knew nothing about Austin! Interesting chap to talk to and kindly made us breakfast on the day we left. The bed is super comfy, the house safe and in a good location. Would definitely stay again, thank you "
6303442,39104740,2015-07-20,38296578,Joe,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it could not have been better. Carrie was very responsive and coordinated my contact with Darren, who was managing during our weekend. Darren was wonderful and provided great advice and service.

I will definitely recommend Carrie/this property to anyone I know who is traveling to Austin! "
6303442,39356834,2015-07-22,28636440,Una,"The apt was a pleasant surprise. it was clean, charming, convenient and in a safe neighborhood. There is a cafe and book store right across the street. You can basically walk to many places within 20 mins. UT Austin, Texas Capitol, downtown and beyond! It was the owner's friend, Darren, who greeted me he was nice, commutative and helpful! The apartment def mad my Austin experience even better! Def recommend it! "
6303442,39665831,2015-07-25,18502449,Edward,"What a great host and a great room. Flexible with arrival time and very welcoming, with recommendations and answers to all my questions about the area. Beautiful apartment and unbeatable location, if a little bright. I wholeheartedly recommend it!"
6303442,40050684,2015-07-27,1176690,Yanev,"Darren was welcoming and helpful, so no issues there.  But I did find the room disappointing.  There is one bathroom for all 3 rooms, which isn't clear in the posting, and our room was particularly hot during the day.  And since the living room is basically unfurnished, you don't have much of an option.  The bedroom also doesn't have any closets or space beyond a little ottoman to put your clothes/bags/etc.  

Location was good, as was internet.  All said and done, I probably wouldn't stay again at this price point."
6303442,40189011,2015-07-28,19217389,Jody,"Let's start with the good. 1) VERY helpful host (even from out of the country) 2) GREAT location! 3) Great Price for location. Unfortunately, there were a few things that really put a damper on stay. 1) it was HOT! Like REALLY hot! I know it is TX in summer but the room was CRAZY hot. I asked for a fan and there was not one. 2) LIGHT! When we came back from dinner and walked in the room it was like BROAD DAYLIGHT! They only have sheer curtains on the window and there is a streetlight directly outside the one window and then parking garage lights outside the other. And these are not small windows! I took the blanket off the bed (because we were not going to use it HOT) and hung it over the curtain rod and got another blanket from car. This made it so we could at least get some sleep. NOW both heat and light issues could be fixed with some shade. As the windows let a ton of heat in and were also west facing. If they put up shades and grab a fan this place is great! 
There are also B-Bikes right outside the door and you can ride all over including south congress, the river, and downtown!"
6303442,40298615,2015-07-29,6159474,Jennifer,This was a great location and very convenient for a quick trip. Our host was very welcoming and gave very good advice!
6303442,40694599,2015-08-01,39931239,Aaron,"Super clean, artsy, beautiful and cozy. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures, and it's very close to all the fun stuff to do in Austin. Thanks for making our first time in Austin so enjoyable!"
6303442,41690973,2015-08-08,39026218,Marion,"Carrie wasn't here, but Darren welcome us really well! He gave us really great tip for what to do and where to go around LA. 
The house was really clean and really cozy. The neighborhood was really close to a lot of things and we always felt really safe!! 
We really enjoy the stay and we will come back without hesitation!!!"
6303442,42240582,2015-08-11,31105373,Joey,"I had a great stay. Carrie was out of country, but Darren was very helpful over the phone and through text messaging. The bedroom and apartment as a whole were clean and beautifully decorated. There was a fan in the room, which I didn't really need, but it was nice to have as an option. Great location. I would definitely recommend booking with Carrie. I"
6303442,42765467,2015-08-15,2037030,Niranjan,"I enjoyed my stay at this home. It was a bit awkward the first couple of days when the shared bathroom did not have a door lock, but it was fixed later so it became more comfortable. The location is close enough to downtown and the price is right. Definitely recommend the place. "
6303442,43528877,2015-08-20,14214308,Pierre-Antoine,"Great house, very well located. The room is lovely decorated. Nevertheless, bed sheets were already used."
6303442,44181457,2015-08-24,16195162,Duncan,"Recently had an enjoyable stay at Carrie's. At the time of my say Carrie was not around so was looked after by her friend Darren, a very nice and helpful guy.

Accomodation largely as described. Room comfortable, bed was good. Only draw back was that even with the curtains drawn all day still became pretty hot in the room (wouldn't have dropped much below 30-32). Bedroom was a bit on the sparse side in terms of where to put your stuff but certainly able to more than make do. Only other disappointment was that the shower was pretty tepid.

Location worked well for me, was an easy walk to the Capitol, and from there easy to get to most other places on foot I found. Public transport limited but that seems like an Austin thing. Bike-share 'station' just up the road and always easy to uber somewhere; no more than 10 bucks to anywhere I really went.

Overall thought it was pretty reasonable and would recommend someone staying here if this is the price, location and experience that you're after.

"
6303442,44490652,2015-08-26,34957664,Kenneth,Carrie's friend Darren welcomed us and he was very friendly. Would definitely reccomend staying at this location if you're looking for a place convienent for seeing the highlights of central Austin.
6303442,44715707,2015-08-28,39963087,Kim,"Had a great stay, Carrie's room is a good size and bed is comfy. Darren is also very accommodating. "
6303442,44939667,2015-08-30,10922909,Nima,"Nice cozy place and hospitable hosts. Would stay again. Although I never had the chance to meet Carrie, her friend Darren was nice enough to drive me to a dinner spot that he recommended. Very nice of him. "
6303442,45635182,2015-09-04,8650568,Kelly,"Although I did not meet Carrie she was responsive in the beginning and gave me all the contact details for her friend Darren who was meeting us.  Darren was very pleasant and gave us a few tips for Austin!  We were only there one night but we were comfortable and made some new friends with the couple staying there.  The house is clean,unique and gorgeous and I highly recommend staying here.  It was so close to everything we wanted to see.  Closest place I could find to West 6th.  Shower had great pressure which is always a bonus! "
6303442,46152316,2015-09-08,38370441,Grace,"Carrie and Darren were nice and responsive. The accommodation was in a good location, nicely decorated and well equipped for the Austin heat. The showers were a little colder than expected but everything else was fine. "
6303442,46832818,2015-09-13,23131542,Jim,"I didn't get a chance to meet Carrie, but she was super accommodating & helpful on the phone. I did meet her partner, Darren, however & he is amazing. He is super knowledgeable of all the best places to eat & visit in Austin. I'm on my Harley & one evening when it was raining, he drove me all around the downtown music & bar area in his car. We then went out for BBQ in a very improbable place, Whole Foods. Food was great & the place was fun. Darren is an incredible host."
6303442,47228150,2015-09-16,5112153,Shaun,"Carrie and Darren were great. Darren made me feel welcome and went out of his way to make it clear that he was happy to help.

The reason that I booked the room was the price and location. It's far and away the best value for anyone wants to stay downtown. 

There are some issues that come with the lower price. I found the bed fairly lumpy. It was adequate for sleeping, but a long way from comfortable. The curtain in the bathroom may as well have not been there; you could see right through it. 

The most uncomfortable aspect of the place was the boudoir theme. There are pictures of naked women everywhere, which is not an environment that I would have placed myself in intentionally. I would have known that had I paid more attention to the reviews in advance..."
6303442,47655212,2015-09-21,12097796,Rachel,"I did not actually work with Carrie at all but I did work with Darren. He was extremely nice and accommodating. He was flexible with our check in time which was so helpful to us!! The room is as pictured and comfortable. A lot of reviews complain about it being too hot. We were very comfortable! The room has thermal curtains and a really nice fan.
The listing was not clear that we would be sharing the bathroom with another guest and with Darren. We paid in total $156/night. I thought that was reasonable until I realized we were all sharing a bathroom. That is way too high for that I think. We have shared a bathroom in the past at another Airbnb but we paid like $50/night. Also, we had no access to the closet in the room, it was locked. This caused us to have a mess of stuff through out the room. "
6303442,47949889,2015-09-21,3638640,Trent,"Carrie's apartment was a fun little place to stay. A really cool entrance stairway, and a nicely decorated and clean and secure home. Nice and close to downtown, I walked into 6th street in not much more than 10 minutes!

I didn't get to meet Carrie unfortunately, as my booking was quite a last minute one, after my flight out being overbooked. I did briefly meet her partner Darren who also manages the property, and he is a friendly and helpful guy!

Carrie was really prompt in message responses and also really friendly.

I would definitely recommend a stay at this residence!"
6303442,48221006,2015-09-24,42581631,Shuvawn,This was a great first Airbnb experience for my daughter and me.  It's a terrific location if you want to be in the heart of downtown Austin but feel like you're at home. Would recommend it.
6303442,48331902,2015-09-25,30715925,Andrea,Super easy check in and check out! Perfect crash pad for a night out in Austin! I would definitely stay again! 
6303442,49297686,2015-10-02,44175218,Conner,"Carrie was super helpful and gave me easy instructions. Her place was so nice, clean and the bed was more comfortable than the one I have a home! Beautiful, safe, and convenient location too.  "
6303442,49875629,2015-10-07,18265480,Michele,"Our host, Darren, was wonderful. He kept the apartment clean, and was readily available for any questions we had. The house itself was perfect for our 1st trip to Austin. It is in a very convenient location. There are awesome food places around, and a fun coffee/skate shop across the street. I would recommend this rental to anyone!!"
6303442,50052548,2015-10-08,2017801,David,Great stay in Austin! Carrie's place was everything I was looking for such a popular area. Walkable to many things and important in that part of town: parking. Checking in couldn't have been easier and the whole shared space situation was clean and well thought out. 
6303442,50554674,2015-10-12,37364297,Ron,This property was in a great location. It was clean and had everything we were looking for. The AC was great. Parking was great. Walked to Austin Java for breakfast which was great as well.
6303442,50770036,2015-10-14,6604823,Brian,"The PERFECT AirBnB experience -- host was friendly and responsive to all questions, room was clean and quiet, and location is perfect -- walking distance to all of downtown Austin."
6303442,50860466,2015-10-15,42769657,Carlos,The host was very welcoming and was able to answer the many questions I had. Thank you for providing us with a lovely space. 
6303442,51160132,2015-10-18,44312838,Matt,"Great location, easy to find, Darren was there when I went. He was helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable and as described. No complaints."
6303442,51679492,2015-10-22,1767946,Taylor,Carrie wasn't there but Darren was. Darren was great. He was very prompt with communication and made sure he was at the house upon my arrival. They write your name on a chalk board hanging from one of the two rooms they airbnb out. (Nice little touch) Everything was great about my stay and would stay again if they allowed me to. Location is great as well right off 12th and a major cross street.
6303442,51783766,2015-10-24,45813762,David,"The room was great.  The bed was super comfortable.  The house was clean.  I did not meet Carrie or Darren, but I didn't need to.  I definitely felt as though if I needed something I could've gotten it.  Everything was ready when I first arrived.  The location is great.  They say you can Uber it for about $5-7 to downtown.  We walked it, because it's only about 12 minutes. (FYI Austin is full of hills)"
6303442,52365777,2015-10-28,44242068,Calais,"I got in late and Darren was very accommodating to that. I didn't spend much time at the place. My name was written on a little chalkboard on my door. I thought it was a nice touch. There are tasteful boudoir photos and a nice lavender scent throughout the house.

The floor could have been a bit more tidy. There was quite a bit of hair and dust. Thankfully I had flipflops with me for when I got out of the shower.

Conveniently, I needed to find a place to live at the last minute during my visit and Darren was super helpful. He sat down with me (well past my checkout time) and mapped out apartments, then drove me to a few in the area and told me all about the city."
6303442,52398224,2015-10-29,41105774,Carole,Darran was great in communicating with me on how to open the key box.  I had a good night sleep.  Thank you !
6303442,52859404,2015-11-02,40603535,Dan And Amelia,"These guys have it down to a science! Super accommodating and easy to check-in. Darren was ready with maps and suggestions. Thanks, y'all!"
1001400,28860412,2015-03-31,21685654,Alexa,"Alica was awesome! Great house, great location. Nice place to stay while you're visiting ATX."
1001400,36940750,2015-07-03,27767790,Benoit,"I very much enjoyed my 3-month stay at Alicia's place! The room, kitchen and bathroom are all fully equipped. Communication with Alicia was always super easy & friendly! :) The apartment is just a 10-minute bus ride from downtown and the Capitol. I would definitely come back!"
1001400,41392840,2015-08-07,36606233,Samuel,"Alicia my host was interesting as she made me comfortable In the apartment. 
The environment is quite and peaceful. 
I love the fact that I am able to do all of my cooking in the kitchen. 
Alicia took me out for drink and we went to Radio Coffee Shop to listen to country music.
I would love to visit and stay in this apartment again when I come to the Austin.
I recommend this property to everyone willing to have peace of mind in an apartment. "
1001400,46546238,2015-09-11,20177353,Jessica,"My boyfriend and I were desperate for a place to stay after our long-stay hotel lease ended, and Alicia came to the rescue! She responded very quickly to our request and was definitely one of the best hosts I've ever had. Even though we never met her face-to-face, she made sure our month stay was super enjoyable. The art around the house was amazing as well!"
7179689,40019804,2015-07-27,27571817,Saulo,"I absolutely enjoyed my two night stay at Andrea's apartment home. Everything about her apartment was super clean and had a very warm cozy feeling to it. There is nothing that Andrea could have done more to improve or better accomodate my stay there, her private room and bathroom listing is perfect. The location of this listing is in a very nice and quiet gated apartment community about 20 minutes from downtown with easy access to getting to and from there, not very complicated at all. Andrea herself was very inviting and welcoming towards me from the moment we first met. She is a very cheerful person and great to talk with. I highly recommend this listing, I certainly will be booking again with Andrea anytime I am ever back in Austin. "
7179689,41143745,2015-08-04,37687509,Jordan,Andrea was extremely friendly and very accommodating. She made sure I had everything I needed and she was there to give me directions and give me my key. The place was very cozy and you have a private room at the end of the hall. Her place is conveniently located about 20 minutes from downtown Austin. I really enjoyed my stay with Andrea and would defiantly stay there again!
7179689,43202250,2015-08-17,36991959,William,Andrea was a wonderful host. She made sure we felt at home. She was very kind and helped us get settled in. Gave us good directions to her apartment and even let us have access to snacks in her fridge. She also game my mother some mint water to sooth her weak stomach after the long drive. By far the best experience I could've imagined being my first time to travel through Airbnb.
7179689,44493583,2015-08-26,40700829,Nazarali,"It was very nice, clean and the way it was describe, quite neighborhood and good gated community, highly recommend to stay at this place. "
7179689,46976890,2015-09-14,43220893,Theresa,"Wonderful experience!  The room was just as advertised, very clean and comfortable and plenty of room. The location was great.  Andrea could not have been more gracious and friendly.  Made me feel welcome from the time we met.  Would definitely try to stay with her again if the need ever arises.  "
7179689,47912931,2015-09-21,44207972,Mike,"This was my first time using Airbnb and I was a little nervous at first. However, Andrea was awesome with the entire experience. She explained everything thoroughly which made it go alot smoother. Her apartment was supper clean and she provided all the necessary toiletries and snacks. She even made my wife coffee one morning ;) I would definitely do this again and would highly recommend Andrea's place. Also the neighborhood was nice and quiet and not very far from the downtown area."
7179689,49692356,2015-10-05,43712151,Marleny,"This was my first time trying Airbnb, so I had no idea what to expect. Andrea's pace is so clean and so organized!  The room and private bathroom were so perfect. She also helped us out on places we should visit. Would most definitely stay here again if I'm ever in Austin again! "
7179689,50651375,2015-10-13,41226505,Kanoe,First time using Airbnb and it was great! They place was so clean and comfortable. Close enough to downtown Austin with no problems. WILL VISIT AGAIN 
7179689,51299152,2015-10-19,410467,Rosie,We felt vey welcome. Andrea was very sweet and nice.
7179689,52150381,2015-10-26,45400600,Matthew,"Andrea was a thoughtful hostess. Her directions were very clear and that made our stay enjoyable and hassle-free! She even provided snacks and coffee for us and let us use her dryer when we were soaked by the rain. She did more than she had to and we enjoyed our stay. If you want to stay close to downtown and the main attractions, it is a bit of a drive. Overall, highly recommend. "
5459128,28136036,2015-03-18,11231335,Jeffrey,"I stayed here during the 2015 SXSW Interactive conference and the place was perfect.  Katherine was super responsive and met me at place to give me some instructions about the place, keys and tips.  She even had some light groceries and beer in the fridge for me!  

The location worked out really well - just a short walk south over the Congress bridge.  I never once took a cab the entire time I was in town as it just wasn't necessary - the conference center and main bar districts (6th, Rainey, South Congress) were all easily accessible on foot, which was great as my coworkers all had to either flag down taxis or sort out Ubers at the end of the night while I was a short stroll home to bed.  The location is also pretty convenient for taking advantage of a run along the paths by the river.

I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.
 "
2305197,28161237,2015-03-19,25797834,Norma Jean,"Thank you for making me and my co-workers feel welcome, specially upon our arrival at 11:30 PM. Fridge with next day's breakfast and coffee, was a treat! The house is beautiful and comfortable. The neighborhood is excellent and great for running along Austin's most beautiful houses on Windsor Road. Our visit to Austin was enhanced by staying in this pretty house. Thanks again.
 "
2373978,25704048,2015-01-23,5146624,Sherri,"Kristin was very accommodating, welcoming and flexible when our arrival was delayed. She is genuinely hospitable and cared about the details around making us comfortable.  

We really enjoyed her home, it is a unique contemporary design that she has decorated creatively.  But, more importantly it was clean, neat and comfortable.  The twin beds had great mattresses and nice bedding, so we slept very well. We had a nice private bath.  All exactly as was advertised. 
Had it not been a rainy day, the private deck would have been enjoyable too.  Since this modern neighborhood sits high over Austin and gives a great view.   

Kristin and her husband are new to airbnb.  So, we want to say,
this is definitely a great new place to stay in Austin.   We would recommend it to others and would return again ourselves.  "
2373978,25780469,2015-01-25,935407,Carrie,"Holy cow, this place was AMAZING! Kristin was the greatest host I've ever stayed with, and I can't believe how nice her house is. It's close to downtown, easy to get to places from, in a very very cute neighborhood, and wow is Kristin a great decorator! The bed was comfy, everything was tidy and clean, and she was all around super accommodating. When I come back next time, I hope Kristin will have her place available. I will stay there every time!"
2373978,28313486,2015-03-22,12601537,Daniel,"An amazing place, 15 minutes from downtown(convention center). I've been there with 2 friends during SXSW 15. The house is very confortable, with good bedroom and excellent bathroom. Kristin was very kindly and nice people. I really recommend to all of you!"
2373978,28689308,2015-03-28,3521006,Hyla,"Kristin was a friendly and considerate host. She responded to me right away and went above and beyond to help me with the booking when I was having technical issues with the airbnb app. She gave us lots of Austin recommendations; As a former Chef she knows all the good restaurants. Her house is beautiful and spotless. The room is bright and sunny (with a curtain to block the light if you like), quiet, very comfortable beds, nice linens, and a ceiling fan. Looks just like the photos. Seems like everywhere you'd want to go is within a fifteen minute drive. I highly recommend this listing!"
2373978,28966425,2015-04-01,29712793,Joyce,"Kristin & Todd (& Sammie the gentle cat) were amazing hosts and gave us very detailed recommendations on good food around they neighborhood. Speaking of neighborhood, it is located in a serene and private yet only 20mins(or less) to downtown. The house is as pictured, very artsy and modern with lots of natural sunlight filling up the house in the morning. It was cosy, clean, comfortable and they gave us a lot of privacy as well. In summary, the 3 of us enjoyed our stay and we will book this place again. "
2373978,29174393,2015-04-05,101637,Xande,"My wife and I stayed there for two nights. We had a full schedule and unfortunately spent very little time at Kristin and Todd's beautiful home. I wish we could have hung out more. They are both great hosts and made us feel at home.  

Their place is beautiful, great art all around, an amazing collection of cookbooks (we have very similar taste) and just a super homie vibe. Oh, it is also spotless. So clean and organized.

We love Sammy, their awesome cat. Super friendly and chill.

We'd stay there again in a heart beat and hope to be able to spend more time with Kristin and Todd the next time around. Cocktails, please. :)"
2373978,30232297,2015-04-19,30123090,Melissa,We had a wonderful stay. Everything was very clean and inviting and not to mention very artistically fresh. The house was beautiful and their little furry companion was awesome to hang out with during the rain storm. Kristin and Todd were very warm and welcoming; it felt as if we were staying with some good friends. We will defiantly be back on our next Austin trip.
2373978,30965279,2015-04-29,10745173,Alexander,"Kristin and Tadd are fantastic hosts that anyone could hope for. They are very friendly and approachable. Their home is clean, tidy, refreshing and charming. I will stay there again in a heart beat on my next visit to Austin. "
2373978,31208992,2015-05-03,24590717,Nancy,"I highly recommend staying here. The place is very cute and clean and the location is a nice respite from the downtown Austin zone without being too far away. Cute wild flowers, hummingbirds abound and we could also hear an owl that must have been nesting nearby. I like that sort of thing, so (for me) it was quite lovely and added to the charm. Kristin was a fantastic host and made us feel right at home. She was always available to answer questions and she gave us some seriously excellent restaurant recommendations. I love her. I would definitely come back to stay here again. And again. And again......"
2373978,31927235,2015-05-11,31572662,Andrew,I could not have found a better place to stay in Austin for the weekend. Kristin and Todd were fantastic hosts! They also were very welcoming to my brother who meet up with me on Friday. I cannot recommend Kristin's place enough if you want to stay at a place as unique as Austin itself.
2373978,32684890,2015-05-20,11625660,Sarah,"My mom and I stayed here for 5 nights and we loved loved loved this listing. We had our own private room, bathroom and patio. It was super fast to get anywhere in Austin from this location and you couldn't ask for nicer hosts. Kristin is extremely responsive and one of our favorite nights there was sharing a meal and a cocktail with her and her husband. The house decor is super cool and you gotta see the mural in the kitchen up close to truly appreciate it.  "
2373978,33000031,2015-05-24,21463435,Wesley,"Kristin was an amazing host. Her house was amazing. Her cat was amazing. Keyword here is amazing. She was very hospitable and made my mom, sister, and me feel very at home. I had great conversations with her and her husband, too. They're a very intriguing couple and I learned quite a bit from them in the hour or two we chatted. 5/5 times I would stay with Kristin again. "
2373978,33693679,2015-05-31,14160669,Mary,"Staying with Kristin and Todd was awesome! Their apartment is so cool, and they were incredibly friendly.  In the morning on Saturday they left out muffins and bananas for us to eat.  The room was very comfortable and clean.  It was a short drive from downtown."
2373978,34361700,2015-06-07,34531424,Sally,"This was our first Airbnb experience and it was AMAZING!!! Kristin was so sweet and her house was well kept, clean, and very comfortable! We especially loved the decor and the cute deck that adjoins the room. So much better than staying in a hotel!! We ended up checking in a few hours after the regular check-in time and she was very accommodating. She also left us a list of restaurants to try in the area... We tried a few during our stay and all were phenomenal. We enjoyed every minute and were sad to leave. Definitely will return in the future!!"
2373978,38867508,2015-07-19,35478855,Kaitlyn,The house is gorgeous and so well decorated. The beds were really comfortable also. 
2373978,39701904,2015-07-25,146305,Valerie,"My friends and I began and ended our West Texas road trip at Kristin's place. By our second stay, it already felt like home! Kristin is a wonderful host (see previous review for more details!)"
2373978,40408490,2015-07-30,146305,Valerie,"Kristin was an amazing host; she was friendly, helpful, and always made us feel at home. Her place was beautifully decorated and impeccably cleaned! Our room had comfortable beds, a gorgeous terrace, and private bathroom. I definitely hope to be able to return again someday! "
2373978,40724820,2015-08-02,16306690,Sarah,"Kristin made us instantly feel welcome.  She had some great recommendations for food - we didn't even get to eat it all, and places to go.  The house was clean and well maintained, and cute as the Dickens.  I would totally stay here again, and recommend it for anyone considering a stay here."
2373978,41953263,2015-08-10,35153756,Rebecca,"A lovely modern home with a couple of lovely people inside it! It is, as I just said, modern, so the space is smallish but efficient (not anything against it, just an observation). The beds were very comfortable too. I was there for a convention over the weekend so I didn't see much of the hosts. But when we did interact, they were incredibly friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The location of the home is not bad either, with regards to the city. It was overall a great experience, especially for my first time using this site and staying at a place like this.

Their cat is very nice too. I may have pet the cat a lot."
2373978,44788278,2015-08-29,38128716,Sara,Kristen was a wonderful hostess and her house was really awesome. Everything was super clean and organized.....a very welcoming environment to come into and stay in. She had excellent suggestions for things to do and places to eat! She also was friendly and easy to converse with. We had a blast and would love to stay with her again next time we visit Austin. I highly recommend her place!
2373978,49612137,2015-10-05,40114359,Katrina,Kristin and her husband were fantastic hosts. They had great recommendations for food and local places. The house was really well decorated and had a nice homey feel to it. I would definitely stay again.
2373978,50452256,2015-10-12,35504761,Jullianne,"Headed out to Austin this past weekend for ACL and I'm really glad I picked this listing. Kristin and Todd's neighborhood and home are sooo adorable! It's a quiet area just a short drive from downtown Austin and very accessible, but just far enough away from the chaos of Austin nightlife and just 15 minutes from the airport.

Their home looks pretty much exactly as pictured--modern decor, bold colors, lots of art, and very well kept (I think y'all should be featured on Apartment Therapy if you havent yet! lol). The room and private bathroom are tucked away upstairs, and the adjacent outdoor deck was the perfect place to take a mid-day break and stuff our faces with Gordough's. :) I think the chill vibe of the house was definitely a direct reflection of the hosts, Kristin and Todd (and Sammy the cat!) who were very nice and accommodating throughout the stay.

I think my favorite part was the house handbook left in the bedroom with all the information I could possibly need to get around their house and to get around Austin, from a kitchen map to food/sight-seeing recommendations. It's all about the details and Kristin & Todd got it all spot on. 

I'd definitely stay here again :)"
2373978,51922034,2015-10-25,44168711,Ryan,Kristin and Todd were great hosts! Came for the Formula 1 Grand Prix. Very clean and very beautiful place to stay. Kristin and Todd recommended great places to eat and even drive us to the track on Saturday since the parking lots were closed from rain and floods. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay or for better hosts.
1525103,7988469,2013-10-11,9061053,Aaron,"GREAT FIND!  This was our first AirBnB experience and we had a great one at the MELLOW YELLOW.  Owner Brooke was delightful and super direct and easy to deal with, and she's put the home together beautifully -- better even than the pictures and description (which are both accurate and impressive).  The home is newly renovated, and all the details are just perfect, from furnishings to finishes.  

The Zilker neighborhood is super -- that block is particularly nice -- and it's relatively close and convenient to downtown.  We ended up using CAR2Go mostly, but there's a nearby bus line and taxi is about $12 to downtown.  

All in all, fantastic experience.  Highly recommended.  Brooke maintains other rentals in Austin, and I imagine they're all done with the same level of taste and consideration.  You can't go wrong . . . ."
1525103,8822506,2013-11-19,5438997,Jessica,"Mellow Yellow was a perfect home for our stay in Austin.  It was beautifully decorated with a great little backyard for the kids to enjoy.  Location was also perfect for walks around the neighborhood and to the farmers market down the road.  Thank you Brooke for everything!

1525103,13433319,2014-05-27,9776185,Irit,"The Mellow Yellow was great!!! Super clean, warm, welcoming, and exactly as pictured.  Location can't be beat.  Nearby anything and everything you want to see in Austin.  The house was fully stocked with tons of fresh towels, clean linens, and even had a lot of little things in the kitchen such as coffee, creamer, and other odds and ends.  
I would definitely recommend this place and will be sure to book it next time I am in Austin.   "
1525103,15517699,2014-07-10,14452105,Kelly,This was my first airbnb experience. My boyfriend and I stayed at the mellow yellow and loved it. It was exceptionally cozy nestled in a quiet neighborhood and within close proximity to all the places we wanted to visit while in Austin. Brooke was a wonderful host and made us feel welcomed. We would love to stay here again next time we visit Austin. 
1525103,16930220,2014-08-04,9079525,Christina,"Everything about this place was amazing! Location was great, home was clean, spacious and too adorable for words. I definitely would recommend staying here! I have zero complaints! "

Its in the ideal location- a nice quiet neighbourhood, but a five minute drive into the city. Easy to find, easy to get in and out of. And Brooke was also super accommodating to our travel plans! Would definitely stay here again!"
1525103,22944149,2014-11-18,19864308,Julian,Brooke was very accommodating and the Mellow Yellow was cute and very clean. The location was great-- right off Lamar and only 5-7 minutes from SOCO and downtown. A great experience!
1525103,30766584,2015-04-27,4227271,Sara,Great space. Felt very peaceful and roomy. Nice little patio in the back. The surrounding neighborhood is lovely and it's a short drive to the greenbelt for a nice hike. 
1525103,32013514,2015-05-12,31031138,Aliya,"This place was great! Exactly as described! It was so cozy and the location is great!

Brooke was so accommodating, and super responsive! She's awesome!

I highly recommend booking with Brooke at the Mellow Yellow!"

The location is quiet and perfect for getting to Zilker Park, River and for great restaurants and shops nearby. 
I would highly recommend this accommodation."
1525103,34451147,2015-06-08,30420517,Lindsay,I recently stayed at Mellow Yellow #2 with my husband and 1 year old.  The place was perfect!  The pictures are very accurate and the space is very clean and comfortable.  The back yard is fenced in and private - perfect for eating and play time with our little one.  The neighborhood is very quiet and a perfect location.  We walked everywhere.  There are great parks and restaurants very close and  Barton Springs Pool and Lady Bird Trail are about a mile away.  Brooke was a great hostess!  We landed early and I sent her a message that morning to request early check-in and she was able to accommodate.  Much appreciated after a long day of travel.  We plan to stay here the next time we are in Austin!
1525103,40033041,2015-07-27,38337325,Taylor,"We had such a great time! Everything we needed and more was provided. The casita is in the perfect location for exploring Austin. The home is so cute and comfortable, we really enjoyed everything about our stay! "

We did not interact with Brooke much during the stay, but we had everything we needed.  Overall, we had a great weekend with a great place that was in a great location.  "
1525103,50626200,2015-10-13,39814523,Laura,"Wow, what a great house!  It was truly exactly what we needed for our 4 day stay in Austin during ACL.  Everything was organized in a smart, efficient way.  The house was immaculate, and wonderfully decorated.  We were within walking distance of Zilker park, and the neighborhood was fun to explore.  The nearby restaurants and bars were excellent...Black Sheep Lodge in particular.  After living in Austin in the early 90s, it was great to visit old haunts...it retains its quirky charm.  We would definitely rent from Brooke again...it couldn't have been easier.

7985146,46064633,2015-09-07,31592385,Rachel,It was perfect for the occasion and the host is very friendly and welcoming.

They were exceptionally accommodating and took a chance on letting us stay at their gorgeous loft without having any reviews. We wildly recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, adorable, private and great location in Austin and we will be back for another stay!"
4950278,51503766,2015-10-20,23587731,Mallory,"Brad and Molly's apartment was the PERFECT place for my long weekend visit: everything was tidy, clean, and welcoming. The stairway entrace is located on the backside of a garage and there is free street parking. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood, though major highways and South Congress were close! Brad was an astute host in helping me with initial booking issues. I would highly recommend this listing!"
4950278,52144217,2015-10-26,18744650,Marie,"Brad and Molly’s studio was immaculate, beautiful and everything we had hoped for. It is located in an absolutely gorgeous neighborhood of Austin. Communication was easy with Brad, and Molly was there to welcome us. Both are very accommodating and sweet! If you’re planning a trip to Austin, do yourself a favor and stay at Brad and Molly’s studio. Would definitely stay there again."

1428582,21258632,2014-10-13,22199427,Sam,"The place is nice and clean when we first walk in. Everything is organized including all the furnitures and kitchen utensils. The host provides complimentary coffee and a 24pack beer for us and I think it is generous and wonderful. And the place is just right near 6th street where many clubs are located. We did not have to drive which means we could just walk (It takes 10 minutes for one trip).  Overall, the experience is great and if I ever go back to Austin to have an stop, I would choose this place again. 

Thanks 

Sam Yang "
1428582,23168876,2014-11-24,9738253,Alex,"There was a bit of a snafu with the booking so I can't speak to the property, but Kristen & the bunch certainly went above and beyond to make sure our stay in Austin was great.  They even brought us some gifts to make our group feel welcome."
1428582,23688894,2014-12-08,22891569,Daniel,We rented Blazing Saddles for a long weekend to celebrate my brother's 40th B-Day.  Friends and family flew in from both coasts and everyone agreed that the accommodations were first class.  Our host even provided a case of beer and a nice bottle of scotch to help celebrate.  Walking distance to downtown made having 12 people in town a breeze. Two thumbs way up! 
1428582,25382248,2015-01-14,23624081,James,"Rented the house for my bachelor party, and it was perfect.  A bunch of guys in our mid-30s, and we had a great time.
The property is very large, plenty of room, can easily fit 10-12 people without feeling cramped.  Every amenity you could possibly need is available.  Great backyard and grill.  Comfortable furniture and multiple televisions.
Location is a short walk (six blocks or so) from the main 6th street bar district.  BBQ food trucks 2 blocks west, CVS 4 blocks north.  Campus is about a 20-25 minute walk.
If you are trying to decide between a couple places in Austin, this place houses and entertains very well, accessible to where you'll want to go, and has a unique style that will leave an impression.  Go with this one."
1428582,25430106,2015-01-15,240708,Gemma,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1428582,25591081,2015-01-20,6107367,Laura,"We had an incredible experience. Kristen and Jessica were extremely prompt in answering our questions, proactively helped us set-up our check-in time and even followed-up the morning of check out to make sure that everything went well. They were so friendly, professional and have a gorgeous home that's perfect for large groups. 

Location wise, it's hard to beat. You're only a 10 minute walk in pretty much any direction to some of Austin's best bars, live music venues and shopping. The home was so beautiful that we found it hard to leave at times - from the rooftop deck to the bbq to the poker table - every space had something fun to do!"
1428582,25838206,2015-01-27,17163453,David,"The house is in a great location, walkable to sixth street and tons of bars and restaurants, and only a 15 min, under $20 uber ride to and from the airport, which was super convenient. We had 15 dudes staying at the house for my bachelor party and there was plenty of room and enough beds/couches for all of us. There were plenty of towels and other essentials for everyone, as well as some goodies left in the kitchen for us. Kristen was really nice and gave great suggestions about things to do in Austin leading up to the trip. I would highly recommend hitting Kristen up if you're heading to Austin with a big group."
1428582,28773959,2015-03-30,15788510,Kenny,"The house is fantastic and a perfect spot to entertain a large group of people. The location is perfect, walkable to the old sixth and a really short drive from Rainey. Also very close to great food truck spots and bbq. Kristen was very helpful and nice. I would use it again in a heartbeat."
1428582,29250190,2015-04-06,8678506,Annie,"The house is exceptional. We had 16 women in town for a bachelorette, and there were beds for everyone, plus plenty of space to play games, eat, and drink. The rooftop patio and backyard are both really lovely ways to enjoy the beautiful weather. There is a huge grill and beer fridge outside, along with a ping pong table. We found ourselves spending more time at the house than expected because it was so comfortable and beautiful! The really nice thing about haviang two houses is that you can put the rowdy folks in the main house (noise carries from the first floor to the bedrooms) and the late sleepers in the back house, which is basically a big bunkroom, a private bedroom, bathrooms, and a kitchen.

It's on a busy street, but thanks to high fences feels safe, secluded, and quiet. There is only parking for 3 cars, so if you're bringing a lot of vehicles plan to park in the surrounding streets. Easy walking distance to a number of great restaurants and taco trucks, and a very cheap cab ride to the bars on 6th street. 

Kristen was wonderful to let us stay at the house past check-out time on Sunday while the cleaning crew worked since a number of us had late flights. Communication with her was easy as our group number changed a few times and we finalized the costs associated with that. 

If you've got a large group and are in need of a place to stay in Austin, this house is highly recommended. Stylish, TONS of space (indoors and out), close to a lot of great neighborhoods, and our hosts were excellent."
1428582,31284309,2015-05-04,9923565,Adam,"Kristen was fantastic. She was on time, and responsive. She had the house in great shape upon arrival, even loaded with a case of beer! We held a bachelor party for roughly 11 guys, and everything went very smoothly. Throughout the entire rental process, she was always able to answer questions and deliver recommendations on Austin and the house. I would HIGHLY recommend this, and her other properties, if you are going as part of a large group. "
1428582,33764073,2015-06-01,24740246,Craig,Great host and great accommodation.
1428582,34401762,2015-06-08,27287950,Kyle,"Pictures do not do this place justice. It was amazing in every single facet. We easily fit 14 guys over a long weekend and never once felt cramped. The back yard is spacious and has a great setup for hanging out. The neighborhood is extremely accessible. 6th street and Rainey were both easy trips by foot or Uber and there were great food trucks just down the street.

Finally, Kristen was so easy to work with when setting our trip up. Quit to respond and more than willing to assist in any way possible....not too mention they had stocked the fridge with a few surprises for us upon arrival.

Would not hesitant for a second to stay there again or recommend to a friend."
1428582,35057933,2015-06-15,5605852,Cassie,"Wow, there are no words to describe what an incredible experience our group had renting this fabulous property for a bachelorette party.  The home is beautifully decorated, spacious, and came stocked with everything we needed.  One of the preoprty managers Clint was on-site when we arrived to give us a full tour and run down and even sent someone over on a moments notice when we were having issues programming the air conditioning.  The preoperty is centrally located for easy walks over to tons of bars and restaurants on sixth street. I highly recommend for any big groups looking for a great getaway!!"
1428582,38097874,2015-07-13,28301844,Aaron,"We had a great experience at this house. Kristen and Clint were extremely easy to communicate with and they did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. When there were one or two issues that came up, they were very quick to respond. I was there with a huge group of guys for a bachelor party and there couldn't have been a better house in a better location. Would definitely go stay again."
1428582,40702548,2015-08-01,3978613,Stephen,The host canceled this reservation 47 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house is comfy, big, and decorated perfectly. Kristen and Clint were sweet and attentive hosts, and gave lots of recommendations.  Austin is such a fun town."
1428582,44403614,2015-08-26,27301094,Clayton,"We had the pleasure of staying at the single malt manor for my best friends bachelor party. I really couldn't have picked a better place. We had 13 people at its peak and we had more than enough room to each have our own bed. Our favourites were the cowboy decor, poker table and the outdoor patio area. This got used everynight. And if it had of been a little cooler we would have spent more time on the balcony.  This place was very central to everything. Many food trucks, coffee shops and restaurants within a 5 min walk. 6th street about 8 mins. Great location. To top it all off the owners of the house were great, they went the extra mile to ensure we had a great time from booking restaurants to organising transport for brewery tours etc... All in all this place comes with my highest of recommendations."
1428582,49759581,2015-10-06,6706904,Riley,"Spent Weekend 1 of ACL @ the Single Malt Manor and loved everything it had to offer.  

The property was very spacious & well laid out.  Beers in the fridge upon arrival - always a bonus! 

Main house amenities were excellent.  Proper kitchen, lots of beds, 3 bathrooms and a great main room which came in handy for meals and watching football on Sunday.

The back house with attached deck were great for catching some sun and listening to tunes during there day (also there's a TV - so you can watch your favourite team play while hanging with friends outside). The bunky in the back house acted as a little sanctuary if the main house was a too loud.

All in all would definitely recommend this place for large groups heading to Austin, Tx."
1428582,51716654,2015-10-24,8882152,Jon,"Great place to stay!  I organized a work offsite meeting there for a few days and it was fantastic.  Accommodations were good and the living room was awesome for meetings during the day and playing poker and other games at night.  Two kitchens made meal prep easy, and the  outdoor seating area was a lot of fun in the evening.  
Hosts were very helpful in planning trip logistics and making recommendations for restaurants and activities in the area.  Highly recommend.    "
1428582,52044512,2015-10-26,2637653,David,"The host was very helpful during all the time leading up to the reservation when it came to helping prepare a weekend itinerary or answer any of my questions.  The house itself was very cool and had all the amenities needed to host a large group for a bachelor, bachelorette or birthday party.  The weather wasn't great so we couldn't walk anywhere, but many locations of where you'd want to go is within about a mile away.  Beds were comfortable and there's more than enough bathrooms, showers, kitchen space to accomodate the entire group.  The back house is very convenient for sleeping/quiet area.  I would definitely recommend.  "
1428582,52815990,2015-11-02,33591206,Robin,"I just had my bachelorette party in Austin and Kristen and the rest of her team made the experience even better than I could have ever expected! The house is in the most amazing location - walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and bars. The house was stocked with props and beautiful decor which made it great for photos! The beds were SO comfortable, I slept amazing. One of the days there was a huge rainstorm, and Kristen and her crew came over to surprise us all with Franklin BBQ! Unbelievable experience, I will definitely recommend to anyone who is planning a trip to Austin!"
1927188,20895067,2014-10-07,17466144,Brittany,"My friends and I had a good time while staying at Fiore's house in Austin for ACL. The house was cute inside and clean. There was always hot water when the 6 of us were getting ready back to back. There was also, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. However, pretty sure we all brought our own. The thermostat was also set to a comfortable setting, so we didn't have to mess with it. There was a nice patio to relax on and a good size backyard. 

Things we weren't expecting were, there wasn't enough beds to comfortably sleep 6. But, Fiore brought us air mattresses and extra sheets. We thought we would utilize the kitchen for cooking, but, we didn't bc we ate out each meal. The neighborhood isn't the nicest, but no one bothered us. Nor, did we feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Overall, Fiore and his wife were very nice and very accommodating. I would recommend their place to others. "
1927188,50559322,2015-10-12,21110963,Jennifer,The house had a great vibe and we had plenty of space for 3 people. We enjoyed our time staying here 
2746300,24232796,2014-12-23,8734274,Peter,"My girlfriend and I stayed for a month at Derek's condo and thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The condo is warm and comfortable, and was actually a bit more spacious than what was depicted in the photos. There's a cool balcony area in the front that is shared by four other apartments which is a nice area to sit outside, rain or shine. The location is really nice as it's a short walk to a large variety of restaurants, shopping centers, movie theaters, etc. We felt safe in the neighborhood and around the complex. Derek did a great job communicating with us throughout our stay. He was quick to respond if we ever needed anything and gave us all the details we needed so that everything went smoothly. Overall, this place is great if you are looking for a short term stay in North Austin. Thanks Derek!"
2746300,27767640,2015-03-11,10410642,Adam,"Great little condo, great communication from Derek.  The condo is in a pretty convenient location, a smaller quiet street, but with close access to freeways.  "

The location of the house is quite nice as it is close to a shopping center which has lots of restaurants, market etc. If you have a car, it has a parking spot too."
2746300,51710036,2015-10-24,41413520,Tom,My stay at the condo was excellent and the property was as described in the listing. The location was perfect and the neighborhood was very nice and quite. There are numerous restaurants within a short distance that were perfect. Derek was always available for any help that may be needed. The convenience of the washer and dryer on the property was a definitely a benefit. I would certainly recommend the property to others
256464,719819,2011-11-14,448603,Launa,"Matt is a wonderful host and if you plan in advance for a fee he will pick you up at the airport!  I was in Austin for a conference and didn't have to rent a car. I just took a taxi to downtown and it was less than 10.00 each way.  He is a down to earth, genuinely nice person.  He has traveled extensively and he is interesting to talk to.  His place is so convenient to everything South Congress!  I recommend staying at his place."

We walked everywhere .. My husband and I fell in love with his dog, Crystal. One of the sweetest dogs we've ever met! We really wish we could've sat and talked with Matt more about his adventures around parts of the world.. He has a great taste for style, as youll notice. We'll definitely stay at Matt's again.  Thanks Matt! "

256464,817692,2011-12-31,52320,July,The room was in an amazing beautiful house in SoCo walking distance to shopping and restaurants. It is also close to Lady Bird lake and downtown.

256464,867097,2012-01-16,1596320,Lauren,My boyfriend came to visit from out of town and we were on a very tight budget and matt was very accomodating. His house is beautiful and spacious.

256464,902571,2012-02-05,428647,Mike,"Matt's place was in a great location in Austin, TX. The private room and the house were clean, modern and very well designed by Matt himself.  I was able to come and go at my leisure (Matt provided me with my own key while I was there) and Matt was very accommodating when it came issues like a late arrival and quickly getting me the wifi password, despite being at work. You must like dogs, as Matt has two. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to others visiting Austin."

He is an easy walk to everything on South Congress and just steps from more up and coming areas like South 1st. Matt was a great host, very helpful with suggestions of things to do but also gave us plenty of space to explore the area independently.  We had a rental car and there was plenty of parking on his street and in the area. I would definitely recommend this place for your time in Austin!"
256464,1058402,2012-03-29,270673,Loryn,Super comfortable room in a perfect location!  Very convenient to all of the fun on South Congress.  Will definitely stay here again!
256464,1066124,2012-03-31,2004143,Christopher,"Provided a towel, a bike, nice dogs, comfy bed, and a slammin' location. Matt was sociable and accommodating in any way that he could. His home is great and I would love to visit this Austin crash pad again in a heartbeat."
256464,1114415,2012-04-12,1897940,Courtney,"Matt was a great host! He was really friendly, helpful and always up for a chat. The house was really great. It was in a perfect and convenient location, close to everything that you would need. Matt provided us with two bikes so we could ride around town, the best way to get around Austin. We woiuld definately stay here again!"
256464,1141930,2012-04-17,1588739,Clifford,"First thing  barrier across the entrance to the lounge room above.
We had to take our four suit case up stairs with one of the bannister dividers on the stair case sticking up a good two inches so you had to be very carefull of not cuting ones hand.
The room was very small  wardrode had large hole in wall vermon could come in .The towels ONE  was very badly stained that i could't use it  more suited to doing the floor  with The house had a doggie smellThe dogs where in every night and made such a noise when we came in the front door Three times we arrived to find the front door unlocked ..
.also the towels where never changed we stayed threenights
Matt had letf his personal items in the bedroom and bathroom
  "
256464,1187294,2012-04-27,1634093,Christine,"Our stay at Matt's was perfect! We couldn't ask for a better host or location. We felt welcomed upon arrival and Matt's house is beautiful with the perfect backyard to lounge around after a day of walking about. He also has two of the most lovely dogs. Matt was very friendly and recommended some wonderful eats. The private room is great for a single traveller or a couple.  If you are considering staying at Matt's, don't hesitate! "
256464,1209742,2012-05-01,2010309,Brad,Matt is a gracious host with a beautiful house.  Soco is an incredible area in Austin.  Highly recommended.  Would definitely stay again.
256464,1253578,2012-05-09,887574,Gayle & Bowl,"We would definitely stay here again. 
Perfect location on a very pretty street, and only about 10minutes by bike to downtown. If you're looking to stay around the South Congress St area then this place is great!
The house is really nice, clean and stylish. The room we stayed in was downstairs and we had our own bathroom, both were super clean, the room was very small - we stayed in the room which is under the listing title ""Private Room With Bath on SOCO"" (Matt has a few listings).
Matt is friendly and so are his pets: 2 cats, 1 large dog and 1 small dog, all adorable animals! The cats were mostly outside so don't worry if you're allergic.
I would recommend this accommodation to any of my friends!"
256464,1277627,2012-05-14,1093689,Heather,Matt was friendly and accommodating. His house is in the PERFECT location and it was so fun staying in the South Congress area. The house was in a beautiful neighborhood that is right behind boutique hotels that probably range from $200-500 a night.  Would definitely stay there again!
256464,1301475,2012-05-18,1658072,Drew + Jane,"  This was my first time in Austin, and also a first using airbnb to find (email hidden)aying at Matt's in SOCO was an excellent choice.  The room is very clean and comfortable, and in a nice residential neighborhood.  The house is beautiful and custom.  Very very close walking distance to many cafes, bars and unique shops on S. Congress.
  
  When Matt was around he made time to give me some directions for where to go, and loaned me a bicycle to go take advantage of Austin's awesome trails along Barton Creek.

I highly recommend staying here!  "
256464,1376667,2012-05-29,512991,Zahid,"We had a great time staying with Matt. His home is beautiful and is conveniently located just off the main South Congress thoroughfare. Matt was a great host, he made us feel at home immediately and we were very pleased with the stay. He even had bikes we could borrow to ride around town! If you are staying with Matt, make sure you eat at Magnolia Cafe and Bouldin Creek Cafe, both within a short block from his place. Amazing food! Highly recommend staying here for your Austin visit!"
256464,1487385,2012-06-15,2557789,Ronen,"Staying at Matt's place was my first time using AirBNB.  I could not have had a better experience!  The house is gorgeous, the room I stayed in was immaculate and Matt's friend Christina who was managing the house did everything she could to make sure I had a pleasant stay.  I would highly recommend staying here.  "
256464,1632385,2012-07-04,2575792,Kevin T.,I enjoyed Matt's BnB.  The stay was enjoyable and the location was superb.
256464,1800598,2012-07-25,1283022,Nathan,We had a great stay at Matt's place.  He was a very hospitable host with some great tips on Austin.  
256464,2197922,2012-09-04,3294124,Julia,Great location! Enjoyed our stay and the people we met. 
256464,2259083,2012-09-10,421472,Paul,"After camping on the outskirts of Austin for two days in 100-plus degree weather, we decided on the third day - our last day before heading west - to try and book an airbnb space near downtown. Matt responded quickly to our request, and although he was not able to be home to greet us, he made sure a friend of his was there to do so.

Our room was actually more like a studio, separate from the house, with our own entry through the back gate. Very clean, cozy and private. The main house is spacious and beautiful, and he also rents out rooms there. We met a couple staying in one of those rooms, and they seemed very happy with it.

His house in about one mile from downtown, but there's a bus that stops about one block away that will get you there in about 10 minutes, and a late-night owl bus that goes back and stops just a couple blocks away from his place. The neighborhood he lives is very lively, with great cafes, shops, bars, and food carts. We enjoyed hanging out there even more than downtown.

We left early in the morning and never got to meet Matt in person, but he was very nice over the phone, and we would highly recommend staying at his place to anyone visiting Austin."
256464,2429386,2012-09-27,3424446,Jules,Matt was a very accommodating host and made us feel quite comfortable.  The house has a great location for easy exploration of SoCo and downtown Austin. We'd stay again!
256464,2684200,2012-10-22,3672245,Calista,"I enjoyed staying here. Matt was super cool and the house is beautiful. Everything was clean and we had access to the kitchen, living room, and back yard as well. My room was comfortable and clean towels and soap was provided. The home is in a good area-lots of food options and vintage clothing shops. I highly recommend that you stay here. "
256464,2850093,2012-11-10,3851195,Cynthia,"I had a wonderful time staying at Matt's house. The room was clean and bright, and I had a private bathroom. It was election night in the USA and I had the opportunity to sit in the living room with Matt and watch the returns. Super nice guy, and interesting to hear his story. World traveler and new father! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
256464,2925225,2012-11-20,1840163,Yan,"Matt is a super nice guy, and was very helpful throughout our time staying with him.  His place is as ideal as you can get for Austin.  Highly recommended, for sure!!"
256464,3032131,2012-12-05,4129954,Peter,"I really enjoyed my stay at Matt's. Everything was clean, and as expected. Matt is a very gracious host, and next time I come to Austin, I will try to stay at his house again. Could not be happier about my stay, and I would recommend it highly!!!"
256464,3163580,2012-12-27,4120847,Andy,"Matt is a very friendly host and we appreciated to stay in his place for 6 days over xmas. It's a beautiful 2 floor house with backyard, cottage and wintergarden. Our bedroom including bathroom in the main house on the 1st floor was quiet and clean. We shared the house with Matt and other guests and had fun with the dogs and cats. (Stella & Crystal) Whenever we come back to Austin, Matt is our first adress in town to stay and we recommend him very much! Sonja & Andy from Switzerland"
256464,3255383,2013-01-03,2810932,Colin,"Matt was great and the location close to S. Congress is excellent. Great food and shopping nearby, easy to get to downtown. Compare prices with the nearby Hotel San Jose and you'll see what a great deal this is. This house was perfect for a short, one-person stay in Austin. "
256464,3272499,2013-01-04,961802,Zac,"This was my first trip to Austin, and a good one at that. Matt was helpful and told me about the cool local bars on Rainy Street. His home was awesome & I would def visit again. "
256464,3383248,2013-01-21,317633,Sarah,"Matt's house is the perfect stopover for a night in Austin. We stayed in the smaller room upstairs with an attached, big bathroom; it was quiet and the bed was very comfortable. The house is charming and the location (one block off South Congress) is phenomenal. "
256464,3573236,2013-02-18,1657640,Jonathan,"Matt put us in his other house due to this place being booked.  It seemed like a awesome deal but when we got there it was just a small room with a bed, nothing on the walls, no blinds, and a small table.  The location was great and we didn't stay in very much, but it would have been nice if the TV had worked downstairs or if there was something to do there.  There's also a person living there full time...so we felt like we were intruding on his turf a little bit.  Also, one of the other couples staying there drank all of our beers out of the communal fridge.  That's not really anyone's fault, but it was frustrating.  

Overall, we had a great trip in Austin, but we weren't too pleased with our room."
256464,3591138,2013-02-19,1539262,Josh And Kate,Matt was a great host and his house was absolutely beautiful. The pictures doesn't do it justice. He also let us use his bikes and we took them all over town. Amazing location right off of Congress and right by all the SoCo restaurants and shops. We'd love to stay there again!
256464,3628452,2013-02-26,4982306,Elsmarieke,"My husband and I had a great time at Matt's place. He is a very nice and easy-going host. The room and bathroom were nicely furbished. One day we borrowed his bikes, which is a great way of transportation in Austin. The house is in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood, just one street off South Congress, great location."
256464,3831149,2013-03-19,761388,Andrew,"Matt was great.  Interesting, well-travelled, easygoing.  Good for a morning coffee or a midnight beer.  The house was really big and light, new and solid.  I think he built half of it himself.  It's great work.  
I didn't realise how small the actual SoCo postcode is, or how lucky we were to find a place within it."
256464,4086159,2013-04-08,5644663,Jennifer,"Matt's house was perfect for a quick night in Austin.  The neighborhood is fantastic for out of towners looking for a fun, walkable scene. "
256464,4217643,2013-04-19,5868807,Sadie,"Staying with Matt was my first Air B&B experience, and I was nervous, because I usually look for a place all to myself and not with other people. I wasn't sure exactly how that would go. I am happy to say that it couldn't have been more wonderful. He even drove me into the city one night when I was looking for something to do!  He is a sweet and gracious host, and the space is absolutely fantastic both for comfort and location.  The house is friendly and quiet and feels very private. It is literally a few steps away from SoCo, one of the most popular, cool areas in Austin. My partner lives in Austin, and he even stayed there a couple of nights! You couldn't pick a better place to make your home away from home. Thanks Matt, for making me feel like a welcome guest in your world...I can't wait to return next time I'm in town! XoSadie"
256464,4240488,2013-04-21,5784645,Stephen,"The SOCO location was perfect for acessing all South Congress had to offer. We were able to bike from the house all the way into 6th Street and to the bike trails. Bike rentals are available and can be delivered to you.  Just down the street on 1st Street was a great local coffee shop. S. Congress is full of great shops, places to eat and drink, The Continental Club has great live music. Don't miss the bat flight at dusk at the bridge. Swift's Attic was a great dining experience and if you want to just chill with a drink visit the Elephant Club down below Swift's. 

Matt has several properties. We were a late booking and he was able to help us out with a wonderful room with a walk in closet and in suite bath. The house is clean and the bed was comfortable. The rooms have keyed doors if you are worried about leaving your stuff. We never felt worried about security. There were three rooms at our house on Live Oak and we met several people during our two days with Matt.  If you wanted to cook the kitchen has a gas stove. Our house also had a garage that we were able to use. Matt was easy to reach by phone, text or airbnb. "
256464,4853205,2013-05-28,6513135,Gaylia,"We stayed with Matt at the recommendation of a friend who rented the studio last year. His main house was full so he gave us a room in his second house. (For those with pet allergies - no pets on this property.) Very quiet, very clean, well located. Had our own private bath even though it was in the hall. Matt was nice and very responsive. He was out of town during our stay, but answered all of the questions we had via text, including the location of a spare clean towel:) Would totally stay with him again. "
256464,5365626,2013-06-26,3725020,Elizabeth,"Matt was a helpful host, the room was delightful and his dogs are awesome. Enjoyed my stay. "
256464,6250955,2013-08-05,6765560,Elina,"Matt's house is at easy walking distance of South Congress - nice restaurants and cafés right around the corner, like Magnolia Café. The house has a welcoming ambiance to it and the upstairs guest bedroom was spacious with a nice private bathroom. Parking by the house was easy to find. Matt's cat visited the guest bedroom often - a nice bonus as I love cats and was missing my own cats back at home. I would stay at Matt's place again."
256464,8079197,2013-10-15,3576076,Aaron,"The house itself was very nice. However, the room itself was not quite finished. Matt did his best to make us feel welcome and the overall experience was a good one. "
256464,8403003,2013-10-29,3272987,Jamie,"I picked this location specifically because I knew it would be very central since I didn't want to rent a car. It was perfect! We loved the space, it was very quiet and clean. Matt was available and nice to chat with and we loved the cats. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."
256464,9366570,2013-12-24,6188807,Caleb,Matt is very friendly and was very accommodating and understanding with our itinerary. I will be sure to reach out to him again next time. 
256464,9511703,2013-12-31,1672854,Kev & Agata,Great apartment in an amazing area of Austin.  We would highly recommend to any future guests.
256464,9967417,2014-01-21,11309692,Nicole,Matt's place was super clean and nice! Perfect location for exploring Austin for the first time! 
256464,11050986,2014-03-18,10017674,Linda,"Matt is a really warm and welcoming host and on more than one occasion went out of his way to accommodate me. I didn't actually stay at the location mentioned here, I stayed at his other place on West Live Oak St. Matt had a lovely cleaner who I met on my arrival and she does a great job of keeping the place looking spick-and-span. The room I stayed in was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. I had my own bathroom which was lovely. The SoCo area is very safe and has several restaurants and shops worth checking out. On a number of occasions I was told how safe the walk home was and somebody even told me they would let their little sister walk home at 2am without worrying. I'd definitely recommend staying with Matt!"
256464,15703226,2014-07-14,17026977,Peter,"Our host was friendly and helped us when we needed. For instance he fixed (borrowed) a guitar for us! He did´t show up that often but you could reach him by telephone anytime.
The house was very nice, situated jus a block from SoCo, a fantastic place!
There´s a big living room and a big kitchen. "
256464,16231799,2014-07-23,17444930,Iris,"The house is great and Matt is a brilliant host. There was a problem with the wifi at some point, which Matt was working hard to fix. This was temporary - until the problem occurred the wifi was working perfectly. Things like this can happen and Matt was very attentive in trying to fix it.
"
256464,16439652,2014-07-27,17444930,Iris,"We had two more colleagues staying at the house over one weekend, in addition to the one who stayed originally. Matt was very helpful making sure there's room for everyone and very accommodating to our specific needs. The house is great and Matt is a great host."
256464,16530484,2014-07-28,17444930,Iris,Matt was very helpful when we needed to extend the stay again and made sure we didn't need to move rooms. That was much appreciated.
256464,16645927,2014-07-30,17444930,Iris,"My colleague Lucy stayed in the baby suite in the house. As her trip to Austin lasted longer than expected, we extended her stay. Matt was very accommodating and helpful."
256464,16953602,2014-08-04,17444930,Iris,"I booked a room for my colleague Lucy who came to Austin to do some research for film we are working on. She was impressed with the house and loved staying there. It was comfortable, Matt is an excellent host and it was perfect for our needs."
256464,17028253,2014-08-05,17444930,Iris,"My colleague Lucy stayed for a final two days in Austin. The house is great she loved the room. There was a problem with the wifi which Matt was working on fixing, so probably be fine very soon."
256464,18366759,2014-08-25,2639040,Clay,"The house is located towards the south end of South Congress, or SoCo, what might be the hottest district in all of Austin. Right around the back is Magnolia Cafe (get there before 8:30am or be prepared to wait) and just up the street is Wahoo's Fish Tacos. Head north on Congress and you pass Amy's (ice cream), Jo's (coffee), and The Continental Club (adult beverages and live music). There are also many vintage clothing and other specialty stores, so it's very convenient to a whole lot to do.

The house itself is really very attractive. Front yard is xeriscaped with seats for when it's not 100+ degrees. The entryway and ground floor are beautiful and everything that I needed to work, worked.

As with many AirBnB experiences I never met Matt face to face, but we communicated well via text and the AirBnB app and, despite the fact that Matt had to leave town suddenly, gaining entrance to the house was not difficult. There are several rooms and I met some of the other guests who were staying there when I was - a couple from Chicago and someone from Israel - one of the nice things about this kind of travel can be the casual connections.

Much of what you could want to do except grocery shopping is within a walk even on a hot day, and there's a lot to do in downtown Austin on 4th St, and both sides of 6th St. BUT, there's only one drawback which is that there is only one 'name' BBQ place on the south side of the Colorado, Black's on Barton Springs. Everything else is north of the river. So, if that's why you're coming to Austin, a car is definitely recommended.

"
256464,18701173,2014-08-30,15916404,Rory,"Awesome location, and a beautiful property right off S Congress. The check-in was flawless despite my last minute request to book. Also there are two very friendly cats that I enjoyed hanging out with. Highly recommended!"
256464,19883884,2014-09-20,19885493,Sam,"A very comfortable room in a brilliant part of Austin. It provided me with the ideal base for getting into work during the week, and enjoying SoCo at the evenings and weekends while I worked in Austin. As a benefit, it felt very comfortable and homely to come back to each day"
256464,20952444,2014-10-08,6203787,Ben,"I've never done a shared room on Airbnb before, and was a little concerned with what to expect.

This room was great. I didn't actually meet Matt at all, nor did I actually see anyone else at all.

I got in at midnight, let myself in, and into my room. I was at a conference at the Hyatt from breakfast till dinner, so after I let myself in at night there was nobody around at all.

The room is private, and if you're going to be working or busy in town, and not looking for a private room/lounge etc, this is ideal, and I'd happily re-book it. 

Matt was really helpful and flexible via SMS - a great host. 

Really nice neighbourhood too - I walked from the house to downtown, in the morning before it got too hot - about 20 mins, and a great coffee shop half way. (Lovely warm Austin!) 

Great value for money. "
256464,21068359,2014-10-10,19729449,Libby,Nice big clean house. Essentially like an upscale hostel. Fun to meet other folks visiting Austin. Comfortable all around and in GREAT location.
256464,21500636,2014-10-18,22606371,Stephen,"My wife and I are travelling in the USA and are both new to AirBnB. My wife tried to book a room and although she was in contact with the host there was a technical glitch with her AirBnB verification process which prevented her from booking. I opened an account and proceeded to book the room. When we got to the house the room that we had been put in was not the room advertised nor did it have an en suite. We had booked and paid for ""a  mini suite"". What we got was a single room with a shower. I contacted Matt the host via text and he said the advertised room was booked. I said that surely the rate for a single room can't be the same as a mini suite? In fairness, Matt did say if we weren't happy we could cancel there and then he also said that he had held a room in good faith from the text contact with my wife. We decided to stay given that we had been driving all day, it was late and we didn't know Austin. Again, by text we agreed that Matt would adjust the rate but no sum was mentioned. Austin is a great town and we had a very comfortable stay, Matt has a lovely home in a leafy street situated just off South Congress. After we checked out I got a text message from Matt telling me that the advertised rate for the mini suite was wrong and the single room we stayed in was in fact more. Matt offered and I accepted a refund of $30. I had paid AirBnB in £'s and for the two nights it worked out at £199 ( $320). With the refund it means that I will have paid $290 for a double room for two nights. I started by saying that I am new to AirBnB and how it works and I did accept Matt's offered refund. However, I can't help feeling that Matt's pricing policy and explanation leave something to be desired. If it had been possible to meet Matt then perhaps things would have been clearer. As it was all communication was via text. In summary, a lovely home in a great location but make sure that what you book is what you get and check the rate. Caveat emptor (buyer beware). Stephen"
256464,22595098,2014-11-10,22231109,Anna,"This was our first trip and booking through AirBnB. We were very grateful that Matt was willing to allow first-timers stay with him. We unfortunately didn't meet him during our stay but has a great time while we were there! The house is beautiful and couldn't have been in a better location. There is a lot of nice art on the walls and the bookshelves have tons of interesting things to read. The house is right in a very fun part of south congress close to restaurants, bars and shopping. Plus it's very easy to get downtown or, if you have a car, to places outside of the city. Everything we needed was provided for us, there was a very nice kitchen that we didn't use but had all the things you'd need to cook. The room, while not exactly how it was pictured, was cute and perfect for us. The attached private bath was nice to have also. There were two very sweet kitties that we enjoyed having cuddle up with us when we were in the living room.  Overall it was a great experience and Matt's home made it that much more comfortable for us first time visitors to Austin."
256464,23630841,2014-12-07,22623097,Ian,Host was awesome.  The water pressure is a little low so don't flush the toilet or anything before or during a shower.  The room was okay.
256464,26514520,2015-02-14,12421520,Delilah,I stayed at Matt's residence for one night. It is very convenient to South Congress and downtown Austin. The home itself is very comfortable and there was nothing lacking. I would stay at Matt's again if I was in the area.
256464,28254519,2015-03-21,26735035,Greg,"Its a nice house, comfortable room, close to town and best of all the owner is a great guy."
256464,29961384,2015-04-14,27210862,Krystal,The reservation was canceled 38 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
256464,30296822,2015-04-20,24125063,Tracey,Again Matt was very easy to deal with. Our accommodations were exactly as expected. Will definitely revisit his place when back in Austin. 
256464,40795400,2015-08-02,38031090,Natasha,"Although we didn't get to meet Matt, he was extra helpful in the reservation process and choosing the right room for our weekend in Austin.  The house is beautiful, well kept and perfectly located in the SOCO district.  The room was VERY clean and comfortable...and we traveled with our 3 month baby.  It met all of our  expectations.  We had a wonderful weekend!"
8540638,48975959,2015-09-29,40989744,Monica,"Beautiful and comfortable oasis. Barbara made us feel at home. She welcomed us to our room with a tray with flowers, mineral water and homemade treats. Beautiful backyard with pool and hot tub. Highly recommend and look forward to staying again!"
8540638,49194215,2015-10-01,21195117,Amanda,"I was insulted, kicked out and left with no place to go. "
8540638,49405866,2015-10-03,1023990,Heather,"Barbara is the perfect hostess, and we felt like we were in Santa Fe! Plus, Barbara knows Austin so well - even the best nearby gas station to fix a flat tire. The home, pool, and location are unbeatable. We hope to return soon. "
8540638,50525818,2015-10-12,42695708,Raven,"My experience was great! Barbara's house is catered to hosting airbnb guests and she made everything feel extremely comfortable. It literally felt like a home away from home! If I am ever traveling to Austin again, I will for sure book a room here. "
8540638,50796741,2015-10-14,775850,Mackenzie,"If you're looking for a Texas oasis that reflects the true heart and feel of Austin, this is it! Barbara is a wonderfully gracious host, and her space is bright and refreshing. It exceeded our expectations -- pictures don't do it justice. 

We were greeted with a tray of goodies upon arrival -- wine, chocolate, home-made cookies, and fresh flowers. We enjoyed starting our mornings by the pool, and coming back in the evenings to relax in the plush robes. A great place to be, for any occasion :) She also provides a comprehensive guide for great things to do in Austin -- from art to great drives and nightlife! Super helpful. We're looking forward to coming back soon!"
8540638,52989113,2015-11-03,42648344,Shelly,It was a pleasant stay. Barbara was so nice to stay for me till midnight because my flight was rescheduled. The house is spacious and well decorated. Barbara was even helping to send my stuff back when I was leaving in a rush. Thank you so much.
2008852,9743323,2014-01-07,9190733,Andrew,"vi and chris were great. very nice home. a super generous couple and very accomodating. would happily stay with them again. oh yes, and the bed IS the most comfortable i've ever slept in!"
2008852,10904965,2014-03-12,2256325,Jeff,Vi's home was great! Exactly as described and really quite comfortable. She was also very accommodating and very communicative. Would stay again!
2008852,11008941,2014-03-17,9738147,Sam,Great! Would recommend to others no question
2008852,11536064,2014-04-07,1834713,Chris & Genn,We recently's stayed at Vi and Chris's house during a family weekend vacation to Austin.  The house was very comfortable and we felt right at home immediately upon arrival the beautiful older neighborhood with big trees in the backyard was a delight for the kids to play in. We look forward to staying in Vi & Chris's house in the future and would highly recommend them as gracious hosts and a lovely rental home to anybody visiting Austin. 
2008852,11780380,2014-04-14,14056007,Eric,"My wife and I had a great stay at Vi's home.  Comfortable, clean, and spacious, Vi's home is located in a quiet neighborhood that allowed for an uninterrupted night of sleep.  Highly recommended. "
2008852,12292291,2014-04-28,13665532,Jovin,"The house was gorgeous, with an amazing backyard and plenty of room to play outside.  And yes, it even comes with a tetherball!

The interior was well-done, and it even had a homely feel, so it wasn't hard to just lounge around and enjoy the company of your friends or just watching some television.  The 3 bedrooms were tastefully done, and the bathrooms were well maintained.

Vi was very helpful before, during, and after our stay, and I cannot recommend a better hose.  Looking forward to staying here again next year!"
2008852,12832896,2014-05-12,12241062,Ernesto,Vi was a great host and her house is beautiful.  The space was better and upgraded from the pictures I had seen and it exceeded our expectations. It is definitely a great house to host friends and family.
2008852,13138501,2014-05-20,12835560,Karen,"Vi's home was spotless and elegant. Everyone in our party loved it and felt immediately at home. We were there for a wedding and hosted a dinner party for 25 outdoors using the spacious backyard deck and picnic table. The festive outdoor lights and majestic pecan trees were the perfect setting for family and friends to mingle. Vi is an excellent communicator. She responded to every question in less than 10 minutes. She is easy to get along with and made several special accommodations to help us out. She worked hard to make sure we had what we needed and could arrive early to get ready for the party. Vi had an amazing assortment of green tea and a wonderful appliance that kept hot water ready. We enjoyed some oil paintings by her father-in-law that adorned the walls. The home is elegant, tasteful, and relaxing to be in. My friends were impressed and we enjoyed the ambiance so much more than being in a hotel. Vi was wonderful to work with. We enjoyed being in this older neighborhood in Austin. It was quiet, peaceful and safe. "
2008852,13791170,2014-06-04,3181938,Rachael,"Vi's place was clean and well equipped! It had all the amenities we needed including dishes, a broom, even an umbrella. Full size appliances and a great living and dining space for entertaining, as well as the beautiful deck. She was prompt and a pleasure to talk to. Always available when you needed to get ahold of her.  We had a party of 6 staying in the house, but entertained the rest of the family (13 total people for dinner) with ease using the extendable dining table.  I'd Definately stay there again."
2008852,14642536,2014-06-23,16429189,Heather,The house was exactly as advertised. It was perfect for our group stay. The host was easy to get ahold of and provided all the necessities. I would definitely recommend this listing to others!
2008852,16106618,2014-07-22,16386808,Christian,"Overall experience was phenomenal.  I'd definitely bring a group to stay at Vi's again for a weekend in Austin.  She left thorough instruction about how to get in the house, which was neat, well-decorated, and inviting.  I had a group of seven and we all were able to sleep comfortably.  We had an issue with the A/C, but Vi and her husband were just a phone call away and we fixed the problem in no time.

Five stars!"
2008852,18331677,2014-08-25,12610853,Mia,"Vi was very accommodating to our request for an early check in. The house was lovely - perfect for the party that we threw. It was a truly wonderful place to have a rehearsal dinner and wedding preparation party. Loved it! There were many small amenities around the house that were very appreciated: beautiful paintings, reusable shopping bags, thoughtful notes. "
2008852,18884649,2014-09-02,17941084,Mary,"Everything was clean and ready for us - including a vase of flowers and a bottle of champagne.  We found your home lovely, comfortable, and perfectly suited to the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding.

FYI:  Bride's 5 year old nephew was stung outside (back yard) by some wasp/bee?  He is perfectly fine, but you might wan't to check that you don't have a nest.

Thank you!!!"
2008852,19635691,2014-09-15,20686175,Steven,"Vi was very helpful with an issue we had at the beginning. The House was clean and neat, the perfect place to stay. The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown. The house was easy to find and getting settled was simple. I would highly recommend this place for your next trip to Austin. "
2008852,20138054,2014-09-24,7445422,Daniel,"Vi's house was fantastic, not a single complaint. spotless, spacious, quiet. The beds were so comfortable me and my friends were tweeting at each other in the middle of the night to see if everyone was having the same magical mattress experience. "
2008852,21276937,2014-10-14,16488230,Laura,The house was absolutely amazing and in a great location.  Everything posted on the description including pictures was accurate.  Vi was very easy to contact during our stay and we loved the home!  Thankyou!
2008852,22013084,2014-10-28,17729454,Alexander,"Vi was very helpful and the home matched expectations.  The bedrooms were cozy, beds comfortable, and the kitchen was great and easy to use. Overall, it was a great trip and the accommodations were exactly what we were looking for.  Thanks for helping make our vacation so nice!"
2008852,23355202,2014-11-30,16742628,Krista,"Vi's home was absolutely wonderful - everything we expected & more. The kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking supplies we needed to make a Thanksgiving meal for 6. Quiet, safe neighborhood with huge trees everywhere. We met a few neighbors as well & they all seemed very nice. The backyard is amazing - we spent hours every day out there. The beds are so comfortable too! Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park is just a few minutes drive away & is incredible! We would definitely stay here again :)"
2008852,23733638,2014-12-08,24460690,Yendy,The host was super nice.  She replied to emails very promptly.  I loved her home and when I go back to Austin I only hope it is still available.
2008852,24458732,2014-12-29,19312148,Kristin,"The Fiesta House was a perfect place for our extended family to enjoy the holidays. The owners have gone out of their way to make you comfortable, in fact I haven't slept so well in a long time! Everything we needed was there and so nice! We loved the Christmas tree and you may a few new ornaments! We would highly recommend it for a stay in Austin! Thanks for making our holidays so memorable!"
2008852,25325814,2015-01-12,3381161,Lyndsey,I rented this house for my fiancé and his groomsmen for his bachelor party. They all absolutely loved the house and barely even wanted to leave it. They had a great time and will go back if they are ever in the area again! 
2008852,25835071,2015-01-26,26584767,Taehyun,"Vi gave us a prompt reply and made home available within 24 hours. The place was beautiful and cozy as described. My family had wonderful memory in Austin. Especially, my dog had great fun and did not want to leave Vi's house. If you are a dog owner, this is the place you must stay. "
2008852,26316772,2015-02-09,26294926,Yvonne,"This was my first experience using AIRNB.  I must say, choosing the Fiesta House was definitely the best option for our bachelorette weekend get-a-way! Our host Vi and her spouse were great! They both made the home very welcoming.  Not to mention, just a phone call away if needed.  I highly recommend the Fiesta House.  Great experience overall. "
2008852,26587481,2015-02-16,23638466,Dominic,"Great place to host a large group. There's fire pits and a nice bar( please tip the bar jar if you use it) comfy beds too, thanks vi"
2008852,28124560,2015-03-18,2221569,Mike,Vi's place was awesome. There were pecans everywhere. Also she has a puppies with guns calendar by her entrance that we found horribly offensive and incredibly funny at the same time. I'd live here!
2008852,28251915,2015-03-21,1482023,Molly,"This was a great house that worked really well for our needs.  Vi was easy to work with throughout the process of renting.  Our only hiccup came at the end of the stay - the guidelines on how to leave the house weren't clear to us, so we left some dirty dishes and she wanted to charge us extra for that.  "
2008852,28391797,2015-03-23,4316802,Darien,"I love the Fiesta House! What a great place. There were four of us staying there. So much room, we were all able to do our own thing without tripping on each other. The bedrooms are  big and everything was nice and clean. I had a few questions about the Nest system and Vi was available and answered my questions right away.  It was a great 2 days. "
2008852,29282268,2015-04-06,477749,Tara,"The house was just like the pictures. It is big and fit 8 of us very easily. The beds are comfortable and the bed in the master bedroom is big enough for 3 adults. If we visit Austin with a large group again we will stay here. 

The host was a good communicator and responded quickly. "
2008852,29815527,2015-04-13,24441626,Kyla,"The Fiesta House was perfect for our bachelorette party. It was cozy and cute and clean. Vi was also very attentive to all of our needs. She was reachable at all times and answered questions extremely quickly. We loved the the space of the dining room, kitchen, and living room and the beds were extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was cute and everything in Austin was accessible from the location. My only complaint would be that we didn't realize the backyard would be under construction and the in-law suite wouldn't be finished yet, so the backyard didn't really match the picture. Other than that, Vi and the house were amazing!"
2008852,30758611,2015-04-27,26363669,Rachel,Vi's house was perfect for a bachelorette weekend with nine girls!! We all slept comfortably and had an awesome time! Very clean house and had everything we needed to make our trip the best! I would highly recommend Vi's house for a great stay in Austin! 
2008852,31299487,2015-05-04,27130291,George,Very nice house and felt right at home.  Easy to find and loved all the communication and reminders.  Vi was very responsive to everything.
2008852,31902021,2015-05-11,10137152,Brian,"This was quite possibly the best AirBnb we've ever stayed in. My girlfriend and I are from Washington, D.C. and a bunch of our friends live in Texas, so we planned a weekend together in Austin. Everything about the house makes it ideal for spending time in a big group (we had 7-8 people). The living room is really nice and has plenty of space for a blow-up mattress; the bedrooms are gorgeous (especially that master bedroom with the deluxe shower), and the beds are really comfortable. There's also a beautiful long table in the dining room, right opposite the well-stocked bar, which is perfect for gathering around. The kitchen is big and though we didn't cook in it, it looked very well-stocked.

We didn't meet the hosts but they still managed to make us feel welcome - they arranged for us to arrive early, even while the housekeeper was still cleaning, so we could drop off our bags. They have a great binder of tips about the area, and we went to a local taco truck they recommended and it was fantastic.

The house is beautifully decorated - my girlfriend kept commenting on how much effort they've clearly put into every room - and we all felt so at home there. If we do another Austin weekend, we'll definitely stay there again. Thanks so much, Vi!"
2008852,32475061,2015-05-18,17937887,Clau,"We booked the Fiesta House for a girls' weekend bachelorette getaway. It was the best choice we could have made! Firstly, Vi had a response rate at less than a few minutes! I very much appreciated the quick and easy communication line with Vi. The home was so great! Beautiful decor, loved making breakfast in the amazing kitchen, and the beds were delightful. All the girls, including those that stayed on the couch had a good night's rest. The backyard was a beautiful relaxing oasis! Two things that we recommend are bringing mosquito spray as there are many of those unfortunately in the backyard and maybe some wall plug ins or wax warmers if you have a problem with dog smells (several of us noticed a strong dog smell but that was quickly solved with a safe wax warmer plug in.) We had an issue with the toilets  but Vi resolved these ASAP, which we were very grateful for. I highly recommend the Fiesta House for a group or family getaway. Thank you Vi!"
2008852,34477884,2015-06-08,11482,Clay,"Had a wonderful stay with the family at Fiesta House. Extremely clean, comfortable beds, and nice leafy location in North Austin. Would definitely stay again."
2008852,35218954,2015-06-16,31940431,Matthew,The listing was very accurate and it easily accommodated our family of 6. We enjoyed our visit and the house.
2008852,35787078,2015-06-22,30988059,Angela,We were happy. Quiet. Clean. Comfortable. Space worked well for our family of 7 (5 adults/2 teens) while in town to attend a wedding. We loved playing games on the large table. Also enjoyed grill and fire pit. Amazing selection of teas and coffees which we enjoyed also. Host also very good about communicating. 
2008852,37357092,2015-07-06,30549279,Lindsay,Absolutely beautiful home and backyard!! We felt right at home. The host we're very accommodating and this is where we will be staying next time we come back. Perfect!!
2008852,38198339,2015-07-13,36059488,Grace,"Hi Vi,
Our party of 7 had a wonderful time staying in your home.  The house was exactly as pictured, very clean, and included everything we would need for a weekend stay.  The deck was fantastic and areas surrounding the home lovely.  Thank you again for having us!"
2008852,39126831,2015-07-20,2103465,Jonathan,Vi was always quick to reply with every response and question I had. Her property was charming and location was perfect. it took almost no time at all for our group to settle in and feel at home. I would definitely recommend to others.
2008852,40995752,2015-08-03,38463086,Jason,Overall it was an awesome experience. The house itself was nice. Fit all 6 of us very comfortably. The house at first was a bit tricky to get to. I was able to find it after a minute or two however. Our host gave us a list of all the food places around the area and their favorite spots. Overall a great first experience with AirBnB.
2008852,48000028,2015-09-22,22218785,Steve,"The location was perfect for our group and the neighborhood quiet and suburban. We didn't spend a lot of time at the house but the beds were all quite comfortable, the kitchen VERY well-stocked with anything you could ask for, and the outdoor spaces very enjoyable. We had no trouble finding anything and Vi was the perfect host. The well stocked bar was a definite plus, even though our party didn't drink to speak of, and the whole place spoke to the thoughtful nature of our host. Don't hesitate in renting this house - it was a great find and I would stay there the next time I'm in Austin!"
2008852,48774803,2015-09-28,18229184,Albert,"When I got to the place, it felt like home. With the Zen and Fung shway decorations of the home, it was extremely relaxing. It was the perfect getaway for my birthday. The house was very modern and extremely clean. Plenty of space in the backyard for pets to explore. I plan on coming back again."
2008852,50742748,2015-10-14,12246320,Christine,"This house is amazing! Clean, spacious, has all the amenities you may need. We took advantage of the cool wrap around porch and fenced-in yard.......perfect for families or people with pets. Thanks Vi for making our first trip to Austin a blast!
"
3962472,21230707,2014-10-13,21295318,Nicholas,"Matt is an awesome host, super friendly and welcoming. He was very receptive to our needs and made sure we had everything. He included bath toiletries and had the place ready to go when we arrived, even invited us to party with him! Staying here for ACL was perfect. Sweet location and privacy. The house was nice with fun decorations. We were able to walk to the festival without any problems and it was safe too. Deciding to use AirBnB and stay at Matt’s was the best idea for ACL. As a first timer, I’m very pleased with my experience."
3962472,28364710,2015-03-22,21050283,Chris,"Loved the house and the fire pit, great house, and the location worked well for our SXSW needs. Matt was an excellent host, very accommodating with our last minute booking. Recommended!"
3962472,29788013,2015-04-12,4039422,Colin,"East Zilker Zecret was located in a quiet neighborhood off of Lamar near Oltorf. It was a convenient drive to downtown while also being near some good local shops and restaurants.

Matt instantly made us feel welcome. He was very flexible with our arrival time. I was hosting a bachelor party and we had an event before checking in that ran long. He gave us a run down of the rules, what was available, and made some suggestions for us for nearby restaurants and bars. 

The house itself was a good size. We had six guys with us, although only four stayed. The beds were clean and freshly made, and the living space comfortably fit all six of us with room to spread out. The bathrooms were in great shape, clean, and all six of us showered back to back with no shortage of hot (email hidden)pressive! Snacks were lined out for us and when Matt discovered some left over beer, he even opened one up with us and shared one of his favorite local brews. As a craft beer snob, I always appreciate a recommendation (The One They Call Zoe, by the way). 

He was readily available by text message for anything that we needed but that didn't end up being necessary. If you're looking for something in this area of Austin or downtown, I'd recommend it. It felt like we were staying at a friend's house and I did not feel uncomfortable at all. That goes a long way for getting a good night's rest, too. Matt can read a person well and also is a Realtor in the area. I'd recommend his AirBnB AND house hunting services for sure."
3962472,48545440,2015-09-27,21079644,Nick,"Great place.  Spacious, clean and cozy.  Air conditioning was a life saver this weekend! Beds were really comfy too.  It's just off S Lamar on a quiet street.  We had a great stay.  Would definitely recommend."
3962472,50454459,2015-10-12,41216219,Sharee,"Matt made my entire group feel just at home for our trip to Austin for ACL. This was our groups first time to the music festival and his house was an ideal spot to crash. As soon as we walked in Matt had left an awesome note and we knew right off we were in for a great time. Thanks Matt for making not only my experience at acl, but all of my friends experience one to remember. We will definitely be back to Austin!"
7492691,49691046,2015-10-05,44183435,Hunter,This was a nice little apartment! Very clean and in a quiet complex and neighborhood. Grace was a very nice host. The bed was also super comfy so that's a plus. 
7492691,51465131,2015-10-20,44798601,Ruth,Grace was a thoughtful and responsive host who made my first visit to Austin a pleasant experience.  Her apartment was very clean and I had everything I needed to enjoy a comfortable weekend.
424920,2679291,2012-10-22,2227122,Niccol,Mandi's house was exactly as it appeared in the photos. Super comfortable bed and awesome coffee. The house is close to downtown and was comfortable. Mandi is very personable and helpful.
424920,3772445,2013-03-13,1272654,Michael,"Mandi was a great host, very accommodating!  Everything was smooth, the house was spotless and in a great location.  Comfy beds!  And a quick 5-10 min drive to downtown.  All in all a great stay in Austin, made even better by a terrific host.  Highly recommended!"
424920,11398454,2014-04-01,11832956,Kt,Mandi was a wonderful host.  She had lots of tips on getting around the area during my stay and helped me settle into the place with things like breakfast items.  She was even kind enough to give me a ride from the nearby Greyhound station.  Especially appreciated in a week when temperatures were way colder than normal.  I strongly recommend her as a host!
4164781,21265190,2014-10-13,12733947,Austin,"The unit was even more perfect for our stay than the pictures depicted.
We had exactly every accommodation we needed. The entry was very easily accessible and private. The location was unbeatable. "
4164781,22363866,2014-11-04,21696454,Pamela,"This was or first airbnb stay and it couldn't have been better. Joe was a great host. A bottle of wine was waiting for us on our arrival and a bag of pecans as we left. The studio apartment was better than the photos showed. Everything was new. It was tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable. Perfect for our stay. 
The studio is over the garage separate from the main house where Joe and his wife live. It was private yet close by our hosts. They have a lovely yard.  It is a great location, close to downtown and with good neighborhood 
restaurants within walking distance.  
Plus when we left a couple of items Joe mailed them back to us before we noticed we left them! Thanks for everything Joe!"
4164781,22573559,2014-11-09,23432055,Jen,"We had an awesome stay at Joe & Susan's studio. The studio was even nicer than pictured and perfect for two people. Everything in the space is brand new and the bathroom is fantastic. Joe couldn't have been nicer, he made sure we had everything we needed, gave us some great tips for the town and checked in on us throughout our stay. The neighborhood itself is also fantastic. The studio is on a quiet tree-lined street with off-street parking extremely close to all the cool restaurants/bars in East Austin. We stayed during a road trip from NY to San Francisco and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great spot in East Austin. "
4164781,22939623,2014-11-17,9868042,Matthew,"We had an absolutely perfect stay at Joe's and Susan's beautiful spot. The studio (which could not have been cleaner) seemed brand new, the bed and futon were as comfortable as could be, and the bathroom was gorgeous. It was incredibly easy to get in thanks to the key pad lock and Joe was very responsive by text/email prior to the trip to make sure we were all set. They even left us waters, popcorn, and k-cups should we be thirsty for water or coffee or need a snack! There were also ample clean towels and sheets and even bathrobes for us. I can't say enough about how accommodating they were. 

Adding to that, it was so nice to stay in a quiet neighborhood just a very short walk from the center of Austin. I highly recommend staying here!

Thank you for such a pleasant experience Joe and Susan!"
4164781,23193511,2014-11-24,23746746,Ben,"Joe is so sweet and welcoming and his apartment was the perfect place to stay. It is beautiful and spotless and the location is very central. Joe made me feel right at home, was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend staying with him, and hope to be back soon!"
4164781,23287649,2014-11-27,7500676,Rachel,"This is the perfect Airbnb!
It is walking distance to downtown, but still has off-street parking. 
The studio has a keypad entry, so you can come and go as you please without any key exchanges. The space is beautiful, the photos don't really do it justice. It is immaculate and well designed.  
Joe and Susan are great host and long time Austinites.  They were able to give me great recommendations for restaurants in the neighborhood."
4164781,23412787,2014-11-30,3718159,Gabrielle,"Joe and Susans studio was absolutely perfect for our trip! We stayed at a 5 star hotel one night and Joe and Susan's place the next night and to be honest, we felt so much more comfortable and accommodated to at Joe and Susan's place! They are in a great location and the studio itself is very well kept! The pictures really don't do the place justice. We preferred staying here because it was near Rainey St. and it was a great choice. We also appreciated the waters left in the fridge, the coffee and the comfy robes! Access to and from the apartment was so easy and it wasn't necessary to meet up with them in person although, if we had to time I would have loved to have met them and given them a personal thanks, they were so lovely on the phone. "
4164781,23717020,2014-12-08,23004278,Carly,"Joe and Susan (and their apartment) were the best!  Not only were they so helpful in terms of trip planning and preparation, they were even better when we got to their apartment.  We were welcomed by fresh, clean, white, terrycloth bathrobes, perfectly made beds, and a bottle of wine from a local vineyard. The listing description and photos were accurate, maybe even didn't do the place justice!  The apartment was spotless and practically brand new, with a private entrance, driveway, and staircase just behind Joe and Susan's house.  Joe was even there when we arrived late on our first night to see that we had arrived safely.  He also and checked in with us regularly throughout our stay and gave us some great recommendations on restaurants and bars.  As first-timers to Austin we had no idea what to expect but were totally blown away by how perfect the spot was for us!  We were really happy with the apartment and truly don't have any complaints.  Maybe just a little tip to others coming to Austin for the first time - definitely worth it to rent a car for the long weekend.  We were a bit hesitant to do so but when we had free parking with the apartment we decided to go for it.  It definitely paid off and gave us tons of freedom and ability to explore the city.  We will absolutely be back to Joe and Susan's!"
4164781,24205496,2014-12-22,4448003,Avery,"Awesome place, and it looks just like the pics.  It's a very, very comfortable place - bottles of water in the fridge, popcorn, and Keurig with K-cups for breakfast.  Oh, and even a bottle of wine!  It's quite close to South Congress, less than a 5 minute drive.  If you use street view on Google Maps, the neighborhood may seem a bit dodgy, but the owners live downstairs and the apartment is secure - and it wasn't an issue at all for us.  Bottom line, we'll use this place again next time we're up in Austin.  Thanks!"
4164781,24781605,2015-01-02,25107248,Veronica,This was an AWESOME experience! The place is beautiful and very well kept. Joe was a wonderful host. 
4164781,25331604,2015-01-12,13268672,Casey,We had an excellent time in Austin and Joe and Susan's place is fantastic. We will definitely try to stay there again.
4164781,25606182,2015-01-20,1103488,Daniel,This place was wonderful! So clean and so welcoming with fantastic amenities and a great location. My wife and I felt extremely comfortable in this space and loved the neighborhood. The hosts were available for anything we needed and very friendly. Would definitely recommend it for anyone exploring Austin. Our only regret was that we didn't stay longer!  
4164781,26681123,2015-02-17,25551552,Samantha,"Joe and Susan were the absolute best hosts! They're studio was amazing, looked exactly like the pictures and it was in such a good location! Very spacious, clean and had so much character. They also thought of every detail-robes, coffee, wine, hangers & more! I would definitely recommend this place. It was the perfect getaway for our first time in Austin :) we will be back!"
4164781,26897192,2015-02-21,2647055,Joe,"Joe and Susan's place was absolutely perfect for our first trip to Austin. The photos, while great, don't even do it justice. It was clean, spacious, tastefully decorated, and had everything we needed and more. Plenty of towels, fridge stocked with water, plenty of coffee, and other breakfast items. The bottle of red waiting for us on arrival was such a nice touch especially after a long day of traveling (and lost luggage).

Joe and Susan were so thoughtful and accommodating. Checked in on us from time to time, offered up suggestions as we needed them, and when hearing that I lost my luggage on arrival Joe had a toothbrush, toothpaste, and other essentials ready for me. We couldn't have asked for better hosts!

The location is great. About a 10 minute walk to the Rainey St. area and under 10 minutes to the nearest bike share station. For any first timers to Austin I would definitely recommend biking. For $8/day you can bike and explore the entire city in just a few hours, not to mention get a great workout! Exploring Austin by bike was our favorite part of the trip and Joe and Susan's place was in a perfect location to start and end your day.

Next time I return to Austin I'll definitely be looking to stay at Joe and Susan's place again!"
4164781,27001291,2015-02-23,26797186,Dee,"We absolutely loved this apartment. There were 3 of us staying, and had 2 double beds, which was perfect for us. The hosts were very helpful and communicative - we had some issues (our own fault!) and they were really helpful resolving them. They left out complimentary wine, tea, coffee, popcorn, cereal - so nice! I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
4164781,27366038,2015-03-02,6491729,Deborah,This is a charming and very clean space in a perfect Austin location.  I was welcomed by the owner when I arrived then found a bottle of wine waiting for me in the kitchen!  I would definitely stay here again.

Joe and Susan were very friendly and helpful, their space was clean and everything we could ask for.  The fridge stocked with water and the wine on the counter were definite bonuses! Their space is within walking distance to downtown and plenty of great shops, cafes, restaurants, and salons in East Austin.  It's just as pretty as the pictures!  

Would definitely recommend, will stay again."

4164781,28571919,2015-03-26,17889736,Shaun,"Joe and Susan were incredibly welcoming, flexible and courteous hosts. First off, their beautiful studio space is amazingly decorated, complete with a fully-furnished kitchen, workspace w/ desk, a comfortable seating area and wonderfully comfortable bed. The newly refinished bathroom was outstanding, too - I am thoroughly jealous of their tiled-shower and its water pressure. :) 

Location was perfect, as well. Just a few minutes from downtown Austin and in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood. Some good restaurants within walking distance, too.

I've stayed a lot of Airbnbs all across the world and this has to be one of my favorite experiences yet. "
4164781,28803920,2015-03-30,28158271,Rebekah,"Joe welcomed us as soon as we arrived. He was very nice and inviting. The studio was spacious and very clean! The location was perfect and close to downtown. The pictures don't do this lovely studio justice! We enjoyed our short stay, thanks again! "

I ran into joe a couple of times during our stay on our way out, and he was very friendly and had some great recommendations of things to do in Austin.  The location was great, very close to the fun bars and restaurants in east austin, which my friend and I preferred to 6th street. Would definitely stay at joe and Susan's place again! "

We got into some date conflict, and he worked with us to ensure our dates worked. When we got there, the place was perfect! The location- walking distance to bars, restaurants, and a quick bike trip to the river trail. The studio- spotless, clean, new, spacious. We loved it so much we wanted to move in! Joe and Susan thought of everything....water in the fridge, coffee for the morning, popcorn for late night snack, and a bottle of wine for whenever. We are definitely going back to their place! "
4164781,30309946,2015-04-20,11111532,Andy,Joe and Susan were great hosts and made our stay very enjoyable.  Their location is well positioned to enjoy the city of Austin and the apartment setup is very comfortable!  Thanks Joe & Susan for a great weekend
4164781,30779197,2015-04-27,29067030,Ryan,"Joe and Susan's home is in a wonderful location in Austin, particularly if you plan to get out and explore on foot or two wheeled transport.   Huge trees flank every street and there are no shortage of local shops, restaurants and bars just minutes away.
The room is spacious and has everything you could possibly need . It immediately feels like home with comfortable furnishings and art on every wall.  "
4164781,31972818,2015-05-12,31623978,Bobby,"We had a wonderful time staying at Joe and Susan's. Their studio is indeed spacious and very comfortable! Plus, it's new construction so everything is modern and nicer than most hotels we could afford to stay at. Simple touches like a bottle of wine, coffee/tea, water bottles, and toiletries eased us in and we took advantage of the fridge to buy a few groceries and store dinner leftovers. The apartment has private access at the rear of the property and a nice parking spot. The location is convenient to some nearby restaurants and just a quick drive (or cab/Uber ride) to the rest of the action! 

We highly recommend Joe and Susan's apartment for your next Austin visit!"
4164781,32971777,2015-05-24,28996169,Andrew,Joe and Susan's studio in East Austin is amazing! Perfect location to experience all of Austin. Walking or biking distance to almost anywhere and incredibly gracious hosts.

The studio is clean and Joe provided a full case of water and complimentary wine - lovely touches. I would highly recomend this studio to guests looking to stay in/near East Austin. 
4164781,35006500,2015-06-14,222584,Efrat And Asher,"Joe and Susan were great! You couldn’t find more hospitable, accommodating hosts. The apartment too is wonderful: large, beautiful, and cool (which helps a lot in summertime). It is close to the coolest areas in Austin, but is still very quiet. We can’t recommend this apartment enough, and we would definitely stay here again whenever we’re in Austin. "
4164781,44033444,2015-08-23,41093631,John,"Incredible experience! Location was perfect for my stay. Host was very responsive and yet allowed me perfect privacy. The pictures are accurate, but the place felt bigger once I arrived. Private parking was nice. Didn't make use of the patio/grill area, but would be excellent for travelers who do. Comfy bed, plenty of clean towels, and bathrobes as well. Highly recommended!!"
4164781,46175943,2015-09-08,7909909,Yunfei (Julia),"We stayed in Austin for a weekend trip. This studio apartment is situated above the parking garage in Susan and Joe's backyard.

Also very cool attention to detail such as the free water, wine and popcorn. "

The studio is exactly as described and was very comfortable. We loved the entire space! There is also separate parking so you can bring a car. The location is perfect as well! It is set a block or two from busy roads, so it is very quiet at night, but it is within easy walking distance to most of the bars and restaurants in the area. There are plenty of taxis if you want to wander a little further out. I had an amazing experience with Joe and Susan and would definitely stay with them when we visit Austin again."
4164781,49636524,2015-10-05,33576024,Rico,We couldn't ask for more attentive & gracious hosts.  Joe & Susan greet you with a bottle of wine and help familiarize you with their awesome rental unit.

Essentially the ideal Airbnb experience and why I use the service."
4164781,50477105,2015-10-12,43210952,Hillary,"Joe was an absolutely fantastic host! He greeted me after arriving from a red-eye flight and was nice enough to store my bag before check-in. He gave tips on the neighborhood and made our group feel right at home.

His back guest house is a loft apartment and is immaculate, spacious, and fully equipped.  This darling studio apartment had it all. Complete with bathrobes, plenty of towels, water bottles, and even wine and a coffee machine! The pullout futon is incredibly comfortable too. 

The neighborhood is emerging and within a short bike ride to Rainey St, the river, etc.  I'd highly recommend the nearby coffee shop, Cenote, for a breakfast taco and iced chai! "
4164781,51283113,2015-10-19,24429241,Joshua,"Great stay at this Airbnb! Convenient to everywhere we wanted to go, great communication with the host, and comfortable and clean unit with nice amenities.

We were lucky enough to meet Joe on our arrival and he made us feel incredibly welcome.  Plus some great tips about Austin!  The apartment itself was perfect.  A beautiful space, much nicer than the hotels we stayed at on the rest of our travels. Plus the welcome wine, water and snacks were a lovely touch.  The location was also great, around the corner from some quirky local bars and a quick journey into city centre.  Overall, a comfortable, clean and very nicely decorated apartment with equally nice hosts!  "
4164781,51811600,2015-10-24,644278,Ray,The place was awesome!  Quiet and clean with great amenities. Very close to downtown which was important to me since all my meetings are located there.  Joe was very reachable by text and even came up and introduced himself the night I arrived.  This place would be ideal for work or play!  I plan to bring my wife back for a weekend getaway in the spring. 
4164781,52288131,2015-10-27,28368051,Kinsey & Jordan,"Joe & Susan's loft was perfect! The location and amenities couldn't have been better. Less than 2 blocks away from 5 bars and a food truck park. They stocked the house with plenty of towels, shampoo, coffee, and even wine and beer! The loft is on top of their garage in the back yard of their personal house. However, there is a back entrance so you can see them as rarely or as often as you'd like. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended. "
1612438,9142406,2013-12-09,10153615,Norman,"A very pretty small house near S. Congress Ave.  Situated near good shopping and excellent restaurants in Austin's hottest neighborhood. The house is nicely arranged with two bedrooms (one with two single beds, the other with a king) and one bath. The kitchen is set up well too. The owners seem nice. A TV would have  been good. We enjoyed it and would go back there on future visits."

Loved the porch too. If our team is the same size as this year we may come back again."
1612438,11281397,2014-03-28,12307319,Kelci,"Everything about this house was great. Matt & Julie were very friendly and accommodating hosts. They even had some fancy chocolate and a bottle of sparkling wine waiting for us when we arrived! The house was small but just right for two couples. The beds were super comfortable, the back patio is private and lovely, and the turntable got well-used every (website hidden)'s coffee is just down the street so we walked over every morning. The location is just perfect. No more hotels for me! I'll be hoping to stay here any time I come back to Austin."

1612438,28118317,2015-03-18,2491228,Finnur,Julie och Matt är suveräna värdar. Inget verkar vara problem för dem. Vi hade några extra önskemål som de löste på studs. Vänligt välkomnande  och ett fantastiskt litet hus i gångavstånd till centrum.

Our group had a great time in Joseph's very clean, very nice house.  The living, dining room and bedrooms were all great (beds very comfy!), and the backyard was awesome.  He was more than accommodating and very flexible on the checkout time which was awesome.  The house was in a nice location, in a very quiet neighborhood.  We all recommend staying here!"

I paid for the rental on Wednesday night and it was ready for occupancy at 1 pm the very next day, with a bottle of champagne in the fridge for our celebration! The house is very well appointed and comfortable. I will recommend this house to any out of town guests I have in the future!
Thanks, Joseph!!"

There is a terrific 24/7 coffee house near by-ish called Strange Brew, a great South Austin venue for small intimate shows from some pretty well know Austin artists. Look it up--it won't disappoint."
603084,3707016,2013-03-06,4561290,Dan,"This is a fantastic house in South Austin! We are both techies, so having decent internet and a large TV with Netflix in a swankily-furnished home made this place absolutely perfect for us. The fenced yard was fantastic for our small dog to run around in off-leash, too! Joeseph was the perfect host, and even when we had some minor issues he responded instantly and kept us in the loop as to how he was fixing them. Would definitely recommend!"

Although I did not have the pleasure of interacting with Joseph, he was very communicative and constantly checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly.

603084,5094765,2013-06-11,1999380,Steve,We stayed at Joseph's house with our daughter and our twin 10 month old granddaughters.  We felt very comfortable with the cleanliness of the house.  Joseph responded quickly to our request to stay in his house and was available if we needed even the smallest item.  We would recommend his house highly.
603084,5598787,2013-07-08,4038601,Wayne,"Joseph is a great host that keeps his property beautifully maintained. This location is not too far from Downtown Austin and is is great space.

Joseph is very responsive and accommodating.I would highly recommend this rental. "

Not only were the memory foam mattresses the most comfortable sleep I've had in a long time, the house also felt like ours all weekend.  This is an extremely clean, modern, and comfortable home.  Great for a big group of friends or a family.  Thank you Joseph for an unforgettable stay!"
603084,6075369,2013-07-29,1567355,Arun,"We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Joseph's place.  The entire experience was well thought out, from our initial contact to our departure.  Furthermore, we really appreciated the interior decor, and my kids absolutely loved the large couches (no sharp corners). We'd definitely stay here again.   "
603084,8325440,2013-10-26,3068365,Timothy,"After one disastrous Airbnb rental and one that was just ""okay"", I was prepared for anything in Austin.  And I'm glad I left myself open to anything, because Joseph's place was wonderful!
I travel with a large contingent for trade shows, which makes finding a home to accommodate five different people a challenge.  Joseph's home worked beautifully for us and Joseph was a gracious host, making a few changes to better suit our needs.
Upon an early arrival - Joseph was kind enough to let us check in several hours early- I was concerned because the home is in a non-descript subdivision tucked off a major highway and from the outside it looks quite small.  Once inside, however, my fears were allayed.
Joseph has done a wonderful job rehabbing this home with upgraded materials and finishes.  The furniture is comfortable (one of my colleagues thought the bed was too firm, but she likes sleeping on big feathery clouds, so don't be too worried) and the bathrooms are more than adequate.  The master has a rain shower head in the ceiling, which is lovely to stand under but annoying to hear drain for 30 or 40 minutes after you turn off the water. 
And that's about the only thing I can really complain about: a shower head.  Heck, I can handle a drippy shower head!
All in all, I got a very good price for a wonderfully appointed home that sheltered five of us without any real complaints.  Thanks, Joseph!
PS - if you're coming to Austin, be aware that they have a ban on disposable plastic bags, but the house has an assortment of paper bags in the cupboard.  If you're going to the grocery, take one or two with you and do your part to conserve.

603084,8778222,2013-11-18,1782135,Jeff,"Rented this house for F1 weekend.  Was very pleased how the house looked on the inside, wouldn't expect the comfort from the looks of the (website hidden) was very easy to get answers from with  any ?'s I had.  The only complaint we had was the bathtub in the hallway filled up with water when showering.  Wasnot a BIG deal cause we just used the other in master bedroom.  Overall was very pleased with the rental.  Hope to do business with again"
603084,9783880,2014-01-10,9122880,Stephanie,"We had a very pleasant stay at Joseph's house in S. Austin. Our family met there over the holidays and 4 adults fit quite comfortably in the house. We enjoyed being able to hang out together instead of dealing with the difficulties of a hotel and having a kitchen where we could prepare meals helped lower the cost of going out to eat on our extended stay. Joseph was kind enough to check in every now and again to make sure everything was going well and offered to assist with all our needs. The appliances in the kitchen were great and the big screen tv was perfect for evening movies. We didn't make use of the fireplace but that could make things even cozier, I imagine. Only one slight detail, there is only basic tv (although the plus is that if you have a Netflix or Hulu account you can watch tv shows and movies) so if live out of the country like us it makes watching tv difficult. We were a little sad to be unable to watch a very important football game. This by no means reflects on the quality of the house but just a side detail for any international travellers since we don't have cable accounts to log in to or Netflix or Hulu accounts. 
The beds were very comfortable, towels were fluffy and the kitchen is stocked with the basic essentials. 
We were very happy with our stay and would recommend this location to anyone and look forward to staying here again on our next trip to the ATX. "
603084,9962692,2014-01-21,10928302,Crystal,I really enjoyed my stay at Joseph's home. It was very clean and had everything you could need. I fell in love with the shower in the master bedroom. Booking with Joseph was super easy and he was quick to respond to all of my questions. He even suggested places of interest. This is a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin 
603084,10042094,2014-01-27,10635383,Chris,"Joseph's house is awesome. The entire inside of home is newly remodeled and looks really nice. We had 7 dudes piled in there and had plenty of extra space. Joseph was really easy to contact and we always got a quick response. He also made checking in to the house super easy. This was my first Airbnb experience, and if most of the hosts are as helpful and honest as Joseph, then I'll most definitely be using the website again in the future. "
603084,10387838,2014-02-17,9017601,Vivian,Joseph's place is perfect for our family of six. The house is very clean and kitchen has everything we need. All beds are very comfortable and excellent matress. It has so much more space than a hotel room. Highly recommend Joseph's place.
603084,11554844,2014-04-07,11803090,William,"Great place.  Absolutely loved it, everyone did.  Presentation was extremely professional!  Thanks again Joseph."
603084,13066222,2014-05-19,9319327,Hitesh,"We stayed at Joseph's place for 2 nights recently. We had a very comfortable stay. Joseph was very easy to communicate with, made the check-in and check-out procedures extremely smooth, and was very helpful. We're staying here again the next time we're in Austin :-)"
603084,16981117,2014-08-05,8871082,Houston,"Joseph and his team did a wonderful job taking care of us in his lovely house.  Always available and helpful, it was a pleasure staying there."
603084,21913327,2014-10-26,22542809,Tommy,Joseph's place was wonderful!  The home was beautiful and felt very cozy.  The living room couches were amazingly comfortable!  Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Joseph was very communicative throughout the entire process of booking as well as during the stay.  He's a great host!
603084,22613381,2014-11-10,11798933,Mike,"This was very nice house with lots of space. It's close to downtown and major highways. 

Joseph is an amazing person and was very helpful during our stay. I totally recommend this place for your stay in Austin. "
603084,23366101,2014-11-30,13223904,Anna,"My family and I had a Thanksgiving trip to Austin and Joseph's place was exactly what we were looking for!   The home was perfectly spacious for four people and conveniently located to the city of Austin (as well as lot to offer in his immediate neighborhood).  Would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a stay in Austin.   Thanks, Joseph!  "
603084,24919201,2015-01-04,13632389,Bojan,"Amazing stay at Joseph's house in south Austin! It was perfect for NYE weekend for 3 couples (6 people) and a puppy. Plenty of space, clean, modern and perfectly equipped. Joseph as a host was great and communicated incredibly fast. Was flexible with a later checkout and provided great information about the house including the awesome entertainment system provided. The beds were very very comfortable and everything was super clean. The back yard is a great size and is well kept. Overall it was just an exceptional experience from the moment we arrived until our departure. Location was fabulous also, 15 minute drive to downtown, 12 minutes to Zilker park. Just great, can't say enough things. Would stay here again FOR SURE! "
603084,25364442,2015-01-13,21658262,Robin,Everything was great for a long weekend in Austin. No complaints 
603084,27387785,2015-03-03,25367959,Raman,The house was exactly as described- clean with all facilities available to guarantee a comfortable stay. Very quiet suburban neighbourhood but only a short drive up to downtown.
603084,28124584,2015-03-18,26742737,Francesca,"The house was above and beyond what we expected.  It was clean, well stocked with towels and bedding plus all the needed extra supplies such as soap and other toiletries. The kitchen had all the needed dishes, cutlery and cooking supplies.  The location worked very well for SXSW. Our host communicated all the needed instructions and was available for questions.  It was a smooth check-in and check-out process.  I would highly recommend the house and we would stay there again."
603084,28337244,2015-03-22,27964267,Cameron,The host was excellent with communication.
603084,28730068,2015-03-29,15977827,Joanne,"Joseph's location was perfectly suited for our needs. The description is accurate. The living room area was great for meetings and social gatherings. Kitchen is kind of small, but still supplied with cups, plates, etc. We needed extra chairs and Joseph kindly brought them to us. "
603084,29245779,2015-04-05,30509002,Fernando,"Accurate description. The house was very clean and well set up for our stay - even being very short notice! 
Nice and quiet neighborhood.
Nice backyard with bbq and seating area.
Easy and flexible check-in/check-out arrangements.
Good location.
Definitely recommended."

603084,31801067,2015-05-10,5751646,Bennie,"Joseph was very welcoming and our stay at his house was perfect.  The house was super clean which is more important to me than decor.  However the modern decor, easy access to the house, and use of a garage door opener made the stay very pleasant.  I would definitely stay here again in the future."
603084,34950270,2015-06-14,9472306,Sheryl,Everything was as pictured and great
603084,40596206,2015-08-01,34979833,Anthony,"I rented the house as a base for our family when relocating to the US. It was a great option as the house was fairly close to downtown and also the districts where I worked. Our experience from start to finish was great. 

Joseph is the perfect host. He made everything ready before we arrived so we simply had a home away from home. If we needed any help with anything he way always just a phone call away, so it was great to know there was help or advice at hand.

The house is very tastefully decorated and kitted out with all the latest mod cons. It is well suited for a family or friends just visiting Austin. The neighbourhood is quiet and residential, but close enough to local amenities. 

I would certainly stay here again and would recommend the house to anyone looking for a base in Austin! "
603084,41902866,2015-08-09,11005839,Zaid,"The host was amazing. He made sure everything was clean and sturdy before we arrived. There were no surprises, pictures show exactly what you will get. There was nothing to complain about.
"
603084,45004358,2015-08-30,41267972,Jennifer,"Joseph was a very accommodating host. The house was beautiful, and it was evident he put a lot of effort into making sure everything would be ready for us. We were very comfortable during our stay. "
603084,45970301,2015-09-07,30604765,Melissa,"We stayed here with two other couples and our dogs over Labor Day weekend! The house was very modern, comfortable, and had everything we needed! We were able to cook a few meals and sit down together at the six person dining room table. We really enjoyed the spacious master bedroom and bathroom. The rain shower head was very nice! The dogs had a big backyard to run around, which was very helpful. We enjoyed the close location to restaurants. We had a great weekend here in Austin and would recommend Joseph's place :) "
603084,51310038,2015-10-19,6311059,Justin,"Joseph was an incredible host.  The welcome message he sent explained everything I needed to know, and I found a very detailed set of instructions for how to use features of the house upon arrival along with two sets of keys.  The house was exactly as described and pictured and I could not be more happy with my stay!"
603084,52036991,2015-10-26,14249306,Stefan,"Communication with Joseph was effective and easy.
The house was well equipped and super clean. All amenities were there.
Nice towels and and higher end soap and shampoo were provided.
We stayed for 4 nights with 3 people - all bedrooms were nice size and very comfortable.
The house is about a $13 to $15 Uber ride from downtown.
We enjoyed our stay and would come back."
328769,1332942,2012-05-22,2394634,Raul,"My stay at Petra's place was a great introduction to Air B&B.
Nice quiet place and really good tasting popcorn too.
Peaceful and simple, yet elegant.
Thanks to Petra's mom Peggy for being so graceful."
328769,1440746,2012-06-08,1872621,RAZ: Rebecca A. Z.,"Petra's place was fabulous. I was in town for some important interviews and really needed a calm, serene place to regroup and prepare. This place was just that. The place itself is very welcoming and interesting. Peggy, Petra's mom, was a wonderful hostess. I highly recommend this lovely family. "
328769,1879041,2012-08-03,2972316,Rich,"Great place to stay, I will be back. Thanks for the hospitality"
328769,3797495,2013-03-16,2886734,Isidore,Y
328769,3806721,2013-03-17,2886734,Isidore,"Danielle was an awesome host.  She had bagels, fruit, and coffee available in the mornings for guests.  Additionally, when there wasn't a bike available for guests she went and purchased a hot pink hybrid that was perfect for SXSW.  

The location was a bit north of Austin but car2go, bus #5, and biking are all easy options to get to the campus/downtown.  I highly recommend Peggy/Danielle's spot.

Thanks!"
328769,5014133,2013-06-07,3066983,Sean,"Peggy's place was perfect when i need somewhere quiet to stay and get some work done in Austin. It's super peaceful with a lovely backyard, and Peggy is a very considerate and friendly host. "
328769,5152855,2013-06-15,6546578,Mark,Peggy has a winning formula: provide a comfortable bed in a pleasant room within a welcoming home at an affordable price!  I stayed five days and six nights and within 24 hours I felt at home.  I will return; even if it's only to stop by and say hello!  
328769,5479659,2013-07-01,5326014,Xia,"Peggy is a great host! She gave me a ride from the Greyhound station to her house, prepared coffee in the morning and let me use their bike. Her house is clean and spacious and well decorated with artsy pieces. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. I spent two nights in the artsy room and enjoyed very much my stay. I would recommend you to choose her place if you want some experience of real Austin local life. "
328769,5534531,2013-07-04,7092724,Erica,"Very accommodating, comfortable house. She gave good insight to the city and valuable recommendation on what to see. 
"
328769,5573612,2013-07-06,7286635,Eddy,"Peggy´s place is great, peaceful and very confortable. Bus stop is less than a block away, you can hear the birds all around and basically be all around in a short walk.  Great place to stay!"
328769,5595111,2013-07-07,7286635,Eddy,"Well, I enjoyed the place so much that I decided to stay two more nights, it´s a peaceful place to work and the bikes were really helpful and enjoyable.  Peggy is a great host, coffee was a nice detail. Place and host totally ok! Thanks for hosting me."
328769,5653695,2013-07-09,7097793,Michael,"Great Host, recommended!"
328769,5935047,2013-07-22,1007730,Micah,"Walking into Peggy's home brought back fond memories of another Airbnb host in Berkeley.  The wood floors, books, and art from afar added to the feeling that this is a place for curious people.  Peggy communicated quickly, and was very helpful throughout my stay.  Her location is right in Allandale, minutes away from the Norris Convention Center and the Alamo Draft House."
328769,5995378,2013-07-25,1384407,Venu,"Peggy is a great host. She is doing some amazing things that one will be privileged just to know. If you are going to Austin, you might want to consider her as a host."
328769,6082457,2013-07-29,6546578,Mark,This was my second stay with Peggy.  I asked for the same room and got it...along with the same friendly and accommodating treatment.  I hope to return.
328769,6474258,2013-08-13,3362687,Jeremy,"Peggy's house and yard were beautiful (was that a pomegranate tree out front?!). Everything was very comfortable and convenient, and you can't beat the price. I would recommend Peggy's room to anyone. "
328769,7238901,2013-09-13,2624569,Viorela,"It was my second time staying at Peggy's house and loved it. She is very welcoming and her house is quiet, neat and located in a great area. Highly recommended!"
328769,8764252,2013-11-17,7435707,Jane,"Peggy and her delightful family are wonderful hosts. She made me feel welcome, took me to the supermarket when I arrived jet-lagged after a long journey from London, and is happy to share her home and kitchen with visitors. Peggy is a very interesting lady having written a truly insightful and fantastic book on Afghan women, so intellect stimulation is provided along with a warm, happy house."
328769,49572886,2015-10-04,43640495,Katherine,"Peggy welcomed me with warmth and kindness from her first text message. She was away for the weekend, so she was concerned that I feel welcome and comfortable in her home without her being there. When I arrived, not only was the key where she said it would be, so also was a neighbor checking on me to see that I could get in easily. Peggy checked in a few times to ensure I found coffee and whatnot. Her home is an artist's, yogi's, woman of the world's refuge. I enjoyed the best night sleep I've had in months. I hope to stay with Peggy every time I visit Austin."
328769,51952680,2015-10-25,31087610,Shivani,Peggy is an amazing host and the best part is she is warm and gentle in ensuring that your stay at her place is comforting and peaceful. 
1585933,10937384,2014-03-14,1809463,Jeff,Greg was a good host and his place was exactly as described: Close to ACC and well maintained. Would stay there again.
1585933,11372045,2014-03-31,6186474,Jacob,My wife and I and two friends stayed at Greg's place for a long weekend in Austin. His place was tasteful and very clean with all the comforts of home included. Greg was very considerate in making us feel at home but also made sure we felt like the place was all to ourselves. Very specific and simple directions to get to and in the house which made things very smooth. The location is perfect since its right outside all the hustle and bustle but is just a short walk to Rainey street and the lake trail. Awesome experience overall and I would highly recommend Greg and his hosting abilities for your trip to Austin!
1585933,21030737,2014-10-10,8947245,Sylvia,"Greg was helpful in planning our trip and kindly allowed us to borrow his bikes, which we used to cycle to the great restaurants, bars and shops of south congress. The flat itself doesn't have much natural light, and was not quite clean when we arrived but Greg says he is speaking to the cleaners about this. Overall, it's a decent location and fine as a base to explore the brilliant city of Austin."
1585933,21122029,2014-10-12,12456792,Nancy,"Unfortunately I sold my ACL festival ticket, and therefore did not stay at Greg's, however my good friend still did. Greg was extremely prompt in responding to all of our questions and even offered to lend us some bikes! While I did not personally stay there, I did receive this message from my friend the first evening: 
Dear Nancy, Greg is awesome! We are about to head to the festival but he pretty much opened his castle to us and said everything we could touch was ours. We will be missing you! Thank you for setting this up!
Needless to say, Greg was a great host to my friend, and if I ever travel to Austin I will definitely be staying at Greg's. "
1585933,22288900,2014-11-03,15778673,Glenn,"Greg  was great.  Easy to get ahold of. Very clean place with bikes , WiFi  and close to downtown  and Soco. I wouldn't hesitate staying there again. "
1585933,28137957,2015-03-18,649281,Dan,Perfect place for us for SXSW. Walking distance (~30 minutes to the convention center) but we mostly used lyft. 2 beds and a couch were perfect for our crew. I used the laundry facilities too which was nice. I would definitely stay there again if possible.
1585933,30304695,2015-04-20,22655733,Amy,"The description was incredibly accurate.  Greg was available when we had any questions, and it really made the entire trip fantastic.  Great location, about a 30-40 minute walk to the heart of downtown/6th street, but the walk is mostly along the beautiful trails on Lady Bird Lake...not too shabby!  The place was very clean and comfortable."
1585933,30711332,2015-04-26,17251755,Catherine,The place was pleasant and of good size.  Confusion over wifi link was handled immediately by the host.  Location convenient and good for our purposes.  The video on how to enter the apartment was not one that showed this facility - rather it showed a space with a ladder to a loft bed and the entrance was not the same.  Assume this was a mistake.  Greg was present when we arrived so were able to find the correct unit and get the key.
1585933,50455900,2015-10-12,5633418,Bryan,Greg was a great host. His place was in a quiet neighborhood but still close to many things to do (and close to the bus lines). He had a ton of water and snacks there for us when we arrived as well. He was super responsive to questions and overall it was a great experience. Would definitely stay at his place again.
1585933,51382380,2015-10-19,27009023,Anthony,"Great apartment, good wifi and air conditioning. Very good location to downtown Austin. Great facilities like laundry and pool and parking. Very clean apartment and well stocked kitchen."
692220,2552469,2012-10-08,3741888,Phil,The home was clean and in a very nice neighborhood.  You are close to S. Congress and also 6th Street for all types of entertainment and restaurants.  Great location!  Very peaceful outdoor views from the  balcony and the back yard porch.  We would recommend this to anyone.
692220,2635514,2012-10-16,3741311,Oscar,we stayed at his lovely home for Austin city limits and it was the BEST experience i ever had with a Airbnb host. place is very clean and offers all the items you needed when you're away from home. it was the first time i ever felt like a night in after the festival was an option. Garret southern hospitality was an added bonus  if you really want to experience Austin you have to stay here. 
692220,2832287,2012-11-07,2961441,Emma,"Garret was super gracious and made us feel very welcome in his adorable home. He made arrangements for my boyfriend to get the key as he arrived very late the first night (without me) he even offered him a ride from the airport.
The house is on a quiet street but close to everything on south congress. Its just off a main bus route but we made use of his two bikes and roamed all over the city! its also a stones throw from one of the best breakfast spots 'Curra's Grill' YUM!.
we had a great trip and would definitely stay here again."
692220,2937222,2012-11-21,2464441,Mike,"Garret was an excellent host, and his place is great. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a place in Austin to consider his home. Garret was very methodical, sending detailed information ahead of my arrival, and he alerted to the neighbors to our arrival (making sure there were lots of people we could count on in case of trouble). The apartment has an open, spacious floor plan. The bed and couch were very comfortable, and it was a pleasure to stay here. Additionally, within an easy walk were a grocery store and several really cute restaurants and coffee shops.

All told, it was a great stay in Austin. I'll certain contact Garret again when I'm next in town!"
692220,3248491,2013-01-03,212529,Drew,"Our stay at Garret's place was really nice. It was clean, comfortable and even stocked with a few beers he left in the fridge for us. He also let us use a couple of his bikes since we didn't have a car, and they worked out great for us. We were able to get around town easily from his place. It was maybe a 10-15 minute bike ride to downtown, and there were lots of great places to eat and drink that were within biking distance.

Garret was very easy to work with and gave us some great recommendations on places to go and things to do. He was out of town when we arrived, but stopped by later in our stay to help us with a flat bike tire. He seemed like a nice guy and was really helpful.

Though, overall our stay was great, there were just a couple negatives. Right before we arrived a cold front moved in to Austin and it got pretty cold. The place had two space heaters, but it wasn't quite enough to keep it at a cozy temperature. Something you probably don't need to worry about normally in Austin, but it was quite a bit colder than usual this time of year. On the plus side he had plenty of blankets on the bed to keep us warm at night."
692220,3572101,2013-02-18,4909748,Tom,"Garret's place was full of character, had great natural light, and an awesome balcony to sit and relax on. It was clean, warm, and super relaxing. It's also really close to all there is to do on South Congress and easy to get to from Downtown and the Airport. He even let me use one of his bikes and showed me a great trail along the East Side that gets you easily into some of the more up and coming young/fun neighborhoods in town. Very accommodating, thanks! -Tom"
692220,3644875,2013-02-26,3968894,Mohammad,"Great Home! Very nice Location! and Garret is the host!. Even though Garret left for a trip, he was always there by phone! I loved it! 
Thanks Garret,
Mohammad."
692220,3696248,2013-03-04,1561479,Daniel,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
692220,3999447,2013-04-02,1866208,Jaclyn,"We had a great vacation and Garret's home was perfect.  The location was convenient, really close to SoCo area where there are tons of bars and restaurants.  We were able to park in his driveway and the use of his porch was a nice way to spend out evenings.  We plan to stay here again for our next visit."
692220,7701777,2013-09-30,1688167,Jennifer,Very quiet neighborhood. The bed was very comfortable and I enjoyed the patios!
692220,8018914,2013-10-13,2253800,Scott,"Garrets place is in a great location and really nice, the two porches were def great to have!"
692220,8697782,2013-11-12,469485,Sofia,We had a great stay at Garret's. He was very welcoming and helpful with every question we had. The place is at a great location within blocks of South Congress and an HEB. Recommend for couples.
692220,8833069,2013-11-20,4060036,Brian,"Had a good stay at Garret's place. Awesome location just off SOCO. Comfortable stay for 3 with the couch and aerobed he provided. Garret also left us some beers in the fridge, not that we needed any more. 

Garret was out of town but he was still an extremely fast responder to emails, especially when we accidentally locked ourselves out. :T

Two thumbs up!"
692220,10200610,2014-02-05,4655438,Scott,"Garret's awesome (if you need any recc's, he has a lot of great ones). His place is awesome. His place itself is in good shape and was very clean. It's just south of Oltorf in SoCo, and is really conveniantly located for getting to a lot of great things. Pretty much the entire area and into downtown is bikable from his place (he has 2 bikes that he lent us, even!). Walking should be doable too, but might be a bit of a trek to get to downtown.

There are just a few of things to be aware of, but nothing major (we felt) - especially at the awesome rate we had:
- As another reviewer mentioned: if the weather is cold (and it was pretty nasty when we were there), there's no built-in heating. To overcome this, he has some space heaters and the bed has some nice heavy blankets. The space heaters take some time to heat (tip: keep the bedroom door closed), but once they do, we found them sufficient for keeping the bedroom reasonably warm.
- One of the walls that is shared with one of his neighbors is sorta thin, so you can hear a bit. It wasn't bad though, and everything was quiet once the evening hit (so we weren't kept up or anything).

"
692220,10539381,2014-02-24,11598561,Stephanie,"Garret was WONDERFUL. Not only did he offer us to use his bikes while in town he gave great insight to some of his favorite spots in town. Austin just rolled out a new City Bike Share program which we ended up taking advantage of instead of using the offered personal bikes. It was cheap, and Garret gave directions on how to pick them up as well as bus schedule information. I would certainly stay again, and woudl recomend his place highly. On top of all that, it was truly like a home away from home with all the natrual and green products he has throughout his home. Composting, recycling and Garret's overall attitude toward life and the enviroment made me feel very comfortable. The neighborhood is fantastic and the neighbors are all very friendly, many spoke to us on our way out as we walked or biked everywhere we needed to go once getting to Garrets."
692220,10692812,2014-03-03,11691446,Sunny,"The neighborhood was nice, the place was comfortable, and really more spacious than the two of us needed. There are two markets (a large HEB and a smaller beer / wine shop with some groceries and take-away food items) located between the apartment and South Congress. It's about a 15 minute walk to the heart of SoCo, and we decided to drive once (because we're Texans and mostly Texans don't walk), but we ended up having to park so far away that we'd have been better off leaving the car at Garret's place."
692220,10957750,2014-03-15,11722957,Charlie,"Garret was a completely brilliant host. He picked us up at the airport with a cooler full of beers which was hugely appreciated after a ten-hour flight! Then he offered us advice on cool things to do in South Congress and made sure we were totally settled in, before leaving us to our own devices in his gorgeous, well-located apartment.

Later in the week, he even came along to see our film at SXSW! Couldn't recommend highly enough."
692220,11364561,2014-03-31,2569234,Rachel & Rob,"Garret's place was perfectly located in S. central Austin, with easy access to Car2Go and bus routes, which was important to us.  We loved the layout of the place, with easy access to outdoor areas in many directions!  And the VW speedometer reminded me that I definitely need to find a creative use for the old speedometer from my Ghia. :)

We didn't get to meet Garret in person, but he made sure we had everything we needed.  He even worked with us when we spaced and left behind our huckleberry elk sausage in his freezer.  Lol!  That was a gift for a friend that we certainly weren't going to get replaced in Austin!  Thanks again, Garret."
692220,11810206,2014-04-15,13566189,Christy,"Garret's place was very comfortable, clean and in a great location.  Easy access to everything we wanted to do in Austin.  Thank you Garret!"
692220,11997413,2014-04-21,326004,Rob,Great spot in SoCo with little gems throughout the place.  Recommendations were excellent.  Fit three comfortably.
692220,12262194,2014-04-27,11458905,Matthew,"Garret was a fantastic host! My friend, his wife and I needed a place to stay for two nights leading up to a wedding here in Austin, but our plans were up in the air until the last minute. No matter — Garret hooked us up. He had some fantastic suggestions for places to go and things to eat, which were a boon even though we'd been here before. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and it's an easy walk to the hot spots in South Congress (though not so close that you'll want to be walking back and forth too much in a day). The apartment is laid-back and very thoughtfully appointed, which we really appreciated, and he stocked us a few beers! It would've been helpful to have a car, but we ended up being fine without one. "
692220,21201261,2014-10-13,9691765,Laura,"Garret was an excellent host.  He was easy to communicate with and made our arrival, stay, and departure very easy.  The house was great.  Very comfortable, clean, and tastefully decorated.  He even left us a bottle of wine in the fridge.  The balcony and the beautiful back yard were both great places to relax with the morning coffee and nurse the previous night's hangover, as well.  :-)

The neighborhood was convenient.  The house is just off Congress and there were a few great places to eat within a few blocks (really loved the Magnolia Cafe for brunch), and it was an easy bus or Uber ride to anywhere we wanted to go.  We had a really good time here and I would definitely stay again!"
692220,22248125,2014-11-02,8482128,Bettina,"Garret was great at recommending wonderful places to walk to and was very knowledgeable about his neighborhood. The place was exactly as described and had tons of lovely character. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. As other people mentioned, the memory foam bed was SO comfortable! I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend others to stay here as well. Thank you for your hospitality Garret!"
692220,26828025,2015-02-20,3459427,Roxane,Clean house with a chill vibe in a great location.  My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Garret couldn't have been a more helpful host. The porch was a great place to relax before/after going out ... and being able to borrow bikes was a terrific bonus. 
692220,27726805,2015-03-10,6899022,Katie,"We had a wonderful time in Garret's apartment. The location was great (close enough to everything, but also in a quiet neighborhood). The apartment has everything you would need, and the balcony was great! We wholeheartedly recommend Garret's flat and would return any time!"
692220,28125205,2015-03-18,5848789,Erica,"Garret was a very welcoming and generous host! His home was very comfortable and perfect for what we needed. The location was also great for us, as we were able to hop on the bus to get to S. Congress and downtown for SXSW without having to rely on expensive cabs. The porch was a great place to relax after a long day out on the town. Additionally, I was able to find a nice running spot just a couple blocks away on the St. Edwards campus."
692220,50460372,2015-10-12,24559748,Ginny,"The house was perfect! We arrived early and Garret allowed us to stash our things and freshen up! He even graciously had beer awaiting for us! The house was more than comfy for 3 people and the perfect set up for a fun trip to Austin! The balcony was a plus with the amazing weather the weekend of ACL. Everything was a short 5-10 min ride away, yet the house is tucked away in an eclectic little neighborhood out of the way of the hustle and bustle! Garret recommended great restaurants near by, and we absolutely loved the South Congress area! The bed and couch were super comfy, and the house came with all the needed amenities! Airbnb-ing at Garret's definitely made us not ever want to stay at a hotel! The house was quaint and quirky and made us feel right at home in Austin. We cannot wait to head back and visit Austin again!"
692220,51462631,2015-10-20,2470207,Joseph,Garet's place was very cozy and exactly as described on his page. He was very hospitable and communicative. We did not have any issues and he was always available for recommendations in the area or advice for how to get around. We would recommend this place to anyone.
692220,52233970,2015-10-27,29960523,Shelby,"Garret was a great host! We loved the apt and were really sad to leave. He took the time to bring his bikes over for us, which was a great plus to the overall experience. Would stay again, thanks for a lovely experience."
2487354,10915521,2014-03-12,4451573,Spencer,very hospital and in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of trees. 
2487354,14108950,2014-06-11,16439438,Adam,"Had a great time staying at John's! Stayed 3 nights over the course of 4 days... we had tons of great conversations! His place is pretty cozy and his cat is a total sweetheart. Let me smoke on the porch and even watch some DVDs to help sleep. John even allowed me to sleep in when he had things going on in the AM. The couch was great and the shower, too! Totally recommend this place to anyone! Extremely affordable and well worth it!"
2487354,43101141,2015-08-17,38783275,Akim,"A very quite place, a nice host which let you being free and independent. And a very cute cat."
2487354,49494320,2015-10-04,19675153,Juliano,"John's place is very easy to get to by bus. It's a very quiet place and very comfortable. John gave me a towel, a pillow, sheets, a blanket, and kept the kitties locked away at bedtime so I could rest, which was very kind since I was there for a conference and had very little time to sleep. Plus he has a good shower and cool filtered water at your disposal at all times. Oh, and his couch is really very comfortable.

John's housemate is also a great guy, we talked a lot on my last day there.

An Uber driver told me John's neighborhood was kinda rough, but I walked 15 minutes from the bus stop every night and I never saw anything out of the ordinary going on.

John's place is very friendly and accessible and I'd definitely stay there again."

He was available by phone throughout our stay to answer questions. His place is a great location and very nice accommodations.  The space was clean (especially since pets live there), spacious and comfortable.  It provided everything we needed for a short weekend stay with our 2 year old.  Although it was in a large (nice) apartment building, the noise level wasn't a problem.  Parking was easy and accessible (parking garage).  There is a Starbucks within walking distance and a couple of restaurants for dinner and breakfast/brunch.  Large greenspace next to the building.   We'd definitely stay here again.  "

3988298,20045262,2014-09-22,6241966,Amina,"The apartment was great. Nicely renovated living area & kitchen. Fun porch swing & patio. Cute, central location. "
3988298,20252736,2014-09-26,550011,Dave,"My stay was great! I was in Austin for a half work half leisure trip. The place was a good central home base on a quiet street. The space the clean, comfortable, and cozy. There was also plenty of parking in the neighborhood for my rental car. "
3988298,20368949,2014-09-28,20937252,Michelle,"Mireille did a great job making us feel welcome. I requested an air mattress and she gladly provided one for use. All of the linens seemed brand new, the unit was clean and comfortable, and the house manual was very simple and straightforward. She left us a bottle of wine and 2 beers in the fridge, which was really nice!

The unit matches the photos and description online very well, although it was a bit smaller than we had expected. Compared to other available AirBnB units in the area for 5 guests, Mireille's unit was a very competitive price, so we were happy about that! There is one bedroom and it is huge, while the kitchen area is quite tight, but it works well if you don't plan on cooking with more than 1 or 2 people in the kitchen. The king bed was AMAZINGLY comfortable. It was huge and so cozy! I wish I could have taken it home with me :). We didn't have access to very many channels on the cable network, so if you plan on catching a sports game or something, plan on finding a bar ahead of time, we found out we couldn't get ESPN too late.

The neighborhood was a nice location - behind the backyard was an open, very shrubby green area. It was nice to see that and still be in a big city like Austin. We were within walking distance to some cute stores and restaurants, and just a few blocks from 6th Street. We were much closer to West 6th than dirty 6th, and about a 8-10 minute cab ride from Rainey Street."
3988298,20764669,2014-10-05,3336310,Terence,Mireille was very welcoming and even left a surprise for my gf after telling we were coming to ATX to celebrate her birthday. She kept checking in on us to make sure everything was okay and also very responsive to any concerns we had. 
3988298,21001728,2014-10-09,17233158,Sonny,Everything about the apartment was as described. The bed was very comfy. The area nearby was really nice & I would recommend breakfast at the local 24Diner and the Wholefoods food hall is impressive. There was a bottle of wine & chocolate left for me on arrival. I had no need for any contact with Mireille whilst I was there.
3988298,21062357,2014-10-10,4083508,Lydia,Great (email hidden)esome place with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Will definitely be back!
3988298,21350926,2014-10-15,21591934,Natalie,Our stay in Austin was fantastic and Mireille made us feel very welcome with a bottle of wine and chocolate. The house was right near the action and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend staying in this place!
3988298,21880341,2014-10-26,17690733,Dominique,"Mireille made check in and check out so easy. She provided a binder of recommendations for getting around and eating locally. This listing is ideally situated. It is walking distance from the essentials and nice establishments on West 6th as well as a very short distance to the parks and easy to get to essentially anywhere around Austin. Mireille was un-intrusive and very progressional throughout the booking and stay. Her listing lives up to your expectations with a full kitchen, spacious and well lite bedroom, cozy environment."
3988298,22111377,2014-10-30,22160674,Polly,"We had a nice time in Austin. The apt was clean and comfortable. It was a quiet neighborhood. It was a nice walk down 6th St to the ""scene"" We were happy with our stay."
3988298,22168352,2014-10-31,22583882,Katie,What a cute apartment.  The location is very convenient to many restaurants and the nicest Whole Foods I have ever seen. It was a quick pedi-cab ride downtown as well. The bottle of wine and chocolate were a nice touch as well. Thank you for the enjoyable stay.
3988298,22303702,2014-11-03,21572969,Heather,Super cool house in a classic Austin location. The bed was mucho comfortable .Our host also left us a wonderful welcome treat. Highly recommended. 
3988298,22488825,2014-11-08,5654987,Sarah,Mireille was a great host and the listing is a great location! 6th street restaurants and shops are so close and easy to walk to. Cozy home base while you're enjoying all Austin has to offer!  Definitely would like to stay here again when in Town!
3988298,22585428,2014-11-10,8711973,Vera,"Mireille was very speedy in her communication and access to the apartment was easy and quick. Mireille left a bottle of wine and some chocolate for us which was a nice touch. The kitchen has everything you need, although we mostly ate out. The space is very nice and sunny  but in the pictures it appears larger than it turned out to be. The bed is large and comfortable and the air works well. The space worked fine for the three of us (me, my husband and my adult son) but five adults might feel too cramped in this space.   It is very convenient to restaurants and downtown Austin. Great area and the biggest Whole Foods on the planet right down the street. My only issues were that we could not get the TV to work (and that was really not a big deal since we spent the majority of time out enjoying Austin) but the second issue was more problematic for us. The bathtub rocks and feels unsafe. My husband who is very tall and big decided to take a very short shower the first night and did not feel safe using it again after that. It should definitely be fixed immediately. The price of the rental is fair for Austin but the bathtub problem made it seem overpriced. Still, overall...enjoyed our experience in Clarksville (Austin) very much. Thanks, Mireille!"
3988298,23033291,2014-11-21,10306087,Garth,"Wonderful host: attentive, friendly, had the house completely ready and very welcoming. We had asked if there was a hair dryer, in case we could leave ours behind but not expecting there to be one by any means. She appologized that there was not and on arrival a brand new one was waiting for us! Very thoughtful"
3988298,23128445,2014-11-23,23748903,Devon,"Mireille was very friendly and quick to respond in her emails and provided all of the necessary info that made for a hassle free stay. The property was neat and clean, and the coded lock on the front door was convenient for all of us to get in and out. The neighborhood was nice and a perfect walking distance from downtown-6th area (about 15 mins). Only disappointment was that there was a grill on the patio in the pictures so we brought some food to grill out, and there was no grill when we got there. "
3988298,23533957,2014-12-03,13616331,Susie,"Mireille had everything absolutely ready and was an amazing host. The house was exactly as described and perfect for what we needed. 

So lovely and accommodating. "
3988298,23823636,2014-12-11,1888563,Kayleigh,"Great one bed flat with comfy big bed and amenities. Brilliant area of town, walkable and safe from a night out. Washing machine was a bonus as we had been travelling for a while and this was super helpful. One bed flat had large bed and a smaller one in the bedroom plus a pull out sofa bed. A little cramped as there were five of us but perfect for a short stay. Brilliant base in Austin, thank you very much - great comms from booking through to leaving the properly. Will use again! Thanks! "
3988298,23912355,2014-12-14,22308318,Russell,"Mireille had everything set for us when we arrived.  Great host and a great location.  Easy walk to Whole Foods, coffee, bars, etc.  Street parking only, but it was plentiful and we didn't have any issues parking.  I would definitely stay here again.  Super comfy bed in the main room and plenty of pillows/blankets to make up the couch bed.  We had 3 people in here comfortably.  

The walls and floors in this place are paper thin.  If the neighbors downstairs want to start signing Notorious B.I.G. @ 2am, you're going to have to listen to it in stereo.  The shower requires a bit of acrobatics, especially if you are tall, but it gets the job done.  "
3988298,24034226,2014-12-17,24390404,Laura,"Mireille left us a bottle of wine and candy bars (which our seven-year-old daughter loved) — a nice touch! The duplex looked very much like the photos. The location is fantastic, centrally located with many cafes and shops within walking distance. It's an old building, so it's a little rough around the edges with a few quirks — slightly sloping floors, an antique claw-foot bathtub (which is a bit rocky and has no place to rest shampoo or soap) — but what it lacks in modern conveniences, it makes up for in charm. The unit was clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. All in all, we had a great stay!"
3988298,24094857,2014-12-19,4533609,Mason,"Our stay at Mireille's place was great! We got all of the information we needed to get there and get in well ahead of time. Getting in with the emailed access code was no problem, there was plenty of space, and everything was clean and organized. The location was excellent too - short walking distance to lots of restaurants, bars, music venues, and shopping, mostly with independent, eclectic stores, but not noisy or anything.

The place has one bedroom with a king-size bed, and the living room has a couch with a fold-away bed, so it's fine for two people or couples to stay there and have some privacy from each other. I think the extra couch-thing in the bedroom can be laid flat to make a bed too. The bathroom is nice and spacious, with plenty of mirrors, though the tub shower is a bit cramped."
3988298,24168170,2014-12-21,24950770,Russell,"Perfection. Thank you, Mireille. I feel like I got more than I paid for. If you want to explore Austin, you cannot beat this location. This place is so clean and comfortable, and in a very nice neighborhood. Centrally located like a dream-- close to 6th street madness, but far enough to be quiet and serene. Easy parking, great launch pad for bicycle adventures, and close to the best food around (magnolia cafe). The electronic key code thing was convenient for our late check-in, and there was a bottle of malbec (special thank you) waiting for me on the counter. I am definitely staying here next trip. That bed is so comfy."
3988298,24504071,2014-12-29,390279,Betsy,"We stayed at Mireille's place for 7 nights.  The best part was how attentive she was to issues that arose with the refrigerator and the toilet, as well as our own emergency needs to add days to our stay.  She was really great!  I just knew everything would work out because she was at the helm.  The location was ideal for us.  The bed was heaven and the neighborhood quiet.  The heat works beautifully, and we were cozy.  The shower is not for everyone, as others have mentioned, it wobbles.  I stuck with bathing quickly instead.  The washer/dryer was handy.   You will be fine renting here as long as Mireille is in charge."
3988298,24745758,2015-01-02,24089854,Jim,"Our stay in this home was great!  It was clean, with everything we needed supplied...and the heater worked great. There was plenty of room for the three of us. The bottle of wine and Kit Kats Mireille left were just the beginning of our adventure. The house is located in the perfect location for a walk down 6th Street. There was plenty of street parking, and the neighborhood was quiet. Most of the comforts of home. Having a washer/dryer there was nice."
3988298,24989863,2015-01-04,25315764,Elizabeth,"Stay was great! Everything was exactly as described. Wonderful location, felt very safe the entire weekend. Thank you!"
3988298,25121338,2015-01-06,1833150,Nathan,"Perfect location, quiet but close to downtown. The place was perfect for a couple, it feels quite spacious. The king-size bed was very comfortable. A bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived was a nice touch."
3988298,25184804,2015-01-08,16785836,Suzanne,My experience was wonderful. The apartment was adorable and stocked with amenities. There were very clear instructions on how to leave the apartment which I really appreciated. All the communication was clear and my host was responsive and I would recommend staying here to anyone. It made our trip to Austin wonderful. It is in a charming neighborhood. 
3988298,25376669,2015-01-13,3141278,Matt,"Thanks to Mireille, we were able to spend an extra night after our plans had changed unexpectedly. We had been staying in the unit downstairs and when our plans abruptly changed she made this unit available to us at the drop of a hat.

It's a charming little apartment with a comfy bed, cute open kitchen/bar/livingroom and an old (but a bit rickety) clawfoot tub."
3988298,25451690,2015-01-16,15822707,Alison,"Great and convient location! Nice place, and the host was kind enough to leave out a welcoming bottle of wine and candies! Recommend it."
3988298,25541341,2015-01-19,23669119,Emily,Our time at the house was generally pretty good. Mireille was really good at responding and helping us out throughout the weekend. The house was pretty much what I had expected as well and is in a trendy and safe neighborhood. i would say the only negative was the lack of towels in the bathroom and towels and kitchenware for the kitchen. The place sleeps 6 however there were only 4 towels in the bathroom which was Interesting :) overall a good experience and anybody will enjoy the time at the house.
3988298,25691551,2015-01-23,9228124,Paul,"We had a very nice stay at Mireille's place in Austin. The location is in a very convenient spot in West Austin, just a few blocks from 6th & S. Lamar. Easy walk to shops, restaurants, Zilker Park, etc. And the place was quite clean and nice -- more than adequate for a couple -- with a combo kitchen/family room, large bedroom, and a bath that included a large washer and dryer (we've been traveling across the country, so we needed them!). Mireille was very responsive when we had a couple of questions, and in all, we had a very pleasant stay there. 

A nice bottle of red wine and some chocolates to welcome us, too. Very nice touch, we thought. "
3988298,26068335,2015-02-02,22300586,Bill,Everything was great.  Plenty of amenities were available.  The house was comfortable.  Great location.

3988298,26306066,2015-02-09,22175968,Annalynn,"Mireille was a great host and did such an awesome job with responding to emails so quickly. She left us wine and kit kats which was a great plus! 

We had 6 people in the apartment and it fit us comfortably. The house's location was prime especially because it was walking distance to everything and the neighborhood was very peaceful. We rented a car and there was plenty of spaces to park near the house. We enjoyed our stay at the apartment and would come back again."
3988298,26410377,2015-02-11,8067344,Joe,"Mireille has a great spot in a great area! Walking distance to Whole Foods and ACL area. In a safe and secure home, nicely finished unit, could not be beat for the price. All the amenities of home are present. Would love to come back for another stay soon! Thanks again."
3988298,26453774,2015-02-13,16664799,Brad,"Mireille was great about providing detailed instructions beforehand and was extremely helpful during our stay.

If you're visiting Austin, you need to check out this place. Super comfy and the location is perfect. Minutes away from a fantastic part of 6th street and everything you could need.

Definitely going to be heading back."
3988298,26586198,2015-02-16,3701842,Jennifer,This was the perfect place for a weekend in Austin--super close to everything but still quiet. Mireille left us some treats and a spotless place. Great for 3 people. 
3988298,26770160,2015-02-18,5929487,Sergey,"Great place, pretty quiet and walking distance to 6th Ave, lots of places in the neighborhood too.
The house is a little bit on the old side, but we had no complaints, all the features of the unit are great!"
3988298,26906404,2015-02-22,23903863,Chris,"This is my first time using airbnb and it was great!  The apartment was so nice, in a perfect location and Mireille was a lovely host.   She left us wine and chocolate on our arrival.  The experience could not have been better.   I would highly recommend this apartment to people traveling to Austin. "

3988298,27101008,2015-02-25,7015424,Jamie,"Mireille was a great host - check in and check out was extremely efficient and easy! She kept me completely updated on all things about my stay, which was fantastic. The apartment itself was very conveniently located and cozy. Overall, a great experience!"
3988298,27272126,2015-03-01,5126376,Kate,"We stayed at this wonderful Austin abode for 4 days. The neighbourhood is great- easy to walk into downtown Austin, plenty of great nearby restaurants and super close to Wholefoods! Mireille's place is spacious, clean and the bed is extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend to all! "
3988298,27382049,2015-03-02,15934913,Laurens,"Very quick service and nice apartment, exactly as described. Definitely recommend!"
3988298,27505036,2015-03-06,7240581,Beth,"We loved our stay!  The flat was well appointed and we had enough towels, very comfortable bed, good kitchen facilities. In addition we could walk (30 minutes) to convention center for our conference. Best of all, we discovered a Julian Gold women's clothing store 7 minutes away (move over Nordstrom's) and a fabulous restaurant Josie's Cafe (4 mintues by foot) where we enjoyed a gourmet meal. Since Happy Hour goes until 6 pm we ordered at $48 bottle of wine for $24. We used Uber a couple of times. We liked the low-key neigborhood and highly recommend this flat! "
3988298,27791125,2015-03-12,1721779,New,"Great location, just several blocks from Waterloo Records, book store, Whole Foods, restaurants and some other retailers. Very comfortable King size bed. Pull out in living room not as comfortable. Welcomed w bottle of wine and candy. Very clean and uncluttered. 
Appreciated coffee maker, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, washer, dryer.  
Situated next to an apt complex, other bungalow style homes, corner home very run down with lots of clutter on the lawn. Rest of homes attractive bungalows, well maintained. 

A little noisy from voices of people downstairs (I think).     
The tub did leak into unit downstairs when drained and there was no posted warning about that. "
3988298,27904829,2015-03-14,29001689,Jenna,We had a great time in Austin and the house was perfect! It was clean and spacious. I was nervous at first because I have never done airbnb before. But I had a great experience.
3988298,28104996,2015-03-17,341212,Eric,"Mireille was fantastic - super responsive - gracious in us arriving an hour early - I would HIGHLY recommend her cozy, clean and centrally-located apartment!"
3988298,28298342,2015-03-22,1582174,Julie,"Mireille's spot is great. We would have been lost without the whole foods nearby! Great for walking in to the main drag of Austin. The apartment is clean, quiet and near a really cute little strip of stores and restaurants including Third Man Records!"
3988298,28458704,2015-03-23,13143279,Mitchel,Nice place and neighborhood! 
3988298,28605583,2015-03-27,27000141,Sandra,This was my first time using airbnb and Mireille did a nice job of making me and my friends feel welcomed by leaving us a bottle of wine and some chocolates. She also left a binder with really helpful information on the living room table for us. Overall it was a nice first run with airbnb. 
3988298,28779729,2015-03-30,25811204,James,We had a very good experience. The house was very comfortable and clean. It was perfect for our plans.  It had everything we needed.  The bed was extremely comfortable.  It was quiet and peaceful.  We highly recommend.  And thanks to Mireille!

3988298,29814854,2015-04-13,5622372,April,"Mireille's home was great! It was clean and the bed was super comfortable. It's perfectly situated up a few blocks from Josies Cafe (which is awesome) and Clarks Oyster Bar. 

I came for work and found everything I needed and she was a lovely host. Responsive and helpful.

Thanks Mireille!"
3988298,30752062,2015-04-27,14337681,Jennifer,"What a cute little space! This was a perfect alternative to a hotel for a weekend in Austin. Close to wonderful shops, restaurants, and of course, Whole Foods. Thanks so much!"
3988298,31043184,2015-05-01,29003145,Henry,"Mireille was a great host and the place is clean and in an incredible location.
She was very responsive to all of my inquiries, and even mail me back some items that I have left behind!
Thank you again! "
3988298,31213529,2015-05-03,26709215,Thomas,"The absolute best part of the listing is the location. I am very familiar with Austin, and this spot is close to all the night life one would like but is quiet at night. I would describe it as a place to make base camp and relax. The unit is the upstairs section of a 2 story duplex, so the back yard is not really usable without disturbing the people renting the first floor. Small place but great location"
3988298,31588930,2015-05-07,30565466,Derek,Mireille was very accommodating. The property was beautiful and had tons of character. We would come back and stay again in a heart beat! 
3988298,31877352,2015-05-11,27556881,Brant,"Fantastic location close to everything downtown, nice little apartment. Mirielle was quick to respond and provided all the needed details to have a good weekend... including a bottle of wine! "
3988298,32097763,2015-05-13,5943385,Alexander,"Easy booking and unbeatable location for the price. Was no more than a mile or two from downtown and all the places we wanted to go on 6th street. Easy to make the walk.

As for the place itself, probably the most comfortable bed I've been in for a while. Nice amenities such as French Press and hot water maker. Shower was also very good.

Would definitely stay here again."
3988298,32647108,2015-05-19,11373972,Shae,Perfect location in Austin. We were in town for a bachelorette party and the  apartment was a great place for all of us to hang out and get ready for days/nights. The bed was extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets to sleep 5 individuals. The welcoming bottle of wine and treats was really a step above and contributed to the homely feel of the apartment. 
3988298,32800427,2015-05-21,33322902,Matt,"Our stay at Mireille's was wonderful.  My fiance and I were in town for wedding planning during the same week as the UT graduation/Memorial Day.  The hotels were completely booked, but luckily we found this spot downtown.  The apartment is exactly as advertised and was clean and ready upon our arrival.  Street parking was readily available.  The bed was very comfortable.  It would be crowded with 6 people but 4 would be comfortable.  It was a very easy walk to west 6th street and the multitude of restaurants and bars in the area.  I would definitely stay here again!"
3988298,32955521,2015-05-24,25495761,Lisa," We were able to reserve the upstairs and the downstairs at Mireille's for 4 days, and it worked out perfect for all of our family ! Loved the location ! As someone else mentioned , we received all necessary info about the front door access code well in advance, had no problem checking in! The combination of location, cleanliness, and price was excellent, and I would definitely stay here again. "
3988298,33899859,2015-06-02,21420125,Kathleen,"My husband and I just rented our first apartment while in Austin for our daughter's wedding. Mireille was great to work with as she was friendly, professional and prompt with communicating with us. Texts and calls were answered almost immediately. We really appreciated her professionalism.

The apartment had everything we needed (hair dryer, washer/dryer, oven, fridge...even an ironing board and iron)!  It was close to everything...Downtown 6th street and a fantastic oyster bar to name a few.  The apartment was clean and the bed sheets were oh-so-soft!  We had a great experience with Mireille and will go back to her when we are ready visit Austin again.
"
3988298,34365060,2015-06-07,33990428,Dixie,"This was a great little quaint place , a short walk to 6th street. Enjoyed my stay."
3988298,34853871,2015-06-13,153999,Rebecca,"The apartment was clean, spacious and well located.
Unfortunately while my friends and I were staying here there was work being done on the place and we went without hot water, which was fairly unpleasant! Mireille was lovely though, and very easy to communicate with—she replied promptly whenever we had issues and did her best to sort them out.
The beds are a bit creaky and I would probably suggest that cramming more than four people into the two rooms would be inadvisable, but we were fairly comfortable.
There is a washer and dryer, and an ironing board and iron, which was great! Also, the aircon was a godsend. We had a good stay overall."
3988298,38055211,2015-07-12,1748068,Tim,"The apartment had everything we needed. The check in process is the simplest I've ever done. There are a few places within walking distance such as a whole foods and amy's ice cream and a couple other restaurants nearby. If you plan on going to the ""dirty"" part of 6th street it's probably best to take an uber which isn't expensive at all."
3988298,38557589,2015-07-16,38051262,Desiree,Loved staying here. Very conveniently located. Easy to use uber and lyft to get around and Very close to  some very good restaurants. Stayed as a total of three girls very comfortably. Everything we could need was provided and the place was very cute and easy to get in and out. Great place to stay. 
3988298,39067267,2015-07-20,21126315,John,Perfect location for my short stay in Austin. Fit 4 people comfortably. Close to Whole foods.  
3988298,39460896,2015-07-23,514390,Austin,"Mirielle is a SUPER HOST. If she doesn't have the super host badge already, she should have it. The place was great, and the only thing it didn't have was super fast Internet. My business partner and I work in tech and needed the extra speed to get our work done, and Mirielle came through ASAP, calling the provider and upping the speeds by 20x! Would definitely recommend the place...cozy part of town and great host."
3988298,39940069,2015-07-27,33582111,Ryan,"Mireille was an excellent host.  She was very responsive to all of my questions and the apartment was as described.  Our group consisted on five people and we all slept comfortably (2 in the king sized bed, one on the futon, one on the sofa, and one on the air mattress).  Location was very convenient; short walk to West 6th street (many bars and restaurants).  Overall highly recommend."
3988298,41522427,2015-08-07,21851237,Jeff,"This was my second stay at Mireille's place and both have been great.  She is a very friendly, responsive and reliable hostess.  Pictures of the apartment are accurate.  This place has all the charm and character of an older building, but it has been nicely updated in key areas so you have modern amenities and fixtures.  Best of both old and new.  Everything was clean and functioned properly. Fantastic location.  I walked to breakfast and dinner daily. Zilker Park, Ladybird Lake, and W. 6th are also walking distance.  I've already come back once, and I'm sure I will repeat again. "
3988298,42953993,2015-08-16,30356473,Peter,Fantastic stay!  Quick walk to a number of great restaurants or a short ride to 6th street and Rainey street.  Slept 4 very comfortably!  Would definitely recommend to all and would stay again. 
3988298,43873375,2015-08-22,23411225,Jana,Perfect location to enjoy some fun in downtown Austin.  The house was exactly as expected and had a very comfortable bed and sofa!  Can't wait to come back for a longer stay! 
3988298,44412190,2015-08-26,33513918,Polly,"We felt very welcomed in the little apartment with little touches like tea, chocolate and a bottle of wine.  The apartment is bright and sunny and we appreciated being across the street from our kids and grandkids.  It's a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of many fun places."
3988298,45738226,2015-09-05,23956916,Stephanie,Ideal location! Walking distance to all the fun hotspots Round town. Parking was always available near the house too. Bed is super comfy. We had a situation the first night of our stay but Mireille was super cooperative and easily accessible. Would definitely stay again at any of her locations.
3988298,46754525,2015-09-13,41404443,Zack,"Great location, walkable to downtown. Spacious, airy accommodations. Thanks, Mireille!"
3988298,47413312,2015-09-18,32524330,Alex,Great flat in a useful location.  The host couldn't have been more helpful. The Queen room was perfect and the sofa double in the lounge was adequate.  We loved our stay in Austin- the flat made that easy. Thanks
3988298,47969261,2015-09-22,38110601,John,Great communication with Mireille prior to the visit. The room was definitely better than hotel. Great location to many great parts of Austin and a very nice Whole Foods. The Chocolate was a nice treat that was left for us. I recommend staying here and getting away from the touristy hotels.
3988298,49267382,2015-10-02,44671143,Catherine,Great location and space for two of us. Nice quiet place but still close to town. It was sweet of Mireille to leave chocolates for our arrival.
3988298,50450600,2015-10-12,12088825,Katie,"Mireille's place was great! It was a very central location in walking distance to a lot of bars and restaurants, and perfect for a weekend at ACL with a group. "

3988298,52470723,2015-10-29,1931803,Bobby,"Had a nice stay at Mireille's house, in the upstairs unit. House is as described and had no troubles during our stay. Great location near downtown and whole foods. Mireille was very helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again!"
3988298,53153025,2015-11-05,1551638,Massimiliano,Spacious one bedroom apartment about 25 minutes' walk from downtown. Everything you need is provided. The apartment was clean and the host was helpful. Highly recommended.
4365483,27950164,2015-03-15,1559621,Steve,"Good stay for SXSW or for exploring East Austin. Simple room with a bed/futon, sink, air conditioning, and lots of great posters on the walls. Shared bathrooms are just down the hallway as well as kitchen and access to coin-op laundry. Caitlin made checking in/out super easy, and was quick to respond with any needed information (wifi password etc). "
4365483,28123259,2015-03-18,17408422,Usha,"Great resident and responsive by text for any questions while I stay. The studio is above a bar that plays loud rock music, but Caitlin informed me  of this immediately after I booked, so I could have canceled if I wanted."
753837,2920170,2012-11-19,1563507,Kiriath,"Adorable 1-bedroom home in trendy east Austin. Didn;t end up catching the train (which is very close) but caught 2 different buses into town, both stops only a couple of minutes away from the house. Hiring bikes is the best way to get around though!
Catherine was lovely and very welcoming - and the house just beautifully decorated. A great, roomy space for 2. "
753837,3779289,2013-03-14,4315716,Jeff,"Catherine is really friendly and helpful, and her house is clean, cute and pleasant to stay in. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the house to others as a great alternative to an expensive hotel if you need access to downtown but don't need to sleep in the downtown core.

The transit is nearby, which is great, but it's good to know that it doesn't run on Sundays and has an afternoon schedule only on Saturdays.

The house is very close to downtown by car/transit (10 minutes). Not really anywhere you'd want to walk to in the neighbourhood itself though."
753837,7935611,2013-10-08,5593146,Sara,"Catherine was a great host & her house was perfect for our ACL weekend. The location was nice because there was no traffic, she offered her bikes & suggestions for transportation (take the metro rail when you can!) & eateries, etc. The ""neighborhood in transition"" is great. Her bedroom has a full bed, so don't worry that it looks small in the photo. Communication was speedy & information both on airbnb & after booking. SO glad that this worked out. Thanks Catherine!"
753837,8779823,2013-11-18,2919080,Kim,"The house was wonderful - I felt as if I was living in an interior decorator's house.  It was also close to downtown Austin, so that made all trips there short.  I would recommend this house to anyone."
753837,10263945,2014-02-10,5135733,Shannon,"Catherine's home was just perfect. It was close by our friends and all of the best restaurants/coffee shops we frequented so it was super convenient. The house is so well decorated, clean, and comfortable and Catherine was a flexible and helpful host. Highly recommend her place to anyone staying in Austin! "
753837,10904508,2014-03-12,11900010,Brian,Catherine's house was perfect for our trip to SXSW.  The house is great and is very close to the metro rail to conveniently get downtown.  I would recommend this house to anyone.
753837,13396226,2014-05-26,14052355,Stephanie,"Catherine was an amazing host, and super accommodating. We only spoke via phone, but she was extremely friendly and really down to earth. She let us stay at her house, accepting our reservation hours before we were supposed to arrive, and her place was immaculate....even with the last minute reservation. The decorations reminded my husband and I of our own apartment in Brooklyn, NY. Overall, I can't say enough good things. We would love to stay at Catherine's house again in the future. "
753837,15324900,2014-07-07,15832793,Lori,"Catherine's place is most excellent for anyone coming to visit Austin! My parents came to town for 4th of July weekend and absolutely enjoyed their ""home away home"". I would recommend Catherine's lovely spot for a weekend getaway in a true Austin-y home, conveniently located on the east side and close to many hot spots in town including Manor Rd. and East 11th St restaurant districts. Thank you Catherine!  "
753837,18503540,2014-08-27,2834313,John,"Catherine was a generous and wonderful host, even giving us a ride around to show us the local cafes, spots to eat, and pubs. Her place is beautiful and was perfect for a stay in Austin. Catherine is an exemplary member of airbnb, and in my opinion, what makes airbnb special!"
753837,21213786,2014-10-13,19204666,Ana Maria,"We had a really nice stay in Wast Austin.  Catherine made us feel welcome, but was not at all intrusive.  The house is quite new, very clean, and super fab!  It's on the smaller side, but there is plenty of room for 2-3 people.  The house sits on a quiet street.  Catherine made sure we had everything we needed, including fresh towels and toiletries. Wifi was good, and there was a television with in the comfy sitting room.  The motif is very new, fresh, and bohemian.  We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!  Highly recommended!"
753837,21339208,2014-10-15,20240445,Robyn,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was great! The house is just perfect - comfortable, centrally located, beautifully decorated, amazing outdoor space. Catherine was easy to work with and left us a cupcake; who doesn't love a cupcake?! Thanks again for the great stay."
753837,22360684,2014-11-04,11390893,Kris,Had a great stay at Catherine's place in east Austin. Super easy to communicate with her and her home is pretty conveniently located a mile or two from downtown - longish walking distance if you're up for it.  Catherine also made sure the place was well organized and we had what we needed for the stay. Very accommodating!  Would highly recommend her place!
753837,27385818,2015-03-03,4647491,Karen,"Catherine was great.  We were in touch via email prior to our arrival.  Her home is lovely and just as advertised.  It was so comfortable and well decorated.  There was plenty of room for two.  We were visiting our daughter, so we didn't cook in, but the kitchen was nicely equipped and we easily could have.  The bed was very comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet. This house is very centrally located and an easy drive to anywhere and also the train is right nearby.  We would stay here again in a flash.  Thank you for sharing your home with us."
753837,32648033,2015-05-19,22352945,Carrie,"Catherine was an amazing host! We had everything we needed for our stay. Her home was very clean and the decor was beautiful. We felt very comfortable. She sent us some great recommendations for local restaurants and bars. She was also in communication with us via text if we had any issues or questions. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Catherine!!!"
753837,37400854,2015-07-06,36885759,Gabie,"Catherine was a wonderful host! She was readily available and so pleasant to work with. Her home is beautiful, clean and comfortable, with lots of trendy details that made it feel special and plenty of room for two or three people. The location is fantastic, with a coffee shop nearby that we adored. I would absolutely stay here again!"
753837,40055488,2015-07-27,3027716,Charlie,Check in was a breeze at this awesome 2 story house with a yard. The location couldn't be better if you are looking for an authentic Austin experience. All the best attractions are just minutes from your door by car bike or on foot. 
753837,46219549,2015-09-08,6311596,Lisa,"Jon and I had a lovely stay at Catherine's home. It was very comfortable and clean and the location is pretty good. Loved Catherine's choice of decor - gave me some ideas for my own place!
We decided to go to Austin last minute and Catherine was prompt in letting us know if her home was available.
There some great eating places close by too (have brunch at Eastside Cafe!)
Will definitely stay here again the next time we're in Austin!"
6935687,49628071,2015-10-05,16857369,Emily,"What a find! We loved staying here. Exactly as pictured and described in the listing, this house is cozy and comfortable. It's on a quiet residential street, but within walking distance of a lot of action. Every morning we had coffee out on the back patio, watching the birds and squirrels. We used the bed and pull-out couch for sleeping - both comfortable. And Gail very kindly left us snacks and coffee/tea - we felt very taken care of. "
6935687,50621266,2015-10-13,36710960,Cindy,"This was a perfect location for our Austin City Limits weekend. The house was clean and comfortable. Gail and her husband were great hosts.
The only down side - the bed is only a full sized bed - perfect for snuggling, but not so perfect for a 6'4"" guy with his feet hanging over the edge!  :)"
1737139,7905682,2013-10-07,9171938,Hilda,"What great hosts! And such a comfortable stay! This inviting home is a leisurely walk (through a safe neighborhood) to and from Zilker Park and the ACL Festival, not to mention great restaurants, beautiful trails, and the Barton Springs pool -- landmarks at every turn. Our hosts made sure we had easy access to clean bedrooms and bathroom and all the comforts of home, including a safe place to park our car. They even gave us rides to and from the festival -- curbside service from friendly folks. This place will be our first call when we return to Austin."
1737139,8550986,2013-11-04,9680892,Greg,"Very accommodating host and facilities.  Comfortable, clean, complete with all the expected amenities, as well as some nice unexpected treats.  Very user friendly, private, casual atmosphere and great location.  Will definitely return when visiting Austin and would recommend to anyone.  Thank you so much Michael & Luz - Your place was great all the way around."
1737139,9195929,2013-12-12,418968,Rebekah,"It was a wonderful time in the city again. Christmas approaching and people all over the town. As always, coming from Marfa, took advantage of all the god food, especially all the new ramen in town, and ate our toosh's off. Good trip for sure!
Michael and Luz's house is AMAZING! I love the location by Zilker park, South Lamar and South Congress! I felt like I was in a small treehouse there; it was wonderful. They were exceptionally accommodating and gracious hosts and had all the necessary goods for a nice and comfortable stay! "
1737139,10272863,2014-02-10,1740362,Ingrid,"Our weeklong stay with Michael and Luz could not have been better!  The private suite was perfect, with comfortable beds, a fridge and coffeemaker, a living room, bathroom, and private patio in addition to the spacious bedroom.  The location is incredible: within walking distance of Barton Springs pool (outdoor swimming in February!) and very close to downtown Austin. Michael and Luz are charming and gracious hosts and made sure we had everything we needed without being at all intrusive.  They are also extremely knowledgeable about Austin culture, music, geography, etc., and were happy to share their knowledge.  Overall, a great experience!"
1737139,10776522,2014-03-07,184638,Kristy,"Michael and Luz were lovely.  We discovered that we had mutual friends in Austin; which was a funny coincidence.  
The suite is very comfortable and clean.  Both bedrooms are nice and roomy; there were two of us and we had plenty of room to spread out.  The house is in a great neighborhood - quiet and yet close to everything. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
1737139,10840354,2014-03-10,10257662,Devren,"Great stay in Austin!  Luz and Michael were fantastic hosts, and little  treats like fruit, coffee and muffins made us feel right at home.  We loved the location and found it easy to get to downtown and to Zilker park.  "

1737139,11495821,2014-04-05,13370861,Angie,"The Guest Suite was exactly what I had hoped for...private, quite and my own little patch of sun on the patio.  Michael and Luz were really helpful in suggesting music and food, they even taught me to Texas 2-step (or tried anyway).  I rented a bike,  used to car2go and the bus -- all were easy and convenient.  "
1737139,11606769,2014-04-08,13855397,Trevor,Awesome place and host. Highly recommend staying here. 
1737139,11877548,2014-04-17,6188092,Gabriela,"The place was great - very clean, quiet and with everything needed for a pleasant stay. "
1737139,11909658,2014-04-18,13798518,Uvaldo,Michael was the most gracious host!  Thanks for making our stay comfortable and relaxing.  Will definitely be back! :)
1737139,11969990,2014-04-20,11077872,Vivian,"Michael and Luz were the most gracious hosts. They were incredibly friendly, and even invited us to try their homemade paella dinner. Their place is great, and extremely clean and central to everything in Austin. The place is plenty spacious and everything we needed for a weekend getaway. "
1737139,12560013,2014-05-05,5054938,Kirsten,"Lovely spot close to most parts of town. Michael and Luz are the friendliest hosts ever! Loved staying here; very clean, easy communication, close in and a great value. Can't recommend it enough!"
1737139,12622107,2014-05-06,10270586,Michelle,"We really enjoyed our stay at Michael and Luz's home.  My husband and I needed a quiet getaway for a night away from our wild and crazy kids :), and this was a great place to do that!  The location was wonderful--everything we wanted to do in Austin was just a few minutes away.  Everything in the suite was neat and clean and comfortable.  We recommend them to anyone wanting a great place to stay!"
1737139,12865606,2014-05-12,979130,Jenny,"Luz and Michael's suite was the perfect setting within the heart of Austin, close to everything a visitor would love to see - but tucked in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood - which made for the perfect retreat at the end of the day.  Michael was a wonderful host, always accommodating and available for questions - he even met us at our car upon a post-midnight arrival to help with our bags :) This is a comfy, cozy, clean, and convenient suite.  I will certainly be in touch with them again as I work in Austin frequently."
1737139,13082743,2014-05-19,13935241,Michelle,"Great weekend! While we were waiting for a cab (that never showed up), Michael offered to drive us to our destination! We had a great time. The location is perfect for walking to Barton Springs Pool and Zilker Park. "
1737139,13707796,2014-06-02,15820874,Paige,Very welcoming and friendly! The rooms were clean and Michael was only a text away if we needed anything. I have to give a shout out about the bed in this place: A-MAZING! You will not want to get up from it in the morning. 
1737139,13925030,2014-06-08,10693656,C.J.,Michael and Luz were great!  Very accommodating.  It's a close distance to everything. I would definitely stay there again. 
1737139,13992415,2014-06-09,16115644,Rozanna,"The listing was perfect and in a great part of town. We had a long conference to attend over the weekend and for me, the BEST part was the stay at Michael and Luz's place.  Very caring and attentive hosts. The place was fabulous, clean, accessible, with a private entrance.  You cannot go wrong staying here.  They are great ambassadors for Austin.  "
1737139,14310144,2014-06-16,979130,Jenny,"I'm a repeat visitor to Michael and Luz's place- and it will always be my first choice when hunting a spot in Austin! Michael is so kind and accommodating, and the suite is comfy and perfect. "
1737139,15075043,2014-07-01,14655814,Cheryl,Everything was (email hidden)ce location and great family!
1737139,15240816,2014-07-05,15242583,Jonnyka,"Michael & Luz were absolutely wonderful hosts! Michael was so knowledgeable about the city and shared much info with us. The property was quiet and felt like a little retreat space but was very close to restaurants, bars, etc. We really enjoyed our stay!"
1737139,15416404,2014-07-08,622417,Chris,"My friends and I had a fantastic time staying at Michael and Luz's home. Michael was quick and helpful in all communications and made some great recommendations that we really enjoyed.

There's lots more I wanted to check out nearby, and I would love to stay here again. Thanks so much!!"
1737139,17360943,2014-08-11,2414336,Anne,"We stayed at Michael's and Luz' place for ten days. We had a great time with a wonderful host. The location is just as advertised, the apt is very clean, and Michael catered to all our needs. We will stay here again!"
1737139,17865814,2014-08-18,16688113,Erin,"This was the perfect place to stay on our weekend trip to Austin! The place was cozy and quiet, and it felt like home. Location was great - close to anywhere we needed to go. Michael was also very nice and very helpful. I wish we had had more time to explore the area. We would definitely stay here again in the future! "
1737139,18045409,2014-08-20,17288653,James,"Outstanding location, outstanding place, and outstanding hosting.  We stayed only one night, but it was perfect and easy the entire time.  Thanks Michael."
1737139,18278790,2014-08-24,247816,Susan,The hosts were nice and welcoming.  The space was clean and nice and the neighborhood was great.  
1737139,18918389,2014-09-02,5678596,Joe,"We stayed at Michael's and Luz' place for six days for a long holiday weekend. We rented a car and had our own parking spot without a hassle, so that was a plus because we drove in and out all the time to explore the surrounding outdoor attractions like Enchanted Rock, Westcave Reserve, Westcave Winery, San Marcos Shanty Tubes, Jacob's Well and the Greenbelt. During our stay we also ventured downtown to Rainey district, and of course, both West 6th and Dirty 6th bars downtown which are only within 5 minutes driving distance. We made sure to also swim at the Barton Springs Pool which is only a few blocks walking distance. Upon arriving we were welcome by Michael and knew he'd be available if we needed anything. Unfortunately, we didn't interact much with Michael but he seemed like a cool, interesting and genuinely nice person. The apartment itself was very clean, accessible, and had all the amenities we needed to rest peacefully in between our adventures. The neighborhood was very ""green"" and quiet. I used to live in Austin and Barton Hills has always had a good reputation as a neighborhood. Overall we had a nice experience and would stay with Michael and Luz in the future."
1737139,19249625,2014-09-08,7030833,Mario,"Michael and Luz are personable.  They are Texas friendly with international flair.  The suite was clean, easy to get a good night's sleep.  My friends and I had a good experience staying here during our weekend getaway. "
1737139,19684587,2014-09-16,19804435,Joseph,"Michael (we didn't get a chance to meet Luz) greeted us when we arrived and showed us the rooms.  He is a great host and had a lot to share about Austin.  
The set up is great.  There is a sitting room with a futon. There is a separate bedroom with a very comfortable king size bed (TV in bedroom).  The bathroom (and entire space) was very clean.  While there is no way to control the temperature of the space we were very comfortable.
This South Austin neighborhood is very residential and you need a car to get around.  Getting to downtown Austin and the South Congress area in South Austin is very easy (10-15 minutes approx).  The University of Texas is north of downtown so that takes an extra 10 minutes approx.
Accessing the unit is easy.  There is a lighted path that takes you to the spaces separate entrance which is in the back of the house.
There is also off street parking for one car.
"
1737139,20022625,2014-09-22,3102836,Joseph,Everything was perfect. Michael and Luz made our trip stay very simple with no hassles. Just like we wanted it. 
1737139,20810545,2014-10-06,5098732,Lea,"Michael was a very welcoming host. He met us when we arrived and showed us around his property. A lighted path leads through the beautiful yard to the  private entrance of the guest suite at the rear of the home. The suite was very clean and comfortable. Michael provided bottled water, muffins and delicious coffee. He was even gracious enough to give us a ride to Zilker Park where ACL was being held. We had a very pleasant stay."
1737139,21192831,2014-10-13,3962250,Tiffany,Michael was a great host.  Great space within 1 mile of zilker park for ACL.  Very clean and updated.  Accomodated last minute added guests.  Will definitely back!
1737139,21393617,2014-10-16,3555503,Florian,"Mike and Luz were charming hosts, being well travelled they were full of helpful advice for travellers. The place us tidy and quiet, with a nice little terrace. It's also quite central, a drive to a restaurant downtown only took 15 minutes. Definetely to be recommended!"
1737139,21579749,2014-10-20,8998061,Melisa,"This was our second stay with Michael and Luz and we will do it again for the LiveSTRONG ride next year, maybe sooner.  The property is so quite and the birds are amazing.  Michael and Luz are natural and wonderful hosts allowing privacy for their guests.  The suite is a perfect size, very clean and complimented with very nice amenities such as French roast coffee, tea, granola bars, refrigerator and more.  We enjoyed wine out on the terrace and had breakfast in the back patio which truly is a very private suite.  They are both encyclopedia's of information and have a pulse on EVERYTHING in Austin.  "
1737139,21817290,2014-10-24,17578104,Erin Marie,"Michael and Luz were very welcoming, and the private guest area was very clean and fresh! We loved it!. There was a private entrance and patio space, and we felt welcome to come and go as we pleased.  Perfect location... and We would definitely stay here again!!! Thank you both!"
1737139,22861426,2014-11-16,23387108,Mario,Great stay. Comfortable bedroom and home. Michael was really nice and welcoming. Close to downtown Austin. Nice neighborhood.
1737139,25197515,2015-01-09,214276,Linda And John,"This was one of our great Airbnb experiences. We spent 4 nights at Michael and Luz's house, in Austin for Cyclocross (a form of bicycle racing) nationals. The location was convenient to Zilker Park and also some great restaurants, and we loved the house. Our own private suite had everything we needed. The international tour books were a lot of fun to browse. The added treat was getting to socialize with Michael and Luz and some of their very interesting friends. "
1737139,25726697,2015-01-24,3628349,George,"This was a last minute booking for a job I had in Austin. I couldn't be happier.  The neighborhood is quiet.  The room is spacious.  Michael was very quick with responses. Michael and Luz were able to accommodate my late check in as I drive in and went straight to work.  The bed is comfortable and he place was very clean. I would stay here again.  In fact, I've already booked my next stay with them!  "
1737139,25978593,2015-01-31,3628349,George,This was my second stay with Michael and Luz. It was great!  I had a chance to meet Michael. He was super pleasant.  I enjoyed our conversation.  I would def stay here again.  
1737139,26647797,2015-02-16,27384088,Dany,"Michael was fantastic and was very helpful in some last minute changes.  The location is perfect for exploring and then jumping into a beautiful natural spring-fed pool right after! Everything was so close and walkable, but yet you felt like you were away from the city life and enjoying the outdoors with Barton Springs and Zilker Park so close by.

Place was very clean, and omg the towels... The Towels! Softest...

Thanks for the wonderful stay :)"
1737139,27052480,2015-02-24,13001159,Ekaterina,"Michael reached out to me in the morning letting me know how to find the key to the suite. When we arrived to the suite late at night, we found it to be prepared as a high class hotel with extra pillows, towels, and basic toiletteries. The place was very clean and comfortable: two rooms are completely private and shower is in the area between the rooms. This was good because my friends and my husband and I didn't have the same internal clock / schedule.
Even though the listing lists two double beds and one queen, the double beds seemed fairly large, they are futon beds and we found them to be very comfortable.
The place is located in a really great neighborhood and is only ~20 min walk to Barton Springs. The neighborhood is really quiet with trees everywhere, however, it's also a short ride (car or bike) to Lamar and downtown and some nice restaurants are a walk away.
Michael dropped by the next day to welcome us and to check if we needed anything. As our luggage had gotten lost, he offered us some swimming wear so that we could catch a swim at the Barton Springs! That was so nice of him!
If you are in Austin and looking for a quiet and comfortable place that's close to everything, you should stay here :)"
1737139,27783699,2015-03-11,18823813,Sven,"Staying with Michael and Luz was great. We really couldn't be happier with the experience. The place is clean, spacious and very well equipped and they were friendly and helpful hosts. It's a great location, close to the city but quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommended!"
1737139,27990254,2015-03-16,3128739,Rafael,"Comfortable and in a very peaceful neighbourhood.

Had to walk a bit to get to stores or restaurants but if you have a car or don't mind using Taxis or Uber, that's not a problem.

Pictures and description are very precise and Michael was cool and easy to communicate."
1737139,28518451,2015-03-25,26927453,Karina,"Micheal was very welcoming. The space is beautiful and clean, as well as comfortable. The best location in town!"
1737139,28682415,2015-03-28,10661348,Megan,Wonderful place! The location was great and the home was beautiful. Michael and Luz were really great hosts. 
1737139,28814270,2015-03-30,28830521,Marcia,"Michael and Luz were fabulous hosts. They communicated with us prior to arrival and even though we got there a little on the early side they made us feel very welcome. The location was great! When we first arrived we thought we were stuck in suburbia, but after one outing into Austin we realized how close we were to everything. Their home is literally just a few minutes from Downtown in one direction, SoCo in the other direction, and walking distance to Zilker Park. We enjoyed it all!
Since this was our first visit to Austin, our hosts suggested several places to eat and/or see too get the true feel of Austin. All of their recommendations were great!
The private suite in their home was very comfortable and clean and we throughly enjoyed our stay."
1737139,29152758,2015-04-04,23678322,Robert,Great hosts!
1737139,29538109,2015-04-08,3394714,Elise,"Michael was great, totally accommodating and kind! The place was excellent! Clean, cute, comfortable and great location.
I would stay here again! Thank you Michael!"
1737139,29743575,2015-04-12,2994879,Benjamin,Michael's guest house was wonderful! A great location with a truly nice host. It was perfect for us to head into downtown or go hiking around barton springs. Thank you again for such a wonderful time Michael and Luz! We'd come back again in a heart beat.
1737139,30077232,2015-04-17,10624670,Joy,I really enjoyed my stay.  Great spot.  Michael was a wonderful host with good recommendations.  I've already booked to stay again on a future trip to Austin.
1737139,30343225,2015-04-20,30379615,Evan,Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while in Austin. They were perfect hosts who thought of everything possible to make our stay great. Super close to everything fun in Austin.
1737139,30915725,2015-04-28,21400460,Drew,My stay at Michael & Luz's place was pleasant and convenient - just right.  The place is in a great location and there is plenty of space.  I am glad I was able to meet Michael b/c he is a hospitable and very friendly host.  I hope to stay there again soon.
1737139,31360884,2015-05-04,26763479,Judy,"We felt well-received. The ad was perfect for the place. Two tv's were great. The privacy, the gardens, the location, We felt the two bedrooms were perfect for me and my daughter."
1737139,31709449,2015-05-09,3183798,Bobmond,"Communication was excellent; we had little issue setting times for check-in/check-out. He was honest about what the space had to offer. We both knew the space would be tight with the six adults in my party; looking back, the space is probably optimal for four adults and two kids. 

That being said, the suite was great. The home itself is located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking. Access to Mopac was easy. Lady Bird Lake, Zilker, and Barton Springs are all within a 15-30 minute walk. The space was stocked with amenities - water, coffee, towels, wifi, some snacks, interesting books (the jazz ones piqued me) - and very clean. Even though the suite shares a wall with Michael's main house, I didn't hear anything coming from next door. 

Thanks for having us.
"
1737139,32098812,2015-05-13,8818268,Lisa,"Michael and Luz's place was perfect for our stay . It's location was so convenient to the many restaurants, food trucks, coffee shops and parks located in the area. Thanks to Michael's ""black book"", as my daughter referred to it, we ate at a different establishment every day and knew all the best places to visit . The private two room suite and bath gave us so much more room than any hotel, and the kitchenette was just enough. We loved it so much we even extended our visit. "
1737139,32830280,2015-05-22,10624670,Joy,"This is my second stay at Michael and Luz's place.  I come to Austin often for work and this is one of my favorite places to stay.  Comfortable, convenient, safe.  Perfect for me!"
1737139,32997749,2015-05-24,31722595,Alexis,"Our host was very welcoming.  Prior to arrival, we were in contact regarding arrival time and he was very flexible.  Upon arrival he greeted us, showed us around and was very hospitable throughout our stay. The listing is just as it appears in the pictures.  In Austin for my son's UT graduation, it accommodated 5 of us comfortably.  The neighborhood is hilly and quiet, but is just minutes away from downtown Austin and surrounding areas.  The suite is tucked away on a lot with dense and lovely foliage.  You feel like you're in a forest, not a big busy city.  We would definitely stay here again."
1737139,33345307,2015-05-26,155301,Blake,"Perfect! Michael was super welcoming and I felt right at home, but had plenty of space to myself. It's a great little suite with everything I needed for a few days, and I love being so close to the park. "
1737139,34386434,2015-06-07,18382700,Amber,"This location is ideal for those who want to play at Barton Springs and Zilker Park, and is also an easy drive to downTown. The home is tucked away in a comfortable neighborhood and seems to blend into the natural greenery. The inside of the home is cozy, and one unexpected perk is perusing through all the Latin American literary treasures on the front room's bookshelves. Mike and Luz are very cordial, considerate hosts, and are happy to suggest local eateries, music venues, etc. We only wish we could have stayed a little longer, and definitely plan to stay here (if they'll allow us) on our next visit to Austin! "
1737139,34677412,2015-06-10,12969936,Liz,"Michael was very accommodating. Although we arrived very late, he was still able to tour us around the place and get us settled in. Michael provided us with some coffee, water, and some snacks as well. The location of the place is very ideal. Very close from Downtown. "
1737139,35529472,2015-06-19,27849736,Chris,Michael and Luz have great home in my favorite Austin neighborhood. They were very accommodating hosts and the unit left nothing to be desired. I plan to make this my launching pad for fun in Austin every time I visit.
1737139,37246308,2015-07-05,22886915,Happy,Michael and Luz were great hosts. The property was clean and quaint! Would definitely stay again.
1737139,37806494,2015-07-10,4212562,Rachel,"My husband and I stayed at Michael and Luz's private suite for three  nights in Austin and had such a wonderful time! It was a great location, quiet neighborhood but easy access to basically everything, the suite was clean, inviting, and comfortable, and Michael was a generous and kind host. We didn't get to meet Luz, but Michael gave us great recommendations on food and outings, let us know that Barton Springs Pool (which is a walk away from their place) was free after 9pm, was considerate by letting us know he was having a birthday party at their house that would be a little loud but wouldn't go late – and even invited us to join in and have drinks at his party! We were worn out from the sun and exploring the city, but he was so kind to invite us. The suite had everything we needed an then some – space, coffee, some snacks, soft linens, a comfortable bed and couches. No complaints whatsoever. We will definitely try to stay with them again next time we're in Austin! "
1737139,43006253,2015-08-16,17893159,Brody,"Michael was a very welcoming and easy going host. He was happy to provide suggestions for the weekend and was very flexible with our arrival and departure times. This property is just as it appears in the photos and the home is located in a quiet and quant neighborhood within walking distance to Barton Springs, Zilker Park and even Townlake. Just a quick uber/lyft from South Congress and downtown. There were a few subtle amenities that made this a great weekend rental. The small fridge was stocked with water and there were breakfast bars, coffee and tea which were convenient. Also, there were plenty of extra bath towels as well as beach towels which were great for our visits to Barton Springs. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet property that is close to the best areas of South Austin, this is a great option. 

I was slightly hesitant to rent a space that was connected to the main house (as opposed to a free standing quest house) but there was as much privacy as desired and even a private side entry to the space. 

Happy traveling!"
1737139,45022280,2015-08-30,496645,Angela,"Micheal & Luz's private suite was the perfect place to stay for my mini get away. I booked the suite with 4 girls, a 5th decided to join the trip and Michael was able to accommodate us within such a short notice. I did not have any issues getting in contact with Michael. Communication between us was great. There were enough beds and space for us girls.  The place was clean and comfortable. Coffee and snacks were provided! Very close to all the hot spots and restaurants in Austin. If you're wanting to take a dip into Barton Springs it's literally around the corner. I highly recommend this place if visiting Austin!!  "
1737139,46003788,2015-09-07,7883993,Tammy,"Private, clean, and super close to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and all the fun around there!"
1737139,48606663,2015-09-27,16905889,Andrea,"Lovely spot! Hope to stay again :) Loved walking to Barton Springs, and having a private sanctuary to return to. The bed is really comfy and the place is quiet and in a safe spot, everything is exactly as stated in the ad and Michael was really nice and fun to talk to the few times we ran into each other."
1737139,49587501,2015-10-05,6292412,Fabian,"Great house in a la excellent location. Michael was a great host. Always asking if we needed anything. His house is cozy and you have everything you need. Location is the best. If you are planning to go to ACL, this is the perfect option. 
Thank you Michael. Looking forward for next year's ACL!"
1737139,50264973,2015-10-11,1553343,Curtis,Our group of 6 stayed here for ACL and it was great! This little gem is within walking distance of Zilker park and Barton Springs! The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe even later in the night (we walked back from ACL all 3 nights after 10:30 PM). Michael is a great host and very accommodating to our needs. If you are planning a trip to Austin this is the place to stay!
1737139,51342336,2015-10-19,24981942,Greg,"We really enjoyed our stay at Michael and Luz' suite. Michael was especially friendly and helpful, giving us recommendations for live music in the area and even letting us use his printer. The place is about a 15 minute walk to the gorgeous pool at Barton Springs. Highly recommended!"
1737139,51936022,2015-10-25,45001410,Beth,The place was very clean and comfortable. More like  a home  away from home. I was able to rest very comfortable and in a quiet neighborhood.  Very accommodating and would stay there again for sure.
1737139,52231451,2015-10-27,2184050,Sophie,"This is a beautiful guest house in an amazing neighbourhood, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to my friends and family when they visit. I rented this space for my Dad who was visiting from the UK for the F1 race, and he said that it was an extremely comfortable and enjoyable stay. He slept well and really enjoyed the peace and quiet of the location. Although I didn't meet Michael and Luz myself during the stay, they were great at communicating and flexible about arrival time which was really helpful. Overall a great option for anyone wanting to be near Zilker and have a peaceful place to retreat to after a day of Austin's craziness. "
1737139,52628151,2015-10-31,10349777,Anaí,"I traveled to Austin on a business trip and Luz & Michael's place was great. The place itself is incredibly well situated with plenty near by. The suite was spacious, clean and incredibly comfortable. My flight was cancelled due to weather in the area and I wasn't able to catch a flight back home for 2 days. I contacted Michael and Luz about extending my stay but they had other guests arriving that day from over seas. They told me not to worry and found me a place to stay near by. They definitely went above and beyond and I truly appreciate the effort. I highly recommend this spot for your trip to Austin."
1737139,52803409,2015-11-01,20430807,Tiana,"Michael and Luz are the most welcoming and warm couple you could hope for. The place is clean, comfortable and felt like home. Thank you so much!"
4555867,23133694,2014-11-23,23393075,Elliott,"Blaine's place was comfortable, private, convenient and clean.  Overall a very nice place to stay for a weekend, and the views out the back onto the little greenbelt are pretty serene and relaxing.  Blaine was very nice, offering to help with anything we needed.  Once we figured out how to work the Playstation, it was very convenient to have Netflix access for the slow times."
4555867,23231774,2014-11-25,7308371,Daisy,"Blaine's place was beautiful. He was super helpful and even brought a bike that my husband could use to ride. The place was tidy, clean, and super pet friendly. Diego, our 1 year old bulldog, loved it! If we are ever in Austin again we definitely plan to come back. "
4555867,23261927,2014-11-26,23418792,Elizabeth Anne,Great spacious house. Amazing coffee from a French press. Bath tub was a little older. House decorated nice.
4555867,23591461,2014-12-05,17926092,Gregory E,"Excellent, styling little house, exceeded my expectations. Plenty of room to spread out and it was very clean and in great shape. The kitchen is perfect to cook in and the back patio was great to chill on with snacks or coffee/tea. The location was fine for us as we had a car. Bikers and busers should have no problem getting to some good places. "
4555867,23780921,2014-12-09,19692889,Joanna,"Great experience! The house has everything you need and more. Super comfy bed, minimal but tasteful decor, full kitchen and bathroom complete with claw foot tub and prefect tile. Blaine was a dream host, caring attentive cooperative and not even the slightest bit encroaching. Will stay again "
4555867,23917996,2014-12-14,8032078,Jenna,The house was everything we needed it to be. Super cute and really clean. Blaine was very helpful and welcoming. Will most definitely be returning.
4555867,23983323,2014-12-15,205412,Meg,"The house is absolutely wonderful! Easy and fast communications. If you are sensitive to noise, however, the buses driving by and VERY loud planes flying overhead would be bad."
4555867,24018345,2014-12-16,1895632,Matt,Blaine's house was great and he was extremely attentive. Would definitely stay again.
4555867,24067762,2014-12-18,10664146,Kyle,"Our host was very helpful and made himself available for any help or questions. We loved the place! It was very comfortable and well-decorated. The bed was incredible, too. The neighborhood is a little out of the way, but the bus runs right through so that helps. Overall, we loved our experience."
4555867,24097991,2014-12-19,946603,Matt,"Great spot. Easy. The value was wonderful. $20 cab ride to 6th street. If you looking for a space to crash, this is pretty good."
4555867,24114294,2014-12-20,3588559,Matt,Good stuff. 
4555867,24171161,2014-12-21,25028565,Jeffrey,"It is a very nice place, very comfortable and clean. I recommend this place to anyone looking to have a fun stay in Austin "
4555867,24215972,2014-12-22,2896614,Mark And Kristen,"Good experience with Blaine. Quick, easy booking and Blaine was quick to answer even questions that I should have known the answer to. Everything was as described in the listing. "
4555867,24252576,2014-12-23,24918130,Ke,"We love the house with the cozy bedrooms, cute four-feet tub, a fine kitchen with anything you need even ingredients for cooking. And it's only about 15 mins away from downtown. The apartment also has two bikes for us to use which made us want to stay for more days! I have to say it looks way more beautiful that it looks like in the pictures. My friends and I really enjoyed our time there and it would definitely be the prior choice if I visit Austin again. Btw, the hose Mr. Blaine is so thoughtful and always reply your questions and inquiries immediately. Thanks a lot!"
4555867,24397867,2014-12-27,7057558,Carol,"Everything I'm looking for in an airbnb: nice, cool minimalist space not full of someone's clutter, immaculately clean, maximum privacy, a host who responds quickly to texts. Good location and easy access to downtown. I highly recommend Blaine's place and will consider staying again on my next trip to Austin..."
4555867,24442676,2014-12-28,9978368,Karina,Our stay in Blaine's house was great! The house was adorable and in a convenient part of town - we ended up taking an uber but there is a bus stop right across the street from the house. There was a small timing issue and Blaine hadn't gotten a chance to come in and clean before we arrived - he was incredibly apologetic and offered to bring us breakfast tacos the next morning to make up for it. Not to mention that he came by immediately to tidy up/change sheets while we were out at the store. The house is very spacious and has everything you need for a super comfortable stay. The decor is awesome and Blaine has a very detailed guide that will help you get around Austin and find awesome places to go to. We would definitely stay here again!
4555867,24559131,2014-12-30,18591453,Loribeth,"Blaine was so welcoming and accomodating to our last minute, unexpected schedule changes! The space was beautiful, warm and very clean! I loved how close we were to the bus stop so we saved lots of money on a taxi after our night out on the town!"
4555867,24695656,2015-01-01,25236668,Michael,"Blaine was very accommodating and made sure to answer any questions we had about our stay.  He made sure to follow up during our stay to ensure everything was going as planned.  We did not have the chance to meet in person, but Blaine did everything to make sure our stay was as comfortable as possible!

The house was very nicely decorated, I especially enjoyed the bathroom with its painted window and old decor.  The rooms were both very clean and ample pillows, blankets and comforters were provided.  The bathroom was well stocked and clean. The kitchen had ample space and was also clean.  I enjoyed the ability to easily watch Netflix during our stay and Blaine made it easy to navigate Austin with his guidebook he put together for his guests.

To summarize, a very positive stay and would repeat in the future."
4555867,24980453,2015-01-04,1400189,Travis,"We enjoyed our weekend in Austin at Blaine's home! The place was clean, in a convenient location, and had everything we needed. The bus goes right by the house, which is a little noisy, but great if you choose to use public transportation. Overall, we had a good experience and would stay here again!"
4555867,25034328,2015-01-05,22686021,Silvia,His house is real spacious for us. It's comfortable. He also provide guide book which is very helpful to find things in the house and to explore the city.
4555867,25181081,2015-01-08,2186358,Camille,"We loved this place! Booking it again next time!  I booked this house for some family members I had in town visiting. It was so cute. The design of the place was awesome, peaceful energy being right on the greenbelt, and for a two bedroom  house this place was a steal. Also, we loved that there were bikes for our use.  Blaine was a great host, letting us know he was available should we need anything at anytime. "
4555867,25287860,2015-01-11,6533093,Minerva,"This was an adorable home to stay for the weekend! Though we never met him, Blaine was nice and accommodated us well. Home offers all the essentials needed. All the areas we were visiting weren't too far away. "
4555867,25376213,2015-01-13,5135925,David,"My wife and I learned several important lessons during this experience.  First, check the section of town the residence is located.  Second, always look for outside pictures.  Especially, the entire house.  And, hopefully, the neighbors house.  Third, look for pictures of the shower, or in this case, the tub floor.  Yes, we were quite surprised by the neighborhood.  Reviews did not seem to equal what we experienced.  The place was clean.  We were disappointed at the lack of live tv.  The tub floor was rather gross with numerous rust spots.  My wife refused to shower.  I did shower.  The small house was adequate, yet disappointing.  We never met the host.  The key was in a lockbox with a combination.  It was very tough to open on a cold night in the dark.  All in all, we were probably expecting a relaxing evening and experienced more stress than we wanted."
4555867,25504602,2015-01-18,24930019,Emily,Blaine's place was conveniently located and comfortable.  He was attentive and answered all my questions quickly yet thoroughly both before and during our stay.  I would definitely recommend his place to anyone looking to stay in the Austin area!
4555867,25640021,2015-01-21,12030308,W Max,wonderful home! fantastic location. exactly as pictured! 
4555867,25759795,2015-01-25,12843733,Megan,Blaine was very accommodating! The house has a great a location and was perfect for what we needed. I would recommend this listing to anyone! 
4555867,26006643,2015-02-01,4227271,Sara,"This is a cute, comfortable house with plenty of space. We enjoyed our stay."
4555867,26178773,2015-02-06,22837957,Christopher,This was our first experience with airbnb and we feel lucky! Blaine helped with every little question we had. We would rent again. The place was perfect for us.
4555867,26236951,2015-02-07,25402161,Miguel,"Awesome experience 
"
4555867,26459323,2015-02-13,858222,Rosalie,"Blaine was very responsive via txt from the initial inquiry to our check out. We enjoyed the clean minimal design of the little house and found the location OK. We had a car and figured out routes to get us around in Austen. Only suggestion is to tighten up knobs, faucets, etc....and renew the cool claw foot rub. We liked the porches and all the lighting and the industrial-mid century flavor of the house. Our dog liked it all, too. 
Thanks, Blaine."
4555867,26505166,2015-02-14,27311448,Martha,"Everything we needed for our quick day trip. Blain was a great host. Excellent communication, very accommodation, and location was perfect. Beats staying at a hotel any day! Will stay here next time I'm visiting ATX."
4555867,26540663,2015-02-15,8630725,Pavan,"We had a great stay here. Blaine was easy to communicate with and the house is exactly like in the pictures. Thanks Blaine!
"
4555867,26648997,2015-02-16,5777846,Will,Great spot - can't get any better of a value than this place! Very easy to get downtown or to all of the cool areas in East Austin. 
4555867,26828031,2015-02-20,26435801,Erin,Blaine was very nice and accommodating. He made himself available to us if we needed anything during our stay. The house was very cute and cozy! 
4555867,27154821,2015-02-26,19445288,Charles,Listing was very accurate.  Home was nice and quiet.  Easy to find.  Stayed here for business so didn't spend much time in the unit.
4555867,27173451,2015-02-27,27314913,Joyce,"My friends and I loved this place!  It was the perfect spot for us to be away from everything!  Blaine was awesome!  I loved how the late check-in was no problem.  It was great that we had a few more friends join last minute, and there was just enough space for us all.  Even though we ran past check-out, Blaine was totally understanding."
4555867,27255851,2015-03-01,24525337,Kristen,"A group of girlfriends and I recently stayed the weekend at Blaine's charming little abode for a bachelorette party. Although the weather was uncooperative and kept us inside for most of the trip, we enjoyed ourselves immensely!! This house is soo cute, and charming, and cozy!
On the moments that weather DID permit, we used Blaine's local recommendations to scope out the east side of Austin, and we're not disappointed in the least!! We ALL would definitely and probably will stay here again in the future! TWO THUMBS UP!"
4555867,27377606,2015-03-02,26414212,Daniel,"Blaine was very nice, responsive, and accommodating. The house was exactly as described/appears in the pictures and in a clean, tidy condition upon arrival. Key was in a lockbox, so arrival time was flexible. 

There is not a ton of stuff to do in the immediate vicinity/walking distance, but the bus stop is right across the street and you can Uber to anywhere in Austin.

I was in just for a one night stopover, which this house was perfect for (the guest Netflix access was a great perk). Would stay again if I was passing through again.
"
4555867,27542445,2015-03-07,27367721,Jeanette,Blaine was a chill guy. Met for a quick second as we were leaving but was accommodating with our check out. Stay was very nice. Place was awesome and close to 6th street. Perfect ride for a cab. 
4555867,27667660,2015-03-09,2258215,Lance,"Blaine did a great job having his place ready for us. His house was cute and clean and fit our family of five well. Thanks, Blaine!"
4555867,27795629,2015-03-12,25974695,Jennifer,"What an adorable little cabin with a creek in the back! Loved the style, we felt very at home with the privacy of the place.  It was a great stay! Not to mention the host Blaine was very prompt to reply and answer any questions! Definitely will contact for a future stay! "
4555867,27825972,2015-03-12,29227461,Ena,The reservation was canceled 223 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4555867,28249123,2015-03-21,8003683,Becky,Great little home! We really enjoyed our stay here. The house came fully equipped with everything we needed and Blaine was a kind & generous host!

4555867,28525816,2015-03-25,19474168,Enrique,really good! the place had all the basic stuff we needed and was very clean! a little bit out of the city but worth the money. I would recommend this place for sure!
4555867,28659476,2015-03-28,10766460,Garrett,"Stayed with Blaine for 1 night with my family (2 adults 3 children).  Very clean, lots of room and relatively easy access to downtown.  For the price, you can't beat it."
4555867,28878302,2015-03-31,24700283,Sandra,"This house was a great place to stay for the price. The beds are very soft. It's quite close to downtown. Blaine was very helpful - he brought us coffee grounds, since the house was out. He also brought us an iron and a ironing board! This was a great experience. I would totally stay here again."
4555867,29171663,2015-04-05,3615618,Emily,"Convenient location, cute place.  Blaine was easy to contact and attentive and checked in to make sure the stay was going smoothly."
4555867,30380194,2015-04-21,12400585,Nikki,"Found the place no problem and were comfortable the whole time. Enjoyed staying in a regular Austin neighborhood - imagined ourselves moving in and meeting the neighbors. Blaine even found some kitchen supplies for us since we knew we'd be baking. Place best for folks who plan to be eating out or just throwing together basics before heading out for the day - but really, who goes to Austin to cook elaborate dinners in? Location was ideal for getting downtown, close to the airport, and close to our friends' home and the farm where they held their wedding. Would happily come back.

"
4555867,31061058,2015-05-01,3106877,Zara,"Blaine's place was great - lovely outdoor space and scenery, very clean and super fast wifi. Perfect for our stay in Austin!"

4555867,31531766,2015-05-06,6424142,Maxime,We had a pleasant stay at Blaine's house. It's close to downtown & close to the airport. The back deck is nice for a drink. Would stay again.

4555867,31874627,2015-05-11,3149510,Cara,"Blaine's house was perfect for our stay in Austin, it was close downtown if we needed, close to the festival we were going to, and the airport. I enjoyed how quiet it was there. I loved the sitting back porch and enjoying the morning. The beds were comfy and I would stay again! Thanks Blaine!"
4555867,32048110,2015-05-13,8044998,Eddy,Good location and spacious . Lots to do in Austin and Blaine's recommendations were really useful. Had a fun night out at the Sahara Lounge just around the corner.
4555867,32111584,2015-05-14,29398852,Kylie,"Had a great time staying at Blaine's place. He was very responsive and reached out in advance to make sure our check in would run smoothly. The place appeared just as it did in the images. Nice two bedroom - we only needed one, but this would be a fun place to go with a few people to Austin. Appreciate that Blaine allowed dogs, which is super helpful while traveling. It was our first Air B&B experience and it didn't disappoint!"
4555867,32178060,2015-05-15,957652,Wing,"Blaine was really helpful and responsive throughout the booking process and during our stay. The house is exactly as pictured: hip and tidy. It is spacious and quiet, which was nice after a fun and exhausted day in Austin."
4555867,32479466,2015-05-18,1028418,Gregory,"The space was exactly as pictured and described! A few friends stayed in Austin the same weekend (wedding) , and after comparing notes, we clearly had won the weekend AirBnB! Check in/out was as simple & fast as you could imagine. And everything we wanted to do, from east 6th St. to downtown was just 6 minutes away. 
10/10 would stay again!"
4555867,32826776,2015-05-22,28780342,Gracita,"The place was staged very well and matched the photos.  My friends and I were booked for four days but ended up checking out early and booking a hotel on our last day.  I will say that Blaine was very attentive, respectful and communicated in a timely manner despite having more important issues at hand.  "
4555867,32888209,2015-05-23,22086715,Ladan,"We really enjoyed staying at Blaine's place in east Austin. Very cozy, renovated, and comfy. Blaine was a great host and made sure that we had everything that we needed. He was also great at responding to messages very quickly. I would definitely recommend staying here if you would like a place about 12-15 min from downtown! Lots of transportation options (bus, uber, cab). Thank you Blaine!"

4555867,33889754,2015-06-01,22774552,Christine,"Blaine was very helpful. The house was clean and the bed was comfortable. Close to the airport and close to downtown. It did not seem like the best part of town. Blaines house was very well-kept on the outside and the inside, his neighbors not so much. However I felt safe enough, and I would stay here again. It was easy to find and the price was right."
4555867,33974611,2015-06-02,33520880,Tiffany,"Blaine was the perfect host and everything was exactly as described. He had the key waiting which made checking in and out extremely easy and efficient. The space was clean, hip and I wouldn't hesitate to book the space again for another trip."
4555867,34060218,2015-06-04,20404691,Kerstyn,Located in a quiet quaint neighborhood just 10 minutes outside of downtown. Easy access to 35. 
4555867,34147687,2015-06-05,14270347,Mary,We appreciated the air conditioning! The Netflix allowed us to stay in and nosh on our own food. Thanks for a ice stay.

4555867,34287581,2015-06-07,30018148,Krista,The listed description was accurate and Blaine was quick to respond to any questions. We had an issue with the back door and he was over to fix it within the hour. 
4555867,34406425,2015-06-08,25547755,Lauren,Great little place for our purposes. Everything was very clean and just as described. Great first Airbnb experience!
4555867,34578204,2015-06-09,34549462,Sarah,Accurate listing description in a quiet east Austin neighborhood that is still close to downtown. We loved staying at blaine's house!
4555867,34639921,2015-06-10,31417948,Ernst,"My friends and I stayed by Blaine's place for a night. His home is awesome. The five of us fit very comfortably in his well- furnished home.  the house gives off a very pleasant vibe and is situated in a friendly neighborhood. It is close to the city center and neighboring attractions.

I 100% recommend staying with Blaine if you're stopping by he Austin area. "
4555867,34775563,2015-06-12,30811688,Bryan,"Blaine has a very efficient setup and overall the house was in great shape. A notebook with answers to basic questions (e.g. WiFi password, instructions for Netflix, bus route, etc.) was laid out in the living room for easy reference. Beds were comfortable and the shower was perfect after 3 days of camping. We had no issues which resulted in us having to reach out to Blaine but his phone number was provided in the notebook as well.

Only slight complaint was that the house was farther from downtown than initially expected. Still quite close, a short 10-ish minute drive or a bus ride away, but especially with the heat we decided against biking as we had hoped to do. There were bike lanes and routes all over town, though, so it would have been do-able if we had been a little braver and a lot less tired.

It was everything we hoped for and a MASSIVE steal for the price. Wouldn't think twice about where to stay if we ever came back into town."
4555867,34940124,2015-06-14,29093106,Kara,"This place was exactly as shown on airbnb. We loved staying here and the house has great design and felt cozy. We did not personally interact with Blaine as we had no problems, but he seems very happy to help and had lots of useful info in a guidebook! Also the beds were very comfy! Lastly, check in was very easy! Definitely recommend this place! Thanks for the great stay!"
4555867,35156610,2015-06-15,35027483,Ian,Blaine was very responsive and the place was great. Having the bikes available was also a nice touch. Next time I need a spot in Austin I'll be checking to see if it's available.
4555867,35292567,2015-06-17,28186623,Emily,"The house/apt was great, just as pictured. Cute neighborhood,  funky hipster house. "
4555867,35436194,2015-06-18,28337824,Doug,Overall great first Air BnB experience! Blaine's cottage is as hip as advertised and the neighborhood is really neat as well. Quick and cheap uber ride to Rainey street and other East side restaurants/bars. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Austin!
4555867,35645854,2015-06-21,30123138,Raphael,Charming little rental house with enough space for 2-4 people. The neighborhood is...interesting...and a bit far from downtown to directly walk everyday but it is easy to grab an uber or a bus. Blaine explains and outlines everything you will need and prepares everything.
4555867,35840710,2015-06-22,32537613,Jun,"Blaine's place was lovely and had everything we needed. I never talked to the host, but the instructions he left was very helpful and we felt welcomed. A great place at a great price!"
4555867,36010360,2015-06-24,31115700,Kurene,"This was my first time using Airbnb and Blaine was a wonderful host. He immediately responded to any questions I had. The place looks exactly as depicted in the pictures. It was very clean and pristine. The house was fully stocked with all supplies necessary to cook, toiletries and towels. The decor made the place seem very homey. The driving distance to downtown is about 15 minutes, which wasn't bad in my opinion. I didn't take the bus while I was there but there's a bus that stops near the house every 15-20 minutes. Overall, I would definitely stay here again if I visited Austin!"
4555867,36123297,2015-06-25,15061507,Amanda,"We had a great experience with this home and our host Blaine!  The house was clean, the linens were fresh, and the environment was welcoming. There were all the comforts of home with this residence, and I would highly recommend this to visitors of Austin.  Very convenient to the airport, but with reasonable uber fair to South Congress.  Blaine does also offer tips to local eateries and things to do which were helpful and top notch suggestions.   "

The house was perfectly immaculate and stunning 
"
4555867,36943835,2015-07-03,5422014,Dalton And Jordan,"Our host Blaine was very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The house was clean and exactly as advertised. We enjoyed looking at the art on the walls, and were able to cook a lovely dinner for two with the tools in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet place to unwind after a day of exploring Austin. "
4555867,37149673,2015-07-05,26127455,Seri,"We really enjoyed Blaine's place when we stayed here over July 4 weekend. First, the previous posters do not lie about the comfy beds. They were awesome! Also, we loved having the stocked kitchen to get groceries and eat there. The neighborhood is not far from downtown, and we utilized Uber all weekend for travel. Would stay here again and recommend to friends!"
4555867,37349471,2015-07-06,32583585,Kim,"Clean, convenient location, and great communication. Thanks, Blaine!"

4555867,38357341,2015-07-14,27506877,Luis,This was an awesome place in a great location. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was clean and spacious.
4555867,38460167,2015-07-15,27387919,Autumn,"I visited Blaine's place with my two children and husband for a one-night stay before morning flights.  The airport was only about 15 minutes away and was easy to get to.  The neighborhood was okay, with a wide array of newer, high end homes right next to old, less loved homes.  This area is definitely undergoing revitalization. The home is neat and well appointed.  Everything was in working order and was well maintained.  The kids liked having access to Netflix and the wifi.  Downtown was also a quick 10-15 minutes drive.  Overall, a very pleasant experience that perfectly suited our needs."
4555867,38545111,2015-07-16,6953598,Mitchell,"A great property, as described, very comfy bed! A really short uber ride into downtown. "
4555867,38883411,2015-07-19,14724304,Brooks,"Extremely easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. "
4555867,39327469,2015-07-22,37935215,Uzma,"Blaine's place is a very charming cabin style house. I stayed at Blaine's for 2 nights with 3 friends and it was a great size place for us. The beds were comfortable and having Netflix and fast wifi was very nice. We found the place to be a little less clean than we had expected it to be, but all in all its a great value for the price.  Blaine was very quick to respond to any questions we had. "
4555867,39469098,2015-07-23,23455598,Troy,"Communication was great, house was clean and exactly as described. Would definitely stay here again. "
4555867,39767413,2015-07-26,18819887,Lori,"This is my new favorite spot in Austin! The house was exactly as shown in the pictures and we enjoyed every minute of it. Blaine was an excellent host. He was very helpful and accommodating and we will  book with him again in the future. Clean, cozy, and a short drive from downtown. "
4555867,40121998,2015-07-28,35297340,Rebecca,"Place was great, very easy to get to/from via bus to downtown Austin, had everything we needed! Blaine was responsive and helpful over email with anything we needed! "
4555867,40726734,2015-08-02,5153019,Ris,"We had a great time, the place was just as described. Blaine's recommendations in the guidebook were top notch and it was really nice to come home and relax and watch some ""it's always sunny in Philadelphia"" at the end of a fun day exploring Austin. 10/10 would recommend/stay there again. Thanks Blaine!"
4555867,40934029,2015-08-03,36220756,Chelsea,"This was our first Airbnb so we were not sure what to expect. The exterior of the house is really cute and once we were in the neighborhood it was easy to spot. Blaine left great recommendations and seemed to have thought about everything - even down to leaving extra toiletries, just in case! "
4555867,42452310,2015-08-13,39169870,Filip,"We all felt really welcomed, the flat was well prepared we felt really comfortable. The location is little bit further from the downtown, but if you have a a car it is toally without problem. Even though we were three the flat was big enough. We all slept in separate rooms. The communication between me and Blaire was completely without problems and he gave us some tips. Unfortunately we could not meet in person, but Blaine answered within an hour for our questions. I really recommend this flat."
4555867,44587647,2015-08-27,22122083,Amber,The home was exactly as described and clean. My son loved the house so much he didn't want to leave! Would definitely recommend.
4555867,44697561,2015-08-28,21707783,Missy,"My friends and I only stayed one night and we used what time we had to explore beautiful Austin. The place is comfortable, quaint, spacious and near 6th street. "
4555867,44814608,2015-08-29,40623462,Chris,Blaine was a great guy to work with.  He was prompt in returning all of my messages and his place was exactly how it was described.  The house was clean and had plenty of room for all of our guests.  I would recommend this place very highly and I would love to stay here again if I'm ever traveling through Austin in the future.  
4555867,45344444,2015-09-01,42636629,Avery,"House was nice,  just as described. Blaine communicated quickly and efficiently with us."
4555867,45416281,2015-09-02,38198486,Tristan,Blaine was very friendly and responded to messages very quickly. The place was super cool and the price was fantastic. Would definitely stay there again! 
4555867,45986761,2015-09-07,10870614,Allison,"The home wasn't ready when we expected it to be, but it worked out well because we were able to grab a late lunch and head back when it was done being cleaned. It was easy to find and although it's a bit further out than I expected, it was still pretty central to some cool spots. Overall, cute home and I would recommend it for the value! "
4555867,46559882,2015-09-11,42955351,Michelle,Nice and clean space. Wish it were in a nicer part of Austin. Very familiar with the city and wasn't aware it was this far East. The house seemed unfinished? However I liked that I didn't have to get the key from the host. It was already set up for me so I could just do my own thing. 
4555867,46692749,2015-09-13,29641051,Constance,"Blaine was a great host. Very attentive and accommodating. The house was very nice and it looked exactly like the pictures that were posted on Airbnb. The neighborhood was a little rough. There were a lot of people/hobos walking the streets, late at night.  However, ATX has a lot of homeless people and they never come close to the house, therefore, we did not feel unsafe as. All and all it was a great experience. "
4555867,47122599,2015-09-15,43328162,Jesse,"It is a great place ! Surpassed my expectations, very cozy, great bath tub, Blaine was very easy to work with, and he responded to everything in a flash. I would stay there again!"
4555867,47235952,2015-09-16,44048365,Gale,"Blaine's house was really cute. It's located in an ok neighborhood, but very close to cool stores and diners. The Salty Sow is nearby and delicious! I had a small hiccup with the parking pad (I drove off it! The grass was high and I'm from CA, we don't have parking pads) and my car tires got stuck. So, I just suggested a little post to let guest know how far forward they can come. other than my oopsie, everything is as its presented. I'd definitely stay again. "
4555867,47272711,2015-09-17,38694632,Marina,"The house is very cute and nice! Blaire was great with communication. He also left a folder with important information at the house. 
Though I must say the house was not very clean! On our beds were many small black hairs, really grows. Didn't wanna sleep in it. When I wanted to use a cozy blanket out of the closet I saw that the blanket had lots of stains , I think one was blood! I also found a cockroach in my room! 
All in all it felt awkward to sleep in these beds and walking around in the house. 
He doesn't charge cleaning fee , so basically the previous people have to clean it. 
"
4555867,47413790,2015-09-18,40188714,Jeff,Blaine was very welcoming and prompt to reply to all my text. The apartment was furnished nicely. The location was good for visiting UT Austin.
4555867,48065970,2015-09-23,4992545,Erica,"The place was pretty good for the price. It was clean and spacious for the four of us. We only stayed one night, however I'd book this place again for a short getaway. I do appreciate the no cleaning cost compared to other places. Also Blaine was very helpful and prompt to respond to any questions. Overall a good experience. "
4555867,49588628,2015-10-05,33533343,Zachary,"Blaine made us feel welcome in his property. The property matched the description accurately. The neighborhood looked a little older than expected if you're from suburban San Diego, but probably not if you're from most other places. There was one minor issue that didn't need immediate attention but when notified, Blaine offered to take care of it right away. I would recommend Blaine's property. Thanks, again!"
4555867,49880193,2015-10-07,8388600,Jessica,"Really hip place! We didn't get to meet Blaine but he was very easy to communicate with over phone and made sure we had everything we needed. The space is exactly as described and located in a beautiful part of town. Check-in and check-out went smoothly since instructions were clear and straightforward. If we're ever back in Austin, we would definitely stay at this house again!"
4555867,51114520,2015-10-18,23069572,Cecilia,"Easy transaction to get in and out. Clean, comfortable, plenty of space for 5 women. Definitely need a car to get to the thick of things. Pleasant experience!"
4555867,51595358,2015-10-21,46845131,Anne,Good location. Had a great time exploring the area. The host was very helpful with any and all needs we had.
4555867,51683877,2015-10-22,23705326,Joshua,"Great spot. Dropped in with short notice and the owner was super accommodating. 

I will book this place again. "
4555867,51796365,2015-10-24,46121663,Manideep,The description of the place is accurate and it's well maintained.  The amenities provided by the host were very good and the neighborhood is pretty close to all the places around. 
78097,3902187,2013-03-25,4079399,Nick,"Great hosts, gracious and polite. The room was just as described. Our stay was wonderful. Thanks!"
78097,4275206,2013-04-23,3004457,Venus,We came to Austin for a convention. The house was relaxing and casual. Blanca and Christian were very attentive hosts and I loved their dogs! Will definitely stay with them again if we head back that way.
78097,11048125,2014-03-18,11500723,Przemek,"the perfect place to stay in austin!
we spent there 11 nights and were extremely satisfied!
our hosts were supernice and helpful. they picked us up from the airport and gave us some rides during our stay. 
there are two friendly dogs living in the house, but if you're not a dog person, you wouldn't even notice them, so don't worry!
first we though it is so far away from the downtown, but we instantly found out that the bus stop is really around the corner and the bus runs straight to the heart of town. 
plus the sprouts supermarket two blocks away from the place is a real treat! 
if we can, we will definately come back there!"
78097,13394485,2014-05-26,6260278,Gail,"Christian and Blanca were fantastic!  The space was exactly as expected and we felt like a part of the family in 24 hours!  We were thrilled to be able to secure the space with such little notice! They were so kind and welcoming to our dog, Hunter!  Thank you so very much!"
78097,16879463,2014-08-03,19299680,Taylor,"Christian and Blanca were extremely sweet! They took us in last minute when our travel plans fell through and made our stay in Austin fun. The house was adorable, easy to spot and in a really convenient location. I would love to stay again the next time I am in Austin!"
78097,21107759,2014-10-11,22000830,Steven,"Christian and Blanca are gracious hosts. They are kind, welcoming and accommodating at best. Their house is clean, comfortable, relaxing and the neighborhood is in a safe and a convenient Austin location. They took us in (me and my 12 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback dog) at the last minute as we just have moved to Austin and were looking for a place to lease. Thier knowledge of Austin is vast and they help me look in the right direction to find a permanent rental. They were very loving to my old dog and made him feel at home too.       "
78097,21281795,2014-10-14,11999033,Wan,"Christian was a very kind, welcoming and informative host. We stayed at Christian's during ACL weekend and his house was about a 3-5 minute walk from the bus stop. You can take the #3 bus to Zilker Park (about 20 min bus ride) and walk for about 15 minutes to Zilker. I think it costs $1 per person one way, but if you're a UT student, you can use your ID to ride for free! Cheap, convenient, and safe way to get to the music festival!  I definitely recommend."
78097,21561915,2014-10-19,22064008,Mila,"The house was settled in a quite neighborhood, Christian and Blanca were very welcoming and relaxed. They were great hosts."

78097,22043163,2014-10-28,22547408,Henry,"Christian and his wife were very nice. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time together due to my busy three-day schedule. Listing and information I received through communications with Christian prior to arrival were all accurate. Great place to stay. I'll recommend this peaceful and quiet abode, especially if your plans center around the South of Austin. "
78097,22323413,2014-11-03,22528002,Sarah,Christian and his wife were very nice and accommodating. My cousin and I stayed for 2 nights along with my dog. The house was very clean and the neighborhood is nice. I will definitely recommend staying with them!  
78097,22638930,2014-11-10,2853921,Shaheli,I stayed for one night and the room was comfy and the hosts were very friendly. They have two really really adorable dogs!
78097,28469542,2015-03-24,11500723,Przemek,"Blanca and Christian are super nice and their place is a pleasure to stay in. They were so thoughtful as to give us rain ponchos when we desperately needed them. Those not only saved us from annoying rain but also turned out to be eyecatching hit on Austin's street. 
Day or night they were eager to drive us to and from the aiport. In fact, they did so three times which helped us to save much effort not to mention time.
All in all, great people who are so kind to invite travellers from all around the world to their home."
78097,31475776,2015-05-05,3608356,Larry,"Great location, nice hosts, sweet dogs, great price. "
78097,32034355,2015-05-12,443037,Laura,"Christian and Blanca are a very a happy couple and did not hesitate to welcome me to their home. In fact,they were having a few guests over for game night and invited me join them AND it was a lot of fun! It was relaxing to stay in their home and the coffee was good. Christian and Blanca have  clear communication style, have interesting stories and positive perspectives on life which I really admire . If you don't want to talk, don't worry they will respect you need for  privacy. The dogs are sweet. Good location."
78097,32659866,2015-05-19,15354897,Amir,"Great, like the neighborhood- convenient location close to sprouts and the highway "
78097,33321350,2015-05-26,32209283,Alexandria,Christian & Blanca were a pleasure! As my first airbnb experience they definitely succeeded all expectations and some! They are a great time and help with whatever we needed. Their home was awesome and CLEAN! I think I made some new friends in Austin and plan on returning to stay next time!  
78097,34599400,2015-06-09,32311271,Jack,"It was a relaxing pleasure staying in Christian & Blanca's very cute house.  I had the good fortune to meet Christian & talk with him quite a bit.  He's a smart, fun, interesting guy and I'm really glad we got to talk.  It was almost as much fun hanging out with their dogs - very, very well behaved and good natured dogs.  Very nice, quiet neighborhood; easy access to Austin by car.  Feels like a well-loved home.  I'd be happy to stay there again in the future & would hope to meet Blanca next time!
"
78097,41561733,2015-08-07,40594887,Esther,"Christian and Blanc went above and beyond to be the perfect hosts. Their home is loving, comfortable, and clean, and their two big dogs Thomas and Chato were adorable and made friends immediately. I was recovering from a back injury and was made to feel so comfortable and cared for. Their awesome couch can be  addictive, I could have sat in it all day, and the coffee Christian makes from scratch every morning was icing on the cake! Christian and Blanca are both educators, so we enjoyed many wonderful conversations, especially around dinner that we shared along with B, the other house guest who was visiting. The home was locate din a very central, but calm neighborhood that made it perfect for me to attend my meetings. I am already looking forward to going back there in a week. Thank you Christian and Blanca for taking such good care of your guests."
78097,41563971,2015-08-07,11421236,Brian,"Christian and Blanca were superb hosts. Communication was quick and easy. I was only planning on spending one night, but got into a conversation with Christian that ended up lasting all morning and culminated in an invitation to go to the local cold springs to go swimming with them, so I stayed an entire extra day. 

They couldn't have been more accommodating or friendly. 

The house is wonderful, clean and cozy. The doggies are a pleasure to be around. 

I highly recommend staying with them if you have the opportunity. Top hosts, great airbnb'ers. "
78097,42353072,2015-08-12,28264757,Victoria,"I had a wonderful stay with Christian and Blanca and would wholeheartedly recommend them. Their home home was well lived-in and well loved - exactly the sort of place that fills all your needs (comfort, clean, happy, and safe) but provides you something unexpectedly rich - connection with authentic, open hearted, look you in the eye and really see you people. As if that weren't enough their two giant love-bug dogs will win you over. I'm definitely going back. "
78097,43702702,2015-08-21,40594887,Esther,Simply great . Like the last time . See previous review. 
78097,44233903,2015-08-24,40594887,Esther,Great once again . Just like the last two times! If  I need a place to stay in South Austin this is where I will return . 
78097,45478486,2015-09-03,38513000,Luis,"Blanca and Christian are very nice people and have nice dogs.  We felt welcome and comfortable in their home, although we didn't spend much time with them.  

Bedroom was comfortable especially the foam pillows.

Thanks Christian, Thanks Blanca!"
78097,49791029,2015-10-06,7008418,Amanda,Felt just like staying with a friend. Such a great bargain for ACL when everyone else tries to gouge you! 
78097,50645611,2015-10-13,42958791,Brandi,"It was so fun! They are both so nice and the dogs are such a joy to be around! Had an amazing time. If you're a homebody and like to stay in your room they'll give you your space, but if you're social and you love to hang out and talk they'll sit there and talk to you till they can't anymore! They made me feel like I was at home and provided with everything I need! THANKS AGAIN FOR MAKING AUSTIN AWESOME."
78097,52278908,2015-10-27,3608356,Larry,"Christian and Blanca are the BEST. If you want to experience Austin the way it used to be, you must start with them…we coexisted and engaged as much as we wanted, so laid back, it was like a freakin' symphony. Sweet dogs, welcoming house, great location just down the street from Sprouts. I hope to come back!"
8582599,50716701,2015-10-13,16905889,Andrea,"Perfect place to stay for ACL and anything in central Austin! Definitely one of the best locations. Pat's place is sparkling clean, lovely, safe, and he's super friendly. Totally recommend!"

"
6114034,36405721,2015-06-28,33679315,Chris,"The hosts made us feel very welcome.  The house was in great shape.  The location is excellent.  It was less than $10 uberx to all the downtown spots.  The pool/hot tub is a great set up and very relaxing.

Austin is such a good city and this house is great for groups coming to town.  Close to Zilker, Barton Springs, and real easy ride downtown.

Projection screen upstairs is awesome!"
6114034,38029578,2015-07-12,35513656,Mike,We loved the house. The location is very convenient. The pool and hot tub were amazing. The upstairs media room was put to good use and did not disappoint!

4013329,27101404,2015-02-25,1224888,Celeste,Ted and Janelle were so helpful and welcoming. Their beautiful home is quiet and cozy. I had a wonderful night's sleep on a very comfy bed. I woke up refreshed and ready for a full day of meetings. I hope to make it back to enjoy their lovely suite!
4013329,27804949,2015-03-12,291413,Joseph,"What a most wonderful host and location. Ted was very easy to communicate with and ready upon my arrival.

I will most definitely be staying at this Austin Oasis again! Highly recommended!"

7971903,52471429,2015-10-29,25977284,Peggy,My daughter and I were visiting the University and this was a very good location for that.  The apartment was well equipped with a nice TV and chargers for equipment.  The bed was comfortable.  Omar was very available and checked in often to ensure we had what we needed.  Overall we would recommend this space and host. 
7971903,52871267,2015-11-02,20853266,Joserro,This was my first time staying at an airbnb and the experience was great. The apartment was just as in the pictures and Omar was very attentive.
5238866,28134947,2015-03-18,28194199,John,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was amazing. Eric could not have been a more perfect host. Communication prior to arrival was clear and from the moment I pulled up was welcomed and felt very comfortable. The property and house are stunning and the room is as well, nothing lacking. When I am back in Austin I will definitely be staying here."
5238866,28486772,2015-03-24,16293778,Vanda,"Eric was one of the coolest hosts I've ever had the pleasure of staying with! As great as the pictures looked it doesnt do the beautiful scenery justice! The room was great, the backyard + jacuzzi were perfect and theres tons of food spots in the area. Definitely will be coming back! "
5238866,30907586,2015-04-28,28694364,Ludovic,"I had an unbelievable stay over s Eric place. The room is just perfect and the place awesome, with the hot tub and swimming place. Everything was just perfect and Eric is an amazing host. He has always been available throughout SMS and helpful all the way long when we needed. The decoration was great and you felt at home, Even more on holiday like in Bali as soon as you enter the front door.

Thanks to Eric for everything
Now I understand better the meaning of Airbnb."
5238866,50575755,2015-10-12,14673434,Melanie,"I was greeted by 2 beautiful peacocks and deer!  I walked through an oasis to get to my own private entrance. The room was immaculate with a view of the pool and hot tub. Eric was great, and showed me around and even had water and coffee for me!"
5144913,27975123,2015-03-15,1801138,Shauna And Ben,Loved the house and meeting Sara. It was a comfortable spot (the bed was incredibly comfortable) and you can't beat the location with access to the middle of downtown Austin just a few blocks away. Great experience all around. Sara was a fantastic host. I hope to stay at the house again--just loved the experience. Sara even loaned me her bike for the day so I had a chance to explore Austin on bike. 
5144913,28111560,2015-03-17,5245445,Sofya,"This place is fantastic! The pictures don't do it justice, it's a beautiful open space that's full of sunlight. Very clean, uncluttered, and relaxing. Super comfy bed with nice white linens. Sara was an amazing hostess, very accommodating and nice. Highly recommend it!"
5144913,28346820,2015-03-22,19007822,Ryan,"Fantastic space in Austin.  Was there for SXSW and this was a great location, out of the noise yet close enough to always be a quick walk from downtown.

The home/apt has everything you need and Sara was very accommodating."
3351416,15376519,2014-07-07,17546746,Lee,Beautiful house and very convenient location.  Loved the pool!  And the cat was a nice surprise.
3351416,16485032,2014-07-28,17113450,Rachel,"Nice home that is cute, clean and spacious. The pool is amazing and great location close to downtown. Taking care of a cat was a surprise!"
3351416,16916164,2014-08-04,1620270,Tu-Anh,"I stayed here with a group of friends for a relaxing bachelorette weekend and the house was perfect for us. It's a great location tucked behind all the restaurants and shops we wanted to visit and a short drive to the river. The house was roomy and clean and had everything we needed to accommodate nine people comfortably. We loved chilling in the pool and it was easy to contact Carmelita when we had questions about the house. I would definitely stay here again if I ever visit Austin with a big group. 

P.S. We had a few girls who were allergic to cats, but it wasn't a problem because the cat came and went about his business. I'm a cat person myself so it was cool to have him lounge around the pool or around the house from time to time. "
3351416,17399835,2014-08-11,19272587,Julie,Great house great host....I would definitely recommend
3351416,17842874,2014-08-18,17597860,Brittany,"We had a great time.  The house is beautiful, spacious, and the neighborhood is very convenient to getting around Austin.  But, make sure to take note of the cat!  We had one person in our party who has a slight allergy to cats.  We did not think it would be a problem, since the cat is an ""outdoor"" cat, but Biscuit did hang around us the majority of the time.  So, this may not be the house for you if your allergy is even a slight one."
3351416,18074643,2014-08-21,11048865,Peter,The reservation was canceled 78 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3351416,19522275,2014-09-14,18167023,Shaun,"Carmelita was a very accommodating host, and the house was as advertised. The pool is great, and kept in pristine condition. Everything is clean, convenient and well explained in the house manual.

She was also very quick to respond to any questions I had.

Overall, a very positive experience."
3351416,19830840,2014-09-19,18353389,Bob,"The best decision I ever made!  The home is amazing in the online photos and even more amazing in person.   If comfort,  relaxation,  pampering and location to the heart of Austin are important to you,  look no further.   This is it!  I can never relax away from home and I'm telling you all now,  this is my home away from home.   The host is incredibly engaging, knows the area and over-the-top helpful.  It was like having a personal concierge at my own house.  Towels, sheets, supplies,  coffee, and a few little surprises...Wow! Don't waste any more time looking elsewhere because this retreat is the one.   Seriously,  why do you keep reading this?   Don't delay because if you aren't renting this place someone else is.... business or personal travel,  you won't regret it.   I know I certainly won't. "
3351416,21777782,2014-10-24,6856244,Samantha,"She was very helpful to provide my niece with baby things and was accommodating. The last night my mother & father in-law were there, there was a leak from the upstairs bathroom and dripped water onto their bed. This is a great house for families but probably not for several adult couples as aside from the master and guest room, one of the bedrooms is bunk-beds and another is a race-car bed. I definitely recommend reading the fine print before booking this location, however, overall my in-laws enjoyed the pool (minus the mosquitoes) and it is a fantastic location. "
3351416,22231415,2014-11-02,5082830,Sheila,"We rented the house for a 30th birthday celebration. We were a group of 10 women. The house was great and Carmelita was a responsive and gracious host. The house is located in a very convenient location in a cute neighborhood.  It was very clean and cozy and it satisfied all our needs for the weekend. We had one minor hiccup with the upstairs bathroom, but Carmelita handled it like a pro. I was very pleased with my stay and would recommend the house to others! "
3351416,22825626,2014-11-16,2829087,Jaimee,The house was wonderful! Carmelita was very responisve and understanding.  I would highly recommend this house!
3351416,23112331,2014-11-23,22862166,Mae,The entire process was awesome and the house was beautiful! A lot of room to host people and move around. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and very close to Austin sights. Our host had lots of board games and ways to pass the time! 
3351416,31869172,2015-05-11,25358784,Eric,"This place is beautiful, spacious, and perfect for bachelor/bachelorette parties. We had 12 guys comfortably stay and had an amazing time. 

Pool is great. Pool table is great too. Location is 8 min uber to both rainey and 6th st "
3351416,33643964,2015-05-31,5951489,Walker,This house is great. The location and the pool are hard to beat. It was very comfortable for our large group and Carmelita was a great host. I would definitely recommend this place. 
3351416,34274446,2015-06-07,26834996,Adrian,"What a fantastic property, truly unique! Set in a charming and relaxing location, yet close enough to all the must see Austin neighbourhoods. Carmelita was highly responsive and accommodating, a guest couldn't want for more. Our party of five from the UK had a wonderful time. Highly recommended."
3351416,37200426,2015-07-05,5060201,Katie,My friends and I had a great time at this lovely home in Austin. The house was a perfect size and there was plenty of sleeping room. The backyard was a perfect place to relax and hang out by the pool. Location was perfect and close to lots of great spots in the city.
3351416,37949257,2015-07-12,26442164,Jenny,Carmelita was a wonderful host! She was easy to get in touch with throughout our stay and  her home is beautiful. She responded to all of my e-mails in an extremely timely manner even while she was out of town. I cannot recommend this home enough! 
3351416,38831776,2015-07-19,30869688,Lauren,"Both the house and Carmelita were amazing. The house was exactly as listed, very clean, and perfect for 11 girls celebrating a bachelorette party. The location was great and central to everything we wanted to do. The pool was the perfect (and necessary) break from the hot Texas weather. Carmelita was extremely responsive and very thoughtful. Her local contact was easy to reach and very nice. I would HIGHLY suggest staying here for your trip to Austin."
3351416,39729088,2015-07-26,27442036,Rick,"The house was awesome, the pool was wonderful, and Carmelita was so thorough in her notes and explanation of everything.  Nothing but great things to say about this house.  I definitely recommend to others!"
3351416,40756039,2015-08-02,17380453,John,House was great.  Carmelita was friendly and accommodating.  Great trip.
3351416,41754385,2015-08-09,28698627,Sachin,Our stay at this house was everything we could have hoped for and more. The house was large enough for all 11 people to sleep comfortably and was nice and clean. The pool was fantastic in the heat and even shaded by trees. Even more perfect was the close proximity to downtown (1.5 miles) and the ease to get there and back. This is truly a place worth every penny!
3351416,42861568,2015-08-16,30302659,Diana,"Carmelita was a dream to work with when we set up the rental. She was responsive and helpful with suggestions. During the stay, our party needed some guidance on a few things and she was in constant contact. The house was lovely and the pool a welcome oasis on hot August days! "
3351416,45360254,2015-09-01,959446,Brady,The host canceled this reservation 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3351416,45770441,2015-09-06,27243419,Andrew,"Great home & location. The pool was awesome and was a must have for a hot weekend in Austin. Carmelita welcomed a couple early arrivals with open arms and even went out and bought us some beers along with chips and salsa to enjoy.

Only negative aspect was learning about 2 weeks before we were arriving that recent guests had caused a bit of a ruckous in the neighborhood, which has led to some sensitivities with anti-airbnb neighbors."
3351416,50431224,2015-10-12,23833324,Whitney,"Not only is this house beautiful, comfortable, and amazingly decorated, it's perfectly located an easy 20 minute walk from South Congress. Carmelita was thoughtful, easy to communicate with, and made us feel very welcome. This is a family neighborhood, and that quiet vibe fit perfectly with our group. From the pool to the shade trees to the pool table, everything was wonderful. I'd highly recommend this house for groups looking to have a comfortable and relaxed place to stay while in Austin. "
1309487,10900010,2014-03-12,921360,Kelly,"Morgan and Steve (and their son Greg) were phenomenal hosts.  We had everything we needed (and more!) for our stay.  Check-in and check-out were super easy and the location was perfect for SXSW.  They were very communicative up to and throughout our trip and were available if we needed anything at any time of day/night.

The place itself is incredible - plenty of room for four of us (two twin sleepers in the loft + a super comfy queen bed.  There's also an induction stove, an all-in-one washer/dryer, and a Chromecast they had set up so we could stream to the TV...truly top-notch digs.

THANK YOU Morgan, Steve, and Greg for an unbeatable weekend."
1309487,12286029,2014-04-28,4213081,Blaise,Great place with tasteful decor. AWESOME LOCATION to restaurants and bars. Would come back again! 
1309487,12569160,2014-05-05,14227353,Bruce,"We give Morgan and Steve - and their apartment - the highest rating possible. Everything was perfect. Their apt was EXTREMELY centrally located and very comfortable, with all the amenities (coffee maker, microwave, dishwasher, flat screen TV, etc.) you would want, and then some. 

Communicating with them prior to our visit was easy, friendly and valuable. The kitchen, beds and furniture were spotless and comfortable, their written instructions were clear and they left information about Austin which really helped us in our stay.

I can't imagine a better place or a more delightful host. It probably sounds like I am  an old friend of theirs trying to burnish their online reputation, but we are just 3 friends who wanted to spend a long weekend in Austin. We are glad to have found this place. Thanks Morgan and Steve!"
1309487,13387911,2014-05-26,14097187,Amy,"My friend and I stayed at Morgan and Steve's condo for memorial day weekend and it was an amazing experience. They were very quick to respond and super accommodating to all of my questions! 

The space itself is exactly as pictured, super clean and the beds were super comfy. We were first timers to Austin and location could not have been better. We were able to walk around an explore most areas of the city and it was never more than a $10 cab ride everywhere we wanted to go. "
1309487,14290019,2014-06-16,15429064,Jeremy,"Was a pleasure to stay here. Great location. Nice place. Morgan and Steve were friendly, and everything went smoothly. Couldn't ask for more."
1309487,15262573,2014-07-06,14383260,Tracey,"My boyfriend and I met Morgan outside on one of the nearby street corners.  She was very pleasant and sweet!  She walked us through everything we needed to know about getting in and out of the condo.  The condo was beautifully clean and well furnished.  Lovely remodel and upgrades and was situated in a great area, walking distance (or biking) to everything!  She provided us with some complementary wine and beers and also gave us a gift card for one of the local grocery stores."
1309487,19818636,2014-09-19,5335760,Brian,"Morgan and Steve's apartment was AWESOME. The location can't be beat, and I really loved how they decorated and furnished the apartment. The attention to detail was incredible, and made me feel right at home -- a very luxurious and comfortable home at that!

They were also incredible hosts, and were always on hand and very communicative if we ran into any issues or needed a restaurant or activity recommendation. Morgan even went as far as to mail back an eye mask that I left behind, and wouldn't even let me pay her back for shipping.

All in all, this was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had, and I can't wait to stay at Morgan and Steve's apartment when I return to Austin next!"
1309487,20662454,2014-10-03,14398964,Ian,"Morgan and Steve we're AMAZING hosts! This was my first AirBNB experience so I was a little nervous having never been to Austin but my stay at their downtown condo was way above my wildest expectations. Morgan was incredibly responsive from the time I got there (she met me at 12:30am to give me keys as my flight got in late) to the the time I left. She even stopped by after 3 days to give me an extra fob and make up the spare bedroom. The condo was clean and beautiful and included tons of amenities (ie, washer/dryer which was a life saver, expresso machine, coffee machine etc). It ideally situated in downtown Austin which is walking and/or biking distance from anywhere you need to go. Morgan also recommended many local hot spots, a few of which I vistited on a daily basis. I cannot say enough good things.

I would recommend this condo to anyone who is looking to visit Austin, whether it's just for a weekend or for an extended stay. I stayed for 8 days, and plan on coming back again soon.
"
1309487,21201944,2014-10-13,18738209,Ari,"Morgan and Steve delivered on everything that they promised.  Morgan was waiting for me when I arrived in Austin and greeted me with a set of keys, instructions, local coffee, wine, and beer, and a plethora of magazines on what to do in Austin.  The neighborhood couldn't have been better. "
1309487,21534194,2014-10-19,21766545,Susan,"Morgan was extremely inviting and very lovely.  She met us at the condo, gave us a quick tour, some great food recommendations and left us to enjoy our weekend.  The condo was right in the heart of downtown and we could walk practically everywhere!   "
1309487,22100353,2014-10-30,20611686,Tracy,"This fantastic Austin getaway is exactly as it's listed and more!  We had such a warm welcome from Morgan and Steve. They gave us a lot of recommendations on local restaurants as well as where NOT to eat.  They even provided local wine, beer and coffee for our stay!  Location was fantastic!  We had a rental car but really didn't need it. Everything was in walking distance.  Would definitely recommend this adorable Austin home! "
1309487,22305415,2014-11-03,21699954,Terri,"Wonderful Stay!  Location was great, perfect!  The condo was every bit as nice as the photo's show.  Morgan and Steve could not have been nicer and more accommodating.  Would always recommend this property!"
1309487,22521913,2014-11-09,20507882,Claire,"Morgan and Steve met us at the airport, after contacting us via text to make sure we knew how to get to the apartment.  They spent time making sure we were comfortable with the accommodation.  We were close to all the sites of Austin and felt very safe and secure in the complex."
1309487,26228002,2015-02-07,26855627,Emma,"A coworker and I visited Austin for a business trip. Morgan met us at the apartment and made sure we were all set for the week, giving us plenty of food recommendations and areas to visit downtown, as well as making sure we were comfortable and right at home. The location was perfect (only a few minutes walk to work for us), and the condo was beautiful - exactly like the pictures. Everything was perfect :)"
1309487,26460704,2015-02-13,1144677,Franklin,"Morgan met me at the rental to get me situated, make restaurant recommendations, and make sure I had everything I needed for a great stay. She's awesome, and I'm really thankful I took some of her restaurant advice! 

The rental is really cool, exactly what you'd expect after seeing the pictures. 

While there can be some noise from the street, it's what you'd expect staying in such a great downtown location. They provide a nice white noise machine to drown it out."
1309487,26699417,2015-02-17,1442850,Jennifer,"Morgan and Steve's apartment listing is completely accurate (and amazing!) from floor to vaulted ceiling.  It's impeccably decorated and extremely clean, but still super comfortable for just spending time in the apartment.  Morgan was great at communicating the details and directions to the apartment in advance, and helping us out when we arrived and the Austin Marathon had a bunch of roads closed.  It was easy to set up a time to get the keys, and after they met us at the apartment to show us around, all that was left to do was enjoy Austin!  Also, the fact that parking was provided for us on this stay was fantastic since the marathon made on-street parking somewhat tricky.  This is a no-hassle, lovely, Austin-trendy, comfortable, upscale apartment that I would definitely stay at again if I return to Austin!  Thanks, Morgan & Steve!"
1309487,26870997,2015-02-21,26320836,Mark,"Great experience. Morgan and Steve were very accommodating to our flight schedule and the place was very nice, exactly as expected."
1309487,27585897,2015-03-08,4578823,Lesley,"I can't recommend this condo more enthusiastically. Amazing location, perfectly appointed, sparkling clean, and managed by thoughtful owners, who include things like white noise machines (in case the frequent police sirens and occasional noisy neighbors are disturbing), liquid refreshments in the kitchen, and a blow dryer in the bathroom.
These folks went above and beyond for me after my flight was delayed many hours, leaving me pajamas, basic toiletries, and kind notes that made me feel welcome despite my exhaustion. "
1309487,27826874,2015-03-13,16332189,Tom,"Beautiful condo perfectly located for the conference center and downtown. The space felt really luxurious, and Morgan and Steve have put a lot of effort into making sure that it has everything a guest could want, from great coffee to a list of breakfast recommendations. 

Morgan was incredibly nice and went our of her way to offer advice and help. I would definitely stay again!"
1309487,27987152,2015-03-16,8960491,Juan,"This is a really great place to stay during SxSW. The space is exactly as the photographs show online.  Its centrally located to everything, easy to get in and out and it has a patio that overlooks all the action going on outside.  The space is also nicely decorated and Morgan was great in meeting us to show us the place. I'm picky about hotels and where I stay and I would definitely stay here again."
1309487,28303161,2015-03-22,2340644,Jacqueline,"Morgan was one of the best hosts I've ever encountered in my AirBNB bookings.  The suggestions for coffee and local food was great, the house was immaculate and very comfortable as well. What a great kitchen and great little balcony as well!  We enjoyed our stay and can't wait to come back again!"
1309487,28743342,2015-03-29,1220414,Michael,"Me and my girlfriend loved our stay at Morgan & Steve's hip Austin condo!  Morgan went above and beyond to make my girlfriend feel welcome on her birthday weekend there by buying her a dessert that was there on her arrival.

I was flying in separately from my girlfriend, missed my flight and ended up arriving 9 hours later than I was supposed to.  While I was delayed at the airport I called up Morgan and asked her to do something special on my behalf for my girlfriend who had to wait around 9 hours for me to arrive.  So Morgan went to a local florist and bought an amazing arrangement of flowers that was waiting on the table for my girlfriend (along with a nice card) that really made my girlfriend's day and helped make up for me being late.

Their apartment is really well furnished and stylish and an amazing place to spend time in Austin.  The location is amazing and felt central to amazing restaurants, bars, coffee bars, and pretty much everything in Austin!

I'd highly recommend staying here and plan on coming back in the future!



"
1309487,29850292,2015-04-13,4327100,Robert,Awesome place right in the heart of downtown.  Morgan was very welcoming and provided a bunch of great recommendations. Definitely would stay here again upon my return to Austin
1309487,30144688,2015-04-18,8998014,Charles,"Morgan (Steve was out of town) provided a warm and friendly greeting and thorough overview of the condo. The condo's pictures are represented well - which is to say nicely decorated, maintained, and appointed. As well, if you are interested in the downtown area, perfectly positioned to walk to night life, restaurants and general interests (State Capital was unique and gleaming with history). 

We had a bit of noise from nearby guests a few nights, but this was a minor issue. Mostly those guests coming back from a night out and some general libation. Short lived, but without thought to volume levels. 

Small details were thought out (soap, shampoo, paper towels, written recommendations and instructions etc...). Welcome gift of a few craft beers and a bottle of wine. All in all a recommended experience.

Thanks again Morgan and Steve"
1309487,30353647,2015-04-20,10713300,Melanie,"My friend and I came out to Austin for a girl's weekend getaway and Morgan's place was amazing. Morgan met us on the day we came in and gave us a wonderful welcome. The place was beautiful, clean and relaxing. It's very centrally located to restaurants, bars and downtown. I fell in love with Austin and would love to come back and stay here again! "
1309487,30674426,2015-04-26,28168303,Courtney,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Morgan and Steve’s apartment for a weekend getaway in Austin, and it was everything that we hoped it would be.  Morgan met us when we got in late on Thursday night to give us a tour of the apartment and provide us with a good overview of the surroundings area.  She also provided some good tips for restaurants and happy hour spots to check out.  The apartment was very nice, clean and cozy, in addition to being in a great location.  We would definitely stay at Morgan and Steve’s place again on our next visit to town."

In the end, we are so thankful to have found Morgan and Steve's place - they were incredibly hospitable and warm and the condo itself was beautiful (exactly as in the photos) and clean. They provided restaurant and point-of-interest recommendations that we really benefited from! The condo was easy to access, very central - within walking distance of everything, and very charming overall! We would definitely recommend Steve and Morgan's accommodation and would welcome the opportunity to stay there again in the future."
1309487,32481747,2015-05-18,24134396,Jade,"Our stay at Morgan and Steve's Austin Getaway was a delight!

Host Interaction:
We were warmly greeted by Morgan who showed us around the place and suggested great restaurants. She immediately responded to any questions we had and provided her direct cell in the event that we had more questions. We felt very taken care of.

The Space:
Their home is immaculately decorated and very cozy. For my husband and I, we felt it was the perfect space to spend a long weekend. Specifically we appreciated the abundance of towels, soaps, and fully stocked kitchen items to cook or make an espresso. 

The 'Hood:
Downtown is the place to be in Austin. We were right in the middle of and within walking distance to anything we cared to see (restaurants, bars, music venues, pharmacies, and historical sites). With that said, noise comes with being in the middle of the fun, but nothing that the fan didn't drown out."
1309487,33169853,2015-05-25,180712,Paul & Andrew,"Morgan & Steve's condo is perfect.  Modern, open, super-clean, and very comfy.  The location is smack-dab in the heart of Austin's thriving downtown scene.

This was our first visit to Austin and staying here made the entire experience ideal.  Communication was great, check-in/out was easy, the whole experience was easy and comfortable.

Morgan and Steve are gracious hosts who pay attention to every detail.  We hope to return soon !"
1309487,34126374,2015-06-05,3916830,John,"I cannot say enough of my experience in Austin.  Steve and Morgan were very accommodating upon arrival.  Finding the place was a breeze and they were there when we arrived to meet us and guide us to  great time in Austin.  The condo is centrally located so whether in Austin for a convention, or just to get some Texas culture, you are right in the mix.  The condo is in impeccable shape and perfect if you want to stay in and cook, or stroll down and find an amazing meal downtown in one of Austin's amazing restaurants, this is the place.  I wish my kitchen at home was nearly as nice as theirs!  Don't miss the coffee and breakfast tacos at Houndstooth just a block away!"
1309487,34775126,2015-06-12,26855627,Emma,I love this Loft. This is my second time booking this airbnb. It's so comfortable and conveniently located. Everything is super clean and way above expectations. 
1309487,41987520,2015-08-10,28771797,Jeremy,"The apartment was a welcome oasis in 100 degree weather. The decor is rustic for a nice Texan feel, but is complete with high-speed internet, modern appliances, and even white noise machines. I definitely recommend this for others."
1309487,46914711,2015-09-14,41003473,Julie,"What a wonderful weekend. The condo was beautiful and in a fantastic location.  Morgan was such a gracious hostess. She met us upon arrival, showed us around, gave us a list of recommendations, etc.  She even emailed and texted pertinent information so that it would be handy on phones.  Morgan also had a few treats waiting for us in honor of our 22nd anniversary including a bottle of wine and some fabulous specialty cupcakes.had wine and beer waiting along with some yummy cupcakes.  Morgan really knows how to  out the red carpet and make her guests feel special.  I give this condo stay my highest recommendation!  Than you so much Morgan. I hope to be staying with you again soon!"
1309487,48566736,2015-09-27,42906889,Bill,"Morgan and Steve are fantastic hosts.  They are great communicators, beginning from the time we booked and throughout our stay. They go out of their way to treat their guests to a wonderful experience.  Morgan met us at the condo, showed us around and made sure we were up to speed on everything.  The condo was well appointed and had everything we needed, including coffee, espresso, a bottle of wine and a six pack of Texas beer to get us started. It was spotlessly clean.  The bed and linens were very comfortable.  It is in a terrific location downtown, a short walk from many great restaurants and all the entertainment on 6th Street.  Even though we were there during a game weekend, the condo was quiet and relaxing. This was our first time in Austin and Morgan gave us a great rundown on the lay of the land. Her tips on restaurants, happy hour and nightspots were extremely helpful and every one was a hit with us, including her recommendations on BBQ joints.  You have to try the beef ribs along with the brisket!  To sum it up, our stay was perfect and we are looking forward to a return trip to Austin and will definitely book with Morgan and Steve.  We have pretty high standards and expectations but this was A++ and 10 out of 10 in our book. "
1309487,50831455,2015-10-15,6971480,Mike,"Morgan and Steve's place was awesome! It was in an ideal central location and the apartment itself was super charming. It was modern, clean and had a Texas vibe that was really fun. Morgan was the most gracious host! She was really friendly and helpful in guiding us towards the best restaurants and bars! We'd highly recommend staying here. "
1309487,51133560,2015-10-18,6508384,Beth,"We loved our time here!  Morgan and Steve were amazingly thorough and accommodating - we loved the apartment, the linens and beds were very comfortable and the modern amenities, great.  The location was unbeatable as well.  Would stay there again and again!"
1309487,51576844,2015-10-21,26122108,Josh,"My fiancé and I had a wonderful experience in Austin, due in large part to Morgan and Steve. They were great hosts and have a fantastic space in the heart of downtown Austin. Within walking distance to pretty much every area of the city and a block away from a B-Cycle station (which we used a lot). The home was just what we needed and in a great location. 

Morgan and Steve greeted us and provided a tour of their home. They also printed out helpful information, such as places to have breakfast/lunch/dinner, coffee, as well as things to do in Austin. The Shiner six-pack and bottle of wine was a very welcome amenity. ;) The space itself is perfect for two people and we spent a lot of time on the balcony. 

Morgan and Steve were also very accommodating and flexible with check in and check out times. We arrived and departed at odd times, but Morgan and Steve were quite gracious and worked with us to allow for an early check in and late check out. 

The next time I visit Austin, you can be sure I'll be checking with Morgan and Steve to see if this space is available and highly recommend anyone reading this do the same. "
1309487,51787056,2015-10-24,44107265,Hayley,My host made me feel very welcome.  There were a list of local recommendations.  The condo is beautiful and in great shape.  It was exactly as advertised.  The location was perfect for my needs and was walking distance to everywhere I needed to be.  I definitely hope I can stay there again the next time I am in Austin.
433996,1390920,2012-05-31,2383938,Ely,"Sean's loft is awesome! I didn't want to leave. It was nicer than i thought it was going to be. Very modern and very clean. it was like a home away from home. If i moved to Austin, it's where i'd want to live. Was a super great deal as well. "
433996,4426352,2013-05-04,21929,Tandy,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
433996,4765053,2013-05-24,2597713,Daniel,"Sean was very quick to respond and the property was in great condition. Enjoyed my stay there - one piece of advice to future guests is that the entrance can be tough for taxis to see, so best to wait near the sidewalk to get picked up. 

"
433996,5628648,2013-07-08,1562568,Casey,The condo was great. Within walking distance of Zilker park and close to South Congress. The room itself was clean and comfortable. We'd stay here again.
433996,10170814,2014-02-03,2695525,Avni,"Great apartment with a grate view. On the hills of Barton and Zilker in a very pleasant neighbourhood. 2 bathrooms, which is very convenient, and a ""grocery"" store next door. Only negative during my stay: no hot water in the updatirs bathroom. I would recommend this place though!"
433996,11399657,2014-04-01,11474439,Eryn,"Beautiful, clean loft literally in the heart of Austin!

This was our first visit to Austin and definitely will not be our last. This was part of a small unit right in the middle of it all. Perfect location! Even when traffic was bumper to bumper, it didn't take us long to get to all of the attractions. "
433996,11931930,2014-04-19,12264520,Chelsea,"Sean's place is awesome. It looks just like the photos. I loved the upstairs loft and the fact that there are two bathrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, etc. The space is clean and modern, but also feels very cozy. The little deck is also an added bonus. Close proximity to parks and greenery, which we loved. Very easy check in/check out. I definitely recommend staying here."
433996,12475142,2014-05-03,5821233,Matthew,This was a beautiful loft in the middle of Austin.  Close to a local park and clearly set up for Airbnb rentals.  
433996,16755224,2014-08-01,12900258,Ghislain,Everything went very smoothly. Got the code for the door and all was very clean. Perfectly located near main roads for exploring Austin.
433996,16944703,2014-08-04,17678148,Caroline,"We had such an amzing stay in Sean's loft!  It was so clean and open.  He left a great guide to the apartment and some awesome local tips as well!
It is exactly as pictured and described.  He made it so easy to check in.

Perfect location, so close to all the great spots."
433996,17661255,2014-08-15,18747181,Mandeep,"Amazing condo. Neat and clean. Very close to Zilker park. 
Had a great stay and would highly recommend. "
433996,18604905,2014-08-28,18747181,Mandeep,"Second time around, it was equally nice."
433996,20100669,2014-09-23,13005320,Josh,"Had a great stay at Sean's place in Austin, would highly recommend. Within walking distance of Zilker Park, a great spot for outdoor activities during the day. Also really close to some great food options, and a short Uber or Lyft ride from all the best spots in Austin.

Sean was a great host, had the place all prepped and waiting for us. The apartment is in pristine shape with all the amenities one would expect. A perfect spot for a couple traveling on a budget. Just far enough away from all the hustle and bustle, while being close enough to get around easily.

Couldn't be happier with my experience with Sean and his spot. Would definitely stay again next time I find myself in Austin. "
433996,21033185,2014-10-10,8338782,Sejla,Sean's condo is stylish and very clean. We found everything we needed. There is a beautiful park near by and we walked to downtown on daily basis. We are staying there again in few days and are looking forward to it.
433996,21741122,2014-10-23,8338782,Sejla,This is our second time staying with Sean. We had a very relaxing time. We especially enjoyed the balcony and Zilker park near by. Would definetelly come again. 
433996,22575931,2014-11-10,16347464,Korinna,"Cute place, quiet area on the third floor of what looks like an apartment complex.  The only downside was needing to walk really quietly in the evenings since the neighbors below can apparently hear movement above.  We didn't get complaints.  The real downer was when the water was turned off unexpectedly while we were getting ready.  I notified Sean and he responded back pretty quick, but it made a pretty large dent in our morning.  Apparently they hadn't been notified that there was going to be some plumbing work done at the time.  Bad timing, I suppose.  Overall, a good experience.  Would stay again."
433996,23438535,2014-12-01,4048989,Aaron,"Extremely convenient location and comfortable apartment with all the main amenities you would need. Perfect access to the park and all it's charms (hiking path, fields, kayaking, Barton Springs pool).  You can even walk into downtown which I did once or twice.   The apartment is bigger than it seems in the photos and the two bathrooms are very convenient.   I'll probably be coming back in the spring. A great base from which to enjoy and explore Austin."
433996,23714501,2014-12-08,12710095,Dan,"My stay here was great, really good location in austin and the condo was very nice.  it has obviously been upgraded and was comfortable and convenient.  i would definitely recommend it to others."
433996,25263275,2015-01-11,21812282,John,"Very nice, open space. Perfect for a couple. With a third guest there's not a lot of privacy, but plenty of living space. 
Great location within walking distance of Barton Springs and Zilker Park. Beautiful area. Close to downtown, as well.
Sean made sure we had everything we needed and offered plenty of suggestions for things to do and places to go. He made the entire stay easy for us. Highly recommended."
433996,26005395,2015-02-01,9186844,Chris,"The loft was great - lots of natural light, comfortable and very clean. Near to Zilker park, hiking trails and bars and restaurants. Access to the apartment was a snap! And Sean was very helpful and responsive. Great stay!"
433996,27196002,2015-02-28,16109002,Molly B.,"Our host left us the key code to the apartment. We never met Sean, but feel very kindly toward him for providing such lovely accommodations. The apartment is all newly furnished. It's so light and airy that you'll need to cover your eyes at night if you need dark to sleep in. The bed is very comfortable. Having two bathrooms is a plus. The porch/deck gets morning sun. The kitchen works well. 
 We took to calling our apartment 'the catbird seat'. it's up the hill from Zilker Park, which we visited every day. It's up the hill from some iconic Austin restaurants as well, and the convenience store next door even carries the New York Times."
433996,27343890,2015-03-02,27258958,Mia,Love this place! Great location! It's close to all the good spots. Very clean. The two bathrooms are convenient. It has a very modern look and feel. Bed is comfortable.  I was impressed. Overall very pleasant stay.
433996,27545082,2015-03-07,27649926,Mariea,"This condo was clean and comfortable for my friend and I during our stay in Austin. We did notice that the couch was different than the one pictured, and the back cushions are detached and fall off when you lean back on them. Other than that, you couldn't ask for a better location; there are plenty of restaurants in the area and a gorgeous park/trail right down the hill. The neighborhood is quiet and a short car ride to anywhere else in the city."
433996,32141331,2015-05-14,29152185,Daniel,"Good place to stay and overall, very accurate description of the place. Very central and close to everything including Zilker. "
433996,32712622,2015-05-20,22783736,Sydney,This loft was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay during our honeymoon in Austin! It is so close to so many great places and the neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet. The loft itself is very cute and comfortable! It's perfect if you want to go out and enjoy all of the awesome things Austin has to offer or if you just want to chill and hang out and watch movies. I will definitely try to stay here the next time I'm in Austin!
433996,32852546,2015-05-22,15156589,Holly,Sean's place was perfect for a stay in Austin. The loft is cozy and well-equipped with everything you might possibly need. Very conveniently located for a quick shot to downtown and great restaurants nearby. I would definitely highly recommend his place. Making arrangements with him was a breeze and his flexibility on the check-in time was especially appreciated.
433996,33229050,2015-05-26,11640261,Bailee,"Sean was great about responding to emails before our arrival. The condo was clean and cool when we arrived, and the key code situation made life easy. We loved the location and were able to use Uber and car2go to get around town easily with the condo as our homebase. The condo is perfect for two people, three could fit in a tight squeeze. 

The corner store next door was SO CONVENIENT with a great selection of everything you might need. 

We were in Austin during the storms over Memorial Day, so our proximity to Barton Springs gave us some really neat opportunities to witness the effects, and the fact that the condo has Apple TV with Netflix and HBOGo made our lives much less boring when the weather had us locked indoors."
433996,33912712,2015-06-02,4228568,Nora,"We had a great time staying at Sean's apartment. It was clean and spacious and located close to the park and nice bars & foodtrucks. It was about a 15 minute walk to the nearest Austin B-cycle point, from where we could easily cover the whole city by bike. Sean was very friendly and helpful. When, last-minute, we asked if we could stay for another hour after check-out, to wait for our pick-up, this was no problem, even though the cleaning of the apartment already started. For some small grocery shopping there was a store next door, which was handy as well (just a bit expensive ;)). The kitchen was well-equipped!"
433996,34719247,2015-06-11,31084229,Becca,"Fantastic!  Sean made us feel at home with all the details...note on the fridge, binder full of information on the apartment and area, local decorations with map, and even bottled water in the fridge.  Would absolutely stay at this apartment again!"
433996,35533848,2015-06-19,25498817,Devin,The host canceled this reservation 126 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

433996,37048634,2015-07-04,25061321,Alex,"Conveniently located, updated, cozy loft.  Great communication with host and on-site manager.  Highly recommend.  Most comfortable for a single person or a couple.  "
433996,37878309,2015-07-11,27241523,Danielle,"Sean's place was perfect for a visit to check out Austin! It's walkable to Barton Springs and downtown, right along the river path. The loft was comfortable and accommodating for two of us. We enjoyed our stay."
433996,38856015,2015-07-19,16507651,Brandon,Great place to stay in a great location. Awesome place! Would definitely stay there again when I go back to Austin. Host was very accessible.
433996,40189462,2015-07-28,37630754,Will,"Great place to stay! Very good experience.  No hassle, no problems!  Sean was very quick and ready to accommodate."
433996,43065632,2015-08-17,3531819,Lucy,"We had a great stay at Sean's place. It is exactly as described. Very clean and comfortable. We especially love being able to walk to Barton Springs. The only thing I missed is there is no full length mirror. Just a minor thing. It is a great place,would definitely stay again."
433996,43564067,2015-08-20,14724021,Siri,"Hello, great apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. Minutes to downtown, restaurants, walk to barton springs, and much much more. Really clean apartment and magnificent views!!!! "

Would recommend "
433996,46372185,2015-09-10,15608559,Danielle,"Sean's loft was a wonderful place to spend our week in Austin. We loved the location, and found it very easy to walk or bike to most of the places on our list of things to do. We had a car, too, and found that we didn't really need to use the mopac to get around. Loved the onsite parking. 
Amenities were great- everything was as described/pictured if not even better!  Laundry facilities are available in the building, and conveniently take credit cards.  
Highly recommend this property, and would love to stay again!"
433996,48285942,2015-09-25,19565014,Emily,"Really great place in a great neighborhood. The apartment is clean, bright, and spacious. The little market next door has all of the essentials, and the running trails in Zilker Park just a block away are really phenomenal (and safe). Nice patio overlooking the city skyline. I'll definitely stay here again."
433996,48560479,2015-09-27,554536,Hazuki,"A great little apartment in Austin

I couldn't ask for anything better location wise--within easy walking distance of Barton Springs and Zilker Park. It's even a nice shaded walk along the lake to downtown area if you like walking. The neighborhood is cute, quiet, and has a small grocery store next door. 

The apartment is clean and comfortable with a great bed!! The balcony is cute and has a great little view of downtown Austin, and is only slightly marred by the fact that the aircon unit dumps hot air out onto it, but if you don't mind turning the aircon off, it's perfect!

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to stay in Austin!"
433996,50099945,2015-10-09,44103835,Jimmy,Awesome! Great location and incredible loft. User friendly and very easy to locate. The AC really helped us with the warm weather and we loved having two bathrooms. Check out Barton Springs Pool and even the creek on the green belt (if it isn't of course dry)! Thanks for a great stay! 
433996,51762727,2015-10-24,11243486,Beth,The apartment was exactly as advertised. The location was excellent. The kitchen was full equipped. Parking was very easy. Extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The view from the balcony was gorgeous.
3654039,16518828,2014-07-28,1717854,Delara,We stayed at Dani's house for a girls trip to Austin. The place was even better than the pictures! It was extremely convenient with the lockbox! The apt was very clean and the beds were really comfortable. I will definitely be staying at this property or their other properties next time! Thanks Dani! 
3654039,21527944,2014-10-19,21481515,Denny,"This was a great home to stay in for a perfect Austin experience. As someone who used to live in Austin, I can attest you're getting a great location and fabulous neighborhood. The house was well stocked with everything we could possibly need - even baby spoons! (Which I had just happened to forget.)  We cooked a lot while there and the kitchen was great, from the cookware to the dishes. The patio was lovely, the living area comfy and we slept so well. The pictures portray the house very well. I didn't want to leave!"
3654039,21879813,2014-10-26,8792275,Michael Charles,"The host was very responsive and when I arrived and the place was immaculate, there was quiet music was playing, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. I want to know where she got them! Also the neighborhood is relaxed and quiet; lots of trees, rolling hills, and families. I was in town for a wedding so I didn't have much of a chance to see the area other than South Congress for breakfast and some quick shopping, but Uber cars were able to find the place quickly and it is close to the downtown area. This place is definitely the right price compared to some of the hotels in town. Also not prominently pictured on the listing is an adorable little outdoor area with a little garden and patio furniture perfect for an afternoon chess match (I lost, naturally). Will be staying here again if I ever come back to Austin! "
3654039,26528833,2015-02-15,25695137,Dominic,My girlfriend and I stayed for a long weekend and loved the house. It fits into Austin perfectly. It is clean and well decorated. The location is a three minute drive from south congress and 6 minutes to downtown.  Would recommend to friends and would definitely stay here again. 
3654039,27680003,2015-03-09,8555527,Betsy,"We have stayed in the Travis Heights neighborhood once before, at another of Dani's properties.  This space was as fabulous as the last one.  The living area is open and inviting; the beds are very comfortable; absolutely everything that we needed was provided for us; all is spotless.  Communication with Dani was prompt and clear.  She couldn't have been more helpful.  The location is perfect for  our needs.  We will always seek out Dani as a host when we're in Austin."
3654039,28123861,2015-03-18,26479305,Laura,"Dani & Joel are the perfect hosts -  everything was organized, clean and they were available to answer any questions we had.
The apartment is absolutely perfect with everything you may need -  I love feeling like I was at a home away from home.
The area is super safe & quiet, yet only a 10/15 mins ride into downtown and honestly a welcome break for us after a hard days work. The trendy SoCo area is only 5 mins by car and a 15 min walk.
I will definitely be coming back and staying here again!"
3654039,30235174,2015-04-19,26408300,Mike,What an incredibly fun place! The house is beautiful and very well appointed. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed for morning coffee and more! The hosts were super friendly and very quick to respond. The entry directions were very detailed. It was easy to feel right at home! We will definitely be staying on our future visits to Austin! Cheers Mike and Ashley 
3654039,30470000,2015-04-22,12075195,Jon,"Great neighborhood with many great  restaurants, bars, music, coffee, etc. within walking distance.  The home is a contender for the top ten in Austin.  Comfortable, VERY tastefully furnished, well equipped kitchen, washer & dryer, very private, outside seating/eating porch.  Communication with Dani and Joel was clear and they were responsive to any questions we had.  House manual was, as my wife just said, phenomenal!   Not only house instructions, but a VERY helpful lists of everything from grocery stores to the Whip In (don't miss it!!).  FIVE STARS!!"
3654039,33694960,2015-05-31,11728825,Nelly,"Wonderful stay!  We loved the place.  Exactly as pictured.  Cozy, quiet, clean and uplifting.  Worked out perfectly for us and our toddler.  Loved the neighborhood and the home.  "
3654039,38183098,2015-07-13,1717854,Delara,"This was our second time staying at Dani's home and it was fantastic! The home is BEAUTIFUL and in the perfect location. 

-Beds are super comfortable
-Keyless entry is extremely convenient for groups
- Love the design
- BBQ and patio are great! 

Thank you for another great weekend! 

"
3654039,51089315,2015-10-17,4609226,Tamara,"My husband, father and I stayed at Dani and Joel's place for nearly two weeks. It was a lovely home away from home with all the amenities one needs for an extended stay. I'd definitely stay there again."
1954814,10934592,2014-03-13,8110663,Larry,Felicia was a wonderful host during a crazy SXSW week. The bed was very comfortable and the wi-fi was fast. I also had some great coffee in the morning. This room is a great find if you need a place in Austin and want to be out of the madness of downtown. 
1954814,12404614,2014-05-01,8551719,Padraic,"Great experience, clean and comfortable!  Austin really is beautiful in the spring and this house is not far from entrances into the greenbelt.  Felicia knows all the rad places around town, and her dog Jack will always greet you at the door.  "
1954814,14878906,2014-06-28,9289591,Vincent,Felicia was a great host! Very friendly and her dog Jack loves to play :) I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice neighborhood and good company. 
1954814,18729907,2014-08-31,12294923,Tiffani,Felicia was absolutely awesome during my stay at her place. The location was great as well... I had no problem getting into downtown for work and/or play. The house is very adorable and Jack (the dog of the house) is such a cutie. There's a Whole Foods around the corner as well as several restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again!
1954814,20932404,2014-10-07,7224380,Rebecca,Felicia was very prompt in communicating with me before my arrival. Comfortable room/bed in a quiet suburban neighborhood. Location provided easy access to roads leading to Zilker Park for ACL Fest (15min or less). Also very cool photographs on all walls. Her dog is adorable and very obedient. I enjoyed my stay. 
1954814,40617998,2015-08-01,36821922,Andre,Felicia is an awesome hostess and her dog Jack is the best. I've thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend staying here to all. 
1954814,52704551,2015-11-01,31043815,Sahil,Felicia was the most accommodating and I had a wonderful experience living with her. The house is fantastic. Jack was a sweetheart and a really intelligent dog. I highly recommend staying here when visiting Austin.
4224515,20886221,2014-10-06,22070188,Chris,"Monica was a wonderful host! She was extremely cooperative with our last minute booking.We booked this spacious, well-kept home for ACL and had a great experience. Monica left snacks/drinks/toiletries for us to use and there were no issues with anything! Would definitely recommend."
4224515,22617897,2014-11-10,22216511,Kristen,Monica made out stay very easy! She was easy to communicate with and left us snacks and drinks! I will be staying here next time I make a trip to austin! 
4224515,26318128,2015-02-09,9508871,Zenobia,"Monica's home is so lovely. Lots of natural light and art everywhere. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome by leaving snacks and beverages and being available by text when I had a question about anything. The neighborhood is perfect. Tucked away on a quiet street, but just off S. Lamar where you can find tons of great restaurants and coffee shops. Would definitely stay here again!"
4224515,27359243,2015-03-02,27183555,Tony,Monica was very nice and welcoming. The home was impeccable and as charming or more than the pictures present. Definitely a 10 out of 10!
4224515,27995056,2015-03-16,25791520,Zach,"The house was clean, bright and comfortable. The backyard was a great spot to sit and have a drink. The location was perfect for our family on a quiet street with easy access to S. Lamar and S. Congress. Within walking distance there are a few great restaurants and shops and a great coffee/beer spot. The host was very kind and accommodation. Thanks!"
4224515,28083529,2015-03-17,837301,Joyce,"Even more amazing than the pictures if that is even possible. Monica was a great host from beginning to end. She was always punctual and very quick to respond to any questions. I felt completely at ease, even before my trip began! Her home is absolutely gorgeous. My friends and I oohed and ahhed over the artwork and personal touches around the house. After a long day at SXSW, it was wonderful to spend the evening in such a calming and beautiful space. Monica's goes above and beyond in terms of hospitality. She left snacks, water, coffee, soaps, and shampoos for us to use. I had the most amazing experience at this home and would definitely stay again. I really can't say enough good things about my stay and about Monica!"
4224515,28201967,2015-03-20,25438615,Maggie,The home was lovely and the pictures were accurate.  You can't go wrong renting this property. I appreciated that Monica left soap and shampoo and snacks. She's a great host. She kept in touch even though she was on holiday herself.
4224515,28390029,2015-03-23,26841712,Kristen,"I could not imagine a more perfect place to stay! We chose Monica's place for a bachelorette weekend, and she even left us snacks and a wi-fi password.  She left us clean towels, fresh sheets and blankets, and the place was spotless.  The house was even better than the photos, and made for amazing photos of all of us girls. The house was easily accessible and the perfect location, near everything.  

At one point our cars were blocking the neighbors' driveway and Monica was so great about the situation, she sent me a message and we moved the cars, and there was no further problem. The Taxi's didn't have a problem finding the place at all, and it was a short ride into the heart of the city.  

There were 6 of us girls in the house, and it was plenty big enough.  The bathrooms were immaculate and the bedrooms were spacious.  Plenty of space to let all of us get ready for the night out. 

Could not have asked for a better first experience with AirBnB"
4224515,29974998,2015-04-15,28369399,David,"Monica was very outgoing in welcoming us to Austin and her property, offering helpful suggestions and extending her availability for more assistance, if necessary"
4224515,45858864,2015-09-06,42338534,Jennifer,"Monica's home was absolutely lovely! It's just like the pictures, and if not, it's actually better. I went to Austin for my 21st birthday, and she even texted me happy birthday the day of. She left us clean towels, muffins, and a very nice note. I recommend her house to anyone who's looking to stay in Austin. This was my first airbnb experience and it was just wonderful. Monica has definitely set the bar for other rentable homes in Austin. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Monica!"
4224515,45985815,2015-09-07,40446335,Mary,"The house was even better than the pictures plus it had everything we needed and more. 7 adults stayed in the house and we had
plenty of room. 

Monica made an incredible host - she was easy to reach via text and very flexible. Snacks and drinks were in the fridge upon our arrival- she really went above and beyond in terms of making us feel welcome. We hope to stay in her home again in the future :) "
4224515,49600076,2015-10-05,38080216,Garrett,"Very beautiful, clean, modern home. Excellent experience in quiet neighborhood. Monica was extremely attentive and helpful. She made herself available for us and was responsive. Fantastic experience and would recommend this home to anyone I know going to Austin."
4224515,52211897,2015-10-27,27322407,Thomas,"Monica's place was clean, refreshing, well located and overall provided a great stay. The house provided clean linens throughout, and was very clean overall, just the way a place should be stay that will be hosting guests. The house itself is located in a great, quiet area, near shopping, restaurants, grocery store, anything you could need in the area is within walking distance or a quick drive. Easy access to the freeway system as well. Monica was a great host and made sure that we had everything we needed, and had plenty of suggestions of what to do in the area and in Austin. Amazing host and house!"
4224515,52815446,2015-11-02,34076456,Shirley,"Monica was the most gracious host ever.  She went out of her way to ensure that we felt welcome, even making a birthday cake for my daughter and leaving the fridge well stocked with drinks.  She texted to make sure we had everything we needed.  The rental was every bit as cute as the pictures showed and was clean and well maintained.  Monica showed flexibility on the check in time and was very easy to work with and accommodating.  She even mailed me a necklace that I left behind!  "
5486187,28343203,2015-03-22,1479722,Kevin,"The stay at Constance's apartment was great! The house was extremely clean, and had full use of the unit- including a washer and dryer, which is great to have when you are traveling. Only negative was that I couldn't get into the apartment gym, other than that it was great. "
5486187,31405169,2015-05-04,32200655,Andrew,"Constance was very communicative before my visit which made my first Airbnb experience a great success! Her apartment was exactly as it was described in the listing.  It is spacious, comfortable, and very clean.  It's also very conveniently located in the city. I really can't think of anything that could have been better!"
5486187,32596211,2015-05-19,28690858,Joe,"We had a great stay.  Thank you, Constance, for the detailed, accurate information."
5486187,34507272,2015-06-08,34772695,Julie,Constance's apartment was lovely for our stay. It was in an extremely convenient location and very clean and accommodating. The breakfast basket was a nice touch. 
5486187,36631626,2015-06-29,12038216,Jorge,Constance was a terrific host.  She gave us clear directions to her lovely home and was extremely helpful with any questions we had.  She surprised us with a little basket of treats in her fridge upon our arrival.  The location was as described and it was perfectly situated near all of the action on South Congress.
5486187,37395208,2015-07-06,25733987,Craig,Constance was excellent from the word go. A quick replier and extremely helpful. She sent us more than enough instructions and made everything implicitly clear. The apartment was perfect for the weekend and could have been home for months. Extremely clean and a great location. We will be back before summer is out! 
5486187,42194622,2015-08-11,40403609,Morgan,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5486187,51368156,2015-10-19,45942283,Tony,Constance Airbnb was AMAZING!! Words can't even describe how perfect it was. My guest and I would totally recommend and stay at this bnb again. 
224603,555743,2011-09-21,288698,Rebecca,"My husband and I stayed at David's this weekend during ACL. This was our first time in Austin. When we arrived at David's loft we felt very welcome, which is important when visiting a new city. His loft is very nice and modern. It's clean, private and had everything we could have asked for. It's perfect for anyone searching for an affordable place with a convenient location. It was close to every hot spot we wanted to check out! There was so much to see and do we didn't know where to start!!! David was very friendly and helpful!! He made us feel right at home. I would recommend his loft to anyone! We plan to move to Austin early next year. Also, next month (October), we plan on going back to Austin on vacation We would definitely stay at David's again. Why waste your money on a hotel when you could rent a place like this at such a great price?!?! Thanks David - The skylights are the cherry on top. We'll be in touch!"
224603,594991,2011-10-03,1206190,Luke,"David was pleasant and easy to communicate with. The room was a small but beautiful and carefully designed space, reminds me of hotel rooms in northern Europe  -with a full kitchen, a nice flat screen TV, and cool ceiling windows that you can stick your head out of. The location is in the middle of everything in Hyde park, with lots of trees all around.  

The room is a converted upper floor attic, and the stairway leading to it is steep -almost a ladder.  While we did not mind this (my kids thought it was fun) it might prove challenging for some, especially if they were carrying bags.  I would not have my parents stay here."
224603,617247,2011-10-10,1246947,Jeanna,"My husband and I just got home from a weekend at David's space. We had a really peaceful stay in this clean and quiet loft. Great neighborhood, we walked to most of our meals as well as to the grocery store. David was quick to answer any needs we had (he even made a trip out to bring us coffee- very kind.) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a retreat from the clutter of life. The layout and overall feel was lovely and well thought out. Lots of great movies on demand, walking distance to all things wonderful, and great host. The two huge skylight windows open up to enormous old oak trees and the sound of birds, the parking was easy, the location is ideal. We will be back. "
224603,656732,2011-10-23,323434,Kelly,Very cool place with attention to detail.  Only stayed one night. We loved the little kitchen - will bring some things for the fridge next time and perhaps have time for the hot tub!  
224603,671650,2011-10-28,35413,Paul,David was very accommodating and a great host and I would use his place again in a heartbeat. The modern loft is exactly what it is.... very unique and a great place to stay!
224603,674620,2011-10-29,1111765,Thomas,"Letting made on very short notice, but was easy and simple to arrange and David was accommodating. Very friendly house, even gave us some good advice on how to park in town and some good restaurants to try out. The flat is finished to the absolute highest quality with some really nice little finishes (especially the bathroom). The addition of a TV on demand system in the room with a wide selection of movies and TV shows was a welcome, added bonus!"
224603,686477,2011-11-02,1180320,Janine,Wonderful apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. 
224603,705426,2011-11-09,412587,Laura,"My boyfriend and I stayed for five nights. It's an adorable place, and David made it a great experience. Highly recommended! "
224603,719825,2011-11-14,450090,Jason,"Great place!!! Cool area, totally smooth experience. Would do again!"
224603,18906044,2014-09-02,19869257,Antonio,"Great location for a weekend getaway.  Quiet neighborhood within a short driving distance to a lot of Austin hotspots. Hosts were very helpful and communication was great.  Studio loft was very comfortable and had just about everything we needed (e.g. leather couch, papasan, full kitchen, flat screen TV, comfortable bed).  Stairs leading up to the loft are a tad steep, but manageable.  Head space around the restroom was not an issue for someone about 5'10"", may be cutting it close around the 6' mark.  Thank you very much to the hosts for a wonderful weekend, I would definitely recommend and use again.  "
224603,19245807,2014-09-08,5881905,Toni,It's a great place. It's small but cozy and has all the essentials you need. Everything was clean and just as described in the listing. I would definitely stay again. 
224603,19743294,2014-09-17,10830460,Matt,"Our week-long stay in David and Kristy's loft was great. The space is very architectural, modern, clean, well-stocked with all of the necessities and then some. Cooktop, microwave, oven, toaster, coffeemaker, dishes, cookware, paper towels, tissues, etc. Modern lighting, fixtures and TV/Netflix setup. It was also more than enough living and closet space for my girlfriend and I even though it's a studio.

We went to Austin not knowing any areas or neighborhoods at all and took a shot in the dark - we got very lucky. The Hyde Park area turned out to be our favorite spot in the city, and this place is right in the center. Easy access to great food and late-night snacks. Very safe, quiet, clean neighborhood right off of the freeway for quick commutes around town.

The very steep stair/ladder entrance and low ceilings have been mentioned before and we didn't have any problems; but if you have heavy suitcases, wear high heels, or drink a lot in the evenings.. it could be a problem.

I highly recommend this space for those visiting Austin who aren't in to the whole 'rustic' 'barn' 'cottage' thing. It was a great sanctuary from the 100+ heat and heavy rain that we got while there. Happy to stay inside :)"
224603,20451665,2014-09-29,6289927,Philana,Kristy welcomed us to the condo and explained clearly the details of the condo. It is a beautifully designed space . Every aspect is comfortable. We loved  being able to walk to our favorite breakfast bakery The  Quack and surrounding restaurants. Kristy is very easy to communicate with and flexible. I highly recommend this as a great place to stay.  It is cozy and sleek!
224603,20830193,2014-10-06,19676018,Evan,"We really enjoyed our stay with David and Kristy. Kristy was extremely helpful and courteous.The loft was clean, modern, and the perfect fit for our ACL vacation. The loft is in a great location for exploring Austin and there is a bus line within walking distance. We would recommend this rental to friends and look forward to future visits. "
224603,21041912,2014-10-10,21189178,Nathan,"Very comfortable, quiet loft with full kitchen. Hosts were helpful and gracious."
224603,21284765,2014-10-14,477658,Cain,"I've been using AirBnB for nearly four years and this listing is by far the coolest place I've ever booked. The ""loft"" is sleek & modern, spare yet not lacking in any amenity, small but spacious enough for two people to stay comfortably for an extended period of time. The sloping ceiling may prove to be a problem for the taller among us, but it was great part of the character of the place. I was never bothered or annoyed by either the ceiling or the steep staircase (which could be described as ladder-like).

I absolutely love this place and would definitely like to stay here again!"
224603,21659872,2014-10-21,20768741,Julia,"My mom stayed in David and Kristy's apartment. She loved it! The place is so cozy and well-equipped. They really thought of everything. The mattress was super comfortable. David and Kristy were very nice and helpful too. We had a question during the weekend and they responded within minutes. Also, the apartment is in a great neighborhood. Very cute and walking distance to many things. I highly recommend staying here! "
224603,22103006,2014-10-30,13935836,Kumar,The hosts were very responsive. The instructions were very easy to use. The apartment is exactly like in the picture. The lights are amazing and the loft windows open up for sunlight. Thanks for the stay.  
224603,22292659,2014-11-03,19708219,Karen,"David is a great host, helping us by printing our tickets and answering our questions. The loft is beautifully designed, especially if you are under 5'10"". It was quiet, even on Hallowe'en. We appreciated the use of Netflix and the separate entrance. 
The location is easily accessible. We drove and tried transit. A 5 min drive to Stiles Switch BBQ and a short walk to the awesome bakery and cheese shop on Duval. "
224603,22515281,2014-11-08,11341204,Chris,"This was a really fun and cozy place to stay in Austin. It's small but has everything one could need: internet, TV, kitchen, full bed, bathroom, shower. David and Kristy were very helpful and attentive and the experience was great. "
224603,22579964,2014-11-10,15740790,Caitlin,"I would highly recommend staying here. The loft was very clean and comfortable and easily accommodated two guests. The bed, tucked away, was extremely comfortable, and we appreciated the small touches, such as a white noise machine and modern lighting system. While David and Kristy were not in town during our stay, they were readily available to contact and left all necessary information. The loft was in a good location-- quiet, safe neighborhood and a short cab ride to campus and downtown."
224603,22985267,2014-11-19,15376262,Judith,Great loft in a great neighborhood. Perfect cozy space for two people. David and Kristy responded quickly to our questions and concerns.
224603,23151112,2014-11-24,3720050,George Michael,"I booked David and Kristy's loft for visiting family, and they loved the space. The apartment was so neat and spotless that my brother and his partner were convinced that they were the first guests to stay there. David and Kristy go out of their way to make guests welcome and comfortable. The Modern Studio Loft is a great retreat in a wonderful neighborhood."
224603,23383335,2014-11-30,15729962,Rosalie,Very convenient to our daughter's house. Truly beautiful ultra-modern loft with subtle entry way.
224603,23702800,2014-12-08,539806,Inti,"This loft was exactly as great as expected; super nice and clean. We fell in love with the neighborhood, and Austin in general. Though we didn't meet David in person all of our virtual interaction with he and Kristy both was great. Kristy was lovely when we checked in, and we're actually sorry we didn't happen to run into either one of them again in person. "
224603,23876853,2014-12-13,2394658,Robin,Wonderful spot that has been very thoughtfully designed by the owner. I really loved this getaway. I only wished I had more time to hang out and enjoy all of its charms! 
224603,24384492,2014-12-27,3524200,Jason,"I had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hosts had thought of every little comfort for the apartment, and it was as comfortable as it was convenient. I enjoyed the modern touches, and the location was perfect. When I am visiting Austin again this is the first place I'll check. "
224603,25334683,2015-01-12,25043992,Tuvy,"David and Kristy's loft was the cherry on top of our weekend get away! it has the perfect modern touch, very cozy, quiet and really perfect for us! Full kitchen amenities, great cozy bed, two sky lights in the ceiling, big screen tv with netflix and a nice couch to go with it.
The communication was there-- via text or airbnb, we never had any issues getting in contact with Kristy. 
The location of this loft made it easy for us to get around to different restaurants, bars, and it conveniently has a Walgreens not even a mile down for convenience store items! 
Book a stay here... You won't regret it. It's pretty awesome :)"
224603,26683528,2015-02-17,25361818,Natasha,"Kristy and David were amazing hosts for our weekend stay in Austin ! Kristy met us upon arrival and was so kind and made sure we had all the info we needed. She walked us through the loft and made us feel welcomed. 
The loft itself was absolutely amazing ! Had everything we needed and more for a weekend stay. We would definitely love to come back and stay again for future visits to Austin. "
224603,26994874,2015-02-23,26472613,Jaclyn,"We had a wonderful time staying at this modern studio loft.  It was clean, inviting, and high tech! We loved every minute of it and would certainly stay there again when visiting Austin. :)"
224603,27250966,2015-03-01,221550,R. Michael,Fun loft not far from downtown and close to a lot of different neighborhood dining options. The hosts were quick to respond and helped us store our bags when checking out. Had a great stay and would recommend to all.
224603,27591500,2015-03-08,27331550,Mica,"Kristy is extremely kind and immediately made me feel welcome. She even put together a little guide book of Austin with handy numbers and maps! Even though I didn't have a need to contact her during my stay, I knew I felt comfortable doing so if I did. The loft was adorable and clean and exactly as advertised-- there were even chocolates on the pillows! 10/10 will rent again."
224603,27722625,2015-03-10,26972279,Erin,"The modern studio loft was just as described. Perfect unit for a weekend getaway with my boyfriend. The hosts were very responsive and everything regarding the stay was clearly communicated. As my first Air BnB experience, I give it ab A+"

224603,27889799,2015-03-14,28185231,John,"Excellent stay all around.  Our hosts went the extra mile when we had delays in arriving and made us feel welcome.  Apartment is exactly as described and very well done.  It makes one feel like they are in Europe, with all the amenities in the loft space.  Microwave, stove, oven... everything we could have needed was available.  The neighborhood is cute and close to everything we wanted to do.  Fantastic place and hosts.  Would recommend to anyone."
224603,28119618,2015-03-18,2567554,Ward,"David and Kristy's Studio Loft is a small gem in the Austin Hyde Park area. It's spotlessly clean, very new and modern, with  a real design feel to it. The communication was fast and flawless and the video to show the check-in procedure is a a find I'd wish more people would use!

Only downside would be for people over 1 meter 85. Then the bed and part of the room might start to feel too cosy... 
Area is great too, with good restaurants and coffee bars nearby.

"
224603,28380365,2015-03-23,1151532,Kalyn,"One of the coolest airbnb locations we've ever stayed. David and Kristy were extremely helpful and very attentive from start to finish. The space is small but designed so well that it didn't feel that way. We even had 2 extra guests over the weekend that used an air mattress. Extremely clean, plenty of storage, and very private. We found the kitchen, bathroom, and entire space to be more than adequate. Everything was luxurious, modern, and well-thought. 

Great location. Hyde Park ended up being our favorite neighborhood even after exploring the city and downtown areas on our rented bikes. We rented from Austin Bike Rental (can't recommend them enough!), which was far more affordable than other local shops. Plenty of coffee shops, restaurants, and yoga studios in the neighborhood and only a 15min enjoyable bike-ride to downtown. "
224603,28877838,2015-03-31,655974,Daniel,"David and Kristy's loft was the perfect choice for our last trip to Austin. They've created a beautiful and comfortable space, and provided very clear check-in instructions before we arrived. The loft is very well equipped and stayed remarkably cool during the day. We'll be back!"
224603,29396563,2015-04-07,27272848,Rob,Had a fantastic stay here! All the comforts of home and just a $10 uber to anywhere in downtown austin. Only had the pleasure of meeting Kristy once (at check in) but she was warm and informative. The Hyde Park neighborhood had it's own unique pleasures as well. We very much recommend the Hyde Park Bar and Grille for it's terrific dinners and weekend brunch (also a short walk from the apartment).  
224603,29860126,2015-04-13,29814285,Harbir,David's and Kristy's place was homey and great for exploring Austin. Close to downtown and close to many eateries. They gave us all the information and utilities we would need. Great stay.
224603,30053076,2015-04-16,5135138,Geoff,"Great place with some beautiful renovations, also very creative use of space. Everything was clean and well kept. Location was a nice quiet residential street. You will hear the other moving around below on lower floors at times but it's not bad at all. 

Only real challenges are the stairs and height restrictions. The stairs are almost more like a ladder so you definitely need to be steady on your feet to get into and especially out of this place. Also, I'm not sure if I would've enjoyed this place as much if I were over 6 feet tall as I bumped my head a few times getting out of bed. 

But given that you're getting a whole apartment for essentially the price of just a room that you'd get from other listings, AND you get to use a cool secret door to enter the space, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Austin."
224603,30303425,2015-04-20,24716337,Ashley,"We had a great stay in David & Kristy's studio! The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but also super close to everything and only a quick 10 minute drive downtown. Everything in the studio is nice and organized but easy to find as well. The floorplan is perfect and everything is utilized very well. Tons of storage to keep your stuff in and they even have K-cups and oatmeal. They were very accommodating. Although I would have loved to say hello, we didn't get a chance to! Thank you for being such gracious hosts and letting us stay there!"
224603,30482927,2015-04-22,9746713,Emily,David and Kristy's loft was very cozy and extremely comfortable. It is in a great part of town!  I would gladly stay again!
224603,30935742,2015-04-29,27053180,Jessica,"David and Kristy's loft was perfect and pristine and the bed was very comfortable! Even though they were out of town when we arrived, they sent us a video with the information about the loft and what we needed to get in. During our stay, we found that we spent most of our time in South Austin so we had to Uber there every day. Other than that, it was great!"
224603,31467174,2015-05-05,13978402,Frances,"Lovely little place in a wonderful neighborhood; small, but perfect for what we needed. Everything was very clean & well kept. Kristy was very responsive from the beginning, super organized, and provided us with all the information we needed. We had a great time!"
224603,32409389,2015-05-17,32871983,Ulf,"Davids and Kristy’s loft is a great little place and an excellent example of how to make the most of limited space. It is indeed very modern and a nice touch is how all the light can be controlled and dimmed. It gets quite hot in the evenings, but the aircon is very gentle and silent, and works like a charm. The neighbourhood is full of old houses and massive trees and offers a relaxed atmosphere, but with cafés and shopping close by. We were very pleased with the flexibility that we could check-in ourselves and found everything self-explanatory and in perfect order. Finally, we got swift replies in the communication with David and Kristy.
"
224603,33102838,2015-05-25,7054790,Rosalind,It was all I cld ask for they are extremely well organized and thoughtful
224603,35917138,2015-06-23,13379131,Andrew,I had a very nice month-long stay in this stylish apartment.  Kristy and David were  available and helpful in dealing with a couple of minor issues and were very friendly.  I would stay here again and probably will next summer.  
224603,37327964,2015-07-06,19008020,Katherine,"Kristy and David were wonderful hosts! They acclimated us to their loft and provided us with answers to all our questions.  The loft is small but beautifully decorated and equipped with dimmer lights, adequate fans/air conditioning, frig, stove top and oven - all the necessities+! It is located in the university area of Austin so there are fun, eclectic eateries and shops in walking distance."
224603,38271033,2015-07-14,31511555,Kathy,We enjoyed our stay in David and Kristy's apartment. The apartment was very clean.  The neighborhood is nice and in a good location.  We would stay there again. 
224603,40690412,2015-08-01,427363,Chris,"David and Kristy made me feel very welcome, when i stayed in their awesome modern loft. They were very accommodating, and replied instantly when I reserved the place the same day as arrival.  Although the place is very ""cozy"", it had a great vibe and ambience."
224603,42679840,2015-08-15,34836776,Gracia,The loft was very cozy and at a pretty good location. It was very clean and sleek. Overall I had a great stay. 
224603,44525313,2015-08-27,10236255,John Bolin,"Nice place, nice people, nice location. "
224603,45137230,2015-08-31,8847927,Phillip,"The space is beautiful, and cleverly designed. It is a studio, but feels like a larger apartment due to the way it is laid out. Everything seems new, and the studio was very clean. Very convenient for 2 nights, but we would have been comfortable there for a long stay. Thanks to the hosts for making this place available and welcoming, and giving us some tips about the area!"
224603,47159332,2015-09-16,5607409,Jordan,David and Kristy's place was lovely. The flat is finished to a very high standard. David was around to greet us and show us the basics when we arrived and their little guide book was very helpful. The flat was in a nice neighbourhood with a few bus stops close by for easy downtown access. Would stay there again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks
224603,51487715,2015-10-20,4186139,Robert,"David and Kristy were extremely responsive and the property was  very clean and organized. Excellent location, easy parking. Would highly recommend!"
224603,52257941,2015-10-27,7289344,Nicholas,Really enjoyed staying at David and Kristys place. Great location and pretty snazzy setup. Would recommend!
4309270,22329827,2014-11-03,13786293,Garret,"Erica was wonderful to work with.  She provided clear instructions on checking in and out and was extremely quick to respond to any question or request that we had.  The property was very nice and spacious for the 10 that we had staying there.  The only downside is the location of the property.  If your group desires to walk to restaurants/attractions during your stay in Austin, this is not the property for you.  The neighborhood is actually a little dangerous.  However, there is parking enough for 4-6 vehicles off of the street and gates that can be closed and locked.  I'd still say that this property is a great value and would actually stay here again.  It's definitely a good property to consider if you are OK with short Uber/Lyft/Cab rides to the place that are of interest to you.  Overall, a very comfortable stay.  I'm very impressed with TurnKey."
4309270,30284425,2015-04-20,629759,David,"Our stay at Erica's place was fantastic! Super easy and had no issues getting in to the house. The only slight issue was with the WiFi, but that was expertly resolved in less than 5 minutes. Thanks for the help."
4309270,30758750,2015-04-27,26321574,Kathryn,We had a wonderful experience at this house.  It looked just like the pictures in person.  It was a great price and a lovely house.  We would definitely book it again. 
4309270,33773774,2015-06-01,14415511,David,The house was great and there was easy access directions. And the location to downtown Austin was very convenient. However the neighborhood the house was located in was not the nicest. Other than that no complaints whatsoever. 
4309270,35066329,2015-06-15,26863987,Andrew,"Erica provided complimentary early check-in and late check-out, which was much appreciated given we had people traveling from various locations across the country.  The house was exactly as described.  The neighborhood is not the best (in the midst of a gentrification push by the looks of it), however, we had no problems with anyone in the area.  I would recommend the house if traveling to Austin!"
4309270,39932058,2015-07-27,2581933,Morgan,"We loved renting this property! It was perfect for our bachelorette weekend. The decor was adorable and the place was pretty clean. We had a little trouble finding the place in the beginning but once I looked back at Erica's instructions, I was able to find it. I would definitely recommend this property!"
4309270,40984204,2015-08-03,21069985,Kevin,The place was clean and well-maintained. Close to many restaurants and to downtown Austin. Wish the wifi was faster. But overall it was a very good stay.
2193591,14069538,2014-06-10,14875655,Raymond,Glen was a great host.  Even though he was travelling he was available by text for my questions and I felt comfortable and taken care of.  Everything provided is high quality from the comfortably firm bed to the plush towels.  The neighborhood is architecturally interesting with many homes dug into the hills needing bridges for access or having very steep driveways.  It is a magical area and I was lucky to experience it for a few days.
4076557,22312436,2014-11-03,8198076,Bill,"We had a great stay for Formula 1. The house was clean and newly renovated and as advertised. Peter had supplied the house with all that we needed for our stay and even had a Formula 1 magazine waiting for us! The A/C worked very well, the beds were comfortable, the shower was strong and the bathroom clean as a whistle. The neighborhood was quiet, too. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks, Peter! "
4076557,24421649,2014-12-28,7497810,Bruce,"Your place was exactly as described. Very clean, very well appointed and extremely comfortable. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was very clean. The location was perfect. There was even a loaf of banana bread in the fridge! Thanks for the opportunity to stay at your house. We will stay with you again as we visit Austin a couple of times a year. Happy new year!"
4076557,27756646,2015-03-11,8687412,Paul,"Great place, great host. I stayed at Peter's place for an extended period of time while house-hunting. I can only say great things about the house, furnishings, amenities and location. I was completely comfortable during my time there; after only a short time feeling like I belonged. The house is centrally located, only a few minutes from just about anything I needed, and most likely anyone else's needs as well. I would be more than happy to stay with Peter again."
4076557,27909528,2015-03-14,29135493,Vincent,Peter's place was great!  We felt right at home. It was it cozy and comfortable.  In a quiet and safe neighborhood close to downtown. It was like visiting a friend's house who was out of town and happened to have left you the keys. He has thoughtfully stocked the house with every utensil that you need in a kitchen so that you can cook and bake what you want.  Highly recommended.
4076557,28073272,2015-03-17,26157218,Curtis,The Banana Bread was a nice touch and the house was as described. Great selection of movies and we had a quick commute into downtown. The beds were super comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.
4076557,28166681,2015-03-19,23574003,Rokhsan,"This place was beautiful! Location is prime - super close to the action, but in a very quiet cul-de-sac. The front yard is beautiful! The house was very clean, the couches very comfortable, the beds comfortable, and had enough personal touch to add some quirkiness, but not too much to make you feel like you're invading someone's personal space. Instructions were clear, and rules were clear as well. Will definitely look into booking Peter's spot for future endeavors!"
4076557,28388537,2015-03-23,790510,Tanya,"We stayed at Peters home in south Austin and loved it! The house was newly updated, clean and had everything we needed. Although we were there for SXSW and the traffic was crazy, we found that we could re-group and re-energize by being a few minutes out of the chaos. The neighborhood was quiet and the grackles were fun to watch from the patio. The photos that Peter has listed are exactly what you walk in to. I'd stay again when returning for SXSW. "
4076557,28854277,2015-03-30,23873541,Trey,Peter let us book at the last minute and was friendly and available as needed. Place was as described and looked great!
4076557,29460077,2015-04-07,30043168,Violet,It's a quite comfortable place ... we enjoy the stay very much ... 
4076557,29936725,2015-04-14,1197054,Andrew,"Everything was perfect for my business stay in Austin.  The house was as expected, clean and tidy and was extremely comfortable.

Neighbourhood was quiet, parking in the driveway was perfect.

Looking forward to coming back next year."
4076557,30364184,2015-04-20,31312271,Xing,Listing description was accurate.  The house was very clean and had a good location.  We had a great time!
4076557,31246505,2015-05-03,31723071,Stephanie,This place was great! Perfect location. Easy access to the airport. Nice neighborhood and close to some wonderful restaurants. Definitely would return! 
4076557,36163001,2015-06-25,20914077,Manka,The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4076557,37056307,2015-07-04,33311993,Elaine,Could not have been more comfortable.  The listing was even better than the description and pictures.
4076557,37680297,2015-07-09,35823865,Elizabeth,Peters house was GREAT.   Had a wonderful welcoming feeling.  It was in a super location for what we were looking for.  I hope we can rent it again when we return to Austin.  
4076557,38933252,2015-07-19,11546631,Alx,"(third leg if trip extended) used this as home base while house hunting. great, recommended."
4076557,39349751,2015-07-22,11546631,Alx,"Clean, well appointed, communicative host."
4076557,39706697,2015-07-25,11546631,Alx,Fantastic experience. We booked additional stays twice.
4076557,43580796,2015-08-20,21971177,Aj,Very nice place and we'll represented. Easy access in and out made it hassle free. The place was very clean and just a short drive downtown.
4076557,44232121,2015-08-24,30634101,Katherine,Adorable and comfortable house very convenient to St. Edwards. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking again with Peter soon. 
4076557,44842025,2015-08-29,14141941,D,"We had an excellent stay at Peter's house in Austin.  The home was clean, spacious, well maintained and very comfortable.  Location was great, a quick drive into downtown, as well as easy access to many restaurants on Lamar.  "
4076557,45329987,2015-09-01,962299,Joe,Nice space - even came with a friendly neighborhood chicken.
4076557,47738200,2015-09-21,41830886,LeeAnn,We had a great time staying here. Peter had written us a welcome note and made us banana bread for in the morning.   The pictures are exactly to what the house looks like.  It is in the perfect  for getting in and out of the city within minutes as well as an easy hop on/hop off of the highway.  It truly felt like our home for the week. 
4076557,48800267,2015-09-28,44268811,Kristi,"The house was exactly as listed in the review. It was very cute and quaint. The small touches in this house were so enjoyable like the banana bread and other extras like sugar and coffee that you hate to buy since you'll only use one serving. 

We had a car so it was easy to drive into downtown Austin. The nights we wanted to enjoy ourselves, we  just took an Uber. 

Peter was great, very responsive and understanding. Fantastic owner. "
4076557,51354992,2015-10-19,25425962,Josh,"Great place, great spot, very comfortable. "
8480556,48640223,2015-09-27,41920113,Daniel,Was a very well kept nice place in a pretty good part of town. Was not very far from downtown or the campus. Definitely better than renting a hotel for the weekend. I enjoyed my time here and would recommend it to others. He made it very easy too with a code you type in to get into the condo. Tobin was very helpful and easy to reach. 
8480556,49930661,2015-10-07,19691312,Brandon,"Great location, host communicated directions,  house rules,  and information quickly. 10 min Uber ride to Zilker Park, grocery store,  downtown Austin. Place was clean and great for a weekend stay.  Tobin was very attentive and friendly."
8480556,51330092,2015-10-19,5871093,Dana,"The tasteful and modernly furnished residence is located in an safe, funky and mostly residential neighborhood right off a central street. You can tell alot of thought went into the decor. It looks exactly like the pictures. There is 1 bedroom and a pull out couch with a firm mattress for additional guests. There was plenty of street parking available if you have more than one vehicle (there's only 1 reserved space). While it is close to the train, the train has horn restrictions and was not a nuisance in the least. There was a plethora of restaurants close by both chains and local establishments. You definitely aren't going to be lacking for food options nearby! There was also a nearby grocery store on S. Congress. It's close enough to public transportation that you could walk or bike to the bus but far enough away so that you weren't woken up by late night ACL party animals.  The condo is very very clean and has luxurious bed and bath linens. A microwave, blender, kitchen utensils, some pots, and china as well as few toiletries and a blow dryer were also provided. There is also  a coin operated laundry on the premises which comes in very handy if you are traveling with your pet and/or child like I was. Mr. Tobin was very responsive to any inquiries. And very forthcoming about some minor issues he knew about asked if we would like to have them fixed during our stay. We opted not to have them fixed but we appreciated his consideration. We would happily stay at Mr. Tobin's property again."
8480556,52093684,2015-10-26,19672830,Tereza,Everything was perfect. Clean and cozy rooms. What we need there was. We are happy than we could be there ;)
8480556,52869845,2015-11-02,29294677,Karina,"Tobin was the perfect host who kept in contact with me throughout the process. He was also there on arrival to make sure everything was ok. The apartment was spotless, very chic and had everything we needed. It was like a little oasis for us to come home to every day. "
720186,2933242,2012-11-20,1394351,Ty,"Randy's place is in a great part of Austin. Walking distance to tons of great spots (more local than touristy), and he left us a list of his personal favorites that came in very handy. 

The apartment is clean, tidy, small but comfortable and smells very good. The photos don't do it justice. ;) 

Note that currently there is no wifi available, so if you need internet access you'll have to tether your phone."
720186,3771004,2013-03-13,4339853,Penelope,"Randy was great, and his place was great -- clean, comfortable and close enough to walk to restaurants, shops and of course, downtown.  I'd be happy to rent from him again if I return to Austin."
720186,4013011,2013-04-02,5569770,Miyo,this was my first airbnb experience and it couldn't have been better! randy was very friendly and helpful and made everything incredibly easy. his condo is great -- very nice and clean -- and is in a fabulous location. you should stay there!
720186,4092829,2013-04-09,4787384,Mitch,"Im an international traveller. I had previously been in 2 AirBNB apartments with friends before making my very first booking at Randy's Condo. Straight away I felt reassured and confident that I had made the right choice.  And what a great place it is! So convient to everything that was happening on SOCO. 
The place was neat, tidy and comfortable. 
Randy as a host was truly one of the nicest I've met and offered to help us with our bags as we climbed the stairs.  Very flexible and casual check in and check out times!  WIFI was a great connection line! We had a great weekend! "
720186,4256604,2013-04-22,5798785,Sasha,"Randy is a terrific airbnb host.  His place was clean, safe and comfortable and in a terrific neighbourhood.  Easy accessibility to everything Austin has to offer.  Nice guy, too. "
720186,4379258,2013-05-01,15527,Richard,"Randy's place is in a fabulous location on South Congress. The suite is clean and comfortable. It's cosy (but definitely doable) for two, and perfect for one. Randy got us a parking space in the complex so no need to look for street parking. There's a fitness centre and pool but we didn't have time to use them. The central air-con (as opposed to the sometimes dubious window kind) works really well. Randy himself was super helpful, positive, and quick to respond to any concerns or requests. "
720186,4687682,2013-05-20,6187386,Brendan,"Randy and his place are both wonderful.  The apartment is clean, convenient, and super comfortable. My wife and I loved staying there and walking to all the great shops and restaurants nearby.  Randy was incredibly helpful in making the arrangements, always replying promptly and thoroughly. He even left us a list of recommended spots to visit in the area! Great guy, great place, great way to visit Austin."
720186,28152981,2015-03-18,2993366,Samuel,"Randy's one of those zen-state guys; so relaxed, so accommodating, such a pleasure stay at his home. His place is beautiful, well decorated, clean, cool, and within striking distance of downtown austin by train or car. 

Highly recommend this spot, would stay here again in a heartbeat.

"
720186,29361249,2015-04-06,21376591,Taylor,"Our first experience with Airbnb was with Randy. Randy exceeded any expectation we had, as with personality and place. I know my husband and I enjoyed the moments we had to just sit and talk with him when we all had the chance, but Randy was also respectful of our privacy. The location was very convenient if you're looking to hit the town on your trip, and Randy had a great list of recommendations. It felt like a home away from home with our stay, and I would definitely come back. "
720186,29893632,2015-04-13,30869775,Chris,"Randy was a great host and his place was clean and close to downtown. Answered any questions we had, definitely knew about his city. Would highly recommend!"
720186,31008516,2015-04-30,1196068,Tyler,"Great place. Great host! Randy is a very cool and down to earth guy. He keeps his place clean, yet as a guest you still feel welcome to use the fantastic kitchen and make yourself feel comfortable. The place is located in a great part of town, with good bus transport, restaurants, etc. Definitely recommend this place to any other travelers looking to get a feel for the East side of Austin."
720186,31218861,2015-05-03,5578475,Jessica,"Randy was really flexible with our late arrival and very responsive and transparent throughout our stay. He also respected our privacy and it felt like we had the place to ourselves most of the time. The actual space has a great layout - modern, clean, and central to a lot of things to do in Austin."
720186,34248003,2015-06-06,72770,Nilesh & Lisa,"Our Stay at Patrick's place was awesome. His apartment is very modern and clean. We had a private room with a private bathroom. Temperature was always pleasant with the NEST device doing a great job at keeping the temperature ambient.

Location was awesome, close to all the greatness of East Austin and Patrick is a great host and made us feel at home right from the first day. Communications was great and prompt !"
720186,34759566,2015-06-11,35239821,Chelsea,"Our stay here was better than we could have imagined! Great host, great home, and great location. Will definitely be coming back! "
720186,35051380,2015-06-14,35316579,Lora,"Randy's guest room was a wonderful place for my husband and me to come & go for our quick-natured trip.  The simple and minimal decor really made me want to settle in for a couple days to enjoy the quaint backyard swing. Randy was very clear & helpful with check in, instructions, and would definitely be a great place to stay for a longer trip. We really appreciated his fresh linens/towels, overhead ceiling fan, easy access to a few cleaning supplies, and a safe parking spot. Having Randy's guest room as an option, we can't wait to get back to Austin! "
720186,38625362,2015-07-17,6636775,Haley,"My husband and I stayed with Randy for a week when moving to Austin for grad school at UT. His house is in a great location on Manor (with a lot of great restaurants/bars/tacos/etc...) and in close proximity to UT. The room and bathroom are clean and very comfortable, as is the shared space. Randy is a cool dude and was very communicative throughout our check in and stay. Definitely recommended - thanks Randy!"

Room was very comfortable, clean, and Randy was very friendly. He helped us with lots of ideas on how to see the city, and make the most of our time in Austin. He is a great host!

Full recommendation, and I would for sure stay here again!"
720186,44939254,2015-08-30,6565429,Philippa,"Randy's place was awesome! We couldn't have asked for a better host during our time in Austin. He was friendly and welcoming, and his place was clean with everything you will need. Only a few minutes drive downtown, about a $7 Uber ride. Awesome location, close to some great restaurants! We really appreciated Randy's hospitality, great communication and helpful tips. Thanks again for having us!"

Randy's home was immaculate, very modern and comfortable and a great location!  It was just a $7 uber fare to get to downtown and his neighborhood was safe and quiet.  We will most certainly stay with Randy again when we visit Austin!"
720186,48469176,2015-09-26,2135665,Fabien,The house is really nice and there's some good spots to go in the area. Randy was very helpful and friendly. Well worth it. 
720186,49066726,2015-09-30,12332928,Konstantinos,"Randy's house is spectacular. Very clean, spacious, and with a great minimal/industrial design. The neighborhood is calm and safe. The house is conveniently located next to a couple of bus stops and a train stop, providing quick access to downtown and UT Austin. Uber rides from downtown are ~7$.

Randy himself is a super cool guy and really pleasant to hang out with. He will make you feel at home, and share with you all the information you need to enjoy yourself at Austin.

Definitely recommend the place. Thanks for everything Randy."
720186,51162150,2015-10-18,22890563,Spencer,"The House was lovely. Bright, clean, and comfortable. A cheap Uber away from lots of places. Randy was hospitable and friendly. Would definitely recommend this listing."
720186,52718430,2015-11-01,9030514,Carly,"Randy was an amazing host and we loved his apartment! My husband and I were in Austin to attend a conference and visit a friend attending UT Austin. Both Downtown and the UT Austin campus were very accessible from Randy's place by car, light rail, bus, or lyft/uber. When there was a random thunderstorm (very exciting for someone from San Diego), Randy offered to drive me to the light rail station. Randy was the perfect host: helpful, friendly, easy to talk to, but also gave us our own space. His apartment is very modern, industrial chic. It was like staying in a house from a design magazine! We will definitely stay with Randy again the next time we visit Austin."
5424528,28594055,2015-03-26,25170828,Paul,"I stayed with Hailey for the SXSW conference.  Hailey was incredibly accommodating, especially as I had messed up the dates of my booking and turned up a day early!  Her flat was exactly as she described it and she had prepared it with bottled water, cereal and milk.  

The nicest touch, however was an external battery charger she left out for me in case I ran out of charge at the conference!  Lovely."
5572837,28185668,2015-03-19,4994281,Adam,Alex was very friendly and responsive.
1713273,21949786,2014-10-27,20849108,Jessica,"My husband and I came with my parents to Austin and stayed for a long weekend. We loved Linda's home- the pictures were a perfect representation of the house and the home was clean, comfortable, and cozy !  Beds were comfortable, and we loved sitting out on the screened in porch. Linda did an excellent job as a host as well- she was very responsive, and made us feel very welcome! She truly made us feel like we were welcomed guests in her home, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin. "
3842674,38234217,2015-07-13,10218833,Kim,"Beautifully decorated modern home. It was clean with the comforts of a home and the modern decor added a luxe flare to our weekend getaway. We were a party of 4 (two couples) and we were very comfortable. 

Popular restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and malls were within 15 minutes drive from the house. Close enough to everything yet secluded enough to recover from our food comas. 

Our host was very responsive and checked to make sure we made it to the place okay. We definitely recommend Shaeffer's place and would stay here again."
3842674,39085012,2015-07-20,31786164,Malik,Overall an incredible stay. The house is nice and the location is great for exploring the city during the day and taking a taxi/Uber to 6th street at night. 
3842674,40952734,2015-08-03,10815841,Anton,"Schaeffer was a great host! She was quick to respond to any questions I had and check-in was super easy and convenient. The house is awesome. More than enough space for our group of 8. Lots of space to hang out and the kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of sleeping space as well (bring air mattresses if you have more than 6). Location was good too, quiet and secluded. It's not walking distance to downtown, but a quick and cheap Uber will get you anywhere you need to go.

Overall great stay! Everyone in the group agreed. I would definitely recommend staying here."
3842674,41987894,2015-08-10,37800732,Raymond,"The home was wonderful, it was exactly as described. The home is in a nice little neighborhood, the surrounding area is not the nicest but it felt very safe.  The location is almost perfect its a $10 uber or cab ride from 6th street. The host is also very easy to work with and gave clear directions to how to enter the house, lock up the house, etc. "
1042911,50587049,2015-10-12,44123334,Yuntong,"My friends and I really like the house! We went to Austin during our midterm recess, and we had a good time there.

Before we moved in, Colin wrote a long message introducing the facilities, transportation and restaurants in neighborhood; he responded timely and courteously. 

The couch is pretty good to sleep on :) There are many interesting books on the shelves, two boxes of CDs (we enjoyed the music), and stylish paintings/ photos on the walls. All the rooms are tidy. But the TV doesn't have cable and is kind of complicated to operate...

The neighborhood is quiet. We mainly use uber for transportation. "
1042911,51963990,2015-10-25,45906804,Pat,Great house. Found getting around quick and easy with uber. 3-4 minutes from sixth my friends and I had a great time. Thanks Colin. 
681118,3812898,2013-03-18,636512,Matt,Jules & Lance's house is gorgeous & they were gracious hosts. We had a wonderful stay with a group of friends over SxSW. Their home provided a much needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the festival. Everyone we stayed with was delighted with the home and all of its amenities. 
681118,8433102,2013-10-30,890549,Peggy,Jules is a life saver! I desperately needed a place for my tenant to stay during repairs that are being done at my condo in Austin. She offered me an opportune place for my tenant to stay in the interim. Her place is located at a perfect area to explore Austin. Thanks so much for helping out Jules and Lance! 
681118,28199604,2015-03-20,10299342,Michele,"My company sent a team to Austin for the SXSW conference. They LOVED the house. It was charming, well-kept, spacious and comfortably furnished. Jules was very communicative and easy to work with. Very good experience. The neighborhood is nice and there were great eateries nearby (""Juan in a Million"" breakfast tacos were a favorite).  Would highly recommend this home and host. "
5144181,27986459,2015-03-15,27127342,Whitney,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5144181,39802405,2015-07-26,25032369,Alex,Nick was awesome! House was great. Pool was A+. Best weekend we could have imagined.
5144181,47698287,2015-09-21,20023774,Trung,"I think Nick was accommodating when he wanted to be. I could tell it was all about the money. However, If you're going to be staying in a downhouse in the back. Yes, it's in the description but there needs to be a waiver or something for the renter to check to make sure we approve those circumstances. I did not realize until after the fact and within 10 minutes of booking I wanted to cancel. Nick had a strict cancellation policy and I didn't want to risk losing half my money on a technicality. He graciously left the down house but the only reason I booked it was for the pool. The pool was in very bad condition I would not have let anyone swim in it as it was not maintained. Water was dark green with leaves and stains everywhere. The kitchen does not have a microwave and yes there is a washer and dryer but there were probably 6 boxes of empty detergent. Would not recommend this place if you wanted to use the pool unless he had it cleaned. "
5277499,31216027,2015-05-03,28186850,Erik,Description was accurate and the unit was a great value for the location and number of guests.  Chereen was easy to stay in touch with and was very accomodating of our schedule.  Highly recommended!
5277499,32387902,2015-05-17,1212044,Samantha,"We had a great stay with Top Trip Rentals in Austin. Checking in was simple and easy, and they messaged me before the trip to see when I would be arriving. We arrived a couple of hours early and the apartment was not ready but they let us leave our luggage so we didn't have to drag it around the city which was really helpful and great. We had 5 friends stay in the apartment and had more than enough space. There is only one bathroom but it wasn't too much of an issue for the 5 of us. The upstairs of the apartment has two sleeping areas, one with a queen size bed and one with a king size bed. Downstairs are two twin beds. We actually all ended up staying on the top floor together because it was spacious enough. There is also a little balcony attached that overlooks Austin. The location was the best part of the apartment. It's located right on 6th St. and is pretty much right in between ""dirty "" 6th and W. 6th St. I don't think you could find a much better location to get around to everything that Austin offers! Also, the other apartments on our floor were being rented out and we ended up meeting a few new friends!"
5277499,39810425,2015-07-26,1149249,Jenn,"This listing was just as described and was perfect for our group of 6 in town for a conference. The host warned us that because it was on 6th street, the nightlife would be loud, but it was actually not as bad as I anticipated/expected. The location was most excellent and the loft had everything we needed. And when we asked for a later checkout, the host was totally cool with it."
5277499,40513559,2015-07-31,16870658,Ali,Very convenient location! Easy process- we got in early and top trip rentals had our loft ready early for us. They were very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place if you want to stay in downtown Austin!
5277499,42120483,2015-08-11,32799140,Zack,"Constant updates, lots of information about the town, rapid response to inquiries. It was great!"
5277499,45974418,2015-09-07,12158286,Hannah,"Our stay was great and the location was awesome!  We could hear and see bars on 6th Street if we opened our patio door but had no problem sleeping at night since the condo was high enough to not get any noise.  We got to work around our check in because one person in our group had an early flight, so the accommodation was very appreciated!  Great condo!"
5277499,46738360,2015-09-13,10875998,Chris,"Top Trip made my friends and I feel very welcome to the city of Austin! The staff was incredible at accommodating all our requests. The apartment was furnished with everything we needed for the weekend. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.  "
5277499,48146183,2015-09-23,38493925,Chris,"Location was great.  Being on 6th street was great, due to being able to locate eateries without difficulty . 

Listing was as described.   Very warm and clean.  I would definitely recommend.

Had a little problem with the parking, BUT Chereen was VERY responsive and it was fixed without a hassle.  Chereen was so very easy to deal with and responsive.  THank you Chereen"

1373825,10927369,2014-03-13,3247951,Alec,"The room was fantastic, and Kymberlie was a great host. She let me borrow one of the in-house bikes, which was the perfect way to get around Austin. I was there for SXSW, and it was just the right distance away to be close but still able to sleep at night: about a 40 minute walk or 12 minute bike ride. The room is big and quite private (you have your own bathroom). Highly recommended"
1373825,13983473,2014-06-09,15934480,Ava,"I had a great time staying with Kymberlie. For starters, she was hugely accommodating flight was significantly delayed and I didn't end up arriving until 1am, but she was okay with it. Additionally, everything in the description was accurate and she gave me food recommendations as well. Next time I go to Austin, I'd definitely stay with her again. "
1373825,21337148,2014-10-15,483648,Eugenia,"Kymberlie was a great host. She provided information to us about Austin, and was always ready to help us with anything we may need.
Her house is very nice and cute and the room was quite private with an ensuite bathroom. That was great.
Also everything In the room was very clean. I definitely recommend Kymberlie and her house for a peaceful stay in Austin."
1373825,28071477,2015-03-17,25706562,Dan,"Host was great!  Extremely helpful and flexible.  Neighborhood in peaceful country just outside the city.

Kymberlie's description is very accurate and spot on."
1373825,28247602,2015-03-21,10669917,Christina,"Kymberlie was extremely hospitable and made sure we were settled in even though we arrived in Austin pretty late. She was even nice enough to allow us to leave our luggage at her house to pick up later that evening after we had checked out for the day. The room was comfortable and exactly as pictured, and her house is only a 30 minute walk away from sixth street."
1373825,49702218,2015-10-05,2818643,Betsy,"The Master Suite is just as described - a home away from home.  Kymberlie left us a nice welcome note and her kind roommate Emma was a gem in sharing her local knowledge and space.   The common area was very comfortable and highly functional.   Rockstar Bagels is nearby Kymberlie's place and their spreads and coffee are absolutely delicious, as are the offerings at Austin Daily Press and the fantastic frozen drinks at King Bees!  We rented e-bikes for the weekend and found it to be the best way to see, feel, smell, taste, and hear all that Austin has to offer!   "
2231056,50588312,2015-10-12,2160246,Justin,"John and Erica were great. He met us at the door, gave us keys and showed us where everything was at. The house was better than the images show!  They left us a bottle of wine and some chocolate. It was a great touch to the charming place. 

The neighborhood right off of Lamar was perfect for getting to everything. Very close to a lot local Austin spots and everything on S. Congress.  I would live here if they let me!  "
2231056,51585627,2015-10-21,4600781,Maggie,Erica and her partner were great hosts! The little house is in the backyard of Erica's house (but has a separate back gate entrance)  and has a bedroom and a bathroom. Everything is clean and beautiful. Erica and her partner were welcoming friendly hosts and provided us with extra beach towels and toiletries when we needed them. This is the perfect place for a short stay for 1 or 2 people if you don't need a kitchen! 
2231056,52112478,2015-10-26,714635,Ugo,I felt great during my stay. The place is as advertised and the hosts are great. 
2231056,52368368,2015-10-28,15875845,Thu Lynn,"Erica & John were the sweetest hosts ever. Why? Because there was a hurricane heading towards Texas and I wasn't sure if we were going to drive or kayak our way to Austin. Two days before our trip, I contacted our hosts and they were so accommodating in terms of allowing us to cancel or continue our trip. The morning of, Erica called to follow up and even gave me an update on the weather. Regardless, we went and enjoyed their cozy, private home so much. This was our first Airbnb experience and it definitely sets the bar for our future reservations. Thank you so much! "
2231056,52992660,2015-11-03,9402341,Sabrina,"We had a wonderful experience in Erica's bungalow! Erica and John are super friendly, accommodating hosts. When our flight was cancelled and pushed out to the next day due to severe weather, Erica and John were very quick to respond and flexible about check-in and check-out, which was a huge relief.

The unit is awesome: it's brand new and clean with everything we needed, and plenty of space for two. The bed is super comfy too. And you can't beat the location -- spitting distance to a ton of great bars, shops, restaurants, Zilker Park, downtown, etc.

I definitely felt at home here and so appreciated Erica and John going above and beyond to accommodate us. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin!"
1725413,10604634,2014-02-27,6926006,Alan,"We enjoyed our stay, with all of the conveniences of home and ten minutes from downtown.  The place is clean and well appointed, and Doug is a very helpful host.  Thanks.  A big thumbs up; we were very pleased.  "
1725413,10840342,2014-03-10,1002507,Cj,"Doug's condo was a great find during SXSW, when house is sooooo crazy! The condo was well stock with all the basics, clean and comfortable. I wish we would have known how stocked it was before we hit Walmart. lol.  Doug, was very hands off and let us do our thing. He also was nice enough to met us after we were 3 hours late. "
1725413,11045636,2014-03-18,10555075,Nicholas,My wife and I stayed here for SXSW 2014 and loved it. Douglas was great to deal with and completely happy to wait an extra hour to let us in when our flight was delayed. The condo itself had everything that we needed and is very roomy in a really nice complex in a nice part of Austin. It was great being so close to the park and having some great places to eat just around the corner. If we come back to Austin we would definitely stay here again.
1725413,11784523,2014-04-14,11611826,Elizabeth,"My friends and I had a great time in Austin. Douglas was very nice and gentle. The appartment was clean and located in a very good area. Every place we went was not more than 5 to 10 minutes. Definitely, we'll come back.
"
1725413,13447294,2014-05-27,15597777,Kartik,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it was great. It was one of those weekends where everyone keeps talking about how much fun it was the following week. So many of our new memories wouldn't have been possible were it not for staying at this sweet condo. Great location and great accommodations. Even with three 6'3""+ dudes and a lot of triathlon gear, the place felt very spacious. We felt comfortable and that's the best thing I could ask for when staying in another person's home. "
1725413,20733377,2014-10-05,4056340,Christina,This was a great place. Easy walk to and from ACL festival. Doug was very personable and answered all my questions as soon as we arrived. Then let us on our way. The accommodations were excellent. There were even a few drinks and snacks that were a real treat. It was a home away from home. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks for the great stay.
1725413,28120843,2015-03-18,3379428,Bauke,We had a perfect stay in Douglas appartment. He waited for us in the appartment and helped us very well with finding the appartment and make us feel welcome. The house was very clean and everything we needed was there. The drinks in the fridge and the snacks helped us to be able to sit down and relax instantly after a long day of traveling. Thx Douglas! Awesome! For SXSW this place is perfect as you can cycle along the river - in a very green environment - to the ACC. The bike rental place is 5 minutes walk away and there are also some excellent foodtrucks and breweries close by. Hopefully no SXSW visitors read this because next year I would love to rent this space again...
1725413,33132840,2015-05-25,31684664,Stephen,Douglas was excellent and made it an easy process and stay.  Place is as advertised.

1725413,48665077,2015-09-27,18510360,Kevin Love,"Doug had the place well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay, was very responsive, and was able to accommodate our late arrival without problem.  The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable.  And it is about a 10 minute and less than $10 Lyft or Uber ride to downtown and most other Austin attractions.  In short, a good location with great space for a fair price.  Thank you!"
1725413,50537443,2015-10-12,14285433,Jeffrey,Great place to stay! Would definitely stay again. Very accommodating and had snacks and drinks for us when we got into town. 
1725413,52278957,2015-10-27,7343720,Katherine,"We stayed at Doug's condo last weekend, and the overall experience was good. The condo itself was very clean and well kept. Doug had left us snacks as well as drinks in the fridge for us, which was very a nice gesture. The appliances in the house were pretty outdated (stove, fridge, washer/dryer), but everything worked just fine. The kitchen was nicely equipped with a nice Keurig machine with a few K-cups to brew a cup of joe. The sheets and towels provided were clean. All of the rooms were very clean. You can tell by the marks on the carpet that it was freshly vacuumed. Doug left us helpful instructions for the TV and thermostat. Only one major complaint, we had a difficult time looking for the parking spot for condo at first because it was kind of confusing. Doug claimed he marked an ""X"" on the ground where we were supposed to park, however, there was a huge storm/flash flood warning that night and the rain must've washed the ""X"" away. We were standing outside in the rain for a good 10 mins trying to figure out where in the world he marked the spot, and eventually figured it out after taking pictures of the parking spot and sending it to him and later finding the ""X"" washed several feet away from the designated parking area. We drove 3 hours through the storm to get to Austin, and the last thing we wanted was to stand in the rain looking for an ""X"" that was washed away. Other than that one annoying mix up, we would recommend Doug's place to anyone looking to vacation in Austin."
4749685,26980539,2015-02-23,14658250,Tonya,"The house was perfect! It was beautiful, clean, and in a safe area. The security system added extra piece of mind at night. Sixth street was close enough for a cheap uber away. Pete was great with communication and made it a wonderful trip!"
4749685,28118435,2015-03-18,8732987,Michael Robin,"Charming home in East Austin less than 5 minutes from the heart of downtown, but far enough away from the noise and crowds to make you feel safe. 

Home was clean, spacious and comfortable. "
4749685,33249407,2015-05-26,29541128,Robert,Excellent. The Taj Mahal of Austin. Plenty of room for entertaining.
4749685,47669719,2015-09-21,15045520,Andrew,"The house was accurately described, and was located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood.  Pete and Alan were proactive in communicating everything that we needed to know for our trip, including the alarm system, local restaurants and bars, and other instructions before check out.  I would definitely recommend renting a car, as many of the popular areas of Austin are a short drive away.  Overall, our group loved the house, and I would definitely recommend it. "
4749685,48401030,2015-09-26,40598454,Zach,Perfect description and place for a group to stay. We were a short walk to the water and some restaurant and an even shorter uber to downtown. Great clear instructions on arrival.
4749685,51424168,2015-10-20,31619922,Laurie,"A great house for the six of us. Two blocks from a fabulous walking /biking trail, lots of restaurants within walking distance and a neat neighborhood with some friendly folks.
The house is older, maybe late 19th century?  Very funky and fun color schemes with an eclectic mix of furniture but comfy for hanging out. 
Nice little patio in the back.
Also has a washer and dryer which was great. 
If you're interested in a pristine hotel like place you'll be disappointed but it was just the thing for my family for a week in Austin for a wedding."
951272,3723990,2013-03-08,452921,Rebecca,Kristen is really easy to work with.  Her place is great - awesome closet space and extra air mattress.  Ample parking around the building.

951272,3893019,2013-03-25,1527352,Mark,"Kristen hosting was above and beyond. She was super communicative, friendly, and went out of her way to give me great advice about Austin that made the trip a knock out. Would definitely stay at Kristin's place the next time I'm in town. "

951272,3985192,2013-04-01,5462578,Cecil,"My wife and I stayed here for Easter weekend. The condo was very nice and in a perfect downtown location. Though it's a studio apartment (with only 1 bed), Kristen is kind enough to have an air mattress available for other guests to sleep in. This was overall a great experience and I'd love to stay in this condo again."
951272,4059562,2013-04-06,5742272,Greg,"Enjoyed the stay as the downtown condo is very centric to all things Austin!  Quiet location on tree lined street with designated parking.
The fridge was stocked with bottled water and cokes and even though I didn't have time to cook, there were condiments and ample cookware to prepare a nice meal in the granite topped open galley kitchen."
951272,4118898,2013-04-11,5421284,Brittany,"We stayed at Kristen's condo during our first ever trip to Austin. The condo was clean, the bed was comfortable and everything about our experience was perfect. On top of the pristine accomodations, Kristen provided us with so much useful information on where to go, what to eat and what to see. The condo was within walking distance to 6th street, whole foods, the drag, 2nd street, everything you could imagine, the condo was located in close proximity, and if not, just a short, cheap, cab ride away. Kristen is truly a wonderful host! I would recommend anyone stay at this condo and if we go back, we will certainly be staying here again. Thank you Kristen!!!"
951272,4132198,2013-04-12,5256115,Teresa,"If you have business close to the Capitol, this is a great place to stay. Very clean and tidy with a comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend for your stay in Austin!"

951272,4219314,2013-04-19,2028447,Kevin,"Fantastic place, so clean you could eat off the floor! Also great location, near the action downtown but in a quiet area. Kristen was super easy to work with and this is a great option if you want to be in downtown Austin. My only negative was some neighbors were making noise between 3-4:30a.m. Luckily I was able to sleep in the next day. :)"

951272,4537166,2013-05-11,869312,Matt,"Went to Austin for a quick business trip and ended up captured by BBQ and live music so I didn't get to the condo until late and I was out early the next day. But it's a very comfortable space in a good location. Kristen was a great host, reaching out in advance and very responsive to questions. Highly recommended!"

Walking distance to the UT campus, and Frank Erwin center. Free, convenient, covered parking. The condo was clean, and had everything we needed.

Kristi was very responsive, especially when I realized there was no iron in the apartment and she immediately brought one over. There's easy parking under the building, which was a nice plus. The location is really convenient for getting around the city - north, south, east, west and downtown, of course.
"

It's people like Kristen that have me super stoked about moving to Austin.  
951272,5045565,2013-06-09,1020537,Cathy,"Kristen's place was ideal for my short stay in Austin. It was clean, tidy, and just right for a single traveler.

951272,5295603,2013-06-23,6415340,Christian,"Kristen is a great host, she is very responsive to any requests and always sends helpful and detailed information. Her condo is located near UT, and is in a very quiet neighborhood. The condo's close proximity to MLK puts you just a few minutes from just about everything Austin has to offer. I would definitely stay in Kristen's condo again."
951272,5323190,2013-06-24,6155537,Suvina,"Kristen was a wonderful host--she responded to emails and questions quickly, kept the studio extremely clean, and was very accommodating.

Is very clean, tidy and stylish. We would love to come back. "

951272,5426428,2013-06-29,460963,Adam,"I loved my one night in this condo and wish I could have stayed longer! The location was fantastic and within walking distance to both downtown and the UT-Austin campus. The area felt safe and was quiet at night. Onsite covered parking was also a nice perk. This apartment is nicely decorated, very clean, fast wifi, full kitchen with furnishings and had everything one could ask for; so much better than a hotel room! Kristen was kind to leave some bottled water, chips and fruit in the kitchen. A very nice touch. I will definitely stay here again should I visit Austin in the future and give it my highest recommendation. 

Note: apartment is on second floor that is only accessible by stairs. I didn't have much luggage so this wasn't a problem for me but might be an issue for those with mobility issues or really big/heavy luggage. "
951272,5463504,2013-07-01,6043547,Frederik,"Great condo, perfect location and a very nice and responsive host. Thank you Kristen, I very much enjoyed my stay in Austin.

951272,6123147,2013-07-30,7759478,Jeff,"This place was great. Clean, well-appointed and comfortable. It was small, but still bigger (and likely nicer) than any hotel you could find for a similar price and perfect if you're out and about enjoying Austin anyway and just need a comfortable place to sleep. The location is great, right between the campus and the Capitol and Kristen is very helpful and quick to respond to any queries. The parking is free and out of the elements, which is also a big plus. I would highly recommend this place to anyone planning on spending a bit of time in Austin."
951272,6141726,2013-07-31,1385329,Ryan,"Kristen's Place was AMAZING! I travel with a show and wanted a day trip away from Houston to Austin for the day/night. Her place was so comfy, modern and clean. Definitely Well kept. Everything from booking, checking in and so forth was simple, low key and smooth. Totally my style. I wish she had the availability to take my Pup and I in while we are in Austin next year with the show. Definitely a great stay! Two thumbs up! Thanks for a lovely stay Kristen :)

951272,6748487,2013-08-23,7314027,Michael,"Staying at Kristen's was a fantastic experience in Austin. Austin is one of the most beautiful summer destinations in the US, and Kristen's small but very comfortable condo was the perfect accommodation for a short trip to Austin. The condo is air conditioned, modern and extremely well located as it is wedged between the arts district, downtown and the University campus. 

This apartment is highly recommended for a few nights trip to Texas.

951272,6774400,2013-08-24,6772970,Camilo,Kristin place is great! The location is great; right on downtown. Spacious and in order. SUPER CLEAN :). Will be staying at her place when I'm back in Austin for sure.

951272,6989248,2013-09-02,5452102,Chris And Cathy,"We were in Austin for 3 days and were lucky enough to stay at Kristen's apartment. Kristen provided very clear instructions in advance of our arrival which was helpful since we had never been to Austin before. When we arrived we noticed there were snacks, wine and bottled water in the fridge. Further, the place was spotless. The location is within walking distance of everything. Thanks to Kristen for making our first trip to Austin so amazing. "
951272,7085466,2013-09-05,754806,Jaime,"Just as advertised, clean and quiet. Located in a neighborhood close to downtown and rather quiet, great place that to a relax.

They also have hygiene travel accessories (toothbrush, toothpaste, etc)  great job."

951272,7292010,2013-09-14,5580751,Benjamin,Great stay. Greatest Hostess I never got to meet! Kristen made booking and checkin a breeze with prompt emails. Great parking spot under the building. Condo was super clean and comfortable...the pictures say it all. Nice amenities and the maps on the table were good to have. Central and Quiet are seldom a simultaneous experience in my travels but her place was both. Great place to come back to after a show in Red River District! Great coffee at this place two blocks east. My only regret was only staying one night.
951272,7331172,2013-09-16,7825002,Jessica,Kristen's condo was perfect for us. It was neat and clean and she even left snacks and drinks. She was great to work with - we'll definitely stay with her again.

951272,7704761,2013-09-30,90805,Veronika,"Kristen's condo was great! It was the perfect set-up for a 3-girl reunion/conference weekend. Not far from UT campus and downtown, it was ideal for us.  And there were plenty of towels, shampoo, shower gel, and even some throw-away razors that came in handy!  Oh, and the water in the fridge was nice.
The condo is awesome, too. Everything looks brand new. And Kristen checked in via email and text to see if we needed anything. So, we were well taken care of and had a great time. Thanks, Kristen!"

There were even yummy snacks on the breakfast bar!  The condo was perfect to come back to after all day at Zilcher Park for the ACL Music Festival!  Will definitely book this condo again!
951272,8043092,2013-10-14,8223595,Liz,"The apartment was absolutely adorable and very comfortable for my weekend stay in Austin.  I'd never been to Austin before and the unit seemed to be very centrally located between UT and downtown. Kristen was a great host and did everything to make our stay great!  Drinks and sodas were in the fridge and she gave us tons of suggestions of places to go hang out and check out around the city.

If I'm ever back in Austin, I would definitely stay here again!"
951272,8135891,2013-10-17,8791588,Jennifer,"I surprised my husband for his 60th birthday by taking him to a city we've never been to but always wondered about - AUSTIN.  We loved it!  My best decision was staying at Kristen's AirBnB. CLEAN, bright and comfy with free parking.  There was a lovely bottle of wine on the counter when we arrived which we thought was a sweet and welcoming touch. Kristen even gave us a list of things to do based on our interests. It was perfect!  The only thing that I'd mention is that the bed is a full size and was a little small for the two of us so we took turns on the sofa which was comfy but I guess we'd have preferred a queen size. Otherwise - we were THRILLED!  "
951272,8208099,2013-10-21,7481675,Jessica,"This was our first airbnb experience, and it was great.  Kristen was very prompt in responding to questions, and it was a very smooth process.  The condo was cute and clean, and she even provided all the towels, shampoo & conditioner (etc), and some drinks in the refrigerator.  We had a perfect experience!"
951272,8284518,2013-10-23,9328852,Kirsten,"Wonderfully comfortable, spacious place to stay.  Really easy to get around without a car - neighborhood is very walkable and the bus to downtown is only 3 blocks away and runs every 15 minutes!  Highly recommend planning on eating at the Clay Pot - very tasty India food only 2 blocks away.  "
951272,8367916,2013-10-28,8457425,Charles,"The apartment was clean, well decorated and felt very comfortable.  It was also centrally  located in downtown Austin with many restaurants and activities within walking distance.  We loved it!

Charlie and Debbie "
951272,8433570,2013-10-30,9334788,Addie,"The condo was perfect for our two day stay in Austin. It was a short walk to UT campus and the capitol. Downtown was a 15-20 minute walk. Eat at the Dog and Duck Pub two blocks from the condo. It's great.

Kristen was a great host. She gave us clear instructions and the condo had everything we might need. Coffee, water, and soda were readily available. We will definitely be staying here next time we are in Austin."
951272,8465874,2013-11-01,5536899,Chris,"My wife and I stayed at Kristen's condo for two nights and had a blast.  The location was right in the middle of town, and the condo was clean and had everything we needed.  Check-in was easy, and Kristen helped us out with local recommendations.  Kristen was also very responsive via e-mail."
951272,8519629,2013-11-04,8519209,Gregory,"Location is great. Downtown, yet super quiet. I was worried about the bed being too small, but we slept great. I would definitely stay here again."
951272,8608489,2013-11-08,6962759,Wayne,"I really enjoyed my stay at this downtown condo.  The apartment had everything I needed, plus its proximity to the AT&T conference center could not be beat. I appreciated having gated access and designated off-street parking too.  The street and building both were very quiet and Kristen was quite friendly and helpful. Sure beats staying in a hotel!"
951272,8652673,2013-11-11,8306909,Laura,I highly highly highly recommend staying at Kristen's place in Austin.  My friend and I recently stayed there for a long weekend and found her place perfect for us.  Kristen was also extremely helpful in answering any questions we had about the area before we arrived.
951272,8739331,2013-11-15,8760086,Heather,My boyfriend and I had a great time staying at Kristi's!  It's a really wonderful apartment in a great location.
951272,8811387,2013-11-19,5631403,Peter,"Jetting in for the second running of the F1GP in Austin with a friend, Kristen's place was a fantastic choice - nice and quiet part of town but very much in walking distance of all the good pubs/bars/food and well connected to the interstate. Place was super clean, great bed (and Air bed!), good shower, Internet and decent off street car parking - having super sized washers/dryers next door in the condo complex was very handy too.

Kristen was everything you want in an AirBNB host - she's been an Austin local for many years and was only too happy to help out with advice/suggestions for our (many!) requests for food/entertainment requests. Getting in late at night via car from Dallas and feeling a little jetlagged - was excited to see Kirsten had provided a nice selection of local beers, water and snacks for our arrival too!

First time in Austin, and really loved the city - if I ever make it back (which I hope too) would be sure to stay here again."
951272,8925314,2013-11-26,7026336,Stephanie,Kristen was a great host! She went above and beyond for us! We had a couple of extra requests and she was more than happy to accommodate! Checkin was more than easy and the apartment had all you need! Would highly recommend and would stay here again.
951272,9015602,2013-12-02,1294251,Carrie,"Overall it was a nice stay. The apartment was conveniently located and the place stayed warm since we had control over the thermostat. Kristi left us detailed instructions for the apartment which was helpful. There were some nice touches---there was wine available and she left many helpful guides to Austin. Just a few things to know if you're a guest-- the walls are pretty thin, which isn't the host's fault, but that means you will hear the neighbors often. Also, the kitchen is not fully equipped with cookware so if you're looking to do that during your stay, you might want to bring your own supplies. "
951272,9077728,2013-12-04,8809668,Tiara,"Kristen is an awesome host. One of the best experiences you will have on Airbnb. Her condo is a modern urban oasis.  She leaves snacks, the fridge is stocked with goodies, fresh linens and much more. "
951272,9113402,2013-12-08,2717206,Patti,"GREAT location and wonderful condo-we felt welcome from the moment we stepped into it! It was clean, cozy ( weather was cold when we were there and the furnace worked GREAT), and just plain pleasant! 
Easy walking to the Art Museum, Texas Museum, etc...just off the main DT section...would definitely stay there again. Kristen stocks the condo with the ""few""  important things like some milk, cereal, coffee, etc that made the mornings extra easy. Shes also a great resource for recommendations! We had a GREAT time! "
951272,9204139,2013-12-13,6068945,Adam,"Great location, just a mile's walk from downtown and next door to the university campus. There's an english pub and an Indian place within two blocks. Parking is very easy in the two spaces under the building.

The apartment itself is basically a studio, with kind of a funny layout and the bed shoved into a niche at the far end. It also seems to be older construction, so there are some sticky doors and sound insulation isn't great.

But the interior is cozy. Kristen made check-in incredibly easy, and even provided a few bottles of wine and some breakfast items. Combine those items with the excellent location I was delighted with my stay here.
"
951272,9420997,2013-12-28,9182961,Ted,The location was perfect and the bed was very comfortable.  We enjoyed our stay

951272,9855998,2014-01-14,10915901,Greg,"Kristen's home was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. We walked pretty much everywhere from the apartment and the building was nice and quiet. 

There was even a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. :) 

I highly recommend Kristen's home for your stay. "
951272,10063021,2014-01-28,713859,Lauren,"This condo is AMAZING. We had never been to Austin before, and this was the perfect spot to be in. The condo is steps away from the UT campus and all of their great restaurants, a block or two away from the capital buildings, and a few minutes walk to downtown and sixth street. The condo was immaculate and had absolutely everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a stay in Austin :) "
951272,10179145,2014-02-04,11107000,Robyn,Convenient location with parking. Check-in was easy. Minimal options in kitchen so bring supplies if you plan to cook. 
951272,10210705,2014-02-06,11727808,Jerry,"This was my first ever experience with AirBNB.  If it always goes as smoothly, I doubt I'll ever stay in a hotel again.  Kristen was an excellent host, and her place was extremely convenient to U Texas.   I would definitely stay here again (and probably will)."

951272,10416188,2014-02-18,3143278,Aaron,"Great communication.  Easy check-in.  Convenient location with parking.  Perfect for anyone running the Austin Marathon because you can jog to the start in five minutes!  I recommend a beer at the Dog and Duck Pub two blocks away.  Note the condo is set-up as a studio, but it is big and the bed is hidden from view from the living area.  Highly recommended :)"
951272,10471980,2014-02-20,4490417,Bernie,"Clean, well appointed, and well equipped. Kristen made the check-in and check-out a breeze. "
951272,10537710,2014-02-24,7341296,Jill,Great place to stay. Walking distance from a lot of cool venues and a short ride from others. VERY well kept and cute. Kristen could not have been easier to work with.
951272,10593533,2014-02-26,5413826,Meghan,Wow! So convenient and close to everything. This place was so clean and cozy and for sure better than a hotel experience! Thanks Kristen. So glad I made the choice I did :)
951272,10793586,2014-03-08,6225720,Maddie,Kristen is lovely! She was extremely responsive in the weeks leading up to my stay and even accommodated my early check-in request. Definitely recommend.
951272,10873124,2014-03-11,7880039,Dave,"Loved this place, and it was fantastic being within walking distance from SXSW activities but far enough away to be out of all the hustle bustle. The condo was clean, well stocked with comforts and Kristen had done an excellent job of prepping it for us. She even had a gift basket of Tito's Vodka waiting for us on the counter. Overall, it was a great stay and I would highly recommend Kristen's place for anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
951272,10941833,2014-03-14,12218997,Rob,"Great communication, directions and attention to detail.  Apartment ended up working well for me.  Thanks, Kristen!"
951272,11052344,2014-03-18,531731,Kimberly,"Kristen's place was perfect for my conference at the AT&T Conference Center! I loved walking to the conference center, around the University, and downtown. The buses in Austin are very convenient and there are stops close by. I easily took a bus to and from the airport and downtown. If I was there longer, I definitely would have used one of the Austin B-cycle bikes that you can rent, which were available near by. The bed was comfortable and it was really nice to have a full kitchen. Kristen was really easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. I'd love to stay there again!"
951272,11182603,2014-03-24,8034166,Rachel,Kristen was great! Adorable apartment. Great location for us - right near the UT campus. I lost my laptop the day I arrived and Kristen went above and beyond in her offers to help me! I would definitely stay here again.
951272,11271679,2014-03-27,204874,Danielle,"What a lovely, reasonably priced condo.  So glad we chose to stay here.  Kristen was on top of everything!  Her unit was clean, quiet, well-stocked with the little extras that make you feel at home, and was conveniently located to Mega Bus.  She was prompt with all communications and was very helpful in recommending places to eat/or visit on a limited schedule.  Thanks to her, when pricing taxi fares from the airport ($85 one way), we saved a ton of money because she told us we could expect to pay $25 to her location, which was pretty accurate when taking the Super Shuttle.  We loved Arturo's just up the street for pastries and coffee, though we could have just as easily feasted on the fresh strawberries and yogurt provided.  Kirsten also made other food/beverage items available (just can't remember everything as we arrived in the wee hours of the morning, slept, and had to leave).  We had a brief but nice stay in Austin and are so grateful for it.  Thank you!"
951272,11293070,2014-03-28,13483321,Jackie,"Lovely stay in a lovely place! Very comfortable, well equipped and close to 6th street and all the Austin nightlife."
951272,11307273,2014-03-29,13044860,Jonathan,"Nice quiet place very cozy perfect for one or two people. Very comfortable, well equipped and close to 6th street and all the Austin nightlife.  Walking places isnt a problem and you don't have to pay 300 a night for a good hotel downtown.  She even had few snacks that hit the spot.  "
951272,11429085,2014-04-02,11771896,Caitlin,"Apartment is just as pictured in photos. Very clean with lots of towels, toiletries etc. Also enclosed in a gate with coded access (very safe). 1 minute walk to a great coffee shop (Arturo's) and bar (Dog and Duck). 1 block up from a B-cycle (bike share) station. Great walking/biking location to UT and The Capitol. Not too far from downtown area (a bit further by bike or cab). Overall very good experience that I would recommend to others!"
951272,11498245,2014-04-05,1923105,Steve,"Great place, very clean and in a perfect location situated next to UT Austin. The place is very safe, very well kept, and everything worked as advertised."
951272,11535840,2014-04-07,2417039,Justin,"Kristen was a gracious host who responded quickly to my questions. The apartment resides on a quiet street, which was nice for sleeping in. It is a short cab to sixth street/East sixth, but there are also a few bars right around the apartment if you are looking to go out at night. Best of all, the apartment was stocked with a few goodies! Thanks again Kristen for a great experience in Austin!"
951272,12001360,2014-04-21,12835647,Melissa,Kristin was easy to get in touch with and very helpful. She procured a pack'n'play for us so we didn't have to run to Walmart when we arrived in Austin (much appreciated)!  The condo is nice and the walk-in-closet is big enough for a pack'n'play if you are traveling with a baby/toddler.  
951272,12196308,2014-04-25,3672449,Master,"We had a great experience at 1700 nueces. The apartment is centrally located downtown and made it easy for us to navigate and explore the rest of the city. Everything was clean, quiet and Kristen made checking in/out very easy. Would recommend to others and would stay again on our next trip to Austin! "
951272,12213356,2014-04-26,10913590,Julie,"Kristen was a fantastic host.  She made checking in really easy and responded immediately to all our questions.  The condo was beautiful - fully stocked kitchen, fast wifi, and really cozy.  Everything we needed was there.  Plus the location was great - you're just a short walk from UT, the capital, and downtown.  (Try Arturo's Bakery down the street for some great coffee).  Awesome experience!"
951272,12360657,2014-04-29,14695158,Lauren,No complaints! Everything was as described. Would definitely recommend this to others. It was very peaceful there. Didn't hear anything from neighbors!
951272,12420167,2014-05-01,14419234,Stephen,"Amazing experience. This was my first time using Air BnB and Kristen made it a great one. The space is perfectly clean, and spacious for a studio. It is very close to downtown, and beats staying in an expensive hotel. I would definitely do it again! "
951272,12606558,2014-05-06,11803864,Alejandra,The apartment was just as described. Our ride couldn't pick us up till 1:30 and Kristen was nice enough to let us stay till then. My only complaints are that the bed was very uncomfortable and that there was only 1 towel and there were 2 of us.
951272,12889496,2014-05-13,2983106,Michael,"Great location and place.  Very comfortable and easy stay.  I would totally stay there again if  visiting Austin.  thanks, Kristen"

951272,14128671,2014-06-12,1212692,Daniel,"Host was very efficient, photos were accurate, and my stay was very pleasant. It gets a little bright and noisy in the morning, but it wasn't a deal breaker by any means. "
951272,14308608,2014-06-16,1630576,Derek,"Kristen's place was just as described, super clean, priced right, and in a nice quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything I was doing in town. This was a great hotel alternative. I would absolutely book this place again."

We hope to come back next summer.  :)"
951272,14640180,2014-06-23,6562942,Carlos,"As always, Kristen's place was the perfect. I've now stayed at 2 different condos owned by Kristen, and I can't think of one negative thing to say. This is my go to place when staying in Austin!  "
951272,14766822,2014-06-25,4670473,Nick,Kristen was super accommodating and made my Austin stay nice and easy. I called last minute for a short stay but she let me in early and had everything ready and waiting. Definitely calling Kristen ahead of time for my next trip to Austin. 
951272,15112605,2014-07-02,16822972,Kyle,The condo was as expected. It was small and cozy. Great access to downtown. I would definitely use Kristen's Airbnb again if I had a friend in town.
951272,15541595,2014-07-11,3178735,Chris,"Kristen offers a clean place, reasonably priced, within easy walking distance of downtown (even in Austin heat). The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant, and the apartment is fully equipped; the A/C and ceiling fan were most welcome at the end of a hot day. The bed was comfy, and it was plenty of space for me.

Kristen went out of her way to resolve an issue I had when checking in, so in future I'll know I'm in good hands.

Neighborhood tip if you're staying here: Over on 13th and Rio Grande St there's a coffee trailer called Bru that makes amazing coffee, tea, and oatmeal. It was very easy to grab an excellent cup on my morning walk to work."

The place was super nice, and just as it looked in pictures. We had everything we needed for the four days. It was also in a great location. It was close to all the cool shops downtown, and also close to the University of Texas at Austin if you like looking around campuses (like I do). We also took the bus to South Congress one night and there was a bus stop near by that went straight there.

I'd definitely stay with Kristen again next time I'm in Austin!"
951272,16743465,2014-08-01,7344297,Derek,"About what we expected - the place was small, but the location was good."
951272,17493578,2014-08-12,10966310,Jana,"The apartment is nice, and I LOVED its locale (within a few blocks of UT campus, tons of restaurants, etc). I actually mentioned to my husband that I wished we had lived in that very spot when he was in school at UT years ago. Kristen was very accommodating of our last-minute reservations requests and prompt in her responses."
951272,18499825,2014-08-27,18186372,Alicia,"The appartment was just perfect, spacious and neat, with all the possible utilities. Very close to the university, 10 minutes walk, and from dowtown, around 20 minutes. The neighbourhood was  very quiet, but with a lot of restaurants nearby.

Absolutely recommended!!"

951272,22480220,2014-11-07,1637320,Bruno,I highly recommend staying at Kristens apt. The key exchange was painless and the apt was very well kept and in a great location. Sadly I only had one day to spend in Austin but would not hesitate to stay at Kristen's apt should the opportunity arise.
951272,22661409,2014-11-11,22575973,Krista,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a night to celebrate our 3 year anniversary. We had a splendid time!

The entire process was super easy and  there was absolutely nothing to worry about because she covered all the basics for anyone staying at her home.  The home itself was cute and quaint.  It was perfect for my stay.  I had a conference at UT and it was a nice walk each morning.  It's a great location and the neighborhood is safe and quiet.  Next time I need to stay close to UT, I'll definitely come back to Kristen's home.  Thank you so much for making my stay totally easy and drama free!"

It's also really well located to walk downtown and to many of the city's attractions. Kristen was really responsive to my questions and her suggestions were detailed and always well worth following. I was lucky enough to meet her on my final day and she was kind enough to give me a lift to South Congress (a must for any visitor to Ausrin) and show me where the good places were. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would book with Kristen again if I return."

Kristen was very communicative and check-in/out was simple and a breeze. The condo was clean and well-equipped, and just 2 blocks away from an Austin city bike rack which was very handy. $8 bike rental and we got to ride around all day and see a lot of the city. The condo was very central and allowed for walking to bars/restaurants/cafes. We loved Arturo's for breakfast down the street! Thanks Kristen! We will be back next time we're in Austin :)"

Kristi is really responsive if you should need anything during your stay. "
951272,24125995,2014-12-20,11674082,Michael And April,"We had a wonderful stay at the apartment! Perfect place for two people to stay. Within walking distance of many things; we walked to Jalopy food truck, tiff's treats, and a few other places. We took an uber for cheap to Rainey st. Overall great experience. Clean, comfy apt, and we felt very safe. It was a bit loud sometimes when people were doing laundry late at night because it is right next to the laundry room, but it wasn't too bothersome. The folder Kristen left in the apartment has great suggestions. We would definitely recommend staying here!"

951272,24394114,2014-12-27,23316460,Kim,I enjoyed a comfortable stay in this great space. The location was perfect and I felt safe and secure in the gated building. Thank you!
951272,24661886,2015-01-01,22216391,Andrea,"Stayed here for 5 nights. Great place, clean and updated. Directions were clear. Parking was covered. Kristen accidentally told us the wrong apartment number but answered her phone as soon as we called and told us the correct one. We are light sleepers and often sleep with a fan, which she had waiting for us next to the bed when we arrived! Bed was in an awkward spot but we knew that going in so no big deal, it was comfortable. "
951272,24970187,2015-01-04,5295339,Krishna,"Our host was very accommodating about checking in. She was very communicative beforehand. The place itself was very cozy, though we were able to host a bbq lunch with a few friends. Overall quiet neighborhood, convenient, and a nice trip!"
951272,25241449,2015-01-10,24799932,Hunter,"Everything was as described in the listing. The pictures are dead on and Kristen is super easy to deal with. Very clean, safe, friendly neighborhood with almost anything needed in walking distance. The building its self is secure and very quite. Checking in and out is very easy. Much easier then an actual hotel. Everything was perfect and it was a great first AirBnB experience. "
951272,25361043,2015-01-13,1011006,Jessica,"Everything worked out really well! The apartment was cute, clean, and really well located. We stayed three nights, and while we didn't use the kitchen, the bed was really comfortable! This place is a great value."
951272,25418952,2015-01-15,25548913,Sarah,"This place was my first airbnb and I'm hooked!  It was such a cute place in a great location and I really appreciated the written notes from Kristen about things to do in the area, etc.  Loved having access to the laundry room as we were on a cross country trip!  Getting into the place was easy.  We were only there for one full day but enjoyed 6th St, the state capitol and the LBJ Preaidential Museum (must see!!)"
951272,25489927,2015-01-17,26180886,James,Great! Loved the experience

951272,25895035,2015-01-28,4878085,Mathias NT Innovation,Great place to stay in excellent location. Very easy communication and happy to go there again!
951272,25907031,2015-01-29,23111736,Matthew,"Great spot!  Walking distance from W 6th st, and an awesome food truck named the Jalopy!  Everything you need and more is in this place.  The welcoming packet was detailed to say the least!  Would definitely stay again."
951272,25974144,2015-01-31,7868796,Joe,"Kristen did a great job of sending all the info I needed to park and get into the space, which is in an ideal neighborhood near UT and the Capitol. I was at a conference at the Sheraton on 11th Street, and it only took me minutes to get to it each morning."
951272,26167523,2015-02-05,9591706,John,"Place was exactly as described, great location for UT Austin, clean, comfortable, great!"

951272,26586046,2015-02-16,22961670,Scott,"My wife and I stayed at Kristen's condo over Valentine's weekend and it was the perfect spot. The location is awesome. It's a few blocks removed from some of the busier streets, but still well within walking or biking distance of everything. We rented bikes ($8 per person per 24hrs) and rode to East Austin and also South Congress. When we didn't feel like riding bikes, we used Uber for around $5 to get where we wanted to go. Kristen's place is very cozy, quiet and comfortable. She left us a lot of great tips about the area - neighborhoods, restaurants, museums, etc. I'm not a coffee drinker, but my wife absolutely loved the coffee that Kristen left out for us (definitely a nice touch). We would no doubt stay there again on our next visit!"
951272,26711645,2015-02-17,1820750,Eric,"Awesome apartment, centrally located, as advertised, would absolutely stay here again next time I am in Austin.

951272,26913826,2015-02-22,25285219,Dustin,"Kristen was very accessible via airbnb message and text. 
We had issues with our incoming and outgoing flights which neither of us could hep, but Kristen was as helpful as a host could be!
Her condo was very cool, and we had a great time!
If we visit Austin again, we would definitely look at this condo again."
951272,27058935,2015-02-24,26653528,Asha,"This was our first time using Air BnB, so we weren't sure what to expect. I can tell you, if every experience is like the one we had in Austin, we will be using Air BnB from now on! The apartment was adorable and looked just like the pictures. It's in a great neighborhood. Kristen was very quick with her replies, and even gave lots of great suggestions for things to do. There was a very minor mix-up, but Kristen corrected it immediately and was so sweet and helpful. We are thankful for this experience!"
951272,27222992,2015-02-28,3781354,Alex,"The listing was very accurate, getting in was easy with the lockbox, and the location was excellent. I had a very nice stay and would definitely stay here again."
951272,27487516,2015-03-05,5341343,Ronald,Kristen was a great host. We got the apartment despite not booking in advance and she was very accomodating. Instructions to check in were clear and concise.

951272,28119884,2015-03-18,12218997,Rob,Second time staying here during SXSW. Good location and Kristen makes sure you're all set to go. Thanks!
951272,28382107,2015-03-23,2518768,Sari,"Kristen was a great host and the place was beautiful. Very clean and the toiletries and drinks in the fridge were a lovely touch! The building was well located and we had an easy time getting around. We were in town for SXSW. 

I have zero complaints and would 100% recommend staying here! "
951272,28590294,2015-03-26,29833068,Danielle,"The location was great! Very central, walking distance from all the places we wanted to visit (UT, the Capitol, 6th street). The apartment was very clean and had every amenity you could think of - free parking, full kitchen, wifi, TV, laundry room, comfy bed - you name it! I would definitely recommend this location to other friends. "
951272,28781971,2015-03-30,18346176,Sally,The apartment was nice and clean. The neighborhood was safe and close to downtown locations. I definitely recommend staying here if you are a couple looking for a good spot in Austin.

951272,29592802,2015-04-09,13382566,Rasha,"My friend and I stayed there! It is a lovely place and Kristen was very helpful! She came all the way in the middle of the night to open the apartment for us as we forgot the key inside, she was truly sweet.
And the location is wonderful, you can literally walk anywhere."
951272,30191062,2015-04-19,3895053,Breanne,"Great communication with Kristen before we arrived. I wasn't confused at all how to get in before arriving. The place is great value for the price. It was fun adventuring out on foot close to campus and 6th street. A little bit of a walk from main areas but lots of fast food options within a five minute walk. The apartment had a bit of a smell. I see the place is pet friendly so perhaps that was why? Also a little under kept. Some regular dust accumulation around the house, coffee pot dirty, light bulbs needing replaced, etc. Nothing major. All that being said, I would still stay here again if visiting downtown Austin. "
951272,30414046,2015-04-21,2396938,Ed O,Great proximity to transportation to the rest of Austin. Prepare for early morning commuter noise if the windows are open. Worked out well! 
951272,30518422,2015-04-23,30713790,Bev,"Kristen is the best - she was readily available by email and by phone when I had questions, etc.  The location is perfect for visiting downtown Austin and the UT area - I walked everywhere! The condo is very comfortable, beautifully decorated, quiet, with wifi, cable, a fridge, microwave -- just what I wanted.  The dressing area and bathroom are very nicely done, too.  My boss and her husband have lots of business in Austin, usually in the downtown area, and this will be our first choice for our trips from now on.  Thank You!"
951272,30652185,2015-04-25,31617170,Robyn,"Kristen's place was perfect!! It felt so homie, and she was easy to get in touch with. I wish it my my own condo! I would absolutely recommend to anyone. :)"
951272,30663085,2015-04-26,5488466,Tammy,"Kristen's apartment was in a great, safe location. Everything we wanted to do was easily accessible by car. There are also bike rentals a couple of blocks away. 

The apartment itself was clean and perfect for a 1-night stay for 2 people. Coming from SF, we were delighted by the amount of space. Kristen even provides information on things to do in Austin, complete with recommendations!

Kristen confirmed our reservation 1 week before. She provided all the information we would need to get into the apartment (including parking, check-in and -out info).

"
951272,30869068,2015-04-28,13482572,Justin,"THe experience was great! The location is perfectly situated in downtown, close enough to bike, but not be kept up all night from the noise. The studio gives off the impression of roominess, everything was just as the description claimed. Would definitely stay again!

Thanks!!!"

951272,31577740,2015-05-07,21971066,Julie,"Kristen's apartment was perfect for our trip to Austin! Not only was the area safe and apartment secure, it was an easy 5 minute walk to the Texas Capitol, restaurants, and bar scene. The apartment was perfectly clean and was even cuter in person!! Kristen left a great list of recommendations that was super helpful when making final decisions for what we wanted to do on our long weekend excursion. We had a blast and our stay at Kristen's apartment made a wonderful home away from home. "
951272,31674084,2015-05-08,15139754,Joseph,Kristin is a great host and the condo is well appointed with everything you need for a stay in Austin.  The neighborhood is very safe as well as the complex itself.  The condo is about a 5 minute walk from UT and a 10-15 minute walk to the capitol and into downtown.  It's very easy to use UBER from this location and the unit comes with a parking space as well.  I would stay here again when back in Austin.  
951272,32466794,2015-05-18,23633300,Jamey,The apartment was perfect for a weekend visiting Austin.  It was in a pretty quiet part of the city but close to downtown.  The amenities were as advertised and everything worked out great.
951272,32763787,2015-05-21,24162555,Suzanne,"Had a wonderful stay in Austin. The apartment was cozy, clean, easy to find and was in a terrific location.  We really enjoyed breakfast and coffee at Arturo's-just 2 blocks away. Thanks Kristen for all your great info!

Suzanne"
951272,33068400,2015-05-25,26953938,Cathy,"Kristen was wonderful to rent from!  First off, she was great to work with.  Our flight into Austin got in early, and although check in time was not until 3, she was able to arrange it so that we could drop off our bags and have access after 12 noon - and we had a message from her when our flight landed at 10:40 that she had been able to clean early since the previous occupants left earlier than their checkout time and she had cleaned it immediately after that.  Secondly, the apartment was great - nice quiet neighborhood - but close to everything, and the apartment itself was very nice - clean and nicely decorated.  There were only 2 of us, but we noticed that there were lots of extra blankets, and you could sleep more people comfortably if needed.   This was our first airbnb experience, and it was wonderful - we would definitely do it again."
951272,33343863,2015-05-26,29785518,Stephen,The place was excellent. Very clean and convenient. Walkable to downtown entertainment and dining options. Highly recommend and would stay again. 
951272,33439542,2015-05-28,12512574,Richard,"Great location, house was really clean and beautiful. Good, protected parking spots with the house. Kristen was a solid host!"

951272,34053236,2015-06-04,25532564,Zoe,"Kristen was a very organised host who,was easy to communicate with. She provided detailed checkin in instructions about a week prior. The listing was as described and I liked that kristen had left information and recommendations about the city, this was really helpful"
951272,34475729,2015-06-08,11883970,Amanda,I loved staying here. It was very convenient to down town and I was able to walk to the hotel my convention was being held. The place was great and just as advertised!
951272,34912486,2015-06-13,33936014,Kenny,Had an amazing stay at this location hosted by Kristen. Everything was super clean and in good condition. This location is excellent for experiencing Austin. Easy walk to downtown or just catch bus. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Would definitely stay here again. 
951272,34932042,2015-06-14,6135266,Jared,"This was a great place to stay!  Quiet, accessible to a lot, and easy to coordinate.  Kristen was extremely helpful and responsive.  I would absolutely stay again!"
951272,35318911,2015-06-17,13715211,Adrienne,"Kristen was a great host.  She was accommodating and very easy to reach.

I would stay here again for sure."
951272,35439462,2015-06-18,35873151,Hunter,Loved the location and the place. Perfect place to stay while in Austin. Kristin was very responsive and easy to communicate with. 
951272,35985730,2015-06-23,30703312,Shubha,"The listing was accurate. There was a double bed in a nook that sunk a bit in the middle but was still surprisingly comfortable! There was also an extra queen or double mattress that our 3rd guest used. This was a nice surprise because we assumed he would be sleeping on the couch. It was super easy to check in and check out and Kristi was very responsive. It was soooo helpful to have a parking spot in the covered garage and to have the ability to access the apartment from the garage without having to go outside since it was raining so hard all weekend. The recommendations in her blue folder were great and we tried a number of the places she recommended. The only downside was that there were a couple of mosquitos in the home, which is likely because it was just so muggy outside. But the air-conditioner and fans worked really well. "
951272,36144842,2015-06-25,34000469,Cathy,"Studio condo was clean and well equipped, only the coffee maker and I didn't get along so well...maybe it was telling me to quit. Everything was easy from last minute reservation to check in to departure. Great central location, easy access to a great part of Austin. "
951272,36371097,2015-06-28,5041215,Sarah,"Great little studio. The property is very clean and well-maintained. The location is convenient, walking distance to many shops and restaurants. The wi-fi and tv were sipe easy to use. Free parking in the lot was super convenient. As was the free laundey literally a step from the front door. Only real drawback sas the bed, which moved a lot, made everyone in it roll to the middle, and had no place to put your phone or a drink of water next to it. We wojld stay here again and recommend this place!"
951272,36539434,2015-06-29,339767,Jamie,"Kristen was great and incredibly responsive! She was great and her place was perfect! Great location! I felt like it was convenient to everything! My friend and I were pretty low-key and just wanted to take in Austin for a night and this was perfect for two, fairly quiet people. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you Kristen! :) "
951272,36997912,2015-07-03,36091277,Jake,Great place! Easy to access and easy access to great parts of Austin. Would highly recommend. 
951272,37107087,2015-07-04,17197475,Sarah,"I am from Austin, so I knew the area and what to expect. I chose Kristen's place because it is proximal to downtown, but also in a quiet area. It was clean, and perfect for our short 1-night stay. Parking was easy, as is access to the major roads to and from downtown and south austin. Kristen herself was very responsive, and the whole experience was very easy. "
951272,37849492,2015-07-11,32182400,Claire,"Kristen's place was exactly how it looked in the pictures and described - a sweet little condo in a very nice and safe location. Good proximity to the metro that takes you anywhere you need to go. Kristen offered lots of suggestions and tips for where to visit in the area which was so helpful, especially for first time tourists! We had a great time staying there!

The ONLY minor downside we had was that the bed was not much fun for 2 people, as you both tend to roll into the middle and end up sleeping on top of each other! But like I said, that was the only small problem we had."
951272,38065531,2015-07-12,35170146,Brian,"Kristen was quick, responsive, and getting into her place was a breeze. Great host, and a lovely unit. The place was clean, spacious, and in a great location."

951272,38642955,2015-07-17,20803129,Ben,Great place in downtown Austin. Kristen gave very clear instructions and the apartment was lovely. However bed wasn't that comfortable for two people as the mattress sinks a bit in the middle. Good location - easy access to lots of Austin sights. 
951272,38775306,2015-07-18,37897650,Kelsey,Had a great time staying here. Awesome location. A quick walk to 6th street as well as the mega bus stop. Short cab rides to anywhere in Austin.

951272,41181354,2015-08-04,38972928,Andrea,"Staying in Kristens space was a very pleasant experience. It's in a prime location with a big kitchen, a comfy couch and even satellite TV. I felt very safe staying there by myself. It was very clean and quiet, despite being near the university and Kristen was prompt with all of her replies. She even went out of her way to get me my phone charger back after I'd left it at the space! "
951272,41507778,2015-08-07,23721066,Francis,"Kristen was fantastic to us and responded to all messages quickly even though she wasn't in town. We had a huge issue with our train being cancelled and she helped us out in a big way. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. There was myself and my wife and we were very comfortable. The location was great, very safe area and a 20 minute walk to downtown. We would stay there again."
951272,41934273,2015-08-10,30301913,Morgan,"This condo was fantastic. Clean, well-maintained, well-furnished, close to the Austin convention center, everything that my friends and I could ask for. A great place to relax at the end of the day. Kristen was out of the city during my stay, but always available by phone and quick to answer all of my questions. I recommend this listing whole-heartedly."
951272,42469343,2015-08-13,7392783,Zjenja,I had a great stay while attending a conference at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center which is only a few minutes walk. The apartment is especially good if you arrive by car as it offers free parking.

It's also walking distance to the university which was cool, and had no problems at all. Kristen was very responsive and provided great recommendations. I would highly recommend this place!"
951272,47041717,2015-09-15,37147214,Emma,The apartment was perfect! Very very clean and organized. Me and my friend felt right at home. It was a short walk to everywhere in the city and the UT campus. Would recommend staying to anyone!
951272,47206827,2015-09-16,43417718,Lulu,The apartment is amazing. Kristi is awesome! She has a ton of recommendation for you. She is very very thorough with everything. The location is awesome as well. 
951272,47724114,2015-09-21,37258771,Gretchen,The listing was very accurate and the neighborhood seemed very nice.  The location was perfect.  The place was very clean and perfect for our one night stay.  The walls are very thin so we tried to be conscious of our noise.  There wasn't much interaction with the host other than messaging but great communication on how to enter and parking.   
951272,48067263,2015-09-23,18668699,Lacey,"Kristen was a fabulous host! She provided all of the necessary information for me to access the condo, and it was ready upon arrival. This location is perfect for those who want to get away, stay out of the 'craziness', and still remain close to everything that is happening! She provided an awesome guide for 'things to do' in the area, as well as some of her favorite dining spots! My husband and I are completely IN LOVE with Austin, TX, and this experience just confirmed that feeling again!!!

Thank you, Kristen, for the hospitality!!"
951272,48962455,2015-09-29,7885302,Chase,Kristen's place was fantastic for our stay in Austin.  The apartment was very clean with all the necessary amenities.  I would recommend her place to my friends.
951272,49189079,2015-10-01,33504745,Erin,"I loved staying at Kristen's place! The listing was exactly as described and had a really cute and cozy feel to it. It was very clean and Kristen made herself very available via text to answer any questions that came up. The condo is also just steps away from the action of the city, which made getting around easy. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
951272,49464499,2015-10-04,21340078,Russell,"The location was perfect for getting to downtown, campus, or Zilker for ACL. Parking is a bit of a tight fit with a larger vehicle, but we got everywhere we needed via Uber or our feet during our stay. Great for a short event weekend out in Austin"
951272,50290324,2015-10-11,41431365,Kristina,"Lovely, clean condo very conveniently located to the UT campus, an easy drive or cab ride to East Austin or South Austin. Really appreciate how nicely appointed the apartment was and the care taken to make a pleasant guest experience "
951272,50770177,2015-10-14,17039969,Dave,"Great spacious and clean apartment. Good location - 10 min walk to good bars and restaurants. Good communication and great recommendations left by host. Had everything we wanted, even a coffee machine. The only things is the bed is not made for two. It is  really overly soft so we kept rolling to the middle and waking each other up with any slight movement. It's fine for one. Fed this back, so hopefully it will be sorted. Would stay again if it is."
951272,51261806,2015-10-19,19597589,Michael,Great place. Close to the university and perfect to get downtown. Loved having the coffee machine and was perfect for what we needed. 
951272,51699720,2015-10-24,2990943,Bruno,Great condo perfectly situated in Austin. Didn't get to meet my host but she had arranged everything in advance and communicated exceedingly well. Will definitely want to stay there again on future trips to Austin. 
951272,52538853,2015-10-30,7367489,Krystee,"This was my absolute favourite Airbnb apartment during my stay in the USA. The apartment was super clean, the bed was soft and comfortable, the coffee machine was heaven to my mouth :-) and Kristen was a fantastic host. 6th St and Rainey St are a $6 uber fare and you can walk to the state capital. The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly and the washing facilities are right next to the apartment. I definitely want to come back to Austin and I definitely will stay here again ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
951272,52839446,2015-11-02,33145623,Laura,I received the information to access the condo from Kristen well ahead of time. The neighborhood was quiet and I appreciated the covered parking. Kristen was very responsive to any issues I had and was able to resolve them quickly.
951272,53078532,2015-11-04,47035737,Max,"Kirsten had a very easy, straightforward check-in/out process. Her space was exactly as advertised and was clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.

The neighborhood was safe and very quiet, but within walking distance to downtown Austin, UT, and the capitol. I had no problems and I would definitely stay again if given the chance. "
6814486,41185222,2015-08-04,5473210,Nicolette,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6814486,46169151,2015-09-08,2251004,Anand,"Angela was great!  We received the entire apt.  It was very clean and comfortable, in a great location, easy to find, and Angela kept it stocked with everything that we needed.  She was VERY responsive, very easy to work with, and made it as easy on us as possible.  We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience and would definitely stay here again."
6814486,48780774,2015-09-28,20368360,Del,Great spot in a killer location. We took taxis into downtown each night without it being too expensive. Angela's place is a perfect layout for two or more (and there is sleeping space for many more)--we really appreciated having our own bathrooms in the morning. Clean and quiet at night with really comfy beds. What more can you ask for? Would happily stay there again.
6814486,50229474,2015-10-10,8511676,Mayur,Nice apt and Angela is a very prompt communicator. 
6814486,51349196,2015-10-19,10011687,Oswaldo Jose,"The place was amazing, we love hat was close to 6th street (going with uber was like 15usd), we enjoy all the weekend, easy to parking, and Angela was really a good host, always looking forward that we were OK in Austin.

I recommend the appartment for rent in AIRBNB, really good and the host adorable."
6814486,52213925,2015-10-27,16929301,Jamie,"Great location, great price.  The apartment was clean and had everything we needed.  Angela was very quick with responses to any questions we had.  I hope to stay here again next time I'm in ATX."
4288292,26962492,2015-02-22,27922871,Patrick,"I just want to say that this is where I stay every time I come into Austin (about every 3 or so months). Sam, the homeowner, is one of the nicest people I've ever met, not to mention he makes some of the best BBQ I've ever had. The backyard here is amazing. I love to just go and sit outside and pet the cats and dog on those oh so nice weather days. I rant and rave about this place to anyone who is visiting Austin! "
4288292,28396617,2015-03-23,23506517,Tavania,"This was my first time using Airbnb and it was great. Sam, the host, was very good in communication, mostly through emails. He was nice and hospitable. We weren't there much at the house, but when we were it was great, he offered us water and fruit and usage of the kitchen and laundry room. 
The room was as depicted, it was clean and spacious. In the middle of the week we had to switch rooms, but it was great because it was somewhat of an upgrade. Sam would regularly ask if everything was fine or if we needed anything, but we didn't because everything was great.
The neighborhood is very nice and quiet. There is plenty of parking outside the house. If I'm ever in Austin again, I would definitely stay here again."
4288292,29947187,2015-04-14,20580695,Herrison,"This was our first time using Air BnB and my wife and I were a bit skeptical at first. Boy, did we luck out with Sam! He was such a gracious host! He was very accommodating and an overall awesome guy. His home was very clean and well kept. The room we stayed in was just as great. And that backyard… amazing!  The neighborhood was peaceful and pretty central to all the places we wanted to visit.

Sadly, we didn’t have a long enough stay and weren’t in the house much, so we missed out on the latter part of his famous bnb, the BBQ! I guess this just means we have to stay with Sam again, which is really a no brainer! 

Thank you, Sam, for your hospitality! We hope to come back soon and enjoy the BBQ and backyard activities! :)"
4288292,30943159,2015-04-29,13756729,Michael,I spent a week in Austin visiting family and could not have picked a better place to stay. Sam and his family were most hospitable and the room was comfy and very clean. I was not at the home a lot but it is a lovely place and the big quiet back yard and patio were a real treat in the mornings and evenings. I now consider Sam to be a friend and look forward to staying again.
4288292,37672362,2015-07-09,35286875,Joshua,"I could not have asked for a better host. Sam had made my experience of getting started in Austin very easy. He goes above and beyond in every aspect to make sure the place stays in great condition, and he also provides BBQ. Most of all, he makes sure every need is met for his guests. I could not have made a better decision and keep up the good work. "
4288292,45563840,2015-09-04,36168099,Jonathan,"Sam is a great host. He is very easy to get along with. He is upfront and clear. He always made sure I was comfortable and made sure my needs were met. I really grew to appreciate Sam and his family as they made me feel welcome. Sam makes awesome BBQ and he would always save me a big plate that lasted me for days. Due to unfortunate life circumstances, I had to cut my visit short. I told Sam that I had to leave and he was very understanding. I had a long drive home and he knew it. So what did he do? He packed me some snacks for the ride home. He facilitated my airbnb reservation changes and handled most of it since I wasn't able to. Sam is wonderful. Thanks Sam for being such a great host and making my Texas stay very pleasant."
4288292,46092907,2015-09-07,21426378,Tarek,"Enjoyed my stay at Sam's. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood not too far away from downtown. The bedroom was clean and comfortable as was the bathroom. Sam was very welcoming and kind. I will keep this place in mind for the next time I'm looking for a place to stay in Austin. "
4288292,47822901,2015-09-21,42546378,Nate,"I couldn't have been more fortunate than to have discovered Sam's Bed and BBQ.   This is my first Air BNB experience and was reluctant to even use the service, but my wife found Sam's listing and thought his love of music and good barbecue might make for a more enjoyable experience than another hotel stay, as I frequently travel for work.  She couldn't have been more right!  Sam is a great host that will make you feel at home right away.  We indeed connected over a love of music and he even shared some of his originals.  And be sure to book over one of his BBQ nights - while Austin is famous for this carnivorous treat, Sam's is the best in town!  Sam lives with Laura and his daughter Lana and their dog Sadie who have become my instant Austin family.  I look forward to many stays with them in the future.  "
4288292,53003756,2015-11-03,2131173,Peggy,"We enjoyed our stay at Sam's Aztec Room.  Very comfy bed,with chairs,desk and lots  of space for our things. The whole place is nice and clean,and Sam was always very attentive to our comfort. We appreciated the rides,since we came without a car. It's do-able, but probably better with a car to get around. Sam's unique and generous offering of an every Sunday Bar B Que was delicious and fun to sit around the firepit  talking with his family and guests. You won't find a nicer family!"
2914322,28068702,2015-03-17,5790064,Zach,"House was fantastic. Clean, new and very well kept. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone going to Austin and would happily stay there again!"
2914322,30363447,2015-04-20,10439780,Josh,The home was amazing - the design is so beautiful and in a very perfect location. The home was very clean and very simple to use - it was perfect for our group of friends.   We were able to walk around South Congress area very easily with this very central location. 
2914322,32141693,2015-05-14,2078924,Kelly,House is great! Eric was perfect host -- easy and quick communication.  Would definitely book here again when I'm back in austin. 
2914322,46677073,2015-09-12,3295169,Justin,"Great host, and easy to work with. A total recommend. "
2914322,48623972,2015-09-27,15791253,Daniel,The house is really beautiful and well kept.  Great communication with Eric! Great experience in Austin ! Thanks Eric

378626,1741537,2012-07-18,2776921,Earric,"No better place to pick than here if you plan on visiting Austin. You will be with great awesome company while you're here and if you don't like cats, you will still fall in love with the chatty Kitty. That is, unless you totally have some kinda feline allergy, to which, its not Kitty's fault. 15 minutes drive to downtown Austin, South Congress, South 1st and the Airport, so what else could you ask for? Magical hosts. The good people(2 of them, Suzanne and Jason) will impress you with their kindness and knowledge of the surrounding place. Be good and stay social and you will get even more bang outta your buck. Do not forget to ask to be ""Certified Mistified"" when you're there!! I will definitely go back there myself, so book early to avoid disappointment! :)"
378626,2687232,2012-10-22,3005777,Bridget,"Staying with Suzanne was great! She and her boyfriend Jason were really friendly and welcoming. The apartment was small, but the way they had it arranged made everything feel very spacious and the interior design was the cutest! My friend and I really enjoyed our stay! "
378626,3752335,2013-03-11,3044963,Mailys,"Suzanne was a great host, very flexible and friendly! I recommend his home if you are in the area! "
378626,8808419,2013-11-18,9978310,Stefanie,"I'm so glad I came across Suzanne's post on Airbnb. I felt like I was staying at a friends house for the weekend. My boyfriend came in from NJ, he never tried the Airbnb experience so I was a little nervous.  He enjoyed it, especially when Suzanne's boyfriend told him about the home game Longhorns v Sooners! I would definitely go back to Suzanne crib, felt right at home and minutes away from downtown. "
378626,10404071,2014-02-17,2592490,Cendri,"Suzanne was an amazing host who went out of her way to be welcoming and helpful. She has a lovely apartment with a friendly cat and dog, and the space for guests is very nice."
378626,10830773,2014-03-09,650448,Chris,"Extremely friendly hosts.   Were quick to respond on a short term request.  Very clean home, and underpromised and overdelivered.  Thanks Suzanne!"
378626,11055524,2014-03-18,12369083,Paul,Fantastic experience for a solo traveler! I stayed for a week and Suzanne was very helpful giving me advice about Austin. She even picked me up from the airport. I would definitely recommend it!
378626,11783743,2014-04-14,2600996,Jamie,"Absolutely wonderful! My first Airbnb experience will go down as a very positive one. Very helpful, accommodating and kind. Comfortable bed, great apartment, delightful cat and lovable dog. I even got dinner. I highly recommend Suzanne! "
378626,12250389,2014-04-27,5096129,Karen,Great experience!  I'm a foreigner and it was my first time on Airbnb..staying with Suzanne was really nice and she made me feel at home and welcome. The apt is small but the location is excellent. I highly recommend and hope to come back soon! !
378626,12587970,2014-05-05,2708819,Heidi And James,"We enjoyed our stay with Suzanne very much. Her curtained room was a great landing place in Austin for our 24 hour visit. The bed was comfortable and we  enjoyed meeting Suzanne, Jeb and Kittie."
378626,15381841,2014-07-07,17618025,Ashley,"My sister and I absolutely loved staying with Ms. Weat. She and her boyfriend were so hospitable and nice! They made us feel super welcome at their apartment. We were weary at staying at someone else's place because we've never done anything like this before. But I'm so glad we did because not only did it save us money, but we had a lot more fun talking and hanging out with other people instead of being in a dumb old hotel room. I definitely would stay there again and recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Austin!"
378626,17235293,2014-08-09,18683166,Maggie,"Suzanne was a wonderful host! She was always considerate and accommodating.

I adored her pets and found the space comfortable. Parking was always available at her apartment complex, as is not always the case in Austin."
378626,20788734,2014-10-05,18262078,Jorden,I had an awesome stay with Suzanne! Her home was very clean and comfortable. The location was conveniently located near the airport and close to some amazing food stops. Suzanne was extremely accommodating and sweet. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a nicer host. 
378626,21263322,2014-10-13,22219277,Katarina,"I can honestly say that my weekend in Austin was probably the best weekend of my life, and Suze was a big part of it! My cousin and I arrived to the apartment and Suze met us and was so friendly! She had printed out guides to the bus system and answered any and all questions we had about the city. We left for the day and were able to come back as late as wanted since we were given our own key. The next day Suze ran around the city with us! She's an amazing person and is so fun to hang out with. At every step she gave us advice and opinions about things we wanted to do. She was helpful, friendly, and so much fun to be around! What more could you ask of from an Airbnb host?? I will definitely be contacting Suze again the next time I'm in Austin. "
378626,22255087,2014-11-02,22335867,Shmuel,"IT was nice staying here. The first night i got to play cards with Suzanne and Jason.  It was fun.  I was out most of the time because of the formula one event,but im glad they were very kind and receptive. Also they have a nice big gold retriever mix dog and a cat. "
378626,22451461,2014-11-06,17478037,Andy,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
378626,22859244,2014-11-16,7056718,David,Suzanne and Jason were fantastic. Great hosts with a lovely home. Made us feel right at home and even drove us to the airport in the morning. Would definitely stay there again.
378626,26801186,2015-02-19,1278574,Scott,"Suzanne was an awesome host. She's so caring and thoughtful. She had a nice welcome kit for me with a toothbrush and other bathroom essentials. She made me feel right at home and was very respectful of my space. Also, being in a gated community made me feel very safe.  I would definitely recommend this place."
378626,26894951,2015-02-21,19311206,Samantha,"Suzanne and Jason were fantastic hosts, esp. since I was a lone traveler! They made me feel very welcome during my short one-night stay. I had never stayed in an Airbnb and was, of course, unsure of what to expect. Suzanne greeted my arrival with a welcome treat, towels, soap and a toothbrush. They had breakfast tacos waiting for me in the morning and we spoke for hours about what to see and do in Texas. Suzanne even drove me around the city and explored with me, introducing me to some delicious BBQ and driving me to the airport after. I definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for something cheap, a few miles from downtown, and hosts who will really educate you about the area and make you feel comfortable. Oh! And Kitty and Jeb were adorable and friendly roommates."
378626,27371626,2015-03-02,6824489,Brett,"The listing was very accurate. Suzanne's spare bed was cozy and comfortable, the linens and towels were clean, and she provided a few necessities I'd forgotten, like a toothbrush. The apartment was easy to access as well. 

To be sure, it wasn't a private room. I didn't spend much time in the apartment, but whenever I did, it was clean and quiet, and Suzanne and her animals were friendly and cordial. I especially liked her cat.
"
378626,28080865,2015-03-17,27322173,Alexander,"My stay was great, the place was just as I imagined it, and the hosts were wonderful. This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction than staying with Suzanne and Jason. The bus was easy to use and provided convenient access to SXSW, and the Lyft rides weren't too expensive. The only downside was that it wasn't very walkable to downtown, but the apartments were nice and it's in a gated area that felt safe. The adorable dog and cat were a nice bonus."
378626,28679814,2015-03-28,4759249,Avalon,"Suzanne has such a nice space available for her guests. The area is well decorated (all the artwork inspired me to spruce up my place...) and the bed was super comfortable! She was exceptionally accommodating (e.g. lending me a water bottle, helping me make coffee, offering tea...) and quick with suggestions when asked. I loved her pets, they are very sweet, geriatric and lovable animals. No complaints whatsoever."
378626,28710948,2015-03-29,19591672,Wilfrido,"Suzanne was very prompt in checking up on me upon my arrival to the city. While she was out of the unit when I arrived, she made sure to leave me a way to get into the place and make me feel at home. They also provided some bread and drinks and the shower was really neat!"
378626,29753099,2015-04-12,7033794,Vincent,"For a problem, have not been able to know Suzanne, my boys were very good.
The house is a very friendly, clean and spacious.
Suzane was very friendly and a great hostess.
back for sure"
378626,33573755,2015-05-30,7631710,Ben,"Suzanne pretty much bossed the whole AirBnB thing. She's an ace host and her boyfriend is great too. She picked me up from the airport. She has the fluffiest cat (Kitty) I've ever met. If life gets too much for him he hides in the closet, which is cool because sometimes life gets too much for us all. The apartment was ultra clean and the bed was comfy. Not much more to say other than I hope I'll be staying with Suzanne again next time I'm in Austin. 10/10"
378626,34477284,2015-06-08,30729758,Kodiak,Suzanne was great! The apartment was clean and in a great location to get to anywhere in Austin. She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again if passing through Austin! 
378626,37126495,2015-07-04,37367003,Dave,"This was my first time using Airbnb and the place was exactly as described. Suzanne was a great host and when I arrived she provided a list of recommended places to visit, eat and drink at which were close by or near the centre of the city.

The house is very clean and I was made to feel welcome as soon as I arrived. As described in the post this is a shared space. The bed is a matress in the corner of the living room and is really comfy and has curtains around it, giving it some privacy.  I would have no hesitation about stopping here again or stopping for more than one night.

The location of the home is just 2 minutes walk from a bus stop, with regular buses from downtown until the early hours of the morning. Making it an ideal place to stay  when visiting Austin"
378626,42794338,2015-08-15,38034663,Cassie,Suzanne was great! Gave great advice on where to go in Austin. Very close to airport 
378626,43729296,2015-08-21,41573625,Manda,"Super comfortable bed and cozy environment. And it doesn't matter what kind of day you had; petting their Labrador, Jeb, will make it better. Would definitely book again"
378626,43891773,2015-08-22,42124056,Javier,She and her boyfriend couldn't have been better hosts. Incredible people!
378626,45613072,2015-09-04,5443569,Anya,"Suzanne was great host, very kind and accommodating. She even offered us beer after our vehicular troubles from a previous location along our trip and made late night dinner suggestions! "
378626,49695610,2015-10-05,44721389,Alex,Suzanne and Jason made us feel right at home. They had everything we needed and then some. They have a really cool apartment with a beautiful view from the back porch. The apartment is in convenient part of town with easy access for bus/uber pickup.  Their dog Jeb is cool too!
378626,50293879,2015-10-11,3951964,Alexander,"Great host, super friendly and welcoming - even had a whole toiletry kit setup and ready! - way more than we usually get from an Airbnb. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again! Thanks!"
378626,50849580,2015-10-15,6959744,Ellie,"Suzanne and Jason were totally awesome hosts. They are really easy going and up for hanging out if you're around,  which is cool because they're really fun people!  If not, they'll give you lots of tips and recommendations for enjoying Austin. The bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of privacy. The flat is spotless and the  pets are an added bonus."
378626,51425783,2015-10-20,12224803,Steve,"I really enjoyed my stay with Suzanne and Jason. Very nice couple and very accommodating. Suzanne even picked me up from the airport! She has a little book she's created with ideas and resources for your visit in case you need it. The bed (actually a mattress on the floor) was comfortable, and the bedding was clean and inviting. The bathroom (shared) is very well equipped with items you may need if you've forgotten them. A couple things to be aware of: 1. It's definitely not private space. You're in a curtained area in the living room, and the curtains don't give you complete privacy. 2. They have a dog and a cat. They were big advantages for me because I love animals, and they were really sweet, but if you're not an animal lover, you may want to go elsewhere. All in all, for me, a positive experience."
5591462,30801855,2015-04-27,21911489,Stephanie,"Sarah has a beautiful apartment with a gorgeous view of the river in Austin. Rainy street is a great little pocket of bars a restuarants while still being close enough to the rest of the action near sixth street/downtown.  

Even though Sarah was out of town when we arrived, she made it super easy for us to get into the building and was very attentive to any questions we had via texting.

We loved her place and would for sure stay again when visiting Austin!

"
5591462,33183067,2015-05-25,15244112,Vanessa,"Sarah is not only an exceptional host but her place is insanely gorgeous! So much so that I wish I could permanently rent out her place a few weekends per month :) This is the second time I stay at Sarah's and her apartment is always neat, and extra clean, which I really appreciate. And then those VIEWS outside her windows are to-die-for. I really can't stress it enough. The location is ideal for someone who appreciates nature since you're on the lake and there are bikes for rental downstairs, but it also perfect for a girls' trip (tops three people) since you're right on Rainey Street, which is known for its bars and restaurants -- a perfect experience for a Saturday night out or Sunday morning brunch! "
5019718,28389781,2015-03-23,12211986,Ashley,Brent and Buddy were great to work with. The home was spacious and clean as described and they were excellent communicators throughout the entire process! 
5019718,36596317,2015-06-29,1011131,Brendan,"Brent is phenomenal. He had a few beers in the fridge for us, made sure the place was clean and we had everything we needed. 

We had a big group and the place was perfect. Great times, great place, great host."
5019718,38289241,2015-07-14,14373946,Rene,"The house was awesome! It had plenty of space to host our large family gathering.  I was nervous because my family was so big but there was plenty of space and rooms. The host was GREAT! He was very responsive to texts and really went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I would totally stay here again. GREAT location, GREAT host, GREAT house. "
5019718,40918506,2015-08-03,30203954,Sean,"Brent was very accommodating for our group of 15. The members of our group who arrived early (noon) were able to drop their items off at the house while the house was being cleaned. Brent promptly brought additional towels when I called him our second day of the trip.
The house is quite large and was suitable for a group of our size (15). The house definitely makes more sense for a bachelor/bachelorette party rather than a party that is equally men and women (3 bunk beds/open rooms). The second floor wrap around porch is definitely the highlight of the house and is perfect for night-capping an evening.The inside of the house was no frills, which for our purposes was great because there was little incentive to lounge around the house and miss the sites of Austin.
The house is in close proximity to 6th street ($6-8 Uber ride/25 minute walk). I felt comfortable walking back and forth from 6th street. The street has several bars/pinata shops/ breakfast taco stands nearby. "
5019718,46136705,2015-09-08,34920664,Eric,"Brent was an awesome host and we couldn't have picked a better place for our party. The house was huge and fit 14 guys perfectly. Everyone had a bed. The place was also right across the street from awesome tacos and smoothies so the hangovers were quickly cured. Brent was great about giving suggestions for things to do also, which there is no short of in Austin. Overall, a spectacular weekend and a great house to spend it in."
5019718,46898732,2015-09-14,39821121,Kevin,"Brent made us feel very welcome and even stocked the fridge with beers, Gatorades, etc. He was very responsive to text questions and even listed out cool places to go each day of the week in the kitchen. It was a perfect place to stay for a large group (16 total) and the location was also great. Good breakfast taco truck and BBQ across the street, as well as good bars and restos all within walking distance. "
5019718,48438776,2015-09-26,3223916,Jeff,Brent was a great host and the location of the house is very convenient.  We had a rather large group (12) but whenever we had a question or an issue Brent was extremely responsive.  The house was everything we needed it to be and the host and location were more than we expected.  
5019718,48870249,2015-09-29,6206500,Chris,"This house is amazing for a large group...very cool wrap around decks on both the first and second floors, two larger master bedrooms, and second floor bunk beds. Brent was great and made everything very easy for check-in and an overall fun stay! I recommend this place for anyone wanting a spacious house in an up-and-coming area of Austin!"
2255308,11154184,2014-03-23,2753411,John,"Beautiful home close to many attractions! Our stay at this home was lovely, clean, and welcoming! We would certainly stay here again! BEDS were amazing! Kitchen was very useful and there was literally everything you could possibly need (including the handy coffee grinder), beautiful master bathroom, quiet neighborhood and nice host! If you are looking for a nice place to relax or simply a place to call home for the weekend THIS IS THE PLACE!"
2255308,28609349,2015-03-27,28076384,Kelly,This house was perfect for us. It is roomy and comfortable. It is in a quiet and clean neighborhood and conveniently located to many of Austin's attractions. 
2255308,46002049,2015-09-07,9475516,Aaron,Hosts are very well organized with an email outlining all the information you need to know upon arrival.  The house was perfect for what we needed in an older neighborhood that is rapidly improving with a southwest contemporary style.  Although the house was older it was thoughtfully upgraded with all the amenities needed for a short or longer stay.  We were able to cook everyday and our kids enjoyed feeding to fish in the little fish pond. It's centrally located a quick drive to down town or North Austin.  Unless you are looking for room service and a 5 star resort experience you will be happy with these accomodations.  For the latter try the JW Marriott downtown.
2255308,46808817,2015-09-13,43307928,Dolca,The house was beautiful and very comfortable for all 7 of my friends and I. Very clean and cozy and i highly recommend staying here. Very close to it all in Austin (:
2255308,47128576,2015-09-15,17260737,Nichole,"Wonderful area.  Very cute home.  It was clean, comfortable, plenty of amenities and well decorated.  I would stay again. "
2255308,51108777,2015-10-18,29870892,Laurie,"An absolute gem in a wonderful Austin neighborhood. I rented this darling space for my family to stay in over my wedding weekend here in Austin. The pictures of the house are fantastic but the space is even cuter in person. What an amazing house. Super comfortable beds, the bathrooms are GORGEOUS and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies. We loved our experience there. "
2255308,52130595,2015-10-26,2052069,Bethany,"What a wonderful place to stay!

I was in town with a few colleagues for a project, and this was the perfect spot. The home has been beautifully updated with a well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms, and cute decor. If it weren't raining all weekend, I would have loved to spend time on the back patio too. Location was nice and quiet, but still easy to get around town.

I was also impressed with Amanda and Greg. They provided all the information I needed for a smooth check-in and were very responsive to all my messages. I'll definitely consider staying here again, especially with a small group of people."
8666253,52283516,2015-10-27,46662311,Amanda,"Ian was an excellent host!!  He was very responsive on our initial trip in and available as soon as we arrived.  He provided a great introduction to the apartment as well as welcoming gifts and toiletries if needed.  The apartment was clean and felt very homey, including a beautiful porch.  Everything we needed was there.  Parking was easy and free, there is pool and tennis court access if desired.    The neighborhood is safe and quiet.  There are major grocery and general stores close by including Target/walmart and a lot of restaurants.  Its right off the highway so its easy and quick to get to downtown and the airport.  We stayed for the Formula 1 race weekend so it was also easy to get to Circuit of Americas.    In summary this was the best experience in accommodations I have every had!  Affordable, clean, safe and accessible.   I would HIGHLY recommend Ian and his apartment to anyone looking to stay in Austin!   "
2041847,10760768,2014-03-06,5522628,Dustin,Stacey was responsive and easy to work with throughout the booking process. Consider this spot if you are looking for a quiet place in the middle of downtown Austin. 
2041847,11008620,2014-03-17,11919158,Mike,"We couldn't have stayed at a better place. The apartment was clean, located in the heart of the action and the best part, the amazing customer service we got from Stacey. Everything was so convenient and made our stay extremely enjoyable. This will be the definite spot to stay when I am in Austin again!"
2041847,11916801,2014-04-19,2525706,Whitney,"Great place- clean, convenient, and homey.  I would recommend it to anyone! "
2041847,12078177,2014-04-22,11729781,Aaron,"Great apartment, ideally located to explore the city, especially 6th Street and Rainey Street. We slept 6 which was a bit of a squeeze, but perfectly manageable. We had an excellent stay."
2041847,12813180,2014-05-12,11826293,Catriona,"Stacey communicated promptly and clearly with concise and easy to use directions to the condo and with a useful home manual.
The condo is very comfortable, was perfect for our group of 4 (2 couples). The kitchen has plenty of equipment and is well set up.
It was easy transportation by #100 bus from airport, and once you're at the condo you are in the heart of downtown and easy walking distance to many attractions.
We were in town for a wedding and this was a perfect home base... It would be an awesome alternative to a hotel for anyone at the Convention Center, too.
Beds and linens are all comfortable and good quality. Fans and air-conditioning work well to maintain comfortable temperatures."
2041847,16315619,2014-07-25,9225587,Mike,Very clean and comfortable. Only 50 steps from the gate to the convention center. Ideal location for any conference. Would book again. 
2041847,17485910,2014-08-12,19568765,Margaret,"We spent almost four days in this charming condo. It was very clean and included everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Stacey replied to our questions promptly. The best part was location, only a short walking distance from 6th street and close to many great restaurants. We had a great time! Thank you, Stacey!"
2041847,18873909,2014-09-02,15436998,Ramin,Can't beat the location.  Very comfortable stay.  Would recommend to anyone looking for a place near everything downtown.  
2041847,20619135,2014-10-02,21294545,Emily,Stayed here for a few nights with a colleague while in town for work. Great place right in downtown Austin! Everything was close by - we could walk to the office and lots of restaurants nearby. It was a good set-up for two people as the bedrooms were separated by a living room and each had a full bathroom near it. Would definitely stay here again!
2041847,20891134,2014-10-07,12813570,Sandi,"We had a very positive experience with the rental we did with Stacey through Airbnb.   The unit was just as described, and Stacey was accessible and helpful while we were planning our vacation and upon our arrival. "
2041847,21276173,2014-10-14,15421442,Quinn,"Staying at Stacey's condo in downtown Austin was a great experience. The condo was clean, cozy, and had all the amenities for a long weekend. Most of all, the condo was in a perfect location. Only a couple blocks from 6th street, my group was within walking distance to just about everything. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
2041847,22943614,2014-11-18,2235857,Candice,"Got the email instructions we needed to get inside and everything was super easy. The apartment was cute, comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was great -- right in the heart of Downtown Austin!"
2041847,23042565,2014-11-21,22900677,Joe,This condo was exactly what we were looking for and it didn't disappoint.  It was very clean and comfortable and located right near the convention center and downtown.  The only negative was that with three adults trying to get ready for a conference at the same time we quickly ran out of hot water.  After the first day we adjusted our schedules and all was fine!
2041847,23577197,2014-12-05,21152507,Megan,"Condo was clean, quiet and comfortable. Located in a very convenient  downtown location.  Stacey immediately responded to our questions.  "
2041847,25845672,2015-01-27,2742762,Ryan,"We had an excellent time!  Stacey made check-in really easy, and the apartment is in a great location!  The apartment was a wonderful place to come back to after a day on the town.  "
2041847,26043342,2015-02-02,1525348,Deb,"We really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and convenient.  It was also great to have a parking spot!  We enjoyed being able to walk to pretty much everything.  And by everything I mean bars and delicious food.  

As other commenters  have written, we ran out of hot water on the first day.  Just plan for that if you're a large group!"
2041847,27389080,2015-03-03,6040400,Kate,Great location and great condo! Stacey was great at communicating and everything worked out well. 
2041847,27646877,2015-03-09,26131030,Kindra,Cute place right in downtown. Good experience overall. 
2041847,28979133,2015-04-02,22753217,Stefan,"I didn't met Stacey but our mail contact and the self check-in instruction was excellent. The condo was perfect for us and there was absolutely nothing to complain on. I give the location more than 5 stars, close to shops and many music venues (the main purpose for our stay), public transportations and a taxi station just across the street."
2041847,31880344,2015-05-11,25391052,Mark,"Appartment was as advaertised and as expected.  Really close to the centre of town so able to walk to most things, car parking was very useful but a bit of a business when arriving for the first time and leaving for the last time.  Appartrment was very comfortable with good quality fittings and linen.  Will definately re-book if ever I come back to Austin"
2041847,32355005,2015-05-17,321998,Daniel,"Great, central location next to convention center.    Clean and generally positive experience.  Great to have a parking space!

Some small things kept us from giving it 5 stars -- non-working DVD player & TV, no soap/shampoo to use in shower (we had to go out and buy our own).  

And although the second ""B"" in AirBnB stands for ""breakfast"" there was none at this unit.  Although we find that many AirBnB rentals omit the second ""B"" so it's more of a 'nice to have' when it happens."
2041847,33076584,2015-05-25,19853796,Khalid,"She was very responsive and clear about everything that needed to be done prior to check in and check out. 
The place was clean and quiet. 
Everything was as expected"
2041847,34417844,2015-06-08,30236143,Mary,"We had a great stay at this place. The apartment is comfortable, clean and right in the middle of downtown Austin. We walked everywhere.  We loved this place and would definitely book again."
2041847,37309956,2015-07-06,19656497,Richard,The place was clean and ideally located. The place looked exactly like the pictures and the check-in/out process was simple. I would recommend Stacey and her place to everyone
2041847,45085322,2015-08-31,36552216,Annie,"Our small group had a blast staying in Stacey's groovy condo! It was the PERFECT location for hanging out in downtown Austin, as well as joining a friend's wedding festivities at the nearby Westin. We saw it all from the capitol to the lake and were able to walk everywhere, including the parties for the wedding. The condo was spacious, very clean and easy to access with the keyless entry. Stacey was extremely accommodating allowing us to put our bags in the condo before check-in time, and she was very easy to communicate with. Some other reviews stated there was a hot water issue, but we had no hot water issues with 5 of us in the condo and a few taking showers back to back. This was my first AirBNB rental and I could not have had a better experience. Thank you Stacey! We did our best to keep Austin weird! :)"
2041847,48669804,2015-09-28,4154381,Elizabeth,"Stacey's home was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our four night stay.  We were pleasantly surprised to find shampoo in one bathroom and bodywash in the master bathroom.  Checking in was very easy and smooth.  My husband and I along with our 17-month old traveled to Austin with another couple who also had a 15-month old.  Though it did not have a dining table we came prepared with portable chairs to hook onto the bar counter for our babies.  Fortunately the home did not have a lot of nick nacks so my son was able to roam around freely without me worrying about him getting into trouble.  We had plenty of clean towels and having use of a washer/dryer was very convenient.  The home is very quiet even though it is a downstairs unit next to a somewhat busy street.  It's in a great location and walking distance to many restaurants.   There is a Starbucks  right across the street.  We were in town to attend a wedding and were able to walk to the wedding venue.   We would definitely stay here again."
2041847,50614948,2015-10-13,33854848,Jason,"Great Host! Sent message a few days before with some tips and best practices. 

Apartment was very clean and there were no unexpected issues. Fit six of us rather nicely. Pull out couch is a little uncomfortable, but after a day at ACL, anything would do!

Location could not be better. Short walk to 6th and was even walk-able after ACL (though it was a long one). 

Overall, highly recommend this listing!"
5512277,29125669,2015-04-04,14818377,Thor,"The apt matched the pictures. When something (out of the owner's control) broke, he was very attentive and had it promptly fixed. "
5512277,29585089,2015-04-09,1314124,Romana,"We had a nice stay here!  Communications were quick and they were very flexible with our changing schedule. It's close to the fwy and easy to get to downtown.  We were there to testify at hearings at the Capitol, and they were not over till around 2am, then dinner and we got in about 3:00am, bed about 4:30am.  We were  extremely grateful that we were able to sleep in late the next day before driving back to Houston. Do be aware it currently doen't have a microwave, and frozen dinner's don't work too well in a pan. The bed was comfortable, the couch not quite so much. Also no tv at all, but we had netflix on our laptop, amd the internet worked great.  Liked the little private yard a lot! Overall, enjoyed our stay very much! "
5512277,29772817,2015-04-12,28028808,Xiomara,"It was a nice cozy private guest house, host had great fast  communication, it's only 15 minutes away from 6th street, all though I tried to wash clothes there was very little detergent but Enough for one wash, it's a great place to stay if your here to explore with a group of friends because the 3 beds were really convenient, I would definitely stay and would recommend !  "
5512277,30153252,2015-04-18,29046304,Sarika,"A little bit hard to find, but once we found an easy place to access & a great place to stay. Wren was great with communicating any pertinent information & everything is easy to find once you're in the airbnb. "
5512277,30263100,2015-04-19,17010665,Samantha,We got exactly what we paid for! It was a cheap place to stay for the night. The house was easy to find and a great location to the city. Our hosts were accommodating and easy to get ahold of. Their recommendations for the area were very helpful and wonderful as well!
5512277,30916205,2015-04-28,32004272,Shaun,Place was clean and suitable for what we needed for an evenings accommodation for 4 people. Thanks alot.
5512277,31229547,2015-05-03,30024144,Bejoy,Description of the place is very similar to the posting. Very simple garage apt with a room and living room space. Easily accommodates 4 to sleep but 6 would be a little harder. Wren was very good about returning calls quickly and helping with anything. Loved the stay and would stay again if I'm in the city. 
5512277,31785957,2015-05-10,25267135,Kenny,"wrens place was just as advertised! comfortable to sleep in and close to everything via rental or uber!

would stay again!"
5512277,32361818,2015-05-17,29046304,Sarika,"Great place to stay! The place is always clean once we get there and it has everything you need for a basic stay in Austin. Also really conveniently located for when you want to go to Rainey or downtown. Also left us water and shampoo, soaps, etc. which saved us when we forgot some of that stuff. "
5512277,32789667,2015-05-21,25327358,Rachel,We had a great stay. Everything was as described and we liked the location for our purpose of house hunting. Would stay there again!
5512277,33269826,2015-05-26,31235386,Sergei,"Cool and simple place, just what we needed. Definitely has a country feel, which we enjoyed, and everything else was as described. Thanks!"
5512277,34348116,2015-06-07,6351685,Alejandro,"Great location, great space. 6th street is only a few mins away so very convenient. Comfortable bed, overall great experience."
5512277,34839989,2015-06-12,10474919,Helen,accommodated for 5 people comfortably. I do recommend for a place to stay.
5512277,35705951,2015-06-21,34876437,Melanie,"Wren was prompt about responding to my messages any time I had questions in a very friendly way, and he gave me some great recommendations for places to visit and eat too. Four of us stayed in this space for a weekend, and it worked out great. Wren left us simple instructions, and let us have our privacy. We were barely there except to sleep & shower, so the space is just what we needed. 

It was very rainy while we were there, so the grass in the yard displayed in the photo with the chairs & the stones was grown over, but we didn't want to be out there anyway b/c none of us smoke, & the weather was hot and rainy. The driveway directly in front of the house was not muddy despite the moisture, so walking to the stairway wasn't a problem. It IS dark at night, so I suggest using a flashlight or your phone to light your way up the stairs. The place is older, so it's a bit musty, and it made my allergies flare up, but it is very clean. There were plenty of beds, and we were comfortable! The window unit a/c and ceiling fans in the house are kind of loud, and some dogs from the surrounding homes barked quite a bit, so I suggest earplugs. I wore some, and slept quite soundly. 

The neighborhood was very quiet, and felt safe. There were people walking, running, and biking all over the streets around the house, and we never felt like we had to worry about security being an issue. I'm also happy with how conveniently located the house was. We didn't drive more than 15 minutes from the house to get where we wanted to be."
5512277,36535335,2015-06-29,32626110,Raymond,"Wren was very prompt in regards to responding to any questions or concerns that I had about the property.  The neighborhood was quiet and in a good location with easy access to the highway.  However, it is difficult to recommend staying at this location without considerable reservations.  The property is fairly dated and it can be seen in the details: there was a stale, musky smell that occupied the house, the walls were cracking and peeling, there was ample mildew in the shower, and some of the linoleum tiles were peeling off of the floor.  In addition, the air conditioning unit, which some other reviewers have rightfully noted as loud, did not seem to circulate the air well into the bedroom, leaving it considerably hotter than the living room.  The majority of the outlets in the bedroom did not seem to be working/were too recessed to properly connect plugs and the bathroom’s ventilation fan was not functioning.  In the pictures, a private yard is shown; however, in reality, the private yard appears to have been neglected for several months as there is considerable growth of grass and weeds occupying the space.  The rate for the property was what initially enticed me to this listing but with all things considered, I feel misled because I do not feel like the pictures accurately showed me the condition of the property, which would have affected my decision to rent.  If you are looking for a cheap house in a good location to rent, then this is your choice; however, be mindful of the many issues associated with the house before choosing."
5512277,37204765,2015-07-05,3743207,Linh,"The apartment was small and a bit antiquated, but it was cozy. The price was definitely attractive for a two night stay in Austin with a group of friends and not to far from the Capitol. "
5512277,38770461,2015-07-18,37732281,Allison,"Our experience was very pleasant. The apartment was very quaint and homey so it was perfect for our two day trip in Austin. With the air mattresses, couch, and bed, it was easy to fit all six of us quite comfortably. We had a wonderful experience."
5512277,38970512,2015-07-19,33066422,Joaquin,"As far was the host goes, everything went well. We never met Wren, but was very quick to reply to all of my messages and there were no issues with our booking. We never met any of our hosts

As far as the house goes, the place is definitely old and in need of a very extensive renovation. The house description from Raymond June 2015 pretty much sums it up; but the is good for a night or two if what you are looking for is literally a go-in, sleep, get-out type of place.  "
5512277,39677220,2015-07-25,8190335,Rileigh,"I have to say that this apartment should not be rented out, it is a safety hazard on multiple levels. However I will say that Wren was very cooperative. But he clearly is not aware of how run down this space is, cracked drywall, mold, dead cockroaches, faulty foundation. We arrived in the middle of the night, woke up and left. Once I spoke with Wren he did give us a refund. I do not mean to be unkind, but as a mother, I did not feel like my children were safe here and he should not be renting this space. Sorry."
5512277,40501747,2015-07-31,14383165,Sue,My family and I experience was great.  There was 5 of us.  The house is older and on second level.   It was very clean and the air conditioner worked wonderful in the living room.     There wasn't air conditioner in the bedroom but it didn't get hot in there.  The ceiling fans did a good job.   The host was wonderful and responded fairly quickly   Washer and dryer worked great.  Was very simple place.  The wifi was fast and solid connection.  There is no tv but we brought laptop with.   The only challenge we had was limited dishes for cooking for a family of 5.  We ha to be a little creative.   I would definitely stay there.   Thank you Wren
5512277,40660621,2015-08-01,39057601,Jennifer,The house was good for us - plenty of room and places to sleep. Was clean and just what we needed for a great price! 
5512277,40822958,2015-08-02,39086065,Angelica,"For the one night it was a good choice, a little cramped for 6 people though .. I'd definitely recommend no more then four. "
5512277,41761595,2015-08-09,34970056,Jonathon,"The place is in a great location, and is perfect for a place to lay your head and get a shower between activities. "
5512277,46149769,2015-09-08,15422788,Clark,Functional small apartment.  All the pictures are accurate and it's in a nice quiet neighbourhood.  Wren was very responsive to all questions.
5512277,46913004,2015-09-14,36163648,Jennifer,"We came without expectations as it was a cheap place to crash for one night. Unfortunately, it was disappointing. We addressed our concerns throughout the stay and into the next two. They have yet to be resolved to our satisfaction. My biggest concern was that within 15 minutes of arrival, my daughter's knees, feet and hands were black! If it was cleaned, as we are told it was, it needs a DEEP cleaning. There was only 1 washcloth to be found for 6 people. It was sweltering upon our arrival, and the overhead light and fan did not work in the livingroom. We had to fetch clean towels from the dryer downstairs and lug a hamper full of laundry up a flight of stairs to the unit. One person tripped going up the stairs as there was no outside light. It was just disappointing even with no expectations to start."
5512277,47926807,2015-09-21,34534714,Samad,The response of the host was very good and helpful. The place was accurately described from the pictures and comments. Great North Austin location with close access to the main highways. It is really a place to just lay your head down and prepare for the next day of activities. 
5512277,49426027,2015-10-04,35549470,Nigel,"This was my first experience with AirBnB - and it had pros and cons.  First, the listing seems pretty accurate - plenty of air mattresses and places to sleep - however very little floor space.  It becomes like a bounce house if you try to set everyone up.  The photos must have been taken some time ago as the place is much more run down than in the images.  Tiles come up in kitchen, walls and ceiling have big cracks from the building leaning slightly and the shower is stained.  The bathroom fan doesn't work either and the window was stuck which isn't ideal for a bunch of dudes sharing in confined space.  Overall this was worth the money.  I wasn't expecting a five star hotel but it was definitely a bit sketchier than we imagined it would be.  Never met the host or the fill-in hostesses (which is fine).  We gave this listing the nickname of The Trap House due to location and setup.  Nevertheless, worth the savings staying here.  Uber is only minutes away, too."
5512277,51740852,2015-10-24,35787272,Lucynda,The pictures looks better than reality.
5512277,52093317,2015-10-26,37245465,Michael,"Exactly what was expected from the descriptions. Great host, very responsive and welcoming. Thanks Wren!"
3513732,20852542,2014-10-06,14296480,Christina,Really loved the way the house was decorated (especially the kitchen) and had everything we needed for our stay.  Andrew was accessible and a great host.  
3513732,22310053,2014-11-03,21942241,Tiffany,"Andrew's house is beautiful! Tons of light drenches the common spaces and the bedrooms; the back yard is great for a casual bbq. 

Andrew made us feel very at home; he had written an informative note on the house with some directions and suggestions for places to see in Austin! He was available to talk me through some specific equipment related issues and responded quickly via text.

We loved having this house! We would stay again in a heartbeat! "
3513732,33068084,2015-05-25,25214544,Ann,"We had a great weekend The house was  centrally located just blocks from our favorite Sushi Restaurant and not far from UT campus. the room living area was spacious and comfortable. Beds were a queen, double and blow up mattress. "
3513732,45456734,2015-09-02,10117354,Mackenzie,The host canceled this reservation 35 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3513732,49633272,2015-10-05,35503019,David,Andrew was an amazing host. Had a few minor questions I had to ask during our stay which Andrew answered immediately through text. The sonos speakers he had was a huge plus which made our stay even more better. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's visiting Austin
9128136,52795458,2015-11-01,47594349,Trevor,"I had a fantastic stay. Great apartment space, tastefully furnished, comfortable beds, clean, neighborhood was fantastic as well, all of my party felt safe and comfortable. Location was awesome for enjoying Austin to its fullest! Virginia was quite nice, helpful for all my questions and left the perfect essentials in the fridge. I couldn't have imagined staying at a better place for my trip! "

347449,28095656,2015-03-17,28578130,Allison,"The place was perfect - it was walking distance to coffee, grocery store and some restaurants and also very close to downtown.  It was a beautiful apartment and a nice comfortable space.  Rachelle was the perfect host- she was responsive to all of my questions before and during the stay.  I would definitely stay there again.  "
1780770,8981488,2013-11-30,1560576,Carl-Johan,"What a great place! 
Most important: the bed is super-comfortable!

The  neighborhood is quiet, nice walks to be had in these streets. Just around the corner; Stacy park, with pool and exercise/jogging area. 

Walking distance to the restaurants of 1st Street and Congress. 
Everywhere else is a $15 cab-ride away. 

I highly recommend this place, especially for longer stays. 
Fran, thank you for being a great host, hope to see you soon again. "
1780770,11655921,2014-04-11,10621116,Josh,"We really enjoyed our 3 month stay in Austin, and a large part was staying in the treehouse.  Fran was a very accommodating host, and always very helpful and nice to talk to. We also enjoyed Arlo and Ellen, who were very nice and welcoming. We hung out quite often in the yard with all of them, Emmy and Arlo loved jumping on the trampoline together. 

The house is located in a great area. We were able to walk to a lot of things. South Congress is a few blocks away, and Big and Little Stacy are also just a few blocks away. The neighborhood is safe, and quiet at night. 

The bedroom has plenty of light upstairs, and all the windows opens for plenty of airflow if needed, and there was an AC, but we never used it. There is also plenty of room for any clothing or items you need to store. Plus there is a bathtub just steps from the bed. The downstairs has a nice kitchenette, and we were able meet most our cooking and baking needs. The bathroom had a huge shower which was a pleasure using. The yard is huge and great for reading, or just hanging out in.

We hope to cross paths with Ellen, Fran, and Arlo again, and recommend staying here while you are in Austin.

1780770,11838218,2014-04-16,730719,Eric,"Fran was a wonderful host! Although he was out of town during our visit, he was very easy to communicate with and responded promptly to all of our queries. We have a 11-month old baby, and Fran was able to install a baby gate at the top of the stairs to help make the treehouse a bit more baby proof. The treehouse itself is super cozy and very Austin-- there's even a sign from Daily juice, one of our favorite (former?) places in Austin, outside the treehouse near the entrance to the grounds. The bathtub upstairs is fantastic as well. The neighborhood is one of our favorites, and it's within walking distance from many great restaurants and shops on South Congress. We'd definitely stay here again-- thanks, Fran!"
1780770,12627863,2014-05-06,2035472,Alessio,"This place is really a little paradise in Austin!
it excessed our expectations.
Charming and beautiful, clean and tastefully furnished, has any comfort you need and gives you a quite surrounding to have a relax night of sleep.
Close to everything (shops, restaurants and spring pools), the host was sweet , polite, professional and very helpful with his precious advises.
this place made our holiday in Austin a better holiday!
totally recommended!!!
"
1780770,22713494,2014-11-12,1197733,Jeff,"Really nice, quiet and private space really close to the soco strip.  Fran was really accommodating and welcoming. Great time!"
1780770,24081039,2014-12-19,20979488,Bill,We wanted to stay downtown for a month and this place fit the bill.  Close to everything.  Quiet and relaxing.  Nice place to stay.  Fran was terrific.
1780770,29683842,2015-04-11,7172168,Vanessa,We loved staying here! The little bungalow we stayed in was charming and private. The upper deck in the back was our favorite spot. I highly recommend staying here!
1780770,30268198,2015-04-19,21762593,Tyler,"I can't say enough about how great our stay was. We came to Austin to celebrate our engagement with friends and hit the town and ended up not wanting to leave the tree house. First and foremost, the bed is incredibly comfy. It was hard to get up in the morning. Fran also has an amazing massage chair that's excellent for someone who just drove several hours to Austin. He and his family were very friendly and welcoming and even left us coffee and toiletries so that we didn't have to worry about them. Besides being provided with all the comforts of home, the location alone is a reason to stay. Just a block away from South Congress and all that it has to offer. I visit Austin frequently and will be checking with Fran first for availability from now on."
1780770,30680826,2015-04-26,25074468,Heather,"We had a great time in Austin and Fran's place was a big part of making it so great. He and his family are very nice people, greeting us with a bottle wine and a couple beers and giving us tips on places to see and eat at near by. The place is really convenient to many sights and great restaurants, bars, and shops. The space is really well done and super comfortable. We loved sleeping ""in the trees"". We would define stay here again and recommend Fran's place to our friends. Actually we already did. "
1780770,33160045,2015-05-25,10566844,Marc,"Neighborhood was perfect, and gave us a great introduction to Austin.  Fran was a gracious host and helped us with all our requests.  We had an amazing time and would return."
1780770,34744247,2015-06-11,34473078,Isabel,"The treehouse truly is a magical retreat! It is so serene and comfortable I just felt all my problems melt away relaxing in this beautiful space. There's plenty of comfy seating areas and the bed was amazingly soft! Fran was so welcoming and available at a moments notice. I loved that there was natural shampoo and soap in the shower because I forgot to bring mine! The kitchen was perfect for a short stay and Fran was kind enough to leave us s bottle of wine and some beers which came handy after a long days work. We absolutely loved the location. Close to a public swimming pool and trail and just a walk away from the market and restaurants. We really enjoyed our stay here and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again :) if you want a relaxing getaway with the true hospitality of Austin, we highly recommend staying here!"
1780770,34926321,2015-06-13,11629886,Elizabeth,"Fran was a wonderful host. He had a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival (the best way to start a vacation!). The ""treehouse"" is quietly tucked away from the street surrounded by trees and a lush garden. It is perfectly quirky with a bathtub in the bedroom (in addition to a full bathroom downstairs). We had a great stay and will be back again."
1780770,39170840,2015-07-21,4607543,Tiffany,"We had the best time staying in Austin at the treehouse. The neighborhood is ideal; we hardly left it! The house is small but you never feel cramped because of the high ceilings on both floors and the layout design is so well thought out. Our stay was during the hot Austin summer and the treehouse stayed nice and cool. The big trees on the property and large back yard were perfect for my 2 year old to safely play in a shady enclosed area plus there are so many fun things back there. Our favorite was the ""jumpoline"" (cute 2yr. old words) and the garden. While we were there, cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes and some strawberries were growing. We made it a daily routine to check the garden for a snack and just to watch how it changed. The host Fran was very accommodating. He asked which amenities we might want and made them available. He was also very responsive when our fridge broke; he had a new one delivered in hours. We enjoyed our stay so much... we have already booked another stay at the tree house!"
1780770,45000341,2015-08-30,21127660,Cole,"Fran and the Treehouse were great as well as perfectly described.  Great location, right off South Congress and only a $6 Uber to downtown.  Very cool spot and I thought was accurately priced.  Fran even greeted us with a bottle of wine and chocolate.  Fran's 5 yr old son was a pleasure to get to meet as well, full of life and energy!  Stay here!  "
1780770,45992245,2015-09-07,8793052,Kristen,The treehouse was awesome! Great location and just overall cool place to stay. Comfy and clean! Fran was an awesome host and was very responsive and helpful. Don't hesitate to stay here!
1780770,47913074,2015-09-21,20367319,Kristen,"Lovely place and great location in relation to SoCo.  Also very easy to catch the bus to downtown, if you don't feel like walking the 30 minutes to get there.  Overall, perfect experience and hospitality.  "
1780770,49053688,2015-09-30,564156,Steve,Loved staying at the Treehouse. It's a cute unit on an equally cute property. Fairly convenient to the hub of things on South Congress which is about a 10 minute walk. The number 1 bus and 801 express bus will get you to downtown pretty quickly if you don't want to drive.  The Riverside Market just around the corner has great breakfast tacos (especially the salsa) and the Con Madre taco truck on Oltorf St. @ East Side Dr. also does a breakfast taco with chicharones simmered in salsa that I still think about in the mornings. 
1780770,51091647,2015-10-17,8710033,Sam,We had had a wonderful experience. Our hosts were extremely accommodating. It was a truly unique and magical experience. 
8294474,51393747,2015-10-19,46403413,Julian,Great place to stay. Very quiet& clean place. Lovely animals. Ousbaldo  was a great host
4366112,22477117,2014-11-07,2234836,Diego,Elisabeth was a great host. So nice person and funny.
4366112,22613195,2014-11-10,22989624,Marc,"I was extremely pleased with my stay.  My room was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and a great location for the music festival I attended.  Elizabeth was very accommodating, as was Chris - you can tell they are used to hosting, as they are very thoughtful and friendly."
4366112,22727264,2014-11-12,18999236,Andrea,"Elizabeth was wonderful and made me feel welcome.  The private room is clean as pictured, and I slept deeply with no noises.  I'd consider going back again if I'm ever in Austin. "
4366112,23277246,2014-11-27,16650407,Mangirdas,Elizabeth is great host. I felt welcome. There is a bus station very near the place - convenient if you need to ride somewhere. Thanks for the cookies!
4366112,23669363,2014-12-07,19261360,Kathleen,"Elizabeth and Chris made us feel very much at home and we got on very well and talked about various topics that night.  The coffee was great.  In the morning, Chris drove us to view the Graffitti Wall and dropped us off later at Congress Avenue where we strolled along and looked at interesting shops and had a nice brunch there.  "
4366112,23815221,2014-12-11,23418056,Jared,Clean house and friendly people. Information provided about the area and how to use personal appliances.
4366112,23919551,2014-12-14,22994808,Theodore,"Elizabeth was very nice and welcoming.  The room is simple and as described.  A small day bed, a table, and a bench to set your things.  The bathroom was clean and tidy; it has a kitty litter box in it, but that wasn't a problem.  The apartment itself was neat and organized, actually quite charming.

I spent most of my time downtown.  There is a bus line very close, but I elected to use the car2go's and Uber to get around.  It is a pretty long walk to reach downtown (about 45 minutes), which I don't recommend you do because...

The neighborhood is pretty rough.  I came back at around 2am on Saturday night and there were some pretty shady characters hanging around.  I've never had a problem walking alone outside at night, but I did not feel safe in this neighborhood."
4366112,24258086,2014-12-23,23873325,Erin,"Elizabeth made us both feel very welcome and comfortable to come and go whenever. She suggested a few places for us to check out and asked us if we had any questions about the area or events (i.e. seeing music)
The post was very accurate. The room looks exactly like the pictures with a private bathroom and clean sheets. The neighborhood was very centrally located with fast (with exceptions to traffic) access to down town and other cool spots. We were warned though that coming back too late via bus was not probably the best idea because of the neighborhood.
We brought our bikes and biked around a few of the neighborhoods. We did not expect how hilly the roads around Elizabeth's apartment would be, but we rolled with it. We had a great time in Austin and it was cool to be able to come and go any time we wanted. She even gave us a free Uber ride card also with numbers or cab companies. 
Che (the cat) was around but not annoying or loud. 
free parking in a locked parking lot!"
4366112,24455355,2014-12-28,4014197,Taiya,"Everything was as described. Super nice couple and the bed was comfy. Easy access to I-35 and lots of food options nearby. Perfect if u need somewhere in the south, but still close to downtown. "
4366112,24694707,2015-01-01,24950595,Mark,Elizabeth was a great host:  friendly and accommodating.  Not to mention her place is in a great location.  Highly recommend staying with her.
4366112,24796248,2015-01-02,25013364,Alanna,"Everything about my stay was great. Being my first experience using Airbnb, I was encouraged that my hosts were so helpful making suggestions about where to go out in downtown Austin and made me feel comfortable the whole time."
4366112,25286587,2015-01-11,25270046,Anna,"I really enjoyed my time with Elizabeth and Chris. They were very helpful and friendly and I felt that I could ask them about anything. The cup of coffee I got every morning, the good company and Chris picking me up from the airport late at night were especially great. The room is exactly as advertised with a very comfortable bed and a private bathroom . Would definitely stay here again!"
4366112,25482684,2015-01-17,23429483,Michaela,"Elizabeth was great, very accomodating. I definitely felt safe and comfortable staying there"
4366112,25584051,2015-01-19,25974922,Kevin,Elizabeth and Chris were very warm and inviting. They know the ins and outs of Austin and suggested many things for us to do while we stayed at their place. Very convenient location if you want to get to downtown. It was nice that they provided our own key to come and go as we pleased.
4366112,25748417,2015-01-25,25071622,Abbas,"I arrived 10PM and left 8AM, which is barely enough time to experience a regular daily schedule. However, the host was more than helpful with everything. I certainly recommend these people. The house in located in a condominium which is practically safe (particularly if you stay inside the area during nights), although the area is not the best after midnight if you don't have car. The sofa is comfy actually."
4366112,25836222,2015-01-26,23891664,Rafael,"Elizabeth's place has a creative ambience and the room was exceptionally comfortable. In terms of price, it's a no brainer. On a personal note, Elizabeth is well informed and will provide you with a wide range of valuable information. This place is definitely is one of my better AirBnb experiences. "
4366112,26026054,2015-02-01,4014197,Taiya,It was my 2nd time staying and I brought along my daughter with me. Elizabeth is super nice and accommodating and even gave my daughter some ice cream. I wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again! The room is perfect with a mattress that pulls out from under the bed like a trundle bed...and my daughter really enjoyed the stay. Wifi was fast and everything was as described. 
4366112,26545663,2015-02-15,2001305,Alan,"Elizabeth, Chris, and Che were wonderful hosts, offering a warm and informative introduction to Austin. The room itself is ideally suited for the budget-conscious, solo guest. Use of a private, separate bathroom is a welcome positive. Shower is great.

The immediate neighborhood and complex is a bit rough around the edges, but was never a problem.

Che is the best!"
4366112,27241599,2015-02-28,26701943,Abhishek,It was a great stay!! Eli was very proactive and accommodated my last minute booking and late check in. She was flexible and accommodated my request too. The room was clean and as expected. 
4366112,27790909,2015-03-12,6605590,Eric,"My goodness, Elizabeth was an EXCEPTIONAL host. She cares IMMENSELY about her guests feeling at home and comfortable."
4366112,27866625,2015-03-13,17555627,Sarah,It was a convenient location and I great communication with host.

I was able to easily get to and from downtown via Lyft or Uber during my stay through SXSW :) Although my time was short for this stay, I would definitely consider staying again next time I am in Austin :D"
4366112,28149127,2015-03-18,17361226,Brendan,Gracious host(s).  Very accomodating.   Thanks for having us in your home.
4366112,28335790,2015-03-22,28659073,Theron,"These hosts were STELLAR! Elizabeth and Chris were not only polite and helpful hosts, they were also extremely knowledgeable of Austin. This was very helpful for experiencing SXSW to the fullest. 

They are perfect hosts for when you are in town for business and want peace and quiet, or recreation, where you might want someone knowledgeable to have great conversations with. 

The house was very clean and they treated us more like family than just a guest. 

I literally couldnt imagine a better hosting experience. They even sent us off with their favorite pizza in Austin and homemade rice krispie treats. These hosts are HIGHLY recommended."
4366112,28628463,2015-03-27,19336125,Renee,"This room was exactly what I needed. I was in Austin for research and knew I'd be gone for many hours and needed a place to stay in the evenings. This worked out great. They were very nice and good hosts. I didn't have many questions about getting around as I had a car but I know they'd be more than happy to help figure out the bus, etc. And there's a cat! A definite plus!"
4366112,28771652,2015-03-29,20993214,Emaad,"Offered me coffee, which was nice but I needed to sleep. Clean place, nice people. "
4366112,29353121,2015-04-06,27437808,Leonard,"We stopped by in Austin during our Texas road trip.
Elizabeth and Chris were really nice and welcoming people. They gave us some valuable tips where to go out in Austin and surrounding and also insights about Texas and the South in general. 
It was a great stay."
4366112,29800232,2015-04-12,21006709,Mary,Host was fantastic. Bed was not really comfortable. Having your own bathroom was great! 
4366112,30231128,2015-04-19,30219388,Allison,"Elizabeth was a wonderful host. Very sweet and did her best to make sure I was comfortable. 
Area was convenient for my needs but not ideal if you want to be in the middle of the action...Still, it is not far from South Congress St. and a short trip to downtown."
4366112,31410869,2015-05-04,5600761,Lisa,"I appreciated Elizabeth's acceptance of my last minute reservation.  Both Elizabeth and Chris were very congenial hosts, I felt very safe and welcomed.  This was my first AirBNB experience and will not be my last.  "

4366112,34908407,2015-06-13,34901052,Miroslav,It was our first airbnb experience. Elizabeth was great host. She gave us lot of recommendations for Austin. 
4366112,38317316,2015-07-14,36810788,Megan,"Elizabeth and Chris were perfect hosts - I stayed with them for the first two weeks of my two month stay and they immediately made me feel right at home. Both were more than happy to spend time chatting with me and helping me out in any way that they could, as well as taking me out which was lovely. 
The listing is clean and tidy, my bed was comfortable and I had everything I needed. I was able to come and go as I please, but always get hold of them if I needed to.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
4366112,38682698,2015-07-17,30434569,Hayley,The stay was great. The room and bathroom were clean. There was flexibility on both ends which worked well for us. We didn't get to meet Elizabeth but Chris was very nice and pretty laid back. 
4366112,38904289,2015-07-19,37268450,Eren,"The place was nice, as it appears in the photos. It's convenient enough--$7 uber ride. Good stay."

Thanks Guys! Britt"
4366112,40366523,2015-07-30,37890677,John,Elizabeth was caring and provided what she advertised. The area was a blue collar section of Austin close to downtown.  
4366112,40691353,2015-08-01,39816036,Chandra,"The room was as advertised, nice and private and very neat.  Very close to campus/downtown. Elizabeth was a wonderful host and  explained everything very nicely. Will definitely consider staying here again on my trips to Austin."

4366112,42727836,2015-08-15,34700475,Jaya,I loved staying with Elizabeth and her cat is pretty awesome and cute... She has HBO and even watched game of thrones with me once... She was very accommodating and let us keep out stuff after checkout for couple of days.. It was my first time living in blue collar area but Elizabeth made it pretty easy and fun
4366112,42960172,2015-08-16,7290692,Shana,"I felt very welcome in Elizabeth's home. The bedroom matched the description and the location was perfect for me- there's a bus station across the street that you can hop on to go straight downtown for $1.25. I enjoyed chatting about cats and current events with Elizabeth, and meeting Che the kitty. I would stay here again and recommend to friends looking for an inexpensive and convenient location."
4366112,44085397,2015-08-23,40588792,Karina,"I really appreciated Elizabeth being so accommodating on very short notice. She was very communicative, and made sure I was comfortable. Her home was very clean and cozy, as well as easily accessible. "

Very accommodating, gave good suggestions on places to see while in town, even though I was only in town for the Lonestar Le Mans races at Circuit of the Americas, and had clean towels and shampoo ready to go. Comfortable bed and good company all around. "

4366112,51179822,2015-10-18,43461392,W,"My experience staying with Elizabeth in Austin was really terrific in every respect!  She made special arrangements to accommodate my very late arrival from the airport, provided excellent directions to her gated community and warmly welcomed me upon arrival.  Her private room and bathroom are great and exactly as offered.  Elizabeth is a very fine host.  Her location is also really ideal for Austin - about a 10 minute trip from the airport and less than that to downtown Austin.  Highly recommend; particularly perfect for airport and downtown business or fun, etc.     "
4366112,51871854,2015-10-24,8492899,Riaz,Elizabeth was a great host and very communicative with regards to my  arrival . The neighborhood was very basic but I did not have any issues with that myself. The house was clean and met my expectations. 
4366112,51876161,2015-10-24,9206022,Julia,Elizabeth was great! The apartment is really clean! 
4366112,52289313,2015-10-27,36596464,Paul,"Elizabeth was very friendly and relaxed.  The room and bed is comfortable and the listing is as described.  She helped me find places and gave advice on the locality - what was good and what was not.  
The location is not that far (5 minutes in a taxi) from Lake Byrd and Downtown - the area is ok, but a little rough and ready.  The apartment is set in a gated complex with a single entry and exit.  There are two decent places to eat - a Mexican cafe called El Pollo Rico (food is Mexican, good and cheap) and Kai Ty (I think it's Vietmanese), I only stayed one night and didn't get to eat there, but I went in to check it out and the food looked authentic and it was busy.  Also, on Elizabeth's recommendation, went to Cafe Creme - great coffee and home made cakes and a great place to hang out and relax in comfy chairs and sofas.  All three places just two minutes walk from the apartment.   "
4366112,52811856,2015-11-01,47831389,Andrew,Elizabeth made my first Airbnb experience a good one. She was able to accommodate my stay despite only having hours notice. Everything was clean and orderly and I have no complaints about anything. She was an excellent host.  
4366112,52953540,2015-11-02,139293,Annie,"Elizabeth was very prompt in responding when I was stranded at the airport after a cancelled flight. Despite dealing with a minor (but pressing) plumbing problem, she patiently walked me through the steps to get to her apartment. It's about 15 minutes by car from the airport and a bus ride away from the lights of S. Congress. I got a good night's sleep in a clean, quiet room, for which I am very grateful."
4366112,53014373,2015-11-03,47277594,Ann,"Everything was as advertised.  Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful.  Directions were excellent.  The room is very Austin, bright and colorful, and very comfortable.  Easy to get to and great location."
68816,312561,2011-06-13,645090,Mark,MR. Doria was great !! It was a great house and very accommodating. Great location. I would very much recommend this house to anyone.
68816,566532,2011-09-25,488075,Jason,"make sure you have a car as a taxi ride is $20-25 to downtown.

other than that this house was perfect.  guido was a gracious host, and the house had soap, towels and other stuff.  the internet was reliable, and A/C worked throughout the house (although the garage was an oven).

if you are a family you should really skip the hotel and stay here instead... if you are a startup which is the way we travel, it works well too.

his wife? ( i think ) greeted us when we showed up to the house and gave us a tour.  and he showed up halfway through are stay to make sure everything was in order."
68816,771419,2011-12-08,1343360,Cassie,We stayed here for a month while on business. Guido was very accommodating to our needs. If we needed anything at all he was more than happy to help us out. The place was wonderful. It had absolutely everything you would need when staying out of town. It was a very short drive to downtown without any heavy traffic. It was a short distance to any shopping or dining without having to sit in traffic. If we are ever in need of a big place for an extended period of time we would definately check with Guido first!
68816,998893,2012-03-14,83314,Kate,"Location: This house was convenient to the highway (35) and in a cute, safe neighborhood.  There's a pretty good HEB grocery store within two miles, along with a target and several other places if you need it.

House: Very cute house, clean, the room sizes were great, everyone had a good-sized bed, with enough bathrooms to get ready in the morning. The kitchen and living area were very spacious with all the accommodations you would need (internet, cable, all kitchen appliances, etc).

I would recommend this place to anyone, though do plan on getting a car if you're trying to do a lot of stuff in Austin, as you're several miles out of town.

Guido is also great, very easily accesible and stopped by to say hello (with some fruit and wine!) and also swung in to take out the trash etc. Very nice!"
68816,1223330,2012-05-03,1761304,Clark,"Great house.  clean, big.   Will be back. "
68816,21289160,2014-10-14,1525424,Edgar,"We were a group of seven for ACL weekend and we had a great time. The house is quite big, four rooms, lots of space and very clean. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with shops nearby. Host was very responsive every time we needed it. It takes around 15mins to get to downtown so you need a car or cab to get around."
68816,21990068,2014-10-27,22631624,Wendy,"Guido was a great host! He replied to my emails in less than 30 minutes.  I had a great experience in Austin and the house topped it off! The house had a great ""homey"" vibe.  It is relatively close to the freeway, so the drive from downtown to the house isn't tedious at all.   "
68816,30782584,2015-04-27,23007323,Madison,"Vincent was awesome. I rented a house for guest to stay at the wedding. He communicated quick, always returned calls or messages within a few hours. When i needed to extend the stay, he was happy to help. 

The house was clean, pretty, and just all around awesome. This was 100x better than any hotel. He was awesome."
68816,33367076,2015-05-27,10981829,Bruce,"Communication with Vincent was prompt, responsive and easy.  

Without prior notice, Vincent upgraded us to another home in the area.  So, although this comment is posted for the home pictured above, we actually stayed in another home on Meridian Oak Lane.  The home was great for our family of 7 with 4 bedrooms, 2 and 1/2 baths, full washer and dryer.  The house was relatively clean, although prior tenants or users probably had pets as we did find pet hair in the creases of the couch.  The house is in an upscale subdivision so it is safe, quiet and welcoming.  The property is also well located with easy acess to I35, downtown Austin and the airport.

The first day and 85% of the 2nd day we were there, we did not have hot water or enough water pressure to take a shower.  To his credit, Vincent got a plumber there early the next morning and they worked together for 10+ hours to fix the problem.  Vincent refunded our 1st night charge although I thought 2 nights should have been refunded.  Airbnb agreed to provide a voucher for 1 night charge for our inconvenience so that worked out okay.

All in all, we would stay in the property again.  We liked the house and its location."
68816,37423123,2015-07-06,37255829,Kayla,Great spot. Original posting got booked and Vincent hooked us up with something better to make up for it. 
1599035,7537312,2013-09-23,4141346,Ken,We really enjoyed the use of Brian and Leah's SoCo house in Austin. Brian mentioned to me that they use the house as well when they are in Austin and the tasteful upgrades and renovations attest that the house was always intended to be more than just a rental property. The house is located on a quiet street within a couple of miles of all the SoCo restaurants and nightlife. Downtown Austin is about a 5 minute drive. I'd happily rent here again.
1599035,7654768,2013-09-28,2498476,David,Walking distance prime locations in SOCO. Newly remodeled and comfortable beds. 
1599035,7816122,2013-10-04,1643458,Ivan,"We stayed at  Brian & Leah`s amazing house for a week and loved it! Firstly: location is the best in Austin, much better than downtown. True Austin spirit is South Congress district and the house is located just minutes WALK from South Congress avenue. Huge cheap grocery store is 5 mins walking, nice Austin style restaurants, cafes, bars, shops and galleries are around. We even didnt take a car at all, because all the attractions of downtown and Zilker park were 30-40 minutes of pleasant WALK! Secondly - house itself is a treasure: big, beautiful, stylish, convenient, very well and pretty expensive equipped, we had everything and more! Thirdly - Brian is a super host, we didnt meet him, even didnt call or write a phone text message, but every communication was more than easy - if we had a question - he just answered us on Airbnb like the same minute. He provided a lot of helpfull recommendations about house, neighbourhood and Austin. And finally Brian gave us an extra hour for checking out. Thanks a lot, Brian! We highly recommend the house to everybody!"
1599035,8500119,2013-11-03,7801005,Sophia,"This house was super cute- clean, modern and in a great location! Only thing to note if you're traveling with a pet is that the yard is not totally fenced in. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to a friend!"
1599035,8573262,2013-11-05,156433,Helena Ashley,"My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Brian and Leah's beautiful house in SoCo. Great location, cozy environment, cool furnishings, and super clean. Would definitely stay there the next time we wander over to Austin."
1599035,8781434,2013-11-18,8763586,Curtis,"Brian and Leah's cool, quiet house was the perfect location for our Austin getaway. We often caught a bus wherever we were going and then enjoyed a cheap cab ride home. Alternately, we could walk back from Congress & 6th in about 40 mins. The house was loaded with new appliances and comfortable furniture. We had some problems with the heat during our stay but Brian and Leah had it fixed as quickly as possible. Would definitely recommend this property without hesitation."
1599035,8928550,2013-11-26,3011599,Ashley,"My stay at Brian and Leah's place was great!  The house is wonderful, clean, quiet and I was able to do some cooking in their beautiful kitchen!  The location is also perfect for checking out music, stores and great restaurants.  Leah and Brian were very easy to work with and very prompt with their responses. I would highly recommend staying at their place.  "
1599035,9345882,2013-12-23,4603622,Mariana & Chris,"Dear Leah and Brian,
Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home. We had a fabulous family weekend in Austin. Everybody loved the house. It was superbly clean and fantastically decorated. We loved the open kitchen/dinner/ living room. There was everything we needed to prepare breakfast. The beds were exceptionally comfortable. It felt like sleeping on a fluffy cloud. The bath linen was also the best quality. The kids had lots of fun playing in the back yard.
We will definitely be coming back and have already recommended you to some of our friends planning to visit Austin.
Mariana & Chris
"
1599035,9466035,2013-12-30,3201945,John-Henry,"I stayed in Brian & Leah's house during the week of Christmas with my family and we had a great stay. The house is well equipped and in a good location (probably a ~15 minute walk to get into the main part of SoCo). The rooms were good size and very comfortable. The kitchen is nice and has most of the basic cooking tools you would need for simple meals. We were cooking Christmas dinner so a baking pan and larger skillet would have helped but we made do without them. Also, we weren't sure if we could use the long horn grill for actual grilling or not. We decided against it as it looked more like a sculpture than a functioning grill so that was a bummer (but we might have been overly cautious)!

Overall, it is a nice house in a nice location with a nice yard. Brian and Leah were great hosts and we'd gladly stay there again."
1599035,9583596,2014-01-03,2988354,Kara,"Brian and Lea's Austin home was the best Airbnb I've stayed in. It was well located near South Congress, a 15 buck cab ride away from 6th street, and right off I-35. It was easy to find and there was ample street parking. 

We were a big party of 10 to 15 guests and, between the couch bed, real beds and blow up mattress, it slept all of us comfortably. The washing machine and dryer are brand new, like almost everything else, and each guest took turns using them. 

The house was by far the best stocked house that i've ever experienced on Airbnb. I was amazed at the length that Brian and Lea went through to provide the house with games. Between the shed and living room, there was a dozen barely used and unopened games. We took advantage of the large grassy back yard to play botchi ball. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and we were without want when preparing for our BBQ. The grill, even though it looks primarily decorative, functions very well.

Lastly, the house was decorated beautifuly and in pristine condition. The AirBNB photos are an accurate representation of this charming place. We were all amazed at their effort to continue their Texan and cowboy theme throughout the house. Everything from the sheets and towels to the ornaments were new.

Brian and Lea were communicative and helpful throughout my reservation.

For the price, quality and value, this was the best experience I've had on AirBNB. Highly recommended!"
1599035,9851820,2014-01-14,8784769,Candace,"We had an amazing time in Austin! The house was super clean, cute and relaxing! I loved the decor and kitchen was fully stock with all the essentials. Brian and Leah's place is also close to everything! We will definitely be back! Thank you!!!"
1599035,10061042,2014-01-28,9708311,Nicole,"my girlfriends and I stayed in this adorable house for a college reunion. we wanted a walkable, easy home to catch up in while still be accessible to the rest of the city! the house was fully stocked, in pristine condition, and a wonderful overall place to stay for our time in Austin. I would recommend this home to anyone!"
1599035,10420913,2014-02-18,9109706,Carly,"Brian & Leah's Austin home was my first airbnb experience and I couldn't have been more satisfied.  

The house was exactly as described.  The longhorn grill is of course the first thing we noticed (came here with 5 others for a long weekend) and it set the tone for a fun, chill vacation.  Only one of us had been to Austin before and we felt so fortunate to be in a really cool neighborhood.  The weather was great and we walked all around to Freddy's for drinks, shopped around on first and ate and drank our way up and down Congress.  We even walked downtown twice.  

We really packed in the fun and the best afternoon was in Zilker Park.  Brian and Leah have a bunch of games (bocci ball, frisbees, footballs, etc.) that really made the day.  Austin Beer Garden Brewery is within walking distance and definitely worth a visit.  Thanks!

"
1599035,10899096,2014-03-12,4263381,Thomas,"We had a great time in Austin living in Brian & Leahs lovely home. Very impressed with the interior and exterior. Also great facilities for washing clothes, cooking and sleeping. I would recommend it to anyone interested in a close-to-town house in a silent area."
1599035,10998547,2014-03-17,10192163,Kelly,"House was awesome! Had everything we needed and far exceeded our expectations. If I were to return to Austin, this would be my go-to house for sure."
1599035,11172940,2014-03-24,11505453,Megan,"Our stay at Leah and Brian's home was wonderful. The house is a quick walk from all the great shops, music and food that South Congress has too offer. It was the perfect way to experience Austin. The house itself is absolutely adorable, I loved all the texas and music inspired decor. The hot tub was not ready yet, but they had just re-done the backyard with an added pool/hot tub combo and it looked like it is going to be amazing. If I make a trip back to Austin, I'd love to come back and I would definitely recommend it!"
1599035,11992188,2014-04-21,5264768,Laurie,"Four of my friends and I stayed in Brian and Leah's beautiful home for a long weekend. The house is spacious, cute, well-equipped, and in a great location. The pool and hot tub were icing on the cake. It was a bit chilly during our stay (by Austin standards), so spending some time outdoors in the hot tub made for some good times. There are plenty of towels, games, and other amenities available and we had no problems with space aside from the single bathroom. Looking forward to staying here again on our next visit! "
1599035,12273984,2014-04-28,12174449,Tania,"We had such an amazing time at this beautiful and well-appointed house. It was clean and comfortable--the beds and linens were so cozy--and it was an incredible location, close to lots of great attractions in Austin. We were so happy with our stay and the house completely exceeded our expectations. Thank you!"
1599035,12540598,2014-05-05,6469610,Abigail,"The house was beautiful, the backyard was a dream and the location was perfect!! We fit 7 people very comfortably for a long weekend and couldn't have been happier with the house.  

Brian & Leah were beyond helpful. I'd love to come back! "
1599035,13204367,2014-05-21,2181224,Vajra,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1599035,14009519,2014-06-10,11342153,Mike,"This house is fantastic. My group of eight people were in town for the Austin Television Experience in June. The house suited our needs and then some. The location is perfect—an H.E.B. is right around the corner, it's less than a 10-minute walk to the bus stop that takes you downtown, and the neighborhood is quite charming to walk through. Inside, just about everything you could think of was provided (even a citrus zester and shaker for cocktails). Through a combination of provided beds, couches, and an air mattress, everyone had a place to sleep comfortably. The pool and hot tub (which were added after we had made our reservation) was where a few of us spent most of our downtime while at the house. The ATX Festival was a blast, but this house was the best part of our trip."
1599035,15768136,2014-07-15,661264,Amber,"This place is gorgeous! It's a stylish oasis! Everything you could possibly want for comfort and entertainment is available, and the guide Brain and Leah left for the house and the city was extremely useful. I highly recommend staying here. "
1599035,16061964,2014-07-21,11273461,Susanna,Highly recommended!  The location is a perfect launching pad to explore Austin - walkable to the South Congress area and a quick drive to other neighborhoods.  The house itself is great - clean and well-stocked with a resort like backyard.  The hosts were also very responsive and easy to work with.  Would definitely stay again.
1599035,17429809,2014-08-12,13077467,Greg,"Brian & Leah were very friendly and hospitable host's, the house is perfect, and it's in a great area of Austin. There's a supermarket right around the corner, your just a few blocks from tons of great places on South Congress Ave, and a just short trip downtown to 6th street. 

The house itself was plenty big enough for the seven of us. The backyard's pool, hot tub and grill, made for fun times when you weren't ready to hit the town. The rooms were all comfortable and clean, and the kitchen and living room were all brand new. 

When we go back to Austin we wouldn't look anywhere else to stay. Thanks!"
1599035,19514454,2014-09-14,4891534,Mike,"This Austin was house was amazing. We didn’t have a car and the location made it easy to explore the city; it’s just a short walk to the cool shops, bars and restaurants on South Congress, and a short bus ride to downtown Austin. There’s a large supermarket just a few minutes’ walk around the corner where we got steak for that longhorn BBQ. The neighbourhood is quiet and felt very safe. Arriving and leaving was made easy by the electronic key code system they use. The house is full of gadgets, had great wi-fi, and the pool has lots of fun features. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay in Austin."
1599035,20406203,2014-09-29,11845653,Angela,Brian and Leah's house was great for our group. We stayed there for a week leading up to our wedding and it was a great central location for us. We were able to walk to South Congress restaurants and the pool was a great place for us to hang out with family and friends. Brian and Leah were very responsive throughout the whole process and we'd definitely look to stay here for future trips to Austin.
1599035,20893483,2014-10-07,16062353,Mike,"Great place, would highly recommend! Loved the pool and hot tub!"
1599035,22642231,2014-11-11,16909202,Nicole,"This house was perfection! Brian & Leah made our trip a breeze. We received the digital lock code and were able to get in once out check-in firmed. The pool and hotub were a nice treat; the house was modern and very clean! Washer/Dryer in the house, a games shed in the backyard which we put to use in the mornings and located within walking distance (25-35min) to downtown! Friendly area; right next to the grocery store so make sure you put the grill to good use! There's even a speaker the connects bluetooth to your mobile device and can be brought outside to enjoy. Inside theres a box with some games in it should you choose to stay in and lay low as well as cable and Netflix. Thank you- we will be back!"
1599035,22888253,2014-11-17,2240032,Sara,Excellent location and lovely home! Everything was very clean. Loved small touches like the iPod Dock. We came during a cold spell and the hot tub was great. Fun to walk to the crow bar for drinks.
1599035,23250823,2014-11-26,3120716,Alec,"First, the house is spectacular!  The pool and hot tub are wonderful, and the living room / kitchen area has this very Austin combination of Texas paraphernalia and high tech gadgets.  The Nest thermostat rocks, and pretty much everything is remote control (including overhead lights and the pool).  There are also cowboys, leather, and wood carvings galore.  We loved it.  
We were exhausted from a coding marathon, and Brian and Leah were great hosts from afar, answering our dumb questions and giving us great recommendations.  We slept well and ate well.  Brian and Leah made Austin awesome.  "
1599035,23423569,2014-12-01,5439222,Ben,"We loved our time at Brian and Leah's house. The description was accurate and the neighborhood was great. We were able to walk to all the fun food and shopping on both 1st St and South Congress. The backyard was a nice place to relax during the afternoon and we enjoyed the hot tub at night. Getting into house the was a breeze and everything worked without a hitch. Their recommendations for food, bars and places to visit were spot on. We would definitely stay here again."
1599035,24408326,2014-12-28,6722898,Anna,"My husband, parents, brother and I stayed in this lovely home together for Christmas, and it was perfect! Three separate bedrooms so everyone had plenty of privacy, and an awesome, open-plan common area for tons of quality family time :-) We cooked several meals in the kitchen and enjoyed using the hot tub. The house was cute, warm, clean and in a super-convenient area."
1599035,24973998,2015-01-04,24658331,Blake,I can not say enough great things about this listing to do it justice.  First of all Brian and Leah were exceptional hosts; any questions/emails were answered immediately.  Even when we arrived early for check in (check in specifically says 3 pm) Brian and Leah were understanding and found the time to help us check into the home early.  The house it self is in a wonderful location and in excellent condition.  We were all shocked and overly impressed about how well stocked the house was...they even had a large amount of toilet paper and that you rarely find in a rental.  We had such a wonderful experience and highly recommend Brian and Leah's fun hip home in Austin!  Thank you Brian and Leah for the wonderful experience!
1599035,25463648,2015-01-17,12791513,Deborah,"This lovely home in Austin has it all. The location is perfect for hanging out on Congress St, loads of great restaurants nearby and quick access to the highways and byways of Austin. The home itself is beautifully decorated and the hosts have thought of everything. There is a heated hot tub in the backyard that is perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. We would definitely rent again from these hospitable owners. "

1599035,26675858,2015-02-17,5555717,The SchaafFord Family,"Four of us had a great time at Brian & Leah's place in Austin. Everything was as advertised.  The location is great. Walkable to everywhere we wanted to explore-south congress, downtown and then some. Restaurants, grocery store all close by. The house was clean and cozy, great place to come back to after a long day of touring around Austin & environs. The hot tub/pool set up is sweet. Brian was super responsive. Great experience overall!"
1599035,27391039,2015-03-03,8633546,Anna,"My friends and I had a very positive experience staying at Brian and Leah's!  Even before arriving, they were great at communicating and accommodating our requests. I know it's not easy hosting large groups and they seem to have mastered it. There are plenty of cups, towels, comfy beds, etc. for large groups.  Although weather was pretty cold and rainy during our stay, hot tub was perfect. It heats up very quickly and is very clean. I will be back! "
1599035,28157236,2015-03-19,7089629,Dan,Great communication and nice place in a cool area with plenty of places to eat and drink in walking distance. A good choice for sxsw
1599035,28303221,2015-03-22,10553103,Nick,The only reason I give Bryan and this spot five stars is because there aren't ten.  An incredible place with so many amenities and a really great location.  Thanks very much for the being such a positive guy and having such a sweet place!! Cheers!
1599035,29258289,2015-04-06,25954451,Molly,"This house was FANTASTIC, wonderful location, beautiful backyard and comfortable sleeping arrangements. We had a blast on our high school reunion! Thank you so much Brian and Leah you made everything so easy and memorable :) "
1599035,30376619,2015-04-21,25503545,Melissa,"My friends and I had a terrific time at Brian and Leah's beautiful home.  It was the perfect staging area for our long weekend exploring SoCo and broader Austin.  The house was clean and quite comfortable, with artful and trendy decor.  We loved spending time in the pool and hot tub.  Brian and Leah provided an exceptionally helpful guide to the house, its amenities, and local recommendations for restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment.  We could not have asked for a better place to spend our reunion weekend!"
1599035,31419994,2015-05-05,23087066,Alistair,House is great. Perfect location and the pool is key!
1599035,31929082,2015-05-12,12901947,Ben,"Incredible experience! Perfect for our bachelor party.  Everybody had plenty of space, and the property was excellent.  Great neighborhood and easy to get everywhere. Highly recommended. "
1599035,35770526,2015-06-22,21455546,Vanessa,"I organized a bachelorette party in Austin for 7 girls and LOVED staying at Brian & Leah's place in SoCo.  The location is excellent and is within walking distance to the shops and restaurants on South Congress and 1st Street.  The house is adorable and in excellent condition. We did struggle to get the hot tub to be hot though.  Overall, great experience!"
1599035,37009368,2015-07-03,15573225,Rebecca,"What a great home! It's beautiful and hospitable. This was a work trip for us. The home itself is comfortable with enough space in the family areas for us to work together. There's also enough private space for us to relax away from each other. 

The location is great - close to a grocery store, SoCo (popular street with charming shops and restaurants), and a 20 minute drive to and from the airport. 
"
1599035,38987315,2015-07-20,3968309,Patrick And Alissa,Brian & Leah were very accommodating. The house was stocked with towels and clean sheets and had enough room for everybody. 
1599035,41925152,2015-08-10,30293153,Kevin,We rented this house for a bachelor party and worked great. There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep and the pool was nice on the hot August days. Brian and Leah did well communicating and providing info on accessing and using the house. Location was a short walk to the HEB grocery store. 
1599035,44098530,2015-08-24,21263496,Bridget,"This house was great for an 11-person bachelorette party in Austin. Brian and Leah were amazing hosts! The house was clean and comfortable, the pool was perfect and the location was exactly what we wanted! I think 11 people was pushing the limits of the house juuuust a little, but everything worked out great. We had plenty of towels and linens to go around and the beds were all very comfortable. Any small issues we had were handled immediately and communication was quick and easy. I'd recommend this place to anyone, and I'd love to return for another trip."
1599035,45098895,2015-08-31,36072757,Bobby,Had a great time in Austin as always!  Great house and location.  Loved the pool and backyard!
1599035,47624080,2015-09-21,3967601,Diana,"Brian and Leah's home was adorable and super comfortable! My party was in Austin for a wedding and it was the perfect base for exploring the city and relaxing. Anytime we got home, we went straight to the oasis like pool. Brian and Leah were very responsive and provided everything we needed.  Highly recommended! "
1599035,48316751,2015-09-25,20862982,Christina,The stay was amazing! Perfect for my bachelorette party! Had so much fun!
1599035,49144128,2015-10-01,41616554,A,The house was just like the pictures. Great pool! 
1599035,50429457,2015-10-12,22851513,Brian,"Had a great first experience with Brian and Leah's house in Austin,TX. They were very accommodating and made the house fee like home for the 8 of us that stayed there. Everyone had a place to sleep. Has a great backyard and pool area! Would recommend this house for families, Bachelor parties, ect. "
1599035,52826955,2015-11-02,12096465,Jennifer,We had a great time at this property! It was close to restaurants and provided a great home base for our large group of friends. 
5641624,27985434,2015-03-15,8141474,Jake,Had a great stay down in Austin! Warm host with good place at good price.
337414,3760241,2013-03-12,1561822,Thomas,"Veronica and her husband Carson are super sweet hosts!  Carson went out of his way to drive me to the food trucks for lunch (I didn't get to Austin until 2:30pm and I was starving), then drop me off at downtown where I was supposed to meet my friends.  Veronica gave me really good tips on breakfast places around Austin.  Though I spent my entire week at SXSW so I didn't see them much during my stay.  And make sure to say hi to their fluffy dog Chef, who will jump up and lick you face!  : )  They also have two cute but shy cats.

Location-wise: this place is safe even at night, though it is residential so very quiet. It is about 10-15 min walk to the bus stop to downtown, and the buses comes only in 20-30min intervals, so make sure you budget your time.  During big festivals (like SXSW), after midnight, some cabs will refuse to take you to this area since they can't get a return fare back - which pissed me off but nothing much I can do (I show them the map on my phone), so bear this in mind.  

But seriously, you can't get a better deal in Austin during SXSW!  : )

"
337414,3826151,2013-03-18,702834,Renee,"We only stayed one night and did not get a chance to see much of our hosts, but we had a very nice stay here. The house was within walking distance of downtown Austin, which was very convenient for SXSW, and their dog and cats were sweet. If you are looking for a no-hassle, economical place to stay in Austin, this is it."
337414,10836449,2014-03-10,10082678,Dawn,"Veronica's place was a great option for us in Austin. A short and cheap bus ride gets you quickly into the heart of town/downtown but it's walkable as well. There are some great bars this end of 6th street which aren't as crowded but just as top notch on music and atmosphere... nice local spots rather than just touristy. We only met Veronica briefly as she'd been out of town and we'd had a full schedule of stuff to get up to but she was really lovely. We spent far more time with the dog, Chef... I have since been doing a ton a research to try to find out exactly which mix of dog breeds he is as I only want a dog exactly the same as Him!"
337414,11043991,2014-03-18,8823778,Gaby,"I really enjoyed my stay with Veronica, she was so helpful, not only with tips for Austin but for all over Texas and I was even able to stay an extra night at short notice.
I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone travelling to Austin!
Chef is the cutest dog ever!"
337414,11782413,2014-04-14,13735309,Connie,Veronica was an awesome host and we all enjoyed our stay with her and Chef (the sweetest dog ever)! Our room was ready for us when we got there and she was great with communication the entire time.
337414,25895815,2015-01-28,11545574,Jen,Veronica and Carson ' home was perfect for my visit. I had a great time playing with the dogs. Check in was easy and well- communicated. I would definitely stay in this cozy abode again.
337414,28010616,2015-03-16,7800112,Rachel,"It's great to stay in an actual neighborhood in Austin, rather than the hotels downtown. You see a lot more of what makes the city so cool. If you have a car you have easy access to everything. If not, it's like a $4 cab ride to downtown, a fast bike ride to most of the city where tourists go, and their house is also within walking distance of a lot of the east side bars, grocers, restaurants, coffee shops and food trailers, and great breakfast tacos. There's a city bike pick-up not too far away, too. And, because your room is on the left side of the house away from the kitchen and the hosts' bedroom -- and you have a private bathroom -- you can really have as much privacy as you want, yet still get the chance to hang out with cool Austin residents or sit in their backyard or porch, if you like.  "
337414,28151934,2015-03-18,29297163,Joshua,"Veronica was great to work with. We were able to schedule at the last minute with no issues.   Location is a 30 minute walk from the action downtown for SXSW. Neighborhood was quiet, with on street parking readily available out front. 

I would definitely go back again if I'm ever in Austin. "
337414,28184032,2015-03-19,26595960,Madison,"Though I only had the pleasure of staying one night in this bungalow, Veronica & Carson were such wonderful hosts! So communicative, and available, and their house was very comfortable for my stay. Wish I could've stayed longer! But will surely consider their home for a return visit. "
337414,28422558,2015-03-23,4634419,Alyce,"Veronica was super welcoming and accommodating! Her dogs are just the best and it was pretty much the perfect place to stay for SXSW - close to the action, quiet, friendly, and fun. She was super flexible,  communicative, provided great coffee, toiletries, and towels, and really made us feel at home. Would totally stay again and highly recommend it. "
337414,33416622,2015-05-27,8184924,Javad,"host made us feel very welcome
we had our own room and everything, came and left as we pleased, and were free to use the kitchen etc as we pleased. couldnt have asked for more"
337414,46576136,2015-09-12,31603612,Mike,"Our stay with Veronica and Carson worked well for us.  And why wouldn't it?  Veronica is a travel writer and Carson is a local chef - so between them that had all the up-to-date local knowledge that we needed to make our stay on Austin a success.  They are also really open and warm people - so we soon felt at home.

We had everything that we needed at their home - and their two dogs were a real bonus for my son Charlie.

The house is within walking distance of some of the neighbourhoods that we wanted to spend time in - and given the way that Uber works in Austin, it was cheap and easy to get to most of the places we needed to get too."
337414,50957662,2015-10-16,44285967,Iain,"I didn't see an awful lot of Veronica and Carson during my stay but when I did they were very nice and welcoming. The house is in a great location. Just a short walk to bars and food trucks around East Austin or a short uber ride downtown.

On the negative side...

I was kind of embarrassed to mention it at the time but both the bedroom and bathroom could've done with a clean before I arrived. I mean, if I had guests coming (paying or otherwise) I would at least make sure the toilet was clean. Which it wasn't. And neither was the bath. The cat hair on the bedspread wasn't so great either. Maybe I'm just being picky. I'm sure it was all an oversight because they'd both been busy but the whole enterprise just felt ill prepared and amateurish compared to other airbnb places I stayed at on the same trip. For the same sort of price, I would add.

Also Veronica double booked me and I ended up having to move out a day before I planned to. To be fair she did give me plenty of notice and it wasn't really any hassle to find somewhere else. Just would've been nice not to have had to deal with relocating on the last day of my vacation. Actually strike that... I was actually pretty glad to get out and move into the new place as it turned out.

I don't like to be negative and I feel bad for not saying something at the time but, like I said, I was kinda embarrassed."
5298083,45822285,2015-09-06,40720926,Meghan,"Our host made us feel very welcome.  She provided us with a nice place to stay and her descriptions of the house were accurate.  It was however, a smaller house than I expected.  It was in a good location, but the house itself is a bit old and could use some updating.  Some of our guests were a little concerned about the neighborhood being safe, but I felt that it was personally okay and we did not have any real concern for our safety while we were staying there.  I.E. there was not a situation that made us feel like we were at risk."
5298083,49436952,2015-10-04,38701084,Farrah,"Such a great location and host!!! Fit 8 of us comfortably for ACL, thanks Kayla!"
1397983,21216465,2014-10-13,12369380,Patrick,"We rented this place for acl and it was exactly what we were looking for. It was 2.5 miles away from zilker park so we were able to walk or take an extremely cheap cab ride to the festival. The neighborhood was a very suburbanesque neighborhood and felt extremely safe. The home itself was split between 4 people. It was a little tight as there was a queen sized bed and a futon that was twin sized, but it was very updated and would be perfect for 2 or 3 people. There is one room with a queen sized bed, a hallway with a very modern and stylish bathroom (with an extremely nice shower) in between, and a common area with the futon as well as a small refrigerator and sink. We never met with the hosts but they were very responsive with anything we needed. It was hot in the bedroom when we first got there so we texted the owners to turn down the temperature and it was done immediately. We were most likely overly noisy when we got back in thr evenings but the hosts let us enjoy our time with no distractions.  Overall I would highly recommend staying here for anyone staying in Austin"
6852340,40877323,2015-08-02,37632669,Kelly,"I highly recommend staying with Travis. He is awesome, and his house is really gorgeous. It was super clean and really nice! It was an experience in itself and in an awesome location."
6852340,52082387,2015-10-26,35543937,David,Travis was a very nice and laid-back host. We communicated very well and checking in and out was very smooth. The place is very clean and I highly recommend this place to anybody. Thanks Travis!
2477149,12430410,2014-05-02,1805486,Quincy,"I recently relocated my entire family to Austin. I have used AirBnB several times but my stay at this residence proved to be my most pleasant experience. This home is a tranquil getaway from the hectic streets of Austin. Also, the host and his family are some of the most genuine and accommodating people I have met to date. Definitely a great find. "
2477149,13605401,2014-06-01,3251739,Natalie,"Let me start by saying how cute The Cottage itself is-- every detail! So crafty! So many great ideas and original art. When I stayed there it was only Michael's Brother's, David and Daniel there. They are the sweetest guys on the planet. They were so attentive and any time I wanted ranch eggs from the chickens I only had to ask Daniel and he'd bring me a garden. My daughter loved playing with the chickens and chasing the bunny, Muscrat. We also had full privileges to the garden fruits and vegetables. It has everything you can imagine. It is a very beautiful and peaceful place in a great neighborhood. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking tranquility and the beautiful oaks of Oak Hill. "
2477149,21785255,2014-10-24,19258142,Jackster,"The real stars of the show are Danny and David, really nice guys. They help you with anything and everything. I came to Austin not knowing anyone and these guys made me feel super safe. They are so courteous and respectful and treat you like family! Please stay here!!!!! Free eggs! Tell David Bowie (the Rooster) I say hi!"
2477149,22300005,2014-11-03,21192167,Clint,"This turned out to be the best possible choice for a very crowded Austin that had a lot of events going on that weekend we stayed. 

The owners have a created a lovely, clean, comfortable place that met all our requirements and then some! A very comfortable bed and a wonderful shower and a fully stocked kitchen make for a great time. There is nice space so you don't feel crowded and even a nice deck to chill out on. 

The location is peaceful and out of the hustle of fast growing Austin but close enough to get to all the events and hot spots. 

We had the nicest time and Michael and family are wonderful people. We will be staying here every time we come back to Austin. 
"
2477149,23037380,2014-11-21,20979488,Bill,"What a wonderful time we have had the last 3 weeks.  Just sorry we did not book early so we could have stayed much longer.  My wife and I just moved from Southern California and the Treetop Cottage fit the bill perfectly.  

Michael was great to work with, his sister, Michelle, met us the day we checked in and was extremly pleasent.  Showed us around, etc.  This cottage looked even better than the pictures.  Enjoyed talking with David, Michael's brother, during our visit.  David was always around if we needed anything, but everything was perfect.  David even taught us ""city folks"" a little about chickens.
We are now off to another ""Tree House"" for a month down in the SOCO area of Austin and hope our stay will be just as great (I think it will).  
If we haven't found a permanent place to settle by next year, we hope to be back.  
Thank you, Michael, Michelle, David & Rick.
Best regards,  Bill and Nancy Stack"
2477149,27195721,2015-02-28,13567707,Megan,"I can't say enough good things about this place!! Best AirBNB experience I've had! First off, the hosts were extremely welcoming and I felt at home right away. They said we could walk around the gardens and make ourselves at home. Michael was very easy to get a hold of and always answered any questions I had immediately. Danny and David were so great, my son adored them! I hope when I come back to Austin this place is available, but I doubt it :( It will be snagged pretty quick I imagine!
It's in a great location, I loved that you were really close to Bee Caves because I used the gym there, the mall, Whole Foods, HEB without having to go into Austin if you were wanting to avoid traffic. But it was only a 20 minute drive to downtown Austin where I worked, so it is a great little getaway where you aren't really that far away. If you stay here you have to try the Doughnut Hole and Juiceland just down the road.
If you have kids or a pet, or just want some running trails close by, Circle C Metropolitan Park is only a couple miles down the road and one of the best little parks in Austin in my opinion.  
Also, you don't really need to bring anything to make yourself at home. Everything you need is already provided (plus we always got fresh eggs from the chickens..store bought eggs just don't cut it anymore!).
Next time I'm in Austin and if this place is available I'll definitely be back!
Thank you Michael, Danny and David!!!"
2477149,34644322,2015-06-10,32626347,Christi,"The cottage was great, exactly like the photos. David and Michael were great. The cottage is in a secluded and quiet neighborhood, with amazing views. I would definitely stay again. "
2477149,44515644,2015-08-27,29073748,Jonathan,"Michael and his family were very welcoming!  The neighborhood is super quiet, very secluded and away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  It was exactly what we needed.  Michael's sister lives right next door, and someone is always there when you need anything.  They definitely did everything they could to make us feel comfortable, and though bug spray is a DEFINITE necessity, the many wonderful qualities of this quaint guesthouse more than make up for any shortcomings."

Great campiste, hot shower outside felt great, all the convenience for cooking.
Nice ride to the city, harder on the way back cause it's uphill but lots of buses."
936496,11820061,2014-04-15,14080425,Shawn,"I feel fortunate to have experienced several days camping and enjoying the friendly atmosphere of Jim O's sanctuary.  So very close to downtown within minutes of everything needed, I can't say thanks enough.  Hospitable, welcoming and friendliness that made me feel right at home.  A very rich atmosphere filled with acoustic guitars and a background of barking frogs, cackling birds and a lazy creek..  A great contrast to Austins vibrant city life.  Many thanks!!"
936496,28393969,2015-03-23,17481856,Lizzi,"Jim was great! The location was perfect for getting in and out of the south congress/downtown Austin area for our stay during SXSW. The land we camped on was incredibly beautiful, everyone was friendly and helpful, the showers were great, it was such a fun experience! If you're looking for a no pressure community camping experience, you'll love it there. It was nice to have Jim and his friends and other campeRs there to ask for tips and suggestions about things to do and see. We had a great time, can't recommend it enough! "

She met me right on time to hand over the keys and we ended up chatting a bit about the place and fun things to do nearby. Her place was clean and comfortable and I felt right at home. The rooftop was amazing also - a great view and a great vibe! It's just so close to everything and I enjoyed it immensely. Hopefully I'll be back soon!"
4186158,21687508,2014-10-21,22402458,Michael,Great communication from Tiffany about rental. Place was nice and clean. Let me check in and out at the times I wanted. Location is great right between downtown and all the south congress shops. Parking is easy if you have a car but you really don't need one if you are sticking around downtown area. Would stay again if ever back in Austin. 
4186158,21977246,2014-10-27,1811794,Jennifer,"We loved our stay at Tiffany's place. It was perfect! Beautiful accommodations, just what we needed for a quick Austin getaway. We walked everywhere we went over the weekend. Location was ideal, and the rooftop a great place to take in the city and share some champaign. "
4186158,22344239,2014-11-03,9193679,David,"Tiffany was a great host.  Check-in and check-out was easy.  Her place was really clean, and it was the perfect location to all things fun in Austin.   She even left us a nice bottle of wine and brews as a welcome present.  Definitely will re-book for future Austin trips."
4186158,22896160,2014-11-17,3884568,Joseph,"Tiffany was a great host.  She was prompt with communication, flexible with arrival & departure times, has a wonderful apartment and was very considerate.  The apartment is in a great spot just off South Congress Ave and the shared rooftop area is as advertised - amazing view of downtown!

We loved staying at Tiffany's place and would happily do so again."
4186158,24882041,2015-01-03,3831838,Alissa,"Tiffany was so sweet and awesome! She was very welcoming and made sure our stay in Austin went well. Before the trip, we had all the information we needed and she gave us a helpful list of things to eat/do/see. Upon our arrival, there was a bottle of wine and she checked in with us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed.

The place itself was nice as well. Centrally located - within walking distance to SoCo - safe and easy to access. Her apartment is very clean and decorated with lots of plants and trees - something I really loved. 

I definitely recommend this place and would stay there again."
4186158,25427396,2015-01-15,1997651,Ben,"Smart, tidy place in a great spot from which to explore (mmm, food) Austin. Tiffany was a gracious host and put up with some ropey communication from me with nary a complaint. I'm sorry we didn't get to meet you, Tiffany, but thank you very much for making us feel so welcome! We'd definitely  stay again. "
4186158,25530330,2015-01-18,6981043,Chris,"The condo was great! Perfect location to bike to the soco shops and restaurants and the greenbelt. Can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy the rooftop lounge area! Tiffany is a sweetheart and even mailed my shoes back that i left there, yes I left my shoes..."
4186158,25664955,2015-01-22,6276672,Wendy,Staying at Tiffany's house was a wonderful piece of privacy in the middle of the SoCo chaos!  The apartment was exactly as described.  She was a terrific host and very responsive to phone calls and emails.  
4186158,25800886,2015-01-26,25371775,Brandon,"Perfect experience! We were only in town for about 24hrs and we were so lucky we found this spot. Tiffany greeted us with a warm hug and showed us around. She went over everything we would need to know, took us on a tour (the roof is killer) and then she let us do our thing. The location is about as good as it gets. A quick walk to soco and about a $5 uber ride to downtown, hard to beat that! My wife and I would stay there again in a heartbeat! Thanks Tiffany!!"
4186158,25908306,2015-01-29,4575657,Jordan,The listing and the pictures were quite accurate and Tiffany was great in the lead up to my stay. She communicated often and quickly and made the experience quite good. 
4186158,26159064,2015-02-05,19236054,Peter,"Tiffany was great.  Very helpful and responsive.  Her place is in a great location, and clean with secure parking. There is no TV but the internet service was great.   Plan on staying there again."
4186158,26396688,2015-02-11,11867275,Marty,The experience using airbnb was made so much easier by Tiffiany's communication leading up to the date of my arrival.
4186158,26620338,2015-02-16,25865836,Ted,"Great hostess, she was very accommodating on check-in/check-out times, and allowed our two dogs to come with us to Austin.  The apartment couldn't be in a better location.  It's very neat and she even had a bottle of wine for us.  The rooftop is great on a nice day.  Will definitely be staying again on our next trip to Austin.  Thanks!"
4186158,26866254,2015-02-21,20651404,Fletcher,"Lovely clean spacious place, exactly as advertised. Tiffany gave excellent directions to access the unit, and even left some tasty beverages for me to enjoy. Great location with a rooftop deck to watch the sunsets over downtown. Tiffany made my first trip to Austin an memorable one with her hospitality and insider tips. I hope to be back soon."
4186158,27026015,2015-02-23,3388947,Cristin,Exactly as promised. The space was very zen and calming. very convenient location and totally walkable to downtown. Tiffany checked multiple times to make sure I had everything I needed and offered recommendations on places to visit and eat.
4186158,27438957,2015-03-04,700459,Jamie,"Beautiful, well located apartment, I would stay there again."
4186158,27521421,2015-03-06,7401187,Michael,"Everything was perfect. The apartment is elegant, perfectly located, spotlessly clean, and Tiffany was the perfect host! "
4186158,27644642,2015-03-09,387345,Katie,"Tiffany did an excellent job welcoming us to Austin this March.  I was planning a surprise getaway for my fiance's 30th birthday and she helped me in advance by suggesting ideas and places to include in the scavenger hunt I was creating (I'd never been to Austin before).  She was extremely accommodating and even let us leave our bags at her house after check out for an additional 6 hours so we could enjoy the town without being weighed down by roller bags!  She left us a little chocolate surprise and was promptly available via phone/chat/text before, during and after our stay.  Her apartment is in a prime location in Austin with walking distance of everything we wanted to do (Zilker, SoCo, 6th street).  Even better, there were hundreds of Lyfts and Ubers around to help us make the most of our little time in the city.  Tiffany is wonderful--I highly recommend checking out her place!"
4186158,28158619,2015-03-19,1327826,Kristen,"Tiffany was a great host--super flexible and communicative, and very helpful. The apartment is in an outstanding location. Just a fantastic experience all around. Thanks, Tiffany!"
4186158,28268536,2015-03-21,14691415,Nik,"Tiffany's place was clean and comfortable and in a great part of Austin. She was responsive to any questions I had, and check in/check out was super easy. She even left us a bottle of wine. Had a great stay in Austin, and really appreciated Tiffany's hospitality."
4186158,28837804,2015-03-30,20448463,Trey,"Tiffany was an excellent host - very accommodating.  She went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasant one.

The location is great.  Within walking distance to all of the fun spots on South Congress and/or downtown Austin.  I would stay here again!"
4186158,29348474,2015-04-06,19236054,Peter,"Tiffany is a great host and I will stay there again, no doubt."
4186158,29672485,2015-04-11,11340940,Ning,"Tiffany's place is perfect!  I've stayed at several airbnbs in Austin and her place, the location (to Downtown and the South Congress area) and her as a host - couldn't have been better. My only regret is that I wish I had found her place sooner!"
4186158,29949392,2015-04-14,29035435,Jaakko,"Great place (exactly as advertised), clear instructions and other communication, place is really neat and well attended to. Close to a lot of great coffee places, restaurants and bars, and at the same time close to the highways. Airport is a quick drive, and you can get anywhere else pretty quickly too. I went to Circuit of the Americas and it was only about 20 minutes even with the event traffic."
4186158,30104769,2015-04-17,30875281,Jamal,"Tiffany's place was clean, tidy and comfortable.  The location is great - within walking distance to downtown Austin and to all the neat places in SoCo.  Further, Tiffany was also very responsive to any questions I had about the apartment and the city itself.  I had a great experience and I would definitely consider staying at her place should I visit Austin again."
4186158,30454745,2015-04-22,29289953,Casey,"Great location, beautiful space! We walked our way around such fantastic Austin hot-spots. "
4186158,30870795,2015-04-28,2163316,Karen,Tiffany was a great host-very easy to get in touch with and helpful with lots of recommendations. Her place was perfect-clean and super convenient to S. Congress shops/dining and downtown. Thanks Tiffany!
4186158,31083369,2015-05-01,13884723,David,A top floor sun filled space. Walking to SoCo is a major plus. And Tiffany was extremely accommodating. Thanks Tiffany!
4186158,31490224,2015-05-05,5216034,Alex,"Our stay was wonderful. Tiffany's rules for checking in and out were easy and clear, and her place was clean, welcoming, beautiful, convenient and perfectly located in the city."
4186158,31888290,2015-05-11,28813229,Katie,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I was impressed with how accommodating Tiffany was. We asked to host a private event on the rooftop lounge, and she really went the extra mile to make sure our event was a success, from reserving it with the leasing office, to posting signs in the area for us, and to making sure that the maintenance crew had completed and cleaned up their work on the roof before we arrived. The location was ideal, a few paces from South Congress Bridge. The apartment of course was beautiful and instructions to get in, park, and find it were easy to follow. We really appreciate all the extra effort, Tiffany, thank you so much!"
4186158,32207724,2015-05-15,23045160,Jim,Great location and everything as described.  Host very easy to work with and would definitely book again.
4186158,33188597,2015-05-25,6416822,Dean,Amazing location - extremely central. Tiffany is a great host and there if you need anything. 
4186158,33415531,2015-05-27,27521790,Jake,Tiffany was a fabulous host and her place is awesome. Short walk to downtown and probably the most comfortable bed ever.
4186158,33747484,2015-05-31,2407109,Jake,Tiffany has an awesome spot. Really nice natural light during the day and a cozy vibe at night. Plus my wife was stoked on being able to use the gym.
4186158,36154341,2015-06-25,36387560,Brian,"Thanks to Tiffany's professionalism and her comfortable apartment, our first experience with airbnb was a great one. Her clear instructions and prompt communication made for smooth check-in and check-out. We loved the tranquility of her roomy top-floor apartment, which overlooks a nice little wooded area. The location is really a plus, as it puts you in walking distance from SoCo, Town Lake and downtown. "
4186158,36493871,2015-06-28,36755758,Hedi,Great apartment and great location! Thank you Tiffany!
4186158,37262218,2015-07-05,895521,Pete,"Tiffany's place was a delight.  It was exactly as described and even more convenient to local sights than I expected.  Tiffany was one of the most organized hosts I have stayed with.  Instructions were clear, responses were prompt, helpful items laid out on the counter when we walked in.  I couldn't have asked for more.

Pete"
4186158,37378394,2015-07-06,19934374,Ryan,"The place was easy to find, super convenient and right on South Congress! Parking was also a plus and was very secure and was only one stair case up to the room. The place was comfy and cozy! The memory foam pillows were like clouds.  The rooftop was easily accessible and seeing the fireworks on July 4th was enjoyable. "
4186158,37815458,2015-07-10,37695557,Lea,"Tiffany's place is super cute and relatively clean. The directions were clear and the location is very convenient.  There is no coffee maker so if that's something important to early risers, come prepared!! There's also a very loud fan noise behind the bedroom wall, so bring sleeping aids if this sort of noise is bothersome to you. "
4186158,39204465,2015-07-21,6549566,Max,Tiffany was welcoming and knowledgable about Austin.  She is compassionate and a great host!
4186158,39706488,2015-07-25,23000599,Ryan,"Tiffany's place was perfect for my fiancée and I. Perfectly located to make an easy walk through South Congress, or to head north over the bridge toward 6th Street.  

The place was exactly as described and thoroughly cleaned for us upon arrival. Tiffany was even willing to work with us on arranging an early check in due to our timing situation. 

Would definitely rent this place again on future trips to Austin!"
4186158,40866319,2015-08-02,25768652,Callie,"Tiffany is first and foremost a very genuine, sweet person. Her hosting to her lovely, humble abode; you can only imagine how great it was. Not only her have my dear friend & her son stay and enjoy the pool & peace. But she is so kind to even have a bottle of wine and gifts waiting for their arrival. The experience for me booking with her & my dear friend was beyond 100% satisfactory. I'll recommend to anyone who is coming to austin. Thanks again Tiffany! "
4186158,41652026,2015-08-08,8068769,J,"Tiffany's apartment was perfectly located with easy walking distance to South Congress, as well as 6th Street and Rainey Street. She had some amazing recommendations in her host guide as well -- places that were really off the touristy 'beaten' path. She was an excellent communicator in the check-in and check-out process as well. Five stars to host and apartment"
4186158,43163070,2015-08-17,12680902,Dan,"Tiffany's place is exactly as described in both the photos, write-up, and the reviews speak for themselves. 

This was the perfect place and location for us to enjoy a week in Austin. 

The condo is located halfway between Downtown and all the cool restaurants / shops in SoCo, perfect location and a great coffee shop downstairs to relax and do some work in.

The kitchen is great, huge counter tops to prepare meals on. The bathroom is very large and the bed and bedding was top notch.

My girlfriend is an artist and found the lighting and setting inspiring, and I'm no artist but I had a great time in this place! If you are looking to explore Austin I highly recommend it."
4186158,43802713,2015-08-22,13583515,Kim,"Tiffany was an excellent host! She accommodated our early check-in and was very understanding. The apartment building is in such a fantastic location, convenient to all. Parking was also a breeze! We felt like we were in our own private residence as the unit is on the corner and on the top floor. We never heard or even saw any neighbors! The rooftop had fantastic views and the balcony was a joy to sit on at night. If you are in the area and want to be conveniently located to downtown/SoCo/walk to see the bats every night, this is your spot! The apartment was also appointed with everything we could have needed for our stay. Wonderful in every way!"
4186158,44216249,2015-08-24,26020433,Diana,We were so comfy in Tiffany's home.  Pretty green view on the balcony and walking distance to see the bats come out from the bridge at night!  Check in and out couldn't have been easier :)!
4186158,45178571,2015-08-31,20017358,Lindsey,I booked this property as a gift for family.  Tiffany was so easy to deal with and made the transaction a breeze.  I know my family really enjoyed their stay and felt like it was a really special place.
4186158,45344231,2015-09-01,22172880,A. Charles & Diana,"Although we never met, Tiffany was a perfect host. The flat was as described and featured in the photos. Although it was on the 5th floor (we are disabled with a dog) there is convenient parking and an elevator not far away. It was warm and cozy on the inside full of colors and a touch of zen. 

**The location really cannot be beat, either. Next time we return to Austin I will be giving Tiffany a heads up. 

She even left us some vino, alas, we don't drink! Good on ya, effort appreciated. "
4186158,46102531,2015-09-07,21787850,Emily,Loved this place! Perfect location! Walking distance from downtown and SoCo. Really comfortable accommodations! I would definitely recommend this unit. Tiffany was a wonderful host!
4186158,47989685,2015-09-22,41103325,Holly,"it was great, wonderful location and great girl.  we had a wonderful weekend."
4186158,49768263,2015-10-06,24053,Allison,We had a wonderful stay at Tiffany's place for ACL. The location was amazing and very walkable for both the festival and SoCo and downtown! The apartment was clean and comfortable with a funky eclectic vibe. Check in and out was super easy and Tiffany was very responsive to questions throughout our whole stay. Great experience!
4186158,50832163,2015-10-15,14147152,Carrie,"Tiffany's apartment is really nice and in a brilliant location, perfect for South Congress, downtown, bat watching & getting to the ACL festival. The roof terrace is amazing and good for catching the sun or enjoying a few local brews in the evening. Speaking of which, Tiffany got us some local beers to enjoy on our arrival. That's makes her a great host in my eyes! She's very quick to respond to messages and was helpful when it came to us needing to check out a bit late. Only thing to mention is that the air con above the bedroom can be a bit noisy so worth taking ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. But I'd say that's a small price to pay for what was a brilliant base for a brilliant holiday. "
4186158,51160674,2015-10-18,26321097,David,"Tiffany was thorough and prompt.  Everything was as promised.  We added an extra day to our stay weeks before we arrived and AirBB charged us double cleaning fees , that's not the owners problem however.
The lights in the living area didn't turn on and lights in the bedroom were weak for reading. This is best as a two person accommodation . 
I was a little surprised by the single occupancy rule.. Extra for persons 2 and 3.  All in all,  a nice place, best geared for younger travelers .   This place is an easy walk to downtown and congress ave"
4186158,51825701,2015-10-24,18065624,Brandon,The place was wonderful. So close to everything in Austin. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Tiffany was super easy to work with and very accommodating. 
4186158,52211915,2015-10-27,26500190,Christopher,"Tiffany was great and her place was excellent. Location was close to many things; walking distance to Terry Black's Barbecue (some of the best brisket in Austin), Congress bridge and, of course, 6th St. Would stay here again for sure."
5558324,33041515,2015-05-24,17197278,Sabrina,"This airbnb stay was my absolute best experience so far! It was like visiting moms house after college, Cindy left out snacks and made sure the porch light was on for us when we returned after a late movie. The space itself was absolutely beautiful, nestled right into the hills. Makes for a perfect morning coffee on the deck and even firefly watching at night. I was skeptical of the bare floor to ceiling windows but there is so much privacy and the morning light wasn't an inconvenience for sleeping in. The bed was large and very comfortable. The shower was to die for and all necessities were left on the counter in case you forgot to pack something. I did forget a blow dryer and Cindy was more than happy to bring one to our room. The location, although in the beautiful hills, is actually a short beautiful drive to 5th/6th street. I plan on booking again in the future and encourage others to as well!"
5558324,33288809,2015-05-26,32504557,Branden,"Quite simply put, we could not have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Austin.  A short drive can get you from the secluded foothills of Austin, to the heart of the city in less than 10 minutes.  After spending the majority of our day in the city, it was a real treat to end it in this isolated modern house.  Our Host, Cindy, treated us as if we were old friends that came to visit.  To our amazement, the pictures, which seems too good to be true, just didn’t do the house justice.  The view from the bed of Austin’s foothills was unreal.  The night we stayed, there was a thunderstorm, and we loved watching the rain and lightning before bed.  Though we were one of her first guests, Cindy really spent a lot of time and effort thinking of everything we could possibly need, including a sleep mask, since we were on vacation, and wanted to sleep in.  My life goal is now to own a house that has a shower (and bathroom) like the one in the master suite.  You will understand when you try it.  I am a 2010 UT graduate that loves to visit Austin and this destination gives me a whole new reason to visit more often.  When you stay here, I recommend canceling your breakfast plans and enjoying it with Cindy and her precious dogs (Jack, Lou, and Sally) on the balcony. 10/10 - will stay again. "
5558324,36136823,2015-06-25,35436067,Dustin,What a great place! We were in Austin to get away and celebrate our 10 year anniversary. David and Cindy were amazing hosts. So friendly. Cindy made us breakfast each morning which was so thoughtful. The home and view are beautiful as well as the drive getting there. We saw deer almost every day. We would highly recommend this beautiful stay. It's just a few minutes from downtown too! Better than our stays in luxury hotels:) 
5558324,37366602,2015-07-06,35604062,Jillian,"As first time Airbnb users my girlfriend and I were hesitant about what to expect, especially in a home like Cindy's that seem just too good to be true, but what we experienced exceeded all of our expectations. Communication with Cindy prior to our arrival was extremely helpful and she was able to answer all of our questions and alleviate any concerns regarding our stay.  As we approached the home we were greeted in the driveway by Cindy who even went as far as to help us find the most efficient way to park for easy exit. We were then led into the home where we encountered the remainder of the greeting party, her three French Bulldogs, each full of personality. The home itself is absolutely stunning, looking even better in person than in the pictures. The room is immaculately clean and very inviting with a view of the hills to die for. The bathroom is gigantic and was graciously filled with toiletries incase we left anything at home. There was also plenty of space to hang up clothing in the closet. We were originally concerned about the privacy since the room does have floor to ceiling windows but that turned out not to be an issue what so ever. The morning sun does shine in which I thoroughly enjoyed but Cindy was kind enough to leave two sleeping masks incase that would be a bother. In the morning she cooked us a fantastic breakfast with coffee which was a great way to start our day. Overall Cindy was very accommodating, incredibly personable and very pleasant to talk to. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in such a beautiful home with such inviting hosts. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great place to stay near the Austin area. "
5558324,39104952,2015-07-20,21297787,Jessica,"A wonderful airbnb experience! Cindy and David have an exquisite home in west lake hills. The accommodations were top notch and the view can't be beat. Cindy was very generous and welcoming, she always made sure we had everything we needed. Cindy also makes great lattes! Thanks for welcoming us in to your Home. "
5558324,40021516,2015-07-27,38708865,Alex,"Lovely bnb. Amazing home with the most comfortable amenities. Wake up and fall asleep to the gorgeous view of the beautiful Texas sky. Perfect location, away from the bustle of the city but still just a short drive to the many sites of Austin. Wonderful hospitality and breakfast. Just what we needed to have a wonderful vacation. "
5558324,40543082,2015-07-31,30603534,Nick,"Where to begin...
Upon arrival, it felt like Cindy laid out the red carpet just for us. The place is far more beautiful than I ever imagined. If Pierce Brosnan were to ever visit Austin, he would stay here!   

I did have some issues though:
The pillows and bed were too comfortable! I nearly overslept my meeting.  

The entire place smelled of cookies and cake! I was hungry the whole time I was there. Think I even gained .5 lbs.

The French Bulldog puppies were too freaking cute! Ugh, now my girlfriend fell in love and we HAVE to get one.  

The shower was too spa like! It felt like hundreds of tiny little angles were kissing my shoulders. 

The view was too impressive! I couldn't even fit it into 1 panoramic picture that I wanted send to all my friends and brag where I was. I had to send 2 pics, a right side and left side. 

But... If you can see past all those issues I would highly recommend staying here. Best place I have ever stayed. Seriously. 

-Nick "
5558324,41001635,2015-08-03,35328236,Shaley,"We really enjoyed staying at Cindy's master suite for 2 nights to celebrate our be-lated Anniversary.  Cindy was very flexible and accommodating.  She greeted us with a cold iced tea and popcorn.  We felt very welcomed and we appreciated the extra touches!  She was also very detailed by sending us a message on the day before we arrive to give us detailed instructions how to get to her house.  Cindy left us a bottle of water, some healthy snacks and travel essentials/accessories such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, eye masks... because the master suit is surrounded  by glass doors.  She even left us a note to say happy be-late Anniversary.  The thing we enjoyed most was the view! The master bedroom is surrounded with hills and green trees.  Waking up in the morning with a cup of coffee and sitting by the long/large deck was wonderful! ...Words and pictures can not describe the beautiful view from this master suite, you need to come to experience it.  We will definitely come back again if we are in Austin. 
Thank you Cindy for making our stay so relaxing and enjoyable!  
Best, 
Shaley & Tony"
5558324,41454297,2015-08-07,39087468,Jamie,"Cindy was such a sweet host, the house was pretty easy to find and the area was beautiful. The breakfast and snacks she included were delicious. The view and room were wonderful and I could have stayed there all day. The only problem we had was the air conditioner malfunctioning but Cindy fixed it right away. The dogs were adorable and the trip was overall great. I hope to stay here again when I visit Austin in the future.  "
5558324,42763725,2015-08-15,40442796,Darryl,"We really enjoyed the breathtaking views from the master bedroom and private deck in this beautiful home in Austin. The bedroom is just gorgeous and the bed was so comfortable! We loved the modern, spacious bathroom with dual sinks and walk-in shower. We felt right at home using the kitchen to cook a few meals and Cindy had no problem with us using the fridge to stock a few items. Cindy wouldn’t allow us to clean our dishes afterwards, insisting we relax as much as possible :-) For our first time using Airbnb and being in Austin, Cindy's place did not disappoint. It is in a beautiful location that is close to downtown Austin and all of the great restaurants and attractions. Cindy was the perfect host. She gave us our space, while also making for great conversation and company. Our getaway came to an end, but we drove away feeling like we gained a friend. We would definitely return, and we highly recommend this beautiful place!

5558324,43080762,2015-08-17,24599862,Sandy,My husband & I loved this weekend get-away!  Our little one seemed to be ecstatic about being there too!   Cindy was a wonderful host and made us feel at home.  The location is perfect.  It's the feeling of being away from the city with great views but actually only minutes away!   Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.  Would definitely recommend.  
5558324,44327326,2015-08-25,4821335,Matt,"Wow. Such a perfect home and even more perfect host. From the moment we arrived, Cindy made us feel like we were apart of her family. She was very prompt with communication prior to our stay and graciously accommodated our request for an early check in. The house is a little hard to find the first time, but don't worry, Cindy will give you detailed directions.

The house itself is unbelievable. The photos don't do justice. My wife and I had the most relaxing time in this peaceful home. From the floor to ceiling glass windows giving you the perfect views from your bed, to Cindy making us the perfect cup of coffee every morning, it made for a perfect first time experience for us in Austin. By far, the best Airbnb we've stayed at. And we stay at a lot:)"
5558324,45308319,2015-09-01,17197278,Sabrina,"This was our second stay with Cindy and will not be our last! She puts in a lot of effort to make your stay comfortable. The deck is perfect for early morning yoga. Stay here, you won't regret it. "
5558324,46629103,2015-09-12,19298937,Dyamon,"Cindy went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was amazing. It was enough that the room was spacious with a gorgeous view but she was the icing on top of the cake. She made me feel at home and made sure I had everything I needed, she even provided breakfast. The room it self was even better in person. The deck was a great place to read in the morning when it was nice and cool. A bonus was her cute dogs! They sweetly greeted me at my door in the mornings. I wanted to stay forever. I hope to stay again in the future! I highly recommend Cindy's Hill Country Getaway. "
5558324,48777862,2015-09-28,20934220,Kate,Cindy was an absolutely amazing host! Exactly what you hope for when renting a shared space. The room was beautiful and the views were incredible. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will be back!
5558324,49700643,2015-10-05,44890188,Davis,"This being our first airbnb experience, we didn’t know what to expect but we couldn’t have asked for a better stay or a better host. Cindy was simply the best! We were in town for Austin City Limits music festival, one of the busiest weekends in Austin and Cindy was kind enough to not only drive us to lunch but also drop us off at the music venue. 

We enjoyed our morning chats with Cindy, not to mention she makes the best lattes and biscotti. We also loved playing with her three sweet frenchies. Our room was amazing with a gorgeous view to wake up to every morning. Davis and I decided it’s our dream homeJ. We absolutely recommend staying here. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Austin, just to stay at Cindy’s again!

Best,
Davis and Shannon!"
5558324,52137260,2015-10-26,46301389,Morolayo,"From the very moment I booked my stay at Cindy's place, she was welcoming, helpful, and kind. Days before my stay I knew that I was going to enjoy my time. My husband and I got in much later than planned, but Cindy didn't seem to mind at all that we arrived so late. She showed us our room and my husband and I were blown away! The view is one that needs to be experienced in person, because the pictures don't do any justice. Every morning we were greeted by Cindy's 3 wonderful dogs, and she offered us coffee and tea, which I adored. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in  West Lake Hills, and are looking forward to spending another weekend there. Thank you so much for your hospitality, Cindy! We will remember this weekend for a very long time!"
5558324,52896805,2015-11-02,46823689,Devin,"From check in to check out, Cindy went above and beyond to be the most phenomenal host! There was never a moment that we failed to feel welcomed to her beautiful space and the pictures do not do it justice. The view is unbelievable and we never wanted to leave. I have absolutely no complaints at all, one would be crazy to not spend at least a night here. "
2036294,10402217,2014-02-17,11025152,Shuyang,"It is a very good deal to rent this house. I stayed here with my parents for six nights and we all loved it. The house is very spacious and pretty. It has very fine furniture and beautiful interior decoration. Beds, sheets and pillows are comfortable. Quality of furniture are better than we expected. Moreover, the host put all the cooking utensils you will need in the kitchen. It is very convenient to make three meals a day if you want. The host also put shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion in the bathroom. The house has a cute backyard with a swing where you can sit. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. Easy to go to UT and restaurants in about ten minutes' drive. Overall the house has the standard of a real home and my family had a great time staying there. The host was very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place. "
2036294,23520914,2014-12-03,1486308,Jose Miguel,"We had a very pleasant stay.  The house was clean and ready for us.  I would like to highlight that the normal supplies in the bathroom and kitchen are available for the guests.  It is a big hassle when you rent an airbnb place for a few days to arrive and have to procure small things like dishwasher or clothes detergent, paper towels, salt, pepper...Patricia has certainly pad attention to these details.  Also the kitchen is not only well but exceptionally well supplied.  My son was celebrating his weeding in their house and he enlisted me to cook a number of appetizers.  I managed to find anything that I needed (OK, maybe a sharper knife would be good).  Thanks!

One thing to improve would be the chairs in the dining room.  They  look nice but the springs are collapsed, what makes them uncomfortable.  

The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious.  Nice bathroom also.  There is a nice outside back patio with a sofa-swing and chairs in the front porch.  Nice places to have a beer and relax

The house is located in a quiet street and it is nice not to hear traffic.

I would certainly rent again from Patricia.  A very pleasant stay"
2036294,24409518,2014-12-28,15495549,Jennifer,"This was by far my best experience with Airbnb EVER!!! I stayed at Patricia's house with my two older parents and 92 year old grandmother and all of us loved it! We were there for The Christmas Holiday and Patricia went out of her way to make sure the house had a Christmas tree and decorations. It was also very easy for my grandmother to get around the house. Everything was very accessible to her. I was also very impressed with the amenities provided in the kitchen. I was able to do all my Christmas cooking without having to buy any cooking utensils. I can't leave a review without mentioning how beautiful the decor was as well, it really felt like I was in my own home. I will be staying here again if my family comes to town. "
8714221,52666323,2015-10-31,28471749,Anne,I couldn't have asked for a better host! The house was clean and exactly as described. The location is literally close to everything in Austin. We had a great time and when we return to Austin we will definitely stay here. 
3615030,18764916,2014-08-31,20334172,Dustin,He made us feel welcome. Gave us a run down of the house.
3615030,19851499,2014-09-19,10199759,David,"Wow!

Three colleagues and I were in town for a work conference and needed very specific accommodations for our stay. We were lucky to have found Michael, he was amazing to work with from booking to departure!

Michael was responsive, accommodating, and helpful in directing us around areas of interest in the city. He is a native and had much insight to offer. Upon arrival, he went so far as to offer us a ride across town to help us avoid parking. 

The home we rented was even nicer than described. It was very clean, roomy, and centrally located, fully stocked with all the necessities. Michael was immediately available for any additional information or assistance we needed (including a VERY late call over confusion RE key/lock matches). 

We highly recommend this host for your visit!

Safe travels!

3615030,20827594,2014-10-06,20136616,Abbie,Michael & this place were great!! He was very responsive and met us there to check in early since we were going to ACL. The place is big and had tons of room for the 8 of us! We had 2 sleeping on air mattresses & all the beds were great. We loved the location & were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go! It's a very nice neighborhood & couldn't have asked for a better location. All in all it was a great place & I'd definitely recommend it! 
3615030,21129066,2014-10-12,657571,Alexis,My friends and I visited for ACL weekend. Michael was very friendly and accommodating. He met us at the home upon check-in and provided a house tour and tips for getting around in the area. I'd definitely stay at his property again.
3615030,22230680,2014-11-02,4007337,Richard,"We arrived early evening after a very long journey to Austin from UK.  Michael was there to greet us and made us feel very welcome.  He suggested restaurants, shops and various things to do and see throughout our stay and was so helpful.  We were over for the F1 race with our teenage children so extra activities ranged from cycling, to gigs, skateboarding, horseback riding and skeet shooting.  His knowledge of restaurants was  superb twinned with ability to find tables at short notice.  The house was ideal and really well appointed with fantastic views over Austin.  Simply said Michael was a brilliant host who went the extra mile or two to ensure our stay was an awesome experience!"
3615030,22541823,2014-11-09,22609414,Brenden,Excellent location. Beautiful home. 
3615030,25562859,2015-01-19,16742221,Beth,"This place was great and Michael was a great host. Definitely recommend!  To start, Michael gave us some great ideas on what to see and where to eat or see live music.  Barely scratched the surface on our 4 night stay.  Check in and out was very easy and we got some great instructions on where everything was in the house and how it worked (i.e. heat, coffee maker, etc.)

We went for a girls weekend (6 of us) and the size was just right for our group.  We paired up in the 3 beds but also had a pullout couch or air mattress option if we so wished and 2 showers were helpful (just take note that you need to space out so all have hot water, typical of any house, we got our routine down after the first night).   Loved the balconies so we could enjoy the nice weather when we were home! 

Location worked very well for us, easy access to all the spots in Austin.  We did not rent a car and had no problem getting around.  Some spots were walk-able (coffee shop and taco place down a few blocks and Wholefoods and some restaurants about a mile or so away). There was a great trail and park also within easy walk-able distance as we had a girl training for a half marathon and she easily found a good route for a 7 mile run nearby. Also you need to see the graffiti wall about a block away.  

We took the bus once our first day (stop right near the house and $1.25 each to the capitol, 5 to 10 minute ride) and then largely used Uber when we discovered how inexpensive it was and that mini vans and SUVs were always available to fit all 6 of us.  Typically cost between $6 to $12 total one way, depending on our location.

We were all sad to leave and want to go back!

His home is spacious and well stocked with shampoo, towels, etc. I had a wonderful weekend with my friends and would stay here again."
3615030,26941546,2015-02-22,11052731,Valerie,"Excellent location! Fantastic views!

We had a group of 6 girls, and we fit very comfortably.  The host was very friendly and responsive to our questions."
3615030,27393542,2015-03-03,9056246,Zander,"We had a wonderful experience.  Michael was there to greet us and left us some beer.  The lower room was terribly cold, but Michael was back in a flash to provide a space heater.  It was a great house for a group to enjoy Austin, and I recommend it to all."
3615030,27581661,2015-03-08,26473796,Michelle,"Six of us (3 friends in our mid-20's and our moms) stayed here on our long weekend trip to Austin and had an overall wonderful experience. Michael was able to meet us upon arrival to give us the keys and a quick tour of the house. The place was clean with 2 bedrooms (2nd fl), 2 full baths (2nd fl), spacious livingroom and kitchen (1st fl) and one bedroom in the basement. The basement room wasn't ideal since no bathroom was on the first floor and it was a bit chilly, but Michael did provide a space (email hidden)e location is not in center city but we were only a few blocks from the Hope Outdoor Gallery, Waterloo Records and Wholefoods which was great! In general we were able to walk to most places north of the Lake (including 6th street, the State Capital and LBJ Library) within 20-40 min.  Anywhere we couldn't get to by foot we Uber'd which was fine except for around 7-8pm when there were high surges. Overall, we agreed we'd stay here again and highly recommend to others if you don't mind the walk or will have a car. "
3615030,28323745,2015-03-22,26534735,Chip,"First of all, Michael is a great host.  He was in contact frequently, checking on me and my team in the run up to our arrival. Amazing, since our visit took place during SXSW and he had a million other things to do as he was working 24/7 during the conference with his other businesses.

During our stay we found the house to be really great for us because it is in a quiet neighborhood but Uber helped ensure we were never more than 5-10 minutes away from the center of town, and in fact walking to downtown is also a great option of you have 20 minutes to spare.

During our stay Michael kept up the hospitality index by checking in, and actually pitched in to help us cater for an impromptu meetup my team organized for other companies in our industry.  This was above and beyond the call of duty, and I would never have expected we would be so lucky to have such a great host."
3615030,28705339,2015-03-29,7199913,Ryan,Great experience in Austin and awesome location. Nice walk or short cab ride to anywhere in town. The apartment fit a large group well; it was clean and we had a great time.
3615030,33693230,2015-05-31,5955986,Michael,"This is a great place and Michael is a great host.  The place is large and well equiped.  It's a relatively short walk or an easy uber ride to all the sites in the city.  

Michael was very helpful.  He had all sorts of good advice on things to do and places to see.

We'd be happy to stay here again."
3615030,35006643,2015-06-14,6225116,Nick,Michael's home was a great place to stay for our group!  Great communicator and the house was clean and well supplied!

3615030,47641247,2015-09-21,9816414,Patrick,"We were a group of 4 that traveled in from California for a football game.  We could not have asked for better place to stay.  Not only was Michael's place clean, comfortable, and spacious, but it was ideally located.  An easy walk or Uber ride to most of what you'll want to see and do in Austin.  Michael was also a great communicator and host.  He even left a 12-pack for us!  We would gladly stay here again and recommend it to anyone else."
3615030,48570893,2015-09-27,42316732,Jessica,Great experience! Easy to work with and very responsive. Awesome location and cool view of the capital! 
3615030,49588393,2015-10-05,33320204,Bridget,Michael was great. He provided transportation to and from ACL for us and was very responsive about letting us in early and check out late. We had a great time at the festival and the town home. 
3615030,50431266,2015-10-12,24585204,Elysse,The place was great!  Awesome location just a short walk or uber away from most places.  Fit our group comfortably.  Michael was very easy to deal with.  No issues so we only contacted him at check in and check out.  Would absolutely stay here again!
5394206,32224470,2015-05-15,33315483,Rachel,"Carrie was an awesome host, super accomodating. The place was really nice and my friend and I enjoyed staying here for the night. "
5394206,33205270,2015-05-25,33930281,Astrid,"Carrie was a great host her home is very cozy and the location is great. She is an adventurous woman, she is involve in so many things always ready to party and to help others. She took us to this beautiful restaurant on the lake and she told us about great places to eat and things to do in Austin. A really good place to stay if you want to visit Austin plus she is really cool!"
5394206,47924393,2015-09-21,44437021,Torre,Carrie was a great host. She responded very quickly and made the entire process very simple. The place was very clean with blankets and towels laid out. Felt like I was visiting a relative. Will try to stay at this location again the next time I visit.
5394206,51504100,2015-10-20,3934455,Sumanth,Carrie was an awesome host! I will def be seeing her next time I'm in Austin! Her genius helped me break my lock on my suitcase (somehow I forgot the pin) 
5394206,51873302,2015-10-24,25883200,Anne-Laure,Carrie was very welcoming and gave us good tips to visit Austin. We slept on basic couch and matress in the living room but hosts ´ kindness and good location make it worth it.
5394206,52022557,2015-10-25,20728618,Jennifer,"Carrie was so insanely nice and told us all the best places to go! Her place was very nice as well, and we had a great rainy day there. "
3950466,21263388,2014-10-13,2172780,Gaurav,"Overall, great experience and would recommend Twila's space for anyone looking for a spot south of downtown. She is a gracious, courteous and respectful hostess. Thanks Twila!"
3950466,22346046,2014-11-03,23033031,David,"Very much enjoyed my brief stay with Twila's ""Rodeo House Inn"".
Cute, comfortable and accommodating.  Twila made me feel right at home.  I would highly recommend spending some time there and I will return (if available) upon my next visit to Austin."
3950466,22450574,2014-11-06,23340134,Mary,"Set in an unassuming neighborhood, this rental was a pleasant surprise. I loved the newly remodeled guest room with private bath at the Rodeo ""Stay and Play"" from the comfy bed and the cool decor to the fabulous shower. Everything was pristine clean and sparkling. An added bonus is the cozy patio with private entrance that comes with the room."
3950466,26326310,2015-02-09,26761536,Laura,"I stayed two nights in the Rodeo Inn.  Jason made himself available to give us tour and leave key.  Would recommend for those who like the convenience of having a private entrance and bath.  Neighborhood is quiet and its about a 10 minute drive to downtown. Room comes stocked with automatic coffee maker, mini fridge and microwave, and television.  Overall a pleasant stay :)"
3950466,28084357,2015-03-17,27697365,Steve,"Twila and her husband Jason were the PERFECT innkeepers during our visit to Austin for SXSW 2015.  They were charming, fun and very welcoming, and their small flock of dogs were friendly and playful.  The room was not only immaculate but they thought of everything!  They had a microwave, a Keurig cooffeemaker, a fridge stocked with waters and every little extra you could think of (from Q-tips to earplugs).  We didn't have time to watch TV but they had that too ... plus wireless.  Did we mention a private entrance.  While they welcomed us into their homes, it was nice that we could come and go as we pleased (or as our business needs dictated).  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody and I promise, we WILL  be back next time we visit Austin."
3950466,28470518,2015-03-24,5161926,David,"Twila was a great hoster and her house is clean, comfortable and well located in a quiet neighbourhood. Exactly what is shown in the ad. She was on top of everything and made our stay a great experience. I highly recommend to stay there."
3950466,29889683,2015-04-13,30783622,Rachel,"This was a great place to stay, and Twila was a wonderful host.  The room and bed were very comfortable, the shower was awesome, and the coffee set up made it really homey.  The neighborhood was very nice and convenient to downtown Austin.  I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in Austin."
3950466,50617077,2015-10-13,9426934,Anton,"Twila was very welcoming and a perfect host. Provided everything we needed and great tips for anyone new to Austin trying to get around. The room has everything you need - bathroom supplies, coffee, TV, and wifi to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Definitely recommend."
3950466,52122980,2015-10-26,21661260,Richard,Rodeo House Inn is a neat little place.  Very well appointed.  Hosts were very easy to contact and very helpful.  Would definitely recommend.
74946,201466,2011-03-17,398534,Rodrigo,Safe neighborhood and a generous host!
74946,3833220,2013-03-19,4657647,Hanna,Nick was a very friendly and conscientious host. The house was cute and the shower was great but the internet was rather slow - which wasn't the best for a working journalist! The room I was in got very cold at night but Nick didn't mind us turning up the thermostat so all in all a fine stay.
74946,20963949,2014-10-08,15977858,Evan,"This being my first Airbnb experience, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But after a week long's stay at Nick's cozy home, I could not have been happier with my choice. Nick is an extremely kind, friendly, and talented guy who is equally happy to let you do your own thing or show you some cool spots around town. The house is full of gorgeous pianos and one room even has a record player and fantastic stereo. The neighborhood is in the beautiful Hyde Park, a perfect location for anyone looking to see all parts of the city. 

I'd encourage anyone planning a trip to Austin to put Nick's bungalow at the top of your list. Best introduction to the wonderful city I could have ever asked for."
74946,21173137,2014-10-12,21100007,Sara,"Staying with Nick was the coolest! He was so helpful and accomodating, even picked me up from my megabus terminal! His house is comfortable, full of instruments and in a really lovely area surrounded by great restaurants and bars. The bus stop was close and really easy to get to down town and South Austin. I had a really great time and would definitely stay here again"
74946,21403171,2014-10-16,6233674,Bill,Nick is a really awesome laid-back guy who was super friendly and helpful with everything I was in Austin to do. The room is basic and no-frills but that's what I was looking for -- staying here feels like crashing at a friend's place. the neighborhood is safe and quiet! 
74946,21930957,2014-10-26,585271,Leticia,"Nicholas offered an enjoyable experience with his smile alone but to stay in his beautiful home was truly the icing on the cake. I found myself waking up effortlessly in the morning to brew my tea and sit outside with nature... the neighborhood is that serene that you want to experience the morning fully. However, I will say sleeping on air has completely changed my sleeping experience. Yup, that Good! 
I also had the pleasure of meeting another renter (Ryan) and fond lover of tacos. 
Overall, my stay was above and beyond especially with the late night talks and music playing. I truly enjoyed my stay with Nicholas, Ryan and Django.  
I would love to stay here again in my next visit. :-)  "
74946,26845813,2015-02-20,25768620,Matt,"Nick is a cool dude. He was friendly and super welcoming. He has some cool pianos scattered around his place, a comfortable and private bed, and a mellow neighborhood. Will definately look him up again next stay in Austin."
74946,30105527,2015-04-17,30880154,Adam,Nick was a great host who made me feel welcome for my first airbnb experience. Django the dog is very friendly too! Nice comfortable room with airbed and a great stereo. The place is easy to get to from downtown or UT by bike or bus and in a really safe neighbourhood.

74946,33281154,2015-05-26,6452410,Theo,"I had a wonderful stay at Nick's place. The room included a comfortable airbed, wi-fi shared with neighbors, use of the kitchen, and his dog Django was a friendly presence in the house. The house is in a very quiet and safe neighborhood, with quirky cafés, shops, and grocery stores no more than a 15 min walk away. Also very close to the 350 bus stop which goes to and from the airport (~45 minute ride). Nick is also an active musician and very up-to-date on the live music scene in Austin. If you want a comfy place with a super-cool host, laid-back vibe, and perfectly tuned pianos, Nick's is the place!"
74946,49474344,2015-10-04,7578269,Sabrina,"Nick was super friendly and a really great host. I came in super late and was starving, and when I couldn't find any delivery options he gave me a bagel- total lifesaver! It's a really nice safe neighborhood that's conveniently located next to a few major bus lines and some great eats! I would definitely recommend staying here! "

I was there for two weeks to do a music production and was very grateful that nick was such an easy going and nice person. He lives in the back of the house and it was cool to meet him every once in a while during my stay. Wherever possible Nick offered his help and support in a very caring way.
The house is located in a very friendly neighborhood and i felt very safe and comfortable all the time.  The house also offers a small porch to sit outside. The 2 rooms are pretty basic but the inflatable beds are comfortable. Wifi works perfect and you have the control for the air condition. If you are looking to stay with nick make sure you are comfortable with dogs. His dog is very friendly and relaxed. When Nick was out the dog would stay at home and welcomes you.
10min walk to lovely flightpath coffeehouse and 15min walk to huge HEB Market. Once again thank you Nick for the good times."
2124726,29259038,2015-04-06,26052792,Anthony,"Mike was very accommodating and helpful.  7 of us stayed in his house for the weekend, in town for a wedding.  The house worked very well for us, plenty of space, and we enjoyed our time in Austin.  Thanks Mike!"
3991373,23435524,2014-12-01,16757288,Shailu & Dee,"It was a great location and a fabulous cottage.The house can comfortably accomodate four adults and the backyard was exqusite, Ideal for summers and bbqs.Jaqui had made sure that we had a very comfortable stay and always reachable if. We had a memorable weekend and am sure we will come back."
2735528,13153204,2014-05-20,14674207,James,This was the perfect little place to stay if you're looking for convenience and a friendly host. I'd recommend Andy to any and everyone!
2735528,13249077,2014-05-23,8953206,Kelsey,"Exactly as pictured, this was a very cute place to call home for a few days! The airstream was clean, cool (air conditioner!) and stocked with surprises. Having bikes to use was an added bonus. I liked the neighborhood a lot, as it was similar to mine in Chicago. But it is up and coming East Austin, so it's rough around the edges, with a super hip charm. "
2735528,13422782,2014-05-27,14417299,Grace,"First time using AirBnB and what a way to start! Everything else is now going to be compared to the wonderful Airstream. Air Con was a saviour against the heat, has obviously being lovingly remodelled and lots of treats, also overall perfectly located - close enough to the city centre but without the noise. Alexandria and her family were very welcoming & inviting. Bathroom is in the house, which is only a few steps (or maybe a few more if you're short like me). Would recommend to everyone..."
2735528,13576556,2014-05-31,14274054,Caitlin,"Andi's place is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The main house is under construction so it threw us off a bit at first, but we fell in love with the Airstream when we saw it. The private bathroom was actually shared but we didn't mind and it was no inconvenience. The only downside is that the wireless didn't work in the Airstream. "
2735528,13820299,2014-06-05,13272318,Erin,Had a great time! Airstream was clean and cool in the heat. Thank you Alexandria for being such a great host!
2735528,14054223,2014-06-10,2599591,Kylie,Alexandria's airstream was cozy and centrally located. We didn't have to drive more than 15 minutes to get where we wanted to go and often found ourselves staying in the neighborhood. 
2735528,14280989,2014-06-16,13462738,Frederik,This place was amazing! The airstream is so cool and stylish that you just want to move in there. It is perfectly situated if you want to explore all the cool and vibrant places in East Austin. Alexandria and her husband are so nice people and they are just really good at providing just the right amount of privacy and helpfulness. I'd recommend this place to anyone! 
2735528,14493200,2014-06-20,2658596,Erin,"My boyfriend and I stayed in the airstream for a few nights and we had a wonderful time. The airstream was clean, the ac worked really well and it was in a great location. Alexandria and Nathan were great hosts and recommended excellent food and booze spots. Thank you!"
2735528,14716806,2014-06-24,16817663,Jeremy,"My wife and I stayed in Alexandria's Airstream this past weekend. The moment we walked in, we fell in love with it. The Airstream was both cozy and spacious at the same time. Alexandria decorated it beautifully. It was perfect. 

To those who might be doubters, I'll say that I was concerned about only one thing: I'm a warm sleeper. It needs to be cold enough to make my nose run for me to be able to get any sleep. Let me tell you, the A/C in the Airstream is more than capable. It was about 95 degrees outside when we walked up. But upon opening the door, we were greeted with a nice arctic blast of air. 

Alexandria and Nathan are in the middle of re-modeling their adorable house, and because of that, the private bathroom for the Airstream guests is brand spanking new and super clean. 

A few things Alexandria didn't mention in the posting:
• There's a large mini-fridge in the Airstream.
• Which she's stocked with some minor consumables and a water filter jug
• There's both a tea pot and a coffee maker, with complimentary tea and coffee.
• A Toaster Oven
• A Microwave
• A very nice and deep sink
• Full-length and cosmetic mirrors
• A wonderful (if somewhat out of tune) guitar
• A lot of privacy

If I had one complaint, it was that I didn't get to stay longer. This is a beautiful little place. Thank you, Alexandria.
"
2735528,15101629,2014-07-02,4659132,Julie,"Alexandria's airstream was a great choice for our stay in Austin. It is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Furthermore, it is well located on the bus routes, and you can use the bikes she offers to go to downtown or S. Congress. Work was being done on the main house during our stay, but this didn't bother us in the slightest. Alexandria is a very sweet and considerate host - we will recommend her place to friends!"
2735528,15313064,2014-07-07,8008314,Katie,"The airstream was adorable! Great a/c, which was absolutely needed! Would stay again. "
2735528,15687504,2014-07-14,14993885,Rachel,We loved our stay I'm Andi's airstream! The location is minutes away from Congress and 6th street and the list of favorite places Andi gave us to check out were very helpful! 
2735528,15851023,2014-07-16,15979954,Tom,"The airstream was everything we could have hoped for: a great clean place to relax in between travels. Plenty of space, even for a tall guy. Alexandria was especially accommodating, and had solid recommendations for the neighborhood.
"
2735528,15923764,2014-07-18,17264626,Colleen,"Staying in the airstream was absolutely amazing! it was very homey and clean! the location was excellent to pretty much anything you want to go do in Austin. Alexandria was wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. She was a wonderful host! "
2735528,16046338,2014-07-20,17451769,Lisa,"I wish I could have stayed here longer! Alexandria was very helpful and very laissez-faire, which I very much appreciated during my stay. She was flexible and efficient with check-in and quick to respond to questions and minor issues. The Airstream itself is a total dream -- gorgeously decorated, clean, comfortable, and a true B&B in that there were even bagels, cream cheese, and coffee for brewing in the fridge upon arrival. I loved it the minute I saw it from the outside, and the inside is even better. I enjoyed using the stereo hookup on the desk especially, and all the potted cacti were a great touch. The bed is in a nook and couldn't be cozier. There's even a small porch out front -- very homey, and often visited by a very friendly yard cat-friend. The private bathroom is located across the yard and up a flight of stairs, which wasn't a problem for me except that I happened to stay during some severe weather. So, some protips for staying at this AWESOME place: 1) Bring a pair of flipflops for getting to and from the bathroom, and an umbrella so you don't get caught having to hold it in during any possible downpours. 2) Until the hosts finish up some renovations on the driveway, consider bringing your stuff in a duffel that can be hauled by hand -- my heavy wheeled suitcase did not do well on the gravel and post-rainstorm mud. Definitely have a stay in this unique, comfy, well-kept Airstream -- I know I will again if the opportunity strikes!"
2735528,16282631,2014-07-24,14970168,David,"I enjoyed two incredible days in this fantastic airstream trailer in east Austin. The interior of the trailer itself was a perfect, cozy space, and inspiring space with air conditioning and served as an ideal launching pad for my exploration of Austin. The bars and restaurants in east Austin are the best in the city, and the trailer is a short walk from a b-cycle station and downtown. I couldn't have imagined a better way to experience Austin.

"
2735528,16545326,2014-07-29,9509630,Matthew,"The Airstream was perfect, no joke, it was everything the pictures promised. It felt like a little piece of home, wonderfully air-conditioned home in the middle of unfamiliar Austin. 
Alexandria and her family are really sweet and welcoming. We used a private bathroom in the main house, and it was very comforting that she trusted us as much we trusted her. If anything that was the only downside to the airstream stay experience: an unattached bathroom, and even then was not a major one. She also was nice enough to offer the use of her washer and dryer, which were in the hallway next to the private bathroom -it was relief to not have to worry about quarters. Alexandria even helped us out as much as she could when we had an unexpected issue with our car. 
Overall, it was the most enjoyable experience to stay in the airstream! There was even an added bonus of relieving some homesickness by playing with the family's very sweet cat. "
2735528,16921140,2014-08-04,14752280,Kyra,"We really enjoyed staying in this cute little Airstream. It was in a good, central location to everything. "
2735528,17099206,2014-08-07,16631599,Jon,"The airstream was awesome. It is super comfortable and relaxing. If we could, we would have just stayed and hung out in the airstream. It is close to everything. There is a lot of cool restaurants, coffee shops and bars in biking/walking distance, yet if you want to go downtown or to congress st it's still very close. Alexandria makes you feel comfortable but gives you a lot of free space to do your own thing. I would recommend anyone staying in Austin to check Alexandria's airstream out. "
2735528,17368053,2014-08-11,3724613,Kristian,"Overall our stay in Alexandria's airstream was fantastic. It's adorably furnished and plenty spacious for 2 people. Equally, the location smack in the middle of the East Side is ideal and the plethora of extra bikes they have available makes getting around the city super easy. Only minor drawback is having to walk across the backyard and into the main house for the bathroom, but it's private for airbnb'ers so no biggie. If you're heading to Austin for the weekend this is about the most appropriate place you could possibly stay, thumbs up all around."
2735528,17586440,2014-08-14,12032541,Jessica,"We loved staying in Andi's Airstream.  Such a lovely family with the cutest Airstream parked in their backyard.  Very hospitable, welcoming, and flexible when we arrived a little later than we had anticipated.  We really enjoyed our stay and we loved cozying up in their Airstream for two nights and enjoying the ambiance they have created. "
2735528,17852395,2014-08-18,18062257,Kristy,"My boyfriend and I just stayed in Alexandria's Airstream this past weekend! We fell in love with the airstream as soon as we walked through the door. The airstream is nestled in the backyard about 60 feet from the main house, which is where the bathroom is located. This was our least favorite part. The bathroom itself was very nice but the inconvenience of walking across the yard and up the stairs to the main house was a drag - especially late at night. 
One of our biggest concerns was the air conditioning. I was worried that the ac wouldn't be able to withstand the Texas heat. It worked wonderfully. It can get rather loud at night while you're trying to sleep, but if you do enough activities throughout the day you will be so worn out you won't even notice. 
The airstream itself is exactly like the pictures. The decorations were perfect and definitely gave it a homey/Austin-ish vibe. Alexandria provides you with a welcome note that includes several cool places to hangout and eat in the area. She was very kind and tended to our needs but also did not interfere with our privacy.  Her top priority was to make sure we had everything we needed.
Overall, our experience with the airstream was great! It was the perfect place to stay for what we were looking to do while in Austin. "
2735528,18036151,2014-08-20,3953938,Elizabeth,"It was very clean and comfortable and well cared for, in a good location to see Austin. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Thank you!"
2735528,18134059,2014-08-22,19230135,Hannah,"Alexandria was a very kind and gracious host and the airstream was nothing short of a retro dream. I definitely recommend it - cozy, comfortable and snug right in the heart of east Austin. Thanks so much for having us!! "
2735528,18480514,2014-08-27,3638953,Edbury,"Alexandria was incredibly friendly and provided a lot of great resources and recommendations for the neighborhood and ATX in general.

She does not talk up this place enough! The airstream was better kept than most apartments I've stayed in. It had all the accoutrement that make you feel comfortable and self-sufficient, plus a lot of small touches that really bring out its personality. 

You do have to take a stroll across the backyard to get to the bathroom in the main house, but I didn't find it too much of a drag.

The neighborhood is great, especially if you plan on biking around ATX. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, and venues to keep you busy while you're there."
2735528,18718665,2014-08-31,17348327,Brent,Great place to stay - convenient to downtown. Alexandria and Nathan were very nice. 
2735528,18896804,2014-09-02,7596387,Brett,"Alexandria left town the day I was scheduled to check in, but she notified me and made the move as easy as possible. If I needed anything she was a call/text away or called me back immediately. 

The Airstream was amazing! I loved it. I had no problems with the walk to the bathroom. There were days I didn't want to leave the trailer."
2735528,18988243,2014-09-04,18106709,Kaitlin,"What a wonderful experience! Everything was clean and tidy, the bathroom was immaculate and recently remodeled. Appreciated Alexandria's kindness and laid back approach. The bikes were the perfect addition to the airstream - we were able to see lots of downtown Austin! I will be recommending this location to my friends and family. "
2735528,19271512,2014-09-09,16840016,Stephie,"Alexandria's airstream was amazing!!! Situated in the backyard of her beautifully remodelled home the airstream was private and cozy! It was clean, the bed was very comfortable, the a/c worked very well and the location was great! It was also beautifully decorated !!!! We could walk, bike or take the bus and be at university, 6th street or anywhere downtown in minutes ! 
Alexandria was very friendly and had great advice on places to eat and visit in Austin! 
We would stay at the airstream again in a heartbeat and would recommend the airstream to others planning to visit Austin. "
2735528,19367444,2014-09-11,19025533,Lavinia,"Alexandria was a great host. Laid back and left us to do our thing - but there to answer questions if required. The listing was accurate (I had no issues with walking across a small yard to an indoor bathroom). While the neighbourhood isn't too far from the hub of Austin night life (6th St etc), in the heat of September it wasn't really walkable. This was ok for us, as we used the car or taxis (local number provided by Alexandria on a very useful info sheet).  "
2735528,19471754,2014-09-13,6182961,Nick,"The airstream was fantastic, really fun! Great location, waking distance downtown or you can use a bike, which we were kindly offered. Really clean and tidy with all needed amenities - would really recommend! "
2735528,19675350,2014-09-16,18154581,Nina,We had such a lovely time in the airstream! It was clean and cozy and Alexandria was a very responsive host. Thanks guys!
2735528,19781339,2014-09-18,7571751,Elizabeth,"We absolutely loved our stay in the darling airstream.  Alexandria, her husband, and their kitty Marty were very welcoming and helped us out with nearby recommendations and using their bikes.  I can't say enough about how cozy the airstream is!  We got to experience a thunderstorm during the night and it was so cozy.  They've done a fantastic job renovating it.  We were curious about what it'd be like to go into the house to use the bathroom, but it's through a private door and never felt intrusive or awkward whatsoever.  Everything was excellent!"
2735528,20089037,2014-09-23,7026456,Jo,"The airstream was wonderful! Clean, great neighborhood, and a friendly family. 
Thanks again!"
2735528,20278811,2014-09-27,16862171,Jason,"Loved the Airstream!  Alexandria and her husband were gracious, friendly and helpful hosts.  The Airstream was incredibly comfortable, spacious and clean...and the AC a welcomed treat. The location was perfect, close enough to everything I needed that the bikes I borrowed easily got me everywhere I needed.  Thank you for the local tips as well. If I ever find myself back in Austin I would definitely stay here again."
2735528,20810605,2014-10-06,14692964,Gwen,"We had such an amazing time in Alexandria's Airstream! The vintage vibe and cozy interior was a perfect space for me and my husband. We stayed 4 nights and never felt cramped. The patio space was an added bonus. There's nothing like having a few drinks outside before heading out for the night! 

The bed was very comfortable, the Airstream was clean, the AC was killer and the walk to the bathroom (in the house) was so short it wasn't an inconvenience at all. 

Alexandria left great local recommendations and was accessible for questions. She was a great host and I wouldn't hesitate to rent from her again - hopefully very very soon! "
2735528,21029669,2014-10-10,18766486,Priscilla,"This was an absolute great place for our first stay in Austin. It's very comfortable and large for two people, and Alexandria provides everything you could need...from a list of her favorite spots, down to bug repellant!  The streamer is also located near  a lot of great east side bars and restaurant...would definitely stay here again."
2735528,21120963,2014-10-12,16491567,Kayla,"The airstream is awesome! Adorable, clean and well appointed inside, in a fun part of town. Alexandria was kind and helpful throughout. We stayed for two nights during ACL and had no trouble getting around. The private bathroom is few steps away in the main house and couldn't have been nicer. It's clear how invested the hosts are in you having a nice stay. It's such a unique experience and I'd love to stay again! Oh, and the a/c gets as cold as you could possibly want it to!"
2735528,21304030,2014-10-14,9679893,Allison,Alexandria and her family were super welcoming and accommodating! The airstream was amazing and the location was great!
2735528,21800003,2014-10-24,16878814,Rob,"Alexandria is simply one of the sweetest hosts I've run across.  The bagels were VERY MUCH appreciated, a life saver really!   The Airstream is perfectly situated and cozy.  The walk across the yard to the bathroom was no hassle at all.  I had everything I needed, and it is super quiet, I really enjoyed that.  The bed is nice and comfy, nailed it!  What a cool little oasis! I would definitely stay here again.

BONUSES:  Stereo, cool restaurant recommendations, book on restored travel trailers."
2735528,22125987,2014-10-30,86069,George,"Staying in the Airstream was a lot of fun.  Alexandria and her family were very polite and they've got a smooth and professional set-up for a very easy stay.  The Airstream is beautifully finished and quite private, and the neighborhood is in the right spot to visit downtown and cool neighborhoods.  Would recommend making a booking to anyone.  Thanks so much to Alexandria and her family!"
2735528,22289159,2014-11-03,16828122,Stephen,The airstream was exactly as depicted and had a very good ac unit which would be a Godsend in the Summer. It was very handily located for access to downtown Austin and the recommendation to use Uber for cabs was spot on. Lovely family with gorgeous and lively twins :-) To be fair we would not normally go for this type of accommodation but is was perfect for us as a more cost effective way to stay in Austin for the Formula 1 GP and would strongly advise people to consider it for next years GP or any other major event that allows the hotels to ramp up their prices to ridiculous levels. The neighbourhood felt more than safe enough despite a number of houses around that were boarded up. Plenty of convenience stores close by if you need them. Hosts kindly invited us to their Halloween party but we were keen to hit the Austin nightlife which is amazing!!
2735528,22395194,2014-11-05,19355648,Julie,The airstream was adorable and had everything one needed in a kitchen. There's even a guitar. The neighborhood is great and there are bicycles to ride if desired. There are many great places to explore nearby.
2735528,22789044,2014-11-15,18167697,Madeline,"The airstream was perfect for our short stay in Austin. It ended up being unseasonably cold for our visit (in the 20s one night!!) and we were worried about being warm. However, the trailer was toasty and we even turned the heat off one night! Although there's only cold water in the trailer, it was fine for everything we needed. Alexandria was great and accommodated our late 1am arrival with ease. She checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable, but also gave us plenty of privacy. The walk across the yard to the bathroom (with private entrance) was no problem, and the bathroom is MUCH nicer and bigger than any trailer bathroom could be (if you've camped, you know what I mean). The location also can't be beat. We didn't use the bikes because of the weather, but in the right temperature they'd be the perfect way to explore east Austin and get down to east 6th. I can't wait to come back!! "
2735528,23104519,2014-11-23,22643302,Sarah,"Charming and comfortable; owners nice, responsive and welcoming. Good neighborhood for riding bikes and there is a rack to lock up bikes. Tip: bring a pair of flip flops for night time trips to the bathroom. "
2735528,23202503,2014-11-25,12061297,Jamie,Super cute place in an awesome part of town.  We walked all over the east side and over down south Congress from here easily.  Alexandria was a great host!
2735528,23677329,2014-12-08,8366047,Karen,"Alexandria and her family are so lovely and welcoming. We had a great stay here and the airstream is adorable and the bed is ridiculously comfortable. It's in a great neighborhood for walking to tons of bars and restaurants too. My husband was coming down with a cold and she left him a little care package of teas and  hot toddy mixings, etc. So above and beyond! ❤️"
2735528,23795328,2014-12-10,6401785,Jenny,This is a really wonderful place to stay! We've stayed in a few places using Airbnb and this one is definitely our favourite. Really cosy and comfortable and the hosts are extremely welcoming. The Airstream is super cool and has everything in it you could need. The bed is even more comfortable than one you would get in a fancy hotel. The neighbourhood is also lovely and everything Austin has to offer is pretty nearby. The only bad thing is we wish we could have stayed longer!
2735528,23865701,2014-12-13,2572368,Zoe,"Alexandria was very helpful from the very beginning. My friend and I were only going to be in Austin for two nights and were having trouble deciding where in the city to stay. Alexandria was very patient and didn't mind that we changed our minds between her listings. We got to meet her when we arrived and saw her and her family a couple times while we were there. They were very sweet and welcoming. If we had been in town longer we probably would have tried to hang out!
The airstream is exactly as the pictures show. It's very clean,  and we loved how it was set up and decorated. The bed is bigger than the photos look (definitely a queen) and very cozy. You have to go around to the back of the house to get to it, but at night the short walk is very well lit. Having the bathroom inside the house is no problem, especially since it's really nice and only yours while you stay (the family doesn't use it). 

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! 
Thanks, Alexandria!

"
2735528,23974071,2014-12-15,12339059,Natalie,"The airstream was a perfect homebase for our Austin trip. Great location to awesome food and shops. We definitely took advantage of the bikes provided. 
And Alexandria was a wonderful host, so kind and helpful! :)"
2735528,24022358,2014-12-17,5362869,Kim,"Our stay in the airstream was awesome. We've always wanted to experience one, and Alexandria and her husband did an amazing job with it. It is so cozy and comfortable, plus has anything you'd need including a mini kitchen, fire place heaters for chilly nights, and is totally separate from the main house. The one thing to consider is the bathroom, which is across the yard, up the stairs, and in the house. But it's completely private and we had no issues with it. It's basically like glamping (glamorous camping) and a completely unique experience. The area is safe and close to lots of cool places to eat/drink, tho we did need to drive most places. Great time here, and would definitely stay again. "
2735528,24179826,2014-12-22,22803324,Andrea,"Loved staying in this remodeled airstream! Alexandria was so friendly and there to greet us when we arrived. The airstream itself was so cozy, and while the bathroom is in the main house, trips to the bathroom never felt like a hassle. I loved it and hope to stay again, and maybe if the weather is better, I could take advantage of the bikes! "
2735528,24519144,2014-12-30,476035,Melissa,"What a perfect spot for a getaway! We loved the Airstream, which was a quick drive from the food trucks, urban hikes and other places we wanted to visit. It was quite cold outside, but the Airstream had two heaters that toasted us up quite nicely, along with a comfy bed, awesome bath and shower (in the house) and kitchenette. Plenty of space for us and our bags, by the way. Loved it."
2735528,25010379,2015-01-05,19140640,Alexandra,Loved staying here!  Comfy bed and perfect little kitchenette. Friendly fun neighborhood.  So glad to have had the bikes.  Even on rainy days the public transit was convenient enough. 
2735528,25194769,2015-01-09,20452199,Olyvia,"Being our first Airbnb experience, we were very impressed.  Awesome place to stay! The hosts were very welcoming and helpful.  The airstream is very spacious and the bed in incredibly comfortable.  We were able to walk most places as well as jump on a bus nearby.  The bicycles were a convenient way to navigate Austin.  "
2735528,25538456,2015-01-19,22773017,Maialen,The stay with Alexandria was great. The airstream was exactly as described in the picture and it was an awesome experience! Super clean beautiful and nice
2735528,25785791,2015-01-26,8875985,Ann,"The Airstream was adorable and cozy. I came on a cold weekend and it heated up nicely. Yes, I had to walk up some stairs to reach the bathroom, but it wasn't a big deal, and the bathroom was very nice. The bed is comfy! The space is ideal for one person, fine for two people who like each other, and probably not good for two people who need lots of room. The outside seating was fantastic! Alex was very friendly, as well. "
2735528,26004118,2015-02-01,1967903,Michael,"We loved our visit to East Austin and our stay in Alex's airstream. What an interesting neighborhood, so much to explore by bike!  There are lots of cool houses, bars, and restaurants within a short distance to the airstream, which still feels quiet and cozy when it's time to relax.

Thank you for the super comfy and cute accommodations!"
2735528,26350454,2015-02-10,14427034,Lydia,Alexandria did a great job showing us her place and making us feel welcomed.  The Airstream is very cozy and has everything you could need.  She also gave me honey when I needed for a cough which was nice!
2735528,26734942,2015-02-18,3285000,Emily,"We had a wonderful stay in the airstream! It was cold in Austin a couple of nights during our visit but the space heaters kept us very warm. The neighborhood is great, and very near lots of new and developing restaurants and bars in east Austin. Great for walking, biking and car2go (we relied on all three). Also a cute little patio attached to the airstream to hang out (we wish it had been warmer for us to enjoy the patio more!)--great place to stay for couples who like to cozy up and don't mind walking across the backyard to use the bathroom (which was very easy to do). "
2735528,26901719,2015-02-22,18221419,Linnaea,"I really enjoyed my stay in the Airstream.  Super comfy bed, cozy with the space heaters at night. I either walked or took Uber when I was headed out.  Bacon tacos and excellent coffee at the QuickiePickie every morning! I only briefly met Alexandria and her husband and they were both welcoming. I was attending a conference and so was away long days."
2735528,27206696,2015-02-28,26117678,Sarah,"Our stay was wonderful and the airstream is quite spacious!  It was a cold weekend so having the adorable fire place space heaters was very nice.  Finding the place was easy, except for the house numbers in Austin have 1/2s.  We accidentally knocked on the neighbor's door at first.  We didn't get a chance to meet Alexandria, but I the place was so cutely decorated I can tell she's great :)"
2735528,27340260,2015-03-02,19362173,Catherine,"The Airstream was very clean adorable and most importantly for our trip, warm. The fact that there were two heaters in there was great and very much appreciated!!"
2735528,27477477,2015-03-05,9559447,Andrew,"Cool, unique place to stay. 
We walked everywhere which was really easy, so a good location. 
Highly recommended."
2735528,27755413,2015-03-11,23663903,Kaitlin,"We really enjoyed our stay in the airstream. We met Alexandria at check-in, and she was very helpful. The neighborhood is eclectic (very Austin) and close to everything that we wanted to see and do. The space was incredibly cozy and clean and the bathroom was beautifully remodeled (great shower, too). We also really appreciated getting to use the bikes to explore town. This was our first Airbnb experience, but it won't be our last!"
2735528,28747600,2015-03-29,29541995,John,This was an excellent alternative to the often boring hotel experience. Alexandria has done a wonderful job with this creative and cozy space. I would definitely stay here again!
2735528,29040864,2015-04-03,27067685,Chuck,"Great place to stay!  The airstream is very cool and have everything we needed.  The deck is really cozy, the bed really comfortable!  East austin had so many interesting places to check out (bars, coffee shops, etc). "
2735528,29277086,2015-04-06,27660852,Torie,The trailer was very clean and cozy. It was also a good location for walking to nearby restaurants and bars. 
2735528,29736312,2015-04-12,27415497,Erick,"Alexandria greeted with me a smile, and was really helpful in filling me in on everything I needed to know about my stay. She also provided a list of local eateries and coffee shops, which turned out to be very helpful. Lastly, she has bicycles available, and they were great to have. Almost everything I needed to get to was just a 15 minute (or shorter) ride away. I'll contact her again on my next Austin trip!"
2735528,30195954,2015-04-19,27618559,Jacquelyn,"The airstream was perfect! We also loved Marty, the very friendly cat. Alexandria made us feel welcome but was never hovering. She also provided a great list of suggestions for the neighborhood, many of which we checked out and they were all fun spots. "
2735528,30430145,2015-04-21,278937,Terri,The trailer was just as advertised - very cute/charming.   And the bed was super comfortable.   Alexandria was friendly and the location was perfect for us.   
2735528,30673233,2015-04-26,27839104,Jennifer,This was my first time visiting Austin for pleasure and it was quite enjoyable. The Airstream was exactly how Alexandria described it although the wifi could use a small upgrade. The East Austin neighborhood is definitely up and coming.
2735528,30876310,2015-04-28,544837,Liliana,Great location to explore Austin and super cute place. My husband and I enjoyed the two nights we stayed here. Would recommend! 
2735528,31632223,2015-05-08,5031159,Linda,"The Airstream is a unique Airbnb experience, it looks just like the photos and has a comfortable bed. The bathroom is in the main house but is private, this was fine except for the night there was big storms, but it's all part of the fun. The A/C was definitely required as it gets hot and there is only one window with screens, so you couldn't open windows due to Mosquitos. Unfortunately the A/C is incredibly loud and so sleep was not great a few nights.
The location is 10 minute walk to the main part of East Austin, double that to downtown. Bikes were available or a 5 min walk away was buses. We also used Uber to get around. 
We didn't see Alexandria beyond check in which was smooth. We did cross over a lot with another couple who were staying in another Airbnb let- their door was where our bathroom was."
2735528,32266026,2015-05-16,7679096,Courtney,I had a lovely stay in the airstream. No better way to travel. Alex was welcoming and I would stay again in a heartbeat. 
2735528,32442549,2015-05-17,7296898,Sheena,"We really wanted to love this place, unfortunately it was a bit of a nightmare.

My boyfriend and I booked a trip to Austin for our 4th Anniversary because the airstream was charming and Alexandria had a high rating. 

We should have known something was wrong when we tried to contact Alexandria to confirm our reservation.

We e-mailed and texted her. No response. 

We finally got a hold of her the NIGHT before our flight on the phone. She apologized and said she was out of town, and mentioned that she got our e-mail and texts but “Didn’t have an internet connection.” We found that odd since a response to any of those wouldn’t require one. 

When we came to Austin, Alexandria was nice, showed us around and gave us the key. Everything was ok so far.

Then we realized she had not prepared the Airstream for our stay. 

There were spider webs in nooks and spider webs covering the light above the bed. There was mold in the Brita water filter. The shelves and counters were covered in dust. We booked the airstream on Jan 24th, almost 4 months in advance!

After coming home the night of our anniversary dinner, we passed Alexandria on our way to the airstream and said hi. As we’re laying in bed looking at our photos from the night, we looked up to see a 4” cockroach crawling on the ceiling above us!

After we freak out, we kill it, take a picture and text it to Alexandria. Despite the fact that we saw her just 15 minutes before, she didn’t respond. 

We move a few things around to see where it might have came from and in the process kill 3  baby cockroaches. 

At that point, we decided to book a hotel last minute for the remainder of the trip, an extra $800 we didn’t want to spend. 

The next morning there was still no response from our text from the previous night. We needed to drop off our key to her, so we call her and she doesn’t pick up. Her lights were on, we rang the doorbell. No response.

We ended up leaving the key in a safe place and leaving her a voice mail.

We contacted AirBnB, sent them the pictures we took of everything. They sided with us, refunding us the remainder of our days we booked with Alexandria.

By the way - it’s been nearly a week since we left Alexandria’s place and left the messages, she has not contacted us in any way to apologize or explain. I think that sums it up. 

We would not recommend. "
2735528,32463106,2015-05-18,26349164,Jennifer,"Very cool Airstream, great location! We experienced a crazy thunderstorm during our stay but the airstream held up really well. We loved Austin, if we get to visit again, we'd definitely stay at the airstream again. "
2735528,32884261,2015-05-23,6031905,Natalie,"My boyfriend and I stayed in Alexandria's super cool Airstream for part of our Austin vacation. It was very private and well equipped for relaxing and listening to music. The air conditioning was great! The weather was rainy for most of our stay so we didn't get to enjoy the outside deck as much as we would have liked but it's perfect for warm (dry) nights. The Airstream is in a cool neighborhood and walking distance to great restaurants and bars. The private bathroom isn't totally private because it is connected to the rest of the house and other guests might be tempted to use it. However, it was really clean and the shower was excellent. We had a great time!"
2735528,33089359,2015-05-25,18808755,Kara,"Alexandria’s airstream was a really neat and clean place to stay for our long weekend in Austin. And of course, very unique! She was able to accommodate a late check out and we were able to drop our bags at her place when we arrived before check in (and some other guests were still there) and we checked in a little early after that. It came equipped with a mini fridge and some kitchen items as well. The only drawback was that you had to walk across the yard to get to the (private) bathroom, which was really nice and clean, and we did know about this going into the weekend. There was also some nice outdoor seating and “chill area” outside of the airstream, but due to rainy weather, we weren’t really able to enjoy this space. And they have the sweetest kitty!! We would definitely stay in the airstream again and would recommend it to others! "
2735528,33460032,2015-05-28,13950287,Snehal,Perfect glamping in austin !
2735528,33829189,2015-06-01,25665283,Lauren,My favorite AirBnB experience to date! I can't imagine a better place to stay in Austin and would recommend it to anyone stopping in. The airstream was so much fun - very comfortable and super cool! It's very clear that a lot of thought and care went in to making it a great place to stay. Alexandria was a great host. She had excellent lists of recommendations for places to check out in town. Couldn't ask for a better experience!
2735528,34524548,2015-06-09,12972712,Hana,The Airstream was very nice!  It had been redone really beautifully and absolutely lived up to our expectations. Everything worked well and was as it should be.  It was a little far to walk downtown in the heat of June (or we are just unaccustomed to the heat) but I can see it being a great location to walk or bike downtown or to SoCo when the weather is cooler.
2735528,35206296,2015-06-16,29994445,Nick,"The airstream ruled!   Everything was as promised.  Alexandria was very nice and showed us around when we got there.  We only saw her one other time, but am sure she would have taken care of us if we needed her.  Location was great, within walking distance to many rad places.  I think the Franklin BBQ line ends just about in front of the house.
"
2735528,35791579,2015-06-22,31472543,Peter,The listing was perfect as described. Our stay was wonderful. The bikes were an awesome addition and made transportation around Austin simple. I would highly recommend people to stay here in the future.
2735528,36098204,2015-06-25,32063154,Erika,"My son and I had a great and unique experience by staying in Alexandria's airstream. Everything was clean, updated and the air conditioner worked really well which was a blessing since it was so hot in Austin. It was great eclectic and quiet neighborhood with a really cool coffee shop and taco truck within walking distance. Alexandria was accommodating but not intrusive. We love Austin and we love Alexandria's airstream!!"
2735528,36360831,2015-06-28,4580008,Lauren,"Awesome accommodation and location. The airstream was lovely and cool, and the bikes were great! Alex was a fabulous host and everything that we needed was provided."
2735528,36651878,2015-06-30,2660378,Lauren,"Cute place to stay!  Loved the airstream, and the location is great - within walking distance from the more hip East Austin restaurants and shops.  Would definitely recommend!"
2735528,37137282,2015-07-05,1986135,Sally,This was our first Airbnb experience and we found Alex to be a fantastic (friendly) host. She was always quick to respond to messages and went out of her way to make us comfortable. The airstream is awesome and really well located with some great bars and restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely recommend.
2735528,37604637,2015-07-08,2065869,Mitra,This was my second stay at this property  I loved it the first time so I had to book it again. The location is great central and close to many lovely restaurants and new boutiques in East Austin. Since my last stay there's been a new addition to the home with a private bathroom which it appears to be exclusively for the airstream. Everything is super clean and looks just like it does in the photos completely adorable. I'd highly recommend this to other guests!
2735528,37794679,2015-07-10,18250119,Catrine,"Veldig sjarmerende sted som vi likte kjempegodt. Praktisk ankomst og airstreamen ligger avskjermet fra veien i en bakhage. Ligger litt for langt fra sentrum til å gå, derfor supert at man kan få låne sykler gratis - de er veldig praktiske for å komme seg raskt rundt i Austin. Også noen utrolig kule barer i nabolaget, vi likte særlig godt White Horse. "
2735528,38013151,2015-07-12,14209866,Cyana,"We had a great time in Austin at Alex's place! The Airstream was very cute, clean, and perfect for two people. We got in late and Alex very nicely stayed up to greet us. We loved Austin and would stay here again if we came back!"
2735528,38386373,2015-07-15,9855805,Leslie,"The airstream was an absolute treat to stay in. It's spacious, cool, and charming. Alex has done a beautiful job creating a welcoming and interesting space. Both the airstream and the bathroom are very clean, incredibly designed, and fun! I highly recommend staying here (1-2 people max). It was close to local hot spots and parking was available right out front. I loved spending two nights here! "
2735528,39128864,2015-07-20,37179177,Bradley,"Great experience!!! The Airstream was very comfortable. Alexandria was awesome, gave great suggestions for things to do. "
2735528,39664964,2015-07-25,20169935,Madeleine,"This was such a great place to stay for our quick weekend trip to ATX! The airstream is adorable! I normally find myself deceived by the size of the location, but the airstream was pretty sizable (not that we needed much space). The only thing you should know is the bathroom is detached and a small walk to the house (very clean and adorable as well). Alexandria was an awesome host, quick to reply and offered help if needed. There's an adorable outdoor deck/space as well if you can tolerate that Texas heat (summertime)  for some beers. "
2735528,40331501,2015-07-30,21755874,Von,"We had THE BEST time in Austin. East Austin was a great area for food and bars and everything else we wanted was in close enough distance. 
Alexandria is the coolest! So welcoming and accommodating, and the airstream was beautifully set up, incredibly comfortable and an amazingly unique way to experience Austin. 
Will 100% be back!"
2735528,40702727,2015-08-01,21151076,Tony,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2735528,40802282,2015-08-02,2402494,Jessica,"The airstream was so fun to experience and in good shape!  Perfectly cozy for a pair.  The bikes were convenient to have to transport to local coffee shops and breakfast, but it was also only a $5 uber ride to downtown as well.  The house the airstream is parked behind appears to get rented out as well, so depending on current renters could alter your experience.  Overall a great way to enjoy our trip to Austin!"
2735528,42899647,2015-08-16,35641523,Graziella,Alexandria is an amazing host! The city and her airstream is very cool. Loved the vibe! Definitely will be staying again! 
2735528,43686753,2015-08-21,8650610,Barrett,The airstream is nicely decorated and in a good part of town! Clean and easy access to restrooms inside. We would stay again.

Alex was welcoming and happy to fix any of our small issues (wifi was not working when we arrived). Bed was comfy, a couple of the lights and the hifi system weren't functioning but didn't stop the stay from being totally charming. Would stay again."
2735528,44920126,2015-08-30,11904980,Nicole,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay in the airstream. It was cozy and comfortable, perfect for two people. We also fell in love with location it was close to awesome shops, restaurants, and bars in the East Austin area. Although we didn't see Alexandria often she was really accommodating. Planning on staying here again during our next visit to Austin!"
2735528,45672743,2015-09-05,8324299,Joe,"The airstream is great! The host had good recommendations about where to grab dinner, too."
2735528,47353412,2015-09-18,30436415,Katherine,"The airstream was really cute, a unique accommodation option for Austin.

The amenities were great - the bed was comfy, there's a deck for having afternoon beers, & the air con definitely came in handy. The bathroom is part of the main house but it feels private so you don't have to worry about feeling like you're intruding.

Alex wasn't able to meet us at check in but it was easy enough to find everything on our own.

Only thing to note was that we couldn't get the wifi signal at all throughout the stay."
7743452,46920374,2015-09-14,22777084,John,"The place was amazing. Pool was great. They had a a binder of where everything was located in the house, along with places to eat/drink. Very thoughtful and informative. Location was very good. Walking distance to some great places to eat and some nice bars."
7743452,47715203,2015-09-21,4730134,Okunola,"This is a great accommodation/value for larger groups traveling to the Austin area. The photos and description are accurate, the house is well appointed and maintained, and the management team was very responsive and accommodating to our inquiries before and during the stay, I would highly recommend the property. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, but conveniently located near downtown and the Sixth Street district, etc. Our group of 8 had a great weekend with the property as our base."
7743452,48719374,2015-09-28,41174125,Edward,"The house is great and designed wonderfully for a large group.  Great care is taken to make sure you are comfortable as there are plenty of blankets, pillows, towels for both the bathroom and pool as well as soap, shampoo and conditioner.  It was totally unexpected but so convenient to have those materials.

The neighborhood is a little far from ""downtown"" but is a short walk to taco and bbq trucks.  There is a gas station / convenience store 1 block away that sells all the basic necessities for a group.  A supermarket is about a mile away as well.  We used Uber to get around all weekend and each ride to Rainey Street or other places downtown cost about $20 for Uber XL.

We were given a complementary early check-in and late check-out, which was extremely appreciated.  The WiFi worked well, there are plenty of dishes / pots and pans and a large amount of coffee is provided.  Every part of the house is in good condition and works well.

The property is managed by a management company that seems to care about offering a quality place to stay.  It was definitely worth the cost and I would stay there again if I went back to Austin with a large group. "
5192688,28088622,2015-03-17,350889,Adam,"A group of work colleagues & myself rented Christina's lovely 2-story, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home to attend SXSW. She was extremely professional, flexible, and just a pleasure to communicate with overall.  Christina's home is beautifully appointed - my two biggest highlights are the kitchen and the gorgeous back terrace view. It was also perfectly situated right in the heart of Austin, with South Congress shops & restaurants easily walkable in 10 minutes or less, and Downtown area walkable for a fit person on a nice day, or a 5 minute cab ride (or 10 min B-Bike rental ride). Can't say enough about how pleasurable our stay was. Would definitely stay again."
5192688,28281783,2015-03-21,29098494,Aljolynn,"Christina and John were very accommodating and available, if we needed assistance. They left snacks for us to enjoy, which was a nice touch. Their home is within walking distance to South Congress and the neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. Their home was gorgeous inside and out, as well as spacious so all five of us could have our own space if desired. It was raining while we were in Austin so we didn't spend much time outside in the backyard but it was beautiful! They also have a lot of covered outdoor space if we just wanted to hang back and get some fresh air for a bit before the SXSW festivities.

In what little time we had off the clock, I understand that they enjoyed the balcony and the view a great deal."
3362115,51291728,2015-10-19,42286570,Melinda,"I thought the house was as described and looked bigger in person. It's in a great neighborhood close to South Lamar and quick drive to downtown. The view is also beautiful!! We had another rental booked originally and we got ""upgraded"" since unexpected repairs occurred for the same price!! Only downside is the rooster that lived next door who cockadoodle-dooed a little early for my taste. Jay was a great host and would definitely use again!!"

Close to great cafes.. and I loved the house so much I didn't wanna leave.  Brooke is an awesome host. I needed a place last minute and Brooke totally came through for me !!! You will not find anything better!!!!

5339997,33075736,2015-05-25,1691425,Jennifer,"Husband and I stayed here with another couple for a week and it was ideal. Home was warm and supplies provided for all the basics. Brooke responded quickly to all contact. Location was ideal as we had easy 15-20 min walks to lots of different neighbourhoods but our favourite was exploring East Austin, right where we were. Throughout the week we frequently commented on what a good choice we made selecting this home to stay in. "
5339997,37377143,2015-07-06,30117462,Mary,"My friends and I had a great stay here! Everything was very straightforward for check-in and check-out, and Brooke was easy to get in touch with. The house was the perfect size for the four of us, and we especially liked that there was room to park 2 cars in the driveway. Ample space and amenities in the backyard made our stay even more fun. Downtown Austin was within a 5-10 minute walk, as was the up-and-coming east side neighborhood's points of interest. Not having to worry about parking when we were going places was a real blessing! We felt safe in the house and in the neighborhood, but the house's alarm system as an added security feature helped my friends and I to feel at ease when we locked up for the night.  Overall, it was a wonderful experience, a great value, and I would certainly stay here again."
5339997,38851117,2015-07-19,7991982,Monir,"Fantastic host, fantastic house. The management app that Brooke uses is great and was a resource for everything we needed. The house itself is the perfect size and perfect location to the convention center and 6th street. I would definitely stay here again.

"
5339997,40122202,2015-07-28,6727649,Amelia,"The East 2nd Cottage was super cute! Brooke was very responsive with any questions and concerns I had. The home had everything you needed and more! I had some family visit the Airbnb and they all raved about it, even inquired how they could possibly stay there sometime in the future. The neighborhood was semi sketchy but that's kind of a given when you're so close to downtown. Overall I really enjoy my stay, and was super appreciative when Brooke allowed me to extend my stay by a day. I definitely would stay here again. :-)"
5339997,41243059,2015-08-05,31386478,Sam,"We couldn't have asked for a better location. 10 minute walk to downtown great restaurants just around the corner. One of which was Le Barbecue. The cottage itself was great. Well furnished, clean and fitted with aircon to beat the heat. Thanks Brooke, I'll book again next time I'm in town.  "
5339997,43925465,2015-08-23,31670351,Trevor,Wow! This was our first experience with Air BnB and I must say it's been nothing but top notch. Brooke was more than accommodating and helpful along the way. I will be staying in this particular house again in the future. 
77176,202395,2011-03-18,430392,Thaniya,What a fabulous place! I'm totally envious of this living quarter. We didn't get to meet Sean in person but he is super nice and responsive over email. 5 stars all around.
77176,1001918,2012-03-15,1631432,Bryan,"The place is wonderful, and Sean is a very attentive host.  The neighborhood is nice, and getting to downtown was pretty easy via bus.  I would definitely stay there again."
77176,1016512,2012-03-19,386269,Scott,"Sean's place was comfortable, in a great neighborhood, and very nicely furnished, just like in the photos. He made sure we had everything we needed. I had a great time staying there on my business trip to SXSW, and it was easy to get public transportation directly downtown when the wait for cabs was too long."
892124,3741036,2013-03-10,5276628,David,"I stayed at Daniel's place during a recent trip to Austin and had a fantastic experience. The apartment is extremely clean, located in the heart of Austin's gourmet/ avant-garde food scene, and just minutes away from great live music and downtown.   It's in the center of town but also a bit of a quiet nook. The apartment is chic but unpretentious, brand new yet comfortable - a perfect way to spend a few nights in Austin. I'd stay here again for sure.

Thanks Daniel!"
892124,4237126,2013-04-21,820643,Scott,"great location, great place, great hosts! would certainly stay here again."
892124,8230478,2013-10-21,9235673,Hannah,"Loved it!  The apartment was a perfect fit for my weekend. Close to downtown, extremely clean, modern and comfy. Dan and Erin were the perfect hosts. It was my first airbnb experience, and have to say it couldn’t of been better. I will highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a place in Austin.  "
892124,9005220,2013-12-01,9949502,Zach,"Dan and his wife were great hosts. The garage/apt was very nice, clean, and modern. Would definitely stay here again."
892124,10452364,2014-02-19,2028335,Lauren,"Our overall experience Dan's place was fantastic. The place was as pictured and we felt right at home very quickly. There were 5 of us, but the place felt spacious. It was clean with beautiful tall ceilings and renovated interior. It is central and was very easy to get around. Only a few pointers I would give guests in the future. The door is tricky to open and close. We accidentally left the door unlocked a few times, but by the end we got it. If you are there with multiple people it is a little tricky with the bathroom situation since you can basically see the person changing through the glass in the door when you walk by. We just resolved it by not walking by. The other challenge was since there was 5 of us, we borrowed the air mattress, which would partially deflate by morning. We let them know, but only at the end, so I am sure it will be resolved for the next guests. The other 2 futons/beds were great. Overall, it was perfect for our weekend getaway and we all agreed we wouldn't hesitate to book there again. Thank you Dan!"
892124,10730981,2014-03-04,12483308,Jarod,"Dan & Erins garage apt is a great place to stay if you are in town for a few days (you could actually live there very comfortably :)). The room is open, very comfortable, beautifully appointed and nice and quiet if that is what you want. Dan & Erin are there if you need them but not if you don't, perfect hosts!!! My wife and I stayed for a child free Austin weekend and absolutely loved it! We will return sometime!!! "
892124,11048460,2014-03-18,8781217,Karishma,"Erin and Dan were great hosts.  Prior to our visit, Dan was available to answer all our questions in a timely manner.  The garage apt was fantastic - clean and modern.  There were a total of 5 of us who were able to sleep comfortably.  There's ample street parking and it's in close proximity to butler and zilker park, and all the food trucks.  We would definitely stay here again. "
892124,11127082,2014-03-22,11015812,Sonja,"We had a great experience staying here! The apartment was very clean and spacious, and the kitchen was well-stocked with essentials. Dan and Erin were friendly and very accommodating. The neighborhood was nice, fairly quiet but not far from some stores and restaurants and just a short drive from downtown. Would definitely recommend!"
892124,11178640,2014-03-24,5320857,Michelle,"Dan and Erin were fantastic hosts. They reached out ahead of time to make sure we were on the same page and gave a ton of great recommendations we followed up on. The apartment was very clean and spacious, and had more than enough room for the 5 of us that were staying there. It's also in a nice location in Austin (some great restaurants/food trucks, Zilker park, etc.) which made the stay very convenient.

We had a great stay in Austin, many thanks to Dan, Erin, and their cats. We took Erin's yoga class too which was a great way to get the day started. The upshot: a great place to stay and great hosts -- everything you'd want in an Airbnb experience. Highly recommended."
892124,11748494,2014-04-14,12777248,Lauren,This was our first Air BnB experience and our hosts really set the bar. Not only were they great with tips on the area and things to do before we arrived but when we were there they were very easy to communicate with. This apartment is almost too clean which is something we really loved. It had everything we needed even a hair dryer. We would rent from them again. 
892124,12009836,2014-04-21,9955347,Nicole,Dan was an excellent host! We stopped in Austin for the first time ever and immediately found haven in the cool loft space over the garage. The neighborhood is quirky and fun...close to main streets and fun environments like the pizza place and brewery around the corner. Each time we headed out--whether to the city or for local culture and food--we were always greeted upon our return by the 3 fun-loving cats who live out and about on the property. Dan was accommodating and helpful and the space is new construction and kept clean. We truly had a great time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a neat way to see Austin.
892124,12662556,2014-05-07,6147245,Sherry,"Dan and Erin were amazing hosts! They provided an extremely helpful and thorough Google doc, complete with local bar and restaurant recommendations, taxi service info, house rules, etc. Also, they were highly responsive and even lent us lawn chairs and a cooler when I told them we were headed for a music festival.

The loft was very modern and clean. It was well-stocked with essentials (toiletries, towels) and neat extras like a cocktail shaker and board games. The location is great, since it's walkable to ABGB (a brewery and pizza place) and 1st Street. 

I highly recommend staying with Dan and Erin. It was absolutely perfect for a girls' getaway."
892124,12784693,2014-05-11,8318095,Claire,We loved our stay at Dan’s apartment which was both spacious and practical. It is located in a great neighborhood with cool restaurants and bars at walking distance. Dan and Erin were perfect hosts and gave us excellent tips for our stay. Would definitely love to stay there again.
892124,13096670,2014-05-19,14822371,Janet,"Highly recommend staying here!! 

This was my first time using Airbnb.  The whole process went smoothly from start to finish.  Dan was very easy to communicate with.  His garage apartment is super clean and very spacious.  There were 6 guests in my party.  We had room on the floor for two extra inflatable mattresses (Dan conveniently provided one of them for us).  Plenty of towels were provided for us to use for the entire weekend.  Location is great. There's a CVS that is practically in walking distance plus plenty of restaurants nearby and more.  My family were all impressed with our stay.  We felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. 

Even though I have lived in Austin myself before, I felt like I got to experience the city in a new and refreshing way by staying at Dan's and his wife's lovely garage apartment.  I would easily hope to stay here again! "
892124,13925206,2014-06-08,10436637,Dan,"What a fantastic unit. Comfortable, well decorated, and had everything I needed for a week's stay. Dan is a fantastic host and is good with the helpful but leaves you alone balance. "
892124,14068165,2014-06-10,15643885,Lorie,We could not have asked for better hosts! Communication was fast and Dan & Erin were very accommodating with our schedule.  The location was perfect and the apartment had everything we needed and was very clean.  My daughter was even able to fit a yoga session in on site with Erin!  Look forward to our next stay. 
892124,14654557,2014-06-23,16741625,Lauren,We had a great Airbnb experience in this apartment! Dan is incredibly thorough and easy to get in contact with and the apartment has everything perfectly laid out. It's an excellent location -- we had absolutely no trouble getting around. It was a great stay.
892124,16856768,2014-08-03,18145202,Hugo,"Dan made it very easy to check in and checkout. I was there for business and the easy access simplified my trip. 
Near a lot of restaurant and near Lamar street made it easy to go anywhere. "
892124,18417587,2014-08-26,8798595,Leigh,"Favorite Airbnb to date! Identical to pictures, and Dan & Erin made access and accommodations as simple as possible. They also provide a binder with walkable recommendations as well as local recommendations. Tons of places to walk to, and a very easy Uber ride downtown. I would definitely stay here again."
892124,20248801,2014-09-26,7932698,Matthew,"The house was great! Clean, spacious and convenient for getting around Austin. Dan and Erin were both helpful and responded quickly to any questions. Would recommend."
892124,21596671,2014-10-20,2384515,Kathryn,"Such a great place to stay! 
I've stayed at several Austin Airbnbs and this was my favorite.
The apartment was exactly as pictured. 
Three of us fit very comfortably. Street parking was no problem. Erin & Dan were reachable and responsive but were totally respectful of our space and didn't hover at all.
The neighborhood has exploded with awesome restaurants (I think the best in the city…) and shops in the last couple of years.
All in all, totally great! I come back to Austin a couple times a year and will always check to see if this place is available. "
892124,21881786,2014-10-26,21082536,Audrea,"Dan and Erin were great hosts. They were easy to coordinate with on check in and check out, and very helpful with suggestions for places to go near by. Most of our communication happened via text message which was easy for me since we were on the go most of the time. South Lamar is a great place to be if you want to be within walking distance to many things, and only 20 minutes from the airport. The garage apartment was exactly as pictured, clean, adequately furnished and well maintained with a sense of humor. You'll see as soon as you reach for a peppermint from the kitchen bar, or read one of the unique books on hand. Having wireless was nice, we were able to use our tablets and not waste data on our phones. We didn't use the TV, but they have many options to choose from. The closet was plenty big enough to hold any of the extra things you might ask for during a hotel stay, towels, a hair dryer, blankets.... not that we needed any, the weather was wonderful.

We didn't use much in the kitchen, but it was fully equipped to make a small meal. The bathroom is small, but the shower is great, There must be an inline water heater, because it heats up quickly.

We walked nearby to Fermentation fest at ABGB (Austin Beer Garden Brewing) and had a blast, it's less than 5 minutes away. We were also able to walk to Odd Duck, Barley Swine and the Highball, all places I would recommended visiting if you come stay with Erin and Dan. Irie Bean is great for coffee in the morning, as is Torchy's Tacos for breakfast. SoCo is only a 15 minute drive and Downtown is slightly farther, but still easy to get to. "
892124,22238775,2014-11-02,2380395,Kyndal,"My husband and I had the most amazing time at Case de Thorton!  In fact, it was our favorite Austin Airbnb location yet! 

The apartment is absolutely beautiful and comfortable. The pictures are very true to the unit & the atmosphere of the space; plus you can't beat the location. 

Dan and Erin were very welcoming host and made our stay seamless and worry free. We really enjoyed chatting with them and the occasional hello from their three friendly felines. 

Couldn't be more pleased with our stay. I would deffinately recommend this place to anyone looking to have a truly authentic Austin experience! "
892124,24466656,2014-12-29,12697352,Carol,"We completely enjoyed our experience at Casa Thornton.  Dan and Erin were in contact ahead of our arrival and made us feel welcome and cared for the entire time there.  The pictures are very true to life - the space is beautiful and has absolutely everything needed of a loft apartment.  The location was convenient with great places to eat nearby.  If you are a yogi, take the time to join one of Erin's yoga classes - the perfect way to recover from travel and reset for your time in Austin."
892124,24672282,2015-01-01,5142398,Porscha,"Dan was a great host! He was sure to answer any calls/messages promptly and was available if any questions arose. The place looked exactly as it did in the photos and was pristine! It's a great place...very open and luminous during the day. The neighborhood was nice. It's on the fringes of where all the action starts happening as you make your way up South Lamar. In addition, it's easy access to places on South Congress. "
892124,25770363,2015-01-25,11981327,Amelia,We had a great experience here. Dan and Erin were friendly and responsive. The garage apartment is very spacious. 
892124,26010453,2015-02-01,19250361,Andrew,Excellent hosts. Nice clean place to stay. Love the loft!
892124,26288398,2015-02-08,27234341,Brandon,"The place was in the perfect location-very close to some amazing restaurants and coffee. Dan was extremely accommodating and helpful. The place was immaculately kept, and it had everything we needed! We would highly recommend this place to anyone. "
892124,26995256,2015-02-23,24298298,Dona,"OK. I am pretty certain that this is the most gorgeous apartment in Austin. Not only are Erin and Dan exquisite hosts, this is WHERE you want to be in Austin. Close to everything, like SoCo, and South Lamar where you can kick up your heels (that would be cowboy boots). Austin is about the best place in the US as far as I am concerned. This apartment is IMMACULATE (beyond immaculate). They will do your laundry if needed (we stayed a long time) and their cats are AWESOME. Highly recommended. They have an electric piano as well that works. Good TV, very cool."
892124,29144709,2015-04-04,3121752,Judit,"Originally, we planned to spend only two nights in Austin but the accommodation was so great that we changed our plans and extended our stay with another 2 days. Dan and Erin were great hosts, very responsive and helpful. Their place is not only a cool loft apt. but very clean and within walking distance to great restaurants and bars and clubs. I'd definitely come back and stay at Dan's place again. "
892124,29747201,2015-04-12,25613375,Rudy,"Staying in this apartment was absolutely killer. If you're particular about good design, you'll be more than satisfied. The apartment is kept immaculately. We really appreciated access to speakers and a ton of outlets. Dan and Erin were awesome - they made sure to leave thorough instructions for staying in their space, as well as food and drink recommendations for their neighborhood. Location was great and close to everything we visited during our stay. We'd absolutely stay here again!"
892124,30096730,2015-04-17,3667751,Laura,"Erin and Dan's place is great for a visit to Austin.  They were responsive from the get-go.  We arrived around midnight and were able to accommodate us.  Any request or question was responded to in a very timely manor. The apartment is lovely, clean and true to the pictures.  It is in a wonderful location, the neighborhood is safe and convenient. We parked our car at Zilker Park and walked along the river into downtown.  This is a great place to stay, A+ show."
892124,30258781,2015-04-19,8015121,Martin,We had a great stay at Dan and Erin's apartment. It was spacious and very clean and was in a great location! They were friendly and helpful in giving advice for places to go and communicated well throughout the stay. Would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here!
892124,30865492,2015-04-28,5689540,Dave,"Dan and Erin's modern apartment was the perfect homebase for our long weekend in Austin.  We appreciated the modern aesthetic and the proximity to South Congress Ave, Barton Springs and lots of great restaurants and shopping.  They were very responsive and we appreciated the personalized touches they added to make our visit special.  We hope to return sometime."
892124,31209403,2015-05-03,16294153,Tiffany,"This apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin! The apartment is modern, spacious and very clean. There were three of us staying here over a weekend so we utilized the loft bed, futon bed, and air mattress, which were all comfy! We also never felt crowded in the space, which is amazing with all the luggage we brought.  Dan and Erin were both super friendly and were great about communicating with us about the property, our arrival time and suggestions for things to do in the neighborhood. We enjoyed this area of Austin because there were so many great restaurants and shops nearby and would definitely love to stay with Dan and Erin again!"
892124,31799152,2015-05-10,7643266,Kory,The apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. It was spacious and very clean.  Dan was quite friendly- even when we lost our key. We were able to walk to many of our favorite food trucks.  The notebook he prepared with local information was helpful as well. Highly recommend. 
892124,33093980,2015-05-25,15713801,Courtney,Dan's place was clean and in the perfect location. He was communicative and understanding and I would definitely stay there again.

It was so cozy, clean, and perfect for my first visit to Austin! I would absolutely recommend their apartment to anyone visiting Austin!!!"
892124,38415480,2015-07-15,24796921,Kat,Dan and Erin have a beautiful place! My Dad stayed here on his trip to Austin and was very comfortable in the house.  Everything was very new and the amenities were perfect for a weekend.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone staying in South Austin!
892124,39115087,2015-07-20,16213762,Ethan,"Great location, great space...Erin and Dan were fantastic hosts and if we are back in Austin again, we'll be staying here again!"
892124,39836947,2015-07-26,19994098,Chris,"Hosts were excellent, very easy to communicate with. Check in and out were seamless. They were available as needed but still gave you plenty of privacy. The apartment was perfect, gave a nice fun launch pad for our Austin adventure. Very modern yet comfortable setting. Would recommend to anyone with small groups of people, we had 5 people and were extremely comfortable. Will most assuredly consider coming back in the future!"
892124,40387310,2015-07-30,39150283,Nolan,"Erin was there to see us in, and was very friendly! The neighborhood was in the best location for traveling around Austin. Close to downtown and Zilker, and the Garage Apartment was great for our stay. Very nice visit, and the list of recommendations from Dan & Erin was superb and helped us out tremendously when it came to places to eat. "
892124,41820558,2015-08-09,28774678,Phillip,Dan and Erin were very prompt in their communication and accommodated us perfectly without any issues. Thanks for everything
892124,42998578,2015-08-16,37739591,Kade,"Dan and Erin provided my friends and I with a great experience. Their garage loft best exemplifies a place that I would call a modern home. They responded to all of my questions within a couple of hours, and never bothered us with anything. 
I have a hard top on my jeep and they even let us take that off and we found room to store it and the doors. 

The space was very open and the beds were very comfy. They even provided us with an extra blow up mattress. 

I would 100% stay here again if I get the chance."
892124,46746838,2015-09-13,32802145,Luis,Dan was cool and didn't intrude at all. The place had everything we needed for a guys weekend away. Plenty of good places nearby.
892124,50917293,2015-10-16,30855635,Jacqueline,Just spent 10 days at this apartment in Austin and it was fantastic. Friendliest city we have ever been to. Great location close to some good bars and restaurants. Bus stops really close by for getting to downtown or the supermarket.  The apartment was perfect for us. Nice and modern. Used the sofa bed as we didn't fancy using the ladder to the mezzanine bedroom in the middle of night (we are accident prone!) Sofa was very comfortable and apartment was big enough that we didn't need to put it away every night. However the best thing about the apartment were the owners Dan and Erin. Always happy to chat but gave us plenty of privacy.  Had a problem with the air con but they got it fixed in no time and even got us a wee bottle of wine for our 'trouble'.  Would definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin.
892124,51441308,2015-10-20,8135447,Kelsey,"My wife and I had a great time visiting Austin and this awesome apartment made our downtime very relaxing. The description and pictures of the place were spot on, in fact, it's even nice in person. Erin made us feel very welcomed, and was kind enough to provide recommendations on local coffee, beer, and tacos. The location was perfect for us - minutes from Lamar, 10 minutes or so from downtown, and just a few miles from Barton Springs. We visited those areas and more and found it extremely easy to pop back to the apartment to rest. One thing to note about the apartment is the proximity to active railroad tracks. We noticed trains rolling by 2-3 times per day, and the noise was minimal and short-lived but noticeable. It didn't affect our enjoyment of the property, and we would certainly consider staying here again. Thanks for helping to make this first Austin trip a huge success, Erin and Dan!"
892124,52041599,2015-10-26,26270957,Adam,Best Airbnb experience I've had to date. Dan's place served as an awesome home base for a few friends and I as we explored Austin. Spacious and modern with a cool loft layout this spot is nestled in a great S. Austin neighborhood within walking distance to several bars and restaurants. Dan was excellent at communicating and provided a helpful booklet with information about Austin and the home itself upon check in. I would highly recommend Dan's place to anyone in a small group looking for clean comfortable stay in the S. Austin area.

I had a great time staying here, it's location is perfect because it is secluded near the river yet only a short distance from the city. The condo itself is very luxurious and clean."
7717080,51831461,2015-10-24,46694863,Laurel,Angela was very welcoming and helpful.  She quickly answered all of my questions.  The condo was essential as advertised.  The neighborhood is quiet and safe.  The condo could use some maintenance and the owner is aware.  We stayed in the unit while the floors in our nearby home were being refinished so we basically just needed somewhere to be for several days.  
2606260,11783485,2014-04-14,59497,Cory,My wife and I had an amazing time and Rosanne was an amazing host. We felt like we had our own private cottage in the Hill Country. Great views and close access to the city. 5 stars! 
2606260,12324579,2014-04-28,14766069,Jack,Staying at Rosanne's made the Austin trip for my best friends and me. It's an easy commute to downtown Austin with the benefit of being in the scenic hills of Austin. We got great tips from our friendly hosts on what to see and where to eat. Nantucket charm is the perfect way to describe the accommodations. Plenty of room with every amenity and then some. Cant wait to get back to Austin!
2606260,12574417,2014-05-05,9411416,Timothy,"We were visiting family in Austin for the weekend, and Rosanne's Natucket get-away was the perfect spot for us. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with the beautiful overlook of the Austin hillside. The deck was simply perfect for sitting back, and enjoying the view as the sun was setting for the evening. Rosanne prepared her garage apartment for us, which was the home-away-from-home that we were looking for. The lodging was more than we could ask for with the privacy of a hotel. Complete with chocolates waiting for us on the pillows, and complimentary drinks in the refrigerator. We will certainly keep Rosanne in mind next time we are visiting family in the area."
2606260,13121800,2014-05-19,4433432,Hachem,"Rosanne house is lovely, nested in a beautiful and ritzy part of Austin, it was a perfect setting for a get away weekend. The kids loved the tree house, and the trampoline in the backyard. we enjoyed sitting by the pool and relaxing. Lake Austin was minutes away. "
2606260,13221602,2014-05-22,15011481,Tony,"My wife and I are so happy we stayed at Rosanne's.  In addition to the place being fabulous (loved the cottage, get-away feel), we got to meet Rosanne.  She bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and gave us invaluable information and ideas about the local area.  100% satisfied!"
2606260,13939503,2014-06-08,4382611,Spencer,"Really nice, cozy place. The host is very gracias and helpful."
2606260,15357613,2014-07-07,1902633,Mel N Pete,"We celebrated our daughter, Olivia's birthday as well as 4th of July at Rosanne's Nantucket gem nestled in Austin's Hill Country. Rosanne was very helpful with providing restaurants and nearby sites for our Family to enjoy.  The apartment was clean,  fridge was stocked with cold beverages,  and she greeted our stay with a sweet little welcome package.  The views of the hill country were amazing!  The pool and deck were spacious and Rosanne has a Weber gas grill to complete the poolside festivities! We were extremely pleased and will definitely be back!!"
2606260,16175192,2014-07-22,12329562,Daniel,"What a way to be introduced to Austin. It was my wife's first time here and did not want to stay in a hotel. What a wonderful surprise to see this lovely apartment in this beautiful neighborhood. Million dollar homes with fantastic views. Our host was most helpful and gracious. This is my third experience with airbnb, fist two were not that pleasant. One thing I learned was to read. I was surprised that the apt. comes with two twins and one hide a bed. So, we slept apart…. Still was a fantastic experience. This location was very well located. About 20 minutes to downtown Austin."
2606260,21645900,2014-10-20,14699226,YoungChol,"It was great place to visit Austin.
This place located in safety, cozy, and quiet place.
Also, really nice view, close to downtown, and great place to have a dinner (""The Grove"").

I really recommend to accommodate here (who have a car)."
2606260,22595628,2014-11-10,785304,Alex,"Thanks for a great stay. Clean, comfortable and perfect for a weekend exploring Austin."
2606260,28206825,2015-03-20,26495426,Aj,Rosanne and her Fiance Will were great host.  She and Will went up and beyond to see to it that me and my guest was super comfortable.  She helped me layout a game plan for my trip and even drove me into the city a few times.  She even shared some awesome info with me that made my trip more enjoyable.   The space was comfortable and felt like home.  I particularly like driving on to the property all the UBBER drivers would ask if I was rich or something.   Anyways I had a blast in Texas.
2606260,30365410,2015-04-20,31333521,Trisha,"This was our first experience using Airbnb, and I could not have been more pleased!  The apartment was perfectly appointed and welcoming.  Rosanne went to great lengths to keep us informed of how to enter the neighborhood, even offering detailed directions if we needed them. Her initial contact asking us if we had specific preferences for the mini fridge really surprised me.  I had not expected such considerate treatment.  We hope to use Airbnb again when traveling to other destinations and hope to find that our experience is just as pleasurable as the one we had here.  As for any future trips to Austin, we hope that this charming option will be available.  It was truly a wonderfully relaxing stay!"
2606260,31374973,2015-05-04,6354129,Stephanie,"Rosanne was a wonderful host and the accommodations were clean, comfortable and inviting. Rosanne had no problem accommodating our early morning arrival time and late night departure time. We were on a girls trip and the two twin beds and one sofa bed was perfect for us! We loved the beautiful views, the security of being in a gated community and the extra amenities like the mini fridge stocked with drinks and snacks. Other reviews mentioned that it would be best to have a car, but we had no problem traveling to and from the apartment using Uber and Lyft. I would not hesitate to stay with Rosanne again!"
2606260,32026164,2015-05-12,14141288,Jessie,"Roseanne and Will graciously welcomed my mother and I into their guest house on Mother's Day after very detailed instructions regarding the location of the home. During our stay, we felt very safe behind the gated entrance and limited traffic of the neighborhood. The guest house was a welcoming white suite just above the garage with ample privacy and parking for both our vehicles. The view made us feel like we were in a hidden tree house in the Austin Hill Country! The fridge was stocked with sodas, snacks, and coffee; the linens were fresh and comfortable; the property was just as the pictures portray, gorgeous! On Roseanne's recommendation, we tried: The Grove, Magnolia Cafe, and Steiner Ranch Steakhouse and were thrilled with each choice. Their family is very hospitable and my mother and I are planning on a reunion trip, already.  Wonderful hosts and a beautiful property; I would highly recommend this property to anyone...as long as they don't want to book the same days as me!! :)"
2606260,32632497,2015-05-19,14141288,Jessie,Another wonderful visit in the Texas Hill Country. Thanks Roseanne!  I'm sure we'll be back again soon (with purpose)! 
2606260,33139911,2015-05-25,32353501,Lauren,"Rosanne was a great host.  She provided fresh fruit upon our request and it was a much needed snack coming in from the road.  My daughter enjoyed the trampoline in the backyard and watching the rabbits playing as well.  Their was a tornado warning in the area while we were there and Rosanne offered her home to us if the weather became worst.  We really appreciated that gesture, because we did not have a clue what was going on.  Thanks again"
2606260,33586201,2015-05-30,28115420,Ellen,"Rosanne and her family were excellent hosts- we couldn't have asked for more. The rooms were just as described and I would recommend staying with her, without reservation. Thanks Rosanne!"
2606260,33793774,2015-06-01,26171803,Eric,We had a great time staying at Rosanne's place. The location is great and the garage apartment is perfect for a couple or even for a family with 1 or 2 small kids. The pool is very nice and the drinks and snacks provided by Rosanne were a very nice touch.
2606260,46096858,2015-09-07,37478565,Megan,"My husband and I came to Austin for a friends wedding and found Rosanne's place on airbnb. We are sure glad we did! Nantucket charm sits in a beautiful, gated community and is as adorable as the pictures look. Rosanne was fast to respond and very accommodating on our arrival and check out times. Our fridge was stocked with drinks and coffee creamer. She had cute cups and saucers, assorted teas and spoons set out. She even left a chocolate on each pillow! This is a great, private, clean and comfortable place to stay and is within short driving distance to Austin or San Marcos Area attractions. "
2606260,47887474,2015-09-21,42579574,Grant,"The experience was wonderful as my wife and I were going to Austin for a 4th birthday, and this home is absolutely wonderful.  Hosts are outstanding and the views make you feel as if you are in the heart of the Hill Country while still being only 15 minutes from the heart of the action in Austin! "
2606260,51401126,2015-10-19,45221568,Cassie,"Our experience at Nantucket charm was beyond our expectations. From the moment I made an inquiry to the minute we left, Roseanne was very accommodating. The drinks in the fridge and the chocolates on our pillow  made to feel right at home. The neighborhood is beautiful and the view is spectacular!  Her home is just far enough to experience the peace and quiet of a quaint vacation home yet only minutes from downtown. We highly recommend this beauty and are looking forward to staying again soon! "
2606260,52206491,2015-10-27,19359643,Paul,"This is the first time that I visit Austin Texas and got my eyes on the Nantucket charm in West Austin. The email conversation with Rosanne started directly after booking to give me the tips and tricks how to get around.  
The apartment is directly next to Rosanne’s house where you directly can enjoy your privacy. In my case I visit with two other adults guys who where a long weekend in town for a sporting event what got over shadowed by the rainfall. 
To get around in Austin we decided to rent a car at the airport what brought us everywhere around in the downtown in less then 15 minutes.
I will visit again but hopefully then only the beautiful weather so I can cool down in the pool.

8687264,52184455,2015-10-26,47021985,Ed,"Great place, clean, comfortable beds, and Ashlan was super accommodating and friendly throughout our entire stay.  "
8590445,49848393,2015-10-06,42281783,Eliza,"Heather was an awesome host with a great flat. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay. She met us with her adorable dog and gave us a tour of the living space. She left some snacks for us to munch on and was very flexible with our check-in and checkout times. There's also a pool! She made our stay very pleasant - was incredibly warm, helpful, and quick to respond. Overall we had a wonderful experience and definitely wouldn't hesitate to rent with Heather again!"
8590445,50360409,2015-10-11,45104729,Gisela,"Heather made us feel welcomed. She had snacks for us and gave us a tour of the place. She was very helpful, and quick to respond if we had questions or needed to call/text. The place was cozy, clean and near restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay there again! "
8590445,51986156,2015-10-25,26637976,Kate,Heather was great! We reserved her space for our lovely wedding officiant and his fiance. They said that they felt so welcome and loved the space! Thank you Heather for offering an affordable spot on South Congress and for allowing me to host my dear friends there!
8590445,52375672,2015-10-28,9504525,David,Heather has a really nice apartment in a great location.  Everything was as described and very clean.  Wifi is available in the business center.  Laundry in the unit is a plus. She even left waters in the fridge for us!   
8590445,52505765,2015-10-30,1267755,Kimberly,"Heather met me within minutes of my texting her to let her know I arrived (early than I expected, too!) and offered thoughtful suggestions on things to do and places to eat in the neighborhood. She also left me some Halloween candy, which was quite a treat!"
8590445,52988721,2015-11-03,25104445,Roxana,We loved staying at Heather's place. The appartment is big and decorated with a lot of taste and vintage pieces of furniture from around the world. Great location with a lot of restaurants and bars nearby. Heather was a very welcoming and friendly host. Thanks!
2439970,10988235,2014-03-16,12572142,Regis,Everything is perfect.
3898107,18374290,2014-08-25,8609419,Rohit,Alexander was an awesome host. Unique home which reflects the personality of Austin. Very convenient location and great communication with the host. Alexander was there to answer any questions and was very reachable. Great amenities and a wonderful experience. 
3898107,18842767,2014-09-01,20291173,Cindy,"Alexander was very welcoming and was always prompt to answer any questions. I never met him in person, but the house has a key code to get in and out, which was perfect because we never had to worry about keeping track of keys. The location if the house was perfect, we took cabs all weekend. The house itself is well-represented in the pictures, I stayed with my boyfriend and another couple and it was perfect for us. The driveway is very steep, if you drive a car, just plan to park by the street all weekend. I would definitely stay at this airbnb again, I loved the house and the location. The only complaint I heard all weekend was that the house did not have wifi. "
3898107,18926109,2014-09-02,5344741,Andrew,My friends and I loved the space.  It was clear that Alexander had invested into the house as everything was well kept and updated.  We felt very welcome here; the neighborhood was pleasant.
3898107,19344735,2014-09-10,24480,Joshua,"I'm hoping Airbnb will allow me enough space to say all the things I wish about what an amazing host Alexander is, and how utterly perfect his space was for our needs. The house was immaculate, beyound spacious, with tons of natural light, the fluffiest towels EVER, beds so comfy it was hard to leave them, an attention to detail unrivaled, all in a location that was countryside quiet while being within walking distance to great tacos, coffee, and a ton of other great places. You can grab a bus and be downtown in 10 minutes. We found a Car2Go w/in 3 blocks several times. South Congress is close as well, and the area where the house is located in S. Austin is one of the last true old style Austin hoods. I would never even consider a hotel if his space was available during my next visit, and I have already raved about it to other friends with Austin in their travel plans. Book this NOW, you can thank me later."
3898107,19633106,2014-09-15,20732725,Ramiro,"The place was amazing. Neighborhood was nice quiet,  and conveniently close to downtown. I will definitely stay here again.  "
3898107,19717840,2014-09-16,6925050,Eduardo,"Alexander's bungalow was awesome. He took us in very short notice and had the place ready in no time. The place is located south of downtown  close to all the cool spots and with in walking distance to great coffee shops, restaurants, and nightlife. He took care of us with plenty of towels, very comfortable beds and even thought our time taking was brief I felt that his personality is all about the golden rule. Thank you Alexander!"
3898107,19895960,2014-09-20,1526284,Grace,"Super nice place! Booked 2 nights for my family coming to town for a bit last week. They loved it so we're staying 4 more nights next week. Alex responds really fast and makes sure you have everything you need. The place is in a great location, btw."
3898107,20047016,2014-09-22,20943547,Allison,My stay here was fantastic! I stayed here with a couple of my relatives for my birthday weekend. The home surpassed any expectations we had! Alexander was a great host and extremely hospitable. I highly recommend staying here! 
3898107,20527751,2014-09-30,1526284,Grace,"My parents and sister stayed here for 2 nights but they loved so we booked 4 more nights the next week. They were really impressed by how clean the place was, loved cooking in the kitchen (the place had everything - pots, pans, plates, utensils, spices, etc.), hanging out in the back yard, etc. Location is great, too. "
3898107,21766118,2014-10-23,6178628,Andrew,"The listing was  just like described. Big open living room with nice kitchen, great bamboo sitting area!, the house is on a steep hill, so if that is a concern be advised. I would not hesitate to recommend to all my friends and family!, thanks again!"
3898107,22318292,2014-11-03,17552071,Patrick,"The place was great.  Definitely had a weird bungalow feel to it, but it worked out really well for my group and we enjoyed our time there greatly.  "
3898107,22438802,2014-11-06,16526408,Sian," The Weird Bungalow was perfect. We were so happy to get there even tho we were a day late ! It was all Fine with Alex who was cool calm and friendly to us worn out Muzzos ! 
 The place was stocked well with what we needed,lovely towels ,and plenty of them, warm comfy beds and the king of all air beds ! 
 Our pianist Rob said it was the best tumble dryer he had ever used ! 
 It was a short walk to SoCo  shops and the continental club where we all learned to do the Texas 2Step!!! Thanks Alex the experience was mint xx"
3898107,22516256,2014-11-08,23292287,Delvin,"This was my first airbnb experience and it left a great lasting impression. The house was clean and trendy. The host left us tombstone pizza!

Good location. The property is about a 5-10 minute drive from Downtown Austin/6th street. 

This was a last minute rental as well due to another person falling through. The host was very responsible."
3898107,22695589,2014-11-12,12599801,Edythe,"Alexander provided a well-appointed, clean and comfortable home-away-from-home for us. It was exactly like the pictures and better in person. 
The kitchen had just what we needed for a couple light meals and drinks, and the shower and sink in the bathroom were lovely. As were the plenitude of fluffy, white towels.
We have friends in the neighborhood, which is terrific for walking, shopping and restaurants. It seems like it is still a part of ""weird"" Austin that actually exists.

My family and I enjoyed our stay very much, and would return if we need a comfy place to stay in Austin.
Thank you,
Edythe"
3898107,22962372,2014-11-18,6545909,Connie,"We had  a great stay at Austin Weird bungalow.   Temperatures dropped but it stayed nice and toasty inside.   Plenty of room for everyone.   Everyone enjoyed the shower with multiple heads. We all took nice long hot showers,  no problem with running out of hot water.   Would stay here again.   (the post from another reviewer about steep driveway is very true,  we parked in driveway at bottom and walked up).  Close to everything."
3898107,23193763,2014-11-24,22309200,Elise,"I booked this house for a last minute girls night with friends who were visiting from out of town. Everything worked out perfect! Loved the open flow from kitchen to living room- beds were comfy, amazing shower, etc! Alex was extremely accommodating and easy to contact. I hope to be back! "
3898107,23284387,2014-11-27,22892485,Rita,"My sister and her boys enjoyed their stay in this comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood.  The house was as pictured and the kitchen was well equipped for simple meal preparation.  Alexander was very accommodating and had an inflatable bed set up for one of my nephews so that they didn't have to share a bed.  I highly recommend Austin ""Weird"" Bungalow!!"
3898107,23389756,2014-11-30,23460049,Sue,"A perfect home for a stay in Austin!  Great location, a delightful, very comfortable, well equipped airbnb!  Host provided helfpful information and was available if we needed anything.  You will find, however, that there is nothing you will need - - we hope to stay there again."
3898107,23885295,2014-12-13,20686511,Paul,Very nice house. We enjoyed the back patio area.  Walled in by bamboo.  You forget downtown is only a few miles away.
3898107,23984489,2014-12-15,10042736,Daniel,"Our stay at the weird bungalow was a success. A couple hours after booking the home, Alexander confirmed our stay. The day of an hour before check-in, I texted him stating that we're nearby and he gave us the code in order to enter his place. The drive way looks daunting but my Hyundai Elantra had no trouble going up, just watch out for it to bottom out upon getting on top of the concrete slab. Just go slowly and tell your buddies to get out of the car before you make the ascent and you'll be fine. His home was very welcoming and clean. Plenty of space for 4 people to stay comfortably. The TV had Roku which was nice for some late night Marco Polo on Netflix. The queen beds were comfortable and clean. He had extra sheets and an inflatable mattress available as well. The fancy shower was great, just watch out for the sliding glass door, its heavy. I just left it slightly open and no water came out. His kitchen everything you needed to entertain us. He even left some frozen pizzas in the freezer that we took advantage of. His bamboo garden was very nice and maintained well. Real peaceful back there. Wish we spent more time here, I would've used the backyard a bit more. Overall I had a great time there, and I'll definitely come back with some friends in the near future."
3898107,24200503,2014-12-22,23460049,Sue,"Our second stay here and certainly not our last.  Always comfortable, clean, and just the right size!  The host always makes contact with us as we arrive and in the midst of our stay, checking to see how things are going.   In addition, the location is good for our family.  "
3898107,24396478,2014-12-27,7659053,Vipin,I enjoyed my stay at Alexander's. I was looking for a quiet neighborhood close to all the cool stuff in South Austin. Got what I wanted. Alexander was also cordial and great about a reservation gaffe I made. I'll definitely be back. Thanks. 
3898107,24436870,2014-12-28,24629327,Linda,"This is a very charming place.  The house is open and has a very contemporary feel, but warm and inviting.  The beds were comfortable and I slept very well (that is not the usual for me when I travel), so I was very happy!  The neighborhood is quiet, but very well located to quickly go where you are headed.  I would stay here and recommend this bungalow to my friends.  It was easy to find and easy to access.  It was a rainy weekend in Austin, so I didn't get to enjoy the backyard, but it looks like a fun retreat.  "
3898107,24712872,2015-01-02,5693724,Alex & Hilary,"Everything about this property and stay were amazing. The location is wonderful. The price is right. The property is great - clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive and polite. We look forward to returning to Austin so we can take advantage of the wonderful backyard this property has to offer. You should not hesitate to stay at the Austin ""Weird"" Bungalow!"
3898107,24904503,2015-01-03,21234034,Phil,"The ""Bungalow"" was amazing!  Location, vibe, comfort were all exactly as described.  I would totally stay there again!!"
3898107,25065885,2015-01-05,16401657,Ingrid,"The Austin ""weird"" bungalow was fantastic! The house was VERY clean and well maintained. The rain shower was great too! It had everything you could possibly need for a mini vacation. One thing to keep in mind is bring bottles water because the fridge doesn't have a water dispenser. It's about a $7-$20 Uber ride into downtown and conveniently located close to tons of great food trucks! I will definitely be back! "
3898107,25326929,2015-01-12,24677545,Richard,"The description and the actualization of the house were both awesome!  Alex (The Host) was very accommodating and very welcoming.  The Neighborhood is very nice as well, it was relatively quiet, comfy and beautifully ""weird""."
3898107,25487618,2015-01-17,2139993,Andrea,Such a great place to stay! I really enjoyed Alex's house. It was clean and comfortable and so nicely decorated. A superior airbnb experience. I hope to stay there again. Highly recommended!!

3898107,25748645,2015-01-25,39040,Nathan,"Alexander's bungalow is even cuter than the pics! Brightly colored dinosaurs with cacti and various Austin art added an extra touch to the already awesome decor. The *perfect* place for my consort and I to spend our last 3 nights in Austin (and would have been plenty big for 2 couples). Parking on the street out front was very convenient, as was the state of the art laundry. Alexander's thought of (and provided!) everything. Rain during our stay meant we couldn't enjoy the brightly appointed back yard as much as we'd have liked, but it was still gorgeous (sans pool - looks like it was being replaced). What more could you ask for than a T-rex in the bamboo and giant lit-up rooster behind your *very own private bungalow*?? Coming home to Alexander's place each night made us *very happy.* Thanks so much!"
3898107,25822883,2015-01-26,426920,Daniel,"I've stayed at several AirBNBs with family and friends in the past, and this is by far the best one yet.

Great location, loved the atmosphere in the back yard, very comfortable and clean.

Definitely staying here my next trip to Austin."
3898107,26054787,2015-02-02,2888630,Carlos,"We had an amazing stay in the weird bungalow. The place was just as the pictures, with all the amenities that you would need and very clean. 
Alexander gave me great tips to do in the city.
Highly recommended if you want to explore Austin for a few days. "
3898107,26365932,2015-02-10,8332715,Christopher,"Alexander's place was perfect for our three day vacation in Austin. Upon arrival the house was very clean and had wonderful charm. Quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors and a nice view of the skyline a short walk up the street. Lots of places within walking distance to grab drinks or food. Not far from south congress or a quick cab downtown. Alexander was quick to respond to any questions but was far from nosey. Great back patio area with a bamboo Forrest that lights up at night. I would highly recommend staying here if your going to Austin, you won't be disappointed!"
3898107,26741339,2015-02-18,6868360,Mikhael,We stayed here on our first trip to Austin.  The house is in the perfect location for access to South Congress -- make sure to visit the Continental Club!  Downtown is a short Uber ride away.  The host was very helpful and responsive.  Unfortunately the weather wasn't cooperating so we didn't get to use the back yard much.  Would definitely stay here again on our next trip!
3898107,26849456,2015-02-20,13127856,Jacquelien,"We had an excellent stay in your home. Everything was super clean and well arranged. We felt at home immediately. So much more extras we didn't expect. The location was also great, although getting onto the driveway was quite a challenge. "
3898107,27102122,2015-02-25,10910296,Debra,"Staying at Alexander's bungalow was exactly the right choice for us. His place is clean and well appointed. I felt at home immediately, for everything looks just as it does in his photos.  We slept soundly in the comfortable beds, much appreciated after a long day of seeing the sights in Austin and surrounding areas.  We puttered around in the kitchen, making coffee and cocktails and food with the local ingredients.  A cold spell prevented us from taking full advantage of the delightful outdoor seating areas; nonetheless, we did get one glorious afternoon to sit in the bamboo grove with the t-rex sculpture peeking over our shoulders.  And the multi-head rain shower: a temple of refreshment and renewal!  Close by we found Summer Moon, a fantastic coffee shop where the coffee beans have all been wood-fire roasted. Try the lattes with ""moon milk,"" a sweet indulgence made with secret ingredients such as ""unicorn sprinkles""--or so they say. Should we ever return to Austin, we would choose this place without question. Thank you, Alexander!"
3898107,27343183,2015-03-02,17894338,Denny,"The Austin ""Weird"" Bungalow was great!  It was nice and eclectic with a nice weird charm!  we really enjoy the house and the back yard bamboo hang out area.  Alexander was very responsive and was willing to give us recommendations.  Overall the place was great!   "
3898107,27722924,2015-03-10,3480981,Laura,"We couldn't have asked for better accommodations while we were in Austin! The Bungalow was absolutely amazing and fit our needs perfectly. The location is close enough to downtown and other cool neighborhoods that it didn't feel like a hassle to get places (we did have a car--Austin's not really a ""walkable"" city IMO) Parking was right outside. The house itself was clean, well decorated, and well stocked with toiletries and little bonuses (tea, random snacks, etc). The back patio was awesome and would've been a great place to hang out had it not been raining. Check in and out went seamlessly. No complaints from any of us. Everything was super clear with the handbook the host left us. If you come to Austin you should 100% stay here. It was my favorite AirBNB accommodation so far!"
3898107,28280249,2015-03-21,11721977,Madeleine,We had a wonderful stay at the Austin Weird Bungalow! The house and backyard are lovely and everything was super convenient and easy. I would definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin and recommend it to all of my friends!

3898107,29302740,2015-04-06,28923261,Rory,"We had such a great experience at the ""Weird"" Bungalow! Our host left detailed information about the house - all possible questions answered preemptively. The house was comfortable and clean, with a great back patio perfect for morning coffee or afternoon beer. We didn't get the chance to explore the neighborhood as much as we would have liked, but saw great shopping and eating within walking distance. We would absolutely come back to the wonderful little bungalow. Wonderful first Airbnb experience. Thank you, Alexander. "
3898107,29772069,2015-04-12,26029087,Michael,"Place was great! Such an amazing location - could walk to a couple parks - and the price was really affordable. The shower was definitely awesome, and the place felt very cozy. Thank you so much!"

Alexander made sure we knew how to contact him with any questions or concerns, and we appreciated his efforts as this was our first experience with air b&b. We would definitely book this house again for our next trip."
3898107,31018435,2015-04-30,27173960,Chloe,"The house was amazing - even better than the pictures. Alexander was great and text back straight away with problem solving tips! I
Would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin - give this guy your money :)"
3898107,31127366,2015-05-02,22461748,Dana,"Alex was a great host! He's quick to respond and was helpful with dinner suggestions and things to do around Austin.
The house was very clean and easy to navigate. The quirkiness throughout the house were great! We loved cooking in the kitchen and relaxing in the backyard. The house is a walk or short drive to so much!
We had an amazing time and would most definitely stay again! "
3898107,31795390,2015-05-10,14385598,David,"Loved staying at the Bungalow. Alex was a swift communicator,  and gave clear instructions on accessing the property and surrounding area. Home is in a great little neighborhood, super quick to get over on South Congress, 1st,  or Lamar Blvd.  Home is comfortable and chic, and we enjoyed a few evenings grabbing some takeout and relaxing there.

Thanks for the stay, 

David"
3898107,32075932,2015-05-13,4855842,Linda,Great place! 
3898107,32215189,2015-05-15,3653598,Jae,"Pictures did not do the place justice.  We loved our stay in the bungalow.  Alexander was very welcoming with minimal contact.  Just enough and he made himself available for any questions.  The Bungalow is well appointed, it is obvious that our host wanted us to enjoy our stay.  I would definitely recommend the Bungalow to family or friend as well as the neighborhood is very hip.  Enjoy.

3898107,32455680,2015-05-18,26818273,Tony,"House was everything we wanted - clean, spacious, comfortable.  Owner was very accommodating. Backyard was a treat. My highest recommendation for anyone traveling to Austin.  "
3898107,32942989,2015-05-23,13392637,Ahmed,"I stayed at Alex's place when in town for graduation. The place was very clean, and the stay was amazing. He's made sure to provide everything in the house for the guest, including a few board games. "
3898107,35045764,2015-06-14,35505868,Kari,"As soon as we arrived, we felt like we were at home!  The place is just as pictured, if not nicer. Alex has thought of everything and has gone above and beyond to make his guests feel welcomed. There were plenty of fresh towels, a very clean and comfortable home, an awesome updated bathroom with jets in the shower, and a binder full of information about the Austin area.  The house was charming and in a nice, quiet neighborhood a hop, skip, and a jump from Congress Street.  This was my first time using airbnb and it definitely won't be my last...Alex has made me a believer!"
3898107,35619708,2015-06-20,12934893,Jennifer,I arrived and was pleasantly greater with a notebook of all the answers to my questions as well as a fridge and freezer with all kinds of treats.  The house was just as described and I felt right at home.  I will come back!!
3898107,38677463,2015-07-17,1864590,Annalee,"Alexander's place is cute, quaint and welcoming. Located in a great location you feel like you are in your own little Austin Oasis. 

The icing on the cake is his wonderful housekeeper. She was welcoming when we needed to drop off our items earlier than check in. Handled a few requests we had after we returned and was very diligent to follow up and make sure we were the most comfortable we could possibly be. 

If you are looking for a great place to call home when in Austin we would highly recommend the ""Weird"" Bungalow!"
3898107,39093475,2015-07-20,38037011,Chase,It was perfect. Everything was in order just like it was expected to be.

I was very grateful for the laundry room and my teenagers were very grateful for the tv and wi-fi. I would recommend this awesome house to everyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!"
3898107,45977454,2015-09-07,4932882,Cory,"It was a very comfortable stay, and a great home base for exploring Austin. The keyless entry was a very nice feature of the house, and we really appreciated the coffee grounds and coffee maker. "
3898107,49830720,2015-10-06,7215257,Matthew,Exactly as I hoped for. Quiet and clean. The property is as pictured. The car port is small but fits even a large SUV.
3898107,50536484,2015-10-12,3342570,Carrie,"A really well appointed bungalow in a great location.  I loved staying here and made the most of being able to walk to so many great bars, restaurants, shops and parks.  Austin's a really dog friendly city and this bungalow was great for my dog too."
3898107,51080169,2015-10-17,298268,Kirk,"Great house in a calming grove of bamboo. Kitchen is terrific for cooking - 6 burner gas.

3898107,51342370,2015-10-19,40223109,Brandon,The check in process was very easy and Alexander accommodated our early arrival before listed check in. The door has a keypad lock so it was not necessary for Alexander to be present. The house is in an excellent location very close to South Congress. An excellent stay!

5354907,28320241,2015-03-22,27542969,Jarbas,"What can i say about Nathan & Julie? The house is exactly as shown. Everything is clean: the towels, sheet, bed, bathroom, the hole house! The neighbourhood is safety although some crazy ones leaves the car unlocked. Don't do that! Always double check the main door and your car. You have easy access to downtown by bus. But Nathan and Julie goes beyond good accommodation. They prepared an typical american breakfast for me and even drove me to the airport. How nice is that? For me, cities are made of people and Nathan and Julie made me feel how Austin is great!"

The private room's bed is very comfortable for a good night's rest!"

The accommodations were exactly what I needed for my visit, a clean, quiet, peaceful place to lay my head after the day's business.  "
5354907,36928109,2015-07-02,7505956,Karl,Nathan and Julie were such a great host. They welcomed us right into their lovely home. This was the first time I really interacted with the host after using AirBnB several times and me and my wife felt right at home. The room and the home was very well kept and it's in a great location close the South Congress and Downtown. Me and my wife really got more than we expected and I'm glad we picked Nathan's and Julie's place.
5354907,39126991,2015-07-20,31875768,Laney,Nathan & Julia were both great hosts! They gave very thorough instructions on how to use the home. It was incredibly clean and felt very comfortable. Both very lovely people. Stay here if you can!

Before arriving at the house, they gave details on all the expectations and made it very easy to arrive at a time that was convenient for me. Their home is clean and very nicely decorated. They allowed me to use their washer and dryer to do laundry. Overall, it was a wonderful experience staying there. I would recommend anyone to stay there and I would stay there again if I had the opportunity!"
5354907,40298339,2015-07-29,34758776,Amir,Nathan was very friendly and the room was spacious and clean. The bed was super comfortable! The house is located on a quite street near an elementary school which made for safe street parking. Our only issue during our stay was the fact that there was a dog barking...all night.
5354907,41659476,2015-08-08,36996124,Amanda,Nathan & Julie were great hosts. Their home was clean and tidy and the space was comfortable! The private room was very comfortable and I also felt at-home utilizing the common areas of their house.

5354907,48225572,2015-09-24,33015520,Sian,"Great room, great area. Bus stop was two minute walk if that around the corner with regular buses. Walmart is about 25minute walk with some great restaurants around especially the steak house. Nathan and Julie are cool people, had some lovely evening chats and we were able to extend a night. Great dogs too! "

5354907,49390065,2015-10-03,45084048,Y-Vi,"My stay with Julie and Nathan was very comfortable and homey. It was really like a home away from home. They are very friendly and personable. I love that there was no need for a key and so going in and out of the house was very easy. It is a big plus to be able to have coffee in the morning too! The only thing I would probably say is necessary is probably a roller to get the dog hair off my clothes from their cute dogs, cookie and mila."
5354907,49812486,2015-10-06,1624756,Stephanie,"We had a fantastic experience at Nathan and Julie's home. They have a passcode entry system, so there is no fuss with keys. They have two adorable dogs who seem tough at first, but really are just two cuddle bugs. We stayed with Nathan and Julie for three days while we attended Austin City Limits. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood and is close to the metro bus, which was a super convenient way to get around. The room was cozy and the bed was super comfortable. We shared a bathroom with our hosts, but this was never an issue, as they were always up super early and out the door. We enjoyed our stay in their home and would recommend it to others looking for an affordable, comfortable space while visiting Austin. "
5354907,50824705,2015-10-14,3342114,Jami And Joe,"The room is exactly as described. It's very clean and the bed was really comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. Plus, their two dogs are really cute."

5354907,51516696,2015-10-20,31672434,Susan,"Nathan and Julie were warm and welcoming, even with a last-minute booking. I actually arrived when they were not home but the entry instructions were clear and I got into the house without a problem! The room is exactly as pictured. And I agree with the comments regarding the decor of the house. It's very tasteful, clean, and cozy. I enjoyed my stay!"
1275511,27972925,2015-03-15,27662806,Leon,We really liked James and David's house. James was very accommodating to our schedule fluctuations.  We enjoyed our morning conversation over coffee and pastries. It is a very unusual neighborhood where all the houses are very energy efficient and water efficient. 
1275511,30849868,2015-04-27,13775660,Jorge,"James provided us with a beautiful home, with a lot of style and colors! The rooms were just as described. The neighborhood was quiet  and appealing, it was just about a 15 minute drive to downtown and the city attractions. James was not home during the weekend, but never hesitated to answer any questions we had for him. I highly recommend this home to future travelers, We will book again! "
1275511,30913908,2015-04-28,31887431,Meribet,"It was great staying at Mr. James, I  recommend it if ever need to stay in Austin and is very close to downtown. Neighborhood was very quiet!"
1275511,37375630,2015-07-06,36215525,Kang-Lin,"We had a great experience in this house with awesome design. Also, house holders are very generous and considerate for guests. If you want to have a high quality vocation in Austin, I am very recommend to you to rent this house. "
5326809,26727410,2015-02-17,2769916,Chuck,"Joe is a great host. He was very friendly, helpful and has a great knowledge of the city.

The loft was very clean and everything was top-notch. It is walking distance to everything downtown has to offer. The rooftop is a great place to chill with some wine and take in the city views."
5326809,28090864,2015-03-17,26186634,Joanna,"Joe and Stephanie were extremely flexible and accommodating to my ever changing flight schedules. The loft was clean, welcoming, and everything it looked like it would be based on the pictures. What impressed me most were the more subtle touches of hospitality (extra android and iphone chargers, chromecast, comprehensive instructions, snacks, and more). They're also in an amazing location. All in all, they were great hosts and extremely responsive. "
5326809,52049845,2015-10-26,5133042,Chris,"Joe and Stephanie provided an incredible apartment for our wonderful visit to Austin for the Formula 1 race. The apartment looks even better than the pictures- rustic style, unique pieces, and incredibly clean! The location cannot be better- we walked everywhere. Joe and Stephanie were flexible with our arrival time and departure time, and went out of there way to accommodate us. They get 10 out of 10 for their hospitality. We will be back and definitely stay here again. Cheers to Joe and Steph! "
6871254,37394240,2015-07-06,36729904,Harrison,"The best word to describe this experience is AWESOME! Rebecca was so easy to deal with. She was readily available once I got to the location to ensure I got settled in smoothly. There wasn't a single time I text or called her and she didn't respond right away. 

And the apartment is so cool! It has a great view with giant windows overlooking the Colorado River, a large bathroom and a comfortable bed. 

Parking is under the building and is super easy to get in and out of. It's about a two minute walk to Sixth Street, which is the most important thing. Actually, by car it's really close to a lot of the Austin highlights. 

This was my first Airbnb experience but won't be my last. I don't know why people would stay in a hotel with this service. I'm definitely staying here the next time I'm in Austin!"
6871254,38195979,2015-07-13,24207234,Mitchel,Wonderful experience. Rebecca was incredibly helpful and accommodating. Will absolutely rent again when back in Austin. 
6871254,40822413,2015-08-02,2849993,Andrea,"Rebecca and Mathews's place was awesome! Location was amazing, the apartment was super comfortable and clean. The parking and access to the pool is unbeatable. We'll definitely book here again in the future!"
6871254,41134900,2015-08-04,25116533,Marlon,"This comfortable and stylish condo has an AMAZING view!  Rebecca was a very friendly and welcoming host.  The condo doesn't have a ""vacation-home"" feel (she's graciously offering up her home to the Airbnb community), so it's well appointed.  The parking garage was a little tricky and there's no assigned parking (but it was manageable and there was always an available spot).  I highly recommend Rebecca and her lovely home."

Furthermore, the location is in the best part of Austin. Aside from the place itself, Rebecca was extremely helpful and responsive. She gave excellent instructions before and during our stay. She also gave us some great recommendations on where to go eat and what to do while in Austin."
6871254,43571076,2015-08-20,39283364,Joe,We had a great time. Rebecca made it as easy as possible to get checked in. The view could not be beat and there was so much in walking distance.
6871254,46917657,2015-09-14,5327132,Daniel,"Great location, amazing view and beautiful apartment. Highly recommendable."
2210796,28213491,2015-03-20,7281999,Daron,"I had never used AirBnb before this trip. Plenty of my friends had and had told me of their many great experiences but I hadn't any experience myself so I was a little apprehensive. That all went away upon my arrival in Austin and met Jean. She is an absolutely awesome individual and her place was amazing! It was better than any hotel/motel I could have chosen! Comfy, convenient, friendly and attentive! I am VERY happy with my experience and wholeheartedly recommend if you are looking for a great AirBnb experience while in Austin to choose here!!"
2210796,28490820,2015-03-24,28982717,Tiffanie,Jean was very welcoming and easygoing. The accommodations were pleasant and clean- highly recommended!
2210796,29802102,2015-04-12,25823860,Carl,"First time using AirBnB and it was as great I've heard.  I was able to book just 2 days before my stay.  Host was quick to contact me and had great communication.  
Very nice gated neighborhood.  Keypad lock on door was very convenient for entering/exiting the house.  House was very clean.  Private bathroom had everything and more, just in case we forgot anything.  
Host was very nice and made sure that we were comfortable and knew where everything was, and offered us water bottles!"
2210796,29892710,2015-04-13,25996566,Tiffani,"This was my first time using Airbnb, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but Jean was an incredibly pleasant and accommodating host. The space was clean and elegant, and the room was comfortable, and the location is great! She also has two adorable little dogs and was even able to accommodate our small dog when we ended up in an unexpected pinch because no one was able to watch her, and the event wouldn't let her in. Total lifesaver, gracious host, and great place- I'd definitely recommend staying with Jean if you end up in Austin. Thanks for the lovely time! "
1714494,8107017,2013-10-15,9354565,Katie,"For my boyfriend's 30th birthday, we planned a trip to Austin for the ACL festival. We couldn't get a hotel last minute, but Cayce was able to help us out very quickly. He responded to my inquiry quickly and was flexible with our schedule of arrival/departure. He was also very helpful in giving us tips on things to do around Austin. "
1714494,10709656,2014-03-03,1813434,Brandon,Cayce helped my wife and I out very last minute in Austin. He was very informative about the local scene!
1714494,11001575,2014-03-17,2424858,Ash,Not only was Casey the sweetest host BUT this guest house was the perfect fit for me during SXSW. The place had more than I would ever need for SXSW and was walking distance to restaurants/bars and my favorite -- Hot Mama's cafe. The house is on a quiet street and I felt right at home :) 
1714494,11642598,2014-04-10,13044689,Dave,"I loved my stay at The Guest House!  It was the perfect place to stay in Austin.....so close to everything that the city has to offer.  Cayce and his girlfriend are very cool people.  You really couldn't ask for a better host!  I would definitely recommend staying at The Guest House to anyone visiting Austin, for either short or long term!  Thanks Cayce!!!!!!
"
1714494,22519636,2014-11-09,19251980,Scott,"The listing of a tiny house to stay at while visiting Austin, didn't do justice to the great environment and eclectic neighborhood that surrounds you.  You are literally minutes from anything Austin has to offer.  Cayce is an amazing host, he even provided me with a suit when I was in a bit of a time crunch to buy one!!"
1714494,28169187,2015-03-19,27524919,Camila,"The Guest House was a perfect accommodation during SXSW. It is a very cozy place and it felt a lot like home.
I had no trouble whatsoever with my stay and Cayce made sure to make me feel welcome all the time, besides not being in Austin.
 "
1714494,31956015,2015-05-12,23127516,Andrew,"Cayce was a great host. He made sure to come by to introduce himself and was very attentive to anything I needed, including putting in an outdoor seating area after I mentioned it would be great to have a place to sit out in the sunshine. The house is fairly basic but has everything one would need and is in a great location in East Austin. I stayed here for a month and didn't have any complaints. "
1714494,39172807,2015-07-21,33125146,April,"We did not meet Cayce during our 5 week stay at the guest house, but he gave us very thorough check-in information before arrival. The pictures posted in the listing don't show the exact entrance of the guest house, but rather the other side of the house. There are 4 rentals on one lot, which makes parking a little crowded when all are occupied. The guest house has everything needed for a stay and the full kitchen is a huge plus. The location is also perfect for any Austin activity. The neighborhood (in east Austin) is up and coming, with brand new houses mixed in with very old rundown homes. As a female, I did not feel comfortable walking around alone at night, but during the day is just fine. We had a little trouble with the AC and Internet during our stay, but Cayce did his best to fix those issues right away. Overall, I would recommend this listing for the price!"
1714494,50171452,2015-10-10,6188100,Tony,Cayce was a great host. Super helpful on recommendations. The apartment was perfect for 2 people and in a great location.
1972028,9847514,2014-01-13,5055260,Teresa,The reservation was canceled 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1972028,10093143,2014-01-30,2789255,Jose,"Jason was a great host during our stay in Austin. It's a great location just a couple of minutes from downtown. Highlights included HBO, a Nest thermometer, and a great wifi connection. 

The location is exactly as pictured and stocked with all the essentials. Our vacation ended up during the coldest spell in years, but the place was always toasty and the neighbors were pleasant. 

When you stay here, make sure you get some of the best food around. Rudy's BBQ and happy hour at UCHI. 

Great experience and highly recommended. "
1972028,10166840,2014-02-03,3643987,Dahlia,"Had a great weekend at Jason's place. It's pretty large and provided enough room for all 5 of us. Jason was also pretty easy to get in touch with for questions. He had some waters, snacks, and condiments in the kitchen for us. Great location; a few minutes from I-35 so doesn't take long to get anywhere.
An FYI if you're not a cat person - there were a couple of cats around the complex but they were harmless."
1972028,10264827,2014-02-10,5009418,Kenan,"Jason's place is exactly how it looks in the pics and he is very good with communicating with you. This was my first time in Austin and the location is great.  If you're looking to see the sights and get around without a car I recommend checking out Rocket Electric bike rentals down the street. Regarding BBQ, expect to wait at least an hour for good spots and even longer for the best because they sell out. "
1972028,10424709,2014-02-18,2232215,Orla,Jason's condo was great. It's exactly as pictured and in a convenient location. Jason was communicative and provided lots of useful info. I would definitely stay there again! 
1972028,10725446,2014-03-04,12160360,Michael,"Jason's place was perfect. Three of us stayed in the place, and there was more than enough room. The condo was clean, nicely decorated, and stocked with coffee and some snacks. 

While you can't exactly step out the door and into the heart of Austin, the bus stop is a five minute walk away. We used the bus and taxis to get around, and it wasn't a problem at all. 

I strongly recommend this place. We had a great experience. "
1972028,11178744,2014-03-24,221358,Joann,"Great place to stay, everything was just like in the pictures. Jason was easy to get a hold of, provided all the info we needed, and gave lots of good recommendations on things to see/do. The condo was very clean and in a convenient location. Highly recommend you stay here!"
1972028,11361053,2014-03-31,1826752,Sarah,"Jason was a wonderful host to work with.  His communication with us and coordinating of logistics were amazing.  We had made a minor mistake - misreading the check out time - but Jason was very understanding and accommodating. 

The apartment was gorgeous, clean and comfortable!  We had everything we needed and would certainly stay there again.  Location is GREAT - only 5 minute cab right to south congress and 10 mins to downtown Austin.    "
1972028,11613519,2014-04-09,11982186,Alana,Jason's condo was a fabulous home base for out ladies weekend in Austin. He was a fantastic host and we found everything in the apartment as described. We were able to explore the city quite easily as the condo is very close to everything. I would recommend renting a car for the stay since there is a bit of a hill to get from the main road to the apartment. It would be a schlep with your bags. Would definitely stay again!
1972028,11796891,2014-04-15,8388138,Nathalie,"We had a very nice stay at Jason's place during 2014 Paleo Fx conference! The condo was clean, comfortable and tastefully remodeled. It was very convenient to downtown and the Palmer Center. Jason was very responsive and easy to deal with. We'll be back next year!"
1972028,12299699,2014-04-28,3148495,Kelly,Condo was exactly as described.  We were able to fit 6 comfortably.  The host was very accommodating and responds quickly to questions.  Location was convenient and roughly 10 min away downtown.
1972028,12608926,2014-05-06,12254899,Simon,"Our stay at Jason's was great! As a five-person group it was exactly what we were looking for, coming to Austin to enjoy Austin Psych Fest from South Africa together. It's clean, private and has everything you need! It is very centrally located with easy to access to South Congress and the downtown area. Every time we had a question Jason was super responsive, helpful and friendly. I would certainly recommend it!"
1972028,13031178,2014-05-18,4018875,David,"The condo was great, plenty room for my wife and I in the bedroom, more room for my boys upstairs in the loft. Very well equipped kitchen, the balcony with table and chairs is nice. Parking was never a problem, close enough to downtown Austin, I rode my rental bike all over town. Thanks, Jason!"
1972028,13162071,2014-05-20,2100229,Matthew,"The condo is very clean and well maintained, it has a balcony and a nice vibe. The kitchen is stocked with cookware and dinnerware. It is super close to everything. It is less than a mile from all the shops on S. Congress and really close to the cool nightlife on E 6th. Jason responded quickly and was helpful in providing thorough directions to the condo and suggestions for exploring town. "
1972028,13485788,2014-05-28,15275395,Colin,"Jason's condo was wonderful! Great value for the price considering how much room there is to sleep a group of people. Although the living room is small, so if you had a large group here there's not a lot of room to hang out - but hey, you're here to see the city or an event anyway, right? The place is very well kept, clean, and upgraded with many new amenities (I just moved into a ""fixer"" so coming home after our trip was actually a bit depressing!). Jason was very easy to get in touch with, very accommodating and friendly.

Overall we were very impressed and had zero complaints, we'll definitely see if the condo is available next time we travel to Austin."
1972028,13924774,2014-06-08,3151428,Ricardo,"Nice apartment, 10 minutes from downtown. No issues at all de were very happy"
1972028,14069681,2014-06-10,8509939,Marius,"We stayed in this apartment during one weekend. The apartment is awesome. Super clean and everything looks like new. Very cosy. 

When I will go to Austin again, this is the first place I will try to book."
1972028,14672323,2014-06-23,6997627,Michael,"One word: effortless. 

Everything you could need for a short stay. So close to Rainey and Sixth, terrific access to all highways and shops, beautifully decorated apartment. Towels, coffee and wifi all first class!"
1972028,15060640,2014-07-01,16543231,Katherine,"The apartment was just as described, in a convenient part of Austin.  It was clean and comfortable.  The keys were located where Jason had indicated they would be, so easy entry when we arrived."
1972028,15482566,2014-07-10,12244944,David,Check-in was quick and hassle free and everything was as expected. The place was clean and the neighborhood was nice and only about an 8 dollar taxi ride to the Austin convention center. Would love to book again next year!
1972028,17386117,2014-08-11,18840378,Ed,"Jason was very responsive and took good care of us.   We had an issue with the air conditioning not cooling.   Jason responded quickly and got an a/c guy to fix immediately (and quite expensively).

Location is awesome.  10 min to almost anywhere we wanted to go.   The suggested list of restaurants and places to visit from Jason was invaluable.   Overall, we had a great experience in Austin thanks to Jason."
1972028,18097370,2014-08-21,10514341,Manoli,"Jason was great and the apartment was very cute! Just a short drive from everything we wanted to see - Rainey St, 6th, Barton Springs, and more. The Buzz Mill (with in walking distance) was a great find for a drink and some music. Overall our stay in Austin was fantastic!"
1972028,18916282,2014-09-02,19404,Alex,"Great apartment with a cute circular stairway to the loft.  The apartment was spotless, had a great newer style kitchen and nice linens.  The Nest thermostat was super cool!  Jason is a great host and made my stay super easy."
1972028,19216701,2014-09-08,19905935,Soumya,It was awesome. The entry was trouble free. The neighborhood is great and calm. 
1972028,19576933,2014-09-14,18476785,Chris,"Would strongly recommend, 5-10 minute taxi journey into the locals pub/bars and restaurant. Supermarket at the end of the road. Would use again when in town.

Jason gives a lot of information on arrival on where to go which I found helpful!! "
1972028,19998984,2014-09-22,3103576,Kala,"Jason gave us a great welcome by making sure everything we needed was provided: directions to the condo, parking expectations, and what the house rules are, AND left quarters so we could wash the towels (since we were his first 1-week guests). He also gave us great ideas for places to eat and explore, which we did, and he was right! The place was ready for us, very clean, comfortable, easy to get to and from, and really nice accommodations. My husband kept raving about how comfortable the bed was, and I loved the ceiling fans. What I really appreciated most was Jason's communication. He kept us informed about everything, and that is the mark of a truly thoughtful host. One additional plus for this home is the location--it is so easy to get around town from Parker Lane that I would recommend it to anyone who wants to be centrally located in Austin. I plan to stay there again next year if it is available. Thanks."
1972028,20567526,2014-10-01,18520762,Jennifer,"This was the perfect little condo for me, my husband and 5 year old.  The upper loft area was a great retreat for our 5 year old.  Very clean, modern and cozy.  Located very close to everything so we never had to drive far.  Jason provided a great list of local attractions.  He was also very responsive to our e-mails and questions.  I would highly recommend."
1972028,21431649,2014-10-17,4070296,Vanessa,The condo is excellent. The owner was really flexible and easy to work with. Everyone was really happy with the place and had a wonderful time there and around Austin. The location is perfect for people who want to be close to the fun and excitement of the Austin night life. 
1972028,21682666,2014-10-21,17034783,Dallas,"We had a great stay at Jason's place. It had a great location, was very well decorated and packed full with nice amenities; everything down to the shower and appliances were high quality and much more than we were expecting.

Jason was instantly available whenever we needed him and he went above-and-beyond in letting us know the cool places around his apartment. We'll definitely stay here next time we're in town!"
1972028,22691610,2014-11-12,17168895,Ashley,"Jason ' s condo was great! Perfect for our weekend in Austin. Easy driving to some great places and walking distance to awesome breakfast tacos! 
Jason was extremely helpful. Texted him a few times during the trip and he always responded quickly. Gave great advice about where to eat breakfast tacos and bbq. Both were delicious. He checked in with us that first morning to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to swing by when we needed something."
1972028,23560933,2014-12-04,3303631,Fernanda,"Great place, loved it. I stayed with 3 more friends for four days, very cozy, clean, good taste. Quiet part of town, but close to the action by car. Jason was easy to reach, but I didn't need his help. I highly recommend. "
1972028,23764153,2014-12-09,1525382,El,"We had an incredible stay at Jason's apt. The space itself was very lovely, particularly the upstairs loft, and everything we could have asked for was already provided. Figuring out the door was a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, you're all good. As far as distance to everything, it was a joy to be so close to downtown as well as on the same side of the bridge as Zilker Park. Our stay in this apt definitely helped make our trip to Austin as exceptional as it was. Many thanks."
1972028,24521328,2014-12-30,7675465,Grace,"The place was as described. Big, spacious and clean. I liked the attic, it was a nice touch. Jason was a great host and was responsive to our needs. There were cleaning supplies and some basic food items available as well."
1972028,24739882,2015-01-02,3161321,Bree,"We enjoyed our stay at Jason's place. Convenient location to get around to all the different areas you'd want to see in Austin. The place itself was clean, well appointed and it was easy to check in and check out. Photos are true to the apartment. Thanks jason!"
1972028,26240394,2015-02-08,21722890,Jason,"Our stay was excellent! The condo was bright, clean, and well-styled. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. We appreciated the kitchen was stocked with a few snacks and staples. The upstairs loft was great, with a cool view of the city. We enjoyed a few dinners out on the deck. The complex itself was quiet and low key. The location is conveniently located, just a short drive to everything. Jason was a great host, very responsive and helpful."
1972028,26544619,2015-02-15,15031798,Annie,"Jason was very responsive and sent us a list of places to visit and recommendations the week leading up to our travels. He even sent us a text to make sure we got in okay. The place was very clean, well decorated and fit the description of the place. The bathroom and towels were of hotel quality. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin! Thank you for the fabulous stay and welcoming us! "
1972028,26741673,2015-02-18,26008414,Sarah,"Jason's place was great! He reached out and made sure we had all the info we needed. Neighborhood is very close to downtown and all the best eating and drinking. We rented a car, but be very easy to Uber or Lyft also. Place was great for 3 or 4 people - if you don't mind sharing a bathroom - it's a good shower.  We were in town to run the half marathon so appreciated the loft space for stretching and yoga. Also sat on the balcony and read one evening before going out."
1972028,26961766,2015-02-22,23075205,Chris,"Jason's place was exactly how it was described in the listing.  It was both easy to find and easy to access.  The location was just fantastic with close proximity to South Austin and the East-side of Downtown.  A colleague and I were in town for three days on business and it could not have been more convenient.  

Jason's loft was comfortable...one bedroom with a large comfortable bed...plus a spacious loft with two additional single beds.  I slept in the lift and found it quite cozy.

The bathroom was roomy and well equipped.

Jason is a very professional and attentive host.  His instructions were easy to follow.  His place was well equipped with lots of little conveniences.  The timing and frequency of his communications was ideal.    He was very helpful and attentive with a light personal touch...just perfect for an Airbnb experience.  

I will be traveling to Austin in the future and will plan to stay at Jason's loft whenever I m in town."
1972028,27388635,2015-03-03,12781589,Laura,"Really easy to book and communication was spot on. Felt at home in the house. Warm, had everything we needed. Close enough to the city you could walk but as it was super cold we ended up driving a bunch. Water, milk, butter and cereal were supplied which made our arrival easy. The lock system was easy to use and we felt very safe with it. It was great that you supplied info about place near by. Will be back to Austin and recommend this to friends."
1972028,27673892,2015-03-09,17577702,Ava,"Jason's condo was amazing. It is in a convenient and quiet neighborhood. He is such a great host providing everything from your essential cooking ingredients, sundries, and cleaning supplies. I highly recommend his home to anyone visiting the Austin area. Thanks for everything Jason! It was nice to meet you as well!"
1972028,28462458,2015-03-24,24973395,Danny,"Jason was a fantastic host. The property was super close to Rainey, downtown, and was perfect for what we needed it for. Highly recommended !"
1972028,28787703,2015-03-30,1443761,Julia,"Jason's condo was perfect for our group of four! We had everything we needed and more. Jason has oatmeal, coffee, and all kitchen essentials for you, as well as sunscreen and towels for trips to Barton Springs. The balcony is great for hanging out. Jason was very communicative and provided lots of details about the condo, the check-in/check-out process, and some great info on things to do and places to see around Austin. He even gifted our group a certificate to a bar/restaurant nearby that was awesome! We're really glad he suggested it. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short drive to everything. One of our group members had a small emergency and had to get a package delivered to the condo and Jason replied to my question immediately and we received the package without a problem. Overall our experience was excellent and we would definitely stay with Jason again."
1972028,29404466,2015-04-07,15138281,Margaret,"Very satisfactory accommodation 
Convenient 
Easy check in
Love Austin 
Thanks Jason!"
1972028,30447989,2015-04-22,11840318,Michael,"Jason was a great host. He provided thorough information as far as check in along with local places to eat, drink and explore. The condo was immaculate. Perfectly located and ample parking. A few hours after we arrived, we noticed we didn't have any toiletries. As if Jason had sensed our lack of supplies, I almost immediately got a text from him saying he forgot to restock and would be right over. That was super cool of him to make it right. I absolutely recommend staying here. "
1972028,30874656,2015-04-28,29048091,John,"Our stay at Jason's condo was wonderful!  The ease of creating our own lock combination for the front door was a great start and the space was perfect for our long weekend get-away.  We really appreciated the well stocked kitchen (dishes, cookware, non-stick spray, etc), and also the iron & ironing board.  The mattress & pillows were super comfortable and the ample closet space was a plus too. The location of the condo to downtown/South Congress was great - only a few minutes via car.  If we're ever back in Austin, we would definitely check to see if Jason had availability. "
1972028,31238614,2015-05-03,31540393,Alexia,"Very accurate listing, super clean space, very quiet neighborhood, vibrant and colorful view of downtown, abundant accessories in the kitchen for basic cooking, well controlled heat and air conditioning, easy key-less entry, and numerous available toiletries make this a great apartment to rent.  Jason provides detailed instructions beforehand on checking in, nearby attractions/shopping, and transportation.  We couldn't figure out why the kitchen sink wouldn't drain properly and Jason responded with incredible immediacy and was at the apartment within an hour to fix what was a deceptively simple problem.  Polite, responsive, and overall simple experience meant that we could enjoy our trip to Austin to its fullest.  Thank-you, Jason!

For those who might have ability/mobility questions: the road leading to the apartment is on an incline and there are parts where there is no sidewalk, it is a second floor walk-up and using spiral staircase can be a challenge even for a able-bodied person until you get used to it, spacious shower has a low lip for easy walk-in, but no grab bars in the shower or near the toilet.

Such a fun space, highly recommended!
"
1972028,31554377,2015-05-06,9236932,Rachel,"My husband and I stayed at Jason's condo last weekend.  The listing description is accurate. The neighborhood was great.  It had an interesting mix of new and established businesses on the closest main roads yet it is far enough from a busy street that it is quiet.  The condo is a quick 10 minute drive to the South Congress District, Downtown and the University of Texas.  Jason made us feel at home by sending an email with all of his recommended restaurants, shops and things to do in Austin a few days ahead of time and send another with details on accessing the unit and check in/check out instructions the night before arrival. The condo was clean, comfortable and as other reviewers said, recently remodeled with nice furnishings.  There is a very big closet to hang clothes and as promised a full kitchen and dining area.  Jason has copies of Austin guidebooks available and some other interesting reads if you have spare time.  We had no problems access the condo using the keypad on the door, the instructions sound a bit intimidating but it really is super easy.  The shower is outstanding.  If you are into ""street"" tacos, there is a food truck on East Riverside Dr (head north on Parker Ln, then turn right onto E Riverside Dr, off of Parker Ln) called ""Al Pastor"", that is amazing.  They have 4 1/2 stars on Yelp, so check them out.  There is also a sit down restaurant in the same shopping center but the food truck seems to have longer hours and stays open late.  We didn't use Uber on the trip but it would be a reasonable option to get around as all the estimates I received were about $10-12 each way.  We had a rental car and ended up driving, but had no problems with that.   SoCo is very busy and parking is limited but not impossible to find, the same goes for 6th Street.  We paid $10 for 10 hours of parking in a lot near 6th Street and the Visitor's Center and if you plan to visit the Capitol, the first 2 hours of parking are free in their visitor's garage.  The LBJ Presidential Library offered free parking.  Communication with Jason is easy and he replies very quickly.  We enjoyed our time in Austin and are grateful we stayed in Jason's place, which had all the comforts of home!"

His recommendations on things to do were really helpful, the place was clean, and the neighbourhood is a 6$ Uber ride from downtown. Totally recommend! "

Overall, this listing is in the perfect location and is close to everything you need in Austin, would definitely recommend :)"
1972028,33850298,2015-06-01,5468315,Mike,"This was exactly what we needed. The place was as pictured and very clean. Updated bathroom with a very comfortable bed in the master. We were in town for a long weekend to visit family. The east side of Austin is really taking off and this place is in a really good location. Easy access to SoCo, Barton Springs, UT campus and the new boardwalk on LadyBird Lake. Jason sent very clear directions and we didn't have any trouble finding it or getting in. It's a good value for the money."

1972028,36008189,2015-06-24,10664026,Kristin,"Listing description was accurate.  Close to Franklin BBQ...what more could you want?
Close to downtown too.
House was cozy and exactly like the pictures.
Jason was easy to contact, made check in easy and left great recommendations.
I would stay at his place again."
1972028,36743521,2015-06-30,34999882,Simon,"Jason's apartment in Austin was awesome. It was clean, had everything we needed, and all of his instructions and advice were super helpful! We didn't have any questions or complaints, but when we did contact Jason to let him know about our arrival and departure he was very prompt with his responses and offered to help us with our stay in any way we could. We would definitely recommend this spot to anyone traveling to Austin, as the location as well as the apartment itself are perfectly suitable to any sort of vacation or trip. Five stars!"
1972028,37493424,2015-07-07,30281550,Brian,"VERY VERY...VERY nice pad! anything and everything you'd look for in a condo is in here. I'd totally stay here again next time me and my friends make it down to Austin. We did have trouble locking the place when we checked out, so I gave the owner a call and he responded immediately and got everything taken care of. Jason was easy to get a hold of as well during the entire process. A++ on everything!"
1972028,38194515,2015-07-13,574869,Daniel,"Jason was such a great and responsive host. His place was even better than pictures and had lots of amenities that we took great advantage of. Is definitely recommend his property for its proximity to lots of major areas of attraction. A great host and a fabulous place, such a wonderful combination. "
1972028,39182629,2015-07-21,10779325,Rosie,Jason's place was amazing. Clean. Great location. Perfect!
1972028,40180644,2015-07-28,36457921,Iffat,Jason's Place was great. So cute and specious. More than enough towels for everyone. It was very clean. Jason was very easy to work with and allowed our privacy. Location is great too only a 5 dollar uber ride from downtown. My only dislike was that the neighbors made noise complaints. We had ask our local friends to meet us at Jason's apartment on the Friday night we were there. We were there for maybe a total of one hour from 10-11pm. Everyone was out the door by 11pm but we had a rude neighbor make nasty comments to us about waking people up even though we apologized. Maybe because I am from NYC I was not aware that people went to sleep before 11pm on a Friday night. 
1972028,40976733,2015-08-03,4456218,Tonya,Check in was super easy and Jason responded really quickly to both of my inquiries.  The place was spotless and the location gives easy access to just about anywhere you'd want to go in Austin.  
1972028,44035498,2015-08-23,40823722,Jorge,Instructions were very easy and the place was great! I had a business conference at the convention center and it was super easy to get Uber to and from the locations. I would definitely stay there again if I'm back in Austin! 
1972028,45398685,2015-09-02,12323180,Melissa & Steve,Jason was a great host and very responsive. The neighborhood was a perfect fit for us and his listing gave lots of great information about it and its proximity to South Congress etc. The spot was as pleasant as the photos and we were super comfortable. 
1972028,46265694,2015-09-09,11939586,Lindsay,"Pros: Lovely little place, great location, cool in the heat and perfect for what we wanted. Would recommend. Cons: Communication a little vague at times, don't know why. And could do with investing in new sheets, extra sheets/pillows and curtains that fit the windows.... Far too bright in the mornings. Didn't effect our stay, would stay again. "
1972028,47716039,2015-09-21,15646953,Susan,"It was a wonderful time at this Southshore condo! It was centrally located to everything we were going to. Great location and affordable! The condo is exactly as pictured, very cozy!"
1972028,49768806,2015-10-06,34678406,Zach,"Jason was extremely helpful and the house was exactly as described. We had an excellent vacation, which is in large part to having an excellent host and spot to stay. I would strongly recommend staying here!"
1972028,51271673,2015-10-19,19262203,Marissa,"Great location and access to my favorite places around town. The pictures are accurate representations of how lovely the place is. I enjoyed the natural light and openness of the whole condo. The loft was so cozy and bright. The shower was a glorious luxury. I also appreciated having access to wifi. I am grateful there was free parking and the neighborhood felt safe. If you have trouble with stairs, note that the condo is on the second floor and you have to use stairs to get there."
6570493,34506734,2015-06-08,218669,Nicole,"Chet was fantastic!  He came to meet us at midnight at the apt and gave us lots of good information about Austin.  He was super friendly, warm, and helpful.  The apt is perfect! It's a good size, adorable, very clean, and has a nice outdoor patio you can laze around on.  The shower is really nice too.  It's in a safe & pretty neighborhood which is a 10-minute walk from downtown.  It's around the corner from a great cafe (austin coffee) and a 15-min walk to a bike rental place (austin bikes). There is a queen bed and a twin bed which were both comfortable.  I am totally happy with the stay. I would definitely stay here again!  "
6570493,35713150,2015-06-21,34570799,Brian,"Chet was responsive and flexible as a host. He also kept the room stocked with tea, drinks, chocolate, snacks and flowers.  The room was tiny but enjoyable with very comfortable bedding, plenty of plush towels and washcloths, and plenty of hangars.  The shower is small but workable. The washer and dryer are super nice and large. He gave us a second key right away when we requested one. It's ten minutes from anywhere downtown or on UT campus. Recommended! "
6570493,36160841,2015-06-25,940654,Lauren,"My stay with Chet was just great, top to bottom! The space was wonderful and he was such a kind and attentive host, truly wanting to make my stay as comfortable as it could be. Attention to detail top notch: fresh flowers and cold drinks in the fridge!  Great communication, prompt replies. Will definitely stay again next time I am in Austin!"
6570493,36595795,2015-06-29,7430887,Allison,"Chet is an amazing host! I booked his apartment for my mom when she came to visit me. She and Chet spoke on the phone prior to her arrival. He stocked the room with snacks, coffee and tea, and my mom's special request for yogurt. The apartment was comfortable for my mom, and she was very happy with the whole experience (this was her first airbnb). Chet was extremely flexible, easygoing, and responsive."
6570493,37071047,2015-07-04,19475881,Elena,"Absolutely wonderful stay! Great host, incredibly nice and very accommodating. Beautiful apartment in a very quiet and convenient location! Would love to stay again if I go back to Austin!"
6570493,37259389,2015-07-05,25661278,Arman,"Great apartment, and great host. The apartment is beautiful and very serene. In a quiet neighborhood, 3 min drive to downtown. The bathroom is a bit small, but other than that there wasn't a single complaint. Chet stocks the room with snack and drinks. I highly recommend staying here.  "
6570493,38166376,2015-07-13,27992615,Eric,"This is an excellent place to stay! My wife & I were down for business and exploration and found this apartment to be absolutely perfect for our week in Austin. Really comfortable bed, nice patio, and a great little mini-kitchen set up, which was perfect for a quick morning breakfast. Chet was a wonderful host. Checked in often to see if there was anything we needed. We'd definitely stay here again when we come back! HIGHLY recommended."
6570493,38665736,2015-07-17,38122550,Peter,"Mahalo Chet,
for your hospitality. I am now in love with Austin and I’ll be back to stay with you again for sure. 
I really appreciated your concern for my needs as well as your humor mate.

The accommodations are really clean and quiet, on a nice street with plenty of on-street parking in a really nice neighborhood. Close to but not too close to main thoroughfares and Rt 35. Easy access to all the things I wanted to see and do in Austin.
Bagel place around the corner, REI and Wholefoods down the block; all with in walking distance.

Bed is soft and comfortable, plenty of hot water. Beverages, fridge, toaster, toaster oven, coffee maker, coffees, teas, cups plates forks knifes etc. Plenty of storage and luggage space, a desk for your work needs, cable TV and fast wifi.
The patio and outdoor spaces available are really tranquil but it is Austin in mid July so you might consider sitting outside later in the evening.

6570493,39234996,2015-07-21,38403426,Tanna,The perfect place! Very quite and cozy with a Zen twist. Very convenient to all you may need or want to do in Austin. Easy walk to Whole Foods and some great restaurants. Be sure and stroll around the neighborhood. The apartment was filled with fresh flowers and a stocked refrigerator with drinks. The apartment is as it looks in the pictures and really nice. Great for a couple or a single. Plenty of room and comfortable bed. I will be back! Great find!
6570493,39588234,2015-07-24,25586043,Kendall,The host was amazing! The place was very nice and outfitted with everything you need. Things were left out for the guest and it made the experience very nice. thanks Chet! 
6570493,39850020,2015-07-26,15281126,Jay,"Very friendly, lovely apartment and great value. Couldn't ask for more"
6570493,40051601,2015-07-27,18946256,Kristin,"Exactly as pictured! Cute, clean, quiet retreat after a busy family weekend. Chet was a great host- communicating quickly, offering us early and late accommodations for check in/out because he was able (big help for us!), and nice local recommendations! Can't wait to come back!"
6570493,40297924,2015-07-29,9175013,M,"I have stayed with Airbnb all over the world.. 

This place was just perfect, quiet and clean...the host has done a wonderful job on preparing such a nice place for guests. 
 A perfect spot in Austin..location was awesome and close to everything important.  The hosts did a nice job to check in with us,  to see if anything was needed. 
Would definitely stay here again !!!"
6570493,40519477,2015-07-31,16852724,Katharine,"What a great stay! This was in a great location: beautiful neighborhood, each house a unique architecture, lovely short walk to Austin Java, then down to the Hope Outdoor Gallery and The Book People.  It feels like your own private little secret home, with a shaded zen garden and outdoor seating (best early morning and evening this time of year, ha!). Chet's made sure of all the little details that make travel easy: extra power strips for electronics, lighting for reading in bed, fridge with drinks and snacks, extra things in a cabinet that you forgot to pack, a pile of guidebooks on the side table. And of course the main things: good window shades, great bed (like sleeping on a cloud), good water pressure, great air conditioning. Lots of hangers, closet space and drawers for a longer stay. Which we'd love to do next time!"
6570493,40805499,2015-08-02,8996656,Meghan,"We had a wonderful time staying in Chet's awesome rental! The space was exactly as described, and perfect for us - it served as a great home base in between all of our activities. The rental was within walking distance to downtown and many wonderful area restaurants. Chet was a fabulous host, providing us with water, pop, and snacks. Coordinating logistics with him was easy, as he was always proactive in providing details we needed and quick to answer any questions we had. I'd highly recommend staying at Chet's, and I would stay again if I ever find myself in Austin in the future! "
6570493,41478662,2015-08-07,22713839,Elizabeth,"Chet eras very agreeable to work with. He made himself available for any concerns we had however, we had none. The apartment was as described and in delightful order. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. Appreciated the quiet street and central location allowing us to have an am excursion, back for a quick rest and then out again for afternoon fun. Chet did allow our 5 year old despite 18 and over warning and this worked well w the daybed for a second sleeping area. "
6570493,41986686,2015-08-10,37606674,Kassius,"Chet was an unbelievable host and the unit was better than expected. Chet was in contact with us for our entire stay and even provided snacks and drinks! The wifi & cable/TV were easy to use and the AC and fans kept the unit cool. The neighborhood was very safe and quiet and close to restaurants, bars, and whole foods. The place was sparkling clean and ready before we arrived. I would highly recommend booking with Chet as the experience in Austin was improved greatly by having a relaxing and comfortable place to come back to after a day in the sun. "
6570493,42595201,2015-08-14,39557447,Cynthia,I so enjoyed my stay here! Nicely decorated apartment with comfy bed and pretty patio area. Chet was very welcoming and always quick to respond. Nice neighborhood very close to all kinds of great restaurants and stores. I highly recommend and have already booked my next stay!
6570493,42949848,2015-08-16,27188081,Ashlee,Great little room. Exactly what we needed for the weekend. Everything was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to a friend! 
6570493,43678277,2015-08-21,39557447,Cynthia,Another wonderful stay in this cozy apartment! Chet is a great host and the apartment is comfortable and very conveniently located.  It's very easy to walk to a lot of great places nearby but the neighborhood itself is quiet and peaceful.  I've had no issues during this nor my previous stay - the apartment is always sparkling clean and ready for me and very easy to find.  I highly recommend this apartment and I will be back soon.
6570493,44024951,2015-08-23,13972438,Katie,"Chet was extremely welcoming. He met us at the apartment as soon as we arrived. He was responsive, friendly - he even carried our bags for us. The apartment is just as it is pictured on the site. There is no kitchen, but a nice sized fridge stocked with waters to combat the Austin summer heat. The patio outside the apartment is adorable and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee out there. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Would absolutely stay at Chet's apartment again the next time we visit Austin!"
6570493,44958542,2015-08-30,26364209,Ellie,I had a fantastic stay at Chet's apartment!  It was very clean and had everything we needed for a weekend in Austin.  A short walk to the downtown area of Austin and very convenient. Chet was super helpful and so was his mother who lives upstairs.  The bed was super comfortable too!  I hope to return soon!
6570493,45594492,2015-09-04,39557447,Cynthia,"Another wonderful stay at this apartment.  I was in Austin for mostly work and enjoyed my third stay here.  I could either relax after a long day at work or get some more work done at the nice desk area or even sitting on the pretty patio right outside the door.  Chet is a great host and very much cares about his guests having an awesome experience.  Highly recommend this space for its convenient location, comfy accommodations and great host. Thanks Chet!!"
6570493,46135242,2015-09-08,11880902,Stephanie,"We had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here. Booking was a breeze and Chet is great about sharing details and easy to get ahold of. 

The apartment was as fully stocked as any hotel, and the AC works great (which I really appreciated, not being used the heat and humidity). The bed is super comfortable and the apartment was plenty big enough for the two of us. A couple of cafes and bars are within walking distance, and downtown/6th street/UT Austin are all less than a $10 Lyft ride away. 

Highly recommend this place, and would definitely book again if I come back to Austin!

"
6570493,47399297,2015-09-18,3078053,Doc,"This was a great AirBnB stay. I'll try to reserve it again for any future trips. I've never spent anytime in this part of Austin, so I was really pleased to see how many great things are right around it. (Be sure to check out the Hope Outdoor Gallery, which was just a few blocks away). 

The room was stocked with water and sodas, a washer/dryer, really comfortable AC, and even had a delicious chocolate bar waiting for me when I arrived. 

I usually keep to myself on travelling, but Chet made it clear that he was there if I ever needed anything. It was a great trip and a really neat neighborhood. "
6570493,47656866,2015-09-21,37420206,Elizabeth,Chet was a fabulous host! The location is ideal and the apartment was perfect.  Chet was always so quick to respond to any questions I had. He made us feel welcome. This was my first experience with AirBnB and I would give it a 10! Would absolutely book with Chet for any future trips to Austin. Thank you for making our trip memorable!
6570493,48121883,2015-09-23,20263351,Jennifer,"Lovely place to stay, highly recommended. 

We stayed for three nights while visiting Austin. The flat is very conveniently located, close to the CBD but in a quiet residential area. 

Chet was very helpful and accommodating in organising our stay, especially as we arrived late. He gave us some good local recommendations. 

The flat is lovely and is very well equipped with a/c, fridge, coffee machine, TV drinks and snacks. The sheets and towels are very good quality and clean. It was also very useful to have laundry facilities too. 

Chet was an ideal host, the studio suited us perfectly and exceeded our expectations. I would recommend it wholeheartedly. 

Alex & Jen"
6570493,48709478,2015-09-28,9151101,Iain,"My girlfriend and I stayed here in October 2015 and Chet was nothing short of an amazing host.

Great communication prior to us arriving and also the apartment was outstanding on our arrival. Air con was on and there were even sodas in the fridge, with it being over 90f outside, we were very grateful.

Lots of great information from Chet prior to arrival, we checked out on of the suggested restaurants and the food did not disappoint, I don't think you can get a bad restaurant in Austin.

The location is great for central Austin with 20 minute walk to Wholefoods/Capitol and 6th Street. Also you're looking at $4-7 on an Uber if you find yourself on the far side of 6th at the end of the night which is great. 

Really can't speak more highly of Chet or the apartment, great choice in my mind and I'd highly recommend."
6570493,49769087,2015-10-06,37284323,Justin,We had a great stay in Austin. Before we arrived Chet sent us a great list of thing to do in Austin. We had bought tickets for an event and Chet gladly printed them for us and dropped them off while we were out. We will definitely be back.
6570493,50057821,2015-10-08,22905161,Jeff,"Chet was very helpful and responsive in his replies. Place was wonderful and a great place to stay. They had a mini-fridge that was stocked with snacks, but just a heads up, there isn't a full kitchen here, which didn't impact me at all. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay here and would come back."

6570493,50437336,2015-10-12,37625914,Michael,"Wonderful stay in a perfect location.  Everything was easy access and close, but the neighborhood made it feel very private. 

Walked back from ACL, Uber everywhere else.  House had all the amenities and incredibly comfortable bed. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
6570493,50922381,2015-10-16,28416864,BertnLara,"Chet was extremely communicative and helpful as our trip approached - offering customized recommendations for our stay!  Upon arrival, the apartment felt clean and cozy - we loved the sheets and alternative down comforter so much that I wrote down the brand!  I highly recommend this stay!"
6570493,51121987,2015-10-18,13756372,Ali,"Chet was amazing. Very communicative prior to our stay and would answer immediately if we had any questions while we were there. The apartment is perfect, it really does have all you can need and the most amazing bed linens (so soft!). Great location on a quiet, cute street but still very close to amazing areas of Austin. I wish I could've stayed longer!"
6570493,51566415,2015-10-21,44756201,Courtney,Great spot very walkable location- low maintenance.  Everything that was needed was available. Thanks!
6570493,51704039,2015-10-24,1469186,Suzan,The place was just as described and perfect for my trip to Austin. Close enough to walk to the sites downtown but a bit away from the hub bub. It was such a serene relaxing location and the bed is perfection--maybe the best sleep I've ever had at an airbnb or hotel. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. I'd definitely stay here again!
6570493,52053094,2015-10-26,40960303,Kendra,"This was such a great apartment! It was comfortable and had everything we needed.

6570493,53044874,2015-11-04,22381368,Emily,"This place was a great location to everything downtown. I walked around from here. The place was clean and filled with tons of supplies such as shampoo, drinks, soap, snacks, coffee, etc. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the TV included tons of channels and options to use Netflix, HBOGO, etc. 

I could not have asked for a better place to stay and look forward to staying again!"

1462557,7627615,2013-09-27,8575599,Sadie,"This was a beautiful property in a lovely neighborhood not far from the city. The guest house was spacious, cute, and comfortable. We found the place clean, quiet, and private, and we had everything we needed, from fresh towels to cleaning supplies; there were even beverages in the fridge. We felt very much at home. I'm very happy to have stayed here instead of a hotel. "

1462557,8562705,2013-11-05,3404901,Tracy & Marco,"Sara, Frederick and their family were perfect hosts and I loved this little apartment. It had everything I needed for my ten day stay with little touches that made me feel right at home. I spent a fun Halloween on the front porch with the family giving out candy, and their kitty Flower Power was a frequent cuddly visitor in the studio. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay! You are always welcome to come visit us in Australia :) xo"

1462557,11346809,2014-03-31,7581747,New,Our stay at Sarah's Cozy Allandale Apartment was thoroughly enjoyed. It was great to have the privacy of a hotel room but at a lower cost plus it has a kitchen and everything else we needed. It is also in the same neighborhood as our family and is very convenient to all the Austin restaurants we wanted to visit! We will definitely stay here again in the future! We highly recommend it! 
1462557,11738706,2014-04-14,1094261,Katie,"We loved the garage apt. Bright, cheerful , pristine"
1462557,11885396,2014-04-18,8013695,Sasha,"This was a perfect place to stay during our visit to Austin, located in a lovely neighborhood. 

Sara was a great host and had some on point recommendations for tasty food that Austin has to offer. 

Exceeded my expectations and would love to return!"
1462557,11994911,2014-04-21,12508891,Tiffany,"Absolutely loved the apartment.  I was just enough space for my friend and I and our 2 boys.  It was also a very nice and quiet neighborhood.  The cats were a nice bonus for my son.  He loved petting them.  I would recommend Sara's place to anyone looking for a nice, quiet, and cozy place in Austin."
1462557,12203835,2014-04-26,11948264,Brenda,"Such a comfy hide-away! Minutes away from any/every where! Sara and Fredrik were great! We were on the go much of the time, and the apartment was a great place to come ""home"". Fell in love with Austin in the spring! We're hoping to make Austin a regular destination, and Sara and Fredrik's place our go-to home away from home!"
1462557,12291309,2014-04-28,7897549,Ginger,"Sara and Fredrik were great hosts.  They were not intrusive, said hello to me once as I was leaving the apartment early Saturday morning.  They were very responsive on email contact. I enjoyed staying in this quiet, older part of town to get a real feel for Austin.  It was minutes from either Downtown (south) or UT (north) where my meetings were.  The garage apt is very quaint and has everything you would need for your stay including a small but fully stocked kitchen should you want to cook or store groceries.  The BEST part for me was it is totally separate from their house so I didn't have to worry about making noise staying up late to watch a movie, and I didn't hear anyone else's noise  :-) "
1462557,12383197,2014-04-30,11456945,David,"Great hosts, great apartment, great neighborhood, great fit for a few days in Austin. Would love to stay here again."
1462557,12549795,2014-05-05,12930266,Vic,"Fredrick and Sara was very acomadating and helpful. Sara gave me good information on hiking trails, buslines and good pleases to eat. 
The apartment was conveniently located, clean and very cozy. 
Over all I had a great time in Austin, Fredrick and Sara are awesome, excellent host. 
Cozy Allendale apartment will all ways be my first choice when traveling to Austin. "
1462557,13063325,2014-05-19,7339873,Amber,"Sara was a great host. Her place was clean and included a welcome binder with information on places to check out in Austin. She was also very easy to communicate with via email and phone. If you have transportation (quick drive to most places, but not walking distance), I would definitely recommend that you stay with Sara if you're coming to Austin."
1462557,13253256,2014-05-23,15199947,Jim,This is such a cool little place is just a little apartment over a garage.  it is an excellent place to stay. I will absolutely 100% stay here again.  It is nestled in a very cool little neighborhood in is very safe. It is also close to a grocery store and other convenient highways to get you just about anywhere in Austin.
1462557,13347097,2014-05-26,3285415,Anthony,"The Cozy Allendale Apartment was in fact cozy and in a nice, quiet neighborhood.  The host and her family were very accommodating.  The property is conveniently located in Austin.  We would gladly stay there again.  We loved Austin, what a great foodie town and the music was fun."
1462557,16806503,2014-08-02,18770885,Emily,"The Cozy Allendale Apartment Hideaway was super cute. Very clean and tidy, which is really important to me. My friend and I came in quite late after a concert and we were still able to check in with no problem due to the easy coded doorknob. It was an overall great experience!! Thanks Sara!!"
1462557,16909122,2014-08-04,1094261,Katie,"Once again we really appreciated coming ""home"" to this cozy and comfortable apt. after busy days in Austin. It was airy, stocked with coffee and had a great shower. Great neighborhood!"
1462557,17317018,2014-08-10,19326014,Shanda,Great venue & wonderful hosts. Overall a very pleasant experience. Perfect location in a quaint neighborhood with easy access to all that Austin has to offer.
1462557,17846870,2014-08-18,739778,Jen,"Sara and Frederick (and their cute cat) made us feel very welcome! 
The apartment was great! Very cute, clean and everything needed was there.  I also noticed how well the central a/c works in the apartment! 
Even when it was over 100 degrees outside the apartment stayed very cool."
1462557,18278658,2014-08-24,19931409,Daniel,"Sara was a great host! She greeted us upon our arrival and welcomed us to Austin. The place matched our expectations and everything was in order for us to enjoy. A simple keypad unlocked the place which made it easy for us to get in/out at our convenience without depending on the host or worrying about bothering them. 
The place is a separate building from her house so it provides plenty of privacy yet it feels like an extension of the house. It included a guest book with very insightful recommendations from previous guests. Sara's husband was very friendly and gave us recommendations on what to do around the area. 
Overall a great stay, I highly recommend the place for people interested in exploring Austin without the craziness of staying downtown. "
1462557,19214054,2014-09-08,8593381,Samuel,We had an awesome time at Sara's place! They were such welcoming hosts and we both loved the space. The apartment is beautiful and has all of the desired amenities. They also have two very sweet cats who were nice to meet as well. Overall we had a very positive experience and there is nothing for me to complain about. Would definitely recommend for fellow travellers.
1462557,19942778,2014-09-21,1467410,Meghan,"The apartment is lovely and comfortable and was perfect for a combination business/family trip.  There is no street or other noise, and the full kitchen is great.  The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and clearly work hard to make the space clean and inviting.  Parking on the street was no problem.  Loved my stay and hope to return with my husband when we have other chances to visit Austin family members."
1462557,20348416,2014-09-28,11608094,Sabine,"The Cozy Allendale Appartment is a wonderful place that made want to stay forever. My 6-years old daughter and me had enough space in a quite environment surround by nature. The space was clean and the owners very helpful. Thanks, Sara, we will definetely come back!"
1462557,20808703,2014-10-06,2128566,Lara,"My friend and I stayed here for ACL and it was almost the easiest part of the weekend! Sara and her husband were helpful, friendly and unobtrucive, everything you would ever want in a host/hostess. The little above garage apartment was perfect and I will always try and stay here when I visit Austin in the future and recommend it to my friends. "
1462557,21123341,2014-10-12,8520449,Cristina,"We spent the weekend in Austin during ACL so we weren't at the home as much as we would have wanted. The neighborhood is very quiet and the host were very polite and welcoming! I especially thought the restroom set up was awesome! Very efficient as well. If you love animals, especially cats, you will be in for a treat. They came in to keep us company which we did not mind at all! If you're looking for a relax stay and a comfortable home, you will find it here."
1462557,21337740,2014-10-15,28150,Barbara,"Sara and Fredrik were responsive and generous hosts. The apartment is small but well equipped, in the middle of a leafy neighborhood. An accidental snafu was handled immediately and graciously. This will be our go-to place next time we visit our Austin Family."
1462557,21554265,2014-10-19,21890896,Tori,Staying at Sara's Cozy Apartment was just what my friend and I needed for our weekend trip to Austin. It has an efficient kitchen and a convenient location! We felt very comfortable and would return in the future! 
1462557,21940977,2014-10-27,5500561,Jane,"This is the best place we have found so far in our 12 years of visiting Austin. The independence of this apartment, the convenience to basic stores, handy to our daughters, cleanliness, cheerful atmosphere and great hosts make this a gem we plan to be our first choice next visit. 
The kitchen was small and handy making fixing meals easy. It was well equipped for my needs. Loved the Greek shower and found the bed comfy!
Location is in a pretty neighborhood that seems safe. We like to walk and would feel safe doing that here
Having an apartment separate from our hosts was a big plus as we didn't feel as though we were imposing. However the hosts seemed very warm and accommodating. 
My daughter would love to have such a great place for us. Both of our daughters were impressed with this place too "
1462557,22234621,2014-11-02,11378644,Joanna,"We had a wonderful stay at Sara and Fredrick's place.  It was easy to find and the neighborhood was quiet and nice and we were about 10 minutes away from everything we wanted to do, including going downtown.  The place itself was delightful.  It had everything we were looking for in a place to stay.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if my travels ever bring me back to Austin. "
1462557,22584937,2014-11-10,7035367,Robert,Sara had everything ready when  we arrived and she greeted us once we were settled in.   The unit was perfect for out needs and the location provided easy access to downtown.  
1462557,22744369,2014-11-13,8595698,Craig,"Wonderful place, good location."
1462557,23664368,2014-12-07,2323140,Chris,"I have stayed at a variety of locations all over Austin, and this by far is the coziest and most quiet.  Sara and Fredrik have a beautiful and very clean apartment above the garage.  You will also meet the kitty cats."
1462557,25817196,2015-01-26,2394658,Robin,"Great spot, very cozy, easy to get around. The bedroom is separated from the main room, which is great. Also, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need to be comfortable. We found the location to be very peaceful but also very central to the main sights in Austin!"
1462557,26022067,2015-02-01,26441030,Steven,"The best word to describe this place is ""Perfect."""
1462557,30190512,2015-04-19,26537407,Dan,"This is a wonderfully private apartment in a very cute neighborhood. It was very quiet and the hosts were most accommodating! Full kitchen, sitting area and a queen bed were just enough for our weekend away from our children. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. "
1462557,30758482,2015-04-27,384746,Jon,"The apartment was clean and comfortable. We enjoy staying someplace like this much more than a hotel, which is more expensive. A perfect place to stay if you are in town visiting friends or family, on business or to see a show."
1462557,31264810,2015-05-03,31714380,Christine,"This cute yellow apartment on top of the garage was a pleasant stay. We didn't get a chance to meet Sara but we met her husband on our arrival. He was very kind and made us feel very comfortable. The apartment was a great size and everything we needed was available, including a full kitchen. Although we didn't put any of this to use, the amount of space provided was great. The only thing I would have to say that was slightly uncomfortable was the bed itself. Otherwise, a great first experience at an AirBnb! "
1462557,32520936,2015-05-19,22623395,Dianne & Jim,"Sara has the perfect private separate apartment for your stay in Austin!  Well appointed for cooking, relaxing and slumber...a wonderful ""home away from home"". Don't look any further, book now!"
1462557,32959711,2015-05-24,26441030,Steven,The neighborhood is perfectly located for easy access to everything you need.  I love the trees on the street too.  This was our second stay at this property and I am already looking forward to our next visit.
1462557,33711872,2015-05-31,30563805,Amanda,I really enjoyed the cozy garage apartment. It was quiet and in a great location to explore Austin! Sara was a great host and quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. The neighborhood pool was an awesome afternoon getaway since the natural springs were all flooded :( 
1462557,34052285,2015-06-04,4938112,Marjolein,"Een werkelijk fantastisch appartement in een rustige en mooie buurt buiten het centrum van Austin. Makkelijk bereikbaar, zeer schoon, leuk ingericht met alle comfort.
Zeer aan te raden!"
1462557,34376513,2015-06-07,16707021,Callie,Beautiful neighborhood and a great place to stay for our weekend in Austin! Just perfect for us! And the lightening bugs! So fun! Thanks for having us Sara and Fredrik!
1462557,35158708,2015-06-15,7184692,Jason,Sara was great! She answered all our questions promptly and gave us great food recommendations! The space is quiet and perfect for two people. Great kitchen and privacy. Highly recommended!
1462557,38248004,2015-07-14,25877004,Niru,"We had a lovely stay at Sara & Frédéric's cozy Allendale apartment... it was well furnished, comfortable and ideally located. Both Sara & Frédéric were warm and welcoming and it was a pleasure meeting them. We had a very comfortable four week stay and wouldn't hesitate staying there again!
"
1462557,44365378,2015-08-25,41297558,Jerry,"Sara Schaubert made me feel at home before I even met her. The neighborhood was nice and adjacent to the home I traveled to Austin to do business with its owner. The only problem I had was that the Airbnb website needs a major overhaul by someone who knows how to set up a website. What should taken 5 minutes to accomplish too over an hour, spread out over two days, because the website kept tying up. The owner should not have been required to pay Airbnb for services, since Sara's neighbor recommended her bnb, gave me the link to rent it and he only thing Airbnb did was take a percentage of what I paid Sara for the apartment without providing any service of any type."
1462557,45311979,2015-09-01,41498743,Mike,"We really enjoyed our stay here.  The apartment was quiet and secluded, and offered perfect access to the city and surrounding attractions.

Our hosts were responsive to all our questions, but also respected our privacy.

I'd highly recommend this rental."
1462557,45968024,2015-09-07,19326556,Chris,A great stay in Austin close to the friends we were visiting.
1462557,47382282,2015-09-18,7917735,Rob,"Perfect spot for an inexpensive Austin getaway. Sara's apartment is clean, spacious and within walking/bicycling distance from a lot of spots on Burnet Rd. Bed is comfortable and the kitchen is pretty well outfitted for cooking meals."
1462557,48030838,2015-09-22,2429850,Colin,"This a fantastic little gem that was perfect for the first leg of our Austin/Texas holiday escapade. Sara and Fredrik are warm, generous hosts who made sure we had everything we needed for a beyond pleasant stay. They were especially accommodating when it came to our early check in, a real pleasure after a long morning of taxing air travel. The apartment had everything we needed; it's cozy, clean, safe and very private. Would definitely stay here again! "
1462557,48523335,2015-09-27,11608094,Sabine,Der Aufenthalt im Cozy Allendale Apartment war wie immer sehr angenehm und fühlte sich an wie zu Hause. Kann ich immer wieder empfehlen!
1462557,49582648,2015-10-05,2957066,Neeraj,"Sara and her husband were very friendly, easy to communicate with and provided plenty of amenities. The place was spotless and comfortable. Great location with groceries nearby and easy to get where we wanted. I would definitely recommend their place to anyone traveling to Austin."
1462557,51005454,2015-10-17,27481868,Jane,"Before we arrived I made contact with Sara to ask when it would be convenient for us to arrive. She was very quick in replying to inform us that we could arrive as early as 08.00 the following day, which was great. Although we didn't have too much contact with our hosts, Sara and Fredrick and also their children, when we did they were friendly, welcoming, interesting and helpful. In a nutshell, really nice people.
The apartment is just as described and really comfortable. The photos give you a very good idea of how it is inside and out. There is plenty of storage for your clothes and I can't think of anything that was needed. The shower was great and Sara provided us with clean towels when we asked. The air con was a life saver and worked extremely well. As  this was our first Airbnb experience, it could not have been better, so thank you Sara and Fredrick for opening up your lovely apartment to us."
1462557,52040835,2015-10-26,34943081,Elizabeth,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it will be tough to beat! The apartment is in a wonderful location, is very cozy and perfectly furnished. Sara also made herself readily available in case my husband and I had any questions or concerns. I would definitely recommend this listing for anyone visiting the Austin area. "
1462557,52474354,2015-10-30,28190843,Brenda,Host checked in with us a number of times to make sure all was OK.  We loved Austin and each night came home to a very comfortable and well equipped abode. 
2265,963,2009-03-17,7538,Niall,I stayed here during SXSW and had a really pleasant stay.  The house is a very relaxing environment and Paddy is both a friendly and professional host. 
2265,1057,2009-03-22,10029,Michael,"Great place, close enough to everything downtown Austin has, yet just far enough to be relaxing and quiet.  An excellent place to regroup and recharge.  Paddy respected my privacy and different hours.  The place is clean and hip - I would stay with Paddy again.  You must be okay with dogs. "
2265,200418,2011-03-16,61677,Gustaf,"We had a great time in Austin staying at Paddy's house. The house is much larger than it looks on the photos, very clean and the moment you step in you feel like home. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again next time I'm back in Austin. "
2265,1001630,2012-03-15,1523753,Noah,"We had a great stay at Zen East for South By Southwest!  Paddy was extremely accommodating and we found the place to be exotic and homely.  It was easy to settle right in and experience Austin, and everything was a short taxi or bus ride away.  She had everything we needed for our stay, and we loved the zen vibe of the backyard garden. "
2265,1016390,2012-03-19,1547660,Melissa,"I arrived late in the evening so did not meet Paddy, but her home was lovely and clean and welcoming. She checked in with my friend and I most days to make sure that we had no questions or needed anything. All in all, a very smooth, stress-free experience in Austin!"
2265,2707758,2012-10-24,2449913,Nick,"a really welcoming place to stay, lovely back yard, very relaxing space to be in - amazing little grocer (wet whistle) and sandwich shop (austin daily press) within a few blocks walk through the lovely neighborhood.
utilitarian but very useful corner store literally a block away.
excellent communication and a very easy time coordinating."
2265,2926194,2012-11-20,3362054,Chrysta,"We stayed here for the F1 race weekend and it was perfect. Paddy was a great host and we enjoyed speaking with her. The house has everything you need and she will help with great places to eat. We also appreciated the breakfast items she left! I would recommend this place to anyone! It was great location, close to downtown. Be advised that getting a cab to pick you up at night is very hard! If you are planning on drinking take your car, leave it and have a cab drive you home. We would then take another car to pick up in the morning on the way to the track. Just a suggestion, as its not advisable to drink and drive! Thanks to Paddy again and we hope to see you next year!"
2265,3813128,2013-03-18,4025558,John,"Paddy's place was just as advertised. It was clean and she clearly went all out in trying to make the place comfortable. However, her level of involvement at the place was less than ideal.

Besides a few hour long visits to the house, our party received no less than 21 text messages from Paddy during the stay.  She left her dog at the place (which she didn't tell us she was doing), and also texted that she would be coming by in the morning to do laundry, but would try not to disturb if we were asleep. Two early AM doorbell rings later and a woken up boss, does not a happy stay make.  My boss was very displeased with me for booking us into this place. She said ""Never Again"".

Great place, intrusive owner."
2265,11005865,2014-03-17,11604963,Safia,"I stayed at Zen-East during SXSW.  It is a lovely property with a beautiful backyard and front porch.  It is very convenient and a lot of restaurants/bars/coffee spots very close by.  Paddy was extremely helpful and always responded back to me very quickly.  She kindly provided us with breakfast items and suggestions on local/hill country a.  She always gave me some notice if she was coming by and I felt very comfortable staying at her property.  I would highly recommend this property to anyone.  I feel Paddy genuinely wanted to make us feel comfortable.  Considering the house is so central, I thought her rental price was very reasonable.  In all, my friends and I had a wonderful time at Zen-East and look forward to returning!"
2265,33015130,2015-05-24,25409641,Jenna,Paddy was extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay again!
2265,49538776,2015-10-04,31555633,Darryl,Paddy was helpful with orientation and warning us of perils of Austin rush hour. House was clean and outdoor space was nice addition.  
2265,50454288,2015-10-12,38407277,Savino,We stayed at Paddy's for ACL and it couldn't have worked out better. Paddy's house was perfect for four people to share and close to everything we wanted to do in Austin. We had some timing issues on our part for arrival and Paddy was very accommodating. Overall it was a great experience. 
8887937,52952401,2015-11-02,16088258,Jose,I felt very welcomed and comfortable. Jonny was very attentive and quick to respond to my inquiries. The apartment is a bit of climb once you find out where it is in the apartment complex. The location is very quiet and allows for a comfortable rest.
7887066,52193064,2015-10-26,46733088,Jason & Su,"John was a great host, the house was cozy and felt like a home with lots of great energy. The house is convenient to downtown and 71 without having to deal with a ton of traffic. Would definitely recommend staying here."
2391170,28080000,2015-03-17,20533672,Melissa,"Willy was very easy to work with. We met Willy briefly at the end of our stay and he was a nice young man. The neighborhood was lovely. The home was much more of a residence with all the trappings and evidence of every day life, more than any other Airbnb any of us had ever stayed in. Austin, TX was good to us. "
8101031,46820807,2015-09-13,706986,Gayle,The apartment is very close to the Bull Creek Greenbelt which was very lovely and a great little hike of about 3 miles along Bull Creek.  It is quite a large complex but this apartment is at the top of the hill and very quiet.  The queen sized bed is adequate.  Please note that there is no living or dining room furniture to speak of.  For us it worked out because we had lots of things to do and were really only at the property to sleep and change clothes.  
4134923,41000178,2015-08-03,38412287,M'Cheyl,"Merita was a great host! Her home was as beautiful as her photos! She has great taste in decor. She was very helpful prior and during our stay. Although Merita was not able to be there, my guests and I were welcomed with a nice air conditioned home, a bottle of red wine, and a  binder of things to do and how much it would be with an Uber ride. She even provided us with a promo code so our ride downtown, which was ~12 minute drive, ended up being free! Her beds were comfy, her home was very clean and spacious, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. I would definitely consider staying here again."
4134923,46164149,2015-09-08,35243068,Brittany,"Merita was an excellent host! This was my first time using Airbnb and I couldn't be happier with my experience and hope my future experience can match this one! Upon arrival, Merita provided us with a binder of countless local Austin suggestions and even left us a bottle of locally made Lemon Vodka. Merita's house was beautiful, spacious and extremely well kept. We had 7 guests and she offered an air mattress which made us fit perfectly with plenty of living and common space to relax. She even provided shampoo, conditioners and other bathroom toiletries. The house was in a nice, quiet location and only a 5-10 minute Uber ride into downtown (which cost on average $6 using Uber). I would certainly recommend this house and Merita as a host to everyone! Thank you again, Merita!"
4134923,49715920,2015-10-05,32261061,Mahassen,Merits was an excellent host and her place was perfect for our stay in Austin! She responded immediately to any questions that we had. The pictures truly matched the house. 
4134923,50669822,2015-10-13,9647586,Steven,Awesome host and AirBnb experience! 
5241591,28259211,2015-03-21,27526236,Stephane,"We booked the house during SXSW and had a great time. The house is located south of the city and it is very easy to go downtown with public transport (there is a bus stop right around the corner and then it take 20mn). The house itself is great and can easily accomodate people with 3 nice bedrooms. There is a nice little garden too which is great for warm evenings. Overall it was all very fine and Paolo gave us a warm welcome when we arrived, showing us around and making us feel comfortable. 
The only thing people should be aware of is that there is a train line passing by and it can be a bit noisy but it is only few times during a day so not a big issue.
Enjoy the house and enjoy Austin :)"
7696797,42083737,2015-08-10,40650908,Elise,"This was a really nice place, and exactly as the listing had described. Recently redone, super comfortable, and a peaceful area. I would definitely recommend this host, and would definitely book again! Great value located not too far from Austin. "
7696797,43191283,2015-08-17,16437118,Yazmin,"Our experience was Great! Christopher's place was no more than 15 mins from downtown. His set up was very modern, and surprisingly spacious for a small place. I was in love with the shower! It's awesome. He had towels, coffee, water, some snakes available. Plus wifi :) very accommodating. "
7696797,46008875,2015-09-07,23439425,Imari,"Christopher is a great host! This was my first time using Airbnb. At first I didn't know what to expect, but my experience was a positive one. The guest house is located about twenty minutes from the city, which is actually the perfect distance from the city. The location is beautiful - so many trees, hills, and great views. I felt like I was back in my hometown (California). The guest house is lovely; it's just like how it's pictured. It's located in a really safe and quiet area. Everything was nice and clean. There wasn't anything out of place. It felt very homey. Although, I didn't meet Christopher in person he was very helpful and welcoming. When I decided to visit Austin, again - I know where I will be staying. "
7696797,46325120,2015-09-09,42517368,Younes,"Staying at Christopher's place was a very positive experience. The guest house is comfortable and tidy. It is located in a beautiful neighborhood just a short drive from downtown. Christopher was a very good host, making all the logistical aspects easy and convenient. I would definitely recommend staying there."
7696797,47855817,2015-09-21,36083239,Jose,Amazing Apartment! Very calm and quiet neighborhood. Beautiful scenery. All accommodations were as described. Wifi was definitely a plus as well as coffee and snacks. Highly recommend this space. Only 15 min away from downtown Austin. 
7696797,49564005,2015-10-04,13581640,Jenni,"The room was very nice, private, clean, and as described in the listing.  The neighborhood was great... in the hills, but convenient to the city.  We didn't have the chance to meet Chris during our stay, however he was easy to communicate with and flexible.   "
7696797,51370518,2015-10-19,45795148,Matthew,"This was our first experience with air bnb, we were a little cautious at first and looked over the options very carefully before deciding. Chris and Linda's house is very clean, modern and has every amenity that hotels three times its price have. After staying here we went to the Omni downtown and kept saying we should have just stayed another night where we were. 
Chris and Linda took care of every detail before we arrived and their effort shows in how they present the house. The only negative aspect even turned out to be a positive as well. We thought it might be a bit too far from downtown but it really is closer than you'd think (a cheap uber ride away) plus it's just far enough away to wake up peacefully with no city noises at all (something we dealt with frequently after we went downtown)."
7696797,51871269,2015-10-24,14409830,Mariah,"I was thrilled to arrive in a quiet neighborhood to a beautifully remodeled, peaceful apartment. Inside was immaculately clean, with plenty of fresh towels in the bath and a spa-like feel to the bathroom. The kitchenette even had wine glasses for the evening wine o'clock. There was a large flat screen TV in the bedroom which I did not even turn on because I was enjoying the solitude. I will be happy to return if there is availability."
7696797,52109860,2015-10-26,8233728,Cindy,"Enjoyed our stay.  Your place is very nice, bed slept great!  Will definitely be back!  Thank you!"
1221070,5737751,2013-07-14,7056393,Katie,"Wonderful Experience,
Tony was very helpful, and even gave us an upgrade. The flat was everything we wanted it to be, and even had some delicious organic juice that tasted just like Dr. Pepper! We were visiting for my friends 30th, and the experience was perfect. Thank You so much!
-kt"
1221070,6397345,2013-08-11,549738,Larry,"Staying with Tony is really fantastic.  Location is amazing in South Austin.  Very close to South Congress which is in walking distance.  The apartment was immaculate, as well.  Tony told me the story about building the large structure the building resides in.  An amazing story!   You really have everything here...  True privacy but also the chance to mingle with some great Austin folks if you choose.  I am already planning my next stay!   If you are going Austin... GO MONSTROSITY!"
1221070,6769337,2013-08-24,2401851,Cary,"Had a great time at Tony's place. Definitely a unique place and unique experience but worth it. The ladder is challenging if you are not great at climbing or think you would have trouble in the middle of the night going down to use the restroom think twice, but if your capable its pretty darn cool! Tony is a great guy also! "
1221070,7043729,2013-09-04,7834414,Ashton,"What a great place! It is just the right size for one to four people staying for a weekend getaway. The location is so close to South Congress, yet it is in a very quiet neighborhood. Right around the corner is a convenient HEB grocery store. When we got there Tony was very welcoming and made sure to show us all the features of the Little Monstrosity. I really liked the lofted bed and the added touch of a climbing a ladder to the private bed was really cool. Tony even provided some speakers for us so that we could play music in the house. The place is clean and private with plenty of room to store your bags and hang your clothing. Parking was always available at all times of the day either on the street or in the driveway. If you don't have a car or just plan on walking or biking everywhere, it is very easy to get to the restaurants and bars on 1st street and South Congress from the house. There is even a small and private enclosed courtyard with a table and chairs. For those hot and sunny Texas days there is a very convenient sunshade above the table and chairs to keep you comfortable. If you stay here make sure to get yourself some Gourdough's Donuts or stop by Elizabeth's for an excellent bowl of pho. I would stay here again and again. Thanks Tony!"
1221070,7560446,2013-09-24,8562497,Riley,"Had a great time!  The place was nice and roomy, with a clean and comfy atmosphere.  The location was great, in a nice neighborhood, and close to south congress and bus routes.  Tony was awesome, he was very friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed."
1221070,7913073,2013-10-08,6276343,Taylor,Great place to stay.  Very convenient for ACL and a lot of great restaurants are very walkable.  The bus stop is two blocks away to get into downtown.  Everything was awesome!
1221070,8077977,2013-10-15,6270824,Kathleen,"Tony was a fantastic host and the studio apartment was great! Three of us crashed here during ACL, and along with being stocked with anything we could've needed (extra toothbrush/toothpaste, Advil, Airborne, bug spray, etc), the apartment was a great place to hang out, make breakfast, and sleep. It was a quick walk to South Congress neighborhood, an HEB, and Magnolias, as well as a fifteen minute bike ride to Zilker and almost everything else. Absolutely no complaints, and Tony made it effortless by always being on-call and courteous. Highly recommend. Thanks Tony!!"
1221070,8288265,2013-10-23,4064864,Drew,"Tony and his monstrous loft were awesome.  I will surely be back again to enjoy the tempurpedic comfort.  Thanks, Tone!"
1221070,8405306,2013-10-29,168993,Laura,"We had great fun at Little Monstrosity.  The loft is well appointed in a great neighborhood and close to many of the amenities of Austin (especially those at Congress and South 1st). We stayed there with our 2 kids and a dog and had plenty of room for all of us.  There is a nice courtyard that our dog and the kids took advantage of. Our communication with Tony was excellent and he was he was highly responsive to any of our needs and suggestions. I highly recommend Tony's place if you are visiting Austin and need a great place to stay in the south of the city.
"
1221070,8698288,2013-11-12,7423446,Amy,"We had a really good time.  The location was great & the dogs loved the gated yard area.  It was fun getting to travel with them.
The place had everything we needed.
Thanks! "
1221070,9183994,2013-12-11,10235008,Doug,"Very hospitable host.   Very clean, fun and comfortable space.  Recommended A +++"
1221070,9428362,2013-12-28,8584436,Elizabeth,"Tony was great -- very attentive, nice guy. The place was as advertised and in really good condition. Would definitely stay there again. "
1221070,9854599,2014-01-14,10782119,Shonie,"Awesome place, great location, great host.  We'll definitely be staying here again.  "
1221070,9935597,2014-01-20,11003415,Yaprak And David,"Tony is awesome and super helpful. The building is in the backyard of his house/property and very new/modern. It's very clean minus some dust bunnies behind the loft/bed. Everything was super comfortable, beats staying at a hotel for sure. We took the bus downtown a few times, 5-8 minute walk to the bus stop. The buses go everywhere from his location and the fare is $2 for 24hours. I would definitely recommend Little Monstrosity Loft. The location is super safe and the neighborhood is very nice."
1221070,10337345,2014-02-14,420227,Eugenia,"Tony is a great host and the loft is fantastic.  With the other rental units on the property, it's somewhat like a compound, but in a good way.  To me it's representative of the best of eclectic Austin."
1221070,10421922,2014-02-18,2359762,Dean,"Little Monstrosity was the perfect stay for my first visit to Austin! It was centrally located, clean, modern and perfect for my two friends and me. The loft added a great feel to the apartment and the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans and other needs for some light cooking. The bathroom was very clean and there was even an small outside area where we would enjoy our morning coffee. "
1221070,10719074,2014-03-04,11524607,Mitchell,"The Little Monstrosity was great for my group--five people staying for an extended weekend. When we arrived, Tony showed us around the property, our apartment, and the rest of the building. He also provided an inflatable mattress for our fifth person. The bathroom and kitchen are really well equipped--we cooked a meal for eight during one night. The courtyard is a great perk, and the roof was also available while we were there--excellent for an early evening beer. The location was convenient--very close to a supermarket, and within walking distance of eateries and shops on South Congress. We had a car so public transit wasn't something we considered much, but cabs from downtown where we spent time--mostly East 6th--were only about 15 bucks. If I come back to Austin, I'd definitely look into booking this place again"
1221070,11215538,2014-03-25,10582588,Kelsey,Tony was an excellent host and the loft has a great location in Austin. My boyfriend and I had a brief issue with noise from other guests and Tony went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure that it did not happen again and took of everything for us. The loft is very stylish and nice. 
1221070,11301672,2014-03-29,12391002,Jessica,Such a cool and Austiny property- Tony was super helpful with our arrival/ check out/ neighborhood tips.  Great location: private but walking distance from all you would want!
1221070,11649124,2014-04-10,10811977,Dale,"This was a great loft style urban space.  Don't be intimidated by the eclectic path to this little gem. All Austin, all urban, and we walked to coffee and the grocery."
1221070,12007928,2014-04-21,7378314,Allie,"My friends and I had a great time at Tony's place. It was perfect for our needs, and a really fun area. Loved the huge shaded courtyard and really nice kitchen. It had everything we needed, like towels, blankets, etc. Tony was super helpful throughout the entire process. Before we got there I had texted asking if there were speakers or a hair dryer there and he made sure both items were laid out for us in the place before we even arrived. Tony also let us take our time packing up and let us store our suitcases there even after we checked out. A very friendly and awesome experience, and I'd definitely stay here again! And recommend this unit and the adjacent unit with a rooftop deck that we were able to see there as well. "
1221070,12277201,2014-04-28,12536085,Sally,"What a gem! This place was everything it promises to be and more. Not only was the interior wonderful but the outdoor living space was great too. We had the pleasure of meeting Tony who was super cool and incredibly interesting which added to the overall appeal. 

Will stay again! Thanks Tony "
1221070,12603368,2014-05-06,1635782,Victoria,"This was our second time staying at the Little Monstrosity.  It was as perfect as the first .  Couldn't ask for a better location: downtown, South Congress and Zilker park are all within a few miles of walking distance.  The loft is GREAT!  Big windows, high ceilings, outdoor seating area, air con, and a pull out couch if the loft bed is too much (although we always sleep up there).  Such a pleasure to stay at Tony's place.  We think of it as our 'home-away-from home"" now!"
1221070,12895856,2014-05-13,7028786,Adriana,We had an excellent stay at little monstrosity. Tony was responsive and available the whole time we were there and the space was very nice. I especially enjoyed eating my breakfast in the private yard. There is an excellent grocery store a few blocks away in case you're trying to save money by eating in.
1221070,13648611,2014-06-02,3474026,Chris,"My friends and I had a blast at the loft. It's a hip space with all the amenities you need, and is in a great location to get to all the things you look for in Austin. Our host, Tony, went above and beyond in making sure we were happy when we ran into a mechanical issue with the refrigerator. Great host, great space, thanks again!"
1221070,14042482,2014-06-10,15177291,Darryl,"Tony was great as a host  we didn't actually meet but he was attentive and quick to respond on everything.

Place was  in a great spot and good value.  Building is unconventional but cool.  

Glad  I was crashing with a dude on work and not with my lady as I am not sure she would have been thrilled with the 8ft ladder climb to the main (loft) bed :)  Other bed is a pull out sofa bed.  Bathroom felt college dorm plus.  

People need to read the listing very closely. Although it says there are 2 beds there is a loft bed and a pull out sofa. There are no bedrooms   This is a studio.  When we read the listing in a hurry we saw two beds and thought 2 actual beds. No issue with Tony - when I went back and looked I see it described accurately.  This is one where people booking in a hurry need to slow down and focus. 4 in this spot need to be value conscious good friends happy to be sleeping in two double beds.

All in all good value and fine for busy people using it as a crash pad  that want to be in SoCo

Can't argue with the price and would definitely book through Tony again.

"
1221070,15451927,2014-07-09,13850310,Charlie,"This was me and my friends' first Airbnb experience and Tony was a better host than we ever could've hoped for.  Before we even got there, Tony was very responsive and gave us a free day and a free upgrade to one of his larger properties.  

We stayed for a week in Austin and the place was well stocked with towels, supplies, dishes, you name it.  Tony even brought over two air mattresses for us to use.  Even more above and beyond, Tony gave the Aussie in our group an American cellphone to use for free the whole time we were there.  Tony was constantly offering new ways to make our stay more enjoyable.

As for the loft itself, I can't speak to the inside, but the bungalow was amazing.  Very close to the South Congress area and downtown, Tony's properties have a great location.  The properties surrounding had a bunch of nice people coming and going which added to the experience.

Stay with Tony! You won't regret it!"
1221070,20893539,2014-10-07,3452718,Maggie,"Tony was a phenomenal host. The pictures are accurate and the space fit our big group of 5. Tony was nice enough to provide us with an air mattress for our fifth guest, along with extra sheets and towels.

We loved the area of Little Monstrosity. We were a short Uber ride away from all parts of Austin, and just a mile or so from South Congress. Tony left us phenomenal suggestions for food, and also gave us a few great ideas of what to do on our last day. We would definitely come back and stay here again for ACL!"
1221070,21275692,2014-10-14,633083,Meg,"Tony was friendly and helpful before and throughout our stay, and quick to respond to questions and offer great local suggestions. The property is accurately described in the listing and was a fun place to relax before and after long days out in Austin. It's in a supremely walkable location that any traveler looking for a real neighborhood instead of a hotel would enjoy--highly recommended! "
1221070,21954541,2014-10-27,3380705,Jillian,"The Little Monstrosity was perfect for our stay in Austin! The location could not have been more perfect-- close to South Congress, Barton Springs, and an HEB where we got food to cook for our stay. Tony had bikes for us to use, responded quickly to our questions, and even provided cooler for us to use. The backyard area was quiet and a peaceful, relaxing place for us to hang out with our dog, Waylon. We're hoping that we can stay at the Little Monstrosity again on our next trip! "
1221070,22289812,2014-11-03,11121038,Paige,Great location! Cute place! Would definitely recommend!
1221070,22644842,2014-11-11,1750288,Denise,"The Little Monstrosity Loft was absolutely perfect for a weekend stay. It's larger than the pictures indicate and the neighborhood was delightful. There was plenty of safe street parking and the loft was tucked into a cute backyard. The place itself was immaculate, the bed and couch were both comfy, and our stay went off without a hitch. I'd definitely rent this space again, if only to hang out with the awesome cats in the backyard. "
1221070,22819187,2014-11-15,8923903,Yui,"Tony was one of the most caring, organized, and precise host I've ever had in my airbnb experience. I was there with some serious personal issues and was very stressed out since I was dealing with them in foreign country all by myself. He did not ask much but made sure to check on me constantly. His generous care really helped me emotionally.
The room is very modern as cozy. I loved the structure of the building. Everything I needed was there and I could not find any flaw in this place. 
It is also very convenient to reach out to anywhere plus his rental bicycle makes it even easier to get around.

As my conclusion, I would recommend anyone to book this place for Austin visit. I am already excited to come back here for SXSW next year thanks to his great hospitality. "
1221070,23522870,2014-12-03,2922479,Indy,"We had a fantastic Thanksgiving at the Little Loft. The place is just as shown on the pics plus more. At arrival, access to the apartment was simple and the keys were ready as arranged. From booking to check-out, Tony was always available to assist us and responsive to our inquiries too. Other units were also booked in this fun complex; and, the interaction with other guests was as groovy as Austin. The courtyard is peaceful and the pecan trees gifted plenty of nuts during our stay. Natural light is one of the features of this loft, the windows bring a lot of the outdoors to the living-room area. The sleeping area is a mezzanine and very comfortable. If you are not into adventures and prefer not to climb to the bedroom nook, you can use the queen futon downstairs. The kitchen has all the essentials and enough sets of everything for 4+. The bathroom was equipped with plenty of towels and toiletries too. I had guests for Thanksgiving and they loved the place and the positive energy of Tony's property. The location is easy to find, you can walk to a nice park a few blocks away, to the supermarket if you don't have a car, and to quite a few restaurants too. We will surely be back next time we visit Austin. "
1221070,23726054,2014-12-08,12686941,Tiffany,"Tony was incredibly helpful in suggesting things to do in the neighborhood and providing anything I needed to enjoy my stay. The place was wonderful, exactly what it looked like in the pictures. The street is residential but close by main streets. Austin is a driving city so I usually drove to go anywhere, but it seemed to be near buses and Tony provided bikes in case I needed them. I would defiantly recommend this listing to others. Thanks so much for everything Tony!"
1221070,25591973,2015-01-20,14444176,Matt,"The Little Monstrosity is a clean, modern loft great for up to 4 guests. It has a nice kitchen stocked with coffee, a shower with great water pressure, and a comfortable living area if you want to relax while not out in Austin. 

Tony is a great host. He checked us in at 8:30 pm after we arrived in town. He gave us a quick tour and let us know to contact him if we needed anything. "
1221070,25856332,2015-01-27,13066827,Valerie,"Tony's place was perfect. We arrived when temperatures were below 50, and Tony had the apartment already heated up for us. He also helped us with a few nightlife and food recommendations that really hit it out of the park. Would 100% stay at Tony's again if we return to Austin!"
1221070,26734308,2015-02-18,16003397,Michael,"Tony's place was great and ready right when we got there.  Everything was just as it said in the description and the space was perfect for the 2 of us to use as our home during our time exploring Austin.  Tony provided a number of ideas for us, of things to do in the area.  There were plenty of heaters and air conditioners for whatever the weather condition was like."
1221070,27049558,2015-02-24,6600834,Suvi,"Little Monstrosity loft was perfect place to stay for us in Austin. Great location in a quiet street, but very near lovely and lively SoCo. 
We would definitely stay at Tony's place again if we return to Austin someday. 
"
1221070,27437715,2015-03-04,27551345,Adam,"I highly recommend this Airbnb spot to those wanting to stay near the hip SoCo (South Congress) district (and not far from downtown). Tony was a great host and provides a beautiful space. Little Monstrosity is a cozy loft, with plenty of room to stretch your legs despite its diminutive footprint. I really enjoyed crashing at this quiet spot after long days of touring the city."
1221070,28424196,2015-03-23,27505615,Lamajiah,"My band and I enjoyed our stay and our first time in Texas. Everything was well kept and neat. The host made sure he introduced himself in person which I liked and made himself available via phone which was also a plus. 
There's a grocery store literally around the corner from the place which was super convenient. 
The biggest plus was the we had access to the roof top which was great. 
My only critique is that if you don't like cats, there are a few random cats that lurk around the property and may try to enter into your space if you allow them. 
If you don't mind cats or you don't have allergies then you're all good. Unfortunately I have allergies so I tried to avoid any interaction with the cats. 
And lastly there might have been a slight miscommunication on who all was staying in the building because we were told no one else would be there but sure enough there was a guy who stayed directly above us. But he was super cool so it was no biggie. 
All together it was great experience I would definitely recommend it for your stay at SxSW."
1221070,29819953,2015-04-13,10263218,Kelly,"Tony provided everything that is listed on the Air B&B site. The property was quiet and all neighbors were very respectful. The Little Monstrosity was a great place to stay with our puppy because there was a fenced in courtyard on the side of the house. The location was ideal for our stay in Austin. We liked being in walking distance of the SoCo area,  which was full of shops and delicious restaurants and we were about 15 minutes from the downtown area. We very much enjoyed our stay and hope to return to Austin soon. "
1221070,31956713,2015-05-12,5249843,Derek,Decided to stay here and try something different than a hotel.  Tony's little monstrosity loft was comfortable and quiet. Good location and great neighbor hood.  Plenty of places to eat within walking distance.  Definitely private and large enclosed court yard was a plus.  I would stay here again. 
1221070,32200409,2015-05-15,317687,Scott,good experience.  Nice large and clean space.  I'd recommend to anyone visiting Austin.  
1221070,32689649,2015-05-20,4933310,Hannah,"Tony was very friendly when greeting us. We arrived at the same time as another guest, so didn't have a lot of time to chat, but he made himself available when needed. 

The loft looked just as it did in the pictures and was in a great location. It was a short drive (or cheap uber) to everywhere we went while we were in Austin.

Wifi and TV service were a little spotty, but it didn't bother us much."
1221070,33451382,2015-05-28,30493356,Aaron,"We had an excellent stay at little monstrosity! The place is comfortable, quiet and exactly as it was described. It is in centered in a cute / quiet neighborhood that has easy access to bus lines, food, shopping, etc. As we were visiting Austin on foot, the proximity to the bus line was huge! Tony was quick to respond and helpful. Great host, great space, great location, thanks again!"
1221070,34318328,2015-06-07,32717855,Rory,"Had a great stay, really liked the (email hidden)ose to downtown/Zilker park/South Congress etc. Tony was very accomadating but not intrusive. Unit was very tasteful and stocked with all the necessities. I stayed there with my 2 teenagers, we had plenty of room....my kids really liked it also. Will stay there again when I return to Austin in the future. Thanks Tony!"
1221070,34718381,2015-06-11,33188224,Ryan,This was a great alternative to the local hotels. Tony was very helpful with any issues or questions that we had. Tony made sure that we had a great stay at every turn. The place was different than what I was expecting but turned out to be a great fit for us and we were all very satisfied. Will stay again if I get back to Austin because it is in a great area and in the middle of everything.
1221070,37171783,2015-07-05,2631893,Pepper,"Tony is awesome! He is super laid back and has the property set like a hotel, anything you need is provided, from bug spray to bikes. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I extended it. The area is fantastic, close to everything and the loft is amazing. I wish it was my apartment! I would absolutely recommend any of Tony's properties!"
1221070,39049580,2015-07-20,36372649,Mark,"Tony was quickly and thoroughly responsive to any communications during our entire stay. The Monstrosity is located in a neighborhood that's easy to find, and from which to navigate Austin's great SoCo neighborhood, and downtown. The bed in the loft was a revelation to me. It appeared to be a futon, but turned out its a memory foam bed. Best sleep I've had in years. No kidding. Please know, however, that the main bed (there's also a fold-out couch on the main floor) is up a small staircase. Drinking and climbing is not recommended! "
1221070,40943576,2015-08-03,181200,Samantha,"We had a great stay here at the monstrosity little loft! The place was ready for us  when we arrived and he was very flexible with our departing time!
Tony was an amazing host who when we needed anything helped at the drop of a hat! 
The location was central to everything! 
If ever back in Austin I will definitely be staying with Tony again! "
1221070,42122032,2015-08-11,9333748,Annabelle,L'appartement correspond à la description mais est un peu petit pour 4 personnes. Quartier très calme et typique. Bonne situation pour visiter le centre ville. La décoration intérieure est très sympa. Nous n'avons pas vu Tony mais un voisin nous a accueilli (rapidement ...)
1221070,44914122,2015-08-30,36722463,Hubert,"Tony made us feel very welcomed.  It was a safe neighborhood with a close distance to anything.  We even walked to see the bats from his place.  Tony was very responsive and even invited us to his party, which was very nice of him.  I really enjoyed the stay and I am looking forward to stay there again.  Thanks!"
1221070,45510326,2015-09-03,41920041,Mimi,"What a fantastic, comfortable spot! Quintessentially Austin, and perfectly located. Thanks so much for a great stay!"
1221070,46142603,2015-09-08,15199197,Joseph,This place was exactly what I needed. It was in a great location and there was plenty of space for people to hang. Tony was a great host. He greeted us the first day and was easy to contact when/if needed. We would definitely stay here again. 
1221070,47170203,2015-09-16,3605326,Crystal,"The Little Loft is located in a great location, very central to all the coolness that is South Austin. We loved the innovative touches that made this small space feel spacious. Tony was a great host and very responsive to any questions that came up. "
1221070,47985579,2015-09-22,7918039,Sara-Clare,"Tony was an amazing host! Met us to give the keys and explained the places to see and do stuff in Austin. 
The loft was spotless and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!"
1221070,48722632,2015-09-28,41415063,Michelle,Our stay at the little loft was great! It was our first time using Airbnb and we weren't disappointed. The location of Tony's place was in a safe neighborhood AND it was close to many shops and restaurants. The place was very clean and full of things we might use through out our stay. He was very attentive and always responded to any questions or concerns we had within minutes. Definitely would recommend and most likely book again. Thanks for the awesome experience!
1221070,50429768,2015-10-12,33976935,Laura,"He has a perfect description of and directions to the property. It's very quiet. My kids loved the loft. Tony is very communicative, gracious, and available - you know, like when your kids lock you out without a key. ;)

Plenty of parking.

The property is within walking distance of a full grocery store and great taco place.

3710494,17659109,2014-08-15,17989838,Amy,"Doug was quite polite and generous with his home.  I was his first airbnb guest and I think his home is amazing.  I am dog friendly so his 2 dogs were a treat as well.  I can not think of anything better and hope to stay here again.  I will be recommending it as well, if he continues to offer it for rent."
3710494,24678885,2015-01-01,3125049,Imran,Doug was a great person to rent from. His house was amazing and he was helpful every step of the way. I would thoroughly recommend renting from him and hope to again in the future. NYE 2014 will live long in the memory. 
3710494,27921750,2015-03-15,8338514,Hiroki,Doug is a great host. We really enjoyed staying at the property with an incredible view of the river.
3710494,28697848,2015-03-29,25467237,Joseph,"There isn't enough to say about Doug, his hospitality, and his incredible home. The house had more than enough space both inside and outside for a large group of friends visiting Austin. The house itself is beautiful, but you may not want to go back inside once you step out onto the deck. The 180 degree views of Lake Austin and surrounding areas aren't to be beat. The double deck pool and various outdoor sitting areas are amazing...just perfect for any group. Enjoy the sunset over the hills and water, shoot some pool in the main room, hang out on the deck or in the pool - you won't want to leave this property. Doug was extremely helpful throughout the rental process and even reachable for periodic questions during our visit.  When I go back to Austin there's only one place I want to stay.  "
3710494,31170380,2015-05-03,27268598,Lyle,"We arrived at Texas Tuscany to a fully stocked fridge and a beaming sun over Lake Austin.  The location was perfect on the hills of the river and a short Uber ride to the city of Austin.

The property easily accomodated 12 of us and the kitchen was great for entertaining.  Grill, pool, parking, hot tub, deck and scenery were all outstanding.  

A trip I'll never forget."
3710494,33080979,2015-05-25,28705771,Matthew,Doug's house is an amazing gem located in a great part of Austin.  You will have an unforgettable stay at his home! 
3710494,34304567,2015-06-07,31811157,Megan,"Doug was incredibly accommodating and welcoming.  This property is absolutely amazing.  We hosted a bachelorette party with 10 people for the weekend, and we all felt completely comfortable and excited to be there.  The two pools are fantastic, and the outdoor views are breathtaking.  That, and the property's proximity to downtown and the lake, made this an unforgettable weekend. "
3710494,42849333,2015-08-16,33909710,Jeff,The house was amazing and Doug was a pleasure to coordinate with. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great weekend in Austin!
3710494,50270952,2015-10-11,35652022,Linda,"Gorgeous, immaculate home in a lovely neighborhood.  Unparalleled views of Lake Austin and the sunset over the lake.  Beautiful pool and outdoor spaces.  Close proximity to downtown Austin and the lake.  Very comfortable for nine guests - lots of lovely indoor space.  Host made arrival and departure very easy and welcoming.  Thanks to our host, we had a luxurious and very special weekend in Austin at his 5-star Texas Tuscany home.  Thank you so much!  "
3710494,51006488,2015-10-17,30917008,Patricia,"
Doug was always quick to respond to my many inquiries."
949832,28128509,2015-03-18,22017173,Ashley,"We had a wonderful experience at Matthew's cottage. It's clean, has great light, quiet, and charming. "
949832,28708993,2015-03-29,27203858,Rheanna,"The house was a great place in a perfect location - we were able to walk to restaurants, food carts, shops, and bars in South Congress with ease.  Check in was simple, with instructions on appliances/TV, and recommendations for local spots.  The house itself is beautiful, with a great back yard, and a fairly quiet neighborhood.  It was also close to the airport, which was a plus.  We had six in our party (3 couples), and each couple got a separate sleeping space, so it worked out well!  Next time we make it to Austin, we will definitely look for this house/host again!  Highly recommended!"
949832,29174665,2015-04-05,1827642,Marlene,"Very comfortable place, clean, very nicely designed -- .easy walk to south congress.  All needs were taken care if...would highly recommend..no complaints!"
949832,30672115,2015-04-26,27845547,Brennan,"The listing description was accurate and the neighborhood was PERFECT! The only thing to note - the upstairs bed is a deluxe air mattress. It's comfortable, but not a springform mattress."
949832,31222301,2015-05-03,14001845,Stephen,"Our party of 6 had a great stay in Matthew's bungalow. It was clean, spacious and full of character. The backyard was great and the firepit was an awesome bonus. Matthew was  an excellent host; he was responsive when we had questions and was very accommodating. Highly recommended!"
949832,49600475,2015-10-05,8303070,Ali,"Had a great stay with 5 other girls! House was perfect and everyone really loved it! Had everything we needed and really appreciated the detailed instructions on what we could use in the house and where to find it. The kitchen and living room was great for cooking breakfast, lounging out and watching net flicks all morning. The house also had interesting artwork and decor plus a pet turtle who we enjoyed watching swim around. Great stay and would recommend!!"
1721282,10885028,2014-03-11,3511306,Jim,"Had a great stay at The Casita. Very close to the city while also tucked away in the hills around Austin in a beautiful area. Highly recommended and will be back the next time I'm in Austin. 

Couple of notes about the place:
1. Loved having a wood burning stove!
2. Bathroom was larger than expected.
3. Deck was great for morning coffee and reading.
4. Nice walking trail on the property and a zip line (which we didn't use).

Was also very happy to meet Gretchen and look forward to seeing her again when we are back."
1721282,11009911,2014-03-17,11981984,Lizz,"The Casita is such a nice and quiet place to stay. You really don't feel like you are anywhere near a big city, yet you are a 7 minute drive to downtown Austin. Gretchen and Rana are so nice and accommodating. This is a great option for 1-2 people who want to be near downtown but able to escape the quiet and beauty of Austin's hills."
1721282,26192875,2015-02-06,26763569,Christopher,"The Casita is *perfect*. Whether you're working in the city or staying for pleasure, this spot is fantastic. Hidden away in Westlake, you're surrounded by the woody hill-country but still just minutes from downtown and other amenities.

I stayed in February during a relatively chilly week (for this area, at least), but I was more than comfortable in the Casita. Rana made sure to leave the heaters running for my arrival, and the wood-burning stove was an absolute delight to sit next to and work.

Will stay again!"
1721282,26506861,2015-02-14,26763569,Christopher,"I've stayed in the Casita several times now!

Always a pleasant and relaxing stay, thanks in great part to the fantastic location of the home and the extremely hospitable nature of Gretchen and Rana!"
1721282,28052704,2015-03-16,1727726,Thomas,"Gretchen was very responsive and welcoming. If you're looking for a lovely and relaxing place to rest outside of the city (~10mins drive), this is the place. 

The walk around the property to the creek, not to mention the old-school fireplace, the open view overlooking the property and the outdoor balcony was very charming -- even better than advertised and very unique! The bed was very comfortable, though the only comment I'd mention is that its wooden frame can make it a bit squeaky. Bottom line, I'd definitely recommend Gretchen's place to a friend!"
1721282,28682005,2015-03-28,26763569,Christopher,"Staying at Gretchen's was fantastic as usual.

A real Austin gem!!"
1721282,49269419,2015-10-02,11697137,Derek,"What a lovely place to stay! The Casita is tucked in under the trees that abound in Westlake Hills. Perched on a hillside behind the main house, with a wall of windows, it is a great place for a home base while you're visiting Austin. It's close to downtown and yet feels secluded. Gretchen is a friendly and gracious host. The hot tub and pool really completed it for us.

We will definitely be staying here again for future visits to Austin!"
5458673,28229025,2015-03-20,6593041,Jared,"Wade new place is beautiful. It is in a great neighborhood that is convenient to downtown Austin, East Austin and other local favorites. Wade went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable and set up for an excellent stay. This was one of my better Airbnb experiences to date. Would definitely stay again."
5458673,28288653,2015-03-21,6593041,Jared,"Everything was great, would highly recommend to others."
5458673,28847835,2015-03-30,6593041,Jared,Everything was great again.  Wade was able to accommodate me worth last minute notice when other accommodations fell through.
5458673,30271798,2015-04-19,16440675,Garland,"This place was absolutely perfect! I had a reservation fall through the day of and Wade was very accommodating with my last minute reservation. The space is large, clean, and comfortable, even more beautiful than it looks on the listing!  Very close to I-35 and downtown with some great restaurants close by. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
5458673,30584668,2015-04-24,5476271,Beaudry,"Gorgeous space. Extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean, and perfectly located close to Hillside Farmacy and Quickie Pickie. Wade was welcoming, friendly and super-considerate. I've stayed at a bunch of Airbnbs in Austin, and this tops the lot."
5458673,31661165,2015-05-08,138601,Cailin,"Wade's place is wonderful! It's a beautifully designed, light-filled apartment in a fantastic neighborhood within easy walking distance of great bars and restaurants. Check-in was a very easy process. We stayed for just one night, but it was perfect. Thank you, Wade! "
5458673,32839229,2015-05-22,5476271,Beaudry,"Super-clean, super-comfortable, super-awesome. Wade is an incredibly responsive and communicative host. All-round great spot."

5458673,46031448,2015-09-07,31528386,Amir,Wade is an excellent host. He worked with us for a convenient check in and was flexible for the check out. The apartment is tastefully done and is in a very good location. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Wade!
5458673,47834743,2015-09-21,42730821,Vincent,Great host.  Available when needed.  Location was ideal east austin.  Walking distance to some local restaurants.

5458673,51075085,2015-10-17,2274448,Laura,Wade was a good host with super easy checkin and checkout and gave us lots of privacy! His place is ultra modern and sleek! Felt brand new! 
5458673,52207473,2015-10-27,3215051,Joanne,"The accommodation was in a good area, not too far from Austin city centre.
It was also in an excellent condition, with all the facilities modern and new.
Wade was a great host and I would definitely recommend this property."
3489850,25430740,2015-01-16,18061560,Daniel,"Katherine is a fantastic host!  Very welcoming.  I called the hayloft my home base in Austin for almost 5 months.  What a fantastic location in the heart of SoCo.  Walk to food trucks, great restaurants and all kinds of entertainment.  The hayloft is just like Austin...one of a kind.  If you're looking for a good amount of space close to downtown in a quiet but funky residential neighborhood where there's always something going on, the hayloft is the place to be!!"
3489850,25618409,2015-01-20,270856,Jeffrey,"The Hayloft is a fantastic way to experience Austin. It's a unique space that exemplifies the delightfully eccentric spirit of the city. Well-equipped with whimsical flourishes. The location is ideal for guests who want some local flavor while still being close to the city center. We met Kat only briefly, but she was an organized and accommodating host. Highly recommend this place- just make sure you can maneuver the ladder or spiral stairs!"
3489850,26020236,2015-02-01,4044016,John,"Lovely neighborhood in near-south Austin! I've lived here before and used the Hayloft as a home base for moving back, so that speaks to its desirability. The chickens and bunnies made for fun mornings. The interior design is lovely, and the back patio was cozy in the rain and a great place to work when it was warm and sunny out. Be sure to review the photos to understand the layout of the place!"
3489850,27208929,2015-02-28,5124553,Joel,"Nice neighbourhood, great place, helpful with local recommendations and flexible checkin time."
3489850,27469250,2015-03-05,27245093,Brett,Beautiful property with a warm and inviting charm to it.  It is located within walking distance of a lot of great restaurants and shops on Congress and 1st street areas.  Kat was very accommodating and I would definitely stay again.
3489850,28049132,2015-03-16,2421215,Daniel,"Kat was super responsive, and the check-in process was great. Nice little welcome gifts fresh from the farm. I very much enjoyed my stay at the Hayloft. The area is very central, just 5 minutes by car to the city, in a great, old neighborhood, close to excellent restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend this place! "
3489850,28911880,2015-03-31,29835253,Jessica,"Excellent location, within walking distance for family of four (including 6 and 8 year old children) to visit First Street food trucks, Congress Ave bridge to view bats.  Short drive to other areas and convenient.  Neighborhood peaceful and friendly.  Our children looked forward to visiting with the rabbits and chickens everyday.  Did not realize from the photos that only inside access to the loft was via a ladder, stairs are outside.  Overall a lovely rental and we would rebook in future."
3489850,29173485,2015-04-05,13000318,Caleb,Beautiful place in a great neighborhood! 
3489850,29778322,2015-04-12,28970987,Kevin,"Our stay was excellent. Kat responded quickly when I had a question about the rental agreement. Toiletries were high end, brita pitcher in the fridge, everything was perfectly clean. Things of note that are not necessarily clear from the listing but certainly were not a bother to us - there is no sink in the bathroom, you use the kitchen sink with a small make-up mirror mounted to the kitchen shelves (was not an issue at all, just not obvious from the listing), and access to the loft upstairs is either from the spiral staircase outside or via the awkward, vertical ladder inside. This was only an issue when getting out of the shower and going upstairs to dress. I wasn't going to take the outside stairs with just a towel around my waist, but that ladder (which can be seen on the right hand side of picture 8 looking into the bathroom) is pretty uncomfortable to use with no shoes. We also had our friend who lives in Austin come pick us up to show us some sights, and she had her 5 month old puppy with her on a leash. We wanted to show her the place, but were respectful to the property and one of us stayed outside with the dog. The dog was there for less than 10 minutes, but it still prompted a conversation with the front house tenant. Just be aware that the no pets policy is rather strict. These things did NOT take away from our stay in any sort of significant way, and I would absolutely re-book here, I only include them to give a full picture. The hayloft exceeded our expectations, and I almost feel bad putting anything even remotely negative in the review - if it was a star system it would still receive 5 stars."
3489850,30096456,2015-04-17,5553220,Adrienne,The hayloft was perfect for a girls' trip getaway. It was relaxing and beautifully decorated. It was a quiet neighborhood but within walking distances to almost everything. We have a great time and hope we can stay there again!
3489850,30309230,2015-04-20,27741832,Jesse,"The Hayloft is a charming garden oasis retreat located in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and bars and is ideally located to downtown Austin. This rental is perfect for a couple looking for a quiet romantic place to stay while they explore all the awesomeness Austin has to offer.  Other than an oven and bathroom sink the Hayloft is equipped with everything you need during your stay and we were pleasantly surprised to also see a hair dryer, a french press and Brita water filter. The bed was very comfortable and I highly recommend utilizing the Hydroflow pillows!

 The surrounding yard is shared with the front house tenant (who is very friendly and accommodating) and is lined with colorful and fragrant flowers, vegetables, herbs and fruit trees.  We enjoyed spending the mornings eating fresh loquots and drinking coffee in backyard garden with the company of chickens, little chicks, and 4 cuddly bunnies.  Being a gardener and a person who enjoys the company of all animals I felt right at home.

While we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, I would not recommend this location to anyone with young children or mobility restrictions as you can only reach the loft via a completely vertical ladder (which is a little painful to go up and down) or the outside spiral staircase. However, this in no way detracted from our experience, but I think it’s important to mention."
3489850,31824474,2015-05-10,811008,Erika,"We had a great time staying at Kat's loft style cottage! It is super cute and furnished with hip decorations. We got a kick out of climbing the ladder to the loft and spent a couple lovely lazy afternoons reading books on the covered balcony while it rained. (Note: I would only recommend using the ladder if you are in good physical shape- if not, stick to the outdoor stairs!) The place was very clean, and Kat's directions for checking in/out were clear and easy. She was available if we had questions but we only saw her in passing once (she seemed very friendly and normal!). The neighborhood is awesome- walking distance to several top notch coffee shops (even by SF standards), restaurants, and food trucks. It is a 5-10 minute drive to downtown Austin and within 15 minutes of pretty much anywhere you might want to go in the greater Austin area. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Austin."
3489850,33250382,2015-05-26,6741506,Brian,"Out-and-out the best Airbnb I've stayed in to date. It's that ideal combination of comfortable, a little out of the ordinary, well-located, and pretty perfectly previewed in the listing. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. The entire place is clean and well-kept. And the couch is perfect for the naps you'll need after a long night out. Also, bunnies. Out your window. 

A special extra mention needs to be made for the location. We stayed three days and walked nearly everywhere. South 1st and South Congress are both in easy walking distance. Food, coffee, booze, and sight-seeing are all insanely close. I've stayed in Austin before but mostly been downtown. This neighborhood is unquestionably cooler, and the only area I'll ever stay in on return visits.  "
3489850,52205394,2015-10-27,30208954,Anne,"We had a lovely time staying here! Kat made us feel very welcome and was so responsive to our needs! The home was immaculate, cozy and inviting! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was superb! The property is close to some wonderful restaurants, we dined at Sway which was fabulous! A new favorite for us both! A very authentic Austin experience! "
895403,3475809,2013-02-04,4834625,Jim,"This is a great little place. It's an easy drive to the downtown attractions. Clean comfortable and quiet, I felt at home. The thoughtful design makes this home feel larger than it is."
895403,3520737,2013-02-11,4834625,Jim,The second time around was just as nice. It was just what I was looking for.
895403,3594593,2013-02-20,1373084,Barry,"My daughter and I had a great stay at Adam and Sabine's cabin. Cabin is in great condition, clean, great appliances, and all at a great price. The views are nice, and the porch is great for taking in the sunrise/sunset, and for stargazing at night. I will definitely stay here again in the future."
895403,3681053,2013-03-03,5245313,Brandy,"BEAUTIFUL area of Austin. Drive 8 miles or so and see the Capital :) Wholefoods was not far at all!! 
Quiet area but close to everything. 

Enjoyed my time ... coffee on the front porch, comfy loft bed, great kitchen, and very nice people to rent from!! 

I highly recommend staying here for a while. "
895403,3717339,2013-03-07,5166047,Lisa,"The cottage was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed getting outside of the city for a few nights. The back patio had a great view of the sunset and was wonderful for looking up at the stars. The place felt cozy and at the same time much more spacious than the square footage would lead you to believe.

We'd definitely consider staying here again on any more trips we make to Austin! "
895403,3734286,2013-03-09,5350506,Steve,"When I first arrived I was a little worried, I thought that I had died and gone to heaven and did not get the opportunity to tell my friends and family goodbye. This place is really that great. Highest recommendat"
895403,3761723,2013-03-12,4742110,Dan,"This was a beautiful space on expansive land. Waking up every morning and looking out at the Texas prairie made my SXSW experience significantly better. The little cottage was wonderful, and the bath-and-body stuff inside the medicine cabinet was a welcome surprise, as was the two bottles of Shiner Boch in the fridge. Showed photos of this place to tons of people during SXSW and everyone agreed: I won on my rental."
895403,3782538,2013-03-14,1160324,Kristin,Adam and Sabine's cottage was the perfect place for my boyfriend and me to stay. It wasn't too far from downtown Austin and couldn't have been any cuter! I will definitely be staying there again when I'm back in Austin.
895403,3882294,2013-03-24,5419327,Cade,"After week 1 of staying at the Cottage I couldn't be happier! My girlfriend and I are able to stay in a great house, in a great location for a reasonable price. The cottage is set up perfectly! It is so nice to know that there are still people in this world like Adam and Sabine who will help out young people in need of a nice affordable place  while looking for work. Thanks Adam and Sabine looking forward to another week!"
895403,3952711,2013-03-30,5419327,Cade,Another great week! The Cottage grew on us while we were there...just a wonderful place that we hated to leave. We will definitely be staying here again when we're in Austin. Thanks Adam and Sabine! 
895403,4010049,2013-04-02,3114254,Jeff,"We were looking for a place that was away from it all but close to town and this is it.  It was quite, clean and nice.  Our dog loved it and we were glad we could bring him.  It felt like we had escaped and could relax, but we were also a quick drive into town.  Adam and Sabine were very accommodating and nice.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat.  "
895403,4100406,2013-04-09,1653033,Joy,"LOVED IT!!! DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK THIS AMAZING COTTAGE! I can't say enough positive words about this rental and Adam and Sabine!!!! They should win an airbnb award of excellence! I will never be happy in a hotel again! This is soooooooooooooo much better! The place was EXTREMELY CLEAN and very well organized! Plenty of storage space for your things. Excellent kitchen and bathroom (this is one of the best showers I've ever taken while traveling). I only saw Heidi and Alex for a brief time one day but they are wonderful, friendly respectful, well trained, dogs (they were instant caretakers and friends to my small dogs!). It was so nice to be out where you can see the stars and look at the central Texas landscape rather than just all the cars and hipsters in the Austin City limits. Please support these good people and what they have to offer travelers! THANK YOU ADAM AND SABINE!"
895403,4163430,2013-04-15,2878734,Amelia,"What a gem!  My husband and I just wanted an easy getaway from the city, and this fit the bill perfectly.  It's so secluded and beautiful, yet only 10-15 minutes to the City to grab dinner and hit up farmers markets.  The cabin was meticulously clean, and the decor and layout was very relaxing.  Having morning coffee and afternoon beers on the back porch, overlooking the hill of Oak trees and roaming cattle, was absolutely wonderful.  Having a fully equipped kitchen was fantastic for making breakfast- especially since the kitchen was actually bigger than the one we have at home!  :)  The loft bed was comfortable and cozy, but my sneezing fits make me think the pillows were made of a feather/down blend (so if you're allergic, be sure to bring an alternative).  Plenty of storage and a nice full shower- better than most local hotels.  The only thing missing was a radio or iPod player.. but thank goodness we had an old 8track radio in the trunk of the car, since it made the porch sitting a little more entertaining.  Will be recommending this to all of our Austin friends who just want an easy weekend escape.  "
895403,4267818,2013-04-23,5237226,Andrew,Beautiful little cabin. Very peaceful location. Would stay here again next time I'm in Austin if it is available. Adam and Sabine are very friendly people. They are also very accommodating.
895403,4362497,2013-04-30,652400,Rachel,"Adam and Sabine's cottage is a wonderful little retreat. It sits on a large, pretty piece of land with cactus, flowers, and lots of sky! The porch is the perfect place to sit and drink a cup of coffee or a beer and look out at the beauty. 

The inside is very cute and VERY cozy. As others have said - it's small. But it's thoughtfully laid out and doesn't feel cramped. As they mention, the bathroom is not separated by a door - just a curtain. But, if needed, privacy is easily achieved by sending your traveling partner out onto the porch to admire the view!

The location is perfect too - just far enough from everything to feel like you're in the country, but very convenient to the airport and everything else you might want to do. 
"
895403,4422665,2013-05-04,5724519,Julie,"I absolutely loved staying at Adam and Sabine's adorable microhome!  It was private and out in the beautiful countryside yet still minutes from downtown Austin.  The place is very clean, comfortable and has everything you need.  Adam and Sabine were very helpful and attentive as well.  If I ever need a place to crash again... they will be the first people I call!  Thanks!!"
895403,4440548,2013-05-05,677344,Chris,"The place is really fantastic and not nearly as small as ""micro"" seems to imply. Everything you can possibly need in a great, efficient package, on a pretty amazing spread of land. Highly recommended."
895403,4637539,2013-05-17,5821739,Karrie,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and a large part of that wonderful time was the place we stayed at.  The darling cottege was very clean, had a beautiful view and a super friendly owner.  We will definetly come back to Austin at some point and if the place is available we would definefly stay there again. "
895403,4745011,2013-05-23,3259411,Matthew & Jessica,"Adam and Sabine's unique and comfortable cottage was the perfect place to spend a week in and around the Austin area! It's far enough outside of the city proper that you'll feel like you are vacationing in the country, but close enough that it is a short drive to anything you'd care to do in the city. We would definitely make a return visit in the future."
895403,4942028,2013-06-03,6017889,Karen,"Beautiful property, adorable and comfortable cottage. We stayed here with 3 animals and had plenty of room. It was close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away to feel secluded. I'd definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone. "
895403,5215986,2013-06-18,6587094,Susan,"We loved staying here. I was surprised at how spacious it feels for a microhome. You can tell a lot of care went into the planning and decorating of the home, and for the comfort of guests.  

The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need, and we had a great time cooking on the grill and relaxing on the patio.  The home is very well insulated and cools down quickly, which was very nice to come back to after being out in the heat all day.  "
895403,5284085,2013-06-22,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,"The micro house feels large.  There is a full kitchen and a large bathroom (no door) area.  The sleeping loft is very comfortable.  I would stay here again.  The views are great and I enjoyed having a mini house to stay in during my visit.  You will need a car for this location.   I would stay here again!  Everything was very easy, and the hosts were great."
895403,5328180,2013-06-24,6885168,Shelby,We loved staying here for the weekend! Very cute and cozy on the inside with a great view outside. We loved sitting on the back patio to relax. I hope we're able to stay here again on our next visit. 
895403,5358063,2013-06-25,821417,Ryan,My stay here was great! I have already recommended this place to friends.  If your looking for a place to get away for the weekend but still be close to Austin this is the place for you!  I would definitely stay here again.
895403,5494302,2013-07-02,6243845,Tony,"Fantastic place to stay! It had everything I needed and then some! The property is gorgeous, and while it's out of the way it's definitely close enough to everything you want to get to in Austin. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice little place to stay, what a great bargain!"
895403,5580602,2013-07-07,6451353,Adam,Wonderful place! Beautiful views and very comfortable. Close enough to the city but just far enough away to relax. If we go back to Austin we will stay here again. 
895403,5795577,2013-07-16,2731530,Andrew,Every year we use airbnb for our annual anniversary trip to Austin. We have stayed at some great places but this one has set the bar. Adam was an exceptional host and he has some awesome dogs! The house was extremely clean and well thought out in design. Mid July and stayed cool as cucumbers day and night. The property is perfect we left the car and took bikes into town stayed all day then rode back...it was perfect!  This Is a perfect spot for adventurers like us or someone looking for a nice quite getaway everything is just minuets from your doorstep. Odds are we will be booking again next year if we are so lucky. Thanks Adam see ya next year! 
895403,5895877,2013-07-21,7380296,Hilary,"Very cute place for good price. Nice view of Austin, and especially good if you're looking to stay outside of the Austin madness while visiting the city. Adam and Sabine are both very helpful. "
895403,5986517,2013-07-25,5703795,Frank,"It's a very cool experience if you've never stayed in a micro-home before.  It was very neat, clean and quiet.  And extremely private - not a neighbor in sight.  "
895403,6519608,2013-08-15,2179644,Hannah,"Staying here really was what made this trip as enjoyable as it was. The drive to Austin from the cottage was easy, no matter where we were headed. But on the same point it was great if you to get a feel for a real ""Texas"" landscape.
Adam and Sabine were great hosts, even accommodating our 1:00 a.m. check in. We met Adam in person, and he was super friendly offering suggestions of what to do in town.
The cottage itself was nicer than any cabin I've stayed in, despite being micro. Comfy bed, hot shower, cold air conditioner, full kitchen and a porch with a great view. My husband and I loved it!"
895403,6592691,2013-08-18,1648943,Lauren,"Adam and Sabine's place was the perfect secluded getaway my husband and I were looking for.  The cottage may look small in the photos, but it's very roomy with plenty of space for both of us to feel at home (he's 6'4"").  They were very easy to communicate with and super helpful while planning our trip.  They conveniently had fresh towels (we forgot them), a coffee pot with grounds, and full sets of cups/plates/utensils for us.  Sabine was so great; shortly after our arrival, we were locked out, so she came out in the middle of a thunder storm to help us out!! How awesome is that?! We were disappointed to not meet their dogs, but maybe next time. ;)  

We had a great time and definitely plan to return! "
895403,6637658,2013-08-19,7991455,Nicole,"The place was just as cozy, comfy and nice as it looks in the photos. I only stayed one night but I'd definitely stay at the cottage again on a return trip to Austin. Adam and Sabine were extremely responsive to any request and even gave some great recommendations of places to check out nearby. "
895403,6828217,2013-08-26,8116357,Brandon,"We arrived late into Austin but Adam and Sabine made accomodations for us. Cottage was very clean and well kept. Very peaceful and quiet. They left us the essentials anybody would need, couldn't ask for better quality for the also great price. Thanks Adam and Sabine! "
895403,7014721,2013-09-03,1091367,Justin,We couldn't have been happier with this beautifully constructed and modern little house. I would recommend this to friends and family for both short and long-term stays in Austin. 
895403,7105089,2013-09-06,8493620,Leah,"I absolutely loved staying in this tiny cabin. My husband and I have been interested in small spaces for a long time and it was really cool to check it out. It's beautifully furnished, private, yet an easy drive to Austin. Adam and Sabine were quick to answer any questions and were super friendly."
895403,7182169,2013-09-09,2466374,Eric,The Mini House was amazing and just the right distance from the city for my wife and I.  We brought along our pup and they even provided us with a kennel to keep her in.  This place provided my wife and I just the relaxation that we needed.  
895403,7285852,2013-09-14,4314151,Candace,Sabine and Marc were super easy to work with! Two thumbs up : )
895403,7526133,2013-09-23,1094240,Tracy,"Adam and Sabines place was fantastic. Very quiet and well equipped. We arrived late in the evening and a key was left for us, although Adam was there to welcome us too. 
Would definitely stay there again if I have an opportunity to travel to Austin. "
895403,7605007,2013-09-26,8210055,Adam,"We loved our stay at the Little House on the Hill. Adam and Sabine were great hosts, and we had no problems while staying there. It was nice to be able to spend the days in downtown Austin and then return to a quiet little house in the evening - all without traveling too far. We would highly recommend the Little House on the Hill to others."
895403,7923956,2013-10-08,1818878,Tammy,Great little cottage just on the edge of town.  We enjoyed the quiet and being able to see ALL of the stars in the sky at night!  Highly recommend this place!  You will not be disappointed!
895403,8112753,2013-10-16,8241974,Kristy,"I opted for something more relaxing and cozy than a hotel this year for my trip to Austin and I'm so happy that I did! My stay at Adam and Sabine's micro house was fantastic. I expected the space to be cool from the photographs but when I arrived I was blown away by how great this place was! It was small, of course, but also had everything you needed. As I was unpacking I found myself awww-ing a bit because of the items that were left there for you to use. It was more like staying at a friends home and having them set things out for you. This house is situated right outside of the city so driving anywhere was super easy and only took me minutes to get downtown. Adam has his workshop right across the drive so if I needed anything, he was there. I couldn't have picked a better place to stay. At the end of the day I always found myself happy to be ""home"" and not at a cold hotel. Thanks so much for the stay and I'm hoping to be back next year!"
895403,8172826,2013-10-19,7116463,Vianey & Bracken,"They where extremely helpful and friendly. The place was perfect, clean and quiet. If your looking for a place in south east Austin this is definitely the place."
895403,8226302,2013-10-21,6885168,Shelby,"This was our second stay at this house and we loved it just as much the second time as we did the first. Great, cozy space. Our go to place for when we come down to Austin. :) "
895403,8330751,2013-10-26,7116463,Vianey & Bracken,"This place was great. They knew some good places to eat and your literally 15 min from down town, but yet out in country over looking south east Austin. "
895403,8377512,2013-10-28,7533414,Ressa,The house on the hill was too cute and convenient! My husband and I loved it!! Adam and Sabine were more than accommodating for our late night arrival and our two pitbulls! We were thrilled to keep our little family together!  I wouldn't stay with anyone I wasn't comfortable with though because you can roll one way in the bed and see the toilet and shower. You definitely can't be afraid of heights to sleep in the bed! Other than that it was perfect and offered every convenience of home! We definitely recommend this place!
895403,8499175,2013-11-03,8676214,Jennifer,"The Little House on the Hill was such a fun place to stay - quiet, clean and just perfect for my trip.  Loved the decor and furnishings, too.  It was only 15-30 minutes from the city, depending on traffic.  Adam & Sabine were willing to assist with recommendations and any help, which I appreciated.  Communication was great, too.  I'll definitely return on a future trip!"
895403,8634343,2013-11-09,3281464,Wendell,"This house was absolutely amazing. Cozy and quiet, with a relaxing country view, yet only a quick 20 minute drive to the city. Both hosts are very cool cats and their dogs have incredible personalities and filled with awesomeocicity. Honestly, theres not one thing bad to say of this place. The simple beauty is just too good to pass up. We will be back for sure!"
895403,9001957,2013-12-01,9792021,Neil,We loved the location and met Adam and the dogs - all great!  The cottage is fabulous and has a great view.  It made a perfect little retreat as we visited our boys over Thanksgiving.
895403,9428288,2013-12-28,10275677,Sarah Jane,"This is a perfect micro house, close to Hwy 71 and the airport and convenient to just about anywhere in Austin or Bastrop. It's set back from the highway and surrounded by some beautiful fields--very peaceful.  Perfect views of the sunrises and sunsets.  It's well appointed with everything you could possibly need.  Adam and Sabine are the perfect hosts (and their dogs are awesome). Will definitely be returning next Austin visit."
895403,10000838,2014-01-24,11348268,John,"Awesome place.  Scenic property,  plenty of privacy... and just minutes from the airport!  Great tv, shower works very well, parking pad pulls right up next to the front door.  Really enjoyed talking with Adam about his vision for bnb, very good to work with since this was my first time using this site. Emails from Sabine were super responsive,  and I was able to get a' hold of Adam very easily over the phone to answer some of my questions. Side note,  they have two beautiful German Shepherds... They don't mess with any guests,  but really friendly If you want to pet em. Fantastic host/house... ill be back!  "

895403,10259202,2014-02-10,9930033,Rachel,This house could not be cuter or more comfortable. We completely felt at home and were able to relax! Staying at this tiny home was such a fun experience! Adam and Sabine have thought of everything when it comes to hospitality and providing anything you could need or want. This is a perfect place if you are just wanting to get away from it all and still want to be 20 min away from civilization! :) 
895403,10349773,2014-02-15,11342884,Vicki,Love this place!
895403,10463188,2014-02-20,2358376,Kellie,"The micro house was charming functional and so perfect for our stay!!! Close enough to downtown, yet we so enjoyed the privacy and comfort of the back deck once back on the ""hill"". The views of the sunset and the city were wonderful. Adam was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend their place!!!"
895403,10638347,2014-03-01,11342884,Vicki,Great place!  Very peaceful.
895403,10720074,2014-03-04,11657318,April,"The Little House on the Hill was one of the highlights of our trip to Austin. Adam and Sabine provided everything we needed, the tiny house was clean and adorable, it was close enough to Austin but also far enough to feel relaxed and away from the concrete jungle. Their dogs were very friendly and our pup enjoyed playing with them.  This was our first time traveling with our dog and they made it so easy.  I would absolutely recommend this place and stay again their again myself."
895403,10772927,2014-03-06,11067155,Kelley,"The Little House on the Hill is amazing! We had such a restful stay in this lovely little home. The house is clean, well decorated and is located in a beautiful spot, where you feel like you're outside of the city, but you're close to everything. Adam was a great host. We would LOVE to come back here again! "
895403,10802223,2014-03-08,12332139,David,"The little house on the hill was perfect! Exactly as pictured, but pictures don't do the view justice.  Everything you need is there including shampoo conditioner or soap in case you forget.  Adam was very helpful in recommending places to eat as well.  Thanks Adam The Salt Lick was amazing! I will definitely stay here again.  "
895403,10870444,2014-03-10,12847765,Kaley,Adorable little house. Quiet and serene. Perfect getaway for two.
895403,10950139,2014-03-14,12883116,Shelby,"We had a great time staying at the Little House on the Hill. The house is exactly as shown in the pictures and description, and very accessible to Austin. It is outside of the city, but only a 15-20 minute drive in and we never had traffic like the northern suburbs seem to get. The home is certainly cozy, but very inline with the description and very private. Adam and all his dogs are very friendly too!"
895403,10989544,2014-03-16,11183751,April,"My stay was warm and enjoyable. The cozy home provided great amenities that made my stay feel so much more comfortable such as cookware, eating utensils, a television as well as DVD player. Adam was kind and was seen working in his shed on occasion, however, he never invaded our privacy. In such an isolated area it's nice to see a familiar face. Although the location is secluded it was no trouble at all to get around the city. It was also nice to wake up, step out on the great deck and take in such a peaceful view of Austin.

895403,11263925,2014-03-27,12403663,Kaitlin,"The Little House on the Hill was perfect for our getaway to Austin.  With just a quick car ride from the city, the location was lovely and there were beautiful views of the countryside with the city off in the distance.  The house had everything we needed to cook in and even grill if we wanted - make use of the porch if the weather is nice!  Yes it's small but it was comfortable for two people and extremely clean and nice.  If we go back to Austin we would definitely stay here again!"
895403,11380314,2014-03-31,7181361,Bruce,It was great and we had a great time with Piggy!
895403,11456333,2014-04-03,6696003,Gillie,Adam and Sabine have set up a great little house just outside of Austin. I made good use of the porch during my stay. Thanks again!
895403,11580386,2014-04-08,8401750,Priscilla,"That little house had everything we needed for our stay, it's nicely decorated and the location is a short 10 minute drive from downtown Austin. Waking up to the neighbors cows by the fence was a nice surprise!"

895403,12022502,2014-04-21,1555683,Pat,"Great place and a great value.  They really know how to run a proper Airbnb rental.  Good quality linens, dishes, etc.  "
895403,12194858,2014-04-25,13006154,Lauren,"I loved this little place! It was a perfect fit for me and my needs. I was a lone traveler with a car looking for a nice, clean, private place to crash at a reasonable rate. The house is tiny, but very space efficient and beautiful. It's about 15-20 min from the center of Austin, but because I have a car that was not a problem for me. In fact, I preferred staying out in the country. Adam was very friendly when I spoke to him, and checking in and out was easy as pie. The place is in a lovely, rural setting, and has a porch with a great view! I had my coffee out there in the morning. Because its rural, internet connection was not an option, but I was able to make due with my smartphone without issue. "
895403,12309867,2014-04-28,14370678,Paul,"What a great place to stay! We brought our dog for two nights and the place was everything we hoped for and more. It's a little bit of a hike to get in and out of town, but well worth it!"
895403,12617235,2014-05-06,8119710,Nicci,We stayed here over the w/e and it was PERFECT!  We were in town for a music festival and the house's location was a convenient drive to the festival and all the downtown fun.  What you see is what you get and it's GREAT for a romantic get-a-way.  The cabin is clean and cozy.  It's easy to get to and still has a very private feel.  We highly recommend it! Adam and Sabine are welcoming and very easy to work with.  Gemma ROCKS too!  :)
895403,12860396,2014-05-12,9173316,Josephine,"The little house on the hill was everything my boyfriend and I hoped it would be and more. It was super quiet and peaceful and the dogs came up with a very warm greeting.  The view from the back patio is beautiful, the floor plan is laid out just right, and we got a good night's rest. I would definitely love to stay there again!"
895403,13018789,2014-05-17,14335857,Emilie,Great place to stay! I stayed here while my apartment wasn't ready to move in and it was convenient and saved me a ton of money over a hotel. Super nice hosts. 
895403,13104432,2014-05-19,15134729,Micah,"It was PERFECT!!!

My fiance and I were looking for a place to stay that was all inclusive (full kitchen, shower, bed, etc.) and close to the city but still out in the country so we could have a nice, isolated romantic weekend together. 

The house was everything we wanted and more. Its up on a hill with the patio overlooking a large portion of the outskirts of SE Austin. Everything on the inside is very stylish and well kept. Our favorite part was being able to sit out on the patio in the AM and PM everyday with a coffee or beer (respectively lol)  and just enjoy the environment and setting. We were able to go out to dinner in downtown Austin (a short, easy drive away) and stay in and cook for a more romantic evening. 

The Rodger's are very gracious hosts. We only saw Adam while we were there and he is very friendly and helpful if you aren't familiar with the area. His dogs are awesome! We're both huge animal lovers (the first stop we made in Austin was at the AustinPetsAlive!) and both Heidi and Alex are sweet pups! 

Overall we had a great experience and will definitely plan on staying here again next time we're back in Austin!"
895403,13422816,2014-05-27,1373084,Barry,"My daughter and I are return visitors to The Little House on the Hill, and we love it. As usual, the place is perfectly clean and Adam is always available if needed. The porch/deck is a great spot to sit on at sunset and at night, with a nice view out from the hill."
895403,13719178,2014-06-02,8134910,Kerry,"The Little House on the Hill was the perfect spot! Removed enough from the city that you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the land, but close enough to everything you can think of doing in ATX and surrounding areas. Adam and Sabine were extremely accommodating. Assuming they would have us again, we will definitely stay on our future trips to ATX. Amazing little place!"
895403,13794539,2014-06-04,4646710,Brennan,"The tiny house was very homey -- It had a very clean and modern look. Adam was very responsive, great about helping with directions, and greeted us happily at the house. It's about 15-20 minutes from downtown Austin. Would definitely stay again if I find myself in Austin again!"
895403,13919439,2014-06-08,12487362,Cameron,"My wife and I shared our 5th wedding anniversary here and it was perfect! The house is extremely clean and very roomy considering it's size. About a 30 minute drive to downtown Austin, so your close enough to the city, but without the hustle and bustle. We had a great time"
895403,14222903,2014-06-15,11267723,Danielle,"Adam was really friendly and helpful with recommendations for the Austin area.  The location is about 20 minutes from downtown, which we really preferred.  It is nice and quiet there with a beautiful view.  There are 3 sweet dogs on the property.  The house itself had everything we needed and was quite comfortable."
895403,14570722,2014-06-22,16050402,Katie,"This little place is just fantastic.  I used to live in Austin before moving away.  Now I come back regularly for a week at a time for work.  So I feel like I really know what a gem this place is.  You're on the East side of town; it feels like you're tucked away in the hill country, but just 20 minutes to downtown.  And the view from the deck is spectacular.  Adam and Sabine have really made the place homey and they give you your space.  I totally recommend this place :)"
895403,15542536,2014-07-11,6885168,Shelby,This was our third time staying here and it's still awesome! It's within close proximity to everything we want but far enough for the privacy we look for when choosing for a place to stay. Would always recommend this tiny house to anyone headed to Austin. 
895403,16086367,2014-07-22,9311929,Vanessa,The time we spent at the little house on the hill was great. The house is about ten minutes from the airport so we got there in no time. It's located on a Farm to Market road so the gps had difficulty directing us. Adam was more than happy to give us directions over the phone and meet us at the house. The house is the perfect size for a couple or someone traveling alone. The bed is lofted which saves space but I don't think it's the best for anyone above 6ft tall. We didn't really use the kitchen but it was nice to have the option. For a first time visit I'd recommend something closer to the city center but all in all it was a comfortable place to stay while in Austin. 
895403,16876643,2014-08-03,19130084,Dominic,Great place with a very homey vibe. The view is great and the location is not far from downtown or south congress.
895403,17060800,2014-08-06,932058,Aaron,"The house was great and we had a wonderful time staying there for a few days! We loved the location, with the home being close to the airport, but very private on a nice, big lot. It was great to have a clean, private home to stay, and we loved that we had a kitchen that we could cook in. 

Adam and Sabine were very responsive hosts and were quick to respond to any inquiries that we had. However, we didn't have too many inquiries during our visit as everything was provided in the house that we needed."
895403,17111866,2014-08-07,932058,Aaron,"Adam & Sabine were very accommodating and allowed me to make two different reservations back to back so that one of my reservations came under a price thresh-hold that allowed me to pay for the say with credit card miles. We had a great stay at the little house and would love to stay there again some time. Very private, comfortable, and beautiful. Would highly recommend!"
895403,17294400,2014-08-10,5912999,Kim,Loved our stay in the Little House. Great location and very peaceful! Adam was great at giving directions when my googlemap lead me astray!
895403,17442048,2014-08-12,16689778,Jayna,"A wonderful gem in Austin.  Far enough away to escape reality but close enough to see a movie and go out to eat.  The house was clean and cool,  with an AMAZING kitchen.  Adam was helpful with directions and kind to answer any questions.  Highly recommended!"
895403,17864021,2014-08-18,18638138,Garrett,"We had a great experience staying at Adam & Sabine's cozy bungalow. The location is perfect for peace and quiet, yet not too far a drive from everything there is to do downtown/SoCo. The views are fantastic, and the deck is great for enjoying  a morning cup of coffee or a midnight stargaze. The big open yard was great for our dog, and they even provided a crate for him. We couldn't be more pleased with the way our stay went and would definitely recommend The Little House on the Hill to anyone for their stay in Austin. "
895403,18063336,2014-08-21,8618444,Casey,"My stay at the ""Little House on the Hill"" was great. I was looking for a refuge away from the city and it was exactly that. Far enough away to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough to downtown Austin to get quickly to and fro to see friends. I would highly recommend it. "
895403,18411538,2014-08-26,2430899,Virginia,"I stayed in the Little House on the Hill with my husband after moving my daughter into UT Austin.  It's very clean, nicely appointed, cozy.  It's definitely meant for a couple.  I cooked a couple of meals on the nice gas stove, and was able to enjoy the deck in the cool of the morning. 
Adam is a very friendly host, we enjoyed meeting him and talking barbecue spots.  It's a nice place for a relaxing getaway, and just 15 minutes from UT Austin.  "
895403,18840374,2014-09-01,16011005,Jeff,Adam and Sabine were great hosts and The Little House on the Hill was perfect just as I expected. Spent a week in this great location with easy access to all the Austin amenities! Everything was in great condition and very comfortable! Hosts answered every question quickly and were extremely helpful! My first time using Airbnb and an excellent experience with Adam and Sabine!!!
895403,19176721,2014-09-07,5350506,Steve,Second stay here.... Just as wonderful as it was last time.
895403,19340568,2014-09-10,19846011,BeckiJo,Sorry. I cannot leave one because I never got to stay there. Seemed like wonderful people though! 
895403,19344645,2014-09-10,5350506,Steve,Great. Best deal in Austin
895403,19421399,2014-09-12,15483326,Angie And Tyler,The house was (email hidden)per cute and super clean! We enjoyed being a little outside of the city but close enough to head in whenever we felt like it. Really enjoyed coffee on the back porch each morning. Nice and relaxing. 
895403,19600507,2014-09-15,10609425,Kristy,The little house on the hill is charming. I had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights. It was the perfect get away for me not to close to the city but close enough to the airport. I also enjoyed the company of the dogs. I would recommend it!
895403,19926560,2014-09-21,2507881,Barry,House was clean and as advertised.  Worked out great for my stay.  Lots of privacy at this location.  
895403,20294604,2014-09-27,20627178,Dayle,"The house was very clean and ready for us upon arrival. The air conditioning was already on, which was a pleasant suprise on a hot day! The owner greeted us and made us feel welcome. He even gave us tips about what to do in the city during our stay. The little house on the hill was perfect for us. It was close enough for a short drive into the city but remote enough to provide plenty of privacy. "
895403,20769045,2014-10-05,21189223,Jen,Awesome stay. Love the little house concept. Stayed for ACL. Nice and quiet. Not too bad of a drive to the city but it's a different experience if your looking to try something new. Very private. Would stay there again :) 
895403,22015246,2014-10-28,19507911,Jennifer,Really enjoyed staying at the Little House on the Hill!!  Fantastic sunset views and just enough of everything to feel at home!  Adam was very welcoming and helpful.  Perfect place to stay for relaxing quiet time as well as access to Austin city.  Highly recommended :)
895403,22568226,2014-11-09,23373988,Shelly,The house was wonderful and loved the location.  We had a great stay.  The host was very nice and gave us some advice on points of interest. Very happy with our experience.
895403,22726736,2014-11-12,23502858,Alex,"I can't say enough about this place. This tiny house has been the perfect place to call home while I looked for an apartment. The house is lovingly designed and well stocked for cooking. It sits on 4 acres far enough outside of Austin to offer a country vacay feel and great views, but still close enough to drive into town in a quick fifteen minutes

Adam is a responsive and through host. He got back to me super quick on any questions and even came out and helped me change a flat tire! 

I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends!"
895403,22999486,2014-11-19,22002933,Jade,Adam was very friendly and accomodating.
895403,23085778,2014-11-22,7550610,Eric,"Very happy to have found this little place out in the boonies. Close enough to town but fairly quiet out there. Very friendly host lives nearby. Vintage, quite cozy.  Loft bed is a bit of a push if you're not good on a ladder but its not a big deal.  "
895403,23235985,2014-11-26,18304911,Brandon,Adam was awesome! He greeted us when we arrived and made sure we knew we were welcomed. The area was so close to the city and it made driving downtown a treat. The house was so spacious and the amenities were very welcoming as well. 
895403,23389748,2014-11-30,16927013,Derek,"Adam was a great host, and the Little House on the Hill was everything we hoped for and more during our 3 night stay.  We found the house to be very tidy and on a spacious lot, and extremely dog-friendly.  I wouldn't travel and stay in Austin at any other place; all-in-all an outstanding value at $50 a night and we had a great Austin experience largely due to our fortunate choice in renting from Adam.  Plan to stay again on return visits if possible."
895403,24270131,2014-12-24,14297537,Jonathan,"We really enjoyed our stay at The Little House on the Hill. It was wonderful to have the space around us, and downtown Austin is just a short drive away. Our dogs loved being able to romp around at will. When we needed an iron and board Adam was happy to provide one. Great privacy and views."
895403,24427090,2014-12-28,23487622,Susan,"I really liked my stay at The Little House on the Hill.  I felt comfortable from the first minute I walked inside.  It looked just like the pictures that I saw online when I booked it.  It is a cozy spot that allows you a great place to relax and get away, yet it is an easy drive to the local Austin restaurants and shopping centers.  It was just perfect for me!  The weather was rainy and cold so I am looking forward to returning in the spring so I can sit outside and enjoy the porch!

Adam was very helpful and made me feel right at home.  I will highly recommend The Little House on the Hill to everyone I know!  Loved it!

  "
895403,25573732,2015-01-19,25946662,Matthew,"I really enjoyed my stay at the House on the Hill.  The pictures were very accurate, but I found the place even more charming in person.    Although a short drive from great places to see in Austin, you feel like you're really in the country with its absolutely gorgeous view day or night.  Adam was extremely helpful to make sure I was taken care of, and his two German Shepard's were incredibly friendly.  I would recommend this place in an instant and would stay again if in the area. Thanks Adam and Sabine!"
895403,25753770,2015-01-25,25541588,Sydney,"The place was fantastic and everything went smoothly. We very much enjoyed our stay and will definitely take it into consideration if we come back to visit before me move. Otherwise, I will be sure to let anyone know about this great place to stay of they want to come visit."
895403,26007725,2015-02-01,1006465,Tracy,Adam is such a pleasant host. Very helpful and patient. His dogs are amazing. The house is very efficient. Everything you need is right there at your finger tips. Felt like home. The view from the back patio is amazing.
895403,26692083,2015-02-17,26273140,Summer,"The Little House was everything we hoped it would be!   Very clean and tidy, cozy, a hot shower, nice TV, and beautifully decorated! "
895403,27014795,2015-02-23,11980588,Larry,"The Little House on the Hill was Awesome! The area was beautiful and peaceful, we had a fantastic stay.  Adam was available, helpful and friendly; just a great host.  He really made us feel welcome and at ease.  The micro-house was very comfortable and clean, a real positive experience staying in this little place in such a relaxing environment.    "
895403,27920090,2015-03-15,4834625,Jim,"Adam and Sabine were very welcoming. The little house is perfect size for 2 people and laid out efficiently. I like that this house is on the outskirts of town, It gives easy access to both downtown and the country roads. 
 I can't wait to return."
895403,28313994,2015-03-22,5068045,Cheryl,"Place was great. A short trip to downtown, but far enough away to make for a quite getaway. Host was very inviting as were the four legged greeters! Would very much consider a return visit."
895403,28527837,2015-03-25,9930344,Sinead,"My sister and I spent 3 nights in this adorable little house. It was the perfect size for 2 of us. We had no trouble finding the property and check in was very smooth. The drive to the city was also very manageable for us. The deck is perfect for relaxing at all times of the day, with beautiful views. The only downside for me was no wifi- It is tricky to get directions/find restaurants without it. If you have an american phone with data though that is not a problem as there is good cell service. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking for a unique place to rest your head in austin. "
895403,28807581,2015-03-30,26256814,Leslie,"Loved our stay.  Is a really cool place, very comfortable, VERY nicely built, neat decor.  We enjoyed eating our breakfast out on the deck and seeing the stars at night.....Interesting experience in learning how little space you really need given that it is a Micro home.....Communications were timely and helpful.  My hubby had fun talking with Adam.  We LOVED their pups, especially Gemma (liked the others too, just didn't see them as much!).  We will definitely be back."
895403,29202121,2015-04-05,29211255,Darryl,"We really enjoyed our stay. The home was well put together and the kitchen and all the extras that you usually have in your own home was there. It was literally like a home away from home, very peaceful and relaxing with a beautiful evening sky. Adam and Sabine put a lot of thought into this home and it is in my top 10 list of places that I have stayed. I would definitely come back. "
895403,29838389,2015-04-13,5020054,Olmighti,"Adam was a great host, very accommodating and friendly.  He had great recommendations around town.  We were very comfortable in the tiny home, it had everything we needed.  Beautiful property with beautiful views.  Very easy to access downtown (via car).  Great for people traveling with their pets.  Would love to stay there again when we pass through Austin..."
895403,30028443,2015-04-16,8618444,Casey,"My stay was great! Very relaxing and peaceful, but still close enough to Austin to visit friends. The space was clean and comfortable, and their sweet dogs provided me with company on my morning sits on the porch enjoying the beautiful view. "
895403,30446712,2015-04-22,1000211,Alexandra,Clean little house. Hosts were easy to communicate with and we had a nice time.

895403,32970901,2015-05-24,2138600,Michael,"Great little Austin getaway! Fine house on a hill ten min from the airport, fifteen from downtown Austin. If you have a car and like to relax at night on the porch looking over a beautiful vista, this is for you. Adam was a fine host, in touch with all we needed. House has all the basic needs, and is comfy and quiet.  A great bargain overall."
895403,34233039,2015-06-06,33819854,Justice,This little place was just what we needed.  My girlfriend and I stayed here for a week and it offered a nice respite from a day in the city.  Its 20-40 minutes to everywhere.  The view from the top is beautiful.  However I don't recommend going outside at night (the bugs are cray).
895403,34706664,2015-06-11,31587514,Anna,"First thing to note: you need a car! We foolishly didn't get one until two days in. The little house is about 15 miles from downtown. Apart from that, the house is the perfect little place to stay for a couple. The property is peaceful and relaxing. Adam the host is friendly and affable. Would definitely stay here again. With a car haha! "
895403,35421123,2015-06-18,5743156,Taylor,"Adam and Sabine have the cutest little place!!!!  It was perfect for me and my little man Gus, my Persian kitty!  I am so happy I stumbled on to their listing!!!  I love that it was out in the country, away from the city bustle but close enough I was literally anywhere I needed to be in under 20 minutes! I highly recommend staying here! "
895403,35830725,2015-06-22,1513700,Debbie,"Adam and Sabine responded very quickly with the response accepting our request and providing us with the information on how to reach the cabin quickly.  They responded to any inquires that we had almost immediately which allowed us to feel very confident on our trip.
We loved the setting of the cabin, it is close to Austin yet had a very country feel.  The porches allowed wonderful peaceful quiet time.  The skyline is very lovely from the porch.  
The cabin is well appointed and very efficient.  We were very comfortable.  The kitchen has extremely nice appliances and cute dishes as well as an excellent set of cookware.  We did not actually cook anything, but it would have been very simple and pleasant in this kitchen.  The loft bed is comfortable as long as you like a firm bed, which we do.  It was fun climbing the ladder.  
It is well laid out for storage of clothing and gear.
We found the areas of Austin that we were exploring that weekend only a short drive away and you get nice country drives to and from.  "
895403,36407193,2015-06-28,24581225,Jaime,"Great stay, love the pups!"
895403,36830809,2015-07-01,7431130,Chris,Wonderful little house. Very clean and has some beautiful scenery.  The drives into downtown Austin were quick.  Will definitely consider staying again next time I visit Austin. 
895403,37192061,2015-07-05,13141005,Jeremy,This was our first trip to Austin and our stay at the Little House couldn't have made our trip more memorable. It was extremely comfortable and had really great views which we enjoyed every morning while enjoying coffee and breakfast. Our dog might have enjoyed the space more than we did as he had plenty of space to run.
895403,37695916,2015-07-09,35439926,Collin,"The house was just as described, but exceed our expectations. Great hosts. Comfy bed. Many little extras that made our stay that much better."
895403,38389769,2015-07-15,1238890,Kristin,What a perfect place! We fell in love with the house on the hill. It was so peaceful. Only a short drive to everything you'd want to do in Austin.

895403,41376427,2015-08-07,36164988,Isaac,"Adam and Sabine left the key for us on the door at the time they stated. They were great at communicating with us. The Little House on the Hill is amazing! It is very well kept, the furniture is modern, fun and comfortable. I think that the pictures on this website do not do justice to how pretty and cozy the home is. The home is fully equiped with kitchen-ware, towels, pillows, etc. The neighborhood is very peaceful. Beautiful skyline at night....and you can see the stars clearly. 

The location of this place is perfect. It is so close to Austin's downtown (about 10 min away) so you can go out and have lots of fun. 

"
895403,42158351,2015-08-11,32083224,Victoria,"We really enjoyed our stay at this listing. It's a gem. We came best of the low price and positive reviews. Just like the reviews said, the listing is very efficient and cute, nicely decorate, well stocked. All the appliances were new and very nice. Bed was comfortable and the lofting wasn't too bad at all. 

My friend and I did a lot of cooking while we were there, the kitchen was perfect, fit all of our needs. Would recommend to anybody looking a quaint, affordable, efficient listing in Austin. "
895403,44043589,2015-08-23,41484607,Curtis,Adam was a great host; I really liked the place and location.

895403,46731729,2015-09-13,39258730,Sara,"We had an awesome stay here. We really appreciated the owners coordinating with us for a late arrival. A beautiful place with all the amenities one could want!  They truly thought of everything - from a jar of extra toiletries to milk in the fridge for coffee. After spending the day in the city, it was nice to get away to a quieter, more remote hideaway. Sleeping in the loft bed was a lot of fun. We would absolutely recommend it to others for a different kind of ""hotel"" experience. "
2124026,10546455,2014-02-24,2251346,Kevin,"My friends and I had an excellent stay at Robert's place ! Although we never saw him, he was very accommodating and accessible; he checked in to make sure our stay went smoothly and was very helpful. Also, his place was very cool, the hot tub ? Amazing."
2124026,10724161,2014-03-04,5998960,Gretchen,"Great house in East Austin. Robert was attentive, flexible and readily available. There were a few things we needed like an ironing board and he had them to us the same day. The house was clean and bright with lots of hot water! "
2124026,10841860,2014-03-10,11368142,Robyn,"Cute house, centrally located close to everything in Austin. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay while in Austin."
2124026,11020919,2014-03-17,12489826,Carroll,"Awesome place to stay, Robert's cottage was very accommodating and comfortable it truly felt like home! "
2124026,11183007,2014-03-24,4886578,Irene,Robert's place was wonderful to stay at. The place was incredibly clean and it felt like a perfect canvas for a family reunion. It has that perfect combination of being close to the city yet feeling like you are out in the middle of nowhere. Robert is also very responsive and ready to help.
2124026,11400153,2014-04-01,4347502,Denise,"Nice, comfortable house. We liked the neighborhood (in the East Side). Several great local music venues. Followed up on recommendation to stop at the Balmorhea Springs on the way to Big Bend: great spot. 
We walked over to Contigo for a great outdoor dinner. Great spot.
Host was very responsive to small problem with had with a new lock; added benefit was to meet him in person."
2124026,11713917,2014-04-13,12502127,Herb,"This was a great place to stay. Very clean and close to everything.
Would definitely stay here again!  Robert was very easy and quick to correspond with."
2124026,11866284,2014-04-17,13418526,Diana,"The East Side Cottage is a very nice place.  Robert is a wonderful host and made a big effort to have things go well.  There was a bit of confusion at our arrival, but Robert solved that, and the hot tub was temperamental, but we had a wonderful stay and hope to come back again."
2124026,12005110,2014-04-21,5230623,Summer,"The house was gorgeous; super clean and quiet, and it's located in a non-touristy part of Austin. We got in late at night and were so happy to discover that Robert had left us a bottle of wine, coffee, fruit and some bottlee water. We jumped in the hot tub, and then crashed out in really comfy beds. 

We're walkers, and found it very easy to walk into downtown Austin (about 20 minute walk from the house), but the bus stop was only a block away and Austin is really easy to travel by bus. There are also several great restaurants and bars within a ten minute walk from the house. I would never stay anywhere else in Austin, this place is perfect. "
2124026,12157640,2014-04-24,3240001,Jason,"Very clean place in a great location.  Quiet neighborhood and the hot tub was great!! I highly reccomend this place.  We kept ourselves busy during our stay and didn't need to contact Robert much.  The questions we did have were answered right away.  I would definitely stay here again, if I ever make my way back to Austin."
2124026,12334783,2014-04-29,6269609,Suzanne,"Robert's place is terrific.  Very clean and accommodating, and in a very hip little East Austin area.  We will definitely stay there again should we get the chance.  A+"
2124026,12408803,2014-05-01,6811235,Josiah,"Beautiful neighborhood just east of tons of great places on Manor Street. Loved going for walks with my girlfriend from the house to Bennu for coffee and Chilito for AMAZING tacos.

We ended every night in the hot tub, which was perfect and easy to use. Beautiful house.

It was a great experience. Thanks so much!"
2124026,12776541,2014-05-11,5410037,Stacie,"Robert's place was very comfortable and perfect for our party of 4 while staying in Austin for 10 days. We were heaps disappointed that the spa wasn't working during our stay because it's pretty much the main reason we booked the house. Robert did attempt to have it fixed while we were there but it just didn't work out. He offered to give us a discount if we visited again, which we'd be happy to take but only if the spa was guaranteed to work! :) 

Robert himself was very friendly and even had a bottle of wine and chocolate waiting for us upon arrival. He came around a couple times to try to sort the spa and brought his gorgeous dog with him, much to the delight of the animal lover in our group. I definitely recommend Robert as a host. "
2124026,13133896,2014-05-20,420993,Tatum,"Rob was super nice and responsive. While we did find the house to be on the smaller side, the area was fine ( really close to airport and not too far from the Drag). Our only complaint is that my dad found the sheets on the bed to be dirty but we changed them with clean ones in the linen closet so maybe something got mixed up with the maid service. Overall, a very cute cozy bungalow that's great for a budget stay in an authentic Austin neighborhood."
2124026,13355880,2014-05-26,14210136,Simon,Very clean and nicely styled place. Robert was super easy to contact by phone to  answer a couple of questions. It's about a 2.5 mile walk to downtown.  Ample off road parking.
2124026,13480897,2014-05-28,14437132,Amanda,"My friends and I LOVED Robert's place! It was very clean when we arrived, cutely decorated, well stocked with kitchen supplies, and the hot tub was fantastic. It was perfect for a getaway girls weekend."
2124026,13681578,2014-06-02,2722075,Anthony,"The house was gorgeous, meticulously kept, and Robert was a great host. Will definitely come back. "
2124026,16940189,2014-08-04,18752726,Brittney,"Robert was very accommodating and pleasant to work with. The house was absolutely adorable! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying in the house again!

Thank you Robert!!!!  "
2124026,18158582,2014-08-22,14816762,Gabriel,"This East Side Cottage was a great place with everything a tired traveler would want. Clean fresh and comfortable. I will visit again for sure, thank you for the great experience, Robert."
2124026,18494084,2014-08-27,19698173,Rosie,Great spot. Quiet neighborhood. Nice house with all amenities. No complaints!
2124026,19252132,2014-09-08,19174302,Ashley,"Robert's description of the home is 100% accurate and the photos listed are exactly how the home looks. The decor of the home is comfortable, current, and very similar to my own taste. Loved everything about this cute cottage. "
2124026,19538443,2014-09-14,19698173,Rosie,"I have booked with Robert several times, and I highly recommend for travelers. The location makes it easy to travel to to the upcoming trendy Eastside of Austin and Robert is as friendly as ever. Cute cottage!"
2124026,19662115,2014-09-15,18937942,Michael,"The house was spotless upon arrival, as well as quaint and inviting.  Robert made himself available in case any one needed anything.  Will definitely want to stay here again!"
2124026,20106983,2014-09-23,8342708,Camila,"I had a wonderful stay at Robert's place. Not far from Austin's popular neighborhoods, the house is very cozy and really clean. He was easy to reach at all times and very nice to me. "
2124026,20846696,2014-10-06,4010872,Jonathan,"Everything was smooth and perfect.  The house was  more comfortable than even the pictures look.

We had one minor issue with a/c (which could happen anywhere), and it was completely fixed within the hour while I was in town (at my request to enter while I was away, of course): it was a non-issue."
2124026,21277069,2014-10-14,15277292,Helen,"Yeah Austin! This place was totally beautiful and clean, and the hot tub was amazing to come back to after long days of walking around town and dancing. In-unit laundry +++. It's not completely clear from the ad but there are two bedrooms (rather than 1 bed and a pull-out couch). I stayed here with one other girlfriend and we had plenty of space.  

Robert was super welcoming with great tips about the area and stocked the kitchen with beer, seltzer and bananas before we arrived. He was very responsive the whole time as well--the toilet was broken when my friend first arrived, but he called a repair guy right away and it was fixed within a few hours.

I hate to give less than a 5-star review as the apartment really is lovely, but there was one major issue with our stay which was: NO WIFI! The router was in the back apartment and we could barely pick up any signal. Robert installed an extender part-way through the week but the signal was still barely strong enough to load pages on one device (couldn't do a computer and a phone at the same time). This was a major inconvenience as we had been expecting to be able to connect based on the ad and previous info provided (and we might have stayed elsewhere had we known). We wound up having to leave to find wifi elsewhere in town (and since there's no cable hookup, it would have been nice to be able to watch Netflix during times we wanted to just chill and enjoy the apartment and time off). This place is beautiful but should NOT be listed as wifi-enabled unless a direct connection and router are installed IN the actual apartment--and in this day and age, there really is no excuse for a poor internet connection. "
2124026,21659590,2014-10-21,12832677,Jiana,"My friends and I had a great stay at this clean, well located house. Our host Robert was welcoming and gave great suggestions for food. Loved the deck and hot tub. Ingredients Grocery was my fave."
2124026,22148022,2014-10-31,7716944,Joseph,"I had a great time while in Austin; slipping in just under the wire for the next day after I left began the 'Circuit of the Americas' there. I understand that this usually packs the town to overflowing!
 
Their cottage was clean and well stocked; I did not have a car while there and found plenty to do and grocery shopping within quite reasonable walking distances. It was really nice to arrive into your home away from home and find some snacks out and beer in the fridge!
 
I would definitely recommend this to any one wanting a cozy place that could easily handle four people with all the comforts of home. Should I return to Austin I will rent here again. There is even a classic Austin 'dive' only a few blocks away with lively blues and beer.
 
Joe"
2124026,22897632,2014-11-17,7962992,Mary,"The cottage was awesome. Excellent location next to a lot of great local spots and an easy drive downtown and to the airport. It was perfect to have the hot tub to relax in after a few long, a little colder than average days. Robert was super helpful with suggestions and even came to help with a hot tub glitch. I highly recommend this east side cottage. It was a perfect place to stay in Austin!"
2124026,23177791,2014-11-24,23536414,Jack,Our stay was amazing! The place was in such a good spot and the decor was just our style. The place had everything we needed and the hot tub was a huge plus! Would definitely stay here again. 
2124026,23451615,2014-12-01,8813637,Margaret,"Robert made us feel very welcome from the beginning when we booked The Cottage.  He responded to my texts and emails promptly.  He emailed us directions about the Cottage and sent us information on things to do in the immediate neighborhood.   

Once we arrived, we found that the Cottage was clean and tidy.  Everything was available for cooking.  There were plenty of towels, bedding and blankets.  The spa was wonderful.  After a day of hiking, sitting in the spa simply relaxed the tired muscles.  

The neighborhood is a part of old Austin.  It is quaint with tall trees to shade the yards.  The neighborhood is quiet yet children play in their yards.  This was a very restful holiday.  "
2124026,23749790,2014-12-09,15832793,Lori,"We absolutely loved this east side cottage! I rented this place for my best friend and her husband to celebrate her 30th birthday . The cottage is perfect for 2 couples, excellent design and comfort! The hot tub added an extra level of relaxation and fun (perfect temp and porch atmosphere). Robert was very attentive, helpful with questions, and was a wonderful host. "
2124026,24237225,2014-12-23,22303125,Rebecca,"We very much enjoyed our stay in the Rountree cottage.  Robert was super responsive and helpful.  The cottage provided just about everything we needed and was very comfortable for my husband, our 5 and 8 yr old boys and I.  We enjoyed relaxing deck time in the spa each day.  The cottage is in a great location - close to great eats, a new children's museum, downtown, airport, parks, etc.  We would absolutely stay there again."
2124026,25921580,2015-01-29,9793409,Joey,The reservation was canceled 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2124026,26045443,2015-02-02,8784769,Candace,"We had a great time at Robert's in Austin! The space was clean, cute and has a fab hot tub. We used the hot tub several times :). The location is easily to get to and there is lots of stuff nearby! We will definitely be back!"
2124026,26394869,2015-02-11,26181420,Alicia,"I chose this Airbnb property due to it's proximity to Manor Road, the folks I was visiting & the idea of getting into a hot tub (it's COLD in New England in February). The property was immaculate, well equipped, all instructions were very clear, the neighborhood was quiet, clean and very easy to drive to from the airport. Robert was helpful with suggestions as were the friendly neighbors I met. Should I return to Austin I would be very happy to stay here again."
2124026,26734759,2015-02-18,11884287,Jackie,"Robert was responsive and accommodating. The cottage is clean, well stocked, and beautiful! Hot tub was an awesome plus! I would definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin. "
2124026,27047646,2015-02-24,171068,Brian,"Listing spot on. Quaint, quiet neighborhood with easy driving access to downtown (transit looked easy too). We checked in late which wasn't an issue bc of a convenient lockbox system. relaxing in the hot tub after a day filled with walking was fantastic. "
2124026,27112227,2015-02-25,917012,Andrew,Great house in a great location!  I was in and out pretty quick but it suited me needs perfectly.   I wish I had an opportunity to jump in the hot tub be ran out of time.  Definitely on my next stay...
2124026,27331820,2015-03-02,26420788,Tess,"Robert was awesome! He was great about follow up and was very responsive with any issues we had. The property was clean and easy to find, exactly like the photos and the hot tub was a nice touch. I'd definitely stay there again.

Tess"
2124026,27788648,2015-03-11,15351988,Tj,"We were in a jam, we had to get our family of 4 out of our house for a night and on zero notice, Robert worked with us to make his house available.   We loved the cozy space, hot tub and quiet neighborhood. Can't say enough about the space and the host!  Highly recommend !"
2124026,27859646,2015-03-13,2903611,Melissa,Loved Robert place on the East side of Austin!! Robert was prompt in responding to my requests and the little house truly is outfitted with everything you need. Location is key in Austin due to traffic. We got from his house to S. Congress in less than a half hour at rush hour! Bars and restaurants are great on the East side. Loved the hot tub and the little kitchen has it all! I forgot how much I enjoy French press coffee! Stay here. It's perfect!
2124026,27963872,2015-03-15,28778961,Justin,"Robert was quick to reply and communicate with us regarding any queries we had.  The property was very cute and cozy with a vintage modern feel.  We felt like we were in our own little world when we used the hot tub...which was very well maintained.  There are also nice modern appliances on property ( washer, dryer, dishwasher).  We were located about 10 mins drive away from 6th Street and used the App Lyft to get to and from with ease.  Considering the SXSW festival was going on... we got a really competitive price compared to hotels in the area...  We both agreed that we would definitely stay here when and if we are were in town again.    There were beers and water in the fridge, some gourmet popcorn and also a recent issue of a fashion magazine which was a nice touch.  Highly recommended!  This was actually our first ever experience with Air Bnb and now we are hooked! We are looking into using Air BnB for our upcoming honeymoon in Hawaii because we enjoyed the unique space and overall experience."
2124026,28779392,2015-03-30,5886230,Kathleen,"The East Side Cottage was a great place to stay close to downtown, but removed for the busy streets.  A bus station that goes directly downtown was close by. (We took the 20).  The hot tub was great after a long day of walking around the city and hiking. The place was clean and Robert's directions were clear. Would stay again."
2124026,29102525,2015-04-04,9910507,Kia,"Robert was very prompt in communicating with us before our stay, and responded quickly to questions we had.  He gave us great advice for things to do in the area, and the advice was spot on.  The house was adorable  and the beds were comfortable.  The location was perfect for us, a group of four adults visiting our children.  It was a short drive to downtown, and there was ample parking on the street.
The hot tub was a nice touch, and we had a chance to use it a few times when we got home early enough! 
The neighbor in the back cottage was really friendly and helpful, too.  We felt like we were home in Robert's cottage."
2124026,29431957,2015-04-07,9806110,Lea,"We had a great stay at the East Side Cottage.  The neighborhood was quintessential East Austin- super cute cottages everywhere, close to tons of fun restaurants, and easy into downtown Austin.  The house was well equipped, easy to access and very clean and comfortable.  We did not get a chance to use the hot tub. But we hope to visit again and try it out!"
2124026,29688268,2015-04-11,7774702,Orlando,"Robert is a really excellent communicator and responds immediately to any questions or concerns. His place on the East Side is very clean and comfortable and does not lack any amenity. In this way he is very much a professional. The hot tub was a nice touch and we were happy to use it twice, which was great after long days of exploring. Manor Road has some great spots to eat and drink, and the cottage is close to everything. We were very happy with our choice. Thanks Robert, you run a tight ship."
2124026,29820739,2015-04-13,10040660,Stephen,"Listing was very accurate. The house was so fun and nice to stay at. Robert was very accomodating and even left a few beers in the Fridge for our arrival. We, of course, replenished the supply (and some). The house was very clean, the hot tub was heated (very relaxing), sheets were nice and clean. Everything was perfect. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making us feel right at home Robert."
2124026,30023790,2015-04-16,6062826,Tom,"Robert's place was fantastic! The house was really great and perfectly clean. Everything was well organized and check in/out couldn't have been simpler. I highly recommend a stay here: great value, great neighborhood and a great host."
2124026,30378183,2015-04-21,7357258,Ellen,"The cottage is adorable & stylish, yet still very comfortable for our family of 3.  An easy $10 über trip to down town.  We enjoyed our stay for a long weekend & look forward to our next jaunt to Austin.  "
2124026,32063379,2015-05-13,8179650,Justin,"Great property in a fantastic location. Manor has some of the best restaurants and food trucks in the city as well as being super accessible to downtown, university and the rest of the East Side. Hot tub saved my life after days of travel. Robert was an excellent host + a pleasure to deal with. See you soon. "
2124026,32293654,2015-05-16,28531899,Becky,"Robert was the man. Super responsive, helpful, and answered all my questions. Best host!"
2124026,32534359,2015-05-19,9954538,Erin,"This is a lovely spot. We had no trouble getting in using the lockbox, and the place is quite cozy. The hot tub was very nice. I brought my husband and my mother to celebrate my mother's birthday, and it was a great size for my small family."
2124026,32726397,2015-05-20,5377699,Susie,"Had a great stay! The house was well-appointed, immaculately clean, and comfy cozy. And the back porch / hot tub were a treat. Highly recommended!"
2124026,32854520,2015-05-22,33217949,Patty,"My husband and I escaped the suburbs of Northwest Austin for a quick overnight in East Side Cottage. It and the neighborhood was perfect and had everything we needed! We walked to Happy Hour at In.gredients, headed to Dai Due for dinner, found a bar for an after dinner drink, and finished up the evening in the hot tub.
Great place! Thank you!"
2124026,33227054,2015-05-26,10485726,Rosie Dawn,"The house is in a cute, conveniently-located neighborhood with ample street parking. Our stay, however, started off on an odd note and went downhill from there. A few days prior to our arrival, Robert emailed a page-long document listing all of the extra fees we might incur during our stay (e.g. $25 for mascara on towels, $300 to snake the toilet, etc.). Several minor issues were immediately apparent when we arrived -- the spare keys were not where they were supposed to be, the place was quite dusty, the ceiling lights in the front bedroom flickered on and off, the washing machine was muddy inside, some towels were stained -- but not wanting to be bothersome guests, we let them slide. The deal breaker was finding multiple gigantic cockroaches in the bedroom and kitchen on our last night. Robert was nonchalant about the roaches (he blamed the weather) and refused to work the problem out with us; fortunately, airbnb stepped in at our request and mediated an appropriate solution.

"
2124026,33533052,2015-05-29,21656179,Owen,"Had a great time in Austin despite some serious tornado issues.  Heavy rains brought out some water bugs but Robert was all over it.  Super close to downtown and cozy rooms with all the amenities of a furnished rental unit.  I really liked the style of the place, would recommend it!"
2124026,37679190,2015-07-09,8737564,Terrey,I loved my visit and my stay here! Neat clean and cozy. The deck out back was really peaceful!
2124026,40774991,2015-08-02,10023668,Tom,"Our 24 day stay was good. The kitchen has everything if you want to cook meals at home, washer and dryer convenient also. Robert was immediately responsive when internet problem appeared. Thoughtful amenities made the stay more comfortable. A good experience overall. "
2124026,41004441,2015-08-03,34840211,Sara,"Great location, immaculate home and fun environment. Robert was responsive from day one, the cottage was beautifully appointed and I would highly recommend!"
2124026,44191776,2015-08-24,22551351,Brandy,"This place was perfect for us!  Just having a nice relaxing girls weekend and this place did not disappoint!  The place was very well kept, the beds were extremely nice.  The back patio was very relaxing.  I would definitely stay here in the future.  Thank you for having everything perfect!"
2124026,44483715,2015-08-26,25239141,Alison,"The house was so great! I didn't get to spend much time there because I was in and out for a business trip, but I definitely made sure to make time to use the hot tub. There was a hiccup with the wifi, but Robert was quick to call the internet company to resolve the problem. 

I also walked down Manor to snack and drink at a few bars. It was nice to see some local spots!

I definitely recommend Robert and would stay here again"
2124026,47941416,2015-09-21,30058746,Stephen,"Robert was an excellent host. He was incredibly responsive and assisted with our every need. The place is very convenient to the University, airport and a strip of fun bars and restaurants. Finally, the place was very clean, well furnished and an overall enjoyable experience."
2124026,48762353,2015-09-28,43347629,Kyle,"This was our fist time using Airbnb and we had a fantastic time. For us we didn't want your typical hotel experience in Austin, and Robert's house was a breath of fresh air. We love the vibe of the place. The location was perfect being just a couple miles off of I35. Neighbors seemed friendly, we just had a great experience. Would highly recommend it and actually already have! "
2124026,49251305,2015-10-02,1604247,Lee,Robert's place was great!  Close access to everything while offering a quiet retreat.
2124026,51530044,2015-10-21,24152777,Jessica,"What a lovely time we had at the cottage! Clean, neat, and airy home in a great location. Walkable restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and a 10 minute cab ride from just about everything else. We loved the hot tub for relaxing at night. 10/10 would visit again!"
2124026,52271694,2015-10-27,46559129,Fred,Robert was an excellent host and very tentative to our needs. The house was close enough to the mix in austin but far enough away to be private. I would recommend staying here to anyone.
2124026,52839393,2015-11-02,43222909,Eric,"This house was perfect for what we needed.  Excellent location, right next to the interstate for quick access and only a 5 or 10 minutes drive to get to spots around Austin. Everything in the house worked fine and was well taken care of. Neighbors were friendly and welcoming as well. Best part was the back porch area which was perfect for the 4 of us to hang out around the hot tub during our down times. Robert was easy to get ahold of and very accommodating to all my questions. I would recommend this cottage or any other property of Roberts to anyone looking for a nice place to have a hassle free vacation."
2124026,53235581,2015-11-06,20988615,Christina,"Responded quickly. Clean house, great location! "

I enjoyed walking over to Juiceland - especially after a night out at Stay Gold! The house was really clean and the backyard is like a little Costa Rica :-) The whole experience was so relaxing, and Joseph is a fantastic host! 10/10"
6691716,45047416,2015-08-30,8742068,Ronney,"A beautiful home in a great neighborhood, with plenty of dining options within a few blocks....perfect for morning taco's then late evening strolls. Joseph was in touch whenever I had any questions, and made me feel at home even before I arrived! Two thumbs up,  I would definitely stay here again! "
6691716,45728753,2015-09-05,41869761,Stephanie,"Joseph was a wonderful host that made us feel at home. He provided us with great food and activity recommendations and was always available for questions! Joseph's listing was completely accurate - his room/house is clean, spacious and all around wonderful!"
6691716,47422626,2015-09-18,4345578,Fabiola,"The house was beautiful, tranquil and clean, exactly as expected. Joseph was a great host, eager to make sure you got the most out of the city. Overall the experience was great, from start to finish. I would definitely recommend staying here! "
6691716,52889858,2015-11-02,45414708,Bart,Great location and friendly host. Huge bedroom. Cool East Austin location. I rented a bike and most things are within easy riding distance.
2048537,10319112,2014-02-12,1522827,Umi,The reservation was canceled 71 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2048537,10419319,2014-02-18,10552129,Claire,"My group really enjoyed staying at Molly's place. It is very spacious, with plenty of room for large groups. We especially enjoyed sitting on the lovely back patio while soaking up some great Austin weather. The location is also convenient and was a quick drive to places to we wanted to go. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to others. Molly was also great about answering all of our questions and left us some wonderful breakfast treats!"
2048537,10531282,2014-02-24,10910280,Chris,"Great place to stay! The house is incredibly nice and Molly made us feel more than welcome. Everything we needed (cooking materials, toiletries, etc) was taken care of, even with such a large group. She even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine. Thanks again!"
2048537,10681052,2014-03-03,11148757,Kelsey,"We had my sister's bachelorette party in Austin and Molly was the most wonderful host. The house was absolutely perfect, fully stocked with everything we needed, and walking distance from most everything. I'm going to find a reason to come back to Austin & stay with Molly again :)"
2048537,11176169,2014-03-24,1593152,Cheyenne,Great location and great house!  Molly's home was a perfect fit for our group.  It was clean and had a nice open floor plan.  Molly was very hospitable and accommodating working around our arrival and departure times with ease.  She even went out of here way to return a phone charger that was left behind.  I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin and I'd encourage others to do so as well.
2048537,13662288,2014-06-02,13557068,Kennedy,"We had a girls reunion in Austin this past weekend and Molly was amazing!  The house was absolutely perfect for all of us and SUPER clean. It was fully stocked with everything we could imagine or possibly need. Hopefully I'll be able to make it down to Austin again and stay in her wonderful home.

"
2048537,14626885,2014-06-23,15578220,Julie,This was a wonderful home in a great location in Austin!    Molly was SO kind and thoughtful and so welcoming!    It was perfect for a weekend with friends.   Thanks!
2048537,14966291,2014-06-30,419780,Emily,"Our party had extra guests and Molly was incredibly accommodating and a joy to work out logistics with prior to arriving in Austin. She was available all weekend for last-minute questions and even stocked the kitchen with some basic food items, which was such a sweet gesture. The house itself is a beautiful space. It's a short walk away from West 6th Street and a $6-8 Lyft ride from East 6th, but just tucked away enough to be away from the noise and busy thoroughfare. We were in love with the back patio space and all around happy with the house."
2048537,22823468,2014-11-16,14383280,Nathan,"Molly made us feel welcome from booking to preparation for the trip all the way to being there to check us in.  We appreciated the small touches in the home like the complimentary 6-packs!  The home itself was beautiful and spacious and on a street where, if I were planning to relocate to Austin, I would try to move to specifically to this awesome street in this very walkable neighborhood.  

For anyone unfamiliar with Austin, the location is ideal.  Within striking distance of downtown, S. Congress, the parks, and you can patch together a really nice jogging loop from the house around the trails by the river.

Great house, welcoming host, incredible location.   "
2048537,23320225,2014-11-29,9523071,Doug,"Everything about this house was excellent. Clean, comfortable, very convenient location. Thanks Molly!"
2048537,23431340,2014-12-01,728112,Elizabeth,"We enjoyed a perfect stay! The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and stocked with anything one might forget. Molly, the owner, is super easy to get in touch with when we had questions and was very helpful. The beds are amazingly comfortable, if only I could have figured out a way to carry it back on the plane with me!"
2048537,25365558,2015-01-13,8905631,Derek,"Molly's house was amazing, with a great location.  Coordinating with Molly was very easy, and she was very accommodating.  We'd definitely recommend Molly's house for another stay in Austin.  Thanks, Molly!  "
2048537,26925415,2015-02-22,26445665,Brea,The house is definitely beautiful and in a great location. Molly was very friendly & helpful.
2048537,27249788,2015-03-01,18057922,Erikka,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it exceeded all expectations! The home and location was perfect for our weekend visit. Molly was a spectacular host, from providing recommendations for restaurants to try and things to do, to making her home extremely welcoming to us. The layout of this house was perfect for a group of 6--open kitchen, living room, and dining space for socializing, but a separate nook if someone wanted quiet. The house is walking distance to lots of great bars/restaurants, yet in a neighborhood that has character and a sense of safety. Molly also went above and beyond to extend my stay an extra night due to the weather canceling my flight out of Austin. Thank you, Molly!"
2048537,27575703,2015-03-08,25705494,Hannah,"Molly was AMAZING. From the beginning when we were communicating via email and text to when she welcomed me in person at the house, she was great. 

She knew we were having a girls getaway (bachelorette weekend) and even prepared themed napkins for us that read 'Happy Bachelorette.' Plus, she had a white wine chilling in the fridge and a bottles of local fave Topo Chico mineral water with lemons and limes. There was also all the fixings for coffee, breakfast beverages (OJ, milk) and even micheladas. She also had a 'local guide' printed out with restaurants, stores, cafes, etc. that were organized by walking distance and then driving distance with her personal reviews. I felt completely welcome.

She also had soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, linens, etc. all prepared and ready-to-go. It was super clean and comfortable. Also, the personal care products were all really nice.

The house itself was JUST AMAZING. Beautifully maintained and super clean. Recessed lighting throughout. Even all the flatware and silverware were actually really high quality. It did not feel like a rental property and more like a real home. 

Overall, Molly went above and beyond and the house was beautiful."
2048537,28595185,2015-03-27,14444155,Andy,"Molly kept in frequent contact with me prior to the visit and upon arrival she has prepared a very extensive document on the amenities of the area, so even for the Austin unfamiliar a lot of guidance is offered up.   We never even met in person, but everything was covered.   

The location of the house is very nearly perfect for what I wanted.   We were able to walk to a lot of restaurants and interesting places to shop.   Whole Foods and Book People are a relatively easy walk away, and along the way there is plenty to capture your interest.   It manages to be quiet little street tucked in the heart of everything.   

The house itself was quite clean and comfortable, we spent plenty of time relaxing on the back patio and the living room between our adventures.   I had wanted a place with four distinct bedrooms and enough bathrooms that we would never feel like we were stepping over each other, and in that sense it was also more than adequate.   The master suite is ridiculously large, and is set up so a family could share the room and the walk in closet.    Since I had it to myself, I was swimming in space.

I would have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone who needs a little bit of room for a small group."
2048537,31576874,2015-05-07,13022765,Nicole,"My coworkers and I stayed at this beautiful home for 3 nights. We had to attend a conference at the convention center and were concerned that we weren't ""in the city"". This house is so close that everything is in walking distance! We loved that we were in walking distance to the best Whole Foods in the world and that many great bars and restaurants were nearby. If you have an active lifestyle, this place is for you! The house is also super close to the running trails by the lake and the boat launch if you want to paddle board or kayak.

The house was super clean and Molly left us some goodies to enjoy! The neighborhood is quiet if you want to get away from the East 6th street noise, but still close enough to enjoy it! We plan on coming back and staying here next year!
"
2048537,37992946,2015-07-12,23400601,Allison,"This place is amazing! We came to Austin  with a group of 8 girls and this place had more than enough room for us. It was clean, spacious, and in the perfect location for us to explore the city with ease! We stayed in and made dinner one night and enjoyed the large kitchen and open floor plan. And the cherry on the top was the host, Molly. Molly was the best host we could have hoped for. She was extremely responsive, helped us with ideas of areas to explore, and was just all around wonderful! The whole experience was just perfect. We will absolutely be back!"
2048537,44903856,2015-08-30,10976777,Natalie,"Molly's house in Austin was AMAZING! We stayed for a bachelorette weekend and had the best time. The house is large and fit all 8 of us very very comfortably. The kitchen and bathrooms have everything you could ever need and the fridge was even stocked with drinks when we got there! The house was also super clean and in a really great location. Molly is a wonderful host; very responsive and SO helpful. Logistics were very easy to sort out and everything we needed to know (plus a ton of recommendations) were there at the house for us. Thank you so much, Molly!!"
2048537,45569434,2015-09-04,37921712,Rob,"Molly was very responsive before, during, and after the rental. The space was thoughtfully prepared and ready for our guests arrival. VERY comprehensive list of things to do, places to see and dining options. Location is ideal - a quiet residential street with most of Austin a short walk or $5 +/- UBER ride away. "
2048537,48491458,2015-09-27,9833480,Eduardo,"House is beautiful, spotless and in a great area. Molly was terrific, attentive and kind. Fridge was stocked with nice amenities and all a great time was had. "
3702788,20904568,2014-10-07,19563976,Rio,"The property is perfect. Perfect location, beautiful house, amazing renters. I never felt out of contact with Brian and there was always help to keep up with the house instructions. We absolutely loved our stay. The bus stop is around the corner and there's also a gastropub close by that is great for brunch or dinner and drinks. All over the stay was great and I'd recommend this house to anyone. "
4069747,50432000,2015-10-12,14286214,Ashley,Our experience was one to remember. This was my first time using AirBnb and it was definitely a positive experience. Everything was clean and they even left us a few little festival goodies. I would definitely visit again!
3432834,16573898,2014-07-29,17822379,Jacob,"Jennifer made arrival quick and easy. Cottage was already cooled (great for summer Austin weather), clean, and ready to go. Location was good for exploring all which ATX has to offer. Overall, a fun, ""very Austin"" place to stay while experiencing this great city."
3432834,20527519,2014-09-30,19824011,Karen,"Jennifer was very efficient in relaying messages to me for my arrival. I didn't actually get to meet her, that was fine by me I enjoyed the privacy and tranquility. The studio was perfect for my stay, it is in a fantastic position for easy access to all I wished to do. "
3432834,21334505,2014-10-15,17839960,Nicole,"I stayed @ the ""Artsy, Zen garden cottage"" for almost a week in October. I found the property to be exactly as described online. Jennifer was responsive, thorough and helpful throughout the whole process from booking to neighborhood tips etc. Initially I was interested to see how it would go sharing the property w/ two other homes w/ full time residents, but it was a non-issue. I loved the neighborhood, it's a little gritty and funky (this was a plus for me) but always felt safe, even walking home late at night.  There is great coffee, food, fresh juice and breakfast tacos within a few blocks. I would absolutely stay again. The one thing that could be improved in my opinion is the bedding. Full disclosure, I like a really cozy bed, that being said a high quality set of sheets and a few more fluffy pillows would seal the deal."
3432834,22354162,2014-11-04,16629088,Philip,"Perfect place to spend the weekend exploring Austin. Very relaxed Zen cottage as described. in quiet part of town but only a short walk into town. Love the people of Austin, friendly and smiling wherever you go. Jennifer was not there but checked in with me twice to make sure everything was OK. Really appreciate that. Hope to come back and explore more of Austin."
3432834,22646590,2014-11-11,13796951,Erin,"The space was beautiful and within walking distance of several great restaurants. Unfortunately, I was working the whole time and really only got to sleep there. I didn't get to meet Jennifer but she's put together a lovely space "
3432834,23464080,2014-12-01,6928298,David,"Jennifer is a good host and on top of things. I was out most of the time and didn't get to meet her, but she made sure I had everything I needed to check in and was on top of her phone, emails and texts. The place itself is quite private and what I would call bare bones, but all the basics are there. It's a great crash pad in Austin."
3432834,23816765,2014-12-11,3579679,Dana,"Very cute and quaint in the middle of Austin's best.
Small, as seen in the pictures, and a note that everything that is in the pictures is pictured.  Jennifer did a great job of making it feel like you indeed were in a hotel room, with a stocked kitchenette area, and we were as warm and cozy as imagined.

Thank you Jennifer!"
3432834,26161396,2015-02-05,13426359,Jonathan,"Jennifer's cottage more than lived up to the photos! It was a really comfortable, relaxing, and unique place to spend a week. The bed and the bedding were extremely comfortable and pleasant. There was more than enough space for my clothes and things, and excellent amenities - a fully functional kitchenette, a coffee maker, and even a stock of food and beverages.

Two space heaters did a fairly effective job at fighting off the near-freezing outside temperatures, but it is a tall building and at times it was rather chilly. I felt comfortable, but those who are less cold-tolerant might need to turn up the heaters more than I did.

The bathroom and shower are gorgeous and extremely functional. I did find that I had to take fairly short showers with the amount of hot water, probably due to the unusually cold weather, but I was trying to conserve water anyway. The provided toiletries were very useful; if I hadn't brought my own, I'd have been fine with what was already there. One essential (TP) did run out, but Jennifer brought a large refill the next day.

The block is very quiet, except for the local wildlife - I heard and saw many species of birds, squirrels, maybe an opossom or raccoon. The neighborhood is GREAT and packed with places to eat, drink, and have fun. (As a Detroiter, I was really happy to see Via 313 Detroit-styl pizza and multiple Founders beers on tap at the Violet Crown nearby.) It's right near the Texas State Cemetery for photographers, close enough to walk downtown, far enough to be quiet, and full of Austin character.

I've stayed several places in Austin in the past, *including* the Driskill, and there's no place I'd rather stay next time than this cottage."
3432834,26673603,2015-02-17,9909910,Leslie,"Although we never met Jennifer in person, she was very quick to respond to our texts. Her directions were very exact so we had no difficulty finding our cottage.
Austin is an up-and-coming city, so rustic accommodations are not so easy to find. The cottage is adorable, with it's own little porch, beautiful tilework in the bathroom and a mini-kitchenette with microwave, coffeemaker, fridge and some dishes and utensils. The bed is reasonably comfortable. There is a bureau to store things but not really a good place to hang clothing.
I walked every day to and from downtown - less than 15 minutes each way but the neighborhood is just a bit dicey.
Jennifer recommended the intimate Buenos Aires Cafe, about 8 blocks away, and we enjoyed it so much that we went there twice."
3432834,26996981,2015-02-23,26604480,Christopher,"The cottage was ideal for my time in Austin.  Simple and quiet, in a wonderful neighborhood, surrounded by a lovely yard.  Would return in a heartbeat."
3432834,27456906,2015-03-05,10643400,Jeff,"Nice place. Not flawless but certainly comfortable, clean, friendly, private, and definitely a place I'd return to."
3432834,27827781,2015-03-13,12678074,Arielle,"Jennifer called me as soon as I let her know I arrived and was extremely helpful with recommendations in the neighborhood. The cottage was quaint and adorable and the neighborhood was filled with birds singing. The location was awesome- you can walk or ride a bike into downtown Austin plus there are great restaurants, bars and a yoga studio a few blocks away. "
3432834,28115777,2015-03-18,9370111,Jen,The cottage was just right for me to escape the craziness of SXSW. I made sure I ended each night on Rainey so I had an easy walk home. Jen made sure I had everything I needed during my stay. This is such a great tiny escape. 
3432834,28866055,2015-03-31,25851027,Hannah,"Exactly what we were looking for! Perfect, secluded place to stay and relax when we weren't walking and biking around the city. Great location, effortless arrival and departure.  We'd stay again!"
3432834,29355770,2015-04-06,6101347,Jessica,"My experience was excellent—Jennifer replied promptly and was very helpful, and the house (shed) was very clean and had all the basics. It was a great place to stay for a few days in Austin—well located, private, quiet—and I'd recommend it highly to anybody looking for a pleasant place to stay. "
3432834,29612425,2015-04-10,17860912,Nicole,"My boyfriend and I were so pleased with this quaint listing. I loved being able to sit in a garden in the early morning and late evening drinking teas that were provided for us. We were close to a delicious breakfast spot called Cenote, which we walked to each morning. At night we were able to walk into town, Rainey Street,  via Holly street or we could two step at the local White Horse right up the road. I didn't get to meet Jennifer, but anytime I sent her a message she contacted me immediately. We would difinately stay here again. "
3432834,29962602,2015-04-15,1475947,Meredith,"Jennifer was really friendly and communicative and her place was in a great location. We walked to some music venues on 6th and 7th Streets and there was perfect coffee at Cenote in the morning.
We were in Austin for an unusually rainy four days so we found the house kind of dark. It's probably perfect, though, during hot and sunny weather! I also think the space would be better for one person... it's a bit cramped for two.
Thanks, Jennifer, for your great suggestions. Next time... swimming!"
3432834,30385939,2015-04-21,27964313,River,"Our experience staying in the cottage was good. In a pretty good location, walkable to some of the bars/restaurants in East Austin. Jennifer was accommodating when our flight was cancelled and let us stay another night on short notice. A great alternative to staying in a hotel!"
3432834,31037038,2015-05-01,7083551,Leif,"The cottage was great, quite, convenient location to food and nightlife, and free street parking because having a car around Austin is vital to see as much as possible.  We were in town for 6 days and having the ability to walk and get breakfast tacos made the experience so much better.  I would recommend this cottage to any of my friends who may be traveling to Austin.  Jennifer was a fantastic hostess, I never saw her the whole time I was there but she checked up on us while we were there and I felt that if I needed anything she would help accommodate.  Overall we had a great time in Austin and had a wonderful time being guests at this quaint easy Austin cottage."
3432834,31306058,2015-05-04,28501236,David,Great location! Jennifer was a very gracious host.
3432834,32107997,2015-05-14,26149192,Sophie,"Had a very lovely stay in the cottage. It was very homely, in a beautiful setting and so close to many great things to do in Austin. Would definitely love to stay again! "
3432834,32745256,2015-05-21,849919,Rich,"Jennifer was quick to communicate and staying at her place was a breeze. Walking to downtown was quick and easy, as well as checking out places in East Austin. I ate every morning at nearby Cenote, so delicious. The bed was very comfy and the shower is absolutely fantastic. I had a great time. "
3432834,34773473,2015-06-12,22292310,Jessie,"Jennifer's cottage was a great home-base for our 4 night stay in Austin. The space was comfortable, quiet and we appreciated the drinks and snacks she left for us in the fridge. Jennifer was a great host; very easy to reach and responsive to the questions we had while we were there. She also provided some good suggestions on things to do. The location of this cottage is perfect - away from the touristy side of town and close to East 6th street, which quickly become our favorite area in the city. In this area be sure to check out the East Side Fillin' Station food trailers - great selection and atmosphere. Also recommend Cenote for amazing breakfast, and the White Horse bar for drinks, great music and fun dancing. Also, don't go to Austin without a trip to Barton Springs - great place to cool off for a few hours. We would happily stay at this cottage again when we have a chance get back to Austin."
3432834,36690246,2015-06-30,28376047,Stefanie,"Jennifer was very welcoming.  We never met her but she sent us messages to check on us regular and make sure we were enjoying our stay.  She also sent us so many tips.  She told us about the weather (unusually rainy) before we arrived so that we could pack accordingly and suggest a swimming hole on a hot day.  You could tell she really cared.  My boyfriend and I went to Austin on vacation and this cottage was very close to many of the popular spots in Austin.  We walked to Rainey St., downtown, West and East 6th street.  The neighborhood was probably my favorite neighborhood in Austin.  It has some of the most delicious restaurants and coolest bars.  Stay Gold was one of my favorite outdoors bars and it was just a few blocks away!  

The place itself was small but lovely.  Once you get inside, you feel like you are in a treehouse because all you can see out the windows are trees.  It felt very peaceful.  The bathroom is also really cute and artistic, you can tell she put a lot of effort into it and it looks beautiful.  It does include a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker.  There is also tons of parking on the street.  Our only complaint was that the internet was a bit spotty, so we used our phones to look most things.  I suspect the router was located in the main house and it was just too far away.  Yet overall, we loved staying here, and Jennifer was just so nice!"
3432834,37856388,2015-07-11,23499862,Michael,"Jennifer was a great host who keep us up-to-date with our booking. She provided accurate and thorough responses to our enquiries. The cottage was pretty small although big enough for the two of us. The bed was comfy and the bathroom was clean and spacious. Plenty of towels etc provided. We had access to lauundry facilities which was appreciated as we'd just come from a week in New Orleans. We also had access to two pushbikes which was great. The location is great if you are interested in accessing the many bars and clubs on 6th St all within easy walking distance. Excellent food nearby (Buffalina, Veracruz All Natural, Cenote and fabulous coffee at Flat Track - all easy walk). We were in Austin in mid summer and it was pretty hot and humid (low to mid 30s) but the cottage had good air-conditioning although plenty of mosquitoes kept us inside. When we  our flight out to LA was rescheduled Jennifer kindly allowed us to check out late. All in all we had a great stay and we'd recommend Jennifer's place. "
3432834,39920199,2015-07-27,6043273,Robert,"Working with Jen on my trip was very easy from the beginning.  She was quick to return my emails and anticipated many of my questions.  Those questions unique to my visit were handled in a timely and very satisfactory manner.  All subsequent contact was via email and text, and it worked quite well.  Again, she is an attentive and concerned host.

The cottage sits back a little from the street and offers a fairly secluded experience. Although I had read others' reviews touting the serenity of the gardens in evenings, I was so busy seeing and experiencing Austin that I did not spend any time on the porch.

Jen had said that Austin is a bike-able city, and she provided the bike!  I toured the city and explored nearly all I wanted to see via bicycle.  My conference was at the convention center, an easy ten to fifteen minute walk from the cottage.  For those who Uber, Austin can get pretty jammed with traffic and my Uber drivers were very good at by-passing the jams and getting me to my destinations.

Her place is clean, convenient to some of the best attractions (and BBQ!) Austin has to offer.  I highly recommend the cottage for anyone traveling solo or with one other."
3432834,41242607,2015-08-05,1781246,Johnny,What a great wee find! It's like you're in the middle of the countryside and yet minutes from downtown. Loved this space and would def stay again if in town. Jennifer was fast to respond to queries too. Recommended!
3432834,42120205,2015-08-11,32723089,Aimee,"Jennifer was very communicative during the days approaching our trip. She was out of the country during our stay but we had everything we needed. The room was cool when we entered which was a nice escape from the Austin heat! The description of the listing is accurate and is a good space for 1-2, definitely not 3 though. While the porch area was very cute and looked cozy, when we went to visit it was too hot to enjoy so when we weren't exploring, we stayed inside in the AC. My only negative is that there is a window just above the bed without a curtain. While there is no through traffic and nobody passing by, my fiance and I are scared-y cats and had to put towels over the window to be able to fall asleep. It doesn't help that we also saw a few scary movies playing in the background at Casino El Camino on 6th! Also, if you are the type that likes to sleep in, I would not recommend this place as there are open windows towards the ceiling which let natural light in. 

Pros:
Walking distance from Downtown and great food spots nearby. 
Secluded, homey, (website hidden)!

Cons:

Thank you, Jennifer! We felt at home in Austin during our stay."
3432834,43482632,2015-08-20,11940623,Eliza,"Rustic Texan charm! We loved staying at Jennifer's cottage in Austin. Walking distance to just about everything, but tucked away just enough to ensure a quiet night's sleep. We could resist taking a selfie with the cow skull that greeted us on arrival! "
3432834,45943774,2015-09-07,12899679,Dean,The cottage was great. The location is perfect for exploring Austin. I loved chilling on the front porch. Jennifer went above and beyond to be helpful.
3432834,46543896,2015-09-11,43309714,Matt,"Staying in Jens cottage was fantastic. She gave great tips on things to do in Austin, and made us feel welcome. The little house was exactly what we needed for our get away. The neighborhood is nice and surprisingly quiet for being so close to so many attractions. "
3432834,47298680,2015-09-17,30284212,Jordan,"The cottage is very cute, nice, and clean. The location was perfect for us and we were able to walk everywhere. Amazing coffee at Texas Coffee Traders and an awesome taco truck are within a few blocks. It was a bit smaller than expected, which was fine since we spent most of our time out, not enough space to have meals in the room though. Overall, it was a great experience and Jennifer was a lovely host. Great value for the price. "
3432834,48985912,2015-09-30,3054682,Robert,"Great stay - location is good, bed was comfy, and the whole setting was very charming. Jennifer was a super attentive host and solved a few small issues we had with no problem. I'd definitely recommend you stay here!"
3432834,49760165,2015-10-06,7266167,Kristin,"We loved our stay at this tiny house!  As a few others have said, it's perfect for one or two people, more than that would be too crowded.  The location couldn't have been better, we could walk to Rainey street, East 6th, West 6th, and pretty much anywhere else we wanted to explore.  We didn't actually meet Jennifer, but we were out and about the majority of the time we were visiting anyway.  Lots of good food nearby, etc."
3432834,50742298,2015-10-14,24899630,Marielle,"Jennifer was very welcoming and provided great pointers of restaurants and bars in the local area. Her cottage was ideal for my first trip to Austin. I absolutely loved the area and how quiet it was. It was perfect walking distance to downtown, always stopped by the coffee shop Cenote on my way to downtown in the mornings. I am already trying to plan my next trip to Austin and am hoping I'm able to book this cottage with Jennifer again. Definitely want to stay here again! "
3432834,51439603,2015-10-20,41836112,David,"We loved staying here and it was our perfect introduction to Austin. The cottage was really comfy and attractively done out, in a secluded back garden in a very pretty part of east Downtown –  just 10 mins' walk from East Austin nightlife (Sixth Street and around) or the bars on Rainey Street, and just a few mins from great breakfast tacos and the Kerlin Barbeque (highly recommended!). Sadly we didn't get to meet Jennifer but she was very welcoming and super-helpful with tips and advice both before and during our stay. We'd 100% stay here again. "
8663006,50408573,2015-10-11,29416845,Mirina,"My stay at Misael's one bedroom apartment  was so perfect ! Misael was an awesome host for my weekend stay in Austin! He made sure were comfortable and had everything we needed & was available when needed! Also, made just about everything available to us, place was clean and very spacious and location was perfect! Relatively closed to everything... Even had a small strip across the street with restaurants/bars/boutiques. I definitely would stay here again and recommend to all looking for a convenient/affordable place to stay :) "
6322748,32036284,2015-05-12,12147251,Nicole,"Stephen's house was really great! I needed a place to stay while work was being done on my condo, and I'm so glad I chose his. It was very tidy and spacious. I loved the deck. And it was nice to be able to park my car in his garage.

He was a great communicator and really flexible with when I arrived and left. Would definitely stay at his place again if I needed a place to stay in Austin. "
6322748,32429119,2015-05-17,32220370,Ashish,"Stephen did a great job making me and my friends feel welcome in his place. His place in west Austin had easy access to town lake and to downtown Austin. Very spacious living room (with an air mattress if needed), nice sized kitchen, 2 great balconies, and 2 great bedrooms/bathrooms. Had a great time and would highly recommend it!"
6322748,33049283,2015-05-24,33377124,Blake,Great weekend experience. Stephen was easy to work with and had a great place. Would recommend this stay to anyone. Thanks Stephen!
6322748,37216568,2015-07-05,29875926,Johnny,Responded quickly and check in was really easy. Location is close to campus and outdoors activities.  The house was clean and has everything you need to spend a weekend. He even provided breakfast. Rooms were clean and neat and the porch was well maintained making it easy to grill outside. 
6322748,39876635,2015-07-26,38979483,Jose,"Stephen was a great host, 
The house is extremely nice and was clean when we got there 

Would recommend this house to anyone!  "
6322748,45990918,2015-09-07,40735429,Johnny,"The host was very welcoming. He made sure we arrived ok. Stephen had breakfast awaiting our arrival. 
The listing was very accurate.
The neighborhood was very nice and quit "
6322748,48647027,2015-09-27,37491891,Shanna,Great clean and quiet place to stay.  Comfortable beds and easy parking etc.  
6322748,49451417,2015-10-04,31369505,Megan,"This was the perfect place to stay for ACL weekend. Incredibly clean, very comfortable, and easy access to the park. Check in and out was a breeze, too. "
6322748,50445658,2015-10-12,15600794,David,Stephen's home is great. The pictures represent the unit very well. The beds are comfortable and the place is very clean with updated living and kitchen area. Stephen is uber responsive and seems to be a really good guy.  We would definitely stay here again.
8811104,50621272,2015-10-13,1151730,Gerrie,"Ashley & Nick were excellent hosts and the location is great, easy to get downtown and Zilker Park.  I had a very comfortable bed and had all the privacy as the house is quite huge.  I would do airbnb again with them again if I do visit Austin again :-)"
8524358,50357406,2015-10-11,45162866,Jane,"My daughter and I stayed at Sherry's airbnb on Fri. Oct 9 and Sat Oct 10.  We over the fact that we had two separate bedrooms with a bath all our own within the home but as a private little wing.  Sherry went out of her way to welcome us, and provided breakfast and snacks for us.  I felt like I had made a new friend when I left, as she was so warm and welcoming.  The setting is a quiet neighborhood in Southwest Austin which was right where we wanted to be.  Would recommend the accommodations and the hostess."
5628304,50054563,2015-10-08,4014197,Taiya,"The apartment was located in a great spot...Very Austin! Everything was as described in the listing but it's actually better in person. The pics don't show the charm and warmth of the gracious hosts!!! Cheap Uber ride to downtown. Comfy bed. Cool setup. Can't ask for more...Oh yeah, the *pole* now that was fun! "
5628304,50156560,2015-10-09,8813338,Michael,"I had a great time staying with Kitt. The apartment was very clean and had 3 lovely cats. It's a close ride to downtown, about 15 minutes or $10-12 Uber. Good price, good experience, would definitely recommend!"
5628304,50576017,2015-10-12,44292245,Carlos,"Had an awesome experience! Not short of 5 stars at all.  Location was great, apartment was clean, my guest and I felt super welcomed and safe.  Best of all for this airbnb, were the hosts (thanks a lot guys!) I would definitely stay here again. "
5628304,50610110,2015-10-13,23228842,Tony,The host canceled this reservation 148 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8815463,51388467,2015-10-19,46320714,Kirsty,A very clean apartment in a great location close to Zilker Park and the bars and restaurants on East 6th Street. The host was very hospitable and welcoming and provided us with everything we may have needed. A great stay. 
625578,2516939,2012-10-05,3704544,Marnie,Gray and Judith are gracious and caring hosts.  I enjoyed being welcomed 'home' each day of my stay by their adorable dogs.  Starting my day with a coffee was easy with their self-serve single serving machine.  Really nice!  Judith even set me up with a second serving in my 'Go' mug when I was running late.  I appreciated catching a ride to UT conference centre whenever that was possible but I was able to walk it easily in 30 min.
625578,2626613,2012-10-15,2843186,Martin,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Gray's house. Its location is perfect, just walking distance from the city center, and the house is really nice. Gray and his housemate are warm and welcoming, and their dogs are too!

I definitely recommend."
625578,2755824,2012-10-29,1279704,Alexia,"This home is in a wonderful location, walking distance to all of the Austin's downtown and UT sites and museums. While the charming old house with a wrap-around porch is chock-a-block filled with interesting artifacts, objects, and artwork, the room itself is very tidy with an extremely comfortable bed. In fact, I thought the bed was more comfortable than the one I stayed in at the Sheraton (two streets over) the two night's prior on my company's dime. Gray has set up a TV with a million channels, DVD player and internet access in the room. I will leave off one star for cleanliness in the shower/bathroom, but then again people live here, so you can't expect it to be spotless. There are two very friendly dogs on site. There were cereals and milk for breakfast, as well as fruit. The hosts are very accomodating, and even let me borrow a jacket when it turned unseasonably cold one day. I would definitely stay here again. "
625578,2854089,2012-11-10,1562900,Funa,"It was a great stay, very easy. Gray is so nice, friendly and accommodating."
625578,2887809,2012-11-15,3914413,V. Lee,Gray and Jude were great.  I had a wonderful stay and felt very welcome.  I would highly recommend this stay.
625578,3189809,2012-12-30,4375245,Tao,Great location! The house is groovy and Gray made me feel right at home.
625578,3363009,2013-01-17,2532174,James,"Gray was a total chief. He picked me and my friend up from the airport. He cooked us breakfast the next day (on his day off!) and also drove us around in his car to see the sights of austin we would not have seen as nor me or my friend can drive.  

The house is so nice. Very cosy, always warm and in a great spot. We could walk to 6th street  in about 12 minutes. Then from there you can explore the city. 

His two dogs George and Grace are so friendly and adorable , they are a lot of fun. 

Our room was perfect as well. Towels provided. A closet each. Also have cable TV Hooked up as well. 

We had a wonderful time staying with Gray and Jude. thanks for everything ! 
"
625578,3445132,2013-01-30,4820567,Alexi,"Gray was an exceptional host.  My stay with him was my first experience with airbnb and it was a great introduction.  He let me borrow his laptop for the duration of my stay and the bedroom was very clean and comfortable.  I never took him up on it but he offered me a hot breakfast each morning and was overall a great host.  

His home is in a great location: it's about a 3 minute walk to Franklin's (probably the best BBQ in Austin) and about 15 - 20 minutes to downtown, Rainey St., 6th St., the Capitol, and other attractions while being very accessible via the I-35.  I rented a bike for a day and it was a pleasant ride from UT all the way to South Congress and back.

Also, his two dogs are adorable and a lot of fun to romp around with in the backyard, if you so choose to."
625578,3510551,2013-02-10,1810448,Chen,"Lu and I spent one night at gray's house to celebrate our Chinese New Year. Gray is an excellent and caring host. We did like his tech-inventions, which are really interesting!!We like all of them! 

Gray's house is near many attractions, like State Capitol, UT-Austin. We really enjoy our stay in Austin. 

We highly recommend Gray's house!"
625578,3583908,2013-02-19,2143615,Cathy,Staying with Jude and Gray was a great experience. Playing with the app-controlled lights was too much fun. And George and Gracie? Dogs are indeed companions. We had a lot of fun and would totally do it again. 
625578,3621694,2013-02-26,3892513,Suzanne,"Gray and Jude were lovely and the room was nice. The house was a bit further from downtown than I expected (I was going to the convention center), so if you're on foot you'll get some exercise, but I had a very pleasant stay."
625578,3687243,2013-03-04,4498230,Martin,"Gray was really nice, he was able to pick me up from the airport, the location is pretty good, only 15-20 min walk from DT."
625578,3778959,2013-03-14,3673581,Todd,"I needed a place to stay that was close enough to walk downtown, and this didn't disappoint.  It was an absolutely great experience and Gray and Judy were very hospitable.  "
625578,3832629,2013-03-19,1433366,Kathlyn,"I stayed for 3 days during SXSW. It was a short walking distance from downtown, very clean and an easy great stay. Gray, Jude, and the dogs were super warm and great hosts. The yard is very tranquil & peaceful. All in all a wonderful stay!"
625578,3908845,2013-03-26,4995381,Amy,"This was our first Air B&B experience and we had a wonderful time.  The home is warm and welcoming, people and pooches are kind -- truly reflective of the Austin culture.  Thanks y'all!"
625578,4079689,2013-04-08,5110903,Charles,Gray and Judy were fantastic and helpful when needed. They also were quiet as church mice when you needed to sleep. The location couldn't of been better. I was able to walk downtown quickly and nice restaurants and coffee houses in even less time. This place is a deal!
625578,4169197,2013-04-15,5709112,Corbi,"Gray's house was a perfect place for the girls and I to stay while visiting Austin.  In my opinion, staying in a welcoming home is so much more fulfilling than a night in an impersonal hotel, We had use of their bright cheery kitchen, and I enjoyed my coffee out by the pond in the back yard while the girls slept in. 
The beds were very comfortable, the company was engaging, and my girls fell in love with the dogs, George and Gracie! We will plan on visiting again next time we are in Austin."
625578,4250390,2013-04-22,5476801,Brindle,The room was cozy & the hosts were very accommodating!  It was a terrific location for us as well.  Love that old house!! 
625578,4359703,2013-04-30,5266021,Tom,"Gray and Jude (along with George and Grace - the friendly beasts) not only made me feel welcome but were both sociable and helpful during my brief stay for the Austin Psych Fest.
Their house is located just east of the centre - it takes only a few minutes walk westwards to reach the Texas State Capitol and the centre itself.
My room was large enough and cool to relax in - it's a quiet area too, so I had no disturbances at all. In fact, this is a great way to experience the city, rather than stay in a cold hotel downtown - for a non-US citizen, it's a good insight into how everyday Austin life is experienced by its citizens.
Hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did!
"
625578,4583782,2013-05-13,2414006,Brandon,We had a great stay at Gray's. Everything is as described and pictured. Dogs are super friendly and fun to play with. Thought the bathroom was really cool.
625578,4718165,2013-05-21,57437,Rachel,"We had a lovely stay! The room is comfortable and the house has everything you'll need. It was also very easy to come and go as we pleased. The house was a bit further than anticipated, from where we were spending most of our time downtown, but cabs were surprisingly affordable. Most importantly: there was air conditioning in our room! Thanks for letting us stay!  "
625578,6776922,2013-08-25,206910,Yasmine,"Gray was a great host, the room was lovely. The house and the dogs are adorable and although if I ever went back to Austin I would definitely rent a car, Gray's house is walking distance from a lot of cool places in east downtown. No complaints whatsoever, really enjoyed my stay."
625578,7368991,2013-09-17,8075310,Jen,We were in Austin for only 3 nights and the highlight was to see the Longhorms play Ole Miss. Grays place was in an ideal location to explore downtown / 6th street and attend the game. Grays communication was timely and helpful. The room was large but the house is extremely cluttered and dusty. Must be a dog lover as his too are very affectionate. 
625578,7542619,2013-09-23,8943030,Nicole,"Great host!
What you see is what you get - cozy and charming home in a great location. It’s close to anything and everything downtown.  Jude was a great tour guide - her advice and recommendations were spot on! 
"
625578,8443857,2013-10-31,1245962,Joey,"Gray and Judith were wonderful, caring hosts that made me feel right at home. I had a longer reservation than most, but they made me part of the family right from the beginning.

The dogs are lovely (but energetic), and the house has all the amenities you could want, and probably a few you didn't know you wanted until Gray shows you. 

The location is a huge plus, you're in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from all the best parts of Austin. 

Highly recommended!"
625578,9066349,2013-12-03,5410773,Kristian & Lauren,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Gray.
His house was great and just as described. It was in a great location, and just a short stroll away from some good B.B.Q places.
Both of his dogs also made our time even more enjoyable.

Would defiantly recommend Gray's place if you're in the area."
625578,9857517,2014-01-14,5587749,Martin,"We had a wonderful stay with Jude and Gray. The room and the house were really lovely and decorated with style.
We really appreciated that fresh coffee was ready when we woke up every morning.
Conveniently located within walking distance from downtown and the Capitol."
625578,10453882,2014-02-19,10683792,Jonathan,My stay with Gray was great. Everything i needed was provided and more. They were even nice enough to give me a ride to a nearby venue. I would definitely come back if i ever visit Austin Texas again.
625578,10730001,2014-03-04,660611,Justin,"Gary was a great host, incredibly welcoming, and gave great advice for what to do around Austin. The house was in a great location and the room was spacious and comfortable."
625578,10916974,2014-03-13,3673581,Todd,"My second stay at this charming home, close to all the downtown action Austin has to offer.  Once again, Gray and Judith were great hosts and made my visit stress free.  "
625578,10997471,2014-03-17,1477718,Ellie,"We had the best day at Gray's house. The location was perfect,just 15 min walk from 6th street,and the house was lovely and very quiet. We didn't get to meet Gray sadly as he was away but his roommate was super nice and helpful and even gave us breakfast every morning.I highly recommend staying at Gray's house,we can't wait to be back next year!"
625578,11303054,2014-03-29,8506324,Tracy,"Nice location-- we were able to walk to restaurants, bars, UT and the capitol quite easily. The room was very comfortable and accommodated 2 people very comfortably. We're glad we chose this room for our visit to Austin!"
625578,11415866,2014-04-01,13301537,Kymberly And Nathaniel," What a wonderful place to stay.  Jude and Gray were great and George and Grace are awesome dogs.  A quick walk to 6th street, but quiet and out of the way, too."
625578,11637635,2014-04-10,5018494,Hien,"We love this place's location, just a convenient walk to downtown, the capitol, Franklin BBQ, UT university, the whole deal.  If driving, the house is easy to get to/from the freeway too.  Judith and Gray are very accomodating and friendly hosts.  The daily breakfast of fruits and cereal/bread was what we needed.  We love their recomendations when we asked for it.  Overall, we're happy with our stay and would recommend to others."
625578,13455344,2014-05-27,15782373,Eric,This was my first experience with Airbnb and it will not be my last. The home was warm and cozy and felt like home away from home. I did not get to meet Gray as he was out of town but Judith took great care of me. She was very helpful in steering me to great places in Austin. Be prepared. Austin has a lot of great places. This stop certainly added to my experience on Cross Country 2014. 
625578,13556670,2014-05-30,15957600,Louise,The location is excellent!  The host is friendly and helpful.  Enjoyed our time!
625578,13763065,2014-06-03,11313202,Katie,"Staying at Gray's house was wonderful and I would recommend it to anyone. He was very helpful and his home is lovely. Judith was helpful and suggested some Austin things to do. Their two dogs, George and Grace, were extremely friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed petting them any chance I got. It was easy to find from the highway and not hard at all to navigate around the neighborhood. "
625578,13937583,2014-06-08,7406201,Jake,"Great comfy place in central, hip East Austin.
Great host and comfortable room with cold A/C, Tv and good bed. "
625578,14006694,2014-06-09,16490132,Nate,"Great location, comfortable room right by the front door, and the host is great!"
625578,16192125,2014-07-22,18331458,Lyly,My boyfriend and I stayed with Gray for a night since we made a spontaneous trip to Austin. Gray was incredibly accommodating and responsive to our later check-in (especially since it was our first time using Airbnb). His house is as charming as the photos and the location was perfect for walking to dinner in downtown. I definitely would recommend staying here if you're ever in town. We definitely will :)
625578,16518155,2014-07-28,18330497,Carol,"Gray wasn't very often in evidence, but his proxy, Tom, was there to greet me and to try to answer my questions and check on me. He was very kind and helpful, though he couldn't always answer all the questions I had. For example, neither one of us could figure out how to grind coffee to put in the coffee maker for a breakfast cup, so one day I had tea (and a tea bag that wasn't ""strawberry tea"" or ""peach tea"" or ""mint tea"" was hard to locate). 
The property is much more cluttered than in the photos, and the garden is just weeds and dead vegetables. "
625578,16963104,2014-08-04,575262,Vivian,"Gray was a great host!  He wasn't home to meet me during my time of arrival but arranged for Tom to let us in.  Tom welcomed us with open arms along with their 2 friendly dogs George and Grace.  I met Gray later during our stay and he was extremely friendly and communicated well with me the entire trip.

The house is exactly as described - a no frills, post hippie eclectic space near downtown/UT.  We stayed for one night and really enjoyed our stay.  I would definitely stay here again if needed!  Thank you Gray! :)"
625578,17320318,2014-08-10,13579844,Cyril,Nice and comfortable room in a great neighborhood near downtown and UT. Gray is a great host and I hope I'll come again!
625578,18179736,2014-08-23,17883268,Summit,"Gray and his friend were very friendly, helpful, and made the stay a really nice one. the room and bed was a bit smaller than it seemed in the pic but it was a great price, and we had access to a lot of amenities in the house (such as the living room and patio) which made staying there comfortable. the dogs gracie and George are really nice too and it was fun watching them play in the yard. Shoutout to Tom, gray's friend, who was kind enough to offer and help us move into our new apartment by driving us and our belongings there. I would definitely recommend the place."
625578,18369279,2014-08-25,17893850,Jordan,Gray was a wonderful host and I would definitely stay here again on my trips to Austin. The location and price were both ideal!
625578,19271301,2014-09-09,16361374,Michelle,"This is a great place to stay in Austin. The house is charming, the room is extremely comfortable, and the location is excellent for downtown and UT. I stayed here for over two weeks while I was in town to work at UT, and it was a perfect location for this. I didn't have a car but managed perfectly between walking and buses, and there are the delights of East 11th Street nearby too. But the stand out thing about the house was the hosts. Gray and Tom were accommodating, kind, funny, thoughtful hosts -- never intrusive, but calmly ensuring that everything went smoothly, even the coffee machine. I am very grateful to them for making my stay in Austin so comfortable and enjoyable. And the other great pleasure of this house is Grace, a very charming dog who has been a brilliant companion for the last two weeks. "
625578,20744707,2014-10-05,8834912,Katy,"Staying with Jude was a delight! My boyfriend and I stayed here for ACL weekend and It was a in a perfect location, close to downtown and a nice walk to Zilker park. Jude was kind and easy to talk to, but also gave us privacy. She provided breakfast and allowed us to use her kitchen to cook in the morning. Very comfortable accommodation, I would recommend staying here! Thanks Jude!"
625578,21009620,2014-10-09,1557147,Ben,"Jude and her dog Gracy are lovely. I felt very welcome. But I wouldn't stay here again. It's a matter of personal taste. The house is very cluttered and in need of some basic care. Running an airbnb myself, it did not meet my standards. 
Lana"
625578,21197063,2014-10-13,4193107,Raquel,"Jude is an absolutely charming and warm person, she made me feel at ""home"" right away.
The Room has lots of light and you have all the commodities of a home: access to the kitchen, one bath and one shower, AC & a ceiling fan, a back and front yard and porch, a very comfy living room and a very friendly dog.
You come in and out of the house as you please and need.
It's not as close to downtown as I thought it would be but it is doable if you are ready for a good 25min walk/hike. "
625578,21871551,2014-10-26,8457425,Charles,We stayed in Austin for the Texas Book Festival.  This location was very close to the capitol grounds.  The room was very clean and spacious.  Jude met us when we arrived and walked us through the important information.  Then we were on our own.  We had a wonderful stay.
625578,22136078,2014-10-31,17130796,Mark,"We very much enjoyed our one night stay with Jude  and David. It's a charming house in a nice neighbourhood in East downtown. It's conveniently located just a 10 min walk to the Capitol building. 
Jude and David were very helpful with recommendations for sightseeing and dining options and were  all round perfect hosts. Good communication  and clear instructions for arrival."
625578,22227674,2014-11-02,19060702,Elliot,Jude was very welcoming and kind.  The house was spacious yet cozy and there were lots of goodies for breakfast and snack.  Location was great because it was close to downtown without feeling you were in the city center.
625578,22519191,2014-11-09,2245227,Laurie,"Jude and David are generous and easy-going hosts. I was delighted by the availability of fresh fruit--a godsend to a traveler that is eating meals out--and that the coffee maker was ready to go in the morning. The location is very convenient to downtown, about a $4-6 Uber ride away. A cool, funky old book and art-filled home with a comfy living room, bed, and plenty of towels and extra blankets and pillows for comfort. Being greeted by the dog, Grace, was a sweet bonus. I only wish I had had more time to visit with the hosts and explore the grounds."
625578,22902576,2014-11-17,22729134,Emily,"I had a lovely stay in a nice room, with great company.  Thanks!"
625578,23140418,2014-11-23,11693089,Jamie,"Jude, David and Gracie were lovely hosts. The house had everything I needed for my stay and location wise it was brilliant."
625578,28115757,2015-03-18,6893345,Christine,"Jude's home in Austin is a beautiful, warm, welcoming space, and Jude is the perfect host.  Thoughtful (thank you for the foot soak!!), generous, and welcoming.  I would stay here every time I am in Austin!"
625578,28298792,2015-03-22,216107,Craig,Jude was awesome and the house was full of character. I had the best time. They were so helpful with everything! I highly recommend this place for a unique trip to Austin!
625578,45861441,2015-09-06,24262085,Zack,"Jasmine was a great host, and I really enjoyed the time I spent with her and her daughter Vivian. I was also pleasantly surprised by how close the house is to downtown -- I actually walked to work a couple days.

As a note, the house does have a bit of a community house / cooperative vibe. There's a lot of clutter, though it clearly has soul, and this came as a bit of a surprise to me when I first arrived."
625578,47809877,2015-09-21,43436761,Katharine,"Jasmine (Jude's cousin) was great!  She was hospitable and accessible, yet very respectful of my space and privacy.  The room was comfortable and the house was welcoming. The neighborhood is conveniently located to downtown, UT and E 11th. I was able to walk most places and could easily catch and Uber if my destination was a bit further than I wanted to walk.  I felt very at ease coming and going. "
625578,49989157,2015-10-08,1195816,Mônica E Leandro,"I loved my time in this house! Jasmine was really kind and helpful, also providing delicious surprises like fresh muffins that she baked ;) Vivien is the cutest little girl ever, and made my time in Austin much more funny. Denis was very helpful with great tips and was a pleasure to listen him a bit about the history of the city. "
625578,50178837,2015-10-10,14360409,Deena,"What a wonderful stay! The location was perfect and the room was clean and spacious. We loved the fact that as soon and we walked in the front door, our room was directly to the right. Which meant we didn't have to disturb the rest of the house while we were in and out. Definitely recommend this place!"
625578,50496025,2015-10-12,43800098,Kevin,"Welcoming, warm, and respectful."
625578,51922541,2015-10-25,25174647,Thor,"Jude was unavailable during my stay, but fortunately her incredible cousin, Jasmine was there to make my visit to Austin one to remember. Her hospitality was great, and she made sure that I explored and enjoyed all that Austin had to offer. Next time I come back to Austin, I'll definitely check this place for availability. "
625578,52202660,2015-10-26,47306239,Randy,"I got this airbnb last minute. Although Jasmine wasn't at home, she made dure I could get in the house to put my luggage away. 

When I got to the house, Dennis who also lives there welcomed me with a good cup of coffee.

The room was great and the location was perfect, just a ten minute walk to the citycentre.

I met Jasmine later that dat and she was really friendly, her daugther was amazing too. I think it is too bad that I could only stay with Jasmine for 1 night. I felt right at home!
"
625578,52450932,2015-10-29,3618904,Alice,"I caught Jasmine on a bad day (Jude was away on travels). Although she had confirmed my arrival time, when I got there, the room was not ready and she had forgot to send me the code to enter the house so I spent about 30 minutes with the other guest trying to track her down. When I finally met Jasmine, she forgot when I would be arriving and forgot that she forgot to send me the code. Fortunately, the other guest was kind enough to check out early so I can have begin my stay. Because I was there for work, I was more time conscious of time than I would have been otherwise. Of course, Jasmine was extremely apologetic and kindly made me delicious muffin the next day. As some reviews indicate, unlike the photos, the place is much darker and cluttered, which came as a surprise. Furniture is also very old - the bed was very uncomfortable and made a lot of sounds as I shifted around. The house bustles like a community house with two AirBnB spots in the house, house-mate (a man who seemed to be in his 60's), Jasmine, Vivian (her daughter) and possibly Jude when she's back - this trait may be a positive or a negative depending on what you're looking for. Everyone is super friendly and respectful. I was in Austin for work and heavily relied on the wifi, which was unstable multiple times throughout the stay. Also, there's little to no reception for cellular network in the bedroom which meant I needed to step aside to make calls. Overall, it had its ups and downs but for the price, I would not stay here again."
781716,3210559,2013-01-01,1191746,Traci,"This house is an absolutely fabulous location! Polvos and Bouldin Creek are two of my fav Austin eateries, and both are just down the street! The interior is cute; with a funky Austin vibe. All the amenities you could ask for! I would definitely recommend this place!"
781716,3233772,2013-01-02,1719265,Jacob,My family and I had a great stay at Atomic Ranch! The house has a very cool vibe and is in a great location. It was the perfect base of operations during New Years Eve. Angel was a very helpful host and I highly recommend staying at one of her locations.
781716,3406930,2013-01-24,1710221,Garrett,"I rented Angels place for two coworkers.  It was a great location and they really enjoyed the accomodations.  We were scheduled to be in town for two and half weeks but we ended up needing to stay longer to finish, she was very open and helpful for allowing us to stay longer.  It was a great time at the Atomic Ranch.    "
781716,3461258,2013-02-02,4632892,Jennie,Angels house was awesome and funky. Really big and the beds were so comfy! I highly recommend !! It's a great place to go with a bunch of freinds as it can sleep up to 5 or so people. 
781716,3516304,2013-02-11,4718258,Jessica,"Atomic ranch was the perfect place in Austin! So cute and stylish but also so close to everything we needed!

Angel was very accommodating and communication was easy.

I would definitely recommend this for any Austin visitors!

"
781716,3617800,2013-02-26,1800677,Ted,"A great place to stay within walking distance to all the great restaurants and places to see on S. Congress. We had plenty of room for our party of 7, and overall the house was very comfortable. Will be looking to book this house again for my next stay in Austin."
781716,3641338,2013-02-26,1563371,Pat,"Nice stay at the Atomic Ranch - perfect location (for UT and some great coffee shops), excellent value, very clean.  We didn't get to meet Angel, but she was super responsive via text.  The electronic front door lock makes it really convenient when parties arrive or leave at different times, etc.  Look forward to staying again on a future visit to Austin!"
781716,3676767,2013-03-03,4871514,Helen,"The Atomic Ranch was such a cool place to stay for our wedding night! The house is very Austin with funky details, plus it's also very comfortable! The key code door was very easy and convenient and we definitely appreciated the bottle of wine waiting for us! The house is in a great location too so I would definitely recommend it to those traveling to Austin."
781716,3721614,2013-03-08,1569243,Rany,"The ranch was comfortable and perfectly located. Every morning my we made a cup of coffee with the french press or drove to the very close summer moon coffee bar. Also very close by were multiple food truck lots and delicious places to satisfy any belly. I asked about bikes and Angel conveniently brought over her bikes, helmets, locks, and a bike rack from her other listing. She was respectful of privacy, accommodating, and a gracious host. The space provides plenty of spaces for sleeping and lounging. There is also tons of storage through out the house for those in small parties looking to stow away toiletries in the bathroom or snacks in the kitchen. I'd definitely would stay at the ranch again!"
781716,3771804,2013-03-13,988749,Thomas,"What a nice time we had at Atomic Ranch. It's a really comfortably place (a bit smaller than it looks on the pictures, though) and decorated with tons of love for detail. 

Angel moved out while we lived there and left us with beer, coffee, juice and milk - so generous!

This place is highly recommended for SXSW: a bus stop is nearby and if you have a car it takes you 10 minutes whithout the risk of traffic jams to get to the Convention Center where parking is 10$ per day. 

We had a blast!"
781716,3862504,2013-03-22,5139264,Jessica,Angel was so great and accommodating! The house was so perfect and just as cool as it looked in the pictures! I would definitely go through her again if ever in Austin! 
781716,3923767,2013-03-27,5256115,Teresa,Enjoyed my stay!  Very cute home! Easy to get to and easy access to downtown and other areas. Would stay here again.
781716,3951576,2013-03-30,151673,Cassidy,The house is spacious and very clean. It is on a somewhat busy street but we weren't bothered by the noise or anything else and the driveway and carport are nice amenities. Angel was very communicative and really willing to help and offer advice. We definitely had a good experience. 
781716,3965219,2013-03-31,26917,Robert,"Beautifully furnished, large house in a great location. Host was very helpful in arranging a late checkin and just wish I could have stayed longer."
781716,4032028,2013-04-04,4979486,Rudy,"I recently stayed at Angel's Atomic Ranch, along with my wife and two kids (11,13). We absolutely loved the place. It was clean, easily accessible and located in a great location. We were basically 5 minutes away from everything. The house had everything we needed during our stay. And if you take a nap in the master bedroom, good luck waking up. The pillows and mattress were extremely comfortable. Thanks again Angel for being such a great host. Would recommend this place to anyone interested.  "
781716,4105937,2013-04-10,4870749,Tama,"Clean, cute, convenient, and comfy vacation abode."
781716,4214949,2013-04-19,5627910,Anne,"My husband and biz partner stayed at The Atomic Ranch for 2 nights. They said the place was great. Angel was a pleasure to do business with. Very communicative and available.
Much better than a hotel in our opinion because you have a kitchen, separate bedrooms-with comfortable beds and the price was excellent compared to the hotels I had researched. Thanks Angel! :) Anne"
781716,4228084,2013-04-20,5885413,A.J.,Angel was easy to communicate with and the house was a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel.  Loved my night there and would definitely do it again...
781716,4267007,2013-04-23,299719,Susie,Loved the Atomic Ranch & all of its details and offerings.  It's the perfect retreat!  Nicely decorated and was very comfortable for the 3 of us.  Very close to everything & a really hassle free stay.  Angel was easily accessible via phone when we needed her. I definitely would stay here again
781716,4301446,2013-04-26,2429040,Sean,Atomic Ranch was great!  Excellent access to all that South Austin has to offer.  Angel's communication is superb as is her kindness.  Highly recommended!
781716,4725944,2013-05-22,4672370,Emily,"We had a wonderful time and Angel was great.  She was very responsive prior to arrival and during our stay.  The location is convenient, though there is some street noise.  The washer was broken during our stay, but there is a laundry mat walking distance and a dryer at the house.  We really loved the house and would definitely stay there again."
781716,4748855,2013-05-23,5459397,Micael,"Absolutely delightful and charming, host & house. I did a photoshoot here and the home/decor was perfect. Thank you Angel!"
781716,4758197,2013-05-24,1911620,Sydney,Angel was a great host! The Ranch is a beautiful house and a great place to stay. Very comfortable and wonderfully decorated. I would stay again in a heartbeat. 
781716,4782336,2013-05-25,4618792,Chris,Angel couldn't have made it any easier during our stay! She went the extra mile to make sure the house was perfect even under short notice! Would definitely rent from Angel again in the future. Description was right on and the Atomic Ranch made a great place to stay on our impromptu road trip through Central Texas!
781716,4830170,2013-05-28,1978617,Ziomara,"We had a great stay at the Atomic Ranch. The house is in a great location. It was clean, and stocked with all of the necessities (linens, soap, dishes) needed for a group of 6 girls. Angel was easy to reach, answered all of our questions, and entry/exit from the house was convenient with a lock box entry. Would definitely stay at this house again! "
781716,5004884,2013-06-07,4801944,Kerry,"Angel's house on west Oltorf was a perfect location, all the amenities were in great working order and her attention to detail is awesome.  The house felt like our home during our stay and when we return we will get in touch with Angel :-)"
781716,5167543,2013-06-16,370878,Shelly,"I live in Austin, but we used the Atomic Ranch for two coworkers who were visiting for the week so I got to spend some time there too. It's one of the best AirBNB rentals I've stayed in. Everything was spotless when we checked in and Angel had everything we needed for the week - including recommendations for what to see nearby. 

The location is also great. We were within walking distance of food trailers, cute little Austin shops, etc. If you're visiting the city and need a unique South Austin place to stay, I'd highly recommend this  home! "
781716,5226915,2013-06-19,4755428,Jaclynn,"The Atomic Ranch was the perfect spot for our Girls Weekend!  The place was decorated nicely, super clean and the AC was nice and cool.  The house is within minutes of almost everything you want to see in Austin.  Perfect location!  Angel was a gracious host.  We would definitely stay again."
781716,5254385,2013-06-20,4677907,Arthur,"This place and host were awesome! It was really relaxing and spacious, perfect for groups too. The host made our stay enjoyable  and was very easy to communicate with. Definitely recommend it!"
781716,5326768,2013-06-24,6826617,Jay,"We stayed at the Atomic Ranch last weekend and loved it. It's a cute 2/1 that fit us perfectly. Great comfy bed, and nice spacious home. My wife and I escaped from the heat to chill out on the couches. I even checked out the bunk beds, and they were comfy too. But a full grown man should not attempt to sleep on the top bed! Thanks Angel!"
781716,5386008,2013-06-27,4754762,Diana,"Atomic Ranch was a great place to stay, and Angel was the perfect host! The house has a fun and funky Austin vibe, and is located just enough off the beaten path to be quiet, but only a short drive from the city's many attractions. I would definitely book this house again if I found myself in the area. Thank you Angel!"
781716,5424071,2013-06-29,2380933,Heather,"We loved it here! It was a cute house in a VERY convenient location. It's on a busy street, but you really don't notice when you're inside and it didn't bother us at all. Angel was great, very helpful and responsive when we couldn't figure out the TV at 10pm. Thanks Angel!"
781716,5503881,2013-07-02,1223064,Brian,"The house was great! We had a wonderful time, would recommend to others."

781716,6127425,2013-07-31,5373308,Katrina,"The Ranch was an amazing place to stay! We didn't meet Angel but she was really friendly and easy to communicate with. She even Etch-a-Sketched a welcome for us! The Ranch is spacious and all of the little decorating touches add great style to the place. It is in a super convenient location, in a really safe area and walking distance to really great restaurants and bars and all of the vintage and quirky gift and home wares stores on South Congress. Myself and my three friends loved our stay and we hope to visit again some day."
781716,6220048,2013-08-04,1714101,Sara,"I hosted a workshop for ten of my interns, four of which stayed in Angel's Atomic Ranch. The students absolutely loved the quirky decor and and Angel's welcoming vibe as soon as we arrived. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for what Austin is all about. "
781716,6241333,2013-08-05,527682,Stacey,"Great get away in Austin. House was adorable: plenty of beds, clean and well stocked with towels, housewares etc.  Check  in and check out super easy. Host was quick with response to texts. She stayed in touch (but not too much) to ensure we didnt need anything (information etc). "
781716,6384346,2013-08-10,3626884,Alex,"Very comfortable, cute place in a great area just outside the city. Angel was great to deal with, would definitely stay there again. Loved it!"
781716,6421076,2013-08-12,5912641,Nicole,"After a week of staying in hotels, the Atomic Ranch was a comfortable, quiet, welcome change of pace. My family felt very comfortable in this home. We were grateful to have an open floor plan and enjoyed the funky and fun decor. It was close to everything we wanted to do and an oasis when we wanted to rest. Thanks so much, Angel!"
781716,6656056,2013-08-20,1622362,Kat,Angel's house was perfect for our stay. The three of us had a great time!

781716,7296598,2013-09-14,5777181,Chris,"We had a great stay at the Atomic Ranch. Angel gave us timely responses/information and the house manual provided in a notebook at the house (in addition to online) was very thorough and easy to understand.

The location is great (we actually live in Austin and just wanted a getaway) and we walked to dinner at Lenoir and breakfast at the Bouldin Creek Cafe without breaking a sweat.

For the size (multiple bedrooms) the price is insanely affordable."
781716,7368737,2013-09-17,8011698,Amanda,Angel definitely lives up to her name! And the Atomic Ranch's attention to detail is simply wonderful! A clean safe environment that I would highly recc'd to anyone visiting Austin for sure! Angel is very accommodating and does not charge a hefty cleaning fee like some other's do which makes this place a steal! :)  
781716,7470143,2013-09-21,6886260,Rachel,"We LOVED our stay at Atomic Ranch.  There is plenty of space to relax and an adorable kitchen to have morning coffee!  Angela has a list of her favorite places in Austin which we used to try out a few new restaurants and food trucks.  Thanks, Angela!"
781716,7544844,2013-09-24,259860,Angela,"The Atomic Ranch was perfect for our group- affordable, comfortable, and a nice neighborhood. Angel was available for any questions we had. I'd love to stay there again."
781716,7718648,2013-09-30,4730310,Mercer,"Angel's place was perfect! Everything worked - i.e. appliances, a/c, hot water, etc. The furnishing were adorable and comfortable. The location was great. I was a little worried about being right on Oltorf, but it was easy to get in and out of the property. I know Austin well, so I knew we'd be close to a lot of cool things. Can't believe how improved this neighborhood is since I last lived in Austin 5 years ago. The house was smaller than I had imagined it, but no matter. We fit perfectly and felt right at home. Angel is a sweetheart!"
781716,7786385,2013-10-02,7991958,Abby,SUCH A GREAT PLACE!!! would love to stay here again!
781716,7996735,2013-10-12,2357808,Alissa,"SUCH a cute Airbnb find. Awesomely decorated and spacious house close to SoCo, with everything you need to enjoy your stay in Austin. Angel left us a bunch of great suggestions for food and very clear instructions for everything in the house and for check in and out. A really (really) minor thing - the bins hadn't been emptied when we arrived, so all the bins (bathroom and kitchen) were still full of someone else's rubbish. But apart from this the house was really neat and clean, and extremely comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!"
781716,8087623,2013-10-15,8732624,Gabe,"We were a band staying in town for multiple days during the ACL Festival. Great place to stay. Good location in south Austin. Very clean and vibrant house. Lots of little touches such as color walls, toy dinosaurs and the penny covered countertop make it feel more like a home. Beats a hotel anyday. Angel was a fantastic host."
781716,8153665,2013-10-18,487404,Diana,"We had a great stay at the Atomic Ranch. It was really easy coordinating everything and Angel was very responsive to all of our questions. There was everything we needed when we got there- towels, linens,etc.There were actually only 2 true bedrooms and the third is kind of and off-shoot of the living room but is not enclosed. However, it all worked out for our group of 7 people. If you are willing to get close and share beds, you could fit even more. The place was really clean and the location is also great- easy walk to food trucks on S. 1st and a quick car or taxi everywhere else! Perfect for three night stay in Austin. Thanks, Angel!"
781716,8211598,2013-10-21,8158981,Tara,"Modest home pepped up with fabulous decor in a great location. Equidistant from lots of great stuff (Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co., 512, South Congress, Central Market...) Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in ATX. Fits five pretty perfectly--there's room for more, but it would probably get a little cramped (only one bathroom, also)."
781716,8268284,2013-10-22,7967023,Harriet E,Our stay at the Atomic Ranch was terrific and flawless.  Angel was in communication with us the entire time.  The place was so cute and very clean.  The keyless entry was a very nice feature and we really enjoyed the central location in South Austin.  We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!  Thanks Angel!
781716,8292897,2013-10-24,2530214,Carrie,We truly enjoyed our stay at the atomic ranch house.  Super cute place in a good location.  My son enjoyed the bunk beds and we all enjoyed the roku box!  We've stayed in a bunch of different houses in Austin but will definitely be back to this one!
781716,8344719,2013-10-27,1990435,Kelly,"My bridal party and myself had a last slumber party before I got married and loved the space. It was a chic, homey place with a lot of spunk! Super easy check in and check out and in a terrific part of town. Would suggest anyone trying to get a good dose of Austin flavor to stay here!"
781716,8406455,2013-10-29,2270085,Joe,"My wife and I had a wonderful weekend at the Atomic Ranch! Usually when we visit Austin we stay with friends, or when we want some alone time, in a majorly overpriced hotel. Our stay at Angel's house beat any of those experiences, hands down. We'll definitely be staying here again when we're in town! It's the perfect spot, especially if you're going to be spending time in South Austin."
781716,8690964,2013-11-12,6077722,Devon,"This place is the BOMB ! Angel's a great host and her house makes you feel like you are living in the past, present, and future ALL AT ONCE !!

Not only is the house amazing, but there's also a ton of great stuff within walking distance -- Bouldin Creek Cafe for a delicious breakfast, ABGB for a delicious drank and G&S Lounge for a delicious round of air hockey (not to be missed), and if you have a car or take public transit, then the world is your oyster with this place as your home base.
 
Thanks for the great time Angel!"
781716,8736524,2013-11-14,5272851,Adam,"Atomic Ranch is a must stay in Austin! Well maintained accommodations! Everything was immaculate from sparkling clean house, soft towels, clean sheets, and inviting decor. Atomic Ranch has everything you need. I can't think of negative aspect of the ranch other than a dishwasher might be nice but, that wouldn't fit the era of the Atomic Ranch theme."
781716,8781532,2013-11-18,8816375,Darren,"Awesome place to stay. Angel was very efficient. Not too much communication, not too little. All by text and email, which is perfect. 

The house is a nice very small ranch house on a modestly busy street, lots of sidewalks, lots if funky restaurants, easy to and from downtown and parks. It's a 2 bedroom small house. There is a two part family room and open kitchen. There are a few decent sleeper sofas. Angel totally outfitted the kitchen. This was huge for us and incredibly nice. 

Parking is under a carport. Tiny back yard. Quiet neighbors. 

One very big tip:  there is keyless entry and it worked the night we came in very late. This helped Angel out and was simple. But it didn't work after this first night. I would strongly getting the code and the key. Both. 

Angel is a pro. "
781716,8826919,2013-11-19,2030450,Jenni!,"Some friends and I were popping into town for a graduation. This is a perfect spot, very well located with loads of Austin charm. Plus Angel couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. "
781716,8899107,2013-11-25,1809365,Stephanie,"We stayed at the funky Atomic Ranch for a reunion of 5 friends and one child and it was wonderful. Due to forty degree weather and a rainy weekend, we ended up spending more time in the house than anticipated, but it proved to be a lovely place to hang out. The location cannot be beat, Angel was a great resource in answering all of our our questions, the decor was 100% Austin and it proved to be a great place to gather together with old friends for the weekend. "
781716,9022332,2013-12-02,6920228,Susan,"We loved the Atomic Ranch! It was the perfect size for my husband, our two year old, my parents and even our boxer named Bacon! The house was neat, clean and the decor was fun and unique. My daughter couldn't get enough of the dinosaurs everywhere. The home's location is perfect for lots of Austin fun! We especially loved it is just blocks from the ABGB. What a great brewery/pizza place! Thanks so much for a great Airbnb experience!"
781716,9191530,2013-12-12,9753081,Trevor,The atomic ranch was perfect for us while we were attending our conference at the Hyatt. Would recommend this place to anybody. It's location is right near the bus stop and made it very convenient to get where we needed to go. AWESOME!!
781716,9205575,2013-12-13,600350,Christa,The atomic ranch was exactly as we expected. A hip little house that was perfect for our very short stay in Austin. 
781716,9325467,2013-12-21,10603057,Leah,Angel and the Atomic Ranch were amazing! Angel responded within minutes of my request notification and made the process effortless.  The keyless entry made it easy to gain access to property and the house was immaculate upon arrival.  I will definitely stay at the atomic ranch next time I visit Austin.  
781716,9377400,2013-12-24,1124961,Glenn,My buddy and I had a great Austin weekend at the Atomic Ranch.   Angel has curated a great home away from home from the neo-50's theme to the thorough guide to Austin.   It was a bit cold for Austin but the ranch's heat kicked in when needed and was sufficient.   Angel made it easy to check-in and out and I couldn't have asked for a nicer getaway!
781716,9419668,2013-12-28,8672415,Christopher,"Needed a place to stay in Austin for my wife and 8 month old child. Her needs: a place with enough sitting space to have a few of her Austin friends over for drinks.
Baby's needs: a safe place to crawl, eat, and crap
My needs: close enough to South Congress Street so I could sneak out to a late show at the Continental Club after everyone went to sleep.

The Atomic Ranch met all of these needs quite nicely. Plenty of seating space, kid friendly, and a 20 minute, safe walk (or $7 cab ride) to the Continental Club. It's also 2 blocks from a sketchy-looking, but surprisingly well-stocked convenience store (replete with a decent beer selection), and about 6 blocks from a nice brewery.

Angel was easy to deal with---plenty of communication so I knew someone was there if we needed her, but not so much that it was annoying. Everything was clean and as described.  Fun and interesting, if not luxurious, decor.

The only (minor) negatives are that the beds are not very comfortable, and the house is on a fairly busy street so backing out of the driveway is a little precarious. We also could not get the TV to display the Roku box, but I have a feeling that was operator error.

We will likely stay here next time we're in Austin."
781716,9493751,2013-12-31,231088,Gerald,Our stay at Angel's was great. The house is very comfortable and clean. The location between South 1st and Lamar is ideal for taking in all South Austin has to offer. Thank you Angel for allowing us to stay in your wonderful house.
781716,9522407,2014-01-01,3411020,Jeroen,"Excellent location, great Austin experience.... conveniënt house and overall very smooth process. We really enjoyed our stay, good value for money as well..."
781716,9576024,2014-01-02,10828164,Sunni,"Angel was an amazing host! Even though we only stayed one night and didn't ever get to meet Angel personally, she was very quick to respond to any questions and was very accommodating! I will definitely stay at her house again and hopefully for more than one night next time!"
781716,9836759,2014-01-13,4015009,Matthew,"The Atomic Ranch was great for our stay in Austin.  It was full of charm and had enough sleeping spots for our entire group.  

Location was great - walkable to S. Congress, short cab to either 6th or Rainey.  I would definitely stay here again."
781716,9884129,2014-01-16,7142672,Lise,Nice location; easy to go to and back from down town Austin. The house has a nice feel and very charming decor. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend the Atomic Ranch.
781716,10029444,2014-01-26,88682,Crystal,"This place is just like pictures! Very cute, eclectic, unique and cozy! 

Angel was very communicative about everything and the check in and check out process was a breeze. 

Would gladly stay here again! "
781716,10064831,2014-01-28,10880574,Becky,"I rented the space for a weekend party and Angel was pleasant, prompt and easy to work with.  She had everything taken care of and gave me all the information I needed to get in a settled.  Everything went smoothly and the party was a huge success.  Everyone commented on the gorgeous space, too!  I had a wonderful experience and would love to return."
781716,10307393,2014-02-12,8493075,Aaron,We could not have asked for a more responsive host--often got answers to questions in seconds.  The house was pretty awesome too--fun design and decent proximity to lots of fun stuff and good food.  I could live at Torchy's Tacos.
781716,10570445,2014-02-25,2429103,Sam,"We stayed at the Atomic Ranch and really enjoyed it. Its convenient and easy to get everywhere by driving, South Congress, South Lamar, and Downtown, with a few great places within walking distance too."
781716,11068368,2014-03-18,1212316,Marc,"Just as expected, warm, comfy and very retro. Great proximity to South Congress shopping and really easy to enter."
781716,11116406,2014-03-21,9359126,Doug,"Location, location, location! This was a great house for our 4 days in Austin. Close to Congress, 1st Ave, and downtown/park.
Parking for 2 cars if needed. Neighborhood safe and walkable. If you have kids, there's a small playground at the (huge) Catholic Church just across the street. There's also a high-end French restaurant behind the house with a large flock of peacocks- my kids loved watching them (Green Pastures restaurant- just walk toward the bamboo-fence house, then right at the corner- dead-ends at the back gate to green pastures).
I'd recommend this house to anyone, except late sleepers; there are dogs on all sides, and from about 7am on, barking is pretty regular and loud.
Angel was very receptive and timely in her texts. Never met her, but why would we if everything was working?"
781716,11280811,2014-03-28,5535230,Alex,Angel's place was great! Directions were precise and easy to follow. Location is perfect and the house is very comfortable...highly recommended!
781716,11313576,2014-03-29,6328306,Claudio,Angel thank you for a great experience. My friends and I were very comfortable there. We walked to S. Congress which was a breeze. the house has plenty of space and the beds were very comfortable. Plus its awesome. Thank you Angel!
781716,11453333,2014-04-03,5076797,Kim,The Atomic Ranch was amazing!!! The house was seriously so cute and Angel was so responsive and organized with everything about check in and bookings.  The house was in a great location to Soco and really got to explore some parts that we probably wouldn't have ventured out to if we hadn't stayed here.  It was very easy to get around Austin from here even with no car.  Angel makes some great recommendations on places to go.  The  house is decorated so cute and makes you instantly feel very welcomed. This was such an amazing experience on all accounts! Thanks again
781716,11652492,2014-04-10,6077091,Matt,"The house is awesome.  Location is great, easy to get around and lots of places within walking distance.

781716,12651060,2014-05-07,11315199,Bunny,"Ahh, Texas. We stayed in Angel's sweet pad and had an amazing time. Everything needed for an easy stay and so centrally located. We walked a lot of places! The house was such a great choice. Spacious enough for our big group of people. The extra bedding and towels a plenty made it a super comfy stay. We want to make this our go-to Austin house! Thanks Angel! Good times were had:)"
781716,12688632,2014-05-08,13360658,Anaelena,"We really enjoy Angel's  place,we had a problem with the AC an immediately she helped us . Location is awesome and the place is super cool!!!"

781716,12889084,2014-05-13,10620449,Mark,"Great house in a great neighborhood!  
All communication was fast and professional. I highly recommend staying here."
781716,12940129,2014-05-14,14770582,Mark,"My group of 4 ended up with one extra night in Austin and Angel was able to accommodate us at the last minute.  Not only that, but her place was very comfortable and very well decorated (coin countertop was cool).  Plus, it's right down the street from Magnolia Cafe, where we got some incredible gingerbread pancakes. Basically, her description is pretty much right on and this would be a great option for anyone looking to avoid cookie cutter hotel chains (yet retain their comforts)."
781716,12976864,2014-05-16,13895257,Angela,"So glad we stayed here. Gave us a feel for Austin which is what we wanted. Clean and comfortable. Privacy totally respected yet I felt like I could call host with questions if needed. She was kind and accessible. We walked to a great restaraunt she recommended in the handy dandy info folder at the house. Delicious and , again, off the beaten path. I think our experience   is why Airbnb was invented!  Thumbs up!"
781716,13060334,2014-05-19,8093783,Kendal,Cute house- well maintained.  Two bedrooms with a shared bathroom and sleeping for others in living room. Located on a busy street making pulling out of the drive way a bit tricky. She has made the house funky and fun. Linens/ sheets/ some dishes provided.
781716,13202894,2014-05-21,15648788,Adam,Visited Austin for a few days and wanted to stay somewhere other than a hotel!  House was great and very well kept.  Communication with Angel was quick and easy.  Thank you so much.  Would definitely deal with her again.  
781716,13280041,2014-05-24,14559687,Lindsey,"Booked the Atomic Ranch for a bachelorette party. Angel was super helpful and accommodating! Really fun house, within walking distance from South Congress and South First. The decor really makes it a cool experience also. Highly recommend! "
781716,13467969,2014-05-28,8410154,Lowell,"Our weekend stay at the Atomic Ranch was enjoyable and helped make our first visit to Austin a memorable one! Angel was really responsive even while she was out of town. We had ample clean towels and linens and plenty of hot water during our stay. The Wi-Fi, TV, Stereo, and AC all worked really well. One warning: the walls are thin so there's not a lot of noise privacy between rooms  We had two adults use the bunk beds during our stay and although there weren't any dire consequences I am not sure if I would tempt fate again. The decor had a healthy dose of Austin weird which definitely added to our experience! The location made everything pretty accessible and also allowed us to ditch the car and walk to some restaurants. El Tacorrido had some amazing breakfast tacos and the horchata and espresso was a morning staple. ABGB is right down the street and it is definitely worth a trip. They have some delicious food and excellent house beers on tap as well as live music to go with it. "
781716,13798919,2014-06-04,4416754,Nick,Angel was a pleasure to deal with and her place was very clean. Everything went exactly the way we expected! Cheers!

The house is nicely decorated has a very ""Austin"" feel to it.  It's about 10 minutes from the airport and very close  to bars and delicious restaurants.  It's also not to far from downtown.  Angel was very communicative when I needed assistance.  I would definitely stay at the Atomic Ranch again.   "

Angel left an incredible list of recommendations, with map references, and a clear list of instructions for the house. She was hands off, which suited us perfectly. All in all, a great stay in Austin. "
781716,15990349,2014-07-19,18099499,Patti,"Was in Austin for both business and pleasure. Found the Atomic Ranch ideal for both.  Great location!  Clean, comfortable, and convenient from start to finish.

As always, Angel herself was very communicative and accommodating - I would most definitely use her again in the future!"

Angel is very easy to work with and everything went seamless.  "

Angel was very attentive and accommodating during the booking process. I had a few questions during our stay and she immediately answered them! Angel has a book of recommendations for food and cafes we tried most of the places and they were delish! We plan on staying with Angel for our next visit to Austin in the following months! 

We truly enjoyed our stay.... Thank you Angel!

I would definitely book another stay here if I was headed back to Austin.

Had a great time in big part to having a cozy place to rest when the heat got to us after being out and about. Had a coffee table book that went over all rules and how to check out which was really handy. As well as loads of food and shopping recommendations. The location was PERFECT so close to everything us tourists wanted to see ;). Again, even better than we imagined. Thank you!!! "
781716,18994883,2014-09-04,12456753,Melissa,"We couldn't have asked for a cuter and welcoming location for our 3-day, 3 girl getaway! We all had plenty of space, the car was protected from the sun and (15 minutes) of rain under the carport, and all slept comfortably in our own beds. We all wanted to take all the dinosaurs, the green vinyl couch, the sunburst clock and the velvet peacock home with us! 

Angel was so helpful with pointing us to a nearby car repair shop (we blew a tire on our road trip and had to get a brand new one to take place of our redneck repair outside of Waco!) and a place to get some coffee at the same time. Lattes make for happy gals! Thanks so much for all of the help! "

The Atomic Ranch is a fabulous place to stay with lots of space and really stylish mid-century interiors. Angel provided recommendations for dining etc which were really useful.

The house was clean- everything from the cups to the sheets to the towels to the shower. I stayed here with some of my best friends for my wedding weekend and we found the location absolutely perfect albeit right up against a super busy street. The day of my wedding I needed a later check out time and Angel was incredibly kind in accommodating this request, something I know is not standard. Overall wonderful experience. "

781716,22295558,2014-11-03,20376813,Jason,"Atomic Ranch was a great place to stay!  Conveniently allowed us to get in and out of the area easily.  It had everything we were looking for in a place to stay.  Great wifi, comfy beds and a nice patio to sit and enjoy the fall weather.  Angel was great to work with and had everything ready and was more than accommodating with our booking dates."
781716,22518397,2014-11-09,17264926,Will,"The Ranch suited us perfectly.  A short Taxi ride into 6th Street.  Plenty of good Mexican restaurants within 500 meters.

Will stay there again when I next visit Austin.

781716,22758629,2014-11-14,4893298,Mary,Thanks for hosting our group. Very cool house. Lots of charm. 
781716,22855080,2014-11-16,22133854,Annie,Atomic Ranch is a great home base in Austin! Being within walking distance from S 1st and South Congress was wonderful and Angel is so generous with great local suggestions. 
781716,22946019,2014-11-18,13281665,Dianne,"Angel went well beyond all expectations to accommodate us. 
Very cute place and easy south Austin location."
781716,23080950,2014-11-22,23702289,Jhonphilipp,"Upon entering the neighborhood, it was very charming.  There were cute houses and unique establishments. Angel made us feel at home with clear instructions to navigate through the home.  I loved the house!!! It was super comfortable and cheerful.  I'd totally stay there again!"
781716,23128789,2014-11-23,23742153,Shauna,"Atomic Ranch was great! My girlfriends and I stayed here for a weekend trip and it was the perfect location and setting for our trip. The place is really cool with awesome vintage touches that were very fitting for Austin. Also, Angel was incredibly accommodating and responsive. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a chill place to stay in the heart of Austin. "
781716,23679130,2014-12-08,9510579,Malia,"This house was PERFECT. I threw my 30th birthday party here and had some out of town guests stay for the weekend. The space was exactly what I was looking for. Everyone had a comfortable spot to sleep, the house was beautiful and there were no surprises. "
781716,23808051,2014-12-11,23317652,Brian,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
781716,24997379,2015-01-04,861301,Jennifer,"Excellent place to stay in Austin! Only a quick uber ride to downtown, or an easy 10 min walk to SoCo area! Place was very clean! I can't wait to go back and stay here! Big home with lots of room for a small family, even."
781716,25401042,2015-01-14,2646428,Greg And Hillery,"The house is very cute - adorable decor and we felt very welcome. The kitchen is stocked with most of what you need for cooking, which was great, and there are stores very nearby with anything else you might want. The bunk bed was very squeaky - I was tempted to find a screwdriver and try to tighten the screws! But our kids loved sleeping on it and the main bed was comfy for my husband and myself.  The location is very central and it was easy to get around Austin, even in the notoriously bad traffic.  In all, a sweet house in a good location. "
781716,25493976,2015-01-18,5708437,Jeanette,Wonderful stay in wonderful austin!
781716,25790182,2015-01-26,18421574,Michelle,"Angel was a great host and the Atomic Ranch was an ideal place to chill during our weekend trip to Austin. Very convenient location and close to a bunch of fun restaurants, bars and shops. Angel does a great job of making the place feel like home (and provided a great set of recommendations) with all the fixins. Very clean and quiet."
781716,26059190,2015-02-02,1558359,Zack,Great place that is not too far from the main strips of Austin (South Congress and 6th street). The place slept 6 comfortably. 
781716,26239364,2015-02-08,22868748,Gemma,"Angel was great and very welcoming. She had helpful information and suggestions for the area. The living room space is beautiful and has the character depicted in the pictures.  You are about a ten minute drive from everything, which is great, and there are plenty of tasty eats within a mile radius of where the house is as well. My only critique is that a lot of the  beds were not comfortable- two out of the three of us had trouble sleeping because of the beds (hence the three star rating, otherwise this would be a 4 or 5).  This place is good for an active group that plans on exploring a lot in Austin for a short trip. "
781716,26649617,2015-02-16,13057838,Sarbdeep,Great stay at the Atomic Ranch!
781716,26971536,2015-02-23,6427685,Alissa,Angel was awesome! Her house was super fun and fit all four of us comfortably. She was extremely accommodating of our last minute requests!

781716,27681619,2015-03-09,7951828,Jodi,It was great! The house is so cute and a perfect reflection of the Congress/1st experience. Angel responded very quickly at all times. Location is great as well! We would highly recommend the Atomic Ranch. 
781716,27983315,2015-03-15,7600916,Andrew,"Angel was extremely helpful with the AirBnb. I actually had a chance to chat with her and she's an awesome individual. She gave me the best suggestion for breakfast in a great part of town. Overall, it was a great stay. "
781716,28078316,2015-03-17,26948934,Alexis,"The host and listing were great! Such a cute house. Just a quick cab ride from downtown and the famous 6th street bars. 

Walking distance to other bars and restaurants. 

She was very accomodating and sweet with any request or question we had. "
781716,28696089,2015-03-29,1837036,Nicole,Great!

781716,29233315,2015-04-05,17374080,Melissa,This was my first airbnb experience and definitely not my last. Angel was an excellent host.

I would definitely stay there again.
781716,29565950,2015-04-09,1856570,Angela,"It was so much fun to stay in the Atomic Ranch.  There were so many fun and practical details.

Angela was very responsive and easy to work with."
781716,30044522,2015-04-16,2833883,Geneviève,"The home was just as presented online. The location was perfect for us and the parking was definitely a plus! 

Angel was available and communicative throughout the duration of our (3 day) stay. "
781716,30074089,2015-04-17,15789906,Katie,"Angel's house was delightful, a nicely renovated 60's house that accommodated our party of 6 well. It was perfectly clean, and in a great location- walking distance to AGBG if you need a beer/pizza. Angel was a great hostess, who took initiative and emailed me all the necessary info before our stay. All enjoyed our night at the house. "
781716,30854053,2015-04-28,23726300,Meredith,Everything was just as described and Angel was super easy to work with. She always responded quickly to any messages and the house was immaculate. The only downsides were that the house is on a busy street and the house is hard to find at night. 
781716,31867625,2015-05-11,6447327,Kelsie,"We had a great time at the Atomic Ranch! The house was super cute, with a really nice outdoor area. It was very clean and well-appointed. We were in Austin for Psych Fest, and the house was a quick drive away. It seemed a quick drive from everything.  Getting in and out of the house was a very easy process. Angel allowed us a late checkout, which was helpful. Overall great experience. "
781716,32097859,2015-05-13,12420287,Thomas,Nice house near everything.
781716,32347654,2015-05-17,469624,Marcus,"Angel had great communication before the weekend to let me know all of the details on parking, access, etc. When we arrived, the house was perfect! We had everything we needed to have a great weekend in Austin. Thank you Angel for making our stay in Austin a great experience."
781716,32865550,2015-05-22,20038196,Mandy,The location was prime! Location is one thing alluding is when choosing an Airbnb in a new city and this wS stellar! Angel was great and her clean home had a ton of character and walkable to amazing places like Bouldin Creek cafe and South Lamar Crossfit. Slept like s baby in the WestWorld room and lived all of it. Dinosaurs rule!
781716,33084082,2015-05-25,28534386,Matt,"Great place to stay, close to some great food and only a short ride from downtown. Host was easy to work with, nothing bad at all to report!"
781716,34174697,2015-06-05,22178419,Zach,"Angel was an excellent host!  Great communication, great house, great part of town.  We were in town for work and it was the perfect place to relax between shifts.  Everything was clean and cozy!  Definitely recommend staying here."
781716,34944242,2015-06-14,20202951,Mallory,Great place! Location was perfect for getting to all of Austin's happening spots. Super cozy. Angel was incredibly accessible. Would recommend to others.
781716,35508055,2015-06-19,4609226,Tamara,"Angel's Atomic Ranch home is a quaint, quirky and fun place to stay. Although it was only me, there was plenty of room for several more people and would be a great place to stay for SXSW with friends. The queen sized bed in the master bedroom was comfortable, as was the futon in the living room (perfect for watching the big screen TV, which is set up for Netflix and also has a good list of cable channels.)  The only downside is that the house is right on Oltorf, which can be busy and a little difficult to get out of the driveway but it's really not a big deal.  I recommend Angel's place if you're looking to be close to the action on South Congress and South Lamar and it's  just a few minute drive to downtown."
781716,35989004,2015-06-23,17416455,Robert,Great location and well kept property.  Easy access to a lot of sites and popular places in Austin.  Would definitely recommend to others!
781716,37296453,2015-07-06,11826561,Stephen,Had a great stay. Location is convenient and provides quick access to this magnificent city. The mid-century vibe of the house was fun and comfortable.
781716,38618204,2015-07-17,6110297,Ryan,"This little house is in a great spot, close to all the local culture Austin has to offer. Angel was very flexible and easy to work with, although I never met her. The house and its contents are a bit worn, funky and retro, but not always functional.  The biggest hiccup was the AC which wasn’t working properly. In Texas in July. But overall, my family and I had a nice time there. A nice touch was having a receiver and speakers to plug my iPad in to. The gas stove was nice. The Wifi is quick."
781716,39072639,2015-07-20,10410519,Jj,Great place and walking distance to good restaurants and South Congress. We buoyed staying here. 
781716,41378784,2015-08-07,36293944,Brandi,"It was a very easy experience. Angel is a great communicator, answering my questions in record time. The neighborhood was quiet and there are great places to grab food near by."
781716,41901683,2015-08-09,40695529,Amy,"Angel was quick to respond to any questions. The bungalow was lovely and clean and just like the pictures. It was our first time in Austin and the folder containing tips on where to eat and drink was really helpful and a nice touch. There was only two of us, so had lots of room as it's spacious but this would be great for a small group too."
781716,42575549,2015-08-14,34181343,Franca,The house is just Amazing!the atomic ranch has all the conforts&The lovely Retró Look!wery Clean!!!It's near to all the cool places in town..i would recomend it!Near to a huge supermarket&Just 5 minutes from WholeFoods..;-) Angel is Super Nice she gives Good advices for things worth seeing in town&always makes sure everithing is fine..;-) i already miss my new Austin House!
781716,44726327,2015-08-28,3643967,Amanda,Such a wonderful home in a fantastic location! Angel was extremely easy to communicate with and has made the check in/out process easy as well. Can't wait to stay again! 
781716,47435514,2015-09-18,298268,Kirk,"Great stay in a cool place; felt like it was my own house.  Never got to meet Angel but access was easy and communication was prompt and accurate. The neighborhood is cool adjacent; like, walk 3 blocks and your in it, stay at the Ranch and it's nice and quiet. Rode my bike downtown to work everyday on nearly car free streets. "
781716,47995789,2015-09-22,15718595,Adam,"Neighborhood was great, South 1st ended up being my favorite neighborhood in all of Austin and this house is super close. The whole city is pretty non-walker friendly but the house is close enough to walk to all points on South 1st and South Congress (and has a carport), including bus lines.

House itself was great, pretty much as described so no complaints! Angel was super responsive to any questions that I had. "
781716,48764161,2015-09-28,42722621,Rosemary,I appreciated the information book left for guests
781716,49420101,2015-10-04,26694525,Will,This place was awesome. Would definitely stay at the atomic ranch again. Great location for south congress and ACL. 
781716,50429320,2015-10-12,33739246,Chris,Everything from start to finish was incredible about our experience.  We came down to stay for ACL and the location was perfect for that.  Slept 8 people very well.  Would definitely book again. 
781716,51137385,2015-10-18,563568,Ashleigh,"Great neighborhood, cute house w/ fun decor.

The Atomic Ranch is w/in walking distance of great restaurants and a lively scene.  Angel left us with plenty of great recommendations for what to do and see. 

"
781716,51715031,2015-10-24,41641175,Sarah,The atomic ranch is a wonderful place to stay while visiting Austin. A short cab ride to downtown and a short walk to great places for food. The beds are very comfortable and the house is very spacious. 
2238715,11011593,2014-03-17,1000713,Jason,"I stayed at Jills House to attend a series of shows in Austin with a small group of musicians. Jill was incredibly accommodation, the house was lovely and she made us all feel very much at home.
Great house, location and atmosphere, we will definitely try to stay here next time we are in Austin!  "
2238715,14409275,2014-06-18,16211127,Carolyn,"Jill was very accommodating, we had to contact her a couple of times with questions and she responded in a timely manner.  We loved her home, and had a wonderful experience with the ""oasis"" of her back yard.
We will use airbnb again for travel accommodations.
Carolyn"
2238715,14981030,2014-06-30,16090804,Anh,Jill's home was lovely and clean. Jill was very accommodating and provided everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. We will definitely come back here if we ever need a place in Austin again. Thank you!
2238715,15334013,2014-07-07,16376525,Anthony,"Jill was an excellent hostess. We didn't get to meet up personally, but communication was great throughout the whole trip. She has a beautiful house with so much space and our group was very comfortable. The backyard is amazing and perfect for a bbq. The location is great. A short drive from South Congress and is right across from an HEB. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we highly recommend it to anyone that plans on staying in Austin."
2238715,18877793,2014-09-02,16701536,Kasey,House was great backyard was fantastic
2238715,22302566,2014-11-03,71661,Carrie,"Jill is an excellent host and her house is just as awesome.  Has all the comforts of home, felt very at ease there.  Jill is super friendly and easy to work/communicate with.  I will definitely book her place again!"
2238715,28127181,2015-03-18,564687,Peter,Nice house and Jill was very easy ro communicate with. Perfect!!
2238715,28794513,2015-03-30,3479536,Brian,"We didn't meet Jill ""face-to-face"" but communicated well by phone/text and she was very welcoming and accommodating.  She lives in this house and vacates it when she has Airbnb guests; so it has all her belongings and provisions in it.  Very trusting!  But we appreciated it and she invited us to use anything we wanted.  Not having to go out and buy salt and pepper, odd spices etc, was very useful.  The back yard is great and we used the fire pit.  The Taco joint around the corner serves delicious TexMex breakfast.  The neighborhood is quiet but close enough to Austin.  We ""Ubered"" in to Austin a couple of times, very conveniently."
2238715,33208705,2015-05-25,32288430,Alice,"Jill is a nice person, who inspired by art and daily life. Her house is so pretty and calm and much prettier than the presented pictures. My family had a good experience with her place. Now, she inspired me, and I will  organize my house to make my house more simple, clean and calm. "
804391,3540449,2013-02-14,92705,Stacie,"My stay in Austin was excellent, the apartment is perfectly immaculate and every detail is looked after!  Denise is wonderfully helpful and respectful of privacy.  I had a mix of work and fun and Austin is really worth the visit!  I was impressed with the loving care that went into creating such a comfortable space and it's walking distance to all the funky fun of South Congress!
Thank you Denise!"
804391,3562657,2013-02-17,4723959,Jake,"The location is perfect being right next to South Congress. There are plenty of food trucks, restaurants and shops within walking distance. The place was extremely clean and everything seemed very new. 

Great pressure and space in the shower.
Beds were extremely comfortable, with a great comforter also.

Checking in/out was a breeze and very streamlined. I would definitely stay again."
804391,3779309,2013-03-14,4349284,Lindsay,Denise's home is lovely and in a great location just off of Austin's bustling SoCo neighborhood. She was super responsive with any questions we had throughout the booking process and her home offered amenities better than most hotels. I will definitely stay there again the next time I travel to Austin!
804391,3813797,2013-03-18,3401215,Gary,"Thank you Denise and KK for a wonderful stay and being so helpful while we visited!  We enjoyed our four days immensely during SXSW and the accomodations and location were all that we had hoped for.  Your place was immaculate, cosy, and comfortable, and the neighborhood had lots of wonderful shops and a great vibe. Thank you for your restaurant recommendations (we especially loved the BBQ truck!).  We hope to return to Austin in the future and would love to stay with you again. "
804391,3871135,2013-03-23,3444049,Susan,"Perfect in every way!  Comfy beds, friendly hosts, convenient location. Airy and light-filled, spotlessly clean. "
804391,4110788,2013-04-10,5586712,Diana,"We absolutely LOVED this house and our time in Austin! Denise was very helpful and accommodating and all of her suggestions for meals, drinks, shopping, music and exercising we're spot on. The location was perfect-just blocks from all kinds of great eateries, eclectic shops, incredible food trucks and music venues. We walked, ran or biked almost everywhere.

The beds in the house were super comfy and the place was immaculate! Water pressure in the shower was great, kitchen was really well equipped and the patio was a great place to sit and deliberate which amazing restaurant to visit for the next meal. Loved the neighborhood and all the people too. Honestly can't say enough about how great our visit was, and look forward to staying here again!"
804391,4236558,2013-04-21,1969308,Laurie,"LOVED staying here! Denise was so warm and welcoming, great communication and super easy to rent from. I have a toddler so I found it hard to secure a place from a few other hosts on airbnb.com, despite saying they were ""family friendly"". The location couldn't be better. Just a block off SoCo but on a quiet street. The place was super clean, bright and well stocked. Felt like staying in a cool, modern tree house. Great memory foam beds and great shower too. Nice little courtyard to enjoy in the evening with friends. This place made our week long stay extra special. The sweet housekeeper came by and refreshed our towels mid-stay. Highly recommend! "
804391,4270194,2013-04-23,5521258,Ted,"Excellent value, great home, all the amenities, attentive hosts"
804391,4450294,2013-05-06,5609994,Kate,"We loved our stay in Denise's place! The space was super clean, and plenty spacious for four adults. The queen bed was so comfortable, we checked out the brand of mattress. Everything was in good working order, including plenty of hot water from the shower. We would definitely stay here again. Oh, and the location couldn't be beat--a black from South Congress!"
804391,4552614,2013-05-12,6013476,Kim,"Denise's apartment was more than we had hoped for: immaculate, spacious, and perfectly located. We loved having a whole apartment to ourselves with a full kitchen, living room, 2 bathrooms and a beautiful patio. All this for less than most hotels. Denise was incredibly helpful and provided us with all the recommendations we asked for. Most of what we needed was within walking distance but we also rented bikes just a few blocks away. If I'm ever back in Austin I would love to stay at Denise's apartment again. "
804391,4813733,2013-05-27,395596,Todd,"Denise and KK have the best possible place to crash for any trip to Austin, especially if you want to be centrally located to downtown and SOCO areas. The apartment was very clean, modern and had all the comforts of home. Definitely recommended."
804391,4963934,2013-06-04,1442621,Bill,"Great apartment in a perfect location in Austin! 
Everything was spotless, comfortable, and worked perfectly. Icy cold AirCon was so appreciated on 90+degree Austin days. No complaints, only compliments, compliments, compliments!

"
804391,5086344,2013-06-11,171955,Jenny,"We had a wonderful stay in Denise's apt, it was immaculate, new, and even kid-friendly for our 2 year old. It felt like we were on vacation in our own home. The location is great; the apt is across the street from a school so we could take our son over to run around, and we were in walking distance to great shops and restaurants just around the corner. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone visiting Austin to stay here!!!"
804391,5198262,2013-06-17,6835978,Tami,"Perfect place for the perfect birthday getaway for myself and 2 daughters. We walked, had wonderful local food, and made ourselves at home in Denise's comfy apartment. The beds were wonderf & we had everything we neeed plus -Denise has thought of everything!"
804391,5431881,2013-06-30,6187603,Julia,"We all said ""ooohh"" and ""ahhh"" as soon as we walked in the front door of this fresh and inviting apartment - knowing it was JUST what we wanted for our family vacation!  Everything was perfect - plenty of dishes & cookware & towels . . . and even some amenities like fresh soap, TP, lotion, shampoo & conditioner.  Super comfortable beds & sheets . . . we really really enjoyed each day in our vacation home!  Thanks, Denise!!"
804391,5614085,2013-07-08,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"Very nice and modern 2 bedroom unit. Clean and comfortable. We only had one issue which was the electronic lock wasn't locking, but it was resolved very quickly indeed, and we went on to have a fantastic and hassle-free stay over three nights.

It's superbly located to South Congress shops, food and drinks. 10 minutes walk (downhill) to Home Slice Pizza :) Roughly a 30 min walk back to the unit from downtown dinner and drinking. 

Hosts were very easy to communicate with. Will book again in the future."
804391,6094140,2013-07-29,4135221,Nathalie,"Its true- location, location, location. You will not find a better location in Austin. It is a two minute walk from everywhere that you may want to go, in terms of the best coffee shops, great antique stores, food trucks, delicious Mexican restaurants, blues bars- even the San Jose Hotel for a Margarita early evening. I can't recommend this apartment highly enough- it feels brand new, as if you are the first people to stay in the apartment, it has everything that you need, including your own desk and computer which was very helpful, great stereo, speakers, comfortable beds. The apartment has no clutter, no personal items, it is your home away from home whilst visiting Austin. Quite simply if you stay in this apartment, you will not want for anything except for maybe wishing that you had stayed longer. You will not be disappointed. Thanks Denise for a great stay- we will be sure to come back next time we are in Austin. "
804391,6431881,2013-08-12,7548001,Brittany,This is the perfect location if you're wanting to stay in the heart of South Congress. My family and I enjoyed this property to the fullest. Denise was very helpful and easy to get ahold of. Hopefully we will be back very soon! 
804391,6920215,2013-08-30,6338855,Brent,"Beautiful and perfect place to stay in SOCO!  Denise is awesome and very hospitable.  She even left cookies for me upon my arrival!
Will absolutely stay again when I'm in Austin."
804391,7191586,2013-09-10,6578956,Ellen,"This is a lovely place in an amazing location in Austin.  It's beautifully furnished and even the smallest details have been thought about in equipping it for guests.  The beds are very comfortable and the bathroom and shower are excellent.  

Although Austin is a car-oriented city, it's an easy walk or bus journey to downtown and there are great shops and restaurants within a five minute walk. 

Denise was easy to communicate with and very helpful.  "
804391,7317071,2013-09-15,8676991,Tanya,"Denise was amazing! She goes above and beyond. She even did my son and baby's laundry :) 

I would highly recommend her beautiful, extremely clean apartment. She makes you feel like you are at home and honestly thought of everything. Her kitchen utensils are top notch too and she doesn't skimp on any detail.

Loved our stay and we will definitely be a guest at Denise again. Great location too - around the corner from restaurants and shops. All I can say is don't hesitate - book it!!!!

Apartment even has an apple computer and an iPad - she really makes it feel like an extension of your home.

Loved our stay "
804391,7393610,2013-09-18,2258099,Christine,"One word... AMAZING!!  I would have left 6 stars if possible.  This home was clean, comfortable and just overall super cute!  Denise also has this home incredibly well stocked and has thought of everything you may need (including an iPad!!) She was incredibly accomodating and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy (and we were thrilled)!! And the location is absolutely to die for!  I will be trying to stay here on every trip I take to Austin in the future.  Thank you, Denise!!!!!"
804391,7703917,2013-09-30,8373413,Narie,"The title doesn't lie! The location is to die for and the perfect place for me! My friends and family had nothing but compliments to give to the house! Location was right in the middle of everything that I wanted to do! Great food, antique shopping and taking in the local Austin life!

The beds were awesome for my bad back and I am definitely going to book there again if I go back to Austin!

Denise was awesome at getting back to me and helping me figure everything out!"
804391,7824804,2013-10-05,6433741,Peter,"We were so lucky to find Denise and KK's place. They were brilliant hosts, warm, attentive and interesting and their guesthouse is 5 star luxury. Our family of 4 were so impressed by the standard and comfort of the house and its proximity to the funkiest street in Austin, literally a 10 minute walk to the eclectic stores, bars and restaurants of Congress Ave. Thanks so much Denise, KK and Olive the wonder dog,
Pete, Cath and the boys"
804391,7970422,2013-10-10,797680,Emily,"This apartment was a great find! Denise was very responsive and attentive, and the apartment is exactly as pictured - modern, comfortable, and extremely clean. The thoughtful details (such as food recommendations and plenty of fluffy towels) made it a great stay. Highly recommended!"
804391,8007656,2013-10-12,3345700,Allison,Loved staying in Denise's beautifully detailed and comfortable home. We were so close to fun vintage shops and great restaurants too. We would definitely visit again!
804391,8248794,2013-10-22,1210218,Xiaoyu,"What a great location! We loved being able to walk to places on South Congress, but staying juuust far enough away to be in a quiet neighborhood. Denise's place was clean and super comfortable. It has everything you'll need! Check in/out was a breeze and the place was very easily accessible. Highly recommend! "
804391,8653678,2013-11-11,8639910,Joe,"The four of us had a wonderful weekend in Austin, and Denise's apartment was a big part of it.  Denise was a very gracious and helpful hostess.  Her apartment was not only clean and neat, but very nicely decorated and comfortable.  The location was ideal for us, since we spent considerable time at the restaurants and clubs along the SoCo strip.  Denise's apartment was exactly as advertised.  We would stay there again, and we highly recommend it to others."
804391,8991419,2013-12-01,4060710,Teena,"We can't say enough wonderful things about Denise and her beautiful apartment.  Any and everything that you might want or need was available.  The apartment is spotlessly clean, amazingly comfortable and what a location.  The bed is sooo comfortable!!
We highly recommend staying with Denise, all of your needs will be met with a smile!"
804391,9172722,2013-12-10,4356192,Aaron,Denise was a great host and her place was awesome. The location is perfect and the house we really well decorated and hospitable. I would definitely stay there again next time I'm in Austin. 
804391,9344209,2013-12-23,9458164,Joanna,"Fantastic apartment!  Wow!  If you are looking for a home from home whilst visiting Austin, do not look further than this, if it suits your requirements.  This apartment had everything that you would ever need away from home.  Denise has thought of everything and  then some.  Very clean and super modern.  

If i am visiting Austin again i will not hesitate.   

"
804391,9424361,2013-12-28,2567247,Melanie,"We had a fantastic stay here.  The house is clean, updated and well stocked for a great vacation, not to mention an amazing location. We were very impressed! Thanks Denise!"
804391,9582189,2014-01-03,426533,Hannah,"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Denise's home. My best friend, her boyfriend, my boyfriend and I decided to visit Austin for New Years and instead of getting hotel rooms, we opted for an Airbnb. This place was perfect and so reasonably priced. The apartment had very new appliances, was impeccably clean when we arrived, and had such comfortable furniture (beds, couches, etc) that it really felt like home away from home. The best part was having a kitchen fully stocked with silverware, plates, pots/pans, coffeemaker, etc so instead of eating out every night, we were able to have leisurely breakfasts and dinners when we wanted. 

Thanks, Denise, for providing such a lovely setting for a memorable New Years. I will definitely recommend your place to everyone I know who will be visiting Austin -- it's perfect!"
804391,9726347,2014-01-06,3672880,Ricky,"Beautiful space in very prime Austin location; clean, very comfortable beds; had a fantastic stay and would rent the spot without hesitation should i again find myself in Austin. Plus Denise is cool; that's always a plus "
804391,9830316,2014-01-13,10265115,Hubert,Great location a great space. All the amenities you could ever want; VERY comfortable bed and mattress; cozy sheets; and a great experience and host (we were greeted by a great bottle of wine on our first night). Would recommend to friends and will be back when coming through Austin. 
804391,9928708,2014-01-20,4482538,Julia,"We really enjoyed our stay at Denise's! She's communicative, willing to help, and easy to reach. Top notch hospitality and the photos are very representative of the actual space. Location was great as well!"
804391,10128884,2014-02-02,5671381,Teneha,"Great location, wonderful hosts, great house!! All you could need and more, highly recommended!! We loved Austin and could not have stayed in a better place. Thanks heaps to Denise and Kumar!!"
804391,10238203,2014-02-08,2511308,Victoria-Ninette,"What a perfect spot! It was immaculately clean, the beds were extremely comfortable and location was right on point. Denise was  super helpful and nice. We were stoked to use a sound system, TV & computer! We will try to book this spot next time we come for sure! Highly recommended ! "
804391,10416240,2014-02-18,3289160,Chris & Tim,"The unit itself is very well maintained and felt safe and secure up on the second floor.  Nice touches included a computer, iPad, local area guides, a full kitchen, and bathroom with things you may have forgotten to bring.  I have to admit I dipped into the candy jar once or twice, too.

Denise was very responsive to questions and made the stay very easy. We were grateful for the extra time to check out (only available if no one checking in that day).

The location was great for us to be able to spend time with friends who lived nearby.  Austin is very spread out, and walking isn't much of an option in the city, so you're going to have to drive to most places you want to go.  As a result, there are a lot of cars on the road and traffic is gnarly.  South Congress Ave has lots of bars if that's your thing, and South 1st St has some places to walk to too if you like ice cream (Dolce Neve) or donuts (Gourdough's).  

We didn't get a chance to, but wanted to use the new bike sharing system (B-Cycle, (website hidden)).   The closest bike pod is about four blocks north, with a total of eight bikes available.  Most of the pods are north of the river in the downtown area, so if you want to bike to downtown, you can.  South Congress Ave is supposedly a bike route, but the road is wide, cars travel fast and bike lanes are faded, so be careful biking.  But at $8 for 24-hours of use (or $25 for a 7-day pass), it's a cheap way to get around."
804391,10688660,2014-03-03,11935163,Carly,The condo was perfect for our girls weekend and is in a great location in the SoCo area. It's modern and very clean. Denise was great and super responsive to our questions and provided great recommendations for the area. I would definitely stay here again!
804391,10798207,2014-03-08,11974925,Andrea,"Great property! Comfortable and beautifully finished, and walkable from great shopping and restaurants on South Congress. This was a perfect place to stay!"
804391,11043120,2014-03-18,732836,Samantha,"Perfect apartment in a perfect location from which to explore Austin. The apartment is amazingly clean and well stocked with everything you could ever need. Denise was so helpful including doing a load of washing for us! We couldn't have asked for better accommodation.
The apartment is right around the corner from all the shops and restaurants on South Congress as well as multiple buses into downtown. 
Highly recommend! "
804391,11130160,2014-03-22,4364261,Brigitte,"Everything was totally impeccable , two nice bedrooms , a 'high tech' living room ( complete with computer, i pad...)and a fully equipped kitchen, which tempted us to do some cooking, even though all the nice bars and restaurants of SOCO were literally just around the corner...Austin itself is definitely worth while a visit, we enjoyed it so much that we're thinking about coming back for more!"
804391,11241692,2014-03-26,9268125,Danielle,"This was a weekend I will never forget!  The location was amazing, we walked to mostly everything and even used the bus a couple of times which was very easy, convenient, and cheap!  The house was spotless and everything seemed brand new.  The beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in!  Denise was so helpful and easy to reach if we ever needed anything - the guidebook she provided for us included such great suggestions that really made our trip complete.  "
804391,11358822,2014-03-31,5146705,Abbey,"Our stay at Denise's place was wonderful! She is so thoughtful- I asked her about baking pans and she bought a muffin tin for us to use. The apartment was filled with sweet touches like that- soft towels, beautiful linens, and great light. If you're looking for a cozy place close to everything good in Austin, you should definitely stay here. It was a dream!"
804391,11578306,2014-04-08,9708355,Julie,"Fantastic! What more can we say. We were visiting from the UK and as we know Austin quite well we knew that this would be an ideal base for us. Not only is the location fantastic - just off South Congress and close to our favourite cafes, bars and restaurants - but the house was amazing too. A real home from home with loads of extra touches to make our stay just perfect. The equipment is top notch with use of iPad, Apple computer, Sonos sound system and TVs. The furnishings and décor are great and the whole place is clean and well organised. Denise and Kumar are very friendly and very helpful. Highly Recommended!"
804391,11740725,2014-04-14,6532522,Betsy,"We have stayed in four wonderful property rentals over the past month and this one in Austin was the most high-tech, spotless, and well-stocked of them all! It is in a perfect location on a quiet street, just off the bustling South Congress Street.  The kitchen has everything you could need (but who wants to cook when in Austin?!), the bathroom has all the supplies you might have forgotten at home, the beds are comfortable, and it is a light and airy home.  Perfect for the four of us -- we only wish we could have stayed longer!  Denise and Kumar are very nice people to deal with and most helpful in any situation. We HIGHLY recommend a stay here!"
804391,11981994,2014-04-21,8007048,Flemming,"Forrygende god lejlighed på East Mary i SoCo, tip-top moderne, velindrettet og tæt på det meste du kommer til Austin for at opleve. Alt fungerede og værtsparret opmærksomme på dig som gæst.

Tremendous apartment/house at East Mary in SoCo, tip-top modern, well-equipped and close to what you get to Austin to experience. Everything worked and the hosts pay attention to you as a guest."
804391,12266674,2014-04-28,4060710,Teena,"Our stay in Austin was perfect as always!! Denise is the best hostess and her beautiful apartment is always fresh, clean and comfy!!!  We are looking forward to our next stay with Denise."
804391,12618380,2014-05-06,11965054,Andy,This was the perfect place for our Austin visit. Denise and Kumar were very kind and excellent hosts. The pictures are spot-on as far as the condition and spotless modern decor. Plenty of natural light pours in the windows. First on my list for places to stay in Austin. Thanks so much!
804391,12927828,2014-05-14,5882490,Amy,"Denise's apartment is a perfect airbnb offering.  I have stayed in three airbnbs in the past ten days and this was by far the best.  It is spin and span clean.  There is nothing extraneous in the apartment.  The kitchen is stocked, the beds are the MOST COMFORTABLE I have ever slept in.  I want the name of the mattress and sheets to order them, by far my best sleep in memory.  The shower had strong pressure, was hot, and again had all the basics, which every place doesn't have.  Finally, it is one block from upper SoCo, I walked everywhere, stayed up late laughing at the Magnolia Cafe.  I can't say enough good things about the place.  I had the pleasure of meeting Denise as well, she was delightful, we would be friends if I lived in Austin.  Do your self a favor and rent this place, stay longer than you expect, and don't miss the check out instructions."
804391,13205114,2014-05-22,4358393,Danielle,"Denise's place was fantastic! Everything that we needed plus more. Great location right off the trendy Soco area. Spacious enough for our four person family and had everything we needed as if we were in our own home. Beds were extremely comfortable and decked our with the most luscious sheets. I am now going to get myself some the same. All amenities you need are provided soaps, shampoo etc, even those you may have forgotten. Denise was most helpful if we needed anything. We loved Austin and will definitely be coming back to this great little apartment. "
804391,13534393,2014-05-30,13128877,Rick,"I recently stayed at the condo owned by Denise and Kumar in Austin.  It was beautiful, I could not have asked for a nicer or more comfortable place to stay while I visited my son in Austin.  The place was quiet and had everything I could imagine to enhance my visit.  I hated to leave and truly look forward to staying there again sometime in the future.

804391,13851790,2014-06-06,1953995,Brianna,"We had a wonderful stay at this amazing apartment.  The location is absolutely brilliant, a block away from the nightlife on South Congress but far enough to be nice and quiet.  The beds are so so comfy and it has everything you need, including tea and a kettle for my English husband!  Great experience, couldn't recommend more highly."
804391,14016268,2014-06-10,10374235,Sarah,"Everything about our stay was comfortable and convenient. The house was as beautiful and clean as it looks in the photos.

804391,14289318,2014-06-16,15391532,Diane,"We just returned from a stay in this lovely, well-appointed home. The photos are an accurate reflection of the interior -- very clean, with new furnishings and appliances. Denise's description of the neighborhood is right-on. We rented a car but were able to get many places on foot.  It served as a perfect home base for us as we explored Austin.  "
804391,14680952,2014-06-24,3781918,Kate,"Denise was great. She made sure to let us know all the details before we arrived and then checked in with us when we finally did arrive. The house was clean and was exactly what it looked like in the pictures. There were plenty of towels and amenities which made our stay wonderful. It is a great location!

"
804391,14925442,2014-06-29,10258145,James,"Great place and ideal location! Honestly had a fantastic time here, the apartment was perfect to relax in and the location at the top of South Congress could not be better. So many great spots to eat, drink and explore on your doorstep. 

Denise was a great host making sure we had a wonderful time and always keeping in touch. 

Honestly stay here if you can, best spot in Austin!"
804391,15315638,2014-07-07,14948897,Anna,"We had a fantastic stay in Austin. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. Everything was of such high quality- the furniture, entertainment (including an iPad!), the linens and all of the shampoos, washing up detergent etc generously available for use if needed. It was brilliantly spacious for 4 of us and we were so grateful for the air conditioning. Location was brilliant with many bars and restaurants within walking distance and a short drive to city center and many other things to do. Luxurious, very clean, beautifully decorated, so easy to feel comfortable and safe. "

804391,16116176,2014-07-22,17128844,Alison,"We felt right at home from the moment we walked in! I could go on and on with all of the good things I have to say about our stay. Here are the highlights: ease of communication with the owners, top notch amenities (in both the bathroom and kitchen), the location (2 minute walk from the popular South Collins St restaurants and shopping), the sound system, the DVR, the comfort of the beds and pillows, quality of the towels, and the cleanliness (it's spotless!). Thank you so much for opening your home to us. I look forward to coming back!"
804391,16512053,2014-07-28,9071235,Alex,This place was awesome. Exactly how it looked in the pictures. Very cosy and extremely close to the city. No complains whatsoever. 
804391,16627226,2014-07-30,4219690,Brooke,"We really enjoyed staying at Denise's apartment. It was in a great, walkable location in SoCo and was beautifully appointed. Use of iPad was a great perk. I did not meet Denise but she was quick to respond to any inquiries. Would love to stay there for a longer period of time. Less than 2 days was not enough!"
804391,16944857,2014-08-04,194486,Jen & Jeremy,Denise was gracious and responsive. House was immaculate. Loved the candy jar. Style and location were just perfect. Hope to stay here on all my Austin trips.

Highly recommend it!!
"
804391,18653906,2014-08-30,2396582,Brittany And Tim,"We loved staying at Denise and KK's place in Austin. It was all the pictures promised, and the location was everything we knew it would be. We walked to all the best coffee shops, cafes and shopping without worrying about parking, and were never far away from hotspots like Barton Springs/Zilker Park. The house was well-equipped with everything you needed, the hosts were very friendly, and we would not hesitate to stay there again or recommend this place to friends. "
804391,19023504,2014-09-05,2561123,Matthew,"Absolute gem of an apartment. Had an incredibly comfortable stay.
The place is immaculate and very home like. The beds are soft and comfortable and the shower is a dream.

Could not recommend more highly and wish we could have stayed longer"
804391,19207184,2014-09-08,18840891,Emily,"The apartment was nicely styled in a simple, contemporary way.  Kitchen and baths were fully stocked down to little details (hairspray, wine openers, etc.) We enjoyed the open layout and efficiency of the apartment.  The beds were very comfortable - I'm considering getting a Mlily mattress for myself in the near future. For entertainment, we were within walking distance from several shops, restaurants and bars on south congress. However, we got the biggest kick out of our H-E-B grocery store the experience.  Overall, we had an enjoyable stay and would consider staying here again next time we are in Austin. We highly recommend this apartment!"

Although I never met Denise, she was very helpful during the booking process and she was attentive and welcoming in all her communiques during our stay. I would absolutely return. "

804391,20943841,2014-10-08,3710090,Roy,"This place was exactly what my friends and I needed for our visit to Austin.  It was clean, comfortable, accommodating, and in a great location on SoCo. It was our home away from home and would love to use it again on our next Austin visit.  

Thanks Denise!"

804391,22012129,2014-10-28,16469454,William,"This was our first Airbnb stay, and we had a great time. Everything was comfortable and clean, the location was fairly convenient to places we needed to get, and Denise was communicative and helpful, both ahead of time and during the stay. We would absolutely consider staying here again next time we have occasion to visit Austin.

The house was well curated, and while we didn't make much use of the computer, iPad, TV, Sonos, etc., it was great having them available. There were some great magazines around, many of them food-related, and Denise provided some useful local dining recommendations. The kitchen was adequately stocked and functional, and sleeping arrangements worked out well for us and our 13 month old."
804391,22352635,2014-11-04,11199111,Guy,"We totally enjoyed our time at Denise's apartment and can recommend a stay at her wonderfully situated and well furnished place. Pre check in was straight forward and Denise was on hand to answer any questions with prompt responses. We found the apartment with ease and were pleasantly surprised  by its super location. The rooms were more than spacious for our needs and the bed was super comfortable. The living area was peaceful and kitchen well equipped. We had no gripes at all and will definitely return when next in Austin.

much at home in the space and loved relaxing after driving around. 
It was not a big deal keeping things clean and organized. I felt 
like the owner respected our privacy but was very clearly 
available for any questions. 
We give it a glowing recommendation."

804391,23866030,2014-12-13,12691415,Matthew,"In short, this is AirBnB perfection. The flat was spotless, extremely high spec and massively comfortable. We absolutely loved staying here.

Also, it's in a terrific location - away from Downtown in the much cooler SoCo district.

Our host went the extra mile to accommodate us with a huge degree of flexibility around check in and check out which we really appreciated.

Denise has everything you could want in this apartment--beds are super comfy, modern and bright rooms with super kitchen/bar area. It is very new and very clean and comfortable. Thank you, Denise. We will stay again if you have availability!

804391,24701050,2015-01-02,10747703,Pia,"Our stay in Austin was made all the finer by staying in SOCO at Denise & Kumars loving home. It is just as the photos show. Immaculately clean, comfortable beds and close to all bars and restaurants in the area. If we return to Austin, we'll be sure to try our luck to stay in this great space again. Thanks Denise!"
804391,25542903,2015-01-19,24015442,Ryan,The place exceeded my expectations. Brand new furnishings and amazing location. The hosts also made it easy to get in and check out. Would absolutely book this again for my next trip to Austin.....

804391,26473539,2015-02-13,708821,Graeme,"Denise's house was perfect - clean, cozy, modern and walking distance to so much great stuff along South Congress. Hope to come back soon! "
804391,26905203,2015-02-22,3345116,Carolyn,"Denise is a great host. She made us feel welcome by leaving good recommendations for local food, music etc. The apartment has all the essentials, such as cookware, utensils, soaps, shampoos etc. The beds are so comfortable! The apartment is exactly as advertised. And the location cannot be beat. Steps away from great stretch of South Congress St. It was convenient to have a designated parking spot, but it is a very walkable neighborhood. Great stay overall!"
804391,27226392,2015-02-28,27852535,Jonathan,The host handled things very professionally and made us feel very welcome. The house and location were as advertised. Excellent experience. 
804391,27498291,2015-03-06,6072491,Kelly Rae,"We stayed in this beautiful home for 1 week.  It's exactly as pictured and Denise is welcoming and is very responsive/communicative.  The neighborhood is Soco so it's a great location to lots of things like Jo's coffee shop, Monkey See Monkey Do (toy shop), Big Top (candy shop) and one of our favourite restaurants-South Congress Cafe.  The entire home was incredibly comfortable and well stocked in condiments and utensils like scissors, bottle opener, cooking utensils, etc.  We wouldn't hesitate to stay in the Airbnb again."
804391,27592124,2015-03-08,27321133,Marc,Our host was very responsive and helpful. I really enjoyed the place very much. It was very clean very cute and it had good bedding which can make a big difference. everything was great
804391,27741900,2015-03-10,6390787,Aimee,"Denise's house is very clean and comfortable. Coffee maker, light switches, heat thermometer, all are simple to operate. The house is also neat and pretty--a perfect Ikea model home, which is good. The house is real walking distance to Congress Street venues. It is also walking distance to a grocery store. The neighbors are friendly and the neighborhood is nice. Denise was welcoming and easy to reach. We would not hesitate to return. Thank you Denise."
804391,28115643,2015-03-18,13678781,Eric,"Great place, great location, and Denise checked in with me several times to make sure all was going well.   Highly recommended!"
804391,28188422,2015-03-19,12880605,Ricky,Denise was the best host ever!! Location Location Location! This place is right off south congress and right in the middle of all the good food trucks. Prefect stay for SXSW! 
804391,28295760,2015-03-22,7699492,Stephanie,"This house was PERFECT! A really great location right in the heart of SoCo. We had a car but mostly walked, biked, ubered, or pedi-cabbed to get where we wanted to go. The house felt very spacious and the open kitchen - living room was great for for our small group for leisurely mornings and hanging out. It was wonderful having a fully equipped kitchen (and we ordered Instacart grocery delivery for right when we got there so it was also fully STOCKED! I highly recommend this!). Denise was very communicative and a very gracious host! I highly recommend for your stay in Austin!"
804391,28530045,2015-03-25,8448125,Andi,"Great home to come back to after a day exploring Austin.  Very clean, new, modern and equipped with everything you could need. Easy access to buses on South Congress or a 15 minute walk into town, and only a 5 minute walk to rent a bicycle (best way to see Austin in my opinion!!) Also close to lots of great restaurants, food trucks and quirky stores on SoCo. Guero's taco bar fantastic!
Denise was very attentive and easily contactable if needed. Would highly recommend staying here while in Austin."
804391,28894552,2015-03-31,28736093,Lyndsey,Denise's house was wonderful - all the comforts of home in a perfect location.  Walking distance to so many great South Congress locations.  I would return here in a heartbeat.  Denise was accommodating and responsive.  Terrific experience all around.  Thanks!  
804391,29184339,2015-04-05,11528377,Halle,"This home was in a perfect location to walk around the south congress area. It was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Denise was responsive and helpful. I  think it would have been nice if there had been a few welcoming bottles of water for us after out long travel day but other than that a great experience. "
804391,29615020,2015-04-10,7162873,Natalie,"This is a little oasis in Austin and while not on the middle of the action (which we didn't want) it is totally accessible to everything. 

The hosts crafted a space that is clean, beautiful and welcoming. I am choosy about where I stay and I highly highly recommend this space. Denise is a wonderful host and communicated every step of the way.

When you look out your windows you see lovely trees blowing in the wind and hear birds chirping."
804391,31032439,2015-05-01,26591931,Reeves,"Unusually well thought out in design! Complete kitchen. Very nice bath with large, modern shower. Much better experience than hotel rooms. Stayed with our 2 grown daughters and worked out really well. The location was even better then we realized because we could walk to all the shops, bars, restaurants on S. Congress. Immaculately  cleaned. No backyard but we didn't go to Austin to do our own barbecue. Off street parking so no problem with a car which we did have.  Very well run business! Highly recommend because it deserves the praise."
804391,31298457,2015-05-04,23185266,Courtney,We would highly recommend Denise's place. It was impeccably clean and we felt very much at home. Thank you!
804391,31872190,2015-05-11,971146,Loren,first off what an amAzing and comfortable place. All the comforts of home. Denise was totally available though our whole trip. I highly recommend staying here for your next trip to Austin in style. 
804391,32133787,2015-05-14,19974888,Diana,Denise communicated with me before our arrival and made us feel welcomed. She even checked in to see if we made it in safely. We really enjoyed her home. The neighborhood is quiet. The house had everything that we needed and we really liked how clean and organized everything was. We felt comfortable and relaxed. My husband is so thankful that we stayed in Denise's rental instead of a hotel since I came to Austin for some work meetings and stayed a few days extra for a little family vacation. The location is phenomenal! Loved SoCo and the proximity to the cute restaurants and shops. Driving to downtown took about 10 mins or less. Felt like we got to really see Austin as a local than a tourist. Thanks for everything Denise!
804391,32468114,2015-05-18,3136899,Neeley,"Perfect location for access to the best of SoCo!  The place was bright, clean & we would definitely stay again. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip & accommodations.  Denise was top notch as a host, with timely & reliable communication. Thanks again!

804391,33444995,2015-05-28,31220127,Hannah,"This was such an awesome home! The listing description was 100% accurate and we were so pleased when we walked in the door. The house is so clean, comfortable and the interior design is right up my alley. They provided everything you'll need from coffee to start your day to all of the cook ware you'd need if you want to cook, basic condiments, makeup wipes, depdorant, shampoo, body wash, conditioner, q-tips, a hair dryer, the list seriously goes on and on. My favorite part was the fully stocked candy jar in the kitchen :) The location is amazing, it's a 1 minute walk to S Congress where you find the best shopping and restaurants. We really enjoyed walking across S congress to 1st Street, which was only about a 15 min walk, where you find a few food truck parks with so many delicious food trucks to choose from. Also, Elizabeth Street Cafe is about a 15 min walk and it was probably my favorite restaurant that we visited. Bottom line, location is incredible, house is clean and stocked with any and everything you need, you will not be disappointed :) We were so pleased and if we're ever back in Austin I'd love to stay here again. "
804391,33911452,2015-06-02,13319379,Angeline,"Our stay at Denise's place was perfect! The apartment was amazing, the location was fantastic and Denise could not have been a better host. This is what every Air BnB should be like - beautiful, well appointed, extremely clean, well equipped, incredibly comfortable, safe and central. It was the perfect set up for 4 adults, and it was such a welcome respite at the end of each long day. We loved the place from the moment we stepped in and literally commented everyday how happy we were with the apartment and that we would absolutely return here whenever we visited Austin. The apartment was so well kept and everything seemed new. The comfortable beds were one of the highlights, as well as the clean, well stocked bathroom with great water pressure to boot. We didn't get a chance to fully utilize the kitchen but it modern and has everything needed for cooking. Another big plus point is the location - it is a super short walking distance to South Congress and 1st St. Best of all, Denise was incredibly gracious and accommodating with our check in and check out requests, and answered any questions we had from recommending coffee spots in the neighborhood to updating us on state of the city after the flooding (we visited the week after the storm). The apartment really did play a part in making our experience in Austin so memorable. All 4 of us were extremely happy campers and would without a doubt recommend this place to everyone. "

804391,38312600,2015-07-14,7453426,Ben,"We had an amazing stat at Denise's place. It was perfect- the location, communication, description/pictures and all the amenities Denise had in place were wonderful. She and her husband were extremely accommodating and helpful with any requests we had (including flexible check-out). I have used AirBNB a huge amount and this was my favourite place! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend anyone coming to Austin to stay here. "
804391,38913286,2015-07-19,7939337,Nilay,"Denise's place is absolutely amazing! Super awesome stereo system, great modern finishes, and large place! Also, the neighborhood is great. Lots of restaurants, shops near by, including a great juice place that I went to a lot called Soup Peddler. Also, Denise was always responsive by phone and email whenever questions arose. She went out of her way to make our stay incredible!! I highly recommend her place to anyone looking to have a great time in Austin!"

804391,40606140,2015-08-01,19691948,Nhu,"The apartment was beautifully decorated! There was a binder full of instructions as well as directions for nearby attractions/food options.  Very clean and great A/C for the Texas heat.  Private parking, very nice bathrooms with amenities, and comfortable beds.  

Great location - only a short 3-4 block walk from the main boutiques on South Congress and yummy foods!"
804391,42381053,2015-08-13,15024975,Bobby,"If you're looking for a home away from home, that is top notch location, look no further! It's a beautiful cozy home with everything you need. My friend was sick right before our flight, so he spent a lot of time at the house, and loved it. I can not stress how amazing this location is either. Best pizza Home Slice, best burger Hopdoddys, even unusual amazing food like Torchy's Taco's, and Gourdough's, and finally the best cinema, the Alamo draft house. Why mention all these places? You're within a mile and a half or less of all of them. And there's dirty 6th and Rainey St. Again so close. Uber never cost me more than $7. But average $4-$5. Amazing. If Denise ever sells, I would buy this house! I loved it."
804391,44085965,2015-08-23,29566638,Sebastian,"Amazing apartment and even better location, next time I'm in Austin I hope to stay there again! Denise was super helpful in making it happen on very short notice. Incredible value, thank you!"

The apartment was equipped with everything we needed and was in a convenient location to South Congress shops and restaurants. It was the first Airbnb experience of our travel companions and they weren't disappointed. I would highly recommend this listing to others. 
804391,46865394,2015-09-14,20571397,Annaliese,"We rented this fabulous apartment for a 40th birthday girls' weekend. We loved it so much we each wrote a review:

We so enjoyed staying on Mary Street! Great location and clean, well-maintained property. The binder of Austin highlights was a very nice, thoughtful touch and we used it! Would definitely stay here again! - Missy

We loved our accommodations! The apartment was clean, cute and updated. It was a cozy place to rest in between our outings. The hosts were sweet and gave helpful advice on where to eat and what to do around Austin as well. They gave a lot of attention to detail on the items stocked in the apartment. I highly recommend this adorable, convenient  little place to anyone visiting the area! - Erika

This was a perfect location for our girls getaway! The king bed splits into two twins, which Denise took care of for us before arrival. The apartment is nicely updated and very clean. It is right off of South Congress and a great launching point for exploring Austin."
804391,48502521,2015-09-27,18198355,Micah,"This was my second time staying in Denise's gorgeously appointed apartment, and it will not be my last.  Not only is the apartment well designed and functional, but the location could not be better.  Denise is a great communicator and is always quick to respond.  Truly a gem in a city full of options."
804391,49094255,2015-10-01,28532202,Lisa,"Perfect location in Soco near bars, restaurants and live music venues. No too far from downtown. The place was beatiful, clean and exactly as pictured. Denise was a fantastic host providing a great folder of tips and all amenities as described. And the bed was sooo comfy. Highly recommend this for friends, couples or a small family"
804391,51662021,2015-10-22,46539200,Charles,Denise.  You place is charming and was perfect for my recent visit.  It exceeded all of my expectations and I look forward to staying there again on my next trip to Austin.  Thanks.
8290369,50704671,2015-10-13,45692725,Zihua,"Gary is extremely nice as a host! The rooms are clean and organized. Furnishing is cute and stylish. He prepared ample clean towels, utensils and everything that we needed. The backyard is especially nice with lights decoration. The neighborhood is quiet and not far away from downtown Austin. Five stars for the Eames chairs and the record player."

3959242,18772829,2014-08-31,4931952,Drew,"This place was even better than the listing. An over the garage apartment just blocks from South 1st and South Congress so it is walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Cress was also great, gave us some good recommendations ((email hidden).) and made sure we had everything we needed for the weekend."
3959242,20909829,2014-10-07,4274823,Alex,"A pleasant place with all the essentials and a great accomodating host family who live across the garden.  Very close to downtown in a nice neighborhood.  If your work depends on it, wifi in unit has room for improvement at time of this review, October 2014. Numerous wifi cafes (and restaurants) in walking distance, however.  Mind your sideview mirrors (*CRUNCH!*) backing out of driveway. The neighbors dogs are a strong argument for cats.

I stayed in this unit for a month, and would've stretched it til the end of my Austin trip if vacancy allowed.  Thank you Cressida and family."
3959242,21467938,2014-10-18,2578304,Dalya,"Everything went very smoothly, from the reservation through checking in and getting info about arrival, etc. The location is superb, and the apartment incredibly comfortable and quiet. A great place to stay."

Cress and her family were extremely welcoming, and even provided a little bubbly welcome when we checked in. 

This space is nice, clean, and quiet and were very relaxed here. Thank you again Cress, you were amazing hosts!"

3959242,27569303,2015-03-08,7435349,Luke,"I can't say enough about my lovely stay! It is quiet, comfortable, and central to lots of great south Austin spots. In my two-month stay, the hosts consistently went out of their way to make me feel at home. The loft itself has high ceilings and lots of windows which make it feel spacious and bright. It was a tranquil place to drink coffee and read in the morning, and a cozy place to have friends over for wine in the evening. This listing has my enthusiastic endorsement and I would recommend it to any friend staying in this part of Austin for any length of time. "
3959242,27745944,2015-03-10,21685188,Natasha,"Cressida and her family were lovely and welcoming.  The place is exactly as described and modern and comfortable.  They have a key code on the entrance door that is changed with each guest so you will not need to remember a key and have no trouble checking, no matter what time you arrive.  There is a small balcony on the side that opens into a view of the neighborhood. I would highly recommend this place and would stay again if I visit Austin again.  Thanks Cressida! "
3959242,27852125,2015-03-13,1646193,Diogo,"i can say that we had out best times on this amazing city just here at little casita. we already know lots of airbnb houses around the world and those experience with cressida was one of the best, for sure. we left the house crazy to live 4good over there! everything is perfectly clean, brand new and cosy. for sure we will be back. hope asap :)"
3959242,27949206,2015-03-15,7107494,Nina,This apartment is great.  It is just as described/pictured.  Apartment was clean and in a great location.

3959242,28199199,2015-03-20,3349282,Conrad,"What a wonderful experience staying in Cressida's lovely home. I was in Austin for SXSW and was concerned about the location distance however it was perfect. In a really cool and safe area, with lovely coffee shops and stores nearby. Nice walk into the city and very comfortable amenities. Cressida and her lovely family were the perfect hosts. Loved the chickens in the back yard and her two beautiful I children. Will definitely make sure this is my future place to stay in Austin!"

She was also very responsive to questions, especially important to us since this was our first Airbnb experience. The space was exactly as pictured: clean, modern, and spacious. Location is perfect for exploring south Austin with plenty of great restaurants, food trucks, and shops nearby. It was wonderful to have a little kitchen available to us. An independent entrance and off-street parking were also a huge plus! We were very happy with our stay!"
3959242,30155817,2015-04-18,30142934,Emelia,"Spacious, spotless, perfect location.

LOCATION! This must be the best location in Austin!!  We were able to walk to tons of restaurants and coffee shops (South First, SoCo, and S Lamar).  There is also an abundance of dessert places in walking distance.  We loved our experiences Elizabeth St Cafe, HopDoddys, Once Over (coffee), Odd Duck, and more (each of which are a quick and easy walk from the rental).

We walked to most restaurants and never felt lost without a car.  We used uber liberally to get to other areas of the city - but you certainly would not have to leave the area of the casita.  Even so, we think we turned out better on ubering than had we rented a car (and no parking to deal with!!).

We had a great time at the Quiet Casita on Annie Street.  A bit nervous about my first time using airbnb, but could not have had a better experience.  I was concerned going in about the cleanliness of staying somewhere ""random"", but my fears were misplaced: this place is spotless.

The studio is very spacious and bright.  There is ample closet space for hanging your clothes.  iPhone dock/speaker/clock fills the space well with music.

Because there are no pictures of the bathroom, I was a bit concerned.  It was fine - a good space.  It has a sink, shower, and commode (all of which are very clean).  The shower might be a little short if you are particularly tall, but at 5'6"" and 5'10"" we had no issues.

As the listing states, there is no wifi, so if this is a necessity for you make sure you have tethering ready!

PIN code access and private entry are great amenities and makes it convenient to check in any time and explore without a key.

Overall, wonderful experience in the excellently located spacious studio; great place with communicative and responsive hosts.  Strongly recommend!

"
3959242,35445889,2015-06-19,24848887,Willi,"Perfect home for an extended stay! The neighborhood is awesome, grocery stores and laundries are near by. I even got some eggs from Cressida's own chicken! It's not fully clear in the profile, but there is free wifi available in the Casita. I highly recommend getting a bike for easy travel in Austin."
3959242,41367452,2015-08-07,35392349,David,"I stayed here for nearly 50 days straight, and it was an absolutely wonderful 50 days. First off, the pictures here don't do it justice. I was very impressed with the space. When I arrived it had just been recently cleaned, and very well I might add. The TV in the pictures is not the same that was in the space, it was actually much bigger/nicer. As others have mentioned, there are no images of the bathroom shown but it is a very nice bathroom. The wireless internet worked well too which was a plus. 

The neighborhood is extremely nice. The whole surrounding area is really fun to explore as well. Lots of food trucks and nice restaurants right around the corner. Plus, South Congress is only two blocks away!

I really can't think of any complaints about the place, the hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. I even had a couple of packages delivered to the address and they helped me out by bringing them back to me! Very kind people. All in all, I would highly recommend staying here and if I'm ever back in Austin and need a place to stay, this will be my first choice!"

I had a wonderful relaxing time staying at the Tower Suite.  Michael & Viviane were both very hospitable and helpful from the beginning to the end of visit. They are located only blocks away from SOCO and downtown Austin. I definitely recommend them and their cool home to all making a visit to Austin.

79196,1244616,2012-05-07,1303670,Anand,Amazing stay with Michael and Viviane!  Easily the best (and most hotel-like) experience I've had in Airbnb. A true bed and breakfast!  And Cinnaman's cheescakes are delicious!
79196,1324196,2012-05-21,2381757,Linda,"We had a wonderful stay and Michael was a great host. He greeted us with espresso cheesecakd bites, which were delicious. The suite was very spacious, private and spotless. Michael will make whatever you want for breakfast and he is quite the gourmet cook. It's located just minutes from downtown, Zilker Park, Town Lake and Soco. A great place. We will be returning on our next trip to Austin"
79196,2758972,2012-10-30,2851420,Lynn,Michael and Viviane were wonderful hosts.  The Villa was a short drive from the airport and very easy to find.  The suite was large and very clean. I look forward to another visit soon.  
79196,3765032,2013-03-12,5122476,Christophe,"Excellent expérience! Viviane and Mike are so great hosts, warmful, welcoming, and helpful for all the tips you need when visiting Austin... The room (suite) was clean, well decorated and very comfortable. The place is calm, far enough from downtown to relax and close enough to get to downtown in 5 to 10 minutes (by car), you may even go on foot or by bus... Additionally, if you prefer to speak French, Viviane is well at ease as she originally is a French person...
We absolutely recommend this place and their hosts. You won't be disappointed!"
79196,3929106,2013-03-28,5080181,Sami,"Viviane is a great host, friendly helpful, kind, warm and absolutely reliable person. My family and I spent a great time at her home.  I recommend this house to anyone who wants to spend a great time in Austin. Thank you Viviane!"
79196,4255701,2013-04-22,5802538,Calvin,"visited on MotoGP weekend.  Tower suite was great, bed was comfortable and accommodations were clean and private.  We would love to stay there again when we return to Austin."
79196,8400218,2013-10-28,9247760,James,"Viviane and Michael were very hospitable and welcoming. They were flexible with our arrival and departure, which was fantastic. The rooms were well furnished and comfortable. Breakfast was very good and at the time of our choosing, also very convenient.Overall, we had a pleasant stay with Viviane and Michael."
79196,20701961,2014-10-04,20873864,Tone,"Blomster var satt frem og verten møtte oss når vi kom frem, veldig hyggelig. 
Vi fikk servert frokost hver morgen når vi var klare.
Rommene var som beskrevet i annonsen, rene og store. Vertene var veldig imøtekommende og hjelpsomme. CinnaMan lager svært gode ostekaker.
Rolig nabolag og ikke noe støy. Vi brukte parkering ved huset.
Kommer gjerne tilbake dersom vi er i Austin igjen :-) Kan anbefales.
"
79196,22736526,2014-11-13,9282453,Will,Great place and great neighborhood. The larger space they have is two great rooms and a bathroom. Well worth the price. The hosts are lovely. Only slight drawback is no kitchen. But that's just fine with me!
79196,27889233,2015-03-14,14743587,Jimmy,"I can't recommend Viviane and Michael's place highly enough!

The rooms themselves (including the bathroom) were immaculately kept, well-stocked with everything you'd need and everything worked without any issues. Plenty of space for 4 people to sleep, sit and lounge around.

The place itself is in a very convenient location. South of the river, but the freeway is very close, so by car/Uber/Lyft it's less than 10 minutes to the downtown area. The rooms have a pleasant view and are very quiet, making for a very tranquil setting to come back to after a day of exploring, eating and music!

We were lucky to have two great hosts. Always available to answer our questions and full of recommendations, Viviane and Michael made our stay in Austin even better!"
79196,28029619,2015-03-16,2809909,Charlie,"Mine was a very brief visit. But exactly what I wanted: good up front communication, a warm welcome (warm smile + plate of warm brownies and cold beers in the fridge), clean and comfortable rooms, hot water all day....in fact, just as described and consistent with the positive reviews I read. 10 mins by taxi to the centre, short walk to the river. Happy to recommend."
79196,28765985,2015-03-29,21797256,Lou,"Viviane and Michael were wonderful, warm, accommodating hosts. We were made to feel at home and enjoyed the lovely rooms in their Tower Suite. We were in town for a family funeral, and at several points during our three day stay we needed a comfortable place to crash and just regain our centers. Their home perfectly fit the bill.  Welcome snacks and breakfasts were wonderful, and much more than was expected. Next time we are in Austin (hopefully not for a funeral!), we will certainly try to return to Team CinnaMan. "
79196,49003018,2015-09-30,40044254,Slade,"Viviane and Michael made me feel very welcome!  The accommodations were excellent, and I really enjoyed staying here.  Would definitely stay here again.  Great location too! "
79196,50453162,2015-10-12,11261213,Marie,"My friend and I were in town for the ACL concert and while this location is not located in the heart of Austin, it was close enough to get to the downtown area and SoCo by car so it didn't cause a problem for us. The rooms in the tower suite were spacious and the pictures were very accurate. CinnaMan is a lovely, welcoming host who was happy to answer any questions and was very accomodating with our late check-in and check-out time. I highly recommend staying (website hidden). He makes delicious muffins! (I'm going to miss those!). "
4249149,33307975,2015-05-26,33211348,James,"A group of friends and I stayed here over Memorial Day weekend.  The owner was super accommodating and helpful to get everything set up and made sure we were comfortable. The pictures were accurate, the house was clean, the place was in an awesome neighborhood, and actually had enough room for the 7 of us, plus room for more if needed.  The house is right between S. Congress and 1st street, so we could walk to get any food or stores. The games in the basement, bikes, grill, and other items were great to have and were really above and beyond what we were expecting.  We had flooding rains that weekend, so the basement did get a little wet, but the owners made sure that everything was ok.  They even offered to do anything needed to make it easy on us. We loved this place.  We will be looking to stay here again for any trip we take to Austin in the future."
4249149,34833953,2015-06-12,21978100,Kim,"I absolutely loved this house! The location could not be more perfect. The decor is lovely and the rooms are all very spacious with plenty of beds throughout the house. 
The backyard provides a lot of privacy as well as being a great place to hang out.
I have rented many places all over the country and very few have been as nice as this one. 
Also, a big thanks to the host, Ryan, for being a delight to work with!"
4249149,35175004,2015-06-15,35434094,Brandon,"Ryan’s place was perfect for our weekend trip to Austin! The house is in great condition, clean, and very spacious. Additional perks like darts, ping pong, numerous bikes, and lawn games made it even better. Regarding location, it’s great for getting around all of the shops and restaurants in the South Congress area. Given the 95 degree heat we had that weekend, however, it was not close enough for walking to downtown/6th street. Nonetheless, an Uber cost us $7  and 5 minutes, so that was not at all a problem.
 
Ryan was a great host and flexible with meeting us to check in. He’s thoughtful about his guests and provides numerous things that other hosts may not: excess towels, bug spray, sunscreen, coffee. We would definitely stay at this house again. "
4249149,37589126,2015-07-08,11112324,Corina,"We had a wonderful stay. The house is located in an awesome location, can walk and ride bikes to everything. The house has everything you need -lots of beds, plenty of space, great back yard, and fun game room. I would stay here again the next time I come to Austin and would recommend it to friends."
4249149,38144234,2015-07-13,22687327,Austin,"This place is great and I highly recommend it. We had all the beds set out for our needs and the place looked great! Enjoyed the convenient location, games to play, and Elvis theme! "
4249149,40120051,2015-07-28,7803405,Victoria,"This is a great house in a fabulous location, the best in Austin, I think. The house itself was perfect for our family with 3 bedrooms and a well equiped kitchen. We were met when we arrived and made to feel very welcome and we were shown how to use everything. We had a lovely a few days. Thank you very much"
4249149,41988134,2015-08-10,37812640,Joe,"The house was just as described, extremely clean and the perfect place for our weekend. The location couldn't have been any better. Two blocks from just about everything. Would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. "
4249149,43265261,2015-08-18,38619570,Galen,The place was super clean and organized. But not in a way that was unwelcome. You couldn't beat the location and everything about the place was as it was described. 
4249149,44715607,2015-08-28,477170,Lorissa,"Amazing location near South Congress shopping, restaurants and fun.  Can't beat the comfort and cleanliness of this lovely home.  The backyard is also awesome and very nicely done.  No complaints would definitely recommend it to friends.
"
4249149,45107191,2015-08-31,27278738,Ryan,"Ryan's place more than exceeded our expectations! The location was amazing, we stayed for three nights but needed at least twice that to explore all that the place and surrounding areas had to offer! Beds and house were all comfy and clean. Backyard was so much fun! 5 stars!"
4249149,45953562,2015-09-07,37063616,Jared,"We had a group of guys get together for my best friend's bachelor weekend in Austin and Ryan's house is where we decided to stay. First of all, his house is in a perfect location, just off S. Congress, which put us in an ideal spot in town. We had originally planned on not spending much time at the house and spending a lot of time out during Labor Day weekend, but that quickly changed when we got to Ryan's place and saw everything it had to offer. The living room is spacious with a great TV, the back yard was a good size with tailgating games, and they had a nice grill out back as well. I cannot say enough great things about the place and Ryan's organization. 

My only complaint isn't even really a complaint. In a perfect world there would have been more than 1 bathroom, but we knew that going in and definitely made it work. With every other great aspect of the house, we hardly even noticed it only had one bathroom.

We had a great time and a very successful trip. I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you! "
4249149,46907800,2015-09-14,26972658,Craig,"Overall, it was an awesome experience. The house was immaculate and very comfortable. Everything was thought of that a guest might need and then some. "
4249149,47974582,2015-09-22,15016931,Patrick,"Ryan was an excellent host.  There was a great packet of info on the neighborhood when we arrived and most importantly the door lock was a keypad so no hassling with how to get keys! Especially handy with a larger group.

About the place:
The house is in a fantastic location. Walking distance to everything 6th Street and a quick Uber away from most everything else. Highly recommend trying Jo's coffee nearby.  The beds in the house are plenty comfy and there were a ton of towels for our use which was super handy.  We were out exploring most of the time but the house has a great backyard to use and Ryan has outfitted the lower level with a great ping pong table setup.

A great stay all in all, highly recommended!  "
4249149,48692741,2015-09-28,37175489,Cher,We had a great experience in Austin! The house was perfect. It is in a great location and had everything we needed and more! The backyard was chill and we had plenty of fun games to play! Highly recommend this place! 
4249149,49881454,2015-10-07,26897024,Bradley,Ryan has a great book put together with all of the local food spots and tips when visiting Austin. He customized the bed set up to fit our needs. 
4249149,50616649,2015-10-13,12266561,Amanda,Ryan's house was perfect for our girls trip to ACL. It's in an amazing location right near S Congress and walking distance to a lot of great spots in Austin. I highly recommend this house to get a true Austin experience!
4249149,51282663,2015-10-19,41353899,James,"My four friends and I had a great experience at Ryan's home for a long weekend in Austin. Leading up to the trip, Ryan was responsive at every turn and provided a great welcome packet, including his favorite hot spots.  The house was perfectly set up, just as we had requested and comfortably fit the five of us.  The location is great and a short walk to many bars/restaurants in the SOCO area. We also took full advantage of the bikes in Ryan's garage, which provided us a fantastic way to explore many other areas of the city.  Overall, a great host, great house, and great experience."
4249149,52855079,2015-11-02,7571661,Sarah,"Great house for a group, with a perfect backyard to hang out. The house is also very close to the heart of the action, it was perfect. Ryan was also great to deal with. Highly recommended!"

5174375,28391533,2015-03-23,26920421,Jayla,"My first experience with AirBnb was exceptional, although the great customer service and transparency exhibited by AirBnb was not totally reciprocated by the AirBnb host.  As our first interactions with the host were very amicable, it seems he was not totally transparent from what he expected from us as guests, although we clearly asked for any house rules or expectations to abide by before arriving.  As time went on, he expressed concern about more than 6 people staying, which was confusing because that was agreed to upon payment weeks before we arrived.  Then he expressed to AirBnb that he was uncomfortable with us sleeping on the couch, a portion of the house that he openly advertised to AirBnb viewers via his listing post.  AirBnb refunded us for our last night and put us in a hotel room at no cost, which was very convenient and pleasing, yet confusing as our host hadn’t clearly expressed that he  wanted us to leave his apartment.  We did not know we had made such an atrocious move to warrant such actions, but we moved to the hotel anyway.  AirBnb was very responsive and quick in refunding us for the listing as well as the hotel, we had a great weekend and left for home.  Upon arriving home, I was blindsided by a request for $63 from the host who believes we broke a blind and took a towel…For clarity, the 1 blind in the room we shared was already broken before our arrival, which he had already known (it would not move up and down).  Secondly, if this was the case, he could have easily told us this the last day that we were supposed to stay in his listing, and not after we left for an amicable resolution.  I am insulted by how he portrays us as bad guests and asks for unwarranted money, when really, his lack of transparency led to his current complaints, none of which we as guests caused.  In conclusion, if anyone decides to stay here, make sure you only stay in the apartment to sleep, as it is not a place to spend time in the home with friends and family.  The omnipresent host is not transparent with what he is and is not comfortable with, and, based on our experience, depending on how he feels after you leave, he will attempt to charge you for pre-existing problems. Once again, I loved AirBnb’s clarity and customer service and hope to use them again.  Next time I will just be wary of using a first-time host as they may need more time to adapt and work with strangers."
7620169,48623483,2015-09-27,1709065,Michele,"Lisa's apartment was immaculate and very inviting. She lives right off South Lamar, so it was very convenient to downtown where I spent most of my time. I would absolutely stay here again!!!

-Michele"
7620169,49445597,2015-10-04,34402952,Paul,Had a great time during our visit to Austin. The home was close to many attractions and we walked to ACL with no issues. Lisa is an incredibly accommodating and a great communicator.
7620169,50309169,2015-10-11,28645581,Hayli,Lisa's awesome place was right down Lamar which is super close to Zilker Park for ACL. We uber'ed down to the corner of Lamar (about 5$) and Barton Springs then took a pedicab to the actual park (5-10/person). Her apartment was super clean and really cute. It was very relaxing to come home to a cozy and peaceful environment after being outside all day. 
7620169,51330184,2015-10-19,5253233,Robert,"Great stay at Lisa's apartment. Very clean, easy parking, and even some beers in the fridge! Lisa was very responsive to communication and even ran a hair dryer over for my wife within minutes of me texting her. Would definitely stay at Lisa's place again."
6151588,31280902,2015-05-03,32446337,Marisa,We had a wonderful experience at Raul's place!!! It was very clean and the house was beautiful! We we very pleased that Raul was able to confirm our reservation within an hour and could get the place ready for us same day. My only disappointment was that we weren't able to stay longer to enjoy the stunning front and back yards and the giant spa tub!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to the Austin area!!
6151588,33044935,2015-05-24,12840317,Donald,"We had a great time staying at Raul's place. He had clear communication, nice decorations and amenities around the house, and an impressive Jacuzzi tub that made our stay in Austin great, even with all of the bad weather that we had. 

Will definitely stay here again!

698313,3779069,2013-03-14,1496229,Matthew,"me and colleague stayed at Kelly's place for 7 days at SXSW2013 and we had an excellent time.  It's close enough to town to walk, and down the brilliant South Congress, which is cool for food and shopping, but is also in a lovely area away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.
Kelly was a brilliant host, absolutely no issues whatsoever in the build up or during our stay.  Lovely bedrooms, your own bathroom, good internet, lovely atmosphere, access to the fridge, even some bagels, pie and Coronas thrown into the equation.  The photos and description is a true reflection of her place.  Couldn't fault anything."
698313,3815073,2013-03-18,4743374,Wildcat,"Kelly was an amazing host!  She was extremely accommodating, making sure we always had what we needed.  Her home is warm, comfortable, and very clean.  It was truly a home away from home.  It was our first time to Austin and we couldn't have picked a better spot.  We highly recommend Kelly and her beautiful condo to everyone. "
698313,10391512,2014-02-17,2715755,Alexandra,"Wow! Where to start? Kelly has an absolutely amazing home that is kept in tip-top shape. Stunning, comfortable and in a great neighborhood. We spent an unseasonably (but oh-so-welcomed) evening drinking beers on the second floor balcony after spending all day on South Congress. I highly recommend this place to couples and small groups (we were a group of three women). Special thanks to Kelly herself who was on hand to greet us and provided a bottle of wine, coffee & fruit for our welcome. Seriously cannot say enough kind words about this place & hostess. "
698313,20906633,2014-10-07,10751297,Jon,"Stunning home, down to the smallest detail. Perfect location - tucked away on a quiet street, but only minutes away by bike to SoCo. Kelly was a gracious and responsive host. Hope to stay here again soon. "
698313,22355861,2014-11-04,9854639,Danny,"Perfect, in every possible way. I could stop there and be satisfied in providing an accurate review. Or I could say the host & home (Kelly) exceeded all (email hidden)at would work to. But for those that prefer more specifics - here goes:

If you get anxiety over communication, don't - Kelly is hyper-responsive and crystal clear in providing info and instructions. If you're skeptical about cleanliness and home condition, don't be - Kelly's home is immaculate and white-glove ready. Concerned over the neighborhood or location? Do yourself a favor and stay at Kelly's - you can walk to just about everything worth checking out in Austin, on South Congress, Lady Bird, and downtown. Even Zilker and the green-belt are doable for the reasonably fit and adventurous.  

So, yes - I highly recommend Kelly and her home. I certainly hope she's available for my next trip to Austin.

-db"
698313,22606251,2014-11-10,1626178,Carmi,"Amazing place - Kelly was communicative and easy to work with and the place was amazing, as was the neighborhood.  Wed love to stay there again!"
698313,28115906,2015-03-18,736749,Jen,"Kelly's house is spacious, clean and comfortable! We felt welcome upon arrival with a bottle of wine and coffee left out for us. The living area has a large L-shaped couch and a big dining table. Bedrooms were large, airy and super quiet at night. I slept so well! The neighborhood is really nice and about a 5 min. walk to South Congress St. "
698313,28376540,2015-03-23,11027035,Amber,Kelly made sure everything was perfect for our arrival and stay.  A really great house in a terrific location close to the river and South Congress and has everything you need for a relaxing stay.  Thanks Kelly!
698313,38754078,2015-07-18,6507304,Declan,Excellent house. High quality interior. Location is ace. Couldn't recommend highly enough & Kelly is super responsive and helpful 
698313,40146858,2015-07-28,8745278,Helen,"It was my first time in Austin and I'm so glad I stayed at Kelly's place as it was perfect! Location was in a beautiful, friendly neighbourhood, close enough to walk to Southern Congress for shopping/eats. To get to downtown, it was easy enough to catch a Uber/Lyft and be there in a few minutes. 

Kelly's home was super clean and had everything I needed - including some items for breakfast in the fridge that she'd prepared.

Communication with Kelly was swift, she responded comprehensively each time in a timely manner. I really appreciated that, and in particular, being greeted by her sister on the day of my arrival, as Kelly was away on travel. 

I'd definitely stay at Kelly's again if I'm ever back in Austin - thank you so much for everything!!"
698313,42704449,2015-08-15,6507304,Declan,went back for a 2nd stay. 100% great house in a  quality location and a excellent host. highly recommend.
698313,45145422,2015-08-31,11622247,Tom,"Great place, great location. A very comfortable house to reside, really lovely. The layout is excellent. My third place in Austin I have stayed in and this was the best.
Very close to SOCO, walking distance, beautiful neighbourhood but the house was a really a great place if you wanted to relax too.
This time I was visiting to see my new grandaughter and we hung out frequently in the house because it was so ideal. If I was visiting for SXSW which I have several times going back over the years then this could not be a more perfect location. 
Very roomy, in mint condition, it must be a relatively new build , tastefully decorated. 
Kelly was out of town but emailed every few days to make sure everything was ok. Which it was.
Can't imagine anyone could have a problem staying here."
577499,2409276,2012-09-25,3324363,Rob,"Professional, lovely, friendly, well-located, and fastidous. I arrived much later than planned because of numerous plane delays but everything still went smoothly. A provided bowl of fruit and bag of crackers was my dinner that night so I didn't go to bed hungry. Properly ground coffee sat in the fridge which beat any freeze-dried whatever-year old bag you'd get in a hotel. The room was covered in bookshelves adorned with books and other optional niceties which isn't too far off my Chicago apartment. Will likely use again next time I'm in Austin."
577499,2479498,2012-10-01,3621465,Rustin,Margo and Gregory were communicative and accommodating. Great price and centrally-located.  Thanks again!  Will definitely go back!  
577499,2843973,2012-11-09,2415089,Lilli,Loved the studio! Great neighborhood and within walking distance to great restaurants and the park. Margo and Gregory were very accommodating. We would definitely stay again!
577499,2885741,2012-11-15,3568774,Tessa,Great stay! The studio is clean and feels like a stylish home. Our stay was enhanced by how welcoming Margo and her husband are! Lots of advice on good restaurants and bars.

577499,3256091,2013-01-03,1495809,Harley,"Great experience! The hosts were very communicative and went out of their way while on vacation to make sure we were settled. Accommodations were way beyond expectations. Great place to stay, very highly recommended."
577499,3398212,2013-01-22,4718682,Marc,"Great little space tucked away off Barton Springs. Margo was readily available and great to encounter. Make sure to stop by Juiceland, it's just around the corner."
577499,3466849,2013-02-03,2680289,Hannah,"The Sunny Zilker Neighborhood Studio was a dream! Margo was kind and gracious, she left us a bag of chips and recommended a few local places for us to check out. We would love to come back. "
577499,3536057,2013-02-13,1502387,Schoneck,"Great home. Margo and Gregory were very helpful. Sadly I wasn't able to hang out or get there Austin secrets due to my schedule, but they were great hosts none the less.

Check out Juiceland and Flipnotics close by. Also great area to go on a run to Zilker Park.

Love Austin"
577499,3628214,2013-02-26,3443366,Lindsey,"This studio is the perfect size for two people, and it's in a great neighborhood. It's very close to a bunch of restaurants and bars, and more importantly Zilker Park. Margo and Greg were both great. They gave us a bunch of suggestions for where to eat. They even left us some snacks, which was awesome! We rented a car, and there was plenty of street parking. I recommend checking out Flipnotics or Austin Java just down the street for a good cup of coffee, and Juiceland for a yummy smoothie. Overall, great location and a great spot to stay!"
577499,3720331,2013-03-08,1759661,Lindsey,"Lovely, peaceful studio, everything it promised to be. It's clean, comfortable and well designed, with speedy internet, a garden area to sit in, and lovely little touches everywhere, like the list of great local radio stations, and coat hooks that slot smoothly back into the wall, like a little design secret. Kind, calm and considerate hosts - I wouldn't hesitate to come back! "
577499,3770650,2013-03-13,2900026,Sofie,"My husband and I really loved staying in Margo and Gregs wonderful studio! The neighborhood and the garden were cozy, green and quiet - really just what we needed after spending long days at the busy SXSW. Margo and Greg were awesome hosts!! They gave us maps and instructions to find their favorite spots in Austin - and they even lent us their bikes, so we could get around easily. THANK YOU - we would love to come back some other time.

577499,3883919,2013-03-24,4977642,Tomasz,"I'm in ma road trip across USA and i have visited Margo's and her husband's guest house! It is just fantastic. Looks like they both have a really cool taste in interior design! It's spacious and very clean! Local area is also beautiful with fabulous old houses and green scenery! Also you can count on Margo to advise you where to go in Austin and where to eat or have a drink locally! I really enjoyed my (email hidden) that is just about 5 minutes walk from the house. Highly Recommended Hosts!

577499,3939467,2013-03-29,5269603,Sam,Margo is a great host with a room in a very desirable location. This is a great place for couples looking to be close to the action.
577499,4021196,2013-04-03,4920795,Lisa,The studio is in an ideal location for those who'd like to stay in a neighborhood setting -- charming and quiet however just a short walk to restaurants and shops. Also a quick walk to Barton Springs Pool. Margo and Greg were perfect hosts. Thanks!!
577499,4251382,2013-04-22,5606555,Isaiah,This was a great spot to stay in Austin. It was conveniently located near tons of restaurants and bars that were walking distance. Both Margo and her husband were very knowledgeable about the area and suggested great things to do. The room itself was very comfy and clean. I would definitely stay here again.
577499,4335175,2013-04-29,4850233,Christabel,"This studio is just perfect.  Tucked away behind Margo and Gregory’s house in a quiet residential neighbourhood, it is incredibly peaceful.  It is surrounded by tall trees so is nice and shady, and all you can hear is birdsong.  You can also lie in the bathtub and watch squirrels running along the garden fence.  I stayed here whilst attending a conference and it was wonderful to escape from the city at the end of each day to this leafy retreat.  You can easily walk into the city in about 40 minutes along the riverbank on jogging/bike paths.  The studio is very simple but has everything you need, and Margo and Gregory are really helpful and considerate hosts.  I would definitely stay there again."
577499,4707211,2013-05-21,5813358,Kyle,"Margo and Greg were great hosts. The studio was wonderful, neighborhood was amazing.  Close to everything we wanted and needed to be at.  We would definitely stay at their place again. "
577499,4781076,2013-05-25,474699,Dean,"Very pleasant place, quiet, great location for Barton Springs. "
577499,4833924,2013-05-28,2268412,Rona,Our stay at Margo's was so convenient and easy.  The location of her studio is perfect for exploring Austin neighborhoods and she generously lent us her bicycles which made getting around very easy.  Margo was very helpful with directions and recommendations for restaurants and places to shop.  She is really a wonderful host.  The studio accommodations had everything we needed.  We would definitely stay here again. 
577499,4951316,2013-06-03,5462578,Cecil,"Margo is a wonderful host. She is friendly and the studio is a great place to stay for a weekend in Austin. The location is fantastic, a stone's throw away from Barton Springs, Zilker Park, Botanical Garden, SoCo. It's in a really peaceful neighborhood and the entire area is very pleasant. Highly recommended!"
577499,5908231,2013-07-22,3105244,Maddie,"We had such a great time in Austin. The studio was in the perfect location. My husband and I rented bicycles and toured Austin by day and night. Margo and Gregory were amazing hosts; they helped us with local recommendations, directions, and supplying us a few items we left back home. The studio was cozy and the outdoor seating area was perfect for morning coffee. We would definitely stay here again.  "
577499,6307379,2013-08-07,7185912,Ashley,"My husband and I went to visit Austin to check it out since we would like to move there. Margo and her husband were great hosts. They were very helpful in giving suggestions for neighborhoods to check out and places to eat/visit. The studio was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. It was the perfect size for us since we were only there really to sleep. The location was great too. A 5min drive to Barton Springs and 10min to downtown. We took a cab as well and it was $8.50. We had a car and parking on the street was not a problem.

All in all it was a successful trip and we would stay with them again!"
577499,7180855,2013-09-09,518727,Melanie,"We had a wonderful experience at the guest house. It's in a beautiful neighborhood and Margo has all the local eateries and parks clearly marked on a map for guests. I highly recommend their rental for a nice, quiet getaway close to downtown! Cool restaurants and coffee shops are walking distance and downtown was a quick 10 minute drive."
577499,7382489,2013-09-17,8738902,Justin,Great home in Zilker that felt private and comfortable. It's in a cozy neighborhood that is quiet. Great location in the city with walking distance to Barton Springs. I would stay here again. 
577499,7757887,2013-10-01,8815187,Rosie,"The space was clean, comfortable, and quiet.  We slept great and enjoyed the location of the studio within Austin.  Both Margo and her husband were easy, kind, and accommodating.  The nice touches of snacks and coffee made it feel more like a hotel.  I would recommend this space and would definitely go back.
"
577499,7868125,2013-10-07,889718,Steve,"Margo and Gregory were excellent hosts, very nice and accommodating.  The Zilker Studio was very comfortable and relaxing. Great location for ACL, Barton Springs, everything within walking distance.  I would recommend highly and will stay again if the opportunity arises. "
577499,8299114,2013-10-24,2297045,Veit & Johanna,"Margo and Gregory are wonderful hosts! They cared so much and really made our Austin experience perfect. Also, the studio is a great, clean and comfortable place to stay. We even got a detailed map with walking routes from the studio to all the local restaurants and things to do. Thanks both for the great time!"
577499,8406523,2013-10-29,3352041,Lynda,"Gregory and Margo were wonderful hosts and were sincerely interested in helping me have a nice visit.

The Zilker studio was clean, cozy, quiet, and equipped with a good sized little frig, plenty of glasses, mugs, plates, and utensils. 

The studio is located in a safe and walkable neighborhood that have darling homes that are examples of south Austin/funky vernacular style. 

I would stay here again.

"
577499,8655302,2013-11-11,283637,Nick,"My friend and I rented this apartment for 2 nights for FunFunFun Fest. It was exactly what we needed. Plenty of sleeping space, every needed amenity. The apartment was very clean. I'll more than likely be revisiting for the next event in Austin."
577499,8778697,2013-11-18,3641669,Stephen,"Great place, lovely hosts and fantastic location to get to downtown Austin, although the neighbourhood itself was great with some really nice restaurants nearby, Umani, Uncle Billy's and Green Mesquite particularly!  Thanks for a great weekend!"
577499,9228910,2013-12-15,10016379,Nick,"Margo and Greg's studio apartment is fantastic!  It is private and very comfortable.  The property is beautiful and they were fantastic hosts.  Greg gave us a long list of points of interest and it really enhanced our trip.

I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin.  "
577499,9957621,2014-01-21,998865,Chris,"I would 100% recommend Margo's studio for anyone looking to rent a private space in Austin. 

Margo and Gregory are wonderful. They were easy to communicate with prior to our visit, available for recommendations during our stay and just overall very friendly people. 

The studio is behind their home with a separate entrance, it is very comfortable with great attention to detail. 

The location is very central, several great walkable restaurants nearby and close to the lake and parks.  

Overall a great place to stay in Austin! 
"
577499,10270047,2014-02-10,819143,Max,"Margo was a great host, and we really enjoyed the space.  It was a clean, comfortable, and affordable place for the weekend.  Would return without hesitation."
577499,10566773,2014-02-25,2292403,Sharman,"Great place to stay in close-in Austin. The location is perfect (both for convenience and the fun of being in a funky neighborhood vs a sterile hotel district), hosts are warm and helpful, space is comfortable and very clean. It is a very good value. The space is quite small (it's hard for me to imagine staying there with more than 2 people but I am a little spoiled, I think; if you're on a budget, you can definitely make it work; it will just be very ""cozy""). Both bed and sofa were very comfortable and there's a desk area that was put up after the photos were taken which is kind of nice for using your computer, or even just lining up all the electronics to charge them). They have definitely made the most of the space. "
577499,10651962,2014-03-01,12585417,Ben,"This was our first time to Austin.  And Margo's small cottage was the perfect space.  Centrally located, quiet, private, clean, comfortable....we had a great visit. 

"
577499,10721380,2014-03-04,11706126,Sarah,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was very positive.   Great location, easy to find, colorful neighborhood that really captures Austin's quirkiness.  For tourists it is centrally located near the park and lots of hot spots.  comfortable space, i found the large bed very firm, so i preferred sleeping on the couch which i found very comfy.   My host had left me snacks and tea/coffee fixings.   I enjoyed the CD player.  quiet, clean and very private.  Would be happy to return.  
"
577499,10899682,2014-03-12,2384739,Brian,"Margo and Gregory's studio was perhaps the highlight of my SXSW adventure in Austin. The studio was a welcome quiet sanctuary away from a hectic downtown. It's tucked away in their backyard on a suburban street, so it's easy to leave and enter without bothering anyone. And they've really designed and furnished the studio well to make it feel as comfortable as home. Despite the concrete floors, the warm rugs, library of books, thoughtful lighting, and quality bedding make the place a delightful getaway. The only thing better was how generous they were. Gregory lent me his bicycle the whole stay and even gave me a ride (and company for coffee) downtown on a bad weather day. They're welcoming, interesting people and I would definitely stay with them again. "
577499,11043373,2014-03-18,5961157,Melinda,"Our stay at Margo and Gregory's was fantastic. We were out and about all day for SXSW and their place was the perfect haven to come back to when we needed a rest. 
The place is an easy walk or quick bus ride from town. 
Unfortunately we didn't meet Margo until the last day, however Gregory was great at providing us tips on how the get around the city and places nearby to check out for food and drinks. 
We would definitely book with Margo and Gregory again if we are lucky enough to return to Austin in the future."
577499,11148417,2014-03-23,2212196,Lizz,This space was great - had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Margo and Greg have a nice little library of books in the studio to flip through. Location is everything! Don't forget to walk to Juiceland for a refreshing drink.
577499,11244462,2014-03-26,537017,Alex,"Margo and Gregory have a near perfect setup. The studio is detached with its own entrance, a very comfortable space for sleeping, relaxing with a book or just to escape the sun for a bit. Location is ideal! An easy walk to every neighborhood, with main road access points to cross the river. Zilker has many beautiful homes with creative architecture, so go explore. The kitchen is minimal with just the necessities, but you should be eating out at one of Austin's killer restaurants anyway! M&G are wonderful hosts, very friendly, communicative and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
577499,11323057,2014-03-30,11966089,Carey,"The perfect place for us to stay on our visit to Austin! Very comfortable space, great little neighborhood, and convenient location to downtown. We met Margo on our arrival and felt very welcome. "
577499,11411465,2014-04-01,2549772,Xue,"This is what I think of when I think of Austin: a place full of creative energy near Zilker Park, downtown, walking distance to restaurants, etc. This place is easy to get to/fro with parking on the street. The bed fits two adults comfortably; a separate area for bathroom; and there's even room for a couch; lots of windows for nature light and its situated in the back of the property so you get to enjoy the garden right outside the sliding doors for morning coffee or afternoon reading and the garden is shared with the main house where the hosts live. The hosts were friendly and easy to work with and they do not intrude on your privacy. If you want that Austin experience, this is it."
577499,11490730,2014-04-05,12952593,Becky,"We had a wonderful stay at Margo and Gregory's studio.  They gave us great guidance on where to eat and rent bikes, and Gregory made a point to come out and chat every morning and evening.  They also let us borrow one of their bikes, so we only had to rent one with a bike trailer for our child.  The place was small but very clean, and we much appreciated the tea and snacks.  It's also in a perfect location.
We would love to come back here!  Austin was a blast, and Margo and Gregory's hospitality made our stay that much better."
577499,11638751,2014-04-10,7654409,Byron,"We really enjoyed our stay at Margo's guest house - great location and quiet, private, comfortable place that I'd definitely recommend to others visiting Austin. "
577499,11714031,2014-04-13,12715911,Christine,"This Canadian loved the sounds of the birds in the morning. Stylish and funky  neighbourhood close to everything. Super-friendly hosts were knowledgable and generous when needed, relaxed and laissez-faire otherwise.  Highly recommended."
577499,11988003,2014-04-21,9404506,Elizabeth,"Margo and Greg provided a great space for us to stay on our extended trip to Austin. It was the perfect spot, central to everything we were interested in and close enough for us to get to hot spots in downtown Austin. Having the coffee maker, utensils, fridge, etc. was a nice touch and very convenient to have around. Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this studio space to anyone going to Austin."
577499,12443040,2014-05-02,14653017,Emma,Margo and Greg's studio was a slice of heaven on our trip to Austin. The closeness to Zilker Park and Barton Springs is amazing not to mention the peace and quiet you do not get in a typical hotel. We had everything we needed to enjoy the city and find refuge from our busy lives. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone interested.
577499,12494114,2014-05-04,5636127,Riley,"The studio was cozy and just enough space for 2 people to stay.  As another reviewer mentioned, the bed is rather hard although I think it's more due to the platform that it's on rather than the mattress.  Just something to note if you don't like firm beds.  The hosts made sure to provide instructions for gadgets, lights etc posted around the studio and also provided a nice little binder of bike rentals, maps and other activities.  While we didn't get to meet the hosts, they were communicative prior to our arrival.  We loved the personal touches of snacks, guides and coffee being provided.  It was great especially for a short stay when you don't have time to go out and buy these things!"
577499,12829435,2014-05-12,12860037,Candy,"Neighborhood is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous area with lots of old trees, beautiful houses. Hosts were super nice, great assortment of treats and amenities left for us. Space is in shaded backyard so it was always nice and cool. Very pleased with our choice!
"
577499,13011358,2014-05-17,11581648,Kevin,"Margo and Gregory were excellent hosts that tended to all my needs (towels, coffee, and snacks) and the studio space was very nice. I would love to stay again."
577499,13080237,2014-05-19,13835219,Luke,"Gregory and Margo were great. They gave us tips on places to visit and see that were within walking distance of the house. The studio itself is in a quiet, urban neighborhood that made it easy to walk to everything. We had a great stay and are looking forward to planning another trip at some point."
577499,13296811,2014-05-24,289389,Cullen & Bekah,"Amazing neighborhood, awesome apartment in a great backyard. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Margo!"
577499,13346508,2014-05-26,183540,Maggie,"Margo was very accommodating and the studio was lovely. I enjoyed the neighborhood and it was centrally located. When I arrived it was raining and Margo offered me an umbrella which was great. I was also able to extend my check out time on the last day. The studio had a lot of details that made it comfortable; couch was extra long, extensive collection of books, TV/DVD combo and a wonderful selection of teas. I appreciate that a hairdryer was available since I didn't pack one. Overall it was a good experience and I felt very comfortable here. "
577499,13519726,2014-05-29,6988616,Lacey,Everything as expected! Very nice space & a great neighborhood for experiencing Austin!
577499,14117635,2014-06-12,13446449,Barbara,"Had a terrific time in the Sunny Zilker Neighborhood Studio! True to its name! The studio is spacious, well-designed, and very hip. The backyard is beautiful and a great spot to relax after touring Austin. "
577499,14301122,2014-06-16,15876634,Terrie,Great studio in a great location.   Our hosts were wonderful.   Gregory gave us great ideas for our bike rides.  We enjoyed our stay.  We look forward to returning in the future.
577499,15723394,2014-07-14,17670023,Elaine,"We loved our stay in this quiet studio off of S. Lamar in Austin. The location was perfect, the accommodations lovely, and Margo and Gregory offered several special touches. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed!"
577499,16200171,2014-07-23,6707160,Melanie,"We had a wonderful stay in the Zilker neighborhood at Margo's sunny studio. She and her family were welcoming, warm, and full of great suggestions. The studio itself is clean and a good size for a pair of travelers like us. We loved that the refrigerator was stocked with bottled water and that there was coffee, snacks, and chocolate on hand! Thanks again for a great stay!"
577499,16498901,2014-07-28,17894916,Carmen,Margo and Gregory were awesome hosts! The studio was accommodating and very relaxing/quiet. They gave great advice for breakfast places as well as bike rentals and water activities. Barton Springs is just within walking distance of the house and we would not have known without them telling us! I would recommend this place to anyone!! 
577499,17905961,2014-08-18,17844259,Carrie,"We LOVED this studio - the walkability, the quiet and friendly neighbors, waking up to tree-filtered sunshine, being surrounded by books, and the occasional nearby live music (which is free to listen to while you enjoy some wine in the back yard). The hosts were great - they were out of town, so we never met, but Margo stayed in touch with us the whole time, making sure we had what we needed and recommending great restaurants and things to do (take her up on these recommendations - she knows what she's talking about!). Trust me, you want to stay here. "
577499,18501591,2014-08-27,20082379,Meredith,This was an amazing little hide away. Margo and her husband were extremely sweet and helpful. There house was the perfect size and had all the amenities someone needs in a trip to Austin. They left me a little binder with different things to do in the area. The area was adorable and convenient. Would definitely go back.
577499,19647050,2014-09-15,20993725,Brian,"The neighborhood was perfect and exactly as listed in the Margo's description. We enjoyed the tranquility that the studio was located in and the amenities that Margo and Greg provided. Although we didn't get to interact much with them (because we were busy exploring the city in the rain!), my impression of them are that they are warm, kind, and flexible hosts. I'll definitely want to go back to stay there again. Thanks for making my first experience on airbnb a very pleasant one!

Greg: We'll have coffee to talk about Singapore's architecture when I'm around the area again!"
577499,19949094,2014-09-21,4753986,Marshall,"This little bungalow had everything we needed for our stay in Austin. Margo and her husband were very friendly and accommodating. The location has great walkability to Barton Springs and S Lamar, with easy access to public transit, or if you are a member, there were always car2go cars within 2 blocks. Our favorite part was walking through the neighborhood and looking at all of the beautiful homes. It seems everyone on that side of town takes great pride in their homes, and Margo was no exception! "
577499,20329379,2014-09-28,15352398,Daniel,"Quiet, quaint residential neighborhood.  Hearing the distant trains at night was delightful.  Hosts were very gracious.  They provided a notebook with all the information we needed to stay there as well as many pamphlets and maps regarding sights in the city.  Their library was a pleasure.  They are friendly without being intrusive.  "
577499,20891486,2014-10-07,9096107,Colleen,We were in town for ACL and this cottage fit the bill.  Very close to the festival grounds but in a quiet neighborhood so we could get some sleep. We only saw our host briefly to check if everything was alright. So happy we picked this property. It made our stay in Austin much more pleasant and easy.
577499,21192208,2014-10-13,14016154,Nick,"First time airbnb'er here and my wife and I decided to give it a try as we headed down for Austin City Limits. First, let me say that the previous reviews most certainly helped in picking this place to stay, not to mention it's a 10-15 min walk to Zilker Park (where ACL is at), and bike rentals nearby with an awesome 10 mile bike trail loop that brings you into many different parts of Austin. This place is very close to all the major attractions in Austin (1st/Congress St, Downtown, etc) and I highly recommend getting a bike, however if it's ever too hot or inconvenient, maybe rely on taxi's, uber or lyft to get around, you can also walk to some places too.

As far as the place, this was perfect, private and even though we didn't get to spend much time interfacing with the hosts, they were great having all sorts of suggestions and recommendations for things to do and places to eat in Austin and very organized by having maps, a blog of info, and other printed materials in the binder they provided. The studio is quaint, perfect size for 2, and very clean, comfortable and accommodating to our needs. We'd definitely stay here again!"
577499,21701617,2014-10-22,6724040,Andrew,"TOTAL OASIS!

Margo and Gregory really have a beautiful studio and the guest experience is the best I have witnessed from all of my Airbnb travels. My stay here made my visit with family and friends in Austin that much more relaxing and awesome. 

Nothing about this stay was a guessing game. Everything was better than advertised and the communication channel was always clear and transparent. Very appreciated. 

If you are looking for a quiet, zen-like Austin experience then this is the place to stay! You will be relaxing in a great neighborhood with easy access to Mopac or I-35 and the surrounding Barton Springs, SoCo, Eastside and 78704 attractions. I'm making it a point to check for availability here the next time I travel to Austin."
577499,21845933,2014-10-25,22261374,Patricia,"This was our first time visiting Austin and our first time using airbnb, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Margo and Gregory were happy to accommodate our late arrival from Richmond, VA on a week night. The Sunny Zilker Studio was exactly as described - it was in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance of a coffee shop, market, brewery, and great TexMex! We felt more than comfortable walking to and from a late dinner, and was great to be able to explore the best parts of Austin by foot or bike during the day! The area information and maps that were provided in the studio were very helpful. We will definitely look for availability here first the next time we come to Austin."
577499,21991814,2014-10-27,22664026,Jeff,"GREAT place to crash after a busy day in Austin. This is a beautifully designed and comfortable space, tucked behind a charming bungalow, with a great backyard in a lovely neighborhood. It's a redo of what was probably a garage, with design and storage features by our host Gregory, a talented architect. Everything was just as pictured and as described in the listing: there is a fridge/freezer combo (not too big but more than enough), coffeemaker, some coffee, healthy snacks (including some excellent dark chocolate, and everything else we needed after a busy day visiting family in Austin). Margo and Gregory gave us plenty of privacy but we also got to know them as we all came and went. They are very nice people and perfect hosts. The proximity to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and downtown Austin was just what we were looking for. I would gladly stay again."
577499,22160344,2014-10-31,22618522,Britt,"We rented the guesthouse in leu of a hotel for our sales rep who was taking meetings in Austin. This was our first experience with Airbnb and we were both very pleased. He said the owner was extremely friendly, the space was clean and had all the amenities he needed as well as privacy that you cannot get from a larger hotel. The neighborhood was charming and convenient. Additionally, he requested we book this guesthouse on his returning trips to Austin. "
577499,22356993,2014-11-04,20239976,Michele,"The guest cottage was perfect for our needs. Cozy, clean, and with all of the amenities that we needed. Margo and Gregory were wonderful hosts. We did not get to spend a lot of time chatting, but always felt welcome while at the same time, given plenty of privacy. The recommendations for local restaurants and coffee shop was much appreciated!  We were here for the Formula 1 race, and they were kind enough to leave us a local magazine detailing the race to come. It was above and beyond. "
577499,22641865,2014-11-11,15942122,Terry,"A great spot. Margo and Gregory made it very easy considering we were arriving late on a Wednesday night. The space is well appointed, clean and very accommodating, even the coffee was great. Everything is exactly as pictured in the studio. We enjoyed staying in a neighborhood and feeling more connected to Austin. From the studio, it was nice walk to many spots and easy for Uber to find us when we were aiming for a more far-flung location. Definitely hope to stay there again."
577499,23009760,2014-11-20,8546476,Lizzie,"This place is so wonderful.  The place is nice and private, and it didn't feel like we were intruding on their space at all.  Margo is really sweet and offered to help with anything we needed, really.  The fridge had a couple of apples, some coffee and the most delicious (raw?) milk I'd ever had in it along with a couple of other snacks.  It's a great location and was such a chill interaction.  Highly recommended!"
577499,23748098,2014-12-09,21487859,Shannan,"Unbeatable location and very friendly hosts.  You'll be walking distance to Zilker Park, bars, food and public transportation.  $10 Uber ride to center of downtown.  The studio is simple and clean, nestled in the host's backyard with a great selection of well organized books!  Highly recommended. "
577499,25361323,2015-01-13,5407687,Jonathan,Margo's studio is awesome. We spent a weekend there for the US Cyclocross Nats at nearby Zilker Park. It was a cozy respite from the cold weather outside. Margo was an excellent host and I would highly recommend staying here. The studio is well appointed and we felt right at home. 
577499,25607336,2015-01-20,25144865,Nikki,"So, this was my first Airbnb experience, and it surely won't be my last! It was a very positive experience. They really put together such a cute little space that provides you with all you'd need- AND more. Though I didn't take advantage of it, I was certainly impressed by the little extras they provided! There was creamer in the fridge for coffee, instant oatmeal, tea, ect- there were even 2 large umbrellas by the door. 
The privacy this place provides is great, as it's far enough away from there house. And,most importantly,the bed is the BEST!!! I slept like a rock all three nights! The blanket and pillows were also so cozy and comfy!
If I come back around to Austin, I will surely check the availability with them first! Nice people to deal with, to boot. I have only nice things to say about this!!!"
577499,25753164,2015-01-25,4549528,Julia,"We recently stayed at Margo's place in Austin and it was perfect!! The neighborhood had some of the most beautiful homes, straight from the pages of architectural digest. It rained most of our stay which was a bummer but we were able to walk to the movie theater and they had great umbrellas available for us to use. The room was very private and comfortable and the little extras (coffee, tea, cereal etc), were a wonderful surprise and much appreciated. It was in a great location, walking distance to amazing restaurants and the park! FIVE STARS! "
577499,26054335,2015-02-02,15473165,Scott,"I love this place and Margo is awesome! For me, this location in Austin was perfectly placed. I was easily and quickly to where I needed to be in the city. The studio is very warm and inviting. It is perfectly decorated with a mix of industrial fixtures and lots of wood. It is privately tucked away in a cutely landscaped yard, giving the feel like I was returning to my own home rather than some hotel. I hope to stay here for all my future business trips to Austin!"
577499,26365448,2015-02-10,23122509,Pat,I loved Austin and I loved staying here! The hosts were very helpful and the location was perfect. I would highly recommend staying with Margo and Gregory if you plan to visit Austin.
577499,26586787,2015-02-16,23341853,Jeremy,Cute little place that's in a great neighborhood. The place is well set up and has everything we needed. Beautiful place to wake up in. 
577499,26868912,2015-02-21,19527422,Jess,"This was a perfect location! The hosts were welcoming and the listing was just as described. I usually rent in this area during ACL, but rented this time for fun in the city. It's close to a lot of local restaurants, both walking and driving, and close to the park. The guest studio was comfortable for two of us. I'm sure it would be fine for three as well. "
577499,27194002,2015-02-27,4549105,Hayden,The reservation was canceled 70 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
577499,27199112,2015-02-28,23679402,Jan,"We were very happy with the Sunny Zilker studio.  Our hosts, Margo and Gregory, were helpful, available to answer questions when needed, but not intrusive.  The studio is exactly as advertised, clean, comfortable and convenient to the best that Austin has to offer.  The neighborhood is charming and we were within walking distance to downtown and the Barton Creek greenbelt.  This is a great place to stay and we look forward to returning to Sunny Zilker studio on our next visit to Austin."
577499,27340174,2015-03-02,25695636,Kira,"Margo and her husband made us feel comfortable. Great location.  We appreciated the snacks left in the room. I loved the backyard set up, I only wish the weather would have been nicer so we could've enjoyed what was outside. Thanks again!"
577499,27444100,2015-03-04,2880899,Brett,"These guys have the perfect set up for Airbnb. My father and I stayed with Margo and her family while biking in Austin and we couldn't have found a better place. We had our very own space and we were within walking distance to everything we wanted to see in town. Margo and her husband were great hosts in all aspects, but we especially enjoyed the custom map of recommendations that they put together for us. We had a great stay and would recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Austin."
577499,27585473,2015-03-08,1725325,Christy,"We loved this cozy space, perfectly located in Austin's Zilker neighborhood. Walking distance to downtown (20-30 minutes), but far enough away from the hullabaloo to offer a quiet night's sleep or serene break sitting in the lovely yard. Fantastic on-foot access to funky restaurants (the 1st street or Congress corridors highly recommended, as are the great little eateries and food trucks along Barton Springs Road), coffee shops, the Umlauf sculpture garden, riverfront bike/ walking path, and famous Peter Pan mini golf course.

The space had everything you need (including a very comfortable bed and nice bath/shower with great water pressure and ample hot water) and nothing you didn't. Margo was an exceptional host: Responsive but never intrusive, and clearly someone who cares about her guests' experience (she left us lovely chocolate and chips, plus a binder with maps and other detailed info; she was always quick to answer questions during our stay).

Added bonus: midcentury architecture buffs will appreciate the loving restoration of unique ranch houses in the area. As new construction surges in Austin, it's nice to see efforts to preserve this housing aesthetic.

This was a great little nook in a safe neighborhood, and we'd stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks to Margo and her family for a lovely stay!"
577499,27799932,2015-03-12,1179538,Renee,"We loved our stay in Austin! The weather was not as great as I wished for, but having such a lovely place to stay in such a fun city made it all worth while. Margo and Gregory were fantastic hosts. Their space was prefect for our quick Austin Adventure. They had great information and were easy to connect with. If you choose to stay here you will be glad for sure."
577499,28157995,2015-03-19,14987893,Gavin,"This is a great room in a great location. It is only a short walk to s Lamar where there are frequent bus rides into the city. 
The room has everything you need and is a great place to relax on the sofa or work at the bench with wifi to get all your gear online 

Had a brilliant week here and would definitely use again"
577499,28464198,2015-03-24,5376241,Fred,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.   The detached apartment is in a lovely neighborhood and it's a great location with easy access to the places we like in south Austin and downtown Austin.  The space was comfortable, cozy, and quiet.  It's kept very nicely and we appreciated the thoughtful snacks that were provided (coffee, chips, chocolate, etc).  It's a real nice place to stay."
577499,28783736,2015-03-30,18489546,Alan,Margo and Gregory were extremely polite and helpful. Really nice neighborhood (very walkable) near Barton Springs and the Barton Springs trail with easy access to the rest of the city.
577499,29168922,2015-04-05,25709537,Kristen,We enjoyed staying at this guest house! It was well big enough for two and we were quiet comfortable. The bed provided us a great night's sleep and I particularly enjoyed the backyard and tree swing! The family is kind and quiet. The WIFI is fast and the kitchen amenities were perfect to throw together breakfast and snacks. 
577499,29466209,2015-04-07,952564,Brett,"Fantastic place! Comfortable and with nice perks. The location was perfect, with an easy walk to S. Lamar for dinner, drinks, and a movie."

577499,29728466,2015-04-12,12264383,Blenda,"We had a great time in Austin. The quiet, lovely neighborhood was a welcome retreat from all the fun of a wedding. Austin Java was a treat we walked to.  The bed was comfortable, the space a bit small but it is a garage converted into a guest house. Margo was a good host especially considering the dark chocolate that was there upon our arrival.  Thanks, Margo"
577499,29936976,2015-04-14,1873893,Paul,"Margo was a great host, her place was beautiful furnished and designed with care. There was no issue at all during the trip and the location was absolutely ideal, very close to the green belt where we spent some time with friends. "
577499,30188273,2015-04-19,26324557,Steen,"Margo and Greg were both very welcoming and helpful. They provided some great recommendations for area attractions and provided a helpful map that highlighted some of the greats spots in Austin. 

The place was well located, clean and central to all that Austin has to offer. Highly recommended. "
577499,30497539,2015-04-23,25590563,Brandon,"Margo was very welcoming.  She had snacks and mini-fridge set up with water.  She had a written guide with local recommended places to go as well as recommendations to use the facilities (i.e. like leaving the outside light on if coming back after dark to see the key hole).

We would stay with them again in Austin."
577499,30646187,2015-04-25,245428,Hanse,"This snug studio is well situated for exploring Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, Town Lake and S Lamar, all within walking distance. The studio was quiet and clean, and the hosts helpful from arrival to departure. There are outlets galore for charging up as well as a small fridge."
577499,30855021,2015-04-28,20088286,Roger,"This is a very nice studio apartment in a very nice neighborhood close to downtown and within walking distance of excellent restaurants and night life on South Lamar. We were in town for the Food and Wine Festival at the Auditorium Shores and were able to walk and ride rented bikes to the event. Margo is easy to communicate with. She makes check in and check out easy. She and Gregory have good suggestions for local food and activities. The Studio is very nice, the queen bed is comfortable. There is a microwave, kettle and coffee maker.  Great place, great hosts!"
577499,31751425,2015-05-09,19976608,John,Fantastic spot!  Our hosts were great and the location was hard to beat. A short walk to a bike share station and easy access to lots of Austin. Thank you!

577499,33540323,2015-05-29,31516804,Charles,"  Everything was just as described and Margo and Gregory made sure everything was ready when I arrived. Given the recent torrential rains Austin experienced, I know they went the extra mile to make certain everything was ready. The studio was perfect - simple and quiet. I really liked sitting in the garden to have my morning coffee! The neighborhood was peaceful and I took a nice walk around in the evenings. I think the Uber fare to downtown was about $7. Great location for what I needed.  Definitely would stay there again!"
577499,34004375,2015-06-03,7745419,Jessica,This is the perfect spot to stay in Austin! Margo warmly greeted us and checking in and out was flawless. I'd recommend this place and would love to stay here again!

577499,35669383,2015-06-21,32789731,Tessa,"We had a great stay at Margo's airbnb, the place was cute and she was very accommodating. Lots of conveniences- shampoo, bug spray, mini fridge, an umbrella, lots of books. Left snacks which was nice, and loved the map left with suggestions for places to go. Very easy walk to a lot of the places we wanted to see- Zilker Park, Whichcraft bottle shop, etc. Everything else was a quick Uber ride away. "
577499,36042353,2015-06-24,35037911,Neal,"We barely saw the hosts, but they had provided some snacks and materials with things to do in Austin. The neighborhood is full of charming cottages, trees and birds. The heavy rains (thank you for the use of your umbrella) made the cottage damp - especially the concrete floor - and the de-humidifier was too loud to run when we were there. The window air conditioner is also quite loud and the platform bed is quite firm.  "
577499,36534323,2015-06-29,24209057,Naomi,"We has a great time during our trip, the location was phenomenal!

577499,39398646,2015-07-23,19024302,Charlie,An absolute gem! A beautiful self contained garden flat with everything we could possibly need. Fantastic location and incredibly close to Barton Springs pool.
577499,39961438,2015-07-27,29398324,Jan,"When we arrived, Margo had a book available with everything we needed to know about our stay, even where the nearest grocery store was located should we need one. Books, DVDS, tea, dark chocolate and even a beach towel for a quick plunge into the waters of nearby Barton Springs were provided. Beautiful neighborhood and only minutes away from where our daughter's apartment is located. Secluded and quiet. Great location. We would recommend this studio to anyone who wants to be close to so much of what we love about Austin. Jan and Cort"
577499,40938723,2015-08-03,177050,Wendy And John,The studio is in a great neighborhood and decorated beautifully. We were able to walk to barton springs pool and to eat at multiple nice restaurants on south lamar. Also very close to town lake which is great for biking around. It has a nice little patio outside and is very (website hidden) worked fine which is very important for Austin summer. Margo was super helpful and answered my many questions with messages. Overall very happy with our stay!
577499,43107276,2015-08-17,16392195,Jeff,"We loved everything about our stay at Gregory and Margo's guest house.  They were awesome hosts who were really helpful when we needed it with tips about the area (Gregory even got us a volleyball), but also gave us plenty of privacy. The neighborhood is situated right near Zilker Park and it's a quick walk to Barton Springs, kayaking, volleyball courts, etc, etc.  Plus you're close to downtown, 6th Street, Rainey Street, Wholefoods.. I could go on.  Highly recommended."
577499,43655770,2015-08-21,38928038,Scott,"The studio was perfect for our stay in Austin. It's in a great location that puts you close to downtown and some fantastic places to eat. We loved how close it was to Barton springs, the water was great on those hot Texas days. Margo and her husband were fantastic hosts. They helped us with any questions we had about the area and were always available if needed. Their studio has everything you need for a great stay in Austin and allows you when you're ready to get out of the hustle of the city and wind down for the evening. High recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin in the near future. "
577499,45277417,2015-09-01,39179766,Justin,"Loved staying here! Hosts were kind and friendly and the place could not be in a better location. It's a very short walk to lots of food trucks, coffee shop, brewery, etc. Great little getaway for our stay in Austin. "

I can't recommend Austin in September (HOT and HUMID), but it was great to come home to a clean studio and real bed. The dehumidifier and air conditioner were great. Also, it was easy to walk to the convention center (there is a great river walk). Thanks for a great stay."

They provide everything you need for your stay and even left us some nice completely unexpected perks (coffee, cream, potato chips and chocolate!).  

We highly recommend their studio and hope to stay here again on future trips!

They provided lots of info about the area and had plenty of suggestions for things to do and see, which was awesome. The apartment was great, and outfitted with everything could possibly need. It was within walking (or biking!) distance of everywhere I wanted to go, and for everything else there is easily accessible public transit. Lots of great food nearby too! I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
577499,49757643,2015-10-06,16805759,Brandon,"Great location only a 10 minute walk to Zilker Park. We stayed here for Austin City Limits and the short walk after a long day was awesome. Good place to crash and relax, and the lack of fancy big screens and over the top luxuries was actually a nice thing. "
577499,50611462,2015-10-13,19602606,Michelle,"Margo and her husband were gracious hosts. They greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel very welcome.

The studio was just as described, and situated in their lovely yard. Thanks for a wonderful escape!"
577499,51132616,2015-10-18,42279246,Shane,Margo and Gregory were terrific hosts.  Property was as described.  Had a great stay in a wonderful neighborhood.  Would definitely recommend the property. 
577499,51430154,2015-10-20,20577197,Dan,"I hate to write a review on this place because I want to keep it a secret all to myself! The Sunny Zilker Neighborhood Studio is just as advertised and better. Very conveniently located, the Owners are welcoming and friendly. I would stay here again."
577499,51834001,2015-10-24,1232812,Brian And Meredith,"Margo was wonderfully responsive and flexible with our arrival and departure. It made everything very easy! The space is cute! We especially loved the serene little patio out the front door, helpful welcome letter and yummy snacks! The location is perfect!! It is so convenient and close to everything: delicious restaurants, coffee shops, and of course Zilker park and many outdoor activities. The neighborhood is the best!"
577499,52213228,2015-10-27,40036478,Graham,Great house in a fantastic neighborhood. Hosts were great and the house had everything we needed. Location is near a ton of great food options and close to downtown. I will be back again. Thanks

We would recommend this without reservation."

The location was great, walking distance to Zilker park, downtown and other attractions. The cute little house was in a really nice neighborhood and we had everything we needed. Brian was easy to contact for any questions we had and accommodated for any of our requests."
5317993,28136195,2015-03-18,2513367,Albrecht,"Lola was an extremely hospitable host who went out of her way in making her guests feel welcome. A bright clean room, lots of toiletry items, a filling breakfast (and even yummy tacos as an extra one day!), and she was always asking if there was anything else she could provide. Lola is really such a warm hearted person—ready to chat when you feel like it, and ready to give you your privacy when you need it. I totally agree with what my fellow SXSW guests have written about her place. And Iggy was the most amazing dog I've met, he greets you as if you have been best friends for ages (even though ""he has never met a stranger"" acc. to Lola); he loves to socialize, but if you have other things to do, he will stay quiet on his sofa. I think that says something about Lola's place in general. Thank you so much, Lola!!"
5317993,28330048,2015-03-22,6482589,Amanda,"Lola was hands down the best host I've ever had. She was thoughtful, understanding and great at communicating, not to mention a lovely person. Every day, Lola went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable, well fed! or had any special requests. The house was exactly as pictured, if not better, and she left the rooms fully stocked with items every traveler needs (and forgets). The location was great, and I made it downtown in 5 minutes by car everyday. The house was super clean, cozy and spacious. I had a lot of privacy, but when I wanted to chat, Lola (and her very adorable dog, Iggy) were available. Lola provided restaurant suggestions, transportation routes and travel books about Austin that were extremely helpful to me. I truthfully felt so at home. I am an avid traveler, extremely picky and have stayed at many Airbnbs before, but I can tell you that Lola and her home truly gave me the best memories and experiences that I will never forget. I give Lola & her house 12 stars out of 10. This is a must-stay Airbnb stop and anyone is lucky to stay at this wonderful Austin home! I live in New York, but already miss this place. I will be back soon! Thank you so much, Lola!"
5317993,31130578,2015-05-02,5267525,Alejandra,"Lola was a great host!!! she has the place extremely clean and in a nice  neighborhhod. Morning coffee and treats where always available and fresh. Lola has all the info you need to have the best experience in Austin, she is great in giving directions and is always ready to help. I will be coming back soon and recommend her 1,000%! Cheers Ale"
5317993,31405477,2015-05-04,18946614,Meg,"My first trip to Austin was memorable and Lola (plus pooch, Iggy) were a big reason why: 
creating a warm, inviting environment with a spacious and elegant room, as well as great conversations. Lola is a 35-year resident of Austin and she's knowledgable and insightful when it comes to the city. Check out her great recommendations, too. 
Lola goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Will definitely return the next time I'm in Austin. "
5317993,31685153,2015-05-08,32703396,Kristin,"What an idyllic experience! Lola anticipated my every need and had everything perfectly laid out for me. She and her spry dachshund, Iggy, were so welcoming. I mentioned I wanted to do a bit of work at coffee shops, and she even set out a magazine about local coffee shops. For anyone who will be renting a car, I highly recommend this. "
5317993,32034876,2015-05-12,32865795,Lou,"My first time with air bnb might've been a unicorn. Lola was a lifesaver and an absolute delight! When my original lodging fell through lola helped me out at the last minute. She was so warm and welcoming and generous with her home. She even accommodated a friend who was rained out at a festival campsite. You absolutely feel at home in the space, not to mention the room itself was incredibly cozy. Thank you lola! If I make it back to Austin hope we meet again!"
5317993,32920906,2015-05-23,19630803,Josh,"Lola is absolutely the BEST host I have ever had on Airbnb. She was so thoughtful, easy to work with and just really cared about my stay in her wonderful home. She was kind enough to take me on a tour around the local restaurants to introduce me to Austin. The room was absolutely wonderful and very accommodating for my stay. Also, the proximity to downtown Austin is great! Now, where to start with her little pup, Iggy. I LOVE Iggy. He's the best little dog ever. Upon my arrival, they both greeted me at the door and Iggy's tail wouldn't stop wagging. He is simply the cutest and such a sweet dog. I will 100% be staying with Lola again once I have another trip to Austin. I recommend you stay with Lola for your trip. You won't regret it and you'll make two lifelong friends in Lola and Iggy!

"
5317993,33295559,2015-05-26,19601418,Steph,"Lola was fantastic!! Very sweet and acommodating. She had a lot of breakfast options and the room/house was spotless. She was a joy to talk to during the rainy weather, and even came out to see the bats of Austin! "
5317993,33869669,2015-06-01,34225517,Autumn,"I have only the utmost praise for Lola and her accommodations, and highly recommend you stay with her!  his was my first Airbnb experience and it was absolutely lovely.  Lola is incredibly welcoming and easily makes you feel comfortable in her home.  She does allow for the stay to be whatever you would like it to be - she can be a part of it, or leave you be.  

The room is exactly as it is represented in the picture...and more.  The bed (brand new) is more comfortable than any hotel bed I've every slept in.  The bedroom, bathroom and rest of the common areas are very clean, and Lola has thought of so many details to make your stay even better than you could imagine.  Staying in her home is more like staying in a really nice bed and breakfast.

My favorite details: the comfort of the bed (SERIOUSLY); her breakfast spread has so many options; how she leaves a marked space in the fridge for you to leave food (such as if you have left overs from a meal); how she had neatly written information in the bedroom that anyone would need/like to know so it is easy for you to refer to without having to bother her (such as wifi password and recommendations around town); the SEVERAL Austin related magazines and books she leaves in the common areas for you to peruse; the private bathroom associated with this room; the baskets in the bedroom and bathroom that contain things you may have forgotten and need, such as an umbrella, shampoo, makeup remover or candy; and lastly Iggy, her dog.  He is adorable, fun to play with, and quiet.  

Overall, I had the best experience I could possibly have had while visiting Austin, and staying in Lola's home is one of the biggest reasons why.  I cannot recommend her enough and know that I've come away from my vacation with a new friend. "
5317993,34366693,2015-06-07,15009318,Geoffrey,"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful hostess. "
5317993,34879804,2015-06-13,31365832,Randall,"Everything was perfect! The host should be a superhost.  I was gone a lot, but I felt at home whenever I was there.  All of Lola's recommendations were perfect.  Also the bed in the front bedroom was amazing.  "
5317993,35346996,2015-06-17,12684468,Jennie,Lola was a perfect hostess - a warm and accommodating guide as well!  The room is a quiet delight and smack Dan in the middle of everywhere you want to go.  Lola was even gracious and patient with a small misunderstanding.  I would not hesitate to recommend her or her place to anyone who is Austin-bound!
5317993,35854204,2015-06-22,414338,Howard,"Lola really, truly goes out of her way to make guests feel welcome and to help them get oriented in Austin. Her cute room is just as advertised, toward the front of the house for easy ingress/egress and with its own bathroom. Lola is a warm and personable person, as friendly or hands-off as you seem to want. She made plenty of space in her fridge for our restaurant leftovers. Her house is not far from downtown, but you'll probably want to Uber it since parking there can be a challenge. But it's also not far from more north-oriented destinations, like Anderson Lane or the Domain, for shopping and eating."
5317993,36492293,2015-06-28,36753698,Kevin,"Thank you for an amazing experience!  Lola was very responsive and setting up to check in was a breeze.  Everything was exactly as stated on the listing, very clean, fresh smelling, and the stay surpassed all of my expectations.  I very much enjoyed my first airbnb adventure!"
5317993,37386571,2015-07-06,36049272,John,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great!  Lola is a wonderful host and she really goes out of her way to make sure that her guests have the best experience while they visit Austin.  She gave some great tips on places to check out while I was there.  She even offered a bunch of breakfast options including some delicious homemade muffins.  The entire house was kept very clean and organized, and it looked exactly like the pictures.  Her dog Iggy was really sweet too and always ran up to greet me whenever I would get back.  I would definitely stay at Lola's house again if I end up back at Austin and I highly recommend her Airbnb for anyone looking for a quiet, personal place to stay that feels like a second home."
5317993,38042332,2015-07-12,32260538,Jorge,"Lola was an excellent host, she had things ready for me when I arrived, I had a private bathroom, and full access to the kitchen. She made sure there was plenty of food for breakfast. The room was as advertised, nice, comfortable and pleasant. She is very friendly but also very respectful of your own space. I totally recommend this room. The neighborhood is quiet and close to shopping centers and restaurants. Iggy the dog will be your best friend from the moment he meets you, he is very obedient and easy to play with or send away."
5317993,39245931,2015-07-21,38564131,Gabriel,"Lola is an amazing host! The room is exactly as described if not better. Clean, cool on a very warm Texas summer day and with a very comfortable bed! The location is nice and close to downtown, an Uber averages just $8 but you can also take the bus if you wish. Lola did everything to make sure I felt like home, definitely recommend her!"
5317993,39897093,2015-07-26,25811424,Jason,Our stay with Lola was a real treat. She was so warm and friendly and made sure we had everything we could possibly need! She is a precious lady with a precious home. My husband and I would highly recommend anyone stay here. Thanks Lola for for being an outstanding host!
5317993,41440349,2015-08-07,38710413,Serena,"It was a great experience staying here. Lola is a really sweet host – she willingly went the extra mile for me so many times. She made me feel comfortable and at home almost immediately. We engaged in many inspiring conversations, but you can definitely choose to have your own privacy in the room. The house was clean and beautifully decorated. There was always an array of breakfast options and Austin-related magazines to read to learn more about the city. The neighbourhood can get really dark at night, but that should be no problem if driving or riding cabs. I mainly used the bus to get around, and managed to get to north Austin and downtown with ease."
5317993,44356108,2015-08-25,40385067,Jim,"Lola makes you feel welcome the minute you enter the door.  The room is well appointed and she goes over the living spaces and shows you all the amenities.  I have to say the listing was much more than I expected.  It was comfortable, clean and convenient to the downtown area.  The neighborhood is a mature middle class residential area."
5317993,44781673,2015-08-29,22438395,Iztza,"Lola es muy amable, siempre atenta a lo que necesitamos. La casa esta limpia, la cama es muy comoda. La ubicación es perfecta, muy cerca de la universidad de Texas y el dowtown."
5317993,46043204,2015-09-07,42509581,Kexin,"Lola is really friendly. She offered great help and made me feel warm. The decorations of her house are really nice. Iggy (her dog) is very smart and understands people. Well of course, it cannot understand Chinese lol. Iggy is not bilingual yet but really, he behaves well! Lola has lots of stories to tell and I enjoy my time talking with her. "
5317993,46834396,2015-09-13,7936829,Anna,"Perfect room with a private bathroom and a breakfast in a very cozy and sweet house in a calm, quiet neighborhood. Lola is a great host. I had a pretty intense schedule, and I survived only because of Lola's help, advice and support. I felt very welcomed and would love to come back. "
5317993,47811198,2015-09-21,43461621,Pamela,Lola made me feel welcome from my very first contact.  The homey accommodations were presented accurately and I was really pleased with everything.  Lola provided detailed information in preparation for my stay and upon arrival I had a wealth of information available to me about area activities.  She provided a variety of toiletries and other necessities.  Great selection of breakfast food.  I enjoyed the company of her dog Iggy.  A perfect experience!
5317993,48446022,2015-09-26,30661856,Audrey,"My stay at Lola’s lovely home was a delightful treat in all regards! Starting with our first email exchange and continuing throughout my visit, she was very warm and welcoming. The guest bedroom and private bathroom were beautifully decorated and exceptionally comfortable – I slept well. Lola also thoughtfully provided baskets of miscellaneous sundries, which was well beyond what I expected. It was a perfect experience, and I hope to stay with Lola again on my future visits to Austin. "
5317993,49625904,2015-10-05,36805194,Connie,"My experience at Lola's was amazing! I felt like I was at home. Lola is the sweetest host and was very hospitable. Staying at her home was delightful. Additionally, I enjoyed the company of her awesome dog Iggy! This was my first time in Austin and Lola was the best host! I would definitely love to come back :) "
5317993,51109796,2015-10-18,15244458,Mark,"Lola's a great host and the room is exactly as described and pictured. Very quiet, nice clean bathroom, amenities like soap, toothbrush, etc if you forgot something, and even a bowl of chocolates to nibble from.  There's a good power strip for folks like me who travel with multiple computers, the WiFi is fast, the dog is charming. The buffet restaurant down at the end of the street is surprisingly good and inexpensive if you just want a quick easy bite, or you can walk a bit farther north to find a steakhouse or Creole food. To the south there's a good French place for breakfast, an interesting kebab joint that had good eats, and an allegedly-awesome taco place that I didn't get a chance to try. Easy access via the bus if you don't want to rent a car. I got around fine on foot."
5317993,51798894,2015-10-24,22326357,Emily,"Lola was a fantastic host, providing everything imaginable to make us feel at home, even a spare umbrella to use in case we didn't have one (and it was a very rainy time in Austin!) Her kindness is evident, and her dog Iggy is very sweet as well."
5317993,51963503,2015-10-25,46000752,Greg,"Lola did a fantastic job making us feel welcome in her home.  She had our room prepared for us, complete with extra pillows, literature on Austin and a welcome basket with all kinds of amenities in it, should we need them.  She had a similar basket in the bathroom and showed us all around the house (she even had a shelf in the refrigerator cleared for us!).  The house was in a perfect location, making downtown Austin very accessible in a matter of minutes.  She was also very close to stores like Wal*Mart, Target and restaurants.  On top of that, the neighborhood seemed quiet and safe.

Lola was extremely welcoming and gracious, genuinely interested in making our experience a great one (despite the pouring rain all weekend).  She made our stay far comfier than any hotel has, and she did it with a personal touch that no hotel has ever given us.  For my first time using AirBnB, this worked out super well.

I would definitely recommend her to any prospective travelers if you're looking for somewhere comfortable in Austin.  She truly tries to make you feel at home, and I'm so glad we made the decision to stay at her house."
8427205,50669672,2015-10-13,550992,Luna,"We had a great stay at Amanda's quirky, stylish home. The area is quiet but a quick Uber or drive to restaurants and bars in South Congress and downtown Austin. Amanda was a breeze to communicate with. Would stay again!"
2918270,29876235,2015-04-13,30231813,Jeff,"The place was bigger than it looked in the pictures and was furnished with comfortable furniture and cable tv.  Great location as well.  There was only one parking pass when we got there instead of two and we never received the second one, but nobody was towed out of the parking area.  Overall a very good stay and a place I would recommend.  "
2918270,31885888,2015-05-11,2199698,Charles,This apartment was great. Very clean and had all of the neccessary toiletries we needed. Also a great location near - short uber ride from everything. The only issue was that we couldn't get the Wifi and TV/Cable to work properly.
3798024,27495506,2015-03-06,24407647,Annie,"Louie was very accommodating to my incontinent time schedule for check it, and that was great!!  The area was just what I was looking for ..quiet, convenient to shops, eateries and work.  Louie was very informative regarding the surrounding area and gave some great recommendations. I truly enjoyed my stay and can't wait to go back when I visit Austin. "
3798024,37583036,2015-07-08,8857453,Suzanne,"The apartment was just as described and more.  It was even more spacious than I thought it would be from the pictures, and included all the amenities anyone would want.  The kitchen is very modern and clean, and came fully stocked with a multitude of small appliances plus a stovetop, dishwasher, two half-sized fridges, microwave, and a large pantry.  There was also a good-size dining table that comfortably seated four (or more) people.  The bathroom was a delight as well, with plenty of space, a large sink and a nice hot shower.  The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and came with lots of extra pillows and blankets.  As an extra benefit, there was lots of light from both a sliding glass door and several large windows. The blinds opened from the top and bottom so you could have both privacy and natural light, as you wanted.  The apartment felt like a welcome retreat from the busy city because it's on the second floor (above the garage) with trees all around and is situated in a quiet, residential neighborhood.  Yet, it was only a few blocks away from several main streets so access to downtown and other parts of Austin was very convenient.  I didn't get a chance to meet Louie in person because she was out of town during my stay, but we talked by phone before I arrived and she encouraged me to contact her during my stay if I needed anything.  I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Austin.  "
3798024,45267339,2015-09-01,2861782,Peggy,Louie was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away.
1935282,9475561,2013-12-30,4259788,Taylor,"My girlfriend and I were the first guests to enjoy the new space, and it was great!  Very interesting little cabin that is perfectly small.  Everything we need was there, and it was a comfortable place.  Also was a great location.  We were able to ride our bikes to get coffee and brunch.

We also got to meet Brad, who was a great host(we found a bottle of wine upon our arrival), and very nice.

Would definitely stay again.

Thanks Brad"
1935282,9563400,2014-01-02,279821,Jonathan,"Brad's place was a perfect getaway. The cabin is delightfully remodeled, and the hot tub was perfect. Super nice guy and very accommodating. Would recommend the space to anybody!"
1935282,10190037,2014-02-04,11341298,Marie,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1935282,10705365,2014-03-03,9384076,Jeffrey And Kimberly,"Great place to stay, wonderfully decorated and with a very nice hot tub.  We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back."
1935282,10963651,2014-03-15,395837,Kwasi,"With all the hassle of trying to find housing during SXSW, I was quite delighted to find Brad's place at a reasonable price.  As he states, the pictures really don't do the space justice.  It's a beautiful, minimal decorated cottage with a lot of character and conveniently located near the rail so getting downtown was simple.  Brad was also a great host -- friendly, very accommodating, and communicative.  I would highly recommend.  "
1935282,11006003,2014-03-17,11571175,Kamie,"My two friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brad's cottage; it was the perfect retreat after all the hustle and bustle of SXSW. The cottage was very clean and had every amenity we could've needed, we only wish we could've stayed longer and enjoyed the backyard as well! Brad was great at communicating with us during the entire process and ensured everything was ready for our stay. "
1935282,11702775,2014-04-12,12295783,Tyler,"The loft was everything it was pictured to be. It was in a quiet, convenient area of town. Brad was very accommodating and quick with communication. I absolutely recommend this loft for a place to stay!"
1935282,11766389,2014-04-14,13665642,Chris,What a neat little place!  Very convenient to the light rail and within walking distance of some good coffee shops and restaurants.  Also just a cool place to chill.  Spiral staircase - need I say more?
1935282,12661590,2014-05-07,2280057,Alison,"Brad's cottage was awesome!  It's clear that this little cottage was a labor of love and it definitely shows.  Super clean, cute, super comfy bed, and perfect size.  On street parking was easy and completely hassle free.  Don't think we ever had to park anywhere that wasn't directly in front of the house.  If you're visiting Austin, definitely recommend having a car at your disposal.  It's not the easiest city to get around without a car and you will not find a taxi just waiting out on the main street.  Also, Austin doesn't allow Uber, Lyft, etc. Public transit is very close and accessible but Austin is really spread out and it's easier to just use a car or bike.  That being said, there's great places to eat on Manor Rd and down the street is a nice coffee shop called Bennu and Austin Daily Press has amazing sandwiches.

Lastly, Brad was super responsive and really nice/accommodating.  Some airbnb's are corporately owned and operated rentals and can be really pushy and not very service oriented; this is definitely not the case with Brad.   Brad was perfectly accommodating without being overbearing. Next time we're in Austin, would love to stay in Brad's cottage again!"
1935282,12841071,2014-05-12,13468742,Kip,We could not have been happier with our stay at Brad's cottage.  The house was centrally located and we were shocked at how little driving we had to do to do all the things we wanted to do.  The house was gorgeous with all woodwork and the spiral staircase.  Brad was very attentive to any need yet unobtrusive.  We had just worked so hard to have a wedding in our home and Brad's cottage provided a wonderful escape.  Has us wanting to get back to Austin!  Love the mailbox.
1935282,13148193,2014-05-20,2432727,Mellissa,"Brad's cottage was an awesome place to stay. It's a cute, revamped little house that's a lot bigger in person than appears through photos (and Brad has redone it all himself which I thought was really cool). It has a fridge, gas stove, all needed dishes, cutting board, utensils and AC which was REALLY nice to have in the Austin heat! There's a radio for your use, a TV and plenty of fresh towels in the bathroom. 

The cottage/loft is about a 10-15 minute cab ride from the Austin airport and only a 5-10 minute ride to downtown from the cottage. There's a light rail station right across the street which will take you to the desirable East 6th Street near downtown (lots of restaurants, bars, music for people who like alternative, laid back neighborhoods, which I do). There's also a couple buses that you can catch near the corner of Brad's street. 

The downstairs bed was really comfy. I didn't stay upstairs in the cool loft bed which I regret now - so make sure you spend a night up there. 

Brad was super friendly and helpful about the different neighborhoods and gave me tips on music venues to check out. I also enjoyed meeting his dog Moses. I'd totally stay at Brad's again. 

"
1935282,13938912,2014-06-08,3436150,Jacquelyn,"It was a great place to stay. We hit up the X games last minute and we're not disappointed with our stay. Great linens, and ac worked excellent in the Texas heat."
1935282,14329624,2014-06-16,2801469,Elizabeth,Love the place ! Cute n perfect spot in Austin ! Close to everything ! The bed and pillows feel like heaven didn't miss my bed ! Will definitely coming back for my next stay in Austin ! Thank you again !  
1935282,15290888,2014-07-06,15353655,Jessica,"This loft was absolutely perfect for two people! My boyfriend and I walked in and were amazed at all the beautiful woodwork, and perfectly cozy atmosphere. East Austin has lots of cool shops and eateries as well, so it was nice to be within driving distance of all of those. Would absolutely stay here again! "
1935282,15381753,2014-07-07,17617632,Cris,"We definitely loved this little house in Austin. We were only here for a short trip to visit a friend but it was a great location. Definitely suggest hitting up Licha's Cantina. Some of the best Mexican food I've had. Great place for a date during our little trip. The bed was so comfortable here and we had tea to choose from for some hot tea. Loved the decor and the simplicity of the interior. Didn't see the hot tub but heard about it through the other reviews. If we come back, we'll definitely want to stay longer. "
1935282,15600991,2014-07-12,794748,Chip,"Great spot in an awesome location. You can tell Brad put heart and soul into the place - all done by him with amazing little flourishes. A great, great spot to explore Austin - bus line just a block away, awesome restaurants a few blocks away, easy access to the airport. The house is small but very functional and has a feel you can't beat. Highly recommended. Thanks Brad! "
1935282,16967242,2014-08-04,6531950,Jae,"I only stayed in Brad's cottage for one night and he was very accommodating with my last-minute reservation.  The space is very big and pretty, with lots of wood finishes and cool furniture.  He even had some oldies tunes playing when we arrived!  The East Austin location was both convenient and quiet.  It was nice and clean with kitchen supplies and a TV.  Would certainly stay here again!"
1935282,17418818,2014-08-11,19536341,Jon,"Great place, great location.  Brad had property in excellent condition and we had an awesome time in this property.  Great for a stay in Austin."
1935282,19863238,2014-09-19,5422056,Robbie,"Cool place and location. Check out the gas station down the street, great beer selection. "
1935282,20059026,2014-09-22,13002563,Melissa,This cottage is so gorgeous that I didn't want to leave it.  Brad has a beautiful set up and it is really close to downtown and Anderson Square. Brad was especially helpful when I got in a car accident near downtown.  He helped me find a trustworthy auto shop that was open on a Saturday.  The bed is super comfortable and the entire place feels really spacious. It's a perfect place to just stay the night at or the have a weekend in.  Super close to public transit which I highly recommend using if you want to go downtown.
1935282,20374055,2014-09-28,4396272,Thomas,"My girlfriend & I rented Brad's secondary home for 4 days in September of 2014. 
The house was conveniently located 15 minutes away from the airport (by car) and is a 10 minute drive to the heart of Austin, TX. There is a train station down the street from Brad's home which takes you downtown as well, but my girlfriend & I rented a car to get around town. I strongly recommend renting a car in Austin if you plan to see all of the different parts of the city. 

As for the house, it was clean, quiet, and very comfortable for a couple and/or small family. The bed was very comfortable and the house was well-decorated and had all of the basic amenities we needed during our short vacation. 

Also, be sure to check out the small leather-bound guest book inside the house. Past guests (including myself) have left lots of fun tips of things to do/see/touch while you're visiting Austin. 

I will definitely stay at Brad's again next time I am in Austin. "
1935282,20634344,2014-10-02,21887088,Drew,Loved the place. We had such a great time in ATX and a lot had to do with the location and lodging. Great area. Wonderful cozy cabin feel in the city. Great amenities. Shower was amazing. Washed the day away! 
1935282,20954469,2014-10-08,20563718,Josh,"This place was super cool.  Small cottage in a quiet neighborhood, only a few miles from Congress St.  Super clean, comfortable bed, and cold A/C.  The coffee was a nice touch too.  Brad was super helpful, and accommodating.   Would definitely stay here again."
1935282,21195007,2014-10-13,5265423,Vanessa,The place was great and a wonderful place to stay when we were in town for ACL. It was super cozy and we loved the feel. Great location and a great deal. We would love to stay here again!
1935282,21600252,2014-10-20,13285486,Katy,"My husband & I stayed at Brad's cottage for a week in October. Brad did an amazing job with the layout and style of the cottage. It's comfortable, cozy and has all the amenities we needed to make it feel like home. Brad is super friendly and knowledgeable of the neighborhood and had some great recommendations for restaurants, grocery & fun.

The location of the cottage is perfect. We were able to take the train into downtown & East 6th Street, walk to all the shops & restaurants on Manor Street as well as take an inexpensive ride to South Congress, Rainey Street and Lamar Street. 

We loved Brad's cottage and hope to stay here next time we are in Austin. "
1935282,21952089,2014-10-27,20942499,Adriana,We had a great time! The cottage was comfortable and beautiful! Great location. Brad was very responsive and friendly. 
1935282,22056788,2014-10-28,5422056,Robbie,Great
1935282,22354661,2014-11-04,18060464,Phillip,"My wife and I visited Austin for five nights during the F1 USGP and this BnB was an excellent match for us.  The small house has been remodeled and reflects the style and charm of the neighborhood and includes all modern conveniences and amenities.  We felt safe, secure and comfortable during our entire stay.  The location provides easy access to Texas State Highway 130 for a fast drive south to Circuit of the Americas.  And MLK or 12th street are easy paths to the music and restaurants in Downtown.  We look forward to returning next year.  "
1935282,22495020,2014-11-08,18609673,Peter,"We very much enjoyed our stay at Brad's place in Austin. We found going just a few blocks in any direction had excellent food options and although it is very close to UT, it certainly didn't feel like we were staying in a college town. Although Brad was out of town during our stay, he was very helpful with recommendations and was very quick to get respond to my questions. Thanks again, Brad."
1935282,22532214,2014-11-09,22102264,Lesli,"This cozy, quiet, serene spot is just minutes from downtown yet you feel like you're out in the country. My one night here was certainly not long enough and I look forward to a return stay. Thanks for a real treat. "
1935282,23650321,2014-12-07,23915639,Jess," Great place, great host.  Enjoyed my stay and would stay again. "
1935282,25047962,2015-01-05,3459413,Sara,"Brad's house was so warm, comfortable, and inviting.  It was quite cold while we were visiting, so we pretended that this cottage was actually a ski lodge, given it's warm wood interior.  Brad's communication was quick and friendly.  The house is a 4 minute walk to the light rail and is smack in the middle of a bunch of different bus lines, so getting into downtown isn't all that tough.  Take the 10 minute walk to Manor Rd. for Thunderbird Coffee House, In.gredients, and Dai Due.  There's another double bed in the loft, so this house would have been perfect for 4 guests if we had more folks with us.  "
1935282,25583857,2015-01-19,24565688,Lindsay,"Brad's cozy cottage was just that! Squeaky floors, perfect lighting to set whatever mood your in, tiny nook upstairs for extra guests or a fun little movie watching experience with your honey. The location is far enough removed from the hustle and bustle of the South Congress madness but still near a hub of the hip Austin everyone comes to enjoy. Check the leather bound book for past more personable air bnb-er reviews and tips. Would and will stay at brads place again. "
1935282,26235447,2015-02-07,5336205,Haley,"My friend and I had a great experience at Brad's lovely cottage in Austin. The place was just as described -- cozy and well-appointed with everything you need for a very comfortable visit. It's very close to all of the sites (if you have a car) and even closer to the airport than we initially thought. All in all, a great place from which to explore all that Austin has to offer. I would definitely stay there again. "
1935282,26707745,2015-02-17,5149512,Devan,This cottage exceeded expectations.  It was beautiful with wonderful wood finishes throughout. Real warm and cozy. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and highly recommended for anyone looking to stay near Austin. 
1935282,27309261,2015-03-01,20441255,Amber,"Nicholle and Brad were incredibly accommodating. Our reservation at another location had been cancelled at the last minute by our host, and Brad was quick to respond and get us set up with a new reservation at his place. The cabin is lovely--lots of handmade woodwork and special Austin touches in a safe, quiet neighborhood that is just minutes from The Drag and east side hot spots. "
1935282,27618600,2015-03-08,17362528,Kevin,Great place.  Also great people.
1935282,28079446,2015-03-17,7760293,Becky,"Brad and his girlfriend were so friendly and welcoming! They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. It's a very comfy cute place, and has everything you would need! They even had coffee, tea, and other basic food items stocked for us! "
1935282,28893564,2015-03-31,457718,Catherine,"Brad's house was really lovely - really nicely designed with beautiful furniture and well put together for visitors. Really appreciated the thoughtful touches of having some extra toiletries and snacks available in the apartment. The iron was appreciated when we found some of our clothes had wrinkled, the blow drier when I realized I forgot mine at home. It felt like Brad had anticipated every need we might have. The bed is also very comfortable! 

We really liked the East Austin neighborhood, laid back with some cool restaurants/bars, but still neighborhood-y and quiet. It was nice to be within walking distance of a train and a bus line, and a long-ish walk to downtown, but doable. It would probably be easier to get around with a car, but we did OK with a combination of public transit, walking, and Uber. 

Brad and his girlfriend were perfect hosts, there when we needed them and seemingly invisible the rest of the time - we really felt like we had our own private piece of Austin.

Unfortunately, there is a large construction site across the road and while not too loud (I've certainly lived next to much louder), if you are a light sleeper it might wake you up in the morning."
1935282,30043611,2015-04-16,25363380,Eddie,"Really enjoyed my stay here. Went for a business trip and it couldn't have worked better. The place has a cool vibe. Modern, very comfortable, and in a great location. I never felt like I was lacking anything. Brad and Nichole are welcoming, easygoing, and considerate, and they helped with good suggestions for the area. I'll definitely try to book  again when I'm in the area."
1935282,31648485,2015-05-08,17362528,Kevin,Great neighborhood!   This is the 2nd time staying at this location and it is terrific.
1935282,32605177,2015-05-19,32626089,Kerry,Really enjoyed our stay at Brad's house. Exactly as described in the listing. Brad and Nichol were super friendly and accommodating! Location was ideal for our visit! 
1935282,32926176,2015-05-23,27861084,Megan,"We stayed at Brad's cottage one night of UT graduation weekend.  The house is adorable and very well-decorated, and it is in an excellent location.  Brad and Nichole were great hosts and left detailed notes and recommendations at the house.  We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!"
1935282,33580137,2015-05-30,30083313,Ben,A fantastic stay in a beautiful house. Thanks very much. 
1935282,34825957,2015-06-12,13636662,Julie,I loved this place.  The custom woodwork inside is beautiful!  Location is good with easy access to the Metrolink to downtown.  I walked to both the Butterfly Bar and the Skylark Lounge in the area.  I travel frequently to Austin and both of these spots now in my top 10 list.  The place was clean and the bed comfortable.  Easy checkin.  Liked it so much I booked the place for the following week.
1935282,35044726,2015-06-14,26363617,Debbie,"Brad and Nicole's place is even more charming than the pictures depict.  I walked in to a pleasantly cool (as in temperature - this is AUSTIN in June!) cottage with a local radio station playing tunes.  Personal touches everywhere and a beautifully designed space.  
I loved it.  
The Cherrywood area is so great.  So many wonderful restaurants and dives and the people are so friendly...like all of Austin.  "
1935282,36630434,2015-06-29,36641879,Stephanie,"Brad was awesome! The house was cozy, cold, and tunes were playing when we walked in! When we got back home last night, we realized that we should have just stayed forever."
1935282,37401525,2015-07-06,3386985,Ken,"Brad and his cottage were both flawless. So much attention to detail that went into the space, really well considered. I will definitely be visiting again."
1935282,37901022,2015-07-11,31516804,Charles,Great place for a cozy stay! We enjoyed everything about the cottage. The bed is great - and that is important! The furniture is nice and the details are all taken care of for you. My wife and I spent a week here and would definitely book again! Brad was very helpful in every way even though our path's never crossed! We had our car and that is important for this area - it is a bit of a hike to walk to many places. But we really enjoyed this visit and recommend staying here. 
1935282,38315730,2015-07-14,36473538,Kirby,"Brad and Nichole did an awesome job of creating a very inviting and cozy space! The fridge was stocked with water bottles and the kitchen had coffee (which was soo good in the mornings) along with some snacks and essentials that made us feel right at home. The neighborhood was quiet and in a super convenient location to everything around Austin. 

This was our first EVER AirBnB experience and though we were hesitant at first, we knew we had made the right decision the second we walked in the door. The sunlight was shining through the windows, the AC was cool and comfortable, and the entire place was clean and spotless. We've never stayed in a place in Austin that made us want to stay IN more than going out until this house. Brad was easy to communicate with and check-in/check-out was a breeze. He suggested an amazing restaurant that we visited for the night of our anniversary and was so helpful throughout the trip. We were so sad to leave and are already planning our next visit. I would recommend this location to anyone wanting a magical getaway. "
1935282,38559427,2015-07-16,38099831,Judith,Brad's cottage was amazing. Just being inside of it made me happy. It's in a good location being that is close to many attractions. Very clean and comfortable. The perfect size. 
1935282,38960291,2015-07-19,38610353,Stephen,This is an excellent choice for a place to stay not far at all from all the fun things to do. It's a great updated cottage as well!
1935282,40279092,2015-07-29,31516804,Charles,"The cottage is great and Brad is an awesome host. All of the details are thought out and covered... great wifi, clean, well-lit space, comfortable bed... it's all here! I understand why Brad is a super host - this place is great!"
1935282,41846546,2015-08-09,782110,Kallista,Great house at a great location. Loved how the house was designed and very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for such a smooth visit and your hospitality Brad!
1935282,43191816,2015-08-17,84998,Elisa,"Austin and I had such a wonderful and relaxing time staying at this adorable cottage. It was conveniently located to a ton of restaurants and shops, close to downtown, and brad was extremely accommodating. I would recommend his home to anyone passing by Austin! So quaint, so comfortable, and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay! "
1935282,43841704,2015-08-22,28476514,Axel,"Great and cute house in a very good location close to downtown, airport etc. Brad supported our stay perfectly, kitchen, bathroom, everything was very nice organized incl. available shampoo, soap, kitchen staff. Brad was available 24/7 and all instructions were very helpful. Thanks! "
1935282,45043592,2015-08-30,108629,Jon And Vivien,"We have been using AirBnB for over 5 years now and this has been one of the best homes we've ever stayed in! No detail was overlooked or spared from Brad and Nichole's quick response time to the nice towels, sparkling water and bottled water in the fridge to the beautiful design and cleanliness of the cottage itself! It is such a gem to find an AirBnB where you can have the entire place to yourself for such a reasonable cost and with such hospitable hosts. We took our two year daughter with us and she loved the place as much as we did. The location was PERFECT! Everything was within a 5-15 minute drive and my husband even took our daughter for a stroller walk to a nearby coffee shop down the road! Thanks so much B + N for the incredible experience. We hope to come back and we'll definitely be telling our friends! "
1935282,45522335,2015-09-03,13636662,Julie,Brad and Nichole are great hosts.  This is a really comfortable cozy property very convenient to East Austin.  I've stayed here about half dozen times.  You should definitely book this place on the weekends because I want to book it during the week when I'm traveling for business.
1935282,45836338,2015-09-06,4743452,Crystal,"Our stay at Casita Miriam was beyond our expectations. The photos don't do the place justice. Clean, cozy, and in a great location! Can't wait to be back!"
1935282,47703889,2015-09-21,27100665,Mark,"Brad was super accommodating when we showed up a bit early. Cottage is in a great part of Austin, super charming. 

Would definitely recommend."
1935282,48157714,2015-09-23,16253164,Kathleen,Brad was a fantastic host! The house was incredible! We will definitely be coming back! Wahoo!
1935282,49042175,2015-09-30,2775039,Martha,The house was pristine and so welcoming! No detail was overlooked and it would have been a perfect stay even if the cottage itself wasn't stunningly beautiful. The hard wood interior and tasteful decor made it feel luxurious and cozy. My boyfriend and I couldn't have been happier there. 
1935282,49862202,2015-10-06,30248855,James,"Brad is a great host, the place was great. Beautifully remodeled mold cottage. It felt bigger than we expected and was super comfortable and convent to get to downtown and South congress in 10 minutes on side streets. "
1935282,50201014,2015-10-10,43190644,Christina,"We had a great time at Casa Miriam! What an inviting and special place! We had everything one could ask for, and it was the perfect space for 2. The only negative was the construction going on across the street, starting at 7am, until 7pm. It was kind of annoying, but not a huge deal considering we were exploring Austin most of the time! All in all, would stay here again! "
1935282,51925144,2015-10-25,4699638,Rachel,Brad was very helpful and easy to communicate with.
1935282,52592194,2015-10-31,43771172,Molly,"Brad was exceptionally welcome as I arrived to Austin at the tail end of a very long work trip. The cottage was absolutely adorable and stocked with thoughtful goodies.  They seem to have thought of everything down to the very smallest detail. Bed was comfortable, parking was easy...the pictures do not do this place justice! The location is also fantastic - I walked to the Boggy Creek path several times during my stay for a lovely jogging route and even to the UT campus, all very easily. I will certainly be back during my annual trip to Austin next year!"
1143790,6378618,2013-08-10,7773942,Urvish,Was a great home in a great neighborhood.  Deana was very helpful and accessible if we had questions.  Would definitely stay there again.
1143790,7083690,2013-09-05,8479108,Steven,"We had a great stay at Deana's place.  Deana was very responsive to our early questions, and provided a very nice house for us. The house is extremely convenient for the Greenbelt for visitors who like walking.

Thanks Deana"
1143790,7913039,2013-10-08,6048495,Ben,"Deana's house was a good value. It was clean, and represented accurately by the photos. It was in a good location for the ACL festival. We could easily walk from the house either by the roads or by the greenbelt trail. It is also a short walk from the Taco Deli which is awesome."
1143790,8078098,2013-10-15,408135,Ivan,Deana was the perfect host!  She provided clear guidelines for the use of her comfortably appointed and perfectly located home for the ACL weekend. She had ready advice and provided a clear channel of communication.  She even suggested new locations to explore when the last day of ACL was cancelled.  I recommend her and her home without hesitation. We had a great time.  
1143790,8811901,2013-11-19,2120268,Jill Ann,"Deana was awesome and very helpful. The house was quiet, well located and a very good value. Taco Deli is amazing too. We didn't need public transpo, but we saw a bus going downtown come by all the time. I wish we had more time to explore that part of the Greenbelt that takes you to all the good spots. Highly recommended!"
1143790,50278272,2015-10-11,38949473,Teresa,We enjoyed our stay very much.  The location was very convenient.  We were close to Zilker; there was a coffee shop/ market  across the street as well as great texmex lunch. The neighborhood was beautiful and the house was comfortable and as described.
8577931,49295794,2015-10-02,45339100,Christa,In one word awesome! Hosts were very accommodating. Room was nice and clean. Nice neighborhood highly recommend to book here.

8577931,49754324,2015-10-05,5641651,Chrisnina,I love her place. Gabriela and her husband are really nice! The place was cute and clean. I will come back!
8577931,49863893,2015-10-06,45633482,Sophia,Gabriel and Alex were wonderful hosts! Their home smelled great and was very neat and clean. They had good food recommendations as well. We'd definitely stay with them again.
8577931,50690614,2015-10-13,23318634,Nicole,"Gaby and Alex were wonderful to stay with!!! They left us a key so that we could come and go as needed. Their home was cute, cozy, and inviting. The room we stayed in was right next to the bathroom which was great. Would definitely stay with them again! "
8577931,50812085,2015-10-14,30046330,Scott,"Gaby was extremely responsive and accommodating. The house is lovely, in a quiet, conveniently located area of Austin. The bed was extremely comfortable, especially the comforter. The room was nicely decorated and comes with all the basics that you need, plus a TV. Also, there is a great ceiling fan above the bed, which I love. "
8577931,52646580,2015-10-31,35390718,Joe,Gabriela and Alex are great hosts. The place was very clean and had everything I needed. Perfect if you're in town for a quick stay and need a comfortable place to rest your head.

5298085,34841017,2015-06-12,25384909,Edward,"Kayla was very responsive to my last minute request.  She was kind, and very helpful after check in.  The room was clean and the bed was comfy."
5298085,34925248,2015-06-13,34308373,Veronica,"Kayla was a great hostess,  her home truly is a little cottage. She offered great and quick communication and had everything prepared exactly as described. It is also in a perfect location with easy access to everything!  I loved the private entrance,  as I was in and out all night. Thank you for a great first experience!"
5298085,35191684,2015-06-15,3745262,Ricardo,I had a great stay at Kayla's. The place is beautiful and very well located. She responded very quickly and was great at communicating. I would definitely stay here again.
5298085,35504811,2015-06-19,35300055,Joshua,"Kayla was a wonderful host. She offered her kitchen and TV room to us to use during our stay. The room was perfect and can be accessed through the back door of the house if you are going to be out late at night. Finally, the best part is the house is located close to Zilker and downtown Austin."
5298085,36602159,2015-06-29,19134702,Katie,"Great experience! Check in was easy, room was as described, and I had plenty of privacy. Great location and very comfortable; would stay again in the future. "
5298085,36992743,2015-07-03,31863088,Lindsey,Kayla was very responsive. Our check in process was very easy and she kept me up to date on check in time and the process. We had a short trip so we weren't able to meet but Kayla was very sweet over messaging. 
5298085,37820513,2015-07-10,37621823,Harrison,"Kayla's house is in a great location.  Really close to downtown, and a lot of bars and restaurants.  I wasn't able to meet her, because she was out of town, but was very responsive texting me back.  Theres plenty of room.  Would be great for a big group.  "
5298085,39582601,2015-07-24,38916030,KaraJeff,"My son and I had a wonderful experience in Kayla's home.  This was our first Airbnb experience so we didn't know quite what to expect.  We used her spare bedroom which has a mattress on the floor, and her living room which has a futon and a table.  Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived.  We finally did get to meet Kayla during our stay and she is very kind and personable and I had a great 20 minutes getting to know her.

Her location is perfect if you need fast access to the downtown/Zilker/Long Center area.  Also perfect if you need to get to South central part of Austin, like the Ben White/Hwy 71 area.

Thank you, Kayla, for making our first Airbnb a great one!"

5298085,43468361,2015-08-19,41733491,Chad,"Kayla was a fine host, especially given that we requested a last minute room (only two hours to prepare). When we got there, she told us all the hotspots and gave great recommendations. After that we didn't see that much of her, though she was very accommodating throughout the experience. Not a bad stay at all for my first time. Great location to the city too."
5298085,43582131,2015-08-20,39143935,Joe,"Very good location, smll, quaint and clean cottage. Kayla is very friendly and makes feel welcome"
5298085,49215084,2015-10-02,1976069,Jason,"A nice cozy room in a good location. I only met Kayla face-to-face one time briefly, but she checked in a couple times to make sure things were going well. Overall, a great first airBNB experience."
310424,999243,2012-03-14,1662268,Nick,"Kim is a wonderful host, and this is a fantastic place. You will find no place in Austin that is more warm and welcoming to the guest than the Organic Farmhouse. Such a funky place - great location, right next to downtown. For SXSW / ACL - a premiere reservation! Looks great for weddings too!"
310424,1017443,2012-03-19,401210,Chad,"SXSW was my first experience with airbnb last year and was so great that i became an addict! Ive become an unofficial airbnb spokesman over the past year. This year.. we were looking for something even better and different. We found it in Kims Organic Farmhouse! Whats an amazing place. Total seclusion and peace coupled w the sounds of roosters and other farm creatures. The kitchen was a joy to cook in and has some really cool double doors that open to the outdoor area w a fire pit, hammok and giant cooler. The rooms were comfortable and relaxing w great details and amenities. There are a slew of bikes to borrow for a really cool ride downtown (approx 3 miles) and the property has alot of handmade bike part sculptures scattered about. Kims friends were gracious hosts and greeted us and helped us out with advice and anything we needed during our stay. This is def the place to rent if you want to experience a relaxing rural stay close to Austin!"
310424,1683974,2012-07-11,1330118,Allie,"This was the perfect place for us!  Kim was easy to communicate with and her home was so cozy and inviting.  The beds were so comfortable!  It was kid friendly and vast, my kids loved playing in the yard and checking out the farm animals.  The farmers also gave us fresh tomatoes upon our arrival.  I can't wait to go back!"
310424,2176906,2012-09-03,820952,Brittany,"My sisters and I needed a spot to host a bridal shower weekend. Kim and her family were on vacation, and the farmhouse turned out to be a perfect spot that was pretty centrally located for all the visitors. The kitchen was well stocked and the house was uncluttered, so we were able to host the shower without any trouble. Thankfully Kim was very understanding and allowed us to have a flexible check-out time! My only regret was not seeing more of the farm."
310424,2925375,2012-11-20,2268776,Ruben,"This place was awsome, it was very clean and the perfect place to stay if you want to go visit downtown, the is a store and a restaurant very close by that made our trip even better. I hope going back to Austin one day and i would definitely stay here again.."
310424,3781897,2013-03-14,31800,Matt,"Our stay at the farm was above expectations. Its such a comfortable home and our host Kim was very helpful with any questions we had. Good vibes all around. Her restaurant advice (Justine's and Freemens) were spot on both times. For our trip the location and size of the home were exactly right, comfortably hosting 4. SXSW is more downtown but to retrieve from all that at the end of a day was what we were looking for. The drive was about 10 mins by car."
4196178,28087536,2015-03-17,4515808,Tim,"I loved the stay at Stephanie's house. It is a very nice neighborhood. There is actually two bus stations very close. Taking the bus downtown takes 30 min.
The room and the house is very organized and super clean. Also, I had an own entire bathroom for myself. Even without a car you have bars and grocery stores in foot distance. I was also impressed by Stephanie's heartwarming and welcoming way of hosting me, asking if I need something to eat at my arrival etc. Stephanie is the best and most caretaking host I've ever stayed with. Helpful with all kinds of local tips. I would always come back and would recommend this to family and friends as a personal tip!"
4196178,28330645,2015-03-22,28368595,Amilcar,"Stephanie was fantastic! We was kind, funny, warm, and did everything to make me feel welcome. The neighborhood was outstanding with plenty of places to eat, drink etc. within walking distance or a quick Uber ride. She asked many times if there was anything she could get to make the stay more comfortable, and was just a great host!!!"
4196178,50609283,2015-10-12,36743246,Jennifer,Stephanie was a great host! She had everything set up for us and made the house feel warm and welcoming for our late arrival. She even asked if we needed anything from the grocery to make our stay more enjoyable. The room is exactly as described in the listing/pictures. Very clean room/bathroom and a very comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend staying with Stephanie if you're in the Austin area. 
5006435,49493957,2015-10-04,24199055,Nate,"Andy was always accessible and provided clear, reasonable expectations for staying at his place. Very nice house and plenty of room for even 10 guys. Definitely recommend this place to anyone else."

5424240,34349504,2015-06-07,28587042,Cora,"My friends and I had a great time staying in Alex's apartment. The location is fantastic - it's just a quick drive to everything, and the river is across the street. The apartment complex and the surrounding area felt very safe and secure. Alex's apartment is open-feeling and uncluttered which was really nice! It's definitely a man's apartment, haha. But if you're looking for a comfortable and simple place to crash while in Austin, I would definitely recommend it! "

Tyler and Shannon have a great spot in the crestview area of austin. The neighborhood is safe and quiet with good eats nearby. They left us a bottle of wine, banana bread, and a note with restaurant and apartment suggestions. They even offered their crib so we wouldnt have to bring our pack'n'play. I communicated with Tyler back 'n forth regarding apartments in the area. He was very helpful.

No liberties were taken in the description - what you see here accurately depicts what youll arrive to. The house was clean, cozy, and offered plenty of amenities for us."
4279470,23179853,2014-11-24,9392162,Shenale,"My girlfriend's and I booked the home for our annual girls weekend. The home was so cute and was located close to main roads to get anywhere in the city. Shannon's husband was so nice and really took the time to show everything to me. The house was so cute! The pictures are very accurate! The kitchen was fully stocked and the house was very clean and organized. The beds are extremely comfortable, even the pull out bed. I loved staying here and I had a wonderful time. I would suggest it to anyone visiting the area!"
4279470,28128210,2015-03-18,13374407,Stephen,"We stayed in this wonderful house during SXSW. Everything was as described. Great neighborhood, super friendly hosts. We would stay here again any time. "
4279470,28313151,2015-03-22,1623043,Lily,"The house was cool and cozy, quiet, clean, and only a 10 minute drive from downtown which made it pretty perfect for our stay during SXSW. We loved the backyard and wish we could've utilized it more! Tyler and Shannon were insanely gracious hosts, accessible via text at any time and providing us with a ton of groceries upon our arrival. We felt pampered. "
4279470,28845098,2015-03-30,22780286,Janice,I had a great time at this house. It looks small on the outside but was pretty large on the inside. Everything was great! They gave us a bottle of wine and free breakfast foods. The house was clean.
4279470,30284251,2015-04-20,26818584,Joni,We booked this place for a weekend visit to Austin for our sister's wedding.  The place was very cozy and roomy for our family of 6.  It was like a home away from home.  We enjoyed our stay so much. Great hosts!  Would highly recommended staying here!!
4279470,31312234,2015-05-04,28914531,Dammy,"I'm an Austin resident and booked this place for birthday weekend stay-cation with some family and friends coming from out of town. We had an amazing time in the Norton's home and I couldn't have asked for a better place. They reached out to me prior to the weekend to understand my food preferences, provided an air mattress and prepared the fold-out bed in the sunroom for additional sleeping space, and were immediately available to answer any questions that I had.

The pictures are pretty spot on and the house decor is even better in person. From the outside, the house looks unassuming but its layout makes it feel very spacious. Also, the house has *everything* (iron, cooking utensils, etc.) that a house should have, is very clean, well-organized and smells great - don't underestimate how important scent is! Though there is street parking, their driveway fits at least 4 cars so that you don't have to park on the street - something that was important to me since I had people driving into town. The neighborhood has everything you need and is about a 15 minute drive downtown or to the east side. 

I can't decide which part of the house was my favorite - the large and radiant sunroom or the well laid out living room with enough seating to play a game of Taboo (which they provided!).

My only regret is that we didn't utilize the backyard more during our stay!"
4279470,32472058,2015-05-18,25562241,Rachel,We used this house for a family getaway. It was perfect for our needs. We loved the backyard space and spent most of our weekend outside playing darts. The house easily fit our whole family and Shannon left great instructions and was very inviting. She even took time away from her own vacation to check on us. We would definitely use their home again and highly recommend it. 
4279470,33095372,2015-05-25,30071847,Tracey,"We could not have been happier with our stay. The home is extremely comfortable, and Shannon goes above and beyond to make sure her guests have a great time. The weather kept us from using the backyard much, but it is perfect for a relaxed cookout with friends. We were a party of three adults and one toddler, and we could have easily slept another two adults. Shannon allowed us to use her son's nursery which made the trip so much easier.
I highly recommend this home!"
4279470,35075481,2015-06-15,18293163,Stephanie,"What a wonderful place to stay in Austin! Shannon and Tyler were very accommodating with helpful suggestions to eat and explore, and the house was perfect for our occasion! It had plenty of private bedroom space and comfortable common rooms to hang out and catch up. They even provided some fruit and snacks in the fridge/pantry for us - as well as coffee and tea. 

The decor was rustic and charming, and we felt right at home. We had a great time and look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Austin!"
4279470,37380478,2015-07-06,14000092,Ross,"My wife & I and another couple stayed at Shannon & Tyler's place over a long weekend while giving our friends their first tour of Austin, and we were very pleased with our stay.  The location was convenient for exploring the town and everything we had planned.  The house was accurately advertised; it was comfortable for the 4 of us at night, and had everything you'd need in order to use it as a home-base or for just staying in and relaxing on their property.  The backyard setup complete with grill, fire pit, darts, horseshoes, and lighting was especially fun.  Tyler met us upon arrival and ensured we knew how to use everything, and the other many little hospitable touches by our hosts were really just above-and-beyond.  Highly recommended at this location / price point."
4279470,41023321,2015-08-03,39655631,Steven,"The house was perfect for the 6 of us to use as a base camp while in Austin. We really enjoyed the backyard with the fire pit, grill and dart board. I highly recommend this place!!"
4279470,49766695,2015-10-06,28764589,Xenia,Shannon was there to welcome us in person and made us feel at home! She was very detailed making sure we had the amenities we needed and more! 
4279470,51326407,2015-10-19,1149206,Katherine,"This was the perfect AirB&B experience.  Shannon was responsive, helpful and her house was spotlessly clean!  She left lots of goodies in the fridge for us and even a bottle of wine!  I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience.   She made us feel very comfortable.   I would stay here again in a heartbeat.  "
882057,3804630,2013-03-17,3984127,Katie,"Christy's home is beautiful, and she was an incredible host. I rented with her for SXSW Interactive, and my team was really happy with everything about the house. The neighborhood is quiet, full of interesting architecture and close to some great places to eat. After working really hard to get ready for the conference, when we got to the house I felt like she anticipated what I needed to get everyone settled.

The Palmer center is really close and provided a shuttle downtown for the conference. It was worth getting away from downtown and renting bikes to get around. South Congress is close but walking takes some time because the streets don't go straight through. We didn't regret the fact that we decided not to rent a car. "
882057,4688378,2013-05-20,4941384,Carson,"We stayed with Christy this past weekend and her home was the perfect place for us !  It is about an 8 minute walk to South Congress with plenty of Austin near her house.

Her home sleeps plenty & we were all very comfortable. Her 2nd story balcony is a great place to enjoy a nice meal and good company and her kitchen has all the bells and whistles for the chefs at heart out there !

Christy was very helpful in advance as we planned our trip and genuinely welcoming when we checked in and out.

1 great place near Christy's home where we ventured during the day on Friday to was the Barton Springs Pool to relieve ourselves from the high Texas heat.
"
882057,4837972,2013-05-28,4448403,Michael,"What a great house!  It was exactly as described and had a very comfortable and homey feel to it.  Christy was such a fantastic host and very thorough in her instructions.  She also provided a super helpful how-to pamphlet, as well as, some reminders around the house.  There was plenty of parking and plenty of room in the house...especially enjoyed the deck!  The place is located just a short walk across the river to downtown and also close to a great park with a view of the city.  This place is perfect and I would definitely stay here again!  Thanks, Christy for everything!"
882057,4945624,2013-06-03,5970294,John,"Christy's place was amazing, location was great, house was even bigger than we expected! Left food and alcohol available to her guests, pretty unheard of even in the best of the AirBNB world! Loved her place, wish i could afford to stay here for ACL, the location is perfect and there were more beds than even our huge group needed!
"
882057,5194274,2013-06-17,5172430,Hugo,"Every part of our experience was wonderful.  Christy was flexible with our early check-in time, left us a bottle of wine, snacks, some food, and even toiletries in case we forgot some!

As the house was so wonderful, we ended up spending more time there then we initially expected.  The Kitchen, dining, and living area were so open that it was easy for a large group to interact with one another.  She left very clear instructions on how to use her tv with netflix (which we used to rest one afternoon), her multiple speaker systems (and airport express for outdoor control of the music), grill, and I'm sure some things I'm forgetting.

The house was simply gorgeous.  So well decorated and cared for, that even though we were a bachelor party, everyone instantly knew that this was someone's home and should be respected.  

Christy was also great with giving us directions and suggestions on some things to do and see while in Austin.  Everyone in our group had a great time, and we can't wait to come back to visit.

Thanks!"
882057,5788600,2013-07-16,6816161,Brent,"The perfect place for larger groups, our stay here was amazing.  (We had 10 adults, but the place is also great for children.)  The location was ideal for us - we wanted to be close to the action (easy walk to the downtown center), but in a beautiful quiet neighborhood for some relaxing peace. There is so much space to enjoy... both indoors & outdoors.  It was beyond our expectations... even better than the beautiful pictures online. 

Christy did an AMAZING job setting up the place and offering all the amenities and more!  Communication leading up to, during and after our stay was wonderful.  She was always available, responsive and friendly.  She provided great recommendations for places to visit and eat.  I even left a rented bicycle helmet in the garage and she helped drop that off at the rental store.  Those little things made the experience tremendous.  Next time I'm in Austin, I'll definitely try to stay here again... whether it is a small or large group.  Amazing deal for the size, quality, location and service! 

I highly recommend this house!  Simply amazing. 
"
882057,6250722,2013-08-05,7017127,Eric,"We had a big group in town for the weekend and Christy's place was absolutely perfect. She was so accommodating in getting us set up and her house was fantastic. A great place for a group of 10-12 like us, with plenty of great beds to sleep. Very close to some great restaurants and fun night life. We had an awesome experience and I would highly recommend!"
882057,6982003,2013-09-02,6707393,Meredith,"We stayed at the house this weekend for a girls weekend and the house was absolutely perfect! The house was super clean and very organized, making it easy to feel welcomed. The location was perfect for shopping on South Congress during the day and going out for dinner and drinks downtown. Christy is so easy to work with and very accommodating.  I highly recommend this house for any medium to large group getting together! "
882057,7552254,2013-09-24,7679968,Kamilo,"Our friend recently moved down to Austin so we thought we would pay him a visit.  Thankfully we found this lovely house just outside of downtown Austin.  This spacious house was able to fully accommodate all of us under one roof.  You can easily walk anywhere you need to go, either downtown or some of the food trucks just south of Congress.  

It's pretty close to the entrance to ACL, so if that's why you're staying at this house, you will not be disappointed.  

Christy was a wonderful host and they did an amazing job having the house ready for all of us.  They even left us a little arrival gift.  

The house, location and host were all top notch and I would highly recommend staying here.  "
882057,7925102,2013-10-08,3704160,Ryan,"house was great, more space than we needed for our party. good location for ACL, was obvious christy knows what she's doing."
882057,10916992,2014-03-13,7920076,Mark,"This house was fantastic - Incredibly well decorated and equipped. We were able to fit 8 people very comfortably and had everything we needed to enjoy the stay. Christy was a great host and had left detailed instructions for all the house amenities, where things were, and was available for any questions that came up. "
882057,11002594,2014-03-17,4076105,David,"Christy's house is lovely. In a quiet neighborhood that is a 15 minute walk to South Congress or a 25 minutes walk to the busier areas north of the river.

The house was clean and her and her husband made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend staying at this house for an enjoyable Austin experience.

thanks again!"
882057,13133603,2014-05-20,11787258,Ryan,"Everything about our Austin weekend and experience with Christy's property was perfect! She was such a thoughtful host, who left our group extra food, supplies and drinks. Even the makeshift cots that were provided (because we had so many people in our group) were super comfortable. The patio, deck, and outside area were perfect to enjoy the sunshine and the grill at the house is really nice."
882057,13952126,2014-06-09,13515606,Nadeem,"We visited Austin for my brother's bachelor party, and we had such an amazing time here! The place was so clean, and everything is so close by. We were able to walk into town for mostly everything, although we took a cab a few times if it was too late or too hot! 

Christy was an incredible host as well. It was very easy to get in contact with her before our visit and during the visit, and she made us all feel so welcome there. I would definitely recommend staying here, and if we come back to Austin I would definitely stay here again!"
882057,15670308,2014-07-14,11288297,Todd,"The house and location were both incredible. The value was just right along with the amenities. Christy is fantastic, as well. Honestly could not be happier, and all of Christy's hospitable, welcoming touches throughout made it a very special weekend."
882057,16067257,2014-07-21,15535878,Cole,"This house was amazing!  I rented it for my brother's bachelor party and we had a great time.  Having this house was such a better choice than renting a hotel room because we had the room to spread ourselves out and have plenty of personal space.  This was a great place to host a bachelor party and we LOVED the sound system and kitchen area, especially as it was stocked with drinks when we arrived.  Great location, we walked down the hill to Terry Black's for barbecue and my brother was able to get Whataburger on the cab ride home during both nights."
882057,18884627,2014-09-02,3794829,Jeff,"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our weekend trip to Austin.  Christy was very helpful and responsive.  The house was well-equipped with everything our group needed -- a nice grill, sound system, backyard, deck, etc.  Furthermore, Bouldin Creek was a perfect location for us, walking distance to Town Lake, Barton Springs, and Torchy's Tacos.  We can't wait to come back."
882057,21276328,2014-10-14,15758044,Russell,The experience at this location was better than what we expected.  From the host welcoming to the cleanliness and character of the home we were very satisfied with our stay.  When you go out of town you hope that you have an experience that is comfortable and the location as well as floor plan and amenities available at the home were a breath of fresh air that had all guests feeling like it was a perfect fit.  We received feedback all weekend long by the other guest how happy they were with the place and how much they enjoyed staying there because it was so much better than being in separate rooms at a hotel.  Plus the location was perfect for quick access in and out of the immediate surrounding area in Austin.
882057,28157200,2015-03-19,16335888,Chris,"If you're looking for a well appointed, spacious and comfortable place to spend a week in Austin that is walking distance to downtown, you'll be hard pressed to find something more appealing than this place. My team and I come here once a year and plan to keep the traditional going. The hosts are attentive, helpful and respond quickly to requests. Highly recommended!"
882057,33216581,2015-05-26,665165,Torrey,"Christy was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with and responded promptly. Her house was lovely. Perfect for my family, ranging in age from grandparents to toddlers. We were all very comfortable. Not only did the accommodations exceed my expectations, but Christy was one of the most generous hosts I have ever encountered. I would highly recommend this home to any family!"
882057,50614522,2015-10-13,22217414,Charles,This house was amazing and very well organized for a short/term guest stay. Christy was very responsive when we had any questions while getting settled in. Center inside the boudin creek area is was easy to get anywhere in and around downtown Austin.  
6288166,31684799,2015-05-08,13197258,Daniel,Exceeded expectations. Comfortable house and great location. Hosts went above and beyond to make sure my stay was a pleasant one. Definitely recommend. 
6288166,44732456,2015-08-28,13197258,Daniel,Great stay. Enjoyed the hosts and the neighborhood. Definitely recommend. 
4047528,20468819,2014-09-29,2916478,Jamie,"Location was fantastic. It's not a particularly large space, but it's well-equipped, reasonably priced, and absolutely spotless. We fit 8 very comfortably. Would definitely stay there again."
4047528,20847340,2014-10-06,21082287,Megan,"Our stay at Ryan's loft was fantastic. We came to Austin for a weekend with a group of 8 and fit very comfortably in the space. The loft itself is beautiful and had everything we needed - plus the location was perfect. Ryan and Thomas were extremely helpful both before and during our stay, providing recommendations and assistance when we needed it. I would absolutely recommend this location if you're looking for a great place to stay in an ideal location."
4047528,21585390,2014-10-20,4129887,Alexis,"Ryan was always in communication along with his employees. They addressed a kitchen concern very quickly.  I appreciate that we had direct contact numbers.  The place is decorated great and it was awesome there was an air mattress already in the unit!  

I loved Austin. The location of this apartment is fantastic and they are very thorough about places to check out and sightsee!  Overall we had an amazing weekend! "
4047528,22015551,2014-10-28,3636091,Franklin,"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Railyard during the Austin Film Festival. Location was ideal. Apartment was comfortable. And Ryan was a dependable, reliable host. "
4047528,22590607,2014-11-10,21749096,Derrick,"Ryan and his properties are a fantastic choice for your stay in Austin.  Take it from a former resident - the location can't be beat.  Combine that with the charm of a well-decorated place with hotel-like amenities, and you've got yourself a perfect rental!

As a first-time Airbnb renter, I was skeptical of the process, but Ryan put my mind at ease immediately.  He was very responsive to communications and questions pre-booking, sent a very detailed list of instructions for everything we needed to know for our trip, and and his team immediately followed up with answers to our last-minute questions just before our stay.

My only complaint is that the trip ended too soon, but I'm afraid there's nothing Ryan could've done about that - else I'm sure he would've tried!"
4047528,23441719,2014-12-01,9997671,Stephanie,"The location is excellent! Perfectly situated downtown and it's easy to get in/out of the condo. That being said, some of the windows do not lock so we were at times worried about leaving our belongings there. I did not have any interaction with Ryan - as the email he sent prior to our arrival was self explanatory. The place is a lot smaller in real life and the loft upstairs is just one room with two double beds. My only other complaint would be the shower downstairs does not drain which is gross especially if you need to take showers one after another. The place is all about its location. "
4047528,24935720,2015-01-04,22610681,Mike,"So first off - I have to say that Austin was my favorite domestic trip I've been on. There were a few key reasons why this property helped:

1. The location couldn't be better. It is one and a half blocks from ""dirty"" 6th street - the college bar scene. Franklins (the famous BBQ) and west 6th street (the bars for us in our late 20s) are within walking distance on a nice day (10-15 min walk). You also get a parking space to drive to other, farther away attractions.
2. The space COMFORTABLY fits 8 people. The air mattresses are small (that fit 2 more), but they definitely work. 
3. The condo is stocked with shampoo, bodywash, coffee, etc. It makes the experience that much easier. 
4. The place is a beautiful loft - complete with wifi, tvs, etc. 
5. Did I mention the LOCATION! It really can't be beat. And the price is very good compared to local hotels.

Ryan and his property manager, Thomas, were more than amenable. I had all the information I needed prior to arriving in Austin. Thomas was very quick to answer my calls and accommodated my group tremendously. They gave my group our space but were there when we needed them. 

One thing to note - the rooms don't lock. Just so you know :). 

I will also say this - my group had a few people that, no matter how many times you told them, would not be quiet after the ""quiet hours"" (10pm - 7am). I would say that, as a result, we were a loud group. There are tenants that live full-time in this complex, but they were all very gracious and respectful if we were being too loud. 

Overall, this place is a 5 star rental for sure. I would recommend it to really any larger groups. If you come when Brazos Hall (two blocks down) has an event, I would recommend going to that - we had the best NYE there!!"
4047528,25590995,2015-01-20,3033086,Anna,"Our group of 7 had a great stay at the condo this January. Plenty of sleeping room, and the beds were very comfortable (memoryfoam I think). The common room/living space was a little tight and oddly shaped, but we made it work as we were mostly out and about exploring Austin. It just wouldn't be great if you really wanted to lounge and cook dinners with a large group at the condo.  The location of the place is amazing--extremely central and within walking distance (so long as the weather is nice!)  of most areas. We didn't have a car, so this was extremely valuable! The condo is right across from a big hotel so there were always lots of cabs right in front and also a Starbucks in the hotel lobby! The check-in/out process was very easy and Ryan and team were super efficient and responsive to our questions, accommodated a late checkout, etc. Overall a great stay! Thanks!"
4047528,25788975,2015-01-26,21788817,Chris,"Ryan was great, the lock system was excellent as there was no messing around with collecting or dropping off keys. The place is truly swanky and very central. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend anyone visiting Austin to use this condo. Keep up the good work.   "
4047528,26055165,2015-02-02,7855037,Bob,"Listing and pictures held true to what was promised. The unit appears to be used exclusively for airbnb, and was very clean and we'll maintained. 

Moreover, the property manager, Thomas, was extremely responsive to his guests and accommodating to various questions we had. 

Overall great airbnb experience. "
4047528,26449003,2015-02-13,2012666,Elizabeth,Great place and location. Very clean and great decor!
4047528,26674884,2015-02-17,24409455,Brad,"The host made us feel welcome and all the information he provided was EXTREMELY helpful. He clued us in on how to check-in, where to hang out, and how to get back to the airport. The unit itself was incredible. We were easily accomodated and the location was great!"
4047528,27006340,2015-02-23,26954158,Matt,"We made this reservation to celebrate a friend's and my birthday and we had the best possible experience.  Every single aspect of our reservation, check-in, stay and check-out were handled impeccably by Ryan, Jared and Thomas.

Jared was our contact during our stay, and he went out of his way more than once to make our stay as convenient, seamless and easy as possible.  From offering to store our bags prior to check-in, delivering them to the unit while we were out and about during the day, allowing late check-out before we flew out, and his general availability to answer questions and provide recommendations throughout our stay, I can't say enough about how tremendous a job Jared did.

The condo looked great, sleeps 4-8 people comfortably (maybe even 10, if you use the airbeds) and had plenty of amenities and conveniences.

If you are looking for a clean, nice, comfortable, convenient place to stay in a fantastic location, for a great price, with outstanding hosts, I strongly suggest you look no further than here.

Thanks again!"
4047528,29199134,2015-04-05,5191270,Tom,Great apartment great location great host. True to advertisement.
4047528,29319563,2015-04-06,26903608,Idil,"The space was good for our purposes. Noise definitely travels as the walls are quiet thin. The unit itself only has the basics, but they were fine / enough for our stay.  "
4047528,29814868,2015-04-13,5414856,Molly,"This was a great rental for a group. Plenty of room for everyone, excellent location and easy to get in and out thanks to all of the set up and information on the front end from Ryan. I had a slight hiccup with another renter staying in the complex when I parked in the wrong parking spot - but a quick call to the number Ryan provided and we got it straightened out in seconds. Super helpful and everything that was presented. Thanks!"
4047528,30282077,2015-04-20,25965708,Kayla,"The condo was nice and clean! Very true to pictures. The location was great and we only had to Uber a couple times. There are great restaurants around that you can just walk to. The house was fully stocked with plenty of shampoo, body wash, paper towels, etc.  It was great! The welcome email I received after booking was really thorough and helpful for activities as well!"
4047528,30754060,2015-04-27,23747189,Joe,Our stay at Ryan's condo was amazing. The location couldn't be beat for accessibility to anywhere downtown. The unit was beautiful and clean when we arrived. We had an issue with our A/C not working and Ryan and his team were on it in no time. We couldn't have picked a better place for our trip.
4047528,32246954,2015-05-16,14541528,Manuel,Genial. Ubicación perfecta. Es exactamente como aparece en las fotos. Camas super cómodas. Si volviese a Austin me quedaría en el mismo apartamento sin dudarlo un segundo.
4047528,33227860,2015-05-26,19864960,Margeaux,Ryan made me feel welcome and provided a lot of information about the city and surrounding area. The location of the condo was very convenient and we were able to easily walk to numerous attractions/restaurants. The place was clean and I found it to be just as advertised. The complex got loud at night on a couple occasions due to the partying of other units but that was our only complaint.
4047528,33774190,2015-06-01,28069161,Gabby,The condo was absolutely beautiful - even better than reflected in the pictures. It was central to everything and was an extremely comfortable home base. Ryan was very responsive during the process. I wouldn't change a thing!
4047528,35067637,2015-06-15,28619252,Elizabeth,"I stayed at Ryan's place with eight of my girlfriends for a reunion weekend. We loved the apartment - it was clean, had lots of space and had lots of towels, cleaning supplies, etc. Great location as well - walking distance to a lot of the places we went or a short Uber. "
4047528,37385084,2015-07-06,34870115,Nina,We had a great time in Austin over the 4th of July weekend with 3 other couples. The location was great and walking distance to the firework display. 
4047528,37969177,2015-07-12,32582648,Kenneth,"It was great! I was staying here for my wedding with my groomsmen. The place was perfect, we were in a great part of downtown and the accommodations were great. The apartment is updated and has a very comfortable feel. If I come back to Austin I would definitely stay here again. The hosts were great and very helpful. We needed another parking place and they helped us find them very quickly, I was very pleased."
4047528,38873298,2015-07-19,877634,Ashwin And Sina,"Dealing with Ryan was incredibly convenient.  We rented this apartment for a convention and four of us from my company stayed there.  It was right across the street from the convention center and we saved a LOT of money.  Ryan was very friendly.  In fact we had originally had booked another apartment, but then had to extend a night. The original apartment wasn't available so we had to switch to another unit.  Ryan made the transition extremely easy.  The apartment itself was also great and we would definitely rent again."
4047528,40976976,2015-08-03,8924219,Ryan,Nice place and great location.  Close to everything in downtown Austin and plenty of space for the 8 of us who stayed there for a weekend.  Ryan was responsive when we had an issue (another car in the assigned spot - not his fault) and took care of us.  Highly recommended and would stay here again.
4047528,41454052,2015-08-07,5514487,Matthew,"Great host, great space, and great location.  Thank you!"
4047528,42094409,2015-08-10,24673384,Mischa,Best place I've stayed at in Austin. Ryan was extremely accommodating and responsive. All around great experience.
4047528,43045090,2015-08-17,34672570,Brooke,PERFECT location!! This condo was everything we could have asked for. Amazing restaurants and bars all around. Ryan and his team did an excellent job helping us with everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this condo. 
4047528,43791950,2015-08-22,870380,Rashel,Great spot! Will be staying again next year!! 
4047528,45705075,2015-09-05,3652599,Thomas,The place was exactly as described. Very nice and very clean. Indications were very clear. We had a great time there!
4047528,47866027,2015-09-21,22695457,Ewan,"Great communicative host, great location. clean spacious apartment minutes away from 6th St. Would 100% stay here again!  "
4047528,48075900,2015-09-23,6200580,Sara,"Couldn't have had a better experience with this Airbnb. It was 5 of us girls for a weekend in Austin and the location was absolutely amazing. The space itself was beautiful and extremely spacious. There were 4 beds and 2 full baths, all amenities. It was honestly perfect for us. Communication with the host was excellent as well. 5 stars!!"
4047528,49384091,2015-10-03,44940474,Kieran,"The place was exactly as advertised.  The location can not be beat as you are basically nestled between east 6th street and Rainey Districts.  Access was ideal, particularly if you have a car."
4047528,49985173,2015-10-08,918621,Lindsay,"Ryan's condo was absolutely perfect for attending SXSWEco at the Austin Convention Center.  It is literally across the street from the Center.  Checking in was as easy as it could be, and the condo was well-appointed with everything my teammates and I needed for our stay.  I highly recommend this location!"
4047528,50660311,2015-10-13,21663094,Darshini,Ryan and Thomas did a fantastic job prepping the apartment for us! Absolutely every question was answered in their detailed information sheet -- we didn't struggle with anything. The home itself is VERY clean and well supplied with everything we may have needed over the weekend. The location of the condo is perfect -- secure in its own gated complex. We were able to walk to several things in our itinerary (the famous Rainey street and Historic 6th street are very close). It is also very easy to get to and from the airport. I would definitely recommend this place!
4047528,51062321,2015-10-17,33977222,Mitali,"A little different this time around. I was here for work with 2 co-workers rather than for pleasure. The place is well decorated, comfortable, the showers with great water pressure & they took care of the basics.  It's hard to beat the location with a parking space.  The key less entry made it so easy to get in and out with the 3 of us.  The hosts were extremely responsive, professional, provided really good recommendations & were willing to get the apartment ready for an early check-in.  They send you a long list of instructions, so everything is pretty much answered for you - it's easy. 

But if you are staying here for work, keep in mind, the loft space has 2 queen beds but it's totally open, both bathroom are located downstairs, and the living room is a bit small.  It made it difficult to work at the table for 6 of us.  I would definitely stay here again but not for work."
4047528,51791784,2015-10-24,1212044,Samantha,We had a great experience staying at Ryan's condo! It's very spacious and clean. The condo is conveniently located-right next door to the convention center and just a few blocks from Rainey St. We needed two parking spaces and Ryan was able to accommodate us which was great because parking is very expensive downtown! Ryan also gave us a bottle of wine.
4047528,52817548,2015-11-02,36747317,Carol,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it was wonderful. Hopefully my future bookings will be as good as this one. The condo was clean, spacious, and the instructions Ryan gave us were very clear and concise so we had no issues entering and leaving the condo, finding the garage gate clicker, etc. The parking spot was close to the unit and to our surprise there was plenty of street parking. It was pretty cheap especially compared to San Francisco prices! The condo was located conveniently near 6th street so there were plenty of bars within walking distance. Ryan, the host was very responsive and answered us immediately if we had any questions."
5422760,36848490,2015-07-01,10591684,Mark,The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5422760,42151442,2015-08-11,37169499,Jennifer,"My stay at Elisa's bungalow was wonderful.  She left food in the refrigerator, and generously provided all the necessary accoutrements for a fabulous stay in Austin.  The house is very conveniently located to downtown and UT, and is on a peaceful, quiet street with friendly neighbors. Elisa is a very attentive hostess.  She always replied quickly to any question I had.   I very highly recommend staying here!"
321636,938825,2012-02-21,1017354,Matt And Adrian,"Jay & Sara put a lot of heart into renovating this vintage trailer and it shows. The place is just plain fun to stay in, and Sara told me a little about the trailer's fascinating history. Fridge came stocked with beer, clean sheets on the bed, dogs to pet, and a short drive from East 6th St. 

Jay & Sara also are very cool people and know a lot about Austin and the eastside neighborhood. I highly recommend a stay in their Spartanette.  "
321636,1002153,2012-03-15,1006540,Jay,"Sara was super accommodating, and the spartanette was awesome! Coffee and muffins for the morning, beers in the fridge for the evening, not too far from downtown Austin. Couldn't have been better!"
321636,1086283,2012-04-05,1881252,Ana,"We had a great stay here during our four day visit to Austin.  The Spartanette itself was exceptionally clean and warm feeling, and Sara's complete refurbish of the trailer is extremely well done.  The neighborhood is awesome and felt very safe; we slept with the windows and doors open (screen doors closed) every night to enjoy the light breeze and freshness of the garden.  Sara and her husband were friendly and helpful, with useful suggestions about where to eat, etc.  I would recommend this place to anyone."
321636,1138363,2012-04-16,854774,Natasha,"Sara was an amazing host and the Spartanette was incredible.  We stayed in Austin for the weekend and then headed out to Marfa, using the Spartanette as our main hub.  The property is like a dream.  There was a gorgeous vegetable garden, flowers, chikens etc...  The trailer is vintage with a modern flare and a photographers playground.  Sara made us really comfortable and gave us great tips for eating in Austin.  This is the only place I will stay when I return to Austin!"
321636,1212764,2012-05-01,2183166,Holly,"The Spartanette Guesthouse was fantastic and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay -- including air conditioning!  Sara was so sweet to give us lots of recommendations on great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. She even welcomed us with a plate of fresh fruit, bottled water and a 6-pack of the local brew.  I would definitely recommend staying here! "
321636,1238726,2012-05-07,1890928,Erica,"This place was utterly amazing!  Not only was it comfortable and beautiful, the hosts were great to interact with.  I lived in Austin for years and had friends there.  The hosts not only made me feel welcomed, but also the friends I had stop by.  Great!  I may just stay here again! "
321636,1267969,2012-05-12,2245963,Fabien,"I just had a great week in that place. Sara has been a great host and I was well taken care of. 

The Spartanette is awesome and very comfortable. It's very quiet too, it's a very livable place. You can really see and appreciate the amount of work they put on it.

I already booked for a second stay."
321636,1328896,2012-05-22,2205864,Clint,"The Spartanette guest house stay was perfect.  Exactly the kind of ""laid back experience we were looking for.  The location is tucked away but really near 35 and that made stepping out easy.  The AC worked really well and we slept like logs on a really comfortable mattress.  Extra bonus feature for me was the aux jack for the stereo.   The all wood interior made  my music sound like it was coming out of a vintage speaker.  We used the Spartanette as a jump off point for a wedding and it was perfect.  Can't wait to stay there again."
321636,1351054,2012-05-26,2165306,Lana,"We loved the Spartanette!  The design and decor are great, and the living area and bed are really comfy. There is a great sound system set up, so we were able to relax to music from our iPhone.  Given the usual Austin heat, we had worried about the place being too warm, but the A/C did a great job of keep us cool. The garden is beautiful as well.  Our hosts were attentive and helpful, but also gave us complete privacy.  They even stocked the refrigerator with sparkling wine, half & half, and bottled water.  The location was great for us, and there were good restaurants in the area.  If you really want to feel like you've landed in Austin, I highly recommend staying here.  "
321636,1383406,2012-05-30,104258,Julie,"I cannot speak highly enough of this host or the spartan!!!  We went down to Austin just to hang out and spend some time away from our busy schedules and this was a true delight.  We were able to go to the Wheatsville CoOp grocery, pick up some great food and snacks.  Sara had beer and some other great refreshments in the trailer already.  The shower was fantastic, the bed was very comfortable, and the space was a great blend of vintage and modern.  The YARD! was an oasis!  and did not feel like you were in their back yard, we enjoyed dinner and cocktails on the patio.  The aux. jack in the trailer so we could listen to our own music was another bonus.  It was warm the weekend we were there and the AC was perfect!  Again, thank you Sara and we very much look forward to staying here again soon!"
321636,1621912,2012-07-03,2501403,Cassandra,"We had a fantastic time staying in the Spartanette!!! Sara was a WONDERFUL host!! The property is fantastic and the modern redesign of the trailer is incredible. On arrival there was beer in the fridge, a nice fruit platter and two welcoming dogs. The backyard and patio is great for hanging out with friends- lots of shade and the AC will cool the place down in no time. The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of street parking. I highly recommend the Spartenette and we will definitely be staying there on our next visit to Austin."
321636,1743974,2012-07-18,286545,Yuriy,"We were so excited to find this on airbnb. We stayed in Sara's Spartanette for 3 days and loved it. We booked very last minute and arrived quite late but were greeted warmly by Sara. She gave us a little tour of everything which was very helpful. Their were fresh fruit and cold drinks/beer in the fridge. They did an amazing job of remodeling the interoir, and the decor is perfect. The bed was great, shower worked great, kitchen was very useful and the couch was a nice area to hang out and read a book or just listen to the the awesome surround sound that they have setup. Sara was also very helpful with recommendations and always easy to get a hold of if we needed something

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
321636,1781512,2012-07-23,2277155,Stuart,"Stay here! The trailer has everything you would want in a BnB. The interior is very beautiful and offers AC, shower, great sound system, and a very comfortable bed. Privacy is not a problem here.

Although in someone's backyard, we had no problem getting in and out of the trailer. The dogs were usually roaming the backyard but paid very little attention to us (mostly shy). "
321636,2045351,2012-08-20,3165236,Jerome,Sara was great she made sure my wife and I needed anything without intruding. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a hotel alternative and do it austin style. Great location close to pretty much everything. 
321636,2283121,2012-09-14,3321265,Scott,Awesome place to stay.  Friendly hosts and friendly dogs.  We could walk to a couple cool things in the neighborhood.  Sara made sure that our stay was comfortable.  
321636,2338960,2012-09-18,3493486,Francisco,"Needed a place to stay in Austin for the weekend and was glad to stumble upon the Spartanette. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and expectations were definitely met. The Spartanette provided a very cool and unique way to spend a weekend. I am very much looking forward to a return trip and this will most assuredly be where I stay the next go around! Highly recommend this ""one of a kind"" stay, especially to anyone looking to change it up a little. "
321636,2390511,2012-09-24,3044315,Anjali,"The Spartanette was a perfect fit for me and my boyfriend on our recent weekend stay in Austin. The property was beautiful, clean and full of character. If you're looking for a private place to stay with a friendly host, Sara and the Spartanette will be great for you, too. I highly recommend it!

Sara was easily accessible by text to answer any of our questions and made us feel right at home. We enjoyed that patio and the hammock in the back yard, and loved drinking our morning coffee among the sound of roosters. 
"
321636,2505033,2012-10-04,3471206,Angela,"Sara has impeccable taste and the Spartanette was just as stylish as the pictures show.  Set in a huge backyard, you in no way feel as if you are an interloper in someome else's home space.  It's an oasis surrounded by trees, flowers and the intermittent sounds of roosters.  The perfect location for total relaxation with the accessiblity to great restaurants and nightlife, if you so desire.  Sara was a great hostess, making herself available while giving guests privacy.  Highly recommend!!"
321636,2540104,2012-10-08,3413902,Jack,"We were extremely happy with the Spartanette. Aestherically, it was a really cool: funky vintage on the outside, and chic modern furniture on the inside. It was the perfect size for two people, and the space was organized very well. Good air–conditioning, heating system, speaker system, clean bathroom, etc.

Sara was also a great host, outfitting the trailer with everything we needed and adding things at our request.

She also has a really cool backyard, and it was a lot of fun spending time in it. They have urban chickens, pomegranate trees, and a beautiful flower garden. 

Lastly, we found the spot convenient for getting to the UT campus, and to any of the cool restaurants and bars in East Austin.

For $75 a night, I would gladly do this again.   "
321636,2665151,2012-10-20,3520855,Anita,"I wasn't really sure what to expect when I booked the Spartanette.  When I'm Austin I would usually stay at the Saint Cecilia or the San Jose, but recent personal budget cuts prompted me to explore other options... and I'm so glad I did!  I absolutely loved staying in the Spartanette. The rebuild they did in the trailer is great, very comfortable, and, yes, chic.  Sara is a wonderful host and the setting is lovely and convenient.  I look forward to booking the Spartanette for future trips!"
321636,2811276,2012-11-05,861991,Daniel,"I loved my time at the Spartanette!  Check-in was easy and Sara was very welcoming. The Spartanette was breathtaking and the property was stunning (...and I've stayed at a lot of Airbnb's!).  Sara's taste is impeccable :) I really enjoyed saying hello to her chickens and dogs whenever I left or arrived. At first I was intimated by her pooches, but after I got to say howdy up close-and-personal they were irresistible! The neighborhood is off the beaten path, yet has a great coffee shop and delicious restaurants a few blocks North. The bed and sofa are very comfortable, everything was clean. The sound system makes for a fun time! If you're looking for a unique place to crash and win major style points-- this is the place for you!"
321636,2842046,2012-11-08,861991,Daniel,I was having so much fun that I missed my flight and stayed for 3 more days!
321636,2925267,2012-11-20,72721,Joy,"Staying in Sara & Jay's Spartanette is as fantastically unique as East Side Austin. You want for nothing at this private residence: heater, microwave, toaster oven, fridge, coffee maker, hot water, comfy bed, warm blankets, cozy couch, squishy towels, cable tv, outside seating, quiet safe yard with two sweetly shy dogs, easy connections to Capital Metro bus or rail, coffee shop in walking distance and amazing hosts!!! Sara checks in to see if you need anything, she has great suggestions on places to check out and there are cold Lone Stars in the frige. My boyfriend and I were in Austin for 5nights to attend the Formula 1 Circut of the Americas inaugural race and found peaceful respite in the Sparanette between our events. It really is an ideal location for exploring Austin or hiding out for some R&R. I will happily recommend Sara & Jay's place to all my friends and shout it's praise to all AirB&B users :) you won't find nicer people to stay with and all the photos clearly describe what you experience in this fantastic Spartanette. "
321636,2991674,2012-11-29,3305055,Jennifer,"Stayed in Sara's Spartanette while in Austin for two nights.  Sara had lots of great recommendations for places to check out in the neighborhood, and the Spartanette felt pretty private.  She had left coffee supplies and a few goodies in the fridge.  The Spartanette got a little cold for the winter, but there were space heaters and extra blankets.  The decoration of the property was chic! Recommended!"
321636,3126822,2012-12-20,2532880,Ruby,"The Spartanette was every bit as beautiful as described. Although tiny it had every amenity we required (the shower is awesome!) and Sara was a wonderful host. She was so available and was always at hand if we needed help. Her two dogs seems scarey at first but as soon as your in the gate they are the most adorable and gentle pups so don't be afraid! The area is quiet so you're ensured a peaceful night's rest. 

We just fell in love with Austin and we have the Spartanette and Sara to add to our list of wonderful experiences in this part of the world!  "
321636,3188935,2012-12-30,4317749,Catherine,"The Spartanette was such a treat! Beautiful and clean, with all the amenities we needed. Sara is an excellent host. We enjoyed walking to nearby restaurants and easy access to downtown Austin. Although temps were near freezing, the space heaters were more than adequate to keep us cozy. 

We did have some difficulty sleeping soundly the first night because we heard the heater cycling on/off and some noises outside, like acorns falling on the roof. Second night was great, probably because we were used to the environment and modified the heater settings!

I highly recommend the Spartanette to anyone looking for a fun, unique secluded retreat in East Austin."
321636,3297300,2013-01-07,377560,Paul,"Great hosts, great city, great Spartanette! Definitely one of the most unique and enjoyable Airbnb experiences we have had yet. Sara was a wonderful host offering us her hospitality (providing us with drinks and a bottle of champagne upon arrival) as well as many local recommendations. The Spartanette is surprisingly spacious and superbly remodeled and decorated. We ended up bringing our own bicycles which made the East Austin location perfect for exploring all parts of the city. Overall we had a great experience and will not hesitate to stay in the Spartanette the next time we are in Austin."
321636,3349781,2013-01-14,2112799,Dayna,This was one of the most unique and enjoyable Airbnb experiences. The vintage trailer was amazing. Remodeled and designed beautifully. It was the perfect stay for a weekend getaway to Austin. Sara was a great host. She was there to great us and took time to make sure we were settled in. I would highly recommend staying here!
321636,3396215,2013-01-22,376352,David,"Great place - very cool. We had plenty of room for the two of us, and it was quite pleasant."
321636,3423937,2013-01-27,138024,Matt,"Sara was a great host, very helpful with the local ""scene"" and her place is super cool!"
321636,3437584,2013-01-29,4019675,Maryalice,"Sara is a very accommodating and lovely host. We felt very comfortable and at home in the Spartanette and appreciated the time Sara took to explain some of its history and welcome us to her home. It is such a unique environment she has created - definitely a memorable stay! There was no weirdness as is sometimes the case in Airbnb rentals where the owners are there on premise - we had perfect privacy and came and went as we pleased without being made to feel like we were inconveniencing anyone. Loved the roosters crowing in the morning and her dogs were absolutely gorgeous and well behaved - a real treat.

Logistically, the home was in a perfect location - close to the airport and centrally located to all amenities which was ideal for me since I was there prepping for a work event, not on vacation. The wifi at the Spartanette worked perfectly and without a hitch - which I really rely on and was very satisfied with. 

All in all, a great place to stay and I'd definitely return next time I'm in Austin!"
321636,3466841,2013-02-03,3713949,David,"When I picked Austin as my main destination in Texas I knew I wanted something other than your average room.  As soon as I saw the Spartanette I knew it was the place for me.

Although small, there's more practical space than if you just booked a room - and for me on my own I didn't really need anything else.  Comfy sofa, great wireless internet, and beers in the fridge :)

Sara was an amiable host even though I inadvertedly let one of her dogs escape on my first day!  The dogs have an expected growl to a stranger when you first arrive, but once you're settled in they really just leave you alone.  Likewise, once settled, I didn't need to contact Sara for much else.

Location is a central suburb with buses, although I did use my car and taxi as the fare wasn't expensive.  You could walk I guess, but it might take a little while.

It's not your typical room, but is is vey Austin!!"
321636,3507747,2013-02-10,4604180,Beth,What a great place to stay. Cute and comfortable. The rooster at 3:48 was the only thing maybe could have been quieter. The dogs were sweet and the backyard was peaceful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
321636,3624901,2013-02-26,4911934,Jesse,"Sara's guesthouse was idyllic and was the perfect way to spend a weekend in Austin.  The backyard is a wonderful place to hang out, and the interior is immaculately decorated and full of charming details that were fun to discover throughout the stay.  It felt safe, comfortable, and relaxing, and was a very nice place to return to after a day of exploring.  The hosts made everything extremely easy and smooth, and I loved the hounds loping around the yard and stopping by to sniff hello at times.  I would definitely go back and highly recommend it."
321636,3641390,2013-02-26,5150164,Grace,"I wanted to surprise my husband for our 10 year anniversary in Austin and chose to stay somewhere unique.  Boy was he surprised.  Sara was a great host.  She was super nice and was kind to give us our space.  We really enjoyed staying in the Spartanette.  It was very private and set the mood for our trip.  Also, the location was very close to downtown so it wasn't difficult at all to drive to dinner and bars on 6th street.  "
321636,3651307,2013-02-27,5191643,John,Sara is a great host and her Spartan camper is fantastic.  She left two bottles of water and coffee for me.  The camper is as good or better than the pictures.  It also has a stereo built in which makes for good chilling.  Highly recommended if you like original and cool spots.  It is also powered completely by the sun.  
321636,3689110,2013-03-04,5080422,Syslee & Tai,"What a great trip to Austin! This was the first time we had used Airbnb and boy were we surprised. When we arrived Sara and her dogs came out to greet us. After a quick tour of the Spartanette we sat on the patio to relax...with cold drinks from the well stocked fridge. Awe! 
Sara is the perfect host. It was handy to just be able to text her if we needed anything. She gave us some great recommendations for good eats and things to do around town. 
The Spartanette is the perfect Austin hide-away. It's a cozy, clean, and just the right distance from town. We enjoyed discovering all the sweet little objects we found around the trailer. We have fond memories of our weekend in Austin and can't wait to come back. Thank you, Sara!

The trailer was adorable, well appointed and had all you need for a comfortable stay. Sara provided info before and was helpful while we were there. There was a slight problem with the AC and it was fixed immediately. Nice neighborhood, some really nice restaurants, bars, and coffee shops within walking distance. All in all a great first experience and we look forward to using AirBnB again. Thanks Sara!!!!"
321636,4124179,2013-04-12,2803015,Jacqui,"Sara's airstream was fantastic - a really unique and quirky place from which to base your adventures in Austin. Her recommendations for local places to eat were spot on & the cold beer in the fridge couldn't have been more welcome! While we enjoyed the walk into town and were more than happy to get around on foot/by bus, if you're feeling less than energetic it may be worth hiring a car. All in all a fantastic stay in Austin - I couldn't recommend the spartanette more highly!"
321636,4160372,2013-04-15,5211756,Sean,"What a great place to stay in Austin!  The interior of the Spartanette has been beautifully restored and modernized with lots of thoughtful touches.  It's clear that a lot of thought was put into making the Spartanette a good comfortable place to stay as opposed to just being slapped together on the cheap in order to make a quick buck on tourists.  Sara, our host, was very hospitable and was able to provide some good local knowledge and recommendations.  The property is great; the Spartanette is located in a very large backyard and the neighborhood is very quiet at night.  That combined with a super comfy bed in the Spartanette = good sleeping.  Everything was as described on airbnb; there were no unpleasant surprises.  I'd highly recommend the Spartanette as a very ""Austin"" place to stay - and way more interesting and charming than a typical bland hotel room.  It made the trip that much more memorable and unique (in a good way!).  Don't hesitate to book a stay here."
321636,4200804,2013-04-17,3399568,Justin,This is one of the most unique gems to stay at in Austin. I would highly recommend this beautiful Spartanette to all! Not only is Sara a lovely host she is very accommodating and shows true Southern Hospitality. I will be a return visitor to this Beauty!
321636,4286949,2013-04-24,4196470,Nicholas,"Really sweet spot! Sara is a great host, very friendly and laid-back, but responsive.  Amazing backyard and stylish, comfortable accommodations.  Would love to have stayed longer.   "
321636,4302683,2013-04-26,5439848,Terree,"Wow! What a wonderful, funky, artistic place. Sara was a wonderful host. From the great coffee and fresh cream to the cold Lone Stars in the fridge, her vintage Spartenette was a wonderful place for the two of us to stay. We loved it all, even the small size was just cozy and not at all claustrophobic. We took advantage of some nearby establishments Sara recommended and were happy with them all. Mi Madre was fabulous for dinner-within easy walking distance, live music, great food and excellent margaritas!  With out a doubt we will stay at the Spartenette the next time Austin is our destination."
321636,4483628,2013-05-07,5473921,Aasim,"Sara's Spartanette is beautiful. It was a really great option for a secluded stay with a kitchen and really great porch .

Sara was very responsive and accommodating throughout the weekend, so highly recommend her as a host. I'd definitely stay again. "
321636,4701469,2013-05-21,5204949,Heather,"Oh my goodness. I wish I could rate our stay as a 100 STAR experience! You will find no greater area with more charm, whimsy, or oozing with such love & warmth! We fell in love with Sara & Jay from Portland! We loved their asethetic, and they lived in a similar neighborhood with a similar lifestyle as we do here in our neighborhood in Portland, so we felt completely at HOME! Sara was amazing! She was so keenly aware of making sure that that spacious backyard and patio in front of the Spartanette was so peaceful, secluded, and it felt like it was just us! However, our only regret on our trip was not to have been able to spend more time with them! They gave us amazing recommendations! When we met Austinites, they were so impressed with where we were staying when we showed them pictures! Austinites were even writing down her info to book stays there! The Spartanette was spacious and felt roomy, yet cozy! The bed was SO amazing! The  sheets felt like hotel quality! TONS of storage space, so your floor space is free! The bathroom was FAR more spacious than it looks! The shower was amazing! Great pressure! And, my 6'4"" husband never had an issue with height inside the Spartanette ever! Sara had freshly ground coffee waiting in our kitchen area, with honey & sugar, beer in the fridge, and cream for coffee! Don't worry about the rooster, I barely noticed him awaking the day...and, their dogs are so sweet, and don't really have a lot of personal contact with people...they keep to themselves, so if you're nervous of dogs, don't be of these two brothers!! The couch and TV area was totally unexpected and amazing! They even had saved shows and movies you were able to watch! BONUS: They had the latest Game of Thrones for us to keep up with! SCORE! So rad!!! The fridge and microwave made it awesome to chill around the Spartanette and not needing to go out for every meal! The Wet Whistle Grocery nearby is amazing & quirky! The 24 hr. cafe nearby had amazing Banh Mi Sandwiches and of course caffeine! We loved the neighborhood! Not with downtown douchbag-types...just with SUPER RAD Austin folks! Took us only 5 or so minutes to get most places we went! The air conditioning worked well! We were never uncomfortable! Even had an extra fan too! This place MADE our stay in Austin what it was!!! BEST DECISION EVER! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! We'll be back for sure!!! With our kid! {smile} THANK YOU SARA & JAY! YOU'RE SUPER RAD FOLKS!!!!! High Fives all around!!"
321636,4778162,2013-05-25,6375198,Brooke,"We loved the Spartanette! It was set up towards the back of the yard, so it felt private. It was a cozy little oasis close to downtown. Sara sent us in the right direction when we arrived-there are some neat places popping up on the East side of Austin to get a drink or a great dinner. Everything the other have said is true. She thinks of lots of the little details-beer in the fridge and milk for (fresh ground) coffee. It was really lovely. We would stay again in a heartbeat. The shower is bigger than expected for such a compact space. "
321636,4826493,2013-05-28,2674802,Cori,"Fun, funky Austin place. Lovely host. Gave us Lone Star and fresh-ground coffee - what more could you need?"
321636,4960307,2013-06-04,1186594,Jessica,"This spot was just what was needed during a hectic weekend in Austin. Basically the chillest location/accommodations imaginable. The dogs loping about the property, chickens cooing in their sweet coop, beautifully lit patio for lounging at the end of the day, fantastic vegetable and herb garden... and that's all outside. Inside is wonderfully outfitted; the couch and bed are super comfortable, there's plenty of room for two people to go about their business without bumping into each other, and the fridge provides a pleasant welcome by being stocked w/ Lone Star. Sara was super nice and helpful; even with an extensive flight delay on my end, she was able to make sure I got settled in  with a comprehensive walkthrough regarding how everything worked, and checked in with me via text during my trip to see if I needed anything. Not a super long walk to downtown if you are a city person used to walking everywhere, but would recommend taking a cab back at night. I will definitely try to book here again next time I am in Austin!"
321636,5126696,2013-06-14,727902,Jennifer,"What a relief, the Spartanette and property was exactly as the photos/description illustrated. No surprises put us at ease immediately. And the 6-pack of Lone Star didn't hurt either. It was easy-peasy to stay at this perfectly located property—and access to Sarah's outdoor space allowed us to have a few pals over for a low-key fete. Score!"
321636,5211397,2013-06-18,4930393,Christopher,Sara is a wonderful hostess. She was available at all times of night and day and the space was comfortable for a short trip. 
321636,5287196,2013-06-22,6865342,Victoria,"Sara's place is a dream!  The Spartanette is exactly as it looks in the photos -- chic, unique, and fun.  The whole property is fantastic, with a gorgeous patio and garden.  Also, Sara's dogs are so beautiful and sweet.  It was a wonderful experience!"
321636,5339570,2013-06-25,5540725,Amber,"My sister and I were visiting Austin for 3 nights and we wanted something a little different to a hotel that was still modern.  This was such a perfect choice as neither of us had stayed in a spartan/airstream before.  Sara picked us up from the airport and gave us a warm welcome, complete with a 6 pack of cold lone star beer ready in the fridge.  The bungalow was clean, modern and had all the amenities you would find in a hotel..the bed was comfy too.  It was the perfect base as we were mostly out during the day and a lot of evenings due to the warm weather.  The garden is big and nice to roam around with their 2 beautifully gentle squirrel obsessed dogs.  We would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a laid back experience.  Next time we visit, I think we will get a car as it is in quite a residential area 25 min walk to the cooler bars/restaurants."
321636,5484184,2013-07-02,105579,Kelsey,"Our recent stay at Sara and Jay's cozy trailer was absolutely perfect. The weather in Austin was sweltering, but we were so taken care of in every way it barely registered. Our hosts' hospitality and genuine welcome felt attentive without being excessively so. They will definitely be the first people we call when we're next in Austin!"
321636,5538895,2013-07-05,5381273,Merryn,Sara's airstreamer was just what we hoped. It' location was very good-very close to Downtown and it had a few eating spots within walking distance that were very nice. Sara welcomed us on arrival and ran us thru the workings of the van. She was also kind enough to allow us to use her washing machine. The airstreamer itself is very comfortable and the bed and shower were very good. The outdoor area was lovely and we had brekky there each morning and a drink in the evening. Very comfortable
321636,5629851,2013-07-08,7284019,Sara,"I had a fantastic stay at Sara's.  This was my first time using Airbnb, and based on this experience I can't wait to try it again.  The Spartanette is super cool - they did a great job on the remodel.  I stayed there by myself and I had tons of space - it felt like I had a nice little studio apartment.  The sofa and bed are very comfortable, there's plenty of storage space for clothes, and a good amount of counter space in the bathroom for toiletries.  I was there in July and the AC did a great job of keeping the place cool.  The property is very nice, with a path that leads around back to the Spartanette.  I felt like I was able to come and go without bothering anyone in the main house.  I had a rental car, and it was easy to park on the street and get downtown in just a couple minutes.

Sara was there when I arrived and gave me a detailed tour of the place and a few suggestions for local things to do.  I'd highly recommend staying here!"
321636,6838861,2013-08-26,3244882,Brandon,"Sara was very accommodating! She met us there to give us the tour, and had ground coffee and Lone Stars available as in the other reviews. The A/C unit worked great, the area was out of the way from the house, the dogs were friendly, and the style points were awesome. If you're looking for something unique, this is it. I'll be recommending it for my friends. 
Oh, and thank you to whoever set the DVR to record Breaking Bad & True Blood!"
321636,6901654,2013-08-29,890085,Omar,"I could not have imagined a better host for my stay in Austin. Sara is by far one of the most down-to-Earth, approachable, helpful people I have ever met through AirBnB. 

She offered to pick me up from the airport and got me settled into my place quickly and easily. When I arrived, there was even a six-pack of Lone Star ready to go in the fridge. What could be better?She invited me over for drinks and conversation with her husband and friend later that evening.

Seriously, I can not say enough good things about Sara and her place. And I haven't even mentioned her awesome dogs. 

If you're coming to Austin, you owe it to yourself to stay at this place and get the true Austin experience. I will certainly be back.

"
321636,7060580,2013-09-05,4122704,Rachael,"The little Spartanette is perfect, period. Clean, sleek furnishings, comfy bed and lovely hosts. Sara accommodated me super last minute and, even with so little notice, stocked the trailer with her signature Lonestar and coffee. The new ductless AC works like a charm for hot Austin summers. The trailer is a great size for solo ventures, but would also be quaint for couples. The perfect getaway for my productive and fun weekend! "
321636,7065185,2013-09-05,1623785,Ariel,"Unique, comfortable space - Sara is an AMAZING host who is happy to help you around Austin.  The backyard is beautiful and the trailer is just beautiful inside. We loved the WIFI and movie channels too after a day of exploring. "
321636,7305583,2013-09-15,4258819,Mark,The Spartan was amazing! Surprisingly spacious. Totally chill vibe with a great location close to everything amazing in Austin. Sara was super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property to anyone else who is cool enough stay in a trailer.
321636,7381257,2013-09-17,6134970,Frank,Great hosts!  Very accommodating.  Thumbs up!
321636,7479800,2013-09-22,89845,Melanie," The Spartanette was  awesome for our 3 day stay!  Clean, comfortable, quiet!  Sara was awesome to check on us by text when there was a monsoon in Austin - great stay and will recommend.  Btw, the dogs are awesome!"
321636,7911085,2013-10-07,9242578,Tom,"The 53 Spartanette was wonderful. It is very comfortable. The bed was excellent. We sat in the beautiful garden/patio in the evening  and had a glass of wine. Coffee on the patio in the cool Austin morning the next day and a great breakfast nearby based on Sara's recommendation.
The neighborhood is cool and funky and nice. Sara and Jay are great hosts. We recommend it highly. We will be back. Tom and Kathy"
321636,8129608,2013-10-17,6457610,Josh,"Sara and Jay are excellent hosts. They are friendly, helpful and genuinely welcoming. They are happy both to let you enjoy your stay and privacy or get involved and have a beer and a chat. I recommend staying in the East Aust hideout!"
321636,8442593,2013-10-31,492139,Sara,Loved everything about our stay in the Spartan. The trailer is a great escape from the norm and the aesthetics are top notch. Jay and Sara were outrageously friendly and warm. Hope to see them and the pups soon!
321636,8686134,2013-11-12,8537248,Anna,"Sara & Jay (plus Crash & Darby) were absolutely amazing hosts, and I had a wonderful time staying in the Spartanette. The experience was pretty much everything I could have hoped for, from arriving to find fresh mint & flowers in the living room to a fridge stocked with beer, to the colorful and cosy wool blankets on the bed. I especially loved that Sara was available by text anytime I needed her, but the trailer and backyard were all mine. The entire time I felt like I was at a private spa retreat, only minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Austin but able to just get away and chill at the trailer as much as I needed. I can't wait to go back and visit again!"
321636,8811395,2013-11-19,1588962,Peter,"Stayed here for 3 nights and had a great time.  The guesthouse is great - the inside is completely renovated and is more comfortable than you'd guess.  I'm 6'2"", and while parts where a tight, it was not uncomfortable.  The AC works quickly and cools the place down in a few minutes.  There's a spacious yard that you can sit in and enjoy a few of the Lone Stars that are in the fridge when you arrive.  We didn't have a fire while we were there, but it was an option that Sara set up for us.  There are plenty of places to walk to for food and drinks, several buses that run to downtown from there and you can even walk all the way to downtown in a little over 30 minutes.  

I highly recommend this place if you're staying in Austin - especially if you're looking for one of the more unique Airbnbs out there.  "
321636,8898419,2013-11-25,8917282,Jake,We loved our stay!! It was very private and adventurous. My wife and I got to spend a rainy weekend in the cozy spartanette.  Sara was an excellent host! Very willing to help but provided us with space too. Everything was beyond our expectations! We could not have been happier!
321636,9328187,2013-12-21,9294410,David,The reservation was canceled 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
321636,9368700,2013-12-24,4351222,Samantha,"Staying at Sara's  Spartanette was an A+ experience. I was very impressed by all the love and care she'd put into the place and how nice it looked inside. The bed was to die for, I got some seriously amazing sleep on that bed which I was not expecting.

Sara was very courteous about guiding me to her location and explaining all the ins and outs to about the airstream. Her space is somewhat of a farmstead paradise. There are chickens quietly tucked away in the yard, two lovely pups that are adorable and a huge airstream. I feel like Sara knows how to live. I didn't get to spend much time with her due to my work load a week before the holidays but I appreciated how hard she's worked to make such a lovely space and how attentive she was to my needs as a guest. 

I think anyone wanting a few unique days in Austin would love renting Sara's Spartanette. Its very close to downtown but doesn't feel like its situated in a country oasis. I would love to stay here again!"
321636,9730102,2014-01-06,2978794,Elizabeth,"The spartanette was super cute and well equipped with everything we needed. Sara told us about all the cool places to hang out in Austin and left us to do our own thing. Our only complaint was that you can hear everything from inside the trailer. There was a loud party going on the night we were there as well as sirens and general city noises  so it was not as peaceful and quiet as we had hoped. Free beer, coffee, and topo chico was nice. It's definitely a unique experience. Thanks!"
321636,9957643,2014-01-21,8739030,Richard,Our stay in the Spartanette was awesome. Definitely a unique Austin experience!
321636,10167990,2014-02-03,11726086,Kendra,"This was our very first time booking on airbnd! What an awesome experience! The Spartanette was immaculate! Charming neighborhood with idyllic backyard perfect for just chilling. We made a quick trip to see our daughter at UT and it was 2 minutes from her dorm! Sara and hubs and pups and chicks were awesome, just the right amount of interaction...left us to enjoy ourselves. Slept like a baby and we will definitely be back!"
321636,10537778,2014-02-24,2663047,Carole,"We loved the Spartanette, it was cosy, really nicely
done up inside and the backyard was great for hanging out. Sara was really helpful and laid back, and gave us lots of good suggestions for places to eat and drink nearby.
We will definitely be returning."
321636,10716388,2014-03-04,6383366,Kerry,The Spartan is THE BEST EVER! I loved everything about this experience. The airstream is beautiful and unique. Sara was awesome. The yard and neighborhood were great. 
321636,10917187,2014-03-13,6858942,Justin,The Spartanette was a great find... Its a very comfortable spot in a very convenient neighborhood for accessing downtown Austin and UT. The bed was very comfortable and Sara was a great host! Recommend!
321636,11214815,2014-03-25,2722684,Adam,"It was (email hidden)e Spartan is awesome, and Sara is a great host!"
321636,11336659,2014-03-30,13315723,Jackie,This is a fun and comfortable place to stay in Austin- nice people and nice dogs too.  Sara is super organized and very nice.  Wa are looking forward to returning the next time we are in town.
321636,11399803,2014-04-01,8336114,Kerrisa,"Sara was a perfect host! Her home is absolutely beautiful, the backyard is a sanctuary and her pups are as sweet as can be! All the time and detail shows in their design. This lovingly restored Spartanette was stocked with cold lonestar, topo chico and yummy coffee. We hosted a little backyard movie night and they could not have been move accommodating! "
321636,11795960,2014-04-15,12295467,Mindy,loved it all!
321636,12338776,2014-04-29,12702781,Kikie,"LOVED this space. It was very relaxing and simple. Sara and Jay were great! For being in someone's back yard, it seemed very private! I was able to come and go as I pleased. Their yard was awesome; I especially liked the chicken habitat, the grass couch, & the stone/metal fence!!! And the Spartanette speaks for itself...plus the bed was extremely comfortable. I will definitely stay again when in Austin.    ~Kikie  "
321636,12424312,2014-05-02,8120929,Lilli,"This Spartanette was so lovely! Perfect size for two, air con, cute kitchen and shower and heaps of telly channels. Really super cosy and private and close to some great coffee shops and a short drive to 6th street. We loved our stay in Austin here :) "
321636,12889118,2014-05-13,8466724,Gene,I have been on tour for ten months and this is hands down the coolest place I have stayed!  Sara and Jay are great people and their Spatanette trailer is so comfortable. The trailer is located about a five minute drive from 6th St and maybe ten to South Congress. There is a ton do in their area as well. I had a great time grabbing some drinks and food at Haymakers. If you get a chance definitely stay here!
321636,13024179,2014-05-17,9785974,Katy,"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at Sara's! The weather was absolutely beautiful, so we didn't need to use the A/C or the space heater, though both were high quality and fully functioning. Sara was very nice and available, and made us feel welcome without smothering us. Upon our arrival, she gave us a quick and thorough tour of the Spartanette and her property, which was awesome. Giant live oaks provided plenty of shade over the hammock and outdoor patio at our disposal. The landscaping was rustic and quirky--perfect for a stay in Austin. The trailer was the perfect size for one or two, and she provided coffee, water, a six-pack of lonestar, and topo chico. She has two timid but sweet dogs, who were more like lawn ornaments than playful pups. They are beautiful, quiet, and totally respectful toward humans. The Temperpedic mattress and pillows were very comfortable, and the linens were clean and soft. The location in East Austin was wonderful, too. There are many restaurants, coffee houses, and bars in the neighborhood, as well as a great record store and other little shops. For the price, location, amenities, ambiance, and cleanliness, I don't think you can get much better than Sara's Spartanette."
321636,13089256,2014-05-19,3212338,Sarah,"I booked the Chic 1953 Spartanette for my boyfriend's surprise 30th birthday trip and it couldn't have been more perfect! The Spartanette looks exactly the same in real life as it does in the pictures. It was a very clean, well decorated and comfortable space. Sara was a fantastic host, very friendly, easy to get in touch with and offered great recommendations. Sara and her husband have done an amazing job with their property. The backyard was a tranquil retreat with sitting area, gardens and even a chicken coop. It was so nice waking up every morning to a cool morning breeze and the faint sounds of birds and roosters. The house is situated on a safe street in the Arts Districts. Walking distance to the university and great restaurants / bars. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone interested in getting a real feel for Austin."
321636,13171581,2014-05-20,13781026,Jessie,"We booked last minute with Sara, and she was wonderful and accommodating. Her backyard is very quaint-- the perfect place to sit and have your coffee in the morning. The amenities in the trailer were wonderful. Everything is new and pristine, and she even left beers in the fridge for us! The bed was very comfortable, so we got a great night's sleep. She gave us some wonderful options for dining, and we tried out the nearby Yellow Jacket Social Club-- highly recommend! We had a great experience and would encourage anyone and everyone to book with her."
321636,13404072,2014-05-27,12298746,Julie,"My fiancé and I stayed here for memorial weekend in Austin for my cousin's wedding.  First of all, we love hip/ eclectic East Austin for all it's character and charm.  Sara's place is in a great local for all things East Austin.  The yard is so cute and eclectic with the ""grass couch"", fire pit and chandeliers adorning the tree and rustic covering our little airstream porch.  We just felt right at home.  The AC works great!  The inside is beautiful, minimal and comfortable.  Perfect!  Can't wait to visit a again!"
321636,15328948,2014-07-07,906183,Todd,"This was our best Airbnb experience in the States so far! The hosts are very gracious, flexible and welcoming. The property is incredible; very creative and spacious. There is a separate entrance with a walkway to the trailer, so you can come and go as you please. The trailer was very comfortable and didn't feel cramped at all, including the bathroom (although only one person at a time). Great coffee and eating in easy walking distance. Overall a quintessential Austin experience!"
321636,15782983,2014-07-15,175063,McKenzie,"Sara's space is amazing. The Spartanette is located in her super private backyard surrounded by trees, a garden and chickens! It is obvious she has spend a lot of time creating the space and making it unique and comfortable. There is an ac unit in the trailer that keeps it nice and cool for the super hot Austin temps and it is decorated so nicely. The location is super convenient to downtown and the east side of Austin with great restaurants, bars, etc. Throughout our stay Sara was easy to get in touch with and checked in to make sure if we needed anything. The fridge was also stocked with LoneStar which was a nice touch! There is a small and adorable patio as well where you can have friends over if you would like. I will definitely stay here again next time I am in Austin. "
321636,16129577,2014-07-22,6357675,Kacey,"This is an absolutely wonderful space!  Sara and her husband were very welcoming and accommodating, we felt at home immediately.  The Spartanette was cozy, warm, and comfortable.  The shower was simply amazing - the water pressure was perfect.  Although it is a small space, it was still roomy.  There is plenty of space to unpack comfortably.  The neighborhood was quirky - nice neighbors.  

We highly recommend staying here, I will spreading the word to all of my friends - this is the place to stay in Austin.  "
321636,16484215,2014-07-28,1644143,Kai,"My husband and I wanted a no-fuss, relaxing trip for our third anniversary. Sara's updated Spartanette was a perfect fit. The setting was very private and adorable. We loved the chickens, and the dogs were sweethearts. 

Since we have been to Austin many times, we appreciated not having to venture out of east austin for much of anything. Within a short drive (or even a walk), there's food and entertainment aplenty! But if we did feel the need to experience downtown/S. Congress/etc, it was just a hop and a skip away. It's a cool spot in a convenient location!"
321636,17839284,2014-08-18,17344993,Josh,"Our experience staying in Austin was amazing! Sara and Jay were remarkable hosts and extremely accommodating. The 1953 Spartanette is a dream with great air conditioning, a modern, comfortable setting and plenty of room for 2 people! When we go back to visit, this will be the first place we go to book our stay! We highly recommend you try out this great, and fun way, to experience the great city of Austin!

321636,18748192,2014-08-31,12130799,Julien,Great experience. The stay went seamlessly. We enjoyed the spartanette and the garden + had a chance to chit chat with Sara and Jay. Will consider renting again in the future. 
321636,18883099,2014-09-02,17720747,Joannis,"Sara navigated us precisely to her place and gave us an incredible freedom to move around and enjoy her very tasteful yard. The Spartanette is a blast for anyone with gipsy blood, the next trailer is coming soon! The interpretation of the original interior design is both nice and functional. The designer in us was happy. One is quickly aware of the admirable effort Sara and her husband have undertaken to build a home for themselves and the occasional guest as well. Dinner under the pecan tree is an experience, the chicken and the dogs are sweet."
321636,19246586,2014-09-08,10013315,Tony,"My stay in the '53 Spartanette was awesome.  Communication from Sara was fast and friendly and the place was exactly as described (and very clean).  After staying here I can see why so many people have been so pleased staying in the Spartanette.  The place has amazing charm, Sara has done a fantastic job refurbishing this little gem.  She made me feel at home immediately, showed me everything that I needed to know and had a fridge with Lone Star.  The bed was super comfortable, I slept so well.  The neighborhood is quiet and felt safe with easy access to local destinations you may want to hit.  I wish I could have spent a little more time in the cool backyard.  The two friendly dogs and her chickens just added to the character.  If you see this place and it is available, stay here!  It gives you a good feel of what Austin is all about - a unique place with super friendly and knowledgeable people running it.  I hope I am lucky enough to stay here again."
321636,19450880,2014-09-12,20438908,Brian,"As I prepare to check out in an hour or so, I find myself thinking, ""I don't want to leave!"" Aside from South Congress Books and my discovery of the collage artist Lance Letscher, Sara's trailer is my favorite thing about Austin. I could spend a week just hanging out in the trailer and the gorgeous back yard that it's situated in. Stone patio, hammock, tree swings and tree ladders, campfire pit, garden, chickens, chandeliers hanging from trees: the yard is an event in itself. And so quiet and peaceful! I found it a lovely place to read and write and think over morning coffee and fruit for breakfast. I've slept better in this trailer than I do at home. I could live in this place full-time! The trailer is even better than the pictures suggest. Every element of design and décor is exquisitely chosen. Sara and Jay have impeccable taste, great attention to detail, and they obviously insist on the highest quality materials. They tell me that they're restoring another vintage trailer, and that that one will, ultimately, blow this one away. If that turns out to be true, it'll be a worthy subject for an article in Dwell magazine. I have nothing but praise and no criticism of my stay here. If ever I return to Austin I'll look to Sara & Jay immediately. I'd recommend this place to my best friend, to my mother, to anyone.   "
321636,19549987,2014-09-14,6885220,Alex,"The experience my wife and I had was fantastic. Though Sara was gone for the weekend we traveled, we were able to discuss over the phone any questions we had etc. The modified trailer was amazing and unique! My wife and I fell in love with it right away and it was a perfect getaway. Austin was just down the street and we were able to navigate easily downtown. The weekend we visited rained, but even so, the quiet raindrops hitting the roof of the trailer created a lovely environment to relax. The yard space is very private too which was nice! Thanks Sara and we hope to one day come back and stay again!"
321636,19695951,2014-09-16,20616473,Katie,"Sara met us at the gate to show us in, we were greeted by the dogs and chickens and made to feel very welcome. The Spartanette is very cool, comfortable and provides a memorable stay. The location was great for exploring the East Side, it felt like a proper taste of Austin living.
Sara gave recommendations for local food as well as a bit of two-steppin dancing at the White Horse, which did not disappoint.
Thank you for a great experience!"
321636,19825481,2014-09-19,19369760,Dijana,The Spartanette was completely charming and even more beautiful and comfortable than I ever could have imagined. Sara is a wonderful host – truly one of the most accommodating and genuine people I've met while on holiday. I couldn't recommend this place enough!
321636,19993081,2014-09-21,21495881,Jarod,"The stay was incredible. My wife and I came for our first anniversary and this was our first experience with Air Bnb. Sara was very kind and accommodating and the location is super close to anything you'd want to do in austin. Not to mention, the space is amazing! Beautiful, eclectic backyard and very cool accommodations inside the spartanette. We couldn't be happier with our stay!"
321636,20363902,2014-09-28,17170073,Eb,"Sara's Spartanette is an absolute gem in Austin. The place itself is perfectly decorated, comfortable and also beautiful. I've stayed in boutique hotels that aren't as nice or comfortable. Beers and coffee are stocked, plus the yard is gorgeous and perfect for having guests over (which I didn't but Sara welcomed!) or just enjoying an afternoon. Great coffee shop within walking distance, but otherwise good location if you rent a car, it's super easy to get around. Really loved my stay, can't say enough nice things about Sara or the place. She made sure I was all settled in and was available if I needed her, but also made me feel like I had my own secluded space, which is nice. Next time I'm in Austin I'm definitely staying here again!"
321636,20471736,2014-09-29,13874142,Jeana,Sara was a fantastic host. The neighborhood had a great Austin feel. Our stay was just what the doctor ordered!!
321636,20543327,2014-09-30,19692889,Joanna,"Great experience! The trailer is roomy, comfy, aesthetically pleasing, and in a great location. The yard it sits in is amazing. Seriously. I kinda want to live there. Its a beautiful slice of nature set right In the city. Like a secret Spartanette garden! And! Sara is the perfect host. Super welcoming but keeps her distance if you want a private experience. She provided all the info I needed upon payment and was quick to respond to any texts I sent. The trailer was stocked with everything I needed and even had a microwave and mini fridge...stocked with a 6er of beer. Awesome. I will stay here many more nights to come. "
321636,20678981,2014-10-03,5911966,Sherrie,"AAHHHHH-Mazing stay!  The accommodations were great and such a treat!  The property and surroundings are truly drool worthy...
Definitely a MUST when I return to ATX."
321636,20810489,2014-10-06,6065901,Jen,"Sara's Spartanette was cute and cozy! I loved coming back ""home"" to this awesome location! The outdoor space around the unit was so cool! I loved seeing the chickens in the morning as they scratched around. I came to Austin for ACL Fest and my only regret was not having more time to explore the city and hang out at Sara's! "
321636,21298306,2014-10-14,21365715,Christine,"We had a fab stay in the Spartenette, I would highly recommend. The decor is lovely - exactly like the pictures. Sara was really helpful when we needed an iron and cab numbers! Great location - less than $10 in a cab to some great bars on East 6th ave. "
321636,21607193,2014-10-20,2947214,Jeff,"We knew based on the listing that this would be the perfect place to stay for our long weekend in Austin and we were not disappointed -- the place is as great as described. 

The whole experience went very smoothly. We were greeted warmly by Sara and she was super helpful throughout our stay.

The Spartanette is beautifully decorated and also a really comfortable place to return to after a long day of exploring Austin.

Couldn't be happier with the decision to stay here and will recommend it to all friends traveling through Austin."
321636,21824956,2014-10-25,13621433,Diana,"We had a great time staying here. It was a really comfortable, fun and unique experience. The hosts thought of everything: from comfy linens to creamer for your coffee. For a renovated camper, it sure had fantastic amenities: AC, wifi, microwave, cable TV etc. The location was close to a lot of the places we wanted to check out and the hosts couldn't have been nicer. 

If you are thinking about staying here, do make sure you are comfortable with dogs as there are two hounds on the property.  I'm sure you'll have a great time!"
321636,22144736,2014-10-31,16439578,Madeline,Sara is great and the place is lovely! Great location too. 
321636,22232302,2014-11-02,10854421,Charlie,"What fun!   No comparison to a the alternatives in Austin over the Formula 1 weekend.   Personality, serene setting, and a very interesting neighborhood with lots of fun and funky local restaurants.   Too bad I was not staying longer, so I could have checked out ""The Vortex"" - a cute open area with Italian-food truck.

Everything was comfy, bed was lovely, as were the dogs and chickens.  Sara was gracious.    I definitely would go back."
321636,22341376,2014-11-03,12425754,Bao-An,"Sara was extremely nice when we met her. She had two beautiful dogs that were nice and friendly when we entered. The trailer is beautifully designed, clean and cozy. She was very responsive to my messages and texts and was always available to answer any questions I needed. I will definitely stay here again next time I come into town!"
321636,22526115,2014-11-09,11120059,Travis,"The Spartan is a great place to stay for a vacation to Austin. Surprisingly large and livable. Really cool what they've done with the trailer. Additionally, the backyard and guard dogs (friendliest guard dogs ever) add to the cool vibe. 

We had the opportunity to briefly meet Sara. She was extremely welcoming and was a joy to be around. We definitely recommend for anyone coming to Austin!"
321636,22824078,2014-11-16,4937311,Allison,"The Spartanette was fun & funky -- just like Austin. My husband and I spent the weekend in Austin for our anniversary and we decided to try an airstream this time, I'm glad we did! We loved the intimate space, and the 1950s vibe. The bed is comfortable (firm), the TV has plenty of channels, there's a good supply of hot water (it was freezing cold outside when we visited), the heater keeps the place nice and cozy, and the rest of the amenities were exactly what we needed. We bought quite a bit of snack food at Wholefoods and we were able to store it all in the fridge/freezer and pantry area. Sadly, we didn't get to meet the owners or the friendly guard dogs as they were away at the time, but we enjoyed use of the yard as we had our little pup with us. As others have said before the location is great and really quite central. We were only 5-10 mins drive from everywhere we wanted to go. I recommend checking out Weather up and Contigo! Despite being away, Sara was very responsive and helpful. My favorite part of our stay was the rooster wake up call :)--you definitely don't get that in Houston! "
321636,22931895,2014-11-17,6856247,Andrew,This is such a cool place. We stayed in the spartanette in the middle of November and were completely comfortable. The trailer is beautiful on the inside and the back yard it is located in is a perfect setting. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for an alternative place to stay in Austin. Sara was very accommodating and always around to help. Thanks! 
321636,23018367,2014-11-20,2316395,Ann,"sara was extremely hospitable and made me feel like the space was truly my own! she gave me privacy but was always available via text, checking in to offer supplies or answer questions.

the spartanette was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and spacious! i felt tucked away in my own little world ... but was happy to have my eastside favorites only minutes away :)

wonderful experience and great value!"
321636,23205650,2014-11-25,833711,Caroline & Jean-Laurent,"We had a great time at Sara's Spartanette! She gave us all the information we needed ahead of time and was super friendly. The guesthouse itself was very chic, comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We strongly recommend to stay at Sara's guesthouse if you stay in Austin. "
321636,23620814,2014-12-06,24516456,Francois,"Sara was very communicative before our visit and made us feel welcome when she greeted us upon our arrival. The Spartanette is wonderfully remodeled: everything about it is thoughtful, and well, cool. We had a great experience, and would definitely stay here again. "
321636,23707384,2014-12-08,3483455,Trin,"Sara was very responsive to texts and very nice. The Spartanette is an amazing place to stay at. The neighborhood is cool, a lot of local good places to eat at. Austin is very small, we had a car rental so our location was very convenient. Cute dogs. Sara stocked our fridge with some Lone Stars which we thought was quite welcoming!"
321636,23824533,2014-12-11,5241802,Drew,What a vibe! I loved every inch of The Spartan. It was perfectly suited for me and was the highlight of my trip to Austin. 
321636,23956822,2014-12-15,11559579,Angie,"Sara's Spartanette was amazing! Perfect location on Austin's east side. It was a short drive, and not a bad walk to lots of bars and restaurants. 
Sara was very easy to contact and was willing to help us with anything we needed while still giving us plenty of privacy. 
The airstream was nicely renovated and had all the basic things you'd need. It was a perfect size for 2 people. I'd definitely stay here again!"
321636,24740504,2015-01-02,9183175,Alyssa,"This was by far one of the best air bnb experiences I've ever had. My husband and I came to Austin to elope, and Sara's guesthouse was the perfect place for us to stay. The Sparanette had plenty of space, the bed was very comfortable, and there was all sorts of great places for storage. The yard was a magical wonderland - even in the dead of winter when we were there. We particularly loved walking past her beautiful chickens on our way in and out of the yard. The entire property was abound with character and special touches. 

Sara did everything to make our stay comfortable, despite being a week out on her due date of their first child! She was very responsive and not only welcomed us to have our elopement ceremony in her beautiful yard, but brought us a bottle champagne and the most beautiful peonies i've ever seen. 

I can't recommend this space enough and we will absolutely be staying there on our return trips to Austin (we looooooved the city!) The neighborhood is perfect proximity to so many great restaurants and right around the corner is a coffee shop, Bennu - which is incredible and open 24 hours a day, which blew our mind!

All in all, a wonderful experience!"
321636,26319577,2015-02-09,8832761,Olivia,"The Spartanette was awesome--Sara couldn't have been nicer and it was a fun, cozy place to spend our trip. "
321636,26418180,2015-02-12,557111,Traylor,"The Spartanette was very comfy and the entire outside area had such a charm, that I looked forward to coming 'home' every night.  I can't say enough about Sara's awesome hostessing.  It's easy to see how much love has been put into the entire space. Thank you Sara for the toothpaste :). "
321636,26660634,2015-02-16,42447,Arden,"We had the loveliest time staying at the Spartanette on Sara's magical property. The location is great, the trailer is spectacularly designed and very comfortable, and we will absolutely be back."
321636,26700635,2015-02-17,3626630,Rachel,We loved our stay at the Spartanette! Sara was easy to communicate with and gave us recommendations on places to east/visit in the area. The trailer was very clean and well designed and the property was large and relaxing. This was one of our favorite airbnb experiences in Austin and we will definitely be staying here again in the future. 
321636,27643940,2015-03-09,25752149,Seona,"The Spartanette is a great place to place, it was roomy and comfortable, very modern. Speaker system and Wifi make it great to chill out in!
We loved the decor, and the surrounding garden made for a unique and interesting atmosphere. 
The City centre was a comfortable distance by foot, and a very quick trip by taxi.
10/10, didnt want to leave!"
321636,28132469,2015-03-18,9826330,Connie,"We had a wonderful stay in Sara & Jay's Spartanette. Sara was so gracious and easy to communicate with.  The Spartanette was clean, chic and comfortable, and their backyard was a lush, East Austin oasis.  Highly recommend! "
321636,28599388,2015-03-27,26085096,Gerry,"I loved to go camping so this was as close as I could get in Austin. Great place, very nice host, beautiful garden - we did steal some of their pecan nuts...
The Spartanette Guesthouse is very cozy and the surrounding garden makes it a top location. Within walking distance of restaurants and bars. We recommend Salt&Time, and the bar at the next corner of Chicon and 6th street: Whisler's bar. "
321636,28717362,2015-03-29,13008907,Stephanie,I highly recommend staying in this space. It was absolutely enchanting and quant. Sara was very hospitable and made us feel right at home. It was quiet and clean. The yard was lovely to sit out and read in. The location is in a great spot it was close enough to everything within a short drive. 
321636,29287763,2015-04-06,7626739,Megan,"We had a fantastic, relaxing, and much needed retreat at Sara's place.  She and her husband made us feel very welcome when we arrived.  I loved all of the information Sara provided about the property and the area.  Highly recommend! :)"
321636,30054864,2015-04-16,17609760,Kirsten,It was a great stay in a beautiful setting. The airstreams were beautifully decorated. The beds in both airstreams were uncomfortable and in the mansion it was very hard. I had sleepless nights both night. There was an issue with fleas in one of the trailers and the host took great care to rectify the problem. 
321636,30196765,2015-04-19,15861981,Francesca,"I highly recommend both Spartanettes!  Sara was a great host, and the spaces were impeccable!  I spent my wedding weekend on the property and it was purely magical.  From the glorious yard with chickens and sweet dogs, to the on-point decor and fantastic deck.  Nothing short of perfect!  "
321636,30843784,2015-04-27,29000632,Stacy,"We truly enjoyed our stay here!  Just as described, comfortable bed, cool and unique property.  We will definitely stay here again!"
321636,31867837,2015-05-11,15019136,Steven,"Sara & her husband did a great job to create a environment that was both inviting and peaceful, which came in handy after a hectic day at Psych Fest. Everything was taken care of, and all we had to do was relax and enjoy the incredible Spartanette!"
321636,32491736,2015-05-19,2843701,Becky & Tyler,"Our stay at Sara's was great! The Spartanette is perfect for two people. The whole place was relaxing and that backyard is beautiful - we particularly liked the dogs & chickens! We would definitely want to stay here again if we come back to Austin. We used Uber the whole time we were there and this is a great location - far enough from downtown, but also just a short drive away if you want to get there. Sara is helpful & friendly and you can tell she's put a lot of effort into the place. Check it out!"
321636,33630380,2015-05-30,34217327,Kayla,"This place was awesome! This was my first airbnb experience and it was great - Sara made it very easy for us to access the Spartanette even when she wasn't around. The Spartanette was very clean and cozy, and we fit 3 people in it just fine. The neighborhood and backyard where the Spartanette sits were very quiet and artsy, and was only a short drive away from 6th Street, South Congress, and other fun places in Austin to explore. She was also very responsive to texts I sent asking for recommendations for places in Austin to check out. I would definitely stay here again. "
321636,33913022,2015-06-02,30743306,Emily Rose,"Sara was incredibly accommodating. Available whenever we had questions but also granted us our privacy. An incredible way to experience austin. Close to everything, unique, stylish in a lush garden setting. We couldn't have asked for anything else! It was a fantastic trip. "
321636,35031580,2015-06-14,35247387,Jennifer,"I loved staying at Sara's Spartanette Guesthouse. Everything was just as pictured and the trailer inside was very modern and clean. Sara was extremely friendly and the yard was huge, nice, and private. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our first Airbnb experience and would definitely stay here again for our next Austin trip. Also it was convenient to get to downtown and all the places we wanted to go. Only about 10-15 minutes out from everything. "
321636,38044537,2015-07-12,2096332,Sarah,A-mazing! Such a cool spot. Sara and her husband were super cool and great hosts. Not to mention their house and the Spartanette are solar powered which makes this airbnb go from 5 stars to 6! If I ever come back to Austin this rental is on the top of my list of places to stay. 
321636,38541556,2015-07-16,13636662,Julie,"What a neat space. Perfect Austin experience, very weird decor, lovely garden,platform bed with futon style mattress.  Really enjoyed watching the dogs move around the garden. Great spot"
321636,39419667,2015-07-23,37246096,Ryan,We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautifully renovated spartanette and would gladly stay again. Everything we needed was furnished and Sara was extremely pleasant. We had concerns with the heat but the trailer was plenty cool with the brand new air conditioning. Drinks on a warm evening on the trailer's patio are a must!
321636,41877693,2015-08-09,3340475,Blake,"Only stayed one night but the experience more than met my expectations. Would definitely recommend, as it's in a great part of town and all the amenities were there that you need."

321636,47520598,2015-09-19,42953451,Erica,It was nothing but a pleasure to stay in the Spartanette. Sara is a great host and made us feel comfortable from start to finish. I would highly recommend this spot to friends and will definitely stay here the next time we're in Austin.  
321636,47755207,2015-09-21,42319246,Grant,"Awesome spot, totally true to the pictures, super fun experience staying in a air stream, and super easy and accommodating. Easy access to the UT campus from there, too."
321636,49587793,2015-10-05,32680662,Chris,Very cool location on the East side of Austin. Great bars/restaurants nearby. Super quiet and private. Trailer is definitely spacious enough for 2 comfortably. Incredibly comfortable bed.

321636,50461330,2015-10-12,34900316,Patrick,"This place was absolutely fantastic. The city of Austin is obviously great, and we came for ACL, but staying here was a highlight in and of itself. As you walk through the gate you will be greeted by two lovely, well mannered pups. Continuing your journey along the side of the main house, you will find that you have been transported out of the busy city and into a comfortable, relaxing environment. The yard is eccentric and eclectic, inspiring and inviting. 

The Spartanette was everything you could possibly need. Comfortable bed and couch, nice little kitchen set up and bathroom. The spot is not too far from downtown, about a $10 uber ride to make life easier. I would definitely stay here again, and will try to next time we are in Austin."
321636,50962084,2015-10-16,7683190,Stefanie,"This is a beautiful space with great energy. Very tidy and clean. Shower has great pressure and doesn't run out of hot water. Ice cold AC. Quality sheets on a  comfortable futon-style mattress. The built-ins are well thought out and esthetically pleasing.  The yard is stunning and quiet. Sara was a great friendly host, checked in on us but gave us privacy. I just wish we could have stayed longer. We will stay again next time we're in Austin. Stocked with amazing coffee with all the fixins'...started every morning out perfect! Felt like home"
321636,51601342,2015-10-21,45475632,Martin,"Peaceful and quite location. Sara was very flexible with regards to time. The Spartanette itself had a pleasant, cozy ambiance and was a great experience overall."

5660946,28442992,2015-03-23,13041377,Precious,Staying at Michelle'a place was awesome! Very quiet neighborhood and very cozy.  Home had more than enough space for 4 people to relax comfortably and great location.  I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay during an Austin visit.
6561390,49792907,2015-10-06,11555028,Meghan,I stayed at Andy's house with a group of friends for ACL and he was a great host! The house was beautiful and is close to lots of great restaurants and bars. We had a great time!
6561390,50643126,2015-10-13,42677989,Christina,Andy was super helpful from the beginning with our stay. His home was perfect for what my group was looking for and expectations were certainly met. We were walking distance to a few great coffee shops (highly suggest Cuvee) and a quick cab ride to downtown. We loved Austin and can't wait to go back! 
5041559,29693397,2015-04-11,29940171,Jason,The house was everything we needed. Michael was extremely accommodating with our travel arrangements and was very helpful with what we needed. I would book again in a heartbeat. Super convenient location and close to everything Austin has to offer. 
5041559,30225379,2015-04-19,27837924,Jonathan,"The place was great! Lots of space, and walking distance to plenty of places that are close. "
5041559,30714972,2015-04-26,8936646,Anel,The house was great and exactly as expected. Spacious and cozy. Michael was very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly. Definitely recommend this listing for your visit to Austin.  
5041559,32306246,2015-05-16,6562731,Veronica,The host canceled this reservation 146 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5041559,33688706,2015-05-31,24013603,Geneva,"The house is located off of a main street in south Austin. The neighborhood is definitely quintessential Austin. A little funky, no two houses were the same. Michael, was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The place felt like home.  He left extra keys, a personal note welcoming us and the notes on the refrigerator were helpful as well for working a couple of different items in the house. "
5041559,35053923,2015-06-14,20525856,Chad,Michael's home was a perfect place for us. The house is very roomy with lots of amenities to keep several people occupied. All in all a great experience!
5041559,38904083,2015-07-19,6735232,I-Hsiu,"The location is great and very close to all major sight-seeing or tourist sites. Quiet neiborhood and 3 min to the Target store where you can get anything you need. Mike's house can amazingly fit 10 of us and contained lots of entertainment features all of us enjoyed. The transaction is smoothly, flexible, and convenience. We arrived little early than expected and needed to check out at the early morning. Mike can fulfill our needs and make our trip great and enjoyful. The ping pong table and gas grill fenced back yard is super awesome. We had a wonderful time at his property.   "
5041559,39809233,2015-07-26,37083416,Cassaundra,"Michael's home was just as described and pictured. The house was spacious and also had a great location. His home was able to accommodate 10 of us comfortably. Also, it only took about 10 minutes to reach W 6th St with Uber. Only downfall was the amount of people staying versus the clogged bathtub. "
5041559,41788245,2015-08-09,37157351,Raji,Michael's house is so clean and welcoming. It is close to many good restaurants which we loved. The house is comfortable with all the amenities. The checkin and checkout process is very easy with no trouble. My big family of 9 adults and 3 kids stayed and everyone loved it. Thanks to Michael and his family
5041559,45959861,2015-09-07,2959749,Kellee,"We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home! Our host, Micheal was very accomodating and even responded to my inquiries over the holiday weekend. We had a large group but there was ample sleeping space for all of us!"
5041559,47819653,2015-09-21,42235129,Sarah,"We stayed at Michael's for my sister's bachelorette party.  It was the perfect place to stay, there was plenty of room for everyone (we had 9 people stay each night and more come hang out during the day), and the kitchen and living room area was super comfortable and the perfect size for everyone to gather to have meals and hang out.

The neighborhood was great, the house was clean and welcoming, and I would definitely stay here again.  Michael also left a great welcome note, and he was very easy to reach by text in case we had any questions.

Thanks for the great stay!"
5041559,51142698,2015-10-18,43132223,Emily,"Michael was a great host! Very quick to respond and check in/out was easy as pie. The house is adorable, comfortable, and in a great location. "
5041559,51895508,2015-10-25,35429900,Jennie,"We had a great time during our weekend at Michael's listing. The house was immaculately clean (can't emphasize this enough), the decor is modern and fun, everyone had a comfortable place to sleep. If the weather wasn't so crappy, I would have loved to have spent time in the back yard. I highly recommend this listing."
2496083,28144494,2015-03-18,9216220,Mariam,"Harrison was a fantastic host! Had a great time, he was very helpful in explaining to be some of the best spots to hit up.
The first day I got there he gave me a bike tour how to get to downtown (I was there for SXSW) we stopped at a great food truck area to eat, gave me a great history lesson about Austin and really had a great experience thanks to Harrison, also was available anytime I called or texted when needed.
The place is super duper clean, I had my own bedroom and washroom on the main floor (pictures are literally identical to what you should expect if you stay with Harrison) 
Place is not far at all from downtown Austin and Harrison even hooked me up with a bike while I was there (literally 5 min bike ride, some days I even walked takes 30 minutes).

This guy is an overall great guy with a great place.  I highly recommend staying with Harrison and if I were to go back I'd stay at his place in a flash!
Thank you Harrison :)

2496083,29365457,2015-04-06,15449303,Andrei,"Extremely hospitable, great host!"
2496083,29806832,2015-04-12,8436342,Gina,"Harrison's place is lovely, it is truly a house that feels like a home. It is well taken care of. His hospitality adds to making the stay super pleasent. Harrison was always available and willing to help about my way around Austin. It was a great stay, I would stay here again!"
2496083,30152208,2015-04-18,14096729,Katy,"The location was perfect for us, as we went to Gourmands and the Lost Well that night. Nice and clean, and my husband was quite impressed with the record collection! Will definitely be staying again!"
2496083,31125329,2015-05-02,30047780,Min,"This was the best experience I could've hoped for as a solo traveller.  Harrison is awesome, super friendly and genuine. He sent me a huge list of restaurant and bar recommendations before I even arrived, and even took me out for a beer on my arrival. The house is in a great location, very clean and comfortable. His dog is also very friendly, though you definitely need a lint brush around him since he likes to snuggle. Really can't ask for more! Thanks Harrison!"
2496083,31713818,2015-05-09,27421411,Nicholas,Only got to meet and visit with Harrison for a few minutes but he is a very nice guy. The house is spotless and the room comfortable. Waldo the dog is very sweet and quiet. Would recommend staying with Harrison on your next trip to Austin. Especially if one of your destinations is The Lost Well. It's only two blocks down. 
5403259,27120250,2015-02-25,4908340,Carol,The reservation was canceled 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5403259,27293844,2015-03-01,1304069,James,My stay in Austin was great. This room is apart of a larger house. All the rooms in the house are rented out so there is a good level of privacy among the guests. The common areas are very well appointed and the entire house (including the room) is very clean. The location is excellent! I had a few issues with this room as the host had just completed it but i am confident they will be addressed. Matt is very responsive. 
5403259,30179733,2015-04-18,2249499,Erin,"Great location and a beautiful house, but I had a few issues with the room and checking in. The house is a large, beautiful home situated on a quiet, cute neighborhood street just blocks away from Magnolia's Cafe and other great places to visit along South Congress Avenue. A perfect location for visiting Austin. I love the large kitchen that connects to a private and quiet backyard with a table and chairs. A great spot to drink coffee and chat with the other guests. I enjoyed the friendly cat that lives there (beware if you have cat allergies though). With a door code on the front door and keys for each individual bedroom, which are all guest rooms, this place offers privacy and security. The Loft Room is nicely tucked back from the other rooms, which provides quiet and privacy from the other guests. The Loft Room is a less finished work in progress as compared to the other rooms at the house, however. The floor consists of old carpet scraps and plywood. I could see a tripping hazard by the raised toilet platform with rough plywood corners. Hopefully this will get fixed. The shower/tub is a creative design in a small space, but awkward for even a shorter person. With the bathroom and bedroom all in one room, it was fine for one guest, but would be awkward if sharing a room. Though it's nice to have a private bath. I will note that all the other guest rooms at this house looked great. 

I had some trouble contacting the host and getting into the space after booking, which added some stress to the trip. I am new to AirBnB so maybe I missed how to use some of the features of the app. It was hard to get a clear answer of when I could check in and where exactly the house was located. After a few hours of trouble reaching the host, with my luggage outside in the rain out front of the cafe nearby, I eventually got a message back with the address and instructions for checking in. When I finally got into my room, it was frustrating to find it had not been cleaned from the previous guests and there were no sheets or towels, in addition to the less finished nature of the room. Other guests helped me find the laundry room and I was able to find clean sheets and a towel. I contacted the host the next day about the cleaning issue and he said it was not typical. As the rest of the house looked clean and well kept, I believe this. I appreciated his apology and offer to reimburse me a portion of the rental fee. With a few changes, I think this place would be excellent. Although I only communicated with the host electronically and over a brief phone call, he seemed like a nice guy. I would stay at the house again, but in a more finished room."
5403259,30203091,2015-04-19,28398890,Todd,"Can't beat the location, a block off Congress and right by the Magnolia Cafe. Room was clean upon arrival and set back from the other rooms so it was quiet. Great back patio to kick back on. The finishing touches in the room could use a bit more attention which I'm sure will be tended to, but there's nothing to keep you from enjoying your stay. Great desk to work at as well. 
"
5403259,31372258,2015-05-04,31375046,Bill,"Fabulous location metres from SoCo and a short walk to bike hire place. The loft was comfortable but may be a bit stuffy in summer though there is an air conditioner in the room. 
The house is great with a well appointed kitchen and 2 lounge rooms one with a TV. 
The other rooms in the house all looked great.
I did not meet Matt but he gave me the code for the front door and the room key was waiting for me. I would highly recommend this house and the SoCo district for anyone visiting Austin."
5403259,31849523,2015-05-10,24018492,Tim,"I've stayed in room C and room E now, both downstairs, and I have to say I prefer E. It's quieter and more private. Can't beat the location.  "
5403259,32950679,2015-05-23,10267304,Tara,We really enjoyed our stay in this house. The location is great and the house is beautiful. We would definitely return for our next trip to Austin: 
5403259,36481059,2015-06-28,32164201,Tom,"The SocoBnB house was great. Its tucked away on a quiet residential street, but still within easy walking distance of all the action on South Congress. Matt has a designer's eye and has curated the place to feel both warm and modern. The house has a great kitchen and plenty of areas to socialize and relax- Including a sweet outdoor patio. It was perfect for my stay in Austin and I would definitely rent through Matt again.  "
5403259,48874598,2015-09-29,8054198,Bruno,"I have not met Matt, but the place was great, big and clean, and very well located. I recommend this place and will be happy to come back."
5403259,49804139,2015-10-06,911596,Anna,Great location to spend a fantastic time in Austin. The apartment is cozy and has everything you need.
2372452,20814130,2014-10-06,7386093,Daniel,"We stayed at Sean's place for ACL and it was perfect! He was very cool about meeting us on our schedule, letting us check out when we needed, and responding whenever we had questions. We were walking distance from the festival, a quick Uber ride from nightlife, and close to marts and restaurants. He also has a great outdoor deck for relaxing on. All in all, I would highly recommend!"
964776,3822605,2013-03-18,1126810,Jackie,This apartment was the perfect stay for my company for SXSW. It was a quick bike ride from all the activities downtown and even included 2 bikes! Edna and Lance were the perfect hosts with very quick communication about anything Austin related. I would recommend this place or any other place Edna and Lance plan to rent in the future. 
964776,7343551,2013-09-16,7911319,Michelle,"Loved our stay here; the neighborhood was a bit sketch but no problems ever occurred. The house is cute and modern on the inside with a convenient location, so don't judge a book by its cover ;). We were in Austin for a bachelorette party with 6 people and this house fit us all very comfortably. Edna and Lance were so nice and accommodating. Two thumbs way up! "
964776,7918101,2013-10-08,8217635,Brooke,This was an awesome place to stay! The location was super convenient and the house is really nice. Edna and Lance were great hosts. They really went above and beyond for us and I could not have asked for more. I would love to stay here again on my next visit to Austin. 
964776,8813669,2013-11-19,8787331,Lidia,"We visited Austin last weekend in november during the F1. The house is very cute, complete of all furnitures, the host gave us everything we need (breakfast,water, orange juice, we had also washing machine and dry machine...). The house is in a very quite place, no noise during the night, it is not so far from downtown but you need a taxi/bus to go (15 minutes). We met Edna and she is wonderful! very kind person. "
964776,9281169,2013-12-18,7828996,Sam,"We had a great stay here! The house was well equipped, clean, comfortable, and cute. It was convenient for our family, with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a nice kitchen, and laundry."
964776,18916832,2014-09-02,12005881,John,"Couldn't have asked for a better time or more comfortable accommodations.  I stayed here over Labor Day weekend with four friends, and we had an excellent time. Eddy and Pants were even gracious enough to setup an additional queen size air mattress upon request, and left us both beer and coffee for our stay!

The home is small, but offers a great patio and a very upscale interior. I'm incredibly familiar with Austin, love the East Side, and would definitely recommend this place. I'll be back soon!"
964776,28321867,2015-03-22,19115946,Nick,"Eddy's house was great! There was a ton of space, the house was clean and she had everything we needed.

The area was super close to downtown (appx 7 minute drive). We never had an Uber cost us more than $20 (only that high with surge pricing).

Eddy had an air mattress out for us in a separate room with a barrier so there was actually 3 bedrooms. 

Definitely will stay at Eddy's in the future!!

"
964776,49771834,2015-10-06,38455503,Patricia,This was my first airbnb experience and probably won't be my last! We stayed at Eddy&Pants lovely home for ACL. It   and a nice place to stay with a group and we had more than enough room. I asked for the air mattress separate curtain and was surprised how nice they made it with pillows and blankets. Their living area was great for relaxing in the morning and evenings together with the group after all the festivities. They always answered text messages with any questions that came up and even let me come back to pick up some belongings I accidentally left. I definitely recommend their home! Very nice! 
964776,50643805,2015-10-13,32585875,Michael,"This place was awesome!  Very clean when we arrived, with towels nicely laid out.  As our plans were evolving, Eddy was very helpful and flexible so that we could make our time in the great city easy and stress free.  The house is located in the perfect location - 10 dollar uber taxi ride to literally the entire downtown.  We didn't drive once, that is how convenient everything was so we didn't have to deal with the downtown traffic.  "
5280351,27688602,2015-03-09,17176397,Kanchan,"Place was easy to find, Aj was there waiting for us when we arrived. He even got us a couple bottles of wine to make us feel at home! It was a lovely home and we had a good stay for the 2 nights we were there!"
5280351,28896665,2015-03-31,13259967,Robin,"We had a great weekend escape in Austin and AJ's home was the perfect base.  Just a few minutes drive from SoCo restaurants and easy access to the City.  The home was as described in the pictures and AJ is a responsive and accommodating host checking us in personally after we were delayed arriving, offering great suggestions of where to go and quick to respond to any questions by text."
5280351,29834039,2015-04-13,28186349,Crystal,"Great location and perfect amount of space for our family. Little mix up with check in time, but we just went to lunch to make it work. AJ was very accommodating with late checkout time which really helped when traveling with kids. Will definitely consider staying again next year when we visit Austin again. Thanks! "
5280351,30368762,2015-04-20,31370554,Johnathan,"Aj was a great host! Place was nice and very well kept. Close to the untapped venue, and down town. Uber and Lyft pickups less than 4 minutes both times. I was very last minute and Aj was able to exceed my expectations! This was my first time to use airbnb but not my last!"
5280351,30764499,2015-04-27,13505533,Adam,"AJ was great to stay with.  He left the key under the doormat and surprised me with a bottle of wine on the counter and some clementines.  The place was clean and just as shown in the pictures, and the location is perfect.  Recommended."
5280351,31406184,2015-05-04,14242967,EL Alex,"GREAT host, GREAT place, GREAT location!!! AJ's place is awesome. For starters the beds are super comfortable, restroom and shower is very clean and spacious. Kitchen and living are very cozy and the bottle of wine was very tasty! Yum. That couch is something else. As soon as I sat down I practically knocked out. Nice TV, decorations added a nice touch to the place. The guitar was the main even on my stay. Played it all night and came in handy when singing Happy Birthday to the birthday girl. The place has awesome parking, and it's in a quiet and peaceful location. Super close to a lot of popular places on SoCo St. for both night life and breakfast mornings. This was my first Air BnB and was a great experience. Definitely recommend it and I will most definitely be staying here AGAIN!!! "
5280351,33237062,2015-05-26,28590883,Michelle,"AJ was such a wonderful host! My friends and I went to Austin for a girls weekend and he was so kind and helpful when organizing for us to stay at his place. His home is very nice and was the perfect size for a group of girls to get ready, play games, and sleep! It was the perfect location for us too, close to shopping, food, and right by I-35 for everything else we wanted to do! He was a great host and also left us some snacks and a bottle of wine to enjoy while we were there! A huge thank you to AJ for helping us make it a great weekend!"
5280351,37400948,2015-07-06,27165251,Dave,"Holy Cow! AJ has the perfect place! It's close to downtown, it's close to the park, it's just perfect. We were in town for the 4th of July and were able to ride our bikes to the Concert and Fireworks at The Shores. 
The apartment complex is secure and the place is immaculate. AJ was a wonderful host and we can't wait to come back! He communicated well and made accommodations for an early check-in. 
The bed was super comfy, the TV large, the beer was cold, and the couch was inviting. All in all, 5/5 and I definitely recommend his Apartment."
5280351,47907615,2015-09-21,32525856,Sally,AJ was a pleasant and gracious host.  His place was clean and comfortable.  Highly recommended! !
5280351,50613924,2015-10-13,27484027,Lora,"AJ let us check in early so we wouldn't miss an event we went to Austin to see. He left us fruit, wine, and a beer, which we considered wonderful! The apartment was very clean and is in a great location. Three of us stayed here and were very comfortable. The check out process was easy and painless. "
5280351,52852661,2015-11-02,1670293,Ross,"Saying at AJ's South Congress Charmer was a wonderful experience that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone, without reservation.  From the start, AJ was communicative, friendly, and patient (our flight was delayed and our arrival time became unknown -- AJ remained calm and reassuring as our travel plans shifted).  The house was extremely clean and well decorated: the interior featured AJ's beautiful photography, but was also free of clutter and allowed us to feel right at home.  The location was great and quite convenient for hanging out along south Congress and also getting to and from the airport.  I would stay hear again in a heartbeat if I ever find myself back in Austin.  "
14577,27846,2010-02-28,76810,Christy,We enjoyed our stay so much!!!  It was wonderful to stay in a house versus a hotel room to experience Austin.  Especially with a baby and a dog!  Thank you for providing these charming guest cottages!  Hope to come back.
14577,142387,2010-11-21,219337,Mekayla,"I had a lovely experience at 'the treehouse', Bj's apartment near downtown. The bed was very comfortable and the place was nicely decorated and felt very well taken care (website hidden) and his wife were extremely responsive and helpful. I'd definitely stay in one of their places again. "

14577,2391344,2012-09-24,1040094,Ashley,"My wife and I had a great stay at Verde Camp. The house was nice and cozy, the property is well kept, and the bed was very comfortable. The house is walking distance to all the action on South Congress, and is in a quite and safe area with ample parking. We had a bit of trouble with the bikes having flat tires, but after speaking to the property manager Star, he offered to fix everything right up for us."
14577,3348435,2013-01-14,542756,Madeleine,"As usual, Verde Camp and our host Bj were awesome! Great location a couple blocks off South Congress in a residential neighborhood (all the benefits of central location, none of the noise and parking issues of being on SoCo). Cottage was adorable, perfect for a couples night away or a relaxed stay with friends! Well-equiped, spacious, and insanely comfortable bedding/mattress. Would absolutely and WILL absolutely return for another stay when we have more time! Thanks again!"
14577,8388756,2013-10-28,9444035,Charlotta,Loved this charming little house set in the oaks!  We felt right at home immediately and appreciated how clean everything was. The location could not be better. Our pup enjoyed her stay too!  We'll be back!

14577,10679984,2014-03-03,11262266,Michelle,Bj and Leslie were prompt in communication and extremely accommodating! I honestly could not have asked for a more better place to stay while exploring Austin. Verde Camp is the perfect distance from South Congress - everything is still walkable but you have a little more privacy and space. We brought our puppy and she loved running around in the backyard. We hope to be back soon!
14577,10953029,2014-03-15,4569275,Peter,"We had such a fantastic time at Verde Camp during South By (website hidden) and Leslie were incredibly accommodating and made the whole experience a genuine treat. Next time I visit Austin, I am definitely going to see if I can stay here again first. The South Congress area was amazing too, and being only 10 minutes walk from HopDoddies (Best burgers ive ever tasted) was a life changing treat :)

Thanks so much guys. You were awesome!"
14577,24421565,2014-12-28,18935368,James,"Just as advertised, super cute cottages a short walk from congress."
14577,25845678,2015-01-27,8298628,Yuko,Wonderful location and a very cute house. Perfect spot to check out South Congress. Clean and well appointed. The hosts were accessible and organized. Loved the welcome message on the fridge!  
14577,28115936,2015-03-18,20834816,Anders,We stayed in one of the Verde Camp houses for SxSW 15 to the envy of our friends. The quiet neighborhood and the close proximity to downtown was ideal. We felt very welcome and great week. We would definitely stay another time. 
14577,37172407,2015-07-05,585899,Maggie,"We had a great time at Verde Camp for the 4th of July weekend. There was plenty of space for the three of us, and we had a sweet welcome note and some legal fun fireworks to enjoy during our stay, which was a very nice touch. The house was quiet, cute and rustic, but had great modern amenities. The beds were comfy, the AC worked great, the hot water came quickly and the shower had very good water pressure. The location is perfectly nestled a short walk from the excitement of S. Congress. It was a perfect home base for our weekend festivities."

14577,41881684,2015-08-09,40407268,Ivy,"Couldn't have had a better first experience with Airbnb! Prompt communication with the hosts, the cottage was clean, adorable, exactly as pictured. This particular cottage is at the back of the property, and super private. In fact we never saw another person on the property the whole weekend! Lovely little back deck and patio to sit and enjoy your breakfast. Quiet neighborhood only a quarter mile walk from the main SoCo strip. Just perfect. Would definitely come back to Verde Camp :)"
676554,10807879,2014-03-08,12680776,Andy,"The room is spacious, private and tastefully decorated. Bed is comfortable, water pressure good, there was a gift-basket assortment of toiletries and treats waiting when I got there.

I arrived late, but Rey was very mellow about staying up to let me in. He and Vania invited me to treat their house as my home, and made me feel comfortable and welcome. They gave me lots of good tips about dining and getting around. And the eggs from their chickens were very good, with nice orange yolks...what more could you ask for?

This was my first Airbnb experience. First of many, I expect!"
676554,10935266,2014-03-14,1036771,Greg,"Rey was a great host, very down to earth and hospitable offering some thoughtful organic and sustainable treats. The room is great, beautiful area, would stay again! "
676554,11005544,2014-03-17,2548849,Joe,"Rey and Vania are the perfect hosts for your stay in Austin. They made sure we had all of the amenities and then some, gave us local recommendations and respected our privacy at all times. Wish we would have more time to get to know them as we were gone most of the time, but appreciated coming back to an impeccably clean and comfortable space to start and end our days at SXSW. Highly recommended!"
676554,11704479,2014-04-12,427519,Anne,Rey and Vania are wonderful hosts. I am an Airbnb host in the same neighborhood and I called Rey to arrange an extra evening stay for one of my guests. (there was a little reservation-confusion and I was already booked) Rey & Vania were quick to respond to my request and the room was just as beautiful as pictured. They welcomed my guest and made the transition seamless. Perfect location and generous hospitality. Bravo.
676554,11821504,2014-04-15,13500413,Sophie,"Rey's place was fantastic! We basically had our own area of the house and the room was great, clean, spacious and had it's own bathroom. The location was great too, we walked down to SoCo within a few minutes. Rey had some really good recommendations for where to go too, even his local bar was fantastic. Thanks again Rey!"
676554,12356616,2014-04-29,1705882,Hilary,"Rey was a great host! He was flexible with us on the check in and check out time, and allowed us to leaves our bags until later. The room was perfect, spacious and clean. "
676554,20810856,2014-10-06,14725218,Ashley,"This was a great place to stay for the first weekend of ACL.  Place was very nice and Rey and Vania were great hosts.  They had a little welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived and were very welcoming.   We were not home often but, when we were there the room was the perfect place to stay.  Big and spacious with a private entrance and its own bathroom. The neighborhood was quaint and super cute.  Also, a great view of their two chickens! Would definitely stay again. "
676554,22181486,2014-11-01,12297906,R,"Rey+Vania were exceptional hosts and beyond accommodating. Their beautiful cozy home is centrally located to all the fun things to do and awesome spots to eat at in Austin. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend this spot, especially if you enjoy a nature-filled atmosphere with a relaxed vibe and want to live like a local! "
676554,22678821,2014-11-11,12474090,Maria,"We stayed here for 4 nights and loved all of it. The room was exactly as pictured, it was very nice, lovely, and charming. The neighborhood was great and really nice. The house was nice short walk to South Congress. Rey and Vania were both super attentive and great hosts. They had great suggestions for bars and things to do around town, and even had a basket with energy bars and toiletries for us in the room when we arrived. "
676554,26513838,2015-02-14,20165114,LuLu,"My experience here was great. The room was clean and well kept, very cozy. It's about a 15-20 min walk to s congress, and it was a beautiful walk. Rey and Vania were very accommodating. I wish I could have stayed longer! I highly recommend it! "
676554,26570541,2015-02-15,6151798,Nina,"The room was exactly as it looks in the pictures, with our own entrance and all! What a great location too -- we were able to walk through the Travis Heights neighborhood full of iconic Austin bungalows down to South Congress for dinner in no time at all. Overall, highly recommend."
676554,26963832,2015-02-22,27390892,Tracy,"This was a pleasant first airbnb experience for me! Rey was really good with communication. He got back to me immediately and was accommodating to my last-minute booking. He and Vania were welcoming and even had a nice little welcome basket with treats and bath essentials. The room was exactly as described: very neat and clean, and the bed was very comfortable. I slept like a baby! I was only there for one night, so my needs were minimal. Other great pros to the place: ample street parking, separate door to the room so you can come and go as you please without feeling intrusive, and the house is in a quiet location. Thanks again for the accommodations Rey and Vania!"
676554,27372353,2015-03-02,28188065,Cameron,"This place was absolutely perfect.  Awesome, laid back hosts in a great location.  Walking/biking/riding distance to SoCo where all the cool kids hang out, short drive to downtown for business travelers.  Room was exactly as described: private entrance, spacious bathroom and chickens to stare at in the backyard for downtime entertainment. :)
Great authentic Austin experience, I would definitely stay again!"
676554,27860405,2015-03-13,28976986,Erik,"Great little house in a beautiful neighborhood.  Very welcoming hosts, we only stayed a day and I did not meet Rey, but his significant other Vania was very friendly and helpful in pointing us towards some great places to check out in Austin."
676554,27942504,2015-03-15,6254268,Ben,We had a great time with Rey and Vania. Beautiful private room and super convenient location. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin.
676554,28459900,2015-03-24,1396195,Mark,"Great hosts, great private room. Ideal for SXSW, only 15min walk to south congress. "
676554,29836437,2015-04-13,17156870,Peter,Rey set up our check-in and Vania greeted upon arrival. She made us feel welcome and comfortable as she showed us around. 
676554,31312003,2015-05-04,5884797,Andrea,"We had a very nice stay at Rey and Vania's home. Everything was spotlessly clean.  The room is just as pictured; the bed was comfortable.  We had very little contact with either of them since we were all out a lot, but when we did they were very friendly.  The neighborhood was residential and safe.  Thank you Rey and Vania."
676554,39884181,2015-07-26,37851832,J,"Staying with Rey and Vania was my first introduction to both Austin and the Airbnb community. I wonder how it could ever be topped. Not only because their place is in a fantastic location, comfy and welcoming. They are amazing hosts, kind, helpful, and overall interesting people. They easily provided the 'big' things you would expect (i.e., realistic pictures, cleanliness, etc.). Maybe more importantly, they impressed me with the small touches (e.g., glass of water waiting bedside with Emergen - C upon my arrival, a goody basket).

After only a 2 nights' stay I feel like I have gained new friends in Austin. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic stay."
676554,45883392,2015-09-06,30355013,Willa,"Convenient location. The house was clean and comfortable. Vania was a gracious host and gave great recommendations during our stay. 

We did not have a car during our stay but with Uber it was very easy to get around. We're about a 15 minute from the lively South Congress which was great. Thanks for a wonderful time!"
676554,47592778,2015-09-20,30502138,Casey,Our hosts had a beautiful room for us and an amazing house in a very convenient location. We loved it.
676554,49637741,2015-10-05,18691404,Abigail,Vania and Rey's place was perfect.  we were there for ACL so gone during the day and coming home late at night. they have a separate entrance from their main entrance so it was perfect for late night arrivals. Vania met us with a smile and showed us where the thermometer was and the nearest liquor store! they're close Lyft and Uber rides away from downtown and their neighborhood is super cute. 
676554,51392801,2015-10-19,18696200,Yang,"We had a very nice stay at Rey's home. The guest room was really cozy and clean. We love all the decorations, especially the plant and pictures. (I love love love the tiffany blue uniqorn and the little pictures near the side doors with from old book pages) It's a nice and quite neighborhood as well. "
676554,52831982,2015-11-02,15783641,Catrina,"Rey and Vania were great hosts. So thoughtful and full of good recommendations of what to do in Austin. The room was lovely and bright, exactly like it's pictured. Travis Heights is a cute neighborhood that's quiet but close enough to South Congress that we could walk to things. 
When our flight home got canceled, Rey and Vania generously let us extend our check out on short notice so that we could make new arrangements. We're so glad we picked this listing!"
2657000,15055186,2014-07-01,15637060,Jodi,Very cute place.  Francene was very friendly and worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed.  Condo was walking distance to shopping and everything else was a short drive.  Perfect place for us to stay as we made our transition to TX while we shopped for our home.  Thanks for everything.
2657000,15836340,2014-07-16,2749292,Zak,"The place was awesome, it fit our needs perfectly. I will definitely be booking Francene's place on our next trip.  "
2657000,45717027,2015-09-05,7985574,Zabeth,Comfortable accommodations in a very convenient location. 
2657000,47828759,2015-09-21,9719195,Adam,Good spot in North central Austin. Perfect location to get where you need...every part of city is around a 15 min drive. And there are some good bars and restaurants that are walkable too. 
2657000,48754159,2015-09-28,39286783,Praagyan,"Francene was very responsive (got replies to a couple of questions within minutes). The place was as described, and very well kept. Would definitely stay here again."
2657000,50819984,2015-10-14,32613796,Tscott,Everything's great. Easy access to the freeways 
222986,716980,2011-11-14,1236451,Erin,"Wow! I cannot say enough about this place - it is more beautiful than can be captured in pictures.  Every space in this house has a unique feel and creative vibe.  My friends and I appreciated the attention to detail - there are some thoughtful features including plush rugs, comfortable and oh so soft sheets, such comfortable beds, thick delicious-smelling towels, luxury shampoos and other bathroom amenities, even mixers for drinks and snacks too!  Lyon was so easy to work with - and responded very quickly to all of my questions and requests.  I appreciated his recommendations for near-by restaurants and his update about events that were happening during our visit.  At the end of each day of our visit to Austin, my friends and I were just excited to get back to ""our"" gorgeous, spacious house for the evening! This is a wonderful space - I cannot recommend it enough.  Stay here and you will not be disappointed.  "
222986,933083,2012-02-20,197596,Sam,The house was absolutely perfect. A great location and a beautiful home. I would highly recommend staying there. 
222986,1057259,2012-03-28,1242950,Nikki,the property owners were quite helpful before and during our stay. the house is lovely. i rented this house as well as the adjoining casita at the rear of the property and used it as a media center for my company for 11 days during sxsw 2012. for details on how the house functions in this capacity feel free to hit me up on twitter @vans_66.
222986,1207626,2012-05-01,1765537,Ray,"WOW!  This house is incredible.  I was 1 of 8 guys staying here for a bachelor party and everyone was floored.  We took full advantage of the front and back porch, the wet bar, big screen tv, etc!  Location is perfect, not far from the downtown scene (we took pedi cabs everywhere)!  Lyon was a great host - house was CLEAN, stocked with some snacks, drinks, cards, umbrellas...everything you could want.  I HIGHLY reccomend and would absolutely stay there again!"
222986,1370785,2012-05-29,1907412,Jill,"This house is lovely and beautifully appointed. Lyon has stocked the rooms with oodles of drinking vessels, plenty of kitchen tools and small appliances, quality toiletries, and unexpected touches (such as umbrellas, frisbees, playing cards, cold beer in the fridge, various snacks and condiments). There was plenty of space for our group of seven, and though we sent most of our time out and about, we had no trouble relaxing on the cocktail deck, lounging in the living area and porch, and gathering around the dining table. Lyon was easy-going and full of great suggestions for eating, drinking, and entertainment. Highly recommended."
222986,1407184,2012-06-03,2066495,Jessica,"We came to Austin for a work trip and stayed in the Circa 1899 Luxe Spa House, it was a truly relaxing getaway after a long day of work.  The homeowner was so nice and a quick responder.  I got the pleasure of meeting the homeowner one night when he was out watering the plants, and he was as nice as he seemed in all the emails and texts.  He left snacks and drinks for us, that is the first time I've seen someone do that at an Airbnb house, how thoughtful!  I would definitely recommend this house to anyone.  "
222986,1459056,2012-06-11,2429729,Michael,"The location, amenities, and overall experience was fantastic. Couldn't recommend this place enough."
222986,1558248,2012-06-25,2511177,Mitch,"This house is choice. Lyon is hands off and yet quick to respond to inquiries: a double threat. Neighbors don't like a lot of noise, and may be vocal with complaints, but hey: That's a small price to pay for high-quality leisure. Awesome steam shower in master bed is worth the price alone. Trust me.

It's an excellent time. Well worth it. Much love to the Circa 1899 Spa House."
222986,2744162,2012-10-29,2924282,Christine,"Lyon was super responsive and extremely helpful in giving us recommendations for good places to eat and drink in the area.  The house was also beautiful! The pictures did not do it justice.  All in all, this was a very positive experience for my first time using Airbnb. Thanks, Lyon!"
222986,2818605,2012-11-05,4005506,Jon,"Lyon's home was beautiful, spacious, and well suited for entertaining or just hanging out with friends. Lyon was a gracious host - he was very easy to work with, understanding, and the entire experience was trouble free. The house was within walking distance of new districts of E Sixth Street and Lustre Pearl, and pedicabs hit his neighborhood as well. 

Not to mention, his home was about a 3 minute drive from Juan in a Million. Hard to beat that.

Thanks so much Lyon - we'd be happy to stay there again.
"
222986,2925217,2012-11-20,110750,Leanne,"We walked into a house that rivals some of the best hotels. It was incredibly cozy yet practical. The layout is great and perfect for couples and friends. All the appliances are modern and work very well. The beds, linens and other amenities are great. The two (2) partios are lovely and the bar is excellent!  Lyon does a great job of giving visitors information about the area and is great to work with regarding meeting up and getting the most out of your stay. Our group definitely hopes to stay here again. Thank you for a great first visit to Austin. "
222986,3058632,2012-12-11,3902909,Brad,Had a great stay.  Absolutely no complaints.
222986,3395837,2013-01-22,646973,Vishal,"This house was a fantastic find.  It looks somewhat modest from the front, but it is surprisingly large when you enter and Lyon has clearly put a lot of time and energy into the place.  There are two outdoor deck areas and a large sun room, all of which were great for me and six of my friends to hang out and catch up during a mini college reunion.  The master bedroom has its own outdoor access s well as a really nice steam room.  The location was great, very close to lots of good E. Austin restaurants and bars and a 20 minute walk or so to the heart of downtown.  Cabs were pretty easy to call as well.  I highly recommend this house and will strongly consider returning on my next visit to Austin."
222986,3778827,2013-03-14,140640,Espen,"We were 5 colleagues from Norway staying at Lyon's place during SXSW in 2013, and we had an amazing time. The place is located in maybe the best location of them all for being near the conference and city centre, and still it's in a very quiet and cozy neighborhood. It's walking distance from the convetion center and tons of great restaurants / bars.

Lyon was so kind to give us a ride to pick up bikes we could hire, which really improved our stay; it's great getting around by bike in Austin.

The house was perfect. Lyon got an eye for details, with snacks, drinks, comfortable beds, excellent steam showers, and a very clean house waiting for us.

Stay here if you get the chance! It will make you're Austin-experience a great one."
222986,3954666,2013-03-30,117906,Jeremy,"Lyon's home was relaxing, super clean, and had everything we needed for our five night stay.  Lyon was incredibly friendly and offered many great suggestions for our stay.  "
222986,4244782,2013-04-22,4994295,Jamie,"Lyon's home is lovely. Excellent taste and very very comfortable. He was very helpful when we arrived, providing good explanations and advice about the home and the area. He lives just 2 doors away, so is available if anything came up, but at the same time, not intrusive in the slightest. Thanks for a wonderful trip and great memories"
222986,5840346,2013-07-19,5180256,Donna,"Lyon's hospitality was outstanding.  He greeted us and showed us around his amazing home.  Lyon shared many valuable tips about Austin that made our stay much more interesting.  Lyon has thought of everything needed to make a guest feel welcome, at home, and happy that they decided to rent a house.  Each space in his home has been given much thought.  It is so beautiful!  This house is spacious, clean, beautifully designed and decorated.   The side effect was that both of my teenagers came home and got rid of clutter in their rooms!  I love it!  Looking forward to our next stay!"
222986,7004296,2013-09-03,2172463,Katie,"My friends and I had a fantastic stay. Perfect house for our getaway weekend! Clean, super comfortable, and we really loved all the outdoor spaces. Plus our host was a real pleasure to work with.  "
222986,8078056,2013-10-15,6357424,Jonathan,"This was my first experience on airbnb and Its was awesome.  I couldn't have asked for a better stay.  When we arrived Lyon was kind enough to give us a rundown of the city and point out some local hot spots.  The house was super clean and stocked well beyond my expectations, nicer then many of the hotels I have stayed in.  If I am ever back in Austin I will make sure to book with Lyon."
222986,8413618,2013-10-29,8462585,Shannon,"Our visit was fantastic.  The house is gorgeous and immaculate. Lyon was incredibly hospitable, including great local recommendations and a well stocked home.  He had thought of everything!  I definitely hope to come back soon!"
222986,9560322,2014-01-02,7341466,Tara,"I stayed at Lyon's house with a group of 7 people.  Lyon was super friendly, easy to deal with and gave us a lot of great recommendations for things to do in Austin.  His house was beautiful, well maintained and had a lot of thoughtful touches (a steam sauna in the shower, a large variety of cups, shampoo/soap, snacks, etc.).  It was plenty of space for our group!  The house is well located near 6th street/Rainey street.  It is walking distance on a nice day or in the case of cold/inclement weather (like we encountered) only a 5 minute cab ride away from these places.  I definitely recommend staying at this property."
222986,10589733,2014-02-26,9371757,Ali,Lyon was a wonderful and welcoming host. He was extremely hospitable and the house was very well equipped with everything we needed. Lyon even stocked some treats in the fridge for us! We had such a great stay and can't wait to go back!
222986,10680559,2014-03-03,9815669,Kristy,"Lyon's Luxe Spa House to put simply, was perfect! A group of 6 girls stayed there for a girls bachlorette weekend and it could not have been more perfect. The house is gorgeous, updated and very welcoming. The neighborhood was close to everything and we walked to quite a bit during the day, as we had gorgeous weather on our side. Delicious coffee is right around the corner and Lady Bird Lake was a quick 10minute walk. From there we continued on the lake path and ended up on Rainey Street, at a place recommended by Lyon (Banger's). On another day we walked to check out 6th street and you can even walk to the famous Franklin BBQ (about a mile away). 

The house itself as mentioned, is updated without missing a single detail, including a few welcoming snacks to start you off. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to have a meal at home, as we did. The steam shower is the master suite is a must and sadly we were to busy to take advantage of the spa bath tub in the main bathroom. The beds are extremely comfortable and the 3 outside areas make it easy to relax.

Lyon was very welcoming and gave us wonderful recommendations in the area, many of which me tried through the weekend. We are all ready to go back and would pick Lyon's home again, without any reservation. It was truly a wonderful home away from home in a perfect location! "
222986,10997871,2014-03-17,9575259,Elan,"We couldn’t have asked for anything more in a house. Lyon was a very kind and informative host. The house was well stocked with snacks, beverages, linens, and towels and comfortably slept 5 people. Most importantly, it was a short walk to most all of the events we attended at SXSW, without being in the thick of the action. We would certainly recommend Lyon Gegenheimer’s residence to anyone staying in Austin!"
222986,11736573,2014-04-14,8828293,Martha,"Five friends and I stayed here in April 2014.  Everything was absolutely perfect. First of all, the house itself (decorations, furnishes, finishes) are impeccable.  Not to mention great outdoor space to eat, drink and relax.  The bedrooms are all separated enough to allow for plenty of privacy.  The beds and linens were so comfortable.  It literally is really like a ""spa"".  

The location was also great.  I was a little skeptical at first because it seemed a bit far from DT, but there are plenty of super hip bars with a 10 minute walk and downtown was a 30 minute-ish walk, but an even faster bus ride (there are several bus stops within a block of the house and the bus was very easy to use).

Lyon was a fantastic host. He basically gave us an orientation on Austin when we arrived, telling us all the best places to hit up and what the ""too-touristy"" spots to avoid were.  He had the place stocked with sodas, waters, beer, snacks - the works!  We wanted for nothing.

I would not think twice about returning to Austin and staying here.  It could not have been more perfect."
222986,12614591,2014-05-06,11153923,Jane,"Our group of Austin neophytes were thoroughly pleased with this beautiful home, and proximate location to East Austin, Rainey, and Downtown. Everything you would need has been carefully provided, from extra linens and heaps of coffee, to an entire drawer full of soap! Our 8-person group of 30-year olds were fully accommodated, and the outdoor spaces would have been more utilized had it not been for the mozzies. One  piece of information that would have been appreciated is that there is a separate bungalow directly facing the back porch with shared patio, rentable to other guests. "
222986,13129320,2014-05-20,4603453,Laura,"My extended family (email hidden) Spa House for my daughter's UT graduation last week and I stayed in the Bungalow on the property. Having the entire property to ourselves was fantastic. It worked out amazingly well. Everyone had their privacy…my sister and her husband, my niece and her husband and their three young children were extremely comfortable. Lyon has provided every possible amenity to make the house both luxurious and practical.  The outdoor spaces are great- and  when some flies began bugging us, the screened porch was ideal.
Lyon is very organized and thoughtful- available to answer questions, make recommendation and provide an extra cooler when asked.  Everyone had a wonderful weekend, in large part due this exceptional property and Lyon."
222986,13343732,2014-05-26,1694043,Steve,"Just returned from a 3 night stay at the house for a guy's weekend (5 people in total). I would HIGHLY recommend staying here. Impeccably clean house, great outdoor space (the screened-in porch is a great perk) and Lyon is a great host. He left out a number of snacks (and some left-over beers) and gave us excellent recommendations for places to visit in Austin. When I told him that we would be going boating for the day, he went out of his way to lend us a cooler. Also, great location - easy walk to 6th street, Rainey Street, Downtown, etc. Could not be happier about our stay. Thanks again, Lyon. "
222986,16063815,2014-07-21,7110562,Lila,"Lyon was extremely accommodating! He made sure we were able to get into the house and showed us around making sure we got a quick tour of everything we might want to use or need. The area was in great walking distance to bars and restaurants and at night it was peaceful and quiet. The house was AMAZING and beautiful with anything you could ever possibly want, including paper umbrellas!"
222986,18798366,2014-09-01,12638966,Cory,I would highly recommend staying here. We had a group of eight folks and booked both the main house and the additional bungalow. The location was perfect. The house was impeccably clean. We were able to walk to both Rainey Street and other East Austin spots. And Lyon was a wonderful host. He was very accommodating and responsive to our questions. The house was perfect and had a wonderful outdoor space. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. 
222986,21274484,2014-10-14,10967575,Patrick,"A glorious, comfortable clean and well equipped house, perfectly placed for enjoying all that Austin has to offer. From first contact to final departure, Lyon welcomed us with advice, recommendations and gentle good humour. A great stay, with a fine host.
"
222986,21952607,2014-10-27,21055293,Andrea,"House was perfect for 3 couples in Houston for the Ironman. All three bedrooms are very nice--nobody felt like they got short shrift. House is SUPER clean with all of the amenities we could possibly have needed.  Location is very convenient for trail and wandering around downtown. Best part of experience was Lyon. Fantastic host. Welcoming, friendly, informative and helpful. Would definitely stay here again. "
222986,22524168,2014-11-09,21054136,Michael,"Lyon was a fantastic host. He made sure myself and my friends felt welcomed and gave us recommendations to made sure our stay went well. The house was beautiful, spacious and kept immaculate as seen in the pictures. He provides you with all the amenities you need and then some (even stocked the house with some snacks and sodas). I would definitely stay here again with friends. Neighborhood was great too and very close to the action on 6th street. "
222986,25545817,2015-01-19,6823838,Georgia,"Lyons house was so perfect for a girls trip this past weekend! Everything was as described; clean, spacious, lots of room, and plenty of outdoor space. Lyon greeted us as we checked-in and told us about some great places to see while in Austin. We felt extremely welcome. We could walk and ride our bikes to everywhere we planned to go. The location couldn't have been more perfect. The trail along the river was also very close. We were told there was a tenant in his other house behind ours but we didn't see him once. It was an all together great experience and I would definitely stay here again!!!"
222986,27579816,2015-03-08,4367481,Clare,"Our stay at Lyon's house couldn't have been better! He was so helpful in recommendations and support prior to our stay and even met us at the door when we arrived.  Lyon supplied us with snacks and drinks (included) which was much appreciated by all of the ladies in our party.  Every recommendation for food and drink in the area was perfect! The house was even better then the pictures; we especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck! Lyon's house is located in walking distance to great foodtrucks, coffee shops, and some fabulous restaurants-we couldn't have had a better time!  Urber was super easy around the area and we never waited more then a few minutes to get a ride.  We had a great girls weekend in Austin; I would recommend Lyon's house to anyone-a perfect host!

222986,28707432,2015-03-29,27045362,Eric,"We had a great stay at Lyon's place. Well located, beautiful home, great host. "
222986,29280519,2015-04-06,27861061,Jenny,Our family had a wonderful time during our visit to Austin. The house was better than expected and Lyon was a great host.  Plenty of room for the six of us that stayed there.  Very nice accommodations.  We love to cook as a family and enjoyed using the kitchen and it's amenities.  The neighborhood was fun to explore and close to downtown with easy access to the airport.  We would definitely do it again.
222986,29737062,2015-04-12,4342919,Michael,"Seven of us recently stayed here for an Austin weekend and absolutely loved it. This place is perfect if you're looking for a fun weekend out in Austin.

Lyon is an incredible host. He was very flexible with our group's check-in time and had a wealth of knowledge about the best restaurants, bars, and activities to do in the area - all in a convenient binder for future reference! 

The house itself was also great. There are multiple decks, a backyard patio, and nice furnishings. It's also well-positioned if you're in town for food an drink. It's an easy walk to bars on both East 6th Street and on Rainey Street. It's also nearby a lot of other fantastic restaurants."
222986,31188049,2015-05-03,11848141,Nikolas,"Six of recently stayed here for a guys' weekend.  Lyon was fantastic prior to the stay; giving us a very thorough guide to Austin and some of the places we might enjoy visiting.  I was not present for check-in, but from speaking with my friend whom he met, Lyon was very welcoming and a great tour guide.  We anticipated spending most of time out and about, but because the house was so nice, we spent a lot of time in the common areas.  Everything about the house was great, from the very comfortable beds, to the enclosed porch, and the dining room.  The house is also very centrally located to many of the places of town to explore, including Rainey Street and 6th Street. I highly recommend Lyon's house if you are planning a trip to Austin."
222986,32336628,2015-05-17,27622870,Susan,"Little things make a big difference... and that could not be more true than for the experience you will have with Lyon and this home. He has thought of everything a guest might need or that might help to make a visit feel a little extra special. We were a group of 7 women that get together every year and were looking forward to exploring Austin. Most of us were new to Austin, and Lyon was extremely helpful and responsive to my questions about specific areas and restaurants. The home was perfect -- perfectly clean, fantastic patios, and tons of little things to make you feel at home. Lyon has thought of everything. It also provides easy access to so many areas of the city and is walkable to many great restaurants. We loved the nearby food trailers, Rainey Street, Congress Street, and paddle boarding. As one friend stated, 'We hit a home run with this house!' Thanks, Lyon!"
222986,34289126,2015-06-07,25220956,Carolyn,"Lyon was a fantastic host! We were in Austin for a bachelorette party and 7 of us stayed at Lyon's home for the weekend.  The house was beautiful and perfect for a group our size.  Lyon was very accommodating, assisting us before our arrival by being available for grocery and alcohol delivery and providing great recommendations for the weekend.  While there, unfortunately the air conditioning had a breakdown but Lyon came over quickly to help fix it and even offered up his other rental next door when the air wouldn't come back on.  

The location of the house was perfect and a short cab ride or walk to many of the areas we had hoped to visit while in town.  Lyon even had an extensive book of recommended restaurants, bars and attractions to see while in town which helped round out our visit.  

We had a great time in Austin and would love to stay here again when in town! 

Thanks Lyon!"
222986,37312720,2015-07-06,32517408,Eric,"Don't hesitate to book this listing! This house is comfortable, convenient and completely stunning. From the perfectly curated furnishings (including some designer pieces and lovely antiques) to the thoughtful conveniences (sodas in the fridge and ergonomic extra pillows) you may find that your stay here is so much more luxurious than your own home that you won't want to leave. And Lyon is always the perfect host, making himself available when you ask for his wonderful advice on touring Austin, and becoming scarce once you've found your bearings--just the right amount of availability. Before a fun night out, be sure to enjoy a pre-taco-truck dinner cocktail in the beautiful dining room...any type of glass you might need will be available.  In the morning, jump in the steam shower to refresh. Then grab a perfect cup of coffee and a super soft extra blanket and curl up on the couch to watch a plethora of tv channels. Don't forget though, Austin is calling! This house has it all and in the city with it all.  Just a short walk to all the famous streets: Rainey, 6th and East 6th. But if walking isn't your thing, simply Uber or have one of the bike rental places deliver your wheels. Bottom line, this house is so convenient your car is easily forgotten. Go kayak the lake, jump in the frigid waters of Barton Springs or hike the Green Belt, there's so much to see and do! When you're sufficiently worn out, head home to your quiet oasis and get an amazing night's sleep on your memory foam mattress. Austin is one of the best cities in the world, why not stay in the best house to match?"
222986,39031071,2015-07-20,8177428,Jennifer,Lyon's house was beautiful and perfect for our gathering of 7 college friends. Lyon gave us great info about the area and left a book with listings for restaurants around town. The location was perfect for exploring Austin. Lots of things to walk to and just a short drive to downtown. You'll have everything you need in this house. I would highly recommend it.
222986,45931298,2015-09-07,33651766,Sasha,This was my first experience with airbnb but from the start I had been emailing with Lyon who quickly answered all my questions and gave me excellent recommendations.  His house is amazing.  It was decorated so beautifully and had everything you could ever think you may have forgotten on a trip.  The house was close enough to everything and in a neighborhood with food trucks and up-and-coming restaurants.  The house manual was helpful to reference for more recommendations and guidelines. I would highly recommend Lyon's adorable Austin abode to anyone. 
222986,48682741,2015-09-28,35035300,Kavitha,"We loved this home. This was our first experience using airbnb, and Lyon made the process very easy and welcoming. The location is perfect, ideal for our girl's weekend, especially when we wanted a quiet neighborhood and to be a part of the local Austin scene. Lyon was gracious and extremely informative about the area, dining, bars, music, parks, and trails, as well as the safety in walking around Austin. We would come back!!"
222986,51126689,2015-10-18,40800035,Laddie,"Lyon was a fantastic host!! It was our first time to Austin and Lyon greeted us at the door upon our arrival and right off the back made us feel so welcomed.  He recommended places to eat, get coffee, shop at, and different bars.  He was so willing to share his knowledge of his hometown and it made all the difference.  Not only was he an amazing host, but his property was gorgeous! Our entire weekend, we were all so shocked about how cute and well kept the house was.  It had such a homey feel and was a the perfect getaway.  I would definitely come back and rent from Lyon any day of the year! "
685451,3783937,2013-03-14,5253146,James,"We had a great few days here for SXSW! There was plenty of rom to spread out, the community center was a nice getaway from the rain with wifi and power as well."
685451,8054456,2013-10-14,8796339,Meghan,"Jim was a great host!  Very friendly and giving of what he had to offer on his property.  He had accomodations for us to make the camping EZ...fridge and stove for our food needs and a campfire ready to go with wood supplied!  Thanks Jim-O!

"
685451,21269899,2014-10-13,21375831,Davis,Stayed here for Austin City Limits Music Festival. Great communication and easy to book. Was very helpful even when we showed up late. 
685451,28150438,2015-03-18,29114416,Amy,I really enjoyed my stay here. Very peaceful and great to be able to camp so close to the city. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I would definitely go back.
685451,28232740,2015-03-20,4417638,Jill,"This was a great place! Jim was super nice, showed us around. Great base camp for sxsw. Good getaway from downtown!"
685451,42389010,2015-08-13,12548166,Michael,Great campground conveniently located to everything in Austin.
685451,44872020,2015-08-29,22457423,Marcus,"Did not meet host but I was provided with all the information I needed via telephone. Camping area is nice, on creek, quiet and simple. Site has hippie-ish appeal, residents are friendly and willing to answer any questions. Great if you're looking for an area in town to camp at."
7983040,50683683,2015-10-13,40610119,Logan,"Heaven's place was fantastic! Very nice apartment and  complex located in a very convenient location! Because of conflicting schedules i wasn't able to meet Heaven, but she made your stay very easy and enjoyable! "
7969462,46234088,2015-09-08,28258267,Denys,Will was a great host! Easy to communicate with. Location was extremely convenient for us as it is just a skip away from all of the hiking we did in Austin. Recommend if you are staying alone or with another person and need a place to just simply rest! 
7969462,46663404,2015-09-12,4306106,Melissa,"Staying at Will's place was great! It's in a great location and near plenty of cool restaurants and places in Austin. The condo itself was perfect for what we needed with access to a kitchen, nice bathroom, comfortable bed, and plenty of parking! There's also a friendly neighborhood cat that likes to say hello. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
7969462,46832758,2015-09-13,2673605,Lisa,"Just as described, perfect spot to crash for the night but I would stay a week if I needed to. 

Clean, comfortable, easy to access, everything you look for! On top of that, Will was very easy to communicate with! I'd be happy to stay again!"
7969462,47097486,2015-09-15,10564990,Jess,"Will was responsive from start to finish! His place was perfect for our trip to Austin/San Marcos. The location is centrally located with easy access to restaurants/bars and downtown (6th Street). Will was even generous to allow me to bring my puppy AND let us check out later than we originally planned. Perfect little dog area/poop station just steps from his front door. Also, ample parking and easy gate entrance as well. Be careful when exiting. There's a steep curve that's hard to see passed, which is scary when you can't see the cars coming. Overall, great guy, great location, great stay!! Totally recommend. Thanks, Will!! "
7969462,48113055,2015-09-23,5770822,Charles,Cool space within easy distance of everything in South Austin. Will was flexible about us bringing two cats along for the trip. Highly recommend!
7969462,48582047,2015-09-27,25673988,Sitaara,Will's space was beautiful and well taken care of. Will was extremely responsive and accommodating. The space was located in a great part of town- close to everything. Would stay again and highly recommend! 
7969462,48799540,2015-09-28,30978814,Andy,Place was clean and easy to get into. Perfect for a weekend trip. Thanks Will.
7969462,48939808,2015-09-29,34836237,Erin,"Will was a great host.  I had a couple of questions for him and he was quick to respond each time to answer them.   His place is in a great location, its not too far from downtown .  I'd recommend it.  "
7969462,49824442,2015-10-06,22027973,Jesus,"Will was very helpful throughout our stay. He made us feel right at home from the beginning and was easy to get ahold of when needed. The listing was exactly as described, well kept and in a great location. Everything was in close distance, but the apartment complex itself was tranquil. This place was more than comfortable and exactly what we needed for our stay. I would definitely recommend it!"
7969462,50645954,2015-10-13,32306589,Veronica,After staying at this property I would definitely recommend it to others.  Will was extremely accommodating and helpful. Will was prompt and available for questions and concerns.  The property was as listed and the couch that turns into a bed was very convenient.  The complex was also easy to locate and very quiet at night. 
7969462,50953856,2015-10-16,45005780,Lucy,"I absolutely loved the place! Very homey, close to everything and incredibly safe. Will answered my questions quickly and thoroughly, and never once made me feel like a pain (which I totally was!) So thankful for having found this spot :)"
7969462,51300022,2015-10-19,43010158,Caity,"Great place, looks just like the pictures ! Very comfortable and great location. Would definitely stay here again."
7969462,51639081,2015-10-22,45279033,Harriet,Certainly more personal than a hotel.
7969462,51722173,2015-10-24,13818534,Angie,Will was a gracious host. He brought a hair dryer over to the condo. He also provided a list of good places to eat in the area. 
8755584,50600758,2015-10-12,37313660,Kim,Kristin was a hospitable host. Great building with rooftop deck  great location. 
8755584,52131813,2015-10-26,46150868,Lindsey,"The home was very nice and clean and well taken care of. Towels were provided, although no one used the shower it was nice to have them if needed! Bed was extremely comfortable. Kitchen had ample supplies for cooking. All in all a great little apartment to rent! Very close to downtown and 6th street. We were able to Uber everywhere we wanted to go for a very reasonable fee (less than $10).

Getting into the home was a bit confusing at first because we did not have a gate key upon arrival. We just waited for someone to leave/enter the garage and parked on the roof as instructed, so not much of a hassle at all, just a few minutes of waiting.

It appeared that the gate key fob was out of battery, so we could not open the garage door once we got into the home and got the key, but were able to access all other gates into the apartment community. Again not much of a hassle because we could always park in the first floor guests spots and didn't need the fob to exit the garage.

69352,173143,2011-01-21,344208,Comet,"Imagine a home, perfect in every way for a place right around the corner from downtown Austin and this describes Sovay`s home. 

Sovay's place was exactly as she described. It's in a great location and is an absolute bargain for staying in such a convenient spot. It was clean, neat and comfortable. She was a pleasure to deal with and she really made me feel home.

I had my absolute privacy.  Bathroom was private and right next to my bedroom.  There was an LCD TV on the wall in the bedroom but I preferred surfing online on my notebook in the living room.  Cappuccino maker as well as some other small kitchen appliances are brand new for guests service.  If you prefer having your coffee outside, you have many options at Sovay`s wonderful suggestions.

It was a great experience being a guest her home you might want to have-
"
69352,177635,2011-02-02,341797,Eric,"sovay was great. very kind and attentive. the room is perfect for one but was a bit small for two.  the bed, flat screen, location, access to kitchen and laundry were all excellent. "
69352,178228,2011-02-04,365100,Laurie,"Sovay was a wonderful hostess! She was very accommodating, had great recommendations, and her home was warm and inviting. I felt right at home. The location is also perfect for checking out Austin- very close to great restaurants, yoga studios, cafes, shopping. I'll definitely be back!"
69352,180641,2011-02-10,168679,Tory,"Sovay's place was everything she described it to be.
Great location, nice home, comfortable bed.
I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place 
Completely! Thanks!"
69352,183297,2011-02-16,347254,Erin,"Sovay was a great host! We had a great visit in Austin, her place was clean and comfortable. Great coffee too! The house is super cute, has everything you need for a great alternative to a hotel. And it's close to everything great about Austin! "
69352,185671,2011-02-21,351292,Ilona,"Very comfy bed.  Thick and soft towels...what more can you need?  Oh! WiFi.  There is that, too.  Sovay was accommodating and available to help me get around Austin (I was there for a conference) and also respectful of my privacy.  I definitely felt at home in her house and comfortable leaving and returning at odd hours.  The neighborhood is great - there is a funky cafe within a few minutes walk - and downtown is about 1.5 miles away.  I also enjoyed patting her very sweet dog (separated from the guest area by an accordion gate) when I would return.  "
69352,187694,2011-02-23,384603,Scooter,"Trusting, thoughtful and generous hostess. If your looking for a peaceful place to cycle through your emotions the location couldn't be more perfect. Best moments: 'the late nite search for the ultimate rainforest noise machine' , 'big dreams, a little backyard cottage and cot bed to rest my head' , 'sharing pasta! and slowing down',  'biking up south 1st  only to find my new apartment only blocks from your salon', 'Wanting to jump in barton springs boots and all but they were dredging the pool for the summer season so I just sat back in my seat listen to some guitar players in the park and imagined it all'"
69352,189098,2011-02-27,347446,LaNysha,"Sovay's home was nice, clean, and comfortable. I appreciated her friendliness, laid back attitude, and humor. I would gladly visit Austin again and stay with Sovay and her two beautiful dogs!"
69352,195929,2011-03-10,370878,Shelly,"We enjoyed our stay with Sovay Reeder. She was very accomodating and helpful regarding activities, restaurants, etc in Austin and the area. The arrangement at her house was (email hidden)ivate bathroom, plenty of storage and wonderful living room and kitchen space. I would recommend Sovay to anyone visiting Austin."
69352,196474,2011-03-11,360392,David,"Great location, awesome private bath, and bed room!  Close to downtown, and great place over all!  The place was immaculate, and she had all of the amenities needed in the the Kitchen.

Sovay was an excellent host, and I will book with her first next time I'm in town!"
69352,201202,2011-03-17,350675,Irene,"Sovay is an amazing host! She took great care of me during my entire stay. The house is as cozy as it looks in the photos, the bed is super comfortable and the location is great. I would stay with her again in a heartbeat."
69352,204476,2011-03-21,349752,Asher,"A very nice house in a very convenient location. Clean and comfortable. I have no complaints! Sovay is awesome. Extremely generous and kind. An all around good person. She let me borrow her bike, which was really cool.  Very friendly and fun and easy to be around, has two nice dogs and a beautiful house. Two thumbs up! Thanks, Sovay!"
69352,207455,2011-03-23,414858,Dan,"Sovay's place in Zilker is fantastic. The room was perfect for one (maybe two)—everything clean and immaculate, just as it looks in the pics—and the espresso machine an added bonus. All in all, a great experience, one I'd definitely recommend. If ever I'm in Austin again, I would gladly stay here again."
69352,209300,2011-03-26,168679,Tory,Great Place!
69352,223583,2011-04-11,478822,Marc," A brilliant location and a wonderful area, if not the best location in Austin.
I would fully recommend this house. The host did not ask or put any restrictions on my stay. The perfect host.
"
69352,233905,2011-04-21,403424,Clara,"Great place to stay! Close to many walking trails and other outdoor activities. Sovay was an excellent host,fun to be around and very helpful. "
69352,242493,2011-04-27,469242,Rich,"My husband and I stayed with Sovay for 5 nights and totally loved it. Extremely convenient to all the exciting areas by car, local transport, or even (longish) walking. Easy parking right in front. The accommodations were completely comfortable. Loved having kitchen privileges. Sovay is a delightful hostess and very helpful too. This was so much nicer than staying at a hotel. Very reasonably priced for Austin too! Don't hesitate to book with Sovay!!!"
69352,244787,2011-04-29,524819,Ed,"No problems, and Sovay is personable and nice."
69352,248180,2011-05-02,145586,Kaiser,"We really enjoyed our stay, she is a wonderful hostess. There no better way to visit a city but to stay a hip local. Her house is very clean and quiet. I loved the espresso every morning. I would love to stay there any day over hyatt or Hilton because I made another good friend."
69352,254169,2011-05-07,458163,Christopher,"What a beautiful and satisfying place to stay with a marvellous host who helped me out in all manner of ways. Sovay dropped me off to buy new luggage at a great store only someone with local knowledge would have known about after my baggage was destroyed by the Southwest Handlers. Coupled with the fact she is a wonderful host and let me use her bicycle, plus her equally wonderful dogs - it was easily the best place I stayed on my trip to the USA. And her place is so close to everything. Would recommend to anyone. "
69352,259826,2011-05-11,527979,Melissa,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Sovay's during our 3 night mini vacation to Austin. The accommodations are just as Sovay describes them. Guests have access to a private bedroom, bathroom, and free reign to the kitchen/living room area. We felt very much at home and enjoyed being able to make use of the kitchen. 

Sovay's house is in a convenient location, a short walk to coffee shops, bike rental, and restaurants on Barton Springs Rd. as well as Zilker Park, where you can stroll around, swim, and kayak. Downtown Austin is not as quick of a walk - especially in the heat - but it's possible, and we walked in once. It's much more comfortable to walk a couple blocks to the bus stop and take a quick bus ride downtown.

Unfortunately we stayed busy enough that we never got to meet Sovay - but she was very hospitable and helpful through emails and texts. We appreciated that she didn't mind us coming and going at odd hours."
69352,263825,2011-05-15,388744,Roger,"Very nice clean, comfortable place to stay in a cool neighborhood.  Restaurants, trails, parks, Barton Springs Pool, Botanical gardens, and a sculpture park are all within walking distance.  Sovay was a great host and provided a really good list of things to do and see."
69352,269912,2011-05-18,567802,Steve,"Sovay's property is fantastic. My room was very clean, neat, and quiet, and the private washroom was very well stocked and very clean as well. Sovay was a very gracious host and I thank her for making my stay in Austin pleasant and relaxing. I highly recommend this bnb. "
69352,276792,2011-05-23,546864,Jack,"Sovay is a wonderful host and her cute house is right in a quiet, central part of town. A leisurely 1-mile walk took us to the stunning Barton Springs pool and one block away from Sovay's house is the extra-fun Alamo Drafthouse Theater. We had a great time :)"
69352,298314,2011-06-05,538893,Gary,"We wanted a location close to downtown - check.  Somethng quiet - check.  Not a hotel, something w/charm - check.  Super comfortable bed - check.  Sovay was extra accomodating - she made coffee, provided site seeing ideas and made her laundry available.  I like to run - the location is a 10 min walk/ 5 min run from the Town Lake trail.  Evertyhing went of seemlessly from check in to check out.  Thanks Sovay!"
69352,306465,2011-06-10,499030,Terri,"Sovay is a very interesting multileveled person who is very knowledgable inmany areas of interest. In my quest to possibly relocate here in Austin, she is a wonderful local resource and would be a great friend.  "
69352,311005,2011-06-13,491509,Sean,"The stay with Sovay couldn't have been better, even though I didn't get to see her much. 

The bedroom and bathroom was impeccable, with towels folded as by an expert, and with assorted necessities available in the bathroom.

The bungalow itself was also lovely and the environment quiet, and you could easily walk or bike downtown through the beautiful surroundings. "
69352,353149,2011-07-05,100512,Sesalee,Awesome time in Austin. Location is wonderful. Had a Great Stay!
69352,360933,2011-07-08,346371,Laurent,"Sovay is sweet, very approachable and made us fell very welcomed. She and her family even invited us to a backyard cookout they had on July 4th. 
She is a great resource for fun things to do in Austin but the best part of the stay was the location of her place. It's within walking distance of Zilker park. We had a great time."
69352,368939,2011-07-12,682574,Haley,"We couldn't have asked for a better first airbnb experience! Before we even arrived, Sovay had sent us a very detailed list of nearly 30 cool spots to check out in Austin. Very useful and we hitup several of them, which definitely enhanced our experience!
From the moment we got there until we left, we were treated like guests at a 5 star hotel. From egyptian cotton sheets to beautiful bath towels...and even little things like a toothbrush (I forgot mine) and wonderful smelling oatmeal soap, the experience was absolutely amazing! She has set the bar so high that I think it will be pretty difficult to match, much less beat. The house itself is very cute too...and the price is unbeatable! "
69352,374951,2011-07-15,791639,Shannon,"Sovay was a wonderful host who did absolutely everything to make my stay pleasant and hassle-free.  I also stayed at her second suite (the ""Itty Bitty Bungalow"") and she offered to drive me over there, which saved on time and made it quite convenient.  I definitely would have no hesitations recommending either of her places to future guests.  In terms of getting downtown, both suites are close to bus routes, but the Itty Bitty Bungalow is a bit closer (the #10 is right across the street)."
69352,386844,2011-07-21,205598,Ciara,"the room was cute and comfortable with a nice bed and soft sheets, and the suite was very private. sovay was very helpful and gracious, even though i only met her once! the location is great--i walked into and from downtown a number of times quite easily, and took the bus a couple of other times, which is very conveniently located near the house. i highly recommend staying here!"
69352,394128,2011-07-24,9355,Raia,"Sovay was a fabulous host! My sister and I were on a road trip from California to New York and decided to check out Austin. Sovay responded to our email very quickly and welcomed us graciously - despite it being very last minute! The place was clean, nice, and cozy. It was also in a great location in Austin. Sovay was extremely helpful - she gave us tips on everything from where to find the best live music to the best Mexican restaurants. Sovay and this suite absolutely contributed to our perfect mini-vacation in Austin - we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you!!"
69352,414697,2011-08-02,737655,Dorothy,"My Mother and I had a wonderful stay at Sovay's! The house was super cute and had so much character. She really makes you feel at home and makes you feel as if you rented her whole house, not just a room. She showed me how to make an awesome cup of cappuccino which was a real treat! The location is also ideal! My Mom and I walked to the Capital, Barton Springs and to Chuy's for their happy hour :-). My boyfriend and little doggy came at the last minute and Sovay was more than accomidating. "
69352,419677,2011-08-04,222788,Leslie,"Charming place and it's like having your own whole house -- except that you don't have to shop for condiments, coffee, tea, etc., those have been placed there by a fairy as have toiletries and other useful items.

Very comfortable, has character, great to be so near Barton Springs. Sovay is very nice and I'd recommend this to anyone, and will return."
69352,431769,2011-08-09,763336,Lindsay,"As another guest's review said, staying at Sovay's was *quite* like suddenly having my own comfy house in a perfect Austin location. Useful items are thoughtfully placed around the house in case they're needed, all the furnishings are cute, comfortable and of high quality. I did LOTS of Austin exploring and so didn't actually see Sovay until my last day, but she was very sweet and a perfect host. :)"
69352,439074,2011-08-12,819142,Luanna,"The suite is cosy, comfy and clean. Sovay thought of everything a guest could need. The neighbour isquiet and near to downtown. If you don't have a car the bus stops very nearby. Sovay was also very nice and hospitable. I had an excellent stay and would recommend this suite to anyone traveling to Austin"
69352,445379,2011-08-15,459037,Jamie,"We really enjoyed our stay at Sovay's property. The living space was clean, spacious and comfortable for our needs. We found the location to be quiet, yet well positioned for local amenities and easily accessible for downtown.

Sovay is a great host, friendly, hospitable, and with a wealth of local knowledge. 

Were happy to recommend."
69352,458940,2011-08-19,461733,Galit (Gail),This adorable house is in a perfect location with lots of privacy.  The room and bathroom had everything we needed.  The living room and porch are cozy too.  Sovay was highly responsive and took the time to make some helpful recommendations for us.
69352,492868,2011-09-01,868925,Kate,"Sovay was a great host. I had everything I needed for a great stay in Austin, including much needed air-conditioning as it was extremely hot. The bed was also amazing!
Sovay provided heaps of information about Austin, including a map, and was even nice enough to give me a ride to South Congress one day. 

"

69352,511662,2011-09-07,994248,Irene,"Sovay was a very gracious host =). Her home is beautifully decorated and in the PERFECT location ($7 taxi to downtown, and you can walk to entertainment and dining in SoCo). The bed is SUPER comfortable, and it was a plus having a television in the room (if you're a single traveler). Though I wound up eating out much, the kitchen is perfect for preparing meals. I would definitely stay again =)"

She showed us all the right places to go and   had a great house and lovely dogs. The room was private, the bed was really comfy and the bathroom and shower was lovely. Our stay in Austin was perfect and I would highly recommend staying with Sovay.

69352,725695,2011-11-17,937225,Thom,"What a quaint home and location.  Our first visit to Austin and to see our daughter and husband's new hometown brought us to this lodging.  Brewed coffee greeted us each morning.  We had brought items for breakfast, and the refrigerator was a great bonus.  The location - in SoCo area, was perfect not only for our family visit, but to also see Austin and the surrounding hill country.  The space in the Zilker suite was perfect: bedroom, closet, bath w/tub and shower, kitchen privileges and a great table to use for eating, or a work desk, etc...  The on street parking we safe and well lit.  This can be the perfect place to call ""home in Austin."""
69352,730758,2011-11-19,1360510,Mark Anthony,"I booked a stay at the Zilker Suite while on a business trip from Oregon.  Her place is very close to downtown, extremely clean, and I had everything I needed.  I would recommend it to anyone wanting a superior option to a hotel!"
69352,747991,2011-11-27,1434820,Lukasz,"Enjoyed the say, Sovay was a great host, too!

The place is quite close to Austin downtown, the 'vintage' piano in the living room looks awesome!"
69352,773148,2011-12-09,1414049,Vangelis,"I entered the place and actually thought I was in the wrong accommodation. But I couldn't be as I realised I had the key in my hand. A whole cottage to myself. The decor is fab, all the facilities and appointments one could desire, the location ideal (great neighbourhood) close to downtown and Sovay is a delight - easy to get along with and vibrant conversation. I've been on the road for 9 months and this is the most comfortable I've felt in all the places I've stayed...and some of that has been 5 star. He dad is also great value...we had really good chats. Many thanks Sovay"
69352,779637,2011-12-12,1159651,Carter,"This place is a beautiful and cozy little home in what might be the most convenient place in all of Austin, especially to the Zilker/Barton Springs, downtown, & S. Congress areas.  Two of us stayed here for a weekend while attending a wedding and just loved the place.  I have every intention of staying here in the future.  Austin vets will appreciate the location and newbies will appreciate the plentiful information that Sovay provides to help enjoy the area - don't think twice about staying here!"
69352,790154,2011-12-17,245639,Ken,"The cottage was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and has its own separate entrance. It is located on a nice, quiet, and safe street…which is within walking distance to one of the most trendy areas in Austin. Sovay was an excellent host that went above and beyond to ensure a great experience. She made me feel very welcome in her home and was always available for questions, concerns, or even just a chat. Highly recommended!       "
69352,796034,2011-12-20,1288937,Dave,"The Private Suite in Zilker was a great place to stay. It was very comfortable, and Sovay was a great host. She went the extra mile to provide a good stay."
69352,809528,2011-12-28,1241441,Alvino,"Sovay's house is located ideally to alot of venues in Austin, from movie theathers ( Alamo) to downtown. I truly enjoyed the privacy Sovay gave me the time I soent in her wonderful home. I would recommend her house to any one that wants privacy, enjoy all that Austin has to offer."
69352,843490,2012-01-06,1486317,Linda,Great location and wonderful people.  I would stay here again. 
69352,851263,2012-01-09,1142802,Janet,"I really enjoyed Sovay's place -- it was conveniently located to all of the fun spots on the south side of Austin, and the place itself was immaculate and filled with everything a traveller could need, from expresso maker to hair dryer to coffee table full of Austin books and magazines.  Sovay herself was very welcoming, informative, and gracious -- and so generous as to give me a ride to the airport when our paths crossed during my departure.  I would without question stay at Sovay's again.  Thanks, Sovay!. "
69352,874109,2012-01-21,1258924,Dana,"Austin is an incredible city and there was no better place to stay than at Sovay's. The house is quiet and clean, and is at a close distance to the city centre which allows you to have the best of both worlds. Sovay provides you with everything you could need on your trip and is always helpful when you have questions or in my case needing to use her washing machine and dryer. I highly recommend staying with Sovay, staying in Zilker made my holiday to Austin a great one and I felt right at home. Thank you Sovay for all your help. I will definitely be back!"
69352,885187,2012-01-27,628814,Victoria,"Staying at Sovay's feels like home away from home.  Best host, wonderful accommodations, lovely experience.  I'm a fan!!"
69352,904045,2012-02-06,1557942,Pamela,We stayed at Zilker Cottage for 3 nights while visiting our son in Austin.  ZC is a charming cottage.  It was perfect for our stay.  We especially liked having the table in the dining room to plan our days and the Tempurpedic mattress in the bedroom.  Being able to park on the street right in front of the cottage was great too.  ZC is close to downtown and the freeway.  Sovay was terrific at providing information for our stay.  We'll be back!
69352,911743,2012-02-10,1490855,Jim,"This was a very nice and not so small suite/ bungalow property in the very hip and scenic Zilker Park area. The place was very comfortable and with very good kitchen and bathroom facilities. The loan of a bike was a big plus and much appreciated, though you can walk into town (partly along the riverside jogging tracks) in about 30 mins. Sovay is a very pleasant and gracious host. And you’re just around the corner from the amazing Uchi sushi restaurant. Highly recommended. "
69352,920357,2012-02-14,935248,Laurie,I loved Sovay's apartment!  Very cute and cozy and in a wonderful area.  I was able to meet Sovay briefly that weekend (she was out of town most of the weekend) and she is so friendly and helpful.  I fell in love with Austin and will definitely return - and stay at Sovay's!  
69352,960980,2012-03-01,1382494,Eleanor,"Sovay was absolutely wonderful, her house and everything in it was first class all the way. Without a doubt I will stay there everytime I'm in Austin which I plan to do often. "
69352,974978,2012-03-06,1562474,Karla,"We enjoyed our three day stay at the Cozy and Quaint Zilker Cottage.
We loved the place.  It had all the ammenities we needed, and it was 
in a great Austin location.  We hope we can book this cottage for our next stay.  "
69352,980868,2012-03-08,858624,Rob,"Sovay was great. The entire transaction was so easy. She visited with me on my way out. Sovay was super friendly and was very insightful on Austin's great local culture. She was even kind enough to bring me fresh cream and sugar for my coffee. 

The cottage is lovely. Right in the heart of South Central Austin. Walking distance to a lot of great things. Comfortable bed and super clean. I recommend this to anyone looking for a nice Austin city neighborhood experience. You can't beat the price either. "
69352,985317,2012-03-10,166375,Jessica,"Sovay's place was great - clean, private, and in a wonderful location, near a number of great restaurants, a movie theater, a bowling alley, and the awesome Barton Springs pool. Sovay was super accommodating and a helpful host, and made sure our stay was comfortable with the bathroom stocked with toiletries and a nice size kitchen stocked with coffee, tea and other basics. Would definitely stay with Sovay again! "
69352,994978,2012-03-13,111919,Brett,"Lovely home!  Everything you need.  Easy bike ride in to downtown, close to lots of things in South Austin.  Best feature, though, is the host!  Gave us tons of information, very helpful, and even saved us with a great taxi recommendation during busy sxsw!  Thank you, Sovay!"
69352,1026692,2012-03-21,308561,Asha,Had a splendid time at the lovely bungalow Sovay. She was such a gracious host & really made me feel at home in Austin. What a nice place to come home to at the end of the day instead of an impersonal hotel. Not to mention the fresh coffee she left at the doorstep during my stay! Will be back in Austin & look into staying at the lovely bungalow again!!! 
69352,1036283,2012-03-24,1589778,Scott,"Sovay's house was a perfect oasis in Austin.  We couldn't have really asked for better accommodations.   I will stay there any time I am in Austin again!

"
69352,1054719,2012-03-28,628814,Victoria,"If you are looking for tranquility and luxury in your next stay in Austin, check to see if any of Sovay's properties are available before you look at any other listing. She has an impeccable eye for decoration, and is the loveliest, most laid-back host anyone could ask for. Highly recommend!"
69352,1063716,2012-03-31,465264,Katherine,"Sovay was a really communicative host, both before and during our stay. Her cottage was in a central location and in a beautiful neighborhood. The place is very cozy and the kitchen is beautiful and spacious. Very affordable as well!"
69352,1100805,2012-04-09,1120972,Teresa,"I had an excellent, comfortable stay in Sovay's cottage near Zilker Park. It was clean, cozy, safe, and best of all, right behind the Alamo Drafthouse movie theatre and minutes away (on foot) from Barton Springs Pool! The location is excellent, and Sovay was a friendly, accommodating host. "
69352,1127343,2012-04-14,1781535,Pamela,"A bright and beautiful little space in a great location.  Sovay is a great host and had lots of tips for us on exploring the city.  I would strongly recommend the Zilker Cottage to anyone visiting Austin, particularly if you're interested in the park and the Alamo draft house!"
69352,1154089,2012-04-20,415155,Mary Susan,This is a very cool and mellow spot in the heart of cool and mellow Austin.  I had family in from Oregon and New York and we spent much time in Zilker (3 boys under 4 yrs.).  I loved coming back here in the evening after wild and crazy days with boys.  Groovy!
69352,1166253,2012-04-23,937951,Ana,"Arriving in the wee hours, it was a relief to find the front porch light on and easy access to Zilker Cottage.  I loved the decor, a sort of metro-Euro-vintage chic.... which all blends together into a wonderful homey ambiance.

And the location cannot be beat.  This was my second trip to Austin, and I was thrilled-- this time --to be right near vibrant Zilker Park.  Perfect for a morning walk along the river.

What a charming home Sovay is generously sharing with us!  "
69352,1188045,2012-04-27,1562474,Karla,"Another wonderful stay at the Zilker Cottage.  What a delightful experience!  The place is charming, extremly clean, and well-stocked for all the things we need.  A perfect place to stay when we're visiting Austin.  
Thank you, Sovay, for making our stay easy, pleasantt and affordable..  
Wayne and Karla"
69352,1199345,2012-04-30,485109,Sarah,"Everything was great! Awesome location, cottage & host! I hope to stay here again soon."
69352,1226098,2012-05-04,1965622,Marianne,"Sovay's enchanting Zilker cottage was truly a jewel and the neighborhood it was in could not have been more perfect. When we arrived, it was trully immaculate and just warm. The kitchen was well-stocked with EVERYTHING you could truly need to cook and dine in and she even left us two beers in the fridge! She had helpful hints and instructions posted on the fridge door. The bathroom was spotless and stocked with Moroccan oil shampoo, Bath & Body works toiletries and plenty of towels. The bedroom: the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in. It was that good. I like that Sovay thinks about the little things you may need - from alarm clock, to extra toothbrushes, blow dryer, iron etc. We didn't get to meet her but from these little details, we can sense that we were taken care of!
And lastly, the location: you will fall in love with Austin just by staying in this neigborhood: Zilker. the Alamo Drafthouse is just a few walks away (we watched Avengers and thought it was the best movie expericence we had), Chuy's, Austin Java and Flipnotics Coffee House is just around the corner; Thom's Market is a charming little local grocer for your produce and alcohol needs and behind that is Flip Happy Crepes where they serve the best crepes in all Austin! And just  1/3 mile away is the Barton Springs pool, Zilker Boat Rentals where we rented kayaks (and had an amazing time!) and the best view of the Austin skyline from a hill on Butler Park by Austin Music Hall. 
We had an amazing time at Austin and the Zilker cottage was a major factor! We loved Sovay, her hospitality and her house!!! Can you tell? :)"
69352,1251605,2012-05-09,1668943,Lindsay,"This Zilker cottage was perfect. It was so adorable to drive up to every day and was in the perfect location- right near the park/lake/downtown & the best part- food trailers! It felt like home sweet home the whole time we were there. You have to park on the street- which was never an issue and we parked right in front of the door to the house. 

Loved Austin and 100% recommend staying here if you go! :)"
69352,1270114,2012-05-13,1783987,Peter,"Its a great little flat, loads of character, quiet and not to far from the centre of Austin which is easily accessible by public transport. We didn't see Sovay during our time in the flat but when I asked for more towels they arrived no the next day no problem at all. I would really recommend it and if/when I come back to Austin I would absolutely  stay there again."
69352,1294090,2012-05-17,2017115,Sandhya,"I loved Sovay's cottage. It is in the perfect part of town and easily accessible to anything you want to do in Austin.  Sovay left us some treats and a really sweet note.  The street parking was super easy and we parked right in front of the cottage.  The whole experience was nice and we had a great stay. If you are going to Austin I would recommend staying at Sovay's amazing cottage.

69352,1496974,2012-06-17,2184624,Darius,"Sovay was great. and so was the cottage: she sent me a ton of fantastic information about the area I was staying in, and the house was everything advertised (plus a little more, some welcome goodies in the fridge!). The AC held up against the brutal heat, and I slept well each night. Highly recommended."
69352,1564673,2012-06-26,1823722,Matthew,"We had a great time at the cottage, and highly recommend Austin and the cottage as a place to stay. The house is in a great location, provided you have some form of road transport, which is easy and inexpensive to arrange. So close to the Barton springs which is where we spent the majority of our time. Sovay provides a terrific service, including some very helpful hints about being a tourist in Austin, and presents clean and cosy accommodation. "
69352,1622544,2012-07-03,2470484,Dave,"Absolutely great place to stay. 
Convenient, clean, and great parking. Kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable extended stay. 

Super convenient (walking distance) to Barton Springs and the running trails. 2 Minute drive and you're downtown-unbeatable.

Would definitely recommend to others and this will be my first pick when returning to Austin.

Thank you Sovay!
"
69352,1654606,2012-07-08,782571,Sally,Sovay's place was charming.  The location was perfect.  Near everything we wanted to be close too.  My husband and daughter biked and swam at Barton Springs almost daily and I shopped and read.  We watched fireworks and dined all within either 1/2 a mile to 5 miles.  Sovay was a great host and so kind tuo my family and especially my daughter.  We will be back!
69352,1786614,2012-07-24,2023778,Crystal,Zilker Cottage was wonderful! My boyfrind and I had a wonderful time and the house was beautiful. Sovay was a great host she emailed us a extensive list of things to do in the area and was always avaiable if we had needed her. 
69352,1821294,2012-07-28,1965622,Marianne,"This is the ONLY place we'll stay when in Austin! I had a chance to meet Sovay, our host (who also own Salon Sovay) and she is one of the most genuine and sweetest people I've ever met. I gave her my full trust with my hair and I'm so grateful I did - I've never seen my hair this great. But her place is always flawless and warm and stocked. I even met Santi, who keep the Zilker Cottage clean and immaculate - he's sweet and awesome! This place is just WONDERFUL. 3"
69352,1834894,2012-07-30,2180242,Sarah,Adorable place. Great stay. Simple as that. 
69352,1941300,2012-08-10,2861782,Peggy,"The Zilker cottage stay was my first experience as an Air B&B guest and I think I'm hooked. Sovay provided a thorough, personable and extensive list of where in the area  to go to eat, shop and play. The greenbelt was nearby, as was Barton Springs. Plenty of coffee and food and drink are all a short walk away. 

I spent a lot of time in the sweet kitchen and at the big wooden table featured in the photo. The bedroom was comfy and completely dark and quiet - I slept very well. Sovay stopped by and checked on me and was available if I needed anything. She had already set me up with linens and soap and all the kitchen equipment necessary for my stay. An ideal place for a south Austin visit. 

"
69352,2041243,2012-08-20,1094175,Marilyn,This was my 2nd time staying here and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Sovay provides everything needed and more. She's a wonderful host. I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Austin.
69352,2108918,2012-08-27,2737088,Lauren,we loved staying at Sovay's cottage. It was in a great location - we walked to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. We will definitely be coming back.
69352,2155669,2012-08-31,3381622,Sheila,"Sovay took us in at the last minute in our evacuation from Isaac. Thank goodness for her, because without her, we're not sure where we would have found ourselves and our pups. All 4 of us were comfortable in the space. Being pet-friendly is a HUGE plus, and we wouldn't stay anywhere where we would be forced to board our pups.

The house was clean, the bed was so comfy and everything was where you would expect it to be (silverware, too!). There were clean sheets, clean towels and plenty of samples for the things we forgot at home! 

The fully stocked kitchen was perfect, and the gas range was awesome. We cooked while we stayed there and the dishwasher worked fine. Sovay left great instructions on how to get in and out of the cottage easliy, and the A/C (coupled with the tall oscillating fan) worked great. We were able to walk the pups in the neighborhood, at any hour, with no problem.

This cottage is just minutes from downtown Austin. Whole Foods, the YMCA (for the gym) and Starbucks are all within an easy five minute ride. The neighborhood had some foot/bike traffic, even late at night, but everyone was friendly. We never felt concerned about our safety at all. We loved the little personal touches in the cottage and will definitely stay again should we find ourselves in Austin again."
69352,2192877,2012-09-04,2339698,Boz,Sovay's cottage was perfect for our needs.  Love the location and everything was very clean.  Great kitchen for meals if you have a night in.  We would definitely stay here again in the future!
69352,2462659,2012-10-01,1152175,Stephen,"We had absolutely everything we needed at the home. It was very cute and in a wonderful location. The best attribute by far was the bed. As fun as Austin was, my girlfriend and I actually really looked forward to going to sleep at night or taking a nap. Sovay shared plenty of places to check out, many of which we took avantage of. This place is great and I hope to stay again."
69352,2507984,2012-10-04,3451395,Jan,"This little cottage is the perfect Austin experience. Sovay was lovely and I would recommend this to anyone. Cute, clean and a great location. I plan to stay again. "
69352,2537685,2012-10-08,3274729,Jake And Pam,"What an enchanting cottage.  We were in Austin visiting family who live in the 04 area of Austin, so the location was perfect.  The cottage is just as she describes it and we would hope to be able to stay there again during subsequent visits.  Loved seeing the leaping chickens outside the kitchen window on the morning of our departure!  thanks for everything Sovay, Pam and Jake Ingram "
69352,2595573,2012-10-13,3450047,Vikas,"We had a fantastic time at the cottage. It was lovely, charming and very comfortable."
69352,2612242,2012-10-15,3206322,Ryan,My wife and I were in town for ACL and stayed at the cottage.  Sovay was the perfect host and was always quick to respond to any questions we had.  The cottage was great and we felt like we were home. We will definately stay there again during our next trip to Austin!
69352,2677025,2012-10-21,2772723,Utz,"Awesome Austin.  Great cottage in a great location.  Sovay did not miss any details.  We felt like we were at a boutique hotel (with chickens).  Clean, comfortable, quite…. just the way we like it! "
69352,2721450,2012-10-26,549712,Minerva,"Fantastically located, and I thank Sovay for truly letting us feel that her lovely little cottage was ""home"" in the (too brief) time we were there. As well, thank you Sovay for the cold beer after a LONG, HOT drive, and thanks for taking my puppy to meet your dog and your chickens! Much appreciated! Wonderful."
69352,2760812,2012-10-30,3609554,Candice,"My stay at Sovay's was a pleasure! I travel a lot for work and stay in hotel, after hotel, after hotel. What a great change of pace! Her home is comfortable and the neighborhood was delightful. Prior to my arrival I received an email from Sovay with a list of things to do and places to go to while in Austin. That list was my bible for the four days I was there as I went down the list and explored the city. If I find myself in Austin again (for work or pleasure) I will absolutely stay at Sovay's home again. "
69352,2791004,2012-11-03,3416891,Donna,"The cottage was a perfect place to stay to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary in Austin. In a quaint quiet neighborhood walking distance to the park and several restaurants, made this awesome little treasure even more enjoyable. We highly recommend the Enchanting Zilker Cottage."
69352,2805736,2012-11-05,320536,Kevin,Lovely place in a lovely neighborhood. Sovay was very accomidating and has her cottage set up to be a cozy welcoming home for as long as you wish.
69352,2917791,2012-11-19,3652881,Cara,"Sovay's cottage was exactly as pictured and very cute, clean, and comfortable.  She was very accommodating, allowing us to check in earlier due to last minute changes in our travel plans.  The cottage is located on a quiet street and is a 5 min walk to the Drafthouse theater (fun!) and a few blocks from public transportation (metro bus).  

We visited Austin during F1 weekend and did not have a car.  For a similar weekend event in the city, we'd recommend bringing a car if you stay at Sovay's cottage - there is free street parking and public buses were very limited by her place. "
69352,2965568,2012-11-26,575062,Mike,"We visited Sovay's cottage for a romantic Thanksgiving weekend and it was above-and-beyond from the start. It's in a nice and Austin-quirky neighborhood in walking distance of both Zilker Park and Alamo Drafthouse and a 5 minute drive downtown. (We recommend cabs for evening outings.)

The house was lovely, with lots of thoughtful amenities including fresh eggs from Sovay's chickens (who aren't noisy), hand-made shampoos and soaps, lots of books and a well-stocked kitchen. Floors are hardwood and tile. Lovely front porch for sitting out. HVAC works great.

Sovay is extremely responsive, answering requests by text and email within an hour. She even offered a late check-out unprompted.

The place is very cozy and private with everything you could want for a great time in Austin. Highly recommended and will stay again."
69352,3000661,2012-12-01,3194380,Jen,"Great location despite the construction at Lamar Square. My husband walked to the Alamo and we dined at Gibson across the street from Lamar. Also found a great cheese shop up the road. Accommodations were great with the attention to detail of a savvy host. As an old Austinite, would highly recommend for a single, couple, and I suppose even a 3rd couch sleeper. Thanks!"
69352,3015493,2012-12-03,1562474,Karla,"This is our second time to stay at the Enchanting Zilker Cottage` Downtown and our fourth time to stay in one of Sovey's properties.  This is a perfect place for us to come when we visit Austin.  The experience is overall five star.  You cannot go wrong with  Sovey and her properties.  It is so much better than a hotel.  Accommodations A+...Cleanliness A+...Communication and Transactions A+...Location  A+  Information A+ ...Pricing A+
Book early...this is a coveted spot."
69352,3049180,2012-12-09,249456,Billy,"Great little house!

Was easy to get back and fourth from downtown. Sovay was very helpful and gave me lots of great info about the city and surrounding area."
69352,3124763,2012-12-20,3180,Cin And JF,"Very cute place, and great location, have already told several friends.  Thank you!"
69352,3184355,2012-12-30,607190,Marcia,"This is such a charming and welcoming cottage for an Austin visit.  It has been wonderfully renovated, and had all the amenities  of a home away from home:  soft sheets, toiletries, Moroccan argan oil-based hair products, lots of light, and a perfect location for all the great restaurants, bakeries, and shops on S. 1st, S. Lamar, and S. Congress, as well as walking distance to Zilker Park and the hike and bike trail around Lady Bird Lake.  Sovay is a welcoming host and makes sure you have all that you need.  I had my hair cut by her while there - best haircut ever."
69352,3212931,2013-01-01,4449056,Dana,"Great little romantic cottage in the Zilker neighborhood.  My husband is a chef, we run an event business in CA and came to Austin to ""eat"" our way a ruined town.  This cottage was casual and elegant with full kitchen, very cozy bed and everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.  It is obvious that Sovay is a detail oriented host!  Everything was great and the location was excellent for accessing all the eateries we wanted to explore including:  Barley Swine, Lenoir, Olivia, Uchiko, Congress Cafe, 24 Diner and many of the food trucks and trailers that Austin is famous for.  Would recommend this cottage to anyone!  Will come back in the summer to enjoy all the water oriented fun on the river.  Thanks, Sovay and  your assistant Megan!"
69352,3332105,2013-01-12,4307329,Brian,Helpful owner Sovay made my stay very comfortable.
69352,3376239,2013-01-20,4232653,Sondra,"We had a wonderful time at the cottage.  Souvay has fabulous taste, and the cottage was very comfortable and homey.  Our granddaughters were delighted to be able to visit the chickens (and we enjoyed it too.)  

i hate to say anything negative, because it is a special place, but I already wrote to Souvay about a couple of minor things.  First, the TV is in the bedroom.  I never watch TV in bed, maybe it''s just me, but I either read or sleep.  It was a problem because my husband and I keep different sleeping schedules.  I tend to go to sleep earlier, while he might watch a game or some late night show after I go to bed.  That's a problem if the TV is in the bedroom.  I guess I also think it's not good Feng Shui (sp?) to have the TV in the bedroom.  

Second, the cottage has an overwhelming odor of fake candle scents.  I'm all for fresh smelling things, but I actually had to put one of the candles out on the porch to see if that would help.  It didn't.  

I also think the description needs to be updated.  The whole complex which contained the Alamo Draft House and other entities is being demolished, and is a real eyesore.  I'm not saying that it takes away from the cottage it's self, but it does make the neighborhood less appealing.  The description should be changed to reflect the changing neighborhood.  

All said, I give it 4 stars.

Thanks Souvay "
69352,3396775,2013-01-22,4629827,Judy,We loved the cottage!  It was clean and welcoming when we got there.  The location was good and in a quiet neighborhood.  Hopefully we will return to Austin again!
69352,3479679,2013-02-05,4093396,Catherine,"Zilker Cottage is the perfect location for all the activities provided at Zilker Park:  music, recreation, path along the river, picnics.  Zilker Cottage is close to every thing in Austin.  The cottage is lovely and Sovay provides her guests with generous amenities. When we had questions or concerns, her responses were prompt and helpful.  The kitchen is equipped for cooking and indoor dining.  The neighborhood is very friendly."
69352,3598608,2013-02-22,3770640,Sheila,"We had a wonderful stay at Sovay's Enchanted Zilke Cottage!  It was neat, clean, lots of extra touches (great local coffee, shampoo, etc. waiting for us) and very close to lots of historic places.  We also got lots of advise for walks, places to visit and lots of local culture.  When we return to Austin we would love to stay here again - it was perfect for us!

Thank you so much Sovay and William."
69352,3681820,2013-03-04,3995393,Hannah,The cottage has all the ammenities of home plus tons of charm. It's location is very central to everything in Austin.
69352,3721310,2013-03-08,4865261,Kathleen,"We had a great stay at this funky little cottage. Some of highlights being a good sized and very well stocked kitchen, the bath had nice thick towels and complimentary hair and bath products, the bed was very comfortable, very nice coffee and a great tea selection, and last but not least the chickens and the fresh morning eggs! Sovay and her dad are a treat to meet."
69352,3816953,2013-03-18,2829854,Jamie,"Sovay's cottage is one of the best places I've stayed via SXSW. It's absolutely beautiful and full of charm, a lovely, magic feeling place to escape back to. She also left us some wine and a kind neighbour brought us free range eggs. Sovay knows how to add those little finishing touches that make a stay really special. Couldn't recommend her place highly enough."
69352,3906387,2013-03-26,4462108,Juliet,"We had a wonderful stay at the Zilker Cottage. The cottage was beautiful! It was very clean and had any amenities we could want, even fresh eggs! It was a perfect location for exploring Austin and I would highly recommend it."
69352,4106739,2013-04-10,5066859,Maren,Zilker Cottage was a great place to stay!  It was very comfortable and Sovay provided everything we needed (including eggs for breakfast). It felt like we were staying at a good friend's house. 
69352,4149156,2013-04-14,1823751,Matt,"The cottage is a lovely place to stay. Great location within quick reach of much of the city, and full of character. We loved the way it was furnished and felt very welcome."
69352,4202625,2013-04-18,1370443,Annick,"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Zilker cottage for vacation, visiting from Brooklyn for the week. The cottage was perfect, so cute and clean. Great location, and of course the fresh eggs were the best! I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Sovay!
"
69352,4265034,2013-04-23,1869365,Chris,"We had a great time at Savoy's place! The place was very clean, well stocked & super cute. We loved feeding the chickens on site as well. Great location that is just minutes from all of the great spots to go in Austin. We would highly recomend staying at Savoy's place & plan to stay there again on our next trip back to Austin."
69352,4401192,2013-05-03,3504571,Fred,Just returned from a one week stay at the Ziker Cottage...we loved our stay.  The cottage is perfectly located and very very quaint.  We attended the Austin Food and Wine Festival just down the street.  Great Festival.  Sovay's cottage was perfect and her communication was great and timely.  We could not have asked for a more pefect place or host.  Hopefully we will visit Austin again...thanks Sovay.
69352,4463259,2013-05-06,1361707,Cindy,"A very lovely cottage in the best location. As soon as we arrived Sovay'as father had us fresh eggs. & carrots. Sovay has some great vintage items to check out inside her tidy and clean home. Everything was better than expected and the next time we are in town, I definitely will book again. Thanks for letting me feed the hens :)"
69352,4511772,2013-05-09,6200227,Frederick Evan,"Sovay is a charming host, and really goes out of her way to make sure the stay is comfortable, and that her guests know all that Austin has to offer.  The house is very conveniently located near downtown (easy bus ride), and is ideal for those wanting to explore Austin from a central location.  

Definitely a cozy, charming house for one or two people, but three would be tight."
69352,4597925,2013-05-14,5800282,Hanna,"This was my first trip to Austin and I am so happy that we chose to stay here. We were very comfortable in the cottage and felt right at home. The cottage is also in a great location to get to and from downtown, So Co, and Zilker Park. "
69352,4702190,2013-05-21,5309626,Rhonda And Leo,"Great location!  Great value.  Sovay was awesome, easy to get a hold of.  We had some AC trouble but she was on top of it immediately and got it fixed the next day which we really appreciated.  I understand a new unit was being installed after we left."
69352,4869255,2013-05-29,6513824,Augusta,"We really liked this cute cottage! It's charming, perfect for the weekend getaway, and located well. Sovay's dad welcomed us and introduced us to the quiet and secretive chickens in the back, and gave us fresh eggs and blackberries from his garden. It was perfect. We loved it and would love to come back!"
69352,4911743,2013-06-01,5264480,James,This property was great. Very comfortable and a lot of personality. The location is hard to beat for running and access to Town Lake and the restaurants at the bottom of the hill were perfect. Looking forward to staying here again in the future...
69352,5211675,2013-06-18,6322466,Saul,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Sovay's cottage for 4 nights and it was the perfect home base for our trip in Austin.  Not only is the location perfect, the house was adorable and perfect for a couple.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay here the next time I come to Austin!  Thanks Sovay!"
69352,5367198,2013-06-26,1002508,Charles,"This is my 5th time to use AirBnB. My third in Austin. This was a great experience.  The cottage was perfect for me on a two day business stay.  I wished that I could have stayed longer.  The kitchen was stocked with the essentials so that I didn't have to run out in the morning for fresh coffee.  I'm really familiar with Austin.  This location is fantastic.  Close to Barton Springs, Downtown, So. Congress, and lots more.  It's on a quiet street.  I'd definitely stay here again."
69352,5466840,2013-07-01,6857563,Peter,"Comfortable, quiet, convenient cottage in suburban neighborhood near Zilker Park, Barton Springs and various greenbelts.  Easy and quick access to downtown. On-street parking was no problem. Large and well-appointed kitchen is a big plus. Central air and heat. Free wi-fi.

For a price comparable to upscale chains (Hilton, Sheraton) this cottage provides far more room and a far more peaceful and welcoming atmosphere.  The kitchen and sizeable dining area lend themselves well to entertaining if you are in town visiting family or friends. Highly recommended whatever the length of your stay."
69352,5918617,2013-07-22,7182271,Beth,"This was our first experience for Airbnb and it was a GREAT one! We live in Houston and wanted a weekend getaway to Austin. Upon our first contact with Sovay, she was super helpful, and very informative about the area around her home and things to do. Her home is in a great spot to explore Austin, both in the daytime and at night.

The house was exactly as pictured with a wonderful welcome packet, fresh coffee and even fresh eggs from her chickens on the property! The bathroom also had some of Sovay's hair and bath products that we wanted to buy to take home (yes they were that good!).

Her father, William, is also on the property and was always around should we have had any questions or needed anything at all.

We would HIGHLY recommend Sovay and her home to anyone staying in Austin.

Beth & Doof"
69352,5989954,2013-07-25,328408,Maxine,"Sovay's place is amazing!  Super clean, cozy, and convenient to the park and restaurants in the neighborhood.  The cottage has beautiful decorative touches, and has a really great vibe.  It was great to meet the darling chickens!  "
69352,6087016,2013-07-29,4870165,Brook,"The cottage was lovely and everything was as promised.  We had no hiccups or delays, communication was fast and precise.  Everything you could want from a host.  There were lots of great books and recommendations too. Thank you! "
69352,6142171,2013-07-31,859269,Tom,"Loved the place! Cute, clean and perfect for our Austin getaway. Great place!"
69352,6208078,2013-08-03,7798099,Willis,"Great location for visiting Zilker Park/Barton Springs. Nicely furnished, plenty of kitchen utensils, perfectly clean, full size fridge stocked w/ condiments; complimentary coffee, and toiletry items. I was very pleased with these nice touches. Communication was excellent and timely. She also provided plenty of house notes and Austin magazines.  The apartment itself, however, is not exactly enchanting, IMO. It's tiny; the floor plan is disjointed so feels smaller than it is; the Wi-Fi did not work in the living room, on the couch; the lighting is poor; it's generally dilapidated. But the kitchen and bathroom appliances worked well and suited our purpose just fine. I feel we got a good deal.  I'm not sure why it costs extra for a second guest but we were pleased that she waived the extra person fee for our 3 month old. Oh, her dad, who lives next door, is super friendly and was fun to talk with!"
69352,6256923,2013-08-05,1439872,Sierra,"Great location, good space for 2 people, and lots of charm!"
69352,6469027,2013-08-13,7551568,Haley,"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Sovay's place! The house is clean, quiet, and in a great location. Sovay really went out of her way to make sure everything was comfortable for us and left an impressive list of recommendations that helped us make the most of our trip. Her dad was staying in another house on the property and was a blast to talk to- and he gave us fresh eggs from the backyard! We're looking forward to staying here again whenever we're in town!"
69352,6666916,2013-08-20,7778547,Chuck,"Great space...fantastic location. Will become my permanent go-to space when I travel to Austin...unbelievable value, and it has all of the talked-about Austin quirkiness."
69352,6950265,2013-08-31,8434407,Otash,"We had wonderful stay. 
Thanks"
69352,7012904,2013-09-03,6590111,Elizabeth,"The Austin cottage is lovely! The location couldn't be better, so close to everything. The house is really great. Definitely recommend!"
69352,7161691,2013-09-09,6905739,Claire,"The cottage was great.  It was walking distance to some really great restaurants and fun bars.  When I was staying the Alamo Draft House was closed for renovations, but when it is back up and running it will be wonderful. Sovay and Steven made my stay really very comfortable.  I went to Austin to write and Sovay's cottage was the perfect quiet, private retreat.  I would happily stay there again.  Make sure to stop by The Gibson! (website hidden) "
69352,7270316,2013-09-13,1465905,Lauren,"When we arrived at the Zilker cottage, it was even more enchanting than in the photos. The front porch is wreathed in climbing vines and looks oh so welcoming. I wish the interior lived up the exterior charm a little more--it was a fine place, made all the better by Sovay's very savvy Austin recommendations and guide she left for us (we felt like we had the inside scoop!), but it was a little dark for our tastes. We tend to like things kind of bright though, so if you are okay with a cozier atmosphere, this the place for you. Lighting aside, the kitchen, bedroom, and bath had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good, too. There are some great touches--the kitchen has filtered water, there are lots of interesting books on the shelf, there is a basket of bath goodies for you, the aforementioned guides to Austin. Sovay wasn't there, but her father was and he was a great host--left us to our own devices unless we needed anything, which is perfect in our book. Sovay's recommendations were fantastic--again, made us feel like we had the inside track. Don't miss out on Elizabeth St. Cafe--we loved it so much we at there twice in two days! The location is good--a quick drive to SoCo and downtown, and near some great restaurants. Overall, a great experience. "
69352,7670820,2013-09-29,4550488,Kc,"Thank you Sovay,
What a wonderful place to stay.All the amenities you need with little (website hidden) was so close to downtown and a short taxi ride. I rented a car at the Enterprise down the street and it was half the price of the airport rental.Everything was clean and it was very quiet. I appreciate the tips and quick responses to all my questions.
What a wonderful host. Thanks again
KC"
69352,7811656,2013-10-04,8468333,John-Paul,"The Cottage was fantastic. We had not been to Austin before, so we were unsure where to stay, however Zilker is the perfect place. Very close to barton springs and within easy reach of downtown (6th etc) and South Congress.
We loved our stay and the southern hospitality was great!
I would recommend staying here to anyone."
69352,7987934,2013-10-11,9028877,Phoebe,"It's been a little over a week since our stay in Austin, and we still wake up wishing we were back in Zilker Cottage. From start to finish Sovay was an absolute pleasure to correspond with, responsive, communicative, providing pages of amazing tips to make our Austin visit more special. Upon arrival at the cottage, we were pleased to find how cozy and well-kept the house was, not to mention it's convenient proximity to numerous popular locations and activities around Austin. 

The highlights of our trip were a run along the river, which the cabin is less than ten minutes from. We loved our visit to Barton Springs in Zilker Park, also set right in the cute Zilker neighborhood. We  tremendously enjoyed our kayak rental from the park. The latter were some of the many helpful suggestions from Sovay. As a nighttime recommendation, I suggest visiting the Rainey neighborhood. The several block district just off of 6th street consists of old homes that have been renovated into cool bars - Rainy is just a five minute cab ride from the cottage. 

We hope to visit Austin again very soon, and we would be thrilled to have another stay at Sovay's Zilker Cottage...

"
69352,8080253,2013-10-15,7849702,Diane,"We enjoyed our stay while we were in town for the ACL Festival.  The walk from Zilker Park to the cottage was amazing.  Unfortunately, the weather cut our trip short but we still enjoyed visiting the Austin area.  Thank You Sovay for checking in on us and your prompt communication.  This was my first (website hidden) experience and I was very impressed.  "
69352,8217589,2013-10-21,8779506,Norma,"Extremely frustrated with the local hotels doubling their rates for UT's Family Weekend, I decided to try the Zilker Cottage.  Not only was the price extremely affordable, but the quality and charm of the home far exceeded my expectations.  I will definitely book this property or any other of Sovay's for my subsequent Austin visits. "
69352,8365764,2013-10-28,575062,Mike,Our second time at Sovay's cottage and great as before. Kitchen and bath are ridiculously well-stocked and the location can't be beat. And Sovay's super-responsive and helpful. Our go-to Austin lodging.
69352,8438449,2013-10-30,9561468,Shaddai,"We loved how close & convenient it was to many mom & pop restaurants. Being able to walk in a charming neighborhood, and feeling like home after a long day of sight seeing. William was also a treat to talk to, and he didn't lie when he said their eggs would be the best eggs we'd ever have. I was able to have a company work meeting via phone as well, and still feel like I was on vacation. Overall, a great relaxing environment for those who love rustic & country charm. We will definitely be staying here again."

We were kinda bummed that the antique piano in the photos wasn't there, but other than that, we enjoyed our stay greatly. William, the caretaker, was extremely nice and full of all the need-to-know Austin info. Wish we had longer to stay! "
69352,9249501,2013-12-16,2018234,Eric,"My wife and I stayed at Sovay's cozy & charming cottage for 3 nights.  Overall we found it to be a good place to rest our heads during a fun long weekend in Austin.  Sovay was very easy to deal with during booking and checking in/out.  Though we had no specific purpose on our visit (besides maybe eating tacos for every meal of the day), I can see this being an especially great place to stay during Austin City Limits festival, as it is walking distance to Zilker Park.  

We had some bad luck with ongoing construction during our stay.  They were replacing sewer lines in the street right across from the home, and it was quite noisy for our first afternoon & following morning.  After that, though, it was quiet, and I imagine this was a one time setback.  

There is a good deal of construction going on closer to South Lamar Boulevard.  You don't hear it when you are in the home, but it does make it less inviting to walk to businesses located on South Lamar, even ones that seem like a reasonable walk based on viewing a map. (Having said that, Uchi is an amazing restaurant less than a half-mile from the cottage and it's definitely worth the walk if you can make a reservation.)    

I would highly recommend renting a car if you wish to visit other parts of town (East Austin, South Congress, anything near UT campus).  Taxis were extremely unreliable and hard to get in contact with.  You can catch a city bus a short walk from the place, but unless you are traveling Downtown, you will need to make one or two transfers to get where you are going.  

In conclusion, cute place and good service from the host.  If you don't mind driving (or taking buses) to get to other parts of town, I'd definitely recommend.  "
69352,9319807,2013-12-21,10526020,Sue,"This was a very sweet cottage in a good neighborhood. The street had construction crews working on utilities while I was there, but the owner worked out the parking so it was no problem at all. I would stay there again."
69352,9706115,2014-01-06,3553137,Shannon,"This place is BEYOND cute! Zilker Cottage is situated in the Zilker Park area; which is a very active and unique section of town close to downtown Austin with awesome restaurants and several hiking trails (near Barton Springs). Our stay at the Zilker Cottage could not have been any better!!  Sovay is an incredibly thoughtful and accommodating host that seems to love Austin and wants others to enjoy it as much as possible.  Without question, I would definitely stay here again!"
69352,10127025,2014-02-01,1217905,Christi,"We had a very nice stay at Sovay's Enchanting Zilker Cottage! Very cute, unique place and we LOVED the yard eggs Sovay's Dad, William, brought us! I've already recommended the cottage to another friend. Thanks Sovay and William!!"
69352,10219154,2014-02-07,11102975,Genie,"This was my first experience with airbnb, and it was exactly what I had hoped for. I was visiting Austin under unfortunate circumstances -- my mother is in an assisted living facility and is quite ill -- so I needed a quiet place where I could work in the mornings, with easy access to the facility and within walking distance to restaurants/coffee houses/ food markets. This place was perfect...and SO cute! I promise you that everything you could possibly need is provided -- just bring your clothing and buy your own food. Sovay even provides delicious coffee (half & half and sugar/sweeteners provided too), and her father, William, will give you fresh eggs from the chickens in the back yard. And the bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Someone mentioned in an earlier review that the wifi only worked in the dining room, but I had no problem with connectivity in any of the rooms. 

The neighborhood is one of the best in Austin. It was less than a 10 minute walk to Austin Java and to Thom's Market. I was hoping to take advantage of the proximity to Zilker Park and Barton Springs, but my schedule wouldn't permit it (and the weather was unusually bad). There is some construction going on right up the street towards Lamar, but I couldn't hear it at all with the doors closed.

I'll be visiting Austin frequently in the future, and I can only hope that this lovely cottage is available when I do. Thank you Sovay! "
69352,10326641,2014-02-13,6335217,Charles,"A really great place, perfectly located for being out and about in Austin's great music venues [You can walk the Saxon Pub and drive anywhere else in minutes]. Easy to park. Quiet neighborhood setting.  A real treat to see the chickens outside of the kitchen window in the morning, while enjoying the fresh roast coffee. "
69352,10380816,2014-02-17,2664841,Emily,"Sovay's cottage was lovely! It was the perfect place to stay -- near the park, in a beautiful neighborhood, and a stone's throw away from the many cool parts of Austin. We had a great time. Thanks Sovay!"
69352,10512160,2014-02-23,11030949,Bob,Very cute place.  Nicely arranged.  
69352,11074338,2014-03-19,1289804,Keith,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Zilker for SXSW. Sovay runs a very professional operation.  It is a great cottage with easy access to public transportation, as well as walking distance to some amazing restaurants.   "
69352,11142341,2014-03-22,182861,Karen,Sovay's place is picture perfect.  My sister and I enjoyed walking to the Juice Bar down the street running through Zilker Park and taking in the sights at the Umlauf sculpture garden; the location is ideal!  Sovay was quick to communicate and incredibly informative.  I highly recommend a stay at Sovay's cottage.
69352,11170756,2014-03-24,11243621,Monica,The cottage is in a great location and just as unique as Austin!  We had a lovely stay!
69352,11739057,2014-04-14,11707450,Emily,"I had a great time at the Enchanting Zilker Cottage! Very cozy and clean, and close to lots of fun stuff, plus buses to take you pretty much wherever you want to go. Thank you, Sovay!"
69352,13036202,2014-05-18,12678880,Marcie,"My husband and I stayed here for a few days in May. Overall everything was fine -easy booking, check-in, check-out, and communication with Sovay. However we had really high expectations for both the cottage and the neighborhood and ended up slightly under-enchanted with both.

The location is good - in the heart of Zilker with walking distance to the park, restaurants on Barton Springs and South Lamar, and an easy drive to South Congress or Downtown. One thing that surprised me a bit location-wise is that even though there are things within walking distance, the neighborhood is not all that pedestrian friendly - if you do walk along South Lamar or Barton Springs it's more like walking along a sun-baked freeway as opposed to tree-lined streets with lovely sidewalks. If walk-ability for meals and entertainment is really important to you, you may want to consider other neighborhoods. However, central location, proximity to the park, and nice residential streets are up sides of this locale.

The cottage itself was cute, but it is quite old. On the day we arrived, it had been raining, and there was a very strong musty smell, which did, thankfully, subside as things dried out, but never went away entirely. The kitchen is particularly out-of-date, in the way that never quite seems clean even though it is, just because it's so old. It wasn't a big issue for us since we didn't cook during our short stay, but might be a problem for some. Also, the water tasted pretty bad, even from the filter, so we ended up buying bottled water to drink. The layout is somewhat odd too - very spacious living, dining, and kitchen areas, but tiny bedroom and bathroom. If you are planning to spend a lot of time hanging out at the house and/or entertaining, you might like the layout, but we felt quite cramped in our basic sleeping, bathing, and dressing activities (and we live in NYC, so accustomed to smaller quarters). 

So, overall, not quite what we had in mind. Sovay was a good host and provided lots of useful information. I would consider her other properties for future stays. But depending on what you are looking for in a neighborhood and property, this cottage may not be ideal for you."
69352,13665165,2014-06-02,2454872,Kathleen,"Very comfortable accommodations, plus nice & cool in the warm weather. It was an easy walk to the bus downtown, which is a quick 10-minute ride. Thanks, Sovay!"
69352,13955225,2014-06-09,7551568,Haley,"This was our second time staying in the Zilker cottage, and I can't imagine staying anywhere else for a weekend in Austin! Sovay is an excellent host and the cottage is in walking distance from many of the places we like to visit the most. I'm positive we'll be back soon!"
69352,14187291,2014-06-14,14469536,Bree,Thank you for letting us stay. We enjoyed the cute  cottage that was very central to all the things we wanted to do.  We really enjoyed the front area to sit and relax after a long day. We highly recommend this nice place. 
69352,14516879,2014-06-21,15442624,Bethany,"Sovay was very professional and provided a lot of helpful information about the surrounding area before we arrived. The BBQ food truck she recommends was wonderful! Finding the cottage and ""checking in"" was very easy. The kitchen was well-stocked and ready for anyone who would like to cook. 

Though, overall, we were not very enchanted by the enchanting cottage. The pictures led us to believe there was a lot of natural light but it was actually very dark all throughout the day (this did keep the house cooler!). Also, I guess the vintage decor was not for us as it made things feel dingy. The bedroom especially felt dark and claustrophobic (to be fair, Sovay does include room dimensions in her description). The dining room and the kitchen were our favorite rooms in the house but we just found ourselves not wanting to spend much time at the cottage because of the darkness and awkward layout. 

I could see how many people may find the antique cottage cute but...this place just wasn't for us. I would recommend it for people who like an antique/vintage feel and don't mind a tiny bedroom."
69352,14692808,2014-06-24,15241666,Patrick,"My wife and I went to Austin TX for our anniversary and stayed at this awesome cottage in Zilker.  Everything we wanted to see was easily reached by foot, bike, or bus.  We found ourselves walking most of the time because the weather was mild.  The cottage was very welcoming.  Everything was as described and Sovay was an excellent host.  She helped us find a Catholic Church nearby and she gave us a ton of tips to make the most of our trip.  A+ experience.  "
69352,15050588,2014-07-01,340483,Natalie,"I loved staying at this Zilker Cottage. The house is exactly as explained and is perfectly situated for all activities in Austin. The cottage had a cute rustic french flair to it but felt roomy. I enjoyed siting on the front porch in the mornings with a nice cup of coffee and doing so allowed me to meet a few friendly neighbors walking their dogs. As another guest mentioned, the living room is a little dark, but I didn't feel like this detracted from my stay. I honestly found no need to stay in the living room as their was plenty of space in the dinning room/ kitchen area. I think this listing would be perfect for visiting couples looking for a wkd away."
69352,15164208,2014-07-03,16291043,David,"This cottage is so awesome! Perfect for a quick visit or a long stay on the south side of Austin. Loved the easy access to Barton Springs - rode my bike there to swim and kayak. Very clean, quaint and charming. Fresh egg omelette and a visit with William made the stay even better. Thanks Sovay, for a great stay - I will be staying in your lovely cottage again for my next visit soon! "
69352,15321095,2014-07-07,15282216,Joy,"Such a great little cottage and the location was PERFECT for what I was looking for; close to bike trails, good restaurants nearby, and a cute little wine bar (House Wine) just down the hill. The neighborhood is gorgeous and very quiet with lots of charm. Already dying to go back! "
69352,15499561,2014-07-10,81647,Jennifer,"Had a great time. Cottage was just as described. Parking super handy. Would recommend to anyone. Clean, airy, lovely place! Sovay was very responsive via email, too. "
69352,15963128,2014-07-19,16524315,Kandice,"Amazing. From reservation through our entire stay,  I felt welcome. The cottage is nice and quaint with all the great details.  I would live here if I could!  Really grateful for this experience and being able to experience Austin!!"
69352,16312589,2014-07-25,17640222,Ross,"Nice place, very comfortable and just as advertised.  Host is very responsive.  Great location.    "
69352,16551192,2014-07-29,3473833,Erin,"Great house in a perfect location!  Sovay made everything easy and her Zilker Cottage is cute, spacious and comfortable with all the kitchen appliances and tools you will need. Furniture, linens and pillows were high quality and comfy. We biked around Town Lake, swam in Barton Springs, explored Rainey St and jet skied in Lake Travis during our long weekend stay in Austin.  We will definitely stay here again! "
69352,18121154,2014-08-22,17866274,Julia,My daughter and I very much enjoyed staying in this cozy little cottage! The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We opted not to rent a car since we were within walking distance or a short cab ride to everything we wanted to see! This was our first visit to Austin but hopefully not our last. We would definitely rent from Sovay again!!
69352,18335907,2014-08-25,8595850,Andrew,"Loved this cottage! We plan to stay here for every trip we take to Austin. The space was whimsical and is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. Sovay's dad gave us fresh eggs for breakfast and was super sweet. The restaurant recommendations were amazing (Henri's, Odd Duck, Sway). The cottage was located so close to the park and biking throughout the neighborhood and to Barton Springs made for a very enjoyable long weekend.  "
69352,18658941,2014-08-30,17740826,Maryanne,This cottage is great.  Correspondence with the host was very easy and quick.  Everything was fine.  
69352,19529023,2014-09-14,248564,Astrid,"We had a lovely stay at Sovay's Zilker Cottage. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and the cottage was well located. Sovay was very responsive and friendly in her correspondence. "
69352,19789289,2014-09-18,20190951,Byron,"This was the first time I had used airbnb and I have to say it was a great experience. The place was clean and exactly what I expected from the photos. The location was great, situated right by one of the nicest places I have ever run."
69352,20557437,2014-10-01,2028129,Cyndy,"We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the Zilker Cottage this last week. Just as described, it suited our desire to be ""embedded"" in a neighborhood when we travel. It was well equipped and adorably furnished. On our first visit to Austin, we found the ""in town""access to water recreation, more food opportunities than any where and the energy of a city that embraces the local music scene invigorating and welcoming. We look forward to another visit to Austin and would recommend a stay at the Zilker Cottage to anyone."
69352,20952650,2014-10-08,20280019,Chelsi,"We loved staying here, its so cute and was perfect for my husband and I. It honestly felt like coming home after a long day at ACL. The bed was super comfy. The proximity to Zelker park cant be beat, it was a short walk and close to Barton springs as well. The neighborhood was quiet and I felt safe walking after dark. There were many good breakfast, Lunch and Dinner joints around. All of Sovay's recommendations were great.  If you stay here you will not be disappointed! "
69352,21205886,2014-10-13,5382093,Michelle & Jennifer,"We were in town for the weekend for ACL, and house was just perfect. It was an easy 20 minute walk to Zilker Park, but quiet enough to get some peace while at home. It is in a gorgeous, classically Austin, neighborhood, surrounded by lots of other interesting homes. The house was really cute and comfy, plenty big for the two of us.

The kitchen was well stocked with pantry staples, and also with a pound of coffee and some cream (great since we arrived so late on our first night). "
69352,21465126,2014-10-18,5271282,Beth,"We loved the Zilker Cottage! The neighborhood is awesome, just bursting with character.  The location is awesome - able to walk to several different parks and trails.  There are tons of restaurants within a mile radius.  I would highly recommend staying here."
69352,21803311,2014-10-24,22458189,Meredith,"Perfect . Exactly like the pictures , comfortable , clean , great location . Sovay's dad was so friendly and we loved Ben the out door cat. "
69352,21874180,2014-10-26,20187352,Cindy,"We were welcomed with a clean and inviting home in a great area. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was equipped with everything you could possibly need. We really enjoyed talking with William. He gave us some eggs from the hens on sight which we enjoyed the morning we left. We had a great experience and really enjoyed our stay."
69352,22140069,2014-10-31,690927,Julie,"This Adorable cottage was charming, comfortable and very convenient. It was a great, quiet location and was so nice to come home to after a full day in Austin. Our host, Sovay, was very responsive and gave us tons of very helpful information."
69352,22430056,2014-11-06,21811551,Brian,"Location is premium.  If you want to enjoy the city, and have access to everything, this is where you want to stay.  Very nice, comfortable small home.  Nice kitchen that allows you to eat at home from time to time.  Thank you for making this available to us."
69352,22528414,2014-11-09,488678,Sarah,"Sovay's home was exactly as listed on AirBNB - cute and quaint in a very nice neighborhood.  We were able to walk to all our destinations and the neighborhood is very safe and quiet.  I met William, the caretaker of the property and he was very nice and helpful!  "
69352,22762998,2014-11-14,12272453,Jenna,"I loved staying at Sovay's cottage! The area feels safe and very authentic Austin. Comfortable, cozy and clean. If Sovay will have me, I'll definitely be staying here (website hidden)- love the chickens! "
69352,22981276,2014-11-19,5621384,Jackie,"Excellent host! Sovay really goes the extra mile to let you know about all of the cool things to do in the neighborhood and beyond. The cabin was cute, as described, and everything was clean. There was one very minor maintenance issues (which honestly, was not important at all), but we let Sovay know about it, and she took care of it right away, same day. I was super impressed."
69352,23160359,2014-11-24,22498715,Stephanie,"My boyfriend and I were looking for a weekend away in Austin among the locals. I have been to Austin before, but my boyfriend has not. The cottage is in a great location  near lots of cool shops and really yummy food. Unfortunately we didn't feel it was the most private of places to stay. What we didn't realize when booking the cottage is that it is the front half of a house, and the back that's attached is also rented out. So we could hear other people walking around when we were in the cottage. Savoy was very responsive to our concerns. She also gave good recommendations about where to go in Austin. The cottage is older, and not necessarily the cleanest, but since it's so old I'm not sure how clean it can be. I have allergies especially to dust, and my allergies were acting up when staying in the cottage. There were also lots of scented items in the cottage that affected my allergies. We probably wouldn't stay here again, but we enjoyed our trip to Austin and all the restaurants, shops, and outdoor space nearby."
69352,23260439,2014-11-26,24051614,Matthew,"Great host, great home, great location.  Sovay's packet of Austin suggestions was spot on.  From French-Vietnamese food to beautiful views of Austin filled with Fall leaves.  Thank you for having us and introducing us to Austin!  We will be back!"
69352,23631606,2014-12-07,10785904,Anne,"The cottage was in a perfect location.  Such a charming neighborhood that was super close to everything we wanted to do.  It is walking distance to awesome places like Odd Duck, Alamo Draft House and Uchi.  It was clean and well represented in the photos.  The host left detailed information about the area and about the cottage.  The wifi was really good.    The chickens in the backyard were awesome.  I also met Sovay's father and he was very nice and helpful.  Overall, it was a very nice experience and I would recommend this cottage to friends."
69352,23918981,2014-12-14,1411689,Teddie,"Sovay's Zilker apartment is lovely, pretty comfortable, but quite old! The location is pretty perfect, we spent quite a bit of time both south and north of the river, biking everywhere, and nothing seemed that far away. Even though we never met, Sovay made us feel welcome and her recommendation of Austin Bike Tours & Rentals was one that we took and loved. "
69352,24392384,2014-12-27,4074419,Tamara,"Sovay was a pleasant and accommodating host. She waived her no pet policy over Christmas and let us bring our dog. Then, when she found out we were in town because our daughter was in the hospital she offered to take our dog out on a walk with her dog!
The house was comfortable, cute and very clean. The location can't be beat. 
Thanks Sovay!"
69352,24661878,2015-01-01,14363284,Mary Jo,"Neighborhood was great.  Unfortunately, when we were in Austin the weather was 40 and rainy so we spent more time inside than we would have liked.  There really isn't a room in the Cottage to ""cozy up"", drink tea and watch TV (because it's in the bedroom) or read."
69352,24864994,2015-01-03,234146,Nicole,"I never got a chance to meet Sovay, but her place was as described and she was excellent at communicating with me from the time I booked through check in.  

If you're into old houses, you'll love this one.  The cottage has all of the expected charms of a small old house.  The floors creek, the bedroom and bathroom are small, and the house is quaint.  The house was very clean and the neighborhood quiet.  Sadly, the weather was cold and rainy during our January stay, so I didn't get a chance to experience the benefit of the location, but the Zilker Cottage is close to town and within 10 minutes walk to the park.  

If you want something more modern and sophisticated, and need room to spread out, this may not be the house for you.  The wifi did not work, and the bathroom has no counter space or storage.  There is a full length mirror, but it is not hung so we couldn't really see ourselves when dressing.  I slept in the bed, and my friend on the sofa.   We couldn't find sheets for the sofa, so she used a blanket, which we assumed is not cleaned on the regular (like sheets would be) because it was in a trunk for blankets.  If you're on house lock down like we were because of the weather, you'd probably need to go to the grocery and shop.  There were no snacks or filtered water in the house.  (Normally not a big deal, but as I said, the weather was horrible during our stay.)

Overall, the house is cute, very clean, and in a great location.  It was ready for our arrival.  Check in and out were easy.   And Sovay was very efficient regarding communication and gave lots of recommendations and suggestions in her house manual.   I would stay at the house again if given the opportunity.  "
69352,25175822,2015-01-08,8157811,Erin,"The cottage had everything we were looking for and more.  It's in a great location and was so charming, warm and inviting.  Sovay was  a fantastic host, providing great amenities, and all kinds of Austin recommendations.  The chickens pecking around in the yard and the wall coffee grinder (that actually works!) were the cherries on top.  Thanks for a great trip, Sovay!"
69352,25376601,2015-01-13,9651457,Jessie,"We had a fantastic stay at Sovay's Zilker Cottage. It was like our own little oasis. All the little touches, like the Zilker Cottage shampoo, conditioner, and lotion were really special. We also had an unexpected stay in Austin and Sovay was very helpful in responding right away about letting us stay an additional night from what we had booked. Highly recommend!"
69352,25547105,2015-01-19,747114,Bob,"The cottage is nice, clean and very well located.  5 minutes to Whole Foods, an amazingly beautiful YMCA, the Continental Club on Congress street, amazing chocolate chip cookies at Jo's and 5 minutes to downtown."
69352,25660759,2015-01-22,3237301,Verva,"The Zilker Cottage is totally charming and the perfect location for walking, canoeing, and eating.  Really -- it is location location location.   William (Sovay's dad) greeted us with an offer of eggs from his beautiful chickens.  Fresh, delicious eggs.  A Welcome doesn't get any better than that.  Thank you!! The cottage itself was charming, well kept, and very clean and comfortable.  We especially liked being able to get up to our own fresh coffee and some breakfast before heading out to explore Austin.  We both feel like we've gotten to know Austin better by staying in the Zilker Cottage and walking its neighborhood.
"
69352,25747905,2015-01-25,21557727,Terry,I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the zilkier cottage. Sovay went above and beyond to make us feel right at home! The cottage is in a great location and exactly as advertised. I will definitely be coming back.
69352,25935428,2015-01-30,9167399,John,"The cottage is perfect. It has all the amenities you need, it's well stocked with supplies, and absolutely comfortable. I definitely will be trying to stay here again. The location is also great as well."

69352,26435007,2015-02-12,8522843,Steve,Nice space that is well maintained.  Sovay has added a lot of nice extra touches that make a difference.   The bedroom has a TV with cable which we like.  Would definitely stay here again.
69352,26765598,2015-02-18,10115989,Gurjot,Awesome cottage in an amazing location! We were able to walk to most of the places we wanted to explore. The cottage itself is cute and comfortable. We liked the touch of old-time coffee bean grinder!
69352,27118906,2015-02-25,22794675,Travis-Lee,"Thanks SO much for everything!  The cottage is great, close to downtown and South Congress and was a perfect place for me to shack up and get some work done while not being able to return to Dallas.  ( #snowmageddon)  AND Sovay left me coffee supplies - really great to wake up to!!"
69352,27322405,2015-03-02,3448483,Diana,"The Enchanting Zilker cottage was cozy and sweet, and especially comfy since it was COLD in Austin the weekend we visited. Sovay provided many homey touches to make our stay enjoyable. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the bed was really comfy.  We'd love to come back and enjoy the Enchanting Zilker cottage again, hopefully when Austin is warmer! "
69352,27536629,2015-03-07,26630217,Lori,Everything was so easy about the Enchanting Zilker Cottage. I was happy to have a great space by myself with amenities galore (though I didn't use many-I appreciated them being available)! I was traveling alone and didn't feel afraid for one second and I was surprised at how quiet it was to sleep. I used the bus at first (conveniently down the road) but soon realized that services like Uber and Lyft were much more efficient. 
69352,27803238,2015-03-12,6960109,Jason,Cozy place in an incredible neighborhood. I'd stay here again.
69352,27923682,2015-03-15,150103,David,Wonderful space and location -- would love to stay here again next time in Austin! 
69352,28305072,2015-03-22,26272599,Ann,"Charming cottage in a cool part of town - we checked out many of Sovay's recommendations - Brown's Barbeque, Barlata, Thom's Market (for groceries AND interesting oddities). All good. Good location for SXSW - near most venues but away from the madding crowd. Quiet neighborhood with lots of parking. Don't miss Barton Springs Pool on a sunny day. Really smooth/easy communications with Sovay. "
69352,29040224,2015-04-03,18587305,Michael,Great and cozy cottage. Very close to downtown(about $5 uber ride). Ace was very well stocked with anything we could possibly need and plenty of guidebooks and travel tips provided to really make your trip great.
69352,29501113,2015-04-08,2317907,Emilio,"Sovay's charming little Austin retreat was absolutely wonderful. Well stocked, quaint, in a prime location and cozy, this place was everything we could have wanted! Sovay left detailed instructions, her father was helpful and funny, and our trip was a blast. 

I couldn't recommend this place enough and Sovay was the perfect hostess! Our privacy was respected and our needs tended to. Thanks for everything Sovay!"
69352,30955894,2015-04-29,31492350,Kristen,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay so much and we cannot wait to come back! Sovay was friendly, prompt, polite, helpful & a wonderful host. The neighborhood was easy to navigate and located perfectly amongst numerous restaurants & fun activities that are close enough to walk to. This little cottage really felt like home and we are in love!!!"
69352,31166074,2015-05-03,25747880,Cécile,"Dear Sovay, thank you for having us at your lovely cottage. Your elaborate guide of Austin was great and we recommend the Barlatta tapas place to everyone. As Austin is not a common vacation destination for Dutch people we had no idea what to expect, but as we are both big fans of the TV show Friday Night Lights we just wanted to go to Texas. And we loved it so much that we even bought matching Texas Forever tees. I can't wait to come back and try more of your restaurant and bar recommendations. 5 days was just too short. I was great meeting you. Kind regards, Cecile (and Charlotte) "
69352,31531550,2015-05-06,6808643,Josselyne,"I come to Austin frequently, and at this point, Sovay's unique and welcoming spaces are the ones I first look at.  The cottage is perfect for a single person or a couple who wants a warm, private, comfortable and well-maintained space to be that is also right in the middle of everything a visitor could want in Austin.  I am so appreciative for the opportunity to return to a familiar space each time!  The kitchen in the cottage is fully stocked with pretty much everything you'd need for basic cooking; the bed is comfortable, and I love the sitting room, which provides a great sense of space and a nice place to relax.  The dining room table in the photo is really nice for both meals and also as a work table.  While I missed having Pearl and the other back yard friends poke their heads in to say hi, I would gladly (and will, I'm sure!) stay here again.  "
69352,31656777,2015-05-08,25898907,Eleanor,"Although we have been airbnb hostz, Zilker Cottage waz our first guezt experience. Zensational, zo very charming. A haven in the midzt of oh-so exciting Auztin. Zovay...er, Sovay provided all the info we wanted & more!"
69352,31909696,2015-05-11,5960255,A.J.,"Sovay was an excellent host and the cottage provided a wonderful base for a last-minute long weekend getaway to Austin. Despite arriving around 3am due to a flight delay, our arrival wasn't complicated and we were able to check-in and get to sleep without any trouble. The cottage provided plenty of room for us to relax on a couple of rainy mornings--it was especially nice to have a covered front porch to sit and enjoy the weather. We didn't use the kitchen, but it was well stocked and provided everything you'd need to stay in and prepare a meal. Sovay was also quite thorough in providing information about local attractions, transportation, and the like, and the assortment of local magazines on the coffee table gave us some ideas for local bars and coffee shops to check out. Her father, William, (who lives behind the cottage) greeted us on Saturday morning and provided some information on areas that are typically only explored by locals. With a few days of exploring Austin under my belt, I really can't imagine a better location. Accessing major highways to visit places on the far side of town was quite easy, but we were also a short (and very scenic) walk through the Zilker neighborhood to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and a number of food trucks. We've already discussed another trip back to Austin in the future, and Sovay's cottage will be first on our list of potential accommodations."
69352,32861343,2015-05-22,33459529,Christine,"The cottage was very cozy , comfortable and clean.  Sovay took the time to send us lots of information about the area.  The area was very nice and we felt very safe walking around. Parking in front of the cottage was never a problem.   We had a great dinner at Barlatta which was on Sovay's recommendation list and we also heard great live music at the Saxon Pub (also on the recommendation list)."
69352,33585235,2015-05-30,7286581,Kelly,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Enchanting Zilker Cottage! The cottage was very clean and comfortable. Sovay provided tons of information about Austin restaurants, entertainment, and transportation, which was very helpful! The cottage was located in a great location, very convenient and a nice area! Walking distance to some great restaurants and Zilker Park. Just a short drive to downtown and South Congress. Sovay provided lots of amenities in case we had forgotten something and the kitchen had dishes, appliances, pots and pans, etc. in case we wanted to have a dinner in. The location was very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again!"
69352,33680453,2015-05-31,7286581,Kelly,"My husband and I had a great time at the Zilker Cottage! Sovay was an excellent host! She communicated in a timely manner and provided us lots information about entertainment, restaurants, transportation, and more when we booked! The home was very clean and comfortable in quiet and pretty area! We will definitely stay here again!"
69352,34140881,2015-06-05,24317435,Susan,Great house and neighborhood!  I felt safe and the area is quiet. Very comfy bed linens. A/c worked great. 
69352,34566985,2015-06-09,9074598,Dan,We had a great time at this very centrally location and cute cottage home. Sovay made us feel very much at home list a great list of locations for activities and dining.  Parking was easy. Neighborhood is very safe. We visit Austin on a frequently and look forward to staying in her Enchanting Cottage in the future.
69352,35124544,2015-06-15,23681768,Carly,"I had such a wonderful time staying in Sovay's Enchanting Zilker Cottage - when my travels bring me back to Austin, I know where I'll be staying.

The little cottage matched the description online and yet exceeded my expectations.  Located in what seems to be a safe, friendly and welcoming neighborhood, the cottage is well appointed just off a main street and I had no problem finding it after my flight arrived in the middle of the night.

Sovay had considerately emailed me a LONG list of recommendations and directions for things to do during my short stay and I was greeted by the same type of considerations upon arriving at the cottage.  She had kindly provided local magazines and maps on what to do, where to eat and what to see.  The kitchen was well-stocked (minus food of course) and the coffee maker and grounds were a much-appreciated amenity in the morning.

This rental would be perfect for a traveling single, romantic getaway or low-key weekend with a couple friends.  As a daily runner, the location near Zilker was PERFECT for my needs and whether walking or driving, being located to a main road made many things easy to get to.

I ABSOLUTELY with no reservations, recommend staying at this fantastic location - it is indeed enchanting, charming and convenient and Sovay's hospitality makes you feel like you're staying at a dear friend's.  THANK YOU!"
69352,35682295,2015-06-21,31314526,Shelly,Amazing place!!  Location could not have been better...we had everything we needed within two miles.  Bed was beyond comfy and kitchen fully stocked with a variety of spices and cooking utensils.   My son and I loved our time here!!
69352,36795321,2015-07-01,19071618,Felicia,"Thank you Sovay!! This place was great. The location was perfect, a ten minute drive to Congress St/6th St (we used Uber and it was about seven dollars one way). The place was comfortable, clean, and Sovay left a packet with plenty of tips for our stay in Austin. We very much enjoyed this place, and would absolutely recommend it! "
69352,37332923,2015-07-06,34079863,Annie,"The cottage was charming, quiet and within walking distance from a coffee shop and several restaurants (I had the best sushi at Uchi!)
Instructions for the place were detailed, so there was no reason for me to contact Sovay nor her father while I was there, except to say goodbye and thank you for the lovely stay!"
69352,37753450,2015-07-10,33473112,Erin,"The house was as advertised. It is in a great location to do both outdoor activities and also go downtown. Nothing really wow'd me about this stay. It met our needs. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the description was that the house is connected to another apartment in the back, sharing the bedroom wall, and we could constantly hear the person moving around and smell what they were cooking. (i.e. popcorn, etc.) "
69352,38137561,2015-07-13,34482937,Tisan,"Great cottage, amazing location!  Sovay was very easy to work with.  Definitely recommend this enchanting cottage."
69352,38856043,2015-07-19,30217771,Laura,Great stay. Cozy place. Perfect location. Thanks. 
69352,39313919,2015-07-22,1319633,Erin,"A great stay, wonderful location!  Very clean and cute!  Will def stay again when in Austin!"
69352,39505394,2015-07-24,8334245,Roger,"Location was central and close to all major attractions.  The cottage was a perfect size for two people.  Felt very homey.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
"
69352,40759573,2015-08-02,35921126,Elisabeth,"We had a wonderful time at the Zilker Cottage. Everything was ready and waiting for us as described, and we felt immediately comfortable. The neighborhood is perfect and super cozy. We loved just sitting on the porch in the evening, taking it easy and watching the neighbors walk their dogs. The cottage is the perfect walking distance to amazing restaurants (Vox Table, yum!), a cute coffee shop (Medici) and of course Alamo Drafthouse. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer!"
69352,41409656,2015-08-07,338730,Renée,"Being our first time to Austin, we didn't know where to stay, but glad we picked this cottage because it was centrally located to most everything. The street it is on it right off busy South Lamar, but the neighborhood itself was very quiet, felt safe and had plenty of street parking. The house was very comfortable for two of us and was a nice ""base"" for our week. When I couldn't find any clothing hangers in the closet, I texted Sovay and she immediately had her caretaker come over with a stack of them. I appreciated her quick response. I wold stay here again and would recommend it to other travelers!"
69352,41963108,2015-08-10,35963466,Allison,"We had a great stay at the Enchanting Zilker Cottage!  The home was exactly as advertised and the check-in/out process went smoothly!  Everything was clean and all the necessities we needed or may have forgotten were provided!  It was quiet and charming!  

We pretty much kept to ourselves, but Sovay provided detailed information on activities to do in the area!  We loved kayaking on the river, dipping in Barton Springs, going to House Wine Bar and Shady Grove in the evening for live music.  We also checked out some of the great food trucks right in the Zilker area-- highly recommend swinging by South Austin Social for a breakfast taco from Boca (tacos came with a free beer while we were there!), and the Picnic for lunch! It was a $5-$7 uber ride to get downtown, to south congress, or to rainey street.  

Overall it was the perfect place for us to stay while in Austin and if we are ever back we'll try to get a reservation at the Cottage!  Thanks so much Sovay!
 "
69352,42563428,2015-08-14,16105261,Emmalee,Sovay's cottage is beautiful and in a great location! There are several stellar restaurants within walking distance and is also close to Barton Springs pool. I would higher recommend the cottage for any stay in Austin. :)
69352,43368254,2015-08-19,20954069,Rebecca,My husband and I loved our stay at the Cottage. The location was awesome. Road our mountain bikes over to the greenway and met up with friends one day. One evening walked over to a local bar for a nightcap. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the area. We felt really safe to walk at night. Thanks so much for the water and the coffee you left for us. The cottage was perfect and beautiful. We felt right at home. 
69352,43945164,2015-08-23,27019056,Liz,Our stay at the cottage was great! It's so cute. It was just as expected. Sovay was a great host. Check in and check out were a breeze. We will definitely keep it in mind for future visits to Austin. 
69352,44432563,2015-08-26,14503873,Katie,My boyfriend and I were in Austin for a few days and knew we wanted to be in this great neighborhood for easy access to Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool. The cottage was perfect and totally as advertised. I only had one question when we were there about the coffee maker and Sovay was super helpful and quick to respond to my question. Will definitely look to book again next time we're in Austin! 
69352,44925913,2015-08-30,37677082,Sara,Charming house in the heart of Austin.  Within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a trip back in the near future!
69352,45791758,2015-09-06,37937089,Levi,I felt welcomed and the listing description was quite accurate! I loved the neighborhood and the location in general. It was exactly where I wanted to spend my weekend in Austin.
69352,46443793,2015-09-10,30738258,Laura,What a perfect little spot in the heart of a great walking district.  The little house was perfectly appointed with all I needed to get going in the morning.  I appreciate it.  Dinners were as easy as walking to the corner.  Don't forget to include a visit to the Dougherty Art Center Gallery when you go there.
69352,46732317,2015-09-13,39874383,Julie,Loved our stay. Check in/out was very easy. House was clean and cute.  AWESOME location.  We walked to dinner and brunch and had tons of fun.
69352,47420530,2015-09-18,43822321,Kevin,We had an amazing time and truly I can't thank you enough for opening up your home to us. We had an awesome week experiencing Austin and it was so comforting to come to a legit home at the end of the day. Thank you so much we really appreciated it!
69352,48034500,2015-09-22,43865917,Sean,This place was perfect! The cottage was exactly how it was described. It's close to everything we wanted to do in Austin. Thanks Sovay!
69352,49642485,2015-10-05,42592869,Julie,"Charming house with lots of character, perfect and convenient location for ACL festival, and overall a simply lovely place to stay.  This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was great!"
69352,50042445,2015-10-08,45386948,Steve,"Sovay was super responsive, friendly, and provided clear instructions.  I especially appreciated the suggestions she provided as to what to do in the neighborhood.  In addition, the the Cottage was exactly as advertised—charming, tidy, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities.  Highly recommended!"
69352,50307424,2015-10-11,3168113,Lee,"Zikler Cottage was a great place to stay for ACL, we were in walking distance to the venue and the cottage had everything we needed to be comfortable. The neighborhood has delicious food and coffee near by. Sovay was extremely responsive to any questions or needs. The place was spacious and clean, a great high table for dining and working. I would recommend the place to anyone."
69352,50940650,2015-10-16,22400465,Craig,"I did have an extremely nice stay with one slight exception .When first arriving I was attracted to the nice rocking chair that sits in the dining area , it looked inviting to sit in the chair and when I did it broke on the left side.Didn't see any signage making me aware not to sit in (website hidden) apologies for this mishap. Hope in the future when in Austin looking for a place to stay, this would not be held against me when trying to reserve this charming little spot. "
69352,51143307,2015-10-18,43301726,Mike,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and Sovay set the bar very high. I was in Austin for a mini reunion with some friends from college.
most everyone booked their rooms at hotel, I wanted to avoid the sterile environment of a box room. I'm so glad I found this little cottage, everyone wanted to come over and visit it was a true escape. It was charming and comfortable everything I expected based on my reading of other reviews. Its close to everything and the group decided to make it a central meeting place where we would venture from to the various  Austin hot spots within walking distance.  I look forward to coming back again Thank you so much Sovay ! "
5372834,37424066,2015-07-06,29834617,Janie,"Where to begin? I can’t say enough great things about Christine and our experience staying at the dome. Christine went over and beyond all efforts to assure we enjoyed every minute of our stay. She extended the utmost hospitality and offered an outstanding value for the price. This property was so unique and exceeded any and all expectations in what we were looking for when we booked our trip. The presence alone of the dome and its surroundings are beyond spectacular. Private, quiet and secluded. This place is an absolute tranquil and serene homestay. Talk about PRIVATE… tucked away in the hills of West Lake Hills (still within minutes to everything Austin has to offer) and the views of downtown from the wrap around deck are breathtaking. We had plans to venture off to restaurants and different places in Austin during our stay, but once we settled in and were able to sit and take in the views while listening to our favorite music outside on the surround sound, we quickly knew that we wouldn’t be leaving for much at all. I've been telling so many people about our stay at the dome and I can truly say, you will never see another property quite like this. This place is a true gem and we feel so lucky to have been able to experience it and can’t wait to return.  Thank you, thank you Christine for the most magical and best experience we could have asked for!! "
5372834,39109162,2015-07-20,38382130,Shahrou,I wish I could give this place 10 stars! The host Christine was extremely warm and welcoming and the dome is one of the most unique and beautiful places I have ever stayed. It's the ideal location in my opinion because you get the best of both worlds: peace & privacy while not being too far away from downtown/Barton Springs/other areas worth exploring (only about a 10 minute drive). The decor is wonderfully eclectic and the house feels super spacious and bright. Gorgeous views of downtown Austin and a wraparound deck that will make you never want to leave the house. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in town! 
5372834,41259942,2015-08-05,4823600,Ben,The place is awesome! Great location that cools down at night and perfect for some beers on the patio. The cat is also very friendly. 
5372834,42218785,2015-08-11,4598970,Mia,"Christine was very welcoming and kind. She went above and beyond, leaving us breakfast items and some wine. Her house is beautiful and quiet with an amazing view of Austin. This is a great place to get away without being far from the city. Highly recommend this place! "
5372834,46193889,2015-09-08,41735058,Sherry,"Christine is a very gracious, warm and friendly host. We enjoyed staying in her home and it was as advertised. The views were awesome, quite neighborhood and we enjoyed our visit."
5372834,48819794,2015-09-28,43412679,Robert,"Christine has a beautiful cozy dome home in the WestLake area of Austin.  It's isolated with absolutely beautiful views and totally feels as though you are surrounded by nature.    Christine made a point of personally greeting me, showing me her beautiful home and it's features.   It was very clean, the sheets and towels were fresh and plush.  She has a very nice entertainment system and welcomed me to her stocked refrigerator.. She is such a sweet lady.   Even though it feels remote, it has easy access to key areas of Austin as well.   I plan on returning again soon.  "
5372834,50622261,2015-10-13,311793,Scott,"Peaceful paradise is such an understatement with this beautiful place. Christine made us feel so very welcome as soon as we stepped in the door. The house was so cozy and clean and the views of downtown Austin were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here while seeing some great bands at ACL, we will definitely be back!!"
8273392,49498257,2015-10-04,44021628,Heath,"This was an excellent apartment in a great location for ACL. We were able to walk to Zilker park easily each morning. The apartment was cozy, well-decorated, and inviting. "
4678569,26341942,2015-02-09,11687046,Kartik,Great neighborhood and close to much of the nightlife. Hayder was very welcoming and friendly! Would definitely stay again.
4678569,28132523,2015-03-18,4774939,Kyle,"Hayder was a very nice and friendly host.  The only reason I am docking a star is because he had friends over one night and was fairly loud (although quieted down after being asked). Although he was being thoughtful by asking, he kept asking whether we wanted hookah or drinks, without considering that we might not be big fans of either. 

That being said, he was very very responsive and friendly. I would definitely recommend the stay to anyone."
4678569,28404457,2015-03-23,13350769,Mikka,"Hayder was a friendly host, and he handed over his spacious bedroom while he slept on the couch. The apartment was quite nice and close to lots of food places and businesses, as promised. Conveniently, Hayder also drives for Uber, which was a transportation option when in a rush. He had friends over late a few nights, which could be loud in such a small space, but was generally understanding when I needed to get sleep. "
4678569,29895908,2015-04-13,17877483,Matt,Hayder was a very friendly and accommodating host.  The place was clean and within walking distance to campus.  
4678569,30248536,2015-04-19,23974768,Connor,"I had a great experience with Hayder. He made me feel very welcome. The listing information was accurate, the unit was very clean, and both the neighborhood and location were perfect. I would highly recommend this room to anyone looking to spend some time in West Campus or visit UT for a reasonable price."
4678569,30371765,2015-04-20,31479228,MaryJo,everything was excellent
4678569,35727897,2015-06-21,35073967,Aditya,"My stay at Hayder's place was great. His place was furnished well and it was comfortable. It was easily accessible and well located, and it was walking distance from a number of restaurants, cafe's and other basics. 
Hayder was easy to get along with, and was quick to respond when contacted."
4678569,41392011,2015-08-07,29477298,志刚,"Hayder is very nice and warmly host, and always could appearance intime when  I asked him. Hayder loves his house and keeps the house very clean, convenient, warmthly.
The house located in  the center of the city, very near with UT. Laundry, mart,ATM, 7&11, restaurants and bus-station around the house. It's a great chose when stay in Austin."
4678569,42974195,2015-08-16,16732480,Olivia,Hayder was helpful and welcoming. 
4678569,45008368,2015-08-30,11258694,Ilya,"Aside from some confusion about whether I confirmed a whole apartment booking or just a room, it was a good stay. Had some difficulty in checking in as well and had to wait quite a while when I arrived, but after I got in everything was okay."
4678569,48032625,2015-09-22,34951094,Michael,"I had some unexpected changes in my arrival time. Hayder was very accommodating and made it easy for me to pick up my key.  The room was as advertised, very comfortable and within easy walking distance of UT and its amenities.  Getting up in the morning with Hayder sleeping on the couch could be disconcerting for some, but I would stay there again."
4678569,49382943,2015-10-03,24153915,Danilo,"I had a great time staying at Hayder's place. He is really friendly and welcoming, always available for any need but also just for chitchatting. His place is nice, clean and really close to UT campus and downtown. Very recommended!"
4678569,50519330,2015-10-12,1987861,Drasko,My stay at Hayder's place was a really enjoyable one. The apartment is very clean i.e. spotless and only 5 min from UT campus. He had lots of clean towels. The bed was really big and comfortable. The internet was very fast. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting UT and even greater Austin area. 
4678569,51233114,2015-10-18,46390598,Chenglong (Clement),"Hayder is a nice person. He waited for me though I arrived later at night than expected. This place is within walking distance to campus and quite convenient. The room was exact as described, clean, neat and sweet. Hayder gave me complete privacy and I could freely live as in a hotel. I would definitely choose Hayder's place next time."
4678569,52140614,2015-10-26,32393687,Olesya,"Me and my sister stayed at Hayder place,it was really good place to stay,and Hayder is very friendly and very open person,we really enjoy,room was nice and clean,the location was good,not far from downtown ,we just used the uber every time."
4678569,53149000,2015-11-05,36840504,Issac,"A great place to stay in a nice residential neighbourhood. I was here for the Austin Film Festival and staying with Hayder made the whole Austin experience even more memorable. He was always at hand to answer queries in person or on messages. This must've been my fifth Airbnb accommodation but easily the best.

The room is a decently sized room with a table and chair and enough drawers and closets to make yourself comfortable. "
5651232,28853409,2015-03-30,8139245,Andrew,"Jessie was awesome and very accommodating. Although I was not able to personally meet Jessie, she kept constant communication with me regarding any questions or suggestions to do in the area.

The neighborhood was nice and quiet; away from the hustle and bustle of south congress but was also close enough to take a $10 taxi ride with 5 people to the downtown area. The two bedroom was very nice and homey. We took advantage of the tv and surround sound, Jessie had available in the living room area, she was even kind enough to offer up some on demand movies (we did not take advantage of that added bonus).

I can't thank Jessie enough, this was a great first Airbnb experience. I definitely recommend Jessie's place."
5651232,31397866,2015-05-04,30677883,Tanner,"We had a fantastic time in Austin. Jessie's house is a really great location, close to lots of good eats. The house was really clean and well kept. Even though Jessie wasn't there, she was really great at communicating and helping us from afar. Had a great time and would recommend this place for sure. "
5364081,27697270,2015-03-09,28584323,Ashley,"We arrived at Rob & Rachel's around 2 on a Friday. Rob was GREAT at communicating with me about keys and made sure everything was set to go for our early arrival.  We were pleasantly surprised by the comfort level in their home, and their thoughtful welcome gift and card!  It is a cozy and comfortable place and has great access to the major highways.  Great location for touring Austin and close to a grocery store and several other shopping centers to make your stay what you want.

I would definitely recommend their home to my family and friends!"
5364081,28412497,2015-03-23,20359662,Samar,"While we usually stay downtown when we visit Austin, we needed to make alternate plans for SXSW, so we gave this house a shot. The house itself was excellent. The host (Robert) has plenty of notes for house info when you arrive, and provided some SXSW guides to help us out. There was even a six pack of beer in the fridge when we arrived! Great location if you like to go out (10 minutes from Downtown by car or Uber, easy highway access if you want to go elsewhere). If you don't, there's a Roku connected to the TV so you can catch up on House of Cards. 

I'd definitely recommend Robert's place if you're looking. I may even skip the girl next time and rent from him again!"
5364081,31973651,2015-05-12,31530744,Caroline,"This was our first experience using Airbnb, and let me say it was a great one. The house was perfect for our little family of four and very conveniently located. Rob responded quickly when we had questions and was more than accommodating when we needed something.

I would highly recommend Rob and Rachel's home to friends and family."
5364081,33155926,2015-05-25,32924206,Daniel,The house was just as described.  Robert was very responsive and welcoming.  We felt we made a good choice in selecting this house for our family get together.  Thanks.  We would recommend this service again.
5364081,37406006,2015-07-06,36999291,Jeanett,"Robert was a wonderful host. He was helpful and communicative, he was available for questions throughout our stay and was also quick to respond. He even left a detailed list with wifi/TV/stereo instructions which I thought was perfect. 
The place is exactly as advertised, very clean, cozy and extremely comfortable beds! Location-wise it was great, only 10 minutes away from downtown Austin. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again. "
5364081,46202243,2015-09-08,4887620,George,Great house and location. Very convenient – easy to get to and from. Easy communication with Robert. He and his wife were very welcoming – even left a little welcome surprise. Great airbnb!
5364081,47901248,2015-09-21,20627798,Payton,"To start, Robert answered my request within minutes! We were running short on time and that was greatly appreciated. When we got to the house it looked exactly like the pictures presented it to. A nicy, cozy house that was perfect for what we needed. Everything was clean and readily available for us to use and they made sure we knew they were available if we ever needed anything. Robert and Rachel have a wonderful house and were very welcoming hosts!"
5364081,49857979,2015-10-06,3599677,Zoila,Rob's and Rachel's place was the cutest. I loved it so much that my guest and I did not want to leave. The home is located about 10 mins away from downtown Austin and it's right off the highway. There was a bottle of wine left for us which was wonderful! The queen bed is like a cloud. I don't think I've ever had a better slumber before. I seriously need that bed in my life. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in Austin for another weekend. Thanks guys!
5364081,52252793,2015-10-27,4905206,Jennifer,"Robert was great, highly communicative. Charming house. "
4592547,28905851,2015-03-31,15355241,Elie,"The place is adorably quaint, quiet but fairly central, close to Austin's main offerings. We were 3 people; the couch is certainly comfortable enough to sleep on, the house didn't feel cramped at all and check-in is a breeze."
4592547,38238320,2015-07-13,22305556,Brittany,"Andi and her rental space were amazing! I made an impromptu decision to Air BnB in Austin with a friend and she responded very quickly and was willing to help in anyway. The space is adorable, clean, and quaint. A great experience!"
4592547,39122433,2015-07-20,3729109,Brandon,Great stay at Andi's place. She was very responsive and had several recommendations on places to go in town. Would definitely stay here again.
4592547,40056909,2015-07-27,10873308,Gilbert,"The place is just as advertised. Andi made check in and check out absolutely easy. Andi was easy to communicate with and provided us with several recommendations on hot spots around the area. The space was spacious enough for me and my two friends. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in the Austin area. 
"
4592547,42082321,2015-08-10,33848233,Paula,"Amazing and clean apartment. It is close to everything needed, I never spent more than 15 mins driving to my destinations. The apartment is clean and designed very nicely. Andi stays in constant communication and can recommend a load of places to visit. There is no microwave but a quick heating on the stove and meals were perfect. I would definitely stay here again! "
4592547,47044612,2015-09-15,2961896,Jon,"I loved Andi's style, her place was very cute and close to some great parts of Austin. We would walk around the neighborhood in the mornings and just take in Austin. 

She made check in and out very easy. "
4592547,47968300,2015-09-22,13193505,Carly,"Andi's Bungalow was exactly as pictured. Located very close to the UT campus/stadium and some of the more popular BBQ spots in town. A short drive (or within walking distance if the weather is cool) to Dirty Sixth, Rainey Street, Downtown, and fun East Side bars. It was a little difficult for some of our cab drivers to find the house since the street is not signed very well and the house number is blocked by a large plant. Overall a good alternative to staying in a pricey hotel downtown."
4592547,48767492,2015-09-28,2428246,Robin,The host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5030978,26566050,2015-02-15,27388034,Sarah,"We had a wonderful stay at this adorable South Austin home.  It was the perfect size for our family and would be great for several couples, families, girls weekend, etc.  The host, Henri and his wife, were extremely accommodating and provided amenities above and beyond what was expected - like local beer and bottled waters.  We had fresh eggs from the chickens on the property (our young boys loved getting to collect the eggs themselves). The beds were comfortable and new with modern bedding.  The kitchen had everything one would need (coffee was provided!) and there is a cute dining area.  There is only one bathroom, but it was clean and had a lovely basket of complimentary toiletries.  Towels were soft and fluffy.  The house is conveniently located so that we were able to get to major freeways easily and about 10 minutes from downtown.  It is in a nice, quiet suburban neighborhood, with lots of restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores nearby.  There is parking for several vehicles, free/fast wifi and cable TV.  We would definitely stay again.  Henri, thank you for a wonderful stay in our favorite city! "
5030978,26650401,2015-02-16,27388034,Sarah,This was a second booking for consecutive stays.  We extended our trip to two nights.  Please see my previous review.  It was a wonderful stay and we will be back!
5030978,27280062,2015-03-01,25620208,Farris,"Hi everyone let me tell you about my trip to Austin with air bnb and henri. Henri was awesome! He responded to me very quickly, anytime I emailed. Henri home is beautifully furnished and accommodated me and my guest well. We were welcomed and found things in the home left for our use. Lots of travel size items which worked perfectly. The home was clean cozy I and will be back soon . Hopefully in a few weeks as I want to attend sxsw in Austin as well. I don't have anything bad to say . Period . And I think I jus found my new home away from home ."
5030978,27692424,2015-03-09,28520833,Christine,"Henri's property was our home away form home! We were able to enjoy a proper family experience in this home. All the amenities we needed were available. The internet was strong, the entertainment options perfect.  Plenty of space, clean, well thought out. The beds were comfortable and the water hot! Can't wait to come back! 
"
5030978,27862712,2015-03-13,1254770,Sunshine,"Henri is such a nice and thoughtful host.  The house was much more than I could have ever expected. The chickens were awesome and made for a nice conversation piece with my friends and family.  Fresh eggs were a nice touch, as well. The house is conveniently located right next to a donut shop, taco truck, convenient store and many local restaurants.  I've always loved this area of Austin and would absolutely choose to stay here again.  "
5030978,28083989,2015-03-17,12305661,Bridget,"We stayed at Herni's home for SXSW Interactive and it was perfect. The location was not a bad commute for our daily commute to the convention center. The area is full of great restaurants and any store you may need to aid in your stay. Henri provided us with everything we could think of. The house was very clean when we arrived and we loved all of the art on the walls. It was a home away from home, exactly what we needed during such a busy trip. "
5030978,28258394,2015-03-21,26856620,Stephanie,"Henri and Julia were amazing hosts! From the beginning they were so helpful and warm. Henri answered any questions I had and responded immediately. The house was clean, well kept, comfortable, and stocked. The house art was also amazing. I loved everything about the house, our stay, and our hosts. This is the place to stay in Austin! "
5030978,28344474,2015-03-22,22719516,James,Henri is an excellent host! He gave us a warm welcome and answered all of our questions. The house is in excellent condition and Henri keeps it very clean! You won't be disappointed if you decide to stay here!
5030978,28587151,2015-03-26,29712883,Corey,"Henri made things extremely easy and convenient for us! I had 6 people come and rent from him and it was an amazing experience! Close to town, great directions and very helpful. Would recommend to any and would stay here again!"
5030978,29236850,2015-04-05,14720732,Sarah,"I stayed in Henri’s Austin property for a few days with my family (including 2 children). The home is located in a quiet neighborhood in Southwest Austin close to plenty of shops and restaurants (and only a short drive to downtown Austin). 

Henri’s house was stocked with lots of amenities such as kitchenware, a washer and dryer, an iron, and fast wifi. There were 3 bedrooms with really comfortable IKEA beds and stylish bedding. We slept quite well in this home!

My children loved being able to see the chickens in the backyard and gather their eggs. This was a highlight for us!

We would gladly stay here again next time we need a place to stay in Austin. Highly recommended if you want space, privacy, and the comforts of home during your Austin visit!"
5030978,30231460,2015-04-19,30184953,Austin,Perfect home and location. Lovely decoration and a genuine homey feeling.

5030978,30698470,2015-04-26,5993484,Rimma,"This location was a few extra minutes out of the city center, but perfect for where we needed to be (an event off of 360 and bee caves road). The house amenities were basic but solid: the place was very clean, the nieborhood was quiet and seemed very safe, and reservations and check in we're efficient and worry free. Henri was very responsive and communicated well!"
5030978,31213576,2015-05-03,30704159,Brendan,"The house was in an absolutely perfect location for our nature/city vacation! Henri was a great host, and made sure everything was exactly as we needed it for our stay. The house is wonderfully quaint, beautifully decorated, and easy to find, not to mention the friendly chickens! If I do decide to return to Texas, I will assuredly stay here!"
5030978,31677457,2015-05-08,2244295,Gary & Mary Jo,"We enjoyed staying at Henri's home in SW Austin. The home was very clean and comfortable with three bedrooms. It was also very convenient to locations in South Austin, as well as our relatives. Henri had all of the necessities we needed. We also enjoyed eggs from his chicken coop. Our 4 year-old grandson stayed with us overnight. He enjoyed watching the chickens in the backyard. "
5030978,31824975,2015-05-10,31436101,Rachael,We loved staying here. The place was super clean and safe. We really enjoyed our time as it was restful. Henri's art work is great. We also loved the chickens in the back. Thanks Henri!
5030978,32846036,2015-05-22,32766023,Danielle,"What a delightful place on the planet! Our host thought of everything! The chef in our bunch was delighted to find a kitchen stocked with all the necessary cooking supplies that even included a grater and storage containers.  The house was clean, the beds comfortable, the Internet spot on, and the décor refreshing and fun.  It was better than a home away from home.  Our host was also extraordinarily responsive through emails to any questions we had, both before we arrived and throughout our time in the house. And yet he made sure to keep a professional distance by never disturbing us or encroaching on our time. This was our first time using Airbnb, and our host Henri made it a fabulous experience.  We will definitely be back! "
5030978,33006140,2015-05-24,32296213,Tracy,"The house was clean and well appointed.
Bathroom had plently of fresh towels and kitchen had everything you'd need; pots, pans, dishes, glasses, even a wine opener.
The neighborhood was quite and 3-4 minute drive to major expressway.
"
5030978,33624912,2015-05-30,34029706,Monika,"We had a great time in Austin, due in large part to the excellent accommodations that we had while there.  The house is located in an area that is convenient to shopping and has easy access to Austin's highway system.  The house was very well-equipped and we had no trouble settling right in.  
And, of course, the chickens were a wonderfully entertaining bonus!"
5030978,34632581,2015-06-10,24334578,Kaleena,"Henri's house was perfect for my family ! We had 4 adults and 2 kids. It was very nice to meet him and he was so kind to my kids and showed us all of the wonderful things his yard offered. The kids loved the chickens!The location was great, just a 20 or so minute drive to the city and we could walk to many other places from the house. Not too close to the city to have all the noise or traffic either. There was even a couple shopping plazas in either direction from the house. Shipley's was right across the street and a great suggestion! I'm now a fan of the Big Earl breakfast sandwich. Haha. It was easy to settle in for the week and was like home away from home. Thanks again for a great place ! It would be my first choice if we come back "
5030978,35049224,2015-06-14,35510508,Monica,"Everything about our stay in Henri's ""home away home"" was perfect!  From his beautiful artwork brightening up the walls throughout the house, to the fresh eggs & organic coffee that awaited us for breakfast, Henri thought of everything & more!  The house was extremely clean, well stocked with everything we needed, & very comfortable for all six of us.  Communication was great!  Henri was extremely quick to respond to every one of my questions!  I look forward to coming back the next time we're in Austin!  The chickens were an added treat!"
5030978,35883220,2015-06-22,13505107,Erin,"This was the most perfect location for us. We were in town visiting family...with a little bit of sight seeing!!  Henri was so attentive through the entire process; from replying immediately to my request, to taking the lead on every other item...we wanted for nothing. 

Henri's house was a very nice 3 bedroom 1 bath. We invited our daughter and her husband and two kids and we all had plenty of space!!! The boys loved the chickens in the back yard.  Thanks so much Henri!!!"
5030978,37086751,2015-07-04,3610069,Leslie,"This was a great fit for our family, parents with two very sweet teenagers :) they really are! and really good wifi! I love that even though we were only staying a couple of nights, Henri provided laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, and even various bathroom soaps and shampoos. Really helpful! And my husband and son really enjoyed checking the chicken coop and cooking some fresh eggs. It was quiet and the beds were comfy, too."
5030978,38051818,2015-07-12,37257919,Pamela,"This was ours first experience using airbnb and it was a fantastic one.  Every thing that was stated on the page was accurate. Henri was always available when needed him, and he answered every questions we needed. The house was nice and clean. we couldn't ask for better. Definitely will requested his house if back in that area. The area was quiet, clean and those we met very friendly. Access to the highway was within minutes. "
5030978,38920136,2015-07-19,35622378,Neha,"I would give the place a hands down 5 stars! The house was well kept, very clean and welcoming! This house made our experience so much more enjoyable and it is very close to the city so the location was absolutely amazing as well!"

5030978,40825207,2015-08-02,12002079,Abigail,"Henri was a great host. His home is clean and tidy and a great space to get away to. Great host, great house, and great location No problems at all and right across the street from a super cute taco truck! A true Austin experience! "
5030978,41391361,2015-08-07,36959827,Garine,"This house was perfect for our family to use.  It is away from the ""action"" of Austin in a quiet area, but close enough to get anywhere by car easily - downtown, South Austin, Lake Travis. Henri keeps a cute and well-maintained house with great artwork on the walls.  The simple kitchen is clean and in working order. The beds are comfy. Added plus was taco/BBQ trucks within walking distance as well as a Shipley's donuts right across the street! 

It was a little stuffy inside when we first arrived in the house, though.  Probably because the heat outside kept the windows closed when people were not in residence. "
5030978,42940483,2015-08-16,13194425,Georgia,"We (myself, husband and 2 children - 7 and 9) really enjoyed our stay. The space was wonderful and the chickens in the back were a big hit!
The art was a fun touch and the house was comfortable and welcoming.
Thank for helping make our first stay in Austin so great!"
5030978,44030900,2015-08-23,15997457,Jayme,"We loved our stay at Henri's home. It was very close to anything we needed. It was also tidy, cool and we felt quite safe in the neighborhood – so much so we walked to the corner store pretty late in the evening and it was fine. Thanks so much Henri for having us stay. Will definitely be reaching out if we're in the area again.

"
5030978,44972166,2015-08-30,40127466,Angie,"I can not explain how perfect our experience at Henri's was. Everything  we needed was there, clean in every aspect and location could not have been better. 95% of the art hanging on walls, Henri did himself. I am going back to purchase one from him. The chickens acted more like cats, sleeping on warm bricks. I would not have known they were there had I not been told. Best behaved chickens that I have every encountered. I highly recommend this house and am booking my next stay this month. "
5030978,45846069,2015-09-06,41867656,Jennifer,Henri was a great host and very speedy with his replies. The house was just as described and very well kept! I would definitely recommend this house and henri to everyone. It is in a very nice neighborhood and our plan was to stay somewhere between the Comal and DT. The uber from the house to DT is around $30 for an XL. (just a little info for y'all) Which is really great! Thank you for everything Henri!
5030978,47153437,2015-09-16,19656411,Casey,"This is a great house, just as described. It is all of artistic, comfortable, and useable, no doubt a reflection of Henri's many careers. We never actually met Henri in person, there was never a need, but he was welcoming and responsive none-the-less. The chickens were a bit aloof, but they warmed up if you can speak chicken.
The location was perfect for us. Easy to get to anywhere in South Austin, and not far from downtown or the airport. Plus many shops in quick walking distance. We would definitely like to stay again."
5030978,47401244,2015-09-18,41621973,Amber,"The house was perfectly clean and had a lot of wonderful artwork on the walls. All of the beds were very comfortable and it was wonderful for each of us girls to have our own room. There were plenty of fresh, clean towels and clean, cute comforters on the beds. It was a great location, easy to get around Austin from there and Kerbey Lane Cafe was just around the corner! Would definitely stay here again!"
5030978,47776348,2015-09-21,18811184,Victoria,Had a marvelous stay at Henri's South Austin rental. Everything I needed was available and as soon as I walked in I could tell that the place was freshly vacuumed and cleaned. Henri was also very prompt with responding to my questions and keeping me informed throughout my stay.

Henri is on top of it with very fast responses to any questions that I had.  Thank you again Henri!"
5030978,50363764,2015-10-11,45081714,Ruben,This home was perfect for me and my friends. Perfect location and nice and quiet neighborhood! I will definitely try to snag this place again when I come back to austin!
939240,3774242,2013-03-13,5080347,Sarah,"Michael was an excellent host! The house was clean and tidy, and fresh towels, linens and pillows were provided. He even went out of his way to provide bottled water and toiletries. We definitely recommend Michael as a host, and the house is really awesome too! "
939240,21292260,2014-10-14,19659199,Angela,"We put the request in to Michael to stay at his cottage about a month in advance; he accepted immediately, and everything went as planned! He was so easy to communicate with the entire time, also very flexible & accommodating! The cottage itself is nestled in the back of a property, and felt like our own private, little piece of land while we were there. It has beautiful upgrades, from the sleek wooden walls and ceiling to the tiled shower, and even those nifty slow-closing drawers & cabinets! Nice combination of modern & cozy! Also, fast wi-fi included. :) 5 stars!"
939240,22003385,2014-10-27,22854725,Zach,"My girlfriend and I stumbled across this listing two days before we were due to leave on vacation (other plans fell through). Michael responded to our request within minutes and was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. Although we did not get to meet him in person, his cottage was beautiful, fantastic, and perfect! For its size, it has all the amenities you could possibly need. Austin is always a blast but his place definitely made this visit more special. I agree, keep Austin weird! We can't wait to visit again."
939240,22331269,2014-11-03,22821854,Mike,"Great place! Had a stove, fridge with a freezer, and a porch with rocking chairs. Stocked with fresh towels, sheets, and soap. The studio is set up with a guitar, speakers and TV with Chromecast. We plan on staying here again. "
939240,22621907,2014-11-10,22386289,Sam,"Michael's studio was a really nice place and we had a great time staying there. It was very clean with everything you would need in the kitchen to cook and prepare meals.

The location is also very good - 10 minute walk to 3/4 bars and restaurants, 10 minute drive to 6th and Rainey streets and also there is a bus stop across the road that is only 20 minutes into downtown if you don't want to drive.

Thanks very much Michael! "
939240,28077226,2015-03-17,23164464,Kevin,Such a great stay. Our hosts were extremely kind and helpful. Highly recommend. 
939240,28164655,2015-03-19,26626855,Amy,Superb little place to stay. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We met Michael and he was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. He kept in close contact with us on the day of our arrival and kept in touch with us during our time in the city with local recommendations.  He left us some eggs and coffe and milk - a lovely touch - and he made us feel very at home. It's only 20 minutes on the bus to downtown - and there's plenty of on steeet parking if you hire your own car as we did. A quiet pretty neighbourhood with friendly neighbours. All in all a great place to stay in Austin. Our first Air BnB experience and we'll be using it again! 
939240,28913406,2015-03-31,4731828,Kyle,"Allstar host! Extremely friendly, accommodating and informative. Michael's place is more charming in person. Michael even gave me access to the simple things in the fridge, like eggs, water, yogurt, condiments etc. The kitchen has everything you need, the studio is clean and comfortable. It really feels like your own. Thank you Michael!"
939240,30409290,2015-04-21,28071806,Parisa,"What an amazing host !!! We are so thankful we got to experience Austin in such a cute cottage :) Michael was
The best host! Let us check in early and left us goodies in the fridge. His neighbors even lent us an umbrella
- wow talk about nice people ' we will
Definitely be back again ! Thanks Michael "
939240,30807757,2015-04-27,27545969,Stephanie,"We had a great stay and an overall great experience. Our flights into town had multiple delays, and Michael graciously communicated with us through our many updates. The cottage was perfect for us - quaint, clean, well equipped and comfortable. He even included some treats in the fridge. :)  We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Austin. Thanks Michael!"
939240,31451942,2015-05-05,30214875,Patricia,"The cottage was exactly as advertised and very comfortable. A very cool, modern space and nicely decorated. My boyfriend and I spent three nights here as a getaway from Dallas and it was a perfect location. Great central location! Really close to 290 and 35 and it felt like we were just 10-15 minutes away from everything we wanted to do. The cottage was clean, cozy and contained all the amenities (towels, shampoo, etc) and kitchen supplies we needed for the weekend. Michael left us eggs, coffee, yogurt, and milk which was a very lovely touch.  

The cottage is located in the backyard but still feels pretty private. Lots of greenery surrounding it and birds everywhere. We sat on the patio in the rocking chairs a few mornings and it was really relaxing. I would definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin. 

Tip - next time I would have discovered Epoch coffee and Blue Velvet records sooner! It is on North Loop 3 mins away :)"
939240,32649952,2015-05-19,8156556,Jay,"Michael welcomed us to the cottage and offered us very good advice on our house-hunting weekend in Austin. The cottage is supremely comfortable for two, and is nicely outfitted with everything you need. Super cozy with plenty of room. Private space. Quiet neighborhood. And super close to anything in Austin you want to do. Will gladly stay again if he'll have us."
939240,33376487,2015-05-27,743899,Scoti Ann,"Great place and it was just like the pictures! Michael was a great host. We had some severe thunderstorms during our visit and, as a result, there was a power outage in the area. Michael was very helpful during the outage as well as throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone looking for a cozy, yet modern, experience in Austin. I would definitely stay there again."
939240,36031643,2015-06-24,8468983,James,"Lovely room, clean, had everything going we needed, would definitely stay here again!"
939240,37404821,2015-07-06,12879745,Andrew,"Our trip to Austin was perfect! We thoroughly enjoyed Micheal's tiny home and his hospitality. Great, clean space for two with full kitchen accommodations. The place provided options for privacy but we also enjoyed social time with host and friends over libations! Thank you for a good time. Would absolutely stay again any time. "
939240,40049368,2015-07-27,35773082,Rory,"The place was exactly as described, clean, modern, and well provisioned.  Michael did a great job to accommodate us and make sure we had everything we needed, including an extra air mattress for our third guest.  The setting is great, quant neighborhood.  We came and went as we pleased, no privacy issues whatsoever.  Rockers on the porch were nice place to hang out in the mornings, and I'm pretty sure we saw wild parakeets in the pear tree off the front porch!  Would recommend and visit again."
939240,47206077,2015-09-16,362195,Tom,"The studio was modern, comfortable and clean, with all the amenities including breakfast!  Comfortable bed, strong A/C and wireless too.  Michael had great communication and was out in the front yard when we arrived at the studio. He even left umbrellas on the porch so that we could get back to our car in the rain.  The studio is in the backyard of his house so he was always close by, but the studio always felt private.  

The location in North Loop is great walkable to good coffee (Epoch Coffee), restaurants, bars, and vintage shops....and just a short ride to everywhere else. Would definitely stay here again on another trip to Austin.  Michael even offered to mail an item that we left behind back to us!  A+ host.  Thanks again!  "
939240,47864766,2015-09-21,40870926,Jessica,We had a great time!!! We enjoyed the studio. It was perfect for two people. Clean and well stocked! Michael was a very helpful and accommodating host. Would definitely recommend to others!!!
939240,48439052,2015-09-26,29639428,Emily,"This little backyard cottage is adorable! My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 days, and it was so great having this little home base. Michael was super nice and worked with our schedule, the shower (and shampoo!) was great, and the place had everything we needed. Thanks, Michael!"

939240,50628392,2015-10-13,899093,Sharone,"Great spot. Has everything you need. Michael left us organic eggs, coffee, and milk in the fridge. Great natural hair products and soaps as well. Only a $10 uber to downtown. Would def stay there again 
Thanks "

939240,52210492,2015-10-27,8036928,Lori,Michael's Kangaroom was perfect for our stay in Austin during the Formula One races.    I now want a Kangaroom in my backyard for guests!  
932185,3835333,2013-03-19,91,Tammie,"Katherine was a GREAT hostess.  She is very knowledgeable about the area and was thoughtful in contacting us throughout our stay with possible issues with taxis, airports, etc. (we were visiting for SXSW).  The rooms were very clean (we were lucky enough to book two) and the entire home is very warm and welcoming.  We would love to come back again next year!"
932185,8077550,2013-10-15,6312905,Emily,"We stayed with Katherine for the second weekend of ACL this year and had a truly awesome experience.  Katherine is gracious, helpful and overall a perfect hostess.  Her home is cozy and welcoming and located perfectly for our first visit to Austin.  I would absolutely recommend a stay in any of the rooms in Katherine's home, and would definitely stay there again in the future!"
932185,8671057,2013-11-11,9619510,Joanna,"Katherine was a wonderful host! She put out fresh toast, organic peanut butter, jams and hot coffee every morning. Her home is walking distance to the Town Lake trails, restaurants on Baron Springs Rd and Auditorium shores. We had a great time getting to know Katherine, her son (who was also very helpful), and their sweet cat and dog =)"
932185,20823110,2014-10-06,19683992,Allison,"Katherine was a great host! She met us promptly when we arrived and told us about such fun places around town.

932185,21277067,2014-10-14,16588022,Andrea,GREAT PLACE FOR ACL!!  Our stay with Katherine could not have been more perfect!  The accommodations were EXACTLY as listed.  Our room was perfect and we had plenty of space.  Katherine was so welcoming to us and even gave us a rain bag full of supplies.  She was so gracious!!  Her sweet animals were very lovable!  Shout out to Eddie on a speedy recovery!  We will be back to visit!!!  Thanks Austin!  We kept it weird for ya!
932185,22650839,2014-11-11,15654163,Andy,"Katherine was a very friendly host. The room and house were just as advertised. There was breakfast each morning, the bed was comfortable, and when she was home she was very open to chat and offer advice on local places to visit or best ways to get around. She was also great about respecting space, so if you'd rather keep to your self that would be no issue here. I recommend this place and would happily stay there again the next time I'm in Austin."
932185,27915902,2015-03-15,24225198,Mick,Great neighbourhood; room exactly as described; we were made very welcome.
932185,28460644,2015-03-24,1684161,Doris,"I stayed at the Comfy Bedroom near the Zilker neighborhood for my first visit to Austin, and my first experience of SxSW; it is an excellent location to the Alamo Lamar South (film venue) and perfect for the free shuttle to and from SxSW venues downtown as well as convenient to public transportation. There are lots of great eateries nearby that are excellent. Katherine was a great host offering tips and insights about Austin. Coffee and light breakfast each morning was fantastic! The comfy room is just as it is pictured. It was a very pleasant stay and a warm welcome for my first time in Austin. I wish I could have stayed longer! "
932185,30826756,2015-04-27,28782846,Kirsten,"Katherine's home was bright and welcoming, a great 15 minute walk from anywhere I wanted to be. I enjoyed my stay in Austin and would fully recommend staying here."

932185,49761353,2015-10-06,997434,Laura,"My boyfriend and I spent a lovely time with Katherine! She is really nice and she made us feel at home. I didn't know what to expect about Kiki and Eddie (the cat and the dog) but you wouldn't even notice that they are around because they are very calm and nice with people. The location is perfect if you want to go to ACL, it's just a ten minutes walk! 2 mins walk for the bus stop and 4 mins to go to Maudie's, a nice place where you can find a really nice breakfast!
A 25 minutes uber ride from the airport to her house.
The place is very clean and in fact you will find that the room is way better than it looks in the pics.
We would definitely stay again! Thank you, Katherine!"
932185,50615345,2015-10-13,16640820,Keni,"Katherine was such a wonderful host! This was my first Airbnb experience and it could not have been smoother. She provided a nice light breakfast in the mornings and made us feel very welcome in her home. The location was also beyond ideal for Austin City Limits, so easy to get everywhere we wanted to be!

Thanks for a great stay, Katherine!"
932185,52161513,2015-10-26,46093048,Jeroen,"Had a good stay with my dad at Katherine's. She adviced us well about the local highlights and we enjoyed her hospitality. The room was nice (not too big, not too small) for our stay, because we were outside most of the time. "
8743900,50412753,2015-10-11,6865225,Kevin,Destyni was a great host.  She answered questions that I had about the area since it's been awhile since I last visited Austin.  Neighbors were very friendly!
8743900,51231175,2015-10-18,14721680,Adrienne,"Destyni was an amazing host. I loved the list of restaurant suggestions, little thoughtful touches like bottles of water and travel size toothpaste, and the welcome note. Her communication was great. I want to go back just to use that amazing TV again--it really was like going to the movies!"
8743900,51986150,2015-10-25,41506967,David,"The location was great, downtown was close as well as the race track. Lots of resturants close by."
1095272,12236642,2014-04-27,11985304,Shannon,"The Barton Hills Duplex Retreat was a great place to stay! Chris was an amazing host! He made sure that every comfort and amenity was available and that everything was convenient. There was a great welcoming package when I arrived after a long drive. The duplex was clean and he even had brand new linens available for use. The location of the duplex was amazing! It was an easy walk to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, the lady bird lake trail, and even downtown. There is a great little market around the corner and many great restaurants within a short walking distance. I was fortunate to be in Austin at the time of South by Southwest, and even more fortunate to be within walking distance of many of the venues as traffic was horrendous. The easy access from the duplex to Mopac, Lamar, and the many highways made the crazy Austin traffic somewhat tolerable. I highly recommend staying at the Barton Hills Duplex Retreat. You won't be sorry!"
1095272,15673868,2014-07-14,9796255,Chandler,Awesome location and great host. Chris is the man!
6586651,49739961,2015-10-05,45483986,Tyler,"I had a lovely stay here with my wife and we felt very welcome from the moment we stepped into the house. We found a welcome note from Bree and she responded quickly to our questions. It was clean and cozy, with good options for transportation. We would stay here again if given the chance. "
6586651,51515656,2015-10-20,25689922,Ryan,"Bree was great! We were able to book her space on extremely short notice and she had it ready for us in a jiffy. The space was perfect, clean and cozy with a great backyard. Would absolutely stay again. "
775192,3753554,2013-03-11,2109552,Alana,"I was truly a pleasure staying with David, Rebecca and their two adorable little dogs. They provided a nice clean room with private bathroom, rides to/from downtown Austin, and airport pickup! Thanks again for the hospitality guys, we had an awesome time!"
775192,3822835,2013-03-18,5204381,Mariam,"For my first experience of Airbnb and the US, I was a little nervous as to how everything would all play out.... but it couldn't have been any better!!! David and his girlfriend Rebecca were absolutely wonderful, so friendly and reliable - I enjoyed staying with them so much!
While I was there in the heat of SXSW, they informed me of things to see, so nicely picked me up and dropped me downtown many times, I was able to taste Rebecca's delicious vegan meals (and almond treat... YUM!) and I always felt safe and comfortable... 
I would recommend their place to anyone - you have your own privacy and both David and Rebecca are so helpful and down-to-earth . I know we'll keep in touch...... thank you so much! 
"
6445962,33050070,2015-05-24,8611643,Pedro,"Best trip to Austin thanks to Teresa and this awesome spot right in the heart of Texas! Teresa thank you for being a very welcoming host from the get-go! You met us at the requested time of check-in and made us feel right at home with your enthusiastic personality and beautiful apartment. Our jaws dropped when we saw the hidden gem you have here.
 
Peeps, I used to live in Austin and then moved away. Bad decision. But if you ever get the opportunity to visit and would like to know what a day in the life of an Austinite is like, I highly recommend this place! Quiet, safe neighborhood within minutes of the Texas State Capital, SOCO, lady bird lake, tasty food trucks, and west or dirty 6th! It felt great to be able to re-enjoy it once again! Thank you Austin and thank you Teresa for making this trip a blast!"
6445962,33340408,2015-05-26,477170,Lorissa,"What a perfect spot to visit Austin TX.  Very walkable area with so many great restaurants nearby.  Galaxy Cafe, Jeffrey's Restaurant, Winflo Osteria, Medici Coffee, Tacos & Tequila, Sweetish Bakery.....  The apartment was extremely clean and way more beautiful than the pictures show.  Teresa was a great host and was more than accommodating.  Will definitely stay here again."
6445962,33730336,2015-05-31,19307339,Scott,"Great Austin condo ! Teresa was on site at check-in to show us the unit. Pointed out some close by restaurants and coffee shop all within walking distance. Really appreciated the personalized airport pick-up and drop-off (small fee) as well as the complimentary wine and champagne.

"
6445962,34808937,2015-06-12,33846638,Marcio,"Teresa was awesome. Easy communication, constantly checking in with me. Nice touch by having coffee (and coffee machine) available and a bottle of champagne in the fridge! The listing was 100% accurate. Nice neighborhood, really quiet and safe area. Short walk to downtown. I would definitely stay there again. Thanks!"
6445962,35039365,2015-06-14,35395374,Nancy,I'm so glad I was able to find this condo to stay at during my one day trip to Austin. Teresa responded quickly to my request and was very flexible with my check-in time. We received a nice welcome from Dustin when we arrived at the condo who also spent time explaining different things about the condo as well as suggestions for food places around the neighborhood. He also took the time to tell us about events that were happening around town and answered questions we had. The condo was in a great location that was central to everything we did. The condo itself was very well decorated and comfortable! We loved that everything we needed was provided as well as all the small touches from the local magazines to the plethora of towels that were left for us. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back!
6445962,35705535,2015-06-21,1999732,Danielle,"Teresa's place was beautifully decorated, the photos do not do it justice. Every corner of the apartment was super cute and it was very clean.  She had set it up with all the luxuries of being at a nice hotel. The place was spacious and very comfortable for our first trip with our newborn. It is in a cute and quiet neighborhood of Austin.  There's a reserved parking space too. Would definitely book it again next time we're in town."
6445962,36487902,2015-06-28,23898594,Kourtney,"The condo was great, Teresa was excellent with communication and quick responses. A great location for a great weekend stay in Austin! "
6445962,37214993,2015-07-05,8693149,Taylor,"What a lovely place to stay in Austin! We had the pleasure to stay at Teresa's for the 4th of July weekend. The hilly neighborhood is both quiet and full of characters. The condo itself is spacious, clean and tastefully designed. We didn't get a chance to meet with Teresa in person but she made our communication and check-in/out a breeze. Overall a very enjoyable stay and I'd highly recommend it. "
6445962,38564679,2015-07-16,14166288,Adam,A great spot in the Clarksville neighborhood. Clean and bright. Very comfortable. Teresa was a great host. I would definitely stay here again. 
6445962,38951393,2015-07-19,390605,Corey,"The condo is as advertised.  It is clean, well furnished, well located, and comfortable.  Teresa was very quick with responses and answered all questions.  Got a ride with her assistant to/from the airport which was very nice and convenient.  I can't say much else other than that I will definitely look here first for our next visit to Austin."
6445962,39710166,2015-07-25,29516117,Shem,Teresa's condo was tastefully appointed and offered many more amenities than would've been provided through a hotel. She even included extras that made the trip all the more enjoyable. Those things in addition the condo's location in Clarksville made for an awesome trip within short distance of some of the best that Austin had to offer. I can't recommend her listing high enough and would book again should the opportunity present itself. 
6445962,39859651,2015-07-26,18367061,Karla,"Teresa made my first Air BnB experience wonderful. Before booking with her, my previous host cancelled my reservations 6 days in advance. While I was frantically searching for a new place, I came across Teresa's listing. Her place was a little over my budget, but I was willing to book it, because her reviews were outstanding and she had an amazing location. I requested other places just in case, but that didn't matter, because she was the first to respond, which made me feel even more welcomed and at ease. Aside from admiring her place, her communication is what attracted me the most. She always made herself available to whatever questions I had and she was very flexible when it came to checking- in and out. Once my friend and I arrived at her condo, we were definitely pleased. We were greeted with a welcome packet that had suggestions of what to do in Austin, a basket filled with complimentary soaps, shampoos, and lotions, a reserved parking spot, a coffee pot that we could brew coffee in the morning, and free wifi. Her pictures on her listing reflected her place very well. Her decor was also very beautiful and it was very clean. I only got to enjoy Austin for less than 24 hours, but if I were to come back, I would definitely book her place again. Thank you so much again Teresa!  "
6445962,40786310,2015-08-02,36873540,Julia,"Everything about our visit to Austin was spectacular. Prior to arriving, Teresa sent us a document full of names of restaurants and places to see. We found ourselves referring back to it time and time again. It was a great resource! 

The apartment was impeccable and so nicely designed it felt as though it was a home away from home. This was our first airbnb experience and thanks to Teresa definitely not our last. She has excellent communication and is there to assist in whatever you need. The apartment is walking distance to some of the best shopping and restaurants in town! 

I loved our visit to Austin and would definitely recommend this apartment to fellow travelers. "
6445962,41703142,2015-08-08,40323383,Lydia,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin. Teresa's apt was conveniently located to restaurants and all points of interest.  

Lovely accommodations, she definitely has a flair for decorating.  It was convenient and comfortable. A nice vacation.  Thanks Teresa!

"
6445962,42949319,2015-08-16,25706408,Amine,Very clean and comfortable apt. Teresa was very helpful and responsive. Wish the apt was closer to 6th street action but 6$ uber ride can get you where you need to go
6445962,43445227,2015-08-19,1622594,Kristina,Teresa was one of the best hosts I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was so accommodating and her response time was instantaneous! Her condo was immaculate and I loved it so much-- I booked an extra night. I wish I could live there it's so beautiful. This airbnb property will definitely be my go-to place to stay. Not only will I know that I'm in very good hands but I'll also have the best stay.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND booking with Teresa at this condo. LOVED IT!!!!! :-)
6445962,44009411,2015-08-23,392357,Noah,Teresa and Dustin were great hosts. They were very thoughtful - had water bottles and toiletries/towels. Their place was in an amazing location and very clean and cute! Best airbnb I've stayed in. 
6445962,44676329,2015-08-28,14166288,Adam,A nice place to stay in ATX. Clean and comfortable. Teresa is a great host.

6445962,45759901,2015-09-05,7477079,Meredith,All the glowing reviews are really accurate.  Teresa was super patient with an issue between my credit card  and Airbnb.  
6445962,46093845,2015-09-07,29740826,Matt,The condo was fantastic. The soft sheets and fluffy towels were nice touches. Everything was perfect. Teresa was quick to reply to any questions and made check-in and check-out the easiest ever. The condo location was also amazing. We rode our bikes to restaurants and bars. We had a great time in Austin. We would definitely stay here again.
6445962,47637930,2015-09-21,33084656,Lora,"This was my first Airbnb experience... Which set the bar really high for my future experiences. Teresa was just an email away at all times even before we even got to Austin. It's too bad our paths didn't cross I would have loved to have met her in person. The condo is beautiful and accommodated the 3 of us ladies very well. However, we didn't spend much time in it because we were there for the Rodan+Fields convention which 10,000 people attended hence our decision to try out Airbnb. The hotels were going fro $400+ per night. But, with this amazing experience we had with Teresa and her beautiful and very homey little condo in what probably seemed like the most beautiful part of the city. I really want to bring my family back to Austin and would love to stay here again. I feel like I could live there. I'm thinking airbnb is the way to go for our future travels. I just hope that our next experience meets this one. It was just PERFECT!!!"
6445962,48124549,2015-09-23,7702624,Lars,I had a really good time in the condo. It was clean and comfortable. The combo is in a very calm and green neighborhood but still not very far from downtown Austin. Teresa was really friendly and helpful and immediately answered my questions. Thanks a lot!
6445962,48320181,2015-09-25,2477190,Daniel,"Teresa's condo is a great gem in Austin! We were only passing through for a night but it had everything we needed. Lots of space, nicely decorated,  washer/dryer if you need it. Teresa was always around if we had any questions. Highly recommend!! "
6445962,48448169,2015-09-26,484119,Emilien,"Teresa's place is a marvel, modern, clean and you feel at home. The accommodation was even better than a hotel in a green, quiet neighborhood of Austin. The perfect place for a weekend in the city."
6445962,49866618,2015-10-06,41420541,Torri,"This place is awesome! It was our first Airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been any better! Teresa has thought of everything even a bottle of wine in the fridge. Would definitely recommend to anyone coming to Austin!"
6445962,50032351,2015-10-08,9796572,Jenny,"Teresa's apartment was wonderful - clean, beautiful, comfortable and very quiet.

Teresa is an amazing host - super quick to respond and even brought over laundry detergent when I realized it had run out! A perfect stay. "

6445962,52106888,2015-10-26,45419800,Tom,Teresa was a really great host and went out of her way to make the stay as comfortable as possible for me. Neighbourhood is nice and it's about a 15 min walk to 6th street. I can really recommend that apartment to anyone. Thank you Teresa!
6445962,52846787,2015-11-02,44447831,Josh,"This was my first experience using AirBnB and it was PHENOMENAL.  Teresa was amazing and her place was perfect.  The pictures do not do it justice!  It was perfect for the three of us, great location and a great set up!  

As I mentioned, this was my first time using AirBnB.  Teresa was great, helping us make sure everything went smoothly.  We were coming in from a few days in Houston and she was very flexible and accommodating with our fluctuating schedule.

The condo is beautiful.  Teresa provided everything we needed.  I thought the past comments about the towels were amusing but it's the truth, they are great.  Teresa ensured us the couch was comfortable for the third member of our group and she wasn't lying!  None of us had ever been to Austin and Teresa even provided some helpful suggestions of things to do and see around town!

Overall it was a great experience!  We spent half our trip plotting ways to try and convince Teresa to just let us move in permanently!  She made everything easy!  

Thank you again Teresa!  We had an amazing time!"
6445962,53160753,2015-11-05,426866,Dawn E.,"Delightful! Teresa was so nice & super helpful with directions and the like. The condo is in a perfect location for anything downtown and nestled in a quite little neighborhood. Factor in the cleanliness of the space, the soft sheets & the fluffy towels & you get the perfect stay. "
6445962,53236849,2015-11-06,43162551,Steve,"Great 1 BR unit. Tastefully designed. It is much nicer than the pics. It is conveniently located in a neighborhood right near downtown. Huge find and value. JW Marriott was 2.5x the price and not as nice. Thanks also for the bottled water!
Double thumbs up "
5290632,26952980,2015-02-22,1839716,Obiajulu,"My stay at Agathe's Private Guest House was excellent. The location was great. It was walking distance to a lot of four star restaurants and food trucks. The guest house itself was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The guest house is about the size of a studio apartment, but I'm 6'4 and didn't feel cramped.
Agathe was nice enough to stock the refrigerator with a few beers, and went above and beyond to make sure my girlfriend and I were comfortable even though she was feeling ill.
She has two little pugs that greeted us every time we came through the yard. They were cute, and would follow us to the guest house and then leave.
Overall it was a good experience, and I would stay again. "
5290632,27375141,2015-03-02,9106076,Abbey,Agathe was out of town during our stay but she made it very easy for us to access the guest house. The location was great for what we needed and the property very secure.

5290632,28170815,2015-03-19,1020909,Chandler,"Agathe was nice. The dogs on the property were so friendly and lovely.  The facility itself was great - clean, comfortable, very private, nicely laid out, great wifi.

My only complaint: It was far from services.   (A half a mile walk to a 7-11 style convenience store.  3/4 of a mile to a coffee shop or place to get breakfast.)  "
5290632,37407526,2015-07-06,13754359,Jared,"Perfect place to stay for 2. Everything you need, near downtown. Host was available for anything we needed while also giving us our privacy. Highly recommend to anyone looking to vacation in Austin. "
5290632,40868787,2015-08-02,19240080,Christopher,"Great place! Clean, tidy, 2 friendly pugs, and close to some cool places on the East side. Agathe got me in last minute, was very friendly and accommodating. There were even a few beers in the fridge. Would stay again for sure."
5290632,41287852,2015-08-05,40141533,Victoria,This was my first experience with airbnb. My friend and I have been backpacking around America mostly staying in hostels so this was a nice change. Agathe was very flexible. The location and price were great. It was clean and great space. Agathe gave us some great tips on places to go and it was a safe and secure neighbourhood. Her two little puggs are adorable and friendly as well. Agathe was really accommodating. Really central and a cheap uber to 6th street. She gave us privacy but made us aware she was available if we needed anything. Would stay again if we came back to Austin!
5290632,41862377,2015-08-09,3613019,Alexandre,"We had a great stay at the Guest House! The house looks very similar to the the pictures and is well located (close to bars, restaurants and supermarkets). Allegra has been very nice with us and gave us good places to go to. Thank you!"

5290632,43806929,2015-08-22,20813547,Joe,"Agathe was a brilliant host with great communication skills. The house was very clean and homely which made us feel welcome. Agathe was very friendly and even recommended we visit Barton springs pool, which we went to on our second day and would highly recommend. Her place is around a mile from downtown and although we didn't have a car we found it very easy to see everything we wanted to see using Uber which was very cheap and fast! We loved the dogs who were also very friendly and cute! Overall, we'd highly recommend you stay at Agathe's place, we had such a lovely time and made great memories here, I have no doubt we'll stay again in the future. "

Just a mile walk from downtown area with great food trucks and bars. Everything we were looking for. It felt very homey and safe while also being in a great location. Being able to leave my car locked safely behind a fenced in parking area was also a big plus! Allegra was very friendly and responsive. Thank you!"

Though the place is a ways off of 6th street, its near some classic bars (divey, but also popular)."

8596660,52142775,2015-10-26,23050919,Matt,"This is a great apartment in a good quiet area. We came to Austin for the USGP F1 race and this was the perfect location for all the weekends activities. The apartment is nicely decorated and felt very comfortable.  Plenty of space to work, relax, sleep or eat. Our host Stacy Rae was easy to work with getting our arrival and departure coordinated. She made us feel very welcome and was very helpful with ideas on places to visit. She was great."

4202378,23328242,2014-11-29,631374,Jen,"I booked this unit for my mom to stay in and this is what she said:
I loved this unit. It is located in an eclectic, fun, beautiful neighborhood in Austin. I stayed here because it is in walking distance to my daughter's apartment. I could also walk to restaurants, Tiny Pies, coffee shops and more. The neighborhood is gorgeous for taking a walk. The unit itself is perfect for one or two people. It is clean, bright and oh so comfortable!!! There is everything you need right at your fingertips; two burners, a fridge, kitchen sink and dishes, pots and pans and utensils. There is a tea/coffee maker and supplies to make both. The owner baked delicious gingersnaps that were on the counter waiting for me when I arrived. There were snacks and drinks as well. The decor is so bright and cheerful that it just made me smile. My other daughter joined me and there was plenty of room for both of us! Soft, thick towels and linens were the icing on the cake! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

2351962,12781842,2014-05-11,13359597,Barbara,"My husband and I stayed at the Rufus Bungalow for five days in early May.  The owner was prompt with all correspondence.  We had excellent pre-stay directions.  Upon arrival we found the Bungalow in the midst of this cozy, tree-lined, quiet neighborhood.  Such a cute, delightful, well remodeled little home!  Everything was immaculate and in order!  The front door combination lock and garage door opener are simple and convenient; we could even park inside.
For sleeping: the queen beds were excellent - high quality, comfortable mattresses and linens!  Lovely, large dresser, good closet space with a set of white hangers. The polished, spotless, brightly-lit bathroom has a great shower, good toiletries, and lots of luxurious towels!  The updated kitchen's cabinetry, fridge, sinks, etc made food prep fun!  It was well stocked with coffee maker, cream, sugar, various condiments which we cooked with, tools, large set of pretty dishes, and enough pans!
Convenient little office with computer and wifi.  Large TV.  Washer and dryer - with 
soap, etc.  Back yard barbecue and seating!  Everything is there for a comfortable stay, long or short! 
We found one outstanding ramen restaurant about 5 minutes away on Lamar, and discovered other eateries and shopping pretty close by.  Freeway access is close and simple to get to.  We plan to return, as we have family in the area, and staying in this little haven meant we could go back and forth and even entertain there ourselves!  
The owners have covered all the details!  They were cordial and helpful with our inquiries!  The home stay exceeded our expectations!  Definitely five stars!!!  "

The home was very clean, cozy, and had many conveniences - a FULLY stocked kitchen down to the wire whisk, cork screw, hot plates, and tea and wine cups. Extra blankets and towels were helpful.

Our family of five fit perfectly into the space and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. From the coffee machine (so, so welcome) to the picnic accessories that came in handy our first day in Austin, Mark's thoughtful additions to the house made it feel as though we were at home. Extra toiletries, a top notch washer and dryer, and most of all the best frying pan of our entire US odyssey helped make this a top notch stay. Close to public transport that was easy to negotiate and with great in-house recommendations for places to go, you won't regret staying here. "

We would stay here again.

224979,742466,2011-11-24,245639,Ken,Joe and his right hand woman Juanita were absolutely amazing! I was pleasantly surprised from the minute I arrived to the day of my departure.  All three of the cottages are beautifully decorated and completely functional.  They have truly mastered the art of service/experience design……they completely ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience from the beginning to the end.  The location is second to none in the heart of the famous Austin SOCO district. It goes without saying that I highly recommend!! 
224979,744942,2011-11-26,425426,Tom,"From the moment we opened to door everything was wonderful. It is as nice as any 4 star hotel with all the amenities you could need.  We had a great time and look forward to returning.
"
224979,769068,2011-12-06,245639,Ken,"Excellent cottage, in the center of everything, immaculate, well maintained and stocked.  Joe is a gracious and helpful host, who made checking in and out a breeze. This location gave me the best of both worlds, a feeling of living in a hotel but with all the warmth of staying with a friend.  I could not have been more pleased with the accommodations or the host. Highly recommended!   "
224979,850767,2012-01-08,1309072,Dan,"The property was perfect - private, clean, and well furnished. Joe provided clear and easy guidelines for the stay. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "
224979,870720,2012-01-18,1566766,Susan,"We stayed at the cottage for two nights and it was perfect for our brief stay in Austin!  Great, convenient location and close enough to So-Co, but far enough away to enjoy some quiet time!  We are tired of regular hotel rooms these days, so it was great to have a full kitchen and some room to move around.  The cottage was very clean and comfortable and we would definitely consider staying there again!"
224979,930330,2012-02-19,1542024,Dennis,"This is the first time we use the Airbnb service. It pleases us to say, that it is to amazing host, like Joe, that this community owes its success. It was because of the incredibly efficient help and quick response provided by Joe, that this was such a great experience. The property was very easy to find, thanks to Joe’s information packet. The cottage was magnificent; everything was exactly as described. When we arrived we felt so at home. Joe and Juanita had left us a card welcoming us. We also found a bottle of wine and a map. The place was great; it had everything we needed starting from the kitchen all the way through the bathroom. It was our home away from home. It was very clean and neat, and well organized something very important to us. We loved everything about it, the coziness, the warmth and especially the privacy. The host was extremely thoughtful and the housekeeper extremely sweet. Even the neighbor and their dog welcomed us. We were able to meet other guest staying with Joe while we were there, and they also had very nice things to say about him and where they were staying. The location was perfect; it was exactly what we were looking for. The stores were at a nice walking distance, if like me, you wanted to see everything. People were very respectful and talkative. Thank you Joe for making our first experience with Airbnb and our first visit to Texas a memorable one. We recommend The Millers to anyone who is looking for the best. We will definitely stay with them again on our next visit.
Thank you,
Dennis and Jocelyn

224979,940665,2012-02-22,1475325,Gary,Our stay at the SoCo Cottage was an enjoyable experience.  We received our information packet from Joe in a timely manner.  The check in and check out process was very easy.  Cottage was in a very quiet area and nicely furnished.  It had everything that we needed.  We enjoyed our stay in Austin.  Fran and Gary from Iowa
224979,968227,2012-03-04,1599890,Andrew,"Had a wonderful stay at the cottage from Feb. 28 to March 2.  The cottage is clean, comfortable and quiet.  It is about a 25 minute walk to the heart of the SOCO district.  The neighborhood is residential and quiet yet there are restaurants, coffee shops and a cool bar a short distance away.  We were in town to visit our son and had a car.   We found this location convenient and the cottage a great value.  Will stay there again.  Joe is a very considerate and responsive host and the housekeeper couldn't have been more helpful.

224979,1011981,2012-03-18,1466300,Shefali,"While I couldn't bring my startup to attend SXSW in the end, Joe was a wonderful host! He always got back to me when I had questions, and was very kind throughout the process. I would feel comfortable staying anywhere he is hosting.
Thanks Joe, and all the best to you!"
224979,1031245,2012-03-22,461233,Jenny,"We had a lovely time in the cottage and in Austin. Joe was a great host, both in advance and during our stay. The cottage was just what we had anticipated, with lovely decor and everything we needed. There were plenty of spare towels which was a bonus. It's also in a good spot for Soco and central Austin. (Car / public transport needed to get into the heart of Soco.)"
224979,1128674,2012-04-14,2011754,Julie,"I love this cottage! It was very well decorated, comfortable and inviting. The location is great  and very accessible. Joe was a great host. He was very attentive and prompt with contact. I hope to stay here every time I'm in town. "
224979,1195139,2012-04-29,1422930,Jessie,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Joe's Cottage while visiting Austin for a week in April.  It is perfectly situated on a quiet street with very easy access to the best parts of Austin.  We both agreed that the Cottage is located in the neatest part of the city -- SoCo.  

The Cottage was wonderful -- clean, well-appointed, comfortable.  We even cooked several meals there.  Joe was very responsive and kind.  He and Juanita did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable.  We will definitely stay here again when we visit Austin!"
224979,1216180,2012-05-02,1975103,Sheila,"The SoCO Super Chic Cottage is a really lovely cottage. My stay there was the perfect way to sample Austin. I had all the convience of a hotel, but in the peace and quiet of a family neighborhood. "
224979,1276787,2012-05-14,2015060,Christina,"We absolutely loved staying here, I can't imagine how it could have been better!  Everything was comfortable, beautiful & clean... even better than the pictures or description!  3"
224979,1371127,2012-05-29,722229,Misti,The cottage was conveniently located and very aesthetically appealing.  It was very clean and comfortable.  The cottage was secluded and we had plenty of privacy.  I would highly recommend this place.
224979,1454818,2012-06-11,73211,Jennice,"My stay at The Cottage was absolutely wonderful and exceeded my expectations.  For me, the location was perfect as it was a short walk or bus ride to everything I needed. The Cottage itself was super cute, clean and quiet. Joe made himself available by phone in case I needed anything which was a relief as it was my very trip to Austin. I had such a great time and was very happy with my accommodations.  I'm looking forward to my next trip to Austin and I would DEFINITELY try to stay here again."
224979,1511551,2012-06-18,2609544,Marie,Had a wonderful stay at the cottage and will definitely book again.  Super cute accomodations in a great location!  This was my first AIRBNB experience and I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful and thoughtful host!        
224979,1555753,2012-06-25,839485,Helen,"I can't begin to say enough nice things about Joe and his sweet little cottage.  First, I want to say that this was my first Airbnb experience so Joe had to do a lot of hand-holding to help me get verified and explain policies.  He was so friendly and patient always.  Things went very smoothly.

I love the SoCo cottage.  The place is spotless and so well thought out.  They used the softest bedding and towels and nice granite and tiles so it feels fancier that I would have ever expected for the price.  The location is just right too.  Not too far from the cool part of SoCo (but far enough so you don't need to deal with traffic). The bar down the street is worth a visit too.  When I had a minor issue, Joe's wife was beyond accommodating!  

The place isn't quite as cute from the outside as it is inside.... but once you are inside you are wrapped up in all of it's goodness you will be happy and comfortable.


I can't wait to comeback here or any of other Joe's properties. The best deal in all of Austin for sure!!!  Thank you so much Joe!!!"
224979,1587355,2012-06-29,2011754,Julie,"The cottage is great. I am a return guest, and I stay at one of Joe's properties as often as they are available. The location is great, and Joe is an excellent host. Highly recommended! "
224979,1621327,2012-07-03,2204025,Brandy,"Since this was our first experience with AirBNB, I was a little nervous about what to expect. I'm happy to report that we had a lovely time in Austin at Joe's Cottage. He was an incredibly responsive host and answered all questions I had, usually within an hour or less. 

The cottage was very clean and cool when we arrived very late in the evening. We had no issues getting in despite rolling into town at about 11 p.m. We were pleased to find that Joe had left a nice hand-written note and a bottle of wine 

We did have an issue connecting to the wireless internet, which was quickly solved by rebooting the wireless router -- thanks to Joe's wife to helping us fix that quickly. Worked flawlessly afterward for the rest of our trip. 

The location is great -- easy to find; great access to downtown without all the noise. We spent an evening at the Crow Bar -- an establishment just a short walk up the street. They have an amazing juke box and delicious mixed drinks. Totally worth your time. 

In all, we had a great experience at the Cottage. It was just what we needed -- comfortable, clean, easy to access, and private. I'd certainly stay here again if and when we return to Austin. Can't beat a place this nice for the price.

"
224979,1648655,2012-07-07,2011754,Julie,Love this place! Love Joe! I stay here as often as I can. 
224979,1676328,2012-07-10,2530613,Dawn,"We absolutely LOVED the cottage! It was located in a quiet little neighborhood, just a minute away from the coolest shops and restaurants on Congress.  The cottage was comfy and cozy, with everything you need (even a blow dryer!).  We had an amazing trip and plan to stay here anytime we are back in Austin."
224979,1697516,2012-07-13,1433785,Kerrie,"Joe's place was awesome. It was very easy to get to, and located super close to downtown and had a cool bar right on the corner. The cabin was gorgeous, very clean and decorated so pretty. He also left us a bottle of wine, which was amazing. We did not get to meet him, but he was so easy to communicate with and well organized. Would stay there again in a heart beat :) thank you Joe!"
224979,1750926,2012-07-19,786408,Marilyn,"This was my first stay in an accomodation through Airbnb.  If they are all like this, I will never stay in a hotel again.  Our place was attractive and immaculate.  We even found a bottle of wine waiting to welcome us.  While never meeting the owner or property manager, all instructions regarding key, parking, etc. were very clearly communicated.  Joe is a master at providing travelers with a safe and comfortable stay.   "
224979,1787086,2012-07-24,2123705,Nick,"This was a very nice little cottage, very clean and fresh. Definitley will stay there again. Thanks."
224979,1853559,2012-07-31,563400,Georgina,Very nice and cozy cottage! Host even treated us with a bottle of wine. Thank you so much Joe.
224979,1876622,2012-08-03,2011754,Julie,This cottage is great! Joe is a wonderful host. I stay here often and highly recommend!!
224979,1902664,2012-08-06,2690303,Amy,Great spot! Had everything we needed. Thank you so much Joe! Would gladly stay there again.
224979,1971232,2012-08-13,2966333,Susan,This is a great place to stay! My husband and I visit Austin often and decided to try Airbnb out for the first time instead of staying at a hotel. We loved the location  as well as the amenities the cottage had to offer. We will definitely stay here again!
224979,2005365,2012-08-16,2930943,Constanza,"My husband and I got back yesterday from spending three days at this lovely cottage.  We found everything we needed to feel right at home in this spotless, charmingly decorated place.  
The cottage is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but a car (or other kind of transportation) is needed to go places. Not much is near to where walking would suffice. 
Other than that, there is nothing but praise for this little gem. 
This is our third experience with Airbnb in the last few months, and we just love it!!!"
224979,2163035,2012-09-01,3190431,Kasey,"This place is awesome!  We'll never book a boring hotel room again.  The house was super comfortable and a great size, Joe was incredibly helpful answering my questions as we were first time users Air B&B, the linens were lush, and all of the finishings felt really high-end and luxurious. Will definitely stay here again when traveling to Austin.  Thanks, Joe!"
224979,2190201,2012-09-04,2405399,Lauren,"My boyfriend and I spent the holiday weekend here, and it was perfect. The location is great, just 10 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes from great shops and restaurants on S. Congress. The cottage was clean and very nice. The quiet residential neighborhood was a great retreat after coming back from the busy downtown scene. We had everything we could have needed, making our stay in Austin that much better."
224979,2221765,2012-09-07,1809936,Echoin,Joe's property is beautiful and comfy! Wonderful experience! I'll check out his property again whenever I come to Austin. Highly recommended!
224979,2272224,2012-09-13,1632099,Catherine,We had a great time at Joe's studio/cottage. From the start all communication was excellent and everything went very smoothly! It is in a great location just a short bus ride from the SoCo district. The cottage was immaculate and had all that we needed. We would certainly stay here again if visiting Austin. 
224979,2309523,2012-09-17,3267692,Lauren,"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It was close to lots of restaurants and things to do in the SoCo area. The cottage was clean and neat and private. It was very nice to have the conveniences of home, like a coffee maker, microwave, and fridge. This was a great alternative to a hotel for us, especially for the very reasonable price. We appreciate the instructions Joe left us as well. They were very specific and left us knowing exactly what to do as opposed to driving up and having no clue where to park, where to go, how to get in, etc. I only had to contact Joe once because another renter had not followed the parking instructions, and his wife called and apologized for the inconvenience (which was not an incovenience to us at all). She was extrememly nice and made sure the issue was resolved and that our stay was going well. We would definitely recommend this property for anyone visiting Ausin."
224979,2362677,2012-09-21,3399977,Jason,"Stay was excellent. However, Joe the host decided to publicly write 'I elect to opt out of a review for this guest'  as backlash for not reviewing him... until now. 

I had a great stay but now I'm at odds about the host. Have a wonderful stay in the cottage, but then expect to be bullied into leaving a positive review- or suffer a poor public review yourself.

Joe, with an excellent stay in your cottage along with the generous hospitality, you need not take such a negative stance toward a guest deciding to not leave a review- it is our right to take that option, respect that. 


"
224979,2444324,2012-09-29,157749,Kirsten,"My husband and I made our 5th anniversary one to remember in Austin, and the cottage was a perfect little home away from home. Sooooo much better than a hotel, and it was in the perfect location just a few minutes drive to FantasticFest at the Alamo Drafthouse, to the funky-cute shops and food trailers on SoCo, to ""just the right"" spot to see the bats on the Congress Ave bridge, to the Blanton Museum, to 6th Street's fun and eclectic scene, to the Capitol...to everything!  We loved Austin and loved our cozy cottage where we could relax when we were just too tired to keep seeing it all. Thanks, Joe, for great instructions and communication which made booking and enjoying a lovely home ever-so-easy! We'd definitely stay here again if we're visiting Austin."
224979,2466767,2012-10-01,770074,Lisa,"Nice neat cottage in a great quiet location.  Enjoyed the stay there, would definitely book this place again!"
224979,2555675,2012-10-09,2464783,Jenn,"I was in town for a friend's wedding and my boyfriend and I stayed three nights at the Cottage. Our dozen or so other friends who were in town were spread out among hotels all over town, and we were definitely the envy of the group when we told them where our Cottage was located. We were so close to South Congress, which we went to twice, as well as South Lamar, where another number of popular restaurants and shops are located. Zilker Park, home to Barton Springs, was just 7 minutes away -- and Lady Bird Lake, where we went for an early morning walk downtown was just 5 minutes away. The Cottage itself was clean, well stocked and so much cozier than a hotel room. It was private and safe, in a backyard with a privacy fence, and we have no complaints. We will definitely be back! "
224979,2639477,2012-10-17,234654,Chris,"Amazing place close to the best area in the city to stay (SoCo). Absolutely loved it here, only positives about the place and the ease of the whole experience. 
"
224979,2667047,2012-10-20,3847426,Grimlyn,This was my first time using Airbnb but I promise it will always be my first choice in the future.  Our trip to Austin was one of the most pleasant get-a-ways we have ever experienced.  The cottage was adorable and by far the most clean and organized. The locations was perfect for our visit to One World Theater in Austin. We also had a day trip to San Antoinio. My friend and I love to travel so staying at places similar to this is just what we were looking for.  I highly recommend using Airbnb to everyone.. Thank you very much for the great memories of  the beautiful city of Austin tx...
224979,2677711,2012-10-22,2563029,Helen,"This was my first time ever using Airbnb and I am so glad that I tried it!!  The Cottage that I stayed in was as comfortable and as private as staying in my own home.  It was beautifully decorated and super clean.  The lay out of the cottage was very well thought out.  
    
Joe is a great host!  He laid everything out clearly and responded to all of my questions quickly.  Joe also gave me a list of suggestions on what to do and where to eat in Austin.  This was helpful especially because since this was my first time in Austin.  I highly recommend staying in any of the properties that Joe hosts.    "
224979,2743433,2012-10-29,2423654,Whitney + Erik,"The cottage was great! Conveniently located for what we wanted to do in Austin. It's not necessarily within a short walking distance of the SoCo shops, but we knew that going in, so there was no concern. Everything was comfortable and clean and we enjoyed staying there very much. Would definitely return and recommend it to friends!"
224979,2823083,2012-11-07,3284307,Mark & Kelly,"We really enjoyed our time in Austin at Joe's cottage. We didn't have any problems finding the location--it is very conveniently located close to the bus stop. The cottage was clean, quiet, air-conditioned, and the free parking was never an issue. The full kitchen was a great perk. Plenty of bath linens during our 6-night stay. Joe provided more than enough information in the welcome packet so we never even had to bother him with questions. Thanks for making our stay in Austin so enjoyable and affordable!"
224979,2873949,2012-11-13,1808625,Anais,"Joe was extremely helpful and communicative through the whole booking process and leading up to the reservation. The cottage is absolutely lovely. The space is clean & obviously very well cared for. The location couldn't have been more perfect - if you happen to be coming in to attend a wedding at Mercury Hall, this is the place to stay - it's about a ten minute walk away. Overall, a really great experience. "
224979,2890816,2012-11-15,2011754,Julie,"I love the cottage and stay often. The location is great, and Joe couldn't be a better host! I highly recommend this, and all of Joe's other properties. "
224979,2963676,2012-11-26,179772,Daniel,"Our stay at the SoCo cottage was quite enjoyable. The place was as clean as looks in the pictures. It was very convenient to walk to places in the neighborhood, and Crow Bar was a cool spot to go have a beer with locals.
There are also a lot of cool restaurants and shops nearby.
The cottage is quite small, but if that doesn't bother you, then this place is a great option for the price.
The kitchen is fully equipped and it was great to be able to cook every day, but the true highlight of this place was the bed! It was really comfortable and we got the rest we needed.
We didn't get to meet Joe (the host), but he was very responsive during the reservation process and and seemed very attentive."
224979,3036590,2012-12-06,4166501,Megan,"Our stay at the cottage was perfect. We came in late and had no trouble finding the house or the cottage in the back. It was a convenient location to get to everything in town, most importantly to see family that lives on the other side of 35. I think this is a much better stay than any of the hotels that are in the area."
224979,3076101,2012-12-12,2345892,Rich,"My transaction with Joe was handled professionally from start to finish. He was quick to respond when I first inquired about the availability of the SoCo cottage. Within minutes after I booked and paid for the unit, I received an information packet by email with all the information I needed on the property.
My wife and I were very impressed with the SoCo Cottage. It is a one room cottage located in the backyard of a single family dwelling. It is very nicely decorated and furnished and was extremely comfortable.
It has a complete kitchen and one bathroom. The wifi was greatly appreciated.
It is a great property at a great value. Our cost was $60 per night. The location is very good with a bar, restaurants, and coffee shop all within walking distance.
I would defintely stay again. It was a pleasure renting from Joe."
224979,3102273,2012-12-17,3937420,Susan,"This was my first experience with airbnb and it was awesome! The cottage far exceeded my expectations. It was clean, nicely decorated, and the perfect size for my husband and I. The location was good- close to all the shops on SoCo and just a short driving distance to downtown. I have to give Joe extra props for the condition of the cottage- it was very clean, it smelled nice and fresh and all the finishes in the bathroom and kitchen were nicely done. Joe was very easy to communicate with and always responded promptly. A nice welcome package was emailed to me shortly after booking with all the instructions for our stay (plus extras on transportation, nearby places of interest, etc.). I would definitely recommend the cottage without hesitation! Great place to stay!!"
224979,3169749,2012-12-28,1165092,Sofia,"From the very beginning, Joe was swift to respond with my queries and worked with me to secure this cottage for my parents (they were visiting from Ohio for the holidays).  I only saw the cottage briefly, but was very impressed with the cottage's cleanliness and tasteful decor.

This is the note that my Dad wanted me to include in my review of the cottage:

             ""I cannot describe how wonderful our cottage rental was. On entry it was immaculate. The location was perfect. I have travelled around the world and quite honestly nothing compares to the experience we had staying at this cottage. It was quiet and a perfect location to recharge after hours of being out and about in the absolute wonderful city of Austin.  I definitely recommend this location.  Thank you for allowing us to stay at this wonderful cottage and I hope you will allow us to stay again!"""
224979,3236904,2013-01-03,2328804,Alice,"This place was perfect! It is not only adorable and decorated with care and taste, it is SO convenient! We were right where everyone wants to be-- SoCo! The bed, linens, and pillows were wonderful! Finally, a place with comfortable soft pillows! Nice big TV, great little kitchen (love not having to eat every meal in a restaurant) fully equipped with a coffee pot, toaster, etc., and a really nice bathroom-- spacious and clean as can be. Joe left clear, explicit directions on getting into the house, so even though we got there late and we had never been there before, it was all good. Thanks, Joe. This was a real find, and we will be sure to spread the word to others we know traveling to Austin. Thank you!!"
224979,3283506,2013-01-05,4489169,Kyle,"Being new to the Air BnB community, I must admit I was nervous about how this might work.  Joe was professional with a nice welcome packet that clearly lined out how the BnB would work and the very basic common sense guidelines he wished for us to keep in mind.  He was also personable and even was willing to help us with the possibility of a second vehicle even though there was just one parking space for the BnB.  We didn't need to utilize this but he was so conscientious and helpful all the way through.  The home was immaculate and was carefully appointed for every basic need a guest could have.  I will definitely stay at one of Joe's properties unless he is booked.    As to being new to Air BnB, well, Joe has set the bar high.  I can't imagine it being any better than this!"
224979,3346181,2013-01-14,735736,John,"Enjoyed the stay.  Everything was as described and the pictures are accurate.  We stayed two nights and the girlfriend thought it was clean, so it was clean.  Will definitely consider again!  "
224979,3394656,2013-01-22,4337019,Brad,The cottage was wonderful. it is in a nice quiet part of town and was very relaxing. Everything we needed for the stay was there. Joe was also very prompt with answering any of our questions. I would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Austin.
224979,3469329,2013-02-04,1599890,Andrew,"We stayed at Joe Miller's Cottage for a second time from Jan. 30 to Feb. 2 and had a very enjoyable stay.  We travel to Austin  to visit our son and find the location of the cottage very convenient to the South Congress area and his neighborhood.  The cottage was just as we remembered it from our first trip - clean, comfortable and quiet.  It is at the end of a nice residential street and very private.  We enjoy having the independence of our own separate space and really enjoy staying there.  We usually rent a car and drive downtown to South Congress but there is convenient bus service at the top of the street.  You can also walk and the South Congress commercial area is only about a mile away.  Will happily return to the Cottage on our next trip."
224979,3500625,2013-02-09,3676616,June,"Q+(Cx3) Quiet, Cute, Cozy and Comfortable. The accommodations were just as pictured. Stellar! It was perfect after a hectic day of meetings.  The bed was wonderful.  I enjoyed the spa like bath and it has the best hot shower in Austin!  It was nice to be close to SOCO hot spots and DT as well.  Joe's instructions were spot on and his wife was gracious and quick to respond to a question.  Next time I visit Austin I hope to stay at one of Joe's cottages. "
224979,3526588,2013-02-12,2983448,Richard,"The property was exactly as advertised; clean, neat, and very well appointed.  We had everything we needed and then some.  The location was ideal for quick access to SOCO, and the sights of Austin.  Very easy to find, secure, and an excellent place to stay.  We would definitely stay there again.  Thank you Joe for being a great host and allowing us to stay in your cabin."
224979,3540295,2013-02-14,2011754,Julie,"I love staying at Joe's properties and do so as often as possible. He is a great host! The properties are all clean, comfortable and well decorated, and the location is very central to downtown and SoCo. Highly recommended!"
224979,3558443,2013-02-17,4163113,Ryan,"My girlfriend and I wanted a few days in the warm weather of sunny Austin.  The cottage surpassed our expectations.  The welcome packet that Joe sent prior to the stay was very complete and informative.  Ranging from accessing the cottage, to things available in the area from food to entertainment.  It was very useful to people like us who wanted to experience Austin but weren't sure where to begin.

The cottage itself was very clean and very well maintained.  During our 3 day stay each time we walked in to the place it smelled fresh and clean and felt like a home away from home.  The use of space was awesome and we couldn't help but appreciate it multiple times.

The neighborhood was very quiet and the bed was comfortable and the sleep peaceful.  We decided to stay and extra day but unfortunately the cottage was not available.  Joe's wife however was happy to recommended a few hotels in the area we could stay in and did what she could to see if any other cottages were available of Joe's.  We did end up meeting her on the morning we checked out and she was just as pleasurable in person as she was on the phone.

We can't speak highly enough of the cottage, the stay, and the professionalism we experienced.  The cottage is definitely recommended for long or short stays in Austin, TX.  This is our first time using airBNB, first time going to a BnB at all, and first time interacting with Joe and it certainly will not be our last.  Austin was great and we will be back!

"
224979,3581629,2013-02-19,3751638,Danielle,My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay in Joe's cottage. It was a cozy and relaxing place for our quick Austin adventure. I could certainly tell he works hard to keep the cottage in great shape! He was very professional and timely with his responses to any questions. 
224979,3618770,2013-02-26,4696599,Paula,"Joe and his 5 Star Cottage definitely rates 5 well-deserved stars.  Our stay at his cottage was our first experience with airbnb.com, so we had no idea what to expect.  Joe answered our all inquires promptly and clearly.  The Welcome Packet was detailed and informative. The cottage is very clean, well-equipped, comfortable, quiet, and in a great Austin location. The bed has THE most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on.  We appreciated that Joe was responsive, but also respected our privacy during our stay.  We definitely want to stay again when we visit Austin.  "
224979,3669056,2013-03-02,605765,Guillermo,"Joe's place is great! Very clean, comfortable and well located. It has everything you need for your stay. The location is safe and it is close to SoCo!! Please don't hesitate and stay at Joe's!!"
224979,3686293,2013-03-04,4908767,Alia,"From my very first interaction with Joe, he was a saint! The flow of communication was quick and easy and making the reservation was even easier. The welcome packet was a great way to let us know the details and even provided us with tidbits about Austin and where things were close by. Once we arrived we got to the cottage with the great instructions provided and arrived easily. The cottage was neat, clean and just as we expected! Anyone visiting Austin should definitely look into staying at one of Joe's places. The ease of communication and immaculate accommodations are well worth it! Thanks Joe!"
224979,3720355,2013-03-08,2377664,Aerin,"I came to Austin for the second time for SXSWEdu. Last year, I stayed downtown and really felt that I missed out on SoCo, so this time I was determined to do it better! When I opened the door to Joe's cottage, I immediately felt at home. Sweetly decorated, comfortable, fully equipped, and relaxingly private, this cottage is absolutely perfect. Joe provided great information prior to my arrival, so I found the location easily and was impressed with the local amenities (especially Crow Bar on the corner - perfect for a nightcap). I was able to enjoy the many charms of SoCo while having easy access to the events downtown, and I can't say how nice it was to escape the mayhem and come back at night to the little oasis with it's comfy bed, plethora of pillows, and full wifi/cable.
The value, comfort and convenience of the cottage can't be overstated. 
I'll be back in September and will hopefully get a chance to stay here again. "
224979,3770182,2013-03-12,1407718,Charm,"Joe is a sweet and caring host who will take care of you well before you step in to this sweet cottage! He responds to requests quickly and the welcome guide he has created is chock-full of info from check-in/out procedures, parking, transit and local haunts. SoCo is a great neighborhood and a convenient place to stay during SXSW. 

The 5 Star Cottage also deserves some of the credit! It was very warm and cozy and it was a delight to come home to and unwind in every evening. Fluffy pillows, clean sheets & towels and the most comfortable mattress comparable to boutique hotels made our stay luxurious! 

So don't hesitate booking this place! Joe is well prepared to welcome you into his home and you will definitely feel safe knowing you are in good hands."
224979,3795936,2013-03-16,4819737,Tyler,"We had a great stay in Austin at Joe's cottage during SXSW. As a 1st time Airbnb-er, I can only hope that every experience is as smooth and enjoyable as this. Joe was a fantastic host: he was very quick to respond to my messages, provided thorough information about the property and surroundings, and was friendly and helpful. The cottage itself was very clean, comfortable, quiet, and in a great location (I think the South Congress area really displays the essence of Austin). I can very highly recommend the cottage, Joe, and a visit to Austin!"
224979,3906495,2013-03-26,5038786,Pj,"Joe's 5-star cottage was great!  Super easy access to and from Ben White Blvd, South Congress, and really just about everything Austin has to offer.  The Cottage was great!  It was a nice quaint space for myself, my wife, and our 19 month old son.  Nice and private, quiet, and just really a perfect substitute for hotels that can be totally hit and miss.  
Joe was very accommodating and so easy to work with.  This was our first use of airbnb.com, and he made the experience a great one.  We look forward to renting from Joe again on our next trip to Austin!!!"
224979,4053076,2013-04-06,5290702,David,Everything was exactly as it was advertised. Very clean and comfortable. We had a problem with the Internet and called Joe and it was taken care of promptly. We highly recommend staying at this place. We will probably try a stay there again when we go back to Austin.
224979,4117465,2013-04-11,5308565,Alfred,"Great value, good location, secluded, safe and quiet.The cottage was beautifully clean, comfortable, and well thought out. The decor was tasteful, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bed linen and towels were luxuriously soft. All that you might require. As the accommodation is allergy-free, we were unable to open a window, which we would have enjoyed, especially in the bathroom. We would definitely stay there again."
224979,4246264,2013-04-22,5230352,Donna,Great cozy cottage in a fabulous location.  The neighborhood was very quiet and the bed so very comfortable that getting a good night's sleep was easy!  The kitchen has all the furnishings a person needs.  Instructions from Joe were easy to follow and all went as he said.  Will definitely stay at one of Joe's properties again.
224979,4374604,2013-05-01,1766996,Scott,"I stayed at the cottage for 6 nights in late April 2013. The location was great. Right beside a bus stop to go down South Congress or to get downtown. The neighbourhood was very nice as well. Cottage came as described and was very clean. Having an air conditioner that works good was definitely a plus.

I contacted Joe a couple times during the trip and he always got back to me promptly which was nice.

I agree that the cottage is 5 stars and I'd definitely stay here again."
224979,4445174,2013-05-06,5119474,DeAnn,"The room was very cute and clean, the bed very comfortable. Did not care for the walkway to get to it, dark and a tripping hazard with concrete, then walking through damp grass. It was  a little noisy from the people staying in the residence sitting outside until very late at night, so I had to use my sound machine app. But over all we liked it and would definitely stay here again."
224979,4704830,2013-05-21,448515,Ellen,"I do not think there is any way these accommodations could have been better.  It was private, quiet, comfortable, convenient, clean, and everything else I could ask for.  I was a little skeptical before I arrived, thinking that all of those glowing recommendations had to be exaggerated, but they are right on! Thank you Joe and Bella (whom I never met, or even phoned, because everything was perfect and there was no need.)  "
224979,4834513,2013-05-28,5826936,Timor,"Joe's and Bella's Cottage was an awesome experience, the place was clean and had all the amneties that a 5 star hotel would have, the cottage is located in a fantastic location close to all the shops in Socco, and a 7 minutes drive to downtown.

Joe, thank you for being our host and if we ever had to go to austin again, we hope you would be our host again."
224979,5117213,2013-06-13,6393010,Kelly,"Could not have asked for a nicer place to stay.... The cottage was the envy of my friends in Austin. 
Spacious self contained space with everything I could need, very quiet road but in walking distance of some great bars and easy access to South Congress shops. I even walked a few times! Excellent communications from Joe and Bella all the way through my stay. I felt very comfortable and welcome and would absolutely stay with them again and urge you to do the same....You certainly wouldn't regret it."
224979,5190054,2013-06-17,4131406,Carrie,"This is the second time I've reserved one of Joe and Bella's units and there is nowhere else I'd rather stay while in Austin! There are four separate units on the property and I would be happy staying in any of them - they are all so charming, comfortable and clean. It's apparent that previous guests have been respectful of the properties because they are very well-maintained. Also, I don't know what type of products the cleaning lady uses, but the units and linens always smell sooo fresh! Joe and Bella are so gracious, prompt to respond to any inquiries or issues you may have, and willing to bend over backwards to make your stay pleasant. By the way, I was able to check out the Crow Bar at the end of the street this time - loved the patio! I will most certainly be back in the future!!! "
224979,5325975,2013-06-24,1099104,Chris,"We really enjoyed our stay at Joe and Bella's cottage in Austin. The cottage was really cute, immaculate, clean, and appears exactly as shown in the photos posted. We loved the area- there are tons of restaurants, bars, a grocery store, and live music venues super close by. If we were to visit Austin in the future we'd definitely try to stay here again!"
224979,5402011,2013-06-28,6357248,Nina,"Joe and Bella were great hosts. They were very responsive during our stay. The cottage was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The cottage is located near the South Congress strip and we enjoyed visiting the shops and restaurants nearby. Joe and Bella were even able to make a special accommodation for us, which we really appreciated. We would stay here again! "
224979,5471657,2013-07-01,587934,Lisa,"Joe and Bella's cottage is ALWAYS an excellent choice. Literally across the street from St. Edward's, it is the go-to accommodation for friends and family of students. But, it is also a great location to access the L or M bus line which will take you straight up South Congress into the heart of downtown Austin. On the corner of the street is a hopping bar/music venue, if you're looking to unwind. This place is also right down the street from an HEB and CVS, and mere blocks from other big box stores. The cottage itself is quiet and secluded with a wonderful bed, and fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom. It even has a little front porch with chairs to relax in. You cannot beat the location, price or comfort of this lovely cottage!"
224979,5609409,2013-07-08,6742659,Vina,"Joe and Bella's Chic Cottage definitely lived up to its name. This wonderful hideaway came beautifully apportioned, was spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Everything in the cottage was exactly as described, and well-deserving of the rave reviews I'd read before our stay. Easily within walking distance of the bars and restaurants on South Congress, Joe and Bella's cottage also made a perfect base for exploring Austin and getting the most out of our weekend there without spending too much time behind the wheel. 

Overall, a fantastic property with fantastic hosts . . . would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!"
224979,5670399,2013-07-10,5576589,Tiffany,"This place was a great location, amazing rate, and super clean. You had privacy and didn't feel any obligations for interactions kinda like a hotel which I found refreshing since it was a getaway for me.. but if you needed anything Bella was there! 
Easy communication and no confusion at all--thorough instructions and local suggestions.

They made accommodations for me even though I was scrambling the night before (really last minute) to find a place-- no problem at all.
Would definitely recommend and stay here again.
Thanks Bella!"
224979,5847179,2013-07-19,2011754,Julie,"Love, love, love Joe & Bella & their properties. I stay with them every chance I get. Highly recommended!!"
224979,5921065,2013-07-22,7030011,Tara,"The cottage was charming, private, well organized and displayed, clean, and perfectly suited to our needs. We were very happy with our experience and would gladly stay there again and recommend it to others. "
224979,6061446,2013-07-28,5761244,Desiree,"The space was immaculate. Really clean and tidy. Smaller than I thought it would be but very good use of the space. Overall, the whole process went smoothly and we had no problems at all. The place itself is about a mile from the action of soco, so walkable if you'd like but using the bus was easy (and cheap!) as well. Nice price for the location, too. Would recommend!"
224979,6253546,2013-08-05,7545424,Leslie,"We loved staying at Joe and Bella's cottage.  It was everything we wanted and more. It was clean, quiet and comfortable.  We used the Metro bus and were able to get around easily all over Austin.   We never met our hosts but when we couldn't get the WiFi to work, they responded to a text immediately and solved the problem.  We definitely recommend the cottage and are looking forward to our next trip."
224979,6349400,2013-08-09,7449229,Caleb,"This is a wonderful cottage! We stayed for our honeymoon and it was a perfect size and price for us! We loved the location, and the cottage was very well furnished. Very comfortable and quaint. Definitely stay here if you want a quiet retreat while very close to the hip parts of Austin! "
224979,6441682,2013-08-12,7838628,Sarah,Great location and great place. First time using airbnb and it was a great experience.
224979,6647701,2013-08-19,5339598,Matt,"My wife and I stayed here and loved it! Clean, located well, and private. Highly recommend."
224979,6732911,2013-08-23,7169513,Hannah,"This cottage was perfect for a couple's getaway. We had zero complaints during our entire stay. It was clean, cozy and had an awesome location. The queen bed was super comfy and the kitchen was great for small meals and late-night snacking. Though the cottage was located in the backyard of the property and you had to walk around the main house to get to it, this didn't pose any problems for us. It actually made the experience even better, giving the cottage a very quiet and peaceful location even though your actually right next to South Congress.

Definitely Recommend! We will be staying here again in the future! =D"
224979,6855637,2013-08-27,4380976,Melanie,"Well located on a quiet street with a hip bar (Crow Bar) on the corner, Joe and Bella's offers a great location with a hotel like feel. Supermarkets and the shops of SoCo are a short drive away, along with the hip eateries on 1st. It's also less than 30 minutes from the airport, which makes it easy to get in and get out. 

Check in and check out instructions were clear and helpful, the air conditioner worked great which was a relief in the intense August heat, and everything was clean and cute. Bella was also very friendly and gave us a lot of tips on Austin. Would stay here again!"
224979,7065461,2013-09-05,1762545,Karen,"The SoCo Cottage was everything we hoped for.  It was close to all of Austin's major highways yet very quiet with no noisy neighbors or noisy traffic.  The bed was super comfortable, and the AC worked beautifully, even in the three digit heat.  We would have sat outside on the covered porch, but it was too hot for us New Yorkers!   The kitchen was well-stocked, and we ate all of our breakfasts and a few dinners in.  There was plenty of hot water for our numerous showers and extra towels if we needed them.  We stayed for a week, and there was plenty of space for all of our clothes, shoes and other belongings.  The WiFi worked beautifully.  We only used the TV a couple of times because we were so busy.  It was great to come ""home"" and have an assigned parking space close by.  Joe was very patient with me and answered all my questions when I booked the Cottage.  I never did meet him, but my husband and I met his wife, Bella.  She was very friendly and gracious.  If we ever return to Austin, we would not hesitate to stay at the Cottage again.  Everything went smoothly without a hitch.   It's obvious that Joe and Bella take pride in their property."
224979,7323083,2013-09-16,5742722,Amy,"This is my second time to stay here. The location is great. The cottage is perfect for one or two people. Next time I come back to ATX, I will stay here again. Thanks Joe and Bella."
224979,7904005,2013-10-07,8116644,Michael,"We went to Austin on very shirt notice. Joe and Bella responded so quickly, with in minutes actually.  The cottage was great spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Once confirmed,  a perfectly detailed email with instructions arrived. The area was great. No more then a 5 min drive from the heart of Austin. We would defiantly stay again.  "
224979,8071486,2013-10-14,9314127,Jp,This cottage was very clean and quiet! Perfect for weekend get away. Communication from owners was also great. 
224979,8404592,2013-10-29,6576348,Marsha,"Bella's and Joe's cottage was perfect in every way for me!  I will definitely return and wish I were still there.  It is quiet, peaceful, wonderfully decorated, comfortable and clean.  Meeting Bella was the best part, as was walking through the neighborhood to be greeted by smiling neighbors.  Bella's friendly personality is the best example for why Austin is always on the top of the list for friendliest cities in the US.
The cottage is located across from St. Edwards and perfect place for a visiting professor to stay.
Check in was easy, as was check out.
For this present stay in Austin, I have lived in three places. Bella's and Joe's place is #1 and when I return to Austin again, this is where I will stay.
Thank you, Bella and Joe for such a great Austin experience."
224979,8536861,2013-11-04,482474,Bryony,"We had a wonderful time at Joe and Bella's house.  Very clean, with everything we needed for a short stay.  The house was very convenient in SoCo, and there were detailed instructions so we had no hassles or questions during our stay.  Highly recommended!!"
224979,8596606,2013-11-07,5268364,Abi Saafir & Aston,"We had a fantastic stay! The place was conveniently located off of Congress. It was a bit further down from the 
main scene than we expected, so if you don't have a car, plan on a bus or bike trip toward downtown. We met Bella and she was really nice. There were a few minor hiccups, but Bella helped us immediately.

The accommodations were great...you get a full kitchen with lots of dishes and storage space. We were impressed by the quality of work done by whoever remodeled the building. We had a great stay!

Saafir and Aston"
224979,8727118,2013-11-14,7717841,Eric/Stacey,"Joe and Bella provided us with a wonderful stay! Their property was extremely clean, quiet and very very private. Also it was updated with great amenities. If you are into cooking at home, bring your own cooking oil, seasonings, knives and cutting boards.Otherwise they provided everything else you might need. 

We would recommend this place for couples as well as groups that could rental the entire facility that all want to be together but have their own space. Also their description doesn't give the area justice as the property is super close to amazing restaurants, bars and cute shops. 

Overall a must stay in Austin! Thanks Joe and Bella!     "
224979,9030046,2013-12-02,9118813,Elizabeth,"We have always stayed with my sister while in Austin, but with four children, wives & husbands no room for us. My niece told me about Airbnb...Wow...we hit the jackpot with Joe & Bella's SoCo Cottage. Spotless, cozy, quiet, & just great! We stayed 4 nights & we really wanted to stay longer, but time to get home. 
We got to meet Bella & she was very kind.  She showed us each unit that they rent out & each were darling & we want to stay in each one!! We have recommended & will continue to recommend the SoCo property. Thank you for a GREAT stay. "
224979,9082518,2013-12-05,9953891,John,"Well, this cottage was splendid... located in the back of the property in a very nice neighborhood near St. Edwards - private and quiet.  Also quite clean - spotless and bright with natural light... a little loveseat and bedside tables - very cozy and comfortable...don't wanna say this too, too loud but this is one of Austin's true treasures. Our hosts, Joe and Bella, were excellent ambassadors of Austin's unique style and genuine goodwill to visitors and guests.
Will come back soon to this new sweet home away from home."
224979,9195354,2013-12-12,4363395,Casey,"My week-long stay was perfect!  The accommodations are beautifully maintained, and I slept like a baby!  I have already re-booked for my next trip to Austin- I enjoyed it that much!  Thanks Joe & Bella! "
224979,9354970,2013-12-23,10161782,Shane,Had an absolute amazing time in Austin. Couldnt have asked for a better place to stay for a long weekend. Joe and Bella's property was immaculate. It had everything you would need and more.
224979,9758722,2014-01-08,6424859,Alejandro,"I highly recommend staying at this cottage.  The place is very clean, organized, tastefully decorated and comfortable.  Also, it is within walking distance to the main attractions in Austin. 

Overall, a great experience.  Thank you Joe & Bella.  

"
224979,9986444,2014-01-23,10886562,Paddy,"Loved our stay in their very comfortable cottage.  We were in Austin on business, so it was a perfect situation to be able to have a kitchenette and do our work.  
Bella was very sweet in making sure we had all that we needed.  "
224979,10081789,2014-01-29,4717407,Elliot,"This was a great experience right from the start.  Before leaving home we received a comprehensive and clear package of information about the cottage and the area.
Upon arrival, the cottage was easily accessed and immaculate.  Everything worked great, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was completely stocked with unusually plush towels.
We did have a question upon arrival and Joe responded immediately.
We would definitely want to stay here again.
This is a sweet little cottage for one or two people who want to be close to one of the coolest parts of Austin.
Thanks Joe and Bella"
224979,10265514,2014-02-10,11146682,Casey,"My wife and I had a wonderful time in Austin, and much in due part to the accomodations of Joe and Bella's cottage. It was extremely clean, my wife said it was cute, and a great location. They turned on the heater for us before we arrived in Austin because it was really cold outside. They were gracious hosts, and the property was quiet and centrally located. I would recommend this cottage to all. We have been to Austin numerous times before, and have stayed in many places, but we will forever be staying at Joe and Bella's as long as they will ever have us! Thanks Joe and Bella!"
224979,10313310,2014-02-12,3682680,Karen,"The cottage was as described and very clean, in excellent condition.  The location is very convenient to downtown, restaurants, etc.  but also quiet.  And there is enough room to relax and hang out."
224979,10419433,2014-02-18,10703561,Scott,"Joe & Bella have a great place centrally located south of downtown.  Getting in and out of the property is easy and there are restaurants with in walking distance.  The unit itself was clean and well kept.  We would stay there again and would highly recommend staying at SoCo.

Scott "
224979,10571576,2014-02-25,5004213,Amelia,"This is a wonderful place to stay in Austin! Joe and Bella were very communicative through the whole process, the welcome packet is very clear, and the space itself is great! 

My husband and I stayed here while in Austin for a wedding and I couldn't have been happier. The cottage is quiet, private, clean, and  spacious for 2 people. It is literally minutes to drive downtown, and even faster to the middle of the SoCo area, which is awesome!! You get the benefits of staying near downtown, but it's still quiet enough to hear the birds. The dedicated parking space is awesome, and just down the block is Crow Bar, an awesome place for drinks. 

I would absolutely stay here again next time I'm in Austin! "
224979,10658674,2014-03-02,11187763,John,"Had wonderful stay with Joe and Bella. Everything was better than
We expected. So close to everything that we do on our visits. 1st street-Lamar Blvd- SOCO party spots and dinner choices. Great private parking and very secure areas. Will be our choice to stay on 
All of our return trips. You can not pick a better spot for your next stay. Johnny and Kelly
"
224979,10739655,2014-03-05,11077848,James,Thank you for the comfortable accommodations in Austin! Your attention to detail made sure we lacked nothing for the three days we stayed in a cottage. We definitely recommended you to our relatives there in Austin for their future visitors!
224979,10998133,2014-03-17,3935861,Kim Ove Olsen Og Marianne Cecilia Fruergaard,"A perfect hideaway - from the fuzz and buzz of SXSW. We enjoyed staying at Joes & Bella's. Every evening or night when we drove home from the crazy and in every way over loaded down down scenery- we felt a great relief and joy when 'checking in' at our little home away from home. We were sitting on the porch having our night cap, discussion the events of the day and finally we could lay our head on the very comfortable pillow in the very comfortable quality bed . It was like being an Austinites for a week.  The cottage is nicely decorated, very clean, and Bella & Joe are perfect hosts in every way. Thanks Bella, for great talks during the week and for your kindness. We will look forward to return which we hopefully will next year"
224979,11213605,2014-03-25,6589748,Mallory,"Joe and Bella were very professional hosts. The property was very clean and easy to find. We were able to book with ease and they responded in a timely manner. It was nice to have a fully equipped kitchen especially if you are staying for a while. The property was located in the perfect place. Just a few minutes away from downtown Austin and located right off South Congress. We had no problem checking in or out. The property was quiet so we were able to get a good nights rest every night. When we come back to Austin, we will definitely be staying at one of Joe and Bella's properties! Thanks!!"
224979,11269514,2014-03-27,12975030,Katy,My fiance and I had a wonderful time at the SoCo cottage. Very convenient location with lots of privacy. We will definitely be back on our next trip!
224979,11429167,2014-04-02,11931099,Rita,"The SoCo cottage was perfect in every way. It was just like the photos and very clean. We enjoyed our stay in Austin immensely. I would however, recommend a car as it was not really walking distance to the ""cool"" part of South Congress."
224979,11541945,2014-04-07,3021997,Lauren,"Joe & Bella's cottage is a little slice of Heaven in Texas. Stumbled upon the listing, contacted them and everything was smooth sailing afterwards. Once arriving in Austin, I called to confirm that we were in town. After talking to Bella, I wanted to sit on the cottage front porch and be friends. We unlocked the door to the cottage and were greeted with the scent of fresh laundry. I feel like the pictures don't do this place justice. It's so cozy and comfortable. Just the perfect space for the two of us. It truly felt like we were returning ""Home"" every night. I may be going overboard, but I truly can't say enough nice things about the hosts or their adorable cottage. "
224979,11828355,2014-04-16,11869707,Andrea,"Bella and Joe's cottage is quite simply a home away from home. We really enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. The area is beautiful and spot-on for relaxing after enjoying Austin's vibrant country music scene. The birdsong and quiet country-like environment allowed us to re-energise throughout our 10 day holiday which was very much needed! 

Bella was the most perfect and considerate Landlady and through her, we learned more about driving in the area and where to shop and eat out. This was such a help as our first day was exhausting flying in from the UK.

The cottage itself is very pretty and thoughtfully designed. It's perfect for those who like to cook on holiday, with al-fresco dining on the porch in the morning sunshine, my particular favourite. There's a lot of space to store clothes and baggage and the bathroom is a dream with a fabulous shower/bath and marble-topped sink area. I must mention, the bed is so comfy with a deep mattress and luxurious bedding for a good nights sleep. Much appreciated Bella!

We are already planning our next trip to Austin and this is the only place we want to stay. I hope there is availability when we're ready to book as the popularity of this cottage is already causing a stir!

See you soon Bella. Thanks for everything. xx"
224979,11928366,2014-04-19,13505624,Lisa,"My fiance and I had a great experience staying at Joe and Bella's. It's a gorgeous cottage nestled in a quiet yard, within a close walk or drive to tons of great Austin treats. Our hosts included lots of recommendations for near-by places to go and things to eat in their welcome packet, and boy were they spot on! If we ever return to Austin, we will definitely be staying at Joe and Bella's. "
224979,12120176,2014-04-23,833779,Helen,"Joe and Bella's cottage exceeded my expectations!  Their place was clean, comfortable and quiet, and most importantly very conveniently located to everything that Austin has to offer!  Joe and Bella were very responsive and gave very clear directions upon reservation - I had no trouble checking in or out - everything was seamless.  The cottage was also located close to the Austin International airport, which was great since I had a very early morning flight.  I will definitely stay again on my next trip to Austin.  Thanks Joe and Bella! "
224979,12272315,2014-04-28,10447937,Stephen,"Joe and Bella's cottage was just as described. It was perfectly quiet, very private and very spacious. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and will be looking to stay in one of Joe and Bella's cottages in the near future. Thanks for the great stay!"
224979,12653724,2014-05-07,1766996,Scott,"Second time staying here and it was great once again.

Clean, comfortable and friendly. No complaints.

Highly recommended."
224979,12908285,2014-05-13,10954418,Kenny,Great little cottage. Greatly enjoyed our stay. 
224979,13853531,2014-06-06,6048777,Gabrielle,"My friend and I stayed for three nights at the SoCo Cottage and we couldn't have picked a better spot. It was quiet and peaceful, exactly what we needed after hot days of biking around town. Everything was exactly as advertised (the fully stocked kitchen is a nice bonus!). We met Bella and she was delightful, respectful and very friendly. In terms of location, we loved that it was a bit removed from the commotion of downtown, yet close enough that SoCo, Barton Springs and Downtown were a short to medium-length bike ride away. By the way, we recommend East Side Pedal Pushers for all your bike rental needs; they were helpful, the bikes were great, and the price very affordable. I would love to stay at Joe & Bella's place again, thank you for having us!"
224979,13920099,2014-06-08,5761520,Collin,"We had a great stay. It was  easy to get in and out of the property, and the place was super clean, and quiet. We had zero issues. "
224979,14754771,2014-06-25,13326576,Arron,Great place and great location; we would definitely stay again. 
224979,15062944,2014-07-01,6802855,Mark,"Experience Austin the right way by staying here. It's clean, perfectly appointed and nestled quietly a few blocks between the Summer Moon coffee shop and the Crow Bar - your evening nightcap and morning java are taken care of. It's an easy 30 min walk to downtown or take a $12 taxi ride (but you'll miss great food truck opportunities). Would definitely stay here again. Great hosts. Great location. Great city."
224979,15495547,2014-07-10,259273,Jason,"We had a great time in Austin staying here. Place was quite clean, very nicely decorated and in a great location - convenient to bars and food. Joe and Bella were very nice and offered us some great advice about the area. This place is a nice little gem and we will definitely come again!

"
224979,15727511,2014-07-14,17108729,Raf,Place was awesome.
224979,16253097,2014-07-24,11187763,John,Had another great stay. Everything is just what you need for a great stay. Really clean cool and convenient. Full kitchen makes for a much cheaper trip.  It is always my first choice to stay in South Austin.
224979,16552234,2014-07-29,15942298,Amanda,"Our stay at joe and Bella's cottage was wonderful! We are so glad we decided to stay here. You cannot get a better value anywhere else. The location was perfect, it was clean and decorated tastefully. I never once  regretted our decision to stay here rather than a hotel. We will be back for sure!"
224979,16737434,2014-08-01,4363395,Casey,"Joe & Bella were amazing to work with, as usual!  The Cottage was perfect- a home away from home!  The property is perfectly maintained, super quiet and tranquil, and I always enjoy my stay!"
224979,16957266,2014-08-04,7364214,Michele,"This was a wonderful weekend getaway spot! Peaceful neighborhood, great location and close to everything, cozy and comfy cottage! Love all the finishes, and colors. Super clean, great A/C, and the most comfortable bedding. Front porch perfectly shaded by many trees. We highly recommend this location! (Also, we had the best brunch, on Sunday on the way out of town, at the 'Snack Bar', on Congress.)"
224979,17390448,2014-08-11,18946946,Max,"Apartment was clean, had everything we needed. Location is great, if you have a car. Had good meals right down South Congress. Check-in and check-out were easy. Overall, great stay!"
224979,18895128,2014-09-02,6971623,Daniella,"My boyfriend and I had never been to Austin and heard great things. We stayed in one of Joe and Bella's cottages because we heard the SoCo area was a must see and the price was jay right. Their welcome pack made the process easy breezy, with great local recommendations and easy to follow check in and check out instructions. We loved our stay! The cottage was clean, cozy and had just enough space for the two of us! The neighborhood was within a mile of all sorts of fun restaurants and sight seeing. Thanks again! "
224979,19337858,2014-09-10,90950,Aaron,"Everything was great!

We've stayed at several AirBNB places, and this was by far the smoothest experience. Bella & Joe have clear instructions and an easy check-in / check-out process. 

They were very responsive, and sent the check-in instructions far ahead of time.

We ran into Bella near the end of our stay and she was super nice!

The location itself is very nice, granite counter tops and nice furnishings. The bed was on the firm side (plus or minus for some people).  It was very quiet and a nice neighborhood."
224979,19637697,2014-09-15,4804243,Lauren,"Charming, quiet, and convenient. Joe and Bella have built two private cottages in their beautiful and well maintained backyard (if it weren't raining during our stay I would have been rolling around in the softest grass I have ever felt in my life). They left us foolproof instructions  detailing exactly how to navigate our way around the property and respected our privacy. Amy's Ice Cream (an Austin MUST) is within walking distance (right around the corner)!"
224979,20243718,2014-09-26,417604,Stephanie,We stayed at one cottage and our friends stayed at the other cottage. It was very convenient. The cottages had everything we needed during our stay. It was a short drive or uber to the hot spots of SoCo. Really nice! 
224979,20621463,2014-10-02,21334400,Alicia,This was a nice play to stay in Austin because it was an easy ride to and from downtown Austin. We didn't need a rental car and used Uber and the local bus to get around which was cheap and easy. We felt welcomed and the cottage fit our needs. The neighborhood was relatively quiet and that was nice to come home to. We had a very pleasant stay!
224979,20842510,2014-10-06,19195210,Ali,"Cozy cottage, well decorated, and very comfy. Great location as a homebase for ACL. Everything was very smooth, they provided detailed instructions and directions. Overall it was a great stay!"
224979,21293828,2014-10-14,21056972,Allison,Bella was awesome! The welcome letter clearly explained everything we needed to know about the cottage. It was a perfect location for attending the ACL festival close to SOCO and a one minute walk to the bus line. The cottage kitchen was great for our stay and everything was very clean. We loved sitting on the front porch in the morning! I would absolutely stay with Joe and Bella again! 
224979,22177651,2014-11-01,6576348,Marsha,"It was great to see Bella and Joe again.  They were super in being willing to help me with a car trunk issue I had!!  As always, the cottage was quiet which I really appreciated, the neighbors in the neighborhood were nice and my fellow airbnb'ers were very friendly.
I discovered the 801 Rapid which you pick up just across the street on Congress.  It runs every 10-15 minutes and you can get to SoCo or downtown quickly.
The new food cart behind Crow Bar (on Congress and Coleman) is BBQ, which I found to be tasty and inexpensive.
"
224979,22370377,2014-11-04,22308318,Russell,"The cottage was perfect for our needs.  Very detailed instructions from Joe and Bella on how to get in and what their expectations were.  Lot's of food and entertainment within walking distance.  This is our first trip to Austin without a car since the rental rates were so expensive for F1 weekend, but the centralized location of the cottage made it an easy weekend.  "
224979,22654308,2014-11-11,8958017,VyVy,"Joe & Bella Miller's cottage was fantastic and perfect for our stay! Bella was extremely accommodating and welcoming, and it was really helpful to have all the details and suggestions in their welcome packet. The cottage was very clean, smelled great, and exactly as pictured, and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. We rented a car and stayed here for 5 nights and it was really easy and fast commuting to downtown Austin, and was also nice to come back to the peaceful cottage after a long day. We are looking forward to visiting Austin and staying here again!"
224979,22895128,2014-11-17,10911582,Janna,"Joe/Bella's Cabin was PERFECT for our girls weekend. We had a little issue where an additional person decided to attend the weekend and they were very nice and helped us obtain another cabin so we all where close together. It was beyond perfect. The cabin was spotless and very comfortable. I slept like baby, the mattress was fantastic! You can't beat the location. We took $9 Uber rides to every destination we had planned. We will defiantly be visiting again."
224979,23081718,2014-11-22,8031991,Matt,"I had another great stay at the cottage.  Quiet, clean, and spacious. "
224979,23609253,2014-12-06,4363395,Casey,"Joe and Bella are the BEST hosts- they are always a text message away, and make my stays in Austin so much better than if I had to deal with the hotel hassles!  Thank you guys for always being so awesome!"
224979,23764286,2014-12-09,3359720,Roman,"This is our second time staying at Joe & Bella's, and as before, everything was perfect. Joe & Bella do a great job of decorating the space and making it comfortable. We had the little cottage this time - previously we had a different listing. The cottage was roomy and the location is very good. It's easy to get onto the highway when you need to, while downtown Austin is just a short drive up South Congress. Highly recommended."
224979,24240360,2014-12-23,4363395,Casey,"The cottage is the perfect rental!  The seating area really makes this feel like home, and the big closet is perfect for staying organized!  "
224979,25364142,2015-01-13,4363395,Casey,"The Cottage was warm and toasty, the perfect place to stay during the unexpected winter weather in Austin.  "
224979,25669849,2015-01-22,5256115,Teresa,This was the first time that I stayed in the Guest Cottage.  It was so charming and welcoming.  As usual Joe and Bella are great hosts and their properties more than meet my needs.  They are clean and well maintained.  I highly recommend any of the properties that Joe and Bella manage.
224979,25973972,2015-01-31,4363395,Casey,Cottage continues to be my home away from home!  
224979,26638190,2015-02-16,21787511,Michael,The guest cottage in Austin was really nice. It was nice to walk into a cozy space and feel at home. The neighborhood is a nice walking distance from local hotspots and downtown. Would recommend staying here and would stay here again!
224979,26830440,2015-02-20,4363395,Casey,My stay at the cottage was great as usual!
224979,28126504,2015-03-18,13394083,Audrianna,"The cottage was nice, clean, and comfortable. There were quite a few signs with rules posted around the cottage, such as what pillows to use and which ones not to use. The bed is comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. It's just over 2 miles to the city center (Downtown Austin) so I took a Lyft/Uber in and out each day. There are two cabins in the backyard and a few rental units in the house itself so lots of Airbnb guests. I didn't have the chance to meet Joe & Bella unfortunately. I did try to reach them to confirm my number of guests, but did not hear back. I think they were perhaps out of town due to SXSW. All in all, this was a great, relaxing place to stay!"
224979,28591617,2015-03-26,5256115,Teresa,As always my stay was problem free.  I recommend staying with Joe & Bella if you're in Austin.
224979,28810262,2015-03-30,13154985,David,"A great experience.  Nice little cabin-like apartment, with the inside as clean and well organized as a good hotel room space.  Not too far from downtown by car - wouldn't opt to walk to most of the South Congress stuff but that's just me.  I had a car.  Internet was great, and owner was super responsive and helpful with information.  Would stay again.  :)"
224979,29008659,2015-04-02,500976,Lara,"Our stay at Joe & Bella's was exactly as we expected. Clean, comfortable and close to metro stop."
224979,29211073,2015-04-05,2743048,Ron,Joe & Bella run a professional convenient and enjoyable B&B. Greaty location. Will continue to stay there when I need to visit Austin.
224979,29619736,2015-04-10,12294463,Monica,"Joe and Bella's cottage was perfect for our 6 day stay in Austin. It was clean, nicely decorated, modern, and up to date. The bathroom was also very nice. Check in and out was simple and easy. "
224979,30149707,2015-04-18,10387242,Mary,"Great location! Easy access to downtown Austin.  Quiet, clean, very close to South Congress shops and restaurants.  Cottage was as depicted.  Please note there is no stove or oven only a microwave and toaster."
224979,30332425,2015-04-20,25960853,Lee,The first thing that attracted us to Joe & Bella's Guest Cottage was location.  We love Austin and wanted to be close to SoCo and downtown.  This cottage definitely delivered and in comfort!  A/C worked great and the bed was super comfy.  We knew that it was located inside a backyard area along with two other cottages but were a little disappointed that they were so close to each other.  The location and comfort & style made that easier to deal with though.   Bella was always quick to respond and made it her business to take care of us.  This residence will stay in our list for future trips to Austin!
224979,30932902,2015-04-29,29169113,Noreen,"The listing was very accurate, the cottage is beautifully decorated. Very private and quiet. We enjoyed our stay and actually had supper on the porch our first evening. The recommendations for eateries led us to a wonderful Cuban restaurant just in walking distance. The cottage is within easy driving distance to all the entertainment districts. We really enjoyed our stay."
224979,31920387,2015-05-11,3267692,Lauren,"Another FANTASTIC stay with Joe & Bella!

This place is just going to have to become our home away from home. We absolutely love staying here and Joe & Bella are the best hosts you could ask for. Everything is so clean, and the location couldn't be better. It's close to the freeway, but right around the corner from Congress or 1st st.

We now plan our trips to Austin around the availability of this cottage. It wouldn't be an Austin trip without this place.

Thank you so much Joe & Bella!"
224979,33143049,2015-05-25,7896366,Kayla,"Very cute little studio was perfect for our stay. The place was clean and looked better than the photos showed it. All the checkin information was clear and helpful and made our entrance and exit smooth. Bedding was super comfortable and they have even put a small ironing board and iron in the closet for guests to use, thank you very much!!"
224979,33863268,2015-06-01,33787800,Rodica,"Cozy and nice, quiet place. Tastefully decorated 
Host was very attentive and and responded promptly when needed"
224979,35150607,2015-06-15,432201,Adeline,"The guest cottage was exactly as described, clean, comfortable and in a great location in terms of proximity to all things most visitors would want to do in Austin. Just south of the busy part of South Congress, the cottage was tucked away on a quiet street. It was really nice being able to take a quick drive down to busy parts of of Austin but still having a quiet retreat to return to. "
224979,35887127,2015-06-22,28229536,Rebecca,Very comfortable and cute cottage! Hosts left very thorough instructions for their place beforehand so we had no questions. Very conveniently located near south congress. Bars and restaurants are within walking distance. 
224979,45711473,2015-09-05,4363395,Casey,"As always, Joe and Bella are the perfect hosts!  The cottage is so welcoming- great bed and bedding, a perfect little living room area, a kitchenette, and a spa bath!  Home away from home!"
224979,46321867,2015-09-09,1191783,Nancy,"The cottage is in the backyard along with another cottage next to it. The pictures you see in the listing are a very accurate portrayal of the actual guest cottage. It was cozy and perfect for 2 people. We had everything we needed: TV with cable, iron/ironing board, fridge, microwave, towels, hair dryer, and an icy cold AC unit! Joe and Bella make sure to be very thorough with all the instructions and ensure that we are aware and adhere to the house rules. It made checking in a breeze because all the instructions were in the welcome packet and we never had to contact the host during our stay. It also allowed us to have lots of privacy. But housekeeping was also there on (website hidden) 11am, ready to start work, as we were walking out of the cottage to checkout. 

It's very conveniently located to most of Austin's attractions so you can Über to most places. But we had a car rental and the assigned parking spot was a great perk! Definitely recommend and would stay again. "
224979,50458327,2015-10-12,29997753,Jillian,"We had a great stay at Joe and Bella's cottage!  The location is absolutely perfect...in a quiet neighborhood right off of South Congress, so close and easy to get to everything, but so restful and peaceful!  The cottage is lovely, comfortable, and beautifully decorated.  It looks exactly as pictured; plenty of room to spread out and make yourself at home. Joe and Bella were very responsive, helpful,  and accommodating. We would love to stay there again!"

I was also given some good suggestions of places to eat and things to see while in Austin. Overall, Erica was VERY helpful and I would certainly stay with her again."
4614517,29401022,2015-04-07,17932731,Amanda,"I stayed with Erica for a month in between a transition from Boston to Austin. She is so sweet and proved to be a perfect host. She always had great recommendations on Austin's best places to eat, drink and visit (and was game to give them a go too). 

The apartment is awesome as well. Stylish, clean, and comfortable... I felt right at home. The neighborhood is cozy, but near everything you'd need. Close to South Lamar, Barton Springs, Zilker Park, and there is a bus stop right across the street that goes into Downtown. 

I would definitely stay with Erica again!"
4614517,29923676,2015-04-14,28285285,Stephanie,"My experience at Erica's was beyond what I expected. I felt so comfortable and so ""at home"" that I sometimes forgot she and I had only just met!  Everything that she advertised was exactly as it appeared, plus a great friendship!  Erica helped me in every way possible and made my stay incredibly easy. I can't wait to move to Austin and continue my friendship with her and Numi (her adorable cat)! I would recommend staying with her to anyone who wants to have a true Austin experience. "
4614517,30256813,2015-04-19,31106988,Susan,Erica made us feel very welcomed.  She even went out of her way to look up the distance of my workshop from her condo.  That was helpful.
4614517,31059874,2015-05-01,30880397,Erin,"Loved staying with Erica and her cat, Numi! The place was just as advertised- just as clean and cozy as it looks in the pictures. The location was great as well, just off South Lamar near tons of great places to eat.

One little tip- even if you don't bring a car, grab the gate opener if you're going to be out late so you don't get locked out of the complex! "
4614517,31977928,2015-05-12,31422932,Charlotte,We unfortunately didn't cross paths with Erica but she was so helpful and accommodating via texts and messages. Her place was really bright and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend booking with her. Thanks again!! 
4614517,34323351,2015-06-07,20680433,Danielle,"Great location, great host and a great city! 
Condo is very close to bus stops which are only a short ride into downtown and town lake. Walkable to many good places to eat and drink. Erica is very friendly and approachable and allows you to feel comfortable and at home in her apartment. "
4614517,35019648,2015-06-14,6314026,Geneliz,"Erica was very nice and accommodating. I didn’t meet her until right before I checked out but the whole time she communicated to me over the phone. Even though she wasn’t home to check us in, the whole process went smoothly.

The house is very tidy and the room is clean. Erica provided us new sheets and towels and there’s really nothing to complain about. The room is not that big, just enough for two people, but it was comfy. Her place is located in a quiet neighborhood next to a fun street – South Lamar. There’s a lot of foodie opinions along South Lamar but make sure to try the Papalote Tacos nearby for some breakfast tacos! You can even walk there!
"
4614517,37479993,2015-07-07,34016941,Peter,Erica was a great host. We had an awesome stay in this great location. Would definitely stay again. 
4614517,46196020,2015-09-08,10582243,Clint,"Erica was great
Down to earth and made me feel so at home
Played a game of tennis with her which was fun
She had a list of good places to go
The apartment was clean and had a real cosy feel to it
Amazing kitchen and crockery
Awesome"
4614517,48883042,2015-09-29,39880305,Simon,"Erick has a really nice home just off South Lamar Boulevard, so near heaps of great places to eat and drink; just walk north and you'll pass dozens of them! Near buses or a quick Uber if you need to get to places like Uptown. Austin is a great town and I'd recommend this place!"
4614517,49970204,2015-10-08,32709376,Thomas,Erica was an amazing host. We stayed at the condo during our trip to Austin for ACL. She made us feel extremely welcomed from the moment we arrived in Austin to when we left. The condo is near a lot of restaurant/bar/coffee shops and is right next to a bus stop that takes you into Downtown and other parts of Austin. I would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Austin.
4614517,50267069,2015-10-11,26795450,J,Erica was an excellent host. 
509833,1728068,2012-07-16,1195918,Denmark,"My family (mom, brother and sister) and I came to visit Austin for the weekend without booking a hotel or a place to stay  since I dislike the hotel experience--we looked for places to stay during our Friday lunch when we had arrived. We got super lucky with Amanda--she responded very quickly and was able to sort us out within a few hours (she had the home cleaned and turned over within 2-3 hours after the other visitors left). We will definitely come back and stay here again! Thanks Amanda! - Denmark"
509833,1904227,2012-08-06,568330,Paul,"Amanda's place is awesome. The home is laid out well, the decorations are great and location is perfect. If you're heading to Austin, you should definitely check this place out!"
509833,3724477,2013-03-08,1589919,Joelle,"To say that the home is clean, beautiful, and elegant would be a huge understatement. The clawfoot tub in the bathroom is relaxing and was the perfect way to finish off a busy Austin day. The bed was comfortable and all of the amenities worked just as they should. Jim, the homeowner greeted me during my first day and was helpful and kind, making sure I had everything I needed for my stay. I would highly recommend a stay here, and if you're curious, yes you can walk to downtown from here, but the hills can be intense... a cab ride (not during SXSW) runs about $8 to downtown. "
509833,3770704,2013-03-13,1871019,Patrick,I was very impressed with the house. It's very clean and laid out well. We had no issues with the place whatsoever. Only issue was that it's about a mile walk to downtown but taxis could easily pick us up. We'll try to stay here again the next time we're in Austin.
509833,4456258,2013-05-06,2106935,Tina,Stayed at Amanda's home in May to move my son out of his dorm at UT!  LOVED our stay!   It is VERY spacious and clean. The bed upstairs is super comfortable and the pull-out sofa in the living room was as well. I believe it's the best mattress I've seen on a pull-out (looks brand new).  The decks are awesome and the parking was so convenient.  We also loved the location and will definitely be back!  (The only recommendation is to add a full length wall mirror or a larger mirror somewhere for getting ready).  But not a deal breaker! :) Thanks Amanda!
509833,7935216,2013-10-08,4979365,Kerry,"We had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful, clean and very welcoming. It was certainly spacious enough for 4 of us to stay comfortably. The beds and linen were lovely and comfortable. 

We enjoyed being able to cook breakfast and hang out before heading to ACL! It's well equipped with everything you need. The decks are also great to sit on in the evening. 

Walking distance from coffee shops and Wholefoods, and walking distance to ACL (if you have ~30 mins to spare!), otherwise there are tons of pedi-cabs and cabs at reasonable prices. Probably best for the return journey!

Everyone we met was pleasant and welcoming. Overall, it's a fantastic place and location - we'd definitely stay again! 

Thanks, Amanda!"
509833,8652623,2013-11-11,8261662,Thomas,This place was very nice. Very accessible area. We had a great time
509833,10936072,2014-03-14,218613,Dane,"This was a great place in a great area, close to everything and Amanda was an amazing host. "
509833,10999336,2014-03-17,3179916,Ashley,"Thank you for sharing your lovely home with my two friends and me.  Our visit to Austin and SXSW was made even more enjoyable with these accommodations.  The house is well represented by the photos-- simple design, clean, well maintained!  We especially liked the location which is in a cute neighborhood and an easy stroll to the downtown area.  I would stay here again!  "
509833,11174298,2014-03-24,1632740,Todd,Wonderful stay.  Amanda was very responsive and helpful.
509833,11401317,2014-04-01,4282415,Tony,The house is beautiful and has a lot of sun light and charm.  There's a nice cafe and bakery two blocks away and lots of walkable restaurants.  We bumped into the owners and they were super nice including Amanda.  So nice that I forgot my laptop and Amanda helped ship it back to me within the hour I told her what happened.  
509833,13687770,2014-06-02,1224813,Cam,"This was a very lovely home in an amazing, central local.  Walk or bike downtown easily.  Very clean and well appointed.  Highly recommended. "
509833,13908480,2014-06-08,68342,Aaron,Great host all around.  We could have not felt more comfortable.  Thanks Amanda!
509833,15388968,2014-07-08,12623509,Ronald,"Amanda was a most gracious host, she stopped by the day after we arrived to say hello, gave some great recommendations on places to eat and assured us if there was anything we needed to please call her.  The home was gorgeous and comfortable, we loved the fact that there was a full kitchen though we ate out so much we didn't use it much!  Beautiful area, we'll definitely be back!"
509833,16431945,2014-07-27,616927,Joe,"Amazing house, location, everything.  Will definitely stay here again!"
509833,17339838,2014-08-11,11333475,Warren,The house was wonderful. The location enabled us to revisit all our favorite places in town. 
509833,20810703,2014-10-06,14658751,Elizabeth,We loved our stay in Austin. We had so much fun and the home was perfect for our trip. It was clean and big enough for 4 of us. It was just a quick bike ride to the downtown Austin area and to Zilker Park and the house is on such a nice quiet street in a cute neighborhood. Amanda was always so quick to respond to emails and very accommodating when we wanted to extend our stay. 
509833,22392871,2014-11-05,805414,Daniel,"The Nelson House was exactly as pictured and described in the listing. It worked very well for 4 people over our week-long stay. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, appliances, and utensils, and I appreciated the included tea and coffee selections. The living spaces were cozy, and the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The key code entry was great to avoid issues with key sharing (and made checking-in a breeze), and having access to laundry equipment was a nice plus. Though I never met Amanda in-person, she was very responsive and accommodating in all of our communications. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "
509833,22646224,2014-11-11,1728195,Pedro,"Foi uma experiência incrível. A casa é linda, bem cuidada e com uma decoração aconchegante. A localização é excelente, num lugar tranquilo da cidade e ao mesmo tempo central. Recomendo a todos. Valeu muito a pena! :)"
509833,32243147,2015-05-16,2512154,Debra,"This lovely, clean, and well-cared-for house is in our favorite neighborhood in Austin, and our family of 3 was very comfortable. It is in a great location for walking and for accessing numerous wonderful restaurants and shops. I've never been in a better place when visiting Austin!"
509833,32958546,2015-05-24,26561022,Betsy,"Our stay was utterly wonderful at the Nelson House. Comfortable,  beautiful, welcoming. It could not have been more lovely. The location was perfect...the neighborhood perfect for walks and so close to downtown. We could not have been happier. Thanks to all."
509833,36540104,2015-06-29,6638889,Viktor,"We had a great stay. The house was perfect for us with a good location, possibility to cook and enough space."
509833,49434559,2015-10-04,7760994,Dana,"A few of us stayed for acl and this place was perfect. The house was very clean and had such great Austin charm. The neighborhood was a bit of a walk from popular places but walking is good for you right? I would definitely stay here again. The communication with the host wasn't the greatest as I had a few questions approaching our visit and never heard back twice. In summary, if you want a nice clean and quiet house I would recommend. "
509833,52730909,2015-11-01,8050596,Lionel,"We had a great week-end in Austin at this house! Very nice location: 10-min walk to the heart of downtown, yet in a quiet and lovely neighborhood (next to Don's Depot). The house was clean and large enough for two couples. Amanda was very responsive and really easy to deal this. Highly recommended!
 "
4751960,28140077,2015-03-18,4624162,Florian,"Everthing was great, although I was confused by the google earth view of the area (some pretty old pictures). It is a really short ride to the city center. I had a rental car it took me 5-10 minutes depending on the traffic. Nothing to complain beside SXSW ended way to soon ;)"
1317291,6798979,2013-08-25,5790156,Kitty/Sandy,"Perfect place and host. Jacob, Maria and Rose were all very attentive and accommodating. The house was spacious and well equipped and there was heaps of local insider information provided. Would definitely recommend. Thanks again!"
1317291,7029598,2013-09-03,7358652,Etienne,"Jacob and his wife were great hosts. They go out of you way to help their guests. Their apartment is also a nice place to stay. 
Thank you for everything!"
1317291,7101327,2013-09-06,2880802,Chance,"Me, my boyfriend and our friends who are a couple all stayed in this awesome second floor apartment. Jacob and his wife were super friendly and helpful and we loved their pugs that were always wondering around the yard! Super clean and had everything we needed. There were tons of places close by to eat and hang out. We all highly recommend staying here!"
1317291,7336844,2013-09-16,6726758,Jordan,I was in ATX with my boyfriend and two of our friends for the weekend and this was perfect for all of us.  You can tell that the place was recently renovated and well taken care of.  Jake was a great host and I'd absolutely stay here again and recommend it to my friends visiting.
1317291,7718005,2013-09-30,8872029,Rebecca,"I came to Austin for a weekend trip with a good friend, and Jacob and his wife were fantastic hosts. We arrived late on the first night and had some trouble with the lock (our fault), and he was very responsive, coming up to our apartment in only a few minutes to help us figure out the door. We also got an extensive list of places to eat and things to do during our stay - unfortunately, we didn't get to all of them because we had a pretty late start every morning - hard to leave when the apartment is so cozy, clean, and well air-conditioned! Thanks for a great weekend, Jacob."
1317291,7975105,2013-10-10,5125144,Estela,"Thank you Jacob and Maria!
We love the locale of Jacob and Maria's place! 
Great proximity to the walking trail and view of the sunset over the lake! And to restaurants...(Counter Culture is new fav vegetarian place) loved all the decorator touches and the plethora of Visitor info!(great for us newcomers to Austin)
We appreciated their warm and hospitable spirit! 
(Thanks especially for helping me retrieve my 'left behinds')"
1317291,8029916,2013-10-13,976382,Lauren,"Jacob's place was absolutely fantastic. It was clean and comfortable, and we really appreciated the helpful notes he left us. Also it was great getting to explore East Austin -- a lovely neighborhood."
1317291,8118378,2013-10-16,8936862,Christine,"A few girlfriends and I stayed here for our first trip to Austin and had a great time. Jacob and his wife were wonderful hosts. He sent a text the day of our check-in to confirm everything was in place. When we arrived, he came out to greet us and make sure we were ok. The place was cozy, clean and well-kept. Air-conditioning was a must especially with the humid weather. The pugs were absolutely adorable and their door was always literally open when they were home, which just shows how friendly they are. They were also very easy-going and flexible--we had forgotten about when the check-out time was and stayed later than the usual but they didn't give us a hard time about that at all. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!"
1317291,8538826,2013-11-04,1233198,Larry,"This is an excellent apartment in a great neighborhood.  The apartment itself was bigger than I expected, shower was excellent and it has a full kitchen.  Neighborhood was interesting with a BBQ restaurant across the street, some food trucks near by.  It's a very convenient location. If you bring or rent a bike you can get downtown in 15 minutes.  You can walk to Saltillo Plaza in about 15 minutes for music and more food trucks.  2 minute ride from the bike path along the river.  Would stay here again when coming back to the area."
1317291,8724191,2013-11-13,9861029,Eleonor,"Our stay at Jacob's and Maria's apartment was great. Check-in was at 4 pm, but the place was ready earlier, so they contacted me and I was able to check in early. This was very convenient for us. The apartment was clean and neat. Everything worked perfectly. I liked the neighborhood and felt safe at night. Jacob and Maria were very nice and they have and adorable dog. I definitely recommend this place, and I will stay here again next time we visit Austin.  "
1317291,9070733,2013-12-04,451372,Myla,"Very smooth experience, and excellent apartment for 1-3 people. I was informed well in advance, how to access the apartment. Had no trouble making ourselves comfortable. The apartment was clean, modern, comfortable bed, good location, and easy parking.  On top of that, I was pleasantly surprised to find plenty of kitchenware, great bathroom essentials, and extra bedding. Really can't ask for anything more. Thanks! Will DEFINITELY stay here next time I'm in Austin."
1317291,9185849,2013-12-11,2362965,Weena,Jacob has a personal assistant to take care of all the loose ends and there was a lock that allowed us to get in late when flying in on a late flight.  We were able to check out an hour later too.  The place is very clean and easy to use the bus to get into downtown or walk a mile to 6th street.  We enjoyed our stay at Jacob's in Austin!
1317291,9301049,2013-12-19,10244651,Olivia,"Jacob was a good host, very accommodating and easily contactable. The place was spacious and clean and the location was good. Just a 10-15 minute bus ride to downtown. Great information was provided on cafes, bars, restaurants etc nearby. I would happily stay again and recommend Jacob as a host."
1317291,9445277,2013-12-29,9071765,JoAn,"We celebrated Christmas at Jacob's - it worked out perfectly for us.  Were able to cook dinners, come and go - Jacob wasn't much around, but made a point to be sure all was ready...and, did see him often on the River Trail :-}  not a hitch in the week, just fun times!  Thanks so much!!  Highly recommend for location, cleanliness, full-service living and very kind and accommodating, friendly host.
"
1317291,9607665,2014-01-03,3620333,Dayna,"Staying in Jacob's apartment was wonderful! Loved the location, which was quiet but close to a number of bars and restaurants. The apartment itself was clean, well-equipped and very comfortable. Jacob made sure to check-in beforehand and see that we had all the information we needed. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Austin."
1317291,9778274,2014-01-09,798328,Ben,"I had a wonderful stay at this spacious & clean one bedroom apartment. Jacob left lots of information about Austin, and I felt very welcome. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin."
1317291,10036418,2014-01-27,425885,Carolyn And Charles,"A great space, full of light on all sides.  Good heating system- we were there in January.  A recent renovation, so double pane windows and a new, fresh interior.  Quiet neighborhood, with sweet neighbors who are polite but keep to themselves.  Off street parking!   Cenote Coffee Shop a short drive west on Cesar Chavez (East 1st St.).  Lots of colorful authentic Mexican restaurants in the area.  Easy access to H-E-B, downtown, Town Lake, and I-35.  Rose was very helpful!  Of course we'd come again! "
1317291,10140208,2014-02-02,7069694,Allen,"The place had everything we needed (we didn't need laundry). Wifi was fast, everything was clean, nice towels and soaps in bathroom, guidebooks about Austin and even some novels left out for us. It's hard to get a reading on the neighborhood initially, but I felt pretty safe being on the second story with a keycode entry lock. It also felt secluded because it's set back from the road and has a huge private parking area on the property. If you're driving, the location is great because Austin is quick to get around. If you're not driving, it's still very reasonably close to cool coffee shops, stores, and the food/bars of 6th street. Overall a nice value, would stay again."
1317291,10240822,2014-02-08,10975561,Kiyomi,"Such delightful hosts! And their assistant Rose was great at helping us settle in. The apartment is conveniently located, cosy and has everything you need for a pleasant stay. A plus: two local favorites are right around the corner, Juice Land (a deliciously eclectic juice bar) and Juan In A Million (a Tex-Mex restaurant with arguably the best breakfast tacos, mmm). Would gladly stay here again!"
1317291,10327699,2014-02-13,2078023,Martin,This is one of the best values in Austin!   Jacob is on top of things.   I'll be back.
1317291,10386263,2014-02-17,4286271,Baris Can,We stayed at Jacob's place with our friends when we were there for a conference. All we have is positive experiences with Jacob's house. I can't forget his cute 2 dogs :)
1317291,10487904,2014-02-21,6074644,Jenna,"We loved staying at Jacob's place in East Austin.  The flat felt just like home: clean, comfortable, and full of all the guidebooks, maps, and amenities to make the most of our trip!  I can't say enough about Rose, who manages the property -- she was so responsive and had many great recommendations for us throughout our stay."
1317291,10594225,2014-02-26,10848227,Eli,"My stay at Jacob's flat was great! The space was awesome, with a kitchen fully prepared for cooking, sun-filled living room and bed room. Had tons of privacy, but Jacob was also available to tell us about the best of Austin. Felt really welcomed, really at home. Highly
recommend!"
1317291,10744766,2014-03-05,11938362,Aly,"This was our first trip to Austin and our first airbnb experience, so we weren't sure what to anticipate. We chose this one because of the great reviews and because we would have our own flat to ourselves with parking.

Jacob's assistant Rose was very helpful in answering any questions (promptly) that we had about the place, or what there was to do around it. So you know, there is an H-E-B store a few blocks over on 7th that has everything you'd need if you want to stock the kitchen while you are there.

There is a medium size flatscreen TV that we plugged our cromecast into and watch Netflix when we needed some downtime and a comfortable couch to sit on. The kitchen had a frying pan, a few pots, coffee machine, coffee, fridge, microwave, stove, cutting boards/utensils/knives/etc. The bed was a queen, very comfy, and had an iron and ironing board in the spacious closet. 

The bathroom has a full tub/shower combo, fresh towels, hair dryer, and shampoo/conditioner/soap for us to use.

You really only need to bring yourself and your clothes!"
1317291,10917594,2014-03-13,1529274,Sue,"I booked Jacob's flat for a colleague attending SXSW. The communication was amazing - professional, swift and friendly.

My colleague really enjoyed staying in the flat - it's a lovely part of town. Thanks very much for your assistance guys!"
1317291,11221949,2014-03-25,12423170,Natalie,"I'm so happy I booked Jacob's flat for my first trip to Austin. The place was nice and clean with enough room to fit four people comfortably. We all enjoyed the location and the hosts were wonderful with a lot of suggestions of places to see. We had plenty of privacy but the hosts were just a phone call away if we needed anything! Jacob and his wife also provided us with bikes to get around town and they worked with our flights with flexible check-ins and outs. Overall, this is a great deal and I would definitely book again."
1317291,11399741,2014-04-01,3086509,Michael,"Such wonderful hosts!  Their 1 bedroom apartment was an amazing place to explore all all the wonderful areas of town.  They were kind enough to leave us 2 personal bikes to use during our stay, since we weren't renting a car.  Bikes are the BEST way to explore Austin, with all the bike lanes and riverfront trails.  The apartment was VERY clean and they had left maps and brochures out for any info we needed.  An up-and-coming area, I absolutely LOVED Juiceland 1 block away for morning smoothies & juices before heading out to explore.   "
1317291,11593666,2014-04-08,3661041,Richard,"Jake's place is really comfortable and nicely kitted out. Parking is so easy once you recognise the entrance! The apartment is about 20 minutes' walk into the Red River area, but in 10 minutes you can be in amongst the Eastside bars and venues, which we much preferred. Jake's a really helpful and personable guy, all the instructions he left were perfect, and you really could just turn up, enjoy your stay, and leave, without any need for outside involvement, but if you need some help or advice, Jake's there. So all in all, a great rental."
1317291,11673566,2014-04-11,13859072,Pete,"Jacob was an excellent host! The flat was exactly as advertised. It was clean, in great condition and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond to suggest activities and places to go. I don't think I could have had a better experience.
The flat is in a great location and there were plenty of great bars and restaurants within walking distance. I would highly suggest this flat for your trip to Austin."
1317291,12614250,2014-05-06,12992082,David,"Jacob, Maria and the flat were just terrific. The flat is very comfortable and well-appointed, incredibly conveniently located to nightlife, airport, expressway and more. Highest recommendation!"
1317291,12893484,2014-05-13,2257906,Gabe,This was our first Airbnb and it exceeded expectations and was great. We arrived to find the apartment clean and the A/C set perfectly at 75 degrees. The bed was comfortable and the house super quiet and nice to rest at. It's not far from the hike 'n bike trail which we used both by biking and by foot to get around town. Also it's close to East 6th St. which has a ton of hip bars and restaurants.
1317291,13262483,2014-05-23,13837809,Ellice,"So easy to deal with, lots of great tips for around town too!! Apartment was perfect and the location was excellent. Lovely vibe. Highly recommend.
"
1317291,13370686,2014-05-26,3739509,Travis,"Very nice stay! Great location, quiet street, plenty of parking. Check in and out was easy. Jacob was friendly and helpful. Would stay here again."
1317291,13509795,2014-05-29,14376869,Gretchen,"My husband, two 4 year old boys and I stayed at the Morrows flat and enjoyed every minute of it.  The space was open, comfortable and had everything we needed.  The best part was that Jacob and Rose, his assistant, were super communicative from the minute I contacted them...they made me feel welcome and comfortable with renting his flat!  Thank you for everything!  "
1317291,13860944,2014-06-06,12538786,Trevor,"Jacob was a more than an accommodating host and his East Austin flat was perfect. There were a lot of little nice details I could tell he paid attention to. Overall it made for a great traveling experience. And if you're in that part of town, you'll have to try a nearby taco truck called Veracruz All Natural - super delicious. If East Austin is the part of town you want to be, this is the place to stay."
1317291,14353356,2014-06-17,15066383,Lindsay,"Had a great stay at this little spot in east Austin! It was clean, quiet as it's set back from the road, the keyless lock took away the fear of losing keys. It's a little bit away from the centre of things; I would suggest renting a car or bike if you don't feel like walking through a neighbourhood that's still up and coming, but it's close to my favourite food trailer (Veracruz All Natural) so I was completely okay with it! I would definitely stay again!"
1317291,14566781,2014-06-22,15770839,Sara,Great stay! Very clean and such a great space! Also perfect location! 
1317291,14880419,2014-06-28,16714703,Shannon,"Me, my husband and our two older kids stayed here for a week. We found it to be a GREAT place to stay, Jake the owner was very nice and super helpful. He told use about lots of things to do in the local area and had maps and brochures in the unit. There is plenty of parking off of the street. All appliances were in the unit so we didn't have to eat out every day. We would definitely stay here again."
1317291,15099454,2014-07-02,15535505,Kelsey,"Great place to stay, and sooooo close to downtown. Thanks so much, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
1317291,15776192,2014-07-15,3940146,Lee,"A truly easy transaction and incredibly comfortable stay. Me, the husband, and our 16-month-old toddler were very happy with our temporary home-away-from home. Jacob was very good at communication and super flexible with our ""ahhhhhh! We are traveling with a toddler!!"" ways. He was also very accommodating when we learned our flight was abruptly rescheduled two days later than our projected check-out. I will recommend his abode to future Austin visitors with enthusiasm. "
1317291,16403387,2014-07-27,15742493,Katrina,"The apartment was exactly as pictured/described and was perfect for our trip to Austin! Off-street parking was appreciated, central A/C even more appreciated, the bed was super comfortable and everything we might have wanted was on hand. The building was far enough off of the street to be very quiet, even with buses going by. If you're not good with Texas summer heat it's a bit far to walk into downtown (~30-40 min), but with a car it's in a very convenient location between the airport and the rest of the city. The surrounding neighbourhood is full of neat stuff to explore too, and amazing tacos are very close by. We only met Jacob and Maria briefly, but they were very friendly, good with communicating, and gave tons of excellent recommendations (Rose was great via email also!)  Would stay again!"
1317291,16639002,2014-07-30,18648198,Amanda,"The place was in a great location, and had everything that we needed.  A short walk to a splendid juice place, which was a nice bonus.  My friend and I stayed in the apartment for 3 days, and we felt very at home.  The neighborhood was very quaint and charming, and Jacob and his wife were very welcoming yet hands off, which was great.  We had everything we needed, and the AC unit worked wonderfully on those hot Austin days.  I would definitely contact Jacob again in the future if I needed a short-term place to stay.  "
1317291,17939246,2014-08-19,17114774,Jordan,"Everyone was excellent. They were very accommodating, answering questions we had and making suggestions. A public transportation guide was left on the coffee table, which helped immensely. We felt very, very welcome, and very comfortable. We had a lovely weeks stay in Austin. The listing was accurate, everything was spot-on. The neighborhood was great. There was a cool BBQ joint down the road, nearby food trucks, tacos, bars, you name it. Very enjoyable area."
1317291,18473313,2014-08-27,10701436,Mike,"Jacob's apartment is very nice -- very clean with a private entrance. The entire suite was nice; it seemed like a little ""home away from home"". And Jacob was very accomodating. 

Plus, the apartment is located nearby the airport and sits on a bus line only $1 to downtown. The stop is right out front!"
1317291,18791591,2014-09-01,13674615,Summer,We had a great experience staying here. It was decorated really cute and clean. It was in a perfect location really close to downtown. There was plenty of parking. It was a great place and I would definitely recommend it!
1317291,19330602,2014-09-10,20115902,Kathleen,"This was the perfect place to stay while we visited our family in Austin.  Clean, quiet, close to town...both sides....and plenty of free parking.   Host provided plenty of linens & offered more.  Couldn't have been happier."
1317291,19831438,2014-09-19,3094690,Lino,"La casa è molto carina e l'ospite è stato efficiente e disponibile.
Il quartiere è buono, facilmente raggiungibile, vicino al downtown"
1317291,20437641,2014-09-29,13965215,Carol,"We loved Jacob and Maria's place. The apartment was perfect as was the location. The apartment was tastefully decorated, very clean and so much better than a hotel room. we would definitely recommend it and would stay there again when we visit Austin."
1317291,20693141,2014-10-04,10624670,Joy,"We had a bit of a rough start, but Jacob responded immediately and made everything right.  The place was clean and the pictures of it are accurate.  I would consider staying there  again when in Austin.  Thanks Jacob!"
1317291,21276392,2014-10-14,15835865,Justin,"Great location - Jacob was there to meet us upon our arrival, and the flat was totally adequate as a jumping off point for our fun ACL weekend. It has everything you need! Perfect for checking out the East side. Be sure to check out Live Oak BBQ down the block - it's the real deal."
1317291,21698838,2014-10-22,17087778,Rebecca,We had a wonderful stay at Jacob's flat.  The flat was clean and very comfortable.  It's a great location with a bus stop just down the street to get downtown in 10 minutes.  Could not have asked for a better experience! 
1317291,22205587,2014-11-01,19918830,Tiffany,"I really enjoyed my stay. I was in town on business but I think this would be a great staycation spot if you're coming in from the suburbs for the night. Clean, private place with off-street parking in a quiet neighborhood. The bed and pillows are fresh and comfy. Black-out curtains are a nice touch and coffee is provided. Everything you need to know about Austin is provided in brochures and maps on the coffee table. Loved the Britta pitcher in the fridge too. Book with confidence!"
1317291,22352802,2014-11-04,334975,Steven,"Jacob was an extremely hospitable host! He checked with us whenever we passed each other to make sure everything was perfect. The unit was very well furnished and clean. It was located a couple minutes' drive from lively areas of downtown, but was in a quiet neighborhood with ample parking. My wife and I had a great visit and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if/when we're in town!"
1317291,22544183,2014-11-09,22764288,Cori,"the pictures were accurate, the place was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood was quiet. the bed was super comfortable, and it was great to have off-street parking! jacob's instructions were clear and helpful, and he had great suggestions for austin activities. i would definitely refer this space to a friend, or book this place again if i returned to austin!"
1317291,23109986,2014-11-23,16386454,Carl,"Great space, great location, great hosts. I travel to Austin quite often and this was definitely one of my favorite places to stay. The neighborhood is quiet but still close to everything the East Side has to offer (or downtown too if you catch the bus that runs right down the street). There are a lot of great places within walking distance to grab something to eat or drink, but if you want to try some of the best tacos ever, head over to Tacos Guerrero just a couple blocks away. Amazing! "
1317291,23329554,2014-11-29,78804,Phoebe,I enjoyed my stay at Jacob's east Austin flat.  The neighborhood was great for me as it was just around the corner from my friends house.   The furnishings were adequate.  I was comfortable.  I never met Jacob.  There was a system of Lock boxes to get the keys.  This was all fine with me.  He was good at responding to my emails.  It was an easy check in and check out.  He also went the extra length to send me my phone charger that I had left behind.  I had a nice time.
1317291,23509479,2014-12-02,18160342,Kevin,Everything was great and clean jacob was very informative and helpful i have no complaints what so ever
1317291,23794293,2014-12-10,23791529,Sandra,Jacob made us  feel welcome and was available by phone and email when we needed him.  We did not have a car so the bus was important to us and it was a few minute walk to the stop and we went all over austin.  The neighborhood is delightful and quiet.  There is a good BBQ place down the street and Juice Land is a 5 minute walk.  The area was safe.  The flat had everything we needed and we would (and will) go back to Jacob's place.
1317291,24051279,2014-12-18,23431381,Nicole,"My mom, fiance, and I stayed at Jacob and Maria's for 4 nights 5 days and had such a wonderful time! The apartment was cute, clean, and accommodated all of our needs! We rented a car and were about 10 minutes from great shops and sites and only a couple minutes from some of the best food and Austin. Maria and Jacob were very sweet. We very much enjoyed chatting with them and playing with their adorable pugs. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay here again!"
1317291,24203500,2014-12-22,348849,Jeremy,"Jacob's place is superb - cozy and with all of the amenities and close to lots of great as well as downtown. We came with our 13 month old daughter, and we loved the apartment - it clean, comfortable, child-friendly, and lots of room to roam for our young one.

Jacob replied promptly to all of our inquiries and when we met in person was a really kind, and down to earth guy. 

Highly recommended."
1317291,24586994,2014-12-31,9125718,Rupa,The place is as described and the hosts were very easy to contact. The flat is close to bars in east Austin but a bit further from downtown. Thanks for the great stay.
1317291,25016879,2015-01-05,876208,Johann,"Jake was a great host. He took the initiative and reached out a couple days ahead of time to give us all the info and make us feel welcome. The place was clean, private, and located in a convenient part of austin. I would stay at Jakes place again. "
1317291,25456363,2015-01-16,25909964,Jessica,"If you stumble into Austin and are lucky enough to have the opportunity to stay with Jacob, absolutely do so. After numerous failed attempts at contacting other hosts in the area, I was feeling extremely discouraged. After submitting a request to Jacob, I received a response within five minutes. FIVE MINUTES. I forgot to mention I was sitting in a coffee shop downtown with no place to go. Jacob not only came to the rescue, but also exceeded my expectations with both his hospitality and the place itself. It's spacious, comfortably sleeps four (large bed in the bedroom & pull-out coach in the living room), impeccably clean, and has far more than you need (Hmm, stable WiFi, safe parking off the street, a keypad so no worrying about misplacing a key, a private entrance, a full kitchen including an electric boiler and french press, shampoo & body wash in the bathroom, every brochure/magazine/local newspaper you would ever need to instantly fall in love with Austin, a ridiculously comfortable bed, two adorable pugs... to name a few).   I stayed a total of three nights, and Jacob made a point to check-in throughout that time to see if there was anything I needed in regard to the space, tips, recommendations, etc. While he was always there to respond (immediately), he was not obtrusive or pushy. The location is fantastic as well. It never took more than fifteen minutes to get where we wanted to go. Plus, the bus station is super close right down the street. Next time I'm in Austin, I will not hesitate to stay here again... and again. "
1317291,25594800,2015-01-20,9564848,Veronica,"Jacob's place was perfect! It was in the perfect area. My boyfriend and I stayed and we were able to walk to the store,enjoy a wonderful run on the lake, and it was a short ride to downtown. The apartment was very spacious and open, we were able to enjoy game night with some of our friends who live in Austin. Jacob and his wife were very nice and have the friendliest dogs. I would definitely recommend Jacob's place to everyone! Thank you so much for the lovely stay!"
1317291,26740752,2015-02-18,25911422,Chris,"I had a great stay at Jake's! Him and his wife are so kind and helpful. The apartment was great, too. Clean and spacious along with affordable!"
1317291,27108028,2015-02-25,27622863,Eric,"Excellent host.Made sure I had everything I needed, very well accomadating.Excellent location and neighborhood as airport and downtown within a few minutes away."
1317291,27594846,2015-03-08,15543313,Darius,"Very quaint and well-kept. Great location in reference to downtown and things to do. The apartment was equipped with anything and everything we needed for our stay - even down to shampoo and conditioner! It's in a private, residential location, which was very nice. We felt very welcomed and the host was readily available if we needed him. It was perfect for our vacation!"
1317291,27847660,2015-03-13,27946859,Daniel,"Overall a great experience. The place is as described in the listing, and was clean. It was much more spacious than I needed but it was nice to be able to spread out a bit. I had work downtown and it was a $6-7 Uber ride to the Austin Hilton, so it was plenty convenient as well. "
1317291,28163667,2015-03-19,680135,Kai,"Clean and cozy place - we enjoyed staying there very much. Very friendly and helpful hosts. Great and useful instructions before staying in the apartment. 
Quiet and pleasant neighbourhood with great cafés especially on Cesar Chavez. We rented a bike at pedal pushers and rode to SXSW and around town, which is about 15min. We loved Austin!

"
1317291,28724046,2015-03-29,803014,Curtis,Jacob was an excellent host.  The apartment was clean and spacious.  The home is close to downtown and walking distance from the Town Lake trails.
1317291,29004812,2015-04-02,28832737,Virginia,"My family and I absolutely loved our stay at Jakob and Maria's.   Turned out to be our favorite Austin neighborhood, close enough to our fav spots to eat and drink and hear music - I am talking about you Figure Eight and Scoot Inn and Sam's BBQ. We were completely comfortable. Loved the peace and quiet and the apartment was big enough for my teenager to play his guitar deep into the night while I got my beauty sleep.  Highly recommended. "
1317291,29297176,2015-04-06,4040276,Tom,"Jacob and Maria's apartment was lovely and seemed to be nearly brand new. The appliances and kitchen were well stocked and the bedroom was very cozy. We enjoyed all the windows that lit the space and had no problems with the sofa bed. Mostly we enjoyed the quiet location that was still very near to downtown and lakeshore, and the ease of access and parking. Thank you!"
1317291,29627177,2015-04-10,29704404,Emily,"This was a great, clean, well kept flat with all the conveniences  you could need! We really enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the location. It is close enough to downtown, east side coffee spots and taco trucks; while still being tucked away in an east austin neighborhood. There were even brochures to local venues, restaurants, shops and sites, laid across the coffee table upon arrival- which I thought was a nice touch :) I will absolutely use this spot as a home-away the next time I have family visiting!"
1317291,29926923,2015-04-14,20909798,Nisha,"Great stay! The flat was very easy to find and to get access to. Jacob made sure we had everything we need and followed up before and during the stay to ensure we were well taken care of! We had everything we needed, sheets, towels, a hairdryer, a wine opener :D It's also about 2 blocks from an outstanding juice/smoothie bar, Juiceland, which was perfect in the mornings! Overall, it made our trip to Austin very enjoyable!"
1317291,31453047,2015-05-05,107544,Greg,"The flat was clean, easy to use and a great location.  Setting up the visit went without any problems. Communication was good and easy.  When we arrived the place was clean and comfortable.  It was also quiet inside.  There is ample parking if needed.  We rented bikes from a great shop just down the street a bit ((website hidden)) which had the best prices and were super friendly.  Getting around town on bikes was easy.  Downtown is very close (1.5 miles), but there are also a number of restaurants and bars nearby even before downtown.  I met and communicated with the hosts who were both friendly and helpful.  Great place to stay in Austin.  I definitely recommend it.  "
1317291,31935164,2015-05-12,17622724,Charles,"I had a great time in Austin, my hosts were awesome. Loved the apartment, a bit more than I needed, loved the location, and loved the neighborhood. The two pugs were cool, made me miss my two dogs a little less. Overall this place made the trip to Austin much better."
1317291,32832217,2015-05-22,31164416,Susan,Our hosts were very welcoming and offered assistance if we needed it.  The location was convenient and cozy.
1317291,33660176,2015-05-31,29335742,Eileen,"
Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful..without being intrusive.  The place was as described...very comfortable and clean. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly.
I would go there again if I were visiting Austin."
1317291,34416622,2015-06-08,20529602,Michael,"Great place to stay, highly recommended, the apartment was immaculately clean. It's in a really cool neighborhood too, right near great coffee shops, hiking trails, a lake, juice bar and a fantastic brewery called Hops & Grain. H&G also roast their own coffee and it's awesome, I went there most mornings.

The hosts were really nice and happy to chat and provide recommendations of things do to if we crossed paths outside, but we had our own entrance along with all the privacy we wanted. 

I'd stay here again in a second. Awesome value. One of my best Airbnb experiences."
1317291,34878908,2015-06-13,25306554,Jessica,Apartment was amazing everything you would need! We had a great stay. We would highly recommend! 
1317291,35232535,2015-06-16,12233351,Federica,We didn't meet Jacob but his assistant gave us instructions to enter the property several days in advance. The apartment was very nice and clean and equipped with everything listed on the post. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. I would definitely recommend this host.
1317291,35839009,2015-06-22,30307420,Rachel,"The flat was great, very clean and comfortable. Jacob and Maria were very friendly and helpful during our stay. Great location in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to downtown. Would absolutely stay there again. "
1317291,36210531,2015-06-26,5310908,Daphne,"I loved the charming neighborhood which has not been gentrified yet and you a morning stop at JuiceLand 1 block away, was my morning ritual. Jacobs place was a much needed rest bit to my hectic days at a conference. I can't wait to come back and stay for fun!!!"
1317291,37058833,2015-07-04,10031669,Amanda,"This is a lovely Airbnb! It was exactly as described, and we had no trouble checking in or checking out. The apartment had all the essentials: basic kitchen supplies, clean linens, and shampoo, etc. Be aware that the apartment is located in what seems to be an ""up and coming"" neighborhood. It's nearby many new restaurants and bars, but I don't think I would have felt comfortable walking around in the neighborhood after dark. Don't let this dissuade you, though. It's an all-around excellent Airbnb. "
1317291,37574412,2015-07-08,34365164,Katrina,"Great first Airbnb experience!  Loved the flat; it was clean, roomy, and comfortable.  The location was great for getting to and from downtown.  They took the time to leave some nice touches such as brochures for things to do and about the city, an ironing board and iron, some beverages in the refrigerator, and coffee, etc.   "
1317291,38036624,2015-07-12,34310221,Holly,"We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very well appointed. Comfortable bed, all the basics for a short stay. The shower is wonderful for tall people! We will definitely stay here again."
1317291,38851955,2015-07-19,34226757,Janelle,"My husband, son and I just spent a week in Jacob and Maria's flat and couldn't have asked for a better experience! Communication was excellent, the flat was clean and had everything our family needed for a comfortable stay (including plenty of pillows and towels, an amazing shower with plenty of hot water, and lots of drawer and closet storage for clothes). The flat is conveniently located to reach either south Austin or the university/Capitol area. We were in town to visit our daughter and the flat ended up being only about 6 minutes from her work and 10-15 minutes to her apartment. We really appreciated the tourist information Jacob had in the apartment. My husband and I could not get over how quiet the neighborhood is and even though the beautiful morning sun does light up the apartment just like in the pictures, the shade and dark curtains in the bedroom allowed us to sleep as late as we wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with Jacob and Maria the few times that we saw them during the week. We also enjoyed several spots in the neighborhood within walking distance such as Juiceland and Friends and Neighbors Coffee. Thanks again for the wonderful stay!! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Austin!!"
1317291,40127119,2015-07-28,15671884,Ceri,"The apartment was beautiful, very spacious and clean, great air con etc. The bed was super comfortable. We stayed for one week with another group of friends who were staying in the center of town. We got an uber in to see them/for nights out etc., it was really cheap ($6 ish each way). For day trips we hired a car but for most of the week we were fine without. There's a great juice shop one block over for breakfast smoothies :) 

Jacob and his girlfriend were very friendly, very relaxed hosts. Would highly recommend."
1317291,40848567,2015-08-02,10545658,Brittany,Jacob and rose were very accommodating.  I  had an issue with a couple of roaches crawling in from the hot Texas sun but they were both quick to address the issue and make me feel comfortable.  They also let me check out late which I very much appreciated after a long week of work.  The place is very clean and comfortable.  I recommend!  
1317291,41522190,2015-08-07,7291370,Jeanne,"Jacob and Maria are super hosts...I booked just a few hours before we arrived in Austin, and they went out of their way to make everything just right for us.  We were busy with other things so didn't have a chance to explore the neighborhood beyond the HEB.  The apartment is really nice...spacious, tastefully and comfortably appointed, but not fussy.  Off street parking was a big plus, too.  Thanks to you both for everything...we made it to Chiapas all safe and sound in the new car!"
1317291,42136527,2015-08-11,16512888,Jaztin,"The flat was great; quite spacious and clean ^-^

Jacob and Maria were very nice hosts, and told us about all the local shops in the area (my friends and I fell in love with a juice bar nearby).  They gave us a gift card to enjoy the juice bar on our last day,  and stayed in touch throughout our stay.  Definitely our best Airbnb experience so far, thanks!"
1317291,43779201,2015-08-22,36457411,Stephanie,Jacob and is wife were great! They were very welcoming and informative of different things to do around town. The upstairs area was wonderful and definitely worth it. My friend and I really enjoyed the neighborhood. There are a couple of bars and restaurants within close walking distance and the city was not far either.  
1317291,44494747,2015-08-26,42084684,Michael,Jacob and his wife were very gracious and friendly hosts.  They welcomed us with open arms and even invited us to some local festivities.  The loft was extremely clean and my wife was happy to find a hair dryer in their bathroom because my wife wasn't able to bring hers.  They were also quick to fix any issues that we had.  A++
1317291,47093871,2015-09-15,339586,Oswaldo,"Jacob's place if beautiful, well located, clean and very confortable. It made our stay in Austin perfect. I strongly recommend it! "
1317291,47687850,2015-09-21,40080258,Jen,"My two friends and I loved our stay at this Airbnb.  It was our first Airbnb experience and Jacob and Maria and their assistant Rose all played roles in making our stay wonderful.  They were all very quick, within the hour, if not about 5 minutes, to respond to questions we had before our trip to Austin.  We arrived early, but everyone was great about letting us drop off our bags early so we could go explore Austin a bit before our convention began.
We spent most of our 4 night, 5 day stay at the Convention Center and the flat was very convenient, just 1.5 miles away in a fun neighborhood with nearby restaurants. Great for coming back to quickly change or relax before heading out for the evenings. We had a rental car and there is plenty of parking in their own off street parking lot.
We loved talking with Jacob and Maria one evening and meeting their sweet, adorable, calm and might I add, quiet dog, Theodore.  We were excited to have the option of a full kitchen even if we really only used the refrigerator since there are so many great restaurants and food trucks in Austin.   We  put the hair dryer and clothes iron as well as the Wi-Fi, Netflix beds, dresser drawers and clothes hangers in the big closet to good use during our entire stay.  
Jacob also recommended a great restaurant, Mettle nearby.  We had the best dinner during our stay there.  So much so, my two friends went back for Sunday brunch when I sadly was already on a plane home.  The food and service there were superb.  And one of my friends even got in a church service very close by.  Everything was clean and a great fit for our needs.  They also had great recommendations about things to do and see while in Austin.  We would definitely stay there again!  
Thank you again, Jacob, Maria and Rose!"
1317291,49881710,2015-10-07,38161905,Alex,Great location and nice apartment. Jacob the host was great and very approachable if we needed anything. 
1317291,51466985,2015-10-20,44836791,Kelley,"Jacob and Maria are really adorable and so welcoming.  The unit itself is super light and bright, clean and not cluttered at all, accommodating, and the bed was amazingly comfortable to sleep on - a real plus.  The area is exactly what I love about Austin - it's woodsy, has plenty of parking, super quiet at night but a very short drive to fun restaurants and local favorites.  We would stay here again in a second and loved every minute of it."
1317291,52268067,2015-10-27,6012880,Oscar,"The place is great, location is good, it is clean, quiet, and they are willing to help if anything is needed.  A great experience to be there, a decision that we won't regret."
7760511,49551042,2015-10-04,24645891,Tamara,"Amazing experience. Vern and her housemates were so hospitable and made me feel so at home. Great location, beautiful house, wonderful people. Lucky to have stayed here!"
587572,2329783,2012-09-17,3563365,Scott,"Lisa's Bird House is a great south Austin find!  It's tucked in a safe, quiet neighborhood and close to funky fun on south Lamar.  She made excellent food and beverage recommendations. 
We highly recommend you shack up at the Bird House!!"
587572,2549894,2012-10-08,3712324,Tc,"LOVED my stay. Cute, clean and very convenient for a good price. Lisa is a great source of Austin info and is very helpful and attentive. I will book again."
587572,2689844,2012-10-22,3830110,Stephanie,"great apartment, and super convenient to Lamar, S 1st and Congress. The apartment was cozy and accommodating, and a great place to relax. Lisa provided a great welcome sheet via email with tips of where to go around the area. I would definitely rent from her and stay at this apartment again when visiting Austin. "
587572,2925856,2012-11-20,3167477,Angela,"We had a lovely stay in the ""Bird House.""  It had everything we needed - the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom had all the amenities we could think of, and some we never used.  The location was great for Austin - so many restaurants/ bars/ even the highway pretty close by which made getting around very easy.  Lisa was so welcoming - she left us a list of suggested restaurants to check out, and when we arrived the apartment was lit up and warm and cozy.  We would definitely recommend The Bird House, or any of Lisa's properties to anyone looking for a great location in Austin."
587572,3363823,2013-01-17,4285319,Zayda,"Lisa was such a great host she was super nice. My boyfriend and I decided we wanted to stay in an apartment instead of a hotel for our stay in Austin because it would be more personal and Lisa had the house in perfect shape and ready to go in no time!!!! It was absolutely beautiful... It felt like home. So comfortable, so clean, and so inviting. Then we had a last minute change of plans and changed our flights so we could stay a couple more days in Austin and Lisa was nice enough to accommodate us. We had a wonderful stay, such a great place and the locations was fabulous not too close and not too far at all."
587572,3803974,2013-03-17,816894,Megan,Lisa was great! She let us drop our bags off early so we could enjoy our time in Austin right away and even found me an ironing board and iron for my wrinkly clothes. What a great host!
587572,4324402,2013-04-28,5496389,Ben,"Lisa was a wonderful hostess. We arrived to a clean, and picture perfect unit. Lisa provided us with a recommendations, and orientation list of restaurants, attractions, grocery stores, etc to help us get familiar with the area. Her tips were wonderful, all though I don't think you can visit a bad restaurant in Austin :)

We had a one year old with us, so safety was a concern, and Lisa did her best to accomodate by reaching out to ask if she should do any special preparation to make it safer.

She also volunteered a monitor and a printer which came in handy since I was working remotely from the apartment during our stay.

During our month there, we fell in love with Austin and became spoiled by how close the apartment was to the attractions of the city. We visited many different coffee shops, Zilker, and McKinney Falls State Park, biked along the pathways, and much more.

We highly recommend Lisa and her unit to anyone interested in exploring Austin."
587572,6168180,2013-08-01,3579072,Aimee,The reservation was canceled 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
587572,7741312,2013-10-01,3579072,Aimee,"Really nice apartment. I booked the place for a month and was really impressed with the accommodations... very comfortable. In a very quiet little neighborhood and the neighbors were all very friendly and helpful to. Felt like I was at home while staying here. My only recommendation is to make sure you have decent transportation while staying here (car or bicycle) because the street that the apartment is on is not too pedestrian-friendly :) Other than that, highly recommended."
587572,8441476,2013-10-31,6881034,Samantha,"We stayed for a month and had a wonderful time. This was a bit of a unique situation as we actually rented the apartment from the previous owner and stayed in it under Andrews ownership. The place itself is absolutely impeccable. Spotless and very well located. Andrew was easy to communicate with via text messaging (as he lives out of town) but there was an on site property manager who offered his hand and help the very day we arrived. You get exactly what's pictured and the descriptions are quite accurate. The bed was magnificent. So comfortable with lovely bedding. Most everything we needed in the way of basics (linens, bathroom necessities, etc) and appliances were available to us and of very good quality. The neighborhood is very quite safe and somewhat walkable by Austin standards. You can hear a train periodically, but I do quite like that and for those that don't, earplugs were provided. I'd recommend this place for young couples and people in town for partying. Thanks so much for making our stay so comfortable and easy. "
587572,8845957,2013-11-21,437379,Jeanne,"This was a good place to stay for a visit to Austin. The apartment is located in a small apartment complex, not much to look out from outside, but the apartment is clean quiet and comfortable, recently painted and redecorated. The location is convenient to downtown Austin and to the great restaurants in theSoCo section. Also   A good  location for excursions into the hill country. Andrew was not present on site, but was very responsive to all our questions and left a contact  name for someone on site if we needed help."
587572,10333101,2014-02-14,3755888,Clinton,"Really pleased with everything about the location.  Nicely furnished, located, and easy to talk to our host.  Ideal and would do it again."
587572,10878568,2014-03-11,614744,Brendan,"The Austin ""Get Away"" is a great place. It was easy to get to from the airport, clean, quiet, and well maintained. I was in touch with Andrew from the beginning for details about arrival and he was always very quick and responsive. I even accidentally left some things in the apartment after and they were mailed to me! "
587572,10974909,2014-03-16,10211199,Joey,We got down to Austin for SXSW and the place was exactly what we had expected. Andrew sent us a code to get in and the place was in order. We will definitely stay there again when we come back. Thanks again 
587572,11094366,2014-03-20,7246197,Linda,"Andrew's condo was very comfortable and well-situated; lots of closet space and hangers, drawer space and speedy wi-fi.  It looks just like the photos.  We liked the location and its proximity to everything we needed."
587572,11237785,2014-03-25,13347760,Samantha,This was a great place to stay. The bed was super comfy and the couch was just as comfy. There were extra towels and mini shampoo bottles and the place was very clean. Location was easy to hit up eveywhere we were going. Andrew was also very accommodating since we requested it the day of. I would def stay here again.
587572,11363504,2014-03-31,5167533,Mike,"Great condo!  Very clean, super well designed, and a great location -- near SoCo & biking distance to downtown!  Andrew gave us all the info we needed but otherwise left us alone.  I would caution against doing work in the place -- the internet connection was a bit spotty -- but otherwise fantastic!"
587572,11741300,2014-04-14,11082058,Rolf,Location of the complex was in a so-so residential area near train track with train toots during the night. The unit inside was nicely laid out but the unit had a distinct mold smell.
587572,13532978,2014-05-30,4930022,Kathryn,"Andrew's Austin ""Get Away"" was a wonderful experience. It's perfectly located close to downtown and South Congress. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and has all the amenities you need. Andrew was a great host and very attentive. He would always respond very quickly if anything was needed and made to take care of even the smallest items. If you're looking for a place that feels like home, in a great location, with a stellar host, I highly recommend staying here. I will definitely return! "
587572,20410547,2014-09-29,14768052,Lory,This was a beautifully decorated little apartment close to Congress and other interesting areas. Not really walking distance but very close. I stayed for two months and everything you need for the kitchen is there as well as extra linens and supplies. I definitely recommend. 
587572,20816986,2014-10-06,1482117,Brittany,The apartment was perfect for our 4-night stay for ACL. It was clean and tidy when we arrived and had all of the expected amenities of a great Airbnb. The bed was extremely comfortable too. The apartment was walkable to a lot of stores and shops and in a quiet neighborhood. Would recommend to others!
587572,21373678,2014-10-16,6083229,Jody,"This was our first time in Austin and we had an incredible time! We attended the ACL Fest & the property was in a great location. We were close enough to ride bikes to & from the festival, South Congress, and our favorite hangout in the neighborhood, The Black Sheep Lodge!
The house was ready for us even though we arrived early & the keypad was so convenient-no need to carry a key! The bed was super comfy, the closet was huge, and we had everything we needed in the kitchen & bathroom.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we can't wait to return next year!!!"
587572,22041975,2014-10-28,22544836,Marianne,"My husband and I stayed at Andrew's place for a week for the Austin Film Festival, and highly recommend it.  His photos are 100% accurate, the place was immaculate and well-stocked, and very comfortable for the two of us.  The location is PERFECT for anything having to do with downtown Austin or SoCo, it's great to have off-street reserved parking, and all the neighbors we encountered were very friendly.  The place felt very secure, and the complex itself was very quiet.  When we had a question, Andrew was very friendly and easy to reach.  We would definitely stay there again!  Oh, and he wasn't kidding about the great water pressure - that shower is fantastic.  :)  Thanks ~ we'll be back!"
587572,22287724,2014-11-03,13077255,Breyen,We appreciated the listing of restaurants and things to do close to our place which was provided prior to our arrival.  Location is very convenient to downtown.  Lamar has a lot to do which is also very close to location.  We enjoyed our stay in Austin and can't wait to come back.
587572,23023169,2014-11-20,6646397,Brian,"This is a really great one bedroom condo.  All of the furniture was updated and very comfortable.  The host sends you the key code once you are confirmed, no hassles.  Like the decor, the bed was comfortable, over all a really good stay.  Lot of extra toiletry items were on hand for your convenience.  Not far from downtown as well."
587572,23524444,2014-12-03,21563131,Monica,"Very nice accommodation: modern, cozy, fully equipped and situated in a quite neighborhood with easy access any Austin venue. Happy to recommend it."
587572,25272924,2015-01-11,22721143,Chris,"First time experience of an Airb&b stay for myself and my partner, we spent 25 days at host Andrew's superb Austin 'Get Away' over the Christmas/New Year holidays and loved every minute we were there. The photos really don't do it justice, a terrific stylish living space with every comfort and accoutrement you could wish for during a stay. The apartment was in spotless condition on our arrival, the fridge & kitchen cupboard stocked with a few essential staples...really thoughtful hosting and greatly appreciated. The apartment's heating/AC system is efficient and simple to use; during an uncharacteristic cold snap over Christmas the place was always cozy and warm for us. Similarly in the en suite bath room, hot water was pretty instant, strong water pressure in the shower, plenty of towels and sundries etc. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linen fresher than a spring breeze on our arrival.

Unfortunately we didn't get to meet our host Andrew in person as he was away from Austin at the time, but he provided a great guide to the area and rundown on the apartment in the check-in info. Andrew was always quick to respond to my 'Noob' e-mail queries prior to arrival and the odd phone call while we were there, he is very straight forward and was helpful throughout.

The apartment itself is situated in a quiet street, just a few clicks away from South Lamar boulevard, the neighbors were all very friendly and made us feel very welcome during our stay there. 

The location in South Lamar was perfect for us; so many great places to eat, drink, buy groceries, be entertained or rock-out to live music all within easy walking distance. We both enjoyed discovering Austin on foot that we pretty much hoofed it into Congress et Al and rarely used the bus, but there are plenty of bus links on South Lamar if you need them. 

We both had a terrific stay in Austin at the 'Get Away' and would unreservedly recommend the apartment and it's host. 
We'll certainly be hoping to book again on our next visit.
"
587572,27162316,2015-02-27,67107,Kit,"A great stay in Austin! The place was clean and had everything we needed for a month's stay (and the bed & couch are indeed very comfy). Many people told us that this was one of the coolest neighborhoods in the city! You can walk to a lot of cool places on Lamar, 1st St and even Congress from here - even though no one else in Austin seems to walk anywhere ;) 

The wifi is pretty fast, though it does occasionally slow down a bit when everyone gets home in the evening. Not a big deal - we were still able to Netflix when we wanted to! "
587572,27513733,2015-03-06,26586307,Wendy,"Perfect location, quiet condo - the neighbors all seem to be respectful of each other. Andrew was very communicative and welcoming. I have already booked several future stays! "
587572,27949184,2015-03-15,4008205,Heather,Great communication. Worked with us to extend even when we thought it would be impossible. 
587572,28098378,2015-03-17,5935085,Grace,"Amazing stay! The home was exactly as advertised, cozy and clean, I highly recommend!"
587572,28614649,2015-03-27,26127320,Steve,"Everything was just as advertised, great location and very clean. We would definitely recommend this Apt. "
587572,28740416,2015-03-29,29276153,Georgia,"Great place to stay! The apartment was spotless and in a really good area, very easy to get around. 

Only one issue occurred where we didn't have any bedding for the sofa, but Andrew got that sorted straight away, we were out all afternoon / night so when we got back the bedding was there. 

Fantastic weekend in Austin and I would highly recommend staying here. "
587572,29052231,2015-04-03,26586307,Wendy,This is my second stay and it was just as good as the first. I've already booked subsequent stays all the way through summer! 
587572,30260003,2015-04-19,7721010,Nathan,"The house was great. Andrew was very responsive, also the electronic door lock was great. Clean, good a/c, and good area. Will stay again. "
587572,30653964,2015-04-25,28720830,Robert,"I had a great stay at the ""Get Away"". Andrew was very quick and responsive about my various questions in the run up and while I was there.  Everything in the apt feels new, clean, nice.  Location is pretty convenient to downtown (I rented a bike and made the trip a couple of times) and plenty of restaurants right around on Lamar.  "
587572,32882043,2015-05-23,27454031,Sean,"Andrew was great he asked if we wanted the fridge stocked, came over when the cable was broken. We stayed for a month when settling into Austin when moving. Would have stayed longer but it was booked out."
587572,33500987,2015-05-29,26586307,Wendy,"It's always a great experience to stay here, Its my home when I'm in Austin for work. "
587572,40307206,2015-07-30,26586307,Wendy,I stayed for over a month this trip and it was great as always! Andrew is a very responsive host. 
587572,41040119,2015-08-03,39985255,Jenni,"Very clean, cute, and comfy! The ""Get Away"" was in a nice, quiet neighborhood that was still close to downtown. It was a great ""home base"" for our downtown Austin adventures!"
587572,44762445,2015-08-29,26586307,Wendy,I always enjoy my stay at Andrew's place. He's a great host and the condo is in an awesome part of Austin! 
587572,46086003,2015-09-07,325205,Morgan,"My two sisters and I showed up pretty late on our first night, but Andrew was very good about giving details instructions on how to get in as well as responding to us quickly. The one thing to note about this place is the location. We were 10-15 mins from everything. Congress bridge for bats, south congress, 6th street, Barton Springs. The location is THE reason to rent this place. 

The bed is comfy, the bathroom is large. I will say, the listing says it can sleep 4, but I don't know where a fourth would have slept. The couch in the picture makes for a very comfy bed for one person. There were plenty of towels and linens and pillows, but I'd suggest bringing your own pillow if you don't like firm thin ones. 

The air is cold and the fan in the bedroom made for good noise and wind. "
587572,47984719,2015-09-22,38609349,Kerry,"Andrew was a very attentive & great host. There was one issue with the apartment which was efficiently & promptly rectified by Andrew. He was very good in providing the needed information for check-in as well as check out. There was a listing for local restaurants & bars as well as transportation options. Overall, it was a pleasant stay at a well located area that enhanced our visit to Austin.T "
587572,49587082,2015-10-05,2313678,Portia,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Andrew's ""Get Away"" home in Austin! 

Before the trip, Andrew provided a great guidebook which included all the necessities to get to the apartment, things to do, and places to eat at. Once we got to the apartment, the place looked exactly like the pictures;  clean, modern and trendy. The keypad to the door was also convenient since we didn't have to carry around a set of keys. Andrew was awesome in that he checked up on us during our trip to make sure everything was okay. 

The neighborhood is up and coming, and it's close by to a CVS where you can get necessities. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and we would stay at Andrew's place again!"
587572,50426471,2015-10-12,29191530,Jess,Andrew was a great host! The get away was a very cute apartment in a great  location with plenty of restaurants/food trucks within walking distance. Downtown/6th street/South Congress was just a 5 minute Uber ride away!
6054354,32266750,2015-05-16,1440538,Treavor,"I extended my stay because the place, the other housemates, and Martin were awesome. The house is huge, so you never feel cramped. The vibe is relaxed. Everybody does their own thing, but we hang out and go to events together. I recommend this spot."
6054354,33725348,2015-05-31,19469174,Josh,"After a full day of traveling, I arrived to Austin tired, hot and hungry. I had reserved an airbnb originally somewhere else for two weeks. But, upon arrival I learned that the original place I booked had a different address then what was given to me. It was very far away! I called up airbnb and they put me in touch with Martin who set me up with a bed that same night! He saved my butt!

I had a great time staying with him and the others at the Tech House. I would recommend Martin to anyone looking for a longer term stay in Austin and I will be staying there again next time im in Austin!
"

7871674,46189126,2015-09-08,41773331,Ross,"Shannon was the ultimate host.  Her place was tidy and in a fantastic location.  She was extremely helpful guiding us around Austin.  I would highly recommend renting through Shannon!
"
7871674,47289042,2015-09-17,10399034,Vanessa,"Shannon's apartment was the perfect base for our two-day exploration of Austin. The apartment itself was perfectly clean and well stocked with all sorts of kitchen utensils etc. Air conditioning was also much appreciated and free parking was a great plus. What we really, really fell in love with though was the location: cute residential area with porches and gardens, yet within walking distance of the downtown (River!) and University area. Caffè Medici was great for that morning caffeine shot and people watching and the Wholefoods flagship store on Lamar also deserves a visit. We'd definitely stay here again!"
7871674,47769771,2015-09-21,10124789,Kurt,"Very nice studio apartment - perfect for two persons. Very nice, quiet location with great coffee within walking distance. "

7871674,48975582,2015-09-29,5669997,Farin,"I had a great experience at Shannon's adorable apartment. It was perfect for just me but two people could easily stay there. The location, LOCATION... was amazing. Pretty much everything great in Austin is located so close to her apartment. The east side is amazing. But every place you want to visit on the west side, etc., is only a 10 minute uber ride. I never paid more than 10 dollars to go places in Austin from her place. Rainey Street, S. Congress, sixth street, barton springs... it is all right there, no need for a rental car, honestly. The restaurants within walking distance, zocalo, Josephine's (amazing brunch spot) were delicious. I would rebook in a second. Thank you! "
7871674,50043073,2015-10-08,12657408,Gemma,"Shannon went above and beyond to make our stay work. We booked at late notice and extended our stay and she was so accommodating. Her place is neat, clean and in a sweet neighborhood. She has defiantely made this quiet spot into a cute home. Will stay here again for sure! "
7871674,50674845,2015-10-13,27646176,Claire,"Shannon was a great hostess! Her place is clean, neat and exactly as pictured. She made it easy for us to come and go and even left us little local treats! Her apt is best for one person or a couple, but we were able to fit an air mattress in the bedroom. Neighborhood is great, with little cafes and coffee shops within an easy walk and close to downtown and other points of interest. "
7871674,51314308,2015-10-19,8908170,Nina,Place was great and Shannon was super accommodating!

3720498,22667833,2014-11-11,22819792,Luke,"We had such a lovely time staying here! We Loved the house , it's so cute, and so close to so many great things to do! 
We particularly enjoyed spending time at the yellow jacket social club just up the road on fifth.
Hope was really cool with in regards to check in and check out.

Can't recommend this place enough."
3720498,28067939,2015-03-17,10849919,Tyler,"Hope was very helpful in getting us checked in while in Austin. This house was the perfect location for SXSW. Close enough to walk (although we rented bikes) but also just fair enough off the main drag that you could get a peaceful nights sleep. 

The property is truly an Artist's Oasis! We particularly enjoyed the instruments and took the opportunity to have a few jam sessions during conference breaks. Another nice little perk was the record player along with a good sampling of music. 

This is a great home if you are visiting Austin and planning to experience the city, specifically downtown. 

"
3720498,29716843,2015-04-11,854759,Carlee,"Hope was really responsive and helpful.  The house is very cabin-y and Funky!  Keyboard in the bedroom, drum kit in the kitchen, kayaks stored above the fridge.  The backyard is huge and wild.  East Austin is so fabulous, close to everything, great restaurants.  The street gets a bit of action and the walls are quite thin so you may want to bring earplugs.   Thanks, Hope!"
3720498,49455353,2015-10-04,25094450,Laura,"Hope's cottage has clean amenities and whimsical decor. Good place to stay to be in walking distance from Rainey Street, East Austin and Downtown hotspots. Hope was responsive and allowed as to check in early."
3720498,51958769,2015-10-25,522682,Shaun,"This place wouldn't be for everyone but it was for me. It's a small one bedroom cottage which shows its age but makes up for it with abundant character. It is full of eclectic decision choices, old family photos, good books and better records. It's convenient to all parts of town and is part of a more residential area of Austin. "
5497475,29876051,2015-04-13,23849979,Jesselyn,"I found this spot for my parents who were visiting Austin for the weekend. They were absolutely in awe of this place and told me to leave a ""phenomenal"" review!! I met with Mary Ann and Anthony prior to my family's arrival and she was so accomodating... the place was clean, had a good coffee spread, great backyard, and even complimentary wine and toiletries. My parents have requested I book them at this house for every future trip to Austin. "
5497475,30362570,2015-04-20,21491147,Oscar,"This home is awesome. It's everything you need on vacation: welcoming, cozy, LOCATION, toiletries, bikes to even snacks, pancake mix and WINE.  I can't stress how good the location is; its on the lady bird lake bike trail which takes you to all the spots in town, it's a walk or bike ride to top restaurants, bars, downtown, and 6th street. Love it here and will definitely come again.  Thanks  "
5497475,30534815,2015-04-23,3708687,Steven,"Mary Ann and Anthony were lovely hosts. Mary Ann was easy to communicate with and very helpful throughout our stay. We needed last minute accommodations, and everything was smooth from the start. The house has a welcoming atmosphere and was very clean. The location is in East Austin, right on the lady bird lake trail. We could not have found a better location to be able to explore all the wonders East Austin has to offer. We were also able to hop right on the trail with Mary Ann's two cruiser bikes and hit Rainey Street and downtown which are only a short and relaxing bike ride away.

Wonderful overall stay!"
5497475,30899418,2015-04-28,28590304,Kevin,Mary Ann was prompt and responsive to queries about the house and the airbnb process.  The house met the expectations set in the description.  Access to a walk/run/bike trail was steps away; and a 5-10 minute walk to Town Lake.
5497475,32854000,2015-05-22,27919502,Bill,"We highly recommend Cozy Eastside Vibe.  We were cheerfully welcomed even when I needed to get the key earlier than expected.  The property is a small house that was very comfortable and private.  The living room had comfortable seating when we had guests.  The full kitchen was well equipped.  If it had not been rainy, we would have enjoyed the front porch/patio.  The house in at the end of a street and right next to the trail around the lake.  The off-street parking was very convenient. Mary Ann and Anthony were very nice and responsive when we had a question.  We certainly hope their house is available for our next trip to Austin."
5497475,35750904,2015-06-21,35337207,Liana,"This was a great place to stay, I really enjoyed the space. Mary Ann and Anthony were great hosts and very attentive in making sure everything was ready when I got there with my last minute booking. The house has everything you need and I loved the neighborhood. The east side had a great feel to it. Thank you both for sharing your small home."
5497475,36728312,2015-06-30,36163251,Ross,"Mary Ann was a wonderful host. She and Anthony were extremely responsive and they made sure everything was taken care of. Thanks to their hospitality our stay easy and perfect. The place was amazing and cozy, it had everything you could ask for. 

The location is unbeatable. Whether you're looking to lay low and enjoy the piece and quite of a wonderful neighborhood, hit the bike trails and enjoy the lake, or walk to some of the best restaurants / bars in town, you can do it all from here.  

This is a perfect home base for exploring all this great city has to offer and I highly recommend it. Thanks Mary Ann! "
5497475,36924419,2015-07-02,34397226,John,"David was there to greet us when we arrived, and was very friendly and welcoming. It was a really experience to meet him.
The house was even more charming than described - it was very comfortable and inviting, and the location was great."
5497475,37490168,2015-07-07,27060332,Janine,We stopped here on a road trip from Brooklyn to Nashville to Austin and had very bad weather on our 13 hour drive to this location. Mary Ann and Anthony stayed in contact with us and we're very sweet and accommodating when we arrived later than we had originally planned. The house is beautiful and super cozy. Right off Lady Bird trail and a short drive to everything. Loved staying here and didn't want to ever leave! Couldn't ask for a better experience. We'll definitely be back.
5497475,37816918,2015-07-10,4334413,Lauren,Mary Ann and Anthony gave us a wonderful experience in Austin! We absolutely loved the adorable home and neighborhood. The experience checking in and out was easy and we felt very welcomed. We were even allowed to stay as long as we wanted since there weren't any guests booked for the following day. We were a very short drive/Uber from some wonderful bars on 6th street and this apartment was the perfect jumping off point for our adventures in Austin!
5497475,38342085,2015-07-14,37198567,Howard,"Had a great stay! The place was clean and cozy and we felt very welcome. Convenient location to everything in Austin and it's just a couple of blocks from Launderette, which I highly recommend for dinner or weekend brunch."
5497475,41622208,2015-08-08,36483443,Margaret,It was so delightful to stay so close to my family in Mary Ann's wonderful home.  The house is charming and so comfortable.  I was made to feel at home the minute I walked in the door.  I hope to be able to stay there every time I come to Austin.  It was 5 stars all the way!!
5497475,42326466,2015-08-12,12302500,Rachel,"Mary Ann's cozy east side vibe was beyond perfect, I didn't want to leave! Not only was it in a quiet and safe neighborhood, it was decorated well and made me feel like I was at home. Fully functioning kitchen as well as a laundry area if I needed. The house is situated right next to the bike path which was a huge plus. The location to me seemed great, centrally located.. just a short drive to all the different neighborhoods Austin has to offer. I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Mary Ann as she was out of town but her husband Tony took care of us and was wonderful. Definitely will be staying here again! :)"
5497475,43376912,2015-08-19,2203911,Taylor,Mary Ann's place was perfect for anyone looking to get an authentic Austin experience. The description was accurate and there were no issues with communication or access. I would definitely recommend it to anyone passing through. 
5497475,43592511,2015-08-20,22855,Amanda,"What a cute place!  Mary made it totally easy to coordinate arrival. Tony was very friendly and explained the house, amenities and neighborhood.  Place was clean and well equipped. My friend had a great stay.  "
5497475,44345272,2015-08-25,14894260,Randy,"Mary Ann and Tony were very accommodating and kind. Their home was wonderful, located in a great area, and they were always so quick with replies. Thanks again for a great stay! Highly recommended!"
5497475,45223306,2015-08-31,42755304,Janeth,"Very cute little spot in the East Side. Everything you will need at a great price. Mary was great with communication via text even though never had a chance to meet her. Came in around 9pm for a late check in and her husband Tony was quite helpful getting us settled.

would absolutely book again and recommend."
5497475,46459079,2015-09-10,10979876,Lyza,"We had a great stay here!  It will be first on our list next time we are in Austin. The house met all of our needs: good communication w host, clean, close to downtown, good ac for the southern heat, parking, Turner Classic Movies for my sweetie, and cheap since we are only there really to sleep. 

It is a super small house, which was fine for us but if yer a bigger couple you might be a little cramped in the bathroom and on the queen size bed.  And u could fit a third on the futon but it too is small. Again for the price and location i wouldn't expect anything more.

We took a long walk home one night from our favorite honky tonk bar the white horse. I gotta say it's completely disturbing how rapidly the neighborhoods are changing for the worst. We'd pass a beautiful old school house radiating authentic charm, and right next to it there'd be a gigantic brand new modern style house that was sterile, lifeless, and completely devoid of anything that has made Austin unique. What a shame.

I want to help support the people who are trying to keep the original houses and all of their charm. You should too. Thanks again Mary Anne! "
5497475,46636785,2015-09-12,42532415,Katherine,"We had the best time at Mary Ann and Anthony's place. It was beautiful, clean, private, and cozy! The neighborhood was the best! The dinner we had at Launderette (just around the corner) was the best meal I've had in a long time. Mary Ann was great with communication. It couldn't have been better. I wish I could move in."
5497475,47512222,2015-09-19,42163505,Jan,"Mary Ann was away when we were there but Anthony was there to greet us and was very welcoming. It is, as described, very cozy but we were very comfortable there. It was very well presented and we felt very welcome.We didn't know anything about Austin, or East Austin before going but we felt very safe there. Proximity to the river/lake was great as well as the emerging night life in the vicinity. We would recommend Mary Ann and Anthony's cute place to others."
5497475,48139348,2015-09-23,32307305,Hunter,"Great experience. Owners are beyond friendly, the home is well kept and perfect for a quick trip to Austin. Best of all, right next to an incredible trail if you are a runner/biker! "
5497475,48804237,2015-09-28,3817328,Allison,"Cute little place in a cool neighborhood. The location was very convenient. It was an easy drive to different restaurants and other places around town we wanted to visit. Very solid air conditioning, which was a big plus due to the hot weather."
5497475,49720711,2015-10-05,1434996,Joe,Had an excellent time! Mary Ann and Anthony were wonderful hosts and made sure everything in the house was to our liking. I'd definitely stay again. 
5497475,52221000,2015-10-27,29932271,Denise,"Great experience at Mary Ann's. Everything you need is right in the apartment in a perfect location. Super location, really comfy bed, quiet neighborhood still close to all the action. About 5 to 10 bucks with Uber or Lyft into downtown or SoCo. We loved staying there! Mary Ann and her husband Anthony were always there when we had questions. Perfect stay! Couldn't ask for more. Stay here when you stay in Austin. "
5884972,36474834,2015-06-28,36468072,Brenda,This was my first experience with Airbnb and it was very pleasant. The condo was very welcoming and confortable.  I also got a response after I requested to book within minutes.  Kinsey was very helpful with any questions that I had and everything went very well.  The best part of all was the welcome note on the counter that had suggestions of what places we could visit in Austin.
5884972,37217500,2015-07-05,36172132,Samuel,We had a lovely stay at Kinsey's in Austin. Her apartment was very clean and in the perfect location. We enjoyed morning walks along the river finishing with a delicious coffee at the boat shed. Rainey Street  is a short walk where you can enjoy live music and great hospitality from the Texans! We also loved that we were able to cool off in apartment building's common pool. Kinsey was very helpful giving us great directions around town and always answered promptly to our questions. We would recommend her apartment to friends.
5884972,38947348,2015-07-19,1689461,Lindsey,Great Stay! Nice and clean and great location. Would definitely stay again!
5884972,41881274,2015-08-09,32240749,Michael,I couldn't think of a single thing that could be done to make your place a better experience! It was in a perfect location! Clean and spacious and perfect for a group of 4. 
5884972,52178127,2015-10-26,20936083,Trisha,"Great location for the Formula One weekend as it was exactly as Kinsey described i.e. ten minutes walk straight to Rainey Street and 15mins drive to the Circuit of The Americas.
She waited patiently for us to arrive as were working early at the circuit and was always contactable when needed. 
Great place and host for the long weekend."

The home is neatly kept with beautiful front and back porches that made morning coffee and an evening glass of wine perfect.  Very peaceful and quiet location for those seeking a place to unwind. 
Joe was a  very gracious and friendly host accommodating  my few requests to insure I was completely comfortable during my stay.  Those who enjoy birding would love this quiet spot. Lots of trees and close to the lake. My experience was great! Thank you Joe,Ginger and Pipes!"
4350918,52339847,2015-10-28,36546234,Shane,Joe was a very gracious host.  Beautiful home and location.
154103,546691,2011-09-19,1093187,Julian,"5 STARS!!  Scott and his family shared their beautiful home with us on ACL weekend.  The photos really don't do it justice.  They made every effort to communicate with us before our stay, ensuring that all of our needs were taken care of.  Upon arrival, the house was clean, common areas were very conducive to hanging out, and all the sleeping areas were comfortable.  They left us tasty snacks and drinks in the fridge.  The location is great; only about a mile walk to Zilker Park.  Everyone in our group loved this place and we are already talking about renting again if available in the future!"
154103,1016023,2012-03-19,1474427,Chris,"Scott and Alexia are amazing hosts with a beautiful home. We stayed in their 3 BR Austin house for the duration of SXSW 2012 and they went above and beyond to accomodate us. 

They were very good at communicating with us before, during and after our stay in Austin to make sure we had everything we needed. Prior to our arrival, they provided us with a list of recommended local restaurants, grocery stores and other attractions in the area. They offered us their bicycles to cruise to downtown. They even left us champagne and chocolates as a warm welcome! 

Scott and Alexia are everything you could hope for on your first Airbnb experience! They have my highest recommendation. "
154103,1168269,2012-04-23,429227,Rachel,"EXCELLENT STAY!
To being with, Scott was great to correspond with.  He was always prompt and very helpful.  We arrived at the house without problems, and it was very clean and more beautiful than the pictures.  They had graciously left a bottle of champagne to welcome us.

The house is very large and could comfortably sleep 10 people without using the air mattresses.  The common spaces and the outside patio are amazing for large groups, as there is plenty of seating and it has a very warm and open feel.  The living room is well laid out, and the kitchen is very modern and well-stocked for all of your cooking needs.  The outside areas felt quite private, as they are on a corner lot and their lawn is very large.  It was perfect for enjoying a late spring evening.  Location was also ideal, being very close to Barton Springs and downtown.  We opted to drive everywhere, but you could easily bike to many locations.  We took a taxi to downtown, and it was $12 (very affordable, in my opinion). The neighborhood is really adorable (watch out for the ""Otter Crossing: Drive Slow!"" handmade signs around) and very safe.

Definitely a great place to stay and an amazing deal!  I looked for days on every rental website and was so relieved to find this house.  The only thing to be aware of is that this is their house, not a vacation rental home.  Therefore, there will be clothes in the closet, food in the fridge, etc.  However, it was immaculate and there was plenty of room for all of our stuff, so it's really not a con at all.  It also means that the house has a lot of personality, from their stunning photography from their world adventures as well as their gorgeous children."
154103,2628828,2012-10-16,3185618,Jennifer,"This house was the perfect location for our trip to ACL! The home was beautiful and a short walk to Zilker park. Scott was an excellent host and his family definitely went the extra mile to make their home welcoming and comfortable! From booking to check out, we had a great experience! "
154103,3806677,2013-03-17,3207536,Lindsay,"Overall, our group had a great stay! Scott was a wonderful host and was very accommodating. We had 5 people staying at his place and there was plenty of room for all! Scott was great to coordinate with prior to our trip and made sure we had everything we needed. For our trip to SXSW his place was perfect and we hope to stay there again next year!"
154103,20899426,2014-10-07,114816,Timothy,Our stay at the Hoopman residence exceeded expectations.  Scott was very helpful with coordination pieces before and during the trip.  The home is very welcoming and offers plenty of space to enjoy your vacation.  I recommend staying here if you have the opportunity.  The location was well suited for Austin City Limits at Zilker Park.
154103,28462011,2015-03-24,3437129,Sam,"Scott and I had great communication prior to my stay. 

He was very accommodating for my needs and offered many amenities for children too.

The house was spacious and clean. We loved the backyard with gorgeous trees. 

The location was good for SXSW, if you don't mind a commute every day. We had a car and the drive took around 15 minutes each way.

The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. 

The living area was very comfy and we watched Netflix every night to wind down after the festival.

The master room was comfy with ensuite. We didn't use the other rooms of the house but they were clean and accommodating.

I would recommend Scott's house to any family or large group wanting housing near Zilker / Barton Springs. 

The surrounding area is very quiet at night with good supermarkets and restaurants nearby too. 

Thanks Scott and family for a great stay. "
154103,46158165,2015-09-08,2242661,Riley,"Scott was an amazing host. Should I get another opportunity to visit Austin, I would hope to stay in his home again. Scott was accommodating and communicative with our group's check in and check out times. The location of the house was ideal being so close to Barton Springs Pool. The pictures are accurate and the neighborhood is perfect for a relaxing weekend. "

2918188,14237768,2014-06-15,14976079,Charlie,"We stayed two nights in the Treehouse Studio, which was a cool way to experience Austin for the first time. Great location a block off of the prime of South Congress, and very walkable to the river and downtown (my wife did it in brand-new boots from Allen up the road). Nice finishes inside, very comfortable.
The only minor complaint I have is that it felt a little unfinished at the time of our stay. The wood inside is super fresh (with the intense fragrance), and while the amount of glass is nice, without window coverings it's lacking in privacy and shade (mornings!).  There also was no path to the steps from the dirt driveway, so since we were caught out in one of Austin's finest storms, we had to run through mud to get inside (sorry, new boots).
Overall, I think this will be an awesome place to stay once all the work is completed."
2918188,15938151,2014-07-18,3402778,Chantal,"excellent rental in a perfect location! walking distance from great shopping, eating and coffee. being somewhat design savvy, this unit appealed to us off the listing and didn't disappoint in person. beautiful cedar vaulted ceilings, industrial modern bathroom and a simplistic mid century styling  made us feel at home.  this space also has everything you could possibly need! A+ - highly recommend!"
2918188,16118666,2014-07-22,1180444,Kelsea,"The SoCo Treehouse is fantastic. It was perfect for two people and was a perfect location, less than 2 blocks from South Congress. It is bright and airy with great energy, however I would highly recommend a sleep mask, as there is only one set of curtains and the street lamps can keep you up at night. Also, if you are a very private person, this wouldn't be the place for you. Passersby can see into the treehouse easily from the street, but on the flip side, this is a cool experience to have the feeling of having neighbors. Everything in the treehouse is in new condition. Perfect for a weekend, but probably not anything too long due to the lack of a washer and dryer. The check-in/check-out process was flawless. I will absolutely stay in the treehouse during my next trip to Austin!"
2918188,17114032,2014-08-07,1013492,Andrew,"Erica's Treehouse was a great experience for my girlfriend and myself. The new construction has great attention to detail, and is beautifully decorated.

We loved the amount of natural sunlight the windows and open floor plan allowed.

Lastly, the neighborhood was filled with shops and great food close by. A great location for exploring Austin."
2918188,18578995,2014-08-28,7506931,Dana,"Really well done space in a great neighborhood. Lots of great touches, and exceptionally clean and comfortable. I loved being able to walk to the best of SoCo.
Like some others have mentioned, there is a LOT of natural light, which is lovely, but lets in the street lights and such at night - just a heads up if you are light-sensitive when sleeping. Wasn't a huge issue for me.
I would definitely stay again, but might bring a sleep mask next time. ;)"

We can't wait to come back next year! Thank you!

2918188,24062958,2014-12-18,24675224,Amy,"My husband and I loved the SoCo Treehouse.  It was clean and modern, but also very cozy...  Perfect for two people. The best part of the rental, was its location... Just steps away from South Congress and its many restaurants, shops, bars, and music venues. I would definitely recommend the SoCo Treehouse to other travelers."
2918188,25598696,2015-01-20,13736463,Emma,"The location of the treehouse literally could not have been any better. We were just blocks from amazing food, shops, and nightlife. "
2918188,25729794,2015-01-24,26216326,Dan,"Enjoyed the stay.  Maybe 100 yards away from S. Congress Avenue.  Conveniently close to restaurants, shops, & night life.  Nice place."
2918188,26002202,2015-02-01,4418724,Pascal,I really enjoyed my stay at the SoCo Treehouse. The place is very cozy and conveniently located in one of the best part of town (namely SoCo). I definitely recommend it! 
2918188,27556961,2015-03-07,7658234,Ali,The location of this rental was exactly what I was looking for. I absolutely love South Congress and was 1 block away from the action. This is a perfect spot for anyone wanting to explore this neighbourhood.

We walked everywhere!!! You don't really need a car with all the b cycle stations and car to go's around. We would definitely stay here again."
2918188,29609615,2015-04-10,28120929,Dustin,The treehouse was beyond our expectations.  It was a perfect retreat while staying in Austin.  A++ on all aspects.

Moments away from Guero's, The Continental, Perla's, Allens Boots, Hey Cupcake, Elizabeth St Cafe, etc. This alone is a bonus. The apartment itself is beautifully appointed and nicely designed with lux fixtures and fittings. We could happily live here, and will definitely try booking if we're ever back in Austin."

Does get a little hot and WiFi was spotty but that did not take away from our enjoyment. 

Definitely recommended.

2918188,36547180,2015-06-29,726661,Alex,"This was a fantastic place to stay. The architecture is charming, the interior is incredibly thoughtful and comfortable, and the neighborhood is great. All of the furnishings felt brand new, including the super comfy bed and well-stocked kitchen. Bars and restaurants are right around the corner, but it's also nice and quiet - we woke up to the sounds of birds chirping. We would love to stay here again and see more of what Austin has to offer."
2918188,37747733,2015-07-10,11593257,Emma,We stayed in the birdhouse for a few nights. It was fresh and clean! The AC was a lifesaver in the heat. The location is great with a few shops and several great restaurants within walking distance. Erica and her crew were helpful and always replied within an hour! Thanks for this! Would highly recommend this place.
2918188,39173120,2015-07-21,16127925,Angela,"We had a delightful stay in this adorable apartment. Just the right size, well-appointed and a great location. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Erica but the pre-arrival email gave us all the instructions we needed for a smooth stay."
2918188,39877274,2015-07-26,477170,Lorissa,"Very chic spot with lovely trees all around.  It was very comfortable and well equipped and very clean. Perfect spot close to S. Congress and many amazing restaurants and shops. Don't need a car, just your walking shoes or Uber. Got an email with lots of instructions and directions before arrival.  Never actually spoke to anyone except when I called their mgmt company to ask for the door code to get in and the wifi password.  They were very helpful. All was great."
2918188,41143567,2015-08-04,30297791,Selange,Amazing place... Honestly the best airbnb I've stayed in. Great location right off of South Congress next to some amazing restaurants... I'm a big fan of Elizabeth's Resturant which was walking distance. I highly recommend this super cute apartment to all those visiting Austin! Hope to return soon! 
2918188,41822247,2015-08-09,11463530,Charlie,"Everything was great! The treehouse is amazing. Love the design of this place. The vaulted ceilings with wood paneling made the place feel very cozy. It's a nice modern studio with a cozy touch. When we walked in, the place even smelled new! Everything was really clean. The kitchen was also well-stocked with tools. The location cannot be beat for this place. S. Congress and 1st street are only a couple a blocks away. Everything on S. Congress is within walking distance. And so much good food very close by as well! 

Communication was a little lacking though. It took a quick call to get the access code and welcome email to property upon arrival. A extremely minor setback to an otherwise very positive experience."
2918188,46044774,2015-09-07,19204666,Ana Maria,"The treehouse is very cute and very clean.  The location couldn't better.  It's in an adorable, quiet neighborhood a block away from the bustling streets of SoCo.  We walked to a ton of different restaurants, shops, and bars, and with the help of some comfy shoes, we were even able to walk to the bridge to watch the famous Austin bats fly out of their day resting space.  This place is very much location, location, location.  

While the actual space is very clean and comfortable enough for two, it didn't have any of the homey touches one usually associates with an Airbnb experience.  For instance, there were a few coffee beans and a water pitcher, but no other beverages, teas, or sugar or creamer.  I do highly recommend this place, but be sure to pack everything you need, because there are few to no extras.  Plus, the check-out of time of 10 am is way too early, but luckily with a phone call, they kindly extended it to 12.  That little touch made for a much, much nicer Sunday morning.  "
2918188,46581091,2015-09-12,15224565,Tommy,"We really loved the Treehouse, it was what we expected, close to Soco but quiet neighbourhood. Fresch bathroom and a grat kitchenarea ( which we didn't use). "
2918188,46906108,2015-09-14,365294,Ashley,"The treehouse was incredible-we did not want to leave.  It was so relaxing and stylish-and designed by a good friend! We will definitely return! It is perfect to walk up to South Congress, have drinks at The San Jose, shop at by george, etc."
2918188,48372162,2015-09-26,27854114,Lynn,Listing description was accurate.  This is a  great location!  Lots to see and do within easy walking distance.
2918188,49304652,2015-10-02,27825567,Jacob,The host canceled this reservation 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2918188,50122316,2015-10-09,45296705,Todd,"The Treehouse Studio was a great place to stay on my first visit to Austin - its in a great location in the SoCo area, it was clean and well furnished making my stay very comfortable ... I would def recommend it"
2918188,50868561,2015-10-15,33003096,Sarah,"I booked this for a colleague and he was very impressed with studio - clean, well designed and an ideal location."
2918188,52515210,2015-10-30,33301454,Dustin,A perfect hideaway in an unbeatable location. The studio is a block off of all the fun of congress St. but feels like a secluded retreat. We had plenty of space the layout is terrific. The place was very clean and perfect for our stay
5046776,27032893,2015-02-23,6778093,Greg,"In short, an amazing venue with warm, gracious hosts, what more can you ask for.  Will, his father and his girlfriend made our stay in Austin truly special.  

We were in town for a sizable bachelor party of about 20 people and not only did we fit in their Airstreams without issue but Will also made sure that we knew the lay of the land and that all of our needs were taken care of. In addition to the sleeping space in the Airstreams, there was also large and well kept common space for us to hang out in, including a screening area with Apple TV for all of our media needs. 

The property is well located on South Congress with ample restaurants, bars and stores a short walk away.  For anything else, we were a quick Uber ride like Rainey, 6th Street, etc...  

I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a unique venue in Austin which can accommodate a large group with a substantial number of beds and bathrooms. You'll have a unique, comfortable stay and you'll be made to feel like family. "
5046776,31888383,2015-05-11,29063976,Jeff,Will is the best.  I don't even know where to get started.  We stayed for my brother's bachelor party and he was a huge help from prior to our arrival to the last day.  I can't wait to come back in the coming years.  This place is a gem.  And the people that run it are some of the nicest people you will meet in your travels.   
5046776,33316557,2015-05-26,4595922,Lyndsey,"I don't even know where to start. Willis was so great! We went to Austin for a bachelorette party over Memorial Day weekend and Willis was more than accommodating. To start, our original home was canceled the week prior to us getting to Austin so we booked his venue last minute and he worked with us on our original budget. I was always able to contact Willis whether it be via airbnb, a call, or text and he was always very quick to reply, even when I had questions about the sound system in the house! The best part was how amazing the house was. We really lucked out. The place was clean, had a huge deck, and was equip with everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for a better host or home for the weekend!"
5046776,47613428,2015-09-21,30102324,Alex,"I was in town with several old college friends for a football game and we stayed at the White Hat. The experience was pretty much perfect. The house is beautiful, clean and very well appointed, the Airstream ""apartments"" were a fun, comfortable and crucial addition to fit our numbers - but Miles, most of all, far exceeded expectations. He was always available, going out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. I can't say enough about how accommodating and generous he was. Also, the property is perfectly located, on South Congress, near several great food, drink and music spots. And bikes are available to ride to the river and elsewhere. It was a great, great trip, and the White Hat - and Miles - were an integral part of that. We would definitely stay here again. "
5046776,50623719,2015-10-13,37734008,Rich,"This property was awesome. Very accurately represented by the description and photos. So creative and unique. Perfect for a large group to hang out in Austin, especially with the central location. Miles was also awesome. He was always around to keep our supplies stocked and to offer some local advice. I was tempted to just ask him to hang out with our group a few times. Id recommend this property to anyone... It's one you will enjoy. "
5046776,51269670,2015-10-19,10087737,Ryan,"Miles and Liz were kind enough to let us have a small wedding at their place, which turned out to be the perfect spot for us.  Their place is a unique Austin gem tucked away on South Congress, nearby so many things to do.  The pictures truly don't do it justice.  Miles and Liz were extremely welcoming and offered to help wherever they could.  Anytime we needed help or had a question, they were always available.  I would highly recommend their place to friends and family.  "
2639623,15734199,2014-07-14,17881181,Brent,"lovely in all categories; neighborhood, setting, location."
2639623,24782923,2015-01-02,3342114,Jami And Joe,Absolutely loved the place! Everything was as described and very enjoyable.  Great communication and extremely positive experience.  
2639623,28168180,2015-03-19,27364498,Maggie,"Just got home from a wonderful visit to Gale's Studio in Austin, TX. I am loath to be as effusive as I would like in case it gets so popular that I don't get back! Kidding!

We were made very welcome, and from the outset knew that this studio would be the home away from home that we would love. Everything you need is there, and more. (A swing!) Thanks to our lovely hosts we have had a memorable visit, and lots of great new stories to tell. Thanks!"
2639623,29619746,2015-04-10,2314689,Tom,"We had a wonderful time at Gale's Artisan's Studio Apartment.  It was exactly as described and pictured, a beautiful space in a nice, quiet, lake community in the Westlake hills.  Gale was a wonderful host, stocking us with fruit, coffee, cheese and crackers, and the house was well stocked with a fridge, all sorts of accoutrement, and she even left current magazines out for us.

The studio was the best part, as it's very spacious, with plenty of room to spread out and relax, wonderful wood support beams throughout, a high ceiling, and, I presume, the owners art on the walls, all serving to inspire a relaxing time.  It's a quick drive to get down town or wherever you're going, but quiet and peaceful compared with the busier parts of Austin.

Highly recommended if you're looking for this type of retreat!"
2639623,46088488,2015-09-07,24953154,Angel & Merilyn,"It was a little slice of retreat heaven,exactly what we needed for our 4 day getaway. Gale and Bill are great host, we even got to chat with them over home made apple pie. The place is exactly like the pictures. Highly recommend this place if you visit Austin. We were about 15 minutes from Mozart, Hula Hut. About 20 minutes from Barton springs and Zilker park. Gale was very accommodating, and we even had welcome treats like chocolate, teas, fruit, popcorn, and wine. "
2639623,51130399,2015-10-18,14405718,Geoff,"Perfect Airbnb experience.  This apartment is beautiful... the pictures can't convey quite how nicely the space has been architected and decorated!  Beautiful vaulted ceilings, great furniture and lovely artwork.  It's also spotlessly clean and completely equipped.  Gale and her family couldn't be nicer or more accommodating.  The location is peaceful and surrounded by nature but also convenient to central Austin.... no downsides! Book it!"
7074207,48347124,2015-09-25,44448092,Julie,"I can't say enough nice things about my stay here.  The shared and private spaces are beautiful and comfortable, and Anna was very helpful/accommodating while being conscientious about my needs for space and privacy.  I take public transportation and found the most popular areas of the city easily accessible with two bus connections.  Getting around by bus takes some time but I like taking in the scenery and talking with the people I meet.  I definitely recommend staying with Anna if you're in the area and looking for a place to stay and relax!"
7074207,48851769,2015-09-28,45097045,Chaitra,"This was my first experience with AirBnb and so I was a tad nervous about the whole stay in another person's house situation, but I am so happy I picked Anna- She is an amazing host who has nothing but the well being of her guest at heart! I would recommend Anna's residence to any guest who wants to feel at home and comfortable through their trip. Thanks Anna for making Austin so homely for me! :)"
7074207,49824846,2015-10-06,44469933,Zach,Anna is awesome! This was my first time using air bnb and she couldn't have made it any easier. She communicates well and her place is adorable. Saying she treats you like a roommate is spot on.  She gave me space while still being friendly and accommodating. I felt like I crashed at a friend's.
7074207,50519208,2015-10-12,9524587,Ingrit,"Awesome host. Beautiful house. Ana is truly the best host in Austin, the house is super clean, comfy, and she is extremely kind. I totally recommend you staying with her. The neighborhood is very quiet and you can rest after a rushed day in Austin. If you are driving it's very easy and fast getting downtown, lots of Austin's restaurants are near the house. Anna is the best."
7074207,52092916,2015-10-26,44836348,Jacqueline,"This was my first experience with an airBnb rental and I was extremely pleased. The host’s place is an adorable clean ranch in a very safe neighborhood. The host has bowls of candy and treats in several places, as well as drinks in the refrigerator for guests. There are notes literally everywhere answering questions that may come up upon arrival. The bedroom is a tad small, but very clean and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is your own and is also clean. "
7074207,52905909,2015-11-02,46941955,Mike,"Good place to stay.  Host is sweet and friendly.  She had all the basic necessities of a hotel including food, water, bath towels, and more."
5693812,28198022,2015-03-19,29477860,Darryl,Beautiful place. Welcoming host. Love the backyard. Comfortable bed. It's was a simple yet mesmerizing experience that I would embark upon again. Give it a shot.
5693812,28291527,2015-03-21,12509840,Tohfe,"Stephanie is a really great host, the space is a very cute guest house in the back of Stephanie's home. It's very clean and comfortable and has everything you need for a short stay in Austin. Location was great as well 5-10 minutes from everywhere I needed to go. "
5693812,28367315,2015-03-22,22694128,Kristina,"Stephanie was incredibly responsive and accommodating.  The studio was exactly as described, very clean and neat.  Stephanie made great efforts to prepare the studio and even equipped it with fresh flowers, snacks and water.  I would recommend the location without hesitation.  "
5693812,28636175,2015-03-27,5305279,Greg,"Stephanie was so nice and welcoming. She gave great recommendations on restaurants, cafes, and places to work. She even brought me breakfast in the morning!

The house was very nice and private. Stephanie provided everything you could possibly need (including a few cold beers in the fridge)."
5693812,28833636,2015-03-30,29582659,Brandon,Stephanie was very welcoming and the studio apt was incredible chill and convenient for attending a conference downtown.  It was a great experience.
5693812,29325868,2015-04-06,7524720,Adrian,"Stephanie--and her place--were wonderful!  The studio is spacious and peaceful, and Stephanie did SO many little things to make us feel welcome--from leaving a basket of snacks (including some local treats) to offering us fresh-squeeze juice in the mornings.  The location was also great, and perfect for our purposes (exploring various Austin neighborhoods before moving to town).  I can't recommend Stephanie's studio highly enough!"
5693812,29532239,2015-04-08,12923793,Don,Good communication. Easy check in process. Great parking. The space is excellent. Very comfortable and clean. The private bathroom is a nice touch. I highly recommend booking this space. Thanks! 
5693812,29769630,2015-04-12,29882524,Blake,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I'm confident it will remain the best, regardless of how many more I have.  The space is perfect and has everything you need and more.  Stephanie is wonderful.  If you need recommendations, she's got your back.  If you'd like some fresh-squeezed juice, she makes the best.  If you like dogs, Chief is a sweetheart.  If you don't like dogs, he's totally laid back and won't bother you.  

Seriously, look no further.  This is the perfect place to stay.  So, close all those other tabs you have open and make your reservation with Stephanie.  You won't regret it!  "
5693812,30223433,2015-04-19,18812423,Dawn,"I had a wonderful stay in Stephanie’s guest house this past weekend.  It was spacious, clean, quiet and very private.  Stephanie was amazingly easy to work with and had great communication with me every step of the way, before and during my stay.  The location was fantastic, close to downtown Austin and UT, in a beautiful neighborhood.  I loved the birds singing outside in the trees.  The guest house had a kitchenette stocked with coffee, tea and several snacks.  The bed was very comfortable.  Stephanie was a gracious hostess.  I definitely recommend this property for a peaceful getaway in Austin."
5693812,30569525,2015-04-24,14166288,Adam,A great place to stay. I enjoyed my first stay there. Very clean and comfortable. Stephanie was a welcoming host. 
5693812,31203318,2015-05-03,15736339,Clayton,"Stephanie was a fantastic hostess. The day I arrived she had a basket of treats laid out for me and a fun variety of drinks in the refrigerator. 

Her place was clean and very comfortable, and the neighborhoods within walking distance were some of the nicest I've seen in Austin.

I would recommend this place in a heartbeat."
5693812,31611865,2015-05-07,23754290,Beatrice,"What a lovely oasis! We felt welcome, safe and relaxed in Stephanie's Backyard hide-a-way. The studio was bright and airy and looked onto a private backyard shared with the main house. There were yummy snacks and great bath products!

She is a genuine person who loves dogs and welcomed our 4lb senior chihuahua with open arms. Her great dane, Chief was a lovely ambassador!
"
5693812,32066215,2015-05-13,3687822,Sofia,Stephanie was very communicative throughout the whole process... Even when I was a little freaked out about the weather during our trip. She provided an excellent selection of yummy goodies & toiletries. She even gave us some local morning pastries! I didn't get to meet her but my husband did & only had great things to say. 
5693812,32541188,2015-05-19,12083181,Trish,"We had a great time staying at Stephanie's lovely studio! She thoughtfully left a selection of snacks and drinks for us. The space is very clean and roomy; with a nice bathroom (that even had lots of mini all-natural toiletries!). It does get quite hot, though, and we found the window A/C unit to be very loud—a minor concern. Just a heads-up: you do need a car or will be relying on Uber (we never paid more than $10-$15 a trip). The location is lovely but a bit of a hike from downtown or South Congress. Stephanie was great, super-communicative and easy to get in touch with. We can't wait to go back to Austin!"
5693812,32859339,2015-05-22,9812254,Cavan,"Great place, cute and roomy! Stephanie was super friendly and accommodating, would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Plus if you're a dog lover, Chief is the best!"
5693812,32891722,2015-05-23,2117067,Jennifer,"Stephanie's studio was perfect for us! Great location in a safe neighborhood near UT (we were visiting for a family graduation ceremony so this was great!) We never got to meet Stephanie but she made us feel very welcomed nonetheless. In addition to leaving some yummy Austin muffins for us, she also left a variety of snacks and even a graduation cookie, which was so thoughtful! The coffee/tea setup was also great since we had to leave quite early in the morning and needed the caffeine. The place was very clean and nicely decorated. If we need a place to stay in Austin again, we will certainly be back to Stephanie's place :)"
5693812,33276784,2015-05-26,10239909,Mary,"Stephanie is a great host. Her studio was an awesome little space in Austin. It was very clean and welcoming. There was lots of special touches like fresh flowers, and local treats. It's in a cute neighborhood, and accessible to everywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely recommend this studio to anyone visiting Austin! "
5693812,37247747,2015-07-05,36984910,Todd,Wonderful host studio and location.  Can't say enough great things.  Wondrtful timr
5693812,37891886,2015-07-11,5186330,Jake,"Stephanie was the perfect host and made us feel extremely welcome. The Clarksville location is unbeatable- we walked almost everywhere we needed to go. The tiny house is if anything even nicer than we expected- cute, clean, and very comfortable. I hate to go on about how lovely it was because I want this place to be available every time I visit Austin!"
5693812,40776372,2015-08-02,7133814,Heather,"Staying at the Clarksville cutie has been our best airbnb experience so far. Stephanie was a fantastic host and couldn't have made us feel more welcome. The place was comfortable, spotless and well appointed. She even stocked the fridge and left us a welcome box of muffins on arrival! Totally above and beyond what we would normally expect. Great local places to eat in walking distance. We would go out of our way to recommend anyone stays here."
5693812,47187863,2015-09-16,5186330,Jake,Yet another perfect stay- we love Stephanie's tiny house! Just walking through the door after arriving in town made us feel immediately relaxed and happy. We can't wait to stay again next time we visit.
5693812,47757561,2015-09-21,42056454,Philip,"We had a great trip to Austin and we couldn't have asked for a better Airbnb firs time experience.  Stephanie added al of the personal touches (too many to list) to make it very comfortable.  The cottage itself is clean and cute and open.  The neighborhood is fantastic with some great restaurants, cafes and even a market all within walking distance.  If you are a runner, its a great place to access the Johnson Creek Greenbelt which you can take all the way to Zilcher Park trails and the river. One day we walked to Barton Springs pool. We opted not to rent a car but Uber'd it and that worked out really well and cheap with no hassles.  Would go back there next time to Austin."
5693812,48729664,2015-09-28,41726095,Jimena,"This was my first time with Abnb, and i loved it, stephanie was amazing, we felt at home since hellow! Everything very clean snd nice. We got some sorprises every morning! I mean it was perfect, for sure I'll stay there again. Thanks for everething!!!"
5693812,49602092,2015-10-05,26492869,Tara,"My boyfriend and I came to Austin for the ACL music fest. We were able to walk or uber downtown very easily and had such a nice stay at Stephanie's home. The neighborhood was very pretty and people were very nice. Stephanie left us all types of treats, traveler information, and made us feel very welcome. "
5693812,50439773,2015-10-12,19843037,Patrick,"We stayed at Stephanie's place for Austin City Limits music festival, and it was absolutely perfect. The unit is very nice, the location can't be beat, and Stephanie went above and beyond to be a phenomenal host. I'll be hoping to stay here next time I'm in Austin"
5693812,51304752,2015-10-19,12847295,Isla,"Quiet, spacious and well-located, this garden cottage couldn't have been more perfect for our needs. You get the benefit of a private space (important for us because we're porting around a newborn) with all the warmth of a truly generous and gracious hostess. 

The place was stocked with staples and treats and it was easy to see that Stephanie had thought through the needs of her guests. She was kind and considerate - discreetly checking in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. And the two dogs in the yard were both sweet and laid back - they were happy to have love and pets and also let us be when we were ready.

We'll definitely stay here again."
5693812,51846032,2015-10-24,18248663,Danielle,"This was an ideal place for us to get away and enjoy Austin. The cottage is located in sweet neighborhood and only few minutes by car to downtown. Stephanie made us feel welcome with notes, flowers, and goodies galore. Even cold beers and beverages in the fridge! Comfy bed, nice bathroom.. As an airbnb host myself, I was very impressed! Thanks again, Stephanie."
5693812,52311670,2015-10-28,35112704,Daniela,"Stephanie was an outstanding host and was so helpful in every respect possible. Our trip to Austin was amazing and what made it even better was that we were fortunate enough to come back to this place every night, what a find!"
5693812,52715771,2015-11-01,7024692,Olivier,Best host I ever had soo far. She is really kind and attentive. She provided us everything we needed and even more. The place was cute and clean. I definitely be back the next time im in Austin!
5679269,33808502,2015-06-01,7140999,Carlos,"Cathy was an excellent host and one of the best I've had so far!  She was welcoming, attentive, her house was clean and comfy (as promised).  She provided places to visit and eat in the area and how to get around.  Without a doubt, I would absolutely recommend staying with Cathy. She's great!"
6870728,36337303,2015-06-27,35345957,Justin,Valerie was a great host.  She is very knowledgable about Austin and even took me out to a local honkey tonk.  Her house is clean and in a great location - only about 10 minutes from downtown.  I highly recommend you stay here if you are looking for a home in a great location with a great host!
6870728,36643697,2015-06-29,459336,Nancy,Valerie was everything you would want in a host! Would definitely stay at her home again.
6870728,37269953,2015-07-05,37339104,Angela,"Valerie was a great communicator, which made my first airbnb experience really smooth. We only met for a few minutes but she was welcoming and told me all I needed to know about the house, which is quite charming. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was fantastic. She even put out a clean towel for me. I liked the city guide on the side table; it was a nice touch. 
If you are visiting Austin, you will probably want a car if you stay here. I had a lovely stay! "
6870728,37436547,2015-07-06,18493244,Val,"Valerie was a great host! I was especially impressed when she offered to give me a ride downtown, despite traffic on a busy weekend. She was so willing to help and quick to recommend places to see. I'd definitely recommend! "
6870728,39089273,2015-07-20,1826829,Becky,Valerie and her roommate were great hosts! They invited me to hang out and advised on places to eat in the city. The place is clean and well decorated and the bed is like a big cloud. The backyard is beautiful... and who doesn't want to hang out with a new baby kitten?
6870728,44913365,2015-08-30,14720890,Peter,"Valerie was a wonderful host. The room was exactly as described. I was there for 6 weeks and she provided plenty of space, lots of advice, and the right amount of social interaction. I would go back in a heartbeat. "
353955,1003313,2012-03-15,316879,Warren,"The place was beautiful.  Located in a gated apartment community in the hills, the apartment was quiet, and nestled inside of a nature preserve.  Very private and surrounded by trees, the mornings were peaceful.  Mykel was kind enough to leave us all we needed - including some coffee and breakfast items.  Its a full two bedroom apartment with 2 full bathrooms, one master bath with a separate glassed in shower.  Clean, tidy, and roomy.  The living room has cable and wifi (which was not working when we were there for some technical reason that they did rectify) and a working fireplace (which we didnt use - but were tempted to).    Ample parking out front of the building. 
Very simple and easy drive to downtown Austin.  Took us about 15 minutes tops in the morning - and simple directions - basically two main roads got us into Austin.  
We loved this place, and if we were not staying there for SXSW we would have lounged around in the apartment all morning.   if you are going to Austin and want to make it a bit of a quiet and peaceful home away from home experience, this is a great place to stay.

Overall, the house was extremely nice. I would definitely stay there again!"

Good deal for the price. 
He has installed a curtain that makes the space semi-private which is nice.

I only stayed a few hours and slept before my flight and didn't even meet the owner. He had programmed the door with a code. I came, slept and left! "
5660966,30432356,2015-04-21,31420148,Rahul,"Nice neighborhood. Lots of open spaces. John replied promptly to all my questions. He left a towel for me which was a nice touch. There's a nice ceiling fan that blasts air which is great for me. Wifi worked perfectly, so too the shower. +1"
5660966,30750048,2015-04-26,31860557,Bella,"As Airbnb first timers, my brother and I truly enjoyed John's hospitality despite his absence. Everything was very straight forward (rules wise) and your friend (whose name I forget, pardon me) was a wonderful host. She was warm, made us comfortable, and chatted us up late at night. Please pass our appreciation to her. The location and neighborhood were perfect. Thanks for the linen and extremely comfy crash pad!

Annabelle"
5660966,31849688,2015-05-10,31420148,Rahul,Another pleasant stay! Used the kitchen this time and ironing board is easily accessible for looking sharp.  Key code makes for easy access and not worrying if I locked up after myself.
5660966,34044435,2015-06-03,33771318,Joel,"Jonn is a pleasant, accommodating host.  The bed was soft and comfortable, and a curtain made the sleeping area private enough for my liking.  Other guests were quiet and almost invisible. For a clean, comfortable place to stay, at a VERY reasonable price, I recommend this one!"
5660966,34593681,2015-06-09,33771318,Joel,The second time staying here was just as pleasant and comfortable as the first.  
5660966,36150932,2015-06-25,36297765,Alyssa,John made me feel welcomed. I loved the area the house is located at. Listing was accurate! 
5660966,36428451,2015-06-28,27756445,Naomi,"Jonn was very accomdating, polite, and in a great neighborhood! Wish I would have stayed longer. Quiet, clean, comfty, cozy place. The crash pad surpassed my expectations. Thanks to the young lady who gave us a promo for LYFT!

Thanks again!"
5660966,37936640,2015-07-11,37961586,Connor,Very welcoming and friendly 
5660966,38089192,2015-07-12,38191554,Kinsey,John was absolutely fantastic. He made it very easy for us to come and go and was VERY fast with responding. We had a very last minute trip come up and John was fully prepared and ready to welcome us into the home.
5660966,39344842,2015-07-22,33771318,Joel,"Always a pleasant experience.  Comfortable accommodations, great host, quiet neighborhood.  "
5660966,41568510,2015-08-07,33362259,Lance,Wonderful. John approved our last minute request in a timely manner and we saved a ton from what a decent hotel would have cost us. Will not hesitate to contact on any further outings. A quiet comfortable nights sleep awaits anyone who snags this spot. Thanks John! 
5660966,42948785,2015-08-16,40243275,Siu Kei,"Seven Days, great, comfortable, quiet.  Environment is good."
5660966,43736612,2015-08-21,36618284,Sean,Excellent host! Couldn't ask for anyone better! :)
5660966,44398350,2015-08-25,33771318,Joel,"Jonn leaves fresh towels on a clothing rack next to the bed.  He enjoys good conversation, if you're feeling talkative. Any time I stay here, Jonn is around to take care of anything I need.  "
5660966,44511533,2015-08-26,24907727,Anna,Everything was great! 
5660966,45042160,2015-08-30,42410004,Matthew,Cheap! Clean! Parking! Friendly!
5660966,45541675,2015-09-03,33771318,Joel,"Another pleasant experience (I've been back so many times, I've list count). Such a clean, comfortable place, with a gracious and accommodating host.  "
5660966,46459484,2015-09-10,22457423,Marcus,"Host was quick to respond, accepted in a matter of minutes. Room was sufficiently clean, did not encounter any issues during stay. It's a very quiet environment, I was not disturbed at any point. Host quickly and thoroughly answered any questions regarding home. "
5660966,46687710,2015-09-12,22611950,Caroline,"Clean, safe, and very comfortable bed. I enjoyed my stay although short, very much."
5660966,47137556,2015-09-15,18935381,Aleph,"Highly recommend Jonn's place! It's clean, comfortable and you feel like home. Jonn was always available and helped me to explore Austin."
5660966,47337676,2015-09-17,33771318,Joel,"This was the eighth time I have stayed at Jonn's place.  He makes everything about the experience easy and enjoyable.  The place is always clean, and the bed is VERY comfortable.  He is a very accommodating host.  The place is quiet, and it's situated in a quiet neighborhood.  Jonn is interesting to converse with if you have time for conversation.  I know I'll be coming back to Austin in the near future, and if Jonn's ""Crash Pad"" is available, you can be sure that THAT'S where I'll be staying!"
5660966,48489891,2015-09-26,14580887,Zvi,We had a great time. The set up was well planned and the house was meticulously prepared for hosting guests comfortably.
5660966,48668549,2015-09-27,22611950,Caroline,"This was the second time Ive stayed here, and it wont be my last. John is a wonderful host. He helped me when I was having phone troubles early in the morning, I would have been stuck if it wasn't for him. His hospitality is very much appreciated! I would recommend anyone passing through the Austin area to stay here. "
5660966,50020463,2015-10-08,39203600,Dan,Another relaxing stay at Jonn's place. I had stayed at the master bedroom before. This time I slept in the crash pad. The bed is so comfortable. Nice having a tall shower too. I finally got to meet Jonn last night. Very nice guy. It's interesting how he was willing to let me be a guest in his home without meeting me. Says a lot about the kind of person he is. 
5660966,50196164,2015-10-10,29891559,Sarah,"We had a very comfortable stay at John's place. We were able to come and go as we needed. Comfy bed, clean bathroom and towels - all we needed for a one night stay!"
5660966,50413175,2015-10-11,38126411,Carla,"Foi perfeito, lugar limpo cama super confortável! Pretendemos voltar em breve! Obrigada Jonn!"
5660966,50609475,2015-10-12,45929998,Katie,"Despite not getting to meet John in person, I was able to tell how well liked he is by the notes left by other satisfied patrons! His home was cozy and exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay tremendously! This will definitely be a stop for us in the future!"
5660966,51967846,2015-10-25,5287908,Pranjal,John's crashpad was exactly as advertised. No frills and very comfortable with even a small TV! There was very no disturbance from the others guests something which I was worried about since the crashpad only had a curtain separating from the common walkway. Overall a very enjoyable experience for the kind of money I was spending.
5660966,52279332,2015-10-27,12912042,Jeff,Jonn was a perfect host! I arrived early in the morning to an offer of hot cocoa and tour before passing out in bed. The bed and room was super comfy and best sleep I've had in a while.  Definitely a great home for any traveler to Austin looking to rest or explore the city a little outside town.
5660966,52388815,2015-10-28,46424847,Loree,"Jonn was extremely accommodating. I made a last minute decision to stay in Austin and Jonn was able to take care of everything in time. The room is very comfortable. Be warned though, the bed is extremely comfy. You may never want to leave. I highly recommend."
5660966,53157942,2015-11-05,47910111,Krishnan,Jonn had provided everything as expected and I had a nice stay there. Would definitely go back if an opportunity comes !!
4838933,27312789,2015-03-01,27713842,Teo,This little lovely home was perfect for me and my gf. Peter had the place very clean and with all the things one could ask for including snacks! The description of the home was very accurate. 
4838933,27422283,2015-03-03,18648427,Dave,Great place to stay!
4838933,27454807,2015-03-04,18648427,Dave,"Cozy, charming place to stay! Peter was extremely helpful and attentive to all the little details and really did his best to make our stay comfortable and fun!"
4838933,27702218,2015-03-09,9264663,Melissa,Peter and Annie have a lovely studio in their backyard. They were both very lovely hosts with a lot of knowledge about the area and very accommodating to our requests. The studio is very cozy and spacious and has all the amenities we could have asked for. 
4838933,27851190,2015-03-13,16109525,David,Peter and Annie were awesome every step of the way! Booking was so easy as Peter was so responsive! Also the actual room is great for folks traveling to Austin! It has everything you need and is so convenient to anywhere in the city really! Peter and Annie were around the house in the afternoon if we needed anything and were always there to lend a suggestion on something to do the next day I'd need be! I loved my experience staying with them and would do it again any time I was in the area! Thanks again Peter and Annie!
4838933,27897467,2015-03-14,7172055,Modesta,"Peter's back house is even more lovely than I imagined. The room was immaculate and stocked with fresh flowers, a couple of cold beers, and coffee. Don't be afraid of the compost toilet. It's very well maintained and clean. Only wish I had more time in Austin. Will def book this place again when I revisit with my boyfriend. Thanks again for a peaceful retreat in the midst of SXSW madness! "
4838933,27974473,2015-03-15,2036814,Sarah Gertrude,"This place is the real deal. Peter takes hosting seriously and professionally. They have clear instructions on everything, thoughtful amenities liked chilled bottled water, fruit, tea etc it's quiet, peaceful, super friendly hosts and dogs -- the composting toilet is the real deal too. They maintain it well and overall just well cared for, great communicator and easy stay. "
4838933,28100308,2015-03-17,28759661,Monte,"The place was great and completely as advertised.  All the amenities you need, comfy bed, shower products, clean towels, toothpaste, plates & silverware, and even cold beer & filtered water waiting for you in the fridge.  The outdoor shower was really cool, and it had plenty of hot water with great pressure.  The toilet, even though it's in an outhouse and a compost toilet, it wasn't messy, it did not smell, and it got the job done.  The host was very accommodating, even letting my dog out for me while I was gone.  I would definitely recommend to others and return in the future.

"
4838933,28223253,2015-03-20,14909112,Elliott,"This place was AWESOME! My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 days during SX and it was a wonderful trip. We got to the room clean and stocked with snacks, coffee, tea, and beer. Peter and his now Fiancé were great hosts! Always just a call away and very friendly. The outside shower between 10-11am is PERFECT! The sun is hitting you while you feel so refreshed by the water. Quick 5-10 minute uber to downtown-- overall the stay was just phenomenal "
4838933,28574962,2015-03-26,6439588,Andy,"The place was great. It was a wonderful little room to come settle into each evening after a full day of work. And there's nothing in the world like showering outside. Peter is a great host and was very accommodating with all my needs. The pictures are very accurate and there's a lovely garden to enjoy in the morning while waking up. 
Thanks Peter!"
4838933,28733316,2015-03-29,28982653,Steve,"We didn't really know to expect when we booked this lovely home. We wanted something a little different and got way more than we expected!! Peter and Annie were tremendous hosts....mostly Annie because Peter was working much of the time! Sorry man. They were both extremely friendly and helpful with things to do in the area! My wife said she liked the thoughtful touches! Flowers, breakfast bars, magazines and water in the fridge! If you want to get the ""Austin feel"", this is a great place to stay! Thanks Peter and Annie. Well done!!! "
4838933,29063160,2015-04-03,4744724,Rachel,"The studio was a great space to stay for the night! It's a cozy spot, not difficult to get to at all, close to public transit. Peter was a great host, he patiently answered all our questions, and provided us with a lovely space to stay. We'd love to come back again!"
4838933,30143383,2015-04-18,29413582,Joel,"My wife and I stayed in Peter's backyard studio for one night and we loved it. The pictures gave perfectly accurate expectations for the space. Everything was laid out and ready for us, from snacks to toiletries. Everything was clean and in its place. The highlight of the space is the outdoor shower. I've never experienced something like that, I would book this space again just to take another one. Peter communicated clearly and promptly and made my first air bnb experience very pleasant. Highly recommend!"
4838933,30595438,2015-04-24,31681888,Thomas,Had a great stay! 
4838933,30775515,2015-04-27,16177142,Alice,I stayed at Peter's backyard studio for 3 nights. The studio was so adorable. I loved the whole set up and it was completely Eco-friendly. Peter and Annie were great hosts. They made great recommendations and were very welcoming. I would definitely come back the next time I'm in Austin.
4838933,31280870,2015-05-03,739295,Marty,"The appointments and attention to detail for the room were super. I had no problems with anything during my stay and particularly enjoyed seeing the garden and the awesome outdoor shower (great pressure & hot water!). I booked fairly late on a Saturday afternoon and all communications in the few hours before my arrival were smooth. I was traveling solo this time, but would be happy to stay here next time in Austin with my wife. In terms on neighborhood recommendations, I was walking to Contigo but stopped at the Skylark Lounge and never went further.

I enjoyed going to the Skylark Lounge "
4838933,31416488,2015-05-04,23117571,Lauren,"We stayed at Peter & Annie's place for a night. Awesome experience! The place was exactly as the pictures suggested, and Peter and Annie were excellent hosts.  We shared drinks on their patio, and very much enjoyed hanging out with the both of them and their dogs. Next time we're in Austin this is where we'll stay! "
4838933,32040008,2015-05-12,17217733,Micayla,"Hosts, neighborhood, and studio was beyond perfect. They could be charging a lot more for this adorable, eco-friendly, beautifully designed and inspiring guest home. The hosts made themselves available to us even though our arrival time kept changing. They provided helpful suggestions for places to eat and get a drink. The studio was super clean and my fiancé and I slept wonderfully. The outdoor shower was super cool. We would LOVE to come back and stay here!"
4838933,32056532,2015-05-13,12240006,Laura,"Our experience was nothing less than spectacular, even with the bad weather! The outdoor (heated) shower was a nice touch and the accommodations were cozy and just what we were looking for after a busy day of exploring the city. Peter was helpful with recommendations & their home is beautifully unique- just like the city.   "
4838933,33297549,2015-05-26,12167012,Britti,"East Austin Charmer was magical, comfortable, peaceful, and A charming place to stay in Austin. Has everything you need for 1-2 people! Host are soooo nice and accommodating! Nothing more to ask for and a great price! "
4838933,33699003,2015-05-31,4883305,Crista,"This place couldn't be any more adorable than it already is. I was impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of this backyard cabin. The outdoor shower was awesome, and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would DEFINITELY Tay here again, and hope to do so!"
4838933,34827037,2015-06-12,1760051,Mark,"Our one day in Austin was such a pleasure thanks to Peter and Annie. Looking back, I'm not sure if they were AirBnB hosts or long-lost friends. For starters, the little studio is quite lovely — comfortable, cute, and well-appointed. We were happy to be able to bring our dogs and they were very comfortable left in the studio. The neighborhood is  perfectly located — a quick drive downtown but quiet at night, a short walk from a number of great restaurants and bars off Manor Road. In the evening, we joined Peter and Annie at the local Thursday night trivia followed by a late-night meal. Was really more like visiting old friends. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone passing through Austin. "
4838933,34981617,2015-06-14,32376872,Chase,"We had such a wonderful time staying here! The street parking was safe and accessible. The owners really maximize the space and allow for total comfort in this cozy room. It's certainly big enough to not feel cramped, which was our concern from the photos. The projector along with their collection of movies makes for a great night in. The composting toilet was easy to use; however, you will have to take a short walk outside to use it. It makes those waking-up-in-middle-of-the-night bathroom trips all the more annoying. This was the only thing I disliked about our stay, but I would certainly encourage anyone to book here!"
4838933,35438906,2015-06-18,18465620,Milo,"Great little space with loads of character! Tons of personal touches that made the place very welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay here and the hosts could not have been more accommodating. The outdoor shower and bathroom might sound daunting, but I assure you it was very nice and enjoyable. A great place to stay in a convenient location. Thanks for a great stay! "
4838933,35912196,2015-06-23,11403846,Gracie,"Peter and Annie were brilliant hosts. They made it easy to organise our arrival. They made our time in Austin extra special with their hospitality. The location is super convenient, close to the airport, close to the action. We appreciated fresh towels, local magazines and hot tips about where to eat and drink. The studio is comfortable, pretty and perfect size for a couple, the outdoor shower was a highlight, the garden is very lovely. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. Thanks guys  x"
4838933,37884730,2015-07-11,14733854,Stephanie,Our stay at the East Austin Charmer was better than we bargained for. It was so comfortable and Peter was such a fantastic host. And we especially loved the outdoor shower and the movie projector :) Would love to stay here again the next time we're in Austin!
4838933,42808261,2015-08-15,4845112,Micah,"Peter was an awesome host! My boyfriend Caleb and I loved the space he had crafted. It was all very unique, clean, and well decorated. He has created a very earth friendly environment and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. Beautiful spot!"
4838933,43331470,2015-08-18,27184901,Kelsey,Awesome first time in Austin! Was definitely a little worried about the bathroom situation ( I'm a high maintenance kinda gal) and it all was no problem at all and now I prefer an outdoor shower to an indoor any day of the week. The place was just as it was pictured! so cute and plenty of room in the backyard for our pup to play! Peters dogs were super friendly and he was super helpful with pointing us in the right direction for food and night time activities! The uber was 5 bucks to get to 6th street and I would highly suggest this place to anyone visiting Austin! 
4838933,43737727,2015-08-21,5777846,Will,The experience with Peter was perfect; we needed a last minute accommodation and he helped out. The place is really neat too. 
4838933,44268251,2015-08-24,5992678,Johnny,"Peter's place is extremely beautiful and both he and his wife are very helpful and accommodating. The room is super pretty and beautifully furnished, while his outdoor shower was so refreshing in the Austin summer. I would not hesitate to go back here and stay again at Peter's East Austin Charmer!"
4838933,44399433,2015-08-25,8736933,Chelsea,"My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience in this place. Near the city and very comfortable! Peter and his wife were both extremely accommodating and gave us some great recommendations for dinner.

Afterwords we finished the night with a movie on the projector, and fell asleep in our cool little apartment for the night.
 "
4838933,44617893,2015-08-27,42394191,Carlos,Amazing experience at this East Austin Charmer. The whole experience is extremely well curated and unique. The outdoor shower is reason enough to book! Will definitely be back.

4838933,45020961,2015-08-30,20137821,Daniela,"Peter and his wife were extremely nice and helpful. The place is just like it looks in the pictures and it was perfect! My fiancé and I went down to Austin for the weekend and we needed something small and quiet and the best part was that we were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. The place is a small guest house in their yard and it had everything we needed, it was super cozy and comfortable and extremely Eco-friendly which we loved. We would definitely recommend their place!"
4838933,45761389,2015-09-05,12197061,Kiersten,Beautiful and cozy! The hosts were great and gave us everything we could have possibly needed.
4838933,46057397,2015-09-07,42795586,Jonathan,"This is a wonderful place that made my visit to Austin even better than I had hoped for. Access to the room was very simple, street parking was safe and easy. The room is cozy and beautifully furnished, and I loved the outdoor toilet and shower. I only met the host on my way in but she was super sweet. I'll definitely have this place in mind when I visit Austin again. "
4838933,47380441,2015-09-18,6396747,Joel,"My wife and I had a great stay at Peter's place. Peter and Annie were very responsive to any requests, and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They also provided lots of good info on places to go, where to eat, etc., and even took us with them on a trip to the park to walk the dogs. 
The apartment was wonderful, and just as advertised. It was clean and comfortable, and we loved the outdoor shower! They request using natural soaps, since the water is also used to water plants, but they provide multiple options for you, even shampoo for color treated hair (which my wife appreciated). The composting toilet was easy to use, and no problem at all. We were close to several restaurants and bars, and an easy drive from downtown, Congress Ave., 6th street, etc. 
All in all we had a great experience, and I would recommend staying with Peter and Annie if you are visiting Austin."
4838933,47874773,2015-09-21,44091113,Whitney,"Peter met early with me to give me the run down of the studio, the shower/toilet setup and his backyard; he is so nice! Super cute place, absolutely splitting to the photos. Beers and chilled water in the fridge, complete with all your coffee needs. The bed is fantastic to lounge in, you might find yourself in it a bit longer than you planned. A very relaxing spot to return to after a night out in the town!"
4838933,48599482,2015-09-27,9384076,Jeffrey And Kimberly,The place was incredibly cute and Peter was very welcoming.  The outdoor shower and composting toilet made for great Austin memories.  The room itself was comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. Check in and check out were a breeze.  We had a great time!
4838933,49489470,2015-10-04,1389603,Sumer,"I came to Austin for the ACL festival and was so lucky to find this lovely space to rest my head! The room was cozy with everything we could have needed. Taking a shower in the morning sun was spectacular and we loved that so much of the space was eco friendly. 

Overall great stay! It will definitely be my first choice the next time im in Austin 
"
4838933,50371523,2015-10-11,33211603,Elizabeth,"My boyfriend and I had wonderful time in Austin, we were so thankful to have found such a charming place. It was everything we imagined and more. We will be back, the hosts were wonderful and gave us great suggestions of places to eat and things to do. You can't go wrong with a place like this. Can't wait for our next trip and another experience at this East Austin Charmer. LOCATION was spectacular as well! "
4838933,51155918,2015-10-18,33734801,Caitlin,"The East Austin Charmer is great, it looks exactly like the pictures.  Peter and Annie are cool, nice, and accommodating.  The outdoor shower is fun and refreshing!"
4838933,51518252,2015-10-20,25007081,Maria,"My partner and I had a great time staying at Peter and Annie's place, it was definitely an East Austin charmer! They were very accommodating and kind people. The house was adorable and the highlight of our stay was using a compostable toilet for the first time! Their place is so unique compared to anything else we have ever come across. Ultimately, I love how self-sustaining their place is, you'll definitely feel good staying here!"
4838933,52949306,2015-11-02,47066901,Jake,"We had a great time at peters! He met us upon our arrival and gave us a quick run down of the studio, outdoor shower and composting toilet. The space is very cute and comfortable, the outdoor shower was awesome and the toilet was super user friendly. We would definitely stay here again! "
4838933,53037093,2015-11-03,47919822,Jenny,"This place really is a charmer and quite cozy to boot. I was only there for a really short stay so I cannot comment on all the details in a thorough  way. But for the time I was there, it was a lovely, cozy place to stay. It took me a minute to figure out the compost commode and Im still not entirely sure I used it correctly (fingers crossed, and my apologies to Peter if not). But it was another part of the quirky sustainable charm of this place, along with the outdoor shower. The backyard, where the cottage is situated, was a whimsical little oasis as well,  with chickens to boot. And Peter was readily available and flexible in accommodating me when my travel plans did not go as expected and my arrival was later than planned.  I felt safe and comfortable and would stay here again. 

In addition to it being a great place to stay, Peter was also a great host who took the time to walk me through all the conveniences and very accommodating in working around my adjusted arrival time. Id definitely recommend this place to friends and other travelers looking for coZy spot to land."
4838933,53163671,2015-11-05,4924007,Andrea,Everything was as described when I arrived. Peter was really helpful and gave me super instructions.  He also left a couple beers in the fridge! Much needed after a long drive.  The outdoor shower is great. They have two very sweet dogs too.  All around great stay for a good rate. Exactly what I needed for the evening. 
860792,3780130,2013-03-14,267549,Christian,Janine and Chuck were incredibly warm and helpful from the beginning of making the booking through leaving the house. We couldn't have wished for anything more from our stay in Austin.
860792,3809881,2013-03-17,412031,Jimmy,Finding a place last minute during SXSW is next to impossible.  Janine came to us in a clutch and was very gracious to let us store our bags there past hours.  Very kind person!
860792,3899641,2013-03-25,3942235,Jesse,"Janine was great, house was great. would stay there again"
860792,5261249,2013-06-21,1478725,Michael,"Janine and Chuck were very accommodating to my open-ended travel dates.  The unit is nicely kept--and located in a great, walkable part of South Austin.  There's nothing I'd change about my stay.  I'd feel very comfortable recommending it to anyone."
860792,8076934,2013-10-15,576988,New,"Janine and Chuck were amazing! Janine was very prompt in answering any questions via email, but also provided her personal number. Chuck was nice enough to pick some of us up from the airport, what a terrific gesture! They received us warmly into their home and were flexible with in-out times. The house is located in a prime location for ACL and it was a very comfortable, clean home to stay in. We would highly recommend this home for any stay in Austin.  We would use this home again :)"
860792,10899828,2014-03-12,988749,Thomas,"I've travelled many times with AirBnB but this was the best experience yet. Janine and Chuck are amazingly caring, taking care of anything. 

We were a group of Germans coming to SXSW and felt at home from the first minute. You can feel the love that Janine and Chuck put into decorating the house. And as a European you feel like in a modern wild west movie - awesome. Everything in the house is top, clean, nice, it can't be any better. 

Now, if you think about renting this location for SXSW Interactive 2015 - forget it. WE WANT IT BACK!"
860792,20489459,2014-09-30,4143229,Brent,"We stayed in Janine's Zilker Bungalow for two months while looking for a house to buy in the area. The location was perfect. Short walk to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, Town Lake hike and bike trail, restaurants, coffee, bars, etc...Everything you can possibly need is just a short distance away. Downtown is easy by bike(there is a B-Cycle bike rental kiosk a block away).
The house is a very clean, comfortable 3 bedroom, two bath place that is laid out well. The house is fully furnished with all the kitchen items you could possibly need for eating in.
We couldn't ask for a better host than Janine. She was very responsive and easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. She continually went out of her way to make sure we were having a great stay. 
We highly recommend her place and would definitely stay there again."
860792,20891867,2014-10-07,5643383,Chris,Janine is a perfect host and her house is the ideal place to make home base for ACL!  Thank you so much for all of your hospitality and hopefully you'll let us stay there next year for ACL!   Thanks so much again!
860792,21275581,2014-10-14,3849101,Lindsy,"Our experience could not have been more perfect! The house was lovely and just as pictured - large rooms, a great living/dining room and an awesome patio.  The house was a very short walk to Zilker Park for ACL and we will stay with Janine and Chuck every chance we get.  This is one of the best AirBnb experiences I have had.  Thank you Janine and Chuck for being the most hospitable and friendly of hosts.  "
860792,22609600,2014-11-10,22738853,Robert,Great trip! Janine was a great host. They even have us beer and snacks. The place was very clean and made you feel at home. Plus it's right across from my favorite breakfast spot Austin Java! If you are staying in Austin this is the place to be. 
860792,24194916,2014-12-22,1754275,New,"On a 5 star scale we give it a 6. Perfect hosts, perfect location.
We decided to check out Austin for two weeks and hands down this was the best location and home for our family. We felt at home and would definitley rent from them again next time we visit.

Fully equipped and spacious home with a great little back yard for our pup. Zilker Park was in walking distance and downtown was less then a 5 min drive (you could easily bike or walk if you wanted).

Overall we were very pleased with how nice it all worked out. Traveling with a family of 4 and a dog is not always the easiest thing to do and we felt like we were warmley welcomed at Janine and Chucks house.

"
860792,25359480,2015-01-13,24128771,Michael,This is a great spot!  Janine was a wonderful host and her home was lovely.  We spent a long weekend in Austin at Janine's home and were comfortable and cozy on a freak cold and wet spell.  It saved our trip and Janine went above and beyond to stock the home with staples.  The house was clean and comfortable and we would absolutely love to stay here again when we return.  Thanks for everything!
860792,26601812,2015-02-16,25308558,Mukund,"Janine and Chuck (and Chapo!) have a beautiful comfortable home, perfectly located in a very walkable central location.  We were in Austin for a monthlong 'working vacation' and it could not have been more perfect for the two of us and our dog.  The living areas are bright and spacious, the bedrooms are good-sized and the kitchen was perfectly set up for those days that we decided to eat-in.  No 'cheap rental' compromises here!  The small fenced backyard was just right for our dog as well, and the neighborhood is great for walks (and very safe at night).  We could walk to everything within a mile - food trucks, coffee, restaurants, movie theater, Zilker Park and even the Whole Foods flagship store downtown (remember not to try walking across the Lamar Avenue bridge, however!).  And their eclectic art collection all around the house created a mini-museum experience for rainy days.  We had to unexpectedly extend our stay by a couple of days and Janine and Chuck were extremely accommodating.  We could not have asked for warmer, friendlier hosts.  Several sets of local friends visited us and all were universally impressed by the house and value offered.  Stay where the locals would!"
860792,28157341,2015-03-19,988749,Thomas,"We stayed the second time with Janine and Chuck and again it was awesome. The house is beautiful and perfectly located for anything happening in Austin. It's a quiet neighbourhood but with only a two minute walk you get to some nice restaurants. 

Janine and Chuck are the reason, why Airbnb was invented. Their hospitality is unmatched in my experience and that is the reason why we will be back next year. "
860792,31704716,2015-05-09,17890530,Doug,"Awesome location that is super close to Zilker Park (huge park, great for dogs), Barton Springs (great bit creek, again great for dogs), restaurants on S Lamar, and a short 5 min drive to downtown. The house itself is clean, comfortable, and has all the amenities. However, the true highlight were Janine and Chuck who were some of the nicest hosts ever. Super communicative, easy going, flexible, and just overall great people. Thanks for having us - would 100% recommend!"
860792,42831651,2015-08-16,871467,Deanna,"The house was beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly located.  Janine is a wonderful host - very quick to respond to inquiries (even while riding a horse!), and very thoughtful.  She even bought us some groceries for our first day, since we were arriving late from a long journey.  We highly recommend this residence!"
860792,49123781,2015-10-01,18361477,Graham,Host was very nice and communication was solid. House was charming and unique. Location was nice!
860792,49757356,2015-10-06,22542467,Merritt,"Chuck and Janine were the best! Super easy to work with, quick to respond on any questions and made us feel very welcome at their home. Great shaded patio in the front and back- All the beds were comfy. We loved staying here. Great location- easy walk to Barton Springs and Zilker. We would stay here again for sure!"
860792,50612918,2015-10-13,31621636,Rachelle,This is the second time I have stayed here and that speaks volumes.   The house and location couldn't be better!! Janine is an amazing host and I look forward to returning to Austin and staying back at her house!! 
2464818,47723672,2015-09-21,44294212,Marvin,The host canceled this reservation 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2464818,47929849,2015-09-21,19801063,Lisa,"Sarah was an excellent hostess! She stayed in touch with us and was flexible with us when our arrival time changed a bit. She made us feel right at home and welcome from the moment we arrived. The space was cozy, clean and just as advertised. She checked in with us to make sure everything was going okay during our stay, and made sure that we understood that we could contact her at any time if we needed anything.. Her hubby provided great restaurant recommendations for both the neighborhood and for downtown Austin! The apartment had everything we needed, plenty of plush towels, and the location is right by the swimming pool so bring your suit! Great space, great hostess - we'll be back!"
2464818,48809367,2015-09-28,9465656,Cheryl,"Sarah was great at keeping the lines of communication open and helping us feel welcome. She made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Felt like we were just borrowing a friend's place! Thank you, Sarah!"
2464818,49684800,2015-10-05,44469316,Brett,"Absolutely awesome. This was my first time using BNB so as you can imagine, we were a bit apprehensive going in. Sarah was very helpful, nice and responsive. Her apartment was perfect. Cute, super clean, great location and very quite. Would def snag her place again and very much recommend. "
2464818,50211137,2015-10-10,37260991,Lyndon,"Sarah was extremely accommodating during my stay at her place. She always did her best to help me with any request or question i had, whether that was about her place or about the city. When we arrived, she had a welcome card for us that listed some great places to visit in Austin and free Kombucha in the fridge for us!!! Her place is super cozy, very clean and neat, quite close to anything you'd need, and she also provides a parking space!!!  The bathroom was stocked full of anything you would need, toothbrushes, mouthwash, shampoo, body wash, and the list goes on... as well as a basket full of fresh towels. Bed was very comfortable and loaded with pillows, which made for a very cozy and comfortable sleep. the kitchen was super clean and modern, and had everything we needed during our stay. The swimming pool was great, and literally just out front of her place. Overall, an amazing place to stay, and an amazing deal. I felt blessed to have found it, and was sad to have to leave. "
2464818,51167788,2015-10-18,38289140,Obi,"Host was accommodating, the apartment was as described, and the neighborhood is up and coming. Host also had toiletries and an information packet about the apartment and the city. Thought that was a nice touch."
2464818,52087631,2015-10-26,10902334,Stephanie,"Great experience staying at Sarah's! 
Such a cozy, yet spacious apartment in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the public transportation. The location is good, only 15 minutes drive to the airport and about 15 minutes to downtown. Super comfy bed, plenty of space for us to hang our jackets and clothes and the linen smelled amazing. Everything was  clean and comfortable, wifi very reliable and fast, nice open kitchen! 
See you for the Formula 1 Grand Prix next year!"
2464818,52861940,2015-11-02,16833215,Alison,Wonderful hostess! She made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great tips on places to go in the city. This was exactly what we needed! 
892046,3772303,2013-03-13,2209395,Joyce,"We booked this house for a work trip for six folks to Austin.  The location was perfect, and the house was really clean and super posh.  The hosts are accommodating and they have great taste in music.  I would stay here again if I return to Austin."
892046,28164083,2015-03-19,11004502,Heather,"The house is beautiful and had a nice collection of small snacks, water and beverages. Perfectly located for SXSW, and plenty of bathrooms for multiple guests. We loved it."
7987588,48966445,2015-09-29,3362493,Chris,"Violet was quick to respond and made it very easy to stay at her place. I had a family emergency and needed to come to Austin within one day. Violet was responsive and professional. 
The house was clean, great location, easy access. Highly recommend for future tenants!"
7987588,49749729,2015-10-05,10042736,Daniel,"Violet responded quickly after I requested her home. I had an unfortanely last minute cancellation the day of my trip. AirBNB gave me $150 credit along with the refund but it wasn't enough.  However, I was very happy with my experience at Violet's home. The location was perfect for ACL. It was a 20 min walk, or $3-5 Uber ride. Parking was abundant. The beds were clean & comfy queens, one bathroom, and a full kitchen with a fridge loaded with waters, and other drinks. Living room had a large flat screen TV and solid wifi.  A/C was blasting when I arrived, which was nice. Overall, I'd stay here again, no question. She even let me bring my old dachshund, but I ended up not doing so. Only downside was a low lying shower and a tub that needs some drano. But honestly, I can't complain. I rather stay here any day over a fancy hotel. There's nothing like staying at home. "
7987588,50583369,2015-10-12,35092741,Lori,Violet was wonderful at communicating with me about the stay. Coordinating the key exchange was easy and her house was super charming and very close to Zilker Park - which made it a perfect place to rent during Austin City Limits. Violet was super thoughtful and left us lots of cold water and wine to have between visits to the festival. 
8523851,48660598,2015-09-27,35923742,Carly,"Great neighborhood. Cute house. Comfy bed. Christine was accommodating, considerate, and hospitable. We didn't spend much time at the house because we were so busy, but would love to stay here again next time we're in town. "
8523851,50884697,2015-10-15,3300369,Roxanne,"Easy arrival, host was very proactive in communication and checked in to be sure we had everything."
8523851,51333904,2015-10-19,35424299,Kristin,"Christine's place was great and just what we needed. We wanted somewhere affordable but also somewhere close to the action and her place served both purposes. It was easy to get to Congress, Barton Springs, and downtown. The house is an older house, but it is situated in a nice neighborhood that felt really safe. We had two parking spaces, which was much appreciated. The bedroom had blackout curtains which made for restful sleep. She was readily available for all of our questions. If you want to be close to all the happenings but still have some quiet in your weekend, definitely go with this home!"
3475010,21532219,2014-10-19,3436304,Kim,"Thank you ZilkerVacations for providing such a comfortable place to stay.  The neighborhood is quiet and right in the heart of Austin. Thank you for providing the essentials and then some. The coffee was delish and every cooking utensil we needed to start our day with breakfast. I enjoyed having our very own parking spot. Also, the covered patio was perfect for an evening glass of wine. The park up the road at the Elementary School was a nice walk in the morning and fun for the girls. We enjoyed being so close to everything including Barton Springs and Chuys. Also, thank you for all the helpful information in the binder. Bacon was a fun place to go to on Sunday before heading back to Houston.  I will recommend your accommodations to friends and family. We will book again.  "
3475010,22586365,2014-11-10,4169408,Danielle,"We had a very easy experience when contacting our hosts about an earlier check in time. Studio was perfect size for the 3 of us, with a super comfortable bed and couch. Coffee and creamers were provided (thank you!!!). A parking spot was available. We were able to walk (albeit a little long) to Fun Fun Fun fest at Auditorium Shores, or take a short lyft/uber ride away when tired at night. A great space and great weekend!"

3475010,28605539,2015-03-27,21308693,Rune,"Cynthia is very professional, and before arriving we got several emails telling us what to do, and how to get around in Austin. 

I met Cynthia on arrival, and she showed me how everything worked in the apartment. She told me she would be reachable via email at anytime, if anything came up.  She also introduced me to Uber, which we used instead of taxis. 

The apartment is situated in a quiet neighbourhood.
We did both walk and ride bikes downtown. Walking from the apartment takes anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour. We rode our bikes in in about 10 minutes. 

There are restaurants and food truck closer to the apartment, so we went there for breakfast. Actually the best taco I had in Austin, I got at an restaurant down the street. 

The studio has one bed and a couch that turns into a bed. I slept on the couch-bed, and I slept well. 

A binder in the studio tells you everything you need to know, from how to get the tv working, to how to get a cab. It seems that Cynthia has collected everything anybody has ever wondered about in that binder. 

The bathroom had everything we needed, like shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. There were also a little box with things like make up wipes.  There is no shortage of towels and cloths in the apartment, and Cynthia told us to tell her if we needed more. 

The door has a code lock, which solves all problems regarding keys. 

We felt very welcome, and the apartment had everything we needed. "
3475010,35864262,2015-06-22,5643839,Marie,"The condo was the perfect getaway in town for the weekend. It felt like a hideaway at the lake with the convenience of being in town. Walking distance to great trails, food and activities! The space was exactly as described. "
3475010,51828891,2015-10-24,8903754,Sheree,"Our hosts made us feel so welcomed. We needed a place at the the last minute and they were able to arrange that for us. They sent us several emails with all the info we needed  and also when we told them it would be late evening when we arrived, they had the porch light on for us. They also sent us an extensive list of activities in the area and the best ways to get around if you didn't have a vehicle. They were so prompt when we emailed them. They made this experience so easy. Thanks so much!!"
5707126,29892779,2015-04-13,10277480,Russell,"Loved staying at the glass house! It was a very unique and modern house. Room was clean, comfortable bed, and Valerie was a great host! Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area."
5707126,30357061,2015-04-20,31179223,Fernando,"The Glass House was amazing! What better place to take in the beauty of the Texas Hill Country than a glass house. Not only is the surrounding area naturally beautiful but the house itself with its modern design and expansive glass walls was very luxurious, a perfect weekend get away spot. Our host Valarie was very gracious and inviting, the rooms were set up and organized better than most hotels I have stayed at. The location is also very convenient only a 20 minute drive to Austin. I would highly recommend this place either planning on visiting Lakeway or Austin. Thanks Valerie!"
5707126,30824357,2015-04-27,31312592,Andy,"We thoroughly enjoyed our one night stay here at the glass house. We originally booked here because we were attending a wedding nearby, and all the surrounding hotels (Vintage Villas and the Holiday Inn) were booked up. You could say this was a ""last resort"", but by no means was it inferior! Not only is this house stunning in design and landscaping, Valerie has stocked this place with everything you might need or want. She's definitely a hostess with the mostest.

Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer to fully enjoy the house and it's surroundings."
5707126,31275923,2015-05-03,547456,Stephen,"Great home, Valerie was very hospitable and welcoming. The view out the back patio is incredible and the home is truly stunning. The bedroom was comfortable, quiet and clean. "
5707126,32520688,2015-05-19,30560223,Amy,"Where to begin.. I can't say enough great things about our entire experience. A couple of girls and myself stayed at the glass house a couple of nights for a wedding nearby. Val was more than accommodating pretty much since we booked. Before we even left OKC, she text me with all sorts of details and information that could be useful for our stay. The house itself was amazing.. incredibly stylish and fun! There were little touches, like spa products (the good stuff) and even some drinks set out. The proximity to the Vintage Villas and Oasis (where the wedding activities took place) was great, short drive (I'm talking minutes!). Val and her adorable pup Teedoh even hung out with us one night, upon our request. I felt as though we were visiting a friend. The trip was an amazing experience and I give 10k stars and/or 10k thumbs up. Thank you, Valerie! "
5707126,43197990,2015-08-17,38042904,Cammi,Valerie wasn't home when we arrived but she made arrangements before hand despite short notice. She provides awesome amenities and really made us feel at home. Her cousin was in town and joined us floating the river. The overall experience was worth the cost.
5707126,46208106,2015-09-08,7877037,Chek,"Everything was well in her home. We stayed two nights, didnt spend too much time in the house but overall, everything was excellent.
Thanks"
5707126,51404678,2015-10-19,25565457,Melody,This was our first private room rental experience. We weren't sure how comfortable we would be. It was very comfortable and Teedoh the doggie was so sweet and welcomed us warmly.  We loved the glass style of the house and the gorgeous view from balcony. Valerie provided us with food and activity recommendations. We will definitely stay here again...if we don't move there first...lol
5707126,52937782,2015-11-02,13574713,Dan,"This place was truly amazing. An awesome getaway from the city, but still close enough to do stuff in Austin proper. The room was great, it had coffee, snacks, you name it. She thought of everything!"

2349447,10559045,2014-02-24,12362395,Christyn,"Jon was a fantastic host! He was very communicative from the moment I booked and throughout the weekend until we left. The house was exactly what we needed: it was clean, convenient, had everything we needed (kitchen utensils, linens, etc), and had a great Austin vibe complete with hard wood floors and musician decor. It was in a great location; we could easily walk to South Congress and were a 5 minute car ride away from the breweries we were there to tour. We were also really close to Barton Creek where we hiked on Sunday before heading back to Houston. Overall we had an amazing weekend in Austin. Thank you Jon!"
2349447,10708368,2014-03-03,4922218,Kristin,Great space and in a great location.  Jon gave us great recommendations and it was a wonderful experience for my first time visiting Austin.  Look forward to coming back here again.
2349447,10905147,2014-03-12,1864047,Stephanie,Jon was an excellent host. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and quickly addressed any questions we had. His house is adorable and the location is great!
2349447,10984999,2014-03-16,311870,Cheyne,"We had a great stay at Jon's cottage during SXSW. It was nice to get away from the hustle & bustle of Downtown every night. His place is clean, comfortable and perfect for what we needed. Walking distance to many great restaurants, coffee shops, bars, etc. Jon was a super helpful host, he also provided many amenities that made our stay better. Hope to come back next year!"
2349447,11222488,2014-03-25,1583570,Jeff,"We had a wonderful experience at the SOCO cottage. The location is great and we were able to walk pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. The cottage home had everything we needed and more. Jon was a wonderful host- he was quick to reply to our questions, recommended places to go and even snagged us a ride to the airport on our way out. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Jon! "
2349447,11415781,2014-04-01,11539413,Nancy,Jon was a great host--very communicative and accommodating. We loved his charming cottage--it is a great location within walking distance of South Congress--and we would definitely stay there again. 
2349447,11622830,2014-04-09,10820619,Bella B,"We had a really lovely stay at Jon's cottage.  I have very high standards and they were definitely met.  The photos don't give it the justice it deserves.  Very cute and extremely clean.  It's exactly as it's described- a cottage.  The bed is big and so incredibly comfortable- furnished w/ excellent linens.  The kitchen is spacious and cute - we came home to enjoy nightcaps in here every night- it was a great space to be in (as was the living area).  We were a quick walk from South Congress and all the shops and eaters on there- which we felt was the best area in the city to be near.  (Eveything from the Continental club to eateries like hopdoddy, homeslice and jo's coffee are all footsteps away.)  Downtown was an easy & inexpensive cab ride.  It's in  a pretty residential area but so close to everything!  We really feel we scored taking this airbnb.  Thank you Jon for being an excellent host."
2349447,11703601,2014-04-12,14043275,James,"My wife and I were nervous about our first venture into using ""AirBnB,"" but that feeling was quickly dispelled as soon as we arrived at Jon's lovely little cottage near South Congress in Austin.  It was exactly as described--and more!  We talked to Jon for a few minutes upon arriving, wherein he took us on a quick tour of the house, explaining the unique quirks and character of the home.  It had actually been moved to his property from a different location in South Austin after a real estate developer threatened to tear down the place in order to plant a tall, new building of condos.  I really respected Jon's dedication to retaining the classic vibe of South Austin and his story made me appreciate the cottage all the more!  The home had been completely refurbished with comfortable new furniture (the bed was incredibly comfortable) and decorated with some of Jon's music equipment and paraphernalia while still retaining the original feel of the cottage.  While there, we walked almost everywhere, from the numerous coffee shops on 1st to the amazing breakfast fare at Magnolia Cafe on South Congress.  This has become a longer review than originally intended, but it should suffice to say that we will plan on visiting Jon's cottage next time we're in Austin!"
2349447,11819137,2014-04-15,8290897,Abel,This was a really cool place with all the necessities. The location was close enough to walk down to Soco. Would totally book it again. 
2349447,12122792,2014-04-23,13050890,Brendan,Jon is a great host.  He makes you feel very welcome and relaxed from the off.  The cottage itself caters for 3 comfortably but could take another if needed. It has a real cottage feel about it with hip and quirkiness thrown in for good measure.  I would stay at SOCO again quite happily.
2349447,13413305,2014-05-27,1332348,Treva,"Perfect location and really nicely furnished. Has a sunny relaxing vibe inside. Feels spacious because of high ceilings, lots of windows, white walls, and wood floors. Also feels quiet and private inside. Is walking distance to many great restaurants/cafes etc. The house has everything you would need and Jon even left us water, oj, milk, coffee... very generous. Thank you Jon! Can't wait to come back."
2349447,13677805,2014-06-02,5881994,Diana,"The cottage was perfect for what I needed. (Sleeping only) If you want to cook in and not eat out, this is not the best place for you. 
The location was great. Jon was accommodating  and friendly.

2349447,14021803,2014-06-10,6518775,Chuck,"What an excellent place to stay in Austin! I recently stayed here with a buddy during the X Games, and I have to say that I made a great choice. This was my first airbnb trip, and I was not disappointed.

This small cottage was nestled in a nice little neighborhood very close to the happening spot of South Congress. It was good for the both us with one sleeping on the futon and the other using the bed, which was a lot more comfortable. The bathroom was small but had everything you needed including a few extra items that you could use during your stay. The kitchen was fully supplied with utensils, cups, and dishes. It only had a hot plate and a toaster oven for cooking but that's still all you really needed for a short stay. Plus, he put good coffee and sweeteners in the cabinet. The fridge was also available, and he even threw in a few juices.

Jon was an excellent host! So nice and personable, and he even let us use his cooler for a day. He was always available and responded quickly. Overall, I'd definitely stay here again."
2349447,14535512,2014-06-21,3628349,George,"I waited until the last minute to book a place to stay.  John was super accommodating! His cottage is way more spacious than the pictures depict.  The shower is the only small area of the cottage.  No tv?!?  Perfectly fine with me.  I was there to work and explore Austin.  Not sit at home and watch tv.  His wifi worked great so I watched movies on netflix when I got the urge to sit in front of a boob tube.  Over all, it was a great stay.  Clean place.  Fantastic location.  I work 2-3 times a year in Austin.  I look forward to being able to stay here again.
"
2349447,14801748,2014-06-26,16832222,Patrick,"Great little spot, good vintage feel, cool decor!"
2349447,15506476,2014-07-10,1638561,Kelsey,"Me and my two girlfriends stayed at Jon's place for three nights, and we absolutely loved it! Such a nice, well-lit and well-decorated space! The bed was heavenly!! (Futon was admittedly less heavenly.) Even though isn't a stove, the kitchen was still decked out enough to be able to cook some meals there easily. Jon was really easy to communicate with and we could check in at any time. Highly recommend!"
2349447,16164019,2014-07-22,6618267,Ivan,"Listing description was dead on and it couldn't have been an easier stay.  House was perfect for two people, and although small the house was comfortable and made it easy to get into and back out of the city.  Communication from the host was easy and smooth.  I'll probably stay here again when next I go to Austin...house was a bargain!"
2349447,16584695,2014-07-29,3628349,George,2nd time staying at SOCO Cottage.  It was magnificent.  I had unusal circumstances this time around and Jon was very accommodating.  Even though Jon was out of the country when my stay started he was still quick to respond to emails.  I enjoy staying at SOCO Cottage becuase it so close to everything I need when I am in Austin.  The bed is comfortable.  the shower has good pressure.  Jon has such a relaxed vibe about him that it carries over to the Cottage.  A great place to stay.  Thanks Jon!
2349447,16757732,2014-08-01,17012016,Drew,"I booked Jon's house at the last minute and his response time was very quick. The house was perfect for our stay, we were much more comfortable than we would have been in a hotel. The radio in the house was set to an awesome classic rock station and we were supplied with coffee which made my
Dad and I both very happy. The location was perfect, just a short drive to food and shops on congress. We will definitely attempt to stay here again! "
2349447,17008063,2014-08-05,6166304,Kim,"Jon's cottage was perfect - really loved it.  

The place was spacious, very clean and Jon was a great host. Gave us a few recommendations and directions. 

Location was great too - an easy walk to 1st and to South Congress. 

I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Jon and stay here again. "
2349447,17318226,2014-08-10,19388802,Cathy,"Jon is a gracious host!  The kitchen was stocked with nice extras for making coffee, tea and some light snacking.  The cottage was a great, relaxing place to stay.  Comfy bed, nice sitting area and I was able to spread out at the kitchen table for coffee and computer work.  The simple decor is attractive and calming.  This was my first Airbnb rental and I enjoyed having my own ""home"" away from home.  More relaxing than a hotel.  The cottage is close to SOCO restaurants and shopping, and the grocery store is a short walk.  I enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to friends."
2349447,17655091,2014-08-15,5814384,Jason,"My friend and I had to make a long drive to Austin, and we were tired by the time we arrived. Check-in was a piece of cake, though, and Jon immediately made us feel at home, gave us great suggestions for the neighborhood, and then got out of our way. The cottage is charming, nicely decorated, and ideally situated. There is lots of privacy, and the two of us slept comfortably. There are all kinds of cool places within walking distance. This really is a steal of a deal. I hope to come back! "
2349447,17982431,2014-08-19,17595572,Terah,"The little house was adorable, nicely furnished, and comfortable! Perfect size for the two of us! 
Also-a perfect location to everything Austin! 
Jon was a great host, checking in on us and providing my husband and I with coffee, creamer, yogurt, and snacks. It was a very nice stay! "
2349447,18263720,2014-08-24,18170328,Ginger,"Jon was a very accommodation host.  The bed was quite comfortable, and the decor was very Austin chic.  There was even tea, fruit and coffee, and the bathroom had several toiletries for us to use.  Additionally the neighborhood is an absolutely amazing location.  Everything we wanted to do downtown and on South Lamar seemed no more than 10 minutes away.  I would definitely stay here again!"
2349447,18383512,2014-08-25,20289510,Vathsala,"Jon was very nice and I really appreciate him approving a last minute booking.  My friends and I stayed at his place for 1 night.  He left the key for us in a specific location and also made a point to stop by and say hello, and offered to answer any questions.  The apartment was very clean and he had left yogurt, juice, water, fruit, and chips for us.  There were plenty of towels for us, and the bed as described by others was very comfy.  There is no central air, but both the living room and bedroom have AC window units.  We stayed on a very hot summer day (high 100 degrees) and overnight it was warm despite keeping the units on 70 degrees.  Also there is no door between the living room and bedroom, so if you want privacy keep that in mind.  The bathroom is very small but clean.  The location is convenient for exploring South Congress."
2349447,18996703,2014-09-04,8970975,Meg,"The space is just as pictured, AC units work well, and the queen bed is super comfy! Perfect amount of space for two people to stay several days. We also appreciated having off-street parking for our single vehicle.  Jon was very nice, low-key, and ensured that we were all set.  He also gave great advice/recommendations about the area whenever we asked. Even with our super-late check-in, he was able to accommodate.  Should a guest ever have any issues, he lives right next door, so I assume anything that could pop up would be rectified quickly (we personally didn't experience any issues). I would stay here again. :)

Side note: Jon's place is conveniently located near the South Congress main drag.  For us, it was within jogging/biking distance."
2349447,19277990,2014-09-09,19642671,Nadia,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay here. Jon is an awesome fellow and he made us feel welcomed immediately upon arrival -- the key was where Jon said it would be and our little home away from home was nice and cool upon entry. Jon even left us a few essential food items (bottles of water, snacks, fruit, and whiskey). He knocked on our door a little while later to give us the low down on the cool places to go in Austin. The house itself was perfect for the two of us -- a nice kitchen with a full-sized refrigerator, living room, and bedroom with a super comfy bed. It is in a nice neighborhood (where unlike in New York, people actually say hello) and we never had any issues with feeling safe and secure. One thing I should note though -- we did see one cockroach under the kitchen sink, but to be fair, it is an older house and it is in the south. When we told Jon about it, he was apologetic and promised to address the situation as best he could, which he did follow up on. Other than this, the house was excellent and central to everything we wanted to see and do in Austin. As New Yorkers, we're used to walking and even took a nice evening stroll to downtown Austin which was about a 40 minute walk, but totally worth it as you pass some interesting shops and restaurants during the trek! We would stay here again -- thank you Jon for a place to call home in your wonderful city!"
2349447,19841457,2014-09-19,88320,Joseph,"We absolutely loved staying in Jon's SOCO Cottage! The description is very accurate - it's in a quiet part of town but you can walk to the nice spots on South Congress (maybe around 10/15 minutes) and it's a 5 minute walk to 2 major bus lines that lead downtown. via South Congress or South 1st The place itself was charming, private, and well-stocked with fruit, juice, yogurt, coffee, and even a bottle of whiskey! 

Jon was very friendly and was always sure that we were comfortable and even made special arrangements to get us the key at an odd hour. He also recommended a couple of nearby live music venues that really transformed that last part of our trip. 

Highly recommended! "
2349447,20029715,2014-09-22,237776,Emily,This place is so adorable and close to amazing shopping and spots in south congress! The bed is so comfortable and the Decor is charming. The place is very clean and there is easy parking.
2349447,20375884,2014-09-28,8714216,Deborah,Cozy clean and comfortable.  John was a great host!
2349447,20727723,2014-10-04,21973771,Diana,This little cottage was amazing! Jon was great and was there if we ever needed anything. Very cozy and private and had little goodies that Jon would leave around for the guest. Really cool musician vibe as well and great neighborhood. Close to many cool things down South Congress!
2349447,20907664,2014-10-07,9144496,Lauren,"Jon's place was a perfect home base for our stay in Austin. He was a great host and we really appreciated the welcoming touches- he had water, OJ, yogurt, snacks, and soda stocked for our stay which was very nice considering we were on the go most of the time. It was originally just going to be my bf and I, but a friend ended up crashing with us one night. The home easily accommodates 2 people, and we were plenty comfortable with 3. The way the house is set up, you give up a little privacy with 3 people but for our group it was totally fine. We went to ACL, Barton Springs, and to the downtown area (6th street and Rainey), and his place was a short uber/cab ride or a longer walk (45min+) to each (note that given the amount of queso we ate, we didn't mind the walk). For us it was in a great location for everything we wanted to do and had a grocery store and wine bar within a few blocks which added to its convenience. Overall Jon was a great host- offered recommendations and let us know he was available it we needed anything- and never hovered unnecessarily over us. Would definitely stay here again!"
2349447,21204775,2014-10-13,19139597,Emily,"Great host, very responsive and helpful and also accommodating!! Cottage was cute. We didn't spend a ton of time inside but it was all we needed - clean linens, comfy air mattress for the third guest, and clean house. "
2349447,21879121,2014-10-26,12848258,Peter,"Jon was great about staying in touch, the cottage was exactly as described. I love South Austin and we found everything we needed in walking distance. I lived in South Austin 1982 -87 and this cottage provided the essence of what I hoped to find. We can be picky about the bed and pillows, it was very comfortable and we slept well."
2349447,22186143,2014-11-01,6744037,Paula,"The cottage looked exactly as in the picture. The neighborhood is quiet with a lot of shops, restaurants, etc. within walking distance. Jon stocked the bathroom and fridge with everything you'll need. My only issues were the wifi which went in & out over the course of my stay. The mattress was soft and there was spider webbing and dust bunnies. Overall, my stay was pleasant and I would recommend Jon's cottage."
2349447,22651147,2014-11-11,21223823,Christopher,"I had a great time visiting Austin. Jon's little cottage was all kinds of adorable and in the excellent location. The cottage was exactly as described and Jon was excellent with communicating to me. Awesome neighborhood, felt right at home!"
2349447,22869389,2014-11-16,2225277,Kristin,Jon was amazing. When we arrived he met us at the cottage and showed us around - even went out of his way to make our stay more comfortable and warm by supplying heaters as Austin was experiencing colder than usual weather. The house was extremely comfortable and absolutely adorable. His insider tips/suggestions on live music and coffee were spot on. He truly made our stay fantastic and forever memorable! 
2349447,23142832,2014-11-23,4917254,Joe,Great place! Highly recommended!
2349447,23299211,2014-11-28,19622145,Steven,Great location and a cool place. Jon was very accommodating to any of our requests and very responsive. Would definitely stay here again.
2349447,23643496,2014-12-07,6166304,Kim,"Jon's place is great - it was my second time staying there! It's very clean, great location, fabulous bed, and it's a great size for 2-3 people. "
2349447,24014229,2014-12-16,1332348,Treva,I was in town for work and initially put up in the Holiday Inn which felt grim to me so I asked to be put up at Jon's - which instantly felt so much better. Feels like I'm home. This was my 2nd time staying at SOCO Cottage. I love it. No complaints. 
2349447,24216564,2014-12-22,17926092,Gregory E,Jon was an amazing host and person. He was helpful in a huge way and it was a pleasure to stay at his cottage. The location is great and the cottage is perfect. A very cool place with everything you need and very comfortable and fun. I highly recommend you stay at his place!
2349447,24727764,2015-01-02,3455946,Stephanie,"The cottage was cozy and clean -- a perfect place to land. Jon was a generous host who answered all my random questions and provided a huge list of recommendations for live music in Austin. The location is great, really close to South Congress. One thing to note is that it is close to a main road, so there is almost constant traffic noise, but you get used to it. Otherwise the location was tranquil. We really enjoyed our stay!"
2349447,25331202,2015-01-12,6354028,Blair,Jon was better than we could have imagined! We came with a list of what to see and he blew us away with exactly what we wanted without him even knowing! It was an extremely chilly weekend and most AirBNB spots aren't equipped for cold weather. We had plenty of warmth and were just as cozy as we are in our own home!!! I can't wait to come back and stay with Jon again. He truly was the best host we could have spent the whole time in the house and hanging with him and we would have been perfectly happy! Our baggage was lost before we left our home airport and Jon was nothing but helpful and offering more than we ever expected. We were fortunate to enjoy many of the same things Jon does. Listen to him! He won't steer you wrong!!! Thank you agian Jon!!!!!
2349447,25601948,2015-01-20,24911566,Dana,"Jon and his home were amazing! The home was clean and beautiful! Jon bought us water, milk and OJ plus there is coffee in the cupboard which my boyfriend really appreciated. He also got us the local newspaper and told us where to check out in town. I love this house and wish it was my own. Wonderful decoration, friendly host, and so close to 1st street and South Congress. Love this house and would recommended it anyone! "
2349447,25723339,2015-01-24,13073469,Tamara,Jon was great and has an awesome home in the SoCo area. We came to Austin while it was going through a cold front but still had a good time. Jon made us feel very welcome and offered to hold our bags as well as drive us to the airport. When we come back down we would definitely love to stay here. The charm is unbeaten.
2349447,25889845,2015-01-28,26481389,Leslie,"John was very nice, and did not bother us. We had some good conversations, and he helped us out exploring Austin. The house was very clean and nice. It is all we needed for our stay. I will stay there every time I am in Austin. Also it was close to Congress and Sixth street, lots happening very close.
"
2349447,26023057,2015-02-01,141596,Nicole,"Jon was awesome, very sweet. The cottage was adorable and really nicely laid out. The bed was extremely comfortable and the overall decor was really cozy. It was cold in Austin, but Jon had wonderful heaters throughout the house which worked perfectly. And the location is awesome, walkable from great neighbourhoods. I highly recommend this space! Thanks Jon!"
2349447,26389296,2015-02-11,3033344,Matt,"Had a great time staying at this conveniently located cottage! Short walk to two main drags, and lots of good eating even closer by. Jon is very friendly and made us feel at home, zero complaints!"
2349447,27065762,2015-02-24,27168492,Con,"Jon, our host, was very communicative and accommodating from the moment we booked the cottage. The location is great for getting to many parts of Austin since main roads (Congress, Lamar, Oltorf,)are so near. There is large grocery store (HEB) 3 blocks away as well as a CVS.  
The cottage was comfortably furnished. We were 3 and cottage had ample room and privacy for us.  Delicious coffee was in the cabinet and was a welcomed change from hotel coffee or the trip out to bring back coffee to a hotel room. 
My husband enjoyed strumming on a guitar that was waiting for a picker.  
We will be back!
"
2349447,27346665,2015-03-02,26466985,Sara,"We were visiting Austin for a girls weekend and couldn't be happier with the cottage and it's location!  Close to South Congress, close to 1st Street with lots of great food trucks and very accessible to downtown.  The cottage was a great size for two people.  Austin was having an unseasonable cold-spell and Jon was great in adding space heaters and making sure we were comfortable.  He even stocked the fridge with a few items which made it feel just like home.  Would highly recommend when staying in Austin!"
2349447,27480086,2015-03-05,15604893,Josiah,"Jon was an excellent and flexible host. This was my first AirBnB experience and it was surely positive. 
I flew in standby and We arrived on a late flight, well past midnight.  Jon was very accommodating and worked it out to get us in when I arrived. 
The place was spot clean and he provided some snacks which was a nice surprise. 
This place was a great location too. Highly recommended! 
Thanks man"
2349447,27677625,2015-03-09,9972785,Erica,"Jon's SOCO cottage was the perfect home base for our weekend in Austin.  It was just a short walk to Congress Ave and a few different bus lines; and the accommodations themselves were tidy and comfortable. Jon was a friendly, responsive host, and I greatly appreciated the thoughtful little touches like juice and yogurt in the fridge and extra toiletries. I'd certainly recommend the cottage to any one person or couple spending time in Austin."
2349447,28120911,2015-03-18,10334521,Emma,"Jon's place was fabulous, just what we were expecting and more. He was very welcoming and friendly. The location is great, right near S Congress. All and all we loved and would go back. "
2349447,28331114,2015-03-22,28449253,Denise,Great stay in great neighborhood.  Jon was friendly and left us several creature comforts to feel at home.  Highly recommend.  
2349447,28654222,2015-03-28,2111028,Kat,"The property is a beautiful Wilson Street cottage. Perfect location to enjoy the delights of South Congress, 1st Street and in our favourite part of town. 

The cottage is clean and tidy with a cute little lay out. Perfect for enjoying a few days of Austin cottage living. We made good use of the front steps, soaking up the sun in the morning and drinking a glass of something cold in the evenings.

Jon is super welcoming, helpful and full of useful information and suggestions of things to see and do.

We love this place and we will be back.

2349447,29167344,2015-04-05,22446855,David,"We had a great time in Austin, Jon was very attentive and the House had all the amenities we needed (and more). Great location, we could have walked to most of the Restaurants, Music Venues and Sights that Austin has to offer."
2349447,29476359,2015-04-07,28063487,Shawn,The cottage was great. Very cozy and great location. Also Jon is an awesome guy. Would definitely recommend.

2349447,29900150,2015-04-13,5824569,Mark Anthony,Great location! Cab ride from downtown to the cottage under $10. Walking distance to great restaurants and bars on SoCo. Enjoyed our stay at Jon's cottage. Very comfortable bed. Texas size hospitality. 
2349447,30138486,2015-04-18,18017056,Christopher,"Jon was a gracious host, and very helpful on events; the neighborhood, etc. His place is perfectly situated; only a short walk to South Congress with its many shops, cafes, and clubs. The cottage is very charming; well equipped and decorated with music memorabilia. I had my classic Pontiac down for the 1500+ car Lonestar Round Up; I felt perfectly safe and secure to park it out front. I would highly recommend Jon's place to anyone!  "
2349447,30672451,2015-04-26,13040927,Jana,"My boyfriend and I just got back from a week-long stay in Austin and this cottage was the perfect location for our home base. We were out and about for most of the trip, so we didn't cross paths with Jon that much in the end, but when we did he was friendly and welcoming. He was also great about accommodating our weird arrival and departure times, and we appreciated the food and drinks he left in the kitchen for us. The location was great for all our Austin adventures - the street was quiet and felt safe, but we were only a few minutes away from all the action on S. Congress and S. 1st, so it was a nice balance. Would definitely stay here again!"
2349447,30962413,2015-04-29,3081683,Kaidy,"Jon's place was perfect for our short stay in Austin. Superbly located to explore South Congress and South 1st by foot, and an easy bus ride up to Downtown and beyond. The neighbourhood felt completely safe, and we really enjoyed having a beer out on the front step one evening, and even seeing some fireflies!

Jon made us feel very welcome. Really appreciated the drinks and snacks left for us, and the very handy local listings magazine. We only met Jon once, but on that occasion he was kind enough to give us a ride Downtown and offer some personal nightlife recommendations on the way (Continental Club was awesome btw!).

I highly recommend Jon as a host, and his very cosy cottage!"
2349447,31138296,2015-05-02,27446474,Christie,This cottage was perfect for our stay in Austin. We walked everywhere and Jon was a great host.

The cottage was perfectly located for exploring the south congress area and nearby (website hidden) addition, Jon was an excellent host, great communication and very hospitable. A wonderful experience all in all! "
2349447,31886198,2015-05-11,160848,Paul,"Jon was a brilliant host,friendly,enthusiastic and knowledgable about music,food and the neighborhood. Would recommend his house to those who like a funky place in a great area.

It was accommodating, clean, and in a great area, walking distance from South Congress. Jon even gave us some great dining recommendations. Overall, it was a great weekend and we thank Jon for his warm hospitality."
2349447,32711441,2015-05-20,442431,Rebecca,"I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs but Jon's Soco cottage was definitely one of my favourites. Spacious, light filled and tastefully decorated, the place makes you feel right at home. The attention to detail and complimentary refreshments made it all the more pleasant. Jon was easy to communicate with and friendly. Highly recommended! "

2349447,33094706,2015-05-25,439112,Lindsey,Jon's cottage was great! We were able to check in early and could even leave our bags with him since we had a late flight out on our last day. The cottage was clean and very comfortable. Great location -- easy walking distance to South Congress.
2349447,33416528,2015-05-27,10862061,Saskia,"Jon ist super nett und wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Das Cottage fanden wir so toll, dass wir am liebsten dageblieben wären.  Die Einrichtung ist sehr schön und alles war sehr sauber. Außerdem hat Jon sich sehr viele Gedanken gemacht, was Reisende benötigen könnten: es gab Lebensmittel wie Kaffee und Brot und die neueste Ausgabe des Austin Chronicle lag auch für uns bereit. Und das Ganze ist in einer sehr tollen Gegend von Austin. In Laufnähe gibt es Bars, Restaurants und nette Läden zum Bummeln. Wenn wir nochmal nach Austin kommen, wollen wir auf jeden Fall wieder bei Jon wohnen!"
2349447,33613336,2015-05-30,21256987,Michael,"Great place to stay for our first trip to Austin. Jon was there to meet us and let us in. He was always quick to reply to any text messages, although we didn't need much once we got in. The house is as presented and very cozy and charming. It was centrally located at the southern end of South Congress...a bit of a walk but hard to beat for the price. Also easy access to South 1st, and Lamar. The fresh fruit, water, and coffee were a nice touch. Thanks Jon!"
2349447,33822937,2015-06-01,2808693,Erin,"I highly recommend Jon's place.  It was quiet, clean, and cozy.  Plus, it's in a great location and Jon made it easy to check in and check out."

2349447,34919499,2015-06-13,1704201,Amir,"Jon's authentic Austin cottage was beautifully prepared for our arrival and well appointed in each room.  There was coffee, tea, and refreshments for us.  Several maps and interesting reading materials describing Austin's heritage and development through literature and photographs awaited our discovery on the coffee table.  Communication with Jon and his company was pleasant and our enjoyment was this host's top priority.  Thank you for a true Austin experience and Texas sized hospitality!"
2349447,36053718,2015-06-24,35700028,Victoria,Jon was the perfect host. He was so helpful and knowledgeable about Austin and very welcoming and accommodating when we arrived at the house. We had such a lovely time we didn't want to leave. the house itself is so gorgeous I want to live there.
2349447,36253048,2015-06-26,18884720,William,"Quick response by my host on a last minute basis enabled me to book the cottage for two nights.  Comfortable, clean and nicely appointed one bedroom cottage.  Easy walking distance to the restaurants and bars on South Congress."

2349447,37054124,2015-07-04,20773791,Mars,"Jon is a wonderful host who truly cares about his guests well being. I arrived a bit early to the cottage and he drove me to an absolutely delicious cafe so that I could grab a bite while he finished cleaning. The cottage is adorably quaint and gets such fantastic natural light. Upon walking in, I was intrigued by all of his neat belongings (vintage amps, photos of musicians, books and etc.). The location was very convenient, as I could walk most anywhere and it was a quick trip to the airport. Jon was so kind in giving suggestions as to where we could find the best cafes, restaurants, bars and music venues. Anytime we had questions he responded quickly and thoroughly. He really goes above and beyond with his generosity and consideration. Jon even shipped the sweater and dress I had left behind to my home! He is an exceptionally thoughtful host. This place is a wonderful option if you plan to be exploring the city and indulging in the Austin culture. 

Thanks, Jon!!"
2349447,37426042,2015-07-06,31931072,Shahar,"We loved Jon's apartment. It was clean, well located, very nicely designed and just really really fun. Jon was a great host, very easy to communicate with and very generous, friendly and flexible with our last minute booking and all of our other issues. 

The place has a great space with a living room and a separate bed room that was really perfect for us with our baby. I would live there if I could. 

The place is really close to Soco, which we found as the coolest place in the city, and it actually made our stay even cooler. 

Highly recommended. "
2349447,38970267,2015-07-19,37028141,Paul,"This is a really well decorated, truly South Austin hang out - off street parking is important to me, location is super, and little touches for breakfast were very nice.  Great place to stay, super Host, great communication... he's a good egg.  "
2349447,39863865,2015-07-26,5006908,Kjetil,The host greeted us on arrival and was very helpful. The cottage was very nice decorated and was close to soco. Perfect place for a couple to spend the weekend.

2349447,46977002,2015-09-14,4666870,Linsey,"This little house was the perfect getaway for our stay-cation.  We had a great time staying so close to downtown and Jon was a perfect host for it.  He gave us some incredible recommendations for things to do that were close.  We were able to make it to paddle board on the river, the Continental Club, and some really great restaurants all very quickly from here.  This house was perfectly set up for a short retreat weekend with everything that you would need for a getaway or an overnight.  
Jon himself is one of those people you like instantly and made us feel very welcome in this space.  Thanks Jon!  It was a stupendous weekend and we had a blast.  "
2349447,47326569,2015-09-17,42006612,Robbi,Jon was a great host !! The cottage was the perfect space for setting up shop for a few days - very comfortable and close to south congress which made experiencing Austin easy and fun! Jon was very welcoming and knew so much about the city!

2349447,48895294,2015-09-29,8532097,Silvana,"Jon's Place was absolutely amazing! close enough to Congress Av, and walking distance to downtown. His amenities were beyond accommodating to every need. Snacks, AC, Books, Maps & a listing of suggestions for activities to do enjoy over the weekend. Plenty extra towels, hair dryer....The space and private and super homey. HEB is two blocks away, bus runs right on Olfort Av. I mean, I would sincerely Love to stay here again. 

Jon was generous and helpful, super attentive. A lovely stay in Austin for anyone looking to do their own thing and feel at home."
2349447,50436311,2015-10-12,18059208,Rachel,"Jon's cottage was everything we needed and more! Fantastic location. We easily walked to nearby coffee shops, restaurants, bars and shopping. Getting downtown and to Zilker Park (we were in town for ACL)  were easy $5-7 uber rides or a breeze on a bikes. The cottage was stocked with necessities, tea and coffee, and plenty of extra linens. We comfortably fit 3 people and felt right at home. Jon was an attentive host and quick to answer any questions we had. I would definitely book again! "
2349447,51135528,2015-10-18,1838781,Peter,"Jon was a fantastic host. He helped us navigate the dizzying culinary and music scenes of Austin by taking time with us on our first day to circle a bunch of places in the Chronicle so that we were able to narrow things down further ourselves. The cottage was just as described and was the perfect Austin experience. Just minutes from fantastic food trailers/trucks on S 1st St. and still close to South Congress. I can't recommend this place enough. Thanks, Jon!"
2349447,51930386,2015-10-25,29754513,Nancy,"The cottage was adorable and very comfortable.  Excellent location near South Congress.  Jon was an excellent host, he provided snacks, coffee, and tea.  Highly recommended! "

We were caught in quite a bad storm so it was reassuring to know that Jon was next door in case we needed anything.  The location is great - just a few minutes walk from South Congress.  I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in Austin again  
337341,1006667,2012-03-17,486753,Sanchita,"Katie's apartment was awesome and she was an amazingly helpful host. Left us water and supplies which was really thoughtful Apartment in totally central location, just 2 blocks from the Convention centre so would definitely recommend it!"
337341,1014179,2012-03-18,1818450,Ilana,"It's a great, clean and nicely furnished apartment in an excellent location. Katie was very helpful and responsive and provided everything I needed."
337341,3778843,2013-03-14,1595484,Matt,"Katie's place is clean and neat... and she was very open to all communication before and during our stay. She even left us snacks and notes on the neighborhood.

Towels were clean (new even?), beds were tidy and there was even a Britta filter pitcher in the fridge to save us $ on bottled water.

The lock box (rather than keys) was super helpful. 

"
337341,10935458,2014-03-14,4393426,Toshinari,"We had a great time in her stay during the greatest festival season in Austin. She gave us a well-documented guide for the stay, and was prompt to answer when I asked a question. Thanks, Katie!"
337341,28244792,2015-03-21,4393426,Toshinari,"It was the second time for us to stay at Katie's house. She was just awesome. She left us not only some snacks and bottles of water, but also a welcome message board that really made us welcomed. Thank you Katie!"
337341,33305452,2015-05-26,14925574,Mike,"Katie was a great host. She let my friends and I stay over a holiday weekend, provided info on the area, and had a great welcome set up at the condo for us. She was available for any issues that could arise and very supportive. "
5116010,28129312,2015-03-18,26865846,Jasmine,"Great home and even better host! Thanks so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home during SXSW!

"
5116010,28387923,2015-03-23,12211986,Ashley,"Jon and Kerin were great! The house was clean spacious with a great location on a quiet street. They left fresh local bagels and cream cheese for the guests stay and were great communicators, readily available to answer any questions."
4164549,22378985,2014-11-04,22613761,Tim,"Ryan's place was perfect for a long weekend and definitely more affordable and nicer than staying at a hotel. The neighborhood was quiet and everything is a short ride away. The hosts were awesome, and Ryan and his wife were very respectful of our space. Seems like Ryan knows the good spots in town if you need advice on anything, and was helpful with recommendations for food/thugs to do. The downstairs where we were staying is separate from the upstairs so it really feels like an independent guest house. Cannot have had a better time out in Austin and the stay was perfect for what we needed.  Will definitely stay at Ryan's place again when I head back to Austin for next year's Grand Prix. "
4164549,22678143,2014-11-11,4519463,Mark,"We really appreciated having the entire downstairs (including bathroom) to ourselves, which was a very nice space (large bedroom, large couch with a TV in the other room).  The location is excellent--downtown is walkable (through some very nice parks/along the river).

We were out and about all weekend, so we didn't spend any time with Ryan except for our arrival, but he seemed very nice."
4164549,28184672,2015-03-19,28819907,Amber,Ryan and his wife couldn't have been more welcoming and gracious. The two room space was huge and beautifully decorated. The WiFi was super speedy and their dog is awesome. I highly recommend renting a bike (there is a place within walking distance from their house) so you can explore more of this amazing city.  
4164549,28403046,2015-03-23,27525978,Jaime,"Ryan and his wife were incredibly welcoming and nice. We enjoyed  every day of our stay. The reserved area was clean, comfortable, and cozy. The neighborhood is also nice with close proximity to many city areas of interest. I definitely recommend it and look forward to my next stay there."
4164549,28762029,2015-03-29,29131700,Jeanine,"Ryan was incredibly kind and friendly. The space was very cozy, nice and comfortable- it exceeded my expectations. The location is great, close to many restaurants, pharmacies, and downtown. I would definitely stay here again, without hesitation."
4164549,29237725,2015-04-05,11260207,Lorena,Ryan's house is in a really nice place. It's even prettier than in the pictures and he is an amazing host :). 
4164549,50717286,2015-10-13,10237447,Kayvon,"We found ourselves in Ryan's awesome abode after several mishaps with previous hosts. We were in Austin for ACL and Ryan was able to accommodate on short notice. Location could not have been better. His space is within walking distance of Zilker Park & minutes away (via car) from 6th St/Downtown & other cool neighborhoods to shop & eat.

Ryan was quick to greet us and make us feel at home. Our hosts gave us plenty of privacy throughout the entirety of our stay. The space was clean & tidy, with plenty of towels, soaps, shampoo, etc. Bed was comfy.

He's got a very lovable puppy, albeit he's quite a large puppy that will warm up to you. He definitely packs quite the bark when he first greets you but is totally coo after he becomes acquainted l& doesn't bite :)

Ryan lives with his wife & baby daughter, they do a fantastic job of providing ample privacy, but being as accessible as possible via text.

Overall, a fantastic stay & I would definitely consider another stay next time I find myself back in Austin, which I'm sure won't be long ;)"
4164549,51399383,2015-10-19,1798314,Shane,"I felt very welcome. The apartment was immaculate, clean, simple and beautifully decorated. Not to mention the bed was insanely comfortable (kudos on that one guys). I would stay here again in a heart beat. There are also great restraunts walking distance from the house."
1460209,28008914,2015-03-16,26586633,Ami,"Jeff made us feel extremely welcome on arrival, despite us being a little early and went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best stay possible. The accommodation itself was beautiful and in a great location - highly recommend if you're heading to Austin any time soon."
1460209,49668567,2015-10-05,6388357,Michelle,"Jeff was a wonderful host! he was very accommodating with my erratic schedule and was there to greet us in person which was a first experience for me. showed us around the house and gave us helpful information needed during our trip. he was so very generous as well....had some local beer in house for me as well as allowing us to help ourself to whatever food he had. Jeffs home was just as described, very clean, perfect location, with plenty of room but the icing on the cake was how generous he was to sign a few autographs for my children and their friends! Jeff was a perfect host!"
1460209,50650609,2015-10-13,10117354,Mackenzie,"Jeff was such a great host! He greeted us when we arrived with drinks, a house tour, and instructions we'd need for our stay. He consistently responded quickly to emails and texts with answers to our questions and even recommendations on places to visit! The house was clean, spacious, and easy to access. Perfect for our group to enjoy ACL and our time in Texas! Thanks so much Jeff!"
628034,2201509,2012-09-04,3390331,Fabi,"The house was perfect! It had everything we needed and more. Everything was tastefully decorated, clean and very spacious. It was exactly as the pictures showed, it felt cozy and very inviting. It really shows that they took care of all the little details to make the house feel like a perfect home away from home, with all the luxuries of a boutique hotel.  It was in a great location, close to downtown and 6th street. Crystal gave us great recommendations to restaurants close by and a bike rental place. It was the perfect place for a wonderful and relaxing weekend! "
628034,2392656,2012-09-24,3250844,Clare,Crystal and Andrew were great hosts!  The complimentary coffee and beer and personalized welcome really made us feel at home. The beds were very comfortable and everything we needed was provided.  I would definitely recommend this house for a group of friends traveling to Austin for a weekend.
628034,2444154,2012-09-29,1340458,Diana,"Crystal & Andrew were wonderful hosts! They have the cutest home, and they were very thoughtful and accommodating. 
The house was very stylish and clean, and it truly felt like a home. I would have loved to give 5 stars, but unfortunately we had to knock off 1 star  because of the spotty wi-fi, which was a bit of an inconvenience for us. Crystal & Andrew were very responsive and tried to fix the internet problem, but I guess it just couldn't be helped.
5 stars for Crystal & Andrew, but 4 stars for the home.
"
628034,2477679,2012-10-01,3665785,Leti,"My friends & I decided on a weekend to relax & enjoy Austin.  Staying at Andrew & Crystal's house fit that bill for us.  The house is so cozy and inviting.  There were 6 of us for the overnight stay and we were very happy there.  The beds were comfy & house was nicely decorated.  We only wished we could have enjoyed the big beautiful backyard more & deck (rainy Saturday stopped that).  The house is only an $8-$10 cab ride from all the fun downtown.  Crystal left a personalized welcome note, some refreshments in the fridge -- we just really appreciated the hospitality. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks Andrew & Crystal!"
628034,2557524,2012-10-09,3146418,Miin,"Andrew and Crystal were amazing hosts.  They had everything ready for us - food, drinks, every day necessities... our stay was amazing and couldn't have asked for more.  Would definitely recommend!"
628034,2695682,2012-10-23,3281633,Sarah,"Andrew & Crystal's place was absolutely perfect for our ladies trip to Austin. They were extremely helpful with recommendations on restaurants, bars & other things to do in the city.  Their space is gorgeous, fully stocked and much more comfortable, charming and spacious than a hotel room.  We arrived to find a personal note including birthday cookies!!, as we were celebrating our friend's birthday that weekend (SO incredibly sweet!), along with other suggestions, tips, instructions of the house.

We were able to walk to many places nearby (within 15-30 min walk) and easily call a cab for things further away.

This was my first Airbnb experience and because of our AMAZING time at Andrew & Crystal's place, it surely won't be my last. I highly recommend staying here."
628034,2791451,2012-11-03,104846,Jessi,"My stay at Andrew and Crystal's was worry-free, comfortable, and inspiring. Communication was flawless, and they proactively made sure I had all the info I needed prior to check-in. The keypad entry meant I didn't even need to fuss about a particular time for key exchanges (which turned out to be so helpful as I spent far more time at the airport waiting for colleagues than I had anticipated). A custom welcome message was waiting for us when we arrived, along with a list of suggestions for local spots we might enjoy (we went straight for the Tex-Mex first thing, and it didn't disappoint!) The decor of the house totally matched my taste and the pictures--I couldn't get over the prints in the bedroom I chose. Artful and hilarious.

I can't stress enough how carefully these hosts have thought through what guests will need and enjoy during their stay. From a hairdryer to coffee to cleaning supplies that help you keep things tidy during your stay, it's all there waiting. On a transportation note: I was glad I'd rented a car, as it would have been difficult to get around/do errands otherwise. That's true of lots of spots in Austin, and I expected it going in, so no surprises there. 

One of the best stays I've had on Airbnb yet! Thanks so much, guys."
628034,2844451,2012-11-09,2423307,Reginald,Your place was a home away from home.  It was exactly what was listed on the website and more.  The cherry on the cake was that the house was just a few miles away from our project site which made it perfect for our stay. I highly recommend this home for a long or short stay in Austin.
628034,2927608,2012-11-20,3798359,Brad,"Andrew and Crystal were fantastic hosts for our stay in Austin for the Grand Prix.  They were very attentive to any questions we had, and gave very clear and timely communication regarding access to the house and any questions we had about amenities.   The house was located conveniently close to downtown Austin as well as very close to public transportation options.   It was an extremely cozy place to stay.  "

628034,3033321,2012-12-05,931148,Robert,"The Hunter's Hideaway is why AirBNB is a success.  Three guys down from New York City and Philadelphia, no rented cars, lots of meetings, busy schedules at a hectic conference -- totally ordinary, mind numbing  agenda -- but Andrew and Crystal's space was the antidote.  Close enough to everything, very nicely appointed, thoughtfully fixed up:  why on earth would we have tried to find a room in an ordinary (but really expensive) hotel?  Thank you two very much!  (Please note: ""Hunter's Hideaway"" was an instant inspiration and you can use it all you want!  :-)   )  Specifically I want to come back for South by so I can arrange a bar-b-que in the back yard.  "
628034,3229422,2013-01-02,4044456,Seema,"Andrew and Crystal's place was an amazing lovely home away from home.  It was cozy and convenient to the Austin night life. It feels like the two of them thought of all the details a guest would need on vacation.  Crystal communicated with me frequently to make sure everything was ok and to give suggestions.  We felt very well taken care of!
Thanks,
Seema"
628034,3326445,2013-01-11,2604725,Hannah,"This is an absolutely lovely apartment, lovely linen, beds and lounge to chill in.  Great big kitchen.  We loved our stay here.   Crystal was a great host, very communicative and helpful with suggestions about where to go in Austin."
628034,3520285,2013-02-11,4929369,Lacy,"Thank for a nice stay in Austin! Fantastic, clean home with hosts who are quick to respond when needed. Crystal even shipped items I accidentally left behind. We will be back!"
628034,3565940,2013-02-18,4275004,Archana,"We had an amazing weekend at the house. I hosted a bachelorette party there and the house easily accomodated our group. It was comfortable and beautiful, and easy to get around from. Andrew & Crystal were very prompt in answering all my questions before and during the event and there were clear instructions left for everything. I would strongly recommend their rental to anyone looking to enjoy a weekend in Austin. "
628034,3612586,2013-02-26,629205,Jennifer,The house was perfect for our bachelorette weekend. It was great to have the amenities of a house. The decor was adorable and slept 6 comfortably. Crystal left a great list of recommendations for things to do around the city. We are all very anxious to visit again.  
628034,3632484,2013-02-26,2993564,Zoe,"Andrew and Crystal were absolutely wonderful hosts! It's always hard to know how true the property will be to the photographs, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the property was even better than expected. Exceedingly well-stocked, the house is well-situated in downtown Austin and ready for any occasion. I will not hesitate to return next time I'm in Austin! "
628034,3682111,2013-03-04,693964,Dana,"Andrew & Crystal's house is a gem in a wonderful up and coming section of Austin.  It was exactly the style, feel, and vibe we were hoping for!  I could not have imagined staying elsewhere for our trip.  We had several changes to our itinerary and Crystal not only responded right away but made the process as easy as possible!  The house itself has everything you could need and was very comfortable.  It's close enough to the action of downtown, SoCo and the great bars and restaurants of 6th street, but far away to get some peace and quiet.  It's a perfect house for 6 people but more than that might feel cramped.  If the house accommodates your group's size, do yourself a favor and stay here!  You'll be glad you did!  "
628034,3722509,2013-03-08,5052449,Richard,"We stayed for SXSWedu. The place was just as advertised, pictures totally accurate, and all logistics were on point."
628034,3868798,2013-03-23,4962456,Joan,"We had a great experience at Andrew and Crystal's house in Austin.  All the quality touches we there, nice bedding, nice towels, and it was super clean.  Crystal accommodated us with a portable crib, too, which was great to have for the baby.  The location is great, close to downtown, the Capitol, LBJ.  We were very comfortable and would highly recommend staying here."
628034,3917035,2013-03-27,4865193,Neki,"Other than overlooking a ""slight"" factor of there being only 1 bathroom in the house, I was praised thoroughly by my fellow bridesmaids for choosing this home as our residence during our bachelorette getaway :) Fully stocked and maintaining warm water through the day this was a very well-equipped home that fit our needs perfectly. The owners were very generous in accommodating 10 girls, and providing air mattresses along with it :) All in all, a very wonderful experience!"
628034,4178824,2013-04-16,4922260,Elizabeth,"My husband and I came to Austin last weekend for my niece's wedding, along with our adult daughters, one son-in-law, and toddler grandson.  My niece had booked discounted hotel rooms downtown for her wedding guests, but for less than we would have paid for 3 hotel rooms for 3 nights, we were all able to stay in Andrew and Crystal's wonderful, comfortable and well-appointed home.  Crystal could not have been more responsive to any request. The house was centrally located to everything on our agenda. It was spotlessly clean and full of everything we could possibly need.  It was wonderful having laundry and ironing facilities, the full kitchen, the comfortable living area.  We are coffee hounds, and the Keurig coffeemaker got A LOT of use!  Having such a lovely home where our family could leisurely gather made the wedding weekend so much more fun and convenient than staying in hotel rooms.  Thank you, Andrew and Crystal, for everything!  We would not hesitate to return or to highly recommend this home to anyone looking for accommodations in Austin."
628034,4246495,2013-04-22,5254742,Abby,"My friends and I absolutely loved our stay at this house! Close to all the cool stuff we wanted to do, and the house had all the amenities and little touches that home does. AMAZING back yard and patio! Highly recommend. "
628034,4272751,2013-04-23,4978758,Nick,Was a great place to stay...had everything we needed for the night...Crystal was very helpful and provided all the information we need for a comfortable stay...
628034,4333245,2013-04-29,966943,Stephanie,"I used to live in Austin and this trip made me so Austin-sick.  I want to move back, specifically to this house.  They house was so nice, and very well stocked.  I was sad to leave!  Andrew and Cystal are very quick to respond, and that made our trip that much easier.  "
628034,4444425,2013-05-06,5025077,Chris,"What a lovely home! We did some sprucing up and it worked perfectly for our needs. If we come to Austin again, we're staying here!"
628034,4531209,2013-05-11,2107070,Brian,"Had a great stay in Crystal's lovely home, it was three of us in town for business and it was the perfect place for the week. The house is very well accomodated/stocked- kitchen, bathroom, linens, everything (very comfortable beds!). the backyard was a great place to unwind and grill! I would recommend staying here when in Austin. The one thing to think about is that you need a car to go out- not many options close by on foot.  "
628034,4699131,2013-05-21,4635232,Steve,"Andrew and Crystal were great to deal with. The house was perfect for our needs. It was clean and well appointed with all the modern requirements. It was obvious Andrew and Crystal  take great pride in hosting people as the all aspects of our needs were put in place well before we even arrived. I look forward to coming back next year and staying again. 

Regards,

Steve & The gang"
628034,4827567,2013-05-28,4957249,Jim,"The house was very nice, slept 6.  The backyard area is awesome, large deck with a table and chairs and a huge backyard also with a few tables and chairs.  The kitchen is nice, though we did no cooking it would be good enough to cook a whole meal.  One bathroom may be difficult for some, but for us was not an issue.  The bedrooms have beds large enough for two.  The living and dining room areas are well appointed and comfortable for hanging out.  

The neighborhood seems to be getting nicer, but a short walk(10-15 min) has you in the bars, restaurants and shops on E Sixth St and about 30 min walk to downtown.  We rented a car which was necessary to get to some of the areas we wanted to go further south and west than downtown, which we had no trouble parking in the driveway, but street parking seemed fine too.  

Crystal and Andrew left some beer in the fridge and a bottle of wine for us which was so nice when we got to the house.  The lists of restaurants, bars and shops Crystal left for us was extensive and super helpful.  Our whole group felt that we would stay again and would very much recommend friends and family to stay as well."
628034,4906519,2013-06-01,3743785,Phil,"No complaints at all, easy to find, easy to checkin, easy to checkout, comfortable as my own home - would stay here again the next time I'm in Austin!  Thanks Crystal!"
628034,4950298,2013-06-03,2961202,Nousha,"We had a fantastic experience in Crystal and Andrews Boutique Style Home. The house was modern, clean, and luxurious. The location is excellent for taking a cheap cab downtown, and we felt very secure with the house's alarm system. Crystal was very easy to communicate with and the check-in/out process was effortless. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay, and would definitely recommend this property to others visiting Austin. "
628034,5116175,2013-06-13,420610,Danielle,"Crystal's place was beautiful and met all of our expectations.  I traveled to Austin with two co-workers, and there was ample space for all of us.  Attention to detail is a plus at this location as Crystal put a lot of effort into decor and creature comforts.  You will not have a local cold beer waiting in the fridge for you at a hotel! We enjoyed relaxing on the patio, and the location was convenient to everything."
628034,5291612,2013-06-23,2191629,Jared,"Just as advertised, very spacious and cosy not to mention how easy it was to communicate with Crystal. We were too busy to enjoy the massive backyard but if you are a larger group this place is perfect for a home away from home.

Aloha,

Jared  "
628034,5330980,2013-06-24,6947386,Jinay,"Crystal's 3 bedroom house was great and well-enjoyed by my friends and myself. It was clean, secure and at a great location, close to the UT Austin campus. 

I would certainly recommend this place to others.

Crystal was very helpful in suggesting places to visit and things to do. She was very responsive as well."
628034,5467970,2013-07-01,2576633,Megha,"Crystal was a wonderful host! The place was perfect for my family, the logistics were clear, and there were even little notes and presents for us!"
628034,5684709,2013-07-11,5055676,Phil,"Great house, great hosts. Very enjoyable experience, def. recommend."
628034,5715123,2013-07-13,4656121,Dani,"We had such a great stay at Crystal's house in Austin.  The house was clean, spacious and filled with everything one could need during a short-term to extended stay.  The bedrooms were perfect, as advertised, and the back patio was a nice place to hang out.  The assorted beers in the refrigerator and bathrobes were both very welcomed surprises.  I fully recommend anyone to stay at Crystal's house."
628034,5907727,2013-07-22,6369028,Jane,"Loved, Loved, Loved staying at this chic little house near downtown Austin.  Crystal was very thoughtfull and left us information of places to eat and hang out.  The little makeup nooks in each of the closets made up for having just 1 restroom.  We had a blast - Thank you again Crystal."
628034,6076606,2013-07-29,5016239,Rich,"We had a group of guys staying at Crystals place for a bachelor party.  The house was very clean and very well appointed.  We loved the suggestions Crystal left for us and the keypad lock is a nice feature when with a group of people.  The backyard is HUGE and the place was extremely clean.  Crystal made sure the house was stocked with plenty of amenities and the beer in the fridge was a great touch.  Getting into downtown Austin is super easy (5 mins) and there are great places to eat/drink in East Austin.  Crystal had by far the best communication I've experience, wonderful to work with.  Highly recommended!!!"
628034,6191016,2013-08-03,6034476,Colette-Jane,"Staying at Crystal and Andrew's home in east Austin was perfect for our group of 6. The house is a great size, big and cool and a great yard out the back. When we asked of there was a kettle as we couldn't find one, we came home to a brand new one sitting on the porch waiting for us- really taking the hospitality to the next level. 
The location at first seemed a while away but once we got our bearings- it actually is quite central but out of the hustle and bustle. I think if I was to go back I would definitely stay there again- maybe I would hire bicycles the get to understand  my surroundings quicker. Great town, great house, great people. Thanks Crystal"
628034,6268457,2013-08-05,5191643,John,"Crystal and her house are great.  Crystal is was very prompt in responding to my messages and was very nice when I met her.  Her house is fantastic, she leaves beer,  wine and coconut water in the fridge.  This helps you feel at home right away.  I couldn't have enjoyed my stay at this Airbnb and more.  It was (website hidden).  If you are lucky enough to stay through Sunday morning you will be treated to a gospel breakfast thanks to the baptist church across the street.  It was awesome!!!"
628034,6438403,2013-08-12,7784793,Kurt,"We had a great stay.  The house was impressively equipped for me & my girlfriend, her parents, and another friend to have plenty of private space indoors.  The back yard was a perfect setting for playing bocce during the day and transitioning to cocktails on the patio before taking the short trip downtown.  

The host has paid great attention to cleanliness, style, and detail in the property, and kept excellent communication with our group before, during, and after our stay."
628034,7014826,2013-09-03,226430,Katie,"Crystal was a great host and had all the basic amenities for our use. She left great general information about the home and neighborhood and even provided more personable details catered to our needs. The neighborhood is very central and the home was nice, comfortable and as advertised. It is located across the street from a school so expect to hear morning and afternoon traffic in the front rooms. Even though there is only 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms, we were able to work it out with 6 girls. I would definitely consider staying in this home again the next time I'm in Austin."
628034,7911791,2013-10-08,277573,Kate,"Stepping into this house was a huge treat. The house is really charming and so well looked after - incredibly clean, and any amenity you could hope for including beer and wine in the fridge, and an easy to use coffee machine. We were given personal recommendations from Crystal, and the deck and backyard were really enjoyable. It was a short 10 minute bike ride into the centre of town and we loved local cafe Hillside Farmacy. Thanks so much Crystal! "
628034,8148014,2013-10-18,4327083,Denise,"Austin was set as the location for our son's destination wedding, and with family and friends, we converged on all 3 of Crystal's fabulous properties for several days during this event. Crystal gets 5 stars for everything from start to finish. Her quick replies and gracious communication for months before the trip made me confident we'd chosen the right AIRbnb. She and her assistant exceeded our expectations in every way. This is Texas hospitality at its finest!!! Clean, beautiful, stylish and inviting accommodations with extras like wine and beer in the fridge, white fluffy robes to use in each bedroom, security systems to utilize, super easy check-in and check-out...I would most definitely stay here again! Crystal saved the day with her recommendations for restaurants and other fun stuff-saving us from an accidental bad meal and excessive driving...I couldn't recommend her highly enough. We were located super close to downtown and to the airport, and to 6th Avenue fun and frolic, near lots of great eating spots. By far our best AIRbnb experience to date!"
628034,8256247,2013-10-22,8811392,Mary,"We had a lovely stay at Crystal's place in Austin. Crystal was so easy to deal with, and quick to get back to us with any queries we had. She also provided some great recommendations of restaurants to try nearby. 
Thanks Crystal for helping to make it a memorable weekend for our family!"
628034,8372721,2013-10-28,2199027,Norma,"We had a wonderful time at Crystal's East Austin house.  It's lovely, with a very nice backyard and deck which we took advantage of.  The beds were comfortable, bathroom clean and the updated kitchen provided everything we needed for our weekend stay.  The best thing about the the is its location to the center of Austin.  We were just minutes from the state capitol, where our event took place.  Thanks, Crystal, for sharing your charming property with us!"
628034,8627292,2013-11-09,1355516,Jonathan,"Fantastic house, with one caveat, and that's the distance to downtown. It's definitely a cab ride, but that's no problem with Austin's new taxi app.  Plus, John Mueller's BBQ is pretty close to the house as well, which - if you haven't had it - is *hands down* the best BBQ I've had in the city.

Communication with Crystal couldn't have been better. A quick reply when I booked it, a  quick reply when I checked in, and a quick reply when we left. And - I left a new sport coat at the apartment, and didn't realize it for about a week; Crystal was quick to go look for it and return it to me as well. 

No hesitations recommending this great apartment."
628034,8992683,2013-12-01,8488233,Guy,"Cannot say enough nice things about our stay. The house is in a perfect location, walking distance from two lovely breakfast spots and a few minutes drive to so many different Austin hotspots. There were 5 people staying in the house and it was comfortable. Loves having a kitchen and had the weather cooperated the backyard is very large with lots of seating. Highly recommend this AirBnB rental. "
628034,9113546,2013-12-08,8784516,Kathryn,"I was in town with a group of girls (and my husband) for a bachelorette/wedding weekend, and we all stayed at Crystal's house.  I really can't recommend it highly enough.  The house was so cute and well-appointed - we all wanted to move in permanently.  Great location.  Huge yard.  Plus, Crystal had thought of every single detail - beer, wine, eggs, bread, shampoo, hair straightener, loads of towels ... the list goes on and on.  Hopefully we'll be back soon, I miss it already!"
628034,9236803,2013-12-16,6766192,James,Had a brilliant stay with Crystal. Very accommodating and clean. A short 15min walk to 6th. Our stay was very enjoyable and I hope I can return someday! Thanks Crystal
628034,9535875,2014-01-02,5149978,Luika,Crystal's house was gorgeous! She truly does think of every little thing to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It almost felt like staying at a bed and breakfast! It's a quick drive to 6th street and there are a lot of nice places to eat nearby. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to visit Austin!
628034,9890329,2014-01-17,4575657,Jordan,"This is my second time staying at a place owned by Crystal. The place was terrific, clean, and convenient and Crystal is incredibly responsive. I absolutely recommend this home to stay. "
628034,9993725,2014-01-24,5412748,Frank,"The description of this home definitely matches with reality. We felt very welcomed by Crystal and greatly appreciated the welcome packet with customized suggestions based on what we told her we were looking for. Also, she stocks the kitchen and bathroom so were able to walk in, take a shower, them we had either wine, beer or coffee at our disposal all without unpacking or going to the store.

There are plenty of restaurants and food trucks nearby as well. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again!

The only downer to the stay was that the clothes dryer went out the day we arrived. She gave us lots of options from a laundrymat nearby to having the clothes dried at her place. The laundrymat is nearby and they gave us same day service so it was a very minor inconvenience that ended up freeing up more time for us!"
628034,10262108,2014-02-10,6468894,Cherng-Mao,"This building was awesome.  Three bedrooms and plenty of living room space.  It is a 10 minute commute to any amazing bbq place, bar, and downtown Austin.  

It was 6 guys who could sleep comfortably in an extremely clean and well maintained home.

Crystal was incredibly helpful and easy to get in contact with."
628034,10506619,2014-02-22,649950,Tom,Great place to stay in Austin. Crystal the host was super friendly and very helpful. Highly recommend this place.

628034,10791156,2014-03-07,1722557,Eric,The reservation was canceled 33 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
628034,11139541,2014-03-22,13101233,Jesse,"Crystal's accommodations were first rate as was her hospitality! We had a great time, and we were perfectly situated within Austin. We were a quick, 5 minute drive from everywhere we needed to be. I will definitely be booking with her again! "
628034,11173282,2014-03-24,11514301,Sammi,I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend stay.  The house was very clean and comfortable.  Crystal was very easy to communicate with and was quick to respond to any and all questions.  The weather was great so we took advantage of the comfortable back patio.  All in all this was a great place to stay and in the future I would stay again!
628034,11415530,2014-04-01,10970763,Andreas,We had a wonderful stay and felt very welcome. Crystal was very flexible and on spot with any request or advice on how to get the most out of the stay in Austin. Highly recommendable!
628034,11572254,2014-04-07,13814289,Pedro,"I rented this space for some friends who were visiting from out of town.  They were pleased with the comfort and cleanliness and proximity to downtown and the nice east-side spots.  I appreciate Crystal's friendliness, clear communication and professionalism.  Highly recommended.  "
628034,11653111,2014-04-10,13966615,Julian,"Great space. Very comfortable beds and linens. Amazing back yard and excellent location for restaurants and bars, but not too close. Complimentary beer, wine and coffee also a nice addition. Will try to book again on my next trip to Austin."
628034,11899443,2014-04-18,1867033,Julie,"Our family of 2 adults and 2 children had a great stay at Crystal's house.  The house was well equipped and comfortable, plenty of space for us.  The beds and linen were super comfy and made for a relaxing stay.  Crystal was a great hostess- provided personalized recommendations for the area and responded promptly.  We had a car and drove to the sights in Austin.  I would definitely recommend Crystal's house if you're heading to Austin."
628034,12021486,2014-04-21,2402961,Osvel,We really had a great time in crystal place... Her suggestions were really helpful and her house is amazing just as the photos... Patio was great too .... Really close from downtown and bars 5 minutes driving ... Definitely I recommend crystal's house ... You won't be disappointment ...
628034,12376790,2014-04-30,6413382,Stephanie,We had an amazing time at Crystal's place. It was clean (with lots of towels :)) and well-maintained. She was also very flexible with check-in and check-out time as long as there are no other bookings on the same day. She was very responsive and offered personalized recommendations about Austin. She also went out of her way for us (which we greatly appreciated!) when my friend left her coat in her house. Definitely staying here again when I get a chance. :)
628034,12554204,2014-05-05,13778358,Chris,"Excellent stay for our group! Crystal pays great attention to detail. Huge backyard with great fire pit. Rooms were cute, as well. We had everything we needed. Had a blast in Austin! Enjoyed the food all over. Only complaint is that the cabs were   awful and took forever for a pick-up. Austin really needs Uber! However, no complaints on Crystal's end. Thanks again!"
628034,12878204,2014-05-13,6769818,Stephen,"Crystal was great! She is extremely prompt and well organized, providing you your own personal guide to the area. As for the house, it is a well-kept and beautiful space. The backyard and deck are great for lounging around outside and the inside was the perfect size for our 6-person group. The house comes well stocked with everything you could possibly need to stay in and cook, provided the weather is bad, and its only about a 10-15 minute walk to the bike share and restaurants/bars. 

Overall it was an amazing experience and I would recommend the space to anyone with a larger group staying in Austin. One word of caution, however, if you do not have a car you should enjoy walking/biking, because our experience with getting yellow cab to the area was horrendous! "
628034,13527957,2014-05-29,2039752,Chris & Kim,My friends and I rolled I to Austin LATE looking for a place to stay.  Crystal was Very flexible letting us stay in the last minute in her great place.  We really enjoyed the back porch and the peddle can races back to the house from 6th street!
628034,13688456,2014-06-02,5811640,Alyssa,Myself and six college friends decided to have a reunion in Austin. We had a wonderful time at Crystal's. Accommodations were perfect. No complaints at all! 
628034,13876766,2014-06-07,1550120,Seth,"Beautiful space, and back yard! We rented a car, which was nice and convenient for going to the conference center, although some of us walked the couple miles which worked too. Thanks for the pleasant stay!"
628034,13943723,2014-06-09,2728769,Katie,Crystal was so organized and quickly replied to my questions. Check-in was easy and the house was perfect and easily fit seven of us. Crystal was incredibly thoughtful and left us customized bar and restaurant recommendations for our girls weekend in Austin. Crystal is an excellent host and I recommend this listing to anyone looking for a great place to stay while visiting Austin. 
628034,14132914,2014-06-12,5473262,Ryan,"We had a great time in Austin.  Very close to downtown, even closer to a bunch of great spots for food and drink, and 3 comfortable bedrooms to rest up in.  HUGE back yard and welcome beers and wine are great bonuses too.  Host is extremely responsive and accessible which makes a world of difference."
628034,14204728,2014-06-14,1098728,Kyle,"We stayed here when we were in Austin for a wedding for the night before we could get into the hotel block, and boy do I wish we could have just stayed for the entire wedding weekend!  Crystal's house was exactly as advertised and a fantastic deal!  The fridge was stocked, everything was super clean and the guidebook/welcome packet she provided turned out to be super helpful.  Communication was a breeze as she responded almost instantly to any inquiry.  The beds were comfortable, and the shower was excellent!  Further, she had cable and an iPod speaker which made getting ready for our rehearsal dinner super easy and fun!  When we come back to Austin we will definitely stay here! "
628034,14304978,2014-06-16,5257985,Diana,"Crystal was very communicative in all respects.  The home was neat and cute and the beds were very comfortable.  I loved the neighborhood…it is an area of renovation, so lots of diversity.  The church across the street started playing great, spiritual music early Sunday am and one could not be sad in an atmosphere like that…except sad to leave this cool spot!"
628034,14604892,2014-06-23,13896830,Lauren,"I stayed at Crystal's home in late June for a bachelorette party. This house was absolutely perfect for us! Crystal was extremely responsive before and during our stay-- answering questions and providing recommendations. Crystal was so helpful with little details, too. For instance, she ensured plenty of extra towels were on-hand when I told her we would be laying out at Barton Springs during our trip. The house was clean and cute, and I thought it was a nice touch that there was plenty of bathroom products (shampoo, conditioner, etc) as well as k-cups, wine and beer available. Overall, it was perfect for our group of six and I would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. "
628034,15187029,2014-07-04,7045407,Eunice,Beautiful home and a great location. Crystal was gracious and always reachable when I'm in doubt. Truly blessed to have found such an amazing house and host...Really couldn't ask for more! 
628034,15608332,2014-07-12,8161098,Jenna,Crystal is a grew host! She is extremely quick to reply. We had a great time in Austin!!
628034,15679910,2014-07-14,6579851,Paul,"Everything about this was impeccable - the prior communication, the neighbourhood, the really beautiful house, the generous provision of food and drink supplies. Just wonderful. Stay here. "
628034,16147119,2014-07-22,17796101,Tracey,"Our host Crystal was incredible at communicating the whole time we were at her beautiful home. She responded within 30 minutes with any communication we were having. The pictures represented the home perfectly. It was clean, stocked with everything we needed including games/books and the backyard was tremendous. Having three bedrooms was so great, room to spread out. We entertained a couple family members who live in the neighborhood and they were really impressed with the home. I love the neighborhood. Great suggestions of things to do and restaurants from Crystal in Welcome book. I would highly recommend this place to others. "
628034,16280422,2014-07-24,3424904,Felix,"Crystal was a great host. We booked the day before our arrival in Austin and everything went great even on such a short notice. Crystal was very helpful and had great recommendations about things to do in Austin. The house itself is awesome, tastefully furnished and decorated, can easily sleep 7 persons and the backyard is amazing. Great location near downtown attractions. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
628034,16483468,2014-07-28,787606,Laura,"The photos listed are accurate. This house is so cute! The beds are comfy and everything was very clean! I rented the house for a small gathering of friends who were visiting from out of town. We stayed in and had a private chef grill a delicious feast for us! Everything you need to cook- out and host a small dinner is provided. The back deck is huge and there is plenty of seating. Perfect to just chill and enjoy the company of friends.
All of the appliances are in excellent condition.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood, right across the street from a middle school and a church. Sunday morning was fun to see all the ladies dressed up! The house is in a super sweet location, right downtown and walking distance from a lot of cool restaurants and bars. However, it is also in the middle of Austin's historic East Side, whose culture is quickly disappearing. Please respect the neighborhood and its people. "
628034,16739953,2014-08-01,12592273,Tom,"Crystal's place is really great. 3 really nice rooms with suuuuper comfortable beds. The place is well located, and Crystal was really kind in helping us out via text with some advise on Austin and surrounds. Would highly recommend!"
628034,16942048,2014-08-04,18819219,Deva,"Crystal was a wonderful host who left us a list of super fun suggestions for things to do, not to mention a fully stocked bar and a beautiful and extremely comfortable home. Everything we needed was there and then some. We'll definitely be back! "
628034,17165690,2014-08-08,7799372,Joy,"wow, where do I start ... it's simply a home away from home.  It was so clean and comfortable.  We loved having our breakfast on the deck at the back of the house.  We lacked nothing here - it had everything to make our stay comfortable.  Crystal is a great host and communicator and we loved the personal touch of leaving us suggested dining, entertainment and sights to see in Austin based on our requirements which Crystal got from us prior.  What can I say ... we loved everything about the home and host and we will certainly recommend this home.  Wish we could have been there a little longer to enjoy the wonderful selection of books."
628034,17752428,2014-08-17,5334867,Tobias,"I stayed together with 2 colleagues for one week in Crystals house. The house has three spacious bedrooms, and a large living room and kitchen. There is also a huge garden! Crystal is an amazing host, the house is awesome and Austin is a great city! Totally recommend staying there!!"
628034,17987109,2014-08-19,12035841,Marvin,"I loved this location. It was quiet and private. The property was everything that Crystal described it to be, and more. I definitely suggest using this location when in Austin. It's just minutes from downtown as well."
628034,18205409,2014-08-23,3058818,Kate,The place was great! Crystal was a very sweet and attentive host. Great outdoor space and super comfy beds! I definitely recommend this place for a visit to Austin!
628034,18898826,2014-09-02,412167,Adriana,"What a cozy, comfy and cute house! My folks, significant other and I were in Austin for the long weekend and we were all so happy we chose this East Austin pad. It was so comfortable, clean and centrally located. The back yard was awesome and we really enjoyed hanging out in the house as much as exploring the city. Crystal was more than accommodating and a perfect communicator. We look forward to visiting again soon. "
628034,19012495,2014-09-04,10246088,Kristen,"Staying at Crystal's home in Austin was the perfect way to experience the city. I was doing a cross-country road trip with my dad and brother, so we were thrilled upon arriving in Austin to have our own rooms and a full-size kitchen, living room, and bathroom ;). The house itself is just as pictures and the location is very close to downtown and the University. We had a great time exploring the city and checking out the local restaurants, bars, food trucks, and day-time activities that Chrystal prepared specifically for us, which was above and beyond what we could have asked for from a host. Definitely the best I've experienced through Airbnb thus far. Additionally, Chrystal was incredibly communicative from the beginning and throughout our stay, making sure everything we could possibly need was taken care of; again, just above and beyond what is called for from a host.

If your visiting for Austin for a few days or few weeks, I would highly recommend staying at Chrystal's home!"
628034,19127148,2014-09-07,17734393,Brody,"Crystal provided everything we needed to have a great stay. She is very on the ball. I also appreciated that she left us alone to do our thing but was available via cell phone if we had needed her. 

The house was very clean, very spacious and had great wireless internet and cable with an HD tv. Plenty of towels and extra sheets. Everyone in our party of 6 said they would gladly stay in the house again. It made our trip very enjoyable. And thankfully the AC worked great because it is HOT in Austin. 

Go BYU! "
628034,19414475,2014-09-12,18896268,Phoebe,Crystal was amazing and accommodating from the moment I booked the house.  She was on top of communication and quick to offer tips for my trip to Austin.  My friends and I all enjoyed our stay immensely and kept commenting about how great the house was.  We felt very much at home on our vacation.  Can't thank Crystal enough for everything!
628034,19522551,2014-09-14,4798608,Jana,"This is a great house in East Austin.  It fit our party of 6 perfectly.  Crystal was easy to work with and made our check-in/check-out process a breeze.  She left us a list of near-by places to eat/drink, and although they were somewhat within walking distance, I would recommend having a car for this particular property.  Most restaurants are at least a 15 minute walk away, plus parking a car was not a problem for us.  Most downtown restaurants have affordable valet, and there are plenty of public lots. All-in-all a great Austin house!"
628034,19704315,2014-09-16,20934374,Andy,A great stay here - a home from home after a long flight with attentive and personal touches from the host. 
628034,19820701,2014-09-19,18111223,Mary,"When we arrived we found a note welcoming us to help ourselves to anything in the refrigerator. The kitchen was very well equipped with a French press coffee maker - a nice surprise. Everything was clean and neat, and the decor throughout is delightful. Especially appreciated was the nice collection of books as well as notes to help us find great places to visit, shop, drink and dine around Austin. Highly recommended."
628034,20010981,2014-09-22,8517386,Alejandro,"I wish Crystal and Andrew could host every Air BnB. This is my 2nd time staying at one of their homes and I am looking forward to returning. Between the amenities to the personal recommendations that Crystal made for us, my friends & I wanted for nothing. All the comforts of home while feeling like a local when visiting the great neighborhood spots. Thank you Crystal & Andrew. Until next time!"
628034,20363584,2014-09-28,20937370,Debbie,Everything was great and perfect for what we needed.  We didn't have any issues. Plenty of towels and linens. The house was clean and each room at a vanity in the closet. The owner sent me an email to check in that we were doing fine. Neighborhood was quiet. 
628034,21511492,2014-10-19,19745910,Emily,"Crystal made sure we were set for our trip to Austin, communicating regularly and making sure we had everything we needed. We had a few issues come up during our stay and she responded incredibly quickly. Lovely home!"
628034,21809662,2014-10-24,4731222,Julie,"Though we were only here for one night, Crystal made us feel extremely welcome.  There was complimentary drinks and even kids yogurt in the fridge for the little ones. Not sure if that was put there intentionally after I mentioned we were traveling with small kids but it was still awesome to see. The house was beautiful and the neighborhood is very quiet. I would definitely want to stay here again when visiting Austin with a group of friends."
628034,21936963,2014-10-27,2097281,Ryan & Lisa,We rented Crystal's place for our wedding weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. The backyard was great for an intimate gathering of our closest family and friends - we enjoyed great food and drinks in the light of the tiki torches and xmas lights. The house had plenty of space for the bridal party to stay the night before the wedding and the beds were SO comfortable! The decor and ambiance of the house was so tasteful and unique and all the amenities made our stay super smooth and comfortable. This place is the best! 
628034,22072665,2014-10-29,20196767,Hamish,"We had a fantastic time staying at Crystal's house. The house has been recently refurbished and each of the rooms was very comfortable. The location was an easy walk to great bars and food vans on East 6th Street, and then an easy walk into downtown. But the house is in a quiet location so you'll be sure to have a great sleep. All up, a perfect spot for a weekend in Austin. "
628034,22237167,2014-11-02,8162358,Lauren,"Crystal was the most incredible host we could have asked for! she was  so accommodating from before we even arrived, making sure we knew how to enter the house and making sure our arrival was flawless. From that moment on we were completely taken care of and felt like we were home way from home. The house had everything we could have needed and more from the coffee maker stocked with coffee and creamer to the beer and alcohol there for us to drink. The beds were so cozy and the backyard was stunning. I cannot say enough about how perfect the house was. We took Crystal's recommendations and went to a couple breakfast spots walking distance from the house and they were some of the best in Austin. I have lived in Austin before and would say this location is now my new favorite. Thank you for everything Crystal, we will definitely be back!"
628034,22374934,2014-11-04,22591291,Lou Anne,"We enjoyed this nicely appointed home which is near some very cool restaurants in east Austin. Very comfortable, and wish we had more time to enjoy the large backyard! Will definitely stay again when in Austin."
628034,22518325,2014-11-09,17048426,Jason,"We can't thank Crystal enough for her hospitality and wonderful home.  We came to Austin for my wife's 30th - 6 of us in all (3 couples).  We had plenty of space in her super nice house.  Tons of outdoor space too.  It's in East Austin too which to us was a big plus.  We saw quite a bit of the city and liked ""our"" neighborhood the best.  On top of an amazing house, Crystal provided us with excellent recommendations for things to do, see and eat (mostly eat for us) in Austin.  Definitely stay here if you come for a visit.   "
628034,22734109,2014-11-13,5383112,Mike,Crystal's house was amazing!  Very comfortable in a perfect location only a few minutes from downtown.  Crystal was exceptional and meticulous regarding communication.  Would HIGHLY recommend staying at Crystal's house when in Austin!
628034,23021862,2014-11-20,23665211,Erick,"This was my first Airbnb experience and will be the first of many. I was here for a work trip and this was way better than a hotel. Crystal had some great dinner recommendations and even left us some local Austin beers in the fridge. That was probably the greatest thing to come ""home"" to after a long day of travel. "
628034,23165796,2014-11-24,5961632,Ronald,Great experience at Crystal ' s place.  She had everything ready for us when we got there and even let us check in (website hidden) and other brevages in the fridge. Suggestions for local events and restaurants were a great touch.  I would recommend Crystal to anyone.  She is great!
628034,23356222,2014-11-30,18073488,Douglas,"My wife and I travelled from Ireland and we had family in from both coasts to celebrate my wife's special birthday.  None of us had ever been to Austin before and Crystal made us feel most welcome.  The house was fantastic and she was a gracious host, even sending over a few kitchen items (mixer, blender) that we needed in preparation for one of our home-cooked feasts.  Highly recommended..."
628034,23443610,2014-12-01,290792,Melinda,"I had my bachelorette party here and had a great time.  Crystal was very easy to communicate with and she even left us a DVD copy of  ""Father of the Bride"" to watch.  Thanks, Crystal!"
628034,23549749,2014-12-04,14199839,Jessica,"My husband, two small children (2 & 5 months) & myself stayed at Crystal's for my husbands 30th Birthday. What a fun experience! We are both from Austin-just moving away 1 year ago-so believe this local when I say this is a GREAT location. The house and backyard are perfect-it was clean & nicely renovated (we thought about squating because we didn't want to leave) :)  Crystal is a wonderful host-our first Airbnb experience-no more hotels for us. Next time we visit Austin we'll be staying here again! "
628034,23675671,2014-12-08,11369239,Jeff,"Crystal's house has to be one of, if not, my favorite AirBnB accommodation I've ever stayed at, and that's saying a lot! Beautifully furnished and decorated, cozy and comfortable, plush linens, she provided everything that we needed, and more, we didn't need to ask for a thing while we were at the house! She was also very attentive when we did reach out to her, and even customized a list of recommendations based on our own preferences. How awesome is that? Plus this neighborhood is really cool, and an easy drive to downtown. Thanks a million, Crystal!!!"
628034,23891006,2014-12-14,7508341,Elizabeth,"This house is beautiful and in a great location -- easy access to restaurants, bars, shopping etc.  We were amazed at how perfectly the house was stocked for guests -- robes, hairdryers, coffee, wine.  Crystal made it very welcoming and even left personalized recommendations.  I would highly recommend this location for anyone looking to explore Austin. "
628034,24267490,2014-12-24,32413,Elben,"This was a lovely, inviting home. We took advantage of the large backyard to hang out and grill, lots of stocked with lots kitchen equipment (even a coffee grinder and french press) and cleaning supplies. The bedrooms had comfortable beds (I think a double and two queens).

Great location too—a short drive and a nice walk away from many East Austin restaurants, bars, etc.

Crystal was very accomodating to our check-in and check-out needs—we really appreciated it."
628034,24459395,2014-12-29,12220887,Vikki,What an amazing time we had at Crystal and Andrew's fabulous house in East Austin! It was perfect for our group of five with fabulous amenities and attention to detail. It was also conveniently located to everything. Thank you for a memorable trip to Austin.
628034,24576023,2014-12-30,52310,Rita,"We had a great experience in Crystal's beautifully decorated house. It was a pleasant surprise to find the fridge full of welcoming goodies like cold beer and ice cream! Coffee,tea, everything was there, plenty of towels, shampoos and conditioners in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable and I liked the big mirrors in every room. Heating worked well. Austin is a great city and I hope to come back one day and take advantage of the big garden and the deck with BBQ. Crystal was very arranging with our departure time and left us a lot of useful advice as where to go out. I also loved the description she left about the town. Its a real holiday home."
628034,24716978,2015-01-02,526004,Husain,Great stay. House has all you need. I would def stay here again if I ever visit Austin in the future.
628034,25127454,2015-01-07,14960350,Tom,"Crystal was a fantastic host. She left us a personalised list of recommendations and attractions and was very good at communicating. The place was fantastic. It was clean, comfortable, extremely spacious & was stocked with everything you could want (bathrobes, hair dryer, washing machine etc). It was a perfect stay for 2 couples traveling. I would highly recommend this place for families, or groups of people traveling to Austin. "
628034,25274044,2015-01-11,6657721,Alex And Joshua,What an inviting place for a weekend get away. My family and I met in Austin for the weekend and we could not have asked for a more comfortable place. It is very well stocked and very thought out.
628034,25544984,2015-01-19,23977905,Elizabeth,Crystal's recommendations were great and the neighborhood was excellent--especially if you're excited about setting out on foot and exploring the city that way.  We found Austin to be easy to get around even without using public transportation--but we also found an abundance of Ubers and used the bikes in the BCycle program.  We loved it!  
628034,25978345,2015-01-31,26497319,Rafia,"Our stay at the house was wonderful. It's spacious and cozy, and Crystal was a wonderful host.

628034,26874065,2015-02-21,541877,Tiffany & Meredith,"We stayed at Crystal's home with my in-laws and 9 mos old. The home was lovely - came nicely stocked with a few snacks, beer and wine. The home also had a travel crib, which was so very helpful. It was located near some great food trucks and cafes. Most importantly, Crystal was accommodating and fast to respond to our needs! She had ordered next day Amazon delivery for items that made our life easier (like a tub stopper for bathing our baby). She is truly a wonderful host and very easy to reach and communicate with. "
628034,27252175,2015-03-01,10096862,Liza,A terrific stay at Crystal's house in East Austin. Better than described with care and attention from Crystal. Unfortunately the weather was not warm enough to enjoy the fabulous looking back yard and deck. Would definitely suggest a visit!
628034,27710510,2015-03-10,22694822,Marlene,Crystal is an amazing hostess! Everything was perfect when we walked in. We loved staying here and will be booking with her again when we come back! 
628034,28115889,2015-03-18,20605389,Richard,"The house was very comfortable and homey and impeccably decorated. A lot of care had been taken by our host to make us feel at home (e.g. Tito's vodka gift pack, a friendly welcome note, local beers in the fridge, etc). Was a very comfortable and convenient place to stay and I would highly recommend it."
628034,28536192,2015-03-25,29109216,Mike,The house was great and Crystal was very detailed about the whole experience which was very helpful. More than enough ammenaties even for 7 people. Awesome location and a very comfortable home. Thanks Crystal!!
628034,28611414,2015-03-27,5325243,Gabriella,"Both Crystal and the home in Austin were excellent. It was definitely not her first rodeo - she was organized, welcoming and very responsive. The unit was so chic and posh like a top of the line boutique hotel. Very clean and spacious with a huge backyard. Great location - quiet area but close to cool spots with an easy Uber ride. "
628034,28700041,2015-03-29,1983355,Kristin,"We had a bachelorette party stay here for the weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better setup. Crystal goes above and beyond to be an exceptional host. The house was exactly as described and we enjoyed the backyard the entire weekend. Thank you, Crystal!!"
628034,29721604,2015-04-12,1546535,Ian,"Wonderful place! Beautifully decorated & perfectly clean. When we arrived the fridge was stocked with beer & club soda--a nice treat after we'd all traveled all day to get to Austin.  
A short walk to restaurants, food trucks, and more. 
Crystal was easy to work with and always prompt with communication. 
Highly recommended. "
628034,29853724,2015-04-13,29479395,Shannon,"Crystal was prompt, and hugely informative.  She left tailored recommendations for us, and very clear simple instructions about the house.  The house was very comfortable, after camping for a few days it was the perfect space to wind down and relax.  The backyard is huge.  We were close enough to downtown, so that our cab fare was under ten dollars.  We were only sad we weren't staying longer."
628034,30185765,2015-04-19,21289774,Alyssa,Crystal was a pleasure to work with!   The house was super cute with a fabulous back porch and lovely yard.   She even left us some beers in the fridge and had a keurig for coffee in the morning.  Just lovely!
628034,30294267,2015-04-20,9106185,Geraldine,"My friends and I really enjoyed our stay in this lovely little house. It was clean and cozy and we felt right at home.
We didn't get to meet Crystal but she messaged us all the necessary information and our messages were answered promptly.
I only wish I could have stayed longer!
Thanks again (:"
628034,30671459,2015-04-26,27358660,Chelsea,"This was an amazing house for our friend's bachelorette party! The house is so cute and is in the perfect location for a weekend stay. We had great recommendations from the most wonderful host, Crystal. She was very accommodating to our questions and any extended checkin/checkout needs we had. The house is beautiful and just so cutely decorated - Crystal provided us with anything and everything you could think of. We didn't have time to utilize the amazing backyard- but on our next stay this is a must!! The location of the house is simpler perfect- easy walking distance to East Austin spots and a quick uber or cab away from downtown, Barton springs and other attractions. Couldn't say better things about this place! If you're looking for a place to have a great weekend with your friends - stay here! "
628034,30768743,2015-04-27,3125126,Catherine,"We used the space to host a birthday party for my son. Several of our out of town family members stayed the night as well.  Everything was perfect. The back yard was so nice, it was like having a party in a park. But with better bathrooms. The house was stocked with everything we could possibly need and my family enjoyed their overnight stay. Crystal was very accommodating to our needs for the party. Great location. Beautiful house. I was tempted to tell everyone that we lived there!  "
628034,31181841,2015-05-03,4810153,Heather,"Had an amazing time at the house on Pennsylvania. It was a great size and location for our bachelorette party of 6. We loved the comfy beds, and the well stocked kitchen, and spent a lot of time on the back porch enjoying the yard and using the grill. 
Perfect place to spend a weekend with the girls!! "
628034,31353307,2015-05-04,22591291,Lou Anne,"I love this house in East Austin- second stay. This time we made sure we had time to sit in the awesome large backyard with a nice deck on enjoy the weather and a cold lovable beer! Made our way to Haymarket for a great burger and to watch the Blackhawks game (they won)! The house is nicely appointed, very clean and the beds are super comfy. Crystal is extremely responsive and the electronic door key and alarm makes check in and out super simple. When in awesome would stay again and highly recommend,"
628034,31984669,2015-05-12,9520079,David,we had a fantastic time and crystal's place was a perfect launching and gathering spot for our group.  great location and well stocked!
628034,32157588,2015-05-15,4217494,Julian,This was an amazing first experience with Airbnb. Crystal and her home manage to make you feel cozy and right at home. It was a great place to put our feet up for a few days after taking on a weekend camping festival in the rain. It's a great location and Crystal is a great host. Very quick to reply when there were any questions. I plan to get back to Austin next year so hopefully this will be available. Thanks so much
628034,32318294,2015-05-17,27321436,Kirsten,"This was our first airbnb experience and it was flawless. Crystal was the perfect host, with great communication before, during and after our stay. The house was perfect inside and out. Great outdoor space and comfortable bedrooms with every amenity we could have possibly wanted. Just wish our stay could have been longer so we could have visited half of the food trucks that caught our eye! Thank you for helping make our trip to Austin so memorable!"
628034,32732585,2015-05-20,33583075,Ellen,"Thankyou so much for having us at your beautiful home last week. It was so nice to be able to stay at somewhere so central to town, and especially walking distance from Franklins. 

Crystal allowed us to stay at hers very last minute which we were all so thankful for. The house itself is absolutely amazing, and is fully stocked ready to go.

Thanks again Crystal. We loved Austin. 

"
628034,34273949,2015-06-07,26205472,Sean,"Fantastic experience. The house was perfect for our reunion. The yard is much, much bigger than than I was expecting. The beautiful tree provided lots of shade and entertainment due to the variety of birds and squirrels hanging out all day. And the ceiling fans in the bedroom were clutch. The house stayed nice and cool even though it was super hot outside. Can't recommend Crystal's house enough."
628034,34636876,2015-06-10,31685716,Mike,"My experience with this host and this property was excellent. Crystal was very responsive to any messages, requests or questions I had between booking and arriving at the house, which looked just as it did in the photos on the website. I was pleasantly surprised by how many things were in the house to make our stay easier or more comfortable. The house itself was charming, comfortable, lovely, with a nice little deck out back and a big yard, especially for being in a city. Just as we'd hoped, the house was an easy walk to some cool, low-key places, a few Tex-Mex restaurants, numerous coffee shops, some bars, and several food trucks. The experience did not feel at all touristy, which is just what my group was looking to avoid. Overall, my group and I had a great experience at the house and have no regrets about renting it."
628034,34903656,2015-06-13,12961919,Jonathan,"It was a great experience. This was my first AirBNB experience and Crystal made it so easy.  We had come into town for a conference and she provided references for where to go and what to do while we were free.  Having not been to Austin in a while, the places she recommended were great.  Will definitely book again and if I'm in Austin, this will be my top choice."
628034,35083768,2015-06-15,9173956,Lindsey,"We had a wonderful stay at this hip east Austin airbnb. There were 5 of us and we fit very comfortably in this 3 bedroom 1 bath home. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked with any basics you may need, coffee was provided, LOTS of toiletries in case you forget yours, etc. Overall a really perfect place for a group of 5-6. Thank you, Crystal, for the prompt communication, pre-trip checkin and for opening your home to us!"
628034,35349262,2015-06-17,22462049,Hayley,"Great place, great location and great host! "
628034,35728056,2015-06-21,35512224,Kayli,"This house is amazing! I'm so glad I found it for my birthday weekend. Perfect location, exactly what we needed. It is so close to everything and is such a nice house. It is definitely better than staying at a hotel! They provided so many things you would need. Tons of blankets, robes, toiletries, everything. Also, Crystal left us a personal list of recommendations based on what we were interested in doing during our trip. The backyard is Amazing! 
I'm so happy this is where I got to stay for my birthday, you would not regret staying here. "
628034,36361381,2015-06-28,10555776,Connie,"My friends and I rented Crystal's lovely home for a bachelorette party weekend in Austin.

Host: Crystal was great the whole time, from before I booked her place to after I checked out. She was very prompt with her responses to my questions. I asked her if she had any recommendations for activities and she wrote a full list for us! She really made the check-in (she sent a message with everything we needed) and check-out process very easy, and was flexible with the check-in time.  I plan on visiting Austin again and will definitely stay here if it's available!

Home/Amenities: The place was spacious with three very nicely decorated bedrooms, living room, and dining area.  We all loved how cozy it felt and all the little decorative touches really made us feel right at home. There were tons of shampoo and conditioner available, a keurig (which we made very good use of), a washer/dryer, a bunch of towels, and other helpful items. The house was really clean and we were able to find anything we needed easily. Unfortunately, there was only one bathroom but even with six girls getting ready, it wasn't too bad. Each of the bedrooms had lots of space to get ready in and even had small vanity tables and mirrors in the closets. 

Location: The house is about 15-20mins from the airport. Along the way there are a few stores and supermarkets you can stop at to stock up on snacks, drinks, or other items. The main area on E 6th st (where the bars are) is a bit too far to walk so you would need to drive there or cab it. We rented a car and the drive was pretty short.

We all had an amazing time in Austin.  Thank you again Crystal for renting us your amazing house!"
628034,37160376,2015-07-05,22461863,Riley,"Crystal's house had a great location and was very accommodating for three adult couples.  The house was extremely comfortable, prepared, and had several restaurants, bars, stores, etc in the near vicinity.  

Crystal was extremely helpful and I would highly suggest to friends and family, and will certainly be inquiring for my next visit to such a great city.  Thanks again Crystal!"
628034,37839980,2015-07-11,14837735,Andrew,"The house was just as advertised - awesome.  Crystal stocked everything that we could possibly need there.  She also provided some personalized recommendations that were spot on.  The bungalow had a nice, relaxed feel and served as a great base for exploring Austin. In terms of location, it was close to a lot of great places as well.  I highly recommend staying at Crystal's place, if you have the opportunity to make it to Austin. "
628034,38049256,2015-07-12,34545240,Michael,The place was absolutely perfect. Minutes from downtown made going out into Austin very convenient. The decor and the size of the house was remarkable.. everybody had a great time and were very pleased. There is nothing bad I can say about this location it had every amenity that you could ask for. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.
628034,38675868,2015-07-17,36527586,Guillermo Gil,"What a fantastic home in a super location. I felt exceptionally fortunate to land at this AirBnB, as it was perfect for my guests and I where this beautiful home was ours. This was my first AirBnB experience so I was anxious to say the least! The home was easy to find, and Crystal was a treat to deal with. My questions and messages were answered and replied immediately.  What can I say that hasn't already been said about Crystal, other than she lived up to all of the praise reported here prior!
 
Lastly, worth noting, the home sits on a very lightly trafficked street, that allowed for some wonderful daytime rest after a long night out on the town!

Thank you again for your kind consideration and gracious hospitality Crystal, we'd definitely consider booking your property again if available next time in Austin!

Cheers!
Gil"
628034,38776567,2015-07-18,21013608,Hanh,Crystal was a great host!  She was very responsive from the time we booked to the time we checked out.  The house was very charming and in a great location and had everything we needed.  
628034,38899235,2015-07-19,18194641,Krystin,"This is the perfect spot on the east side and the house is even better than the photos. It is nice and spacious with great decor and an amazing backyard. My friends and I were sad we were only in town one night and wished we could've enjoyed the house longer. 
On top of all that, Crystal is the best hostess. She responds quickly, provides great instructions, and makes you feel at home. I highly recommend this place for your next Austin trip! "
628034,39099450,2015-07-20,37443176,Anne,"It was my first time booking with Airbnb and I was so glad I did. My family and I were looking for a nice place to stay in Austin and was so happy to find this charming place. Crystal was very accommodating and booking was very easy. The place was very clean and had 3 comfortable rooms, perfect for 6 adults. I just adore this place and would book it again when we have the chance to visit Austin in the future. We have our 1 year old daughter with us and I requested a pack and play and Crystal had one ready for us in one of the rooms. Everything you need is in this place and a pretty neat backyard and patio. Thanks Crystal for being such a great host."
628034,39672978,2015-07-25,37980324,Ryan,Everything was wonderful. Would love to stay here again!
628034,41060527,2015-08-04,28958744,Renee,"This felt like the hip second home I would create if I'd had the idea and money. There was just enough space for a family of four for 10 days. Plenty of private space along with family space. Love the complimentary coffee, tea, shampoo, bath wash! I was able to keep up with laundry (with detergent provided) so that my return home was less hectic. Thank you! There were more than enough towels and robes for everyone and a library full of best sellers to borrow during down time. 

The kitchen was high end, marble counter tops, stainless steel appliances and a great gas range. Crate and Barrel dishes, heavy weight silverware and glasses. We were able to defray costs of our vacation by cooking in for breakfast and lunch. 

The decor is what you see in the photos. 
"
628034,42882545,2015-08-16,31164955,Tyeson,"This was a perfect home for spending time in East Austin while still being able to have quick access to other parts of the city. Check in/out instructions were clear, and the house had everything we needed and wanted. It was well stocked. It was a hot weekend, and this was the most comfortable place in all of Austin, thanks to the awesome A/C. There is plenty to do with-in walking distance or short trip in the car, most of which is suggested in the check in folder. You really don't even need to leave the neighborhood, which feels like authentic Austin. Thank you! "
628034,43489080,2015-08-20,1438620,Mick,"Crystal's house was the perfect spot for our group of 5 to explore Austin. The house was a clean, cool,  and quiet haven to come back to and enjoy the contents of the well stocked fridge on the back porch before heading out again to 6th St, which is only a short walk away. We didnt meet Crystal in person but she was always quick to reply to any queries, and left us a comprehensive list of local recommendations. We loved our stay here and would recommend this funky little place to anyone."
628034,44129218,2015-08-24,3493699,Alyssa,"This home lives up to every detail described in the posting. Not only was the home clean and well maintained, but Crystal also has quite the collection of magazines and books. She left our crew a few beer in the fridge and there were extra soaps left in the closet. My group of friends who stayed here cooked each night in the kitchen, which was fully stocked with dishes, serving utensils, coffee beans, a kuerig, etc... When we weren't cooking, a short 15 minute drive landed us Downtown, South Congress, Barton Springs etc.. great location. Our first night in town we took a stroll over to east 6th street...very walkable. "
628034,44983613,2015-08-30,34922563,Aasha,"House was lovely, and exactly as described! Great location, only a short drive from great restaurants and bars. Very comfortable and felt like home. Welcome packet was very detailed with instructions for the house and suggestions in the area. Also, Crystal was very responsive when I had any questions. Would definitely recommend to a friend!"
628034,45578954,2015-09-04,15178770,Kexiang,Perfect location to downtown. Very good restaurants nearby. The house is perfect for a group of 6 and more and is very clean. I highly recommend this place to everyone.
628034,45924669,2015-09-07,14254252,Katie,"A group of girlfriends and I all traveled to Austin for a quick getaway -- and we could not have picked a better place to call home for the weekend. The house was completely accommodating to all 7 of us girls -- we especially appreciated all of the extra towels, toiletries, pillows, and blankets that were provided. Crystal provided us a book with all of the information we'd need about the house and surrounding area, all within a quick walk or cab ride. "
628034,46613768,2015-09-12,10018326,Edrick,"Crystal's home in East Austin was exactly as described. It is situated in a neighbourhood that is rapidly gentrifying yet still retains its individual character. The home is spacious, clean and well maintained with a spacious yard and is situated either a walk or short drive away from some of Austin's best bars, restaurants and BBQ joints. 

Crystal provided a wealth of information about what to see and do that never felt overwhelming and really allowed my family and I to feel as if we had experienced what makes Austin unique and special. She was highly responsive whenever I reached out to her, communicates her expectations clearly and was, in my opinion, an ideal hostess. 

It was the first Airbnb experience for one of our guests and he was deeply impressed by the cleanliness, the amenities, and the spacious bedrooms. 

I would have no hesitations at all in recommending staying here for a visit to the city."
628034,46731568,2015-09-13,21181216,Brenda,We loved staying in your hip East Austin house!  It was as described and the extra treats were great.  Next time we will know all we have to pack is a toothbrush and our clothes!  It was a short walk to DKR where we cheered our Longhorns on to victory!  We will be back!
628034,47275715,2015-09-17,19793684,Desireé,Crystal's house is amazing. Really appreciated the attention to detail like bath robes and welcome drinks.  Outdoor space is wonderful and local recs were really appreciated.  Quick taxi or uber to downtown or SoCo. Wish we could have stayed longer.  Thank you!
628034,47629197,2015-09-21,34391512,Allard,Crystal was great.  She was very communicative and personalized welcome information to help us on our trip to Austin.  The house itself was very nice and perfect for our trip.  Very convenient for heading downtown as well as searching for food. 
628034,48994605,2015-09-30,31033321,Tatiana,"We had an absolute excellent experience at this location.  The house was perfectly clean, incredibly well-stocked with towels, linens, gourmet coffee, water and, even though we do not drink, liquor and beer.  
Communication was perfect.  They made themselves available through text/email and yet allowed us the privacy we all need while traveling.  
The property is located in a residential neighborhood and, as soon as you cross I-35 (5 min away driving), you are in the middle of everything.  The driveway was a plus, big enough for two cars to park. 
I cannot recommend this property enough.  Well-appointed, clean, spacious, and full of interesting details.  A genuine Austin gem."
628034,49194237,2015-10-01,42709234,Cathy,"It was my very first Airbnb experience and it was very positive one. Cystal house is neat , nice design and comfortable. Crystal was providing useful local information  and clear instruction about her house. I highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Austin! "
628034,49593487,2015-10-05,5178800,Bryan,Crystals place was great. She's a great host who left us drinks and great city recommendations during our stay. Would definitely stay and rent her place again. 
628034,49818526,2015-10-06,14920615,Jessica,Crystal was an excellent host! You can tell she really works hard on making sure her guests are taken care of. Her small touches really made our trip :-) 
628034,49922048,2015-10-07,14596922,Kim,"We had such a great experience at Crystal's Boutique Style home. The home is absolutely lovely and in a great location. The home itself is clean and modern with great details. Very comfortable. It comes fully stocked with a  plethora of bath robes! Makes it even more comfortable!! And we loved the fact that there was coffee and wine upon arrival. Perfect for us business travelers. Crystal is a fantastic host. Answered all of our questions very timely, pretty much instantly. She has a great reference book filled with specific directions explaining and answering anything and everything about the house. It also includes great references for restaurants and bars broken down to specific (website hidden). Vegetarian, Pizza, Burgers, Hip & Trendy, etc. So awesome. Next time we are in Austin, this is the only place we will stay. If it's available that is :-)."
628034,50823125,2015-10-14,20980782,Dallis,We had a fabulous time staying here for a wedding in Austin. We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. The house is so cozy and the beds and linens were so comfortable! We loved the full length mirrors in the bedrooms to help us get ready. The location is great and we really enjoyed relaxing on the outdoor patio in the back. We will be back for sure and I would highly recommend a stay here! Thank you Crystal! 
628034,50954271,2015-10-16,10554861,Elisa,"Check in was easy and we arrive to a notebook with information. We'd had a long driving day, so the small welcome tokens were much appreciated. Crystal was helpful while communicating before the booking and the house was awesome. The back porch was really nice in the morning before we started off another busy day. Everything was clean and beautiful, I wish we'd been able to stay longer than one night!"
628034,51125128,2015-10-18,20727190,Laura,"I absolutely loved Crystal's home and would highly recommend it. She is such a great hostess in that she literally had anything you could possibly need at her home whether it be a straightener, beer, comfy robes, toothpaste, a portable fan.. it was really nice. She also gave great recommendations and was quick to respond to any questions I asked. The style of the house is very comfy & cute - the area looks like it's going through the gentrification process and is right close to downtown Austin and some great coffee shops and restaurants. The house comfortably fit my group of 8 friends. We loved the home and would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
628034,52368576,2015-10-28,10277235,Danny,We had a great experience! The home was exactly as pictured and it was a much needed place to rest on our trip. Will definitely stay again if we return to Austin! Thx Crystal!
8253159,49811531,2015-10-06,4911308,Matt,"Crista's bungalow was fantastic during my stay in Austin.  

The accommodation was above and beyond expectations. Close enough to the city but nestled in a quiet residental community. Inside I felt extremely comfortable - very easy to feel at home! Crista was also a very thoughtful host. I felt very informed coming into my stay and got a helpful welcoming document in advance.

I can't think of anything that could have been better and would reccomend the place for other visitors.

Greatly appreciated my stay! Thank you Crista!"
8253159,50204336,2015-10-10,44345419,Mark,"I was one of the first people to stay in this place and it's really great--clean, modern, quiet, and very nice. If you are planning to have a car and don't need to stay within walking distance of downtown or campus, this place is perfect. The neighborhood is not quite as far north as Northwest Hills, about a 15-minute drive from downtown (with no traffic). The description and pictures are accurate, and Crista has done a great job of making the place welcoming (i.e., the kitchen has enough plates and mugs, the wifi works really well, the instructions on the place are straightforward). I stayed here alone while working for a few days at the university and think it would only work for one or two people, but I'm sure it's one of the best places you can find in Austin of its type. I'd definitely stay there again."
8253159,50656234,2015-10-13,1212111,Laura,"I really cannot say much more about the place other than ""Wow!"", and ""Can I live here?""  :) 
What a beautiful little bungalow, in a beautiful and safe part of Austin.  I loved that the entrance was private and separate and accessed through the back of the house from the backyard. Even though we had somewhat late nights coming in, I never felt like we were a burden or nuisance that could be heard.
Crista was efficient, communicative and friendly.  We met briefly while leaving one day, but honestly we did not require much at all during the stay since everything was so neatly laid out for us ahead of time,  and within the bungalow we had everything we needed once we arrived.  And I mean everything! Hair dryer, check. Iron/ironing board, check. Towels and amenities, check.  (That was a big help when packing, thanks Crista!)
We stayed three nights and we were so comfortable.  We were in town for the ACL festival and I cannot tell you how nice it was to come home to this pretty, little, luxurious place and be able to really relax from the long day.  The bed is way too comfy, and there is so much beautiful natural lighting in the morning, and it is so quiet, I had some of the best sleep I've had in days. It was really so peaceful, we couldn't have asked for anything more in a host or accommodations.  I look forward to staying here next time in Austin. :) Thanks Crista!!"
8253159,51543842,2015-10-21,43775401,Susan,"This bungalow is perfect!

I visited recently with my three year old daughter and the home like feel made the trip!  We loved the decor & the place had everything you could need. 

Christa was awesome & so sweet-- a wonderful host!

We will definitely stay here again if available when we travel back to beautiful ATX.

I'd definitely stay here again. Also, nice surprise is the view from around her neighborhood in the hills."

1682683,10911387,2014-03-12,12674736,Kate,LOVELY hosts!!! Katharine and James are awesome people who have a funky spirit for life! We thoroughly enjoyed staying on their property in the airstream and getting to know them a bit! My husband claims he actually had the BEST sleep of his life our first night!!!! Ha! Thanks Mays family for being such great hosts and making our stay comfortable and an experience we won't forget;)
1682683,10928702,2014-03-13,11510014,Anny,Gorgeous spot if you're seeking a true taste of Texas! Cozy & clean space provided by knowledgable and accommodating hosts! 
1682683,26085092,2015-02-02,1330312,Dan,"Kate was an excellent host, very warm and friendly and she stopped in just enough to make me feel comfortable and welcome.  I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the airbnb thing, feeling like I was intruding on someones home, Kate and her husband have broken me of that and showed me what a positive experience this can be.  After speaking with them for just a few minutes I felt like I was staying with friends I hadn't seen in a long time.  Their dog Treasure is welcoming to everyone also and made the stay that much more enjoyable.

The airstream is exactly as described, you aren't staying in the lap of luxury but it is cozy, warm and very clean.  I never felt uncomfortable or unsafe once.  I rather enjoyed the seclusion of the airstream vs. a hotel room, even if I had to use a port a potty and as Kate accurately describes the water isn't what I would call warm :)

If you read the description you will find no negative surprises here but probably some positive ones.  You will be staying amidst small farms or ranchettes just minutes outside of austin, heb was 5-10 minutes away yet I felt like I was staying at a remote and distant horse ranch.

All in all its a bit rustic but the price is right and the hosts are awesome so if you need an affordable place to crash in Austin this could be a great fit for you."
1682683,27937841,2015-03-15,7552064,Rob,"Kate was a fantastic host. And the Airstream was super cool. Horses, breezes, peaceful. What a great time. "
1682683,28104805,2015-03-17,21051111,Max,"What a fantastic place!! So close to downtown Austin and yet surrounded by the peaceful serenity of a horse ranch and huge nature preserve. 

Waking up to the sounds of horses and birds was nothing short of perfection :)

Kate and her family a wonderful hosts. The camper was comfortable. I really enjoyed my time there and will be sure to return if I come back to Austin in the future."
1682683,28282080,2015-03-21,5505901,Eric,If you're in Austin traveling solo you might as well check this life experience off your bucket list. Bring your own drinking water. The Airstream water is not potable. 
1682683,28767955,2015-03-29,6261533,Matt,"The campsite was very charming. It seemed very rural, but only minutes from downtown. The host was very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this property for anyone seeking a getaway without going too far!"
1682683,29794054,2015-04-12,30717432,Jim,"This Airstream worked out great. Great location, Kate and James we're very friendly.  Very quiet, I slept so well. I will definitely  call next time  I am in Austin"
1682683,49708056,2015-10-05,26075808,Talayah,"Had a great time staying in the Airstream. Kate and her family were great hosts. Kate welcomed me on arrival and checked in on me during my visit. I really enjoyed exploring the property and walking the trails around the house. The airstream was very comfortable, clean, and has everything you need. Only 10-12 mins south of downtown Austin. "
953345,5304507,2013-06-23,6872722,Bob,Very courteous. Landlord makes very little noise.. I like being able to control the temperature of the entire upstairs

3424674,20862655,2014-10-06,4713514,Boris,"Ryan was a great host, always receptive and would respond any questions we had. The house is located very close to downtown and it is exactly as it looks in the pictures. Great for a group to stay in, neighbors were receptive as well.

The house is very clean and almost brand new. "
3424674,21158302,2014-10-12,20237065,Flavio,"Ryan was out of town when we stayed at his place, but he made everything so convenient and he was responsive to all my questions. The home is very clean and comfortable. The home was further from downtown than I had hoped, but the taxi/uber/lyft rides were not that bad (approx. $12-20 one way). Overall great experience. I would stay here again and recommend it to anybody. "
3424674,21617317,2014-10-20,20225886,Eric,"This is my second time staying at this location, and it was just as awesome as the first time. Ryan is the absolute best. The house is AMAZING. It is so spacious, modern, accommodating and it's a great location. Ryan was willing to work with us on so much and he was the most accommodating host. I can't say enough how wonderful of an experience my two stays here have been and how great Ryan has been both times. I'd recommend this property to anyone and if you have the opportunity to have Ryan as your host, you should make it happen. He's going to make you feel at home, and provide the best stay possible."
3424674,21971118,2014-10-27,22048228,Monique,"Ryan was a reliable, communicative, and helpful host.

The house itself is amazing - well decorated, spacious, and exceptionally clean. The location was basically a short drive from everywhere we wanted to go. Renting out Ryan's space made our weekend trip in Austin that much better!"
3424674,26947900,2015-02-22,23938911,Ronnie,Awesome modern house in East Austin!  Very clean and Ryan was kick to respond to questions and anything that we needed.  Great Place!

3424674,29831712,2015-04-13,27903884,Brianna,Ryan was a great host and the house was amazing. The only problem was the people working on a house were not the nicest group. I would definitely recommend staying here! 
3424674,33080011,2015-05-25,28259079,Sarah,"The listing and photos were very accurate - Ryan's place was very clean and everything was as we hoped! The house is very new, modern, and the kitchen and bathrooms had nice granite, appliances, etc. He left fresh sheets and towels and even shampoo and coffee for us! It's easy to get downtown from the house ($8-10 uber/lyft) but I wouldn't call it a walkable neighborhood. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this house for a weekend in Austin."

The house was clean and tidy, and air mattresses were a huge plus with 6 people.  The neighborhood was great with only a $10 uber to downtown.  I'd stay here again in a heart beat. "
5384863,28179579,2015-03-19,28633713,Micah,"Thanks to Casey for an awesome stay. Her apartment is beautiful, modern, cozy, and quiet (just as it appears in the pictures); the onsite pool and fitness center are a great bonus. Casey was a consummate host: flexible, friendly, and even left me a dish of snacks and access to her coffee (a lifesaver my last morning there!). She communicated regularly before, during, and after my stay, too, with great directions to her place and a superb attitude. Thanks, Casey!  "
4129530,29890479,2015-04-13,1249119,S.,"We had a good stay here. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but very conveniently located; close to supermarkets and shopping areas.
The photos accurately show the house. The only thing that could be improved is a tidier bathroom. 
Chris was very responsive and nice to deal with. He also gave us helpful recommendations."

7172940,45974554,2015-09-07,35302015,Anthony,"Lou & his Travis Heights, Austin rental are the best. The apartment is clean, quaint, private, safe & in the perfect location. Check-in & out was seamless and flexible and there's plenty of street parking.  I'll be staying here again on my next trip to ATX."
7172940,47874853,2015-09-21,19577031,David,Great place to stay if you want the feel of old Austin.  Travis Heights is very convenient to SOCO and downtown.  An old friend and I spent last weekend here.  The accommodations were just fine - inside and out.  An outdoor table under the oaks is perfect for morning coffee or libations in the evening.  So much better than a hotel.  Lou is great.  Friendly but doesn't intrude.  I highly recommend this place.   
7172940,49223480,2015-10-02,20333716,John,"Lou communicated well in advance of our stay, gave us a nice welcome, and checked in with us several times throughout the stay. He offered good advice on Austin and was extremely friendly and helpful. He even stocked the room with a bunch of nice breakfast items! The room was nice with a comfy king bed, a new air conditioning unit that kept things frosty, and a full sized fridge and stove. I would definitely stay here again!"
7172940,49603153,2015-10-05,30251976,Jean-Michel,Lou was a very nice and welcoming person. I had a great experience staying at his place while we visited Austin.  The neighborhood was very nice and I felt safe staying there. Our room had everything we needed and there were even snacks left there for us! Overall I had a very enjoyable experience and when I'm back in Austin I'll try to stay with Lou again. 
7172940,50441263,2015-10-12,16854572,Emily,"We had an excellent time staying here! We had some snacks in the fridge and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on. Awesome host, easy to get in and very comfortable stay!"
7172940,51536514,2015-10-21,12287199,Tania,"Lou was an awesome, gracious host.  The place was great and in a perfect location.  This was our first airbnb experience and we couldn't not have asked for more!  I would highly recommend Lou's place to anyone.  Thank you Lou for making our trip to Austin one we won't soon forget!!"
7172940,51890867,2015-10-25,39650501,Dale,"Host Lou was gracious and welcoming, and gave us great advice that helped us enjoy our time in Austin.  The property was quiet at night and in a great neighborhood.  We particularly liked the restaurant options on South Congress Street and the proximity to downtown. "
4376231,22515237,2014-11-08,2878431,John,"This is a pretty house in Hyde Park. It is one block away from a great coffee shop, Flightpath. 

I had a good time here and liked the hosts. They let me ""do my own thing"", I never felt awkward about staying in their home. The room itself feels private. 

They provided clean towels and a cool bar of fancy soap. The bathroom was clean and right next to the bedroom. Basically this accommodation had everything I was looking for."
4376231,23450940,2014-12-01,9773434,Reesa,"Very pleasant hosts; warm and friendly.

Nice private system for sharing the clean bathroom. Comfortable and quiet room. 

Good experience. "
4376231,23620828,2014-12-06,20240964,Dianne,Room was comfortable in typical small Austin bungalow.  Lots of bright natural light in the room/  Hosts were very friendly and interesting to talk to.  I would stay there again.
4376231,24504799,2014-12-29,14865642,Charity,Dewey was really great. We needed a place in Austin to crash because we had a crazy early flight. He was super accommodating.  After sleeping on the floor at my in-laws house for 5 days his charming bungalow was like an oasis in the desert. Very clean and the shower bad great water pressure.  
4376231,25428264,2015-01-15,2703898,Stuart,"Easy & comfortable. Dewey was a great host. Plus, he's also a lyft driver, which made getting around so much easier. 

I'd definitely recommend staying with Dewey. "
4376231,25573460,2015-01-19,25938418,Dan,"The other reviews don't lie.  
Dewey and his girlfriend were very easy to get along with and the room was nice and cozy with a firm mattress, great for one or two people for a weekend.  He shared a wifi password, a Lyft password for $25, had towels, and some locally made soaps for us.  Location is great, close to the city while being away from a lot of noise.

We never needed to, but were told we could use their kitchen and laundry machines.

This was our first time using Airbnb and we were most satisfied."
4376231,25782396,2015-01-25,22674423,Eric,Great place to stay. Dewey is very accommodating. He was also around to show me around. Town 
4376231,26288042,2015-02-08,23011093,Sebastien,It was a beautiful place near downtown. Easy UBER/LYFT ride. I recommend his house for sure. Thank you for the hospitality :)
4376231,26650375,2015-02-16,11494375,Michelle,"Dewey and Amanda were great hosts. They were accommodating and really nice.  Their place is very clean and welcoming.  They have a mini-fridge in the closet which was a great added bonus. The neighborhood is awesome.  They live about 7 blocks from a little group of restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store.  They are also next to the major bus line that runs downtown.  We were able to take the bus and walk everywhere.  We even took a bus back to the airport."
4376231,26897643,2015-02-21,5588647,William,"This was a great stay.  Dewey was extremely responsive, and the room was very pleasant and comfortable.  The location is ideal too in a nice neighborhood a short distance from downtown.  Highly recommend. "
4376231,28123062,2015-03-18,26530544,Nicolai,"Dewey var en veldig god vert. Han gav meg god informasjon før jeg ankom og var veldig fleksibel og lett å ha med å gjøre da jeg ble forsinket. 

Da jeg kom var rommet redd og det lå informasjon og mitt private såpestykke på nattbordet. 

Siden jeg var i byen med jobb så tilbø Dewey seg å gi meg prioritert adgang til badet om morgenen som kan være nyttig for å rekke møter. 

Dewey bor et stykke unna sentrum ca 10-15 min og 10-15 dollar i taxi/Uber (utenom surge). Det kan godt være en del trafikk på hovedveien som øker denne reisetiden. Jeg ville nok bodd nærmere sentrum neste gang. "
4376231,28679968,2015-03-28,13678546,Meredith,Dewey's place was adorable! He was very responsive and flexible in regard to checking in. Due to my schedule while in Austin I never met Dewey or his girlfriend. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and well located place to stay. 
4376231,29225411,2015-04-05,13547402,Bonny,"Dewey was very responsive and communicative. I never met him due to our schedules but he always kept me in the loop about the important things. The room was cute and comfortable and had a mini-fridge. Location is great, walking distance from a coffee shop and food truck, and it was easy to get to other parts of Austin by car."
4376231,29530398,2015-04-08,3782607,Casey,"Dewey was a great host. We arrived a little early and he was still able to meet with us and show us the house. The location was perfect - we were close to several restaurants, food trucks, and convenience stores. We brought our bikes and were able to keep them in the garage. Would stay again!"
4376231,29715419,2015-04-11,29536372,Steve,"The room was clean and as described, our hosts were very friendly and made sure our stay was comfortable :)"
4376231,29802332,2015-04-12,30880300,Joshua,Dewey's home is a great place to stay. Hyde Park is a beautiful neighborhood very close to UT-Austin and downtown. The room was very comfortable and perfect for my weekend visit. 
4376231,30055155,2015-04-16,63219,James,"Nice folks, great location, comfy bed.  All a traveler could want."
4376231,30160984,2015-04-18,6956096,Fernando,I had a very nice stay at Dewey's. Very nice and quiet bedroom; the bed was very comfortable. Hyde Park is a short drive from downtown Austin. He accommodated my early check-in time. Highly recommended.  
4376231,30315558,2015-04-20,22461385,Riva,"The neighbourhood is quaint, quirky and very Hyde Park. I love this neighbourhood.  My husband had the pleasure of meeting Dewey, who made him feel very welcome. I came in late the following night, and it was a pleasure to sleep in a comfortable bed. We didn't spend time at the house, except to sleep, but that was not a problem.  I wish I could have stayed longer..."
4376231,30793336,2015-04-27,25715080,Jennifer,"An overall truly excellent experience. Beautiful home, wonderful hosts, incredibly clean space, and the cutest guest soaps! It was great staying in Hyde Park. The bed was so comfortable! We had an amazing time in Austin and are so grateful for Dewey's place. Would definitely recommend!! "
4376231,31709850,2015-05-09,29835925,Rachel,They had pleasant conversation with us and gave is tips to explore the city. They also aided us with any room necessities and have us great access to coming and going as we please. 
4376231,32760732,2015-05-21,15227691,John,"I didn't get to meet Dewey, but he had everything organised for my arrival and ensured that I was well settled. Dewey's place is great and located in a nice neighbourhood. I really enjoyed my time in Austin staying at Dewey's home."
4376231,34098627,2015-06-04,6236695,New,Great host! Got the house ready for us extremely quickly after we were displaced by storms! Couldn't ask for more.

Perfect  Hyde Park experience!
Cozy and welcoming home. 
Took a belly dance class at Arabic Bazaar and loved Biscuits + Groovy!"
4376231,35723308,2015-06-21,20091733,Amber,I reserved this place for a visiting friend. The stay was great and also just happened to be in a fantastic location. She was very comfortable staying there alone and Dewey even contacted us to make sure all was going well. I would definitely recommend.
4376231,36351284,2015-06-27,3107630,Jonathan,"cozy accommodations in a neat area. all-in-all, pretty awesome. take a chromecast or fire stick if you want to watch television though."
4376231,37230637,2015-07-05,36383978,Guy,My wife and I had a great time staying at this great little house in Hyde park. The location is great and checking in and out was a breeze. 
4376231,50389554,2015-10-11,15836747,Ricardo,"Very welcoming, clean, and comfortable. Dewey is a great host."

2585785,50522147,2015-10-12,19876834,Jeff,"Rashad was a wonderful host with a fantastic place. It was very comfortable for myself and two friends with plenty of places to walk to both near and far (including ACL). Very nice, clearn, and roomy in a nice, quiet part of town. Check in and check out was a breeze and Rashad even left it stocked with beer and coffee for us!

Overall, a great experience - exactly what I hope for when I Airbnb."
5565604,28763060,2015-03-29,23610464,Ellen,"Adam was able to accommodate us on very short notice. The house is really spacious with sparse and tasteful mix of antique and contemporary furnishings. Easily fit our family of 4 and the kids were excited to have their own bedrooms. 
The main floor is an open space so great for gathering/socializing.
Perfect location as the kids love Central Market and breakfasts at Taco Shack - both within walking distance."
5565604,30217193,2015-04-19,29472793,Dana,Great overall experience.  Home was clean and comfortable.  Owner responded right away via text to my questions.  I would definitely stay again.
5565604,30420471,2015-04-21,30931012,Gustavo,Home is in a fantastic area and Adam was very easy to work with.  Communication was quick and efficient.  Could not have been more perfect.
5565604,31194931,2015-05-03,5432723,Ming Han,"Location wise this place was great. Close to everywhere we needed to go to attend an wedding in downtown Austin. However my main problem was cleanliness. While I understand it's an AirBnB and I shouldn't expect it to be spotless, it was definitely worse than any AirBnB i've stayed at so far. The comforter in the downstairs bedroom seemingly had many makeup? possibly blood stains on it. Same with the shower curtain. Many of the towels had stains on it too. Also the upstairs bathroom tub backed up when taking showers. 

A smaller issue though important was that the door doesn't lock correctly if it is closed all the way. You kind of need to push it in a little or it won't catch.

To be fair I feel like almost 100% of the issues could be taken care of with just a day with a cleaning crew. It really felt like the owner hasn't had it cleaned in a while."
5565604,31989401,2015-05-12,29535434,Constance,"We really enjoyed staying at this Airbnb on West 40th Street in Austin.  It's set up very nicely for a family:  my husband and I slept in the downstairs bedroom with attached bathroom, and our adult daughters took the two upstairs bedrooms, with a large shared bathroom.  There are enough beds to easily accommodate six people. Plenty of towels in the bathrooms, and the kitchen is also well-equipped.  The wall-mounted split air conditioning units in the living room and bedrooms cooled the house down very quickly.  The house is in a quiet, older Austin neighborhood, within walking distance of Ramsey Park, where there is a not very large outdoor pool,  and The Draught House, our favorite English pub in Austin.  Adam was very quick to respond by email to my questions about the house. We would enjoy staying here again.

5965736,31242702,2015-05-03,3463836,Meghan,"Victor is super friendly and accommodating and his place is awesome! Fantastic, cool space, close to everywhere you want to be, plenty of room for several people! "
5965736,39894751,2015-07-26,39173779,Fernando,"My relatives & I, really enjoyed our stay at Victor's Condo!  The listing description of this place was just as described. Close from Downtown Area, Highway & Colorado River. Many restaurants & bars at a short distance. Super clean. From the first moment we stepped into the living room we felt a nice comfortable vibe from Victor & his condo, even though we arrived a bit late in the evening. I do want to thank Victor for responding on a last minute inquiry. I was getting desperate after not getting any respond from about 3 other Airbnb owners. Thanks for saving my life, the quick response & the hospitality. I love the easy, fast & smooth process of sharing your condo. We did go Kayaking in the morning which it was right across the street and ate breakfast at Taco More, which Victor recommended us. (It was really good)"
5965736,40634973,2015-08-01,32009867,Manuel,"Definitely going back to this place! The apartment is really nice, it is close to downtown and next to lady bird lake. The host was amazing he accommodated all our needs.  "
5965736,45986674,2015-09-07,22891531,Bryan,"Victor's place was great. Clean and very spacious. Very nice stove too if you plan on cooking. Walls are a bit thin but we didn't have any problems with noisy neighbors. Pool was clean and a great addition in the Austin heat. The pool can get a bit crowded during the weekends but the neighbors in the complex all seem very friendly. 

Victor was also a great host. We had a late arrival (2AM) and Victor was very accommodating. He was also very quick to respond to any questions we had during our stay. I would definitely consider staying here again if we return to Austin. "
5965736,47757744,2015-09-21,2038543,Brandon,Victor's home was very nice and clean.  The location was amazing and Victor was very responsive to everything.  I would definitely stay here again.

3416245,18638556,2014-08-29,20489964,Martha Marlene,"Spent 3 nights at this lovely, serene home. The home was beautifully decorated with the artist's works and masks, paintings, paper mache, and textiles from her travels.  It was very comfortable with a full kitchen, outdoor barbeque, and all the amenities that one would need. Gale was a wonderful host who worked hard to make our stay memorable. "
3416245,18866135,2014-09-01,12145846,Josh,"Gale's place is something special from the moment you arrive. The property was clean, spacious, friendly, and beautiful. Having breakfast outside near the herb garden was a real treat. Gale welcomed us with open arms, and food, which was just the best. Id would recommend this space for anyone wanting private beauty right near a beautiful river. "
3416245,27384130,2015-03-03,23099788,Dave,"We had such a pleasant experience staying at Monet's Cottage. More specifically, Gale and Bill are absolutely incredible hosts and such wonderful people. They were over accommodating in every aspect of the stay and we feel like we've met two people that we can call friends going forward. The listing itself was better than what we had expected and the place and grounds provided a relaxing environment for our entire family. The neighborhood is wonderful for walking or running and we took time to run down to the lake on several occasions to take in the view and sit in the park.

It's rare that we rate anything a perfect score (restaurants, hotels, etc.) but in this situation there wasn't anything that could be improved upon and it absolutely surpassed our expectations. Thanks again Gale and Bill!"
4091409,21486512,2014-10-18,18036201,Delia,"Love the Travis Heights neighborhood! Quiet, homey, lots of character. The Nest was comfortable, roomy and just as pictured (clean too!). Renting from Brooke was smooth and easy. Loved my stay here and would do it again!"

I loved the area as well as the view looking out the windows and front door.  The trees in the neighborhood were lovely. The booking process was so easy, I will def want to stay here again!!!! Thanks Brooke for opening your place to us "
4091409,26086153,2015-02-02,14362189,Jennifer,This was such a lovely and quiet place on a quiet street in Travis Heights. We didn't want to leave! We hope we are able to stay here again when traveling to Austin.
4091409,29817419,2015-04-13,264809,Ashley,The house is totally comfortable for a family or 2 couples. We stayed at Brooke's place for a wedding and it was perfect.

We had never been to Austin before, so we took a gamble when it came to our location but we hit it so right by choosing this location! Walking distance... or a quick Uber ride... to plenty of restaurants and shopping and nightlife! "

4091409,40240397,2015-07-29,37070652,Colleen,"This was my first time using Airbnb, and I have to say it was an awesome experience. Brooke made it easy to book, and it was like having a home away from home. 

I got to The Nest and there were towels, beds ready and even coffee in the fridge ready for us. It was awesome having a place to lounge and get ready and cook meals if needed.

The Nest was walking distance to restaurants and bars in South Congress. We even walked up to the infamous 6th street one night. Short ride to Rainey St, etc. Great location.

Brooke was helpful and responsive in providing recommendations for places to eat and go out in Austin.

I would definitely recommend Brooke and The Nest to someone looking to visit Austin :) "
4091409,41614581,2015-08-08,14295182,Erin,"We had an amazing stay at The Nest.

The house is set back on a quiet, wide street in an adorable neighborhood just a 10 minute easy stroll to the epicenter of South Congress (which was our favorite area in Austin). Everything we needed was available in this very clean and perfectly decorated house. The house was bright, light and spacious enough for our group of three. We all would definitely stay here again!"

609618,3771830,2013-03-13,4617260,Emmanuel,"Janet is a very nice hostess and the house+room are beautiful. Very clean, neatly arranged and convenient to enjoy Austin."
609618,3843525,2013-03-20,2215528,Angie,"My first time experience using Airbnb was a success! We went to Austin for SXSW and could not wish for better hosts. Janet & Harm are very relaxed, cool people..They were super helpful for directions, places suggestions (Harm will even draw you a map)..and they would even offer us a drive if they were going downtown! We went for a little city tour with them, see a show & have lunch..That's how nice they were :) The house is in a great area, peaceful,clean and very well separated; we had our own part of the house and private bathroom! There is beautiful art frame & books, a swing on the front porch and a very sweet cat named Flaco! We have great memories of that week in Austin and this is one of the reasons why. We would definitely go back to the lovely 50's home."
609618,4258207,2013-04-22,5883621,Jessica,"I felt very welcome and safe in Janet's home. The guest room, bathroom and home in general are so beautiful and clean. I found it a relaxing place to rest my head and would do so again in a heartbeat. Janet is a cool and pleasant host and as my first host with Airbnb she has set the bar high!"
609618,4386465,2013-05-01,2807780,Megan And Jonathan,"We only got to stay a couple nights with Janet and Harm but if we are ever in Austin again we will be sure to stay with them! Their guest room and bathroom are completely private, away from the kitchen and their living area. 
Everything is very clean and spacious. They even had a whole refrigerator designated for our use!  Janet also offered fresh made brownies and bread and they were very helpful when it came to giving advice about Austin. 
The house is located in a great little neighborhood away from all the noise of downtown but very close via car, and with some fantastic neighborhood restaurants and cafes. 
Don't hesitate to stay here!  These hosts have the perfect trifecta - super welcoming, very clean, and in a great location!  :D  
Looking forward to staying there in the future, Megan"
609618,6676669,2013-08-20,6341036,Caleb,"Great house, great hosts.  Janet and Harm are very welcoming and friendly, wish I had more time to be social.  Home is bright and filled with great art.  Room is large, super comfortable and quiet.  You get your own bathroom and fridge.  Everything was super clean and felt like home. Hope to stay there again"
609618,7079750,2013-09-05,895521,Pete,"Janet and Harm made our stay in Austin even better that we could have expected.  We were there to try out new cycling equipment and were able to benefit from many years of biking experience by both of our hosts. The facilities were perfect for our needs.  Easy to find, quiet and an easy drive or ride to many Austin hot spots.  We will definitely stay here on our next visit if available.

Pete"
609618,8349673,2013-10-27,8850398,Jeremy,"Our first Airbnb experience - it was a delight to stay in such a spacious, stylish and spotless home.  Our bedroom and bathroom gave us lots of private space; Janet's advice and suggestions were invaluable.

We enjoyed exploring Austin by bus.  Several routes run from the nearby Hancock shopping centre and the restaurants of Manor Road are just a five-minute ride away.  Bus frequency is generally around one bus per half hour on each route, but we always found the services punctual and it was easy to look up timetables online.  The 24 hour bus pass is an absolute bargain at just USD2 per person.

Thank you for making our stay in Austin so comfortable and enjoyable!"
609618,10919767,2014-03-13,11312786,Hunter,"I stayed with Janet and Harm during SXSW and they are amazing hosts. Good people, good coffee, good conversation. The house is far enough away from the noise of downtown, but still convenient by bus. My room / bathroom were clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Definitely staying here on my next trip to Austin. "
609618,11052370,2014-03-18,12038669,Jessica,"My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying at Janet and Harm's beautiful home during our first visit to Austin for SXSW.  We were out working the event the whole week and needed somewhere quiet and peaceful to rest our heads at the end of the night, and I couldn't have imagined somewhere more comfortable or convenient. The location is perfect and the room is very private and spacious. Our only regret is that we couldn't spend more time getting to know our hosts! We hope to come back to Austin soon and would love to stay here again. "

609618,27951170,2015-03-15,610427,Samina,"I was delighted with Janet's TX-sized gracious hospitality! Her lovely, art and light filled home is spotless, and the huge guest room and bathroom was perfectly appointed. Thoughtful details like organic bathroom products were provided. It was the homemade bread and preserves topped off by artisanal chai tea that was the icing on the cake. She is a special soul and I can't wait to visit again. I'm calling dibs right now on next year's SXSWi! "
609618,28261242,2015-03-21,12089754,Rosemarie,"Janet was a great host. She made arrangements to hand off the keys when we got to the place and gave us a tour as well. The accommodations are great - clean, spacious, and fairly private. It was like we had our own small section of the house. Janet gave us some good tips as to how to get around Austin and let us use her bike stands  (we were biking to and from sxsw). She also offered us coffee and homemade jam and toast (all of which was delicious). The house was super easy to find and there was plenty of street parking (we drove down from Dallas). The neighborhood is quiet and not too far from downtown."
609618,49683637,2015-10-05,43831679,Mauricio,"La descripción en el anuncio no se acerca a lo que realmente es. La ambientación de la casa es espectacular, todo extremadamente limpio y muy acogedor. 
Janet y su esposo son unos grandes anfitriones, muy amables y siempre atentos a que la estancia sea excelente. 
Muy amablemente nos ofrecieron pan casero, café, jugo y unos muffins deliciosos (todo homemade). Tuvimos también una buena plática con ellos y siempre estuvieron atentos para lo que se necesitara. 
Recomiendo mucho este airbnb

609618,50462144,2015-10-12,25165013,Everardo,"100% recommendable. We're visiting for ACL, and Janet's house was perfect for that.
The room and the bathroom are very clean and comfortable. Also the location it's great, you can take only one route to get into downtown and take a view into Austin's night.

She's an excellent host, she helped us whenever that we need something. All the time they we're so respectfuland nice with us."

5380334,28339803,2015-03-22,20934208,Jessica,"Patrick was a FANTASTIC host! The house was 100% Accurate to the description and photos posted to Air BnB. Patrick met our group and gave us the quick walkthrough and ""101"" on the house-

He made sure we had plenty of keys (And knew how to use them) plus  access to all amenities including the Washer/Dryer, WiFi, BBQ, etc... he even left a welcome basket with essentials as well as beer and wine for our group to enjoy + local culture mags for our use. 

The house was convenient to downtown, only about 2 miles east of the action and there were PLENTY of Ubers available and if worse came to worse, you could walk home in under an hour-

all it all- the house and hosts were great! "
5380334,48749725,2015-09-28,42918164,Megan,"Loved the house and the host! Patrick was very welcoming, left us a bottle of wine and even drew us a map of places to visit nearby! The house is exactly as it looks in the pictures and was perfect for our weekend stay. Comfortable beds, cool outdoor space and plenty of room for our party of 6! Would recommend and would stay there again! "

8384536,47928656,2015-09-21,4533609,Mason,"Marie's place has a lot of quirky Austin charm to it. It seems like it was built in the 1940s or so, and feels very open and spacious for the neighborhood. Everything was as described, and the welcome basket of towels and toiletries was a nice touch. The parking spot in back is handy, though a little tricky to find on the first try. The kitchen seemed nice and functional, though I didn't have a chance to try it, and there's a kind of office room with a little desk between it and the bedroom.

The front room is big and has the pictured love seat in it, and not much else. It's seriously huge and open - you could practice ballroom dancing in there or something. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, and seems reasonably close to most of the things to do in Austin."
8384536,51223470,2015-10-18,27750172,Justin,"Marie was an excellent host and the her home looks exactly like the pictures show. She was very responsive to my messages and texts as well. For the price, location and amenities, it's a great find! The only downside I would say is finding the parking, that took a little sleuthing, but once you find it, it's totally fine. I'd definitely book again!"
8384536,51259491,2015-10-18,32417406,Hilary,The host canceled this reservation 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Thanks Marie!!"

5297978,28021141,2015-03-16,2624054,Tim,"Emily was a great host, I only regret not getting to meet her! She allowed friends, colleagues, and me to stay in her lovely duplex that was just out of reach of all of the SXSW craziness ... so we could get some sleep during Interactive. She has a lovely home, whimsically and creatively decorated. Would definitely stay again."
5414038,28174762,2015-03-19,28221201,Karl,"Myself and two colleagues stayed during SXSW '15 and Brooked made us feel very welcome. The check-in process was smooth and everything about the property is as described, if not more!

Area is nice and quiet, even in the midst of a busy festival. There are plenty of places to eat and get supplies within walking distance. If you fancy going further afield, then our Uber rides to downtown were under $10 nearly every time.

The property was amazingly clean, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, the bathroom more than adequate with plenty of towels - and a hairdryer.

We really enjoyed our stay here, would definitely stay again."
5414038,29988136,2015-04-15,8223997,Blair,A hidden gem in the earthy parts of Austin and just minutes away from the finest culture Austin offers.

Would highly recommend this house to anyone visiting Austin! "

It was about a 1 mile walk to Barton springs, as well as numerous restaurants, bars, a juice spot, and food trucks.  There's a bike rental place right at the bottom of the hill to make getting around a little easier.  The backyard of the house is huge and the perfect place to sit back and relax.  The kitchen has evening thing you need to make you feel at home.  I would stay here again in a hear beat!"

The neighborhood was quiet and quaint, but 3 blocks from the action of south congress which is a really cool area. Can walk to 6th street/downtown area if you're willing to walk a lot or take a less than $10 uber. Overall was very happy with his place, lots of space - one queen bed upstairs and 2 full or queen in the same room downstairs with air mattresses and extra blankets in the closets. Overall great stay and would recommend!!! if you want to be RIGHT at the action this is not the place, but it's very easy to get to so its not a problem. Thanks Todd!"
7022902,48696678,2015-09-28,20708662,Shirley,"I planned my sister's bachelorette party in Austin and rented this unit from Todd. He was very accommodating and helpful from the day I made the reservation! He provided suggestions and answered all of my questions (and there were many)! 

The unit was nice and clean and perfect for the weekend. He provided written instructions for the cable and had everything set up for us (wi-fi, key/garage, etc.) before we arrived. He was easily accessible by email and text and always responded promptly. Our flight out on Sunday was in the evening, and Todd was again very accommodating and allowed us to store our luggage in the house while we explored the city, which saved us from having to worry about dragging our bags through the city."

5374823,33108162,2015-05-25,30869104,Inma,"Location, fine.
Information provided by Ryan, poor and not quite accurate; but this is my problem, since I should have read on internet about the bus stops.
How did I feel? I could not feel totally comfortable sleeping in a bed whose sheets had not been changed, nor the pillows either.
I could not feel totally comfortable taking showers and doing number 1 and 2 in a toilet which had not been cleaned since...no idea.
I could not feel totally comfortable using towels with spots.
I could not feel totally comfortable in a house where the dust where everywhere I look at.
I could not feel totally ""comfortable"" asking for WiFi data on Friday evening and having an answer on Sunday evening, the night before my departure.
Sorry about that but my 1st experience in Airbnb has been unforgettable.

He made the potential for having a ""home base"" versus a hotel for a fast paced weekend of interviews and Austin visiting a reality.  He checked in with me without prompting to ensure everything was going well and responded quickly to texts if I had questions or needed something from him.  His apartment was neat, clean, open and inviting.  Ryan, as the host, was the best part of this experience.  Thanks a ton!!"

I highly recommend him and when I come back in town, I will definitely look him up!"
5374823,42618656,2015-08-14,4490666,Cecilia,"Ryan was very accommodating, hospitable & welcoming & he communicates well.  He offered us a bottle of Tuaca & any of his food or bar selection. His home is just as pictured,  & is very lovely & picturesque. He is also in a good location, easily accessible to downtown. 

However, there was an issue with cleanliness: he rents out his bedroom ķ& stays on the couch) & the sheets were not clean & don't seem to have been changed in months. I have really bad environmental allergies which were triggered.  The bathroom was also not clean, which made using it uncomfortable. Also, some other Air BnB-ers came in after us & I guess they were also going to be sleeping on the same,  ""well-used"" sheets--he seems to only have the one set of sheets."

 Awesome first Airbnb experience, and would definitely recommend Ryan's place for travelers heading to Austin. "

5473833,32010109,2015-05-12,32544225,Maricarmen,"Chereen's hospitality, I sensed, was second nature. She was the perfect host! We met for the room key, then she shared all the key details about Austin (main roads, best way to commute, popular shops) with us. She even drew us a map when her printer didn't work! The location is a short walking distance to Epoch Coffee, Breakaway Records, and thrift stores. Car2gos all nearby. We also got the opportunity to speak with some of the residents living there and appreciated their welcoming nature. The rooms were spotless, very spacious, and allowed for privacy. All the necessary toiletries were included, as well as snacks. The decor in our room and in the building overall was awesome. We didn't get to stay long enough to enjoy all the activities on site but there was a cool TV room, pool table area, and outdoor patio with grill. "
4875376,24798851,2015-01-02,25367093,Conor,"Hunter's apartment is located right in the heart of the '04, Austin's coolest neighborhood. He was very professional and when we arrived had clean sheets on the bed, a bunch of towels for the shower, the house warmed up (it being a cold night in January when we stayed), and Hunter showed us amazing hospitality before heading out."
4875376,24902073,2015-01-03,11072104,Catherine,"Great apartment, great location! We enjoyed our stay and Hunter was a great host. He even went so far to make out the couch since we had three people staying. We only stayed one night but felt comfortable, safe, and had all that we needed available to us. We had a blast and recommend anyone who is thinking about staying at Hunter’s to do so."
4875376,25756540,2015-01-25,11668439,Steve,"Hunter is a very good, considerate host. Made me feel completely welcome. Nice place and the neighborhood is very well situated for walking to some of the best Austin has to offer. I'd stay again."
4875376,26687077,2015-02-17,7362393,Lauren,"We had a great 3 night stay at Hunter's apartment! Everything was very clean and the king size bed was super comfortable. We found everything exactly as described in the listing and shown in the pictures.  We had a car with us and the apartment was in a centrally located spot to drive to all the places we wanted to explore in Austin, but there are some restaurants and cafes within walking distance as well.  At night, we took an uber downtown for only $7-8. Would certainly stay here again! "
4875376,27177614,2015-02-27,10176017,Lisa,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Hunter's studio for 6 days in February and had a fantastic time!  The studio is close to many great food trucks, restaurants, cafes, bars, etc and near Metro bus lines (that was our chosen method of transportation).  It was incredibly clean and Hunter had set out towels & shampoo / conditioner - one less thing to worry about while traveling!  Hunter was quick to respond to my reservation request, was accommodating with our very late evening arrival and incredibly welcoming when we did meet.  I definitely recommend staying here to anyone considering a visit to Austin!"
4875376,27326258,2015-03-02,25961215,Ryan,Even though we had a very late arrival due to flight delays - Hunter was very accommodating and happy to wait up to check us in.  The apartment was just as described - very clean and ready for guests with a super comfortable bed. The apartment complex was quiet and the neighborhood is very safe with easy access to Austin attractions. We took Uber everywhere and never paid more than $10. I would recommend this space and would definitely stay here again!  
4875376,27439559,2015-03-04,10898407,James,"Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip to Austin unexpectedly before the booking,  so I can't speak to the apartment. But as a host, Hunter was great to deal with, very friendly, informative and flexible, which made the process much easier. Will definitely re-book once I'm back to Austin!"
4875376,27731943,2015-03-10,1625865,Laura,"Hunter met us at the apartment and handed over the key.  The apartment is small, but clean and very conveniently located.  I was meditating at the Shambhala Center in Austin and the apartment location was great for that; it was also great for exploring the SoCo area -- we found some great restaurants nearby!"
4875376,27810737,2015-03-12,28420412,Shelby,"Great place! Perfect location, very clean, and quiet. Hunter was very nice and gave us a brief overview of the place and then left us alone, making it clear that he would be around for whatever was needed. It's great that the host caters to different guests by offering as much or as little interaction/advice as is desired. Nothing negative about the experience! I would absolutely stay here again."
4875376,27968830,2015-03-15,28919339,Will,Hunter was a great host. Took time to give us advice on the best spots in Austin to visit for both daytimes and nightlife. The place is perfect - just as advertised on the site. I'd definitely stay there again.
4875376,28123353,2015-03-18,26574202,Cristina,"Hunter was great!  He was really easy to work with, and he was huge help with the booking process!  He made the process smooth and flawless, even waiting until 8:30pm on a Saturday night to give a personal welcome to his home.  He also surprised Mike by having some of his favorite treats waiting for him!  Hunter was a great host and we definitely recommend him and his home."
4875376,28711589,2015-03-29,27447807,Derek,"The studio was very clean, cozy and in a great location. You can easily walk to some great restaurants and bars or take a short drive to Zilker Park or the downtown area. Hunter was a great and accommodating host. He made sure to welcome you when you arrive and can provide some fantastic recommendations when it comes to food and entertainment. Overall, it was a great and smooth experience. I'd highly recommend this listing and would definitely consider staying here again if I'm back in Austin."
4875376,29515107,2015-04-08,1345111,Cynthia,"Hunter was a perfect host -- available but not intrusive. The studio was an excellent place for my daughter and I to stay: in a perfect location for us in the Bouldin area of south Austin, very clean, and with a comfortable king-sized bed. I'd definitely stay there again.  Thank you, Hunter!"
4875376,29975265,2015-04-15,6661168,Cara,Staying at Hunter's place was great! It located in the perfect location to access all the best places in Austin. A bonus is that the bed is super comfortable!! 
4875376,30315795,2015-04-20,22310439,Ashley,"Hunter was an amazing host! My boyfriend and I stayed at his lovely place for 4 days in April and walked to all local attractions. We awoke every morning to chirping birds right outside our window which backs up to lush green. His place is about 1.5 miles away from Downtown Austin and everything along the way is charming. South Congress is trendy, artistic and soaked in BBQ. It's also within walking distance to Rainey St which we highly recommend! We took a short 10 min drive to Greenbelt and hiked all afternoon. Hunter is awesome we loved staying at his place!"
4875376,30458248,2015-04-22,811606,Drew,"Hunter's studio was great for what we needed.  It was super clean and the bed was extremely comfortable.  Hunter was great to communicate with.  We will stay here again when we come back to Austin.  Thanks Hunter for the hospitality.
"
4875376,31019395,2015-04-30,4790927,Joe,"This place was great! Hunter was an awesome host who happily worked around my crazy schedule. He even let me show up a couple of hours before the apartment was ready, so I could grab a key.

The apartment itself was impeccably clean, and had all the comforts of home. It's in a very safe, stable neighborhood. I felt totally comfortable walking around the area alone at night.

The bathroom isn't great, it feels a little small and outdated. Other than that, it really was a great stay. With all the apartment and neighborhood have to offer, this may be the best deal in the city. On my next trip to Austin, I'll be sure to rebook this spot."
4875376,32053425,2015-05-13,6425487,Cyrus,"Hunter's apartment was absolutely perfect for my wife & I!  It had everything we needed, was clean and was very comfortable (especially the bed).  The location also couldn't be beat, it seemed pretty close to everything.  We would highly recommend walking down & getting a slice of pizza at the Austin Beer Garden Brewery.  So good!  As a host, Hunter was also great.  Very laid back about everything, but also a great communicator.  He made us feel right at home, was totally accommodating & assured us we could contact him if we needed anything at all (but we didn't!).  Highly recommended."
4875376,32698227,2015-05-20,31363975,Sarah,"This listing is absolutely perfect for exploring the city. It is in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything. We were able to easily cab into downtown or walk to South Congress and the Zilker Park area.

The studio is clean, renovated and perfectly spacious for two people. Hunter was a great host and full of excellent knowledge for what to see and do while in town. He was a huge help with planning the itinerary for the trip before we even got there. He's quick to respond and met us when we arrived, even though we were a little later than expected. Overall, a wonderful experience with both the place and the host. Would absolutely stay here again next time we're in town."
4875376,34004991,2015-06-03,9818046,Carol,"Hunter's apartment was perfect for our long weekend in Austin. It was clean and modern, the bed was oh-so-comfortable (so was the couch), and there was Hulu, and spotify available with perfectly working wifi connection. We über-ed to anyplace we couldn't walk easily (check out the botanical gardens! And Uchi for a fancy dinner) and walked to many awesome eateries nearby (bouldin creek-get the oven cake breakfast, Thai Fresh- for coffee, vegan gf pastries and Thai meals,  torchy's tacos, gourdough's, currah's- avocado margarita. Wow we ate a LOT on this trip! 
When we first arrived I thought I was hearing peacocks but assumed there wouldn't be a flock of them next door. And low and behold, next door there were a flock of peafowl at Green Pastures Restaurant (you can read their peafowl history online)! They are beautiful!! 
I'd recommend staying here for a mellow, reasonably priced and clean apartment in Austin. Hunter was just a call away and helpful if we needed, though everything was fine and we hadn't needed to call."

The place was impeccably clean and it was extremely convenient to downtown. Hunter was an excellent host and quickly responded to emails. He worked hard to make sure our stay was comfortable. The space was small but perfect for my husband and me to sleep and have breakfast. I highly recommend Hunter and his studio if you need to stay in Austin. It will be our place of choice! "
4875376,37429335,2015-07-06,29948024,Valencia,Hunter was an excellent host. His response was quick which was appreciated because my trip was super last minute. The studio was perfect for my fiancé and I. It was clean and Hunter had extras of anything and everything just in case we forgot to pack something. You really can't beat the location. All our Uber rides were 5 dollars or less. I would definitely here again.
4875376,39441326,2015-07-23,10931328,Taryn,Everything at Hunter's apartment was as described. The apartment is a good size for a studio and has everything you need.

The place was just what we needed- quaint, organized, clean, loved it. The location was perfect too, nothing was more than a couple miles away and the neighborhood was great. We also had a fun time at ABGB which he recommend. Overall, nothing but good things! "
4875376,46145170,2015-09-08,3981178,Cynthia,Cute little studio! It is also in a very safe area. Loved the location - it was minutes away from everything we needed. Hunter was very kind to give us a huge list of information for things to do in the area. I will def. come back!

It was was very short notice and she was still very inviting on letting us stay there. We basically just used the house for sleeping but it was very comfortable.  We would definitely stay there again if  we come back into town."

730484,4098173,2013-04-09,5444929,Stephenie,"We had a great stay and Keturah and her family were very accommodating. It was a great way to experience Austin, being in the middle of a neighborhood instead of a hotel or tourist district. "

She's also very flexible; my sister-in-law (who lives down the street) was having work done on her house, and Keturah had no problem with our last minute request that her family stay with us. It was nice staying in a place that felt like a home instead of a rental unit."

730484,5563149,2013-07-06,546842,Leslie,"Ketturah's home was a wonderful oasis for us during our recent trip to Austin. We looked forward to the  funky decor, bunked beds and sofas after a long day of sightseeing in Austin. The location was especially perfect for us to get downtown, and to the airport as we had two of our group catch an early flight. It took us 10-15 mins tops to get to wherever we needed to be. Ketturah made it especially easy to get in to the house on the day we arrived, and gave us all the essentials (bedding/towels) we needed. 

I recommend this home to anyone traveling with a large group. It's a great way to begin your trip in and around the wonderful city of Austin. "
730484,6142586,2013-07-31,1618467,Leo,We arranged last minute to stay at the House with 8 people and the family dog. Keturah was still on vacation but arranged things quickly and flexible. We met her the next day and had the most wonderful conversation. The house is indeed spacious and comfortable.

Her house is pretty spacious - three decent sized bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a bunk bed, and another has two full/queen bed. The house would easily fit a large family/group of friends. The place was also very clean!

There isn't much in the area around the house, but you're only a 10-15min drive from the heart of Austin! "

Her house was comfortable, eclectic and charming. We could not have asked for a better place to stay or better hosts. I wholeheartedly recommend Keturah to anyone looking for some where to stay when they arrive in Austin.
The location is very centrally located, near the airport and close to downtown and fun spots. The home had more than enough beds and space for the four of us to spread out. And we LOVED the Apple tv, especially being gone from quality entertainment for so long :)

Thanks again Keturah for everything and we will be sure to pass your name to anyone we know coming to visit."

Keturah is a great host. Quick to respond and accommodating."
730484,15704698,2014-07-14,3941891,Colter,Went to Austin this last weekend with eight of my friends. This house was perfect for us. Very spacious and clean with comfortable beds! Keturah and her husband even let us stay past the 11am checkout (friend had misplaced his keys). I highly recommend this house if you're coming to Austin with a group.
730484,16107311,2014-07-22,15392692,Norbert,"loved staying here, me and my 3 guests were in town for a guys weekend and loved having a real house to ourselves, house was well stocked, plenty of towels in the restroom, very comfortable beds and furniture. really nice and quiet neighborhood with a lot of houses being renovated in the area, seems like an up and coming part of Austin, very close to everything, east sixth was just minutes away. would definitely stay here again if i came to Austin with group of people. "
730484,17372181,2014-08-11,18113956,Jessica,Host made me feel welcome. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Everything she said would be there was! I would stay there again!
730484,17588110,2014-08-14,18366567,Kristi,Keturah was a wonderful hostess. She was quick to answer any questions I had and her home was spotless. The air mattresses were ready and waiting also as we had eight people in our group. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located to downtown Austin. It was great!

"
730484,18823733,2014-09-01,17048576,Hans,great house in a convenient location to many Austin attractions. 
730484,19191645,2014-09-08,5429943,Juan,"Our family went to Austin for a wedding.  Rather than get a hotel room, we rented a house through Airbnb.  Keturah's property on 3012 E 14 1/2th Street provided an excellent alternative to the standard hotel accommodations.  Her property was in good condition, provided convenient access to the city of Austin and was air conditioned (which, if you are in Texas in early September, is dearly needed).  It was in a quiet neighborhood and provided a peaceful haven after a chaotic wedding weekend.

Keturah is an ideal host, as she provided almost immediate feedback with any questions that I had.

Our family enjoyed our weekend in Austin and much of that is due to the hospitality of Keturah."
730484,19581312,2014-09-14,21211433,Eric,Keturah's home was very spacious and clean. Keturah was extremely friendly and was available to answer any questions. 
730484,20740443,2014-10-05,14596101,Ryan,"Kenturah's house was great! 3 friends and I made the trip for a large music festival (ACL) and her house was comfortable and affordable. Communication was great as well, we were able to easily coordinate times and price. Would highly recommend her house if you are looking for an affordable, cozy house. "
730484,21529412,2014-10-19,17211550,Amber,"Kenturah did a great job of having the house cleaned and ready for us. It was a great space that was very open, perfect for our bachelorette party of 9. Everyone had a bed and there were plenty of linens to go around. The neighborhood was quiet, close to downtown and we felt completely safe. Any issues or questions were answered or taken care of in a reasonable timely manner. We would definitely stay again! "
730484,22141648,2014-10-31,6745953,Monica,Keturah was wonderfully accommodating to us. The house was the perfect size of our group and we could catch a bus for $1 to downtown. Beds were comfortable and shower had plenty of hot water ever though we had a large group who needed to shower every morning. Would definitely recommend this place
730484,22352808,2014-11-04,12911254,Nischal,Great experience. Keturah was awesome about communicating everything in advance so that everything was super smooth when we showed up. Would definitely stay here again.
730484,22877071,2014-11-16,1216031,Lindsey,Great warm house in the Austin area. Conveniently located! Would highly recommend this house!
730484,24804965,2015-01-03,18768044,John,The description was accurate. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful. The host made us feel that they were accessible. 
730484,25539186,2015-01-19,23074036,Nick,"Keturah was a fantastic host.  Whenever I had a question, she was super quick with her response.  Everything that was described on the listing was available at the home.  It was clean, fully stocked, and had plenty of room for me and my four friends.  The neighborhood itself is very residential, not too much happening there.  But it is a quick bus ride or Lyft away to any place in the city.  I would definitely stay at this listing again or any other listing that Keturah has to offer."
730484,25734276,2015-01-24,23629492,Tristan,Perfect 
730484,26089792,2015-02-02,26929184,Corbin,"Listing description was accurate, and the house was really nice, clean and well-stocked. Directions for the stay were clear, and the ""check in-check out"" process was simple and easy.

Sleeping was comfortable, and it was nice to have the Netflix option as well. The drive to wherever we wanted to be was quick and well-located, especially for the really attractive price this is renting at.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the stay."
730484,26466680,2015-02-13,17172389,Derek,This house was perfect!  The host was also very accommodating.  She was easy to contact and had some very good suggestions to further our experience in Austin.  Highly recommend!

730484,33638127,2015-05-30,34448046,Leo,"Very spacious rooms, host was gracious enough to setup 6 beds for us, including air mattress. The only thing I would keep in mind is there is only 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms. So if you have a lot of people, plan your showers. "
730484,49507026,2015-10-04,7693776,Emily,I work as a cross country tour guide and my group happened to visit the weekend of ACL music festival. Keturah was very accommodating with my large group of people with setting out extra mattress and beds! Her house is lovely and very homey. All of my people enjoyed our two nights here. Thank you! 
730484,50310108,2015-10-11,42317950,Marquez,"Description accurate, went out of her way to help us out on the last day. Highly recommend."

4325320,27996663,2015-03-16,14049324,Stanton,"The stay was perfect.  We were in ATX for 2 days for a friend's Bachelor weekend.  Great neighborhood, good price.  Took about 13 minutes in an Uber to get to 6th Street.  I didn't need to reach out to Danny because I'm familiar with the city and he made the check-in/check-out process simple, but he was very friendly and responsive."
4325320,28463994,2015-03-24,25412962,Kim,We had a great experience the home is located in a perfect spot with food restaurants grocery stores things for children to do it was great.

362525,1008354,2012-03-17,1774662,Joep,"The house was perfect in size for me as a single traveller. I really liked the big backyard, great place to unwind from SXSW. Felt very welcome because of Vicki. Also the other members of the community were hospitable. "
362525,2925952,2012-11-20,2400585,Alexander,"We came to Austin for the inaugural Formula 1 race at the new Circuit of the Americas. Vicki's cottage was cozy and well situated in between the airport and downtown Austin. What a great host! Vicki made us feel at home in her home.  We did not spend much time at the cottage as we were there to experience the city and the F1 event, but it was perfect for our needs. We would highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking to stay in Austin and would return to stay with her when we come back."
5518768,51183568,2015-10-18,15546892,Barry,I've come to the conclusion that Airbnb postings are very much like dating profiles. Every attempt is made to make the property look better than it actually is and hiding its faults with creative photography or simply not mentioning things.
5509889,28179811,2015-03-19,28633609,Michele,"It was my first time in Texas and with airbnb The appartment is very comfy , quiet , well decorated . Kristina made me feel at home and gave me addresses in Austin . I could spend a nice moment at the outside pool . 
Very nice stay , made me appreciate the city and the activities . merci ! "
7435259,46232603,2015-09-08,43041770,Andrea,"I highly recommend this warm, welcoming, clean, and quiet airbnb! The hosts were available and ready to help make my trip to Austin comfortable and easy. The space is very close to downtown and there are plenty of restaurants that are easily assessable. We enjoyed exploring the city, sitting out on the patio, and hanging out in the apartment space. Thanks for making this trip memorable! "
7435259,46771354,2015-09-13,33859161,Charles,"Always timely and informative communications from hosts. Very attentive! The apartment exceeded our expectations. The layout, neighborhood...we high recommend this property."
7435259,47681758,2015-09-21,39446321,Kristine,Chet was amazing! He provided us with so many great recommendations from where to eat to what to do. We had such an amazing time in Austin and Chet's hospitality was paramount to our experience. The accommodations were great too - which is a total understatement. We LOVED it! The place was just perfect for us and you could tell Chet took special care in providing us with anything/everything we might need. And the neighborhood was soooooo cute! We loved everything about our airbnb experience with Chet. Thank you!
7435259,48899612,2015-09-29,5777158,Stephanie,"Place was pleasantly perfect. Stayed here for our one year wedding anniversary. Super clean, super cute and in such a perfect location.  We were right in the middle of where we wanted to be. My husband & I rented bikes from Mellow Johnny's which was also perfect.  Chet made the place just right (including lots of snacks and cold drinks) for our stay in the beautiful, fun town of Austin. Be sure to check out the Graffiti park down the street. 5 star AirBnB! "
7435259,49269767,2015-10-02,17043361,Jessica,"The apartment was a great experience. It was clean, convenient and fully-stocked. My mom and I enjoyed our stay here.

Although we never met Chet or Sunni they were quick at responding to any and all of our questions. 

The only minor downside was there was construction next door and although the workers were friendly and courteous they were a bit noisy in the morning. 

As for the surrounding businesses. My mom and I walked everywhere. Within walking distance there is The ""haunted"" Tavern which has locally brewed Thirsty Goat on tap, Graffiti wall, The amazing 2-story Book People Bookstore and Waterloo Records. Walking downtown is a breeze and there are a lot of bars/restaurants and shops to keep one busy for a few days and nights for sure. 

We would recommend and stay in this apartment again. "
7435259,49462942,2015-10-04,27798656,Emily,"Great space in great location. The neighborhood is super quiet, but still close enough to walk to cute coffee shops in the morning and downtown to bars and restaurants at night. We stayed for ACL and it was close enough to walk to the shuttles and back. The house is was super clean and comfy! Thanks Chet!"
7435259,49813455,2015-10-06,30064969,Emily,"The apartment was perfect. Very clean and such and Comfortable bed. The fridge was stocked with cold drinks and all the coffee we could drink. We never saw Chet during our stay but if we messaged him for anything, his response was immediate. It was a great location close to everything that you might want to do in Austin and a lovely neighbour hood. Five stars all round. Thanks achey and Sunni! We'd love to be back one day."
7435259,50115619,2015-10-09,10701436,Mike,"This space is amazing and the hosts are wonderful. They do a great job of providing the same level of quality as a highly rated hotel. Everything you need is provided in abundance -- towels, toiletries, snacks, bottled water, coffee, etc. And the location is perfect -- a quiet residential street just a short walk from the Capitol building. I'll definitely stay here again whenever I'm in Austin. "
7435259,50188941,2015-10-10,43095059,Jake,"Great experience at this apartment! The place was exactly as described in the post - small, quiet, clean, comfortable, great location. It had everything I needed and more for my stay. Chet was more than helpful and accommodating to my needs, and made himself available throughout my stay. Would absolutely stay again! "
7435259,50466187,2015-10-12,41751952,Kenna,"This was a wonderful place to stay and very convenient to everything we wanted to do. We stayed over the weekend for ACL and were so excited both nights to get back to our place. Everything in the small apartment has been invested in and upgraded. Bedding, pillows, bathroom, shower head (heaven), and kitchen area. Would stay here again in a heartbeat on my next trip to Austin. Although we did not meet the host, they were very helpful over email with suggestions and offering their assistance should we need it. There was a keyless entry, easy parking on the street, and we felt very safe and secure in the neighborhood. Bonus - Hope Outdoor Gallery (really great graffiti artwork) is only two blocks away. Thanks so much!! "
7435259,50995355,2015-10-16,14043190,Katie,"Chet was very accommodating and helpful, full of hospitality and good information."

The neighborhood is very nice, and walking distance to downtown. You have your own privacy in this cozy room. The bed is so comfortable too. We were very pleased with our stay, and would recommend this to anyone visiting Austin. "
5480841,29893291,2015-04-13,8029492,Veronica,"Susan and Ky were very flexible and accommodating and the perfect fit for our very brief overnight stay in Austin.   

The condo is neat and comfortable and a $10 (or less) Uber ride from downtown.   Only wish we could have stayed in Austin longer!"
5480841,30266628,2015-04-19,30775561,Robin,"Our stay was wonderful. The house and the room were really beautiful, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood were also really pretty, quiet and well located. Thank you so much Susan and Ky for this great experience."

5480841,30434324,2015-04-21,27237748,Melissa,Susan and her husband were extremely nice and accommodating especially since we booked the room last minute and only stayed for one night. My only complaint would be the mattress is a little uncomfortable but other than that everything was nice and clean in the room. Their house is very warm and welcoming. So we absolutely would stay there again.  
5480841,30650134,2015-04-25,6529736,Matt,"Sarah and Ky were fantastic hosts, available to say hi and deal with anything that came up, while busy enough to leave you feeling like you have the place to yourself.

5480841,31345065,2015-05-04,7104468,Joanna & Harry,"Susan's place was great! It was so peaceful that I ended up lounging around more than I expected. The house was clean and her cats were so sweet. I would certainly stay again. Susan keeps an eco-friendly home, too, which is a major plus. An opportunity to compost while traveling? I'll take it!"

1860352,10936416,2014-03-14,1355112,Jean,"Loved Shawna's house!! Cozy and beautiful, the house was so well appointed, with thoughtful little touches everywhere---like a s'mores basket for the outdoor fire pit, snacks in the fridge, and a bike to borrow. Shawna and Eric were great hosts too; they even invited us over for wine, and helped us out when it was hard to find a taxi during SxSW. They live right next door, which makes it easy to ask questions. Highly recommend a stay here; you're in terrific hands."
1860352,13081539,2014-05-19,11308814,Holly,"We had a lovely stay at Hills Studio: the beds soft, decor warm and inviting, and the location can't be beat (close to all the action but far from the noise).  Shawna was so kind and helpful to us throughout our stay; she knew all the cool places in town to eat and play. We felt like we were at home away from home. We will definitely return, and will always remember our perfect graduation celebration weekend in our favorite Artist's Retreat.  Thank you, Shawna!! :) "
1860352,13946323,2014-06-09,7306071,M.,"We loved our stay at the bungalow. Its adorable and was very nicely decorated.  Lots of great artwork. It's just like the photos...very neat and clean.  You can't beat the location right it's right off Mopac.  Its so convenient and close to everything!  
Shawna was a great hostess...leaving us fresh flowers and a dessert treat. We will definitely stay there again!

M&M"
1860352,14994709,2014-06-30,16513480,Jieun,"We had such a great time at Cozy Clarksville/Tarrytown Bungalow. This place is not only very well-equipped and cozy just as it is shown in the pictures, but also close to every hot place in Austin. But the house itself is located very clam and quite neighborhood. Shawna is a really decent host who offered us nice dessert, drinks, and even provided stuffs for making s'more upon our request!! Cool! Highly recommendable and Definitely coming back again. "
1860352,20499094,2014-09-30,19283437,Shannon,"Couldn't have been happier! The house is beautifully decorated and comfy, the neighborhood is perfectly located to all, the fridge was thoughtfully stocked with goodies, and Shawna and her family are lovely and beyond accommodating. We hope to make this our Austin home every time we visit!"
1860352,21959461,2014-10-27,647403,Chris,Shawna's bungalow is perfect. We couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. We were very comfortable and felt right at home. 
1860352,22726105,2014-11-12,14601018,Trevor,Shawna is a wonderful host! Fantastic house! Great location!
1860352,23162699,2014-11-24,5911505,Ryan,"Shawna was the perfect hostess. Her cottage was warm, well decorated and very clean! She was gracious with our late arrival and greeted us with food and drink. We rested well in comfortable beds and found the house met all of our needs! We'll be back!"
1860352,24247811,2014-12-23,4149747,Christine,"We had a wonderful time staying in this bungalow. It was immaculate, comfortable and well decorated. Shawna was so accommodating! She had homemade chocolate cake in the refrigerator upon our arrival. Our kids played together in the backyard and she even invited them into her home while I packed up to go. This was the best experience I could have hoped for and certainly why we choose to do this instead of stay in hotels. "
1860352,24819930,2015-01-03,21333679,Lena," We were fortunate enough to spend Christmas together in Austin at Cozy Clarksville bungalow. The cottage is tastefully decorated, well equipped and has a warm cozy feeling. The location was a perfect fit with access to downtown, stores and highway. Shawna is a wonderful hostess. She made my whole family feel very welcomed and she had decorated the cottage for the Holidays. "
1860352,25840972,2015-01-27,22260785,Mary,"If you are looking for a cute, warm and perfectly located place to stay while in Austin (or enjoying a staycation) this is your place. Shawna is an amazing host. I needed a quiet place to stay while recovering from surgery and she went above and beyond to make that happen for me. She brought dinner from one of my favorite Austin restaurants the night I came back from the hospital. She checked on me while also leaving me all the space I needed to rest and recover. The house is so stylish and has all the warm touches you need to feel at home. My mom was there with me and she plans to stay there every time she and my dad come to visit from Charleston, SC. The location is minutes away from downtown but also far enough to enjoy the quiet neighborhood when you want to relax. 

I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy Austin. You cannot beat the price and having someone like Shawna nearby if you need anything is just an added perk to the many this space offers. 

Thanks Shawna for all of your help and care during my recovery!! We will be back very soon. "
1860352,26049298,2015-02-02,14141335,Kathleen,"Our stay at the charming Hills Studio was so pleasant and inviting.  Shawna was not only a very helpful host by making sure we had everything we needed, but also went above and beyond by leaving us sweet surprises and making our visit even more memorable!  The house has a great location since it's so close to downtown but still tucked away in a cute neighborhood area. Thanks so much Shawna!"
1860352,26342619,2015-02-09,27230921,John,"Shawna had the place ready for us in immaculate state. My family was so impressed, especially my daughters when they went around the house and discovered how every bed was ready for us and the welcome message Shawna left for us at the door.

The house is small on paper, but inside you feel very comfortable. The rooms were perfect for our party of 5, and everyone got a good sleep.

I would recommend taking extra earplugs if you're a light sleeper, as the train tracks from down the road (close to SH1) can be heard when everyone is asleep."
1860352,28157286,2015-03-19,3815066,Tom,"This place was perfect for me and two co-workers attending a conference in Austin. Shawna and family were wonderful. The fridge was stocked and there were brownies and cookies awaiting our arrival. Full kitchen, dishwasher, and washer/dryer meant we could pack lighter and get breakfast sorted out every morning before we headed out. Great neighborhood with parks, eating and shopping nearby. Firepit in the backyard, though we didn't get a chance to take advantage of that this time. Overall, excellent stay, would definitely recommend, and will probably be back soon."
1860352,28302733,2015-03-22,25847478,Kim,"I'm a little hesitant to go on about how perfect this house is because I want to stay there again. Seriously, perfect. Shawna should give a seminar on how to do airbnb. From the little signage on the door welcoming us to brownies to Johnny Cash playing on the iPod as we walked in to farm fresh eggs in the morning! Top-notch. Beds are comfy, kitchen has everything you need ... Just wish the weather had been nicer so we could have enjoyed the fire pit. What a wonderful couple of days."
1860352,28999109,2015-04-02,19665517,Laura,"The bungalow was indeed cozy and very comfortable.  It was apparent that much thought and consideration had gone into determining what would make the best experience  for their guest(s). All that combined with the communications with the owners as to what else they could do for us - helped us feel very welcomed and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

"
1860352,29162638,2015-04-05,647403,Chris,"We enjoyed a great, but all-too-brief weekend in Austin and Shawna was an outstanding host. This was our second stay at Shawna's cozy guest house. The location is great - very close to downtown but away from the hustle bustle. The house is amazingly comfortable and well-appointed. We enjoyed the coffee and plentiful Topo Chico in the spacious kitchen. The house is decorated with an elegant, modern dense of style and personality. The wifi is great, as is the parking and street access. On this stay we had the opportunity to meet Shawna's family and we immediately felt like long-time family friends - such hospitality and warmth. We look forward to returning as soon as we can."
1860352,29920338,2015-04-14,17084305,Kelli,"From the moment we got there everything was perfect. Cozy, beautifully decorated, brownies in the fridge, what more can one ask for? Shawna is an amazing host and very helpful with everything. We really felt at home. Will definitely be back. ;)"
1860352,31449077,2015-05-05,1731294,Stacy,"We had the loveliest stay at in Cozy Clarksville at the Hill Home while traveling with our two young children. Shawna was very proactive in reaching out prior to our arrival to make sure we knew where we going. The house location is centrally located in a beautiful neighborhood and was in perfect order when we arrived. Shawna was on hand to greet us to make sure we had everything we needed.  Basic amenities were available and good information about local places of interest and some extra special treats were left out to make our stay special. Our kids especially enjoyed the yummy pocky sticks! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this comfortable home away from home and we look forward to another visit next time we are in Austin.
Thank you!!!!

1860352,32230710,2015-05-16,20115272,Donna,"From the moment we arrived at this Tarrytown bungalow, we wished we could move in forever.  After many days of travel, it was wonderful to walk into a warm and beautiful home filled with music and flowers. Great care and attention to detail was in every room in this house, including treats in the kitchen, coffee for the morning, beautiful linens and extra blankets on the beds, a clean bathroom with soft towels, and a well-equipped kitchen for cooking every meal. The location of the house is perfect for exploring all of Austin, yet quiet enough to escape the city and relax with your family. 

Even better than the house itself was our experience with Shawna and her family. Shawna knew we are considering moving to the Austin area and provided special touches throughout the house to help us with our decision, as well as stuffed animals and books for our daughter and a bowl of water for our dog. She offered to prepare the kitchen with groceries we may need since we were traveling far and arriving late and offered to lend us a stroller for walking with our daughter. She communicated with us before, during and after the trip to be sure we had everything we needed, and provided valuable advice and suggestions for our time in Austin. Shawna thought of everything and went above and beyond. The entire family was very kind and welcoming. This was truly our best travel experience ever and not something you are likely to find anywhere else."
1860352,33362019,2015-05-27,7917372,Paul,"Shawna is an excellent host, and we loved staying at her bungalow! She was so nice and made us feel right at home. We found fresh-cut flowers throughout the house and the kitchen was stocked with some fun Texas-themed snacks and beverages that we really enjoyed. Her place is gorgeous, clean and centrally located, which makes it easy to travel to/from in-town activities. It was a great experience all around! We would definitely stay with Shawna again!"
1860352,34557080,2015-06-09,33294559,Debbie,"Shawna made us feel very welcome. The house was clean and very comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here.
"
1860352,35578750,2015-06-20,1412837,Lee,"I LOVED staying at this place!! Thank you so much, Shawna (and family), for creating a beautiful airbnb space. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. And I would stay here again in an instant the next time I'm in Austin. This is a beautiful place to stay in Austin, and Shawna has created an exceedingly comfortable (luxurious!!) place for guests: perfectly located, quiet, tranquil, private, thoughtful touches (water, beer, treats in the fridge upon check-in; incense/candles; interesting books, etc.), good taste, extremely comfortable beds (2), and such sincere hospitality. They even loaned me a bike (and lock, and backpack) to go pedaling around the city, which was a huge bonus. It's very apparent that Shawna has put a lot of thought into creating a beautiful & comfortable guest experience here. 5 star people all the way!! I only wish we could have spent more time together and had that glass of vino! Thank you again for everything!"
1860352,37476103,2015-07-07,26853861,Ann,"Our stay at the cottage was no less than amazing.  As another reviewer put it, Shawna puts so much thought into making sure that her guests have everything they need.  She really goes above and beyond and exceeded our expectations in every way possible.  The location of the house was also perfect, far enough but so close to everything.  We were traveling with our one year-old daughter for the first time and were nervous, but we were provided with everything we needed.  We visit Austin every year, and we will be sure to stay here again and again.  Thank you Shawna for making us feel a part of your family.  We miss you guys already!! "
1860352,49760544,2015-10-06,29114647,D,"We had a wonderful trip to Austin that was topped off by having a nice quiet and clean place to escape to. House was cool even in the heat of the day and beds comfy. 

Shawna was available for any questions we had and even set up a little sand area for my tot to play in. 

Convenient location. Would recommend! "

2516022,12623094,2014-05-06,576322,Eliza,I had an excellent stay at Bethany's place. The space was exactly as advertised and very clean and nicely fitted out. The bed is extremely comfortable. I appreciated the attention to detail in the decor and the Austin guide books in the room. Bethany's place is located on a quiet street a short walk (about 10 minutes) from the heart of downtown Austin. There is an assortment of food trucks located less than a 5 minute walk away. Bethany was very easy to deal with and I had no issues with responsiveness. I would stay here again.
2516022,13548355,2014-05-30,1832711,Kelly,Apartment was really lovely and Bethany is a wonderful host!
2516022,13858872,2014-06-06,14338989,Evan,Bethany's place is nothing short of amazing! And as a hostess she is very communicative and pays attention to all the details that matter. I had a great stay in Austin at her place.
2516022,14172251,2014-06-13,16509571,Kristen,"Bethany was very kind and attentive, but not remotely intrusive. The room itself has its own separate entrance and private bathroom, which has a heavy, locked door to the main part of the house. The apartment is impeccable, and the house is quite adorable. Parking on the street is plentiful. The location is about a 15 minute walk to the convention center, and my suggestion is to get to Cesar Chavez quickly and walk straight from there. I was a smidge uncomfortable as a woman walking in a dress and heels at 7:30 am. The neighborhood is definitely up and coming, but while there's a fabulously cute place on one corner the next has a woman washing her clothes in 5 gallon buckets in the yard. The folks were pleasant, but it was still awkward. I would do it again, though - it wasn't that bad.

Cenote, a couple blocks away, was a cute restaurant with very yummy food. I could never get the wireless to work outside - just fyi. Wireless at Bethany's was great however, and there is Netflix and other options on the TV. 

Bethany's is a great option over the big convention hotels and I'll probably use her room again. "
2516022,14325294,2014-06-16,16372279,Misty,"Our experience at Bethany's was wonderful.  It was clean, comfortable and within walking distance to almost everything we wanted to do in the downtown Austin area.  Bethany was very personable and gave us some good recommendations for places to eat.  We would definitely stay here again!"
2516022,14617706,2014-06-23,15200482,Wayne,"This was my first time to try Airbnb and I was a little nervous. Boy was I surprised! Bethany's place was terrific. Clean, convenient, quiet and comfortable! It looks even better in person than the pictures. Her attention to detail BLOWS AWAY any hotel I have stayed at. I will definitely stay there again."
2516022,14836467,2014-06-27,16013487,Dustin,"This place is amazing. The room is spacious and clean, a huge bathroom and very very clean. The location is great as well, right near downtown, the Capitol, 6th Street all super close."
2516022,14975095,2014-06-30,15809449,Natalie,"We enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay at Bethany's place! We walked to a convenience store to buy wine, walked to the neighborhood restaurant, Cenote, for breakfast, and easily walked to 6th street two evenings! Very convenient! We had a couple of requests for coffee and by the time we got back to the room, Bethany had already filled our request! We will be back!"
2516022,16064436,2014-07-21,2658104,Jessica,"The best air BNB we have ever stayed in! Bethany is the perfect host, she checked in on us to make sure we were having a good time and didn't need anything while also not being invasive at all. Her place is beautiful, styled so nicely. We got to do all the Austin touristy things while feeling like a local. Such a breath of fresh air after being in hotels for a month! "
2516022,16474058,2014-07-28,270673,Loryn,Wonderful location in east austin. Easy walk or bike ride to lots of fun places. Beautiful space. Bethany provided everything we would need for a comfortable stay. Check in very easy. Would definitely stay here again!
2516022,16663125,2014-07-31,3485882,Laurel,"Bethany's place was gorgeous. The unit was spotlessly clean, and decorated like a boutique hotel. It easily could've been a room at the W or something of that caliber, but had nice personal touches. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, with lots of great little shops around. We loved our stay there and would definitely stay with Bethany again if we come back. "
2516022,16999886,2014-08-05,276152,Patrick,Fantastic little room in the best possible location!
2516022,17438687,2014-08-12,6235196,Sabrina,"Bethany and Johanna were very welcoming. Whenever I needed something they were there. The accommodation has been well described, it was clean. The property is conveniently located next to the 6th street. I definitely recommend this property"
2516022,17698048,2014-08-16,18300064,Miri,Bethany's place was adorable! Very clean and accommodating. The place was kept cool during our entire stay with the AC on whether we were in or out! One of the best experiences my friend and I have had so far! We would definitely stay here again when we visit Austin!

2516022,19189225,2014-09-08,12999152,Allison,"We loved staying here!  The room was fully outfitted (literally, everything you need is included), clean, comfortable, and beautiful.  We also really enjoyed being on the East side of Austin, and being within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee shops.  Bethany left restaurant suggestions in our room, which we took full advantage of!  She was also very responsive any time we had a question.  We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Austin!"
2516022,19359802,2014-09-11,11913114,Amanda,"A great place to stay in Austin! It's true that everything is either within walking distance or a short drive/cab ride. There were some streets in the neighborhood that seemed questionable but we did not have any issues personally. Cenote is a great place for breakfast, within walking distance. I also really loved sixth street and South Congress. Bethany was a great host and extremely considerate. This was my first airbnb (and Austin!) experience and I left with no regrets."
2516022,20985663,2014-10-09,14951205,Courtney,"Bethany was extremely welcoming. I didn't meet her until the second day of my stay- as I was away all day and evening at a conference. The room was great, super clean and modern. Bethany had left simple rules (nothing unexpected) and instructions for places to see/ eat in Austin. The place was only a few blocks away from the convention center (about a 10 minute walk).

This was my first airbnb stay and it did not disappoint! "
2516022,21415755,2014-10-17,18126360,Joanna,"Bethany was very responsive to any questions and very welcoming. My flight home was at 18 pm and although the checkout time was set at 10 am Bethany was very flexible and I could stay in the room till it was time to go the airport. The room was awsome, very clean and modern. Even the fridge was filled with softdrinks and water for the guests. Bethany had left easy guide for great places in East Austin for coffee, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The room was only a 10 minute walk to downtown (convention centre) and 5 minute walkt to 6th E Street. On the corner of 6th and Waller you can rent a city bike at a checkpoint. From this checkpoint you can bicycle to all other hotspots in Austin: South of Congres, Raineystreet, etc. just in 10 to 20 minutes. This was my first airbnb booking and I would stay at Bethany any other time and recommend it to my friends."
2516022,21652799,2014-10-21,7089822,Eric,"As we pulled up to Bethany's location, we quickly noticed that the place was just as cool as the pictures led on. The home was beautifully landscaped in front, with a vibrant entry way, and even a two person seated swing! As we entered the private room location, with a separate entrance, we found a pristine room, with beautiful floors, a cool unique headboard, and a guide for our trip which helped us understand the area and guidelines for our stay. The guidelines themselves were specific to me and my girlfriend and really gave the experience a personal touch. Bethany left us with a few local books with things to do, and a list of amazing things to eat... don't disregard her list, after eating at 4 or 5 of the places and getting the vibe from the people in the neighborhood, Bethany's recommendations were 'spot on'. The rest of the room was beautiful, and the bathroom was super clean and cool (unique tiles and an awesome wooden vanity!) 

As for the area, we couldn't have been happier to be in this neighborhood. Everything in the area was super walkable, and easy to get around. There are b-bikes (city bike share system) about 5 minutes walking which we used quite a bit, and a group of bars and restaurants  close by as well. For those who are interested in E 6th street... this portion of E 6th street was my favorite; it was cleaner, more unique, with better food than the touristy area. That said, if you want to head down to the iconic section of E 6th street, its about a 15 minute walk, or 5 minute drive/cab.

In terms of food in our area, we highly recommend: Lichas Cantina (for unique authentic Mexican food), Sputnik (for Burgers), Brew & Brew (this was my favorite place of the trip... great coffee, and even better beer selection... roughly 30 beers on tap in an awesome space), Cenote (great brunch, breakfast tacos were on point), and many more.

Lastly, Bethany was very attentive to any questions we had, which were mostly just looking for recommendations. Also, along the way she surprised us with something... which made my girlfriends day... thanks Bethany.

We loved this room, area, Bethany and would recommend it to our friends and family as well! Enjoy your stay!"
2516022,21938319,2014-10-27,3324410,Kim,"Bethany was an incredible host and her private apartment was a delight to stay in. I had to arrive late, so she kindly left me the key in a lockbox. Her place is extremely cute and clean and Bethany went above and beyond to make my stay special. She left information on her recommended places to eat (of which I took full advantage) and even provided a coffee and a refrigerator stocked with an assortment of drinks. One day, she even surprised me by leaving a goodie-bag with a treat from her favorite candy store and some soap she had made by hand. The place is located in easy walking distance to downtown and I hope I get to stay in Bethany's place when I go to Austin again next year."
2516022,22095560,2014-10-30,15497607,Hamzah,"This was a most pleasurable experience. Bethany was a wonderful host and the room was better than we had hoped for. It had little things, pens and paper for notes, coffee machine with a selection of coffees in the room and to top it all drinks in the fridge all cool for us after a long hot drive from Dallas. It is very close to all the attractions in Austin and we recommend it very much.
Thank you Bethany,
Marvellous."
2516022,22353074,2014-11-04,4562403,Cathleen,"What a lovely room and host!  After spending long days out and about enjoying Austin, it's so nice to come back to such a comfortable and clean place in East Austin (great base location).  Bethany is a joy to talk to and so thoughtful in providing amenities.  The refrigerator with drinks came in handy for us.  Since we love to eat, we especially appreciated her suggestions on neighborhood places, printed out with a list and map.  We would definitely stay here again!"
2516022,22483444,2014-11-08,1074083,Ronald,"What a fabulous room.  Bethany has made it beautiful.  The furnishings, the quality of the furniture and fittings and all the little touches are fabulous - it is like staying in a 5 star hotel.
The location is great too, just a short walk and you are in the centre of Austin but equally, if like us you prefer to visit the little places that are in Austin but not the centre, it is 2 minutes to the motorway and there is ample free and safe parking too.
We absolutely loved it.  We did not get the chance to meet Bethany in person to thank her personally for letting us stay.  
We would absolutely recommend this accommodation if you are visiting Austin - you will not find anything better for this price at all."
2516022,22642784,2014-11-11,18070172,Aaron,"Great room, and Bethany was a perfect host.  The photos accurately depict the room.  It is in a great location, with a ton of bars, music venues, and restaurants within walking distance.  It's my favorite neighborhood in Austin.  

Bethany provides a mini-fridge stocked with drinks and water.  There are plenty of clean towels, and hotel-style toiletries.

She also provides guides with things to do in the area if you aren't familiar with it.  

High marks all around. "
2516022,23194911,2014-11-24,23937077,Paige,"We had a wonderful stay in Bethany's beautiful home! The guest room is so pretty, modern and fun. When we arrived, Bethany had a lovely treat waiting for us to welcome us back to Austin.
Her house is in one of the best locations for hitting up Austin's favorite coffee shops, art studios, etc. We were there for the East Austin Art Show and could easily walk to all of the places on our list. 
Love, love loved this house and Bethany's hospitality! "
2516022,23792798,2014-12-10,1581968,Amy,"We loved Bethany's place! What a wonderful experience, start to finish. I contacted Bethany by text before we arrived and we communicated that way during our stay. She is welcoming, friendly and a perfect host. And the place is top notch, not a single complaint.

My husband and I arrived late and got the key at the front door in a lock box, and the room was even nicer than we expected. The place was immaculate--everything from floors to tub to bed, as clean and fresh as can be. And it was also so well-designed and styled! (Cool tiles in the bathroom, fun modern wooden ceiling fan with wallpaper on the ceiling! I could go on and on about the vibe of the place, but that's what photos are for…) I appreciated Bethany's extra touches -- including that it had a small fridge and that she had offered small containers of body wash and shampoo, because we had completely forgotten to bring our own! I loved that she provided little maps and recommendations for local spots, and a cool Austin book to flip through.

We were absolutely thrilled with the location, too. My husband and I are originally from NYC and are big big walkers. So from this spot in East Austin, we barely had to use our car. We walked from here to other spots in East Austin (like to the La Barbecue truck a few blocks away on Cesar Chavez and over John Mueller's BBQ truck down E. 6th St). We walked to the Downtown 6th St spots, and we even walked from here across the bridge to the great South Congress spots, like hitting some music at The Continental Club and grabbing a drink at the Hotel San Jose. (NOTE: These are long walks!! And some of the streets further into in East Austin could be too sketchy feeling on foot for some.) But we loved being able to investigate all these areas on our walks, and Bethany's place was the perfect home base to do it.

The only bummer is that we never got to meet Bethany! We just spent so much of our time out exploring Austin, we never got the chance. Can't recommend this spot enough."
2516022,24082384,2014-12-19,4256144,Liz,Great little room on the side of a beautiful house in East Austin. Very clean and cozy. I only saw Bethany once during my stay but she was very nice and welcoming! This room is connected to her house but you have your own entrance and it feels very private. It is street parking but I never had any trouble parking right in front of the house! Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it for a single person or a close couple. 
2516022,24275328,2014-12-24,928947,Jeanne,"Great and relaxing home for our stay. Walking distance to sixth street where there is great food and bars. Also close to La Barbeque, amazing bbq if you don't want to wait for hours at Franklin's. Very clean and great directions for check in and check out."

2516022,25792761,2015-01-26,1758579,Aaron,"What a great place to stay in Austin. From the moment I booked, communication with Bethany was great. I didn't meet Bethany until the final day of my stay, but Bethany did check in most days and even offered great suggestions for a rainy day.
The room is spectacular. Clean, warm and with everything you need
including tea, coffee, water and even flavored sparkling water.
Bethany's house is a short walk to downtown, and just around the corner from all the bars, restaurants and food trucks/trailers on E6th Street.
This is the place to stay in Austin. Great location, great host and a great city. "
2516022,25936142,2015-01-30,6893850,Ramiro,"Fantastic Stay, Perfect location for experiencing everything Austin has to offer especially the East Side. Highly recommend staying here for any occasion. "
2516022,26129103,2015-02-04,24595424,Leah,"Loved Bethany's place! Everything was neat and very well maintained.   I felt like I was the first guest to stay there. The location is great as well, with easy access to Austin nightlife and Highway 35. Bethany was a great host: greeting me when I arrived and checking in to make sure all was going well, while still allowing privacy. I will definitely keep Bethany in mind for future visits to Austin."
2516022,26415238,2015-02-12,1371628,Angella,"Bethany's house could not be located better - it's a short walk across the train tracks to fun restaurants, bars and food truck lots on the east side. Rainey Street, downtown, Capitol building and the six street bars are also easily walkable.

The room looks just like it does in the pictures - super clean and brand new fixtures. I really appreciated the little fridge and Keurig machine that came in very handy. The bathroom is stocked with plenty of towels and extra toilet paper -- and even amenities like travel-sized toothpaste, shampoo, soap, razors, etc. in case you need it. 

The house itself is gorgeous even though we only had access to our room. The neighborhood is definitely up and coming, so Bethany's house sticks out and is very easy to find. The house is really new and  the high tech locks on the doors and windows made me feel safe. 

On some late nights we heard music pretty clearly in our room (not sure where it was coming from). Thankfully Bethany also stocked the room with ear plugs!"
2516022,26673097,2015-02-17,21003242,Jess,"From the start, Bethany did a great job communicating check-in and check-out times and provided detail instructions for the stay.  The place is located in a great part of Austin and is in walking distance to many great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops.  Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend the place when visiting Austin."
2516022,26870811,2015-02-21,6688579,Lucas,"Bethany's room was fantastic. Beautiful and spacious, it was decked out with everything we could have wanted. The facilities are well appointed, and it is close to many great restaurants and food trucks including the king of barbecue, la Barbecue. 

Bethany was also a great host. She said hello at the beginning of the trip and checked in with us via AirBnB, and she was wonderful in letting us have our space for our vacation. Truly a great experience."
2516022,27226150,2015-02-28,6091828,Cassidy,"Bethany's home is in the perfect location of Austin - I could easily walk to any of the best spots in east Austin (La BBQ, yoga, Brew & Brew, etc) and driving wasn't an issue thanks to ample parking in the neighborhood. The space itself was cozy and comfortable - I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. Perfect location, perfect price, and perfect space - what more could you ask for? "
2516022,27389423,2015-03-03,25693193,Ashley,"This quaint room in downtown Austin was perfect for my best friend and I for the long weekend! Bethany's suggestions for local food and activities really helped us to shape and plan our trip and we were not at all disappointed. 

The place was clean and VERY centrally located - most of our Ubers were no more than $5 to and from wherever it was we were going and the most expensive was to & from the airport - only $20 (as a New Yorker - this is AMAZING). 

A pleasant surprise upon arrival was that there was a mini fridge, microwave, and small Keurig with k-cups, as well. 

Although we didn't have the opportunity to meet Bethany during our stay because she was out of town herself, she was very attentive and made sure that the place was clean when we arrived and that we had no trouble. 

Our experience was a great one! I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity presented itself."
2516022,27539444,2015-03-07,12743493,Allen,"Bethany is a wonderful host, very responsive and accomodating. She met me when I arrived and gave me some excellent tips for things to do in the neighborhood. The room is very comfortable and within easy walking distance to downtown. The neighborhood is cute and feels like a small town even though it is very close to the city center. I would definitely stay there again. "
2516022,29909852,2015-04-14,25249697,Sheila,"Staying at Bethany's place was terrific. It was a very clean room, the bed was comfortable, which was a big concern of ours, and we had lots of privacy. It was great to sit on the swing chair on the porch and have a cocktail. The only negative was a very loud rooster that woke us up at dawn.  Bethany provided ear plugs, which helped. 

The location was what I expected. Just around the corner from coffee shops, food trucks, and The White Horse - we saw some great bands there. 

We will be back in Austin next year and will plan to stay here again.

2516022,30922122,2015-04-29,1751850,Katie,"We loved our stay!  The room was clean and looked exactly as it does in the photos.  Really appreciated the basket of bathroom extras, water in the fridge, and the available ear plugs!"
2516022,31163158,2015-05-03,25896780,Courtney,"My Fiance and I had an incredible time in Austin while staying with Bethany. The room was clean, in a great location and even had water in the fridge and travel size toiletries on hand in case we forgot something. Bethany was also very friendly and gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants and things do do. Overall, a great experience!"
2516022,31513221,2015-05-06,6181415,Alissa,"Bethany's place is exactly as pictured, modern and clean.  The thoughtful extras were also very much appreciated, including plenty of k-cups, towels and local recommendations with menus. The porch swing was so nice to enjoy.  Location is an easy walk to various areas. At night, most ubers were $5 max.  As someone previously mentioned, there is a neighborhood rooster (Bethany provides earplugs) - probably not an issue for decent sleepers.  Bethany was easy to get in touch with through booking and our during our stay.  In all, a great base to explore an awesome city!"
2516022,31930198,2015-05-12,1681033,Rob,"We decided to stay here as the place was located near to the Psychfest downtown shuttle bus pick up, drop off point and the pictures of Bethany's place looked very inviting. Bethany's place is probably the best house in the neighborhood. Modern and clean. Bethany's suggestions for places to check out in the neighborhood are spot on. Had a great breakfast at Cenote, amazing BBQ at La Barbecue, some good beers at Brew and Brew (great selection), met some great people at Byron and Blue (next door to Brew and Brew). The neighborhood itself is undergoing gentrification but it still feels a bit sketchy, industrial and poverty stricken. We didn't feel particularly safe walking about at night and a couple of times we opted to get Uber, even though we were only a few blocks away. Good location if you want to party Downtown and get a cab back."
2516022,32505453,2015-05-19,14476852,William (Ben),"Both Bethany and the space were great! Bethany checked in every once in awhile just to see if all was good which was nice. She had a great suggestion book for the area! As for the space it was just right, well appointed, comfy amenities, and quiet. It's also a quick zip in an out of downtown and South Lamar."
2516022,33432265,2015-05-28,13972012,Anna,"Although we never got the chance to meet Bethany, we felt immensely welcome while staying in her room -- which felt very private and separate from the rest of her house. The space was lovely and comfortable and a respite from our busy days and nights in Austin. A great place to come back to. We were also really happy and surprised that what turned out to be some of our favorite bars and music venues  were within walking distance from her home.  I would definitely recommend the space to friends! "
2516022,33904310,2015-06-02,414366,Kelly,"I absolutely loved staying at Bethany's home. The location is perfect and though I never actually met Bethany, she was easy to communicate with and very accommodating! If you are planning a trip to Austin, don't miss out on the chance to stay at this wonderful spot. (PS--the porch swing is amazing!)"
2516022,34423467,2015-06-08,16900542,Adam,"Bethany was great, and her room is just perfect for a stay in Austin. She had a nice welcome note and 'house manual' full of recommendations for local restaurants and bars. We ate at several of her recommended places, and we weren't disappointed! Bethany was also accommodating one evening when we were attending an outdoor event. She graciously provided a blanket we could take to sit on. She also provides Netflix on the TV. The room is beautifully decorated and designed. A true diamond! "
2516022,35080965,2015-06-15,17567473,Liz,"Bethany's place is absolutely perfect! It is exactly as it looks in the pictures if not better.  Incredibly clean and she thought of everything! There is a fridge with waters and seltzers, a Keurig with coffee and all the fixin's, toiletries, towels, as well as books & maps about Austin.  She also included a binder with all of her recommendations in the neighborhood and any phone numbers one might need.  Though we never got to meet Bethany, she checked in with us periodically to see if we needed anything.  Loved the location in East Austin.  Quiet street but a very short walk to lots of great restaurants, bars, yoga studio, etc. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin!!"
2516022,36081577,2015-06-25,24903174,Christopher,"Excellent logement, très calme, très propre, très confortable, à deux minutes à pied d'une multitude de bars et restaurants charmants. 
Beaucoup de petites attentions très appréciées dans la chambre.
Ce fut un plaisir d'avoir cet endroit comme QG lors de notre découverte d'Austin."
2516022,39288511,2015-07-22,3735412,Brendan,Bethany's accommodations were absolutely wonderful. The room was in perfect condition and supplied with everything we needed for our stay. We loved the neighborhood and being so close to everything. 10/10 would stay again!!
2516022,39924210,2015-07-27,9802417,Nomi,"Bethany's place was perfect for my stay in Austin: walkable as promised to both the convention center and and endless supply of great places to eat. The room was immaculate and stylish, and well supplied with both home comforts and helpful neighborhood information. Although Bethany and I didn't have a chance to meet in person, she was welcoming in her communication and checked in with me just the right amount. "
2516022,40657668,2015-08-01,6290458,Jeff,"Bethany was really nice and her place was perfect, great location,check in was simple,I would definitely stay again."
2516022,41074783,2015-08-04,23524350,Loren,"This was the best airbnb experience I have had to date. The private room was amazing and had thoughtful touches throughout. The location was great as we could walk for coffee, food and drinks. Bethany was easy to work with and accommodating."
2516022,42256336,2015-08-12,32079834,Christine,"I can't say enough wonderful things about staying with Bethany!

After landing in Austin a few hours before the official 'check-in' time I e-mailed her asking if it would be okay if I came over a bit early. Bethany not only responded right away but cleaned and prepared the room ahead of schedule, going out of her way so I could come over straight from the airport.

Bethany herself is super sweet and very quick to make herself available. I only met her the first day, during which she gave me a bunch of tips about eating and touring around the city, but she made sure to e-mail me throughout the week to ensure everything was going well. I'm confident that if I had needed anything she would've been able to help me.

With regards to appearance and convenience, this location really can't be beat. The room and bathroom are not only extremely clean and well-furnished, but very private. Bethany provides a bunch of little amenities that really add up to making the entire experience that much more comfortable. To name a few, her room had a desk with writing supplies (which I ended up using a lot), a little fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker. For me, having a fridge stocked with seltzer and bottles of water on 105 degree days ended up being a major lifesaver!

The neighborhood itself is pretty quiet, but walk 5 minutes and you'll stumble across some pretty awesome cafes. I was actually in Austin to attend a convention, so being a 10 minute walk away from the Convention Center was a major plus!

Perhaps the best thing about staying here is that it really ended up feeling like a second home to me while I was in Austin. If I ever end up visiting again, getting to stay in this place will be a top priority!!
"
2516022,43275135,2015-08-18,6060141,Lydia,"We had such a wonderful time at Bethany's apartment. The private space was very cute, clean and just as listed. Her house is gorgeous and in a very cool neighborhood. Although we didn't get to meet Bethany, she was very communicative and checked up on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. I will absolutely return to Bethany's space if I head back to Austin!"
2516022,44104827,2015-08-24,32594119,Nikki,My husband and I were in Austin for a conference.  We really enjoyed staying at Bethany's home.  It was extremely close to downtown and the Convention Center.  We walked back and forth from the conference each day and sampled each of the restaurants on the way.  The room was spacious and quiet.  We are looking forward to our next trip to Austin and we are hoping that Bethany's house is available for our next stay!
2516022,45167915,2015-08-31,1036262,Bayley,"Truly seamless.  Everything was there and ready for me to just unpack and relax. 

Bethany had a little ""go to"" guide with wifi passwords, etc.  Extremely accommodating while still letting us have our privacy.  Would stay again- especIally given how clean, comfortable and central this property is! "
2516022,46126487,2015-09-08,31147391,Nate,"This was our first time using Airbnb, and we could not have been happier with our stay. Bethany was an amazing host and did everything to make us feel welcome. She really went above and beyond to accommodate us: A mini-fridge stocked with drinks, a binder full of menus from nearby restaurants, a drawer full of guides for things to see/do, etc. The apartment was clean and comfortable and exactly as described. The location was perfect too--easy to park and so close to everything Austin has to offer. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Austin!"
2516022,46588287,2015-09-12,1040068,Hans & Megan,"Staying at Bethany's was such a treat. She met us as we arrived and was very welcoming. She even sent us a message after a couple days to make sure we had all we needed. The apartment fit our needs just right. Simple, clean and stylish, it was cozy, yet comfortable enough to accommodate our sloth-paced mornings. The neighborhood was also great. A bit off the beaten path, so fairly quiet, but within 5min walk to  a vibrant and offbeat mix of bars, restaurants and clubs.  Overall we loved Austin, and our time at Bethany's."
2516022,47620637,2015-09-21,18062249,Jennifer,"We felt very welcome.  We had a binder folder of info which answered any questions.  She provided us with plenty of towels, coffee, bed was comfortable and very clean suite."
2516022,48189147,2015-09-24,5775404,Rob,"A great space in a great location! If you're leery about renting a room that is technically inside of someone's house--don't be. Bethany's rental has its own private entrance, has a private bathroom right off the main bedroom, and is completely separate from the rest of the house. Ample street parking in a quiet and safe neighborhood just steps from many authentic Austin bars and restaurants. There is also a bike share pickup/drop off very close that is very easy to use. Bethany has left no detail of this beautiful space unturned--but should you find one  she is easy to get a hold of and I have no doubt will handle it promptly. Do yourself a favor and book this space for your next trip to Austin. You won't regret it! "
2516022,48878787,2015-09-29,8688249,Jeremy And Jordan,Bethany is an excellent host. We absolutely loved her retreat. She did a spectacular job designing it. It has all the amenities you could want. It is easy to walk everywhere and close to the airport. We would absolutely stay here again. 
2516022,49218638,2015-10-02,9878163,Joe,"Bethany was very welcoming and was at the house to show us the place, and answer questions.  The place is also a short walk to downtown, which was great.  We felt right at home."
2516022,49586782,2015-10-05,30906384,Meghan,"Bethany's space is fantastic. It was great that we had parking out front.  I think my favorite part was how close we were to the pedicab hub and the Whitehorse! It was a great place to stay for new comers to the wonderful city of Austin.  Room was clean and spacious for two and she even provided us a few local beers, coffee, and water.  We had a wonderful time and hope to come back to visit soon!"
2516022,50071854,2015-10-09,5440717,Jessie,"This room in Austin was the perfect size! Tall roof, comfortable bed and pillows, and all the comforts of home. Easy walk downtown or to the bars on 6th. Definitely follow this house's instagram for local favorite spots. Bethany was a wonderful host and I would definitely stay here again."
2516022,50614232,2015-10-13,32865619,Amanda,Bethany was an absolutely wonderful host! She left us a nice book of menus and places nearby to go - we took a lot of those recommendations and they ended up great. The place was clean and absolutely beautifully decorated. The bed was really plush and comfy with a beautiful headboard. The bathroom was like staying at a spa!
2516022,50940546,2015-10-16,18235999,Roman,"Bethany's place is wonderful. The decor is modern and tasteful, I particularly liked the contemporary wooden floors. The bed is of high quality and the super clean bathroom has a stylish oversized mirror. These things make the difference. The location is excellent, I have walked to all the downtown places at different times day and night. My chat with Bdthany was brief and she seems to be a very nice person. Definitely recommended."
2516022,51432611,2015-10-20,26258187,Sounita,"Bethany's place was just as pictured, if not cuter!! It was a great location, close to downtown and had a ton of toiletries and great info about Austin and things to do, helpful tips etc."
2516022,51715470,2015-10-24,38636338,Yves,"The room was nice and clean. Very comfortable .
Thank you Bethany."
2516022,52306426,2015-10-28,24847533,Josh,"Bethany's room was EXACTLY as pictured which was a relief for us being our first AirBnB experience! The room was well appointed and Bethany left a few drinks in the fridge for us, some information on places to eat close by along with copies of menu's which was really helpful.

The weather was dreadful when we arrived so Bethany left us a poncho and a umbrella which proved to be life savers for us at the formula 1! She also gave us some options on what to do when the weather is bad (Alamo Drafthouse - we also recommend!).

Highly recommended!
"
5438705,28670776,2015-03-28,29192833,Christopher,Great host with lots of good tips on the area.  For the area the condo was very affordable.  It could be a little cleaner with just a little extra attention but it was more just dusty than dirty.  Also the windows let all sounds in so it's a little loud at night. 
5438705,29117336,2015-04-04,28933283,Joe,We had a great experience here! The location is great for 6th Street and Rainey Street. SoCo was only about $6 using Über but can be walked to if you don't mind a work out. There's plenty of places to eat and drink at in the area. The condo was spotless and modern! It was stocked with any household item you would need and the fridge even had bottles of water. John and Jenny were a pleasure to deal with and were so easy to get in touch with. This condo was the perfect place to stay for two people! 
5438705,29686200,2015-04-11,26925926,Gary,"Description was accurate, and hosts were very friendly.  Quite enjoyed my stay - apartment had everything you could possibly need, and felt very private.  "
5438705,29835323,2015-04-13,10320128,Jana,"Fantastic location and really affordable for what you get.  John (who was immediately responsive to all inquiries) met us upon arrival with Coltrane on the record player.  The place is cosy and clean and amenities like nice soaps, bottled water and coffee were unexpected and very appreciated.  Location can't be beat for getting around a lot of the fun stuff by foot.  One thing: we stayed over a weekend and there were a LOT of young people also staying in the building clearly there to hit 6th and have a good and drinky time - the nightly 2:30am parade of them LOUDLY coming home directly next to the bedroom window was a bummer.  Bring ear plugs (or stay out that late yourself! :) "
5438705,30388609,2015-04-21,28232463,Katie,"My friend and I had a great time staying at John (and Jenny's) in downtown Austin. They were quick to respond to any questions we had about the condo and the surrounding area. John met us at the condo and had the place clean from top to bottom. He left waters in the frig and coffee we could make. The apartment has just about everything you would need - towels, hair dryer, washer/dryer, TV with cable, etc. The complex is secure from the public with a fob entry which was comforting (even though we felt safe in the area). The location is perfect for walking anywhere downtown - just a few blocks from 6th Street, Rainey St, and Congress. If we go back we will definitely book with John!"
5438705,31104343,2015-05-02,17553068,Andrea,"Great location - was literally 4 blocks from where our conference was located; super easy to walk.  Also 1 block from metro train and airport flyer bus stop.  Place was very clean, John met us in person to show us around and stocked the fridge with plenty of bottled water (Very nice!).  It looks exactly like this picture - very cute and welcoming! "
5438705,31437315,2015-05-05,17195153,Alexandra,"My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at this condo! It was clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We felt right at home! There were waters in the fridge when we arrived and toiletry samples in the bathroom for us to use during our stay. I cannot tell you how incredible the location is! Right in the heart of it all! Even better was that we were able to use the unit's parking space in the lot behind the building. Parking in the area can be a challenge but we had no worries since we had a protected place to park. The unit sits at one of the entrances to the building so it does get noisy on the weekend as people enter and exit the building. It's definitely manageable as I used earplugs the second night. No big deal! 5 star stay! "
5438705,31674192,2015-05-08,21967401,Phillip,My stay at the condo in Austin was perfect. The place was exactly what I was looking for  and close to everything downtown. I didn't get a chance to meet John and Lesley. But they communicated very well via text and email. When I'm ever back in Austin I will look here first.
5438705,32931332,2015-05-23,22372601,Madison,"John met us at the front of the complex upon our arrival and showed us around the apartment and the parking lot. He was very nice and helpful.

The apartment was just as pictured online. It had everything you would need - towels, washer/drier, coffee and coffeemaker, and lots of bottled water in the fridge.

It is in amazing location - right next to the convention center and within walking distance of 6th Street and Rainey Street. We had a great time!

My only critique is that noise level of the apartment. The bedroom bedroom is right up against a main hallway that echos quite a bit. Both nights we stayed there, we were woken up several times in the night by people making noise in the hall. I recommend bringing ear plugs."
5438705,33250609,2015-05-26,19108098,Claire,"John was extremely welcoming. He greeted us when we arrived and he let us drop our stuff off early since we arrived early while the apartment was still being cleaned. The apartment is just like how it looks in pictures. It is VERY clean and everything is just perfect. I must say the apartment location is absolutely PERFECT. My fiancé and I walked everywhere we needed to go (no rental car needed) and took an Uber to a few restaurants in the evening that were a little farther outside of Austin. 

John was also extremely accommodating when we got stuck in Austin an extra night with the horrible storms that were happening. He let us stay since no one was coming in the next day. He really saved us from having to get a hotel room for more than double the price for one night. 

We will ABSOLUTELY try to stay here again on our next visit to Austin!"
5438705,34157103,2015-06-05,12445878,Chris,"My colleague and I had a fantastic stay at the apartment. It is walkable to so many great bars and restaurants and John could not have been more helpful with the arrival logistics. 

The cold bottled water in the fridge was a really nice amenity too. I would stay at the apartment again in a heartbeat! "
5438705,36138883,2015-06-25,11403106,Calvin,"Love the central location which allowed me to walk everywhere. The ice cold bottled water in the fridge was a nice amenity in the hot Austin weather. Great attitude and hospitality from the host and he even gifted me an Austin post card. 

It's located on the ground floor, next to the complex entrance, so may be a little noisy at night as people return from various nighttime activities. "
5438705,36764892,2015-07-01,15957079,Brian,"John made us feel welcome and gave us a complete orientation. His place is very nice and centrally located. Everything you need was there, including toiletries and information on the area.
Thanks!"
5438705,37373615,2015-07-06,35424299,Kristin,"John was an excellent host and we really enjoyed our time in his place. The pictures and description were perfect. We were within walking distance of pretty much everything we wanted to experience and the complex was easy to get in and out of both by car and when walking around. The books on Austin and record player were a nice addition and the coffee and bottled water were much appreciated. If you're looking for a location where you can park your car for the weekend and wander the city, this is definitely it. It was great to get a whole apartment for less than we would have paid for a room at a hotel. Thanks John!"
5438705,37845679,2015-07-11,9847407,Christina,John was awesome and we really enjoyed our stay.
5438705,39577437,2015-07-24,23268517,Jordan,"John's apartment was the perfect location and set-up for a quick trip to Austin. It was an excellent location in downtown Austin, super convenient to many things (rainey st., the river trails, etc.). I was able to walk most of the time I was there. John was super flexible and accommodating when it came to check in. The apartment itself is on the smaller side, but it was completely fine for a few days. The only thing I would note about it is that it is located on the first floor of a two story complex, so there were times at night where I could hear the upstairs neighbors moving around. Also, the bath/shower were a little outdated/not much hot water, but it wasn't a huge deal for a two-day trip. Overall, I had a very positive experience and would definitely consider renting from John again next time I'm in town. "
5438705,39958037,2015-07-27,13231226,Stephen,"Nice clean, simple apartment in great location, just as advertised.  Well-stocked with cold water in the fridge and a variety of toiletries - soaps, shampoos, toothpastes, etc.. - available in the bathroom.  

John and the leasing manager Jenny were both extremely responsive and helpful.  "
5438705,40397699,2015-07-30,34782262,Jim,"John's place was perfect. Nice and close to east sixth street and all the other main areas. His apt. Is right next to all the high end hotels where you would easily pay over $200 a night. The apt itself was great, nice and clean and a fridge stocked with cold water.
Everything was perfect."
5438705,40903463,2015-08-03,32747495,Jennifer,"We had a wonderful experience with John and Jenny! They went out of their way to make sure that we were always: informed, prepared and taken care of. They answered questions promptly and always made themselves available if we needed anything. Beyond that, the condo was absolutely perfect and stocked by John and Jenny for anything that we could need. They even provided snacks and water to welcome us! The location was truly perfect - close to downtown for walking and close to I35 for driving anywhere. Everything was simple and taken care of - we simply can't say enough about the condo and our hosts - wonderful!!
"
5438705,42108238,2015-08-11,7364633,Vanessa,"What a cute little place! It was perfect for us as our event was at the convention center. Very clean, secure, and close to everything. Loved that they left water and trail mix for us. Shower get great and the bed was very comfortable. Hope to stay here again! "
5438705,43106520,2015-08-17,15679064,Kell,The place was in a prime downtown location close to all the great things Austin has to offer. The condo was beautiful and comfortable. 
5438705,43902735,2015-08-23,20932299,Cindy,"I had communicated with John or his sister a few times before going there.  They were excellent in communication and made our arrival smooth.  We were arriving around midnight, they told us how to enter, where to get the key, and where to leave the key after we leave.  We were leaving about 5am.  

Overall, they were gracious and excellent communicator.  I would recommend to stay with them again. "
5438705,44371334,2015-08-25,147911,Lisa,Great location and nice apartment!  I felt very welcomed walking in the door.  Parking spot is awesome!  I had a great stay...
5438705,44725826,2015-08-28,20843452,Gareth,"Incredible location, great space, very friendly and informative host, not to mention one of the coolest cities I've visited! Will definitely recommend, and will definitely visit again soon!"
5438705,45250127,2015-09-01,34947333,Laurie,"John was very friendly and welcoming. He allowed us to drop off our luggage before the check in time because our flight came in early and they had not finished cleaning. The place was as described and perfect for a short stay in Austin.

Pros:
The location is really great. We were in town for a wedding and all our friends were staying at the Hilton and we were right next door. I liked how the buidling was secure with a gate. It was really walkable to everything and easy to grab a cab if needed.

John left us some snacks and lots of bottled water which was much appreciated and needed in Austin. The place was clean with plenty of amenities.

The air conditioning was much needed and worked very well.

Cons:
The first floor got kind of noisy at night with people walking by and talking when they were going in or out. The upstaoirs neighbor stomps when they walk so that is loud as well at night.
The water in the shower NEVER got hot.. not even warm. It was semi nice if you came in from a hot summer day and went immediately into the shower but if not it was really hard to take a shower.
"
5438705,46154485,2015-09-08,32083627,Andrew,"Great central location.  Good for seeing the entire city of Austin in a weekend.  Apartment itself is great.  All the amenities (towels, soap, coffee, etc.) included.  Very clean.  Also enjoyed a couple songs on the record player!  As others have stated, the building can be a little noisy at night, but overall, it was not an issue for us.  100% would stay with again, and this gets my recommendation."
5438705,46667178,2015-09-12,43526031,Jemima,Johns place was perfect for what I needed during murine in Austin. The instructions that were left for me were easy to follow and the extra little snacks and beverages were a great bonus. If I was ever in Austin again I would try and stay longer. Thanks John!
5438705,46928834,2015-09-14,8267165,Sarah,The apartment was located in the heart of Downtown Austin. Excellent location. John was very welcoming and helpful. Great air B and B!
5438705,49763055,2015-10-06,34509221,Kyle,"Great location, John provided plenty of water and snacks and was very easy to work with."
5438705,50178326,2015-10-10,41769609,Peggy,"Extremely friendly and accommodating hosts.  The place was ""cozy"" but perfectly clean, well stocked with water and snacks, and quiet!  Recommend!"
5438705,50618613,2015-10-13,23957479,Ashley,"I stayed in this condo for second weekend of ACL. It was in a perfect area for everything- a quick walk to Rainey st, 6th St and a short peddy cab ride to Zilker Park. The condo is quaint, a little small for any larger group than 4 but was perfect for my sister and I. John was very helpful and prompt in answering questions. I would definitely stay there again!"
5438705,51067887,2015-10-17,13963307,Francis,"Convenient place, simple process with John."
5438705,51609981,2015-10-22,16636577,Jennifer,"Our stay here was great!  Central location, John left everything we would need and then some!  Snacks, bottled water, even postcards of historic Austin as a ""party favor"" :)  It was comfortable and perfect for 2 of us to share.  Communication was quick and clear, access was easy, etc...  I would Definitely stay here again!"
5438705,51740832,2015-10-24,19856765,Tom,"We spent two nights in Austin and could not have had a better place to stay. The location was perfect. Two blocks from 6th street, and within walking distance of the capital and university.  The apartment was clean and well stocked. If we had been there longer I would have loved to play some of his vinyl. I would recommend highly to anyone wanting an affordable, convenient, place to stay in Austin.   "
5438705,52070565,2015-10-26,43364462,Danielle,Host made us feel welcome. He was very accommodating. He answered any questions we had. Location was perfect. We could not have asked for a better spot. 
5438705,52816930,2015-11-02,36078593,Evan,"We stayed for seven nights, and everything was great. John was very helpful leading up to our trip with any questions and we felt very welcome once we arrived. Since we stayed for Halloween, the condo even had some decorations up. Perfect location for downtown. Overall, a great place to stay for a much better rate than all of the surrounding hotels."
7131398,40996053,2015-08-03,38981660,Laura,"Natalie and Kelsey were excellent hosts! I couldn't have picked a better place to stay for the week. They made me feel at home, checked in if I needed anything and provided a lovely room to stay in. All facilities were great, and user friendly. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood, lots of friendly people around & it's also super central to approximately 20 minutes. An Uber ride is also approximately $10, I caught that a few times. I've moved into permanent accommodation but I almost didn't want to leave!! Couldn't recommend their place more. Thank you!"
7131398,44690297,2015-08-28,40330559,Zachary,"Nice house, excellent location, and awesome hosts.  I would definitely stay here again if I needed a temporary place in Austin."
7131398,48786469,2015-09-28,19904724,Stu,"Great. Clean, quiet, privacy, beautiful neighborhood."
7131398,49833638,2015-10-06,44864638,Paige,"Natalie and Kelsey are the ultimate hosts! Their little gem is truly that! Well decorated, clean, light and within walking distance to Zilker Park. ""Our casa is tu casa"" is the vibe that comes to mind  in describing them as hosts. Nat gave great recommendations, when asked and engaged with us as much as we wanted, or as little. The dogs make you feel like you've just returned home: wagging, friendly, fur kids. Natalie and Kelsey are aware of their guests needs, and respect their privacy, while also sharing their home. 

Coffee each morning, clean fresh linens, roomy bathroom and a relaxing bedroom retreat. Tucked into a quiet, hidden little neighborhood, full of trees, and seeing an insurgency in revitalization.....you would be hard pressed to find a better, walkable, little pad with this much charm and charisma. Close enough, and yet just out of reach of busy La Mar Avenue.

My friend and I came for ACL (Austin City Limits) and had the time of our lives! What more could you want when visiting Austin, than an kitschy cool pad, equally laid back hosts, gorgeous walk to bars, restaurants within Barton Hills, and Zilker Park?!

Already planning the next trip back, and hoping our kick ass hosts find their way to Cali for some reciprocal hosting!"
7131398,52222240,2015-10-27,41899247,Kristie,"Both Natalie and Kelsey are wonderful. Very friendly and inviting. They both make you feel at home when you stay with them. 
I had something delivered to their house, which didn't go according to plan, and they couldn't have been more helpful to get the situation rectified. 
The dogs are great and energetic, I really enjoyed staying there, and would highly recommend staying with them."
7131398,52781838,2015-11-01,13613457,Daniel,"Both Natalie and Kelsey are the perfect hosts of a perfect place in a perfect location. They are extremely welcoming and laid back, their house truly is a little gem. I highly recommend staying with them when visiting Austin!"
8172318,47004517,2015-09-14,22176654,Bryan,"The duplex was exactly what we needed for a long weekend visiting grandchildren.  We didn't spend a lot of time there but the neighborhood was nice and even quiet on the weekend.
Brad was responsive to every request and met all our needs.
We would be happy to return on our next visit to Austin."
8172318,47852434,2015-09-21,43821194,Joseph,"Brad and Kelli were excellent hosts! Their duplex apartment was beautiful, fully furnished, and they graciously stocked it with coffee, tea, some breakfast items, and a couple of small bottles of wine, as well as towels and other essentials. Brad was very responsive each time that I sent him a message, and obviously put in a lot of work to ensure that our experience was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. At my request, he also gave me a detailed list of recommendations for vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in Austin. As described in the listing, the home is just across the street from a city bus stop that heads directly to downtown Austin, which made transportation extremely convenient for my partner and I. I highly recommend booking your next Airbnb experience in Austin with Brad, and definitely plan to book with him again next time we are in the area."
8172318,48599691,2015-09-27,36126711,Csaba,Brad's place is an excellent home to stay at while discovering Austin. It is very close to all locations you want to visit and experience in the city. Brad was very helpful providing local info about the restaurants and places to visit. He is very responsive. All in all it was a great experience for us.
8172318,49176952,2015-10-01,35703908,Rikki,"Brad was awesome. The place was very nice and clean and provided us with everything we needed. Very awesome location! We had the pleasure of bumping into Brad on our second day! What a great guy! Gave us amazing recommendations and was very attentive while checking on us to see if we needed anything! Looking forward to coming back and staying with them! 

Until next time! -Rikki and Evener"
4233217,21259106,2014-10-13,6867859,Eric,First off all I can say is that dan was insanely nice and helpful and secondly it was ACL weekend and we booked our stay last minute. But the room was pretty nice overall but had some small areas that needed obvious repairs and the photos lacked a proper description of the place.  
4233217,21559780,2014-10-19,9268527,Enrique,"The location of the apartment was very good, the owner left us use his parking permit,  the bed was very comfortable. On the other the apartment is old and the restroom  was pretty dirty.

"
4233217,22265693,2014-11-02,5644536,Brock,Dan was super helpful and made sure we had a nice stay. His place was comfortable and in a great location.
4233217,28079488,2015-03-17,6504843,Laura,"Dan was a very kind host. Prior to arriving in Austin, he checked in to make sure we'd have everything we needed during our stay. When we arrived, he was working, but had his girlfriend let us in and give us a parking pass. He had left us a bottle of wine, a nice chocolate bar, and a roll of quarters we used for laundry and parking meters. The place itself was very convenient to getting downtown and was close to a bunch of restaurants and stores. The pictures are a little bit misleading, but if you're looking for just a place to sleep at night, it's great."
4233217,28312786,2015-03-22,3406571,Justine,"Dan was such a great host! He was helpful and nice; met us up and checked us in to make sure that we are settled in his place and that we had everything we needed. His place was small, clean, comfortable, and perfect for two, since it is a studio apartment.  The neighborhood is quiet and was at the perfect location since we stayed for SXSW - close to everything!  Overall, our stay at Dan's was a great experience. "
4233217,28749512,2015-03-29,29544456,Derek,"We visited Austin for a weekend trip. Dan made us feel very welcome by giving us all of the things we needed for a great weekend stay. Everything was clean and in order and there were no glaring issues with the apartment. We were very pleased with the experience.

The apartment has a pretty good location for anyone who's looking to enjoy Austin for its culture and nightlife-- just a short trek from all of the hot spots. We were very happy with proximity of the place to everything Austin has to offer.

Dan was very nice and eager to make our stay feel as welcome and relaxed as possible. That was an added bonus to what was an awesome trip to the Texas capital. Thanks Dan for everything!"
4233217,29796593,2015-04-12,19562961,Samantha,Dan was a great host!  He was extremely accommodating!!!  We had a great stay.  His home was very comfortable and in a great location with easy access to Austin's hot spots!  
4233217,30259410,2015-04-19,17731527,Rebecca,"Dan was wonderful to work with. He responded quickly to our request, and immediately checked in to see if we had any special requests for our trip. He was also very responsive while we were in Austin. The apartment (studio) was located close to campus with a parking lot on site. It was clean, with clean towels and sheets and was the perfect size for two people. There are restaurants and bars within walking distance, which we enjoyed. "
4233217,30736345,2015-04-26,12768020,Kristin,"Dan was an excellent host - the best I've had so far on Airbnb. He had beers, wine and coffee waiting for us when we arrived. He was very attentive, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying at his place."
4233217,31831540,2015-05-10,29003699,Lucas,"Dan was a great host. He made us feel welcome right away by his hospitality; leaving snacks and drinks.  Any time we had a question he responded right away. His apartment was a walk away from restaurants and bars. To get to downtown was a bit farther, but there is a bike rental a few blocks that we used. Would probably rent again. Thanks again Dan."
4233217,32388086,2015-05-17,32213484,Samantha,Dan was super accommodating and flexible when it came to checking in and out. He made every effort to ensure we were able to access the room super early in the morning. The location was also super convenient! 
4233217,33001192,2015-05-24,12740375,Kristen,"Dan was very responsive to emails and messages, and met us on time and was flexible with his schedule. The room was wonderful and clean, and Dan even provided us with snacks and drinks.  Dan was a wonderful host and the place was conveniently located to Austin, UT and downtown. We would certainly stay there again if we are ever in town again."
4233217,33743722,2015-05-31,260212,Caitlin,"Great stay, great host, great location! Dan was incredibly responsive and very easy to communicate with; it didn't take long to get right into the apartment and out exploring the fun neighborhoods nearby. The studio may be small, but it doesn't feel that way thanks to the high ceiling and thoughtful layout-- It had everything we needed for our weekend visit, including comfy bed, working central A/C, and a bedside fan. Dan even left some beer and wine, and was quick to respond when we asked if he might have an iron somewhere we could use. We also used the parking sticker Dan provided to park in the apartment lot-- very safe and convenient! Thanks, Dan!"
4233217,34374308,2015-06-07,34789682,Andrew,Dan was super quick to respond and easy going. Made sure we had everything we needed and more! House was clean and really close to anywhere we wanted to go. Definitely will be back next time. Thanks Dan!
4233217,35049560,2015-06-14,1827193,Daniel,"The description here was accurate, and we loved Dan's home. He was very friendly, hospitable and made himself available for us though, this was not necessary for the duration of our stay since we were well accommodated. The home was very lovely and I LOVED the fact that there was a keyboard (and other musical instruments as well). The place is also very well decorated and very home-y."
4233217,35756712,2015-06-21,5945293,Jason,"Dan's place was great, nice and cool and very quiet. The location is also very tough to beat. Communication with Dan was very easy and his accommodation skills are top notch. This was a great find!"
4233217,37217282,2015-07-05,36165383,Emily,"Dan is a great host... and I could tell from meeting him that he is probably just as laid back as his place. It is very welcoming, well lit, and exactly as described and pictured in the listing.

The back of the complex is surrounded by trees so there's a pleasant view when coming in and out of the place, and no sounds of traffic you would have in a typical hotel!

I was really grateful that Dan was so flexible with the key pick up and drop off since we had early morning flights in and out. 

The bed and pillows were clean and comfy and the air conditioning was great. Dan communicated very well and even left us beer and wine, along with some bicycle rental coupons since he knew we wouldn't have a rental car! Dan's place was nearby everything we wanted to see... we walked and biked mostly, and took Uber to places like Rainey Street and Soco. The furthest we went was about 24 minutes away to hike to Sculpture Falls (which we highly recommend!) Great place, we would definitely stay again."
4233217,37908964,2015-07-11,19685605,Glenn,"Location-wise, this was a great fit for us. Dan had the place set up in a nice manner -- beer in the fridge, wine, an offer for free bike rentals. He was very responsive and considerate. The place was clean and there was plenty of parking. Plenty of instruments too!"
4233217,38943719,2015-07-19,37632669,Kelly,Dan's place was in the perfect location for us as we visited friends who actually lived across the street! Everything was clean and great. We loved it and definitely recommend Dan because he's a great host and very accommodating. 
4233217,40806047,2015-08-02,14614456,Zachary,Dan's place was the perfect location for our needs and was exactly as pictured.  His decor was very cool and eclectic (loved the Dali prints) and the natural light in the morning was great. We didn't get a chance to meet Dan due to our schedule but he was very open in his communication and was a great host.
4233217,41848162,2015-08-09,17943837,Tamara,Dan was a great host. He made himself available 24/7 and checked in on my stay through the weekend. The apartment was in a great location - quiet and peaceful area. Would stay there again!
4233217,44978167,2015-08-30,3882046,Seth,"Dan was a wonderful host. Easy communication, very friendly, and hospitable."
4233217,45971581,2015-09-07,39636008,Kaitlin,"Dan was very friendly and responsive to all my questions no matter what time of day. The apartment was nice and cool which was a big relief from the hot days. The location was fun - right near the university so lots of students walking around. Very cool to be in the middle of it! Overall, I had a great stay :)"
4233217,47669907,2015-09-21,6468231,Alycen,Dan was extremely welcoming when he gave us the key. He left beer and wine for us. His house rules and description were very helpful. I would stay here again. 
4233217,50433580,2015-10-12,26487478,Brandi,Great spot for an Austin trip! Lots of food within a couple of blocks. Dan was super easy to communicate with and was more than happy to answer our questions and give good recommendations. We were here for ACL and an uber to Zilker was only $8. So glad we got his spot for our trip! 
4233217,51113364,2015-10-18,15894071,Michele,"Dan was a great host, very responsive and accommodating of our schedule with arrival and departure times. He even left snacks and drinks out for us which was much appreciated! Staying on campus was fun and we found a cool place near by to rent electric bikes!"
4233217,51885417,2015-10-25,15639435,Angela,Dan was very accomodating! We had a late flight and he ensured we had a convenient meeting place for the key exchange. He also made the rainy weekend more comfortable with the bottle of wine left for us. 
3667392,21719251,2014-10-22,1774295,Allison,"I'd highly recommend this property. We loved the design and neighborhood. We walked to South Congress each day, which was great. Very close to downtown, you could definitely walk. I'd stay here again for sure!"
3667392,22122966,2014-10-30,14185419,Sam,"I had a great stay at the Orange door. Dani was incredibly welcoming and responsive, answering any questions I had and even offering to lend a bike through another renter! The house was perfect for a longer stay in Austin; perfectly clean, nicely decorated and the radio with pandora stations was a lovely touch. The neighborhood is very quiet, lots of young families and taking morning walks to explore the area and grabbing great coffee at Jo's on South Congress was a treat. I look forward to another stay!"
3667392,23911865,2014-12-14,24107785,Brandon,The property was exactly as shown in the images.  Great location in Austin - very close to great food and entertainment.  Would not hesitate to stay again our next trip!!
3667392,25449416,2015-01-16,3176284,Bruce,"The Duplex was well-maintained and relaxing.  It had a well equipped kitchen, nice living area, comfortable bed and clean bathroom.  Would enjoy staying there again. "
3667392,26003684,2015-02-01,21097670,Jane,"Orange Door was perfect! It was clean and cheery, and the owners thought of every last little need, right down to a coffee bean grinder. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you Dani!"
3667392,35742356,2015-06-21,29754945,Peter,Dani was wonderful to work with.  I look forward to staying at the residence in the future.  I recommend her with no hesitation.  
3667392,36132745,2015-06-25,11870162,Daniel,Great location and neighbourhood. I cannot deny that. 
3667392,38287815,2015-07-14,31443414,Rhiannon,"A clean space in a lovely neighborhood close to restaurants and shops.  The host was fast in replying to our concerns and there was everything we needed for our short stay right there (soap, bandaids etc). "
3667392,46271871,2015-09-09,35783773,Lisa,"Great experience staying at the Orange Door!  Before we arrived Dani emailed us detailed instructions about the property, which allowed for a smooth and comfortable stay from the minute we got to Austin.  Great location, clean, well stocked basic amenities.  Dani really put thought into what her guests would need while spending time in Austin and the Orange Door!"
3667392,49644495,2015-10-05,1915960,J. Allen,Myself and a friend came down to Austin for ACL. It was a tremendously busy weekend with travelers but prices here were quite reasonable. We had a terrific stay that was smooth as silk. Dani was a terrific host with prompt responsiveness and very helpful for whatever we needed. The check-in was easy and the stay was very comfortable.  The home was well-appointed and clean. It is just a short 10min walk to south congress where public transportation as well as rent-and-dropoff bicycles can be found.  Would love to stay here again!
3667392,51919319,2015-10-25,39828352,Lindsey,This is my second time staying at one of Dani's places and the experience is the same... Fantastic. Both beautiful houses that provides all the basics and more to make anyone feel at home. 
6330479,42953120,2015-08-16,40130563,Giovanni,The place is just great! Never met Jocelyn but she left me a paper with everything i need to know abot Austin. The room is great with your own bath and there's a bus stop near that can get you to downtown easily. Highly recomended!
6330479,43040311,2015-08-17,15902873,Soledad,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7562073,49641023,2015-10-05,42948142,Brian,"This house was beautiful with a lot of great features.  It was perfectly located for any ACL-goers.  Our group enjoyed the backyard area the most.  Having the plunge pool was clutch!  There was also a maid service that would come in each day to make the beds, clean the dishes, and take out the trash, which was a nice touch for an Airbnb stay.  Suzanne was extremely easy to communicate with and answered all my questions quickly.  I would definitely recommend staying at this house."
892618,3477379,2013-02-04,4885161,Amanda,"We were so pleased with our stay here! The house is great, eclectic, lots of room, & had a yard that was great for our 2 boys. The place was spotless and had everything we needed and was close to all our favorite spots in Austin. We definitely stay here again. Georgia was a great host. "
892618,3625398,2013-02-26,3482158,Katie,"Georgia was a fantastic and welcoming host.  Her house had a lot of fun character that the pictures can't even to justice to prove.  It was a perfect place to stay for a group of six (although could have fit more even!, very comfy couch).  The house was immaculately clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The private backyard was our favorite place to hang out though since we all love being outside and could be protected by the overhang on the deck in any weather.  Her place is a bit of a hike if you are going to downtown on foot but if you are traveling with a car then you would be a fool not to stay here.  Also it's very close to the airport. Georgia's house is an AMAZING deal for the price, almost too good to be true.  Thanks!"
892618,3780952,2013-03-14,4909118,Ignition,"Georgia was very accommodating from everything to accepting an extra guest last minute to staying up late to receive us (since we had a late flight). She was was able to give us tips to navigate the craziness of SXSW. Her house was beautiful and spacious, beds were extremely comfortable. We will definitely be seeing if Georgia's place is available for next years SXSW."
892618,3821812,2013-03-18,5186420,Jordan,"Georgia was a great hostess, she provided unexpected extras such as refreshments in the fridge, a pinball machine, and even a functioning grill with all the accessories!!! The house is well kept and very cozy, even better Georgia was friendly and her personality added all the more to our Austin experience. Highly Recommended!!!"
892618,3905139,2013-03-26,178813,Virginia,"Georgia was an incredible hostess! She left the house in impeccable shape and even put out some local wine, snacks, and little souvenirs. The house was even better than the photos and descriptions indicate. The beds were fluffy and comfortable and the kitchen was well-stocked with appliances and easy to use. We had gorgeous weather, so didn't make much use of the entertainment center, but the HD TV and incredible DVD collections were certainly tempting. 

For a group of six young women having a reunion, this house and location was absolutely perfect. We were just a few minutes from the airport and it was so easy to access South Congress and 6th Street. If we are ever back in Austin, we know where we will be staying! "
892618,4022005,2013-04-03,142563,Julie,"I'm hesitant to let anyone know how fantastic my 86 year old mother and I found Georgia's place since I want to go there again, and I want it to be available when I try and book it. From the outside it looks like a plain Jane house, but inside, it has been lovingly renovated and has fun, original and stylish decor with many vintage finds enlivening the atmosphere. (Great idea to upholster office chairs with vintage fabric and use them at a breakfast table!) The place has many little luxuries, like granite counter tops, a big flat screen TV, and a super shower head and it is spotlessly clean and well appointed. The linen closet with rolled towels and toiletries is a wonder to behold! There was white wine and frosty, chilled glasses in the fridge, red wine, chips and salsa on the sideboard, and a really nice, well appointed  kitchen that we enjoyed cooking breakfast in. There were all sorts of nice soaps, creams, and shampoos, even soap with a hole in it (to avoid leftover soap slivers) which I had never seen. Georgia thoughtfully included a hangover kit, which we were happy not to need, and polar fleece blankets on the backs of the outdoor chairs. When she heard that I was a light sleeper, she left off a sleep/ambient noise machine and extra earplugs. (There were some in the hangover kit, too.) She also came by to take a rental wheelchair we had dropped off inside. The beds were really good- newer pillow top mattresses with nice bedding. If you, like my elderly Mom, like hard beds, the twin bed in one room and the sofas are harder. If you are in a group, the living room doors close, so you actually could use this as a four bedroom. There are two sofas and a room with two beds, so this place would sleep 6 without sharing a bed or sleeping on the floor. I'm hoping to return and get a bunch of girlfriends to rent the house together. I would REALLY like to run away for home and live in this house, just the way it is, PERMANENTLY. Alas, I only had two nights in this wonderful place. I would at least like Georgia to come decorate MY house. The only downside is that there is traffic noise from a major highway about a block away. There are chickens and outdoor cats in the neighborhood as well. None of this should bother you because there is central AC and you can have the windows shut at night. I used the sleep/noise machine and slept beautifully and my Mom slept fine without it."
892618,4267928,2013-04-23,3904107,Amanda,"We could go on for days about how wonderful Georgia's place is.  The location is perfect and very close to everything!  It took us about 10 minutes (max) to get to South Congress and a hop, skip and a jump from IH -35. 

When we met Georgia to pick up the keys, it felt as if we were meeting an old friend.  The house has everything you could want and more. Plenty of room, all of the amenities and then some!  The covered patio was so relaxing and great to enjoy after a day of sightseeing and indulging in too much wonderful BBQ.  

Lets not forget the pinball machine! 

Thanks again Georgia for sharing your home!

892618,4357868,2013-04-30,4930249,Dan,"Some friends and I drove down to Austin for an amazing three day music festival (Austin Psych Fest), and we stayed at Georgia's house. It was more than we could have ever hoped for. On top of being a beautiful and well-cared-for home with all of the amenities anyone could possibly want, she also left us ample bedding and towels and toiletries, as well as some local beer and snacks, firewood for the pit in the backyard, a binder full of directions to her favorite local bars, and (my favorite), a hangover kit with Emergen-C, earplugs, and sAdvil. She is a sweet and wonderful woman, and she KNOW how to AirBNB! Highly recommended."
892618,4417459,2013-05-04,5573964,Jorge,"Great place to stay for our first time in Austin. We spent 3 nights at Georgia's. The house was comfortable, the kitchen had spices, oil, coffee maker, water filters, and more, and she left us some food to cook as well (thanks!). The house also had cable and two nice living rooms. It's conveniently located to downtown and the airport, and in a quiet neighborhood. Great price for a very clean and spacious place."
892618,4567067,2013-05-13,5479898,Julio,"This house is awesome! It's comfortable, has a unique style and the neighborhood is quiet. We were a big group in town for a friend's wedding and this house sufficiently accommodated all six of us. The house is packed with character and it feels nestled away from the city but we were only a few minutes from downtown. I would definitely stay here again! "
892618,4704514,2013-05-21,5479869,Nanci,"Georgia's house was perfect for my recent graduation trip to Austin. She made the stay easy, comfortable, and stress-free. She was such a gracious host, and we found all the thoughtful things that others have listed when we arrived (hangover kit, plenty of linens and towels, shampoo, toothbrushes, etc). She even started us off with some groceries when we arrived! Although she didn't have to, she stopped by half way through our trip and left toilet paper on our doorstep (so nice!). Georgia was so pleasant to talk to, and was excellent about communicating with me before arriving and during my stay, but gave us complete privacy while we were there. She supplied 4 house keys during our stay, which made it easy for our group to come and go as we needed.

The house itself was very comfortable. The three bedrooms each have their own unique feel, and it's easy to see how much careful attention has been given to each room. The master bedroom is attached to a 3/4 bathroom, and the other full bathroom is in the hallway. The couches in the living room and the doors to that room really do easily make that room a fourth bedroom. The kitchen has all the appliances you would need for cooking, if that's your thing. She has cable and wifi, and the A/C worked great (a must in Austin, especially if you're visiting during the summer). She also had a washer, dryer, detergent, and dryer sheets, which is awesome because no one likes to travel home with a bunch of dirty clothes. The backyard is very spacious, and she has comfortable outdoor furniture. There's also a very sweet kitten that hangs out around the house (but doesn't go inside)...I'm not going to lie, if I didn't already own so many pets, I probably would have adopted it.

The location is excellent. It's located in Southeast Austin, so it's a $12 cab ride from downtown, and easily accessible from 35 or 71. Because I had friends and family flying in for my graduation, I was at the airport 11 times in 7 days (no kidding), and I was able to get there in 5-10 minutes. If it hadn't been so close, I would have probably been miserable sitting in so much traffic. 

All in all, I HIGHLY recommend Georgia's house. The house, the location, and the host were all wonderful. Although I didn't get in early enough to need it, Georgia was flexible about the check-in time. When we checked out, I did ask if we could check out a little later than planned, and she was very sweet about it (which was very much appreciated). I honestly cannot say enough about my experience at Georgia's place. I definitely will be staying there again during future trips to Austin, and you should, too! Thank you, Georgia, for your hospitality, and for helping to make a potentially stressful trip stress-free!"
892618,4815199,2013-05-27,5194886,Ingy,"What an outstanding experience. Lovely house, lovely setting at the end of a dead end street. Quiet, peaceful. Easy to get to and close to major roads and freeways. Georgia has thought of everything. Well stocked bathrooms and even has stocked the kitchen with some essentials. We were in town for the joyous occasion of our son's wedding. The first night there we made our 2  sons, daughter-in-law, and guests dinner just like at home. Made our stay even more special. Definitely will stay here again when in Austin. There were 5 of us staying at the house. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Worked out so well."
892618,5041036,2013-06-09,1430068,Patrick,Perfect. Best air bnb yet. Super nice. 
892618,5229300,2013-06-19,6212506,Victor,"My wife and I were going to Austin to eat BBQ...3 friends rode up from Houston to join us- so we rented Georgia's house.
It was, in a word, awesome.
Georgia is a great hostess and has obviously put a great deal of time, thought, and effort into making this house what a traveler needs. It is indeed cool (temperature-wise and atmosphere) and has pretty much everything you might need for your stay.
When we return to Austin there will be no discussion on where to stay...This is it!"
892618,5482083,2013-07-02,5095882,Andrew,"We went from the UK to Austin for our son's wedding along with our daughter and three of his best friends, Georgia's house was the perfect place for us, she made us very welcome, with a bottle of wine and snacks awaiting us on the table. the house is lovely, very spacious and comfortable it was a real home from home, everything you could possibly want was there. We cannot praise this place enough as we had such a good holiday there, with a BBQ  out the back and a night of complete chill out with the wonderful collection of dvd's on offer. Many thanks to Georgia for this great place, we hope to come again soon.       "
892618,7462398,2013-09-21,5669320,Ethan,"If I could leave more stars, I would! Georgia was such a gracious hostess and even allowed us to stay an unplanned extra night due to extremely bad weather. She was also able to direct us to wonderful restaurants and bars in town.

The home is WONDERFUL. It is extremely clean and feels like a real home. We were tempted to just cuddle up on the couches and watch movies all week! The area is great. It's amazingly quiet but so centrally located so it is absolutely perfect for anyone who enjoys coming home to a quiet retreat after a day in Austin.

The beds are SUPER comfortable, the kitchen is fully stocked, and we cannot say enough great things about Georgia's rental. We can't wait to come back next year!

Ethan, Courtney, Hillary, and Susan"
892618,8063854,2013-10-14,8662123,Sina,"Georgia is a wonderful host with a beautiful house and thoughtful accommodations. Our ACL 2013 stay could not have been more pleasant given the location and rate, but finding local treats along with beverages waiting for us as we arrived definitely put the icing on. Thank you so much Georgia!  "
892618,8228715,2013-10-21,1548705,Darcy,"It was a pleasure to stay at Georgia's home.  I was the only one in our group who had used AirBNB in the past, and after the experience my other 3 friends are hooked.  Her home is lovely, well decorated, has everything you could possibly need, the beds are really comfortable, and it is really homey!!!  Georgia really has thought of everything!!  Close to downtown and it was relatively easy to get a cab to make our way to Rainey and 6th streets.  And, she left us the most amazing chips and salsa that made for a great late night snack!!!  You will not be disappointed if you choose to stay!!! :)"
892618,8404411,2013-10-29,5530406,Ronald,"Such a beautiful, clean and central spot to enjoy Austin. I stayed here with 6 other friends and we were very comfortable in the uniquely decorated home that Georgia has setup. Being only about 10-15 minutes from Downtown Austin and many other hot spots makes this home a great place to stay if you are here for an event or just exploring the city."
892618,8525687,2013-11-04,5333384,Lydia,"My friends and I stayed at this home for a wedding in Austin and were so impressed.  The house is extremely comfortable and easily fits 8 people.  It was very clean and well put together.  Georgia was very informative and responded quickly to any questions we had about the house and about Austin.  Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here.  I would also advise having a car, because while transportation is generally really good in Austin, bus stops are not particularly near this house."
892618,8993153,2013-12-01,2708363,Corina,"BIG PROS & SOME CONS

Pros:
- Excellent sweet touches like local food & drinks were in the house when we arrived.
- Lovely table set with linens. Lots of towels, detergent for laundry, blow dryer and even a hair straightener.
- Location is perfect access to S 1st and Congress, plus easy highway access to rest of Austin.
- Lots of great seating area. We were a couple with a baby and two friends, and we had plenty of lounging space.
- Georgia was extremely polite and friendly.

Cons: 
- We thought we had a working double oven, but found out on Thanksgiving day that the oven was turned off (there was a sign inside, but nothing on the outside, nor was it mentioned).
- We killed 4 cockroaches last week in various rooms. My husband was concerned about this, in part because we have a baby.
- We weren't told about how to get into the house until the day of our arrival; most hosts give directions ahead of time, and it was a bit stressful not to have them until last minute.
- This is more for guidance: the master bedroom was a lot colder than the other rooms, so select your rooms based on temperature preference."
892618,9215900,2013-12-14,10182165,Emily,"Loved the house, the location and Georgia was a peach! I will definitely go back."
892618,9294991,2013-12-19,9871154,Jillian,"Georiga was incredibly responsive in booking and with any follow up questions I had. Once I told her why we were coming into town she made several good recommendations to us in terms of places to go/sights to see. The home is clean, had ample towels, was spacious and in a great area of town. We had nine girls all stay for two nights and it didn't feel too crowded for us at all!"
892618,9380417,2013-12-25,9205967,Jeff,Georgia was a great host! She left us some treats and directions/info on local events.  The place fit all 8 of us very comfortably and the kitchen was perfect for our holiday cooking needs.  The location was perfect for getting into Austin and the other events we had planned.  All-in-all a great way to do a destination Christmas celebration.  Great amenities at the house and wonderful decorations.
892618,9610773,2014-01-03,1723364,Branson,"Georgia was a wonderful host.  We visited Austin for NYE, she had a table prepared on our arrival with Happy New Year, hat, poppers, champs, and horns.  Her place is perfect for a small group or a crowd.  There were six of us and with the three bedrooms no one had to worry about were to sleep.  Her space would accommodate more than six if needed.  The two bathrooms were super clean and wonderful.  We loved our stay and would stay with Georgia again."
892618,9827837,2014-01-13,880966,Mariel,"My friends and I had a lovely stay at Georgia's house. It is in a quiet neighborhood, and was a nice place to come home to after a full day of Austin activities. Georgia was very easy to communicate with, had clear house instructions, and had some fun suggestions for our quick vacation. Everything about the house was fantastic, from the super comfy beds, to the plentiful fresh linens, to the little details that made our stay so pleasurable. I would definitely stay at Georgia's again; thanks so much for hosting us!"
892618,9925434,2014-01-20,9947211,Helica,"Thank you so much Georgia. Booked your house for a birthday weekend and could not have asked for more. Not only was your home in a great location, it was comfortable and a pleasure to come back to after a day out. We had seven guests and plenty of room. Love the added touches, such as the chips, salsa and beer in the fridge. Nice finds in the home, board games, plenty of DVDs and bean bag game in the yard. We enjoyed the chickens that would frequent the yard and the cats that would hang out early in the morning while having your coffee on the patio. Look forward to renting from you again. Quiet neighborhood and again great location. Georgia is a great hostess and will recommend her home to others. "
892618,10077905,2014-01-29,9880627,Rebekah,"There were 5 adults and a baby in town for 5 nights during a particularly chilly time in Austin. That meant, not as much outdoor time as usual, but the house was the best possible alternative. 3 bedrooms meant a ton of privacy for everyone. 2 bathrooms was key. The master bedroom had a huuuuge closet that we stuck our pack and play in and voila, instant baby bedroom.
Comfy beds with a ton of extra blankets around which we totally used. There were a lot of pantry essentials already at the place and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, pans, etc. 
I think all of us would stay there again in a heartbeat. The location is really convenient too. Not smack dab in the middle of a million bars but so easy to get wherever needed."
892618,10153099,2014-02-03,892996,Nasreen,"Georgia's place was amazing! She made sure we had every possible thing we needed-even frozen beer mugs. 
Downtown was very close and easy access to I-35."
892618,10449092,2014-02-19,3904107,Amanda,"Another fabulous stay!  Love all of the new updates in two of the  bedrooms.  Thanks for making us feel at home once again!

892618,11504864,2014-04-06,9011039,Kelly,We had a really nice stay at Georgia's house.  The place was very clean and spacious.   The yard is nice and big.  We loved that it was at the end of a dead end street because it was very private.  The location was really good too it was super close to south congress where we went out to eat and saw a lot of live music. Georgia was very good at communicating with us.  She even rescued a stray cat that was injured that we saw near the house.  We were very happy with our stay and look forward to staying there again on our next Austin visit.
892618,11788755,2014-04-15,1579670,Susanna,"Georgia has created a wonderful home! Lots of really nice touches, and everything was clean and comfortable. It's on a nice, quiet cul-de-sac with chickens and kitties wandering in the yard! The wifi and everything else we used always worked well. When I was concerned about a very slight gas smell, Georgia came over right away to check it out. She explained that the fire dep't has checked it out twice and it's fine. 

Perks included: 
plush bathrobes
plenty of towels, and washcloths!
little airbnb gift bags, which included earplugs which were handy at the racetrack!
a lockbox for the key so all 6 of us could come and go as we pleased."

892618,22697269,2014-11-12,17459330,Jason,"Georgia's home was exactly what my friends and I were looking for. It was clean, had all the amenities we needed (laundry, parking, abundant kitchen appliances, ice cold beer mugs), 10min drive to Downtown and we always felt safe. Where else are you going to stay that has Corn Hole and a dang pinball game in the dining room? If you are going to be in Austin with a group of friends, you can not go wrong staying at Georgia's. "
892618,23340822,2014-11-29,22454815,Shawn,"The house was fantastic! Bigger than the pictures show, clean and well stocked. We really lacked for nothing while we were there. We would absolutely stay there again and would gladly recommend it to others. Georgia was quick to respond to any questions we had while we were there. "

892618,23941479,2014-12-15,14901186,Logan,"The place worked great for our group. It was pretty easy to catch Uber or Lyft to the downtown and other nightlife areas. Definitely a quiet, out-of-the-way area though."
892618,24282168,2014-12-24,24701423,Erin,"My family and I were looking for a comfortable place to stay that would provide the comforts of home while we were staying Austin for an extended period right up to xmas. This place turned out to be be a perfect fit for us! We had our three little girls with us (6,4,1). They loved the pinball game 
(fired it up early every morning!) , the wandering chickens and cats, the spacious backyard and the indoor toys (who knew?) The space was a perfect size for us and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet! 
Our host, Georgia was superb! She was understanding of our late arrival, she had a mini xmas tree setup in the livingroom, which made the place so much more homelike! Oh and she even left us a variety plate of xmas cookies and treats on the porch one evening!!! 
I cant say enough good things; clean linens, comfortable beds, washer/dryer available, netflix, even the couches were cozy!

We had a great time, Thank you Georgia!"
892618,24414199,2014-12-28,1710221,Garrett,"The house was perfect for our family during Christmas. Plenty of space, well equipped kitchen, great back yard with a fire pit and perfect location. My family and I had no complaints. "
892618,24711522,2015-01-02,22027787,T.J.,"Georgia's home was absolutely lovely. My three friends and I, all in our mid twenties, decided to go to Austin and this house was perfect. As it is on a dead end, we were nicely secluded and didn't have to worry about making too much noise. With that being said, we were only 10 minutes outside of Austin and an Uber pickup was never more than 3 minutes away. Georgia also supplied us with everything we could have needed, from board games to laundry detergent. If we were to head back to Austin, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
892618,25053982,2015-01-05,17075240,Heather,"This is a quiet little neighborhood that you can easily access from Ben White/71 highway, I35, or Oltorf, which makes it VERY convenient. It's a great spot for traffic dodging because you can use 183 North or Mopac to avoid I35 through middle of downtown if headed north. It's a prime location also for all of the fun stuff on the east side, South Congress, downtown, etc. There is also a great little breakfast taco joint within blocks. I really liked that the house is on a dead end street. There is a huge backyard and some great seating areas outside, as well as a chimenea and little fire pit! The kitchen is well stocked and there is a great little media room with comfy couches to sit and chill. Our family met up here from Dallas and South Padre to get together and we will definitely stay here again. It accommodates our big group perfectly and at a price we can actually afford. Plenty of plush linens too, and even robes!"
892618,25321002,2015-01-12,13711432,Kathleen,"Georgia's place was perfect for us!  After our long road trip, we were welcomed with a local bottle of wine waiting for us.

The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed for cooking-in, which we (website hidden) on a gas stove is always a treat when you don't have one.

So much better than staying in a hotel -- separate beds for all of the kids (4 teenagers!), a living room stocked with videos, cable and wireless and a washer and dryer.

892618,25647676,2015-01-21,13111511,Rakesh,We really enjoyed our stay at Georgia's home. Our kids loved the pinball machine. House is located within 10-15 minutes of all the downtown hot spots. Netflix and HBO is definitely a bonus...
892618,25720699,2015-01-24,21708033,Awnix,"As always, staying at Georgia's place was awesome!  We have stayed here twice and will continue to stay here whenever we are in town and it is available.  Awesome place."
892618,26061763,2015-02-02,25742443,Brian,"Not really much to say about our stay experience. It was 100% perfect. So much room, great location, couldn't ask for a better vibe. Felt like a kid again playing the pinball machine. Would rent from Georgia again in a heartbeat. She was quick to respond with any questions that I had. Wonderful experience. "
892618,26305336,2015-02-09,25612031,Allison,Georgia's house was perfect for our girls trip. Loved the quiet location. Even with a bit of traffic it didn't take more that 15 minutes to get to downtown. Convenient to use uber to get into town as well. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again! 
892618,26589987,2015-02-16,19201108,Maria,My group of friends and I had a great time at Georgia's. The louse was exactly as it is described online and everything was provided for us. Had nice personal touches here and there that made the stay very welcoming. The location was great-not too far from airport (10min) and not to far from downtown/rainey st (10-15min). Would stay here again!
892618,26988875,2015-02-23,26076749,Tamal,Georgia's home is a very nice place with plenty of space for a small group. We had 6 people sleep very comfortably. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to do a trip to Austin. We were only a 10 minute drive into downtown. It was also only about 5-10 minutes from the airport. The house is situated on the end of a cul-de-sac and thus is fairly private.
892618,27321955,2015-03-02,5628196,Brian,"Georgia was great along with the house. Georgia was very accommodating to our late arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. House was very clean and comfortable. Plenty of clean towels for everyone. We slept 5 adults very comfortably. Location is just a quick cab ride away to entertainment downtown. Great house that I will definitely look for again on our next visit.

Thank Again."

892618,29260123,2015-04-06,26167276,David,"Wonderful house, close to downtown Austin, South 1st street and South Congress.  Georgia was very helpful and understanding about our situation.

House was well stocked with amenities including shampoo, soap, coffee, condiments.  

Very comfortable."
892618,30158227,2015-04-18,92939,Mark,"Great house in Austin. The 3 bedrooms worked perfectly for our family. The pinball machine was tons of fun for our kids. Whole house is comfortable and has lots of character. The yard is pretty basic, but has a little covered back patio and a corn hole set. Living room has a big TV with HBO/Netflix plus some basic channels. The house is at the end of its road, very quiet other than some freeway noise when you're outside. Nothing really within easy walking distance unfortunately (other than a breakfast taco place we didn't get a chance to try), but a relatively quick drive to South Congress, downtown, etc.

Georgia was a perfect host. Very responsive to a couple minor issues and it's clear she's got a ton of style and takes pride in the house. She had some mints out in the bedroom and other little touches that made us feel welcome. Highly recommended!

"
892618,30438596,2015-04-22,24517505,Jessica,"Georgia was an excellent host!  The house was as described.  We had six people staying at the property and we all had plenty of room and were very comfortable.  We loved the little accents and had a great time playing pin ball!  Georgia was very easy to get a hold of and was extremely accommodating.  The home was centrally located to downtown, shopping and the airport.  I absolutely recommend this property and will book again when traveling to Austin!  Thanks again, Georgia! "
892618,30857318,2015-04-28,25003792,Ernest,"Very accurately described, warm, comfortable home in a safe, quiet neighborhood just minutes from everything. Hostess was attentive and has her home and the welcoming process down to a science. She put codes to internet and TV channels spelled out on the entertainment center (50 inch Samsung TV!) for easy access. She even has over 100 DVD's to select from. We watched 2 over our weekend. The decoration is fun, creative, and colorful. The kitchen is fully stocked and clean. Rooms are comfortable; we felt at home the very first night. The back yard is great with useable lawn furniture and space to wander."
892618,31932098,2015-05-12,1547636,Merissa,Perfect house for our festival weekend. Great layout for our group. Comfortable beds. Very clean and lots of supplies. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Georgia was quick to respond to any of our needs. Thanks so much! Hoping to stay again next time I am in town. 
892618,32679016,2015-05-20,386084,Barbara,"This house is AMAZING! clean, beautifully decorated, close to everything. Easy to airport, easy into town. It's a dead end street so pretty easy parking. (Although there is a driveway.) We even saw 2 deer sitting on someone's lawn when we came home! What a great site to see! All rooms had comfy beds and bedding, showers worked great! We were 5 ladies enjoying the house one night for a game of charades. A/C strong, kitchen well equipped. Please rent here!"
892618,33775588,2015-06-01,28347856,Heather,Great house that's close to everything! It was a great weekend!
892618,34620415,2015-06-10,25409976,Jim,"Georgia has managed to create a space that appealed to every member of our family when we stayed for a week in June. Every amenity my wife and I expected to find was waiting for us...and more. The interior design of each room is unique and inviting. The neighborhood is quiet, charming, and convenient. Maybe most importantly for us, we were able to let our two kids under 6 yrs roam the house without fear of damaging anything. They slept soundly in the room with two beds at one end of the house while the adults socialized in the cozy living area. The central air and fans always kept us cool when we came in from the heat. When we visit family in Austin again, it's nice to know Georgia's place is waiting for us."
892618,35059864,2015-06-15,22506076,Lana,"The house was wonderful- it was exactly as presented on the website. We really enjoyed the little welcome baskets that Georgia took time to put together- it was a very nice touch. We liked that the house was located in a somewhat secluded area, so that we had some privacy. Overall, it was a great experience and I would stay there again."
892618,37029278,2015-07-04,24051212,Laura,"Georgia was a great communicator; we “talked” via text – she always responded promptly, which is something I really appreciate it.   Checking in to the house was simple.  Everything there was as described – maybe even better: my 9-year old son loved being able to pick fresh peaches off the tree and I was totally charmed by the neighbor’s chickens taking their morning stroll across Georgia’s lawn.  The beds were very comfortable (nice sheets and pillows, too) and water pressure in the shower was great.  The whole house was clean.  The kitchen had everything I needed to use during my weeklong stay – all of the kitchen appliances are new/relatively new and in great shape (stove/oven, microwave, toaster-oven, blender, and dishwasher).  Very convenient location - the house is an easy drive to almost everything in Austin.  We liked the house so much, that we hope to stay there again next year.  "
892618,37651912,2015-07-09,22151036,Meg,"We had a great experience at Georgia's house. It is a fantastic place – everything you could want and with an artsy vibe. She was very accommodating about a late check out, and gave us great tips about local events."
892618,38113518,2015-07-13,31682564,William,This was my first time using Air BnB and I could not have asked for a better experience! Georgia was great and the house was amazing - there was more room than I expected from the pictures! It was in a good location and the kitchen and bathrooms were stalked with all the essentials. Would highly recommend this place! 
892618,38987478,2015-07-20,29996221,Hannah,I felt very welcome! It was such a big house and accommodated us very well. Everyone loved it and the location is perfect! 
892618,39656301,2015-07-25,37085250,Kim,"Great clean, spacious, quiet home with a great location to get to anything. My family especially loved the pinball machine. The photos posted are exactly what you get. "
892618,39946249,2015-07-27,17507684,Richard,"This place was fun for us. Everything we needed was there. The check in and check out was smooth. The house is on a quiet street. The pinball machine was in constant use. There are board games provided which was nice. The living room was relaxing and comfortable. The backyard is chill and even has a fire pit. Georgia was helpful, understanding and responsive.

I would recommend this place for its comfort and value. "
892618,41732575,2015-08-09,10618409,Yannick,The house is quiet and well located. There is everything you need and even a small bbq to enjoy fully the garden. Thank you Georgia for your hospitality.
892618,43031849,2015-08-17,27549358,Drew,"Several friends and I stayed at Georgia's place for a 30th birthday weekend in Austin.

The house was roomy, comfortable and convenient to downtown Austin. Georgia left plenty of tourist information, including coupons, restaurant suggestions and tips on finding free parking. It was so helpful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Georgia was an excellent, responsive host."
892618,44216101,2015-08-24,41169419,Noah,"The house was perfect for us and had everything we needed for a terrific weekend in Austin
It was very spacious, clean, and had great sleeping arrangements
Georgia was a wonderful host, leaving mints by our bedside and a guide book in the living roon
Not only did it contain a list of restaurants and activites to do around the area but it also included a free Uber and Lyft ride

The neighborhood was nice as well and very convenient 
We were walking distance to gas stations, convenience stores and a delicious little BBQ spot
The house was around a 10-15min drive from all of Austin's hot spots
I highly reccommend this place and would love to get back there soon"
892618,45079689,2015-08-31,13677697,Carole,"We had a family gathering in Austin, and Georgia's home was perfect for the occasion.  The house is spacious and well-furnished with large bedrooms and updated bathrooms.  Many cool and/or funky decorative elements which I really enjoyed - it felt like a real home.  We cooked in for most meals, and the kitchen had everything we needed for that purpose.  The neighborhood is nice and quiet with excellent proximity to the South Congress area as well as the airport.  We didn't use the grill or back patio only because it was too warm outside (from our perspective), but these amenities would be fantastic in cooler weather.   If and when we return for a similar occasion, we'd definitely stay here again."
892618,46114507,2015-09-08,1201452,Keenan,Georgia was a great and gracious host.  The house was as promised and in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac.  This was the perfect place after a long day of doing Austin.  The beds were comfortable and Georgia is thoughtful and provides many comforts of home.  Would consider this place first when visiting Austin again. 
892618,47961976,2015-09-22,159559,Christian,"House was as described. Perfect location, we were less than 15 minutes from COTA, the airport and downtown Austin. It's a quiet neighbourhood. Georgia was terrific in answering our questions and trying to help whenever she could. House included everything and was very well equipped (towels, dishes, etc.). The beds were really comfortable.

Dishwasher was not working. We were not cooking meals at the house so that was less a concern for us. Also, the AC is pretty loud when it's working.

All in all, a very nice base for Austin that you can call home for a short stay. Thanks Georgia."
892618,48727912,2015-09-28,40976271,Tina,"The house was quite pleasant, clean, accommodating, and perfect for the 6 of us.  Georgia was very responsive, and my dealings with her were friendly and positive.  I especially loved the proximity of the house to the airport as I made several trips to pick-up and drop-off my friends. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
892618,50446827,2015-10-12,29594447,Benjamin,"Had a great time staying here. The house was exactly what we needed for the weekend, and Georgia was very accommodating. I would highly recommend this location to anyone interested in having a little getaway weekend in Austin.  "
892618,52282899,2015-10-27,1206234,Dan Gøran,"We immediately felt welcome and at home. Everything was prepared for us. Wifi password, towels, tp, filtered water and small surprises like mints and ear plugs."
7171128,39110103,2015-07-20,37360849,Jimena,"We visited Austin, having just moved away a few months ago. We lived in the area and had no idea this little 'trailer park' existed. Its nestled right on South Congress with walkable access to just about anything. The location is really awesome. 

Miles was very nice and welcoming, asking if we needed anything anytime he saw us. 

The Airstream was much rommier than we expected. Very clean! The little trailer park itself had a nice little set up too, with a shared courtyard, strung with lights and plenty of seating. There was also a little outdoor cove type place where you could hang out and watch TV and drink beer, which was provided for free-bonus! 

Would absolutely stay there again! 

Thanks Miles!"
7171128,39882894,2015-07-26,39132749,John,The photos on the website does not even compare to how amazing this place was. I was completely blown away by the set up Miles has put together. This is the place to be and Miles couldn't have been a better host. I will definitely be coming back and telling all my friends and family about this one. So cool!
7171128,40056805,2015-07-27,39299217,Chris,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7171128,40061502,2015-07-27,3269641,Neil,"Miles was an excellent host. The trailer was really nice, and the location could not be better. I highly recommend staying here!"
7171128,41500346,2015-08-07,1272671,Susanna,Staying at the Oasis was amazing! It was the perfect location for my friends and I to enjoy South Austin. Miles was super helpful and generous with the space. 
7171128,45629891,2015-09-04,16913402,Amy,"Miles was an excellent host and was very generous and inclusive with suggestions of things to do while I was in town. The location couldn't have been more perfect. The airstream I stayed-in was clean, functional, cute, and exactly what I was looking for. The entire ""trailer park"" outdoor space was incredibly charming and one of the most unique places I've been. I will definitely plan to stay at Miles' trailer park when I visit Austin again. "
7171128,46406203,2015-09-10,7360319,Lindsey,Great experience at a great location. Miles couldn't have been more accommodating and the trailer was fantastic! My husband and I will be staying here again for sure! 
7171128,47372238,2015-09-18,23712592,Thomas,Amazing location and amazing setting for the trailer. Everything was walk able SOCO and downtown. The trailer was clean and neat. Would defiantly recommend and will certainly be returning. Number one in our books. 
7171128,48003282,2015-09-22,42229778,Steven,"First off, Miles was awesome. He happened to be in the parking lot when I rolled up and he greeted me warmly and offered me a beer. I got to chat with him a few times during my way too breif stay and he was laid back, friendly and helpful...he offered several suggestions for good food and entertainment. Now the airstream and the ""trailer park""... This might be the coolest place I've very seen. Right in the heart of SoCo, 200 feet off of South Congress, it's like you're in a jungle. The photos on his post don't do it justice. It's a trailer so it's not immense but it sure is cushy and has all I could asked for...very comfy bed, kurig machine, more than adequate  shower and a supercool furry moo cow couch.  5 stars miles...next time I hit aAustin I'll be in touch and I'll definitely stay longer"
7171128,48367876,2015-09-25,44784854,Alex,"It was amazing! So cute and tucked away, you'd never know you were right in the heart of Austin! You can walk to lots of awesome places or just hang out in the amazing hotrailers! I loved it! "
7171128,48472697,2015-09-26,44695404,Dinah Jean,"We enjoyed our short stay in this beautiful and secluded ""trailer park."" Miles was a great host and made our stay easy and comfortable. The location could not be better- a few minutes walk to downtown and a few minutes walk to all of the great places on South Congress. There are also bicycles available to use, a TV room, and plenty of outdoor seating. We will definitely stay again. The airstream was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. "
7171128,49170106,2015-10-01,43099347,John,My girlfriend and I had a great time staying in Miles' airstream. The location couldn't be more perfect. We easily walked to all of the boutiques on South Congress as well as downtown. Came back to cold beer on tap and a great open area to relax. Miles was very accommodating.
7171128,50115326,2015-10-09,23989423,Nigel,"Miles is a fantastic host! There was a technical glitch in the reservation system which prevented us from staying on the first of three nights. Miles promptly got in touch to report this and had already resolved the issue by booking a room for myself and my guests at a fabulous hotel downtown. I had to travel back to the West Coast the following day, but the rest of the party loved the venue: clean, antique air stream trailers set in a big garden-like backyard, just minutes from downtown. Highly recommended!"
7171128,51718868,2015-10-24,31622292,Evan,Miles and Liz were great hosts! Very comfortable trailer and a great oasis within walking distance to all of the downtown Austin attractions. Great local beers on tap and delicious White Hat Rum. I will definitely stay again!
5631693,28287542,2015-03-21,287858,Dana,"This apartment is terrific! We were so happy with it. It is clean, comfortable and geographically convenient. It has a very Pinterest-feel to it.  Highly recommended! "
8742546,50398095,2015-10-11,43718144,Vi,Just as pictured. Very cute! Liz was very nice and welcoming. Location was perfect for ACL with a convenient store next door. A short walk to Barton and Zilker. 
4012020,28476170,2015-03-24,7813427,Adam,"Laraine has a beautiful, clean house in a very nice quiet neighborhood.  We spent the week there and were very comfortable.  The kitchen is really big and there was comfortable sleeping arrangements for all of us.  I would definitely recommend her home, she was an excellent host.  "
4012020,29625472,2015-04-10,19124616,Kristi,We had a lovely time. The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood and the house was large and clean. Laraine was a great host who even helped us by getting a pack n play for our youngest to sleep safely in.
4012020,31523707,2015-05-06,7636325,Bixler,"Laraine was very helpful and thoughtful from the time I inquired about this place. Yes, the description is accurate as listed. The neighborhood is safe and has access to great amenities. Highly recommended. "
4012020,32113938,2015-05-14,29430044,Bobbie,"Laraine's property is charming - very  attractive and very comfortable. It's also very quiet and peaceful. 

Sadly we did not meet but it's clear that Laraine herself is also charming and very friendly, judging by the emails we exchanged!

I would highly recommend staying in her house."
4012020,33766152,2015-06-01,25647959,Emilia,"We had a wonderful time at this comfortable house. Larraine's instructions were clear and sufficient. We felt welcome since our arrival. 
Beautiful neighborhood. The house is spacious and full of light. 
Thanks.
"
8456152,49542275,2015-10-04,34943917,Sean,"Viki and Brent were fantastic hosts and were very knowledgeable of the area, and even offered to give us a ride to the train station nearby. They were prompt in asking for our arrival time as to be available when we arrived. Apartment was cozy, clean, fresh, and exactly as described. The 4 little ones were quite welcoming as well. Would definitely stay here again! Thank you both!"
8456152,51969991,2015-10-25,46182494,Michael,"We stayed at the Brentwood house for a weekend for a friends wedding in Austin.  The location of the house was perfect as it was close to the venue and close to all of the great restaurants off of Burnet Street.

The garage apartment was very nice and was exactly as advertised.  Upon arrival, Viki and the dogs great us and was extremely helpful and provide some great advice on the local establishments.  The dogs were great and were very friendly!  Overall, we had a great experience and would consider staying there again on our next trip to Austin. "
8456152,52651190,2015-10-31,8858728,Sarah,Viki was an excellent host. She greeted us when we arrived and made sure our stay was  worry free. The apartment was clean and had a cute modern feel. We will definitely stay again!
8456152,52808023,2015-11-01,21062736,Jenny,"Great place to stay, thanks! "
5426241,28176545,2015-03-19,5331467,Omar,"Decent host and a lovely apartment in a nice spot of town. Close to the centre but far enough out to have peace and quiet with some decent neighborhood places to eat, drink and shop.

Matt was an attentive host and on hand for any questions during the stay. Worth a visit "
5426241,28421358,2015-03-23,21740944,Floyd,"We loved Matthews place, it was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Perfect location, close to all the SXSW festivities. He was very accommodating and very informative. He even took the time to make the couch into a bed, which was awesome for our friends.  We would love to book this location when we return! Thanks again, Matthew!"
5426241,29122033,2015-04-04,2207625,Douglas,"I stayed at Matthew's place for a week, and was very pleased with mt choice.

Everything was as listed, and it was very clean and comfortable.
The laundry facilities were very useful, as was the parking pass, as parking can be at a premium in that locale.
Just be sure to display your parking pass at all times, or you will be towed!

Matthew was there to meet me upon arrival, and left me some good information for the city, which was very helpful.

I had a couple of days by the pool, which was surprisingly quiet considering it's on the road-side of the building. Nice for cooling off in the afternoon.

It's about a 10 minute walk along 6th Street to all the bars, which is close enough for convenience, without being so close that there are any adverse effects. So perfect location, really.

All in all, a great choice, and I'd be happy to stay again.

Thanks Matthew"
5426241,29986329,2015-04-15,18259411,Philip,"The name of this apartment listing is a perfect description for this place - it really is a dream location! It's super close to all the chaotic action on Sixth Street, or if you're looking for a more mellow time strolling down to the river or hanging out on SoCo they're also really accessible. Basically, if you're looking for affordable and brilliantly situated accommodation to really get to know the highlights of Austin, you'd struggle to find a better place than this. It's also very comfortable, clean, and all mod cons are present and correct.

Matthew was also a very accommodating and thoughtful host. I particularly appreciated how he changed the display settings on the AirCon to Centigrade for the benefit of us Fahrenheit-illiterate Brits! He left really detailed info on local amenities and was very flexible about our arrival and departure times, which was greatly appreciated."
5426241,30328609,2015-04-20,8875452,Eduardo,Matthew was very nice and went over everything in the apartment. I would stay here again.
5426241,30892527,2015-04-28,30707762,Johnny,Matthew was very responsive to all my questions and the Apartment was as described.  We really enjoyed our stay in Austin and this was a great location!
5426241,31329181,2015-05-04,29707564,Amy,Great space and great location! Only about a 15 minute walk down sixth to all the great bars!
5426241,32988751,2015-05-24,30314780,Jj,Place was as described and the host was extremely responsive throughout the entire stay. Would do biz with Mathew again!
5426241,47876440,2015-09-21,9543542,Kenneth,"Matthew was great! Easy to work with, quick to respond on questions, and was accommodating to my check-in/check-out times. The condo was very clean. We had 4 people and while we didn't spend much time in the condo, we weren't crowded. We had 2 cars and Matthew tried to get us a 2nd parking pass, but he wasn't able to so one of us had to park a couple blocks away. Clarksville is a safe neighborhood so I wasn't worried about parking in the street. I would rent this place again if I needed a place close to downtown.  "
5426241,48817626,2015-09-28,4821710,Chimaobi,"Great great location! Matt was helpful in getting situated and was helpful with suggestions. The only issue I had was that I saw a number of roaches; this was probably due to poor pest control in the area. Overall, I had a good stay."
5426241,49586145,2015-10-05,13094219,Jaclyn,"Matthew was a great host. He met me at my cab upon my arrival and made the check in and out process easy. Even prior to my arrival, he made sure my guest and I had access to both beds. Both of which were really comfortable. Apartment was exactly as pictured and we'd gladly stay here again. "
5426241,50614621,2015-10-13,33533406,Brittney,"Matthew was extremely relaxed and accommodating. He made sure the apartment was clean and prepared, and we felt comfortable contacting him at any time if we needed anything. We came for a weekend during ACL, and it seemed like several other apartments had been rented out for the weekend. Lots of people were out and about at night, which was fun for us. "

5124034,27976380,2015-03-15,5154370,Robert,The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Its close to downtown where all the action is. I walked most of the time. That house is nice. Kristin has made it very homie and comfortable. I really enjoyed my time there. She made everything very easy. Everything was clean and tidy. I would recommend to anyone and will try to stay again next time I'm in Austin. Hopefully it will be available.  
5124034,30271685,2015-04-19,16045660,Emily,"Kristin did a great job of making us feel welcome. She accomodated our late request (as someone else had canceled on the very last minute), gave us great recommendations of places to go, and even invited us to a BBQ when she learned a friend of hers went to the same university as I did. The place was comfortable, clean and in a great area. Highly recommend. "
5124034,30836419,2015-04-27,31618617,Susan,"The bed was extremely comfortable, and the combination of the room air conditioner and the ceiling fan made the bedroom nice and cool. The location is terrific, and the house has the charm of one of Austin's older dwellings. Guests wishing to cook an early breakfast should talk with Kristin about making arrangements."
280457,2327375,2012-09-17,2183195,Jimmy,"I did a boys weekend with two old college buddies. We really enjoyed the place - and it was very close to all the activities on South Congress. I would definitely recommend the place. 
"
280457,3245742,2013-01-03,1951905,Kortney,"Wonderful, cozy property that is well managed by kind folks. Everything you need is within walking distance, and the bikes are a great idea (though it was too cold the days we were visiting). Thanks Leslie, BJ, and Star for making our visit memorable. "
280457,5329667,2013-06-24,1413146,Nicole,"The house was the perfect size for 2 couples to share and absolutely adorable! Well decorate and clean, and the king size bed was super comfortable. Walking distance to tons of bars/restaurants in South congress and overall great neighborhood. Loved it and want to go back with a group of several people and rent all 4 homes at once (there are 4 homes on the compound so would be cool to do with a group)"
280457,6940583,2013-08-31,7838181,Malu,"The home that I stayed in at Bj's Verde Camp was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The grounds are well taken care of - green grass, plants and big trees around the property. Drake avenue is a quiet street with friendly, helpful neighbors, a nice short walk away from south congress, and overall perfect location for enjoying East Austin, downtown, Barton Springs...Bj is a friendly, relaxed host who is quick to help you book and available to help or simply say hello during your stay. "
280457,7294479,2013-09-14,2936218,Chrisy,"Bj's place is cute, quaint, and in an absolutely fabulous location! It's within walking distance of everything you'd want to see or do on Congress. We walked to South Congress Cafe for breakfast one morning and Perla's for lunch with our (website hidden) was able to accommodated us on short notice, too! He responded quickly and took care of all our needs. I would definitely recommend his place for a larger group. There are several other homes to stay in on the lot, Verde Camp, which seems like a perfect set up for a family or college reunion. Also, his home is within walking distance of downtown. I ran to the trails on Lake Bird Lake which is just shy of downtown, it was about a mile run, so certainly within walking distance. Great way to see the city as well! "
280457,8251476,2013-10-22,5091452,Joann,The location is absolutely the best.  The home is very well cared for and the setting is peaceful and full of character.  The host are very friendly and attentive.   I plan on having this be my new Austin spot to stay.
280457,48581419,2015-09-27,986488,Liza,"This place was awesome! Great location, easy access to so much of what makes Austin great. Will definitely be a repeat!!!!
Thanks BJ!"

clean & well organized.
email interaction w/ Jordan was very precise & clear. Thanks."

5447456,41042901,2015-08-03,14071137,Oli,"The house was as described an Jordan was very quick to respond as we booked with a day's notice. It was a little uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa as there were four of us but the apartment was spacious. He was generous with his space, but the location was a little out of the way. Thanks for the stay"
5447456,51866135,2015-10-24,8798045,Trevor,"Jordan was extremely flexible and really went out of his way to make this work for me. I booked the place super late and he was flexible enough to get it ready by when I arrived (1am!). His apartment worked well for stay. It's a large 1 bedroom. The downstairs area would work really well for entertaining, with quite a bit of couch space and a gigantic TV. The room upstairs worked great for me (1 person), but pay attention to the bed sizes if you're a couple. The place does have a little bit of a lived in feel to it, but for the price it can't be beat. Also, it's in a great location. I enjoy the northern Burnet area quite a lot: there are some good restaurants / beer bars and a 24 hour cafe."
5447456,52264101,2015-10-27,46177812,Yogi,"We had a great trip to Austin, Jordan was a wonderful host, he took care of a lot of little things to make our stay comfortable. I'd highly recommend. Thank you, Jordan!"
5446024,27739622,2015-03-10,27891154,Marilyn,"Rohan was a gracious host showing me the accommodations and the common areas. The house is modern and very clean, not to mention two beautiful blooming trees in the front yard. Although the room was sparsely furniture, it was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and there was a nice window looking over the back yard.  I recommend Rohan and his house to you."
5446024,28026906,2015-03-16,27870547,Bran,"Rohan provided a great host experience, he welcomed me when I arrived and gave me all needed info on amenities and the area. 
The room itself was very nice, good house in a nice quiet neighborhood, but still very accessible to highway. The bed was nice and comfortable, excellent linens and towels, everything very clean.  
Great experience!"
5446024,28340536,2015-03-22,27904213,Nina,"Rohan's home is impeccably tidy and he is a wonderful, accommodating host who is not intrusive. My partner and I were able to sleep comfortably and maintain our privacy throughout our stay. "
5446024,29708739,2015-04-11,13650103,Taly,beautiful house and very comfortable bed. I recommend it.

5446024,33188707,2015-05-25,33684124,Gabby,"Rohan was really welcoming. everything was clean and organized. Kitchen and bathrooms were clean. Rohan  was always available through text messages. Nice neighborhood, I would stay here again"

5446024,34604953,2015-06-09,35011865,Jessica,"Rohan was very nice and relaxed.  He was kind and easy to talk to.  His house was large and provided much backyard space for our dog to run around in.  His dog, Bobby, was fun and happy and got along well with our dog.
The neighborhood was nice and quiet.  I would defiantly recommend staying here."
5446024,36313729,2015-06-27,35336888,Nadir,"Rohan was a very great host. Very clean and comfortable home, and he was prompt whenever I needed anything. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a quiet, clean, spacious, and comfortable place to lodge. "

938171,10924288,2014-03-13,7987008,Gina,"The house was great - very clean and neat, and very quiet. Since it's at the end of the street, it felt very private. It was well stocked with all of the towels, blankets, kitchen utensils and dishes we needed. Molly went way out of her way to provide us with a list of grocery stores, restaurants and bike rentals in the area. She was a super hostess! We even accidentally lost one of her house keys and she didn't complain at all. Thanks, Molly! -Laura

First of all the house is adorable! So many beautiful, unique and thoughtful details everywhere you look. The piano was from the 1860's and there is a beautiful old record player and full collection for you to play. It was truly a pleasure staying in this precious home. Molly went out of her way to provide the most detailed instructions on how to get around Austin. Everything we could possible ask for was provided well in advance. She answered our questions before we even had any! Thank you so much for opening your home to us. We had an amazing experience in Austin and a lot of that was thanks to this place. It's a trip we wont forget. - Christie
"
938171,26954871,2015-02-22,3606028,Brian,"Molly's house was a great place for our weekend.  Molly was very helpful with suggestions for us while we were planning our trip, and available if needed over our stay.  The house was great - clean and comfortable, with a very relaxing atmosphere.  I'd highly recommend staying at molly's house for your trip to austin."
1801078,21246604,2014-10-13,21999595,Lacey,"Beautiful home in Travis Heights! We were greeted with both a bottle of champagne and the freshest coffee we've ever had for the mornings. I stayed here with 2 of my friends over ACL weekend and it was a perfect location. The home is about 3-minutes from South Congress and 6 minutes from Zilker Park. 

The backyard is FANTASTIC, and easily my favorite part of the house. There is a porch out front and in the back of the home. Both have been beautifully landscaped, and are perfect for enjoying the Austin weather during the crisp evenings and mornings.

The host, Kay, was very gracious. She gave us a list of her favorite restaurants and shopping in the area, all of which were very helpful. She is truly a gem, and really helped make our stay memorable. Thank you, Kay!"
1801078,28166767,2015-03-19,22845704,Manju,Kay is a wonderful lady. She always went above and beyond when I asked for a help. She did everything she can do to make our stay comfortable. The house was very clean and cozy and it's located in a very quiet neighborhood. She deserves 5 stars. Highly recommended to anyone.
5537620,27454928,2015-03-04,215755,Aaron,"Zekes house was great. He was quick to respond, easy to get along with, the house was clean and recently remodeled, and he went the extra mile by telling me all the best things about his neighborhood. I'm actually from Austin and didn't know alot of the spots he told me about. Thanks Zeke. Stay here if you get the chance. "
5537620,27488152,2015-03-05,10997328,Roze,"This stay, though short, was really great!  Zeke was a very welcoming host,  and offering the use of a bike was a great addition.   There is a trail near there to bike on if you just want to go for a ride- but it's great to have use of a bike to get around too.     The house itself was very comfortable and had all the amenities I needed to feel almost like I was at my own home.  Zeke shared with me some great things about the neighborhood, and staying here made me feel like a local!"
5537620,33402343,2015-05-27,19414191,Paul,"Four of us --2 couples -- stayed several days.  It worked well for us, since there are separate bedrooms and baths.  The interior is comfortable and nicely furnished.  The area is quiet and there is a large yard -- although it was mostly flooded during our stay due to heavy rains.  The main negative is that both exterior doors are very, very hard to operate.  Part of this, but by no means all, was due to wet weather.  It was nearly impossible to lock the rear deadbolt.  

Zeke seems nice (we didn't meet him in person) but he needs to upgrade his hosting skills.  Here are some tips:

*Don't leave your alarm (and backup) alarm set;
*Don't leave dirty dishes in the dishwasher;
*Don't leave the deck strewn with trash;
*Don't advertise parking in the driveway, then leave a dead car there that you have no keys for.  (We parked in the front yard with Zeke's permission.)
*DO leave directions for the electronic thermostat;
*If the TV is usable only with a computer, DO leave instructions; 
*DO leave instructions for where to put trash and recycling.  
"
70825,201430,2011-03-17,396474,Matt,"This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our needs. A short drive (or a long but definitely doable walk) to downtown, and only a couple blocks away from all kinds of good stuff on South Congress.

Tamara is a great host. She provided us with everything we needed, including helpful information on navigating Austin. The place is clean and modern, and nicely decorated.

Would be a perfect spot for a couple, with ample living space, but definitely also suitable for two non-couple guests (which was our situation).

Highly recommended. I can't think of anything that would have made our stay better."
70825,204528,2011-03-21,87472,Mirissa,"Wow... what a great house. Tamara's taste is impeccable, she was super hospitable, and the location was wonderful. I would definitely want to stay here again... if I could give it more stars I would!"
70825,556113,2011-09-22,124958,Caroline,"Cozy, clean house in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. A five minute walk will get you to a really nice breakfast cafe (Bouldin Creek on First) and five more will get you right onto South Congress). We loved our stay in this beautiful house."
70825,28135304,2015-03-18,28282670,Michelle,Tamara was so helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner prior to arrival. She was very accommodating with all of the requests. Her home is super cute and clean and the neighborhood is great! I would definitely recommend her home to anyone looking to stay in Austin. Thank you Tamara!
1417524,6063973,2013-07-28,1809753,Bridge,"Steven's place was nice, clean, and in a good area for Austin. Steven was easy to communicate with, which was great given a last minute reservation. I didn't meet Steven, but both of his roommates were very helpful and made my stay great."
1417524,7082539,2013-09-05,1168929,Nataly,Great clean place to stay... was wonderful having a private bathroom.  Perfect location!!
1417524,7476611,2013-09-21,5885975,Paul,"Steven's place was amazing and he was very easy to coordinate with, even at the last minute. The room felt more like its own apartment, with plenty of privacy and space to get some work done. His roommates are also great. I would absolutely stay here again. "
1417524,7538417,2013-09-23,8878134,Chris,"Steven's place was well kept and very clean. We were unable to meet up on the day I arrived as my arrival into Austin kept getting delayed, but Steven made alternative arrangements for me to pick up the key and his housemates were helpful in helping get us settled. No issues at all.

The bed was big enough for 3 to crash, but Steven went ahead on the second day and made up a large comfy air bed while we were out sightseeing, which made the stay even more comfortable.

Checkout was all too easy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again here next time I'm in Austin and would recommend his place to others."
1417524,7924742,2013-10-08,5871395,Leena,"Steven was amazing! Such a friendly host with lots of recommendations. Stevens place was clean, large bathroom, and a cute balcony. We will definitely visit Steven again!!"
1417524,8262929,2013-10-22,2325274,Adam,"Steven was an awesome host with cool housemates, the master suite was private, spacious and immaculate (as was the entire house).

The location was also great, and Steven had plenty of recommendations for restaurants and other things to do in the area.

Checkin/checkout couldn't have been easier."
1417524,9136957,2013-12-09,1547158,Priscilla,"My friend Andie and I visited Austin for a mini girls weekend. Steven is a major reason why our trip ended up being as memorable as it was. What a great guy he is on so many levels! He was happily accommodating from start to finish and made us feel welcomed during our entire stay. As a person who's been to Austin many times, I can honestly say this was one of the best visits yet!

In a nutshell: Handsome residence. Perfect location. Great recommendations. Wonderful person. I loved everything about my stay!  "
1417524,9945260,2014-01-20,11331390,Ashley,"I really loved Steven's place- it was nice and clean! Great location to the running trails, South Congress Ave., etc! I will definitely keep this place in mind for the next visit! And would recommend his place to anyone who is going to Austin and wants a great experience! 
Steven was great about answering inquiry questions in a timely manner (within a few minutes)- he was a great host!"
1417524,10357703,2014-02-15,1964192,James,"Steven's room is simple and comfortable, and in a great part of town. I'd definitely stay again."
1417524,10406188,2014-02-17,12051846,Clayton,"Steven was a very accommodating host and was more than willing to make suggestions about restaurants, bars, jogging trails, etc. 

He lives in a beautiful, recently developed home in an exciting part of town. Everything we wanted to do was in close proximity. The upstairs is more than spacious and even offers an incredible balcony with a view of downtown. I would highly recommend Steven's house if you want to experience Austin the right way.
"
1417524,16047319,2014-07-20,7691064,Gaspar,"My friends and I really enjoyed our two night stay with Steven in Austin. The house was modern, comfortable and spacious. Steven took us on a tour upon arrival and made us feel right at home. The location was great - there is a fantastic coffee shop (get the cortado!) just down the street and various food trucks and shops close by. The house is also within walking distance to South Congress. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. Our sole complaint is that Steven was away from his phone and the house was locked when we arrived causing us to wait around a bit and change our plans briefly. "
1417524,17135296,2014-08-07,41383,Jaime,"I had a short stay at Steven's but it felt like having your own palace. The location is superb and the room was cozy, spacious and quite luxurious. I would recommend staying with Steven, great hot, amazing place!"
1417524,17322274,2014-08-10,9671534,Jenica,"Steven is a great host! First off, his place is immaculate and comfortable.  My brother and I were in town to check out some art galleries, eat some good food, and see Austin on our bikes; Steven gave us some excellent recommendations on where to go and how to get there by bike. He is genuinely a great guy, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
1417524,18287138,2014-08-24,4802038,Sonja,"Steven's home is immaculate. The room I stayed in was spacious and the ensuite was clean and beautiful. It is in a great location, about a 5 minute walk to s1st street and then maybe a further 10 to SoCO so very convenient to access great restaurants, boutiques and coffee shops. I was there in august and did walk downtown which is a bit of a hike in hot weather but absolutely achievable.  

Communication with Steven was easy and he answered  all my questions. We didn't see each other very much as I was out most of the time enjoying Austin. 

I would absolutely stay here again. "
1417524,18371870,2014-08-25,20190296,Eduardo,"The place was really nice, big, cozy and modern design.  The location was very convenient,  it was close to the park and 10 min. to Downtown. Also, Steven was a great host. Me and my wife enjoy staying at his place because he made us feel at home,"
1417524,18897444,2014-09-02,5298158,John,"Steven was a great host. He helped us with tips on where to eat and find live entertainment. The accommodations were clean, new and quite comfortable. The location in SoCo Bouldin Creek area is a great residential area with easy access to the downtown area, Zilker Park & South Congress St. Definitely would stay here again!  "
1417524,19856517,2014-09-19,21335406,Angelo,"Steven's home was sleek, super clean and modern. The master bedroom has plenty of space, and it has its own huge bathroom. Being my first time in Austin, I got great tips from him on places to go sightseeing, coffee shops and restaurants. The house has a great location and its within walking distance from South Congress Ave and downtown. I'm definitely staying here again when back to Austin!"
1417524,19885383,2014-09-20,20242829,Elizabeth,"We had a great time at Steven's! His house is beautiful and in a great location-close to lots of restaurants, shops, etc. in the South Congress area. He was very nice and gave us great recommendations about things to do and places to eat since we're new to Austin. It's easy to get around on public transit, Uber and bike from his place to just about anywhere in the city. Would definitely recommend Steven's for anyone coming to Austin to explore!"
1417524,20175334,2014-09-24,563436,Michelle,"Steven was a very nice guy. His place was clean and in a very cool part of town. It was easy to get everywhere in Austin, especially the proximity to Soutj Congress street. I would stay here again! "

1417524,21215706,2014-10-13,20970805,Carolina,"I really enjoyed my stay at Steven's house. The room was very spacious, and it was very clean. Everything looked exactly like the pictures he posted on the listing. I was in town for ACL and it was within a walking distance of the park and many places to eat. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in a quiet neighborhood, and get away from the loud downtown area. "
1417524,21602847,2014-10-20,6984157,J.J.,Steven is a great host. He has a beautiful home in a fantastic location. Having the entire upstairs to ourselves gave us plenty of privacy. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Steven's place next time I'm in Austin.
1417524,21879821,2014-10-26,5473439,Brian,Steven was a wonderful host and his Master Suite was exactly what we expected. His house was beautiful and in a great location in South Austin.  It was very easy for us to come and go as we pleased and Steven's house became a great pit stop for us as we went from activity to activity. In the end he made us feel very at home and I would highly recommend his house to anyone staying in Austin.  
1417524,22048265,2014-10-28,22771768,Sarah,"Beautiful, roomy home that's close to everything.  Steven was super laid back and had good suggestions for things to do/places to see.  Nice place and easy going host.  "
1417524,25833085,2015-01-26,26463999,Ryan,"Steven made us feel very welcome.  Home was very nice and clean.  We pretty much just slept there so interaction with host was very limited.  Would certainly stay there again.  Thanks  Steven.  It was nice to meet you.
Ryan and Debby Wade"
1417524,26333554,2015-02-09,3339026,Chafik,"Enjoyed our stay at Steven's place. House and neighborhood was very nice. Steven made recommendations for local restaurants in the area. If you stay with Steve, you have to walk up the street and have some food from the food trailers."
1417524,26687837,2015-02-17,26070654,Sarah,"This was my first airbnb experience and my first time in Austin, and it was great.  Steven went above and beyond to make me and my friend feel welcome.  He gave us great recommendations on things to do, restaurants to try, etc.  Being able to walk and bike places was a priority for us. The house is an easy walk to South Congress and a charming coffee shop/food trucks and an easy bike to the trails along the river.  It's a short uber ride to downtown - didn't cost more than $7 or so one-way, which is much easier than parking.  Overall, we felt very comfortable and safe and really enjoyed being in this particular neighborhood.  Would definitely stay again."
1417524,27692635,2015-03-09,25162885,Joseph,"Steven and his place was great, the room was super clean, and comfortable. The bathroom is spa like. Nice and quiet neighborhood, but easy to get to hot spots in downtown Austin. "
1417524,28716793,2015-03-29,27506989,Dennis,"Steven is a top-notch host. Friendly and easygoing, he made my stay a welcoming experience. The master room was spacious, clean and modern. His house is in a nice, quiet and conveniently located neighborhood; easy walking distance or a quick cab ride to all the hotspots in Austin — South Congress, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and downtown. A convenient and affordable place, I’d gladly stay again the next time I’m in town."
1417524,30759949,2015-04-27,24342264,Anastasiya,"Steven is a great host! He was welcoming and friendly. He was very accommodative with our check in time as we came for a wedding in Austin and were on a tight schedule. The house was even better then described. There is a sense on privacy of the second floor where we stayed, it is clean and nicely decorated. We had an easy access to our room and a private bathroom. The place also has a great location right around the corner of the various food tacks (it was my first time in Austin and I was impressed by it) and the South Congress avenue. We actually walked to Magnolia Cafe from his house (15 min). Downtown is also a quick Uber ride ($6-7). Excellent place! Thank you Steven!"
1417524,43201528,2015-08-17,40655754,Mitchell,Amazing home! Beautiful quiet neighborhood. It's so close to all the local stuff you would like to visit. Would recommend this spot to anybody. Thanks again Steven for welcoming my friends and I at your home. I had a great time in Austin! 
1417524,49334413,2015-10-03,40883021,Donnacha,"I've never done AirBNB before and I can't imagine a better first experience.

Steven was a damn fine host, welcoming and communicative, with a key set up and ready for me. I'd seen the pictures of the house on the site but even then I felt unprepared when I saw the place - it is *gorgeous* inside, beautifully decorated and lit, and I had trouble believing that I got to stay there! I booked the location because of its closeness to a film festival, about a $5 Uber ride away, but the neighborhood was so nice I found myself walking much of the time. It was great to come back to a nice, quiet place to work and rest, and I never felt disturbed or restricted. Great location, great place, great host - thanks a million Steven!"
1417524,50327031,2015-10-11,27869412,Alicia,"Steven's house is as beautiful as the photos show! It was nice to have our own space upstairs. The house is located in such a great area, convenient to downtown, Zilker, South Congress, Lady Bird, etc.! Steve was willing to give his thoughts on ideas of places we should visit (restaurants, things to do, etc.) to make our stay in Austin awesome :)"
5190362,28154189,2015-03-18,2662029,Allen,"Dave was extremely cool and communicated well. I rented the place for my dad, which I explained to him. They ended up hanging out and Dave handed my dad a guitar and had him jamming out in the airstream in no time. When I asked Dave if it was ok that my dad was a very loud snorer, he said ""if he doesn't like the airstream he can have my house and I'll sleep there!"" Probably the coolest guy I've ever met on here - classic South Austin chill. He plays in a band and will invite you out to see em. My father, who's a bit picky, really loved the airstream and had an amazing time and made a new friend."
5190362,28271673,2015-03-21,7035940,Gary,Great space. Slept great and we now want an airstream of our own. Dave was very friendly and helpful
5190362,29886536,2015-04-13,8211662,Adam,I was wanting an airstream for a local music festival.  Knowing that the location was ten minutes away I was only loosely looking.  The first individual was very nervous about their trailer which the ad said was featured in the New York Times.  They were wanting to tack on a large charge for a festival.  I was willing to even put the deposit down until I found Dave's airstream and he responded to my question pre booking immediately.  His pictures were not the best light up so I was happy but nervous that the reservation and him offering to go early and get a good spot was too good to be true and I would walk in and the walls would be tacked on top of mildew because it was affordable.  I would get him a billboard if I could. The interior is original and it works. This is what I always imagined an airstream to be.  The air conditioning was COLD all weekend. Gracias Dave. u rock. 
5190362,37240688,2015-07-05,24115227,Lauren,Dave was prompt with his responses and he worked with us to ensure everything we needed could be accommodated.
5190362,37715210,2015-07-09,10427728,Shonda,"Dave was an excellent host.  Although the airstream was not available during our stay, we were able to rent the rooms at his place which was a great help as we were in a tight situation.  Dave was friendly and very relaxed & cool (as it should in south Austin ; )).  We are looking forward to checking out the airstream in the future."
5190362,38941506,2015-07-19,38302225,Stephanie,"Dave was a FANTASTIC host! He made himself available to us for whatever we needed, Including when we had some power and water issues in the airstream, but he was quick to fix it and even opened up his house to us if we had any more problems (we didn't). He was very friendly and I would definitely stay with him again and recommend him to others!"
5190362,41011099,2015-08-03,39475739,Sarah,"Dave was a wonderful host - very kind and helpful. The airstream is a cute and simple space for a getaway. Although we had to cut our stay short, Dave was great and very understanding. We hope to see him/use his services again next time in Austin! "
5190362,43195389,2015-08-17,20898889,Jessica,The airstream was very cool and a great value. I really enjoyed it and Dave was great too. 
5190362,44046431,2015-08-23,24115227,Lauren,"We used the airstream as an extra bedroom while visiting my sister. It fit the bill. The ac was perfect, and the beds were comfy enough. My husband and daughters were comfy all night. Dave was easy to work with, flexible and responded right away."
5190362,44705638,2015-08-28,10510338,Luke,We had such an amazing time. So much fun staying in the airstream! I would recommend this stay to anyone!  
5190362,45007805,2015-08-30,38607695,Carson,"Dave was a fantastic host, and provided an excellent Austin experience to me and my friends. The trailer we stayed in was super sweet, straight out of 1974, with a true roughing it in the city kind of vibe. It's been hot as hell outside, and this trailer will keep you needing blankets all night long. The set up outside the trailer is great. It's private, yet still close to everything, and Dave made himself totally available to anything we would need. I would recommend this trailer to anyone. It's a money getaway and real memory-maker. Found a real friend in Dave as well. He's one of the most laid back, and fun guys you'll ever meet. He's a talented dude with a heart of gold, and will make you feel like a life-long friend right from the get go. "
5190362,45718496,2015-09-05,5936925,Lon,"I enjoyed my stay in Dave's vintage Airstream. The neighborhood was quiet and near where I was visiting. The Airstream is small but comfortable, the AC cooled it down quickly (it was almost 100 degrees outside during summer afternoons in Austin), Wi-Fi worked well, the refrigerator kept drinks cold, the bed was comfortable, and the price affordable. It as nice having a private space to relax. Dave  is an excellent host. Looking forward to my next stay. "
5190362,46072655,2015-09-07,25417724,Elaine,"Cozy, like taking a trip back in time. Comfortable. The air stream was in the shade. Right off the highway, but you wouldn't even know it. Easy accessible. "
5190362,46824580,2015-09-13,21572953,Yukie,"Dave was great! Super cool guy, let us know where all the good places were in the area! The location itself was awesome. So convenient! The Airstream was so cozy, and like Dave said, good vibes!"
5190362,47394027,2015-09-18,11840318,Michael,"Our experience with Dave was great. We drove 13+ hours to get to Austin. Needless to say we didn't make the check in time. Dave was more than accommodating for our late arrival. The airstream was such a great experience. It was incredibly comfortable and rather unique. Being rather small, the bathroom could take some getting used to for sure. The location was perfect with easy access to main highways. We plan to stay with Dave again when we make it back to Austin! "
5190362,49458500,2015-10-04,15870700,Amy,"Even before arriving in Austin, Dave showed us that he is an excellent host by promptly responding to my emails. Upon arriving at his door, he carried our bags to the airstream, and then showed us around explaining how everything worked. The airstream is terribly cute, adorable even, with fun decorations, and ample space for two people. For a long weekend, this cozy camper has everything you could need!

Dave is a very gracious, knowledgeable and creative host, and it was a pleasure meeting him and staying in his airstream. I would recommend this airbnb location to anyone and everyone. :)"
5190362,50204096,2015-10-10,35289344,Rebecca,The airstream was an awesome experience! We were there for ACL and Dave helped us with the layout of Austin and had some great recommendations. A great place to stay after a long day at the festival and only a very short ride to downtown. A welcome change of pace from a regular hotel!
5190362,50445576,2015-10-12,37400708,Matthew,"We had a fantastic stay in Dave's Airstream while up in Austin for the ACL festival. We stayed with our two small children, and while cozy (it's an Airstream after all) it was all that we needed for our weekend away. The accommodation is located in a good area, not more than 10-15 minutes drive to most Austin city attractions. The area is quiet and close to convenience stores. I'd highly recommend this place if you're after a couple of days in this awesome place. "
5190362,51285993,2015-10-19,41573385,Rebecca,The airstream was great and Dave was great too! Would definitely recommend. 
5190362,52705746,2015-11-01,806040,Stephanie,Dave was an incredible host - super proactive and eager to share all the gems that Austin has to offer.  The airstream was super charming and close to the action.
9087996,53145693,2015-11-05,6911041,Sarah,"Kristin was super accommodating and incredibly welcoming. She met me downstairs upon my arrival, showed me where to park and then gave me a tour of her apartment. Although she hasn't hosted much, she knows how to make people feel at home! We had some great conversations and if I'm ever in Austin again, I would love to come back! Thanks again Kristin, and I wish you the best of luck on your graduation and your future. Make sure to travel the world :)"
6120864,44251593,2015-08-24,33410382,Samuel,"Northwest part of Austin and a bit of a commute into the city, but if that doesn't bother you, then this is a great spot to stay. Comfortable home and well prepared. Would definitely stay here again."
6120864,50459859,2015-10-12,40722386,Andrea,"The listing was exactly what we wanted, it has everything, towels, garbage bags, tissues, body wash, you name it! It is a bit far from downtown austin. It's maybe about a 10-minute drive, but there's a Wendy's nearby, a Bank of America, and a dunkin doughnuts aswell. It was really a great experience and I would definetely go back. "
6574868,35900827,2015-06-22,35205455,Joseph,The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5288423,27311817,2015-03-01,15573225,Rebecca,"Jessica was an enthusiastic and welcoming host. The house is lovely and really close to fun stuff off South Congress. 

If you're in Austin and looking for a comfortable place to stay you should definitely think about this place. "
5288423,27628948,2015-03-08,28757253,Robin,Jessica was a great host! We felt very welcomed by her as the house was prepared for our arrival and she gave us a ton of recomendations on what to do in Austin for the weekend. The weekend is very cosy and fits a large group well. The porch is wonderful with it's swing. The house is quite centrally located and everyhing is accessible with an Uber.
5288423,28019643,2015-03-16,25914008,Bonni,The description of the property was right on. It was very convenient and clean. 
5288423,28320830,2015-03-22,27755984,Laurence,Jessica made us feel very welcome and was very helpful throughout our stay. The house was very comfortable and was great having three bedrooms (the sofa bed room didn't even feel like we thought it would). Towels were aplenty and everything absolutely great. Thank you.
5288423,28812372,2015-03-30,28751499,Craig,"This house was great. Super clean. Convenient to the funky East 6th part of town. Walking distance to tons of restaurants, stores and bars. Easy Uber ride to West 6th, Rainey St, food trucks, etc.

Jessica communicated with me regularly and clearly leading up to our trip. Finding the house, getting the keys from the lockbox and getting settled couldn't have been easier. She even left a six pack of Lone Star beers for our arrival and she brought us a second guitar!

We had a super great weekend and it was in large part due to Jessica and this house. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for an authentic Austin experience.

Thanks Jessica!"
5288423,29960898,2015-04-14,31142360,Louis,"It was a cool little place, perfect for what we needed. Jessica was very accommodating, even though it was last minute. Would recommend. "
5288423,30316998,2015-04-20,10916167,Taryn,"Jessica's place was great! It was very spacious, clean and had a homey feel. It was close to a few bars and was easy to get downtown-- a short bike or uber ride. We definitely enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back! "
5288423,31687549,2015-05-08,1878217,Pedro,"Jessica was an amazing and attentive host, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and felt at home. Her home was beautiful and very clean. She provided us with everything we needed, including a six pack of beer, which I thought was so incredibly thoughtful.

The home is conveniently located on the east side of Austin and close to many great restaurants and bars. I highly recommend this place, I give it 5 out of 5 stars."
5288423,37253540,2015-07-05,14867118,Elizabeth,Jessica was very prompt and accommodating! I highly recommend this place. Great location to both Congress and 6th Street. House was clean and smelled amazing! We had a great time and would stay again.
5288423,38074350,2015-07-12,4823012,Mark,"Stayed at Jessica's home with a small group of friends for a weekend in Austin and San Marcos. The neighborhood is very eclectic and inviting with lots of things to do just a block away (bars, food trucks, breakfast tacos) but you would never guess it when standing outside on a sleepy residential street.  You are only a short ride to downtown action and walking is even doable.  The house is laid out perfectly for a rental and Jessica prepared 6 separate sleeping options for our group before we arrived. There is only one bathroom in the house, which I didn't notice until we got there, but it works. Jessica provides plenty of towels, spare blankets and linens. She was super great at communicating and has a good system set up.

Its an older house, but perfect if you have at least a group of 5."
5288423,38821586,2015-07-19,8735915,Chloe,"We were in town for my daughter's bachelorette party but wanted to stay at a different house a few blocks away. The house was just perfect for what we needed! It was very clean, and had all the amenities we could ask for. Four of us stayed here but there could've several more.  I would definitely stay here again!!
"
5288423,39701856,2015-07-25,14761434,Nadxeli,"La casa esta muy bien ubicada, para 3 personas fue muy cómoda , muy limpia, las cervezas de bienvenida una maravilla !!! "
5288423,42968372,2015-08-16,40824895,Jonathan,"Jessica made my first experience booking through AirBnB great. Gracious host with a nice house in an excellent location - holds true to form for what you'd want out of a stay in Austin. Plenty of local eats and dives within walking distance, loads of character, and good vibes."
5288423,44825149,2015-08-29,3613560,Guido,Great place!
5288423,45936102,2015-09-07,25171948,Ian,"I had a great time! The house is very close to downtown Austin, as well as walking distance to the river and La Barbecue!"
5288423,47692976,2015-09-21,12060703,Taylor,"The host communicated effectively and definitely made sure we were ready to arrive. 

The post description paints a much nicer than the actual house. It is much smaller than expected. The house was clean when we arrived and seemed to be pretty well kept. During our stay, though, we did find a cockroach, which was pretty gross. 

We did not spend much time in the house because we wanted to explore Austin. The posting does say there is an HD flat screen the streams Netflix. That is 100% true, but the HD flat screen is in the back room and does not have cable, so useless you plan on watching movies, you are out of luck. 

We took Ubers everywhere, which were approximately $5. We are from San Francisco, so we are very comfortable walking, but the house is definitely not within walking distance. It would be a hike to get to Rainey Street or downtown. 

The house did its job providing us a place to sleep. "
8171923,46977217,2015-09-14,39145004,Harlan,"Airbnb host Neal provided us with a nice fullsize futon and a large bathroom ,very well equipped with thick towels,great shower and tons of toiletries. Nice poster/paintings on walls. Located on quiet Eastside street, it was a easy drive to all our destinations. Hope to stay again."
8171923,47298824,2015-09-17,43229174,Milan,"Neal was super welcoming, he made his home seem like our own home. The home itself was great. It was clean, organized and had a great layout. Staying here was by far better than staying at a hotel. The master bedroom was spacious, as was the bathroom. The bed was extremely comfortable to sleep on and Neal's place is in a quiet neighborhood so you're unlikely to have any noise complaints. Another great aspect of this BnB is that it's only about 5 minutes from the airport so it made getting there to the home and getting back to the airport a breeze. You definitely wouldn't have to worry about traffic and could probably get away with leaving closer to your flight time (if you're flying in). If I visited austin again, this is where I would stay!"
8171923,48033301,2015-09-22,26015270,Michelle,"Neil was a great host and offered to do laundry if needed after the second night. We didn't intend to spend much time there, as it was convenient to the race track. "
8171923,50023820,2015-10-08,202863,Daniel,"I had a great stay at Neal's place. He room is exactly as described and is very spacious. Neal is a friendly host and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Additionally, the location is very convenient for the airport and well connected to downtown via regular bus and uber. Highly recommended!"
8171923,50570103,2015-10-12,24387413,Darling,Huge room and huge bathroom. Neal even had a full hair spa in the bathroom for us. Air conditioning and bus timetables were also ready for us. Thank you!
8171923,52092954,2015-10-26,23369479,Michael,"This was our first AirBnB stay. It was a great! Neal was very accommodating to our schedule. He had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay. On Friday, we got soaked at COTA and when we returned Neal was very gracious in letting us use his home to dry out, wash out clothes, etc. This place was a very convenient location for our USGP related activities @ COTA  & downtown. I'd definitely stay here again."
8171923,52933771,2015-11-02,45246560,Ken,"Neal's place was great, spacious room, comfortable bed, excellent hair products in the bathroom...what more could I ask for. We never had much of a chance to interact in person as my schedule was packed but Neal was quick to respond to texts and very accommodating.

His place was centrally located with Uber fares less then $10 from the Driskill Hotel downtown. His wonderful house is located in a lower class neighborhood but I felt completely safe and liked the character of the area.

Loved the artwork. I highly recommend. Comfortable, affordable lodging."
8355814,50059320,2015-10-08,501981,Ryan,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8355814,50251211,2015-10-10,2545889,Jennifer,Great location but difficult to find parking. Communication with Andres was easy and he even let us check-in early. Very simple accommodations. 
8355814,52000295,2015-10-25,43533091,Crystal,"Host was polite and not overbearing. The description of the place was accurate. Neighborhood is  very much the college scene, being as how it is located on fraternity/sorority row. Overall location and description of location, outside: Very new and nice, Inside: new and very simplistic. Close to alot"
867123,3634757,2013-02-26,5077495,Denis,"Jules and Lance were fantastic hosts, very accommodating and considerate. The garage apartment was in perfect shape and had all amenities imaginable. Overall, a perfect experience."
867123,3767153,2013-03-12,1368315,Nathan,"We had an amazing time at Jules and lances spot  during sxsw! The bikes they provided made an easy trip to downtown. And walking was only about 20-30 minutes. Only a few blocks to hot mama's coffee. The apartment was classy, clean and in great shape. They gave us jnfo on the area and some delicious granola bars when we arrived. Only downside is hot water for shower runs out quite fast. "
867123,3914209,2013-03-26,5524454,Morgan,"Jules and Lance were amazing hosts! The studio space was perfect for our stay, with all the amenities you could ask for. We even got a game of table tennis in! The studio was clean, stylish and comfortable. A relaxing place to come home to after a long day of exploring Austin. It was also very secure and safe, and had the added bonus of an enclosed parking spot! Jules and Lance were very helpful about local attractions and provided a great list of recommendations. They were clear, communicative and friendly. Overall it was an ideal experience! "
867123,8598570,2013-11-07,405261,Rebecca,"The studio has a large walk in closet with a twin bed, so there is much more room here than you would think.  You will also have
the use of an entire double car garage with two cross bicycles.  In
addition, there is a parking spot adjacent to the garage.  This is a 
quiet neighborhood and the place is totally private, safe, and located
off the alley.  This neighborhood is an ideal location to town and several cool eateries and events nearby and right off the bike trail. I believe E Austin is becoming the place to live. Bicycling was safe, convenient, lots of trails, mostly flat terrain, and you can ride to Mellow Johnny's bike shop (Lance Armstrong is part owner.) "
867123,10928278,2014-03-13,9840031,Max,"The studio is very cozy! If you're renting a car, this spot is _perfect_. There's a two car garage below the studio with two bikes as well."
867123,11189012,2014-03-24,12740005,Amanda,"We had a fabulous stay at the Haskell St Studio.  It's bright, clean, well appointed and the hosts could not have been more helpful and accommodating.  Super location with lots of bonus' (ping pong table, garage parking etc.) and communication was clear and easy.   We were traveling with our 1 year old son and Jules and Lance made it extremely easy.  I would recommend this space to anyone visiting Austin.  "
867123,11381551,2014-03-31,13490988,Lisa,The Studio could not have been better. Very comfortable in a fun part of town. Highly recommended. The hosts were also very helpful. A+
867123,11869069,2014-04-17,13679211,Jessica,"I spent five nights in Austin with two friends, and the Haskell Studio was the perfect choice! I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the east Austin area. It almost feels like being in a treehouse, because of all the tree branches you can see outside the window. The beds are soft and cozy. The bathrooms and kitchenette are spacious and impeccably clean. It truly is RIGHT next to the bike trail, and Lance and Jules graciously let us use their two bikes, which was wonderful since we flew in and couldn't bring our own. They also made a great list of things to do and places to go that they keep in the studio, which we referenced often. We had a minor issue crop up with the air conditioner, and they were so responsive -- Lance had it fixed within hours while we were out exploring the city. He and Jules are wonderful, gracious hosts with a gem of a place to stay. "
867123,12644963,2014-05-06,8039969,Rahul,"The Lamberts' Eastside studio was perfect for my 4-night stay in Austin.  It was clean, bright, and nicely furnished.  There was a private garage for my use, which made it easier to rent a car for getting around town.  Also, I booked on pretty short notice and they were great about responding quickly.  I'd be happy to stay here again!"
867123,21604761,2014-10-20,8651172,Priya,The studio on Haskell is exactly how it's described and was perfect for my stay in Austin.  Very comfortable and less than a $10 uber ride to everywhere I needed to go for the weekend.  Will definitely come back the next time I'm in Austin!
867123,21961085,2014-10-27,21466310,Keyon,Place was nice and clean and everything worked as expected.  Roll out cot was surprisingly comfortable.
867123,26748259,2015-02-18,4909775,Anne,"We had a great experience at the Haskell Studio. The place was even better than described - garage parking, comfortable bed, wifi, flat screen TV, and a mini kitchen with everything we needed (including a 2-burner stove.) The cot was set up in a very large walk-in closet that functions almost like a little bedroom. We didn't need it, but will keep it in mind if we need a place for 3 people. It's located in a really quiet up and coming neighborhood, about a 2-mile walk to downtown (and an inexpensive Uber ride back). We LOVED having the bikes to ride, and the place is absolutely right on a wonderful bike path that loops around Lady Bird Lake. We rode 2 out of the 4 days we were there, and walked the other two days.  We really appreciated the recommendations on restaurants in the area, and Jules was quick to respond to any questions or requests.  "
867123,27713396,2015-03-10,25310507,Anne,"Jules and Lance, supplied us with information on how to enter the studio which went without a hitch!

The studio was exactly as pictured and totally met our expectations. Everything was in order and neat as a pin. 
It is in an up and coming neighborhood with lots of character. We felt totally safe in all regards. The location is close to downtown. A short cab ride away. We like the eastside!  "
867123,32639386,2015-05-19,5208243,Andrew,"The Haskell Studio was as described. It's located in the residential Holly neighborhood of East Austin, a few blocks from running/bike trails, restaurants, and bars. Its a compact space but well done and clean. I would definitely stay there again if I'm in the area again. "
5374713,28261264,2015-03-21,2934533,Rubi,"Cristina was accommodating and met me at my later-than-usual check -in time.  The room is a good size, with a unique and beautiful bathroom. Although you have to go through the main house to enter and exit, it felt very private. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful.  Not a whole lot going on in the neighborhood, but an Uber cost about $12 into downtown, and were readily available.  I absolutely loved Austin and it was great not having to worry about where I was staying. "
8609978,50540844,2015-10-12,26064799,Chris,"Great experience during ACL! The apartment was clean and comfortable. Jen was very welcoming and friendly. She even provided me with water and snacks, which were fantastic as I I was coming and going to the festival! The apartment was in a very nice location and located right on top of, as well as surrounded by, some amazing places to eat. It was nice and easy walk to Zilker park every day. While I was in the apartment, she provided we with plenty of privacy, but always made sure to see if there was anything I needed. Could have asked for a better time, would highly recommend!"
8609978,51518792,2015-10-20,41685105,Steph,"Jennifer and her boyfriend Barry have an amazing modern apartment in a perfect location close to downtown Austin. We spent 2 nights there and had an awesome time!
Soon after landing in Austin late in the evening our pre booked reservation with our other host fell through. We stumbled across Jennifer's listing while frantically trying to find a new place before it got too late and managed to message, book and confirm our stay with Jennifer in the space of 10 minutes! 
Jennifer met us outside the apartment block, and showed us up to their apartment. After we had settled in they recommended a couple of places to eat which were both in walking distance and delicious.
Jennifer and Barry saved us from a sticky situation, and we are extremely grateful for that. Our only regret is not having more time to spend in Austin and more time to get to know Jennifer and Barry!
Thanks so much guys, Steph & Adam :)"
8609978,52304334,2015-10-27,29657361,Andrew,"Great place in ATX and you're not likey to find two nicer ppl than Jen and her boyfriend Barry; a great experience start to finish.  Immaculate apartment, super communicative throughout, and two awesome dogs.  Had a nice time hanging out.  Definitely recommended."
8609978,52387008,2015-10-28,1204594,Jessica,"Jennifer was super accommodating and friendly, and their place is very central - I was able to walk to my meetings. Loved staying with them!"
8609978,52445918,2015-10-29,43117709,Blythe,"Jen and Barry were the perfect hosts! This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't have asked for a better one. They were super accommodating and friendly, and they took the time to talk to me and hang out while I stayed with them. They, along with their adorable pups, definitely made me feel at home. I would stay here again if I make it back to Austin! "
8609978,53026816,2015-11-03,47662012,Peter,Jennifer and he boyfriend Barry were AWESOME! Very welcoming and inviting offered for me to have dinner with them the first night.   Appartment was super clean bed made and towels out for me.  The complex had a pool gym and then there was also restaurants a spin and yoga studio on the first floor.   Perfectly spaces between 6th and 5th street so super easy to get anywhere.
8609978,53188215,2015-11-06,33107652,Kayci,"Everything was as described, and Jen & Barry were both extremely nice and helpful. I had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying here!"
4814446,25566954,2015-01-19,7570677,Melissa,"This was a great location and great person to rent from in the Austin area.  The house is brand new and very clean. the layout was really open downstair. There are 3 bedrooms and the master bedroom was really large and fit an air mattress with space. It was great for our group and the outside area was perfect for our dog. The house is walking distance to Rainey district and short Lyft to 6th street and downtown Austin. Working out the details with Pallu was really easy! I would definitely stay here again! (Already thinking about our next trip) and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!!

Thanks Pallu!!!!"
4814446,25768425,2015-01-25,874842,Chris,"Best AirBnB experience yet. Great host, great location, perfect house. Pallu was very helpful with suggestions of restaurants and about our stay in general. She left snacks and beer for us as well!  We plan on booking again. "
4814446,26330875,2015-02-09,6047270,Marvin,The home is so beautiful and beautifully decorated.  It is in a terrific spot close to many of the BBQ and food joints you can think of as well as all of what's happening in Austin.  Pallu was a terrific host and made sure we were all set up once we got there and responded quickly whenever we had any questions.  You will truly enjoy your stay here.  
4814446,26992483,2015-02-23,22277893,Jerry,Beautiful brand new house in a great location. The place is a 5 min walk from tons of great bars and restaurants and Pallu was a great host. She was very accommodating and responsive. I wish I could have stayed the rest of the winter instead of coming back to Chicago!!
4814446,27333437,2015-03-02,26270751,Samantha,"Pallu was so great to work with. She responded so quickly to my reservation inquiry, answered all my questions, and even suggested places for our group to go.  It was our first time in austin and she made booking our stay stress free! She even had little snacks set out upon arrival. So cute! The house was amazing. Decorated to perfection and so much room for our group ! I will definitely stay here/ recommend this house again. "
4814446,27857811,2015-03-13,28821246,Lara,Amazing place to stay our host was very welcoming and even left us some wine and chocolates which was very sweet. The location was very central and close to great bars and restaurants. The house was super clean and a great space! Would stay here again with out a doubt!
4814446,28160794,2015-03-19,22064013,Kristan,"The house was absolutely wonderful and Pallu was a fabulous host. The location is perfect, couple blocks from Rainey street and a quick walk to down town Austin. The house was spotless and spacious. Pallu went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were covered. I highly recommend staying here for your trip to Austin!"
4814446,28303509,2015-03-22,23416007,Ashleigh,What an incredible experience! Pallu was not only the epitome of a wonderful and gracious host but her east austin house could not have been better. We stayed for SxSW and it was perfect walking distance (d could want. The beds are incredibly comfortable and the shower off the master bath is absolutely huge and luxurious. This was a top notch experience and I will not stay anywhere else on future trips to austin. 
4814446,28520439,2015-03-25,3354085,Shaun,Pallu was an excellent host and the location of the house was fantastic.  We were within walking distance of Rainey St. and had a blast!
4814446,28671510,2015-03-28,839539,Jacqueline,Great house. Accomodated a big group from work. Food coffee and downtown super accessible. Would stay again!
4814446,29272977,2015-04-06,27361395,Kendall,"This house was absolutely perfect for our girls only weekend getaway.  The house is clean, modern, and only a short walk to Rainey Street.  Pallu was very accommodating with our scattered arrival and departure times. She even had an arrival basket for us with Easter treats.  I will stay here again the next time I'm in Austin."
4814446,29570598,2015-04-09,29589972,Caroline,"Pallu is a great host - very responsive and accommodating. 
The neighborhood is convenient to Austin's downtown - near great food and entertainment. We liked the unit a lot - very bright and airy; nice comfortable furniture; lovely bathrooms; very clean. It looked brand new. We would stay here again."
4814446,29826036,2015-04-13,27170634,Scott,"Couldn't have asked for a better house, better location or better host. Pallu went out of her way to accommodate me and my friends during our visit to Austin. The house is amazing, wonderfully maintained and in walking distance to anything you could want to see or do while in Austin. I would recommend to anyone that they stay here during an Austin visit! "
4814446,30286173,2015-04-20,11529853,Adam,"Pallu was very attentive and helpful before and throughout our stay at her home. She left a very nice care package in the house for when we arrived, which consisted of some snacks and local brew. The location is super close to the Rainey street bars and restaurants whilst being tucked away in a super quiet, residential neighborhood. "
4814446,30762332,2015-04-27,26202281,Ashley,"Fantastic experience!  Pallu was the best host we could have asked for. The check-in/check-out process was super simple and she was immediately accessible for questions, etc. She made us feel very welcome and had great recs for things to do in the area. The house itself is gorgeous and was perfect for our group. We had plenty of space. Rainey Street is a close walk and downtown and the airport are both a quick cab or uber ride.  Wouldn't have changed a thing!  Can't wait to plan a return trip to Austin and stay here again!"
4814446,31425309,2015-05-05,26732849,Eric,What a great spot! Just spent the weekend here for my brother's bachelor party and can't imagine having stayed anywhere else. A short 5 minute walk to all of the bars on Rainey St. and a 10-15 minute walk to 6th st. The place fit Pallu's description to the tee and was able to accommodate 8 guys with ease. Pallu was a fantastic host. She was at the house waiting for our arrival and did everything she could to ensure we enjoyed our stay. She even went above and beyond helping us ship a large item back to DC after we left. Highly recommend this spot to anybody visiting Austin... Except for when I'm back in town because this is where I'll be staying again! Thanks again Pallu!
4814446,31707459,2015-05-09,20707507,Gillian & Tom,"Place was great!
Location is very close to Rainey St bars & restaurants.
House feels brand new and has cool modern architecture.


"
4814446,31921110,2015-05-11,30869165,Marc,"Pallu was an exceptional host. She kindly met us at the home as we arrived and was diligent in making sure we were enjoying our stay. The house was very clean, well kept and had lots of open space so it was easy for my group of seven to get comfortable. I offer Pallu the highest marks available and would gladly stay with her again.    "
4814446,32460324,2015-05-18,10394314,Salima,"Pallu was the perfect host and made us feel at home from the beginning. She left clear instructions for us and was also flexible with check in and check out times. She left a few treats for us as well as a welcome binder which was very helpful.

The house was clean, updated (wood floors/marble finishings), and perfect for 8 girls. There was also a parking spot, fresh towels, clean dishware, etc which allowed us to settle in quickly and make use of all of these amenities. 

The house is a 5 - 10 minute walk to all of the bars on Rainey St. and a 15 minute walk to 6th st. I recommend this house to anybody visiting Austin and/or visiting for a bachelor/bachelorette party. "
4814446,32965144,2015-05-24,25241242,Stacy,"Pallu was wonderful and made us feel so welcome in her home.  The place was beautiful, clean, well appointed, and very well located.  Walking distance to Rainey street, a short petty cab from 6th, and close to local coffee shops and restaurants.   Pallu's home was decorated very nicely and created a comfortable place for my family to gather.  Pallu was in communication with us before, during, and after our stay to ensure everything went well.  I would highly recommend this property and will rent here again."
4814446,33351056,2015-05-27,5399343,Sally,"Pallu was an amazing host! Her home was in the perfect location and she gave great recommendations for things to do and places to see. She made sure we had what we needed for a comfortable stay and was very accommodating for a group of 7. The neighborhood is walking distance to Rainey Street and close to the freeway for a quick drive/uber ride to SoCo or downtown. The house was quiet and cozy, this place really makes you feel at home. I would absolutely recommend this place to my friends and family. 

Thank you, Pallu, for the hospitality. I cannot wait to visit Austin again! "
4814446,33787026,2015-06-01,4835152,Adam,"Pallu's house is incredible.  It's clean and very well designed.  The experience went perfectly smooth.  The location is a 2 minute walk from Rainey street, and a 5 minute Uber from anyone else in Austin you would want to go.  We had 3 couples using the 3 rooms, and it was beyond comfortable.  Next week I'm traveling again and paying more for a small hotel than we did for this entire 3 bedroom house.  The price is a steal.  The master shower is amazing.  If you're coming to Austin with a few friends I can't imagine finding a better house to stay in than here."
4814446,34496301,2015-06-08,23196833,Alex,Pallu's house is absolutely amazing. It is in the perfect location to explore Austin and especially rainy street. Pallu is an experienced host and I would 100% stay there again!! 
4814446,34906241,2015-06-13,5160459,Sarah,"Pallu was welcoming, great over the phone and very responsive. The home was lovely and was in a very pleasant location. "
4814446,35810035,2015-06-22,733215,New,Pallu is a wonderful host! During our stay she made sure we had everything we needed and checked in daily to see if there was anything else that we needed. Her home and hospitality are wonderful and I would stay at here place again and again. 
4814446,36858264,2015-07-02,29824897,Katie,Pallu was an incredible hostess and the house was absolutely perfect for our stay in Austin!  The house is gorgeous and in a prime location. We were just a short walk to Rainey Street and downtown.  Pallu was in contact with me several times throughout our trip to make sure everything was going okay.  The house was stocked with all the essentials for our stay and she even left a few welcoming goodies for us!  I highly recommend staying here for a visit to Austin.  Can't wait to come back!
4814446,37365316,2015-07-06,516017,Scott,She was communicative and made it easy to get in and out without a hitch.  The house was great and the beds were good.  We really enjoyed the house during our stay and would recommend it for people visiting Austin for sure.
4814446,38150526,2015-07-13,5220500,Jake,"Pallu was a gracious hostess.  Before we arrived, she was eager to give us suggestions on fun places to go while we were there. She also met one of us upon our arrival and to give a quick rundown of the space.   

Space: The description of the space was spot on and the pictures advertised were true to the feeling of the home.  With the HOT Austin sun the space was bright, but the AC was sufficient to keep us cooled down when we were ""home."" The only issue our group had was that the master bedroom was a bit too bright in the morning, beyond that the place was perfect. 

As for location, it couldn't have been much better.  We were a 5-10 min walk from Rainey St. which is full of restaurants and bars.  (Clearly, this includes some of Austin's food trucks!)  When we couldn't walk, Uber was a $5-10 ride from everywhere where we wanted to go in town including South Congress. 

I'd definitely stay here again.  "
4814446,39029564,2015-07-20,759214,Yves,Great house. Great host. Highly recommend staying there. Location is ideal. 
4814446,39913415,2015-07-27,3919499,Jeff,"Pallu was an incredibly gracious host.  He was very communicative prior to our arrival, making sure everything was to our liking. The house was beautiful and conveniently located with a short walk to Rainey Street.  The beds were very comfortable and the house was well equipped with everything we needed (i.e. wifi, TV, towels, etc.). I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anybody else."
4814446,41132779,2015-08-04,32645152,Betty,"Clean modern home, good location right by Rainey, convenient to everything else. Also, Pallu was a nice host :). We had an ant issue the second day unfortunately.  Hopefully that gets taken care of. I would stay here again nonetheless. "
4814446,41771507,2015-08-09,6432955,Jennifer,"Our family of 6 (plus 1 child) loved this airbnb.  Super nice, bright and spacious!  Pallu was willing to meet us as soon as our flight arrived into Austin, which was very convenient. The bedrooms are big enough, and 2.5 bathrooms makes sharing the space easy.  Street parking was a breeze, and the house is conveniently located by the highway and with easy access to all parts of Austin.  Neighborhood is nothing fancy, seems ""up and coming"", but close to LA BBQ and a few other cute spots (Cenote). All in all, great stay and would definitely stay again if we come back to Austin!"
4814446,43045287,2015-08-17,34691381,Katie,Pallu was a great host! She was very responsive to any questions we had and made the experience super easy. The house is in walking distance to lots of things around town and close enough to the interstate to get anywhere in under 15 minutes. We were there celebrating a 30th birthday and the house was perfect to fit all 6 of us.  This was our first time using Airbnb and we will definitely be using it again after this trip! 
4814446,43477745,2015-08-20,30284575,Kalista,"
Pallu made sure that we knew exactly how to access the property and left us a note and book full of information about the area. The home was located wonderfully for getting to the convention center and back. We all agreed that when we come back to Austin we will be staying here again. "
4814446,44174248,2015-08-24,28759661,Monte,"The house was great, as described with plenty of available parking (huge plus in Austin). I had a group of six, everyone loved their rooms. Only drawback is that the master bedroom is extremely bright in the morning, but it helps to get you up an going, so all in all the house was perfect for our group. Extra bonus is they accepted the dogs and the loved having a little side yard. I would definitely recommend and stay again. "
4814446,45064027,2015-08-31,32448044,Kaitlyn,The house was absolutely perfect for our bachelorette party trip... 8 of us and the house never felt crowded. Pallu is a great host. Very helpful after booking and throughout the stay. Will definitely stay here again if in the area. 
4814446,46040135,2015-09-07,3656497,Neil,Pallu's home was perfect for our family during our wedding in Austin!  Great location near downtown and Rainey Street.  The home is beautiful and slept 7 people comfortably!
4814446,46865037,2015-09-14,811048,Sasha,"We had a terrific time at the Lambie Street house.  It was perfect for our group of 5, close to all, within walking distance of great restaurants and bars!  Pallu was very organized and we had everything we needed for a weekend stay.  I think everyone in our group was ready to move into the house and stay forever!  Thanks Pallu!"
4814446,48693809,2015-09-28,30307871,David,"I stayed at this property while in town for a family wedding. The house is new, clean and ""connected."" It easily accommodated six adults and we enjoyed spending time together in theater open kitchen/living room area. A short walk to Rainey St, Easy to Uber to other spots downtown.  Overall a great property and experience with Pallu!"
4814446,49392642,2015-10-03,45146774,Matthew,"This is a great location within walking distance of everything we needed. House is beautiful, and came with everything we needed. Very excellent host. We definitely would stay again. "
4814446,49589076,2015-10-05,33866452,Cathy,"Everything was great!!  We were able to walk to breakfast, lunch or dinner or an easy uber ride to shopping etc.  The unit is nicely equipped, clean with cool finishes.  Pallu was so helpful and always available to us.  We will definitely be BACK!!"
4814446,50041947,2015-10-08,45565083,Josh,Nice spot. Fun space. Good location. Easy access and accommodating host. Yay!
4814446,50611434,2015-10-13,28908252,Mark,"The house is really spacious and spotlessly clean. Master bedroom suite is massive but all bedrooms are good doubles. Lovely open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area makes for good communal atmosphere. Host Pallu is attentive and looks out for you if you need her It's a place you need to have a car as its a bit away from any amenities. Really well positioned for I35 but you do get some freeway noise as a result. Overall it's a really good house with all the things you'd want. My only warning would be that the master bedroom needs more blinds as its too light to sleep in and the lounge area needs an additional blind to have real privacy from the street.  "
4814446,51287550,2015-10-19,41626646,Terry,"Enjoyed a wonderful weekend in Austin with my husband and six grown children (two in laws included in that count).  The house was perfect for our group.  Pallu was very easy to work with.  The house was exactly as described.  Situated in a perfect location for our weekend family wedding.  A quick Uber ride to any place downtown. 
Would definitely stay there again.  Thanks for a great weekend!!

4814446,51723560,2015-10-24,18338726,Nick,This was a great location with a very hospitable host. Easy to communicate with and easier check in/out details. Beautiful home that accommodates plenty of folks and we walked in and out of downtown Austin easily. Would definitely recommend. 
4814446,52213110,2015-10-27,14645246,Drew,"What a great Austin experience!  My friends and I came to Austin for a long weekend to watch the Formula 1 race so we needed something in a great location.  Pallu's house was modern, clean, and beautifully located in East Austin.  Pallu made everything easy on us from Check in to Check out and dropped us a text everyday to make sure we were having a great time.  She's as a nice of a host as you can ever hope to have and her house is awesome.  If you're coming to Austin, this place will definitely not disappoint!  "
4814446,52847532,2015-11-02,44505176,Tanner,Great Stay! Awesome location with many local spots within walking distance.
368156,1020530,2012-03-19,775140,Richard,"Matt is simply a great person! I thank him for the wonderful room (and house), the hospitality, the wisdom and his lovely dogs.

If you're able to book and stay with Matt you're blessed as I was.

Thanks."
368156,1236274,2012-05-06,72465,Bethany,"This is a lovely and convenient place to stay. Matt is a builder and made this house. It is also tucked one block away from S. Congress Street where there are music venues and shops. I was also able to use a bicycle to get around and tour on my own, went to Barton Springs and around East Austin. I recommend. "
368156,1280661,2012-05-14,1008343,Andrew,"All was easy and smooth with Matt. Great house, friendly dogs and cats and easy walk to the heart of things in South Congress. I'd certainly recommend Matt's place. So much so, I'll be happy to stay here again next time I'm here in 12 months."
368156,1297283,2012-05-17,2190909,Sabine,Matt allowed us to stay at his house at a very short notice. We had a really good time in Austin and last but not least Matt's hospitality and his beautiful home were a great part of it. Matt was even generous enough to lend us his bikes for one day.
368156,1390336,2012-05-31,213947,Drew,"Our stay with Matt was fantastic.  His place is great, with a beautiful back yard and screened in porch, ideal for chilling out. It's also just off South Congress, so close to restaurants, food trucks, shopping and bars, but it still manages to feel like a private oasis. Matt was totally laid back and genuinely a nice guy.  He let us do laundry and gave us access to his bikes.  We had a wonderful time as his guests in Austin."
368156,1558892,2012-06-25,2526297,Will,"Matt's house was fantastic.  Amazing location and he was very accommodating throughout my stay.  If you are traveling to Austin, I would highly considering staying at Matt's house.  I have pet allergies and I did not have any problems while I was at his house."
368156,2209616,2012-09-05,518271,Andrew,"Just a few things of note that kept this from being an ideal stay:
- In the room where we stayed (the one closest to the door) the overhead fan was also connected to the overhead light. In order to cool the room off, we'd have to turn on the fan/light, which isn't the best option when you're trying to sleep. 
- Two dogs (listed under amenities), one of which is just a yapper, not a big deal. The other is a sizable St. Bernard(?), pretty aggressive at first (pounds on the door) but calms down eventually. It would have been nice to at least get a heads up about the dogs being on the aggro side, especially if you're someone who's not used to being around them.
- In our room we found the bed to have some issues with squeaking, even just moving around in our sleep, we'd wake up from the noise. For those who might be staying in that room, our quickfix was to push the bed against the wall.
- Our room had a feature which limited our privacy somewhat: a large opening above the door (presumably to increase the central air flow). It made it so it was hard to feel at ease, since whatever conversations we might be having or noise we might ve making could be heard by anyone in the living room. I think this oughta be noted in the AirBnB ad, since we probably wouldn't have taken it otherwise.
- When I mentioned the issue of the light/fan combo to Matt, he kind of shruggingly admitted that he was aware of the problem and needed to fix it, but didn't seem like it was high on his list of things to do at that moment. The bed squeaking also didn't get much of a reaction either.
- That said, it's a prime location, clean house and seriously cheap. and most all of these problems can either be remedied, or at least spelled out in greater detail in advance."
368156,2253767,2012-09-10,1254076,Goran,"Matt is an excellent host, eager to help and accommodate all guest requests. I am pretty sure that his good location, very nice interior setup and hospitality will bring him many more (happy) guests. And let's not forget to mention nice neighborhood and friendly pets, too.

I would highly recommend Matt's place if you are coming to Austin, and I would definitely stay there again.

Thank you Matt for helping us have a great 4 day vacation!"
368156,2377242,2012-09-22,2601587,Jordan,"Room was great.  As described, and very clean.  Bed was very comfy.  Matts house is great, and in a perfect location for Austin.  
Matt was really helpful and provided me with tips for places to eat, drink, and things to do in the area.  Highly recommend."
368156,2572783,2012-10-10,3495303,Chris,Matt's house is conveniently located a block away from SOCO.  His home is very beautiful and in a neat neighborhood.  We enjoyed our stay and his pets are super cute and sweet!.  
368156,2629858,2012-10-16,1644721,Matt,"My buddy and I went down to Austin for ACL this past weekend and stayed at Matt's place. The location was great and most days we walked to 6th street from Matt's place, which was really not that far. There was also a bus that would take you in, but the walk along South Congress was always enjoyable because of the number of shops / restaurants. 

The room and bathroom were clean and although we did not put it to use, the kitchen was really nice. Getting ""checked in"" was easy and we could come and go as we pleased using a code for the front door. 

Matt is an interesting guy with a lot of good stories from his travels. "
368156,2643960,2012-10-17,210554,Michelle,"Matt's place is so convenient to my favorite part of Austin - So Congress.  Even though I rolled in for only one night, he was a gracious host available to take any questions.  Getting in and out was a breeze.  The room I stayed in is modest and small, but it was perfect for me and I had my own bathroom.  The house is clean and beautiful and a great place to stay."
368156,2684892,2012-10-22,291034,Raquel,"I felt safe, secure, and comfortable in Matt's home. What a great host and an awesome location. I almost felt like I was in my own apartment as this room is separated from the other rooms in the house.  It was super easy to get to Matt's from the airport and it only cost $2! (Metro Flyer $1 leaves every hour and half hour from the airport to downtown, get off at 4th & Congress - cross the street and get the #1 bus for $1 heading south away from the capital) and then get off at Mary Street). Austin is definitely a bikeable city and Matt was cool enough to lend one of us a bike! He also had an air pump handy. Matt was pretty much gone the entire time, but when I did see him - he was friendly and informative. I will definitely book with Matt the next time I'm in Austin. Highly recommended!"
368156,2748669,2012-10-29,3719987,Adam,"We stayed in Matt's guest room while in town for a wedding. When we arrived Matt had everything ready for us, he laid out towels and guest toiletries for our use. Matt offered up restaurant reservations and was very welcoming to my partner and I. The house is gorgeous and impeccably designed. Matt has two  dogs and a cat which we enjoyed getting to pet and be around and they largely kept to themselves. However, if you have allergies to cats/dogs this may not be the place for you. 

Inside the room the bed is comfortable and the space is a little small, but  for the price you can't beat the location! Walking distance to all the great South Congress shops, eateries, and culture. This is the place you want to stay when your plan is to be out and about experiencing the best that Austin has to offer. We'd happily stay again. "
368156,2874728,2012-11-13,3464675,Kelly,"Matt's place was so convenient to South Congress and major bus lines. It was a quiet, peaceful place to stay. Matt had great advice on places to go running and things to see and do around town. When we were tired, it was nice that the living room was available to relax and watch a movie. It felt like a home away from home for the weekend."
368156,2925453,2012-11-20,2601849,Alex,"Excellent excellent excellent! Matt is awesome, house is awesome, animals were awesome, other guests staying that weekend in the house were equally awesome. You see the pattern here. We were there for inaugural Formula 1 race in Austin so of course everything was insane there. Matt was great and rode with us to the track the first day since he had tickets also. Showed us the best way to navigate Austin while sharing some good stories about himself. The city is amazing. Next day the other guests staying with Matt and me and my gf wanted to get some dinner. Matt's girlfriend arranged for us to eat at a place she had reservations, which was a great help on a weekend where everything restaurant was practically booked. I could go on, but I don't like writing very much. In any case, I am planning on staying here next year's race or anytime I am in Austin if that is saying anything. Thanks Matt.  "

368156,3046685,2012-12-08,4281099,Jeff,"Matt was a very friendly and hospitable host. All of my needs were met. The room and bathroom were spacious and clean. I had a desk and little side office to do work on and a comfortable bed to sleep in. The kitchen is gorgeous and convenient to the bedroom. He offered a bike with a lock to use, directions when needed, suggestions of places to go, and even an iron upon request. It was way better than staying in a hotel and walking distance to anything you can imagine. There are many of those unique-to-Austin food trucks and trailers all around on Congress and 1st and many venues, restaurants, bars, and shops within a couple minutes of a walk. Even downtown Austin is walk-able. I highly recommend this place to any visitor of Austin as a tourist or business traveler. "
368156,3071416,2012-12-11,4301774,Janet,"I had a great time staying with Matt! His place is clean, beautifully decorated, and located in the heart of the South Congress shopping district. And Matt was friendly, interesting, and super hospitable. I would gladly stay with Matt again for a future visit."
368156,3099780,2012-12-16,4282236,Marco,"It was a wonderful stay. Matt's place is clean, quiet, safe and in the middle of everything. The bed was very comfortable and the wifi super fast. The bathroom is really nicely done and clean, and Matt even put out some luxury toiletries and towels. The inside of his home is gorgeous as is his back yard. Matt is genuinely nice and made me feel comfortable and at home. 

I Highly recommend.staying here."
368156,3136576,2012-12-22,1330261,Ritu,"Thanks Matt for having us over! The place was wonderful and the room was clean. It was really nice to have our own bathroom. Matt was a great host and made us feel very comfortable. He is well traveled and knowledgable about Austin local scene. He also offered me some great tea. :) Would stay there again during our travels and will recommend it to our friends.

"
368156,3202812,2012-12-31,4460316,Margaux,"Matt is a perfect host, and his beautiful house is in a great location.  We liked his neighborhood so much that we spent most of our time within walking distance of the house, and the downtown is only a mile walk away.  We enjoyed meeting Matt so much, and we hope that Matt visits us in Ohio soon.  Oh, and we miss his pets."
368156,3253292,2013-01-03,269172,Swarat,"Overall we had a good stay. The room is tiny - smaller than it appears in the photo - but the bed was comfortable and we slept well. Location is great - highly walkable area. Matt's pets are very sweet and friendly, which is great as long as you like animals and don't mind having a cat come into your room from time to time. The bathroom is nice and clean. You might want to bring your own shampoo. "
368156,3324923,2013-01-10,4619969,Kevin,"Matt's great!  The room was tiny, but perfect for me and my girlfriend.  It had it's own bathroom and closet space (sort of).  I loved it, and would come back again."
368156,3401112,2013-01-23,4392782,Garrett,"My girlfriend and I wanted a place to stay and we sure did luck out with Matt! The original place we had reserved was overbooked, so Matt gave us the master bedroom in another location just a few blocks away still right off of South Congress for the same price. Matt was very concerned about our arrival and wanted to make everything perfect. A must stay!"
368156,3413730,2013-01-25,4176530,Cameron,Matt's place is right around the corner from everything that is happening on South Congress and a $10 cab ride home from 6th. I ended up meeting some new friends there and hanging out most of the night.
368156,3436358,2013-01-29,4456433,Mark,"Matt is an awesome host: Knowledgeable about the best places to go and sights to see. He has a well appointed and big house with friendly animals. The location is fairly close to downtown: 20 minutes walking or $7-10 taxi in 10 minutes will take you to the hot spots on Congress Street. It's a quiet neighborhood with architecturally interesting houses and the wonderful Magnolia Café just behind the house, open ""24/8"" for your convenience. Thanks for a great stay, Matt!"
368156,3474732,2013-02-04,4792447,Rose Lynn,"Location, location, (email hidden)r SoCo, this is great.  We walked everywhere, down to Sixth Street, too, for Esther's Follies (reservations highly recommended- Thurs, Fri, Sat nights only) . Great food, shops and music in walking distance.
Our room was small, but it worked.  Matt provided some nice coffee in the morning.  We wore ourselves out having fun!
Matt's house is very interesting, ask him how he did it!  Too many fun things to do, we will have to come back."
368156,3523047,2013-02-11,5003004,Mollie,"Sweet location, sweet pets, sweet dude. The house is awesome! Check out the stairs he built. South Congress is right there- you can walk to everything. The neighborhood is nice but still fun and funky. I would definitely stay again!"
368156,3640982,2013-02-26,633287,Ian & Ceylan,"Great experience, great guy. More hotel-like than homestay... but exactly what I was looking for.

Very efficient, I had no worries coming in (or need for a key or even meeting Matt in person, but I did, and he's great).
"
368156,3719185,2013-03-07,1227072,Joel,Great house conveniently located in a very cool part of town.   The host is a fantastic and accommodating guy and even stocks bikes to get around Austin.   The room is comfortable and secluded from the rest of the living areas opening into the kitchen.   I enjoyed it and will definitely stay again!
368156,3803624,2013-03-17,1226259,Colin,"Was down for the music portion of SXSW, the entry into the place was easy at all times w/o distrubing Matt.  Place was spotless, great facilities etc."
368156,3970341,2013-04-01,1432932,Danielle,"Matt's home was wonderful! INCREDIBLE location close to everything. Back from South Congress by just one block yet it's residential and cosy with mature trees and charming homes, Matt's included. Matt was a great host - there if you need him but not overly present. The room was small but just right for 1 (or 2 madly in love) and I had the bathroom to myself which was great! Honestly, I would go back in a second! Lovely home, terrific host, fabulous neighbourhood, and easy free parking. Incredible value for the money! Oh - and sweet pets, too!"
368156,4082093,2013-04-08,712590,Erin,Exactly what we wanted.  The place is beautiful and in the best location possible.  Matt was super friendly and easygoing.  I only wish we had been able to stay longer in Austin!
368156,4143526,2013-04-13,1969530,Jurate,"Matt was a relaxed and pleasant host. He waited for us when we arrived and the check in was straightforward. The house was amazing- spacious and very clean. We loved the house and the location. Our room had a private bathroom which was brilliant. The room itself is a little cosy- but given the price it was absolutely perfect. We did not spend much time apart from sleeping in the room anyway- so it was excellent! If we stayed longer we would have gone for a bigger room, but for 1 night it was just right. The pets were the cutest and very friendly as well. We really enjoyed Matt's house and we'd stay there again anythime if he'd have us :) "
368156,4304388,2013-04-26,3615334,Jason,"I don't know where to start. Everything was perfect. The location is exactly where I wanted to be, within walking distance of daylife and nightlife on S. Congress and 1st Street. Matt's house is beautiful, well kept, and fully equipped. His dog and cats were sweet and friendly. And Matt was as helpful as can be when I needed it, and made me feel at home in his home. Matt even found a room for an extended stay for a friend of mine who was visiting Austin while looking for an apartment there.  

This home has several rooms available and I had some great conversations with other people traveling solo. Matt has other properties in the neighborhood also available on Airbnb and if they're anything like this place I'd have to highly recommend them too.  "
368156,4729349,2013-05-22,5500050,Leontien,"It was a great experience to stay at Javier and Matt’s place. We felt comfortable and very welcome in their lovely house. We will come back when we are in NY!
We recommend this place! 
"
368156,4851717,2013-05-28,6511783,Andrea,"We had a great time staying here, and would definitely stay at Matt's place again. The location was absolutely perfect for visiting downtown Austin-everything you need within walking distance! I definitely recommend renting a room here."
368156,5220608,2013-06-18,6405606,Shawna,"If you are visiting Austin STAY HERE! The place is amazing and very comfortable and the location could not be better. Walking distance to SoCo district dozens of restaurants and bars and if that's not your scene 6th street and Rainey street are about a 15 minute walk away also. Matt was an excellent host as well, we was timely in his responses and recommended some very cool places for us to visit. This was my first time using AirBnB and it was a great experience. "
368156,5615784,2013-07-08,7001340,Elise,This was an excellent location for exploring Austin.  Downtown was  a 2 minute bike ride away and South Congress is such a cute little street with shopping and eateries galore.  The room was just enough for adventuring all day and returning to rest up for the next.  A little warm but that can't be helped in Austin in the summer. Matt was a friendly host who provided everything we needed.  
368156,6938569,2013-08-31,7575870,Phil,"Great place.  Matt was very accommodating, even let me arrive a few days early.  I stayed here when I first moved to Austin and it was a great location for getting a good feel for the area.  Room was spacious enough for all my stuff - just the stuff I had in my car.  Matt was great about me being there for a month.  "
368156,7145628,2013-09-08,8283908,Natasha,"Beautiful home and really good location near to lots of shops, bars, restaurants etc. Also very easy to catch a bus to downtown from here."
368156,7268432,2013-09-13,7101557,Simon,"This place is gorgeous and Matt was a great host.  The house is stunning, clean, comfortable, and in one of the best locations in Austin - many cool things to walk to (good food - including a 24 hour diner literally steps from the house - fun shops, and more).  I spent most of my time downtown for work and it was a nice 20 minute walk (or 5-10 minute bike ride) or $7 cab ride.  I could've spent a whole month in that house - loved my room, the common areas, kitchen, and the back yard.  Stay here - you'll be glad you did!"
368156,7383690,2013-09-17,7969791,Bart,"We got a nice room (C) in Matt's amazingly beautiful house, which is perfectly located in a quite street just off SoCo.  "
368156,7739888,2013-10-01,1223023,Stephen,"I regret that I must give Matt (and Airbnb) a failing grade. Here’s the bright news: Matt is a nice guy, his house is great, a nice front porch swing, and beautiful common areas. The location rocks, easy access to running trails, 6th Street, and good food is literally just around the block (try Chili’s Café on S. First & Annie for the best salsa ever). Why the failing grade? (1) He lost the reservation. Although I had booked his place long in advance, reconfirmed shortly after booking, and then reconfirmed again about a week before arriving, Matt called me 5 minutes before I arrived on foot to tell me that my room was being rented by someone else. (2) His offer to have me sleep in an under-construction bathroom was uncool. When Matt advised about the error, I thought for certain that we could find a way to make this work. His first suggestion was offering me an alternative room - what he called the “attic” (photo available on request). It was an unfinished bathroom tucked into the eaves of the house: no flooring, no door, no finished walls, no lighting, no anything. The attic will be great when finished but suggesting that tossing down a mattress on the floor beside the toilet was asking for too much flex from a guest. (3) The end resolution unsatisfactory. I ended up staying with a friend for that night because I was skittish about Matt’s second offer to stay at a different house on the opposite side of town. Making sure that I wasn’t charged for the night was too much effort (Airbnb was zero help on this point). (4) I missed the insider insights that usually come from staying local. In other Airbnb-places, the host has an insider guide, gives a tour of the property, explains what is available at the house and elsewhere, and just imparts that local knowledge that makes the whole experience cool. Those things were missing here. Even after I got the room I booked (on the second night), the check-in was later than promised, there were weird negotiations taking place (such as, maybe I didn’t need all the bedding for the room?). If you book here (and I’m not suggesting not to, Matt is a genuinely nice guy and his house is great especially for ACL or SXSW), take precautions. Confirm the booking by phone, be specific about the time you are arriving and call him to make sure he will be there, be proactive at all times if something is amiss, and don’t expect Airbnb to assist. Austin is a fun city and having to worry about whether you have a place to sleep is not how I envisioned using my short time there. Even though this is not a positive review, I might try Matt’s place again in the future the next time I’m back in Austin. We all make mistakes – I just can’t pretend that my Airbnb stay was something it..."
368156,8246521,2013-10-21,676108,Sarah,"On a whim my boyfriend and I took a detour to Austin for a weekend while en route to the Grand Canyon. We were looking for a last minute affordable room in a good area and came to the right spot. The house is beautiful and while the rooms are basic, it's clean,  quiet, and within walking distance of South Congress. "
368156,8383280,2013-10-28,4938446,John,"Had a great stay in Austin! Matt's house is lovely, clean and quiet, and in a very cool neighborhood just off South Congress Avenue, a pretty hip part of the city. Easy access to downtown.

The room was great - the private bath was a huge plus, and the unique setup was pretty perfect for one person. It's a new room, and wasn't quite finished, but that's because I was desperate for a place to stay and Matt was kind enough to accommodate me on short notice. Still, it was very comfortable and very private.

Didn't actually get to meet Matt because I was in and out frequently, but he made sure I knew I had free run of the house (aside from other guest rooms, of course) and felt right at home.

Would definitely recommend."
368156,8693629,2013-11-12,2917489,Claire,"I really enjoyed my stay here, and would definitely recommend this place to others. It's a really lovely house, and the location is perfect IMO: you're literally right behind South Congress, (which incidentally was a much nicer place to go out than East 6th St!) so a few minutes walk from various restaurants/bars etc. There's also a bus route there that takes you downtown in 10-15 minutes. You can walk there in about 30 minutes.

I didn't see too much of Matt, but he's a really friendly and helpful host should you need any advice or have any problems.

I had room B, which was comfortable and clean - as was the en suite bathroom. It might be worth noting that this is downstairs next to the communal areas (kitchen/lounge/laundry room) so if you're a really light sleeper this is something to bear in mind. I didn't have any problems with this though as the other guests were really considerate when I was there :)

I look forward to coming back to Austin and will definitely stay here again if I can."
368156,9140566,2013-12-09,4888658,Michelle,Awesome location in the heart of South Congress. Matt has a very nice house with a short walk to many attractions. He's a great host. I'll look for his place again when I'm back in Austin. 
368156,9298619,2013-12-19,213994,Sandy,"Matt's house was better than expected. The location is ideal. 

Short walk to all things on S. Congress as well as S. 1st Ave.(5 min.) which I did not even know about. Don't miss this for some great restaurants - Sway, Chile, Bouldin Creek Cafe and more.

He keeps it very clean - someone came into clean many times in the week. A large equipped kitchen is available - but there is so much great food nearby that we never had a chance. He had coffee avail. for us as well as spring water, this was perfect and all we needed. It turned out to be a cold week and rained one day. Matt provided large umbrellas which allowed us to continue our exploring much more comfortably.
 His house is walking distance to downtown, parks, music, and food. Downtown is only a 20 min. walk straight up Congress & with a bus station a short block away if needed. I like to walk alot to explore so could go so many places from here easily. Even if you go further to Zilker Park or downtown and there are buses - if it is a busy event it was great to be able to walk home without having to find a taxi or even wait for a bus. 
Pleasant streets to walk along and Austin is very safe, friendly and clean. Also was nice to be able to stop in the The Continental Club on the way home - always great music everyday & night so it was great to hear anyone playing there - approx. 3 different shows a night, and The Gallery right next door. Go listen to anyone playing.
Actually we felt like we had the whole house to ourselves - there are 3 rooms but all in different parts of the house, Matt was there if we needed him or called, but everything was readily available so really no need. He was very nice when we met him and gave us some good ideas. There are also bikes available but it was too cold. Lots of sitting areas in the house and yard.

The bed was comfortable and nice pillows. There is an extra office type room connected to the room (not shown) that was really helpful to have. We put our suitcases there and a counter for our laptop - really good to have this space. We had our own bathroom right next to the room and plenty of towels.
I will definitely stay here again and recommend it for any stay in Austin.
Much better location than staying downtown . Downtown is good to visit but SOCO is better to hang out in.
Matt provides a great alternative to a hotel - and it's a great neighborhood to walk around, lots of interesting houses to look at.
Thanks Matt! Hope to see you again."
368156,9559383,2014-01-02,8497591,Matt,If you're looking for a host that just lets you do your thing this would be a good option to consider. The place has two friendly cats and a big kitchen incase you want to cook something.
368156,10241658,2014-02-08,11654748,Julianne,The reservation was canceled 20 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
368156,10299102,2014-02-11,11495633,Tara,"My partner and I stopped in Austin for two nights on our way to Portland, OR and Matt's house was a perfect stepping stone to our next destination. We had a car packed full of stuff and were a little nervous about leaving it parked on the street, but felt pretty safe once we got there. Parking was no trouble at all and our car was secure the whole trip. 

It was also a breeze getting in and out of the house at any time. Although there are a lot of rooms in the house, we certainly felt a good sense of privacy in room B. The best part for us was that the trendy, fun South Congress and S. 1st areas were a safe and quick walk from Matt's place. Also, his cats are adorable.

Overall, the location was absolutely perfect, the house was lovely, and the room was exactly what we needed!"
368156,10449931,2014-02-19,118171,Michaela,"This was one of the best vacations that we have taken in a long time! The place was perfect, close to everything, and Matt was great when our flights got cancelled due to weather about finding us another room in the house that was available! Thanks for making it great!"
368156,10570912,2014-02-25,860998,Arno,"Wonderful house with character in a great neighborhood of Austin! Matt is a very responsive yet easy-going host. While the room is on the smaller side, the kitchen and living room have plenty space to hang out. Everything's super clean. 
Great base camp to explore the city, some great spots within walking distance."
368156,11177450,2014-03-24,2078801,Tim,"perfect location.   we couldn't have found a better spot in the city - great coffee, shopping, tacos, breakfast within a 5 minute walk.  house was clean and nicely decorated. "
368156,13287853,2014-05-24,15318247,Tom,"First time using airbnb and a fine experience. This house, just off South Congress, is wonderful. Clean and tasteful. The sitting areas are quite comfortable and compliment the rooms. I stayed in ""A"", large enough for one or two but would have felt small but for the common areas available to guests. Nice back patio area as well. The location is ideal for browsing on South Congress, good restaurants and a great jazz place, the Continental Club, within walking range. "
368156,13525715,2014-05-29,1096690,Russ,Great place to stay. Very clean and in a really fun neighborhood. Walking distance to all of of the good spots on Congress. Highly recommend.
368156,14290753,2014-06-16,15422930,Angie,The area/location was absolutely great!!! The house was very nice and we felt very comfortable. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Matt but felt right at home. I did feel the room we stayed in was spacious enough for us but it was a little warm during the night. This was our first airbnb stay and it was a great experience. Definitely recommend Matt's place!
368156,14839506,2014-06-27,16353723,Shervin,"Fantastic stay! Matt was a great host and the location is perfect. Walking distance to all the spots on South Congress and even a bike share station, where you can rent a bike and see the city that way. Street parking was convenient. Matt's home is beautiful and I'll certainly be staying there next time I come to Austin. Thanks Matt! "
368156,16717332,2014-08-01,6260994,Michael,Matt's home was great and made for a very comfortable stay. The location is excellent. 
368156,19560090,2014-09-14,13732816,Mitzi,"Matt is very accomodating. He wasn't there but he would answer his phone and any texts I sent right away. 
The room E is small and there is a bathroom in the room. For those who may care there is not a door to the bathroom.  The kitchen is nice. No microwave but there are pots and pans. 
The house is very nice and clean. Right behind magnolia cafe. If you're looking to walk around south congress this is the place to stay."
368156,19772266,2014-09-18,2198060,Noorah,Great location. Clean house and room. Room fit for single traveller which met my needs.

Though Matt and I never met in person he quickly replied to texts and always led me in the right direction. Neighborhood was fun to explore, and his home was quiet and cozy. I was grateful to stay here while in town on business."
368156,21571684,2014-10-19,22655580,Jacob,A great location. So many places within walking distance. Overall a great experience.

368156,23654682,2014-12-07,24125063,Tracey,Matt was easy to deal with and responded to my communications promptly. The accommodations were true to description and photos and the location was ideal for experiencing Austin. A definite on my return list. 
368156,24191195,2014-12-22,21803124,Paul,"A very small but practical room (B) in a nice large home in Austin. As described, it is right behind South Congress and walking distance to South 1st and downtown and only a $5-$10 uber to the bars etc. of East 6th. 

There is a large kitchen and lounge for use and it seemed like each room (I think there were around 6 total) had its own private bathroom. There are also a couple of friendly cats. 

Matt was friendly and helpful, but does not actually live there so you will be alone/with other travellers. This also means you should contact him ahead of arrival so you can check in. 

Would recommend and stay again. "
368156,24506726,2014-12-29,12605677,Roy,"The house was very clean and tidy and looks just like the pictures. Great location! There are two awesome cats that live here!

The bathroom is not connected to the room, so you will have to walk through the kitchen to get to it.

Never met Matt in person, only had two quick conversations on the phone.

"
368156,24861704,2015-01-03,14844391,Jack,"This is a beautiful house in a great location very close to the interesting stores and restaurants on South Congress. There are 5 or 6 rooms here which were all occupied at some point during our stay which gave the big kitchen and living areas a nice social hostel feel over NYE. There are two cats which are fairly pleasant. We didn't actually communicate much with Matt at all, but we didn't need him for anything, so that was fine. Our room itself was basic, and the shower wasn't great, but they were minor issues.

We'll almost certainly be staying here again (if available) next time we're in Austin."
368156,25211394,2015-01-09,24813012,Tara,"Had a great stay the house was very central and in close walking distance to lots of bars, restaurants and shops. The house was warm, spacious and homely. Only improvement I would have liked is the water pressure was a bit weak, but not a big deal. Felt very comfortable here, would love to stay again."
368156,25752070,2015-01-25,11464318,Melissa,"The house is in a great location, just a block away from many stores on SoCo. Our room was cozy, the kitchen is beautiful. Backyard is nice, but the weather was a bit chilly so we didn't get to use it. Cats are awesome. Didn't meet/see  the host during our stay, but he was responsive to texts. Only issue? The plumbing in the bathroom isn't the best. 

We would stay here again if we go back to visit Austin."
368156,27341810,2015-03-02,14415257,Scott,"Great spot, very well located. Tons to do, see, and eat within walking distance. Beautiful house, beautiful kitchen. Several other rooms in the house were being Airbnb'd and met some other nice guests. 

I only met Matt very briefly on the second day of our stay, but he was helpful and responsive via text. He also responded extremely quickly to my booking request, which is always appreciated.

Two small thing to note: 
-the room is described as private with a private bath. The room is a little separated from the others, but is directly off of the kitchen and there were often other guests there making food, coffee, etc. This wasn't an issue for us at all, but deems clarifying. 
-Also, the private bath isn't private (I imagined it being accessible only through the bedroom, but that's not the case). Again, this wasn't really an issue as there were plenty of bathrooms in the house, but it was unfortunate timing that just as we arrived at the Airbnb, another guest stepped out of our ""private"" bath having left a stinker behind."
368156,28434380,2015-03-23,7975412,Andrew,Awesome house- beautifully kept. Really nice place to stay. 
368156,28642653,2015-03-28,13676887,Stephanie,"Our stay in Soco was great. Matt's house was right off South Congress  so only steps away from so many great shops, restaurants and bars. The room was small but had a study inside which made it easy for us to put all our stuff. 
We never met matt but he answered any questions promptly. 
Would definitely stay again!"

In walking distance of SoCo restaurants, bars, etc. Shared the house with other airbnb guests; our schedules didn't overlap too much so felt like I had the place to myself. Matt was responsive but I didn't meet him. "
368156,32827285,2015-05-22,9016731,Tien-Tien,"Perfect location.  Easy parking. Beautiful home. Note that this is a two story home with several rooms on AirBnB so it does have that communal, hostel type feel to it. This room in particular is very small and has just enough space for the bed, a small desk, and space to put your luggage.  Don't expect to hang out there.  Fortunately, the beautiful kitchen is just outside the room so that's where you can sit and relax. "
368156,33144288,2015-05-25,32447829,Jorge,"Very cute house, well kept, clean ( pictures are accurate), big kitchen with all the cooking utencils u will need.  Location is perfect just off s congress.  U can walk down s congress to zilker park or downtown easily. Very very friendly cat!  
The owner is easy to reach n will reply quickly. "
368156,33922795,2015-06-02,31825632,Lana,"Amazing neighborhood and beautiful home. We couldn't have been more happy with our choice. It worked perfectly for a long and relaxing weekend. The home is a block off the main super-hip SoCo neighborhood and close enough to the downtown bar scene, eastside and Rainey St. that walking/taking a cab was incredibly effortless. Matt was a great host and we would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!"
368156,35047189,2015-06-14,35529375,Eric,"We had a great time in Austin. The location, next to South Congress was great and very walkable. We walked and jogged through the adjacent neighborhoods and really enjoyed the trails along the river. 

The house was very clean, beautiful kitchen area. We didn't meet Matt, but everything went smoothly. The room was small but certainly enough for our needs. A good room in a great location. Austin is awesome. "
368156,38232936,2015-07-13,37994599,Johnathan,"This was a great house! The kitchen was big and beautiful and I felt right at home. Next time I travel to Austin i will look no further for a nice clean house in a great location.

368156,41647920,2015-08-08,1823143,Alexandra,"The host did not reply to my message regarding check in time. When we arrived at the time I had given, he was not there. I tried calling him numerous times and just got an answerphone. After standing outside the property for over an hour in the 100 degree heat I had to give up and book a hotel. Not what I would expect either from airbnb or a host themselves. Later he messaged me with a scant apology saying he had  fallen asleep. Very disappointing behaviour. "
368156,45005739,2015-08-30,35837007,Claire,"Matt's home was absolutely beautiful and incredibly clean. The location was perfect, one block off of SoCo made it very easy. We didn't meet Matt but he was very responsive if we needed anything. The room we stayed in was a little warm but he had no issue with us turning the air conditioning down a couple of degrees. Great place and I would recommend to anyone who wants to explore the South Congress area of Austin. "
368156,46839477,2015-09-13,13108978,Colin,Very nice house in a wonderful location. Matt was a great host - responsive to our questions.

368156,51430498,2015-10-20,4608091,Laura,"Great location - right near the wonderful shops and eateries of South Congress and S 1st street, whilst also being on a pretty, quiet residential street. 
The house is beautiful and we had the place to ourselves the whole time. "
8067300,45889592,2015-09-06,29990908,Allison,"The guest house was perfect for me. Minutes from downtown, convenient parking, very nice amenities. The hosts couldn't be nicer and more concious of my privacy. I plan to stay again when I need to be in the area!"
8067300,47936334,2015-09-21,42645431,Tom,"Gloria was an amazing host! Easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Any question I had she was easy to get in touch with and responded pretty quickly. This was my first experience with Airbnb and all I can say is that I am completely sold. You definitely see me using it again in the near future. Her place was very well maintained and very clean. She provided many basic items in our stay which was very nice. Basic items being mouth wash, shampoo, towels, and even water. I really liked her place and location so I couldn't ask for more. You won't go wrong in having her as your host. "
8067300,48470329,2015-09-26,3949729,Michael,"Beautiful place, very private, clean, and well appointed!  Plenty of nice touches like a complimentary toothbrush and fresh coffee.  Gloria promptly answered all of my questions and made me feel welcomed."
8067300,49481553,2015-10-04,43310322,Carol,"My family and I enjoyed our stay in Austin, the Hyde Park Guest House felt like home in a sense

The listing description and pictures were on point, we were very happy with the guest house.   

The neighborhood was quiet, I was concerned due to the guest parking is in the back of the guest house alongside of the alley way.   But nothing happened and it was safe"
8067300,50475351,2015-10-12,8643766,Mark,"Gloria... What a lovely lady. Very welcoming. She didn't hassle us and her 
communication was great. 
The apartment is in a quieter part of town but with a useful local store.  About a $10 cab ride from downtown. 
Thanks again Gloria "
8067300,51150751,2015-10-18,43806891,John,"The Guest House is located scant minutes from the UT campus and downtown. Very convenient. We found it to be clean, quiet and comfortable and as described in the listing. Neighborhood amenities are more than adequate; we had dinner at one of the restaurants Gloria suggested (Vino Vino, a wine bar easy walking distance from the Guest House) and it was excellent. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin."
8067300,51766001,2015-10-24,45322116,Courtney,"We thoroughly enjoyed out two nights at the Hyde Park Guest house. Accessing the property was as easy as Gloria's instructions indicated, and inside the controls for AC, lights, fans, etc. were clearly labeled. There was plenty of space and we had everything we needed. It was really convenient to have adjacent parking included. This was our first airbnb experience and it couldn't have gone better."
8067300,52070523,2015-10-26,43373400,Shannon,"Gloria's guest house is lovely and provides the ideal Hyde Park residential experience. Everything is well considered, especially linens and travel sundries. When traveling to Austin again, I would definitely check for availability."
5715912,32436846,2015-05-17,30532157,Helena,"Angie was a phenomenal host who made us feel completely welcome in her home from the moment we stepped inside the door. She gave good recommendations for places to visit and was able to answer any questions we had.

She was fantastic at communication prior to our visit, the room was very clean and the bed comfy and she invited us to join the plans she had with her friends.

Housemates were very welcoming also and great to spend time with. Would definitely recommend staying here for like minded people who are wanting to be close to downtown Austin and enjoy meeting fun people."
5715912,42390898,2015-08-13,2446890,Zuly,Angie was very accommodating and her room was very comfortable. Most of the other roommates were friendly and helpful. This room is located in a student housing complex. Angie was not in town while I was there but she messaged me to check up on how my stay was going and was very sweet when we met. It was a pleasant stay. 
5715912,49720290,2015-10-05,44784190,Kaylee,"Staying in Angie's room was perfect! The room and bed were a nice size, and very clean. It was only a bus and shuttle ride way from ACL so it was all around convenient. "
1401705,6337453,2013-08-08,2589693,Lane & Kate,"I really, really enjoyed my stay at Chalu's place. She is an incredibly accommodating host and is the best sort of person Austin has to offer. Her place was very clean, the bed was comfy, and her place is beautifully decorated! Her place is located in a really nice, quiet neighborhood, but it's just a minute away from the three major highways in Austin.

Chalu is a world-traveller herself, so she'll know what you need to make the best of your stay. I warmly recommend her to any respectful guests who are coming to Austin for events, business, or just to see this great city!"
1401705,6678828,2013-08-20,2029025,Clem,I had to find last minute accommodation and Chalu was quick to respond. Very nice clean house and comfortable bed. Chalu was an excellent host. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend her as a host and as a person. Thanks Chalu!"

1401705,11340972,2014-03-30,13394725,Jasmine,"Our stay was truly short, but the most comfortable we've had compared to other places. Chalu was such an awesome host! Super nice woman too! She totally made sure we felt at home, super comfortable. The place was nice and super clean, she gives you privacy, and is accessible to any questions or needs you might have. It was the little details that got me and my friend thinking ""Wow, this is way better than staying at any hotel, we wouldn't get this kind of treatment there""... She took the time to get to know us a little bit and shared about herself too and that made us feel like we weren't just another booking, she gave us suggestions of places to check out and she was right on on the suggestions...pretty awesome! I honestly recommend you to stay with Chula next time you're in Austin, a better place to stay you will not find! I know I will:))) "
1401705,11460332,2014-04-03,3031154,Julie,"I was visiting Austin for just one night and this was a great location! Chalu was a pleasure to talk and interact with.

Great room, I slept like a log. I didn't spend much time in the house except to sleep but it was very clean and well furnished. She also gave me a list of Austiny things to do, which was a great reference to have. Definitely recommend staying here and will definitely seek her out again if I need a place to stay!"
1401705,21976191,2014-10-27,5636605,Stanton,"I didn't get to spend much time with Chalu (I arrived late Friday night, left early Monday morning, and Chalu happened to be traveling), but I really enjoyed talking with her! Despite being away, the check-in and -out process were super easy; Chalu messaged me a day or two before with instructions. The house was great, guests are allowed access to the kitchen which is convenient for making a few meals instead of eating out everyday.  The location was excellent for my stay--approximately 15 minutes to the airport, and 10 minutes to downtown Austin, relatively short in Texas-terms."
1401705,22286706,2014-11-02,12266822,Ranjit Koshy,I did not stay here as my airbnb verification fell through. But chalu was helpful throughout the way as I was trying to book the room. Excellent communication and helpful. Sorry that I couldn't stay there though..

1401705,23261881,2014-11-26,1417829,Lara,"Another excellent Airbnb experience! I felt at home right when I walked in. Although Chalu was not home when I arrived, she left very detailed instructions about how to access the house, find my room, login to WiFi, etc. She also left some great suggestions for places to eat, drink and explore. My room was cozy, the bed was comfortable, the linens were clean, and there was even a robe for me in the closet! I was the only guest that evening, so I had the bathroom to myself, which was nice. I met Chalu briefly that night and she proved to be friendly and a great conversationalist. We chatted more in the morning, and as fate would have it, I've actually ended up renting one of her nearby properties! I highly recommend staying with her--fun, experience. "
1401705,23565291,2014-12-04,6242827,Brian,"Chalu was a great and accommodating host with my late arrival and has an incredible home!

Will definitely be booking again if needed. "
1401705,23620913,2014-12-06,20014840,Elliot,"Chalu was very welcoming. We were expecting two beds but in fact it was a double bed, but this was probably my or Airbnb's app's mistake; she offered an air bed anyway which was nice. She gave us a list of fun things to do and places to go around Austin, and even linked us to a party that was happening that night.

The room itself was nice and clean, no complaints. Overall a great experience!"
1401705,23984633,2014-12-15,696189,Cheryl,"Best Air BNB experience ever! Chalu is such a cool and very warm person, she made me feel at home immediately and even invited me out with her one evening.

I hope to return to Austin and I very much hope that I when I do that I can stay with Chalu!"

1401705,25732822,2015-01-24,26248903,Natalie,"This is a nice middle class neighborhood.  I felt very safe.  There is a school in the area.  My conference was at the Holiday Inn located at I35 and 290.  It took just 5 min. to get Chalu's house.  Chalu maintained great contact.  You can tell she is very generous in spirit.  She left instructions in the mailbox, so I knew just what to do.  The home was as described and as depicted in the photos.  It was very clean.  The other guests were so quiet you'd never know they were there!  "
1401705,27041119,2015-02-23,6576559,Jenna,"Chalu was warm and welcoming, provided very clear info and a full tour of the place upon arrival.  She really helped me out with a place on short notice which I truly appreciate.  She has a smooth operation that makes it easy to feel right at home in.  She even moved a little desk and chair into the room for me upon request so I could get some work done.  I felt I had privacy, security, fun, and a great little guide of the city provided for me during my stay.  I also had the chance to get to know Chalu and her friends and one of the other tenants during my stay which was a fantastic bonus.  Altogether wonderful experience.  Highly recommended!"

I will highly recommend this place. "
1401705,44265863,2015-08-24,40998943,Omar,"Chalu and her home is exactly what's advertised, FANTASTIC. As a first time Airbnber, I wasn't sure what to expect but Chalu made this experience a great one. She greeted me with a smile and welcoming energy. The house is pretty close to downtown so it made Ubering inexpensive. She provided a lot of great suggestions and resources. My room was clean, comfy and kept cool with that handy rotating fan. If you're visiting Austin and looking for a place near by, I definitely recommend staying at her home. Thanks again Chalu!"

Elizabeth no only provided a great, clean, stylish bungalow pad but she also lent us 2 bikes and a bike lock. Fantastic!

Oh, and she gave us great recommendations for dinner which lead us to a great dinner spot we would never have found on our own. Thank you Elizabeth!"
543363,2525105,2012-10-06,3598102,Brett,Awesome cafe right across the street and great area of town. Lots of sunlight and has privacy. Elizabeth is warm and easy-going. The bungalow made me feel like a true Austin local.
543363,2573613,2012-10-10,131311,Greg,"The location was perfect. Easy walking distance to all the fun stuff on South Congress, but far enough away that it was very quiet. The neighborhood is great. Feels very safe and comfortable (my partner Siobhan would have felt comfortable staying there on her own). AC in room very efficient and a welcome relief on a hot day. Cleanliness def. a top score. Although it has a cute vintage feel, it was very well looked after and clean. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure in shower. Loved the little table and chairs and the bed was comfortable."
543363,2650202,2012-10-18,2578304,Dalya,"Elizabeth's bungalow is a perfect base from which to explore Austin. The space is just perfect, the bed very comfortable, and communication with Elizabeth is prompt and gracious. Great place to stay."
543363,2712021,2012-10-24,431794,Tim,Superb location!  5 minute walk to South Congress Street where there are tons of restaurants/shopping/night-life.  Really easy in/out - no problem at all.  Elizabeth was really easy to work with!
543363,2761785,2012-10-30,3695801,Thom,"Ideal location for experiencing South Austin! 10 minute bike ride to Town Lake and the core of downtown, 5 minute walk to everything on South Congress and 1st street. Elizabeth was very responsive to our needs, let us use a couple of bikes, and always returned communications quickly. The apartment is just the right size for a couple; clean, bright and well equipped. "
543363,2843170,2012-11-09,3475218,Paul,"Amazing location in South Austin which is convenient to great restaurants, the SOCO strip and walking distance to Town Lake. The accomodations are unique and Elizabeth is a gracious and attentive host.  I highly recommend this listing for those interested in experiencing an authentic Austin stay. Also, for those vegertarians out there, The Bouldin Coffee House, Soup Peddlar (and juice bar) are literally across the street. Thanks Elizabeth!"
543363,2866249,2012-11-12,3908877,John,"Our first visit to Austin and first airbnb experience were both fantastic thanks to Elizabeth. She made us feel so welcome and helped us be ""locals"" for a weekend. From discussions about fabric stores to allowing us to borrow her bikes Elizabeth made us feel at home. The space is cozy, clean, and perfect for 2 people. The location is ideal for exploring everything Austin has to offer. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends."
543363,2893130,2012-11-15,4113105,Ana,"Great location, friendly host!"
543363,2973509,2012-11-26,4153368,Dianne,"We had a lovely overnight stay in Elizabeth's clean, cozy bungalow!  Super convenient location - close to everything, but tucked away in a safe and quiet neighborhood.  Elizabeth was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed.  Would definitely recommend.  :)"
543363,3018563,2012-12-03,4191761,Robin,"Great location! We enjoyed eating at the Bouldin Creek Cafe literally across the street on multiple occasions. We were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go, so left the car parked for over 36 hours! 

Elizabeth was always available but never hovering, very helpful and kind. The bungalow had all the basic amenities we needed and the bed was super comfy!"
543363,3048090,2012-12-08,917633,Lisa,"Elizabeth was easy to contact and extremely helpful.  The bungalow was very peaceful considering that there is a busy cafe across the street.   It's basic  but well equipped.  The linens and towels were wonderful.  The location is perfect for exploring SoCo, downtown and the surrounding areas by foot, bicycle or car.  It was fun to just walk the neighborhood which is full of cool shops and cafes.  We enjoyed our stay and would return again.  "
543363,3273999,2013-01-05,3571642,Adam,"Elizabeth's studio is in a great location with easy walking or driving access to different parts of the city - and it's a short walk to Torchy's Tacos a.k.a some top-shelf trailer tacos! My girlfriend and I stayed for eight days and were very pleased with the studio, which is small and cozy and has a very comfortable bed, linens, towels and kitchen implements as needed. We would happily stay at socohouse again."
543363,3459570,2013-02-02,1020454,Megan,"I was in Austin for work and wanted to stay someplace with an Austin vibe, close to the studio.  The SoCo Bungalow was perfect!  The Bungalow is in a great neighborhood and close to all the great SoCo Austin food and fun.  The Bungalow was clean and the bed and linens were very comfortable.  Elizabeth was easy to work and very response.  I would stay there again!"
543363,3479074,2013-02-04,1160925,Baron,"My girlfriend and I decided last minute to travel to Austin for Carnavale. Even while driving down we were looking for hotels and airbnb deals. Receiving at least 5 ""no can do""s for obvious reasons, we finally got a yes and were very happy with the result. Nestled very close to Bouldin Creek coffee house the little bungalow provided everything we needed to enjoy our short time in Austin. Elizabeth, the hostess, made sure the unit was ready with towels, clean sheets, cable, and internet. Parking is on the street though it's not generally a problem. The owner and the bungalow do share a wall, so you may hear them moving around a bit  and of course, the mirror is also probably true.  "
543363,3516496,2013-02-11,4714147,Mac,"Elizabeth was very accommodating, the place was clean and very private. I would recommend this place to friends and family, and I do plan to stay there again on my next trip to Austin. 

It is also very close to many shops and great restaurants.

Thanks Elizabeth!!

Mac"
543363,3568490,2013-02-18,3058343,Kate,Elizabeth's bungalow is the perfect homebase for exploring Austin. It is super comfortable and spacious and located in a fantastic neighborhood. We really enjoyed exploring South Austin. We will definitely stay with Elizabeth when we find ourselves in Austin again.
543363,3595675,2013-02-20,4951909,David,"Elizabeth's place is not only ideal for one or two persons, but the location is perfect for those looking to explore the best of what South Austin has to offer. It's walking distance to South Congress bars and restaurants and only a short bike ride to Zilker Park for those looking to check out the outdoors. If you're looking to spend most of your time around Downtown and South Austin, I highly recommend this charming bungalow!"
543363,3684343,2013-03-04,3881224,Nicole,"Thanks so much, Elizabeth.  Your studio was the perfect place to stay in Austin for the week.  I enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and loved that I could walk to many tasty places to eat (Sway, Uchi, Barley Swine, La Barbecue, South Congress Cafe).  Taking the bus to UT was a breeze and I appreciated your offer of a bike to use.  I'm sure I'll be coming back to Austin and I hope I'll be able to stay with you again."
543363,3719838,2013-03-08,1878729,Jenifer,"We had such a terrific stay at Elizabeth's South Congress Studio. It was clean, neat, and full of charm! As a host, Elizabeth was a terrific communicator and host - I would highly recommend this location if you are staying in Austin!!"
543363,3771022,2013-03-13,1612459,Alice,"This is an adorable studio, in a super cool area of Austin. It's one room with a double bed, although there's a slim sofa too; there's also a kitchen and bathroom, and it's airy and brilliantly located.

Elizabeth is an amazing host: efficient, friendly, generous - offered us the use of her two bikes, and drew maps with directions to Torchy's and similar. 

The location is amazing: opposite the Bouldin Cafe (great veggie food! Amazing breakfasts), and just a block away from the section of SoCo where the uber cool Hotel San Jose is, and cute bars and restaurants. Plus Allan's Boots, the best cowboy boot store I've ever been in.

The walk to central Austin - the convention center, Rainey St, etc - is about 30-40 mins, and it's a nice walk too. We didn't bother with the bus once, nor did we need a car.

Would go back in a heartbeat."
543363,3806845,2013-03-17,5067073,Chris,"this is what has been missing from my sxsw experiences before. A place that feels like my own retreat. It was close enough to everything I needed as far as venue, bus lines, restaurants, coffee shops and more. Extremely well kept and furnished. Everything I needed. Elizabeth was a very accommodating host. I would highly recommend. The property that this is on has just the right amount of seclusion and privacy while still feeling very much in the mix. Thanks so much!"
543363,3891227,2013-03-25,5176603,Mj,It is a cozy little place and Elizabeth is very kind. 
543363,3946148,2013-03-30,4265605,Ryan,"Great location near many restaurants, bars and funky shops on South Congress Ave.  The space is very clean and well apportioned, and the hostess very kind and accommodating.  "

543363,4173329,2013-04-15,5828189,Kevin,"We had a great experience staying at Elizabeth's SoCo studio. The location could not have been better for our trip purposes. Elizabeth was both prepared and hospitable. Beware, the bed is so comfortable you will not want to move. Thank you for everything Elizabeth! "
543363,4203603,2013-04-18,1762531,Michelle,Lovely home! Elizabeth was a great hostess and her place was very well situated to experience a lot of the best of what Austin has to offer.  Would DEFINITELY recommend her place to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable place near South Congress and South First.
543363,4227609,2013-04-20,3332469,Adam,"Great place. Walking distance to some great restaurants, shops, and parks. Walked downtown. Elizabeth was great, too. Highly recommended."

543363,4325672,2013-04-28,4612489,Kim,"Sweet little studio, walking distance to S. Congress area & hop skip jump to some of the hippest new restaurants on 1st St.  Elizabeth is both friendly/approachable/accomodating and yet mindful of your privacy.  "
543363,4336572,2013-04-29,3206390,Lauren,Clean and close to all the SoCo action. 
543363,4372203,2013-04-30,6061720,Laura,"Cannot complain. This location is premium, and happens to be across the street as my all-time favorite restaurant. It is the ultimate wind-down place, tucked away in beautiful Bouldin Creek."
543363,4564820,2013-05-13,5212987,Leslie,"I couldn't have asked for a better first Airbnb expreience. Elizabeth was a lovely host and her beautiful place is ideally located for travelers hoping to explore South Austin. The bikes she provides for guests allowed us to see so much more of the city than we would have on foot or paying for cabs. It's the only place I'll stay when I make it back to Austin. :)

Bouldin Creek Cafe across the street has great breakfast food, and you absolutely must get tacos at Torchy's on 1st. Also highly recommend spending an afternoon on Hotel San Jose's breezy patio and riding to Barton Springs for a dip.

Thanks Elizabeth!"
543363,4702430,2013-05-21,5063293,Kristy,"Elizabeth is very friendly and the apartment is charming.  Great location and she allowed us to use her bikes to get around.  Only downfall was the heat in the kitchen, but the air conditioning works great!"
543363,4788189,2013-05-26,5570252,Sarah,Great little place to stay! I had never been to Austin and was very pleased with the location- it was just far enough from downtown to feel comfortable and authentic yet just a short bike ride to city center ( there are two bikes available to ride! ) Great places to eat just blocks away. The bungalow is very cozy and clean- although quite warm inside during the hot weather months. Elizabeth was very sweet and communicative. I would definitely recommend this little house to anyone visiting Austin. 
543363,4936310,2013-06-03,5394035,Christine,"We loved our week at Elizabeth's studio and the location is perfect. A truly cozy way to experience lush, laid back South Austin like a local!"
543363,5002729,2013-06-06,2144687,Thomas,"We really enjoyed this little studio. The room is nicely decorated with a great bed. There is a small table and comfy couch. There is AC and wifi. The bathroom and kitchen are small but are really clean and have everything. The location is outstanding. Elizabeth is great - she lent us bicycles, made recommendations, and was really welcoming. She stays on the property and was readily available. "
543363,5111117,2013-06-13,5027523,Mariam,"Very cute place in a terrific location! So many yummy restaurants, shops, and things to do within walking distance. Easy in-and-out for the places we had to drive to. Great launching and landing pad for your visit in Austin. Clean and comfortable. Would definitely rent it again."
543363,5399587,2013-06-28,6668452,Todd,"Great host! Elizabeth is very nice and accommodating. The cottage is clean, cool, and wonderfully located. I couldn't have been happier with our choice."
543363,5480133,2013-07-01,4130875,Brian,Great location for soco exploring. Lovely cottage; sweet and quirky with lots of garden. Elizabeth was very accommodating and helpful. 
543363,5637295,2013-07-09,6354768,Rox,"Location was great and the bikes that were included really were an awesome addition.  We rode the bikes all over town. Bed was very comfortable and parking on the street was always easy. Bathroom could be updated (old tub, had to always hold the handle down/flush the toilet a couple of times)  but its not like we were expecting a luxury bathroom. All in all, we had a great time and there is a really delicious smoothie food truck across the street that I went to almost every morning. "
543363,5772144,2013-07-15,7017984,Steve,"Gracious host, great location, and nice atmosphere...I really enjoyed my stay."
543363,6083743,2013-07-29,2399575,Anna,"My husband and stayed with Elizabeth for 4 amazing days in Austin. Elizabeth is a great host, and really helpful and flexible. We will definitely recommend her to others. She has two bikes you can use to ride around Austin, which made sightseeing much easier. "

543363,6737122,2013-08-23,7730728,Bridget,"Elizabeth's studio was a perfect location for exploring South Austin during our trip. The neighborhood is cute, quiet, and close to South Congress and South Lamar, and the studio was clean and cozy. We really appreciated the bikes and got to see a much larger part of the city than we would have on just our feet. Thank you, Elizabeth, your studio left us wanting to come back to Austin again soon! "
543363,7050168,2013-09-04,8324073,Benjamin,Great little hideout for exploring south Austin...just what we wanted. 
543363,7131864,2013-09-08,4923556,Naomi,"Elizabeth's place is amongst the action, in a great spot. Would recommend for anyone wanting to be close to South Congress."
543363,7314144,2013-09-15,8563814,Rose,Elizabeth was very friendly and accommodating to my two girls traveling cross country from Rhode Island.  They loved staying with her and her recommendations were great.  They felt very at home and safe and loved the area.
543363,7355716,2013-09-16,4296969,Rhuju,"Great location and it was very easy to get the keys/return the keys to Elizabeth, which can sometimes be stressful with Airbnb!"

543363,7546412,2013-09-24,716148,Nate,"We stayed at Elizabeth's place for the weekend of my sister's wedding.  The place was clean, quiet, and comfortable.  Just what we needed for our busy weekend.  The location is perfect.  Close to South Congress and not as congested as other parts of the city.  Would definitely stay there again. "
543363,7701170,2013-09-30,8245496,Kendra,"Stayed here for a few days and had a great experience. Love the neighborhood - it's close to a lot of great local places to eat (boudlin creek cafe across the street), a street away from Congress, and a very short drive in to downtown. Elizabeth is a great host and is always available for any questions or things you may need. "
543363,7967602,2013-10-10,8382399,Marjorie,Stayed at Elizabeth's place for our two nights is Austin and it was awesome!  Great location - in a quiet neighborhood but very close to downtown.  Bouldin Creek Coffee House & Cafe is right across the street and they have great vegan options.  Easy to communicate with her and the space was super cute.  Would definitely stay there again !!
543363,8433854,2013-10-30,325645,Scott,Excellent!!  Elizabeth was a great host!!  The room and bed were extremely comfortable.  Bouldin  Creek Coffeehouse across the street.  Location great and close to everything if you are a traveller from other parts.  The Lone Stars in the fridge were a major treat!
543363,8812503,2013-11-19,7022659,Meri,A perfect retreat for a busy F1 weekend
543363,9601374,2014-01-03,6290776,Laurie,Great location! We were able to walk to South Congress. The apartment is small but has enough space for 2 people. The only downside is that there is no wifi. 
543363,10032686,2014-01-27,5628842,Morgan,"I stayed here for 3 weeks while working in Austin and loved it! The location is incredibly convenient and within walking distance to tons of restaurants, food trucks, trendy boutiques, and brunch spots. The place itself is small but nicely appointed, my boyfriend stayed with me part of the time, and it does get cozy with two people. It's more like a studio than a one bedroom. The kitchen has most of the basics, and the shower has plenty of hot water and good pressure. One note- the shower head is pretty low, so if you're taller than 5'6 you'll have to duck your head to get under it. There is no central heat, so if you're planning to stay when it's cold be sure to ask the hostess for an extra heater, currently, there's only one space heater. The hostess is not onsite but check in and check out were simple enough, just left the key under the mat. The neighbors were friendly and the space was exactly what I needed for my stay. I would absolutely stay here again and would definitely recommend the spot to a friend. I could not think of a better place to stay when getting to know Austin!"
543363,10238668,2014-02-08,11840215,Bryan,"Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at this studio apartment. It was a cold week in Austin last week and there is no central heating system in the unit to keep the temperature at a reasonable level. each night, I had to turn on a portable electric heater and it took all night to get the place to a reasonable temp. The bathroom and kitchen were very cold in the mornings as the small heater could not heat the entire unit.

The tenant in the back half keeps the TV pretty loud, and the second night, some friends showed up and pounded on their door at 1am. I will not come back to this space again."
543363,10559753,2014-02-24,6073688,Brandy,Cute place great location would definitely stay here again. 
543363,10725400,2014-03-04,6455281,Max,The studio was perfect location for any type of stay in Austin. Easy check in and out. 
543363,10899568,2014-03-12,9454124,Jeremy,"I had a lovely time in the studio.  It's spacious, airy and very well-located. Bouldin Creek Cafe is a stone's throw away and a gem. The other restaurants/food-trucks/shops on S. First and S. Congress are all a quick walk.  The neighborhood is great for a run or bike ride, and it's a short ride to downtown. Elizabeth was very easy to deal with on logistics, and quite responsive.  Thanks for a great stay!"
543363,11374282,2014-03-31,6562264,Shawna,"We had a great time during our visit. Elizabeth's place is comfy and in a great location. Just about 6 blocks from S. Congress, and lots of action on 1st. Everything was clean and the weather was perfect so we opened the windows. Even on a busy Friday and Saturday night it was pretty quite. Street parking. Would definitely visit again and recommend others stay here."
543363,11633644,2014-04-10,7593451,Virginia,"This studio was perfect for my boyfriend and I.  The bed was really comfortable, kitchen was great and perfect home away. We enjoyed how close it was to many different things to do, eat and see in Austin! There are no bikes but Austin has a lot of options for you to rent some. Walking from here is very easy too!! I will definitely stay here again.  Thanks for being so accommodating Elizabeth! "
543363,11790778,2014-04-15,11320804,Rebecca,"Great location, and clean place!"
543363,12615335,2014-05-06,2409919,Christine,"This was the most perfect place! It was exactly what my fiancé and I were hoping for. An adorable, clean little studio. The bonuses I really appreciated? Shampoo and conditioner already in the shower, a front yard with lawn chairs, and a neighbor with the most adorable frenchie! Also, the house next door is Elijah Wood's... Which was cool to say we stayed next to him. I was so happy with the neighborhood as well. Bouldin Creek cafe is right on the corner (killer Nutella mocha!), and there's tons of great restaurants / food airstreams along S1st street. You will not regret this awesome little cottage! "
543363,13635328,2014-06-01,1276855,Matt,"Elizabeth's place is lovely and perfectly located. It's really an ideal place to stay in Austin, and we'd love to come back."
543363,14667926,2014-06-23,16970095,Ashley,"The little studio was perfect for our needs. We only spent one night there, but it would be a great location if you had a few days. It was in a very walkable location but was still quiet at night. The room was very clean. We were never able to meet Elizabeth but she was very accommodating. "
543363,14996181,2014-06-30,16836035,Emily,"Awesome place, so cute and charming. Great neighbourhood too, loved it!"
543363,15776552,2014-07-15,17000463,Sara,"This studio was absolutely perfect! It's about a 10 minute walk to South Congress Street, which has just about anything you could want to eat. It's also directly across from a great vegan/vegetarian restaurant. It has a great little yard and plenty of windows for sunlight.Parking is street parking but it's not hard to find."
543363,16149990,2014-07-22,17525203,Jenna,Perfect for a weekend getaway! Great location and right across the street from Bouldin Creek. 
543363,17943090,2014-08-19,17423947,Richard,"Grateful that I chose to Stay here for the couple of weeks I was in Austin. Location is in the middle of it all and I enjoyed the Privateness.
Thank You for your warm Welcoming and providing all that was needed. "
543363,18807343,2014-09-01,13167788,Mallory,"Great little spot in Austin! Can't say enough good things about this rental. Perfect for my husband and I. Conveniently located (walking distance to South Congress). We had a rental car and street parking was never a problem. Bed was comfortable and shower had decent pressure. I've always stayed in hotels Austin (Driskell, Hotel San Jose) on other trips before and would definitely pick this cute bungalow instead. Not as glamorous but way better price and better to spend your money on doing things instead! 

Walk to our local favorites: South Congress Cafe, Uncommon Objects, Stag Men's Store, Hey Cupcake! food truck.

Note: There is air conditioning for the seasons that need it."
543363,19137747,2014-09-07,17188313,Jonathan,"Great location! Very comfy and cozy studio as presented in listing. While Elizabeth was not in Austin during our stay, she was very responsive and easy to reach, even calling to check in with us to ensure all was going ok.  Was especially accommodating with our need to store suitcases beyond standard check-out time which we very much appreciated. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend this place to others!"
543363,19690858,2014-09-16,5821311,Lauren,"This studio is in a great location but could be better if improvements were made. I'll start by saying the grounds need better up keeping, bushes and plants growing wild to the point that it's hard to find the entrance. Also directions on which apartment you're staying at were not clear so at 1am we were sneaking around to both doors trying to figure it out . Inside there is a definite odor when you first walk in. Lighting was bad considering there were numerous bulbs blown out in the one and only over head fixture in the living area. You'd assume that would be tended to as soon as the bulbs blew out. As far as the bathroom.. we stayed for 4 days and were only given one towel per person for the whole time and there are ants in the bathroom. Wifi didn't work and neither did the cable. When I emailed about the wifi I was told to move around to find it and when I emailed about the cable I never received a response back. Not asking for much but all these little things make the difference for a comfortable stay. Best thing about this apartment is the location otherwise I'd pass on it. "
543363,19885119,2014-09-20,4194735,Nick,"Nice place, great location"
543363,20087454,2014-09-23,17589807,Barbara,"When we arrived at the apartment we were alarmed to see that it had not been cleaned after the previous guests. Dirty dishes and towels, unmade bed, etc. Bummer. We called the host and we were assured that a cleaning service would take care of it. We left and returned several hours later to find that it had been cleaned. However, we arrived with cold groceries to a warm refrigerator, we had to go out and buy our own toilet paper (only part of a roll was provided),  the toilet barely flushed, and there was NO COFFEE MAKER :(
The photos showed a bed, but in reality the 'bed' was just 2 mattresses on the floor. 
The yard needed attention too. The grass was about a foot tall, and there were branches and debris in the middle of the yard. There was a lot of dog waste on the lawn as well.
Overall, the house just seems neglected...
On the plus side, the location is great.

543363,20739045,2014-10-05,17843880,Leslie,"It was so cute! And the perfect location. Walking distance to Magnolia Cafe, added bonus. "
543363,21207235,2014-10-13,12514849,Tessa,Cute little place. Great location for ACL. Easy walk home or a cheap taxi/Uber.  Great position close to SoCo and a short walk to Town Lake. On-street parking readily available. Nice neighbors. Very comfortable bed. Only suggestion would be for WiFi information to be more readily available for guests.
543363,21280569,2014-10-14,18232435,Cameron,Great location!
543363,21951062,2014-10-27,1312632,Nathan,"The location is unbeatable, on South First near so many great food meccas: Torchy's Tacos, Elizabeth St. Cafe, Le Noir, and a new coffeeshop (7th St. coffee) and gelato place that are excellent.  It's a short walk to the hubbub of South Congress.  My girlfriend and I biked everywhere using the city bikes (B-Cycle), and it was awesome.  

The apartment itself is very bare bones—cheap lighting, noisy ceiling fan, no dresser for your clothes (just a closet and hangers), no coffee maker, poor wifi, no water filter to make Austin's terrible drinking water palatable. It's hard to complain at less than $100 a night, but it wasn't a great place to be and relax during the day.  "
543363,22865992,2014-11-16,9327286,Alexander,"Great location. Super cute, charming space.

Host was timely with questions.

Made the trip to Austin perfect and painless. Plus, you're 1 minute away from the best donuts of your life."
543363,24940874,2015-01-04,11166225,Lindsay,"I highly recommend staying here! The location is excellent, safe, very walkable to South Congress Ave., and it is surrounded by great restaurants, cafes, and eclectic shops!

The apartment is very charming, and yard looks like a great place to hang out in the summer time. Unfortunately the weather was unusually cold & rainy while we were there (34º), but we managed to keep warm with the extra blankets the host provided, as well as the space heater. The apartment is very clean, and the shower pressure and water temperature was phenomenal!

Elizabeth made it very easy to check in & out, and was friendly, and responsive when needed. 

We will definitely return next time we visit Austin! "
543363,25243975,2015-01-10,24997616,Aimee,Love this studio. Everything you need. Location is perfect. Daytime parking is a bit challenging due to all the AWESOME restaurants within walking distance. Would stay here again for sure. Thanks Elizabeth !
543363,25567456,2015-01-19,21454152,Bryn,The house and location were great! I enjoyed that I was so close to a wonderful breakfast spot and coffee house. The bed was comfortable and the house was clean upon my arrival. 
543363,25773978,2015-01-25,4002384,Jeremy,Elizabeth's place was great. Fantastic location and all of the amenities a traveler could need were all to be found in her cozy studio. Elizabeth was highly accommodating and I would gladly stay here again.
543363,25857067,2015-01-27,26078011,Alex,"The studio was wonderful and just the right amount of homey. Situated right across the street from Bouldin Cafe, there was a beautiful front yard with string lights and a table and chairs. We loved the little kitchen which came in handy for storing some food.

The cable was out (which we knew ahead of time thanks to another reviewer and we didn’t need anyways), but there was a TV with a DVD player and the Wi-Fi worked well when we found the network.

The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, very “Austin.” There was lots of street parking and food trucks right down 1st Street.

I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a simple place to stay."
543363,26033383,2015-02-01,26012183,Camille,Great location. Very clean and comfortable. Cozy studio apartment. Grateful for the space heater! Perfect for two people. 
543363,26215073,2015-02-07,7534990,Sami Jo,"Great little retreat  - we really enjoyed our time here! 

You really can't beat the location - it's central to everything, and and came in handy the many nights we spent at The Continental Club on SoCo, , Broken Spoke and East Side Showroom (our faves) listening to music. 

We weren't really at the location too much - mostly out exploring, but we did meet the neighbor, and she was super sweet with two cute dogs. 

"
543363,26570795,2015-02-15,27497673,Samuel,"This was a perfect place to stay near some of the best parts of Austin! Like the description says, we parked our car and didn't turn it on until we left town. It's right near dozens of great places to shop, eat, and experience Austin night life plus it's a 10 minute cab ride to 6th street destinations. The apartment was clean, well appointed, and perfect for a weekend vacation."
543363,26791746,2015-02-19,24425481,Daniel,"The location for Elizabeth’s place in South Austin is perfect.  It’s right across from the popular and charming Bouldin Creek Cafe, and a 4 minute stroll from South Congress, a great place to shop and eat (Hopdoddy burgers, mmm).  The front door to the place is shared with another unit, as it seems the place has been carved out of a single family home, but there is a second private door for the place.  The room itself is charming and bright and fairly quiet, with a comfortable queen bed.  I quite enjoyed my time here, and would recommend it to others hoping to stay in Austin’s South Congress neighborhood. "
543363,26925058,2015-02-22,11721350,Tina,"I stayed at this Airbnb with my friend for 3 nights, and it was a fine  amount of space for two people with a queen sized bed, small kitchen, bathroom, couch, TV, and table. 

The location is hard to beat, with Bouldin Creek Café directly across the street, and other favorites such as Torchy's Tacos, Gourdoughs, and many other food trucks and sit-down restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. 

Street parking was super easy and while we did not meet Elizabeth, she made it very easy to get the key upon arrival and return it at the end of our stay.

Communication with the host was clear and effective. 

The only downside is that the WiFi was out during our entire stay, which Elizabeth explained that the cable company was working to fix. Luckily we didn't have too much downtime, but it would have been nice to have during the late evenings or when we stopped at the house to rest.

Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend it if you're looking for a good location in the neighborhood."
543363,27987061,2015-03-16,3935861,Kim Ove Olsen Og Marianne Cecilia Fruergaard,"Nice location, close to South Congress. Simple accommodation but it was ok. You could cook your own food, the bed and linen was nice, the girl next door and her dogs were sweet and quiet. "
543363,28479327,2015-03-24,7085028,Nevada,"This studio is the perfect little get away! We had a great time exploring the neighborhood, hanging out in the courtyard, and walking our dog to the nearby food trucks. 

It is small for sure, but there were just two of us and we had plenty of room. If you can, bring your bike. It is the only way to explore Austin!"
543363,28704687,2015-03-29,23428273,Jeanne,Everything was as stated. Found key easily. I felt safe in neighborhood. Very friendly people and lots of small affordable restaurants within walking distance.mattress was best ever.  Clean cozy Parking is difficult during certain hours. Renters should read and obey parking signs very carefully.
543363,29333436,2015-04-06,10104197,Nick,"Elizabeth's place was perfect! Amazing location, very clean and with a lot of privacy. We would definitely stay again and recommend it to any of our friends."
543363,29512993,2015-04-08,24482311,Teresa,"First the positive, the neighborhood and location to South Congress was perfect. We never had trouble finding parking on the street nearby. And, the bed was SO comfortable! However, we were disappointed with a few aspects. There was no prior communication follow-up about check-in and where to find the keys (we finally found them under the door mat). The yard was unkempt including a large blue tarp we had to navigate around to even get to the door. The furnishings were fine (nothing fancy) but different from what was shown in photos. The cable was not working as indicated, which the owner knew about but did not tell us prior to check-in. When calling about this, we found out the owner was out of town. I'm used to Airbnb owners being around and available if needed during my stay. Ultimately, we felt safe and fairly comfortable, so it was fine. But I doubt we will stay again."
543363,30217790,2015-04-19,4665541,Christopher,"Cozy, but perfect for a night in Austin.  Can't beat the location, right across from Bouldin Creek Cafe & walking distance to everything.

Elizabeth was quick to respond & helpful."
543363,31196678,2015-05-03,29799209,Marc,"Great location just far enough off of S Congress to feel private, but close enough to walk to it.  Literally across the street from a vegetarian cafe and one house over from a Mexican restaurant.  Room is plenty big for 2 people, and has a kitchen and bathroom.  The door you see in the picture opens up to two doors.  One is the bigger part of the house that someone rents, and the other is your room.  The window on the front you see is into the kitchen.  Very clean, no issues.  The house is older so the walls are kind of thin and you can hear some car noise at night, but I would have never known if my wife wasn't a light sleeper.  Never had trouble finding parking on the street.  Wifi worked.  Bring a dvd or two if you think you will spend any time inside, but go out and enjoy the area.  Food trucks are super close as well as all S Congress has to offer.  The area feels very safe and we never once had any concerns during our 3 night stay.  Elizabeth was very responsive to the couple of questions I had during the stay as well.  No complaints here!  If you want a new, trendy room with maid-service and fancy amenities, then pay the huge hotel costs in the area.  "
543363,31857621,2015-05-10,6566239,Jacqueline,Awesome location and perfect amount of space for two during our weekend in Austin. Wifi didn't work- so worth confirming with Elizabeth prior to booking- but for us it didn't make much of a difference as we were out enjoying the city most of the time anyway. Would stay here again! 
543363,32405439,2015-05-17,18289941,Amy,"We had a great time at Elizabeth's. The two of us stayed 3 nights and the location was perfect for what we needed. Once we found the right gate (it has no markings), we had no problem locating the keys and getting inside. There was no cable but the internet worked fine and we watched netflix (on our computer) at night. There is a DVD player so I would recommend bringing a few DVDs. There is so much to do nearby, you will be plenty busy. The apartment is small but we found it to be more than adequate for our needs. Everything was clean and decorated simply with no clutter. There were lots of towels and soaps in the cabinet for us and the water pressure was good. Parking was good but we had to park one block up or over during busy daytime hours which was not really a problem for us. There are cool stores within walking distance including End of An Ear record store and Rabbit Food vegan grocery store as well as awesome food trucks like Bananarchy and Four Brothers. Of course, Bouldin Creek Restaurant is directly across the street and there is also Thai Fresh, and even a 24 hour Mexican restaurant nearby as well. Elizabeth's place is just a short drive from South Lamar and downtown so the possibilities are endless staying here. It was quiet at night and the neighborhood and neighbors were nice as well. Lastly, the bed was comfortable and the ac kept us very cool. We definitely would stay here again."
543363,32961252,2015-05-24,27447172,Michael,"Enjoyed our stay in Austin for our daughter's graduation from UT. The location was great and within walking distance to everything you need.  Note - the fence/gate photo is the property entrance from the street, which was a little confusing at first (no longer a sign saying 'Pilates Lady' as instructed by owner). Street parking was easy, always within 1/2 block. We weren't clear from the description and photos that this is not a separate unit, but is attached to the main house with renters and 2 dogs. The main entry door leads to 2 other doors, and this apartment door is to the right. The only issue was a yapping dog one night in the adjoining residence until 1:00 am and the window A/C is a bit noisy, but much appreciated in the muggy Texas weather! Bathroom is small, however adequate hot water/pressure and everything functioned well. The photos don't show the very nice addition of a sofa in the room. Would suggest a binder with wi-fi info, area maps, etc. Love Austin!!"
543363,33858721,2015-06-01,829240,Heath,We had a great stay and it's a really nice place. Our stay was made real easy
543363,34214917,2015-06-06,32298690,Donna,"Location is perfect. Bus to downtown area, 3 minutes walk; South Congress shops, 5 minute walk; good restaurants and food trailers, practically next door.  The description of the 'Studio' on airbnb is rather overrated, with the place being unkempt and unloved. However, all basic needs are there - including a very comfortable bed. "
543363,34355108,2015-06-07,18761258,Victoria,This was a sweet little studio in one of the coolest parts of Austin. It was perfect for our needs and Elizabeth was very communicative and accommodating. 
543363,34917767,2015-06-13,12797188,Trey,"This was my first airbnb experience and I'll definitely do it again because it all went so well.  I didn't meet Elizabeth in person, but she responded quickly to communications and was very kind when I made a very silly reservation mixup.  Highly recommend. "
543363,35703298,2015-06-21,34444597,Griffin,My girlfriend and I stayed at Elizabeth apartment for a long weekend and it was perfect for the two of us. The location was great we had a cafe directly across the street and the cab rides into downtown were no more than $8 each way. It fits the description perfectly and is great for a couple to stay here!
543363,36338417,2015-06-27,4969556,Almaz,Lovely experience recommend it over a hotel any day 
543363,37193539,2015-07-05,14442926,Nadia,Cute little apartment - the perfect amount of space for two people.
543363,37510273,2015-07-07,393772,Hallie,"The studio is in a great location -- lots of walking distance food/shopping options and is close to city bus routes. This area has a lot of Car2Go cars available most of the time, as well. The unit was clean and perfect for my needs and the neighbors and their dogs were very friendly. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth's property!  "
543363,41505371,2015-08-07,10112655,Trent,"This apartment is in a great location and as others have mentioned, within walking distance to many restaurants and shopping stuffs.

The home itself is not without a few minor issues.  The biggest problem for us was the lack of central AC.  The window unit simply could not keep up with the heat and size of the unit.  We went as far as looking for other accommodations after the first night due to this.  Without knowing the repercussions of cancelling, we ended up buying our own fans and sticking it out, although we did leave a day early.  Keep in mind this was August, and heat in Texas is expected. 

The apartment is also a little light on storage - there is no dresser although there is a small closet with hangers.

Wireless internet is listed as available, but signal strength made it unusable.  Internet access seems to be mentioned in other reviews as a recurring problem.

While there is a a TV in the room, there is no cable service - only a DVD player.  

The renters in the apartment next door were friendly, however their dogs occasionally barked when we opened the main door.  

Street parking is available and we were always able to park within a block or two.  

The neighborhood is wonderful and is very safe and has a great Austin vibe."
543363,44046105,2015-08-23,30590203,Ali,"This place was awesome!! Perfect amount of space for 2 people, comfy bed, and the location couldn't be better! Great restaurants, food trucks and shopping near by. Elizabeth was great to work with and very accommodating. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!"
543363,46196351,2015-09-08,15786421,Sean,Comfortable & clean apartment in a prime location. Perfect size for 2 guests. The Internet didn't work well enough to use... But that didn't matter because we were out around town for most of our stay. Otherwise a great find.
543363,46779282,2015-09-13,2859550,Anne,"The neighborhood was perfect - walkable, close to so many fun things (great food, drinks, shopping) but also calm and quiet.  The studio is just as described - it's functional and simple, no frills.  Air conditioning definitely came in handy but as another reviewer mentioned, it was hard to keep the place cool at night.  (To be fair, I think we visited during a week of record heat in September). "
543363,47469920,2015-09-19,16217652,Tricia,"I can't really find any good things to say about this place other than the location in soco was great. Quite disappointed with it, wouldn't recommend it."
543363,47848638,2015-09-21,4094061,Charles,"Fantastic location (literally within walking distance to everything). Very clean and comfortable setup for two. Aside from the spotty communication from Elizabeth and the lack of wi-fi, everything was great."
543363,48720046,2015-09-28,41217587,Thomas,"This studio is in a great location.  The bed is very comfortable.  We had fun exploring all of the cafes, food trucks, and shops on both 1st Street and S. Congress.  Take note:  There is no iron/ironing board, nor hairdryer provided.  If you don't need either of those, you're all good! "
543363,49351252,2015-10-03,20646967,Mary Lynn,"My stay in Elizabeth's place was very pleasant. It was clean and tidy, and all things were in order upon my arrival (keys, fresh linens, etc.) Slept well - the bed was comfy. Bath and shower, nice. Kitchen, handy. The neighborhood was great, with great funky little restaurants and shops in close walking distance and SoCo just a few blocks away. The neighbors who live in the back unit were very friendly, they even invited me to a BBQ one night, saying ""this is how we roll in Texas!"" Had a great time in Austin. Would definitely recommend staying here when in Austin!"
543363,51315196,2015-10-19,273644,Soledad,"We found the apartment to be just right for a stay in Austin. Small but well equipped, the place was very clean, well-situated, and cozy. Would totally stay again! "
1749665,8838742,2013-11-20,9029448,Misti,"Sharon made my stay very comfortable. She's so knowledgeable and willing to share information with her guests.
She was very thoughtful and responsive to any suggestions. Thanks, Sharon, for a great time!"
1749665,10441325,2014-02-18,12117417,Pat,"Sharon was a delightful hostess.  She has a wealth of knowledge about the Austin area.

The cleanliness of the home was a bit sketchy, though."
1749665,10648693,2014-03-01,11240852,Sam,"Sharon is a great host, and I really enjoyed my stay at her house in West Austin. She has lots of experience hosting guests and it showed. I would recommend Sharon's house. "
1749665,10901054,2014-03-12,10993160,Shena,"Sharon was a wonderful host, who went above and beyond to make sure her guests felt welcome. The room was clean and very pleasant, and the place was very quiet. "
1749665,11090212,2014-03-20,3121111,Sierra,"Sharon was a great host! She was super accommodating, helpful when we needed it but always happy to let us have our privacy as well. Her home is lovely, very clean and spacious with a gorgeous backyard. A little bit far from downtown if you don't drive, but we knew that going in so there was no problems. All in all, a wonderful experience! Thanks!"
1749665,13926865,2014-06-08,1002666,Hitesh,"Sharon was a good host but it was not a perfect spot for me. There were 4 guests (other than me) living at the same time. I did not know that I had to share the bathroom. Other than that, the refrigerator was dirty and the bed was not comfortable at all. One of the guests was very rude and almost acted like a gatekeeper. There were parking issues as well. Also the rate was way too high considering that the bathroom was shared and the Wi-Fi was too patchy."
1749665,16050761,2014-07-20,12039578,Michaela,"This is a perfect location in proximity to downtown, yet has also the feeling of being in the country. Nicely wooded large lot situated on a hill with chickens, patio, pea gravel garden, hammock and a view to southwest from the back. The room is very spacious with hardwood floors and has a little of a retro feel. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. Would love to go back and stay there again!"
1749665,16874262,2014-08-03,18990540,Sara,"This was my first airbnb experience and I have to say it was awesome! Sharon is very helpful, flexible, and accommodating! I went up for a brief trip and was worried about coming in late/leaving early and her system and procedures were really accommodating :) Would definitely stay there again! "
1749665,18277847,2014-08-24,19990606,Sam,"Sharon is a great host and makes everyone feel welcome. I never had the feeling like I was a guest but rather some one who is an old friend that I have known for years. 
The space is kept very clean, the people who come through are very interesting and in fact it is a good place to network if you are new to the city, looking for a job, looking for a permanent place to live or want to be in a relaxing environment where a diverse group from Americans to international people from all over the world. (Sharon was also very helpful in assisting me to find a apartment here in Austin.) The other guest are all interesting to talk to and you also have the opportunity to be alone if you like or indulge in a interesting conversation with the other guest.
I really enjoyed my stay and would defiantly return.."
1749665,19708141,2014-09-16,9327653,Archana,It was a great stay! I'll definitely be coming back. Sharon and Peter were warm and friendly. They have a lot of knowledge about the area and were a great help.
1749665,20210771,2014-09-25,15385719,Jennifer,"Sharon and Peter are wonderful hosts. What I love about Sharon is how much she cares about her guests. She took the time to get to know me and make sure my needs were taken care of. Their home is quiet and clean. The room I stayed in was spacious, and the bed was super comfy. I felt very comfortable and at home, like I was staying at a friend's house. Thanks Sharon! "
1749665,20900060,2014-10-07,12067544,Ben,"Sharon was an extremely accommodating host, she provided a nice homely environment. The house is situated in a very lovely area within walking distance to the bus downtown. Walking at night you could even stumble upon some deer! Sharon told us everything we needed to know, helped us with Laundry and tips for our travels. We had a mix up with our booking and she was still very kind and allowed us to stay an extra night. Great experience on our travels! Highly recommend!"
1749665,21276532,2014-10-14,7409465,Nigel,Sharon and Petr are very welcoming hosts. The location was very good and close to Zilker Park and the Bus to downtown. Uber from 6th St to the house is $15 - $20. Clean and comfortable accommodation - I would stay here again.
1749665,21627017,2014-10-20,22282737,Brad,Sharon was an excellent host.  I came late and she was there to greet me and show me around. Home is in an excellent area convenient to everything.  The room is basic but clean and the internet worked fabulously.   This was a great value and I would recommend it.
1749665,23986575,2014-12-15,18353137,Tiffany,Sharon's a great host.

Sharon was very accommodating and the check-in was a breeze. The location is excellent btw if you have your own car or use Uber. I highly recommend this airbnb."
1749665,28383888,2015-03-23,11837578,Lisa,"Sharon and her husband are lovely hosts. Always make you feel welcome and help out when you need anything. 

Thanks for having me again. Maybe see you next year :)"
1749665,29111491,2015-04-04,28043209,Judy,"
We really enjoyed our stay with Sharon and Petr. They were both very hospitable and spent time with us orienting us to Austin. Their house is lovely, very comfortable and a 10 minute walk to lots of shopping. As an added bonus, I had a just-laid egg from their chickens every morning! I highly recommend staying with them."
1749665,29704213,2015-04-11,14904442,Jill,"Sharon and Petr's house was a comfortable and convenient place to land in Austin.  They were very kind, helpful and accommodating, even though I was just there for one night.  The room was clean, bed comfortable.  Neighborhood is quiet, very green and leafy, walking distance from grocery stores and such.  Highly recommend.  Wish I was able to stay longer and get to know them."
1749665,29894216,2015-04-13,30678164,Irene,"Sharon Smith es una persona maravillosa, cálida, amable y  colaboradora. También es muy clara para plantear la situación y las condiciones de convivencia. El barrio es verdaderamente muy hermoso, árboles por todas partes y la casa super agradable. Gracias a apoyo y la sensibilidad de Sharon me sentí como en mi casa. Dedica tiempo a compartir  información tanto de Austin como la que cada huésped puede necesitar. Gracias a eso pude disfrutar de una zona tan agradable y encontrar posibilidades de transportación en Texas.
Me encantaría volver a hospedarme en este lugar. Tanto el espacio como la anfitriona son lo máximo."
1749665,30817128,2015-04-27,4414104,Randall,"Great place near Zilker Park and all the action, but quiet and tucked away in nature. Sharon is a great host, and creates a friendly relaxing environment in her home. We had a nice conversation around the dining table with other guests, and enjoyed the natural landscape in the backyard."
1749665,32143704,2015-05-14,32311271,Jack,"I was impressed with Sharon and Petr's very quick responses and complete communications.

My stay at Sharon and Petr's lovely home was just the right thing.  It felt like I was in a home, not a hotel.  Sometimes a hotel is the thing I'd like, sometimes a home, but this was a nice 'homey' stay.  I enjoyed their approachable, friendly and easy-going way of managing the home.  Talking with them both was also a pleasure, and interesting to boot.  I like being around nice, smart people like them.

The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet, and feels very safe.

I would be happy to stay there again."
1749665,34260549,2015-06-06,18353137,Tiffany,I've stayed with Sharon almost a dozen times and can't imagine staying anywhere else! She's very welcoming and always accommodating. 
1749665,46715216,2015-09-13,24953964,Daniel,"Very comfortable and convenient, in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Great as an introduction to Austin. Sharon is extremely welcoming and helpful."
1749665,47132575,2015-09-15,43894602,Tim,"It was fine, alright? Jesus, airbnb, quit bothering me about writing a review."
1749665,48033313,2015-09-22,15518718,Andrew,"She's exactly the kind of host I hope for. She took time to talk with me, introduce me, and she gave me a ""map tour"" of Austin. "
1749665,48562651,2015-09-27,14228589,Tom,"Sharon was so responsive and extremely hospitable. I was in town for a quick business trip, and she was so enthusiastic about the city of Austin I could not resist her giving me all the insights on the hot spots in town. She was very open to sharing her kitchen and space, as well. The house was very clean, and bed was comfortable. "
1749665,48777994,2015-09-28,43825990,Duyen,"The house was in a great neighborhood super close to Zilker Park. The space was as described and Sharon was very welcoming. As soon as I came in, she told me everything I needed to know about the shared space. She immediately pulled out a map of Austin and got me oriented with everything in the area. She is very knowledgeable of the city. Her huge backyard is a nice place to kick back and relax if you make time for that.  We basically only needed the place to sleep so everything we needed was provided.  She was also very responsive whenever I had a question for her before and after booking.  My only complaint was that the bed was a bit on the noisy side. I have a 2 year old that we had to let sleep with us and I was afraid to wake her up every time my husband and I moved because it made so much noise! "
1749665,49758433,2015-10-06,7409465,Nigel,Excellent host and friendly atmosphere
1749665,51358096,2015-10-19,15131220,Tchansia,"We had a great stay at Sharon's place. The room was very comfortable and a good size. She is readily available for any tip and more than happy to help.The city centre is easily accessible by public transport (10 min walk to the closest bus stop) and a nice walk leads to the Zilker park. The woody neighborhood is very pretty and quiet. As others have mentionned in the comments, we had impromptu encounters with wildlife and that was quite cool."
1749665,52103098,2015-10-26,18423189,Nic,Sharon was extremely welcoming when we walked in showing us a map of Austin and recommending a number of great spots to visit. The room was just as described and the bed was incredibly comfortable to sleep in. We would definitely stay here again if we visited Austin!
1749665,52939189,2015-11-02,45408390,Katie,"Very pleasant home, spacious room. Flexible following unexpected travel delays. Hostess and other boarders are very friendly. Good tips on ways to spend time in Austin."
4085514,20935972,2014-10-07,16873763,Tommy,"My friend and I had a great time staying at Taylor's place. It is a beautiful home located in a nice, quiet street. The main road was only a minute's walk away with plenty of restaurants and bars. A bus stop was only two minutes' walk which shoots you down to 6th street for a big night in Austin. Taylor was very friendly and accommodating, happy to answer any questions we had about the area. They also have a great little balcony where we sat back for hours watching the world go by! A great stay all round!"
4085514,20942728,2014-10-07,16550575,Erica,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4085514,35626216,2015-06-20,19747125,Karen & Tyler,Taylor was very friendly on the phone and quick to respond. Her place was spacious and the bed was very comfy. It was in a good location within walking distance to great bars and restaurants.
4085514,38085608,2015-07-12,36301547,WooHyung,It was clean and cozy house. Taylor was kind and friendly. I had great time there
4085514,40148067,2015-07-28,24296572,Sophie,It was a lovely room with towels and we could come and go as we pleased. Would recommend and thanks for having us! 
4085514,41051712,2015-08-03,40132432,Paloma,"After my initial plans fell through in Austin, I needed a place to stay for the night at the last minute. Taylor was quick to respond to my request to stay at her place which was so awesome! The room was spacious, clean, and inviting. Not to mention, the bed was sooo comfy!! Also, the bathroom was huge. "
4085514,41238246,2015-08-05,31305809,Nick,"I enjoyed staying at Taylor's place in central Austin. Great location close to Lamar/Guadalupe but set back enough to be quiet on a shady, sleepy street. Porch had a nice view and the minimalist room was connected to a shared bathroom which was all I needed."
4085514,41380496,2015-08-07,35738503,Hongye,The host canceled this reservation 78 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4085514,41520114,2015-08-07,3715182,Randy,"Taylor was very kind to accomodate me on short notice, and responsive with communication.  I didn't get to meet her, but she made the booking and check in process easy.  
The bed was comfortable, the bedroom was clean, and she has a nice little balcony right off the bedroom that looks out over a quiet street.
The bathroom was kind of a mess, as well as the main part of the house and kitchen...which likely wasn't her fault because she has one (or two?) other people living in the house.  That was a little weird, because I wasn't notified beforehand to expect other people coming and going in the middle of the night.
"
4085514,42306818,2015-08-12,6969749,Gia,"What a wonderful place to stay in Austin! Taylor's place was in a great location, within easy walking distance to stores, restaurants, cafes and bars and also very close to UT Austin. The room was spacious, the bed comfortable, the apartment clean, quiet and tidy. The porch was an added bonus, and even the neighbors were friendly! Everything about her place was tasteful and welcoming. I look forward to staying here again sometime!"
4085514,43195678,2015-08-17,4346615,Nick,"The neighborhood is quiet with lots of shaded street parking which is awesome with this August weather! Taylor was quick to respond, very friendly and very personable. Me and my sister only stayed for a night but we would have loved to stay longer and we would definitely book here again:) Thanks for the great hospitality!"
4085514,43886115,2015-08-22,26485546,Ivan,"It was really great to stay in Taylor's house, everything was very clean and confortable,  really safe and quiet neighborhood. I definitely recommend this place to stay. thanks a lot!"
4085514,45028995,2015-08-30,42518413,Casey,Our experience with Taylor was AMAZING! She was such a wonderful host and the location was perfect! We had everything that we needed and she offered excellent advice on places to see in Austin as well since we were new to Austin.  We will definitely look her up on our next visit! 
4085514,46187476,2015-09-08,9014557,Shasha,"We really enjoyed staying at Taylor's place over the past weekend! Located in a prime location, the room is spacious, lovely, and equipped with clean towels, interesting books, and your own vanity. It is within walking distance to several restaurants and coffee shops. What I loved the most is Taylor's personality. She is friendly, accommodating, and respectful of the guests' privacy.  I highly recommend her as your next host in Austin, TX!"
4085514,46724689,2015-09-13,19041344,Amy,"I wanted an inexpensive place to spend a few nights, in the neighborhood close campus. I found Taylor's lovely rowhouse near Guadalupe. I spent two nights in the master bedroom, with shared bathroom---although my hostess was away for most of the time, so not much sharing. The room perfectly fitted my needs.  It is comfortable, tidy and air conditioned."
4085514,46999653,2015-09-14,5736906,Laura.,"Taylor's place was the perfect location for our one night stay in Austin! Close to UT, walking distance to food and drink, and only about a 10 minute drive from South Congress. Taylor was easy to communicate with and very helpful with leaving us the key. The bed was comfortable and the little balcony was darling for relaxing on. "
4085514,49086268,2015-09-30,22188012,Andrew,"Taylor was a great hostess and very knowledgeable with the city.  Her place is clean and in a great neighborhood.  She was very accommodating, especially since I booked last minute.  She was even able to drive me to the airport the next day.  I would definitely recommend her place.  Hopefully I will get back to Austin soon."
4085514,49570826,2015-10-04,29601289,Leila,Easy to book and Taylor is very nice. We did get woken up by a dog (roommate's dog or ?) twice that night. 
4085514,49735944,2015-10-05,1904910,Ashley,Taylor's pad is in a great location and we had a fantastic stay here. The bed was really comfy and the house was really nice and inviting. Definitely a recommended spot if you're staying in Austin!
4085514,50316034,2015-10-11,43612356,Michael,"It was a terrific place to stay. Taylor was very flexible and I got access earlier than agreed upon, so that was great. It was a great place to stay at and I loved the neighbourhood. "

8923047,51682605,2015-10-22,3682479,Sean And Brittany,"Aaliyah is very responsive. She accepted our same-day reservation, which was a relief. However, the good stops there. Upon arrival, there were several people partying loudly in the lot. They did not stop for awhile. After Aaliyah left her parking spot for Sean, he noticed broken glass on the asphalt next to where he would be parked. Of course, this is not the hostess' fault. I did not feel Sean was safe. We complained to AirBnb of excessive noise and nuisance, and switched the next night to a room we knew to be quiet and in a good neighborhood. Aaliyah was as sweet and understanding as could be, apologizing and promising to talk to management. I would recommend Aaliyah as a host, but if a quiet place is what you are looking for, this is not the place for you."
8923047,51878539,2015-10-24,7186099,Tomie,Aaliyah was there and everything was as advertised. An apartment on a complex so easy to find and lots of parking. Right off the freeway close to downtown.
8923047,52162102,2015-10-26,35395301,Jon,"Great host and great place to stay. Easy access to anything you need in Austin. Great accommodations. Super clean room, bathroom is private and very clean as well. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to visit Austin. May even come back and book with her again with my SO. Thanks for the great stay and enjoy the chairs!"
8923047,52656810,2015-10-31,46294121,Cordelia,Aaliyah was genuinely friendly and accommodating during my 2 night stay. The room looks exactly as advertised and the bathroom was nice and private. It was a short easy drive to I-35 and downtown. I would recommend this space to other travelers.
8460590,48824421,2015-09-28,40108590,Dave & El,"Jenn was a lovely host (as was Buddy the dog) and extremely knowledgeable about where to go in Austin. We spent four days visiting her recommendations and loved them all.

The apartment is as clean and modern as it looks in the pictures, with a very comfortable bed and set in a safe, quiet neighbourhood.

We recommend staying here if you visit Austin!"
8460590,49833293,2015-10-06,22735419,Brian,"Jenn was great, very welcoming and friendly.  Her place is clean, modern and pretty close to downtown. "
8460590,52369265,2015-10-28,16684565,Dia,"Jennifer's place is in a great location. It's very convenient and cheap uber rides to downtown. She has a lockbox for the house key which makes it very easy for checking in and out and if you're travelling with another person. Her dog Buddy is lovely and so gentle. He gives great cuddles :) 
The room was a bit tight because I needed an extra bed and they were in the same room but it worked. It was only because I caught her in the middle of some renovations though so I'm sure it will be sorted out soon. Having your own bathroom is great. Big kitchen and area to hang out which is nice and Jennifer and her boyfriend were great fun! "
1835406,12390740,2014-05-01,2774451,Kimberly,"We stayed with Kat for 3 months, and I can't imagine it going any better!  She was an attentive host who was always quick with a reply if we had any questions.  She left a list of suggestions for us upon arrival with many of the places being within walking distance.  
The birdhouse was beautifully decorated and very comfortable.  I love Kat's sense of style and decoration.  Anything we required was accessible and I love it that there is a washer and dryer as well.  
The location was also prime.  It is easy to walk to Congress street or Lady Bird trail.  If you have a bicycle, you can ride down to the lake and start the trail from there.  You are also close to interstates, multiple grocery stores, the mall and downtown if you wish to drive.  
The whole experience with Kat was great, and I would certainly suggest you stay with her during your Austin experience.  "
1835406,23049757,2014-11-21,23677697,Kristen,"Kat was great -- friendly, organized, responsive -- and the place was clean, cozy, and well decorated. It has everything you need and the beds are comfy. It's in a quiet neighborhood but right down the street from a lot of cool restaurants and shops. I had a great stay!"
1835406,24553804,2014-12-30,11184028,Deidre,"The French Birdhouse was great!  We has a wonderful time and it was even better than we thought it would be.  Adorable and bright and so close to great neighborhoods, Whole Foods, Book People - everywhere we wanted to go.  Kat was a great host - available whenever I had questions from how to work the tv to where to find a 24 hour pharmacy.  She is super organized and made everything very easy.  We'd definitely stay here again!  My family who lives in Austin was jealous!"
1835406,24877512,2015-01-03,24859400,Steven,Great location and ideal to S Congress area. Space was perfect for a family trip to Austin. Looking forward to staying there again. 
1835406,25240186,2015-01-10,9492768,Ann,"We loved staying here!  It's even cuter in real life, if that's possible, and the location is fantastic.  It's easy to get down to the hike and bike trail on the Colorado River which is a great way to get to Zilker Park.  It's close to downtown and shopping on SoCo (the St. Vincent de Paul boutique is awesome).  Check in was a breeze and Kat was quick to answer when I had questions.  Staying here made my first Airbnb experience exceptional.  "
7351170,46924798,2015-09-14,1654417,Bryan,"The home was beautiful - nestled in a really fun part of Austin between South Congress and South Lamar (both of which you could spend a weekend exploring). We stayed for the weekend and on Saturday evening we took a quick taxi ride downtown, ate and then did some bar hopping on 6th street. Basically this place is in a perfect location for Austin.

I'll also throw out there that the host, Alex, went out of his way to make our stay great. He was flexible with us on checkin and checkout, he was always responsive when we had questions. Also, when he found out I was getting married in two weeks, he gave us a wedding gift in the form of a partial refund on our stay. It was super nice and completely unexpected.

If you're looking for a house in South Austin that's close to just about everything and managed by a fantastic host, I'd highly recommend this place - you won't be disappointed."
7351170,48004721,2015-09-22,34139644,Brion,"Our stay at this home was fabulous! Our host went above and beyond our expectations, even purchasing and assembling a new grill to accommodate our family's needs. The home was clean, comfortable and spacious! Our host was available at all times and answered all of our questions and was very helpful. He left us yummy homemade bread and soft drinks in the refrigerator. I plan on staying there in the future. I can recommend this home to anyone considering staying in Austin."
7351170,50693183,2015-10-13,2213191,Sloane,"I cannot recommend Alex's place highly enough! I came for ACL with a big group and thought this would be a better option than booking hotels for everyone. It certainly was - we slept 6 people here comfortably, and we were an easy 10 minute drive from the venue. The house was big and comfortable, very clean and well kept, and with every amenity you could want (lovely kitchen, coffee maker, laundry room, TV and wifi etc.) Alex even stocked the fridge with drinks for us and made a bunch of Lebanese snacks that saved us when we came home late and tired and hungry :) and stocked the showers with toiletries, etc. 
Alex was an ideal host and was very communicative and courteous, always checking in to see if there was anything he could do to make our stay more comfortable. We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin!"
7351170,51283496,2015-10-19,27217944,Francie,"This was my first Air B&B and it could not have worked out better. Marwa and Alex were great hosts and made sure that everything about the stay was perfect. They left us some unique treats to snack on when we got in, allowed a late check out, and sent the items we left the next day, without charge!

The house felt brand new and had plenty of space for our part of 8. The house is in a quiet residential area about a 10-15 minute car ride to downtown so I would recommend getting a rental car if you want to explore the city. 

Overall I highly recommend this rental for family's or groups of friends who are visiting Austin."
7351170,51817157,2015-10-24,6117101,Joel,"great place to stay. felt like a king. 

Alex was very hospitable "
7351170,52175738,2015-10-26,44167072,Kirk,"Alex was a fantastic host, the home is the most equipped I have ever stayed in.  Alex has truly thought of everything you need to be comfortable at home, little things like soap, makeup remover cottons etc the home is worth the price.  Beds are very comfortable and plenty of entertainment on TV.  Location is fair but easy access to everything and uber picked up and brought back without long waits so easy downtown access.

I would book with Alex every trip if I needed space like this.

Thanks Alex"
2461589,11057718,2014-03-18,6238649,Steff,"We traveled to Austin for SXSW. Obviously with the chaos it was hard to find a spot close to 6th street. We got lucky and found this gem. Monica and Gustavo were extremely hospitable and helped us get situated. Cool people, cool spot, cool city. Will be back. "
2461589,13193604,2014-05-21,2342968,Juan Luis,"We were looking for an affordable place to crash every night, and if you are looking for that this place is great.  Monica was also very helpful, specially when the burglary alarm went off on a monday at 2:20AM :D

Extra point: The place is only 15 minute walk from the White Horse"
2461589,13707964,2014-06-02,15786721,Daniel,"This place is a real gem! A friend and I needed a place to stay for the weekend and luckily we found Monica and Gustavo! The quiet location of Esquina Tango is literally a 15 minute walk to downtown and there's a lot to see while you're walking there. The room and bathroom is just what you need if you are planning on spending the majority of your time in the city and not at home. However, Monica and Gustavo were than willing to help us with any problems we had, including sheltering an extra friend for a night. For those who do choose to stay at Esquina Tango, be ready to thoroughly surprised by this quaint, youthful cultural space. Please do ask about the main part of the house, because there were tango classes held at night and sadly we didn't have the time to go."
2461589,15740290,2014-07-14,2714070,Pat,We really enjoyed how laid back it is at Esquina Tango. My wife rolled out of bed and took a yoga class! We'd definitely come back.
2461589,16959770,2014-08-04,18522001,John,"We didn't get to meet Gustavo during our stay in Austin, but Monica was very welcoming and accommodating. About a 20 minute walk to downtown Austin (if you have a bike that part may be a little easier). The room is in the same building as a tango studio, but we met some nice and interesting people when we returned at night which was fun. If you're looking to drop of your things, explore the city, and come back to an eclectic, inviting environment, then I would definitely recommend staying here."
2461589,17921018,2014-08-18,4253954,Ian,"Monica was super responsive and got back to me about the room on very short notice.  The space was quite cool, small room and a bed in a good location.  "
2461589,18293780,2014-08-24,2850250,Jesse,Had a great stay at this quaint little apartment in the back of a dance studio.  This is a fun cultural unique place to spend the night in what I see as an up and coming neighborhood. A bit long to walk downtown although there is a lot of restraunts and coffee shops nearby. Very nice hostess.
2461589,19990769,2014-09-21,1245962,Joey,"What a lovely place to stay! Monica was extremely kind and helpful, and the building itself is full of laughter and music and dancing. Just be aware that this is a very active cultural center, so there are always people around. I took it as a huge plus."
2461589,20789214,2014-10-05,21820271,Chelsea,"My sister and I stayed with Monica for the first weekend of ACL and Monica was a great hostess. We got in late the first night, but Monica was very accommodating and stayed up to welcome us to her place. We were barely in the house, but the place was comfortable and we had privacy as well. Since I have lived in Austin before, I was familiar with the neighborhood, which is extremely welcoming. I would suggest going to eat at Juan in a Million, which is less than two blocks away from Monica and Gustavo's place. They have the best breakfast tacos!! "
2461589,21093251,2014-10-11,21575993,Alejandro,"Although I stayed just one night, it was great and vry friendly. The space was comfortable and so the neighborhood, I liked walked around. I'll be back for sure!"
2461589,21175243,2014-10-12,22068645,Marcela,Our stay with Monica and Gustavo was excellent. The room was perfect and clean! I would come back here if we needed to go to Austin again. Thank you guys so much
2461589,21853803,2014-10-25,1504700,Stephanie,"I was in Austin for merely 36 hours, but I loved how homey Monica's place was. The room was clean and spacious, and it was very comfortable. Their home was less than ten minutes in a cab to downtown which was very convenient. I would definitely stay with Monica and Gustavo again when I return to Austin! "
2461589,21935314,2014-10-26,20720533,威詔,It great to stay here! Monica is friendly. This place is close to 6th street so you can just drink and without worry about driving. I'll stay here again if I visit Austin again!!
2461589,22254288,2014-11-02,3706960,Branislav (Bane),"Monica and Gustavo are very responsive in their communication prior to arriving, and accommodated my desired check in time. I met Monica, she is very friendly and invited me to Halloween party they had that night in dance studio. Room is small and basic but comfortable and I enjoyed my stay. Bathroom was always available and clean. It is about 30min walk from entertainment center of 6th street, but there is number of places open late along the way so it is fun walk. Good public transportation service until midnight. I would recommend the place. "
2461589,22516008,2014-11-08,23419180,Matthew,"Check in was seamless. We spoke the day before and arranged an appropriate meeting time. Once checked in, Monica essentially gave us complete independence and use of the space. 
The location is in close proximity to various entertainment and dining spots. The uber ride from just east of the 35 was $6 for reference. 
Summed up, the room was clean and comfortable. The place was active (its an event space) and the neighborhood felt safe. Monica was friendly and hospitable. Finally, check out was simple and efficient.
I would certainly recommend staying here if you need a place to crash for a night; particularly if you are hanging around East Austin."
2461589,26811746,2015-02-19,7644696,Quirine,"We could stay with Monica very last minute, which was great. The room is at the back of a dance school. Basic, but all necessities were there. The location is perfect. Walkable distance to 6th street, but still in a quiet part of town with off road parking.  Would recommend."
2461589,27241433,2015-02-28,17362296,Lizz,They were great - we didn't stay very long but the Cultural Center seems like a great place!
2461589,28308399,2015-03-22,11174790,Stephanie,"Staying at Monica and Gustavo's was a great experience. The room was part of a dance studio and it was easily accessible to the downtown area. Monica was always there to answer our questions and we had a great time. The neighbourhood is safe and we didn't had any problems getting back at night. There was a study area available, so if you had work to do, you are able to access the work table and chairs. A thoroughly enjoyable experience."
2461589,28748678,2015-03-29,6281905,Jen,"Monica was very, very nice. Check in was very easy and quick. Monica gave us a quick tour of the space when we arrived and gave us clear instructions that were easy to follow (keys, which locks to lock, parking, etc). She made us feel very welcome and was very approachable if we ever needed anything. We didn't stay very long, but it was just right for staying one night in Austin. The location was not very close to downtown but we used Lyft to get to the Rainey st bars and it was about $10 one way. Area was more residential and quiet, which was totally fine. "
2461589,29242792,2015-04-05,21601429,Delilah,Monica was very pleasant. She had an adorable cat that was amazing company!
2461589,29780193,2015-04-12,21647853,Jose,Great vibe at the Esquina Tango. Great location and plenty of privacy. 
2461589,30646533,2015-04-25,23259152,Joanna,"Monica greeted us with lots of energy and warmth!  The space is simple, clean and all we needed for our short (unfortunately) stay in Austin.  The location is 10 minutes door-to-door from the airport and there is a bike rental station just a block up the road, so you really do not need to rent a car if you are willing to bike!  We had a car and the parking was easy, off-street and very safe.  "
2461589,30750110,2015-04-26,19987613,Jeffery,"This is a unique setting, for those somewhat unorthodox in their level of acceptance of the maxim ""different strokes for different folks"". That said, it was an excellent place for me to feel part of the Austin Texas east side community. Everything you need is there, but it is not pristine in its presentation, but full of 'soul"", and your accommodation is behind and part of a Salsa dance studio. If you do tai chi like me, you have an indoor facility with floor to floor mirrors where to practice early in the morning. "
2461589,33030851,2015-05-24,27323432,Valerie,"Monica & Gustavo run Esquina Tango, a place I had been familiar with for dancing Argentine Tango for many years. I was pleasantly surprised to find their listing in Airbnb! I needed to visit Austin for an aerial competition nearby and they were perfectly located for where I needed to be. they keep a clean room for traveling guests away from their classes so you won't disturb them & vice versa. they do keep a full schedule until the wee hours of the morning, but for me that was perfect since I was getting in late from events myself; fortunately I didn't worry about disturbing them since I was coming in about the same time they were finishing up. they also gave me a chance to 'ground' myself again after so much aerial activity, helping me remember why I fell in love with tango in the first place! would definitely recommend especially if you want a different cultural experience to enhance your trip to Austin. "
2461589,34382421,2015-06-07,3876116,Samantha,Monica and Gustavo were great hosts. The room was exactly as described in the listing. I was in constant and effective communication with Monica and she made me feel comfortable getting around Austin. 
2461589,35622491,2015-06-20,459504,Jessica,"Monica was responsive in regards to communication, and the space was as described. Simple, but clean and had all essentials required. Good location, I felt safe as a single female, and easy to get to most anything you'd want to do in Austin. Oh, and her daughter Alma is the absolute cutest thing. Ever!"
2461589,36355246,2015-06-27,16508041,Noel,Great place to stay. The hospitality was awesome. Location was great. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Monica. 
2461589,37540066,2015-07-07,26293922,Ashley,"Monica was extremely welcoming and accommodating despite our very late arrival due to travel.  My maps were not working and she responded and helped me find the place even at such a late hour and showed me the essentials when we arrived.  The room had a lock and key, which was nice for leaving privacy and leaving possessions behind since patrons are in and out of the building.  All basic necessities were available for use in the bathroom / shower if needed.  The dance studio was very cute and the pictures are an accurate depiction of the space.  The interns were also very friendly.  We felt safe in the neighborhood and were able to walk around Austin from the studio.  It was maybe 1 1/2 miles to downtown.  We also brought our outdoor cat along, and he was allowed to hang outside the studio with the other neighborhood cats.  Overall, the experience was very positive.

The only opportunities for improvement, and reason I could not give 5 stars, is that the futon/mattress was very thin and you could feel the metal of the frame through the mattress.  There was also music and dancing until 11:30 pm, which we probably wouldn't have minded except we walked around the city all day and were ready to crash.  Also, although Monica did tell me there would be cleaners early in the morning, they may not have been aware there were guests.  Initially, I just heard dishes, etc. but this wasn't a bother and I am a light sleeper.  It only became an issue when the cleaning staff were talking so loudly to the point of shouting that I thought they would wake my daughter, who is a very heavy sleeper.  I had to go ask them to keep it down, and they did."
2461589,38054922,2015-07-12,34982340,Cyril,"I staid almost a week with a friend in their place. Qmonica and Gustavo looked really nice even if we havent talked a lot with them. About the location there are few things we want to say as we did not really appreciate how it was... We came to Austin to party and a litle bit to visit. The location of the house is really nice about1 15 20 min by walk to get to the center of city. But the place is shared with dance lessons and languages classes. We knew this. But what we didnt know was the fact that it begins really early in the morning and the walls of the room we slept in are very thin and some holes let all the sound comes in. When you go out at night you really dont want to be waking up at 8 or 9 am by people you dont know. And you share the bathroom with all of them so its difficult to find a good time to take a shower or go to the toilet easily. Also everyone says its really clean and spacious. Spacious if you are alone why not (and even its not that big..) but it wasnt as clean as that. 
To resume i would say if you are here for 2 nights its ok but more, exept if you like to wake up early during your vacations, maybe yoy shouldnt. But once again Monica and Gustavo were nice and at least we have washed our clothes for free :)."
2461589,41908223,2015-08-09,28999630,Tarek,"Monica was a great host! Great place if you just wanna hit 6th Street, party all night, and then crash."
2461589,47947142,2015-09-21,14129050,Angel,"Monica's place is just as advertised. It is a room behind the dance studio, but I had no trouble with noise or anything. The bathroom is across a hallway but, again, I was left to myself the brief time I stayed. Monica's place has a neat, quirky ambiance.  It's not really for hanging out but very convenient for east 6th and the festival i attended. I'd stay again. Thanks Monica!"
2461589,49347688,2015-10-03,3554819,Joshua,Monica was very friendly and accommodating. It is in a nice part of Austin and about 10 mins walk to interesting neighbourhoods. It is probably more suited to people who like interaction and meeting people as there might be people at the Community Centre there when you are. 
2461589,51253733,2015-10-18,8676389,Marilyn & Cole,"Terrific & convenient location to historic Ybor City! Spacious, clean, inviting home with lots of commodities. Good communication and just stellar B&B experience!  Highly recommended! !!"
2461589,51519966,2015-10-20,8676389,Marilyn & Cole,"Great location and charming as can be! If you want a unique experience,  book here! I really liked the community-vibe and easy walk to hip eastside shops & nightlife. Artist-friendly atmosphere"

It's a beautiful home, and Caroline and Brian were friendly and accommodating. Since I make travel arrangements as part of my job, it's so helpful to work with people who respond to emails quickly and are flexible about check-in and check-out times. Thank you Caroline and Brian!"

3479062,26293191,2015-02-09,4103417,Micol,Great house close to everything on South Congress.  Caroline was extremely communicative over email and text and made us feel very welcome.  The set-up of the house is very interesting and allowed all of us (3 couples) to have our own space and privacy.  
3479062,28206715,2015-03-20,6082920,Taizo,Nice house at great location. Super clean. The Texas-size 3b nearly 3000 sqft. Each bedroom has very good privacy. 
3479062,34405334,2015-06-08,1432482,Heather,"Caroline was a fantastic host. She was very helpful, nice, personable  and flexible with check in and check out.

2387041,30992017,2015-04-30,29831730,Apurva,The hosts were great. Room and the bathroom are kinda in a corner so easy to access and not intrusive. Place is extremely clean and David provides a lot of useful information. 
2387041,37088054,2015-07-04,26988033,Gael,"My first Airbnb experience I will never regret!
Very clean, cozy, tastefully decorated, spacious, with a welcoming atmosphere and so close to the Arboratum. Even better than described!
Hosts are very kind, respectful and open minded people.
I fully recommend this place and would book it again without any hesitation.
Thank you guys!"

2387041,50360310,2015-10-11,1922663,Harold,"David and Charles are great hosts and the space was clean and comfortable as advertised.  Their dogs Gigi and Peanut stole the show.  It was great being around knowledgable Austinites with well behaved, fun pets.  I highly recommend to any traveler looking for a place in the Austin area."
8268045,48126659,2015-09-23,43966789,Nicholas,Couldn't have asked for a better first time experience on AirBnb. Al was quick to respond and filled me in on all the necessary info. The apartment is perfectly comfortable and ideal for someone who simply needs the basics. The area is great too with there being a huge outdoor graffiti gallery just down the street. I would highly recommend staying here if you're in town for a couple days and want to be close to the action. Thanks again Al. 
8268045,49858099,2015-10-06,1579383,Matthew,"Al was timely, polite, and accommodating. The neighborhood is close to downtown, and right by the flagship Whole Foods. The apartment was clean and tidy, along with clean linens, and nice beverages and snacks. He even picked up and Apple TV, which he didn't have to do. All around a great experience in Austin, TX!"
8268045,51074895,2015-10-17,36638902,Sai,"The apartment was charming and very comfortable. Loved sitting out on the porch watching the sunrise against the Austin skyline.

He had some amazing recommendations on where to eat and what to do locally! He was super attentive and flexible and made our stay really amazing! The place is great and ample space! The Apple TV was an awesome addition. Would definitely stay there again. Very great and Texas feel. "
2292679,20830426,2014-10-06,16836155,Christy,"My friend and I came to Austin for ACL and could not have asked for anything more from Caitlin's house.  It was event more fantastic than pictured and she gave us to warmest welcome.  What a delight to receive a text asking for our beer, wine and breakfast preferences.  This is a great spot and one you should definitely snatch up if you have the chance."
2292679,52093859,2015-10-26,9473779,Eric,"Was great Caitlin was very helpful, place was clean, drinks and food were left for us, bed was comfortable, everything was perfect highly recommended"

7747487,45451439,2015-09-02,41315019,Laura,We had a really good time staying at Jeff's. He was really welcoming and knew a lot about the area because we were clueless. Really friendly and wanted to stay an extra night ☺️ 
7747487,45542449,2015-09-03,15303928,Chain,"Jeff is a very friendly outgoing guy. Upon arrival he helped me find a few great places to eat, and gave me advice on things to do in the area. Later that night he was around to hangout and we spoke for hours. It made me feel like I was staying at a friends house and not just renting a room. When I move here and settle in, I hope to keep in touch with Jeff. "
7747487,45627175,2015-09-04,35897132,Alareena,"Just a soft bed with clean white sheets in a simple room. Perfect for getting some sleep. No frills, no fuss, priced right and conveniently located. Shhhhh don’t tell anybody! Uh oh, looks like the secret’s already out."

There is a strong understanding of what it means to make a guest feel like at home in his sense of hospitality. We had no idea where to go in Austin, but he was able to give us a page full of Awesome places to eat and hang out. The dogs in his home are absolutely gorgeous and are extremely friendly. I definitely recommend him, I would do it all over again. Book with him!"

His place is within walking distance of a Cuban Sandwich cafe which is a must!

The room itself is exactly as depicted in the photos.  The bed is very comfy,

The bathroom could have been better.  The drains seem blocked and drain very slowly.  This is something that I think Jeff can fix easily which will improve the experience for future guests."
7747487,48488379,2015-09-26,33233602,Ashley,Jeff answered all of my questions and was welcoming. I felt comfortable and safe during my stay. This is a great place to lay your head for a few days on a great value

He took the time to welcome us upon arrival, provided us with a wealth of good (food) tips and was always ready to help if necessary. The room is as described, spacious and with a very comfy bed (we liked the fact of being able to use the house's fancy kitchen space and living room), the two dogs are super friendly and the house is located in a very quiet and pretty neighborhood (easily accessible by bike from the city center). We would recommend this address without hesitation -- definitely an excellent value for the price. Thanks again, Jeff, and hopefully see you around in the coming years!"
7747487,49698564,2015-10-05,36575078,Helin,Jeff was responsive and easy to find. The bedroom is spartan and comfortable with a huge bed! I liked that there was an extension cord everywhere.

7747487,51410998,2015-10-19,4632680,Meredith,"Jeff was really great. Very friendly and willing to give recommendations. I liked that it was close to the HEB and Torchy's Tacos. 

Great value for the space. "
7747487,52386869,2015-10-28,46413046,Kelly,"I feel very lucky that Jeff's listing came up at the top of my list while looking for a place last minute. As far as the place goes, the bed was so huge and comfortable, I was sad I had leave it and be up so early for my interview. There was never a fight for the bathroom, in fact, I never heard or saw other guests he had. After connecting with him through airbnb and meeting him in person, it's no wonder he's booked far in advance. He anticipated most of the questions I had, and was helpful with orienting me to the area. I was in town for a job interview, and he even offered to ask me questions so I could practice my answers. Jeff is very easy to talk to, and had many recommendations for great places to eat. Will definitely be keeping in touch, whether or not I end up staying at Jeff's again."

2457876,28387571,2015-03-23,1607526,Laura,"Danilo's home is such a great, comfy, clean retreat in Austin in a convenient location. There's plenty of space in the house for 2 people to do their own thing, plus sweet and friendly neighbors if you decide to hang outside in the little front area. He's also one of the most helpful, kind and accommodating hosts I've ever had! I would absolutely recommend booking with him! "

The place was in immaculate condition and in a very convenient location - SoCo area is awesome. Would absolutely recommend - no complaints. "

The apartment was very clean, neat, and appealing.  We had a very nice shower that was big enough for 2, a king sized bed that was like heaven and a great kitchen for cooking and enjoying a candle lit dinner.

Dr. Nathan was easily accessible at all times, but in no way intrusive.

We only stayed one night, but if we had a longer stay it would have been perfect to accommodate our needs.

You will enjoy both the host and the property on your next trip to Austin!"
8513122,48668519,2015-09-27,15744827,Melissa,"Very pleasant. Nice add-ons. The apartment was as described. Everything we could need was in the room - snacks, water, TV, wifi, etc. The host, Dr. Nathan, was in the other room. He gave us some tips on where to go and what to do and then spent most of the rest of the time in his room or out uber driving. In all, we had a nice stay."

I am sorry I was in and out before we were able to actually meet, but it was a perfect fit, close to the city, with a made bed and everything! I hope its ok that I crept into the kitchen for a glass of water when I get in at night : ). I wish you all the best!"
2532612,11033423,2014-03-17,1157107,Javier,"Deana was a great host, my girlfriend and I stayed with her for two nights during SXSW.  When we arrived she was not able to be at the house but made easy accommodations for us to get into the property.  The space was just as the pictures had shown, a wonderfully comfortable bed in a private room of the main house.  We had access to the other public parts of the house although we did not use it much as we went out to explore Austin a majority of the time.  The room was very comfortable,  a very comfortable pillow-top mattress and soft sheets were just the perfect way to cap off a day of adventures in Austin.  The bathroom was very clean and had a modern shower head with adjustable spray settings and hand held shower head.  The house is just off of I-35 with two walking distance bus stops we used to get into downtown, there is also a near by Park-n-Ride although we did not try it.  Deana was a gracious and accommodating host, she provided us coffee in the morning and some snacks and other necessities by the bedside.  I would recommend this listing and gladly stay with Deana again! "
2532612,11569496,2014-04-07,13747070,Rachael,"Lovely little house in a great location about a mile from UT.  I loved staying here.  Deana was very welcoming and helpful, and I would absolutely recommend staying with her.  "
2532612,11726466,2014-04-13,957832,Nancy,"Deana is such a lovely host- very cultured and warm. We enjoyed our morning chat & coffee with her. The house is spotless, very clean and in a lovely neighbourhood. Parking is fantastic- right outside the house! The bed was comfortable, we woke up to birds singing, the shower was spacious and the natural light that came in to the bathroom put a huge smile on your face. I highly recommend this host!"
2532612,11777814,2014-04-14,9738214,Arturo,"Such a wonderful place, everything was perfect and the location is great. Thank you for letting me stay at your place. "
2532612,13993797,2014-06-09,2257236,Monique,"Perfect location for our weekend at the UT pool.  The bed was heavenly! My head hit the pillow and that's all she wrote.  If you are a cat lover Deana's little gem has an entertaining personality.  Definitely on our ""stay again list."""
2532612,15296893,2014-07-06,1932873,Naomi,It's a pleasant stay :) I like the soft bed. The room is clean and cozy. The house and backyard are nice. Thank you. 
2532612,18727537,2014-08-31,17891349,Ethan,Deana was extremely gracious.  This is my first time leaving a review but I felt obligated due to the great hospitality.  The location is right by public transit and Deana is very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend this stay.
2532612,18866027,2014-09-01,20702676,Xiaofei,Deana is a great host. Stay here makes my trip a pleasure.
2532612,18973721,2014-09-03,14627961,Mandy,"We had a lovely four poster bed in Deana's home and had the run of the house. Her place was also easily accessible through public transport and there is a huge supermarket just across the road from her, both things which are important to us travelling on a budget.
Deana herself was an amazing host and it felt more like we were visiting an old friend than someone who started off as a complete stranger. Deana gave us a lot of insight into Austin, dropped us off a couple of places and cooked us dinner the first night (her grilling skills are top notch!) All in all we had a fantastic stay with Deana and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves"
2532612,19237897,2014-09-08,14116341,Karen,Deanna was a great host. Her house is really clean and cute. The location is very convenient to UT and downtown Austin. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked great. I liked the fact that it was just us and the host. She went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. Would definitely stay there again. 
2532612,20105555,2014-09-23,1769348,Dianne,"Deana was an extremely kind and considerate host. Our bedroom was extra nice with a very comfy bed, soft sheets, and lovely furniture. Deana was very generous with our use of her home and also offered information to help us as we found our way around Austin."
2532612,20319322,2014-09-27,6050481,Rob,"As with the last rental we got through Airbnb, we rented this room for my mother-in-law, who was visiting to see her grandson. The room worked out perfectly. The house is very cute, well maintained, and decorated. The neighborhood is very conveniently located in Central Austin. 

Deana, the host, was extremely quick to reply to our messages, and was at the house when she said she'd be. So getting a key and getting settled was a snap. She also gave us a walk through of the house.

My MIL was very happy with everything about the rental: location, cleanliness, organization, kitchen, etc. She told us she's definitely stay there again when she visits. Highly recommend the room to anyone visiting Austin, especially if you want to be close to downtown.
"
2532612,20475036,2014-09-29,4311888,Ana Gabriela,"We visited Austin for my birthday and spend one night at Deana's house. Although Deana was not there, she would promptly respond to any text message I sent her. Also, we had no problems getting in the house and finding our way around. The entire house is very charming and clean and the location was perfect for us. Deana's cat is a cutie (I am allergic to cats and had no problems with hers). The only ""down side"" was that the bed was soooo comfortable we did not want to get up! :)
  We can only thank Deana's hospitality and would definitely stay in her house again."
2532612,20902243,2014-10-07,6096067,Lynda,"Had a very pleasant stay at Deana's home. Deana is super sweet and my friend and I felt completely at home. Easy check in/out, and just case you forgot any essentials she has a basket of toiletries for you to use in the bedroom! Very close to grocery stores/gas stations/bus stop. "
2532612,22046900,2014-10-28,22730348,Daniel,"Deana was lovely, she was really organised with regards to the keys, we were able to get in when she wasn't in initially. We were made to feel welcome and provided with coffee when hungover. The house is clean, well kept and in a nice area. Deana gave us loads of tips about what to see and where to go, she improved the experience though this advice. Thoroughly recommended! "
2532612,27623396,2015-03-08,2574001,Ernest,"despite my bus being over an hour late deana met me at the bus station. i was then greeted by her friend sasha when we arrived at the house, although she was very quiet. she later turned out to be very friendly.the room was very comfortable and perfectly located for walking to the LBJ library and Congress and even downtown. deana was extremely helpful in guiding me in how to get to places. definitely would return if i ever go back to austin. (by the way sasha is a cat)"
2532612,28157792,2015-03-19,22123838,Edwin,"The place was lovely and just as described, but looks better in person. Deana was gracious and very friendly. Sasha the cat was also very friendly."
2532612,28320233,2015-03-22,23657640,Emma,"Deana was great - she was very communicative, quick to respond, and friendly, and made sure we got the keys when she wasn't around when we arrived. The house/room is exactly like the pictures. "
2532612,28423867,2015-03-23,275190,Reginald,"Deana is a very gracious host with a lovely home in Central Austin, very close to UT and down town.  She was very accommodating and generous in her hospitality while also giving you space.  I enjoyed my time there and highly recommend others to stay here!"
2532612,28901412,2015-03-31,4001882,Gautam,Deanna was a great host and very helpful during my stay. The place was wonderful and very well maintained.
2532612,29794726,2015-04-12,7802424,(email hidden),"Deana was a fantastic and conscientious host.

She has a beautiful home in a convenient neighborhood, and the room was exactly as described. Deana also provided a toiletries basket, which I did not use but was grateful to see. The bed was comfortable, the location was ideal, and Deana is happy to talk about local destinations.

Deana worked from her detached office while I was there, but was responsive and picked up when I was ready to check in. 

Great house, great host, A++ would stay again. Thanks Deana."
2532612,33051873,2015-05-24,1534620,Robert,"Great experience staying at Deana's house--extremely clean and comfortable. Would recommend the place to anyone looking to stay in a central and cool location in Austin. Thank you, Deana!"
2532612,41155346,2015-08-04,39597939,Podie,"Deana is a fantastic host! She is extremely thoughtful and her place is very well situated within walking distance of a 24 hr Fiesta supermarket, a Subway restaurant, and a coffeeshop down the road. 

If using public transportation, you'll also have no problem catching a bus from Deana's home. Parking on her quiet residential street also doesn't appear to be a problem should you need to.

My wife and I were transitioning to a new life in Austin and needed a base from which to sort our apartment search, while getting our bearings in the City. What we found was a place so naturally comfortable that it took the stress off of the big move. 

Deana herself is educated, well traveled, easy-going, and a most gracious host. 

This was our first Airbnb experience and we are proud to say that Deana truly is our first friend here in Austin! Leaving Deana's place was as hard as leaving home was a couple days ago.

Thank you Deana! "
2532612,42460146,2015-08-13,20308486,Dalin,"Deana is really a great and amazing host. My wife and I stayed at her nice place for almost one week which were really impressive memories to us. We arrived at her house very late at night and Deana waited for us and helped us to settle down and we really appreciate her help. Deana replied our emails promptly and gave us useful suggestions regarding the neighborhood and living in Austin. She is really helpful and she did not interrupt unless we have inquiries to her. The room and the entire house we lived in are really nice, clean and handy. The neighborhood is quite, safe and convenient. Her two dogs, Abbie and Jacky are really adorable and we love them! My wife and I keep thinking stopping by Deana's house and visiting them again. We highly recommend Deana's place to stay if you have a chance to visit Austin."
2532612,45848785,2015-09-06,9652055,Chelsea,Deana was very  welcoming and was full of helpful suggestions on great places to eat. The room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

Very comfortable bed and a big (shared) bathroom. Deana helped us with the check-in and check-out to accommodate our schedule. We really enjoyed our stay. "
2532612,47830965,2015-09-21,484595,Tiffany,"We weren't at the house much, mostly just needed a bed to crash in and this provided a very comfy bed. The room was a really nice size and had a tv (which we didn't use, but was nice to see) and alarm clock. The shared bathroom was right next door and was very roomy as well. Deana has some very cute, very friendly dogs as well! "
2532612,48519455,2015-09-27,5476801,Brindle,"Deana was so nice & welcoming. We were only there briefly, but we had everything we needed. The hostess also gave us a great brunch recommendation on our way out of town. We'd definitely stay there again. It's very close to Bass Hall or campus for events. "
2532612,49627597,2015-10-05,26029907,Megan,"Deana was a very friendly and laid back host, which made us feel very welcome and comfortable in her charming home.  The room and neighborhood were very accurately described, very easy to get to and close to downtown.  Other great features included were her sweet pets and the  incredibly comfortable bed.  Overall the location was ideal for our time in Austin.  Overall, we were very pleased with our stay.  We would recommend her place to anyone else looking to stay in Austin through Airbnb! "
166561,381439,2011-07-18,791639,Shannon,"This is an excellent place to stay!  I couldn't have imagined a better set up.  It is perfect for one or two people, and there is a bus directly across the street that can take you downtown.  By cab, it is only about a 5-minute ride or so from downtown.  "
166561,399455,2011-07-26,838574,Tara,"Sovay was very kind and quite welcoming. I had a peaceful, relaxing time staying in her cute little bungalow. Comfy bed, fluffy towels, lovely sunlight, a clean kitchen with pretty stained glass windows, even fresh fruit in the fridge! It is also walking distance to the Green Muse (one of my favorite coffee shops), which is quite nice. I felt well taken care of."
166561,419621,2011-08-04,733821,Anna Catherine,I had a great time in the It-Z bit-Z Bungalow.  it was exactly what I needed. Thank you Sovay for everything!
166561,440231,2011-08-12,563512,Vanessa,"Sovay has done a wonderful job in creating a cozy place to stay right in the heart of Austin.  The bed is fantastically comfortable, for starters.  It's plenty big for two people and there's lots of closet space, and space in the bathroom, to ""move in"" and get settled while you are there.  Plus the location is pretty fantastic - you are walking distance to Polvo's AND Once Over Coffee - some of the best Tex-Mex and THE best coffee in Austin.  We will absolutely stay here again!"
166561,443854,2011-08-14,480944,Courtney,"I had a wonderful experience in Sovay's condo! She was super sweet, easy to get a hold of and made our trip great! Her condo was clean, spacious, adorable and close to downtown. I'd recommend anyone to stay  here! "
166561,455734,2011-08-18,480944,Courtney,Sovey was awesome! My girfriend and I stayed in Sovey's house for 6 days while I found an apartment in Austin. Sovey made sure we were always okay and even stopped by on my first day to town  to make sure I was settling in nicely. Her home was so cute and clean + it was the perfect amount of space for my friend and I. We were able to use the kitchen for breakfast and lunch + watch movies on her huge tv screen while we lounged in her comfy bed! I highly recommend her space to anyone. It's so close to the city and Gourdough's(the best donuts I've ever eaten!) 
166561,463564,2011-08-21,900065,David,"I can echo the other positive reviews. My wife and I just stayed at Sovay's Bungalow and with 105 degree weather, we really appreciated both the air conditioner and having a fridge in which we could keep cold drinks.  Very clean, and good location. We made great use of Torchy's Tacos (2 min drive up the street) and the heart of south congress is walkable or a very reasonable cab ride. 

Also really appreciated Sovay's list of suggested things to see and do in Austin. "
166561,474336,2011-08-25,867164,Maria,Very cute and nicely decorated place; clean and quiet.  Sovay was very good about following up on my questions and ensuring that everthing was well taken care of.  Thanks for the excellent hospitality!

166561,559276,2011-09-23,910338,Cassidy,"I loved my stay in the Bungalow!  It was clean and calm respite from the heat of Texas, the perfect place to come home to from my days at working at the office when I just wanted to relax and cook.  Huge plus as a blogger was the zippy WiFi!!! :)

Loved getting to know Sovay during a memorable evening spent in the salon!  So memorable in fact that I returned for a service of my own!

Highly recommended and make sure to eat at the local Mexican restaurants.  Some of the best I've had outside of Mexico itself!!"
166561,568831,2011-09-26,967035,Lauren,"I can not say enough good things about Sovay's wonderful little bungalow!  If you are coming to Austin, this is the place to stay... close to everything fun, very private, clean, and beautiful.  And Sovay is an excellent host... I had completely forgotten to pack sunscreen for our trip, and there in the bathroom, Sovay had an array of all the little things you might forget to pack on your trip... including sunscreen! Thank you Sovay for a wonderful experience in Austin :)"
166561,583670,2011-09-30,1148238,Megan,"The Bungalow was fantastic and Sovay was so great to coordinate with! I spent very little time at home so I wasn't able to meet Sovay but she has a wonderful place. Great location and very welcoming. I especially enjoyed the coffee shop and food trucks up the street. I feel like I had a much more authentic Austin experience than I would have in a hotel.

Thank you for everything!

166561,712899,2011-11-13,874901,Margot,"The bungalow is fab - so clean, light, airy and spacious!  I only wish I'd been able to spend more time there.  Sovay left all sorts of goodies, in the kitchen, and especially the bathroom - I've never seen such a well-stocked bathroom in a rental!  I had fun trying out the various unguents...  There's a huge TV, the AC heats as well as cools (necessary for chilly nights). and the wi-fi is really easy to access.

Sovay herself is charm personified, and she provided a long list of recommendations for things to do and see in Austin.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the SOCO It-Z bit-Z Bungalow."

After traveling for over 12 hours I needed a nap - the bed is quite possibly the most comfortable I've ever been in! There was a host of amenities offered in the bathroom and the kitchen.

166561,799878,2011-12-22,1426373,Alexandra,"We have officially found our getaway bungalow in Austin! It was the perfect home away from home after driving all the way from San Francisco. Not only was it spotless and adorable but also very cozy ( and pet friendly!). The location was a mere minutes from our family and even closer to our new favorite vegan eatery. We will definitely recommend this gem to all our friends and family passing through Austin. Thanks, Sovay, for being a great hostess."
166561,809686,2011-12-28,1289727,Patricia,I spent a lovely Christmas Holiday at Sovay's and found the experience quite lovely.  The cottage was immaculate and filled with special homey touches.  Salon Kitty put a special smile on my face.  I will return to her lovely home in South Austin.

I really appreciated the little touches such as extra toiletries in the bathroom, and M&Ms the kitchen, etc.  There was more street traffic noise than I expected, but overall it was a very nice stay."

Sovay offered to take me to the airport when I couldn't get ahold of my ride...she was very accommodating! I would recommend singles or couples to stay there anytime!  The location was pretty close to where I wanted to be...only a 20-25 minute walk to downtown.  Also, Sovay was always quick to respond if I had a question/concern!"

166561,941293,2012-02-22,1520924,Jana,"I have stayed at Sovay's lovely bungalow for 5 days. The bungalow is lovely, clean, it had everything I wished for and more. Great location too, close to the centre of town yet quiet to have a good night sleep, and a very good Mexican restaurant next door .  Sovay and Santiago are amazing people, very helpful, the kind of people that I will never forget. Thank you Sovay! If I am ever in Austin again, no way I am staying anywhere else."
166561,951907,2012-02-27,1579217,Tyler,"The SOCO Bungalow was exaclty as described and as portrayed in the photos.  It was clean, comfortable, well appointed and within walking distance to much that south Austin has to offer, while being just a short drive or bus ride to downtown.   I didn't get a chance to meet Sovay personally, but my wife did and she remarked at how friendly and welcoming she was.  We'll be back. "
166561,961714,2012-03-01,352238,Ann,"Sovay's bungalow was great.  Plenty enough room to spread out, very nicely done kitchen and bathroom.  The bed was very comfortable.  Lots of fun things to do within walking distance, and plenty of eating and drinking options.  She went above and beyond as a hostess to make sure we had an enjoyable stay.  Many thanks and highly recommended."
166561,970713,2012-03-05,1573998,Andrey,"This was my first Airbnb experience. I was very pleased with the place. The location was optimal and the place itself was wonderful. The kitchen, the size of the room and all the amenities were as described on the portal. 

Great place to stay! Highly Recommend!"
166561,1026906,2012-03-21,400984,Marilyn,Charming bungalow with great location.  We walked to breakfast and shopping on congress .  Very clean with a comfortable bed. Sovay provided us with a lot of helpful information before we arrived.  This was a great place to stay in Austin .
166561,1039938,2012-03-25,1504495,Mel,"Great place - comfy bed, bright kitchen.  Convenient location.  A perfect place to stay.  Thanks! 

"
166561,1081370,2012-04-04,26015,Dana,"The bungalow worked perfect for a long weekend. It had everything we needed and was in a great location, close to Soco and Downtown. Thanks for the hospitality!"
166561,1096493,2012-04-08,1689294,Robert And Angela,"Sovay's cottage was super cute and super clean. Everyone from the salon in the front was nice and friendly. Sovay's helper, Santiago, was very nice and very helpful as well. I am kinda a clean freak, but was super surprised and delighted on how clean and well maintained the cottage's condition. The kitchen is well stocked, and she even has a few extras, like soap, bandages, mouthwash, and things of that nature.

This place is relatively close to downtown and it is easy to get to the major highways. If you don't want the hassle of parking downtown, no problem, the buses run right outside the door, and a cab ride would not be too expensive. It is also a mile or so to the hip area of south congress, not a bad walk. 

We highly recommend Sovay's cottage on south first. We would totally stay here again, though I do want to check out her other place as well! 

We hope you enjoy your stay in Austin. I am from Austin, and miss it terribly. We hope to be moving back in a year or so. 

Best Wishes,

Angela and Bobby Cumo"
166561,1151741,2012-04-19,918924,Kim,Everyone else has pretty much said it all- this is a great space with everything you need!
166561,1216144,2012-05-02,1789267,Stacey,"My husband and I spent two nights in the bungalow after a few nights downtown at a conference hotel. It was a nice change and put us closer to S. Congress. The bungalow has everything you need, it is clean and well decorated. I recommend it for your next visit to Austin. However, it is a bit of a hike to anything, so consider a bike or car. "
166561,1246077,2012-05-08,214592,Natalie,"The bungalow was very cute and had more than enough space for my husband and I. My husband is 6'8"" so I was a bit worried about the footboard on the bed, but it was plenty long even for him! The bungalow feels a bit remote in location, but you're about a 10-minute walk from cute spots on 1st Street and a 15-minute walk from the action on SoCo. It was very clean, and had all sorts of handy products in the bathroom -- a fresh bar of soap, sunscreen, hand wipes, etc. "
166561,1282912,2012-05-15,1229388,Susan,"Comfortable, clean, in a great location. Everything is exactly as pictured and described. Close to some awesome restaurants--Polvos, Mueller's BBQ, Barton Creek Cafe, Torchy's Tacos, and El Tacoriddo, the first drive-through taco stand I've ever seen.  You'll need a car or bike to get to Town Lake or the downtown area. All in all, a sweet spot and I'd gladly stay there again."
166561,1293316,2012-05-17,560237,Tyler,"Had a great time, very clean, nice place, and Sovay provided some very nice smelling toiletries.  My friend and I never smelled better while cruising the streets of Austin.  

The best thing about the place is the location.  Within walking distance of a number of excellent food and drink options.  If you're a foodie and want a flavour of Austin it would be tough to beat this location for access to top quality mexican and barbeque.  "
166561,1314487,2012-05-21,990685,Elizabeth,"Great location, very cute and clean, and lots of amenities (even peppermint patties!). I will definitely consider staying again in the future."
166561,1340455,2012-05-24,1402719,Marisa,We really enjoyed our time in the bungalow! It is very clean and comfortable - with easy access to all the placed you want to go in Austin. 
166561,1426395,2012-06-06,1382494,Eleanor,"It-Z-bit-Z bungalow was great.  Sovay is first class all the way.  Don't want to say to many wonderful things about it though, as then everybody will know and I'll never be able to find a week thats not rented months in advance. :)  "
166561,1478073,2012-06-14,1772355,Josh,"We really enjoyed our stay at the It-Z bit-Z Bungalow while we were in Austin. The location was great, no more than a $10 cab ride to get downtown and easy access to busses. The room was clean, well-furnished, and had everything we could possibly need. The fresh eggs and beer in the fridge were an added bonus! We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin and highly recomend it for everyone."
166561,1627051,2012-07-04,1647224,Laura,"My daughter and I needed a safe, clean, and convenient place to stay for 16 days.  We abslolutely loved the bungalow.  It is exactly how it appears online.  We felt safe and were close to everything we needed.  "
166561,1662170,2012-07-09,1985394,Katrina,My fiance and I really enjoyed our stay in Sovay's bungalow. It was convenient to downtown and near a bus stop. She keeps it clean and well stocked with travel essentials. Would definitely recommend it to others visiting Austin. 
166561,1704251,2012-07-14,2592069,Amy,"My husband and I truly enjoyed staying in the adorable bungalow for a recent 5 day trip to Austin! Everything was exactly as pictured and described! Safe, convenient location. Excellent dining, shopping, etc just a  quick walk away! Thanks for being such a wonderful host! "
166561,1840740,2012-07-30,2898784,Rachael,"We had a great stay at Sovay's bungalow. We were able to walk everywhere, even downtown is just a 30 minute walk. The place was very clean and private. It was stocked with everything you can think of needing on a trip, from starbucks coffee to shower gel. We were also able to bring our dog as well, who had enough space to play around and be completely happy. There weren't a whole lot of places to take him to go to the bathroom if you're used to a yard, but there is a park across the street with a lot of grassy areas that was convenient. Our dog is mostly an indoor pup, so that really wasn't that big of a deal for us. Overall really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend!!"
166561,1945527,2012-08-10,3185050,Katherine,"Great place! Clean, well-located, and cute. Thanks!"
166561,2081912,2012-08-24,1562474,Karla,"What a jewel!   great place...wonderful host...super time in Austin.
We love staying in either of Sovay's properties."
166561,2197862,2012-09-04,179530,Gabriel,"Sovay's bungalow on first street was the ideal launching point for exploring Austin and a wonderful space to return to and relax. The kitchen is bright and welcoming with all the amenities you need to cook a meal. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless and stocked with plenty of aromatic shampoo and lotion. First street is a little busy but the bungalow is removed from the street and we were able to bike to South Congress in under 10 min, downtown in under 15, and Barton Springs in 20-30. We would recommend this bungalow to anyone visiting Austin who wants location, comfort, and privacy. Thanks Sovay!

Gabe and Sarah"
166561,2249611,2012-09-10,3152513,Christin,"Loved the Cozy Bungalow!  Close to Everything in Austin!  Exceptionally clean, quiet, comfortable.  We really appreciated the kindness and hospitality of the Hosts.  Would ALWAYS recommend this treasure stay to others.  Enjoy!"
166561,2304213,2012-09-17,2935233,Claire,"SoCo bungalow was a little further from the action of South Congress than we had anticipated (15 min walk) but it's a central location with easy bus or car access to South Congress, South Austin, and Downtown.  South First is a busy street, not residential.  Nice little kitchen, quiet place to stay."
166561,2363549,2012-09-21,64806,Simon,"Sovay is an absolutely exceptional host and her place was just what I needed.  Within minutes of booking my reservation I received a welcome email and a list of cool places, helpful tips, driving directions, and anything and everything else I could possibly want.  

Communication was lightning fast and I was shocked at how efficient, kind and accommodating she was.  

The place was impeccably clean, had great added amenities and the perfect person touch that could never be found in a hotel.  

Great location, it was a $12 cab ride for me to convention center and was much cheaper than renting a car having to pay for parking. 

I would most definitely stay here again and recommend Sovay's place without question to any and all of my friends."
166561,2438067,2012-09-28,2011754,Julie,I loved the It-Z bit-Z bungalow! The cottage itself is very warm and comfortable. The location is very central to SoCo and the downtown area. Sovay was a great host. I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
166561,2680657,2012-10-22,3472916,Frank,"What a great place. My wife and 2 dogs spent the weekend here and loved it. A nice park across the street to walk the puppies and so close to the nightlife of Austin. We will definitely be back soon. Thanks so much Sovay for letting us stay in your awesome cottage.
Regards,
Frank"
166561,2786026,2012-11-02,2011754,Julie,"I am a return customer to the It-Z bit-Z Bungalow. The bungalow is cute, clean and very comfortable and the location is great. Sovay is an excellent host. I highly recommend this property. "
166561,2847881,2012-11-10,1786607,Shawna,"Cottage was nice and in convenient area to access the city. Street was busy with cars and ambulances throughout the night. Watch for bicyclists, especially when there is no bicycle lane. They do not always ride in the flow of traffic and then get very unhappy when you try to pass!!"
166561,2862763,2012-11-12,2229634,Austin,Great Place. Very affordable and in a great neighborhood. Very close to anything you could want to do while in Austin.
166561,2886075,2012-11-15,3751632,Keith,"This property is perfect for a stay in Austin.  Clean accommodations, extremely comfortable bed and full kitchen.  The best part about this place is the location.  Situated in the South Congress district, its really close to incredible eats and shops.  I highly recommend this place."
166561,2929413,2012-11-20,250327,Damon,"Sovay's Bungalow made my wife squeal with delight. It was very conveniently located, clean and most of all charming. Great privacy as well with easy access to cabs and buses. Thank you! "
166561,2943332,2012-11-22,3194020,Nick,"Everything about Sovay and her bungalow is perfect! 

Sovay: Gave a long list of amazing recommendations and was a great communicator! 

The bungalow: Clean, safe, quick drive/cab to the main spots in Austin, easy parking, fully equipped kitchen and very comfortable! We would definitely recommend Sovay's bungalow to anyone visiting the Austin area! We hope to come back again soon!"
166561,2963442,2012-11-26,3380253,Miguel,"My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights and We loved this place !!
Very cozy and well furnished with lots of attention to detail.
We will be back !!! :)"
166561,2988696,2012-11-28,76463,Ken,Sovay and her assistant were very kind.  The neighborhood that the bungalow is located in is incredibly cute.  It is pretty central to everything in Austin.  The bungalow has a full kitchen stocked with everything you would need to cook your food.  The bed is very comfortable and the TV is really nice.  The AC comes in handy on those hot days.  The bathroom was fully equipped and she provided me with clean towels and extra toiletries.  There was also a walk in closet that helped me organize my clothes and a full couch that could sleep another person.   I would take this over a Westin any day.  I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will look for this in future Austin visits. 
166561,3031101,2012-12-05,3960041,Talbot,"A wonderful place to play as home base for long weekend shenanigans. It's not a bother to get to the airport or downtown. And has plenty of space and amenities for 2 for sure. I didn't spend much time there, but it was wonderfully furnished and provided just the right kind of place for me. Perfect fit. :)"
166561,3047791,2012-12-08,367723,Derek,"I really liked this cozy little bungalow.  It was easy to find and I do like the SoCo hood.  Lot of good stuff going on there these days.  It was a little too far to walk to downtown on a regular basis, so would have loved to have a bike, but otherwise it was great.  

Check-in/check-out super easy...I would definitely stay there again."
166561,3063229,2012-12-11,795702,Eric,"This was our second time staying at one of Sovay's places, the first time at It-z bit-z bungalow. It's perfect! She does an amazing job making it feel like you're at home for your stay. Everything from the comfort of the bed, to a perfect location. I will definitely try to stay at Sovay's place on my next visit to Austin. Thanks Sovay!"
166561,3112035,2012-12-18,3998426,Nigel,"This cottage was absolutely as charming and efficient as advertised. Toiletries and silverware were accommodatingly left, giving the home a very welcoming appeal upon entering. 
The location of the bungalow might be a bit intense for some, located very close to the busy intersection of s.1st and Oltorf, but this is also where/near a wealth of unique shopping and dining is located in Austin, so don't let first impressions of location put you off. "
166561,3145546,2012-12-24,2941808,Marissa,"The Bungalow is very well located and good for a short stay in Austin's Southern half. Lots of restaurants, shops and things to do nearby within walking, driving or bus-riding distance. There were thoughtful, hotel-like essentials like milk, toiletries, hair dryer, coffee, etc.  "
166561,3170547,2012-12-28,2278628,Mari,Very comfy and pretty well outfitted.  I had to move the floor lamp over to the bedside because there are no reading lamps.  Easy access to town and to the freeways getting out of town.  The only real drawbacks are that South 1st is noisy and the bungalow is bright at night.  
166561,3314599,2013-01-09,3110503,Melanie,Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the bungalow! Sovay was very accommodating. Great location! Easy to walk anywhere or access public transport. Great little place to stay!
166561,3351796,2013-01-15,4323387,Shelby,The Bungalow is a great home away from home and Sovay makes you feel very comfortable. She gives you helpful information about Austin and is very hospitable. As my first airbnb experience I have to say it was wonderful! Thanks again!
166561,3376089,2013-01-20,134872,Bernhard,"A good location just a few minutes from the bus that takes you to downtown.  Also walking distance to South Congress Street, which we found interesting and funky.  The accommodation was fine and spacious - had a good kitchen and we appreciated the tea, coffee, sugar, etc. that was there at check-in."
166561,3399256,2013-01-22,1567536,Cari,This was a really great place to stay and visit Austin. It's close to a lot of restraints and shops in the south congress area and also close to downtown. We had a ton of fun on our trip and the cottage is adorable and very cozy!
166561,3422861,2013-01-27,4731222,Julie,"great location close to many cool eateries.  sovay provided us with an awesome detailed list of places to check out, many of which we did.  bungalow was very clean and exactly as the photos show with amenities comparable to a hotel.  very private too.  will definitely recommend it! "
166561,3514264,2013-02-11,2416037,Grace,"The bungalow was perfect for our uses and Sovay provided a lot of extra little amenities that were a nice touch.  The street the bungalow is on is very busy, but close to downtown and other cute areas.  "
166561,3566776,2013-02-18,1217537,Ben,"The bungalow was in excellent shape, very comfortable for two guests, and looked exactly like the pictures. The location is great, convenient to the airport, 10 minutes walk to S. Congress St. bars/restaurants/shops with several options for food and drink within a couple of blocks. Also, Sovay was always very responsive and very helpful throughout the experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this listing to folks seeking an affordable alternative to downtown Austin!"
166561,3610040,2013-02-26,323300,Claudia,"I had a very nice stay at the guesthouse. It was very well equipped, clean and cosy. There is a supermarket really close by and all the nice food carts and shops on South Congress are easy to reach on foot or by bus.
Thank you Sovay and Stephen!"
166561,3656269,2013-02-28,5049132,Jennifer,"Sovay went out of her way to help with booking conflicts.She was such a friendly and accommodating host!

The bungalow was clean and organized. A nicely stocked kitchen with the tools we needed to make a nice little dinner (and has pretty wood countertops). Comfortable bed with nice linens. A clean bathroom with morroccan oil products (the good stuff). 

The location is right off South Congress, a good morning jog for coffee.

Highly recommended, Thank you!

Thanks!"
166561,3878141,2013-03-24,4582595,Yvonne,"Charming bungalow!  Great location - close to food and shops on 1st Street and South Congress, and a few mins drive or a couple of miles walk to downtown.  The bungalow amenities included body wash, shampoo and conditioner, easy parking, kitchenette, wifi, and tv.  It was a perfect stay for our trip, and we would definitely stay here again!"
166561,4177864,2013-04-16,4334806,Lou & Cali,"Sovay's bungalow was the perfect little spot for us to stay while we attended a friends wedding in Austin. Within walking distance to the Green Pasture's wedding venue and a short drive to most any other attractions. The bungalow's accommodations were (email hidden)fortable bed, large bathroom and bright eat-in kitchen to start the day! Next time we're in Austin I have no doubt we'll be checking to see if Sovay's bungalow is available...thanks!"
166561,4231574,2013-04-21,4874006,Sarah,"Bungalow is exactly as pictured. It's an adorable, roomy place to stay. The amenities make the experience: Sovay provides a travel toothbrush if you've forgotten one, a first-aid kit, feminine hygiene products, and amazing bath gel, conditioner, and shampoo. She also provides a 30-item list of places to eat, city attractions, and practical tips, which led me and my gentleman caller straight to some of the best barbeque we've ever had (thanks, Sovay!). This place was an excellent home base for me and said gentleman caller when we were visiting Austin, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay near the center of Austin. It's less than ten minutes from South Congress and downtown. The only cons are parking-related: there's just one parking space for Bungalow guests, so if you have multiple cars, be prepared to park five or so minutes away in the residential area. And the parking lot at Salon Sovay is extremely small and cramped and awkward to back out of since it's on a fairly busy street. Still, relatively minor issues if you'll be out and about most of the day. All in all, a very pleasant experience. Highly recommend."
166561,4286717,2013-04-24,5284313,Mike,"Very nice stay. Sovay was very helpful. The bungalo is cozy, your home away from home!"
166561,4409668,2013-05-03,625891,Thomas,"I've been living in the US for quite a while now, but I haven't really seen any place other than the San Francisco Bay Area. So my girlfriend and I decided to visit Austin for a change.

Sovay's place was the perfect base for exploring the part of Austin that we were particularly interested in, South Congress. It's a well-kept little house with a full kitchen, so you can easily stay for more than just a few days. We didn't meet Sovay in person, but she is still easily accessible via phone and promptly responds to any issues that you may encounter.

If we went to Austin again, we would come back.
"
166561,4494802,2013-05-08,5804700,Jacob,"Very cozy, very clean place to stay.  Despite being ""it-Z bit-Z"" there is plenty of room and sunlight.  Sovay was warm and quick to respond and provided excellent tips for our first trip to Austin.
Coffee, toiletries, wifi and guide books were at hand.
I would definitely recommend the Bungalow and would be happy to stay again.
Thanks!"
166561,4672287,2013-05-20,1752051,Martin,This was the perfect place for what I needed.  It was well maintained and comfortable.  It was easy to get to and located near lots of great restaurants.  I highly recommend it.
166561,4750418,2013-05-23,3976932,Cynthia,What a sweety! Savoy was wonderful to us and I will stay with her again when in Austin. Such a homey-ier perspective than a motel; just loved the charm of the guest house and the area it was located.
166561,4781464,2013-05-25,2252442,Bill,"A great lodging place in Austin. Convenient to all center-city locations, super-clean and comfortable, with lots of extras (e.g. teas, etc., in the kitchen) that enhanced the experience. We'd stay here again."
166561,4807558,2013-05-27,1315455,Debbie,"Had such a nice visit in Sovay's Bungalo.  It's an ideal location for South Austin, S Congress, S 1st,, close to the airport and loads of conveniences.  The bungalow is exactly as advertised and better.  It's immaculately clean, and Sovay has thought of all sorts of nice bathroom and kitchen extras that make you feel at home.  It's priced perfectly and worth the rental."
166561,4923509,2013-06-02,6200083,Eric,Great spot with a great owner.  I stayed here for almost a week and it was the perfect fit.  Highly recommended.
166561,5208896,2013-06-18,1282791,Emily,"My husband and I stayed at the bungalow for a long weekend, and had a great experience! The location is terrific- in close proximity to lots of great shops and restaurants. The bungalow itself is bright and cozy. Sovay was super helpful when my husband got locked out, and arranged for him to pick up a spare key. Great stay, and would highly recommend to anyone headed to ATX!"
166561,5458357,2013-07-01,1006465,Tracy,"This place was centrally located. The host was very helpful/nice to be around. She left me to my privacy, however told me that if/when I needed anything to let her or her assistant know. The place was very clean. The only critic I have was the window unit did not work as cool as I would have liked. The room was very HOT way into the night. However, it was RECORD HEAT for Austin!!!
"
166561,5566314,2013-07-06,6965795,Glenda,"This was my first Airbnb trip and it didn't disappoint. Sovay was super easy to make arrangements with was very responsive. The bungalow is impeccably clean and just as cute as the photos. The window AC unit was adequate for the space even though I stayed over the 4th of July holiday, which was a concern for me. The location is pretty great: close to highways and about a mile from prime downtown. Glad I booked it and would do it again."
166561,5957591,2013-07-23,7543310,Susan,We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin.  The bungalow was as listed and very comfortable.  The location was ideal for our stay.  We will use this web site again when making travel plans.
166561,6223177,2013-08-04,2529783,Karin,"The Bungalow is in a great location. We were close to all of the things we wanted to do in Austin, Barton Springs, kayaking, South Congress shopping/ dining, and trips downtown. Its also really cute, clean, and comfortable inside. Looks just like the pictures. We really appreciated all of the little amenities and extra touches. We had a great time and I will absolutely keep the bungalow in mind the next time I visit Austin. "
166561,6355997,2013-08-09,7706165,Andrew,Brilliant little location and unit. Great bed. Great kitchen. Great tv. Great area and all round easy hassle free experience. 
166561,6789469,2013-08-25,7777793,Dana,"Everything was perfect! The bungalow is exactly as pictured.  Very clean, everything in working order. Air conditioner worked brilliantly and stocked with great hair and body products!
We were fortunate enough to meet Sovay, who is very personable and ready to help with any suggestions for dining or site seeing.  Located in close proximity to all that Austin has to offer. I would definitely stay here again!"
166561,6940081,2013-08-31,6569053,Brenda,"The SoCo bungalow is adorable, clean, well-furnished and well-stocked with everything you need for a short-term stay.  Sovay's artistic talents are clearly evident in the decor and the setup and amenities of the bathroom are 5 star hotel quality.  Her assistant, Steve, was also very helpful with luggage and even a ride during my move-out process.  Thank you so much for a wonderful stay -- I will be back, hopefully soon!

166561,7043922,2013-09-04,7821007,Danielle,"The SOCO Bungalow was cute and clean - exactly what we needed for a little home base while exploring Austin. The one lost star is only due to it being a little out of the way for our taste (we got tired of taking cabs everywhere), but as soon as we rented a car, the location became a non-issue and had an amazing time. We never actually met Sovay, but someone from the salon out front answered when we called to inquire about a parking permit for their lot and met us within 5 minutes to hand it over to us. It was a nice private spot that served all of our needs. "
166561,7330174,2013-09-16,7725885,Carol,"We had a wonderful time in Austin. Sovay's bungalow was perfect for our stay. Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with nice dishes a few pots and pans, everything you would need to eat in (if you want to). We would love to go back someday.   "
166561,7552716,2013-09-24,2384082,Katy,"Our stay at the SOCO ItZ bitZ Bungalow was great.  We didn't have a car, but were able to walk to all the fun shops and restaurants on South Congress.  It was neat, clean and had many thoughtful touches.  "
166561,7697490,2013-09-30,6215435,Lisa,"I would totally come back and stay, it was a great little Shantee...plenty to walk and see all around, our favorite walking spot, would have to be Freddie's...great little outside spot! 
It was a great space, for our needs, considering we were in & out, most of the time.
I only gave it a four star. Being a girl  and getting ready, it's always nice to have a full length mirror & the space in the bathroom was fabulous, but lacked space for your own personal items, especially since we were there for 5 day's. A girl needs space for ""Products & hair tools"". Flat iron, blow dryer, curling iron... ;) other than that a total 5!  "
166561,8094396,2013-10-15,5945293,Jason,"Sovay's place was in a great location for our ACL trip. The place was very clean and had all of the amenities we could hope for. In addition, Sovay was very polite and extremely helpful with lending insight into the surrounding area and things to do. I would definitely recommend this quaint space for anyone looking to enjoy their time in the great city of Austin."
166561,8212347,2013-10-21,8368820,Kathryn,"We had the perfect first Airbnb experience at the ItZ bitZ Bungalow. It was the perfect size for my husband and I, and a great location in south Austin. Lots of cute amenities (soap, tea, coffee, first aid kit, etc) and a super comfortable bed."
166561,8304510,2013-10-24,9489545,Edward,"Sovay's bungalow, in which she takes rightful pride and for which she shows great care, is exactly as she describes here.  Comfortably appointed, warmly provisioned and as quiet as can be while being near all she kindly outlines in SoCo and downtown Austin, it's a great place."
166561,8404313,2013-10-29,4778984,Helena,"We had a great stay at Sovay's place. Perfect location, close to tons of good restaurants and fun bars. The place was large, clean and nice, just as described with full kitchen supplies etc. Highly recommend this place and we will defiantly come back next time in Austin. "
166561,8549875,2013-11-04,2200618,Bill,"Cute place, well equipped in walking to some nice taco and coffee places."
166561,8663407,2013-11-11,4754874,Bobby,"This little bungalow has pretty much everything you need...comfy bed, kitchen amenities, shower, dishes, etc.   It completely served our purposes and was nice to have a building that didn't share walls with anyone else, so we didn't have to worry about being too loud at odd hours.

One caveat- the location is just off of a main arterial.  The building is tucked back from the street quite a bit, but you can hear traffic on 1st street a little so if you're a sensitive sleeper, keep this in mind.  (It wasn't an issue for us.)

Easy, clean, and totally affordable.

166561,8732660,2013-11-14,1255511,Bart,"Her place was very nice and clean.  It was such a nice place to stay!  Near the action with a lot of great options within walking distance.  Sovay was very responsive.  There was a cold snap that swept through Austin, and she made aware of heater in the cottage.  Thanks for the heads up!  "
166561,8766171,2013-11-17,9070533,Rolf,"This was my first stay here this year meanint I will definately be back, and this one was just excellent and super. Sovay is so quick with communication and very professional and accommodating. This rental and its location are wonderful. I had a great stay. Thanks Sovay. "
166561,8818037,2013-11-19,6033196,Tricia,"We had a very nice two night stay at the bungalow. It was super clean,very nice decor and had everything we needed for our stay. The location was really good, too. We could walk  down S 1st, S Congress and into downtown Austin. A great find and would definitely stay on our next trip to Austin!"
166561,8876136,2013-11-23,948402,Sam,"What can I say that hasn't already been said?!  Good communication, quick response to issues (only a couple, easily resolved), very clean, relatively close-in but away from the madding crowds.  Thanks Sovay and Steven!"
166561,8902032,2013-11-25,4611593,Stefanie,This was the perfect place during our stay in Austin!  We wanted to be close to downtown but not in the direct hustle and bustle which was great as everything was a 10 min ride away or less.  The bungalow was extremely clean and had all the amenities we needed during our short weekend and we felt so comfortable.  Sovay provides everything you might have forgotten in the packing process so no need to worry when you arrive.  I would definitely recommend!
166561,9096946,2013-12-06,9450600,Natasha,"Great location, although at times it can be a bit noisy with the traffic.  Sovay offers many household essentials and toiletries, which was really nice.  Plenty of closet space for bags and a full size fridge.  "
166561,9141584,2013-12-09,10126918,Jean,"Sovay's place is adorable, very clean and spacious for two people. Love all of the amenities in the bathroom, hotels don't leave this many goodies.  However, we happened to be in Austin during an unprecedented cold snap and her space heater did not really warm up the place so we only stayed one night.  Sovay was very understanding and promised to get a bigger space heater for the future.  I would definitely return.  Jean"
166561,9378301,2013-12-24,289389,Cullen & Bekah,Great stay in a charming house in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin. We should have stayed here longer rather than hopping around! 
166561,9646792,2014-01-04,10010414,Tessa,"We had such a great time at this house. Small but clean and has everything you would need for a nice stay.  I really liked that there was private parking because I am moving X-country with everything I own in the car with me--wasn't a problem at all.  
Overall a great experience. "
166561,10117106,2014-02-01,4962447,Tom,"I loved the bungalow! The location is really great! The style and furnishings are super cool, and Sovay and Stephen are amazing!  Very easy communication: Sovay gave me tons of info and help with the area.  Any issues that came up, and she was very prompt to handle it!  Highly recommended!"
166561,10293443,2014-02-11,2006334,Josephine,"Sovay's apartment was in a great location and had all the required amenities including a hot shower, well stocked kitchen and comfortable bed. We tried many of the recommended restaurants and cafes and all were tasty. Despite being situated on a relatively busy road I felt safe and it wasn't too noisy. We also got by fine without a car as there were buses and we walked a lot. Sovay was extremely quick at responding to questions and was a very considerate host. 

We would definitely stay at the bungalow again, should we return to Austin.

Thanks Sovay!"
166561,10458091,2014-02-19,11976764,Christa,"What a great place! My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and had the most wonderful time. Walking distance to shops and food on South Congress, short walk to HEB for anything else, and delicious taco stand right next door. We will definitely be back! P.S.- she has the most amazing hair dryer available too (for my fellow long hair girls) :)"
166561,11170762,2014-03-24,73211,Jennice,"Oh my! I can't say enough positive things about Sovay's Cottage. Check in was a breeze, communication excellent and the cottage itself was so cute and absolutely spotless. It was like checking into a boutique hotel. Sovay provided so many extras to make my stay easier - coffee, cream, soap, shampoo, moisturizer, extra toothbrush and toothpaste and even sunscreen. I was so pleased with everything. She even provided an extensive list of things to do and see as well as make your travel easier. I loved it. I can't wait to go back and I hope to be able to stay here again. "
166561,12331465,2014-04-29,2316014,Kasey,Our stay was great! The bungalow is cute and clean. The kitchen is prefect for a quick breakfast. The bed is extremely comfortable. The location is convenient to everything great about Austin!
166561,12461498,2014-05-03,10526020,Sue,I loved staying at Sovay's sweet SOCO ItZ BitZ bungalow. Very comfortable for my business week in Austin. The location is great - close to some new restaurants for me like the Elizabeth St. Café and Curra's. (I highly recommend them too!) Also close to a neighborhood park where I took a morning walk before work. I definitely will return. 
166561,12544006,2014-05-05,11930077,Amy Elizondo,"Pleasant and private stay here at SOCO Bungalow. 

Ideal location. Cozy amenities. We would definitely consider booking again!"
166561,12888552,2014-05-13,2479979,Paige,Check in and check out were a breeze. The bungalow offers everything you could want for a convenient place to stay in South Congress. Overall a great experience. 
166561,13513659,2014-05-29,14951117,Andy,"We were very pleased with our experience.  The Bungalow is nice and private, clean, spacious, and comfortable.  Location is great, just down the street from La Barbecue!"
166561,13955245,2014-06-09,5363371,Jeromy,"The place was exactly what we needed.  Great location, clean, very comfortable.  We  definitely plan on returning.  "
166561,14133118,2014-06-12,15696060,Philip,"Sovay was a great host; she provided a large amount of information about the area including attractions, restaurants, etc. The bungalow has a good location, only about 10 minutes from the capitol building! Everything was clean, the amenities were great. Would stay there again."
166561,14285804,2014-06-16,12651016,Kelly,We stayed at the bungalow for a weekend in June. Sovay provided all necessary information upon my booking. It was incredibly helpful with lots of suggestions for places to visit and all the details needed for the weekend. The bungalow was absolutely adorable and I loved it! It was the perfect size for the two of us and I loved having the kitchen so I could prepare breakfast for us.The gas stove was a definite plus. The couch and bed were very comfortable and the shower didn't run out of hot water which is always nice. Everything went smoothly and things were exactly where they should have been. I would highly recommend staying here! 
166561,14550859,2014-06-22,11976764,Christa,"What a wonderful place!  We come here every time we stay in Austin.  We love the location, accommodations and the hostess.  She always leaves everything you need (or may forget) inside the place, along with fresh, great smelling linens and candles.  She even left us two bottles of local Austin brew in the fridge, welcoming us to the place :)  We really cannot say enough great about Salon Sovay!"
166561,14796719,2014-06-26,12900368,Siobhan,"My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. The bungalow is a perfect and private size for two and the location is excellent! Lots of independent restaurants and retail in just a short walk.

Only downside... I don't know if we didn't know how to operate the AC wall unit, but it ran constantly to maintain the temp; a bit noisy when sleeping.

We didn't directly meet Sovay or her assistant, but all interactions were professional and pleasant."
166561,14973248,2014-06-30,5892261,Tim,"What a great place to stay in Austin.  This is a fantastic location for easy and close access to many of the best spots in Austin.  I vised a few friends who lived in east Austin and they wanted to take me to some of the best food places in Austin.  Guess where we ended up?  Right down the road (walking distance) from the bungalow!  The accommodations were also great. Comfy bed, private entrance, clean, perfect.  "
166561,15151732,2014-07-03,7468927,Sarah,"My sister and I loved staying in the bungalow! Really great location, about a 20 minute walk to the heart of SOCO, where you can rent a bike from B-Cycle bike share and ride anywhere in the city. Walkable distance to a wide variety of restaurants and stores.

The bungalow itself was perfect for us. The kitchen area was definitely adorable, the bed was comfortable, and the A/C and fan setup kept us plenty cool in early July. The bathroom had everything we needed (towels, body wash, great shampoo and conditioner).

We didn't actually meet Sovay, but she sent us a huge email upon confirming our reservation with tons of recommendations! We even got to try a few places!

Thanks, Sovay! What a great stay."
166561,15265793,2014-07-06,4144714,Yoko,"It was such a great experience to stay at the Bungalow! Right off the bat, we were greeted with an A/C-chilled space with the fan left on for us, and it was the greatest relief after being outside under the hot Austin sun. There were dining settings already laid out for us in the breakfast nook, the bathroom was fully stocked with a first-aid kit and a slew of travel-sized toiletries, and there was even a “nature sounds” machine by the bed—the consideration that Sovay put in to make us feel welcome was apparent. Sovay was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. The Bungalow is located in the endearingly “weird” part of Austin that makes it so famous, and there are plenty of interesting and fun shops and eateries within walking distance or a very short bike ride or drive. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for having us, Sovay!"
166561,15583476,2014-07-12,16190385,Lori Ann,"I loved my stay at the SoCo Bungalow. It is so charming and cozy. There are so many thoughtful little touches. The bathroom is stocked with a few toiletries you may have forgotten. There is also a sound machine/white noise generator by the bed. I use one of these at home all the time and it was so nice not to have to use my phone app. I was also able to get some fresh eggs.

Staying here is definitely the quintessential Austin experience. Should my travels bring me back I would definitely stay here again."
166561,15709897,2014-07-14,1393257,Eva,"After making the short drive from Houston after work Friday it was lovely to arrive at the SOCO ItZ bitZ Bungalow just before dinner time.  We dropped off our things and immediately walked down to the South Congress shopping strip to Perla's for some sparkling rose and oysters.  After arriving to the bungalow Friday evening we did not have to use our car until Sunday when we were leaving!  Such a great location for walking, walking to the Bcycle station and grabbing a Lyft or cab.  The guide provided by the host is excellent!  I really loved the rose bushes outside our entrance -made it truly feel like a vacation!  It was nice coming back to this little bungalow/studio after a day of site-seeing and just relaxing in bed or on the couch reading a book before snoozing."
166561,15838692,2014-07-16,17236768,Kelly,"Savoy was an awesome host! Adorable place and sufficient space for me and my best friend. We were only there 2 nights, do didn't get a chance to do much, but had we had the time, the info provided regarding eats & drinks and assorted things to do would have been super helpful. I would stay again."
166561,15986230,2014-07-19,13040490,Kimberly,"Adorable place! Super clean, every amenity you can think of (don't worry if you forgot contact lens solution or sunscreen!), and perfect location in Austin. I loved the vibe of this studio, and the (extensive) recommendations that Sovay gave were great. I would recommend this place and would definitely stay here again :)"
166561,16505368,2014-07-28,2837408,Jeff,Sovay did more than I ever expected to make us feel welcome.  Her place is tucked away behind her hair salon and it really is an ideal location for visiting Austin....not in the midst of the busyness but so close by!   She provided a great list of recommended things to do and in the 2 days we were there we saw or did 80% of them and really felt like we got to know Austin!  Would definitely look to stay here again if we return and it's available.
166561,16717078,2014-08-01,16436758,Ashley,Sovay's bungalow is in the absolute perfect location! It is located in the middle of everything. It only took us a few minutes at most to get to most of our destinations. Although it is located near a busy street you would never know it in side the adorable bungalow because it is very quiet and relaxing. It was lovely having a full kitchen and everything that you might forget to pack is provided for you in the bathroom just in case. 
166561,16930566,2014-08-04,18116828,Jenny,"We had a great time at the bungalow! It was cozy, cool, in a great location, and had everything we needed. Thank you Sovay!"
166561,17541961,2014-08-13,6661168,Cara,The place was very clean and private. Made for a peaceful stay. The neighborhood was perfect. So many great restautants within walking distance. 
166561,17859120,2014-08-18,12261563,Kimberly,"I had a lovely time staying at the Bungalow! The home was bright, clean, and cozy, and was a great size for 2 people. The location was convenient, and we never had to drive more than 15 minutes to get where we wanted to go. Like a few others have stated, you can definitely hear cars driving by when inside. The wall A/C unit was loud enough that it covered up the street noise, but was so loud that I needed to sleep with earplugs (I'm a light sleeper anyways). The bed was comfortable, but a little high (I literally had to hop on/off the bed!). The shower was also wonderful, providing HOT water and great water pressure. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a cute place with plenty of convenience.   "
166561,18207774,2014-08-23,9487898,Brad,"The bungalow was very clean, quiet, and pleasant.  It is also conveniently located to South Austin.  We would recommend it.
"
166561,18486995,2014-08-27,12862593,Nori Kenneth,"The ItZ bitZ Bungalow is a great Airbnb. It's walking distance to South Austin, where there's a bunch of artistic murals/sculptures, mom & pop restaurants, and coffee shops.  I didn't rent a car for my 3 day trip, but Ubers are super accessible from the bungalow to Downtown Austin ($15 max for a cabride to 6th Street).  I actually recommend walking around downtown or catching a B-Cycle on South Congress to explore. But South Congress in itself is an experience (Check out Hopdaddy for great burgers, Uncommon Objects for some unique items, and just the sign for the iconic Austin Motel). I saw Sovay briefly when I was waiting for an Uber and she's a sweet gal. Would definitely stay again."
166561,18805762,2014-09-01,18272639,Kelsey,"We loved our stay at the itZ bitZ bungalow and would recommended it to anyone -- we would stay here again in a heartbeat.  Great location within walking distance to a ton of different/yummy food carts and a cheap cab ride to the boisterous 6th street.  Wonderful weekend, thank you Sovay!  We also loved the casual, intimate check-in/check-out process.  Made us feel like we were coming to our own home right off the bat.  Hostess also left a huge file of helpful hints and things to do -- she really goes above and beyond to ensure you have the very best stay."
166561,19140168,2014-09-07,5175214,Elizabeth,"Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and this is the experience that had my husband saying, ""no more AirBNB."" It's unfortunate but after several good experiences, all around the same price point and in Austin, this was the lemon of AirBNB stays. First, the location. We thought staying downtown would be fun and convenient until the cab pulled up to a small salon on an otherwise unoccupied (even the liquor store was closed) street late Thursday night. Even the cabbie was like, ""here?... are you sure?"" Ouch. So the block was kind of dead? There's good stuff a few blocks up South 1st (lots of coffee shops, restaurants and food trucks, Gourdoughs...)! And the folks at the salon were kind enough to leave the porch lights on... so we ventured forward with open minds. Once we got into the bungalow, we were pleased it looked just like the photos, and that the AC was on and it was pleasantly cool. What the photos couldn't capture was an odd smell. I didn't smell it myself right off, but my husband did and asked what it was. It was only when I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, whose door was closed, thus concentrating the smell, that it hit me. It smelled like hair dye, so I wonder if the salon was storing their dye in the bungalow (I looked at the curtained-off storage area but didn't see anything)? Regardless, it was certainly offputting. Also offputting: it wasn't a constant problem but we did see a few bugs crawling around, especially at night and near/on the bed (and we were careful to shut the door quickly when coming in and out). So that wasn't great. Also, this is minor and I'm not a connoisseur of sheets but I'm pretty sure the comforter is supposed to be larger than the bed so there's room to hang on either side. This one was about the size of the top of the bed, which meant when two people got under it, there was much left uncovered.
In conclusion: if you want a bug-free, smell-free, bungalow that's in a fun downtown neighborhood with luxurious bedding, this isn't the place for you. Even at this price point: Savoy, do better."
166561,19936707,2014-09-21,8679366,Amy,"Sovay's bungalow was exactly as described in the listing. It was clean, cute, and had all the amenities you need or might forget when traveling. The bed was super comfortable and the kitchen quaint. Thanks for the fresh eggs. The location was great for getting around downtown and SOCO area. She even provides bags to go grocery shopping at the local HEB store (if you don't bring your own you pay). Thanks for a great stay! :)

166561,20503956,2014-09-30,20003320,Andrew,I really enjoyed staying in Sovay's bungalow.  It was very comfortable and clean.  I'd definitely stay there again the next time I visit  Austin.
166561,20957800,2014-10-08,20933327,Elizabeth,"Overall, this was a great place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and conveniently located. I live on the East Coast, so in terms of walking, things were a little farther away than described. That said, you can walk. I had a rental car and it was a cinch to get downtown and to South Congress. If I had had more time, I would have certainly considered renting a bike. While I didn't use the kitchen much, it was really nice to have a refrigerator. I bought some stuff for breakfast, which worked out well since I was there for work. "
166561,21339563,2014-10-15,20239742,Cody,"Sovay's bungalow was perfect for us (my wife and I did a day at ACL and attended a conference downtown at the convention center).  The house is exactly as described in the listing, and Sovay provides her guests with a wonderful list of suggested activities and sites to see, both in the SOCO/SOFI neighborhood and around the city.   Getting from the bungalow to downtown on the 10 bus is a cinch and is super fast.  This was our first time to Austin and we loved the city.  We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend this cozy spot."
166561,21437781,2014-10-17,5562675,Arjuna,"We had a lovely stay. The place was sweet and simple, exactly as described. We would definitely stay here again! "
166561,21587688,2014-10-20,10682583,Bo,"This was our first time going to Austin and trying airbnb and both were awesome! At first when we got to the bungalow, the area didn't look like much and I was bit disappointed. It's on a busy street and getting out of the parking seemed bit challenging but luckily I didn't drive and my boyfriend had no problem. I was concerned about the noise from the cars but at night the it was pretty quiet and we slept peacefully. But by next day, I realized that the location was pretty close to everything and there were tons of great restaurants/food trucks on the 1st street. There is a liquor store next door and little store at the gas station near by so that was convenient. The bungalow was clean, bright, spacious, and comfortable and the kitchen actually was bigger than I expected from the picture. I appreciate the little toiletries Sovay provided and as I read from other reviewers, shampoo is amazing. Walking during the day was too hot but by 5 or 6pm, it was nice to walk and we walked to Polvo's and even to Austin Beer Garden Brewing Company. After paying $27 on Lyft on prime time one night (75% added), we took number 10 bus for $1 to downtown which only took about 12 minutes. Coming back on Lyft from downtown on normal rate was about $8-9 bucks so getting around at night after drinking was easy. During the day we drove so it was easy to get around the town. This location is quite close to South Congress street and Lamar, all with great restaurants/bars/shops and going straight up takes you to downtown area. If you have a sweet tooth, try ""Lick"" ice cream and ""Gordough's"" fat donuts, both really close and delicious! We had so much fun in Austin and can't wait go go back. At the bungalow we had good A/C, tv, wifi, parking, kitchen and clean comfortable room to stay in. So much better deal than staying at a hotel!"
166561,22241172,2014-11-02,21651992,Joe,"""Bungalow"" is the perfect word for this charming, cozy, and conveniently-located abode.  It's location on South 1st meant that all of the city was easily accessible, especially the trendy SoCo area, but the house itself was nestled in the back of a lot, very quiet at night.  Everything was clean and in good shape, and both the bed and couch comfortable enough to fall asleep immediately on!  My girlfriend and I had a great time there, but I think it would be especially ideal for a solo traveler in need of a welcoming place to crash at night.  

Sovay provided lots of helpful information about the area.  Parking was no problem, nor was getting an Uber.  There were a few things in walking distance, but plan on driving, because it's not really a walking neighborhood.  Would stay there again!"
166561,22391908,2014-11-04,1815215,Sara,"After a very last minute reservation, the host got the place ready for us.  Adorable place, great location and exactly as described.  Great experience!"
166561,22652764,2014-11-11,14327556,Brad,"Very enjoyable experience. The bungalow was both very clean and very comfortable. It's actually a little larger and nicer than it looks in the pictures. It's also very easy to walk to go get Coffee, Tacos, etc... from this location, and a simple cab ride or bus ride into town. Would absolutely stay here again."
166561,23112761,2014-11-23,4764932,Kari,"My stay at SOCO was wonderful!  This bungalow was clean, welcoming and soooo cute!!!  The location was perfect and the bungalow was very private.

I would totally recommend a stay, from booking my stay to saying goodbye my experience was great!  I am excited to return with my husband next time to visit our newly transplanted Daughter!"
166561,23234065,2014-11-25,6713362,Eboni,"My request was such short notice and Sovay accommodated me with no problem at all. The space itself is lovely, and perfect for those that prefer something small and cozy. I also slept so good in the bed!!!! Yes, it is located on a busy street which wasn't a problem noise wise and didn't have an effect on my sleep at all. The location is very convenient especially if you have a car. I opted to rely on my feet and lyft but doing things all over I would prefer a car. This coming from  a brooklynite that walks miles upon miles daily, rarely relying on others for transportation. There aren't a lot of people walking around until you hit the epicenter of soco, it was a wee bit awkward walking alone on the busy streets until I got there. To take advantage of SOCO get a car folks! Perfect bungalow to do so with!"
166561,23574623,2014-12-05,557111,Traylor,"Very comfortable and clean.  I enjoyed the location and how Sovay was quick at communicating pre booking.  I come to Austin often, and will certainly hope to book here as much as possible! "
166561,23909457,2014-12-14,8713215,Liz,"My fiance and I were in town for work for the week and this was a very nice place to stay. Sovay couldn't have made it easier or more seamless to check, and the place was nice and tidy when we arrived.

One thing I would note is that the name of the place is a little misleading. While it's a lovely studio and fit all of our needs, it's not exactly SoCo (South Congress). It's more like South 1st. Not a huge thing, but since I previously lived in Austin, I did expect the SoCo place to be closer to Congress.

Never the less, we had a GREAT stay, and Sovay was an excellent and gracious host.
"
166561,24001691,2014-12-16,12078171,Josh,Sovay was very helpful ahead of time in that she had prepared lots of information not only about her place but the surrounding area. The bungalow was lovely and very clean. It was also in a great area close to everything you might need. We had a great stay.
166561,24508895,2014-12-29,712866,Eric,"Sovay went out of her way to make our stay and our visit to Austin memorable. She sent us a very in depth guide to Austin which came in super handy. All of her recommendations were spot-on! We referred to it before and after arriving and it made our perspective on Austin amazing.

When we arrived, the place was clean and welcoming. It's such a lovely little house! We loved the breakfast nook and the bed was comfortable. We were surprised that it was slightly bigger than it looked in the pictures. The parking space was nice, too.

The location couldn't be better. We visited lots of places on S 1st Street, just blocks from the house. There was so much to do that was just a short ride away. It's close to the highway, as well, so nothing at all is far."
166561,24950556,2015-01-04,14521697,Alex,"Stayed here over New Years Eve weekend - first time visit to Austin. Sovay was an incredibly gracious and welcoming host. The bungalow is exactly as advertised - great location, very comfortable and clean. Overall great experience - would definitely stay here again and/or recommend it to friends."
166561,25286138,2015-01-11,7463329,Natasha,"Sovay has a very lovely little space that was perfect for my boyfriend and me. The location was  1.5 miles from a lot of cute restaurants and shops.. And less than 3 miles from downtown. It is quiet, clean, and allows for plenty of natural light. Would stay here again!"
166561,25501530,2015-01-18,24676353,Lisa,"We loved the  location, the unit was adorable, clean and exactly what the pictures look like! The bed was pretty comfortable. Kitchen had half and half and coffee which was so nice to have since it was a little chilly outside and we didn't want to walk to get coffee, it let us be lazy !:) on our vacation. We would definitely recommend !!

"
166561,25682479,2015-01-23,24317435,Susan,This cottage is adorable. Very clean and well put together. The kitchen is well appointed with everything I needed for my four day stay. I felt safe in the area and with the groundskeeper Santiago easily accessible. The bed was super comfy.  There were filters for the coffee machine and even a cold beer in the refrigerator! Very nice! 
166561,25962037,2015-01-31,4517151,Mary,"We loved our stay at The SOCO ItZ bitzy Bungalow! The place is perfect size for a couple. It is in a great neighborhood, lots of yummy restaurants and cute shops. Sovay sent us a very helpful email before we arrive filled with suggestions for sight sighting and getting around. One of our best AirBnB experiences yet."
166561,26058349,2015-02-02,25665518,Kristyn,"The Bungalow was exactly as Sovay described it. We arrived in Austin when it was pouring rain and the Bungalow was so warm and inviting. It was clean, cute and exactly what we wanted for our quick weekend trip to Austin. The location was perfect - nearby are a lot of great restaurants and food trucks and it's also close to the fun shops on South Congress and to downtown. Thank you, Sovay, for a wonderful stay!"
166561,26172602,2015-02-05,27108533,William,"All of the other positive reviews were accurate. The studio was incredibly clean, the location was great and there were nice goodies. Between nice towels, a comfortable bed, coffee in the fridge and some beer - Sovay is an incredible host. I filled out the form to rent the same day and she was very accommodating to get it done easily and quickly and it was so clean when I came. There were a bunch of bathroom essentials in case you left something and for folks from outside of Texas there were some books on Texas and things to do."
166561,26306894,2015-02-09,14834110,Astrid,"Soway's place is so much what traveling is for me in my husband: ""exploring"". Allowing us to get off the beaten path (touristy) and experience the locals. The perfect place for us!
Soway accepted my request right away and sent me a lot info about Austin. On the day we arrived, she left fresh coffee for us. Her place was nice and clean. I would recommend you to visit her place!
Thank you for everything!"
166561,26915937,2015-02-22,19333772,Buddy,"Great & friendly communication before and during our stay. When we arrived, there was a beer in the fridge - but we never got around to sharing it.  

The place was as described and roomy & clean with plenty of amenities. The bed was comfy and had four pillows.  Needs were anticipated: fans, heaters, blow dryer, iron, umbrella, coffee pot & coffee, etc.

Sovay's suggestions were appreciated - we enjoyed dinner at Polvo's on our first evening. There were plenty of brochures on the coffee table to review for ideas, as well.

There were nearby places to go for breakfast tacos and coffee.  Also, food trucks were just down the street and HEB was close.

Our request for extra towels was answered in a timely manner.  Also, Sovay generously agreed to letting us leave our car past checkout time (but since it rained, we decided to drive to brunch instead of walking.)  

The location was great for us and within easy walking distance of places we wanted to go. This was our 2nd air bnb experience and we were pleased.  We hope to stay at the Itzy Bitsy Bungalow again.

*This final part has nothing to do with the host or the place - just the experience.  When we stayed, contractors were putting in new fiber optics/cable on 1st Street.  They worked late at night and were pretty noisy, even after midnight.  One night when we got in for the evening, there were big trucks and machinery parked all along the street - even blocking the driveway entrance.  I spoke to the workers and they were cordial and quickly moved the 18 wheeler. (Nice).  On the following evenings, the driveway entrance was left accessible even though they were still working the area.  (Thanks !)  "
166561,27129165,2015-02-26,10526020,Sue,"Sovay made me feel very welcome. We had several reasons to be in touch ahead of time.  She was responsive, and helpful, and during a very cold week made sure the house was heated in time for my arrival.  The house was spotless, and so comfortable. Everything was lovely.  Thanks Sovay!"
166561,27211863,2015-02-28,17309937,Matthew,Beautiful place to stay did not take long for me to rebook again 
166561,27481175,2015-03-05,17309937,Matthew,Great place to stay 
166561,27655279,2015-03-09,18227536,Kaylese,"This place was adorable. It was just the right amount of room for 2 people. The bed & couch were very comfy, and the kitchen was my favorite. I loved that it included basic cooking needs (salt, pepper, sugar, flour, olive oil, butter, etc.) and that there was tea & coffee. I used the tea kettle & toaster every day.

It also was in a great location. Some of my favorite food trucks were right up the street, as well as the famous Austin mural. Even though it could be difficult getting in & out of the parking spot when busy, I'm very glad the parking spot was provided."
166561,28122011,2015-03-18,200487,Ligaya,"Adorable bungalow, super easy check in and quick communication. Located near the SoCo strip with many shops and eateries nearby. If you're looking to go downtown regularly a bike is recommended. Thanks for a great stay!"
166561,28396993,2015-03-23,14446306,Derek,Sovay was an excellent host with timely and helpful communication. Her place is in the South Congress neighborhood across the street from a park and walking distance to great restaurants and coffee. The space was quiet and clean with lots of little extras to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. 
166561,28786294,2015-03-30,26634048,Jay,"Check in and check out was really simple. The place is located behind her salon, but she gives you full autonomy. She stopped by to say hi and let us know to call her if we needed anything, but left us to our own devices otherwise.

It's in a great location. We could easily walk to great places to eat. It's easy to get to downtown, parks, and the residential areas to the south. 

The space is as described. There's a small kitchen with everything you could want and basic cooking needs, a large TV, comfy couch and bed, plenty of closet space, wifi, and a bathroom. It's pretty perfect for 1-2 people for a few days. 

If I had to pick one thing that I didn't like, it was that the floors were a bit dingy. Our socks were black from walking around on the wood floor and that tracked onto the white floors in the kitchen, and especially the bathroom where it got wet from time to time. A quick cleaning would fix that though."
166561,28964497,2015-04-01,2361577,Christina,"We just returned from our road trip to Austin and our stay at SOCO ItZ bitZ. We loved it! The place was cute, comfortable, and perfectly located for everything we wanted to do. Sovay's recommendations were super helpful as well and the the bungalow provided everything we needed. Thanks for everything :)"
166561,29111241,2015-04-04,28476350,Francesca,We had a wonderful time and so appreciate how Sovay thought of everything and made the bungalow so cozy. I am a creative director and her sense of style is appreciated! I come to Austin several times a year and will definitely try to book the bungalow well in advance so we can enjoy it again. 
166561,30306783,2015-04-20,11690062,Olivia,"I loved staying at the Itz Bitz Bungalow. It was a perfect location for me, since most of what I wanted to do was in the Soco area! I had everything I needed at the Bungalow, the bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries, and the beer and coffee in the kitchen was much appreciated :) Even though it's on a main commercial street, I found it to be super quiet. Bed was comfy, everything was clean, and it was a cozy place to relax after a long day of sightseeing. I'd recommend a car if you have it, but there are tons of bars and restaurants within a 10-20 minute walk. I used bCycle to get around (Austin's bikeshare program) and would walk to the nearest station about 10 minutes away. Great way to see the city!"
166561,30678057,2015-04-26,28592893,Jacquie,This was the perfect home away from home to stay at while in Austin. Just the right size for 2 people and I loved the location. Thank you for the helpful document upon arrival with tips on what to see and do. We would stay here again when in Austin.
166561,31315018,2015-05-04,19650536,Chris,"We had a great time in Austin, in large part to great location for this place! Easy communication with Sovay and fully loaded bungalow make for an easy vacation!"
166561,31613161,2015-05-07,2224042,Scott,"Great little spot, loved how organized Sovay was and the little things she left to make it all easier.  Definitely recommend, and for the price, it's hard to beat"
166561,32353331,2015-05-17,8244420,Eileen,"We had a great stay at the house. Very convenient and very private.  Thank you Sovay, we would love to stay again sometime. Thanks
Eileen"
166561,33799717,2015-06-01,12060431,Marlene,"Off the main drag but close enough to downtown by bus or car. Lots of awesome food trucks within walking distance. Grateful for the fans and AC! And also for the coffee and half and half waiting in the fridge. Easy check-in process. Didn't use the kitchen except to make coffee and store leftovers but nice to know it was there. Loved the extra toiletries in the bathroom and plenty of hot water. Unit stands alone behind her salon so no noisy neighbors at night and no worrying about being the noisy ones. 

Sovay was an awesome host, easily accessible and quick to answer messages regarding any concerns, no matter how small. And with tons of recommendations for things to do and places to eat. Thanks again! Already recommended your place to a friend who may be traveling to Austin soon.

Fyi, parking is a little tight if you enter/leave during the day when the lot is full."
166561,34207630,2015-06-06,18517601,John,"We definitely enjoyed our stay at Sovay's bungalow. The space itself is clean and has everything you'd need - much better than staying in a hotel, really. Plus, the area around there has a lot to explore - from the funky shops and restaurants on South 1st to the cute area just a little farther on South Congress. In addition to setting everything up so that the stay was hassle-free, Sovay gave us a lot of tips for exploring and they were extremely helpful in guiding some of our trips out and about. We can't recommend her place enough."
166561,34731430,2015-06-11,34297008,Valerie,"Loved my stay at the bungalow!  Location is perfect, close to many dining options and public transportation, and the unit itself super cute and cozy.  Having lived in Austin, felt like home with all of the amenities and little details (creamer/coffee, dishes, travel guides, soap, etc) provided.  "
166561,34986842,2015-06-14,33681828,Josh,The bungalow was everything she described.   The home was clean and accommodating.   Location was close to everything we wanted to do.  Perfect for a weekend getaway.  Would recommend to anyone looking for a private little space centrally located in the city for one or two persons 
166561,35818554,2015-06-22,2228009,Cheryl,"I did not meet you at all.  The email with everything to do in the city was really comprehensive and helpful.  Nice to have coffee which I replaced.  The Bungalow is in the best area of Austin.  SoCo is really fun to see.  Austin is a great place.  You need a car to get around from the Bungalow. 
The bed is very comfortable.  The Bungalow is a great size for two people.  We enjoyed our stay here"
166561,36061964,2015-06-24,34378046,Morgan,"Sovay was an excellent host, with the bungalow clean and ready for our arrival. The space itself was perfect for our visit, with a wide open bedroom, functional kitchen (which was important to us), and a great outline of the areas attractions and available services. 

I would definitely stay here again on a future visit. "
166561,36416767,2015-06-28,34353773,Tracy,This cute little bungalow was exactly as described by Sovay. It was comfortable and very secluded = relaxing! We will most likely re-book with Savoy in the future and definitely recommend her property to friends and family.
166561,38146335,2015-07-13,13751869,Sharon,"Although Sovay was out of town, she provided all the needed information and accessible by text - and very responsive.

The little bungalow it just as it is pictured. It was quiet, comfortable, clean and well located. The bed was very comfy, and having the little kitchen was nice for keeping cold drinks and snacks. One could easily cook in the kitchen - but with all the good food nearby we didn't do much other than make coffee.

It was very hot when we were there, but there is a powerful A/C unit and 2 fans, so the place was always comfortable.

There were many little amenities like bathroom supplies (even an extra toothbrush) and staples in the kitchen (including coffee and creamer).

The location on 1st street was convenient to the freeway, South Congress, Lamar and Downtown. 1st street is kind of busy, so it doesn't make for the nicest walk to the local eateries - but it might have been a nicer walk if it wasn't 101 degrees!

I would stay there again. "
166561,39559929,2015-07-24,81451,Yuliya,Cozy and clean space. Lots of thoughtful amenities. The host was super communicative and it was very easy to sign in and sign out.
166561,43785501,2015-08-22,16550895,Kenny,"Sovay's place was great! The place is centrally located along a busy road but the noise level inside was not an issue during our stay. Inside the place was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Everything was in working order and we had no issues. We had no issues getting clean towels or the trash taken away when we requested it. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. "
166561,44397772,2015-08-25,812618,James,"This was a last minute trip, but Sovay had the place ready to go. She's a wonderful host. She has done her best to make the bungalow feel like a home away from home. She gives you total privacy, but if you need anything she isn't hard to get a hold of. This is absolutely the best location. It's a short drive from down town and it's close to South Congress."
166561,45541306,2015-09-03,42857486,Karen,"I was in Austin on business for a couple of days -- and just needed a clean, quiet place to roost and work. Located behind a hair salon in South Austin, I could zip into downtown easily, in minutes. This SOCO Bungalow was comfortable and welcoming. Communications was easy. Worked great for my needs, so I will be back."
166561,45965268,2015-09-07,34995824,Zachary,Sovay's bungalow and amenities offered are fantastic. She was very helpful throughout the process and informative.
166561,46613959,2015-09-12,35111649,Kristine,This bungalow is adorable! Very clean and the bed is oh so comfortable! It was very relaxing to stay in for two people. The bathroom has helpful amenities if you forget to pack some sunscreen or a toothbrush. The kitchenette is perfect for making coffee or storing leftovers. Sovay also leaves a helpful list of city recommendations. The location is also perfect if you want to explore South Congress.  
166561,47217394,2015-09-16,22826909,Lauren,"We had a great visit! Bungalow looked just like the photos, instructions were clear and location was great! The owner provided so much helpful information on Austin, it was a great resource! She even left samples of her salon's soaps (which were amazing). We would definitely love to stay again for our next visit. "
166561,48628944,2015-09-27,2396060,Nikki,"Our stay was wonderful. We didn't even meet Sovay save for a wave when she walked past our car on our first night (at least we think it was her haha) but she was great and provided us with lots of great info, her place was so nice and clean with good air-con, located in a fantastic spot a stones throw from SoCo and close to freeways for driving anywhere (quick drive to the football stadium too), very private too just like having your own apartment while you stay which is perfect. No complaints at all, just loved it and would recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Austin and would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks so much Sovay, this was one of the reasons we loved Austin so much!"
166561,49641963,2015-10-05,26275750,Jaime,Great place to stay in Austin. Just as it was described! Would definitely stay there again! 
166561,50763927,2015-10-14,2072637,Lilly,"I had a wonderful stay at the SOCO ItZ bitZ Bungalow! Sovay was very quick to respond to my reservation request and provided me with helpful information in anticipation of my stay. Her directions were very clear and specific, which made getting to and from the bungalow super easy. Thank you Sovay for letting us stay in your amazingly cute & chic little studio. I would definitely recommend Sovay's Airbnb to my friends and hope that I will get an opportunity to visit again in the future!"
166561,51045882,2015-10-17,39646919,Amanda,"Quaint and clean. This was a great location to stay while attending a conference scheduled at the Hyatt Regency. Close enough to Barton Square Mall, 6th Street and the Congress shopping area that uber was always available and affordable. Thank you Sovay for a wonderful first experience with Air BNB!!"
4156939,22481327,2014-11-07,1002523,Bryan,"Brennon (aka Mr. Parker) made us feel very welcome, and even waited for us in the rain to make sure we could get in the front gate. The Parker is a great place to stay. Recently remodeled, the place is clean, hip, and staffed with friendly folks. The happy hour in the clubhouse is a nice plus. Would definitely stay here again, especially when the weather is nicer so that we can take advantage of the many outdoor sitting spots and the pool."
4156939,22681850,2014-11-11,45821,Lance,"This is a great place - well appointed, very recently renovated, and stylish.   Brennon met us when we arrived and was in contact throughout our stay, providing us with extra keys and even offering us breakfast when we had a slight problem with the internet the first night.  I definitely recommend his property. "
4156939,22784723,2014-11-14,4632650,Adam,We only got to stay for one night and wish it was longer. The place is decorated to a brilliant standard and has a really homely feel. The pool and social areas will be great when the sun returns. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to explore Austin
4156939,23027452,2014-11-20,12870064,Haley,"My absolutely loved The Parker! If I lived in Austin, I would consider living at The Parker. "
4156939,23351006,2014-11-29,3655558,Laura And David,"Caroline and Courtney were amazing! Beautiful apartment. Didn't have a coffee maker but just ask and they can probably get you one. ;) 
Thank y'all for everything. "
4156939,24423088,2014-12-28,23812918,Juliet,"We had a wonderful time at The Parker. I rented it for my parents over the holidays and it was comfortable and easy. It was wonderful having a glass of wine out by the pool at the end of the night. We had a little confusion/miscommunication getting in since my parents arrived on a Sunday and the office was closed but they remedied that very quickly and even brought us complimentary kolaches and oj the next day. Recommend highly.

Juliet"
4156939,24682737,2015-01-01,14367117,Rafael,"Lovely place, nicely furnished. I would recommend to anyone"
4156939,24870742,2015-01-03,19643219,Elizabeth,"We had a great time. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and felt like home! The complex was gorgeous and would be awesome during warmer months. Definitely coming back and encouraging friends to check it out! "
4156939,25218641,2015-01-09,2409676,Gabriel,"I had a great stay at the Parker and would recommend it and stay here again.  Its mainly an apartment complex that was recently renovated in a 60s Hollywod vintage chic style. I enjoyed it, though it would be nicer in the summertime when you can take advantage of the pool and nice grounds.  The only couple things I had trouble with was 1) The Apple TV in the room was not a fast enough connection to actually watch a movie on and 2) The last morning I was there the water did not get very hot.  It was warm enough to be bearable though.  Other than that everything was great!"
4156939,25259122,2015-01-10,11199001,Mary Ellen,"This was my first trip to Austin, I was traveling alone and looking for a safe place to stay close to downtown. I was going to be arriving much earlier than check in but Caroline allowed me to check in early. The place is charming... Courtney was extremely responsive to my questions. This place looks just like the pictures and is a very easy drive to downtown. Truly delightful with it's hollywood glam look. The pool and outdoors area are so inviting... if only it wasn't so cold!  It would be a great place for a girlfriends get-a-way. "
4156939,25624218,2015-01-20,331017,Babak,"This super cute, clean and very stylish one bedroom was the perfect location for getaway weekend in Austin. Caroline is super responsive and checks regularly if everything is ok. Would definitely recommend. "
4156939,25915392,2015-01-29,16927028,Heath,"The Parker was an excellent property. Caroline and the Parker staff were helpful with my late arrival and checked to make sure my stay was going well. The suite and complex was beautifully designed and very clean. The location is slightly outside of the city but it was very easy to access public transportation, lyft and uber. This is definitely a place I would recommend and consider using again. "
4156939,26201635,2015-02-06,20514132,Ben,"Great, clean and comfortable place. Friendly staff and great location for Austin, will stay here again"
4156939,26366751,2015-02-10,24736948,Dan,Everyone was very cooperative. When we asked for some stools for the counter area they arrived within minutes.
4156939,26603642,2015-02-16,3446267,Cara,"We had a great stay at the Parker. The apartment was clean, neat and the staff at the apartment complex were super helpful."
4156939,26750008,2015-02-18,10238058,Scott,"Had a very pleasant stay at the Parker on my recent short trip to Austin. The apartment was cozy and well appointed, and was the perfect location for me. Communication with Caroline and Courtney was superb. I'd definitely stay here again. "
4156939,26841907,2015-02-20,2409676,Gabriel,"The Parker is a great place to stay, I have reviewed it before in more detail but the fact that I keep coming back speaks for itself.  "
4156939,27011992,2015-02-23,24998733,Jerry,"The unit was very well kept, and as advertised.  I had no issues whatsoever and would stay again."
4156939,28117931,2015-03-18,22995246,Aquia,"The grounds of the complex are really nicely decorated. My excitement about this place was fueled by the ""cuteness"" factor -- since it isn't very close to downtown. Unfortunately, the actual unit I received was missing that completely. A resident told me that she watched them ""throw it together"" that evening which made sense as I was told that I couldn't check-in until much later than originally anticipated and they needed to come in the next day to install a TV (that I never turned on). I just kind of felt like they weren't prepared for my stay. Nonetheless, the hostesses and staff were really nice and fairly responsive. I did have to communicate with them way more than I would have liked about simple things like getting into the complex (they didn't give me a gate remote until my last day) so I wouldn't have to stand out front alone at odd hours of the night. I was in town for SXSW so it was good to have a place to lay my head down, but in all honesty, it served no other purpose. There was no outlet in the bathroom nor one close to the bed -- which if you're like me and use your phone as an alarm clock, could propose an issue (it did). I could go on and on, but I feel like all of the mishaps were specific to my stay and if done again, they have the potential to have made it a better experience. Highlights: the bed was comfortable and the grounds are really cute. "
4156939,29969260,2015-04-15,4962445,New,"The suite is great, very clean and modern with a well-equipped kitchen. Just missing a few little details like hooks to hold your towels in the bathroom, and our dishwasher did not work. There is Netflix but no cable. The bed was comfy and shower heated up well with good pressure (all important things!) The grounds and pool is really cute and nicely decorated. We hung out at the pool for a little bit but it was too cold for swimming, and since it's located centrally with apartments all around, you feel a little exposed. Parking is easy and plenty. The location is decent, it's about 20 minutes from the hip South Congress area. It's very dog friendly, many of the residents/guests had dogs here. We brought our little Maltese dog and did not have to pay a fee for her, which is a plus. We kept in contact with Caroline and Courtney through text messages, and they did answer our concerns at a very reasonable rate. 

Our two complaints are A) There seems to be lack of communication between the front desk staff. On two separate occasions we had 2 different staff come knocking at our door saying ""Oh I thought you had already checked out."" We had booked for 6 nights, and had 2 more nights left. That's something that shouldn't happen twice. The other occasion Courtney came by the room to ""reset the master modem"" and it was a bit disruptive. 

The other issue is this is a small gated apartment complex which includes residents who live here, and then some of the rooms are rented to AirBnB guests. There is constant noise in the early morning, either from staff moving about and cleaning or doing construction. At night you can hear other guests in the courtyard very clearly. On two nights that we were there, other AirBnB guests apparently decided to throw a party in the courtyard directly in front of our room...about 30 people drinking and being generally obnoxious until almost 4AM. Only when the residents came out to shout at them that they dispersed. We contacted the managers but they couldn't respond until the next day. Apparently there was an emergency staff that we should have contacted. Either way, the rule ""don't bring the party home with you"" in their instructions seems pretty loosely enforced.

In general, if you are looking for complete privacy, peace and quiet, I would hesitate to recommend this place. However, if you don't mind noise, it's great and pretty convenient."
4156939,31749854,2015-05-09,31013316,Nathan,"Great unit 10 minutes from everywhere. Decorated gorgeously. More like a hotel suite then an AirBnB as there is no one living in the unit. All the details are taken care of including Keurig Coffee, Apple TV, Robe, iron, ice in the freezer. Couldn't be happier."
4156939,33555994,2015-05-29,34268790,Mary,"My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at Caroline's vacation rental. She and her on site staff were very helpful along the way and the exchange of keys was very simple. Not only were the grounds beautiful but also the apartment! It was perfectly furnished with a minimalist flare. We were a short 7-10 minute drive away from down town, depending on traffic. The only struggle was finding the location of our apartment rental once I the complex. The layout is a little bit confusing, but the residents of the complex were so kind and lead us right to out rental! "
4156939,34025081,2015-06-03,34002711,Veronica,"I stayed here through a weekend at the end of May. The location of the facility was great. It was in walking distance of food and some really neat local stores. It was only a $5 ride to the city as well. The grounds are well kept, very modern and artsy. The unit was overlooking the pool and to have been here on a weekend, it was still very quiet. 
The unit is just as beautiful as the pictures display. The couch and bed is very comfortable and the linens are soft. I really appreciate the toiletries, they use organic and natural products. For a one bedroom, it is very spacious and is was a lot of closet and dresser space.
Everyone was very friendly. I chatted with a few permanent residence all of which were very pleasant. The people who worked here were welcoming, always saying hi just in passing. I had to call the front desk and they were very easy to get along with. I stopped by to ask questions as well and they were able to answer all of my questions. 
I used the pool, it was warm, beautiful, and again well kept. Some of them have cabanas, it was very relaxing. I didn’t use the gym, however it was conveniently located, and seemed to be in a safe place.

4156939,40013117,2015-07-27,5034247,Jeff,Great room with nice furnishings and easy check in/out. Perfect place to stay for a short or long stay in Austin!
4156939,43938774,2015-08-23,30068811,Mark,"We were called two days in advance of our stay alerting us that the air conditioner was out in the unit and that the host would look for another place for us.  We actually did not stay in Jeni's this unit so we cannot rate it her place directly, just our experience.  A completely different unit that was found for us, with a completely different owner.  The condo that was found and secured was not what we had expected. The location was not great.  There was a lot of rehab construction in the other units, very strong paint odor causing throat irritation to my wife and I.  The owners personal items were everywhere, clothes, alcohol, dirty freezer, extremely uncomfortable bed, and not clean.  This was not Jeni's fault but we did have our original reservation with her.  Very disappointing but we understand things happen in life and she tried.  If this similar situation happened again we would do our own reservations at another place, not let someone else do it.  With such short notice we did not want to be without a place during our business trip.  Live and learn.  "
4156939,45630842,2015-09-04,21706683,Tyrisha,"Sofia is a gracious host and the apartment is fantastic. The community it's set in is amazing and very peaceful. Everything is well appointed and it's a very welcoming decor. Overall, it's a wonderful place to stay and a great host!"

4156939,52116748,2015-10-26,45329195,Toi,"We stayed at The Parker for a birthday weekend and could not have been more pleased! We all came from different parts of Texas, with long drives, and when we walked in we instantly felt like we were at home. The beds, pillows, and even couch were all so comfy. In fact, we meant to find out what brand of bedding that was to put in our homes! It was more spacious than can be seen in pics. All 4 of us girls are over-packers and there would have been no way we would have been comfortable in a hotel downtown. We uber'd when we went out at nights, and the convenient distance to downtown made for a reasonable fare. The outside courtyard areas are as beautiful as the pics portray; however, due to the storms from Hurricane Patricia, we were never able to utilize the pool and courtyard the way we would have normally. Despite the rainy weekend, The Parker made our trip that much better. It had everything you would need, be it staying in or for people on the go. Checking in and out was a breeze. Highly doubt we stay anywhere else when we are back in Austin! Thanks so much! "

He had nice roomates, and one even cooked some great tacos. While Aaron's room may have been clean, the kitchen and bath were a bit messy. Living room was clean. They cleaned up the kitchen eventually. The location is great, but 3 roommates can be a bit much. I would stay there again, it was a good experience.

926804,3797472,2013-03-16,2504274,Elyse,We stayed in Matthew's house for the week of SXSW and it was great. The house is huge and fit 5 people perfectly. They even left us some beer in the fridge :) It was the perfect place for us! We hope to come back next year.

926804,28000097,2015-03-16,8313532,Kate,"The house was large, clean and had everything we needed in it.  Perfect for a group of staff travelling to Austin for SXSW.  

Matthew was very understanding from the moment we booked to the extra few notes on extending our stay and pretty much everything in between.  We all hope to be back next year.  Thanks again  "

3053308,21168824,2014-10-12,22006837,Andrea,"Really enjoyed staying at Michaela's this past weekend! She was quick to respond with the reservation arrangements. My friend and I were greeted with a warm friendly smile. We were pleasantly surprised with the extra space (2 more rooms and an extra half bath-ha) and overall charm of this little ""cottage."" She had bus info laid out for us and other information regarding our ACL plans.    She made an extra special accommodation without us even requesting her to do it, pretty awesome. Other pluses: very clean, easy to find, in a fun area, quiet, available to accommodate but
kept to herself, and flexible on checkin/checkout as needed. Will definitely stay with her again sometime when I come back to ATX! "
3053308,21562948,2014-10-19,22491331,Jenna,"Michaela and her family were such nice hosts.  We didn't get a chance to interact very much, but the family was warm and welcoming.  They were very understanding of my later than expected check in time, and Michaela greeted me with a smile.  There was a ton of space, a few bathroom necessities, and even a cute dog.  All and all, a very nice, private place to stay."

3053308,22371910,2014-11-04,22350795,Stevie,"The girls were great hosts. They were full of fun suggestions of things to do around the city. I had the downstairs (room, mini kitchen, bathroom) to myself, such a nice little home away from home. Would definitely recommend this place. The ONLY downside is that it is a little out of the way from downtown, but I personally liked that. Thanks ladies!"

They had information on the city waiting for us and gave us wonderful advice on things to do in their city. The studio is spacious, cute  and clean. The bed is VERY comfortable!

My friend and I had a little too much fun the night before and they let us sleep past checkout, which was appreciated tremendously. I will absolutely stay here the next time I am in Austin! Thank you girls. "

Il ne s'agit pas vraiment d'une chambre partagée, mais de pièces aménagées dans le garage de la maison. A noter : il n'y a qu'un frigo et un micro-ondes, il est donc impossible de cuisiner. La propreté était correcte mais sans plus. C'est dommage parce qu'on voit tout de même que les peintures ont été refaites. Par ailleurs Mickaela et sa soeur sont disponibles et gentilles. Elles nous ont conseillé des endroits à visiter et on mis à disposition deux petits chauffages bien utiles pendant la vague de froid.  "

It's sort of nestled between business buildings and an apartment complex and not labeled from the streets, and the address numbering does not make it evident. Our hosts were lovely and friendly, and we did have the bottom floor to ourselves. It was chilly downstairs, but there were space heaters that made us warm in no time. "

I highly recommend booking a stay in Austin with Michaela! "

They were so sweet and added the two suggestions we mentioned in the last review that could make this place even more accommodating. I highly suggest staying here... I know I will be back again for sure. :)

Comfy bed, plenty of blankets and even had a separate room with a desk where I was able to get some work done.  Even though it's on a busy street, the room is extremely quite.  Was walking distance to several bus lines to took me anywhere I wanted to go.  Highly recommend."

3053308,24291221,2014-12-24,25066966,Kevin,Michaela responded very quickly with any questions that I had and her place was clean and tidy. I would recommend this space for a friend.

Everything is as described. We have three people, so Michaela arranged a futon bed in the study room which worked great for us. We did't meet her in person as she is at her parents', but we had perfect communication via emails. It's a great value place!"
3053308,24416142,2014-12-28,22253834,John,Great Central Austin location up on 35th Street in Brykerwoods. The room was cozy and even had a portable heater. Comfortable bed and overall a really enjoyable experience. 
3053308,24563995,2014-12-30,16177950,Laura,"We arrived and found the room to be as pictured and have everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space for the two of us. It was cold, but the heater in the bedroom did a good job of keeping the room toasty warm and the water was nice and hot. I liked the location. It was very convenient to the highway but nice walking distance to places to eat and a grocery store. We enjoyed the wifi service also. We didn't meet our host until just before we were leaving, but she was fiendly and helpful. It's a simple and affordable and I would stay here again. "

Micky was super friendly and showed my friend and I around the property when we first arrived. We only spent one night in Austin so we didn't have much interaction with Micky but she was very friendly and super responsive. I had a million questions for her through email and she answered them all right away. The house was a bit out of the way/tucked away but getting to downtown was a quick 5-10 minute uber/lyft ride. Overall it was a nice place to stay and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a comfy spot that is simple and clean."
3053308,25270520,2015-01-11,24006967,Chris,Our flight got in late and we were greeted which was awesome.  Included an extra futon mattress for my son.  The rental is multiple rooms with space heaters since it was unusually cold.  We needed the laundry and that was a huge convenience. I also needed a running path and this is very close to the Shoal Creek Trail which runs downtown to the Colorado River; beautiful!  Thanks for being such great and accomodating hosts to us!!!  Chris
3053308,25410664,2015-01-15,24591450,Ornela,"Great host, Micki made up a very useful info sheet about the surrounding neighborhood as well as Austin in general that came in really handy. The listing allowed for very easy access to the rest of Austin by bus ride (there were like 3 or 4 stops right by the listing that made traveling anywhere easy). Micki gave us a quick tour of the listing on the day of our arrival and then let us settle in by ourselves. I really appreciated that she gave us our privacy, but had her phone # on the info sheet and said we could ask if we had any questions. We had a great time! Loved my experience with Micki, the neighborhood, and the rest of Austin!"

3053308,25509683,2015-01-18,11828810,Aimee,"This is the place for anyone looking for a great location at a great price. It's only a few minutes drive to the university and all the shops/bars/hookah lounges around it, and also pretty close to 6th street and South Congress. The rooms were very simple and cute. We definitely weren't missing anything after walking around the city all day. I would definitely stay here again. Bonus, Michaela and her roommate have a very cute dog."
3053308,25788497,2015-01-26,1671992,Michael,"Great place to rest your head at night, very comfortable bed. Only met the host in the beginning, very welcoming and helpful. Central to all the great Austin locations like downtown and 6th street. Would recommend!"
3053308,25946219,2015-01-30,7511623,Jonathan,"Michaela's space was clean and very spacious, more than we expected.  We arrived late greeted by her sister.  She gave us the tour and provided a map of the area.  Answered all of our questions and let us settle in.  Very friendly, and informative.

The space included a bedroom, 1/2 bathroom, & side room with a desk area, it was nice to do some work other than on a bed.  The whole downstairs was pretty much private to us.  The bedroom has a futon bed, chair, and end table.  A space heater is provided and a AC unit installed in the window.  The bathroom has minimal space but was all that was needed.  Across the hallway had a small kitchenette area and a full bathroom with shower.   Like the other bathroom, tight on space, but all you need.

Parking was right out front so made it easy to go in and out.

The house was quiet at night, and during the day we had plenty of privacy.  It was a first 2-night stay with Airbnb, and after driving through 2 states, it was nice to lounge around in the afternoon in a relaxed space.

We didn't interact with the family much but had nothing but a positive experience at their Austin space.   I would recommend this listing to anyone traveling through the Austin area."

3053308,26598886,2015-02-16,7610221,Theo,"This was a great place. Conveniently located near the highway, in a quiet neighborhood. (We had a rental car, so we can't speak to public transit accessibility.) Parking was available in the driveway. The house is just down the road from the Kerbey Lane Café, a legendary Austin breakfast/brunch spot. All of the facilities were good and matched the description. The hosts were flexible. They managed to give us everything we needed while staying out of our hair."
3053308,26979714,2015-02-23,20994556,Petra,"Michaela is a very nice host, she waited for me on my arrival. The house (room) is uptown in Austin but just across the bus station which is very helpful. Michaela checked out the bus schedule for me, so it was very easy to get downtown and other places. The rooms are nice, clean and spacey."
3053308,27129386,2015-02-26,25480504,Rainee,"I didn't actually meet Michaela but her very charming sister greeted me and gave me all the information that I needed. The room was clean, spacious, sunny and very cosy. There was plenty of linen and a collection of marvellous books to read. There was also a charming sitting room and facilities to cook. It was very private and felt safe. Just check your directions as my son and I discovered that West 35 th street is in about 5 chunks. Highly recommended.  "
3053308,27297412,2015-03-01,28132916,Timothy,"Michaela was very accommodating. It was basically like having an apartment to myself. I had plenty of privacy. Everything was clean. Michaela was helpful in providing information about the area. The studio is located in a great area, only about a mile from the University of Texas and about 3 miles to the downtown area. 

Austin is an absolutely amazing city. It has an incredible vibe and culture with so much to do and see. I can't say enough about it. Highly recommend visiting and staying at Michaela's studio!"
3053308,27500964,2015-03-06,27102603,Mike,Great place. Was easy to find and Michaele was helpful and friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer!
3053308,27607750,2015-03-08,28188729,Ashley,This was my first time using air bnb. Michaela was very flexible with mine and my friends schedules and even gave me a map with popular places to go marked. Location is great and bed is super comfy. I would definitely stay here again!
3053308,27762600,2015-03-11,26868849,Rachel,The room was cute and cozy. The location was great. A short work to Downtown and access to cafes and a supermarket across the road. A small kitchenette was available which made it easy to store and heat food. 
3053308,28117449,2015-03-18,984166,Rachel,"While in Austin for SXSW Interactive my days were long and exhausting. In addition to the brain swell of conference activities, I was also working remotely elongating my days often into the 14 hour realm. Michaela's Retro Studio was a comforting respite from my light speed, jam packed days. And to that end, the bed is terrific. Great at the end of an over-extended day; awful in the morning when it's time to get up. The room had an office area, bedroom and half-bathroom. This was ideal for my working trip. The shower was in a shared space but I never ran into another dirty traveling soul. Lastly, when I made my travel plans I failed to book my last night. Completely my mistake, Mickey and her sister Alex were not only accommodating offering me another room they were excellent company as the room swap provided us an opportunity to get to know one another. It's one thing to be completely satisfied with your stay. It's entirely another when you make new friends. "
3053308,28200481,2015-03-20,24460723,Glenn,"Micki was great. Effortless check in and check out, very helpful orientation with the room set up. The place is very quiet, which made it easy to sleep. Micki was also helpful at recommending an amazing local taco place. We ate there twice in two days."
3053308,28363979,2015-03-22,29508265,Lindsay,"Michaela was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although we didn't see her much (we were out and about exploring Austin!), she gave us lots of great recommendations and followed up via message. She was quick to respond to questions and made our stay a really lovely one! The space was perfect (comfortable, clean, attractive) and close to public transportation. "
3053308,28570535,2015-03-26,28591815,Krish,"First airbnb experience and a wonderful one.
Space is as described and very  cozy.
Michaela was very helpful and was always prompt in responding  to any questions 
I had about the area. Worked out perfect for my commute and schedule!!
"
3053308,28640586,2015-03-27,8232822,Cady,Lovely place. Lovely host.
3053308,29095812,2015-04-04,7512826,Elise,"Overall very accurately advertised. The host welcomed us with a map of Austin and keys. She also gave us some good recommendations around the area. She was great at responding to any questions or needs but we definitely felt we had our own space. Bed was super comfy and the ""kitchen"" was sufficient for storing food and making breakfasts and lunches. The house was quiet at all hours.  It was very easy to park and a close car ride downtown. Good to note the partial bath/ bedroom are across the common space hall from the kitchen area and full bath and so other guests may be in and out. I definitely recommend this space to others! "
3053308,29551520,2015-04-09,13261933,Jason,Michaela was very welcoming and made sure that I had everything I needed for the facilities and my visit.
3053308,29726855,2015-04-12,20608645,Katie,"Great place to stay. Very conveniently located. The accommodations are great: the house is charming, the host was helpful and had everything we needed. Enjoyed the stay. "
3053308,30006117,2015-04-15,3739318,Aaron,Very nice two-room suite (bathroom off the living room across the hall). The room was as advertised. Convenient location for meetings up north and nightlife in town. Michaela was a perfect host.
3053308,30101626,2015-04-17,14867050,Sunil,"Good location, close to UT Austin area - just a 7 minute drive away from some great bars and concert venues. Plenty of parking and conveniently close to the highway.

Host was very welcoming and accommodating of my changing arrival time. Room was lockable and offers a good amount of privacy. There is a small amount of street noise and it's an older house, so expect some creaking. If you're a light sleeper (or used to sleeping in a quiet room) you might want to wear earplugs (as I did)."
3053308,30189887,2015-04-19,1417044,Allison,"A little bit difficult to find, but a great space. It's really close to awesome restaurants. Be aware that you'll have your own toilet and sink in the room, but know that the shower for use is in a downstairs common area and may be used by others. Michaela had told us that they would be having guests over to the house the first night of our stay, which would have been fine, except it was basically a raging party and we had to get up early the next day to get ready for a wedding. Wish I'd known I'd find hungover, semi-dressed people in the downstairs common area the next morning, and also that I could have gotten better sleep on Friday. Michaela was very responsive and easy to deal with, though! "
3053308,30766365,2015-04-27,12304000,Noah,"Great location, great spot to stay. "
3053308,30998855,2015-04-30,3948915,Leticia,"Michaela was wonderful and able to accommodate my early check-in with the utmost ease. 

The room and little office were also just as listed, so adorable and clean, I felt so at home there - and have to mention that the bed was incredibly comfortable. It feels like a safe location and is fairly close to great sights around Austin. I would most DEFINITELY stay here again. 

Thanks Michaela!"
3053308,31252823,2015-05-03,23760930,Akporode,"Michaela was pretty responsive. She got in touch with me as soon as I book my room. She offered a helping hand even before I got there. When I finally got to the place, she was very very welcoming; she made me feel comfortable and to top it off, the room was clean. It didn't feel stuffy. It just smelt fresh. The room had all the basics : a comfortable bed, a small study area... etc. I highly recommend this place. You can't go wrong."
3053308,31637376,2015-05-08,19189879,Amy,We had a great stay in Austin. Michaela was very sweet to us and gave us as much advise and help as we needed. The room was clean and comfy and the kitchen area was really useful to make breakfasts. (It is very basic so you might need to pick some plastic coffee cups up like we did). The area is safe and quite but is a good distance from downtown. However there are lots of nice places to eat near by and 'The Drag' in the Uni area of Austin is only a easy 30 min walk away. Lots of good stuff happening around there in the evenings. Check out the 'Spider lounge'  we had fun hanging out there. All in all a really good experience and for the price a really good deal. 
3053308,31873771,2015-05-11,24272147,Lucy,"I had a great experience with Michaela and her sister while staying at their home in Austin! They were very helpful checking in before I arrived and orienting me to the city. The room was clean and cozy, and it was nice to have my own space while I was visiting. Their place is a perfect location for all Austin sites and was close by to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods. I had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend staying with Michaela! "
3053308,32123761,2015-05-14,20265271,Caitlin,"We had a great stay here! Michaela was very accommodating when we originally planned to arrive and drop off our stuff before check in time and again when our flight was delayed. After out arrival we didn't see her much, but we were barely home- the house was quiet and we had everything we needed. The neighborhood has some cute things within walking distance, but we mostly ubered to get to the more popular areas (only about a ten minute drive). Would definitely recommend this Airbnb!"
3053308,32302192,2015-05-16,12365303,Chris,It was so amazing. In a great location and a great price
3053308,32589438,2015-05-19,29134859,Dune,"Michaela made me feel welcome and was accommodating to my schedule.  Her home looked like the pictures on the site.
She also offered me toothpaste when I found out I forgot mine and she also lent me an umbrella.  It was a short walk to a grocery store that was open late.
It was immensely humid in Austin when I visited and needed to turn the room AC for most my time there. "
3053308,32972731,2015-05-24,14400398,Rachel,"Michaela and Alex were great! They gave me ideas on where to go, and we're super friendly. The room was nice and spacious. I was on foot and bus and the bus system to town was easy to navigate. I'll be back!"
3053308,33371056,2015-05-27,14945661,Gretta,Michaela is very accommodating. Had a great stay and the location and price couldn't be better.
3053308,33748144,2015-05-31,17320500,Evan,"Very comfortable place to stay and convenient to everything....particularly to the UT Campus as well as scenic Mt. Bonnell.  Micky and family were gracious hosts!  Once I return to Austin, I will stay again at same location."
3053308,33873658,2015-06-01,34307302,Alicia,Miki was an excellent host.  Quick responses to any questions I had prior to my visit and happily welcomed me and showed me around once I arrived.  
3053308,34549347,2015-06-09,30017030,Hanna,"Michaela's father was doing some work at the location so he was the one who greeted in a very nice way.

The description was some kind of accurate. I thought I'd have a full bathroom inside the room. It did have only a lavatory and a toilet. For me it was very uncomfortable going out somewhere else to take a shower. 

Another issue was that the father asked me to park very close to his car because they have parking space restrictions... (??)

The neighborhood was nice, and location was excellent for what I traveled to Austin."
3053308,34941017,2015-06-14,29266971,Dale,Liked the location. Comfortable bed.
3053308,36327529,2015-06-27,25872958,Luke,"Micki and Alex were very accommodating, and their house and room was perfect for us to use as a base to explore Austin. It was nice to come back to our own space with much needed air conditioning! Everything is as described, private space is large and quiet, and we would recommend this airbnb to anyone!"
3053308,36734435,2015-06-30,5648437,Mark,"Micki got back to me right away, which was great as I was booking a lot of my accommodations on the fly. Great communication and her place was easy to get to, right off the North Loop! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, both for sleeping and for the brief time I was ""home"" doing some research on my laptop in the ""office""-kinda area. I drove everywhere so it was very close to all the things I was checking out in Austin, but there was a bus route close by and some things were  close enough to walk to. Totally enjoyable stay!"
3053308,38314426,2015-07-14,3411086,James,"This is a fantastic location, a very spacious and clean room and bath, and exceptionally friendly and courteous hosts. It's about a 10 min bike ride to campus, with plenty of bus options as well. 15 minute bike ride to 6th street area. 5 min walk to a large grocery. It is a 3 minute run to Shoal Creek trail, and you can run all the way to Town Lake an back if you wish. Safe, quiet part of town. Michaela and Martin were very helpful, and I would enthusiastically recommend a stay with them. "
3053308,40631841,2015-08-01,30373008,Sasa,"Michaela was very punctual in her responses and very helpful in providing relevant information and all other aspects. In other words, she is a great host. The place is located very conveniently, it is quiet, clean and tidy. 
So, I am very satisfied with my stay and am very happy to highly recommend Michaela and her place to anyone visiting Austin."
3053308,40826146,2015-08-02,24680440,Jim,"Michaela was very responsive and helpful to me, for instance in setting up the internet. The room was nice and it was in a quiet location. It worked well for me. I just stayed one night."
3053308,41291974,2015-08-05,7039376,Claude,"Nice space consisting of a bedroom, a small ante-room in which was situated a desk, and a toilet: the shower was a shared unit across the hallway within the ""common"" area downstairs. After some minor but not seriously inconveniencing issues regarding finding the place and making contact, the fact that the different guest rooms are on the ground floor whilst the ""Twins"" live on the first floor, makes for a tidy separation.
The room was clean, light, comfortable, well cooled (AC) and generally a hospitable, private environment enclosed within a house of its own pleasing and quiet character.
The hosts were hospitable and respectful of my privacy.  I had use of a fridge and a communal coffee-making machine was available – along wit the usual cutlery and plate options etc.
The WiFi offered also a good, strong signal.
Having one's own transport helps – and not getting caught in the homewards bound evening traffic on the Mopac Expressway – the fastest route to arrive at the house – is heartily advised :)
All-in-all and agreeable stay and definitely a place that I would have no issue recommending in terms of value.
With thanks...
"
3053308,43396795,2015-08-19,38731525,Siyi,Very quiet and clean place. Michaela was leaving so Alex helped a lot instead. A little bit far from downtown and ut for those who don't have a car though.
3053308,46782172,2015-09-13,20526968,Amanda,"Michaela was a great host and very helpful during our check-in process. She made sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, making sure to answer all our questions, and the space was clean and spacious. "
3053308,47205426,2015-09-16,43357377,Darrel,"My experience at Michaela's place was great. The accommodations were better than advertised. The location worked out perfectly for me. It is truly in Central Austin. It was clean and tidy, and Michaela was a wonderful host. She was timely in her responses and was there to meet me on my arrival from CO. I hope to stay again in the near future. Thanks Michaela."
3053308,47662890,2015-09-21,34137418,Nick,"Thanks a ton, Mikki! The house and room were quaint, quiet and spacious, and Mikki gave me the space I needed to do my own thing, which was exactly what I was looking for on this vacation. "
3053308,48242176,2015-09-24,43491523,Don,"Great location. Quiet. Convenient to MoPAC, downtown. restaurants, shopping. "
3053308,48563619,2015-09-27,40104763,Ann,Mikki was very accommodating. Her place was cozy and very convenient to everything fun in Austin. A short walk away is a beautiful trail next to a stream. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin.
3053308,49754036,2015-10-05,21459083,Michael,Very pleasant stay. Loved that there were two rooms so I could do work in the room next to the bedroom!
3053308,51023794,2015-10-17,16456071,Rachel,"These rooms were quite spacious, located in a pleasant area close to the Kerby Lane café, and a forty minute walk to UT along safe streets. The set up worked well for me, and the hosts were very helpful."
3053308,51652674,2015-10-22,43491523,Don,Michaela is so outgoing and welcoming. Great host with a great location
4403398,22959936,2014-11-18,392232,Stuart,"I have travelled a lot through AirBNB and all over the world and I have to say that this experience has been one of the best for all the right reasons.  HOST.  Communication was great and considerate right upto our arrival by both Willis and Miles.  Upon arriving we were greeted and shown how all the amenities within the 'trailers'.  We were given a bottle of the crafts batch Rum the family makes along with some coke to mix in the fridge and all the 'hotel' amenities you could hope for.  This goes beyond a welcome... great! Always available to answer any questions but left to our own privacy within this boutique setup.
LOCATION.  Perfect for downtown. S. Congress. Rainey street.. just easy for everything and tucked away nicely.  landscaped garden, fire pit, BBQ and outdoor cinema.. it's just perfect.
COMFORT.  My first time in an airstream.. was a little hesitant at first but the bed, linen and towels were all super comfortable and clean. These trailers are brand new or in perfect restored condition.
AGAIN? Yes, without hesitation.  Stay here before it gets discovered!"
4403398,24506969,2014-12-29,17376594,Amy,Will was a perfect host! Everything was as described  and he went above and beyond to be sure my sister and I had everything we needed. The location was perfect and we are already planning a trip back to stay at the Americana!
4403398,24872837,2015-01-03,20172816,Bill,"Willis was very easy to communicate with and made this quite simple. He was waiting for us when we pulled into the driveway. The Airstream is a great way to spend some time in Austin, everything worked great. Nestled in a grove of trees and bamboo a couple hundred feet from the road, can't be seen from the street and you wouldn't have any idea it's back there. There's hardly a better location on South Congress. My wife and I frequently spend our anniversery and New Years in Austin and this will be top of the list for the next time we return. Literally, everything on SoCo is walking distance. And super convient to so much more. Highly recommend. "
4403398,26119738,2015-02-03,8355606,Cici,"Had a great time stay at the RV . It at the prefect location . Close to everything . Will definitely come back again next time . 
"
4403398,26368388,2015-02-10,7044166,Joe,"Willis was a welcoming host and went above and beyond. His secluded enclave of Airstream trailers hidden off of busy South Congress is both peaceful and fun. I stayed in Airstream #3 which was clean and comfortable, with a great bed, deck and a tree chair/swing. I knew I was not going to stay inside lounging around at all over my weekend, so I wasn't expecting tons of space, a luxurious bathroom, etc. -- rather, I was there for a unique experience in Austin and it was definitely that. I would 100% stay again."
4403398,26493510,2015-02-14,26440760,Amy,"An authentic Austin experience.  Willis is a very hospitable earnest and fun host. The location is tucked away in a nice area that is central to a lot of things. The listing and the pictures are accurate. My husband and I and our 2 boys age 7 and 10 stayed in the Airstream for 2 nights.  We arrived late the first night.  We found the place easily even though it is marvelously tucked away (Willis texted us very detailed directions).   Willis even met us in the driveway to show us the best place to park.  We slept well -both the beds and the bedding very comfortable and the interior space and amenities are top-notch.  The outdoor space is wonderful.  Hammocks (the kids loved!), bbq grill and even a fire-pit that Willis will manage if you request it. This would be a unique place for a group to rent since there are multiple Airstreams available and all share the intimate and secluded outdoor space.  We had a car but didn't use it.  Lots of things to do -River walk, kayaking, Texas State Capitol tour, bike rentals, outdoor music.  We had many food options that we could walk to:  food trucks (we liked and explored Torchy's on 1st and Mrs. P's on SoCo), great Mexican food (Guerro's on SoCo and Polvo's on 1st), mid-scale restaurants (Snack Bar and Perla's) , pizza joints (Willis knows the name), coffee shops nearby (Joe's coffee and some others on 1st), local ice cream (Amy's).   One breakfast/lunch place I would recommend to people is Bouldin Creek Café which has indoor and outdoor seating, lots of local fresh Vegetarian/Vegan offerings (even meat eaters can enjoy it here!), and homemade dressings that are great on the salads and the sandwiches!    To sum up our stay,  the accommodations, the host and the locale are wonderful.  Our stay was great and we would stay here again for any return trip.   "
4403398,26684368,2015-02-17,4382075,David,"I think our favorite AirBnB experiences tend to be the ones with the most personality.  Just based on location alone this place would be a gem- just a short walk in either direction from all of the cool stuff on south congress or downtown/ 6th street, but also the place is just really sweet. Airstream trailers set back in what basically amounts to your own private park with hammocks and a grill and a giant movie/ TV screen. We loved it. 

Also Will and Miles were super friendly, always willing to help out with suggestions of what to do and local favorites. Additionally, on our first night - the airline lost our luggage and when everything close by was closed  Will drove us to a CVS so we could get toothbrushes and supplies.  The next day when our bag still wasn't there and it was 80 degrees Will loaned me a pair of shorts!

So if you are looking for funky and friendly with a dash of great location- check this place out. "
4403398,26874749,2015-02-21,16111413,Kris,"This was fantastic. You'd be crazy to stay anywhere else in Austin. Perfect location and Will was so generous and accommodating. Warm, welcoming and friendly. The airstreams are impeccable, the outdoor area is comfortable and its a perfect place for friends and or family to gather for reunions. Thanks for a great memory and fantastic stay.
"
4403398,37454620,2015-07-07,7084924,Kathy,"Being that Austin's motto is ""keep Austin Wierd"", how could we stay in a boring hotel?! Miles' airsteam oasis was amazing! It was a little slice of heaven hidden in the middle of the south congress action. Easy walk to all the funky shops and top notch foodie spots. All this and an incredible host. What more could you ask for. "
4403398,38212237,2015-07-13,28044056,Kaitlyn,Miles was an AMAZING host! He lives on-site and was always available for anything we needed. He really goes above and beyond to make sure all guests are taken care of. His airstream park is a magical place…a true Austin experience! I am moving to Austin next month and plan to recommend the park to all my friends and family when they visit…mostly because I can’t wait to come back;) Thanks again!  
4403398,38451104,2015-07-15,37847374,Justin,"Our family vacationed in Austin this past weekend. We were so happy when we stumbled upon this place. We know Austin's motto is ""Keep Austin Weird""  so in our search for hotels we didn't want to go the traditional route. 
Miles' airstreams are the way to go! The property is beautiful, it's situated behind a building so you feel secluded but are still so close to everything Austin has to offer. The landscaping aound the airstreams makes you feel like you are in a tropical oasis. The outdoor tv room was awesome. Big screen, apple tv, netflix, music, what else could we ask for? Oh yeah! A beer tap. If you are lucky, like we were, a big group from previous rentals will have left a half empty keg for your bonus! We also made use of the grill! 

The inside of the trailer we had rented was  masculine immaculate! The bunk bed room was our sons favorite part because he got to sleep on the top! And our favorite was the master bed. It was very comfy. 

We had a very positive experience for the first time using Airbnb and will use it in the future. If we are ever back in Austin we will definitely stay here again.

4403398,40135793,2015-07-28,37634151,Gwen,"I could not have asked for anything more! We wanted to have a true SoCo experience, and Miles' Airstream was the icing on the cake! He responded, almost immediately, to any questions I sent via text about directions, arrival, WiFi passwords, etc. He greeted us when we arrived and showed us around our ""room"". He was frequently out walking the property, and was always sure to ask if we needed anything and how our trip was going. The place is amazing with the common areas for watching movies or just gathering. We had planned on using the buses to get around South Congress, but we didn't need to. Everything is within walking distance. I would love to bring a big group of family here and rent the whole place! I will certainly be recommending this little gem to my friends and family! Thanks, Miles, for a wonderful stay!"
4403398,46228230,2015-09-08,43034943,Alexia,"We arrived in Austin not knowing what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised with Mile's beautiful Camper/RV park in the middle of SoCo.  Although the park is very much within walking distance of several restaurants, coffee shops and bars, the location feels very private. There were new bikes on site, along with beer on tap, and an outdoor entertainment center hooked up to Netflix on Apple TV.

Our Safari Camper was very comfortable, and we were happy to find clean towels, coffee, and toiletries inside."
4403398,46629167,2015-09-12,42118708,Andy,"A great location with a very hospitable host! Such a gem to find in a great part of town, a very relaxed, comfortable stay. Miles should be really proud of the accommodation."
4403398,48479447,2015-09-26,44857960,Kelley,We had a fabulous trip to Austin thanks to Miles! He was a wonderful host and his SOCO/Downtown Oasis was the BEST place to stay!
4403398,51483319,2015-10-20,20963375,Jose,"My wife, her mother, and I... and a fourth member of our trip all had a blast staying with Miles! He was out of town the night we stayed but his girlfriend lizz was so great about making sure we had everything we needed.  The location is perfect and the space feels like a little oasis. I hope to visit again soon and will definitely stay in any of the air streams."
4403398,51586637,2015-10-21,30217707,Forrest,"Really cool and special place located in a great area in Austin. We took the bikes and rode the river (website hidden) tap is spot on, sets a new standard in accommodations."
4403398,51660860,2015-10-22,45894062,Trevor,"My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and we cannot recommend this place highly enough!!  Miles and Liz are very gracious hosts with a beautifully appointed property in a prime location on S. Congress.  The Airstream was well maintained, very clean, and made for a nice relaxing get away. Love this place, and will definitely return!"
4403398,51754222,2015-10-24,43487456,Sarah,"unfortunately we weren't able to stay in this cool airstream, but miles did a WONDERFUL job at making sure we still had great accommodations. very nice working with him. thanks, miles! "
349447,1013889,2012-03-18,19082,Alana,"We stayed in Jason's cottage for 10 nights during sxsw and we really enjoyed it. Great location as it's close to buses downtown or it's also a nice stroll.

The cottage is very spacious and clean with everything you need including a hairdryer, wi-fi, extra towels. There was even fruit and cold beers in the fridge to welcome us on arrival.  

Thanks Jason for a wonderful stay. See you next year!"
349447,2338615,2012-09-18,3485727,Anthony,"Jason and his place were awesome. Friendly, clean, amazingly located. Perfect trip. "
349447,2396574,2012-09-24,3321105,Kristina,This is a great space! Jason is very friendly and helpful. The space is perfect for entertaining and the backyard and patio are especially nice.
349447,2695754,2012-10-23,2670571,Kim And David,"We stayed at the Eastside Cabana for a month after relocating from Atlanta and our only regret is that we have to leave.  Awesome location, cozy space and Jason is a great host.

Glad we kicked off our move to Austin here - highly recommend! "
349447,2791353,2012-11-03,2670492,Sam,"Jason was a very helpful and available host, eager to provide us with tips on what to do in Austin and anything else we needed. The photographs are very true to the space, which is quite comfortable. The huge backyard is notable. Jason's listing is in a very accesible location and was just what my 3 friends/coworkers and I needed for a week in Austin."
349447,2814854,2012-11-05,3763785,Ruth,"This place is fantastic. Well designed and well furnished. I would not hesitate to stay here again next time I come to Austin. Jason was also very nice and informative about the Austin (website hidden) isn't my thing, but if you are a beer fan Jason will stock it so that it greets you when you open the refrigerator door. Nice television and extremely cozy bed. Fantastic bathroom and again designed very well. In biking distance from downtown as well. Truly great place to stay."
349447,2886789,2012-11-15,3832316,Jim,"Very cool place,  5 minute drive to either 6th street or UT.  Would be perfect for someone coming in for a show at the Erwin Center."
349447,2925373,2012-11-20,2243043,Brandon,"Eastside Cabana is an excellent place to stay. Jason was very helpful and friendly, he even had some cold beer waiting in the fridge for us. We had 6 people, which was do-able, but was tight at times. Would be perfect for 4. Location was great, $5 taxi to downtown/campus. There are some very good restaurants within a mile. Highly recommended!"
349447,2954294,2012-11-24,4035146,Matt,"The cabana is great!  We were headed to Austin for a football game and this was a great location!  It was a 15 minute walk from front door to seats.  The amenities provided are great.  Comfortable bed, nice sized bathroom, great TV with tons of channels.  The whole place is up to date and modern.  Jason was great to work with and everything was exactly as he promised.  I definitely recommend this property!!  5 Stars!!"
349447,3020265,2012-12-03,2018878,Laura,"Jason's place is convenient, comfortable and (especially if there's two of you) HUGE!! The interior is modern and stylish with every mod con you could need (laundry- yay!) and a beautiful huge back yard to enjoy your morning coffee. Easy parking, 15 minutes from the airport, close to the wonderful east side...the location is a dream. Jason gave us yummy recommendations for lunch and dinner too. A fresh, easy stay. Thanks!!"
349447,3108095,2012-12-17,60470,Tom,Jason's place was really cool. The place really made the visit. 
349447,3198248,2012-12-31,4259540,Mark,"Jason's Cabana is a great place for an anniversary getaway.  The location is awesome for the price, and the size and amenities were just perfect.

Jason himself provided excellent support to us.  The neighborhood had an unfortunate power outage.  The cabana's breaker probably got overloaded when power was restored, but Jason had somebody out within an hour to take care of it.  It's one of those things, but it was handled graciously.

The only feedback I would suggest is better privacy coverings for the windows, and maybe a throw rug here and there, especially in the bathroom.  That concrete floor is cold.

Overall, great stay.  We could have stayed longer, and might come back for next year."
349447,3391957,2013-01-22,3585707,Jennifer,I stayed at the Eastside Cabana for a month! I have to say I was excited to come home from work every night! The place was great! Location is excellent! Amenites are nice.  The bed was really comfortable even though it may not look like it. Jason is very helpful with any information you might need. Unfortunately I ran out of time to really enjoy Austin like I wanted to but when I get time I will definitely return to the Eastside Cabana!
349447,3555682,2013-02-16,3502785,Ryan,Very cool spot. Very central. Lots around neighborhood to explore. Nice house! Jason was great!
349447,3583506,2013-02-19,2781472,Agnes,"The place was great! Lights, decor, comfort. (more private window coverings would be even better).
Jason was a great host. 

"
349447,3623843,2013-02-26,4296877,Joe,"Jason was a great host. He made our first airbnb stay very enjoyable. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us at check-in :)

The cabana is beautiful. Very clean and spacious. Very true to the pictures. It has everything you could possibly need. We would definitely stay again. "
349447,3831105,2013-03-19,1136888,Nicky,"Jason's cabana was fantastic!

We were in Austin for SXSW and this was the perfect accommodation for the event, far enough out of town to be quiet at night, while still being close enough to the action. (About a 25 minute walk or incredibly quick cab ride)

Jason was welcoming and accommodating, being nice enough to leave a bottle of wine and some beer in the fridge, before giving us plenty of privacy during the festival.  When a member of a group left her camera behind he was helpful in mailing it to us!

The cabana comfortably slept 5 of us, and we definitely recommend it for your next trip to Austin! "
349447,3862568,2013-03-22,3274579,Pete,"Jason's Cabana was fantastic.  Great build-out conversion of a large garage: excellent space and very attractive. Even nicer than the online pictures. Jason was a great host. Communication was excellent and he is a really frieindly with lots of helpful tips for Austin food, music and sites.  "
349447,3895353,2013-03-25,5052608,Alex,"This was our first time using Air BnB and visiting Austin, and all we can say is WOW!!!!!!! First of all the pictures do not serve the Eastside Cabana ANY Justice!! It's beautiful, comfortable, big, and close to downtown!! We certainly enjoyed being able to sleep in on the King bed and relaxing in our own living room and back yard in the mornings and evenings! Only a 5min cab ride to downtown (very fun) and centrally located to MANY other exciting and fun adventures that Austin has to offer. Jason was only a call or text away for any questions that we had and made sure that we found our way there safely, even had a bottle of wine waiting for us in the Cabana!"
349447,3962556,2013-03-31,2791371,Brady,"Had a great stay at Jason's place during our first visit to Austin.  We were primarily in town to visit UT, so the close proximity to the campus was very nice.  The place was in great shape and very comfortable.  No problems whatsoever.  Would definitely stay at Jason's place again for a future visit."
349447,4034438,2013-04-04,5211350,Betsy,"Jason's place was fabulous. Immaculate and comfortable. He was a great communicator, and everything went as planned. It felt like a home away from home. Definitely will go back to stay next time I'm in Austin."
349447,4079983,2013-04-08,1265033,Robin,"Our stay was good. Clean & comfy. Jason is always available, if needed. A bit of a walk to Blanton Museum & downtown, but were walkers so it was fine.
Thanks Jason for being a good host."
349447,4184297,2013-04-16,5532146,John,"Yet another five-star review! We came in on Saturday to meet our friends for a bachelor party downtown. Everything was perfect, JUST like in the pictures. We had originally planned to just drop off our stuff and head straight to the festivities, but the Cabana was so nice that we had to invite the bros over and enjoy the place for a couple hours first. EVERYONE wanted to know how I found this place and what they needed to do to book it for themselves. My only wish was that I could have stayed a bit longer. Thanks Jason!  "
349447,4223434,2013-04-20,2578372,Dennis,Wonderful place! Jason was super responsive even though he was out of town when we arrived. He was also communicative throughout the entire reservation process.  The apartment was awesome -- including the lift-up backyard garage door (as seen in photos). The amenities were great including the washer and dryer.
349447,4300833,2013-04-26,5291958,Shaun,"The Eastside Cabana was a fun place to stay during our visit to Austin. Great design of the space and comfortable, high-end finishes throughout. We really appreciated that Jason had thought of all the little things (providing shopping bags, umbrella, etc.) to make us feel at home. Easy walk to downtown and convenient to numerous Eastside amenities. The Eastside Cabana is a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin. "
349447,4356951,2013-04-30,4645792,Didier,"We had a great ""guest experience"" in Jason's Cabana!

And, by the way, he's a nice guy!"
349447,4471694,2013-05-07,5177499,Vince,"Great location! Your close to UT and downtown. Found the spot no problems. Great open studio/loft layout. Greated with a bottle of wine! Place is very comfy, and again i can't say enough about the location. Just outside of downtown, so close but yet far enough away that you don't hear anything. The last day we opened up the back door and it was great to have the palce cooled so well. Great spot!"
349447,4529923,2013-05-11,5319493,Carly,"Great first time AirBnB experience!  Check-in/check-out was easy and hassle free, location was quiet but within walking distance to restaurants on Manor Rd and restaurants/yoga on 12th St, and a five minute drive to downtown Austin.  The cabana itself was very true to the photos.  The bed was comfortable, backyard/outdoor area was large, and the space itself was very clean.  Overall, a great little house to come back to after exploring Austin.  Would stay here again!"
349447,4606513,2013-05-14,2665994,Jay,A really modern Cabana! Great kitchen and comfy bed! The washer/dryer helps for those long trips and the location is close to popular Eastside bars and restaurants! Great place to stay.
349447,4660896,2013-05-19,5508429,Brittany,"i had a great stay at jason's place. it was clean, had all of the basics to make a stay enjoyable, and only a 5 minute drive from downtown. thanks!"
349447,4743930,2013-05-23,5566370,Monette,"I have a good, nice experience in  my stay. Jason was & is very good host. Will recomend to my friends. It was just so hot & humid in Austin that time I was there. The house is so cool & hip!!! Very nice!!!"
349447,4874490,2013-05-30,4106163,Mary,"Modern, clean and comfortable, this studio has everything you need. It was the perfect retreat from the heat, rain, and hustle and bustle of the rest of our trip. Welcomed with a bottle of wine, everything was easy and within reach. Jason made the coordination before, during and after seamless. The only thing missing is a swimming pool! "
349447,4981169,2013-06-05,5803383,Melissa,"We had a great stay at Jason's cabana.  The location was super close to downtown, while still having a local neighborhood feel.  The cabana was impeccably clean and well-maintained.  The backyard and grill is also a nice perk. Jason made check-in and check-out really easy and hassle-free.  We'd definitely stay here again. "
349447,5068821,2013-06-10,1869295,Nick,"Great place. A bit smaller than I expected, but it did the job and it's the type of place I'd love to live in.

Great back yard. Perfect for yard games. All the channels you could want, a comfortable bed. Amentities were there.

As a warning to others, it's the house on the right - walked into the house on the left first"
349447,5214429,2013-06-18,3687412,Raghu,"Jason's Cabana was a great, cozy place for my girlfriend and I to stay at.  It was close enough to downtown for us to hit up South Congress or 6th in minutes and nice enough for us to stay in and cook a meal together.  Jason was a considerate host - from calling to give us a heads up on the landscaping being down to leaving us a bottle of wine. (We ended up drinking it on Mount Bonnell watching the sunset.)  Would recommend and stay here again!"
349447,5435077,2013-06-30,2874254,Michael,"I was in Austin for my fraternity's general convention which was held at the Austin convention center downtown. I decided against staying at the host hotel and decided to try out Jason's East Side Cabana. First of all for the cost of the cabana I would have only gotten to stay at the host hotel for about 3 or 4 days. So it was definitely a bargain. 

The cabana was beautiful and comfortable. It looked just like the pictures that are shown on the site. Jason was very accommodating during my visit. Whenever I needed his assistance. He was there to aid me within 2-3 minutes response time. The place was very clean and cozy and in a quiet and safe area. Safety is a definite must when traveling and lodging out of town. The cabana is also 6 minutes away driving time / 15-20 minutes walking regular pace time from downtown Austin.  Very close. The neighborhood also has a lot of treasures like local restaurants and vendors. 

Whenever I busy Austin again I will be sure to stay here. Jason and his place was awesome. "
349447,6256533,2013-08-05,488721,Kay,"The cabana was everything the pictures claim it to be.  We were informed when the cabana was ready for us and arrived to find a bottle of wine (nice touch). Everything you can think of is available (iron, washing machine, extra sheets and pillows).  While we weren't able to use the patio via the cool door, we were easily able to walk around the side of the house to access the patio.  The only suggestion that I would have for Jason would be to add a black shade on top of the gray shades on the front windows for added privacy.  Other than that, I will definitely be back when I return to Austin.

The Trimble's"
349447,6875096,2013-08-28,2954313,Laura,"I booked this house for an out of town actor, for a movie I was working on. Jason was a wonderful host, and the actor couldn't have been happier. "
349447,7174829,2013-09-09,4189991,Mandi,"I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at in Austin and I'm not just saying that! Jason's place was very true to the photos, it was perfect for my boyfriend and I. The location is prime for Austin nightlife. And Jason made check in and check out very easy! I recommend this place to ANYONE travelling to Austin!!"
349447,7372002,2013-09-17,263734,Adam,"My wife and I had such a blast this weekend in Austin. Jason was a fantastic host. He even invited us over one night to meet some of his friends and family. The location was great, only about a fifteen minute walk to the stadium. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed and more. Highly recommended. 
"
349447,7451654,2013-09-20,8914016,Julia,"Delightful architectural re-purposing of a classic East Austin small home, creating a comfortable, cozy abode for a family stay. Jason coordinated a great stay for us very last minute. Highly recommended.  "
349447,7508541,2013-09-23,7055415,Alex,"This is an awesome little house in a great location!  It's walking distance from UT and convenient to the airport.  Jason was a friendly, helpful host and we loved our stay."
349447,7672782,2013-09-29,8371719,Doug,Went out to Austin to hang out and see the city. This place is a great location close to 6th street. Jason was great with communication and a very helpful. The bed is big and comfy and if hanging out in the house is more your speed it's a cool place to chill. Pro tip: there's a good coffee shop just a few blocks away. 
349447,7948524,2013-10-09,1783387,Erik,"Jason's place was really nice. Clean, quiet, and close to many great spots in Austin (having a car helps a lot). We met Jason and he was a great guy - I felt he was a quick call away from providing any help or suggestions. Definitely recommended."
349447,8077441,2013-10-15,4657352,Tess,The house was clean and just as described! Loved the area and Jason was very helpful! He even left us a bottle of wine. It was a great experience staying at his house! I highly recommend it

349447,8872400,2013-11-23,4414576,Greg,Jason's place is excellent. It's close enough for a quick drive to reach downtown without having to fight the Interstate traffic. The house has everything you could ask for and I'd stay here again if I found myself in Austin. 
349447,8949004,2013-11-27,3720657,Keran,"The cabana was a superb place for us to stay in Austin. It was very spacious, clean, well appointed with a large comfortable bed. My wife and I enjoyed staying here just before Thanksgiving while visiting family.  There are great eating places close by including the Salty Sow a few blocks away. 

Jason was a gracious host. He made arrangements for us to get in, was responsive when we had questions and was flexible on storing our luggage before leaving.

We look forward to staying in the cabana on return trips. "

349447,9561081,2014-01-02,10534919,Kimberly,"Thank you so much for our wonderful stay in Austin! Jason went above and beyond to make sure our accommodations were perfect for myself, husband and two children. We were there for a birth of a family member and was a perfect location to hospital and all the sights for a visiting family. The house had all the amenities anyone would need. Jason even printed our tickets to the Texas basketball game! What a great host, location and house! Hope to stay with you again on our next visit. The Kings! "

349447,10027615,2014-01-26,11420215,Patrick,"My experience matched the other reviews I had read beforehand very well. Jason is very attentive, yet also stays out of your way. The Cabana is a cute, fully separate little house with clean, modern interiors. It's small, but a perfectly adequate and self-sufficient space for one to a few individuals."
349447,10128096,2014-02-01,11562752,Robyn,"Jason and his home were both wonderful. The home is as cute as it looks online. Jason was super responsive and low key. He answered our questions and booked our reservation quickly, but we did not see him while we were there. Although he lives right next door, you would never know it.  The home was great and we had a great time!"
349447,10296902,2014-02-11,8729563,Yani,"The Eastside Cabana was exactly what we were hoping for. It's private, spacious, modern, and in an excellent location to Austin's tourist attractions and popular spots. Jason was accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. "
349447,10453930,2014-02-19,11737781,Mark,"Great experience. After I got off the plane, Jason called to let me know there was a six-pack of local brew waiting for me in the fridge. He and his fiancee were very friendly, and both took the time to chat with me about what to see in the area during my visit. The cabana house itself was very clean and comfortable. I'll be back!"
349447,10578344,2014-02-25,8750938,Blake,"This is definitely an Eastside Cabana with lots to enjoy and very cozy. I recommend riding the bikes that are provided by Jason or renting a car if you want to explore more of Austin.

Lastly, the garage was an amazing feature that we enjoyed all weekend with temps in the 90's but you will need to push the door closed from the outside as it's quite heavy. "
349447,10899142,2014-03-12,4200389,Daniel,"Had a great stay here while attending SXSWi - Jason's house is very nicely laid out, has all the amenities you could want/need and he's a super friendly nice guy.  The house is a quick 15 min ride from the airport using the back streets (thanks Car2Go!) and a 20 min walk from downtown or 5 min car ride.  Seriously will return here to next year's event.  

Great neighbourhood also, some nice places to eat all within walking distance ( 10 mins) - bars, brunch places and so on.  "
349447,10999637,2014-03-17,6795336,Matthew,"Had a great stay during SXSW music -- comfortable, clean, and very quiet, perfect after a long day in the crowds.  Jason was super helpful and responsive.  Walkable (~20 mins) from 6th street, with easy access to bus and car2go.  I would definitely stay here again."
349447,11241802,2014-03-26,1386011,Fran,We really enjoyed our stay in the cabana. Place outfitted very nicely. Bed very comfortable. Location very convenient for our work at the University. Host was very nice and accommodating.
349447,11306391,2014-03-29,1216040,Alex,"What a wonderful place to stay in Austin! Jason's Eastside Cabana is perfectly located for exploring the city and is just a short walk from cool coffee shops (Bennu), restaurants, and a great little market (The Wet Whistle), where one can find all sorts of tasty beers and local treats. The Cabana is also a lovely spot to just relax and enjoy an afternoon reading in the calm of the back yard.  
Definitely stay here on your next trip to Austin. "
349447,11454265,2014-04-03,11456737,Cathy,"We were very happy with Eastside Cabana, very clean, comfortable with extra amenities that were appreciated.  Jason & Meredith were easy to communicate with a very responsive.  We loved the feel of the cabana, the beds were very comfy and I would highly recommend it to anyone checking it out as a possibility.  Loved the décor.  Would like to see a coffee table and small table for the outside seating area for added convenience and comfort.  Outstanding experience!"
349447,11584838,2014-04-08,1731730,Cristina,"I had a wonderful 4 days in Austin staying at Jason's cabana. The place is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood and the location is right off 35 and is easy to find. It is only about a 10 minute drive to downtown Austin, and it is right outside the UT campus. Jason was very great at communicating and making accommodations. I would love to stay here again!"
349447,11795117,2014-04-15,12179779,Megan,The cabana was such a treat over a traditional hotel room  Jason really thought of everything when setting this place up.  The outdoor space was a cherry on top because the weather for our trip was incredible.  Loved the neighborhood and walked to the coffee shop each morning just a couple of blocks away.  I would recommend this spot to anyone traveling to Austin and looking to escape the hustle/bustle but still wants to be close to everything and downtown.  Thanks again! 
349447,12008164,2014-04-21,13423250,Shana,"We had a great time in Austin. Stayed over Easter weekend. Jason was very helpful and attentive, when needed. The place was clean and has plenty of natural light and is very cozy and nicely furnished. The shower is extra nice as well. Around the corner from UT's stadium in a quiet neighborhood. Be sure to rent a car.  I would definitely stay in Jason's property again. Very pleased!"
349447,12337530,2014-04-29,229763,Sean,"Great time at Jason's east side cabana. Nicely remodeled and decorated. Good location to downtown, I35, and great restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. We made use of his bikes as well. Jason was very responsive when we had questions. I'd recommend this lodging to others. 
Cheers, 
Sean "
349447,12540902,2014-05-05,13024153,Conor,"We stayed 3 nights in Jason's Eastside Cabana at the beginning of May. It was an ideal base for our visit to Austin, great location, very comfortable, and appreciated the beers left in the fridge on arrival. Would highly recommend. "
349447,13228507,2014-05-22,8756704,Tony,"Great location. Short drive to all the bars and downtown. Place is awesome. Clean. And exactly as advertised. Jason was very nice and offered advice on what to do in Austin. Things I would say to improve is the privacy could be improved with darker shades, and the wifi strength was weak. Otherwise. Great stay! Would do it again! "
349447,13458744,2014-05-27,1393020,Sama,"Very cool place, close to everything. Jason was a great host and gave good recommendations for things to do in the area. Will definitely come back when I am back in the area."
349447,13895986,2014-06-07,11347871,David,Great free-standing house close to the University of Texas and downtown. Was perfect for my needs and Jason was very communicative. 
349447,14325962,2014-06-16,3299488,Lonny,Perfect place to explore the Eastside. Very close to a plethora of bars but far enough away from the noise! Jason was the raddest host. He even provided us with an ice chest to trip out at the Greenbelt. The pictures of the accommodations do not do it justice. It was the perfect place to impress my girlfriend.
349447,14627163,2014-06-23,15763097,Kevin,"What a wonderful weekend we had at Jason's Cabana.  It was exactly like the pictures and reviews said.  Spoke with Jason a few times.  He is very accommodating, and very quick to respond to any questions.  The Cabana is in a great location; walking distance to restaurants on Manor Drive; and a quick drive to the UT campus.  We hope to stay here again on future trips to Austin.  Thank you Jason !!!"
349447,14822857,2014-06-27,8925193,Melody,Nice quiet place and close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay.
349447,15412866,2014-07-08,16550336,Bennett,"Loved my stay here, this place was everything as advertised. Short drive from downtown and in a peaceful neighborhood. Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin. "
349447,16518713,2014-07-28,18497873,Ramani,"Staying at Jason's was a great experience. We usually stay in hotels in Austin. My son introduced me to this new experience of staying in a B&B. Jason was easy to desk with. The room was great, comfortable and very trendy. Neighborhood was quiet and it was nice to walk around in. Will do this again."
349447,16963122,2014-08-04,19195210,Ali,"Hip bungalow in a great neighborhood! My wife and I stayed here last weekend. Jason was quick to respond and checked in to make sure everything met our expectations. Clean, comfy, and well decorated, I would definitely recommend a stay here!"
349447,17190647,2014-08-08,10440012,Clay,"Jason was very nice and quick to reply, was able to book and stay on very short notice with no problems. Place was very nice and the bed and air mattress was very comfortable. All and all a great stay "
349447,17586842,2014-08-14,18507354,K. Nicole,"The cabana was just what I needed! It was exactly like the pictures, very near and clean. It's in a very good location. Jason made sure that I was ok and that my relax-cation was off to a good start. I will be returning to Jason's little jewel! "
349447,17984855,2014-08-19,17565339,Lukas,"Had a great time at Jason's place. Great location and a perfect house for an Austin getaway, everything nice and new, would highly recommend it"
349447,18182536,2014-08-23,17226759,Ohara,"The Eastside Cabana was perfect for my short 4-day visit to Austin! Two of us stayed in the light and airy home and had plenty of space to spread out.  Jason was an accommodating host and answered any questions I had in a timely manner.  We arrived to a very clean household, I loved the touch of the scented candle that was lit to fill the space with a great aroma to welcome us. The washer and dryer unit were great to have on hand. I would stay here again! "
349447,18862225,2014-09-01,19954152,John,Was a super cute and easy spot.  Highly recommend.
349447,19476222,2014-09-13,19698173,Rosie,"I enjoyed my stay at the cabana very much. My host was very friendly and the space met all my expectations in terms of what was shown in the pictures. The neighborhood wasn't so bad but did seem a little sketchy. It was next to a grave yard and some of the other homes were, shall we say, not as nice/under developed. Things like that are generally entertaining for me but perhaps others might be weirded out by that. However, it was a cool spot and I would definitely stay again.
"
349447,19745228,2014-09-17,20652121,Ashley,"Jason's place is even cuter in person than in the pictures. This was our first time using airbnb and we can't imagine ever staying in a hotel again. It was so nice having our own little home to come back to after exploring all Austin has to offer. Thanks for everything Jason, we will definitely stay here again if we ever return. "
349447,19944452,2014-09-21,20039853,Jordan,Great location and residence!
349447,20741818,2014-10-05,3768612,Signy,"The host was welcoming and helpful right from the first minute we arrived. The place was very clean and tidy, had all the amenities and felt very much like a hotel - we were spoiled!"
349447,21037254,2014-10-10,20651697,Mitch,"Jason's awesome and the Eastside Cabana is nicely situated with easy access to UT, downtown and the hip new bars on the East Side. Modern, clean, crisp and comfy. Just right for 1-2 people looking to feel at home in their own private Austin getaway."
349447,21613351,2014-10-20,20702015,Stephanie,"Jason's place was as nice as it looks, plus the front yard has a face lift! I can't thank him enough for accepting my special request.  The cast and crew enjoyed your space!"
349447,22101159,2014-10-30,20846126,Jake,This place is great! Just like the pictures. Jason have me some pointers on where to eat and he was right.I had no issues in the neighborhood. Close to downtown by bike. A little far for a walk but doable
349447,22288904,2014-11-03,16402386,Albert,Stayed here during formula 1 weekend. The place is as described. Jason was helpful and answered any questions we had about the city. The location is just outside of downtown and a five minute car ride to central downtown. His price was reasonable considering most everyone else was charging about $500+/night to stay downtown. 
349447,22521111,2014-11-09,20282400,John,"This place is lovely.  Place is spacious; colors are bright and attractive. Amenities are comfortable; easy walking distance to campus, quiet.  Fun restaurants easy 10 minute walk away."
349447,22824739,2014-11-16,7055415,Alex,"This was our second time staying in this cute bungalow since we loved it so much the first time.  The house is very comfortable, modern and homey and the host, Jason is very nice and full of helpful suggestions about places to go and things to do.

This house is not within walking distance of downtown but Austin is really better with a car and it's a short drive anywhere from this location.  We especially enjoyed exploring Manor Street, just a 10-minute walk to the north--packed with restaurants and low-key nightlife."
349447,23164164,2014-11-24,1522453,Betty,Great place and convenient location to many wonderful restaurants and bars. 
349447,23327218,2014-11-29,18295690,Whitney,"The house is exactly as pictured, cute and quaint!  Perfect for a weekend get away!  I'ts clean, and has everything you could possibly need! The bed is incredibly comfy, and you're left with plenty of pillows, towels, etc.   Walking to the UT game wasn't a problem at all!  Last year when we came to a game, we stayed off of Congress - staying here was made it MUCH easier to get to the game.  "
349447,23486108,2014-12-01,24096658,James,"Jason was great! The house was great, a perfect place to spend a weekend. Great location, good neighborhood. He responded very quickly and the check in/ check out was efficient. Thanks again Jason! "
349447,23710896,2014-12-08,23980320,Will,"My girlfriend and I were visiting from out of town and had the best weekend ever!  The house is in a great location; just east of UT, downtown and Congress ave.  The pictures were right in line with reality and I plan to reserve this place every time I come back.
The host, Jason was very accommodating and responsive to all questions.
I have a bad back and the bed and pillows were perfect.
I highly recommend the Eastside Cabana on your next trip to Austin."
349447,24129791,2014-12-20,25005359,Andrew,"The house was clean, cozy and very cute. Jason was very friendly and made himself available to us. I can't wait to come back in the spring and open the door and relax in the yard. Highly recommended!!"
349447,25062261,2015-01-05,22495723,Emma,"This place was a perfect getaway in the city. The place was so clean and relaxing and allowed us to have some space to spread out and enjoy Austin. It is a good location, quite close to the city. I would recommend having a car or some form of transportation to get around Austin but overall this was such a central location and i would definitely stay in the Eastside Cabana again!! Also it has a great backyard to hang out in and a small little BBQ too!
"
349447,25290122,2015-01-11,25477167,Johnny,We  really enjoyed our stay here... it was amazing and we would definitely do it again .The house is warming and just perfect for me and my husband.. The area was perfect for us to go out and about in downtown and perfect for us to get anywhere we needed to go in Austin.  I recommend this place to anyone if you're coming to stay in Austin and are wanting to have an amazing time and a great day.. Jason was very communitive and also answered all my questions I definitely recommend to stay with Jason to any one if they're coming to stay in Austin
349447,25557658,2015-01-19,7556472,Evan,"We had a terrific stay at Jason's cabana. The place comes just as described. It's clean, with loads of natural light, thanks to that garage door. It's a bit tricky to open and takes some muscle, but it's worth playing with: We opened it every day to let the breeze in whenever we knew we'd be in the apartment over an hour during the daylight. Jason was very communicative and helpful with any questions we had. Check-in was super simple, and check-out was just as easy. Great stay - I'd do it again in a heartbeat."
349447,26070559,2015-02-02,5670034,Trevor,"Jason was an awesome host, super friendly, and flexible with our arrival time. If you have the opportunity to stay in the cabana, definitely go for it. Place was as described, clean, and comfortable. It's in a very quiet area, but it's pretty easy to walk to both hipster-y East Austin joints as well as downtown (probably a 30-40 min walk). Great introduction to Austin - I would definitely stay here again."
349447,26257081,2015-02-08,1731730,Cristina,Wonderful place to stay. Second time here. This is THE PLACE to stay if you come to Austin.
349447,26465636,2015-02-13,6372957,Barry,This place was amazing. Jason was a great host. Loved the location and the apt was clean and comfortable. 
349447,26601056,2015-02-16,3763119,Nina,"House: 
This little house was great - looked exactly like the pictures and was very clean. There was a sweet front porch swing and the back deck was a lovely place to sit with coffee in the morning. We had a little trouble opening that glass garage door but Jason was next door and helped and that was just awesome to be able to open up the whole space like that!

Location:
The neighborhood is residential - if, like me, you're from an east coast city, it feels like you're in the suburbs, but you're actually in the city and a very quick drive to good food, good coffee, and fun bars.  We didn't easily find much to walk to, with the exception of one nice coffee shop about four blocks away, but were very close (5 min drive) to UT and all of the East Austin spots we wanted to go to.

Host:
Jason was very nice - next door and available when we had a question about the door, and answered text quickly when we had a question about the wi-fi password.

We would definitely stay here again if we came to Austin!  "
349447,26982773,2015-02-23,25594729,Jeffrey,"We enjoyed our stay at Jason's place immensely. The transfer of keys went off without a hitch, and he made himself available if we needed anything. 

The place is great! It's clean, modern, and comfortable. 

Next time we're in Austin we'll stay here.  "
349447,27409223,2015-03-03,27925391,Aubrie,"This place looks exactly like it does on online. Although we never met Jason, he was very welcoming and answered any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again! It was very clean and the places was stocked for everything we needed four our stay. The backyard was beautiful as well. "
349447,27487414,2015-03-05,28198187,Kathryn,My sister and I loved staying here. I could live in this adorable dwelling. It was a pleasure. Jason gave us advice on places to eat and go out. 
349447,27758019,2015-03-11,25700809,Charlotte,The home was really clean when we arrived. It was on a quiet street but close to everywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend this place to other travelers!!
349447,27811436,2015-03-12,28471206,Neddy,Jason was great!  Opened his door to my daughter wanting to know where to order pizza!!... Space was fantastic.  Kids didn't want to leave.  Really convenient to everywhere we wanted to go.  Would absolutely stay here next time in Austin!!
349447,28067201,2015-03-17,22886407,Sara,"Great first experience with Airbnb.  I was traveling for work to SXSW and didn't want to spend 10 days in a hotel.  Jason's place was ideal - perfectly formed with kitchen, laundry and living room in a quiet neighborhood only 10 minutes from downtown.  Really nice layout and furnishings, safe and quiet.  Jason was available for anything I needed but the house has complete privacy.  Highly recommended for a weekend getaway or business accommodation."
349447,28399940,2015-03-23,27705505,Dylan,"Had a great experience. Jason was easy to work with, and the place offered easy access to downtown for SXSW."
349447,28609544,2015-03-27,10501383,Cameron + Lisa,Everything was awesome! 
349447,28788395,2015-03-30,60319,Reena,"Jason's Cabana was the perfect place for my Austin stay. It's located in the middle of the city, so we were close to everything. It was a lovely, light-filled, airy open space & even had it's own private backyard with a grill and firepit! Jason gave us privacy, so we never met him. But he was totally responsive before/during our visit and available by phone. The kitchen had everything we needed and I also loved the fact that it was in walking distance from Juiceland. I went there multiple times a day. I would highly recommend staying there!"
349447,29149036,2015-04-04,13420255,Alexa,I loved my stay at the Eastside Cabana and everything about the space!! Jason was very easy to communicate with and the Cabana is in a very convenient area. 
349447,29614411,2015-04-10,28592262,Nancy,"Jason was attentive to our few questions, and a great host.  The place was well outfitted and exactly as advertised.  Strangely, we really enjoyed the location, a block from the old Oakwood Cemetary.  Part of our reason to visit Austin was for birding, and even the city birds were interesting at this location!"
349447,29908474,2015-04-14,15306642,Darcy,"We loved our stay at the Eastside Cabana. Jason and Meredith were very helpful and accessible via text/phone as needed throughout our stay. 

The place is exactly what it looks like in the pictures. We loved the garage door in the kitchen - it was nice to leave that open while having a drink on the back patio. The bed is very comfortable (we're very picky, so this is high praise), kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathroom was well stocked with many towels, washcloths, etc. We never had any issues with parking right in front of the unit - even during a baseball game. It took less than 5 minutes to drive to the heart of Austin, so the location was great. We highly recommend staying here!"
349447,31313741,2015-05-04,16305078,Rebecca,This was a great place! Everything was very clean and the location was great. Ultimately a very cute studio to spend the weekend at
349447,31620612,2015-05-07,2158894,Jake,"Very cute apartment on a quiet street with plenty of parking. Super-good communication and key pickup/dropoff. Clean and comfortable bed, sitting area, bathroom. Large refrigeration and decent glassware. I didn't cook, and the kitchen should be better equipped (I couldn't find any cooking knives or a colander, and only one, very small, cutting board). French press and coffee provided. Would definitely stay here again."
349447,32126086,2015-05-14,31475784,Zack,beautiful home in a great part of town. pictures do great justice!!! (p.s. nice bar within 2 blocks)
349447,32704476,2015-05-20,13240629,Nora,"Jason's place was just as described, very comfortable and quiet. It was our first time to Austin, we live in New York, and it was the perfect little home for our first trip. Jason was super accommodating and gave us some great suggestions on places to go. As someone said in an earlier comment, if you're from an East Coast city it will definitely feel like the suburbs. But a quick 10 minute Uber gets you to anywhere you might want to go. If you're into food like we are make sure you go to Dai Due for brunch, Juliet's for late night snacks and cocktails, and whatever you do you HAVE to go to Uchi for dinner. "
349447,34205359,2015-06-06,2927507,Matt,"I really enjoyed staying at Jason's place. I needed a place to do some work at that was peaceful and clean. This place was a perfect fit. It was easy to get to a Car 2 Go from here, or it is a relatively short walk to the university campus. The bed was clean, soft, and large. The water in the shower was hot and the air conditioner cool. I'd stay here again for sure."
349447,34631587,2015-06-10,30560314,Breanna,"Such a great experience! Not only was Austin amazing, we felt perfectly at home halfway across the country by staying at this location. Jason was super accommodating and made himself readily available to come over if we needed anything, but gave us all the privacy we could ask for. We met Jason our first night (by our choosing) and he recommended plenty of restaurants and even a yoga studio in the area. The place was welcoming and so cozy, and minutes from downtown- close enough that you're next to everything, but far enough away that you're not surrounded by nightlife. We've decided we will be visiting Austin about once a year now, and we will definitely be returning to this sweet cabana. Highly recommend!! "
349447,34978334,2015-06-14,22236763,Ben,"Very much enjoyed our stay here!  Although it's not a huge place (maybe (phone number hidden) SF), the finishes are well thought out and the place has a cool modern style.  Would highly recommend staying here as it has everything you would want or need for your stay.  "
349447,35507436,2015-06-19,15354219,Brian,"This place is Amazing. I would easily live in this house. It's clean, perfectly located, and awesome. The place is just as advertised if not better. Beautiful space inside, and beautiful backyard made this the perfect place to stay. Fun garage door to open in the back and sweet porch swing to sit on in front. Jason and his wife give full privacy and respond quickly with excellent communication. Only a couple streets away from amazing eating, beer drinking and coffee. Theres also a really great little co-op for garden fresh produce and vegan friendly eats. Would definitely stay here again."
349447,35700806,2015-06-21,29955016,Brit,The place was the perfect size and nice and clean. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be coming back!! 
349447,36092335,2015-06-25,30743792,David,Jason was a wonderful host and attended to any needs that arose during our stay.  His cabana is well appointed and extremely comfortable.  The location is central to so many wonderful bars and restaurants on the east side and only a few minutes from the heart of downtown.  We're looking forward to staying again next time we're in Austin.
349447,36547830,2015-06-29,3542044,Matt,"Great place! Exactly as described. Very well renovated, comfortable cabana with a very nice yard. We had four people sleeping here comfortably. The full kitchen came in handy. Jason was a great host and dropped by to see if we needed anything. Residential neighborhood, but it was just a quick Uber ride to get everywhere we needed. I'd highly recommend for small groups looking to explore Austin."
349447,37799499,2015-07-10,9773495,Jenna,We stayed at Jason's Eastside Cabana for 5 nights at the beginning of July. The Cabana is exactly as described and Jason was very attentive. The location was central which was great but not too many things within walking distance. We had a car so this was not an issue. I would recommend Jason's place and stay again when I'm in the Austin area! 
349447,38212796,2015-07-13,18851378,Adrienne,Check in was smooth with no problems. Jason was flexible with our check in and check out time. The house was clean and comfortable.  Jason was also very responsive with any questions we had.  We enjoyed our stay.
349447,38505936,2015-07-16,21820665,Jessica,"The Eastside Cabana was perfect for our 3 night getaway. The space was a great size for my boyfriend and I. Location was only a few if less miles from some really great places, I recommend the Blue Daliah Cafe. A Uber ride into downtown is 4-7 dollars. Oh and the best smoothie/ juice place JUICELAND is just a short walk away! All smoothie lovers will love their stay here. The property is located next door to the owner. Check in was super easy. All around the trip was lovely and the Cabana was great! "
349447,38953634,2015-07-19,8039762,Spencer,"This place is great and adorable, and I love how well the space has been maximized! There is now a very nice deck in the backyard also. My boyfriend and I stayed for the weekend, and it was a perfect size for the two of us. Jason was very flexible with our check-in and check-out time and was very responsive. Since he didn't have anyone staying there the night before we arrived, we are able to check in at 10am.  It is very close to everything, it's easy to get to, and it's a quick uber ride to downtown.  I'd definitely stay here again!"
349447,39692317,2015-07-25,38710105,Isaac,Our expectations were met completely! Jason was incredibly respectful and took great care of us. We will be sure to visit again! 
349447,40300380,2015-07-29,29416247,Eve,"Jason was great!! He was super helpful with such a late notice rental ( essentially a same -day arrival) and made the check-in super easy...  we really appreciated it so much!

The bungalow was super cute, clean, spacious and comfortable as well, plus, the backyard is so great! Has a super cute fire pit and smoker available.  I wish we could have enjoyed it but the weather was too hot to do so. 

I would really recommend both this wonderful little house and working Jason as a host.  Thanks so much!!!"
349447,40742162,2015-08-02,1173438,Molly,"Jason reached out the day before we arrived and provided all the information needed for check-in and everything was very accurate. 

We loved East Austin and the cabana was close to numerous restaurants, coffee houses and juice bars. There's also several great bars and shops in the area. 

The cabana was super cute, clean and modern.  The backyard is perfect for hanging; with chairs, a grill and strung lights.  

We'd highly recommend it and would love to head back for round two. :)"
349447,41269200,2015-08-05,2251759,Kaycie,"Jason's place was a perfect fit for my husband and our two kids to enjoy Austin. We loved the space, and Jason was a helpful host. We would stay here again, wonderful location!"
349447,41945002,2015-08-10,21360317,Tj,"This was my first AirBnB experience and I loved this place! Great home to escape from the Texas heat, plenty of room to sprawl out and make yourself comfortable, and close enough to downtown that catching a ride to and from whatever you're doing isn't a problem. Jason lives right next door so if you need to talk to him about anything, it's very easy to get recommendations or have him look into a problem for you. I called him about a minor problem one night of my stay, the next morning he came over and took care of the problem and even bought me breakfast tacos to make up for it! He's a great guy with a great place, I would definitely stay there again."
349447,42919212,2015-08-16,39442904,Vignesh,"Jason messages me instructions for check in the day before my arrival. Very easy and convenient process. He was both non-intrusive and helpful at the same time. The eastside cabana was clean and orderly, and stocked with all the essentials. Would recommend to anyone trying to find a place in austin. "
349447,44161956,2015-08-24,15766638,Nancy,"The listing is as beautiful in person as the pictures that were posted. My stay in the cabana was great. It was clean, next to major highways and was in a safe neighborhood that made me feel better because I was traveling alone. Overall, I had a greag experience but was disappointed with my check-out process.

Aside from my check-out experience, I had a wonderful stay in Austin. Jason was good at responding to messages and I am sure that if you had any issues, he would resolve it quickly. I definitely recommend staying here.
"
349447,45833035,2015-09-06,41319713,Abi,"Awesome place, and close to everything! I was able to walk to the museums on UT's campus within 15 minutes, and the Capitol within 20! Jason did a great job of providing everything we needed to stay for a week, and the place was cozy and cool for any downtime we got. It's a quick, $5 uber over to E. 6th Street bars and dining, but, honestly, I was just as comfortable and content staying here and enjoying the (website hidden) with AT&T Uverse was beautiful - great reception and channel selection for escaping the heat. Perfect home-base for extended stays!"
349447,46107424,2015-09-07,15743035,Reynaldo,"Perfect get away house, really enjoyed our stay."
349447,46991531,2015-09-14,5368791,Laurel,"Stylish, comfortable, clean, and quiet.  We had a great stay at the cabana. It has everything you need.  Although we were out and about most of the time, the back patio would be a great place to hang out and the kitchen is very usable.  We rented bikes for the weekend and rode everywhere in town.  Also an easy Uber ride to anywhere.  Loved the east side location.  
The only heads up I would give people is that there are not privacy blinds on the windows.  It's a really quiet street, but there is no way to make sure that folks outside can't see in when the lights are on at night.  Didn't dampen our enthusiasm for the place (we'd happily stay there again!), but FYI."
349447,47408091,2015-09-18,1316546,Daniel,Great place to stay. Clear communication and will be back soon!
349447,47677971,2015-09-21,39560614,Eric,"I was there for the Cal vs Texas football game and we had an awesome time! The stadium is walking distance and downtown is not far at all. 
The place was very nice and neat with everything you could want. Jason was always a phone call away, and was very trusting. I would definitely stay there again!
Go Bears!"
349447,48132785,2015-09-23,27663408,Monica,"Stayed for one night. This cabana is awesome! I echo what others have said: clean, great decor, easy to get everywhere in downtown Austin quick and inexpensively. Jason had clear check in and check out information. Very cute place to stay!"
349447,48548769,2015-09-27,12316809,Dumpster,"Host was very easy to work with, location was perfect, and the place was very nice and clean. Highly recommended."
349447,49157792,2015-10-01,13636662,Julie,"Easy check in, great location, clean and modern kitchen.  The backdoor/window was really unique.  Jason was easily reached for any questions.  Found the in wall air conditioner to be noisier than I like but it did effectively cool the space while I was there."
349447,51124415,2015-10-18,5611209,James,A very comfortable open plan with plenty of light. We loved having our morning coffee on the back deck. Jason was great to work with and made check-in & out a snap. Great location with easy access to some very good restaurants. We hope to return on another stay in Austin.
5101575,28435134,2015-03-23,279243,Keau,"The team at East End Partners were a breeze to work with. They were accommodating, so friendly and all about hospitality. I would recommend staying here to anyone interested in a fabulous home in Austin."
4759081,26874279,2015-02-21,25858144,Jt,"Sara & Richard were terrifically accommodating and the place is just lovely, perfectly appointed and located. We wanted to return for the subsequent weekend, but It was unfortunately booked. If I return to Austin I would certainly stay here again for as long as I could. Highly recommended,"
4759081,27109023,2015-02-25,27706659,Rick,"We really enjoyed our stay!  Sara and Richard were very welcoming and had everything perfectly ready for our visit.  The neighborhood was great - quiet with easy walkability - and we took advantage of the nearby restaurants and shops.  The house is very spacious and has a comfortable bed, sofa, and modern bathroom.  For future Austin trips, we would definitely stay here again!"
4759081,27497102,2015-03-06,26413853,Daniel,"What a wonderful home and a truly wonderful experience. Traveling with a toddler, the last thing I needed was to have a stuffy hotel room with no place to let him decompress. Not only was there tons of space, but Richard and Sara had a pack n play and a high chair for us! The home is a true vintage gem, and Richard is one heck of a remodeler. The neighborhood is super quiet and so close to everything. We couldn't have asked for better hosts either. If you're looking for top notch comfort at the most reasonable price, book it now!"
4759081,27581190,2015-03-08,19707916,Nathan,"The William Green House is the *perfect* place to stay in Austin. The historic property and all its charm compel you to stay put while the walkable location, nearby amenities and authentic spots draw you out. When I return, it will be to stay right here. "
4759081,27798432,2015-03-12,3983439,Nicole,"Sara's place is wonderful and cozy, and they are very attentive.  There is one master bed and a pull out that worked great for us.  The neighborhood is great as well.  It's a nice walk to the convention center and near whole foods. I would definitely stay again."
4759081,28117855,2015-03-18,949487,Deena,"This is a wonderful place to stay if you’re visiting Austin, especially during a festival. It's a in a beautiful, quiet, safe, neighborhood and just a quick bike ride to downtown or Zilker Park. I fell in love with the apartment right away – it’s incredibly charming and comfortable, and Sara and Richard are fantastic, responsive, thoughtful hosts. Everything you want from an airbnb experience. Wish I could have stayed longer!"
4759081,28302489,2015-03-22,1590489,Aaron,"We loved the William Green House and our hosts were incredibly nice and genuine.  They responded quickly with anything we needed and went out their way to provide us with extra info about getting around, transportation, and what has changed since our last visit to Austin.  The location is beautiful and sits on a very nice, quiet street just west of downtown within walking distance to everything you'd want to experience in Austin.  Both the King size bed and the pullout sofa were very comfortable, and they had the nicest, most plush pillows I've ever slept on, seriously.  I will definitely be coming back.  Thanks again Sara and Richard!"
4759081,28639016,2015-03-27,21222639,Jason,"The apartment is in an ideal location. It's so close to everything! We couldn't have been more pleased with comfortable accommodations. Would love to stay here again! 
"
4759081,29016203,2015-04-02,25371251,Mike,"Sara and Richard are wonderful hosts and made us feel right at home.  The space was freshly redone yet is oozing with charm and character.  
It's also in a prime location,. close to everything.   We look forward to coming back again soon!!!"
4759081,29486528,2015-04-08,6473362,Cindy,"We really enjoyed our stay. Sara and Richard are lovely and often asked if we needed anything. The apartment is beautiful, comfortable, spacious and perfect for our 5 night stay.  The location was perfect for us, But it would also be perfect for anyone wanting to be near most of Austin. We certainly can highly recommend this sit."
4759081,30941773,2015-04-29,20454310,Veronica,"The house was perfect for what we needed during our short stay in Austin. The entire place was very tidy and comfortable. We only stayed for two days and ate our meals out, so we did not need a big kitchen.  But I appreciated that the dishes and silverware were available and were clean (and in fact looked brand new).  The bed and the couch were both very comfortable. There were printed instructions on our arrival that contained information on things like the wi fi password but also listed nearby grocery stores, restaurants and outdoor activities.  We found that list very helpful.  Everything we could have needed was available and easy to find - even shampoo, conditioner and body wash.  The hosts sent us easy instructions before we arrived, welcomed us when we arrived and were available should we need anything, even checking in with us about our comfort when the weather turned unusually cold.  The yard was beautiful, parking was easy and the house is well-situated within walking distance of shops and sights.  I have no complaints and would stay here again. "
4759081,31111021,2015-05-02,29661917,Efleda,"This was our first airbnb experience so we didn't know what to expect. We had very little interaction with our host, which is okay by me.   Needless to say they made the home feel welcoming, like a place of our own. The house is very charming and the neighborhood was quaint. The location is great, walking distance to some cool places. We felt safe to walk the dog around the neighborhood and having the dog park near by is a plus. Overall we enjoyed our time in Richards and Sara's home. "
4759081,31468696,2015-05-05,2886716,Adam,"It was a very pleasant stay at Richard and Sara's place. The annex is its own full 1 bedroom apartment with a kitchen, bathroom. living room and large bedroom. The house is lovely and in a nice location, walking distance to Whole Foods and a couple of restaurants and bars --- and a cheap Uber ride downtown. Thanks!"
4759081,32048551,2015-05-13,26257776,Ray,Sara and Richard were excellent hosts and were both very helpful when I contacted them both. The house was in the perfect area for us to take advantage of what Austin has to offer. Accommodations were beyond expectations and perfect fir a small family. Quiet neighborhood and it is a great family friendly area as well. I look forward to returning to Austin and will be planning to stay at this location again. A real gem of an Air bob.
4759081,32887360,2015-05-23,2066798,Sandra,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience.  Sarah and Richard were very welcoming.  This was our first time using Airbnb and we plan to do it again thanks to Sarah and Richard.  
The description of the place was on point.  The place was very homey, clean and very spacious.  We loved the neighborhood.  The average person might not think this is ""close"" to downtown, but for us who are active, this was perfect.  For those who want to cook their meals, there is an awesome Whole Foods just a few blocks away as well as cafes and restaurants. 
What we did not expect was to stay at a historical place that has been own by the family for centuries and been well kept."
4759081,33220036,2015-05-26,25631306,Deirdre,"My boyfriend, friend and I stayed at the Annex for three nights in May. It's a lovely space -- exposed brick, original hardwood floors, a newly upgraded small kitchen, a huge bedroom and a nice bathroom with standing shower (love that we didn't have to deal with a tub!). The host, Sara, was great -- she never intruded, but would definitely have been available had we needed or wanted her. She even checked in to make sure everything was OK after unprecedented thunderstorms rolled through the city. She clearly cares about both the space and her guests.

The kitchen was great -- we walked 8 minutes to the Whole Foods and got groceries so we could cook and eat at home a few times during our visit. My friend stayed on the pull-out couch and found it very comfortable.

The total space of the unit was great for three people. The only tough bit was the location of the bathroom -- it's through the bedroom, so that's something to keep in mind if your party is more than just one or two people sleeping in the bedroom."
4759081,33660579,2015-05-31,16693732,Hannah,"I and my boyfriend's family had the pleasure of staying in Sara's historic apartment and it was absolutely perfect. Sara made sure we had everything we needed while giving us privacy to enjoy our vacation. The location was quiet, but close enough to downtown to walk. The apartment was clean and had all the necessary amenities. I'd stay here again in a heart beat. "
4759081,36848871,2015-07-01,3770938,Amanda,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4759081,37166432,2015-07-05,17243864,Russ,We enjoyed our 4th of July weekend here. Great house in a perfect location for us. We walked to Sixth street and enjoyed Barton Springs and kayaking on Town Lake nearby. The house was clean comfortable and had everything we needed. Would stay here again for sure! 
4759081,40712664,2015-08-02,2186021,Kim,"My daughter and I stayed at the William Green Hill House for an entire month while she attended classes at UT. Our time in Austin would not have been remotely as enjoyable if we had stayed anywhere else. I cannot express how grateful I am to Sara, Richard, and their son (who was home from college for the summer) for their incredible hospitality. They are genuinely concerned that their tenants are comfortable and happy, which we were. The apartment was immaculate, spacious, well-appointed, and included all the amenities one could want, including a full range of cable TV channels & wifi. The bed, sheets & blankets were so comfortable! I did quite a bit of cooking and can tell you the kitchen was great for long-term stays. We felt so at home and safe in this house and in this beautiful neighborhood.

If you appreciate well-preserved historical homes with original floors, windows, woodwork, etc. in neighborhoods filled with the like, the William Green Hill House is for you! I spent mornings eating breakfast on the front porch followed by enjoyable neighborhood walks. I spent most mornings walking down to Lake Ladybird and along the riverbank. Besides many restaurants, Einstein's bagels, Whole Foods, Amy's Ice Cream being within walking distance, there's also a graffiti park that is a must-see for those who appreciate great art. Also, a 5-minute drive away is the Texas Rowing dock where one can rent paddleboards, canoes or kayaks. All major shopping like an Apple Store, Target, department stores, etc are 10-20 minutes away.

Anytime we return to Austin, there is no question I will be contacting Sara & Richard. We are so grateful for the opportunity to stay in the apartment of this beautiful home!"
4759081,41945080,2015-08-10,12406226,Ben,"The apartment was beautiful, clean, and as-described. The neighborhood was super gorgeous, too.  

There were a few minor hiccups, but nothing that would prevent me from staying again in the future!"
4759081,42881000,2015-08-16,37627650,Kesar,Richard and Sara were both very helpful and easy to get in touch with even though they weren't in town the weekend we stayed with them. The place was perfect - clean and well-stocked - and in a great location. 
4759081,52813831,2015-11-02,1307241,Calvin,"Richard and Sara were very welcoming and accommodating. They made themselves available for anything I needed.

The space was exactly as advertised. Spacious. Lots of wood. High ceilings. Gets good light. But, if you're a late sleeper the bedroom has good blackout drapes. There's also a nice front porch to sit on if you want to read, chat or drink your tea or sip your wine. It is also very conveniently located near nearby shops and restaurants as well as very walkable to other areas. Or you could take a cab/Uber to areas further away.

Would definitely stay again if I went back to Austin."
1398635,7552256,2013-09-24,7900161,John,"(Note: the booking was made by my dad John, so the review will be under his name, but I, Rachael, was the one who made use of the cottage.)

This was a really wonderful cottage, and Lindsey and Steve were excellent hosts.  They were very friendly and always happy to help with any questions or concerns that I had.  The decor added a lot of character, the self-catering facilities covered all of my needs, and the furniture was all very comfortable.  The cottage was also in a good location, as it provided easy access to the university area, and to bus routes which enabled me to reach other parts of Austin.  There are also a lot of great cafes and restaurants in surrounding area.  I greatly enjoyed my stay in Austin, and would definitely be happy to stay in Lindsey's cottage again."
1398635,8498223,2013-11-03,8406212,Reiko,"I had a wonderful time there! A very charming and cozy cottage located in a quiet residential area, but still close to grocery stores, caffes, restaurants, and a main road where you can easily catch the bus to downtown. A nice kitchen equipped with all the basics (such as oil, spices, etc, so that you don't need to buy those).  The houseowner was very nice and helpful, too. I had a little problem with wifi (signals were rather weak), but they lent me their laptop, and promised they would fix the problem. Absolutely recommended!"
1398635,8773061,2013-11-17,4363043,Alisa,"I had a wonderful experience during my first trip to Austin while staying in Lindsey's adorable cottage! This was my first experience using AirBnB, and I cannot say enough good things about our stay- Lindsey was extremely easy to get in touch with and helpful leading up to our trip, and made sure that my boyfriend and I were comfortable and happy. The cottage is located in a beautiful and convenient part of town--  quiet enough for sound sleep and walking distance from good restaurants/bars. We loved the decorations and little touches throughout the cottage. Since we only came into town for 3 days, we didn't really utilize the kitchen, but it is fully appointed for cooking a proper meal. Lindsey even offered us some fresh eggs from her chicken coop! I hope to come back to Austin and if so, I would love to stay here again!"
1398635,8831262,2013-11-20,7836007,Elizabeth,"Charming is a great word for this rental.  It is bright with light and colors, tucked along a garden patio.  The kitchen is well equipped for longer stays and the location to UT and downtown is excellent.  The only downside is a soft, worn mattress but the positives more than outweigh this problem.  We plan to stay again sometime."
1398635,9067725,2013-12-04,5907073,Stephen,"A lovely, comfortable, and quiet place to rest your head and put your feet up in a great location."
1398635,10044198,2014-01-27,5839109,Beth,"The Crow Cottage is wonderful and Lindsey is a gracious, thoughtful host. The cottage is perfectly appointed and very comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Austin looking for a great place to stay in a lovely neighborhood."
1398635,10429449,2014-02-18,1094261,Katie,Really enjoyed the cozy cottage. Everything in the space is laid out amazingly well!  Excellent location- we walked  to a cool park nearby as well as to UT. We hope to stay there again on another Austin visit.   
1398635,10720176,2014-03-04,6761421,Nancy,"Wonderful ! I had the best time with my daughter (she attends UT), last weekend.  Lindsey thought of everything.  Comfortable bed, coach, places for studying, full kitchen., great location.   To quote my daughter, ""I could live here!""  Thanks, Lindsey - this will definitely be my go to place when I visit."
1398635,10835768,2014-03-10,7856469,Stephanie,Lindsey was very welcoming and the cottage was just as described. The location is great and I really preferred the cozy cottage over staying in a hotel. I would definitely stay here again!
1398635,10974771,2014-03-16,3263088,Kara,Lindsey was such a wonderful host. Great set up and perfect for sxsw. We loved our stay.
1398635,11135318,2014-03-22,5315570,Sarah,"I stayed at Crow Cottage for 5 nights, and it was wonderful! Super convenient to campus, and a 10 minute ride downtown. It had everything you would need, and was tucked away in Hyde Park, a really beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Lindsey was super friendly and checked in to make sure everything was taken care of. Overall -- GREAT! Thank you!"
1398635,11273888,2014-03-27,3795055,Guillermo,"I got this place for my parents who where visiting for a few days. I wanted them to be in a central location that was close to everything. Lindsey's cottage was perfect, my parents loved it, it was very cozy and had everything you could possibly need. 

Lindsey was very helpful and promptly replied to all my questions. She also was very kind to introduce herself with my parents and let them know she was there in case they wanted anything. My parents told me that when they return they would like to stay at this cottage again. Thanks."
1398635,11756721,2014-04-14,12812025,Robert,"This  place lives up to its pictures. A cute and coozy cottage in a quiet, central location. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Lindsey, our host, was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended."
1398635,12151821,2014-04-24,12755037,Tin Yi,"I had a wonderful stay at Crow Cottage.  It was really close to all amenities ie the bus, supermarkets, good eating places and in a very central spot so it was easy to get anywhere.  Having the bike really helped me get to my course nearby.  The cottage was charming, cozy, and equipped with everything one needed in a home away from home.  Lindsey is a perfect host; warm, friendly and welcoming, she made sure I had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and was totally available to answer any questions I had.  Having such a nice base really enhanced my trip. I would definitely come back again and totally recommend staying here!"
1398635,12662956,2014-05-07,13875261,Jenna,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and Linsey was great! The cottage is adorable, comfortable, and in a really great spot if you want to be close to several neighborhoods and the bus lines. Lindsey was available if we needed anything and was so sweet to make sure our stay was comfortable. Thank you, Lindsey! "
1398635,12936676,2014-05-14,11420583,Gerardo,The crow cottage is very quaint and cozy! It's location is very central and it gives the feeling of being somewhere in the peaceful countryside. Lindsey is very friendly and had everything to make our stay most comfortable. Would love to go back!
1398635,13077589,2014-05-19,983686,Dana,"I had booked the Crow Cottage for my girlfriend's parents that were in town for a visit. I ended up spending a fair amount of time there in between our activities and outings during their visit.

The cottage has an amazing layout and such a smart use of space. Even though the size is small it seems like a much larger place! It is very nicely furnished and has everything you need. I would highly recommend this place and I will definitely be using it again for any family or friends that visit."
1398635,13573360,2014-05-31,7813911,Barbara,"My husband and I stayed one week in Lindsey’s cottage while visiting our daughter who attends UT. The cottage is behind Lindsey’s house and had everything we needed including living room, kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. There is even a loft bedroom area for a third person. The cozy cottage is nicely decorated, comfortable and clean. The location is convenient for getting around central Austin. Lindsey was a wonderful host and we hope to return again!"
1398635,13853333,2014-06-06,15316962,Patricia,"I was drawn to the cozy look of the cottage, and it was indeed cozy.  It's a lovely space, surrounded outside by flowers and greenery.  When my son visited, he commented ""this is you"" as soon as he walked through the gate and stepped on the path that leads to the cottage entrance.  There is a Zen Center just down the street, a fantastic ""all-gluten"" restaurant one block further, and a great Co-op across Guadalupe.  I had everything I needed, appreciated the ""green"" products in the kitchen and bath, and put the washer and dryer to good use...temps were higher than I am used to.  I'm sure I left a few unwanted pounds in Austin after walking everyday.  Check out Central Market on Lamar too!  
All in all, I couldn't have asked for a better match!  Lindsey and Steve are attentive and thoughtful hosts, and I am happy to have met them."
1398635,13975647,2014-06-09,835236,Jenny,"Lindsey was great!  The cottage was fantastic.  The listing and pictures make the cottage look wonderful, and upon arrival you will find that they don't do it justice. It is even better than the pics show!  We had a great night of walking to dinner and in the morning you can walk to a great bakery or grab something from a very nice local grocery store.  You will not be disappointed if you book the Crow cottage...except for having to leave!"
1398635,14671867,2014-06-23,2255832,Noelle,"Our stay at The Crow Cottage was magical. My best friend and I met up in Austin for a get-away girls weekend & we couldn't have pictured or asked for anything better. 
The Cottage was nestled away in what felt like a secret garden - and SO close to all the main attractions and things to do around town. 
The cottage was fully equipped with anything we may have needed. Lindsey made sure we knew where everything was and was an absolute delight. Definitely re-booking at this cottage when I return to Austin for another get-away weekend. 
Thank you Lindsey !  "
1398635,14920809,2014-06-29,15583679,Megan,"I have only nice things to say about our stay at the cottage! My husband and I were celebrating our one year anniversary in Austin, and Lindsey had a bottle of champagne and a delicious strawberry cake waiting for us in the fridge!

Lindsey was kind and hospitable. We never had trouble getting in touch with her. The backyard was like something out of a fairy tale. If we find ourselves in Austin again (and hopefully, we will), we hope to stay at the Crow Cottage. It was a great experience!

The location is also walking distance to quite a few restaurants and the Wheatsville Food Co-op (where I could live the rest of my life!). "
1398635,15351466,2014-07-07,8888324,Olga,The place is the most serene place you can find right in the heart of Austin. Only 2 miles from Downtown and the most adorable little cottage you can imagine. We had a wonderful weekend and will come back if the place is available. 
1398635,15889136,2014-07-17,17812599,Dallas,"What a terrific week in the Crow Cottage - Lindsey so welcoming, flowers blooming and even rain! - for a person who lives in the desert - me - a treat. The cottage is delightful and comfortable, the shower is hot and the setting quiet and just right for reading or entertaining friends at dinner. The location is in the middle of everything I needed to do and a great walking neighborhood as well. I'll look forward to returning."
1398635,16233604,2014-07-23,1509184,Amy,"Lindsey was great, she has thought of everything, down to putting a mini flashlight on the house keychain. She brought me fresh eggs from her chickens, and would leave the outdoor lights on for me, when I was coming home after dark. Her place is adorable and very cozy! I've already booked again for my next trip to Austin."
1398635,16471873,2014-07-28,16500010,Margaret,"Our stay was delightful and restful.  Our host greeted us, walked us through and was available for any of our needs.  The place was impeccably clean and cozy.  Could have cooked whole meals if I wanted to.  No disturbances.  Great neighborhood with places to eat around and close to transportation.  I loved the decor and how everything had a special spot for storage.  I would recommend the Crow Cottage to anyone visiting Austin who would like to stay on the north side of downtown.  Hope to be back some time soon.  Margaret M.  "
1398635,16810345,2014-08-02,19009787,Brendan,"We had a great stay. Lindsey was welcoming upon our arrival and helpful with information, throughout our stay. The neighbourhood was great, real quiet and peaceful. The accommodation was lovely, quaint, cozy, and comfortable. We stayed in summer when it was 100+F and the place has central AC! We just switched it on when we got home and it was cool in no time.  It's so nice to be able to stay somewhere like this as opposed to generic hotels. I just read that it's more environmentally responsible as well. Which is something Lindsey would be happy about, as when you stay you'll notice her love of gardening and the environment. The stay was real positive. "
1398635,18314638,2014-08-25,1094261,Katie,We enjoyed the cottage very much as we have in the past. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking implements. Bed is comfy. 
1398635,18529311,2014-08-28,5335129,Carly,We had a great time here. The house is lovely and Lindsey was nice and attentive. Would certainly recommend.
1398635,18825667,2014-09-01,6761421,Nancy,"This was my second visit to Crow cottage and it did not disappoint.  Lindsey has thought of everything, completely equipped, great location.  The bed is so comfortable that my husband and I are hoping to get the same one for home.  Thanks Lindsey!"
1398635,19105150,2014-09-06,955792,Aleksey,Lindsey was a great host. She was very communicative throughout the process and she was very accommodating of our late arrival and early departure times. The cottage is exactly as described - it's even cuter than the photos convey. The bed is exceptionally comfortable. The location is right off North Lamar - very accessible to all parts of Austin. 
1398635,19206162,2014-09-08,19072238,Vanessa,"we loved staying in the crow cottage during our visit to Austin, it is so cozy and homey :) and we walked to lots of places from there.  we will recommend it to friends and  definitely stay there again!"
1398635,19476384,2014-09-13,2908418,Autumn,"Fabulous place to stay near UT Austin and close to many other destinations around Austin.  The cottage is clean, well decorated, and full of all the little items that you find yourself needing while away from home.  The cottage is in the host's backyard but is very private.  It is also within easy walking distance to a great co-op for groceries.  Lindsey was helpful and easy to work with, making sure we had everything that we needed and responding to questions right away.  We will definitely be coming back and referring our friends.  "
1398635,19763879,2014-09-17,17909638,Emmanuelle,"C'est un endroit que je recommande !!
Nous avons passé 2 nuits, nous sommes très près de tout, super quartier, super hôte avec tout ce qu'il faut pour se faire à manger !!
Tout était parfait !! 
Thanks"
1398635,20088601,2014-09-23,1509184,Amy,"This was the second time I stayed at the cottage, I love it here! Very close to walking trails and great restaurants."
1398635,20389010,2014-09-28,21617667,Robert,"Lindsey was a fantastic host and the cottage is great. We felt very at home and will definitely be staying there next time we visit Austin. Thank you, Lindsey! "
1398635,20897120,2014-10-07,18561818,Matt,"Our stay was AMAZING! Lindsey was so sweet and welcoming, and the place was MORE than what we had expected! So cozy and so perfect for our weekend in Austin. The location couldn't have been better. Quiet neighborhood but near many great restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. So clean and so comfortable. The decor was adorable!! Definitely DEFINETLY staying here next time we visit Austin. Thanks again, Lindsey! 

XO
Marcella and Matt"
1398635,21194741,2014-10-13,16687066,Lindsay,"Lindsey was delightful, as was the cottage. The listing and pictures accurately describe the home. It had all the amenities of a actual home. Great for 2 people. "
1398635,21581858,2014-10-20,4603453,Laura,"Lyndsey was a great host.  She communicated prior to my stay and was there upon my arrival  providing pertinent info regarding the cottage. She also had lovely fresh flowers in a pretty vase on the desk- a very thoughtful, simple touch that goes a long way in guest appreciation.

The cottage itself is 'as advertised' in the listing- with everything you could want or need for a short or extended stay.  It has the decor and feel of a funky seaside cottage in Maine,  a refreshing counterpoint when you are out and about in the Austin heat.  Everything is in good working order- the a/c, shower, kitchen, etc.... perfect. 

My daughter is a student at U.T., and lives a short walk away in the West Campus area. The cottage is in a residential neighborhood far enough away from the frat houses yet walking distance to the UT campus, restaurants, parks, great food co-op, ..."
1398635,21872380,2014-10-26,1094261,Katie,This was our third time at Crow cottage. We love staying here! It's close to UT and so cozy. Great little kitchen and close walk to wheatsville  food cooperative. 
1398635,22289266,2014-11-03,15097177,Kari,We were cordially invited at the gate by Lindsey. The cottage was exactly as described and perfect for us! It was clean and cozy! Everything you could possible need was available at the cottage. The area was ethnically diverse and welcoming. We will definitely stay again!
1398635,22848341,2014-11-16,14600482,Heidi,"Lindsey was a lovely host and even emailed me before the trip to let me know that Austin's temps were forecasted to be chillier than usual during my visit.  I was happy to run into Lindsey right upon arriving at the cottage and got to say hello and meet her and her 2 dogs.  Although our paths didn't cross again for the rest of the weekend, i know she was available if  i had needed anything and was a text away to bid me goodbye and safe travels!  The cottage is exactly as pictured and even cozier than i imagined for a rainy weekend in Austin.  I immediately felt right at home and slept so well on friday and saturday nights. There is access to great running trail at the end of 31st street and although i had a car and ate out and about in the city, i know there are coffee shops and restaurants with in walking distance from her cottage.  Parking is easy and the cottage is easy to find.  Was actually a great location for me and would highly recommend for a single or couple (bed is smaller than a king though so if you are 6 ft or taller.....) and kitchen is really well appointed!  "
1398635,23061800,2014-11-22,12174916,Sam,"A great space for launching your Austin adventures. Kitchen has everything, including a blender and food processor. Easy access to the city, but also nice quite nook to relax in. She even gave us some eggs from her chicken coop."
1398635,24757060,2015-01-02,5324551,Therese,"The Crow Cottage is a lovely getaway in a great Austin neighborhood! Lindsey is an attentive host but gave us plenty of privacy.  Although we did not really make use of the kitchen, it was well-stocked with all the little things one might need. I also loved that Lindsey left a few books about Austin to give guests ideas on where to go. We will definitely keep Crow Cottage in mind for future Austin visits! "
1398635,24998067,2015-01-04,20916107,Chris,"The Crow was a cozy respite during the dismal weather at the time. Beautiful, immaculately clean cottage; great location; and a gracious host. Would definitely stay here again. "
1398635,25518214,2015-01-18,25765756,Charles,"great little cottage my daughter loved the upper loft, eventhough she didnt stay with us, has her own apt very convient to campus walking distance to great resturants quiet safe neighborhood, was perfect to vist daughter at UT"
1398635,25709240,2015-01-24,983686,Dana,"Lindsey and the Crow Cottage are both great! This was my second experience with the cottage. The first time I reserved it for my girlfriend's parents who are visiting and they really enjoyed it. This time I was back in Austin on a visit and my mom was coming to town to meet up with me for a few days. The cottage worked out perfect, I used the loft area while my mom use the bed downstairs. The cottage is super cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. Lindsay is a great host and made me feel very welcome and continued to send me messages to see if I needed anything.

If you're planning a trip to Austin and I are looking for a cozy place with a great location I would highly recommend the Crow Cottage!0"
1398635,25969573,2015-01-31,17290098,Kimia,"Lindsey was an amazing host and very accommodating to our needs. Her cottage was stunning and exactly how it looked online. It reminded us of the treehouse we never had growing up :)
The neighbourhood is very safe and close to town- only thing I would add is that if you're arriving late at night it might be hard to find as there are no street lights outside. It was our first time in Austin and we would definitely stay at Lindsey's cottage again when we return. "
1398635,27200699,2015-02-28,24978439,Mary,"My husband and I spent the month of February renting the Crow Cottage and had a wonderful time. Lindsey had a bouquet of fresh flowers awaiting our arrival and we found the cottage to be clean, comfortable and well supplied beyond our expectations, especially with kitchen and bathroom paraphernalia. Three great grocery stores were within walking distance, as was UT's campus. Good restaurants were plentiful and also close by. This was our first Airbnb experience and Lindsey was a very attentive and agreeable host. We would like to use her again if we should arrange another stay in Austin. Thank you, Lindsey, for sharing your darling cottage with us! Best wishes, Mary and George"
1398635,27713660,2015-03-10,21064129,Lynn,"This is a great ""cottage"" in a very convenient location in Central Austin.  The cottage is in a great neighborhood with a lot or character, and Lindsey is a very gracious host.  The place is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped with a full refrigerator, stove, tea and coffee, etc.  The cottage is close to restaurants, shopping, and an easy walk to the bus line that can take you to Downtown Austin.  The University of Texas campus is also an easy walk away.  The only downside of staying there was the bed--it is small (only a full-size) and the mattress is very soft.  If you like to sleep on a hard mattress (which my wife and I do), be forewarned.  Otherwise this is a really good place to stay while visiting Austin.  "
1398635,28375310,2015-03-23,16436801,Kaya,"I had the most wonderful stay at the Crow Cottage. The cottage is absolutely beautiful and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The neighborhood is gorgeous and close to a grocery store, restaurants, iconic Austin landmarks, shops, transportation, the list is endless. Lastly Lindsey was a fantastic and generous host, she made sure I had a comfortable and safe stay while in Austin during one of the busiest times in the year. I can't say more wonderful things about my stay at the Crow Cottage, but what I can say is that I can't wait to go back some day! "
1398635,28702496,2015-03-29,26392271,Omar,"I felt welcomed and cared for.  The cottaf
ge was what I expected and enjoyed the place very much."
1398635,29100323,2015-04-04,27182866,Deb,"Lindsey made us feel welcome and was available to answer questions but was very respectful of our privacy. The Crow Cottage is beautiful and looks identical to the pictures. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, but easy walking distance from several main roads and tons of places to eat."
1398635,29293735,2015-04-06,12171378,Sarah,"I couldn't recommend staying here more! Lindsey was an incredible host and the cottage is truly beautiful. The location is great and walking distance to a wonder Food Co-op where you can pick up any groceries you may need. This is one of my best Air BnB experiences, if not the best. Thanks, Lindsey! "
1398635,30029813,2015-04-16,3260057,Alex,"Here's why I love Airbnb. I get to meet people like Lindsey and her husband and stay in a place that is just as good as the photos make the  place look. It was clean, comfortable, private and in the ""Heritage District,"" a neighborhood of Austin with a co-op, restaurants, coffee and pretty close to downtown.

I use Airbnb for almost all of my travel. Lindsey is one of the best hosts I've had with one of the nicest places I've stayed.  I'll be back and hope to get to her place in Phoenicia one of these days, too. "
1398635,30882436,2015-04-28,30125555,Melinda,"Our host was so welcoming!  I invited her to show me around the cottage so that I was aware of what was available and located in the cottage.  My stay there was extremely comfortable, quiet and most definitely a place I will visit whenever I travel to Austin.  The cottage is centrally located and a perfect place to stay while in Austin.  And the décor was one of my favs about the cottage.  By the way ... that bed was extremely the best in comfort! Loved my stay at the Crow cottage.  So glad I found it!  "
1398635,31303876,2015-05-04,28230005,Kathleen,"Lindsey was a warm and welcoming host, making it known if there were any questions or concerns she was available to help. (email hidden)rfect... Value was a definite plus. I hope to return before too long and my first choice would most definitely be Crow Cottage!!!"
1398635,31675609,2015-05-08,5356166,Joseph,Wonderful time spent at the Crow Cottage in Austin! The accomodations were ideal; the host was very friendly -she even left me her bike! Great location and I left smiling!
1398635,32322560,2015-05-17,7341630,Chanda,"Lindsey was great with communication and remembered our arrival time (1am!), leaving the patio lights on and keys on the kitchen table for us. She texted to make sure we got in okay and to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is adorable and has more than everything you could need for your visit (seriously, even nail polish remover). The kitchen is well stocked with spices, herbs and oils, and all the cookware you may need. It was a very private space considering how close it was to the main house. You'd never know it was a Murphy bed - super comfortable! It's a small space but great for two, probably even three if someone's on the couch. "
1398635,32813158,2015-05-22,27922032,Brent,"When I showed up, Lindsey was immediately welcoming and even shared with me three eggs from her chickens on the property.  The property itself was even better than it looked in the pictures: convenient, clean, modern, and comfortable.  I had a great stay and look forward to next time."
1398635,33356277,2015-05-27,11246853,Margaret,"Our host was always responsive to my inquiries, provided helpful information about the area, and  accomodated our need to check in early.  The cottage was neat and clean and well-equipped for 2 persons.  The neighborhood is good for walking and grocery stores and restaurants are nearby."
1398635,33902176,2015-06-02,28003963,Bevin,"This was our first time using Airbnb, and we couldn't have been happier.  The accommodations were exactly as pictured, and the location was great!  Cozy cottage feel, but minutes from downtown Austin and super close to the University.

Lindsey was exactly what you'd hope for in a host.  Quick and friendly communication, especially for us Airbnb newbies.

Would definitely recommend to others looking to stay in the Austin area."
1398635,34311842,2015-06-07,25709910,Lesley,"The cottage was just as pictured; very cute, very well appointed, and very comfortable. In fact, the bed was so comfortable we checked to see what kind of mattress it was for future reference.

The neighborhood was great; good food and shopping nearby and just a few quick blocks to the university. It's a nice, quiet, but not isolated area. Great place to be to explore north Austin.  

Lindsey was great; her instructions and her communication were wonderful. I'd recommend the cottage to anyone and, if I ever need a place to stay in the city again, I'll be coming back myself. "
1398635,35953051,2015-06-23,32980812,Kristen,"Our first Airbnb/Austin experience went wonderfully! Lindsey has decorated the cottage to feel airy and relaxing. The beautiful garden outside makes enriches the cottage experience. It's centrally located, just minutes to artsy neighborhoods, downtown, and UT. Lots of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. Lindsey is very friendly and has great advice for local hot spots. We were not disappointed with any of her suggestions! Also, the cottage has every need you could think of -- and then some! Shampoo, Q-Tips, band aids, tea bags, etc. Be sure to flip through the guidebooks on the coffee table and her black restaurant suggestion scrapbook on the writing desk!"
1398635,36157783,2015-06-25,23283497,John,"By far our best Airbnb experience: location, amenities, interior design, and a great host to boot!  As former austinites, we came back to visit friends, and it was perfectly positioned to see everyone and everything."
1398635,36367858,2015-06-28,9931733,Ashley,"The host made me feel very welcome. She was highly communicative and made sure I was very comfortable, too! The listing was just as beautiful as the photos. It was a wonderful place to stay. "
1398635,37336853,2015-07-06,10888309,Christopher,"Lindsey is  a great communicator and very responsive, clearly very keen on being a good hostess. The Crow Cottage was exactly as advertised; the photos are accurate but don't quite capture how charming the place is.  It reminded my wife of a bright, sunny New England cottage.   The neighborhood is dead quiet, day and night, and the cottage looks out on  the  lush backyard of the parent house. Lindsey has equipped it with everything one could think of, right down to q-tips and cotton balls in the bathroom,  a garlic press and a little flashlight in the kitchen. Everything seemed fresh and new. This was our fourth Airbnb experience; all have been good but the Crow Cottage is in a class of excellence by itself."
1398635,39268495,2015-07-22,14819432,Anna,"Linsey was a wonderful host. When I arrived the cottage was prepared so wonderfully, with flowers on the windowsill and a nice welcome nice. The pictures are accurate. The location is great and very convenient- walking distance to several cafes (Spider House, Medici, Houndstooth), a local market, and some great local food places (Kolache factory, Taco deli, and Keneby lane Cafe etc). It's also is near a zip car station and a bus stop.  So it was near enough to civilization that I didn't feel isolated, but away enough that I felt as if I was ""away from it all"". Thank you Lindsey for the wonderful respite!"
1398635,39479016,2015-07-24,28358747,Eve,"Immediately thrilled with the cozy, crisp inviting accommodations. We embarked on foot to the eclectic variety of eateries and coffee shops in walking distance and spent the day at museums on the beautiful UT campus coming home to comfort, luxury and privacy. Lindsey was sweet, welcoming and gracious."
1398635,39854878,2015-07-26,37622852,Deborah,Lindsey met us with information contained in booklets she had assembled that covered restaurants and local exhibits.
1398635,43163645,2015-08-17,11373405,Dustin,"Lindsey was by far the most accommodating host my girlfriend and I have had in our experience with Airbnb.  She was very responsive and eager to accommodate our needs. The cottage was cozy and comfortable, exactly as it was described.  Overall we enjoyed our stay and hope Lindsey can host us again the next time we're in Austin."
1398635,44146250,2015-08-24,28876878,Pamela,"The cottage was fully furnished and well stocked with everything you need.  Lindsey is great to work with and answers all your questions.  She was flexible for our check in which we much appreciated after an early morning flight.  I even forgot something and she mailed my stuff promptly.  It's located near many restaurants and Wheatsville Co-op.

Great service, great stay - what more can you ask for.  Unfortunately her place is very popular and it's already booked during our next scheduled trip to Austin.  "
1398635,44667986,2015-08-28,39238412,Diana,"If you're looking for a tidy, beautiful Austin cottage with a lot of charm, Lindsay delivers. The friendly neighborhood offers much to do within walking distance...and Lindsay knows all the good spots around. 
Memorable trip, thanks to our host and her cottage. "
1398635,45448840,2015-09-02,29459533,Chantel,"Everything was perfect! Perfect location and the most lovely cottage. Lindsey is a great host, and I would recommend the cottage to anyone. I felt so at home! If only I could have stayed longer!"
1398635,45820346,2015-09-06,10058046,Angga,Enjoyed the neighborhood and the proximity to many of the Austin staples. We enjoyed the cute cottage. The cottage is bigger than expected which was a nice surprise. Overall the experience was pleasant but we did not enjoy the dogs barking. We didn't feel comfortable leaving and coming as we wanted to because of the dogs barking.  
1398635,46520252,2015-09-11,42382867,Jennifer,"The Crow Cottage (and Lindsey) is a gem in Austin's bustling university neighborhood. The cottage is extremely comfortable (and adorable), and very easy access to great restaurants, shops, etc. and the university. Lindsey was a super host and made sure I was always comfortable. Great experience!"
1398635,48526612,2015-09-27,135021,Mark,"This is the perfect, peaceful Austin hideaway for a single or couple (plus another if you want with a tight squeeze). Tucked away in the lovely backyard garden of an inner north Austin house, Crow Cottage allows you to chill near the hustle and bustle but out of the way too; and it puts you within easy distance of the best the city has to offer. You always need a car in Austin of course, and from Crow Cottage the UT campus is five minutes away, east Austin ten, downtown ten as well and South Congress just a few minutes more. Being the part of town it is, there are plenty of eateries and other stores a short walk away too (for roots music enthusiasts Antones record store is around the corner). Host Lindsey is welcoming and helpful; and she makes sure that the well appointed kitchen is ready for any breakfast, lunch or dinner preparations you want to make, and the laundry and bathroom are wonderfully set up for all your needs. The AC (essential) is quiet and effective. My wife and I are Austin regulars from Australia (we visit our daughter who lives here), so we know the town well - that means we know that Lindsey's list of recommendations for food, entertainment and relaxation are spot on. A first or second timer could follow her suggestions for a week and have a great time. Lindsey does all she can to make your stay great, but once you are settled she leaves you to yourself. If you are a dog lover (like me), there are three friendly pups to talk to and pet. If dogs are not you thing they will leave you undisturbed and safe behind the garden fence. You can't go wrong at Crow cottage."
1398635,49442949,2015-10-04,27437028,Erin,"Lindsey's cottage was a beautiful place for my boyfriend and me to rest our heads while staying in Austin.  She was prompt in responding, happy to help, and enthusiastic in sharing her space with us.  I enjoyed and appreciated the tour she gave when showing me around.  There are tour books available for referencing while staying there and a homemade book available as well to peruse.  If in Austin again, I'll surely be checking for the cottage again!  "
1398635,51650877,2015-10-22,601994,Kathy,"My husband and I had a lovely time at the Crow cottage. It was cute, clean, and convenient. We never met Lindsey, but she was a great and accommodating host. Austin is a fantastic city. We hope to find ourselves back there some day, and we'll keep our fingers crossed the Crow cottage is available then!"
1398635,51882247,2015-10-25,27948204,Vinnie,Lindsey's Crow Cottage was a gem. She was very communicative and available when needed. The location is perfect for having a quiet place to rest while being close enough to all that Austin has to offer
1398635,52689699,2015-11-01,16832513,Emily,"The cottage was great! It was nice and cozy. The bed was comfortable and perfect for after a long day. Lindsey was quick to communicate and respond to any questions. The house had several places close enough to walk, but if you plan on going downtown you will need a car. 
We recommend the cottage and the location! "
1398635,53069204,2015-11-04,1329135,Thea,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Crow cottage.  The space manages to be both cozy and light and airy.  It was a lovely quiet and calm place to call home during my stay in Austin.  I also appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, and being only two blocks from a great health food store.  Lindsay was friendly and welcoming from beginning to end.  She gave clear directions for check in and made sure I had everything I needed throughout my stay.  "
1731755,22634360,2014-11-10,23393613,Michael,Joy was great! She was super accommodating and very welcoming. We were free to use her home as our own for the 3 days we were staying there. Very cozy and comfy. Joy was awesome at offering advice on cool spots to check out in Austin. And Buster the Dog was the best... always excited to see us and welcomed us at the front door every time we returned home.
1731755,26335882,2015-02-09,23433894,Hanna,Joy was great! Her place was very clean and conveniently located!
1731755,28050450,2015-03-16,29040189,Jamie,"Joy was an absolute treat to stay with. Her house is refreshing and peaceful, her backyard a green thumbs dream! She was very kind, tipped us off on a couple of local stores for some natural snacks, and overall treated us as if we were friends for years. If the hustle and bustle of staying in the city unnerves you, her house is the perfect solution. On top of that, everything was clean and neat from start to finish and even her neighbors were as jovial and warm as Joy. "
1731755,28402586,2015-03-23,310615,Sidhartha,Joy's home was wonderful and she was a great host. I came down to Austin for SxSw. The location of her house was very close to city buses that go downtown to all the venues. Her dog Buster is so friendly! Everything in the house was squeaky clean and there was awesome organic coffee ready for you to brew. 
1731755,30512118,2015-04-23,578725,Kate,"Joy was a lovely host and it was great to stay in a house in a quiet neighborhood in Austin - I felt like I actually lived there. The pets were fun to hang out with, including the chickens and the room was as described."
1731755,33350433,2015-05-27,25681124,Beatriz,"Joy couldn't have been a better hostess. Beautiful house, great atmosphere, lovely pets and well located for my needs. I would recommend Joy to anyone."

We would stay again."
1731755,49810782,2015-10-06,43787165,Patrick,"I HAVE THREE LETTERS TO SAY, OMG!!! Not only was Joy a superb host, but her dogs ( Scout, Buster) were amazing/loving, bed was beyond comfy, beautiful home, atmosphere was to enjoyable ( pun intended), and above all we felt at home. "
1731755,50503482,2015-10-12,9172095,Emily,I enjoyed staying at Joy's place during ACL.  She had a really cute backyard with chickens! Everything was clean and cozy! Would highly recommend staying at her place.
1731755,52545018,2015-10-30,30208356,Clare,"I had a great relaxing time at Joy's place! The house is gorgeous, chickens so cute, grew very fond of the dogs Buster and Scout and Joy herself was super lovely. The bed was  dreamy- the best so far in my travels -and I've been travelling fur a lot of weeks! "
50310,114923,2010-10-09,244419,T,"Wonderful, clean, spacious studio. Sevylla was there to greet us and show us how things worked. She was personable, artsy and had great decorating style! Her place is right on the bus line, so it takes $1 and about 35 minutes to get into the downtown area, or a $20 cab ride. Totally recommend this place!"
50310,201230,2011-03-17,360392,David,Nice one room mother's-in-law style apartment/music studio.
50310,214760,2011-04-01,443037,Laura,"Sevylla studio space was bright, clean, colorful and comfortable. She was a great host and was easily available to accommodate my requests. This location is quiet with convenient parking and easy access to the freeway and all of the hot spots without being on the main drag. Stay at Sevyllas's!"
50310,219989,2011-04-07,461779,Jerod,Sevylla was an excellent host. The space was much bigger than I anticipated... Could easily fit 5 people. Private entrance and soundproof walls made it feel like a studio apartment in LA.... Full access to a washer and dryer that sits in-between the two spaces so you can do all your laundry and never disturb anyone. Sevylla and her family are super nice down2 earth people. For what she charged this place was a steal! And the few times I got to talk to the family was time well spent. Very interesting family. If I visit Austin again I would def stay with them a second time.
50310,247135,2011-05-01,490121,Vasu,"I came from NJ on a new job in Austin,  This place was of great help to me as its just 15 mins walk to office. There is also a bus stop very near this house to reach downtown , shopping etc.   Sevylla & family is friendly , nice to know them.   If it had a regular kitchen etc, i would have permanently setlled !  :)  "
50310,285352,2011-05-28,142776,Spencer,"Sevylla has a wonderful space - clean, private and centrally located.  (About a ten-minute drive to downtown.)  In addition, she's a really interesting lady who's a lot of fun to talk to!  Two enthusiastic thumbs up."
50310,301394,2011-06-06,277529,Elizabeth,Cozy and conveniently located off of 35. Sevylla is a great host!
50310,315444,2011-06-14,672315,Alicks,"My stay in Austin was just about the greatest road trip I've had. Sevylla was an incredible host, and the room was exactly as I saw it in the picture. This was my first time every using airbnb and I'll admit I was pretty nervous but she definitly made us feel comfortable. It was super clean, and comfortable. I have absolutely nothing to complain about and nothing went wrong. Everything we needed to know about the city was accessable to us. Didn't get to see you play Sevylla! But I definitly had a great time. I liked my stay so much we HAD to ask for an extra day, and of course Sevylla was okay with it. Thank you Sevylla. I think I had too much of a wonderful time ;)"
50310,328279,2011-06-22,556009,Richie,"This place was awesome my only regret was not staying longer! Sevylla is an awesome hostess with a great relaxed vibe! Her house was super cool and she was very helpful with telling us where the cool places in town were! The room was comfortable and a lot bigger than it looks in the pic! Clean, comfortable and cool! Everything a traveler could want. I definitely recommend this place to anyone passing through Austin! I'll definitely be back!"
50310,417875,2011-08-03,826167,Nicole,"Sevylla provides a fantastic home away from home.  The room has such charm and enough space to really feel like you have your own place.  The neighbourhood is lovely, super easy to get in and out of town and plenty to do locally.  Sevylla is a wonderful host, shares the little ins and out of the city, welcomes you in perfectly and has a fabulous personality and family.  I can highly recommend staying in the studio."
50310,444516,2011-08-14,892460,Kristy,We couldn't have found a better place.  We stayed a whole week and having our own studio made traveling with a child GREAT.  Sevylla is extremely helpful and we loved the artsy feel to the studio.
50310,487800,2011-08-30,344008,Elise,"charming studio with everything you need right there, bus service a block away and a gracious host--even though we mostly connected via text and phone during my 4 day visit, sevylla could not have been more helpful. I'd stay here again anytime."
50310,549315,2011-09-20,652400,Rachel,"Staying at Sevylla's was an excellent first airbnb experience! It was clean and cozy and Sevylla was a generous host. I used to live in Austin so I didn't need a lot of pointers for things to do, but I know that Sevylla was ready with lots of ideas and information if I had needed them."
50310,667283,2011-10-26,1299586,Roch,"Sevylla goes above and beyond!!   Due to a traumatic accident that left me in the hospital my reservations were changed a couple of times costing Sevylla several days of rentals..  Sevylla was concerned and accomodating, and still hosted my wife Amy.  Amy raved about both Sevylla, and the Studio.....Highly recommended!!"
50310,827796,2012-01-02,1149206,Katherine,"This was a nice, comfortable, private place to stay.  It was great having my own private bathroom.  I recommend this place to other travelers.  Sevylla was kind and welcoming.  "

The studio is nice and big, has a great vibe and is very private. Sevylla is very informative, hospitable, and super interesting to hang out with.
The bus ride into downtown is really straightforward, it leaves from across the street and runs regularly. The neighborhood is also very quiet at night, we slept really well.
Highly recommended."
50310,910934,2012-02-09,1654650,Alex,"Ah, what a fantastic little spot this is. The room is both incredibly spacious, and private, with nearly everything you could need during a stay in Austin. Whether you take the bus (literally a 4minute walk out of the door), or rent the scooter (don't doubt the jet blue), its an incredibly easy location to get around from and to. Sevylla is not only welcoming, and helpful, but an absolute pleasure to speak with as well.  I'd definitely recommend staying here, and using it as your launch pad in Austin..."
50310,980260,2012-03-07,1655853,Bridget,"Sevylla's studio is beautiful, comfortable, in a convenient location for use of public transportation, and has all of the little things one might need for an affordable vacation. I was impressed with the nice little touches that make traveling more affordable- the tiny fridge, hot plate, toaster oven, plates, utensils, can opener, hair dryer, collection of tiny soap and shampoo bottles in the bathroom, and the invitation to use her laundry room. I felt secure and safe there and the space is lovely. I would definitely stay at Sevylla's place again should I come back to Austin. "
50310,998787,2012-03-14,1525966,Andrew,We had a great time during our stay. The bus route is the best in the city. Highly recommended!!!!

50310,1104582,2012-04-10,1994206,Hilary,"This was my first time visiting Austin, and because I didn't know anyone there, I decided to check out AirBnB for the first time as well. Sevylla was such a fantastic host, and I'm so committed to choosing AirBnB over a hotel from now on!

Sevylla does a great job of describing and depicting her place here on the website--it was bright, beautiful, colorful, and very comfortable. She was super helpful with directions and suggested some great ways to get to know Austin. I rented her scooter and had a blast riding into town on it too. I appreciated staying in a neighborhood versus in the middle of bustling downtown: it was very quiet and peaceful, so I could come home in the late afternoon and relax in her really cool yard, and her neighbors are nice and welcoming as well. Whether we were hanging out together or just text messaging, our communication was smooth all week, and Sevylla was not just really easy to get along with, but also an inspiring person to learn from.

I highly recommend staying with Sevylla, and I can't wait to visit again myself!!"
50310,1221389,2012-05-03,1924493,Pat,My friends and I had a great time staying at Sevylla's studio! She was a very hospitable person and easy to talk to and get along with. It was super easy getting around town especially since the bus stop is literally a one minute walk from the studio. There are also close convenient stores and a grocery store in walking distance. We definitely would like to stay here when we come back to Austin next year! : )
50310,1262505,2012-05-11,2065674,Angelica,"Sevylla was an amazing host!  She  was attentive, lively, and inviting.. Her house is gorgeous and the room had all the comforts of home.  I will definitely be visiting again :-)!!"

50310,1353972,2012-05-26,2121593,Elisa,"Sevylla did a marvelous job of converting her garage into a separate living space. The décor is very cool, artsy and tribal; it definitely feels comfortable and “very Austin”.  It looks much bigger than the pictures too. 
All of the necessary creature comforts are included – stainless steel mini-fridge, toaster oven, hot plate, small coffee maker, basic cooking tools, hair dryer, assortment of toiletries, Wi-Fi, radio/CD player etc. The futon is very comfortable as well.
This place is a breeze to find and parking is available right in front of your private, stained glass entrance. 
Sevylla is an excellent host – very friendly and helpful – providing info on locally-owned businesses, bus routes and points of interest.
I would not hesitate to return or to recommend this place to others!

50310,1365919,2012-05-28,2361908,Kathy,My husband and I truly enjoyed our weekend adventure with Seyvlla. The location was perfect and our host assured we had all that was needed.
50310,1416367,2012-06-04,2392161,James,"Sevylla is a great host!  Her studio is prettty coool and located in a good location near the freeway.  It takes no time at all to get into downtown Austin.  The private entrance is a nice touch, because we stayed out a bit late when we were in town, so it wasn't a problem! "
50310,1561691,2012-06-25,2653995,Traci,"This was my first time using airbnb.. and it was a WONDERFUL experience!! Sevylla really made it a nice home away from home atmosphere. Provided all the information we would need for our stay, like what bus to take, and which one to get back..recommended some really cool places as well. It was nice to come and go as we pleased... best part was I didn't feel rushed to go the next morning. (what I hate most about hotels)."
50310,1701066,2012-07-13,786142,Carter,"Had to make an arrangment nearly the day before in Austin.  Sevylla made the process very easy. Once I arrived at the place, it was exactly what I needed, someplace quiet, unique and convenient.  Sevylla was an excellent communicative hostess, even taking time to introduce herself and inviting me for wine and sparkling conversation.  Overall it was a restful experience, very much appreciated for this hectic travel period I am in currently.  Thanks again."
50310,1723725,2012-07-16,2754357,Janelle,Sevylla made sure we had everything we needed for our 2 nights in Austin.  Her place was really close to south congress where there is so much good food and cute shops.  I am sad we didn't get to meet Sevylla because of our schedules.  She was great through text and airbnb communications.  Overall a great place to stay!
50310,1839910,2012-07-30,8241,Galen,"Cool studio, cool hostess and a cool neighborhood. You'll get a feel for Austin living that you can't get from a hotel. I'd stay here again. The studio is close to Hwy35 for easy navigation around town. "
50310,1872030,2012-08-02,2968769,Cara,"Lovely hostess, and a beautiful room. If I can find somewhere like this to stay every time I travel, I will say goodbye to hotels for good. My trip was so much better (and cheaper!) thanks to Sevylla...we even sat and had a cup of coffee together in her funky, mosaic-ed, well put together yard after my friend and I had locked ourselves out of the studio. The hospitality was much appreciated, thank you Sevylla :)"
50310,1907602,2012-08-06,473682,Jenn,"Sevylla's studio is a really special place. The instant I walked through the door, I felt the positive vibes and peacefulness. We brought our nephews with us and Sevylla showed them how to play some of the African drums and other instruments. I recommend staying in the studio. It is clean and comfy and there are cute chickens in the backyard and her outside cat is very friendly. "
50310,2105069,2012-08-26,407361,Mike,"Sevylla's place was awesome! Very cozy and private. She had it well stocked with a fridge, dishes etc and made every effort to make my stay enjoyable. For future stays in Austin, I will definitely keep this one at the top of my list :-)"

50310,2186689,2012-09-03,3400456,Hampton,"I cannot say enough about our pleasant stay with Sevylla.  We arrived around 10:00pm, and Sevylla and her daughter greated us and welcomed us in to their home.  

Our accomodations were perfect.  The room was very clean and spacious.  My son, along with my friend and his son, had more than enough room, and slept rather comfortably.  

Her place is located near Stassney & I-35, with easy access to downtown and the eastside.  If you are looking for a great value, in a more unique and comforting alternative to chain hotels that easily cost twice as much, look no further.  

Thanks Sevylla!  We'll be back for sure."
50310,2264179,2012-09-11,3236267,Stefano,"Sevylla was an amazing host! the room was big and quite comfy, the house is not to far from downtown, easy to get through a bus, a good budget option to visit Austin. Thanks for everything Sevylla!

There was like a mini kitchenette in the studio, so we that was pretty helpful (you could make some tea, some eggs, there is a fridge for milk etc). There is a bus right outside her house that comes about every 20-30 mins and goes downtown, so it was relatively easy to go around, it just took about 40 mins. She has a little booklet prepared for her guests with some basic explanation about transport, things to see etc, so that was really helpful to us. Only thing was that bathroom door didn't fully close but if you are staying with someone close, that shouldn't be a problem ;) "
50310,3132059,2012-12-21,318192,Dana,"Sevylla is wonderful! She is a very funny, personable and insightful woman. Carter and I felt very comfortable and welcomed. We look forward to staying there again on our next trip to Austin. I'm hoping they'll be a jam session ;)"

50310,3613528,2013-02-26,4443561,Stephanie,"Room exactly as described: quaint, eclectic and very clean. Excellent residential location for me with a short drive to the downtown convention center. I saved money on lodging as well as meals because I was able to cook and keep food in the room. Plenty of space for me to spread out my gear, and would have been equally comfortable had my husband been able to join me. Sevylla was a gracious hostess and I am very glad I chose to stay with her rather than at an expensive hotel near the convention center. Great experience. Thanks, Sevylla."

We couldn't have picked a better place to stay, extremely comfortable; with easy access to the bus lines and everything we needed. She even wrote a great little pamphlet with suggestions about Austin’s music scene, night life, parks, restaurants and public transportation. We all had a wonderful weekend; I hope to stay here again if I ever make it back to Texas! The space is beautiful and open too, the yard is lovely as well! Thanks for making us feel at home."

50310,6665889,2013-08-20,7516746,Julian,"There's not much Sevylla doesn't know about Austin or the music scene here - she really is the best intro you could have to the city, particularly if you're a musician.  I stayed here for a week, and for once, couldn't have picked a better place to stay.  I don't drive, so had to rely on the buses - not a problem here as they pick up and drop off within a few doors of the studio.  I was in town or back home within a half hour, and the 24hr $2 fare was cheap enough to do a few cross-town routes in-between.  The neighborhood was friendly, and the store close enough to stock up on beer, wine and whatever I needed before heading out into town (generally beer and wine, so I was good).  The room was everything you see here - clean, private, quiet and cool enough to deal with the Texas heat.  You can come and go as you please, and Sevylla is only a text away from any advice you might need for whatever you want to get out of your stay in Austin.  I'll certainly be staying here again in future, and advise that you book it post-haste if you see a gap in the calendar - I promise you'll not regret it.  A word has to be said about Sevylla herself, who was such a warm, generous and fun person to meet - a true ambassador for both Austin and Airbnb. If every Airbnb host was of this calibre, we'd all be putting hotels out of business.  This is where travel gets way more interesting - meeting local folk who love their town and want to show you the best of it.  Sevylla knows Austin inside out - loves it - and knows far more than the Holiday Inn or the Hilton about how to enjoy the place.  This is what Airbnb is about, people - have a good trip x "
50310,6784197,2013-08-25,197273,Precious,"My partner and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying with Sevylla in Austin. The place was just as described - easy to find and incredibly clean. It was a perfect place to lay our heads for the two nights we were in town before heading to a wedding. On top of the great digs, Sevylla is great company. She is incredibly warm and inviting, told us some hot spots to check out and was great with sharing her home and interests with us. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else if we were to visit Austin again. Only 1 tiny drawback was that the internet was a bit spotty. When it worked it was super fast, but there were one or two random times when the network just wasn't connecting. Other than that, the stay was picture perfect and we are happy to have made friends with Sevylla and her family!"
50310,6987968,2013-09-02,7559467,Vijay,"I stayed at the studio for eight nights while on a trip to Austin and loved it! The studio itself was a great space, very clean and the location was perfect for getting into Downtown easily. Sevylla was a fantastic host and her knowledge of the places to check out was great. Sevylla and her place are definitely helped make a perfect Austin trip. Thanks Sevylla!"
50310,7651603,2013-09-28,6727266,Karissa,"It was a great place! I really enjoyed the space and sevylla is responsive and makes you feel at home. There isn't a kitchen available but she accommodates you well, regardless."
50310,7776254,2013-10-02,6930684,Anna,"The stay was great! Sevylla was very accomodating and gave us reccommendations for places to visit in the city. She knows Austin welll, and it shows! "
50310,7913914,2013-10-08,7008418,Amanda,Really great place and perfect for my stay. I would stay again. 
50310,8133557,2013-10-17,8551773,Gina,The studio was nice but pretty far from downtown. The bus ride was about a half hour. 
50310,8259764,2013-10-22,9055133,Steve,Sevylla was a wonderful host! The location was great and for three of us sharing the same room there was plenty of space. Would definitely stay again if I go back to Austin. 
50310,8407621,2013-10-29,8849886,Mo,"This was my first Airbnb stay.
I met Sevylla briefly the night I arrived. I was happy she was home to let me in as the cleaning service had locked the door and I arrived at midnight. She is a very sweet person and happy to host. She responded right away when I told her I could not log onto the internet and she was helpful in recommending some yoga studios a bus ride away.
Her studio is spacious and I was able to sleep well enough on the firm futon.
I was in town for a wedding and I am sure Sevylla would have provided clothes hangers for my dress had I made the request, but I was able to drape the dress over the chair by the desk. I used the desk to pile my clothes on top and the other chair to drape other clothes on. 
The rooster's crowing was tuned-out with the AC/Fan when I needed to sleep, but I enjoyed hearing them otherwise. This is right on the bus route and that was convenient. It took 30 minutes, once the bus arrived, to get to downtown. The bus stops right in front of the house upon return. There was a bus schedule in the desk drawer.  
The taxi picked me up at 4:45am for my return flight and my cell phone ""alarm clock"" functioned well to wake me so I'd be ready. 
"
50310,8564424,2013-11-05,8366545,Karen,"Sevylla is a super host with a fun, clean, super hip music studio that doubles as a large living/sleeping space. I thoroughly enjoyed Sevylla's eclectic studio and its location near McKinney Falls State Park. Her kitchenette was perfect for my needs as I ate in most days. Sevylla was very helpful in working out a small hiccup upon arrival, and I would have enjoyed spending more time with her if I weren't so busy during my stay. Her stained glass doors were a marvel and artistic touches throughout the studio were very cool, too!"
50310,8688812,2013-11-12,8984051,Tricia & Zach,"Sevylla was a very nice host.  Her private room was adequate and clean.  The fridge was not working (a thermostat issue she was getting dealt with), but she gave us a cooler to keep some things in.  The wi-fi was spotty the first day, but then worked great anytime we were at the house.  The location is quite a ways from downtown or South Congress area, but riding the bus was cheap and easy.  Thanks for your hospitality!"
50310,8778272,2013-11-18,5694211,Thomas,"Ms. Sevylla was a courteous host during our stay. She didn't hesitate to answer any questions and the room was excellent. The bus route passes right in front of her house (pick up on the corner and drops off a door down if head to downtown). Be sure to pay attention to the night owl bus route, because one route will end 2 miles before your drop off point. Just be sure to ask your driver if it goes by E Stassney! The bus ride to down town is about 20min during traffic hours but otherwise is fairly quick. When I return to Austin I would definitely try and book again!"
50310,9400008,2013-12-26,3376528,Moritz,"We booked this wonderful room on the day we moved in (24th of December). Sevylla immediately responded to my request and accepted the booking even though she wasn't home for the holidays. She called to give me the instructions how to enter the room – it all worked out perfectly. We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful accommodation. I highly recommend it and would definitely come back! Thank you so much, Sevylla.  "
50310,9843104,2014-01-13,2021056,Blue,"Sevylla is such a gracious host. The studio was easy to find, spacious and private. I had a very odd schedule that didn't give me much time to hang out and Sevylla made my trip much more relaxing. If you're flying into Austin her place is also very easy and quick to get to and from the airport. "
50310,9980210,2014-01-22,2702197,Shane,"The studio was wonderful! Comfortable bed and having a fridge was a bonus. Such a cozy environment and Sevylla was very accommodating and so nice! The place is a short ride or drive to South Congress where everyone likes to go.

I highly recommend staying here!"
50310,10916962,2014-03-13,3423645,Adam,"Sevylla's place is excellent! It's spacious, comfortable, and quiet. Being convenient to the bus route meant I could get to SxSw each day without having to drive into town and pay exorbitant parking fees  – a huge plus.

There are extras, too. Sevylla leaves some delicious herbal teas for your enjoyment. You'll also find a mini-fridge, an electric tea kettle (is that what you call them?), and a hot plate for simple cooking. All very nice. I'd definitely stay here again."
50310,11004781,2014-03-17,11527203,Christopher,"Great location, close to airport, quick drive to downtown.  Everything you need for a good time in Austin.    "
50310,13273760,2014-05-24,676495,Meredith,"I had a wonderful stay here! I booked the studio space, but actually got to stay in the entire home (Sevylla's other listing). The home was very clean, with plenty of towels, soaps, blankets, etc. There are great artistic details everywhere you look in the home! I stayed for the whole month and Sevylla was really good about messaging me throughout to make sure everything was going well and that I didn't need anything. The location is really convenient to downtown- under 15 mins.  I enjoyed this home and the city immensely. "
50310,14782538,2014-06-26,12930266,Vic,"South Austin hippie hideaway was as expected!
The room was clean and spacious. Although my host was out of town she made sure I was well taken care of through her neighbor.
I look forward to my next visit and definitely would recommend this south Austin hippie hide away."
50310,15491181,2014-07-10,14554568,Zasha,"My host was away while I was on her studio but the people left in charge were very helpful.  The place was clean, nice, close to everything and comfortable. Would definitely recommend it."
50310,15835629,2014-07-16,2748715,Laura,"Quaint little place in a pretty quiet neighborhood. We didn't meet Sevylla as she was traveling abroad when we visited, but she was extremely helpful and communicative through email and gave us a variety of people to contact should we have any issue. Everything was exactly as she said. It was nice to be in this cozy space instead of a hotel!"
50310,16387901,2014-07-27,272334,Rudi,"Sadly while we were visiting we did not get to connect with Sevylla. However, the other family in the main house were more than helpful when we needed things on our first night. I absolutely loved the neighbourhood, all of the neighbours were friendly and said hello as we went by. The local food mart was great and had everything we needed. We didn't really cook in the studio as there was only the hot plate and the toaster oven, but chose to eat out or eat cold things like chips and salsa or sandwiches. 

The studio was great for our needs - we spent most of our time in Austin so used it to cool down and relax late evening and then just slept. The wifi was helpful to plan our days, and there were some maps etc that we borrowed. We used both the bed and the air mattress (which was awesome). The A/C was a god send in the weather, as was the kettle and tea and coffee that was left.

The bus is literally just at the end of the block and runs every 20 minutes from early in the morning til late at night. on the way back it stops just two houses down. It couldnt be more convenient and for just $2 a day you can get around all of Austin (and I mean all). We would go places well over an hour away from downtown and it was still included. You can get anywhere on the buses so a car is definitely not needed.

This place is great, and Austin is even better. I would definitely book again if I was to visit Austin in the future."
50310,16722745,2014-08-01,3343667,Nicole,"I had a great experience staying at Sevylla's studio! She was responsive and helpful whenever necessary during my 6 day stay. The location is great, it's within a 15 min drive to downtown or 30 min ride via the bus which stops across the street from the studio. I highly recommend staying here!"
50310,17164936,2014-08-08,18005205,Erika,"We had a great stay. The studio was exactly as described, if not better - comfy beds, plenty of linens, supplies for light cookery and coffee making, etc. It was homier and comfier than a hotel. Sevylla was warm and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was easy to find and very convenient - a short drive from South Congress and Zilker Park, and not far from downtown Austin. We would definitely stay here again!"
50310,17413151,2014-08-11,19438061,Erik,I would have to say my experience was great. My son and I stayed a couple of nights and honestly was not expecting too much but was happy when we checked in. I had a chance to meet Sevylla briefly and seemed like a very cool lady. Even though she had just arrived from a hectic schedule she was helpful with our check in and let us know that if anything was needed just let her know. The location was great for us because it was a short drive out to the lake where we were traveling to during the weekend and dont believe you will find a better deal with such a good experience. I hate to say anything negative because for me it was perfect but if you are a larger person the size of the bathroom and shower could be a little uncomfortable. Again loved the place and would definitely stay again if Sevylla would have me!
50310,17632931,2014-08-15,585271,Leticia,"Sevylla was amazing and her hip studio was perfection. The neighborhood had a breeze of calmness yet neatly located by a bus stop which made my adventures in the city pocket friendly. A noteworthy observation about Sevylla is that she was attentive, humorous, and radiant with good energy. It wasn't only the location that made my stay amazing but the interaction with her family was the icing on the cake. 

In addition, I truly appreciated the precision in which her manual was written because it was on point with: things to do in the city, where keys can be located, bus routes, laundry soap, etc. Overall, my stay was flawless.
Thank you once again and would definitely come back.    "
50310,18722550,2014-08-31,991246,Alice,"Sevylla was a gracious host and made sure I had everything I needed during my two-week stay. Her adorable (and affordable) studio was exactly what I was looking for! It gave me ample space to store my belongings while searching for an apartment to move into. The studio provides everything one needs for day-to-day living, even a washer and dryer! The location of Sevylla's house was also on a direct bus route to UT Austin, which I found extremely helpful. "
50310,19151701,2014-09-07,12826141,Emma,"Sevylla's studio was fantastic, it had everything we needed for the week, having access to the internet was a blessing, there was a bus stop right out front that took us right to the city hassle free, only $2 for a 24 hour ticket! there is also a fantastic food truck round the corner that almost became a bit of a habit!!!

Sevylla was an absolute delight, she was extremely helpful with info on all the cool things to do about town and above all was just a lovely person to chill and talk with. We wish we could have stayed for longer."
50310,19641460,2014-09-15,1991877,Lemuel,"Sevylla was very welcoming and explained how everything worked and pointed to various sights in the neighborhood and town.  The place is very spacious, comfortable, and well decorated.  There's also a lovely shaded backyard.  The AC unit was a bit loud for my taste but I'm not used to having one in my room."
50310,21192877,2014-10-13,7103075,Hailey,Fantastic place! Self contained own entrance etc - lovely host! Def recommend!
50310,21615774,2014-10-20,22028305,Kat,"Staying here was a great idea! The space worked well for me, and was convenient to the airport and hotels where other family members were staying. I'm so glad I decided to give AirBnB a try. Thanks Sevylla!"
50310,21749256,2014-10-23,7498283,Gaby,"Well Sevylla certainly doesn't need another great review with her legion of fans but here's another!  The place is gorgeous -  comfortable, really spacious, and decorated with love and creativity. Both the room and Sevylla are warm and welcoming and you couldn't find a better place to stay in Austin! It feels like your own funky apartment with a fantastic neighbour!."
50310,21878069,2014-10-26,17827240,David,"Lovely place! You could really feel how much thought the host has put into making you feel at home and comfortable from the moment you arrive. The room is pretty much a separate studio apartment with it's own entrance. It's in a residential neighborhood and there isn't really anything in walking distance, but within a 5-10 minute drive you'll find a lot of nice restaurants."
50310,22306346,2014-11-03,21770326,Adam,"Sevylla was awesome! She greeted us when we arrived and gave us a full tour of the space as well as the neighborhood. The neighborhood was family friendly and just minutes via cab or bus to Soco, south austin or downtown. We had a blast and Sevilla gave us tons of great tips on places to go and things to do. The space was comfortable, the bed was good and the water was hot. Plus, she had us hooked up with WiFi and a private parking spot! Thanks for a great stay."
50310,22582320,2014-11-10,11904980,Nicole,Sevylla's studio was perfect for my boyfriend and I during our stay in Austin. The bus was conveniently located right across the street which made getting around the city super easy. Sevylla was very friendly and sweet and made us feel right at home. She made it known that she would accommodate us if we needed anything. Definitely would stay again!
50310,23059520,2014-11-22,2886219,Sheena,"Sevylla's studio had everything we needed for our 7-night stay. Lots of room, fast internet, private bathroom. She had lots of ideas for things to do, too! Would definitely recommend her place. "
50310,23249046,2014-11-26,10138238,Nathan,"Sevylla greeted us when we got there, but that's really all we saw of her.  Which was ok with us, as we have been to Austin before.  
The outside is very unique and has a funky feel to it, that's what we wanted.  Unfortunately there is a loud Mustang that parks next door and although the room is nearly soundproof, it doesn't block out that noise.  We heard the vroom vroom every morning when they started the car up.  It was only for a few minutes each morning, not too bad.
The interior had everything that we (a couple) needed.  The room is has plenty space to move around in.  The bathroom is kinda tight, but still useful though.  We would have appreciated a couch in the room.
The location is good.  It's close enough to drive to where you need to go.  Easy access to major freeways.  Not much is is walking distance, at least what we saw.
We were happy with our stay and our host.  
Thanks!!"
50310,23531255,2014-12-03,23661114,Maria,"We stayed in Sevylla's place for 2 days in Austin and it was perfect for us. The place was clean and tidy and there was a great relaxed ambiance with the incense and bongo drum surroundings! We were so busy enjoying Austin that we didn't manage to meet Sevylla but she was really attentive and available via text so I felt that if we had any problems they would have been sorted pretty quick. The area is suburban and felt safe and quiet, we travelled into the city by bus and it was simple and convenient. I would definitely recommend this place as a relaxing base to explore all the fun stuff Austin has to offer!"
50310,23655468,2014-12-07,11346973,Chris,Sevylla was a pleasure to interact with and set me up perfectly for success. Wandering off the plane after a super long day of travel I was able to navigate into town and be crashing comfortably in her lovely space very soon after. Great stay.
50310,24925911,2015-01-04,21504036,Jessica,Sevylla was a great hostess. The room was very clean and extremely private (definitely more private than a thin-walled cheap motel room). Sevylla provided great resources on things to do in Austin and was responsive to any (reasonable) requests. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay again if I return to Austin. 
50310,25086152,2015-01-06,391498,Patrick,"My fiancée and I just moved to Austin and we used this place as a landing spot while we found our own place here in town.

This place was exactly what we needed. It was welcoming, spacious, comfortable & inexpensive. It's in a mellow neighborhood & everything we needed was nearby. Sevylla was great about the communication while setting up our reservation, since I was crazy planning so many other factors about our interstate move.

We arrived two days before Christmas, so we were surely feeling a little isolated from our families a few states away. Sevylla invited us right into her home Christmas morning, & we met her family & spent the afternoon talking & getting to know each other. The hospitality really made the place feel like home for the week or so we were there. Sevylla really helped our move go smoothly. Very glad we chose this listing!"
50310,25300980,2015-01-11,25758051,Charlie,"Sevylla has prompt response and great communication. The studio is relaxed and perfect for any traveler. The neighborhood is quite so you can rest well, yet close to the city. I had the chance to chat a bit with her and she is just a vibrant kind person. 

"
50310,25448726,2015-01-16,25665609,Mike,This Super Hip private room is just like advertised.  It has everything you will need to spend a week or 3 weeks including laundry.  I stayed for 1 week and was very comfortable.  My flight into Austin was delayed several hours so our plan to meet the first night was messed up BUT this apartment is so well thought out and well managed it was not an issue.  The room was ready for me when I arrived at midnight.  See you next time Sevylla!
50310,25575867,2015-01-19,947898,Diana,"We really liked staying in Sevylla's studio--she's very welcoming, the space was large, and its on a quiet street, and has its own private entrance. We were close to our relatives in south Austin, but also reasonably close to the center of town where we went to enjoy an evening of jazz. "
50310,26492235,2015-02-14,26444412,Wayne,"Had a great experience in Sevylla's studio. Cozy and quiet. Went there to finish writing paper before a few nights out in Austin. Was perfect for this purpose. It's a touch out of town, but cabs via uber were only $8 to soco, while the bus also went from right outside. Would stay again when in town."
50310,26686581,2015-02-17,25994980,Margaret,"Our stay was exactly what we had hoped for! Her space was inviting and homey, her accommodations were thoughtful and her friendliness made us feel right at home. We will absolutely be returning to stay here anytime we visit Austin! Central location, quiet and unique."
50310,26911455,2015-02-22,13720846,Melissa,This was such a great experience! This was my first airbnb booking and I was so glad it turned out the way it did. The room is exactly what is listed. The room is very spacious and clean. Seveylla is such a personable and passionate individual. She responds to text messages in a timely fashion which I appreciate. The room is connected to the house and you have lots of privacy. Thank you for making my first time in Austin such a fun and comfortable experience! 
50310,27286145,2015-03-01,14987385,Joel,"Sevylla was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect for me and to please let her know if I needed anything. I did have a car and that was helpful to get into town so did not use the bus system which was close by. 
There is shopping close by and places to eat but would be a bit to far to walk from what I experienced so better to have a car.
She is a great musician and I was lucky enough to hear her and the group she plays  with perform. It was a fun experience to stay in the  studio."
50310,27714850,2015-03-10,1670594,Louis,"We had a great time at this place. The room was very big, clean and calm. Sevylla was quite welcoming; always ready to give advice and making sure we had everything we needed.  We had a car and parking was right in front of the door and the room is located 7 minutes from downtown. Highly recommended and great value."
50310,28066713,2015-03-17,18348297,Christine,"It was great time in Austin in Sevillas studion. It was very nice, clean, with a private bathroom in a nice neighbourhood. We really loved it. The bus stops right in very short distance from the house so we saved money for parking or taxi.
Unfortunately we could not meet Sevilla because we were on sxsw all days long.
Thank you very much.
"
50310,28375634,2015-03-23,21082014,Jess,"We loved staying at this studio!  It was cozy, clean and quiet.  The perfect escape from sxsw craziness.  My partner and i loved it.  We would catch the bus up the street to downtown, see a million bands and retreat to our awesome studio.  Also, Sevylla is really cool to talk to and knew a lot about Austin.  She was more than accommodating and we would definitely stay there again. "
50310,28788994,2015-03-30,27066398,Laurent,"Minutes from all the action, in a quiet neighborhood, Sevylla's cute and cozy studio was the perfect spot for me to refresh and relax during a hectic music festival in Austin. Both thumbs up!
"
50310,29173973,2015-04-05,11555736,Ineka,"Sevylla was a great host. The room is spacious and the room has all you need. She has a lot of extras that made it easy for our Stay. My boyfriend and I slept fine but if you're a light sleeper it may be difficult. The neighbors have roosters, there's a bus stop next door so you can hear the bus at times, and the neighbors were a little loud with their music. We rode the bus the entire time so having the bus come through the neighborhood was very convienent. The bed was very firm but we slept fine, there were extra blankets supplied. The shower head was very low pressure but other than that the stay was great. Sevylla was informative and she made us feel comfortable. She was always available if we needed anything. I really enjoyed our stay. "
50310,30049674,2015-04-16,18115667,Tim,"The studio exceeded my expectations. The room is basic but clean, spacious, trendy, and has all of the amenities that one could need during overnight travel. Sevylla was very nice and accommodating with my late arrival and early morning departure. I highly recommend her for anyone visiting the Austin area."
50310,30914368,2015-04-28,31728404,Jake,"Great room, great location. Syvella was a fantastic host. Would definitely stay here again if was coming back to Austin. Upon arrival Syvella had left a leaflet with tips about the area, public transport and things to do in Austin and when we met her the next day, she had freshly made coffee - what more can you ask for! "
50310,31333680,2015-05-04,28937671,Linda,The space is great and fun. Close to the freeway but in a neighborhood so you don't feel like you are visiting; just living there. Seyvlla is very outgoing and friendly; glad we got to meet her. Only tiny issue is that the bathroom is a bit cramped. But everything else is as advertised. We kept strange hours because we were visiting our daughter who works 3rd shift; this studio worked out wonderfully for us!
50310,32102112,2015-05-14,25661299,Nick,"Staying in Sevylla's studio apt. was a great experience.  It was clean, comfortable, and I had everything I needed.  The location is convenient to the bus route, so it was really easy to get around.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet Sevylla because I was at a music festival and out exploring Austin most of the time.  She was always only a quick call or text away, and she was super helpful.  Excellent experience! "
50310,34550045,2015-06-09,29443129,Jim,"The host was very helpful and the room was as it appeared in the photos. You will need some way to get around as it is 1+ miles to restaurants, etc. Sevylla was very helpful though with the bus routes and the notes that she has laid out for guests. There is a nice state park nearby (Whitaker Falls). Also, it is very nice that there is a washer and dryer for guests to use. In addition, you have your own control of the A/C unit whose fan nicely muffles outdoor sounds. I slept well every night here."
50310,35109785,2015-06-15,26973027,Megan,"We had a great time! The studio was just as it was described. Perfect if you're just looking for somewhere to sleep and shower! She was very nice and welcoming, I would stay here again."
50310,36111365,2015-06-25,15736313,Kathy,Sevylla was a great host and it was a cool little place. We had everything we needed and it felt like a true home away from home. The private entrance was very convenient for doing the late night Austin scene.
50310,38395235,2015-07-15,17312932,Jennifer,"Sevylla is such a lovely host!  The room was exactly as described and showcased her personality; warm, endearing and funky!  Having never been to Austin in the past, it was great to have a host who could tell me what was good and what to stay away from.  The location is 10 minutes from the airport, right on a busline in a very suburban feeling neighborhood (complete with chickens and a giant shade tree next door) and completely accessible to downtown.  There is also lots of hiking trails and fantastic natural swimming holes 5 miles away at McKinney Falls.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself and know exactly where I will stay if I get the chance to make it back to Austin!  "
50310,39622175,2015-07-25,16373250,Andriy,"We stayed at Sevylla's studio for seven days and had an enjoyable stay. The studio had a comfy bed, fast wifi and a small fridge. Because we stayed in July, one of the hottest months in Texas, the room was getting a little warm during the day, even though the AC was working at full speed. At night this was not an issue and it was very cool and comfy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would visit again. It is a great value for the price we paid."
50310,40278065,2015-07-29,38916030,KaraJeff,"My son and I had a wonderful experience in Sevylla's home.  The space is exactly as advertised.  A VERY spacious room with a futon bed, bathroom, laundry room, desk, mini fridge, and hot plates/water boiler.  I let my son stay on the futon bed and I slept on the extra self-inflatable air mattress.  Both were comfortable.

I got to chat with Sevylla when I first arrived and we are both musicians!  She and her daughter even came to the musical I was playing that night.  It was a very cool coincidence.

This location was very convenient for us.  Did not take long to get to the Zilker/Long Center area.

Thank you for the great stay Sevylla!"
50310,44283542,2015-08-25,9527338,Matthew,I have spent 4 1/2 months in this room on various visits to Austin and am nothing but pleased. You may not get to know Sevylla the way that I have but it is the closest thing I have to a home in everyway and am already trying to book a period for next year.
50310,44760703,2015-08-29,31327473,Emily,"Our stay at Sevylla's studio was absolutely wonderful! We flew into Austin late and night and she made it super easy for us to check in. She had also left a personally written booklet on what's good to see, do and eat in Austin which we used every day. The room itself was spacious, clean and comfortable and we would stay again for sure if we ever come back to Austin. "
50310,45677970,2015-09-05,27810063,Syreeta,This was an amazing home away from home. Our stay was very comfortable and welcoming. Sevylla was super helpful and just a phone call/ text away.  It was such a nice experience and we will definitaly stay again next time we visit Texas!!!!
50310,46146193,2015-09-08,18096084,Nick,Sevylla's place is nice and cozy as described. The house is only located about 5 minutes from downtown and easy to get to places. I would recommend this place to anyone who's visiting Austin. 
50310,46864799,2015-09-14,31077854,Mark,"Great spacious room. Towels and bathroom stuff provided along with coffee and a kettle, which was useful. Bed was comfortable. It's quite a distance from the centre of town, but the bus stops right outside the door. Sevylla was very nice and and gave us some tips on getting around town. We had a great stay."
50310,47621786,2015-09-21,32769654,Reed,Fantastic place to stay if you're going to COTA and a short drive to downtown or the heart of SoCo. It was 95+ degrees with 90 some percent humidity in Austin during my stay so the shower and AC were priceless. I also really liked the off street parking but that's partly because I don't have that where I live. Sevylla was very accommodating of my late arrival and repeatedly asked me to let her know if there was anything I needed. Everything was clean and comfortable. If I go the Lone Star Le Mans next year I'll be booking with her again for sure!
50310,49787651,2015-10-06,3390456,Eric,"Sevylla was a great hostess. She kept in touch and made sure we had everything we needed. The space was large enough for all four of us and super convenient to all of the places we needed to go, plus it gives of an authentic ""Austin vibe"" that will make feel like you are getting a true Austin experience."
50310,51155238,2015-10-18,3397726,Rodrigo,"The studio is very nice, neighborhood seemed very calm (the little time I was actually there). Sevylla provides pamphlets for everything you need to know about the city. The bus stops pretty much at the front door or you can take a, not very expensive, Uber/lyft ride into downtown Austin."
705858,2827429,2012-11-07,1432482,Heather,"Truly a perfect weekend. I loved this place. It is a few blocks from South Congress and walking distance to downtown. The decor is gorgeous. Very comfortable bed, bathroom stocked with great towels and robes, the kitchen full of all kinds of goodies from Nespresso maker to tea kettle. There is a very peaceful outside area for reading or drinking coffee in the morning. The hosts were very nice and very quick to respond. This is the best air bnb I have stayed in yet. Thanks Bil! Can't wait to come back."
705858,3345889,2013-01-14,3279771,Nicole,"Bill's place is wonderful!  You can tell that he and his wife enjoy hosting because they've paid attention to every detail.  They knew I was in town for my birthday and had a balloon on the door when I arrived.  Upon entering the apt. you're greeted by the smell of a freshly cleaned home and quirky sculpture showing you the way upstairs. At the top, the place is simply and tastefully decorated.  Everything is top of the line.  They've maximized the space with a seating area where you can enjoy the magazines and many books about Austin and the area that they've left to share.  There's a kitchen space with coffee and all the fixings and they even stock the fridge with some surprise goodies.  The bed and linens are very comfortable and at night you get a view of the congress building downtown.  The bathroom, while small, had everything: nice bathrobes, body wash, shampoo & conditioner and very nice towels.  In fact, even my husband commented that if might be time for nicer towels at home!  It's pretty cute, they even leave a toothbrush and razor in case you've forgotten yours.  The proximity to South Congress is perfect.  Close enough to walk to everything but far enough to get a quiet night of sleep.  Privacy was no issue.  I think I saw the homeowners come and go a couple of times but I never met them.  However with the handwritten note and fresh flowers they leave, I felt very welcomed.  It would be a pleasure to visit Bill's place again. "
705858,3651538,2013-02-28,3852008,Thomas,"Amenities far exceeded our expectation.  Beautiful decor and accoutrements, appreciated the quality of glassware, dishes and flatware, linens too.    Appreciated guide books and magazines.   Extra touches like fresh flowers and complementary beverages made it even nicer.  Hosts love their city and want to be sure their guests do too."
705858,4369085,2013-04-30,2006645,Jamie Lauren,"Bill's place was gorgeous! The ""Hideaway"" was very clean and well designed. I appreciated the guide books, coffee machine, and fluffy towels. The bed was so comfortable, I didn't want to get out of bed in the morning! You can't beat its location! It was in a safe, quiet neighborhood within walking distance to all the sights and sounds of South Congress Ave. Parking was plentiful on the street as well. We would definitely love to stay here again on a future Austin visit :)"
705858,4535178,2013-05-11,5752774,Xian,"Bill's place is in the perfect location (close to South Congress, a quick bus ride to downtown), and the space is clean and beautifully decorated. A wonderful experience."
705858,5002911,2013-06-06,3719807,Sara,"Billy's hideaway was absolutely devine. We couldn't have been happier. Exceptionally clean, super cool decor and in a great walkable Austin neighborhood. "
705858,5101956,2013-06-12,6257604,Jenna,"I am a native Austinite and wanted to treat my friend to the perfect stay, so you can imagine my delight when I happened upon The Hideaway. The photos don't come close to showing off the charm of Bill's place. Gorgeous colors. Tasteful decor. Perfectly considered amenities. We loved being able to walk to South Congress and the lake without feeling like we had to be in the eye of the hipster storm. Absolute delight."
705858,6117222,2013-07-30,3797977,Richardson,"Perfect.  In every way.  Perfect location. Perfect decor. Perfect amenities. Perfect hosts. If you need a home base to explore Austin, I can't imagine a better place.  Just book it.  You won't be disappointed.  "
705858,6816935,2013-08-26,7655864,Craig,"Location, comfort, finishes, design, everything. Just fantastic. Was much larger than I expected based on the pictures and, as others have said, looked even better in person. Great place for exploring the city, but just as nice for some R&R."
705858,8403749,2013-10-29,189165,Amy,"We loved staying here! Great location, we were able to walk to a lot of shops and restaurants. The bed was extremely comfortable. My husband and I didn't want to go back to our queen sized bed afterwards. 
Bill did a great job with the decor as well. It felt like a luxury hotel. 
We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Austin. "
705858,9250212,2013-12-16,3990844,Michelle,"The Hideaway was everything it was pictured to be and more. We immediately felt like we were at home - but better, cleaner, more organized and more comfy than home! The design and decor was just exquisite in every way - we now need to find out the make of the bedding because after we arrived home we realized our bed is nowhere near as comfortable! The location is perfect - so close to South Congress you can walk but on a quiet street so you can escape and feel like you're on a retreat. We loved our stay and were actually thrilled to have the opportunity to stay an extra night when our flight home was delayed due to NYC snowstorms! I will recommend this place to everyone I know who is planning a trip to Austin - to stay anywhere else would be foolish. Bill is an amazing host - responsive and there are amazing touches throughout the place - from the wonderful kitchen to the beautiful living room - the finishes are luxe and well decided. A truly lovely place to stay."
705858,9954404,2014-01-21,6409886,Emma,"The place is beautiful. Very professional, with fun art and a wonderful vibe. We never saw Bill, but he was great with working around our travel plans and just generally being very welcoming. We loved that it really was only a three minute walk from South Congress! We'd definitely stay here on future trips. "
705858,10117651,2014-02-01,10955192,Whitney,This was a perfect place to stay.  The Carriage House was nicer and more comfortable than most hotel rooms we've stayed in.  Great location near South Congress and Bill was a great host. We would love to stay here if we're ever back in Austin.  
705858,10223353,2014-02-07,1806128,Ryan,"I stayed at the Hideaway for a few nights while I was in Austin for work, and rented his bike to get around. Everything was clean, beautiful, and the place had everything I could have wanted. All was smooth and communication was good."
705858,11126728,2014-03-22,11604815,Peter,"The carriage house was beautiful, well appointed and exactly as pictured. We really enjoyed our stay!"
705858,11215053,2014-03-25,9447576,Kalen,"Bill's Hideaway was the perfect place for a vacation.  Everything is beautifully decorated and clean, and the bed is one of the comfiest I have slept on!  The location is great, and my friend and I got around mostly everywhere by walking or by renting the bikes from Bill.  We loved the space and would definitely stay here again if we returned to Austin.  Bill was available whenever we had questions and the house was equipped with a few complimentary beverages and a nespresso machine!  We loved everything about it."
705858,11301580,2014-03-29,6863815,Gwyneth,"This is it! Classy cool in a hot, happening city. The ""Hideaway"" is aptly named: Close to the action, but calming and serene after late nights of loud, live music. The decor is clean and contemporary with just the right touch of whimsy. (It's a holiday just to stay here.) Bill is the perfect host: Happy, hip, (yet totally approachable), and full of insider tips.  Like this one he gave us: ""Go to the Broken Spoke Bar and Texas Two Step to Mike and the Moonpies."" And get this: Bill  responds to texts/emails faster than my partner. Okay. Stop reading ... and book the Hideaway!"
705858,11394713,2014-04-01,598831,Lily,"My friend and I rented this space for a long weekend trip to Austin and were more than satisfied with the experience. Bill was a great communicative host. The space was gorgeous and filled with everything we could have needed: very comfortable bed, bathrobes and towels, espresso maker, magazines about Austin and bicycles, to name a few. The location is also perfect. Just a few blocks from the activity of South Congress and a bus line that will take you quickly downtown for a dollar. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. Thanks, Bill and Dora! "
705858,11648262,2014-04-10,12632851,Atticus,"The Hideaway gives the St Cecilia Hotel a run for its money. Tucked away on a quiet street and furnished beautifully, it's the perfect get-away in Austin. Bill couldn't be nicer or more accommodating. We look forward to returning again and again. "
705858,11824858,2014-04-16,10370349,Bob,"This is a super property, wins most comfortable bed on our 3 week Texas road trip hands down and carefully 'accessorised' for an extension to that authentic Austin experience. Great location close to South Congress  which we felt was the hub of Austin. Bill had provided local beers and insights into places to go and was very responsive to some minor electric issues all quickly resolved. "
705858,11900986,2014-04-18,13872628,Daniel,"Nice and clean. Beautifully decorated! Perfect location to SOCO. It was great to be able to rent bicycles from Bill and explore the city for the day. He was very easy to communicate with when we had left our camera charger and needed to pick it up after our stay. Would highly recommend, we loved everything about our stay!"
705858,12394720,2014-05-01,8834393,Kathryn,"This is one of the greatest rentals that my fiance and I have ever stayed in! The location is unbeatable and the apartment is absolutely beautiful (and immaculate), filled with luxurious furniture, towels, dishes, and appliances. And it's true what everyone has said about the bed - it's the coziest bed imaginable. They've thought of everything! The bathroom was stocked with travel toiletries and beautiful bathrobes, there's a magazine rack, board games, Austin guidebooks, extra towels, blankets. All the personal, Austin touches throughout the apartment made our trip even more special. Bill and Dora are the most lovely, generous hosts. They even offered to deliver fresh towels a few days into our stay. Thank you so much, Bill & Dora! We can't wait to come back :) "
705858,12822407,2014-05-12,243397,Ilya,"Bill was a great host, the apt had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing! Would def. recommend."
705858,13060362,2014-05-19,4900393,Adrienne,"Although we're from Austin, my (now!) husband and I wanted to stay somewhere special for our wedding weekend. We didnt want to stay in a big hotel, so the Carriage House was perfect!! Everything was very clean, the decor was amazing and they had many bonuses like coffee and beverages waiting in the fridge for us. They even had a congratulatory card and flower to welcome us into our new marriage. I would highly recommend staying here!!! "
705858,13399964,2014-05-27,8118654,Natalia,"We loved our stay at the carriage house. Beautiful and cozy home. It was very clean and the bed was so comfy! Great location, easy walk to south congress. Bill was very accommodating and helpful! Will stay again!"
705858,13539885,2014-05-30,6290011,Ryan,My stay at the Hideaway was excellent.  The host Bill was very accomodating and made me feel very welcome.
705858,13650014,2014-06-02,731912,Tara,"The Carriage House is the perfect home away from home!  We didn't want to leave and I want to move into it!  So much more comfortable, clean and classy than a hotel room.  We thoroughly enjoyed the lattes each morning, and yes....as everyone has mentioned, the bed is no less than heavenly.  The neighborhood is lovely, quiet and a great little walk to the heart of SoCo.  All of the little extras (toothbrush, razor etc) were great touches although we didn't need any of them.  The only thing we lacked were washcloths, which I thought was a bit odd, but hey...just pack your own.  I would definitely stay here again and would/have already recommended it to others.  Thank you Bill!"
705858,13821378,2014-06-05,671334,Caroline And Aleks,"Bill's carriage house in Austin is a wonderful place to stay!  It is clean, well-appointed and luxurious.  It is incredibly close to South Congress and just a bit farther to S. 1st.  Bill was a very flexible, welcoming host.  We will definitely stay here next time we're in Austin!"
705858,13947501,2014-06-09,644909,Jonna And Mark,"Austin is such a dynamic city! Great food scene, lots of green space, nice people and fun public art. The Hideaway was a relaxing and comfortable place for us to call home as we explored the city. The apartment is beautifully decorated and stocked with high quality home supplies. Bill has an incredible sense of style, which is demonstrated by the décor and furnishings. He also was very responsive to our communications. He even offered some great restaurant suggestions before we arrived.  The location and neighborhood was perfect – walking distance to many great food and drink options. Thanks Bill and Dora! We hope to come back and stay at the Hideaway soon! "
705858,14268819,2014-06-16,2006645,Jamie Lauren,This was our second time staying here. Place was beautiful and clean. Bill was very responsive to any questions I had. House was close to S. Congress. Great neighborhood to run in as well. We would love to stay here next time we visit Austin.
705858,14678202,2014-06-24,6889818,Alissa,"My husband and I stayed at the Hideaway for a ""mini-moon"" trip to Austin. We couldn't have been happier with our choice! The place is beautiful, lots of light, and a great location. Easy access to South Congress area, but off the beaten path enough to be nice and quiet!

Bill also had some beautiful bikes that we were able to use. I sent him a text message and they were ready for us in the courtyard ten minutes later!

I would definitely stay at the Hideaway again. Thank you!"
705858,15308057,2014-07-07,13604195,Jessica,"We felt so lucky finding this gem on airbnb. We truly fell in love with the place, the space, the neighborhood, the southern hospitality and were so sad to leave! The Hideaway is a lovely getaway adorned with whimsical and artistic charm with an impeccable attention to detail ensuring a comfortable and luxurious stay. 
The bed felt like heaven-- the best sleep I've had in a long time! The kitchen is fully stocked to cook at home if you wish. It was very sweet of our hosts to welcome us with Nespresso pods and Texas made beverages in the fridge. And the bathroom has a heating option so you're warm and cozy after a shower! I was so excited about that! :)
Travis Heights is an eclectic neighborhood- located in a very convenient area in South Austin close to everything. You will definitely enjoy your stay here. We loved it so much-- we can't wait to come back! Or better yet, move to Austin from NYC and live in The Hideaway permanently! Thanks for everything, Bill & Dara!"
705858,15635691,2014-07-13,859267,Luz,"Bill's place is amazing! Super clean & beautifully decorated! The apartment is within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants in SOCO but far enough to get a quiet nights sleep. The kitchen was stocked with coffee & other wonderful goodies. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with comfy bathrobes & plush towels. I highly recommend staying at Bill's Carriage House, I look forward to returning soon! I loved everything about my stay!"
705858,16662779,2014-07-31,1459197,Denise,"I was providing accommodations for someone else and Bill was very helpful with all of my questions about his space.  He was prompt in responses and easy to work with.  I did visit the space a few times and it is gorgeous.  Bill definitely put a lot of thought into amenities.  Everything my friends needed was there.  They were thrilled and said most definitely that the ""Hideaway"" was one of the highlights of their trip."
705858,17092841,2014-08-07,15062204,Karen,"We loved our stay at the Hideaway.  Everything and more than we expected.

It was the perfect base for our week-long exploration of Austin, its food, bars, parks and things to do. The hosts had clearly put a lot of thought into making it a beautiful and luxurious place to stay. We feel certain we'll be back one day!"
705858,19191001,2014-09-08,16301385,Eileen,"We loved our stay at the Hideaway. the place was clean and beautiful. Bill's description and pictures were right on target. There were welcoming touches in the refrigerator to make us feel at home. Location was the best, on a quite street and a walk to SOCO. We would definitely recommend this gem to anyone and of course next visit to Austin we will contact Bill. "
705858,20004506,2014-09-22,2131012,Deborah,"We loved staying at the Luxury Carriage House in Austin. It was our first visit to Austin - such a great and interesting place. Bill made us feel very welcome.. and the place is so close to the SoCo strip of very cool shops and restaurants. It was definitely a good, comfortable, clean ""home"" to come back to each day. Highly recommend it! "
705858,20187464,2014-09-25,7760309,Lauren,"The Hideaway is on a peaceful, quiet street. Great location walkable to South Congress. I was in Austin for a conference downtown and I was able to walk to work each morning (about 30 mins). The Hideaway is super cute and comfortable. Bill was a great host - very communicative and hospitable. We had everything we needed (soap, etc.) plus some sweet extras like snacks and espresso. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in town. Thank you Bill!  "
705858,20546670,2014-10-01,12362621,Hayley,"The Hideaway was a little piece of heaven in our 5 day trip to Austin! We were in town for a wedding & Bill left us a lovely card & a couple of beers in the fridge to welcome us which were so welcome! There were so many lovely touches & attention to detail to the space that we didn't want to leave! We never met Bill but he was always on hand to answer any queries we had via text or email & we felt we truly had a very private space which was way better (& cheaper!) than any hotel & only 4 blocks from my favorite street in Austin - South Congress! This is truly a gem of a place & you will not be disappointed if you stay here!! Super comfy bed too!! Thanks Bill, we'll definitely be back!"
705858,20630391,2014-10-02,20774733,Meredith,"I relocated to The Hideaway after a few nights at a downtown hotel and wish I had booked it for the entire stay! As a female traveling alone I felt very safe and the location within walking distance of the heart of SOCO was ideal. The furnishings and amenities were top notch and the personal touches made me feel right at home. Bill was an excellent host who was responsive to my questions and quick to return calls. He also suggested a restaurant nearby that ended up being my favorite of all the ones I ate at the entire week - South Congress Café. If you are on the fence about staying here, book it...you will be glad you did! "
705858,20890617,2014-10-07,3179240,Rhea,The Carriage House was the perfect home base for our weekend in Austin.  It's within easy walking distance to lots of restaurants and bars.  We also rented bicycles and biked all over Austin.  Bill was very accommodating and provided some great suggestions for places to go.  The Carriage House was beautifully furnished and very clean.  We would certainly stay here again.
705858,21056861,2014-10-10,19812971,Gretchen,"I wish I could live in the Hideaway! What a great place - as luxurious as any 5 star hotel down to every detail. Full of books on Austin and art and film - wish I could have stayed longer. Superb location! 4 blocks from South Congress - the best blocks of SoCo. And even though I didn't get to meet Bill in person, I had a great conversation with him on the phone and several helpful texts and attentiveness to any of my questions about the place and Austin. I will certainly return to Austin AND hopefully to the Hideaway if it's not already rented. Thanks, Bill!  "
705858,21195507,2014-10-13,16977126,Sapna,"We had a fantastic 3-night stay at the carriage house for ACL. Bill has tastefully decorated the place with little touches throughout that make it comfortable and fun.  The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom is cute and has everything you need, the kitchenette is perfect with a roomy fridge & stovetop and the lounge area has a great stash of magazines, helpful Austin guidebooks and games. It's on a quiet street but still walking distance from South Congress.  We loved it and I would definitely stay here again. "

705858,21791870,2014-10-24,21786947,Doug,"This was more than a home away from home. Wifi, cable, kitchen, fridge and small little touches I that will have many wonderful memories of for year to come.
Bee back spoon!"

705858,22641976,2014-11-11,16144742,Lydia,Wonderful home away from home. The hideaway has everything thing you'll need and it's in a perfect location. Quiet neighborhood but just a few minutes walk to SOCO for food and shopping. We loved it and Bill was super friendly and attentive. We'll be back for sure! 
705858,22945222,2014-11-18,794037,Mark,"Bill's Carriage House was exactly as described and captured in the pictures.   Although we had a car, we kept it parked except for a day excursion to some wineries in the Hill Country.  Everything else we wanted to do was within easy walking distance for me (61 years old) and my wife (58) We walked downtown to the State House but spent most of our time in the neighbourhood.  The Continental Club was great for music and was 10-15 minutes away.  Restaurants abound for any taste.  

The Carriage House itself was comfortable, nicely decorated and there were many magazines giving great information on Austin and surrounding area.  The kitchen was fully equipped, enough so that we ate in and cooked a meal one night.  The weather was unseasonably cold so we appreciated the heating system, which worked very well.  Free wi-fi was also appreciated.  I would heartily recommend this listing to any couple wanting a comfortable base from which to explore Austin."
705858,23489366,2014-12-02,20037455,Nate,the carriage house is in an excellent location just a short walk to South Congress shopping and dining. The furnishings are classy and comfortable and exceeded expectations. Bill was a great host who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. We won't hesitate to stay at the carriage house on future visits to Austin.
705858,23969896,2014-12-15,7293143,Xavier,The Carriege house is an Amazing place! Bill is the most thougt full host we were very happy. The decoration stands out!
705858,24485196,2014-12-29,12926118,Sue,"We loved this carriage house!  Beautifully furnished and decorated with fun art, comfortable king bed, and very quiet. We loved being able to walk to South Congress restaurants and shops and even to downtown. Bill has supplied the apartment with coffee, plush bathrobes, books and magazines and about Austin and more. We will definitely stay here again when we next visit Austin. 

We never met Bill but he did give us suggestions for restaurants, music venues, and walking at our request."
705858,24915693,2015-01-04,2810395,Karen,"This was an exceptional accommodation experience. The apartment was great, very comfortable and well-appointed, in a lovely street close to all the action in South Congress. Bill was a terrific host, very helpful the whole way. Highly recommended!"
705858,25468155,2015-01-17,24587748,James,Bill made us feel very welcome.  He was very responsive to all our questions about Austin.  His place is very comfortable and cozy but also upscale.  The neighborhood is fantastic very residential but close to South Congress street with great reasonably priced restaurants and shops.  There is also a wonderful park nearby-3 minute walk-to get some sun or take the dog.
705858,25592556,2015-01-20,23266578,Morgan,My husband and I loved staying at The Hideaway. Bill was a gracious host and handled a dicey check in situation (not his fault) with ease. The carriage house was just as described and we loved everything about the stay. The walk to South Congress is SO EASY. Highly recommend staying here!
705858,25677472,2015-01-23,20756551,Glen,Very welcome. Great communications. Very easy access.
705858,26386197,2015-02-11,9234150,Seth,"Bill was a wonderful host and the carriage house was a wonderful place to stay. The guest information was perfectly clear, access was easy, the amenities were fantastic, and the location couldn't be better. The house is truly in the best neighborhood in Austin, quiet and peaceful but a five minute walk from South Congress and all the fun spots. Bill was a terrific host, fun to talk to and so knowledgeable about the city. His restaurant suggestions were perfect!"
705858,26500668,2015-02-14,2485037,Andrew,Incredible place that's perfectly appointed. Hard to describe how amazing it was but everything we needed was there. When we return we will stay again! 
705858,26669569,2015-02-17,10189461,Amanda,"We stayed with Bill for three days over the Presidents Day weekend for the Austin Marathon. We loved the Hideout's location -- just a few blocks from some South Congress shopping and restaurants and convenient to downtown and the Town Lake trail if you run a mile or so. The Hideout was super clean and almost like a hotel. We enjoyed the espresso and beer and incredibly comfy beds. The pictures here are exactly what this place looks like. We'll be back the next time we come to Austin. Thanks again, Bill!"
705858,26862724,2015-02-21,7774556,Hayley,"Bill was a wonderful host! The Hideaway was perfect; it had everything we needed to feel right at home.  The neighborhood was in a great location, close to lots of great restaurants and parks.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway."
705858,27051030,2015-02-24,16289127,Nancy,"What can I say about my experience at The Hideaway, that has not already been said?  It's true, Bill is responsive.  From booking the rental to a quick question on site, Bill responded immediately.  The property is just as described.  In fact, maybe, better.  Has anyone mentioned how quiet the location is?  The location is quiet.  It truly is a ""Hideaway"".  Yet just a few blocks walk to the action on SOCO (South Congress St).  I slept great at the Hideaway because of the quiet location and fantastic bed and bedding.  

Bill did welcome me with flowers and cold drinks in the fridge.  We really enjoyed the Nespresso machine.  The apartment was immaculate and well appointed, but not ""overdone"".  When my friends came, all four of us  visited comfortably around the coffee table.  The beautiful bath has lots of little hidden touches such as  high quality ventilation and heat.  No steam on the mirror and a comfortable room when you step out of the shower.  

As a result of my stay, I'm already thinking about returning to Austin and ""The Hideaway""!  Thanks, Bill! "
705858,27457803,2015-03-05,20857983,Ken,"My wife and I had a great stay in this cute, studio carriage house.  It was within 2-3 block walk to South Congress where you can find many shops, restaurants, etc.  Although we did not need much, Bill was very attentive to any needs when it was necessary.  The best review I could give is that I would not hesitate to stay here again when I am in Austin. "
705858,27712814,2015-03-10,10859244,Shannon,"We had a wonderful time staying in the Carriage House! It was such a perfect location for us, easy walking distance to South Congress, and a quick cab ride to downtown and Rainey Street. The house had everything we needed -- coffee, umbrellas, a hair dryer, plenty of closet space -- we really couldn't have asked for a more pleasant accommodation. And the bed was so comfortable! Hopefully we'll be back soon, Austin! "
705858,27852974,2015-03-13,336502,Allie,"Bill's Carriage House was one of my favorite places I've stayed in on Airbnb. A charming home with all the amenities you could think of (a nespresso machine, tea, hairdryer, extra shampoo and conditioner, and more!) it feels like a true hideaway from the city. We loved the location and proximity to South Congress Street - it's an easy 10 minute walk or 5 minute bike ride. Bill was a fantastic host - easy to communicate with and very responsive. We loved the ability to use Bill's bikes to commute into Austin too. I would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely stay here again. "
705858,28115759,2015-03-18,4181205,Kristen,"Perfect place and great amenities, a joy! The location is perfect, an easy walk to great restaurants and shops and a quiet and leafy neighborhood. The host was accommodating, even with a schedule update and was easy to communicate with. Will be booking again!"
705858,28375408,2015-03-23,16677871,Kevin,"The stay at the Carriage House Unit B was very nice. The building was in a nice neighborhood, walkable to many restaurants and businesses on South Congress, and a short mile and a half or so walk across the river to Austin's downtown. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the studio was very comfortably decorated. Bill was very hospitable and accomodating, and always answered his phone and promptly replied to emails throughout the entire process. Overall it was a very enjoyable, stress-free stay."
705858,28698604,2015-03-29,7529396,Jeff,"We had a great time at The Hideaway.  The neighborhood is beautiful and the location is great.  We had a car so we used that but you could easily walk to south Congress street, which was one of the areas we really enjoyed.  Description of property is exactly as described.  Bill was extremely easy to work with, very quick response.  Thanks Bill."
705858,29090142,2015-04-04,5452174,Iwona,"We had a great time staying with Bill in Austin. The apartment was spacious, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Bill has an eye  for every detail so all that is provided for you is of a premium quality. For example a hairdryer that I found there was the best one I've ever come across in a tourist accommodation because this is typically an item that everybody is stingy with. Not Bill and there are many other examples like that with a  Nescafe coffee making machine together with some complementary capsules, a  tea chest with some complementary tea, and even some beer in the fridge. The location is perfect to just walk to SoCo for weird stuff, good food or live music. And the host is very friendly and helpful as well!"
705858,29241994,2015-04-05,5326231,Emily,"The best money we spent our entire trip! Perfect in every way, easy access, great location, well appointed, and spacious. It smelled nice and refreshing. The bed was so comfortable! It was hard to leave! I hope to stay at the carriage house again on my next Austin visit!"
705858,29810847,2015-04-13,9666805,Ellen,The Hideaway is a super nice place in a great location in an interesting neighborhood.  The unit is above the garage. There is a small table and 2 chairs outside the front door in a quite small enclosed patio area. The only drawback to this property is the limited area to be outdoors. The bikes that are available for rent were comfortable and fun. Bill was very promptly responsive to all my inquiries from start to finish and was easy to work with.
705858,30367342,2015-04-20,17464840,Tommy,"An absolutely fantastic experience. Arguably the best AirBnB experience I have encountered. The entrance is extremely private, the space very well decorated and appointed, and the host, Bill, was very helpful during booking. My girlfriend and I, with our black lab, spent a great weekend strolling around South Congress. We will be recommending this space to all our friends who stay in Austin. "
705858,31297052,2015-05-04,2253336,Alyssa,"The carriage house was great! The studio was set up like a high-end hotel. The Travis Heights neighborhood was charming and this was a perfect location, walkable to SoCo. Would highly recommend and would love to come back!"
705858,31670211,2015-05-08,16262004,Joe,"The carriage house was impeccably clean and well prepared for my visit.  The listing description of the carriage was accurate, but the place was beyond the expectations set in the description.
The Travis Heights neighborhood is great no matter what you are looking to do in Austin.  The neighborhood was a convenient location to stay for the proximity to my new job.  The carriage house is on a quiet residential street, but in a few short blocks you have access to all the action on South Congress.
"
705858,31942833,2015-05-12,8268367,Laura,"Bill's property is heavenly.  I was welcomed with the AC cranked up, beer and water in the fridge, and the coziest lighting and amenities I could have dreamed of.  Lovely bed, robes and toiletries in the bathroom, a couch and throw blanket for resting after a day of walking a few blocks to South Congress and beyond. I highly recommend staying at the Carriage house and will be back for my next visit.  "
705858,32814324,2015-05-22,6297932,Taylor,"Bill's property was absolutely perfect and surpassed expectations. It feels like you're staying at a boutique hotel with luxury amenities and attention to detail, but with the added bonus of your own apartment tucked away just a few blocks from South Congress. I look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Austin!"
705858,33064338,2015-05-25,26048696,Larry,"Bill had everything ready for our stay, including a few beers in the fridge! The place was exactly as described: private, well decorated, extremely comfortable.  One of our best airbnb experiences!"
705858,33414844,2015-05-27,27710698,Chatham,Fantastic location and even better accommodations! Lovely home with all the amenities you could want. A short walk to SoCo and we easily walked from the house downtown and over to Rainy St. The rain could have been a damper but it was actually a pleasant treat to be able to just relax and enjoy it in The Hideaway. We love Austin and Bills place will be at the top of the list next time we come. Thanks from SC
705858,33907063,2015-06-02,29400231,Michael,"My fiancee and I stayed at Bill's place for a long weekend vacation. The unit is built out over a garage (so there is a staircase to access the unit, if that matters to you). It is smartly decorated and very spacious for two people. Bill is a very gracious host providing everything we could possibly need for a cozy stay: fluffy towels, a super comfortable bed, extra toiletries, tea/coffee, and even bathrobes. Bill was also very accommodating in letting us check in a few hours early. The location (a few blocks to South Congress) is outstanding. We rented a car, and always found easy street parking right out front. Overall, we would highly recommend Bill's place and would definitely stay there again the next time we are in Austin."
705858,34398306,2015-06-08,6779413,Abbie,Excellent place to stay in Austin! I would highly recommend to anyone who wants to stay close to the soco shops and restaurants. Easy walk. Really nice place. Would stay again. 
705858,34653342,2015-06-10,26321766,Alexandra,"Bill was a wonderful host - from the cleanliness of the carriage house to his thoughtful recommendations, I couldn't have been more pleased. We both thoroughly enjoyed staying at Bill's - the pictures were spot on, and it was wonderful being able to walk to most of our destinations being so close to the SoCo shops. I would definitely love to book this spot again!"
705858,34956267,2015-06-14,5837713,Niranda,"The Carriage House was very clean, comfortable, modern, and quiet.  It was wonderful to have a coffee maker that can make fresh brewed coffee, latte, or cappuccino.  The kitchen area has a full size refrigerator, a microwave, stove, and the silverwares & dishware are provided.  The bathroom was a perfect size with clean towels, amenities, and bathrobes.  The bed was comfortable.  Bill left us a welcome card which was a very nice gesture.
It was closed to downtown, stores, walking trails, and parks.  The Travis Heights neighborhood has beautiful homes and we enjoyed walking around there in the early morning. Bill was friendly and was very quick in answering any questions I had.  We had a very pleasant time staying at the Carriage House."
705858,35318072,2015-06-17,9728550,Annabel,"Bills Hideaway house was a fantastic mini break for the two of us! Fantastic interior and despite not being in the centre of town, lots near by to walk to. Thanks for the great stay! Only complaint is wish we could have had access to that beautiful looking pool! Next time we will book next door ;) "
705858,35509415,2015-06-19,30480443,Natalie,"We couldn't have had a better time in Austin and a large part of that had to do with this amazing property. The Hideaway was lovely, perfectly decorated and made us feel at home. Thanks again to Bill who was an over the top host!"
705858,36199001,2015-06-26,31033321,Tatiana,"I can't express enough how pleased I was with Bill's property.  It is so obvious that he is a person who thinks of every detail.  The place was clean, fully stocked with amenities you would expect at a boutique hotel, and the location is fantastic.  You are right in the middle of everything without feeling constricted by the city.  I HIGHLY recommend this property."
705858,36461537,2015-06-28,36155840,Michael,"Bill's house was phenomenal. It was in a very convenient location a few blocks away from South Congress. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was nice (and included shampoo, soap, and conditioner), and the room was well air conditioned. Bill was incredibly responsive and accommodating. The little outdoor patio was nice too. I was very impressed."
705858,37288732,2015-07-06,3437049,Ben,"The place was beautiful, just like in the photos.  It was a convenient walk to South Congress and the neighborhood was nice and safe.  Bill was very helpful when we needed anything."
705858,38529249,2015-07-16,33390589,Sue,"Bill's place was wonderful!  There were many little details that made our stay great, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.  We were so comfortable staying there.  The carriage house is exactly as described.  The neighborhood is great for taking walks.  It's very quiet at night, but also so close to many Austin attractions.  So much better than staying in a hotel :)"
705858,39910052,2015-07-27,5376425,Hailey,"The Hideaway is a wonderful place! Just as the photos and listing present it: very well designed designed and decorated, clean, comfortable, quiet, with excellent amenities and a great location in Travis Heights, not far from the action of South Congress. It truly felt like home away from home! Bill was also very nice and responsive. I would highly recommend the Luxury Carriage House/Hideaway and any space listed by Bill, as his taste seems impeccable!"
705858,40469530,2015-07-31,20937537,Ambrice,"This is how all airbnbs should be. We could NOT have asked for a more amazing apartment! It exceeded all expectations! The amount of thought and care that went into the decor and the small touches made us feel at home immediately! After the stay we wanted to move to Austin if it meant we could stay in a place like Bill's retreat everyday. My boyfriend had always wanted to come to Austin and the apartment was perfectly located near SoCo, easy walking distance to everything. Cannot wait to book our next visit back. 10 out of 10"
705858,41098913,2015-08-04,33049113,Stacey,"We loved staying at the Carriage House! The space is exactly as it looks in the photos and is efficiently designed, providing everything you need in a small footprint. There are thoughtful touches such as board games and local guidebooks as well as a personal card from Bill on arrival. The neighborhood of Travis Heights is friendly and full of character and provided an authentic Austin experience; the location allows you to walk to anywhere on South Congress! In addition, the check in/out process was smooth and no fuss; Bill provided everything we needed prior to our arrival. You will love staying at the Carriage House!!"
705858,41821897,2015-08-09,24269129,Jen,Our stay at the carriage house was a dream! We almost would have rather stayed inside the entire time due to the cozy layout and beautiful design! Bill was very accommodating and easy to work with. The place was stocked with everything we needed and we felt right at home! We are looking forward to possibly staying again soon! 
705858,43844166,2015-08-22,38673405,Ashley,"Had a great experience staying at the Luxury Carriage House. The location is perfect. Walkable distance to SoCo and a safe neighborhood.

The inside of the house was clean and welcoming. I would defiantly stay with Bill again at the Luxury Carriage House. "
705858,45126065,2015-08-31,37964454,Jacob,"Bill's place was the BEST! The location of the place is excellent with the buzz of South Congress cafes, restaurants, food trucks and bars only minutes from the door step. Bill was easy to communicate with and replied to our questions almost immediately. The place was clean and exactly as shown in the pictures with a very comfortable large bed. I would definitely recommend staying at the Carriage House and can't wait to stay there again on our next trip to Austin."
705858,45563147,2015-09-04,7267008,Clara,"I had a great experience at Bill's Luxury Carriage House in Austin. The house was in a lovely area of the City, next to many nice restaurants and unique shops and it was fully equipped to make you feel as in home. If I went back to Austin I would surely repeat in Bill's apartment!!"
705858,45896368,2015-09-06,2267961,Jesse,Bill's place was great. Super clean and checking in was a breeze. Nice comfy bed. Thanks again. 
705858,46268749,2015-09-09,30438089,Stacey,"Hands down the absolute BEST experience!!  Bill's Carriage House is absolutely beautiful-the pictures are incredibly accurate and the space is even better, in person.  The level of quiet we experienced was unreal and so welcome!!  The walkability to all of the fun shops and restaurants was absolutely perfect!  In addition, 6th street was all of a 5 minute drive...cannot beat this location!  Bill let us know he was available for anything we needed however he already thought of everything you could imagine and had the place stocked!  All the amenities you would expect in a hotel were there: bathrobes, toiletries, hair dryer, iron, suitcase rack, hangers, extra pillows, a fully stocked kitchen...all of it!  And his decorating made you feel you were in a large, private suite in a very high end hotel.  My boyfriend was completely skeptical of the whole AirBnB thing but he was blown away by Bill's place & we didn't want to leave!  I cannot say enough about how positive our experience was.  I would without a doubt recommend the Carriage House...10 stars!  :)  "
705858,47954564,2015-09-22,7483267,Merril,"We had a wonderful stay with Bill this past weekend.  Bill was extremely accommodating (he let us drop our bags off early) and was very helpful with food and activity recommendations.  His carriage house was exactly as advertised, charming, quaint and tidy.  It was the perfect amount of space!  Lastly, the location of his home is PERFECT.  We were able to do so much exploring by foot, which we really enjoyed.  If we return to Austin, we will be staying with Bill!"
705858,48277889,2015-09-25,25648546,Heather,"Bill was an absolute doll; so hospitable! The carriage house was better than expected, the perfect place to stay while in Austin. The bed was extremely comfortable and there was a plethora of coffee options. 

I was there for work and really appreciated not having to board my pup Brady. Bill was happy to host the both of us. I will be staying here anytime I'm in Austin, if there's availability of course.

"
705858,49358829,2015-10-03,6032393,Amber & Brett,"We enjoyed our three night stay and would love to visit again. Wonderful use of space with lovely decor, incredible location (walking distance to shops and eateries) and a very responsive host. "
705858,50072316,2015-10-09,19236054,Peter,I've stayed in a bunch of Air BnB spots all over the country and in Europe. This may have been the best. Ideal for solo travel or a couple
705858,50928289,2015-10-16,3754279,Sarah,Great place! Fab location. We really loved it here. Can't wait to come back and stay with Bill again. 
705858,51605123,2015-10-22,29293467,Katie,Our stay at the Hideaway was just perfect! The space has the cleanliness of a five star hotel but makes you feel like you are right at home! (The bed is incredible comfortable!!) The location is absolutely perfect as well- just a short walk to all the cool shops and awesome places to eat on South Congress! For anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin then you definitely need to stay here! Bill was a great host and I can't wait to stay there again!!
705858,52517442,2015-10-30,874728,Peter,"Austin has an undeniable natural beauty, which is amplified in the Travis Heights neighborhood. Inside Bill's carriage house you'll find that he captures the funky essence of the city, while providing a comfortable sanctuary (for the few hours that you'll be sleeping). Congress street, and the amazing food and music that you'll find there, are just a few blocks away. I've already passed the link to Bill's place to a handful of my friends and I'm counting the days til I'm back in Austin!"
3970905,19051634,2014-09-05,20187579,Gina,"Staying in Danny's apartment was my first airbnb experience, and I can only hope my next experiences are just as great as this one was! The apartment was very comfortable and clean - I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. And Danny was a very nice, gracious, accommodating host. Giving a 5-star rating was a no-brainer."
3970905,19253704,2014-09-08,19712653,Anne-Claire,Thanks you both for your great welcome. It was really nice to meet you and we enjoyed your saty in Austin thanks to you.
3970905,21315692,2014-10-14,840577,Matthew,"Danny and Jessi are awesome! They were great hosts that helped make our trip to Austin an amazing experience! They gave us great social activity recommendations and advice for navigating the city via the various transportation options. The apartment is very strategically located to get to Zilker Park, 6th Street, and Rainy Street very easily. The room is spacious and the mattress is very comfortable for two. Above all Danny and Jessi are cool and we genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. The next time we need to find a place to stay in Austin, they'll without a doubt be the first people we contact. "
3970905,22350141,2014-11-03,2739486,Kyle,"Great location, nice clean room, excellent hosts. Robert and Jessi were a pleasure to meet and hang out with. Will be looking you guys up next time I'm in Austin!"
3970905,22961900,2014-11-18,14427171,Philipp,"Robert's and Jessi's home close to downtown and at the riverside is a very nice place to stay! It's clean, it's in a beautiful neighborhood and they are perfect hosts! They gave us great recommendations for Austin and talking to them was always funny.  We can highly recommend to stay here!!! "
3970905,24756781,2015-01-02,3682244,Elizabeth,"Robert and Jessi were wonderful hosts and provided my friend and I with everything we needed for our short stay.  Also, they gave us some great suggestions on restaurants and areas to check out.  Their place was centrally located and very close to downtown Austin.  "
3970905,25539820,2015-01-19,23005888,Rebecca,"Danny (Robert) went above and beyond to meet our needs while in Houston. My brother David decided to join us on our trip after we had already booked the space with Danny, so he had confirmed reservations with another airbnb host nearby. But despite repeated attempts to reach my brothers host the guy never showed up at the home nor responded  to our calls or airbnb's attempts to reach him on our behalf. Upon learning of my brothers situation, Danny went out of his way to accomodate my brother in his home and did so at no additional cost. The apartment is as described, the bed comfortable and his dog was very friendy and affectionate. We hope to stay with danny again the next time we're in Houston."
3970905,25859489,2015-01-27,4057652,Sam,"Robert and Jess where great hosts for my time in Austin, they made me feel welcome and I even got some breakfast tacos on my last morning! 

The room was perfect for what I was looking for, clean, comfortable and quiet. 

The flat is really well located and only a short walk across the bridge to downtown Austin, there are also some great cafe's and bars nearby, check out the Buzzmill only a short walk away and there is a great boardwalk next to the river which is nice. 

I recommend staying here and would choose to stay with them again when I'm down in Austin.

3970905,26037438,2015-02-01,24597947,Saad,"Danny (Robert) and Jessie were of the nicest, most awesome people I've ever met. They treated me like a close friend even though we just met. They have been a trustful, helpful and most respectful couple for me and everything in their lives. I wish I could've stayed more in Austin just to be with them. They will definitely be my first choice when I visit Austin again."
3970905,26408916,2015-02-11,1212111,Laura,"I enjoyed staying at Danny's. The location was exactly as described and pictured. The room was actually bigger than I thought it would be, and comfy bed. Easy communication and he was very laid back which made for a comfortable stay. I thought the location was pretty good and was close-by to our venue for a show that brought us into town. My girlfriend and I had a very pleasant stay, he had a really cute dog that we befriended, and it was very reasonably priced. Oh, and the apt complex is on the lake, it was gorgeous in the morning sun! I would def stay here again. "
3970905,26707244,2015-02-17,25804896,Amy,"Danny and Jessi were very nice, accommodating and easy to talk to.  The space was as advertised. We took advantage of their brunch recommendation and enjoyed it very much. Since the Austin Marathon was going on that weekend, they offered help in navigating the area to avoid delays. Their place was easy to find and there was a bus stop right outside the complex which made getting around very easy and cheap. There are a few eateries within walking distance if you want to get a quick bite. The boardwalk was just steps from their unit and provided wonderful views of the Austin skyline. "
3970905,27022876,2015-02-23,25204282,Daniel,"I had a great time on my first airbnb experience! Not only did they make me feel extremely welcome, they were great people to be around! Thank you both!"
3970905,28429135,2015-03-23,12790157,Charlotte,"I was not in the apartment that much during the week as it was during the SXSW festival, however Danny made me feel welcome when I was there and provided water in my room which was a welcome added touch.
The location is great and I was able to either walk or take a short uber ride downtown.
I would say that the bathroom did not really meet my expectations and I was a little disappointed with this aspect - I think if you are charging guests through Airbnb these areas should be well maintained and fairly spotless which I didn't find it to be."
3911693,18767078,2014-08-31,8656108,Liz & Rodrigo,"We stayed at Deluxe Digs for Labor Day weekend.  It was perfect!  The location was great - in a neighborhood, but adjacent to Mopac and only a few minutes to 6th Street and downtown destinations.  It was very clean, had everything we needed, including an iron and coffeemaker, and the decorations were super cute.  Christina was very responsive and everything went smoothly.  

We have already recommended Deluxe Digs to friends, and we will definitely stay again!"
3911693,19172871,2014-09-07,20565151,Reed,I could not have asked for a better first airbnb experience. The house was clean and had everything we could ask for. Thank you very much for great stay this weekend! 
3911693,19450409,2014-09-12,20953938,Erica,"My husband and I loved staying at Christinas place! It was relaxing, clean, and exactly what we needed for out trip to Austin. The bed was comfortable and she even left us with a snack on our arrival. We never saw Christina, but that was okay! She responded to all our emails quickly. The duplex doesn't look like much on the outside, but inside it's beautiful. The only negative was that they are working on the fence on the street and so we heard a lot of construction while wanting to sleep in. We highly recommend this place! "
3911693,19564091,2014-09-14,10979482,Kevin,Great experience at deluxe digs. Very neat and clean. Great location. The bed was very soft and the sheets were comfortable. It was very close to the highway and train tracks but you could barely hear them in the bedroom. Keyless entry was also very cool
3911693,19859077,2014-09-19,21380342,Geneva,We had a wonderful stay in Austin.  The home was nicely decorated and very clean.  It was a short drive to the Convention Center with multiple ways to get there avoiding traffic.  We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin.  
3911693,19964701,2014-09-21,1721979,Allie,"We loved staying at Deluxe Digs! It was just as the pictures look, it smelled very new, and the whole place was spotless. There's a comfortable bed, everything you need is provided, and Christina even left us a cute chocolate bar, coffee, and Topo Chico! I really like that Christina didn't do the bare minimum in terms of stocking the apartment. She has nice towels, mid-range kitchen supplies, and good sheets - those things go a long way and I appreciate the non-skimp approach.

I couldn't hear the train/highway at all when I was sleeping, but my mom did say she heard it a little both nights. Overall, nice place for the money and I'll recommend it to family that comes to Austin to visit."
3911693,20366996,2014-09-28,18099550,Marissa,Christina was a fantastic host! Her place is super cute and very clean. I also left something behind and she was very kind to ship it back to me. Would stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. Thanks!!
3911693,20617683,2014-10-02,7076703,Sarah,"Perfect apartment for two! I had already stayed in busy (especially at night) downtown; I found Clarksville to be the perfect suburb whereby I could ride my bike everywhere (10-15 minutes to downtown but all over Austin too) but I also loved the walk from the unit to whole foods. It's such a beautiful suburb west of Austin and to me it's important to see these parts to really understand and appreciate the city. It's very safe, clean and ever luxury you could expect from a 5 star hotel. Would definitely stay again. Easy to deal with owner, despite not meeting, communication was a breeze! "
3911693,21001829,2014-10-09,21196404,Lisa,"This has to be the most well-equipped place I've ever stayed! Full kitchen, iron/ironing board, hairdryer, laundry soap for the washer/dryer, toiletries - everything we needed to feel at home. We were part of a wedding and the location was perfect for all the wedding errands we needed to run. The place was also immaculate. Linens were fresh and clean and everything was sparkling and new. I would definitely recommend this apartment to others and I'd also stay again myself! Thanks so much Christina!!"
3911693,21208830,2014-10-13,15138356,Jillian,Great place to stay! Would definitely recommend!
3911693,21527312,2014-10-19,16220072,Kathy,"This place was great! Perfect location (within 10-15 minutes of everything) and very safe neighborhood. Only flaw is its proximity to the highway and train tracks, it could get a little loud during the night but really wasn't enough to bother me. Host kept lines of communication open with me and was available if I had any issues (which I didn't because the house was pretty much fully stocked). Would definitely recommend it!"
3911693,21685058,2014-10-21,5454207,Mark,"My wife and I recently went for a long weekend in Austin and because of the central location we decided on  Christina's duplex. The duplex  is clean comfortable and cozy. Perfect for a couple who want easy access to all Austin has to offer.  The kitchen is functional and comes with everything you need for basic cooking. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is spacious. Christina was also gracious enough to provide us a  bottle of sparkling water, coffee and a bar of chocolate. Just be aware that the duplex is right next to the highway and train track. We didn't notice the road noise but my wife could hear the trains. This may improve once all the road construction is completed. Overall, we would stay there again and highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin."
3911693,21827719,2014-10-25,20469705,Phil,"What a wonderful home, and I emphasize Home. You can tell Christina put a lot of thought into making sure her guests were comfortable.  The living area, the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom...everything Perfect!  Truly a great place to back to after enjoying all of Austin's restaurants.  And best of all, less than 10 minutes to all of the action. Do not hesitate to book this home."
3911693,22123751,2014-10-30,10393381,Taylor,"Absolutely fabulous little bungalow! The place is immaculately clean, has comfortable furnishings, and is located the perfect distance from downtown. If you have extra time, take a walk through the neighborhood, it's beautiful. Christina is quick to respond and very pleasant. I highly recommend the Deluxe Digs!"
3911693,22266539,2014-11-02,2435866,Lauren,Wonderful location. Easy to get in and very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. 
3911693,22523227,2014-11-09,20937075,Megan,Christina was friendly and accommodating by letting us drop our bags off earlier than the check-in. The place was extremely clean and comfortable. The location was very convenient to downtown the university. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin!
3911693,23042364,2014-11-21,16429574,Gail,"While we have stayed at Sweet Central Suite many times, this was our first time in Deluxe Digs, and it was equally as lovely, clean and welcoming. It is decorated with a simple tastefulness that is very nice. Christina is very good about communicating and answering questions, very reliable and efficient. Thanks again, Christina!"
3911693,23105106,2014-11-23,22676915,Gabe,Great place to stay if you're visiting Austin. Short drive to all the best places in town! Christina was a great host and was quick to answer all questions.
3911693,23555257,2014-12-04,11561416,Chris,"This was a great place to stay and very convenient for getting to meetings in the north of the city. Taxis were easily obtained and prompt.
The house is recently updated in a comfortable and modern decor.
It was a real pleasure to meet Christina and I look forward to returning on my next trip to Austin."
3911693,23815842,2014-12-11,16429574,Gail,"We love staying at Deluxe DIgs because we have grown to really appreciate how clean and tidy everything is, and how the kitchen has all the basics for cooking. Christina is a very thoughtful host and tries to make her guests feel comfortable and welcome. "
3911693,23980104,2014-12-15,11804073,Tyson,The Deluxe Digs is an enjoyable place to stay. The place is very clean on arrival. The house was exactly as describe. It is located about a $10-$15 taxi from 6th street (where a lot of good bars are). Street noise is a slight concern as it is right next to a highway. Highly recommend it.
3911693,24264544,2014-12-24,10979482,Kevin,Another great stay!
3911693,24432520,2014-12-28,9623996,Christina,"The location was convenient and clean, and Christina had everything in tip-top shape.  As other reviewers have said, it's very close to Mopac, and can be a tad noisy, but we (including our 3 month old) slept through the night just fine!"
3911693,24644017,2015-01-01,1426300,Kasey,We had a lovely stay at Christina's Deluxe Digs! Christina was super quick to communicate and very thorough. We made a last minute request and Christina was kind enough to respond to us incredibly quickly even though it was a holiday. She is a fantastic host and we hope to stay here again during our next Austin trip!
3911693,25045352,2015-01-05,22105738,Nelly,"The space was stylish, clean, and Christina thought of everything we might need and had it on hand. The space was so great that we even considered just staying in one of the nights we were there, and it's Austin, people, the whole point is to go out!  The neighborhood is very residential, so it's great for a quiet weekend getaway. Plus, it's a quick uber or taxi ride away from the downtown. (There is also ample parking if you are arriving by car.)  I would definitely go back. We are already planning our next trip! Thanks for a great stay Christina!"
3911693,25211828,2015-01-09,16429574,Gail,"Once again, all was perfect at Deluxe Digs. Christina does a great, consistent job of keeping the place clean, tidy, and stocked with everything I need."
3911693,25276408,2015-01-11,18071798,Dinah,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Deluxe Digs. It was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, very comfortable, and was well-equipped with all the comforts of home. Christina was very quick to communicate with me by email. I got around via Uber which worked out fairly well from the location. However next time, it would probably work better to rent a car. "
3911693,25435833,2015-01-16,137939,Jim,Christina sent us an email with the necessary code to enter.  We found that the property was very clean and as advertised.  The location was terrific for our needs and easy to navigate.  We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
3911693,25558484,2015-01-19,2007367,Alexander,"Christina's place was very pleasant to stay in. The bed was really comfy and to quote Azis Ansari, the sheets were so smooth it ""like sleeping in lotion.""

Location is convenient for getting to downtown without the craziness of downtown. Only downside location wise is proximity to the freeway. If you're a light sleeper, the trucks at night might bother you.

I'll be looking to stay here again next time I'm in town."
3911693,25800870,2015-01-26,24208383,Carla,"Great, very cute place.  Looks just like the photos.  Well stocked with everything you would need.  We had a very comfortable stay.  "
3911693,25967875,2015-01-31,16429574,Gail,"Deluxe Digs is a great place to stay and has everything one might need. Clean, comfortable and a great location. Christina is a great communicator and very easy to work with."
3911693,26259061,2015-02-08,16862483,Rich,"Stayed at the Deluxe Digs for 2 nights.

The duplex is very well appointed, modern and clean with a full kitchen. The chocolate bar left for arriving guests is a nice touch. Plenty of room. The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower had plenty of water pressure.

The location of the house is directly adjacent to the Interstate (meaning less than 50"") and there is substantial road noise from traffic and trains passing every few hours. 

The window heater/air conditioners muffled the noise quite a bit (producing a white noise effect) and I did not have trouble sleeping. If you require an absolutely silence this place would not be for you. 

The only improvement I could recommend is a skylight or portal to allow additional light into the living/dining area. 

Over all a great property and value. Christina was very flexible (allowed me to check in a few hours early) and communication was responsive and timely.

Thank you."
3911693,26420819,2015-02-12,2760077,Vern How,"We had a blast staying at Deluxe Digs. Its located just close to downtown and if you are someone who enjoys a quiet nights rest this is it. Christina was very professional in that the place was spic and span and you have everything you need even if you've just arrived late in the evening. Its too bad we didn't get a longer stay here at the place for it would have been even better for us. She was also kind enough to text and guide us and welcomed us to contact her for any needs during our stay. Austin and DD is just amazing. Thank you much! Love, Vern&Cindy"
3911693,26522229,2015-02-15,22017392,Stephanie,"Christina's place was very charming- well decorated, very clean, and a convenient driving distance to all the places we wanted to see! Would definitely recommend! "
3911693,26986336,2015-02-23,2858713,Michaela,"The space was tidy and welcoming, and Christina was an incredible host. Great experience."
3911693,27205793,2015-02-28,25871105,Maddie,Christina made us feel very welcome with the info she provided about the stay.  It was everything we expected. 
3911693,27371387,2015-03-02,28289050,Melanie,Great little apartment. Combo lock so you don't have to meet up to exchange keys was so convenient. Only downside is traffic/train noise. 
3911693,27467583,2015-03-05,27279851,Kurt,"The place is well appointed and very clean. The apartment comes with most anything you could need including kitchen utensils, bathroom toiletries/towels, washer/driver and very comfy bed. Safe area in a great neighborhood minutes from lots of cool areas in Austin. Definitely a great option for your Austin stay!"
3911693,27577473,2015-03-08,25973705,Jessica,The place was everything and more. Was very clean and all the little details made for a comfy stay!
3911693,27827450,2015-03-13,21560304,Audrey,"In town for a conference, I found this charming apartment and knew it would be perfect for my needs.  This mid-century duplex is located on the edge of a charming tree-lined neighborhood, perfect for leisurely walks or morning jogs.

The flat was even better than the photos show, as it was super clean, with all new appliances, bathroom fixtures and tasteful, contemporary decoration.  It was well-stocked with extra linens and towels, shampoo and laundry detergent for the washing machine.  I appreciated the fast wifi, ironing board and large coffeemaker!

While there was a little bit of road noise from the nearby highway and train, it never bothered this light sleeper (the bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from that anyway).  I always felt comfortable and relaxed falling asleep in high quality linens atop a super-comfy bed.

Christina was very responsive, friendly and accommodating.  Details for the flat were not left to chance, and before my arrival, she provided the wifi password and door combination, which were also written on a notepad in the apartment.

I enjoyed my week-long stay here and even imagined what it would be like to live here permanently!  I fell in love here and you will too."
3911693,28311716,2015-03-22,3942187,John,"Great place! Kept very clean, very fresh and nice feeling inside, the pictures feel right. Worst I can say is if you're in the living room there is street and train noise, it's on a dead end street, and the WiFi was too weak for Chromecast to work. Minor things really for such nice digs that aren't too far from downtown."
3911693,28925441,2015-04-01,24450801,Joe,"The listing was accurate and the neighborhood was much as expected. The ""Digs"" are very conveniently located for downtown and the place is a perfect size for two. The accommodation was spotless and well equipped in many respects. The kitchen is great but inadequately equipped for those who choose to cook evening meals. 
Despite this inadequacy we would use the ""Digs"" again."
3911693,29107269,2015-04-04,15790178,Alison,It was great! Easy to check in and the house is really cute.
3911693,30213581,2015-04-19,29109329,Elanie,This was a great place. Loved everything about it.
3911693,30565735,2015-04-24,24948217,Ricky,"Our first time in Austin couldn't have been better. The location was really nice in and around a super beautiful neighborhood. You could make a day out of just walking/biking around the beautiful houses if you wanted. We also really preferred the automatic check-in/check-out with the key code so we didn't have to fumble around with a key! I think every house in the world should have this.

The space itself is as described (efficient and beautiful). The bed is comfy. The pillows were perfect. Christina left us plenty of extras in case we needed them. It was nice having laundry access as well. I should also note that the place was impeccably clean when we arrived. I'm a fan of small spaces in general, and I'm glad to have found such a well laid out, efficient space in TEXAS! 500 sqft. of space is huge when it isn't wasted like most places are.

Noise wasn't an issue at all. Even being next to a busy highway, we didn't notice the traffic at all. I was really surprised by this. The only thing you will notice is a train, but it doesn't come very often and, again, isn't that big of a deal.

We really came to love the location itself, being at the end of a residential road, and the ease of access to downtown. We felt adventurous on the first day and walked to UT campus, the capital, and then down through South Congress all the way to Hopdoddy, then caught a Lyft back (I'd recommend this!).

Very sad to have left! Next time we are in Austin, we'll check and see if Christina's places are available FIRST!"
3911693,30661626,2015-04-26,5317412,Dan,Christina's house was beautiful - very clean and modern and in a wonderful location for our visit. Easy walk to the shoal path and West  campus. Christina provided great and on time instructions on how to enter the house. Looking forward to staying again on our next visit!
3911693,31339270,2015-05-04,28770771,Robin,This was such a cute little apartment. It was very cozy and comfortable and downtown Austin was easily accessible from the location. We would definitely return.
3911693,31562237,2015-05-06,32541706,Adam,"Everything was awesome, exactly like the pictures showed. Loved the location, secluded but close enough for a cheap cab/uber ride to downtown. Would definitely stay again!"
3911693,31952276,2015-05-12,27958804,Becky,"We had a great experience at the Deluxe Digs! The place is cute, clean and perfectly accommodating. All the amenities were easy to find. It's situated in a peaceful residential area, and all of our destinations around Austin with either walkable or a short Uber ride away. 

Thanks, Christina! We hope to be back soon! 

"
3911693,32376332,2015-05-17,31754953,Kyle,Christina home was absolutely perfect. It is in an amazing little neighborhood that is close to everything in Austin. The interior is exactly like the pictures and the experience was better then I expected. 
3911693,32802201,2015-05-21,19548901,Scott,Superhost! 
3911693,32983503,2015-05-24,30613989,Connor,"Great, cozy place near downtown. Everything was provided for and Christina was very thorough in taking care of all our needs. I would definitely stay again. "
3911693,33676456,2015-05-31,30701463,Sarah,"Deluxe Digs was a quiet, cozy escape perfect for our trip to Austin!  The house has plenty of amenities, including a full kitchen, and is comfortable and spacious.  We loved the quick access to MoPac and ten-minute trip to downtown.  We highly recommend and will be back again!"
3911693,34310301,2015-06-07,875227,Christine,"We enjoyed our stay at Deluxe Digs. It is a lovely space with thoughtful details. It was very clean, modern, and the bed was comfortable. Very convenient for getting around to all the places we were visiting. As the apartments is closed to Mopac/train - we noticed a little noise at night from the train but it honestly was not at all a bother and we slept well.
Christina communicated well and it was easy to find and access. We would definitely recommend this space and would definitely stay again!"
3911693,35598996,2015-06-20,35248140,Eloisa,"Deluxe Digs was the perfect stay for our Austin Trip.  I loved the home; it was so cute and very comfortable.  The pictures of the listing are very accurate, but in person the place is adorable!  The neighborhood was quiet, no problems or issues.  My main plus was that it was close to the UT Campus.  Definitely recommend this place.

Thank you!"
3911693,36131878,2015-06-25,32559310,Daniela,"The listing was totally accurate; it's a comfortable place, nicely equipped. There was some road / train noise, but not too bad. We'd be happy to stay here again and are happy to recommend it. Thanks Christina!"
3911693,36385341,2015-06-28,943499,Krystle,Christina was easy to communicate with and provided detailed instructions for the check in. Deluxe Digs is a comfy and cozy little spot in a nice neighborhood and 10 minutes from downtown. Pictures were accurate and the place is super tidy and clean. I would definitely recommend it!
3911693,37311183,2015-07-06,32429793,Jeremy,"Had an amazing time in Austin and that overall experience was made in better by staying at Christina's home. It was just as pictured, very comfortable, included toiletries, all the appliances you'd get at home, and located in a charming neighborhood in a central part of Austin. I'd definitely come back here. "
3911693,38008472,2015-07-12,6263196,Sascha,"Deluxe Digs is everything one could ask for in an Air BnB experience--clean, comfortable, space as expected with several amenities, great location, and a host that is easy to communicate with. 

The location has everything you can ask for: a kitchen with all the necessary cooking utensils so we were able to cook meals. The freezer even has ice trays. There is an iron and iron board as well which came in handy as we prepped for the wedding we were in town for.  

To reiterate what's stated in other reviews, we did not hear any noise from the highway. Occasionally, we could briefly hear the train pass by, but it was a distant sound. If you pass on this location because of the concern of noise, you will be missing out greatly. 

This was my boyfriend's first Air BnB experience-he was skeptical of the entire concept, but Deluxe Digs made him a fan. 

P.S. The key-less entry rocks! "
3911693,38924675,2015-07-19,37889026,Kayla,"Deluxe Digs was an amazing experience. As a first time Airbnb user, Christina met all my expectations and was prompt and communicative. Although we met never met in person, I felt like she was easily accessible if needed. The location a perfect a launching place for exploring Austin and I would definitely book again "
3911693,39887753,2015-07-26,1930834,John,"Christina's place was very nice and located in a great location for exploring Austin. I heard the train once and it was not noisy at all. The neighborhood feels very safe and the central location is convenient. The washer and dryer unit was greatly appreciated. Christina is very prompt with replies and her check in instructions basically covered everything. Didn't have any issues arise. Overall, I had a wonderful time at Deluxe Digs and would stay again next time in Austin."
3911693,40677912,2015-08-01,39557447,Cynthia,Christina was great! Contacted me right away and provided detailed and easy to follow check in details.  The place was just like the description and pictures provided.  Nice neighborhood - conveniently located but neighborhood itself quiet and peaceful.  Liked the decor and comfy bed after a long day in Austin.  Definitely recommend and will be back again soon!
3911693,40928170,2015-08-03,3605326,Crystal,This apartment is private (we never saw or heard the guests on the other side of the duplex) and located near some major roads for easy access to South Austin and Downtown. It's exactly as pictured and very clean. We had some questions about various things around the apartment and Christina answered messages promptly. 
3911693,41486980,2015-08-07,39557447,Cynthia,Another great stay at Deluxe Digs. Very much enjoyed my stay and quiet neighborhood. 
3911693,41776117,2015-08-09,36003108,Alexandra,"We had a fantastic time at Delux Digs! The pictures do not do the house justice. The entire place was immaculate; it felt as though we were the first people to ever have stayed there. Location is perfect for anything you would want to do in Austin and the area felt very private and safe in a nice neighborhood. The bed was extremely comfortable and despite the temperature being in the high 90's/ low 100's all weekend, the house stayed very cool and comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again for our next trip to Austin! "
3911693,42424781,2015-08-13,38004291,Jill,"Apartment was immaculately clean and in a great location. It looked exactly as pictured online. If I'm in the area in the future, I would definitely stay here again! "
3911693,43679503,2015-08-21,10564550,Brittany,Christina was easy to work with and very nice! We never met in person but she was always super fast at responding to our messages. The duplex was great! We LOVED having a washer and dryer and the location was perfect! It's so close to downtown.The duplex is located right beside Mopac but the traffic was never loud. We really enjoyed staying here! 
3911693,45819142,2015-09-06,40444249,Garvey,Thank you for having us. We had a great stay. Very nice place and everything we needed was provided. 
3911693,46515879,2015-09-11,42147964,Alexis,We had a wonderful experience in Austin last week! The place was beautiful and it was very centrally located. Christina was very helpful and ensured we were comfortable and happy throughout our stay. I'd definitely stay here again.
3911693,46764217,2015-09-13,9774475,Kathleen,"What a welcoming, gracious host! I didn't get to meet or see Christina, but she was very communicative and warm. There are a lot of great little accommodations that made my stay there really wonderful. The duplex is located right next to a railway and major highway, but I honestly, did not notice it.  You're just a couple of miles away from everything, so you have the options without all the craziness. If I could, I would definitely live there! I'll have to settle for visiting again. "
3911693,47267842,2015-09-17,31881525,Kathleen,House was clean and newly updated.  Getting to/in was very easy with provided directions.  The house had everything I needed and I plan to stay here again in the future.  Thanks for making it so easy!
3911693,47688294,2015-09-21,20666967,Fernanda,"Great location and very well equipped home! Full kitchen, laundry, air conditioning, parking lot and nice living room. Perfect size for a couple."
3911693,48401129,2015-09-26,40814472,Brittany,This place was awesome. It was tucked away in a very nice neighborhood. We enjoyed looking at all of the beautiful houses that surrounded the duplex. Checking in and out was a breeze and Christina was very pleasant. The outside of the duplex doesn't seem like much when you first arrive but the inside is beautiful and matches the quality in the photos. 
3911693,48851349,2015-09-28,35499781,Charity,This was a very lovely unit.  We brought our bikes and were close enough to downtown and lady bird lake that we never drove anywhere!  The neighborhood next to the unit was full of mansions that we really enjoyed biking around and looking at.  Christina was fantastic and responsive.  Unit was clean and exactly as described.  Only thing I wish I knew was how close to the freeway and construction and train it was.  The air conditioner drowned out most of the noise but if you are bothered by noise it may be too loud for you.  We still loved our experience and would highly recommend it! 
3911693,49447475,2015-10-04,6717202,Alixandrea,Awesome little place in Austin! Close to everything and far enough to be quiet! We rented bikes and loved how close we were to the bike paths! We took them all the way to ACL and back! Thanks for sharing your little place with us. 
3911693,49952362,2015-10-07,2465644,Noah,"It was a great, quiet stay. The apartment had everything I needed. I especially appreciated the washer and dryer."
3911693,50285461,2015-10-11,40328956,Justin,"Really enjoyed staying at the cottage while in town for ACL!!! Quite neighborhood area... walking distance to the park trails... Perfect! Will definitely look at its availability in the future. We just walked but would suggest bringing bikes. The city is very bike friendly and this location is great for having a ""home base"" when biking around the city. "
3911693,51768269,2015-10-24,20276022,Yohannah,Christina's rental was clean and conveniently located. It was a pleasure to stay here.
4191216,20398219,2014-09-28,3907113,Brittany,"My experience with Top Trip was amazing; I was in contact with multiple people within the company and all were very professional and responded in a timely manner which was great since our reservation was short notice. 

The location of this apt was amazing, walking distance to everything including 6th St, other downtown bars and nightlife, South Congress Area, Rainey St and a bunch of restaurants and food carts. As everyone mentions, because it is on 6th St, it does stay loud until early morning but nothing that ear plugs can't fix. Also, Top Trips double checked with us prior to booking that we were aware of potential noise issues so we didn't have any surprise. I appreciated their honesty with this. 

The place itself is very clean and spacious. It had everything we needed including a full kitchen with fridge, and plenty of bath towels.

Overall, great location, spacious and clean unit, and amazing Top Trip staff. "
4191216,20797731,2014-10-05,21899660,Phillip,"Great experience , helpful host , friendly and made my ACL weekend perfect. I definitely recommend  Top Trip, look forward to using them again in the future. "
4191216,21011083,2014-10-09,15147474,Rachel,"The place is great!  It is right in the heart of 6th Street, so be ready to hear music until late into the night.  The pictures are accurate and Top Trip Rentals is professional and quick to respond to questions."
4191216,22313065,2014-11-03,22150928,David,Good place to stay - right on 6th Street - be aware of the street noise until 2am or later - excellent customer service.
4191216,23044539,2014-11-21,2465366,Eddie,Very pretty big house in a convenient location. 
4191216,23720524,2014-12-08,499197,Sean,"Top Trip has a great team. They responded very quickly via phone and email. They were clear that there's noise on the street outside this unit. It's a manageable level of noise if you are familiar with city living.

I'm not a fan of the extra legal agreement that came with the listing. You've got to jump through hoops after you reserve the unit to complete the reservation. The agreement is not friendly and puts some restrictions on what you can and can't do, who you can have over, etc.

I'm also not a fan of bugs in the kitchen. The first unit we stayed in for this trip had a pretty serious ant problem. I killed 50+ or so of those little black ants that get in kitchens with my hands. The next unit (down the hall) was better. I still ran into a few ants, and then saw a couple beetles in some trail mix I'd left closed on the kitchen counter. It's possible the beetles were in the trail mix when I bought it at Whole Foods, but I'd not be surprised if they are in the unit, given the ants.

For two people spending $100 a night each (total cost, including AirBnB fees over 7 nights) I expect a bit more. I'm all for positivity and good feelings in the sharing economy, but things don't work without some honest reviews."
4191216,24166615,2014-12-21,24873725,Michelle,"This. Was. Amazing. I was definitely surprised by how spacious the entire loft was, and it was perfect for our party size. I definitely appreciated how ""at home"" it felt - cups, mugs, dishwasher, cleaning supplies, everything! I felt like I was in my own apartment. The location was also a huge plus. We literally walked on to 6th street, and I found myself feeling extremely lucky while overlooking the view of Austin with my best friend and husband. 

I also appreciated the ease of check in/check out. While it felt a bit awkward that I didn't check in with anyone, it was much easier than expected and gave me one less thing to stress about.

The only con would be that there were some bugs in the kitchen and bathroom. However, I'm from South Texas, and I understand that those things happen and sometimes, we just deal with it! It wasn't much of a bother anyway, since we were out most of the night.

We really enjoyed our stay, and I appreciated the help of Calyn with answering all of my questions in an incredibly timely manner. The reservation experience with Top Trip Rentals was one of the best I've experienced. Definitely top notch.

Thanks y'all!

"
4191216,25116659,2015-01-06,25440003,Adam,"I am so incredibly satisfied with this listing. Amazing location, especially if you want to enjoy 6th street. The flat itself struck a wonderful balance between cozy and trendy. The owner was very friendly and was ready for our arrival right at check-in time. I had high hopes for how nice this listing would be, and I was still blown away. Can't reccomend enough!"
4191216,25216285,2015-01-09,862666,Andrew,Grreat location and communication.  Friendly detailed interaction and accurate description and disclaimers for street noise and construction.  Great value.  Reminded me of being in university (in a good way).
4191216,30667015,2015-04-26,27015871,Christopher,"The staff was VERY welcoming. Right when we walked up, there was a happy hour in the lobby! Communication was great - we were notified prior to our arrival that there was significant construction (unfortunately too late for us to find alternate accommodations) and staff was very responsive to questions and comments (the AC in the upstairs loft wasn't working despite switching on vs auto and flipping the breaker, but we mentioned it right away and the thermostat was replaced the next day). The main advantage of this location is that the main bars of sixth street are outside the door - so it was a perfect setup for a party weekend. However, I have to mention that there were some stains on the bedsheets and body fluid-colored stains on the non-washable throw pillows which made the apartment feel dirty. Although the price of the apartment was a fraction of the cost of other accommodations, not sure it was worth the construction either. While I wouldn't return to this location until the renovations are done, I would book again at others managed by this group in a heartbeat."
4191216,35216018,2015-06-16,31618691,Lisa,"Great location! There definitely was noise at night, although it didn't keep us up since we were out late as well. The beds weren't the comfiest, but the AC was great and there were plenty of amenities. "
4191216,35497261,2015-06-19,19472887,Muhammad,"Great location, great loft. Everything was as advertised. The host were approachable, and ready to help. I had all the info before I arrived, and on time. 

Will definition recommend it to friends and stay here again in the future! "
4191216,36349351,2015-06-27,21253304,Alina,"The loft was beautiful and right on 6th street. The communication with the team was very efficient and helpful. I was made aware before arriving that it might be a little noisy, due to its central location, but this didn't bother us at all. The loft was very clean and even provides towels, shampoo and other toiletries. I would definitely stay again! "
4191216,37566227,2015-07-08,33136745,Bob,"Good:

1. Great location.

2. Good air conditioning.

3. Adequate kitchen space.

4. Enough hot water for an army.  :)  In fact, be a bit careful of the hot water in the bathroom: It's quite hot.

5. Comfortable beds.

Not-so-good:

1. Wi-Fi was slow and unreliable. I had better connectivity by, um, ""borrowing"" the Wi-Fi a nearby (website hidden): The unit didn't have cable TV. It had Roku TV. That means, among other things, no access to the usual channels that one expects to find. And the slow WiFi made the Roku experience even worse.

4191216,40506526,2015-07-31,38812161,Anthony,great location great stay we were so happy we choose this place.
4191216,40699070,2015-08-01,26846808,Elisa,"Top Trip sent all the info I needed and more, including dining suggestions and parking tips.  They warned about possible disturbance from the 6th Street nightlife, but it wasn't an issue."
4191216,46795995,2015-09-13,3166248,Zaks,The Top Trip Rentals team was very well organized in advance of our stay and the place was clean and exactly what we were looking for.  This is also incredibly convenient to the 6th street scene in Austin.
4191216,48214250,2015-09-24,43439890,Deanna,"Amazing place, extremely central location, I could not have asked for a better stay."
4191216,48970238,2015-09-29,23258521,Matty,Absolutely loved it! Everything was as expected and pristine.
4191216,50451106,2015-10-12,2512453,Paul,This place is literally right in the heart of downtown. You will be footsteps away from amazing live music and incredible food. Highly recommended! 
1013629,27707373,2015-03-09,28885375,Clayton,"Yvonne was very prompt in getting back to us to let us know that the room was available for the following night. We showed up when it was almost dark, so could not see the surrounding area that well.  Yvonne welcomed us when we arrived and showed us to the room, which has a private bathroom.  Very comfortable room, clean and nicely decorated.  She obviously likes to travel, as there are maps from different countries on the wall. The room is on the side of the home, so it was quiet, and we barely heard the street noise.
Our son lives really close to Yvonne's home which made our stay even more convenient.  My husband and I would definitely stay there again when we next travel to Austin"
1013629,27900593,2015-03-14,1346345,Zack,Yvonne and Cameron were awesome hosts! Yvonne picked me up from the airport and they shared delicious vegan tacos with me - amazing hospitality. Great advice on the area as well. They also have a very nice and inviting home. Only wish I could have stayed longer. Highly recommended for a stay in Austin! Thanks Yvonne and Cameron!
1013629,28326310,2015-03-22,9098734,Adam,Absolutely lovely air BnB stay in a fantastic location in Austin. The couple couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful and are genuinely good souls. Couldn't recommend enough 
1013629,28638462,2015-03-27,26076232,Gerald,"My stay at Yvonne's was exactly what I was looking for! Her place was awesome and extremely clean. Yvonne has a great personality, and was very welcoming! She was also more than willing to answer any questions or recommend me a place to eat. Thank you again Yvonne!"
1013629,29518740,2015-04-08,22701192,Michelle,"Don't be alarmed if I gush, but Yvonne and Cameron are beyond fantastic hosts.
I had the pleasure of spending almost two weeks in their brilliant home getting to know them.
They are creative smart people who are both passionate about what they do and I very much enjoyed conversations with them.
They shared their home, some brilliant vegan meals, a great bike and their time and knowledge of Austin with me.
Great bedroom and your own bathroom.
Home is super close to a supermarket (where you can also buy local bus passes) and a short walk to good coffee. Plenty of restaurants too, just ask for their advice.
I mostly walked and rode the city which is easy to do from their home; there are also bus stops nearby if you prefer.
You cannot go wrong choosing this as your airbnb base in Austin!!!
"
1013629,29857790,2015-04-13,24901273,Maria,"Cam and Yvonne were wonderful hosts!  They were incredibly accommodating of my late-night arrival and were very communicative and friendly leading up to and throughout my stay.  Their neighborhood is very bike-friendly, so it was great to have use of their extra bike while I was there.  They are also half a block from a grocery store--very convenient for grabbing a quick snack or ingredients for dinner.  Yvonne and Cam gave great recommendations of restaurants, bakeries, and sights and were also just fun, fascinating people to get to know.  I would definitely stay with them again on a return visit and would happily recommend them as hosts. "
1013629,30323002,2015-04-20,29746583,Jennifer,"The East side was a brilliant place for my first trip to Austin, especially because Yvonne was so kind to let me borrow a bike. I did not have to take a cab once on my trip which made my wallet quite happy.  I am a vegetarian and Yvonne (very excitedly) wrote out a list of restaurants and bars she thought I'd enjoy. She was so spot on! I ate dinner at Counter Culture and visited a few of the coffee shops and bars she recommended and I felt right at home. My room was clean with its own bathroom. Both Yvonne and Cameron were very friendly and accommodating. I would highly recommend booking with these folks! "
1013629,30430181,2015-04-21,29102861,Jenna,Yvonne and her husband were so kind and welcoming! Not to mention that their home is gorgeous and sweet as pie. It was a complete pleasure and I would definitely love to stay with them again :) 
1013629,30991917,2015-04-30,27373946,Tif,"Yvonne & Cameron were amazing hosts! The house is great, super comfortable bed and the porch became our favorite place to rest after a long day of wandering Austin. The location is a dream; walking distance to some of the best food and drinks. 

The bikes they had available to us made our trip to Barton Spring Pool a breeze and allowed us to check out the awesome trails that the city has. "
1013629,31362826,2015-05-04,9683583,Michael,"This was only my second AirBNB experience and it could not have been better.  My hosts, Yvonne and Cameron made my east Austin trip very special.  They went above and beyond expectations to ensure that I had a fantastic experience.  The room was excellent and the location was right in the heart of the action in East Austin and was exactly what I was looking for.  Cameron spent the time to set me up with a fantastic bike and Yvonne provided hand written maps to some of the best bicycling spots around Austin!  All in all, top rated AirBNB hosts and I would definitely book here if you are looking for a great place to stay with great people!  "
1013629,31943775,2015-05-12,24231248,Umanga,"Yvonne and Cameron were amazing! They were very responsive and accommodating. They gave us names of really good restaurants and other near by places to visit. The location is great! Lots of cute little mom and pop shops, food trucks, bars and restaurants. We walked to most places from their place. Also, only a 10 minute ride from the airport. I would highly recommend them for an Air B&B stay in Austin!"
1013629,32689831,2015-05-20,30231193,Lea,"Yvonne and Cameron were very lovely and welcoming. Their house was very cute and the room was very nice and spacious, although it could get a bit hot at night. The location was good, downtown is walkable if it is not too hot outside. By car it is about a 5 minute drive. Yvonne and Cameron were accommodating to our requests and we would definitely stay there again."
1013629,32851015,2015-05-22,5370156,Romain,"We came in late after driving all the way from New Orleans. Yvonne and her husband welcomed us warmly and recommended a great restaurant (Lamberts). We just spend the night there before hitting the road again, but would definitely come again when in Austin!
Their place is great and the room is cozy. "
1013629,33157379,2015-05-25,19806348,Meredith,We had a great experience at this beautiful home in Austin. Perfect location and Yvonne was great at communicating with us. Would stay here again. 
1013629,33332237,2015-05-26,5079930,Amy,"Yvonne and her husband have a lovely house and were really friendly and made me feel welcome. They let me use their nice, fast bike and I was able to get all over town and explore some trails and parks. I came back late and Yvonne came out to greet me. They really could not be more welcoming, they even gave me a ride and picked me up as a big storm was coming in. She helped me book my airport shuttle, was available on the phone when I had questions, was flexible about checking in and out at weird times, and they taught me a lot about the area. Also their place is really cute and full of vintage finds and books, but it's also clean and cozy. I felt like I was staying with friends. They are a little off the beaten path of the nightlife part of East Austin (though walkable) but close to a brewery, food truck, and easy walking distance of a lot of other fun places."
1013629,33635806,2015-05-30,34307150,Tom,"Yvonne and Cameron are wonderful hosts, and my stay with them was very enjoyable. They are both attentive and accommodating, yet relaxed and laid back. They know the surrounding area well, and made great restaurant recommendations. Their space is exactly as it's shown in the pictures, and very inviting. "
1013629,33887774,2015-06-01,29483432,Harriet,"Yvonne was absolutely amazing, and so was the experience. It was the most beautiful, clean, organised and comfortable house. With lovely decorations and touches. The bed was super comfortable I didn't want to leave.

Yvonne was helpful with places I could go to that suited me and went above and beyond with helping me with washing! 

The whole experience was perfect. And it was my first for Air BnB. HIGHLY recommended. 

"
1013629,34023994,2015-06-03,19044344,Isaac,Yvonne and Cam were awesome. They have a great place in a cool neighborhood. As soon as we got there they gave us a beer and started giving us tons of great suggestions for places to eat and things to see. Would definitely recommend them and their place.
1013629,34253217,2015-06-06,2643205,Manish,"The perfect AirBnB stay - everything you could possibly need is here. A great room that is very comfortable and stylish, fantastic location and above all a great set of hosts who will accommodate you in any way they can. I only wish I got to see more of Yvonne and Cameron but it's one of many excuses to come back to Austin. Don't hesitate to book."
1013629,34901397,2015-06-13,17207389,Shayda,"Yvonne was a lovely host- welcoming, kind, friendly, and full of great recommendations. Her home (which is so well-decorated and comfortable) is located in a safe, quaint neighborhood near East 6th- really close to a lot of great restaurants and bars. Our room was clean and beautiful, and she even provided a blow-up mattress so that my brother and I could have some space. The rooms definitely look like the pictures online, if not even better in person. I am definitely going to recommend her to my friends next time they are in Austin!"
1013629,35118486,2015-06-15,5196478,Jil,"Yvonne & Cameron were awesome hosts! They had great recommendations for coffee & food...2 important things :) Our room was very nice & comfortable. They thought of everything we may need, from extra towels to a beer opener. We'd love to stay again. Our Austin trip was made even better by staying with such friendly people."
1013629,35791914,2015-06-22,13577135,Edith,"A comfortable & quiet & cool (fan + aircon) room with cartography, bath & bikes in a charming cottage on a tucked-away street in the best diverse neighborhood -- East Austin. Yvonne and her husband were so welcoming and know all about Austin. We were in town for my reading at a bookstore + a wedding and we for sure had the best place to stay of all the wedding guests! We walked all over and explored amazing Eastside food & drink along E 6th and E Cesar Chavez. We would head for home at night across the train tracks with mango paletas from the cool store or hang out on the porch with a lemonade in the afternoon. Thanks, Y&C for getting summer 2015 off to such a marvelous start!"
1013629,36232115,2015-06-26,25094909,Yu-Ti,"The house is very beautiful and comfortable... but we're in a rush...or we'd like to spend more time here!! Yvonne is very kind and supportive, even though we are not able to meet, she provide all information we need.
It was a great experience to stay here. After all, If I could, I would like to have a great house like this."
1013629,36433242,2015-06-28,26919367,Marie,Yvonne's bungalow was everything I could have ever asked for! Everything was as cute as a picture and the room was super cozy. Bonus: I was able to learn how to ride a bicycle thanks to Yvonne's hospitality!
1013629,36816438,2015-07-01,14891178,Puli,"We enjoyed staying with Yvonne and Cameron and would recommend their place to others.  Cool location in east austin and within a short drive of downtown.  Also, the room offers great privacy with your own bathroom."

Definitely a good place to stay the night!"
1013629,37401837,2015-07-06,25325674,Sara,"She spent a lot of time chatting with us and giving us suggestions for places to go. They also never made us feel like we were intruding, even though the room was in their home. Very kind."
1013629,37540795,2015-07-07,30739994,Sneyha,Yvonne was very prompt with responding and accommodating. Although I did not have a chance to meet Yvonne but I met her husband Cameron who was very warm and welcoming. The place is very chic and charming with a boho feel. The room and bath area were clean and as described. I would definitely recommend them.
1013629,37615801,2015-07-08,5632350,Brandon,"These guys were super nice and accommodating. The house is beautiful and definitely represents Austin vibe. It doesn't hurt that it's really easy to get to the airport, not the case in NYC."
1013629,37906349,2015-07-11,35995863,Marguerite,Yvonne and her husband were very welcoming. They made us feel right at home. They also gave us awesome recommendations for food and activities around Austin! The bedroom looked exactly as it did in pictures and was extremely clean. The house is in a great location for exploring Austin. I hope to return to soon!!
1013629,38020602,2015-07-12,36078964,Cristina,"The place was perfect for what we needed for one night as we passed through Austin on our cross country road trip.  The husband was home when we arrived. He greeted us, gave us suggestions and a spare key to go in and out as we liked.

The room and bathroom were furnished in a beautiful and charming way. My friend and I felt very comfortable staying here."
1013629,38227680,2015-07-13,22481909,Alan,The neighborhood was in east Austin and much like my neighborhood in Dallas. Nice pleasant experience. 
1013629,38788210,2015-07-18,35029279,Jeff,"Great hosts!  Totally accommodating, let me use a bike, great local knowledge on restaurants, watering holes, etc.  "
1013629,39307202,2015-07-22,36639896,Samantha,Great experience staying at Yvonne's house. She and Cameron were so warm and provided everything we needed. The room and bathroom were so clean! Both rooms felt brand new. They left us sun screen and maps and gave us suggestions for some great bars in the area. We had a really great trip and loved the room we stayed in. 
1013629,40146001,2015-07-28,36936794,Victor,"My stay at Yvonne and Cameron's was amazing. Both were extremely kind, interesting talking to and had a lot of great tips that made my experience in Austin fantastic (especially regarding food).

The house is in a very nice neighborhood in east Austin. The room was clean, cozy and comfortable with AC and there was a bathroom too.

I did not have a car but they provided me with a bike which was extremely appreciable to enjoy what Austin has to offer.

I definitely highly recommend staying at Yvonne and Cameron's if you want to enjoy Austin !"
1013629,40633817,2015-08-01,11312972,Jihye,"What a great place to stay! I am so glad I stayed with Yvonne and Cameron! They were kind and prepared. The room was clean and charming just like the pictures. We only stayed for one night but definitely would like to go back and stay at their place again. It is surprisingly close from the airport! It is also close to a grocery store, bus stops and the great Austin cultured shops, food trucks and bars but if you don't want to walk, highly recommend uber. It may not be easy to catch a cab in the evening. Anyways, uber is more convenient and economical! 

Yes! Recommend, recommend, recommend!  "
1013629,40845651,2015-08-02,6326067,Jeanne,"I had a very pleasant stay in Austin. The room is nicely decorated with antiques, the bed is comfortable and the bathroom is just a step away.  Everything is very clean and as described. The location is very convenient and is just a turn away from the main street. I think it is a very nice touch that the host also offered a bike that I took advantage of."
1013629,41138628,2015-08-04,17428168,Emily,"Austin was such a fun city to visit. We were able to walk to many sites and restaurants. Our hosts were lovely and should I ever move to Austin, I would try and convince them to be my friends!"
1013629,42000193,2015-08-10,12416795,Cathy,"The home was so adorable and cozy!  We loved our room and it was great to have a private bathroom/shower.   Easy communication with the hosts, who are very sweet people!  They gave us some great recommendations.  We walked to a microbrewery they recommended and had some great tastings.  There is a lot to do near by and it is a very short trip into other parts of town.  Great place, I recommend it for sure! "
1013629,43077087,2015-08-17,36211638,Bj,"I had a very positive experience staying with Yvonne and Cameron.  They were there to meet me when I arrived and were very gracious in all aspects.  The room is separate from the actual house, which is nice, but they were very open with their place.  It's located near major roads, which made getting around easy, and it's conveniently close enough to downtown (I used Uber to head down to 6th one of the nights).  I would highly recommend staying at this location if you're traveling to Austin."
1013629,43992714,2015-08-23,13498467,Yael,"Yvonne and Cameron were super accommodating. The space is private in the back area of the main residence and comfy for two. They set up a binder of fun suggestions and answered any questions we had promptly. The area was close enough to yummy restaurants and bars, so we were able to walk a good deal of the time. Would definitely stay there again."
1013629,44357382,2015-08-25,15577779,Bill,"Yvonne and her husband were welcoming and charming. They guided us through the private walkway and the detached studio. 

They welcomed us to use the main house to hang out or use the kitchen. Also, they made it known that we shouldn't hesitate to ask if we needed anything... as they gave us their private number. But we left them to their privacy because we had all that we needed in their studio rental :)

The rental was cozy and felt like home. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the vintage furnishings in the studio. The bathroom was absolutely clean and updated. Towels, toiletries and even sunblock was provided. The shower and sink had good pressure and hot water. 

The bed was comfortable and soft.
The AC was somewhat loud but kept the temperature inside very comfortable...no different than a hotel's AC unit. The hardwood floors was a nice touch as I'm not big on carpet. The fridge works well and they left us a few water bottles which worked our for us on our adventures around Austin. There was a coffee machine and all the necessities to make and drink coffee. 

We loved the binder of locations and information they put together for the guests. It was awesome and informative. From ideas to make your stay better in Austin to places to eat around the area! They even included menus to the restaurants. 

The bike trail around Lady Bird lake was a few blocks away (5-10 minutes bike ride) and was easily accessible through bike lanes.

HEB grocery is only steps away (2-3 minutes walk). We loved that option to their location. 

They thought this out and made it extremely comfortable for us. We will absolutely stay again! 

Thanks!!!"
1013629,45189826,2015-08-31,42223008,Gisela,"Unfortunately did not meet Yvonne personally since we arrived while she was away; however, her husband was very friendly upon our arrival and helped us settle in just fine. Yvonne was available via messages throughout the weekend and responded in timely manner. They were kind enough to let us park in the driveway and left it available for us throughout the weekend. Thank you"
1013629,46128395,2015-09-08,12092959,Amber,"I arrived to the space with a friendly welcome from Cameron, and was led to a back studio space which was more than I expected (quite literally. The studio space wasn't available when I made my reservation months ago!).  

The space was super cute, clean, and had almost every comfort of a home (minus the ability to cook, but they did offer their own kitchen to do that in), as well as a cute binder with things to do and eat locally. 

The temperature was well in the 100's, but the space was kept cool by a wall unit air conditioner (kind of noisy, but you get used to it).

I loved the location, not quite near downtown (was about a 50 minute walk to downtown) but super close to bike shares, restaurants, and bars. It was also a 5 minute walk to a grocery store. 

I didn't get to meet Yvonne and only interacted with Cameron upon my arrival. Yvonne did make a point to check-in on me via messaging and see if I needed anything.

Overall this was a great space and I would highly recommend it to people who like quiet, solitude, minimal interaction with hosts, and a curiosity to explore the surrounding (and rapidly growing) areas of Austin. Definitely one of my favorite spaces yet!   "
1013629,46923867,2015-09-14,41507658,Eric,The room was clean and as cute as advertised.  We were close enough to the bars and restaurants and avoided too many cabs.  The city bikes close were convenient too.  Yvonne and her husband were helpful and even recommended a great live music venue.  Would do it all again!
1013629,48104578,2015-09-23,32753865,Kerri,Little garage apartment was adorable! Great location. Yvonne was very sweet and provided a binder with recommendations of places to go. Would definitely stay here again
1013629,48729648,2015-09-28,18259783,Eric,"The house looked just like the pictures that were posted on airbnb. The home had everything you needed for a weekend stay, and was very clean. Yvonne was a great host, we arrived to Austin a few hours earlier than expected, and she still allowed us to check in. Yvonne also provided us with some restaurant recommendations that were very helpful. The place was less than a 5 minute ride to Downtown / 6th street. When I visit Austin again, I will most definitely be a repeat guest."
1013629,49451757,2015-10-04,24804041,Olivia,We had a great stay with Yvonne and Cameron! The room was really cool despite how hot it was outside. We hired bikes from the city and rode everywhere - highly recommend doing that in Austin. We'll definitely be back if we come to Texas again! 
1013629,50288059,2015-10-11,31531785,Sara,Yvonne and Cameron's place is perfect for an Austin visit. In a quiet street but walkable distance from bars and restaurants and a three-minute drive from downtown. The room and bathroom are beautifully decorated and very clean. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it!
1013629,50632483,2015-10-13,16241351,Jerry,"Absolutely perfect for 1 person! Yvonne and Cameron's detached studio is a fantastic private spot away from the busier parts of town but close to a lot of the established AND up-and-coming restaurants/coffeeshops/bars in Austin.

Almost every amenity is available, the bathroom is clean/has good water pressure, and the bike is a godsend in Austin - less than 10 minutes to Downtown, 20-ish to Zilker, and no worries about parking your car (of course you could Uber/Lyft anywhere - Austin's pretty compact).

Can't rave about this place enough!"
1013629,51126365,2015-10-18,37897026,Nick,We had an excellent stay at Yvonne's place! Very quiet location walking distance to many bars and restaurants in East Austin. Always had parking available. Wifi worked great as we were able to watch Netflix every day. I would definitely recommend for a quiet romantic getaway for any couple!
1013629,51458116,2015-10-20,43931698,Alli,"This was our first trip to Austin, TX and we had a wonderful stay at Yvonne's. The private room and guest house was so cute, so clean, so Austin, and the perfect retreat to unwind at the end of our days of exploring.

The neighborhood was awesome and these lodgings are a safe walking distance to the food trucks, music, bars, and sights on 6th street. To other areas of the city, it was a quick Uber or drive. Yvonne left a notebook of recommendations and neighborhood favorites that were spot on--we loved the tips! We would definitely stay here again. "
1013629,52220414,2015-10-27,18459641,Troy,This could not have been a more perfect place to stay during the Formula 1 weekend! A great neighbourhood with the best restaurants and bars and coffee in the city. Downtown was only a pleasant 40 minute walk and Yvonne was an excellent host even offering an umbrella during the one of the rare rainy times that Austin gets. I don't see how you can go wrong with this place. 
7836824,45005425,2015-08-30,21825094,William,Lovely (and clean!) house in a great location. Stephanie and her roommate were wonderful hosts and I was sad to leave.
7836824,46991405,2015-09-14,7165753,Jason,"Stephanie was a great host. Handy little location very near lots of awesome food trucks and very near downtown Austin. 

The house itself was great. Lots of amenities and super comfy bed. "
7836824,47438443,2015-09-18,42080924,Randy,"The host was very welcoming.  We only met breifly and spent a few minutes talking.  While some will find this home quaint, it might have been a little rustic for me.  And I would sugest the outside be more well lit."
7836824,47844082,2015-09-21,1630480,Liz,Stephanie answered my questions pre-arrival and accommodated our late check-in. We didn't interact much because my boyfriend and I had to leave the next morning but she seemed really nice and her place has a cool style. Would recommend!
7836824,48595570,2015-09-27,43872699,Rodolpho,The host was very thoughtful and went beyond expectations in making me feel welcome. The description was accurate and the neighborhood is fine. The place is charming!
7836824,48770003,2015-09-28,21372208,Sunny,"Adorable, funky old house. We loved the atmosphere. Nice kitties, but watch out. I left my car door open to run in and grab something I forgot, and we almost had a stowaway! The location is excellent, but I would suggest being aware of the stadium schedule, so you don't get caught in game traffic. The bed was comfortable. I thought that being right by 35 would keep me awake at night, because I'm a really light sleeper, but the air-conditioner made enough white noise that we slept great. I would definitely stay there again. Good communication with our hostess(es), in spite of Stephanie being out-of-pocket. Thanks! "
7836824,49267660,2015-10-02,29279025,Adam,"What a great house! I always think of a place to stay when out of town as ""just a bed,"" but there was so much more to it. I enjoyed sitting in the living room before starting each day just absorbing all the style and love that's been put into the house. The location is perfect! I never spent more than $7 getting where I needed to. Stay here if you ever have the chance. Stephanie is a wonderful host who is very attentive and responsive, even going out of her way to make sure everything is perfect."
7836824,50656086,2015-10-13,28655501,Nicole,"Swede Hill and Stephanie were very nice. The space was clean, welcoming and inviting. 
We didn't see much of Stephanie, which was fine as we had a busy trip but the interactions we did have were very friendly. 
The bed was not very comfortable but that is my only complaint. "
7836824,52228215,2015-10-27,13604539,Emilie,Nous avons passé un excellent séjour chez Stéphanie. La maison était bien entretenue et la chambre confortable et plutôt calme malgré l'autoroute à proximité. Nous n'avons eu la chance de croiser Stéphanie qu'une seule fois en raison de nos emplois du temps différents mais nous avons communiqué très facilement quelles que soient nos questions. 
8570380,49725410,2015-10-05,44663652,Tom,"Clayton was a great host and his house was perfect for our party of 10.  He was flexible, welcoming, and provided us with many little perks like a few bottles of wine.  The space was great, very open and well decorated with a peaceful back yard.  The location is close enough to downtown to make rideshares cheap and there are even some walkable places for convenience purchases/food.  I'd happily stay here again.  "
5538443,27962677,2015-03-15,6350778,Michael,"Very convenient location. Quiet, clean, and very close to downtown. I would stay here again."
5538443,28147714,2015-03-18,27154013,Joe,Very close to downtown. The house is super clean. Everything feels brand new. Very nicely laid out and designed. Bonnie is super easy to communicate with and a great host. I arrived late at night and was pleasantly surprised to find delicious snacks to keep me from going hungry until the next day.
5538443,33041549,2015-05-24,33691695,Joe,Very nice and clean apartment/house with convenient location to downtown with off-street parking.  Situated in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to downtown area.  Appreciated that the coffee was stocked to make that first morning easy!  We like others arrived late but with the lockbox did not have to worry about that nor have Bonnie wait up for us.  Would gladly stay here again.
5538443,47708996,2015-09-21,40881205,Taylor,Bonnie was great and easy to work with. The house is very nice inside and worked perfect for what we needed.  It's only a few blocks away from the capital and 6th street. 
5538443,51997753,2015-10-25,40076097,Dan,"The cottage was perfect.  Not only was it beautiful, it is brand new and it's in a great location.  Bonnie was a terrific host.  I would 100% recommend staying at this location.  In fact, my girlfriend and I intend on coming back here next time we are in Austin.  "
8105584,46081113,2015-09-07,21615132,Michelle,"Wow!  What an amazing weekend!  First of all, Jay was such a wonderful host.  The place was beautiful, relaxing and complete perfection.  I was in search of a quiet weekend near Austin, with a pool, and I was given that and so much more!

The pool was perfect, and we were able to select our own music through their Sonos system.  The bed was extremely comfortable too!  

We had such a good time getting to know Jay and a few of his friends that were visiting as well.  We will definitely be coming back!"
8105584,46824917,2015-09-13,2971943,Nicolette,"Our stay at the guesthouse was phenomenal. The back-house guest area is very spacious, comfortable, private and beautifully decorated. Jay was a tremendous host, making us feel welcome and making our weekend trip extra special.  I'd visit again in a heartbeat. "
8105584,50483123,2015-10-12,28817441,Jasmine,Jonathan was out of town but Jay was there taking great care of us. I can't say enough good things about our experience. The space was clean and beautiful. Everything was exactly as described if not better! Jay was very friendly and helpful. We had an amazing time and hope to come back for another stay in the the future.
8105584,51802219,2015-10-24,6755070,Wilson And Marie,"The Guest Getaway was a perfect stay for me (Wilson). The house is located in a mellow neighborhood with friendly neighbors and while out for a walk, you may see a peacock or two. It's a few minutes drive to great restaurants and bars in Austin's ever-developing neighborhoods (ex. North Loop, Mueller, Hyde Park) and is within a few minutes drive to downtown. I recommend biking as that's always a funner way to see a city (~23 minutes to the popular E. 6th). 

The interior of the living room gets a good amount of natural light and gives a great view of their attractive pool. Lounging at home was easy and peaceful. The private patio has a little zen pond that is very relaxing to have a drink by but the property itself is surrounded by gorgeous flowers and foliage (arranged by Jay) and is worth a closer and slower look.

I had a lengthy work trip in Austin and Jonathan and Co. were very kind and accommodating to my crazy schedule (a special shout-out to my man, Jay!). Overall, I had an amazing stay and will be coming back to their place for future stays in Austin or at least to say hello to the friends that they've become. Thank you so much again for everything. "
5239779,28006765,2015-03-16,869270,Lisa,"I had a wonderful stay here! I arrived to clean apartment and a handwritten note. The hostess stocked the apartment with snacks, beverages as well as toiletries in the bathroom - a huge plus!! She was also very easy to get in contact with and was accommodating for an earlier check-in and later check-out. I'd highly recommend staying here!!

P.S. - She doesn't have a hair dryer, so bring one if you need it."
5239779,28130041,2015-03-18,27670555,Todd,"Location = Great, just far enough from midtown to open up my eyes to another part of Austin but just close enough to walk to the buzz.

Host Communication = Superb

Accommodation = Great deal for SXSW week, and great snacks provided (although I didn't take advantage)."
2994424,20519258,2014-09-30,21012570,Ben,"Had a brilliant time here, the house is amazing. Biggest bed iv ever slept in, brilliant shower palace room, incredible service and felt very welcome. We also got some great tips on places to visit. 10/10"
2994424,50424896,2015-10-12,18584248,Carol,"We had a terrific time at kaleido house-it had great space, was well appointed and ideally situated! Our hosts were very responsive! I would highly recommend!!"

517430,28479078,2015-03-24,27926908,David,"Rice has truly created a beautiful and very comfortable home away from home. His hospitality and accommodations were top notch! My only regret was not staying there more day during my visit to Austin. The neighborhood, just north of the university, was calm and quiet. I'd have to say that staying here is 10x better than any hotel."
517430,36605310,2015-06-29,14171718,Jon,Rice was an awesome host and his studio apartment was even better than what's in the pictures! He was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I could recommend his place any higher!
517430,45682851,2015-09-05,2198060,Noorah,"Rice and Pam have been incredible hosts and made my transition in Austin so easy. They've done more for me than I expected and I really appreciate all of it.

The location is really close to campus and there is a lot to do in the area.

Highly recommend staying at the Gallery House."
6820899,37631067,2015-07-08,6004483,Eric,"After my original attempt to reserve a home in Austin couldn't be completed via my iPhone app, the Shannons welcomed me to their restored vintage trailer home. I was exhausted from driving a long distance that day and wrangling with Airbnb customer service (they finally helped figure out the problem...and were very nice). It is as described...a very hip, surprisingly spacious, and well-equipped mid-century trailer home under a protective canopy. They seem to have thought of everything. Snacks and a bottle of Hornitos taquila and a local liquer helped me settle into a nice night's sleep on the large, comfortable bed. It's air-conditioned. The living room includes a HD flat-screen TV. There's a nice deck outside. The property is about 8 miles from the city in a residential area and was once a dairy farm. There is plenty of parking and this is a good selection for travelers who have motor homes or a moving truck. It's even easy to turn around in the large field in back. "
6820899,37909086,2015-07-11,5354667,Emily,"We love love loved this sweet set-up! The Shannons have excellent taste in design and a flair for hospitality, right down to the complimentary tequila shot upon arrival, as well as coffee, nuts & dried fruits, and an array of local touches in their choice of books, art and framed record albums. Even with three people, we were very comfortable, especially with the attached deck, a great place for enjoying your morning cup o' joe, plus a large hammock if napping in the shade is what your trip calls for. This completely renovated cherry vintage trailer is located on the Shannon's large urban oasis property in East Austin, yet easy to get to anywhere in the city in a short amount of time, though a car is recommended. We only wish we could have stayed longer, and would definitely stay at the Shannons again if in the area."
6820899,38880890,2015-07-19,36236438,Rhode,The Shannon's were very hospitable n met all of our needs. The place was beautiful n we liked how every detail in designing the place were met. All the recommendations were spot on. We got more then we wud have in a hotel. My only regret was not being able to get to know them better since time ran out. 
6820899,39975346,2015-07-27,212820,Deborah,This was a great experience.  The Shannon's were the best hosts.  Everything was perfect.   My husband and I didn't want to leave the Spartan Mansion because it was such a relaxing weekend.    We will definitely be planning another trip to this fabulous Oasis.  We appreciate the Shannon's sharing this wonderful hidden treasure.
6820899,40811647,2015-08-02,34788330,Courtney,"What a gem! The Spartan Imperial Mansion truly was a sleek and hip Austin oasis. It was  clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Shannon and Denise were amazing hosts! They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. When will most definately be coming back!"
6820899,42932327,2015-08-16,2645039,Helen,"Thank you SO MUCH The Shannons for letting us stay in your wonderful mansion. THE best way to see Austin, hosted by two FABULOUS Ladies who went beyond the extra mile to make us feel welcome in their gorgeous retro trailer. Would HIGHLY recommend this lovely airbnb gem. With love, Helen, Bex and Zoe X"
6820899,43328915,2015-08-18,41048512,Barbara,"The listing description was perfect! The Shannons could not have done more to make us feel welcome. They were like the best kind of waiter in a great restaurant -- always there if you need them but never hovering or obtrusive. There were so many little perks about the place; robes, extra pillows, M&Ms, milk in the frig and cereal in the pantry, a lime to go with the tequila, I could go on and on! We felt entirely safe and at home. In short; this was so much FUN!! We seriously hope to get to stay here again. It was just a great overall experience and I wouldn't change a thing about the place.  Thanks so much, Shannons!!
 "
6820899,44978071,2015-08-30,41216436,David,"This place was like taking a trip back in time. Cozy and comfortable, it had everything we needed. We are looking forward to coming back again to this truly unique space."
6820899,45816699,2015-09-06,22895974,E,"This space Rocks!
Spartan Imperial Mansion was the perfect getaway for a group of girlfriends to enjoy a long weekend. The retro sheik experience made it very unique. The Mansion is very welcoming with a private drive, lovely deck, comfortable hammock and a beautiful windmill to boot. We were admiring how nice the interior is and how roomy it feels. Hosts were more than welcoming in leaving the lights on when we arrived in the late part of the evening and having the kitchen stocked with snacks and drinks. We drove and used Lyft to get around the town and were able to experience the best Austin has to offer in the way of restaurants, museums, bars, and outdoor recreation. If in the area again would definitely book another stay!"
6820899,46732033,2015-09-13,39847852,Natalie,"The mansion looked exactly as pictured, if anything it was more charming in person. The hosts left us to ourselves but made sure we could contact them if we needed anything during our stay. Overall just an excellent experience!"
6820899,47298612,2015-09-17,41456913,Lizz,"Having such a fabulous Airbnb experience for our first time out of the gate is setting the bar high for future bookings. The Mansion is such a unique dwelling to begin with and experiencing it in all it's House Beautiful glory made us feel like mid-century movie stars in our on-set trailer! The Shannons were lovely hosts who struck just the right note with attentive texts checking on our needs for ice or restaurant suggestions.  We really appreciated the effort they put into finding us a local service for a Jewish holiday that fell during our stay. We most definitely would like to come back and to send friends visiting Austin their details.
Remote controls, dials and any doors that required TLC on a vintage building were well labelled. The bed was so comfortable I was tempted to pull up the sheets and look for a brand and model label on the (email hidden)e books of local lore not only looked fetching in the living room area, they tempted us to think bigger in our explorations.
One of our most charming experiences involved flipping on an episode of 'Tiny House Hunting' while sitting in an exquisitely outfitted silver-shelled trailer and thinking: ""yes, we COULD live here"".

Definitely a drive from where I spent the rest of my Austin time, but that was not a complete drawback. Very well might plan my next trip to Austin around being able to take better advantage of the Mansion's deck, grill, and hammock. "
6820899,48284578,2015-09-25,1815538,Peter,"The Shannon's were excellent hosts and the property was exactly as described and as we expected from the photos. Very happy with our stay. I would stay here again.

As a heads up the surrounding neighborhood seemed a little bit dodgy when driving through, but when you arrive the location is fine."
6820899,48578940,2015-09-27,9051146,Diane,What a darling little place to stay.  The Shannons were such gracious hostesses.  Everything was so comfortable.  They were so sweet to take the time to find out just what their guests would need to make them feel at home.  Highly recommend.
6820899,49106790,2015-10-01,31979750,Cathy,My husband and I came for our 26 th wedding anniversary! I have to say this has been one of our best trips! We completely enjoyed staying in the Mansion! It was very comfortable and we enjoyed bar b Qing on the deck our first night. Shannon was very quick to meet any need we had and was very polite and accommodating! It was a real treat staying in the Mansion! 
6820899,49619412,2015-10-05,5065372,Virginia,Great little retreat and wonderful hosts. The Mansion is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Was a great base for our weekend at ACL Fest!
6820899,50140359,2015-10-09,5719554,Sarah,"The mansion was a real delight - so beautifully restored and we were really made to feel at home by Denise & Shannon.  We received a lovely welcome, were provided with neighbourhood restaurant recommendations, but also allowed our own privacy.  Such lovely touches, immaculate inside, and it appealed to my sense of everything in its place - there really was a place for everything!
Whilst this is a way out of the centre of austin (you need a car), we ended up using Uber for nights out into the centre which wasn't too pricey at all.
Such an original Airbnb to try if you're in Austin!"
6820899,50287612,2015-10-11,44232,Benjamin,"Overall, a spectacular experience.  The only slight downside was that it was a hike to get into downtown Austin, but certainly not insurmountable with a rental car/uber.

The pluses way outweighed the location!  The big 2 positives were the airstream itself, and the ridiculous hospitality of the Shannons.

The airstream itself was super nice - a blend of vintage style and modern amenities.  There's a fridge, dish washer, fully stocked kitchen, TV w/ cable, a big nice bed, a porch with great lighting for evening drinks.  Everything was nice and worked well.

The hospitality was on the next level.  The Shannons left us a bottle of tequila and cocktail ingredients, coffee, cereal, local milk in glass bottles, candy....  Most impressively, on morning one we woke up to a tray left on our front porch with delicious breakfast tacos and OJ.  Couldn't have nicer things to say about the Shannons, who felt like old friends who were letting my girlfriend and I stay with them on their property. "
6820899,51120615,2015-10-18,37523477,Sam,Our stay at the mansion was great - the property is adorable!  I wish we could have stayed longer than just a weekend. 
6820899,52060110,2015-10-26,42133965,Charles,We could not have been happier with our stay in the Spartan Mansion. The Shannons attention to detail was impressive and we would happily stay there again. 
8581257,49548309,2015-10-04,45241303,Geraldine,"Tami made me and the other guest feel extremely welcomed! She encouraged us to reach out to her at any point during our stay in case we had any questions. She welcomed us to using many amenities in her home including the kitchen, wifi, cable, washer, dryer, and games. The house is beautiful and extraordinarily clean! She even left travel sized toiletries in the bathrooms in case we forgot to pack our own. It is the perfect home away from home. 

Tami is very honest in her description of the house and neighborhood. She is someone that gained my trust right away as soon as I met her and saw the house. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and the house is about 20 minutes from downtown. I was extremely happy with my stay in this beautiful house and would definitely go back again! "
8581257,50788731,2015-10-14,28075398,Con,"Tami was amazing, she contacted me and let me know a few things to quickly get me settled in after a 25hr trip from Australia, she knew i was coming with my kids and also had activities and toys left out for them.

Tami was there for me at all times to assist with how things worked, (mainly as there are slight differences to back home) i couldn't have expected more and in such a positive and uplifting way.

Each time i needed to work something out, if i happen to shoot a text through or call Tami she was easily able to tell me how to approach what i was looking for and the local areas that i could go and see and enjoy.

I love the house, so well apportioned and the Internet and TV access was brilliant and it really felt so comfortable and homely, i love the decor. Anything you need or may need is there. The back yard was tranquil and everything is close by.

I never imagined staying at someones place could be so great!"
8581257,51202343,2015-10-18,31605098,Tierney,Love love love! It was like home away from home. Tami went above and beyond to make sure we were more than comfortable and to ensure we had a great stay while in Austin. Definitely would recommend staying here than renting a hotel!!!
8581257,51963241,2015-10-25,45993696,Marielle,Tami was great! The home is exactly like it was pictured but even better. Everything was so clean the home is in perfect condition and is very well situated! Loved her house and would rent it again! 
5316929,28943785,2015-04-01,1440538,Treavor,"Freshly renovated property in a great location and neighborhood. I'm glad to have been a part of it's new life as a renovated house. Martin is an Austrian sweetheart and super accommodating. If you need something, he can get it for you."
5316929,51437173,2015-10-20,13321500,Manjul,"Martin was very accommodating and always available. He has a kind demeanor and will make you feel comfortable. He is an excellent host.

The house is well put together and maintained regularly. The tech-house was filled with individuals from interesting backgrounds to make evenings and dinner conversation that much more exciting.

I highly recommend this house - you will not regret it."
3513359,16436806,2014-07-27,14794630,Mary,Brent is a great host! The location is perfect for access to hike & bike trail and kayaking. A nice little place with everything you need for a great stay in Austin. Easy access to downtown and the lake! 
3513359,21969663,2014-10-27,6202371,Erik,Nice little cottage with a great location near the river. Brent was a great host.
3513359,22396001,2014-11-05,19465077,Richard,Had a great time at the apartment. Perfect for getting into town in an up and coming neighbourhood. Clean and easy to find great location
3513359,22696496,2014-11-12,21132366,Seema,"Very basic place, but it was just what we needed!  The location is awesome and walkable.  When we reached out to Brent about the wifi password, he replied almost immediately.  Great host!"
3513359,27244455,2015-03-01,13301845,Nicholas,"brent is super laid back and accommodating, and the location is super sweet: 1 block from the river, 1.5 miles from downtown, +/-1 mile to east sixth. "
3513359,28165846,2015-03-19,4390586,Russ,"Brent was super easy going and very quick responding to messages. I think his neighbourhood in Austin is great – a 10-15 minute walk from a lot of great bars / restaurants on East Sixth and some cool places just a five minute walk away, too. We booked it for SXSW and found it convenient. The place is basic, but everything we needed. Would rent again for another SXSW. "
3513359,28839007,2015-03-30,6337230,Hannah,"Great stay! Brent was a wonderful host and stocked the fridge with drinks for us. The house was clean and had everything we could possibly need. It is small, but cozy and in a great location. We were able to walk or uber to everything we wanted to do. "
3513359,29210009,2015-04-05,10395710,Jude,"Host Brent is very nice and offered me his bike to ride around in town. You NEED a bike in Austin - excellent way to travel. He also had a 6-pack beer, water and coke in the fridge which was much appreciated.
The linen and towels were all clean but the walls were pretty dirty which doesn't really show up in the photos. Could do with a lick of paint inside. Apart from that the place is very cute and an easy ride into town along the picturesque lake."
3513359,30328398,2015-04-20,15017278,M,It's a simple space with not a great deal of extra amenities but the location is very good for easy access to downtown or campus.  
3513359,30883024,2015-04-28,22544600,Micah,"Brent was easy and friendly to communicate with. The cottage is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and it is close to all the great Austin locations you'll want to visit. The bed was comfy, the AC cold, and the shower had hot water. For the price, it's a good deal.

My one criticism is that the walls and floor were rather dirty, and there were insects crawling around inside. Also, there was no trash can.

Overall, I recommend the cottage to those looking for a quiet, convenient, and cheap trip stay while visiting Austin."
3513359,32062669,2015-05-13,8368702,Ulf,"I had a wonderful stay in the purple cottage! Suited my needs perfectly and Brent was a great and very helpful host. The bed was nice and comfortable, everything was clean, the neighbourhood was really great and the AC worked. 
The only thing I can add is that I fell in love with Austin and I hope to come back next year. I hope I'll see you then, Brent! Thanks for everything!
"
3513359,33120627,2015-05-25,31547805,Carissa,"Brent was very nice and pleasant. We got what we paid for, a cute cottage that was close to downtown, East Austin and bike trails around the lake.  There was beer waiting for us when we arrived. Simple and affordable. "
3513359,34362044,2015-06-07,31516804,Charles,"Brent did a great job getting ready for my stay, coordinating times and meeting me when I got there. Everything was as advertised and suited my needs well. Thanks!"
3513359,34496959,2015-06-08,4366650,Ofelia,"Brent was very accommodating with our arrival and departure schedule. We didn't meet in person, but he was very responsive via text and we found the room clean and tidy. "
3513359,35180167,2015-06-15,4874006,Sarah,"Loved staying in Brent's cottage. It's in a safe, quiet, centrally located neighborhood, and in the backyard of Brent's place. I felt like I had plenty of privacy, the cottage was cute and cozy (exactly as pictured), and Brent was super responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend staying here."
3513359,35593934,2015-06-20,3292659,Kristin,"The cottage is in a little neighborhood on the east side of town. It was the perfect place for me as it was close to my new job. Launderette, a new restaurant in town, is within walking distance. The cottage is adorably decorated and is kept quite cool. There is a little kitchenette, which was great. I would stay here again."
3513359,36621418,2015-06-29,21380488,Justin,Brent was nice and pleasant. The place was small but pleasant. Great experience. 
3513359,38228744,2015-07-13,13344084,Carlin,"So we'll just call Brent my fairy godmother. I never saw him, but he was an awesome host who made my weekend in Austin of interviews and rental hunting infinitely easier. He let me check in early to drop off my bags and was conveniently located 4 blocks from where my interview was (also located right near an awesome walking path/park on the Colorado River and tons of great food trucks and bars too. This location can't be beat).  I asked him about a bike, and one appeared (with lights and a U-lock, no less!) on the porch 10 minutes later. I biked around all weekend, and put maybe 80 miles on that thing. 

The cottage was cute and clean - just as pictured.  The AC window unit worked extremely well and the water pressure was awesome!! It's also less than a 15 minute ride to the airport and cost less than 18 dollars to cab or Super Shuttle to/from there.

I left Austin with a job, a lease, and a huge amount of appreciation towards Brent for being extremely flexible and accommodating!  Would definitely recommend!"
3513359,38933390,2015-07-19,27808026,Emmanuel,Experience was great! 
3513359,39119248,2015-07-20,13344084,Carlin,Awesome second experience with Brent! Cottage is in a great location and is as pictured. Very accommodating and flexible host. Highly recommend staying with Brent if you're in Austin. 
3513359,39234559,2015-07-21,5928635,Ryan,Nice guy. Easy to get in. Convenient location.
3513359,43104165,2015-08-17,29277133,Michelle,"I didn't get to meet Brent, but he was very easy to get ahold of with questions and responded quickly. 

Comfortable bed, hot shower, and cold AC. Not the fanciest place, but it'll do if you are looking for a place to crash. 

Nice neighborhood with easy free street parking, and close to restaurants, juice stores, and bars!"
3513359,45009477,2015-08-30,14722187,Cristian,Nice place in a good location. 
3513359,46224078,2015-09-08,248795,Ashley,"I would not recommend this place at all. The reviews were misleading. Sure it is a roof over your head, but Brent, or whoever I was even coordinating with, was unresponsive. I received one text message after attempting to reach him several times via email to simply find out how we would be getting into the apartment and all it said was ""the key will be in the door"". After that I asked about the kayaks that are supposedly available and never heard from him again. Hence, there are no kayaks, or bikes. The place is disgusting and we woke up to a 2 inch cockroach sleeping in the kitchen. The fridge had old food in it, the kitchen cabinets were filled with who knows what, and the bathroom smelled like pee. The backyard is not maintained at all. It was one of the worst stays I have experienced and I hope no one else is as disappointed as we are. "
3513359,46941341,2015-09-14,42288453,Lindsey,Everything was great! Thanks! 
2084252,10981710,2014-03-16,9143724,Maria,"We stayed here as a group of 4. Water was hot, place was clean, and Coleman was a friendly and accommodating host.

This was a totally unique experience and made for a lot of fun Polaroids.

The bus stop to get downtown was about a 5 minute walk just up to the main road. For $1 you got downtown. It was really so easy. A cab back was about $20, but the bus is also still an option.

I would recommend this spot for a no frills, but definitely amazing experience.



"
2084252,11329442,2014-03-30,5152286,Katy,"Interesting experience, a few things worth noting is there are no doors, not even for the bathroom. There were things to cook with and a refrigerator. Because of the remote location, the first night I hadn't met Coleman yet and I was VERY glad I wasn't alone and that there was a guy with us. I did meet Coleman though, and he was nice.

When it was all said and done, having a place to come back to that is chill and quiet was really nice to offset the hustle and bustle. Navigated just fine on the bus from that location. Bring earplugs because the sounds of the tree scraping on the trailer are a little creepy on a windy night. "
2084252,11811288,2014-04-15,13562148,Shelbi,"All was set to go. Only weird thing was that Coleman wasn't there to greet us, though we were a half hour late. Oops! It hailed when we were in the Airstream, so it made for a really fun experience! The land is beautiful right on the edge of Austin, and we all had a great time. Thanks Coleman!"
2084252,12235578,2014-04-27,5117053,Eric,"Just ... the place to be at austin ! Excelent alternative stay in nature a few minutes from downtown ! 
"
2084252,21045727,2014-10-10,21500939,Waxie,"If you love ""roughing it"" or camping, you will love staying here.  Coleman's property is a touch off the beaten path so it's nice and private, but also only about a 4 minute drive to the popular South Congress activity.   There are 2 beds (1 twin mattress on the floor with clean sheets, blankets & pillows and the other is a futon in the main area also with clean sheets, blankets & pillows).   As for Coleman, we didn't see him in person but he was more than friendly and very helpful via text."
2084252,21911728,2014-10-26,21258920,Brooke,"The location is prime, right off the best street in Austin, yet far enough from the heavy traffic.  The hosts land boasts some vintage trailer relics, waiting on his tlc, which makes for a unique ""museum"" like experience. It was quiet, surrounded by trees and natural brush. Blue jays, hawks, owls, you could hear all the peace the country has to offer. The trailer is quaint, amazing water pressure too.  "
2084252,22354244,2014-11-04,15511591,Kim,"One minute you're on a busy Austin street and the next minute you're in the country where everything is quiet and peaceful. All the hotel rooms were booked five months in advance when my wife and I needed a place to stay for our son's wedding, so discovering airnb saved our bacon. And what a relief to know you're spending a reasonable amount for overnight accommodations instead of outrageous sums for even the cheapest motel. Coleman is a good host and we'll contact him the next time we plan to stay in Austin. "
2084252,25489909,2015-01-17,8440235,Chris,"A great place for those who enjoy the camping lifestyle. Really awesome old airstream with no useless decor, and Coleman was easy going, great to communicate with, and even had a fire pit set up for my arrival. "
2084252,26084792,2015-02-02,23787106,Jamie,"We stayed two nights and didn't actually meet Cole due to our weird hours of coming and going, but he was extremely helpful and quick to respond through messages.  
The trailer was nice and we really enjoyed staying there.  It was clean and had a fully functional bathroom and a kitchen with dishes and cooking stuff.  There was a double futon and a single bed, which was plenty for us.
We were there during a particularly cold time, and it was a little chilly in the trailer at night as it isn't heated, but with lots of blankets we were perfectly comfortable while sleeping.
The location is pretty and feels isolated but still close to downtown Austin, so if you have a car it's extremely convenient.  I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for something a little more interesting than a regular bedroom."
2084252,26890685,2015-02-21,27690141,Jason,"Coleman was awesome. He has a laid back personality which made us feel very comfortable. The trailer was great. Very low key with a great view of the surrounding trees. The night we stayed, Coleman started a small campfire, and a few of us just hung out to talk about all kinds of stuff. We slept great in the trailer. We definitely felt like we were in the middle of the woods when we woke up. We would have hung out until check out, but we had some errands to run so we had to spend most of the day away. Overall, the place was great. I will definitely stay with Coleman again. "
2084252,27786071,2015-03-11,5454323,Stephanie,"Staying with Coleman was great! It was a short drive to all of the great bars and restaurants, but the trailer was in a very quiet and natural setting."
2084252,28745709,2015-03-29,16508870,Saleta,"Place was great, as pictured, easy to find.  Also, Coleman responded quickly and efficiently to my texts. Only wish we had been less rushed and tired and could  have sat underneath the stars for longer.  Beautiful light in the morning. Will definitely try to stay here again when we have no obligations and can just hang out for a couple of days."
2084252,34190507,2015-06-06,19596064,Sarah,"I had the pleasure of staying in this vintage trailer for 10 weeks. Cole is a very conscientious and caring individual who has created a small oasis through his conservation and dedicated stewardship of this small plot of land. He was very responsive to any needs that I had for the space throughout my stay as well as requests I had prior to arriving. Though very close to shopping, theaters, dining, etc, there is a feeling of being outside of the city as you are completely surrounded by a wooded area, lending itself to frequent sightings of wildlife. It feels a lot like being in a cabin in the woods. The view out the front door is a field of wildflowers and woods, occasional dear, roadrunner, cardinals, etc. and other vintage trailers that Cole is restoring. 
In terms of the space itself, it was a lot of room for one person, which was perfect for such a long stay. It would comfortably fit 2 – 4 people, possibly 6. The interior is almost completely wood with the original 1950’s light fixtures and appliances with a newer dorm room size fridge and functional kitchen. The floor is beautiful cedar that was cut and laid by hand. The bathroom is small but has everything you need with a good-working shower and hot water. There is a curtain if more privacy is needed – a door wouldn’t work in this space. The wireless internet was surprisingly reliable inside the trailer with a mostly consistent connection.
Given the trailer’s position nestled into a wooded area there is a draw for various insects inside the trailer but I managed to keep them from being too much of a distraction. There is noise from highway 35 but the distance makes a difference in muffling the sound somewhat. 
If I’m in Austin again, I wouldn’t hesitate to get in touch with Cole again to stay here. 
"
2084252,38057213,2015-07-12,34869964,Mary Beth,"Coleman is a superb airbnb host and his property is charming.  I mean, there's a satellite aerial come gigantic bird bath in the middle of the circular driveway?  Kind-of-sort-of unforgettable.     "
2084252,47434435,2015-09-18,34869964,Mary Beth,Coleman's Vintage Trailer…. as charming and welcoming as usual.  I couldn't recommend it enough.    
2084252,48934295,2015-09-29,43897206,Rachel,Coleman was a great host! He has made the vintage deluxe a nice and quiet place. Very peaceful! If I could stay forever I would! The neighborhood is quiet and tucked away! If you love the outdoors this is for you!
2084252,49061286,2015-09-30,31796924,Mariah,"I arrived very late, Coleman was understanding and left the light on for me! The trailer was cute and the perfect quiet place to crash for the night. "
2084252,49698953,2015-10-05,40019381,David,Coleman definitely made me feel welcomed. The  location and the space were exactly what I needed to visit Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. 
2084252,49858463,2015-10-06,19864505,Rick,"This was the worst experience I have ever had staying anywhere ! In fact , I didn't stay . The neighborhood was scary , the property was a dump and the accommodations were disgusting. There were dead , giant cockroaches in the drawers , humus and cheese in a refrigerator that wasn't working ,etc , etc 
 We stayed 10 min and got the hell out of there . Took a shower as soon as we got to a hotel . Willing to give up my $ to not stay there ; a disgrace .
We are super host status with Airbnb and shame on them and Coleman for allowing this property to represent anything having to to do with this fine company . And we have not been contacted by the host to ask why we didn't stay and Airbnb has not helped in getting our $ back . An overall awful experience that I hope we will laugh about in the future ."
2084252,50501319,2015-10-12,44222745,Lucas,"Though we were a little unsure about driving into the wooded area at 11 at night and there were a couple of bugs around, we had a great time. We stayed during ACL and the campfire and stars combination was a much needed get away after the excitement and action of the Music Festival. As long as you understand that you are essentially going camping with benefits, like electricity and warm running water, then you will have a wonderful experience."
2084252,50792263,2015-10-14,21181732,Kate,"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful pocket of nature amid an Austin neighborhood off Congress Street. I was shocked at how easy it was to find and how close we felt to downtown. Although we did not meet our host in person due to our schedule, he was easily available by text and made us feel very welcome by having everything ready for our early check-in and answering all our questions. The camper was in excellent shape and offered clean, comfortable beds, a terrific hot shower with good water pressure, and a useful kitchen and eating area. Screened windows with delicate curtains were a bonus, and we really enjoyed the breezes. Everything, outdoors and inside the camper, looked even better than we expected having looked at the photos. Plus, Coleman's land truly is an eco-preserve in the middle of the city! If you enjoy privacy and natural settings, you'll like it. We enjoyed exploring the land. We appreciated the tidy stack of firewood next to an established firepit, although we were too tired to build a fire after a full day of concerts and sightseeing. Highly recommended, you won't regret your stay here. "
7329956,39132713,2015-07-20,38757544,Lauren,"Great location, although the apartment complex was a bit difficult to navigate. The two couches we used were both very comfortable - the third would probably be a bit small. Our hosts were friendly and helpful!"
7329956,40299376,2015-07-29,24413343,Mark,Kyle made me feel very welcomed and was very accommodating. Super nice guy!
7329956,40877090,2015-08-02,16355593,Jd,"Perfect spot for me and my friend to get some shut eye, walked into a friendly greeting from Kyle and found a local Austin craft beer which went down well.  The apartment is located on 2nd floor, if you park on visitor level of parking garage. I'd stay here again I felt like I was staying at my college buds place overnight, I'd stay again while in Austin."
7329956,41012912,2015-08-03,37628239,Logan,"After my initial request (I booked this Air BnB very late at night), Kyle was always very prompt with all of his responses, often within minutes of me messaging him. While I never got to meet Kyle, he was in contact with me upon arrival, one of his roommates was home to introduce me to the house, and both check-in and -out went very smoothly.

Now, I need to note that when I arrived back to Kyle's (at 4:30am), I found that despite me booking this BnB by myself, I arrived to find strangers sleeping on all 3 couches already. I ended up sleeping on the floor, and was then awoken by these individuals waking at 9am for their own flight (when I had planned to get up at 11). I left the apartment before Kyle woke up, but once he did he apologized profusely and provided me with a full refund for my troubles. Kyle states that after he had fallen asleep, one of his roommates had invited these folks to stay on the couches, and told me that this would be something that he'd assure would never occur again (and from my conversations with Kyle, I believe him to be a man of his word)."
7329956,42308334,2015-08-12,34084025,Jake,Great guys and a nice spot in Austin. 10/10 would stay again!
7329956,42605947,2015-08-14,30313433,Joanna,"Kyle was a great host. He wasn't home when we arrived, but was so easy to work with to get settled. I felt right at home. He even provided a detailed list of things to do in the area with personal recommendations.
The location was perfect and was walking distance or a short uber ride from everything we wanted to do. I had a great time during my stay and would definitely recommend staying here for a visit to Austin."
7329956,43824716,2015-08-22,36018965,Emmett,"Kyle's place is in a great location, and he was very accommodating."
7329956,47006316,2015-09-14,37364415,Matthew,"Kyle was very accommodating and always quick to respond with any  questions I had, the couches where extremely comfortable and the projection screen was sweet, the apartment complex was very nice and the swimming pool was great on the hot days in Austin!

There's heaps of food trucks around and some nice little bars to keep you busy. Will def stay there if I'm back in Austin and would recommend it to anyone. "
7329956,47588948,2015-09-20,44313912,Daniel,"Booking confirmation and responses from Kyle were prompt. Very nice place, appartment was clean and couches were OK to sleep at. What makes this place awesome is the location. Super close to downtown, we just walk most of the places. We did not have a chance to meet Kyle in person (as he was traveling) but everything was ready for us and his roomates were very accommodating and we felt almost like at home :) We would definitely choose to stay at Kyle's place next time!"
7329956,49089658,2015-09-30,850526,Fallon,The host canceled this reservation 34 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7329956,49838620,2015-10-06,45021610,Chris,"Kyle was an excellent host and made us feel at home. The place was in great shape and exactly as described (or even better). With lots of great places within walking distance, you cannot beat the location, and Kyle even provided us with a list of nearby places of interest. I would definitely not hesitate to book a stay here again!"
7329956,50682357,2015-10-13,23957016,Sarah,Ryan and his roommates were very welcoming when we got there. And couldn't have asked for a better location! The space was exactly what we were expecting.
7329956,51351840,2015-10-19,4150743,Kristi,We had a great stay here. Awesome location right off of South Congress. Nice clean place and great host. Would definitely stay again!
7329956,52178617,2015-10-26,6967352,Christopher,"Great host and great apartment!  Comfortable couches, close to downtown and Kyle was very welcoming. Looking forward to staying here again! "
7329956,52869809,2015-11-02,13205071,Berenise,"Kyle totally made me feel like a friend who was staying over. He cooked me breakfast for lunch! Yes, haha.. Winning. He and his roommates nursed me back to help with plenty of fluids after a fun night in Austin. It was really clean and the blankets smelled amazing haha! Totally felt like I would likely stay there again even though this was last minute."
4511259,22634394,2014-11-10,23397179,Katie,Enjoyed staying in Jason's spacious 2 bedroom apartment for the weekend.  It was a nice walk to Auditorium Shores for FFF festival and an easy Uber ride to any restaurants and bars downtown.  It was nice to have a small patio area.  Jason was able to accommodate us with check-in and check-out times.
4511259,23192635,2014-11-24,23854171,Paul,"I heard back from the host Jason in 10 minutes, he was very responsive and courteous.  The property was as advertised and shown in the pictures, very clean and well organized.  The apartment was in a great location not far from down town Austin in a quiet neighborhood close to the park and restaurants.  The high-speed internet worked great.  This was my first experience and I would definitely stay there again."
4511259,23418008,2014-11-30,23880173,Jun Hyuck,"Actually I could not meet him, but there are no issue for anything during my stay. We can communicate each other via text, and everything was same with shown on website so I don't have any special question to ask.

Wifi is fast and reliable. Good neitherhood (One family living next door borrowed a salt I need for cooking. Thank you.)

Good apartment. I hope to visit again when I travel Austin again."
4511259,23484463,2014-12-01,5209349,Michael,Jason was a great host...very responsive and even met us when we arrived.  Place is clean and quiet.  Had a very nice walk down Kinney to the lake and then up 1st to a coffee shop.  We enjoyed our short stay and look forward to next time.
4511259,23856286,2014-12-12,7737942,Steve,"First time in Austin and I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! Jason was responsive and always available for communication. My original plans fell through and Jason came to my rescue. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a washer and dryer in the unit. However, I found a reasonable wash and fold minutes from the house. I would definitely consider staying at Jason place next visit! Thanks again Jason for saving me!  "
4511259,23979358,2014-12-15,24656352,Layla,"Cute place, good size for price and excellent location! Everything was neat, tidy and easily accessible, thoroughly enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to anyone! Neighbors had what sounded like a great pre-town party on Friday night but noise stopped by midnight. "
4511259,24211415,2014-12-22,24903972,Tracy,"Jason was a great host. We didn't meet in person but he was available by phone or email when we needed him. He responded quickly and was very professional. We enjoyed staying at the condo, it's very cozy. Great value and in walking distance to everything awesome in Austin. "
4511259,24837703,2015-01-03,14300333,Carol,"We stayed in the house for a week. Jason was very helpful and responded very quick to all our questions. When we arrived, the house wasn't very clean but Jason refunded us our cleaning deposit. If you plan to use the kitchen there are a couple of pots and one pan. There isn't a kitchen knife so bring your own. I am sure that arriving to a dirty house was what killed the experience for us, but overall it was good. The house is very well located and closed to many restaurants and downtown."
4511259,25117529,2015-01-06,25457836,Sean,Great place and a great location in South Austin. Everything was perfect. Big rooms. Clean. Organized. I highly recommend. 
4511259,25255661,2015-01-10,22882588,Jenny,"I was so excited to stay at a house so close to Zilker Park for the cyclocross national race. The house was perfect! Clean, quiet, spacious, and accommodating. I was even allowed a late checkout. Thank you!!! The host was super quick to respond and make sure my needs were met. loved this trip."
4511259,25426949,2015-01-15,6117626,Caitlin,"This listing is exactly as described and shown in the photos; clean, spacious, quiet neighbourhood, well-stocked with supplies and within walking distance to some amazing restaurants and live music!
Jason was extremely helpful prior to checking in making sure we had everything we needed and the guestbook he provided at the apartment was great. We checked out a few of the recommendations and definitely were not disappointed. Gibson Street Bar- the ribs!!
The only challenge with the apartment was the shower. My dad found out the hard way that the hot water needs to run for a while first before heating up and comes straight out of the showerhead, not the tub faucet first. Luckily he warned me and I figured out the system to it. Otherwise, worked like a charm.
The neighbourhood is beautiful and really interesting to walk around and the fact that it was a pet friendly apt was perfect for me travelling with my dog.
Had a blast in Austin and hope to get back. Would stay here again."
4511259,25600008,2015-01-20,5677313,Katie,"House was accurate, and the location was nice. About a mile walk to Barton Springs and very easy to get to downtown Austin. Just talked once with Jason, but he seemed nice and everything was as stated. Only complaint was if you're taller than 5'5"", the shower head is a bit low in the bathroom, but everything else was great."
4511259,25650132,2015-01-21,2299382,Jeannette,"We really appreciated that Jason was able to accommodate us with just hours of notice as we passed through Austin on a roadtrip! The place was immaculately clean, and very, very spacious. The neighborhood was great, and you could safely walk to a dozen delicious-looking restaurants within ten minutes or less. The house itself was a little bit chilly, which made for not the best night's sleep, but perhaps Austin isn't usually as cold as when we passed through. "
4511259,25713086,2015-01-24,4794270,Jim,"Great experience.  The place is clean, well appointed and in a nice neighborhood.  Check in and check out is easy.  It is easy walking distance to several places to eat as well as The Saxon Pub, which is one of the best live music venues in Austin."
4511259,25782564,2015-01-25,2724394,David,"Jason was quick to respond and very helpful considering we booked very last minute(3 hours before arrival)

The place is in excellent shape and a great property for the price."
4511259,25792299,2015-01-26,6005810,Madi,Jason was great - responded quickly to all messages and left us an extremely helpful guidebook to get around Austin. Also was very accommodating when we showed up early!
4511259,25959930,2015-01-31,24914233,Paul,"My co-worker and I were in town for a week-long conference, and since I was already familiar with the Austin area, I wanted to stay somewhere that was low-key but was also pretty accessible to the parts of the city that was awesome. The lodging was a perfect choice for the both of us, as it was spacious, comfortable, and convenient to our lodging needs.

In terms of the living space, the living room was very comfortable and served both as a wonderful headquarters for us to prepare our conference preparations and as a casual space for us to relax and catch a couple movies at night during our downtime. The kitchen was nicely equipped and was so convenient for us to use for the groceries that my co-worker ordered online or for me to heat up leftovers from the awesome restaurants nearby. And the bedrooms hit the spot with really comfy beds and spacious to hold our luggage. We unfortunately did not utilize the backyard since the both of us were only in Austin on business, but I could imagine the area as a nice and inviting space for friends in town to visit.

We never got to meet Jason during our trip since my co-worker and I were either busy at the conference or I was showing my co-worker around town the entire time, but Jason has been nothing more than a gracious host who was very prompt to reply to my message for the logistics prior and after our stay. He and his associate were also incredible in contacting us about things we had left behind and pick up without any issue and with professionalism and friendliness.

Overall, the lodging was a wonderful find in South Austin, and Jason is just an awesome host. I hope to reserve this space again with Jason the next time I'm in town for business."
4511259,26231189,2015-02-07,6593041,Jared,"Great little place in a good location. Two bedrooms, one bath. Parking onsite. Stayed for a week and it was nice to get to know this part of town."
4511259,26684674,2015-02-17,507309,Kseniya,"We liked staying at Jason's apartment. It was clean and well-furnished with everything you could need for a short stay. It is just a rental, as opposed to a full-time home, so we did find ourselves needing to provide/replenish things like coffee and toilet paper. Not a big deal though. Communication and location were both excellent, and picking up the key was easy. We'd love to stay here again."
4511259,27009614,2015-02-23,24981973,Tyler,"Jason's place was great. Very, very clean and quiet, yet close to all of the great happenings of this emminently fun city. Everything worked as it was supposed to, there were great instructions and labels for things everywere, and the beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential, yet near the main thoroughfares of South Congress and South Lamar. In sort, the place is very ""zen"" and comfortable, with everything you would need, as I think its sole purpose is as an Airbnb place, so it's not cluttered with any of the host's personal stuff. Very professional set-up, and we were very pleased. We felt like it was our home for the few days we were there."
4511259,27177610,2015-02-27,2382050,Maggie,"A coworker and I stayed here for a few days for a business trip and it met our needs just fine. It was a five minute walk to my company's office. Nothing fancy, but it was clean and it worked. "
4511259,27240836,2015-02-28,19445288,Charles,Jason was great.  Got the place ready in a short amount of time.  Place was clean and comfortable with cool furniture.
4511259,27344520,2015-03-02,27294852,Jonathan,"Apartment was nice and clean, exactly as advertised.

Jason was very professional and made our stay in Austin enjoyable."
4511259,27453797,2015-03-04,1232812,Brian And Meredith,John was great and the place was terrific.  The apartment was one of the cleanest we've stayed in.  It is well decorated and has all the modern amenities that we needed.  It is in a dynamic neighborhood and there are a lot of things to walk to from his place.  We would definitely stay there again.
4511259,27594816,2015-03-08,19513798,Mische,"Jason was very responsive and super accommodating. I ended up only using the space for half of the time booked and never had much of a chance to check out the neighborhood so I can' speak to that, but I really appreciated him as a host."
4511259,27739907,2015-03-10,10394691,Courtney,The listing was accurate and perfect. Jason is a helpful and accommodating host! Great neighborhood to walk around and close to several Austin attractions! 
4511259,27846160,2015-03-13,12841563,Andre,"This was a great spot. An easy walk to quite a bit of stuff, and convenient to get to downtown.

The apartment was really comfortable - nice, clean, and well furnished.

I would definitely recommend it."
4511259,28088996,2015-03-17,2428948,Jefferson & Vincent,"This apartment was filled with light, clean, peaceful and so relaxing. After a long day at SxSW it was great to come home and relax on the comfortable couch. Loves the modern, minimal, Austin cool interior. Fully stocked, clean and close to DTA. Great stay and I would definitely stay here again."
4511259,28379317,2015-03-23,24944455,Marcus,Jason was a great host and we really enjoyed staying at his house. It was clean and in a good location. South Austin is great
4511259,28558787,2015-03-26,26511682,Joseph,"My family and I had a lovely stay, the townhouse was nice with plenty of room and it was in a GREAT location. Next time I vist Austin I will surely stay here again!"
4511259,28786717,2015-03-30,25500716,Clara,This listing was just as described and in a great location. My sister's bridal party had a great time watching movies in the spacious living room and napping between outings in the comfy beds. Extra touches like labeled kitchen cabinets and soft sheets were much appreciated by all.
4511259,29091683,2015-04-04,15931936,Jeffrey,"Excellent location.  Responsive host.  Apartment was not very clean, rather dusty and I had to surreptitiously remove a dead cockroach before my wife noticed.  I do understand this is TX, but it should have been cleaner. "
4511259,29963466,2015-04-15,24478956,Bryan,"The communication prior to our visit was great, we knew exactly what to expect and what we had to do. Jason was always forthcoming with answers to my questions, no matter how silly they might've seemed. The apartment was as described, exactly what we needed for our time in Austin. Perfect in location and very well priced.
We were left alone throughout our stay but when we had a query it was answered almost instantly. I would strongly recommend this apartment and Jason trustworthy as a host."
4511259,31081522,2015-05-01,8440158,Steve,"True this is an easy in and out, non lived in place. But the joy stops there. I cannot recommend this place as it's more than dirty, I would say very dirty, mold in the shower dirty. Not a sugar pack or even instant coffee for the morning. Somehow that second B got missed. Easy to book, easy to access but this place needs some care before I can recommend it. Glad it was not our first or last AiBnB"
4511259,31392698,2015-05-04,32003469,Jonathan,Jason was very nice and accommodating. The place is very nice and just what the description said it was.

4511259,33418404,2015-05-27,24500155,Alexis,Our stay was perfect. With crazy weather it was nice to have a clean spacious apartment in the heart of south austin.

4511259,35049304,2015-06-14,7579789,Matt,"The apartment was exactly as described/promised. A great place to crash for the night in South Austin, within walking distances to some great bars/restaurants and an easy Uber ride away from everything downtown if you don't feel like walking. Would stay again.

"
4511259,35383936,2015-06-18,2208772,Gabriela,The place is exactly as posted. The beds are super comfortable. Jason is a great host and allowed us to arrive earlier from our long travel. We rented a car so we could get around easy. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant. Great A/C. Instructions for everything was easy.
4511259,35785813,2015-06-22,1524765,Christopher,"Great location, spent most of our time exploring using car to go which we were able to leave outside the apt. 
 
Great to work with and made the trip that much more enjoyable.

Clean apartment with everything we needed!  Jason also allowed our 2 dogs (40 & 70 lbs) which most others we tried didn't.  They had a small yard space and also enjoyed their weekend!  A great accommodation!

It was very convenient to everything you need and close to tons of shops and restaurants! (and also super close to Barton Springs!) Jason was easy to communicate with and we had no problems during our stay!

Not only can you walk/ride bike to Barton Pool and Zilker Park, you are super close to South Lamar where Austin is still ""weird"". Jason was a great host and when we needed the shower to be repaired, he was on it! I am just sorry that I didn't get to meet him. Everything we needed was there and the apartment was comfortable and clean. I would stay here again in the future."
4511259,40959088,2015-08-03,37731859,Lyna,We enjoyed staying here! Jason was very accommodating to our requests. I liked how fast he responded back to us.

We will definitely be back! :)

We really appreciated how attentive he was!"

4511259,47065176,2015-09-15,6604961,Stephen,"Really convenient location, and it was easy to drive anywhere from this spot. The house was comfortable and a good fit for my group of 5. "
4511259,47686825,2015-09-21,21059255,Gabby,"The home was a wonderful 2 bedroom space that fit my three friends and I comfortably. The home was clean and I think one of the most useful items my friends and I utilized was the coffee maker. Coffee and powder creamer was provided, so if you didn't bring your own, you could use the one Jason provided. The location was fantastic, only a five minute drive into town and if you wanted to Uber, the fare was not terrible at all. There were also some great spots for food near the home so if you did not want to travel far, you could easily drive a few minutes to great food, like Shake Shack! If you are looking for a spot to stay in Austin, I highly recommend staying in this apartment. "
4511259,48153375,2015-09-23,44692374,Juan,"Great place, nice stay, recommended place!"
4511259,49305609,2015-10-03,718307,Carolee,Convenient location and super easy check in/out. 
4511259,49759383,2015-10-06,16380078,Kyle,"Jason was great, very accommodating and the rental was exactly as described. Great location to get around Austin, house was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend"
4511259,50610819,2015-10-13,1794612,Jennifer,"Had a great stay. The place was clean and very roomy even with 4 girls and only 1 bathroom. Jason had stocked it with a six pack of local beer (delicious), tylenol, granola bars, gatorade and ACL printed schedules. He was a great host and very quick to respond to all questions. He has a pot and pan and even some tupperware.The only thing I would suggest is maybe a few extra blankets to use while out in the living room. Otherwise it was everything you could need. 

If you are going to ACL this is an excellent location and only about a 25 minute walk. It was really nice to walk home so quickly at the end of the day instead of trekking 30 minutes to get somewhere to try to get an uber. I definitely recommend staying here, and will stay here next time I'm in town."
4511259,50812332,2015-10-14,10566497,Brittney,The place was very clean. It was easy to find and felt like home.
4511259,51278330,2015-10-19,12155219,Frances,"Great little apartment in the Zilker neighborhood that was tidy, well-equipped (including clean towels!), and only a quick, 10-minute Lyft ride to downtown Austin. Jason in particular was awesome -- the wifi wasn't working and he not only responded immediately to my calls/texts, he came over while we were out to stay with the TimeWarner technicians while they fixed the issue. Despite the internet issue, I'm still so glad we stayed here instead of one of Austin's big hotels."
4511259,51517528,2015-10-20,11039955,Vivian,Great stay! Very accommodating!

4511259,52589629,2015-10-31,43935773,Sara,"Great place! We were a group of two couples and it was the perfect size. Nice and clean, lots of towels available. A few local beers waiting in the fridge were exactly what we needed after a long day of travel!  "
4511259,53094036,2015-11-04,43547924,Joe,Home as described. Great central location near many iconic Austin bars and restaurants. Comfortable stay and good communication. Will definitely stay again when in Austin.
883970,50476763,2015-10-12,3725051,Paul,"Chris is a gracious host and the apartment is well appointed with everything you would find in a luxury extended-stay hotel. Little things like the keyless entry system and the motion sensing exterior lights were much appreciated. The pictures are a great representation of the space – it's clean, modern, and very comfortable.

The house is in a quiet neighborhood with extraordinary architecture and is within walking distance to South Congress. SOCO hosts a ton of restaurants and attractions and if you're up for exploring the area by foot, Congress will take you all the way downtown which is about a 30 minute walk. Chris also throws in a couple of bikes with the rent agreement which makes getting around easier.

This apartment is the perfect place to stay for the crowd that likes to be close to the action without being in it. I highly recommend the space, location, and Chris as a host."
783856,10931861,2014-03-13,12580069,Basel,"Gail was a very gracious host, made me feel ultra welcome during my first airbnb stay for SXSW.   The location is fantastic.  If you like running, it is a close run to the park.  The are a lot of cool restaurants nearby.  The place is only about a 5 min ride from downtown."

3848705,20876640,2014-10-06,478583,Jodi,We had a great stay at Juan's place. It's basic but exactly what you need and an easy spot for getting around Austin (especially if you have a car!). The bikes and tubes (for use at Barton  Springs) are awesome too. Juan was great and always quick to respond to any questions - Thanks Juan! 
3848705,21533080,2014-10-19,9499777,Andria,Host was good and fast with responses. Everything was per the description and the neighborhood was close to all Austin activities. It was a nice stay.

3848705,22123943,2014-10-30,22812195,Troy,"Loved the studio! Very clean, bright, white. And, nice simple bedding and towels. He even left two welcome beverages. "
3848705,22272777,2014-11-02,21359387,Marina,Thanks for having us! The place was great and JuanCarlos had lots of suggestions for things to do around town. We would definitely stay here again!
3848705,22530420,2014-11-09,21957031,Andrea,"The stay was great! The apartment is in a nice area and the neighbors are friendly. There is a lot of cool stuff (restaurants, shops, and gardens) within walking distance. Sixth street is jut a short cab ride. My husband biked to fun fun fun fest while I attended a conference downtown and it really suited our needs! There is always parking at the apartments and the balcony outside was awesome while we weren't out doing other things. We love spending time in Austin and will definitely book with Juan Carlos next time we are in town! The bikes, free bud light and French press coffee, along with fast internet and fun decor, made our stay just awesome."
3848705,25560738,2015-01-19,3766728,Willy,"We had a wonderful time staying at Carlos' sweet spot! The apartment was small, but well cared for and included lots of thoughtful amenities like maps of the area, toiletries, coffee and tea. We were so grateful to have access to the bicycles as we were without a vehicle for our time in Austin. The surrounding area is not the most fun the city had to offer, but there are restaurants, coffeeshops and shopping on S. Congress and S. First short bike rides away. We were also happy to have WiFi, a fancy TV, and a stereo with a plug-in for our phones. Carlos was really helpful with everything and stopped by to drop off the mail key when we needed a few things sent there. We're so glad we wound up at Carlos' airbnb and will definitely rewritten there should the opportunity arise!"
3848705,26235455,2015-02-07,8973484,Kely,"The place was great - clean, simple, and in a nice apartment ""cove"" with nice neighbors and a relaxed atmosphere. We would definitely stay again."
3848705,26633831,2015-02-16,4834467,Calista,Good place to stay in reasonable proximity to fun Austin places for a visit and very easy parking. Juan Carlos was very responsive on questions and tips for a pleasant stay. Great to have kitchen amenities with all the basics for cooking a meal or re-heating leftovers. In a quiet location with friendly neighbors.
3848705,28420360,2015-03-23,28751312,Karen,Great time! Accommodations were fantastic!

3848705,30323883,2015-04-20,5425314,Alvino,"Juan Carlos was an excellent host that met us at arrival and took the time to explain the neighborhood and city. The apartment was clean, comfortable and centrally located near great bars, restaurants and shopping. It was also stocked with enough towels and toiletries to last through our stay. The apartment was exactly how it was described in the listing. Thanks again Juan Carlos for taking the time to explain everything we needed to know, and being available whenever needed. 5 STAR HOST!!!!!!"
3848705,30737664,2015-04-26,18156422,John,"Great two night stay at the Map Salon. Everything you need in a simple, clean apartment. "
3848705,32032821,2015-05-12,7672578,Crystal,"Great location. Minutes away from everything by car. We did not get to meet our host, but he was very responsive to texts and emails. Very safe, clean, quiet, and private apartment. The place is fully equipped with everything that you may need for your trip. Highly recommended. "
3848705,32918846,2015-05-23,8266102,Sam,"Overall, this was a great place.  It offered everything I needed (kitchen, bed and futon, extra sheets and pillows, warm shower, wifi etc).  For the price, this place was better than I had anticipated and really was a great stay.

As for the host, JuanCarlos was very attentive and always responsive through emails within an hour or two they were sent.  He was also really genuine and gave us a long tour of the apartment to make sure we knew about everything it had.  He made sure we were comfortable and answered any questions we had."
3848705,33163731,2015-05-25,11003752,Anthony,"Excellent communication. Apt was as described. Close to south congress, downtown, etc. Would stay here again. Definitely a great place if you are looking for a bargain. "
3848705,36441028,2015-06-28,8850129,New,The Map Salon provided a great stay! Comfortable and clean. JuanCarlos was helpful and quick to respond to any questions.
3848705,37588134,2015-07-08,965971,LeAnne,"I enjoyed my stay! The listing was accurately described. The location was great, and It was very quiet for an apartment complex. It's small, but definitely room for 2 and a short ride to Downtown. No cable TV - which is listed correctly in the amenities section.... It didn't bother me, because I don't watch much TV. Overall, a NICE, reasonably priced place!"
3848705,40766552,2015-08-02,7946635,Meta,"The pics are fairly representative: it's a small studio/1 bedroom, clean and simple. No window in the bedroom. It is quite far south of the SOCO and SOLA districts,  so a car is a necessary thing to have. The area around has a few places to go to, but in general it's not very charming neighborhood...  It is quiet however.  I was happy to have the use of the bikes. JuanCarlos was easy to interact with and eager to please.  The kitchen utensils and pots/pans are a sufficient, but a bit bare. I think in terms of price for value, although this place is fine and clean, for the same price we found bigger and nicer places in different neighborhoods. "
3848705,41149046,2015-08-04,39275867,Vickie,"JuanCarlos was such a gracious host.  He had taken care of everything!  This was my first time to try Airbnb, so I was a bit nervous about messing up or doing something wrong, but JuanCarlos put me right at ease.  The Map Salon is a great little place so close to everything!  How do you know you found the right place?  When you keep coming back to look around ""one more time"" because you just don't want to leave."
3848705,41549407,2015-08-07,37632669,Kelly,This place was perfect! Everything was super clean and Juan Carlos was communicative and super nice. I recommend this place.
3848705,42502501,2015-08-13,1813998,Tracie,Juan Carlos made my stay super easy. The place was super clean and had just what I needed :-) He quickly responded to any questions I had and the place was a great location in the city. I would definitely recommend staying here :-)
3848705,42975786,2015-08-16,40965817,Priya,"Juan was a very good host. He could not be there when we reached so he had sent all the details and instructions. He was easily reachable as needed. The map and the rooms are just as shown, not a fancy place but a neat studio like place. We did not use much of it as we had all day event both days still he was thoughtful to leave basic needs like butter, jam and water in the fridge. A small library with books and fresh linen was added plus.  The shops are not very close by especially in the hot Texas sun. Lot of lounges and sports grills, it was a quiet neighborhood, we were walking around late in the night without any issues. Found that most shops open late in the morning and close early in the night, so plan for it. Overall a new and different experience.  "
3848705,43464540,2015-08-19,25367798,Andrew,"The location is fantastic as it is near south congress street and about a 7 minute uber to downtown. Juan Carlos has a lot of nice accommodations in the place including wine, cards, fun toys, extra sheets, as well as a fun salon/country theme. You can tell he pays a lot of attention to detail. The pipes and water systems are a little old. In fact, we had some issues with the water and Juan Carlos put in a work order immediately to get it fixed. Long story short, the repair man was supposed to come that night but didn't come until the next day. Luckily I jerry rigged the shower and got it to work. The shower is fixed now but this could of been a serious issue if I had a medical condition and didn't have warm water for the night. Other than that, Juan Carlos is a fantastic host who goes out of his way to ensure his guests had a great stay."
3848705,43847414,2015-08-22,41055221,Mayte,JuanCarlos met us at the apt. He was super gracious and welcoming. The apt was exactly how it was described. 
3848705,45353181,2015-09-01,20738174,Martha,"The map salon was the perfect place for a quick work trip. Juan Carlos was very descriptive on how to find the apt, especially with my late arrival. It was comfortable and very close to tons of restaurants, bars, and outdoor activities. I highly recommend staying here. You can't beat the price either!

3848705,46841729,2015-09-13,11431885,Ayelet,Austin is amazing and Carlos's place was perfect for our weekend stay. The bikes are a really nice complementary and improved greatly our stay. Carlos was super nice and we definitely recommend this place.

3848705,50645188,2015-10-13,3641390,Brian,"JuanCarlos was very accommodating given my trip schedule. I never got to meet him but his place was great. Unfortunately, the plumbing stopped working and it almost took 24 hours to fix, but we weren't around enough to make it a big deal. My only major complaint is that the bikes available on loan were missing brakes. I understand they are loaners but it wasn't very safe to ride them.

Overall, I'd come back in a heartbeat. The condo was a perfect size, nice and quiet, and had a comfy bed!"
3848705,51917745,2015-10-25,26000548,Keri,The Map Salon was perfect for our extended weekend stay. Juan Carlos was super welcoming and the place was exactly as described and conveniently located to everywhere we wanted to go. Thanks!

We (Three persons) stayed in Jeffery's place, first time in Austin TX and first time in Airbnb, overall awesome experience, Jeffery was very kind, we were received with a welcome basket. The place is exactly as it is shown in the pictures, very nice, clean, cozy and well equipped condo. The location is excellent, very convenient there are a grocery store, gas station, restaurants, breakfast places, etc just a few minutes from the condo, it is also close to the airport, downtown and the Circuit of the Americas where we headed."
4165186,24162250,2014-12-21,20127825,Babul,Needed a last minute place for The Black Keys concert for myself and my teenage sons. Jeff was great and accommodating and the place was perfect. Thanks!

We used both uber and taxi to get to 6th street, 20-24 bucks will get you there. Grocery and restaurants close proximity. Great overall experience nice place to stay at a good price."
4165186,27959604,2015-03-15,23908699,Miranda,"The condo was as described, clean and in order.  I enjoyed reading some of the interesting books there.  My only complaint is that we needed internet access to do some work, and our call to Jeffery Best went unanswered during our 2 day stay there.  "
4165186,28109871,2015-03-17,29228288,Jonathan,"Jeffery was fast to respond and very helpful, going out of his way to accommodate us.  We came for one night during sxsw and saved a fortune compared to other options, and yet the condo was comfortable and suited our needs perfectly.  We didn't take advantage, but it is in a good location to multiple restaurants being right near burnet. For our needs, we couldn't have been happier."

It's in a charming and safe neighborhood with good restaurants, coffeehouse and groceries within walking distance. The house itself is tiny as described but it is super clean (seems brand new), on a really nice property and is organized in a way where you have everything you need and have privacy. It's ideal for single travelers or couples. Brad is a great host...he's quick to respond to any questions I had via text and was super friendly. Highly recommended!"

Brad and Gwen were very nice, waited for us when we showed up late and had drinks with us on the porch discussing UT Austin and the city culture. They prepared a set of instructions on everything from the A/C to shower, along with a list of stuff to do in the city including restaurants and museums. Nice folks eager to play host. Thanks!"
2010358,13932084,2014-06-08,12281868,Daniel,"Had a great stay in the Tiny House.

It's a quirky, fun place to stay in a good location and a very safe part of town.

The house itself is compact (it's all in the name ;) ) but has everything you need and it was spotlessly clean.

Brad was a great host, very responsive and a nice person to deal with. We had a minor issue with some plumbing and he went above and beyond to resolve it quickly.

Stay here, you won't regret it."

2010358,15347970,2014-07-07,16434057,Taylor,"What an incredible first airbnb experience. Bradley was a wonderful host. The tiny home was perfect for my girlfriend and I to spend a great 4th of July weekend in Austin. The shower takes some getting used to, but the A/C is cold and the bed is comfortable. 

When we arrived, Bradley gave us a (very) quick tour of the house, and had printed material explaining everything about the tiny house, along with a whole page of activities to do in Austin. He was always available via phone if we had any questions or needed anything. Overall, a great experience and a fantastic place to stay. 
"
2010358,15980977,2014-07-19,17790607,Kristy,"We had a wonderful stay at the Tiny House. Brad was very helpful and genuinely concerned about our trip.  Everything was clean and he had even had the a/c on and the house was the perfect temperature.   They provided a huge list of helpful info on restaurants,  sights, and things to do in Austin.  We couldn't have been happier with our time in the Tiny House and will be contacting Brad next time we visit Austin."
2010358,16683449,2014-07-31,8197136,Peter & Cynthia,"What a great place.  We really enjoyed our stay.  
The location is terrific, street parking right outside, and on extremely quiet street - even though it is quite a hip part of Austin.  The house is really cute and just enough room for 2.  It is extremely clean with lots of sheets and towels and the air conditioner was running when we arrived.  
Bradley was very responsive and helpful.  Definitely recommend."
2010358,16870595,2014-08-03,18686234,Stacy,Bradley was a responsive and thoughtful host.   The Tiny House is perfectly located in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of restaurant options.   I couldn't have enjoyed the Tiny House more.   It was simple but perfect with thoughtful touches.   Excellent experience.
2010358,17541009,2014-08-13,9452965,Paige,"The tiny house was perfect for me. Clean, simple, quiet. Love the neighborhood. I've been wanting to check out Tiny Houses, and this was a perfect opportunity with sweet hosts! Brad and his wife could not have been more accommodating or helpful, and checked in with me throughout the stay. Our schedules seemed to go in different directions, but I'm so glad we finally crossed paths one night. We had a nice chat and I wish we could have hung out more! Consummate hosts- they'll provide you with tips on whatever you want to do or see. I'd go back in a heartbeat."
2010358,17719709,2014-08-16,15184974,Violet,Bradley was great and very welcoming.
2010358,18096237,2014-08-21,1845824,Madeline,"We loved our Stay at the Tiny House! The bikes made it even better, we rode all around Austin, a city great exploring on bike. Brad was very helpful throughout our stay. Would stay again, and we loved Austin. "
2010358,18488007,2014-08-27,19229392,Christy,"We can only reiterate all the positive things other reviewers have said. My husband and I saw the movie Tiny and wanted to try out a small house while in Austin. Staying in the Tiny House was definitely a worthwhile new experience. As this was our first airbnb, we didn’t have anything to compare to, but we were totally blown away. Everything was very clean, obviously well thought out and taken care of with everything you could need for comfortable accommodations. The ac was perfect during the hot Texas summer, and the location was just right especially for using the bikes. It’s close to downtown without being right in the hustle and bustle and in a nice neighborhood nearby hip little eateries. Brad was an excellent host who was friendly, eager to help with anything if needed, and checked in with us to make sure we were doing ok. What a fantastic stay! We would definitely recommend it!"
2010358,18767853,2014-08-31,449551,Ashley,This was a great apt. I loved the coffee they provided. The instructions they provided for the apt were fantastic. 
2010358,18996415,2014-09-04,19654735,Linley,"The Tiny House was fantastic! My husband and I enjoyed our time there! We used the bikes to ride around down town -- this was a great feature! The Tiny House had everything we needed for our 2 nights in Austin! Bradley & his wife are very kind & welcoming! They proved great resources for restaurants and things to do around town! We were able to walk down town from the Tiny House location or ride our bikes. We liked to walk down town in the late afternoon and enjoy our evening out then take an Uber ride back to the house. And Uber ride from down town is around $7. We loved our experience at the Tiny House & totally recommend it! 5 Stars! Our favorite things in Austin: kayaking on the lake, watching the bats from under the bridge, Franklin BBQ and the Kung Fu Saloon (free arcade)! Thanks!!"
2010358,19293556,2014-09-09,11842802,Erik,Brad did a great job of communicating before and during our stay. The house is exactly as advertised and in a great location in Austin. Would definitely stay here again.
2010358,19683625,2014-09-16,15065523,Miguel,"Great hosts, great little house, in a great neighborhood in Austin. Did I mention everything was great? Because it was."
2010358,19937097,2014-09-21,4388023,Bill,"Brad is an excellent host, and this is a fantastic, walkable neighborhood.  Brad went out of his way to give us great advice, and as a result we had a spectacular visit to Austin.  And the bikes make it all the more fun and convenient.  It is easy to bike to downtown or Zilker park, just minutes, and quite easy.  

The house is small, no question about that, but it's as big or bigger than hotel rooms that cost 3x as much and don't come with a great guide and bikes!

Brad's family, who live in the house in front of the tiny house and share the deck, was very friendly, but they were careful to give us all the space we wanted.

Every morning we walked to La Medici coffee shop, which has excellent breakfast tacos and good espresso in a friendly atmosphere.  We walked to dinner at Josephine's House, which was excellent.  Both of those are within 5 minutes on foot.  I even walked back to the house from the Austin Convention Center, which was a nice long 40-minute walk, certainly doable.  When we didn't feel like walking, an Uber driver picked us up within 3-4 minutes.  In short, you really can't beat this location, especially at this price.

When we were there, it was really too hot to sleep in the loft area; the AC unit just wasn't powerful enough to reach up there.  We told Brad about that, and I believe he has plans to address that situation.  Probably just a fan would do the trick.  The two fold-out beds in the living area were easy to operate and more than adequate, and the AC cooled that area just fine."
2010358,20107988,2014-09-23,20821245,Jesse,"Loved staying here. The tiny house is cool and the location is nice. Walking distance to some good coffee shops and restaurants. Just about a $10 cab ride to some of the coolest music and bars. Hosts were great, accommodating and gave some good advice on places to go in Austin. You won't regret staying in the Tiny House!"
2010358,20191837,2014-09-25,19733857,Joseph,My wife and I stayed here for 2 nights after we got married. Brad and Gwen were amazing hosts and we will definitely be back next time we're in Austin together!
2010358,20428342,2014-09-29,1197008,David,"I came to Austin for a wedding and flew in pretty late and only arrived around 1 am, the passcode type of lock on the door is wonderful since they don't actually have to be there to meet you to check in or out.

Bradley and his wife Gwen were really helpful and tried to make my stay as easy and enjoyable as possible.  They were always available by phone/text to answer questions or inquiries.

The tiny house is tiny but really comfy. The shower temperature is a bit hard to control to get just right, and the bed in the loft took some getting use to since there is no railing and pretty high up.  I didn't spend much time hanging out there other than to sleep but I found it really nice and quiet. Since it's a separate building, you get a lot of privacy rather than sharing a room in someone else's place.

Also if you don't mind walking, you can get to a lot of bars/restaurants in 15-20 mins to downtown. I walked a lot at night when it was cool out, but took Uber for the day time in the heat."
2010358,20892056,2014-10-07,3452674,Marcella,"We had a lovely time in this tiny house!  Our hosts were super helpful with the ins and outs of Austin.  Plus the location was superb.  Clarksville, itself, has a ton going on.  Not to mention, we were able to walk to Kayaking on the river, Zilker Park and Downtown.  I wholeheartedly recommend this place and hope to be able to return sometime soon!"
2010358,21429669,2014-10-17,1924019,Ross,Bradley's tiny house was ideal. Great neighborhood. This great use of space was clean and sensible. I could not have been more pleased! 
2010358,21731386,2014-10-22,14298311,Jeff,"Brad & Gwen were exceptional hosts. Be sure to ask them about the cool places to visit in Austin! We had a blast! The tiny house is located in a very cool neighborhood which is close by to pretty much everything downtown. And it's cosy, too. Great place! "
2010358,21823704,2014-10-25,10531491,Larae,"The tiny house in Clarksville was great! Bradley and his wife were both very nice and left great suggestions for things to do in Clarksville and Austin. We had a great time staying in the tiny house and felt very comfortable in the loft and on the pull out twin beds. The neighborhood was great - we walked to coffee shops, restaurants, bars, and an adorable old soda fountain. 

Thanks Bradley! "
2010358,21971738,2014-10-27,979130,Jenny,"The Tiny House was cozy, comfy, and very clean! Brad and his family were wonderful hosts, and the location of the Tiny House couldn't have been better - it's in an adorable neighborhood, walkable to many great restaurants + markets.  I only wish I could've stayed longer."
2010358,22099366,2014-10-30,20285571,Yonatan,"I just returned from a business conference in Austin and I thoroughly enjoyed my accommodations which were much more interesting than those of my colleagues!

Brad and Gwen were wonderful hosts who made me feel at home. I was busy most of the time and didn't spend much time in the tiny house, but when I did everything was in order and as advertised. It was especially convenient to be able to communicate with Brad via text message when needed.

The house is a nice walk from the Convention Center. I walked each morning and took a $7-8 cab back at night.

I had a little difficulty with water temperature on my first night. It was probably my fault. Gwen took a look that day to make sure there were no further issues and they were kind enough to leave me a few local beers in the fridge for the inconvenience.

The tiny house is great. The ladder, which is completely manageable, is not for the unadventurous, especially getting down it. It would have been nice to have a light switch and a power outlet where the bed is lofted so that I could charge my phone nearby and turn off the light from bed.

I would definitely recommend staying in this tiny house if you were interested in a unique experience with all the comforts of a small apartment. "
2010358,22393905,2014-11-05,5935186,Erin,"The Tiny House in Austin, TX is an amazing place to stay when visiting this beautiful city! 

The home is about 1 mile from the main city area and very very easy to get to and from - most of the trip we used the bikes which you can rent from Brad for $10 each for your whole stay, city busses, walked, or used Uber ($8 average fare). So re: location it's great!

Then the house itself is very cute and cozy. It's definitely a Tiny House but I never felt cramped or uncomfortable - if anything I felt right at home. Most days we would explore the city all morning and early afternoon, and then come back to the Tiny House for wine and snacks in the late afternoon and it was nice to watch TV in the living area or sit on the back porch which is beautifully shaded by an old oak tree and I love the decor - the little strung lights, big red chairs, and iron table to sit and eat or work at. 

Even though it's a ""Tiny House"" the bathroom is quite spacious (especially the shower!) and the bed is queen size and extremely comfortable. 

Overall my husband and I felt very comfortable at the Tiny House and plan on returning the next time we're in Austin! 

Oh, and most of all - Brad and Gwen are incredible hosts. They are attentive, helpful and super friendly! Gwen often text me ideas of places to check out and even sketches of walking directions (for a tricky place to get to). They are wonderful hosts and make the entire stay even more welcoming and enjoyable. 

I highly recommend that you stay in the Tiny House the next time you're in Austin!"
2010358,22520378,2014-11-09,3464673,Shelley,"Accommodation: The tiny house is exactly that - tiny. But perfect for a couple of nights. Wouldn't recommend for any more than 2 people. The ladder to the loft bed made for a bit of fun. 
Location: It's just a stones throw from 6th St (quiet end), and walkable to downtown. The bike taxis may be reluctant to ride you home (even from the main part of 6th) as it's a bit far for their glutes to handle, but you can generally convince them. Otherwise it's a $10-$20 uber to/from pretty much everywhere. 
The host: One of the best air bnb experiences we've had - mostly due to Brad being such a great host. Despite us staying right behind the main house, it was super private. And although we never actually saw Brad, he was only an email or call away and checked in regularly to see how we were doing. "
2010358,22741939,2014-11-13,7376232,Nora,"The house is tiny, but very clean and well equipped. Brad made us feel welcome and was available for any issues. The neighborhood is great and has some nice coffee shops and restaurants, plus a grocery store up the street. Overall a good Air BnB listing!"
2010358,22945330,2014-11-18,20991701,Michelle,"This was our first time in Austin, first time using Airbnb and first time living in a tiny house--and it rocked! We couldn't have asked for a better time. I was blown away by how friendly and caring everyone in Austin was (including Brad and his wife Gwen). The house was so sweet, totally modern and updated and the neighborhood was close to 6th street, where we spent most of our time. Brad also gave us awesome recommendations for music and food, and not one of them let us down! I would highly recommend renting the bikes during your stay. It was a fun way to explore a new city! Also loved that the house had a code to enter (saved us a lot of time searching for a key every time we left the home). "
2010358,23056066,2014-11-21,23740406,Estefania,"What can I say about the Tiny House? It was perfect for my boyfriend and I! A really neat place to stay with a perfect location. Also it is super clean, everything looks brand new and it's got every comfort we could ask for including temperature control, tv, clean towels, fridge and a microwave. Also, our wonderful hosts provided us with a plethora of recommendations left for us on the counter in 3 typed, easy to read pages. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Brad but we luckily had the chance to meet Gwen briefly who was a pleasure and didn't hesitate to remind us that they would be readily available in case we needed anything. Austin is an amazing city. Make sure to check out Rainey street! And we would definitely stay in the Tiny House again next time we find ourselves in Austin!"
2010358,23586860,2014-12-05,20259597,Nicole,"Wonderful stay. The tiny house is adorable, clean and tidy with fluffy towels and heating/aircon so would be comfortable regardless of weather. Cute little neighbourhood and they even leave a helpful locals guide to the area and Austin. super helpful and responsive. Definitely recommend!"
2010358,23717542,2014-12-08,23537680,Mara,Our stay in the tiny house was great!  We were new to Airbnb and to Austin and I am now a big fan of both.  Brad and Gwen are wonderful hosts with great recommendations that fit your person travel needs. They are very easy to communicate with and responsive to any needs you may have.  The tiny house is perfect for an authentic Austin experience. It's located in a great neighborhood that is close to many great restaurants and really close to everything.  We used the bikes that you can rent with the tiny house and were able to bike and see most of Austin!  We had a great time:)  
2010358,23856417,2014-12-12,24640046,Robi,"Very cute little place. Good location, would definitely recommend!"
2010358,23973515,2014-12-15,6170063,Romana,"Check-in was easy since Bradley provided an access code, so I didn't need to coordinate my arrival with anyone. I met him and his wife Gwen - both were very friendly and checked to make sure everything was okay. The neighborhood is great. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the house - I've been curious about Tiny Houses  for a while and was very glad to have a chance to try one out.   The place was very clean with reliable hot water. For a two-night stay it was great. The ladder to the loft looked intimidating at first, but once I tried it, I had no problems. "
2010358,24190146,2014-12-22,5356356,Tim,"We had a good time in Austin. The tiny house is super fun, very clean and the location is amazing. We had a chance to meet Brad and Gwen and they are so nice; besides that they gave us lots of privacy. The tiny house is for reals tiny (built on top of a trailer) but so cozy. I have already recommended it to friends."
2010358,24314454,2014-12-25,21849590,Richard,"We had a really great two night stay at the tiny house. It was in a great location with a lovely yard and we couldn't have been happier with having rented the bikes. This was our first trip to Austin and the bikes enabled us to sail around the city, meandering all over and seeing a lot of what Austin has to offer. As for the tiny house itself, it offered such an easy way to check in! After entering the lovely fenced yard, we punched in a code and were right in. The tiny house was so clean we had to remind ourselves that there were many airbnb reviewers before us, so we weren't the first to stay. Very comfortable bed, nice little kitchen with coffee, tea, a mini fridge and microwave. The ""couch"" is actually two twin beds, which is great if you're not into loft sleeping and the flat screen tv was a five star touch. The bathroom was spacious and adorable for such a small dwelling and the beautiful natural light coming in from one of the many windows. We didn't make use of the yard, but it was so cute. Gwen and Brad were very sweet and super attentive. We are so happy that we found this awesome spot to stay! Thanks!"
2010358,24710168,2015-01-02,9613363,Rebecca,"My boyfriend and I had a fabulous experience with the tinyhouse on our first trip to Austin!

Location: perfect! I was happy to learn Clarksville is a quaint neighborhood within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and bars.  I liked our ability to come back to a quiet area without giving up that close proximity to downtown. Also, we never had a problem parking our rental car which was wonderful considering parking downtown can be a pain

The tinyhouse:  
everything we needed!  The space is fresh bright and cosy. We were a bit nervous to stay in a tinyhouse having only used hotels but when we arrived we couldn't have asked for more. The bed was so comfortable and if you don't feel like going up and down the latter the couch easily pulls out into beds.  The bathroom was full size ( I was worried it would feel like camping, but it was big enough with a great shower). 

Hospitality:
Couldn't ask for better hosts!  Brad was always available to answer any questions and made our first airbnb experience super easy. The house had great touches like organic soaps, Austin magazines, and pretty outside lights to turn on while sitting and relaxing on the patio.  The bike rental was a major bonus. It seems as if everyone in Austin bikes and we didn't have to find a place to rent them...very easy.   All in all a wonderful value and wonderful experience. "
2010358,25660935,2015-01-22,5978891,Evelynn,"The Tiny House is in a great location for a trip to Austin. Clarksville is a very sweet neighborhood, and within walking distance or a short cab/Uber ride to most major sites in town. Brad and Gwen were excellent hosts - very welcoming, always available to answer questions and accommodating. The bed in Tiny House is very comfortable and overall the place suited our needs. "
2010358,25929384,2015-01-30,18739237,Ashley,"Stayed in the house for almost a full week while travelling for work.  Bard and Gwen were very hospitable and made sure I felt comfortable reaching out to them for suggestions. The space was very clean and comfortable, and very central to other neighborhoods."
2010358,26129799,2015-02-04,468603,Aly,"Brad and Gwen are fantastic hosts. The place was clean with fresh towels, sheets. Location is awesome, close to the hustle and bustle but in a quiet and quaint neighborhood.  Hope to call Tiny House home when we visit again! "
2010358,26294446,2015-02-09,2459619,Haley,We LOVED experiencing the tiny house! It's the perfect place to come home to after a day around Austin! Plus the code on the door makes it a breeze to come and go without worrying about keys. It was super nice that it was within walking distance to a great coffeeshop and free parking on the street. The tiny house lets you feel like you have a house in Austin for a bit:)
2010358,26419319,2015-02-12,4158382,Christina,"The tiny house was Perfect!! I stayed with my mom for her birthday vacation in Austin. I slept in the loft and my mom said she was comfortable and slept great on the pull out couch. The loft bed is very comfortable. The house is very clean and set up thoughtfully so it has everything you need! We had plenty of fresh towels. Having the mini fridge and small microwave was convenient. We walked everywhere and felt very safe and had phenomenal food, coffee, salon, and drink places in close walking distance. We had a car and never had a problem finding parking in the street right next to the house. Brad and Gwen are wonderful hosts and extremely nice and helpful. We probably could have talked to them all day about Austin and places to go and see. I will definitely stay here again for future trips to Austin and I can't say enough good things about our stay in the tiny house!"
2010358,26673203,2015-02-17,23512824,Monica,"It was really lovely staying in the house. I spent the 2nd part of my stay down town, and I was happy to have had a stay on the west side of town because it gave me a chance to see more of Austin than I would have. Having the use of the bicycle was great - again, I was able to see more of the city and to do more. Couldn't have been happier. Bed super comfy too :D"
2010358,26789259,2015-02-19,4725819,Laura,"We had a lovely time at the tiny house! Brad provided everything we needed, including an awesome list of tips for things to do around the neighbourhood! The area they are in is beautiful, and we found it totally reasonable to walk to downtown from the house. We loved the fact that the door opened by a code,  so we didn't need to worry about how to get keys. The tiny house was perfect for us :)"
2010358,27053526,2015-02-24,10949628,Bean & Beth,"Such a great stay in the tiny house. It's VERY tiny but had everything we needed. The location is amazing -- If you like walking, downtown is totally accessible by foot. Otherwise, the bus is a 5 minute walk away and cab rides are about $6 from downtown. The bikes were also a huge plus -- they're old and a bit worn but if you're just using them to cruise around, they're fine. Brad was a lovely host -- there when we needed him and more than accommodating.  We highly recommend a stay in the tiny house -- cozy, romantic and comfortable."
2010358,27145731,2015-02-26,22625771,Tyler,"This is a very comfortable space in a great neighborhood just outside of downtown Austin.  Everything I needed to completely relax when I was not at my convention.  There are a few great shops and restaurants within close walking distance.  The neighborhood was very quiet while I was there and it seemed to be a perfect little place to have a tiny house.  
While my schedule didn't allow me to connect with the hosts, all of their communication was great, friendly, and they made sure I had what I needed to enjoy my stay!
I would definitely stay again should my business bring me back to Austin.
Private Note for any tallettes out there: I'm 6'10"" tall and was comfortable here - the maximum standing height in the entrance and bathroom is about 6'8"" or so.  Prepare to duck/slouch accordingly - plenty of room in the open area and bed :)"
2010358,27232803,2015-02-28,8108720,Chris,"I was in town for business and was looking for a place close to downtown.

It was very clean and provided everything we needed for our stay. Brad and Gwen were terrific hosts and exceeded our expectations. Austin is a wonderful city and it's full of friendly people. If you are going to Austin you MUST check out the tiny house. 
2010358,27842553,2015-03-13,1329831,Madeleine,"Tiny House with Bikes was exactly as advertised! Lovely set up and location, Brad & Gwen were very welcoming and had a whole list of recommendations for the area which was great. I was able to bike and car2go to the conference center with ease – and walked the slightly longer walk back a couple of times too. All-in-all a wonderful home base for my introduction to Austin, would definitely recommend it!"
2010358,28116046,2015-03-18,3362345,Mike,This place was a perfect house to stay at for SXSW. I would highly recommend it to people for their stay in Austin. I will be back next year!

We were lucky enough to have a conversation with Brad and Gwen while we were all in the backyard. They were very friendly and had perfect tips about cool stuff to do in Austin. They even have a three page guide in the Tiny House listing fun stuff to do and see. 

The Tiny House was clean, modern, exactly like the pictures. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked well, and there was even cable TV. We felt like we were in a cool, secluded hotel. The bikes worked perfectly, as well. The house was a short bike ride to every cool spot in Austin.

This was our first stay in Austin, and we will definitely be back to stay in the Tiny House again."

A perfect location for walking, biking, or driving downtown, and in a gorgeous neighborhood with a fantastic local coffee shop a few blocks away. Brad and Gwen were a text message away and checked in to make sure I was enjoying my stay, not only in the Tiny House but in their city as well. They left a list with some great tips for dining out, a map of the city, and places to check out. I will definitely stay with them again on future visits!"
2010358,29826422,2015-04-13,11292335,Lauren,"We had a wonderful stay in the Clarksville Tiny House!  Brad and Gwen were both very welcoming, checking to see if we had everything we needed and leaving a helpful guide to the area.  The tiny house was impeccably clean and very cute inside, with room to lounge and arrange for our things.  It is conveniently located in beautiful Clarksville, near a number of our favorite Austin restaurants and within walking distance of Lamar, 6th, pease park, and town lake.  there isn't much better than an evening walk around Clarksville, either!  "
2010358,30209100,2015-04-19,14980592,Bridget,The tiny house was perfect for me and my stay in Austin! The location was excellent and great for exploring. The house is right down the street from the galaxy cafe which was on their list of recommendations and was great for breakfasts! I didn't get a chance to meet brad because of scheduling but I did meet his wife and she was very nice and accommodating. I would definitely considering staying here again my next time in Austin. 
2010358,30384876,2015-04-21,27652605,Shaun,"Brad and his wife were extremely welcoming and offered a ton of excellent advice.  We enjoyed the location and the tiny house, both were very quiet which was nice to get away to sleep from the busy Austin nightlife.  They are close enough to make it to the action either by bikes or a cheap uber! The tiny was extremely clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!"
2010358,30856816,2015-04-28,26019158,Holly,"The Tiny house is exactly that, tiny - about the size of a dorm room! My friend and I were at a conference most of the day so we weren't hanging out. It is tight quarters for 2 friends but it works. It's clean, cool and comfortable. The neighborhood is good. We felt safe and there are plenty of stores and restaurants close by. We had a car and were able to park next to the house each day we were there. The only real bummer was that there is no freezer in the mini-fridge (I brought an ice pack for bagged lunches...so I wasn't able to make that work) and you cannot use the stove (only the microwave). It didn't register with me that kitchenette with microwave meant microwave only - I should have asked. All and all it's a really cute place that is safe, cool, and clean. The hosts Brad and Gwen are super nice and accommodating."
2010358,31125215,2015-05-02,30124147,Sarah,"Brad and Gwen were awesome. The tiny house was legit! Exactly the experience we were looking for. The bikes were a the perfect touch because we got to explore the neighborhood... and its a good one! Tons of great restaurants in the area the 2 of them recommended. Oh and we even had room to do an Insanity workout on their porch!! Great, cozy place for 2! "
2010358,32055242,2015-05-13,27273182,Leah,"The tiny house was absolutely lovely, and the neighborhood of Clarksville was a gem. I walked to beautiful restaurants nearby and heard great music right there. Brad and his wife were so nice and helpful. I loved my stay. "
2010358,33220363,2015-05-26,25797306,Daniela,"Everything was great!  Check in was very convenient.  The house was a short walk to downtown.  We walked it a few times to 6th street.  Other times, we took an uber which was only about 5-6 dollars.  The place was very clean, and the bed was really comfortable.  Brad  was great host, and he checked in with us to make sure everything was going ok.  I would definitely book again!"
2010358,33454928,2015-05-28,3513801,Fiona,"Brad and his wife were amazingly hospitable. They were incredibly helpful and had a descriptive list of suggestions with things to do and see in Austin for everyone. We used this as our guide an followed it everyday. 
The tiny house is beautiful and immaculately clean. 
Brad and Gwen were very considerate and communicative and were an absolute joy to stay with as they go above and beyond. I highly recommend staying at their gorgeous tiny house. "
2010358,33787562,2015-06-01,20706166,Jessie,"Brad & Gwen were the sweetest hosts, they had a list of place to eat and check out walking/biking distance. The bikes they offer are a great deal and we had an awesome time checking out the city on them. They made us feel at home, and checked up with us to see if we had everything we need. The Tiny house is in a central location, a uber ride to downtown was around $5, and to South Congress $13. This place is a great value and will definitely stay there again when we go back. "
2010358,34052491,2015-06-04,28129924,Jeanne,"Austin...Wow. So much to see, so much to do. The Tiny House--perfect for a couple of nights for two who want to see and experience the various things Austin has to offer; The Tiny House is clean, fresh, stylish. Brad and Gwen - breaths of fresh air, all-around good people, friendly, helpful, accommodating. Neighborhood- family friendly, safe, bike-friendly, walkable. Walking or biking distance to Lady Bird Trail Loop, restaurants and shops. Wooden privacy fence surrounds main house and The Tiny House which contributed to our feeling of security. Such a soul-inspiring getaway for me and my daughter. Brad and Gwen, Thanks from the bottom of hearts.

Jeanne and Julie"
2010358,34446264,2015-06-08,7078171,Benji,"Brad and Gwen were excellent hosts and were very attentive to us during our stay at Tiny House with Bikes! 

The house itself was very clean and had a very functional layout.  Also, it was within walking distance to several places we wanted to go to in Austin.

Street parking was easily accessible and surrounding neighborhood was walkable and well kept.

We will stay there again whenever we come back to Austin."
2010358,35105258,2015-06-15,30229067,Olivia,"My boyfriend and I stayed here on our recent trip to Austin and it was amazing! Brad and Gwen were lovely, and the space was extremely clean and welcoming. Plus the location is perfect for those interested in exploring Lake Ladybird and downtown. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!"

2010358,37714309,2015-07-09,11490602,Tyler,"I am from Austin and was just looking for a Tiny House adventure. Brad and Gwen's Tiny House was an amazing experience!  First of all, the location was perfect and easy walk or bike to some of the hottest spots in Austin.  Brad was there to welcome me in the house and later I met Gwen on the porch, both of them are super cool.  The house itself is everything you come to expect from a Tiny House; everything you need, nothing you don't.  Their's was exceptionally clean, well stocked, and extremely comfortable.  I would definitely stay here again.  Thanks y'all!"
2010358,39581750,2015-07-24,31019515,Tom,"Brad and Gwen's 'Tiny House' was a great spot for a couple of days checking out Austin. It really is small, but perfectly proportioned to ensure you don't feel cramped. The neighbourhood is very beautiful with some wonderful nearby restaurants across all price bands -- I paid repeat visits to 24 Diner which is a 10-15 minute walk away and EXCELLENT. Brad and Gwen themselves are model hosts, very welcoming, generous with information and extremely responsive. A tiny issue with hot water (which turned out to be me being dumb!) was answered immediately and with wonderful cranberry scones."
2010358,40097820,2015-07-28,8254731,Peter,"If you're wanting a great Austin experience, this is the place. Awesome. Our hosts were very kind, and they gave a thorough and excellent set of recommendations for the neighborhood and Austin in general. The tiny house was spotless, checkin was a snap even though we had a late flight, and I gotta say, it's one of the best places I've stayed, ever. Three minute walk TOPS to some great restaurants, groceries, coffee and even a DANIEL JOHNSTON mural! The location has that neighborhood vibe, and still you're so close to all the great things the city has to offer.

The tiny house itself was a great experience. The place is small, but it's not all that different from a hotel space-wise. The difference, and what makes the tiny house great, is the vibe. The place is so comfy and welcoming, and it's easy to settle in right when you arrive. Plus, you're welcomed there by some nice folks. When you come back for the night, it's to a quiet neighborhood and a front door, which is a great feeling.

I wholeheartedly recommend the tiny house. As an AirBNB user and to friends. Seriously, I recommended it to a friend who's visiting Austin later this year. "
2010358,41245182,2015-08-05,38289514,Cecilia,"The house was adorable, well furbished, clean & comfortable. I got routine texts checking that I had everything I needed and felt so welcome. Great location! Thanks so much, will be back!"

2010358,45677912,2015-09-05,2335852,Jimmy,My wife and I had a great time staying in the tiny house with bikes. All our tiny needs were met. We really enjoyed the quietness of the neighborhood coupled with the close proximity to downtown and the south congress area.
2010358,45908244,2015-09-06,30046049,Kaitlin,Was clean. The little house was super cute. Bikes were a great touch and Brad was really nice. I would recommend staying here. Visited on my honeymoon and had a great time. Wish we stayed longer! 
2010358,46136747,2015-09-08,32935153,Jacquie,"The tiny house was perfect for our short visit to Austin! Brad and Gwen made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. They were great to communicate with before, during, and after our stay. Plenty of great bars, restaurants, and coffee shops nearby. We couldn't have asked for a better location, accommodations, or hosts!"
2010358,47499159,2015-09-19,6254515,Leah,"Really fun getting to try a tiny house, and we enjoyed the nearby restaurants and shops. (Which were easy to find thanks to all the info provided by the great hosts!)"
2010358,47640854,2015-09-21,8529211,Erica,"It was great. Brad contacted me with the code for the door to get into the tiny house and we checked in on time. Brad and his wife reached out to us to make sure things were ok and asked if we needed any suggestions for what to do in Austin. The place was clean and well managed. The bed was comfy and the bathroom surprisingly roomy for a tiny house. We were warm in the lofted bed the first night but figured out that putting the fan below and blowing cold air up to the loft was the solution and on the second night it was cooler up top then below. We would definitely stay in the tiny house again. They let us use the outside porch which was illuminated with lights and had a table and chairs later at night. It was perfect once the hot weather cooled off for the day. 

"
2010358,48471895,2015-09-26,44738827,Steve,"My wife and I stayed in The Tiny House on our way to Fredericksburg from Houston. It was a great location that made it easy to walk to West 6th Street for a bite to eat and have a few drinks. There are also a few restaurants nearby (within a few blocks) that seemed really nice, but we chose to walk a bit further. The size of the Tiny House was perfect. It was comfortable, VERY clean, well lit, safe location and easy to get to. We will definitely stay here again sometime! "
2010358,48812735,2015-09-28,13537512,Dina,We had a great experience at the tiny house. It was very clean and accommodating in a great location... Quiet neighborhood. Brad and Gwen were awesome hosts. Would stay again.

Easily walk to Whole Foods on Lamar. Great restaurants and cafes nearby. Super clean (spotless) and very attentive, but not intrusive, hosts.  Thanks for everything!"
2010358,52687621,2015-11-01,20690457,Ann,"Brad and Gwen were great hosts.  The tiny house was the perfect place for me to stay while I was in town for a conference at the convention center.  The tiny house had everything I needed; great attention to details, such as a wine opener and a lantern for the loft bed.  I would definitely recommend the tiny house."
2385701,10983586,2014-03-16,2487486,Lauren,"Christopher was an amazing host! He was easy to communicate with and even had some goodies waiting for us when we arrived. 

His place was, immaculate, exactly as described and in a very desirable location, right off of South Congress street (lots of great boutiques, eateries, food trucks, etc.) 

Next time I come back to Austin, I'm definitely staying here again! Thanks so much Christopher! "
2385701,20842316,2014-10-06,3102985,Patrick,This is a great house. Chris allowed for us to get in early and was very accommodating. The neighborhood is great and is walkable to all the cool bars and shops of SOCO. I would suggest this property to anyone going to the Austin area. Thanks Chris!

The house was immaculate, spacious for the three of us, and more than met our expectations. "
3101547,14805988,2014-06-26,714605,Charles,"Wow, my stay at Sha's house was simply magnificent. His house has a lot of character and really nice inside and out. It's tastefully furnished,  spacious, and meticulously clean. The bedroom was really comfortable. The location was not far from south congress and barton springs. The neighborhood is chill, staying there made us feel very relaxed.

Sha was the best host one could hope for. He offered good breakfast foods, strong coffee, and even wine. Sha is the Austin guru. He knows the best food places and cafes in Austin. Want Austin famous breakfast tacos and bbq? Sha will tell you the places the Anthony Bourdain would regret missing out on.  One of his restaurant recommendation, Tuk Tuk Thai, I went to twice! (you can't have just one eggroll) 

Need a fun place to get your party on? Sha knows all the hippest spots. He will give you a list of lively bars, concert venus, and dance halls that are 90% douche free and mostly locals.  If you are lucky enough to stay at this place, don't you even think about opening up the Trip Advisor or the Yelp app.

In all, Sha was a really sweet and interesting guy. Staying at his place made our trip really enjoyable.

4025723,22335402,2014-11-03,14012857,Abby,The place was clean and just as shown in the photos. It was nice to have coffee available to make as well as shampoo/conditioner to use.  And it was great having our own driveway. Very accommodating and great location. I would definitely stay here again.  The only downside was that there were people staying in the other space above and you could hear their footsteps.  But overall it is a lovely place and would stay again.

Congress and Lamar St. It's a stones throw from a ton of cool bars and restaurants, and we had a blast while staying there. Bradley was super helpful with suggestions on the best places to go, food to eat, and beer to drink. Cannot wait to go back! Thanks again Bradley!"

Bradley is a great communicator, and left us a few thoughtful items to enjoy our stay. The nearby shopping and eateries are fantastically cool - best of Austin, from what I can tell. Hope to visit again sometime!"
4025723,38595257,2015-07-17,6625398,Cheryl, Bradley was fantastic!!!  It was just like the description but roomier!  I had a hard time with the AC unit because I've never messed with one like that before. But it sure worked great!!  We all had room to spread out in and it was such a short trip to my children's Camps!!  If we ever need a place in Austin i will re-book with Bradley for certain.
4025723,40037875,2015-07-27,33658586,Teruaki,"I think we stayed here for a total of 8 nights. We were originally supposed to stay 6 but at the last minute we found we needed a couple of extra nights, and Bradley was very quick to confirm our change our reservation, which was appreciated. The room is comfortable, quiet, and private, and it's very easy to come and go as you need to. We had our two kids with us, so there were 4 of us staying there, and there was plenty of space. Everything works in the kitchen, and that was handy for us. Convenient to have a washer/dryer in the room, too. All in all, very pleased with this stay, and Bradley was very friendly in our interactions with him. "
4025723,45968078,2015-09-07,1821062,Katie,"My friends and I had a great time staying at the Abbey Studio for Labor Day. Beds were comfortable, everything was clean and all the necessary amenities were provided. The Abbey is on a quiet street and just a few minutes drive to SoCo, the Broken Spoke and downtown. Bradley was also kind enough to let us stay past the usual check out time given that our flights were later in the day, and he agreed to an early check-in as well. I would absolutely recommend this place!"

4025723,52044654,2015-10-26,36234886,Dan,"Bradley was a great host.  We met up on day of check in and talked about the area.  The description and photos are spot-on.  I was really impressed by the studio.  It has a very unique charm with the etched concrete floors.  Very clean and well cared for.  The location is situated on a quiet street, and access to local areas is easy.  I was within 10min of SoCo, however, South Lamar has a lot of it's own character, and I really enjoyed trying out restaurants and stores in that area.

Bradley did a great job of giving me information both prior to and after I arrived about check-in as well as some good recommendations for food in the area.

I would highly recommend and I would gladly stay again when in Austin."
1920342,10918134,2014-03-13,10605167,Doug,"Shannon's airbnb experience was excellent!  Before arriving, she reached out to see if I had any questions about Austin.  She also sent out a PDF explaining all the details I would need during my stay.  Her place is really close to all the fun of downtown and is very comfortable.  I walked to most places but I noticed there is a Austin B cycle station at the end of her block.  Very convenient.  She made sure I was comfortable and I would definitely stay here again!"
1920342,11164504,2014-03-23,452895,Ulf,"Highly recommended - a nice & clean room in a freshly renovated 1-story private home with a really charming host! Private entrance with micro-patio (to be equipped with chairs soon), clean and modern shared bathroom. If you're traveling with public transport enjoy the bus stop right across the street, you'll get downtown in about 15 minutes and to the airport in less than an hour. I was even offered a lift to the airport ... The fancy SoCo district with its cafes and restaurants is in walking distance (ca. 20 min). This is really a great place to stay in Austin."

She was a wonderful host, provided breakfast and fresh coffee, and her home was stocked with any and all possible amenities.  I was also able to walk to many of the austin hot spots, which was much appreciated."
1920342,12631682,2014-05-06,14327301,Teresa,"Shannon is a lovely hostess and her house is warm and welcoming--a wonderful stay! I spent three days in Austin, was traveling solo, and it was my first time in the city. Shannon was delightful, inviting me to join her and friend for ice cream the first night, sharing recommendations for food and sites to see. The neighborhood is perfect, an easy walk to yummy food trucks, nightlife, and Austin sites. I walked everywhere, sometimes returning late at night, and felt completely safe. A highlight of the trip was getting to know Shannon and learning about Austin through her experiences. I'm looking forward to staying in touch with her. If you are interested in an authentic Austin adventure--I highly recommend a stay at Shannon's place. "

I had a perfect stay there, and this was for sure not the last one - I would immediately book this again when coming to Austin. "

The neighborhood is quiet which is fantastic (especially during any festival). The house itself is spacious, well decorated, and has everything you need. "
1920342,22553656,2014-11-09,23044595,Akshay,"Shannon was a fantastic host. The instructions to enter the home were clear and simple. The home is beautifully kept and has a contemporary feel. Shannon was friendly and generous by providing coffee/tea and breakfast if needed and was a friendly and professional hostess.  The neighborhood is a coveted neighborhood in Austin and there's a bus right across the street to get into and around town. 

Staying here was perfect for my weekend conference. 

Thanks Shannon! "
1920342,25778816,2015-01-25,22115599,Laura,"Shannon's home was very comfortable, quiet, and well-located for walking around Austin. Right down the street there are world-class restaurants, a huge park with trails and activities, and downtown sites. I felt well taken-care of in her darling space. "

1920342,28119082,2015-03-18,423212,Elizabeth,"I stayed with Shannon during SXSW Interactive 2015. She was an incredibly welcoming host and the room was  great. She provided a full Google Doc of House and 'hood-related info before I arrived. She also provided granola, milk (various types!) and coffee each morning for breakfast. 

The neighbourhood is fantastic - I could walk to the events south of the River, and even stroll to a yoga studio for a pre-SXSW stretch. I walked downtown (or walked back from downtown) most days, but when I was running late an Uber cost me less than $7. Easy! 

I would definitely stay with Shannon again."
1920342,49475990,2015-10-04,14949486,Eric,"We would happily stay at Shannon's place again. The home was comforting, full of treats and amenities and the neighborhood was ideal for walking to Zilker Park."
1920342,50275435,2015-10-11,18114235,Greg,Shannon was a wonderful host who made us feel so welcomed during our trip to Austin! The bed was awesome and we got a great night's sleep each night before the festival. Shannon even left us fresh fruit and granola in the mornings! She was an exceptional host and it was truly a pleasure to be her guests during ACL.
1920342,52789333,2015-11-01,47406465,Emily,"Shannon was friendly, accommodating and very sweet :)"
3288517,14991526,2014-06-30,3196974,Justin,"We were the first guest of Jason's beautiful home after it's renovation.  The pictures currently up do not reflect it's more modern condition.  The place is wonderful, and our group certainly had no qualms with the house.  Jason in particular was most accommodating, rushing to get us ping-pong balls at the drop of a hat for the brand new ping-pong table.   

If I had to gripe, I'd note that the neighborhood is less than ideal (though I imagine things are changing in Austin all the time).  Don't expect to be walking anywhere in that Austin heat, but the house is a one minute cab/drive to Rainey and plenty of other attractions.

All-in-all a most pleasure experience.      "
3288517,16517368,2014-07-28,13790413,Kevin,"The house was amazing. Jason was very accommodating and helped me out immensely. I was visiting with a group of 9 to celebrate a bachelor party, and the house was perfect! Game room, beer pong table, bags, etc. Best of all, everyone had their own bed which was huge! We walked to the bars on E. 6th which were a lot of fun, also it was only a $5 Uber to Rainey or W. 6th st.  I would highly recommend this house for any large groups looking for a great time. "
3288517,19623513,2014-09-15,20410729,Dan,"Description and look is exactly what you see in the pictures.  Has the ability to accommodate 12+ comfortably.  Great big common spaces.  Nice clean bathrooms.  Updated appliances etc.  Washer dryer as well.

Very clean and everything is up to date and working properly.  It rained while we were there, so having the fooseball, games, etc was a huge plus.  

Location was solid.  Short $5-7 uber to Rainey St, and all the bars on 6th. 

If I came back to Austin and needed a similar amount of people, I would definitely come back to this house.  

Jason was great.  Extremely responsive and answered any and all questions.  

All around, great time, and great experience.   "
327911,914672,2012-02-11,832741,Rick,"Petra and her family were great, very accomodating! "
327911,999315,2012-03-14,248307,Christine,"I had the best time staying at Petra's house! Petra and her mom are generous, interesting, accommodating and their room was perfect! It felt good to come back to this quiet neighbourhood after the madness of SXSW. It is about a 30 minutes ride from downtown and is very well located. I'll be back here next year without a doubt! :)

Thank you so much Petra and mom! :) "
327911,1017939,2012-03-19,1761358,Joseph,"Our stay with Petra was great! We went to Austin for SXSW and were pleasantly surprised by the accomodations, the convenient bus routes, and the many interesting people that we met at the house. Highly recommend it!"
327911,1124751,2012-04-13,1916628,Anthony,Petra & her mom were the perfect hosts. Would definately stay there again when in Austin.
327911,1205855,2012-04-30,2226224,David,"My stay was wonderful! Petra was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and helpful! Her suggestions for where to go and what to do were great. Her house and the room were both wonderfully and simply decorated. I really liked the beautiful wood floors. It was a great environment. I really enjoyed staying here!"
327911,1276721,2012-05-14,2035839,Petra,"I could not have stayed at a better place than with Petra and her family!!!!
Thanks for the hospitality and good luck in  all your endeavours.

Petra"
327911,1380360,2012-05-29,2468769,Alexandre,"Very comfortable room, and convenient location right next to a bus stop that goes straight to Austin"
327911,1408228,2012-06-03,1673161,Len,"I couldn't have been accommodated better, allowing as much privacy or conversation as i desired. The house is clean and interestingly appointed with art from travels of the host the world over. Neighborhood felt safe and convenient to downtown and central Austin."
327911,2808152,2012-11-05,306301,Matthew,"I arrived to find an amazing little room and every resource I might need for a comfortable stay. Expect the highest quality of hosting and whatever level of privacy you might need. Thanks, Peggy!"
327911,2893108,2012-11-15,2558806,Cade,"Great bed. Great room. Great family. I couldn't have had a better place to stay for a few days. And on top of that, it was last minute, and Peggy was very responsive and accommodating."
327911,2925385,2012-11-20,2464613,Christy,"This was my first time using Airbnb to find a room and was very pleased by the experience.  I think I lucked out finding such a nice place to stay.
I had plenty of privacy, the room was nice and my favorite thing was
the shower.  Peggy and Danielle were very friendly and helpful.  The location was perfect.  "
327911,2992488,2012-11-29,4062765,Maria,"Peggy, Bill and Danielle were all warm and welcoming hosts. Their beautiful home is full with really interesting books and decorative items from their many trips throughout the world. The room is very comfortable and clean, and they really make you feel at home. I was personally lucky to have found a friend in Bill as well, who happened to be in town and shared a few walks and wonderful stories with me through downtown Austin. If I'm ever back in Austin, I'll definitely be staying with them again, and I hope they visit me too wherever I am in the future! :)"
327911,3312991,2013-01-08,488713,Rusty,Excellent. Coffee and friendly company. Recommended.
327911,3404858,2013-01-23,4195579,Moritz,"I only spent a night here traveling cross country. Both Peggy and her daughter were welcoming and helpful. The room was clean, the bed comfortable, they provided towels, internet a bicycle and coffee in the morning. It took about 30 min to cycle downtown. I can definitely recommend them!"
327911,3439343,2013-01-29,1535088,Ronie,"Great atmosphere! Very accommodating and flexible hosts with a plethora of kitchen utensils, cooking pots and tupperware. Easy in and out located in a safe neighborhood. I was able to use their bike all week and they were super helpful with directions and navigation. Comfortable bed, hot water and nice windows for natural sunlight. A great yard, too, for outdoor meditation and meals. I did use earplugs as the bedrooms and bathroom are close to each other and there are hardwood floors with a bit of traffic noise outside. Wonderful experience!!!"
327911,3685157,2013-03-04,2464613,Christy,"I think Peggy's room is becoming a habit.  It is so nice and convenient to the area. This was my second stay and I will definitely stay again!
Thanks to Peggy!!"
327911,3726327,2013-03-08,1766823,Tony,"Peggy and her daughter were great hosts for my last-minute rental, quick to respond with directions and answers to any questions via text & email. Easy location north of U.T. campus, convenient to bus, on-street parking, and within Car2Go area. I had a clean and comfortable room w/shared bathroom & shared wi-fi -- nothing super-fancy or fussy -- at a great price. Thanks!"
327911,3779431,2013-03-14,17872,Jon,Max and I enjoyed our stay at the Kelsey's in Austin. Our host was very hospitable and helpful. The room was simple and tidy – all that we needed. Thanks for having us!
327911,3857946,2013-03-21,4253260,Jessie,"Pegge's house is beautiful place in Austin, it is also convenient to take a bus to go outside. She is also a photographer once living in Africa. She has a great life experience. I learned a lot from talking with her."
327911,3874313,2013-03-23,5503836,Matthew,"Peggy and her daughter were very welcoming. They made my stay in Austin quite pleasant. The room was spacious with a nice desk to get work done in the evening. The location is ideal for walking or biking to different restaurants or the local grocery store. Not far from UT Austin either. Great conversations & great coffee. If I have to come back to Austin I hope there is room at Peggy's!

Thanks for making my first airbnb stay so great. "
327911,3903388,2013-03-26,4152553,John,"Peggy was wonderful, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the local area. The house/room was very clean and easy to get in and out. Neighborhood is quiet, clean and I felt safe having my car parked outside.  A GREAT STAY !!!!!"
327911,3979266,2013-04-01,5213833,Patty,"Peggy and her daughter were great host! Even before I went I emailed her a list of questions such as gym, speciality organic markets and transportation. I decided to get a car bc I needed to be at certain places at different times so it was easier for me to get around. They do have several options to get to places but for what I was doing it was a car was a better option. They are about 15mins from downtown Austin, 2miles from a gym, 2.2m from sprouts and wheatville coop. They let me use their kitchen even spices and tea! If your looking for a quiet place to sleep this is the place! If I ever visit austin again and need a place to stay I'm booking again! "
327911,4683622,2013-05-20,4570762,Clay,I could not have asked for a better experience.
327911,4851632,2013-05-28,6494929,Nicholas,Peggy was great!  We enjoyed our stay very much and used the Bicycles everyday.  We will certainly stay here again whenever we are in Austin. 
327911,5045036,2013-06-09,6702586,Edward,Clean and the owner is nice.  Thank you!
327911,5198418,2013-06-17,1660456,Jesse,"I stayed at Peggy's house for two nights and was very happy with entire experience.  She's taken very thoughtful steps to make guests feel welcome and at home.  Great location, a clean, quiet (and very peaceful) home... I wholeheartedly recommend Peggy and her home."
327911,5430587,2013-06-30,2850871,Leigh,"Peggy's place was great! She and her daughter were friendly, laid back and helpful. Bedroom was quite comfortable. I had a lot of work to do during my visit, and the house is calm and quiet and the bedroom has a desk in it (looking into the pretty front yard) that is perfect to get work done at! Peggy keeps the house at a perfect temperature (not too hot, not too cold), and made space for me in the fridge. Easy to come and go. If I return to Austin as a visitor I will definitely stay here again. Thanks Peggy and Petra :)"
327911,5479507,2013-07-01,4097252,Caroline Sheva,This was a comfortable and clean place to stay and Peggy was a gracious host.  The art inside and pomegranate trees in the front yard were a plus.  Thank you!
327911,5578504,2013-07-07,2181361,Felicity,"Peggy was friendly and accommodating, and I was very comfortable staying in her home."
327911,6086292,2013-07-29,1223608,Luise,"I had a fantastic time at Peggy's place in Austin. It is located in a very nice, quiet neighborhood, close enough to Downtown. The house and my room were perfectly clean and had everything I needed. Peggy is a fabulous host, we shared some nice conversation and I met other very nice people at her place.
I absolutely recommend her place!"
327911,6598288,2013-08-18,7872888,Sachi,"Staying with Peggy was great!  She explained everything about the house clearly, providing towels and wifi information without me asking.  I had access to the kitchen and laundry, and Peggy encouraged me to borrow materials when I needed them (spices, cooking utensils, tools, etc.).  She was also great to talk to - lots of interesting stories.  I would absolutely stay again and recommend Peggy to others."
327911,7738750,2013-10-01,278762,Jule  [You-La],"My husband and I stayed with Peggy and her family for 4 nights and it was just wonderful. Peggy made us feel right at home and we had some interesting conversations over breakfast, ironing or in the kitchen. The house is very cozy and the neighborhood quiet; however, still close to downtown if you are not stuck in rush hour traffic :-) . If you like firm mattresses this room is for you - we slept heavenly!! We warmly recommend Peggy to all Austin travelers!"
327911,7913456,2013-10-08,6886216,Alex,"This was me and my fiancé's first time traveling using AirBnB and Peggy made the experience WONDERFUL! Her house is located in a very quiet neighborhood that allowed us to sleep in, which was nice since we were in town for ACL. Traveling to downtown Austin is extremely easy since her house is located around the corner from the bus stop. The room was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was clean and everything is labeled. We both highly recommend choosing Peggy's house to stay if you are looking for a comfortable place to stay."
327911,49745592,2015-10-05,14132065,Katie,"Peggy was a great host! I made last minute reservations and she made me feel welcome and at home. Her home is comfortable, and I'm glad I made the choice to stay here for my time in Austin!"
327911,50371599,2015-10-11,18834830,Angie,"I don't know how I can accurately describe how awesome this setting was. Petra (Peggy's daughter) was so sweet and helped set-up my check-in so everything went smoothly. Peggy's house is in a cute neighborhood that's very safe with a lot of street parking (which was awesome for me because I hate parallel parking). It is walking distance to a cute coffee/bar cafe and short driving distance to many restaurants. The room I was in had a lot of open space and the most comfortable bed I have ever been on. The bathroom has a very cute and vintage feel and is shared with the other room for rent. Unfortunately, I became very sick during my vacation which hampered a lot of my plans. Peggy was very sweet during the ordeal. She offered coffee/tea in the morning but was ok when I wasn't feeling well enough to join her. When I was very sick at night, she tried to help me as much as she could, and when I needed space in the fridge for drinks, she made room in her extra fridge. I would definitely recommend Peggy's place to anyone who is visiting Austin."
327911,51360395,2015-10-19,2372445,Catherine,"My husband and I had a nice 3 day stay at Peggy's home. Her daughter, Petra, called before our trip to answer any questions, which was very nice. They also sent detailed instructions on using the bus from the airport. We ended up using Uber and Lyft for most of our transportation, which worked out fine.
It was a quiet, casual, relaxed visit. The bathroom is shared with another guest, but we never had an issue with overlapping. 
I would recommend Peggy's home for your visit to Austin.
"
327911,52113230,2015-10-26,45463505,Sarah,Peggy and her husband made our first AirBnB experience a good one. They were very hospitable and good company! The room was clean and well furnished - bed was very comfortable! Location was ideal too. We'll definitely know where to stay the next time we are in Austin. Highly recommend.
1352367,7051887,2013-09-04,3674803,Maurice And Leslie,"Whitney - and Whitney's place - are both great.  East Austin is the place to stay.  Coffee shops and restaurants and easy access to downtown.  Although we didn't get to meet Whitney she was accessible and gave us some good tips for Austin.  Whitney's place was clean, comfortable and cool (both in style and temperature).  Couldn't have asked for a better place. Will stay there again when we are back in Austin."
1352367,7699130,2013-09-30,2631606,Ruth,"Although we didn't met Whitney in person, she was super at responding to emails & offering tips for our stay. The apartment is very cute - full of quirky little items - and at the end of a garden so lots of privacy & quiet. Would recommend as a great base to explore the East side of Austin. "
1352367,7944905,2013-10-09,8005539,Kiersten,"We stayed at Whitney's for four nights. She was very welcoming in person and provided us with some great suggestions on where to eat and what to check out in the neighborhood. During our stay, we met the owner of the property who was also extremely friendly. Whitney's place  is located near bus stops that go downtown and north towards the university. A short walk away on East 6th are tons of great restaurants and bars too. We enjoyed the privacy and quietness of the neighborhood and that we could park our car on the property. We also appreciated that she has a full kitchen as we had anticipated cooking some meals on our trip. However, she did not have a microwave, so we were unable quickly reheat any leftovers we had. Needless, Whitney has a great decorating style which makes her place cozy with personality. She is also very prompt with communication and available to any questions or concerns. I'm excited for the next time I visit Austin as I would highly consider staying at her place again. "
1352367,9690508,2014-01-05,4035437,Jay,Whitney was a great host.  She was very welcoming and helpful in suggesting fun things for my wife and I to do in Austin.  The house was perfect for us and the location was great.  Extra points for the decor and having Led Zeppelin II on vinyl!  We would definitely stay here again.  Thanks Whitney! 
1352367,9991224,2014-01-23,2222323,Bonnie,"My husband and I spent 4 nights at Whitney's place, and had a great time. The place itself is well-decorated and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient - Veracruz Taco Trailer was our favorite breakfast spot while we were there, just a couple blocks away. A ton of cool food spots & bars within less than a mile. We didn't get to meet Whitney, but she was very accommodating, especially on pretty short notice of our arrival. I would highly recommend Whitney's place!"
1352367,10423949,2014-02-18,3258745,Sarah And Josh,"Sarah and I had a great stay at Whitney's treehouse. Lovely accommodations, comfortable bed, clean, fresh linens - we couldn't have been happier. Easy off street parking. All kinds of things to see and do nearby, great restaurants. And Whitney was fantastic. She met us at a convenient time to check-in, was super nice, and gave us great recommendations for local eats. Definitely recommend this spot to others visiting Austin. Thanks Whitney!"
1352367,10917054,2014-03-13,8552883,Rachel,"We stayed at Whitney's place during the first week of SXSW, and had a brilliant time. Her apartment is small but perfectly formed, containing both everything we needed (reliable wifi, a coffee grinder for the perfect morning brew) and everything we didn't know we wanted but did (fantastic eclectic art and curated objects).
The neighborhood is pretty, peaceful and everyone we met was amazingly friendly and welcoming. The local restaurant - Juan in a Million, best name ever! - is the perfect place for breakfast tacos or lunch enchiladas, extremely good value and fantastic service and quality. If you want to work up an appetite for breakfast, there's a great running route down along the river. And getting into the centre is a price of cake: Downtown is a quick 10 minute bus ride or bike ride, or leisurely 30 minute walk. There was nothing we didn't like about The Pecan treehouse, Whitney is a great host, and we hope to return next year - highly recommended!"
1352367,13797473,2014-06-04,15617340,Siobhan,"I stayed at the Pecan Treehouse for 3 nights, it had a lovely decor, comfy bed and was as advertised. The location was great as only a short drive to downtown. Whitney was a great host, always quick to respond to any of my questions and helpful with providing a few recommendations on the area. "
1352367,15426005,2014-07-08,202381,Jade,"Whitney's place is awesome and I had a great time there.  Communicating was easy and effortless and the place is just as cute and cozy as the photos.  Whitney has done a great job of blending Austin-chic decor with comfortable amenities to create a lovely home.  The neighborhood is great, too!  You can easily walk to some great taquerias and the river is just a quick stroll away.  I recommend trying Juan in a Million for breakfast - they are one of my favorite Austin spots and just a couple blocks away.  Overall - great experience.  Thanks Whitney!"
1352367,25552656,2015-01-19,7902884,Josh,"Whitney's place is great. We stayed for a long weekend in January and had a fantastic time. It's very cozy and a short drive to downtown, plus walking distance to a some good bars and restaurants. We'd definitely stay here again. "
1352367,26373481,2015-02-10,26875330,Taylor,I booked this place in preparation for seeing my wife again for the first time in a year. Everything was perfect and I was husband of the year in her eyes! Thank you Whitney!
1352367,29931961,2015-04-14,13376568,James,"Whitney's place was great! It's cozy and well kept with a really cool decor. Although we didn't get a chance to meet her, Whitney was easy to contact and seems very easy-going. Keys were convenient, showers were hot, ac worked well (even though we were there during a cooler season) and the location is convenient to a few really neat spots. Nothing's that far away when you're in East Austin!

Thanks again, Whitney."
1352367,38867185,2015-07-19,35327002,Rikke,"We were not satisfied with the apartment. First it wasn’t so nice as the picture shows. The apartment is more worn and in backyard there was to dogs running around and jumped up of you when you enter the gate that detail we wasn’t informed about. In the text there is standing that it’s a nice neighborhood and we were at school with students and teachers from Austin there said the neighborhood was one with a lot of crime. Now we have problems getting our deposit back. 

Whitney was a great host before we were going and in the beginning but when we checked out she wasn’t there. 
"
1352367,49633612,2015-10-05,2138289,Alicia,"Whitney was a very responsive host and her place was great! It is a small but efficient space conveniently located near bars, restaurants and public transit while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Buses stop around the corner and it's a nice walk to east 6th or downtown. Neighbors (and their dogs!) were all very friendly and the apartment has everything you need."
1352367,50464015,2015-10-12,39362516,Lauren,"Whitney was a great host. This was my first time using Airbnb and she helped me with the process. The experience was great, everything was really easy. Whitney was very quick to respond. The place was super cute!!! Loved it. Great neighborhood, with some fun places nearby. "
900579,3762927,2013-03-12,176994,Joe,"The condo was spacious, clean and looked better than in the photos. It was in a great location close to a few restaurants, cafes, bars and a liquor store, and it was a short walk to downtown. Nathan was a fantastic host and went beyond the call of duty to make sure we had a pleasant stay. Highly recommend this condo or any property that Nathan rents."
900579,3835311,2013-03-19,2257531,Kristoffer,"BEST PLACE TO STAY FOR SXSW, and probably event better for ACL and others! The location is even better than advertised, sleeping 4 more than comfortably and could probably accommodate 5 easily (especially with the 2 full bathrooms). Nathan was extremely understanding when our flight was delayed substantially and was there waiting for us. He also went the extra mile by cutting extra keys so we all could have one! Not to mention left us treats that came in handy after all of the travelling. There was a small music stage out front, and food trucks for easy food, but the Hillside Farmacy literally across the street was one of the best places to eat. Definite must for breakfast or lunch. I only wish we had been there on a normal week so we would actually take the time to wait at Franklin's BBQ, which is only a few blocks away, and arguably the best BBQ in Austin! Maybe next time.
The walk to East 6th and downtown were fast and easy, and the CVS only blocks away were easy to get to without a vehicle. Highly recommended."
900579,4359029,2013-04-30,5150550,Curtis,"Great condo, great location, great host, highly recommended air bnb experience.  "

900579,4967811,2013-06-04,5680841,Colleen,"This was my first airbnb experience and it couldn't have gone smoother.  Nathan's space is very comfortable, clean, and easily fit 5 of us. He was very accommodating and even brought out an extra cot, and the free beer didn't hurt, either. ;) "
900579,5238389,2013-06-19,1207878,Odette,"Nathan is an Airbnb host master- communication and organisation down to a tee. The place is clean, comfortable and well-kitted. He had a key for each person in our party which was great. We did have one small problem with the flat, but Nathan resolved it quickly and professionally. All in all, highly recommended. "
900579,5587419,2013-07-07,4837707,Joe,Nathan's loft worked out great for our July 4th weekend trip to Austin. It is within walking distance to downtown and Sixth Street as well as some interesting restaurants nearby. Checking in and out was very easy and Nathan went over and above his responsibility to make sure we were taken care of.
900579,5920860,2013-07-22,4285384,Becca,Everyone had a great time.  Nathan was very responsive and great to work with!

900579,6816014,2013-08-26,2989076,Sherif,Place was just as advertised.  Clean and new.
900579,7013940,2013-09-03,3457921,Jonathan,"Fantastic place to stay in Austin!  It easily fit four adults and we used it as a launching pad to walk to Franklin BBQ, 6th Street, Rainey Street, and the Capitol.  Highly recommended."
900579,7203660,2013-09-10,3030055,Conrad,"Great location, close enough to the action in downtown, but also in a chill area, with a great place to eat, grab a drink, and enjoy a Austin summer night right below the apartment. The apartment was big and beautiful and Nathan went above and beyond to accommodate us during our trip."
900579,7333541,2013-09-16,5523409,Kristen,"Great Condo in a nice location in Austin - 
Condo is as pictured. Nate was very easy to work with and I would certainly consider staying here if my travels take me to Austin again in the future. 
"
900579,7508489,2013-09-23,7632667,Daniel,"We had a terrific experience with Nathan! It's an excellent space that comfortably fit our group, and the apartment is conveniently located within walking distance of the downtown area. Nathan had clear directions and the unit was very clean upon arrival."
900579,7914881,2013-10-08,1316002,Darin,"Nathan's apartment was great for our trip to ACL Festival.  Very roomy, clean and well laid out for our group of 5 - it could easily handle a few more people without trouble.    Nathan is a great host and provided all the info and support we could have ever needed.

Would definitely stay here again."
900579,8079299,2013-10-15,2498644,Tara,"The apartment is in a great location with plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. Its a good place to stay if you like being near downtown Austin but still able to escape and be apart of a community. The area seems like growing, hip community with plenty of places to keep you busy. And it felt very safe.

Nathan was very accommodating and met up with us upon arrival. He was really easy to get in touch with and approachable. The apartment is secured by keypad entry for the building and apartment. This was incredibly convenient for us since we had a larger party with people coming and going at different times. We didn't have to worry about sharing a key. Just make sure you have a good memory or keep the code handy! The apartment itself was very nice. Maybe a little small for 6 people though. We also got 2 assigned stalls for our stay but there is also plenty of easy street parking.

We had a great time and the apartment definitely contributed to our Austin experience. Thanks Nathan!

"
900579,8248508,2013-10-22,6901453,Theo,"Would highly recommend . Nathan's place was clean, modern, and is great location-wise even if you don't have a car.  The whole process and communication went smoothly. I would air bnb again. "
900579,8561659,2013-11-05,3423693,Aisling,"Nathan's place was in a great location.  The place was spotless and everything worked perfectly.  It was walking distance to the East 6th Street bars and food trucks, and a quick walk to the University of Texas for the Longhorns game.  The Quickie Pickie below was a great place to pick up a quick snack or coffee in the morning on the way to one of Austin's famous restaurants.  Thank you again for a great stay.  "
900579,8599110,2013-11-07,9105867,Stephane,"Very nice apartment not far from the red river district. Space is enough for 5 or 6 people.
Nathan was helpful and responsive to the questions we had.
Just be cautious with the 2nd parking spot (very small even for a compact car)."
900579,8685328,2013-11-12,5537837,Riley,"Great apartment in a great location. For us the location makes this apartment, wonderful shops very near to the place and everything downtown was within 1-2 miles. Apartment itself was very nice, we had 6 people staying and it was plenty of room. Nathan was very nice and on top of everything. Will certainly stay here again."
900579,8887209,2013-11-24,9753773,Jasper,"Luxurious apartment, Nathan has a great sense of style and service. Distance to all the hot spots is great, we could do everything in Austin from 6th street to soco, walking! He even left a few beers for us when we arrived. Def recommend "
900579,9017249,2013-12-02,8990521,Cunyuan,"The apartment is great! The transportation is great! The bus stop just next to the building. And there is a CVS close to that area too. The home looks just like home. Overall, great place."
900579,9183638,2013-12-11,10183121,Leah,"We were new to AirBnB and Austin and had a fantastic and seamless stay at Nathan's place. Great host, nice space, hip neighborhood, super convenient location, and even the night crew down at the Quickie Pickie (conveniently located across the parking lot) were super friendly and fun.

If Nate's place pops up in your available options, go for it!"
900579,9440593,2013-12-29,6357253,Paul,I would recommend Nathan's loft to others and would definitely stay here again when next in Austin
900579,9671207,2014-01-05,7890573,Skip,"This was our first Airbnb experience and was excellent in all aspects. The apartment was clean, spacious and beautifully furnished and in a great location within walking distance of restaurants, bars, a small grocery store etc. Nathan was great at communicating, including explaining the Airbnb booking process. He was friendly and helpful and recommended some great places to eat nearby. We'd recommend the apartment to anyone who wants to stay in a ""real"", vibrant central Austin neighbourhood."
900579,9839236,2014-01-13,10474863,Eric,Nathan's east end loft was great! The lost was very clean and he had plenty of beds for use! I would definitely recommend this for anyone! It's at a great location and it is very close to the Capitol.
900579,9949097,2014-01-21,5270579,Eric,"Nathan's place was great!  Perfect location, within walking distance of everything you could want. The amenities were great and the place was huge and well furnished.  Many good restaurants/bars nearby and an easy drive to/from the airport.  Would stay here again!"
900579,10266614,2014-02-10,11214049,Tabbatha,"Nathan was such a great host. He communicated with me the entire time I needed him. The location is absolutely fabulous. You have shops, restaurants, A quickie picky where you can pick up anything you need. I would recommend this place to anyone with a group of four to five ppl. Thank you Nathan for your hospitality."
900579,10749752,2014-03-05,8414764,Michael,"Nathan's place was in a perfect location for our trip. Nearby great restaurants, bars, and spitting distance from multiple great bbq spots. His apartment was clean, safe, and perfect for our group. 

Thanks Nathan!"
900579,10917078,2014-03-13,7888927,George,"Great location and lovely place, would stay again. Honest and flexible."
900579,11043955,2014-03-18,10198108,Felicia,Nathan was amazing! - so helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend Nathan and his condo. Everything was exactly as listed and it couldn't have been a better trip all around. 
900579,11151431,2014-03-23,1892080,Zach,"Nathan's place was fantastic!  It's very open and bright, which makes it a comfortable place to hang out and play cards at the end of a long, hot Texas afternoon.  We loved the location in a quiet neighborhood with food trucks galore, a few fun shops and museums, and a quick walk to downtown."
900579,12049378,2014-04-22,11669349,Patrick,"This was an all-around great place. Everyone in our group was happy with it. It's in a good location. Easy walk to Rainey St., the Capitol building, 6th St. (or so I'm told by some Austinites who visited us. We didn't actually get to go.) plus many places to eat. It's just a short walk to Franklin's, but be warned, the lines are absolutely absurd. It's only about a 30 minute drive to Lockhart, TX (BBQ Capitol of TX) and about the same to Salt Lick. There is a cool little shop right outside the place too that is like a convenience store but with real food and beer on tap. It was weird but awesome.

Communicating with Nate was just as good an experience. Very friendly guy. He was always very responsive to questions. Whenever I had a question I would get a response no later than the following day but usually within hours. Nate also went out of his way to resolve an issue that was nothing of his doing and that he really had no obligation to do anything about. Seriously, if you're hesitating about renting this place for ANY reason, don't."
900579,20834805,2014-10-06,1915960,J. Allen,Great stay in excellent location!
900579,21208092,2014-10-13,20444048,Edward,Great apartment in a convenience location. Only recommendation for owner is to upgrade some mattresses. I would definitely recommend staying here though. 
900579,21916238,2014-10-26,6278041,Anthony,"Nathan's apartment was perfect -- two big rooms each with two twin beds and a bathroom and shower.  It's also in a good location very close to downtown.  Check-in and check-out was seamless -- we did the whole thing without ever meeting which was very convenient.  Overall I'd highly recommend staying here.

"
900579,22297514,2014-11-03,4464923,Åke,Great location and awesome roomy loft. Had a great weekend in Austin.
900579,27842645,2015-03-13,27910453,Dane,"Nice space. Very comfortable feel, though the beds were not the most comfortable in the world (I didn't wake up at night but don't expect huge plush mattresses. Twin beds. Think IKEA.)

Very good host. Communicates extremely well and articulate. Doesn't bombard you with communications and is very upfront about what is preferred."
900579,28299404,2015-03-22,20402656,Alisa,"Nathan was very helpful and the condo was very comfortable. Made the check in process very short and sweet and the rooms were as expected. There was no queen bed however as shown in the pictures, just two rooms with two twin beds. Otherwise, the condo exceeded expectations in terms of location and amenities. The towels and pillows were better than expected, as were the complimentary bath products. Definitely felt right at home. An amazing place for sxsw!"
900579,48787998,2015-09-28,37725789,Ryan,Nathan's condo was great! The check in process was easy. It's conveniently located close to downtown and walking distance to restaurants and bars.  The condo is equipped with everything you need.  Nathan was easy to communicate with when needed. We hope to return again someday!
900579,49616982,2015-10-05,8183165,Marisa,"Nice place. The neighborhood is great because it has 3 tasty restaurants on the same block. The apartment only has twin beds(which worked for us because we were all friends). On Friday night there was a band playing next door at an outside Jamaican food / bar so it was a little hard to fall asleep but the mornings were super quiet and I enjoyed sleeping in. 

Nathan is easy to work with and I will definitely keep this place in mind next year at ACL. The travel time between the apartment and Zilker Park was under 15 mins. It was perfect.   "
900579,50449590,2015-10-12,40606537,Jonathan,"Nathan was a wonderful host and his place is really fantastic. He was very responsive and answered all questions very quickly. The location is very convenient to downtown and 6th street - either a short walk or even shorter Uber ride - and has a quickie pickie next door, a great liquor store, and restaurant (the Farmacy) across the street. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were all top notch. 

I'd totally stay at his place again next time I'm in Austin. "
692058,8812421,2013-11-19,706180,Jack,Buffy's place is a beautiful condo that has lots of character. The nice pool and a relaxing garden patio area added to the ambiance. She was very responsive to our questions and made the stay flawless. Highly recommended.
692058,11043250,2014-03-18,8681814,Adele,"Wow. Buffy's place is absolutely awesome. We stayed for just under 2 weeks and had a brilliant time. The tower is spacious with a huge comfy bed, great kitchen, washer / dryer, big TV, and lots of privacy. The pool and deck are lovely too - it was just way to cold for us to use them! 

Buffy was a great host - very responsive and a pleasure to rent from - always fast to respond. And she left us lots of local tips for food and adventures.

The tower is fantastic and the photos definitely don't do it justice! It's in a great spot in Austin, right near some great tacos, a neighborhood store and a great coffee shop (Thunderbird). We found it easy to get around - its 8 mins to the metro rail station or 5 mins to a bus stop. Car hire is also pretty cheap in TX.

Thanks Buffy! would definitely recommend your place for anyone visiting Austin :)"
692058,13459316,2014-05-27,4880959,Sarah,"Buffy was kind enough to rent her place to us on quite short notice.  It was clean, comfortable, and very lovely (the pics do not do it justice). The pool was very relaxing, and the neighborhood is also quite nice.  Buffy was quick to answer any questions we had, and her friendly neighbors offered us advice on public transportation, of which was easily accessible from the loft.  We had a wonderful time, and an outstanding first airbnb experience. I highly recommend it! Thanks again Buffy!"
692058,17879750,2014-08-18,7534273,Ami,This was a great place to stay. Close to downtown with plenty of places to explore in between. The pool was awesome after a long day. Everything was perfect. Buffy is a great host. 
692058,19891570,2014-09-20,20616473,Katie,"The apartment is beautiful and comfortable as well as being well-located. The pool wasn't particularly clean or well-looked after so if this is a big draw for you, I wouldn't get too excited.

We did not have a great experience with the host. After a full day of traveling we were left locked outside the apartment for an hour before Buffy returned our calls (and after spending close to $100 on data and phone calls trying to make a plan B in case she didn't get back in touch with us.) 
We were unable to get into the apartment because Buffy had provided us with the wrong keys, but her tone on the phone was accusatory and reluctant to come meet us to open the front door.
Upon realising her mistake, Buffy did apologise but I'd recommend anybody booking to arrange meeting in person to make sure you can check in smoothly.
Arriving back to the UK I was met with text messages accusing us of blocking the toilet, which certainly left a sour taste on the whole experience.

This was only our 2nd Airbnb experience and it's left us feeling less confident in booking through Airbnb in future."
692058,20628473,2014-10-02,11333475,Warren,This was a great and relaxing place to stay. Buffy was a great host and answered all our questions before and during our stay. We would gladly stay here again.
692058,20830717,2014-10-06,16327729,Natalie,Staying at Buffy's made my experience in Austin that much more enjoyable! The loft is just as cute as it is in the photos. The location is a short cab ride away from everything you'd want to see in Austin. The neighborhood is full of food options. Buffy was a great host - always available for questions. 10/10 experience I'd highly recommend staying here! 
692058,21199455,2014-10-13,1727186,Tara,Buffy was very responsive and friendly.  Her house was lovely and clean! There were some interesting bars and restaurants near the house but it was more convenient for us to drive.  We would stay again.
692058,21693229,2014-10-21,22608653,Trent,"Thank you for opening up your home to us, we had a great experience!   The city was incredible, we had a wonderful meal at the salty Sow, the Haymaker pub had great breakfasts along with friendly servers and a fun sports atmosphere...both only blocks from the house!  We also walked to the Longhorns stadium for football game, and we still had Time to enjoy the afternoon on your patio...What can I say about 6th st and surrounding pubs, Loved the live music and open air atmosphere!  Look forward to coming back hopefully real soon..."
692058,21894209,2014-10-26,4021748,Chuck,"We had a wonderful stay at Buffy's loft! Everything was exactly as advertised. The atmosphere was cozy and modern with cool decorations and art, and the furniture was all very comfortable. The layout of the loft is both beautiful and well-designed; it was fun getting to converse from downstairs to upstairs like we were in the same room. 

It was important to us to have a full kitchen where we could make our own healthy meals. We were happy to have plenty of counter space, a cool utility sink, and a functional layout that made it easy for two people to move around and cook. 

We loved the upstairs loft bedroom with the comfy king bed, a desk area perfectly suited for work/computer use, wood floors and  windows overlooking a leafy green back yard. The neighborhood is quiet and surrounded by tall trees, but also just a stone's throw from a few main roads that take you right into town.

We followed another guest's recommendation and checked out the Thunderbird coffee house nearby. It's a hip little cafe packed with college students on laptops and paintings by local artists, and the coffee and cookies are good. Definitely worth checking out.

Buffy was very communicative, fast in replying to all correspondence, and friendly. She even accommodated us checking out a little late on Sunday. Overall, we loved our stay and felt very at home!"
692058,22290090,2014-11-03,6504243,Stephanie,Wonderful and adorable place to stay in Austin!  My husband and I were in town for the F1 race and this loft was the perfect location for everything.  Excellent restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance and downtown was just a short cab ride away.  Buffy was a great host and answered all my questions promptly.  The loft was clean and made us feel right at home.  We can't wait to go back and enjoy Austin again!  
692058,22534355,2014-11-09,19793906,Christian,"Buffy was great welcoming us to Austin and check in was super easy.  The neighborhood is awesome, really quick walk to coffee, BBQ, and breakfast tacos. It was also a quick jog from the UT campus which was nice for the game.

The house was clean and matched the pictures really well.  Very nice office space if you have to work on vacation like I did."
692058,26535253,2015-02-15,16760077,Rob,"Buffy's tower apartment is amazing! Perched high up in the palm trees, the place is flooded with natural light. The design is modern but very comfortable, and looks even better than the pictures. The location is ideal, being steps away from the bars and restaurants on Manor Road, and a short ride to everything else that Austin has to offer. If you're recovering from a huge meal or a big night out, they have all the TV channels in the world and a relaxing patio in the back yard. Buffy was easily reached before and during our stay, and very accommodating to our needs! A great place and a great host. "
692058,28116040,2015-03-18,17876434,Zack,"Staying at ""The Tower"" was as positive an experience as I could have hoped for. As other reviewers have said, the place looks even better in person. There is a separate unit on the first floor, but I never saw or heard them, so it very much felt like you have the whole building to yourself. It's close enough to downtown that it's an easy 5-10 minute drive or 15-20 minute bike ride in, but far enough away that you never feel like you're being crushed in an urban area. I hope that the next time I'm in Austin, I'll be able to stay here again."
692058,28303227,2015-03-22,9812825,Ryan,"Buffy was very accommodating of our time constraints for check in and check out and during the madness that is SXSW that was really great.  The place is super cool, and so close to the train!  You can be downtown in 25 minutes with no hassle.  I would love to stay here for SXSW again next year!"
692058,30708857,2015-04-26,30616314,Lucas,"This was a lovely place, everything about it was nice! Very clean and cozy, we also loved the pool and the deck outside (we lucked out with beautiful weather).  The bed was very comfortable as well! I would rate this place as a 10, great first air bnb experience :)"
7309955,45894559,2015-09-06,23027106,Kendra,"I'm so glad we decided to stay at Amanda and Matt's beautiful home! 

My family was visiting Austin and we decided to rent for the weekend because we like to cook and relax together. The screened in porch quickly became our favorite spot. I really appreciated how generous they were with the small things; the espresso machine filled with really nice coffee, logs for the outdoor fireplace, everything we needed to grill. We were a quick drive to three grocery stores, and a $10 uber downtown. 
Everything was as described, and you could tell they put a lot of care into their home. They also have a super cute kids room that Amanda asked if we needed. 

Amanda was always quick to respond to our questions and cheerful to talk with; her house guide made us feel right at home. 

I highly recommend this place for family or friend gatherings, hope we get to stay here again!"
1141791,6265133,2013-08-05,7834620,Lance,For what I needed this was ideal. I needed little space and the ability to come in late. Cathy was accommodating and pleasant. The place was very clean. The location was close to major arteries so getting around was easy.
1141791,6608566,2013-08-18,1686841,Slade,"Nice, clean house in nice residential neighborhood on the south side. Not at all a far drive to downtown with easy access and limited traffic on 1st and Congress. Rooms are on seperate ends. Cathy is very friendly and has traveled a lot. Recommended! "
1141791,6908806,2013-08-29,8334445,Katherine,"Cathy was a great host! She was very helpful and willing to share her knowledge of Austin. The place was very clean and exactly as described. Overall, I had a great experience and the place was an awesome value for the money. "
1141791,7109563,2013-09-06,8593630,Brittany,Staying with Cathy was great! She's super sweet and hospitable as well as respectful of personal space. Plus the bed was pretty comfy and very clean. I'd recommend it.
1141791,7520348,2013-09-23,8241468,Sahar,"Had a great weekend in Austin! 

Cathy's is really convenient location if you have a car - 15 minutes gets you just about every where. The room and house are spacious, quiet and clean. I got some really good sleep and great recommendations on where to go in Austin from Cathy. Will def go back!"
1141791,7837326,2013-10-05,8993827,Katie,Cathy was wonderful to stay with! The bedroom and bath are in their own part of the house so there is great privacy. Cathy is so knowledgeable in fun stuff happening around the city and even took her time to write down things she thought I would like. Thank you Cathy for everything!
1141791,8026048,2013-10-13,8414980,Matthew,"Cathy's place worked out well for my needs. Very clean, quiet space that really does feel very private which was great. I would recommend having a car or bike to get around, as the the house is bit far from most attractions. Cathy was also super flexible with my schedule which was changing day to day so thanks again for that! "
1141791,8183661,2013-10-19,962515,Sarah,"Cathy keeps a clean, bright, spacious and calm home. The guest room and bath feel very much like their own little wing. Cathy made me feel quite at home and I enjoyed her company. I also appreciate the space and privacy she granted me. See you around Cathy! "
1141791,8547212,2013-11-04,2180353,Pamela,"Excellent! Came to take classes and study, and the desk and chair was so comfy I wanted to take it back home with me. Super clean, stylish and Cathy is utterly cool and fun. Would definitely stay again. "
1141791,8767497,2013-11-17,9311046,Gabe,Cathy was very welcoming and provided a clean room and house with freedom to come and go as I pleased. She also was nice to take me out and show me some of the local Austin places. She's just what you want from a host!
1141791,8818996,2013-11-19,9560708,Stephanie,Cathy was a great host! She was very welcoming and had many suggestions for things to do around Austin. The room and home were lovely. Would definitely recommend!
1141791,9337723,2013-12-22,10073789,Sophia,"I enjoyed my stay with Cathy and I found her to be a great host. She is knowledgeable about things to do and see in and around Austin and was very hospitable in sharing her home with me. The room is a bit small but adequate with a table and chair for computer or writing, and the bed was fairly comfy. The private bath was right across from the room and was nice. She has a home office so works at home so is home quite a bit but was very respectful of my space. We had some interesting and good talks together. I feel, for the price, it is a good place to stay and I would recommend it. "
1141791,10342943,2014-02-14,3178397,Phil,"I second all the good things Cathy's other guests have said. But the icing on the cake was that I accidentally left behind a necklace with big sentimental value, and she went out of her way to return it to me. Definitely recommend."
1141791,10376764,2014-02-16,11939907,Zyad,"Cathy was pleasant, nice and friendly host. Her home is very clean and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and recommend it."
1141791,10782351,2014-03-07,5279556,Tim,"This is a terrific place to stay in Austin.  I attended a conference last minute and most of the hotels were sold out or far from the downtown area.  Cathy's home is very comfortable and clean, and the room/bathroom is at the other end of the house and very private.  She is a great host, extremely helpful and knows Austin quite well.  Public bus transportation within a 6 minute walk and the neighborhood is great.  There's also a park nearby to run in.  Would definitely stay here again!"
1141791,10920650,2014-03-13,11506892,Sarah,"Cathy is a great host, she made me feel very at home and more like I was staying with a friend. She was kind, considerate and really helpful, even driving me to the Greyhound station on my last day. Her house is great, well-connected with good amenities and regular buses, and in a quiet, relaxed part of Austin. Would fully recommend staying with her! "
1141791,11055608,2014-03-18,73211,Jennice,"I had a lovely stay in Cathy's home. I is exactly as described - neat and clean. The room is simply furnished and off on one side of her home with your own bathroom. Cathy's home is a little out of the way, but that was just fine with me and she provided a bike so that I could get to nearby Sprouts for groceries. Be prepared to walk a little bit to catch a bus on either 1st or Manchaca that will take you downtown. Of course, if you have a car it's not really a problem. I had a really nice, quiet stay here and it suited my needs perfectly. "
1141791,11702813,2014-04-12,13979558,Duane & Rebekah,Cathy was awesome! What a cozy place and very clean. It was great having my own bathroom and she has an awesome little table from Africa in the room that you should see. She even let me use her fridge and freezer space for my food. Thanks Cathy! I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin alone.

1141791,11844535,2014-04-16,6924187,Mahdi,"beautiful quiet neighborhood, your own bathroom and shower, comfortable bed, helpful and knowledgeable host!  I had a great experience staying at Cathy's, recommend it 100%"
1141791,12032558,2014-04-21,14294165,April,"This was exactly what I was looking for. The neighborhood was quiet, the room simple."
1141791,12187149,2014-04-25,795965,Jaimason & Candice,"Clean and quiet room centrally located in South Austin. Kathy was kind and gracious. I was in town for an interview, and she was more than helpful in talking about the town and everything Austin and surrounding areas have to offer. I would definitely recommend Kathy's room to anyone staying in the Austin area. 

"
1141791,12442117,2014-05-02,14014833,Alecia,Had a great stay at Cathy's. Her home is in a quiet but easily accessible neighborhood of Austin. Was great to have a private bath beside my bedroom on the other side of the house. Cathy graciously shared her frig and kitchen with me and we even watched some tv together. She gave my some great ideas about things to do in Austin. Would definitely come back to Cathy's place in the future.
1141791,12596790,2014-05-05,2574754,Lars,"Okaj, this is the place you wanna stay! It's in south Austin close to SoCo(south congress av.) It's in a quiet neighborhood. Cathy has a real nice clean house, the room is small but you don't wanna be inside al the time, Austin is a great city;-) You have your own private bathroom as well which is just perfect! Cathy is very helpful and even offers fresh eggs she gets from her neighbor. Love the place and for that price it can't get any better! Thanks Cathy for letting me stay a your little tranquil paradise!"
1141791,12769897,2014-05-10,15227993,Sharad,Cathy was nice enough to accept my very last-minute booking. Everything was as expected and my first experience using airbnb was a good one. 
1141791,13396381,2014-05-26,13081580,Mark,"Cathy was very quick to respond to my last-minute reservation, and the room was perfect for a quiet weekend of studying.  Had I been inclined to venture out more, I would have had a wealth of Austin guides, arranged with impressive neatness, to help me, and Cathy herself was both friendly and knowledgeable about the city, giving me several suggestions for shopping, entertainment, etc. The room was tidy and trendy, the bathroom was clean and modern, and Cathy was happy to chat and answer questions.  Overall a very pleasant experience, and one I would gladly repeat - and recommend to others staying in Austin.  If you want a room that's not right in the hustle and bustle of Austin, but not too far from anything either, Cathy's room is a well-located and very affordable lodging option.  And if you're interested at all in ballroom dancing, Cathy can direct you to clubs, or show you some moves herself.  :)  Thanks for a great stay!"
1141791,13826531,2014-06-05,15241485,Cliff,"Overall this was a positive experience that I'm happy to have had especially for my first time using Airbnb. Cathy is very professional and courteous. She was very quick to respond to correspondence. 
The location was very convenient for me as it is near the people and places I was in town to visit. The neighborhood is very friendly and safe. At no point did I feel concerned for my safety. After checking in, Cathy took a picture of my ID and then gave me a key to the place so I could come and go as I pleased. She even offered use of her bike as Austin is a pretty bike friendly town. She provided some city maps (bus, bike, etc). It was nice to also be able to use the refrigerator and kitchen as I like to make my breakfast every morning. The bedroom and bathroom (soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels were provided) were sufficient and pleasantly private so neither of us had to be concerned about disturbing the other. Cathy was sweet to leave a light on for the times I didn't return to the house until after dark. While our interactions were limited, Cathy was very pleasant and did what she could to be helpful. She was also not intrusive and respected my privacy.
Nit picking: I'm pretty sensitive to sounds at night and wake easily. Train noise travels so even though the house is not right next to the tracks, since I'm not used to that sound, it woke me up. I know I'm sensitive though so I travel with earplugs and just used those once I knew about the train. Also, all but one of the nights, I woke up during the night to fresh bug bites. I'm not sure the source so I can't say. One other thing to note, if you do plan on using her kitchen, bring or pickup some bags for food trash. From what I can tell, Cathy is pretty minimal in her food waste and doesn't leave it in the kitchen trash. So there wasn't a bag in the trash most days. Wasn't an issue for me as I travel w/ spare bags and was able to get some when grocery shopping. 
Cathy's place is one I'd return to if in town again. Cathy is a good person and the house is very nice.

1141791,14004701,2014-06-09,16448264,Herbie,"My stay at Cathy's place was perfect! Just like every other reviewers commented previously, Cathy responded to my last minute request, gave me the key and a very clean and nice room with my own bathroom.  The neighborhood is quite and nice. I went running in the morning and felt very safe. This is my first airbnb experience and indeed a very good one. "
1141791,15586131,2014-07-12,13197622,Katherine,"This was my first experience  with Airbnb, and I really ""lucked out."" I had a delightful stay in Cathy Lara's home.  The neighborhood is attractive, safe, and easy to get around in.  The home is just like it looks in the pictures--very clean, cheerful, comfortable. I had my own bathroom and was very near the kitchen, great for early morning coffee, and private from my host's quarters at the other end of the house. Cathy was an excellent host.  She is available when you need her, easy to talk with, and she made sure I was comfortable. Also just an all round nice and interesting person.  Her home is the first place I will check next time I am in Austin."
1141791,20902395,2014-10-07,397873,Kati,"Cathy was a great host. the bedroom and bath were nice, quiet, and comfortable. the whole house and neighborhood were nice, quiet, and comfortable. 
Cathy provided bus and city maps and great bus advice that got me easily to and from the ACL festival. And she recommended a Hill Country exploration drive that I also did. 
highly recommended!"
1141791,21279494,2014-10-14,1922547,Vinod,"Cathy has a nice, quiet house in South Austin with a comfortable private bathroom. It was perfect for a singleton such as myself who likes a little privacy. "
1141791,21693433,2014-10-21,8530582,Nicole,"My stay at Cathy's house was lovely. She lives in a quiet part of town, in a nice house and you have a lot of privacy there. Clean and spacious room with your own bathroom. Perfect.

Cathy is really sweet and helpfull! I would definitely recommend!"
1141791,22290645,2014-11-03,3843562,Adrian,"Cathy is the perfect host. She was there when needed, but not in your face. Room and house were perfect. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly."
1141791,22616115,2014-11-10,23045723,Emily,"I had a great experience with Cathy. I was familiar with Austin, so her location was great for me.  A short drive to Auditorium shores, and she lives in a nice, quaint neighborhood. I liked that I had my own private bathroom, and everything was clean. I will come back next time I'm in Austin. Also, she is very well-traveled, so if you're planning a trip to Europe she is a great resource!"
1141791,26408316,2015-02-11,27068748,Dee,"Cathy made me feel very welcome and provided a clean, quiet and comfy room. I felt comfortable in her space and even enjoyed her backyard patio on one of the lovely days I was there. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good place to stay. "
1141791,27705897,2015-03-09,28859510,Tyler,"Took a brief trip to Austin for a weekend getaway and decided to try Airbnb. Cathy was an excellent host and made my first airbnb experience a good one. The room was charming and the entire home was spotlessly clean. The bed was quite comfortable and the shower/bathroom amenities had everything a guest could need. Additionally, Cathy has a lot of great suggestions for local restaurants, bars, and other tourist attractions if you are not too familiar with the Austin area. Highly recommend!"
1141791,28200667,2015-03-20,11506892,Sarah,"This was my second stay with Cathy and I loved it. I would recommend her room in a heartbeat, she's a great host and goes out of her way to make guests feel welcomed and at home. She's also great at giving you space to do your own thing. She's my first choice for accommodation during SXSW and I hope to see her again next time. The bus stop is about a 15 minute walk and zips straight into Downtown, plus this time around I found a lovely taqueria around the corner from her house for dinner. Thank you Cathy, I had a great stay!"
1141791,28391603,2015-03-23,2086445,Carolyn,Cathy made me feel very comfortable & welcome in her home.  Her place is very clean and the bed extremely comfortable.  The room was spacious.  The neighborhood was quiet.  This was my first time in Austin and Cathy was very helpful in giving me suggestions each day.  
1141791,28831105,2015-03-30,29504859,Hayley,"As my first Airbnb experience, Cathy was an excellent host. I loved my time at the house. The neighborhood was great, just a short drive into the downtown area. I was in and out of the house and Cathy made me feel so welcome and even with me coming and going, I never felt like I was bothering her. I would definitely stay here again!"
1141791,29328171,2015-04-06,29684871,Gregg,Cathy was a wonderful hostess.  She provided great tips on things to do and see in Austin and was very helpful with thoughts and suggestions in response to my questions about the area.  Cathy's home was bright and comfortable as were the bed room and bath room available to me
1141791,46025547,2015-09-07,42023812,Gabrial,My first one experience with AirBnB and I don't think we could have found a better host. She was welcoming and very nice. Her place was clean and well decorated and she made us feel at home and gave us a lot of pointers about the area since we were from out of state and visiting for the holiday weekend. She gave us plenty of privacy and space when we needed it.
1141791,46352105,2015-09-09,38556128,Matt,"Cathy was a wonderful host and great to hang out with. She had lots of Austin tips for me and ended up taking me to an excellent Open Mic where I got to perform and had a great time and the next day she took me to Barton Springs - a beautiful, extremely long natural spring swimming hole - a must do in Austin in Summer!. The room and bathroom were clean and nice and the bed very comfy - I slept very well until late, and it was handy having a desk in the room so I could get some work done at night. Highly recommended."
1141791,47787660,2015-09-21,15453569,Gregory,"Cathy was a very considerate host, always ready to help and share recommendations about the town. Her house was very clean, the room was cosy and the privacy of the individual bathroom was perfect in my case during my one-week apartment search. Very quiet area perfect to rest. For sure I would recommend you to stay with Cathy. Nice to meet you again. Greg"
1141791,51534355,2015-10-21,37676468,Mikael,"Cathy was helpful and accommodating during my stay. Though I was actually traveling for 19 of the 30 days, my stay was fine. Cathy provided all of the bathroom essentials (shampoo, soap, towels), and it was nice to be able to use the kitchen. Cathy was friendly and did what she could to be helpful. It's worth pointing out, particularly for longer stays, that there is no dryer, which means that you'll need to hang-dry your laundry. This was fine during the summer, but it could make things difficult during the fall/winter. If you plan on spending a lot of time downtown, you might want to consider renting a car. Fortunately, I had a car during my stay, but it might be difficult for people without one. Nit picking: Though things were generally comfortable, there aren't a lot of supplies in the kitchen, just in case you plan on doing some serious cooking. For those of you that aren't familiar with Texas, it's worth mentioning that there tend to be critters during the summer months."
1141791,51996790,2015-10-25,1755866,Miguel,"It was homey and comfortable. Cathy was very helpful, friendly and very knowledgable of the city. The location is a little be off of downtown but if you don't mind taking the bus for 20 minutes or driving to downtown then it's a great place to stay. The house is very quiet and clean and Cathy provides the essentials  what is great. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and very close to South Congress. There you can get great food, drinks and music. I recommended Hopdoddy burger bar, Amy's ice cream and the Continental for music and drinks. Over all it was a good experience and I would  def stay here again."
4525951,38192965,2015-07-13,16749010,Kayla,"Great house, great neighborhood! The bathrooms are retro and so is the kitchen. Bathroom light didn't work but they came day of to fix it. Great house in a great location. "
4525951,39214791,2015-07-21,14489588,Hayley,Super conveniently located to SoCo and we really felt right at home immediately. A cozy home that was great to get our bearings while in Austin. Lovely vintage bathrooms and kitchen made it a unique stay. Thanks! 
4525951,52853889,2015-11-02,40610653,Silvia,This house was a great fit for our group. Three separate rooms all with comfortable beds. The pictures on the listing portrayed the house accurately. Turnkey was very responsive when the storms that passed by left a bit of water in the basement. 
5444476,28450497,2015-03-23,29583927,Jonathan,Javier was very courteous to us and was prompt with communication. Enjoyable experience overall.

971055,10398546,2014-02-17,9565347,Michael,This apartment was clean and at a great location right on campus near fun places to go and tasty things to eat. Alex was an attentive and accommodating host and I definitely recommend this apartment to anyone!
971055,10904522,2014-03-12,6586769,Mary,"I stayed at Alex's studio during SXSW 2014. It is tidy, comfortable and, most important of all, clean! It is located nearby the University of Texas and about 15 minutes by bus from the downtown - where most of SXSW happens. But, if you have time, you can enjoy a very pleasant 40 minute walk ad erll. 

Alex is an artist so he ""gave up"" his bedroom for his craft. The bed is in the living room but that was not a problem for me. The ac works well and the neighborhood is fine with some shops, bars and local restaurants around. 

Alex was a great host and welcomed us when we arrived. We exchanged some messages prior to arrival and he was always polite and helpful! I would definetely recommend his flat! :)"

971055,12128545,2014-04-23,12511608,Pamela,"Alex's studio apartment was the ideal location for attending anything on the UT-Austin  Campus, practically on-campus.  Great food, coffee, bars, right around corner.  The apartment was clean and had all the necessities.  The only item to note is there is not a microwave (only toaster oven) for reheating any food you bring home (there is a stove and fridge).  Alex accommodated our needs for arrival and departure time very well.  Bed was comfortable. Nice private studio, great location, his talent for art shows in the pieces he has in the apartment."
971055,12261087,2014-04-27,6048731,Mariana,"Location was great! Apartment was clean and quiet. Alex was quick to respond to any messages, would definitely recommend a stay. "
971055,13096680,2014-05-19,4083054,Laura,"Staying at Alex's place was very easy and convenient. The apartment was clean and well kept with lots of nice art work to look at on the walls. Having a place to park was also great since West Campus can be crowded sometimes. Also, I have never been in a quieter complex. Thanks for an easy trip, Alex!"
971055,15279320,2014-07-06,9306185,Gary,The housing was quite adequate.  Thank you Alex.

971055,19537955,2014-09-14,18823202,Lucinda,"Idiosyncratic small apartment in a student-filled neighborhood right off ""the strip."" Perfect location, a short walk, from the AT&T Center. Clean and comfortable with good communication and easy check-in/out. "
971055,21342904,2014-10-15,6575737,Seth,"This apartment is in a great location, near the university, parks, a superb BBQ joint (Ruby's) and a uniquely Austin coffeeshop (The Spider House).  The apartment is very clean but a little cluttered."
971055,22230235,2014-11-02,8696364,Chris,"Communication with Alex was wonderful- he was quick to respond to my emails and made me feel comfortable booking with him. Upon arrival, we found a list of wifi codes and tips for faster connection.
The apartment was small, but had a wonderful vibe to it. Located very close to everything, just as it was advertised. I had no problem catching the local bus to wherever I needed to go. 
The air conditioner was a little noisy but not unbearable. Overall, I was satisfied with this as a place to lay my head. "
971055,22526311,2014-11-09,11945352,Andrew,My wife and I stayed for two nights in Alex's cozy and comfortable apartment.  It was a great place to stay - very convenient for getting to UT and downtown Austin.  We recommend it! 
971055,25526332,2015-01-18,23988240,Rolando,It was a great place to stay. The location is close to UT and coffee shops and restaurants. It's also a 30 minute walk to 6th street or a six dollar über ride. It's small and cozy with a quirky vibe. I recommend any one that wants to stay at his place. 
971055,26234154,2015-02-07,27127182,Karina,"Alex’s communication was great. Although we never met him, we knew he was just a text message away. The location made it very convenient for us to get anywhere we wanted to go. It was clean, with a creative vibe. The only weird part was there was no water for a few minutes on 2 occasions. Luckily it didn’t happen at shower time. Would definitely stay there again. "
971055,26636190,2015-02-16,27016431,Ron,"I really enjoy my stay at Alex's apartment. First of all, he is such a quick response guy, whenever I have any question, he would reply 10 mins. Second his place is filled with art elements including photographs, projector, paintings and even a gramophone! My gf and I were so happy. Thank you so much Alex!"
971055,27005801,2015-02-23,2427864,Emilio,"Comfortable, nice place, very convenient and well located! Helpful and accommodating host. "
971055,28164977,2015-03-19,6424739,Mark,I didn't actually see Alex at all but he left the keys for me and made sure that I had all I needed and he was always immediately responsive to all my queries via SMS. The area is great - some fantastic places to eat and buy food and good bars very close-by and plentiful buses into town. The apartment is a bit cramped but fine for one person.
971055,28573235,2015-03-26,28841236,Pierce,"We had a great time, the place is small and cozy with great decorations. It has a lot of character which makes it a very comfortable place to relax in"
971055,29783960,2015-04-12,18297010,David,Pleased with my stay.  The apartment was located right on the edge of campus.  Very convenient.  Inside was full of unique artwork and a very eclectic assortment of books and music.  
971055,30147212,2015-04-18,355547,Silva,"The studio was cozy and looked like the pictures, it's about a 10-15 minute walk to the UT campus which was super convenient! Alex was very responsive and easy to communicate with, check in and out was a breeze. I was not in the room most of the time, so this served its purpose. 

I spent most of the time outside of the studio, so I only used it to sleep and drop off my stuff. Bed was very comfy, but it does get noisy at night because many undergrads/greek life live there. Parking can be tricky if you arrive later."
971055,30418559,2015-04-21,30874251,Joe,"Alex was an exceptional host and one I would both recommend as well as stay with should I find myself in Austin. All of our communications were done via email or text. He was always prompt in replying to me - even for a question I had at 11 P.M - and I felt at ease that he was only a few minutes away should the need arise. The listing was accurate to the living space, and more than accommodating for a couple. "
971055,30946164,2015-04-29,4146981,Julyan,The flat is the perfect place for those who go to UT. It is also full of goodies for entertaining you. I liked it a lot. 
971055,31598384,2015-05-07,30724985,Kerry,"Great little place right near campus and restaurants and bars. Host communication fantastic, loved the artist studio feel, well, it actually has a studio! Hope to be back"
971055,31650767,2015-05-08,1756447,Tracey,"This space was great for my finacé and I for one night on campus. Getting around the area was very easy as this apartment is close to campus and the drag. We were staying there during finals at UT, so parking was a challenge during the day but in the evening there are places to park close by. We enjoyed the projector and stereo provided for his wide array of rare and interesting movies displayed. Just bring your laptop and a cable to connect your monitor, we did and it was perfect for at night. "
971055,31959999,2015-05-12,4703446,Nina,"Alex was a great host! His apartment offered my sister and me everything we needed for our short stay in Austin. It was clean and kept up for an older building. The kitchen had all the utensils and things we needed--though I must say-- Austin has plenty of food trucks! The location was hard to beat. Close to UT and convenient to East Austin, 6th street, Barton Springs, Hyde Park, wherever you need or want to go. Highly recommend this space for 2!"
971055,34461718,2015-06-08,31873456,Roxana,"Alex has a small apartment that is ridiculously close to the UT campus.  His place is cozy, inviting, and very clean. Communication was always prompt and instructions clear. While I didn't use the small assortment of take out menus provided, they are available for those who would prefer not to venture out to the nearby restaurants and stores. Wifi instructions were also easy to follow. Anyone wanting a convenient location with easy access to downtown Austin (via CapMetro buses) will not be disappointed. As an Airbnb newbie, Alex provided a wonderful and stress free experience that I would recommend to anyone."
971055,37247749,2015-07-05,26607532,Thomas,"Overall, staying here was okay. The studio apartment was centrally located, which was nice. Alex conveniently left a note with a Wi-Fi password, which was thoughtful. He was friendly to deal with throughout the process.

The only real problem was that the showerhead, faucet, and handle were missing from the bathtub, so a shower was not possible, and taking a bath was a little difficult as well, because the water was hard to turn on and off without a handle/knob. Not necessarily a pleasant surprise."
971055,41945042,2015-08-10,2120267,Susan,"We did not get to meet Alex. :( He was very responsive and accommodating when we needed to add a third person to our trip. 

The Studio is close to a so many conveniences - food, coffee, outdoor bars (Spider Bar), some clothing shops, vape shot, FeEx, Torchy's Taco's, Beware Coffe, convenience stores, you name it. Street parking was never an issue.

The room was a bit rougher, cluttered and less clean than it appears in the photos so if you are expecting a semi-pristine environment, this isn't the place for you. The A/C worked well so we were comfortable (it was 102 degrees during our visit) so between that and fans we were fine temperature-wise. But it was rough around the edges. It was also up 4 flights of stairs.

But funky and fun, and if you want to stay in a place that reminds you of your college days, go for it.

971055,47660847,2015-09-21,5565792,Amy,"Overall great experience, clean, great location near restaurants and bars, easy parking, and strong AC. Quiet at night even though it's close to campus. Alex was also flexible about the checkout time, which we appreciated."
971055,47829596,2015-09-21,43714518,Sean,"This was my first Airbnb stay and I was really happy with it! Alex was a great host - professional, friendly, and welcoming with great communication and a practically instant response time. The location of the apartment is great for access to UT-Austin (less than a 5-minute walk). The apartment itself was clean, neat, cozy and, in my opinion, very nicely decorated. While the apartment was totally comfortable, some minor improvements could be made to the repair/maintenance of the space itself - I think that's the property management company's issue and there is not much Alex can do about it. Overall a great place to stay and a great value!"
971055,48628317,2015-09-27,36803850,Gabriella,"Alex was very responsive and easy to communicate with! The apartment was just as described and check-in/out was very simple. The location was great, very close to UT campus and not far from downtown. Parking was not an issue, even on game day we managed to find a space just a few blocks from the apartment. "
971055,49636942,2015-10-05,34129684,Maria,"Alex is a great host, check in and out was easy. The place was clean and the art is interesting. The location was perfect for getting around downtown Austin. Thank you alex for a great stay!"

971055,51231368,2015-10-18,9140455,Ruben,Alex was great at communicating with us before our stay. We liked his apartment and enjoyed our brief stay.  Great central location in Austin.  
971055,51893444,2015-10-25,40505598,Amy & Jackson,"My wife and I came down to watch the Texas vs K-State football game in October, 2015, and rented Alex's place two nights for the weekend. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the stadium from this apartment, not to mention several restaurants and the UT campus itself. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and recently renovated, and the building was very quiet. Plus Alex put out some coffee pods that came in handy after watching the game in the rain. We managed to find a parking spot on the street in front of the building, and walked everywhere the rest of the weekend.

If you are coming into town for a game, or just want to experience the area around UT campus, this is a convenient and affordable spot."

1520504,17988576,2014-08-19,18422338,Mark,"Place was clean and quiet and was easy to gain access to. Austin was accessible via text throughout the stay. Neighbors were very nice. Pictures were not completely representative of the furnishings and there was two queen beds, not a king and queen as was listed. "
1520504,31046954,2015-05-01,25819466,Sheila,"Austin is a very responsive and generous host. We stayed in his duplex for a month and were very comfortable. The location is fantastic. Although the space is small, it's clean, safe, and updated. Hardwood floors throughout and very tastefully decorated. Single carport parking protects your car. It was perfect for our needs."
1520504,37248155,2015-07-05,11375920,Luke,Nice house in a quiet neighborhood off South Lamar.  Austin was very responsive and easy to deal with.  He was also very welcoming of our dogs!
1520504,46065697,2015-09-07,42907697,Scott,"My wife and I came down to the Austin areafrom the Dallas area to celebrate her birthday.  The home that we stayed in was awesome.  It was very clean,  cozy,  and had very comfortable beds.  Austin provided us a wonderful home and was very quick to respond to requests.   He even allowed us to take a late checkout so that we could spend a little more time taking in the city.   I would absolutely 100% recommend this place.   What an experience!"
1520504,48045163,2015-09-22,18265638,Elizabeth,"The house was absolutely wonderful! Super comfortable beds, all you could need to cook and hang out. Neighborhood was safe, cute, and easily accessible to so many things. The host was so welcoming and responsive. We had a great weekend!"
1520504,50876961,2015-10-15,36898939,Katie,Austin's home is lovely and the location is great. I highly recommend staying here! 
1520504,51343762,2015-10-19,25565167,Elizabeth,"Austin was a good host, house was easily accessible, very clean, and fairly quiet. "
1520504,52315173,2015-10-28,37883860,Corrie,"We had a great stay at Austin's property. The house was just as pictured and described. We loved the location and how close it was to many of the restaurants and areas we wanted to try. 

We would definitely recommend this property to those we know."
5285796,28403086,2015-03-23,26445804,Brent,"Our host Erik and his home exceeded expectations. We did not meet Erik in person as a result of a busy SXSW schedule, but he was available and accommodating with any and all requests. The house was perfect for our group and hanging out with the chickens in the back yard became somewhat of a morning ritual. After some long days, it was great to seek refuge at a place that felt like home. "
5285796,30353545,2015-04-20,22365780,Ruth,"Erik's home was beautiful and his hosting involved minimal but efficient  checking in via text with us (thru the airbnb site). We had 5 guests so two of us stayed in one bed. On the site, it says 4 beds so I think the couch might have been one? Better description might clarify for future reference but  truly, no complaints or difficulties. We LOVED the area being right off 35 and it felt like a getaway from the busyness of the downtown of the city. Great space and recommend to everyone!  "
5285796,33333151,2015-05-26,33777987,Kevin,Very helpful host. He checked in with us regularly via email. First experience with airbnb and I would definitely recommend anyone to stay in this house. 
956613,11008552,2014-03-17,11914980,Star,Neat location. Flakey host. 
493892,27221496,2015-02-28,21524328,Jiho,"Robert was an excellent host. But was he better than his cats?

He's a chill filmmaker who tended to even our smallest needs (""I feel obligated to bring you guys snacks""). But he was no cat.

His place was neat with tasteful selection of furnitures and decoration like in some sort of a hip movie scene. (Sure, he's a filmmaker) But he was no cat.

His house was in a great location near UT campus but far enough that it's quiet and safe. A perfect place to hang out during the day for lazy travelers like us. He even had a lovely backyard we could chill in. But was he a cat? Literally, not.

He was no cat. But weren't we all?"
493892,28103698,2015-03-17,931370,Joey,Robert was a fantastic house and made me feel welcome right away. He even left out tea and granola bars for me in the morning. Although I was in and out frequently he was very understanding. Would stay there again. The location was great and easy to find.
493892,28398743,2015-03-23,27213235,Jessica,"Robert was great, really accomodating and friendly. His cats are adorable and the house is just as described. The bed is huge, probably could fit four people on it. The neighborhood is great, safe and still fairly close to downtown. It was only a 15 minute walk to the Capitol building. I would definitely stay here again if I visit Austin again. "
493892,33305274,2015-05-26,7325614,Alon,"My girlfriend and I stayed with Bob for four days and four nights and loved every minute of it. The location is great - right near the university and a less than $10 Uber ride to downtown. While we were able to walk to most of the places we wanted to go to, Bob was kind enough to drop us off a few times on his way into town. The room is the perfect size for two people, and you will have more than enough privacy if you want it (though Bob is great to hang out with if you're looking for a good conversation and fun recommendations). His cats are adorable and definitely keep to themselves. Overall, we would recommend Bob's place to anyone traveling to Austin!"
493892,43208045,2015-08-17,38312524,Karan,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
493892,52576155,2015-10-31,40927456,Grace,"Robert was super nice and flexible with our changing arrival times. He could have left the keys hidden for us but he made a point to be there when we arrived and show us around. He always made sure we had anything we needed and gave us tips when we asked.

The house is great, a truly unique and vintage design with nice decor. If you prefer to walk places, it's walkable to downtown and the UT area. It's not a super short walk but it's a pleasant one, maybe 20 minutes.  We were really happy with the location.  

The cats are very cute!

746317,3772423,2013-03-13,641492,Michael,"Scott and Sally were great hosts with a great home. We had a great time in Austin and will be sure to book the house again for SXSW2014
"
746317,49250453,2015-10-02,11451938,Robin,This place was amazing. As soon as we walked in the door it felt like home and it was so conveniently located. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back semi-annually.
746317,49625328,2015-10-05,7634998,Meghan,Scott made us feel very welcome.  The home was in great condition with nice outdoor space.  There was even a bottle of wine for us upon check in.  Would highly recommend to anyone attending ACL or visiting the Austin area with a group or family.
746317,50682849,2015-10-13,44190033,Allison,Great location for ACL! Great time in Austin and great neighborhood 
5728862,32265678,2015-05-16,2641358,Patrick,"Check in was super easy, and handled entirely though text. If anything the house is nicer than the pictures, and the pictures are nice. I told Gary we had a 1.5 year old and he thoughtfully offered a pack n play for him to sleep in. When we arrived there was a drawer stocked with kid dishes and utensils, and some toys and books in the living room. There's lots of room, and 3 big beds in their own bedrooms with lots of closet space. Every closet, drawer and cabinet revealed something useful and well thought out. The backyard/patio space looked like a great place to hang out, but it rained during our stay so that remains a hypothesis. The only drawback was that everything in the house was so new and clean that now my family is insisting we replace a bunch of our old furniture at home."
5728862,34466712,2015-06-08,32621211,Lynette,"The host was very welcoming, accessible, and made everything very easy. The description is accurate, and the house is great. Very clean with excellent amenities. The neighborhood is quiet, and very conveniently located.  I highly recommend this property!"
5728862,35174826,2015-06-15,32605824,Julius,"Our experience at this place was great! We arrived to a very modern, clean house and noticed the owners have thought of everything to make sure our experience was enjoyable from extra towels and high-end bathroom condiments to coffeemakers and kitchen appliances. They even had a hand-written letter and a bottle of wine for us! "
5728862,42618106,2015-08-14,38374466,Jaki,Perfect place to stay!
5728862,43126384,2015-08-17,39965136,Xavier,"I booked this 3bd place for some family to stay in town over a weekend because it looked really nice and it's in a great location (quiet and easy car access to anything).

Gary was available via text and always replied within minutes. 

The actual house is awesome. Very sleek design and lovely features like a furnished turntable and outdoors grill and patio. It was super clean when we checked in. The AC works perfectly and everybody slept like babies. But that might just be from the insane amounts of great Austin food we had :)"
5728862,43392103,2015-08-19,9406577,Sam,We loved this place. The pictures were spot-on - like something from a magazine. It was just the right size for a family of 5. Everything was simple and elegant. It was stocked with anything you could need. The wine was a nice touch and very welcome after a day of carting children around Austin. The kids loved watching Pokemon on the Apple TV and relaxing on the back patio. The location was so convenient to 35 and 290 that we had no trouble using Waze to reach all our destinations quickly. Stay here and you won't be disappointed!
5728862,45299672,2015-09-01,33003096,Sarah,"This was hands-down one of the most beautiful, thoughtful homes we've ever stayed in through Airbnb. The decor is classy and hip, and the hosts have thought of every detail - from bathroom amenities (great products, q-tips, razors) to a record player, to amazing kid-friendly toys and dishware for our little one. We loved it and would highly recommend it to friends and family in the future."
5728862,46126443,2015-09-08,15006341,Cleatus,"The house was even better than pictured and described.  On the counter, he had left a bottle of wine, some chocolates, and even dog treats for our 2 dogs.  The kitchen was fully furnished with anything you could need to cook a meal.  The backyard had what looked like a very new grill as well.  "
5728862,47990892,2015-09-22,41313871,Mia,"Gary was amazing! He touched base via text every step of the way, from pre-checking in to making sure we were enjoying ourselves and had all we needed. Everyone in my party commented on the comfortableness, spotlessness (and beauty!) of the house. We were so  grateful to have such a spacious, inviting place to stay.  Gary even left wine, coffee, and fresh flowers in each room that really made it feel special. We had a blast during our short time in Austin and would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks again, Gary!!"
5728862,48710161,2015-09-28,34669403,Ronnie,"Gary was wonderful in his timing, response and check-ins. The place was spacious, well-kept and well-stocked with everything we needed. Would love to stay here again when visiting Austin!"
5728862,50640782,2015-10-13,27221720,Dti,"Listing description was accurate and the space was exactly what we needed for a working weekend with business partners.  Gary was easy to work with and checked in with us by text at appropriate times.  

We appreciated lots of towels and a chef kitchen with everything we needed to cook each day when we weren't running out for prepared food.  

Loved this space and I hope we get to return!"
5728862,50890425,2015-10-15,39541366,Diane,"The host was awesome. He went over and beyond to accommodate me and my family after I made a reservation for the wrong week. The house is in a perfect location, about 10 minutes from downtown. It's very clean, with a cute decor. The back patio was perfect. The beds were very comfortable also. I would definitely stay here again."
5728862,51027694,2015-10-17,42873574,Sandy,"Loved the house and amenities.  We could tell the owner Gary takes pride in his residence.  It was exactly as pictured and clean!  This was my first experience on Airbnb and I am happy it was a positive experience from booking to accessing the residence.  I stayed in another residence a few days later for the remainder of my vacation and it was horrible, the place was filthy and run down, making us all appreciate Gary's place even more.  Gary allowed my small dog to stay and even had a dog bed available.  He also had a bottle of wine for us on the counter top.  We loved the décor, the clean towels, comfy beds and the backyard space where we lounged at the end of the night.  Not much around in the neighborhood in walking distance, although Whataburger is close and we did walk there one day.  It's a short ride downtown and we used Uber, not much at all to go downtown or to Congress Ave.  I would definitely stay again.  Thanks Gary!"
5728862,51288748,2015-10-19,21193954,Calvin,"Gary and Amy's house was amazing! Everyone in my party really appreciated the cleanliness of the place and the little details that made our stay all a blast. The bathroom and kitchen were stocked with everything you need and the home decor was very hip and modern. Gary was also very responsive via text, and his detailed explanations made checking in and out effortless. We all really loved the space and we hope to stay here again if we ever come back to visit Austin :)"

7819801,51982295,2015-10-25,46498630,Judd,Lily was very professional and friendly and was quick with general info about the house and the local scene. Her home was lovely and she was very welcoming and accommodating and we had any even more wonderful time in Austin than we could have imagined.
7819801,52758093,2015-11-01,26183633,Jeffrey,Lily's place was great!  Plenty of room and located near great food/shops.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
5211801,28172424,2015-03-19,5927872,Mario,"TurnKey provided an incredible experience. The booking was simple, and TurnKey representatives were frequently in touch with updates, making the entire stay very enjoyable. Would definitely use their service again! "
5211801,48944557,2015-09-29,18294678,Drew,Listing and photos were very accurate and it was exactly what I imagined. Erica and Turnkey were very attentive and really made sure you checked in ok and that it was up to snuff. The condo was also very clean and there were plenty of linens. Would definitely recommend this to others.  
5211801,52921927,2015-11-02,47352621,Maria,The little house was so comfortble and it has a good location. We enjoyed our staying.

Elizabeth and Mark are great hosters (and blessed human beings!). I had a wonderful time staying with them for South by Southwest. The house is very charming, confortable and is much prettier than the pictures. You will no regret, I guarantee."
928047,4557063,2013-05-12,4955049,Randy,"If anyone wants to know how to craft the perfect AirBnb experience, they should visit Elizabeth and Mark to see how it's done! Everything was welcoming, clean, and friendly. The attention to every detail was obvious and appreciated. They also gave us good tips on running and recreation, important to us. We'd love to stay again if the need arises!"
928047,8058366,2013-10-14,6979639,Edward (Joe),We had a FANTASTIC stay with Elizabeth and Mark.  Their house is in a great location and they are very warm hosts.  The house is a perfect place to spend a few days.  We got in kinda late on the first night.  Mark was waiting up for us and Elizabeth had baked us cookies!  They immediately made us feel right at home.  We will definitely stay with them again when we are in the Austin area!
928047,10208569,2014-02-06,3990015,Brent,"Had a wonderful stay with Elizabeth and Mark.
A severe snow storm back home resulted in needing to stay a second night (no problem said the hosts) which only doubled the pleasure.
Had a nice walk around the neighborhood with Mark. This is an interesting mixed used development that converted an old municipal airport into housing, retail restaurants.
The whole experience reminded why I canceled my reservation on a nice traditional hotel chain out on the Interstate.
When I return to Austin (and I must), I know where to stay."
928047,10409142,2014-02-17,70788,Alice,"Elizabeth's house was super clean and our bedroom and bathroom were impeccable.  Her house has a numeric key lock so it was a breeze getting in and we had no issue coordinating a time to arrive as she did not have to wait for us to hand out keys.
She left a bottle of wine with a welcoming note by the kitchen counter and we even had 2 bars of chocolate left by our night stands.  The bathroom towels were clean and fluffy and you could not find a dirty spot in the tub even if you wanted (I'm very picky with showers).
The bed is a full and although we prefer queen size, we had a great night sleep.  The house is a bit far from the downtown action but it takes only about 10 min by car to get to South Congress, 6th street and so on.  The neighborhood is very nice and newish so it was quiet and safe.  I would highly recommend a stay at Elizabeth and Mark's home!"
928047,10918944,2014-03-13,2780544,Ricardo,"This is my second time in Austin for SXSW. And it's also my second time with Mark and Elisabeth. So, there is no need to say this the place to stay! Tks Mark and Elisabeth for being such great hosters! I hope to see you guys next year. "
928047,11006997,2014-03-17,11405460,Jen,"Mark and Elizabeth were very welcoming. We stayed three nights for sxsw and enjoyed our time greatly! Their home was beautiful, clean & peaceful! We would definitely stay there again! Thank you both so much :)"
928047,12456602,2014-05-03,5680594,Liz,Elizabeth and Mark were extremely hospitable guests and made me very welcome in their lovely home. I first arrived to a fresh cookie baked by Elizabeth that day- nice welcome. I was travelling on public transport/foot and relied on taxis to get me to and from the downtown although Mark very kindly dropped me off one morning.Their neighbourhood Mueller is lovely and Elizabeth printed off maps so I could explore. All in all a lovely experience- thank you!
928047,12962736,2014-05-15,12502123,Kelvin,"Located in the Mueller development, Elizabeth and Mark's home is an ideal place to stay while in Austin. Their home is clean, quiet and comfortable. They're very gracious hosts who provide lots of information about local events and will leave you to do your own thing. (Or even accompany you to Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop!). The morning coffee and muffins were always delicious."
928047,17919222,2014-08-18,8093783,Kendal,Beautiful clean room with the bathroom right outside the door. Located in a quiet suburb -the place is cute and well decorated.  Coffee and delicious snacks available in the morning.  I would love to stay here again. 
928047,20799318,2014-10-05,21783312,Teressa,"A friend and I stayed at Elizabeth's for 3 nights and really enjoyed our stay. We got in late the first night and had freshly made cookies waiting for us. She equipped us with snacks, fresh muffins, and coffee daily which was amazing. She also gave lots of great advice and made us feel completely at home. I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitely stay with her again! "
928047,20896872,2014-10-07,2547799,Fanny,"Mark and Elizabeth were super welcoming. They game us some great tips for our up coming trip. Mark suggested we rent some bikes and it was great to ride to the 6th avenue. 

The room was clean and it was nice to have our private bathroom.

We would defenetly go back. "
928047,21280635,2014-10-14,18886872,Gourie,"We stayed with Elizabeth and Mark during ACL weekend and had a wonderful experience.  The room was just right for the both of us, and both the room and private bathroom were extremely clean and nice.  Both hosts were very hospitable and shared many ideas on things to do around their quaint neighborhood, which had great running trails and places to eat and drink within walking distance.  Elizabeth also had baked goodies every morning which were such tasty treats!  We would definitely stay with them again in the future."
928047,21641734,2014-10-20,4856879,Ashley,"My friend and I stayed with Elizabeth and Mark for one night while we were in Austin for a wedding. They were great host! The space is comfy and right off the main entrance. The location was convenient and right off the highway, so getting to their house and around in Austin was perfect. The best part about the stay were the friendly hosts! We had such a nice time chatting with Mark when we got in and with Elizabeth in the morning before we headed out. Getting to know them in that short amount of time made the stay that much better! Thanks again! "
928047,28080182,2015-03-17,6104402,Sasha,"Mark and Elizabeth were awesome. Super friendly and knowledgable, they were a great asset for someone trying to get their bearings in Austin on such a tight schedule. Everything was spotlessly clean and their coffee is amazing. Highly recommended! "

They are both very friendly and accomodating as well as nice to talk to as they have also travelled a great deal. The room is exactly as described and we woke up to a wonderful breakfast. If you stay in Austin, do so with this wonderful couple."
928047,28398028,2015-03-23,27553206,Janet,"Elizabeth and Mark were amazing hosts!  They provided us with snacks, drinks, fresh towels, tea and daily delicious breakfast pastries.  They also gave us excellent tips on must-see/must-eat places in Austin.  Their house is beautiful and close to both downtown and the airport.   We really had a great time in Austin and were so lucky to stay with such great hosts :D"

928047,49634947,2015-10-05,3101635,Stephen,"Elizabeth and Mark were wonderful professional hosts. Their home is located in the Mueller neighborhood which is intentionally designed to be walkable, with lots of green space around. There are restaurants and food trucks within walking distance. You can walk about 5 to 10 minutes to a bus stop to get around town without a car. Their home feels very new and is very clean and tidy. The bedroom was cozy, and they have a private bathroom right next to the guest bedroom. They also have very fast wireless internet, if that is important to you. They treated us to delicious pastries every morning. Elizabeth and Mark were great conversationalists and did an excellent job of providing us with the kind of Airbnb experience that makes this service worthwhile. "
928047,49935561,2015-10-07,22205212,Richard,"Highly recommended.

I came to Austin for a conference and was delighted to stay with this professional couple in the Mueller region of town.

Private room and bath much appreciated.

Cordial, helpful, and respectful hosts."
928047,50292304,2015-10-11,11942169,Kelsey,"Staying with Elizabeth and Mark was perfect! The space was very clean, cute, and welcoming.

928047,50497454,2015-10-12,13572068,Nathaniel,"Elizabeth and Mark were excellent hosts.  They were very accommodating with flexible arrival time, toiletries, towels, pastries for breakfast, coffee, and more! The neighborhood was a great location and we'll definitely keep them in mind when traveling back to Austin.  Additionally, they recommended thunderbird coffee in the profile which was very good.  "
7750589,46923465,2015-09-14,41465534,Jon,The listing and experience were right on target.  Everything was convenient from checking in and questions that Karen answered all the way to check out.
7750589,51280981,2015-10-19,11215373,Timothy,"Comfortable, conveniently located, well lit - all in all this was a very nice place to stay in a beautiful city. The easy access to Zilker Park and Barton Creek were perfect for our plans over the weekend.

The home opened with a code, and Karen sent an email with check-in and checkout instructions the day before I arrived, so we had no trouble entering. There was plenty of space and the neighborhood was relatively quiet - we were awakened by a neighbor playing drums at 6:30 am Friday morning, but otherwise we were undisturbed.

The cleaning fee seemed a little steep for what it was - we stripped the beds, gathered the used linens, took out the trash, washed, dried, and replaced the dishes and cleaned out the refrigerator.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly - thanks for everything!"
611171,3771982,2013-03-13,4740409,Emily,"Stephanie was a great host. I stayed in a group of four, and rented the entire house. We had a blast in Austin, and she gave us great recommendations for food and drinks around the house. The house is in a great location in a fun neighborhood just out of downtown. We stayed for SXSW, and found it easy to walk into the center of downtown (but it was nice to have a place to escape to). The house is in great condition, and really clean. So fun! I'd stay at Stephanie's anytime."
611171,7887156,2013-10-07,3106649,Milan,"Stephanie and Nick's were fantastic hosts and I would definitely stay at their wonderful home again in Austin.  They were extremely responsive and went the extra mile to ensure that our group would feel comfortable.  The house is just as pictured and located within walking distance to many of Austin's great attractions.  The best part was being able to be so close to things to do and then being able to retreat to a nice, quiet neighborhood in order to relax.  Thanks again to Stephanie and Nick. "
611171,8671609,2013-11-11,9710746,Roberta,"Stephanie & Nick’s home is beyond adorable…it’s like staying in a Domino magazine spread!   Better designed than most hotels!  Exceptionally clean & neat - it's easy to forget that someone actually lives there!

Good location - a short (10 min) drive / taxi ride from just about every point of interest in Austin.  Location feels very safe / “neighborhoody”.   Walking distance to Franklin BBQ (worth the wait!) & a couple other spots.    

Plenty of room, allowing you & your fellow travelers to have personal space & privacy.  It certainly beats squishing into a small hotel room, especially if travelling with friends.  

Lastly, Stephanie is very friendly & quick to respond to all communication.  

Definitely recommended!

611171,8832198,2013-11-20,7678413,Jennifer,"I was in Austin for my swearing in ceremony - the last step in my journey to become an attorney.  My parents came in from Louisiana, my brother from San Francisco and me from Dallas.  We all met and used the fantastic, well stock kitchen to cook dinner for 9 people.  We are all foodies and Stephanie and Nick's kitchen was stocked with just about every appliance/gadget we needed to cook!  We spent both nights sitting outside by the fire pit and our dogs had a great time playing in the backyard.   The neighborhood was a short drive to 6th street area and was very quiet.  Nick and Stephanie were easy to get in contact with whenever we needed them and were very flexible with our arrival and departure.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends!  "
611171,9688926,2014-01-05,10606090,Ha,These hosts were great! really responsive and the place is beautiful!
611171,10044328,2014-01-27,4058908,Amie,"Stephanie & Nicks home is gorgeous. We stayed to have easy access to the shops in South Congress & downtown and it was an ideal location, with a 5- 10min taxi ride. 
Their home was comfortable, stylish and was stocked with plenty of good quality supplies in the fridge, which was amazing when you arrive from a long haul flight. 
Communication was easy and quick and i really hope to stay again. 
We also found a great little cafe - hillside farmacy which is about a 5min walk from the house on our last day- the breakfast was fabulous!!! 
Something to be aware of- taxis were difficult to get hold of when the weather was bad, it had snowed but I mean how often does that happen in Austin?!! And it only lasted a day. 
Would recommend this stay to anyone!!!

611171,10440344,2014-02-18,11879604,Julia,"Five of us were in town running the Austin Marathon, Half Marathon, and 5k. Stephanie & Nick's house was a convenient 15 minute walk from the start of the race and a perfect base camp for all of our Austin adventures. They were wonderful hosts and the house was perfectly prepared with everything we needed for a fun-filled weekend!"
611171,10898984,2014-03-12,1376021,Fred,Incredible care and attention to detail characterize this lovingly designed bungalow in east Austin.  Hosts were very responsive and came complete with a sense of humor. Loved the place. Recommended.
611171,10999474,2014-03-17,10529300,Christian,Stephanie & Nick's house was fantastic.  It easily fit our group of 7 and all of the amenities were top tier.  Great and safe location in Austin and close to all major attractions -- we didn't need a car at all!
611171,12339132,2014-04-29,556048,Joyce,"Stephanie was a great host, super communicative, and was really flexible with check in and check out times. It make it really easy because I had a number of guests coming in at different times. Their home is stunning, and on the east side of austin near lots of great restaurants and dive bars. "

611171,19975682,2014-09-21,16526734,Texi,the living room and kitchen are as pictured and alot of attention has gone into decorating....but the bedrooms and bathroom is lacking. we felt like we had paid more than double of what should have been charged for this space especially with it only having one bathroom. 
611171,20758224,2014-10-05,16954224,Kathryn,"Stephanie and Nick are very friendly and easy to get in contact with quickly. Their house is just as cute as the photos - it's a magical little place that is straight out of an Anthropologie catalog. It was perfect for myself and five friends for the ACL weekend. They leave out extra keys, cold water in the fridge and really make you feel at home. The neighborhood is great and we all agreed it was the perfect fit for us! "
611171,21877421,2014-10-26,6081665,Charlie,"The home was everything we hoped and expected it to be. It was as cool and unique as the pictures depict (we spent tons of time just checking out all the vintage photos all over the house). The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning was powerful, the home was well appointed with appliances, purified water, and even tea!

The neighborhood was quiet. You can get downtown quickly by calling an Uber - it always came within 5 minutes. You can walk to a great BBQ truck and to a gas station convenience store easily. 

Stephanie and Nick were kind, responsive, and very organized. We even came a little bit earlier than we were supposed to (oops!) and they were totally cool about it. Can't recommend a better place to stay when in Austin!"
611171,22288156,2014-11-03,1452049,Marc,"A fantastic experience!  Outstanding welcoming hosts, great communication and such a unique home. Perfect location as well. Hope to come back again soon. "
611171,22608632,2014-11-10,9467549,Isabel,"We loved staying in Nicks and Stephanie's bungalow! The space is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet but had easy access to downtown. Even during the weekend, Uber would take max. 5 minutes to pick us up. 

The beds are super comfortable and the bathroom products are superb! Nick and Stephanie were very accessible and gave us amazing recommendations. They left extra keys in the house, clear instructions and were always available for any questions before, during and after our stay. 

100% recommended! Can't wait to go back to ATX! "
611171,26720894,2015-02-17,13868033,Robert,The house was great! Couldn't have asked for more.  Easy getting anywhere in Austin and the house was incredibly clean.  The hosts were very nice and accessible.  Would recommend and would stay again.
611171,27681724,2015-03-09,28001500,Luzia,"The contact with Stephanie & Nick was most pleasant and easy-going. I wasn't a guest at the house myself but the colleagues staying
there were very happy with the accommodation and uncomplicated arrangements for arrival, departure, keys etc.
We certainly recommend Stephanie & Nick and their place for a stay in Austin and would be more than happy to have them as hosts again!"

611171,28837948,2015-03-30,13095022,Pam,Our stay was great! Loved the house! Great location and easily accessible to everywhere we wanted to go! This was my first time using Air BNB and they helped to make it such an easy and pleasant experience. Loved all the special touches like the Keihl's toiletries and on the vanity was little tins of bobby pins and ponytail holders. There's a French press and fresh coffee beans to grind! In addition to all of this it's so nice and tidy and clean! My girlfriend's and I give it the two thumbs up! :)
611171,29775296,2015-04-12,29392063,Samantha,"The hosts were absolutely wonderful in terms of responsiveness and availability. They sent a list of recommendations and house instructions prior to the stay, and they provided multiple keys, great bath products, and lovely, clean linens while we were there. The neighborhood is close to downtown and a short drive from South Congress. Additionally, the home decor is wonderful, with an awesome funky Austin flair."
611171,33152390,2015-05-25,26822194,Susie,I recently visited Austin with 3 additional people and stayed at Stephanie & Nicks house during our stay. The house was just as pictures and had the Austin charm I was looking for. The living room and kitchen were comfortable. The rooms were as pictures as well. There is one bathroom. Felt like I should mention that since some people are don't like the share bathrooms. We were easily able to get Ubers to get into town when needed. Stephanie was very response prior to our visit and leading up to it. Appreciate the hospitality!
4216598,28127099,2015-03-18,2099600,Yuki,"The house was spacious as it looked and I expected, and our stay was pretty comfortable. While the neighborhood is quiet and do not have huge stores, we went around the city by Uber and Lyft."
4216598,28387947,2015-03-23,26204864,Ashanti,"This was my first time using Airbnb and I can truly say I enjoyed staying at this house. It was enough space to fit all five people including myself. Everything that we needed was at the house. My friends and I felt very comfortable in the house. Anything you thought you needed was in the house, as if it was your very own.The house looked exactly like it was shown in the pictures. The neighborhood was good and a nice place to relax. The house was not far from Downtown Austin or the airport. 
The host made sure to reach out to me days before, I was suppose to check in. Very nice and responds very quickly to messages. Anyone would love to stay at this house!"
4216598,29788279,2015-04-12,30559116,Justin,"First Airbnb ever, and a great experience. Communication with host was great, and all expectations met. Detailed instructions provided. Had an issue with the wifi and he immediately responded and had the cable company come out, same day. Comfortably fit 4 people in the house."
4216598,30238839,2015-04-19,9069507,Leslie,This location has great access to South Congress!  Close and convenient to the funky side of Austin that we love.  The place was VERY clean!

5762115,29699728,2015-04-11,29571702,Beth,"We spent a very comfortable and wonderful week at Jed's house. Everything we needed was there and Jed was on hand to answer any questions we had swiftly and effectively. The house is extremely pleasant, well fitted out and can easily accommodate up to 6 people. Our boy slept in a great cabin style bed which he thought was fantastic. There was coffee and some basics waiting for us when we arrived which after an 11 hour flight is always most welcome! Will definitely be going back next time we visit Austin and I would recommend this place to anybody who wants a place which is very close to downtown (10 min drive) and in a peaceful and friendly neighbourhood. Highly recommended.

The Hodgson family"
5762115,30261666,2015-04-19,31026351,Arturo,"Jed was a great host! He was more than helpful with some food recommendations and helping us with an early check out. Beautiful home, home was just as pictured and very well decorated! Even left us a welcome gift! Would definitely come back and recommend for any larger groups!"
5762115,30731169,2015-04-26,8944819,Tito,"This house was everything that we needed for an amazing time in the town! You can entertain 5 with room to spare, and up to 8 if you like to squeeze in a bit. Everything is set up for ease of use, including printed ""manuals"" on how to use everything. We really liked using the included Apple TV which has everything set up (Netflix, HBO Go, etc), and even the color coded towel rack in the bathrooms - after all, its the small things that matter!"
5762115,31477897,2015-05-05,6263589,Cathy,"We spent 4 nights here. Great location with easy access to downtown, SoCo and freeways - in a quiet neighborhood.

5762115,31972690,2015-05-12,18736743,Caitlin,"Jed was a really great host, completely accommodating without ever being over bearing. The house was perfect, 3 bedrooms, washer and dryer, GREAT kitchen and bathroom. Everything in Austin seems to be 10-15 minutes away so we had no problem taking Ubers around town. Can't say enough good things about how nicely the house was stocked (tons of clean towels, lots of shampoo & conditioner for the taking) which hasn't always been my experience with other air bnb hosts."
5762115,32366207,2015-05-17,31374157,Michelle,"Jed was a great host! Not only was the house just as clean and cute as you see in pics. with plenty of room for 8 of us, it was so close to downtown and you can literally go down the street to food truck heaven! Any time we had a question there was a quick reply even after the stay was over. Would definitely stay here again."
5762115,32985781,2015-05-24,1814832,Drea,"Jeb's place was awesome! The house was in a great location, super clean and comfortably fit all 8 of us. Jeb was super responsive to my requests and questions. There were even some great surprises waiting for us when we checked in! I would love to stay here again and would recommend it to friends! "

5762115,35793340,2015-06-22,30379911,Alexandria,"The house was very easy to get to and was ready upon arrival. I felt very safe in the neighborhood and it was close enough to downtown to be apart of the hustle and bustle without an expensive uber fare, but far enough for a quiet night in. The AC/kitchen/bathroom/tv were very user friendly and it was very spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Austin for a long weekend. "

5762115,36976144,2015-07-03,34871395,Amber,"Staying at Jeds bungalow was like being at home.   Quiet quaint little nieghborhood.  Everything was easy to find and close.   It was clean and had pretty much everything we needed.   The fact there were already some basic things (like mayo) was fantastic.   With my large family we cooked at the house mostly,  so it was nice not having to pick up all the little things like spices.   We would most definitly stay again!   "
5762115,37180126,2015-07-05,26960252,Ryan,A group of 7 of us stayed here for the 4th. Everything in the house was in perfect shape. The house had a big back yard and had easy access to everything in Austin. I would definitely stay here again if I get the chance to do so. 
5762115,37986227,2015-07-12,7270890,Kristin,"We had a great stay at this centrally located house in Austin. Everything worked out perfectly. Comfy beds, great shower and anything you need to have a relaxing visit to this very cool city. Though we didn't spend much time at the house (too much to eat, see and do in Austin) it's a perfect place for a home base while you explore Texas' coolest town. Thanks to the hosts for providing an awesome place. "
5762115,38728294,2015-07-18,34197695,Kaleigh,"Jed's place was awesome. The house looked exactly like the pictures, and it was nestled in a quiet Austin neighborhood close to downtown and every other cool place in the area. The house was clean, and he was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. I felt at home in this little place, and my friends and I had such a good time! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to spend a few nights in Austin. The house was even complete with comical picture instructions for check in and check out. He also had a list of recommended places to visit in Austin. Oh, and the beds were so comfortable. I slept like a baby. "

5762115,43596305,2015-08-20,32634380,Hoang,"As described, Jed's place fit all eight of us very comfortably, not only does laundry is a plus, we had the whole house to ourselves. Quiet neighborhood, 5-15 mins from everything, right off the freeway, and the wifi is extremely fast. I would recommend anyone staying here, especially when it's so welcoming! "
5762115,43968037,2015-08-23,19815440,Liang,"We arrive pretty late on a Friday night, and the neighborhood was pretty dark. It seemed a bit mixed, but the house itself was in a decent condition, and the ground was well kept.
The house has very cute and funny instruction cards., but we were all busy checking out the rooms. The house is nicely renovated. 3 rooms (big, medium, and small). Each can comfortably sleep two. More people can sleep on the sofa in the living room, just as described. One bathroom, clean. Plenty towels for all of us, and many different toiletries options. 
The place was clean. But the furniture in the living room had some permanent stains, and the book holder in the middle bedroom was very dusty. One of the 4 stove heads didn't work. There was oil, salt, and pepper, but no other condiments. We also couldn't find paper towel. Maybe we overlooked. One bathroom may be a bit challenging if everyone needs to use it and get ready at the same time, but is manageable.
Despite the imperfections, we would still stay at the place again. It was 15 mins to the bars, and about an hour to New Braunfels for tubing. For the price, I think it's a good deal."
5762115,45547392,2015-09-03,43182064,Barry,The host canceled this reservation 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5762115,47702963,2015-09-21,6902636,Chelsea,"The house was great for having a girls weekend! It accommodated the nine of us perfectly. We did run into a hiccup with the AC not working the first day, and the hosts were prompt in ensuring that the AC was fixed and compensating us accordingly. They were so great at communicating the entire time, and very helpful through the entire process. The rest of the stay was so enjoyable, and it was our little home away from home!"
5762115,48363626,2015-09-25,5817954,Philip,The place had everything we needed and was very convenient to everywhere we wanted to be. We will recommend this place to friends and look forward to staying here again. 
5762115,48531269,2015-09-27,18066354,Rafiq,Great stay very close to downtown. He host was responsive and well organized. Having Apple TV was also a plus. I would definitely recommend.

5762115,50437955,2015-10-12,24623852,Nichlos,"The house had everything we needed, and is a close Uber away from everything in the city. We stayed here for Austin City Limits and really enjoyed our time."
6759963,37401771,2015-07-06,33867918,Shawn,Great spot to say. Clean and affordable. Great hosts that make sure all your needs are meet. Highly recommend staying with these two.
6759963,37920605,2015-07-11,32131053,Stéphane,"Harish was a really good host - polite and responsive. 
I recommend this place to live.
Thank you!"
6759963,38060136,2015-07-12,36233964,David T.,"Harish and Elizabeth have a lovely home and were the consumate graceous hosts, going out of their way to make me welcome and comfortable. If I am travelling to North Austin again, I hope this lovely couple are able to open their home to me again. 
"
6759963,42700386,2015-08-15,36956544,Avhishek,"I am not eloquent when it comes to things that are subjective. So, I shall be short. In few words, Harish and Elizabeth are excellent hosts, and it is hard to expect better. The locality is very nice and peaceful with good connectivity to the rest of the city via bus and metro services. "
6759963,43011829,2015-08-16,11767100,Liz,"The room was perfect, thanks so much for letting me book so last minute!"

6759963,46057419,2015-09-07,4880619,Samantha,"We arrived to a clean room that included a map of things to do in Austin. The house looked just as it did in the pictures. The hosts were away for much of the weekend, but we met them before they left and they were very friendly. The location was great, a bit out of the city but a five minute walk to the metro station. "

6759963,49574831,2015-10-04,38701670,Danny,Harish was pretty cool and made sure we were taken care of. The location is perfect for getting around to all the good spots around town. Will definitely stay here when I come back to town.
6759963,49992399,2015-10-08,2058743,Kristine,"Had a great time staying with Harish and Elizabeth. They were great hosts - laid back, friendly and fun to talk with. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and a 10-15 minute walk to the train and bus stop. However, if you plan to go anywhere else other than downtown every morning (and going to multiple locations throughout the day), I recommend renting a car as the Austin public transportation system takes a long time to go a short distance—and the Uber/Lyft fares add up quickly."
6759963,50128163,2015-10-09,17208961,Sharick,Harish's place was as advertised. I had a comfortable stay and Harish was very responsive via text to my questions.

6759963,51683673,2015-10-22,6681781,Isabel,"After my plans fell through, I reached out to Harish in the morning to see if I could stay that night. He was super communicative and was able to help me out last minute, which I really appreciated! The room is super cozy and the bed is so comfortable! You have your own bathroom which is great. Plus, the house and neighborhood is really quiet."

Brooke was a FANTASTIC host.  Left her own great 'handy hints' guide, as well as travel books and even a collection of treats!  Really could not have asked for more - way beyond expectations.

Would most certainly recommend, and hope to come back again.

Thanks Brooke - AWESOME!"

2084090,10407920,2014-02-17,6544691,Owen,"Excellent host, Adam went out of his way to make my very short trip a success.  If he hadn't told me the bed was actually a futon, I wouldn't have known.  It was very comfortable.  Thanks for everything!"
2084090,11158948,2014-03-23,12965344,Adam,"Nice host, clean room, sweet dog, and great bike. Would stay again. "

2084090,12183519,2014-04-25,5332665,Stine,"Adam is a friendly host who among other things took me grocery shopping and invited me to join a party of his. His dog is cute, and it is really nice that he has a bike you can use. I enjoyed my ten days stay at his place."
2084090,12345932,2014-04-29,13301537,Kymberly And Nathaniel,"Adam was a great host, very easy to get along with.  The house is very nice, comfortable, and clean.  I didn't take advantage of the bike since it's an easy walk to the 6th Street area.  The neighborhood is quiet and clean and feels safe even late at night.  Chloe is a great dog and was wonderful company.  She may be even more easy-going than Adam.  I really enjoyed my stay and will try to stay there again."
2084090,19751096,2014-09-17,2835146,Michael,Adam provided information on the area and was also very accommodating to my hectic arrival schedule. He also has a great dog!

Nice and clean room. Downtown and most tourist attractions can be easily reached by bike. I would try staying at his place again if I return to Austin one day.
2084090,21682560,2014-10-21,19066752,Julia,"Adam was very accommodating for my two friends and I that stayed there three nights. He was a 5 minute  uber ride max to sixth street and gave us awesome exploring suggestions. He left us a sheet of info and suggestions for our arrival and had our futon and air mattress al set up for us. He was super patient with 3 girls raiding his bathroom and mirror and his dog Chloe is the most well behaved dog I've ever met.
Clean amenities, great location and his dog was an added perk."
2084090,22024897,2014-10-28,1654190,Nick,"I had a very pleasant stay. Adam is a good communicator and made things easy. I didn't spend a lot of time at Adam's place because I was busy every day, but found it comfortable for what I needed. It's a very basic setup with no frills, but it's an inexpensive option too. I would recommend."
2084090,22413833,2014-11-05,22999830,John,"Adam was responsive, making it easy to setup my stay.  He was welcoming and provided me with answers to all my questions about his home and the area.  He made me feel completely at home and at ease.  I cooked several meals during my stay, which was a treat.  Proximity to the state capital was important and this neighborhood is nearby.  It is a quiet neighbor, felt safe and my room was comfortable and as described.  The WiFi in the house worked very well.  Everything was clean.  Adam provided a bike for use that was most helpful, making it easy to get around without a car.  Adam's dog, Khloe, is delightful and well behaved.  I already miss her."

2084090,24008037,2014-12-16,9929283,Hitesh,"Just spent 13 nights at Adam's after i had to cancel a previous booking, so Adam and his dog Chloe stepped in to save the day and what a gem of place. Its quiet and only 5-10 min bike ride (free use of a bike) to downtown/east-side which was perfect for my needs. My room was clean and spacious, with a desk and a built in wardrobe. Adam is laid back, friendly and made a great breakfast after a fun night out on east 6th. You'll definitely fall for Chloe, and i'm sure she'll take to you just as easily. After having a bad experience with my initial booking, i had a great experience here and would definitely stay here again. Thank you !!!!"

2084090,28871714,2015-03-31,1394012,Natasha,Great location to everything if you don't mind a short walk or bike ride! $21 cab from airport. Quiet household and neighborhood.

2084090,29856928,2015-04-13,29484538,Mary,"I had a really great stay with Adam, Marla and Chloe. The room is comfortable and clean and the house is walking distance (or bike ride or bus) to downtown, in an area that feels safe and quiet. Adam and Marla were super-helpful in providing advice on places to eat nearby and things to do and were very welcoming: Adam went above and beyond his duty of care when I was late to arrive he got in contact to make sure I was OK, which was really nice and so much more personable than I would have got from a hotel. They also kindly found me a hairdryer to borrow for my stay, which was greatly appreciated! I absolutely recommend this accommodation option and would stay here again if I’m back in Austin. "
2084090,30321487,2015-04-20,467325,Trevor,"Nice, clean guest bedroom in house in East Austin.  Short Uber or bike ride away from downtown.  Adam was hospitable and made me feel at home."

2084090,49539873,2015-10-04,23637225,David,"Nice quiet room on a quiet street, but still a quick walk to all the cool bars on East 6th, while the bike makes anything a bit further easy to get to. They also have a very sweet dog who is extremely friendly. "

Their dog Chloe is amazing, and is very friendly.  She'll come and flop on your feet given half a chance."

It was spacious, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. Her entire house is the same way and I loved my stay there. Reina, her dog, is super friendly sweetie and her two cats are cuties as well.

Renee was very thoughtful on the details. She met me at her place as planned to show me around and tell me about the place /where to find things. She made me feel incredibly welcome and pampered with the bathrobe, slippers and loofah left in the en suite. 

It'd definitely recommend Renee's place to anyone visiting! Great neighborhood, close walk to popular locations, and a great host!"

Quiet and cozy but just a quick walk from the best blocks of South Congress and a longer, but beautiful walk to downtown, this sweet house strikes the perfect balance for those looking for both a private getaway and access to the bustle of Austin. Renee is the ideal hostess, totally friendly yet respectful of privacy, she stocked the kitchen and bathroom with essentials and even laid out a bathrobe and slippers to complete the vacation feel.

The location was perfect and only a short (5 minute) ride to the wedding we attended downtown. We were also able to walk and meet friends on South Congress and Rainey Street during the day. 

Renee was a great host and took the time to show us around when we arrived. The house was beautifully furnished, incredibly clean, and we had everything we needed (clean towels, toiletries, etc.) during our stay.

4837739,50280875,2015-10-11,38105332,John,"The place was great! Location is perfect for ACL and we loved the house. Renee left snacks in the fridge and around the kitchen for our choosing. She was very flexible on check in/out times which made our stay more relaxing. 

The house is next to a street which connects two main roads, so the noise can be high during peak times. However, it is mainly quiet and comfortable at night, especially with the king sized bed.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I would stay again. Easily one of the best airbnbs I've stayed at."
4837739,51151765,2015-10-18,31456129,Tom,"Renee was a fabulous host.  The house was spotless, comfortable, and in a great neighborhood.  Renee was super easy to work with, and treated us very well.  On the first night there was traffic noise near the bedroom, but once we put on the box fan for white noise, we went straight to sleep.  "
4837739,51891264,2015-10-25,6866842,Natalie,"By far our best air B&B experience. Renee was very nice and helpful. Her place was  more than a home away from home to us. We were close to South Congress Street where you could grab grub and listen to great music. During the day the shops were also a short distance. It was a bit noisy due to the street noise at night and early morning from commuters, however, having ear plugs was great (provided by Renee) and I was able to sleep with ease. The bed was very comfortable. 

I would stay there again for sure. 

Thanks Renee!  "
1051238,4188938,2013-04-16,5808758,Kim,"Joanna and her home are lovely and peaceful.  The house is clean, tastefully decorated, and clutter-free.  Joanna was very welcoming and made me feel at home.  I felt more like I was staying with a friend than at a stranger's house.  Joanna gave me a great restaurant suggestion and showed me how to get there.  

The room and adjoining bath are fabulous.  The bed is super comfy with soft linens.  The shower is wonderful, with the perfect amount of pressure, and the water gets hot super fast.  

I had a great experience here and I would love to come back the next time I'm in Austin.  

"
1051238,4355238,2013-04-29,73817,Ruth,"Joanna is awesome! The bedroom and accommodations are very clean and design is adorable. The neighborhood is well-placed to get downtown and hip East Austin areas. Joanna provided thorough information and was super welcoming/easy-going/friendly as a host. I'm not much of a pet person, but her dog and cat are beyond sweet and respect boundaries. I had a super nice stay and would definitely recommend her to again. Thanks so much, Joanna!  "

I felt very much at home in the house, which is beautifully fitted out and decorated and occupies a convenient and peaceful location. Joanna is very welcoming and makes you feel very much at home in her place, but also gives you plenty of space to do your own thing.. The room is on the lower floor with its own bathroom and is really comfortable. The bed is superb. I slept really well. Overall, I would highly recommend Joanna's place if you need to stay in Austin...oh, and the pets are very cute! Would have taken Duncan home in a heartbeat!"
1051238,6372859,2013-08-10,5940056,Vivianne,"I just moved in to Austin from Brazil and I rented Joanna's room during my first days in Texas. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay! Joanna is a wonderful host! She's really nice, considerate and cheerful. Her place is amazing! My room was really confy and beautiful! Duncan and Mia, her pets, are very sweet and friendly! I felt very much welcome in her place!"
1051238,6994928,2013-09-02,6704026,Annie,"Joanna was an amazing host. She was very helpful, warm and went above and beyond what I expected. The room is bright and comfortable, with a large closet and a nice bathroom. Her animals are total lovers and lovely to be around. Overall an excellent experience, highly recommended!"
1051238,7539438,2013-09-23,4255439,Sonja,"Had a great time at Joanna's place. It was conveniently located right next to the light rail station for easy access to Downtown. But even driving our car it was quick access as well. The room was very neat and clean. The bed was extremely comfy and we had a private bathroom. We enjoyed the pets, Mia and Duncan, they were adorable. And Joanna was kind enough to leave space for us in the fridge and let us cook in her kitchen. Would definitely stay there again on another trip to Austin."
1051238,7800763,2013-10-03,5392096,Celia,"A truly wonderful experience, both staying with Joanna and exploring Austin itself. It is an awesome city and Joanna has plenty of tips to help with your exploration. 
My partner and I stayed for 5 nights and felt instantly welcome and comfortable. Joanna is a great host and we enjoyed talking with her whilst still enjoying time to ourselves. The house has everything you need and is in a great location. The train is right behind the house so very easy to get to town and a small taxi fare home should you stay out after train hours. Really good coffee truck located behind the house and a good neighbourhood for running.
Would totally recommend a stay! 

"
1051238,8012074,2013-10-12,2191680,Vik,"I had a great time at Joanna's! Very charming home, GREAT location, adorable pets and she's very warming and welcoming. The room comes with a private bath which is great. It's literally 4 minute walk to the train station, 6-7 minutes to the bus stop, walking. Not far from the city center at all. The room is comfy, cozy and clean. She let me have my space and was helpful and upfront about any upcoming things she had going on. I had a blast in Austin and would  definitely stay here again. :) "
1051238,8073390,2013-10-14,9341048,Farokh,"Joanna is a phenomenal host!  She was incredibly helpful and warm from the moment we arrived at her place.  We were there for ACL, which was canceled on its third day because of flood warnings.  Joanna suggested that we could stay at her place for another day if we weren't able to return home (because of flooding).  Our room and the adjacent bathroom were absolutely lovely.  We had a really great time in Austin and really enjoyed staying at Joanna's!"
1051238,8552274,2013-11-04,3767196,Greg,"Joanna's place is terrific. The room is clean and beautiful. The house basset hound is a wonderful companion for a weary traveler. Lastly, Joanna was a great host and made me feel very welcome in her home.

1051238,10336909,2014-02-14,8608452,Jessie,"Joanna was a lovely, gracious hostess. Her dog, Duncan, is adorable and hilarious, and her cat Mia, is a total love as well. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Joanna!"
1051238,13979631,2014-06-09,1190910,Hilary,"We loved staying at Joanna's beautiful home in Austin! She was very friendly and offered many restaurant, activity and transportation recommendations. 

Her home is darling and she is the proud mother of two adoring animals (Duncan and Mia), who we got to know very well :) The apartment was very clean, comfortable and she offered many amenities that made the place feel like home (i.e. plenty of clean towels, hair dryer, lint rollers, soaps and fresh coffee in the morning). 

Her home is tucked away in a quaint neighborhood, which is less than a ten minute ride from the heart of downtown. 

We completely recommend staying with Joanna. You will think highly of Austin after experiencing her friendly, southern hospitality. "
1051238,14236011,2014-06-15,14155691,Maud,"Had such an amazing time while in Austin and staying with Joanna. Her home is beautiful, rustique and fully equipped. Lovely big bed, your private bathroom (with tub!!) and a beautiful kitchen and living area. 
I loved spending time with Joanna and her pets Mia and Duncan. All three of them made me feel at home from the moment I stepped through the door. Joanna was extremely helpful when I had questions about getting around town and all other things. 
Joanna made sure that my first Airbnb expercience was no less than perfect. 
"
1051238,17521132,2014-08-13,17199435,Joan,"My first airbnb experience was a winner all 'round. The accommodations were beautifully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. I had everything I needed. The neighborhood was quiet. Public transportation very close by. My host - and dog and cat - was very welcoming and delightful company. Highly recommend Joanna and her space."
1051238,18150396,2014-08-22,5349623,Teresa,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Joanna's lovely home. It was clean, cozy, quiet and very tastefully decorated. The neighborhood is very sweet and the shared outdoor space is very inviting. A wonderful oasis! 

Joanna was very warm and friendly, and a wonderful communicator, making the entire process very easy and seamless. I appreciated all of her many thoughtful touches, from making space in the refrigerator (as well as a full invitation to the kitchen!) to local recommendations. I couldn't have asked for a better combination of welcoming and hospitable and yet allowing as much privacy as needed.

I highly recommend Joanna and her home and would definitely stay there again!

Duncan and Mia were adorable. I enjoyed getting to know them!"

1051238,21045665,2014-10-10,15434338,Courtney,"Joanna made my first Airbnb experience very easy and comfortable. She was home when I checked in, and I immediately felt welcome. We sat in the living room and chatted for a bit before I headed out to dinner at a restaurant she had recommended. 

The house is really cozy and situated in a row of very cute homes.  While it seemed convenient having the train stop a block away, I ended up mostly using Lyft to get around. The house was a little removed from cafes and bars I wanted to check out in East Austin. 

I'd definitely recommend this place. Joanna, her sweet pets Duncan and Mia, the nicely decorated house - all make this a great experience.  "
1051238,22043886,2014-10-28,15943722,Tommaso,"My host Joanna M. made me feel at home away from home. The moment I walked into her beautiful home - exactly what it was described as, I felt a cozy vibe, and when I entered my bedroom there was a bottle of Oktoberfest beer with Swiss chocolate , I mean if that doesn't make you smile and make your day I don't know what will. 
The four nights ( Thu-Sun) where amazing , I didn't even mind the music that the neighbors where playing on Saturday night, because my bed was so comfy.
Joanna , touch of class was not over looked . The impeccable cleanness and the high quality soap which was a plus since I had forgot to bring mine.  I would wake up to fresh delicious coffee and my two  pet friends  that are adorable. "

1051238,26742677,2015-02-18,1570187,Adamorena,"Joanna was an absolutely fantastic host and this bedroom was equally magnificent. First off, the private bathroom and semi-walkin closet were just tops. Everything else couldn't have been more suitable to my  needs. The space was extremely clean and tidy and plenty of space to cook. It is located in a lovely development in East Austin. I found no problems with getting to and from downtown or anywhere else I wanted to go within the city since there are several buses on Manor and MLK JR. Blvd, a few blocks away. I even walked a lot, but that's because I am a New Yorker and don't mind. On the East Side, there are a few novelty restaurants as well. Joanna was able to answer all of my questions about her experience living in Austin. She is a really lovely person. When you want privacy, however, she is completely respectful.

Overall, I highly recommend Joanna's space if you want a taste of a quieter area of Austin. Also, Duncan, her dog, is the friendliest and chillest dude I have ever met. That put the cherry on top of my visit cake. "
1051238,27030978,2015-02-23,26898787,Aleeda,"Joanna is a perfect host, and the home had everything you would want. She went well above and beyond what I expected, especially helpful tips about transit. "

1051238,28963046,2015-04-01,18164690,Nora,"I'm going to try my best not to gush too much here - but this was an amazing, impeccable stay, and by far my best so far on airBnB! First off, Joanna herself is lovely - a great, timely communicator, detailed and responsive. In person, welcoming, a real hostess. I mean, she left coconut fair-trade chocolate and beer for guests - I haven't met a host or hostess who does that, yet.

Two, her house is beautiful - on a cute street, right near the train, really new, comfortably furnished and tasteful. I felt like I was in a kind of homey hotel or the house of an adult friend who has her life together. Haha. 

The bed is really comfortable and CLEAN - I can't stress that everything is really, really clean - the bathroom, the floors. 

The room itself is a little oasis of quiet. I had a major article deadline to work on part of the day, and I got more headway than I do at the office! And I got to get my laundry done in a nice setting as she was gracious enough to let me do my post-wedding wash. 

I left feeling relaxed, at ease and really happy about my stay in Austin, rather than frazzled and frantic, which is typical at the end of a long trip in an unfamiliar place. I even was telling my friends that I'd love to move to Austin, one day, swayed by my comfortable stay.

Duncan, her adorable hound, was a kind of mournful sweet companion while I worked.

I guess there was a little bit of wrangling to try and find food nearby, so you should try and have a car or bring food to the house beforehand, but that's just a minor point.

End of story: I can't recommend this space enough and totally lucked out. Thank you, Joanna!!"
1051238,29441158,2015-04-07,4102653,Yeashea,The house is very convenient to the airport and downtown. The metro rail is literally 5min away. Joanna's instructions and advice are spot on! Duncan is a congenial greeter if you check in when Joanna isn't there. I can't state how nice and cozy the house is. If I come back to Austin alone I would definitely stay here again.
1051238,30102094,2015-04-17,30011961,Caitlin,"Joanna was very friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The room was very nice and the neighborhood was pleasant. It was very easy to get around Austin from there whether by train or by uber. Duncan (the dog) was super chill and not a bother at all. Overall great experience."
1051238,30401720,2015-04-21,28069894,Mary,"Joanna made my stay as lovely as advertised - comfy and private. She was friendly but gave me private space and quiet time. The property was clean and well-kept. My room was as beautiful as pictured, plus I had a spacious closet and  private bathroom. Also, there was open access to the kitchen and television.
The development in which the property is situated is an upgrade for the neighborhood. There was ample and convenient parking and I felt safe coming and going."
1051238,31516893,2015-05-06,13179550,Lola,Joanna is a great host - but not as good as Duncan! What a cutie he is! AND greeted me every time I came in. The room is as advertised. Note: the train has a limited service but takes you straight into town which is ultra convenient. Austin: what a lovely city!

Within minutes of arriving, however, I felt immediately at home.  Joanna was a great hostess and our room was great -- overall, it exceeded my expectations!  Would definitely stay here again :) "
1051238,34855858,2015-06-13,30378033,Rachel,"Joanna's place is super comfortable, and Joanna was so helpful in helping me find whatever I needed, from the bus stop to ordering in groceries. Her place is perfect, she is very kind, and her dog is adorable. Highly recommend!"
1051238,35242070,2015-06-16,11184447,Sara,"Joanna was welcoming, and Duncan made me feel super welcomed (he was awesome). The bedroom was comfy and inviting.  I really loved the private bathroom, super clean and nicely designed/decorated.  The location was good, too.  I had a great time in Austin, and I think Joanna's home was definitely part of it."
1051238,35912778,2015-06-23,28069894,Mary,Joanna was easy to communicate with for arrival details. Her home is comfortable and convenient as was my room with it's nice closet and adjoining bathroom. I was welcomed to use the kitchen and was offered refrigerator space (that included a gift of local beer!). Coffee was made available each morning. I was pleased in every way with the accommodations provided by my friendly host.
1051238,41273929,2015-08-05,35136782,Mary,The home was lovely and spotlessly clean. Everything you could need was available in the connecting bathroom. Duncan was dear. Everything was as described in the listing.

1051238,47491965,2015-09-19,41165851,Josh,"Joanna was a fantastic host for my entire 4 week stay. Her place was easy to find, clean, and complete with all the amenities I needed. The neighborhood itself is nice and quiet and near some great restaurants on Manor Rd., but it's an easy 10-15 minute Uber ride from everything else in Austin. Joanna had great recommendations for anything I needed or wanted to do or see. Plus there's Duncan, who is just the best. I'm extremely happy with the experience and so thankful to Joanna for helping me enjoy my time in Austin."
1051238,49726030,2015-10-05,40924593,Jamie,Joanna's place is really cool and exactly as described. Very close to the train station which is only a couple stops from town. Check in is super convenient and the bed is very comfy. Joanna is an amazing host and made me feel right at home. Her dog is really friendly and very cool. Highly recommend. 
1051238,49994455,2015-10-08,14239348,Alexandra,"Joanna is so, so kind and has the greatest sidekick; Duncan. The room and bath are both accurate and very well kept. The bed is insanely comfortable and it was a great slice of ""home"" to come back to after a long day at a conference. I highly recommend to both single travelers on business and just fun for fun. Joanna provides anything and everything you need. 


Side note... She makes Counter Culture coffee (!!!). Coming from Brooklyn this was an incredibly nice (and delicious), surprise.

"
1051238,50653079,2015-10-13,40380019,Donnisha,"This place was all that and then some. The location was near the MLK Jr. Metro Station. I was here for ACL and it was the perfect location as it was outside the insanity but accessible to public transportation to get to ACL within minutes.

The room and adjoining bathroom were a great size and met my needs. I got some good morning calls from Duncan the dog, who was probably saddened I didn't have any food in reach for him :). Joanna was super flexible with my arrival time, as I had some car trouble earlier which caused me to arrive later than intended. There are plenty of eateries and coffee shops that are a small driving distance away ( you could walk, too) that are available if you're hungry. In all ,I would stay here again."

Hosts are cool and busy young couple who make you feel at home. All was chill and the room and house were comfortable, clean, and (as described) sun drenched. 

Absolutely recommend.   "

Lucia, his property manager, was friendly and made sure to check in with us just in case we needed anything. If you are wanting to get a true Austin experience, Hyde park, and this apartment, will do just that!  "
3594509,21712796,2014-10-22,21699118,Maria,"I rented Judson's place for my father who was in town for a week. He really liked the place, it was quiet, clean and generally very comfortable. My father did not really cook but if you want you can make a full meal in the kitchen since it is fully equipped.  The neighborhood is great, there's lots of shops nearby and as well as nice cafes and restaurants. Our hosts were great and very helpful. I highly recommend Judson's place if you are visiting Austin!"
3594509,21991343,2014-10-27,22620205,Kam,"My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Judson's apartment! It was very clean and comfortable, with a great location (about 10 minutes driving to most fun places in Austin). Lucia (the property manager) was very flexible with our check-in time and helped us whenever we had a question or needed anything. She even went out of her way to mail us some items left behind. Thanks for a great time! I'd absolutely recommend Judson's place and it will definitely be on the very top of my list next time I visit Austin!"
3594509,22456256,2014-11-07,6923249,Laurel,"Great location, very comfortable space for our family. Judson and Lucia were very welcoming and accommodating. We have 2 small children and they were comfortable on the small love seats, and loved being 2 minutes walk to the park and 5 minutes to Quacks and Julio's. Also- Trick or treat on Ave F is fantastic!! 

Laundry facilities upstairs are convenient. There is a good selection of appliances and dishes in the apartment, but we wished there was a toaster. Fist floor unit is easier for small kids. Would definitely stay again."

3594509,22960050,2014-11-18,23080416,Richard,"Judson was traveling on business when we arrived, but we knew this ahead of time.  Lucia, who is the property contact for Judson, met us in the apartment when we arrived.  She was very gracious and explained everything about the apartment and the apartment keys. She also answered immediately all of our questions before we booked the apartment.
The description of the apartment on line is very accurate.  It was very neat, clean, and well organized.  Although we did not cook very much, all of the items to do some cooking were present.  It did not matter to us that there was no microwave.  We slept well in a comfortable bed.
The neighbourhood and apartment complex were very quiet. The university shuttle stops in front of the apartment.  Traffic noise was not noticeable at all.  There was parking for our rental car in the rear.  A large screen tv was available to watch--very nice."

Only quasi-complaint I could come up with is that there was no microwave... but who needs that nasty microwave popcorn anyway LOL?  We would definitely rent Judson's place again if we are ever back in Austin.  What a fun city with great places to eat, party and listen to live music!"
3594509,23607927,2014-12-06,24017555,Brian,"The apartment is exactly as pictured. The Chromecast was cheerfully used, and allowed us to wind down with a movie on our first day there after our long 17 hour drive to Austin.

The location is perfect for exploring Austin, and you will be close to food, coffee, stores, etc.

I have nothing but praise for the flexibility given for when we could pick up the keys. We were able to get the keys almost immediately, and it was easier than any hotel would be to fall into bed. The comforter on the bed was awesome btw!

The only complaint I had was water pressure. But it was minor, and it was adequate for baths and showers. The water came out nice and warm.

Would definitely recommend, and will stay again!"
3594509,24439634,2014-12-28,750604,Manny,"Judson's place is in a great location relative to just about everything in central Austin. Hyde park is a great neighborhood for a walk, run or bike with coffee shops and grocery in walking distance.  

His pad is neat and tidy and has pretty much everything needed for both a short or extended stay.   The water pressure for the shower is low but adequate. 

Alysia, the property manager, was helpful and we appreciate that she met us despite a later than planned check in. 

We would definitely rent the unit again on a future visit if it is available. "

She was very inviting and accommodating to  our schedule to pick up and drop off the keys to the place. It's exactly as is picture and was the perfect size for us. Location was great and the parking included was really nice. If we ever find ourselves back in Austin, we would definitely stay here again!

Only complaint was that there were sugar ants in the place. Not enough to make it bad but just make sure you don't leave any food out on the counter."

Luis' place is what we decided on as it seemed like a reasonable place to stay for a few days. We weren't disappointed when we got there! Luis' place was clean and modern. As we were driving, the free parking outside the apartment was a godsend! Luis was so understanding and patient as we had some minor issues on the road which meant our ETA was pushed back several times. He was easy to reach and his positive attitude to helping us really made us feel comfortable in a city we were unfamiliar with. Thanks Luis!!! "

Luis's apartment is conveniently located near to Austin's main attractions, but far enough from the commotion. Also, The apartment was perfect for our stay. It's a cozy, cute place that easily felt like home. Luis was also very accommodating and attentive. We didn't see him once, but he left very good instructions, and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again if given the opportunity.  "

He was very attentive, made sure everything was in order and even gave me a bottle wine. :) His place is beautiful - it's clean, quiet, in a great neighborhood and close to everything. I enjoyed everything about my stay and would definitely stay here again!"
8151698,51775337,2015-10-24,12457735,Gregory,Luis was very helpful and friendly. The apartment is clean and located in a very prime location. I had a great time

3371432,22341235,2014-11-03,22693858,Amanda,"This house was a cozy spot for our weekend trip to Austin!  Very interesting art on the walls.  It was comfortable for the 3 of us and even one more could have joined.  Only problem I had was that our original reservation was cancelled about a week prior to the trip (through the same company) so I had to find another place within the week to stay.  Luckily, I found a good spot so it all worked out!  I would definitely recommend this house for a trip to Austin."
3371432,22612307,2014-11-10,16520596,Jackie,"TurnKey and Erica were great. Very responsive hosts. The TurnKey app was great and informative. When we arrived, we accidentally set the alarm and the TurnKey people called us just to make sure it was us and everything was okay. The property was great. Beautiful. It's been remodeled and was very updated and Pinterest-y. The three things I would mention to perspective guests are 1) the bedrooms get a lot of light in the morning (a little hard to sleep in) 2) there is a lot of highway noise being so close to the highway (which is great though for getting around) 3) there is some interesting sexually suggestive art (which is nice and artistically done, but also could be a little iffy for children or adults who are sensitive to such things). Overall really good looking property though and I will definitely rent from Erica/TurnKey again! Very nice and easy experience."

76309,201542,2011-03-17,414045,Adam,"Paula's house is a great retreat, especially from the frantic place that Austin becomes during SXSW. Paula is a great host and exceptionally kind - I felt really well looked after considered. You will have everything you need and the chance to hear some great music. It's worth bearing in mind that for the festival you are a 20min bus ride away and it's worth orientating yourself with the Austin CapMetro quickly.

Overall a great stay!!
"
76309,205042,2011-03-21,408003,Nicole,"Paula's place was great! The bed was comfy, the room was quiet, and her house is clean and cozy. She was very welcoming and made my boyfriend and I feel at home. She also has the sweetest dog ever. The location was lovely - residential, but just a ten minute drive to downtown and close to a few great brunch spots. The house also has an AMAZING back porch overlooking lots of trees. It was the perfect spot for sipping coffee in the morning and made it easy to forget you were within the city limits. This was my first experience using Airbnb and I couldn't have asked for more!"
76309,1003890,2012-03-15,1845629,Yasmin,"Paula was very welcoming, gave us a lovely hot meal after a very long flight. Bed was comfy and the deck is a pretty place for breakfast. We played dominos with her and a friend one evening which was a great night in. It's a lovely quiet suburb which is nice during the maddness of sxsw.
Note if you don't have a car, you need to be aware of the bus time table, which ends early. it's a little bus trip, and we ordered a taxi one night and it never came, taxis are not really reliable during sxsw."
76309,1020735,2012-03-19,1878087,Silvana,Paula was a good host.  She was friendly and recommended several places for us to go eat.  Her home is very close to downtown Austin.  My friend and I felt welcomed at her place.  I would recommend her to other travelers.  
76309,11057362,2014-03-18,12542886,Ryan,"I booked this room not quite knowing what to expect, having never used air bnb before this stay and all I can say is it was wonderful. On top of the room being nice the house itself is located just five minutes from the nearest bus stop, with routes heading directly to downtown Austin every half hour. In terms of convenience and overall pleasantness this is hard to beat, with a cozy atmosphere and a great host to make the experience totally frictionless."
76309,17217595,2014-08-09,4359349,Kausik,"I made this one month airbnb rental(my longest airbnb reservation yet) not knowing what to expect. I am glad to have made this choice, it was not merely just another a convenient stay, but thanks to Paula i got to know city better, fostered good friendships. Paula has gone above and beyond to help accommodate a comfortable stay. Home was close enough to lot of restaurants and nightlife in SoLA/SoFi, yet tucked away from all the noise in a quiet neighborhood. "
76309,27854000,2015-03-13,28721348,Darlene,"This was my first time using (website hidden)
It had been 14 years since my BFF and I have been back to Austin. Remembering the hospitality and friendliness of Austinites, the fact we would be out and about the town.. renting a room was ideal! I'm so glad we did. Paula was a friendly, informative and attentive host. Her home was inviting and serene. We had a very good trip and when in Austin again, we will surely stay with her again! The neighborhood was so convenient to everything! I'm already missing Austin! "
76309,28381981,2015-03-23,11594073,Gareth,"Paula was very prompt and thorough in replying to all queries throughout the booking process.  When it transpired, due to my late arrival time, that she couldn't be there to welcome me, she arranged for a friend to be at the property and I was able to access the room immediately.  
During my stay I had the opportunity to chat to Paula who made me feel very welcome and was always ready to recommend local restaurants and attractions.
The house was very clean and well kept.  The house rules were clearly laid out and did not feel onerous.  In contrast to the rest of my time at SXSW, the house was an oasis of calm, which helped me recharge my batteries for each following day.  The shower always had hot water and excellent water pressure to help revitalise me.  The bed was very comfortable too.  I would heartily recommend this property whether a stay during SXSW or any other time of the year."
521689,22380663,2014-11-04,22844472,James,"I highly recommend this place for a quiet and private stay.  The home was very clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and conveniently located.  The backyard was especially nice; very peaceful and spiritual.  Overall, a great experience.   Communication with Chris, the homeowner, was excellent."
521689,23342304,2014-11-29,11495235,Leslie,"My family and I stayed at Christine's lovely home for the Thanksgiving holiday. It truly was a home away from home! Christine made us feel so welcome, her house is spacious yet cozy and clean. Her backyard is beautiful, well manicured, and relaxing. It's a great neighborhood for going for a jog or walking a dog, and is conveniently located. Christine made sure we had everything we needed and we really couldn't have asked for anything more. "
521689,28210690,2015-03-20,26498600,Ricky,"The house was wonderful and in a great location. Clean,  Christine was very welcoming and accommodating. My team and I stayed here for SXSW, and Christine was very flexible in housing additional people, holding boxes for us prior to arriving for the trade show, etc. Overall would love to stay here again, would highly recommend!"
521689,32483827,2015-05-18,30020613,Ashley,Christine's house was great! It was exactly what we needed for our trip. I only wish it hadn't rained as much so we could have spent more time in her amazing backyard. And she was also very helpful with places to check out in Austin. I definitely recommend her place!
521689,50632342,2015-10-13,41308892,Conor,"Great house in a quiet neighborhood in Austin. Nice big backyard, comfortable bedrooms, full kitchen. The host was welcoming, responsive, and available by phone for any questions. Would definitely rent again. "
521689,51474402,2015-10-20,7179791,Alex,"This is a nice house with a good location in Austin.  Chris, left some coffee and fruit for us to get started.  Checking in and communicating went very smoothly."
521689,52045360,2015-10-26,2245461,Robbie,Christine was great! We were in town for a wedding. And she was very accommodating. I just wish it hadn't rained all weekend so we could have gotten more use out of the wonderful backyard. When we arrived in town we were looking for a place to eat dinner and watch Thursday Night Football. I texted Christine and she gave a great suggestion. We had excellent communication with her the whole whenever necessary.
1183604,29832718,2015-04-13,28172836,Victoria,"We had such a great experience staying at Valerie and Joel's place! The house is beautiful and clean with plenty of fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. I traveled in a group of 8 and there was plenty of space for all of us. Our hosts left us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift, which was so appreciated and thoughtful, and checked in with us to make sure that we had everything that we needed and no questions. The backyard is amazing and all of us spent an afternoon relaxing there, playing ping pong, listening to music and enjoying the sunshine. The kitchen had everything we needed and there was even a keurig with a variety of pods for us to use. I would highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to Austin and our host was so thoughtful and attentive and made us feel right at home. Thanks again!"
1183604,33224594,2015-05-26,26871037,Michael,"Had a great time staying at this location. Interior was well put together, looked great, and is accurately depicted. Amenities were more than adequate and we had everything we needed for cooking and entertaining (welcome cookies were much appreciated).  Really enjoyed the back patio which was large and comfortable enough to accommodate 10 of us. Location was close to a lot of activities and points of interest. I would recommend this listing to others, thanks for a great stay!"
1183604,34405452,2015-06-08,27973218,Brandon,The house was great! It was exactly what we were looking for. It was our home away from home. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. 
1183604,35912076,2015-06-23,23004324,Aaron,"What a great house! Valerie and Joel were amazing hosts and the house was perfect for our group. So close to everything (including Torchy's Tacos, which we visited 4 times), plenty of towels and linens, fantastic outdoor space, and very nicely furnished. Will definitely look for this house again when I have a group coming to Austin."
1183604,36502506,2015-06-29,25130326,Mallory,"Our experience was wonderful! Although there were a couple hiccups, thank you for being so quick to handle them, and for the thoughtful gift card!"
1183604,39915461,2015-07-27,31154678,Kara,"The house was very well maintained and beautiful.  We had a large group of 11 people and were able to accommodate everyone.  The welcome packet was very detailed on the specifics of the house as well.  All linens were provided for the bedding, the kitchen was fairly stocked with kitchen supplies, and large stash of toilet paper for the bathrooms.  We were well accommodated!  

The location itself is very close to downtown and restaurants of interest.  We were minutes away per car from HEB and Walmart so we were able to stalk the fridge pretty easily with drinks and food.  We were able to use Uber to safely get around downtown as well.  "
1183604,40956063,2015-08-03,12142911,Lauren,"This house is beautiful. The neighborhood is close to downtown Austin as well as restaurants and shops, which made it very convenient for us. We had 9 people, and were able to utilize the air mattress and couch to sleep everyone comfortably. We spent some time in the backyard, but it was very hot. It would be better to utilize the backyard when it's not so hot outside. Valerie and Joel did a wonderful job of making us feel welcome, and we would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin!"
1183604,49775348,2015-10-06,2675134,Tommy,"First thing I want to say is that I've used airbnb all over the world and I don't think I've ever felt the need to write a bad review but... The host had advertised the place for $850/night (standard gouging for Austin festival weekends now) and after we agreed to it, the host informed us that they had forgotten about the ""15% city/state hotel tax"" which the hosts claimed they had forgotten about.  In hindsight we shouldn't have agreed to it but we were running out of time and were afraid to end up with nothing.  The following weekend we ended up in another home that was much bigger and far less expensive.  
The other thing that happened was that they are advertising 6 beds... so to be clear there are 4 actual beds, one air mattress and a couch that is supposed to fold out to a bed, but didn't really work that well.  There wasn't really any comfortable space to lay out the air mattress, so we never used it and one of our group stayed elsewhere.  

The good news is that the place was clean and had a pretty nice patio situation which unfortunately we didn't really get much use out of.  The location is good for restaurants and easy access to the freeway.   The hosts seemed nice enough but never met them.  "
8507040,50713841,2015-10-13,45735614,Alec,"Mark was an excellent host and kept a healthy line of communication with me and the rest of his guests for the ACL weekend. He made me feel very welcome in his beautiful home. Very cozy. The room was exactly what I expected; spacious and clean. The neighborhood was great as well. Very safe and peaceful. I even had the pleasure of walking is adorable dog. Overall, Mark made my first Airbnb and first ACL experience a success. Definitely and an A+ host. I will certainly be keeping him in mind for my next trip to Austin. Thanks again, Mark."
8507040,52294106,2015-10-27,46488798,Robert,"Mark (and his brother Sam) are both very accommodating, sociable, and inclusive.  The house is comfortable, clean, spacious and full of music. It felt like I was just crashing with friends by the end of the weekend.  "
3021366,15432005,2014-07-08,13701836,Sue,"I greatly enjoyed my stay in the Modern East Austin Private suite!  The suite was just as it appeared in the photos and was roomy, tastefully decorated, and private.  Spencer was able to suggest a few great places to eat nearby and made sure that we had all that we needed.  I would definitely recommended that you stay here when you travel to Austin!"
3021366,15611345,2014-07-12,15518128,Amrita,"Great experience in Austin at Spencer's place. Comfortable, extremely well located to East Austin bars and walkable proximity (for new yorkers) to downtown, easy drive to South Congress area. Spencer was extremely accommodating and responsive to a last minute request, and though we did not have a chance to meet, was a helpful and excellent host."
3021366,15992648,2014-07-19,11746244,James,"Spencer was very patient and flexible with us in regards to our booking as we were having issues with the internet. The room was great, really set out as if you were staying in a hotel, it even had a mini bar & hair dryer! The neighborhood was quite and only a 5 minute cab into the heart of the nightlife district. I'd definitely stay with Spencer again."
3021366,17528737,2014-08-13,1458103,Alice,"We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at Spencer's.  The unit was very clean, secluded, and quiet.  For such a private space, the location was ideal, especially for an easy walk to the Eastside for food trucks and bars.  Our first day, Spencer came downstairs from his unit and graciously let us know he was around if ever we needed him."
3021366,17980305,2014-08-19,7342768,Leroy,Welcomed us at the front door upon arrival. The listing was exactly as promised. Very happy with our time here.
3021366,18374503,2014-08-25,415342,Emily,"I had a great experience staying at Spencer's place in Austin. Room was private, quite and cool in the heat of August. The mini fridge with flitered water and electric kettle were great additions. Location was perfect. Right in the middle of the hip East Austin scene and close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again. "
3021366,19246456,2014-09-08,12194766,Lucas,"Phenomenal space. The room was impeccably clean, with lots of great amenities. We have nothing but good things to say about this place, and will definitely be looking it up next time we're in Austin!"

Spencer greeted us on our arrival and was very welcoming.

When we were looking in the ""shared space"" section my boyfriend and I were worried that we would feel awkward, that wasn't the case with Spencer's home. It's on the bottom level of a town home with a private entry and bathroom, everything you need for a busy weekend or short trip. The bed was so comfortable and everything was really clean. I will definitely be contacting Spencer in the event I need another place to stay in Austin!"
3021366,22839407,2014-11-16,12643546,Kate,"The suite was exactly as described and had everything we needed for our stay in Austin.

Although I never met Spencer, he was there by phone if I ever needed him. I couldn't connect with the wifi and he fixed it right away. 

The door code was very convenient as I didn't have to worry about a key. 

I had an overall great experience staying here and I would book this place again on my next trip to Austin."

The apartment has a great location, walking distance to a lot of great spots in East Austin, and not far from downtown either. It's listed as a private room, but it's on its own floor with a keyless entry system, so it feels very private. We didn't meet Spencer during our stay, but he was very responsive to texts / emails and was very accommodating with our rest for a late check-out. Definitely recommend his place to other interested guests."

It was easy to get to many parts of East Austin as well as downtown. Spencer also left a list of recommendations for coffee shops and restaurants which was great for getting settled in. He was very responsive and quickly answered any questions we had. Having the separate bathroom and entrance was also a huge plus for a longer stay."

3021366,27021396,2015-02-23,3551541,Minell,"Our experience at Spencer's home was great! It is exactly as pictured and it seemed brand new! The unit is on the bottom floor and is shared with the top floor, but it seemed very private. The bed was so comfortable (it made us reconsider our own bed). The location is great. We walked everywhere for brunch and dinner/drinks. There is a great bar near by called Weather Up! It is exactly a 20 minute walk to Rainey Street (our favorite). We took a Uber back from 6th street area and it only cost about 5 dollars. The location is ideal for anyone who want to drop their off for the weekend and go explore. We really enjoyed our stay there and will definitely be considering it again for next time we are in Austin!"

he was on hand for questions the entire time I stayed and was friendly and welcoming. 
The apartment is modern and clean, the bed is incredibly comfortable and the shower is perfect.
The only issue I had on a couple of nights was the music from the nearby bars on the weekend - you may want to bring some earplugs. 
Apart from that I would have no hesitation in staying there again. "
3021366,29334859,2015-04-06,18280786,Jennifer,"The room was lovely and clean (like in the picture). The neighborhood was great and it was easy to walk to downtown (we even walked to soco, which is a bit further but doable). Spencer left a list of recommendation for bars and restaurants, we tried two of them and were really happy with both!! I would definitely come back!"
3021366,30883743,2015-04-28,3932563,Ben & Genevieve,"Room is cozy with all that appears in photos. It worked great for us! Spencer is also awesome with his choice of soaps, shampoos, ect. Bed was dangerously comfortable and the AC allowed you to keep the room at any desired temp.

Walking distance (20-25 mins) to rainey st, 6th st, and DT. Ubers were very cheap, $5, if you didnt want to walk. Would definitely come back. Thanks, Spencer!"
3021366,31461392,2015-05-05,30856777,Ella,Our experience was great. The place was cozy and looks just like the pictures. We walked downtown numerous times and it wasn't bad at all. Would definitely return.

The room was just as pictured, with a small fridge and water kettle in the hall, the bed very comfortable and the keyless entry made it easy to come and go without worry. The neighborhood was great and walking distance to great food and fresh juice—we really enjoyed Cenote…Wish we would have had more time to explore all of the recommendations on Spencer's list…a great stay and gracious host! "
3021366,33149416,2015-05-25,6432857,Joanna,Spencer was very quick to respond to any queries I had. The weather was terrible and lightning took down the internet - but he had that fixed very quickly.   He left great tips for local eateries etc.   The apartment was perfect for what we needed over the weekend.  The bed was very comfortable and everything fresh and clean.
3021366,34453156,2015-06-08,32296250,Marissa,"Room was just as described.  Very clean and the mattress was a dream.  The neighborhood was also awesome.  You're within walking distance to coffee shops, bars and some amazing food trucks.  We had a blast!"

3021366,37380951,2015-07-06,36390130,Chris,Spencer did a great job communicating and making it easy to access the property.  The neighborhood is very walkable with bars and restaurants nearby but yet it was very quiet.  We brought our bikes and it was a very safe 1/2 mile ride to the Lady Bird Lake Bike Trail.  
3021366,42279848,2015-08-12,1885415,Hazel,Spencer was a wonderful host - he lives above the room and was around to show us the space but not overbearing at all. And the room is very comfortable - the bed is fantastic! There is a private bathroom and dressing room. We got Ubers downtown or walked to the many cool bars in East Austin. A great location. 
3021366,52954870,2015-11-03,7151282,Sonia,"Fantastic place, just as described. Super clean and comfortable. Great communication with Spencer. Both Spencer and his brother were incredibly helpful (especially when we got caught in a torrential downpour!). Beds were amazing. Really cute neighborhood in east Austin (my favorite part of the city). Thank you, Spencer! "

Her home is beautiful and more than comfortably fit my group of 6. 

Would highly recommend staying with Lorna!!"
3281553,52036669,2015-10-26,19662120,Richard,"This is what a ""5 Star property"" means!
Location - on a quiet residential street of single family homes in the desirable Rosedale section of Austin. Lots of excellent restaurants, shops, etc. nearby. Easy access to downtown. 
Property - totally renovated, beautifully finished throughout, charmingly decorated. Everything is up-to-date, clean and operational.  The listing is completely accurate and the photos are truthfully representative (actually the home is even more impressive in person). A large open-plan living space, a private master suite with a frankly amazing shower, plus two more bedrooms (one with a double bed, and the other - a child's room - with a twin trundle bed) and a second full bathroom.
Hosts - fantastic! We were made to feel like personal friends coming to visit. Lorna is so warm and friendly. Once we met and got oriented,  she was always available (text or phone) if you need her assistance, yet never intrusive at all. The house is centrally air-conditioned and fitted with ceiling fans.
Other notes - this is a family home, lived in by the host family when not being rented, so it is fully fitted and equipped with everything you need (except of course your food and personal toiletries). The finished surfaces, appliances, fixtures and  utensils are all new and of high quality. The home has full media access - U-verse TV (with some premium channels), wi-fi, and BluRay. Though it was pouring down with rain during our stay and we weren't able to use it, there's a lovely deck/patio in the backyard.
In conclusion, I honestly cannot think of any negatives to this home, and will consider it my first and best option when visiting Austin in the future. We were a party of 4 adults and a 10-year-old child, and we all really enjoyed returning ""home"" after our day's activities.
Thank you, Lorna,  for the gracious hospitality."

She was very sweet and accommodating; our stay was completely easy and stress free and I will totally rebook Gabrielle's house the next time my friends and I come to Austin!"
720616,3991105,2013-04-01,5557043,Nikki,I loved staying in Gabrielle Gianella home. They was so welcoming to my guest and I. Super sweet The pictures didn't do this beautiful place justice. It was very spacious and a great location to stay at. It was about 15 min from downtown.  Close by some food places. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin for a weekend.  Thanks Again for being Welcoming into your home!!
720616,4248646,2013-04-22,2421105,Jack And Diya,"Absolutely gorgeous house, with amazing hosts! I was looking for a house larger than my own with a pool and backyard grill to celebrate my 30th birthday in style, and Gabrielle's place was just perfect! Gabrielle and Cynthia were extremely accommodating with all our requests, and are just nice and easygoing people. Communication was prompt and quick, we didn't have to go back and forth on much at all. The house itself has a beautiful backyard with a pool, can easily accommodate large groups of people, and has an 83"" inch TV (seriously.)
I highly recommend them as hosts, and their house as a getaway/celebration spot!"
720616,4678772,2013-05-20,1786326,Tina,"Gabriella was such a gracious host. She welcomed us to Austin with a copy of the Austin Chronicle that lists local music and art events as well as a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The pool and home was very clean. My favorite part was the outdoor living space. It had 3 different comfortable seating areas, a fan to cut the Texas heat, and tons of potted plants and succulents to provide a relaxing space. I highly recommend Gabrielle's home! "
720616,4858174,2013-05-29,2103713,Lifen And Dan,"Our family of 13 people had a small 4-day gathering in Austin for our son's wedding (7 stayed in the house; 4, in hotel; and 2 in another airbnb). We could not have picked a better place than Gabrielle and Cinthya's house. This house offers everything that we may need for a convenient stay and family gathering. We would not have so much fun if we stayed in the hotel. Cinthya and Gabrielle were kindly welcome us with a bottle wine and a big lemon cake. Thank you!"
720616,5215347,2013-06-18,1902371,Erin,"This place is AWESOME and Gabrielle and Cynthia were very welcoming, attentive,easy going and gracious hosts.  We had a big family all visiting Austin for my sister's wedding and I was looking for a place we could stay that would serve as a gathering spot for our tribe...and this was the PERFECT place.  The house is large and beautifully decorated, and  the pool space was equally so with patio furniture, ceiling fans and a fire pit.  They even left us stuff to make s'mores, which the kids loved (and a yummy six pack of beer too)!  There is literally a ""movie theatre"" upstairs which is a big bonus....especially with kids.  We had tons of fun, swimming in the pool, water volleyball, movies upstairs, s'mores by the fire pit....We were all perfectly content to just hang at the house.  We ordered BBQ from Salt Lick, tacos from Torchy's and really shared some quality time together which was the goal.  I couldn't imagine a better place for our family.  No one wanted to leave (my daughter actually cried when we left)!  Can't wait to get back...and next time be will definitely stay longer.  I highly recommend this place....doesn't get much better.  Thanks Gabby and Cynthia!"
720616,5453763,2013-07-01,740112,Theresa,We had an amazing weekend at Gabrielle & Cinthya's home! The home was a short drive to downtown Austin and had everything we needed. The pictures don't do this backyard justice. 
720616,6654749,2013-08-20,6454517,Donna,"The house had a homey feeling, with spacious rooms and a oasis like backyard. Fabulous location to all Austin landmarks and tourist destinations.  Minutes away from 6th Street and downtown Austin!!!!!  The hosts were very friendly and welcoming."
720616,6808625,2013-08-26,2145772,Adrian,"Wow...we had an amazing time at Gabrielle and Cinthya's home. 2 of us were celebrating our Bachelorette weekend, and these 2 lovely ladies left a banner congratulating us, and wine to enjoy. The house is super cozy, very spacious, and the pool is amazing. Easy access to all major freeways, downtown and Congress. What a wonderful way to spend our last days as single. Thank you for letting us be guests in your home!! Highly recommended :)"
720616,7005229,2013-09-03,5259328,Gretchen,"Great house and host! My bridesmaids stayed here for my wedding weekend and it was a great hang out/meet up place! The house is clean, beds comfy, and Gabrielle left the girls some tasty pastries! Highly recommend. Thank you, Gabrielle! "

720616,7691132,2013-09-30,6693530,Sarah,"My family had a wonderful stay at Gabrielle and Cynthia's home. We had our daughter's 1st birthday party there and it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The house was spacious and the outdoor rooms were inviting. The older kids played upstairs in the tv loft while the adults moved about the backyard and dining room.  

The bedrooms and bathrooms were very accommodating for our stay. Their kitchen was stocked with all the necessities.

This being our first airbnb experience, I can confidently say Gabrielle and Cynthia have set the bar quite high!"
720616,7868685,2013-10-07,4132552,Alonso,"Beautiful house, very clean, Gabrielle was very helpful. The overall experience was great, I will highly recommend it."
720616,8365654,2013-10-28,7980783,Andy,"We had a fantastic time in Austin. Our family party of 8 would all like to revisit.The house is a 20mins cab ride from 6th Street but you have to allow 30mins for them to get to you. Accommodation is perfect and pool a real bonus. We recommend the bar the the Whole Food Supermarket, 15min walk ( us Brits like to walk!). We really liked The Continental Club and The Broken Spoke.If fitness is your thing, visit Oak Hill Crossfit. Unfortunately because of a 'refurb', we had to save the 'chicken shit bingo' at Ginny's until next time. THERE WILL BE A NEXT TIME! Thank you very much Gabrielle for lending us your home. X"
720616,11400782,2014-04-01,2575610,Payal,"We booked this home for a bachelorette party in Austin, we had a total of 7 girls. We very much enjoyed our stay, it was nice to have a house that accommodated everyone, it was relatively easy to call a cab to take us into town, there are plenty of grocery stores and places to grab a quick bite close by.

We did have one complaint regarding the cleanliness of the house. The place was unfortunately very dirty. My friends hung some streamers/decorations and there were spiderwebs and cobwebs everywhere. The bathrooms and tubs were dirty with dust and hair everywhere. Anytime we would set clothing down somewhere or get up from the couch we had dog hair all over us. One of our group members is allergic to dogs and spent the entire weekend sneezing due to all the dog hair and pet dander. The level of cleanliness was overall a lot less than what I have experienced with other airbnb and vacation rentals. Especially when there is a $195 cleaning fee involved. If we are paying a cleaning fee, I would expect that the place be clean when we get there as well.  One of the main attractions of booking this place was the pool, but it was so dirty with leaves/twigs/debris everywhere that it wasn't really usable. 

Though we enjoyed our stay, with how dirty the house was, I would not book it again for that reason only.  The owners were very nice in communicating with me prior to booking the place and did give us a great deal on the rental, so definitely nothing against them, but the cleanliness of the place unfortunately left a lot to be desired. 
"
720616,11738025,2014-04-14,11556064,Angelica,"Gabrielle and her home were fantastic. A few friends and I rented the house for my bachelorette party. Gabrielle was wonderful, both in her emails and in-person. Very nice and responsive whenever we had any questions. The house itself is great. It's an easy distance to get to downtown, the lake, and other fun spots in Austin. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Very safe. We loved the fire pit in the backyard! The bedrooms are comfortable and clean. Plenty of space to hang out on the couches upstairs and downstairs. Gabrielle had even prepared the pullout couch for us before we arrived. All around good times. Thanks, Gabrielle!"
720616,12815641,2014-05-12,7595130,Candace,"Gabrielle's house was perfect for our bachelorette party of 10 girls.  She was unbelievably responsive and so quick to offer suggestions of things to do around town.  She also left us a bottle of wine to celebrate.  

Convenient neighborhood next to a pretty awesome Whole Foods and any commodities you may need and only 10 min to S. Congress.

Love love love...couldn't ask for anything more!!

720616,13400510,2014-05-27,11369642,Ashley,"The house was amazing! Gabrielle was a pleasure to deal with. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we would definitely go back. 
Thank you for the hospitality! We loved Austin!!!"
720616,13944325,2014-06-09,11598496,Laurie,"     We met with the host when we arrived and she was very nice.  She had even made up a pull-out couch in case we had anyone else who wanted to stay.  The house served our purpose as we were able to gather with family outside on the patio and inside with no problem because the house was quite spacious.  But, we were disappointed because the house was quite dirty.  Every floor in the house had a lot of dog hair and there was an underlying dog smell throughout.  One of the people in our party went to the carpeted room upstairs to do his morning stretches and when he got up his clothes were covered in dog hair.  My husband was wearing white socks around the house one day and looked at the bottoms of them to find them black.  Maintenance is lacking on the entire property and for the price we paid, and the cleaning fee we paid, we feel like things were not as nice as they should have been...not as nice as the pictures portrayed.  The beds and towels were clean and nice so that's a big plus.  The neighborhood was plenty nice and it was very close to the location of the wedding we were attending.  "
720616,15302496,2014-07-07,12212150,Leigh,Had an amazing time. The location of the house is perfect for getting out and about around town day or night. Set up of the house was perfect for our large group and the host was beyond accommodating. Definitely recommend!
720616,16053900,2014-07-21,6744323,Brooke,"This nice house is on a quiet street--and it didn't take more than 20 minutes to get anywhere we needed to go! Gabrielle answered all of our questions promptly, and we received a thorough explanation of where everything was located, how to turn on the pool pump, etc. when we arrived. The house was clean, they provided firewood and propane, and even had a bottle of wine waiting for us! Overall great place to stay for our quiet family vacation :)"
720616,18327894,2014-08-25,18337357,Erik,Our stay was a success. The location was great and the pool was perfect to help us cool down after golf.   Gabrielle was very nice and easy to work with.
720616,18872600,2014-09-02,10415794,Jessica,"My friends and I loved our experience at Gabrielle's home! We sought a rental where we knew we could spend a lot of time around the house and in the backyard, and this house fit that bill. The pool gave us a refreshing break from Austin's heat and humidity. The house itself was clean and nicely decorated, and Gabrielle was available to us via call/text to answer whatever questions we had. All in all, we had a wonderful trip! "
720616,19585589,2014-09-15,12146756,Lisa,Needed a place for family to stay and prep some food for my daughter's wedding. Very nice neighborhood. Convenient locations. Restaurants and shops just down the street. We enjoyed the pool so much in the hot September weather. The house is clean and adorable. The beds where wonderfully comfortable. Plenty of towels in the house. Gabrielle was so accomodating and gathered much needed coolers for me to transport flowers and food to the wedding. She was always available to answer my texts and phone calls if we needed assistance or had questions. 
720616,20418950,2014-09-29,18722810,Christina,"Gabrielle has been a great host and very accommodating. The house was perfect for our group of five colleagues, we had plenty of space and the pool and bbq were superb. When going downtown on a weekend night in Austin in general make sure to reserve a taxi in advance as there seems to be a scarcity. Many thanks Gabrielle we had a blast!"

720616,33233195,2015-05-26,12726872,Shannon,"Gabrielle was a great host.  When we called her with a problem with the AC, she was immediately responsive and had someone come out to fix the problem.  The yard/pool was a great gathering area for our family.  The house was a little older than we expected from the pictures, so comes with some of the quirks of an older home, but it was large and the outdoor area is a great space. "
720616,34426731,2015-06-08,30420891,Conor,We had an amazing time hanging out by the pool and grilling our dinner for the weekend.  The house is exactly as described and the hosts were more than accommodating for everything we needed.  Close to a major highway for quick access to downtown and situated in a great neighborhood.  We could not have imagined a better stay!

Check in and out were seamless, thanks again. Gabrielle was quick with any responses that we needed."

It was close enough to get anywhere within thirty minutes yet quiet enough to have a relaxing vacation.  Several really good restaurants are in the area as well, including one charcoal grilled chicken one that changed my life. Would definitely stay again. "
5372968,35035153,2015-06-14,35319686,Sean,"Host was easily reachable and was prompt in responding any of my inquiries.  He was very accommodating, especially when it came to my Labrador (the host even left our dog treats).  In the beginning of our stay, their was some issues with the cleaning agency the host used, but the host personally took responsibility and rectified the issue.  Unfortunately this caused my wife, dog and I an inconvenience since we had to leave the apartment in order for it to be re-cleaned.  Due to this, the host gave us an extra night stay for free.  We still feel the cleaning service the host used still did not clean to a standard other cleaning services would be held to. The apartment is in a quiet area.  Unfortunately you can smell smoke or ""illegal smoke"" while walking to and from your car.  I would recommend this apartment to singles or young couples.  this apartment is part of an older complex, though the host modernizes their apartment which gives the apartment a cool bachelor feel.  

When my family and I had to extend our stay, the host quickly responded and approved our stay via AIRBNB.  Overall, this apartment allowed my wife and I the opportunity to see the city and conduct research while not paying extra for our pet.  The internet was fast enough for our needs, to include streaming videos.  The host has a great small library of interesting book that range from mystery thrillers to financial advise.         "

They offered me use of their kitchen and dining area in addition to the room, which was very helpful.

The house itself is gorgeous; pictures don't do it justice. They both made me feel so welcome, and were definitely one of the highlights of my week in Austin. Particularly for people with allergies or those who are new to the city (and I fit both of those categories) they really are the ideal hosts! Plus, their key system is totally great. Would definitely recommend. "
7422589,47123272,2015-09-15,43505280,Bryan,"Staying with Gen and Sushi was my first time using AirBnB. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Gen and Sushi are super easy to talk to and incredibly knowledgable and helpful when it comes to navigating Austin. Their house is comfortable and clean. Their front door lock is controlled by an app, so going and coming as you please is very convenient. Couldn't recommend them enough. "
7422589,48151010,2015-09-23,20948461,Glen,"Wonderful hosts in a very nice and clean home. Gen and Sushi are super nice and accommodating and if I ever needed to recommend a great place to stay to someone in town, they'd be at the top of the list. "
7422589,48633114,2015-09-27,27088694,Oscar,"Great experience with Genevieve. After a long drive, Genevieve welcomed me into a game of Scattergories with her and her friends. Great use of technology to allow convenient access in and out of the house and thank you for giving me a thorough explanation to settle my curiosity. Listing is conveniently located between Austin and Round Rock- easy access to both I-35 and Mopac. I would gladly stay again!"

Thanks!"

1593744,20902125,2014-10-07,19903847,Maura,"
Lakshmi's Barton Springs spot was the absolute perfect location to crash for ACL fest! Her home was welcoming and spotless and made our Austin experience that much better! Lakshmi herself was also very helpful in pointing out some hip spots that were easily walkable for food or necessities. Definitely recommend for a long weekend adventure for a fun group!
"
1593744,21303845,2014-10-14,4192020,Cesar,"Very nice house, comfortable, close to everything. On a quiet side street in a very safe neighborhood. We walked to Zilker Park for Austin City Limits and it was very close and a nice walk. The house is well equiped, clean, good amount of space. Beds are comfortable and the wi-fi worked well. Lakshmi is a warm, gracious host and made sure we had everything we needed."

We were able to take an Uber and be at the park in less than 10 minutes. Place was great, just as pictured and described. Shay even left us some extra bedding to accommodate an extra guest who joined us at the last minute. "

2248841,10881246,2014-03-11,9500795,Leanne,"Graham and Amanda have _the_ perfect home for an Austin getaway. Every detail is thought out and lovely and friendly and gorgeous. I stayed here with two co-workers, my husband and a young baby during SXSW 2014. Here's a brief description of our first morning there:

You wake up in a room flooded with bright, refreshing light. A ceiling fan circles overhead as you stretch out on the comfortable bed, nestled between thick pillows. Your baby coos in the travel crib while your housemate grinds fresh coffee in the kitchen. Hot shower. Cool tiles. The softest rug you've ever felt comforts your weary feet. Flip through the host's guide to local restaurants. Think of all the things you could do that day, and know that it might be just as fun to stay in this home for the day.

If it's not obvious, we had a great time. This house is gorgeous and the owners are sweethearts. You cannot go wrong at Amanda and Graham's slice of Austin paradise. They made it easy for us to settle in and get around town, and were always available to answer questions. There's even a fire pit on the back porch! Sit by that and drink a Shiner Bock, future guests. You will not regret it.      "
701032,3771838,2013-03-13,1156819,Jason,"Gabriel was a killer host and had the place all ready when I got to SXSW with my team. 

Not only was this a perfect location, but the decor in our pad was killer! Star Wars lego ship on the fridge was our favorite. We wanted to take it home!

We're definitely coming back if Gabriel will have us. So sorry we didn't get to meet him in person. 

Definitely recommend 100% to anyone looking for an amazing place for their Austin stay. "
701032,3814697,2013-03-18,3871427,Allison,Gabriel's place was perfect for our stay in Austin during SXSW!  Everything was ready for us when we arrived.  It's as described - a cozy home - very cute and great decor.  The location is perfect for any outings in Austin.  We enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to stay again in the future!

341596,999661,2012-03-14,595296,Chad,"Can't recommend highly enough! Julie's place is a great location for exploring the great restaurants/shops/nightlife of the South Congress/South First areas, but it's still an easy five-minute bus ride to downtown/the convention center. Julie couldn't have been a nicer, more gracious hostess -- very friendly and full of recommendations about where to eat, shop, and stroll in the neighborhood. Also, Julie's home is really beautiful -- very modern, like a house you'd see in ""Dwell"" magazine, with poured concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and nice outdoor areas to sit with a book, etc. Very private too, if that's your thing -- I basically had half of the house to myself. A very comfortable bed to boot!"

341596,22053719,2014-10-28,1373484,Giselle,"Perfect location, wonderful host, gorgeous house... Recommended wholeheartedly! So fortunate that Julie opens her house to airbnb. Don't hesitate to book this property when visiting Aspen, it's a gem.
"
341596,22369857,2014-11-04,1656581,Jeremy,"My first ever stay through AirBnB could not have been more perfect.
I stayed with Julie in her sytlish ultra modern home in South Austin, which is ideally situated close to the hip and trendy South Congress, or SoCo area. Dotted around the area are a great many restaurants, cafes and bars. Access to the city could not be simpler with the Downtown area an easy hop by bus etc. or even by foot. At least 4 Downtown bound buses run very close by the house. Either the number 1,5,10 or 801 buses will get you downtown within a few minutes. 
Austin city itself has an extraordinary vibe. The size of the city and it’s simple grid pattern make it easy to navigate on foot with the Downtown area offering an astonishing collection of  distinctive bars, restaurants and deli’s etc.
At the Music Capitol of the World head to 6th St or the nearby Warehouse District for your live music fix. Also check out Rainey St with it’s distinctive selection of bars, especially the Container Bar, created out of interconnected stacked shipping containers! Food trucks abound everywhere in Austin offering every mouth-watering culinary creation known to man. Some 1500 of them I believe.
Austin is a very ‘bike friendly’ city. I hired a bike for the week from one of the many bike shops offering rentals and tours. Most routes throughout the city feature bike lanes and the car driving population are seemingly very aware, courteous and used to cyclists along the city streets. 
Austin weather, as they say, is either perfect or hot. Either way, I highly recommend heading down to Barton Springs. A cool spring fed, landscaped natural swimming pool and a hive of happy activity on a gorgeous day. The number 30 bus will take you there. 
Finally, a word about Julie, your wonderful host; I stayed  with Julie for one week and felt like we had been friends for years. A more warm hearted and welcoming host would be hard to find. Julie is a fountain of knowledge concerning all things ‘Austin’ and will help you in any way she can to make your stay as delightful as it can possibly be. 
I will be back in Austin as soon as I can and I will be staying here again (unless you booked it first)
"
341596,22620523,2014-11-10,23154048,Barbara,"Stayed at Julie's place for 2 nights, while attending the Wanderlust Festival in Austin. Julie is very nice and welcoming. The house is beautiful and clean. Very dog friendly, which meant a lot to me, since I traveled with my doggie. The house is located close to a variety of restaurants and food trucks, that you can simply walk to from the house. I will definitely stay there again while traveling to Austin and would recommend to others as well. "
341596,26750535,2015-02-18,3278782,Emma,Julie was a wonderful host. She was so helpful in giving us advice about where to go in town and sharing things to do/see for us first-timers in Austin. The apt. is so cool and perfect for our stay! We would love to come back when we have more time and stay again!
341596,28375812,2015-03-23,2805180,Jan,In a great location Julie is an amazing host. her beautiful home feels like a home away from home

341596,29945234,2015-04-14,27669959,Adam,Julie was a wonderful host and we had a great time at her home.  The amenities we all that we needed and the location was perfect.  The house itself is quite beautiful and relaxing to boot.  Would highly recommend.
341596,30329091,2015-04-20,30307167,Danica,Julie was an excellent host! We loved staying with her and her pup Louie. She was very helpful when it came to providing us with information on the area and tips and tricks to Austin. 
341596,30782068,2015-04-27,1728907,Geri,Julie's home is stunning & very relaxing. It was a perfect place for a female traveling alone to come home too after a long day from a conference.  Julie was lovely and enjoyed our conversations. She helped me get around town & made me feel very welcomed. I will be staying here again next year.  Her dog Louie was a cutie too.
341596,37415771,2015-07-06,14062549,Ana,By far my best experience at airbnb. Julie is a wonderful host and the house is gorgeous: the perfect mix of modern and timeless antiques! We had a great time chatting with Julie. She told us about all the new places to eat - and the locution is so perfect that we basically parked and didm;t have to drive to go anywhere. Her dog Louie is a sweetie!
341596,49761303,2015-10-06,32802674,Jeremy,"Both Julie and Louie were more than welcoming. Julie is obviously heavily invested in being a great host. A breakfast of yogurt and whole grain cereal was ready for us to prepare every morning as well as a pot of coffee. To top things off, the neighborhood is excellently located. Tons of variety for places to drink and eat all within a short walking distance. If walking isn't so much for you, the most I paid to Uber around was under seven dollars.

Next time I stay in Austin, I would be more than willing to stay here again!"
341596,50614551,2015-10-13,7057416,Lee Ann,"We had a wonderful trip for ACL Fest and our stay at Julie's was wonderful. The home is beautiful,  comfortable and spotless. Our host - gracious, considerate and most hospitable. Perfect for a weekend trip to a vibrant, eclectic city. Bonus, of course, was Louie the sweet fluffy pup. Highly recommended."
341596,50833288,2015-10-15,1728907,Geri,This is my second time staying with Julie.  Her home is so warm and lovely and just a perfect location in Austin.  Julie will welcome you with a great smile and make you feel like an old friend.  
341596,51810614,2015-10-24,10273805,Shannon,"Not only is Julie's house incredibly sleek, modern and sexy from an architectural and design standpoint, Julie's hosptitality was one of the best experiences I've had while travelling, airbnb, hotel or otherwise. She consistently went out of her way to make me feel knowledgable about the surrounding area and to make me feel welcome and relaxed during a long stint of back to back travel. 

In addition to being a delightful and interesting conversationalist (and very talented artist!) she's also very aware and accomodating of her guests needs. 

Beautiful decor, healthy gluten-free (if desired) breakfast, luxury toiletries offered, Julie really puts thoughtfulness and kindness in preparing her home for her guests. I'd come out to Austin again just to hang out with her in her inspiring abode. "
341596,52275612,2015-10-27,42706229,Haley,"Julie was an amazing hostess, I couldn't have wished for a better 1st AirBnB experience. Her home is perfectly located to easily access downtown, 35, Lamar & Capital of Tx Fwy. The atmosphere is warm & inviting, eclectic & creative, plus Louis is the sweetest pup.  We had great conversations with Julie and she was a fantastic resource for great dining.  Only downfall was the weekend was too short, but I'll definitely visit again!"
587359,2819837,2012-11-05,1110434,Robert,"Overall my stay was average.  Bed was fine and for my time crucnch and the price it was ok.  I would of liked the kitchen to have been cleaner.  There was a smell of old food, but i didnt really use to place other than to sleep and take a shower.  The host was very nice and commuicated well."

Sandra was really friendly and very accommodating with the key collection time. She was very helpful and quick to reply to our messages. A very positive experience and we would be happy to stay here again if we return to Austin. Thank you Sandra!
587359,7077299,2013-09-05,21916,Russell,We had a great time staying at Sandra's apartment. It is in a great location with gods restaurants and bars close by and downtown a short drive away. Everything was very clean and convenient. Thanks again.
587359,7654454,2013-09-28,614740,Christina,"We used Sandra's place for 5 nights for a friend of ours who was coming to town. It's a perfect little apartment with everything you need and very comfortable to boot. Sandra was awesome with check-in and check-out times, extremely laid-back about everything ,and very prompt at replying to any questions that we had. Her place essentially backs up to the Whip In which is a fun little cafe/brewery with live music. 
"
587359,8695926,2013-11-12,9470399,Joseph,"I'm so late on doing this.  I stayed at Sandra's back in November.  It was a pleasure.  She responded quick, the place was clean, and there is a fantastic little live music and beer bar down the road.  

Most impressive was how fast she saved me and my wife when I locked my self outside her place like an idiot  

Thank you Sandra."

Plus, the bar down the street is KILLER!! Sandra was really amazing about getting back to us in a timely manner (generally in a matter of minutes) and her recommendations were on point! Would definitely stay here again. "
587359,49570589,2015-10-04,21531345,Mary,"Sandra responded quickly to my request which was greatly appreciated.  The location is very convenient to downtown and congress.  The bed was a comfortable queen size.
We were surprised though to see a cockroach in the bathroom sink, dirty dishes in kitchen sink and dishwasher, and trash in kitchen trash can.  The apartment is old and run down but could be improved by just being cleaned."
587359,51370630,2015-10-19,33382576,Johanna,Sandra was very responsive to my email (sometimes within minutes!). The ad description was close to the actual place. It is a very homey place. Neighborhood was really nice and well located
4461416,22348858,2014-11-03,20943581,Douglas,Stewart was very accommodating and helpful.  
4461416,22921569,2014-11-17,23300957,Orlando,Stewart was a very good host. Communication with him was fast and easy. The neighborhood was beautiful along with the apartment and close to everything. I would stay here again on another visit.
4461416,23052787,2014-11-21,18747181,Mandeep,"Excellent neighborhood and awesome unit. One of the nicest ones that I have lived in Austin. Stewart was a great host and made my stay very comfortable. The unit is newly built and has a contemporary look and feel. Did I miss out saying, it was very spacious. Loved it.

4461416,23454894,2014-12-01,6416393,Kay,"The Private South/Central Austin apt is located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood, a short driving distance from Austin attractions. The apartment itself is super clean with modern appliances and appealing interior decorating. The linens and towels are fresh and some toiletries are provided.  Stewart is very welcoming and easy to reach. The apt is above a garage with an outdoor spiral staircase. 
A view of trees can be seen from all the windows.  Three of us had a lovely weekend stay and we would definitely return. "

4461416,23820504,2014-12-11,2960007,Leo,"This is my second review on this home, so that should be enough to share my delightful experience.  What you'll find here guys is basically a brand new, super clean apartment in one of the best areas in Austin. It's very quiet, and the views from the bedroom are very beautiful, especially in the mornings. 

The washer/dryer work very well, the mattresses are very comfortable and there's great water pressure in the shower.  Did I mention that you get Stewart as your host?   He's a very kind and welcoming man that will make sure you enjoy every moment of your stay.

overall score, a perfect 100."
4461416,23949595,2014-12-15,23334071,Blake,Stewart and his wife were very accommodating. The neighbor was excellent and the property was perfect for our stay. Great experience overall.
4461416,24311328,2014-12-25,13110584,Daniel,"Stew was great and timely in all his responses. Very down to earth, helpful, and easy to get along with. The apartment is a private suite above his garage. It has been nicely renovated. Fully stocked kitchen. Lots of privacy. Easy access to all of Austin. "
4461416,24511870,2014-12-29,9153384,Daphne,"Wonderful host,  super quick in responses, very attentive.   Apartment is located in a nice area close to downtown Austin, Parks and South Congress.
Overall a joyful experience.

4461416,24741243,2015-01-02,12759015,Megan,Great place to stay. Stewart was very nice and accommodating and the neighborhood is beautiful! The fold out couch is comfy. I would definitely stay there again!
4461416,25266890,2015-01-11,21619575,Andrew,"I stayed here when I raced the Cyclocross National Championship when it was in town and this place was amazing! Such a great location to everything, Zilker, downtown, food trailer/trucks. The kitchen and all the amenities were perfect. Thanks so much Stewart and Melissa. "
4461416,25366105,2015-01-13,17174554,Paul,"Great space! Clean, modern and comfortable. Quiet side access with off street parking. Definitely will stay here again on my next trip to Austin. "
4461416,25497323,2015-01-18,2930247,Emily,"We didn't get a chance to meet Stewart, but his wife Melissa was very welcoming and check-in was a breeze. The apartment was just as described: it was super-clean and the beds were very comfortable. The washer/dryer also proved convenient, as we experienced a few coffee spills on the plane ride! We had great weather while in Austin and spent quite a bit of time outdoors exploring nearby Zilker Park and the Barton Creek Greenbelt. Overall, a great stay!"
4461416,25619571,2015-01-20,3858523,Laura,"We booked this last minute for a weekend getaway, and I have to say it was part of what made the weekend so wonderful.  Stewart was awesome,  quick to respond to let us know that we had confirmed the place and welcoming. We could not have had a better host, he gave us great information about the area and things to do.  It was exactly as described, the only thing left out of the description was the beautiful view of Barton Springs Creek. He and his wife even left us local beer in the fridge to enjoy. Who gives you access to their netflix account to relax and watch a movie after a long day of adventure:  They do!!! A great place to sit and and have a nice glass of wine and just watch the sun set.  My hope is that that when we return his place will be available. Thanks to you for making it a wonderful part of our weekend"
4461416,25904328,2015-01-29,10675756,Diane,"Stewart met us as we drove into the driveway! We arrived in two cars and he had the space ready for us. We appreciated that Stewart is a hands off host. He gave us a quick yet thorough tour of not just the apartment but also of the property, answered our questions, let us know how we could reach him with other questions and concerns and bid us a good visit to Austin.
The apt is light and airy, roomy enough to allow three adults their own space! Kitchen is well supplied with cookware, dishes and glassware. The entire apt was clean and comfortable.
The location is also a plus. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood yet close to just about everything we wanted to do.
The only thing renters need to be aware of is that they will need to climb a flight of spiral steps. No real problem just keep that in mind when packing."
4461416,26099592,2015-02-03,110572,Peggy,"Stewart's apt. is great for 2 singletons travelling together and, because of the very large futon-like sofa in the living room, I can see it would be good for more. The kitchen is great. We ALMOST wished we wanted to cook, but we were too busy trying out all the food and drink Austin has to offer. The only thing I would say is that the staircase up to the apartment is spiral and might be difficult to navigate if you have a large and/or heavy bag. The place is in a lovely residential neighborhood with food nearby and downtown Austin minutes away. Stewart was very responsive to anything we asked. We met him finally as we were leaving and had a nice chat with him. "
4461416,26301330,2015-02-09,25143955,Katie,"I can only say great things about this rental. It's perfect. Obviously a lot of thought was applied to the renovation process and I loved the finishes of modern blended with mid century modern. The location was perfect for this trip. We were 10 minutes from downtown and I loved hiking the trails behind the house. Stewart was always quick to respond, easy to work with and I would recommend this rental to anyone visiting Austin. "
4461416,26422651,2015-02-12,15490679,Emily,"Stewart was a great host! He was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The apartment was immaculate, with some coffee and little snacks provided, and a very nice TV. The home is in a particularly nice section of the beautiful Barton Hills neighborhood in South Austin, walkable to a few great sites like Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and the Greenbelt, and just a short drive from everything else. Highly recommend staying here or using for out of town visitors like I did!"
4461416,26601654,2015-02-16,25757725,Sheila,"Really great space, and very close to downtown, SoCo (South Congress), etc. Really, all things that I was interested in seeing. Spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. Full kitchen, and everything you need to make meals, if you wanted to. Very quiet, safe neighborhood. I never met Stewart, but he was very accommodating. The only thing I would say is be aware that there is a fairly narrow, spiral staircase up to the apartment. I think these are common in Texas, but when you're carrying a heavy bag, it's a little cumbersome. It's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars, and if I could, I'd give 4.5. Once you get up there, though, it is really fabulous. "
4461416,26807326,2015-02-19,27622976,Julia,"Awesome, awesome and awesome! That's how to describe our experience here. Stewart and Melissa, who we met soon after arrival, were excellent hosts who went above and beyond for us to feel comfortable and at home. The place was absolutely immaculate and beautiful. The kitchen itself was a notch up from our own at home. We brought our 8 month old baby and she was accommodated very well here - it's a great, baby-safe environment. Cannot recommend enough! Hoping to be back one day!"
4461416,26985861,2015-02-23,25855181,Andrea,We had a wonderful time! The place was great! We used Uber a lot to get around which worked out perfectly. Neighborhood is very nice. The weather was great so we were able to take a lot of walks and there are some trails near by too! Would stay here again! 
4461416,27113044,2015-02-25,27905107,Lee,"Stewart was a great host, apartment was clean and well equipped. "
4461416,27185845,2015-02-27,2926130,Heather,"Stewart was very informative and we had no problems getting to and checking in.  We were unable to meet him due to our late work schedule each day, but the guest house was perfect for our needs.  It was clean and had all the amenities for our stay and the neighbor hood was quiet and very nicely situated.  We would recommend and stay again if we are in town again."
4461416,27327447,2015-03-02,26113322,Justry,"Stewart was very nice, and easy to communicate with! We felt very welcomed, and look forward to staying again! The house is beautiful and even more spacious than we thought!"
4461416,27813140,2015-03-12,20711770,Nic,"The house was immaculate, it exceeded my expectations! The beds were very comfortable, the hangers in the closet were extremely useful, having access to Netflix without having to watch it on a small laptop screen was fantastic! Everything we needed was available, and if we felt like we needed something extra we were certain we could run down and ask Stewart for it!"
4461416,27872783,2015-03-14,1530865,Jigar,Stewart and his wife were extremely hospitable and responsive to our needs. The apartment is in a nice quiet area and was extremely clean as well as spacious. We were very happy with our experience. 
4461416,28118283,2015-03-18,3066995,Elizabeth,"Stewart was very helpful and welcoming. While he couldn't be there during our stay, he was super responsive via text and extremely warm. The location is beautiful and worked well for a group of three. It's a scenic walk into downtown (takes about 45 minutes) along the river or a reasonable cab ride. "
4461416,28515675,2015-03-25,15639429,Alexandra,"We spent a happy week here in this excellent apartment in a quiet and charming neighbourhood. We were made very welcome by Stewart who encouraged us to come round to the terrace at the back of the house where we were dumbfounded by the sudden wild landscape and incredible view of the beautiful gorge and river below.
You can walk down to the river, sit on the rocks and swim, all a wonderful haven contrast to the hurly burly of the centre of Austin during SXSW. We had a great time at the music festival and were in an ideal spot for easy access to the centre. There are shops and restaurants nearby and it is an easy run to all the amenities of South Congress.
The apartment is very well appointed, spotlessly clean, everything worked, large fridge, excellent easy washing machine and dryer, coffee filter machine and even coffee in the cupboard. The beds are very comfortable and there is lots of wardrobe space. All in all a very comfortable stay...thank you very much Stewart."
4461416,28687290,2015-03-28,5952150,Jeremy,"This is a wonderful garage apartment located in Barton Hills, overlooking the Austin greenway. It looks recently updated and is a private place to return after a busy work day.  Being a bit out of the way forces you to try some of the options that South Lamar has to offer instead of sticking to the city center and other trendy areas.  I only wish it was warm enough to dip into Barton Springs!"
4461416,28931035,2015-04-01,16627741,Theresa,Perfect hosts. The place was immaculate and the beds were very comfortable. There were three of us and we all took turns sleeping on the futon which was very comfortable! We also got some wiggle room with the checkout time which was much needed and appreciated. I recommend this place without hesitation or reservation. 
4461416,29492052,2015-04-08,11277830,Shelley,The apartment was perfect for the three of us. The home is located in a very safe and beautiful area near the Barton Springs Creek and the apartment was modern and clean with laundy facilities and ample closet space. We used Uber to travel everywhere - otherwise a rental car would have been needed.  We made good use of the Smart TV as well. We only briefly met Stewart and Melissa who were both friendly and helpful. We had a great stay in Austin! Would definitely recommend a visit!
4461416,29629425,2015-04-10,3848533,Melanie,Stewart and his wife were very sweet and kind.  The place was beautiful and clean and the location was amazing.  Their backyard overlooked the creek and their home was very close to the start of the greenbelt trail.   
4461416,29909291,2015-04-14,19690277,Ryan,Stewart's place is an amazing place to stay. It is very clean with modern appliances and the beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood is beautiful and so quiet with lush trees. The backyard overlooks the river and has a wonderful view. We only wish we had more time to explore! Stewart is a great host and always made sure we had what we needed.
4461416,30145185,2015-04-18,3701479,Brooke,"We had a wonderful stay with Stewart and Melissa. The apartment was so comfortable, spacious and meticulous! An absolute highlight is their close proximity to the Green belt where we were able to bask in the sun and splash around in the river. Would absolutely come back!"
4461416,30385810,2015-04-21,27949218,Jessica,"We really enjoyed our first-time stay in Austin! The apartment is in a great residential neighborhood with easy access (maybe a 10 minute drive) to downtown Austin and overlooking Barton Springs, a great swimming area. The accommodations were nice - a newly renovated kitchen and bath. The only negative we found was cleanliness - dirty floors throughout the apt and found hairs, etc in the sink/shower in the bathroom. Overall a positive experience at a good price!"
4461416,30617217,2015-04-25,2260215,Anna,"Perfect accommodations! Looks just like pictures. Super clean, private and comfortable. Super convenient, the location was perfect for us. My husband went on morning runs through Zilker Park and long the river.  Stewart was great host, perfect amount of communication. Had a chance to meet him on our last morning. We would definitely stay here again. "
4461416,30760932,2015-04-27,9077228,Mala,"Pros: Beautiful neighborhood, nicely renovated apartment. Hosts were very nice, we needed to wrap a present for a wedding and they lent us scissors and tape. They allowed us to park in the driveway. The apartment has all the amenties including a washer and dryer. The twin beds were not ideal for my husband and I, so we tried the futon which was not comfortable to sleep on. But that is just a personal preference. The place is great and at a great price.
Cons: The apartment is directly above the garage, so when the garage is opened or closed it is very loud and woke us up. Also there was some miscommunication and I was under the assumption we could stay until 3pm on checkout day as no one was checking in. And then I received a call on the day of checkout asking why all of our stuff was still there at 12:30 and we had to rush back to collect our belongings. Apparently they had rented the place that evening and not informed us. "
4461416,31013490,2015-04-30,31319387,Elizabeth,"My parents and I stayed here recently while we were visiting Austin. It was great for the three of us and so much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. The futon folds down into a comfortable bed, and the kitchen is fully stocked if you wanted to cook. However, there are so many great restaurants close by to try as well - I would recommend El Alma on Barton Springs Road for a great patio!! Be sure to check out the awesome view of Barton creek out back - a hidden gem! Thanks so much for the hospitality, Stewart!"
4461416,31432683,2015-05-05,10753389,Olya,"Fantastic location, 15 min to anywhere fun in Austin! Very quiet place, clean and cozy! Highly recommend!"
4461416,32020723,2015-05-12,32710189,Amandine,"We loved staying at Stewart's apartment. The place was very clean, very nicely set up and with all the commodities you could ask for. The neighbourhood is fantastic, really calm, 15min away from  everything in Austin and in the middle of the green. It was the perfect place to stay for a long week-end in Austin."
4461416,32350903,2015-05-17,2999077,Marcy,"We arrived a little early, but Stewart had the place all ready for us, and he was very responsive the few times we had questions. The apartment is nicely separated from the main house. It was exactly the way it appears in the description--all new, clean and simple.  Very quiet neighborhood with lots of birds. Easy access to the wonderful trails on the creek. "
4461416,32946653,2015-05-23,20693252,Uriel,Amazing location. Walking distance to beautiful green belt and greenery all around.
4461416,33251161,2015-05-26,13285468,Heidi,"Stewart's place in Austin is great.  It is close to town, but quiet and tranquil.  Also, it has street parking  which is a nice plus.  We came and went around Austin and also holed up in the apartment during the torrential rains and big flood of May 2015.  It was also very easy to communicate with Stewart.  "
4461416,33550633,2015-05-29,32220423,Dominic,"Very accommodating. Excellent location. Quick response. We were hours late for check in time, and Stewart was fine with it."
4461416,33804144,2015-06-01,26014328,Gabi,"Stewart's home was very nice and cozy for the three of us! He left any information that we could possibly need on the coffee table. His wife came to greet us and Stewart quickly answered any messages we had for him prior to arrival. 

We thought that the view of Barton Creek Greenbelt could be seen from the apartment above the garage but you actually have to go through his backyard to see the view, which he was more than welcome to let us see! 

I'm not sure if this is policy but I guess the only con would be that we only had one roll of toilet paper in the restroom, then we had to buy some ourselves. I've only stayed in one airbnb before and it was well stocked with toilet paper.

Other than the latter, the stay was absolutely great, couldn't ask for a better location to have a mini getaway for the weekend!"
4025305,20867606,2014-10-06,18195006,Paras,"We had a lovely time staying at Jane's during ACL weekend! Jane made us feel incredibly welcome upon our arrival. The accommodations were super clean, the bed was comfortable, the four of us fit quite comfortably, and the location was (email hidden)uly the perfect home away from home during our weekend retreat to Austin for ACL!

"
4025305,21189302,2014-10-12,22330135,Lisa,"I took my nephew down for his first ACL and we had a wonderful time staying at this house. We walked home from Zilker Park after the shows, which was an added treat. It is also within walking distance to Matt's El Rancho and other great places to eat. The house is very cozy and welcoming. We absolutely loved the cat Zach-he is awesome!  Our hosts were wonderful to deal with and very accommodating to my lack of finishing the transaction correctly. : ) oops. Would totally stay there again-perfect location. "
4025305,49632094,2015-10-05,42039229,Kyle,"Jane was a delight to work with, and was flexible with meeting us and giving us the keys. Great location within walking distance to some of Austin's must-see locations. Less than 2 miles to Zilker park and Barton springs, and an Uber to/from downtown only cost about $7. 

If you are allergic to cats, watching their cat Zac might be an issue. However, Zac is a damn cool cat that required basically 0 maintenance on our part.

We stayed here for ACL and was my first experience with AirBNB; would definitely do it again!"
4025305,50458944,2015-10-12,39968437,Brandon,Jane was very accommodating and the place was great. Location was perfect for us with the park being close and bars/food close by. If you need a place to lay your head while you enjoy Austin then check-in with Jane. Thanks again. 
8287874,49491104,2015-10-04,43713310,Mckinzie,"This townhouse was so great! It was close to Zilker Park in a really cute area. It was very clean and Melissa was extremely accommodating. Along with clean towels, extra toilet paper, water, etc, she left us some cookies, chocolates, and other fun goodies! I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone wanting to visit Austin. "
8287874,50375566,2015-10-11,39956360,Brittany,The apartment was exactly as described. Melissa was very cordial and gave a tour of the apartment before handing over the keys. She even left us champagne and orange juice for mimosas. There was a little bit of dog hair here and there but not enough to bother me. Overall I wouldn't definitely stay here again. Location was great and we were able to use Lyft all weekend to get from place to place. 
8287874,51227802,2015-10-18,13821552,Whitney,"With a welcome message, note, and goodies, we felt very welcome. Convenient location. Clean and cute place. Thanks!"
579270,2569219,2012-10-09,600994,Kiki,"Mocha Jean is a friendly and helpful host--happy to point you in the right direction and offer suggestions of the best eats in Austin. The home itself is so sweet--decorated modernly and quite colorful, plenty of space, nicely equipped kitchen, incredibly comfy bed, and there's even a cute cat to boot! A great location, it's a quick drive or bike ride to downtown and close proximity to anything you might need. I loved my stay and will definitely be back!"
579270,3816219,2013-03-18,1684628,Addison,"Our stay at Mocha Jean's house was wonderful. We we're set up the entire week with everything we needed, including some amazing coffee from a local trader. The house was in biking distance from downtown and close to my favorite part of Austin, East 6th street. Communication and planning beforehand was also really great. I hope we're able to stay again some time!"
579270,11007561,2014-03-17,1311870,Christy,MJ was a great host. Left detailed notes for us during our stay over SXSW and was an excellent communicator. Key exchange easy. Highly recommend!
579270,28212631,2015-03-20,23858180,Giorgos,Hey! The house is fantastic and the location fantastic. Thought i was staying there for ages. Not very central but very Austin.Mj was very discrete. Go for it.
579270,31927520,2015-05-11,14855787,Dan,The reservation was canceled 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
929974,3807573,2013-03-17,5133376,Chris,"Susie was a wonderful host. She made me feel incredibly welcome in her lovely home, and went to extraordinary lengths to make my stay as comfortable as possible, lending me her bike for the short ride to downtown Austin and helping with public transport information etc. As a guest you'll be surrounded by Susie's own beautiful artwork, and doted on by her adorable dog Walter! Your ensuite bedroom is spacious, homely and private, and if you're very lucky you might get to try some of her delicious banana bread! I can thoroughly recommend Susie's Artist Getaway if you're looking for somewhere clean, quiet, comfortable and convenient to stay while you're in Austin."
7614117,47311271,2015-09-17,26163071,Lilay,Jim is so friendly! My parents stayed there for 4 days and absolutely loved their first air bnb experience! The location was perfect: convenient to everything but also quiet. It felt just like home! The house was very clean and Mom didn't want to get out of the jacuzzi. We highly recommend Jim and his beautiful home. Thank you!!! A++
7614117,47896944,2015-09-21,43755320,Maya,We stayed here for a birthday get away. We were greeted by deer as we arrived. Jim was friendly and had books placed around the home for day trips around Austin which was so helpful. He also showed us how to use the hot tub which was perfect to undwind! Over all great location within driving distance of less than 15 min to all the great parts of Austin.
7614117,49286637,2015-10-02,660326,Chanel,"This townhouse is located in a woodsy area, so you are likely to see deer morning and evening. If you are looking for some place quiet to stay, this is it!  At the same time, it is conveniently located near the freeway and close to shopping like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Nordstroms Rack, etc.  

I booked with Jim at the last moment and he was nothing but accommodating. This was a perfect location for me because my conference I was attending was right across the street. 

Jim is very attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns.

I am looking forward to staying again next time I'm in Austin."
7614117,49801688,2015-10-06,43226752,Ann,"Jim was an excellent host and made me feel very welcome.   The home was exactly as described, very clean, warm, and inviting.  The neighborhood was very peaceful and quiet, the bed was perfect, and the room featured darkening shades which made sleeping in wonderful.  And the hot tub--awesome.  I will definitely stay again next time I am in Austin."
7614117,50519165,2015-10-12,44796125,Kevin,I stayed here for a weekend and I could not have asked for a better place. We had some hiccups in traveling there but Jim was very adaptable and understanding to accommodate us. The place itself was in the perfect location- nestled in the quiet hills but still close enough for a trip into the heart of the Austin with ease. Highly recommend Jim and his beautiful place.
7614117,51918011,2015-10-25,2956,Eric & Fifi,"I've had a wonderful stay at Jim's place. It's very quiet. Perfect location for me, everything is nearby and you can reach downtown Austin in 20 minutes. Jim was also available when I needed him. 
I'll come back with pleasure.
A place recommended..."
7614117,52416031,2015-10-29,45014027,Sara,"The listing explains this condo very well, but I was still surprised at how big the space was. The neighborhood was gorgeous, surrounded by trees, and very quiet. It was a great ""get-away"" experience in the middle of Austin. Jim met me and explained how everything in the condo worked, he answered all my questions and my stay felt like home. His rates are so affordable, and I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin! "
3651731,20846524,2014-10-06,20935251,Victor,"Everything on Easy street was like a dream. The pool house in the back where we stayed was clean, beautifully decorated and inviting ! Our fridge was stocked when we arrived and we even had fresh flowers awaiting out arrival. We will definitely come back on our next trip to Austin! "
3651731,21133180,2014-10-12,18952991,Karina,We had a great experience! Page and Cathy were welcoming and helpful. The location was great. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The guesthouse was very cute and clean! We would definitely come back! 
3651731,45049477,2015-08-30,21491147,Oscar,Great Host. They went over and beyond. House and amenities are exceptional and location is perfect for getting away and enjoying Austin. Would love to return. Thanks.
3651731,45890343,2015-09-06,43015786,Lucien,Page and Cathy have an amazing house! They are super sweet and have a cute dog named Bailey. 10/10 would definitely book again. 
3651731,50441965,2015-10-12,17482129,Robert,"What an amazing place!  Not only is the location serene, but Page and his wife were incredibly welcoming.  The first night they invited us to their tailgating event and introduced us to their friends.  I highly recommend the location and the hosts.  "
4118131,28378110,2015-03-23,2316525,Lucas,Amazing location! The apartment is larger than looks like in the pictures. And it's really near downtown and Congress Ave. Very recommended.
968883,21664487,2014-10-21,14089786,Soo,"This space was near perfect for my mother and her elderly partner. They really loved the tranquility and natural setting. We would love to rent this space again and really appreciate that it was just around the corner from our home. The only tiny caveat is that if you have compromised vision or are elderly, the stairs going down to the front door can be a little tricky without a handrail. BUT this was only a very minor issue. Overall, we are very grateful to have such a homey, quiet and clean space available for our out-of-town guests. Thank you Charlotte and Wolf! "
968883,22030525,2014-10-28,1840790,John,This is the place to stay in Austin! Great neighborhood convenient to both South Congress and Downtown. Charlotte and Wolf were gracious hosts. Charming and quiet detached apartment. The Travis Heights neighborhood is great to explore on foot. Charlotte was kind enough to print our concert tix when we did not have a printer. Felt very much at home in the forest. I would highly recommend it.
968883,27866957,2015-03-13,10713227,Bridget,The reservation was canceled 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
968883,47106612,2015-09-15,43370017,Sherry,Very cute place secluded in the woods.  Comfortable and close to a lot of fun places.
968883,47870599,2015-09-21,3084606,Sven,Beautiful place in the center of Austin. Very friendly and hands-off host. The place is a bit smaller then it looks on the photos but that actually increases the charm. 
968883,48028467,2015-09-22,21490928,Erin,"Charlotte was very responsive and easy to coordinate with. Checking in is a breeze with a lock code rather than a key.
The location is very peaceful but still with easy walks to downtown and South Congress. We had everything we needed.

Just a heads up to others that you'll also have to pay an Austin hotel tax and possibly extra for A/C in the summer if you use a lot (we didn't as far as I know).
The house wasn't 100% ready for us when we arrived but nothing that impacted our stay - a great space overall!"
968883,49768323,2015-10-06,10213426,Monica,"Charlotte and her husband were very inviting! The Forest Retreat truly felt like an escape from the city, but just a few minutes from the action. I would certainly stay with them again! Side note: Cell phone reception was extremely limited in the house for some reason. There is Wi-Fi, but very little/no cell reception, especially in the bedroom. "
968883,51773152,2015-10-24,4667142,Jordan,Charlotte met me at the door when I arrived and had a pretty comprehensive guide to her neighborhood and greater Austin. Nice little place.
938082,3776148,2013-03-13,3736873,James,"Good location: Holly's house is about a 7 min walk downhill to the Palmer events centre, and 15min to the Austin Convention centre. Very handy for SXSW etc."
938082,8054173,2013-10-14,312431,Oliver,Holly's home was great for sharing with another couple while attending ACL!  Home was nice and clean (as described).  Holly went to great efforts to make sure we were taken care of.  I would gladly recommend and repeat staying here in the future.
938082,8369587,2013-10-28,7854452,Michelle,Holly was great and the process easy. The house is centrally located to great restaurants and close to downtown. I recommend the house but you can't be allergic to cats. 
938082,10422414,2014-02-18,2715244,Justin,"Holly was a wonderful host!  Our group was in town to run the Austin Marathon.  Holly set out her foam roller and left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate the race.  She was prompt and helpful with all of her communications. 

The house is in a wonderful neighborhood on a quiet street with a great location.  We were able to easily walk to South Congress as well as the Palmer Convention center.  Everything was comfortable, clean and well furnished.  I would definitely stay here again. "
938082,10876411,2014-03-11,1119346,Marshall,"Holly was a fantastic host. Totally professional, had a full fridge and goodies for us upon arrival. Very clear house instructions and a great, centrally-located house. Three of us stayed there for SXSW and had a great time renting bikes and riding back and forth to the convention center. So close to everything. I highly recommend Holly and her house. Enjoy! "
938082,13357772,2014-05-26,3360245,Carol,We LOVED staying in Holly's home - it is not just a house but definitely a home and Holly made us feel right at home. Holly was great - told us lots of good things about the neighborhood and the house itself. She was great!! The house is very warm and instantly feels like home. Would stay here again!!
938082,15356020,2014-07-07,2132297,Jasmina,"This was our first Airbnb experience and it couldn't have gone any better. Holly's communication with us was clear and consistent from my first inquiry. The house was loaded with character and within a mile of all the places I wanted to visit. It definitely added to the Austin experience I was seeking. Just as importantly, the house was spotless when we arrived and we were greeted with a starter set of provisions (bottles of water, bagels and cream cheese, etc), which was SO nice given our late night arrival. "
938082,22303298,2014-11-03,12805212,Daniel,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great from the start of the process to the end. Holly's was prompt in responding to any queries and proactively sent us directions and local recommendations which all enhanced our visit. The house was amazing, newly renovated and comfortable with two showers and 3 bedrooms exactly as advertised. Holly kindly supplied us with bottles of water, bagels and cream cheese among other things to help us get started as we found our way around the neighborhood.  I could not recommend this host and property highly enough and if and when I get back to Austin I hope that Holly will have us back again. "
938082,25929142,2015-01-30,9719328,Mans,"Holly's place was great. Quiet neighborhood, but still close to downtown and congress and everything else. Extremely well equipped house.  All the communication with the owner went smoothly. Highly recommended!


"
938082,28068590,2015-03-17,14811172,David,"Holly couldn't have been more accommodating. She greeted us with a huge smile right from the beginning. I appreciate that she showed us all around her place, and even gave us some treats for the few days we stayed here.  I'd absolutely recommend that my friends stay here. The place was clean, came with everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was in a nice convenient location. She couldn't have been a better host. "
938082,37302688,2015-07-06,2582867,Jessica,"We enjoyed our stay in Holly's home.  It was cute, roomy and in a great location.  Communication with Holly was easy and efficient throughout.     She left us directions, helpful hints and bottled water to enjoy, which was needed in the heat that we were not used to. :)
Overall a great stay at her house.

In addition it had little extra decorative touches you would not normally expect.  I was like staying in a five star hotel with a great deal more privacy.  It even had an outdoor bar-b-cue,  we used the porch often.  The neighborhood was very safe and quiet.  We went for a run one morning and found the neighborhood a very friendly place to be.  Overall we were both extremely impressed and would definitely stay there again.

The attention to detail and the little extra decorative amenities made us feel as if we were in our own home."
3810677,21668477,2014-10-21,16070062,Heather,"Erica was a lovely host, she checked in on us and provided everything we needed.  We had an amazing stay here, and it was perfect for our family.  Our small children were able to nap in pack n plays in the back laundry room while we relaxed in the comfy living room and watched TV.  There was a park nearby and breakfast tacos within walking distance, and my sister in law's wedding venue was just down the street, so we were able to go to the wedding, head back for a quick nap with the kids, and then go back to the party.  The house was clean, had everything we needed.  Perfect stay.  Thank you!"
4243715,49478370,2015-10-04,25615720,Nels,"We had an excellent stay! Steve and Amanda were wonderful hosts. They made us feel at home and we really enjoyed them both. We borrowed 2 very nice bicycles from them and toured all around Austin. It was so nice to stay in a cozy, friendly neighborhood and have only a short bike ride to S. Congress, Barton Springs, Waterloo records, etc. they have 2 great dogs who are total goofballs and fun to play with if you want to but leave you alone if you don't. We were in town for ACL and would highly recommend this as the perfect place to stay for the festival."

We do a lot of visiting and know the neighborhoods well. For price, location, tranquility, this little bungalow can't be beat. Regina's place was also thoughtfully furnished--down to the extra toothbrush we never thought we were actually going to need, and then did--and it's a testament to her and her place that we felt right back at home during our stay. This one is a gem. Thanks, Regina!"
6287793,41400343,2015-08-07,10444869,Markus,"Regina was the perfect host, and the unit was exactly as advertised. She was available whenever we needed her, but never came or sent anyone by unannounced. This was highly appreciated because it let us feel entirely at home. Not only that: Regina added thoughtful little touches like a bottle of wine to welcome us, was flexible about us extending our stay, and went out of her way to help us when she learned that we were thinking of moving to Austin and commencing a search for a home. 

The home itself was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and had every convenience we could ask for. Furniture and appliances are of high quality. It's also nestled in a tranquil oasis of a neighborhood with big trees, nice neighbors and very little traffic, which we got to enjoy daily from the side patio. All of which led us to extend our stay.

My wife and I recommend this apartment to travelers without reservation."
6287793,45960811,2015-09-07,10444869,Markus,Outstanding--see our previous review.
6287793,50636177,2015-10-13,3327411,John,"Regina was a wonderful hostess. Her home was comfortable and clean. The neighborhood was peaceful, quiet and convenient to get to and from downtown.  It was well furnished with utensils, comfortable furniture and a nice selection of coffee, juice, muffins and eggs for breakfast.  We enjoyed the little side patio for enjoying our morning coffee or hosting some friends in the evening.  It was the perfect place for visiting our children that live in Austin but then having our own space to come home to relax and unwind."
6287793,51918184,2015-10-25,15145371,Brearley,"Regina was the perfect host, complete with a welcoming bottle of wine and chocolate! The listing was exactly as described- spotless and quiet. The location is perfect, in walking distance to lots of cute cafes and restaurants. and convenient access to UT and downtown. This home is an excellent value and highly recommended to anyone visiting Austin!"
6287793,52778132,2015-11-01,6453916,Heather,"Regina has a great little apartment in a terrific neighborhood. The guest cottage has everything you would need for a short or long stay. The kitchen was fully equipped and the fridge had wonderful fresh OJ and eggs. Regina also left a local bottle of wine. Everything was neat, clean and tastefully done. It's in a pretty neighborhood with good places to eat within walking distance as well as a lovely park nearby. Regina and her family were friendly and attentive making sure we had everything we needed when we were deluged with rain. Highly recommended!"

2979222,14393384,2014-06-18,7179813,Kyle,"The Suite was great; spacious, comfortable, and centrally located. Ryan was responsive to any queries or issues we had, overall it was a good stay."
2979222,18308353,2014-08-25,5513524,Michael,Ryan's condo was great for our group.  It was a perfect central location and very easy to get around the city.  The pictures show the place exactly.  Ryan was very helpful and checked in with us multiple times throughout our stay.

2979222,21942286,2014-10-27,7931127,Inna,"Amazing location, really the perfect base from which to explore all that Austin has to offer! We were walking distance to all bars, restaurants, boutiques and cultural destinations, which made for a very easy and flexible stay. Terrific for a group that wants to experience all that Austin has to offer. The cafe inside the yoga studio across the street makes fantastic organic smoothies and bowls, highly recommend. This condo was absolutely perfect for our stay. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and fulfilled our every request."
2979222,22578904,2014-11-10,19698962,Ken,"Everything about this place was great! Clean, centrally located and an overall awesome pad. Easy walks to both Rainey and 6th street. An email was sent a few days prior with information regarding amenities, host/manager contact info and local places to eat, drink, shop, etc. They even gave advice on the most cost effective ways to reach the condo.

We landed sooner than expected and were able to get an early check in. If I go to Austin again, this place is a no-brainer. I highly recommend it."
2979222,23696412,2014-12-08,595311,Andrew,"Great location.  Home was very nice.  Directions for occupying it were very explicit, and the weekend went very smoothly.  Thanks, Ryan!"
2979222,24204075,2014-12-22,5797357,Chris,"Ryan was a fantastic host. The apartment was as described, pictures accurate and spotlessly clean. 

The location was great and it was only 5 minutes to all the major sights. Would certainly recommend Ryan's apartment to anyone wanting to stay in Austin and would not hesitate to stay here again. 

Thank you Ryan for your great hospitality! "
2979222,25013261,2015-01-05,9691937,Anthony,"Great location, lots of space, easy check in and out. Excellent for a medium sized group. Would definitely recommend to friends."
2979222,26213767,2015-02-07,25653391,Stephen,Great welcome packet explained the property and nearby activities.  Condo was well kept with nice furnishings.  This was my first experience with airbnb and it was a great one. 
2979222,27423566,2015-03-04,9118377,Dana,"Awesome location. Easy access. Clean, clean, clean. Someone is always available to help you. We did notice the noise but we expected that a bit, being downtown. Limited kitchen supplies, but we did fine. We had a group of 7 ladies and we would all stay there again and recommend it.  Great decor."
2979222,27527706,2015-03-07,1520390,Katie,"The condo was great - a cool, unique space very close to the convention center/downtown, and perfect for everything we needed. There was enough space to spread out, but cozy enough for some intimacy. We also LOVED having the fireplace since it was a cold week in Austin. Would definitely recommend + book again the next time we're in Austin! 

"
2979222,27640090,2015-03-09,23675574,Robert,"We had a great time at the Rock Royalty. There was plenty of space for our party of 9. The unit was exactly as described & looked great inside. The onsite staff was very helpful. Perfect location only 2 short blocks from all the action. The courtyard can be noisy outside, so not a good place for families, but we loved our time here. "
2979222,29277122,2015-04-06,21804406,David,The Rock Royalty is in the perfect location to enjoy everything that Austin has to offer. Everything was as expected for me and my friends - it very comfortably hosted a large group. Ryan provided an extensive email in advance with lots of information about the property and suggestions for all kinds of things in Austin. He was also very responsive. We had a great stay.
2979222,29814344,2015-04-13,18140749,Catherine,The rock royalty suite was really nice! There were 7 of us in the unit and we had a wonderful time. It is walking distance from everything! It rained one morning so it was amazing to have this big place for all of to hang out! 
2979222,30149323,2015-04-18,23387829,Auroni,Great experience. Room was phenomenal. Ryan and co were very helpful
2979222,30441505,2015-04-22,26329834,Alan,"9 of us stayed in the Rock Royalty (5 adults, 4 kids).  We were very comfortable.  Pictures on website are very accurate.  Great details in decor.  The 4 kids stayed upstairs in the loft and the 5 adults were split between the 3 bedrooms.  The condo is in a great location!  We walked to the Capitol, local restaurants, Mexic-Arte Museum and So Congress bridge to watch the bats.  There is a great breakfast/healthy snack place across the street (Blenders and Bowls) along with Taco Shack and Starbucks.  There is a great grocery store (Royal Blue) directly behind the condo which came in very handy for food and drink.  We rented cars to visit places further away (Graffiti park, UT, Mount Bonnell, So Congress Street shopping, and the Salt Lick).  Jared was fantastic in offering a second parking space for us since we had 2 cars.  Jared/Thomas/Ryan were very responsive to all correspondence.  Highly recommended! PS - if you like to run, great trails right around the corner.  If too dark to run along the river, Congress St. (either north or south) makes for a nice run also."
2979222,33225615,2015-05-26,26873499,Ashley,Overall me and my group had an excellent experience. The host(s) were more than willing to help accommodate us with any needs during our stay. The unit was exactly as described. We had a great time!
2979222,33470036,2015-05-28,33599808,James,"Fantastic. Everything was as described and the location is hard to beat. Ryan and his team were more than courteous and helpful before, during, and after our stay. Highly recommend."
2979222,33766678,2015-06-01,14910152,Blake,Ryan was a great host. The place was described perfectly. Any issues we ran into he responded quickly and was willing to help. Definitely recommend him for future stays in Austin!
2979222,35078810,2015-06-15,30098004,Dan,"Ryan was a fantastic host and a pleasure to deal with. The house was perfect for our group of 8 and Ryan made sure to stock the house with food and drinks before we even got there. Anyone coming to Austin should definitely contact him and rent his houses as they are clean, spacious, and within a 2 minute walk of everything going on in downtown Austin. I'm giving Ryan and his properties a 10/10!"
2979222,36195042,2015-06-26,33682730,Shawn,"Great place to stay, and worked out well for our group.  The numbering in the complex is a bit different, so we hunted a bit to find the apartment.  Facilities were great, and location to downtown and our conference site was excellent."
2979222,38099927,2015-07-13,8751247,Joey,"I stayed at the Downtown Rock Royalty Hotel and it was a fantastic place! The directions were easy to follow and the location was superb. We were close to 6th street and a quick Uber ride to wherever else we wanted to go. I had 12 people including myself and the AirBnb said that it slept 12 people and it was very tight. We also thought that there would be more beds and bathrooms. But I guess for two nights that you could put up with anything. There was more than enough space with the loft that everyone wasn't on top of eachother but I would say for the next time, it would sleep 10, not any more than that. But Ryan was great and very communicative. Austin, itself, was an amazing place and it was one of the best weekends!"
2979222,38983594,2015-07-20,8839140,Kelly,"this apartment is in a great location, very central.  ryan was a great host.  we had a couple minor issues when we first arrived and he was on it instantly.  he was very eager to ensure our stay was perfect, providing recommendations for restaurants, markets, how to spend our time in austin.  it was a great place to getaway w/ several friends for a long weekend."
2979222,40900172,2015-08-03,14636786,Max,We had an absolutely amazing time and this place was an ideal location for exploring the food and nightlife scene in Austin. Ryan answered all emails and questions promptly.

2979222,45126872,2015-08-31,5383622,Akshay,Ryan was an easy person to work with and the room was in great condition. The apartment is located very close to 6th street / rainy street. Would stay there agin! 
2979222,46117079,2015-09-08,10948752,Cari,"Ryan was very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.  We stayed in the rock royalty condo for a bachelorette party of 8 girls and it was perfect!  Couldn't ask for a better location downtown, walking distance to tons of bars and restaurants on 6th and Congress or everything else just a short Uber.  We had a blast and loved the property.  It was spacious for all of us and included everything you need.  I would definitely recommend this condo for a group trip!"
2979222,46859147,2015-09-14,29539761,John,We had a great experience at the Rock Royalty Austin.  We visited for an 8 person bachelor party. The location was perfect (about a block from 6th) and central to all the hotspots.  The accomodations were great.  We essentially just showed up and had what we needed.  Our hosts were very attentive to any questions during our stay but also very respectful of our privacy.  Thanks for an awesome time!
2979222,48692459,2015-09-28,135952,Sameer,"Was super easy and convenient to get into the apartment and arrive early. We had no issues at the place, would definitely stay again if in town!"
2979222,50441989,2015-10-12,39170484,Page,Very accommodating and welcome! Rock Royalty was in a perfect location downtown. Highly recommend. 
2979222,51151227,2015-10-18,22648845,Håkon,"Very nice and clean with the biggest bed in Austin. Excellent location, short walk to good, live music and to conference venue. We experienced low wifi signals, but it was fixed shortly after we noticed the landlord. Recommend this place for a large group."
2979222,51695358,2015-10-24,34086155,Brian,"The instruction in the email were very good.  Everything we needed was there.  Contact phone numbers , codes to everything (except the swimming pool) we figured it out ourselves.  Very nice facility."
2979222,52823082,2015-11-02,28008356,James,"Place was great for a large group and so close to 6th St making it really easy to go out and grab drinks or food. The location is amazing. 

Ryan was very helpful. Had a question on the first day and he called back immediately to help and provide additional things to help make our stay even better.  

Only negative thing I would mention is the wifi is communal so is a bit slow, but it's useable with some patience. "

5576522,38728296,2015-07-18,27005359,Amy,"Jess was great - very welcoming, and she went through a lot of trouble to make the apartment comfortable for me! The apartment is tiny, but absolutely perfect for one person. Jess lives there, but she stayed with friends so that I could have the entire place. The walls are thick, so you barely notice the neighbors (MUCH better than staying in a hotel). The location is great - there are tons of bars, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Torchy's Tacos, Lucy's Fried Chicken, Republic of Sandwich, Little Woodrows and Amy's Ice Cream are all within a few minutes walk, just to name a few. I can't say enough good things about the location - it was perfect! Parts of the neighborhood are a little sketchy, but I never had any trouble walking alone after dark. If you want to get to downtown, though, you will need a car. The only negatives for me were the bed was a little firm (I'm spoiled with a super fancy Tempurpedic at home, so any other bed pales in comparison), and there was a cockroach problem caused by the neighbors when I first got there. Jess was great about coming over to take care of the critters, and by the time I left it was all cleared up. Other than that, I had a great experience and I highly recommend Jess as a super mellow, super friendly host."
5576522,41847604,2015-08-09,39637677,Franny,"Every interaction with Jessica was great. She was very descriptive and friendly in her messages, and left helpful post it notes around the house, which made it easy to quickly adapt as if it were home. The apartment was so adorable and hipster. Jessica even has a squatty potty which was honestly very fun to use! Jessica provided us with soap, shampoo and conditioner, and fresh towels. Couldn't ask for a better host! The apartment was nice and clean. Other than the two small bugs that showed up after almost an entire week of being there, the experience was delightful. There are also nice shady parking spots to keep your car cool in the summer. The location was spectacular. Very close to great spots that most tourists would probably hit up. A+! Would recommend to a friend!"
5576522,44327464,2015-08-25,4501009,Jessica,"Jessica's apartment is comfortable and well kept. If you're looking for a full-amenity (AC, kitchen, bathroom, internet) apartment, this place is for you. While on the north side of Austin, I was never more than a $20 Lyft or cab ride to downtown. I was able to rent a bike from a nearby bike shop (Ozone) and get around very easily! But there are plenty of new and delicious restaurants and bars much much closer that keep you out of the hustle of college kids. Jessica is also very easy to communicate with and reach while she stays somewhere else, and makes herself available to you should you need. "
5576522,45332918,2015-09-01,5898535,Leah,"We relaxed to the max at Jessica's apartment. Both her bed and futon are super comfortable, and although the space is small, it has everything - adorb kitchen (coffeemaker, etc), bathroom with fresh towels, air conditioning, and TV. Great location, very walkable, and about 15 minutes to downtown by car. We had tacos from a truck called Tacos Guerrero while in Austin and I will literally never stop thinking about them.

We never met Jessica in person, but she was very accessible by text and left a ton of helpful post it notes at the apartment. Thanks for the fun stay!!"
5576522,46035731,2015-09-07,42324333,Patrick,"Jessica was a very accommodating host. She was welcoming and a great resource for all things Austin. The apartment was clean and quiet - a nice home base after a long day of activities. The apartment was a little further out of the city than we were expecting but as long as you have a car, it's not a problem. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. "
5576522,49581653,2015-10-05,44471853,Cemre,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5837822,38025305,2015-07-12,2383427,Sam,"House looks exactly as described, perfect for a guys' weekend in Austin! Location was super close to Rainey St. and only a short walk away from Sixth St. Definitely recommended!"
5837822,39430989,2015-07-23,23502858,Alex,"This place is pretty unbelievable. I stayed here with my family and had plenty of room and a millions beds to choose from (my 5 year old niece loved it!). It's a obviously the perfect place for a big group to make homebase for a few nights of Austin partying, but it suited out needs too. 

Everything was clean, the beds are comfy, and the place is full of stuff to do. The pictures are a great reflection of the house and Jason was very helpful and easy to reach when I needed him. 

The only negative was that kitchen wasn't super stocked for cooking and the towels were definitely less than plush, so I'd say as long as you brought some towels and some cooking essentials (if you plan on cooking) you should an AMAZING time at this house.

Would definitely recommend!"
5837822,41827729,2015-08-09,1454553,Porter,"Amazing spot that was perfect for our trip. Nine of us stayed for a long weekend getaway and the house had everything we needed and then some. Excellent location, plenty of beds, nice bathrooms, and tons of entertainment options like ping pong, foosball, and lawn games. It is walking distance to Rainey and east sixth and a quick cab ride everywhere else. 

Initially, the stringent house rules filled was somewhat off-putting. However, once we stayed it was understandable. The house is in a great neighborhood, and setup to host a lot of people looking to have a good time. It is definitely understandable to want to protect the house and neighborhood. 

In the end, we had a great time and are really happy we found this place. The owner was prompt, courteous, and very friendly. "
5837822,43560981,2015-08-20,6526446,Michelle,"I stayed with my 5 year old son, and he loved the house! I guess I should have put a little more research time into Austin's neighborhoods, because it was a bit of a drive to get to kid friendly activities. Although, just 2 blocks from the house there is a great park, and about 4 blocks away is an awesome coffee shop and juice joint, that made our whole trip worth while ;)
The house may be best suited for a younger, hipper crowd because the rainy street district would have been awesome, 10 years ago."
5837822,44500909,2015-08-26,3213942,Andy,"Booked this place last minute.... And couldn't have been happier. The location was great, definitely walkable to and from many bars and restaurants. The house itself was large and could definitely fit a few more than the 3 of us! We did not take advantage of the full kitchen, but with a longer stay, it would definitely have came in handy.  I would definitely look to book this place again..."
5837822,46879717,2015-09-14,27317779,Kyle,"We had a great experience with this listing from start to finish. The location of this place could not have been better (we walked everywhere) and the house itself is clean, accommodating, and very fun - NFL Blitz arcade game never hurts! Ideal for a group +6

This place is perfect for a group looking to enjoy the city. 

Jason and his team were great hosts and did a great job of answering my questions and making sure my group was taken care of. 5 Stars without a doubt. "
5837822,48296942,2015-09-25,286392,David,The host definitely made us feel welcome and the place was clean and beautiful as expected. 
5837822,48540591,2015-09-27,3160293,Adrian,Great place for a group weekend away! Jason was very professional. The house is easy to get to from the airport and close to all the fun stuff in Austin. Lots of beds - no one felt crowded or compromised!
5837822,49915448,2015-10-07,933086,Ron,"Communication was fast and intensely detailed, which I always love. The house was exactly as advertised (though the dishwasher was broken, not a big deal for me), from the bedrooms to the stocked kitchen to the neighborhood, which is charming and central. One note for groups: The neighbors are really sensitive to noise, and the whole short-term rental thing is controversial in the city right now. Be conscientious. The whole Airbnb system only works if we are quiet when we are in residence on somebody else's turf. "
5837822,51649799,2015-10-22,3679368,Sylvie,"The host was responsive and professional throughout all communication, with very clear expectations and guidelines, which I like. The place itself was clean and comfortable, as pictured, and the neighbourhood was lovely. Close to a cute coffee shop (Cenote) with great coffee and patio, as well as La Barbecue for some amazing brisket. Overall, really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back. :)
"
5837822,52679117,2015-11-01,18120346,Tony,"This place is perfect in almost every way! First off, the house is spacious with plenty of beds to choose from and everything you would need or want in a house. There were 8 of us staying and we could've easily had a few more stay comfortably. We didn't make it outside as much as we wanted because of some rain, but we didn't mind just having fun inside the house. The kitchen and appliances were nice and there were a lot of little extras left around for our use, like board games, ping pong table, blue tooth speaker, etc. Beds were nice and comfy and we had plenty of towels. There was also a washing and drying machine that we took advantage of. 

The house is amazing, but the location might be even better. 10 minute walk to Rainey and about 20 minute walk to 6th Street. Ubers were super cheap in the area too, we couldn't believe it (used to San Francisco prices). Also, it's a 10 minute walk to this amazing BBQ spot called La Barbecue. It was the best brisket I've had in my life. 

The rules may look extensive, but they are for good reason. This area seems to take short-term rentals pretty seriously so just be mindful of this when visiting. Can't make much noise at night but as long as your inside, the place is pretty much soundproof. Most of the neighbors that we interacted with were very nice but there was one specific neighbor who seemed to be a little nosy. But it was fine; just be respectful and there shouldn't be a problem. 

All in all, one of my best Airbnb experiences!"

This newly remodeled home is conveniently located near 1st St. in South Austin, and is a short drive to downtown. We enjoyed the workspace with wifi, full kitchen, and open living area overlooking the front yard.  Bob made communication and travel logistics easy so I would not hesitate to stay here again."
4129565,23950400,2014-12-15,688518,Beth Wagner,"Bob and Pam's Bungalow is great! 
Very convenient to downtown Austin, 1st St. and Congress. It has easy access to I-35 although we usually took surface streets unless we were going some distance.
It is perfect for 2 couples. Bedrooms and baths are separated by the common areas of the house. 
The king size bedroom has a shower bath which is private as it is in the master suite. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed and a full bath. This bathroom has 2 doors, one that opens to the bedroom and one that opens to the common area.
There is a wonderful workspace with a full length deskalong the wall that sits under a big window. Lots of light and space.
There is an enormous amount of storage space throughout as well as a high-efficiency stackable washer and dryer.
The kitchen is very modern, new, and stylish. We were 2 couples traveling to Austin for a friend's daughter's wedding. One of our traveling companions was making the wedding cake and had a great space to work in.
The keyless entry was great. No fumbling for a key or swapping the key if we were going different places.
The beds were very comfortable, with high-count cotton sheets, snuggly blankets and quilt toppers. 4 pillows were available for each bed.
The bunglow sits back from the street with a nice garden between it and the street. There is a deck with chairs that runs much of the width of the house. Had the weather been a touch warmer we probably have used it more.
The common area that includes the kitchen, a large table that seats 4 easily and living room (sofa, 2 chairs and TV) has a wall of sliding doors that look out on the deck and yard. Sheer curtains cover the doors and provide privacy as well as lots of light. 
The whole bungalow has an abundance of windows all have privacy shades except for the sheers mentioned above covering the glass sliding doors.
Bob and Pam provided directions to the location of our wedding and kept touch with us through our visit as needed.
The only negative I have to offer is that many of the shelves and cabinets were very high and being 5'2"" I had trouble reaching the 2nd shelves in the kitchen and bathroom. There was a small step stool provided however and everyone that I was traveling with was at least 7"" taller then me. So between the step stopl and my tall companions I did OK.
Bob and Pam's bungalow is a gem and if we ever go back to Austin for a visit it will be on the top of our list of where to stay."
4129565,27997430,2015-03-16,6851047,Michael,"If I had to vote for the great AirBnB hosts of the year, Pam and Bob would have my vote :-) They are charming & very helpful. We exchanged emails before I arrived in Austin, TX for SXSW! They gave me information to visit, to go out...

The house is great. Very nice, spacious, well equipped, quiet, with a terrace and a garden. It is so close to the 1st Street and the famous South Congress (SOCO) district. It's such a great tip on Austin, TX!

Back in Paris, I already miss their home. I hope to return one day."
4129565,44197900,2015-08-24,34673317,Leslie,"Beautiful, spacious house. We loved our stay and didn't want to leave"
4129565,45261753,2015-09-01,37180946,Tony,"We had an awesome time at this modern bungalow. Very conveniently located, very nicely furnished, and well stocked with amenities. Perfect for our long weekend in Austin. "
4129565,45982645,2015-09-07,40241594,Corey,"My wife and I brought her little sister to Austin to show her the sights and the town because she hopes to attend UT next year. We found the perfect house centrally located to everything we needed. It was a wonderful experience. Every amenity you'd need for a weekend getaway or an extended trip. We cooked a great dinner in their fabulous kitchen the night before our departure, and sat on the porch with a drink and a dear friend of mine who also lives and works in Austin. Such a great weekend I didn't want to leave! Bob and Pam were wonderful, and you'd love their perfect little home right in the heart of Austin. "
4129565,52452344,2015-10-29,6990544,Francis,"This was a great place to stay- modern, clean, with all the essentials needed. Also convenient to check in/out with keycodes, no worrying about coordinating key pickups or drop offs."
5490814,28268150,2015-03-21,20761949,Jack,I had an extremely comfortable stay at Bronwyn's. Her place has a tranquil and welcoming atmosphere that makes spending time there very easy. She and her roommate were kind and helpful before and during the stay. I can only give my highest recommendations!
5729593,38959180,2015-07-19,5300070,Katherine & Justin,"Jay helped us with a same-day rental and was incredibly responsive and helpful. The ""Garner Hideout"" was cozy and had all the amenities we needed while repairs where taking place in our house 2 blocks away. Access to the rental was easy and Jay was helpful throughout the whole process."
3312792,20793092,2014-10-05,18890819,Fatimeh,"Duane was an incredible host! He was very friendly and easy to feel comfortable with from the start. He gave us so much information about the area, and he even left a pamphlet on the table with more information (that came in super handy). The apartment was beautiful! Exactly how it looks in the photos to the dot. The bed was super comfortable, after we came in from our long days the bed felt so perfect. The apartment had everything you need, and it really felt like home. What I loved the most though was the area, the apartment is in a huge shopping area, where we could walk right downstairs and get Starbucks and then walk around with literally any store we wanted right around us. There's a whole foods within walking distance, too. All in all our stay at this apartment couldn't have been better! The complex and neighborhood are really really gorgeous. I just remembered walking around and saying ""wow"" at everything. I just wish we got to stay longer so we could've really taken advantage of all of the apartment and all of the amazing places right around us."
3312792,21061195,2014-10-10,21818646,Chuck,Great unit.  The Domains is an interesting shopping and eating mecca.  Easy parking.  Easy access.  And the workout room was a nice feature.  I was arriving very late from the airport and the host was very accommodating on getting me in the unit and orientated.  Thanks for the extra effort.  It really made a big difference after a long travel day.  Highly recommend it.
3312792,21158107,2014-10-12,17203366,Crystal,"We enjoyed our stay at Duanes home, loved being so close to the shopping center! Duane was very nice and accommodating. Made us feel right at home. I would definitely recommend staying at his location! "
3312792,21540330,2014-10-19,9145993,Jay,Fantastic apartment and great location.  Duane was extremely helpful throughout the entire stay. Would highly recommend this place. 
3312792,21967870,2014-10-27,3795055,Guillermo,"This place is great! Duane was very easy to communicate with before arriving and also towards checkout time. Having access to private parking worked out great for us. I can't emphasize enough how convenient this place is. It's proximity to places like Top Golf, Whole Foods and Cru (for wine and pizza) is amazing. 

The apartment itself is as described, everything you will ever need. I also liked that we could sign in to his video device using our Netflix account, very convenient. And even though the apt is not close to downtown, with the new 803 MetroRapid bus that departs just 5 mins away, we were in downtown in 30 minutes and did not have to worry about parking. Thanks Duane!"
3312792,22476119,2014-11-07,21340761,Deborah,"The apartment was very comfortable with everything I needed during my stay, loved having the washer/dryer and secured parking. I took full advantage of being in the middle of a lovely outdoor mall with shops, restaurants, Starbucks and Whole Foods. 24 hour fitness, where I have a membership, was only a few minutes away. Duane is a genuinely nice guy, very accessible and responsive,  texting me periodically to see if I needed anything. I got sick for a  couple of days and he dropped off some extra blankets almost immediately. He was the perfect combination of giving his guest privacy and being available to see that they have every everything they need.  Downtown and everything one comes to Austin for is about a 15-20 minute drive,  with the freeway literally next to the complex. I would warn you though,  that if you are coming for business and need to drive into downtown during commuter hours,  the traffic can be horrendous."
3312792,22738757,2014-11-13,5630487,Rachel,"I really enjoyed my stay! The apartment is just as pictured - comfortable and clean, with no surprises. The bed was unbelievably comfortable. (I mean, whatever kind of mattress that is, I want one!) It was a nice bonus that I was able to use my Netflix and Hulu accounts on the tv while I was there. The area is lovely, with lots of stores, restaurants, and cafes around. On the day I arrived, there was live jazz being played across the street! I felt safe in the apartment and the neighborhood, and would absolutely stay again if I travel to Austin in the future."
3312792,23041399,2014-11-21,17377436,Ben,"Duane was extremely helpful in booking his property, including adjusting the availability to make the dates work for my travel. He met me near the property to give me a tour and orientation on the property. The home was comfortable and convenient, including a full kitchen and TV. I will definitely stay here again in the future."
3312792,23087342,2014-11-22,4565052,Laura,Our host made us feel very welcomed! Other than checking in a little later than expected the place was very comfortable. We especially liked walking in the soft rain to Wholefoods to bring back breakfast. Very pleasant! 
3312792,23229378,2014-11-25,23916446,Dilyan,Host was excellent. Duane maintained constant communication and made sure that everything went smoothly. The apartment was very clean and nice and it was quiet at night. Located right in the Domain with easy access to everything.  I highly recommend this place.
3312792,23557893,2014-12-04,16399113,Nathan,Duane was a great host.  He definitely wanted to make sure that my stay in Austin was great.  Anyone visiting Austin should stay here.
3312792,23666767,2014-12-07,24406513,Anam,"Very comfy, clean apartment. Loved our stay there!"
3312792,24377927,2014-12-27,17883767,Janice,"Great location, friendly and generous host! Cozy accommodations. 
Duane was a wonderful host. He was so kind to offer us early arrival a night before for the holidays! He was patient enough with us since the day of arrival, our ETA kept changing. We didn't get there until about 11pm. He was still friendly and generous enough to give us a quick orientation showing us the apartment, how to use the smart tv and our amenities. 
Location: everything within walking distance if needed! Brand new large Whole foods, shopping (Neiman Marcus, LV, Apple, Lululemon, VS, Sur La Table, and soooo many more)
Food/Bars: we didn't eat anywhere in the Domain because I had local joints I wanted to try out but there are many wine bars and bar/lounges within walking distance. 
My husband especially enjoyed Punch Bowl Social for all the darts, ping pong, shuffleboard, pool, bowling, arcade games, all the drinks, DJ, diverse crowd (20's & 30's mostly) and being able to walk home afterward. 
Recommend walking the area at night to see all the lights and live music or bands playing in the center on weekends. 

Bed is a very plushy, soft mattress. You'll sink in...great for some, not so great for others. Whatever your preference. 

Wifi, Amazon prime were all provided. Plenty of towels & a hairdryer. Bring your own toiletries. 

We really enjoyed our time in Austin for the holidays, thanks to Duane's apartment location. My favorite sushi is just up the road at Musashino. 

The Barton Creek Greenbelt is not a far drive (15-20 mins). Dog-friendly. Scenic, small hike. 

Many nearby yoga studio options. We took advantage of Corepower Yoga's free week for new students. Yoga Con Amor also has $10 classes. 

I could go on but I'll stop here. Thank you so much Duane! We had a lovely time. :)

3312792,24698037,2015-01-01,22053796,Eric R,Duane was very professional and I truly enjoyed staying at his place! It was very clean and super nice in the inside.  Drew and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place to anyone. 
3312792,24992359,2015-01-04,7055589,Alexander,"Duane's place is super comfortable, stylish, and cozy. He's a fantastic host and has everything you need including excellent recommendations  for everything you could think of. There's a Whole Foods within walking distance, in addition to a ton of restaurants and clothing stores (plus a Starbucks right across the street). We had a fantastic two days in Austin!"
3312792,25067952,2015-01-05,24905723,Leah,"I had a great time at Duane's place! Duane was extremely friendly and the apartment was clean, cozy, quiet, and close to shopping and Whole Foods! I would definitely recommend staying here."
3312792,25121738,2015-01-06,25604462,Mi,"This apartment is unexpected convenient with lots of restaurants and shopping stores. Actually, it is in the mall. I really appreciate Duane's guide and explanation of usage of all the device. Highly recommend this place."
3312792,25242712,2015-01-10,23988286,Keisha,"Duane & his son were very polite....even after  we got to austin extremely later than originally expected.  He made sure we had everything we needed & even had a nice welcome book in the apartment that showed which restuarants where located near the complex, information about parking in the city, restaurants around the city, entertainment & nightlife options, etc.  "
3312792,25357614,2015-01-13,13541996,Kasandra,"Awesome apartment, extremely clean all over, exactly as pictured! Duane made sure to contact us before arrival and everything went smooth! Such a wonderful setup! We loved how close everything was (may shops and dining options). Since there was three of us we used the areo bed as well!  We would definitely plan to stay at Duane's place again next time we are in Austin! Very welcoming to make sure we knew were everything was. Great Host!"
3312792,25525281,2015-01-18,144655,Ivy,"Duane was a great host to us.  My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Duane's.  His apartment is located at The Domain in Austin, literally steps away from shops and restaurants.
His place was clean and inviting.  Everything was working properly.  
We will definitely stay at Duane's again when we visit Austin next time."
3312792,25698503,2015-01-23,26097881,Kim,"I was absolutely impressed with the comfort and security of this apartment.  EVERYTHING you could want or need to shop for is within walking distance.  Of all the places available on this site, this one is the best value, hands down!  
Duane and Maya were very helpful.  Duane stayed in contact in a professional and charming manner.  I give this one 5 stars all the way down the list!!"
3312792,25771943,2015-01-25,14337681,Jennifer,"We ended up having to cancel, due to me getting the flu, but Duane was very understanding!  Thanks again!"
3312792,25940575,2015-01-30,26408683,Barbara,Don't hesitate to stay in this nice apartment in a fabulous location. I will definitely be back. Duane was extremely helpful. Thanks again Duane!
3312792,26007895,2015-02-01,25717785,Aaron,Staying at Duanes apartment was cozy and convenient. Duane was a friendly and understanding host who made us feel comfortable and at home. We will definitely use Duane and airbnb for our next trip to Austin! 
3312792,26148610,2015-02-04,27150033,Breana,Very comfy place ! Will visit again :D
3312792,26677883,2015-02-17,2292205,Ximena,"Duane met us as agreed and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment, the building complex, and the neighborhood.  

The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well laid out - it was perfect for a couple and quite satisfactory with a third person sleeping in the living (website hidden) was easy with a stove, a microwave, and ample refrigerator and cupboard space.  A flat screen TV was set up to  connect to different video services such as Netflix.  There was also a comfortable sofa for viewing.  We had the option of eating on the island which had a double sink with garbage disposal or at a table by the door to the apartment.

The building complex had parking available on the same floor and we could easily access the main highway a hundred yards away.  We were part of a sizable, upscale residential and retail complex with lots of shopping and eating options within short walking distance plus access to Whole Foods, HBE Supermarket, and Costco within a few minutes drive.

The bathroom was ample with a good shower and tub plus the bed in the bedroom was comfortable.  We had a good supply of bath towels.  Both the kitchen area and the bathroom had all necessary supplies and utensils.

When we next go back to Austen, we will make this very nice apartment, which was very good value-for-money, our first choice."
3312792,26843624,2015-02-20,12052589,Chris,Duane was a very gracious host.  He met me at the scheduled place within the time frame and showed me the space in a good amount of time whilst also filling in all the information i needed.
3312792,26943876,2015-02-22,4279469,Melissa,The space was accurate as pictured with everything you pretty much need for a comfortable stay and Duane was very helpful with the check in process. 
3312792,27126563,2015-02-26,1413812,Brooke,Duane was a great host!
3312792,27304646,2015-03-01,9644717,Madeleine,The stay was great! Very clean and comfortable. 
3312792,27431279,2015-03-04,18295723,Andrea Carolina,"Our stay at Duane's place was lovely. We arrived a bit later than anticipated and he was kind enough to wait for us anyway. His place was just as described, actually more spacious than I imagined. We had a wonderful stay in austin despite the foggy weather. We would definitely recommend his place to anyone else coming to austin."
3312792,27549942,2015-03-07,4437736,Adam,"The listing is accurate, the host went above and beyond to accommodate a late arrival during travel woes, and the place is quite nice. Really enjoyed my stay."
3312792,27619266,2015-03-08,1822649,Christien,"This was one of my favorite experiences with a vacation rental, especially considering value. Although Duane couldn't meet me, Aaron was really friendly and helpful. Duane was easy to communicate with throughout. The apartment is just like in the pictures, open and quiet. To me, it always boils down to comfort, and the bed/mattress was super luxurious. I would love to return. The location is a definite plus. I think this is the most affordable place/best value in Austin."
3312792,27670991,2015-03-09,27855745,Alexander,"Obwohl ich nur eine Nacht hier verbracht habe, hat sich Duane Zeit genommen, mich um 23 Uhr noch zu empfangen, die Schlüssel zu übergeben und die Wohnung zu zeigen.

Die Wohnung selbst ist sehr angenehm - alle Dinge des täglichen Alltags sind vorhanden. Die Lage ist sehr gut - direkt in einem ""europäisch angehauchten"" Teil von Austin gelegen, hat man zu Fuß kein Problem einzukaufen oder Frühstück zu finden.

Ich würde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen."
3312792,27768329,2015-03-11,9846354,Simon,"Great communication from the start and an excellent  welcome, the host's son showed us where to park and the apartment. Great location and experience, thank you."
3312792,27845338,2015-03-13,25560657,Illya,Great location! Nice apartment and great host. Close to shops and restaurants. Parking is free and is very conveniently located next the the apartment entrance. 
3312792,28081948,2015-03-17,26069690,Lauren,"I stayed here over Spring Break with my boyfriend and let me tell you it was great! We wanted to be close to downtown while yet not being in the heart of all the craziness and this place fit the bill perfectly. The pictures don't lie, the place looks just as seen in the photos and it was very well kept. Duane was an awesome host too, he even had a folder with lists of his favorite things to do in the area which was really helpful (and which by the way we took on accident and he was completely understanding about). He made himself available to us if we needed him but he wasn't intrusive at all. Not only that but the price was incredibly reasonable especially compared to the other places in the area (we went during SXSW so everything was VERY expensive). I would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Austin. A++!"
3312792,28313772,2015-03-22,8737238,Jenay,"If you like convenience this is the place for you, Duane made the stay comfortable for everyone who was staying with me and there were shops and restaurants steps away. Duane made himself very accessible and made sure we had everything we needed before he left us to enjoy the space, I truly felt like I was at a home away from home!"
3312792,28411588,2015-03-23,15400823,Abby,"I was with a couple of friends visiting Austin for a night, and we highly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was clean, trendy and like it was advertised. It was also in the safe neighborhood of the Domain, a giant shopping center with plenty of stores for shopping/dining. I will say that it is a bit of a drive from downtown Austin, but nothing unmanageable. Overall, I would recommend this place as Duane was a gracious host and was prompt with answering any questions we had. "
3312792,28503002,2015-03-24,17167657,Raymond,"This was a fabulous place!  Great location and conveniently located above shops and restaurants.  Duane was not able to meet, but Maya was a great help. Wished I could have stayed longer than a day, but would definitely come back in the future.  "
3312792,28551647,2015-03-25,500078,Steve,"Duane was proactive with communication and quite flexible and accommodating when setting-up a time to meet us so we could get the keys, etc.

This unit is conveniently located close to the resident-only parking deck area (accessible via the keyfob provided).  I was traveling with my two young children, so this helped me avoid much cajoling (""C'mon, let's keep walking...the car's just a little further ahead!"").

This rental is located in an apartment/condo complex within a large, recently-built ""lifestyle center"".  The upside to this is that there are a lot of high-end retail stores, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. located within an easy walk.  The downside is that the ""last mile"" to get to the parking garage takes a while due to many stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, etc."
3312792,28875566,2015-03-31,3795055,Guillermo,"This is the second time I stay at this place, as always, Duane makes it very easy to communicate, he make it easy to check in and check out and makes sure the apartment is in order before we arrive. I'll keep coming back to this place because of the great location. Thanks Duane"
3312792,29009270,2015-04-02,8595698,Craig,"Great place, good communication, nice location"
3312792,29078806,2015-04-03,9955124,Jin,"Duane met us with the key at the Starbucks right across from the apartment and showed us around the neighbourhood and the apartment. The apartment was super nice and clean. Austin was our last stop after an intense 5-day road trip and we really felt like home at Duane's place. He also recommended some really nice restaurants and bars at 6th street and we had a wonderful time there. If you need any information on where to go in Austin, just shoot him a message any time. We'd love to stay at the apartment again next time we are in Austin!"
3312792,29406173,2015-04-07,7240808,Tim,"The apartment is awesome and homey, located in an exciting and activity filled complex residential/retail complex called The Domain. Everything was exactly as described, the bed very comfy, the space was immaculate, and Duane made checking in and out seamless. Even though we got in late at night, everything still went smoothly, with Duane's representative making sure that we were well taken care of. Thank you so much Duane, you are a great example of Texas friendliness and hospitality."
3312792,29833243,2015-04-13,28244100,Jessica,"Duane and Maya were really great - very responsive and friendly. We arrived pretty late and had a hiccup with the car rental, but they were so nice and generous about us checking in late (past midnight, sorry!!). The apartment was also great. It's in a really nice area (reminds me of The Grove in LA) - and Whole Foods and Starbucks are so so close, so that's also a big plus. The place is super clean and spacious. The bed, air mattress, and couch are all comfy, too. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone!"
3312792,30028429,2015-04-16,29097924,Eli,Great  place to stay.

3312792,30631237,2015-04-25,601528,Hamsa,"Duane's place was awesome! It was in a perfect location, with convenient parking as well. The bed was super comfortable and his place was so welcoming. Although he was out of town that weekend, he was still checking in on us to make sure we were well settled, which was so thoughtful! I highly recommend this place. "
3312792,30706162,2015-04-26,280497,Sarah,"The apartment is clean, comfortable and beautiful. Duane was a great host who helped us out since we were on a tight timeline for our trip. Maya, who settled us in, was incredibly nice and very helpful. This listing is about 20 minutes outside of downtown Austin, in a big complex with tons of shopping and things to do. If we had more time it would've been fun to explore. Definitely need a car though. Be sure to take note of the apartment number and floor (not on the listing page) since it is in a large building where every floor looks the same. Would highly recommend!"
3312792,30834771,2015-04-27,1262476,Sarah,"Great host! Great communication, nice apartment, easy transaction. Very comfortable. Had a great time in Austin. "
3312792,30947848,2015-04-29,23956873,Raquel,Duane promptly responded to all my questions and the entire process was a breeze.  The apartment was very clean and the location was close to shops and restaurants. It's about 15 minute drive to downtown.

The pool and gym are just minutes away by walk, along with many shops and restaurants to give a lively atmosphere around the apartment.The apartment itself is very roomy, clean, and stocked with kitchen utensils, washer and dryer, etc. which makes everything every convenient.

Whether u are traveling with significant other or a great friend, this was by far the best deal in town. Duane, and Maya were nice enough to accommodate my friend checking in for us because my flight got in at midnight. The apartment was just as described, nice roomy, and clean. The place is conveniently located in ""The Domain"", perfect for night life or early Starbucks run. Overall great Host, great communication, everything ran smoothly.  I wouldn't give it a second thought staying there again. "

The place was just as described in his listing.  It was very inviting and felt like a second home away from home.  It's close enough to pretty much everything in Austin(Driving).  The actual location (The Domain) has gotten very busy from what I remember from only a few years ago. Once you're inside all the hustle and bustle of tyhe outside shoppers goes away and you have your peace and quiet at Duane's place.   Thanks again!

So make sure you've packed everything ;)"

She was very helpful in advising us where to park, giving a short tour of the place, and referring us to a handy binder full of need to knows and recommendations on local activities. The apartment comes with a pool and gym facility (a nice perk). If you need something to do or just to kill time, the outlet right downstairs will suffice. Overall, we had an amazing time at the Domain and Duane was more than helpful. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!"

The location was fantastic, the bed was so comfortable, the living room was fabulous and the courtyard was adorable!   Duane was so easy to work with.   We weren't sure what time we were getting in.   He kept in touch with us throughout the day and made our self check-in seamless!   We couldn't have been happier.   He has a binder with all the information you could possibly need.   Directions to main attractions, restaurant recommendations, places for drinks, movies, etc...  Duane has thought of everything!   We cannot wait to return to Austin and stay with Duane again.   Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable!!   Karl and Tammy, Kingston, NY"
3432804,28375698,2015-03-23,351455,Jamie,"Book this place now!! What a great home in an area really close to downtown Austin by foot, bike or car. I hesitate to recommend it strongly since we would love to book it again next year if we're the same amount of people :).

Catherine arranged for someone to meet us and show us around the house when we arrived, even though it was after 11pm. The house was beautiful and modern, and had absolutely everything we needed: towels, kitchen gear and appliances, and she even left us a couple bottles of red wine :).

The pool was a nice bonus and was refreshing on hot days after a long hike or bike ride.

The area is residential and very quiet.

We definitely recommend staying at Catherine's.

Jamie"

825940,3774266,2013-03-13,3181123,Sajid,"Nice place. Enjoyed my stay. Max (the owner) is a cool guy. He had purchased snacks and drinks for me. Often in the mornings we will chat over a cup of coffee. Note: His place is approx 3miles away from downtown. There is a bus stop about .5miles away from his place. I stayed with him during the sxsw interactive week. Finding a cab was difficult so I used a combination of uber, side car and car2go.  My flight to Austin was super delayed and I did not arrive at his place till 4:30am. Upon reaching his place, I gave him a call. He woke up, came outside and greeted me.

I will definitely stay at his place agan. It's clean & homely.
"
825940,6879109,2013-08-28,3121111,Sierra,"Max's house was the perfect home for my Austin adventure. Conveniently located and very clean and nice!

The room was lovely with a comfy bed and private bath. The location is a short walk to a lot of great local eateries and it was easy to get downtown via the bus. Max was very helpful throughout the trip and gave great recommendations. I would certainly stay here again on future Austin trips.
"
825940,10925193,2014-03-13,12243531,Hannah,"Max was my first Air bnb host, and it was a fantastic experience! He's very easy to be around and welcoming. I was totally comfortable in his very adorable house. Getting downtown was easy, I just took a bus (direct, no transfers) or used cabs when I was there for sxsw interactive. A great find when I didn't have a lot of time to sort out accommodations for such an intense festival! "
825940,12446652,2014-05-02,9016971,Trent,This is exactly how airbnb is meant to work. Max kindly accommodated my last-minute request for a 2-night stay. This is a fantastic Private Room+Private Bath on one side of the house so it feels very private. Max is a super nice guy. I can highly recommend this listing as a great place to crash for a few nights in Austin.

825940,20825012,2014-10-06,19001623,Ann,My boyfriend and I were beyond pleased with our first experience using airbnb staying with Max. He was an extremely friendly host and was very helpful giving us tips on things to do and see in the city - it was our first time to Austin. The house is in a great location and was set up with everything we needed to be comfortable. He also gave us our space - we had the place to ourselves most of the weekend. I would highly recommend staying with him!!! Thanks again for everything Max :)
825940,21207259,2014-10-13,9315308,Chris,"Max was a great host. The space was clean and comfortable. relatively close to many places and with taxis/uber/lyft and Car2go very accessible. (It's not at all accessible by public trans though.) We were there for ACL festival and didn't spend too much time at at space besides to sleep. All in all really nice and comfortable. Max made us feel very welcome, opening up his home to us. He told us to help ourselves to anything in the fridge and left a few awesome snacks and coffee for us when we arrived. Upon our arrival he informed us that his two kids would be spending a couple of nights there during our stay. This turned out to be a non-issue as we weren't even hardly aware of their presence but it is something that should probably be included in the original listing. 

The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious and the jacuzzi tub was awesome!"
825940,21978842,2014-10-27,22195192,Sean,Max was a great host and everything was as advertised. The neighborhood is very nice and the location was awesome. 5 minutes from Downtown. Definitely would stay again if we are in the area.

I would recommand to everyone."

The bathroom was large, spotless, comfortable. All amenities you could ask for, bed was super comfy and there was coffee/cereal available. Wifi access and parking plus a great location made this an A+ AirBNB experience. (And we have used AirBNB all over the world!). "
825940,25025669,2015-01-05,22023567,Tracie,"This was our first Air BnB stay, and Max has now set the bar high! Max was a great host-- he had set out information on transportation, nearby food/drink options, and some recommendations for Austin's top spots. His place was clean, cozy & close to S Lamar & S Congress hot spots, while still being tucked away enough to enjoy some R&R. We were all in & out throughout the week, but it was fun catching up when we were all around. The were fresh linens & some basic snacks (crackers & coffee) set out for us, which was a lifesaver after a horrendous day of travel. Even as our itinerary changed on the fly, Max was a gracious host. A highly recommended place & host!"
825940,26752095,2015-02-18,26898743,Justina,"Perfect! Max was welcoming and accommodating -- everything I could ask for as a first time airbnb user.  Likewise, the room and house were warm and comfortable -- and the hammock! I hope ""my room"" is open the next time I'm in Austin. "

His house is quiet, located in a great neighborhood, and only 5-10 minutes outside downtown Austin if you're driving. It was a great place to come home to at the end of the day during SXSW. "
825940,29828816,2015-04-13,27801465,Robin,"Exactly as described, and a perfect fit to our need! Max was a most gracious host, even greeting us at the door when our flight was delayed. We were in and out for several days as we were attending the 2015 Moto GP at the Circuit of the Americas track but we felt as if we were welcome friends staying for the week-end. The room had its own private bath which made it all the more comfortable especially with the notable touches Max left for us. The location was just 12 minutes from the airport , 10 from downtown and 20 to the track. It was a great trip and a wonderful first experience with AIR BNB, thanks Max!"

5432556,28190723,2015-03-19,4525932,Dina,"Erin was a wonderful host, going out of her way to accommodate my schedule, and her home was both clean and comfortable. The bed was a welcome relief from other AirBnBs I've had in the past which were hard, lumpy futons. There was a great Wi-Fi connection, a lovely bathroom with great shower pressure, and even a ceiling fan in the room for keeping cool on warm Austin nights!  Would definitely rent again."
7643663,48969938,2015-09-29,19868473,Brooke,"We loved staying at this modern clean tiny guest house! It was very comfortable, with very soft sheets, nice towels and even Topo Chico in the fridge (our new fav mineral water)! They made it easy to communicate and were able to accept our request to stay with very short notice. Typically $11 uber ride to downtown and would gladly recommend staying here!"
7643663,49665096,2015-10-05,10962818,Robert,"Karmyn, Alex and the dog (didn't get the name but very sweet and very friendly) gave me a very warm welcome on arrival after what had been a very long journey from Hong Kong. They kindly showed me around the room, let me know the important facts and went the extra mile in putting a few complimentary beers in the fridge. 

The room is tastefully furnished and well equiped. The bed is very comfortable, the bathroom modern with an excellent shower and whilst I didn't use anything more than the fridge the kitchen would allow you to cook. Although, with all the great food places nearby you'd be hard pressed to want to - something else Karmyn did was provide a list of local eateries.. Stiles was great for BBQ!

For the times when you are in the room and not asleep the TV has Tivo and I was able to watch pretty much anything from sports to movies. 

I'd highly recommend staying here, its a lovely place, in a very friendly environment. "
7643663,50335328,2015-10-11,20629715,Cristina,Karmyn was very welcoming and provided a great list of tips for the area. The place was so cute and comfortable. Would stay here again. 
3912916,18867191,2014-09-01,12620639,Jonathan,"My stay was great in this apartment.  The apartment is clean and cozy. I had no issues at all. I loved the location of this apartment. Close to the university and close enough to walk to downtown and sixth street. The host also provides a parking spot for you. I liked this a lot because looking for a parking spot in austin can be complicated.  Overall, this apartment is great. It is a good place to stay because of it's location. The apartment is clean and everything worked well. The host was also helpful,  he would check up with me to see how things were going."
3912916,24637773,2015-01-01,21439804,Lia,"O apartamento foi alugado para toda a família e todos se sentiram confortáveis. A localidade para quem precisa estar próximo a UT (University of Texas) é muito boa, próximo de restaurantes, farmácia e paradas de ônibus."
3912916,26175507,2015-02-06,21296247,Gary,"
The apartment is exactly as described. It's conveniently located to the University of Texas, downtown Austin, and multiple local parks.  Campbell is friendly and accommodating without being intrusive--an excellent host."
3912916,27181224,2015-02-27,1400914,Per,"Lejligheden ligger i et dejligt stille kvarter 5 minutter fra universitetet, og der er masser af søde unge mennesker. Den er fin til to personer, evt med børn. Bagved er en lille gård, som Cambell vil renovere. 
Vores vært var nem at komme i kontakt med."
3912916,27417462,2015-03-03,21383054,Michael,"We had an excellent stay at this location.

The apartment was exactly as described and pictured.  Clean, conveniently located, and quiet.  It met all of my expectations.

Campbell, our host, was incredibly friendly and helpful.  He called the night before to confirm our reservation and ask if there was anything he could help with.  During our stay he checked in to see how things were and if there was anything we were missing.

Overall, a really pleasant experience.  I would stay again."
3912916,28196076,2015-03-19,22935487,Robin,The reservation was canceled 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3912916,29841112,2015-04-13,21018458,Kelly,"This apartment complex was definitely in an awesome location and very close to the UT Campus and 6th street. However, this is definitely a ""no frills"" place to stay (no basics like toilet paper, trash bags, shampoo/conditioner, soap, etc.). It also was not the cleanest once we got there and there were no doors going into the bedroom and bathroom. Overall the host was very helpful during this experience and informative about all the arrangements beforehand."
3912916,30796713,2015-04-27,30181555,Melissa,Campbell communicated very well with us to coordinate our arrival and to assess our needs. The apartment was bare bones but we were not planning to spend a lot of time inside anyway. It was perfectly located to walk to UT and Pease Park. We even walked down to 6th Street!
3912916,31321229,2015-05-04,29449978,Aruna,"The host, Campbell, was very pleasant to deal with. We didn't have the opportunity to meet face to face, but he called multiple times and made sure everything was set up for us. The space itself is small, but enough for 2 people. The couch is very small and would not fit a third person. The location was great. We were able to walk to and from S. Congress multiple times over the weekend. "
3912916,32076072,2015-05-13,27237352,Moises,"The house is according to the photos. It is well localized and everything was working. Also, Campbell was in touch to ser if everything was OK."
3912916,33339429,2015-05-26,23523943,Pablo,"Small but nice place, easy deal with the keys. Thanks"
3912916,33551666,2015-05-29,32305107,Adam,"The rental is exactly as shown in the pictures.  Great location with easy access to campus, bars/cafes/restaurants.  Includes parking, which was great (area hotels charge between $19-$50 a day for parking)."
3912916,33796601,2015-06-01,30364454,Brian,"Working with Campbell was easy and hassle free. He was out of town during my weekend stay, but he was available to me via phone and text, and was communicative when I needed him. It's a modest place, but in a great location. It was just what I needed for a quick weekend conference by UT, and it was at the right price. The listing said it could accommodate 4, but I would say more like two. Perhaps a third on the couch if it was a little kid. Also the flexible check in-check out time was a nice bonus. Didn't feel rushed to get my things together on check-out day. Very comfortable and easy experience. Would stay there again."
3912916,34667637,2015-06-10,34587777,David,"Campbell was very responsive from the onset, helping make our trip to Austin as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. When we first got into the place it was very clean and he had left out clean towels and sheets. Additionally, there was extra laundry detergent which was a huge plus! I would definitely recommend staying here for any trip to Austin as the location was great and the AC was amazing."
3912916,35174239,2015-06-15,35418854,Clerc,Campbell was great. Responded promptly to my questions. The location was fantastic! We could make the walk to downtown and lots of great places to dive in to grab a bite and drink close by.
3912916,35882878,2015-06-22,35706166,Giselle,"Host is very friendly and flexible (eg: arrival/exit time). Quick response, easy to reach.
Great location too.
Note decoration and apt lay-out (living room furniture or bedroom setting) are no longer what it looks like in the pictures (couch is now red, huge although brand new: problem being you cannot get in or out of the room when using it as a bed).
I would only recommend it for 2 - not 3 guests.
Uncomfortable surprise: toilet/tab is located inside the bedroom and does not have a real door to be separated from the room.
"
3912916,42197806,2015-08-11,25563294,Catherine,"Campbell was a great host. Very quick and responsive when we had questions. Yes, the pictures are a little outdated with furniture, but we had no more or less space than the photos shown. We really enjoyed the A/C in the dead heat of summer and falling asleep with the tv on in the living room. We used Lyft to get around and the apt. was not too far from any location. The area around the apt. is not the greatest but never felt unsafe or like I was being watched or anything. We really enjoyed our stay, overall!"
3912916,49787903,2015-10-06,14205323,Alek,"The listing was accurate and Campbell was a good host and easy to reach. The place was pretty small, but definitely comfortable clean. "
3912916,50740995,2015-10-14,32983188,Nick,Campbell was incredibly helpful during before and during our stay at his apartment. He made it easy for us to access his home and was very accommodating for our long stay. The location is great for those who want to be near campus or take a quick walk/Uber to downtown Austin.
3912916,52232922,2015-10-27,35705401,Daniel,"From the time we requested to book to check out, Campbell was very responsive and helpful. The apartment is in a great location near campus, and we were easily able to walk to 6th, Rainey, and beyond. The bed and pullout easily handled 3 adults. I would definitely stay here again!"

The house is as gorgeous as the photos make it out to be.  We literally loved every part of it, and the decorations were flawless.  The beds are really comfortable and it was great having two bedrooms.  And the location was perfect!  I cannot recommend this Air Bnb enough."
1965959,26924998,2015-02-22,11148868,Tabitha,"Great house in a wonderful neighborhood. We stayed for 9 days and it was great.  I rented a bike to get around for part of my trip and the neighborhood is great for biking or walking. Lots of really great restaurants nearby and so close to Zilker Park and the Barton Pool. House is exactly as advertised. 

Owner is super quick to reply to any questions or concerns. "
1965959,28850803,2015-03-30,11065644,Eddie,wow just as described and great little place had everything and close to the lamar strip - house had everything we needed and close enough to everything for a good walk - very clean - would recommend to any one thanks again
1965959,29190247,2015-04-05,5792433,Helen,Overall positive experience. Easy check in and out process. Listing is as described. We did not have a hair dryer and extra toilet paper in the house and Austin brought it over in a few hours.

8392789,48049970,2015-09-22,44470457,Eric,"As a first time AirBnb user Seth and his wife made me feel extremely comfortable in their home–and created a seemless checkout/in experience. They took care of everything, gave me local eats suggestions and even provided complimentary beer.  "
8392789,49410269,2015-10-03,31309902,Rebecca,"Seth's loft was very welcoming. I especially loved how clean the entire property was. The loft included every amenity needed for a weekend trip (towels, shampoo, water, etc.). The location was perfect for Austin --very convenient to everything. I would definitely recommend Seth's loft space to anyone. "
8392789,49942453,2015-10-07,19534464,Kazuhiro,We really enjoyed our stay at Seth's cond. Great room in a great location - 4km far from convention center. Seth was really helpful with any questions we had.  We would stay here again.
8392789,50553430,2015-10-12,16762390,Chris,"Seth's place was fantastic! It looks exactly as it appears in pictures, and was spotless on our arrival. The location is great as well! It was super convenient to access all that South Austin has to offer. I would definitely recommend staying here next time you are in ATX."
8392789,50737508,2015-10-13,1166333,Stacie,"Best experience I've had with airbnb so far!! The place is a breath of fresh air - everything is exactly as the listing says it will be. I loved the natural lighting from the huge window and felt very at home immediately. 

My favourite thing about this Airbnb would definitely have to be the pool in the courtyard! I love soaking up the sun by a nice and quiet pool that doesn't have 50 screaming children in it. :) *note: there wasn't a single screaming child [or adult] anywhere in my vicinity the entire 24 hours! yay!

The gate code & key pad door access to the place made me feel super secure *even though this area is incredibly safe as it is. It made it super convenient for me as well to not have to coordinate with the host to meet at a specific time to retrieve a key.. austin traffic is unpredictable and with ACL chaos ubers were surging and cabs fares were ridiculous.. so it was indeed a perk to be able to bike over at a leisurely pace to let myself in. 


Really can't say enough about how great my experience was. I kind of wish I could just Airbnb there forever.

oh and the hosts were lovely. extremely attentive and on point when contacted - and just lovely humans.

if you're reading this you should stay here. **


**for anyone wondering if this is a Drake reference - it most certainly is. you're welcome. 
"
8392789,51228350,2015-10-18,5960964,Joy,Seth was a great host and his place was exactly as it looks in the photos. The location is ideal-a quick 3 minute über ride to South Congress or a nice 15 min walk. We would definitely stay again in the future!

8392789,52142655,2015-10-26,6114582,Suzie,"Seth is probably the best host I have come across. From the moment of booking, he was in contact with all the important information to clarify how to park and enter the apartment, which is so often overlooked yet so important. His apartment is spotlessly clean, very well situated and comfortable. I will always look to stay here before looking anywhere else on future Austin visits. Thanks Seth! "
8392789,52386147,2015-10-28,39283237,David,"We had a perfect stay at this cool place. Great location, clean and comfortable! We would definitely recommend it to other people! "

We had a group of 9 and it was the perfect house. The kitchen and the living area are perfect for entertaining. Shalah was very helpful with anything we needed. I would definitely book this house again and recommend it to anyone. Booking this house got me big kudos points with my group :). Thank Shalah for everything"
2582807,39607848,2015-07-25,12331,Dani,"Jay and Sarah were great at communicating with us!  We had originally reserved a different Vacation Cake rental but it had some issues that were being worked on so Jay offered Top Hat.  Sarah, who works with Jay, was in constant contact and available to answer any questions immediately.  

Top Hat itself was a super fun place to stay!  Bigger than we originally reserved, we were glad to have the space on day 2 as our daughter was sick and we were stuck indoors!  The house is super comfy with great beds and communal space.  We loved the outdoor spaces too (despite the crazy heat)."

Ryan was available at all times to answer any questions.  Zero complaints on all fronts.  Totally recommend to anyone who wants to stay downtown Austin.
1162922,6376335,2013-08-10,6618204,Ross,"I will say that we have become rather accustomed to staying at one of Ryan's properties when we visit Austin. Each one of his places in unique in design, but absolutely meets our needs and expectations. From the comfortable environment of the property, to the convenient location in downtown Austin, I highly recommend Ryan as a host for your next Austin visit. "
1162922,6768717,2013-08-24,3685524,Tasso,"Great location, great responsiveness, great property , great guy in Ryan...
I would recommend and rent from him again."
1162922,7463742,2013-09-21,5335760,Brian,The apartment and hosts were great! Perfect location -- really can't get any better -- and any time I needed a little something extra (e.g. an air mattress and an iron) the hosts were on hand to help out. I'd definitely stay with them again.
1162922,8050760,2013-10-14,7569034,Sohan,Ryan was helpful with our stay. His apartment is very clean and well furnished. The location is exceptional. We had a great time!

1162922,9821125,2014-01-12,2101951,Jex,Ryan was a great host! He was very quick to communicate with our group and the place was just as lovely as described. What a perfect location for staying in Austin!! 
1162922,9955948,2014-01-21,2492762,Christian,Ryan was very hospitable and always reachable in the event we needed something.  I would highly recommend his place on 4th Street as it is conveniently located and a much better deal for a small group than turning to the pricey area hotels.  Great time!
1162922,10516442,2014-02-23,9449923,Denis,"Clean apartment, well situated. Great parking. "

The place is very clean, good-looking, and in the perfect location...right in the heart of it all. Staying here again will be a no-brainer! "

1162922,10997509,2014-03-17,5243625,Jordan,"
Really enjoyed the 4th Street & ""St. Jac"" (as the locals call it) location. In the heart of DT Austin, walkable distance to food, drink and live music. The apartments were very clean and had a great, relaxing atmosphere. I'd be happy to come back and stay again."
1162922,11175974,2014-03-24,11693249,Amy,This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to explore Austin. It was so convenient and close to everything. The condo was very nice and we look forward to going back soon!
1162922,11261807,2014-03-27,11962529,Ilana,"Fantastic location and extremely professional hosts.  Being so centrally located and having a parking spot made exploring the area easy.  The owners went out of their way to provide us with baby gear, which made the trip from New York a lot more manageable with a toddler.  Highly recommend."
1162922,11320018,2014-03-30,11297153,Sam,"Ryan was a great host, easy to contact, quick to reply, and went above and beyond to make our stay what we wanted.  Both of the units we rented were very clean and exactly as pictured.  Will definitely look to stay here again."

1162922,15007038,2014-06-30,17111986,Bethany,"The rental was great! It was exactly what we expected and worked well for the 5 people we had in our group. Getting in to the condo was simple with the detailed instructions Ryan and his assistant e-mailed to us just a day after the booking. The only glitch was that the sheets in the linen closet were for a twin bed, and they didn't fit the air mattress (which was a double or queen). But a quick message to our hosts got us the correct size sheets very quickly. In the corner bedroom there is noise from the street below, but I used earplugs and then it wasn't a problem. The location was great -- just two blocks from 6th street and central or a short walk to a lot of downtown Austin's highlights. I would definitely recommend this place again. Clean, tidy, convenient, and great communication with the owners/management."
1162922,22392801,2014-11-05,7692672,Lindsay,"We actually didn't stay in this rental, as there was damage from a flood in the apartment above, and we stayed in another property - The Speakeasy. We found out about the change a 1+ week in advance, so it wasn't a bother. 

The new apartment was in the building next door and had the same amenities as this original place. It was very nice, well-appointed, clean and stocked with the basic supplies (linens, towels, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, plates, glassware, cutlery, pots and pans and even a keurig w/ k-cups!). It was perfect for our week in Austin for the F1 race. Having the full kitchen also saved us a lot of money from having to eat out at every meal, and when you are spending $12 for a taco at COTA, you can use all the savings you can get.

The area around the rental is really great for walking almost everywhere - 6th Street, SoCo, Whole Foods, etc. We only used a pedicab once (other than the shuttle to/from the airport and COTA) and that was more for the experience than the need. For food places, I recommend The Backspace for dinner (recommendation from Ryan's area guide - thanks!). 

Also, of note, you can hear the goings-on of people and cars on 4th street, so bring ear plugs or use a white noise app on your phone if you are a light sleeper.  Or, if you are utilizing only one bedroom, I recommend sleeping in the back bedroom, which doesn't face the street.

Ryan and Thomas, his associate, were great hosts.  Very prompt and detailed with communications. We would definitely book again with Ryan!"
1162922,23394951,2014-11-30,22196810,Kevin,The apartment was perfect - exactly as advertised.  The location couldn't be better.  Check in / out was very simple and flexible on timing.  The only warning is that there was no dedicated parking spot and parking is tough in that area.
1162922,23921695,2014-12-14,5991885,Drew,"Completely seamless experience, great place, great spot, great price, great host.  I travel to Austin 3 or 4 times per year, Ryan's place is my new go to!"
1162922,24813665,2015-01-03,11670135,Maria,"Four friends and I stayed at Ryan's property over the New Year holiday. We were in town for a wedding and were very happy we decided to stay here. 

The location is perfect - right in the middle of downtown Austin and within walking distance to nearly everything: bars, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. 

The house itself is great. We had five people and we fit very comfortably with one person sleeping on the air mattress in the living room. The keyless security was extremely convenient and being inside the complex made it feel even more secure. 

On top of that, Ryan and his team were extremely communicative and helpful. Ryan let me ship a dress I rented to his office and he had a courier run it over to the apartment when it arrived. It was waiting for me at the apartment when I walked in. I can not thank him enough for being so helpful!

We had two frustrations during our stay. First, was the poor WiFi connection. We are pretty tech savvy people and followed the instructions, but were not able to get a good connection the entire stay. My boyfriend had to do work while on the trip and ended up having to leave and go to the nearby starbucks to do so.  

Second, and this isn't such a big deal but more of a heads up, the acoustics in the house are not great (thin walls and windows) so if you're sharing the house and looking for a lot of relaxation, this is probably not the place for you.

Overall it was a great stay  and we would definitely rent from Ryan again!"
1162922,25050515,2015-01-05,14555267,Herb,Ryan's place was absolutely amazing. It looked just as great as the picture and showed. He responded to every question I had very quickly. The location of the condo could not have been better we were walking distance from great places to eat and drink. Not to mention a great grocery store less than a block away. I will be looking to book with Ryan again on my next trip to Austin.
1162922,25998462,2015-02-01,923041,Harald,"Ryan and his colleagues are very friendly, communicative, helpful and responsive people. We enjoyed our week staying in this appartment which we can absolutely recommend. Very good location, too.(Downtown, 2 minutes to 6th street, 2 minutes to the airport bus.)"
1162922,26351039,2015-02-10,15062067,Jonathan,"Place was as described and very convenient for getting around.  Only a block and a half from Congress Ave.   Awesome that a bus from the airport can bring you almost to the doorsteps.  FYI, the fare is $1.75, and they do not give change.  Many good eats nearby and dirty 6th St is only a couple short blocks up.  Very easy to get in and out of the building and room as you just need to remember the codes.  Everything inside worked - had no issues.  All modern appliances.  Beds were comfortable.  We were fine with limited interaction with Ryan.  We did ask for a late checkout, and he/mgmt responded immediately and said it was ok.  Would definitely stay there again if I ever go back to Austin."
1162922,26973003,2015-02-23,17222217,Mary,The host met us at the door and made sure we could get in okay. The space was accurately described in the listing. The beds were comfortable and the space was ran and bright. The location was perfect since we were walking to the convention center several times a day.
1162922,27838527,2015-03-13,2323980,Grace,"I actually did not get a chance to stay due to a last minute emergency, but my colleague stayed and thought Ryan was fine and easy to work with.  "
1162922,28079040,2015-03-17,26586053,Seojie,"This was really great and awesome! The apartment was really clean, and it's in such a convenient location, particularly for SXSW. Would stay here again!"
1162922,28647818,2015-03-28,26144471,Georgios,"I visited Austin for professional reasons and the apartment proved to be a very convenient and relatively cheap solution for me. It is located in the heart of Austin, right next to downtown and 6th street where all the party goes on. The place is spacious and nicely decorated and the pool looks extremely nice although I didn't get the chance to use it due to the long hours I spent outside the apartment. Accessing the premises was very easy after taking bus 100 from the airport to town. Both doors to the condominium were code operated which made entering the building smooth and fast and my stay there stress-free since I didn't have to carry any keys around. I didn't meet face to face with any of the managers but they were kind enough to book me a taxi because my flight out of Austin was early in the morning. Recommended!"
1162922,29704087,2015-04-11,9582468,Andrea,"Ryan was super Accommodating, great host, the apartment was a dream and the location was a great plus, definitely would stay here again"
1162922,32741847,2015-05-21,27074456,Joyce,"Great location.  The apartment is really close to the convention center and also convenient walking to the Congress Street Bridge, river walk and not too far from the State Capitol and University.  Also, plenty of restaurants right there.  Kitchen is well stocked and Keurig is great.  Plenty of towels and so nice to have the washer/dryer. The city info Ryan gave us was really helpful."
1162922,35550989,2015-06-20,18843958,Lisa,"This apartment on 4th street is wonderful. Super central and convenient to everything downtown. I was in Austin for a conference and the apartment was only a couple blocks from where the conference was. Super close to the convention center and all surrounding downtown hotels as well. The apartment is really cute and comfortable. Nicely decorated with a lot of amenities - coffee, TV, wifi, laundry. Ryan was really available and sent me a bunch of information about the apartment and surrounding area prior to my arrival so I felt well taken care of."
1162922,36728437,2015-06-30,27165752,Michael,"Conveniently located downtown and close to everything. Nice grocery store around the corner and coffee nearby. The host (Ryan) was very accommodating and allowed us to check-out late, which was cool because we had a late flight home. Would stay here again."
1162922,37433630,2015-07-06,36663989,Eric,Very nice place!
1162922,38347489,2015-07-14,17517122,Gabrielle,The host gave us so many suggestions on where to go and what to do in the area. 
1162922,38814167,2015-07-19,21508270,Christina,"Lejligheden ligger perfekt i forhold til omkringliggende kongreshoteller og den livlige 6th street.
Lejligheden var fint indrettet - som beskrevet - og den ligger rigtig fint i forhold til den fælles pool.
Pga. beliggenheden, så tæt på 6th street, må man forvente lidt støj fra festglade mennesker på gaden, i løbet af natten. "
1162922,40139580,2015-07-28,28125129,Jason-Noel,"The apartment was just as pictured and was conveniently located near the convention center and several restaurants in the area.  It is close to all the major bus lines as well.  It was the perfect place to stay!  Ryan's suggestions for local places to visit and eat at were great.  

At night, the pool area did get a bit noisy at times, but nothing too outrageous (just people enjoying the warm weather and having fun).  However, since the bedrooms are located on the far side of the apartment, the pool noise was not a factor.  

I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in Austin."
1162922,42588398,2015-08-14,6618204,Ross,Very inviting space that was perfect for our visit to Austin. Ryan made the space feel just like home away from home! Highly recommended! 
1162922,43793928,2015-08-22,25542040,Todd,Communication was satisfactory. There was a sucker waiting for us on the bed!
1162922,46121304,2015-09-08,2600045,Elizabeth,"We had a wonderful long weekend in Austin and Ryan's condo was the perfect location. We walked almost everywhere, but having a parking spot was great because a car was necessary for some excursions. Even though it's right downtown, the condo was quiet. The pool is small but still refreshing after walking around in the heat. Ryan had everything we needed - towels, laundry supplies, toiletries. The condo was clean & checking in & checking out was seamless. "
1162922,49809716,2015-10-06,43724700,Brad,Appreciate it dude.  Wasn't sure how to get in at first.  Parking was pain until we got in.   Thanks again!
1162922,50113481,2015-10-09,39766891,Matt,"We were very pleased with the accommodations, neat, clean and as advertised.  I highly recommend Ryan as a host.  The only difficulty we had was connecting to the Internet which Ryan had fixed right away.  Thanks Ryan.  "
1162922,51759049,2015-10-24,5109178,Natalie,Ryan was very responsive in his communication and we did get a nice welcome gift
1162922,52572020,2015-10-31,17768240,Michelle,"Ryan was responsive, the unit was clean and spacious, and the pricing was fair! Would definitely book with him again. "
8171665,48605302,2015-09-27,18259508,Steph,Luke took time in the middle of his busy day to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay. He is very easy to talk to. His place is super clean and comfortable! I felt like I was right at home. I would definitely stay here again!
8171665,49681100,2015-10-05,19305107,Michael,"Luke was there to greet me and made me immediately feel welcome.  He showed me the room and amenities and even checked in with me during the course of my stay to make sure that I had everything I needed, gave me recommendations for things to eat and places to check out, and had everything outlined in his listing.  Excellent host, excellent place to stay.  A+"
8171665,50323525,2015-10-11,22496134,Vivien,"Luke's home was lovely, clean, and really comfortable. His place had everything I needed and more.  Luke is definitely a super host - quick to respond and very accommodating. I'd definitely book with him whenever I'm in Austin again.  "
8171665,51158125,2015-10-18,44003291,Shayla,"Luke's place was extremely cozy, very clean, and private. The room we stayed in was on the main floor with easy access to the front door with a private bathroom attached, this made for a excellent layout as guests in his home. Luke was a very professional host, he kept to himself, but remained available through text when needed. We were able to meet him on the last day and he was very charming. We would definitely book with Luke again!"
8171665,52278623,2015-10-27,46747983,Chloe,"Luke helped with all the needs I had at his place.  I had problems with getting to his place because my sense of direction and he walked me through getting to his house. The distance was perfect to downtown.
His home was clean and comfortable, which is what attracted me to his place while reading previous reviews.  I would stay again when I am in Austin."
8171665,52795567,2015-11-01,15463013,Hassan,"Luke's place was super clean and very similar to the pictures online. Although I wasn't able to meet Luke on my trip but he would always check to see if I needed something. The place is close to downtown and is located in a very peaceful neighbourhood. If I come to Austin again, I would stay here."
7128645,37273861,2015-07-05,37403088,David,"Located near the Triangle, it is close but far enough from the busy tourist areas. Caleb was accommodating and attentive to our needs. His apartment is located in a complex that reminds one of a vintage California hotel. Caleb provided a clean place for my friends and I to crash during our Fourth of July weekend. You have access to a pool located within one hundred (100) feet from the apartment. Parking is not an issue and we never had problems. I highly recommend staying if you want a relaxing place in Austin. "
762400,3743403,2013-03-11,2949737,Stephen,"Kelly and Stan's house was gorgeous. We had a lovely stay and could not recommend it more highly to future guests. Classy, upscale, clean, and extremely well-located. Kelly and Stan were very helpful and responsive hosts, and they even allowed us to extend check-out due to our late return flights. We hope to stay with them the next time we are in Austin!"
762400,4077674,2013-04-08,5263919,Nicole,"Kelly was great, flexible and easy to work with. Couldn't ask for more. The house was amazing... great location, nice and open perfect for a group of Austin visitors. Especially liked the hanging decoration in the front yard. I would recommend this place to others in a heartbeat!"
762400,4679394,2013-05-20,5739827,Karen,"I needed to find accommodations 1200 miles from home for a very special weekend.  I found Kelly and Stan's place through Airbnb and could not have been more pleased with the whole experience.  The house was perfect for our needs and was exactly as advertised.  It was fully stocked, very clean and Kelly and Stan went above and beyond to help make our graduation  weekend a great success.  I would most assuredly recommend this home for anyone.  Karen and John"
762400,4949182,2013-06-03,5970294,John,"This place cant be beat, the location was prime, the house was huge, plenty of beds and bedrooms, great deck area(s) to hang out, and a great number of things in walking distance! We had a large group stay and Kelly and Stan were incredibly accomodating. "
762400,7912607,2013-10-08,3865731,Xavier,"Kelly & Stan are amazing hosts! We had a great time in Austin and their home was exactly what we were hoping for and more. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable (personalized maps, restaurant and entertainment suggestions, etc.). I highly recommend that anyone looking for a great place to stay while in Austin definitely  stay at Kelly & Stan's home. I know that I will definitely be back soon. "
762400,8784509,2013-11-18,1991663,Akash,Perfect house for a reunion of friends which just happened to be the formula 1 weekend.  Plenty of room and great outdoor space for all hang out.  Very clear instructions and great suggestions for our visit.  Would highly recommend this place to future Austin visitors...
762400,9896336,2014-01-17,4603453,Laura,The reservation was canceled 118 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
762400,16460118,2014-07-28,1470963,Kacey,"We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. It had everything we needed, and most importantly, comfortable space for the group of girls from across the country to re-unite and catch up. I left taking lots of mental notes about neat ideas to decorate my house. =) It was also easy walking distance to some very delicious brunch spots, and generally very easy to get around. I would highly recommend this house for a wonderful get-away!"
762400,18935584,2014-09-03,13141068,Jaimie,"The house is in an awesome location and very cozy. I would highly recommend staying here, especially because Kelly & Stan are so great! "
762400,20825397,2014-10-06,14607845,Elizabeth,"Kelly and Stan went out of their way to offer assistance for our group traveling from different corners of the country. They thought of everything from lending a yoga mat too having a delicious bottle of wine and bag of coffee waiting for our arrival. The house was perfectly clean and spacious. Everyone had ample privacy with the ability to socialize together in a large open floor plan. The house was stocked with everything you would need. Plenty of fresh towels, comfortable clean linens, and shampoo and body soap dispensers in the showers, as an avid cook I found the kitchen was completely outfitted. There is an awesome back porch that is entirely screened on which we enjoyed lunch and breakfast. We were able to get Uber within 5 minutes even during ACL weekend and we were able to reach anything we really needed within a very short car ride, or a long walk, yet the neighborhood offered a very comfortable sense of security."
762400,21578069,2014-10-20,16349447,Adarsh,We had an excellent experience!  Wonderful house great neighborhood.  Kelly and Stan made us feel very welcome!

762400,28250401,2015-03-21,17846684,Todd,Such a lovely house so close to the action!  Thank's Kelly and Stan for an amazing SXSW!
762400,30756129,2015-04-27,25757026,Meg,Kelly & Stan were the most welcoming hosts to our trip to Austin. Their home was not only beautiful and spotless when we arrived but they accommodated our schedule by allowing a few people from our group to interrupt early and drop their bags before check in and extended check out for us. Their home was cozy and perfect for a big group with great seating in all rooms and comfy beds to sleep. The location too was great with all places we wanted to go a very quick and inexpensive cab ride away. We would absolutely recommend this house and the hosts to anyone looking to spend time in Austin!
762400,31872969,2015-05-11,26324726,Linda,Kelly & Stan were great hosts during our bachelorette trip to Austin. The house was beautiful and spotless when we arrived.

The girls had a great time at the house and we would absolutely recommend this house and the hosts to anyone looking to spend time in Austin!
762400,34400515,2015-06-08,27058194,Lauren,"Kelly was friendly, accomodating, and flexible. She was a pleasure to meet and made me feel as ease with renting a house in an entirely different state. The house was spotless, very well designed, and worked perfect for all 9 of the guests to have their own bed. The neighborhood was a wonderful location-easy to find delicious food within walking distance and easy to get a car-Uber to take us beyond walking distance. Perfect place to stay!! Thank you!"
762400,36518002,2015-06-29,369243,Michelle,Amazing time! The house is even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures. The owners have great taste and lots of art :)
762400,37319617,2015-07-06,21606851,Jacqueline,"I echo Michelle's review below: the house is  even more beautiful and comfortable than the pictures show! Thank you Stan and Kelly for letting my friends and I stay here for a bachelorette party/July 4 weekend! The open kitchen was a great area for all of us to gather, hangout, and eat/make breakfast! The living area is much bigger than what the pictures show. The whole house was amazing! There was also a great screened-in backyard, perfect for eating breakfast!

I also really appreciate Stan and Kelly for their responsiveness to all my questions, before and during the trip! We didn't know how to use the dishwasher (I guess, silly us) and Stan was so responsive about it. We also appreciate the abundance of towels and the shower gel/shampoo/conditioner dispenser! Genius!! :)

I would not hesitate to stay at Stan and Kelly's classy and beautiful home again! The location of the house was also spot on - not far from all the necessities (restaurants, coffee, groceries) and so easy to get around the city via uber."
762400,38108382,2015-07-13,3042334,Aparna,"This was a great house! We went to Austin with a group of 10 girls and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Clean, convenient and perfect for a large group. The host was great and really helpful in making the weekend awesome. "
762400,46136372,2015-09-08,12446119,John,"Stan was a great host who provided all of the info we needed before arriving and was easy to contact. He left us a bottle of wine and a detailed packet with information on the house and neighborhood. The house is even better than described and is close to a Whole Foods, a coffee shop and a few other restaurants/stores. The kitchen is great for cooking with a group and the back patio is a lovely spot to relax at night. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had nice towels with shampoo/soap.

Stan was a great host particularly when there was malfunction with the AC. He was very responsive and made everything right. "
762400,48496762,2015-09-27,27655084,Michelle,Stan was very informative before our stay and we got to meet him when we got to the house. He showed us around a bit. The house was beautiful. My friends were obsessed with the book selection around the house. The house was perfect for the 9-person group. The private bedrooms and 3 bathrooms made getting ready super easy! Ubers/Lyfts were around $10 to downtown Austin - not bad at all! Good restaurants around the house too! Great running trail near the house. 
762400,49758786,2015-10-06,15147850,Brynn,Stan was an extremely accommodating and welcoming host! He had a bottle of wine and a guidebook ready for us and even allowed us to check-in 2 hours early since we flew in early on a red eye flight. We traveled with a group of 8 for the ACL festival and the house was very comfortable and in a great location. Thank you Stan!
762400,50425922,2015-10-12,30444099,Daniel,Just got back from ACL weekend and we had the opportunity to stay at Stan's beautiful house.  It was everything we needed a nice place to crash and a great location.  The location was so nice that we actually ended up looking up property value.  The million dollar neighborhood was just a bit out of our range.  Maybe next year.  Stan was very accommodating and let us even check it a bit early.  We appreciate it. Like I said the location is great I think the most we ever paid for a taxi was $20.00.   
762400,52046196,2015-10-26,38124002,Mike,"Stan has a great home that's very convenient to downtown and has its own local amenities within walking distance. Stan is a great host that has a genuine care for his guests' experiences. He's close enough to help with anything you many need, but you still feel like it's "" your"" home while you're there. 

We were a group of six pretty big guys and the home was certainly large enough for us. We could have been another 1-2 guys and maintained the same level of comfort. Families can likely comfortably fit even more people here. 

All in all thumbs way up. Whenever we are back in Austin with a similarly sized group we will certainly hope that Stan's home is available to us. "
5396698,29699965,2015-04-11,30345794,Amber,"Keith was very hospitable! The room is small, but quaint- it was perfect for our needs. It was also a great location only being a couple miles from The Domain!"
5396698,32728387,2015-05-20,33169157,Mahesh,Keith and Patricia are the awesome hosts! We lived there for around 10 days and enjoyed a lot. The house was clean and well equipped. They showed us places near by and were very welcoming. We would love to stay again if any opportunity comes by. I would recommend this place to anyone vising North part of Austin.

They have a beautiful bath; well stocked! :) The rest of the place is just as clean, beautiful and filled with numerous souvenirs. The neighborhood is very quiet and their backyard was my favorite place to spend my evenings.

About them: Keith and Patricia are great hosts! They are very accommodating and friendly. It's a delight to speak with them and hear about their travel experiences or just about anything. They offered me rides and gave some very good suggestions for food/shopping. Otis, the unbelievably obedient dog, is just as friendly and sweet. They let me spoil him with treats :D  

I had a great time here staying with this family. I recommend this place for if I ever get a chance to be in Austin again, I'd love to be here again."
5396698,49618893,2015-10-05,18678160,Ashley,"The room was exactly how described and pictured. The bathroom was easily accessible next door and they left cups for us to use. Keith left a nice note for us with instructions, wifi password and tips which was very nice of him and appreciated! He was very nice to leave out a key for us due to our late arrival. My only criticism is that the  bed was very uncomfortable which we were not expecting. "
5396698,50573756,2015-10-12,16539757,Scott,"The accommodations were as described, location was quiet and safe, pets were friendly, Keith and Patricia were pleasant and have an abundant knowledge of the area.   

Upon arrival we were greeted by Keith with a warm smile and an open home.  The available room was clean, comfortable and well appointed.  The bed was a sleeper sofa and I found it to be more comfortable than most pull outs.  (pillows were awesome) The private guest bathroom is literally one step out of the bedroom and filled with any toiletries you may have forgotten.  

Upon arrival I had a nice one on one with Keith, I found him to be entertaining, positive, and full great energy.  It was nice to sit and chat about issues you won't find in mainstream media.  Patricia was napping when we arrived (she works nights), but she was quick to get up and spend some time with us as well.  After some getting to know each other we decided to have dinner together at a Greek restaurant nearby at the recommendation of the hosts. 

We stayed for two nights and our time spent with Keith and Patricia at their home exceeded our expectations.  I highly recommend staying with these kind people and their animals if you are planning a trip to Austin.

The house was absolutely beautiful, exactly as shown in the pictures. The neighborhood had a great vibe, several places to eat, drink, however was peaceful at night. We were able to walk from the famous 6th street back to the house (although it was a good 25 minute walk) and felt 100% safe. I would highly recommend staying with Brent and Buddy and wish we were there longer!! Thanks again guys! "
4605668,25102912,2015-01-06,5540582,Alexandra,"Brent and Buddy were incredible hosts. They put us up in a lovely clean room and the house was absolutely beautiful and looked identical to, if not even better than, the pictures. The wrap around deck is particularly amazing. When we arrived they gave us a tour and then a helpful information pack which contained excellent recommendations of where to eat and what to do. They also gave us extra recommendations of where to eat in the area. All the places they suggested were excellent. They were lovely, friendly, kind and warm but they also gave us our space. The area is awesome, lots of places to eat and drink nearby. It is about a 20/25 minute walk to down town Austin which didn't bother us at all as we like to walk! I highly recommend staying with Brent and Buddy!"
4605668,25149491,2015-01-07,22855119,Lindsey,"Brent and Buddy were incredible hosts! The house is absolutely beautiful and in a great location. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival that we were upgraded to a larger room than the one we booked, which was very large, clean and even had its own balcony. Brent and Buddy were very welcoming and gave us a tour of the house when we arrived as well as recommendations on good restaurants/bars close by. Unfortunately we only were in town for one night, but would definitely stay with them again on our next trip to Austin!  "
4605668,25721790,2015-01-24,25395240,Andrea,"Brent and Buddy were great. Happy to give recommendations whenever I asked. House was great and room was spacious and clean. I would stay here again, hopefully next time it won't be raining so I can enjoy the porch and the great location!"
4605668,25889049,2015-01-28,21332825,Margaret,"I had a very brief overnight here and it was clean and pleasant. As a 60ish woman, I especially enjoyed being around these young guys and their young guests---they were smart, fun and engaging. There was some outside traffic and pedestrian street noise but it stopped about 10 and gave me a very quiet night's sleep.  The home is beautiful but the bedrooms are quite sparse so if you are seeking luxury, this would not be the spot. However if you're ok with the basics--clean and comfortable spot to stay with the benefit of hip youngsters around, this fits the bill!"
4605668,25921122,2015-01-29,25539586,Jocelyn,Last minute booking was a breeze. Thank you! 
4605668,26142612,2015-02-04,26746540,Isabella,"My trip was wonderful! Everyone was very kind to me. I spent most of time time at the house alone in my room, even so I felt very safe an comfortable. The house is in one of my favorite neighborhoods, I was easily able to get where I needed to go. It made an excellent home-base. "
4605668,26318258,2015-02-09,26369097,Colin,"I didn't get to spend a lot of time with Brent and Buddy because I was out at a conference most of the time, but the place was great and they were very prompt about responding to any questions I had.  If you've never been to Austin, it's in a cool area with a lot of night life in walking distance.  I'd highly recommend!"
4605668,26549056,2015-02-15,2455682,Jameson,Brent was very helpful meeting me and getting me situated.  They definitely know about the good local eats and had a blast.  It was great that the house is situated right on a major street with buses going right out front.
4605668,26694128,2015-02-17,20333722,Reem,"Easy going! Great location, will def be staying here again soon x"
4605668,26871037,2015-02-21,25614260,Devin,Check in and prior communications were great. The house was clean and organized. The neighborhood is close to most of the great things in Austin and very walkable. 
4605668,26939911,2015-02-22,27215146,Michael,"Received a warm welcome from Brent despite my late arrival. Clean bed and private bathroom. Location was excellent. 10 minute walk to great live music venues Whitehorse,Scoot inn and others. First Air B&B experience. Would definitely stay again and plan to return to Austin. $1 breakfast tacos down the block."
4605668,27019868,2015-02-23,27611071,Sandra,Brett and Buddy were incredibly prompt about accepting my reservation and accommodating and being flexible with my schedule. The home is relaxed and other guests were easygoing and friendly. Everyone made me feel welcome. The room set up is basic and as described- just what I needed to crash for the night. The location is conveniently close to downtown on a busy street so the off street parking was welcome. There are some good nearby restaurants that are less touristy too- bonus.
4605668,27131249,2015-02-26,10036941,Chris,"Brent was a great host! He meet him at the house when I arrived. He gave a great tour and showed me around the area and all the great places to eat. The location was perfect. Only a 15 minute walk to downtown and so many great coffee, bars and places to eat in the area. The East side of Austin is really growing and tons of businesses opening up. I highly recommend staying here during your visit to Austin. Thanks guys for a great stay in East Austin. Cheers, Chris"
4605668,27188712,2015-02-27,5186792,Jayme,"My stay was only one night, but exactly what I needed! Beautiful house, friendly host, and comfortable room. I wish i had more time, but would definitely stay again"
4605668,27351246,2015-03-02,27624648,Susan,"I really loved the location: I could walk to downtown in about 15 minutes, and passed little restaurants, salons and shops along the way.  I felt very safe walking on my own."
4605668,28849475,2015-03-30,194152,Lawrence,Great welcome.  Friendly place.
4605668,29340634,2015-04-06,24146349,Delia,"I had a pleasant stay in this fabulous neighborhood. Some cosmetic details could be improved, but sure they will be by the next guest's stay, as the hosts are kind, efficient, and well-organized. "
4605668,29911421,2015-04-14,6868073,Esther,Great location! Nice place. Great hosts. Made check in easy. Would visit again. 
4605668,30287434,2015-04-20,27333946,Joslyn,"This house was very cozy and was a great accommodation for my stay in Austin. Brent was very friendly and attentive and also had great food recommendations within walking distance of the house. It was conveniently located very close to downtown which was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone to come stay in Austin. 
"
4605668,30769529,2015-04-27,16599762,Kate,"I was really happy to have my room and en suite bathroom. I didn't meet Buddy, but Brent couldn't have been nicer."
4605668,30985616,2015-04-30,28954750,Samantha,"The room was great, it was the perfect size for one, and I loved having the bathroom all to myself. I only got to speak to Brent once when he showed me around the house, but I could tell that he was very welcoming, so that was good. The location is great, if you love Mexican food, there is like h5 different locations you can walk to, and there is a market/liquor store right next to the house, which was very helpful for me. The bus stop is also just a few blocks away and it will take you right to downtown. "
4605668,31154445,2015-05-02,18930467,Doug,"Brent was very accomodating. House was quiet & clean.
This landmark is a gem in the East Cesar neighborhood.
Would definitely go back."
4605668,31517239,2015-05-06,3537571,Isaiah,"I didn't actually meet Brent until the second day, but he made integration into the place very easy. The room's private bathroom was very spacious and clean. The shower took a little finessing though to work and get it to the right temperature. 

Bed was very comfy and the noise was not a problem, however, the window is right next to a gas station and sometimes motorcyclists like to blast their engines. Also it would've been nice to know that there is a air conditioning unit stored away in the compartment next to the bed. It wasn't too disruptive though and after the first night it became white noise. 

Besides that I didn't use the other facilities that much, although the porch was a nice place to relax as well."
4605668,32477411,2015-05-18,2180001,Andy,"Listing description was accurate.  I ended up arriving a bit later than expected, but Brent was flexible and met me soon after I got to the house.  The house and room were both beautiful, with high ceilings and a comfortable bed. Checkout was especially easy, as entry is controlled by code rather than a key."
4605668,32713057,2015-05-20,20991726,Alex,"Great spot! So close to downtown and right in the heart of the Austin Culture. Clean room, nice bathroom. Didn't see Brent much, but when we did he was very nice! I would recommend this spot! "
4605668,33532512,2015-05-29,15384747,Abby,"Brent was an awesome host. His huge, historic home was in the perfect location for my husband and myself. There were several great bars, restaurants, food trucks, and a coffee shop that were within walking distance. Granted, my husband and I didn't have a car so we walked everywhere, but it was nice to have a few places super close to the house. There is also a bike rental shop just down the street that is super convenient. The room is just as the pictures portray. Simple, nothing fancy, but perfect if you'll be spending most of your time exploring the city anyway. It was also nice to have a private bathroom in the room. There is a convenience store right outside the window of the room that could be a little noisy. I ended up buying earplugs the second day, and slept just fine that night. However, that same convenience store has an awesome beer selection! Brent was super nice, and available if we had questions or needed recommendations. "
4605668,34520002,2015-06-09,1910000,Evy,Cozy room with ensuite bathroom and blinds. Very quiet and private. The house is huge and there are plenty of other guests to entertain - all in all the perfect stop-over for a visit to the capital of cool :)
4605668,35211135,2015-06-16,9300848,Micaela,"I had a great experience staying here! The room was clean and comfortable. Brent is very nice and very responsive if you need anything. It’s easy to get to various parts of town via car (I took Uber a lot and it was cheap to get everywhere from there) and there are bars, cafes, and restaurants within a very short distance.

There was a clothes rack with hangers in the room, which was very convenient. There was also a nice comfy chair. For me it might have been nice to have one more surface, like a nightstand or dresser, and a full-length mirror, but those are just personal preferences.

I was a little bummed that there weren’t any chairs on the wrap-around porch (at least on the bottom level) and little yard. It’s on a main street, so I can see that maybe not many people would want to sit out at that level, but with my limited mobility, I would have.

I happened to have a broken ankle when I was visiting Austin, so I was on crutches and completely non-weight-bearing on that foot. So the ADA features, like a sit-down shower, were perfect for me!

The entry is by code instead of key, which was convenient and easy. I had trouble getting in the first night I came back, and texted Brent, who texted me back very quickly with help. I felt very confident that he would respond quickly to any questions or issues I had, and he was very nice! We didn’t run into each other much, but he was very friendly and completely willing to suggest places to go and things to do.

I did get locked out one time because another guest locked the safety latch. So even though I had the key code to open the door, I couldn't actually get the door open more than a few inches. Luckily, the guest who locked me out heard me calling out and trying to get in, and opened the door, but they seemed pretty sketched out about letting me in and started asking me all these questions. I think they weren’t aware that there were other guests in the house and that they shouldn’t lock the safety latch on that door. If there were a manual that covered these basics, that might have been helpful. Luckily it wasn’t a real problem, and I’m sure Brent would have come over as quickly as he could, but it was kind of late at night and I felt like the situation could have been avoided if the procedures had been a bit more clear.

Overall, I had a wonderful stay, and this room was comfy, clean, and convenient, with a friendly and responsive host!"
4605668,37351744,2015-07-06,2205151,Jayshree,"Brent was very nice and welcoming! This is a really cool area, with bars and restaurants nearby, and there was plenty of parking and space on the property. Unfortunately, our bedroom window faced the gas station next door, so street noise made it a little hard to sleep sometimes. It's also a rather bare bones house - the whole structure and outside is beautiful, but inside you'll find pretty simple furniture and not much in the way of decoration/charm. Not at all a bad thing, but good to know in case you're looking for something more quirky. "
4605668,39306182,2015-07-22,1176690,Yanev,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4605668,41284040,2015-08-05,38567675,David,This was my first time using AirBNB. Brent was very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom was very large. House was close to downtown and great food. I would definitely stay with Brent again.
4605668,43416869,2015-08-19,18647268,Matt,"My GF and I stayed here and it was our first AirBnB experience. Brent (and his GF) were extremely friendly and welcoming. The house has a lot of old charm and it was great to have a private bathroom.

The room is small, but it was air conditioned, had a queen bed, ensuite bathroom, and was really all we needed while exploring Austin. 

There's a great breakfast taco place and all-natural food truck on the same block that are perfect for quick bites. 

Overall I would recommend this listing to anyone looking for an easy and centrally-located spot while visiting Austin. Everything is a cheap Uber ride away."
4605668,50769781,2015-10-14,13321268,Tanya,"Room and house were clean and exactly what the pictures showed.

Most fantastic part was the location. We couldn't believe how much was going on within a 3 to 4-block radius. And right across the street! Best meal we had that weekend was at the taco truck Vera Cruz, which was only a block away. And a handful of truly excellent bars/cafes all around. 

We would absolutely stay in the house again, and we'd bring more friends!"
2564741,11422608,2014-04-01,13507135,Michael,"This was my first AirBNB experience and it was a very positive one! Kim had quick communication prior to my booking. She offered to pick me up from the airport which was huge because I wasn't sure if I wanted to book a rental car or not. The location of her place was perfect for me, it was close to the airport and the downtown area. The room I stayed in was really nice and it had eveything I needed for my stay including super fast wifi (This was crucial in my line of work)! Overall it was a great experience and I would highly reccomend to anyone considering her place when staying in Austin! "
2564741,11785808,2014-04-14,14159647,Tina,"Kim was a wonderful host and her place was cute, clean and comfortable. She was laid back but attentive and knowledgeable and helpful with local info. She inquired as to our breakfast preferences before stocking the fridge and the basket of extra toiletries in the bedroom came in handy. Her dog was a lovely, super well-behaved mascot.  All in all it felt much more like we were visiting a friend of a friend.  This was our first experience with Airbnb and we will definitely use it again and if we have the chance to return to Austin we'll hope to go back to Kim's."
2564741,19993623,2014-09-21,19570592,Alexandra,"Kim was a wonderful host! I couldn´t have made a better experience. She offered to pick me up in the city and helped me to find my way around town by one of her great bikes. The location of her place was perfect for me: close to the UT and to downtown. In addition her house is lovely, clean and has everything you need and her dog Daisy is very cute!
I would highly recommend to anyone to stay at her place!"
2564741,21286601,2014-10-14,10588835,Ankje,Our stay at Kim's house was very pleasant. The house is cosy and comfortable and the room is as well. Kim is a very nice and friendly host and takes good care of things. I would highly recommend a stay at Kim's. 
2564741,21537622,2014-10-19,7565136,Avraham,"I has a great stay at Kim's home. Nice and quiet neighbourhood very close to public transportation and just 25 min to downtown. I discovered that the public transportation in Austin is very sufficient. You don't need a car, and you can use Kim's bike if you're in shape. Her dog is adorable (and I don't usually like dogs) and quiet and polite. The house and room were clean and cozy. And Kim was very helpful in providing me information on getting around. "
2564741,22706535,2014-11-12,3387471,Dans,"Kim was a very welcoming host, her home was cosy, inviting and very clean. My partner Mike and I agreed that the shower was amazing after a long drive and the complimentary tea, coffee, fruit bowl and muesli bars were a nice touch. The bed was quite firm and I found it uncomfortable however my partner didn't seem to mind it.

Kim was very helpful with suggestions and answering our questions about Austin. There was another air bnb couple from Boston staying the same weekend and they also quite nice. 
Kim's house is conveniently located, we had a car and it was a short and easy drive to vintage stores, record stores, good food, coffee, bars and downtown. (she also has bikes!)
And we loved her dog Daisy."
2564741,23553545,2014-12-04,23774106,Francisco,"It was a perfect experience! Kim is a wonderful host and the house is very good! Daisy is a good girl too! 
I spend a great time in Austin!"
2564741,24505494,2014-12-29,1727936,Nita,"Great space, sweet dog, almond milk for coffee and a compost bucket - East Austin at its best."
2564741,25419192,2015-01-15,4197733,Caitlin,"Kim was a great host, she's incredibly warm and welcoming as well as organized.  When I arrived she helped me with my bags, showed me around her home, explained a few key points and let me settle in. The organized part is a great little binder with basic instructions around the house, and a list of things to do nearby.  
I stayed for a whole week and felt very at home the entire time, using the kitchen for cooking, the laundry, and just sitting in the living room to read.  Her dog Daisy is super sweet as well, she was definitely a highlight.  
I would definitely recommend staying here, its close enough to the city to be convenient - a short drive, decent bike ride or there are a couple of bus lines nearby that go downtown.  Thanks again Kim!"
2564741,25977438,2015-01-31,9723711,Abraham,Kim is very welcoming.  She was very helpful.  Her place is nicely decorated and feels good to be in. It's very clean and organized with plenty of privacy. She puts out oatmeal and fruit in the morning.  I really appreciated that.  Her dog is very friendly and well-behaved.  Kim even lent me one of her bicycles when mine was broken.  Everything was better than expected.  
2564741,27036573,2015-02-23,2076790,Karin,Kim was an awesome host and I felt incredibly at home. The house is super cute and clean and I had everything I needed to feel comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!
2564741,27433275,2015-03-04,7946635,Meta,"Kim went above and beyond her Airbnb ""duties""... was super welcoming, informative and helpful. The house is very sweet, clean, and comfortable. I enjoyed the use of the bike and the location is biking (or bus) ride from many areas. Good for singles or couples who want an authentic Austin experience."
2564741,28072864,2015-03-17,2239164,Ilya,"I found Kim and her home very welcoming and a pleasure to stay in. She is gracious host and just an awesome human being. She is an interesting person with a wide array of hobbies and knows a little bit about everything. (if your nice, she will pick vegetables from her garden) Aside from being an excellent host she provided me a bicycle to ride my entire stay, and that’s a big plus in my book. (Austin is ideal for biking) The room was very clean and cozy. She has an older dog named Daizy who is very chill and just does her own thing. She also offers fruit and hot cereals in the morning in addition to tea and coffee. The house is located 20 minutes away from downtown by bike. Kim and her home are the epitome of a fantastic Airbnb experience. "
2564741,28378450,2015-03-23,24525912,Paolo De Gregorio,"Kim is an impeccable host in her beautiful house, which is just ten minutes away by bike from Austin's East Side and 15 from downtown. The room and the bathroom (which was shared with other guests) were private and clean. Important extra for me, Kim has an extra bike for guests which I used every day. Kim is also a pleasure to chat with, so she deserves two thumbs up!"
2564741,28738886,2015-03-29,5135956,Todd,"Just to keep it short given her other positive reviews, Kim was a really great host  and I would definitely stay there again!  For those with a car, parking/getting around from her place was very easy."
2564741,29186111,2015-04-05,28070466,Angie,"Kim's emailed instructions were great and timely.  Her home was very welcoming and comfortable.  She left a binder of helpful info, which quickly answered all my questions.  The neighborhood is convenient to everything, quirky and has lots of great restaurants nearby whether you want locally owned dine-in places or late night chain drive thrus.  I really enjoyed my morning walks thru the neighborhood.  And definitely take time to see Kim's compact but mighty garden."

5270592,49636516,2015-10-05,11804314,Rhett,Sam was great! Arrival/Departure was easy and her place was perfect for the long weekend in Austin. The place is within 3 miles of downtown and is bike-able Zilker and S. Lamar restaurants. The kitchen has everything you need and the bedroom and living room are cozy.
5270592,49794712,2015-10-06,11804314,Rhett,Sam was great - great communication and the spot was just what we needed.
5270592,50640014,2015-10-13,27319218,Saffron,"We had a great time staying at Sam's apartment.  We were in town for Austin City Limits.  Her place was in a great location, near the festival grounds and close to restaurants and bars.  The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and spacious and located in a super cute apartment complex with lots of nature surrounding.  Sam was communicative and always easy to reach.  Would definitely recommend staying at her place!"
640259,2450170,2012-09-29,2972316,Rich,Great location on South Lamar close to music and other cool spots. Jenny is a warm and pleasant host. House is quiet in the evenings. 
640259,13598481,2014-06-01,1253507,Aaron,"Jenny was an excellent host.  Her house is quiet, centrally located and just a short walk from Barton Springs & restaurants/nightlife on South Lamar Street.  I liked the area so much I moved in to an apartment just a few blocks away!"
640259,15933662,2014-07-18,17841689,Jeremy,Very nice location and clean room. Jenny kept to herself and let me be as I pleased in her house. Great rate too and a lovely neighborhood.
640259,19774434,2014-09-18,5799561,Elynne,"Wonderful visit! Jenny is a perfectly lovely host who made me feel right at home. The place is in a great location for getting around town but in a quiet, residential area."
640259,20292087,2014-09-27,16794079,Jason,"Because I was at a film festival, I never actually met Jenny (I would get in very late and sleep until everyone had left for the day), but she was very understanding when I walked right through the room because I was exhausted and not making obvious connections very well that first night."

4637218,39104413,2015-07-20,38289069,Jenny,Sarah greeted us and made us feel welcomed right away.  Any questions we had during our stay were answered quickly.  The apartment was as advertised and convenient to everything we wanted to do while in Austin.  The complex was quiet and relaxed-exactly what we desired.  I'd book another stay at Sarah's in the future!
4637218,49769037,2015-10-06,30745112,Andrea,"Great cozy apartment! It was perfect for what we needed. Comfy bed, cool pull out couch and the location was everything. Perfect for Austin City Limits. It was about a $5 uber to the festival or a 25 minute walk which we did both quite easily. Also close to a lot of good places to eat and Lady Bird Lake on the far side of the festival. Loved this location and Sarah made it very easy and simple. Hoping this isn't booked for next year's festival! "
4637218,50618973,2015-10-13,7226047,Erin,"Sarah was communicative before our arrival and responded quickly if we had questions. The apartment was well described, tidy, cozy, and incredibly convenient. We walked to Zilker for ACL and were able to take a quick Uber to other Austin neighborhoods if needed. The area surrounding the apartment was quiet, safe, and residential. It was a great experience!"
2483577,10870590,2014-03-10,12789604,Tomer,"The Castle is a real home out of home.
We came for SXSW and had the best home feel luxury accommodation.
The most spoiling bedrooms (king+++) and bathrooms, 2 funky living rooms (with the nicest bar ever), lovely dining area, fun patio, bbq, charming fun garden in the nicest suburb of Austin.
The location is great, bus no 3 (5 min walk) direct into town which is in a short fun walking distance.
The rate was GREAT while Austin can be abusive during SXSW. 
The hosts are the nicest pleasant people we e-met in Austin, they really went out of them way to make sure we know everything and feel cozy - at home.
Thank you Hollye and Will we really appreciate, we'll never forget our time in your Castle."
2483577,11118657,2014-03-21,8821424,Colin,"The Castle was an awesome place to stay! I was with 3 friends. We didn't meet Hollye and Will, but they were really friendly and easy to communicate with. They left a bottle of wine for us in the kitchen and a nice welcome note with chocolates on every bed.  The home is spacious and has little decorating touches that add great style. It's in a very convenient location, a really safe area and walking distance to great restaurants, Zilker Park, and Barton Springs. We really enjoyed our stay.  "
2483577,21277343,2014-10-14,16870348,Kristen,"We had a wonderful weekend at the ""cozy castle"" in Austin. This was my first airbnb experience and it is going to be hard to top! The house itself was perfect--charming, dripping with character, spotless, well-equipped, and walking distance to what we came for (ACL music festival). Hollye and Will went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We were greeted with snacks and drinks and breakfast items. They gave us a tour of their lovely home and even offered the use of their bicycles! Hollye was great about checking in with me via text before and after our stay to see if we needed anything. We would recommend staying here to anyone!"
2483577,22943600,2014-11-18,19511001,Greg,"We had an incredible time staying at the Castle. The house is in an excellent location. Walking distance to great restaurants, Zilker, Barton Springs, and Alamo Drafthouse. A beautiful house, unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to enjoy the equally beautiful backyard. We didn't get to meet Hollye and Will in person, but it was very easy communicating with them. They were very quick to help us out with anything we needed. Hollye and Will were very generous hosts, making us feel extremely welcome in to their home. Would definitely recommend staying at the Castle."
2483577,23179532,2014-11-24,9647274,Steve,"My wife and I loved the Cozy Castle.  It is a wonderful, truly ""cozy"" home.  It looks just like the pics online.  the master bed is very comfortable and the master shower is big enough for two!  It is located off Lamar south of downtown, but only about a 5 minute drive to either downtown or South Congress.  We loved it so much we have already reserved it again!"
2483577,23348772,2014-11-29,9647274,Steve,my wife and i enjoyed our second trip to Hollye's lovely castleita!  We highly recommend it!
2483577,23449232,2014-12-01,2244177,Luke,"Great trip! The house is excellent - large, spacious, really nicely decorated and the beds are incredibly comfortable. We didn't meet Hollye in person, but she was very friendly and accommodating by text, and everything we needed was all taken care of. Check in and out were mega easy. Recommended!"
2483577,50650121,2015-10-13,20934208,Jessica,"We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay at the Cozy Castle! The listing was completely accurate and the house was well stocked with everything our group needed from sheets and towels to laundry facilities and ample bathroom space. 
Our hosts made sure we were taken care of every step of the way and were even kind enough to leave us a welcome gift when we arrived.
I would definitely stay here again, the house was BEAUTIFUL, so well decorated and so so so cool! Also we were well located for our visit to ACL Music Festival (easy walking distance) and in a safe neighborhood (I felt completely safe walking home by myself in the dark) with the nicest neighbors!

5 Stars for sure!!
"
2483577,51333232,2015-10-19,4804990,Gary,Probably the most enjoyable airbnb that we have stayed at and Hollye made life very easy.
8374310,52155370,2015-10-26,35156196,Niharika,"It was my first time with AirBnB so I didn't know what to expect. I was visiting Austin for the F1 Grand Prix and this was the closest to the airport and track venue. Matt and Kristene were really warm people and staying with them just felt like home. They have two cute dogs in the house. No strict house rules. The accommodation had everything I needed for the four day stay. I was their first guest n they were my first hosts, so the experience was really nice. Due to the nature of my work I couldn't get to see much of Austin, but Matt and Kristene are just happy to help with anything and that made my stay there easier. They are cool and easy going people to hang out with too. If you want a place that makes you feel like home n a fun set of hosts, this it. I totally recommend a stay at their house. The whole AirBnB experience is complete when the hosts are nice, n that's the case here. "
2437582,10930177,2014-03-13,2007585,Jason,"BEST Airbnb experience ever!  Megan was excellent with communication and her apartment was much better than advertised.  It was clean and spacious.  Her apartment has everything (kitchen, washer/dryer, and internet) and was also located only minutes from Downtown.  

Megan was also a top notch host and shared with me local spots for dining and nightlife.  She checked in making sure our stay in Austin was going well.  I would definitely stay in her apartment again and recommend to anyone else needing a place to stay in Austin.
"
7957247,48925445,2015-09-29,40723751,Adebola,"I really wasn't please with the apartment. When I got there, first I had to wait an hr for the owner's girlfriend to come and unlock the door and give me the key. When i got inside I felt enough wasn't done to make the place feel at home. It felt like people were in my way and I was the only one there.  No cleaning was done prior to my arrival. The host did send a cleaning lady to come clean up two days after arrival. There's no wifi here, which I failed to catch in the listing, but the host did have tmobile send a Hotspot device the very next day."
7957247,51406101,2015-10-19,13739066,Grace,Sami was super nice and very accommodating. He bought a brand new bottle of OJ for us and left it in the fridge + had bananas and CLIF bars for us for breakfast (even though he didn't stay - he intentionally left the whole place for us to be comfortable).
4208941,21317160,2014-10-14,22138238,Jeremy,"Amazing guy, helped us out in finding the best things to do around austin. Really convenient location right next to Zilker park and a short walk from downtown. Would definitely stay with him again."

4208941,22326202,2014-11-03,9770151,Apurva,"My friend and I had a nice experience staying here.  We were in Austin during the Formula 1 weekend, and the house was only a short cab/Uber ride away to downtown, where we caught the shuttle to Circuit of the Americas.  The room and house was very clean.  The host was very pleasant to interact with and I'd imagine he would be a great resource for a tourist.  Overall highly recommend."
4208941,22597459,2014-11-10,22379951,Matthew,"Jack's place was immaculate and perfect for what I was looking for - somewhere comfortable, safe and well-located to the center of Austin, music festival grounds and great restaurants. The room - and the whole apartment, for that matter - were spacious, clean and comfortable.

I couldn't have asked for a better first Airbnb experience, and I'll definitely hit up Jack again next time I'm looking to stay in Austin."
4208941,23588982,2014-12-05,23918095,Phill,"Jack was a great host, very welcoming and helpful. Gave me my privacy as required.

4208941,25530867,2015-01-18,13202834,Sana,"Jack is a wonderful and fantastic host and did everything he could to make me feel comfortable in the space. (Single female guest) This was my first time using airbnb and it will definitely not be my last. His apartment is so clean and cozy. It's nearby so many good restaurants and a beautiful park and short 5 minute drive into downtown. The location is great! He was kind enough to even pick me up from the bus stop! The bed is comfortable, there are touch lamps on each side on nightstands, plenty of  tables, closet space to hang garments. I felt safe and comfortable during my short stay! He has plenty of recommendations on where to dine, shop and visit nearby, a map of the Barton Spring trails. This host was extremely welcoming and anticipated my needs. Jack responded to emails quickly and was available to contact if I had any questions! Great host, would stay with again and definitely recommend to any one. "

4208941,26611837,2015-02-16,1320986,Wayne,"Great location! I really liked that it was right off the riverside pathway, and it was easy to get around by bike. The bedroom was exactly as promised, and Jack was a superb host -- and he didn't even get cranky when I accidentally locked him out of his place on the first night.  "
4208941,26882819,2015-02-21,10489870,Linda,"Jack was a fantastic host! He was very welcoming and even gave us all of the local hang outs off the beaten path. The room was clean and neat, everything we needed was there, towels, sheets, ceiling fan, netflix, wifi password, etc. 

The apartment itself was in an unbeatable location, on the main road in front of the building there are tons of restaurants and food trucks and the back of the building is right by Zilker park. There are austin city bikes right around the corner and the walk to downtown took about 10 minutes (biking took 5). I really dont know where I would have rather stayed during our visit! 

overall a perfect experience!"
4208941,26946939,2015-02-22,15617675,Richard,Jack was a great host. He made us feel very welcome in his apartment. The location is fantastic and very central. I highly recommend staying with him. 
4208941,27116479,2015-02-25,24006843,Dania,The host was amazing. I fell in love with the neighborhood because it is so close to the downtown area. The host provided clear instructions on how to access the apartment. The room looks exactly as pictured. The host was busy but still made time to say hello. Very friendly and I felt safe. It was my first Airbnb experience and it was great!
4208941,27298313,2015-03-01,14014080,Melissa,"Great neighborhood and location! My host was very accommodating, gave suggestions for local sights, and was more than hospitable. I highly recommend."
4208941,27587628,2015-03-08,2149413,Lisa,It was a wonderful experience staying with Jack. His place was immaculate and very chic. He was accommodating and facilitated a great first visit to Austin by providing a map and telling us about his favorite places. He allowed us privacy while still being very personable. The bed is more comfortable than our own at home! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend staying with him!
4208941,28782518,2015-03-30,18749918,Natha,"Jack was a very nice host, and very welcoming. He gave us good advices about the town. 
The room was really nice too, and the location very convenient to explore downtown or south Congress neighborhood. 
We had a great time in Austin !"
4208941,29220255,2015-04-05,16104807,Celia,Our host was friendly and welcoming. He was also extremely forgiving as we had lost his keys under his stove. The place was clean and close to downtown and South Congress. Would definitely recommend this host and location!
4208941,29676363,2015-04-11,28750908,John,"Listing description very accurate.  Neighborhood is interesting - a good quality brew pub is just a short walk.  Austin b-cycles are available nearby ($8/day) and that makes tooling around Austin easy.  If you want to get to 6th Street or South Congress you will be in for a good walk - so use the bike or Uber it.  The Park has some excellent trails to enjoy as well.  Host did a fine job of recommending locations that met my food, drink, and music wants.  Simple, comfortable surroundings.  Would certainly return."
4208941,30251656,2015-04-19,30983894,Ak,"As my first bnb stay, Jack was not only a great host but my overall experience was great!  I wasn't at the room much but it's a perfect place to crash out with my most comfy pillow I've EVER slept on(had cool décor too)! If you're looking for a quick bite, adult beverages or a sit down restaurant there are lots of places - walking distance -  to choose from! Again, the location was ideal - I didn't drive my car all weekend! See you next time I'm in town Jack!   "
4208941,30762830,2015-04-27,7745231,Ellie,"Jack's place was stylish and C L E A N... Cool collections of oddities on the walls, tidy and minimal yet very cozy... The place was also in a great location - we walked everywhere, the river is right there, so is Zilker park... I almost don't want to give a great review so I can go there all the time, haha! But, I will be fair and say - go, you will love it. Jack was a super nice host too, we became friends ( how can you not, he makes great old fashioned's:)
Thanks for everything Jack!"
4208941,31208846,2015-05-03,27777959,Jessica,"I stayed here for just two nights, but would definitely go back. The location is great (right by Barton Springs and a number of awesome food trucks) and Jack was really friendly and flexible in terms of our schedule."

The location of Jack's room is awesome. We could walk to Barton Springs and Zilker Park, and we were within walking distance of excellent eateries and even a craft brewery! "

The location was convenient for exploring South Austin and Zilker  Park. It was about a 25 minute walk to down town. We would definitely recommend staying at Jack's!
"
4208941,37243848,2015-07-05,5334458,Traci,"We loved our stay at Jack's place.  He was very welcoming, even texting me the day before our arrival to see if we wanted him to pick up anything from the market.  The place was super clean, and in a really convenient location.  It's definitely walking distance to Barton Springs and the Colorado River/Lady Bird Lake.  It's also located right next to a bunch of restaurants and even a brewery."

4208941,39227733,2015-07-21,4529575,Dougal,"Fantastic location within walking distance of the lake, public transport, restaurants and bars, can even walk to Downtown and Sixth. Jack was a very genial and welcoming host who made us feel comfortable and helped us have a fantastic time in Austin over five days.  Great bed, cool apartment, even a record player to listen if you have some downtime! My wife and I would definitely recommend Jack and would love to return to Austin again."
4208941,40648821,2015-08-01,6554566,Juliet,"I had an amazing time at this place. The location is wonderful, the apartment is on the first floor (easy for someone with heavy suitcases) and the host is fantastic. It was a great first week in Austin. He really helped me get acclimated to a city that will be my home for the next 3 months. He has great advice on food, drinks and things to do in town. I will be recommending his place to anyone that comes to Austin. "

There are also city bike stations nearby that make getting around simple. Jack also had great tips on things to do and places to eat. The room itself had plenty of space came with a TV hooked up to Netflix. Can't go wrong with this place. "
4208941,48436910,2015-09-26,5365215,Micah,Great place. Stayed here for just under a week. Was close to downtown and walking distance to a bunch hoc of great restaurants. Everything was clean and comfortable. Jack was very friendly and accommodating. He had a list of recommendations for us. Would recommend and stay again!

7699233,47444792,2015-09-18,9033651,Ricki,"Had a great experience! This was my husband and I's first AirBnb stay and thanks to Pedro and his wife we will continue to use airbnb. They were very welcoming with their home and use of things. The house was in a good location near downtown and different shopping areas in Austin. Pedro and his wife were both very helpful in local places and gave us plenty of options for dinner and how to get around. Also, their dogs were great to be around and were very sweet. Again, great experience and would recommend this to any of my friends traveling through Austin. "
7699233,47881988,2015-09-21,44179145,Brian,"Pedro and Claudia were great!  Pedro picked us up from the airport and was very friendly / made us feel at home.  

They had a nice room with air conditioning and plenty of chargers.  We easily fit 3.  

We didn't spend too much time in their specific area, but it was about a ~15 minute uber from downtown.  

FYI - they have a child and a couple dogs.  We loved it (dogs were very cute, and child was playful), but worth noting.  

Overall, I'd recommend this, especially if you'd like a kitchen to cook in and some accommodating locals to show you around! "
7699233,49707120,2015-10-05,44932116,Joseph,"My stay at Pedro's Place was just great. For starters, he is as nice a person as they come. His wife is also extremely nice/sweet. They have a couple of dogs...which are very well-mannered/friendly/clean. They will definitely lift your spirits as they're quite comical. My stay was only for a couple days (brief) but I'm so-glad to have met the Corsettis. I wish I would have been able to spend more time with them. They have a really great home...and the room I stayed was spacious, cool, clean-fresh, with a comfy bed the size of Texas! Pedro made some fantastic morning coffee to where we were able to talk and get to know each other a bit. It was a very pleasant stay with some really great people. They made me feel extremely welcomed...and better put...""like family."" Definitely a great find for Air BnB'ers..."
7699233,51095142,2015-10-17,35307710,Alison,"I didn't actually meet Pedro as we came in and out at different times.  He was very helpful on the phone when I was checking in, explaining how to get in, familiarize myself with the house and access the internet.  The house was fairly close to the highway, which made getting into Austin easy the next day.  The house felt a little more lived in than some others I've stayed in, perhaps in part because of the shared bathroom.  The room was simple with a comfortable bed.  There are two dogs, one that was big and tried to jump all over me.  It was sometimes a bit noisy between the dogs, baby and TV, not ideal if you're used to complete quiet when you're trying to sleep."

There was plenty of room for 4 people, it's a close walk to ACL and near a bunch of restaurants. The place is neat and tidy and truly gives a feel for the unique Austin lifestyle. Great place to stay if you are visiting with a small group. "

The Zilker neighborhood was beautiful, safe and historic.  There are several excellent restaurants/food trucks within a 15-min walk from the place, but note that public transit in this area is pretty mediocre (but a cab ride to/from downtown is only about 7 min, often less)."
4233382,22286789,2014-11-02,11525304,Stefan,Lauren was an excellent host. Very nice and helpfull. She responded very quick to my messages and she was a pleasure to conversate with.

The condo is super private, with a nice patio behind shrubbery, kitchen with large fridge - even had dog dishes out if they were needed, plenty of towels, comfortable bed. Very adequate, good value! This will be my first choice for all future trips to Austin!"

Cleaniness was a 3/5 stars and condo is pretty bare bones but it has the necessities for a comfortable night sleep and to shower up after a long day in the sun. If you need just a place to crash at night and not much else, this is a good spot for you."
8209624,50671342,2015-10-13,44544421,Nimrah,"Yes, good neighborhood and location"
8209624,51797691,2015-10-24,44615712,Carlos P.,The house was exactly as pictured. All the basics that you need it. If you are looking for a place to stay during the night the place was perfect. As me and my friends expend the hole day outside and just came back for sleep.
8209624,52088721,2015-10-26,44619459,Cisco,Condo worked out great for my trip. Nice accommodations and quick Uber/lyft ride to downtown area.
8209624,52612593,2015-10-31,20945254,Chris,This place was perfect for what we needed.  Would definitely stay again. 
8209624,52778601,2015-11-01,28070916,Julie,Great place to stay while in Austin. Very convenient to get downtown and back. We used Lyft and the bus line with no problems at all. Great neighborhood and the place is very clean & comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. 
7868484,47807284,2015-09-21,19643776,Stephen,We had a great stay at this newly renovated house. Plenty of room for 3 couples. The location was perfect right off South Lamar with easy access to downtown. Check in was a breeze. Would absolutely stay here again!
2174026,28378968,2015-03-23,5375575,Harley,"Spent a wonderful week at Erica and Patrick's East Austin house with my two friends. 

The house is in a perfect location - one street away from E. Cesar Chavez Street full of food places, including 'Friends & Neighbors', a great café which was perfect for our morning caffeine needs (there's also a lovely vintage shop there too). We were about a 15-minute walk away from all the fun on E. 6th Street - which was perfect for our SXSW needs! 

The house is spacious and beautifully decorated - filled with interesting things, not to mention the amazing record collection! There is a lovely porch out the back which is great to sit and relax. 

We cannot recommend this place enough. Erica was a wonderful host - she answered all our questions promptly and in detail before we arrived and also throughout the duration of our stay. She gave us lots of great tips and advice about the area and nothing was too much trouble if we needed anything. 

We felt so relaxed and comfortable here and will definitely be back to stay as there is still so much of Austin that we've yet to see. 

Thank you Erica! "
7322396,49677933,2015-10-05,2512125,Shahrzad,"Sara is an amazing host and has a beautiful home! We felt very welcome, comfortable, and happy that we stayed with her. The bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen were spotless, the bathroom had the most heavenly soaps, a thermostat was nearby which we were free to adjust, and everything felt like home. We got a chance to talk a couple times and only wish we had more time to spend with her! Thanks so much for taking good care of us, Sara!"
7322396,50738056,2015-10-13,33995178,Thomas,The host canceled this reservation 9 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8497940,50799992,2015-10-14,19217911,Rishidev,"I booked Sara's place for my visiting parents. It's great: very comfortable, spotlessly clean and well-located, and everything was brand new. And Sara did an excellent job of settling my parents in and making them feel welcome. We'll be back!"
8497940,51355080,2015-10-19,45402910,Elizabeth,"My husband and I had a great experience- Sara was extremely friendly and communication was prompt. The apartment was cute and comfortable and the host provided any amenities one would need for a multi-day stay. We really enjoyed the neighborhood! It was walkable and in a great location. Don't miss out on grabbing a latte and croissant from the neighborhood bakery, Quacks, on 43rd Street. 
 "
8497940,52609535,2015-10-31,28201450,Lauren,"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at this cute little studio! The place was clean, well furnished, and fully equipped with everyday household items. The location is great too-- not too far from downtown and is walking distance to some great restaurants and cafes. Would definitely recommend!"
8497940,53092932,2015-11-04,182826,Christine,Great location!  Apartment was well appointed and welcoming.  Stocked with everything you need for your stay.  Sara responded quickly and gave me all the info I needed.  Enthusiastically recommend  that you consider staying here.  I plan to when I return to Austin.
1742647,10997738,2014-03-17,9311202,James,Apartment was exactly what we needed and in a great location (walking distance to downtown). Dwight was a polite and helpful host. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to attend events in downtown Austin.
1742647,20829551,2014-10-06,2916448,Gabriel,"Excellent host! Great location, really close to downtown."
1742647,22234765,2014-11-02,14330802,Judy,"Nice quiet room, very comfortable beds, great location, great price!"

1742647,48343433,2015-09-25,25149346,Robert,"Mr. Monteith met me when I arrived.  Friendly and interesting.  Made me feel welcome.  Showed me around the premises and told me how to get around by walking, public transportation etc.
We hit it right off.  We have a lot in common, both being electrical engineers and sharing other interests as well.
I have stayed at Airbnb rooms before but always on pleasure trips.  This was the first time I tried on a business trip.
Felt like I was staying at a friend's home, while that friend was mostly away."
1742647,49454193,2015-10-04,41432639,Alanna,"It was my first time using airbnb, I was a little put off when I mapped the address provided for the first time upon landing at the airport and it showed up on a warehouse like building with 'Sex Addicts Anonymous' as the marker. Turned out, he isn't using the actual house address so made more sense once we found the place. 

The location was good, easy to walk to other places. It was clean but I found the bed super uncomfortable and the shower tiny and built for little people. "
1742647,50289511,2015-10-11,36894929,Jacqueline,"D is a courteous host, easy to get in contact with but stays out of your way. The location is great, really close to downtown Austin and not too far from the airport. The room is nice, roomy and clean, just be prepared for a very tiny shower."
1742647,52184003,2015-10-26,15088158,Scott,"Host was AWESOME!  Location was amazing!  Room was good bargain, funky cool..."
78269,200007,2011-03-15,420512,Gabriel,She was a great hostess. Very hospitable and nice.
78269,205940,2011-03-21,33722,Rigo,"Hope was a great host over the phone. 
Her space was well thought out and left us intrigued as we inhabited the room with nerf gun decor. Thank you hope we will be back next year!"
78269,348369,2011-07-02,703776,Allyssa,"Hope was a wonderful host! My boyfriend and I came into the place and it was totally clean and very comfortable. She even left the most delicious cookies for us! The air conditioning was a nice refuge from the summer heat. I also LOVED that the apartment was a 2 minute walk away from a Starbucks, a grocery store, and a bunch of great restaurants. And it was close to a couple bus stops. Very convenient location. There is also a great kitchen with everything you need to make a yummy meal. 

Hope wasn't around much - though we did get to meet her and she was extraordinarily sweet and welcoming. I would definitely stay again, and I would recommend the place to any friends or family visiting Austin! :]"
78269,414924,2011-08-02,537351,Jeffrey,He house was amazing there were two pools and local grocery stores were really close. I had an very enjoyable visit and I also enjoyed the treats that hope made they were very yummy! I would def visit again
78269,1463548,2012-06-11,2472838,Faby,"Me and my  husband got staying with Hope`s house was our first time trought  BNB ,so we didnt know what to expect.
we were greeted by her dog Whim . (very sweet dog)
over all we had good stay ,she even got extra blankets and toys for kids,books to read..
we felt safe there nice neighborhood  a lot of stores and restaurants within a distance  very nice for shopping."
78269,2629630,2012-10-16,3364331,Mary,This location is AWESOME for ACL. Hope is also really nice. Would stay here again if I came back to Austin.
78269,2693710,2012-10-22,3922324,Katie,My friend and I came by Saturday evening with no definite time frame and Hope was really very flexible and amenable to our sporadic schedule. She was easy to get ahold of and very friendly-though we never actually saw each other. Her apartment was clean and her dog was adorable!
78269,3959853,2013-03-31,4871676,Kathy,Tell others in the Airbnb community about your stay.
78269,11014733,2014-03-17,12145004,Paulo,"In Austin for SXSW this year. It was really staying at Hope's house; she was really friendly and helpful. Nice and big room, with everything we need. The place is well located, lots off shops and eating places in the neighbor. "
78269,17275978,2014-08-10,16107211,Benjamin,"I loved the place, the location is great, Hope is really nice person she isn't always around but when she is it really nice to talk to her. I would stay there again if I have the chance. There are many stores and restaurants around the house (target, sprouts, Starbucks, Chinese food, etc.) 

Don't hesitate, great place in one of the best locations of Austin.

"
78269,21294680,2014-10-14,15767872,Melissa,"We were very happy to stay with Hope and her son on rather short notice for ACL Fest. She was located within two mile of Zilker Park which was a great location for us to get around without getting stuck in the festival traffic! The room was exactly as described and had wonderfully comfortable mattresses and linens.  We only saw Hope a couple times, but she made us feel very at home!  Her dog Whim was lovable and probably one of the most chilled out dogs I've ever met.  We will definitely see if Hope has space available for us next time we visit Austin! "
78269,33281801,2015-05-26,32005155,Bimpe,Hope was as great host. She had fruits and snacks available and premises were clean and quiet..location of her place was close to shops and downtown so it wasn't difficult to get around.. overall we had a great stay and won't mind staying with her the next time we visit Austin
78269,49055852,2015-09-30,44459242,Federico,"Hope it was a great person and she makes as feel great. Her house is very comfy and nice. We felt like be at home. The neighborhood was really nice, has a lot of shop, coffee´s shop and great place to spend the time. The room and the bathroom was very clean and comfy. I hope back soon to Austin and back to Hope´s home.    "
78269,50467499,2015-10-12,6823592,Michelle,Hope's home was THE perfect location for ACL and Austin in general. Nearby eating places and shops too. Bus stop was just a stone throw away and less that a 10 min ride to the the park. The room was extremely comfortable with its own bathroom as described.  We arrived to find a welcome basket full snacks!! I would definitely look out for Hope's place again if I return.
319716,2631420,2012-10-16,2466345,Kevin,"I decided a little late to attend the ACL Music Festival in mid-October, 2012.  Once I committed, I needed to find a place to stay.  I didn't want to rent a car, so it needed to be within walking distance of the festival, shopping, and dining.  It also needed to be somewhat affordable.  In the area I was looking at, there was not much left except $300-400 hotel rooms.  Luckily I found Kristin's apartment and it fit the bill 100%.

There are several restaurants nearby, plus a large grocery store.  Everything I needed was within a 15 minute walk.  The apartment itself is not large, but for one or two people that need a place to sleep after a long day in Austin, it's just fine.  It is near a busy city street, so expect to hear some traffic noise and sirens.  I also awoke once or twice early in the morning to some loud activity in the business park next door.  These things don't bother me, but others might be sensitive to it.

Kristin was easy to reach if I had a question.  My overall experience was very positive.  If I decide to attend ACL next year I'll definitely check to see if the apartment is available."
319716,3832293,2013-03-19,205736,Tod,"Kristin is a wonderful host - welcoming and caring.  Her place is fantastic!  Blocks from the biggest Whole Foods in the Universe, it is a a great comfortable place to stay in Austin to feel like a native.  Walking distance to everywhere I wanted to go in Austin.  I will definitely stay here again!"
319716,4458901,2013-05-06,207923,Yasamin,"Great apartment! Very nicely decorated! Great location and the host was even better! She was very accommodating and was very helpful in where to go around town. Location was right on 6th street close to the whole foods!

"
319716,4638205,2013-05-17,858273,Terry,"This is a great place located on the west — ""less dirty"" as one local described it — side of 6th Street, but South 6th the dirty (meaning more club, bar, homeless person, party happy, convention hotel) side is about a 25 not difficult minutes walk away. Much closer by, within a couple of blocks, is the mothership of Whole Foods, also an awesome place to eat; an REI next door; and several other places to eat and shop, all within walking distance if you're on foot, as I was. Also close is access to the running/walking trails that circle Lady Bird/Town Lake. If you're a runner, bring your shoes. Cabs are scarce on this side of 6th. You'll need a number handy in your phone if you need to cab. (All the cab companies in Austin tend to get bad reviews in Yelp, etc., but I used Austin Cab with no probs, and they use Square.)

This is a first floor apartment in a small complex right on 6th street with a coded security gate. It was clean and neat and the cable, wireless, AC, and hot water all worked fine and getting in and out was not problem. There's an equipped kitchen I did not use and a washer/drier. Kristin answered all my questions and communicated well. 6th Street has quite a bit of traffic and, as with a city apartment, you could sometimes hear traffic noise in the living area, but it didn't make its way so much back to the bedroom, which is in the back of the unit. I had no problems sleeping. 

Overall a nice place and experience, and it certainly beat paying several hundred a night for downtown Austin hotel room."
319716,10956845,2014-03-15,11339105,Nicolas,"I had a great experience at Kristin's apartment. Very cozy, neat and well located. Good for SXSW - 20 minute walk to Austin Convention Center. Kristin was always very kind and helpful. "
319716,28168520,2015-03-19,989333,Michael,Great space for SXSW. It was a short Uber ride to the heart of the festivities. I chose to use Uber vs walk because it was ~$5 with Uberpool. I liked how it was quieter compared to the craziness of the festival. Would definitely recommend. 
2524101,28144620,2015-03-18,743874,Molly,"Laura is extremely friendly and welcoming. She offered me a ride when I needed it, and even picked me up from downtown one evening. The house is very neat and I would return again."
2524101,28273894,2015-03-21,28322562,Milo,"Laura is very welcoming, she has a lot of energy and a good sense of humour. The room is clean, and spacious. The house has many cute dogs who are all extremely friendly and extremely cute. Did I mention how cute the dogs are? Overall it was a great experience, both sean and laura are fantastic people and I had a wonderful time. "
2524101,29957636,2015-04-14,30091558,Nick,"Great room in a nice clean house. Laura and Sean both extremely friendly and welcoming. The house is around 15 mins away from Downtown via cab (approx $20). Room lovely and exactly as shown with use of a nice clean bathroom right beside it. Laura and Sean could not have done enough - ensuring I had soap, towels and all necessities.  Some lovely and cute dogs running around who were also very friendly. My phone had died and Laura very, very kindly lent me hers when I was going out so I could have an emergency - thank you :o))))) House is in a nice suburb so you don't have any noise. Austin's a great city and  the location Laura and Sean, as the first people you may meet, are certainly fantastically representative of what a friendly place Austin can be. "
323733,1043073,2012-03-26,813084,Jen,"Erik's loft is sweeping, modern, and comfortable. The photographs on the site are great, but they don't do the place justice: its sweeping details, granite countertops, and colorful accents are truly extraordinary. Five people can stay here comfortably. 

Not only is the space fantastic, but the location can't be beat. Two of my favorite culinary discoveries of Austin - Taco Shack and Max's Wine Dive - are literally across the street from the apartment. 

Erik is also a fantastic host. He provided us with a list of all of his favorite downtown haunts, and he was very accommodating when our flights were delayed and we had to adjust our check-in times. 

I would definitely stay in this loft again!"
323733,2159380,2012-09-01,2834339,Jan,This is a super location and a great building.  The facilities made us feel right at home.  We could walk almost everywhere.  Close enough to all the fun and craziness of 6th street while being far enough away to not hear it.  Two adults and two kids were a bit snug but it worked for us.  
323733,2178771,2012-09-03,2971465,Megan,"Erik and Crystal were amazing hostesses and such kind people. I held my sister bachelorette party here and it was the perfect setting. There was plenty of room for all 8 girls and all our stuff. The condo was in perfect condition and very clean. Extra pillows, sheets, blow up mattresses, and towels were available as well as anything you might need in the kitchen. Erik and Crystal's condo is perfect distance from all the downtown sites, eats, and bars you can think of. I would stay here again, no question about it.  "
323733,2300430,2012-09-17,933956,Daniel,This place was great! It was so close to everything and was big and spacious. We had a great time and Erik was only too willing to help with anything we needed. Thanks Erik. 
323733,2359652,2012-09-21,2928861,Brian,"I stayed at Erik's loft while attending a conference at the convention center and couldn't have been happier.  The loft, itself, was fantastic ... it was exactly like the photos show it to be.  Plus, you can't beat the location: a block and a half away from the convention center; 2 blocks away from all the bars and restaurants on 6th Street; about 2 blocks away from the river and a great walking/running trail.

This loft will be my top choice to stay each time I return to Austin.  Thanks Erik!"
323733,2446291,2012-09-29,3308145,Rachel,"Erik was a fantastic host, provided plenty of information about the area and made himself available for questions.  The apartment itself is lovely and the location couldn't be better.  It's near 6th St (but not noisy), close to the convention center and public transportation.  I highly recommend staying here! "
323733,2482086,2012-10-02,2980479,Jennifer,"This was the perfect place for us to stay as a group of five. The parking was convenient and even though the weather was a little too cool and rainy to use it during our stay, the shared pool was lovely. We really appreciated all of the little details the host considered. We would definitely stay again!"
323733,2537413,2012-10-08,3239540,Joshua,The loft was great!  A nice space that was plenty for 3 people. I'm not sure the location could be any better.  We walked to everywhere we needed to be with a majority of those walks being 5 minutes or less.  I will definitely consider the loft again on my next trip to Austin.
323733,2639001,2012-10-17,2205469,Mary Beth,"We had a great week staying at Erik and Crystal's during ACL! The location was perfect--in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to a lot of  excellent bars, restaurants, and clubs. 

The loft is attractive, spacious, and clean. Even though only two of us stayed in the loft, it can easily fit more. Having a fully stocked kitchen (appliances, plates, etc.) and a washer/dryer was so convenient, as was the free internet.  

I felt safe staying at, coming to and leaving from the complex--it is completely secure. It also has a very nice swimming pool and an available parking space.  

Erik couldn't have been more gracious; he gave us tips on places to go and fun things to do. He worked with our travel schedules, and made sure we had the right information far in advance so our trip went smoothly. He was also 100% available if we had questions and/or needed anything.

It was a great time, and I am so glad we stayed at their loft! Highly recommended!"
323733,2695316,2012-10-23,3238243,Nick,"Didn't know what to expect, first time using airbnb. Place was great. Incredibly clean, with anything and everything you would ever need. Erik was in touch with any questions I had, and replied to emails within minutes. I highly recommend for any Austin getaway. "
323733,2759226,2012-10-30,1991977,Scott,Erik and his loft were great.  His provided area guide was useful and the check-in instructions were clear.  The location was ideal for our six member group attending a comic con at the convention center two blocks away.  The level of accommodation went well beyond our expectations.  Everything was very clean and the neighbors were friendly.  This was my first use of airbnb and hope all my future experiences are as pleasant.
323733,2777305,2012-11-01,2960325,Erin,See our other review - the place was so great we booked it twice!! =)  
323733,2784782,2012-11-02,2960325,Erin,"Our stay was great!  The loft is spacious, clean and modern. And the location cannot be beat! One block from the Airport Bus ($1!), 2 blocks from Congress, 2 blocks from 6th Street - just a great base for our Austin adventures. Erik went above and beyond with communication when we booked, and gave us all the information we needed to have a wonderful stay.  "
323733,2865279,2012-11-12,1380783,Swati,"We had a great time at this loft. The location can't be beat and the space was clean and cozy and fit six of us very comfortably. Erik and Crystal provided everything we could need. It's a couple of blocks from 6th street and pretty convenient to everything! Around the corner is Fogo's and Max's, and it's a few blocks from the capitol! Awesome place to stay! We'll definitely stay here again!"
323733,2925201,2012-11-20,842565,Adrian,"We rented for a whole week, it was excellent. The location is very central, the apartment was clean and well equipped and Erik was very helpful and responsive. We hope to stay there again. The only caution I would have is for people with disabilities, there are two flights of stairs to get to the front door, and a steep spiral staircase to get to the second bedroom loft area. This was fine for us, but something to consider."
323733,3040358,2012-12-08,2539473,David,"Erik's condo is in a fantastic location downtown Austin.

For tourists, you're close to a variety of TexMex and fine dining options, & plenty of bars (without being too close).  

For business visitors, it's 2 blocks from the convention center, without any of the hotel nonsense.  Can't beat it.

Other notes:
• The condo is smashingly close to the lake trail, perfect for runs.  
• The WiFi is rather slow, be prepared."
323733,3424992,2013-01-28,4168309,Austina,"We had 2 young kids  (1 &4 yrs) staying at Erik's place. The total is 4 people!. The older girl stay upstairs... she loves the spiral staircase. The youngest, stayed with us in a crib downstairs. Erik was very accommodating by removing as much baby dangerous items as possible. Although it was not completely baby safe, it was a fair accommodation. To prevent the youngest from climbing the spiral staircase, we made a gate using a cardboard sheet, strings, and a clip to attached to the stairs rail. It worked. The location was awesome! I selected the location because it was walking distant to my husband's work. And also it was significantly cheaper than staying at a corporate housing that the company was offering. [We had a relocation allowance, if we go over we pay out of pocket]. I would recommend this place to visitors, families, and relocated people."
323733,3517768,2013-02-11,4813277,Lisa,"Had a great week in Austin.  The apartment was lovely and very comfortable with great supplies etc.  I was working there and it was just minutes from the convention centre.  Had some time to explore too and the location was great for bars, restaurants, shops and sight-seeing.  Erik was very helpful and quick to respond.  Couldn't have asked for more from our stay."
323733,3566089,2013-02-18,3252788,Jo,"Erik was such a great host and his place was amazing. The loft was right next to a lot of amazing restaurants and bars and is easily walkable to visit the State Capitol or UT. I must have e-mailed him back and forth 20 times and he was always cordial and timely in his responses. Definitely staying here again for our next trip to Austin. 

"
323733,3645909,2013-02-27,4200536,Alissa,Stayed at Erik's place for over a week and it was perfect! It was just steps away from the convention center which made it the ideal location for us. Checking in and out was a breeze and Erik was easy to reach and friendly.  Thanks so much!
323733,3691642,2013-03-04,2763016,Benjamin,"Erik's place was just wonderful - a great location in the heart of Austin, with ample room for everyone in our party. The loft itself was charming, clean, and just as described in the profile. Erik was a great host - and while we weren't able to meet him in person due to unusual check in/check out times, he was very prompt in communicating, gave us great info about Austin,  and responded quickly to our requests. We would gladly stay here again!"
323733,3803645,2013-03-17,4197726,Peter,"Great place, perfect location and superb hosts! Definite thumbs up for this one. We had a great stay, and would like to come back in the future. 

"
323733,4043229,2013-04-05,5039623,Rosh,"Erik was great!

He provided me with all the necessary information and for a first time user of AirBnB it was such an easy and hassle free process!

The house itself was amazing! perfect location and was really funky! 

We could have not have asked for anything else!

323733,4096960,2013-04-09,1772523,Polina,"Great location, well-decorated space, and very friendly, helpful hosts! "
323733,4164143,2013-04-15,234475,John,"Fantastic location for downtown access.  Accommodations were basic, but comfortable and clean.  The main room was a bit tight for four people, but it worked, Hosts were very responsive overall.  BUT - The only way to lock the door from either the inside or out was with a key.  DANGEROUS in emergencies, and inconvenient at best since there weren't enough keys for each of our party to have one.  A bat got in through the loft vent on the 2nd night there, and all hell broke loose.  Owner is a good person and will probably fix the lock issue, but I'd make sure before I committed to staying there."
323733,4419245,2013-05-04,2093413,Jan,"This is a great central location to stay in Austin. Walking distance to good food, the convention center, and many convention hotels. Very quiet for being right in the middle of the city. All the conveniences of an apartment with a big kitchen. Erik makes it easy to check in and out with a key lock system, so we never got to meet him - but he checked with us by text to make sure all was well. Be ready to climb some stairs - it is good for you! "
323733,4509203,2013-05-09,1216974,Alex,"A great apartment in a perfect location! I stayed with a colleague while attending a convention, and I couldn't have asked for a more convenient spot. Though we didn't meet in person, the owners were very gracious and attentive hosts. "
323733,4675294,2013-05-20,2799303,Tina,"Erik's place downtown was wonderfully located to many wonderful restaurants and bars.  It is fairly easy to navigate by car, as long as you can figure Austin's streets.  Having parking was great!  They also had many perks that were really nice and convenient.  I look forward to staying again!"
323733,4830921,2013-05-28,5440849,Carrie,"We had a great long weekend at Erik's condo!  To start with, Erik is a great communicator and send us very detailed directions for getting the key (we didn't meet).  The condo is central to everything and one block away from the airport shuttle which made our weekend very convenient.  The condo was nice and clean.  I would stay here again!"
323733,5033300,2013-06-09,5306145,Michael,My family had a great time staying at this lovely loft.  The location is great for accessing downtown Austin.  The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable after a day of roaming around.  
323733,5327998,2013-06-24,6879186,Jessica,I decided to stay at Erik's condo because it was for my friend's birthday and close to 6th st. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to be close to everything Austin has to offer. Erik was always available whenever I had a question and the condo was more than I expected.
323733,6124189,2013-07-31,4910429,Ken,"If you're considering a stay in downtown Austin STOP, don't look anywhere else!  Erik and Crystal are great hosts!  When his 1yr old AC unit unexpectedly broke down Erik managed the repairs from his vacation in Germany!  You can't ask for better service!  

My wife and I stayed in the loft during my one month internship in Austin with three boys (7, 4, and 1.5 yrs old).  The loft was spacious enought for our one month stay and the pool provided a great way to wear the kids out for bed-time.  Overall our time in Austin was wonderful due in large part to our stay here and the hospitality shown to us by Erik and Crystal."
323733,6364592,2013-08-10,2718472,Carlo,"This loft was very clean and pleasant, and most of all was quiet during our entire 5 night stay. When we return to Austin I reckon we would gladly stay here again. It has 1 br, kitchen, bath & dining room downstairs, and a spacious double bed loft upstairs. The air con worked well the entire time. There are a few flights of stairs up to the apartment but this was no issue for us. Cheers."
323733,6707229,2013-08-22,6674247,James,"We had a wonderful trip and every part of the experience staying with Erik and Crystal!

We checked in alone but were immediately made to feel welcome with a note and some Shiner. The apartment was very clean and well presented with everything we could possibly need.

Erik was very easy to deal with and the communication was excellent. We will definitely be visiting again next time in Austin. First class experience!"
323733,6825345,2013-08-26,963312,Ali,"Stayed at Erik's place downtown Austin. Great location, place was very clean and accommodating. All my group was impressed. Thanks Erik!"
323733,7011553,2013-09-03,6713961,A,"Great first experience with airbnb! I will definitely stay at Erik & Crystal's place any time I am visiting Austin in the future. The place was very nice and clean, with towels, beds made, coffee, shampoo/conditioner, and everything we could want for all of our guests. I had several questions and Erik would answer within minutes whenever I emailed him. On top of all that, the location is fantastic and the price is better than hotels in the area. I definitely recommend staying at their place if you're visiting Austin!"
323733,7197890,2013-09-10,1655640,Alexis,"Erik and Crystal have an adorable, perfectly placed apartment. I had SUCH a blast with my friends in Austin! 

Not only did we have everything we needed  - shampoo, soap, towels clean sheets, etc - they also left wine and coffee and an excellent guide to the city.

I highly suggest their apartment for your trip to Austin! Erik and Crystal are exemplary hosts."
323733,7322705,2013-09-16,5506943,Patrick,Perfect location and nice home. Eric and Crystal were extremely helpful and reliable. Would recommend to anyone traveling to Austin. The pool in the complex was an added perk. 
323733,7545527,2013-09-24,5791145,Sharon,"Staying at Erik and Crystal's was great! Their condo was perfect for our needs-- clean, spacious and really close to 6th street! They even left us a welcome bottom of wine!

Erik and Crystal were very helpful and provided us a range of restaurant, bar, and activity suggestions.  They were extremely responsive and answered all of our questions. They were also very flexible and accommodated our schedule perfectly!

In short, it was the perfect first AirBNB experience!
"
323733,7704313,2013-09-30,8467109,Tom,"Great spot! Well stocked, spacious, and located close to the fun. It made our first Airbnb experience a great one. The sad part was having to leave. (Did manage to compare it to a few spots that friends were staying in Austin and we felt like we lucked out. Thanks!) "
323733,7913640,2013-10-08,3789130,Danielle,"This was the PERFECT place for me and my 4 friends.  We stayed here during the first ACL weekend.  I still can't get over the location.  It is right in the center of it all.  And it just so happened that the ACL shuttle was only 4 blocks from the apt.  The house is clean, they have everything you could need!  There was even a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived, which was the perfect touch after a long day of travelling.  Would definitely stay there again WHEN I return to Austin :) "
323733,8298401,2013-10-24,243419,Patrick,We just spent three great days in Austin on business. Our stay at Erik and Crystal's was nothing short of perfect. Their condo location is central to almost everything you would want to do in Austin. We walked everywhere. Erik has the check in and out process set up to be painless and convenient. The condo had everything we needed to be comfortable. Erik's suggestions about food and things to do were spot on.I will have to be back in Austin again for more work and will definitely contact Erik and Crystal to stay in their place.
323733,8687983,2013-11-12,8882055,Christa And Levi,"This place was great, Eric and Crystal made everything very easy. They were very communicative and easy to contact.
Location was wondeful, amid all the downtown nightlife, close walk to the capitol building and all sorts of other exciting stuff! 
If you are looking for a place to stay for Fun Fun Fun Fest or any other Auditorium Shores Events, it is only a 10 min walk. Had a great stay!"
323733,8755902,2013-11-16,6089315,Teresa,"The apartment was clean and well appointed, with all of the amenities a working girl could want for a week long business trip - super speedy wifi, ample closet space and locally-roasted coffee just a block away. AND a hot yoga studio and juice bar across the street to balance out the late hours spent entertaining clients and at events. Erik was incredibly responsive and accommodating and provided excellent directions at check-in. Overall a great first airbnb experience!"
323733,8811651,2013-11-19,6618778,Heather,"Erik and Crystal were quite generous hosts! Completing the arrangements was simple and communication, a breeze.

323733,8966102,2013-11-29,6854134,Elizabeth,"Erik and Crystal's apartment is in a great location for exploring the sights and sounds of Austin. Erik was easily contactable and the system in place to manage the check in and check out was extremely smooth. The apartment itself was clean, spacious enough for two couples and had great homely touches like washing powder, coffee and there was even a bottle of wine for us to enjoy when we arrived. Recommended property!"
323733,9216006,2013-12-14,10195487,Jonathan,"It was fine. Clean, nicely furnished, and even a bottle of wine waiting for me,"
323733,9518269,2014-01-01,9358040,Jane,"The 4th St. Loft in Downtown Austin was the perfect vacation spot for our family.  The loft was located right in the heart of the city.  Erik and Crystal were the perfect hosts, they even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy.  We will definitely stay at the loft again next time we are in Austin! "
323733,10997959,2014-03-17,9554567,Kevin,Erik and Crystal were amazing hosts. Communication was very quick and responsive. The loft was well stocked and ready for us. The location was perfect and I would stay here any time I'm back in Austin.
323733,11552529,2014-04-07,1777442,Nicholas,"This is a comfortable, nicely decorated loft in a prime downtown location, walkable to many of Austin's great restaurants, music venues, and nightlife destinations.  We had a great time.  Erik and Crystal were very accessible hosts and made the check-in/check-out process super easy.  I endorse and recommend this beautiful spot. "
323733,11880501,2014-04-18,9015320,Graham,"If your looking for a great apartment in a great location, this is the place. Apartment was perfect for us, it had everything we required. Easy check in, easy to get to and from the airport. Apartment was clean, with all the amenities to make the perfect home from home. Erik and Crystal even left us some beers and food, for our arrival. From the initial contact with the Erik and Crystal , to our departure, everything was spot on. 10 out of 10. "
323733,12125325,2014-04-23,10916899,Andrew,"The place was fantastic, very comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect.  Would highly recommend."
323733,12267641,2014-04-28,4670347,Eleanor,"The 4th Street Loft was a great place to stay.  It is really central and accessible to everything, especially the Convention Center, which is why we chose it (four of us stayed there).  You could hear some noise at night, but you're pretty protected from it inside and it didn't wake us up.  The keyless entry and exit is a real plus, especially if you have several people staying there.  It avoids all that fuss about who has the key, etc.  The place is great--clean, attractive, and with a workable layout for several guests.  The master bedroom is spacious and has a desk for working and the couch folds out to accommodate up to two people.  There's a table in the living room that's great for both eating and working.  The loft has a huge bed and great space, though it can get a bit hot up there.  There is just one bathroom, if that matters to you, but we didn't find that inconvenient. The only downside was a somewhat iffy internet connection for the building, but with smart devices we mostly circumvented that.  I recommend this place!

As for the hosts, they are just terrific:  they send out a wonderful ""packet"" of information for the rental, complete with restaurants, coffee houses, and places to go (I tried several of their suggestions, happily).  They are also really easy and nice to deal with."
323733,12548280,2014-05-05,12037478,Shawna,"I have nothing but good things to say about our stay at Erik and Crystal's loft.  The location was ideal for a girls weekend of exploring the city and the accommodations were wonderful.  We had a group of 5 and fit comfortably into the space.  The loft was clean, comfortable, and exactly what we were looking for. Erik was extremely responsive to email (within minutes) and provided us a nicely organized sheet of information for check-in/ out, parking, restaurant recommendations, ect.  I would highly recommend this loft for your stay in Austin!"
323733,13135402,2014-05-20,10292072,Debra,"We three loved the clean, comfortable loft of Erik and Crystal.  How nice it was to have a bottle of wine left by our hosts for us.  Location is perfect for exploring downtown Austin, easy walk to Ladybird Lake, capitol, dining, music. Loved having coffee provided too. The bus from the airport to the loft, $1.50!  Took bus out to the Broken Spoke for a super fun night of dancing the 2 step, dresses & cowboy boots YEE HA!  Thanks for your prompt and clear communication with us when we had a question.  A great place to stay."
323733,13405691,2014-05-27,712211,Kim,"Erik & Crystal were great. Super responsive before, during & after the rental. The loft was fantastic and centrally located. A couple of our favorite things about it:

1) Location
2) Plenty of linens & such.
3) Lots of basics. I.e. when you rent an apartment you don't want to have to buy a whole thing of cooking spray or salt. They had lots of the basics that you would need to cook ((website hidden) spray, coffee, coffee filters, tea bags, sweeteners, salt & pepper and some other spices, etc etc). They also had a whole bunch of the hotel shampoos/conditioners/soaps etc (check the drawers in the bathroom).
4) Air conditioning worked well.
5) Ironing board, iron, hangers..etc. We were there for a wedding weekend…so all of these appliances made looking good possible :)
6) Flexible on check and check out time which was awesome since we had a late flight out. Also, we ended up coming a day early and since there was no one staying there, we were able to extend our stay!

Overall, would definitely stay there again if I returned to Austin!"
323733,14017535,2014-06-10,12361862,Michelle,"Reasons I loved this airbnb:

1.The easiest self check in ever with the keypad entrance.
(website hidden) was super helpful with any questions, with exact cab fare info from airport or bus options.
3.Bottle of wine when you arrive! With a welcoming package with tons of information of things to do in Austin.
4.Location, Location, Location…..walked everywhere, was super close to fun night life & restaurants. Highly recommend this location.
5.Apartment is exactly what is listed, if not better.
6.Apartment was perfect for 2 couples, we were a touch nervous how the lofted bedroom would be, but it turned out to be perfect & private up there.
7.The walk in closet was empty with tons of hangers, very convenient.
8.The showerhead was amazing, big old strong spa like showerhead, you will love.
9.Tons of towels, sheets & pillows.
(website hidden) extra vanity in the main bedroom, the mirror & sink there was a nice bonus.
11.Bathroom is stocked with toiletry samples.
(website hidden) is stocked with pans/cups/all the essentials.
13.Washer & Dryer in the unit if you need to wash anything.
14.A/C was perfect.
15.The pool in the complex is a great bonus too.

This was my first experience with airbnb & I was very pleasantry surprised, I picked this one from all the good reviews, and I have to say they were all RIGHT.

So thank you Erik & Crystal!!!

323733,17220364,2014-08-09,2718472,Carlo,"Our second time here, was as good as last time.
We felt welcome and the host was accommodating with our arrival and departure times.
We'll be back."
323733,17532310,2014-08-13,19217389,Jody,Great place to stay.  Can't beat location and hosts were very helpful.  The condo was totally stocked and very clean.  My only words of caution would be that the upstairs loft does not allow the people staying up there to sleep in.  ANY and all noises from downstairs are heard.  So put your early risers up there.  It is also really warm in the loft.  A fan would make a huge difference.
323733,17981647,2014-08-19,19910178,Danielle,"Perfect location, could not have been any better for Austin day adventures and night life.  The condo was very clean and comfortable.  The best was the easy check in and check out (self administered with security key pads), Erik and Crystal very accomodating with needs/times.  The parking spot was very much appreciated and so very easy to use.  We highly recommend this place, very impressed.  Lots of towels and extra sheets/air beds which helped with our kids.  Best part for me was being across from Wunderlust Yoga (awesome drop in classes) and resturants (Crepe place run by French family and Berry Yogurt place around the corner, plus all the major dinner places at your door step).  Walk to bats on Congress, capitol, 6th street.  Looking forward to another visit here."
323733,18334104,2014-08-25,12577459,Thompson,"Erik and Crystal's apartment was fantastic.  If I came back to Austin, I would definitely try and stay there again.  Everything went off without a hitch over our three night stay.  Thanks!"
323733,18793404,2014-09-01,15531889,Emily,"Erik and Crystal were incredibly responsive & helpful (even provided a great guide of their favorite Austin destinations). The loft itself was clean & welcoming and met all our expectations. The location is also within walking distance of some great bars and restaurants, as well as bus lines that go to other neighborhoods in Austin. We would definitely stay here again - was a great location for exploring Austin."
323733,19732679,2014-09-17,19048409,Kimberly,"Erik & Crystal's apartment was the perfect place for our stay in Austin. The location was an easy walk to anywhere and a block away from the convention center. The surrounding neighborhood was safe and offered many restaurants, shops, entertainment, yoga studios and more. The accommodations were very nice and beds especially comfortable. Having a fully equipped kit and washer/dryer was a bonus as well. The hosts were extremely easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. Their check in and check out procedures were very easy and their guide extremely helpful. We highly recommend this loft and hope to be back again soon."
323733,19819002,2014-09-19,5166598,Ted,Great stay; they had everything you might need at a perfect downtown location. Plus easy check in and awesome AC.
323733,19951360,2014-09-21,6203654,Jessica,"We had a wonderful time staying here! 
The condo is centrally located and easy to find. Parking is a bit tricky depending on the time that you arrive (you have to park on the street I order to get up into the condo to get the remote for entry into the parking lot). But after you get the remote, you're golden!
The place itself was very clean and nicely decorated. It felt like a home away from home. I love the spiral staircase as well! 
The shower works great and Erik and crystal even leave toiletries for your use. 
Great place! We will definitely be back again! 
Thanks again guys! 

"
323733,20420930,2014-09-29,8772665,Nicole,"Erik and Crystal's loft was pretty much perfect! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Austin. The location is right downtown, but on a quiet-ish road, walking distance to everything. The apartment itself has almost everything you will need, and Erik and Crystal are lovely and extremely accomodating. I only have great things to say about this place. Thanks again!"
323733,20811228,2014-10-06,15046355,Katie,"My friends and I recently returned from a wonderful weekend at the loft for the ACL festival. Erik and Crystal couldn't have been better hosts! They sent over a fantastic list of suggested spots to try before we arrived (a few of which we did-- they were winners!) and were available by phone in case we needed anything. The loft was spacious, clean, and in a wonderful location (easy walk to just about everything), and the bottle of wine they left for us at check in was such a thoughtful touch! If we are fortunate enough to return to Austin we would love to stay at the loft again-- highly recommend! "
323733,21514711,2014-10-19,5820174,Pete,"Really cool loft in the middle of Austin. Easy access to different parts of town. Erik and Crystal were very helpful, have a beautiful home and make you feel welcome. "
323733,21794462,2014-10-24,21953961,Samuel,I found the loft easily and ideally located in Austin. It's a nice spacious 2 bedrooms. I had no problem letting myself in despite a late arrival.

323733,22293127,2014-11-03,6440698,Jason,"My friends and I had a great F1 weekend here.  The place was clean, just as described, Erik was very communicative, and the location was perfect!"
323733,22445260,2014-11-06,3417914,Misha,I have only great feedback for every aspect of this rental. Host was very polite and prompt in his communication. The place is in great condition. It's an older condo but has few fresh touches that make it nice. Location is great. It's an inner condo (no street view) but this is not an issue at all. I will certainly try to stay here when I am back in Austin. 
323733,22902012,2014-11-17,22696760,Vanessa,Awesome place and hosts! We can't wait to stay here again. It was super comfortable and in a great location. Thanks again!

323733,23572181,2014-12-05,23024618,Spencer,This was a great loft in downtown Austin.  Location was great with the lake a few blocks down and 6th St. and Rainey St. right nearby.  The owners were very helpful and welcoming.  They take care of the property and it does not go unnoticed.  Will definitely be staying here next trip to Austin.  I highly recommend staying at Erik and Crystal's property!
323733,23652415,2014-12-07,7433746,David,"The experience I had with Erik and Crystal's Loft was great! They were very clear and prompt in their replies, the space was very clean and nice. They also went the extra step to provide local restaurants and bars. Perfect location for downtown Austin. I hope to come back!"
323733,23900287,2014-12-14,10283559,Jeremiah,Everything was great. The place was just as expected and the location is perfect. The hosts were very responsive as well.  We would definitely book it again.
323733,24137392,2014-12-21,14683606,Karla,"Eric and Crystal were spectacular hosts. Very accommodating, and very responsive from the moment we booked at their loft on 4th. The keypad made it SUPER easy for everyone (we were staying with another couple) for everyone to go in and out, and do their own thing. The location is perfect, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat! What a great place in Austin, and great hosts!"
323733,24356543,2014-12-27,21382150,Grace,"The hosts were very informative and answered my (many) questions before we arrived. The loft and all linens, etc. were clean and ready when we arrived. The loft is ideal for visiting Austin, TX. Walking distance to many restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. We were very pleased with our experience!"
323733,25550303,2015-01-19,7958795,Tony,The place was centrally located downtown which was close to all of the bars and restaurants. The check in and out process was super easy. This place had parking so it was easy to park my rental there without worrying about street parking. The place has two comfortable beds and had a washer and dryer. Erik was super helpful with all my pre-trip questions. Would stay again next time. 
323733,25801198,2015-01-26,24531670,Joe,"This place was perfect for our stay. Location couldn't be beat. It was two blocks from the center of all they action (bars, restaurants, etc). We took the $2 bus from the airport. The condo is great and as shown/described. Everything was clean and nice and we had everything we needed. Erik and Crystal were easy to communicate with and friendly and offered to help with anything we needed. I'd definitely stay here again. "
323733,27505751,2015-03-06,7252708,Sarah,"The loft was a perfect location to get to anywhere in Austin - the east side and downtown.

323733,27586511,2015-03-08,4596427,Hannah,"Erik was a great host and great communicator throughout our entire experience.  We were able to utilize the self check-in and check-out process, and the key pad entry to the apartment made things very easy.  It was also great having a parking space in the complex.  We had more than one car, and as an FYI there is a garage right across the street for $5 (pretty cheap for the area!)  You can't beat the location, as it's walking distance to several downtown areas and Lady Bird Lake.  

The apartment fit the 4 of us comfortably (2 queen beds) and there's also a couch and room for an air mattress if you have more people.  

Keep in mind noise travels easily in the common areas of the apartment complex so you'll hear people outside and they'll probably hear you.  "
323733,27717397,2015-03-10,22261890,Bill,"Erik and Crystal's condo was a great place from which to explore Austin. It was clean and comfortable and very convenient to restaurants and clubs while being far enough from the bars that it was quiet. 

Erik was very responsive to our questions and the guide he and Crystal provided had great suggestions for things to do in the area. 

I would love to visit again some time. "
323733,28280285,2015-03-21,575929,Alex,We stayed at Erik and Crystal's loft during SXSW 2015. The location was unbeatable and the loft itself was clean and comfy. We'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others as well! 
323733,28790574,2015-03-30,13697197,Jessie,"We loved staying here! The location is amazing, and the self check in/check out option makes everything so easy. Highly recommended! "
323733,29417146,2015-04-07,28708746,Janet,"We walked into the loft, and found a bottle of wine awaiting us on the table.  The place was perfect for our needs.  It was clean, nicely stocked( towels, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, trash bags), and close to many restaurants, as well as to the bus stops.  Being right downtown was wonderful.  The keyless entry worked very well.  When we rented a car, having the parking garage right in the building was a plus (particularly since there was no extra parking fee.)   Erik & Crystal were very easy to communicate with, not that we needed to do so often.  I would recommend this place."
323733,29733549,2015-04-12,25709313,Kristel,"What a great place to stay! The location was perfect for our trip, we traveled to Austin for a bachelorette weekend and spent most of our time out. The loft was clean, everything you might need in a kitchen for a short stay. We were worried about the bathroom situation with 6 girls getting ready but the second vanity was perfect and we all appreciated the numerous mirrors in the place. Super easy to take the airport flyer (only $1.75!), parking was a challenge for the girls who drove but there are several parking garages around that worked out. This is close to many great restaurants and bars and it's better we didn't stay much in the condo as the walls in the whole building are fairly thin.   Erik was available for any questions and the keyless entry was perfect.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't let us spend time at the pool. If I find myself in Austin again I would love to stay here again!"
323733,30051105,2015-04-16,548179,Duncan,Superb location in downtown Austin. Very smooth experience. Erik & Crystal were extremely helpful arranging an early check-in and providing us with parking. Highly recommended. 
323733,30205881,2015-04-19,17910222,Jay,"Erik & Crystal were very accommodating answering any questions and providing a detailed check-in process along with their own free concierge of the immediate area of their condo. The location is perfect, situated centrally between 6th street and South Congress and in a comfortable part of town. The property itself was clean, fairly priced, and perfect for a weekend stay. If I make it back to Austin this would certainly be my basecamp again. My only challenge if there was one is the gate for the parking garage. The sensor did not seem to work on exiting so you had to shuttle keys to open. Thanks again guys!"
323733,30579640,2015-04-24,12162685,Danny,"What a great place to stay in Austin!  The condo is easy to check into with coded entry.  The place is really  clean and comfy.  You can walk to a ton of bars and restaurants nearby.  When I come back to Austin, I'll try and book this place again. "
323733,30761752,2015-04-27,24326192,Emmy,"We stayed at Erik and Crystal's place during AFW Fest.  Their  home was exactly as pictured and described.  It was clean and comfortable.    The location was great, super convenient to many restaurants and bars.  I did a few morning runs by myself around the area and felt very safe.

Erik and Crystal were great about communicating with us before our arrival and throughout our stay.   The self check in/out process was super convenient as well.  We requested to extend our stay an additional night and our hosts promptly responded to and approved our request!  It was also nice to have the covered parking space in the garage which gave us piece of mind, not having to drive around to find parking, which can be quite challenging in downtown Austin.  They even communicated to us in advance when we had to move our vehicle due to work being done in the parking lot, and offered to reimburse us for any parking costs we incurred.

2 thumbs up for this loft and for the great hosts!  Will definitely stay again on a future trip to Austin!"
323733,31314703,2015-05-04,59465,Katie,"Erik and Crystal's condo was exactly what we needed for a wedding weekend in Austin.  Extremely convenient location, room for everyone, and easy in and out with keyless entry.  Erik was super communicative when we had questions (which were few, as their welcome packet was really helpful and included lots of great tips).  The place was clean and well equipped for our weekend.  I'd recommend this to anyone needing to be centrally located in downtown Austin for the weekend, whether for work or pleasure!"
323733,32486722,2015-05-18,30343918,Emily,A group of 4 of us stayed in the loft for a couple of nights for our first time in Austin ! It was a great location and cute place! We were able to walk everywhere downtown! I would definitely recommend this place. The owners were very responsive too!
323733,32957352,2015-05-24,26296508,Paul,Great apartment very close to the vibrant 6th street.
323733,33715888,2015-05-31,23434469,Samantha,"A group of four of us stayed in Erik and Crystal's loft for a weekend in Austin - such a great place, amazing location - convenient walking distance to anywhere we wanted to go - we absolutely loved it! Would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it. Erik and Crystal were also very accommodating and easily reachable which is a huge plus! "
323733,34413612,2015-06-08,8281985,Hanson,"It was a great stay! The location was perfect, and Erik gave us ample information about the unit and its surrounding areas. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a cozy pad while exploring Austin."
323733,35001708,2015-06-14,7673198,Todd,Great place for a weekend. Highly recommend :)
323733,35381553,2015-06-18,13574942,Trevor,Fantastic location.  Easy in and out.  Very well kept.  They did a great job
323733,35755814,2015-06-21,23007408,Francisco,"Great place and great hosts. instructions very clear, the place was very clean and great location. "
323733,36309923,2015-06-27,35093316,Linus,"Erik was extremely professional and prompt in responding. The space was exactly as advertised, and was in the perfect location. the instructions regarding everything were very clear, and the apartment was ready several hours before originally scheduled. Would definitely stay again."
323733,37162106,2015-07-05,21371910,Anushka,"Erik and Crystal were wonderful hosts. While I did not get to meet them in person they made the check-in and check-out process extremely easy and were very helpful with recommendations of things to do around the area. 

The Loft itself is in a great location and is very easy to walk to from 6th St and the Congress Avenue Bridge. I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to explore the best parts of Austin."
323733,38019872,2015-07-12,8242166,Adam,"A group of 6 of us stayed at Erik and Crystal's place while in Austin for a weekend. The apartment is great, as advertised.  The location is perfect, close to all the bars and restaurants downtown and to Rainey Street.  Erik was easy to communicate with and very helpful.  Would highly recommend!"
323733,38830952,2015-07-19,5900180,Matthew,"Erik, did an amazing job communicating and helping me feel right at home. I loved his place and location, I would definitely recommend this to everyone who is looking to stay in austin.  

This place was right in the middle of everything and we walked almost everywhere we wanted to go."
323733,39847124,2015-07-26,12925521,Jack,"Great location! Thank you Erik & Crystal we had a great weekend. Everything was very welcoming, well thought out and accommodating. We will give you guys a shout when we head back down to Austin. "
323733,40515757,2015-07-31,35082298,Alex,"Loft apt was perfect. location was central to hotels, 6th street and the river, but quiet enough to enjoy peace. Well furnished and roomy and clean. Only wish that the condo provided internet was more up to speed. Would stay there again."
323733,41366969,2015-08-07,2718472,Carlo,"We enjoyed our stay here again. It's always clean, quiet and well located. Thanks again Erik & Crystal."
323733,41980752,2015-08-10,35518973,Aimee,"Erik & Crystal were fantastic!  They were extremely responsive since the beginning of our booking up until we checked out.  They provided a great packet of information regarding checking in/out, things to do in the area and info about the condo.  The condo is set up great, it feels like a home.  They have all the essentials that you'll need to cook with and live there during your stay.  Accommodations were clean and tidy, on time and very central to all the things we wanted to do during our stay.  I would highly recommend staying here again.  The pool area was a great touch.  Not being from the area, it was a nice place to relax and cool down and it was never crowded.  Overall, they put together a lovely place that is functional, yet feels warm and homey.  Definitely better than staying in your typical hotel.  Thank you again, so much Erik & Crystal for such a lovely listing!!!  "
323733,42990105,2015-08-16,2546613,Paul,"Erik and  crystals downtown flat was absolutely perfect for our stay in Austin! The location was spot in, close to everything though still very quiet and away from the noise. The flat was very clean and set nicely for our stay. Erik and Crystal were very polite and made us feel welcome. We would definitely use them again on our next visit to the amazing Austin!! Thanks guys "
323733,44487281,2015-08-26,32277210,Leif,"Very nice apartment, super easy and totally automated check-in/check-out process. Accommodating of early arrival/late check out. Great location!

Wi-fi was a little weak, and it wasn't completely clear that the 2nd bedroom was a loft with no door, but overall an awesome place!"
323733,45087373,2015-08-31,36823122,Anna,"The hosts did a great job of making us feel welcome by checking in with us, and making sure everything met our expectations. They also left us a bottle of wine! The place was clean and welcoming, and completely as described. The neighborhood was amazing and this place was in the heart of downtown Austin--exactly what we were looking for!"
323733,45930580,2015-09-07,6504408,Sarah,"The hosts – Erik & Crystal were so responsive, helpful, and kind leading up to our trip. Most of our group had never been to Austin before, so they gave us lots of great recommendations (may which we tried, so we can vouch for them being good ones!). Any time we needed anything, they were just a text away. They were also wonderfully flexible with check-in / check-out times, which is great for out-of-town guests.

The place – A lovely condo in an amazing location, just steps away from Rainy St, 6th St, etc. The pool was also a nice reprieve from the 100 degree temperature! Inside, the home was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed (including lots of AC!). A good fit for 1-2 couples or a small group.

Definitely recommend this spot / Erik & Crystal!
"
323733,46698557,2015-09-13,25820453,Katie,"Erik and Crystal's loft is perfectly situated in the middle of downtown, within walking distances to tons of bars, restaurants, and attractions, and biking distance to everywhere else!  The loft was a perfect home base for our group of 4, we all fit comfortably into the space, and thoroughly enjoyed our first trip to Austin.  We had one issue of the water being turned off the first day we were there but Erik responded immediately and looked into the problem for us.  He was very communicative throughout our stay, and we would definitely stay at the loft again when we return to Austin!"
323733,47416745,2015-09-18,26932872,Steven,"The loft was clean, cool, and as described.  The location feels safe and I would stay here again without question.  Highly recommended."
323733,47615255,2015-09-21,650030,Wayne,"Perfect stay at Erik & Crystal's loft! The best location, amazingly clean and convenient apartment, and great hosts. Thanks!!"
323733,48162636,2015-09-24,31429697,Marie,"Crystal and Erik's apartment is lovely, clean and in an ideal area to be able to walk about and see everything! Communication was fantastic, couldn't rate them highly enough! "
323733,48689066,2015-09-28,16164021,Aaron,"Erick contacted me immediately after I booked the reservation and made a personal connection. Then they sent us a welcome packet a week in advance, and the place was just like they'd said. It's in a gated apartment complex (with a pool!) in the heart of Austin. "
323733,49592463,2015-10-05,17346009,Meghan,"Incredibly convenient location, charming, comfortable home, and perfectly stocked for our group of 4 -this was such a better experience than staying in a hotel for ACL!  

Erik and Crystal could not have been easier to work with, and the on-site parking was clutch!  Cute little Grocery around the corner, close to great restaurants and bars, and walkable to just about everything-we could not have been happier.  "
323733,51110789,2015-10-18,3778205,T.J. & Cathy,Great spot and wonderful location.  Super easy experience with convenient communication. 
323733,52212461,2015-10-27,7400407,Chris,"Excellent location and a very nice, comfortable apartment for a stay downtown. Check-in and out was very easy and everything we needed was available to us during the stay, which made it much easier than staying in a hotel. Wifi was very slow as it is a communal network for the condos and being on the top floor doesn't help, but Erik has alerted the development manager so hopefully those staying in future won't even have that slight issue. Would definitely recommend and hope to return next year!"
323733,52817341,2015-11-02,1972633,Brett,"Great place, very convenient check-in and checkout."
733965,28063054,2015-03-16,1025535,Shanna,"First let me tell you how fantastically warm and freindly Deena was during my stay. I felt like I was visiting a family members not some stranger. Most importantly she and her dog Seya loved on my old pooch. 

Deena's home is in the really cool up and comming East Side in walking distance of 2 great taco joints and a couple of coffee shops. It's near downtown too; so, riding my bike into the SXSW frenzy was a breeze. 

The house was clean, neat, and comfortable. I highly recommend staying at Deena's joint. "
733965,28547484,2015-03-25,16703879,Werner,"I had an amazing time in Austin and Deena's place greatly contributed to that. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet (with safe parking) and I spent many hours on the chair on the verandah. There are great places to eat nearby (breakfast and supper) and it's an easy hop to downtown (which in my case was the madness which is SXSW). Deena left clear instructions and little tips on places to visit in the city (and even left me a free, local, ice-cold beer as welcome gift). Highly recommended. "
733965,29705294,2015-04-11,1702565,Susan,"The bungalow was exactly as described. I love the mix of old and new in the decor. It's close to UT, downtown and many East side restaurants. The whole process was easy and owner was great. "
733965,30220334,2015-04-19,691632,Laura,Beautiful house in a great location. Deena was a great host and we had a blast. Highly recommend!
733965,31215032,2015-05-03,18195772,Kate,Great home! Loved sitting on the front porch in the big chairs! Especially appreciated the small touches like ample amounts of towels & a stocked pantry.
733965,32732863,2015-05-20,17786568,Claire,"FABULOUS!! Cozy, comfortable, central, stylish, a perfect getaway with all the comforts of home. Thank you, Deena! I would recommend a stay here to all my friends and would certainly love to come back. "
733965,34182251,2015-06-05,34875410,Karen,"We were made to feel right at home. She had perfect little notes throughout the house so we didn't have to figure anything out. The description was spot on and the neighborhood was terrific. Wonderfully stocked pantry, great kitchen, very comfortable big bed, cute bathroom with all the supplies you could ever need, and complimentary chocolate and wine!! This place was heaven away from home :)"
733965,34327331,2015-06-07,20907955,Ashlee,"Cutest little old (but very well maintained) house.  
We especially loved the fact that it was off the beaten path from downtown, so that it was quiet, but it was not TOO far away. 
Comfy beds and nice sheets were a bonus ☺
Deena was very quick to respond, and to check in once we arrived. 
My friends and I highly recommend staying here. 
Thanks for the yummy wine, it was a great refreshing treat ☺"
733965,35104392,2015-06-15,699273,Dave,"The place looks just as shown (June '15) and it was a really comfortable spot to spend a weekend. Slept great on the daybed converted to queen-size and Deena was extremely available by phone and email in case we needed anything. Didn't do much cooking, but tasty coffee and a french press was ready to go in the kitchen. Well appointed overall.

The strip on Manor (a two-block walk) was a really cool little scene. Stumbled on an acoustic concert outside the local grocery on my way to grab some beer (on tap at the grocery, just my speed). About a $10 Uber or Lyft to 6th St. 

Would definitely stay here again."
733965,36205092,2015-06-26,266658,Ari,"Beautiful, clean, fully-stocked apartment in a great neighborhood.  It was a wonderful stay -- and, without question, I'd stay here again if I return to Austin!

Thanks, Deena!"
733965,36442470,2015-06-28,22886915,Happy,"Wonderful little home with that ""home"" feel. Eden was very responsive and took care of everything we needed. Wish she was available next weekend so I could book again!"
733965,36838785,2015-07-01,36480844,Samuel,"Wonderful first time experience with AirBNB! House was clean, cozy, and welcoming. Enjoyed every minute. "
733965,37172769,2015-07-05,33912339,Jana,"We wish we had more than the weekend here! The place is just as described and has such a warm homey feeling. Instead of just another place to stay for the weekend it felt like we were staying at a friend's house. The place has been very well kept and also has a lot of character, not to mention in a great location for people seeking that Austin experience. I would highly recommend this place to future travelers & truly enjoyed staying here."
733965,37506397,2015-07-07,28934514,Snehamay,"We had a wonderful stay at Deena's house. The pictures are accurate and house is in a quiet neighborhood with excellent restaurants, pubs within walking distance.  Deena was quick to respond to our queries and we had no problems communicating with her. And thanks for the wine, Deena!"
733965,38421870,2015-07-15,1548800,Bill,"Deena was such a gracious host.  The beds were comfy, plush and plentiful. There wasn't an addition that could have been made to make things more accommadating.  Hopefully we will stay with deena again in the future!"
733965,38873346,2015-07-19,9856957,Anne,"Deena was great! She was communicative about the check-in process, and allowed us to check-in early, at 11 am! The house was a cute old house. It has 1 office and 1 bedroom and a decent sized kitchen and living space. There would be room for an air mattress.

If you are hoping to be in ""east austin"" this location is a 10 minute drive. It isn't the cutest neighborhood,  but I felt save walking to a coffeeshop nearby. Cuter streets/neighborhoods are a 10 minute drive (east austin) or a 30 minute walk, across I-35 (Hyde Park).

We went to Salty Sow for dinner, 10 minute walk down the street.

So, the house was cute, and Deena was great, but I would rather stay in another neighborhood."
733965,39934603,2015-07-27,33943768,Matt,"Deena's house is great, and so was the trip! A very cute house with all the amenities made for a wonderful trip overall. Her house is a short drive from many local attractions such as the LBJ Presidential Library and Barton Springs. Deena was always very helpful and responsive when we had questions, and she made it very easy for us to feel at home in a city we had never been to. I would highly recommend Deena and her lovely home!"
733965,40358029,2015-07-30,578113,Rachel,"My girlfriend and I very much enjoyed our stay at Deena's place as part of our cross-country trip from San Francisco to Boston. After long days of driving, the comforts and charm were much welcomed. We loved it!

Austin, you are full of so many great places! And if you're staying at Deena's, they're just a short walk or drive. Our Uber driver was super nice and helpful and gave us a few recommendations including a low-key bar call Wonderland–tasty drinks. A few other spots we hit in just over than twenty-four hours: Uncommon Objects, Eastside Showroom (great happy hour), Cheer Up Charlie's, Gordo's Donuts and Deep Eddy (Barton Springs Pool closes on Thursdays for cleaning). Needless to say, we'll be back. "
733965,41635075,2015-08-08,37427746,Michael,"This house is the real deal if you are looking for a taste of the old Austin, so loved by so many.   Deena has very tastefully and carefully updated it to sleep five comfortably.   The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, but only a stone's throw from campus and downtown.    Everything was perfect so I had absolutely no reason to text Deena, except to announce our arrival and departure, and she replied right away to those texts.   Deena very courteously labeled  important items with directions and left a handy how-to notebook for both the house and Austin.  I had a really nice stay.   Thank you, Deena."
733965,42703274,2015-08-15,4950901,Adam,"The house was wonderful, comfortable and clean. We had a great week in Austin, and this bungalow was a perfect basecamp! We would definitely rent it again! Thanks Deena!"
733965,44546800,2015-08-27,37704454,Matt,"We all had a great time at Deena's bungalow and was pleasantly surprised to see a bottle of white wine in the fridge for us when we arrived! 
Deena has great communication skills and was always easy to get a hold of when we needed her.
She also provides a very detailed hand book on the house and local area which was very useful! 
Couldn't recommend her more thanks for making our trip so great! "
733965,45451127,2015-09-02,21971177,Aj,Great house and tons of option around the area. Very clean and presentable. Deena was very easy going and easy to work with
733965,45991000,2015-09-07,32545856,Tiffany,We had a great stay at Deena's. The location was close to everything we had planned downtown. House was cozy and clean and the back yard was perfect for our pups. Typical old home quirks like squeaky doors and floors. Her house guide pointed out some great local spots and labels throughout the house made everything very easy to use. She was also very easy to communicate with!
733965,46915544,2015-09-14,6978604,Francis,"We felt quite at home in  the Cozy two bedroom east side house. The home was well equipped , as described ,  and in a convenient location. My son lives in Austin, and he will be in touch requesting to reserve the home in the near future for other out of town guests."
733965,48553762,2015-09-27,42263135,Vera,Great and quiet neighbourhood. Home as described and very easy to find. Deena made sure we had everything we needed.
733965,49588458,2015-10-05,6131676,Camille,"Deena was very responsive throughout our stay. It was easy getting to the house and very comfortable and as described in the listing. With Uber, we did not have an issue at all getting to ACL festival and to restaurants & bars in the area. Would definitely recommend! (Thank you Deena!) "
733965,50427606,2015-10-12,20760924,Darren,"Beautiful little place, pretty quick cab to downtown. Easy to walk for breakfast and coffee from the house.  I will certainly stay here again. Great house, great f****** city. :) Hope that's ok to say.

One note: make sure you know how to find house because cabbies in Austin are awful. "
733965,51116867,2015-10-18,34484552,Jessica,We had a nice time in Austin and enjoyed the bungalow.  The pics are very accurate.  We were welcomed with a lovely bottle of wine and very warm and welcoming home.
733965,52311218,2015-10-28,12119365,Lauren,"Deena was helpful when planning the booking and her house is lovely, really spacious and light. Perfect for our stay, would have liked to stay longer! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if visiting Austin."
3808606,21259839,2014-10-13,22214807,Adam,Had a wonderful stay.  Jennifer was responsive.  The house is large and comfortable with a beautiful front porch.  More than enough room for seven people who stayed.  It's an easy walk to ACL and to Barton Springs.  Would love to come back for another stay soon.  
3808606,21987969,2014-10-27,5888480,Marienne,"My group and I had a wonderful time staying at Jennifer's lovely home over the weekend. We had more than enough room for all 8 of us to sleep comfortably. It was such a treat staying at her beautiful house, the pictures don't do the place justice (especially the shower in the master bathroom, a few of us fell in love!). It was very close to downtown and other fun and interesting places in Austin, but was still quite enough to ensure a restful night, which was a huge plus in my book! Highly recommend staying with Jen, and I would stay here again in the future."
3808606,22625935,2014-11-10,14013675,Katie,"Jennifer's home was a dream oasis for our recent trip to Fun Fun Fun Fest. The house is HUGE, elegant, clean, and well appointed. We spent our mornings lounging out in the sunny garden and our evenings relaxing in one of several living rooms. The walk down Kinney street to auditorium shores was full of beautiful homes and quintessential Austin charm. We were so happy to have a quiet and comfortable home to return to after a rowdy day of festival hi jinks. 

While I didn't get a chance to meet Jenn on this trip, she was on top of communication and left very clear instructions on how to get around the neighborhood. Definitely a no-hassle host!

But the real selling point? THE SHOWER. You have not truly showered until you have showered in the shower in the master bedroom. All other showers are inadequate by comparison. 

Would absolutely stay (and shower) again!"

1720604,13944155,2014-06-09,10958594,Robert,"Elissa's home was wonderful.  There was plenty of room for the 6 of us and we had a nice and relaxing stay.  The house has a nice sized pool and we made good use of that.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood that is nearby a couple grocery stores and not too far from some great restaurants.  We didn't need anything extra from Elissa, but she made it clear that she was available if we did."
1720604,15336691,2014-07-07,16446278,Chesley,This house is situated in a nice and safe community less than10 minutes away from downtown Austin.  The home is private and has all of the amenities for a relaxing getaway. The pool was nice!
1720604,20734241,2014-10-05,3962926,Kate,"Elissa's home was spacious and gorgeous, with everything we needed and more. We spent most of our time in the beautiful backyard retreat, and it felt like a home away from home. The coffee was some of the best I've ever had and we arrived to some special treats for us as well. You can walk to ACL, but it's about 2 miles. The decor was lovely and the neighborhood was safe and quiet."
1720604,28067239,2015-03-17,6306068,Miranda,"I coordinated a group to spend a week at Elissa's. This is what they had to say: ""We had a great time staying at Elissa's beautiful house. The space was super comfortable and we loved escaping the downtown area to the quiet neighborhood. A quick Uber/Lyft ride got us right back to the convention center and yummy restaurants. We loved sitting and sipping locally brewed coffee on the backyard deck (it was a little too cool for us to try the pool). Super easy to communicate with Elissa and she kept me up to speed throughout the weekend. Would definitely stay here again!"""
1720604,28256819,2015-03-21,23626420,Kevin,"Thank you for a wonderful and warm visit to you home. My group was staying at your home during a business trip to SXSW and the house offered a relaxing break from the craziness of the festival a few short miles away.

We didnt get to use the deck or pool as weather wasnt cooperative, and we were busy....but despite this miss on out part, everything was wonderful!"
1720604,40075863,2015-07-28,28305093,Keeth,"Elissa's home was very inviting and clean, with plenty of space for my family.  They provided little items like bar soap, plenty of extra pool towels, and beverages, which really made for a nice stress-free stay.
The back yard was amazing, and the neighborhood was very quiet.  This was a fantastic decision to stay at their home, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway in Austin.  It was very convenient for shopping, food, and other needs.  Just a great location and home!  Many thanks!!"
1720604,50428090,2015-10-12,4268622,Ali,"We had a great stay for ACL weekend! The house was beautiful, very spacious and had a great backyard for relaxing or swimming in the pool. Elissa was a terrific host and followed up with us to make sure everything was OK throughout the weekend. Highly recommend and we will be back. "
5391565,28182372,2015-03-19,1430593,Richard,"We had a great experience at The lake house. It is a great location to get away from the city all while being accessible. There is plenty of stuff to see in the area but if you don't want to do that just sit and relax in the private patio and yard area. Susan was a very warm and attentive host, she accommodate all of our needs during our stay. I would definitely recommend it and come back again next year."

5037023,28075394,2015-03-17,2731083,Bianca,Alison and Gian were great hosts. Everything was super comfortable and they made sure we had all essentials when we arrived. They even left travel sized toiletries out for our use! The communication was easy and the house was very well located in the Zilker neighborhood. There are great parks nearby including barton springs pool for kids and downtown is a short bike ride away. We were here during SXSW and found it very convenient but also far enough away that it felt peaceful. We would definitely stay here again. 
5037023,40945916,2015-08-03,23785289,David,"Alison and John were great hosts! Although they were not there while we visited, they made sure we had everything we needed and stayed in contact via email and by phone. The house is located in one of the prime areas in Austin - close to wonderful Zilker park and there are number of great restaurants and music venues within a short distance from the house.  The online description was accurate however there was a little confusion with photos on an older and newer site for the same house, which may be resolved by now. But trust us, the place is very nice and well furnished. The neighborhood is safe and very walkable and there is a small convenience store with staples and a nice selection of beer and wine within walking distance. The house is very well equipped with state of the art appliances and the bedding is super comfortable. Everything in the house is first rate and in excellent condition. The large den/office in the back also has a very comfortable fold-out couch. The two bedrooms downstairs worked great for our kids and the upstairs master bedroom and bath was beautiful. Our hosts left us plenty of information about the area to help us get settled. We highly recommend this rental and we will most certainly rent again next year. It was above and beyond all our expectations!!
"
6043349,40363105,2015-07-30,30799925,David,"Everything was perfect with the place and the location was phenomenal.  Could walk to Sweetish Hill Bakery, Z-Tejas, Whole Foods, and the list goes on.  Would definitely stay again!!!"
6043349,51666162,2015-10-22,32792521,Jenna,"The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed, check in was so easy and it's in one of the best spots in austin! Would recommend staying here if visiting austin! "
8541039,49572190,2015-10-04,2393300,Andrew,Nathaniel was incredibly gracious and easy to coordinate with. We had a snafu with a cancelation and he was able to accommodate us in hours. The house is beautiful and has everything you need. My friends were blown away with how much bigger it is in person. 5 stars!
8541039,51399171,2015-10-19,34514412,Ileana,We had a wonderful time.  Nathaniel and his wife are lovely people and were very attentive.  The home was gorgeous and very comfortable for our family of 7.  Hope to come back soon.
5606440,28492600,2015-03-24,28987114,Gary,"My experience in the ""Blue Room"" was wonderful.  A beautiful home nestled in the woods overlooking Lake Travis.  My room had an outstanding view of the lake and the sunsets there are gorgeous.  I have been bragging to my friends at home about the great find this place is.  My hosts Lydia and John were very accommodating promptly seeing to my needs and making sure I felt welcome in their home. As I have family in the area I'm sure that the ""Blue Room"" will be my home away from home again.  Thank you Lydia and John for sharing your home with me."
5606440,36476092,2015-06-28,25551380,Erdal,"Our experience here was beyond amazing. Lydia and John are wonderful hosts. They made our stay incredible.

The place is amazing. To begin with, it is in a nice neighborhood. It is overlooking Lake Travis and has spectacular views. There is an astonishing porch where you can relax, enjoy the lake and have glass a of wine of coffee. Not to mention it has direct access to the lake.  

The house overall is very clean. It is close to top touristic attractions such as the Oasis restaurant and famous Hamilton Pool.  There are a number of stores just across the street including coffee shops and a super market.

Finally, the place was much better than how it looked in the photos. Will definitely come back.."
5606440,37375482,2015-07-06,2258611,Andrea,"We had the absolute best time staying with Lydia and John for the 4th of July weekend!  Everything was superb: location, the room …  The  However, the hosts were beyond superb - really!! They happened to have family and friends over for the holiday and they were all just as awesome and wonderful too!  
This was the first time not renting the 'entire home'  and wow, so glad we chose Lydia and John's place! 
The room is set up very well for a comfortable stay.  The bathroom is spacious.  The view from the room is lovely.  Each morning a lovely  assortment of breakfast foods were made available.  And though I'm not sure this is the norm, we had two amazing bbq dinners together.  We are foodies and my goodness, John and Lydia know how to smoke some good meat!  

Lake location was perfect.  Lake Travis is big and there are many great homes but very long drives from 620.  This home is super convenient if you want to have easy access to things such as Zip Lining, the Oasis. And Steiner Steak house is just 5 minutes away. We had a great dinner there our first night - Live music/great food.  If you want to stay on the Lake and also be able to be downtown Austin in 25 minutes, this is the place.   The home is perched under beautiful trees and has a deck overlooking the lake.  There is a dock available and floats too!  

You will be given as much privacy as your desire, we just couldn't help but want to hang out with these awesome hosts!
 
We highly recommend this home for a truly memorable Lake experience. "
5606440,44993197,2015-08-30,41730270,Mariana,"We had a wonderful time here-- just wish we could have stayed more days! So peaceful.. we saw all kinds of birds visit the bird feeders while we ate breakfast on the deck. The view of Lake Travis is priceless. We enjoyed swimming in the Lake (lying on floats, that is). Lydia was a wonderful host who made us feel right at home and provided us with everything that we might need. She even invited us to join on a sunset boat ride which I would have loved to do if we hadn't had plans.

This room has a comfortable queen size bed, direct door to the deck, and a very nice bathroom across the hall. A curtain separates the guest room(s) area from the living room and kitchen, which provides some privacy. Location is easy to find, near Oasis, and very near Vintage Villas where I attended a wedding.

Nothing but a positive experience here! I wouldn't hesitate to stay again."
5606440,46092087,2015-09-07,21937793,Megan,"We had such a great time at Lydia's! Not only is the room nice and cozy, you can't beat the gorgeous view. Lydia and John are awesome hosts! They were friendly and welcoming the moment we got there. Their dog Colt is great too, we had a great time playing fetch with him. Would definitely stay here again!"
5606440,47584766,2015-09-20,14079931,Kalliope,Lydia was phenomenal and super welcoming-  the house is very welcoming and gorgeously situated overlooking lake travis.  Check in was super easy and the room was clean and cozy.  Super nice and helpful and would love to venture back and visit again sometime
5606440,47939973,2015-09-21,44530507,Rayne,"Lydia's home is very comfortable with great energy.  The room has a private refrigerator and they added small touches like chocolates on the pillow that add an extra sense of 'welcome' upon arrival.  The first night I arrived I joined her and her family for a bbq dinner.  It was a wonderful way to spend the evening.  They provide you with a key to your room, although I felt so comfortable, I never locked it.  The sliding door from the room gives you access to a large deck and a gorgeous view.  The home is set on plush hill above a private boat dock.  It's a perfect getaway.  The only time I drove away from her home was to have lunch at Steiner Steakhouse, which was two miles away on the top of the hill overlooking Lake Travis.  They have exceptional food with live music during their Sunday Brunch.  My only complaint is that Lydia's home is booked this coming weekend.  I'll definitely visit again.  "
5606440,50371233,2015-10-11,39546312,Andrew,"This is hands down the best Airbnb experience that I've ever had! Our hosts were very kind and preemptive when it came to our morning coffee by already having it made. The room and the view is wonderful and so is the dock if you want to have an evening hangout and enjoy the lake view. If you want to have a nice getaway from people yet want to enjoy downtown Austin which is only 25 minutes away, stay here.  Lydia was very accommodating and we are looking forward to stay here again! "
5606440,52725417,2015-11-01,8313042,Mike,"Bad storms delayed our departure to Austin, so we stayed only one night instead of the two booked.  Lydia was most understanding and even refunded us one night's rental.
Her place is right on the lake, very roomy, everything up-to-date but with a comfortable, '70s Lake Travis vibe.
Lydia and John were most welcoming hosts "
6219301,33049793,2015-05-24,33653510,Jake,"Great place, great location, great furniture. I wish I could have stayed longer. Justin is a terrific host, if anything is not up to par, he is quick to answer your questions and deliver a solution."
6219301,35164945,2015-06-15,35237240,Julio,Awesome place! Highly recommended to people who have never been in Austin.
6219301,35838513,2015-06-22,32014872,Rebekah,The stay at Justin's was perfect! A very cute space with plenty of room for 4 people. I can't think of anything that would have made the stay better; we were only ten minutes from downtown and the apartment was clean and furnished nicely. We would definitely stay here again.
6219301,36715134,2015-06-30,21613708,Graham,"Very welcoming space, neighborhood and everything. Great place and very comfortable! Thanks for everything I highly recommend staying here. "
6219301,40793587,2015-08-02,22895504,Corey,My experience with this apartment was great. The apartment is extremely comfortable and the accommodations are awesome. You will feel nice and relaxed after being out all day in Austin. 
6219301,42949210,2015-08-16,40307127,Monique,"Wij hebben een super leuke vakantie gehad in dit appartement, welke erg sfeervol is ingericht. In de woonkamer staan als eyecatcher twee heerlijke grote zitzakken. De twee slaapkamers zijn ruim met voldoende ruimte voor je bagage en de bedden slapen erg lekker. De twee badkamers zijn ook mooi en ruim met een heerlijke douche in de badkuip. Onze dochter was helemaal blij met Netflix op de tv. Het complex beschikt over een mooi ondiep zwembad (1.22 m) welke wij overdags bijna als privé zwembad hadden.  Aan het eind van de dag en 's avonds kwamen er wat bewoners zwemmen, die allemaal erg vriendelijk waren. Er heerst een hele relaxte sfeer.
's Nachts was het erg rustig, geen last van geluid of verkeer.
Bij de receptie is boven een ruimte waarin je gratis gebruik kunt maken van een pooltafel, tafeltennis en computer met printer.
De ligging is ook perfect, dichtbij een grote supermarkt (op loopafstand) en binnen een paar minuten afstand rijden van Barton Springs en het centrum.
De informatie die wij van de verhuurder kregen was uitgebreid en duidelijk en bij vragen kregen wij snel een antwoord. In eerste instantie hadden wij deze ruimte voor een week geboekt maar omdat het ons hier zo goed beviel, hebben wij tijdens ons verblijf nog 4 nachten extra geboekt. Ook dit was heel snel met de verhuurder geregeld.  Dus al met al de perfecte plaats voor een heerlijke vakantie. Justin en Corina, bedankt voor jullie bijdrage aan een onvergetelijke vakantie!"
6219301,50832237,2015-10-15,36631469,Odgerel,"Me and my friend stayed for over a month, and it was a great experience. Whenever we asked for something, they responded very quick. I highly recommend staying here :)"
6219301,51447994,2015-10-20,8943506,Maya,"This is a great place for two couples to stay in Austin.  Justin gave great instructions about how to access the apartment and was super responsive to inquiries.  It is not located that close to downtown, so you will probably need a car, but there is abundant parking in the facility.  The place is super funky, cute, and aptly weird as a place in Austin should be.  It was also nice to have laundry and a open kitchen with a dishwasher.  Defiantly a great place to stay if you do not want to be among the craziness of downtown."
6219301,51652340,2015-10-22,19133024,New,Great location and excellent space. Loved the decor. Place was plenty spacious for 2 couples. Very clean!

4205618,22040485,2014-10-28,8146753,Tommy,"Bradley was great as was his house. He made us feel very at home, delivering a few beers and red wine on arrival, as well as giving us a lift to our hotel DT when it was time for us to move on. The house is in a great part of East Austin with lots of cool bars and restaurants nearby, as well as having DT at an easily walkable distance. There were a couple of really nice BBQ trucks across the way and a convenience store one block away which had everything. The house itself was perfect, nicely done up and comfortable for me and my friend, exactly what we were looking for. 

All in all, very good and will definitely be in touch next time we're in Austin!

"
4205618,22379611,2014-11-04,20922784,Hugo,"Is a really nice house in a really cool area. It is so close from the down town and there are lots of cool places around.
Brad will help you in everything he can to make you a great stay.
I will come back nextt year!

4205618,22535476,2014-11-09,21817424,Frank,It is a very cool house in a good quiet area. It was immaculate and decorated very cool. The beds were VERY comfortable. Bradley was an excellent host; would reach out via text to see if we needed anything but would not bother us otherwise. A short cab ride or drive to downtown and very close to Rainey Street. Everthing worked great including the cable and internet. I highly recommend staying here!
4205618,24695200,2015-01-01,2229007,Rachel,"love love LOVED staying at the holly kat house. it was clean, convenient, and most importantly, beautifully appointed. east austin is my favorite neighborhood to stay in and this trip exceeded all my expectations. close to fun bars and amazing restaurants, the location couldn't be better. bradley was excellent with communication and made sure i had everything i needed. really enjoyed pretending like i lived in this adorable place for a few days ;)"
4205618,29890349,2015-04-13,214646,Toshi,"Great stay, great spot, and great host. Would definitely go back."

6412627,48714533,2015-09-28,10024254,Brad,The house was great! Very modern. Very convenient to everything. It was really nice just being able to walk to Rainey Street. 
72318,203100,2011-03-19,426601,Micah,Alyson was a fantastic host! Her place is comfortable and relaxing. The location is perfect. We walked/jogged to Zilker Park and right into downtown to check out the city. I would do it all over again!
72318,206984,2011-03-22,441694,Julien,This was my first experience using this site and it could not have been any better or easier with Alyson. Would stay with her anytime i go to austin.
72318,223923,2011-04-11,492790,Cathrine,"Great place, location and host. Absolutely perfect. "
72318,558218,2011-09-22,83020,Chelsea,Great place with a fantstic host. I had a great time in Austin!
72318,704765,2011-11-08,1367960,Michael,"I really enjoyed my stay at the Lotus House. Alyson is a fantastic host and I felt very much at home during my time there. Both home and host were  warm and inviting; I really appreciated Alyson's knowledge and great leads on various restaurants, neighborhoods and places to visit during my stay. The Lotus House is located in a quiet neighborhood but very convenient to South Congress and some of the best areas in town and a short bike ride to downtown. It was great to be able to borrow a bike during my stay. I will definitely stay here again when next in Austin and highly recommend Lotus House and Alyson to anyone visiting the city. "
72318,891405,2012-01-30,1584076,Vida,"We really enjoyed staying at the Lotus House.  Alyson is a wonderful host!  She was so pleasant to talk to and her house is very welcoming, warm, and clean.  A place you can just take your shoes off and wind down, just like coming back home after a long day.  I will look her up again next time we are in Austin and highly recommend her. "
72318,977358,2012-03-06,480829,Andy,Alyson's house is fantastic: spacious; beautiful; clean; and excellent location to Zilker Park and down town. I'll be staying here the month of June.
72318,998813,2012-03-14,1562233,Brooke,What a great place to stay when you visit Austin! Alyson is an incredible hostess and the Lotus House is a relaxing retreat. I had the luxury of staying in the beautiful bedroom upstairs which has a full bath and balcony. The accommodations were comfortable and private. Highly recommend staying here. 
72318,1211230,2012-05-01,1257100,Elionora,"Lotus House is AMAZING, the location is breathtaking all by itself but once you enter the actual inside, it honestly feels like home. The photos do not give this place the justice it deserves. It's full of beautiful light, positive energy, and the littlest details throughout every corner remind you how close you really are to earth. My partner and I, unfortunately, did not meet Alyson on our trip although she did contact us, kept in touch, and was extremely helpful prior to us arriving. When we were checking in, her friend was patient and welcoming on our brief meet; we settled in without any problem. It was quiet and peaceful here, one of those places that make you want to stay in just to enjoy the beauty around you. The patio has doors from the bedroom and the bathroom gives you the most simple view, trees and more trees (who doesn't want to see that after waking up or stepping out of a shower? Which by the way, they have great water pressure!). The sun room gives you an overlook of warm, open Austin with comfy couches to relax in and goodness, we wished we had more time to enjoy everything this place has to offer. If we could live here, we really would. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Austin and wanting to stay somewhere clean, spacious, genuine, and absolutely lovely. We would not hesitate on coming here again and booking Lotus House. Thank you again, Alyson!"
72318,1603207,2012-07-01,2428539,Matt,"What an awesome location! The heart of Austin is in the palm of your hand, yet you feel like you're a million miles away in this little oasis. Alyson is an awesome host and takes great care of her guests. Her home is a great place to hang your hat for a while!"
72318,1920069,2012-08-07,319548,Mathieu,"Alyson & Max's is such a peaceful place. It was a great to stay there a few days, it really helped me recharge my batteries after traveling intensely for 2 weeks. If you want to have a nice and cosy place to relax when in Austin this is the place."
72318,2204119,2012-09-04,1567644,Jason,Max was a great host.  He accommodated us on an hour's notice and even put out extra air mattresses for us to use.  The house is very tidy and in a great location.  The area is very quiet and filled with trees so you wake up in the morning and can enjoy the sun and nature.  Definitely recommend him.  One day we hiked to Barton Creek - a fantastic walk!
72318,3437252,2013-01-29,1628599,Sara,Alyson was a great host and the house was very clean and well organized.  It was a great place to stay and a great location.  Thanks so much for your hospitality;)
72318,3743825,2013-03-11,431794,Tim,"Alyson and Max are fantastic!  Max brought my wife breakfast tacos and made coffee, a super nice gesture.  Their home is on a cul-de-sac tucked away from town (download Taxi Magic to get around), quiet, peaceful, and relaxing.  Say hello to their sweet kitty ""Mama.""  While there I helped two other guests with rides around town and to the airport (Max connected us).  Their home is a great example of the sharing economy.  We will be back!!"
72318,3782596,2013-03-14,4711908,William,"This room is gorgeous.  Even better than the pictures show.  The private bath is huge, and the private balcony is a great place to sit and read.  

Alyson is a super host, pro in every way.  She introduced me to a few things I should know about Austin (my first time there) and connected me to some great people, but was great about letting me just be as I stayed there.  

I can't recommend Alyson and her space enough.  A+!  "
72318,10882134,2014-03-11,12000852,Sevgi,"Great hosts, detail oriented and thoughtful. Miss Prudence is also the sweetest cat ever. "
72318,11008336,2014-03-17,9069931,Trevor,"Alyson and Max were super helpful and hospitable during my stay, staying really responsive to any questions and concerns I had during my trip. The house is absolutely beautiful and I had no problem at all achieving my inner zen after spending my entire day in the madness of SXSW.

Also the house is in a good location for biking downtown. I walked almost every night and even though there were a ton of hills and I was already dead-tired, it was a very manageable walk. I highly recommend this place!"
72318,11523016,2014-04-06,10374593,Chloe,"The location of the house was amazing. Tucked in a quiet neighborhood right by Barton Springs, I loved hearing the birds chirp and was a great place for me to escape the buzzing of the city. The house was clean, the ammentities were great, and my sleeps comfortable. I met Max briefly before he went of a trip, Alyson was out of town. Max recommended some great places/things to check out, and although brief, he was a pleasure to talk to. Alyson was very helpful and available via phone. The only disappointment was not getting to spend more time with both of them! I recommend staying here!"
72318,11729316,2014-04-13,6165441,Rebecca,"This place is the best!! The location is perfect - tucked right into the Barton Hills. The balcony upstairs is quiet and relaxing, facing the backyard, and the front sunroom has awesome views of the sunset over the hills. Alyson and Max are so friendly and very communicative. We felt very welcome. Everything was clean and tidy, and Max called to let us know there was granola and coffee cake after we arrived. Perfect getaway in the city. "

72318,21606128,2014-10-20,16782909,Evan,"Alyson and Max have a great place in one of my favorite parts of South Austin. It is a quiet little oasis, away from a lot of the noise/bustle of the constantly growing city. A very relaxing vibe.

Max was a great host. He made us feel very welcome and gave us plenty of space to kick back. There was one other guest at the time, who was also really nice. It never felt like we encroached on each other's space.

And also, their cat is great!"

Max did a great job of setting me up at the house and a fridge stocked with bagels and cream cheese was an added treat! Would definitely stay here again when visiting ATX. "
72318,50634774,2015-10-13,15923269,Christopher,Stayed here for 5 days in October for ACL Music Festival. Proximity made for a comfortable walk to the festival at Zilker Park. The room was large and comfortable with private bathroom and Balcony. The room has been nicely updated as well. We were very comfortable and Max was a gracious host. I would definitely stay here again if I find myself in Austin. Über rides to downtown Austin and the airport were inexpensive and convenient.

I had a good time and would definitely stay here again. "
4130342,31413369,2015-05-04,22551659,Malcolm,"Terrific experience. Located within minutes of several excellent restaurants as well as the main streets that take you downtown. Comfy bed and comfy couch, too. Partial views of downtown from her balcony. We liked the fact that there was no TV. But you could play music through a stereo receiver that she leaves out conveniently. 

Jaclyn wasn't there to meet us but she made sure check in/check out was easy. 

No problems whatsoever. Enjoyed our stay!  "

4130342,38228079,2015-07-13,36997984,Jarvis,"The Zen Den was a neat place to stay.  A lot of thought was put into this space to make it welcoming, calming, eccentric and simplistic.  The host placed a lot of nice touches that really made us enamored with the place.  It's vibe was awesome. It's relatively close to Downtown Austin, Austin-Bergstrom Airport and many, if not all, of the major highways used to get around Austin.  We loved it and would definitely stay again!  "

The location is amazing, the view is even better than the pictures, and her home is so clean & comfy. I agree completely with the other reviewer who said that it feels like I just have the key to a friend's place. The stereo in the bath/living room, the lighting, and the candles are icing on the cake. Jaclyn was sweet and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody looking to stay in the area! "

It's a quick drive to the shops/restaurants/food trucks of South Congress and South 1st, as well as the airport. We especially loved going to Radio Coffee & Bar, just down the road! We didn't get to meet Jaclyn, but her emails were all friendly and prompt. Would definitely recommend!"

Great pool, lobby, and the extra guest room was great for my four roommates and I during our stay. Plenty of room and a private bathroom as well.

She was cooking when I arrived and offered me a bite to eat, which was very nice. I only stayed one night, and I slept for most of it, but I would stay definitely again. I was given my own key, and told to come & go as I pleased, and to leave whenever I was ready. The best part about my stay, was Echo the dog!!"

Her apartment was clean & cozy. The Master Bedroom & connected bath were spacious, neat, & private. She ensured I was comfortable and had plenty of towels. She made amazing muffins and offered me anything in her fridge & free wifi to boot! Her dog, Echo, bless her heart, even took a little nap with me. Needless to say I fell in love. I'd definitely stay again & recommend to others. "

2432311,13576446,2014-05-31,14558695,Lynnette,"Nicole and Andrew were pretty friendly hosts, and their dog Echo is the BEST dog ever. Nicole was very flexible about the check-in time as well as leaving us our own key to enter the house. The room was okay, kind of boring and not very guest friendly-- I say this because there wasn't even soap in the dispenser for the bathroom. In addition, I woke up in the morning and realized my sheets were covered in animal fur and other particles. My stay was okay, not great, not bad. Just okay. "

They had everything we ever could have wanted, from extra towels and blankets to spare soaps and shampoos.

2432311,28830965,2015-03-30,29298228,Yazminh,"Communication was great! Nicole and Andrew were very nice and helpful. Room was comfortable, clean, quiet. Perfect for a single person or couple. Foam mattresses were comfortable but very narrow, so would prob be good just for a child.  Def recommend for a place to crash for the night. "
2432311,29457244,2015-04-07,11546020,Marit,"We enjoyed very much staying with Niki and Andrew and their lovely dog Echo. They prepared everything for our arrival and we had the convenience of arriving whenever we wanted, since Andrew was waiting for us at home. The room and the bathroom were clean and as pictured and the neighbourhood very quiet. We could use the kitchen whenever we wanted and they even helped us out with things, we havent got. 
You definitely would need a car to stay here, but there is plenty of space in front of the house.
Niki and Andrew are a very nice couple and they found the right balance between talking with us and giving us our own space. We recommend staying with them!"
2432311,30315743,2015-04-20,13141202,Laurie,"My room at Nicole's was perfect for my needs. It was roomy & clean.  On a weekend morning, it took only about 15 minutes to get to downtown Austin. Echo is a sweet & friendly dog; I'd stay here again."
2432311,31177225,2015-05-03,28225006,Sabine,"Aangename kamer bij Niki en Andrew, rustige buurt, en Echo is een schat van een hond. Altijd leuk om bij de mensen thuis te logeren en hen beter te leren kennen. Een auto is wel handig aangezien Austin geen uitgebreid openbaar vervoer heeft. "
2432311,31994641,2015-05-12,27242443,Hayden,Nicole and her husband gave us the perfect amount of assistance without bothering us. Everything was as described and their Dog was very friendly. Their fridge & microwave work very well as does their shower. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your home!
2432311,32002889,2015-05-12,32394216,Calvin,"Nicole was great, and the house was super clean. Would recommend to anyone staying in Austin!"
2432311,32594433,2015-05-19,25347603,Nefer,My stay at Nicole's was perfect. Room was just were we were looking for. The bed was comfortable and clean. 
2432311,33253009,2015-05-26,26863473,Jose,"My son, daughter and I enjoyed our visit and stay at the Clauder residence.  Nicole and Andrew were very hospitable and accommodating.  We felt right at home in their house. "
2432311,33860042,2015-06-01,17368867,Christina,The stay was perfect for our traveling needs.  The host was very accommodating and kind.
2432311,34436408,2015-06-08,11964982,Caroline,"Amazing experience!
We stay 2nights and that was great. Even if the schedule that we had did not give us the opportunity to meet Nicole. We saw Andrew on the morning and he gave us some tips and advice for Austin. Like going to go eat in a certain place. 

They are really kind and you will feel really comfortable as we were. We came late on the Friday and they were really nice and gave us the opportunity to enter in the house even if they weren't there. 
Their dog Echo was the first to welcoming us, and trust me it's the best welcoming you could have! He is so adorable.

The place was clean and comfortable. 


Thank you so much."
2432311,36636917,2015-06-29,29019536,Giuseppe,"Everything was perfect! We slept in four people in our room (one bed and one mattress), and everything was confortable!
You guys were so kind, and your dog is so cute!
Thank you!"
2432311,38227231,2015-07-13,37796628,Martha,"We had such a great first time airbnb experience , we would most definitely do this again.  Nikki and Andrew were very helpful and accommodating to our needs. Our stay was brief but very comfortable, bed was so soft, we didn't want to wake up. They directed us to the local Gus's fried chicken!!! It was so good, no bbq sauce needed!! Neighborhood is clean and quiet. I wish we would of had more time, it was nice to chat a bit with them both, very nice and interesting couple!
Thank you both for having us in your home.
Marty"
2432311,38461308,2015-07-15,38074749,Nick,"The Clauders hosted me and four of my friends for two nights in Austin. We arrived very late to their home, but Nicole was incredibly accommodating and let us come and go as we pleased. Their house was in a very nice location, a short drive from downtown, but not too far away. And to top it off, they have the world's friendliest dog. All in all, a great first experience with Airbnb."
2432311,41659446,2015-08-08,33162559,Allison,"Overall, this was a great experience for my first time using Airbnb. Nicole and Andrew were super friendly and excellent hosts! "
2432311,42886515,2015-08-16,33724676,Ashley,"My friend and I needed a place to crash for the night and this room was perfect! We met Nicole, and she was very sweet! They both respected our privacy and had an adorable and very sweet dog! I would defiantly recommend this place! Great find!"
2432311,43320891,2015-08-18,25672491,Sabina,"Nicole was a great host! Very informative once we arrived, providing us with all the information needed. She also let us to do laundry late which saved us as we were on a cross country road trip. Definitely in the outskirts of Austin but a safe area to leave your car. Would recommend staying if you don't mind a few minute uber ride or drive to downtown Austin."
2432311,44304723,2015-08-25,37124461,Julia,"Niki and Andrew had a wonderful and beautiful home which they were willing to share with us for the entirety of our stay. With our own private bedroom and bathroom in their house, it really allowed us to relax. Niki even offerred us a second bedroom to use so we wouldnt be too crowded. They live in a wonderful part of Austin which keeps you close enough to enjoy it, but far away enough to keep you sane from the traffic. Echo is a fantastic dog, with a wonderful temperament,  and she makes sure to steal all the love she can get. Fantastic experience, and I would recommend everyone to stay here 100%."
2432311,46171990,2015-09-08,40651364,Audrey,We had a great time staying at Nicole's place! We were given two rooms which ended up being a godsend. The hosts were very nice and offered suggestions for dinner. They have a food passport that previous guests left suggestions in. Its not too far from down town and there is a fun little pioneer village a few minutes from the house. We are also dog people so Echo was an absolute delight! 
2432311,48015135,2015-09-22,41329701,Ricardo,"Nick and Andrew made us feel like home, everything was just as announced, if not better."

2432311,49778012,2015-10-06,40433226,Daniela,"Nicole and Andrew's house is very nice and our time in there was lovely, also their dog Echo, they made us feel like home, I recommend it 100%."
2432311,51066131,2015-10-17,37455276,Stephen,Nicole was very welcoming.  Room was spacious and comfortable.
2432311,52071395,2015-10-26,43418313,Jenny,"We really enjoyed our stay there. The house is great, easy to get there. It's clean. The room was great and clean too.
Nicole & Andrew are really friendly people.
And Echo is such a cute dog. We loved her.
We would definitely stay with them again.
:)"
2432311,52934121,2015-11-02,13497499,Daniel,"Nicole was an AMAZING host.  She made us feel extremely welcome.  Her place was totally clean and her dog is super friendly.  We had a blast at her place.  Nice big house to hang out in.

She allowed us to check in at any time, and also left nice little notes around the house, like ""help yourself to some extra toiletries"".  She had a cupboard full of toothbrushes, toothpastes, floss, mouth wash, etc... in case we forgot ours.

I would DEFINITELY stay there again."
5499091,27896368,2015-03-14,14446217,Offer,"John was very nice to me, he made sure I feel comfortable in the house, the house was very clean and well kept ! The neighborhood is very nice as well."
5499091,28221700,2015-03-20,18593252,Ruth,"Jonn was an excellent host! His home was clean & comfortable and we were lucky enough to get a guided tour of Downtown Austin because when Lyft was acting up, he generously agreed to drive us to the fun. Bonus points for the tasty sweets and lovely note left for us on the day we checked out. Highly recommend this place!"
5499091,28344038,2015-03-22,20620166,Paul,"thanks John for your welcome   and for the brownies!
The house and the room were very pretty and clean, evertyhing was nice!
"
5499091,29027655,2015-04-02,18870444,Dale,"John is a friendly host who replied very promptly my requests. His house is in a good neighborhood. The room is quiet, spacy, clean and comfortable."
5499091,30273143,2015-04-19,4705360,Levi,"John's home was one of the most comfortable and clean places I've ever stayed. Great location for me, closer to the trails than the city, still very easy to get into downtown. Highly recommended, a total bargain for the price too. Thank you!"
5499091,30648559,2015-04-25,31544684,Sarah,"Comfy bed, temperature, and clean. This is a nice setup. I would have stayed an additional night if I'd remembered to book it in time. "
5499091,30960418,2015-04-29,31658608,Lavant,"John was a great host and really made me feel welcome. The best part was the friendly hospitality code entry, cleanliness, how quiet the place was and so I got a very good night sleep! John was even able to pull all this off while returning from a long voyage of his own! "
5499091,33485643,2015-05-28,3048880,Niki,"We were more than welcome in his home and were very, very glad we stayed here. "
5499091,35159352,2015-06-15,15064774,Alexis,Jonn was a great host. He has a beautiful home in nice location just a few minutes from downtown. My husband and I only saw Jonn for a few minutes in person but he was easy to reach by text and has a very hilarious sense of humor. I would highly recommend staying here!
5499091,36157946,2015-06-25,33771318,Joel,"Jonn has become my go-to guy for lodging during my frequent trips to Austin this month.  He is easy to work with, very accommodating, and offers a comfortable, appealing, quiet place to stay. We also had an interesting discussion about movies, and the transition from film to digital. Always a good experience!"
5499091,36424714,2015-06-28,14397801,Michael,I really enjoyed my stay at Jonn's house.  Very clean and quiet.  My bed was comfortable and the shower worked perfectly... There wasn't much more I could ask for.  Definitely worth the price.  My only regret is that I didn't get to meet Jonn in person and compliment him on all the fun movie posters decorating his place!
5499091,37911000,2015-07-11,2260623,Mark,Jonn's house was perfect for my Circuit of Americas trip. Location was close... Room was clean. Great communication and easy access. Met Jonn next morning and had a good visit.. definitely would stay again. 
5499091,38089146,2015-07-12,38186540,Gerolf,Everything was awesome and clean! We  are planning on coming back to his place already!
5499091,40506155,2015-07-31,38791868,Jason,"Jonn was a really nice guy, also very busy so don't see him around very much. The house is pretty roomy with plenty of things to watch with his home theatre(which is really cool). There were two other potential rooms which can either add or take away from a pleasant experience, I guess I got the short end of the deal. Other than that it is a really great place to stay, I've never had my privacy infringe on or even felt like I wasn't welcome."
5499091,41688104,2015-08-08,7268127,Jan,"
  The room /accomodation is exactly as described. 
  Jonn is a wonderful host and took time to talk to me at length and extend his hospitality. 
  The room is large, airy and has a very comfortable bed.    
  The kitchen is 'very' well equipped and Jonn allowed me the use of his refrigerator to store food.  
The home has an excellent A/Video system with more options than I could ever use  (good thing).  
    
  Would love to stay over with Jonn on my next trip to Austin.

Thanks very much Jonn!"
5499091,43005212,2015-08-16,25046030,Vinay,Room was given well before stated time. There was no problem accessing the property. Stay was pleasant.

5499091,43711454,2015-08-21,29836921,Mira,Jonn is a lovely guy and his house is awesome! The room was cozy and clean and every issue we had was easy to handle with him. We highly recommend to stay at Jonn's!
5499091,44602969,2015-08-27,6328982,Khadija,One of my most pleasant airbnb experiences. Would recommend. 
5499091,45049977,2015-08-30,22330050,Ramin,The house was very nice & quite.  Did not get to meet John  but had a good experience staying there.
5499091,45449266,2015-09-02,42907378,Noella,"Everything was better than expected. Nice neighborhood, comfy beds, very accommodating host. It was a perfect first experience for me."
5499091,45761313,2015-09-05,18981426,Marcela,Quick response and fast booking. John was very accommodating.  We were arriving late at night and he made it easy for us to access his home. We stayed in the private room with the shared bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the sheets and towels were nice and clean. The other room was not occupied so we had the bathroom to ourselves. The only thing I would recommend is hanging a mirror in bedroom so a guest can get ready in bedroom in case anyone else needs the bathroom. Overall a pleasant stay!
5499091,45910689,2015-09-06,41075808,Mulai,Great place! 
5499091,46460324,2015-09-10,33771318,Joel,"The accommodations are immaculately clean, as well as comfortable and quiet. Jonn is a helpful host, and communicates frequently to make sure I know how to get in, and so that he will know when to expect my arrival. A great place to stay!"
5499091,49147423,2015-10-01,43179778,Gabriela,"Eu e meu namorado passamos 5 dias em Austin e foi uma experiência muito boa! Jonn nos deixou a vontade, vimos ele apenas uma vez, e ele nos disponibilizou tudo para que tivéssemos uma boa estadia na sua casa. Além de tudo, tinha Netflix no quarto, o que nos deixou ainda mais satisfeitos. O único ponto negativo é a localização, isso para quem não está de carro. O bairro é bem longe de downtown, tendo apenas uma linha de ônibus nos arredores. Pegávamos dois ônibus para chegar no centro da cidade, o que, para nós, não foi um grande problema já que os ônibus em Austin são tranquilos e o aplicativo indica quanto tempo demora para o ônibus passar. Num geral, foi uma ótima experiência! "
5499091,50383024,2015-10-11,32962473,Kendra,"My friend and I were just looking for a one night landing space for our very short visit.  The room we rented was perfect.  Equipped with Tv, space to hang our clothes and other storage, and the MOST comfortable bed I have slept on in years.  Jonn was an extremely prompt and responsive host.  We had clear instructions on what room was ours and everything was exactly as it was described.  With unseasonably warm temps, and a second floor room, the temperature in our room was a little stuffy upon arrival.   This was quickly remedied by a quick message to Jonn, whom has the capability to control his remotely.  He gladly adjusted the air.  His flexible checkout time worked perfectly after a long night on the town. We were able to enjoy that comfy bed until our other obligations beckoned.  Jonn has several options, I am sure they are all equally wonderful."
5499091,51580522,2015-10-21,46336526,Wei,"Jonn prepared the room very fast. The room I stayed there is very clean and comfortable, I would highly recommend!"
5499091,52120591,2015-10-26,30117880,Ken,"Jonn is a superb host. Check in/Check out was a breeze, the room was better than the pictures show and his home is super clean. Perfect location for events in Austin and especially Circuit of the Americas. I am hopeful this room is available when I return in the spring.  Thanks Jonn! :)"
5499091,52384227,2015-10-28,47409751,Amanda,"This was our first experience with air bnb and , I didn't really like it . I LOVED IT !!! I'll always use this app ! I will try and stay with Jon next time if, he will have us . It was fast easy  and, real affordable. I couldn't imagine a better stay !! Thanks Jon !! "
5499091,53153661,2015-11-05,46336526,Wei,This is my second time staying in Jonn's house. Always clean and comfortable. Jonn prepared the room very fast. I definitely highly recommend!
5325640,28013340,2015-03-16,27615767,Jillian,"Joe's Cozy 2BD is exactly what we were expecting from the pictures! The apartment was very clean and open! The jack n' jill bathrooms were a lifesaver for the two bedrooms! The neighborhood was very safe and the transportation options to downtown were readily available with minimal fees. Joe was a great host, he communicated very well prior and after arrival! We highly recommend this rental! "
5325640,28474778,2015-03-24,12997945,Elizabeth,Such an excellent time staying at Joe's beautiful apartment! Everything you could possibly need and more. Super accommodating and Joe was the all-time host! I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again! THANKS JOE!!
7026219,45646509,2015-09-04,18219279,Lucie,Michael was really nice! Can ' t find better host ! 
7026219,45917058,2015-09-06,25816178,Femi,Michael was a very good host for our overnight stay in Austin. He accepted out booking with very short noticed and had great communication. 
7026219,47885635,2015-09-21,33759614,Nicole,"Michael's place was perfect for a few nights stay in Austin! Super close to UT and the bus system, which made it cheap and easy to get downtown. Wheatsville Co-Op and a CVS were also close by which was really convenient. He was super nice and easy to hold a conversation with, but still respected personal space. Definitely recommend if you don't mind the small living quarters."
7026219,48659382,2015-09-27,22330050,Ramin,"Michael was very nice and the place was just as mentioned.
"
7026219,50218370,2015-10-10,44743144,Allie,"Great place and close to UT!! Close quarters, but for a short trip it serves it's purpose well! And our host was quite friendly :)"
1589824,10901522,2014-03-12,11182593,Brian,"Had an amazing and fun stay.  Elizabeth was fantastic and we were blown aware when we arrived.  The house is a charming neighborhood, super spacious, with great style, and close to everything.  We didn't have a car and were able to walk to everything.  Each bedroom was comfortable and private, which was great.  Would definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin."
1589824,13104198,2014-05-19,6135199,Cathy,"DON'T!!  She will contact you incessantly regarding arrangements and then
we arrived to find Elizabeth THROWING clothes/shoes/hangers/platform beds OUT THE DOORS, running around the house attempting to clean.  We had arrived at 6pm as stated & were told to wait an additional 15-20 minutes.  We waited  20 minutes then I went to see what was going on when I saw everything tossed outside & in also a pick-up filled with things from house!  I was told not to go into an area (""B"" side) due to ""it's a hazard right now"" & indeed stuff was piled up inside the door & you could see things tossed in the room.  I left the house & was UNABLE TO CONTACT AIRBNB despite my urgent text/email that I needed to be called on my phone!  I waited over an hour and no contact on my phone - finally drove back to the house @ 8:15pm as we had no other alternative due to graduation week-end @ UT, etc.  My daughter had arrived just prior to me & Elizabeth gave the key & left stating ""I'll bring back some draino for the bathroom sink, the house is old"".     I ran around & cleaned what I could before the rest of my family arrived.   Suffice to say - floors filthy,   multiple pins and trash found on B side when she knew an 18 month old was with us, divan filthy (I covered with a blanket left on the back), but that roomwas supposed to have 2 twin beds as shown in the picture.  ANYWAY, I have rented from AIRBNB many times but this was a nightmare - Elizabeth is extremely DISORGANIZED & DON'T BELIEVE HER WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT HER HOUSE-KEEPER or the things she can arrange/provide.  NOT DEPENDABLE, she contacted my daughter ( who she knew was not staying in the house) every day due to forgetting cat, draino, journal, and mysterious skirt was found hanging in the backyard by her laundry room the last day of stay(?)  The house could be lovely, but was not clean & not as promised at all, and to make worse - could not contact AIRBNB for any other arrangement.    EVEN IF THINGS WERE CLEAN AND AS SHOWN IN PICTURES,  THIS HOUSE IS NOT FOR EVENTS - 1 BATHROOM (B SIDE) W/GOOD SHOWER/TUB.  BOTH SINKS STOPPED UP UNLESS DRAINO, NOT ABLE TO DRESS/PREPARE FOR ANY KIND OF EVENT AT THE HOUSE.  I COULD GO ON ABOUT THE DAMP, MOLDY PIECE OF WOOD LEFT ACROSS THE CLAW-FOOT A-SIDE TUB & USED SOAP, ETC. LEFT, TRASH & BED FRAME THINGS LEFT AROUND THE PERIMETER OF HOUSE, ETC.  BUT JUST DON'T.  "
4538217,24686904,2015-01-01,25141565,Nate,"What a fantastic stay! This was my first experience renting a house for the evening and I have to say, I would do it again! I hosted a New Years Even party of about 25 people and had 10 people stay the night. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to prepare enough food for a small army, the 65in TV kept people entertained, and the backyard was fantastic. 

Eli made sure that there were space heaters in each room, warned us about the downstairs toilet being finicky (Which has already been fixed by now!), there were even mints on the pillows! Eli went above and beyond and supplied us with bottles of Champagne and home brewed beer for myself and my guests. 

Eli seemed to always have his phone on him if I had questions. He was personable and easy to talk to if I had any questions or concerns. I have to say, if I had any doubts about staying here, they are gone now! I would definitely stay again for my next get together. "
4538217,28304528,2015-03-22,24009345,Hq,Eli was an excellent host. He was really accommodating and his place was very clean and spacious. He also provided us with airport service during SXSW-he really goes above and beyond! 
4538217,32946335,2015-05-23,20284515,Roger,"Eli was extremely accommodating after my original reservation fell through. With 3 days until my family was due to arrive for my graduation, I had no place for them to stay. Luckily Eli understood and accommodated my family as if they were his own.  The listing description was very accurate and the house is beautifully designed. The neighborhood was calm with not much traffic passing through. If you have a large group and need a place to stay in Austin, look no further. "
8238338,49396787,2015-10-03,35347491,Kevin,"We had a great experience with Elizabeth. Communication was prompt and easy, and she was very welcoming. The house was beautiful and well decorated! Very spacious and the backyard was amazing.  Perfect place to sit and hang out with a group of friends.  It was a real nice area of town too. Would stay again!"
8238338,51949610,2015-10-25,45558959,Dwayne,"We stayed at Elizabeth's place for the F1 weekend. The location was well situated for activities around Austin and downtown.

8580840,51941923,2015-10-25,45243081,Carl,The listing was as described! Quit neighborhood and very convenient.  It rained all weekend so we did not walk to places but uber and the apartment location made it very easy to get wherever we wanted very quickly. The apartment was clean and cozy. Adrian was a great host.  He communicated very well and was extremely flexible in working with us as far as check in/check out times.   Cant say enough good things! 
139693,910387,2012-02-09,533809,Jessi,"Coleman and crew welcomed me from the get-go, making me feel comfortable and so happy to be there.  The experience in this community is absolutely unique.  It's a great place to relax.  You feel like you are in a lil hacienda in the woods, but you are only a few miles from the heart of the city.  
I was set up in a clean, beautiful room with a cozy bed and a wood burning stove to keep me warm this winter.  My roommates made me feel welcome, offering lots of suggestions for ways to get to know Austin, and showing me the ropes around the property.
Lots of knowledge floatin around with the housemates, if you are interested in health, wellness, mindfulness, there is so much to learn here!  
If you are looking for something a little off the beaten trail, with lots of character, and a great location this is your spot.  :)"
139693,960530,2012-02-29,1785666,Natalie,We had a wonderful visit to Austin and Coleman's Eco Nature Retreat may have been our favorite part about the trip. The peacefulness of the retreat set a positive tone for our stay. The community's environmental philosophy and practices is enlightening. This is a gem of a place and a real inspiration for a better quality of life!
139693,1219404,2012-05-02,2208411,Grant,"I had a great time. The location is excellent. It's not too far (1500ft) from civilization but still has a sense of remoteness to it.
A perfect Eco-Bungalow. And a great place to bike or ride the bus into town from. Overall I had a great time in Austin and this place was one of the reasons."
139693,2881787,2012-11-13,4067536,Andrew,"It is admirable how Coleman is living the way he is (i.e. with solar power); I also found Coleman very flexible.  I had uncertain plans, yet he worked with me.  This place is not for everyone as some people want electricity and running water 24/7, but if you want to support an eco-friendly place for a decent price, then this is for you."
139693,2928180,2012-11-20,3697095,Oscar,"Better than an ordinary appartment, house or room, big spaces, nature contact, eco-friendly energy ..... and a great livingroom fireplace.

"
139693,3075480,2012-12-11,4337974,Patrick,"The setting and energy of Coleman's retreat felt pretty magical.  The home was very welcoming and relaxing,  I would love to stay there again!"
139693,3227094,2013-01-02,1416701,Ilya,"Great place, surrounded by nature. It feels like you staying a fifty miles from town, but it's just 5 minutes walk to a bus stop and 25 minutes ride to Downtown."
139693,3397731,2013-01-22,4680634,Richard,"The home and property were well beyond what I could ever have imagined! I didn't realize there could be so much solitude, tranquility and nature in Texas! Lovely accommodations and friendly people. "
139693,3476003,2013-02-04,4652151,Chris,"Coleman was a very friendly, helpful and accommodating host; he even upgraded/switched my room to a bigger one without charging extra.  The place was quite and peaceful and it's solar powered so it's very eco-friendly.  I had a nice and pleasant stay here."
139693,3597646,2013-02-20,5090369,Rajath,"loved the experience. Cole and his friends were very helpful and i highly recommend the place! very convenient for downtown, i'll certainly stay with Cole if i'm ever in Austin again."
139693,3650070,2013-02-27,5134945,Amanda,"Eco nature retreat was a country cove in the middle of the city.  I was surprised at how natural and rural it felt while still so close to happening spots in Austin.  I respect Coleman for aspiring to live as eco-friendly as possible and granting this, his place was still very comfortable.  Coleman as a host was friendly and hospitable and excellent at responding to texts and emails.  I would definitely stay here again!"
139693,3699024,2013-03-05,373375,Christine,"We loved staying here. It""s in a beautiful ex-urban setting only 9 miles from the airport and about 10 to 15 minutes to downtown Austin. The accommodations are simple and spacious and you have the feeling of being in communion with nature. Coleman is a very conscientious steward of this place, and has transformed it from a regular home to a place off the grid with all that implies.......being conscious of energy consumption, water, etc. The property abuts a public greenbelt which gives you the sense of being in  rural setting. The yard provides a spacious place for hanging out, sitting silently, doing Chi Kung or Tai Chi or eating your meals. Coleman and the other people we met were very friendly, helpful and informative. We enjoyed our personal time with Coleman. He represents an intention and perspective  that deserves a lot more attention. He walks his talk. Coleman's place is a diamond in the rough. A real gem. We are looking forward to returning and experiencing the further manifestation of Coleman's vision, "
139693,3717388,2013-03-07,1996611,Bo,Coleman was very helpful and considerate during my stay. The other guys in the house are very cool as well. The place is clean and prepared for guests. It was a great stay. 
139693,3751275,2013-03-11,5148730,Ryan,It was great. Colman is very hospitable. 
139693,3844607,2013-03-20,4749252,Damon,"really nice and relaxing place to stay - enjoyed my time here immensely. loved being on the edge of the nature preserve and found it a really positive learning experience to get accustomed to the daily cycle of off-the-grid living in terms of the awareness of energy consumption. the house itself is really quite spacious and everyone really easy going - little bit of a bus ride from downtown but being so close to congress transport was really easy with a short walk to the house from the bus stop. I would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a bit of quite and nature, chilled out people, a interest in sustainable living, and pretty close to downtown "
139693,3883113,2013-03-24,2849306,Thomas,"I sadly did not get to meet Coleman, but his friend and flatmate and other guests were ultra nice people.

I was only there 2 days but his home is such an interesting and enjoyable place. Obviously you need to be able to do without Internet or Electric light if the battery dies...but that's part of the charm for me.

If I get to Austin again this would be my first choice, and can't recommend it enough.

Thanks again to Coleman."
139693,3924664,2013-03-27,544458,Nicolle,Thanks so much for your last minute help. 
139693,3945197,2013-03-29,544458,Nicolle,Thanks so much for your last minute help. 
139693,3989255,2013-04-01,3215210,Ziad,"The place was exactly as described. Joseph was a great host. I picked the place because of the unique setting, as described by Joseph, and staying here for the weekend definitely added to the awesome weekend! "
139693,4100334,2013-04-09,5607423,Laura,"Coleman's ""Eco Nature Retreat"" is a safe and peaceful place for the budget traveler!  I felt very welcome and very safe here - which is not always easy for a single woman to find when traveling alone.  Coleman made me feel right at home and although I didn't spend a lot of time with him, what little time I did spend led me to believe Coleman is truly one-of-a-kind.  Eco-conscious, helpful, intelligent, resourceful, talented (you MUST see his wooden bowls) and generous (I found a book on his bookshelf that I LOVED and he quickly replied ""just take it"").  

When I had questions about Austin, he was very helpful answering them and he also let me use one of his bikes all weekend - which was great!

And, this is just a personal preference, but I am a sucker for a good, warm shower.  In the most ridiculous of traveling situations (and I've been in a lot, hahahaha) - all I really want is a long, hot, shower.  And, when you're traveling you never really know what you're gonna get.  But, if you stay here, you'll have no worries in that department.  I had three hot, amazing shower experiences at the Eco Nature Retreat (the shower has a window looking out into the trees...).  And, the warm water never ran out.  

Last but certainly not least, there were great sounds at Coleman's Nature Retreat - birds mostly.  But, it was very peaceful at night.  And, in the morning, you may hear the rooster -- if you're into that kind of thing (I am...my Grandfather was a farmer...), so, enjoy! "
139693,4184413,2013-04-16,2631481,Amelia,"This home was the perfect base for my wanderlust treatment trip to Austin. An easy bus ride to downtown and UT areas. Also, pretty close to the cathedral of junk. The room was simple and perfectly suited for a good nights sleep. I spent a few mornings just sitting in the sun in the backyard where I was greeted by hawks, cardinals, and blue birds. "
139693,4208587,2013-04-18,1890669,Colin,Great place. Brilliant value. 3 minute walk from south congress bus stop. Would definitely recommend to others
139693,4282484,2013-04-24,3979394,Michael,"A nice place to stay especially if you're on a budget. I had no car and found it very easy to get around from this location. There are multiple bus stops nearby going wherever you may need to go. 
The surroundings are great.  Every morning is a concert of birds and wildlife. The place could have been cleaner but the important things like sheets and shower were clean. "
139693,4308059,2013-04-26,6058769,Barclay,"Coleman's place is a great little getaway that is minutes away from central Austin. He was a welcoming and open host and incredibly accommodating. He offered me an upgrade which I took after seeing the room. Great space, comfy bed, soft sheets. There was even a chocolate on the pillow.

Coleman went over the functionality of the place and built a fire in the stove for me. Unusually for the time of year but well needed in the morning!

Overall, I would absolutely recommend staying at Coleman's. A very serene setting makes it feel a world away from the city,not to mention an incredibly accommodating host."
139693,4359641,2013-04-30,5255898,Sandra,Staying at Coleman's was wonderful! It was in a very nice and relaxing area not far from South Congress. Coleman was a very good host. We met some fun people that were staying in the other room (: I would definitely like to stay here again
139693,4497921,2013-05-08,6104316,Greg,"Coleman was a gracious host, and staying here allowed me to right myself. While this place won't be the best fit for everyone, if you have a yen to take a step back for a week or two and see how a modern Thoreau would live, you will come away with a few interesting stories, and a new ( or renewed!) respect for the examined life. "
139693,4516586,2013-05-10,5414228,Lindsay,"Overall, the place was great.  I left early, though, because the electricity was not on...The house is solar powered - which I think is cool - but the electricity will only come on when the sun hits the roof...and it was gloomy and rainy for the first few days that I got there.  But Coleman is very accommodating and the house and the guests are really nice and cool.  I also like that there is so much greenery, land and even chickens!  Great location and right down the street from Downtown Austin.  I would definitely recommend staying here - unless the weather forecast predicts rain ;)"
139693,5201641,2013-06-17,4515177,Francisco,"We ended up staying at Coleman's place after our other place fell through and he was quick to answer and we were able to get to his place right away which worked out perfectly for us. The place is very spacious and artsy. The bedroom we stayed in was nice, and the electricity worked the entire time we were there (almost) with no problems. My only issue was the fact that Coleman leaves the door open all day and night in order to let the breeze in the house because it is solar powered and there are only fans in the house. Because of this, there probably lives the entire mosquito population of texas coming in and out of the house. My girlfriend got bit really badly by the mosquitos every night despite the mosquito net that is provided over the bed. So as long as you are not susceptible to mosquitos and other insects that might be lurking around. I would recommend a stay in this interesting home."
139693,7466171,2013-09-21,6273163,Milica,"Description and the comments of other guests is similar to mine so I will not repeat them.  It is not for everyone. If you like open camping and outdoors, are at home in the woods or fishing, this will be comfortable, fun place.  If you want the hotel type of accommodation with air-condition, and privacy, you will not find it here.  I had my own room and a shared bathroom.  Coleman is a nice host, was there and is accommodating. "
139693,7533985,2013-09-23,6165441,Rebecca,"Coleman is a very thoughtful host and its really cool how he's taken his house off the grid. He makes certain his guests feel comfortable in what is a different but enjoyable experience. The house is clean and has a great selection of books. The outdoor patio is calm and relaxing with plenty of plants and greenery. I wish I had more time to hang out there and read.

I also learned how much I rely on constant access to electricity. When I came it had rained all day, so the lights were out. Coleman messaged me to let me know ahead of time and had candles lit so I could see when I arrived late at night. There were extra flashlights in my room, so that was perfect. I thought I would be worried but it was no big deal, and I actually went to sleep peacefully instead of milling around and playing on my phone. 

Definitely stay here for something fun and completely different!
"
139693,7715674,2013-09-30,8804825,Sarah,"Coleman is an incredibly heightened being. Staying at his place was an experience of immense lucidity. There's a still calmness that can be felt with the first step unto the property. There are bookshelves filled with novels you won't find anywhere else. The kind that can only find you. If you're looking for a place that allows for introspection of the purest kind, this is the spot.  Coleman has done the work and as a result his property is energetically heightened. I highly recommend this place to those who understand such frequencies."
139693,8183687,2013-10-19,2222064,Jenny,"Coleman was wonderful and thoughtful in every way. His impressive home is ecofriendly and predominately powered by solar power panels. The bedroom is beautiful. While staying, Coleman offered his bike so I could ride around town and he also had fresh farmed eggs... Yum! Visit with an open mind and you will be inspired to be a better human being :)"
139693,8418969,2013-10-29,1241357,Shaun,"The place is what it says it it, an eco retreat. That said, I wasn't expecting to get so many insect bites. Maybe it was the time of year, I don't know. It rained really heavily on my second night resulting in the roof of my room leaking in. Water got onto my phone and iPod but luckily they weren't damaged. 

Joseph wasn't there to meet me when I arrived after a very long day's travel from LA which was disappointing as there was no one else in the house when I arrived at 8pm. Joseph eventually arrived at 10pm. Joseph sent me an email (which I couldn't read because I had no internet access). In the email there were no instructions as to what to do when I arrived or where I was staying. It's worth noting that the house was in complete darkness. I saw Joseph briefly the next morning and never saw him again before I left.

139693,8782153,2013-11-18,8795318,Brian,"Just wanted to say thanks for providing great communication and despite my rather radical change in plans for the weekend in Austin being very understanding about the situation. Top notch communication from Cole. 
I was diverted to a completely different location for the weekend due to preference of folks hosting the event and am a little miffed at not being able to check out Coles place as that was my original intention. Cheers to Cole for having a level of understanding with my plight. Brian "
139693,8997313,2013-12-01,4086496,Selene,"Coleman's place is like a home away from home. As soon as I arrived I didn't want to leave. It's a very peaceful place and it's easy to forget the hustle and bustle of Austin is only a few minutes away, but it's nice that downtown is so close. I highly recommend staying here. My room was nice and comfy. The permanent tenants were very sweet as were fellow airbnb guests. "
139693,9120249,2013-12-08,10254107,Paul,Wow what a great place to stay Coleman was awesome and the Spartan trailer was a really nice escape from the city I give and the place all my recommendations
139693,9291145,2013-12-18,9968352,Dan,"Coleman's crib is an interesting place.  It gives you the feeling of the wilderness yet just a jog out of the driveway and you're into the hustle of Austin, Texas.

The bedroom is nice and has a charm to it as well as the bathroom.  The shower is nice and hot.  Electricity went out for a bit.

The people here are nice.  The scenery is unique.  I arrived at night.  People here knew I was coming, but it was quite something to arrive in the dark using my Iphone to see around.

This place is definitely a nook in the universe and it's funny how it feels like it's kinda in the middle of nowhere in the wilderness yet it's just a short jaunt from civilization.

Slow down, catch your breath and smile for a while

Oops...reminds me I have a Mocha to get to in the kitchen!

139693,10212947,2014-02-06,11822806,Mike,Cole is a great guy with a unique property! Must try :)
139693,11331493,2014-03-30,11797985,Natchra,"Our stay went pretty well. Coleman was easy to communicate with via email and such. We didn't actually meet him while there (or did we? Someone said hello in the parking lot, but no introductions). I'll be honest, the place was a little odd. We felt like we were the only ones there but then would randomly see someone come out of or go into a bedroom. The place itself was pretty clean. I was hoping to swim in the pool in the picture but it was empty. Ah well, it was very affordable and easy to get to... suited us just fine!"
139693,12646315,2014-05-06,4854034,Chuck,"Coleman's place is a little slice of paradise, as far as I am concerned. Super nice guy, and his house is an oasis in Austin that reminded me of when I lived there in the 60's and 70's. Might not be for everyone, but I feel that the peace and traquility you experience there is absolutely unique for a place so close to town."
139693,13110518,2014-05-19,8608974,Adam,"Coleman was a great host. The place was very peaceful, quite and clean. Close to some of the cool spots in Austin. I plan on staying again on my next trip to Austin. "
139693,13476824,2014-05-28,11807023,Jason,"Coleman is a fine host. His place is in the middle of this nature retreat. Nice paths around for fine walks. There are plenty of protection provided in the room for mosquitos and the sun, use it."
139693,19518385,2014-09-14,17538937,Joerg,"Coleman is a cool and very generous host. His wonderful place is pure nature - in the middle of old trees and green wilderness. I loved to listen to the nightly sounds of all those birds, crickets and frogs.
"
139693,21221568,2014-10-13,20893071,Saritha,This house was gorgeous and very welcoming. Coleman was readily available by phone. The place is powered by solar panels so try to save electricity for night use. We got back one night and couldn't see a thing because someone left a fan on I guess. Apparently those use up the electricity the most. During the day the place catches the light pretty well. Felt safe in the neighborhood. 
139693,21984034,2014-10-27,2116998,Jon,"Great place, centrally located, very easy to get around! Joe was great to talk to - a very interesting dude."
139693,22174138,2014-10-31,22937791,Simon,Very good escape and thanks to Coleman for being very quick to get back to me.
139693,22606515,2014-11-10,22778187,Kristi,"Coleman seemed pretty mellow. Showed us everything we needed right when we arrived. We didn't see him much, but he looked like a handy helpful man for sure. The place is very quiet and in a cool area. It almost felt like camping in a house. We had a great time, and would definitely stay again."
139693,22807044,2014-11-15,3138116,Jay,"After spending more than a week sleeping on friends' air mattresses, it was wonderful to spend my time here in a REAL BED!!!!

Coleman did his best to make me feel comfortable. It was unusually cold for Austin, and Coleman made sure that there was a fire going in the fireplace, as well as providing me with an extra blanket for the bed."
139693,23398067,2014-11-30,23422986,Theresa,"Coleman ist ein sehr freundlicher, hilfsbereiter und offener Mensch, und wohnt in einem Haus mit vielfältiger und cooler Einrichtung (darunter selber gemachte Schalen und Tische und immer was zu lesen). Besonders genossen haben wir, auf der Holzterasse im Grünen zu frühstücken. 
Obwohl wir uns nur einmal getroffen haben (wir waren viel in Austin unterwegs), war Coleman immer einfach per Handy zu erreichen. 
Wahrscheinlich ist die Wohnung nichts für außerordentlich sauberkeitsliebende Leute, aber für uns war es wirklich perfekt. Einfach ungezwungen und nett!
Ins Stadtzentrum kommt man mit der Linie 1 in ~20 Minuten, oder man steigt vorher aus und ist in der hippen SoCo-Gegend. Oder man bleibt in der entspannten Abgelegenheit von Colemans Wohnung :)"
139693,23798710,2014-12-10,1436353,Michaela,"Cole's place was my first stop when I moved to Austin. It was the perfect choice and had everything I needed: a quiet and relaxed home, close to work and to the next bus station to get downtown in a couple of minutes, always working wifi and lots of nice places outside to listen to the wind and the trees. Cole has solar power in his house and one night power was off so I sat in the yard and was lucky to watch two huge owls landing in the trees.
I would definitely book it again. Now that I stay in an appartment I miss its peaceful atmosphere. Cole himself is a welcoming host and helped me getting settled for the first days. You should also have a look at his selfmade wooden bowls and plates. Thanks again, Cole, for my housewarming gift!"
139693,25363171,2015-01-13,24379962,Art,"Very interesting cool stay for an experience in intentional living. Accurate description, great location, and Coleman is fantastic with communication and a really relaxed and welcoming host."
139693,25532706,2015-01-18,26002883,Derrick,I didn't feel welcome.  The neighborhood is out of the way and squallid.  I've stayed and worked in dozens of hostels so I know all about communal living and being a good host.   I could never treat a customer as inhospitably as Coleman treated me.  The house looks like it has never been cleaned.  I saw multiple buliding code violations.  Electricity ran out every night because he runs everything off a decrepid solar panel system.  The house wreaks of smoke because the only source of heat is an inefficient fireplace that only heats the living room.  I woke up freezing every morning.
139693,25623523,2015-01-20,24173446,Tom,Coleman's place is a must see for all eco-minded folk traveling through the Austin area.
139693,26703187,2015-02-17,532336,Rafiq,"Coleman showed great concern for my well being in Austin. His rustic, Eco-friendly house represents the true spirit of Austin, Texas. The house appears to be off the beaten path, but it is near SoCo and not far from Downtown at all. To see Texas and to see Austin, I recommend his home."
139693,28800406,2015-03-30,27906626,Christian,It was a great place to sleep. I came in late and left early each morning. Finally got to meet Coleman the last day. Hoping to stay here again next time I am in Austin. 
139693,29083139,2015-04-03,24481692,Stefan,"Cole was very welcoming and easy-going and the house was fine. Not exactly as advertised, but everything we needed worked and the house is cozy, not too far from Downtown Austin. We had a great time here."
139693,31921807,2015-05-11,15309871,Giorgio,"Hard to imagine a better deal for Austin accommodations than Cole's place. It was relaxed, no fuss, and all the essentials were there. Cole was easy to deal with, responsive and perfect host. The grounds were really nice. Although I was on the go the entire time I was there, it seemed like a wonderful setting to sit and enjoy being outside. 

Although there were other guests there the entire time I never saw, and barely heard, them. The room was quiet and comfortable. 

I had a car so getting to downtown and other points of interest was a breeze. Might be tougher if your car-less, but it looked like there was bus line that would get you downtown very quickly and the bus stop was very close by.

Will definitely stay here again when I'm in town."
139693,32869287,2015-05-22,6328982,Khadija,"Host Coleman creates a unique space and you would be remiss to take advantage of such a gem listing. Safe, tranquil and a pleasure to be hosted. Enjoy a stay and you won't regret it. Near transportation."
139693,33115861,2015-05-25,6894330,Joey,"Coleman was a great host and more than willing to accommodate my late arrival.  He has a unique and interesting home that's close to downtown but feels like it's in the country.  Easily bikeable / driveable, probably too far to walk.  I slept incredibly well in his quiet home : )"
139693,34256579,2015-06-06,26973211,Jesse,"Nice, quiet place to stay. Everything was as listed. I didn't have a chance to spend much time there but everyone I met was friendly and it was a good spot to relax at the end of the day."
139693,34730431,2015-06-11,2116998,Jon,"As always Coleman's place was excellent! This is my 2nd time staying here and will remain my go to spot from here on out. Location is great,  centrally located if you have a car, and the property is beautiful. A neat  and eccentric place to stay! Highly recommended! "
139693,35860701,2015-06-22,33867918,Shawn,Nice place to stay to eacape the city. Hidden gem very close to downtown. Coleman was fast to answer any questions thay I had.
139693,37000007,2015-07-03,585271,Leticia,Coleman wasn't present when I arrived but we had contact prior to my arrival-- since this wasn't my first visit to his lovely abode I was comfortable settling down on my own. 
139693,47767832,2015-09-21,42482921,Chris,"My husband and I had planned to stay at Coleman's place from Thursday through Sunday during the Le Mans racing weekend at COTA. Due to a family emergency our stay was abbreviated and we had to leave first around 5am on Saturday morning. While we were there, we had the place to ourselves and never saw anyone. It was very quiet and had a secluded feeling, despite being in the city. Coleman was kind enough to make some recommendations for a quick bite in the area, but we never did actually get to meet him. 
The room itself was neat and pretty clean. Clean enough for me and my needs, being reminiscent of the farmhouse I grew up in (cement floors seem to always be a little dusty). The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner; though, my guess is that hard water makes that more of a challenge. I don't think there was hot water, or I may have just not let it run long enough, but even this was not a problem for me, as a cold shower was refreshing considering the temp outside. At night we stayed comfortable despite the lack of AC with a breeze from the table side fan and the ceiling fan overhead.  All in all, we had a comfortable stay. I would not recommend to someone that is highfalutin and needs that ""hotel"" type of experience.  But I would definitely recommend to budget conscious friends that I feel are a bit more adventurous and can handle a more rustic accommodation.  You can't beat the price. 
I wish we had been able to stay longer, and next time we visit Austin, we will likely return to Coleman's place. "

139693,49161782,2015-10-01,11404552,Brandon,"Colman's house is something else. It's something I've actually dreamed of. The perfect country setting in the city of Austin with airstreams, woodshops and awesome vintage motorcycles. He's really living a great self sufficient life and it's an inspiration. I'm happy to have met him and will definitely stay here again!"
139693,49482663,2015-10-04,17706582,Grace,"I wouldn't exactly say that this place functions as described. It may be enjoyable for some, but I could see how it could be much more trouble than it's worth for others. First of all, the front door was wide open when we showed up, and was never locked at any point during our stay. This is the kind of place where you should keep your valuables in the car if you are concerned about this. The cleanliness was the biggest issue with us -- it was very, very dirty. There were multiple dead cockroaches rotting on the floors covered in ants. A live cockroach crawled on my friend when she was sleeping. I was glad to have a place to sleep, but did not entirely feel safe or comfortable during my stay here. "

5292955,36673654,2015-06-30,22233619,Andrea,Our company rented this unit for employees we had in the Austin area and Jared was very accommodating and easy to work with.   Our employees were very happy with the rental provided.
785992,8057747,2013-10-14,9052103,Jason,"Great little condo in walking distance of Zilker Park, bars and restaurants. All needed amenities were provided such as linens and coffee.  Mathew also left detailed notes on getting around and nearby conveniences. 

I would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a convenient place to stay during ACL or other events.
 "
785992,43105331,2015-08-17,38966526,Nicholas,"Matthew's place was a comfortable place to stay for a couple weeks while I learned Austin and found a permanent place. There is a fun little park across the street that my dog loved. Matthew was communicative and flexible, which made things great since I was trekking into the unknown.

There are a few fun food and relaxing options nearby which really added to the charm of the stay. The neighborhood itself is in a decent location, near options to drive anywhere in the city. 

All in all this stay was great and I'd recommend to anyone."
785992,45223976,2015-08-31,4342777,Spencer,"Matthew was very communicative and his apartment was great. Good location, easy to access and had everything we needed. Recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Austin!"
785992,46224014,2015-09-08,13874483,Hassan,"The wife and I visited Austin over the weekend and we were looking for a convenient location that was central to everything. We absolutely loved this place. It's cozy, well kept and Matthew is extremely available and helpful - which we really appreciated in a host. We absolutely recommend this place for anyone who is visiting Austin!"
785992,46569788,2015-09-11,38176295,Dan,The host canceled this reservation 43 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
785992,48009562,2015-09-22,21853411,Melissa,"Great first experience with Airbnb.  Very nice condo in perfect South Austin location.  Would definitely stay here again.  Matthew was kind, responsive, and helpful."
785992,48925090,2015-09-29,28422838,Rheena,"We had a great stay at Matthew's place. It's in a great location and we had no problem getting around and exploring all that Austin has to offer. Matthew was very communicative and able to accommodate our late arrival time. His place was nice, clean, and comfy. We felt right at home and would definitely stay here again. Thank you! :)"
785992,49777314,2015-10-06,33461594,Benjamin,What a great place!  Was an easy walk to Zilker Park.  Check in was super easy and Matthew was responsive.  Room was clean and exactly as described.  Thank you!
785992,50624905,2015-10-13,39488188,Melanie,Matthew's place was such a lovely place to stay! It's in a quiet part of town but has amazing places to eat just a few streets over. Matthew was always quick to respond to questions or simply giving great suggestions for things to do and eat around the area! 
785992,51900737,2015-10-25,546578,Greg,"Mo's place was perfect for our week in Austin. The photos do not do it justice. It was very clean and cozy and filled with great records and books. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed to cook for the two of us. He even left a dog bed and bowls for our pup. There's a nice little park across the road with tennis courts and basketball where we walked the (website hidden) was very courteous and communicative and is an especially good resource for food recommendations!
Being close to Barton Springs and Zilker Park was awesome! We had enough nature close by to keep us from missing Vail. Also close by were some great bars and restaurants within walking and biking distance on South Lamar. We recommend dinner and a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse a few blocks away.
We biked pretty much everywhere. It's about a 15 minute bike ride from downtown and a 10 or 15 minute bike ride from great shopping and food on South Congress.
Very highly recommended. We would stay here again if we came back."
785992,52889846,2015-11-02,33050707,Vicki,"Matthew's condo is totally great! Exactly as promised. He's very responsive, not that I had many questions, as everything was lovely. The neighborhood is great and the park across the street was really nice. Marble counters, big old TV - really fun!"
2380176,28117703,2015-03-18,1614486,Martijn,"Peach was the best host ever. And that means something coming from the second best host ever :-) 
We booked this lovely house for our visit to sxsw, with 7 people. Originally planned to be with 6, but Peach did everything to make an extra guest possible. She provided us with a nice (hand drawn!) map of Austin and gave us a lot of tips, also for my private trip after sxsw through Texas. We really felt welcome and at home. Peach checked our preferences before arrival and made sure we had tea, coffee and other stuff to get started.  But what I liked most was the nice conversations we had through e-mail, in anticipation of us coming to sxsw (which was also great btw). 

 The house is simply lovely and so is the neighborhood. In a green, hilly residential area, with excellent restaurants close by. Ube taxis, rental bikes or the city bikes which are available close by, will get you downtown real quick. 
Don’t hesitate and book. But not during sxsw, because then we are coming back ☺


"
2380176,30217518,2015-04-19,29163230,Colleen,Peach was a great host. She was very responsive to all my questions. The house was clean. Location Was great. 
2380176,50322882,2015-10-11,22170970,Elizabeth,"I'm so tempted to keep this gem my little secret, but alas... I must share!  We rented Peach's home for ACL 2015.  The location is perfect.  I timed our walk to the entrance of Zilker and it took us 10 mins and 48 seconds, walking leisurely.  The home is charming and is exactly what you'd think of for an older ""classic"" S. Austin home.  We had 6 people and there was plenty of space for everyone.  Peach was even kind enough to let us keep our cars in the driveway on Sunday for a nominal fee even after check out.  Not only is the home in a great location in terms of restaurants on Barton Rd, it is also within walking distance to a ton of different shops and restaurants on S. Lamar.  It seriously was the perfect place and if/when we ever do another 3 day ACL weekend, we will definitely rent from Peach!  "
2452809,19653458,2014-09-15,10023668,Tom,"Christina was an excellent hostess from start to finish. Although I didnt get the chance to meet her, she arranged for a friend to let me in and even leave dinner for me when I was late arriving. Very thoughtful.. She was in constant communication throughout my stay ensuring I was taken care of.. The accommodation was clean, cozy, and very comfortable for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to stay in the future."
2452809,21263158,2014-10-13,22259161,Jared,This was such a great experience! I couldn't have gotten a better place in Austin. I went for ACL and it made the trip even better that I stayed here. This was my first AirBNB experience and it was better than I expected. 
2452809,21964013,2014-10-27,109,Shelly,"Wonderful place! Both Christina and Laura were very friendly and very good at communicating. Laura showed us all the features of the house and we had no trouble with anything! Great location, comfortable memory foam bed, very tidy and nice neighborhood! We had a wonderful time! Thanks Laura & Christina!"
2452809,22116265,2014-10-30,10526020,Sue,"Wonderful experience! Superb host, lovely upstairs apartment and great neighborhood. Thanks Christina."
2452809,25752981,2015-01-25,25504528,Eric,"Christina was a wonderful host. She was very attentive to our needs. She met us when we arrived and gave us a brief tour as well as the key.  The neighborhood was great. We felt very safe and welcome. The apartment was clean and comfortable. We would definitely choose Christina's location again when we visit Austin.
Thanks for the great place! "
2452809,26059218,2015-02-02,25665371,Allison,"This was my first AirBnb stay and it was AWESOME! Super comfy bed, pretty backyard, in a quiet neighborhood with newly remodeled, beautiful homes on the block. Christina left us a nice bottle of wine, coffee and other nice touches around the place! Although we were unable to meet her, she was super responsive and very welcoming. $6-7  Lyft ride to the hot spots on South Congress. Would highly recommend this as a comfy place for one or two! Thanks again, Christina."
2452809,26356935,2015-02-10,2920765,Snigdha,"Christina was a good host, she was prompt whenever we had questions through email before the visit, and she greeted us on arrival. She provided a new fridge since we had requested one, which was a great addition to the apartment. The place is private and has its own entrance. The bed was really comfortable. The host lives upstairs but was away most of the weekend we were there, so there was no noise. We were given our own parking spot in the driveway. The area is great, a quick drive or bike ride into the hotspots of South Congress and downtown. We had a nice stay!"
2452809,26602541,2015-02-16,1393246,Jeannie,"Chris was a fabulous host to my sister and I during out stay in Austin! She was very responsive in all communication and even offered to pick me up from the airport. The place itself was very clean and roomy. That bed is SO comfortable. It's the perfect size for two people. The location is amazing and only  a quick walk to wonderful restaurants on 1st and a pleasant stroll to the bustling S Congress (disclaimer: we're city girls so we are used to walking). If you use Car 2 Go there are a plethora available in the area and if you're runner it's the perfect location to get a great run in as it is not far from Burton Park.
Overall, Chris made our stay in Austin very welcoming and we can't wait to come back!"
2452809,27348440,2015-03-02,5872405,Laurie,"Location was perfect! Easy, short walk to SoCo shops & restaurants and a very short drive to downtown and airport. Neighborhood is very hip, safe, and convenient, just two blocks from the action. All the conveniences of a hotel room and then some, especially the parking, private entrance, fridge & microwave, welcome beers and guide to local hotspots, reliable wifi, and coffeemaker. It's a little bigger than it seems in the pictures, but cozy. Christina was a wonderful host -- accommodating, warm & friendly, and very helpful. We would stay here again. "
2452809,27666113,2015-03-09,17790565,Mel,"We didn't have a chance to meet Chris, but she was always very responsive and we had a great time staying at her place. It's clean, well appointed, comfortable, and very much as depicted in the photos/description. The neighborhood is quiet but still very close to food/shopping/etc and less than 20 minutes from the airport. We liked the off street parking, and it seemed like street parking was plentiful as well."
2452809,28165761,2015-03-19,13663520,Rob,Nice neighborhood.  Christina was there to meet me and the place was clean and ready for me. 
2452809,28410752,2015-03-23,14251483,Rolen,The apartment was very clean and comfortable.  Chris was super polite and welcoming. The instructions for the house were clear and informative.  Overall I had a wonderful experience.
2452809,29739681,2015-04-12,28026403,Mike,"This was our first time booking through airbnb and we were very impressed. Chris was a great host! Her place was perfect for our stay in Austin.  Our flight arrived late and she was kind enough to wait up for us and even offered to drive us to late night cafe so we could get something to eat. 

We were in town for a wedding and her location was in walking distance for all the festivities. Not to mention in walking distance to tons of food trucks and places to eat! And, when we needed it, we never had trouble getting an Uber. 

Overall, a very positive experience! "
2452809,30072823,2015-04-17,6502859,Ellen,"Chris was there at the time of arrival to greet us and give us a walk through.  The apartment was as described, clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to various eateries.  It was ideal for us because our daughter was within a short distance of the apartment.  Chris called from time to time to make sure everything was okay.  It was the perfect choice for us."
2452809,31324307,2015-05-04,9193331,Tasha,"Chris was such a generous host! Her place was very clean, organized and convenient. Great location for catching the bus or walking to main attractions. Private entrance and great neighborhood. Would definitely stay again! Thanks Chris! "
2452809,31884423,2015-05-11,3677204,Shreema,"We had a great experience staying at Chris' place in Austin!  She was very friendly and welcoming, and gave us some great suggestions on where to go in the city. It was also nice to have not only a bedroom but small living area to ourselves. The neighborhood is lovely, with fun restaurants, food trailers, art galleries and shops nearby. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
2452809,33714057,2015-05-31,13750760,Tammy,Great place to stay - close to downtown and near lots of fun venues! Chris is a great host and goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need to enjoy Austin. 
2452809,36305912,2015-06-27,13282124,Travis,Chris was a great host.  Very friendly upon arrival and easy to get in touch with if we needed anything.
2452809,37181434,2015-07-05,5554906,Mikhail,"The Host is awesome, the location is perfect, and the accommodations, were fantastic. For the asking rate you get something very comparable to upper tier hotel, but with the Austin charm... oh and way cheaper. Really great place"
2452809,37915061,2015-07-11,37438027,Carina,"Staying with Chris was *awesome*! Her place is excellently located, clean, quiet, comfortable, and exactly what my mom and I expected when we booked our reservation. Chris was super helpful and kind and worked with me easily if we needed anything during our stay. I would definitely stay with Chris again if I travel back to Austin. "
2452809,40124804,2015-07-28,36874234,Felicia,"This place was great! Even better than my friend and I expected based on the pictures! It was like as nice as a hotel room only with our own entrance and way cheaper. Chris was awesome. She was out of town when we were staying, but she answered all my questions via email very promptly and even called to check in on us the day of our arrival. And she left us a thorough handbook explaining passwords and the like. And she also included some great attractions Austin had to offer, which was perfect for us as we had never been to Austin before. Everything we needed and then some was provided, even an extra set of towels for going to the pool/creek. The whole place was also very clean, especially the bedroom and bathroom. The location was excellent. The neighborhood was beautiful and we were within walking distance of SoCo. And there were two very accessible bus stops just blocks away. There were also alot of great food trucks, coffee shops, and art galleries around, as well as a little grocery store to pick up little necessities if need be. If/when we come back to Austin, we will definitely try to stay here again!"
2452809,40789703,2015-08-02,10526020,Sue,"This was the second time I have stayed with Chris. She couldn't be a more caring, hospitable and friendly host! Check-in was easy, and accommodated my schedule, the downstairs flat was clean and modern, just like the photos. I could park my car in the driveway, rather than the street which I appreciated. When I needed some extra tableware, Chris happily provided it. Plus, like the description says, there are a wide array of good eateries in walking distance - this time I tried the Soup Peddler and was very satisfied. I would definitely stay with Chris again."
2452809,41245891,2015-08-05,36174414,Robert,"Our stay in Austin, minus the kids was such a great time. We enjoyed relaxing at the house in the comfy bed, and the shade on the window kept it really dark those sleep in mornings. The space was plenty for my wife and I, Chris was very helpful and welcoming during our stay. We used the fridge and the microwave and also drank the filtered water and coffee that was there. The location was great, close enough to walk to First St and really close to the Congress Ave strip that we really enjoyed. There are a lot of great restaurants and unique shops that we explored and definitely recommend checking them all out. If you're going to stay in Austin and are looking for a nice place to stay that's also affordable then book with Chris and help ""Keep Austin Weird!""  "
2452809,46126064,2015-09-08,7372533,Russell,"Chris is a great hostess, her place is exactly as described and
the location is perfect to explore Austin from. Great local eateries
and entertainment and close to all the main attractions of Austin.
We would gladly stay at Chris' place again."
2452809,46918429,2015-09-14,41213350,Karen,"Chris was a lovely host.  Home was as described, the location was amazing, and she went above and beyond to make our stay a lovely and comfortable one!  My best friend and I stayed at her place over a girls weekend, and it was a great place to relax and recharge in between all of our excursions!"
2452809,47265911,2015-09-17,5160529,Jeff,"Chris is a great host who understands the mindset of the travel junkie. Very quick and forthcoming in her communications. 

This is an excellent little flat, in a great location for seeing all the things you want to see in Austin. "
2452809,48128170,2015-09-23,26924758,Heather,"Everything was wonderful, Chris was super attentive and available. We loved her guide book of things to do! Neighborhood was cute and there are places within walking distance. To go further than walking distance is easy too because it is located close to some of the main parkways that shoot right into downtown. Place was clean and cozy!"
2452809,49213706,2015-10-02,29099710,Pablo,"Chris was a great host. She was genuinely happy to meet me and my girlfriend, and she checked in with us thoughout our stay to make sure there wasn't anything else she could do for us. She was well-prepared for our 9-day stay, and really made us feel at home. I would highly recommend being her guest. "
2452809,50162981,2015-10-10,4957607,Jennifer,"Perfect place!!! Such a cool neighbourhood. Cactus, food trucks, and peacocks walking around! Great location, walking distance to everything you need. The apartment was clean and modern. Super comfortable bed. Best host award!!! Check in was easy, instant communication any time we had a question and even saved out butts when we locked ourselves out. A+ thanks for a great stay!"
2452809,50659673,2015-10-13,4795412,Chelcea,Chris was great! She welcomed my husband and I and provided some great insight on the city.  The place was a perfect temperature for the hot weather.  Everything was clean.  We greatly appreciated the dark curtains so we could sleep in on our holiday.  
2452809,51432623,2015-10-20,10920257,Deborah,"I actually got to try out a new listing that Chris had just put on AirBnB.  Great location in the middle of gorgeous neighborhood close to shops and so many food options.  Easy to walk to shops and food on the south side of the river (hopefully I'm getting these directions right), and a cheap lyft or uber ride into downtown.  

Chris was very helpful and checked in with me even though she was out of town.  Private apartment set up in a duplex with a kitchen (and netflix!).  Great experience! Would definitely stay there again."
2452809,52572144,2015-10-31,3753105,Christopher,"My girlfriend, daughter and I had an awesome stay at Chris's... It was a cool little area in a great part of town... Chris is a great communicator and lovely in person..Would recommend for sure"
2452809,52996443,2015-11-03,46373962,Jordan,"Chris was a really great host! She met us at the apartment to give us the keys and show us around the place. She let us know to call or text her with any questions or concerns and she was very prompt to return our phone calls/text. The place was very tidy and had everything we could need for our 3 night stay in Austin. The place was just right for 2 people and had a nice size bathroom and mini-fridge for leftovers. It was nice to have our own separate entrance our lower part of the duplex. We really enjoyed this area, and while I'm sure you could walk around to many of the local spots, it was helpful that we rented a car and it was nice that street parking was plentiful. Great first trip in Austin!! We can't wait to come back. Would absolutely recommend this place to stay. Thanks Chris! "
4642582,27675085,2015-03-09,22197387,Jennifer,"Listing was completely accurate and the home was absolutely beautiful in a great location. I always wanted to live in a house in West Campus during college but never had the chance, and this stay fueled that regret as it was comfortable, roomy, and charming. I really appreciate how responsive James was and how available he made himself to help us if needed. Checking in and out was painless and honestly, the whole stay exceeded many hotel stays in the past that I've paid 2-3x as much for. Would highly recommend this to anyone with a medium-large group looking for a cozy West Campus retreat for the weekend, as you truly will feel right at home. Some of the artwork inside should be in a museum, honestly, they are so stunning and creative. I would definitely stay in this home again in a heart beat."
4642582,49692348,2015-10-05,24870837,Johnathan,James has a very nice house in the middle of west campus. Very convenient location to get just about anywhere in central Austin. I was in town celebrating my 30th birthday and James was kind enough to leave me some bourbon for the occasion. It was very much appreciated!
5669646,28765038,2015-03-29,29928501,Frank,"Beverly was very receptive and available for any questions I had over the phone. She truly was available to help at any time of the day. As for the house itself, it was very beautiful and had much more than enough space to accomodate my group of 10. I did not feel the need to be in constant contact with Beverly because the house literally was fully stocked with anything you may need for a comfortable stay, not to mention how close and accessible the house was to most everything you'd like from the city of Austin. My group and I felt totally comfortable all three days and would without a doubt be back again given the chance."
5669646,50461344,2015-10-12,41867418,Jakob,This is a very lovely and well-equipped house. We stayed there comfortably with 8 people. The location is very nice. You can reach almost all popular destinations in Austin within 15 minutes driving. Beverly was a lovely host who responded to our inquiries promptly. Would definitely stay again. 
2332553,28432716,2015-03-23,28827174,D'Rand,"Clean, friendly, and accommodating! The neighborhood was very pleasant, and the house was perfect for our stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a vacation or quick couple of days in Austin."
2332553,31809866,2015-05-10,31140042,Angela,My family was in Austin for a family celebration.  Elvia's home was lovely and very comfortable.  Close to restaurants and shopping. And our host had great suggestions for places to eat. 
7414818,52230470,2015-10-27,10953599,Dan,"After a long flight and drive, the house was a wonderful place to settle in and crash.  Having nice clean amenities was so nice."
3875997,19005616,2014-09-04,15441987,Christina,"Regina's condo is amazing! The kitchen is fully equipped with a huge breakfast bar, coffee maker and blender (hello, smoothies!). There are two bedrooms with large comfortable beds, but just be aware there's no door to the main bedroom (it didn't bother me though). Regina provided fluffy white towels and even stocked the bathroom with lovely soaps, shampoos etc. 

The condo's decor is quirky and fun, I especially loved the awesome record collection and player! Seriously, this place is awesome; I wish I could live here! The location is also really great - there's plenty of parking, and if you don't have wheels, there's a big HEB store 25 min walk away (that's close in Texas distance), plus bus stops.

I didn't meet Regina, but she was very helpful and communicative leading up to and during my stay. Overall, I was very happy with my stay. Highly recommended. "
3875997,20101879,2014-09-23,9430526,Gabrielle,"Regina was responsive and made herself available almost immediately when my fellow AirBnB flatmate and I needed her help / had any inquiries re: her property. The AC system worked great and the property was accurately advertised (I.e., no surprises or misgivings). It was a positive experience and Regina was an affable host."
3875997,28467868,2015-03-24,22430422,Scott,"Really enjoyed staying at this property for SXSW. The property was excellent, better than described and an excellent size.  It was also walking distance from the center of town.  Our weekend was excellent snd if we come back next year would certainly stay here again! 5/5!"
4754115,24779525,2015-01-02,1708656,Kasie,"The house was neat and tidy and easy to get to from S First. There were two housemates while we stayed that were very courteous and helpful. We liked having the private room with the enquire and especially enjoyed having the soaker tub. Jonathan graciously gave us the run of the house including laundry facilities. 

We know the area well and were visiting friends so having a place we could pop in and out as needed was perfect. We would definitely stay again."
4754115,28165729,2015-03-19,3341506,James,"We had a great time staying at Jonathan's place during SXSW. The room is very large, clean and neat, as advertised. The house itself is a few minutes out of town in a very quiet neighbourhood. We found that a quick bus ride or Uber for under $10 was an easy way to get to town or back. Jonathan was very communicative and provided very useful information for people visiting Austin for the first time. He checked in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, which made our stay very pleasant."
4754115,45136578,2015-08-31,40235991,Kathryn,"I never thought I could feel at home in the house of a complete stranger but my two week stay in Jonathan's Master Suite was as close to home as I can imagine. I chose it over less expensive offerings in the area for the location (1 block from my daughter's apt.) and a private bath. As a bonus, I got luxurious surroundings, a kind, helpful owner (Jonathan answered all text messages within minutes) and quiet, friendly house mates. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, and again and I eagerly recommend this location to any Austin visitor who wants a comfortable, quality, safe stay in a very quiet neighborhood."
4754115,50654189,2015-10-13,33725809,Jade,"Our experience was perfect, we truly enjoyed our stay here. Jonathan, Yuka, and Patrick are amazing people that were friendly and welcoming to the both of us. The room was wonderful and lovely, they even left us many great suggestions for local entertainment and dining nearby. My only wish is that we could have stayed longer! "
4754115,52066331,2015-10-26,42693868,Tommy,"Jonathan was very proactive in making sure that all details related to me gaining accessing to his house were covered even emailing a few days before I was scheduled to arrive. When my flight was delayed and I wouldn't arrive until 1am, he made sure the lights were on and I could still get in without disturbing anyone. 

The master bedroom upstairs where I stayed was spacious, quiet, clean and had its own private bathroom and large walk-in closet. There was a large whirlpool bathtub as well as a shower. He even had a printout of things to do and how to access wifi. His two roommates were quite friendly and welcoming.

The house is in South Austin and a 5 minute drive from amazing restaurants like Uchi, Odd Duck, Barley Swine, Shake Shack, Vox Table and many others. It's also 2 miles from the river where you can go for runs or rides along a trail that follows the river. Across the river, is downtown Austin so needless to say, it's quite easy to get everywhere. I even walked the 10 minutes to Summer Moon coffeeshop as well as Torchy's for a breakfast taco.

This was my first AirBnb stay and glad it was with Jonathan."
5372341,27616983,2015-03-08,28472635,Andrea,I had a great time and enjoyed very much the home. Best host ever!! Very friendly and the rooms were oh so clean. Yes I will definitely stay again.
5372341,28687559,2015-03-28,2812295,Summer,"Susan and David were wonderful hosts and helped me feel right at home. Hector was the best dog ever - very friendly as well. The house is comfortable and had everything l needed. Full disclosure that l am extremely sensitive to noise so I  noticed  the proximity of the house to a busy road. I live in utter quiet in new Mexico. Others might not mind if they come from an in town location. At any rate, the house is a find and meeting  David and Susan was a  pleasure. Thank you both for opening your beautiful home for me."
5372341,28771985,2015-03-29,7095861,Debbie,"Susan and David were simply amazing. Their smiles and friendliness made us feel welcome and at home from the moment we walked in. They both have such a positive personality that you can't help but feel encouraged just being around them. The location was perfect for us and the house was a gem! This was only my 2nd time using AirBNB but this experience along with the first will keep me coming back to AirBNB again and again. When I am in Austin, Susan's home will be my go to location because in two short days I feel like I have friends there, now. Thank you, Susan and David!"
5372341,28857951,2015-03-30,7095861,Debbie,"We booked one night and ended up booking a second while we were there. Susan and David are both wonderful and the house has all kinds of little Gems built in. Enjoy quit time on your own or easy conversations with both of them, they will follow your lead. I have found a new favorite in Austin so I will be back to visit Susan and David next time we come down!"
5372341,29233505,2015-04-05,26619120,Veronica,"We had such a lovely experience staying with Susan and David; we only wish we had gotten to stay longer! The house and decor was so charming and comfortable, my boyfriend and I felt very at home staying there. Susan and David were very accommodating hosts while also giving us our space, and we thoroughly enjoyed our short chat over a delicious breakfast. We will definitely consider staying with them again! Oh, and their dog, Hector, was a total sweetheart and one of our favorite parts of the visit :)"
5372341,29801557,2015-04-12,11731926,Eden,"My partner and I had the most amazing stay at Susan and David's house! These hosts are the epitome of hospitable: they accommodated our wee-morning-hours arrival and we had no issue whatsoever getting into the house and falling straight to sleep, and they had coffee and things set out in the morning - so lovely! 

The room was perfect. Bright, open, clean, very comfortable bed, beautiful artwork, loads of natural light in addition to the standard overhead light and bedside lamp. The bathroom was clean, bright, and gorgeously painted and tiled. The porch is the most lovely place to sit for a quiet minute, overlooking so much flowering greenery. 

The house is JUST off of Hwy 290 where 71 splits. Very easy (and only about 18-20 min) to get to downtown, South Congress, 6th St, etc. Ideally located, and very easy to find. 

Absolutely beautiful, a real retreat. I would stay here again in a heartbeat (and am already looking forward to / planning the next trip down!)."
5372341,30249093,2015-04-19,17172742,Mike,Susan and David were wonderful hosts. The house is amazing and has a lot of character to it. The property is great and accessible. Susan makes a great breakfast in the morning and always is welcome to hear stories. I hope to come back again. 
5372341,31136654,2015-05-02,2026400,Suzanne & Ben,"Susan and David were so breezy and accommodating, we felt quite welcome in their cozy home.  The architectural significance of the house and its whimsical, artful touches were positively eye candy!  We truly appreciated the fresh eggs and assortment of tasty breakfast foods in the morning.  There was nothing more we could have wanted! While we had little contact with the hosts while we were there due to our schedules, we were fortunate to catch up with each other on the last morning when we shared an interesting and passionate exchange on childhood education.  We would recommend staying with Susan and David for all of the reasons mentioned and if a truly shared space - animals and all - is what you desire.  Be prepared for some light highway noise at night (nothing soft ear plugs wouldn't remedy if you're sensitive) and if another guest is booked in the adjacent room, some shower use negotiation :)  While there are two separate bathrooms, one contains only a bathtub.  We personally had no issue, and welcomed the human experience of sharing space in a home that promotes it so well. "
5372341,31244665,2015-05-03,23753898,Jennifer,"Susan and David are phenomenal hosts! We loved chatting with this intellectual and creative couple over breakfast! Their home is unique and fun, but also very clean and functional. It was the perfect Austin experience!"
5372341,31724555,2015-05-09,3398774,Victoria,Beautiful home filled with so much love and comfort. Susan made us feel at home with freshly brewed coffee and fresh baked bread in the morning. They gave us our privacy and were very sweet to us. A great price you cannot beat anywhere else and a quick ride to downtown. The bed was comfy too!!! We had a wonderful experience and cannot wait to go back! Also it was our first time using airbnb and they left a wonderful taste in our mouths for sure. Thank you guys! xo
5372341,32004202,2015-05-12,32382671,Devin,"David and Susan are great hosts. Making arrival time arrangements was easy, the welcome was warm, and the stay was pleasant. Room was light, airy, clean and comfy. Spice cake for breakfast was a nice treat :-) Would stay again."
5372341,32213503,2015-05-15,575767,Licia & Clem,"Un accueil chaleureux dans une maison plein de couleur et raffinement à 20 minutes de la ville. Des hôtes attentionnés et disponibles. Des belles soirées à discuter ensemble et des petits déjeunes merveilleux. Voilà le vrais esprit Airbnb/ We had a wonderful time in Susan and David house. Warm and unique in every single detail, the house is full of colors and life. Susan and David are greats hosts, genuinely and friendly. We spent interested time talking together. They made fell us welcome and we felt privileged to share their lovely unique place. We could not be more thankful. This is a real airbnb experience."
5372341,32442035,2015-05-17,16048209,Ashley,Our hostess were wonderful!  A great unique Austin expierience.l.  Very clean and a great deal!  We will be returning again soon.
5372341,32875202,2015-05-22,9929662,Alisa,We had a lovely stay with Susan and her husband.  We were planning to camp but the weather was horrible and we looked to book last minute. Susan was incredibly accommodating and welcomed us into her beautiful home.  We rested up in the evening and were greeted with warm bread and jam in the morning.  It was a short and very sweet stay!
5372341,32947999,2015-05-23,12216837,Eric,"Susan and David are really nice people and such great hosts! This was my first airbnb experience and I must say, my girlfriend and I were impressed with everything. They built their home themselves and it is very lovely and artistic inside and out. Their home is right next to hwy 290 so it was easy to find and easy to get into the city. They said they've been doing it since February 2015, but I feel like they've been doing it for much longer because they know how to take care of their guests really well. I wish we could've stayed longer but I am sure I will be back to see them again! Also, they have this big awesome dog named Hector. I'm not sure if it's just us but Hector likes to escort his guests from their vehicle to the house and vice versa."
5372341,33133433,2015-05-25,25506630,Dana,"Super cool home, wish it was mine  :)  Susan and David were awesome and very friendly, even though I had some weather related issues getting there, they were very understanding and welcoming.  Loved it there."
5372341,33712164,2015-05-31,2044429,Susy (Blaze),"Susan and David are a gracious and delightful couple and their warm home  is extremely comfortable and inviting...a beautiful homage to nature, ingenuity, creativity and love. The natural surroundings speak volumes about the couple whose stewardship they take seriously so though the address is a scant few yards from one of Austin's major thruways the house is quiet and relaxing! Hector is definitely a canine who understands the meaning of the word ""relax""! Their guest rooms are nicely appointed and the beds very, very comfortable and I adored the bathroom lighting and the soaking tub! FANtastic!!
This B&B is close to several awesome places to eat....""Pieous"" is 3 miles to the West on 290 and Donn's BBQ (the pulled pork tacos will inspire you!) is behind Planet Fitness on 71 at the juncture of 290.  None of this takes away from the fact that Susan's nut bread is mouthwatering alongside her coffee!"
5372341,34298112,2015-06-07,84730,Cristen,"Susan and David were amazing hosts. They accomodated our late night arrival and were super easy going about everything - especially sharing their porch/rooftop terrace with us so we could continue to hang out a bit longer. We only stayed one night and left in the morning, but we would have happily stayed longer if we had had the time. we'll look forward to 
visiting again next time we're in need of a little retreat. Hector the dog was adorable and cuddly, the coffee, orange juice, and fresh fresh baked bread was delicious, and Susan and David were warm and welcoming. Another thing worth mentioning is that their house and everything in it is truly a work of art.  I enjoyed just walking around and looking at all the little details. You can tell that a lot of love and hard work went into it. As fellow Airbnb hosts and artists ourselves, this experience was super inspiring! 

"
5372341,43006221,2015-08-16,32503766,Paula,"Beautiful home, lovely people! Space was just as described and very clean. I felt very safe and welcome."
5372341,44025368,2015-08-23,41070813,Daniel,"We loved staying with David and Susan in their lovely , creative Austin home! It was dreamier than we had imagined! The art inside and outside of the house is stunning! It was the perfect place to get away + be able to commute to the city.

 David and Susan were both very kind, and hospitable. We enjoyed staying in their home and will most likely return in the coming months! Highly recommended! "
5372341,45045993,2015-08-30,1696221,Sonia,"Unique Seussical home with warm, friendly hosts.  I felt right at home and had a wonderful experience."
5372341,45858198,2015-09-06,10525293,Sarah,Hosts were fabulous. Loved sitting and chatting in the morning. Dave brought us coffee on the front porch and Susan entertained us with the stories behind the all the amazing art. They were both gracious and welcoming. Feel like we made two new friends.
5372341,46840539,2015-09-13,29597886,Diane,"Susan was a great host, when we arrived she immediately greeted us and showed us around the house.  Her and her husband built the house themselves and it was very interesting looking around at everything. 
In the morning before we left she had fresh coffee, fruit and baked goods for breakfast.  "
5372341,48604618,2015-09-27,42150992,Meg,"Susan, her husband, and dog were super welcoming.  The house, room, and bathroom were adorable.  We wish we had had more time to chat and see some of the uniqueness! The location was perfect for us attending a wedding at Deep Eddy Distillery."
5372341,49393836,2015-10-03,4289261,Samuel,"Susan and David are amazing relaxed hosts. Staying at their home, 20 minutes from downtown Austin made my first experience with AirBnB an enjoyable one. I'd thoroughly recommend them both to friends and family if you get the chance to visit Austin."
5372341,51479848,2015-10-20,21122465,Sarig,"Very gentle and nice couple, Susan and David welcome us very kindly
The place is awesome, very quite and clean.

2902979,14104562,2014-06-11,15077355,Angel,Very cool place and extremely convenient located close to South Congress but also very close to the highway. Friendly neighbors and Dani made the whole experience super easy. I come to Austin for work and will def stay here again. 
2902979,20387946,2014-09-28,9350764,Rose,"The Peach Door was the perfect retro retreat during our weekend getaway! My husband and I lived in Austin for five years and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay as we showed a few friends around our old city.

From the textured wall that greets you upon entrance to the kitchen appliances, every detail was carefully selected and well-thought out. Dani did an amazing job with the color palette and furniture, too. It felt like we were living in a magazine set for a few days.

South Congress Street is only a 15 minute walk from here (maybe 5 minute drive), so we were able to explore the neighborhood and get in a little exercise while vacationing.

Thank you, Dani! We will be back! "
2902979,23095461,2014-11-23,21266501,Stuart,The house was absolutely beautiful and just as described! It was very clean when we arrived and everything was in order. The only (very minor) issue is that we couldn't find the comforter for the fold out couch. I can't say enough about how much my family and I enjoyed staying there. The neighborhood was nice and was very interesting from an eastern U.S. perspective.
2902979,27639465,2015-03-09,15126127,Karl,Fantastic place with easy access to congress and other fun spots where we spent most of our long weekend with friends. The house was perfect for two couples enjoying a weekend away. Clean and modern with lots of positives!
2902979,29744649,2015-04-12,8481740,Jeremy,"The house was ideal in every way. Good size bedrooms, modern and clean facilities and located in a very quiet street but only a few minutes from South Congress and Downtown. I will definitely consider saying here again in the future."
2902979,32722716,2015-05-20,1641902,Jim,"Dani and Joel were great hosts. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive. The space was beautiful comfortable, well appointed  and very clean and  accurately described. The neighborhood is one of Austin's great neighborhoods, a delight to experience, convenient to downtown and within walking distance to the restaurants and shops of  Congress Avenue. 
 "
2902979,34778698,2015-06-12,226316,Laura,Great place with a great host. Dani was friendly and helpful and the house met our needs perfectly. 
2902979,37308490,2015-07-06,15226074,Cristin,"We loved our stay here! The neighborhood was really cute, and the place was just as described. The only thing to mention is there is no DVD player or ability to watch movies (like Netflix), so make sure you have board games, or other entertainment if you don't plan on going out every night. "
2902979,39642321,2015-07-25,1580521,Sylvia,Dani was a great host. The apartment was very comfortable and has a fantastic location   Parking onsite and easy quick5 minute drive to South Congress. 
2902979,50450474,2015-10-12,39507790,Lauren,"The Peach Door was an incredible place to stay during our first trip to Austin. We came for a bachelorette party and had an unforgettable time thanks to the convenient location to SoCo, downtown, and Zilker Park. Our group felt welcomed even before booking! Dani helped us in finding activities and suggesting places nearby both before and during our stay (definitely go to ""Live Love Paddle"" for an unforgettable bat experience and ask for Dan). Beautiful neighborhood and hospitable neighbors to boot. When we arrived, we had issues with the lock, but Dani was quick to respond and resolve our issue immediately. Our group also had a later flight, which Dani was able to accommodate without hesitation to allow us to leave our luggage and not have to drag it around to lunch. Additionally, Dani's home had all the amenities needed and provided an extremely comfortable stay!  Thank you again Dani and we look forward to staying here again!"
2902979,50735280,2015-10-13,19634734,Eamonn,I had a short but very sweet stay! The home was lovely and getting in/out of the place was super simple. 
2902979,50935082,2015-10-16,14185419,Sam,"I've stayed at one of Dani's other properties in the same neighborhood before and enjoyed a similarly great experience this time. The house is clean, has all sorts of things you didn't think of (i.e. Tupperware) and is a healthy walk to some of my favorite spots for coffee and drinks along south congress. It's a serenely quiet neighborhood and easy to get around. Love it."
2902979,51069413,2015-10-17,17931892,Nupur,"Dani's place was gorgeous!! Close to everything. It was clean, spacious, and convenient. Just what we needed for our brief stay in Austin! "

968817,33287090,2015-05-26,23192112,Chloe,Jim O's place is great!!  There is such a great vibe here. Its so close to the hip part of town. So much to see around here and if you want to have a day in nature you can to at the river!
7649138,41868211,2015-08-09,40147992,Adriana,"Thank you Valentina! We enjoy our stay in your home and your recommendations were excellent, The Salty Sow and Mozart's Cafe. We loved how your home was clean and organized. It was great to meet you and we would definitely stay at your apartment next time we are in town. "
7649138,44019975,2015-08-23,10714744,Cass,The apartment is exactly as described and is a very comfortable place to stay in while in town. Valentina is friendly and easy to talk to about whatever you need! Would definitely think about staying here again if visiting Austin.
7649138,46168448,2015-09-08,40617145,Michelle,"Valentina's apartment is SO CUTE and so comfortable. It's super convenient to the MetroCap route to get downtown and we absolutely loved coming home at the end of the day to a clean, quiet, cozy place. We'd definitely be interested in staying here again."
7649138,47079853,2015-09-15,7396917,Amanda,"Valentina's apartment was very efficient for our needs. It was a pretty central location to everything we had on on list to do, like lady bird lake and down town. She was very helpful with her points of interest booklet. When we had a question she was prompt to answer. The bed was comfy and apartment clean! The neighborhood was clean and seemed safe, we would definitely return!"
7649138,47695593,2015-09-21,12842909,Nathan,"We had a great stay at Valentina's place. We loved that she was willing to rearrange her schedule to accommodate an early check-in. She seemed very nice when we met her in-person. Her place is in an older condo building, but it is furnished and styled nicely. The AC also works well, which was very important as temperatures were 95+ degrees in Austin this past weekend."
7649138,48730345,2015-09-28,41875022,Lena,"Our experience with Valentina was great! She kept open communication with us if there were any changes in plans, so we were on the same page every step of the way. The apartment we stayed at was very cute, clean and cozy! We had all the basics provided to us, and her suggestions for places to go were awesome! Will definitely want to stay here again should we ever find ourselves headed back that way! Thanks Valentina for a wonderful experience :-)!"
7649138,51893238,2015-10-25,38094456,Priscilla,"We absolutely loved our stay at Valentina's apartment! Her place is cozy and clean, and the location is perfect! We were literally only 1-2 miles away from everything we wanted to do within the Downtown Austin area. Valentina herself is such a sweet person! We loved all of her recommendations and she responded to our questions during our stay within a timely manner.  Definitely check this place out if you ever find yourself in the Austin area!"
7649138,52823120,2015-11-02,5403460,Brydon,"We had a great time at Valentina's apartment. It was super clean and just really pleasant. We ended up having to spend some time inside due to weather and were quite comfortable. The apartment is in a great location and walkable (or a short bus/lyft ride) to most of the city. We weren't able to match up our schedules to actually meet Valentina, but she checked in on us periodically (such as during the torrential downpours and tornado warnings) and was really flexible with our schedule."
2452800,10928308,2014-03-13,9075376,Ben,"Avery is the man. Made us feel at home before we even came. He made sure to get us new sheets, new towels and prepare some bicycles for us. When we came he welcomed us nicely with some local beers to make us connect to the place right away. We also had some great time with Avery's roommates and neighbors Sam and Kyle. Awesome people.

About the space: if you ever want to go to Austin and feel like an Austiner, go to that space: amazing feeling. The space is beautiful and comfortable, bed is nice and you sometimes just wanna stay and kick it. We have had some bonefire and BBQ outside in the backyard and really felt home.

Thanks you Avery and Sam for this badass airstream and for the awesome treatment.
"
2452800,11419925,2014-04-01,7614718,Tyler,"We're still in Austin withdrawals! Man, what a sweet city! Seriously hands down the best trip we've been on. A huge thanks to Avery for letting us stay in the airstream for the weekend!! From start to finish it was just a awesome experience! From the funky fence out front to the 6 pack Avery made sure to hook us with to Kyle & Sam (house & VW neighbs)....it was a dream! Location was great...we safely walked down to the bars every night (White Horse mostly) and went to Joe's Bakery for a delicious authentic Mexican breakfast on Saturday morning. Plenty of street parking, super clean digs, a comfortable patio, blasting AC and hot showers!! The bed is super comfy and Sam provided towels, sheets, and more. There's no doubt we'll be back to Austin...Hell I'm ready to move there. When we visit again though, we'll definitely stay in the 'Stream on 8th!!"
2452800,11805703,2014-04-15,13103379,Amanda,I absolutely loved my first Airbnb experience and that's because Avery was awesome! The Airstream was clean and located in a great part of town and my host was super easy going and friendly. I highly recommend staying with him! 
2452800,12294394,2014-04-28,13517922,Christopher,"Awesome place, awesome host! Staying with Avery was part of the reason why Austin turned out to be the highlight of our Texas roadtrip. Extremely kind and helpful, showed us where to eat and drink, the do´s and dont´s of Austin - as a previous poster said it; Avery is the man!"
2452800,12660322,2014-05-07,5240588,Claire,"My friends and I had an awesome stay in the Airstream. The place was top, great location, and it was lovely hanging out on the deck. Avery was the perfect host and his neighbours were easy going and really nice to talk to. Had a fantastic trip - only wish we had stayed longer. Recommended!!!"
2452800,12855549,2014-05-12,4003043,Ruthie,"What a great place! My friend and I loved the airstream- so spacious, everything worked, and we felt right at home. Avery and Sam (and the other guys who live in the house) were welcoming, easygoing, providing much-needed cold beers on arrival, sorting us out with bikes, and generally being consummate airbnb hosts. It's a great location, and makes for a brilliant Austin experience. Thanks Avery! "
2452800,13307399,2014-05-25,8023464,Sonia,"Avery was a great host! He had well needed beers ready for us upon arrival. Although he was out of town while we stayed in the Airstream, this was no problem at all as he touched base with us to ensure all was ok. Further, his friends/neighbours ensured we were ok and were having a great time. Some great times were indeed had in the lovely outdoor space which included a dart board! 
Lastly, the Airstream itself was very cool! A unique experience for us. This coupled with the nice location made it a great stay. "
2452800,13440094,2014-05-27,12295783,Tyler,Avery was a great host! Very easy to communicate with. The airstream was located in a great area of town. I definitely recommend booking this airstream!
2452800,13929417,2014-06-08,3454608,Chris,"My friend and I met in Austin in order to brainstorm on some creative projects, plus to give me a chance to learn more about the town (I'm thinking about moving here). For those respects, Avery's place was perfect. The location is near a lot of newer bars that we enjoyed. Less party and more chill and enjoyable than the normal 6th-street bars. Avery's a great host and the other people around make it a lot of fun. Staying in, having conversations and playing darts was a good alternative to going out every night. Otherwise, it was a perfect launching pad for exploring Austin and I could get everywhere I wanted (inside and outside of town) via motorbike."
2452800,14668206,2014-06-23,5453247,Caroline,"My friend and I were first-time Austin visitors, extremely eager to explore the city as we were passing through in a short period of three days.  We decided on the East Austin Airstream Trailer because of its superb (email hidden)d because it seemed to channel an Austin vibe.  We arrived late at night - Avery was out of town, but he left two friendly co-hosts to assist us in getting settled.  The airstream looked as rad as it did in the photos....straight out of the 70s! The trailer was equipped with everything we needed (shower, AC, kitchenette, storage space, and two beds).  While it wasn't perfect (there were some issues with the front door closing properly and a slight AC drip), we understood it was an old vehicle and didn't expect any sort of perfection.  Avery's co-hosts were extremely responsive whenever we asked for assistance, and very helpful in recommending what we do to ensure the best possible Austin experience.  We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back and visit Casey, Kyle and Sam!"
2452800,14726338,2014-06-24,17153922,Reagan,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2452800,15462918,2014-07-09,15873301,Charles,"Everything is as described. Showers have hot water and the couch functions as a 2nd bed. 

It's best to have a rental car as the heat and distance make biking slightly inconvenient and parking is easy on the east side. 

Lastly, fear not the air conditioning works just fine. Put it on the third (high) setting and it cools to low mid seventies which feels super refreshing in Austin heat. 

Would stay again. 
"
2452800,16220459,2014-07-23,17476352,Noelle,"Avery's airstream was a dream! Although he was out of town, the other resident of the property was very helpful- showed us the ropes and offered to answer any questions. We didn't use the air conditioning, but it was nice to know it was there! The location is great- we like east Austin a lot and the trailer had everything we needed. Thanks!"
2452800,16520764,2014-07-28,18577814,Tom,"We had a great stay in the '77 Airstream!  The location was great walkable to east 6th street, the neighbors that share the property were very welcoming and we enjoyed hanging out playing yard games in between our other activities.  Would definitely recommend to a friend."
2452800,18720331,2014-08-31,17560390,Jeremy,"Great, very cool spot in E. Austin, extremely close to loads of bars and restaurants. I didn't meet Avery, but Sam (who's one of the trailer's owners) was very friendly, responsible and responsive. It's a beautifully restored 1977 trailer, so you won't get all of the modern luxuries of a house / apt., but that's really the point. All in all, a very cool and comfortable place to stay and hang out."
2452800,19265160,2014-09-09,16385572,Christopher,"What a great way to get the feel of Austin! We spent four nights here, in this super cozy Airstream. With a fully functional kitchen, AC, shower and comfy bed, it really contributed to making our stay special. We also borrowed bikes, which is a great way to see and get around Austin, and public transport is just round the corner. We didn't meet Avery, but Sam took great care of us from arrival and onwards, as did our camper neighbours - one of whom has a little puppy! The location is great, quiet but with lots of nice bars at walking/biking distance. And Franklin BBQ is a six-minute-bike-ride away. And downtown about a ten-minute-bike-ride away. It's also just ten minutes from the airport, so a cab there costs about 20-25 dollars.

 (And there's an outdoor shower which we highly recommend!)

So if you're looking for something different and a great location, this is an excellent choice! "
2452800,19539920,2014-09-14,1195347,Dorothee + Steffen,"We had a really special stay at the cute Airstream. It was a true Austin experience with local tips and backyards chats. The Airstream is very authentic and has great vintage decor, comfortable beds and was plenty large for the two of us. We'd come back anytime."
2452800,19773777,2014-09-18,18283499,Jacqueline,"The trailer was absolutely perfect and as described. Sam and Elena were incredibly hospitable. The airstream was so cozy, it had the right mix of vintage flair and the necessary upgrades to make the visit comfortable. Sam was always available for communication and answered all questions quickly. The fridge was stocked with Texas beer and Topo Chico! How thoughtful! The airstream had all the amenities to cook, entertain and shower. There was even an awesome outside shower. They provided bicycles, helmets and a lock for us to use. They also provided towels for us to take to Barton Springs. There was a friendly puppy in the common area too! "
2452800,20744517,2014-10-05,19441864,Josie,"Sam and Elana were great at getting back to me about the process of finding the airstream and getting the keys. The airstream is comfortable for two people, and the AC works great. The bed was amazingly comfortable too. The trailer was neat and tidy and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. "
2452800,21462473,2014-10-18,4078712,Jacques,"I've never been in an airstream or any kind of mobile home before and while staying at Sam & Elena's place I realized that I'd missed out!
The airstream is super comfy and the hosts thought about everything: coffee, water and drinks in the fridge, lots of bath accessories, charming decoration etc etc.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to talk to them as much as I wished, but my Austin vacation was perfect!"
2452800,26388309,2015-02-11,10556684,Aaron,"We must say, after spending five days exploring all Austin had to offer, staying in Sam's Airstream perfectly captured the feel of the Austin life!  

Sam and Elena were excellent hosts, very accessible and easy to communicate with.  We greatly appreciated them getting the bikes up and running for us.  Special thanks also goes out to our backyard neighbour Kyle, who graciously took us out for a tour of the local pubs on our first night in town.

The Airstream itself was great, fully loaded, very comfortable bed, and the perfect sized space for two people.  It's a unique experience and quite the departure from a traditional hotel, and we very highly recommend!

"
2452800,26919963,2015-02-22,26058151,Katie,"My airstream stay was a great glamping experience. The trailer seems to have all the original bells and whistles, which is great, but being respectful of her quirks is necessary. It was clean and there was extra bedding and plenty of towels provided. The bed was comfortable and I had to use the portable heater one night, which did the trick.  The neighborhood felt safe and was close enough to all that I wanted to do. The ladies (chickens) were nice to have around, but be prepared for chicken poop.  
If you're looking for a real Austin feel this is your place.  I'm from Austin and it is quite obvious that anything quaint about the town has been exploited.  But, Sam, Elena, and Kyle really took me back to the good ole' days of Austin.  Kyle helped me out with setting up the grill and the fire pit, which was such a great amenity, and I enjoyed hanging out with everyone as well!"
2452800,27491510,2015-03-06,66218,Kevin,"This place was perfect.  Awesome hosts, great location, and the trailer is so well set up.  Almost everything's original in it, from the light fixtures to the storage shelves to the furniture.  But Sam has added all kinds of little details that make it feel welcoming. 

Fresh fruit, good reading material, beer in the fridge were also really nice touches. 

It was super cold in Austin, but the electric heaters worked well to heat up the trailer. Oh, and super comfy bed. "
2452800,28296196,2015-03-22,15411,Greg,"Sam & Elena nailed it — it's exactly what we wanted as a crash pad during SXSW, and they are two of the most friendly, accommodating folks you'll ever meet. RV living without all the hassle of movement, hookups, KOA campgrounds, or loud neighbors. Note: you must love chickens. I'll be back, gang! "
2452800,28799710,2015-03-30,7485287,Kimberly,"Sam and Elena's 1977 Airstream is the perfect place to stay in a private yard located in the East side of Austin! It has a full bed for two, pullout sofa, kitchen, fridge, toilet, and shower! It may be very close to a lot of cool bars like Whisler's and more on 6th/7th St, but you'll never hear the hustle and bustle when you try to get a good night sleep. They are very friendly and reply quickly when you need any help. I highly recommend them and will definitely be back if I ever come back to Austin!"
2452800,29183404,2015-04-05,11584176,Cole,"The airstream was such a getaway. It was wonderful to stay in something plucked right out of the 70's. It also had modern utilities to complete the package.
The chickens and their fresh eggs were the best part though. It was fantastic waking up to them in the morning.
"
2452800,29844708,2015-04-13,11130455,Jillian,"A+ experience! The trailer was clean, comfortable and cozy. A wonderful, unique place to stay while visiting Austin. It is located in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance to great neighborhoods and conveniently close to public transportation. Sam, Elena and Kyle were so accommodating and kind. We would 100% recommend staying here. "
2452800,30376899,2015-04-21,1774177,Jennifer,"Had a great time in Austin and it was made even better by Sam's hospitality and generosity! We mostly had our itineraries set, but he was happy to give suggestions if needed. The Airstream was cute and well stocked with all mod cons. We loved it! We walked everywhere and this spot is so convenient to the bars, coffee shops, and restaurants (which are plentiful!) on and around 6th Street on the Eastside. Highly recommended! Thanks so much Sam! "
2452800,30764135,2015-04-27,5114251,Janice,"What a wonderful experience. As a host Sam exceeded all expectations. We arrived very late and he accommodated that. The airstream  itself was unique as well as comfortable. The host and his friends were lovely, warmly welcoming and generous with tips and ideas for our stay - texas beer and fresh eggs from the chickens. The local  area is  really worth exploring. Great  pubs and places to eat. Thanks for a wonderful holiday. "
2452800,31878164,2015-05-11,221907,Holly,Thanks for the great stay! Sam was a super accommodating host and the places is full of charm. There was even fresh eggs (from the backyard chickens) and beer when we arrived! Short walk to tons of great bars/food trucks. We will definitely be back. 
2452800,32192833,2015-05-15,2918132,William,"Sam was a very welcoming host. We didn't see him much but he was prompt with his responses and was readily available. The Airstream was such a perfect place to stay. The right amount of room for two people and it was stocked with everything to make the stay comfortable. It even held up nicely throughout all of the storms. The location is ideal if you are interested in the hip East 6th bar scene and we actually found the area to be very quiet and walkable. I'd recommend the Airstream for those who are slightly more adventurous, but still would like a nice, clean, and cozy place to stay."
2452800,32560715,2015-05-19,31722508,Pamela,Stayed here for a quick weekend in Austin.  Sam was a great host.   He was extremely welcoming and let us borrow bikes to explore around town and gave us a bunch of really great recommendations for things to do and places to eat.  The airstream was clean and the neighborhood was a great example of east Austin with lots of good bars/food/coffee near by.  We especially liked the chickens in the backyard!  Overall a great experience.
2452800,33368615,2015-05-27,5353930,Meredith,"Sam's airstream and backyard compound truly made our Austin experience authentic, casual, relaxed and adventurous. It was easy to find, very cozy and clean inside the airstream with the 70s retro charm. Sam left some craft beers and eggs from his chickens in the fridge for us upon arrival, which made us feel right at home. The yard is eclectic and funky-- the chickens are adorable and friendly. We spend quite a few days in the AS and were able to thoroughly enjoy the yard by playing darts, sunning with a book, did some laundry outside and chatted with the neighbors staying in the adjacent little trailers. Sam and his girlfriend are so friendly and accommodating!  The AS was perfect because my sister and I are both very petite, so it was not cramped whatsoever. I ran in the mornings and was able to acclimate myself with the neighborhood quickly. It's very safe and there are great coffee shops, breakfast cafes, and local dive pubs right down the street. It's a fantastic location and a 5-8 minute uber ride to downtown. We loved our stay and sincerely hope to make it back there soon. We are smitten with Austin and the airstream."
2452800,33803691,2015-06-01,5412610,Benjamin,East Austin is like the Bywater in New Orleans; nice mix of races and classes; Sam's trailer compound was heavenly for us. Quiet and comfortable. Chickens and cats and lots of funky junk around. Trailer is very comfy and everything works to design specifications. 
2452800,34639295,2015-06-10,10085633,Sara + Kelsey,"The airstream was everything you wouldn't expect a trailer to be: cool, comfortable, spacious, convenient. We loved it! The mini trailer park in Sam's back yard is charming and cute. We had a great stay and would love to stay again. "
2452800,35222501,2015-06-16,26995820,Nicola,"Sam's place is so novel and really fun. He and his partner Elena are very welcoming, approachable and helpful people, and they were a pleasure to stay with.  The chickens are super cute too.  Be sure to  walk down to E 6th St in East Austin- it's such a fantastic trendy neighborhood and we felt very safe walking around the local area even late at night.  It's a long walk into the centre of town (particularly in summer), so I very much recommend jumping on the bus that runs right down 7th St."
2452800,35713904,2015-06-21,236697,Paul,Sam was a great host and very accommodating.
2452800,37177762,2015-07-05,33995655,Jessica,"This was my very first trip to Texas! One of my greatest friends met me in Austin from OH, and I traveled from Florida and we decided we wanted to experience Austin for everything it is and Sam's accommodations did just that! He was great to work with when booking and answered all my questions.  I was contacted a few days before my arrival with a confirmation and when I arrived Sarah was there to help settle us in.  She did a great job showing us around, and ensuring we were all set before leaving. She was easily reachable during our stay.  The Airstream was exactly what we expected and then some.  It was clean, well put together, quaint and a great experience.  The shower inside worked perfectly fine, but there is also an outside shower that is accessible and kind of awesome too! Beds were very comfy, fridge was stocked with water and beer and there were some snacks and breakfast items there if we wanted. Even awesome chickens and access to fresh eggs! Overall I was more than pleased with my stay! It is convenient to downtown, safe, charming, and pure Austin! Photos online are true to what you see. Thanks so much for everything Sam and Sarah, we had an amazing time! "
2452800,38123047,2015-07-13,11593257,Emma,"We stayed in the airstream for a couple of nights. We never got to meet Sam but we met Kyle and he was super helpful, gave us tips of where to go and showed us around. A real treat! The airstream as expected, cosy and vintage! The backyard is awesome! Its close to east 6th st where there is alot of food trailers and bars. We Didnt even have to go downtown, buses will take you there if you wish. We are more than satisfied with our stay and will love to visit again!"
2452800,39171074,2015-07-21,27666416,Rebecca,"Me and my friend had an amazing stay in Sam's airstream. The trailer was cosy and homely, located conveniently near 6th Street. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Sam, (although he was still very helpful in communicating to us before we arrived) but we met Kyle who made sure we were comfortable and was very helpful pumping up the bikes for us and also recommending places to eat and visit. The airstream is a great experience and it made our stay in Austin perfect. I would highly recommend staying in this little slice of Texas heaven."
2452800,39824702,2015-07-26,17309305,Jen,"The listing is 100% accurate--which means it's totally adorable, equipped with anything you'll need for a long or short stay, and really comfortable even in the really uncomfortable Austin heat. Sam and Kyle(!) are awesome hosts with great recommendations, help, anything you'll need. The location is super convenient and the free use of bikes make it even more convenient. Perfect for a couple or 2-3 friends!"
2452800,40758499,2015-08-02,4443913,Eloise,"My boyfriend and I had an awesome stay in Sam's airstream! The airstream is super cute and we had a fridge full of beer, water and fresh eggs which was so nice! The area is really cool and it's easy to walk to lots of little bars and cafes, but especially lots of good food trucks. Sam was away while we were there, but Kyle who lives in one of the other caravans was there to greet us and he made our stay absolutely amazing. A super cool dude. There were two bikes for us to use during our stay which made getting around that much easier. We loved making this space our home for the week. We couldn't recommend this place more! Stay here!"
2452800,42428436,2015-08-13,23076015,David,My wife and I had an incredible time on our honeymoon stay at the airstream. Sam couldn't be a better host and Kyle a better neighbor. I highly recommend you stay there and if you do please enjoy Mohawk's blue eggs. Authentic Austin experience. Close to so many great bars and food joints. Enjoy !!!
2452800,43289119,2015-08-18,1110116,Drew,"Sam's Airstream was a great jump-off point for a return trip to Austin by my wife and I for a fun long weekend. We've stayed downtown and South Congress before and this gave us a chance to experience the growing East Austin scene in a way that was unique to the area. The funky vibe was evident in everything and we enjoyed having a beer with Sam and Elena and Kyle who lives in one of the other trailers. Don't expect luxury here but do expect a relaxed, comfortable vibe with everything you need. The days were hot but the Airstream cooled down pretty quickly with the A/C on and the neighborhood is what you might imagine as it goes through the gentrification process. "
2452800,44099476,2015-08-24,20668752,Greer,"Sam is a great host, offering lots of ideas on what to do in Austin - Barton Springs a must! The airstream is very comfortable and clean, and Sam has everything you need covered. Highly recommend."
2452800,45259791,2015-09-01,2620566,Rhiannon,"The airstream did not disappoint! Very clean and decorated super cute with lots of attention to detail. We enjoyed constantly discovering new compartments, lights etc in the airstream. The chickens were fun and we did enjoy the fridge stocked with beers and Topo Chico too. Sam, Kyle and the other guest were all friendly. Staying here was definitely a highlight of our trip! "
2452800,45925174,2015-09-07,186888,Matthew,"One word: Amazing. Sam's airstream is what makes airbnb special and trying something different than a normal hotel. We didn't meet Sam but Kyle was there to help in every way possible but also without invading your space.

The place is compact but we had no problem has a couple and has everything you could want or need. Plus some cold beers waiting in the fridge.

The location is great, its in a quiet neighborhood a bit away from all the craziness but with a bike its super easy. Also uber is everywhere. We actually walked to the wild Dirty Sixth street in about 30 mins. 10 on a bike or 4 mins uber.

We actually liked the closer east 6th side bars much better.

I hope this place is available on our next trip to Austin, its such an awesome city!"
2452800,46773769,2015-09-13,25467469,Chase,Sam was a great host. He kept us very informed and answered all of our questions promptly. The airstream experience was so cool! I could not have thought of a better place to stay in Austin than in Sam's Airstream. It really was the quintessential feel we where hoping from our Austin trip. 
2452800,47649691,2015-09-21,34009167,Matthew,"We very much enjoyed our stay in Sam's East Austin Airstream, and would highly recommend it to others.  The Airstream itself is in a quiet, secluded area off of the street, with a nice little area to sit outside and have a drink or throw darts.  We had everything we needed for our stay in the Airstream -- nice fridge, good bathroom and shower, and a very comfortable bed.  Sam included a great list of local coffee shops and restaurants.  We ate at a bakery right down the street, and another restaurant in the area recommended by Sam, and both were excellent. 

Overall, we had a fantastic experience with both our host and the Airstream!"
2452800,48506434,2015-09-27,5224287,Stephanie,"Sam was a great host before and during the time we stayed with him. Very organized and clear and helpful!

The Airstream is a vintage gem, a cozy spot outfitted with little Austin details and guide books. We didn't use the yard too much, only because we were running around Austin. But there are chickens = awesome! The location is right in East Austin a couple blocks from spots to eat and drink and short walk from some of the best breakfast tacos. Recommend."
2452800,49875133,2015-10-07,16270397,Stephen,"My wife and I had a great time staying in Sam's airstream for a week. Sam was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The airstream was actually bigger than we thought it would be and was perfect for two people. It was clean, had everything we needed and there were even cold beers in the fridge when we arrived! It's only a few minutes walk to the bus stop and then about 10 minutes or so ride into downtown. Austin had a lot to offer and I would recommend going to the Alamo draft house for one of their cult movie showings. Overall, we had a great time and would not hesitate to recommend the airstream."
2452800,50428916,2015-10-12,18886026,Holly,This place makes me want to come back to Austin just so that I can stay here again! Host was great.  Gave us our privacy but was available if needed.  Fridge was stocked with beverages and farm fresh eggs; bathroom had anything I might need if I had forgotten to pack it myself; sheets and towels were top notch and super soft.  Place was clean and smelled great and was around the corner from some great neighborhood bars and close enough to East 6th that we were able to walk.   Thanks for the authentic experience of an airstream!
2452800,51273089,2015-10-19,391664,Nora,"The airstream is in a really cute neighborhood with all different kinds of houses. It's really close to 6th street, like a 5 minute drive, and even closer to 7th street with some really nice restaurants and coffee shops.  The space is small but, but perfect for 2 people. The bed is comfortable and there are plenty of great Austin magazine's that provide good food and activity suggestions. We felt super comfortable there and it was easy to find and park out front. There are cute chickens who run around the yard but they never woke us up!"
2452800,52568951,2015-10-31,12119365,Lauren,"The trailer is such a great space, and was perfect for our stay. It has lots of quirky details and huge amount of character. Loved the chickens and the beers provided in the fridge were a great touch. Such fun hanging out with the guys and frequenting the local watering holes. I Would not hesitate to stay here again, and was very reluctant to leave the trailer and Austin. Thanks for a great stay"
5433681,28274730,2015-03-21,27919149,Zack,Josh and Meng were very nice and the place was great. Just as advertised and I highly recommend.

comfortable queen bed 
refreshments in fridge 
close to public transportation 
nice kitchen area 
pleasant neighbors 
nice bathroom/shower 
place was very clean 
park/green space across street
close to good food options 

and most importantly a very helpful and available host, cheers!"
4163228,22032829,2014-10-28,19622697,Jennifer,"I had a lovely experience staying at Sarah's place. Her studio is very clean, modern, and the location is hard to beat - between S1st and South Congress, but south enough to avoid the crowds & noise around some of the tourist traps. Her building is quiet and has a pool - perfect for relaxing after checking out all that Austin has to offer. There's also a great Tex-Mex cafe right at the corner!

Sarah was the perfect host - highly communicative and very willing to give suggestions or even offer a ride.  I highly recommend this spot if it's available - I had a great time!"
4163228,22317287,2014-11-03,22223247,Anuj,Sarah was a perfect host. Everything was ready for us when we checked in the room . She also provided water and milk which was helpful due to busy schedule. She also replied promptly to any queries we had .
4163228,22654560,2014-11-11,6854589,Amanda,Wonderful host and a fantastic location. We had a great time!
4163228,24300427,2014-12-25,23432552,Amy,The place was incredibly clean and well kept. Our host was always extremely friendly and speedy with replies on questions and concerns. The place was easily assessable by multiple bus stops. I would definitely recommend and come to stay again.  
4163228,24494966,2014-12-29,24620731,Kerri,Cozy and cute studio apartment conveniently close to South Congress. Sarah was wonderful!
4163228,26098675,2015-02-03,16207935,Todd,Great location in South Congress. Sarah was very communicative and accommodating.
4163228,27039369,2015-02-23,9783823,Michelle,We definitely enjoyed our stay at Sarah's cute little apartment! The place was just as described/shown in pictures and it was just a couple of minutes away from dt. I only wish we could've stayed a little longer! The host was great about communicating with us and was super flexible about our arrival time. It was great! 
4163228,28163386,2015-03-19,25729718,Dennis,As described with a sweet shower and a clean place to stay on a quiet side street just a quick bike ride from the vibrant south congress or South 1st . Big plus for the nice mexican on the same street that has excellent and inexpensive breakfasts. 
4163228,28696301,2015-03-29,2973469,Michelle,We enjoyed our stay at this cozy studio flat close to Austin hot spots. All amenities were true to the photos and descriptions. Sarah was a responsive and very accommodating host. Excellent place for a weekend in the city!
4163228,30131671,2015-04-18,14969293,Daniel,Great place within walking distance of South Congress.
4163228,30386471,2015-04-21,28061955,Nicole,"Sarah was very helpful in letting us check in as early as possible and made sure to offer tips and advice and any help we needed. The apartment was small but cozy and near South Congress, which is a great area for food, music and shopping. It's walkable if you're up for it.  Sarah was sure to assist in answering our questions during the trip."
4163228,31896685,2015-05-11,5705619,Katie,"Sarah's place was great! It was really cute and just what we needed. It was really close to south congress area, which was perfect.  Sarah was really communicative and we loved the 5pm check out time!! It made our last day there really leisurely. Would definitely recommend! "
4163228,32572692,2015-05-19,11146938,Irene,Sarah was very responsive and accommodating. I had my little dog with me on the trip and she left food and a bed for him during the trip! The place was a cute small studio in a quiet neighborhood. The location was 5 min to downtown and in the heart of south Austin. Was very satisfied with the stay and would recommend renting from Sarah.
4163228,34432982,2015-06-08,28294774,Stacey,Sarahs apartment was perfect for us.  Great location and very close to downtown.  It was exactly where I wanted to be.  Sarah was very sweet and flexible with everything.  She even had water and snacks for us.  This was special since I was traveling with my 2 kids.
4163228,35127907,2015-06-15,23620402,Caresse,"Sarah's apartment was very clean, and the description of contemporary & quaint is very accurate! The location of the apartment was very convenient and a quick uber ride to just about everywhere we needed to go. We had a bit of a problem with the wifi but Sarah's prompt response and willingness to go above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed made a huge difference, and really made our stay even better. Check in and check out was very easy. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice, carefree, clean and enjoyable stay in Austin. "
4163228,37307264,2015-07-06,6078786,Lucía,Sarah is a charming person and was very helpful to us. The apartment is so comfortable on a quiet neighbourhood. I deeply recommend it.
4163228,39978867,2015-07-27,14249185,Allison,"Sarah's apartment was great!  It's a very clean, modern and open/airy studio apartment that was perfect for the 2 of us. The cable tv, wifi, central air and waterfall showerhead were nice touches that made our stay very comfortable and relaxing.  The apartment is located about 10 minutes from downtown (our Uber ride was under $10 every time), and just south of South Congress.  Sarah was very responsive and accommodating.  Highly recommended. "
4163228,41122387,2015-08-04,19539308,Robert,"Perfect little studio in S. Congress. Easy $6.  uber ride to downtown,  close to Zilker and everything else. Plenty of great restaurants within 10min walk. Loved the place!  Great area and friendly neighbors if you're into socializing and hanging out by the pool at the apt. Would stay again in a heartbeat! "
4163228,42054536,2015-08-10,40148189,Kimberly,This was a great neighborhood and Sarah was easily reachable. 
4163228,43078552,2015-08-17,407361,Mike,Sarah was an amazing host! Her place was very clean and a perfect location for our stay. She was full of great suggestions for places to eat as well. She even had a bottle of wine waiting for us since we were on our honeymoon :)  I would gladly recommend her place to anyone wanting a great place to stay while visiting Austin!
4163228,47842545,2015-09-21,18722324,Daniel,"Sarah's place was the perfect Austin getaway. Very clean, welcoming, and a perfect location. Sarah made everything very easy and was a great host!"
4163228,48781175,2015-09-28,39300131,Alexandra,"Sarah's place was great for a recent trip to Austin with my best friend. The location is excellent and the apartment was very clean and tidy. The bed was also very comfortable!! Sarah was easy to get in touch with and was flexible in terms of check in and check out times. She was also accommodating, offering to provide us an air mattress should we need one. This was my first time using Airbnb and I'm pleased to say it was a positive experience!"
4163228,50629322,2015-10-13,40678760,Alan,"My girlfriend and I travelled from the UK and stayed at Sarah's apartment for the Austin City Limits music festival. The location was great and everywhere we wanted to go (the festival grounds in Zilker Park, Downtown, the State Capitol building, the cool and quirky stores and hangouts of Congress) were all within an hour's walk, tops. There was also a large HEB grocery store no more than 5 minutes from the apartment which was super convenient.

Sarah was a really helpful host and although we never met her, she kept in contact throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment itself although small, was clean and well presented and the powerful A/C provided welcome respite from being out all day in the Texas heat!

If you're looking for a place to stay for the ACL festival I can totally recommend Sarah's apartment - the walk to the festival grounds is straightforward and takes around 40 minutes, passing by some great food trucks for some authentic Tex-Mex cuisine and quirky vintage stores along the way. If I'm ever back in the wonderful city of Austin, I'd definitely stay here again!"
5013929,28139552,2015-03-18,2021278,Charisse,"Manny was awesome and this home is amazing. Everything was well planned and he even offered to stock with some goodies!  We had a great time at SXSW. If you are looking for a awesome, comfortable SX house this is the place to go. The house was clean, convenient and functional. I really enjoyed staying there - Manny was super sweet and  just amazing! I would totally stay here again.

2447244,10856713,2014-03-10,12549401,Hank,"This was my first time using Airbnb, and I have to say it was one of the best travel experiences I've ever had. Joyce made me feel more than welcome in a city I had only previously been to for a few hours. I felt right at home; I even started referring to the cottage as 'home' (whoops). Joyce and the cottage exceeded all my expectations and greatly surpassed any hotel stay I've ever had. She gave me excellent tips on the local scene and environment, and even some restaurant pointers! All of my fellow coworkers were extremely jealous of my luck of finding Joyce! She went above and beyond to make my stay special! And although it rained the whole trip, it just gave me more reasons to stay in the cottage! I hope our paths cross again and I know she will be the first to know if I ever visit Austin again! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
2447244,11021319,2014-03-17,3395225,Eric,"Joyce was an amazing host and the cottage was perfect for my SXSW stay. Close enough to walk to all that South Congress has to offer and just a short bike ride (or pedicab) from downtown. Joyce was kind enough to leave some snacks and drinks for me and had great recommendations on where to eat in the area. I would highly recommend staying here and it'll be on my short list for my next trip back to Austin. Tip: If you're going to be there for a while, rent a bike or buy a weeklong B Cycle pass for $25. The closest B Cycle station is about an 8 minute walk away and then you have a whole bunch stations to return or checkout a bike. Worked smoothly for me."
2447244,11565252,2014-04-07,2808468,Treavor,Great place to stay.  Would recommend over a boring hotel any time.  Joyce was even nice enough to leave great banana bread for us.  
2447244,11761519,2014-04-14,13378606,Veronica,"Joyce's cottage was absolutely fantastic! Beautiful place to stay, great location, and lots of little extra hospitable touches left by Joyce! I wish I could stay here every time I visit Austin!"
2447244,12250769,2014-04-27,9890156,Shandelle,We really enjoyed staying at Joyce's place. It was easy to coordinate with her and the space is just lovely.  Joyce provided several amenities that are sweet and thoughtful.  We highly recommend Boudlin Creek Cottage!
2447244,12385178,2014-04-30,14628085,Michael,"We loved this space. Joyce was a wonderful host, while she wasn't present for our stay she gave clear directions and offered a wealth of help from afar. The space is airy, bright, clean, well decorated and very comfortable. It was in a great location. Thoughtful landscaping surrounds the house, which provides not only ideal privacy from other homes in the area and the property's main house, but also creates great light and blocks out the direct Texas sun. The host also provided some refreshments, coffee set ups, and other thoughtful amenities, which was a pleasant surprise. A great stay and a welcoming host."
2447244,17671544,2014-08-16,5683197,Carleigh,"We couldn't have asked for a better house and host during our 2 month stay in Austin. The cottage is in a fantastic location within walking distance of all the great restaurants and shops of South Congress and South First St. The cottage itself is very well designed, providing plenty of natural light along with privacy. The house was clean, comfortable and well equipped with anything and more you’d need during your stay. Joyce was hospitable  and thoughtful in making us feel at home. She was very pleasant to interact with and quick to respond to our questions. Only one down side of the place, you’ll never want to leave! Thank you for making our time in Austin one to remember, Joyce! "
2447244,21279722,2014-10-14,6787963,Meredith,"Don't look any further, this is the place you should stay for your trip to Austin. The location is perfect, the cottage is cozy, and Joyce was a more than gracious host. This was my first trip to Austin, and I found myself spending more time at this cottage than I had any right to considering it was my first visit. Can't wait to stay again!"
2447244,41113986,2015-08-04,37686196,B,Joyce is an outstanding host.  A  perfect retreat. Walking distance to all that S. Congress has to offer. Wish I could stay longer. 
4188641,24361512,2014-12-27,8022139,Sabrina,"The owner was amazing. He provided everything we needed. He was always there to help when we asked. Even going so far as to buying hairdryers for us.  The house was beautiful over the Christmas season, decorated with lights and pristine clean. 
We loved being near the lake and enjoying long walks along it. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms were great. We will definitely be renting this house over and over again."
4188641,25702434,2015-01-23,6642793,Claire,"Craig's home is just as listed - clean, beautiful spaces, well designed, well stocked, luxurious and comfortable beds, and location was perfect.  Our group of four women enjoyed every aspect of the home and couldn't have been more comfortable.  Craig was quick to respond to our texts on arrival and departure making everything easy for us.  We only wish we could have stayed longer! "
4188641,25776439,2015-01-25,21232517,Jeff,A couple friends and I stayed here to see Austin for all its worth. Craig was an awesome host and the place was perfect for what we needed. The house was clean and new and in a GREAT location for the price. I will definitely be recommending this house if not stay here again next time I am in Austin!
4188641,25910489,2015-01-29,11557943,Danielle,"Hands down, this is probably the best accommodation we could have found in Austin. Beautiful home, clean and modern, comfortable furnishings, all the basic necessities provided, excellent location, quiet neighborhood - the works! Our Austin friends couldn't stop raving about how nice it was.

Craig was very pleasant to deal with and made sure we had everything we needed. 

I would definitely stay here for my next trip to Austin and would highly recommend it to anyone else. "
4188641,26260835,2015-02-08,26252400,Joyce,"Great place. Perfect for a girls weekend, accommodated 8 very comfortably. Craig is a great host. Aside from one funky smelling comforter, the house was very clean.  Location is perfect.  Would definitely book again in the future!"
4188641,26598906,2015-02-16,25587598,Maritza,"We absolutely loved this place. The house is gorgeous; it has all the amenities you can imagine.  A full equip kitchen with high in appliances, toiletries, bath ropes, slippers, snacks, etc., a master suite bedroom that takes your breath away. The house is located in a wonderful neighborhood, very quiet, next to the lake, coffee shops and restaurants.   Morning coffee in the porch, or family gatherings in the backyard deck are all wonderful memories that we will never forget. 
Craig is a superb host, he really pay attention to all the small details that made us feel right at home.  The day after we check in we realized that the coffee maker was not operating like it should, we call Craig and in less than an hour we had a replacement coffee maker. This is a good example of what a responsible host Craig is. We recommend this house, and will stay here again when visiting Austin.
"
4188641,27250187,2015-03-01,24916491,Maggie,"Craig's place was perfect!! Super clean, comfortable & homey.  And in a fantastic location!  Walk over to Mozarts for coffee each morning & a view of the lake.  
Craig was very attentive and even went and purchased a grill for us while we were there.  We'll be back!"
4188641,27993804,2015-03-16,2339587,Suzanne,lovely home with wonderful song birds to wake you up each morning. us city girls really enjoyed the back yard and open space.
4188641,28596939,2015-03-27,8644095,Debra,"We had a great experience here. The house is beautiful, well located and very generously stocked with things that we don't usually see in short term rentals. Craig is very friendly, helpful and hands on. We love the convenient location to so many things including getting into town, without the hustle and bustle that other popular areas of town have. We will rent it again for sure!
"
4188641,28990219,2015-04-02,14762112,Danielle,"Great location, easy-going host, world's most comfortable bed. Loved being close to the water and a short drive from down town. Would definitely stay here again!"

This house is beautiful, clean, and in the perfect location--just a skip and hop from the river.  We loved going for morning walks along with water with the kids and playing outdoors.  We will definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin and can't wait to come back to explore more.  Thanks Craig for making our stay so pleasant!"
4188641,30184126,2015-04-19,24934800,Deby,"We absolutely adored this home.  It was sparkling clean and fresh, with luxurious bedding and very well stocked kitchen.   The location could not have been better for us, with great restaurants and the lake so close, but with a cute private back patio for privacy.  I would highly recommend this property to anyone.  Craig Carter was  a gracious host, always available, but never needed."
4188641,31766177,2015-05-10,26819834,Angela,"The house was exactly as pictured. The only minor difference was that the swing in the front was missing, but Craig left us a note and informed us that he had put rocking chairs in its place. The house was in great condition, the guidebooks and information packets were really helpful and Craig was also very responsive to any questions that we had. Highly recommended and would definitely rent again if I ever find myself back in Austin. "
4188641,33769139,2015-06-01,20399300,Amy Nicole,"A group of us stayed at Craig's place this weekend and we were beyond happy about our experience. The house is beautiful and everything is well thought out for guests down to the coffee and candles. We had such a great time and can't wait to come back. So close to the water where you can easily rent a boat for the day or walk down to hula hut for some amazing adult beverages! Oh and also, our fur babies loves the yard too!!"
4188641,34934708,2015-06-14,1654650,Alex,"This is an absolutely beautiful space! It is so perfectly located by the water, and the front and back porch are ideal for lounging (especially if you've got a four legged friend to join you)! My buddies and I immensely enjoyed Craig's space, and greatly appreciate both his contact and hospitality! Gonna rent in Austin? Do it by the lake here...."

4188641,40764926,2015-08-02,36388356,Jennifer,"I rented this home for a girls' weekend in late July.  We had a great experience.  The house is cute and very spacious for 8 people.  Comfortable beds and a nice big kitchen and dining room.  It is clean and well-taken care of.  The neighborhood felt safe and is only a 10 minute ride to Downtown Austin bars and restaurants.  Prior to arriving, Craig did a great job of making us feel welcome and answering questions about the home.  He put us in touch with a great boat rental company - the highlight of the weekend. The location a block from Lake Austin can't be beat - it's perfect if you plan to enjoy boating or water sports. All in all a great experience and a place and host I'd book with again.  Thank you!"
4188641,42839103,2015-08-16,242707,Teresa,"Craig's lakeside house was relaxing, well appointed and lovely! The location was so close to the lake, with coffee shops and restaurants nearby. And Craig made sure that we were comfortable with all the amenities we needed - including coffee, plenty of fresh towels, and even a washer/dryer. Would definitely recommend staying here for your visit to Austin. "
4188641,44184562,2015-08-24,20442729,Paul,"Great house in a fun location. We more than comfortably fit four of us in the house and had plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for relaxing and getting out of the Texas heat. The house is right by the water, only a quick uber ride away from downtown and has a few shops within walking distance to grab coffee or a bite to eat. Craig was extremely responsive and made sure we had everything we needed, including snacks and coffee. Overall a great place with the added benefit of a modern kitchen for those inclined to do some cooking."

It was a perfect stay and we will request this home as soon as we can get back to beautiful Austin!!!"
4188641,50433614,2015-10-12,8954725,Michael,"Craig was fantastic in terms of his accommodation and expertise in the area. His recommendations were spot on and the cottage was amazing. Roomy, spacious and luxurious, we could ask for nothing more in a weekend AirBnB. Will likely be back sooner rather than later. Thanks again. "
4188641,51263239,2015-10-19,28689361,Kate,Craig could not have been more accommodating and made our visit to Austin so easy - which is saying alot with two babies under 2!  The house was absolutely lovely; phenomenal location with a dreamy front porch and fun backyard.  All the rooms are spacious and it was just such a comfortable house.  I did not want to leave!  We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Austin!  Thank you Craig! 
4188641,52673334,2015-11-01,35714127,Christopher,We were in Austin to attend a wedding for a friend over Halloween weekend.  The Cottage is a fantastic property and Craig was a great host.  The house is nicely laid out and has lots of room.  There's a great front porch and back deck for drinking a few Shiners at dusk.  The house is in a good location within walking distance to a few bars and restaurants and a short Uber to downtown.  Craig was responsive for the few questions we had and overall we would highly recommend this property.
953071,3775586,2013-03-13,5173392,Dan,"Luis was very helpful and responsive to my questions leading up to my trip to Austin. Once I arrived he left a great list of top spots to check out while in town. The location of his loft was perfect while I was in Austin for SXSW, and I was able to walk just about everywhere. Looking forward to renting his place again when I go back to Austin!"
953071,4090145,2013-04-08,5767128,Katelyn,"Luis' place was my roommate and I's first experience using Airbnb and he was a fabulous host; easily got our keys from his girlfriend when we arrived and we had two yummy treats waiting for us on the kitchen table :) The place was perfect sized - big loft, comfy bed, nice and clean. It worked out well, price was right and it felt much more home-like than staying in a hotel. 

It was our first trip to Austin, so Luis sent us a list of great places to check out as well as some good eats. He was easy to reach and when we returned our keys, we met up with him at the local farmers market. Austin's got such a great feel - I think staying in Luis' place helped with that for sure. If I get back to Austin (hopefully sooner than later) I am definitely contacting Luis again."

953071,4751441,2013-05-23,2548203,Sandy,"Great location. Super nice host. Was flexible with my check in time (I checked in late). Comfy bed and big kitchen although I did not use it to cook (not sure if I could but I am sure he would not have minded as long as I cleaned up). Did not see hair dryer which would have been handy. Nice cozy patio for fresh air. He gave me recommendations via email and in person for places to go. Felt safe in the area which is important for single female travelling alone. Could use a good, deep cleaning but functional space. "
953071,4840068,2013-05-28,2547986,Chaz,Luis was a great host. Pick up and drop off was very simple and stressless. The location is great and near a lot of the best parts of East Austin. Can't wait to visit Austin again!

I was pleased to find that it's location was easily accessible and nearby to many of the restaurants, bars, and places I planned on visiting during my time in Austin.

953071,18806379,2014-09-01,5037787,Timothy,Great place in a charming neighborhood.  Close to lots of things to do around Austin.
953071,24148025,2014-12-21,5026128,Danielle,"Great location! Cool space! Good communication with guest! 

Only problem for us was the lack of lighting near the couch -- it's so dark over there and was really difficulty to work in the evening. 
"
953071,25891232,2015-01-28,1038462,Elizabeth,Luis's spot is the perfect location right near many great spots to dine and have a fun night out! Loved our stay in Austin!
953071,28008412,2015-03-16,1563136,Alberto,"Luis' place is great, large and luminous as described. He is also a great guy, very communicative and easy to deal with. We had a great stay in the most hip area of Austin (for sure) during SxSW. The only problem we found is that the apt is a bit dusty."
953071,31830293,2015-05-10,32052278,Stephanie,The place was amazing and wonderfully located. The host made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend! And stay here again as well!!
953071,33184177,2015-05-25,6879509,Kristi,"Luis was a fantastic host from the very beginning. He responded quickly to my request and was very easy to communicate with.  He met us at the apartment to give us keys and spent a while giving us recommendations on all the fantastic places to eat and drink nearby. 

The location can't be beat! There are dozens of restaurants within walking distance and the rest of downtown Austin is easily accessible. 

The apartment itself is wonderful. It was clean and very uniquely decorated. It had really excellent giant windows that let in tons of sunlight!  I would definitely stay here again. "
953071,47865484,2015-09-21,5758879,Ellie,"We had a great stay in Luis's apartment which was super spacious and even better than pictured. It was an amazing location on 6th street, easy walk from nice restaurants and bars. Luis was a great host, great communication and gave us a ton of helpful recommendations for our stay in Austin and even for other cities on our trip. Would definitely recommend for a great stay in Austin."
953071,48562689,2015-09-27,7531185,Matt,"My wife and I spent a long weekend at this wonderful loft. We had a great time and Luis made the check in and overall experience very easy. The space itself is wonderful, spacious, and exactly as advertised. Would highly recommend."
953071,49446551,2015-10-04,9644728,Anthony,"A fantastic host. My girlfriend and I were visiting Austin for ACL and Luis was gracious enough to let us stay at his awesome loft. Fantastic and friendly guy. Luis greeted us when we arrived, showed us around, and made sure we were comfortable. Gorgeous place. Very clean. The location is pretty perfect. Far enough to be quiet but still close enough to easily get to all the action. We will most likely use this place again in the future."
953071,50174769,2015-10-10,26881649,Thea,"Luis is an excellent host- very gracious and kind.  His place is just beautiful.  Incredible design, and lots of interesting artwork to look at.  The location is fantastic!  Easy walk to all the cool restaurants and bars on E 6th.  Friendly people, and unique place.  Great stay overall."
953071,50749723,2015-10-14,6488926,Brogan,"My husband and I stayed at Luis's place for 3 nights and we would highly recommend it. Such a nice, peaceful, light filled space in a really good area. Lots of good coffee spots and chilled bars within walking distance. We felt quite at home and loved the Austin style beers he left for us too. Now I just need to buy myself the gear to make my own pour over coffee after dabbling in his great set up!"
953071,51177486,2015-10-18,45074525,Haley,"Luis's studio was the perfect fit for our trip to Austin. It was spacious, bright, and modern. Luis was easy to communicate with and the listing was accurate to its description. Would recommend!"
953071,51893873,2015-10-25,948868,Laurel,"Luis was a great host. The place is in a perfect location close enough to walk to nightlife, but far enough that it's still quiet and peaceful. Loved all the cool antiques, artwork and plants too!"
953071,52202396,2015-10-26,8479461,Mathew,"Luis was super cool about accommodating us on pretty short notice, and the flat is gorgeous! He's also got a great book collection. "

281182,1002169,2012-03-15,1215492,Lydia,"Four members of our team recently stayed here during SXSW Interactive. We loved the house and the landlord's hospitality! There are 3 well sized bedrooms and the landlord made sure that we had clean sheets, towels and toiletries (shampoo, soap) available. We also had a fourth that used the couch, which he said was very comfortable. The kitchen is gorgeous and if you had the opportunity to cook it would be an ideal space for 4-5 people to have dinner. Overall the landlord was very conscientious. Not only did she make sure we had the few toiletries you would expect in a hotel, but she stocked the fridge with staples such as bread, milk, oj, and peanut butter. Since we were constantly on the move, this extra effort was much appreciated. However, even if she hadn't there was a small corner grocery less than a block away to pick up simple must haves. 

The neighborhood is a little strange. It is obvious that it is ""coming back."" The few houses surrounding ours were very nice! But there were portions of the block further down that looked a little sketchy. I feel like this will change overtime as the neighborhood continues to grow. One great example (and thanks again to the landlord for her forethought and help here) was the easy access to the metro! It is a gorgeous new train about 3 blocks away from the house (and the landlord provided us with a schedule). The only annoyance was that it did not run on Sundays which proved problematic since cabs were unwilling to come pick us up during the peak SXSW times. If you are visiting at any other time period this wouldn't be an issue. 

Overall, we loved the space and the hospitality and would use the house again if we had access to a car or they ran the train more regularly during SXSW. "
281182,3781081,2013-03-14,4589932,Kaarin,"Michelle's house was exactly what I hoped that it was. It was super clean and really cute and there was plenty of room for all of us with the three bedrooms. Getting into town was super easy using the train. Her house is just a block away from the station and it's only two stops from downtown Austin. Michelle met us there as we checked in, and she gave us a tour. She even left us the weekly paper, some Austin magazines and had written down some recommendations for great local food. I'd definitely rent from her again."
913292,3806881,2013-03-17,4389049,Michael,Cindy was more then accommodating for our stay in austin. She was very helpful in coordinating the amount of bed space needed and made sure that everyone felt at home. Looking forward to hopefully staying there again next year!
913292,10919119,2014-03-13,11128199,Kim,"Cindy went above and beyond for our stay in Austin during SXSW. This was the first year that our company decided to rent a home, and we're so glad we did. Cindy offered all the luxuries of a hotel and was extremely thoughtful--stocked the refrigerators with local food and beverage, offered adorable gifts from her company Eugenie Linens and checked in daily to see if we needed anything..and yes, even changed the sheets and put chocolates on the pillows! The home was immaculate with just enough space and privacy for seven people. Just a quick ten minute drive into downtown Austin, too! Highly recommend this home for those looking to escape the hustle of downtown and enjoy some nice, relaxing southern hospitality.

"
913292,22357647,2014-11-04,19792214,Oscar,"Our stay in Cindy's house was a lot more than we expected. The house is fully equipped, absolutely clean with large and very well distributed spaces. On the back part of the house there is a forest that gives you a very nice atmosphere. We were nine people in the house and we all felt as like being at home. 

Cindy is such a wonderful hostess. She really made our stay in her house a great experience. When we got there the fridge was full of all we needed for breakfast, ham, cheese, pickles, and snacks and our favorite beverages, wine and beers. Even she arranged for us some help to clean the house during our stay. 

On our way back to the airport, Cindy went with us taking some of our luggage in her car. As I said before, she is a very, very good hostess and we highly recommend this house for a nice experience when going to visit Austin. 

Cynthia and Oscar Salazar "
913292,22472916,2014-11-07,8021280,Stephanie,"Cindy was so welcoming and accommodating, she made our work stay in Austin a breeze from start to finish! The house is beautiful and very large and I advise you to rent a car (or you can use Uber and give very specific directions). It's in a secluded wooded area so very quiet but not too far from downtown Austin. Cindy was a fantastic host--she stocked the fridge with our requests and was on hand to give a full tour and around for any remaining questions we had during the stay. It was an easy check-in and easy check-out and a great place to stay for a work retreat. Thanks Cindy!"
913292,28375692,2015-03-23,708527,Curt Simon,"This is an amazing place. All of our delegation where absolutely happy with your house and we all had a great time. 

Conversation, Preparation and Support were as professional as friendly. Thank you so much that we were able to rent your house for SXSW."
7858150,49704971,2015-10-05,34520961,Troy,The place was super cool! I really enjoyed the nice amenities of the apartment and the proximity to everything. Thank you!
6704561,40010272,2015-07-27,38405188,Kris,"We had a wonderful stay at Sarah and Ray 's home. It was exactly what you would expect in an Austin home. Eclectic and comfortable. They even made us our own mix CD of wonderful music. The kitchen had everything you would need. Even stocked the fridge with some locally brewed beers. The beds were so comfortable!  Communication was  never a Problem, they were always available. They thought of  little details...bug spray, some fruit, even a jar of sunglasses! Lots of CD 's to play and bathroom necessities.  The neighborhood was quiet. Very close to downtown and easy jump onto 35. We would go back in a heartbeat! "
6704561,40978166,2015-08-03,38516879,Heidi,"Sarah and Ray were great. Easy communication, really accommodating (above and beyond), very clear instructions. The house was perfect and exactly as described. Would absolutely stay here again. "
6704561,42007747,2015-08-10,23738164,Justin,"Sarah & Ray were incredibly welcoming hosts. We really felt like they wanted us to love Austin as they do, and that started with their apartment. The beds were comfortable, the space was clean, there were CDs (including a custom mix for us) to listen to, coffee, and basic kitchen amenities. 

The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located right off of 35. Fifteen minutes to the airport and fifteen minutes to downtown, we thought it was pretty ideal if you have a car.

We didn't meet in person, but Sarah and Ray offered to swing by if we needed anything and were very quick to respond to all of our messages. We had a great time in Austin and part of that was due to them making a space that we felt relaxed coming back to at the end of a long day."
6704561,42900561,2015-08-16,9523909,Alejandro,"This place is in a fantastic location, near just about everything. Check-in and out was super easy and communication with Sarah and Ray was great. They replied right away whenever we had a question. Everything looks as it does in the photos. "
6704561,43281799,2015-08-18,39644953,Andrew,"This house proved to be perfect for what I needed on a recent trip to Austin. It was my first time visiting Austin so I wanted to explore as much as possible, therefore I didn't spend much time at the house but I was definitely tempted to. The vibe of this place was awesome and was right up my alley -- many music-related items (books, magazines, decor, etc) and a few brochures specific to visiting Austin (travel tips, craft beer hot spots). The house was short drive to the downtown area and half the price or less of what you'll pay there so really is an excellent option. The one drawback I can think of is I don't believe it's within walking distance to anything notable. 

Sarah and Ray were extraordinary hosts! Upon arriving I found a compilation CD they had made specifically for us that included all local Austin artists -- how awesome is that?! They also made available fresh fruit, coffee/tea, and light snacks which was greatly appreciated. Communication was impeccable throughout, making them ideal hosts. :)"
6704561,44158814,2015-08-24,15491874,Brittany,"Sarah and Ray are excellent hosts, and made my friend and I feel very welcome in Austin for our weekend stay. As other reviewers have noted, the space itself is great - stylish, inviting, comfortable, and relaxing. But much of the charm is in the details: from the mix CD they created and left for us to the snacks in the cupboard. In my opinion, the location is perfect. It's on a quiet, residential street but is also close enough to downtown/campus/the south side of Austin to get an inexpensive Lyft just about anywhere you want to go. Overall, this is a great space, hosted by wonderful people, and in the perfect spot. Don't hesitate to book! We will again as soon as we can."
6704561,46149018,2015-09-08,3198150,Mayumi,"Sarah and Ray were both very good at communicating and we really enjoyed staying at their place.  It was really nice that they had some fresh fruit and some local beer in the fridge which made us really welcome to their house. 
Everything was clean and in order.  The only thing was that they did not have a wifi setup yet but we managed with our phones.
Thank you for being a great host. "
6704561,47052643,2015-09-15,6049353,Heather,"It was perfect. Great location, very quiet, plenty of space, comfortable, I can't wait to come back! There's even a cute neighbor cat I friended, meow! Closer than I expected to everything! I feel so lucky I picked the right spot, I hope I'm back sooner than later! Thanks for the cd it was very thoughtful!"
6704561,47675023,2015-09-21,37916908,Allison,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, cute and quaint. Sarah and Ray left a nice list of things to do and see in Austin which we found very helpful. The location was awesome! Just minutes from downtown :)"
6704561,48738834,2015-09-28,40801882,Leah,"My friends and I had a great experience staying at this location. It is an easy walk to St. Edward's University, and it's located very near several great restaurants and shops, as well as having convenient access to main roads and highways. This house was clean and well-stocked with not just basics but also thoughtful extra touches like a mix CD representing the Austin music scene. The neighborhood was quiet & felt very safe, the decor was fun and charming, and the size was great for the three of us. I would definitely recommend this location!"
6704561,51302151,2015-10-19,43426838,Mary,Sarah and Ray were so welcoming to our two sons who headed to Austin to pay their brother a visit. The house was great -- comfortable for all of them. They loved the location near St. Ed's and SoCo. Thank you!
76391,200698,2011-03-16,215802,Justin,"We had a wonderful time at Michelle's house. Michelle was very accommodating and helpful with information on the area, the house itself was perfect – lots of space and very well taken care of –, and the neighborhood was great – a few cool restaurants and a bakery right down the street. I would highly recommend staying here."
76391,2912332,2012-11-19,2730941,Victor,"Let's start with the hostess, Michelle. She is very kind, thorough and easy to talk to. Please be ready to be respectful to not only her but the property. It delivers. The master bedroom and bath are A+. I'm gonna steal that comfortable bed set up idea! The house has full amenities should you need them. And although I have no kids, it's kid friendly as well. You'll be entertained by two finches in the house Popo and Pip but rest assured you'll never hear them unless you walk by them in the den. They are characters. Aside from the stunning pictures which represents the property accurately, the neighborhood is quiet but not dead! It's a cute area with an artsty feel but not hippie. Upper casual class with quaint style. There are nearby (walking) restaurants and cafe's which offer character. No chain corporate types but local merchants. Everybody is nice and you feel welcome. The location is also very accessible (by car) to downtown with Hwy 35 entry ramp less than a mile away. Downtown is 10-15 minutes. UT is like 7 minutes. 

The house is not meant for a ""party"" but it's clearly laid out to entertain friends with a glass of wine on the deck. I truly enjoyed my stay and would recommend this to anyone. I just hope the word doesn't get out too much :) 

Lastly, I feel like I made a friend with Michelle. She is classy, genuine and hospitable. Cheers!"
76391,10887320,2014-03-11,2987369,Nick,"Great house and Michelle is a very accommodating host/hostess. Lots of high end finishes, clean and comfortable. Accordion door opening up to the outdoor deck provide a great mix of indoor/outdoor living. I would definitely rent from Michelle again"
76391,28158169,2015-03-19,1562137,Michelle,I booked the house with Michelle months and month in advance due to everything getting booked up for SXSW. She was incredibly communicative and accommodating during that time and even more so when we arrived. Michelle had been kind enough to buy us goodies from Trader Joes so we could have snacks after we traveled. Her home is absolutely beautiful and comfortable - me and my team loved staying there. Michelle was also good about staying in touch during the stay in case we needed anything and told us about all the great local treats. I would highly recommend her and her gorgeous home to anyone looking for a beautiful place to stay in Austin.

5873659,37433230,2015-07-06,33848233,Paula,We checked in at the exact time and our host was flexible with check out times. Both Ali and James stayed in constant communication with us and answered all questions. The apartment is in a great location with many amenities near by. Downtown is about 10-15 minutes away and the apartment is near necessary freeways and close to shops and restaurants. Apartment has everything needed and it was cozy. 
4030108,22053688,2014-10-28,4243710,Debbie,What a pleasant experience! Katie was a wonderful hostess ... down to the special snacks & flowers there when we arrived.  The guest apartment is as pretty as the pictures depict.  We had a wonderful stay & would highly recommend to others.  Thanks Katie! We WILL return.  
4030108,22667673,2014-11-11,21786,Kristin,"This is an absolute beautiful place located in a super cute area of Austin. There are some great restaurants within walking distance that we really enjoyed.

The space itself is amazing and honestly perfect for one to two people. It feels like such a nice hideaway - a home away from home. I actually think the architecture and style are wonderful, and an inspiration for my future dream vacation home.

Katie was a really great host - finding the balance between checking in with us to make sure we could get there easily or seeing what we may need, while allowing us to have our privacy. She was super helpful with area recommendations (the salted oat cookie was delicious at the cafe down the street!) and was a great ambassador to the city of Austin itself. I hope I can stay there in the future! "
4030108,22964372,2014-11-18,23408610,Sarah,"We enjoyed our visit to Katie's very much.  The little extras she provided put the experience over the top, and made us feel very welcome and special.  The place was perfect for a weekend getaway, and gave us plenty of freedom to come and go.  I think it was such a pretty place to stay, and very comfortable.  I would definitely return!  I don't know why you'd stay at a hotel, with affordable and convenient place like Katie's to stay at.  Just lovely!"
4030108,23903377,2014-12-14,23413116,Trevor,"We rented this space for a few weeks while my mom was in town over the holidays. It was perfect for our needs of having a place she could come and go on her own and was close to our house. Here is what my mom had to say about it:

""Just spent two weeks here. Awesome experience. Friendly host and hostess, space was convenient, lots of room for me to feel at home.  More like I was staying with family.  All the essential amenities, even did some holiday baking!  Private, quiet, restorative, great walkable location for walking and easy to main streets in the car.

Will be returning. Highly recommend.""

We will ABSOLUTELY rent again the next time! "
4030108,24941574,2015-01-04,5990357,Bruce,"We spent two wonderful weeks in Katie's guest house.  It felt like home.  Katie and her family are warm and welcoming. Katie is a great host, very sweet and concerned about the welfare of her guests.  She gave us cookies on Christmas. The guest house is beautiful and comfortable.  Our adult children live in Austin and they visited and loved it.  The location in The Hyde Park neighborhood is central and perfect for visiting all of Austin.  We will definitely return. "
4030108,25355226,2015-01-13,20823913,Michael,"Beautiful place, quiet and convenient location, and Katie was a superb host.  Katie also provided a great list of area restaurants and other amenities.  I'll definitely stay any time I'm in Austin."
4030108,25606666,2015-01-20,82599,Lisa,This is the perfect little apt. Katie is an excellent host and was on standby for anything we needed.  She left great local snacks and beverages which was thoughtful.  She was flexible and worked with us on check-in and check-out.  We would definitely  stay here again when we come to Hyde Park.  
4030108,25964732,2015-01-31,25557962,Sean,"Katie was very welcoming and communicative and made our stay very pleasant. Hyde Park is a great neighborhood with restaurants and shops in close proximity. Great area! The space is bigger than it looks in photos and is super cozy, warm and nicely decorated with everything you'd ever need. The bed is very comfortable!"
4030108,26330140,2015-02-09,19006883,Janet,"Katie warmly welcomed us and made us feel at home. The unit was exactly as advertised and stocked with tasty treats. We enjoyed the neighborhood, walking four blocks to restaurants and the grocery store. Great location."

Great location.Was visiting my daughter at UT and was an easy drive to see her. Katie was very accommodating, even allowing my daughter to go into her house when they were not there to fetch some supplies for cooking. I will be back!"
4030108,26975877,2015-02-23,24280734,Stefanie,"Our stay was perfect!! The apartment was very clean, warm and welcoming as was Katie.

4030108,27091428,2015-02-25,23810856,Robert,"Katie made us feel very welcome - both before and when we arrived.  The house is lovely; it is very private and in a wonderful location in the middle of Hyde Park.   Lots of interesting restaurants and shops nearby.    The house was already stocked with goodies, for which we were very grateful.

We had a wonderful time."

4030108,27446887,2015-03-04,4411966,R Jane,"This wonderful little apartment exceeded our expectations. Even though there are great photos on the airbnb website, we were nonetheless surprised by the cleanliness and attention to detail (such as bottle of wine, Aveda products in the bathroom, dark chocolate and red apples in a bowel ) that made our stay so pleasant. Katie is a gracious host--she greeted us as warmly as family members. We had returned to Austin to handle a bit of business and have dinner with friends, but it was a messy cold couple of days; Katy's rental would have been a perfect place to hole up with a good book. Might come back some time for that very purpose. (Oh, and the bed is amazing. I could have lavished in it the entire two days!) 
"
4030108,27761860,2015-03-11,24040367,Jessica,"Katie was an amazing host! She was overly accommodating, leaving us with snacks, drinks, and a list of great restaurants. The listing was exactly as listed, if not better. The apartment is adorable and so nice and open. I liked how I never felt like I was being intrusive on their home even with the apartment being in their back yard. As far as the location goes, I don't think that could get any better either. The neighborhood is so safe and adorable. There is a coffee shop and grocery store just a short walk away. You are only minutes from downtown and the highway."
4030108,27854473,2015-03-13,28740656,Ali,"This is the cutest little place I have ever stayed at. It looks exactly like the pictures, if not better, and was very clean. Katie was so welcoming and sweet. She had snacks, coffee, and wine all waiting for us as well as a print out of some nearby attractions and a map. I felt like she really cared about making sure we had a good time. The neighborhood was amazing. Beautiful houses to look at on your way to one of the coffee shops just down the street. We really enjoyed our stay here and can't wait to come back."
4030108,28464923,2015-03-24,25960803,Madelyn,"
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely visit in Katie's charming and very clean garage apartment.  The apartment is in a lovely neighborhood and close to wonderful restaurants and shopping.  Katie provided everything needed in the bathroom, and the kitchen. Katie also welcomed us with snacks, coffees, teas, waters as well as wine and beer.  I look forward to staying here again, when I return to Austin!"
4030108,29038722,2015-04-03,11042127,Samuel,Katies' Charming Haven in Hyde Park is the perfect retreat in central Austin and/or a great base to explore the city. It's an absolutely lovely space and Katie is the perfect host. We can't recommend it high enough.  
4030108,29911469,2015-04-14,26950614,Kimberly,"Though Katie’s place looked pretty perfect on this listing, it was even better than we expected. Very clean, beautifully decorated, tons of daylight, private and cozy (the bed was soooo comfortable!). The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and Katie a totally respectful and attentive host. She communicated promptly and with clear answers before we arrived and made herself available if we had any questions while staying there. We will absolutely stay here again and can’t recommend this sweet little place enough!"
4030108,30443674,2015-04-22,1379747,Pat,"Katie's charming haven is just that!  Great design, lovely furnishings, soothing colors in a clean, light, airy space, perfect for a couple!  Added charm was a bookcase in the bedroom nook filled with interesting titles.  We made good use of the picnic table and lawn for quiet conversation or contemplation.  There is ample street parking in front of the house.  The neighborhood is gorgeous.  We explored it daily and never stopped discovering new wonders.  Katie was very accommodating and responded promptly to all of our questions and needs.  And, upon our arrival, we were welcomed with freshly ground coffee, a bottle of wine and some yummy snacks.  We're heading straight back to Katie's place next time we're in Austin."
4030108,30859087,2015-04-28,7531361,Hollie,"This is a cozy little apartment. It is nestled in a great neighborhood. Katie made us feel so welcome by leaving some printed suggestions for some great places to go within walking distance. The apartment has all you will need to enjoy your stay in Austin! Bedding was comfortable, bathroom was clean and furnished as well as the kitchen area. You will be able to rest easy here. "
4030108,31125257,2015-05-02,30940747,Margret,My work trip was infinitely more enjoyable since I stayed at this lovely apt in Hyde Park. The house was exactly as pictured and very roomy and comfortable. The location was perfect as I mostly needed to be near downtown. I will definitely hope to stay there again. Thank you Katie for such a wonderful stay:)
4030108,31447065,2015-05-05,131323,Katherine,"We had a wonderful stay at Katie's studio apartment. The place looks exactly as it does in the photos! It was beautifully designed, clean, and thoughtfully put together. All the furniture pieces were in great condition, and we loved the mattress! We couldn't have asked for anything more. Katie was very easy to get a hold of when we needed something and was friendly and welcoming. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Austin. "
4030108,31934743,2015-05-12,19704128,Melissa,My friend and I visited Austin last week and the stay at Katie's house was delightful. There is a queen bed and a pull-out couch which works well for two people. The kitchen is small but suited our needs perfectly since you can't go wrong eating out in Austin. The house is nicely furnished and Katie left detailed instructions. She met us at the house the first day but we really didn't have much interaction after that since the cottage is detached from the house. The neighborhood is cute and quiet but close enough to downtown and the airport to make it convenient for everywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again.
4030108,32473871,2015-05-18,29344816,Michelle,This is the perfect get away in Austin!! It was minutes from downtown without all the hustle and bustle! Quiet-comfy-cozy!!! Could of not asked for a better place or host! Thanks Katie
4030108,33066198,2015-05-25,14404526,Gil,"We had a great experience in theis historic Hyde Park neighborhood. The cozy space was perfect for 2 people and can accommodate 3 nicely if needed. We love the commercial district just blocks away with a wonderful bakery, bars, vegetarian and Italian restaurants and a little grocery store. A wonderful glass shop is just around the corner. Great neighborhood for walking except sidewalks can be discontinuous! A very nice alternative to the hustle and bustle which by the way is not too far away. Our hosts allowed us our privacy but were accessible when needed. We would have liked to stay longer than the 5 nights we did and would stay here again."
4030108,33455861,2015-05-28,32501374,Kaye,We had a wonderful stay.  The apartment is lovely and Katie is a warm and welcoming host.  
4030108,33906275,2015-06-02,16473842,Dan And Mike,I loved this space! Spent five nights while in Austin for a conference. Located in  a quiet neighborhood that seems miles away from a city but is in the heart of Austin. Very clean and very comfortable. Easy street parking. Great kitchen and nice shower/bathtub. The host is amazing. I highly recommend this spot for anyone traveling to Austin. 
4030108,34312216,2015-06-07,32001630,Lisa,"I brought my folks into town for my son's graduation and they had a wonderful stay at Katie's apartment.  Clean, private and charming in a great location - they let me know how much they loved it many times.  They definitely want to come back!  I appreciated the thoughtfulness in the snacks and drinks Katie left for them to use and the effort to greet them upon arrival.  Very nice!  Thanks for making this visit the best ever!"
4030108,35386915,2015-06-18,18810097,Marsha,"Katie's place in Hyde Park was perfect!  It is clean, comfortable, well-decorated, charming and cool ( critical in Austin in June!).  The location, in beautiful Hyde Park, within a few blocks of Quack's bakery, is awesome. 
Katie made us feel welcome by leaving us coffee, chocolate, snacks, water, sparkling water and a bottle of wine. She took the time to introduce herself and showed interest as to whether we were comfortable or needed anything. 

We were delighted that there was a big screen TV so we could watch the NBA finals. 

I would recommend Katie's charming haven wholeheartedly. 
"
4030108,35590849,2015-06-20,32451335,Janice,"The place was great, well put together with charming little touches. Katie was super nice, very welcoming and gave great tips on what to see and do in the neighbourhood."
4030108,36180475,2015-06-26,31663930,Lisa,"Wow!  I loved this studio apartment in this quaint Austin neighborhood.  It was so cozy and quiet with lots of nice unexpected extras.  Katie's list of recommendation for dining and grocery shopping were excellent and very much appreciated.  I would definitely recommend her accommodations and will look her up again whenever my travels take me through Austin.  LOVE the salsa, Katie!!"
4030108,36574231,2015-06-29,14537909,Samuel,My daughter and I spent the weekend in Austin.   Katie's place is awesome and has everything you could need!  It's located on a great area.  I'd definitely stay again if my travels take me back to Austin! 
4030108,37338218,2015-07-06,34683180,Barbara,"Katie was a charming and welcoming host. The location was convenient to everything in Austin; the apartment itself was spacious, private, and filled with extra amenities such as wine, chips & salsa, mineral water & chocolate!! We loved the privacy and serenity, but also the opportunity to chat with Katie about her family as well as Austin eateries and activities. The Hyde Park neighborhood is unique, interesting, and a pleasant area in which to stroll around. We plan on returning and highly recommend. "
4030108,40044489,2015-07-27,30374930,Evalee,"Charming haven was just as adorable as shown in the pictures. Located behind the main house, it was neat as a pin and full of character. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely and we enjoyed just strolling around in it. Close enough for us to walk to restaurants, but away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Katie was a wonderful host; quick to address all our needs and questions, yet gave us the privacy of a hidden getaway. She had touches in the cottage that added to the experience such as local coffee, chips and salsa, and wine. Truly a special place. Thank you for sharing your little gem with us, Katie."
4030108,41106373,2015-08-04,3636300,Christie,"I thoroughly enjoyed my recent stay in Hyde Park much in part to Katie. The place was beyond adorable and very clean. Katie was a fantastic host and very responsive when we had an air conditioning malfunction the first night. A repairman was called right away and the issue was fixed immediately. She was so apologetic and incredibly gracious about it all. If I make it back to Austin to visit (and not must move there... I was that in love with it), I would absolutely stay there again without hesitation. Thank you Katie for such a wonderful cozy little haven to stay in and for such hospitality. "
4030108,41406872,2015-08-07,11042127,Samuel,This is the second time we've stayed in Katie's wonderful apt. and our experience was just as perfect as the first time.  Ideal location and truly wonderful hosts.  Highly recommended! 
4030108,43167896,2015-08-17,40993907,Eddie,"We had a terrific time in Austin and our host, Katie, was terrific.  We would definitely stay with Katie again.  Thank you so much!"
4030108,44150140,2015-08-24,38494333,Paul,"Just got back from a wonderful trip to Austin.  Katie was the perfect host!  She greeted me upon arrival, gave me a quick tour of the place, and left me to my own devices, but, not before providing me with an extensive list of recommendations on places to go/eat/do in Austin…which were all spot on, especially some of the local, Hyde Park, neighborhood hangouts!  Katie’s location in Hyde Park is perfect…quiet, residential, centrally located, and easy walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, pubs and grocery stores.
Her place is immaculate and just as advertised…even better than advertised.  I felt right at home. Her attention to detail is amazing. Even the little things…like leaving the front picket gate open for me. Talk about feeling welcome! Oh, and the bed! I actually slept better there than I do in my own bed at home! That might be a first!
All in all, a great trip and made even more special thanks to the awesome accommodations and thoughtfulness of my host.  I definitely look forward to staying at Katie’s place on my next visit to Austin!
"
4030108,46872019,2015-09-14,35553613,Marlies,"Very clean, great guesthouse, Katie is very nice and helps you with everything!"
4030108,47687219,2015-09-21,26335610,Valerie,"Katie's garage apartment is very clean, tastefully appointed, and comfortable. The photos accurately depict what you can expect. The bed is super comfy! The kitchen is small but has all the basic equipment you'd need, and several grocery stores are nearby. The apartment is in a very convenient location for accessing other parts of town, there are restaurants and shops within walking distance, but it's in a quiet residential area. 

One thing to note: you must go up a flight of stairs (it's an apartment above a garage), so it's not wheelchair accessible. 

Katie was very responsive to messages and easily accommodated a request or two. My stay was only two nights, but I wish it had been longer. "
4030108,48528922,2015-09-27,34683180,Barbara,"Staying at Katie's Haven is always a joy. This was our second stay here and it was as memorable as our first. Katie is always available but unobtrusive. The apartment is quiet, private, and stocked with amenities such as wine, chocolate, and local coffee. We'll be back!"
4030108,49619786,2015-10-05,8640090,Amber,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Katie's Charming Haven for ACL weekend. It was a peaceful getaway from the sunny, loud, and crowded festival activities. Everything is as it's pictured and described on the listing. We greatly enjoyed the little extra amenities, such as the french press coffee and dark chocolate bar. When I travel to Austin again in the future, Katie's place will be at the top of my list. "
4030108,50232377,2015-10-10,6167172,Nick,Great place!  This is actually one of the only times I have left a 5 star review!!
4030108,50631024,2015-10-13,760772,Mayna,"Katie's carriage house is a gorgeous space - very comfortable, fully equipped, in a quiet well-located neighbourhood.  Katie was easy to coordinate with and very accommodating of my changing check in plans."
4030108,51289982,2015-10-19,4388977,Bardia,"Great Location!  We rented a car and everything was a 10-min drive or less (Hiking, Downtown, Mt. Bonnell, etc.)  The place was very clean and Katie was very considerate.  Stocked the kitchen with quality products and left us detailed directions on how to navigate the guest house and get around.  Highly recommend if you're looking to explore Austin and get a good night's rest."
4030108,52214556,2015-10-27,19161095,Janet,Katie was an incredible hostess and went out of her way to make sure that we had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay at her charming haven. And that it was...charming! We love the Hyde Park area of Austin and hope to make this our apt our home away from home the next time that we visit our daughter who lives here. 
2050574,11017450,2014-03-17,11103397,Chris,"Erica was great to deal with. a true professional.

lean, clean communication and achievement of everyones objective.

perfect for the business traveller.

"
2050574,13061832,2014-05-19,3509015,Cassandra,"Our experience here was great, the house was beautiful and well stocked.  I would definitely book here again and the host was very attentive in getting us all our check in details well in advance.  Great stay!"
2050574,13649728,2014-06-02,1675867,Jessica,"Beautiful home in amazing location! $15 dollar cab ride to downtown for evening festivities.

The home was clean and ready for us when we arrived. We did have one issue with the garbage disposal and dishwasher but once I called to let them know of the issue they had someone to the house to fix it within 30 minutes!

Thanks for a great stay in your home."
2050574,14676091,2014-06-24,1132515,Rick,"The host could not have been more accommodating and considerate. Everything went smoothly, from the check-in to a lovely late check-out. The house is a showplace, the pool is exquisite (saltwater as I recall), and the architecture is breathtaking.

It's the kind of place you can entertain in with style. You may want to tell your friends to leave their high heels at home, as the spiral staircase and rock floors can be a trifle difficult to navigate. 

The neighborhood is among the nicest and ritziest in Austin. It's seriously a gorgeous house and I hope to stay here again.

"
2050574,22235368,2014-11-02,2744399,Allison,"Our stay in Austin was exactly what we were looking for. The house was exactly as advertised. It was a wonderful location and we enjoyed our time there! Erica made sure we were taken care of and had quick responses to any questions we had prior, during, and after our stay.  "
2050574,28420394,2015-03-23,28639340,Kip,"This house was incredible!  We rented it for a guys' vacation over SXSW music weekend.  This place was much less expensive than other large houses near the city center.  

To our surprise, the house was even better than the pictures could convey.  It has an arboretum atrium in the center with a crow's nest you can go sit on that looks over the entire neighborhood.  Such incredible design!  Also very roomy for 10 people - plenty of beds and they even had air mattresses in a storage closet.  Great neighborhood to boot - very upscale area of the city.  I would definitely recommend this house for a large group.  

Also, the property management company was easy to work with and high-tech. "
2050574,31286988,2015-05-04,9483795,Meghan,"The home was great and those at Turnkey Rental were quick to reply. The 10 checkout is tough however for those staying for a weekend especially with a large group. They did allow us to depart at 2 and leave our stuff while cleaners were there but logistically with ten people it was hard and you're essentially paying for another day that you don't get to use. 

That being said the home was exactly as pictured and the hosts were clear with instructions and available for any questions. The pool is wonderful but could use 1-2 more chairs given the size of the house. 

Overall I would rent this property again and would recommend it to others!"
2050574,33976075,2015-06-02,1728907,Geri,The host canceled this reservation 128 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2050574,34907570,2015-06-13,26217806,Jonathan,Amazing house in a great area. 
2050574,41929836,2015-08-10,6305958,Ricardo,"This trip is an annual gathering of six friends. We always rent a home as we take turns cooking rather elaborate meals for each other. Shortly after arriving at the home (gorgeous home; great location), we realized the dishwasher didn't work. (It clearly hadn't worked for a while; disassembled dishwasher parts were stored inside the machine.) Not a major issue as the kitchen had two sinks and we could hand wash pots, pans, dishes, etc. 

However, the disposals in neither sink worked. The sinks were clogged and nearly overflowed every time we turned on the water to wash dishes. Therefore we could only wash a few dishes at a time before we had to stop washing to let the water slowly drain. 

Repairmen came both Friday and Saturday, after we called management, and neither could repair either sink or the dishwasher.  

By Saturday lunch, the stench of the dirty dishwater was pretty overwhelming. And being able to wash only a few dishes at a time was a pain. By Saturday night we gave up and went out for dinner.  We went out for breakfast Sunday, as well, despite having all of the ingredients to cook on hand. 

The home was stunning, clean and in a great location. It was a disappointment, however, to not be able to entertain there as planned. We thought you should be aware of this issue and would appreciate a response. Thanks. "
4803764,29814816,2015-04-13,25628797,Kelli,The listing description was perfect. The home was better than I expected from the photos. Nice large rooms & bathrooms. The perfect home for a ladies get-away weekend!
4803764,30381769,2015-04-21,27072225,Adam,"Amazing time, house was spotless and layout was perfect for our needs. Extremely pleased we were not ""checked in on"" throughout our stay. The Johnny Mnemonic pinball machine was the icing on the cake! Would definitely work with TurnKey again!"
4803764,30772633,2015-04-27,3759104,Jessica,"If you are going to Austin with a large group of people, 100% stay here in this gorgeous home. It is spacious, clean, and even better than the pictures. In a quiet neighborhood right down the street from downtown, we THOROUGHLY enjoyed our experience. About $14 Uber from the airport and $6 Uber to downtown, getting around the city was no problem. The house is kept lock by a key pad which is great considering we didn't have to stress about the keys. The beds are more comfortable than my bed at home. The bathrooms were ideal with large mirrors. Overall, I highly recommend staying here. I also suggest to other groups to rent a car and check out Hamilton pool about 30 mins away, worth the trip! "
4803764,31909800,2015-05-11,21802846,Emmelene,"This was a nice location, within walking distance to the river and bars/restaurants along Cesar Chavez. We also took an Uber to Rainy St and the dirty 6th, and neither trip took long at all. The place was clean on arrival and fit the 9 of us comfortably. We were able to hang out in the kitchen/living space as well as the outdoor porch/patio. The only issue we had was the wifi. We ended up not having any wifi the entire weekend we were there. The turnkey company attempted to contact the owners of the home and try to fix the problem, but nothing ever happened. They did try to let us use the wifi access from the house next door which they also owned, but they never gave us the correct password, and couldn't figure it out. Was disappointing, but even then we had a comfortable stay. "
4803764,41921303,2015-08-10,9230270,Chelsea,"Overall very enjoyable stay! The house was described accurately and was comfortable for 8 people. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were super spacious. Perfect place for a girls weekend, the house had everything we needed. Short uber ride downtown and to anything we wanted to do."

5511535,30249553,2015-04-19,11569890,Sean,Very nice place to stay. Good location and plenty of activities nearby. Dyanna was easy to work with and responsive to our questions prior to and during our stay. The pictures and descriptions are accurate.

5511535,33194988,2015-05-25,33521746,Katie,"We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was perfect for us, it was less than 15 minutes from every place we wanted to go the entire weekend. The complex is quite, the condo is inviting and felt like home and Dyanna was very thoughtful and checked in with us periodically throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well! We couldn't be happier with the trip!"
5511535,37178447,2015-07-05,34319334,Eza,I stayed at this place for 39 nights on business. The listing description is accurate with exception cable tv was broken throughout my stay. Dyanna has been very responsive to my questions. She is also very helpful in making my stay there so pleasant. Will definitely stay at this place again when I'm back to Austin.
5511535,37926742,2015-07-11,4182729,Brenda,"Our experience with  Dyanna and her place was spectacular!  I was looking late at night for a next day trip and she responded right back and made accommodating us easy for such a short notice.  She was so sweet to work with us, left us a goodie basket for our arrival, and a guidebook of all the great spots. Her place was adorable... equipped with everything we needed.... from coffee to a full kitchen and even shopping bags for the store. I loved the big fluffy towels and the washer and dryer.  We really liked that it is located in a gated community with a pool. Nice neighborhood and everything we wanted was so close or within a 15 min drive at the most. It was perfect for my husband and I... even when our daughter came for a few nights.  Dyanna was available by text for any questions and a perfect hostess.  We will definitely return to this beautiful home and impeccable hostess.  Thank you so much!  We had a ball in Austin.   Cool note... The Famous Broken Spoke is right around the corner to do some drinking and dancing and see some awesome talent with no long cab fare home!"
5511535,38960637,2015-07-19,2362183,Jessi,"A great stay! We had a very bumpy start to our vacation plans and Dyanna's kindness, communicativeness, and flexibility made our (Very, very late!) arrival entirely stress-free! Her space is immaculate, comfortable, and extremely well-located. We loved everything about it, and we look forward to booking her again!"
5511535,39887845,2015-07-26,17636223,Ragged,This was a great place to stay while exploring Austin. The apartment was clean and quiet.  downtown was only a few minutes away. We enjoyed great food and music and met a lot of nice people.

5511535,43862293,2015-08-22,1914535,Carrie,"Dyanna was a great host – when I arrived in Austin, my original plans had fallen through and I needed a place to stay ASAP. I hopped on airbnb at around 7pm and by 9pm the same evening I was in the flat. Dyanna's quick response saved the day! The condo is lovely, clean, and quiet. It has everything you need for a longer stay (I was there just over a week), including a pool. And it is a short drive to most of the main attractions of Austin, and there are some nice places to eat within walking distance too. I had a relaxing and restful time. Highly recommended. "
5511535,48812038,2015-09-28,44527150,Jenn,Dyanna was awesome and the place was perfect! The location is amazing minutes to downtown and tons of yummy places to eat near by. We would stay again in a heartbeat!
5511535,49587461,2015-10-05,488678,Sarah,Dyanna's place was clean and comfortable. The location of this condo is great! It's in the middle of great eats and everything is easy to walk to. We stayed during ACL and were able to hop on the bus straight to Barton Springs Rd which was so convenient! The complex is quiet and lovely. 
5511535,51227601,2015-10-18,2744663,Claire,Dyanna's condo was a gem of a place! It was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I while visiting Austin. We discovered the best coffee shop just down the street called Patika. I recommend staying here on your trip to Austin. I do recommend that you have a car when visiting Austin since the neighborhoods are pretty spread out. 
5511535,51865923,2015-10-24,1448692,Katie,"Dyanna's place is cozy, stylish, and comfortable (I slept so well!) in a fabulous location for getting to South Lamar, South Congress, and downtown Austin. 10-minute drive pretty much anywhere I wanted to go. Dyanna herself was friendly and communicative, quickly responding and fixing the problem when the bedroom light went out and smoke alarm started beeping. She was also extremely accommodating when, at the last minute, I needed to book an extra night because of the recent storms. The space is perfect for an individual or a couple. I'd definitely recommend it!"

Dave is very accommodating, keeps an exceptionally clean house and had some really nice touches like fresh fruit, water and tea in the room. I couldn't recommend the place or Dave himself more highly.  Go, stay, have a blast!"
4475388,28540958,2015-03-25,4077817,Sean,"Staying at Dave's place was a great experience. He was extremely easy to get along with and I shared a lot in common with him. He even was nice enough to cook a healthy meal and had some great life stories to share. The place is near the busline, grocery store and on the car2go Area."

Barely got to see Dave because of all the running around I had to do for work but he made sure I had everything I needed. Would rent this listing again if I find myself needing a place in Austin. 
4475388,47761521,2015-09-21,10263653,Nico,"I had a great stay at Dave's place. The room is big and comfortable with AC, and I shared the place with a friendly couple of musicians too. I got to speak with  Dave a few times and he was really cool and inmediatly got good recommendations for my stay in Austin."

It was great to be able to use the kitchen and hang out in the living room. Dave keeps the house a very comfortable temperature even on the very hot days. The neighborhood is great with easy access to grocery and highway/freeway. I will definitely choose to stay again if available next time I'm in Austin.
4475388,49262265,2015-10-02,43897206,Rachel,This experience was amazing. The place had an amazing enviorment that just allowed me to relax. Dave was an awesome host who was always there to help.

4475388,51562628,2015-10-21,43897206,Rachel,I never can complain when there is wine waiting for me when I get there! Dave makes the environment extremely relaxing and inspiring. The neighborhood is tucked away in S. Austin and it is a very friendly area. You will receive a very humbling experience here. 
4475388,52104590,2015-10-26,7730977,Shyam,Dave's place was cozy and nice to stay in. Dave was one of most welcoming and nice Airbnb hosts I've met so far. Getting to his place wasn't hard and Dave was always reachable/super friendly and available with suggestions and assistance. I even got to listen to him practice and that was a joy and surely a highlight of my trip.
4475388,52473474,2015-10-29,21109733,Rachel,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5272108,28087228,2015-03-17,1242387,Jackson,We had a great experienice. Kim was very friendly and communicative. The home was very nice and neat.
5306654,30793882,2015-04-27,30019165,Andrew,Shelley's place was great! She was so nice and was very accommodating. I don't think we could have picked a better place to stay in Austin. It was so close to everything we wanted to do. The BBQ place on the corner of the block was one of the best surprises. 
5306654,35169446,2015-06-15,1326901,Cassie,We had a great time staying in Shelley's loft. The location was great... the neighborhood is super cute and located near a bunch of great places. As a plus she has a very warm and friendly cat! The apartment was very clean and she was a wonderful host and kept great communication with us.
5306654,42006731,2015-08-10,36786708,Tyler,We absolutely loved staying at Shelley's loft in Austin she was a great host and was very welcoming. This was my first airbnb experience and it could not have been better. 
5306654,46166124,2015-09-08,40607441,Ashlee,"Shelley's place was the cutest! Her cat Sebastian welcomed us each time we walked through the door with his sweet little self and his charming purring. Shelley's place was well kept, clean and a great distance from everything you want to do. It is right outside of an area to rent bikes and the coffee place down the street had excellent lattes. We enjoyed our time in Austin and would highly recommend Shelley's loft to anyone looking for a nice and relaxing place to escape. We loved the large windows! Shelley was easy to get ahold of and quick to respond to any questions or messages written to her. Overall a wonderful experience and we are thankful!"
5306654,49783586,2015-10-06,11462859,Cecilia,"Shelley's place is just as the pictures, very beautiful, artsy and clean! It's a couple of blocks from cafes and bars, and walking distance from the famous ""weird"" 6th street (not too close but it's def a doable walk), where there's a lot of bars to choose from if you want to go out for the night. We got to meet Shelley when we got there, she is so nice and suggested places to go. She even welcomed to take her cat if he got in the way, but Sebastian is so calm, it was nice to have him around. I would definitely stay here again! "
5306654,51448613,2015-10-20,8186756,Veronica,"Shelley's home was great! The decor and large windows made the space feel very welcoming. We loved having her cat there for company too. He was very sweet. The location is great. We used uber to go downtown, soco, and Rainey st and it was never more than $7. Since it is right on 6th street, you can walk to downtown and check out all the bars and food trucks on the way! 

Shelley was very nice and quick to respond. She also had a large booklet with recommendations with things to do in Austin.

*Shelley's home is at an intersection and next to railroad tracks. Sometimes it can get a little loud. This only seemed to be an issue for me after a late night down on sixth st lol. 

Overall great place to stay in a great location.!"
5306654,52236973,2015-10-27,12233769,Adley,"Great location! The loft is clean and well furnished, perfect for exploring East Sixth and any other parts of Austin.

Communication with Shelley was really easy and she was very accommodating. Will definitely consider Shelley's place whenever we have other guests visit us in ATX!"
823839,3760153,2013-03-12,3603393,Grant,"I had a wonderful welcome after a long flight, with several glasses of fine Texan red and a great chat with D'Ann, who is a wonderful and engaging hostess. The location is good for SXSW - about a 20 minute walk from the action of 6th street and the Convention Centre and there are a couple of great places to eat nearby - Hillside Farmacy and The Blue Dahlia Cafe. Thanks D'Ann!"
823839,10900218,2014-03-12,2510022,Flo,"d ann is just wonderful. best host i ever had, place is just perfect for sxsw, east side and walking distance to convention center. had a great time, thanks to d ann. "
823839,11003386,2014-03-17,215295,Emmanuel,"The historical house is absolutely beautiful, nicely decorated and full of period details. And D'Ann is a wonderful host full of attentions. I hope to book the room again."
823839,22620047,2014-11-10,23127531,Serena,"Lovely home, still retaining the old fashioned vibe which made it feel like we were miles away from our daily lives. Lots of good restaurants nearby too."
823839,28160172,2015-03-19,741817,Eamonn,"D'Ann's house is amazing. It's one of the most characterful places I've ever had the good luck to stay. It's really close to central Austin - just a few blocks from the bars, clubs and more of 6th Street, a 15/20 min walk to the Convention Centre (if you're in town for SXSW or something else) and really close to a bunch of other historical sites (the Texas National Cemetary, the Capitol and more). Plus, for fans of BBQ, 11th St is the home of Austin's most celebrated BBQ, Franklins - just a five minute walk from the house. 

The room itself is great. The bed was really comfortable. There was tons of space. The area - though close to all of the fun of downtown - was really quiet at night. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and really enjoyed having a beer with D'Ann - who really helped me get oriented in Austin and gave me some great history on the house and the city. 

If you're in town for any reason, you should stay here. ;)"
823839,28393516,2015-03-23,27120895,Ben,"Great host, great house. D'Ann was extremely nice and accommodating, and this room is gorgeous (as is the whole house).

The location is great for all of the cool restaurants/bars/music venues on the East Side, which is where I spend a lot of time during South by Southwest.

Definitely recommending this to friends!"
823839,48824104,2015-09-28,44777405,Katherine,"This was a great place to stay. Loved the historical charm of the property. D'Ann was there to greet us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the house and some history. We stayed in Kate's room, which was perfect because it had it's own full bathroom, plus access to the 2nd floor balcony, porch swing, and hammock. Kate's room does have an adjoining room, but nobody stayed in that space while we were there. Beautiful spiral staircase, fine for us, but a little steep for some I would think. It was our anniversary, and she provided us with a bottle of champagne, which was really sweet! She had great directions and recommendations for the area. Location was good, many things were walk-able, but far enough away from bars so it wasn't loud. Cabs to and from downtown, congress st, etc were affordable. I thought the price was a little high, considering only light continental breakfast options were available.  Off street parking was available, as well. "
823839,50487892,2015-10-12,9451420,Jesse,D'Ann was  a great host.  The house was exactly the way the pics show.  The room and bathrooms were clean and was exactly what we needed to explore Austin and have a place to sleep at night. The house is in a good location with many places to eat just blocks away and B-cycle bike stations are close by.  The Quickie Pickie is a café/store a short walk to by food and beverages.  Plenty of trailer food stands and restaurants in a 5 min walk.  Take advantage of B-cycle bike stations.  We paid $15 for a weekend bike pass and rode all over Austin.  
5521930,28040376,2015-03-16,5694260,Nick,"Trevor was a responsive, helpful, and gracious host. The apartment was as advertised in his listing and provided me with a great place to stay in a convenient location. Would definitely recommend to others! "
6311988,49714335,2015-10-05,37271248,McCayla,"Elizabeth was a wonderful host! She got in contact with us immediately and was BEYOND helpful with any questions or concerns we had. She met us at the house upon arrival, showed us around the house, and gave directions and suggestions for the area. The house was very clean and had a cool little outside patio and spot to hang out and relax. Her house has a great location and is close by Austin's main spots! Highly recommend! "
6311988,50308883,2015-10-11,33789593,Raymond,Ocean house was the  exactly what we were missing to make our trip perfect! And Elizabeth wad super  helpful  with all our needs!
6198247,33752629,2015-05-31,34113962,Chava,Good location in East Austin. Room had a private entrance and an A/c unit. Luis was very flexible with our check in/check out times 
6198247,37259850,2015-07-05,37189041,Jose Arturo,"The host says flexible check-in hours but he means flexible for himself. We arrived at the agreed time and were asked to wait for over an hour to check in. I guess that he was cleaning, but his room still smelled weird. He left a key for us outside and told us where. He also told us (after check in)to bring our own paper plates and cups if we wanted to use the kitchen because it was ""a mess,"" and he wasn't lying. There were roaches in the kitchen and bathroom. He asked us not to tell his roommates about us staying there, as he hadn't told them that he was using his room in a shared house to run an air bnb. To be honest, the only good thing about this place was the location. I would probably not recommend anyone stay here unless they can leave everything in their car and only plan to sleep here."
8539519,49392065,2015-10-03,8310619,New,Great room with a clean and comfortable bed. Perfect accommodation for one or two people. Kind and generous host. 
8539519,49739730,2015-10-05,33238700,Louis,"Host was very accessible and flexible with our last minute arrival. Very friendly and welcoming. We were only in during the morning and made it home to sleep but we never felt uncomfortable and we were very happy to have a clean, friendly place to sleep! It was my cousin's first experience with AirBNB and she was very happy and said she'd recommend the service thanks to her friends. Overall, very thankful and definitely hope to use again next time I'm in Austin!"
8539519,50531775,2015-10-12,45107792,Kenji,Great room! The house and hosts were all very nice and everyone kept to themselves. The location is honestly very convenient. 
8539519,51379697,2015-10-19,46169563,Andrew,"Marisol was away for the weekend, so her roommates hosted me. They were not very familiar with the neighborhood, having recently moved in, but were quite friendly. The house is sparsely furnished but has all the essentials."
5414562,37253510,2015-07-05,37087917,Natalia,"Brandon was a great host. This was my first time using Airbnb and he made me and my friends feel welcomed, safe, and at home. The location is wonderful, pretty much everything was a short drive or walk away. He made some good suggestions of place to go and things to see, he was easy to communicate with and  was always available.  "
4329829,28080246,2015-03-17,18266098,Theo,"Luc was a great host and the house is excellent, I highly would recommend him to any friends or family! "

4329829,31934265,2015-05-12,27109620,Mike,"Luc was a great host. He made it really easy to get access to the house. As far as the house itself, it's a brand new house in a new neighborhood development. Very clean and comfortable. It's not that near the downtown area, but it's easy to get to. "
4329829,33228064,2015-05-26,27618749,John,Nice and comfortable place. Very roomy. Big fenced in backyard. Large kitchen table. Location isnt far from downtown area. Quiet neighborhood.

4329829,47011081,2015-09-14,34868379,Cesar,"We enjoyed our stay at Luc's house, it was very clean, comfortable and exactly as described in AirBnB. I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone interested in visiting Austin without wanting to stay in the city center."
4329829,49762993,2015-10-06,33991410,John,"We enjoyed our stay at Luc's house. It was easy to get a hold of him when needed, and check in/out also very easy. The house was about 10 minutes from the airport, 15-20 from downtown in new development area. Large, clean house more than accommodated the 4 of us who stayed there. "

4224760,52077846,2015-10-26,23483463,Yoshi,"Saurabh's place was perfect amazing. It was extremely clean, quiet, and close to a great number of things to do in Austin (very short Uber ride to downtown, right next to the ACL park). His directions to get to his place and inside were very friendly and clear. Unfortunately I never met Saurabh in person, but he was always willing to help with anything I needed."

4121762,21181532,2014-10-12,21663918,Kyle,"Place was great, the pictures are accurate.  Beds are comfy, everything was clean.  A five minute Uber or Taxi ride to downtown or Zilker, very convenient.  Mary even let us check out a little late on Sunday because ACL didn't start until after check out time."
4121762,21528440,2014-10-19,8353432,Lynda,"Cute house in a very good location.  Mary left bottled water and coffee for us, which is really appreciated -- usually rentals come with nothing in the kitchen.  House has been renovated very well; lots of privacy and comfortable furniture and beds.  Will definitely stay with Mary again when we return to Austin.  "
4121762,21858479,2014-10-25,7124812,Elizabeth,"Always a pleasure renting from Mary!  Her properties (and this one was no exception) are always thoughtfully well-stocked, comfy, and extremely pretty to look at.  This is a great location, convenient to both downtown and SoCo."
4121762,22308227,2014-11-03,6428364,Jill,"We really enjoyed our stay at Mary's house, perfectly situated for Formula one and visiting daughter at UT.  The house was supplied with the basics, which was all we needed.  Mary was was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. "

4121762,23179452,2014-11-24,10039493,Elaine,Mary's home was very comfortable and spacious for a two bedroom. Everything was immaculate and we would definitely stay with Mary again in Austin! We also rented the larger house next door to accomodate our large group. 
4121762,23702924,2014-12-08,23705914,Julie,"This two bedroom cottage is in the ecletric Galindo neighborhood and was just what we were looking for. It's spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and quite large, but we did not cook- too many great places to eat in Austin. You can walk to Summermoon coffee shop and also have a spectacular downtown view at the top of this block. Soap and shampoo provided by host. Very clean and plenty of fresh towels. There is a collection of games and even children's books. Would definitely stay here again. "
4121762,23910293,2014-12-14,15733370,Patrik,Lovely place and the location is awesome. Nothing but good feelings. 
4121762,24712828,2015-01-02,6507026,Dale,"I stayed at Mary's for eleven nights over Christmas and New Years.  It worked out beautifully as I was able to have my grandchildren with me most of the time.  The location was perfect for what I needed and the neighbors that I saw were friendly.  Mary even left Christmas decorations so the kids and I could decorate the ""Christmas tree"" outside the house.  The house was comfortable and had everything we needed."
4121762,24994512,2015-01-04,25359837,Amy,"Mary was prompt to respond. We loved the house and our stay. Everything was clean and comfortable. It's a nice and also quiet neighborhood, close to great restaurants and shopping. "

4121762,26017944,2015-02-01,2739711,Paige,"We had a wonderful time in Mary's adorable apartment. The place had plenty of room to relax and visit, and if the weather had been better we would have enjoyed sitting out on the porch. Mary provided everything we needed. The  place was utterly charming and beautifully designed and decorated. We loved the books and games on the shelf, and wish we had had more time to complete the Charley Harper puzzle we started.

The location was great, especially if you have a car. Lots of great food options close by.
 
We had a small problem when we arrived, but Mary took care of it immediately and thoroughly. You will enjoy this place.
"
4121762,26193220,2015-02-06,5369158,Colin,"Mary is an exceptional host – professional, friendly, and prompt. We rented this house from her for a full week as a home base for two of our employees so they could get a more authentic Austin experience. 

Spotless home, comfortable beds, and plenty of room to relax after a long work day. We'll be back!"
4121762,26251632,2015-02-08,5099639,Sarah Grey,"I spent a weekend here with three friends, and we had a great experience. Mary was responsive to my questions the week prior to our arrival, and she allowed us to drop our bags off at the house prior to the check in time so that we didn't have to carry them around town. The house was adorable and everything was neat and clean when we arrived. The location was great for us. We walked to the restaurants and shops on South 1st and South Congress. For anything further, we were able to take an Uber for $5-8. I would definitely stay here again."
4121762,26473447,2015-02-13,6372957,Barry,Easy Booking and great location. The place was clean and my stay was great.

4121762,28245963,2015-03-21,23862668,Tiffany,Clean and very comfortable to stay in. The place was walkable to South Congress even! Definitely would stay here again since it was the perfect distance from SXSW and at the same time all the off site dinners and brunches we attended were all within half a mile from this house. 
4121762,28508998,2015-03-24,8116672,Jake,Extremely accurate listing that left us wanting to come back and stay here for our next trip! Very affordable but with plenty of room and a nice clean place. This was a first trip to the South 1st Street area for us and loved some of the restaurants around there that we hadn't tried yet. Loved it!

4121762,31559459,2015-05-06,4148254,Jasper,"Exceptionally clean.  My wife really appreciated that.  Mary was very quick to answer our questions and she provides a helpful manual of the do's/don'ts for the house and a list of great restaurants in the neighborhood.

We would love to come back to this property or any of Mary's listings.  
She sets the bar pretty high."
4121762,32299750,2015-05-16,29285102,Gordon,"The place was great! Really private, really clean! My fiancée and I stayed two nights at the end of a hectic month in usa touring. The laundry facilities were a nice touch! So clean. Everything you could possibly need to feel at home and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting out the back door of the main bedroom. Overall the place was outstanding and we would definitely return. Downtown is only a short drive or uber ride away. South 1st has loads of good food nearby and walkable convenience stores too. "
4121762,35417382,2015-06-18,5213390,Jed,"Mary's Home was incredibly welcoming and comfortable for the 4 nights we stayed in Austin. From start to finish, communication was great.  From start to finish, we couldn't have asked for more. Even admist the Tropical Storm Bill, we found ourselves looking forward to our retreat back to the home for the evening. The home was very pleasant, safe, and stocked with everything we needed for our stay, not to mention very clean and charming. This location was perfect for calling homebase for the spots we planned to visit; S. Congress, Downtown, Barton Springs, were all within distance of a short drive. We walked to Summer Moon coffee every morning to start the day.  Mary was very attentive and responsive with any questions.  In essence, we had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to stay that feels just like home.  The Lady and I will most definitely stay here as our first choice next time we visit Austin! "
4121762,36202689,2015-06-26,5369158,Colin,"Mary's place is always a delight. The amenities, condition, and hospitality is A+ every time we've booked with her. This wasn't our first  stay and certainly not our last!"
4121762,38569925,2015-07-16,38364648,Michelle,The place was great.  It was our first time to use AirBNB and it was a great experience.
4121762,40130992,2015-07-28,16165808,Giovanna,We enjoyed the stay. The house was clean and we'll mantained. We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay here again in our future Austin visits.
4121762,40959158,2015-08-03,5308998,Natasa,"Wonderful, clean space, great bedtime,  open floor plan for common area. It was a great location for our purpose. Communication was flawless. Loved and would totally book again."
4121762,41464730,2015-08-07,21300439,Chloe,My colleagues absolutely loved this space. They felt very at home and all felt it was comfortable and in a great location. Mary was very flexible and easy to communicate with.
4121762,42020983,2015-08-10,3107024,Veronica,"the listing was incredibly accurate and the place was beautiful. I did not meet Mary in person but she was responsive and we had no issues.

She allowed us to store our luggage before and after check in which was great!

The apartment was very well stocked and had a washer dryer, plenty of room, a full kitchen and very comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend.

Not a lot within walking distance but quick uber rides to everywhere we wanted to go!"
4121762,42952658,2015-08-16,40485140,Lyla,This house was perfect for our needs. Clean comfortable and a pretty close uber to all the good spots in town. It was very easy to access the place. I would definitely recommend. Mary was very speedy with her responses -great host!
4121762,43296170,2015-08-18,40302204,Cesar,The house was wonderful and had a very relaxed and welcome feel. It was very convenient to all the locations we wanted to visit. Mary was a great Host and took time from her schedule to respond to us. Our stay was a highlight of our trip.
4121762,44961808,2015-08-30,28412175,Daniel,"The house was very nice and in a great location.  The kitchen was awesome for cooking and readily stocked with most cooking necessities. Bathroom was also well stocked with personal needs. The whole place had a charming, comfy feel. Mary was super easy to work with. A very good experience."
4121762,45589307,2015-09-04,5678793,Karim,"We stayed at Mary's place for five days. She was a great Air bnb host; she responded to our requests but didn't bother us. She had a binder with resources, maps and places to visit in the neighbourhood and in South Austin.  She also had a great collection of Dr. Seuss books for little children.  Her house was immaculate with two lovely rooms, one that opened up into the backyard where we had breakfast. Many of the famous Austin sites were close to her place. There was a HEB supermarket a five minute drive away on W Oltorf Street, Barton Springs and Zilker Park were about 10 minutes away and downtown about 20 minutes away. Terry's Black's Bbq which we would highly recommend was also about 10 minutes away at 1003 Barton Springs Rd. SoCo, the fun, eclectic shopping area was about 15 minutes away as was the South Congress Bridge where you'd go to see the bats at dusk. Mary's place was great to come back to after a busy day sightseeing around Austin.  We will definitely go back to Mary's place if we're in Austin again and would recommend it for anyone."
4121762,48242844,2015-09-24,28839682,Kensey,We love all of Mary's homes! We do whatever we can to stay in them when we visit! This house is adorable and has everything you need! I highly recommend! 
4121762,49264536,2015-10-02,33003096,Sarah,My friend and colleague Anne stayed at Mary's place - the location was perfect and the place was clean and comfortable. She said it was the best bed she ever slept in!
4121762,49422964,2015-10-04,24704878,Coreen,"The house was great and very clean. Overall great experience. 
"
4121762,50293663,2015-10-11,7978868,Brandon,Mary's place was perfect for our weekend at ACL. Easy to get around to anywhere and a perfect little place to rest up between shows. 
4121762,51682398,2015-10-22,15890822,Matt,Everything was as advertised and the place was both convenient and practical. Would definitely stay there again. 
346734,1079381,2012-04-03,1890109,Wendy,Jordan did a great job of making us feel right at home. The house was beautiful and accomodated all  14 of our guests.  I would highly recommend both the house and the renter. 
346734,2925495,2012-11-20,2646584,Jose,"Jordan is an awesome host! Our group had a great weekend in Austin and Jordan's house was great for our large group and conveniently located. We felt like locals and were able to truly enjoy our f1 weekend.
Jordan was very easy to work with, very accomodating and friendly. I'd recommend Jordan anytime!"
346734,3770968,2013-03-13,1779,Brett,"Great space out of the downtown craziness that is SXSW.  Large space with plenty of room to spread out.  Nice neighborhood with easy access to highways.  Great value for the space, especially when you divide out the number of people we had there. Definitely would stay there again if in Austin.  "
346734,3889730,2013-03-25,4702734,Dave,"Great place for a bunch of dudes to stay for a weekend.  There were 12 of us, and we had enough room with all of the various beds and couches.  Location is a bit off the beaten path, but easy enough to get cabs to go downtown or to walk to Guadalupe Street.  Enjoyed the backyard and the big windows.  The only downside was that there was no cable TV.  Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, because who goes to Austin to watch TV, but for a bunch of guys who wanted to watch the NCAA tourney, it was a bummer."
346734,10899148,2014-03-12,8141913,Slava,"Had a wonderful SXSW week with a group of friends from California. I've lived in Austin before so this was a trip down memory lane! A bit off the beaten path as others mentioned, but we had a shuttle pick up/drop off our crew when we needed a ride. Public transit isn't far off if that's a concern. Large outside area but didn't get to use much because of rain. Not sure I'd fit 15. We barely squeezed 12, but otherwise good place to crash during the craziness of South by. Lucky we had another home to fit our large group!"
346734,11556871,2014-04-07,2242249,Jane,"It was great! Thanks so much for letting us use your space, it was fun for our group :)"
346734,19492502,2014-09-13,13241157,Marcus,Jordan was great. Check in was easy and the place was perfect for our group of 11. Ronron was nice too.
346734,28162399,2015-03-19,25814824,Charles,"Very friendly and accommodating owner. House was clean and safe, as well as roomy and well situated. Really had a good time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Will probably do again next year!"
346734,28770092,2015-03-29,17209834,Lauren,"Jordan did accommodate us last minute after our other host backed out. 

Unfortunately our stay at harmony house was anything but harmonious. There are only 2 normal beds for a house that is supposed to sleep 12. The 3rd bedroom had a terrible pull out couch mattress. There are no curtains or blinds on any of the windows in the main living areas which will not allow anyone to sleep in these supposed sleeping spaces unless they wanted to be woken with the sun nor did it feel safe in such an open area. 

As far as cleanliness, on a whole it was minimal at best. One of the bedroom's sheets smelt of mildew and we had to cover the pillows with clothes to be able to sleep.   There was kitty litter all on the floor of the master bathroom. We purchased candles so that the house would at least smell decent. There were gnats and cat hair on all of the bedding even though the sheets were supposedly washed-it did not make for a pleasant stay. Also, the kitchen sink faucet was not installed properly, so you had to be very careful you didn’t break it each time you turned on the water. 

It was also very frustrating that Jordan wouldn't take his cat. There is a cat door which it would use as it wished, so you couldn't isolate it outside. Multiple girls are allergic and no one wants some random cat who has been rolling around in God knows what outside to come in and sleep with them. "
346734,29734782,2015-04-12,11185950,Stacie,Great weekend!  Jordan was a gracious host and we had everything we needed and more.  Ron Ron was also very friendly.  Would definitely stay again!
113779,866239,2012-01-16,1378828,Amy,"Really enjoyed this little spot. It was comfortable, cozy, and in a great location from which to explore Austin. Pete was organized, helpful and very returned communications promptly and professionally. Overall a great find."
113779,999255,2012-03-14,1668396,Edward,"Great property & a warm welcome from Pete. All the amenities were modern & working, everything was clean & tidy. The Hyde park area is very relaxing & only just over a 30 minute bus ride into downtown Austin"
113779,1338561,2012-05-23,2414462,Buck,Pete's place was perfect.  Great place in great neighborhood.  As advertised.  Highly recommend!

- Highly recommended -  "
113779,2008227,2012-08-17,1852216,Maggie,"Pete is a great host! I stayed in his unit for 2 months. His place was exactly as pictured and in a safe and charming neighborhood. Everything you could need is provided for a long or short-term stay. He is very prompt, accommodating and professional. I would definitely recommend his place! Thanks Pete!"
113779,4053494,2013-04-06,5331305,Scott,"This was a perfect place and a delightful neighborhood for our stay in Austin. The house was spacious and well appointed. The Hyde Park area was peaceful and all our needs were within walking distance. We especially enjoyed the coffee bar, local bakery and the well stocked grocery store across the street.  

Pete is an excellent host. He is friendly, attentive and businesslike. At our first meeting, Pete made several suggestions and we tried them all. Austin is a great city and Pete's place in Hyde Park was a nice base to return to each night. "
113779,5572091,2013-07-06,7208496,Sarahi,"We had a great experience. Pete was extremely attentive and responsive. The place was very clean and kid friendly and the queen size bed was very comfortable. The sofa pulled out into a bed and the mattress on it was of good quality. I would recommend  this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, quiet place to stay in Hyde Park. "
113779,6246199,2013-08-05,7078082,Steve,Pete was a good host and quickly fixed any issues we had with the apartment.  
113779,7940294,2013-10-09,1286047,Danika,"Pete's apartment in Hyde Park was a delightful place to stay!  The apartment was clean, comfortable, and cheerfully decorated.  The apartment is well-appointed for a longer stay, and the laundry on-site makes it particularly convenient.  This is also a wonderful location.  We loved jogging and walking around the tree-lined streets of Hyde Park--the apartment is right in a green, peaceful area.  And it was great to have the businesses on Duval within an easy walk. Pete was friendly and easy to contact, and it was easy to coordinate arrival and departure.  Thanks, Pete!"
113779,9002699,2013-12-01,9816627,Pat,Great location and excellent property.  I would highly recommend if you are staying in Austin.
113779,9600910,2014-01-03,9930721,Jamie,"We really enjoyed our time at this house in Hyde Park! We actually stayed in the home for 31 days. We found it to be extremely comfortable and very clean. It had everything we needed for an extended stay as well. The house has so much charm, as does the neighborhood it is in. We had so much fun walking around the Hyde Park neighborhood and could even walk to some nearby establishments. Pete was so accommodating and quick to respond to all inquiries. He is also very organized, with everything you need to know written in a welcome packet. I would highly recommend this home and stay there again myself. "
113779,9832684,2014-01-13,7636521,Lauren,"Pete was a great host and we enjoyed our stay—especially the location. We walked to restaurants, coffee, and the park, and it was perfect with our baby. "
113779,10921071,2014-03-13,421670,Ginevra,"Thanks for the lovely place to stay - just as described! Well-organized, perfectly appointed, and quiet. I'd stay anytime."
113779,11047281,2014-03-18,1125828,Tim,"Everything went great!  Place was simple and cute. Pete was very attentive, and gave me some solid details on the area.  Would def. stay again!"
113779,11229849,2014-03-25,6562952,Jessica,"The little home we rented from Pete in Hyde Park was just lovely and perfect for my friend and I who were visiting Austin. We had decided to go kind of on a whim, and because it was a little last minute, accommodations were getting sparse and we were getting nervous! I had originally requested the 2 bdrm, which unfortunately was already booked, but Pete was thoughtful enough to let me know he had a 1 bedroom available and put it on hold for us. The 1 bdrm with a foldout sofa in the living room was totally cozy for 2 people, and with the office in the back I was even able to sneak in some work time. The home was immaculate and Pete was very communicative throughout the whole booking process. 

Hyde Park is a lovely little neighborhood with some of the oldest homes in Austin. There was a school down the street, giving it a real neighborhood feel, and we were able to walk to a natural food grocery store and a couple of restaurants on the nights we felt low key. We had also rented a car so it was just a short car ride to explore the city, go shopping on South Congress or venture out to the bars in East Austin. This was a great little home base for us and was a little sanctuary during our trip!"
113779,12235678,2014-04-27,11823933,Sally,"This house is way more beautiful than the picture shows!  High ceilings, tall windows, spotless.  We are a family of 3 (2 adults and a toddler) and we were able to relax.  Plenty of room in the living room and kitchen for dinners and visiting with my sister and her boyfriend (Austin residents, who we were there to visit).  We had a great time and really enjoyed this home."
113779,14080091,2014-06-11,13670918,Clyde,"the neighborhood is quiet, lots of trees, bushes, flowers, really nice.
the host could not have been nicer--he communicated clearly & very promptly on any questions, and was always available in helpful ways. the apartment was clean, well-furnished, and tasteful, and offered us exactly what we needed for our 5-night stay in Austin. this was our first airbnb experience & would definitely do it again."
113779,14448921,2014-06-19,16190930,Erin,"The home was lovely! Everything was impeccably cleaned and perfectly stocked for our extended stay. It was truly a home away from home. Pete is responsive and helpful and will answer any questions you may have. We thoroughly enjoyed the neighborhood and spent the weekends walking to buy cheese, lunch, baked goods, coffee, and dinner. It was a wonderful place to stay!!!!

113779,24301020,2014-12-25,8694589,Angelina,"Our week stay at Pete's place in Hyde  Park was a wonderful experience.  The home was lovely, exceptionally clean, and filled with every amenity needed to make this a welcoming ""home away from home"".  Pete was very professional and quick to answer our questions and concerns. The neighborhood is very quiet with a quirky charm that begs exploration.  There is a gourmet cheese shop and bakery in walking distance also. We will definitely seek out one of Peter's places when we are back in town."
113779,25243516,2015-01-10,8919580,David,Pete's house was perfect for our needs. It was clean and in a very nice neighborhood. Pete was prompt and pleasant to work with. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in Austin. 
113779,25717788,2015-01-24,13414714,Christopher,Second time I have stayed at one of Pete's place...and it was very enjoyable! He kept in contact and responded quickly to an issue I had with the cooker. His places are super-nice and I will definitely stay at one of his places again when I return to Austin! A great experience!
113779,27569464,2015-03-08,21784881,Jennifer,"This was an adorable apartment in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. It is sunny, bright, and pleasant.  It is also close to campus and walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, a great bakery and coffee shop, a yoga place, and much more. It is also a few blocks from three different bus lines on Duval, Speedway, and Guadalupe that take you to UT, downtown, and Soco. I was thrilled to stay here for two weeks and got around easily without using my car.  I would highly recommend this place and would be happy to stay there again!

Pete was responsive and helpful and the apartment was clean and comfortable. I loved having the extra office space, which also works well as a dressing room as it has a large mirror and is off the bathroom. Having laundry on site (in the garage behind the building) was great too, though the laundry room was very dark and the light was difficult to find. It also would have been nice to have a laundry basket available for carrying clothes across the yard to the garage. Other than that, the place was perfect!"
113779,27811500,2015-03-12,28473445,Gavin,Great place in Hyde Park. Walkable to some great coffee shops.
113779,28706627,2015-03-29,12653944,Kathryn,Pete's apartment was very warm & welcoming.  The neighborhood felt safe & friendly and I really enjoyed the coffee shops & restaurants nearby.  I would definately recommend Pete's apartment.
113779,30804397,2015-04-27,23080416,Richard,"Pete was always in touch with me.  He responded quickly to any email or text.  Instructions about the apartment were very clear and precise.  The neighborhood was lovely--lush greenery, family oriented with people strolling around with their children.  Very quiet at night.  The apartment was clean and comfortable.  We slept very well. Air conditioning was excellent."
113779,36807404,2015-07-01,35369343,Susan,"Listing was accurate and Pete was very nice--answered all questions promptly both before booking and while I was there. A/C broke down and he had it fixed the next day, offering to put me up in a hotel in the meantime. Place is very nice, kitchen is sparsely equipped but adequate for breakfast etc and I very much appreciated the ceiling fans. Only downside was the shower--very nice claw-footed bathtub, but there wasn't enough space to shower without the shower curtain clinging to you--not ideal given the heat and humidity. Neighbourhood is nice and had easy (bus) commute to UT Austin where I was doing some work."
5969993,30268674,2015-04-19,30911440,Leslie,Kelly was a great hostess and her listing is right in the middle of everything! It's 5 mins from downtown and 2 mins from all the parks. South Congress is literally down the block. I highly recommend if you're looking for a place to crash and explore! Kelly provided all the amenities to make me feel right at home! 
5969993,30739373,2015-04-26,24871244,Daniel,Kelly was an awesome host and pointed me toward some fun things going on the weekend I stayed. Her home is in a great location and it's easy to drive or Uber where ever you need. She provided everything needed and I felt comfortable and welcome there. 
5969993,31025238,2015-04-30,23252969,Fraser," I stayed for 2 nights and whilst I barely saw Kelly, she was very accommodating, laid back and friendly. Her place is in a really nice quiet neighbourhood, but still close to the action. "
5969993,31622620,2015-05-07,32675761,Jon,What a wonderful experience. Kelly made my first Airbandb experience so comfortable and easy. I would certainly stay here again as the place was very centrally located and kept in wonderful shape. Just a great space and wonderful person. Thanks again!
5969993,31861511,2015-05-10,414338,Howard,"Kelly was very flexible in my arrival time; she has a lockbox for giving guests the key without her having to be home, but was home when I arrived. She was very welcoming and is a warm and friendly hostess.

The bedroom is very sizable and gets lots of light. It was great weather so we left a window open overnight and awoke to sounds of several cardinals. The house is surrounded by tall trees and close to a creek.

The house has easy access to South Lamar, which is filled with several good restaurants, including Uchi. And it's exceedingly close to the Barton Creek greenbelt, as I was to discover.
"
5969993,32575799,2015-05-19,32077054,David,"Kelly was a great host; thoughtful, friendly, and her house was kept clean in a beautiful quiet tree lined neighborhood. 

My gf and I felt very much at home and loved having a comfy place nearby to crash after a long day of exploring Austin. There was a lock box with a key and we barely saw our host so it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves.

My first airbnb experience went exactly as I hoped. 

5 stars!"
5969993,32799242,2015-05-21,17128370,Chelsea,"Sweet and simple little duplex. Accommodating for my small dog (kelly was flexible and she left dog treats for my pup in the room) probably not a good place for a medium-large sized dog, backyard was very muddy and there are other dogs on the other side of the fence that barked whenever my dog was outside-front or back. House was great though, good location, kelly is nice and it was easy comfortable. "
5969993,33195440,2015-05-25,33788199,Matthias,"I had a great time staying at Kelly’s house and would highly recommend her. Kelly was very friendly and helpful to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The room was very nice and her house welcoming and cozy to stay in. She was very helpful to work around my schedule for the Memorial Day Weekend Triathlon in town. I  was able to leave my luggage till after the race, which was nice as well I was able to take a shower afterwards. I would definitely recommend staying here again. The house is in a pleasant area and very close to all public transport and stores. Especially to Torchy Tacos, great place to get some yummy tacos. Highly recommended. I wish Kelly all the best. "
5969993,33759071,2015-05-31,9207972,Jared,"Greatly enjoyed my stay here! Room and accomodations are exactly as advertised. Kelly was extremely nice. Room was quiet and clean and the house is in a great neighborhood, not far at all from downtown."
5969993,34182421,2015-06-05,10400068,Deborah,I only stayed at Kelly's home for one night but it was a great experience. I did not get to meet Kelly upon my arrival but I was given instructions to use the lockbox which made it simple and easy to get in while she was at work. The room was quite large and had a nice balcony. The bed was extremely comfy and I was provided with towels. Kelly was very communicative throughout my stay and I was finally able to meet her in the evening. She was very nice and I'm glad I chose to stay at her home for my trip to Austin. It's about an $8 uber/lyft to downtown. The south Lamar neighborhood is great and just down the street. I highly recommend booking here! 
5969993,35039108,2015-06-14,35390718,Joe,Enjoyed staying at Kelly's place. It's much cooler than the photos. Lots of space and very convenient to the good stuff in south Austin.
5969993,35981479,2015-06-23,4660162,Vick,"Kelly was a terrific host, very friendly while also respecting my privacy. The home was just as advertised and the location even better than I expected, being near to so many S.Lamar places of interest but located in a nice quite cul-de-sac.  Check-in was very flexible, and being able to store my bicycles in the garage was a huge plus - thank you, Kelly!"
5969993,36916193,2015-07-02,12639859,Magda,"Kelly's duplex is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood in South Lamar. The place is sweet, cozy and tucked away, while restaurants, shops, etc are easily accessible. 
I stayed here with my fiancé for one night. We only met Kelly briefly, but she was super friendly and accommodating. 
You have your own room across the hall from Kelly's, and access to the rest of the house (kitchen, living, etc). Just a note that the house can get a little warm in the summertime, especially upstairs, but there are fans. All in all, it was a great place to stay."
5969993,37072064,2015-07-04,26330871,Aseem,This was my first Airbnb experience and I am glad that I chose Kelly's place. She has a beautiful house in a safe and quiet neighborhood and close to the happening side of Austin. The house is as shown in the pictures and well arranged with stuff that guests might need. Although I didn't get a chance to meet Kelly but she was very prompt in replying on phone. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend her place. 
5969993,37802770,2015-07-10,17223004,Corey,"I had a great stay at Kelly's place. We only got to meet briefly, but she was very nice and welcoming. Her home is comfortable, clean, quiet, and close to all the good spots on the south side of Austin. Stay here!"
5969993,38087797,2015-07-12,17575325,Nick,I didn't meet Kelly – came in late and left early – but her room was nice and the bed was comfy. Just what I needed.
5969993,38540511,2015-07-16,3965790,Lynn,"Kelly made me feel welcome by putting complete trust in me as a guest. The picture on the listing is actually of the living room, not the room, but the room is spacious, with a great front bay window. This is a very convenient location in S. Austin, on a quiet, safe cul-de-sac. Very convenient to Barton Springs and downtown Austin. 

The room had all the needed amenities, including Wifi password, a desk, dresser and closet space. 

I would recommend staying here, as the host was very open, inviting, warm, and the location is great. "
5969993,39471541,2015-07-23,39269907,Galadriel,This was my first experience staying at an airbnb and it was lovely! Kelly provided the right amount of involvement and privacy. Her home is comfortable and welcoming and Kelly herself is kind and warm. And the location is great! 
5969993,39886218,2015-07-26,591495,Rahul,Nice little stay at this house.  Room was great; had everything that I needed.  House was at great location and worked out really well.  Was out and about majority of trip but briefly met Kelly and she was very hospitable and welcoming.   Perfect place for quick stay in Austin; highly recommended.
5969993,40069165,2015-07-27,2439876,Carrie,"We were very happy with our stay in Kelly's duplex. In the process of moving to Austin, we arrived at our place to discover the city utilities company had failed to turn the water on. Kelly responded to our extremely last-minute request within a few hours. She was terrific about telling us when she would be home, where the thermostat was, and how to leave the key when we left the next morning. It made the unexpected stress about moving much easier! "
5969993,42728602,2015-08-15,27290242,Pauline,"Kelly was very accommodating, clean, and had such a beautiful living space. I would definitely recommend "
5969993,44791720,2015-08-29,875824,Shelley,"I was a long-term resident at Kelly's (two weeks) and I had a very nice time. The room is large and comfortable. There is a desk in the room, which I spent time working at but you will probably not want to do so because there is a great deal of beer to be drunk in Austin (but also non-beer activities - bat viewing, swimming holes, tacos). As others have said, this house is in a great location and Kelly is easy-going and helpful."
5969993,45217930,2015-08-31,733611,Tibor,"Kelly was a great host during our stay and her place was as described in the brief. We spoke a few times and she was very helpful with everything. The place is located in a very quiet and very beautiful cul de sac. The location is also very close to everything you need from restaurants, grocery store, downtown, etc...  I would definitely stay again. "
5969993,45780983,2015-09-06,11613389,Alessio,"L'accoglienza  è  stata un po'  strana dato  che Kelly si era dimenticata di noi, ma dopo due chiamate e un messaggio in segreteria  ci ha subito risposto dicendoci come poter entrare  in casa.  La casa è  molto bella e pulita, immersa nel verde a un ora e dieci di autobus  dall'aeroporto o si può  fare il tragitto con 35dollari di taxi (sempre se il taxi sta non baglia strada).  La fermata più  vicina alla casa  è a quasi  15 minuti a piedi, io sinceramente  la consiglierei a chi decide di affittare una macchina, in quanto gli autobus  passano ogni 20/30minuti in base all'orario. Il quartiere  di South Lamar non è  ancora ben sviluppato quindi si ci deve spostare  a South congress o nel downtown e anche in questo  caso lo spostamento è  abbastanza  lungo con  cambi vari di autobus e lunghe camminate a piedi. Kelly praticamente  non l'abbiamo  quasi mai vista infatti non ci è  stata affatto utile, quindi ci siamo dovuti  arrangiare per capire come poterci spostare con i mezzi pubblici, ma per fortuna i texani e soprattutto  gli autisti dei bus sono molto disponibili. In sintesi Consiglio vivamente di alloggiare a SoCo o nel downtown per giostrare al meglio in vostro tempo."
5969993,45951637,2015-09-07,12133214,Carmel,"Our host let us know ahead of time that she would not be on-site to meet in person or tidy up the room since the last guest. Regardless, we were able to let ourselves in and arrived late at night to a clean, quiet and warm house. There were small amenities neatly placed at bedroom dresser and we were able to change the sheets and use fresh towels that were also readily available for our use.  We also appreciated the quietness of the neighborhood and being able to access kitchen appliances (fridge/microwave). We stayed over only a few hours, but had a pleasant experience nonetheless."
5969993,46109838,2015-09-07,32673851,Matthew,The host canceled this reservation 23 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5969993,46753018,2015-09-13,41109387,Sarah,"Kelly was very quick to respond and helpful throughout the whole process. She wasn't there when I stayed, but she gave clear directions on everything we needed. Her place was nice and clean, and it was a short ride from everything we wanted to do in Austin. South Lamar the closes main street, but everything else- downtown, Congress, Rainey St, etc was all about a 10-15 min cab ride away. The neighborhood was in a quiet area, which was nice to come back to after a day of being out and about. 
 This was my first experience using an AirBnB and I'd definitely recommend Kelly's place and would use AirBnB again! "
5969993,46954519,2015-09-14,42625774,Daniel,"Great experience- my first time using AirBnB, everything went well, and Kelly was a great host. A+!"
5969993,47274029,2015-09-17,40753508,Kenny,"Kelly was friendly.  Her home was tidy.  The room is a good sized room, and the bathroom was clean.  Neighborhood was quiet and welcoming.  Thank you."
5969993,47450370,2015-09-18,7178468,Brendon,"Kelly was a great host!  She stayed in touch the entire time and was very flexible when I needed to change my arrival time.  The place was great, and next time I hope I can stay for longer :)"
5969993,48346475,2015-09-25,11342981,Travis,Kelly was a good host. No complaints.
5969993,48472446,2015-09-26,288209,Sam,"I was late coming into town after my train was delayed. Kelly was an extremely accommodating host and set everything up for my arrival. The apartment is large, comfortable and in a great neighborhood that was fun to explore. Would recommend."
5969993,48706238,2015-09-28,5059196,Marshall,"A friend and I were in town for a wedding and were looking to save some money on accommodations. Kelly was a great host, though the bedroom technically isn't a master- the bathroom is in the hall and shared with Kelly, though we mostly had the place to ourselves and didn't see Kelly after our initial arrival.  We had a rental car and there was ample street parking and took Uber a few times when we knew we'd be drinking and got to downtown Austin for under $10. "
5969993,49058683,2015-09-30,43776553,Rachel,"Kelly was very welcoming and her home is lovely. I had a great stay, her location was absolutely PERFECT for my needs. Thank you much Kelly!! "
5969993,49961337,2015-10-07,34784602,준석,"Kelly's house was clean, spacious. And nice location where we couldn't feel unsafe. She cared we could enter the house even though she was not in home. Everything is set for traveler. I definitely recommend her."
5969993,51403569,2015-10-19,42909024,Lea,"Kelly's home was clean and convenient; nice, quiet area. I would differently stay there again if I'm back in south Austin. Perfect location and easy to get around. Kelly was great. Very sweet and friendly, made me feel very welcomed. Thank you Kellly"
5969993,51601340,2015-10-21,28579546,Scott,"Just as described. I booked last minute. Kelly was very accommodating. Since I arrived kinda late, I didn't have much interaction with Kelly but the limited that I did...she was very nice.  Thanks for letting Mella and I crash at your place. "
5969993,51717352,2015-10-24,18879745,Lynn,"We loved staying in Kelly’s beautiful house in a wonderful neighbourhood. We didn’t get a chance to meet her, but she stayed in touch and was very helpful. Highly recommended!"
2248186,10331361,2014-02-13,5037698,Luciana,The reservation was canceled 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2248186,12140405,2014-04-23,11420583,Gerardo,Rachel and her two pups made our stay very much enjoyable! Nice and cozy room! Would def. go back!
2248186,12259897,2014-04-27,4692568,Sarah,Rachael was very nice and made sure we got settled in ok. The place was very clean and bed very comfortable. Dogs were super cute and well-behaved. Only downside was that the bathroom is not connected to the bedroom if you are looking for that extra bit of privacy. Otherwise highly recommend. 
2248186,13772471,2014-06-03,11420583,Gerardo,Always a good stay with Rachel and her two nice pups!
2248186,14069328,2014-06-10,11629188,Emily,Rachael's place was absolutely perfect! It was close to the Hyde Park area which is where I used to live so I absolutely loved the location. Her place was super clean and the whole ambient/decor was really neat. Here 2 little dogs are adorable - Smokey and Pooh Bear :) The room is spacious and you have a private bathroom. An absolutely perfect stay!  
2248186,21162342,2014-10-12,961745,Nitin,"The house was very nice. Rachel is a very nice host. The backyard was really nice to sit, relax and meditate. The only problem was the mattress which we didn't think was comfortable. I didn't bring it up with the host because of our short stay. Everything else was great"
2248186,21569989,2014-10-19,16375632,Scott,"Wonderful home! Great location near UT. My girlfriend and I ABNB'd with Rachel and went to the Longhorns game. What a pleasant experience, everything neat and tidy. Guest room has great lighting with separate bathroom adjacent to the room. Would definitely stay again. Thank you. "
2248186,27866367,2015-03-13,3480003,Hunter,"An incredible trip in a beautiful home and place. Rachel's home is clean, neat, and warm. Her two puppies, smokey and pooh bear are adorable and kept my girlfriend and I company. Our room was spacious and had a bathroom just outside the door making for a very private feeling. Rachel was accommodating and helped recommend some great local restaurants and insightful about the community. The back porch is a nice place to relax and you might even catch a glimpse of the neighbors friendly pet goat next door. The house was spotless and we felt like we were in a private getaway. SXSW is super close and convenient with uber or car about 7 min. Also, really light traffic being on the east side. Highly recommended and we'll be back! "
2248186,33160201,2015-05-25,28780342,Gracita,"Rachael's place was great.  This was my first time renting a room instead of an entire house.  My husband and I did not at all feel like we lacked privacy the two days we stayed with Rachael.  First of all, her house is gorgeous and very clean. Our room felt like a very spacious hotel room. Second, the room is at one end of the house so it felt very private (something I worried about in renting only a room. Third, Rachael was a great host. Her recommendations as a local added to our trip to Austin. My husband and I would not hesitate to  stay with Rachael again."
2248186,35054592,2015-06-14,34378000,Edvard & Irina,Very nice place. Super clean and tidy. Awesome feel. Great location. 
2248186,45901385,2015-09-06,5055626,Armando,"Rachael is the perfect host. Her home is impeccably clean and very well decorated, I would compare her place to a boutique hotel.  The location of the house is very central and very close to the downtown area.    "
2248186,48655162,2015-09-27,16599757,Ben,"I had a pleasant stay at Rachael's place. Her home is very clean and tidy, and her dogs are adorable.  I only had a chance to talk with her briefly, but she was very friendly and helpful."
2248186,50449472,2015-10-12,4094556,Fariba,We loved staying with Rachael.  The house was beautifully decorated and clean.  Rachael was really friend and helpful any time we needed anything.  Her 2 dogs were very well behaved and cute!  We had a great time getting to know Rachael better and that made our visit to Austin even more special!
2248186,51957364,2015-10-25,45819892,Philippe,"Nice room and Rachael was very welcoming. The house has been nicely renovated, near to Mueller area with park, shopping and a few restaurants. Would recommend staying there."
2385103,28211973,2015-03-20,26936511,Eleni,"This was a great apartment at a wonderful neighbourhood! It was super comfortable and welcoming, close to downtown.  Olivia was a great host, she had left snacks and fruit for us, and she had sent all the info we needed in advance.  She also had a great guide book with things to do and restaurants in the area.  I really loved staying at this place!"
2385103,30876602,2015-04-28,1136677,Alicia,Accurate pictures and description. Ideal location. Smooth and minimal contact with host. 
2385103,34787819,2015-06-12,31047969,Michael,"Olivia's beautiful condo in the dynamic and active Clarksville area is everything it was advertised to be. The oversized windows provided a beautiful treetop view and constant sunshine. Olivia has taken great care to decorate and outfit her condo with beautiful furniture and pieces. I stayed for a month and was quite honestly depressed to have to leave. If you are looking for a quiet, private location within minutes of everything Austin has to offer, you could not find a better place to stay. You can walk to excellent restaurants, diners and coffee shops in 5 minutes and downtown is a quick Uber ride away. Because this is a very exclusive and private development, everyone was quiet and respectful. My only minor complaint, and I hate to even call it a complaint, is that the sisal carpet on the stairs is a little harsh on bare feet. "
5272963,50506226,2015-10-12,44359521,Karen,"We have stayed in many boutique hotels, b&bs, villas, chain hotels, luxury hotels and resorts, all across the globe. Maison Pemberton stands out in the Top 5 of ""Best of the Best"". This little Parisian gem whispers luxury in every detail. It begs you to sit for awhile...to relax with friends+family or with a good book...to sip a glass of wine (or maybe a glass of beer) and breathe in the fragrances and colors of France. (With a little nod to Chianti region of Italy.) I must echo all the wonderful reviews preceding mine. Everything is absolutely True! The kitchen is well equipped, stocked and ready for the chef. Mary Beth and Ken make you feel as if you are a guest in their own home...pampered. As another reviewer said, there is absolutely no other place I would rather stay when visiting Austin. Even our teenage daughters hope we will return, as a family tradition, to relax at Maison Pemberton for many years to come. "
8645955,50388473,2015-10-11,27164150,Kathleen,"Kaley was a phenomenal host. The place was very clean and very cozy and welcoming. Before arriving, Kaley made sure that everything was organized and that we had everything we needed. She also gave us recommendations on local places and she responded to texts immediately. My friend and I loved our time that we spent staying at Kaley's adorable home and we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying with Kaley if you visit Austin because she was so sweet and accommodating and her place was in a great location and everything was in perfect condition. 

Thanks for being lovely, Kaley!"
8645955,51223651,2015-10-18,46113677,Jordan,"Kaley was a gracious, excellent host. She was available if we needed anything and the apartment was cute and cozy. Thanks for the hospitality, Kaley!"
8645955,51947395,2015-10-25,9126853,Shayla,Kaley's place was super cute and in a great location! Her apartment complex is adorable and quiet. Close to downtown and great restaurants. Sadly the weather was not great while we were in town but we were able to play games and veg out and feel right at home.
8645955,52777066,2015-11-01,31461423,Michelle,"Kaley's place is adorable and in a great, quiet neighborhood. Definitely a cozy place, so probably better for just 2 people, unless you're cool with sleeping on the floor. There is a grocery store and a few restaurants within walking distance (took us about 10 min or so). She was very accommodating and easy to get in touch with."
4204316,20881323,2014-10-06,21884311,Jimmy,"Access to the house was easy, they gave us a key code for the door before we even arrived.  The place was clean and location is great.  We would definitely stay here again."
4204316,26065270,2015-02-02,16675981,Jennifer,"Our stay was great at Atomic Ranch. Everything was clean, and it was just the right amount of space for my family. If only Jay could have made the rain stop our stay would've been perfect! I will definitely rent this house again when my family comes to town."
4204316,33508367,2015-05-29,30163257,Tenesa,"We chose to stay at The Atomic Ranch based on a few very specific points. We needed enough space for a family of six, access to laundry, and some outdoor space for the kids to play. The photos and description of the property seemed just right. We liked the somewhat eclectic lighting and color pallet, the upgraded tile backsplashes, and the glass bowl bathroom sink. I especially appreciated the included floor plan, leaving no question whether we would all fit comfortably. Coupled with a few welcome emails offering additional services such as grocery shopping, laundry, and baby item rentals, it seemed that a good deal of thought and care had gone into this property.

We had been informed that a cleaning crew would be present the morning of our arrival. When we arrived at the property it was immediately evident that either the cleaning crew had not been present or had done a very poor job. The floors and even the walls were very dirty. There was a layer of dust on every surface and cobwebs throughout the home including under and around furniture. The bathtub was dirty and stained. The refrigerator had dry milk and hair on the inside and a thin coating of rust on the outside of the doors. We would have written it off as bad housekeeping, but the walls made us concerned that we might lose our deposit if the owner had not been aware of the condition beforehand. We reached out through email and a secondary point of contact listed in a welcome packet, but received no response from either.

While waiting and cleaning, it became our opinion that the house had not been maintained in some time. The yard we had planned on having the children play in was overgrown and the condition of the deck was questionable with some nails beginning to protrude from the surface. The two propane grills were rusted and unusable, there were wasp nests in both the front and back eves, we found potholders with food still on them in the drawer, and the pots and pans were worn to the point of disuse. We tried to make the best of it until I attempted to wash the towels we had used to clean up and discovered the washing machine was broken and would not drain. Having received no contact from the owner we were forced to contact airbnb customer service. They were wonderful in their efforts to correct the issues we were having and made attempts to contact the owner themselves. We were contacted finally late at night two days before checkout, but only to tell us that they were busy and another person would be in touch the next day. They did have a service person fix the washer, but within less than twenty-four hours of our checkout and after we had made other arrangements. Ultimately we were very disappointed with a property that should have been quite nice, but appeared to have been neglected."
4204316,44003514,2015-08-23,40396701,Ann,"Westrock was a great place to stay,  Very clean and comfortable.  All amenities were perfect.  Quick response when we asked questions.  Modern and updated --everything you need is there.  I will definitely go back to this property of one of Jay's other properties.    Day and night time activities very close and easy to get to  "
1989247,10559285,2014-02-24,12333550,Ben,Katie was super friendly and very helpful with suggestions for dinner and activities. We had a great time staying with her.

It was centrally located to where my conference was and within walking distance of downtown, great restaurants and bars. I was very happy with the airbnb experience and would highly recommend renting from Katie to anyone visiting Austin. "
1989247,12281571,2014-04-28,4975176,Mary Katherine,"Katie was a lovely host. She made us feel instantly welcome and helped us with whatever we needed. She recommended some excellent coffee shops where I could go to work as well as get a good feel of Austin, and she also got free tickets for some friends to attend an amazing conference. Her place is in a quiet area and it's nice walk to the heart of downtown over the river. I really enjoyed my time!"
1989247,12387549,2014-04-30,14448784,Jessica,Katie was a very gracious host and my friend and I enjoyed our stay! She accepted our very last minute reservation with no problem and was accommodating to our needs.  
1989247,13319458,2014-05-25,3579072,Aimee,"Awesome location, Katie was very friendly and helpful. I stayed a couple of weeks and found the apartment to be a really comfortable place. "
1989247,13919147,2014-06-08,12445626,James,"Fab place! Katie was really friendly and helpful, the place was nice and the location was spot on for me; it's really easy to walk to downtown, and it's nice and quiet. Would definitely recommend."
1989247,20602991,2014-10-02,18428109,Hildebrando,"I couldn't ask for more I had a great experience here!

Katie is just awesome and an incredible great host! I stayed about 3 months at her apt and she was always making sure that I felt like in home and rapidly become a good friend! she also has the most friendly, cute and photogenic dog ever! 

Location is perfect right in the most cultural and social area in Austin you will save a lot of money in transportation because everything is a just few blocks away. 

Certainly I'll try to come back!"
1989247,20923543,2014-10-07,7637276,Steven,"Katie was an awesome host. She's friendly, cool, and accommodating, and her place is in a great location near Barton Springs. I stayed in her guest bedroom for ACL, and she was kind enough to invite me and my friend to a private party after the shows. Very fun experience. "
1989247,21129575,2014-10-12,19923351,Bennett,"Katie was extremely hospitable and mindful to my wife and I when we stayed at her apartment.  The apartment was as described in the listing - I'm a big fella, and I was comfortable in this apartment. We just came down for one night for ACL weekend, and most hosts require at least a three day stay for this weekend, but Katie did not require this, which was very nice of her. Speaking of ACL, this is a great location (about a mile from Zilker) for it.  Overall we were very pleased with our experience, and we look forward to possible future stays with Katie!"
1989247,21682778,2014-10-21,21813161,Greg,"Katie was a great host and made us feel very welcome. From the second we met her she seemed like an old friend. She was very accommodating, buying a very nice extra air bed so me and my friend didn't have to sleep together.  Her place was clean and comfortable;  just what we were looking for in the perfect location. She does have a small dog in the apartment but worry not because it is the friendliest dog I've ever met. All in all staying with Katie was great and I would definitely do it again!"
1989247,21960889,2014-10-27,13353506,Steve,"Great location and Katie was super flexible in terms of check in and coordinating keys.  You can uber/ cab it to downtown for less than $7 or the walk over the bridge has great views.

The little dog is super friendly!"
1989247,22363299,2014-11-04,17016288,Krystal,Katie was awesome!  Everything was great at her place and it was conveniently located near things to do.  We had a fantastic time in Austin and Katie played a big part in that.  We would definitely stay here again!
1989247,23683715,2014-12-08,3737615,Jessica,"I didn't actually meet Katie until I was leaving, but she was very responsive and helpful during our whole trip. Any problems we had, she fixed right away. The location of the apartment is great - walking distance to everything, or a quick uber or bus ride away. The room was a bit small for two people, but would be great for 1 person. Her dog Sake is so cute!"
1989247,24087730,2014-12-19,21539062,Alice,"This is a great apartment in an amazing location- very close to everything! The room is comfortable, and everything was effortless. Katie is an amazing host, who is very considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend this AirBnB! "
1989247,24956880,2015-01-04,24425149,Aidan,Katie was very friendly and gave very helpful advice. This is truly an ideal location. It is close to all the major sites of Houston. The apartment and room is a great space and Katie made us feel at home.
1989247,25394624,2015-01-14,9929283,Hitesh,"Great little apartment in a rural setting. This was ideal for what i needed, a place within a short bike ride away from downtown or about a 15-20min walk. The airbed was comfortable and with a few extra blankets, warm on some of Austin's coldest nights. Didn't see katie until the last day but was in constant contact over messaging. Overall it was a good airbnb"
1989247,25549843,2015-01-19,1790175,Shelmi,My brief stay at Katie's was pleasant! She is super responsive and gave me plenty of tips on places to check out. Her apartment was homey and had everything I needed. Everything was walking distance or a short Uber ride. Her dog Sake is the sweetest! I would definitely stay with Katie next time I'm in town :)
1989247,26054871,2015-02-02,20530942,Sabine,"Had a great time at Katie's place, wonderful location."
1989247,26487244,2015-02-14,10595026,Kaivan,"Katie was amazingly welcoming. I was new to Austin and just trying to get a feel for if I wanted to move there, and Katie welcomed me as if we were old friends. She introduced me to her friends and told me everything I should check out in Austin. She even invited me out to a pub crawl with her friends! When she realized I would be working from home, she introduced me to her co-working group who gets together and works from coffee shops. I needed laundry done, and she hooked me up with a service that picks up my clothes then delivers them so I wouldn't have to wait in the laundry room. This was the best experience I could have asked for, and because of it I am moving to Austin! THANKS KATIE!!!!"
1989247,26881216,2015-02-21,21617515,Jeff,Katie was a great host and the room was perfect for what I needed. Great location that was within walking distance to downtown as well as the South Congress shops. The bed was comfortable and her little dog was adorable and super friendly.
1989247,26937657,2015-02-22,1949315,Caitlin,"Excellent location, very affordable for a party of two, and a wonderful base camp for doing anything downtown in Austin. My friend and I had come for an ACL event, and we loved the very convenient 10 minute walk to get downtown. Excellent way to avoid parking costs! Katie was very quick to respond to messages and calls, and even though we actually didn't get to meet our host face-to-face, we immediately felt welcome and at home by her precious dog, Sake. My friend and I only stayed for one night, but I'm definitely going to keep Katie's room in mind for my next trip to Austin."
1989247,27352286,2015-03-02,2338806,Joel,"Katie was an exceptional host, and I enjoyed my stay immensely. The location was fantastic, the apartment was comfortable, and her rates are very reasonable. Overall, I had an excellent time, and would highly recommend this listing and Katie as a host. "
1989247,27472663,2015-03-05,27872940,Andrew,"Katie was awesome. Super friendly and welcoming. She would have bent over backwards for me (had I needed it). Her place was well kept, and her dog was super friendly and great. The neighborhood was a great place to stay, with a *lot* of things within easy walking distance."
1989247,27641593,2015-03-09,5140287,Leah,"I had a nice stay with Katie. The apartment is nice and clean, the room is quiet. Her dog Sake is a real love bug! 

Katie was helpful; she wasn't around much (which is fine by me) but she was available by text and she arranged a cab for me to get to the airport early on a Sunday morning. I really appreciated that because I was worried about the availability of Lyft/Uber that early on a weekend. She also gave me a great recommendation for a nearby breakfast place. 

I'm sure the listing said this but I must have missed it. The bed is an aerobed. It's a really nice one, high off the ground like a normal bed. I slept just fine, but if you don't like aerobeds this is not the place for you. "
1989247,28817672,2015-03-30,9959088,Carolyn,"Katie and I communicated prior to my arrival and she was so helpful in helping me plan my trip. I went with my sister and we were attending a wedding, Katie helped us make sure that we were able to get to the venue via cab. Katie's apartment was spotless, included plenty of towels for us to use. 

The neighborhood was amazing, super convenient to walk over to downtown or explore south congress (Torchy's Tacos, plenty of of other places to eat and explore as well) My sister and I didn't have to rely on cabs too much. There was also a bike share station about 2 blocks away. Right by the water and trails as well. 

Katie had prepared for us the Wifi password, other things to do in Austin, and made sure to respond to my texts promptly! I highly recommend Katie's if you're staying around Austin - 

"
1989247,28886728,2015-03-31,28468175,Adam,Very easy stay. Good communication and very helpful. 15 Minute walk from city hall area of downtown. Grab a hamburger and milkshake from Sandy's on the way over!
1989247,29018515,2015-04-02,4360234,Jessica,Katie was extremely accommodating. She let me leave my luggage at her place before check in time and let me pick up my bags later than expected when I ran into an emergency. Her place is located closely to downtown and SOCO. (I walked everywhere while I was in Austin) I enjoyed staying there and will definitely stay here again on my next visit. P.S. Her dog Sake is adorable and so affectionate and loving!

I came here alone (26 yr old female) to check out the city and everything about this place was fantastic. Katie was an excellent host and accommodated anything I needed and always always available if I had any questions. Very clean apartment. Has its own vibe and lots of character which is so cute. I had a rental car, was able to park right outside the apartment no problem. Very very close to EVERYTHING.  Easy to drive nearly anywhere in Austin and at night my uber rides to 6th street/Rainey street were under $7. I will definitely try to stay here again if I am coming back to visit Austin. "
1989247,30312877,2015-04-20,8829511,Clément,"Katie was easy to communicate with before I arrived, and access was easy even though our paths did not cross due to my short stay. The apartment is well located and a good base to explore Austin, as long as one is ok with airbeds!"
1989247,31601341,2015-05-07,2526615,Michael,"Katie is a gracious and courteous hostess. She had a nice apartment and provided a clean room. The apartment is at an ideal location walking distance to restaurants, downtown, and Zulker Park. I would definitely stay over again if I was visiting Austin."
1989247,31752041,2015-05-09,30074044,Christine,"Katie was awesome to work with. She was very quick to answer any questions. Her puppy is adorable. Apartment is cute. She is very welcoming, I felt at home. Perfect location to downtown only a $5 uber to Rainey street or 2nd street. Everything was very accessible from her apartment. A lot of cool things to see in this area. "
1989247,32005758,2015-05-12,32457131,Kayleigh,"Staying in Katie's apartment was an absolute joy! It was everything my boyfriend and I needed to make our trip that much more special.

Her dog Sake is super cute too :)"

1989247,32386634,2015-05-17,32162282,Ana,"Fue muy desagradable, estaba muy sucio el departamento, olia mal, solo me quede 10 minutos, no creo que alguien pueda dormir en esas condiciones.  Aparte tuve que conseguir otro lugar y pagar, de verdad no entiendo como pueden rentar asi un lugar."
1989247,32934770,2015-05-23,17919738,Hugo,"Katie's place is in the perfect location, the apartment is very comfortable and Sake (her dog) is the sweetest. Katie was very welcoming and fun to talk to. I highly recommend staying with her. "
1989247,33369673,2015-05-27,1571627,Warwick,We had a great time in Austin staying at Katie's. She was friendly and made us feel welcome in her home. Her flexibility with checkin and checkout time was especially helpful to us as we had early/late flights. Recommend host! 
1989247,33746194,2015-05-31,22462525,Steven,"Katie did a good job of communicating prior to, during, and at the completion of my stay. We stayed in touch via text, which worked fine for me. 
The apartment is adequate, although the bedroom and bathroom are quite small, they serve their purpose and reflect the lower rate compared to others in the Austin area. Everything was clean and presentable, despite the apartment being a bit old. 
The apartment complex is a decent home base for a fun weekend in Austin. A good walk or short uber ride to anything in town made this a good fit. As long as you're not expecting luxury for a budget-friendly price, you will do fine here. "
1989247,34455466,2015-06-08,31850103,Shreya,"Katie was welcoming and very friendly. She's knowledgeable about the area. The room was clean, quiet, and the air mattress was pretty comfortable. The fridge was stocked with beer, which is was nice enough to share for free. Her dog is adorable but WILL get into your belongings if you leave the door even slightly open. "
1989247,35506984,2015-06-19,27672803,Christina,"Wonderful!  Katie is a gem!  Her house is very comfortable and very close to downtown.  It was a great home away from home.  Her dog, Sake, is the sweetest thing you've ever met!  Katie made me feel instantly comfortable and was super helpful and informative about the city.  Thank you!  Would definitely recommend anyone to stay! "
1989247,40727720,2015-08-02,31757471,Michael,A great location with a great host! Katie is attentive to detail and there's lots to do around the area. Downtown and Barton Springs Pool both within walking distance. The place is clean and air conditioned and is a very comfortable environment. Very much recommend staying here. 
1989247,40896419,2015-08-03,26438466,Melanie,Katie was very flexible and accommodating with our odd schedule and responded promptly to any messages and provided updates!  The location can't be beat as it is reasonably accessible by taxi/uber/public transportation to the downtown area and the airport.  Her dog was friendly but quiet.  We were only there a few hours but are thankful we had a comfortable place to stay!
1989247,41687677,2015-08-08,39949062,John,"I came to Austin for a conference so just needed a bed and a shower for two nights.  And I wasn't there much more than just sleeping and getting ready for the next day.  So didn't interact with the host much, but when I did, Katie was very pleasant. She was thankful that I was easy - she was dealing with a death in her family and a double booking glitch and had to deal with two renters at the same time.  Had a very comfortable private room. Would recommend Katie's place to anyone. 
"
1989247,41922860,2015-08-10,12096707,Taylor,"Katie might be the best host I've ever stayed with. She did everything in her power to make us feel comfortable and at home in a new city. Katie took care of everything and made staying in Austin a fun experience.
I would definitely recommend this room to anyone looking to stay in Austin. I can guarantee that you'll be in good, safe hands.

As for location, it is right in the middle of everything. It's an easy walk into the city, or if you go down 1st, or to Congress, there are plenty of food and shopping options."
1989247,43548638,2015-08-20,22195927,Brittany,"Katie was very welcoming and extremely responsive.  I came before check-in time and she accommodated me easily.  Her little dog is very sweet.  Great location!  Felt safe walking around by myself... Lots of parking at her apartment complex.  The bed was super comfortable!  The bathroom and bedroom are pretty small, but this is a great value for what she's charging."
1989247,43733027,2015-08-21,4354491,Jim,I did feel welcomed by Katie and everything was quite nice at the apartment.  
1989247,45091594,2015-08-31,37317831,Leo,"Katie was a great hostess and from my time of booking through my departure was very responsive and welcoming. This was my first time in Austin and Katie provided several recommendations for restaurants and places to go. Katie's location is very convenient and about a 10 minute walk to several restaurants and attractions. The days while I was there were warm for walking so Uber was a logical alternative and most rides to various parts of Austin were less than $5.
Highly recommend staying with Katie!"

1989247,47853236,2015-09-21,23292287,Delvin,Katie did a great job hosting. I needed to come in a little early due to an afternoon wedding and she was able to accommodate for this need. The bedroom nice and the location was in range of downtown Austin and other important hotspots.

3308591,33106025,2015-05-25,15232468,Barry,We enjoyed staying at the Hyde Park house very much and plan to return.  The house was excellent with lots of nice craftsman touches.  The converted attic was a very good living space.  I also liked the Hyde Park neighborhood and Quack's bakery nearby.

She accepted our request within the hour, and she answered all of my questions prior to arrival. She explained clearly how to get in to the house and left us a nice note for when we arrived! The house was in a quiet neighborhood, it was very clean with plenty of room and was very well looked after. We were only there for a night but we enjoyed ourselves!

8343038,49407849,2015-10-03,32377560,Tina,"Helga is real, great, and trustworthy! Her hosting style is the very welcoming, warm & European way. Instructions on how everything works is explained from the very beginning in a clear and concise manor where everyone is put on the same page. She is extremely knowledgeable about many things, especially Austin & how the city tends to behave at certain parts of the day/week. She is also very hospitable with her simple & beautiful breakfasts and creatively thoughtful/caring in providing us with the best possible service she knew how!

The room is simple, clean, spacious, and contains all of what you really need."
8343038,49859804,2015-10-06,45556303,Sibylle,"Das Zimmer war schöner als in den Bildern. In dem Zimmer gab es einen begehbaren Kleiderschrank der uns zu Verfügung stand. Helga hatte auch zwei Äpfel, zwei Wasserflaschen uns Kekse für uns auf dem Nachttisch bereitgestellt.
Das Willkommen war sehr herzlich und Helga hat uns auch persönlich ein wenig durch einen Teil von Austin gezeigt. Das war sehr schön.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Helga hat extra deutsches Brot und Wurst für uns gekauft und wir konnten uns ein Lunch Paket machen.
Alles in allem war es ein schöner Aufenthalt und wir waren traurig nach einer Nacht schon wieder fahren zu müssen."
8343038,50555362,2015-10-12,45560577,Chloe,"It was a pleasure staying with Helga. She is very friendly and made us feel very welcome. She is great for conversation and has a lot of great stories to tell! She was a helpful guide to the city of Austin. She made us lovely breakfasts every morning and asked about our day when we got back home each night. It very much felt like staying with an old friend or someone I've known my whole life. I would recommend her to anyone trying to stay in the Austin area, she was a delight. :)"
8343038,51410091,2015-10-19,46580977,Jason,"We had a quick one-night stay in Austin and Helga was the perfect host. She made us feel extremely welcome, and she was the most pleasant person. She even offered to make us breakfast and coffee, though we had to decline because of our schedule. But just the gesture left quite an impression. Her home was so inviting, and so cozy; we loved it! The location was perfect for our stay, just a mere few minutes from downtown without having to deal with expressways. We will definitely be back and should you have the opportunity, we highly encourage you to engage her in conversation. She's such an interesting person. "
8343038,52263653,2015-10-27,23382358,Manfred,"Our stay at Helga's BnB was very nice. My friend and I traveled to Austin to experience the Formula 1 race at the Circuit Of The Americas. The drive from Helga's place to the event was short and easy. Also the proximity to downtown Austin is a plus.
The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. 
Helga made a nice breakfast for us every day and had many good stories. 
Thank you Helga for having us. 
We wish you all the best for your future."
8343038,52801417,2015-11-01,47551097,Vikram,"This was my first try with Airbnb and Helga has given me a good impression of Airbnb through her hosting. I had to stay in Austin for two days and a night. Ms Helga was so kind and empathetic towards my travel. She provided me a quick lunch as soon as I checked in and provided me another sandwhich for my return trip. 

She is an excellent conversationalist and provides delicious breakfast. Ms.Helga fits the bill for all the characterstics of a great host. I know where I am going to stay when I get back to Austin.  

Thank you Ms.Helga:)"

She left us a few snacks & drinks (a great touch), very clear instructions that covered all our questions, and met us to give us her keys. The house is in a GREAT location & is furnished adorably! My husband loved the video games, especially. We live in Austin and enjoyed this mini-vacation to explore the East side. Thank you so much! We highly recommend staying her house. "
8632448,51351886,2015-10-19,33732135,Lindsey,"Bailey was a fabulous host! She met us on arrival and had a great list of activities to do in the area with food and entertainment recommendations. We used this list our entire stay! Her home is adorable, cute, clean and has everything you need, we especially loved the records! The proximity to downtown is fabulous - only a $5-$7 uber x ride to most places we visited in Austin. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the extra touches she has in her Home."

200346,8434084,2013-10-30,9180826,Paul,"Excellent. Patrick was a fantastic host and the location of the house is excellent with South Congress and all the bars and great independent food places easily in walking distance.  The house was easy to get to from the main highway and perfectly positioned to access the best of what Austin has to offer.  The house itself was beautiful and perfect for our stay, clean and very well equipped.  Our daughter loved feeding the fish each day and the friends we had over to meet us were in awe of our accommodation.

Our host Patrick could not have done more for us, flexible with our arrival and departure times, lending me a bike pump so I could get some air into my bike tyres and leaving out an array of gels ahead of the Austin Ironman 70.3, brilliant.

We will most definitely stay again and highly recommend that anyone we know who is travelling to Austin does the same.

200346,11009007,2014-03-17,4563328,Sara,We were in Austin for work for the SXSW festival and the house was a geat location to be near downtown and close walking to South Congress shops and food. Neighborhood was quiet and clean and Patrick's house was nicely appointed with everything we needed.   Patrick is a great host and has lots of knowledge of Austin and things to do while you are there.  Would definitely stay there again. 
367356,1052641,2012-03-27,1900897,Carol,"Brooke could not have been more helpful, and the house was beautiful.  Great location, and we had a blast!"
367356,1194481,2012-04-28,2147131,Logan,"6 Guys stayed here and we all LOVED IT! Fantastic house with wonderful decor. Not to girly, but still great looking. Classy and warm. Wonderful porch for hanging out for hours and enjoying the weather.
Next Austin trip we will stay here as long as Brooke will have us.
Brooke was awesome. Had everything ready for us in no time and was incredibly kind and helpful."
367356,1391336,2012-05-31,108031,Dustin,"The place was great, very comfortable and clean... the perfect Austin experience"
367356,1732331,2012-07-17,2648503,Ryan,We had a wonderful stay!  Great location and the patio was ideal.  Would definitely stay again!
367356,1835769,2012-07-30,2312436,Krystyn,"We had an awesome time at Brooke's adorable Austin bungalow! The house is absolutely fantastic with every possible amenity you could need! The beds are extremely comfortable, the screen room is amazing (we stayed cool during July heat!) & the house is just incredibly cozy. Definitely like a home away from home. The location is fantastic- this is a quieter neighborhood, but is just a few blocks away from restaurants & nightlife. You get the best of both worlds here! Brooke was a great host too- quick to answer any questions and really made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back!"
367356,2861418,2012-11-12,3320591,Melinda,"Enjoyed our stay! It was nice to have our own space to hang out in. More relaxed than staying in a hotel. Thanks, Brooke!"
367356,3556198,2013-02-16,3156426,Cory,"The cottage is cozy, and very cute.  Perfect size for me, my wife, and our daughter.  The back patio and yard were particularly pleasant.  The neighborhood is quiet, and the house is walking distance to a little cluster of shops (a couple restaurants, a bakery, a grocery store).  It's an easy drive or bus ride to UT or downtown. Brooke was very responsive and pleasant.  Check in/out was a breeze.  I would recommend this place if you like to be close to the action but not right in the middle of it."
367356,5930315,2013-07-22,1779808,Janel,"Great location, quiet neighborhood, close to I-35. Dishes, cooking utensils, and basic seasonings in the kitchen. Great set up for 4 adults. Jack and Jill bathroom. We would definitely stay here again.     "
367356,6303553,2013-08-07,3767867,David,I stayed at Brooke's house for a week with my family.  The location was great and loved walking to the restaurants and market on Duval.  It's a cute neighborhood.  I could have hung out on the sun porch forever.  I can honestly say I miss it!
367356,8712689,2013-11-13,3011406,Ellie,"Stayed in a really cute guest house in Hyde Park in north Austin! It was clean and cozy and perfect for myself and a few family members. 

It was a little weird receiving a separate, extremely long rental agreement that was a requirement of staying there - my first clue that Brooke was a property manager instead of the home owner/renter. All went well though and I would recommend the spot to anyone visiting Austin with a crowd. "
367356,12194790,2014-04-25,11069861,Daniela,The house was great!  We had permission to take our Shih Tzu with us on the trip and the neighborhood was beyond perfect for our morning and afternoon walks.    The yard was a great plus and the enclosed patio become our favorite hangout.  There's shops within walking distance and its super close to jump on the highway to get anywhere.   Brooke was very professional and very accommodating.  
367356,13705971,2014-06-02,15775935,Cristina,"Brooke was great and was easy to get a hold of during our booking process. We were a group of 6 ladies that stayed at the Hyde Park Cottage and we had plenty of room. It was in a great location, near downtown Austin. Pictures can not do this beautiful house any justice. The house was so much more spacious in person. The covered back patio was extremely relaxing and had lots of shade. The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt extremely safe. We absolutely loved the house and would recommend anyone to stay here - it was everything we wanted and more! Can't wait to go back if we ever need a place to stay at in Austin!"
367356,25724631,2015-01-24,25948587,Martha,This is a wonderful and comfortable home! Made our trip so nice! Beds are comfortable!! 
367356,25827970,2015-01-26,10911582,Janna,The house was exactly the way it was described. It was perfect. In a fabulous location and easy to get around from. Brooke was very responsive to emails. 
367356,26113317,2015-02-03,22733364,Garry,"The house was a pleasure to stay in, nice location"
367356,26990097,2015-02-23,16681397,Donna,"Brooke
Thank you so much
Your recommendation for this property was everything you said and more
I enjoyed being in Hyde Park
I came to visit my daughter at UT Austin and enjoyed being in a neighbor and so convenient to the neighborhood restaurants and grocery stores
It you are a fan of Central Market, perfect part of town to be in
My daughter plays ultimate frisbee and being close to the athletic fields was a plus
I am looking forward to being a repeat customer"
367356,29686570,2015-04-11,9784179,Cameron,"Great place, tucked in a quiet corner of Hyde Park. Great access to downtown, as well as surrounding neighborhoods. My daughter loved playing in the backyard! Brooke was great and left out a pack and play for us upon arrival. Everything was clean and easy. 

Would rent from again. "
367356,30659641,2015-04-26,1897296,Julie,"We loved our stay at this bungalow.  The neighborhood is charming and conveniently located to HEB for groceries and downtown is easily accessible with a car.  The screened in back porch with the white lights is where we spent much of our time. There was coffee at the house for us which was a nice touch as were the 2 bicycles!  The kitchen has modern appliances and we appreciated being able to do laundry during our stay.  Also used the grill, another nice touch.  A couple of opportunities for improvement--the handles in the shower kept falling off, the patio table and chairs pictured are weathered and dirty, there was only one frying pan in the kitchen, it was dirty and old/poor condition. Easy enough things to correct.
This house is run by a property management company, Emerson Properties, so not much in the way of personal interaction--that piece felt more transactional than my other Airbnb experiences.  BUT,  as I said initially, we thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of this house and really looked forward to ""going home"" at the end of our days in Austin! "
367356,32298287,2015-05-16,32358785,Lauren,"We tried Airbnb last minute when our house was being remodeled. We found the cottage and were quickly able to reserve it and move in TV same day. The cottage is tucked away in a quiet and safe neighborhood with a great Austiny vibe. It was very close (walking or biking distance) to restaurants, shops and grocery stores. The cottage had a huge yard, screened in porch and two bikes. We walked and biked around. It was so much fun exploring a different part of town than what we are use to. The cottage was clean and comfy. Brooke was awesome!  My husband, our 9 month old son and our two small dogs had plenty of room here. We loved it so much we might make this an annual ""stay cation"" spot. High recommend this place! "
367356,32546951,2015-05-19,31373113,Tiffany,"Great house, cute neighborhood.  Felt private for being in the middle of the city!"
367356,35845957,2015-06-22,4931381,Teddy,"Place was perfect for 2 couples. Nice back patio as well. Screened in porch too! Good sized kitchen and living area to hang out during down times as well. $5 uber to downtown and different destination spots in Austin. Kitchen was well stocked with coffee, seasonings, etc. Would definitely recommend. "
367356,38763998,2015-07-18,7816878,Jenica,Lovely little house. 
367356,45253962,2015-09-01,18297936,Kristen,"This house in Austin was so adorable, super clean, had a great backyard, and was close to a lot of fun areas in Austin. Everything we could've needed in the house was there and we loved hanging out with the xmas lights in the screened in patio. The check in was done through a rental organization which made everything really clear with instructions for checking in and out.

We would DEFINITELY stay here again. Thank you!"
367356,49710270,2015-10-05,35696876,Sara,We had a great time at this darling house!  Spent a lot of time on the back porch!  Community was super friendly and welcoming!  Check-in and check-out were easy and it was exactly what we expected!  Great location! Will definitely stay here again when we make our next Austin trip!!
72706,201336,2011-03-17,387187,Brian,"It's a very nice house. Almost everything about it is wonderful. It has a nice spacious kitchen if you cook, a very convenient washer/dryer combo, and it's a quick bus or bike ride from downtown. 

Just beware the trains! There's a freight line a few blocks away that runs 24/7. Was not much of a problem for me, but occasionally I was stirred awake by a horn that rang loud and close for a long time (from rather inconsiderate engineers). Most of the train horns are just odd and soft background noise. Earplugs would totally do the trick if you're a light sleeper."
72706,204748,2011-03-21,390643,Mary,This truly is an adorable bungalow. The location was wonderful. We were close to plenty of restaurants and a wonderful coffee shop. The buses in Austin ran smoothly and the cost of only $2.00 for the entire day made it an easy and affordable way to get around the city. The house was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Susan's house is close to a train but was not bad at all. Susan even provided ear plugs just in case. They were not necessary. I would stay here again. It was a great trip! 
72706,212493,2011-03-29,427576,Jessica,"I rented Susan's place for three people and it was very comfortable, very clean, and in a great part of town.   She and her brother were very responsive and responsible about getting us settled.  Thank you!"
72706,220441,2011-04-08,422766,Joshua,"two of my friends and I, stayed here over the course of a week. And had an amazing time, close to Congress and a revitalized S. First. As well as astonishingly close to S. Lamar. Also the neighbors were very welcoming and charming as well. Great Great place."
72706,269692,2011-05-18,540284,Madeline,"House was impeccably clean and nice, and Susan was very helpful and very easy to coordinate with before our arrival. House has a coffee and ice cream shop a block away and is walkable to restaurants and shops on South Congress Ave. I was there with three friends, and we all enjoyed ourselves and would recommend/stay again. "
72706,277359,2011-05-23,407361,Mike,This home was very clean and welcoming! Susan had a guide waiting for us listing all we needed to know for our stay. The beds were really comfortable and we had the best sleep we've had in quite some time. The location is amazingly close to everything too! Overall a very positive experience and would definately stay there again! 
72706,339083,2011-06-27,55452,Ryan,"Susan's Bungalow was a terrific.  Allison and I enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a place in Central Austin.

Neighborhood/Location:  The home is centrally located in a very cool, quiet neighborhood.  I should qualify quiet as there is a train that passes a few blocks over on a not infrequent basis.  That said, I never heard it once I was asleep.  If you are a light sleeper, keep this in mind and pack some earplugs.  Everything--food, music, food...are all within  a quick drive, bike ride, or, in milder weather, walkable.  Once Over Coffee, a solid coffee shop with street cred among barristas, is minutes away.

Home:  First, this place is as immaculate as a place can get without losing its character.  Bedrooms offer comfy beds and the backyard is a pleasant, bamboo bordered oasis. 

We'll definitely check Susan's availability on our next trip to Austin.

 "
72706,345374,2011-07-01,193285,Julie,"Everything was exactly as stated right down to the earplugs :)  The house was darling, very clean, comfortable and well furnished.  The train nearby was just not a big deal for any of us.  If we ever get back to Austin this would be our first choice again!"
72706,361027,2011-07-08,733756,Kandis,"Great location, great house, great host! My husband and I stayed here with our 8 month old baby, and it was perfect for our stroller walks to S. Congress, S. 1st and S. Lamar. It was also super close to Barton Springs, Zilker area and downtown. Susan had everything we needed on hand and was friendly, easy going and gracious. We will use Airbnb every time we travel. So much better than staying in a stuffy hotel!"
72706,367289,2011-07-11,558246,Teri,The host canceled my reservation 66 days before arrival.
72706,388812,2011-07-22,231088,Gerald,"My family's stay in Susan's house was fantastic. From start to finish, Susan was accessible and helpful. Her house is clean, well appointed, homey, and is in an ideal location in Austin. Our stay could not have been better, and we will stay at Susan's whenever we are in Austin and the house is available."
72706,409449,2011-07-31,137807,Jessica,"Great little house, in a wonderful central location. Took a morning run through the Bouldin Creek greenbelt, then walked 1 block for my morning latte. Also checked out her neighborhood sustainable library, an enviromental science experiment/lab.

Very good host,  highly recommended.
"
72706,472733,2011-08-24,954093,Jason,"Although we never actually met Susan, she was very nice and accommodating via e-mail and text and the house was perfect for what we needed!  She even left us a fresh pitcher of tea in the fridge.  Great location, clean, comfortable - highly recommend this Bungalow!"
72706,501722,2011-09-05,148954,Emily,We had such a nice time in Austin at Susan's house.  It's a perfect location for all those cool South Austin places you must see while there.   We would definitely stay there again!
72706,585145,2011-10-01,823115,Kevin,Enjoyed the stay at Susan's house everthing was as advertised. It was clean and neat and the location was ideal would stay here again.  Recommended.
72706,636913,2011-10-17,362065,Jen,"Clean, nice place to stay in South Austin.  Host gave great instructions."
72706,680798,2011-11-01,71661,Carrie,"Susan was very pleasant to work with, instructions on checking in/out were clear and easy to understand.  Her house is in a great location near the popular and trendy SoCo area and a quick ride to downtown.  The house has all the comforts of home, comfortable real beds, clean towels, cable, fans in every room, clean modern kitchen, stereo, etc.  The only draw back may be that it's located near train tracks and while we were there the train passed several times and in the early morning.  The house is so nice and in a great location the train wouldn't keep us from renting again.  Thank you Susan!"
72706,704691,2011-11-08,1358395,Sierra,"Susan's South Austin home was in an eclectic neighborhood. It was fun walking through it to the festival. The house was neat and clean with an amazing kitchen/entertaining area. I loved looking out the back windows to bamboo; it was like I was in a tree house. Our stay was comfortable. Susan was accommodating with our arrival/ departure time and kept in communication with us if we needed anything.  

I really shouldn't say all of this because I would rather it be available for me and my friends only*."
72706,715648,2011-11-14,1108622,Carl,"My friends and I had a great experience in Susan's house while we were in Austin for a wedding.  This was our first time doing a site like AirBnB, and we had a wonderful time.  The house was clean, accessible, and very homey.  Susan's home is in a great, friendly neighborhood with plenty of amenities around.  Though we never actually met Susan, she made it know that she was available with problems at any time."
72706,765552,2011-12-05,1416354,Robert,"Great location in South Austin.  Susan was a great host, the house was immaculant, and the accomadation were comfortable."
72706,779361,2011-12-12,1399826,Linda,"The house was as described.  The house was clean and well ordered.  The beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable but the sofa bed needs a sleeping bag on top of it for extra padding.

The rental, access, and exit were also as described and easy.  The homeowner allowed us extra time to check out on the last day which was a nice accommodation, and she was very responsive and pleasant.

Also excellent was the speed with which we received our damage deposit back.

We would rent this house again."
72706,864634,2012-01-16,1374393,Linda,"This is, indeed, a charming bungalow.  My husband and I stayed for a few days before and during our daughter's Austin wedding.  We were centrally located to all of our venues and to great restaurants.  The house was comfortable for cooking and eating as well as for heating those left-overs from great Austin eateries."
72706,936082,2012-02-21,507309,Kseniya,"Susan's house was perfect for us. It's conveniently located in a central neighborhood, and close to more food and shops than we had time to visit. The house itself is compact and immaculate, with everything we needed on-hand in terms of linens, maps, etc. The train that passes by a block or so away is audible at times throughout the night, but as I'm a heavy sleeper it didn't bother me. Using some of the earplugs she had in the kitchen might be a good idea for lighter sleepers. Susan was a great hostess, giving us helpful directions as well as her cell number if we needed it. Would love to stay here again! "
72706,956393,2012-02-28,1634915,Collin,"The house was perfect for our four day weekend in Austin.  We really enjoyed our stay!  The house is super cute and is located in what we consider to be a great part of Austin. The house was very clean and Susan provided all the details we needed to have an enjoyable stay.  We appreciated her detailed info about the house -- what to do, what not to do, where everything is -- and also the extra info about the neighborhood and the city.  The beds and pillows were very comfy.  The kitchen was fantastic.  The bathroom and shower were wonderful.  We felt very comfortable in this bungalow.  There was plenty of space for three adults and one toddler.  

Yes, there is a train VERY close by.  But Susan deserves a lot of credit for being up front about the train; I greatly appreciated NOT being surprised upon hearing the train whistle.  The train really wasn't a problem at all.  We traveled with our 15 month old kiddo ... everyone slept great and no one required use of the earplugs.    "
72706,971660,2012-03-05,1695715,Lorri,"Susan's charming bungalow provided a cozy and very comfortable place for us to stay ( 4 adults in our party) on our recent trip to Austin. It is conveniently located near downtown and the beautiful Zilker Park area.Her place was very clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need to feel at home.

Susan was great! She was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Really a wonderful host!

Sounds like the neighborhood is working to create a ""Quiet Zone"" to eliminate some of the noise from the  nearby train. We were awakened several times on the first night we were there but the noise decreased on subsequent nights. In all fairness, we are all from a sleepy little town so we are probably more sensitive to the noise than others.

Overall the place was great and I would stay there again!"
72706,1012079,2012-03-18,1269564,K-,"I recently stayed at Susan's Charming Bungalow with a few friends during the SXSW music festival and had a wonderful time. This was in large part due to Susan's detailed preparation of her comfortable and cute home. She left us with clear directions answering essentially every question we could have - from bus routes to local eateries to WIFI passwords. Everything was ready for our use as soon as we arrived. On top of all that, it is in the nicest little neighborhood. The area is quiet and friendly - the perfect respite from the insanity of downtown 6th street! The house is about a block away from the bus that will take you into the central city (or, about a 10 dollar cab ride). We had a blast. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend Susan's Charming Bungalow to others on this site."
72706,1052090,2012-03-27,394866,Marie,"I recently stayed with three other friends at Susan's place, and we all agreed that we couldn't have enjoyed our experience more. Not only was our house exactly as it looks in the photos posted on the site, but the location was ideal for walking or a quick bus ride to everything we wanted to do and see. Susan was available throughout our stay to help with any problems, although we ended up not having any! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin in the future."
72706,1246983,2012-05-08,1990907,Molly,"Susan's house is located in a lovely neighborhood that's very central to anything you may want to see in Austin. 

We had a car, but each morning we walked around the neighborhood, and got coffee at ONCE OVER COFFEE on 1st St. South (just a six block stroll --awesome coffee). The beds were VERY comfortable and everything was neat and welcoming.

Susan was friendly, accommodating, and very responsive. Lovely stay.
"
72706,1781622,2012-07-23,1562374,Linda,"I stayed at Susan's place with my 3 of my friends, it was very spacious for all 4 of us. The place is very cute and homey and we enjoyed being there versus a cramped hotel room. I stayed in the room with the queen size bed, which was super comfortable. The only thing that I ran into was the noise from the train in the middle of night, if your a light sleeper the sound will wake you up, but other than that the stay was great. Susan was sweet and easy to communicate with, she left us a list of entertainment and eateries near by. I would definitely recommend staying at Susan's place for your visit to Austin if you want to be in the heart of the city and in the middle of all the action. "
72706,1842348,2012-07-30,1622594,Kristina,"Susan was an excellent host!  She kept very good communication with an excellent time response.  Her bungalow was extremely clean and tidy.  Not even a speck of dust anywhere.  Susan was very accommodating and made sure every guest was taken care of from towels and extra bedding/blankets to bath amenities.  Our stay at her bungalow was very relaxing.  Great place, very cozy, extremely clean and GREAT location!!  Susan will definitely take care of you and your guests.  She had great recommendations of where to eat and what to experience in Austin.  My stay in Austin was more than I can ask for.  Will most definitely refer this home to others.  Thanks for everything, Susan!!"
72706,2253273,2012-09-10,373771,Sarah,"We stayed at the bungalow for a sisters' retreat and it was perfect for the four of us. The couch was definitely a comfortable third bed. The location is great, being close to S Congress and S Lamar. The porch was also a nice place to unwind and enjoy a glass of wine in the Texas evening. I  slept in the back bedroom and was awoken by a train at 4am. After putting in earplugs, I slept fine for the rest of the night."
72706,2502953,2012-10-04,3099804,Michal,"What a great place! as good as it looks in the pictures.  And the location - minutes from great food, music and people watching - particularly downtown and SoCo.  One of our favorites was stilling on the front porch with a couple a beers and watching the world go by.  Kitchen is well supplied and bedrooms are spacious.  "
72706,2537585,2012-10-08,3240623,Andrea,"Susan was a wonderful host, and her house was very charming and comfortable, and in an excellent location. I couldn't have asked for a better experience for my first time using AirBnB! "
72706,2737159,2012-10-28,3474083,Amy,"We spent four days at the house this past week for a girls trip to Austin.  The house was just a described and in a wonderful location.  We drove into Austin so we had a car, but two nights we used a cab and went to Soco and 6th Street.  We had a wonderful stay.  We only noticed the train the first night and the earplugs Susan left were helpful."
72706,2764514,2012-10-30,3863895,Angela,"Just got back from staying at Susan's cute house in South Austin.  It was very clean and comfy. Excellent location. Beds are awesome. 
Susan had everything laid out well with instructions. I most definitely would stay again. "
72706,2854965,2012-11-11,3484046,Derek,"Apart from the fact that this house is in an excellent location and extremely clean, Susan is truly an amazing host.  I had a personal emergency while there (which had nothing to do with her place) and, not knowing anyone else in Austin, I turned to her.  She answered the call late in the evening and came to our aid.  We cannot say enough good things about her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her house to all our friends who travel to this city.  Thanks again, Susan!  "
72706,2949517,2012-11-24,3364336,Henry,"Very clean, great location, will consider for another visit"
72706,2995489,2012-11-30,365546,Dave,"We chose this location largely because of the many positive reviews.  Everything was good (as expected) and there were no surprises.  The bungalow suited our group of three very well, and it was fun to sample life in this neighborhood of Austin.  We were aware of the sounds from the railroad nearby, but none of us was disturbed by them."
72706,3064707,2012-12-11,2934525,Susan,"Susan helped to make our stay in Austin a very enjoyable one.  Her house was clean and very comfortable as well as being very cheery as it was decorated nicely for Christmas.  The location was perfect, just two blocks from a great community restaurant and coffee house as well as several other interesting businesses a few blocks away.  The city is a short ride away.  We will be back."
72706,3205671,2013-01-01,1558073,Kevin,Susan's home is in a great location and the inside is beautiful.  I highly recommend it.  
72706,3514425,2013-02-11,2148641,Sara,"Susan was really great!! Before the stay she was communicative on where to go and instructions. She was organized and very helpful which took a lot of the stress off us. Her house was beautiful and cozy and in a great area. We had a wonderful time and Susan thought of everything, including closet space and drawers for us to use, towels for us to take a shower and magazines for us to read. I would highly recommend Susan and her house to anyone. "
72706,3580743,2013-02-19,507309,Kseniya,"We had another great stay here; the house has everything we needed, and the location can't be beat. Hopefully we'll be back next year!"
72706,3778813,2013-03-14,3041592,Cindy,"The house is lovely, well appointed, and in a great neighborhood. It was easy to get around without a car and we would certainly recommend everything about this house except for the train. It's really close and did wake some of us up as it runs all night. Susan does have earplugs available for her guests, as well as just about everything else you might need, but if you're a light sleeper, it might be a problem. Otherwise, the house is great and we'd stay there again."
72706,3885375,2013-03-25,203363,Bryan,"We had a great time at Susan's place.  Very clean, comfortable and located within walking distance of some nice bars and restaurants.  
There is a train that comes in the early hours that make disturb light sleepers.  It did not bother us however"
72706,4116468,2013-04-11,429155,Drew,"Lovely stay at Susan's South-Austin Cottage.  It was simple and easy to communicate with Susan.  The location of the house is in between Soco and Lamar, which both have awesome hangouts and restaurants.  We opted not to drive, the #5 bus is a 2 minute walk away and comes every 30 minutes or so.  The beds were really comfortable, and the house is cozy and welcoming.  Thanks Susan!"
72706,4793390,2013-05-26,6261689,Warren,Wonderful place.  Very comfortable beds and sofa.  Great neighborhood to walk and discover cafes and good food.  Very convenient location.  I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
72706,4832251,2013-05-28,5641697,Kathryn,"Susan's house was a great place to stay while in Austin. She was easy to communicate with and provided us with lots of helpful information about the neighborhood, public transportation and more!"
72706,6028993,2013-07-27,7199148,Johan,"The house of Susan is located in a neighbourhood not far from downtown Austin. The house is small, but has enough room for 6 persons to live in for a few days. The garden in the back is a bit disappointed, it is not suitable for sitting. The porch however is ok, especially when it is getting darking and the temperature is still very good.
The beds are very good, even the sleeping couch in the living room is ok. The toilet and shower are ok as well.
Downtown Austin is not very touristic. The only place a daytime is the Capitol, a very nice building. The House and the Senat can be vistited, even during meeting hours.
Austin is getting alive in the evening, when the restaurants and bars are open and there is music everywhere."
72706,6555309,2013-08-17,1857540,Joakim,"Absolutely great! Perfect place to explore Austin from, easy to park outside, really cozy interior, and a nice front porch to kick back on. We loved the city and Susan's place, and we'd love to return anytime."
72706,7925140,2013-10-08,6150378,New,"We had a great stay in Austin at Susan's house!  She was easy to reach if we had any questions.  There were plenty of great restaurants within walking distance and we were able to hop on the bus pretty easily.
I would definitely recommend staying at Susan's!"
72706,8092335,2013-10-15,8924276,Gretchen,"This house is in a great location, walking distance from several good restaraunts and a coffee shop. The house was comfortable and immaculately clean. I highly recommend staying here!"
72706,9010319,2013-12-01,10241606,Kumar,"Stayed here for two nights. Very convenient location. The house is very nice and the kitchen appears to be recently renovated. All amenities were provided. Apart from the proximity to railway lines, we could not find anything wrong with this place. The neighborhood is very pretty and has a park and fresh-water stream less than a block away. We had a lovely time and will recommend this place. "
72706,9288601,2013-12-18,5624963,Joah,"Susan's place was super cozy and quaint. The Bouldin Creek neighborhood is nestled between a lot of good places to eat, shop, etc so it was perfect for me. "
72706,9468575,2013-12-30,10032496,Sam,The place was pretty good and it fit all of us. She provided us very detailed instructions about the house and the surroundings. 
72706,9845674,2014-01-13,1110475,Meghan,"Susan's home is beautiful, cozy and in an amazing location!  We really enjoyed staying here and would definitely stay here again!"
72706,9958485,2014-01-21,6005760,Danielle,"Susan was a great host, as she was highly organized and informative. Besides pamphlets in the house, Susan emailed us a list of great local restaurants. My husband and I walked everywhere! The house has a great location close to delicious eateries.  "
72706,10270114,2014-02-10,7675291,Andrew,Here for a weekend with my wife and another couple and the house was a perfect place for us to stay and relax for the weekend. Really great location to get to south congress or 6th st or really anywhere downtown. Couldn't be more pleased with my first airbnb experience.
72706,10355423,2014-02-15,780226,Amy,"A wonderful stay!  Susan has stocked her home with everything you could need.  The location is wonderful as well, with a coffee shop, park, and awesome public library in short walking distance.  I recommend it highly.  Thanks, Susan!"
72706,10534202,2014-02-24,10412839,Brianna,We very much enjoyed our stay at Susan's house in Austin. The neighbourhood is lovely and close to a number of shops and restaurants. Susan was great at responding immediately and offered assistance while we were there. The only draw back is the proximity to the rail line - but a great place to stay in Austin none-the-less!
72706,10724599,2014-03-04,4445651,Adam,"We had a great stay in Susan's home. Although we didn't meet Susan in person, she was prompt with communication and everything in the house was just as described. Nice location and neighborhood. Would be happy to stay here again!"
72706,10954173,2014-03-15,8083478,Nancy,"Susan is buttoned up. Everything was as described.  True to Austin, houses are small but comfortable. She has everything one wants to have handy. The location is convenient.  Also true to Austin, trains are a presence.  (They weren't bad for us- we like the sound of trains and train horns...)"
72706,11122591,2014-03-21,13239594,Robson,"Susan's house was in a great location!  Easy to find and close to restaurants and food trucks!  The house was equipped with everything we needed!  Extra, clean towels and all!  We would stay there again!!!"
72706,11178450,2014-03-24,11842292,Sukanya,"Had a great experience at Susan's house. Everything was walking distance including several food trucks, bars and restaurants in the South Congress area and downtown. The place itself was clean, comfortable and very cute.  I would definitely recommend this place for those visiting Austin. The proximity and neighborhood was great!"
72706,11793913,2014-04-15,11622247,Tom,"We really enjoyed our stay here. It's a very comfortable property, 2 good bedrooms and a very nice living room and kitchen area. It is ideal for trips to South Congress or to the numerous restaurants on South 1st St. The street is very quiet too.
"
72706,12129123,2014-04-23,12421970,Denny,"Susan's place is very nice and comfy, and she was an immense help going above and beyond the call of duty to help ensure our stay was a great one.  "
72706,12327468,2014-04-29,11203136,Nick,"Yes,  it is walkable, charming,central and clean . Our Hostess did everything she could to fix things after they went wrong. The house was double booked on our first night but were fortunate enough to find alternative accommodation at my brother's house as looking for a hotel would have been a nightmare. The second day  there was a problem with the AC which was meditated with temporary AC. There is a very loud freight train that runs during the night. Susan did leave a local bottle of wine for our trouble but there was nothing breakfasty except ground coffee in the freezer & dried creamer in the cupboard… a bit more would have been a nice touch. 
"
72706,12567057,2014-05-05,14249343,Lindsey,"Susan was very helpful! Her home was clean, charming, and in a great location! "
72706,12683779,2014-05-08,12181148,Beth,"Susan's home is in a great location and Susan was very easy to work with. She responded quickly to any texts I sent and supplied plenty of information and tips for us. The home is nicely appointed and was very clean. There is a nearby train that was a minor annoyance but it did not disrupt our sleep. Overall, I would recommed both Susan and her home. If you want great tacos, including breakfast or take out, the nearby Torchy's recommended by my friend, is not to be missed. 
"
72706,12836153,2014-05-12,14009663,Kevin,"The house was in a great location for our purposes (close to Downtown and the wedding venue).  Neighborhood is unique, with many different styles of homes and a great mixture of trees and plants.  The beds and all other accomodations were comfortable.  The train that comes by was loud enough to wake me briefly a couple times in the middle of the night, but I knew what to expect from other reviews and it was not enough to detract from the experience.  Susan sent great information about the home prior to rental.  Overall very positive experience. "
72706,13065561,2014-05-19,12115989,Joni,We were very happy with our stay...close to everything...very cozy home with many amenities...would stay there again...
72706,13278432,2014-05-24,3298584,Kiri,"Susan was very easy to communicate with and was willing to work with us. The house was very clean and well kept. The house was located within walking distance to several lovely restaurants and hiking trails. It was a short bike ride, or slightly longer walk to South Congress. We definitely enjoyed our stay! "
72706,14328255,2014-06-16,11271507,Tonya,"Susan, and her home, were absolutely fantastic! Due to unplanned circumstances, we were in need of last minute accommodations and as I had been in contact with her previously, she was able to help make her home available to us.The home is wonderful and very inviting, close to great restaurants, bars, shops and a quick cab ride to downtown. Plenty of space for the four of us to have our privacy and a comfortable living and dining area to come together and relax. 

There was some noise from the trains the first night, but after visiting some of  the nearby bars and restaurants, the noise faded into the evening air as we did into the comfortable beds! 

Susan responded quickly to messages both through AirBNB as well as via text once we had arrived. 

We cannot wait to return to Austin and hope to stay with Susan again. 

"
72706,14500133,2014-06-20,5283170,Hal,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
72706,15595932,2014-07-12,13871521,Joey,Great home and perfect location!  Susan was very easy to communicate with and met all our needs.  We really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.  Thank you for making our trip so wonderful.
72706,16281095,2014-07-24,16306687,Jomichael,The host required I contact her and her assistant.  That was very annoying as I was constantly having to work with two people to make the arrangements. The host kept bothering me  to try to get me to stay an extra night then when I asked for a noon check out the assistant tried to tell me they were booked. 
72706,16493137,2014-07-28,1968618,James & Lori,"Susan's place is really nice. It's well set up, has awesome AC (important in the hot Texas summer) and the neighborhood is great. Just down the block is a city park, and you are easy walking distance to great coffee shops, and the best cupcake place in Austin.   The back yard is fenced as well, so we were able to let our dog Sam run around while we sat out back without worrying about him running into the street.  The house is near a railroad crossing and trains do occasionally go by and blow their horns at night but it's not a problem:  if you're a light sleeper just bring some earplugs and you'll be fine. We would be happy to stay here again.  "
72706,17541825,2014-08-13,15424106,Mark,"The home was clean and well-represented by the photos and description. The neighborhood felt peaceful with very light foot and vehicle traffic. The train passed several times during the day and night, but wasn't too disruptive. Susan and her assistant anticipated and were attentive to requests. We would be pleased to stay here again."
72706,17663593,2014-08-15,7552064,Rob,"We had a great time.  Susan's place was clean, welcoming, warm and homey. We really liked the kitchen. I'd recommend Susan's place to anyone looking for a great rental when in Austin. Super location. "
72706,17888042,2014-08-18,19469044,Marcia,"It was great, comfortable beds.  Great location for any downtown activities. We will definitely stay here again."
72706,19098668,2014-09-06,4970299,Laura,"First time in Austin and Susans place was a great choice. The a great living place, great kitchen, nice bedrooms, awesome location for places to eat and close to alot. We will for sure be returning to Susans place if we ever come back to Austin. 
"
72706,19753809,2014-09-17,1454629,Wisey,"House was great. Clean and as described. Off street parking and plenty of on street parking. Host even left us granola bars and a fruit bowl. Would stay again. Check in was easy, good communication."
72706,20336462,2014-09-28,18100867,Brad,"Everything about the house was exactly as described. It was comfortable, spacious, and the amenities were far better than a hotel. Susan checked in regularly, and when a particularly nasty storm caused the hot water to disappear, she did everything she could to get it fixed and gave us a refund for one day for the inconvenience. I would highly recommend Susan's lovely home if you're traveling to Austin. I certainly intend to next year. "
72706,21209067,2014-10-13,20485211,Jacob,"Awesome location! You can't beat the location for the price. You have some of Austin's best eats all in a short 5-7 minute walk. The house is comfortable, cozy, bright and in a good neighborhood. I would stay here again!"
72706,21393462,2014-10-16,4095106,Caroline,"I thought the house was really sweet. It was very cute; I loved the setting/location, a side street with little traffic. (Loved that huge tree in the front yard!)  It was very ""Austin""; it has a nice vibe!"
72706,21627835,2014-10-20,13007450,Kayla,"Three of us stayed for a short weekend trip at Susan's the house was adorable, everything was clean the beds were comfortable we had plenty if space. Communicating with Susan and her assistant was easy they responded quickly. The location was great the first night we walked to a bar called one two one they had great live music and excellent bartenders. It's about a 5 minute drive to downtown if that. I would recommend staying at Susan's she is an excellent host."
72706,22333879,2014-11-03,6276011,Matt & Suzanne,"Our stay at Susan's house was great, the house is in a good part of Austin which is very close to the South Congress area but far enough away not to be caught up in all the madness when you want to retire for the evening.  The home itself is very comfortable and has all the amenities you could want.  Susan's communication was very good and she was accommodating of our requests.  There is a train line close to the house which does sound its horn through day and night but Susan has provided a 'sound machine' in each of the bedrooms to combat the noise.  We would stay again."
72706,22430302,2014-11-06,14286725,Jim,"Susan's house was absolutely perfect for our stay; we were 2 couples with a few toddlers. The location was terrific for the local neighbourhoods, with a small park and playground for the little ones right next to the house. The house was kitted out with everything we needed, so a fine place to stay"
72706,22685148,2014-11-11,3083866,Justine,"The host was very responsive to my inquires and the instructions were clear.  The property was as described and very clean.  The property was modern, inside furniture and decorations were very nice.  The beds were somewhat comfortable, the mattresses could probably be updated."
72706,22860254,2014-11-16,22310228,Emily,"We were very pleased with our experience at Susans. Everything was as described- very clean, close to attractions, and very comfortable. There were 5 of us (4 adults and a baby) and there was plenty of room for all of us. Also- the neighborhood was quiet enough for the baby. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin!"
72706,23834162,2014-12-12,2011222,Caroline,We had a lovely stay. When we arrived at the house it was very warm and welcoming. The house was very clean and bright and the location was awesome. Checking in and out was very easy and Susan left very clear instructions for how to use everything. All in all it made our stay in Austin a pleasurable one. 
72706,24285353,2014-12-24,3464845,Rustin,Great location in Austin. Perfect size. It was clean and functional. Highly recommend this spot!
72706,24400104,2014-12-28,17108230,James,"We had a great time. The house itself and overall stay experience was as advertised. Cozy, comfortable, good location, and pretty quiet (except for a few dogs on the street who seem to be vocal at times). It's also worth mentioning that it's a few blocks from the train tracks so you do hear trains passing through from time to time; It wasn't an issue for us but definitely noticeable.  
Very nice little porch to sit on and have a glass of coffee/tea.  We would definitely stay there again. 
"
72706,24843457,2015-01-03,49160,Adam,"Not a great experience. The booking process started off with the host raising the price after we insta-booked, stating that it was supposed to be listed higher since we were booking over a holiday (new years).  It wasn't enough that I felt the need to look elsewhere, but in hindsight I wish I would have. 

I'll start with the good things. The location was really great. There's plenty of good restaurants around, and it was easy for us to get downtown or anywhere else we needed to go during our stay. We rented a car, and I'd recommend you do too. The host is very communicative, and responds quickly. Check in and check out were really easy. It does have the stuff you'd want in renting a house. The laundry was nice to have. There's a fridge, and enough space for 4+ people.

The house however leaves a little to be desired. To be fair, we had terrible weather while we were there, and that likely skewed our view of things. It wasn't nearly as charming as the photos inside or out. When we got into the house, it was really musty smelling and we had to go buy candles to make it smell okay. The house is oddly decorated as well. The beds and furnishings are all dated and it adds up to make you feel like the owners don't care a lot about this house. The linens on the beds seem like hand-me-down sheets, and the towels provided were dingy. 

If you're not particular about aesthetics, or aroma, this place will probably be just fine for you. If you like to stay somewhere as nice or nicer than your own home while on vacation though, I'd suggest you look elsewhere. "
72706,25097106,2015-01-06,24423303,Lindsay,"The house was perfect for our group of three and could have easily accommodated one or two more people. The beds were super comfortable and there was a lot of space in the house to spread out. We had little contact with the hosts, but it was all pleasant. The house is certainly walkable to South Congress, but it is deep into a neighborhood (which is fine, just notable). We drove almost everywhere which worked for the trip. If I was coming back here with a group, I would definitely stay here again. "
72706,25350491,2015-01-13,14114652,Leah,"My husband and I stayed in Susan's home for a bicycle race at Zilker Park. The location was great and close to everything we needed. We were pleased with the accommodations. Thanks, Susan! "
72706,25785017,2015-01-26,4251585,Doug,We had a great experience at Susan's place.  Most issues were addressed up front in a very helpful email. We had a small issue finding blankets for the person sleeping on the couch but Susan's assistant quickly responded. The location is amazing and the house is clean. I recommend staying at her place. 
72706,25931416,2015-01-30,7581611,Sarah,"Susan has a lovely home in Austin.  Both Susan and Natalia, who manages the place, were good communicators.  We asked to extend our trip due to the blizzard in NYC and she was very quick to respond and work it out so we could stay longer.  The beds are very comfortable and the location is fantastic.  We traveled with our two little girls and it was wonderful to have a playground one block away for down time in between excursions.  We definitely recommend this happy little home to future guests. 
"
72706,27639457,2015-03-09,1025137,Andi,"The host was very helpful -- she or her assistant answered emails immediately and provided helpful information about the house and the area. The house wasn't luxurious but it was cute and comfortable and had all the basic amenities you would need. There were a couple of snags - the heat kept resetting to 40 degrees, but Susan was responsive when we realized what was happening and asked for help and it was fixed. (And hopefully others won't have this problem as it's not usually in the 30's in Austin!)  And the door was a bit hard to open and close but we figured out the trick-- you have to pull the door a bit. Overall a great Airbnb stay! "
72706,27813597,2015-03-12,17639671,Justin,"The house was exactly as advertised.  Clean and ready for arrival.  The location couldn't be better, walking distance to many of Austin's best restaurants!  Susan was an excellent host!  We will definitely stay there again!"
72706,28417073,2015-03-23,28582536,Omar,"Love the location!! Love the house, exactly as described! I was in Austin for SXSW location was perfect. Far enough from DT that ur away from all the noise but close enough to walk, or a cheap taxi fair. Will definitely consider this property for my next Austin trip!! "
72706,30277811,2015-04-20,25476068,Josh,The place was awesome! The house was located in a great part of Austin. It close to everything. 
72706,30708054,2015-04-26,9425164,Sean,We had a great time at this house. Everything we wanted to be close to was within 5 minutes at the most. We used Uber quite often and most rides were from $5-$7 each way. It's the perfect place to get away but still be close to everything. I would stay here again. 
72706,30921065,2015-04-29,13278470,Jeffrey,"Great communication, the place was as advertised, and everything was smooth and easy.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it with pleasure to anyone .  Btw, the new keyless entry makes the description about keys moot - it couldn't have been easier, and the place was close to everything we wanted to do, both work and  fun.  Definitely add it to the ""this is what makes the airbnb community work!"" list..."
72706,31333254,2015-05-04,1885056,Kate,"Susan's home was charming, well kept and really convenient to many of the sites of Austin! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and all of the preparation was made so easy by Susan and her assistant Natalia. We knew exactly what to expect on arrival, and the house was just as described. Susan and Natalia were extremely responsive before and during our stay and we were impressed with the level of hospitality! In addition it was a super convenient location - very walkable to South First and South Congress streets and amidst some charming residential neighborhoods with very cute homes. We would absolutely stay here again! The only thing I would note is that we had originally planned to have 5 of us visiting, but 2 were unable to make it so it was just 3 of us. I think if we had had 5, it would have been a tight squeeze. The bathroom is pretty tight and it would have been very tight to have an air mattress set up anywhere in the house. I think it's the perfect size for 4 or less. Overall, a fantastic weekend in Austin and many many thanks to Susan for her hospitality!!"
72706,31877543,2015-05-11,4601784,New,"Excellent location- the neighborhood is close in and very interesting.  Lots of great spots within walking reach and easy to find.   Directions and follow up about the details were excellent.   House was clean and well maintained.  I'd certainly recommend it.

72706,32936016,2015-05-23,31172641,Juan,Great host
72706,33475411,2015-05-28,27240491,德宇,"Great house! Peaceful neighborhood!
I want to choose it again next time in Austin!"
72706,34337699,2015-06-07,898942,Alex,"Stayed here 4 nights (Tues-Sat) in June. There were 3 of us total and we felt it was very comfortable. We were comparing AirBNB options with Mid-Range hotels (think 3.5/5 stars) and found this to be competitive in terms of price/value (better on price) The benefit this home is that it provided much more space than a hotel room.

Susan and her assistant Natalia were very responsive and helpful in communicating with us from the moment we booked until the moment we left (sometimes responding within minutes) There were a few small snags that were fixed quickly and the manual she provides is very helpful. 

The location is very central to pretty much anything in Austin. I know you can Uber/Lyft to most places but having a rental car made things really easy.

Overall, I felt the place matched the description, and would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a comfortable space that is centrally located in Austin.

Overall, I felt Susan was a responsible, responsive and respectful AirBNB host, and would recommend her to others."
72706,34657838,2015-06-10,33816023,Walter Jeffrey,"All good
 "
72706,34825877,2015-06-12,35103098,Lanny,Great communication. The location was perfect.
72706,35181860,2015-06-15,2250350,Holly,"My husband , my daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The house was accurately described and very comfortable. My husband really appreciated the fact that we had coffee available.  That  was a nice touch.  We love coming to Austin for the weekend and this was a great location for all we love to do.  "
72706,36057019,2015-06-24,35886836,John,"We had a nice stay at the house but there were a few safety issues for small children that made things stressful and would keep me from wanting to return.

First, there is a bed pushed right up against a second story window.  This can't be easily remedied by moving the bed since the other walls also have windows.

Second, there is a large glass coffee table in the living room and a number of small breakable items and an unsecured mirror.

Finally, the steps to the backyard are really high up and have a railing that a child could easily fall through."
72706,36696748,2015-06-30,34579206,Michael,"Very pleasant experience, Susan's home was perfect for two couples spending the weekend in Austin.  Perfectly located, and the beds were extremely comfy.  

"
72706,37111590,2015-07-04,8093204,Annamarie,"Susan's home is fantastic.  It was clean and cer comfortable the neighborhood is very sweet and safe.  We where in walking distance of a local Library, a playground with a creek, and a coffee shop.  "
72706,37364757,2015-07-06,28429845,Beth,"My family experienced Austin for the first time over the July 4th weekend, happily based in Susan's comfortable and central home. There are two comfortable couches and good lighting for reading. The kitchen is big and bright, and although we didn't do any cooking, seemed appropriately outfitted for those who might want to. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms have ceiling fans in addition to very nice central air conditioning. Everything was spic and span! One particularly nice aspect of the house is it's natural light, and the privacy afforded by the large stands of bamboo all along the back of the house (if you sit in the back yard wear mosquito repellent!). The house sits on a quiet side street less than a block from a small park. It was a perfect spot for us to walk our small dog while watching happy children play in the sprinkler pool. While we didn't clock it, the distance to the restaurants and fun shopping on South Congress Street was a quick car ride. It would be an easy bike ride, and a reasonable walk. Because of the heat, we east coasters decided to explore via a cool car. The neighborhood is safe, with a mix of bungalow and newer housing (beware of unsecured angry dog on Johanna Street if you're out walking or running!). The information provided on the house was helpful and complete and Susan and her assistant, Natalia, were extremely responsive and welcoming (and forgiving of our dog's accident by the front door!). We would be glad to stay here again, and recommend it to anyone who wants a comfortable, secure and pleasant spot to explore the city."
72706,39276807,2015-07-22,26887275,Kim,"Susans house in Bouldin is absolutely lovely, it's a wonderful place for a vacation in Austin. We stayed with our family (me, Maria and our two boys, 4 yrs + 8 yrs) and everybody loved it. It's so nice, sweet and with everything you need. The setting is perfect, right next to the streets and the area that makes Austin such a special place, the neighbourhood around Bouldin, S Lamar, S Congress and Barton Springs. Susan is a pro, helping you out with everything you need to have a wonderful time at her place and in the area. We all love to be back!"
72706,40016257,2015-07-27,17639671,Justin,As always our stay at Susan's was great!  The house is charming and in a fantastic area within walking distance to so much.  Clean house and great communication made it a wonderful time!
72706,40520251,2015-07-31,17616415,Jennifer,"We had a great stay at Susan's house! It was in the perfect location close to lots of great activities like downtown, Zilker Park, and lots of delicious food and coffee places.   The neighborhood itself was quiet and charming, even within walking distance to a park. The house was a great size, and was clean and comfortable.  Susan was also very organized and very helpful.  The only thing we noticed was that the backyard is not completely closed if you are bringing a pet.  Overall great stay!"
72706,41666158,2015-08-08,12286472,Lanny,"Susan's place was very well described. The house was clean and comfortable, the neighborhood very quiet. It was great having so many nice bars and restaurants within walking distance. The bedding was good quality, the air conditioning worked well, the kitchen was well appointed. I would definitely stay here again. Very smooth experience!"
72706,42203387,2015-08-11,32162850,Elizabeth,"This home was perfect for us. My husband, two year old daughter and I stayed here for several nights. The neighborhood was delightful and we loved being able to walk to the Thai Cafe a block away. We went running from the house and enjoyed visiting Barton Springs pool on foot too. The home was clean, comfortable, and equipped for our stay. "
72706,42637087,2015-08-14,38550091,Matt,"Wonderful place. Exceptionally professional host. Very clean, modern and with everything you would need. Two big double rooms and a (slightly fun) sofa bed. Has the little luxuries like a washer/dryer, quick internet and off street parking. Location is great. Seriously, stay here. "
72706,44199926,2015-08-24,27805709,Stephen,This place was great! The listing was accurate and the accommodations worked very well for our quick Austin visit. The house was clean and well cared for. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and we enjoyed being within walking distance to so much of the South Austin scene.
72706,44559273,2015-08-27,48782,Stephanie,"Susan was an incredible host - her list of local recommendations was very helpful.  The house itself is lovely and perfectly located - most everything we wanted to see or do was less than a 10 minute drive away.  And as a side note - the beds were incredibly comfortable!

We also came with my dog, and the little park around the corner was perfect for a morning walk.

The next time we're  in Austin we hope to stay again! "
72706,45348559,2015-09-01,7698425,Gabriel,"This was a very nice Austin experience especially because living in a home versus an apartment felt just like a local. There is plenty of room here, great amenities and the area is awesome! Loved this place!"
72706,45632805,2015-09-04,2967064,Chris,"Susan and her assistant, Natalia, were such welcome hosts. I was trying to search for a place to stay last minute and felt anxious that I would not find a place. Susan was very responsive and answered all my queries in a warm and courteous manner.

The home was very accurately represented by the photos, but was much cleaner than most other airbnbs I've stayed at. My two small kids shared one bedroom, my baby stayed in the second room, and my wife and I stayed in the sofa bed in the living room. We absolutely loved this because we felt like we were in a fully contained unit with a fully stocked kitchen, full bathroom, TV, and access to a front and backyard patio. All in all, we had a very comfortable stay and the place was very quiet - my kids had solid two hour naps in the home each day.

The location is excellent. I lived in Westlake Hills for the past 2 years, but was surprised how much more central this home is. Each day, we ate at some of Austin's best restaurants which were literally less than a mile down the road. It was awesome being able to get takeout or eat in restaurants I wouldn't normally have due to distance.

On top of all this, I really respect how Susan keeps her cleaning costs down and doesn't try to profit off that charge. This is the least I've ever paid for cleaning fees for an airbnb. 

Susan is a warm and honest host offering a lovely home in a great location. Would highly recommend and also stay at again in future. "
72706,46053357,2015-09-07,4733189,Patrick,"We had a great time in Austin staying at this house. The neighborhood was safe, quiet, and very nice and suburban, but we could easily catch an uber into the heart of the city just a few minutes away. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable, and the main area was a great hangout for us. Thanks."
72706,46963223,2015-09-14,14682028,Joshua,"The house was in a GREAT location, very comfortable, quiet, and spacious for 4 people. It was very clean and convenient, it had everything we needed. Susan is a great communicative host and everything was clear and easy. Would definitely go back! "

2010160,10936590,2014-03-14,5407858,Michael,"The condo was clean and efficient. This place is all about location! Getting around Austin is a breeze! If you are wanting to sit around the condo and watch TV or play cards, this place is not for you! Get out and enjoy Austin! "
2010160,11002968,2014-03-17,11300614,Cassandra,The condo has a really great set-up and was right by the pool! We stayed there for SXSW and it was perfect for that event because we were out all day and came back to crash at night. Joe was a great host and even picked up some wristbands for us!
2010160,11222525,2014-03-25,8479373,Misha,"This was a clean condo, very simply furnished, but in a very convenient location if driving.  When the pedestrian river walk is completed it will be better for the foot traveller.

The price was reasonable and Joe was very prompt to respond with any necessary information or needs."
2010160,11324321,2014-03-30,12095110,Ashley,"Joe was a great host! His system for making keys available to guests was very convenient.  The rental was neat and clean, and taking the Kayak out on the lake was a blast. I highly recommend staying with Joe if you plan to be out and about in Austin during your stay. "
2010160,28119486,2015-03-18,22446583,Toon,"This was an excellent location for SXSW together with and excellent service of Joe. The flat is superclean and really nice with the swimmingpool and the two beds (one upstairs and one in the living room) we hit the jackpot. 

Discovering Austin was a blast on the Electric bikes that can be rented close by and the ride along the Riverside in the morning and the evening was just what one needed to catch a breath."
6854195,46088490,2015-09-07,33237048,Jennifer,It was a very lovely place. It accommodated 4 girls comfortably and it was a great location. A convenient 5-7 minute drive to downtown. Hosts provided so much to make it a wonderful stay. A plus for us was that it was perfectly located near bike rental stations. Would definitely stay in this beautiful cottage again! 
311092,1001880,2012-03-15,1617857,Paul,"Jaclyn was great!  The apartment was clean, plenty of space, and close enough to SXSW festivities. (It's right next to a bus stop in case you don't have a car to get into downtown Austin).  Good neighborhood and plenty of food nearby.  Would stay again. Thanks!"
311092,2912146,2012-11-19,398439,Kristen,"Apartment is as it appears in pictures, good size and nice. Good location close to all the good food and entertainment Austin has to offer. Jaclyn was a wonderful host and very accommodating. Took off 1 star as apartment could've been a little cleaner."
311092,3789442,2013-03-15,351178,Garrett,"Jacklyn took great care of us.  The apartment was clean and comfy.  There is plenty of room for three people, a nice balcony, and a coffee shop downstairs.  We were there for SXSW and were able to easily take the bus in to downtown (about 15 min).  The bus stops at midnight so we took cabs home (~$13).  Overall a much better option for us than a hotel. "
311092,11815213,2014-04-15,13863201,Clara,"Jaclyn's apartment is absolutely charming and in a great location, we were only 10 minutes from the airport. My mom, two sisters, and I stayed for four days and had plenty of room. We also slept very comfortably. "

The coffee shop downstairs is great, too. :)"
311092,41387020,2015-08-07,13305804,Shannon,"Great apartment in a great location. Kitchen isn't huge but it seems to be recently remodeled, and has everything you need to cook. Living space is very cozy, bed is very comfy and there's even a desk if you need to do any work. Coffee shop downstairs is AMAZING! Highly recommend this place - great space in a great location."
311092,47925269,2015-09-21,40828308,Molly,Had a fantastic time in Jaclyn's apartment. Great location and perfect sized house for four. There is no designated parking but we could usually find a spot behind the building. Jaclyn was very accommodating and let us stay an extra night because we liked Austin so much.
311092,49793803,2015-10-06,37182516,Marianela,"Eventhough I didn't met Jaclyn personally she was very friendly and helpful all of the time. 
The apartment is really cozy and has everything you need. Everything works perfectly, and the bed is very comfortable. 
The neighborhood is quiet and nice, it's not so far away from downtown. "
311092,50455227,2015-10-12,41325657,Terrence,The apartment wa great and the neighborhood was cool and close to the ACL action.  A real plus to have a coffee shop below the apartment!
8507553,49852216,2015-10-06,20823717,Cristina,"Karen is a great host! She was quick to respond to all of my emails/text messages which I greatly appreciated. I was staying at her apartment for ACL and she was kind enough to provide information on the festival and offer ideas for fun things to do in Austin. The place is clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend. "
8507553,50549322,2015-10-12,5991529,Josh,Karen was a great host during ACL! She printed out maps and other festival information as well as made suggestions where to rent bikes for the weekend. Everything in the apartment is spotless. I highly recommend staying at Karen's apartment when you're in Austin!
8507553,51098804,2015-10-17,13956075,Anoop,The apartment is excellent and it has everything. It is just like shown in the pictures and very clean. Karen is an absolutely wonderful host. She was very quick in communicating and responding to all and any questions!
8507553,51351868,2015-10-19,10283020,Ashley,"The apartment is exactly as described. Plenty of space for 6. Safe neighborhood, short ride to Town Lake, Rainey Street and 6th Street. "

1628288,9249820,2013-12-16,8809623,Ewelina,"I didn't have a chance to meet Alicia, but she made sure that I had everything I needed, if I had any questions or problems (once, with wifi) she was very helpful. She even gave us (there are other roommates) some sweets and little souvenirs - that was very nice :)
She is an artist and the house is full of inspirations, quotes, pictures and crazy stuff - I absolutely loved that. 

But - before I cooked something, I cleaned the kitchen (shelves, microwave, countertop, sink) as this place definitely needs a thorough cleaning. If you don't care about the dirt and mildew in the fridge - you'll be fine. 

House is located on the street where there is traffic 24/7, if you have sensitive ears, you might have problems at night (for me it was fine)

If you want to relay on public transportation (I did), just be careful! "

In addition to picking me up at the airport she showed me around town and introduced me to some great friends in the Rainey district.  The room is very comfortable, and Ruba strikes the perfect balance of being welcoming while also respecting your privacy.  All round a great experience, and one I would happily repeat."
966026,9579284,2014-01-02,2160156,Lilian,"Thanks to Ruba I had a great time in Austin. She's very sweet and has so many interesting stories to tell!
Plus her appartment is very close to the river and downtown. 
I highly recommend her place!
Thanks again Ruba. "

She will become your best friend, and a super plus she cooks so good :) 
Thank you so much ruba! "
966026,10000285,2014-01-24,2972316,Rich,Ruba is a terrific host. Very friendly and conversational. The apartment is a perfect location for visiting Austin and enjoying everything the city has to offer. I really enjoyed my stay and plan to come back to visit Ruba. 
966026,10330015,2014-02-13,7908234,Jens,"Ruba is a perfect host.
Friendly, open, personal and considerate. I had great and interesting talks with her, and at the same time space to be myself without having to say. Ruba is the good example of why we prefer air bnb to expensive unpersonal hotels. 
And her flat is placed perfectly if you want to explore Austin without living in the middle of it."
966026,10396417,2014-02-17,11386941,Arlette,"The home is in a neighbourhood that's peaceful and quiet yet extremely close to both the airport and downtown - super convenient! The bed is super comfortable, and the room is a great size, with loads of closet space. The hostess is the very best you'll find - super outgoing, in the know about hotspots, and very accommodating. You'll have a super time in Austin, especially if you stay here! Enjoy! :)"
966026,10523046,2014-02-23,2275168,Jeffrey,"Great hostess!  Great location - just across the river from the hotel where my conference was.  Easy to park in front of the apartment on the ground floor.  All in all, it was a tremendous two days."
966026,10707864,2014-03-03,12575457,Bernadette,"Ruba and her space was just what I needed. I was staying in Austin for a conference, and I really needed a quiet personal space while I wasn't running around the conference- her set up was so great!  we had a lovely time together, AND the river location made for one perfect morning run!  "
966026,10762021,2014-03-06,11773531,Debora,"Ruba is a great host. She picked me up from the airport, and was warm and friendly throughout my trip. The room is comfortable with ample closet space.

966026,11159989,2014-03-23,10314326,Jimmy,"What an amazing experience with Ruba!  Words can not describe, but I will attempt here.  Ruba is a caring soul who goes above and beyond what is needed as an Air BnB host.  She picked me up and dropped me off numerous times. We ate great healthy breakfasts together. She drove me around to sight see including the capital, local parks, and restaurants.  What's more, she offers a genuine, compassionate ear.  She is truly invested in meeting and spending time with those who stay with her.  My experience in Austin would not have been the same had I not stayed with Ruba, and would love to return again to visit soon. An amazing person who I feel lucky to have had the pleasure of crossing paths with in this life :) "
966026,11286718,2014-03-28,4314979,Steph,"Ruba was a wonderful host. She picked me up at the airport and I immediately felt her warm personality. She loves life and her positive attitude will make your trip that much better. Ruba even invited me out most nights, and I had a blast checking out the cool local places of Austin. Her apartment is cozy, clean, and very comfortable. No complaints whatsoever on the place. It is right by the river and really easy to get to the downtown area. She has the friendly feel while being respectful of your wants and needs. I am very appreciative of my time spent with her; if you want the real airbnb experience, then stay with Ruba! "
966026,11332232,2014-03-30,13071158,Franz,"I have only good things to say about Ruba and her place. You can really tell that she cares about her guests and makes you have the best Austin experience. She picked me up, dropped me back at the airport, gave me a Downtown tour and guided me to explore Austin; she knows the best places in town. Ruba is a warm person, and easy to get along with. We had very interesting conversations, and I immediately knew I could trust her. Her place is in a nice neighborhood, close to stores. But most important, it's by the river. You can take nice walks along its pathways, and even reach Downtown or Rainey Street, which is full of nice places to eat and have a drink. Her place is very nice, and as she says, full of art, which gives it a relaxing ambiance. The room and the bed were comfortable. Thanks a lot Ruba for hosting me and making my stay in Austin a great experience."

She showed me around and gave me lots of motivation for yoga and salsa .
Cheers:) Ruba !!!"

966026,13926042,2014-06-08,15644812,Erica,"Ruba is the soul of kindness. She helped me get around, gave advice on what to do, and was generally a charming and interesting person to get to know. Her apartment is pleasant, with a pool (that I didn't have time to use, but which look inviting.) The gated apartment complex is quite nice and well maintained, and there are some shops nearby, though it's not really a destination. You can walk to downtown along the river, which is simply beautiful, though it does take about a half an hour. There's a nice little restaurant across E. Riverside Dr. called El Marisco Grill that was described  somewhere (Yelp?) as a ""hidden gem"", and it is, even though it's in a refurbished Jack-In-The-Box building. All in all, a very nice stay!"
966026,14210000,2014-06-14,7162302,Akash,"Ruba was an excellent host. She is definitely unique, in terms of her style and her overall way of being and much more. And that is a massive plus! Was a pleasure to stay with her!"
966026,16807713,2014-08-02,18941216,Kiley,I had a wonderful time in Austin.  Just a minutes drive from everything and the river was calming and peaceful.  Ruba was a wonderful host and great person.  I felt as if I have made another friend ;)  
966026,17275730,2014-08-10,6351274,Sami,"Ruba was a perfect host, very friendly and available. She gave me a lift from/to the airport and showed me around the city during my stay. Her apartment is in a very nice neighborhood, just across the Colorado River from the Downtown area. You can reach the city center by foot; there's a very nice boardwalk for doing that.  There's a bus stop just in front of the apartments as well.  Her apartment is nice and cosy. I could not have asked for more. "
966026,17906085,2014-08-18,774484,Maria & Seth,"I had a very nice stay at Ruba's apartment. She was very accommodating with a flexible schedule and offered lots of guidance on how to get around Austin. She even lent me a bicycle for exploring the city  and getting downtown quickly.

The apartment is clean and comfortable and a good location next to the new boardwalk along the Colorado River's south edge.  Right next to her building is one of Austin's famous food truck lots where I enjoyed many great meals. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
966026,18288148,2014-08-24,14309203,Leigh,"Ruba is a very positive and friendly person who made me very welcome. She is great company and very open. She accepted my booking at short notice and still picked me up from the airport. Her apartment is in a lovely place by the river, the pool is gorgeous and she allowed me use of her bike. There are food trucks very close by, along with a great tex mex restaurant. I would recommend Ruba's place, it was great."
966026,19498744,2014-09-13,5632377,Monica,"Ruba was a wonderful host. Not only did she take me in last minute, but made me feel at home and welcome.  She was super helpful starting with extra towels through advice for great places to go and see in Austin. Her house was really clean and cosy with a quirky decor in an apartment complex that is just by the river and has a swimming pool - it was perfect! On top of that Ruba has a delightful personality and even short chats with her will put a smile on your face. Highly recommend!"
966026,19962032,2014-09-21,19518178,Joy,"I had quite a pleasant stay with Ruba - a great first Airbnb experience... I spent the days exploring the city and then in the evenings hung out with Ruba.  She took me to a great little bar/restaurant that seemed to be quintessential Austin.  We also went salsa dancing the 2nd night I stayed with her.  She is extremely friendly and quite literally ran into someone she knew every where we went.

Our schedules didn't end up matching up for her to take me to the airport, but she took me to the bus stop to spare me from the Austin heat & humidity while dragging a suitcase along.  The bus made for a really quick/cheap and hassle free trip to the airport.

Her location is nice with access to the Riverwalk, food trucks and a coffee shop not too far.  Also, it was a mile walk to some amazing Austin Barbecue (not Franklins, I didn't want to do the 6 hour wait... I went for La Barbecue and only waited an hour, I was not let down)"
966026,20151639,2014-09-24,1390370,Rob,Ruba was everything that has been said.  Picked me up at the airport and was happy and helpful.  A delightful 2day stay.
966026,20449905,2014-09-29,21144508,Kitty A,"I loved my stay! My host was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area, a great help for getting around on my own. 

My room was relaxing and much more inviting than a stale Hotel Room. 

The area surrounding is very pleasant, you can walk along the river path which is lit at night. The river runs along the back side of the property so you don't have far to go. I recommend staying here, especially if you appreciate an organic lifestyle. "
966026,20802440,2014-10-05,5107612,Jon,Ruba was great.  I ran over an hour late arriving and she was completely understanding and friendly.  The bed was super comfortable and its a great location for those who want to be very near but not right in the middle of the downtown scene.
966026,20999978,2014-10-09,16924670,Stuart,"Ruba is an ideal host.  The apartment is ground floor, quiet, high quality gated development, close to the lake. Walkway to town.  Room is plenty big enough, comfortable, quiet. Shared bathroom and kitchen.  Piano, no television.  Ruba has her time, takes trouble. And cares - so is happy and sensitive to come forward or step back when needed to help her guest.  She even volunteered a run to the airport. "
966026,21217893,2014-10-13,739202,Erin,"Ruba was so nice: she picked me up from the airport and took me back, and even drove me to breakfast one morning when it was raining. The apartment is in a great location, right by the river, and the room is a good size and has a really comfortable bed. I would definitely stay here again if/when I come back to Austin."
966026,21443787,2014-10-17,21465402,Eric,"Ruba made me feel very welcome.  She described the place perfect.  Played the piano some and she did too!  Very sincere, honest, and great host.  Overall, I would highly recommend this stay!  I was there for 2 nights and Ruba even took me to my drop off site for work!  Thank you Ruba!  I will stay with you again for sure on my next trip to Austin!"
966026,21624142,2014-10-20,7495308,Philipp,"Ruba was a great host: very friendly and helpful, great recommendations and the apartment has a great location to explore Austin.
"
966026,21733330,2014-10-22,9008168,Colleen,"Ruba and her home was exactly what I needed for my time in Austin! I felt completely comfortable from the moment she let me in. Ruba is a very special woman, so much great energy and love in her - she shares that with her guests. The conversations we had were the perfect addition to my time in the city. We kept in touch and hung out in Austin together when I was done with my planned activities, she's got an awesome social life and is very open to tagalongs if you're without plans. Her place is great location and a quick drive or longer (but very pleasant) walk to downtown. If I come back to Austin, I'll definitely be here!! A highlight on my trip for sure! :)"
966026,22303744,2014-11-03,21506605,Simon,"Ruba made me feel very welcome, the discription was accurate & the neighbourhood was great. It is a nice walk along the river to get to downtown & a great city. Ruba even dropped me at the airport, thanks! I would definitely recommend staying here."
966026,22648233,2014-11-11,19287069,Veronica,"Ruba is charming, very genuine and a lot of fun, who went out of her way to make my stay as comfortable and enjoyable as poss.  I can't say enough about how personable she is.  Her apt is well located by the water and Boardwalk and accessible to downtown as well as South Congress."
966026,25927406,2015-01-30,5508164,Peter,"My stay with Ruba was great. The place is very convenient and secure, located just by the river trail. Ruba is a very welcoming and cheerful person. On the day of my arrival I came in pretty late, exhausted and Ruba was so kind to offer me tea with some fantastic artisan snacks."
966026,26594194,2015-02-16,16241351,Jerry,"Ruba is an extremely kind host who ensures her guests are comfortable at all times. She was very patient with me in our initial messages, and she's a wonderful conversationalist - she has so many interests!

One of the best parts about her place is how the boardwalk is literally right behind her complex, so you have a very safe walk to Congress (it's lit at night). Additionally, she provides water and snacks for her guests, and there's also ample gated parking, a rare specialty in Austin.

I had a great time in Austin, and I would definitely recommend staying with Ruba."
966026,26926826,2015-02-22,26538932,Jazz,"I had a great experience at Ruba’s apartment.  She was very welcoming and her apartment was peaceful.  Ruba welcomed me into her home and provided me with water and an apple.  She made suggestions of places to visit and even invited me to join her to a few places, which I found thoughtful.
I loved the location, because I could enjoy the river and have easy access back into the city.  I was pleasantly surprised that Ruba had a bike that I could use during my visit.  The bicycle made everything easily accessible. After spending all day biking around the city, her apartment was so cozy to return to.  The décor is beautiful and put me at ease!
"
966026,27405932,2015-03-03,12452686,Christie,"Ruba was such a warm and friendly host that I wished I stayed with her longer! Her house was full of her beautiful artworks and had a very relaxed and peaceful feel. The room was spacious and comfortable and I wouldn't have minded straying in there the whole day. Austin was really cold the week I spent there but the room thankfully had a mini heater was unimaginably effective at keeping the place warm. Her house is indeed close to everything. You can walk to downtown and south congress along the river. It's a bit of a walk, but with the scenery, it really makes for a very enjoyable walk. Ruba herself was a great host. She invited me to her Salsa classes and readily offered to give me a lift. Overall, I really enjoyed staying with her as she made me feel so welcomed and at home in Austin."
966026,27518151,2015-03-06,2358904,Laura,"Ruba was really helpful and friendly and offered me the run of the place and the kitchen! She was very flexible and the room is delightful and very close to both airport and downtown Austin. Would recommend it to anyone but especially ladies travelling alone!

A special mention for Ruba's beautiful art, which is all over the apartment and is wonderful to spend time with."
966026,27604948,2015-03-08,25266493,Melissa,"Ruba was a wonderful host who made me feel as though I was staying with a friend I'd had for years. The location was excellent, near the water and walking trails, interstate and airport. The bed was also extremely comfy! I would definitely stay with Ruba again."
966026,27735410,2015-03-10,8573160,Francoise,"Ruba is very welcoming, accommodating, and generous with her time. Her place is small, but quiet and lovely, with her art everywhere. The bed is super comfy. 

All in all, a great, simple, well-located place to land when exploring Austin. Not far from the airport and close to downtown (an Uber ride from downtown was only $7). Ruba gave me a couple of rides and very kindly mailed something I'd left behind. Thanks, Ruba! 

The apt. complex is right on the river, with the river walkway to downtown going by. I wasn't able to explore it, as it was cold and rainy, but it looked fun. I'd definitely stay there again... "
966026,27862985,2015-03-13,4078933,Will,"What a beautiful location, a well setup and tidy apartment. Ruba is fantastic. I loved walking the boardwalk along the river to visit downtown. "
966026,28616064,2015-03-27,18643163,Thomas,"Ruba was a fantastic host.  She was a great communicator and facilitated a visit that was exactly what I needed.  The apartment is a great crash pad and was extremely well located on the Colorado river with access to an extensive exercise path/boardwalk right out back.  There is also a pool and very easy bus access to downtown.  Ruba is enthusiastic and is happy to hang out with you and connect you with experiences (especially dancing) that may give you a better sense of Austin's culture.

I highly recommend staying with Ruba, but will caution taller travelers: you may need to sleep diagonally on the bed.  I maxed out the bed's length at 6'."
966026,28739705,2015-03-29,24405672,Sofya,"This was a great experience! Ruba is friendly, outgoing, hospitable and warm! Her apartment is in a great location- right along the River only 5 minute drive from downtown. Very easy and comfortable stay!"
966026,28919871,2015-03-31,1725462,Ben,Ruba was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. The place is comfortable and in a truly beautiful location. I went for walks and runs by the river and swam in the pool. Also really easy to catch the bus from there.
966026,29128491,2015-04-04,10374463,Jeff,"Enjoyed this stay.good location by the river.comfy bed.Enjoyed her tea which I'd not come across before but most of all I enjoyed her company,precious!"
966026,29631879,2015-04-10,12656114,Sarah,"I loved meeting and staying with Ruba. She is a fascinating woman, and her apartment is in a great location and central to everything. I would love to stay with her again. "
966026,29854917,2015-04-13,4988784,Molly,"Great neighborhood, right on the river, convenient to everything. Ruba was a lovely host, super friendly and helpful. Made coffee and conversation each morning. I had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone!"
966026,30073206,2015-04-17,23916604,Shelly,"This was my first stay with Airbnb, and I was quite apprehensive.  Ruba put me right at ease.  She has such a sweet spirit and is the perfect host.  Her place is right off the river where there's a beautiful running/walking trail and an incredible view of the Austin skyline from the trail.  When I go back to Austin, I'm staying with Ruba!"
966026,30256531,2015-04-19,10554167,Mark,"Ruba was a terrific host, and her place is well situated for easy access to fun in Austin.  She made me feel most welcome, her place is clean and comfortable.  The views of downtown Austin and the river, accessible from the trail nearby, were spectacular.  It was a pleasure to stay with Ruba in Austin.  "
966026,30820845,2015-04-27,31208475,Jennifer,"My experience was amazing! Ruba was very warm and friendly and the accommodations were exactly what I needed for my 4 night stay. The location is excellent. I was able to walk to downtown very easily along the river, on the path. Which felt very safe. The room was very comfortable and safe. As a female travelling alone, staying with Ruba was an excellent decision. I highly recommend this Air BNB. Thank you Ruba!"
966026,31067787,2015-05-01,12282189,Vitaly,"Ruba is a very friendly and attentive person, her place is clean an comfortable, amazing view from boardwalk to the city, for day and night time. Would  like to stay here again. "
966026,31350962,2015-05-04,12474964,Stephen,"Ruba is THE BEST. Seriously, she made me feel at home right away, her place is awesome and the location is great. The place was clean, comfy, and perfect. She is so nice and easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the area, and basically everything you'd want out of a host. I would love to stay with her again!"
966026,31586003,2015-05-07,12618992,Orah,Amazingg!! Ruba was a great host! I had so much fun with her and she made me feel super comfortable 
966026,31919473,2015-05-11,26070913,Glenn,Ruba is a lovely and interesting person and made me  feel at home. But the apartment does not lend itself  easily to communal living. Its a small apartment in a condo community -- well-situated but not in any immediate commerce.  While its  true its on the river and has a pool--- it does not have a  view of the river and the pool was closed for repairs when I was there. Its not in a  neighborhood that lends itself  to strolling through town but its great if  you  want to  walk along the river-path. 
966026,32266014,2015-05-16,6472181,Zachary,"Ruba's place was great! Exactly what I needed! It was located right along the river, which was perfect for being accessible for my work meetings downtown and also for walking along the river! In addition to the river, there are several food trucks and coffee shops nearby. My stay was very comfortable, with everything I needed. Thanks!"
966026,32691300,2015-05-20,9813694,Jory,Ruba was great.  Very easy to communicate with about arrival logistics and was very experienced with hosting people.  Bottles of water were ready in her fridge and she also had coffee and other breakfast food available. I didn't have time to take advantage of all of the options for exploring Austin with her that other guests have mentioned.  The apartment is nicely decorated with some great paintings and lots of attention to detail.   She has the right balance in terms of being friendly with guests but also granting them their own space as needed. 
966026,33004645,2015-05-24,32210630,Ugo,"This was my first time using AirBnB and it certainly will not be my last! The place I stayed was very comfortable and Ruba was an incredible host. Although she was not there when I arrived I was able to get in and when we finally met she was friendly and so full of life! We talked and she was very welcoming. If anyone is ever in Austin and needs a place to stay, try Ruba's she is awesome!"
966026,33376541,2015-05-27,31346910,Allison,"This spot is very convenient and picturesque if you choose to explore the trails or lakefront. Walking distance of about 30-40 minutes from many destinations in downtown and South Austin. Less than a $10 uber ride to most places. Ruba is incredibly approachable and inviting, and has a lovely home that's great for inspiring the creative spirit!"
966026,33658107,2015-05-31,1253495,Jeff,"Ruba was awesome! She was welcoming and warm. I arrived to a tastefully decorated room, adorned with her personal art collection (which looked great), a bottle of water, snack, and items for the restroom. "
966026,34420065,2015-06-08,11968352,Candy,"Perfect stay. The environment is friendly, the bus stop is super close and there's the pool and the river. Ruba is a good host, she helped me find my way and knows a lot of stuff to do around Austin. The apartment is perfect to stay in, own clean room, bathroom and you can use the kitchen."
966026,34973885,2015-06-14,24929642,Caroline,Perfect spot to stay while visiting Austin. About a 30-40 minute walk downtown along the beautiful river. The accommodations are comfortable and all you need for a short weekend stay.
966026,35806088,2015-06-22,26494027,Kiyana,Ruba is amazing! Her home is a reflection of how nice she is. The location is great. Time time there was well needed. I WILL be back. Austin is such a peaceful place to be. Peace & Light
966026,37245550,2015-07-05,5535934,Madeline,"As soon as I met Ruba I felt like she was an old friend. Super chill and made me feel so comfortable. She welcomed me in and told me all about the cool places to go and see. The room and bed were extremely comfy. Best sleep I've had in ages! Thanks so much Ruba! The location was perfect, I walked everywhere, and the amenities in the building were great too (pool and gym). Awesome."
966026,38070403,2015-07-12,35184143,Nathan,"Ruba is a wonderful person and excellent host. I felt at home immediately in her place, and she really goes beyond expectations in many ways. Centrally located, but far enough away from downtown (you're situated next to the river) its a $8 lyft most places. Highly recommended!"
966026,40863508,2015-08-02,39941175,Nabil,"Amazing location, and the host is super friendly and helpful. Apartment is really nice and you will feel immediately at home the moment you checked in!"

966026,44035205,2015-08-23,15479941,New,"Ruba was a fantastic hostess! I loved how flexible she was with the check-in and check-out times. The location was very convenient to South Congress and downtown Austin -- a lovely 20 minute walk along the river or a quick $5 Uber ride.

Her apartment was extremely comfortable, even in 100+ degree weather, I slept like a baby in her nice AC. 

Ruba is very sweet and was able to provide recommendations on great bars, coffee shops, and restaurants."
966026,46338357,2015-09-09,5770822,Charles,"Great room in an up-and-coming part of Austin, a few solid bars and restaurants within a short walk, a longer walk to SoCo or across the river to downtown."
966026,49332335,2015-10-03,4380121,Ann,"Ruba is the perfect host...gracious, helpful, warm, friendly, sweet, and very easy to communicate with. Her home is also perfect:colorful, warm, fully loaded with helpful info, all essentials, and even a bike!  It is nicely located on the beautiful river for great walks and trips to downtown Austin which is awesome in itself. The complex has a great gym and pool too---all perfect for my stay! Thanks so much, Ruba!"
966026,49897324,2015-10-07,6988010,Alyssa,"Ruba was a great host! She instantly made me feel welcome and is very, very nice. I was in town for a conference and the location was within a reasonable walking distance of downtown for me. It was great walking along the river every morning. "
966026,50175866,2015-10-10,41195530,Israel,"Ruba was excellent and super wonderful. Her place is super clean, beautiful and comfortable. I extremely recommend her, she is a wonderful kind person. Her location is great next to the river,downtown, restaurants, bars, supermarket...you name it. The ideal place to stay when youre in Austin, also beautiful art decorations in every corner. thank you so much Ruba :)"
966026,50630211,2015-10-13,6604104,Mona,"Ruba is the most generous and welcoming host I've ever met! She was there to welcome me to her home when I arrived and showed me around. She was very generous with food and water, just the basics, of my stay. Her house has such a great vibe and makes you instantly feel home. She's also a great artist with her own paintings hanging around so it's a very personable place. I LOVED the pool overlooking the river and spent quite a while there too! If I am ever back in Austin, I'd love to stay in the same place!"
966026,51297889,2015-10-19,43120276,Alec,"Such a cosy little place, and welcoming host. It's in a great location and Ruba's a lot of fun to hang out with. Great introduction to a great city!"

969592,10888831,2014-03-11,9573958,Nick,Andi was a great host and very friendly. She even picked me up from the airport! The house is very comfortable and the room had all that I needed for my SXSW trip. Nice neighborhood and easy to get to downtown. I even worked out the buses.
969592,10905349,2014-03-12,10862193,Rachael,"Andi's house was the perfect location for my first night in Austin. It cost me only $12 to get there from the airport which was lovely after a long journey, and although I did not actually meet Andi (which was a shame), she ensured I was able to get hold of a key to let myself in. She was very accommodating, letting my boyfriend stay at the last minute, and the room was comfy for us.

Prior to my stay she kept in touch via text so I felt reassured about my impending stay with her.

It was only a 5-10 minute walk to catch a bus into downtown from hers which didn't take long at all, plus it only cost like $1.50 so cheap as anything. 

Thanks Andi!"
1853474,10917402,2014-03-13,1013266,Mark,"Great little place in the perfect East Austin location. My co-worker and I stayed here during SXSW and we found the accommodations to be charming, comfortable, and convenient."

1853474,28118007,2015-03-18,6068959,Tom,"Lindsey was a great host, hooking me up with a bike to use during SXSW even! The location was great considering the chaos of SXSW; two excellent coffee shops near by, and the convention center was less than 2 blocks away."
1853474,31962807,2015-05-12,14821763,David,"I've now stayed at Lindsey's amazing house twice and I'll likely be booking again next time I'm in town.  It's located in the heart of East Austin and just a short walk from tons of great bars, restaurants, and of course food trucks.  It's a great cozy place for couples to experience this amazing city.  Lindsey  was very helpful giving suggestions for places to see and was generally a great host.  "
3089519,13396204,2014-05-26,15534705,Lisa,This was my first time using Airbnb on booking a place to stay out of town. I never met with Erica but I could call them with any questions I had and everything went well. Me and 2 of my girlfriends stayed at this house and we each had a pretty decent size bed! Everything seemed neat and orderly.  I enjoyed my stay here because it was spacious for all of us to move around in and was nearby downtown. It was a convenient location. There were tons of restaurants and stores all close by to this place. I literally booked this place last minute whenever I arrived in Austin! Im glad they accommodated to us so last minute. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Austin with my friends! 
3089519,13988505,2014-06-09,9639494,Brian,"Great house close to some great restaurants and only a short skip to Congress street. While the house looks very quaint from the outside, it is actually quite big inside and appointed very well. The new bathrooms are hotel quality as is the air conditioning. We used the house for a business trip and it served perfectly for meetings, too. "
3089519,19622268,2014-09-15,20336838,Spencer,"Erica was a fantastic host and was quick to respond to our e-mails. She was always accommodating and very friendly.

In terms of the property, the house was a fantastic fit for our group of 5 guys who were in Austin for a bachelor party. The home had plenty of space and the beds were large and comfortable. We didn't spend too much time inside the house, but found the U-Verse TV and Wi-Fi a plus! TurnKey takes care of this property and their customer service was great. 

The house is located in a safe neighborhood with plenty of street parking. There are some great places to eat within walking distance. Downtown and the rest of Austin was just a short drive away. 

I would highly recommend this property if you're a group traveling to Austin!"
3089519,20352558,2014-09-28,1340458,Diana,"Very clean, comfortable, and spacious home in a super convenient location! Just a short walk to S. Lamar and short drive to S. Congress and downtown.

3089519,22367517,2014-11-04,20082221,Peter,"We were in Austin for the F1 race, and needed a space for the weekend. Erica's house was simply great and was exactly what we needed. The house was completely as described on the site and everything worked very well, including getting into the house via the keypad. We didn't know Austin's layout very well, but found the area round the house to be lively with great restaurants and shops, and also convenient to the freeway system that allowed us easy access to get to the race location. Erica was also very pro-active and provided us with lots of info before we arrived which gave us great confidence about the house. We would definitely book this house again! Great experience!"
3089519,23175673,2014-11-24,18221154,Alex,"The house was clean and all the essentials were provided. Close drive to downtown and a lot of restaurants. 
Nice home to hunker down in when the rain was pouring down. Whole group was impressed with the location and stay. "
3089519,25037753,2015-01-05,24420639,Brendan,We had a great time staying here during our visit to austin.  The three bedrooms are very nice and we had plenty of room for 3 couples.  The location is very convenient to getting around town with just a short cab ride.  All amenities were taken care of and we enjoyed having use of the kitchen.
3089519,25350318,2015-01-13,22174235,Susan,"Great house in a wonderful location!  We were there for a multi-day event in Zilker Park; easy access to the park, airport, downtown and all of the great shops and restaurants in South Lamar. The house was clean, spacious, and had all of the necessary kitchen, entertainment (wi-fi and TV) bedding essentials. Check-in was easy; loved the TurnKey app. "
3089519,25651127,2015-01-21,26479616,Alex,The reservation was canceled 53 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3089519,26879303,2015-02-21,11179049,David,This was such a great find! The description was completely accurate. The house is centrally located in the Zilker area.

4149621,50622964,2015-10-13,38798963,Ben,"Three friends and I rented Casey's apartment for ACL, and it was great! The apartment was clean and larger than the pictures suggest. We only had about a ten minute walk to Zilker park. Casey was a gracious host. He was flexible with check in arrangements, easily accessible, and hospitable.

This was my first Airbnb experience and it won't be my last!"
4341078,37958329,2015-07-12,30838001,Steph,"What an adorable place! Nice and roomy, decor was just right, both comfy and attractive with all the supplies and equipment a visitor could ask for. Private and quiet with a great backyard. The Zilker neighborhood is lovely and close to everything, including downtown. Vicki, the host/owner, was very helpful, gave us lots of recommendations for restaurants, etc. Altogether one of the best places I've ever stayed. "
4341078,47498893,2015-09-19,22863851,Tiina,"What a stylish and comfortable place!  And it feels very private with great views to the beautiful backyard, even though it is close to Downtown Austin.

The apartment was clean and nicely decorated, the bed was very comfortable, and the AC was much appreciated with the Texas heat blazing outside.  There is a great little green patio outside, too. It is conveniently located between downtown and South Congress.  There are great food options close, as well as a bike sharing station to get to spots a bit further away.  All in all, a wonderful place to call home while visiting Austin!"
2253306,13405937,2014-05-27,12587758,Luke,"Great stay at Cory's place - convenient location and the apartment was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable. Easy getting in and out, no hassles at all."
2253306,18890759,2014-09-02,18775627,Carolyn,"Cory's apartment offered comfort and convenience for our long weekend trip to Austin. It is centrally located near great South Congress shops, downtown/6th Street, the airport and UT campus. The apartment was clean and neat, just as it appeared in the photos. Cory was easy to reach by phone when we had a question. It comfortably accommodated me and two friends and the pool was a nice plus. "
2253306,28071451,2015-03-17,25764536,Chris,"Cory was great meeting me on arrival and working around my flight schedule. The apartment was clean, quite and had a nice sunny window off the kitchen.

The location is ideal for ACL and any other event or activity in Austin - it has easy access in and out of the neighborhood from multiple directions. 
She even left a list of spots which were walking distance versus a quick Uber ride - super helpful for anyone not familiar with Austin. Had a great stay, thanks Karen! "

1709120,12253917,2014-04-27,5266170,Sherryn,"Our experience staying with Chris underscores all that is good about AirBnB. We deliberately chose her place because it was not downtown and the area was quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and oh so comfortable with great chi! Definitely a wonderful place to stay and, when we come back to Austin, we will stay here again. We had a wonderful time!"
1709120,14664981,2014-06-23,722833,Wei,"We had a wonderful stay at Chris's cozy house for the weekend. She left some granola bars, milk, yogurt, and strawberries for our stay. The house was nice, clean, and comfortable. It's also at a relatively convenient location not too far from I-35. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit!"
1709120,15607817,2014-07-12,14853018,Alexandra,Great home! Very comfortable and the host made everything easy and accessible - I felt like I was at home ..will stay again someday I hope!
1709120,16283738,2014-07-24,177032,Jennifer,"We had a quick overnight stay at Chris' charming Central Austin home.  The house is beautifully well-appointed and has all the comforts of home - for a quick or even extended stay.  The neighborhood is residential and was perfect to bike around but not too far from restaurants, shops, etc.. We would definitely recommend to stay here and would not hesitate to do so again! Thanks Chris!"
1709120,16521677,2014-07-28,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Chris's home was absolutely perfect for what we needed on our trip to Austin. My husband and I were spending the day in Austin with his parents and rented Chris's house for a night. We were all very impressed with how nice the house is. We were able to each settle into our own room and all slept very well. We had fridge space which is always a huge bonus for us as we pick up Austin beer and food whenever we are in town. The location is great, just a quick drive down Lamar (as long as you aren't traveling in rush hour) to get to our favorite central and south Austin places. We didn't get to meet Chris because she was out of town but her house was an absolute delight to stay in and we would all highly recommend this Airbnb spot. Chris helps prove how great Airbnb can be, especially in value!"
1709120,16874354,2014-08-03,18801234,Barak,"Chris's place was amazing!!! We had a great time there (and of course in Austin..), the apartment was clean and tidy and it had everything we needed and more."

The home has been very nicely updated and has  an awesome back yard.  Chris was a great host and everything went smooth.  Will certainly stay there again next time I am in Austin. "
1709120,17591235,2014-08-14,2909038,Hung Tony,I've been on several cross-country road trips where I stayed at mostly AirBnb spots.  Chris is one of the best hosts that I have interacted with.  She was extremely accommodating and her home is absolutely lovely.  Next time I'm in Austin hope to stay at her place again.
1709120,18360128,2014-08-25,16669595,Jon,The host was very exact on how to use everything in the house and had a set of instructions on everything from the AC to which remote to use. The house is very quiet and felt very inviting. The neighborhood was quiet and I could not have asked for anything else. I hope to stay their on my next visit to Austin. Overall it was a great experience and the I enjoyed my stay.
1709120,19612761,2014-09-15,19750811,Matilda,"Chris was fantastic, he let us check in early, had some food for breakfast, very hospitable. The apartment is really nice, we had a great stay."
1709120,20812665,2014-10-06,16346732,Madeline,"This was my first time using AirBnB and because I was unfamiliar to the AirBnB experience I decided to book someone based on their reviews, and boy did I choose the right one!

Chris was a fabulous host! We arrived a little later than we hoped but everything was all set up for my family and I.  The descriptions and photos are accurate.  Chris' home is cozy and perfect for a family/group of four.  The air mattress was a great substitute for my bed.

The neighborhood was great and close to downtown Austin.  We had car so we drove in-n-out of the neighborhood and into Austin for some food and ACL. But if you don't have car, don't worry! Expect a lovely welcoming letter from  Chris telling you how to use public transportation to get into the city.

Chris, you're a wonderful host! Thank you so much for your hospitality! I especially enjoyed the snacks you provided my family and I."
1709120,21193772,2014-10-13,14884303,Jaime,"It was a very nice experience staying at Chris' home. I stayed with my wife, my teenage daughter and some of her friends for the ACL concert. The house was very convenient, close enough to downtown and other attractions like the Muller Park and Thinkery museum. The house was impeccable clean. Chris left welcome cookies and some drinks and food for breakfast. It was the perfect place for our weekend trip in Austin."
1709120,22353220,2014-11-04,13268261,Matt,"A mate and I stayed at Chris's house over the Grand Prix weekend and it suited our needs perfectly. The house was comfortable, in an interesting and accessible part of the city and we felt right at home. Dealing with Chris was a pleasure and we had a great time in Austin. I hope to return at some point with my family and will look at staying at the house again."
1709120,22582582,2014-11-10,12512606,Kelly,"Our host was amazing, Chris made us feel right at home by leaving notes for us in all the right places and welcoming us with a personalized message and snacks! Chris made sure we had all the things that people normally forget and made sure we were set for an awesome weekend in Austin. 

The location is convenient and cute. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend our host. "
1709120,23943821,2014-12-15,11917691,Annie,Chris was a thoughtful and considerate host who made our experience in Austin welcoming and wonderful! The neighborhood was quiet and safe with nice neighbors and was easy to get around driving but with a few places to eat within walking distance. Chris and the apartment were warm and comfortable and we are very grateful for our stay in this airbnb.
1709120,24474049,2014-12-29,3508314,Valen,My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Chris's house and his bed was very comfy! Would def stay here again :))

1709120,25817316,2015-01-26,4752367,Kim,My stay at Chris's was great and went smoothly. He provided an easy check in and check out process. Very easy to talk with. Pictures are (email hidden)e house was clean and equipped with all the necessities. I left my charger cord for my cell phone and he generously offered to mail it back to me! No problems and would stay again :)
1709120,26610042,2015-02-16,2278461,Matthew,"Due to scheduling and terrible traffic on I-35 we ended up coming in even later than expected. Chris was wonderful in ensuring the lights were on and we could quickly find a great place to get a great nights rest. In fact, we've stayed in several AirBNB and I have to admit, the bed Chris has in the place is the most comfortable we have ever slept on. We had wonderful muffins waiting for us, clear instructions and a personal note all very clearly helping us make this our home away from home for several days. The listing was perfect, exactly what we expected. The neighborhood is really amazing. Quiet and nice to wake up to birds signing in the morning. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend this to anyone looking for a wonderful, very centrally located (especially to downtown) jumping off place to visit Austin. "
1709120,27402238,2015-03-03,27468243,Shawn,"The experience at Chris' house was excellent.  Cute place that was located within a few miles of everything we wanted to do or go see.  Chris left us a nice note and even some food, which of course we didn't let go to waste.  I look forward to staying there the next time I make it through Austin."
1709120,28116339,2015-03-18,11002595,Roberta,"It was a great experience being at Chis place! The house is really cozy, confortable and clean, she was very nice and facilitated us all the detail we must know to have a great experience, I really recommend her place!!
"

1709120,28713688,2015-03-29,1877954,Natacha,"Chris' place was very comfortable, clean, and in a very nice neighborhood. We enjoyed browsing his music selection and he even left us food in the fridge which was very thoughtful and appreciated. 
Chris was very responsive by text, we would definitely recommend his place!
One thing to note- the mattress in one of the bedrooms is an air mattress."
1709120,28888382,2015-03-31,1132126,Katrina,"We spent one night in Chris's charmingly updated 1950s cottage while on the road from Texas heading east.  Good communication beforehand made it easy to let ourselves in and relax.  This is a great price for a whole house with two separate sleeping spaces.  (One has an airbed, but quite comfortable.)  We enjoyed the beautifully renovated kitchen, and Chris left great instructions on how to use everything in the house, including the wifi, coffeemaker, and entertainment system.  And she left food for us!  Definitely recommend to other travelers looking for a sweet spot in a quiet family neighborhood!  "
1709120,29829409,2015-04-13,27868081,Melissa,"This is an amazing adorable house.  There were three in our party and this house suited us very nicely.  It was beautifully appointed and the back yard was wonderful.  We all agreed we could live in this house and be very happy.  Chris (host) left us a few food items which was greatly appreciated.  It was nicely located and convenient to all the attractions we waned to see. I would stay at this location again in a heart beat.  Thanks for sharing your home Chris.

Melissa, Meg and David."

Chris's house is quaint, clean, and had everything we needed during our 3 day stay. It's about a 20 min bus ride to downtown, Austin. We'd definitely recommend it to anyone staying in the area."
1709120,31886656,2015-05-11,26649810,Michael,Had a wonderful time in Austin! The house was charming and quiet and just what me and my family needed after a long wedding! Would absolutely stay here again next time I am in Austin.

1709120,39962893,2015-07-27,36288497,Kathleen,"For a weekend getaway with a couple friends this house was perfect! It was close enough to downtown, yet still far enough to enjoy the quiet. The decorations were stylish and pleasant and the house was very clean upon arrival! We loved the kitchen area too for our cooking ambitions and Chris was so thoughtful to provide us yogurt, scones, and berries for a snack if needed. It's the extra mile of hospitality that really made us comfortable.
I would certainly recommend this accommodation!

945496,3694341,2013-03-04,5207115,Emma,"If you're in your 20s, traveling alone, and spending a weekend in Austin, Lindsay's place works well. It's pretty basic, but comfortable. Lindsay wanted me to feel welcome and enjoy Austin; she was friendly, easy to get in touch with, offered tips on what to do, and invited me to join her in activities. I appreciated the effort she made as a host, she had snacks and coffee for me, provided plenty of shampoo, soap, towels, etc. Her place has wifi and netflix, which is a nice touch. She even let me use her bike, which was a much appreciated perk! 

As I said above, if you're traveling solo, it's a good fit. I wouldn't recommend using it for entertaining friends as it is a fairly basic apartment. The location worked well for me to walk (or bike) into downtown Austin. "

She even had a bike available to use which I used to get EVERYWHERE, it proved invaluable. I would have no problem booking this location again on return travels to Austin, which I plan on doing because it's a great city."

The apartment was quiet, the neighbors were friendly, and the surrounding area was safe. We used the wi-fi, but not the television & netflix, but it all worked safely and without hassle. There were plenty of towels, blankets, cups/plates, and really any amenity needed for the kitchen and bathroom. 

We were within walking distance to west 6th bars and restaurants, close to the bus line, and grocery/convenience stores were a quick ride away. We didn't meet Lindsay, but she was accommodating to our late arrival and was flexible when we left the apartment. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
945496,5854876,2013-07-19,7429589,Claire,"This is a great apartment in a lovely neighborhood. Near to a grocery store and a short walk into town. Lindsay is lovely, a great host and made sure I had everything I needed for an enjoyable trip over from the UK. I would highly recommend staying here and will stay again the next time I'm in Austin!"
945496,6265786,2013-08-05,7784955,Alice,"My two friends and I stayed in Lindsay's cozy, humble apartment, which was perfect for our travel needs. We had originally planned to stay only one night, but liked the city so much, we added another day to our trip!  Lindsay made every effort to make sure our needs were met, and was very open in communicating via texts before and during our stay.  When we had an unexpected problem with the bathroom door lock, she immediately offered to come over and help us get it unjammed- bringing her friend and a toolbox to solve the problem.  I'd say that's going the extra mile!"
945496,6830184,2013-08-26,1594815,Niraj,"Clean, comfortable, and good location since we met friends in downtown. We enjoyed the little touches like wifi, parking, and Netflix and also being 10 minutes by walking from Amy's ice cream. Everything worked as stated, and Lindsay was solid at communicating with us."
945496,7088352,2013-09-06,8536892,Leah,"Lindsay's apartment was perfect! Great location, and the off street parking was super convenient. Everything was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be staying with Lindsay on our next trip to Austin! :)"
945496,7089769,2013-09-06,7836827,Perry  & Mayra,"Very helpful in making a last minute booking! Clean and organized! Also, conveniently close to down town ! Quick to keep you informed and attentive! 

"
945496,7166989,2013-09-09,8036949,Mary,"Cute apartment with a quaint feel.  Good location; easy to find.  Super quiet neighborhood, which I fully appreciated.  Lindsay was very accommodating and a lovely person to deal with."
945496,7492308,2013-09-22,581857,Matthew,"Great location and a very charming apartment. I was here for a week on business and found the apartment and location to have everything I needed to make my stay in Austin to be truly memorable. Would highly recommend. 

"
945496,7728946,2013-09-30,9058693,Travis,Great place to stay in a great location.  Lindsay was great.
945496,7808689,2013-10-04,7798768,Kim,"I had a great stay for a few days while I was in town for a conference. I enjoyed the convenience of being near Lamar & 6th as well as a few neighborhood restaurants and stores. The apartment is clean and comfortable, and it had everything I needed to prepare for work and play."
945496,7897387,2013-10-07,8978458,Dennis,"I was in town for ACL and needed a place close to downtown Austin to get away from some of the craziness of staying with my friends. Lindsay was quick to respond, very informative and super helpful.

The place was more than enough for myself, but looks like it could sleep 2-3 people comfortably, it's clean and cozy.

Lindsay's the nicest, next time I'm out that way I wouldn't hesitate to look up again!"
945496,8177865,2013-10-19,9272956,Jen,I loved my stay in Austin.  The apartment was clean and located in such a fun neighborhood.  My only regret was not having more time.  The place was centrally located and close to a great coffee shop called Caffe Medici!  Lindsay was great at giving clear instructions on the apartment and regularly checked in via text during my stay.
945496,8611496,2013-11-08,6964761,Brian,"Nice apartment in a nice part of town.  I rented a car to get to meetings at UT, but could have taken the bus.  6th street is walking distance.  Would stay here again."
945496,8659341,2013-11-11,8640049,Richard,Lindsay was easy to deal with and the accommodation is literally a 15 min walk from all the action on to 6th street with bars as close as 10 mins. It's a good location from which to base your stay in Austin.
945496,8758243,2013-11-16,9813615,Freddy,"Lindsay was Awesome. She accommodated our late late check in (12am). She had great tips for us round town. Also very fast to reply. Room was great, clean, and really easy to get to the bus sup/walk to 6th. High Recommended! "
945496,8903464,2013-11-25,9551170,Jan,"A nice little apartment in a good location. We had fun. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. Short walk to many restaurants and shops. 
I did provide the owner some feedback about small things that could have made our stay better, such as nice towels and two barstools so that we could eat at the counter together. "
945496,9027969,2013-12-02,9771364,Tessa,"I loved Lindsay""s place.  It was clean and cute.  The location was great--the street was in a nice neighborhood and it was very quiet.  Comfy bed and good TV/movie viewing.  Lindsey even dropped off extra towels and blankets!  It is on the small side so perfect for two people.  I would stay there again.
Thanks Lindsay!"
945496,9836530,2014-01-13,3942876,Jacquelyn,"This is a nice, small apartment. Perfect for a short stay in Austin. It is conveniently located - I appreciated being able to walk easily to 6th St. Lindsay is a great host and responded promptly to all my messages."
945496,9948572,2014-01-21,7425082,Linda,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
945496,9958745,2014-01-21,7364013,Ansley,Lindsay's place was great! It was easy to walk to everything I wanted to do while I was in Austin and she was very sweet. She had a lot of tips and advice about Austin and checked in several times with me throughout the visit. Checking in and out was also super easy.
945496,10389812,2014-02-17,8408812,Olivia,Lindsay made everything worry-free from the get-go! She arranged beautiful red roses for us since it was Valentine's weekend and made sure we were well-situated. The big tv at the foot of the bed was a nice treat in the morning after a long night. Would definitely stay here again! 
945496,10440034,2014-02-18,2514070,Steven,"Great stay! Perfect location in Austin , I would definitely come back again!"
945496,10561723,2014-02-24,6848314,Sanam,"Great location in the middle of everything in Austin! Lindsay was a great host, checking in if anything was needed and being very attentive with our needs! "
945496,10723133,2014-03-04,8587890,Christine,"Lindsay and I never met in person, but she was solicitous and would, I am sure, have rallied around if I had needed her for any reason.  Her place is simple, clean and very well-located in an interesting and walkable neighborhood with stores and services and its very own moon tower!  I would happily stay there again.  "
945496,11355705,2014-03-31,2325913,Danny,"I have both pros and cons about Lindsay's place. 

First the pros: It's in a great location for touring Austin. Easily walkable to the groovy downtown area. In a car it's easy to get anywhere in Austin in minutes. It's close to Whole Foods and many other great Austin stores and bars. Never a problem with street parking and there's also a private parking slot in the rear. It's very affordable for having an entire apt. to yourself. Perfect for the budget-minded person. Lindsay was very responsive in all of our communications.

Cons: It's a noisy, not well sound-insulated, older apartment building. Noise from the neighbors upstairs comes right through the ceiling. The apartment itself felt a little run down. I might be spoiled by my other Airbnb experiences, but the feeling of ambiance was seriously lacking. The apt. is furnished in the least expensive way possible (Goodwill maybe), including towels, furniture, decor and paint job. It's great if you're JUST looking for a place to crash and don't care about anything else. But, if you're looking for nice surroundings in a place to stay, I'd suggest spending a bit more money and looking elsewhere."
945496,11542924,2014-04-07,3751638,Danielle,"My brother, sister, and I really enjoyed the cozy apartment. It was a perfect place for us to crash. We liked the neighborhood too! It was a nice walk to 6th street and we also found nice places for coffee and brunch a few blocks away!"
945496,12075834,2014-04-22,12661273,Melissa,I had a great experience at the apartment which is in a great location. I never met Lindsay but she was easily contactable. Would definitely recommend her place for a stay in Austin! 
945496,12204159,2014-04-26,1112090,Kristy,"The place is in a great location, a beautiful safe neighborhood that we loved exploring! Lin's apartment is just as advertised, small and basic, but great for two people. The weather was really warm but the fans keep the place really cool. The linens were all nice and fresh and clean and the apartment itself clean although a little on the older side.
We didn't meet Lin but organizing to get in and out was easy enough and the notes she left about the neighborhood, transport and attractions were really helpful. The only thing I would note is that the bed is well loved and quite squeaky to get in and out of - however it is very comfortable when you are in!
"
945496,12276054,2014-04-28,12433687,Jackie,"Lindsay was a nice host! She was flexible in regards to our check-in/out times and made we felt comfortable reaching out to her if we needed anything. 

The apartment  was clean, with fresh towels and linens, and a kitchen full of dishes if you chose to cook there. The size of the apartment works well for a couple, though there is a couch in the living room that a 3rd person could stay on. The apartment is nothing fancy, but it works perfectly for people who are just looking for a clean, safe place to crash at night. The tv in the bedroom with Netflix was a nice touch and this is random, but the water pressure in the shower is perfect.

It's also a nice distance from good places to explore. The neighborhood is quiet and cute and a nice walk from Caffee Medici and a grocery store a few blocks away. It's about a 15/20 minute walk down to the more affordable parts of 6th street. 

All in all, my husband and I would stay here again. It's a good apartment for a good price."
945496,12600542,2014-05-05,10800695,Brian,"Very charming apartment, very clean and convenient to everything. It's nice to have small touches like a guest book when traveling and am happy when hosts have things like that to get in the spirit of traveling. Great first airbnb experience! "
945496,13089280,2014-05-19,13606546,Jeanine,"Lindsay was great with communication. Clarksville is a great neighborhood, close to downtown, South Congress and the University of Texas. I was able to take a workout class in South Lamar, pick up breakfast at Whole Foods on Lamar, and attend a UT graduation all without the hassle of traffic. The apartment isn't new but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay.  Plenty of clean towels and linens. Clean kitchen, a TV with Netflix. The place is small so I would only recommend two people stay here. 

I would definitely stay here again, based on location alone. "
945496,13369557,2014-05-26,4582947,Matthew,"Lindsay's place was as advertised and Lindsay was great, as other reviews show. The apartment on the ground floor is well spaced and within walking distance of most of what we needed. Lindsay is communicable, accessible and had a great to-do list for us. She also accommodated our late check-in with no hassle... Would highly recommend for a short term stay."
945496,14311526,2014-06-16,11932134,Masoom,Lindsay's apartment was perfect for our weekend in Austin! It's cozy and in a nice and quiet area walking distance (or a cheap cab/lyft) to 6th street and all the action. I'll definitely look to stay here again during my next visit to Austin! 
945496,15683239,2014-07-14,15096312,Ella,"We loved this cute apartment!! My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights with our little 11 month old son and the apartment was perfect. The location was ideal for us, we walked to cafes/restaurants near by for breakfast, to a park for playing and then pretty much everywhere else. 
The location is great! Very quiet (website hidden) was perfect for those warm Austin nights. Having WholeFoods so close was a definite plus as well. We will be recommending this place to any friends that visit Austin and will definitely consider it for future visits. 
Lindsay was helpful and easy to reach when needed as well. "
945496,16582899,2014-07-29,10023668,Tom,"Lindsay was an excellent host from the start. Communicative, thoughtful, and flexible when I needed to add a night, she is a wonderful hostess. "
945496,16952341,2014-08-04,8037369,Tyson,Perfect location. Vintage Austin.
945496,17975097,2014-08-19,4225733,Lauren,"Lindsay went out of her way to accommodate us on our trip. She was responsive and accessible, and even put together little toiletry kits for us. She was an excellent host. "
945496,18901619,2014-09-02,14581808,Jean-Loic,"Lindsay's apartment is very well located, close to downtown and about 15 minutes by bus from the University of Texas. But the space is smaller than we imagined it would be from the pictures,  and the furnitures shoud be improved. The price is too high and, for our second week, Lindsay beeing an attentive and accommodating host, agreed to allow us to continue our stay at a discounted price. "
945496,19057231,2014-09-05,4604180,Beth,Great visit and location. Really enjoyed the spot and time at Lindsay's. 
945496,19796667,2014-09-18,21033649,Chris,Great place to stay. Walking distance to all the sites in downtown austin. We will stay here again on our next trip to Austin. 
945496,20266098,2014-09-26,807356,Jed,"Clean, functional unit in quiet neighborhood with easy logistics."
945496,20742850,2014-10-05,14632831,John,"Lindsay was an amazing host. She was very accommodating and allowed us to check in a little early. The apartment was very cozy and she provided clean towels, toiletries, and Netflix! Her apartment is about a 10 minute drive to East 6th Street which is very convenient.  She checked up on us from time to time and also provided a master list of things to do in Austin. All the rooms were clean and well kept. The neighborhood itself was really safe and we walked back home on a few nights. Uber and Lyft are always just minutes away if needed.  Overall, great experience, 5 out of 5 stars. "
945496,20941995,2014-10-07,173879,Brian,Quiet little apartment near where I needed it to be...
945496,21199955,2014-10-13,8264159,Vicki,"Lindsay was a great host, great communication yet not intrusive at all.  The apartment was exactly as described and convenient to Zilker park for ACL.  Nice safe neighborhood, comfy clean place to stay.  Thanks for a great stay!"
945496,21315494,2014-10-14,562614,Beth,"Lindsay's apartment was perfect and just what I needed for a night's stay in Austin. It was conveniently located in a cute neighborhood that was walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and was the perfect place to catch a good night's sleep. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay."
945496,21485244,2014-10-18,22169329,Ryan,"Lindsay was very accommodating and easy to get ahold of. Though we did not meet in person, she seemed very nice. This was my wife and my first airbnb experience and it was a great one. Theres no way we could have gotten a nice little 1 bed 1 bath apartment that close to the city any other way. Though it was not in the middle of downtown, we were still able to walk to 6th and Rainey streets where all the night life is. Clarksville is a really nice area though in and of itself.  Definitely would recommend! "
945496,21515080,2014-10-19,13000318,Caleb,"Small place, but nice and in a quiet neighborhood not too far from downtown. Lindsay was a courteous hostess. We had a good trip without any issues."
945496,21695442,2014-10-21,782110,Kallista,Lindsay was very responsive which made booking and checking in very easy. The location is easy access to the West side of Austin. Great tiny kitchen that is well outfitted. Bedroom/bathroom are a bit dim but still very clean and cozy. 
945496,21871693,2014-10-26,2196003,Brian,Had a great trip. Everything was as described. Thanks!
945496,21962038,2014-10-27,21265103,Lauren,"Lindsay's place was in a great area. We felt very at home even though we had never been to Austin before! The place is easy to get to and the perfect size for a couple! It was very clean and organized! The city is just a short 10 min Uber ride away. Everything went smoothly and Lindsay was always just a text away. Thank you!

P.S. Walk over to Lynn and 12th st for some fantastic Mexican food at Zocalo Cafe and milkshakes across the street!"
945496,22093020,2014-10-29,23005219,Lindsey,"This was a great little space in a quiet neighborhood. The bed was very comfy and the kitchen was accomodating. We walked just two blocks down and had dinner at the little Italian restaurant and stopped in the grocery store for some late night chocolate treats. The area is also close to downtown, which was very convenient. Also, we asked Lindsay if we could check in early and she was able to go out of her way to make the space ready for us so we could check in ahead of time. "
945496,22299310,2014-11-03,8744260,Suzanna,"Lindsay's place was cozy and well suited to what I was looking for. It's close to a lot of sights and restaurants, and definitely in the path of Uber and Lyft drivers. Initially I had a bit of a lag in response time regarding some questions I had about checking in, but once I was in town communication was good and Lindsay was very friendly and helpful. "
945496,22442648,2014-11-06,15322407,Ryan,"Lindsay did a great job communicating with me leading up to my arrival.  The apartment was cozy, clean and stocked with information about the neighborhood and Austin in general.  I would stay here again.  Clarksville is great!"

945496,22742952,2014-11-13,22997281,Geoffrey,"My girlfriend and I spent three nights at this lovely apartment, located in the Clarksville neighborhood just West of Downtown Austin. It's close to the W. 6th St (good coffee shops/stores there), a pedestrian bridge to the South Austin areas, and just a few walking blocks from the city center. We were surprised how we could walk to literally everything. Apartment was perfect for sleeping or resting a bit in between adventures. Didn't get to meet Lindsay but she was attentive to text message, and left a pile of information about what to do and see around town. Would love to rent again in the future when there's better weather and take advantage of the spot's location to the Colorado River and Barton Springs."
945496,22829295,2014-11-16,21193970,Jacob,"Lindsay was friendly, quick to answer our questions, and seemed genuinely interested in making sure everything went smoothly.

945496,23123937,2014-11-23,23628055,Jordan,"Lindsay made herself available to us and was communicative throughout the trip. The accommodations were as advertised, with nice touches (Starbucks coffee available, first aid kit, etc) that made it feel more homey than a hotel."
945496,23208615,2014-11-25,21291587,R,Lindsay was very communicative and welcoming. All the details were simply and straightforwardly described. The apartment was adorable and a simple 5 minute walk to 6th street. Loved it!

The neighbors were nice and friendly.  Even though I only stayed a day, I could totally picture myself living here!"
945496,23437054,2014-12-01,8310081,Hannah,"Lindsay's place was clean, adorable, and equipped with everything I needed. As described, within walking distance and in charming Clarksville. She was communicative and accommodating. Because it was an apartment complex, there was some noise from the neighbors (children mostly) but this was distracting, but added to the quaint feel of the place. "
945496,23688072,2014-12-08,740339,David,"We had an excellent stay at Lindsay's apartment. It had everything we needed and was in a very cute part of town. Lindsay was also very communicative and made the arrival process as smooth as possible.

Pleasant stay, and great neighborhood -- wish we'd had more time to take advantage of it all."
945496,25337901,2015-01-12,25521879,Melinda,"Great first airbnb experience. The studio apartment was perfect for two people.  The location was great!! Every place we wanted to go was about a 3 mile radius.  I love that we were provided coffee,  good quality shampoo and conditioner and other amenities! Host was very responsive and friendly.  Apartment was clean and cozy.  The bed was soft and comfy too! I will definitely stay here again!"
945496,25478261,2015-01-17,7435066,Kevin,Lindsay was very welcoming and flexible.  Space was as advertised.  Quiet and convenient neighborhood if you're doing anything in downtown Austin.

It was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, but at the same time it was so close to everything.  The host was so gracious about ovulate check in and check out times, which made the experience even better!"
945496,26846615,2015-02-20,5547085,Zeynep,"The flat is in a great area - nice quiet neighbourhood near many cool places. It's a very cute little place that would be perfect for two people. For three, it felt a little small and intimate - the second bed goes in the living room so there is not much space to walk around or any privacy. Lindsay was great and efficient."
945496,26868192,2015-02-21,21016011,Katie,Great location and a really cute little apartment. I stayed just one night with 2 friends and it was perfect. Easy check in and out and Lindsay was available by text if we needed anything. I would definitely stay there again! Thanks Lindsay! 
945496,26942215,2015-02-22,6153916,Rosie,We had a great time staying at Lindsay's place in Austin. We needed a central base from which we could explore the city so this was perfect! Lindsay sent detailed instructions on how and when we could get into the apartment so everything went smoothly. There were three of us staying so she had very kindly made up the airmatress for us which meant it was completely hassle free. Would definitely recommend it! 
945496,27384716,2015-03-03,15894541,Rachel,"Lindsay's place was adorable and had everything I needed. The neighborhood was ideal for getting around anywhere and very safe. As a coffee lover, I appreciated having Medici coffee just up the road! The only thing I didn't realize was that it is on the first floor of a small apartment complex and is not a stand-alone house, so sometimes foot traffic by the front door gets a little noisy. Other than that, it was great. Thanks Lindsay for a wonderful stay in Austin!!"
945496,27642108,2015-03-09,20975942,Destiny,"Lindsay was a wonderful host! Her apartment is exactly as described and in such an awesome location. The neighborhood is welcoming and very quiet. This isn't a party place, if that's what you're looking for. Upon arrival, Lindsay made it easy to check-in and even included information on local things to do, discounts and deals. The apartment was stocked with everything a person would need for a weekend and then some! She made my first airbnb experience wonderful. Thank you! "
945496,28690485,2015-03-28,14485104,Jesus,"This was my first airbnb experience and I really liked it.
Lindsay have given me very accurate instructions for the check-in so, even though we arrived a bit late, it was smooth check-in. We settled quickly, had a quick shower and walk downtown to have night out, diner and drinks on 6th street.
The house was very well prepared and we didn't miss a thing, it is very cozy and comfortable to sleep in. The neighborhood is quiet and located in a little hill so views are really nice, just 30 minutes walk to downtown. In addition to all this, you can park your car on the street or there is a parking spot assigned within a few yards reach from the house.
In the morning, we had a nice coffee and leave for a jog in a near by park. Then back, a shower and ready to go.
It won't be the last airbnb :)."
945496,28919529,2015-03-31,27243321,Mark,This place was great! A single bedroom apartment within walking distance of downtown. I would rent again.
945496,29162083,2015-04-05,4924086,Christina,"We had a great time at Lindsay's place. The place was exactly as described.  The neighborhood was quiet and there was a few restaurant within walking distance. 6th street, as well as Austin attractions, were a very short uber ride. Lindsay made herself available by text. We had such a great time in Austin!"
945496,29576224,2015-04-09,28697507,Anna,Very cute apartment. The shower was a little tricky and felt like it might break at any moment. Lindsay was very sweet and the location is great! I don't think four people could stay here but it was great for 2! 
945496,29652369,2015-04-10,30917337,Matthew,"Lindsay was a great host and accommodated us at the last minute as we were driving to Austin. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The location couldn't be beat as we could walk just about anywhere (6th st, downtown, cafe Medici). Check in and check out were simple. Overall a great experience and I would recommend it for anyone."
945496,29717494,2015-04-11,1147264,Jessica,This was our first AirBnB experience- and it was lovely! It was last minute and we were arriving late- Lindsay was very accommodating and made the process very easy for us. It is a cute little place and we are definitely adding it to our favorites whenever we may need a place to stay downtown in the future! Thank you!
945496,29768477,2015-04-12,28693032,Katie,"Lindsay was awesome! Although we never saw her, she was extremely easy to communicate with and made our first airbnb experience a breeze. Finding the apartment was easy. Lindays's place was clean and cozy. She left us fresh linens, toiletries, tea, coffee, and an extensive list of fun things to do in the area. The apartment is in a neighborhood less than 10 minutes from pretty much everything. It is a first floor unit so it was a little noisy but nothing overly noticeable or uncomfortable! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a home base to explore Austin from! "
945496,30093483,2015-04-17,30239178,Courtney,"Cute neighborhood, not far from UT and Downtown. Apartment was as pictured and Lindsay was very responsive.  She even texted me when the place was ready before Check-In time when she knew I was in town!"
945496,30287628,2015-04-20,4865290,Heather,"We had a great first airbnb experience at this apartment, which features a lovely front courtyard and nice quiet building. The location is terrific; a short walk through a pretty neighborhood takes you to Austin Java, and a bit further south on Lamar are other treasures.  Lindsay helped make our stay easy; she checked in a few days before our trip, sent a detailed text with all the information we'd need around the time we were departing, and was available by text. It was evident that thought and care went into keeping the apartment tidy and ready for guests, with niceties like a variety of coffee and tea on hand,  clean soft sheets, and a ""crib sheet"" with things to do in town and the wifi password. I liked that there was enough room to do a little yoga in the mornings, and refillable pods for the Keurig coffee maker (how cool!) One observation: parking in the designated space is a bit tight, so guests might take this into account when choosing a rental car. We had no problem but a larger vehicle might have to go on the street (on which there is also plenty of free parking, so no problem!) Thanks, Lindsay! We hope to be back!!"
945496,30428405,2015-04-21,1101965,Lesli,"This was a cute place to stay!  Very comfortable and nice.  Agree that it is more suited to 2 people comfortably, 4 might be a little tough but it depends on how close you are.  :)  It was super clean.  I love (long) hot showers and sadly, the water got cold a little earlier than I'd have liked, but it was still great.  As for walking, the location was great, though the distance to things was a little further than I thought.  All of these are just things to keep in mind, but don't let them deter you from staying here!!  "
945496,30697227,2015-04-26,22590193,Matthew,"Excellent location near downtown Austin, walkable to 6th St, Pease Park & UT campus. Lindsay had good communication with me leading up to the weekend, and the apartment was well stocked with everything we needed (linens, paper towels, kitchenware, tea, even, uh... Pez!). I especially liked the welcome notes left on the counter: it gave me plenty of ideas for next time I'm in town. My only regret is not being able to stay longer. I would definitely consider staying here again."
945496,30892129,2015-04-28,30877787,Christine,Lindsay was very receptive and accommodating - even provided early check in.  The apartment was cute and clean and in a nice/quiet neighborhood. 
945496,31402920,2015-05-04,32093306,Bethany,Host was great. Apartment was clean. Half-hour walk from sixth.
945496,31605961,2015-05-07,943101,Jessica,"My husband and I needed a place to crash after a fun and exhausting weekend at Jazzfest.  The home was  clean and fully equipped with all the basics, great place to hang and relax.  Parking was easy and shops close by--would recommend."
945496,31906132,2015-05-11,19400064,Matt,"Lindsay's place was great. The apartment was VERY clean and the bed was comfortable. Close enough to all the action but in a quiet area where you can retreat from everything. Thanks, Lindsay!"
945496,32455656,2015-05-18,2967974,Lizzie,"The apartment was very clean and fit 3 of us perfectly. We also got some great local bar and restaurant reservations from Lindsay that made our trip even better. The apartment is located in a really nice neighborhood, and walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We ended up taking Lyft and Uber all over Austin and found that the rides to most neighborhoods we went to were all under $10 from Lindsay's apartment. Thank you Lindsay for a great trip! We cannot wait to come back to Austin."
945496,32801543,2015-05-21,9141897,Joann,"Lindsay was a great host. She was responsive at all times, even in the late night when we had a question. 

Her apartment was quaint and located in the cutest neighborhood. We were only a few blocks away from great restaurants. I highly recommend Josephines House for brunch!

The place was clean and had everything we needed. However if you like a new modern place, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for an apt with true Austin charm this is it!



 "
945496,32979299,2015-05-24,29958483,Alaina,"Lindsay was a good host she contacted me prior to our arrival and let me know all the details. She even told me that the apartment was ready early, which is great if you are in the city already. The apartment itself was clean, but had some quirks, such as the fact that you had to be careful about how many electronics and appliances were plugged in at once or the circuit would blow. The apartment also only has two prong plugs (Lindsay provided adapters for three prong) which are not grounded. It is what you think of as someone's first apartment. Overall if you are looking for a place to sleep it will work for you."
945496,33134824,2015-05-25,30720216,Stephanie,"Lindsay's place was awesome. Small but cozy, perfect for 2 people. Check-in process was easy. And we walked to downtown 6th street. It's not a bad walk if you like to walk. Off-street parking was a plus for us. "
945496,34308318,2015-06-07,32093399,Alexis,"This was our first experience with airbnb and it was awesome! The neighborhood was cute and we loved exploring the Clarksville area. Lindsay was so easy to work with and communicated all details so well. She also gave so many personal tips on what to do in the area and Austin that made it feel like a friend was telling us what we should check out. The apartment was cozy and comfortable and had everything we needed to have a great weekend. 

We will definitely be airbnb'ing again! :)
Alexis"
945496,34632243,2015-06-10,10734259,Evie,"Lindsay's place was perfect for one person and would be fine for two as well, cozy but had everything I needed! The location is also great, close to everything and a nice neighborhood--just note that it is on a hill that isn't obvious on Google Maps so walking downtown (especially in the current heat) will be a little more strenuous than it looks. But otherwise it was perfect and Lindsay was great to communicate with, totally recommended!"
945496,34961982,2015-06-14,8327989,Jennifer,"This apartment was in a great part of town!  It was clean and well appointed.  Definitely an older building,  but it was so charming."
945496,35528298,2015-06-19,11793352,Ryan,"Lindsay was super kind, helpful, and extremely prepared on all fronts. "
945496,36064063,2015-06-24,20029328,Aaron,The stay was great and the accomodations could have been more clean and what I expected. Lindsay was a great host! 
945496,36236083,2015-06-26,408022,Katy,Lindsay's place was in a good location and was very clean. She was helpful and accommodating! 
945496,36307244,2015-06-27,32289257,Leeta,Had a great night at Lindsay's place in Austin! Perfect location is an easily walkable distance to numerous restaurants and grocery store. 
945496,36457360,2015-06-28,36039756,Michael,"My wife and I recently spent the night in Austin when we traveled there to see a concert. For our very first Airbnb experience, we spent the night in Lindsay's apartment - and the stay was a great one. The apartment was very clean, cool and had all of the amenities to meet our needs and make us feel comfortable. Check-in was extremely easy, and Lindsay was very responsive when I texted her with a couple convenience questions I had. Within the apartment, Lindsay provided an instruction packet that contained everything necessary to be able navigate electronics and all other aspects of the apartment, as well as to navigate around the immediate vicinity and Austin. The apartment is located in a very nice area, and through information listed in Lindsay's packet, I was able to download the ""Lyft"" transportation (taxi) app which came with free introductory rides and was extremely convenient and quick. Basically we were able to get around Austin quickly and without charge during our stay thanks to Lindsay's thoughtful and thorough stewardship. Overall, a lovely stay. I would say that Lindsay has certainly set the bar high for our future Airbnb experiences!  "
945496,36995038,2015-07-03,387783,Stephen,"My wife and I just needed a place to sleep after a late-night arrival to Austin, and Lindsay's place was just what we needed. Clean, cozy, and affordable. It's got a bed, a sofa, a TV with steaming options, bathroom, kitchenette, A/C, and a parking space in a quiet, older apartment complex. Would definitely recommend for two travelers."
945496,37600846,2015-07-08,28192998,Ashley,"I didn't get much time to see the neighborhood and city but Lindsay's apartment was a charming place to stay. It was easy to find and had a lot of little shops and restaurants near by (within walking distance). It was perfect for the one night I spent there, comfortable, and very clean."
945496,37701622,2015-07-09,37162748,Brian,Place was just as described! Highly recommend. Thanks.
945496,37889917,2015-07-11,36374426,Thomas,"The apartment was spotless, the location is great, and the host is very welcoming and helpful.  I highly recommend booking with Lindsay."
945496,40412457,2015-07-30,7989845,Michael,"Cute apartment, clean and as described. Would definitely stay again."
945496,40974314,2015-08-03,10053004,Robert,"We had a wonderful long weekend at Lindsay's place. It was cozy, clean and well appointed and stocked as promised. It is convenient to all the must-go places and met all our needs and more. A happy memory: "
945496,41507375,2015-08-07,39966797,Heather,"Fantastic place for two to stay! It is in a perfect location - whatever you're into, it's nearby. Lindsey left awesome recommendations and was very helpful - book if you can!"
945496,42044791,2015-08-10,19165903,Dawn,The place was very charming! It is on the smaller side but Lindsay was very honest about the size and even offered another place if we were looking for more room. I greatly appreciated that. Lindsay also left a list of things to do in Austin which we found to be very helpful! We would highly recommend.
945496,43574454,2015-08-20,40337586,John,"A great and charming neighborhood and jumping off place to explore downtown Austin and beyond. Cute place with everything I needed! Didn't get a chance to meet Lindsay, but she's great with communication and setting you up for your stay. "
945496,43961730,2015-08-23,37142588,Ashley,"The downtown Clarksville apartment was perfect.  At first glance, the building seems questionable because it doesn't look the nicest, but once you enter the apartment, it is cute, clean and comfortable.  Perfect for 2 people.  Easy access to the apartment and Lindsay was available via text message for any questions.  She also left a nice list of restaurants, things to do, and rental places around Austin.
The location is perfect.  Easy to access several different areas on foot or by bike.  Easy walk to restaurants like Cippollina and Zocolas.  Great cocktails at Josephines.  We also walked to west 6th street for drinks one evening.  Within walking distance to Baylor street graffiti park too.
We rented bikes from a local vendor and also used Lyft to get around.
We had a great time visiting Austin and this apartment was better then a hotel.  We met some neighbors and everyone was so nice!  If we come back to Austin, I would def look to stay here again."
945496,45230564,2015-08-31,21400460,Drew,"Lindsay is a friendly, accommodating host.  Her place is cozy, comfortable, and just right for my needs.  Also, I love the neighborhood.  I'm looking forward to staying there again very soon!"
945496,46426740,2015-09-10,14135661,Larry,"Lindsay was the perfect hostess.  Lots of communication leading up to the trip and a terrific personalized guide to the home, the neighborhood, and Austin sitting on the counter as I walked in.  Though I didn't need to reach out to her, she left several text messages, reminding me that she was available for any advice, assistance, etc.  The home itself, perfect for 1 or 2 people, quiet neighborhood, but within a few blocks from groceries, cafes, and the downtown music scene.  "
945496,46902894,2015-09-14,3273785,Nancy,"I was disappointed in our stay.  I looked for a private home with two beds.  I had let Lindsey know that there would be me and a friend.  Yet when we arrived there was only a single bed and a horrible foam pleather couch (not pictured) with no bedding.  The place is cute, and other amenities were provided, but attempting to sleep on that couch was the worst experience I've ever had outside of camping.  Prior to our arrival I had to contact her three times before finally getting the information on the place just hours before our flight.  Just seemed very lackluster compared with other Airbnb accommodations for the same rate."
945496,47498879,2015-09-19,41822246,Liz,The Host gave easy instructions to get in. It wasn't exactly walking distance to anywhere. The house was neat and tidy. The pictures do make it seem bigger than it is which is fine. 
945496,47662159,2015-09-21,32388538,Amanda,"Wonderful place to stay. There were 4 and we were comfortable. The air mattress (if you need it) takes up most of the living room, but a cozy space, I would stay again."
945496,48328759,2015-09-25,4640134,Valerie,"Lindsay is a great host, easy to communicate with and available for whatever you may need during your stay. The apartment is cute, clean and comfy. Perfect location, close to everything. "
945496,48532013,2015-09-27,30071301,Danny,"Lindsay's place is great! Though small, it is very comfortable and extremely close to many different places in Austin. She didn't make much contact with me until a couple days before my arrival, but once she did she was extremely helpful and attentive. Every question or concern I had (which were minimal), was answered in an extremely quick and efficient manner. I would definitely stay here again!"
945496,49367233,2015-10-03,44279577,Michael,"Wonderful host, location, and apartment. Perfect for two guests. Host was very accommodating. Look forward to another visit in the future."
945496,50185118,2015-10-10,11891580,Caroline,Great apartment in fantastic neighbourhood.  Great location to give you some time out. It has everything you need and is very comfortable. Thanks for the tips!
945496,50420466,2015-10-11,1618236,Dale,Everything went smoothly on a quick trip to Austin.  Everything was just as described and the bed was very comfortable and was a good relief after a long day.
945496,50889169,2015-10-15,30768459,Hilliard,"Good communication with host. No problems with the place - dated, but very clean - and in a good neighborhood. Recommended. "
945496,51599170,2015-10-21,46945380,Jason,Great communication from Lindsay!  Great little bungalow to stay in and experience Austin.  Perfect for a solo traveler trying to get a sense of the city.  
3994067,21232785,2014-10-13,21641548,Dacia,"Julia and Tom were very welcoming and accommodating. The house was lovely, offered a lot of space, and very clean. The location was great, close to downtown Austin! We really enjoyed our stay and I would definitely recommend!"
3994067,21479848,2014-10-18,18399868,Eden,Julia was great! Loved the house! Super cute and clean...didn't want to leave
3994067,21616489,2014-10-20,21363628,Sue,"Julia/Tom are very nice people and are very easy to reach during your stay. They provided everything, from towels to toiletries, and almost all cooking utensils. The home is very spacious and backyard is even bigger. Very comfortable place and enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay here when I come to Austin!"
3994067,21969697,2014-10-27,10130010,Shelly,"Julia & Tom went above and beyond to make us feel welcome,very wonderful home close to every where we wanted to be, 5 stars !!
"
3994067,22091714,2014-10-29,4037275,Zach,Very accommodating host. Interior was clean and decorated nicely.
3994067,22305080,2014-11-03,21677902,Fabiola,"This was my first time using airbnb and I was really nervous, however it turned out to be an excellent experience. Julia and Tom were amazing hosts, the house was in great conditions, just as is showed in the pictures, location is only 10 minutes from downtown (by car) and individually and as a group (we were 3 couples) consider this a way better choice than a hotel. I totally recommend it."
3994067,22652912,2014-11-11,15696226,Erin,"Julia and Tom were very nice and very accommodating.  The pictures are all accurate.  We really enjoyed having the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and there was plenty of space for all of us to hang out.  We did have a car, so that helped when wanting to go downtown because it is too far to walk, but UberX was also about $12.  We found everything we needed and Julia even provided restaurant suggestions.  We felt at home and if you are looking for a place to sleep 4-5 people or a family, this is a great option.  Thanks for everything!    "
3994067,23815438,2014-12-11,23453180,Yasmin,"Our stay in Austin was wonderful - a huge part of this was due to this awesome rental property for our family.  The size, location, and amenities were exactly what we were looking for/needed in Austin.  Tom and Julia were very accommodating with our schedule and offered an extremely pleasant experience during our stay; it felt like our home away from home!  We would strongly recommend this listing for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, spacious, and quiet stay in Austin - it's fairly central to everywhere you would want to be.  "
3994067,23950348,2014-12-15,23379533,Stephanie,"We had a lovely stay!  Julia and Tom were very friendly and accommodating.  The house is lovely, roomy, and comfortable.  We look forward to staying again!"
3994067,24845099,2015-01-03,14483916,Elizabeth,"Nos fue excelente, la casa es bastante amplia y cómoda, todo muy limpio, era justo lo que buscábamos."
3994067,25055679,2015-01-05,22583737,Nathan,"This place was really perfect.  We were in town for a wedding at the Driskill hotel on 6th st.  So I wanted a place kind of equidistant from the airport and the venue.  If you plan on flying in and taveling to downtown/university district you literally couldn't ask for more.  It was no more than a $10-15 uber ride each way.  

The hosts are so nice! They live right nearby so they are there if anything comes up even though our trip went very smoothly.  They met me at the house and showed me around which made me feel very welcome.

Beds are comfortable and there is plenty of space as well as a backyard.  Really nice coffee maker too with a grinder.  

Definitely can't go wrong with this place I recommend big time.  

Thanks guys!"
3994067,25358626,2015-01-13,185367,Mindy,"Tom & Julia were great hosts - I met Tom when we checked in and he was easy to contact over the weekend.  And they're just a short walk away if you have any questions!  We were really pleased to be able to have all of my boyfriend's immediate family stay in one cozy place (with 2 bathrooms!) while our house is in the middle of some renovation work.  The kitchen & living rooms are huge, compared to our tiny house - they were great for hanging out and playing games after the end of a long day out & about in Austin.  There's a small skyline view from the back porch and the yard was long & fenced - great for our two pups to run around in, in spite of the dreary weather we had while we stayed.  The proximity to MLK Station & the Boggy Creek Greenbelt/Rosewood Park was a big perk.  Our group could easily get around on the Metro Rail, and I took advantage of the Greenbelt with a nice 3mi run one day.  All in all, a great visit!"
3994067,25546443,2015-01-19,10924375,Christina," Initially I booked this listing just to ensure my friends had a close place to stay after a show in Downtown Austin instead of heading back to San Antonio, however Julia and Tom ensured we had the best possible experience in the short time we were in there.  

Julia and Tom really do host a gem of a home.  Every area of the house is filled with great art, books, and is all around cozy.  The kitchen was great for anyone looking to entertain while they cook, I have a large family that tends to gather around the kitchen, so there was certainly a very homely feel.  Each room was spacious, clean, and cozy.  Plenty of lounging space all around the house, and impeccably clean.  

This home was welcoming enough to just lounge around all day, however Julia and Tom provided several great recommendations for local spots to check out that were with in a 5mi radius of their home.  

Thy suggested we visit a local pasta truck and farmers market, and both were excellent recommendations.  By the end of this trip my entire party left convinced that they should either visit Austin more often, or move permanently move!  

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience, we cant wait to come back!"
3994067,25809631,2015-01-26,22219921,Hope,"This is a very spacious and cute house in a convenient part of town. Less than 10 min from downtown, about an $8 Uber ride. It looks just like the picture. I will say that the person who likes the firmest sleeping style should take the Futon. Its not soft at all. My friend loved the room so much that she dealt with it. Tom was very nice. Everything was organized and clean. It was my birthday and they left a nice surprise for us. I was very sad because the very cute and funny slippers that Julia left for us were too small for all but my friend. They were very accommodating to our travel plans as well. It was very helpful. Overall we want to thank them for adding to a great trip and I will be looking at this property first on my next trip. THANKS GUYS!!"
3994067,26067616,2015-02-02,26174439,Ryan,"This was an awesome house, and everything is exactly as described.  The house is clean and well appointed, the location is convenient for Austin as a whole, and Julia and Tom were very accommodating and flexible during the check-in process.  They even provided a few extra blankets when asked.  We would definitely use this property again in a similar situation.  Thanks!"
3994067,26988873,2015-02-23,26076723,Deidre,"Tom & julia were so accommodating and friendly!! The made great recommendation about the area which was so helpful given it was our first time in Austin. 

The house is close to the airport as well as downtown so it was perfect for a long weekend in Austin!! The house is clean, spacious and so cute! Would definitely recommend this place! 

Thanks again for everything Tom & Julia! Our group had a great trip :)"
3994067,27326382,2015-03-02,25073920,Megan,"Julia and Tom were so helpful and accommodating, and we loved this cute space! It was spacious and bright inside, with everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. They even provided us with coffee beans to grind and brew! If we ever needed anything, they were right next door to answer questions or bring something over. It was the perfect home for our weekend away. "
3994067,27763518,2015-03-11,26713397,Sarah,"Julia and Tom were awesome hosts! They were very friendly and accommodating. The house was exactly as pictured and a perfect location. Everything was approximately a 15 min drive from the house. The house was very clean and cozy! We would highly recommend this home, thanks Julia and Tom for being such great hosts! "
3994067,28121903,2015-03-18,8111671,Andrew,"Julia and Tom were incredible hosts. They made the whole of SXSW an even more amazing experience, even going so far as bringing round a home cooked dinner on one evening. The house was beautiful, the location friendly and welcoming, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Austin that is close to downtown."
3994067,28654144,2015-03-28,10624670,Joy,"Julia and Tom were friendly and responsive.  The neighborhood was a bit rougher than what we expected, but once inside the house it was as pictured on AirBNB and suited our needs.  "
3994067,28805549,2015-03-30,10456536,Kate,"Julia was super nice, the house was clean and as advertised, and we had a very good experience overall. Great place to stay in Austin!"
3994067,29276300,2015-04-06,26211955,Lisa,"We had a great stay at Tom and Julia's home.  The home is as described in the photos, with cool decor elements that make the house comfortable and interesting.  We had 7 girls and the home fit us all comfortably, both for sleeping and hanging out. Tom and Julia were very friendly and welcoming, meeting us upon arrival and taking care of any questions/concerns right away.  They live next door, which is convenient.  We had one slight issue with operating one of the showers and they came over within an hour and fixed the issue.  The house is a little too far out from downtown to rely just on walking, but ubers are plentiful and the savings on this rental vs. a place right down town made it worth it!  Overall, we had a great time and highly recommend this rental!"
3994067,29823156,2015-04-13,5253078,Brenda,I enjoyed my stay and Tom and Julia were very friendly and accommodating. The house was beautifully decorated and had comfortable beds. I would definitely recommend it!
3994067,30094977,2015-04-17,30055272,Miguel,Everything went very well. Tom greeted us at check-in and the house was very clean and confortable. I would highly recommend their home to anyone that needs a good place to stay in Austin.
3994067,30782159,2015-04-27,29280344,Wendi,"Rented the house for a girls' weekend in Austin. Julia and Tom were wonderful hosts. They greeted us at check-in, answered any and all questions, and were always reachable. The photos were a tad misleading (the furniture in the living room could be updated, and the neighborhood is about a 10-15 minute Uber to downtown, not 5), but overall the house was great for what we needed it for."
3994067,31932949,2015-05-12,16190030,Thomas,"There were fresh flowers in the living room and kitchen. The host gave us a tour of the house and told us to text him if we needed anything. Later in the evening we needed washclothes so I texted him about 10:30 and he brought them right over. 
The neighborhood was quiet with sidewalks to walk around. It was also very close to Psych Fest. 
The house was clean and comfortable. We had room to stretch out and relax. "
3994067,32688751,2015-05-20,12591169,Alessandra,"My family and I really enjoyed staying at Julie and Tom's place for a couple of days on our roadtrip to California. The house was cute, clean, and a perfect amount of room for six people. They were very easy to communicate with and made the check in and check out process seamless even though we arrived much later expected. We would definitely stay again."
3994067,34529449,2015-06-09,4782103,Adam,"Great stay at Julia and Tom's - air con a lifesaver as was so hot in Austin! Very accommodating hosts - to the point Tom let us use his smoker next door to cook some wonderful brisket. Wonderful stay, great location - easy access to town. Thanks so much guys, will be back in the future :)"
3994067,35250549,2015-06-16,34665117,Lindsey,"This lovely house was exactly what we expected for our stay in Austin. We were greeted by Julia as soon as we arrived and she ensured that we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. She even pointed us in the direction of some tasty, local margaritas! The house was nice and clean in a safe neighborhood. We didn't have to drive more than 15 minutes for anything that we needed. If we return to Austin, we will surely come back to this location!"
3994067,37386043,2015-07-06,34859222,Claire,We came to Austin over Fourth of July weekend and we had a great time.  There were six girls in our party and the house was plenty spacious for all of us.  The house was very clean and well kept.  The neighborhood looks a little rough but we never felt unsafe at any point.  The pictures of the home were very accurate.  Overall great time and great house!
3994067,38203892,2015-07-13,10651109,Camille,"Julia and Tom were very communicative and made it super easy to get into the house. Their instructions were simple and the house was easy to find, and in a convenient location, close enough to all of our weekend activities, but situated in a quiet, up-and-coming neighborhood. The house looked accurate from the photos and even had a deck in back, though it was too hot for us to take advantage. "
3994067,43146365,2015-08-17,40393808,Andy,"Julia and Tom were amazing host and are very professional in the way they handle their airbnb property. The place was immaculate and incredibly comfortable. Everyone felt right at home. Notes were left throughout the house with instruction and kind words. The place was surprisingly spacious and beautifully decorated. The neighborhood is a quiet one, and the location relative to everything in Austin is truly ideal. Would easily and quickly re-book with Julia and Tom. Thanks again y'all for your hospitality!"
3994067,45200575,2015-08-31,42421007,Sean,"The owner was extremely helpful and kind. Any issue was resolved instantly. The atmosphere was very pleasant, the area was a lot better than what it looks like. Overall had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again."
3994067,47695451,2015-09-21,396719,Christi,Clean and spacious. I would definitely stay there again!
3994067,50749755,2015-10-14,3800634,Justin," The house was well furnished. It was spacious, beds were comfortable, and the house was clean and nicely decorated. Neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located to many area attractions. Owners provided ideas for local activities and good communication throughout our
visit."
3994067,51473656,2015-10-20,45114634,Kristen,"Tom and Julia are so great.  They were incredibly flexible with our travel schedules which was amazing!  The house is so happy and comfy, and the location is ideal to see all of Austin.  I would absolutely stay there again.  It is very convenient that Tom and Julia live next door also because if you need anything,
It's right next door! "
365471,989663,2012-03-11,1866771,Marielle,"Super helpful, amazingly responsive.  Lovely home, comfortable and fabulous location for SXSW!"
365471,1000790,2012-03-14,1866771,Marielle,"Great location for SXSW!  Nice house, clean, nice kitchen!  "
365471,3770972,2013-03-13,3201588,Patrick & Rachel,"This was a great location for SXSW! Kade was very accommodating and helpful before and during our stay, and he made sure we had everything we needed. The house was clean and comfortable and we were very happy with it."
365471,8719888,2013-11-13,9621726,Erik,"Kade's house was clean, uncluttered, and recently renovated. It was very easy to get comfortable. Kade was quickly responsive to all of our emails and questions, with helpful suggestions on places to go. The best part of the house is the location next to E. 6th Ave and downtown - November in Austin was like June in Portland. We walked everywhere from the house to S. Congress,  to U Texas, to LBJ museum, and the house was a great base. The neighborhood looks to be developing quickly with food cart pods, art spaces, hip small businesses, and multi-use condos, and we felt safe. The freeway is close but didn't feel intrusive."
365471,9508931,2013-12-31,2893702,Hunter,"Kade's house is awesome! Very clean and stylish, in a charming historic Austin neighborhood. East side vibe but only a short walk from downtown. Some friends and I visited to see a 4 night concert series and we walked to the venue every night (on Red River and 7th).

Entry and exit was a breeze. Lots of privacy. We comfortably slept 4 and everybody had their own bed. The Little Mermaid theme in the bunk bed room is awesome!"
365471,10542476,2014-02-24,7742251,Paul,Cool place and a good location. I would definitely stay there again.  Definitely would recommend  this place to my friends. 
365471,10874871,2014-03-11,10572849,Rodrigo,"We had a great time at SXSW and this was partly due to the great experience we had staying with Kade. His house is perfectly situated - 10min walk to the Convention Center and on the way is the food truck parking lot!

The house is medium sized and very comfortable for 4-6 people. We were only 3 and wished we had invited a couple more people.

We hope to stay with Kade again next year!"
365471,11756125,2014-04-14,13169909,Andrea,Kade's place was perfect for a girl's weekend. Plenty of space and walking distance to Rainey Street. Kade was quick to respond to all questions and a great host!
365471,12334974,2014-04-29,11661606,Scott,"Rarely is a place better looking in person than in the advertisement pictures, but this place is! Comfortable, modern, and clean. Located in a nice, quiet neighborhood just a short walk away from Rainey Street. We will definitely book it again when we return to Austin!"
365471,13139287,2014-05-20,13352622,Matty,Kade was awesome. Really great guy and easy to work with. House was great with a really nice kitchen and big back yard. Thanks Kade! 
365471,20354655,2014-09-28,6271539,Donna,"My family and I stayed at Kade's place for an extended weekend in Austin.  The location of the house was great - within walking distance to Rainey St., great eating spots, and very accessible to downtown.  I also very much appreciated Kade's responsiveness and thoughtfulness (leaving us water, snacks, and a local map for our reference).  He was easy to work with, and we were glad that we rented a house of our own rather than getting a single room at a hotel.  "
365471,21913257,2014-10-26,22506017,David,We had a wonderful time. Excellent location. Owner was very easy to communicate with and had food recommendations and beer upon arrival. Minor problem with lack of window coverings but looks like that is getting remedied. I recommend it.
365471,24458530,2014-12-29,7532521,Jordan,"Place was great, my family and I spent xmas at DKs. The place was clean and delivered as promised. The host was incredibly responsive whenever we had a question about the wifi etc. location location location. The place is so centrally located in austins best neighborhood. Walkable to downtown, Rainey, and tons of great easy Austin treats. Would def recommend if you want an authentic experience. "
365471,26612453,2015-02-16,2031382,Ethan,We stayed here over a long weekend and had a great time.  Very comfortable.  Very clean.  Perfect location.  D.K. made it very easy.
365471,27522334,2015-03-06,16441472,Mo,"This place was awesome! It was in a very cool, funky neighborhood that was both quiet and (website hidden) was extremely gracious and welcoming. The house had everything we needed and he had plenty of great recommendations for places to visit nearby. This place certainly made our Austin visit great. Would absolutely recommend it and will keep it in mind if I'm back in town."
365471,27990188,2015-03-16,24524527,Jayshri,"We made a smart decision by booking this sweet home for SXSW 2015. With a group of people coming from all over the country, being so close to the Austin Convention Center (walking distance) made life much easier. We had a wonderful host who was helpful, flexible and super responsive! Austin is a bustling city, so having a comfortable space to come back to at the end of the day made all the difference. "
365471,28728871,2015-03-29,4930878,Sumit,"The place was just as described. We had a small bachelor party in Austin and this was homebase for us.  At 6 adults it was just the right size. The backyard was great and quiet. The sound system and TV was fantastic for getting into the groove before going out for the night (and catching a little March Madness).  Bed's comfy and the place was immaculately clean.  Location was even better than originally planned being just a short walk to the heart of Rainey street. Would definitely stay here again. 

"
365471,29747989,2015-04-12,28724313,Eric,Great house in a really convenient part of the city. Walking distance to great restaurants and bars.
365471,30678043,2015-04-26,9040485,Hani,"Stayed at the house for a weekend with some friends.   The pictures listed are an accurate description.  Nice furniture and decor. There was also a backyard with some seating that was nice.  Kade made everything easy and simple and even had new toiletries waiting for us to go with a Starbucks gift card.  Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean.  No complaints about the house at all. I'd recommend staying at this house. 

I'd say this house fits 4 or 5 comfortable by all standards and up to 8 or 9 if you don't cramming it in. 

Enjoyed the location.  Within a 15 min walk to Rainey and 6th st or a cheap Uber ride. Quiet street so we didn't feel like we were in the middle of the madness.  Very close to La Barbecue with was one of my favorite experiences in Austin. 

"
365471,31191167,2015-05-03,29445798,Deep,"We stayed at this house for a weekend, the location was perfect, right next to Rainey Street and all the festivities found there.  Close enough that people can all stumble home at various hours without getting lost! Awesome deck to chill on in backyard also."
365471,33090400,2015-05-25,6455712,Abby,Kade was great! He accommodated an early arrival time and a later departure time for us. We were welcomed with a Starbucks gift card and a clean home. The location is just close enough to downtown Austin and a short walk to Rainey Street. It's a nice neighborhood street with kind neighbors. I would definitely stay here again. 
365471,34970716,2015-06-14,26216727,Jasmin,House was very clean and organized. The visit to Austin was a great experience!
365471,38921462,2015-07-19,735296,Mahrad,Great host. Exactly as described. Walking distance to Rainey and 6ths street bars. Would recomend with 5 (website hidden) was great to work with and easy going. 
365471,44365955,2015-08-25,14078659,Avery,"This spot is great! I recommend DK's home for anyone coming to Austin and looking for a place convenient to everything. We were able to walk or take a short Uber everywhere we needed to (website hidden) was very helpful and accommodating, and the home is super comfortable. We will be back! "
365471,46156056,2015-09-08,17297223,Frank,Great house in a fantastic location.  Plenty of room for our entire family
365471,47639538,2015-09-21,7308629,Deanna,"Walk to convention center is more like 25 minutes. Quick and cheap taxi rides (yellow cab) come within minutes of calling. 

Space fits 6 comfortably, especially with the half bath for getting ready!

Pleasant stay. Very true to pictures and description. "
365471,49422390,2015-10-04,33269366,Gilbert,"This property is perfect for a weekend trip to Austin.  We were there for ACL Fest 2015 and the house is  very convenient to downtown Austin.  The House is very spacious with three rooms and very clean.

The host, DK, is very helpful and quickly answers any concerns we had.

I will definately consider this house again when staying in Austin again."
365471,50276580,2015-10-11,38366450,Meredith,It was great staying at this location! We had recommendations of places to go in the area. Getting into place was so easy working with Kade. He was prompt with his responses over text and willing to give any information that was needed. 
365471,52036471,2015-10-26,6567528,Janine,"DK was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and his house is amazing. Staying here made our trip to Austin fabulous and what a great location!!"
7650036,42087139,2015-08-10,11429331,Allan,My friend and I had a great stay at Leslie's apartment. She was a great host - promptly answered any questions I had and was always available if we needed anything. She was flexible with our arrival and departure schedules. Her place is very neat and clean. It's definitely not far from downtown. I would recommend her place to anyone. We had a great experience staying at her apartment. 
7650036,46231680,2015-09-08,11429331,Allan,No complaints. This was the second time I stayed at Leslie's. She's an awesome host. I definitely recommend her place. 
7650036,47992935,2015-09-22,41472044,Melissa,"Great time. Great apartment. 
Leslie was available, reliable, and helpful. 
Great spot! Fun stay. Thanks, Leslie "
7650036,50711509,2015-10-13,5041029,Sharalee,Leslie's place was very convenient for our travels. She met us promptly as soon as we arrived and gave us the tour. Her place had a great vibe that probably reflects her personality. We used a lot of her suggestions for touring around and eating. Much appreciated.
8341818,49687258,2015-10-05,1310123,Mark,This place was great. Perfect location for ACL. Meredith was a great host - always in contact to make sure we got there OK and had everything we needed.
8341818,50520841,2015-10-12,32710518,Katie,This place is incredible! So close to Zilker but without the noise of being across the street. Meredith is amazing! She was so helpful and gave us excellent recommendations. Everything we needed was given to us and then some! I would recommend this place and Meredith!
319958,1002025,2012-03-15,1657257,Anna,The house was everything we expected. The location was great except that it is out of the downtown core so you might find yourself trapped in rush hour if you are travelling during those times but during non peak times it is really quick. There is a that lives in the house. If you are travelling with anyone with allergies this may not be the house for you. The house was beautifully renovated and furnished with clean towels and sheets. It is a 3 bedroom house but only 2 of the bedrooms have beds. Colby even provided us with a basket full of Texas goods- such a nice touch. Overall it was great accommodations!
392345,2584062,2012-10-11,3099366,Lucinda,We stayed at Christina's apartment for 4 days and it was fantastic. Very bright and extremely spacious with all mod cons. The decor and overall feeling in her place is absolutely lovely. The hub of South congress is no more than a 5 min drive away.... and within walking distance is La Fuentes- best Mexican brunch ever! Christina was super helpful and made some great recommendations  for food/shopping. Highly recommend this place.
392345,2624806,2012-10-15,3806658,Brittany,"Christina's flat was extremely clean and tidy! She left many great recommendations on places to go,and could not have been friendlier! I highly recommend this space in Austin, as it is on the bus route ($2.00 will get you around for 24 hours!). It was very easy for us to make our way downtown, as well as stops for food trucks and shopping on the way. Perfectly priced, especially for ACL weekend."
392345,2692756,2012-10-22,1110434,Robert,Christinas place is very nice.  I love the wall that lets in so much light.  She was very inviting and even left me stuff to make breakfast each morning.  Her apt is very clean and well kept.  I would definately recomend her when staying in Austin.
392345,2766192,2012-10-30,3758304,Becca,From the moment I unlocked the door I felt at home. Christina has a lovely stylish loft that was all too accomidating. I was able to prepair several meals in the kitchen with all the amminities I needed. The bed was an extra comfy queen size with a pillow topper that made me feel like I was in a 5 star hotel. I will definatly stay at Christinas Vintage loft again.
392345,2814530,2012-11-05,3924544,Missy,"Christinas loft was immaculate ! and adorable ! She was so nice - we had a change of plans because of hurricane sandy and ended up arriving early (about 6 hours), Christina accommodated us on very short notice and on a work day, we were very grateful! She also offered to extend our stay if we needed to because of the storm. She left us with a great list of restaurant suggestions (Austin has the best food!). We would definitely stay at the Vintage Loft on South Congress again, Thanks Christina :) "
392345,2872357,2012-11-12,4080500,Cynthia,I really enjoyed staying at Christina's loft.  It was very clean with a creative and eclectic decor.  The kitchen was stocked with all the equipment  needed to prepare meals. All the appliances were updated and the bed was super comfy.  Christina made the details of the arrangement effortless.  I would definitely book with her again!!
392345,2960473,2012-11-25,4138569,Katrin,"Christina's loft was absolutely lovely and perfect for our short getaway over Thanksgiving.  The apartment was conveniently located near downtown and many sites of interest. The apartment was well equipped, and the kitchen was very nice to cook in. Overall, great amenities, and a bright and refreshing place to stay.  (My one small concern was the heavy use of air fresheners which may be a problem for those who are sensitive or have allergies.) "
392345,3032383,2012-12-05,4159832,Ginger,"Christina's loft was perfect!  We had everything we needed at our disposal. The space had a clean, vintage yet modern appeal.  Loved the lighting!!!
 She was readily available and a great communicator.  Upon returning to Austin, regardless of other options...I would book with her again!!"
392345,3154278,2012-12-25,3745175,Tina,"I had a fantastic 3 week stay at Christina's apartment while in the process of relocating to Austin. The location is great and decorated beautifully. I felt so comfortable and right at home. Christina is also a gracious host. I found her and her neighbor Yvette to be invaluable resources as I explored my new home city. I'd recommend her apartment to anyone looking to explore Austin short-term or long-term.    
"
392345,3410734,2013-01-25,516587,Dennis,"Christina's Loft is sunny, quiet, clean and stylish.  I stayed for about a month and loved it.  "
392345,3438260,2013-01-29,2496412,Alissa,"I had the most perfect stay at Christina's loft apartment! Every detail about her place is perfection! So conveniently located, with out being in a super congested area, impeccably clean, tastefully decorated & super comfy. I'd love to stay at Christina's loft again! Not only is her place wonderful, but Christina herself is super helpful, patient & easy to speak with! All in all I had a perfect Airbnb experience! Thanks Christina! "
392345,3474855,2013-02-04,637368,Jennifer,"I enjoyed staying at Christina's loft. It's super cute and well decorated and she was very cool with my friend bringing her adorable dog along for the weekend.  
The location wasn't as central as I had though (it's on the main road but pretty far away from downtown)- but it's fine if you have a car. 

There were a few things broken in the apartment that I would have liked to know about beforehand, but I'm sure they'll be fixed by time the next visitor arrives.  Just check with Christina on the status as she's super responsive and friendly.
Overall a great stay!"
392345,3649255,2013-02-27,3553063,Dave,"Christina's place is easily the best decorated apartment I have ever stayed with AirBNB!  The bed was really comfy and having a full size washer and dryer was nice for me since I'm traveling for a few weeks. Only thing I would change is I wish it were a little closer to downtown, but that didn't stop me from loving the place.  "
392345,3685163,2013-03-04,4829596,Matthew,"Great apartment that is clean, well maintained and well furnished.  Only reason this is not a 5/5 is because of location, about 15-20 minute trip into downtown Austin.  Christina was accessible both before and during my stay and I would recommend this place strongly."
392345,3770778,2013-03-13,2423633,Dave,"Christina is an excellent host. We never met in person, but her communication was clear and quick every time. 

The condo is comfortable and funky. It has everything you need to ensure you enjoy your time in Austin. The Wi-Fi was fantastic too, which was crucial for me. 

The space is about 5 miles from downtown. If you are on a budget, I recommend taking the city bus for $1. The spot is right across the road from the condo and the journey is about 30 minutes. The full schedule is here: (website hidden) . Cabs back at night from downtown are about $20. 

I loved this spot and plan to return next year! "
392345,3853781,2013-03-21,2139310,Lisbeth,"Christin's loft apartment is just like you see in the photos - and in reality, is totally charming with everything we needed for our stay.  We love her style of decorating and were ever so happy we chose her place as we had lots of paperwork to do (including tax returns!) and no place could have been as nice for spending our days cooped up inside catching up.  We should note that had we been intent on touring Austin - it is a drive to get up to the city center.  However, we found enough restaurants and shops nearby for what we needed so the location was not a big issue for us.

From start to finish she was responsive and all was in perfect order when we arrived.  We would highly recommend Christina and the loft."
392345,3906694,2013-03-26,1445555,Helen,"I absolutely loved this studio/loft! It was bright, clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and the bed was super comfy. I slipped into feeling right at home quite naturally. I was able to communicate with Christina whenever I had a question. One of the neighbors played music too loud one night but it didn't go on late. Overall I had an exceptional time and would stay there again if I returned to Austin. Thanks for being such a delightful hostess!"
392345,4183940,2013-04-16,1105217,Michelle,"Very charming and clean!  We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend. The location was a central location for us since we were exploring all of Austin.  A word of advice....if you're planning on catching a cab to head downtown, it's best to just bus it (and the bus stop is right across the street).  We would have had an 1hr 1/2 wait.  Very nice place....one of the best I've stayed in.  "
392345,4265915,2013-04-23,4848836,Veronica,Had a wonderful time in Austin! Christina's place is clean and comfy! Thanks for being a great host!
392345,4313367,2013-04-27,5387646,Debbie,"Christina was a lovely host and the place is beautifully decorated, it made us feel right at home! I would totally stay here again, the place was very comfortable and clean. Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
392345,4340882,2013-04-29,32312,Jennifer,"Christina's loft was absolutely perfect! Cozy and comfy!  The drive into downtown isn't bad at all, 15 minutes at the most! It's in a great location if you're doing day trips around Austin! I would definitely stay here again!"
392345,4458831,2013-05-06,5987508,Ronald,"Christina's apartment was a great place to call home for my birthday weekend in Austin.  My wife loved the look and feel of her apartment.  She even thinks she picked up a few ideas for decorating our own house.   The location on S. Congress was great.  We were only a few minutes drive from all the places we wanted to go.  Since it is just off 71, we had easy access getting to all the other major freeways in Austin.  I would definitely recommend this place to friends and anybody reading this."
392345,4658496,2013-05-19,4847156,Amy,Christina's apartment was immaculate and homey. The air conditioner stopped working but she had it serviced quickly and refunded us for the time we were there when it wasn't working. The apartment location is quite south of the actual South Congress neighborhood. If you have a car it's no problem. There is also a bus stop directly across the street which will take you into the city in 15-40 mins depending on your destination. 
392345,4941681,2013-06-03,1381998,Jazmin,"Christina was a lovely host and her loft was simply perfect.  It had all the comforts that I needed for my weekend trip and she was great with suggestions of places to go and how to get around.  The apt is bright, spacious and very clean.  It's not exactly within walking distance to anything but overall, I enjoyed my stay.  "

"
392345,7191511,2013-09-10,6608578,Kim,Our stay at Christina's loft was wonderful. My best friend and I felt like we lived in an Anthropologie store. Homegirl has got serious style. She even texted us to make sure we got in okay. 
392345,7912523,2013-10-08,6289414,Lauren,"We stayed for ACL 2013. Great set up, very clean and modern. TONS of natural light. Christina was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. "
392345,8230947,2013-10-21,1710430,Audrey,"Christina's place is the perfect place to stay for an Austin vacation. The location is central, but not at all crowded. The loft itself is clean, organized and comfortable, while offering all of the comforts of a home. Our stay at Christina's place was much better than any stay in a hotel, and much more stylish at that! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to slip on down to ATX. "
392345,8433642,2013-10-30,2971716,Chantal,"Christina's place is super cute and exactly as pictured! My boyfriend even took a few pictures to show his friends how awesome the interior design was. There was a bed, comfortable couch, full bathroom with a stacked washer/dryer, full kitchen (stove, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, coffee maker), cute sewing table desk. There were interesting books (the Birthday one was neat). Christina was sweet and made sure everything was fine when we arrived and even accommodated a later checkout time. There was an issue with the sink not draining well and she was very quick to respond. There was ample free parking and everything was within a 10-15 minute drive away. It was a great base to explore Austin which was exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended and my boyfriend and I considered this place a jewel on AirBnb! "
392345,8694157,2013-11-12,5277856,Marianne,"Really comfortable and adorably decorated space. About a 10 minute drive to the trendy stretch of South Congress, very convenient for the sightseeing that we did. Highly recommend her space to anyone visiting Austin!"
392345,8778284,2013-11-18,5754269,S Renee,Very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.  The kitchen and Bosch gas range are a pleasurable alternatives to dining out.  Location was excellent.  It was very easy to use the side streets to get around Austin and Race weekend traffic.   Would consider staying here again.  Note it is on second floor with no elevator.  
392345,8849184,2013-11-21,8694061,Maryanna,"Her place was super clean and right next to public transportation making it a synch to get around. She was very access able since we did have questions, but she always answered right away. Great place, thank you!!"
392345,8910858,2013-11-25,353967,Jodie And Megan,"Nice place, very spacious, ended up wanting/needing a car to get to the shopping/dining/drinking parts of town but mostly because it was cold and raining in Austin when we were there and the bus seemed like a slow and cold idea."
392345,11043981,2014-03-18,6402539,Sidse,"We had such a lovely stay at Christinas loft in Austin. It was a bit far out of the city (approx a 35min busride from the centre), but the flat was beautifully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. 
Christina was a great host and helped us with getting in to the apartment and let us know about the ins and outs of Austin. 

Would definitely recommend everyone booking with Christina!"
392345,15364189,2014-07-07,11371708,Tom,"My wife and I enjoyed a great experience staying in Christian's loft apartment. The apartment was clean, well furnished and had all the amenities we were looking for."
392345,16803767,2014-08-02,11458972,Lesley,Christina was very accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process. The listing is pretty accurate in relation to the description provided. I appreciated her high quality amenities and would recommend anyone with a pet or significant other to stay for a few days to enjoy Austin. 
392345,17468578,2014-08-12,18610400,Jennifer,"My husband and I didn't get to meet Christina, but she was helpful from a distance. She responded to my questions in a timely manner each time I had one. She gives fantastic suggestions in her guidebook. I recommend putting those suggestions in your notes in your phone, because the guidebook is not accessible through iPhone or iPad. 
Her place is exactly like the pictures. Super cute, clean and cozy. It is about 10 minutes from all the shops and restaurants on South Congress, so if you want to walk this is not your place. We would stay at Christina's place again.

"
392345,18492618,2014-08-27,19079735,Lindsay,We had a really great time and enjoyed your loft! Everything looked just like the pictures - so beautiful!! We were very glad to be able to spend our time in Austin in your beautiful loft!

392345,18830037,2014-09-01,19874841,Nicole,"Christina's loft was so beautiful - as a photographer, this space is a dream & that light is something else! The bed is super comfy and it's a very close drive up to all of the great restaurants and shops that SoCo has to offer. Christina responded so quickly to all of our questions and was a fabulous host! Thanks again!!"
392345,19217488,2014-09-08,12756378,Katie,The listing description was very accurate. Christina has a beautiful loft! It was very well stocked with all amenities that we needed and very clean. The check-in was very easy since we were just given an access code and didn't have to arrange a meeting time to pick-up the keys. Christina was very helpful and answered any messages I sent right away...it was an overall great experience! I would definitely recommend staying here when in Austin :)
392345,21075214,2014-10-11,3861791,Isabel,Christina's place was perfect. A true representation of her add. I didn't meet Christina but was in regular contact via email. Beautiful apartment and so close to Downtown. Would stay again 100%. Awesome place!
392345,22696372,2014-11-12,11422724,Agnes,"Even before we booked the place Christina answered all my questions promptly and was super helpful.  Everything was accurate and as described in the listing.  It was cozy and had everything we needed.  There were even a few extra's such as the basics for cooking, coffee, and such.  The neighborhood was nice and very dog friendly.  It was exactly what we needed for an extended stay in Austin!"
392345,28460670,2015-03-24,23170261,Asha,"Christina was so lovely and welcoming. She responded right away and was super cool about our check in and check  out time. Her place was absolutely beautiful and although it was further from downtown than we expected it actually worked out nicely as we could escape the madness of SXSW! I would 100% recommend her place for airbnb, it was exactly as described and looks just like the pictures. Thank you so much  for allowing us to stay in your amazing home Christina, we had a great time! :-) "
392345,49808959,2015-10-06,42400686,Evin,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for one of the ACL weekends and we had a blast. The location of the place was so convenient to get to and from zilker park.
The place itself is so adorable and cozy, looks just like the pictures.
The app was giving us some problems but contacting Christina was extremely easy and she was very nice and welcoming. 
We plan on staying there again on our next trip to Austin. You won't go wrong with staying here on your trip to ATX. "
392345,50491649,2015-10-12,43861445,Tara,"The loft on South Congress is even more beautiful than it is in the pictures. Equipped with all amenities from cooking, cleaning to washer and dryer, the space is perfect to kick back and relax. Location was a little bit away from downtown and shopping area of SoCo, so renting a car came in handy- but Uber was also inexpensive. Christina was helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and places to visit and made sure that checking in/ leaving the space went seamlessly. Definitely recommend this space! "
709709,3642814,2013-02-26,4076092,Jennifer,"Had a great time. Susan and her family were very welcoming. The Airstream was extremely cute and very clean, with sweet touches like throw pillows and ultra fluffy towels. 
This was our first time staying in an Airstream. If that's the case for you, please know that,  though it's a very well-equipped, new camper with all the bells and whistles, it's still close quarters. You'll be living in one another's pockets while there. 
We had a wonderful experience, though. The yard was gorgeous with hammock, grill, and fire bowl, as well as stringed lights. My son played on the children's structure and in the little club house. It was an enchanting urban-rustic adventure. 
"
709709,3784123,2013-03-14,5230800,Tom,"What a hoot--the whole Airstream experience without having to buy one! Susan was very helpful, squeezing me in for 2 nights of SXSW at the last minute. The place was impeccable, the yard a critical add given limited space inside. Helpful printed guide to Airstream operation provided, but best to try out all systems on arrival to make sure you understand them. But owners are right next in a pinch."
709709,3955236,2013-03-30,5389237,Geri,Cute trailer!  Nice people & very accommodating!  Highly recommended! 
709709,4738818,2013-05-22,6420350,Melissa,"I didn't want to leave my airstream home! It's perfect if you will be traveling alone but if your significant other will be bunking w you that works as well. Susan is super sweet and the house/yard is really cute! I used the hammock for an afternoon nap but would've liked more time for the fire pit & BBQ. The interior of the airstream is brand new- nice wood, stainless steel appliances & a good size shower! They supply towels, shampoo/conditioner, soap, coffee, tea. The location is perfect! Near downtown, SoCo and S 1st St. I 100% recommend this and will be staying here for future visits. "
709709,8780203,2013-11-18,8511855,Matt,"Fantastic, could not have asked for better. Lola (the Airstream) was perfect, very well equipped and more than we needed for our weekend stay in Austin, but what kinda really made it special was Susan and the family, such great people and very helpful. Full of local knowledge and guidance. Thank you so much. Lola comes highly recommended from me."
709709,9694776,2014-01-05,8709729,Logan,"Talk about Hotel Hospitality! The greeting immediately made my girlfriend and me feel perfectly at home in this SUPER COZY Airstream! The yard was perfect! The supplied firewood and starter was supremely thoughtful and enhanced the experience immensely. 

It was an amazing Airstream first experience and any maintenance questions (water tank filling up on us) were promptly addressed, if not covered already in the initial introduction. 

I will note that if you are two 6' 5"" people planning on sleeping in the bed, you may find it a tad on the cramped side of things, but otherwise the bed nook feels like a cozy secure cave.

I want an Airstream now for sure, though in the meantime, I would happily get my fix staying at Susan's! "
709709,10899072,2014-03-12,8011966,Meredith,"This is the sweetest little Airstream in Austin! It was super clean, adorable, and Susan was a very thoughtful and responsive host. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet spot with a hammock. "
709709,16061925,2014-07-21,4213867,Amy,"My host was amazing. They were both very accommodating and helpful. We had texted to let them know we were running behind schedule and they were cool about it. We ended up needing some help with our bikes and out host worked on it for us in the garage. Turns out he's a bike mechanic. They gave us a personal tour through the trailer and showed us how it all worked.  They house overview was clear and concise, the neighborhood was close to everything and super quiet. They had great suggestions for food and coffee joints. We could not have asked for better hosts. I suggest you book a trip to Austin and stay with them. The neighborhood is right around the corner from South Congress, a popular tourist area, and a few blocks from Downtown. "
709709,17891411,2014-08-18,14013063,Rodrigo,"Perfect getaway weekend in Austin!! We visited the beautiful Hamilton Springs and the Barton Springs to cool off from the Austin heat.  The Airstream is a very cool adventure for the weekend! Highly recommend!! 

The host Susan and her husband Rick are very welcoming! The airstream itself is very clean and  brand new.  We had a great time! Thanks Susand and Rick!"
709709,18364626,2014-08-25,20030564,Paula,"Lola is awesome! we finally had our Airstream fix (:
Susan and family are very accommodating and are always there you come to your rescue, specially in really hot summer days. 

Thank you SO much for letting us stay at Lola! "
709709,20820272,2014-10-06,7637079,Hank,"We had an amazing time! Susan and Rick were very welcoming, and the trailer was well equipped with coffee and fruit. They had great suggestions for restaurants and activities as well. It was perfect for what we needed for a good weekend in Austin."
709709,22360472,2014-11-04,5775657,Melissa,"Susan and Rick were excellent hosts! They made us feel welcome, and we had a great time chatting with them. Any time we had a question, we just sent them a text and they immediately responded. The backyard is lovely, I wish we would have had more time to enjoy it. It was our first time in an Airstream, so we had to get a little used to the tight quarters, but Lola is adorable and great Instagram fodder. :) And the location was awesome for us. We had a fantastic stay!"
709709,29718378,2015-04-12,3969476,Candace,"Lola was absolutely perfect! We used her as our bride and groom suite at our summer camp wedding. Great service, clean airstream, lovely commodities. Thanks, y'all!"
709709,49609214,2015-10-05,11758117,Samantha,Susan was a perfect host! Super easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a unique place to stay in south Austin. I had a blast. 
709709,50441825,2015-10-12,12532401,Claire,Staying in Susan's airstream was such a fun experience! It was clean and fully stocked with everything you would need to stay there. They were so accommodating and helpful with things like recommending restaurants in the area. Even though we were staying in separate buildings technically they were always easily accessible by phone making it feel more homey. Would definitely stay with them again!
709709,51348510,2015-10-19,7683190,Stefanie,"I would not recommend this space to anyone I know in the current condition. We noticed during check-in, while Susan showed us around, that the refrigerator and freezer were broken. She said she would have her husband look at it when he returned home. We went about our vacation but held off buying food because we were unsure if/when the fridge/freezer would work. They were not sure why it wasn't working and offered a cooler with ice and set it out on the patio table outside the trailer. They didn't want to put it in the trailer because they didn't want to ""invade our space."" But honestly there's no room for a cooler in that trailer. You wouldn't have anywhere to sit. We noticed later when it got dark that evening that the light that illuminates the toilet and shower area was not working. The pillows provided were pancake flat, we rolled them up and stuffed clothes in the middle and made due. There was just a quilt over a fitted sheet on the bed. We found the top sheet in the closet, it was folded so we assumed it was clean and added it to the bed. A layer of dust covered the fan and air conditioner vents. Besides the dust on the vents, the trailer was tidy. The Air conditioner was ice cold but sounded like a rocket ready for take-off - it did muffle the sound of passing vehicles and barking dogs though during the night. The stay just became frustrating and we became very uncomfortable with the situation. I hope my feedback will improve future guests experiences. I think Susan is a good person but must have been overwhelmed with bookings or busy with life and was unable to maintain the space as a host since some of the amenities were lacking. We ended up relocating after the first night (we were booked for three). We asked for a partial refund but she declined. We would not stay here again. 
"
709709,51919399,2015-10-25,2184050,Sophie,"Wonderful place for one or two people! I rented Susan's Airstream for my Dad who was visiting Austin from the UK for the F1 race, and he had a great time despite some very British weather! Susan was great at communicating from the outset, and was extremely flexible when my Dad's arrival plans changed multiple times. The airstream was clean, cute and cosy, and I enjoyed hanging out both inside and outside while my Dad was staying there. Would definitely rent Lola again for friends visiting in the future, a great way to give out of towners a glimpse into the Austin experience. "
202187,572256,2011-09-26,1181868,Clay & Deanna,"Great place and great location within walking distance of South Congress. After driving all over Austin, it was nice to park the car and walk to dinner and breakfast the next morning. John and his wife were perfect hosts. I'd recommend  highly. "
202187,611759,2011-10-09,1155661,Kristin,"We had such a great stay here!  It was clean, cool and the perfect walking distance from all of the cute shops and restaurants of SoCo.  This place is a real gem.  Thanks John for being such a great host...we hope to stay here again if we come back to Austin!!"
202187,705634,2011-11-09,1262536,Rachel,"This little cottage is amazing!  We pulled up and were greeted by smiling kids swinging from the trees with bunny rabbits hopping around their feet!  The place was perfect, homy, and in a great location! I caught myself telling people it was where we were ""living"" that weekend.  I will be back soon for sure!!"
202187,735690,2011-11-21,1378689,Jack,"My wife and I had a great stay here.  The place is incredibly charming and in a great location within walking distance of all the shops/restaurants in SoCo.  We loved the entire SoCo area, and it was great to be right in the middle of it.  This was our first Airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been better."
202187,767922,2011-12-06,1400416,Susanne,"Really a great place to stay.  Perfect location - within 3 blocks of SoCo.  Didn't see John but we didn't have the need to seek him out.  We were given our privacy but felt we could knock and chat if we needed to.  Would absolutely, without a doubt, stay here again and highly recommend it to others.  "
202187,859132,2012-01-12,906007,Andrew,"Location very convenient to South Congress, downtown, and UT.  Very down to earth family was very welcoming and accommodating, but not intrusive.  Apartment was very clean and cozy.  Can't complain about a single thing.  A+."
202187,870806,2012-01-18,450004,Alexander,"The place was great! Perfect location, quiet, reasonably priced. Loved talking with John, Molly, and their kids too."
202187,895114,2012-01-31,1566658,Moz,"The apartment is cosy, welcoming and in a great location. We were in Austin to sample the sights, food and the nightlife - for this, the location was ideal. It's five minutes walk off South Congress, so you've got a lot of the more well known restaurants and bars on your doorstep.
The bed was really comfortable, there was some water & coffee in the fridge and WiFi could be picked up in the bedroom and lounge.
Would we stay here again? Absolutely."
202187,983911,2012-03-09,517815,Tash,"The studio is fantastic. Its a very comfortable size with very private, homey feel. Only a quick walk to S Congress. The roosters will get you up in the morning though :)."
202187,990613,2012-03-12,1482941,Kathy,Very smooth key pickup and everything was as said in the profile.  Plus there are chickens - a great stay!
202187,1029176,2012-03-21,1886291,Elizabeth,"Although we only stayed for the one night, John and his family were great hosts. We had everything we needed without having to ask and the place was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect too. "
202187,1039712,2012-03-25,1694971,Beth,Clean and charming!  Loved having the chickens about!  Great music selection.  Super convenient to South Congress...short walk to all the shops and restaurants and music.  
202187,1185157,2012-04-26,2061238,Jane,"We had a wonderful stay in this little cottage. Great location just a couple of blocks from Soulth Congress however you would never know it.. very quite, safe neighborhood. We walked to great restaurants, biked downtown and spent hours watching the chickens! John and Molly were so sweet and made us feel at home. We will be back, I already miss it! Jane"
202187,1207030,2012-05-01,1446976,Maggie,"Lovely stay!  The cottage is quiet and private, but so close to all the attractions of South Congress.  I had everything I needed - and the chickens add a rustic touch!"

202187,1252957,2012-05-09,1996760,Jessica,"My husband and I spent our 1 Year Anniversary at the Cain's SoCo Studio Apartment. This was our first airbnb experience and we loved it! The location can't be beat - it's a nice quiet neighborhood only a very short walk away from the iconic restaurants and shops of South Congress. 
The house had everything we needed, and we were able to enjoy a nice quiet anniversary trip to ourselves. The Cain's gave us the privacy we were looking for, but we felt comfortable enough to know if we stopped by the main house they would have welcomed our visit and answered any questions we had. 
We also want to highly recommend Torchy's Taco stand on 1st street for anyone looking for a delicious food truck experience. It's about a 10 minute walk from the apartment!
Again: location, comfort, privacy - can't be beat!"
202187,1277287,2012-05-14,2099339,Gretchen,"We were quite hesitant about how our stay would go,but when we arrived we could not have been more happy about our accommodations. This place was quaint and had that austin-ite feel to it. We felt very at home. Much more than any hotel could have done for us. The location is amazing and for the price we paid, it was a gem! We were so pleased with whole situation and would go back again! Thank you so much Molly and John for creating such a wonderful place that we could call home for the weekend!"
202187,1316119,2012-05-21,818988,Alana,"What a welcoming place! I already love Austin and after staying here I love it even more. 

The bed was comfortable and there were fresh towels both on the rack and extras folded under the sink, which was awesome. The bedding was soft and quality, like the kind you would buy for your home. The unit is small but there are two AC's so it was nice and cool the whole time.

We were a group of 3 and it accommodated us just fine. The house is perfect for a couple or a group of girlfriends (like us :).

They were sweet enough to have cold waters for us in the fridge. 

Chickens and rabbits and adorable children playing in the yard, picture perfect right?


Also SO CLOSE to everything you want on South Congress. Joe's coffee is literally only 4 beautiful oak lined blocks away.

If you get the chance to, you should definitely stay here.

202187,1463095,2012-06-11,271196,Meridith,"I went to Austin for a Friday & Saturday meeting at the Radisson Hotel but wanted a different experience in SoCo. The apartment was just perfect with its beautiful antique furniture, insanely comfortable bed and perfect location. Despite the insane heat, I enjoyed walking from the Radisson back to the apartment and stopping in the various shops along the way. I couldn't have asked for a better place to rest my head after two busy and hot days. Thanks, John!"
202187,1512782,2012-06-18,2639500,Cynthia,"This apartment is super cute and is in a great location right next to south congress.  walking distance to shopping and food trucks!  The reason i give it 4 stars is that the bed was quite uncomfortable.  My boyfriend and i both tossed and turned and woke up sore.  Other than that the amenities are nice, small fridge, and microwave and basic dishes if you just want to stay in for the night and hang out.  Neighborhood is also really quiet!  that was great!"
202187,1596738,2012-06-30,2091331,Tonino,"this place is fantastic,great location,very clean and john,molly and co were lovely people.there are chickens roaming around the yard,and the bed was amazing,so comfy!

The bed was comfortable, everything was clean and full of books and music. The chickens, rabbits and cats wandering around outside added to the cozy feeling. I can't wait to go back and stay with John and Molly!"
202187,1743784,2012-07-18,1155661,Kristin,"This was my second time staying here and it was just as great as I remembered.  The place was cool and ready for us when we arrived (loved the classical music playing!).  We only stayed for one night and wish it could have been longer.  It is in the perfect location, walking distance to all of the cute shops and delicious restaurants on South Congress and in a quaint and safe neighborhood.  Thanks again!"
202187,1846315,2012-07-30,304514,Fayza,"We couldn't have had a better stay at a better location in the heart of Austin. You're just an easy walk away from the craziness of S. Congress, but you feel worlds away — and that's a good thing. With off-street parking and a cozy, homey space, I couldn't have asked for better. I loved, loved, loved everything about our stay at this adorable studio, down to every last little detail. Pictures don't do justice to how great this place is and how much these hosts care for their property and patrons. I highly recommend it."
202187,1870938,2012-08-02,1891696,Anna,"This apartment is a great place to stay in Austin. Walking distance from lots of shops and restaurants on SoCo, very easily accessible from the airport, with parking to boot. We really enjoyed our stay here, and would absolutely stay here again. Hi Thanks!"
202187,1987548,2012-08-14,1186737,Gregory,"My wife and I stayed at John's place for our 5th wedding anniversary, and we couldn't have been any happier. John made our stay very comfortable and worry-free. Checking in and out was a simple matter, and the place was very tidy and well kept. When we arrived, the AC was running, keeping the place nice and cool. We were greeted the next morning by a beautiful black hen just outside our door. Awesome! I thoroughly recommend staying here if you want to be in the South Austin area. Thanks, John!"
202187,2119169,2012-08-27,3320101,Justin,"We had a terrific time here. John was a communicative and attentive host, and the apartment was cute and clean. It's in a perfect location, a short walk from the fun part of South Congress in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood. It was a short walk to all the fun stuff on SoCo, and a long but easy walk to the river and 6th Street. We'd look forward to staying here again on our next Austin trip. Thanks again John!"
202187,2180721,2012-09-03,3168640,Elliott,"My partner and I stayed at the wonderful SOCO Studio over Labor Day weekend.   It was scorching in Texas, but the apartment had a quiet but very effective air conditioner that was on when we arrived!  The floors and utilities in the space were spotless, and all the amenities inviting.  After a busy day retiring to a private quiet apartment in a beautiful neighborhood was very romantic. The neighborhood reminded me of  Berkeley California, if it wasn't for the cute chickens we saw out of the bathroom window, lingering in the bamboo forest.

The locations proximity to everything in downtown and in South Congress made this trip to Austin absolutely awesome. If only they had locations in other cities... :) "
202187,2258937,2012-09-10,3502785,Ryan,"Great place!
Walk to South Congress.
THanks!"
202187,2353220,2012-09-20,3283243,Isabel,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week, and we couldn't have picked a better place. I second all the positive reviews regarding the apartment's condition and location. And I also found John and Molly to be welcoming, easy-going and helpful hosts. I recommend this place wholeheartedly and would stay here again anytime."
202187,2527954,2012-10-07,2882304,Mark,"Accommodation is of an excellent standard; impeccably clean and provides everything you could need for your stay.  The restaurant guide in the apartment was especially helpful!!

Superb location for the SoCo area which provides an extensive range of restaurants and shopping opportunities.  All of this is just a few minutes walk from your front door.

The hosts were very friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive.

Remarkable value for money; we would recommend this accommodation without any hesitation."
202187,2678689,2012-10-22,3082433,Jose,"It was a pleasure to stay here. It was very clean, quiet, and private. The rooms were charming. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and cream, and the bathroom was immaculate. There are books and videos for browsing, including some guides to Austin. Best of all, the air-conditioners were fully functional!  We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin. "
202187,2801658,2012-11-04,3855843,Anthony,"the SoCo studio apartment is very convenient to south congress avenue.  The apartment is cozy and there is plenty of space for two or maybe even four people for a few days. the apartment was clean and everything was in order for our stay including fresh linens and towels, guide books to make our stay easier as well. we were really happy molly (johns wife) gave us a tip for running the lady bird lake trail, which we used everyday for running.

we bough a bus pass for $2 and took the bus into the city to visit other neighborhoods daily. johns place is walking distance to good food, good music and the BATS of congress avenue bridge.

the SoCo location is a smart choice for people looking for a neighborhood with character. in addition the few blocks off congress avenue adds a tranquility to city living."
202187,2882261,2012-11-13,4087604,Joanne,"What a great weekend! This was my first time using (website hidden), and I was a little nervous. My concerns were groundless. We opened the door to an adorable little ""Mother-in-Law"" apartment that had a small kitchenette (sink, fridge, microwave), comfy chairs, a couch and a separate bedroom, complete with sleigh bed. There was a small bathroom, a TV in the bedroom, a choice of movies and the fridge had organic coffee, a fresh pint of Organic half and half and some bottled water. The only thing that could have been better were the pillows. They were kind of flat and lumpy.

John was a great host; I talked to him once or twice and that was fun. We were free to come and go as we pleased and the place was a short walk to the coolest part of South Congress. I will be back; this is going to be my go-to place when I travel to Austin!"
202187,2970505,2012-11-26,585899,Maggie,"We really enjoyed staying in this great little SoCo Bungalow. It was a perfect short walk to the best stuff on S. Congress and beyond. It had everything we needed and was very confortable and quiet. We definitely felt like we had our privacy, and loved coming out of the apartment in the morning so bunnies and chicken bopping around. It was a very pleasant experience and we would definitely stay here again! "
202187,3075572,2012-12-11,3686585,Renee,"Okay, FIRST let me say the pictures dont do this sweet little place justice!  Waiting for you is the perfect location to explore Austin!  SOCO is just a QUICK 5 minute walk (and thats walking slowly!)...food trucks galore and shops and restaraunts and a great little music venue and ... I could go on and on!

The little bungalow is well appointed and suitable for 1 or 2 people...I guess you could do a third although I wouldnt suggest it for more than a night.  It is very clean and the two little airconditioners kept it more than cool enough for us (yes, even in Dec we needed A.C.)  

The chickens and bunnies were too cute! The only dispointment was my daughters - though patient she never got to pet the bunnies.  

My first expirence with airbnb was great!  Thanks John!"
202187,3369413,2013-01-18,3904187,Bill And Kim,"Staying at John's studio apt. was great. The location to South Congress is just 10 min. walking through a cool neighborhood. Walk, ride your bike, or take the bus downtown. It's all so close and accessible. The studio is very accommodating and the bed is really comfortable. It's fun to have the chickens running around the property. All-in-all, one of the best AirBnB experiences we've had. Thanks John and Molly for hosting us."
202187,3393983,2013-01-22,4521023,Christine,We had a wonderful stay at the SoCo studio. The location is perfect and the studio is cozy and quaint. 
202187,3476411,2013-02-04,4857466,Cathy,"What a wonderful home away from home.  As cute as it looks online, the pictures do not do this studio apartment justice.  John provides all you need with thoughtfulness and attention to every detail.  And you could not ask for a better location for the ultimate Austin experience. This South Congress studio apartment will be our first choice whenever we come to Austin.  "
202187,3518579,2013-02-11,4855938,Kelley,Had a great stay here. The apartment was clean and comfortable. John and his family were very sweet. Great location for exploring the city!
202187,3637002,2013-02-26,1570942,Tig,"A great spot! Ideal for a couple. Really comfortable and quiet, in a great neighborhood, with chickens and a friendly puppy in the yard, but only a couple of blocks from the best of South Congress. Well worth the price. Highly recommended. "
202187,3652981,2013-02-28,4803862,Dawn,"What a great find!! This cute cottage-esque place with chickens running around in the backyard, made for such a down-home Texas visit for two northerners. And it's located only a couple blocks from South Congress where all the cool stuff is happening in Austin. The apartment is also located in a quiet street, which was perfect for relaxing and sleeping. What a steal!!"
202187,3679136,2013-03-03,2822729,Chell,Absolutely loved the stay. Was so accommodating. We had to bring our children last minute and they had a blast in the quiet little house. The chickens outside were so fun to watch. Couldn't have asked for more. The price was right on for the amenities and we can't wait to go back. 
202187,3726062,2013-03-08,4986682,Janna,"What a fabulous little place!  We were expecting a room, but were greeted with a very good-sized house on its own, with a large bedroom and a lovely seating area and mini kitchen.  Everything was clean and laid out for us, and was a perfect place for our first night in Austin.

Thanks for the quick response and friendly help, John!  We'll stay again if we get the chance."
202187,3770530,2013-03-13,2582141,Juliette,"We really loved staying in this little cottage, which very comfy and in a great location. The owners are lovely, and very helpful. The cottage was very clean and we enjoyed the chickens and will miss the cat."
202187,3780620,2013-03-14,1154431,Paul,Lovely place!  Worked perfectly for our needs and no problems at all.  Definitely would stay here again.
202187,3906666,2013-03-26,5066938,Neeley,"Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was clean and comfortable, John was nothing but helpful and friendly, the location was just a couple walkable blocks to South Congress, and we loved the chickens and the puppy. Would certainly come back and stay again."
202187,3918012,2013-03-27,3575907,Robert,"We had an enjoyable stay, a quiet, peaceful place to relax and only about a couple blocks of easy walking to the night life on South Congess! We hope we get to come again."
202187,4051500,2013-04-06,3938946,Anna,"I stayed in the S. Congress studio for a week and a half and it was really great!  I loved the chickens and cat wandering around in the yard and greeting me each morning as I walked to Jo's coffee shop for breakfast.  It is so convenient to everything on S. Congress and yet in such a quiet residential neighborhood.  The only thing I would say is that it was bigger than I thought!  I think of a studio as all one room but, in fact, the bedroom is separate.  My daughter and I had a terrific time and really enjoyed meeting John, his wife and all the great animals that are part of their family."
202187,4092487,2013-04-09,4693216,Teresa,"Great experience. Super cute, clean accomodations. Big bedroom with comfy bed. Friendly hosts. Loved the neighborhood and location can't be beat."
202187,4136003,2013-04-13,2484130,Margaret,The studio was in a great location for doing everything fun in Austin. John always responded quickly to any questions I had prior to or leaving the apt. Thanks John!
202187,4246352,2013-04-22,2893447,Chris,"Great hosts, awesome location, comfortable accommodations, friendly chickens - What more could you ask for?!? 

I would definitely book again."
202187,4499235,2013-05-08,3444049,Susan,"Wonderful little Austin retreat. Friendly host, rooms are clean and have a fun, playful vibe.  Loved hanging out with the chickens. Wish we could have stayed longer.   Perfect soco location.  "
202187,4564227,2013-05-13,5242784,Matt,"This place is great, 5 minute walk to South Congress which is where most people want to be.  It is just enough removed from South Congress that you don't have to worry about any noise, but still close enough that you could make it home with no issues after a few drinks. 

The place is clean, comfortable, and plenty of space for two.  There is plenty of A/C available when needed so you will never be hot while sleeping.  I would definitely recommend this place to others who are looking for something other than an expensive hotel.  Check it out!"
202187,4888440,2013-05-31,3066983,Sean,John's place was great. Super quiet and comfortable. When you're at the house it feels like miles from anywhere (in a good way) but it's less than a 5 minute walk before you're on the main strip in south congress. Would definitely stay here again. 
202187,4978527,2013-06-05,4521023,Christine,"My husband and I stayed at the SoCo studio this weekend and had another great experience. This was our second time renting the studio. We will continue to come back each time that we are in Austin. The location is perfect for visitng South Congress on foot or a quick car ride to Downtown or UT. The studio is a perfect size for two guests and gives you the chance to experience what it would be like to live in Austin. John and his wife are very thoughtful and stock the studio with coffee, books, travel guides and mini toiletries. This is a great value and I highly recommend the studio for anyone visiting Austin. "
202187,5055326,2013-06-10,5998952,Sarah,Great Location in a beautiful neighborhood. The South Congress Studio Apartment is a 5 minute walk to the happening SoCo area and a 15 minute walk to downtown. The apartment was perfect for my first visit to Austin. It was just a short walk to Jo's Coffee every morning and we were able to bike to the ladybird lake trail that took us straight to Barton Springs and Zilker Park. Highly recommended accommodations. 
202187,5094487,2013-06-11,6762714,Thomas,Perfect location for my wife and I for a quick night away on South Congress at the Continental Club.  Just up the street from our destination which brought about a nice walk after imbibing all that is good in Austin.  Will use them again if are kids let us sneak away in the future.
202187,5373361,2013-06-26,3509545,Charly,Great location. Friendly and responsive host
202187,5423433,2013-06-29,365516,Carolina,"Very nice little place, clean, very well located!!! Would definitely come back!"
202187,5479645,2013-07-01,7113843,Lindsay,"We had a very comfortable stay, and the location is awesome. Would definitely stay here again."
202187,5565415,2013-07-06,6273740,Mitch,"We had a great stay here!  John was very accommodating when we got into town a little early.  The space is comfortable, and it is a short walk through a great neighborhood to shops and restaurants.  I would be happy to stay here again."
202187,5690738,2013-07-12,5804824,Patty,"What a great place to stay near the SoCo area, within walking distance of so much! Even in 102 degree weather, we enjoyed our stay at this lovely place. John and Molly were absolute perfect hosts, friendly and laid back....a lot like most of the people we met in Austin. 
If you're looking for a comfortable space, quiet residential vibe, and beautiful big shade trees, this is for you!"
202187,5898423,2013-07-21,7486776,Katie,"Clean, cozy and as advertised.  A short walk to South Congress and a short drive to 6th St and beyond.  The bed was very comfortable and my son said the sofa bed was comfy as well.  Can't wait to stay again. "
202187,5955802,2013-07-23,7488429,Michael,"My parents came to visit from Oregon and wanted a more private quiet place to stay - they loved it!

Everything was clean, the AC did it's job in the July heat, and the chickens roaming about was a nice extra :)

John and his wife were very friendly and easy going, my parents had nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. "
202187,6000427,2013-07-26,4049559,John,This was the perfect rental for us. It's a great location and they keep it nice and clean. Being able to walk to so many great locations is a huge plus! I miss the friendly chickens already! 
202187,6213091,2013-08-04,5855132,Katie,"We loved our stay in Austin and John's little cottage was perfect - great location and really big and comfortable.  It was really hot when we were in Austin but the air conditioning was a lot better than we had in some of the hotels we stayed in during our US trip. The bed was really comfy and John had thought of everything  - hairdryer, fridge, tv, toiletries, books, local guides etc.  We would definitely recommend this property and would come back again.  The food and entertainment in So Co was amazing!"
202187,6315893,2013-08-07,6937948,Anton,"Had an awesome stay at Johns! The place was really great and we got all the privacy we needed. The kingsize bed was awesome and we could play some of Johns CDs which were some great ones i must say. Good taste in music!

The only thing i could think about is that the kitchen didn't had an oven or a place to cook food. It has a microwave and a fridge so there you're fine. But since we like to cook our own food we couldn't. But then, youre in Austin and there you want to eat out. 
And if there was anything we were missing, John had it and were more than helpful. 

He was an awesome host and a great person! 

If you want to live close to the best street in Austin and everything you need, this is the place!! Dont look for anything else cause you can't find anything better.

I look forward to go back here!"
202187,6410662,2013-08-11,7951672,James,"Unfortunately I had to cancel my trip but John was very understanding and offered to help with another trip. I've stayed with John several times,always a pleasure."
202187,6446372,2013-08-12,7965593,Anne,"This little cottage is in a quiet lovely neighborhood, just a couple of short blocks away from South Congress. The cottage was spotless and super comfortable! It was a great little refuge at the end of the day."
202187,6578396,2013-08-17,5777181,Chris,"John replied to us with incredible speed for a same-day stay, and when we got there it was clean and ready for us. He lives in a great neighborhood that has a residential feel but is literally walking distance to tons of great stuff on S. Congress. Definitely recommend."
202187,6626067,2013-08-19,5730877,Joanna,"The appartment is a private granny flat, or mini house behind John's house, which is a great set-up.  The location is excellent, quiet neighbourhood, but only one street from the main South Congress strip.  We had a fantastic stay."
202187,6855730,2013-08-27,7859472,Lindsay,"this was our first airbnb experience and it was really nice! we loved the location (it was perfect for all of the restaurants & sights we were planning on, but also tucked away from the noise of congress), and the hosts were really friendly. the AC did its job in the sweltering august heat, although the bedroom unit was a little loud for sleeping (so i bought earplugs, which helped!). it was great to have a mini-fridge for leftovers, and my husband loved being able to go for a run each day in the neighborhood and on the trail. all in all, it was great staying in a little house rather than a hotel!"
202187,6948340,2013-08-31,5868807,Sadie,"I have to say, John's place is one of my favorite Air B&B experiences, and I've had a lot of great ones.  Yes, there are chickens outside. No, you can't hear or smell them. Yes, it's amazing. No, I didn't take one home, although I wanted to. 

The bungalow is exactly as described: clean, cozy, with everything you need. My partner, who lives in Austin, came over on the first night and ended up staying with me the whole time. From the private driveway to the handwritten note with the fresh towels waiting outside, the peaceful sleep and yes--those gorgeous chickens (maybe a rooster too?).

I hate to say this because now there will be less availability for us....but it's truly the perfect getaway right next to all the action in one of the best areas of Austin. Thanks, John! Save us a spot;) "
202187,6983016,2013-09-02,6936549,Kevin,"Great hosts, great location, & cute apartment with everything we needed. It was a great experience"
202187,7733327,2013-10-01,2091331,Tonino,"This is the second time I have stayed here, the place is fantastic, couldn't ask for a better location, walking distance to downtown, and S1St . 
Very clean, great communication and chickens roaming round the back yard.
Highly recommend. staying, and will stay here again when in Austin next."
202187,7804976,2013-10-03,9150629,Mike,"Loved everything about this place.  Great neighborhood.  Homey room complete with great music, books, and video. Friendly hosts.  I'll be going back."
202187,7868524,2013-10-07,6575261,Rosa,"We just stayed for a weekend at this place, the owners are charming, they keep the cottage clean, it is comfortable, the location is very convenient and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We would definitely  come back, highly recommended."
202187,8117339,2013-10-16,8852076,Michael,This was my first airbnb experience so I didn't really know what to expect going into it. My wife & I arrived in Austin last week to discover our expectations were blown away. What a perfect apartment & a super ideal location in a cute neighborhood steps away from the key blocks of the South Congress shopping & hospitality district. Being from Canada the heat and humidity was more than expected but the apartments air conditioning kept us more than comfortable throughout our stay. Nothing at all negative to say about our stay in John's amazing South Congress Apartment except that we eventually had to leave! It truly felt like home and we can't wait to return to Austin soon. Here's to hoping this apartment will be available again for our next visit!       
202187,8211304,2013-10-21,511081,Robin,"PERFectly situated, 5 minute walk from South Congress STreet, charming little cottage. Billed as a studio, but it does in fact have separate lovely bedroom, comfy bed.  The chickens are great entertainment and the hosts friendly, helpful. You are completely private behind the main house, with parking.  Not really set up for cooking, but does have microwave and little fridge and coffee maker.  Meticulously clean, very comfy living room area with couch and two upholstered chairs and good lighting.  Great place to stay."
202187,8304158,2013-10-24,8236092,Ellie,SUPER CUTE! Entirely functional and quite comfortable! Very cute residential neighborhood in an even cooler section of town! Easy access to all the sights of Austin with a short bus/cab ride or long walk. Loved it here!
202187,8325246,2013-10-26,1268521,Craig,"The guest house was really lovely! It was a little on the older side but heavy on the charm, and more importantly, as a New Yorker who prefers to avoid having a car when possible, the location was great to make it around to lots of great places by walking without a car. It was about 5-10 minutes to plenty of great places on South Congress, and another 20-30 to get to 4th St and 6th St for a second round. I plan to stay again the next time I'm back in Austin."
202187,8440425,2013-10-30,2670932,Trevor,"I had an excellent experience staying in John's studio. It's removed from the main house, so we had plenty of privacy. It's also in a great location, right off of South Congress. Can't rate this highly enough, will definitely try and stay here the next time I'm in Austin."
202187,8479962,2013-11-02,8597299,Iris,Adorable place in neat neighborhood. Easy bus ride down town and fun spots in walking distance on South Congress. My husband and I loved it.
202187,8534937,2013-11-04,9391186,Bryana,"Such a convenient location, and still so quiet and peaceful! The chickens were a kick! I will definitely consider staying at this location any time I am in the Austin area."
202187,8615956,2013-11-08,4999169,Bernt,"This place is underpriced. Right next to South congress with it's awesome shops and cafes, and walking/biking distance to downtown. Really nice bedroom, comfy couch. Having your own little house for the price John is charging is unique.

Wifi was a bit dodgy, but that didn't really bother us, so we didn't even tell John about it.

John was really nice. We arrived at 2am, and that was no problem. He left the door open and the light on for us. Had plenty of guide books in the apartment, and even gave is tips about renting bikes."
202187,8831012,2013-11-20,2804612,Rodney,Great location in a nice quiet residential neighborhood.  Privacy very good.  It's a small place that is more casual not luxurious if you want something more homey this is adequate. The kitchen is only used for microwave foods not a fully equipped kitchen.  For a short visit to Austin it was fine. Thank you to John and Molly.
202187,8958717,2013-11-28,9773575,Mark,"We stayed the first half of Thanksgiving week at the Cain's accommodations while visiting family in Austin.  The guest house is cute, warm and cozy.  Everything was clean and tidy, and comfort items like linens, comforters, towels, etc. were top-notch plentiful.  We loved the 'chicken' companions - they were friendly and entertaining.  The living space is bright, with plenty of windows to let sunlight in when you want it; with blinds and curtains to draw closed when you want your privacy.  The bathroom and shower is a pretty tight space for anyone that's large or tall, but it's livable.  We had no plans of cooking, so the kitchenette (fridge, microwave, and coffee maker) fit our needs perfectly.  We will definitely look for availability here on future trips.  We were always pleased with the responsiveness and communication of the hosts.  M & P"
202187,9051603,2013-12-03,8852424,Ben,"We really enjoyed our stay here.  The apartment was perfect for our needs.  It is located in a prime spot for quick and easy access to Austin's food, parks, nightlife, and music.  The apartment was comfortable, quiet, private - way better than a hotel.  We'll definitely keep it at the top of our list for the next time we come back to Austin!"
202187,9092721,2013-12-06,10074679,Mary,"I found this casita to be absolutely charming and very well located. Was able to walk to some of my favorite places, Jo's for coffee in the morning and San Jose to meet friends for a drink. Very cosy, comfortable bed and quiet. Would definitely recommend staying there.
"
202187,9163222,2013-12-10,8332402,Rachel,"Location: terrific walking distance to SoCo fun, and the and quiet, green area off the beaten path was relaxing. Size: perfect for two! Ambiance: adorable!  It was a freezing weekend and the heater cozied up the apartment quickly.  Everything was just right for what we needed. John was easy to work with and very accommodating for our needs.  No hesitation to return here next time we're in Austin!  Thanks, John!"
202187,9262921,2013-12-16,10441901,Ian,"Excellent, really cosy place. Awesome bed. So close to south congress and all the great places along that strip. Can't wait to stay here again. "
202187,9546877,2014-01-02,2046542,Melissa,"We really enjoyed our time in John's apartment. It's a great location - an easy walk to the shops and restaurants on South Congress, where there are also buses heading downtown. The apartment was comfortable and although there were no proper cooking facilities (just a sink, bar fridge, coffee maker and microwave), it wasn't a big deal as there were plenty of nice places to eat nearby.
I'd highly recommend staying here when you visit Austin!"
202187,9831483,2014-01-13,10476765,Jayne,"The location was phenomenal!  After a long drive, we were happy to be able to walk to restaurants and bars on South Congress.  The actual space had a great CD collection, space comfortable for two, really soft sheets/bedding and safe/private parking.  Sitting outside in the patio chairs watching the chickens and enjoying the sunshine was very peaceful, too.  The residential feel of the neighborhood and the proximity to the hustle and bustle of South Congress make this a great location!"
202187,9954743,2014-01-21,10642283,Julie,Wonderful experience and a very lovely space. Would highly recommend!
202187,10036713,2014-01-27,2955260,Jody,"We loved this cottage! We were only a couple of blocks from restaurants and shops, but it felt like a quiet family neighborhood. The cottage was charming and simple, the bed comfortable, the whole place very clean. The chickens greeted us when we returned at the end of the day. Idyllic. "
202187,10167272,2014-02-03,11274019,Stephani,What a great little place!! Perfect for 2 people.  Within walking distance to the SoCo nightlife and daytime window shopping.  The apartment was nicely decorated and the bed oh so comfy!  
202187,10240536,2014-02-08,9787163,Ryan,Cozy and well-located.  High marks for cleanliness.  I have no negative to report.  Would certainly reserve this backhouse again- the chickens even grew less wary of this traveler.
202187,10277081,2014-02-10,10182337,Jason,"Great little place in a great neighborhood. It was cold the weekend we stayed but the heater kept the place warm. Comfortable bed, clean, nice host.....for the price you can't beat it. Would definitely stay again! "
202187,10341909,2014-02-14,7725512,Owen,"John's guesthouse is a great value, and was a perfect spot to call a home base while we explored Congress Ave and all of South Austin....  It was spacious and unique.  He 100% respected our privacy, and made it easy to check in, enjoy the place, and then check out with absolutely no hassles."
202187,10469424,2014-02-20,11906671,David,"We really enjoyed staying in John's guest house.  The location was ideal for exploring the city and taking advantage of all that the South Congress neighborhood has to offer.  The house was clean and nicely furnished and John made us feel welcome.  If I ever visit Austin again, I'd try to stay at John's house.  "
202187,10516974,2014-02-23,11710721,Cole,"Great location, great selection of CDs in the room and a comfy bed. The bathroom is a little tight if you are looking for something spacious. Watch out for chickens peeping through the windows. "
202187,10547207,2014-02-24,2830384,Evan,"This was the ideal place for us to stay in Austin. John's place is a very short (and very pleasant) walk from South Congress, where there are countless cool places to check out (the Hotel San Jose bar, Homeslice Pizza, Parts and Labor, so many other). Everything in the apartment was very welcoming and clean, all in all a wonderful place to stay, complemented by an ideal location. "
202187,10679565,2014-03-03,9584535,Fran,"Not much more to add to the glowing reviews that others have left--the experience lived up to and passed those expectations.  Thinking of staying here? Do it!  Location fabulous to South Congress and beyond, private room in the back of the main house (complete with bamboo and fencing to make it even more private), and working with John was so easy and laid-back. Will definitely try to stay here again when in the area next. "
202187,10957682,2014-03-15,11762932,John,I had a great stay at John's guesthouse during SXSW.  Location is fantastic and the fact that I could stay just two nights during a busy time like this in Austin (no 3-4 night minimum) was super convenient.  John and his family even gave me a ride to the airport on their way out of town!  Two thumbs way up!
202187,11038813,2014-03-17,13039498,Orli,"This apartment was perfect for our weekend stay. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. Checking in and put was not an issue. The apartment was clean and very homey. The area is perfect, right near south congress and a 15-20 minute walk to downtown. I would stay here again. "
202187,11214655,2014-03-25,44378,Brandon,"We had a great stay at the apartment. The location is perfect. The street is very quiet, and a 5 minute walk to South Congress. You can also walk to Downtown in about 15 minutes, so we hardly ever moved the car. "
202187,11279740,2014-03-28,6904782,Sarah,"Had a great stay at at the S. Congress Studio Apartment. It was very clean, the bed was comfy, plenty of toiletries were provided, check-in and out was easy, and the wifi worked great. The best part was that it was just a 3 block stroll to the heart of SoCo, yet the neighborhood was really quiet. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin. "
202187,11407766,2014-04-01,7909719,Deborah,The place was perfect for us. We walked down to see the bats come out. Then we walked down Congress St to have a delicous dinner and ice cream. The apartment was clean and a nice size. They had a guide book for Austin which was helpful. It was fun to watch the chickens!
202187,11489486,2014-04-05,2418855,Julie,"This was a great location and easy to walk to south congress where a lot was happening.  Also a short bike ride or drive to downtown.  It was very private and your own little place, they even keep coffee in the fridge for getting your day kicked off right :) I would highly recommend to anyone."
202187,11530342,2014-04-07,8268381,Bryce,"What a wonderful little cottage close to South Congress. John was very communicative and helpful. The whole experience could not have been better, this is definitely a place I would want to stay at again when returning to Austin in the future. "
202187,11661053,2014-04-11,4380678,Charity,"Great apartment and great location - SoCo is such a nice part of Austin.  John was a great host, my friend was flying in early and he was super flexible about check in.  Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again."
202187,11694775,2014-04-12,3081551,Laura,"A funky and adorable little cottage in a cool part of Austin!
Just blocks from south congress, some of the best food and shopping. My sister and I had a perfectly lovely stay."
202187,11789232,2014-04-15,10898085,Katrina,This location just can't be beat. The apartment was in a beautiful and safe neighbourhood and close to everything quintessentially Austin. Inside the apartment was roomy and charming; I felt like I was staying in a much loved family cabin. I will be sure to book with John again the next time I should be in Austin. My only regret is that I didn't book for a longer duration this stay. Communications with John were easy and prompt and it was clear that there is much attention paid to the quality of the space. Thanks John!
202187,11869376,2014-04-17,7531538,Lane,"Great stay, awesome location. Very safe neighborhood and just minutes to SoCo. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted and with our car right out front hop in and drive anywhere we needed to.

Tall people should be aware that the shower is a little it short and tight, but the rest of the apartment is spacious with plenty of room to stretch out. Much better than being cramped in a hotel room.

We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to our friends and stay again on a return trip."
202187,12054645,2014-04-22,1565334,Joseph,Had a great stay.  The place was very nice n clean and well appointed.  John was busy for Easter weekend so we only met him briefly.  Very convenient to all Austin has to offer.
202187,12161044,2014-04-24,8349821,Steve,The cottage was roomy and cozy at the same time. The chickens (no roosters) made me homesick for Grand Cayman. I got to show my wife how an Air BNB and a chicken coup work. The location is perfect for cruising S. Congress area and Lenoir restaurant was an easy trip for dinner. John was a very quick responder to communications and all we had to do was get in and everything else was complete.
202187,12239934,2014-04-27,689783,Kimberley,"The studio--more of a cottage--on John's property was perfect in lots of ways. The location was excellent, just a couple of blocks from Congress St. and popular spots such as Home Slice, HopDaddy and, of course, the Continental. Couldn't have asked for more. I was in for a conference and the convention center was an easy 20 minute walk. I would definitely recommend it and would be happy to stay there again."
202187,12391608,2014-05-01,11007286,Ian,"For us, John's location proved to be ideal. South Congress is just a short stroll through a quiet and picturesque neighbourhood. The iconic Continental Club is pretty well right there. The cottage out the back is a quiet place. It's cozy although it could do with a couple of bowls in the kitchenette area so you could heat something in the microwave. Grits for example. A toaster might come in handy also. John left a bag of fresh ground coffee and we really enjoyed that. We were cozy in this cottage and I'd be happy to stay again. You can sit outside and watch the chooks who are very contented and friendly. We ate our porridge out there in the shade of the big old tree and felt very relaxed. Didn't get to meet John which was unfortunate. We met his wife though and enjoyed having that connection. Simple, quiet, restful and cozy is what you'll get. "
202187,12486453,2014-05-04,6328415,Leslie,The apartment was very clean and cozy! It was bigger than I was expecting - especially the bedroom.  Comfortable bed and soft sheets! We would definitely stay here again.
202187,12710034,2014-05-09,1562210,Jennifer,"This was the perfect home base for a week-long vacation to Austin. It was close to plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops, with super easy access to downtown - yet quiet and neighborly. John and his wife were incredible hosts. The chickens were a riot!"
202187,12763743,2014-05-10,952521,Brianna,"John's charming, well-appointed and utterly welcoming little cottage is just as described-- i might say even better. A welcome change from the Hampton Inn boilerplate lodgings we had at our last stop on this road trip, John's enchanted space won us over as soon as we opened the door: soft music (berlioz) playing on the stereo, good lighting, water bottles in the fridge were most appreciated after a 8 hour drive...cute furniture, lots of thoughtful details...it just felt homey in the best way possible. A wonderful introduction to Austin if you've never been (we hadn't ) and a centrally located, adorable place to hang your hat. Thank you John + family for your gracious magician style hospitality. We will be back if you will have us and recommend you far and wide. Yay!!"
202187,12797247,2014-05-11,2604690,Loree,We had a great stay at John's Studio Apartment.  The place was very clean and the chickens on the property were awesome!  Great stay.
202187,12881354,2014-05-13,12364387,Emi Lee,"Location, location, location.  The studio was clean and comfortable and situated right off S. Congress in a lovely and safe neighborhood.  Parking was off-street which was a bonus.  The Cains were great hosts."
202187,13004096,2014-05-17,13781026,Jessie,"This is a really cute little spot very close to the South Congress restaurants, bars and shopping. The space is very clean, and you have everything you need. It's close to public transportation and only about a $10 cab ride to downtown. It was perfect for our first trip to Austin."
202187,13067553,2014-05-19,9450335,Katharine,"This was a fabulous place to stay in South Austin -- South Congress was very accessible, and it was in a nice neighborhood with many cute houses. The apartment was clean and comfortable, and I enjoyed the local wildlife (chickens, cat, dog...all very relaxed and friendly). "
202187,13141602,2014-05-20,6279655,Juan,"First off, location: we 5 minutes away from many of Austin's most well-known restaurants, stores, and bars. We were 15 minutes away from Downtown and about a 20 minute walk from Rainey. We didn't use bikes, but they would have cut down this time drastically. The apartment was perfect for our stay--comfortable bed, well-stocked bathroom, cozy and quiet. The chickens on the property provided a cool and quirky addition. We met John and his wife quickly who were both extremely nice, accommodating and happy to see us. John was very flexible with our check in time (just left the door open) and check out time (no one checking in the next day). John also provided some great recommendations for where to eat. We are very happy with our stay here and would definitely stay here again."
202187,13784183,2014-06-04,13699810,Amos,"Great little studio, great location. Highly recommended. "
202187,13952116,2014-06-09,13061476,Dana,The listing was just as we expected and the neighborhood was great. Short walk to South Congress - easy access to good food and the bus to downtown. 
202187,14089735,2014-06-11,14615865,Karen,"This was my first time to Austin and stayed 2 nights at John's place on my own. It's a great location, literally 5 minutes safe walk to central of Congress! the studio apt is nestled in a great neighborhood. I never got to meet John but he was quick in response to any inquiries. It's a cozy apt equipped with coffeemaker, umbrella (which totally came in handy for me), tv, internet, Austin guide books, and chickens just hanging outside your door! It reminded me of staying in those mountain cabins where the furniture shows some character in age, old dvds and movies to watch, and enjoying the comfort and coziness of the place. I didn't have a car and got around just fine. There's a bus stop on Congress and a nice leisurely walk to downtown took about 20-25 minutes. Would definitely recommend based on the location and would hope to stay here again for my next visit to Austin! "
202187,14150423,2014-06-13,10113273,Xavier,"I couldn't have asked for a better stay.  I was attending a conference at the Austin convention center and I didn't have to touch my car once the entire trip since it was so easy to cycle into town from this location.  I brought my own bike but if you don't have one there is a bike sharing rack at the corner if Academy and Congress that is a short walk from john's rental.  I will definitely book this location again and highly highly recommended it to others, especially those seeking to not have to use their gas gulping cars while staying there.  "
202187,14289917,2014-06-16,808029,Dan,"Had a great stay at John's studio apartment. The apartment is located in a quaint, residential neighborhood, just a short walk from restaurants, bars and shops on South Congress as described. John was responsive and accessible during check in and throughout the stay. Would definitely stay there again, and I highly recommend!"
202187,14391496,2014-06-18,10241509,John,"We couldn't have asked for more. This place is perfect, so if you are lucky enough to find it available on a weekend, book it immediately. John and Molly, and their lovely children (and chickens) are fantastic hosts, and super laid back. They were extremely accommodating and friendly, and even allowed us to check out a few hours late. We would absolutely stay at this place again. "
202187,14633979,2014-06-23,3139183,Luke,Cool place in great location.  John was very accommodative to our stay.
202187,14775531,2014-06-26,14159609,Tysen,"
Everything was fantastic! John was available as much or as little as needed.  I was basically able to leave my rental sit for two days and walk everywhere. Was able to really experience Austin. The apartment was great too. It was a perfect place to return after exploring the city. Would definitely recommend and I would stay there again if I return to Austin. Awesome!"
202187,15035205,2014-07-01,12931404,Lydia,Fantastic location! We rented a car but barely used it. Comfortable little apartment with everything we needed. Hosts were around and accessible via text but left us to ourselves. All around a fantastic airbnb experience. Bonus chickens and outdoor kitty. 
202187,15396934,2014-07-08,889616,Cameron,"Supreme location, quiet neighborhood with easy access to South Congress. The hosts are lovely, friendly, helpful and pretty hands off - they let us have our space, but checked in to make sure everything was okay. We used both the bed and sofa-bed, and slept great. The only cons were the shower  is small (like navy ship small) and the chickens (which I loved) can wake you up in the morning. These factors did not bother me much (in fact I usually went out to watch the chickens in the morning), but if you are sensitive to needing shower space or a quiet morning, you might be slightly disappointed. Otherwise, we loved our stay. I really can't imagine why I'd stay anywhere else in Austin again. "
202187,15828785,2014-07-16,16633042,Alan,"Very easy place to stay. Comfortable and convenient to walk to South Congress strip or short cab to downtown or most anywhere. The place was great. Nice bedroom. Comfortable living room. Small package, great thing."
202187,16085408,2014-07-22,15862142,Pamela,"Fantastic location, lovely quiet neighborhood, and a 5 minute walk to South Congress which has all you need, great food, food trucks, & tons of vintage shopping.  Also easy to walk into downtown, about 30 minutes.

The studio apartment is perfect for a stay in Austin, such a charming space. The cold bottles of water in fridge when my husband & I checked in were a nice touch. Very clean space, comfy bed, guidebooks, small kitchen & fridge.
The hosts John & Molly were laid back & very friendly. They checked in 
w/us a few times to see if all was okay and if we needed anything. 
John also gave us a heads up that someone was coming to check the gutters so if we heard work or walking on the roof we knew what it was.
We were there 5 nights so we also got some fresh washed towels and a cleaning during our stay.
The chickens on the property are an added bonus and also the sweetest outdoor tabby cat keeping the property safe at night.

It was our first trip to Austin and we would absolutely stay here again.
"
202187,16277424,2014-07-24,4939980,Ethan,"Though unfortunately brief, this was one of my best AirBnB experiences! The pictures really do not do this beautiful little apartment justice. Walking distance from some nice South Congress destinations and certainly in a neighborhood that offered unique Austin flavors, this place would be at the top of my list the next time I am in Austin. The only negative is that the shower is a little small. I was comfortable at 5'10"", but a substantially larger person might struggle."
202187,16921966,2014-08-04,2079706,Debra,"Cozy cottage filled with books, CDs and nice artwork. Right outside the door is the hen house, a charming feature we loved. This is a lovely wooded area of Austin with an amazing mix of modern and old fashioned homes. We were able to stroll the few blocks to Congress Street for breakfast and shopping. "
202187,16996980,2014-08-05,17621378,Toni,"This place is truly great. Only 3 blocks from the popular South Congress commercial district (food trucks, great restaurants, boutiques, quirky shops). I was traveling by myself and felt extremely cozy, safe and comfy in the charming guest house and loved my short walk to South Congress. I was in and out in a flash (stayed one night and flight left at 6 a.m.), so I didn't get a chance to meet the owners; but they keep up a great place. The neighborhood is full of really cool houses with unique character and cool landscaping! This was my first Airbed B&B experience and I will definitely be using this service again. Cheaper than a hotel and more of an authentic city experience than a hotel."
202187,17351893,2014-08-11,4150366,Maile,"The South Congress studio is in the perfect location. A short walk to excellent food, coffee, vintage shopping, and nightlife. John was a great host and accommodated all out requests. The studio has a great selection of music (cd's) and movies for you to enjoy while you're recovering from a delicious BBQ lunch or dinner. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. "
202187,17561896,2014-08-14,5776683,Erin,"The apartment was the perfect home away from home. It was within walking distance of tons of cool restaurants and shops on South Congress but was very quiet at night. What's more, it was close to the bus stop, which allowed us to further explore Austin.

John and Holly were friendly and had lots of knowledge to share about Austin. They gave us a lot of privacy, but they were easy to reach via Airbnb's messaging and text. During our stay, John popped into the apartment to check on the mini fridge, and he left us some bottled water and coffee and creamer. The apartment also had some umbrellas and beach towels for us to use. These thoughtful touches made an impression.

We also liked listening to the chickens in their coop outside the apartment and walking through the Travis Heights neighborhood. Very homey.

We wanted a super-chill couples' getaway, and that's just what we found. I would recommend the apartment to friends and family, and I would try to stay here again."
202187,17705123,2014-08-16,1772347,Susan,"Even though our stay in John's South Congress Studio Apartment was very brief, we felt comfortable and safe while there.  It was an excellent location that is close to the quirky, trendy South Congress Avenue.  It is easily walkable to great shops and restaurants.  In fact, if the weather is agreeable, it would be easier to leave your car at home, as parking on the main drag is tricky.  There were a nice assortment of visitor books/guides waiting for us to learn more about Austin. John was easily accessible by phone when we got a little lost upon arrival, and we were glad that we had a chance to meet when we got there.  We only got a little taste of all that Austin has to offer, but we would definitely come back to this cute apartment again! "
202187,17951628,2014-08-19,16541103,Megan,"Big thank you to John and his family for allowing my husband and I to stay in their quaint cottage. It was perfect for our weekend. From the clean and comfortable cottage to the perfect location, being just a quick 5 min walk to SoCo, we couldn't have been happier with our stay. We will definitely keep this place on the top of the list for our next trip to Austin!! "
202187,18103083,2014-08-21,12145846,Josh,Great space! Had a need for a place last minute and the Cain's really came through. Thanks for wonderful stay!
202187,18153327,2014-08-22,6138914,David,Charming with a comfy bed. Just what I was looking for. 
202187,18345728,2014-08-25,7005001,Drew,"We had a terrific experience in John's apartment. Everything was just as described in the listing. The space is charming and clean. It's centrally located, just a short walk to lots of great things. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to anyone. "
202187,18622337,2014-08-29,4984058,Adam,"John was a fantastic host, and the apartment was perfect for two of us. Thanks so much!"
202187,18848741,2014-09-01,17772190,Roy,Had a great experience here and the location was perfect! Very clean and quiet. 
202187,19169638,2014-09-07,10933304,Julia,"This rental is so well located! It was the only listing I looked at and my travel companion said I did an excellent job with my selection. The size is just right (no one spends much time in their hotel when in Austin).  Our plans kept us near the lake and we could walk, bike or take public transportation everywhere we wanted to be."
202187,19384499,2014-09-11,3768244,Chris,This place was excellent. Centrally located and easily accessible to all areas of the city. The neighborhood is beautifully quaint and John was a fantastic host. Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin.
202187,19427782,2014-09-12,1423994,Kristen,"We were only in John's backyard apartment for 24 hours, but it had all that we needed. 

The location made it easy to have a late night, visit lots of food spots, and enjoy live music. 

The space was tidy, though it does have a lived in feel. The bathroom is also very compact. The low showerhead was a little difficult for my husband to navigate, but he managed. 

John was easy to communicate with, the bed was comfy, and access and check-out was very painless. "
202187,19597949,2014-09-15,17889023,Leslie,"The place was great, very comfortable, clean and it had everything we needed. We also really enjoyed the location, great neighborhood and an easy walk to South Congress. John was very nice and made us feel welcome, we'd love to stay again for our next visit to Austin."
202187,19816287,2014-09-19,16291043,David,"John was awesome and respectful of my space, and a super nice guy. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. The chickens were also very nice.......

And the location was A+. SoCo is an awesome part of town with a positive, organic vibe. Lots of unchained restaurants and shops to visit, and a way to experience the ""essence"" of the real people who make Austin such a cool place to visit and live.

I was in town for a conference at the Austin Convention Center - less than two miles to downtown! This was a WAAAAAAY better place to stay than an expensive hotel in the CBD."
202187,19928066,2014-09-21,17513626,Julie,"Had a great time! Apartment was very cute, honestly better than I was expecting! Roomy enough for two people and a dog. Loved the chickens. Hosts seemed very friendly and accommodating. Neighborhood was great, weather was a little nasty during our stay, but you can easily walk to quite a few restaurants and shops on Congress. Overall a great time, definitely recommend staying with John! "
202187,20131440,2014-09-23,21617204,Kelsey,"Overall, we had a great experience! The chickens were a really cute addition and we had fun watching them wander the yard. The family seemed very nice. The shower is a little hard to maneuver in and gets incredibly hot but other than that, everything was great. We really appreciated the last minute accommodation and how clean the home was. I would definitely recommend this cute little cottage to others! "
202187,20195593,2014-09-25,8493527,Jay,"Great few days at John's airbnb in Austin. Location is perfect, short walk to the action on South Congress (clubs, restaurants etc.) and a 5 minute drive to downtown. Lots of space and privacy. Will return for certain."
202187,20285904,2014-09-27,15731474,Daniel,"This was our first airbnb experience and we wanted to dip our toes in the water. We really enjoyed it and would absolutely do it again.  Place was very comfortable and charming. Nestled in a really nice neighborhood full of beautiful homes. My wife in particular loved the aesthetic/decor. Super close (walking distance) to Austins legendary and eclectic shops, music venues, restaurants and coffee shops.   The best word I could use to describe the whole area is ""vibrant"" and I think pretty much anyone could have an enjoyable experience staying there and exploring. "
202187,20336779,2014-09-28,13455468,David,Best place I've stayed in Austin thus far.  A little slice of serenity blocks from SOCO.  Can not wait to return!
202187,20523155,2014-09-30,16355152,Laura,"Great location, tidy and cute place to stay! Very fair price and provides everything you need - bedroom, little sitting area, small kitchen area with a coffee maker. 

Tidy and pretty clean. Quiet neighborhood allows for decent sleep. Can walk to south congress easily and enjoy.

Thank you to John and his adorable studio apt! "
202187,20689281,2014-10-04,18043352,Jenny,"Great place -- clean, private, quiet, ideally located.  Friendly hosts, happy chickens and sweet kitty Lucy.  Thanks for a great stay for ACL 2014!"
202187,20891863,2014-10-07,10117569,Paul,"We had a great few days at John's apartment and felt very relaxed and comfortable here. It's well equipped and has most things you'll need. The bed is super comfortable, which is great after an Austin night out! Don't think you can beat the location - in a quiet neighbourhood just 5 minutes walk from the Continental Club and the other Soco delights. The bathroom is compact and the water does get very hot. Our advice for the shower is to turn the cold on first, then you'll be fine. John and family are very respectful of your space so you can come and go as you please with no worries. If anything it would have been nice to see a little more of them, but overall the whole thing was great. And the chickens just add that little unusual Austin touch!"
202187,20964895,2014-10-08,8733780,Susan,"This place is charming and restful.  Being able to sleep well is really important to me when I'm traveling, and I slept great here.  The bed is comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet.  It's a short walk to South Congress which is also great.  And of course, the chickens outside the front door are the icing on the cake.  "
202187,21412714,2014-10-17,7373844,Jade,"Our stay at Johns South Congress studio couldn't have been any better! We loved the quaint setting, sitting outside in the mornings watching the chickens and the location was superb! John & his family were great, really friendly and helpful. The studio is great for a couple, comfy bed and peaceful at night. We loved walking to South Congress which was so close, always feeling safe. If your looking for somewhere well priced, quite but close to all the action I would definitely recommend it! "
202187,21504550,2014-10-19,16626821,Anne,"The stay was perfect.  The house was ready as soon as we arrived.  We were quickly greeted by John because we happen to cross paths.  Other than that, he provided complete privacy the rest of the trip.  Neighborhood was cute and was an easy walk to S Congress.  The entire stay was comfortable and lovely.  I wish our stay had been longer. "
202187,22415488,2014-11-05,5685725,David,"Great place! Clean, comfortable, very private and excellent location. Just a few short blocks to all the action on S. Congress, but the studio is in a very quiet neighborhood -- the best of both worlds. John was very friendly and helpful. I hope to stay here again. "
202187,22449120,2014-11-06,23291433,Josh,"Great place to stay in Austin. Unbeatable location close to S. Congress, comfortable guest house, and responsive host. "
202187,22575742,2014-11-10,16044556,David,"The shack is awesome! It's the perfect size for one or for a couple, with a nice little fridge and sitting room and large bedroom. The neighborhood is very walkable and close to South Congress, so lots of food/drink options. We used Uber for the longer trips or out to East 6th and there was always a car nearby. We stayed for a long weekend and it felt like having a little home away from home. The hosts are super friendly and welcoming, and I don't know how we could have had a better stay. "
202187,22654132,2014-11-11,8671671,Anastatia,"This cute tiny house (next to the tidy chicken coop and host's home) was a short distance from South Congress on the host's property. (You wouldn't need a car, but it has room for you to park on the drive if you do.) There is an assortment of books and music and movies if you're looking to stay in, but some reference items if you're hunting for a place to go in town. Heater and two window ACs let you adjust the temperature to be comfortable very quickly. The kitchen has a sink and mini fridge and other assorted items that let you feel at home in the space. The sleigh bed in the separate bedroom was beautiful and made the room look so inviting. We appreciated the opportunity to stay here on our final night in Austin. Thanks!"
202187,22777488,2014-11-14,267216,Jimmy And Annabel,Super.... hope to be back
202187,22833475,2014-11-16,13828645,Caitie,"Awesome location near South Congress Ave with shops, restaurants, and quick access to downtown Austin. The space is fairly small without stove or washer/dryer but the neighborhood can't be beat! "
202187,23100600,2014-11-23,12259590,Chelsea,"This was our first AirBNB experience and my husband was a little skeptical, but we both loved it!  The space is so cozy and comfortable!  And even though the location is STELLAR, it's in a very quiet area.  We will definitely try to stay here again.  Thank you, John!"
202187,23254404,2014-11-26,106406,Brian,"A great AirBnB location--homey, well-appointed standalone unit on the owner property with chickens as your immediate neighbors(!)

A 5-minute walk to South Congress gives you a bunch of Austin options--all manner of funky food options + the iconic Continental Club for live music.  

Being on the same side of town as the airport makes it an easy trip to/from.

In short, it's options like these that make AirBnB a much more compelling lodging option than a more expensive, generic hotel downtown.
"
202187,23356572,2014-11-30,18996296,Kyle,"Awesome experience with John and Molly. Upon arrival Molly greeted us and set us up in our apartment. The apartment was off the street in a very quiet neighborhood that was only a 7 minute scenic walk to the heart of South Congress. Plenty of privacy and anything we needed was already stocked in the apartment. The hosts are very personable, the apartment was as described, and the location was excellent!"
202187,23568642,2014-12-05,547424,George,John and Molly were excellent hosts!  The place worked perfectly for us and was right around the corner from all the great places on south Congress.  Walking around the neighborhood and appreciating all the fun houses was great as well.
202187,23618909,2014-12-06,23292089,Dean,"John was a very gracious and thoughtful host...the guest space was very clean and inviting.  The unique collection of books in the bedroom space creates a warm feel.  All provisions were fully stocked upon arrival.  The neighborhood is lovely, and the walk from John's to S. Congress food trucks and shops is quick and effortless.  Would definitely book again!"
202187,23789219,2014-12-10,8932833,Nicole,"This space was lovely.  John was very friendly and the chickens were great.  We only heard them in the morning when we were already awake.

The apartment was clean, the shower was hot (the pressure wasn't amazing but that didn't bother us), and the neighborhood was quiet but safe.

I would suggest staying here.  There is an amazing collection of CDs and VHS but we didn't have time to listen to any.  Should have though.  

The bed was so comfortable.  Perfect for immediate snoozing.

"
202187,24068861,2014-12-18,6210493,Josh,"John's guesthouse was in a great location in Austin. The place was warm, cozy, and inviting! Thanks again!"
202187,24179123,2014-12-22,2514842,Alan,"Cannot recommend this place enough.  The location is perfect and it's roomy and charming with a fantastic music and book selection to compliment a very comfortable bed.  John and his wife are welcoming hosts and the chickens make for an unforgettable experience (along with some great photos.)  If you're going to Austin, this is your best choice.  Can't wait to go back! "
202187,24410932,2014-12-28,3553595,Catherine,"This was a cute, cozy cottage tucked into a nice neighborhood within easy walking distance of South Congress shops, food, and music. It was also easy to walk across the river to Rainey Street and 6th Street - we didn't have to get in the car for the two days we were in Austin. We did hear some little critters scurrying through the ceiling of the cottage but the cottage itself was very clean and comfortable. Easy check in and out and very private. I also liked waking up to the sound of the chickens in the big coop next door. Great spot for people who like a little wilderness! "
202187,24642793,2015-01-01,5308093,John,"When we first arrived we were greeted at our car by several chickens and a friendly cat.  John had turned on a light and set the heater to a nice warm setting (we visited for New Years) for our arrival.  The apartment is very comfortable and conveniently located next to the shops and restaurants on South Congress.   It is a good distance from the main house and as mentioned in the listing, John and his family were very respectful of our privacy (we actually never met face to face).  "
202187,25207616,2015-01-09,17127976,Phillip,"Perfect location to explore SoCo - less than ten minutes walking to some great restaurants and shops. Also less than ten minutes walking to the SoCo bus stop that allowed us to get to North Austin pretty easily. We took an Uber a few times at night and never paid more than $10 a ride. The apartment was perfect - mini fridge and microwave to keep leftovers from eating out. The small heater in the living room was more than enough to warm the whole place. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore Austin on foot, bike, or by car. "
202187,25379322,2015-01-14,14427797,Laura,"A fantastic stay in the heart of Austin's SoCo district in a most beautiful neighborhood. The apartment is spacious, clean and cosy - you've got really everything you need (including complete privacy if you want as the apartment is a bit set back behind the house). John and his family had left a lot of useful guide books on the table (especially the Fearless Critic restaurant guide book was phenomenal) as well as coffee and tea in the kitchenette. The walk to South Congress Avenue / The Continental Club is maybe 2 minutes. We felt like real Austinites whilst staying there and hope to be back soon! "
202187,25547473,2015-01-19,2528943,Elise,"This place was perfect for our Austin stay. The studio was clean and well decorated with great music options. Tons of things to do within walking, including food trucks, vintage shops, and restaurants. "
202187,25668037,2015-01-22,18770870,Monika,"John was easy to communicate with, the space is very cute and comfortable, and all of the attractions of S. Congress are a short walk away. Great place!"
202187,25683484,2015-01-23,12770465,Michael,"Arriving on a blustery, rainy, cold day in Austin, the heat was already on and this little back house was warm and cozy and the perfect landing pad.  It looks just like the pictures in the profile.  Comfy couch, comfy chairs and a large, comfy bed that handled my 6' 2"" frame with no problems.  After waiting out the rain and warming up for an hour or so I wandered the neighborhood photographing the incredible architecture; modern chic, bungalow classics and even a huge, old mansion on top of a hill.  It's a great area to explore.  I was able to easily stroll the two miles to my friend's hotel in downtown Austin and even though I never took advantage of them, there were plenty of places to eat and drink just a few blocks from this apartment.

Thoroughly enjoyed my short time there and would definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin.  I *highly* recommend it!"
202187,25904174,2015-01-29,4460978,Olivia,"The listing was very accurate - nice neighborhood, chickens, cat and all. We loved how easy it was to walk down to the new boardwalk along the Colorado River, or wander over to South Congress or food trucks over on 1st Street. We had a great time, would definitely stay here again!"
202187,25949010,2015-01-30,4057234,New,"Great place great neighborhood!  We just needed a place for one night on a Thursday booked it the Tuesday before.  Quaint, comfy and old school. An original copy of Heavy Metal Parking lot.on VHS ..Awesome! Thanks for the full coffee set up and bottles of water. Woke to the sounds of birds and chickens then headed out to South Congress to stroll."
202187,26159981,2015-02-05,17453837,Jeffrey,"Had a great stay at John's place.  It was cold in Austin but he had the heater on high and it was nice and toasty when I arrived.  The place has a great charm about it and I had an enjoyable evening.
"
202187,26200411,2015-02-06,11824003,Matt,Great little guest house in an awesome location. The space was clean and had everything that was needed. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin!
202187,26381817,2015-02-10,26686237,Selwyn,"The apartment was very comfortable and spacious, located in a fantastic area close to SOCO street. Had a great time, hope we have the opportunity to visit this beautiful city again. Would definitely stay here again."
202187,26518433,2015-02-15,15940051,Valerie,"Gracious hosts that made us feel at home. Easy to come and go to enjoy Austin. Easy walk almost anywhere- South Congress, 6th Street and many sites. 
"
202187,26628445,2015-02-16,23341853,Jeremy,"Great place that was last minute for us. Wasn't too small feeling, much larger inside than I expected from the pics. The bed was so comfortable.  Nice set up overall. The chickens didn't make any noise!"
202187,26752213,2015-02-18,16105623,Timothy,"Everything was as described and a very convenient drive to the main drag of the South Congress neighborhood, even walkable. After an emergency altered our itinerary, the hosts were helpful enough to clean up the space on short notice so we could check in well ahead of our scheduled arrival time."
202187,27085550,2015-02-25,9484834,Suzanne,"Our host, John, was just great. He was on the property and available for assistance when needed but totally in the background. My friend and I were comfortable in the apartment and we absolutely loved the location and neighborhood. Close to South Congress and downtown.
Highly recommended!"
202187,27214696,2015-02-28,26813356,Justin,John's place was very accommodating. He was able to get me in a few hours early and the place was spotless. The place is very convenient to all of the spots in SoCo. I look forward to visiting again soon. 
202187,27323426,2015-03-02,14244740,Rebecca,"This really is a perfect Austin location in South Congress! Walking distance to great restaurants and shops! I can't imagine staying in any other area of town. The little cottage is comfortable and cozy and was perfect for our rainy weekend stay. If we return to Austin, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Quite perfect! "
202187,27770135,2015-03-11,1561018,Ruth,This is the perfect place to stay in Austin. Super cosy cool place and a short walk away from the bars and restaurants of South Congress. John was a friendly and helpful host. 
202187,28295088,2015-03-22,14558923,Julia,Cozy and clean place to stay! Great location. Walk to SoCo and downtown. 
202187,28396157,2015-03-23,4724490,Jordan,"John's place was an adorable, well-kept space that was a welcome escape after SXSW week was over. He was quick to respond to messages, the place was ready for us right on time, and everything was very easy. 

Awesome location, and a great place - will definitely be back! 

"
202187,28862379,2015-03-31,9961372,Kelly,This is a lovely spot.  The hosts are responsive and very low-key.  The space is just as described and the location can not be beat!
202187,28981917,2015-04-02,11055168,Millicent,"Location was perfect for a visit to Austin, and the flat was really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!"

202187,29645173,2015-04-10,30639765,Anthony,Fantastic stay! This is a great place that is plush with South Austin style. We'd absolutely stay again.
202187,30066959,2015-04-17,26494099,Mark,"John spoke to me on the day I arrived, and had left the door open for me while he picked up his child from school.  He gave me a corkscrew when I could not find one in the apartment.  (I later found the corkscrew that was already in the well-stocked apartment.)  I asked if I needed to check out with him on my final day, and he said, ""No, we're good,"" as I had prepaid.  I did speak to John's wife before departing, and she was also very friendly and accommodating.  The neighborhood was quiet, tree-lined and peaceful.  I had a glass of wine outside the front door of the apartment one night and just soaked up the quiet, informal neighborhood.  The Cains have chickens, a dog and a cat, which I liked as an animal lover.  I also loved the apartment being full of books and music CDs.  The TV requires an upgrade to digital--it worked the first night, but not after that.  I didn't miss it, but the next guest might.  Plenty of linens and bedding, and I slept well.  Two air conditioners kept the place cool.  John and his family allowed me to use their freezer in the room next to the apartment to chill my beer and keep some groceries.  I used the microwave to make breakfast and a couple of dinners, which was a bit of a challenge, but worked.  Dishes were plentiful, but I would have liked to also have a few more microwave pans or dishes--most guests won't need this though, as I doubt most will want to cook in the microwave as much as I did.  I would have liked having a larger drip coffee maker in the room.  The shower and water pressure were pleasant, and there was adequate light throughout the apartment.  Everything in the apartment was comfortable, and I would definitely stay here again if I have the chance.  Convenient to a bus stop and South Congress St., where there are lots of places to eat and be entertained.  Neighborhood was sleepy in a good way.  I  did not lock the apartment door when I went out to attend my conference each day, and felt perfectly safe walking back from the bus stop, sometimes after dark.   People were friendly in the neighborhood as well, as I walked back and forth to and from the bus stop.  The cat and I bonded!   "
202187,30189372,2015-04-19,12433442,Bj,Had a great time. clean and Quite. We walked to Congress St.  All was good. 
202187,30353370,2015-04-20,31084822,Matthew,"Cute, cozy, and comfortable! We felt right at home with the diverse selection of books and music. A very short walk to S. Congress landmarks through Travis Heights was perfect for lunch and dinner. I would highly recommend this property. "
202187,30443468,2015-04-22,27129643,Michael,"Nice little mother-in-law apartment behind main house.  John and wife were very flexible with check-in and check-out....which helped us immensely.
This is very nice residential location close walking distance to a rapidly developing night life and restaurant area.  Can walk to bat bridge on Congress easily, but a bit of a shlep to 6th Street.  Also close to nice hiking trails along Lady Bird Lake."
202187,30543064,2015-04-24,25719417,Caroline,"Great apartment in a great location! Met the host once, very friendly and easygoing. This was the perfect place for a quick trip to Austin!"
202187,30971863,2015-04-30,13677744,Woody,"John's place is perfect for a trip to Austin. Three blocks from S. Congress with places like the Continental Club and Guero's. About a mile and a half from E. 6th. for many music choices. We walked everywhere, but Uber into the City runs less than $10 and the drivers were great. Bike share stations are also very close. Plan to keep your car parked. Austin traffic rivals anywhere in the country.....really the only negative.  Check out S. 1st also. The place is really starting to happen. 

The room itself is a one bedroom garage apartment with an extra sofa bed. Nice touches like organic coffee, half and half and water can be found in the fridge. Wi-Fi, although weak is available. All in all this place rocks! Thanks John....we shall return!"
202187,31294402,2015-05-04,14404435,Livia,Quaint little space! Loved our stay. Thanks so much!
202187,31480506,2015-05-05,1649371,Travis,"John was very communicative and very polite. The apartment fit our needs well, and was very close to plenty of stuff to do in Austin. It was clean and comfortable.

The only downside was the internet connection. It was barely usable most of the time. John mentioned this when we checked in, and told as that the signal comes from the main house and is best at the front of the apartment, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

If that is improved on, I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."
202187,31627581,2015-05-08,7919376,Chris,"A great little space, ideally situated for exploring Austin - everything we wanted to see seemed to be less than $10 away with Uber.  The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, we had all the amenities we needed. Having the radio on when we arrived was a really nice touch!"
202187,31771456,2015-05-10,26637976,Kate,"This was the best Air BnB experience ever! The cottage was so sweet and even better than expected. The location was to die for!!! Honestly, I think we may make this our go to location for every trip to Austin in the future. "
202187,31978003,2015-05-12,4923791,Lou,Listing description was accurate. Excellent location in beautiful neighborhood. 
202187,32483303,2015-05-18,19252138,Marissa,"This spot was perfect for my trip to Austin for my best friend's (email hidden). Cecilia Hotel . It was just around the corner and within a 5 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress. The private apartment was not only charming, but John went above and beyond to provide thoughtful amenities like water bottles & many toiletries. He was also very accommodating with my arrival and departure times. Would love to come back!"
202187,32795456,2015-05-21,33547292,Christopher,It was a comfortable stay in a great location.  Everything was clean and perfect.  Would definitely do it again.  
202187,32958655,2015-05-24,26747382,Kory,"Everything about our stay at John's place was perfect! His family was friendly and easy to communicate with and left us thoughtful amenities upon arrival such as water and some toiletries (along with a little classical music playing as we first entered). The location is fantastic being so close to South Congress, making getting around an absolute breeze. You'll surely want a cozy little cottage just like this for yourself after leaving. Oh, and you can't forget the chickens! They make for some fun little companions during your stay. :)"
202187,33272390,2015-05-26,8509768,Janerly,"John was very accommodating. We arrived a little later than expected and he made sure that we would still have access to the place. The listing description was very accurate. The place is a little older, but it has everything you might need. They even had toiletries in the bathroom! The neighborhood was beautiful, safe, and very close to restaurants and stores on South Congress. The place was clean, but could use a more through cleaning (the shower curtain was dirty on side facing inside of shower, and the AC units were very dusty). FYI, the shower is a little small, but nothing you can't adjust to. =) I loved all the books and guidebooks they had. A definite plus is being allowed to park your car in their drive way. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to be close to everything, and have a nice, private place to come back to."
202187,33647067,2015-05-31,8513174,Megan,"Wonderful place in my favorite neighborhood in Austin.  The bottled water in the fridge saved me after a long day walking in the sun.  Lots of little touches like that make it feel like home.  Easy and convenient entry, and I loved the chicken neighbors!  "
202187,34232517,2015-06-06,33781187,Jerry,"Great little neighborhood with ample parking and privacy.  It's a great location in terms of proximity to the highway and downtown, and the place itself is pretty low key and comfy.  "

202187,34932569,2015-06-14,26475860,Patti,"What an enjoyable and relaxing stay my wife and I experienced at your cozy little cottage. Nestled in a quiet, leafy setting, yet just a stones throw from the bustling city fun, it was the perfect mix of country and town. Our visit to Austin was wonderful, and your humble, enchanting accommodations made it all the better. Thank you, again. Dan and Patti McCartney, Toledo, Ohio"
202187,35337212,2015-06-17,35067110,Marcela,Such a special place. The location was amazing! The hosts were very nice and quick to respond to anything. Will be coming back!

202187,36445909,2015-06-28,35250062,Rachel,Location and accomodations at this place were great - a nice easy walk to south congress (right at south congress cafe). House and host were great. Would recommend and stay here again. 
202187,36508928,2015-06-29,10593851,Tom,What a great place.  The amenities were as described.  Very convenient to South Congress and Metro bus stops. We anticipate staying here again in the future.
202187,36846720,2015-07-01,278422,Doug,Great little place that's very convenient if you want to walk to South Congress. John was very accommodating and the friendly animals were a bonus. Would definitely stay here again!
202187,37155772,2015-07-05,32089256,Harshi,"This cottage was the perfect home base for us to explore Austin from. It was an easy breezy arrangement and had everything we needed: I loved the interesting and diverse collection of books, the travel guides and magazines (which really came in handy), thoughtful touches like recent newspapers and water bottles in the fridge, and of course a beautiful neighborhood and amazing location. "
202187,37431785,2015-07-06,506144,Alyson,I had a wonderful overnight stay at John's cottage. John was very easy to communicate with and his place is very private. It's more like a little home than a studio; the kitchen and living room are in a separate room from the bedroom. Plus John leaves room in his driveway for your car and there is also plenty of on-street parking. I would definitely stay here again!
202187,37515260,2015-07-07,28060513,Katie,"Cute, centrally located apartment. Well stocked. Perfect for our quick trip to Austin. Thanks John!
*note that the shower would be too short for someone over 6'. Bed is springy. "
202187,37632073,2015-07-08,25974695,Jennifer,"Wonderful place to stay!  We checked in with AirBnB for a last minute place to stay and John was very prompt to reply and a wonderful host.  The apartment was just perfect for my husband and I, very private, and very clean. Will definitely be staying again! Thanks John and family!"
202187,38535458,2015-07-16,37093327,Lauren,"This was our first time using Airbnb and we could not have asked for a better experience! The house was very clean, homey, and just the right amount of space. The location was perfect; we walked to S Congress and downtown easily. "
202187,38683809,2015-07-17,38653814,Jack,Had a good time! Really cute neighborhood and had a nice cozy cottage feel! Perfect location just blocks from S Congress and dozens of restaurants and shops! John was very friendly and helpful!
202187,39100038,2015-07-20,38192708,Angela,"Never used AirBNB before, but loved the experience. Great location, clean and comfortable (and cute) apartment, and a breeze to rent. I would definitely stay here again!"

202187,42101654,2015-08-10,40926233,Steve,This stand alone apartment is great for a visit to Austin.  It really fits the Austin look and feel and was very convenient for getting to the airport and downtown.  John was very responsive and while we never met in person seemed very friendly.  I'd definitely stay there again.
202187,42242193,2015-08-11,41044578,Kate,"We absolutely loved staying here! It was clean, and exactly as pictured and described in the listing! We will definitely be coming back to stay here when we come back to Austin! Great host, location and fairly priced!"
202187,42459626,2015-08-13,40107763,Tina,"This studio apartment is great. John was a fantastic host. Lots of shops and restaurants in walking distance. Great place if you are looking to explore Austin. The apartment was cozy, it was just two of us and we had plenty of room. I would recommend this place to anyone. It being my first airbnb experience, if the rest are like this then I will continue to use it. "
202187,42907616,2015-08-16,25508438,Viet,"Great location, perfect stay for two. "
202187,43334228,2015-08-18,38694928,Kitty,"Absolutely delightful, super clean and cozy cottage.  Wish this trip wasn't such a whirlwind as I would have loved to have spent more time enjoying the neighborhood (great location and very close to SoCo and all of the awesome restaurants, live music venues etc.)  Will definitely stay there again and again! :)   "
202187,43877986,2015-08-22,41818209,Sam,"I rented out John's studio for my mother and sister for a weekend. John had the studio in great shape and clean upon our arrival. Although we never met John, we felt very welcomed by him and the chicken. The home is charming and tucked into one of my favorite Austin neighborhoods, Travis Heights. Its perfect for one or two. Easy to walk or bike to some delicious food and fun."
202187,44506228,2015-08-26,25117336,Samantha,"We only had an overnight trip, but we loved it. Everything was so homey and comfortable. The neighborhood is great and less than a 10 min walk to Congress. Can't wait to stay here again!"
202187,44743838,2015-08-28,19709151,Jeremy,Cosy place in one of Austin's best neighborhoods.  The description was right on and the place was clean and comfortable.  Will try and stay there again.
202187,44980658,2015-08-30,30125986,Noel,"Perfect location - walk to SoCo but stay in quiet, cute neighborhood. And there are baby chicks right outside!!"
202187,45343884,2015-09-01,719634,Nora,"This cute little studio is in an amazing location. It's in a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood up in the hills, but somehow only a 5 minute walk to all of the bustling bars and shops of South Congress St. It was incredibly convenient, and John even lent me his bike to trek out a little further around the city. The apartment itself offers plenty of privacy and is clean and comfortable, and stocked with everything you need, from shampoo to beer. I would definitely stay here again! "
202187,45977923,2015-09-07,29108603,Casey,"Great location!! Very spacious, would recommend staying here."

202187,47310239,2015-09-17,10530248,Liz,"Absolutely wonderful! Due to traffic, we didn't get in until after 2am. Then left early in the morning for work...the studio was so cute and clean and ready as soon as we arrived! It truly is only a 5 minute walk to South Congress, which was ideal when we were craving the 24 hour Magnolia Cafe after a long drive. I would recommend anyone and everyone to stay here! Thank you!!"
202187,48158092,2015-09-23,2429850,Colin,Fantastic little place with tons of charm! My wife and I were only here for one night but wish we could've stayed longer. I knew we came to the right place when I saw the music selection :) Can't say enough great things about John's place. Absolutely no complaints! 
202187,48255697,2015-09-24,44679135,Rich,Really enjoyed the experience. Anna and Chad were very helpful working thru some technical glitches during the reservation process and were delightful in person. Accommodations were well designed and my pup enjoyed the deck and back yard! Easy walk to dinner and even watched the super eclipse with Anna's mom from the front yard.
202187,48354335,2015-09-25,44708504,Lisa,"This was just the perfect little place to stay.  Our studio was in a quiet and cool neighborhood, but was a quick walk to restaurants and shops.  All was clean and the bed was comfy.  Was even better than expecting and was a great price too.  We will be back!"
202187,48968479,2015-09-29,35804691,Michelle,"The booking process was super easy, and John was prompt in answering any questions.

202187,49289993,2015-10-02,12049539,Robert,"Excellent stay.   Nice 1 bedroom,  great part of town.   What's amazing is that John seemed to have everything you needed or wanted, where you needed it.  I saw a mosquito, then I looked next to me and there was repellent. My wife wanted instant coffee rather than drip, and there it was.  Also lots of great books.   We hope to stay again when in Austin."
202187,49426574,2015-10-04,24515644,Andrew,This was the perfect place to stay for ACL. Within walking distance of all the great spots on South Congress and a short uber/pedicab/taxi ride to Zilker. Apartment was clean and comfortable. 
202187,49620363,2015-10-05,2139993,Andrea,"Great time at John's cottage! Exactly as advertised. Very clean and even some Bob Dylan playing softly when we arrived and a few cold beers in the fridge. Really happy with this location, too!! Perfect! Would stay again!"
202187,50033773,2015-10-08,11342646,Jessica,This location is great! You can walk to South Congress Ave. The neighborhood is beautiful and there's plenty of privacy. We would definitely stay here again.
202187,50428064,2015-10-12,32723040,Suzanne,"The description and pictures were accurate. This was cozy guest house with a comfy bed and plenty of sitting room. The location is wonderful with just a 5 minute walk to the heart of SoCo. 

John and his friend Norman were also extremely responsive to the questions we had prior to our visit and made sure we were able to check-in earlier as time permitted. Great hosts!

We greatly enjoyed our stay in this quiet neighborhood and it was a nice rest after the craziness of ACL. I would stay here on my next trip to Austin. "
202187,50932288,2015-10-16,450871,Mary,"Great deal.  Excellent location: 5 min walk to South Congress, just far enough away from the noise, traffic, street parking restrictions. Cottage has big bedroom with comfy bed; sitting room with couch, mini kitchen; small bathroom (if you're an esp large or tall person, shower may be a tight fit).  In-wall air conditioners in both rooms kept things cool.  Wifi good. Very quiet, very private, very clean.  Easy and fast communication with hosts. No wonder this place is booked all the time!  Would definitely stay here again.  "
202187,51107277,2015-10-18,31087162,Heidi,"Wonderful location -- five minutes drive to downtown Austin without ""downtown prices"".  I needed an iron and ironing board, for a morning wedding, and it was there just like he promised.  "
202187,51393713,2015-10-19,3210529,Daryle,"We enjoyed our stay at John's place and everything was as described. The location, just blocks from S. Congress was perfect. John made everything very easy for us and I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone visiting Austin who wanted a cozy place to explore from."
202187,51657818,2015-10-22,23572333,Mark,"Superb location - a five minute walk form the historic and always invigorating Continental Club.

The neighborhood is authentically Austin - a cool, unpretentious neighborhood.

Clean!

Thanks for the stay - looking forward to returning."
202187,52369578,2015-10-28,1011864,Sam,Lovely place in a wonderful Austin neighborhood. Thanks to John and all for making my stay so comfortable!

Thank you John!"
5509230,28108802,2015-03-17,20193522,Nayeli,Great host. Great place. Conveniently located to everything. Michaela was a great host and was very welcoming. Don't hesitate to book. 
5509230,28636513,2015-03-27,29870106,Nina,"Responding quickly to a question about booking just hours before needing a space to stay, Michaela made sure the space was clean and tidy before I arrived.  Conveniently located near a highway and also the scenic Shoal Creek walk/run trail, the space is at the rear of the building overlooking a fenced backyard with dappled sun/shade - very peaceful.  The bed is quite comfortable.  There is a ceiling fan as well as A/C, though we enjoyed having the windows open as a way to cool off the space in the evening.  It is very quiet at night.  The shower and toilet room are accessed from the bedroom.  There was a small kitchenette in an adjacent room shared with others.  We stayed for several days and it was nice to have access to the laundry machines. Very much enjoyed the visit and found Michaela and her whole family to be friendly and welcoming."
5509230,29783145,2015-04-12,30407545,Matt,"Michaela was very pleasant to deal with. The private room was beautiful. I didn't require any assistance, and it was a nice quiet place to stay in."
5509230,30175848,2015-04-18,31226463,Matthew,"Quaint house, nice backyard. The room was comfortable and well equipped with amenities.fresh  Linens and towels were readily available. We met the host as she was staying upstairs, very nice girl. Would definitely book again!"
5509230,30233919,2015-04-19,30344450,Peyton,Michaela was a great host! She was very accommodating and the room had complete privacy. I highly recommend staying here!
5509230,30367884,2015-04-20,26587672,Jason,"She very friendly when I arrived, the space accommodated my needs, and it was a quiet part of Austin at night. Would definitely recommend  "
5509230,30537461,2015-04-23,3181577,Chianti,Great place!  Safe! Clean and relaxing.  Love the layout of everything.  Great location!  The ladies:Michaela and Alice are very nice and personable.  Highly recommended.
5509230,30699143,2015-04-26,30117995,David,It was a really nice place to stay and raste. I really recomend it.
5509230,30963737,2015-04-29,3181577,Chianti,2nd time staying here & it went just as well as the first.  Nice & accommodating.   
5509230,31147864,2015-05-02,2028447,Kevin,"Great experience! Really easy check-in, my flight got in late at night and Michaela was nice enough to wait for me and let me in. The room was perfect for what I was looking for, very clean, in a great part of town and you can walk to the grocery store, Starbucks, and a great restaurant called Kerbey Lane.  I guess there were other people staying in the house but I never heard them or saw them, felt very private."
5509230,31909159,2015-05-11,20493225,Kasturi,Michaela (Micky) was a wonderful host and very understanding about our late check in. The place was exactly as advertised and could comfortably accommodate at least 3 people. The neighbourhood is conveniently located close to the university and other popular Austin locations. The stay was great and I would stay with Micky again next time.
5509230,32043360,2015-05-12,23509015,Ryan,Michaela was great with communication and made the arrangements very easy for me. The room was comfortable and totally worth it. Fantastic.

5509230,32225447,2015-05-15,14129050,Angel,This is a very clean and comfortable space. Check in was easy; Alex was very friendly. Located in a convenient area of Austin. 
5509230,32875255,2015-05-22,1978099,Rob,Great value and a hassle-free experience.  Private en suite bathroom and shower.  Lil rustic & homey - what you want airbnb for...   Super-responsive host.  Will stay again.  Thx M! 
5509230,33629731,2015-05-30,28895017,David,Great place for the price. You get your own room with a shower and private bathroom. Also has its own air-conditioning.  You cannot park in front of the house but there is free parking a block away. The biggest issue I had is that the living room smells like hookah.
5509230,33691881,2015-05-31,32063070,Jonathan,"Stayed here one night while in town for a wedding.  Michaela was a great host and responded quickly to any questions I had and was very welcoming when I arrived.  She also provided very detailed information/directions that made the arrival/departure a breeze.  

The room was exactly as described and exactly the same room in the listing picture.  The listing picture doesn't show that the room is actually slightly bigger than what you see because there is a small area with a futon/couch and a bookshelf.  There is also a dining/common area that you walk through to get to the room that was available to use if you needed."
5509230,35111582,2015-06-15,32466168,Elena,"We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is in a nice neighborhood that was close to UT Austin, Downtown, and other popular spots in the city. Micki was very responsive to our messages which made it easy to meet up at the place. Enjoyed having a private bathroom and shower in the room. I would come back here again next time I'm in Austin! "
5509230,35359940,2015-06-17,18842447,Lilliana,"beautiful cute house, great space, Mikki was okay with us getting in late and then extending our stay sue to my boyfriend getting sick. the house was a close drive to everything :)"
5509230,35835610,2015-06-22,34615513,Kenneth,Micki is a grate host.  Place matched the description and I'll stay again if she'll have me.
5509230,36123778,2015-06-25,21963986,Tammy,Great spot.  Nice having a bathroom in the room.
5509230,36752401,2015-06-30,37041455,Brandon,"Great place, great host, and great price. Everything you expect from an AirBNB: homey, kitchenette, separate showers/bathrooms, and great location. A very fun 5 mile bike ride to get downtown!
Highly recommend this place. Can't beat the price!"
5509230,37186834,2015-07-05,22905580,Hemi,"Previous to our arrival to the Sun Room, Michaela was very helpful. She answered all our questions and made check-in super easy. The room was great as it has it's own en suite and shower. It's a nice size too! My girlfriend and I felt very comfortable throughout our entire stay. I would certainly visit again!"
5509230,38006687,2015-07-12,34143974,Sophie,"I booked this room for some friends of mine who were visiting me in Austin. Michaela was incredibly helpful—she was quick to respond to any questions, she provided detailed directions and a description of the house such that it was easy to find,  and she made sure to check in with me regarding the guests' arrivals and departures to make sure both were as easy as possible. The room itself, from what I could see when visiting my friends there, was clean and comfortable. Were another occasion to come, I would absolutely book a room with Michaela again. "
5509230,38964118,2015-07-19,33662976,Erica,The neighborhood was about ten minutes from all the action with easy Uber and Lyft access. Michaela was accommodating with check in time and worked with us with ease. The room was comfortable and the perfect place for a short stay. 
5509230,39139317,2015-07-20,344326,Luke,"Michaela was there to greet me when I arrived and made me feel comfortable immediately.  I was very tired from travelling so this was important to me.  Everything was comfortable and clean and I had an enjoyable stay and the apartment is quite easy to get downtown in an uber as it is only about 3 miles away.  I was only there one night so I probably didnt get to enjoy my surroundings more.
"
5509230,39460658,2015-07-23,38949991,Christine,"These ladies are amazing.  They worked with my late arrival,  and answered every question I had.  I loved staying here: everything I needed was in a nice little package,  and I didn't feel like I was disturbing anyone coming and going since it was so separate from the main living area. "
5509230,39983395,2015-07-27,37426913,Bruin,This was my first experience with AirBnb and I couldn't be more satisfied. No complaints whatsoever. The hostess felt like a friend that was doing you a favor and it was overall chill. The location of this place is prime! Only a 10 minute drive to downtown and if you rented out a bicycle (like I did) then it's only about 15-20 bike ride through serene Austin neighborhoods. 
5509230,40297731,2015-07-29,12228694,Charles,"Michaela and Alex were very helpful, making me feel welcome upon my arrival. They were very responsive throughout the whole of my stay. Alex made some recommendations for food and drink in the area. The room is comfortable and as advertised. Being pretty familiar with the city, I didn't need much direction, but felt they would be very helpful had I needed it. Recommended."
5509230,40468768,2015-07-31,29831730,Apurva,"Michaela's place is great. Its location is amazing. Downtown, UT, Arboretum are all few minutes drive away. The room is just like the pictures and  Michaela is great host."
5509230,41506905,2015-08-07,39528456,Nawwaf,"Amazing experience, latterly better than 5 stars hotels"
5509230,41553184,2015-08-07,33546279,Martin,Michaela is a helpful and informative host and made our trip to the place easy. The place was handy and good value for a night exploring Austin.
5509230,41842336,2015-08-09,32998424,Jessica,Wonderful host! Thanks!
5509230,42240670,2015-08-11,40288435,Dustin,Excellent stay! Michaela's sister was very helpful in guiding me around Austin. 
5509230,43390156,2015-08-19,34387142,James,Lovely place. Nicely situated in Austin. Great communication throughout.
5509230,43848354,2015-08-22,242115,David,"The room was cozy, and it was great having a private bathroom and shower.  Michaela was not around, and her sister was also out of town, so I did not get to meet anyone during my stay.  Though not in my room, there was an odor in the main kitchen area just outside.  Since I did not get to see anyone, I was not able to ask, but I honestly think it smelled like urine, perhaps from a pet.  Thankfully I did not smell with the door to my room shut.  Other than that, everything with my stay was fine, and the location was convenient for an event I was attending down the street."
5509230,44139239,2015-08-24,28621879,Kevin,"The listing was as described, and check in was easy. We didn't actually get to met Michaela but her father was nice and helped with the check in. Michaela was great at answering my questions and the house was in a great location to everything, usually 10min drive or so to site see. 


"
5509230,44648818,2015-08-28,2044232,Maxwell,Had a great stay at Michaela's. Comfortable room and bed with everything I needed as described. Her and her sister were very accommodating and responsive. 
5509230,45806565,2015-09-06,6110299,Elisabeth,"Contact with Michaela by email pre-stay was very prompt and welcoming. Also upon arrival and in successive days (I stayed for 5 nights), Michaela was very friendly and accommodating.

The room was pretty spacious, and the extras (shower and bathroom IN the room; some kitchen facilities like microwave and fridge just outside the room) were definitely a bonus.

The bed was great, there were two airconditioning possibilities (ceiling and wall) and the busstops to downtown just a few steps away.

With a bit of more LTC (towels were smelly, the carpet was crumpled, no sink in the kitchen area), this is a great place to stay in a top location!!! "

5509230,46446416,2015-09-10,33154505,Fred,Clean and comfortable. Communicating with Michaela was always quick and easy. 
5509230,46610740,2015-09-12,40724873,Katherine,"Great place for a couple an/or a small group of friends/family! One bed and one futon, both very comfortable. Toilet, sink, and shower all located within the room. Creatively decorated with a bright and fun feel to the place! Conveniently located in Austin, just west of UT campus, and around lots of delicious places to eat! Small kitchen available outside of the room with a table and chairs for communal dining space. Michaela was very helpful and accommodating.  Wonderful experience! "
5509230,46833032,2015-09-13,32094232,Siegna,I'm so glad I choose Michaela's place for my first airbnb experience! I actually didn't get to meet her but her equally as sweet sister was there to give my cousin and I the keys and all the info we needed. She gave great advice on things to do in Austin as well. The place is clean and conveniently located. Great place! 
5509230,47063527,2015-09-15,40724873,Katherine,"Michaela was very kind, flexible, and accommodating. She was helpful and quick to respond regarding check-in and check-out! Every time I had a question, she was available to answer for me. Clean towels and bedding were provided in the room and the kitchen was cleaned with coffee, utensils, and an open refrigerator available for use. It was a charming place to stay - lots of natural lighting from the back and side yards! Like the pictures depict, the room is decorated tastefully and the yellow walls help to brighten the space even more. Located in a great neighborhood off of the main street a bit, I felt this place was perfect for car transportation and parking. I definitely recommend this location and Michaela as a host. "
5509230,47322511,2015-09-17,43491523,Don,Michaela was very outgoing and welcoming. Very pleased with the location and the room. 
5509230,47653629,2015-09-21,32548276,Colleen,"Michaela was a great host.  She was communicative from the moment of booking and had everything in place for my stay even though I arrived at an awkward time of night. The apartment was exactly as pictured on the site and was very comfortable.  There were even toiletries in the bathroom (though I had brought my own)  It is centrally located to anything you would like to see, do, or visit in Austin.  A perfect experience.   "
5509230,48706435,2015-09-28,39526989,Samantha,"Nice place for the price. Basic but clean. Great location with green belt, residential, and places to eat in walking distance"

5509230,51149564,2015-10-18,42632177,David,"This private room hosted by Michaela Smith-Stocker was just what I was after. Clean and quiet with my own shower and bathroom. the bed was comfortable and I slept like a baby. My host answered all my questions before I arrived and was flexible as I was arriving late in the evening. Although I wasn't able to explore the neighborhood as I was attending a conference, it seemed perfectly safe and was close to the downtown area. Bonus for me was having a grocery store just a few blocks away.
Thanks for having me Michaela!"
5509230,51857481,2015-10-24,18120563,Jana,"Michaela was a great host. She worked with our changing schedule, and even let me borrow her hair dryer! He location was perfect. It was a short drive to downtown. We had plenty of privacy, and the common area had everything we needed. Her place is right upstairs, so that allowed us to feel like we weren't in the way at all. I definitely recommend staying here!"
6645530,42467597,2015-08-13,40436469,Joseph,Oli's place was even better than expected. Walking distance from some good food and his recommendations on where to eat and what to do were perfect! Oli was friendly and very helpful during my stay! Perfect for solo or a couple traveling.

He made some great recommendations for coffee shops and places to eat. The Hollywood is super classy, safe, and conveniently located. I biked to everywhere I needed to go. I would definitely stay here again."

776313,10908322,2014-03-12,12354282,Peter,"Killer pad and even better host! Pat made the stay as easy and enjoyable as it could have been. Seriously, if you're going to Austin stay here. You won't regret it.   Pat makes you feel like his house is your own. I now have a second home in Austin.  "
776313,12569046,2014-05-05,14333725,Jordan,"I will first say that Patrick was amazing at communicating before, during, and after our stay.  He gave us our space, but was available if something came up, ex, ""where are extra towels.""  Patrick was also clutch when it came to suggestions of place to go eat, hang out, whatever we needed in Austin.  The best part is we could contact him at anytime and he would get back to us within 15-30 minutes.  It was a HUGE help, since I've never been to Austin before.  Patrick was also very very flexible for us on check in/out times, which was a big help since 10 guys from different parts of the country had to arrive/leave at different times.

The house was clean when we arrived and it was an easy check-in process.  We had 10 guys staying there for the weekend and we were not cramped at all.  The floor plan to this house is unique and very open, while being very comfortable.  With Austin having the great weather that it does, the pool and hot tub were a key piece of our weekend.  Not to mention, the rooftop deck area is perfect for early mornings or evenings to hang out and chill on.  There is also a great back patio area with seating and a fire-pit where we spent a lot of our time.  There were TVs in every room, which was nice since everyone didn't always agree on what to watch.  

The house was a short ride to downtown Austin or to the bars and cabs were only about 10-12 dollars one way. In my opinion, this is a perfect location because its quiet if you want quiet, and close to the action if that's what suits you. 

All in all, it was a great weekend. Austin was amazing, we were super comfortable and happy in the house and out.  I strongly recommend renting this house and working with Patrick.  For my first Airbnb experience, it couldn't have gone better."
776313,14276342,2014-06-16,14329293,Bradley,"Our group had a great weekend in Austin and Pat's house made our weekend that much easier. The house is unique and a great place to hang out. We had 10 guys and never felt like we were stepping on eachother's toes. The location makes it easy to get downtown, down to the floating rivers, or to the lakes. More than anything, Pat made the group feel like we could be comfortable in his home."
776313,15703998,2014-07-14,1756265,John,"First and foremost, Patrick was very flexible with our Check-In/Out times which was great and allowed us to enjoy the extra few hours in Austin.  The house was very spacious and the our group of 14 never felt crowded. 

The house was definitely unique to say the least, from Delorean parked out front to the rooftop deck, overall the house was amazing.  The location was awesome, we were literally 10-15 minutes from everything; barton springs, Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, and of course all of the night life.  

I've used Airbnb on multiple occasions and this by far is one of the better listings available, I definitely recommend this place to any and everyone whether you just want to get away for a weekend and chill or get away and party on! Thanks Pat, we'll definitely see you again. 
"
776313,17370911,2014-08-11,17869776,Mike,"Being greeted by a DeLorean upon arrival really set the tone for the house. The owners have a unique, eclectic style that helps you escape from the everyday hustle. Plus, it was great to have a pool and hot tub right in the backyard. Word to the wise: if you lay down on one of the hammocks you WILL doze off. 

Our group of 10 guys loved the house. If you're planning a guys trip to Austin, put this rental on your short list. "
776313,18329346,2014-08-25,18112678,Ramon,"Patrick is a great host.  He can be reached by phone, e-mail, and text.  He responds in a timely manner and made sure my questions were answered.   His place was great for my group of 12 and everyone had a great time.  The location is wonderful.  Easy to get around Austin.     "
776313,20892668,2014-10-07,15483787,Christian,"We had a great time, the house was as advertised with everything in working order. Patrick is a great host. Many thanks, we'll definitely repeat when going to Austin!!"

776313,30770455,2015-04-27,1105695,Sean,"Patrick has a great home in Austin that's really good for large groups. It's open and spacious, has plenty of sleeping areas and a lot of outdoor space. It's about a 20 minute cab ride to downtown and main areas of bars and restaurants. Patrick, as a host, was good. He was very communicative for most things leading up to our stay and had a lot of suggestions for things to do in the area. He was traveling during our stay, so on site we dealt with his friend, Hunter. Hunter was also really nice and accommodating and offered to help us out with things in town if we needed it.
The home feels lived in - because it is. It's Patrick and his wife's main residence. The positives of this is that Patrick is very open with his home and you can help yourself to small items in the pantry, fridge, etc. If you're looking for a more pristine, hotel-like feel, this won't be it.
Our one major gripe with this rental was that the pool was unusable when we arrived. It had been like this for a week prior to our arrival, but unfortunately we weren't told about this until we arrived (even though Patrick had been communicating with us in the days leading up to our rental via Airbnb messaging). This was a major negative for us, since the pool was the primary reason we rented the home (and didn't go for something more central downtown, without a pool). Patrick did agree to a partial refund, which certainly helped to alleviate the pain of no pool. But all in all we wish we were told about the pool situation beforehand so we could have made a decision of whether we really wanted to stay there or somewhere else. "
776313,33076365,2015-05-25,28102028,Colin,"Patrick's place was perfect for our group of 13 guys for a bachelor party. The pool and hot tub made it a great place to hang out during the day. The location is great. About a 10 minute ride to west 6th. Patrick was very willing to help out before, during and after our stay (mailing a few items left behind). Highly recommended."
776313,35796237,2015-06-22,5515698,Joseph,Patrick is a phenomenal host.  He called in advance of our arrival to make sure everything was in order and offered to help us out in any way he could.  We were a group of 10 guys in town - the house perfectly accommodated us.  All the amenities were working - the house is about a 10 minute drive to downtown.  This house won't let you down and neither will Patrick as its host.  Highly recommend other people stay here! 
776313,47642014,2015-09-21,36452667,Peter,"The house was literally the perfect oasis for our group of 11 guys on a bachelor party. The house has a truly special design that combines a superb amount of space with a beautiful flow and connection throughout the rooms. We could have easily fit 20 people with all the extra couches positioned throughout the house. Our group spent a lot of time in the pool, which was great, while the hot tub worked to perfection! Patrick made sure that the fire pit and grill both had plenty of propane for our 3 night stay. The sunset from the roof is truly speechless, something that you can't really put into words. 

Inside the house we had all the hook-ups in terms of surround sound speakers (the concrete walls drown out all the noise!), cable TV to watch the football games, and so many cool decorations. There is so much technology that they have put into the house like the NEST thermostats, lighting, etc. THIS IS MY DREAM HOUSE. 

Patrick and his wife went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of from the moment we landed in Austin to the moment we left. They took a lot of time to show us around the house and make everyone felt comfortable, knew where everything was, and knew how everything worked. They listened to all of our needs and graciously provided us with so many different great activities to do, attractions to see and places to eat! They really made an effort to make sure the house felt like ours and that we experienced the best of Austin. Thank you again to you both!!!

I will definitely be staying at this house again the next time I come back to Austin! "

1021247,29590808,2015-04-09,30705651,Jack,"This was my first experience using airbnb, and it was an excellent start! Meredith and Eric were fantastic hosts, super attentive and always pleasant to communicate with. The entire process was painless, and I always felt like I could reach out to either of them if I needed anything.

The house itself was perfect, I was in town apartment hunting because I'm moving to the area, and more than once I thought to myself ""Man I just wanna live here..."" The decor is very hip, furniture is nice, and the beds were really comfortable. I honestly slept just as well here as I do at home.

If you're looking for a cool space for you and your friends to spend some time in Austin I highly recommend staying here. Enough beds for your entire crew, and just a short uber ride up to South Congress."
1021247,29871568,2015-04-13,30155151,Kyle,"We loved the location, and the town house in general. Great, tucked away neighborhood with friendly neighbors and a great patio area. "

Meredith is the epitome of the perfect host - she had some great suggestions, and was very responsive. Then there is the house: gorgeous house, very comfortable, lots of room, and a pool to boot!

If you are unsure, let me make it easy for you: stay here, you wont regret it!!

Our group loved the decor and the coziness!  We were close to major roads for a quick trip downtown or to other points of interest in the city.  Meredith and Eric answered all my questions promptly so it made it much easier to manage the group's schedule.  They also left some snacks --very nice after a long roadtrip.  The listing was very accurate with no surprises.  I would definitely return when in Austin!

The location is great for east access to city -- Zilker park, Lady Bird Lake, shopping on Congress, great restaurants within 10 minutes and hilarious Esthere's Follies on 6th.

While the property is delightful and thoughtfully detailed, the drive up appeal is less so.  This is a town home community designed in the 70s (I bet) you drive thru alley of garage doors to get to Leopold's on the end.  You might have a bit of a heart sink as you drive toward your unit, but that get's washed away once you step thru the vibrant orange door!   Will stay here a gain"

If it was up to me I would come back to this place every single time, that's how much I enjoy living here."

1021247,44916107,2015-08-30,37000186,Dawnie,"Nice location and great place for a group on a budget.  The townhouse is pretty old but decor is fabulous.  Again, good choice if you are a group on a budget.  Also, I wouldn't recommend bringing young children to stay there as there are stairs they could easily fall off of (I did not bring young children but as a parent that is the first thing I noticed).  

Meredith and Eric were fabulous hosts.  Any questions I had before booking were answered almost immediately. We arrived around 10 pm and couldn't get the lockbox open-  called and Eric answered immediately.   They also checked in on us while we were there to make sure we had everything we needed.  Really appreciate led that.  Thanks :)

1021247,47620951,2015-09-21,30557905,Gregory,"The listing was very accurate and the place was very nice and comfortable.  We really enjoyed the stay.  It's a great central location, close to campus, downtown and the South Congress Area.  I would stay here again.   The key lockbox is actually a great system.  I've used Air B&B where it has been a hassle to meet up for the key.  This was much simpler.  "
1021247,48284225,2015-09-25,18107538,Jesse,"Was just as described.  Great location, just minutes from downtown.  The hosts were very easy to work with and responded very quickly to any questions we had.  I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking to explore Austin."
1021247,48498793,2015-09-27,23945687,Shino,Kevin was very helpful! He responded to our phone calls & texts pretty quickly!! I would probably stay there again. Decent price & comfortable beds. 
1021247,49057285,2015-09-30,22865236,Nadine,Meredith and Eric were fast and reliable in their communication about our stay as well as extremely detailed with the arrangements! The house was perfectly clean and in a superb location between the airport and downtown Austin! We used Uber the entire trip and were able to get around easily. The apartment had everything we needed for our short stay and it truly felt like home. I would definitely recommend this location and will be back :)!
1021247,49587594,2015-10-05,32768944,Claudia,"Te place was perfect for us, we appreciate the kindness of the hosts, we will love to come back."
1021247,50266169,2015-10-11,31691656,Jeff,"Eric couldn't be more hospital, gracious, and accommodating! He gave us a lot of stuff that couldn't do without. The place was gorgeous and in a great location. It was like staying with an old friend who was there if you needed him but mostly stayed out of your hair. This was the best Air bnb I've ever been to! If you're staying in Austin you got to choose this spot!"
1021247,50980042,2015-10-16,8615065,Adam,"Eric and Meredith, and they're beautiful home, were perfect. Easy, fast and friendly communication. Home was exactly as described (if not, a bit nicer!), great location, and comfortable to all degrees. Will certainly stay there again when in Austin. Many thanks!"
1021247,51108793,2015-10-18,3355440,Jude,"This is just what you're looking for!  Artsy, well maintained, great location for our plans and somewhere we would stay again.  Thanks!"
1021247,52672138,2015-11-01,19898931,Elizabeth,Great accommodations - look like the photos. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
8502075,50720998,2015-10-13,39080458,Hayden,"Great Place to stay for ACL, about a 20 minute walk to the park that is not too bad at all! Host was very kind and worked with us well to schedule times. I would recommend this airbnb!"
8636158,50565502,2015-10-12,32054521,Chiawei,Cool host. Love the place.
8636158,52130199,2015-10-26,46104753,Stephen,Description was very accurate. Apartment was clean and in a great central location to downtown and SOCO. Samantha was a great host and worked with us on arrival and departure times. Overall we were very happy with our stay. 
8636158,52953739,2015-11-02,47981477,Mike,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2339443,10923983,2014-03-13,12026782,Akinori,"Jonathan and Jess are very nice host. Always they have supported kindly for my first visiting in Austin. It was a nice and wonderful expericence in Airbnb. Hopefully, I would like to keep in touch with them from now on. Hope to see you soon.  "
4285742,22322499,2014-11-03,640131,Lee,"Very welcoming home. Clean, spacious, lots of utilities and appliances, plenty of towels and sheets. Perfect for me to stay the week. There were two bedrooms and a sofa so could have easily fitted more people. Handy location to downtown. $8-10 Uber ride or 45min walk. "
4285742,27199602,2015-02-28,22223966,Kathryne,"I'm so thankful that my friend and I chose this listing for our one-month stay in Austin! It was absolutely perfect. Comfortable, fantastic location, exactly as described. I loved being able to walk to South Congress and the Lady Bird Trail. Dani and Joel made sure we had all the information we needed prior to our arrival. We had a small issue with the gate (it was only a problem because my ornery dog is an escape artist) and Joel showed up within hours to work on it. I highly recommend this property (their other nearby properties looked equally awesome) for your stay in Austin. "
4285742,29086687,2015-04-03,28413121,C'Anne,"Loved this place! It's a poster child for Ikea - great Euro vibe. Very clean and great location. We felt very welcome and all info was great! Thanks Dani!
"
4285742,31199095,2015-05-03,1134946,Christine,Three of us stayed here for a long weekend and absolutely loved the space. You'll find everything you'll need and even a few things you didn't know you needed. Dani has thought of every detail to make for a wonderful easy stay. And she even went out of her way to hookup payperview so we could enjoy the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. We'll definitely stay here again and highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a tasteful mid-century designed house. 
4285742,45938171,2015-09-07,35494234,Bettina,Everything about this stay was effortless and enjoyable.  We were in Austin to meet family from California and thanks to Dani Rasmussen we were all able to be in separate units next door to each other.  All of our places were clean and so cute.  Very family friendly and central to just about everything.
4285742,48329316,2015-09-25,2582518,Sandy,"We regret that we did not get to meet Dani but when we arrived there were lights and music to greet us.  Dani's home is the nicest airbnb home that we have stayed in.  Very clean and a well stocked kitchen.  We will stay here or any of her homes again. 

Thanks Dani!"
4285742,48417336,2015-09-26,42478784,Ben,"Dani's place was fantastic - I would highly recommend it to anyone staying in or around Austin. It's close to downtown Austin, it was very clean, and she made it very easy to get in and get out. "
4285742,51607246,2015-10-22,33597018,Crystal,"Loved this place. Cute, quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to tons of great restaurants, bars, and stores on South Congress. Short drive to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Only about a 10 min drive to downtown. Parking spot, super convenient and easy keypad entry, small private backyard area with grill, cable, and lots of other amenities included. Host included a binder in the house with info about the house but also included a 6 page document of restaurants, grocery stores, and activities in the surrounding area and gave a short summary of each one... we used it several times a day! Super helpful. Everything was very clean... I have severe allergies and had absolutely no issue whatsoever. Place was exactly as pictured and was so cool and comfy. My husband and I were sad to leave. Would return for sure. "
2386616,49528207,2015-10-04,34757299,Jennifer,"Room is basic, no frills - you're definitely staying in a garage. Despite that, bed was quite comfortable, shower water pressure good, large air conditioner unit worked well, free wifi. Great location - we walked to coffee, breakfast, drinks, and riverfront path. Easy street parking. Host was easy to contact and quick to respond. After our first night, I let him know that his son's exuberant play upstairs was too loud for our comfort, and he responded right away and kept the noise much lower for the next two days. The family kept to themselves, but we bumped into them a couple of times and said hello and chatted with the cute little boy. Overall a decent experience - for me it was all about the location!"
2386616,50346597,2015-10-11,26758822,Chase,"Two friends and I went to Austin for Austin City Limits Music Festival. This was our second year coming, and staying in an AirBnB was definitely the way to go. Beats hotel prices every time. This was the PERFECT place to stay. It was a quick walk to Zilker Park and right in downtown. Anything we needed was less than 10 minutes away. We saved so much money foregoing Uber charges. The garage apartment definitely had a garage feel, but we only needed it as a place to crash at night and a cool place to escape the heat and rejuvenate for the afternoon shows. Our host was so accommodating and helpful with anything we needed. When our plans changed, he was adaptable. He had great recommendations for artists at ACL too. Had no problems with this stay. It was absolutely fantastic and worth every penny! "
727715,9665898,2014-01-04,10917180,Vince,Great place to stay. Good locale and beautiful home. The host was very accommodating. 
727715,10444453,2014-02-18,5779719,Rodney And Emily,This is a great place! The entire apartment is brand new and Keri did a beautiful job. It has everything you need - even a washer/dryer. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! 
727715,10900024,2014-03-12,3318143,Alicia,"Keri's apartment was gorgeous! The style, comfort and thoughtful touches made me feel at home. I will definitely recommend and stay there again. Did I mention she had great coffee and drinks there ready for me!
Couldn't have had a better experience. "
727715,11040717,2014-03-17,5282986,Grif,Keri's place was great with an ideal Austin location.  Very clean and extremely well done on the inside.  We had a great stay and I would highly recommend it.
727715,11744823,2014-04-14,12457157,Anne,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keri's garage apartment. It's gorgeous and clean, even more beautiful than the pictures show. Keri has it well stocked with all the little things you need during your stay. My husband and I repeatedly commented on the prime location. We felt like we were close to everything and yet the apartment is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. We would love to return someday!"
727715,20908384,2014-10-07,4408114,Jana,"We had a WONDERFUL experience staying at Kerri's garage apartment! It really looks EXACTLY as shown in the pictures. It felt even better, it's totally luxurious and brand new. 

Honestly we looked at some similarly priced hotels and you can't even compare how much better this place was: it was double the size of even a generous hotel room, the wood floors were amazing, the bed was super comfortable, the furnishings were designer perfect, and the trees outside of all the windows really made it feel like you were staying at a quiet tree house, and not in the middle of Austin.  

Oh, and the full sized, brand new washer and dryers were literally nicer than what we have at our house. So convenience to be able to do laundry!(again, unlike a hotel)

I could go on about the place itself (the kitchen is perfect, the marble finishings in the bathroom are to die for, every detail is out of a magazine) but then there is more to say about the location. We ""accidentally"" discovered this little brunch place ""Kerbey Lane"" around the corner, just by walking around the neighborhood, and it turned out this was one of the most famous spots in Austin. Who knew! What a great are to be in, so accessible to everything.

Oh and the hosts are just perfect. They're literally the most perfect couple with the two cutest kids, down to the dog and the tree swing in the back yard. I really felt like we were invited guests given our own secluded tree house.

This was our FIRST AirBNB experience, and I'm now worried that the next one won't be able to compete :) If we're even in Austin, this is definitely where we're staying."
727715,21284240,2014-10-14,8400983,Sarah,"Keris over the garage apt was the absolute perfect place for our group of 3 friends to stay during ACL.  It was exceptionally clean, comfy bed, great decor, & with all the little touches like a stocked fridge & Keurig that was put to use daily.  The neighborhood is safe & easy to access the metro or cab to downtown from.  We'd love to return!"
727715,21687638,2014-10-21,5089904,Charlsey,"This apartment is even better than the pictures!  We so enjoyed our stay!    It is a perfect spot for a couple or a single traveler, basically a hotel room with a full kitchen and great bathroom.  There is a private entrance that was really nice, as we came home late one night, and everything is newly renovated.  Keri was so easy to deal with, and she even loaned us her iron.  She checked on us during the stay to make sure everything was okay, and made us feel so welcome.  Would highly recommend this apartment."
727715,21981205,2014-10-27,22243028,Phillip,"Kari was amazing! It was my brothers wedding night and needed her help setting their room up, and she not only did it with no hesitation, but also left a bottle of bubbles in the fridge for them. I work at a luxury hotel and this is still one of the best experience I've had anywhere. "
727715,22618850,2014-11-10,10911582,Janna,Keri was a great host! She was easily reachable at anytime for any questions and a joy to work with. Her place is beautiful and in a perfect location. Close to everything we needed. And her place was exactly like it's picture and super clean! Great stay!!! 
727715,26702721,2015-02-17,26880575,Carrie,This gorgeous space in a quiet neighborhood that is close to everything was perfect for our weekend away. Keri was very accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend this lovely space to anyone visiting Austin!
727715,28076224,2015-03-17,8243700,Gabe,"This apartment was lovely, Keri was the perfect host, and the neighborhood is central and easy. 

The apartment is a great size and makes excellent use of space. It really is as tidy as the photos. Finishings are high quality, and there is an efficient and super quiet washer and dryer. It's up above the garage, and if you open the blinds it feels a bit like you're in the trees. Beautiful. I want one of these over MY garage, hah!

Keri was super responsive before and during the visit, she was there a couple times we needed something, and out of our way otherwise. Just a super-easy experience with Keri. 

The neighborhood is very central. I walked to Central Market and took a $4 Uber back, and Kerbey Lane cafe has 24-hour food that everyone can like, a 5-minute walk away. 

I highly recommend this place, and wish you a great trip to Austin. "
727715,28173631,2015-03-19,12896808,Paul,"Absolutely beautiful, easy to get to, easy to work with. Just top notch in every sense. I couldn't recommend this place any higher when staying in Austin "
727715,29800192,2015-04-12,29600747,Matthew,"The apartment was exactly as described. Great neighbourhood and a loveky furnished space. Comfortably room for the four of us. A nice touch the host leaving beers and water in the fridge. 
Would definitely recommend. "
727715,33170187,2015-05-25,318898,Jennifer,"The apartment was just as described, and the neighborhood was very pretty.  We stayed here with our 2 kids, and it was a great fit for us."

We love Austin and the trip was made special by Keri.

727715,50614010,2015-10-13,29446036,Diana,"My boyfriend & I stayed at Keri's place for ACL & it was a great experience! About an eight minute Uber ride into downtown Austin. Keri was friendly & responsive, & the apartment was clean & stylish. Would recommend for anyone looking to explore Austin."
727715,51331621,2015-10-19,44028225,Zach,"What an amazing place!!! The pictures are great but when u get there it is even better!!! I loved the small details that made it even better (kcups, things in fridge, full size washer and dryer). When we come back through, this will definitely be our place to stay."
727715,52375135,2015-10-28,41843016,Jenni,Beautiful apartment in a great neighborhood! Uber to downtown is about $10. 
5447133,27956065,2015-03-15,28380181,Anthony,"Kelsey was out of town but her cousin/roommate Jack was such an amazing host that I would rather have stayed here than at a free Hotel downtown. Our overall experience in Austin for SXSW was made amazing by the easy communication, great conversation, and comfortable atmosphere. We literally felt like we were staying with family...the space was ready for us when we arrived, Kelsey left us a handwritten note to welcome us, and had prepared sleeping arrangements for our last-second guest. The location, its proximity to places to eat, the parks and river, and nearly instant availability of Uber cabs all lend to this being the best stay we could have imagined.

From Kent: ""A million thanks, super gracious, way cool, accommodating, etc"". LoL

From Jason: ""It was super cool. Jack was so nice."""
8195498,50592059,2015-10-12,46040970,Mary,"I love staying at Heather's place! We had our own room with plenty of storage place to store our luggage during our stay. Her home was beautiful! It was in a very nice quiet location not too from from downtown and Zilker park. Although I didn't get to meet Heather, I did meet her roommates, they were all so friendly! The entire time she kept in touch and made sure that things ran smoothly before we arrived. I would highly recommend staying with them if you're ever in town!"
8195498,51093350,2015-10-17,33448534,Jessica,"The place was great and in a nice neighborhood.  Plus, there was complimentary snacks and beer in the in-room mini fridge."
8195498,51866057,2015-10-24,6687687,JANELL,"Heather made me feel very welcome although I didn't see her during my stay.  My stay was very quick and fast.  It was walking distance to my interview site.  It is also walking distance to shops, restaurants and a grocery store.  Heather was kind enough to give me information about the best way to maneuver transportation.  I took the bus to her home from the airport and walked to her home from the grocery store during the night.  I thought the neighborhood was safe and the directions were perfect.  
Her roommate was there in person and was very kind and helpful.  I would highly recommend this location again."
8195498,52449980,2015-10-29,43491523,Don,"Picked up key as arranged. Room is very convenient location with easy and quick access to MoPac, restaurants, downtown, UT. "
3997642,33179009,2015-05-25,33504499,Brad,"The Treehouse was incredible! Very clean, very comfortable, and the hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly. They didn't intrude at all, but went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed or could reach them if we needed anything else. They even texted us to make sure we were okay when a big storm hit the area. We would absolutely stay here again!"
3997642,37232787,2015-07-05,36635241,David,"Loss for words is what I had when we arrived to the Treehouse, it felt very cozy and modern the place was just amazing but what made it even better was the location, nature trails where just a walk away and if you wanted to relax by the river that was a walks distance too. To top it off our host Marcus was magnificent, when ever we needed suggestions for some good breakfast or the best place to see the whole city, he knew just the spots. Staying at the Treehouse made our 4th of July weekend very memorable, and to put it simply it made me want to come back to Austin more often."
3997642,41844336,2015-08-09,1978453,Theresa,"Marcus greeted us on arrival and instantly made us feel at home. We could not have been happier with the room, and the added personal touches throughout were wonderful. Overall simply a great place to stay!

Even with it being a holiday weekend, we were able to travel all over Austin easily from the location, it had easy highway access. We had a wonderful weekend and will definitely be back!"

Marcus and Nora were extremely helpful and went out of there way to make me feel at home when I needed anything, but I had space to myself in the Treehouse. Would recommend this place to anyone!"
3997642,49621799,2015-10-05,14297761,Maria Erica,"This was my first Airbnb experience, & I'm glad to say it was a positive one. The pictures don't do the place justice. There was so much space! I was in town for the ACL Festival. My friend & I had a blast. Marcus was very welcoming & friendly. I settled in quickly. My friend made a move on the chess board...I hope we win. Until next time. Thank you Marcus."

2049351,9261606,2013-12-16,3827578,Lauren,"This condo made for such a wonderful stay in Austin. It is a minute drive to all of the shops and restaurants on South Congress. The room and bed are enormous! The place is immaculate, and so pleasant. Terrance was very helpful, and gave us a great deal for the two nights we were there. We would love to come again some time!

We would recommend this to anyone who wants a quiet time in Austin, or when they want to leave the traffic in the city and do some walking!"
2049351,9775876,2014-01-09,935831,William,"Terrance's place was cozy, and nicely decorated with a candy theme. Nice stereo and TV available for use.

We had 6 people in there with 4 sleeping in inflatable beds and a couch. The location is very good and we got an amazing value.

The main bed is big and extremely comfortable. Can probably fit 3 people.

The heating/cooling system is all digital and the best i've seen anywhere. Easy to use and I believe it could even be controlled remotely.

Kitchen was a good size, all appliances working correctly and has a bar with 3 stools. Very good setup.

There is also a nice desk to work out of with plenty of electric outlets, comfortable desk chair with wheels with adjustable height. And a window next to it for natural light coming in.

There was a washer and drier available for use. It came in VERY handy!

All closets were locked/taken, so if you are traveling with a lot of stuff, your clothing will need to stay in your bags. Other than that the place is highly recommended.

Terrance is very responsive to all requests and always checking via email if we needed anything. We were left all to ourselves and check-in check-out was a breeze.

"
2049351,9846822,2014-01-13,11182535,Caitlin,"We were first time users of airbnb. Terrance provided an amazing condo in a great location. Everything was as described in the ad plus more.

2049351,24255675,2014-12-23,4491195,Heath,"My daughter and I stayed at Terrance's place while we checked out the city for a couple of days.

I booked fairly close to my check-in date, so I appreciated that Terrance responded quickly to my booking request. He was pretty quick while we made arrangements to arrive. I also appreciated that Terrance let us check in a bit before we'd agreed as I'd made a mistake and arrived a little early. One of Terrance's friends greeted us and seemed nice enough. We didn't get to meet Terrance during our stay.

When I discovered there weren't washcloths in the bathroom, I didn't hear back until the following morning and we didn't get the washcloths we wanted. 

The beds had fitted mattress sheets, but no flat sheets. The duvets were cheap and didn't have covers on them. The mattresses were passable. The building materials/construction felt kind of cheap, too. It was mostly clean, though. It was fine.

I asked Terrance if we could keep our things in the room beyond checkout, since the Megabus didn't leave until later in the evening. He agreed and I appreciated that.

The neighborhood seems safe and pleasant enough. Though it felt a little mixed up or inauthentic to me."
2049351,25162944,2015-01-08,21730666,Lara,"This place is immaculate and Terrance is a fantastic and gracious host. After being on the road for a while, his bath tub/shower was an oasis in the desert and the beds (especially the down comforters) were amazingly comfortable. Terrance made sure we had the lay of the house and even the lay of the surrounding neighborhood, and was wonderfully communicative when we had questions about where to eat, etc. 

Terrance's decorating is also superb. His candy theme is unique and the art around the house is wonderful. 

This place is worth every penny! Would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat. "
2049351,31087754,2015-05-01,8158307,Brian,Terrance's place was great. Very clean and inviting. Exactly as in the photos. He was super accommodating. We booked the place 2 hours before arriving and he had the place ready! Would definitely stay again. 
2049351,31747613,2015-05-09,32546645,Kevin,"Terrance is an awesome host! He is welcoming, helpful, and great to talk to. The condo was super clean and easy to access. We would definitely stay here again if we came back to Austin!"
2049351,32015346,2015-05-12,32627844,Ashley,"The home was beautiful. The decorations were chic and the amenities were all very convenient and easy to use. Everything was clean and everything was so convenient! He has an Apple TV with a HDMI port, a sound systems within his house, and many kitchen amenities. Terrance is also great! He is quick to reply, super nice, and he even allowed us to use the master bedroom even though we didn't pay for that room. The price is a real deal. We would come back!"
2049351,32189514,2015-05-15,15287462,Kenny,Terrance was great -- very accommodating with our quick trip in and out of Austin.  His place is in a perfect location for getting around town and I'd totally stay again.  I'll most likely end up using some of the ideas I saw in his place for my own place as well.
2049351,32846034,2015-05-22,32634380,Hoang,"Terrance is a very sweet host! I couldn't ask for anyone better. I loved the fact that he made us feel right at home. The beds were extremely comfortable. The bathroom was roomy and and all personal care things were provided (soap, towels, conditioner, body wash, etc...) I loved the fact that the bedroom is downstairs and secluded. The kitchen and living room were upstair, along with the master bedroom and another restroom. Terrance place could hold up to 8 people in total (he has 4 beds). I loved the place, and if I were to go to Austin again, I wouldn't book anywhere else. It was extremely homey, and comforting. The area was 5-10 minutes from everything, which is a plus, and it only took me 10 minutes to get to 6th street. "
2049351,35529548,2015-06-19,35996255,Natalie,"This condo was so cozy and modern! Think Ikea and hip:) We are doing a cross country trip and Terrance was very flexible with us arriving late and making us feel right at home. Also this condo is very close to 6th street, so that allowed us to Uber for very cheap. Overall great experience in Austin:)"
2049351,36132041,2015-06-25,35576715,Mary,"We had a fantastic time staying with Terrance! The location couldn't have been more perfect: a peaceful street walking distance or very short Uber rides from South Congress and downtown. The beds were so comfortable and we had absolute privacy when we wanted it, but were also warmly welcomed to hang out with Terrance and Cody. And we did! They are very fun, very sweet and very hospitable. Highly recommend this Air BnB!"
2049351,36220235,2015-06-26,35576715,Mary,"We had such a fantastic time at Terrance's! Great place, great host! Just a perfect Air BnB experience!"
2049351,36852020,2015-07-02,11367310,William,"Terrance was very welcoming!  Everything was as described in the listing.  Terrance was flexible with our needs, and he made sure we had a good experience.  The neighborhood was quiet, and everything was close by!"
2049351,37783161,2015-07-10,6219264,Vanessa,"Lovely neighborhood!  Great to be able to walk to nearby South 1st street, which has tons of restaurants, coffee shops, and food trucks.  The beds were comfortable and the room we rented was clean and quiet. The private room is on the ground floor and the host lives above, where the kitchen and dining area is located. Our host was there most of the time but kept regular hours and he was a great ""roommate."" :)"
2049351,37872566,2015-07-11,2301045,Lauren And Daniel,Terrance was a very accommodating host to our group.  We were very happy to book with him.
2049351,38601875,2015-07-17,69814,Jaydene,"This was a great and private room downstairs. Even though Terrance was home, we felt like we had our own space.  We wish we could have stayed longer since they were great hosts and we enjoyed our experience. "
2049351,40625695,2015-08-01,37352256,Julia,"This was a really great place for my friends and I to stay. There were five of us and we still fit very comfortably in the one bedroom. The hosts, Terrance and Cody, we're so nice and made our stay really fun. They gave us our own space and were happy to answer any questions we had for them. We would absolutely stay with them again!"
2049351,41151613,2015-08-04,27615339,Monica,Absolutely loved staying at Terrance's condo! It is the perfect spot to stay in while in Austin. Terrance and Cody were such great hosts. My group felt so comfortable while there. We loved our stay!!
2049351,44851280,2015-08-29,42165134,均庭,謝謝你們提供了那麼多設備給我們用，能住在這個交通便利的地方真是件幸運的事情
2049351,48238079,2015-09-24,14251050,Chris,Great experience! Second time staying here. The place is great and Terrance is a great communicator. Zero issues. Will definitely come back!
2049351,49173001,2015-10-01,22154131,Maxine,"Great condo close to everything. The place was clean, had towels, loved the shampoo conditioner and soap gel dispenser in the shower. It was a keyless entry so it was easy to go in and out without having to remember the key. Nice decor too! "
2049351,49289808,2015-10-02,5911966,Sherrie,"Great stay!  Terrance was such a great host, great accommodations and ease!"
3739692,37419512,2015-07-06,37158199,Amber,Lindsay was very accommodating and made sure I was comfortable! I like that the neighborhood is quiet and close to everything I needed. 
4121421,20777426,2014-10-05,21529782,Matt,"We never actually saw Natalie due to some delays on our part, but she messaged us and was super attentive and responsive. She made sure we had everything we needed.

Honestly, I don't know how to review the place... It was awesome! Pictures for the listing are a bit sparse and you don't get the full feel for the place, which is a shame because it's beautiful! 

Large spacious kitchen, comfortable IKEA style furniture everywhere. Excellent high lumen projector and a great sound system. Fully stocked house with silverware, glasses, and laundry equipment.

There was even two six packs of local craft beer and some fresh filtered water in the fridge.

Overall, excellent base of operations for our bachelor party and we'll probably stay again! Book with confidence."
4121421,21228860,2014-10-13,21188711,Terry,"I got to stay in Natalie's beautiful home for ACL wkd 2 and it was an amazing weekend. First of all Natalie was very responsive and when we met at the house, she even brought a bottle of wine, how sweet! The house is so easy to get to and plenty of parking for everyone. Secondly, the home. At first there weren't many pictures up, so I wasn't too sure about the space but once we were inside I couldn't be happier. I loved the art work on each room, especially the Greetings from Austin mural right when you walked in. There's a huge projector that we watched movies on at night and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, including cute mason jars as cups. The beds were super super comfy and everyone had their own space. Also the ""You're my Butter Half"" sign is only a couple blocks away! Overall I would love to book Natalie's home again for future events and stay in Austin, don't hesitate to contact her! :) "
4121421,21539687,2014-10-19,12503543,Alex,"Loved staying at Natalie's house!  She was an incredibly gracious host - meeting us when we arrived and giving us some great tips on places to eat and go out in the neighborhood.  The house itself was fantastic - four very large bedrooms and easily accommodated the six of us, with plenty of space for hanging out in the living room and in the backyard.  The location was great, and was an easy Uber ride ($10) into downtown Austin.

Will definitely be staying here again next time we come to Austin!"
4121421,21895824,2014-10-26,21984213,Jennifer,"The host was fantastic, she made us feel very welcome and met our needs!"
4121421,22266217,2014-11-02,22262279,Tuan,"House was great!! Plenty of sleeping space and I had 12-13 ppl stay with me. She responds instantly to any messages. Projector and board games were a huge plus.plenty of parking space on the street compared to most places in Austin. I didn't even need a key just used a door code. We checked in really late and she let me check out a little late as well, I would def stay here again.thanks!!"
4121421,22615006,2014-11-10,22922577,Rich,"House was better than advertised . Great location , tons of room perfect for a large family or group  . Our host was friendly and accommodating responding within minutes of any questions or requests we had . "
4121421,23293345,2014-11-28,21402145,Mike,"Natalie is an exceptional host! We were made to feel welcome in many ways, including a nice bottle of local wine and local mico-brewery beer. The house was just as advertised and very comfortable as well as perfect for our family Thanksgiving gathering. Extra kitchen supplies were made available to us when Natalie found out we would be cooking Thanksgiving dinner at the house. The neighborhood is a typical Austin east side eclectic mix and quite as expected....charming."
4121421,23650027,2014-12-07,23966508,Auden,"Great place to stay. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and even small amenities that you might forget to bring with you. Only a short ride to downtown.  Natalie was a great host and responded back to messages promptly. "
4121421,24492438,2014-12-29,8785537,Jon,Cool house. Very spacious. Comfy beds and pillows. Plenty of fresh towels. Nice and clean. A good place to stay
4121421,24816955,2015-01-03,22069983,Peng,"Great place to stay with plenty of room for big groups. The residence is very well maintained and is exactly as described.
We had some issues with the next door neighbor asking for change, but I wouldn't really fault the owner for this."
4121421,25312951,2015-01-12,18339283,Timothy,Amazing! You will not find a better host then Natalie. The house has every modern convenience and nice personal touches. The projection tv is great for sports. There is lots of room to spread out in comfortable rooms. Top marks. 
4121421,25756736,2015-01-25,17160867,Arun,Natalie's place is one of the best stays I have had through Airbnb. The location is just 5 min cab ride from downtown and with uber or lyft it makes it very easy to get there. The place was very clean and organized. Natalie promptly met us when we checked in and gave some good suggestions on places to eat and drink in Austin. The place is very spacious to host a large group and also has an amazing full screen projector :-). All in all 5 stars for both the place and the host. 
4121421,25911047,2015-01-29,26210265,Mark,"My team stayed with Natalie for 4 nights and we never stopped our chorus of appreciation and the comments were ""this place is really cool"", ""what a bargain for the week"". We are much more likely to use airbnb in the future as a group,  and for myself,  I've already booked two more stays using the airbnb app! Thanks,  Natalie,  for showing us all how much we can enjoy and save money over hotels."
4121421,26012485,2015-02-01,25701754,Abigail,"We could not have asked for a more kind, gracious, and welcoming host for our first Airbnb experience! The house was absolutely precious  with plenty of parking for our large party! She also thought of every single amenity one could think of: water bottles and mints in each bedroom, plenty of towels, various toiletries, travel and dining suggestions, perfect cooking set up. Natalie was also very flexible with our arrival time and met us as soon as we got there! If we ever come to Austin again, we will stay here in a heart beat!!"
4121421,26310626,2015-02-09,5612621,Gary,"Highlights:
• Fast Wifi
• Coffee supplied! 6 pack of beer too
• Lots of parking
• Quiet neighborhood
• Great communication with hose
• Lots of beds/bedrooms
• Comfortable/clean carpet in bedrooms
• VERY clean/up to date house all around
• Great for groups
• Very close drive to downtown (12 minutes from the Airport)

We loved Natalie's home! Natalie was very flexible when we were checking in, and communicated promptly via text as check in approached. After a couple of hours there, we felt like it was our place. The house is very comfortable, and has a wonderful look/feel. There was a large group of us staying for a family trip.

The driveway is HUGE, so you're able to fit lots of cars, if you have a larger group. On that same note, this house was perfect for larger groups. We fit 10 adults, plus a baby. The place can easily accommodate 15+ people, especially if there are multiple couples, or friends/family willing to share beds.

We didn't use the backyard, but there's a BBQ and some picnic benches. Great spot for a summer day.

I'd recommend staying if you have transportation. I can't vouch for the public transit system, but it's not really walking distance from much, but it's VERY close with a car. The neighborhood is very quiet. So this is a great place if you're needing to get some sleep in.

Definitely recommend this house. and host!"
4121421,26912488,2015-02-22,25136655,Neha,"Natalie was great! She met us when we arrived, gave us a tour and great recommendations for the area. She welcomed us with beer and wine. The place was just as pictured, very cute and cozy. She was easy to communicate with before the trip and extremely accommodating. Would recommend staying here while visiting Austin!"
4121421,27762018,2015-03-11,26737518,Katie,"A 5-star experience! The close attention to detail, the wonderfully open gathering space, the flexibility of the hosts for our arrival and departure times, the quick responses if we ever had any questions (to name a few). Whenever we thought of something we had forgotten or needed, we didn't have to leave the house (extra blankets, filtered water, bottle opener). At one point we were quite chilly and received advice on how to warm the house up. The hosts even offered to pick up a space heater if we needed. Isn't that kind?! By far one of the best experiences!! Thanks for the wonderful stay!"
4121421,28067161,2015-03-17,22698566,Helena,"I stayed here with 13 other colleagues during SXSW. The house was very close to #6 bus (3 mins walk) that takes to the downtown within 20 mins. It's also about 10 mins away from a grocery store (HEB) by Uber. 

The photographs in the listing don't seem to justify the spaciousness of this house very well. We were initially a bit worried how crammed it'd be with 14 people, but we didn't have much problem throughout 5 nights surprisingly. The house has 2 stories - the 1st floor has the master bedroom/bathroom + 1/2 bath, and the 2nd floor has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, which worked out perfectly for our team. The living room has a projector which would be perfect for the movie night. 

The house is well maintained, and Natalie was an amazing host throughout the trip. She was very attentive to all inquiries and so considerate to equip necessities for the team such as chap stick, ear plugs, energy bars, bagels, water, etc. 

She made all of us feel home, and we can't thank enough for her hospitality and attention to details. 

I'd highly recommend this place for anyone who visits Austin, whether it's for a family retreat, team offsite, etc. "
4121421,28694718,2015-03-29,23573726,Dave,"       This ended up being the spot I chose for my brother's bachelor party. Several people were heard to say it was the best time they'd had in years. The house itself is very nice, clean, and provides ample space even for a group of nine sleeping separately. Natalie greeted me. ( half an hour earlier than scheduled as I arrived in town unexpectedly early )  
       If you choose to stay here fair warning; you will be disappointed when you realize that Natalie is only your hostess and not actually one of your friends. She knows the city well, is generous with her time and info, and provides a welcome that will make you feel at home within minutes.
       We did not spend a lot of time in the house, nor did we cook there, but speaking as a chef and basketball fan the equipment provided for making a family dinner and/or enjoying some time watching a game was everything anyone could ask for.(NCAA tournament was going on during our three night stay so we did have half a game on for a little while one evening) 
         For transportation we mostly used Uber and it seemed like it was about ten or twelve minutes to anywhere we went, which was very nice. There is some great golf right down the street, good food, and a few large parks and baseball fields. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, but not so much so that one would be worried about disturbing anyone.     
        My brother lives in on the wrong coast and I live on the West coast, his friends are scattered in between. None of us had ever been to Austin. Guaranteed that many of us will return. Whatever your size, shape, group, family, or interests Austin has a great time in store for you. Have fun, be safe!"
4121421,29510357,2015-04-08,18075396,Emily,"Such a lovely friendly welcome from Natalie! My band and I were exhausted after a long journey and so happy to find a welcome pack of wine, sweets, toiletries and beer - and even pre-stamped postcards! The house itself was immaculate, well-equipped with everything and super comfy beds. Lots of space and we felt instantly at home. The neighbourhood itself was fine and we had a yummy breakfast taco down the road on our first morning. We got taxis into the centre because they were only $10-15 using Uber and we were a big group. My best Air bnb experience so far, highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. We hope to come back one day!"
4121421,29728195,2015-04-12,26524083,Matt,"I have nothing but great things to say about the house and Natalie. I was traveling with a group of 10 and had plenty of space to both sleep and hang out. The location is great for those that want convenient access to 6th street and the surrounding area. Natalie was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the weekend. This one is a five star, no brainer."
4121421,30192698,2015-04-19,16633942,Emily,"Ok... Let me tell ya- Natalie is SUPER SUPER COOL!!!!! Like, this was such a rad experience and she is such a sweet, responsive fun host! I read someone else's review who said they wished she was their actual friend and I completely agree! 

Her home is lovely, perfect for groups, perfectly set up, the location was great- it was all awesome. The home was stocked with towels and products and it had shampoo and a hairdryer (!!!!) I could not have been happier. The free beer in the fridge was also a sweet touch! All the girls loved their stay too.  The earplugs provided are clutch if you are sensitive to bird noises. "
4121421,31179762,2015-05-03,15900525,Dan,"Natalie is simply a tremendous (website hidden) in the fridge, a welcome package, a warm welcome upon arrival. The house is great for large groups. It's in a quiet neighborhood, without a ton of things to do around it, but just 10-15 minutes driving to downtown. The house itself, is awesome, with a nice yard for hanging out. We had 15 young guys and Natalie put up with us graciously, even telling us not to worry about the noise. Great spot, great host. Just book it."
4121421,32319849,2015-05-17,26270260,Alexandra,We had a bachelorette party of 7. We had more than enough room. The place was so cute and clean upon arrival. Pics on site are a great representation of the place. We took an uber to everywhere we went party and it was only about a 10 min ride at the most. Natalie greeted me and was so very nice. This was my very first airbnb experience and I was very pleased. 
4121421,32956194,2015-05-24,25846948,Morgan,"Our experience in the Texas House was wonderful! I had my whole family in from out of state for my graduation from UT and Natalie provided us with a home that was clean, spacious, and in a convenient location. "
4121421,33392703,2015-05-27,24235278,Rachel,I couldn't have asked for a better experience! It was flawless. Natalie is a breath of fresh air and I'll DEFINITELY stay here again! The place was clean and fresh. I was in want/need for nothing! She even thought about leaving stamped postcards for her guests! You will NOT be disappointed if you stay with Natalie!
4121421,33678347,2015-05-31,30986286,Matthew,"Natalie and Nick were great hosts. They were very responsive to all my questions and very flexible with accommodations. Everything was as described - very clean, warm, and friendly. I would definitely recommend booking with Natalie and Nick. Great experience!"
4121421,34457473,2015-06-08,16382661,Jorge,The house is Amazing.  Need not bring a thing because they've already got it.  Very spacious and accommodating.  Couldn't ask for a better place to fit all the friends and be right by the city.
4121421,34998207,2015-06-14,20700700,Carlos,"Awesome! Great location and Natalie is the best! 
Home inside is better than what the pictures show."
4121421,35317569,2015-06-17,3331741,Jen,"Natalie was a fantastic host. Very communicative and accommodating. The space is great for a group--large, open, clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed. I hope to stay here again when visiting Austin!"
4121421,35708207,2015-06-21,21820935,Doni,Natalie was a great host. Everything was as described. Plus she had cold beers for our group. Can't get better than that. 
4121421,36049536,2015-06-24,20691197,Ashley,"We loved Natalie. She was so responsive and the little special touches like having stamped postcards was amazing! We weren't in the house much, but our time there was very comfortable. For us, we were a group of coworkers and the hotels were either sold out or way too expensive so this listing was perfect for us. We had enough to space to have privacy since we were literally spending 24/7 together and the house just really had everything. Natalie is a sweet soul and I'm so happy I came across this house in my search. "
4121421,36368204,2015-06-28,13759572,Arjun,"Natalie was the perfect host, and her delightful house was the perfect home base for my brother's bachelor party. 

The house is clean, well-maintained, and utterly charming, with little homages to Texas everywhere. The projector and sound set-up are great for music and late-night movies, and the picnic tables outdoors could not be more suitable for 12 pounds of brisket, pulled pork, and ribs from Franklin Barbecue. We appreciated the quiet location, far enough removed from the craziness of 6th Street to feel like a refuge, but still a short cab ride away for when the nightlife beckons. 

Natalie herself was always prompt, courteous, and enthusiastic in responding to my questions and concerns (and also very generous when we accidentally broke one of her glasses!). Transacting with her could not have been more smooth. 

Highly recommended listing for any large groups visiting Austin! (And don't forget to check out the nearby Texas Sausage Company for some fantastic hot sausages to cook up for breakfast!)"
4121421,37194461,2015-07-05,35248086,Monita,Natalie was awesome- thinking about everything and being super accommodating. Anytime I had a question she responded within half an hour - even on a holiday! It was my first experience using Airbnb and I'm happy to say it was fantastic. 
4121421,37570593,2015-07-08,33083908,Kiran,"Very amazing place! My first time using Airbnb was here and I felt very happy choosing this as the place. The place was not too far from the city and I felt like everything was nearby. There was more than enough room for the 12 of us who had used this place. And the price was amazing per night! First thing that happened as we showed up, Natalie was there to give us a tour around. Very nice and caring personality and were not even annoyed once with me calling asking questions throughout our stay. There were also water bottles for the hot summer and wine provided by Natalie. The dining table was my favorite part since it was extendable, we were able to fit all 12 people and if we wanted, even more. Would really recommend to everyone!"
4121421,37955428,2015-07-12,29951363,Scott,"I was very pleased with the entire experience in staying at Natalie's home. Not only was she accommodating to us arriving before our designated check in time, but she also left us snacks and beverages to get us started! She was always available to answer questions, and was very helpful in providing information about Austin tourist attractions, restaurants and bars. 
The house itself was very spacious and had more than enough room to sleep the 12 of us that were there. We used this house as a ""home Base"" for a bachelor party, but this house would be suitable for all occasions. Overall, A+ experience!"
4121421,38874502,2015-07-19,35869935,Megan,"Excellent!!! The house was perfect for our bachelorette party and was only a $5 uber ride to 6th street! Natalie was awesome and provided all the essentials for everyday house use. We had so many girls getting ready and the space was a great size! The first night we were able to grill out, have a piñata hang in the tree out back and be extremely loud in the house. I'm not sure what that house is made of but we were able to be extremely loud and not hear anything outside. It was awesome! Next time we have a huge group in Austin we will definitely return! Thanks again Natalie!! "
4121421,40790739,2015-08-02,12637062,Jordan,Natalie is an awesome host. She was very responsive leading up to our trip and welcoming upon our arrival. The house was a great space for our group of 11 and an amazing value. Everything we wanted to do in Austin was easily accessible by Uber or cab. 
4121421,41850578,2015-08-09,39369476,Dario,"Natalie was amazing! Great communication, we met up at the place as soon as I got to Austin. She showed me around and was very welcoming, informative (about the place and the local area) and helpful. She really went above and beyond in terms of making the place feel like a second home during the weekend we were there. She checked in on us during the weekend to see if we needed anything, but there was no pressure to respond if everything was great or check in with her. I would definitely recommend her and her place to anyone looking for a spot in Austin and look forward to staying here again in the future! "
4121421,42195529,2015-08-11,33983425,Miranda,"The house is new and beautifully furnished, and perfectly fits for a company around 8 people like us. Natalie also provided us adequate supports and left a lot beverages in the fridge. All in all, it's a great experience and we all enjoyed these two days staying in this house. "
4121421,42520670,2015-08-14,21856524,Douglas,"What a wonderful place! Natalie's thoughtful touches were evident everywhere. Extra sheets? They're stored together and color-coded by bed size. Fun guides to Texas? They're on the table. Local beer? In the fridge. Super-fun projector for watching giant tv? It's in the living room. We brought our large family here for three nights, and we immediately felt at home. The house itself is simple and efficiently laid out, the location is very convenient to Austin attractions, the beds are comfy, and the bathrooms are clean and plentiful. You should stay here. "
4121421,42876293,2015-08-16,17841624,David,We had a great experience at Natalie's house. She was very responsive and extremely helpful. The house is exactly as described -- we comfortably fit nine guys. The neighborhood is a quick and cheap Uber ride to downtown and even closer to the East side. 
4121421,43783809,2015-08-22,23933101,Joe,Our experience was great.  The home was exactly as described and our host was very accommodating. Close to downtown and a great location.  My group and I slept comfortably and we were all very happy with our decision to stay with Natalie.  Five stars!
4121421,44543150,2015-08-27,23677460,Ben,"If you are travelling in a large group this is a great place to stay at. Natalie was extremely helpful from start to finish and she has kitted the place out with everything we needed and more. Downtown was easily accessible via a local train service, or if in larger groups, ubers were available for around $10. The grill in the back was great as well, allowing us to cook up our own version of a Austin Texas BBQ. Will definitely consider coming to this place again if visiting Austin in the future!"
4121421,44939388,2015-08-30,39084631,Darcy,"I loved this house. We had tons of space to accommodate all of us for my bachelorette party. The beds were comfy and had a great area to hang out in the backyard.  Natalie was a great hostess and left us a welcome basket,  came by to greet us, and gave great suggestions for places to go in Austin. I would definitely recommend this locale and Natalie again!"
4121421,45512630,2015-09-03,31924194,Jessica,"This house was perfect for our group who 4 who were in town for work. It was clean and well stocked with towel and toiletries. Natalie was great and met us when we arrived, even though we had a late night arrival! I would absolutely stay here again! "
4121421,45925080,2015-09-07,28582636,Brian,"I came to Austin for a bachelor party of 12 and the house was able to accommodate the large party with no issues whatsoever. Natalie was very friendly and welcoming, My flight was delayed and I was able to easily get in contact with her and get other guests into the house and settled before my arrival. The location of the house is as advertised, a nice short Uber ride from 6th street and Rainey Street where our group spent most of the weekend. Our group didn't have one issue with transportation. I had a great first experience in Austin, and Natalie's home was a big part of that great time, can't thank her enough! "
4121421,46718226,2015-09-13,35070413,Ronald,"Host was: fantastically accommodating and unbelievably thoughtful. Made our stay with a large group simple and worry-free. Easy to contact as necessary but not at all intrusive. In a word - ideal.
House was: exactly as-described, clean, well-organized, stocked with well-functioning appliances and accessories. Well-appointed and spacious enough for our co-ed group of ~10 college friends in town for a wedding.
Location was: just as described, a short Uber ride from downtown and also very convenient to the airport and major highways, while still fairly quiet at night."
4121421,47615748,2015-09-21,30351826,Kevin,Natalie was absolutely wonderful! She provided exactly what she listed and was always available and willing to answer questions. We slept 10 guys relatively comfortably and we had access to downtown for around $5-7 bucks using Lyft and Uber. I would recommend this house to everyone.
4121421,48550983,2015-09-27,37579563,Keith,"This house was just what my group needed for our bachelor party! Plenty of room, the projector was great for watching games, and we were in the perfect location to get to the bars and UT game. Natalie went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect and it was! Next time I need a house in Austin I will definitely be looking for this listing."
4121421,50537387,2015-10-12,4167970,Andrw,Great hosts! Very happy stay and lovely home. Amazing home for groups. I'd love to stay here again. :) 
4121421,51115386,2015-10-18,37362336,Chris,"Natalie was a fabulous host! The house has so much room and it is extremely clean. The kitchen was very well appointed, we could have cooked a 5 course dinner there if we wanted to. She gave us great suggestions on what to do around town.  Highly recommended!"
4121421,52816836,2015-11-02,5820888,Mark,"Natalie is one of THE best airbnb hosts I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. She is attentive, responds quickly to messages, and ensures that guests are knowledgeable about what to do.

This past weekend while we were there, Austin was hit with flooding and tornado warnings, which also resulted in lots of flight cancellations and delays that weekend. When informed of the situation, Natalie extended us a complimentary night for our group to stay in the house to help us deal with these extenuating circumstances, even though she had no obligation to. Needless to say, we were quite thankful for her hospitality and flexibility.

The house itself is wonderful and comes as advertised. It's quite spacious, and we tremendously enjoyed the space.

I'd highly recommend this place to any other large groups that are looking to stay in Austin."
8195606,50401968,2015-10-11,41665746,Geoffrey,Fantastic host and great place! Right when we got there she showed us around and we were in town for ACL and she did not hesitate to offer us a ride to the event! She did everything she could to make our stay comfortable!!
1002993,51966587,2015-10-25,45944632,Dianna,"Rebecca was very welcoming, flexible with my checkout, and with good communication prior to my arrival. Great central location. Really appreciated that there was an umbrella for me to use :)

"
8793361,51394264,2015-10-19,32200556,John,Had a great weekend. Celebrated my birthday. Apartment is really nice and in a good location!
8793361,52154712,2015-10-26,45610575,Erin,"John was a great host! He was very responsive and understanding and accommodating when my plans changed due to my original flight getting cancelled.  The apartment was exactly as described, and we had everything we needed for our short stay. John gave us a few local restaurant recommendations, and was very flexible with check in and check out time, which was super helpful and appreciated. Would definitely stay there again!"
4191383,21567701,2014-10-19,6793762,Debbie,"This backyard apartment exceeded my expectations!  Sarah was a gracious host - thanks especially for the surprise welcome gift of wine. There were two in our party and the space was fantastic for us.  We loved being able to use the full kitchen and even cooked while we were there!  With a private entry, the apartment provided easy access without having to bother owners. This cute spot is walking distance to some great restaurants and a quick ride to Zilker, ACL.  Super clean, nicely decorated.  Sarah had awesome suggestions for Austin nightlife!  We will return for sure. "
4191383,22568086,2014-11-09,272040,Autumn,"We had a great stay! The place was private , modern, clean and with a nice design. Our hostesses were accommodating   And prompt. We would stay our next visit to Austin
"
4191383,23403438,2014-11-30,23932538,Holly,"We really enjoyed our stay!  Our hosts were warm and welcoming, they were attentive in their preparation of the cottage and we felt so at home for our week in Austin.

There is a large closet which made it very convenient to unpack our clothes and settle in.   The cottage is situated in a wonderfully private backyard with an option to blackout large windows for sleeping in.  

The kitchen was well appointed so we could make meals and reduce the need to go out for every meal.  

The bathroom was spacious and super clean. 

This cottage is located conveniently and is in a great austin neighborhood.  There were wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the cottage and a short cab ride from all other areas of Austin.  

This is one of the nicest places we have rented.  We look forward to staying here the next time we visit Austin.  Thank you to our hosts for creating such a fantastic retreat.  "
576243,1661184,2012-07-08,2834662,Ari,"Cindy's vacation rental is adorable and everything I wanted. It is conveniently located in Austin, well furnished, and private. I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends. "
576243,1672887,2012-07-09,2848543,Ceyla,My fiance and I were looking for somewhere close to downtown and not in the $200/night range. This was our first airbnb experience and I must say it was very easy going. What can I say about Cindy..... for starters she is great at communicating with you and will answer any and all questions. She was very accommodating and flexible with check in/out. You would not even know that she lives next door. As for the place.... well its exactly as the pictures on her post. Its clean and comfy. I definitely recommend her place and you cant beat her summer prices.  
576243,1781126,2012-07-23,2871537,Alexander,"I had a great experience with Cindy.  Very friendly, and knowledgable about the Austin area."
576243,1821584,2012-07-28,2860968,Ann Christin,"Great host, and a great place to stay! Enough space, nice apartment with cosy porch. The couch was very comfortable to sleep in. We reccomend this place to others staying in Austin."
576243,1841225,2012-07-30,1541700,Ian,"A really nice location and a great apartment. King size bed, really (website hidden) and big kitchen. You know."
576243,1866021,2012-08-01,447464,Faith,"We loved our stay at Cindys place!  It was very homey, comfy, clean and nicely decorated.  It is definitely a place I would pay rent to live in! She was very good with communication which is important to us.  Thank you Cindy for making us feel at home.   "
576243,1888767,2012-08-04,11024,Jacob,"Cindy's house is great. Located in East Austin - that's really picking up - it's a charming 'back house' with great facilities, nice kitchen and spotless cleanliness.

In addition, her two dogs - Cooper and Bella - are insanely charming and friendly.

We had a great stay and can't recommend Cindy highly enough."
576243,1893162,2012-08-05,2859232,Tracey,i would highly recommend this home! Cindy did everything she told us that she would do for us...PLUS! She went out of her way to meet our specific needs. We will definitely use her again and we highly recommend her.
576243,1904939,2012-08-06,2992735,Monica,We had a great time. The house was cute and Cindy was very helpful and kind. Would definitely stay there again!
576243,1944948,2012-08-10,407361,Mike,Cindy's place was very inviting and accommodating! She has the kitchen fully stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. The bed was comfortable and it was a quiet place to stay. Overall a great experience!
576243,1987174,2012-08-14,2715085,Cory,"We had a fantastic stay at Cindy's apartment. The accommodations were ample and very comfortable. The location was the best part, as it was super close to what ever you want to do. Don't hesitate, just book it. You will not be sorry."
576243,2032341,2012-08-19,360967,Lisa,"Loved loved loved this place!  Fantastic location in the coolest historic house...soaring ceilings, awesome wood floors, extra comfy king-size bed, plenty of nice linens and pillows, COLD A/C, darling kitchen with everything you might need, secure driveway with electric gate, and the best screened-in porch ever!  

Cindy has created a such a comfortable space...we were there for 5 nights and didn't want to leave!  

The location is walking distance to a few cool restaurants, a convenience store and the Longbranch Saloon.  It's a little far to walk to downtown but Cindy is thinking of getting some bikes and that'll make this little gem 110% perfect.  

Cindy was also really cool and while she lives in the big house (attached), she totally gave us our privacy but was always available if we needed something.

I highly recommend this place and if I ever need a rental in Austin again, I will most definitely come here."
576243,2193881,2012-09-04,1465666,Mindy,"Great place in a convenient location, minutes away from everything! We would definitely stay there again. "
576243,2234427,2012-09-08,3329473,Craig,"If you enjoy a beer on an enclosed porch on a balmy summer's evening, this is the place for you. Cindy has created a very comfortable (and creatively decorated) little suite which is close enough to the action of East 6th, Red River, or UT, but far enough to be able to get away from the Austin scene if you want a quiet night at home. This really felt like a home away from home, and Cindy is the perfect host - friendly and informative if you want her to be, and completely hands-off when you don't. With it's own private entrance we barely even knew she was just next door. 
Be sure to check out East Village Cafe if you love good coffee (10 min walk away), and East Side Pies do a good pizza slice and are just around the corner. There are also convenience and liquor stores at the end of the street, not to mention the Historic Victory Bar and Longbranch Inn. Next time I'm in Austin I'll be staying here again for sure."
576243,2251447,2012-09-10,3281798,Guillermo,"beautiful home, with everything you may need!"
576243,2293013,2012-09-14,3493778,Chris,"I loved siting on the screened in porch in the evening and in the morning when I had my coffee. The bed and the futon were very comfortable. Nice cool air. Plenty of dishes and linens, big bright windows that open to let in fresh air.This home is in a great location close to downtown. I loved everything about this home and I don't ever want to stay in a chain hotel ever again.  Thank you very much."
576243,2372759,2012-09-22,1600766,Natasha,Great stay! Great place!
576243,2479870,2012-10-01,360967,Lisa,"This is my second stay in this house and I just love that space.  Cindy is such a fantastic host and and provides everything you might need to be comfortable.  Great bed and pillows, great linens in the bathroom, cool decor....all-around a fantastic place.  Plus, the location can't be beat.  This is my home-away-from-home in Austin every time!"
576243,2536954,2012-10-08,3165232,Vanessa,"We loved the apartment. Very comfortable and convenient. There is a great screened-in porch surrounded by trees and birds, which made mornings very pleasant. Cindy is very sweet  and made sure that everything was clearly communicated and working well for us. "
576243,2587000,2012-10-12,3237412,Jacob,The stay in Cindy's East Austin suite was near perfect. The location of the house is just a few blocks from restaurants and bars on East 6th Street and most other city attractions are within easy reach. Only little concern is that you might not want to walk home at night and taxis can be hard to get hold of. The suite itself is really cosy and with nice decor. Overall Cindy's suite offers great value for money and you experience a 'real' Austin home as an alternative to bland chain hotels nearby. Cindy is very helpful with any advice you might need. Would definitely stay there again.
576243,2630524,2012-10-16,3340481,Vika,"Cindy was a great host! She made us feel very comfortable. The place is adorable and really comfy, the kitchen was all equipped and ready to be used if we should needed it, the deco and linen was all very well taken care of and the screened-in porch was a great place to rest after a long day! Mornings there where so relaxing. Also the location is very convenient, just 5 min away from the 6th street by car.
We definitely would like to stay there again next year!

"
576243,2662267,2012-10-20,682574,Haley,Cindy's place in Austin was just as it looked in the pictures....cute and quaint. A great space for the price! The dogs were a little bit noisy (I guess we didn't even realize she had dogs) when we first got there but they quieted down after we settled in. Cindy was great! She sent us an email with a plethora of things to do near the house and even left us coffee (which is definitely the way to my husband's heart :))! 
576243,2700180,2012-10-24,1908973,Thomas,"Odd to feel so much careful Texas hospitality from someone I never met.  The apartment is private enough that i never met Cindy but her careful touches were everywhere from a kitchen stocked with staples (coffee, good beer, fruit, cereal, Greek yogurt etc) to intriguing art books and decorations throughout.  The antithesis of the soul-less chain hotel.  One star left off as electric gate to private parking was not working and no blinds on bedroom windows - all of which I assume will be fixed by the time you read this.  Thanks Cindy, whoever you are - you rock! "
576243,2769939,2012-10-31,804755,Anne,"Great space for you to stay. Very Austin and close to neat places to eat. We were there for a wedding so we didn't have a lot of time to actually enjoy the porch. We had my 2 year old with us and I was worried that Cindy would be bothered by the noise, but everything seemed fine. A big comfy king bed, anything you could think of in the kitchen, and overall a great stay. We would stay here again!"
576243,2823227,2012-11-07,3335868,Kristen,"I loved this place.  Near downtown Austin / E 6th st.  Great apartment, even though I got attacked mercilessly by a mosquito.  

Next time I'm in Austin, I will try to rent this place again!"
576243,2875134,2012-11-13,3521718,Samantha,The apartment was fantastic. It was in the perfect location & I could get around Austin with no problems. Cindy was a great hostess and I felt very comfortable and welcome. Thanks again!
576243,2925651,2012-11-20,2884019,Kevin,"We stayed with Cindy for the Formula One Grand Prix in Austin. Hotel prices were skyrocketing and airbnb reservations were scarce and expensive. We found Cindy's place and it was perfect. 

Cindy's place was bright, modern and spotless. She even had a few little snacks in the fridge to greet us after a long day of travelling. There were guidebooks and Austin alt-indie papers to plan events for our down time
The place is near a few major bus lines, a couple of good restaurants and CVS for odds and ends. It's close to Franklin BBQ and the highway as well.

From booking to check-in to check-out Cindy was awesome. We all had a great time in Austin and I would give Cindy 6 stars if I could."
576243,2980841,2012-11-27,1889637,John,"Cindy's house was a cozy quiet peaceful pad! The whole place was very clean, the kitchen is large and stocked with everything you might need, including the awesome coffee I enjoyed each morning on the wonderful sunny porch.Thanks Cindy, I will be back!"
576243,2998309,2012-11-30,2283478,Colleen,"I loved my stay here. Cindy was a perfect host and the space was ideal. The kitchen is well-equipped, the bed super comfortable, and bathroom spotless. Bonus features included the screened-in porch and free laundry facilities. 

I have friends in Austin, and comfortably hosted five of them for dinner. They were impressed with the suite, and noted that it is located in an up-and-coming area of Austin. I had a great brunch at a nice cafe, Hillside Farmacy, just a five-minute walk away. Funky East 6th is only a 15-minute walk away. "
576243,3017368,2012-12-03,3180831,Marina,"Cindy's place was great, decorated well, and had an awesome homey yet organized vibe to it. Kitchen was stocked with cooking utensils if you had those sorts of inclinations, we were too stuffed from the amazing food in Austin to cook though.

Having access to the bikes was great. 

Thanks for having us!"
576243,3096557,2012-12-16,1034643,Mike,"Cindy's place was the best - great central location, fantastically clean, and extremely comfortable.  The gated parking was a true luxury.  Thanks Cindy, we'll be back!"
576243,3136568,2012-12-22,1486049,Ashley,"We had such a lovely time staying at Cindy's place in Austin. Cindy was so very nice, friendly, and helpful. We would definitely stay in this charming guest house again next time we are in Austin.

"
576243,3155654,2012-12-25,4403279,Wendolyn,"I LOVE Cindy's place and hope to make it my home-away-from home when I visit Austin.  It has a big and well-stocked kitchen.  The other rooms (living room, bedroom and bathroom) are great.  This apartment will appeal to people like me who like restored older homes with warmth and character.  It has a large screened-in porch - great to eat breakfast out there or have a glass of wine.  Parking is secure too.  You just need to make sure you go in the right entrance (facing the church).  She has dogs and they are nice.  All told - I like this place and will schedule another visit."
576243,3240389,2013-01-03,2100360,Megan,"Cindy's place was wonderful! The location was perfect and the accommodations were lovely. The apartment was decorated beautifully and was quite comfortable--especially the big comfy bed and the gorgeous kitchen. Cindy provided all the comforts of home and was never more than a text message away. I have already recommended this spot to friends.
"
576243,3414695,2013-01-26,1112357,Karen,"Lovely, extremely comfortable apt. Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to east 6th. Bed was deliciously comfortable. Kitchen well-appointed & spacious. My only regret is not having had time to take out the bikes."
576243,3474094,2013-02-04,2100995,Christine,"Cindy's place was truly fantastic--location, decor, amenities, and incredibly comfortable bed. The kitchen was well-stocked and easy to use, the place is quite charming with a great patio space, and Cindy was very nice, attentive, and quick to reply and offer help.  We will no doubt return and look forward to it as well!"
576243,3500340,2013-02-08,962515,Sarah,"airy, open and quiet wrapped in the most perfect porch.  i cooked and read and never wanted to leave the house. cindy is a cool cat. i look forward to seeing her again upon my next stay, which i am already looking forward to. thanks cindy:) "
576243,3512047,2013-02-11,3003167,Sarah,"Great place, great neighborhood, wonderful trip. Cindy was attentive, helpful, flexible and super cool. The house was charming, clean and located in a neighborhood full of great bars and restaurants. Can't recommend this stay enough, thanks for the great time Cindy!"
576243,3579925,2013-02-19,4161301,Jillian,"This was my first airbnb experience and I am sold! Cindy's suite in Austin is nicer than my own apartment, and she was/is a wonderful host. I stayed in the suite with 3 girlfriends, who were amazed at the find: this airbnb is in a great location (walking distance to lots of bars and restaurants), has a full kitchen, awesome water pressure and tons of charm and clean linens. Seriously, one of my friends cleans houses and not only did she highly approved of Cindy's suite, but she kept huffing the sheets and towels because they were so ""Gain fresh."" Cindy was perfectly helpful, making herself available when needed but leaving us to our own devices. I would HIGHLY recommend this suite to anyone, and hope to stay again soon!"
576243,3614906,2013-02-26,1468872,Krystyna,"Cindy made staying in Austin a real joy without worries.  Her place is impressively convenient with any amenity you can imagine and some you would never have thought of.  There were four of us and there was plenty of room for us all.  We were able to see all we had planned and return to a lovely period spot with the marks of traditional Austin.  We made good use of the refrigerator and teapot.  So thank you, Cindy, and if I'm Austin-bound again, I hope you'll let me stay in your ""real Austin""."
576243,3658862,2013-03-01,3704724,Randi,This was our first visit to Austin and Cindy's place worked out great for our family of four to stay in. Short walk (25 min) to the 'fun' part of 6th street. The area was quiet and the appartment was cosy and clean. Cindy was easy to get in contact with and responded quickly. We would stay here again!
576243,3861239,2013-03-22,4996687,Scott,"My brother, sister and I met in Austin for a reunion and a Yes concert at Austin City Limits. None of us had ever been to Austin. What a great city and a wonderful place to stay. The concert and the venue were awesome. Be sure to check out the great bike and hike trails on the river. The music in the clubs at night rocked. There is rock, jazz, blues, country, just about anything you want. Cindy was great. Everything in the apartment was in order and our stay was very comfortable. Love the screened porch and the comfy couch and king size bed.I met the dogs when I arrived but didn't really hear much from them again. If we come back we will for sure stay with Cindy again. Thanks for the hospitality!"
576243,3885726,2013-03-25,4538381,Chris,We had a great stay.  We had 7 people in the apartment so it was tight but comfortable.  The bed in the bedroom is a king so we were able to have 3 people sleep there and then 2 each on the futon and mattress.  Cindy was very easy to work with and responded to any questions I had quickly.  
576243,3958039,2013-03-31,4628800,Jenn,"The apartment/suite was perfect for us (3 total)--it was close enough to use the bus or walk into downtown and biking down to the river was great.  We had everything we needed, and being in such a lovely neighborhood it was easy to imagine never leaving! Highly recommend."
576243,4040306,2013-04-05,4595507,Kelsey,Cindy's place was perfect for the three of us.  The location meant we were able to walk to anything we could want.  The porch was wonderful for morning coffee and evening drinks.  Cindy was easily reachable for any questions we had.  I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Austin.
576243,4118254,2013-04-11,5420299,David,"We spent a couple of days at Cindy's place at the start of our trip, and we couldn't have been happier about the place. Everything was spotless clean, and fully equipped for our needs. Really nice house too!
And she's really friendly and helpful too!
The posibiltiy of using the bikes was a big plus too, as well as the location, only a short walk to downtown.
Definately recommended!"
576243,4156523,2013-04-15,3199001,Katie,"Staying at Cindy's place was great! It's a perfect location for exploring the hip East side of Austin, and is about a 15 minute walk to all the good stuff in downtown and on 6th street. There's no shortage of things to do in the immediate area though, and its proximity to Franklin BBQ (about 5 minutes away, go early and get in line!) is a plus. Cindy was a great host, and was always available if we had questions. The one small issue was the bikes. There are technically 5 bikes, but only 3 of them are functional. With a group of 4 people, we had to abandon plans to bike around but for a smaller group it wouldn't be a problem. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay for our first time in Austin!"
576243,4202519,2013-04-18,4180583,Rachael,"We LOVED Cindy's place! Beautiful decor, spotlessly clean, fully equipped with everything for a great stay and in a fantastic location close enough to everything but also nice and quiet.

We had a wonderful time using her bikes to zoom up and down to the river and downtown - what a great addition to a brilliant Air BnB!

We didn't meet Cindy but she was incredibly helpful and great for communication in the run-up to our stay.

Can't wait to come back to Austin and will be recommending this spot to any friends who visit the city - thank you!"
576243,4525188,2013-05-10,6044370,Jenny,"We all had a great time staying at Cindy's beautiful old house. We only contacted Cindy very last minute and she responded immediately. It's the perfect place to stay in Austin if you want to be somewhere quiet but within walking distance to the centre. It's in a lovely neighborhood of old houses and everyone we met just walking around the streets were all really friendly. Cindy was a great host and left lots of useful things in the fridge, and tea and coffee, and toiletries including sunscreen. The house is really spacious with lovely high ceilings, the biggest bed in the world, and a great kitchen. We really didn't want to leave! Thanks again Cindy!   "
576243,4541472,2013-05-11,6264075,Lorenzo,"Very nice stay! we will come back, thanks Cindy."
576243,4622571,2013-05-16,5333874,Heather,"We had a pretty long flight coming into Austin so getting out of the cab and walking into Cindy's sweet, bright, airy apartment was such a relief.  We didn't rent a car so the location was perfect!  Most places we wanted to go where easily walkable and the neighborhood was so pleasant and quiet.  (well except for those crazy Grackle birds!)  This was our first airbnb and I have nothing but great things to say about our experience.  I would recommend Cindy's place to anyone and everyone.  "
576243,4673746,2013-05-20,4894976,Gale,"good location, quiet and really liked the porch."
576243,4732527,2013-05-22,4524203,Carine,"This was a great place. Gorgeous high ceilings and on stilts (i think) --my good  friend informs me this is how houses used to be built to minimize the effects of heat. Anyway I was surprised and impressed by how high the ceilings were. Full of character, walking distance to a great wine store, delicious restaurants, and a fun screened in porch. The place is beautifully decorated--there have been really cool updates since some of the posted pictures like a great metal table and different closet coverings. Tons of amenities to make you feel at home. Cindy is on top of everything--you couldn't ask for anyone nicer or more attentive to detail. The place is sparkling clean. We wanted to stay the whole time but Cindy was pretty booked up--I'm so glad we were able to stay a couple of nights! "
576243,4784591,2013-05-26,4037226,Alison,Cindy was a great host! The apartment was everything we were looking for and she was available to answer any and all questions.  She even gave us dinner recommendations!  We would certainly stay with Cindy again if we are ever in Austin again.  
576243,4961176,2013-06-04,5242621,Isabelle,"Cindy's place was fantastic, my friends and I stayed there for 5 nights during the Chaos in Tejas festival and we all agreed how nice it was to have our own little house! The house is super duper clean and tidy like a hotel room, the bed was HUGE and comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing to come home to after long hot days in the Austin sun. Cindy herself was very kind and helpful and very much the perfect host. I would recommend Cindy's house for anyone who wants their own private place close to the heart of Austin. "
576243,5038674,2013-06-09,6278136,Amber,Cindy's home was adorable and contained everything anyone would ever need for a great home away from home experience!  Cindy was helpful and prompt in helping us with everything that we needed.  We will definitely come back to stay here :)...thanks Cindy.
576243,5057556,2013-06-10,2396426,Chelsea,"Communication with Cindy was smooth and clear! Her location was absolutely adorable and close to everything. We didn't stay long, but I would definitely stay there again if I got the chance! It is a perfect location for 6 people if you have 2 willing to sleep on a mattress on the floor. It was perfect for what we were looking for! Thanks, Cindy!"
576243,5332225,2013-06-24,104875,Jessica,"My best experience with Airbnb yet!  Cindy's 1 bedroom house is very well maintained and decorated.  The house has everything you need including drinkware/glassware, bowls and jars. The ceiling is high in the house so it gives it a very open feel.  The bed is very comfortable and the futon is comfy too - the option for the 3rd futon/mattress/bed would be a better alternative than the floor, but I brought an air mattress just in case and am glad I did. On a hot day walking into the cold house feels great! Overall great place to stay.  I have several friends that live overseas and out of the state and will highly recommend your comfortable abode. A+ Thank you Cindy!"
576243,5411658,2013-06-29,676097,Jeremy,"Great stay - 6 guests fit cozily but comfortably sharing two futons in the living room. beautiful, well-stocked kitchen. Great location."
576243,5452590,2013-07-01,3794210,Nicole,My stay at Cindy's house was excellent! Her place is very clean and quaint! I stayed there with my parents and boyfriend totaling 4 of us and she had everything we needed to feel comfortable! The bathroom had several perfect amenities and her closets were perfectly stocked with pillows and linens. Cindy made sure that we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay and made us feel right at home!
576243,5726795,2013-07-14,4901801,Zachary,"Cindy was so helpful with everything.  This was my first experience ever using AirBnB and it couldn't have gone smoother.  She helped us out anyway she could.  If I ever went to Austin again, I'd be sure to check her place first.

Thanks so much Cindy for everything!"
576243,5821849,2013-07-18,3927590,Katherine,"4 of us stayed here during a short visit to Austin. We really enjoyed the apartment. The beds were comfortable, air conditioning meant we slept well and the shower was perfect! 
The place is a short walk to some great food vans and restaurants and we also took advantage of the buses that were close by.
Would definitely stay here again!
"
576243,6082365,2013-07-29,7337514,Mark,"It was comfortable, homey and quiet.  It felt like staying at your Grandmother's place.  We would definitely stay here again. "
576243,6232552,2013-08-04,1714101,Sara,"I hosted a workshop for ten of my interns, two of which stayed in the Central East Austin Suite. The students absolutely loved the quirky decor and and Cindy's welcoming vibe as soon as they arrived. The location is close to eclectic bars on the East side. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for what Austin is all about. "
576243,6307769,2013-08-07,7304794,Lisa,"Cindy was so accommodating and very pleasant to work with. Her home was clean, cool and comfortable. We would stay again in a minute. Thanks for the opportunity to relax and recharge after a very warm few days visiting Austin."
576243,6410357,2013-08-11,7941952,Shey,"Nice, clean spacious place. Perfect location near to east side restaurants, bars, and food trucks."
576243,6506882,2013-08-15,6289960,Robin,"Cindy was very welcoming and told me all of the cool local places to go. East Austin is really nice and quirky, and an easy 25 minute walk to the convention center with a lot of awesome food trucks along the way. The bikes were a nice added feature in case you wanted to go swimming in Barton Creek but were too tired to run the whole way. All in all, a very nice house and host!"
576243,6815313,2013-08-26,242681,Dan,"Great spot to stay in Austin.   

Big unit, high ceilings, comfortably designed.  Cindy has gone the extra mile by putting out any essentials you may have forgotten - sunglasses, umbrella, toothpaste, etc.   Since there was no one staying the day after us, we were even allowed to stay a bit past checkout.  Without these extra touches, the place would have still been great, but with them, the place is top notch! 

We made full use of the bikes (after making a few sizing adjustments and pumping the tires) as the best way to get around Austin.  

We would definitely stay here again."
576243,7521298,2013-09-23,4717587,Jim,"Everything was great overall!  It was easy getting in and out, the unit was very nice inside, and it was great to have bikes to ride around.  While just a short bike ride from downtown, we really loved the location which provided access to a few other areas nearby as opposed to just downtown.  Would stay again if back in town!"
576243,7688423,2013-09-30,5454536,Tennille,"We really enjoyed our stay at this little house. It was clean, full stocked with towels, bedding and kitchen needs. We were close enough to downtown that we didn't have to travel far to site-see. "
576243,7912257,2013-10-08,6059330,Ben,"Cindy was an awesome host, she left us scones and muffins as well as cereals for breakfast. It was really nice having a fully equipped kitchen (even had a garlic press when we made guacamole!) The space was very nice with a TV and DVD player with a pretty good movie selection. I would highly recommend staying here and am planning on making this my default stop when I'm in Austin again if it's available."
576243,8108910,2013-10-16,2830857,Thea,"Cindy's place was clean, roomy, had a well stocked kitchen and was perfectly located for exploring many parts of Austin. All four of us would stay there again if we were in town for a festival or for fun. 

The wifi was really spotty though, so I wouldn't recommend counting on it if you need to do work while staying there. 

One bone to pick though: we were really interested in the suite because it came with bikes. We thought that would save us money, time and hassle. We dide use the bikes to explore town and ride to and from the festival, but they are in terrible shape. My bike blew a tube (it happens), but when replacing it, the tech noticed that it had broken spokes (dangerous). The other  bikes had worn out brakes, loose handlebars, and worst of all, the hand grips on the bike my boyfriend was riding slipped off while he was going downhill in the rain causing him to wipe out and sprain his ankle. Put a damper on our vacation to be sure. If you plan on using the bikes, I would recommend inquiring about whether or not they've had a recent tune or just go rent your own. "
576243,8213041,2013-10-21,2717434,Graham,"This was our very first Airbnb experience - so my girlfriend and I wen't into this with some initial hesitation. But I'm happy to report that we couldn't have asked for anything better going with Cindy's place! It was fantastic! A charming space with every amenity you could ask for, great location close to downtown, and the BIKES (huge plus getting around).

If you plan on coming to Austin (and you should!) definitely go with Cindy. It will only make your trip better."
576243,8524517,2013-11-04,8953676,Tyler,"We had a group of five of us stay there, and we had a great time. Plenty of space for all of us to sleep. The house was in a perfect location for us - far enough away from stuff to have a little privacy when we needed it, but close enough to downtown/campus to be able to easily walk there (15-20 min).

The house was very well prepared for us, and Cindy did a great job in accommodating us with whatever else we needed during our stay. If I'm ever in Austin again, I will make sure to stay at Cindy's again!"
576243,8684168,2013-11-12,5754648,Ashley,"Cindys place was fantastic. Great location. Great suite. And Cindy is super friendly and helpful. Highly recommended! We will be back, even just to sit on her beautiful porch!"
576243,8762932,2013-11-16,9969259,Richard,"This was a last-minute quick overnight trip to Austin that fell on a UT home game weekend. Rooms were scarce! Cindy could not have been more helpful or informative or kind to let us stay only one night before she had weekend renters coming the next day. The place was spacious, clean and well appointed. Wish we could have stayed longer."
576243,8786512,2013-11-18,9358160,Bryan,Cindy's place was very accommodating - great proximity to downtown and the football stadium and very easy to get in and out.  We had no issues or problems and would definitely stay at Cindy's again.
576243,8863318,2013-11-22,8925037,Matti,Gorgeous place in a great neighbourhood. Made use of the bikes and all the great facilities. Would love to go back.
576243,9000220,2013-12-01,9668930,Charles,"We loved staying here.  It was quiet, well stocked and convenient to our destinations in Austin.  The furnishing were Austin eclectic and comfy.  We were especially pleased to walk into the kitchen and see the French Press.  We are looking forward to our next visit to Austin and the Cotton Street Suite."
576243,9128082,2013-12-09,1320304,Craig,"Cindy's apartment was great. Well equipped to sleep 6 or 7 comfortable (assuming you don't mind sharing beds/futons) with lots of bedding and pillows. The kitchen was full stocked with anything cooking equipment you would need to cook or order in (we made both breakfast and dinner). 

Cindy was a very helpful host and provided very detailed information on our stay. 

The location was relatively convenient, though I would highly recommend a rental car to get downtown. Lastly, anyone allergic to dogs might want to take note of the red futon in the living room, which had me pretty sneezy all weekend. I am guessing the dogs spend a lot of time there normally, though were kept in the main at house at my request this weekend. 

Thanks Cindy!"
576243,9266820,2013-12-17,7809827,Jenna,"Cindy's apartment is lovely!  We stayed as a group of 4 and were very comfortable.  It is essentially three different rooms and gave us enough space to relax and hang out.  The beds were comfy and the kitchen was stocked with all the basics (my friends and I especially appreciated the delicious coffee).  Cindy was prompt and available in responding to all of our questions before the trip and was very friendly upon our arrival.  

One member of our party is a little shy of dogs and this was not a problem.  The dogs are in another section of the home separated by locked doors so we did not cross paths.  "
576243,9605731,2014-01-03,6287625,Dan,"Cindy's place was perfect.  Spacious, clean, etc...  Very close to East 6th and great bars and restaurants.  Using her bikes to get around was a great perk.
"
576243,9829265,2014-01-13,1214197,Scott,"Nice place, really spacious, great location.  Cindy gave us al the info we needed.  We'll be getting back in touch next time we're heading to Austin."
576243,9955654,2014-01-21,2100995,Christine,"This was our second stay at Cindy's place and once again it was absolutely lovely. There is beautiful light throughout (especially at the big table in the kitchen) and it is very quiet. We were here for a half marathon, so it was very nice to have a bathtub, comfortable bed, and plenty of quiet since we had to be asleep early. A great place to stay and we will certainly be back again! "
576243,10226489,2014-02-07,47024,Ron,"Cindy is a very friendly, down to earth host. Her place is comfortable with a lot of character. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a more local Austin experience. "
576243,10363549,2014-02-16,6649582,Gidi,"A great place in Austin -- the coolest city in North America.
The place is very nice, great location near many good restaurants and bars, walking distance from downtown (I came to Austin for a conference at the convention center). Cindy was very kind and helpful, highly recommended!"
576243,10540324,2014-02-24,11612044,Ally,"Cindy's suite is very nice and homey. The location was great, short cab ride to downtown, and so nice that she provides bikes- a couple of us rode around Austin and it was awesome. 
We were six people, so we were not as comfortable as if we'd been 4 or less. Cindy's place is perfect for a couple, or three people. After that it's definitely doable but everyone better be very comfortable with each other. Overall, nice place in a very quiet street (except for Sunday morning service at the church across the street). "
576243,10659008,2014-03-02,11387361,Katy,"Cindy's home was a great choice for our group and very convenient to all the things my friends and I wanted to see in Austin. We didn't get a chance to use the bikes because we were afraid we'd get caught in the rain, but if we go back, will definitely use them!! The space was comfortable and Cindy provided many things (milk in the 'fridge and tea in the cupboard; shampoo and soap in the shower) that were unexpected. She also has tour books of the area to read, in case you haven't done your homework. The laundry room was a godsend, and Cindy's dogs Cooper and Bella are the sweetest dogs, although they will bark before you meet them. "
576243,10726125,2014-03-04,7035538,Sam,"Cindy was incredibly hospitable, very responsive and kind - she has a cozy and hip guest suite with easy access to restaurants and the highway. A great space, with room to stretch out in and all the amenities you desire. She helped us through an uncharacteristic temperature drop so that we were nice and cool, along with warm and toasty when necessary. "
576243,10813695,2014-03-09,11065010,Jackie,"Cindy's place was a great place to stay - she was an awesome host. Everything we needed (and more!) was there for us: lots of towels, blankets, tons of toiletries (shower stuff, too), lots of snacks, beer and 5 (!!!) different kinds of milk for coffee upon our arrival, to name a few.

Loved that she let us use her bikes, too - wonderful way to get around the city and see the sites. Highly recommended. Thanks, Cindy!"
576243,10975187,2014-03-16,8778696,Amy,"Cindy's house was a lovely place to stay during our trip to Austin.  Comfortable and cosy, it comfortably slept 5 people and 6 would also have worked.  Great location and a great host! Would love to stay here again."
576243,11213869,2014-03-25,11019080,Ashley,"Cindy's suite was more than we expected. It was very nicely decorated, spacious (we had 4 guests), and clean. She supplied us with everything we needed: towels, soap, shampoo, extra toothpaste, etc. and left us some treats in the refrigerator. It was in a great location: a short walk from downtown and the east side. We had an amazing time in Austin and were grateful to have such a wonderful host!"
576243,11275213,2014-03-27,6206423,Alice,Cindy was very welcoming and the place was well equipped for guests. I recommend this listing/host highly!
576243,11311471,2014-03-29,1851317,Zeke,"Cindy is on her airbnb game. The house is easy access, convenient location, and has great amenities. You can tell she pays a lot of attention to detail when it comes to decorating and cleaning the place. It's very warm and inviting and most importantly smells really nice and clean. My friend and I walked to 6th street and around town pretty easily. Trust me when I say you would rather do this than try to park during peak hours, because it can easily take half an hour finding a spot if you don't know where to look. Overall, I would highly recommend Cindy's place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. "
576243,11440994,2014-04-02,13505521,Kristin,"We had a great stay here!  It was just two of us, for two nights, and there was more than enough space.  The place is well equipped, clean, quiet and really cutely decorated.  I especially loved the fenced in porch.  Location is pretty good too--just a short cab ride downtown, but also within walking distance of some nice shops and eateries.  It really gave you a feeling of what it would be like to live in Austin.  Overall, would definitely recommend!"
576243,11520831,2014-04-06,4718258,Jessica,this place was a perfect quiet get away in the heart of Austin!
576243,11585689,2014-04-08,6754251,Anna,"I loved this place! The space was adorable and cozy, perfect for our needs. The full size kitchen with all the amenities (and a few beers waiting in the fridge) was a wonderful asset for our stay...not that we cooked at all since there were so many amazingly yummy food spots close by that we had to try, but having it available if needed was nice. The location could not have been better - a quiet neighborhood, but there was tons of stuff within walking distance, and having the bikes for longer journeys was great too. I'd stay again in a heartbeat!"
576243,11704539,2014-04-12,13873509,Jason,"This was a perfect respite for two weary travelers, the place was exactly as advertised. Very clean and a nice, big space and good kitchen.  I liked the neighborhood and walking down to the QuickiePickie for morning snacks and coffee. Thank you Cindy, our stay was great!"
576243,11923969,2014-04-19,13144250,Tina,"Cindy ist eine tolle Gastgeberin wir hatten alles was 
wir benötigten vor Ort und mit den Fahrrädern konnten wir
die Stadt schnell erkunden. Der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit den
notwendigsten Dingen und die Küche zum Kochen ideal eingerichtet.
Wir hatten viel Spaß in der Wohnung und  Umgebung.
Vielen Dank für die tolle Unterkunft.

576243,12152173,2014-04-24,1513055,Amanda,"This was my first trip to Austin and staying at Cindy's place felt like home. The location was perfect - we could easily get anywhere we needed - and the neighborhood was quiet, there was always parking available and had plenty of amenities nearby. Cindy's suite was spacious, quiet and clean. 

Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Looking forward to visiting Austin and staying here again in the near future.

"
576243,12481765,2014-05-04,1791719,Tom,"This is a really excellent rental!  My wife and I stayed in Cindy's place for 9 nights.  It's really comfortable with a great bed, nice bathroom, excellent kitchen and living space.  Wifi was good and there's access to washer and dryer.  The screened terrace is a great place to sit with a glass of wine or a beer in the evening.  Cindy was really helpful and kind - she's a nice lady and an excellent host.  She had several bicycles available and we used 2 bikes of excellent quality most days.  They are a great way to get around Austin quickly - the city is very well suited for bikes.  We loved Austin!  It has lots to see and do.  Cindy's place is in an excellent location to base oneself to see the city.  We hope to be back sometime!"
576243,12716428,2014-05-09,13275822,Lisa,"Excellent accommodation for our stay in Austin!  Thank you Cindy for sharing your lovely place and its amazing porch.  It was the perfect place to relax in the evenings after spending the day cruising the city on the bikes you provide for your guests.  It really is the best way to see the city.  The apartment is super cozy, everyone in the group absolutely loved it.  It was the perfect location in Austin East-End with just a short distance to downtown and the capitol.  We really appreciated the many varieties of milk you provided for us.  I hope to be back the next time I visit Austin!"
576243,12960724,2014-05-15,857388,Melissa,"Cute, private, comfortable.  Cindy was available if we needed her!"
576243,13127968,2014-05-20,10513598,Marty,"Cindy was very good about giving us information about the locks, the heating/cooling system, where to find extra blankets and towels, etc.  The neighborhood was nice and quiet and not far from University campus, which is where we spent a good deal of our time. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to drive in."
576243,13281184,2014-05-24,10397132,Danny,"Cindy was extremely kind and helpful! The Cotton Street Suite is in a really fun and hip area with lots of stuff to see on 11th and Rosewood. Short walk to Downtown and East 6th. I highly recommend staying here - the place itself was clean, colorful, and comfortable. "
576243,13602195,2014-06-01,12706739,Erin,"Cindy's place was everything we could hope for! Lovely patio, spacious airy apartment, comfy bed. So many great things close by and made even more accessible by the bikes provided. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-situated place in a fabulous city."
576243,14060456,2014-06-10,16281982,Pearl,"This was my first experience with in Austin and it was AMAZING! The house is a historical landmark in a quaint little area surrounded by cute little boutiques and restaurants. The king size bed was massive, the kitchen adorable. Overall great experience. Definitely stay here! "
576243,14138543,2014-06-12,4358666,Adam & Elise,"We were only in Austin for one evening and Cindy's apartment was exactly what we were looking for: very clean, conveniently located close to East 6th st and in a quiet residential neighborhood. We wish we could have had more time to enjoy the beautiful patio space! "
576243,14619818,2014-06-23,1453170,Beth,"Cindy was an excellent host. The space is exactly as described on the site. The bikes were a great resource. They were great to have, but beware--Austin has some hills, which came as quite a surprise for two bikers used to the flat streets of Chicago. Not sure I would count on being able to bike as far on a future trip. Cindy was very helpful--provides general toiletries, and ample towels, and was happy to share a beach towel for us when we needed one. She also was very flexible on our departure time because there were no other guests coming in, which was really helpful. Would definitely rent here again."
576243,15048786,2014-07-01,15790251,Ashley,Great stay in a great city. The house was awesome and clean. Close to downtown. Cindy was great ... she was very helpful during our stay and let us borrow some beach towels. Thanks and A+++
576243,15513742,2014-07-10,7625256,Steve,Great place.  Just there one night for business but met all my needs and was a very pleasant neighborhood.  
576243,16465857,2014-07-28,2262219,Sergio,"We were in Cindy's house for a week and really felt at home. Comfort, warmth of some details, neighborhood and proximity to many interesting places, made our experience was very good. My family and I had a good trip and got to know Austin differently. Could sit and talk in the evenings on the porch was delicious. The house is very comfortable, clean and bright, located in a quiet area. Thank you very much, Cindy! "
576243,17197167,2014-08-09,415099,Andrew,"This is a fantastic location, very central and easy to find and a great house with all the amenities we needed. We really enjoyed staying here. 
Cindy was a great host supplying us with all sorts of assistance and out-of-the-ordinary groceries. "
576243,17518705,2014-08-13,2100995,Christine,"This was our third stay at the Cotton Street Suite and it was lovely as always. The neighborhood is fantastic, with so many great bars, restaurants, and things to do nearby. Downtown is close and it's an easy drive to other parts of Austin. Parking at the suite is easy and it has such great light in the morning. We will definitely be back!"
576243,18781974,2014-09-01,12719858,Barbara,"We loved Cindy's Airbnb! We think the information and pictures provided gave an accurate discription. It was cozy, homey and quaint. The bnb is located ideally, not far from the I-35 and Austin downtown. 
Communication with Cindy was clear and detailed.

The bed was comfortable and there was more then enough extra bedding and blankets. 
The bathroom had everyhing we needed, even a haidryer, shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and soap.
We didn't cook, but there's a full kichen.
We liked the fact that we could park safely behind a gate.
The dogs barked somewhat, but that's just dogs and it wasn't very annoying.

Sadly the keys to the locks on the bikes were missing, which caused some stress because we had to get to the football stadium. But Cindy gave us a lift in the end, which was much appreciated.

We would certainly recommend this bnb when visiting Austin or the greater Austin area!"
576243,19447666,2014-09-12,7243613,Alexander,"It was a great stay in Austin. The contact was super friendly and the appartment was perfectly located. Especially the nice kitchen and the bikes were great!
The location is perfect if you're looking for something quite but still close to the city center!
I can totally recommend this place and would definitely book again if I'm in Austin!!"
576243,19725037,2014-09-17,5120118,Miles,"Cindy's apartment was great! It was stocked with everything we could possibly need, and it was close to bars and restaurants.  "
576243,20015103,2014-09-22,3305501,Mandy,Cindy's suite was cute and close to everything we needed in East Austin for a recent wedding weekend at the French Legation Museum. She was a very hospitable host and went the extra mile in making sure the place was well-stocked for us. 
576243,20449763,2014-09-29,21058949,Beth,"We loved our stay in Austin and Cindy's home was the perfect base camp.  Everything was easy to get to and a lot of it was walkable.  We loved going down a couple of blocks for breakfast tacos at the Quickie Pickie.  The Micklethwait BBQ food truck came highly recommended and was 2 blocks away.  We got it to go and took it back to Cindy's cozy kitchen for dinner.  Perfect!  Other things we loved...Le Reyna Margaritas at Chupacabra's, the  vegan tacos at Takoba with our fabulous waiter Jorge,  Zilker Park, a beautiful night on the lawn of Threadgills listening to Jimmy LaFave, the 40 piece choir having their Annual Musical at a Methodist Church down the street from Cindy's, and of course, the Cotton Street Suite screened porch.  What a great getaway!"
576243,20847436,2014-10-06,12430765,Sandeep,Cindy did an amazing job of hosting us. The house is pretty close to Downtown and her listing couldn't be more accurate. She was very accommodating with respect to the number of people and made sure we were ok by checking with us pretty often. Would highly recommend her home for anyone with a huge group 
576243,21193840,2014-10-13,14131181,Michael Anne,Cindy was a very accommodating host during our stay for ACL. Her place is on the east side in a quiet neighborhood but still very accessible to downtown. It was enough space for four people and had a great front porch. Would definitely recommend to friends staying in Austin. 
576243,21426592,2014-10-17,21224394,Chris,Cindy was a wonderful host. Her place is exactly as described. We found it to be a great location to explore Austin. Definitely a great value compared to other options we looked at.
576243,21507996,2014-10-19,454078,Michael,Cindy was super hospitable and gave awesome and clear instructions. The house was great and in an awesome neighborhood. Would definitely recommend staying here. 
576243,21737582,2014-10-23,16278274,Yiwen,A very nice place that we definetely go again if we come back to Austin. 
576243,21937351,2014-10-27,15140099,Carly,"This was our first Airbnb experience and we LOVED it!
Cindy was super nice and welcoming and her place is adorable! East Austin is a great neighborhood- think of it as the Williamsburg of Austin :)
"
576243,22139568,2014-10-31,12303224,David,Nice place with good amount of space. Host was lovely and so were the dogs.
576243,22224894,2014-11-02,15746110,Cole,"Cindy was very friendly, and picked out great snacks & stuff for us. She let us drop off our luggage prior to our check in time since our flight got in early. Her dogs Cooper & Bella were very friendly too. The location was great, as we were able to walk or bike everywhere we wanted to go, including up & down 6th street. The house was clean & very well appointed & provided everything we needed. It was so much better than a hotel. Thanks Cindy for helping to make our Halloween & first time in Austin a great success!"
576243,22388939,2014-11-04,6003661,Sara,"Cindy's space is perfect! The house is clean and offers even more amenities than your average hotel. It was a wonderful place to stay, I felt at home and comfortable the whole time. This location is the best deal in this area, you are close to everything and getting around by foot is not impossible. I recommend this space to anyone who is considering."
576243,22449922,2014-11-06,13046686,Alice,Cindy was a great help while we stayed in Austin. Her place is really clean and had everything we needed! Really wish we could have stayed longer. After travelling and staying in hotels it was so refreshing to have space to stretch our legs and do washing!! Would definitely stay again.
576243,22500586,2014-11-08,22857189,Wendy,"I stayed here with my boyfriend and my sister and it was an awesome experience! We used Uber to get us to 6th Street and back and the total cost was less than $15. The location was great, the apartment was adorable, and the host was excellent with making us feel at home by providing all the necessary items such as linens and towels. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a place to stay at a reasonable price while taking in the Austin night life experience. "
576243,23164654,2014-11-24,22985564,Jessica,Great place and location.  Loved the screened in porch.  Quiet neighborhood and the house is very spacious.  Cindy was very welcoming and accommodating.  Highly recommended this rental for your next Austin trip!
576243,23325019,2014-11-29,17312273,Bryan,"My parents really enjoyed the stay. It is in a central location and convenient to get to. The room was very comfy, unassuming, and secluded from the rest of the house. The only minor problem was the dogs that made a fair amount of noise at night. Other than that it was a great stay. "
576243,23476025,2014-12-01,1416385,Chris,"Great location. The house was perfectly neat and clean, and Cindy was very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much."
576243,23866386,2014-12-13,18015066,Becca,"Cindy was a fantastic host! There might as well have not been anyone else there, as I never saw her. I also never saw her dogs, though they did bark occasionally, usually when they were outside and could hear us. She was quick to reply, though, answering any questions we had. The TV was out of order for our visit and she went as far as offering her own television to make sure we were pleased with the visit. We ended up not using a TV at all, but it was nice of her to even offer such a thing. She also offered to let us check out late to make up for the lack of TV, as there was no one staying the following day, and we ended up leaving early, but had been planning to use the extra time had our plans not changed. I should note that 8 of us were supposed to share the space and we ended up with an extra person last minute. I don't think we ended up with the futon that is provided when requested, but with the air mattresses and a couple of things brought along by some of the people staying, we all ended up with a comfortable spot. I don't know if a futon would have fit had we had it, so we didn't even ask. Everyone loved the place. It was beautiful, well stocked in the kitchen and bathroom, and while it was as small as Cindy warned us it would be, even with 9 people we managed to have enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves. Definitely a recommended stay."
576243,23987327,2014-12-15,4350326,Julie,The reservation was canceled 88 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
576243,24144967,2014-12-21,2013946,Thomas & Michelle,"We loved our stay at Cindy's Cotton Street Suite.  Location was ideal for us, and space was just as described, and very generous for the two of us.  Comfy bed and a nice sitting room between the bedroom and kitchen.  Great neighborhood, walking distance to a range of restaurants, shops and galleries.  We also able to walk down to the State Capitol Building and UT.  Cindy gave very clear and complete instructions well before our stay, and checking in and out was a breeze.
Can't wait to head back!"
576243,24286152,2014-12-24,12084902,Reese,"Great stay. Cindy provides a very nice environment from which to explore Austin. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable with just the right amount of ""home."" I'd definitely stay again. "
576243,24391744,2014-12-27,24920347,Yingying,Cindy made everything very clear for us and we had a pleasant stay. 
576243,24578109,2014-12-31,17474054,Robert,"Description was accurate, the area was great, and Cindy made us feel at home."
576243,24749668,2015-01-02,4760820,Katarina,"Cindy's place was perfect for our 3 days in Austin! It was comfy, clean, great location and Cindy was a great host. If we come to Austin again we will def try to stay here!"
576243,25028475,2015-01-05,22167648,Katelin,"The house was perfect! Great location, very cozy, and Cindy was wonderful! She was very accommodating and provided us with everything we needed for a fun weekend in Austin!"
576243,25270598,2015-01-11,5064826,Renata,"We were so happy with our stay at Cindy's. The apartment is completely self contained and she has thought of everything you'll need for a great stay (fully equipped kitchen,large,comfy bed,cable,heating etc).

We came to Austin during a particularly cold snap,and I also came down with a cold so it was so nice to have such a warm,very clean and cosy house to get some rest in.

The house is also in a great location, 10mins walk to Franklin and other East Austin restaurants (probably 5 mins).

Cindy herself was really cool,friendly and welcoming she gave us all the info we needed and then left us to it-which was great.

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone."
576243,25596620,2015-01-20,24401718,Deborah,"We stayed at Cindy's place for the first half of our trip because it was close to The White Horse and Stay Gold. Very close to downtown and SoCo were we like to hand out.  She had it stock with absolutely everything you could possibly need and more! Very cool place.  However, you have to like a very firm bed!"
576243,25647524,2015-01-21,10149143,Emily,Cindy was a great host. She responded promptly and answered all of my questions easily. Her place is great and incredibly clean and modern. Would absolutely stay here again!
576243,26377561,2015-02-10,3524193,Mark,"Like many of Cindy's guests, we wanted to stay in this apartment forever. It's a perfect spot from which to explore East Austin and downtown (on foot or by bike) and to relax when you need the rest. There was every type of milk in the refrigerator, great coffee and even (our favorite) decaffeinated tea.

We loved getting the chance to pat Bella and Cooper and enjoyed having them around the laundry when we went in there. Cindy is a lovely host and we would most definitely recommend her place for your stay in Austin."
576243,26585175,2015-02-16,20945658,Kara,"This place was awesome, can't go wrong with a huge porch and great little neighborhood. Cindy was a gracious host, giving us tips for local grocery stops and even provided an empty growler to fill at the local beer / wine shop. The bikes were an amazing perk as well, much appreciated."
576243,27042478,2015-02-24,2984509,Doug,"Why stay in a sterile hotel when you can have the true Austin experience in the Cotton Street Suite? From the screened-in porch to the spacious rooms and well-stocked kitchen to the neighborhood with awesome eateries (and ten minutes to downtown!), this place was everything we wanted in our trip to Austin. Cindy is a gracious host and we would definitely stay at her place again if we're lucky enough to get to visit Austin in the future."
576243,27164675,2015-02-27,26155266,Faith,"Great space - warm, lots of light, well appointed with amenities - and conveniently located. Cindy was helpful and responsive at all stages. "
576243,27495500,2015-03-06,189846,Julia,Everything worked out great at Cindy's place. She was quick to answer all my questions and house directions were clear. The suite is cute and very clean. It's close enough to downtown (I took an Uber to the convention center) and only a few blocks from some restaurants and shops.
576243,27535124,2015-03-07,26360684,Kim,"We loved everything about our stay at Cindy's!! She was very responsive to messages prior to our stay, and gave us clear instructions on all of the check-in procedures.  The apartment itself was so cute and clean, and she had everything we could have needed, from dishes, reusable grocery bags, travel size toiletries, and tons of clean linen and towels.  We only had 3 people, but a larger group would still be very comfortable here. The location was also perfect and only a cheap uber ride from bars and entertainment (although she did have bikes, which we would have taken advantage of had we not been bar hopping). I can't recommend this place enough--we wish we could have stayed longer! "
576243,27673035,2015-03-09,14810610,Ricky,"Great place to stay in East Austin. Cindy was responsive leading up to the visit. Just as described in her listing, nice private addition to the house and her dogs are friendly if you're a dog person!"
576243,27831944,2015-03-13,23143766,Ryan & Diana," Cindy's Cotton Street Suite is the cream of the crop, the best spot in East Austin -maybe the best Airbnb in all TX! Cindy was respectful and welcoming. The suite had seemingly every area of concern covered and provided for a relaxing and private stay, the week prior to SXSW. The neighborhood was very safe. The wireless internet and home amenities were convenient and fast.  The suite's location was the perfect distance for biking to downtown and surrounding destinations. Cindy's two wonderful and friendly dogs were a non-issue to the suite stay -we only met them once while they were on  a walk with Cindy; otherwise, they were completely invisible to the privacy of the suite. This suite is a must visit for any airbnbers staying in ATX!"
576243,28379102,2015-03-23,5263569,Guilhem,"Cindy was a perfect host, caring and helpful. 
The house is perfectly located, in a quiet and nice area in East Austin, it's clean and well decorated. 
I would mostly recommand to go to her place for your journey in Austin !"
576243,28571456,2015-03-26,10923098,Paige,Amazing.
576243,28777808,2015-03-30,15531748,Martin,Very kind and helpful!
576243,29279820,2015-04-06,27614504,Jody,Great place. Very well appointed and gracious host. Will definitely recommend to friends and family
576243,29601735,2015-04-10,9078154,Cindy,"Our family (email hidden)r 5 days and 4 nights. We were very pleased with the location being close to the city. The home is clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We would (email hidden)ain."
576243,29722810,2015-04-12,11374161,Mario,"Cindy's residence was an awesome place to stay at. Everything was as is in the description. The place was very accommodating and Cindy was very helpful if you needed anything. It was very clean and everything in the house was taken care of. I loved the gated parking and the screened porch. It was very nice to have a cup of coffee and relax in the morning.  It's in a great location that is nice and quiet. The location is also very ideal, as you are very close to many restaurants on the east side and of course down the street from downtown. I'd highly recommend choosing this  residence to stay in."
576243,30072705,2015-04-17,27971901,Andrea,"Great place to stay! We had a conference at the convention center. If you have to work downtown, Cindy's place is CONVENIENT. There are many restaurants nearby. It was so nice to come back to a home everyday. Crossing my fingers Cindy's place will be available next time  we come into town. Our Austin buddies came by to go out and they said they would refer her home, too!"
576243,30543450,2015-04-24,3800039,Lucinda,"The apartment included thoughtful amenities such as sunglasses, coffee, raincoats, etc.  It was clean and in a quiet neighborhood, and a quick easy drive, or bike ride to downtown Austin.  Charming old house with a lovely screened porch."
576243,30688598,2015-04-26,25264909,Albertien,"Our stay was perfect. Cindy is a great host! She had a lot suggestions for our weekend which made our stay a very nice experience. The house was spacious enough for the four of us and the bed and mattress provided us a good night sleep. The kitchen is very well equipped, so perfect to prepare some breakfast."
576243,31335126,2015-05-04,30234539,Joern,perfect host. the apartment has everything you need and makes you immediately feel at home. nice part of town as well
576243,31871287,2015-05-11,2512681,Ben,"Cindy was a terrific host.  She was easy to communicate with and her instructions were very detailed and clear.  The house itself is beautiful with a lot of character and we were very comfortable there.  She had everything we needed - comfortable bed, comfy futon, very clean usable bathroom, and a full kitchen with anything we needed.  The screened in porch was also nice with all the bugs due to recent rains.  The neighborhood is so charming with more laid back east side spots nearby; but it's also only a 25-40 walk into town depending on where you're going.  Overall, just a great house in a great neighborhood with a great host."
576243,32111735,2015-05-14,4967540,Gill,"The weather was not too great when we were in Austin, so Cindy's place was the perfect place to kick back and relax. The tea and coffee she had provided were very welcome! 

Everything you could possibly wish for in an airbnb place was provided.  
The main bedroom has a massive comfy king size bed.  And the sofa bed in the living room was also very comfortable. 
The bathroom is very modern and has a great shower. 

We only interacted with Cindy once, but she was on hand to help us if needs be throughout our short 2 day stay.  Sadly, we didn't get to meet the dogs, as they must have been out when we were in. 

The place itself is in a residential area about a half hour walk from downtown Austin. We had no problem in getting taxis when we needed them. 

All in all, it was a great airbnb experience and a lovely place!  Would definitely recommend wholeheartedly."
576243,32464430,2015-05-18,21836070,Sara,"Our stay in East Austin was awesome! Cindy's place was really perfect for the weekend. The apt was convenient, clean and had everything we needed. Cindy was very responsive to our questions and was a great host. She also had so many suggestions on good places to eat and drink in the neighborhood. I would definitely stay here if/when I come back to Austin. Thanks Cindy!"
576243,33225621,2015-05-26,5804996,Emmanuel,"Cindy made it easy for us to check in seamlessly. She provided coffee and milk. Her kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need. Her description does not do the place justice, it was very spacious and comfortable for the two of us. Her house is located on a beautiful quiet tree-lined street, we didn't even feel the need to use her enclosed car park. Very central and close to everything. On our last day, she told us we could check out as late as we wanted. Loved our stay there!"
576243,33892365,2015-06-02,15872252,Kathy,"Cindy was great at making us feel welcome. She cleaned up, allowed us to come a little bit early and really put a lot of thought into having all the things we'd need to be comfortable and cared for. She even went to get us soy milk and raw sugar, so our coffee and tea could be how we like it. I loved the location and how the space worked for 3 friends to stay in one place. Nice kitchen, comfortable king bed and great couch that folds down into a firm, well supported (not saggy) bed. I'd definitely go back to this Airbnb if I go to Austin again!"
576243,34406064,2015-06-08,25015254,Kristal,"Cindy made us feel totally at home right from the moment we stepped through the door. My friend and I each had ample private space and we were thrilled that the kitchen was stocked with coffee/tea/milk etc. as well as the bathroom being equipped with thoughtful little touches like shampoo and toothpaste. Cindy was also very accommodating in allowing us to check out a bit later due to our late in the day departure time.
The apartment is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood about a 20-30 minute walk from the downtown area which we made every, single day and enjoyed thanks to the food trucks (Sister Coffee and vegan soul food!!) and fun little businesses in the area. Taking a cab home late at night was also really simple - quick and a less than a $10 ride.
We were so pleased with our trip and this rental was a large part of the reason!"
576243,34734333,2015-06-11,6321630,Sophie,"We loved staying in Cindy's home. It had everything we needed for two days in Austin, including bikes that helped us get around town. The home was clean  and comfortable and located in a great neighbourhood. "
576243,34901473,2015-06-13,20987170,Hannah,"Cindy is a wonderful host. She is thorough with detail before arriving, and the space far exceeded our expectations in being awesome. It was absolutely charming with special touches like lotion, toothpaste, and other products in the bathroom. The kitchen is LOVELY. We were so grateful for the coffee for morning porch-sitting time, as the porch is homey and enclosed. We would stay again, and we have already recommended it to family and friends."
576243,35202113,2015-06-16,527963,Kevin,"My wife and I spent the weekend a Cindy's place and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. The check-in process was smooth and we actually meet Cindy whenever we arrived, she was very friendly and welcoming. The location of this property is fantastic!!! You are close to downtown and all of the action, but you're just on the other side of I-35 so you don't have to deal with all of the hustle and bustle. The world's famous Franklin's Barbecue is just around the corner, so you can't beat that. The place is very well kept, clean, and organized. There is a private driveway to park in, gated, which was very convenient for us. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future if we come back to Austin. You can't beat the price for the location."
576243,35513609,2015-06-19,17300854,Edward,"Beautiful house, perfect location walkable to a number of cool areas of town, exactly as described, very well kitted out with towels, toiletries etc. "
576243,36833313,2015-07-01,32133074,Josefine,Cindy var en väldigt bra värd! Hon gav bra och tydlig information och boendet och området var bättre än vad vi hade tänkt oss! Hon var mycket hjälpsam då en av våra väskor försvann på flygplatsen!
576243,37137859,2015-07-05,28991011,Robert,Cindy was very nice and helpful.
576243,38140985,2015-07-13,4611054,David,"This accommodation is in a wonderful neighborhood; absolutely convenient to anywhere in the city. It's next to I-35 access, though not so close you can hear it.

Cindy was a great communicator. She returned our messages promptly.

The place itself is a cute apartment attached to the main house -- tastefully furnished, comfortable bed, great screened-in porch, and a fully supplied kitchen."
576243,39053989,2015-07-20,4102196,Alex,"A great host and a perfect location.  The apartment was spacious with a beautiful kitchen and comfortably slept our group of three.  Also, one of the best values I've seen on the airbnb listings for Austin .  Highly recommended.

576243,40711957,2015-08-02,28699817,Bethan,"The flat was exactly as described. Cindy had previously sent me lots of information which was a great way to start my trip.

The flat was really well equipt, with shampoo, shower gel etc and a hair dryer (perfect when your UK one doesn't give much power due to plug wattage). coffee and milk were also provided. Lots of towels, sheets etc.

The bed was HUGE! We slept three in there rather than pulling out the futon!

The location was a $10 dollar taxi ride into the main action and taxis were easy to get.

Highly recommend this place- thanks Cindy."
576243,41498998,2015-08-07,8647582,James,"Great place, very clean and tidy. Location is amazing if you want the best Bbq in the USA, be prepared to be up early if you want such fare."
576243,41917583,2015-08-10,27429950,Ben,"We had an excellent stay at Cindy's home, and would very likely book again if we returned to the area. Had everything we hoped it would. Plenty of space and kept at a nice temperature. House is just a 20 minute walk to downtown as well! "
576243,42362283,2015-08-12,37375947,Tianyi,"The room is quiet, clean and the bed is comfortable. Kitchen is awesome. It has everything for cooking. The AC vents are on the floor instead of ceiling and the washer and dryer can only access through Cindy's side which is a bit inconvenient. It's only two nights, no big deal we didn't do the laundry. In general, nice place. "
576243,42666876,2015-08-15,5566688,Greg,"Cindy's place was lovely, in a great location and nice and cool in the heat. Highly recommended. Thanks!"
576243,43287230,2015-08-18,8221036,Bridgette,This is a most excellent rental!! The proximity to downtown and anything fun you may want to do in Austin is perfect. Located on a quiet street. Cindy was absolutely welcoming and very lovely!! Everything you would possibly need is in the apartment and the decor is awesome! Her dogs are adorable and most friendly as well. I would absolutely rent this place all over again.
576243,44636873,2015-08-28,32518285,Barbara,"Cotton Street Sweet! This was the perfect home base for our week in Austin. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and the suite is fabulous.  We started our days with coffee on the screened porch, and ended it there in the evenings with a nightcap.  If you are there on a Sunday you have the added bonus of people watching at the church across the street. The accommodations  are wonderful- a kitchen with everything you need, a comfy living room, and bedroom with a dreamy, enormous, welcoming bed to fall into after a busy day of sightseeing. Cindy has thought of everything- it's the details that make this space homey and welcoming- from the Texas-centric books and magazines to the abundance of towels and toiletries- we wanted for nothing. The gated parking was appreciated, too. The location is close to downtown. Grab some bagels at Rockstar Bagels down the  road for breakfast! I don't know why you would stay anywhere else in Austin. "
576243,44949815,2015-08-30,38381927,Katie,Wonderful experience at Cindy's place in Austin! Would stay again!

576243,45589199,2015-09-04,40900893,Enid,"This is a great location, close to shops and a short ride to downtown. It   was very cosy, well-stocked with lots of comfortable bedding and other extras. We had a wonderful, relaxed and fun time. It was private and safe."
576243,46035366,2015-09-07,42311612,Ashlie,"I personally didn't meet Cindy, but she provided my guests with everything they needed before I arrived. "
576243,46905887,2015-09-14,1094261,Katie,"We appreciated the Half and half for the coffee,  very easy to use lock on door, lots of good linens, well equipped kitchen!"

576243,49204148,2015-10-02,32660122,Kerri,Cindy was a great host. Very thorough with her information. Would definitely recommend staying here. 
576243,49608553,2015-10-05,29243002,Sarah,"I recently spent the weekend with a couple friends at Cindy's house and we had a great time. The house is just as described, charming and clean. I loved the location as it's in a quiet neighborhood but within a manageable (20 minutes or so) walk to the several bars and restaurants. Also, Cindy was very easy to communicate with."
576243,50267115,2015-10-11,31342837,Meg,Great little rental! Killer kitchen and everything else you could want for a comfortable little get away! Highly recommended! Phenomenal screened in porch to chill out on. LOVED IT!
576243,50854940,2015-10-15,36209341,Charlotte,"Le logement était incroyable, très bien situé et dans un quartier paisible à 2 pas du centre-ville! Cindy a était très discrète, mais à notre disposition si nous avions besoin d'elle. Aucun problème de stationnement et la description du site correspond exactement à ce que la maison a à offrir. Nous étions 4 et il y avait amplement d'espace! Un bijou!"
576243,51330398,2015-10-19,44863377,Josh,"Cotton Street Suite is incredible! This was my first experience with Airbnb and because of Cindy and her hospitality, I am now an avid believer and user of Airbnb. This place is perfectly situated in Austin to accommodate any kind of travel plans. Short blocks from entertainment districts, yet quiet and tucked away from all the hubbub. It felt like being at home or staying with family. Very comfortable and welcoming the entire time I was there."
576243,51581647,2015-10-21,27326015,Heather,Great space and location for our group! Our friends stayed in this rental a few days before we did - we rented it on their recommendation and are glad we did! Cindy left clear and useful info so everything went really smoothly. We appreciated the basics left in the kitchen to get us started and the convenient access to laundry facilities.  Thanks for a great stay!
576243,51848263,2015-10-24,46189990,Tammy,Cindy's apt was fantastic.   Great location with a cool funky vibe.   We loved the kitchen and the bed was so comfortable.   The location was perfect and we had some fatastic food only blocks away thanks to Cindy's recommendations.  We also got to play with hers dogs Bella and Cooper.   We were missing our dogs so that was really nice.   I can't wait to come back!
576243,52050630,2015-10-26,21731569,K,Cindy was a very great communicator. The home was very well decorated and had many unexpected amenities. We had 5 adults in a group and it worked very well. She had extra beds and linens. Very close to downtown. Safe neighborhood and would highly recommend.
576243,52393867,2015-10-29,37564111,Debra,"Cotton Street Suite is a perfect spot to call home while in Austin! the location can't be beat- walking distance to downtown, yet ample parking and a quiet neighborhood feel.  Lots of places to grab a bite or last minute groceries just a couple blocks away. The space itself is super clean and roomy, with an awesome a/c!  The kitchen was well stocked, the shower has great water pressure, and beds were comfy.  Cindy was excellent with response time and clear, detailed instructions and suggestions. We will be staying here again!"
576243,53097710,2015-11-04,15953792,Lori,"So much better than a hotel!!  We had a great stay in Cotton Street Suite and Cindy was wonderful.  The apartment has a great location and  is just a short drive to downtown.  The airline lost my luggage and fortunately the apartment had wonderful soap, shampoo, conditioner and tea/coffee supplies available.  I would definitely  stay again."
4142257,29893670,2015-04-13,10875492,Hannah,Stacey was a very gracious host and let us know if we needed anything to just text her. She provided us with nice beverages and bottled water when we arrived. The back patio was very comfortable and we enjoyed being able to sit outside in the evenings.
4142257,48043073,2015-09-22,22502215,Marie,We had a great stay. It was nice to have all the water in the frig. I would definately come back to this spot
4581497,32053184,2015-05-13,288329,Maria,"This house was truly a great place to stay in Austin! A quiet street, yet walkable to fun spots like Quickie Pickie for breakfast tacos and some fancy groceries, Blue Dahlia for brunch, etc. The house is laid out really well, perfect for our family, with a wide welcoming kitchen area, a great place to cook and entertain and also keep an eye on the kids playing in the courtyard. We would definitely recommend this spot. We had a blast here! Oh and all of the tile floors are so cool! Lots of nice details! "
4581497,33621751,2015-05-30,1662105,Stephanie,"Gorgeous home! That kitchen is what got me when I first saw the listing and then the rest of the house was just a bonus! Everything was exactly as promised! The only issue I had was with the bathroom in the front bedroom. The shower/tub is a bit tricky and water kinda went everywhere. Was able to clean it up, but definitely don't just reach in and turn the water on to let it warm up or you might find a watery mess on the tile. Other than that! LOVED THIS HOUSE!! Highly recommend.

4581497,49634666,2015-10-05,3069670,Daniel,"The home was modern and recently renovated in a fun, quirky neighborhood. There were neighborhood bars and restaurants that were an easy walk and we Uber'd everywhere else. I would recommend this home for groups of friends or families with older children. Quiet area, in the middle of a big revitalization movement. I would definitely stay here again!"
4581497,51899980,2015-10-25,7772494,Sarah,The house was exactly as depicted in the photos.  The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms great and good water pressure for the showers.  What was particularly great was the sofa.  After a 'hard' day sight seeing it was wonderful to rest and chill on the sofa.  Would highly recommend and we would love to come back. 
4581497,52270389,2015-10-27,5036535,Gabriel,Gorgeous house in a great location. Perfect place for race weekend; highly recommend the team at TurnKey - everything went without a hitch 
7912974,46515389,2015-09-11,3715182,Randy,"Greg was friendly and offered a clean room in his 3 bedroom house.  I should have read the listing more carefully, because I wasn't expecting a simple air mattress in that room.  That fact, combined with really thin walls in the house made it nearly impossible for me to sleep there (conversation in the next bedroom was so easily heard that it made me feel like I was sleeping in the same room)
Other than that, the bathroom was very clean, and there's a friendly dog roaming the house.
Greg was kind enough to let me cancel the rest of my stay after that first night, because I wasn't a fan of the air mattress and thin walls.  If you are ok with those things, you would probably really enjoy staying at Greg's place."
7912974,49629069,2015-10-05,30869903,Keith,"In person Gregory was polite and friendly and his dog was just lovely. The house was mostly as described, although I was quite disappointed with the quality of bedding supplied, and the fact that the bed was a blow up mattress. I was also particularly shocked when he ""cancelled"" my booked and increased the price because he ""forgot"" it was ACL weekend. I found that quite inappropriate, but unfortunately he was the only place within a close distance of the conference venue I was attending. I would be happy to recommend to other guests so long as you are willing to sleep on an airbed."
7912974,51589313,2015-10-21,21661328,John,"Greg was extremely pleasant and helpful, as I had just relocated to Austin, and pulled up to his great house with my dog after 20 hours on the road. I would recommend him or his place to anyone! "
5060528,28080046,2015-03-17,27190276,Barrett,Donah was a wonderful and gracious host.  She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at ease.  Her home is located in a quiet neighborhood a short walk to some great food spots.  She tipped us off to a great many local finds that didn't disappoint.  The location is just a short car ride to downtown.  I would definitely recommend staying at Donah's.
5060528,51965622,2015-10-25,21059945,Nicholas,"Donah's apartment couldn't be in a better location. You are a five minute cab ride, maybe less, to downtown. Should you choose to walk you will have a variety of great restaurants, coffee spots and shops just a short walk away. The complex is very quiet and the neighborhood is beautiful. As for the apartment, it was immaculately clean. The bedrooms are quite large and the bathrooms is spotless. Should you choose to stay home and cook the kitchen is a perfect size. Donah is a great host and will give you plenty of suggestions and information on Austin and he surrounding area. If this place fits your needs just book it! "
4416362,26332189,2015-02-09,3057475,Chad,"This house was nothing like it was advertised. I rented it to entertain some clients. Upon arrival, the tables were filthy along with dirty dishes in the sink. Also, there were leaves all over the carpets. It looked like it wasn't even clean. My wife ended up doing a deep clean of the bathroom. We called to let them know and they sent another cleaning crew. They came and cleaned the tables, but didn't clean the dirty dishes. We called again and they sent someone and he said they couldn't control the cleaning crew. Not the right answer! I guess I shouldn't have to pay for my cleaning fee if that's the case. One of my clients got into bed the first night and there was what looked like rat poop in their bed. We took video and posted it to Instagram. It's flat out disgusting! The hot tub didn't work and they sent someone a couple times to fix it, but it never got fixed. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and nothing like the house was advertised. I would recommend people look at other houses in Austin."

4081863,21634990,2014-10-20,22383064,Amanda,"This house is amazing! Not only was the house beautifully decorated (the pictures don't do it justice) but it was also spotless! Upon our arrival Erik and the owner of the house were there to walk me through all the features of the house (gas fireplace outside, surround sound outside & in, TVs in the living-room, master bedroom and bathroom, coffee maker, etc. etc). It easily sleeps 6, and is in a great location, 5 minute uber ride to downtown and you can walk to zilker park. The owner of the house & Erik were both very accommodating and offered restaurant and bar suggestions. Anyone who is lucky enough to stay here is in for a treat! "
4081863,22023659,2014-10-28,13009806,John,"I have stayed in a lot of AirBnB's and this one was by far the best experience for a variety of reasons. The house was perfectly located near South Congress District, the house was so cool, clean and tastefully decorated (bachelor style!). We really enjoyed the large open air kitchen and living room, it made it a great places for my housemates and I to congregate and enjoy company. We were in town for a triathlon and so was very nice to be staying in such a comfortable place. Beds in all bedroom were extremely comfortable. Savvy barista coffee machine in kitchen was a great Wakeup each morning with extra coffee provided. All towels and shampoo/soap provided and even a bottle of wine. Just an all around great experience."
4081863,23472963,2014-12-01,344127,Ruchit,This house was incredible.  Absolutely perfect.  Its actually quite a bit bigger than the pictures make it seem! 
4081863,24547061,2014-12-30,23590216,Bruce,"We had a fantastic stay.  The house was great, very comfortable, conveniently located and Erik and his assistant Sophia could not have been more helpful.  The rear yard with fire pit was great at night and all of the electronics in he house were also great.  We would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
4081863,24888756,2015-01-03,24951611,Alison,"Erik did an awesome job making us feel welcomed! The house was beautiful, well equip, and comfortable for our group! Erik had everything laid out to a T including fresh flowers in almost every room, a much appreciated treat. 

The neighborhood was a typical Austin neighborhood, fun eclectic houses next to brand new remodels. Location was great, easy access to downtown and other bars areas. 

Thanks for a great weekend! "
4081863,26694538,2015-02-17,24128139,Nicholas,"The apartment was one of the best I've ever stayed at. There were multiple vases of fresh flowers and the owner has great taste. The outdoor fire place, indoor gas Fire place, ceiling lights that imitated stars, shuffle board, and temperpedic bed were a great touch. Highly recommend and the location was perfect. Flexible checkout and very accommodating. No complaints."
4081863,27331322,2015-03-02,26386454,Krista,"Erik was a wonderful host, he went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome in the house.  When we arrived, Erik had set out a different bouquet of beautiful fresh flowers in each room and he lit different candles throughout!  The description on the site doesn’t do the house justice; it was a beautiful place with some many different and unique features!!  We really enjoyed the whole home automation, especially the whole home audio – we had that going almost the entire time we were there!  The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen is truly a chef’s dream, and the backyard is perfect place to end your night with both a fire place and a fire pit! The neighborhood was a true Austin gem – there was an eclectic mix of both new and old homes, the street was very quiet and it’d be the perfect place to take a bike ride or a morning run! We were extremely close to great shopping and restaurants. "
4081863,30763820,2015-04-27,27334561,Matt,"Great house... GREAT HOUSE, great location, very easy to deal with, I can't say enough good things, or use enough commas, for this Incredible home. Stay there! "
4081863,33224400,2015-05-26,26875327,Sharon,"As a family getaway for the Memorial Day weekend, this home was a true gem in the heart of a wonderful Austin neighborhood conveniently located near local bars, restaurants, and a beautiful park with easy access to running trails. Exquisitely decorated with eclectic and tasteful elements of design, the house fulfills wants for both luxury and laid back Southwestern living. Spacious, serene, and fun this place is a true vacation home. The open concept design allows for convenient entertaining and the Shuffle Board was a fun distraction during a rainy weekend in addition to a beautiful backyard. The bedrooms were all equal in comfort and aesthetics. We'd definitely book this again!!!

Erik was very welcoming, accommodating, and approachable. We couldn't have found a better place to stay while to explore the awesome city of Austin.

959555,8082608,2013-10-15,1424173,Cynthia,"Everything was just as described and the hosts couldn't be nicer. Excellent coffee maker (!!!), comfy bed and adorable/friendly cat. My hosts were helpful and even loaned me a pair of sandals when my clogs gave me blisters. These are people that know how to make you feel at home and at ease. I was offered several things that helped me out during my stay- I even washed some of my clothes which got rain soaked and muddy. Donna went out of her way to give me a tour of downtown as she took me to the airport. That was a very nice bonus! Beautiful neighborhood, safe and peaceful. You can't go wrong staying at their lovely home."
959555,10439730,2014-02-18,4243299,David,"Donna and Tom were outstanding hosts and we were so glad we chose their place to stay at during our Austin trip.  They have a beautiful home and the room they offer is spacious and incredibly clean.  They are also very conveniently located just over a mile from downtown but within short walking distance of the park and some fun local restaurants and bars.  The first night we got there we simply walked five minutes down the road and had some delicious Tex-Mex.

Donna and Tom also provided great area recommendations which is always inviting to newcomers.  And if you decide to visit, don't turn down a cup of coffee.  Their coffee machine makes such a nice cup of joe that we are looking to get one ourselves!  Thanks Donna and Tom!"
959555,10500265,2014-02-22,4449421,Alice,"I would definitely recommend staying here if you ever visit Austin.

Donna's breakfasts are delicious - way above and beyond the usual Airbnb experience! "
959555,10703233,2014-03-03,11812173,Ingvor,"Donna och Tom är fantastiska värdar! Vi kom från ett boende där vi mera rått oss själva till en varm familjegemenskap hos Donna och Tom. I deras boende ingick frukost och där fi8ck vi välja vad vi ville. Varje morgon fick vi en tallrik med frukt skuren i tärningar utan att ens ha begärt det. Vi åt kokta ägg och nån irländsk gröt och pannkakor till teet/kaffet. Allt var underbart gott. Donna hade tillfälligt hand om en sjuk väns hund, vilket deras katt inte gillade,så den slöt sig till oss i tre dagar(nätter). Vi var inviterade att vistas i deras vardagsrum, kök och inte minst en ljuvlig takterass,där vi avnjöt några kvällar. En kväll bjöd de in oss att se på TV på deras storbildsskärm tillsammans med dem. Läget var helt fantastiskt :promenadavstånd till både Zilkers park och till skulpturträdgården /museet. De är två fantastiska människor och höjdpunkten på vår vistelse där var alldeles innan vi skulle ge oss av, då jag påpekade för Donna att vi inte fått höra henne sjunga.""OK I will sing for you"" svarade hon och sjunger med en mycket mjuk altstämma en helt fantastisk sång om Martin Luther King akapella. Det var många verser i sången och hon kunde dem alla. Det var magiskt.

It turned out their house was right behind it. I was able to quickly book their room for him. I went with my Dad to check him in and the space was very pretty, clean and well equipped. He was very happy with his stay their. The location is great, in walking distance to good restaurants and a quick cab ride to S. Congress and Downtown. I would highly recommend it.

The house was very clean and our room was spacious and comfortable.  Breakfast every morning was delicious and the coffee definitely lived up to its reputation.  Tom and Donna went above and beyond in every respect even going so far as to give us rides in to town when local public transportation was somewhat lacking.  We had a fantastic time and we would definitely recommend Donna and Tom's to anyone headed to the Austin area!         "

Tom was a great host; really nice to chat with and he makes a great cup of coffee :) I am a big fan of walking everywhere but when some unexpected rain came, Tom saved the day and give me a lift to my conference in town, before 8am!

959555,17187253,2014-08-08,1180786,Catia,"Donna and Tom made us feel right at home.  Fresh healthy breakfast in the morning and a luxurious comfy bed to rest our sleepy heads in at night .  Their home is located in a peaceful and eclectic neighborhood, with easy parking, conveniently situated within walking distance from Barton Springs pool and within 8 minutes drive from our new favorite place to eat in Austin, Casa de Luz.  Overall it was an easy, convenient and pleasant experience!       "
959555,17723260,2014-08-16,16922537,Scott,"We had booked our stay with Donna and Tom to visit Austin. Unfortunately, we had to cancel at the last minute.  Both Donna and Tom were very understanding and flexible with our cancellation.  I have never met them but they seem like really nice people, understanding, professional, have great communication, prompt response to questioning, and go out of their way to help you.  The price can't be beat and they have a great location close to central Austin.  For our future plans to Austin we plan on staying with Donna and Tom."
959555,18925647,2014-09-02,20622674,Arjan,"Donna and Tom did a great job. After welcoming us we got a tour. The room was clean, spatious and with a good temperature. The location is good as its near zylker park & barton springs pool. "

959555,19643226,2014-09-15,1136731,Matt,"I really enjoyed staying with Donna & Tom. They were very nice. They gave me my space & privacy but were also very friendly and readily available for help or questions if I had any. They gave me muffins, bananas, and tea for breakfast and even fed me dinner one night. The bedroom was quiet, cool, and private, and got dark at night with the blinds closed. The bed was comfortable and the desk was useful. The neighborhood was amazing: peaceful, clean, and very walkable. I recommend the nearby restaurant Casa de Luz for a healthy meal."
959555,19971863,2014-09-21,15179904,Tracey,"Tom and Donna were wonderful hosts — and they weren't even there during my stay!

I stayed at their home while they were out of town and they really went out of their way to make me comfortable. They provided me with detailed instructions on how to get around Austin, things to do, places to eat, and they even gave me a list of their favorite restaurants in the city. They left plenty of fresh fruit and tea for me, the bathroom was stocked with towels and soaps, and the house itself is beautifully decorated.

Location-wise, the house is on a peaceful street that is within walking distance from Zilker Park and Downtown (the walk to Downtown took about 20 mins). 

I had a wonderful time in Austin and I would not hesitate to recommend this Airbnb to travelers!

"
959555,20733913,2014-10-05,7833803,Mr&Mrs.,Donna & Tom were excellent hosts! Their house is very accessible & a short walk to Zilker park. The room was very clean & they provided great advise on how to make the most of our stay. Definitely our go to place the next time we're in Austin. 
959555,21122737,2014-10-12,17622597,Luz,This was our first Airbnb experience.  We stayed for the weekend and it was great!  Could not have asked for more pleasant hosts.  The room's atmosphere is peaceful and just as pictured.
959555,21323550,2014-10-14,4066636,Ernesto,"Donna and Tom were very welcoming.. like we were old friends. The access was pretty convenient and the code entry at the door was perfect, the location is right by Zilker Park which is perfect for ACL. The room is nicely decorated and the bed has a comfortable foam top. The neighborhood is pretty quiet but walking distance to restaurants, bars and coffee shops. We had a great stay all in all.  "
959555,21600840,2014-10-20,1720948,Cynthia,"Donna and Tom were incredibly sweet and welcoming and may be some of the best hosts I've had. Every morning they would ask if we wanted fruits and coffee and even introduced me to my first breakfast taco! Their location is perfect. My boyfriend and I would walk 2 minutes to the bus stop and it would be a 10 minute ride to downtown (or an $8 uber ride). They live very close to  Barton Creek Greenbelt and the trails that run along Town Lake. On nights my boyfriend and I wanted to stay in, we had a lot of privacy in our own upstairs area. The room itself was very comfortable and provided us with all the amenities we needed. Prior to our arrival, they sent us a list of ""to do's"" in Austin which was very helpful. "

As soon as I arrived on Friday there was a cooling ice water drink in the bedroom for refreshment.  My husband arrived on Saturday and we both were graciously greeted and provided information on the lovely neighborhood and all the great things to do in Austin. There home is so centrally located that walking to many of the lunch areas, and trendy eating establishments was so easy.

Though we were quite busy with our family members who live in Austin, Donna and Tom were always ready to help us with any plan that we had.  The quiet bedroom and private bath had special soap and shampoo as we needed and much appreciated after a long day.

We were so happy to meet Donna and Tom and are looking forward to seeing them again  when we visit Austin.

The room was warm and inviting, just as shown on the site.  We appreciated the filtered water alot!  Donna and Tom were very welcoming and friendly, relaxed around the morning coffee and eager to help us in any way.  It was great to be able to plan the piano, and next time maybe we'll get to jam a bit together on some standards!  The inquisitive cat was no problem at all.  We recommend this to anyone looking for a calming, quiet environment with gracious hosts. "

959555,28924422,2015-04-01,23332729,Renita,"This was our first time to use Airbnb, and we were really pleased with how everything went.  The location of Donna and Tom's home could not be better.  A short walking distance to Zilker Park/Lady Bird Lake, and all the outdoor activities available there; great restaurants and bars just down the street; and just a short drive to everything else Austin has to offer.

Donna and Tom were great hosts.  If we had questions, they were there.  If we wanted privacy, not a problem.  No surprises...the room and bath were just as described.  Everything was very clean.  We were kind of concerned about making too much noise, as the description states that we would need to remove our shoes when we were upstairs, but that turned out not to be an issue, either.  Loved staying here.

Super-nice couple, clean, sizable well-appointed room in a gorgeous home, private bathroom, no problems with my random (and sometimes late!) hours in and out, great coffee in the am and a perfect location to access all of Austin's great attractions and neighborhoods. Its proximity to Zilker park and the recreation it offered were a huge plus for me. Close enough to get anywhere I wanted in Austin with a quick Uber lift yet quiet and tucked away, more quiet and ""residential"" than ""urban,"" I really dug this location. 

Looking forward to coming back!"

Their home is beautiful, the room is lovely and quiet, the king bed superb, and all was spotlessly refreshing. Donna always responded quickly and thoroughly.  We found the location to be ideal as there was fun local stuff to do a car ride to CC was less than 10 min."

We really enjoyed meeting Donna and Tom. They are both interesting and thoughtful. I would highly recommend staying with them, we had a great experience. "

959555,36683223,2015-06-30,33399086,Carol,"5 star-plus review!

Donna and Tom were wonderful hosts!  Any hesitancy I had about staying at an AirBnB for the first time was totally dispelled when I received Donna’s first response to my inquiry. The same graciousness and warmth that came through in her correspondence was there when I arrived in Austin.  The rental car GPS system was giving me incomplete directions when driving to their place from the airport (“move to the left lane to prepare to turn left,” followed by silence, i.e., no further directions) so I called Donna on my cell phone to explain about the GPS system and to tell her I would be arriving a bit later than planned. She told me they would hang-in until I arrived.  My cell phone battery chose to die shortly after I hung up.  When I arrived at their place, quite a bit later, they were there to graciously welcome me.   (Thank you, Donna and Tom!)

Their home is located in a lovely neighborhood.  The house is beautiful; the bedroom and adjacent guest bath, spotlessly clean; the décor, calm and casually elegant; the king-sized bed, extremely comfortable.  I had a chance to have several wonderful conversations with them. I also enjoyed visiting with Tilley, their cat!  
 
Their home is conveniently located.  They were close both to the location of the wedding I was attending and, separate from the wedding, to the area where my niece, her husband and their two children live, so I was easily able to split my stay between the two events. 

Also, there are a lot great eateries within walking distance of their place and they are close to Zilker Park and Botanical Gardens, Lady Bird Lake, a series of hiking and bike trials, and Downtown Austin, with its restaurants, music venues, and State Capitol. The airport is located about 20 minutes away, an easy journey when the GPS is working or one has Google Map or other directions in hand!

I would return in a heartbeat!
"
959555,37082586,2015-07-04,17835316,Steve,"Tom and Donna provided a safe, clean and relaxed environment for my wife and I to stay. I was in constant contact with Donna and I received very prompt replies to my questions. Being foodies, my wife and I tried several of Austin's restaurant and BBQ places. Donna and Tom were very knowledgeable of Austin's hotspots and provided feedback and advise. Their hospitality was 5-stars and we felt welcome. 

The house is beautiful and clean and its location is great. Walking distance to BBQ places, a brewery, Zelker Park and the waterfront. The room was very generous in size, private, with a comfortable king size bed and a clean separate bathroom. For my wife and I, it was everything that we needed. 

We would definitely stay again with Donna and Tom when we travel back to Austin. "
959555,37786093,2015-07-10,33580612,Faye,"Tom and Donna were lovely hosts. They were kind and welcoming, making sure they were there when we arrived to greet us. The bedroom is large and clean and extremely comfortable. They have obviously worked to make it cozy. We also liked how it felt comfortable to use their kitchen or back patio space, but the room and bathroom itself felt very private. This house is also in a fantastic location. We walked to great restaurants and bars as well as Barton Springs in Zilker Park. We also walked downtown, which was a bit of a hike, but doable if you are ready and willing! It's a great part of town to stay in as a visitor. We would definitely stay here again if we ever return to Austin! "
959555,38596918,2015-07-17,23959715,Matthew,Donna and Tom are great hosts! They were very welcoming and have a lovely home. We loved the huge bedroom and very comfortable king size bed. The air con works very well. The location is great very close to the Barton Springs pool which we went each day for a swim. And there are many options for food very close by. A $6 uber will get you into the main action of Austins bars. We highly recommend staying here!
959555,39504030,2015-07-24,30286662,Stephen,"This was my second stay at this great home. It is a perfect Austin location: close to downtown, Zilker park and tons of restaurants. Tom and Donna are friendly and accommodating hosts."

959555,40495154,2015-07-31,38022921,Joan,"Donna and Tom are delightful hosts.  They responded to every text, email prior to our stay and made us feel totally welcome.  The room was pleasant, spacious, comfortable with welcome information in writing and drinks on the table at arrival.  If you love coffee, Tom's European machine beats Starbucks.  We loved the location, close to downtown, Zilker Park, terrific restaurants.  The neighborhood is quiet, with lots of trees.  Their security system made us feel safe as well.  I recommend them highly."
959555,40993926,2015-08-03,12368688,Ann,"Since I was there for family business, I did not spend much time at the Lipmans' home other than to sleep. However, the listing was perfectly accurate and both Donna and Tom were pleasant hosts.  The room was comfortable and airy.

959555,43123576,2015-08-17,22683565,John,"From the moment I arrived until I departed my experience with Tom and Donna was superb. This was my first experience using an airbnb and it matched all of my expectations. The location of their house couldn't be beat along with the list of activities they provided for the nearby and surrounding area. I highly suggest staying with them and look forward to when I return. I have somewhat not so secretly fallen in love with Austin thanks in part to this experience :-) 

I didn't rent a car while this and they were only about a $5-7 lyft or uber away from going out downtown. Nestled right next to Barton creek spring allowed for easy access to that oasis when it was too hot. There is a bunch of amazing food just 2 blocks from their house. "
959555,43833377,2015-08-22,15650619,Bob,"Donna and Tom are excellent hosts for our stays. We had a late arrival on the first day, and both of them still showed up, greet us with details of overall information about the house. The layout for the house is elegant, marvelous, roomy, and comfortable for our five-day trip in Austin. We quite enjoyed their hospitality and will recommend this to our friends for any future trip. Thank you very much!"
959555,44659387,2015-08-28,27891267,Rhona,"Room as described and generous in size.  Communication prompt and continuous.
Warm hosts with a home in a great location.  They accommodated a last minute request, the 1 nite stay of my stranded university daughter, who stayed with me.  I felt safe.
Would stay here again."
959555,45112905,2015-08-31,39191063,Jess,"This was our first visit to Austin and first AirBnb experience and it was a great one! The house was in a perfect location. We were able to walk to Austin Java, Chuy's and Barton Bike Rentals. We rented bikes and rode them to Zilker Park, swam in Barton Springs, and rented SUPs from the Rowing Dock. We never met Donna, but Tom was a great host. He was courteous, welcoming, and down to earth. We really enjoyed talking to him and his morning coffee was delicious! Their cat, Tilly, was a sweetheart. We love cats and welcomed her to hang out with us, but if you are not a cat person you could easily keep her out of your room. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean with plenty of towels, which we were able to use when we went swimming at Barton Springs. We took Uber to and from the airport which was under $20 each way, and only a $4-7 ride anywhere else we went in the city. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend staying with Donna and Tom!"

The house was beautiful. Donna & Tom were so hospitable, & accommodating. So much so, that after a few days, it felt like I lived there. Every time I saw either of them, they always greeted me. Yet, they gave me my privacy. They didn't mind I would come back late. The neighborhood was quiet, the room had a good amount of space, & the bed was comfy.

If you're looking for a quiet place to stay, near the park, & near many eating options, I highly recommend staying here."
959555,50913374,2015-10-16,1731763,Camilla,"Fantastic room and friendly hosts who gave me everything I needed for a wonderful stay. I would stay again in a heartbeat. Neighbourhood is quiet and relaxing, but within walking distance to many amenities. Thank you Donna and Tom. I only wish I could have stayed longer. Oh and Tilly, the cat, is the sweetest thing."
959555,51423652,2015-10-20,11890042,Maree,"Donna and Tom were great to stay with. They opened their home to us and made us feel really comfortable. The room itself is lovely, spacious and clean. Same goes for the bathroom, which is private for your use. The neighbourhood is so beautiful, and is close to barton springs and the waterfront. 

There is great food (and bbq!) just down the road, and you can walk to downtown or use uber. 

Unfortuntaley we were busy from
The get go so didnt get to see all that much of Donna and Tom, but when we did it was great :) 

Ps make sure to say hello to Tilly-cutest cat ever! 

Thank you Donna and Tom!! We had an excellent stay"
959555,51881117,2015-10-25,11067147,Moira,"Communication prior to and during our stay was excellent. Tom made us feel very welcome and we had great chats over freshly ground/brewed coffee in the mornings (Tom had the best coffee machine!) 
The room itself is large, comfortable, tidy and beautiful with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The wifi works really well and the keyless entry system was great too.  We will be back to stay next time we're in Austin for sure!"
898803,3834577,2013-03-19,4157351,Jodie,Great place to stay beautiful house great bedrooms and living room fold out couch. Lovely for kids too.
898803,4362969,2013-04-30,2749901,Melati,I loved staying here.. the place was immaculate and comfortable. There is nothing I would change about it and look forward to staying there again next year perhaps!
898803,4474086,2013-05-07,606464,Jennifer,"Both the owners and the fellow who manages this property (the owners live in Houston) were super responsive, helpful and gracious. The house itself is beautiful and well maintained. Beautiful details. Great location. I'll be back!"
898803,5058514,2013-06-10,365294,Ashley,"I don't even know where to begin other than to say I wish I had found this house first.  It is amazing.  I wanted to take the furniture home with me-the blankets, the yard, the ceilings....and Aimee-well she is just the most wonderful hostess ever.  I felt as if I were in my own home, but better.  Many people have concerns about the East side of Austin-I did not ever feel unsafe.  I think I felt more safe there than I did when I lived on the West side of Austin.  If you are looking for a wonderful experience, this is it.  I wouldn't even consider a different rental on this site.  If it is booked when you need it, then wait. xoxoxo

898803,10917558,2014-03-13,5278602,Michel,"We just rented Aimée and Daniel's house during SXSW 2014. We were 5 and it was great. We just wish we had more time to enjoy it leisurely. It is a great place to rest in a nice neighbourhood. The walk to the Convention Center is about 20' which is good when you do not have a car.
We totally recommand it..."
898803,17962543,2014-08-19,1478370,Walter,"Since this house was already moved once, I felt like it was worth a shot to text our host and ask her if they'd consider moving it again to California. It was worth a shot, but sadly the answer was no. Regardless, we found Aimee + Daniel's place to be as close to perfection as we were likely to find for our five-some. Located within a 5 minute drive (or Uber/Lyft) from both the understated East Side bars/restaurants/food trailers and the West 6th disaster area, this place was perfect for meeting all of our recreational needs. 

The open floor plan, wraparound porch, laundry amenities, and nicely appointed kitchen made our vacation feel a lot like home - in all the best ways. The property manager was there when we arrived from the airport, and quickly showed us the pertinent details and amenities. With that, we were on our way to enjoy ourselves. 

Thanks again, Aimee + Daniel! We had a marvelous time and can't wait to go back. "
898803,18786719,2014-09-01,657618,Martha,"Aimee and Daniel's home was lovely. Moving in and out were totally seamless, as was our entire stay. We had a wonderful time and the space was completely gorgeous and in a great neighborhood. The perfect place for a few days in Austin."
898803,19524677,2014-09-14,2717187,Bruno,"We could not have been more pleased with our experience. The house was a wonderful space for spending time with family and friends, and could not have been more accurately described. It's wrap around porch was perfect for lounging out with friends, or taking in an Austin morning with a cup of coffee. Although the home only had one bathroom (which we thought would be an issue) the sheer size of it made it easy for multiple people to get ready at once. The house had ample supplies, such as toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, towels, linens, and so on and so forth. The kitchen was equipped with everything you could need, with the exception of a microwave (which just encouraged more fresh food). The fridge even had a few beverages waiting for us, which we happily left refilled and then some. As far as location, how does a 5 minute cab ride to 6th Street sound? Yep! The neighborhood is up and coming. You'll see some questionable characters from time to time, but nothing to get concerned with. All in all, this place is great and honestly couldn't have been any better."
898803,20023939,2014-09-22,15545717,Anne,"This little house was absolutely perfect for our anniversary trip to Austin. Even without a rental car, it was the perfect distance from the hot spots, especially if you like to walk. Plus, it had tons of character. Would stay there again in an instant. "
898803,21205436,2014-10-13,3311487,Scott,"Experience at this home was great. Large open space, comfortable beds, and very clean. Great for a group of up to 7-8. Would stay here again!"
898803,21889781,2014-10-26,5505844,Leigh,"Aimee and Daniel's home was perfect for our group! They were easy to communicate with, always responding promptly. The house was as pictured and well appointed with linens, kitchen supplies, etc. The location in E. Austin was walking distance to fun bars and restaurants, but in a quiet neighborhood. I'd definitely recommend this home to others looking for a comfortable and low maintenance stay in Austin!"
898803,22228752,2014-11-02,13447885,Jayant,"Nice spot. House is very cool, ample space and sleeping. Clean and plenty of room to hang out outside. Parking is easy. Easy access to downtown. Street corner is dark, but neighborhood is great. Aimee and Dan were very responsive and helpful"
898803,22521771,2014-11-09,20366753,John,"Aimee & Dan were great hosts. Prior to arrival we received the house manual which explained rules, nearby food, etc... Description matched the residence and we were pleasantly surprised by the spacious house. Had a nice ATX feel and a wraparound porch where most time was spent outside relaxing. Thanks Aimee & Dan

Side bar- there is no tv. "
898803,25547799,2015-01-19,3814497,Julia,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin at the Converted Courthouse. The house is true to the photos - full of light and character and ample open space for large groups - and all the amenities (towels, kitchen appliances, etc.) you'd need. The location within the neighborhood was also ideal, in walking distance to delicious food trucks and other neighborhood delights, while the street itself was quiet during the night hours. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the property to others!"
898803,26270060,2015-02-08,908144,Manil,This place is great. The house is very unique and has a lot of space. It's in a quiet neighborhood but it's not far from several bars and restaurants. The hosts were very responsive. The only issue was that the internet didn't work but it wasn't a big deal for us since we were out exploring the city for most of the trip.
898803,26600495,2015-02-16,25694432,Rebecca,"Aimee and Daniel's home is gorgeous, comfortable, and well-outfitted. The pictures are an accurate representation! The house is a short walk to some awesome areas and a short drive to everything else. We comfortably slept six, and had a blast spending mornings sipping coffee on the wrap-around porch and cooking dinner in the kitchen. The only downside was that there was dog hair around the house that made for some sneezing. If you're allergic this might not be the best choice for you. Otherwise, the house truly provided everything we needed and Aimee, Daniel, and their house manager John couldn't have been more welcoming, responsive, hospitable, and flexible with our check-in/out times. "
898803,27275122,2015-03-01,2899158,Ken,What an incredible and charming home!  The check in process was incredibly easy and the location was very convenient for downtown Austin and the East side.
898803,27680382,2015-03-09,28001500,Luzia,"The contact with Aimee & Daniel was most pleasant and easy-going. I wasn't a guest at the house myself but the colleagues staying
there were very happy with the accommodation and uncomplicated arrangements for arrival, departure, keys etc.
We certainly recommend Aimee & Daniel and their place for a stay in Austin and would be more than happy to have them as hosts again!"
898803,28078033,2015-03-17,676990,Elizabeth,"Description of the court house is 100% accurate and I loved staying there. Amy was so responsive and helpful, check-in/out was a breeze, and it was so nice to come home each night to a cool, comfortable and quiet space. We had to be downtown for much of our stay and with Uber/Lyft and a bus stop a 2 minute walk, it was so convenient. Highly recommended."
898803,29751186,2015-04-12,13608997,Daisy,"We had a lovely stay in Austin in this gorgeous house. Everything we needed was on hand with some lovely extra touches too.
The area is beautiful, near some great venues, and walking distance to North Congress too.
I would definitely stay here again - thanks for a wonderful time!"
898803,31888669,2015-05-11,1666393,Jennifer,"Aimee and Daniel's place is adorable. All 6 of us loved the decor - such great color and art so conducive to having a good time. Such a happy and upbeat sense of style and very Austin.
Can't say enough nice things about John (the property manager) who was lovely and responsive. He waited for us to arrive even after we got in late due to thunderstorms. John came through in a jiff with our request for hangars and trash bags. The location was perfect for us and the house was just right accommodating 5 women and one brave guy comfortably. We are all experienced group travelers and were able to democratically coordinate the use of the big, beautiful
 single bathroom without issues.  
It was an amazing time and were sad to leave! 
Already wanting to return. Thank You! "
898803,33232098,2015-05-26,2783440,Eric,"This old courthouse boasts the three most important pieces for a great house: open living area, nice porch and solid location. Neither 'fancy' nor merely 'adequate' this home worked perfectly for me and my production team as we captured footage for a documentary we're shooting around Austin.

Solid water pressure, wifi and a Jambox made for a delightful long Memorial Day Weekend.

Ten minute walk from coffee and breakfast burritos made our mornings a delight. Ten minute walk to Full Circle Bar (Austin's new Skee-Ball home) made for some highly memorable nights. Also ten minute walk is Sam's BBQ -- canNOT be missed.

Final Verdict: Court house is found guilty on all charges of being a solid Air BnB selection.

Case closed.
"
898803,34315701,2015-06-07,15354241,Jeffrey,The home was beautiful! We were thrilled with the space and the hospitality. The deck that surrounded 3 of the 4 sides of the home was a perfect place to relax after our daily travels.
898803,45798066,2015-09-06,6405165,Shelley,"Really enjoyed our stay!  The house was quirky and fun, with tall ceilings and a great wrap around porch that kept two 3 year olds and their scooters entertained.  And the location and proximity to Austin hot-spots was excellent.  The owners Aimee and Daniel and their caretaker John were also very responsive when needed.  Would definitely stay there again."
898803,47673648,2015-09-21,39302642,Michael,"We had a great experience staying here. We had a group of guys visiting Austin for a weekend of golf, going out, and having world class BBQ. This place gave us easy access to all of that and had a cool vibe to it. Would definitely try and stay here again if possible. "
898803,49431881,2015-10-04,31467835,Kate,"The couthouse was great! I can tell a lot of hard work and caring went into this place and it is awesome that the show pictures of the transformation!

Loves:
- Comfortably slept our group of 6
- Always had hot water and room for girls to fuss in the bathroom :)
- Super duper clean
- Stylish and fun
- Instructions were great and easy to get in and out

Just Oks:
- Location was not great for going out (you had to cab everywhere, a few skeezy folks hollered at us when we walked)
- All the locks on the doors stick (maybe a key issue?) this was a problem since only two of us were able to figure out how to lock and unlock the door"
898803,51364148,2015-10-19,9430147,Robert,"The Courthouse was amazing.  Great, rustic and natural yard.  The interior was clean and airy.  Fantastic front porch for just hanging out too.  Oh and the neighborhood is awesome... 5 min walk to Mickelthwaite Meat Company for the best BBQ you will find in Austin!"
4304020,26131073,2015-02-04,2910443,Sayble,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for a month. Kristin was very helpful and always easy to get ahold of. I didn't have any issues with the place, I enjoyed every minute of staying at her lovely home! Everything in the house was new so it felt very clean and inviting. Nice big backyard and ample parking space in the driveway (which you're lucky to find in Austin!). I recommend staying here, you'll be close to everything but also slightly out of the major high traffic areas :)"
4304020,26591375,2015-02-16,3888756,Katherine,Chris and Kristin's home was absolutely perfect for our stay in Austin!  They provided all the essentials and the home was lovely and clean.  We were in town for the Austin marathon and They were sweet enough to leave spaghetti ingredients for before the race.  Lovely home and hosts.  Very responsive to any questions.  Couldn't have asked for a better stay!  
4304020,27058785,2015-02-24,8026901,(We Are) Bonnie & Ky,"Kristen and Chris have a fantastic home and we really enjoyed our time there.  Although we didn't have the opportunity to meet them, they left a very welcoming note and some special treats for us and called to make sure we arrived and got in with no problems.  Their communication was excellent and the house is in like new condition.  All in all it was perfect for our family reunion and everyone enjoyed themselves.  The location was also ideal for us as well with easy access to 71 and downtown.  You can't go wrong in their home!"
4304020,27268605,2015-03-01,26856379,Pranitha,"This was my first airbnb, so I didn't really know what to expect. The apartment looks exactly like the photos - clean, well kept, and cozy. Chris & Kristen were more than fantastic hosts.  I came here for a reunion with 5 of my college friends. They left us chocolate and wine, and all of the amenities anyone would need when traveling - shampoo, blankets, water. They were flexible with the check in and check out time, and were available during the entire duration of this reservation. From a few weeks prior to days after, they would respond within the hour. If I'm ever visiting Austin again, I would stay here again with no hesitation. Highly recommend this property. "
4304020,27666762,2015-03-09,2038543,Brandon,Chris and Kristin were very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and the home was very nice. They were kind enough to leave Texas beers in the fridge because my friends were visiting for the first time from CA. All the amenities you would need are provided and we had a wonderful stay. The home is in a very convenient location to downtown and South Congress.
4304020,27929066,2015-03-15,4471159,Michael,"We had a great stay at the house during sxsw. Well appointed, comfortable and quiet. Chris and Kristin welcomed us with a bottle of wine and provides bottles of water along with shampoo, soap and toothpaste. They also checked in periodically to see if we needed anything. We made great use of the coffee machine as well!"
4304020,28376952,2015-03-23,17945469,Bruce,"We were four staying at the house and we had a lovely time. The beds are comfy and the place is clean and spacious. Exactly as pictured. Chris and Kristin are courteous, responsive hosts and we'd definitely stay here again some day. Great location too."
4304020,28787062,2015-03-30,17019170,Rachel,The house looked just like the photos-- very clean and comfortable. I stayed here as part of a group of 6 and everyone was very pleased with the space and amenities. The neighborhood was quiet but still within walking distance of a couple of restaurants like Torchy's. Kristin was always available to us by phone if needed and there was a helpful house guide that included a list of local spots to check out. 
4304020,29284854,2015-04-06,10574305,Marcia,"Thank you Chris & Kristin.
We found your getaway to be very quiet, cozy and yet easy to access Austin and the airport. It's a great location!  We appreciated how clean and tidy the place was and your information and welcome treats were appreciated.

We will definitely check on your availability for any Austin trips we make in the future.
"
4304020,29875830,2015-04-13,6587867,Jennifer,"Kristin's listing was perfect for our group and in close proximity to all the main attractions in Austin.

The place is in an excellent location in the hills of Austin, the house is spacious, clean, quiet, and everything was as described. Viviane and John were so nice and helpful, thank you for your great hospitality it was a pleasure meeting you  '!!

Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Rudolf "
1757346,12194260,2014-04-25,13715761,Benjamin,John and Vivien are wonderful people.  I feel like I've made two lifelong friends.
1757346,12448119,2014-05-02,13715761,Benjamin,Had the pleasure of staying with John and Vivien again. Wonderful!
1757346,14418036,2014-06-18,76115,Sharon,John and Vivien are lovely people and they have a lovely home. This is my second stay in four months. This host is the best stay in Austin for my money.
1757346,17082463,2014-08-06,9813197,Michael,"My stay with John and Vivien was short but I loved every minute of it. The place is quiet and close to nature. You can watch birds and enjoy the view while resting on the balcony. The home itself (I call it Castle ;), and the room was new, shiny and super clean. Everything is like advertised. However, you will need a car to get there and drive around. There's a nice set of shops and restaurants nearby at the Bee Cave. Overall - my experience was great and I am glad to recommend the hosts and the place to everybody!"
1757346,17491836,2014-08-12,7095861,Debbie,This was our first time staying at an airbnb property and we will most definately do it again. John and Vivien were great hosts allowing us to set the pace for communication and privacy. Everything was comfortable and their house was amazing. If we are in the area we will stay here again. Thanks!
1757346,18864847,2014-09-01,20670198,Justin,What an amazing first experience for us with airbnb. John and Vivien were an absolute joy and their place is exactly as pictured. Just clean and spacious.  They are such a wonderful couple I wish we would have had more time to just chat as we thoroughly enjoyed the times we did! It's nice to have new friends. This is a place to definitely relax at. The weather was great and their balcony was a wonderful spot to have a glass of wine. It will be hard to find better hosts I think.  They seriously are easy going and will respect your space if you need it. They are very accommodating and eager to help make your stay enjoyable. But seriously if you go have a glass of wine on the deck and just get to know them.  You are about 20 minutes from downtown but if you are looking for a quiet nice neighborhood this is it. Bed was a little firm for my girlfriends liking but you have a choice of different density pillows.  Thanks so much John and Vivien! We will keep in touch!
1757346,19783605,2014-09-18,20179250,John,"John & Vivien are the consummate hosts.  Available for conversation - and very engaging conversation at that - as well as all the privacy one could want.  Clean, attractive, comfortable, quiet, relaxing... My five nights there could not have been any better."
1757346,21195499,2014-10-13,76115,Sharon,"Vivien and John's home is beautiful. My room was comfortable, as well as tastefully decorated. The hosts are caring. I love staying with them, and if anyone has the occasion to visit the  Oakhill or Southwest Austin, I highly recommend this lovely place. "
1757346,21987334,2014-10-27,18632623,Linda,"John and Vivien made us feel very welcome.  We loved sitting on the deck in the evening, sharing a glass of wine with our hosts and also sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise over the hillside.  They have a lovely home in which they take a lot of pride (rightly so).  It is in a quiet neighborhood, within driving distance to restaurants, shopping, and a Whole Foods Market.  They respect your privacy, yet are responsive when you indicate that you would enjoy spending time with them.  They have a world of experiences to share."
1757346,22320121,2014-11-03,22445329,Silvio,"John and Vivien are examples of how to host Air BnB. Always ready for a good conversation, and respecting your privacy. Their house is beautiful, and we felt really thankful for choosing them to stay in Austin. 20 minutes from downtown in a great neighborhood. We wish we could stay longer to spend even more time with them and enjoy all the experiences they have to tell us and the advises, of course. We really expect to stay in touch with them, maybe visiting them again or meeting them in New York, where we live. Thanks for everything John and Vivien, we had a blast in Texas, a five days vacation that got even better with this experience. "
1757346,23340416,2014-11-29,23753985,Rj,"John and Vivien were excellent at providing a great environment for my girlfriend and I. They had a fresh pitcher of water in the room, breakfast and coffee available, and were very accommodating to us. They are very nice people who have a wonderful home and warm personalities. We would definitely recommend staying here. This was our first airbnb experience and we only hope that our next airbnb experience will match the hospitality that John and Vivien provided.    "
1757346,25025825,2015-01-05,76115,Sharon,Beautiful home. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. I stay with Vivien and John every time I come to Austin. It is the best Airbnb place to stay in Austin. It's gorgeous quiet and private. I highly recommend staying here.

1757346,28387185,2015-03-23,76115,Sharon,Wonderful place to stay in South Austin. Elegant surroundings with wonderful hosts. Beautifully decorated rooms with private baths. Wouldn't stay any place else while in Austin. 
1757346,32412233,2015-05-17,27044034,Matthew,"Our host were wonderful, I feel that the more I book with Airnbnb the more I find myself booking for people and not so much the room. Very sweet and very open Vivian and John were great hosts, we arrived a little late and John stayed up to greet us, we were welcomed with some wine and a smile and some brief getting to know you. He is a great man with a passion for history and knowledge. Vivian is a very elegant lady soft spoken and kind she made it her job to make sure we were happy a taken care of. The house was beautiful and the scenery was the same.  The neighborhood was quiet and clean. With a great view of trees and happy family's.  We made some really great friends on this trip as on our last. We ate, laughed, and spent time getting to know each other. Wonderful hosts would recommend them to anyone. Will we stay in touch with them, seeing them as more than just a great place to stay. "
1757346,35646979,2015-06-21,11161497,Alissa,"John and Vivien were amazing hosts! Their home was nestled in the hill country with a view overlooking a bird sanctuary. Very peaceful and quiet home, great for a much needed restful weekend. My favorite part of the stay was that John and Vivien left small chocolates and water by our bedside each night. What a thoughtful touch! Highly recommend!"
1757346,37258858,2015-07-05,22269125,Nadia,"Thank you Vivien and John for sharing your beautiful house with us. We loved staying at your place! The room was very comfortable, completely private and most important kept extmely clean!

We will come back!

It seriously felt like home, Vivian gave us some really good suggestions on nearby places to visit and we had water and chocolate left for us every night. Little things like this really brighten up your experience! Their house is impeccable, they take a lot of pride in their place and it shows. They have two decks with a gorgeous view. Perfect to sit and relax outside. I highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed! "
1757346,49026120,2015-09-30,42800783,Randy,"John and Vivien were simply awesome hosts!
I landed at their home and felt at home immediately.  Their home is impeccably clean. They are willing to share knowledge of the area and converse in general.  I am so thankful that this is where I landed in moving to Austin."
1757346,49498703,2015-10-04,20290667,Eva,"Vivien is a gracious and welcoming host. Our room was immaculate and the accommodations better than we could have hoped for our weekend in Austin. 

I highly recommend this location if you are looking for lodging for weddings in the Hill Country area of town. We were five minutes from Pecan Springs Ranch, which made being a part of a wedding party there so much easier and accessible in a city where traffic can play a big part in travel around town."
1757346,50350391,2015-10-11,7520204,Rachel,"My husband and I had an amazing time at John and Vivien’s place. Unfortunately we did not get to meet John as he was traveling, but Vivien was a great host. The place was neat, clean and beautiful. Vivien gave us a lot of insights regarding Austin and even helped us by referring a real estate agent as we are looking to eventually relocate. The place is very peaceful and within 20 minutes from most of the places we visited.  Vivien thank you so much for everything, we hope to meet you again in the near future."
1757346,51453103,2015-10-20,15484803,Beth,"The house and surrounding area is just as beautiful as the photos show. What also shows in the many positive reviews is how warm and helpful Vivien and John are. They clearly read my profile ahead of the visit and had a guide to local hiking destinations out to share upon my arrival. This was the perfect upscale, rural location to access both the great music, food and other venues in Austin as well as a hill country wedding venue that was less than 15 minutes away (Tipping-T Ranch)."
770721,3780108,2013-03-14,97528,Holly,I was in Austin for SXSW and Pam's apartment was perfect. It's 2 blocks from a great coffee place which is right on the way to the bus stop that brings you straight into downtown. Pam was easily accessible and flexible when my flight arrived late. She even left a couple of beers in the fridge for me :) 
770721,3818836,2013-03-18,993717,Brandon,Pam was great! She had awesome recommendations on the surrounding areas and her place was a perfect recharge spot to escape the craziness of the SXSW festival.
770721,10900044,2014-03-12,721568,Eric,"I very much enjoyed my stay at Pam's apartment for SXSWi. The apartment was clean and well-equipped, with a large living room and bedroom. The apartment is very close to a bus line that runs right into downtown, so getting back and forth was easy. The apartment is also located very close to an organic grocery store and a number of restaurants. Overall, I had a great stay in Pam's apartment and would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!"
770721,52167294,2015-10-26,46892872,Angela,"The apartment was exactly as described.  The neighborhood was great with plenty of places within walking distance.  (Recommend Caffe Medici right around the corner!)  We had 4 staying in the apartment, 2 in the bedroom and 2 on the air-mattress that Pam left for us to use (it is huge and extremely comfy!!) Parking was fine and the place was conveniently located for our weekend plans in downtown and surrounding areas.  Pam was an awesome host and was very communicative with everything throughout the weekend.  We would definitely stay there again and recommend anyone to stay there when its available! Thanks Pam :)"
5323364,28404463,2015-03-23,26743723,Nuala,"Kevin from the beginning was very accommodating. He worked some magic to help our budget, he remained consistently communicative and available throughout and everything was smooth and stress free!

The group had a wonderful time in Austin and were delighted to stay at Kevin's wonderful home.

Thanks!"
202755,503830,2011-09-05,979402,Owen,"Katherine was a delight to deal with.  The house is very comfortable and was all clean and ready for us when we arrived.  It is located in a quiet residential area but conveniently close to all the neat shops and restaurants in SoCo. It is also a short cab ride over the bridge to downtown. We had a great time.

Thanks,
Owen

202755,639556,2011-10-17,1261105,Ursula,"We were traveling with our 3 year old and her grandmother, and the house worked perfectly for all of us.  Katherine was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive.  She was so accommodating, when we really needed it! The house was lovely -- simple, classy, understated; fun treats in the kitchen, and a sweet little shady deck to sit outside and enjoy the morning.  It was such an easy walk to South Congress -- pretty easy striking distance of freeways and downtown, also.  Overall just a great experience."
202755,684087,2011-11-01,1327710,Angie,"This house is in one of the most desireable neighborhoods in Austin, within walking distance to Soco and not far from downtown. The house is very cute and cozy and they keep it really neat. I would recommend this place for any one traveling to  Austin, especially for us traveling with a pet, there was a small back area for pets to run around in.  This was perfect for our group of 5, there were 2 beds in one room, a queen/king in the master, and a futon in the open area back room. I would stay here again!"
202755,699949,2011-11-07,1322851,Kate,The house is in a great location and Katherine was extremely helpful and accommodating.  We would definitely rent from her again.
202755,974885,2012-03-06,1499001,Molly,"The house was clean, well-equipped and well-stocked (meaning there was beer in the fridge!), welcoming + orderly. Many outdoor meals were enjoyed on the deck. All our basic needs were taken care of.
"
202755,1016568,2012-03-19,18804,Ingrid,"The house was wonderful and an absolutely perfect location for experiencing the best that Austin has to offer.  Just off South Congress but in a nice quiet street (even in amongst all of the SXSW madness!).

Katherine was amazingly easy to keep in touch with and ensured we had all of the information that we needed to make it an easy and stress free stay."
202755,1240779,2012-05-07,154024,Brittany,"We had a wonderful time at this cute cottage near South Congress. The place is well taken care of, with an updated modern decor, and very comfortable. We surprised my mother for her birthday and our family stayed here to celebrate. The back patio was perfect for some old friends to come join us—we grilled and had a lovely time back there. The neighborhood can't be beat. We walked to Jo's each morning and grabbed slices from Home Slice pizza for late-night. So great!"
202755,1295280,2012-05-17,1455146,Giovanni,I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Katherine and the house. The place I stayed at was just perfect. It was Katherine that made the whole experience exceptional. Accommodating friendly and professional. Katherine is the best host ever!
202755,1558472,2012-06-25,1766251,Christina,"Katherine's house was perfect for our stay!  We had a reunion of sorts in celebration of a friend's engagement.  The location is superb for walking in SoCo and downtown is just a short cab ride away.  Katherine is super responsive and left one of the most thorough guide on ""What to do in Austin"" which was really helpful.  This is a perfect home if you have a group of 6 or 7."
202755,2596207,2012-10-13,688199,Joi,"Lovely little place.   So close to fun shops and restaurants (and food trucks!) on S Congress.  We had a conference at the Convention Center and it was super convenient.  We caught the bus super easy, but there are  very quick response times from taxis too."
202755,2638817,2012-10-17,1368667,Leisha,"Katherine was a great host to deal with.  She communicated really well before our check in and provided me with all the check in information i needed well before we arrived.  She was even able to accommodate an early check in.  We were in Austin for ACL and this place is perfect for it.  It is a 30min walk, or you can walk up to South Congress and get a shuttle or pedi cab in if you can't be bothered walking.  It is also a short walk into Downtown and 6th street or a $10 cab ride.  It is also located close to bars and restaurants on South Congress Ave a 5min walk away.  The house itself is just beautiful and in a lovely neighbourhood.  We stayed there with 2 friends and had plenty of space.  There is a nice living area with lounge, table, TV and was great to just chill out in.  There is kitchen with all modern conveniences and we were able to utilise anything in the cupboards we needed.  There is also a nice backyard area where we enjoyed breakfast and also a few drinks.  If we ever get back to Austin we will definately be staying here again, we just loved it!"
202755,2706003,2012-10-24,77262,Kit,"We had such a great visit in Austin thanks to Kat's great place! A perfect space for family...clean, all the amenities, walk able to so many great places/ south congress and downtown... We would absolutely recommend her place for a wonderful Austin trip!"
202755,2876126,2012-11-13,1371923,Julie,The SoCo cottage was in a great location -- walking distance from tons of restaurants and boutiques!  It was super cute and perfect for our girls' weekend.  We would definitely recommend it and stay there again!
202755,2960425,2012-11-25,2956423,Samantha,The cottage is nice and in a great location! 
202755,3798359,2013-03-16,5070053,Niki,"I booked this apartment for 3 of my managers who went to SXSW in Austin. They said the cottage was excellent - very clean, spacious and in a good location. Kat had left them some nibbles and drinks in the fridge which was a wonderful touch and they would definitely recommend her as a host. Thank you for all of your help Kat!"
202755,4353277,2013-04-29,1212404,Brian,"I had an amazing stay @ Kat's place in Austin. I own a house in Travis Heights and love the neighborhood. I was moving out of Austin, so I stayed at Kat's place on the weekend of the move. Great place in a great neighborhood. Kat was easy to work with and get a hold of. You can walk to South Congress w/ tons of nightlife & restaurants---or you can catch a cab or the bus from there to anywhere in the city. I will definitely stay again. "
202755,4571483,2013-05-13,1736374,Chad,"Kat's place was the perfect venue for a weekend getaway to Austin. It's in a great neighborhood, conveniently located from SoCo, comfortably fit 5, and has an awesome back porch. I will definitely stay here on my next visit."
202755,4683259,2013-05-20,5992898,Grayson,"Great location - good value. Can walk to South Congress area but quite and private. Kat was very organized and fast to respond. It is an older home, so during the summer months it can take a while to cool."
202755,4843620,2013-05-28,6293853,Bernard,"Nice, clean house in a great neighborhood.  We were 2 couples and a 5th guest, so the 5th used the back futon room as his bedroom and it was quite comfortable.  House was well-appointed and everything was explained quite well in owners' instructions.  Would stay here again."
202755,5117019,2013-06-13,1838869,Allie,"This was the perfect house for us! At 8 months pregnant and traveling with our big dog, it can often be hard to find comfort on the road, but we couldn't have felt more at home. The kitchen was one of my favorite parts of the house, where I spent time making meals and doing laundry in the stacked washer and dryer. There were only two of us so the house was much bigger than our needs, and it would totally be comfortable for a larger group of friends or family. My dog loved the neighborhood, where we went for long walks every night, and people in the neighborhood are all so friendly. It's a short walk to S. Congress where you can get ice cream, pizza, go shopping and more. We couldn't have picked a better place to call home for a week! Thanks Kat :)"
202755,5187135,2013-06-17,3514501,LiJia,"The SoCo Cottage was everything we expected and more. Just a short walk to the restaurants, vintage stores, and bars of South Congress. The home was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. "
202755,5625163,2013-07-08,7216846,Oscar,"The house was great and Kat was great to deal with.
Everything was clean and as promised, and the location is excellent. I would definitely stay here again."
202755,6821631,2013-08-26,2591531,Gina,"What a fabulous find!  Easy walk to SoCo district. Great access from I-35.  We didn't do any cooking (because of all the amazing restaurants within walking distance), but the kitchen was certainly well-equipped if we had wanted to cook.  2 bedroom, 2 bath, but also has a queen futon in a room off of the kitchen.  We were 4 gals and one guy (the guy slept on the futon).  Worked great, the only downside was that you must enter the bedrooms to use the bathrooms, so he had to wait until we were up before he could go!  Not a big deal, just something to consider.  There were plenty of linens, and the home is very clean.  

The owners have put together a great little Austin guide, with restaurant recommendations.  Some of our favorites: South Congress Cafe (went there twice), and of course Jo's coffee.  The ice cream shop Amy's was a nice treat (especially when you have triple-digit temps). We also enjoyed Parkside on 6th Street.  It was really too hot to avail ourselves of all the great food trucks.  Do not miss the flagship Whole Foods!  And Uncommon Objects on S. Congress is wonderful, we could have spent hours there.  We were there for BatFest, though we only took in the bat exodus, not much of the music.

We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Austin."
202755,6984018,2013-09-02,1245988,Katie,"This house was a great value for the location. If you search for similar homes in the area, you'll find this to be a great location at an awesome price!

When we first arrived to the house to check in we noticed that it hadn't been cleaned/serviced since the last guest checked out. We immediately let Kat know and within an hour she had responded and let us know the cleaner would be there shortly. It turned out her cleaner wasn't able to service the apt for another few hours due to heavy traffic so Kat comped us the first night PLUS the cleaning deposit. This was class A customer service.

The rest of our weekend was great! The house was perfect for two couples as it has two en suite bedrooms and a nice-sized kitchen and living area. We'd definitely stay again!"
202755,7402465,2013-09-18,1452542,Paolo,"A coworker and I stayed here during a business trip and it was great! We each had a bedroom and bathroom to ourselves. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood and is within walking distance to all the quirky shops and popular restaurants on South Congress. 

If you want a place to call home while visiting Austin, this is definitely your place! Kat provided a helpful guide or places to check out around town and there is detailed fact sheet on the refrigerator answering all your questions about house amenities. "
202755,8147403,2013-10-18,5476774,Sean,"We recently stayed at this nice SoCo cottage for the 2nd ACL weekend. There were four of us, and we found the house to be perfect size and location for our needs. We could easily walk to South Congress, or just relax outside. The house was in great shape, clean and just as advertised. The house is a great spot to share with friends, and experience the best spots of Austin within a close walk or drive."
202755,8427435,2013-10-30,653980,Sam,"Great location. Easy walk to South Congress. Four stars based on location alone. Two star deduction for all the little things that didn't work and the misleading information I was given.

Here's what you'll want to know before booking:

As of Oct 27th, The Cottage is adjacent to a construction site, there is a junk car parked in front to the house (the owner's -- wrecked and with a flat tire), the porch light doesn't work, the stereo doesn't work, the TV remote works about half the time. The fridge wasn't cleaned out before we arrived. Bathrooms are accessible only through the bedrooms. Dog run in the back is missing its door.

Back patio is a nice touch. Neighborhood is great. WiFi worked well. One of the showers is really good. Price is good. Location is fantastic -- new part of Austin for me that I really enjoyed discovering.

Of course I read all the other reviews before I booked the Cottage. Maybe if I'd reached out to Kat about the things above we'd have found her as responsive and excellent in fixing problems as others did. I expected these things not to be issues when we arrived. 

I was able to drive past the house a week before our sublet and was surprised to see the construction site (mud pit, plastic fence-wrap, outhouse) right next door. When I emailed Kat about it, she said she hadn't even noticed. The outhouse is adjacent to the Cottage's front door and looks like it won't be removed anytime soon."
202755,8567962,2013-11-05,3412866,Jessica,"Had a fabulous time staying here with my husband, another couple and our two babies (8 weeks and 7 months). The house is comfortable and well equipped - it was stocked with everything we needed, and Kat even generously set up a crib for the 7 month old and a bassinet for the 8 week old. We loved being a short (and pretty) walk to lots of fun stuff on South Congress. We got coffee and breakfast burritos at Jo's just about every morning. Kat was the perfect host too - she was very responsive and fast in all of our communications. Highly recommended! "
202755,8685634,2013-11-12,3459780,Allie,"Kat was a great host and the house perfectly met our needs. A few girlfriends and I met up in Austin for the weekend and this space was more than adequate for our stay. Additionally, I don't drive - being so centrally located made this a non issue as I was able to quickly walk to wherever I wanted/needed to go. You couldn't be in a better location to experience everything Austin. "
202755,8778935,2013-11-18,618947,Tobias,We stayed here during the Formula 1 weekend. Great location and comfortable and quiet cottage with great options to share rooms. We were taken care of very well and handing over keys was painless.
202755,9542537,2014-01-02,5321102,Alissa,"Great house in a great location! My party of two couples (and our dog) stayed here over New Years. There is construction going on next door, which was a concern upon arrival, but luckily the bedrooms are on the other side of the house and you could hardly hear the construction with the doors closed. The kitchen was fully stocked when we arrived - Kat even bought orange juice, milk and muffins so we would be set for breakfast. Kat was very receptive to inquiries and left us a great list of suggested restaurants, music venues, shopping, etc., many of which are within walking distance of the house. Great place!
"
202755,10985441,2014-03-16,5070053,Niki,Our 2nd year staying in your cottage and it's still as wonderful as ever! Excellent communication and very helpful. Great working with you again Kat and we look forward to next year :-) All the best!
202755,13102369,2014-05-19,14987533,Serge,"Host was great! She responded to my questions and was very accomodating to me and my 4 friends.  She even had pastries, milk and orange juice waiting for us upon our arrival!  

Location was very good. It's a 10 minute walk (if that) to SoCo and all the bars/shops.  Downtown was an easy 30 minute walk and perfect late night walking distance to burn off some extra calories.

The house itself was as described. Cozy, but with enough room to for 5 professional guys to feel comfortable.  We stayed Thurs-Sun and didn't notice any noise coming from the construction. 

I'd certainly recommend and stay here again!"
202755,13442596,2014-05-27,8713591,Aidan,"Highly recommended.  SoCo location provides a perfect homebase for walking, biking, cabbing around Austin.   Great cafés, restaurants, and music.   House is very clean and well maintained, good air conditioning, and tastefully decorated.  Washer and dryer is a big plus.   We would definitely stay here again. "
202755,20906397,2014-10-07,20571460,Clay,"This place was absolutely perfect for five guys.  We were able to walk 2-3 minutes to SoCo and everything was very convenient.  Our host Kat was outstanding and provided beer upon arrival and took care of any of our concerns.  In fact, the dryer was having a malfunction and she came and got our laundry and returned it clean within a couple of hours! Amazing!  Couldn't have asked for a cooler, quaint house in a quiet neighborhood.  Will definitely be back!"
202755,21278423,2014-10-14,17526287,Thea,"We stayed at the cottage for a music festival in Austin. It was great place to stay for this event, centrally located to all that is hip Austin. It was quiet, clean and comfortable in a great South Congress neighborhood. Kat made us feel very welcome with some local goodies waiting for us upon arrival. We would definitely recommend the cottage and stay there again. Thanks Kat!!!!!"
202755,22355997,2014-11-04,18153227,Chris,We visited for the US Grand Prix weekend and found this house to be exactly what we needed! It's in a cute and quiet neighborhood right off South Congress so there is plenty of stuff walking distance or a short cab ride away. Downtown/6th at is only 3-5 min by car. Would definitely come back here for future Austin trips!
202755,22924715,2014-11-17,23124263,John,"Kat was a fabulous host, and was very accommodating to our needs during the stay, telling us where to find things etc. The cottage was exactly as advertised, and a very easy walk to South Congress, my favourite part of Austin. I would definitely stay there again, and have no hesitation in recommending the property."
202755,23348906,2014-11-29,24046264,Matt,Kat was great. This cool little house was super convenient to South Congress with most shops and restaurants within a 5-10 minute walk. Even the South 1st zone was not much further. 
202755,30425578,2015-04-21,24384575,Ian,"Location, Convenience, Beauty!  This place has it all.  This cabin is in the middle of an incredible modern neighborhood, surrounded by amazing remodeled homes.  This cabin is so well kept and is quaint and perfect for a long weekend of experiencing Austin!

If I lived in Austin, this is where I'd live!  Thanks, Kat!"
202755,30864100,2015-04-28,25227852,Greg,Great house in a great location!
202755,33429234,2015-05-28,27845327,Lisa,"Kat was a very responsive and friendly host. The house the four of us stayed in was in a quiet and well located neighborhood near South Congress and we were able to walk to many places. However, the house itself was in need of better lighting in the living room/dining area. It was difficult to read in the main room. Also, the bed in the front bedroom was very creaky, as were the floors in the house. We also detected a mildewy odor in the house. The back patio was not inviting to use and the property around the house, in general, needed to be cleaned up and made more presentable. On the plus side, the house was equipped with whatever we needed. This was our first airbnb rental and we were somewhat disappointed. "
202755,33783826,2015-06-01,377563,Christine,"Kat was communicative, clear, and kept a very cozy home for myself and my friends. It was a perfect home base for us in Austin and I'd love to come back to stay again!"
202755,36680740,2015-06-30,484411,Eileen,"We were in Austin for our son's wedding and thought the location of this home was wonderful! We could walk to South Congress and to 1st street, although we drove on some trips because it was pretty hot in late June. We walked up to Doc's for a nightcap three of the nights. We were almost ""regulars"".  
The kitchen was great, although we didn't cook much. The bed in the Master bedroom was good. The shower in bathroom that connected to the Master bedroom had pretty low water pressure, so we used the shower in the other bathroom, which was terrific! 
My son did ok on the other bed although the bed lost a slat during the night, which woke him up but he didn't seem to mind. He was used to IKEA type beds!
The instructions and suggestions from Kat were great. It all worked perfectly in that regard. We had a great wedding and a great stay."
202755,49772349,2015-10-06,39085611,Danielle,"This was a great house and exactly what we were looking for!  Kat was very accommodating with the booking process, and even had fresh coffee and breakfast items available upon arrival.  Check in and check out were very straight forward.  The location was perfect - very central to so much in Austin, and a great location for a stay during ACL.  Thanks so much! "
202755,52206608,2015-10-27,26308544,Charles,Kat was very responsive to emails when I booked and extremely helpful. She went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of. The house was brilliantly located for South Congress and we walked there every evening for dinner. 
883802,3515095,2013-02-11,3687661,Elizabeth,"Angel's house is beautiful! There is beautiful artwork in every room, eclectic furniture that all goes together somehow and everything is very clean. My friends and I went to Austin for my bday weekend and the house is close by to everything! We definitely will be coming back!"
883802,3539765,2013-02-14,315019,Katie,"Waking up in the morning to fresh eggs laid by chickens on site (in downtown Austin) is probably one of the most exceptional airbnb experiences we've had so far. Beautiful house, excellent hosts, close enough to walk to 6th street where all the bars and restaruants are located. Definitely highly recommended! "

883802,3779191,2013-03-14,4206879,Monika,"Angel was a really welcoming and helpful host. The house was comfortable, in a lovely Austin's area and a short walk to all of the restaurants and bars. It was everything my colleagues and me needed during our stay at SXSW.  
I'd definitely like to stay there again next time around. "
883802,3813969,2013-03-18,4449076,Yvonne,"I had a really good time staying with Angel. The house was very cozy and charming. My friend and I stayed with her during our stay at SXSW, and I'm really glad we did. I would definitely book with her the next time I'm in Austin."
883802,3875253,2013-03-23,5549604,Christine,"Comfortable, quiet and an easy walk to all of the restaurants and bars you could want. Angel's place was clean, quirky and bright. Just what we love about Austin. "
883802,3972798,2013-04-01,4744724,Rachel,"Angel is a lovely person and her place is fantastic! My husband and I stayed at her place for several nights while I was presenting a paper at a conference at UT, and in addition to the house's convenient location, it was wonderful to be able to come back every evening to a cozy, homelike space. Additionally, it is walking distance to many fantastic places downtown. On our first evening there, we walked to the Texas State Capitol building on a whim, and it was super fun to see it all lit up at night. Angel was a gracious and helpful hostess: in addition to telling us about local eateries, she also helped me find a copy center when I had some last-minute printing needs. We definitely plan on staying with her again, next time we are in Austin!"
883802,4065734,2013-04-07,3817207,Alicia,Great accommodations.  Deceptively close to lots of food trailers and downtown Austin.  Thanks for all of your flexibility with our family.... we would definitely stay here again!
883802,4115718,2013-04-11,3817207,Alicia,"Thank you Angel for creating such a homey atmosphere.  This was a perfect place for our family while away from home. The beds, kitchen, backyard, and chickens were perfect.  Also the house is deceptively close to many food trailers.... not too far to walk with littles ones :) We would definitely stay here again!"
883802,4181508,2013-04-16,2475297,Carolyn,"I booked the homestead for a birthday weekend with friends, and we could not have been happier! The place was totally charming with plenty of room for five people, and we loved hanging out with the chickens and having fresher-than-fresh eggs for breakfast. And the location was ideal, on a peaceful block but still walking distance to a ton of great food and bars—Angel left us a guide to fun places nearby which was super helpful. We all agreed it was the perfect introduction to an awesome city. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat...if I don't end up moving to Austin!"
883802,4266321,2013-04-23,5039132,Josh,"Angel and her place were great, even better than expected. She goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy the house and Austin.  And the chickens are beautiful and friendly.  The location is also very convenient to the newer east side as well as downtown.  We would stay there again if. We make it back to Austin without a doubt."
883802,4356353,2013-04-30,242462,Veronique,"Angel is a great host! We had access to pretty much all the house and the kitchen is very nice to cook in. The yard is extremely welcoming with seats, vegetables garden, a pecan tree and some friendly hens who are fun to feed. We had our private bathroom which is great in a private house. The home itself is close to downtown and a lot of Austin's attractions. (7-10$ cab ride from 6th Street bars!) Also, the fact that there are 2 separate rooms was very appreciated."
883802,4464359,2013-05-06,6123161,Van,"My wife and close friends went to Austin to celebrate my graduation. We searched Airbnb and found this lovely home that accommodates 8 people that is near Rainy Street. Angel guided me through the process as this was my first time using Airbnb, and was easy to communicate with. 

Angel was well prepared for us! She provided breakfast and even an extremely detailed binder with maps of happening spots. Next time we visit Austin, I will definitely get in touch with Angel. Highly recommended!"
883802,4698389,2013-05-21,4013939,Holly,"Angel's house was perfect!  Stocked kitchen, spacious, fresh eggs from the chickens, conveniently located close to campus and downtown, bikes, laundry, Netflix.. She had it all.  I'd recommend this place for anyone.  My family (including a 3-year-old nephew) was in town for my graduation and they loved that we could stay in and cook meals.  Angel was great - friendly, hospitable, always available if we had any questions.  You will not regret booking this place!"
883802,5444599,2013-06-30,1851703,Illy,Great place to stay. Angel was great at accommodating our family last minute. The house is very spacious and located close to all the spots we needed to be. I would definitely stay again. 
883802,5680618,2013-07-11,6989026,Chelsea,"Angel's place was very adorable and clean! The location is excellent, it's a very short walking distance from some great East Austin restaurants (we liked Hillside Farmacy) and attractions (it's literally right next door to the George Washington Carver museum, which is worth a visit). The capitol and surrounding areas are also walkable.

The chickens are super friendly and cute! You will want some backyard chickens after staying here. Overall it was a great place to stay and totally fit in with the whole Austin vibe."
883802,5757516,2013-07-15,5213921,Celeste,"Angel's charming house was absolutely perfect for my family. We felt right at home immediately, and the place was clean and fully stocked with everything we could possibly want or need, from backyard-fresh eggs to shampoo. Epic meals were cooked, good times were had. The location was a quick drive to all of our wedding-related activities downtown. I would definitely stay at the Homestead again and again!"
883802,6422987,2013-08-12,897672,Carline,"Angel's house is charming and spacious, and close to bus lines to get you anywhere around Austin. We loved the diva chickens in the backyard and appreciated their fresh eggs for breakfast. From clean linens and lavender soaps to access to bikes and a well-stocked pantry, her home reflects her thoughtful personality. Angel also gave cool recommendations of things to do around the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Angel, and we look
forward to staying here again! ""Girl you're my Angel, you're my darling Angel"" Truer words were never spoken."
883802,6798887,2013-08-25,7305349,Samantha,"Angel's house was awesome! The house was clean, homey, quirky and just a fun place to stay. Angel herself was very helpful and gave quick responses. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who is looking to visit the Austin area. "

883802,8136177,2013-10-17,3335872,Sandra,"Angel took good care of us, she left us treats for breakfast & was in constant communication, the house was fun and clean. Just be prepared to drive everywhere because Austin is spread out!
"
883802,8215619,2013-10-21,8660421,Jeremiah,"Spent a weekend at this house and it was just as advertised, it worked out great. Highly recommend if visiting Austin. "
883802,8346740,2013-10-27,8409932,Celeste,"Great location and great house!  Very eclectic and clean with necessary items available. Angel was availabe by phone for prompt communication and check-in/check-out was so easy and convenient!  We ate out mostly, but the garden looked awesome.  Would recommend to a friend. Thanks!"
883802,8563772,2013-11-05,8917405,Candice,"Angel's house was great. A great deal for the amount of space and for being so close to everything. We were able to get downtown in just a couple of minutes. The kids loved playing in the backyard, checking out the gardens and visiting with the chickens. :)"
883802,8684568,2013-11-12,4953125,Joanne,"We had a wonderful stay at Angel's house, everything was fantastic. It's in a great area, nice spots for dinner really close by and everything in the city was easy to access...we didn't have a car and got around just fine!! The house is very welcoming and has everything that we needed for a very relaxing home away from home stay! All communication with Angel was extremely pleasant and helpful...especially when I accidentally locked us all out of the house ;) Wouldn't hesitate to stay here on my next trip to Austin! Thanks for everything Angel! "
883802,9219659,2013-12-14,4836797,Jessica,This place is awesome!! So whimsical and cool - totally made our Austin trip really fun!  The house is a perfect share! Great location too
883802,9352066,2013-12-23,10396533,Beth,"We had an amazing girls weekend/ batchelorette / bridal shower all in one... The house is so freakin cute! And well equipped!   Very close to everything --  easy to show people not lucky enough to live here what they should see --- and  perfectly comfortable for our group of 6.... Plus Angel was so very awesome , flexible and accommodating -- I would recommend staying at this little gem to anyone ;) ! "
883802,9471776,2013-12-30,7660788,David,Rad place to stay.  Angel was very communicative and the house is in a great location.  Very spacious living with lots of Austin style. Loved the AV hook up and comfort of the home.  Perfect house for reunion of friends and family.
883802,9614570,2014-01-03,3260346,Martin,"Good location, nice house and no problems with the host. Be sure to hang out along east 6th avenue. Nice touch with netflix"
883802,9965209,2014-01-21,1434270,Jennifer,"My parents happened to be coming through Austin on my last day of a weekend visit, so we decided to rent Angel's place to have a good place to hangout.  We spent the afternoon playing spades and watching my toddler talk to the chickens, we had a great meal at Parkside, and then we came back home and watched a movie.  It was a great day, and we were grateful to have a nice place to stay. 

 We locked ourselves out at one point, and Angel fixed the problem in 10 seconds.  

The neighborhood was great.  We were a short walk to vintage heart coffee and a bunch of really good places to eat like Quis and Eastside King.  We were right next to a great library and awesome playground as well.  And we were about 5 minutes from downtown.  We would definitely stay here again."
883802,10041972,2014-01-27,8797139,Victoria,"Great Place! Six of us stayed here for one night and really enjoyed the time (especially the chickens).  The house is cute, comfortable, and spacious. Angel gave clear directions about the house, neighborhood, and how to check in and out.  She was also flexible with our check in time which was very helpful.  The location is convenient and it's a nice walk to the East 6th St. restaurants and bars.  The house and yard are so pleasant that we wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of them."
883802,10260378,2014-02-10,5304724,Priya,"We stayed at Angel's for my best friend's bachelorette party and it was like staying with a friend. Her home is lovely, comfortable and just a great place to hang out in between checking out the attractions around Austin. I recommend anyone to Angel's if they visit Austin."
883802,10458521,2014-02-19,411867,Pete,"Angel's place was lovely, well decorated, and very convenient.  Her guidebook was spot on with excellent places to visit for food or local fun.  Would stay again!"
883802,10774659,2014-03-07,995581,Anna,"Super cute, comfy place close to shops/restaurants on 11th and a quick jaunt to downtown. Definitely would stay there again!"
883802,10979557,2014-03-16,5213356,Brandon,"Angel was an awesome host, very communicative before we even booked, leading up to our stay, and even when I had to wake her up at 3am when we locked ourselves out, she was a total sweetheart.  Btw, don't lock yourselves out!"
883802,11215743,2014-03-25,11486417,Cael,"The house was fun, charming and clean.  Everything met or exceeded our expectations.  Angel responded promptly when we had any questions.  Would definitely return."
883802,11523708,2014-04-06,1111002,Sofya,"Angel is a very inspiring person! I was so impressed with her cool house and all the work she put into it, and she was so fun to hang out with! We even went out about town and had a great time! She was so kind to me and my dog, it felt like staying with a good friend (which is a great thing in a new city).  The room and the bed were super comfortable, and it was great to have a guest bathroom with all the cool furniture. The whole house is full of cool furniture! She's such a conscientious host that your questions will be answered before you even think of them. For real. You should definitely definitely stay here. Maybe forever. "
883802,11797103,2014-04-15,12452432,Jason,"Comfortable setting, ease of access in and out. Pleasure to stay at the house, Angel has thought of all the little touches, including Suncreen etc.. Would stay here again on the next trip to Austin. "
883802,12602879,2014-05-06,9537513,Cailyn,"Friends and I stayed at Angel's for 4 nights and loved it.  This house exemplifies everything I like about lodging with airbnb with friends--having our own spaces, but also having a kitchen to cook in for group meals, refrigerator to keep our wine, conversations around the table, stereo for listening to music, and a nice sunny backyard.  You simply can't live that free and easy in a hotel.   The house was very clean and I admired the decor.  Walking downtown was safe at night, and was a little over a mile that we didn't mind.  Getting to explore East Austin was a bonus that I didn't expect.  Convenience store with the staples plus a surprisingly good beer selection, wine store, brunch spots, food truck park, and gourmet delis were all within 3 blocks or so.  Communication with the host was via email and text and she was very responsive, no problems at all.  I would definitely recommend this house and hope to visit again next year!"
883802,12679535,2014-05-07,5627593,Brianna,"we booked angel's house at the last moment, and it ended up being perfect for us. angel was very accommodating (especially considering the last minute reservation), the place was tidy, and there was everything we needed in the home. it's an incredibly spacious, cosy home - with uber comfy beds and couches (which was really all we wanted after a long travel!). very homestead-esque with the chickens, decor, and backyard. great location, close to some nice restaurants and an easy walk to east 6th street. would definitely recommend for a group of friends visiting austin or a family!"
883802,13132407,2014-05-20,7131367,Shannon,"Angel was very flexible with our arrival and departure times. There was a slight mixup  with the key code for the door, but once that was straightened out, everything was smooth sailing. The house is a great home base from which to explore Austin with a crew of friends. Several delicious restaurants and a great grocery are all within walking distance. Some beds are squishier than others, but I think everyone got a good night's sleep made even better by the popovers Angel had left for us. If you are skeptical about bunking with chickens, don't be. They are very well behaved."
883802,13343695,2014-05-26,7705419,Amanda,"The host left easy instructions for us and everything was as expected.  I wish we had taken the time to eat some greens and eggs from the garden and coop!  The house is in a great little neighborhood that sometimes gets a bad rap, but it's easily accessible to downtown, and all of the hip east side.  My friends and I had a great time.   Thanks Angel!

"
883802,13598973,2014-06-01,6066223,Liz,"We stayed at Angel's wonderful home with five adults and one toddler. It was very clean, cozy, and cool. She showed my three-year-old niece how to feed her chickens and she hasn't stopped talking about it since. I would definitely stay at any of Angel's properties again (this was our second stay)."
883802,14311072,2014-06-16,16310307,Keegan,"Everything went as expected. Myself and 7 others stayed for 3 nights in this great pad. Close walk to restaurants and bars of East Austin, also walkable to the infamous 6th street."
883802,15705356,2014-07-14,6775317,Micah,"This was an ideal Air B&B experience.  The host was very communicative ahead of time, the house was clean, and she even left our group some tasty food!  High recommended!"
883802,19163484,2014-09-07,465370,New,"It was exactly what I was expecting! Very cute and welcoming.i had some cute popovers made from the eggs if the gals out back! Easy access into the house. Literally a couple of blocks away from downtown. 
Really an enjoyable experience "
883802,19924275,2014-09-21,16326614,Nick,Awesome house with character and a ton of ameneties. Moderate walk or short uber to all central austin fun. Walk straight south to 6th and 7th for bars etc. Angel was great and available to help. Amazing value for the money aa well. 100% would recommend.
883802,20830484,2014-10-06,5316534,Heidi,"The place was exactly as described. We loved this experience. Angel was a perfect host and the house and chickens were amazing. 
We will definitely try to book with Angel for our next Austin trip. "
883802,22264683,2014-11-02,2440933,Kara,Comfortable and convenient.
883802,23147479,2014-11-24,20845367,Kristen,"I came to Austin with 4 friends so that we could all have a girl's weekend in a place that none of us had ever been before.  This house was the perfect size to fit us all comfortably, and it was within walking distance to plenty of bars, stores, and eateries.  Angel was a great host, and even left us plenty of snacks and drinks so that we wouldn't have to go out for every meal if we didn't want to.  I would definitely recommend staying here!"
883802,23320877,2014-11-29,20404002,Latay,"Angel's place is in a great location, she provides suggestions on near by restaurants and attractions and it's quite adorable! I felt like I was staying at my aunts house; welcoming, charming and rustic. I would stay here again! "
883802,23648528,2014-12-07,23579878,Bryant,Angel's house was exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. We had five of us in our party and the house had plenty of room for all of us. It was nicely situated for where we were going and many places were within walking distance. It was also very clean and there were plenty of towels provided.
883802,24578091,2014-12-31,16926329,D,"Austin is a vibrant city with many great food, music and artistic opportunities.  Recommend the Blanton Art Museum, which has many interesting types of art, informative information about each piece and even poems about many pieces displayed next to them.  Lamberts on 2nd was a favorite restaurant.  Sunsets at the Oasis (1/2 hr by car) are special, but eat appetizers and go elsewhere for dinner.  The famous 6th Ave is 1.3 mi away but there are many other hotspots, similarly for BBQ.

Angel is a great AirBnB hostess, enthusiastic, quick and thorough with her communications, and thoughtful in stocking basics (organic type) for breakfasts (you can harvest chicken eggs and herbs from her garden as well).  She is very knowledgeable about Austin and willingly shares suggestions for whatever you are interested in. The home is spacious with older furniture and eclectic decor, though with limited space for guest clothes.  "
883802,24656365,2015-01-01,5740172,Sydney,We had a great time at Angel's house and she was an excellent host. She responded promptly to all questions and had the house stocked with everything we needed and then some! Strongly recommend staying here on your next trip to Austin. 
883802,25036183,2015-01-05,14043121,Phoenix,"Angel's house was in a great location, within walking distance to most of the good bars and restaurants in East Austin. The house was also cute and well decorated. Angel was helpful concerning most of our questions that came up during our stay, and had some great recommendations of what to do in the neighborhood. There were some problems with the amenities/cleanliness that Angel was less responsive to. Otherwise, we had a pretty good experience."
883802,25545549,2015-01-19,3739903,Ashley,"Our stay at the urban homestead was great! My friends and I were in Austin for a long weekend, and it was great to have a house that was so conveniently located- close to downtown and nearby shops/restaurants. Angel had so many resources and recommendations for Austin must-sees and must-eats. The house was just as pictured and very clean, and she was so hospital to provide breakfast. Wifi and chromecast were a great added bonus! Angel even stopped by to see how we were doing and gave us even more recommendations for places to see. We felt very welcomed and well hosted! Would definitely stay here again when in Austin."
883802,25791763,2015-01-26,24272102,Steve,Angel was a great host. The house is in a great location to get to any spots on 6th street and Angel left a great guide book to help get around. Really could not recommend this anymore for an awesome time in Austin
883802,27994785,2015-03-16,4986682,Janna,The house was amazing and Angel was very accommodating!
883802,29349165,2015-04-06,15689800,Susanna,"Angel was a great host. The space was nice, awesome to be able to use bikes. I loved Austin and she gave good suggestions of where to go and what to do. Home is very near to everything there is to do in Austin. Angel was hospitable and friendly and a good host! "
883802,29694631,2015-04-11,635183,Daniel,"I didn't spend a lot of time at the house and only ran into Angel once, but we had a nice chat about my trip and her thoughts on Austin, the food scene and the changes the city is undergoing.
Angel's house is in a great location, nice neighbourhood, very close to everything that I wanted to see, but far enough removed to feel at peace.
She has also set up some great systems for guests to easily come and go.
I would definitely stay here again on future visits to Austin."
883802,30573041,2015-04-24,18562116,Iris,"We had a great time here! Angel's house is beautiful and very centrally located. I was impressed by its dual flush toilet, beautiful green yard and proximity to yummy food and the bike share stations. We used only bikes and Uber to get around, which was totally affordable. Angel is an experienced host and was very friendly with good advice for activities and a helpful guide. Her house just really good to stay in. Towels and snacks were well-stocked and we enjoyed the fresh eggs in the morning! There were other guests there during our stay, but they were all friendly and we never had to fight for the bathroom or kitchen. "
883802,31158642,2015-05-03,22504226,Susan,"We enjoyed the chickens, used the bikes and appreciated your attention to details like the Brita, breakfast, and good communication skills.  Austin is a great city!  Thank you Angel!  We hope you found everything to your satisfaction."
883802,33071767,2015-05-25,2299549,Trevor,"Angel's house was great and check in and check out was incredibly easy. We didn't actually meet Angel, but she was a friendly host and responsive in communications. Everything worked out smoothly and she even left us snacks and the fresh eggs from the golden girls were a great bonus.  Overall the house was clean, spacious and just what we were looking for. Thanks for a great stay."
883802,33534475,2015-05-29,11196102,Lucy,"Me and my boyfriend stayed at Angel's Urban Homestead for two lovely nights. She has an awesome home with a great kitchen and great set-up. Angel was an incredible host - so kind and generous - she even popped open a cold beer for us when we arrived after our 9hr drive from New Orleans. She had bikes that we used to get around the restaurants and bars nearby. The location was perfect. It felt like a little oasis in the city. 
Also, she makes the best sauces & pickles and the fresh eggs available to cook for breakfast were to die for. Would 100% recommend this place to stay."
883802,34039473,2015-06-03,34584736,Kelly,We stayed with Angel during the Austin flooding.  Our place got about an inch and half of water.  We just needed a place for a short time period because we didn't want to stay with friends.  Angel's place has amazing energy to it and was a nice little escape from our damage apartment.
883802,34759396,2015-06-11,27871382,Curtis,Angel rocked. She is awesome and the room was great. The eggs were delicious and the bike was fun to ride down to Lady Bird lake. You should definitely stay with Angel. She really made it feel like I belonged. Best AirBnB experience yet.
883802,36024634,2015-06-24,20331995,Kate,"Angel was a fantastic host. Her recommendations were endless and much appreciated, and her bikes for use definitely made my stay an adventure :) 

The house was so lovely, charming, clean and relaxing to stay in. Plus the location was great - walking distance to East Austin's hub of bars and restaurants, and also in a quiet residential setting. I highly recommend this place to any first-time Austin visitor (as I was) because the stay with Angel definitely made me want to come back! "
883802,36216326,2015-06-26,11872585,Taylor,"Our trip to Austin was made stellar by our stay with Angel. Her house felt like home! All amenities were provided, down to the last detail. We had a blast taking her bikes out for a spin down to Barton Springs. While our stay was short, Angel was able to give us suggestions that facilitated a grand trip. We would return in a heartbeat! "
883802,36495198,2015-06-28,9339664,Emmanuelle,"Angel was very accommodating, we arrived pretty late on the first night and she just said: ""Make yourself at home and I'll see you tomorrow morning!"" We were already charmed. Angel's house is welcoming, we had a really good breakfast made by Angel's boyfriend, Johnny. They gave us good inputs for places to visit and eat. If you're looking for a place in a nice neihborhood next to downtown Austin, this is the place!"
883802,37230621,2015-07-05,36273934,Ariella,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and staying at Angel's made it even better! Angel is warm and welcoming hostess and we found her to be knowledgeable and helpful when it came to local, fun ways to enjoy Austin. Her home was clean, the room was very comfortable and the amenities were perfect. We particularly enjoyed using the bikes to explore the city. We would highly recommend Angel's Urban Farm to anyone traveling to Austin,
"
883802,37888687,2015-07-11,3032429,Allison,"Angel was a terrific host! Her house was eclectic and adorable and the room had great light and a comfy bed. She had lots of snacks including eggs from her chickens (which were delicious) and the bathroom was stocked with everything from extra towels to a hair dryer. The location of her house was great too - my husband and I were able to walk everywhere in East Austin and even to downtown with ease. We also used her bikes to go to Barton Springs which was a great way to see more of Austin. Angel was great with communication and is so sweet. She even let us leave our suitcases at her home after check-out since our flight was later in the day. Overall, it was the perfect place to spend our last few days in Austin :) "
883802,39132725,2015-07-20,32219158,Robert,"My husband and I decided to explore Austin for our 5th anniversary and we could not have picked a better host/location. It was our first Airbnb experience, and a terrific one! The house is located in a perfect area to bike to food trucks, bars (around 6th St.) and really just anywhere in east/downtown Austin (we also knee boarded on the river, went to Barton Springs and rode around the entire Austin biking/jogging trail which we highly recommend). We utilized her bicycles for the long weekend, leaving our car parked safely in her driveway. Angel was immediately welcoming, giving us tips on where to go and what to do, and offering us a refreshing beverage upon arrival. We very quickly felt right at home and the room and accommodations were exactly as pictured; very clean and comfortable. A+ rating and we will definitely stay with Angel again, when we head back to beautiful Austin TX!"
883802,40841435,2015-08-02,9794442,Felsha,"The listing and description were accurate. Angel's home was quaint, rustic, and a beautiful ""base"" to explore Austin from. She had snacks for us (cereals, nuts, and fresh eggs from the backyard chickens!), her location was amazing (short walk to bars, nightlife, downtown, etc), and she had plenty of information which we could utilize to make our stay even better. "
883802,44264644,2015-08-24,11279668,Chilee,"The home was exactly as described. Lovely, just lovely home and the room was bright. clean and comfy. The location was perfect for my stay. Angel was very welcoming and super helpful with suggestions on where to go. I will definitely be back."
883802,45723024,2015-09-05,39734176,Ashley,"This place was great! The location was very central to all the best stuff in Austin, and was also in a really nice and safe area. The house itself was adorable, with everything you could need during your stay available. We never got a chance to meet our host, but a book left out in the main room included maps of good areas to go out, including a brief rating and description, which we ended up using and found some great places to go out. In all, couldn't ask for anything different, the place was awesome, and our host was great!"
883802,46292103,2015-09-09,39462055,Roy,Angel was the consummate hostess. She really made me feel comfortable. It was a pleasure to join her and boyfriend Johnnie for brunch and art show. Was a wonderful first airbnb experience. 
883802,52268342,2015-10-27,9269367,Alexandra,Angel was really quite wonderful and accommodating! It was a pleasure staying at her cozy home. 
1725964,12689737,2014-05-08,10034784,Adrienne,"we had another great trip to austin and enjoyed our stay here. forrest was kind enough to leave towels and shampoo out on all the beds, reminiscent of staying at a hotel. coming from nyc... theres just nothing like coming home to shiners in the fridge and enjoying one on the front porch in the afternoon. 

thanks guys. 
adrienne"
1725964,14939403,2014-06-29,1523339,Omar,"We've stayed in 5 different Airbnbs in Austin so far and Forrest's house, professionalism, and treatment was by far the best. The place is cozy and perfect if you need a 3 bedroom place. We got so comfortable that it started to feel like home! He had a professional binder spelling out any questions we needed answered, and we knew exactly what we needed to do when checking in and checking out based on the checklist he provided. "
1725964,19754934,2014-09-17,7863928,Andrew,"The house was set up perfectly with a welcome booklet and fresh towels. House has anything we needed. Laundry, kitchen tools, iron and board, etc...

The house is a great space with 3 separate rooms. Comfortable living room and also large kitchen. 

Would highly recommend for visiting Austin, quiet area, yet close to most fun, food and drink. "
1725964,21250558,2014-10-13,22061364,Renee,"I was a first time user with airbnb, and I wasn't too sure what to expect.  I left inquiries with several hosts, Forrest was super prompt to respond and very friendly.  I later emailed him a question and he called me back, we had a quick chat in which he pointed out some really great things to do and areas to go see.  He made sure we checked in fine and was super hospitable.  I loved the house, the location was awesome, you're nestled in right where you want to be. You are close enough to the bars, restaurants, and Zilker Park, and everything else is just a short ride away. We loved hanging out on the front and back patio, we used the cute kitchen to make breakfast daily, and the bedrooms were spacious and separate for just enough privacy.  The house was cute and clean we would definitely recommend it again."
1725964,21586739,2014-10-20,20296446,Joy,"Absolutely loved our stay at Forrest and Emily's while my coworkers and I were in town on business. Quaint, cozy and perfectly decorated, we all felt right at home. I loved that each room had a desk which made it extremely easy to work. The beds were comfy, rooms were spacious and the decor really tied it all together. If you're looking for a place to stay in Austin, I recommend this east side  bungalow. Thanks again for opening your home to us! We will be back! :-)"
1725964,21878729,2014-10-26,12968247,Sarah,"Loved this house! Everything was extremely clean, the backyard is adorable, bedrooms were very nice, and it's a perfect convenient location in Austin! I will definitely stay here again next time I am in town. Forrest and Emily were great hosts, they helped us find an excellent bike rental and were really easy to get in touch with. I highly recommend staying here it was the perfect place!"
1725964,22343327,2014-11-03,13555985,Ben,The house and location were perfect for us.  Easy access and cheap uber rides to downtown & SoCo.
1725964,23225938,2014-11-25,13095721,Michael,Charming house in a quiet neighborhood just a short ride from downtown. Forrest and Emily were extremely gracious and responsive hosts. Highly recommended!
1725964,23917151,2014-12-14,4825040,Vy,Forrest's house was as pictured and comfortable.  The neighborhood was quiet and in a great location.  We appreciate the welcome binder with your suggestions of nearby food.  Thanks for the hospitality!  
1725964,25876051,2015-01-28,24671449,Deb,"We really enjoyed our stay in Forrest's lovely house. It is very clean and updated and comfortable. It is in a fun neighborhood and very accessible to restaurants and downtown. We really enjoyed being to walk down to the river (lake?) for a run, it's a great added bonus. Would definitely stay here again!"
1725964,26224810,2015-02-07,4484354,Rich,Our stay at Forrest's house was nothing short of perfect! I was in Austin for a conference at the convention centre and the house was located less than 5 minutes away from the city centre. All of the bedrooms were nicely sized and were spaced out so everyone enjoyed their privacy. Check in and check out were a breeze. I would stay here again in a second. Thanks Forrest and Emily!
1725964,26980623,2015-02-23,1327883,Karen,3 adult couples shared this space comfortably for a long weekend. After we arrived we realized the house had no hot water and Forrest was quick to communicate and get on the issue. It was fixed within an hour at most. We were so grateful he had the water fixed promptly and he even offered to come wait for the plumber if we had somewhere to be. Everything was perfectly appointed in the home. I would stay here again.
1725964,27615832,2015-03-08,7035227,Stanley,"Good place, good location. Enjoyable experience."
1725964,28066662,2015-03-17,8609760,Kate,"The bungalow is a really beautiful and comfortable home to stay in! A colleague of mine and I stayed here while attending the SXSW Interactive conference this year, and it was a wonderful place to come home to after such long days. Forrest's communication was super quick and helpful, making checking in and out a breeze. It's a spacious and incredibly clean home in a quiet neighborhood a brisk walk or short cab ride to all the fun things Austin has to offer. "
1725964,28296226,2015-03-22,2760844,Emily,Forrest's house worked out perfectly for our stay during SXSW; the location was convenient to downtown Austin and easily accessible. The house was very clean and nicely laid out and was just what we needed. Forrest made the check in and out process seamless. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely look to come back to this house next year!
1725964,31207051,2015-05-03,17777850,Djuna,"We really enjoyed staying in this cute house.  When we arrived really late from traveling there were exactly 3 beers in the fridge (and 3 of us at that time) and it was just what we needed.  There was also coffee to make in the morning which was much appreciated!  The neighborhood is really cute and it has some good food and markets in the area in walking distance...not to mention the park along the river just down the street.  Forrest was also nice enough to let us do a late checkout on Sunday and store our bags at the house until 6pm when we were leaving for the airport.  The house itself is cute, the bathrooms are very small but totally functional, the beds were comfortable and the backyard is huge and lovely...it's also basically a bird sanctuary back there."
1725964,31906124,2015-05-11,5355304,Tessa,"Forrest's home was the perfect place during our stay in Austin. The backyard is beautiful, the house is clean and equipped with all necessary amenities, and the neighborhood was great. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin!"
1725964,33068146,2015-05-25,6622276,Sarah,Forrest was awesome. Provided us with all of the information we needed for arrival and checkout. Easy! The place is in the perfect place for a quick walk on Town Lake and there are several cool bars nearby!
1725964,34382005,2015-06-07,34229543,Andrew,"The house was great! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Forrest's house. We requested an early check-in on the morning that we were due to move in to the house and Forrest was more than willing to help us.  The beds were comfortable, had a large backyard, and the entertainment area was great. 

Do recommend. "
1725964,35506843,2015-06-19,2923360,Frederic,"Good place, quiet and very well furnished"
1725964,36501249,2015-06-29,26158727,Olivia,"Forrest was a great host and thought of every little detail, from guidebooks to laundry detergent. This charming bungalow in East Austin was in the heart of hip east Austin, close to restaurants,nightlife and 6th street. Spacious, clean and cozy, this bungalow served as the perfect accommodations for our party. "
1725964,37225171,2015-07-05,21505849,Tiffany,"This house was absolutely perfect for our weekend away as group. Forrest and his wife thought of EVERYTHING - the place was set up perfectly for guests. It was clean, spacious, stocked with toiletries, and looks just like the pictures. Also, there's a gorgeous backyard area that we really enjoyed.

Location was perfect for walking to Rainey or taking short Uber rides to South Congress and 6th St. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Thanks so much for everything!"
1725964,38015034,2015-07-12,21917516,Mary,Forrest was a great and easy host. The house was exactly as described! 
1725964,38869248,2015-07-19,28704127,Brittney,"We had such a great time! We were 3 couples and this house was the perfect spot with beds big enough for all of us. It is in a cute neighborhood near a lot of places. Forrest provided a large binder full of information about Austin and the area, including restaurant and activity recommendations. We had a lot of fun!"
1725964,39821815,2015-07-26,13079576,Oscar,"We had a full house--two couples plus two friends staying together. This location worked out perfect as it provided three beds plus a couch if needed for sleeping. It was clean and Forrest provided a folder full of information about Austin, maps, and things to see. It's conveniently located and the neighborhood feels safe and walk friendly. The backyard is huge and a great space for hanging out, drinking, or grilling.

Two caveats from our stay: 1) immediately upon entering we were greeted by a cockroach smack in the middle of the guest bedroom. After settling down, we found another roach in the kitchen sink. A couple of girls in our group were put off by this. Forrest offered to cancel the reservation; however, we were in no position to find a last minute accommodation smack in the middle of our trip. 2) The master shower had inconsistent hot water. Though the guest shower clearly had plenty of hot water for everyone to shower, the master shower appeared to get colder the farther you turned it to ""hot"" water (the red side).

Overall, the downsides did not prevent us from enjoying Austin and Forrest was quick to reply to our concerns. Given the option I'd probably recommend the location to others just be aware of the things I mentioned above."
1725964,44035726,2015-08-23,35253092,Uma,Forrest was very easy to work with and the house was lovely.
1725964,44954946,2015-08-30,30850089,Michelle,"The house was very beautiful! We all had a really great time and Forrest was 100% in communication with us at all times! We made a horrible mistake and almost locked ourselves out completely (the back door bottom was a push in) as soon as I communicated with Forrest he was on the phone! I'm normally an early riser so the sound of nuts dropping from the trees above didn't bother me, some of the other girls had a little hard time sleeping through it! I would recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in Austin! Cab drive to downtown was only $12. All in all I was very happy to be find this place! "
1725964,45950661,2015-09-07,36056403,Paola,"Forrest was such a great host! I went to Austin for the first time with a few of my girlfriends so I had a bunch  of questions for Forrest about activities and recommendations. He was really fast at replying all of my inquiries and all his recos were great! The house was really comfortable, clean and super cute..and not to mention the location is also great! I highly recommend this place to anyone who will visit Austin."
1725964,49504063,2015-10-04,15310571,Julia,"Awesome house. Perfect for 6 of us. Very considerate hosts, let us check out late to accommodate flight times. "
1725964,50452547,2015-10-12,40814589,Mike,Forrest was really easy to work with and the house was perfect for our setup for ACL.  Quick uber trips to DT Austin and Zilker park.  I would definitely recommend. 
8170269,49502945,2015-10-04,16916188,Sean,Carrie was extremely accommodating. The house was roomier than expected and the late checkout on Sunday made it so we didn't feel rushed.
899946,3788280,2013-03-15,4886186,Keiran,"Ariel was fantastic and made the entire process a breeze! 

Very easy to provide recommendation! "
899946,10922587,2014-03-13,11736696,Alec,"If you don't mind being a little isolated, Ariel's cottage can make for a pleasant stay, but you will want a car of your own. Relying on taxis to move between her place and downtown is tough, especially during SXSW. Her cottage was simple but adequate. Ariel was responsive when I asked her to do some extra cleaning that was necessary."
899946,11943198,2014-04-19,7990953,Andrew,"My friend and I stayed at Ariels home in Austin, for a week, and had a wonderful experience. The house was well stocked with clean towels, linens and everything else we needed on our stay. The property was gated, and the neighbors were very friendly. It was everything we needed for our trip to Austin. We changed our plans a couple times, staying longer, and Ariel was so accommodating in allowing us to change our plans, making everything very smooth and problem free for us. I would definitely recommend this property, and would stay here again in the future. "
899946,12357896,2014-04-29,14335239,Justin,"Ariel's cottage was a great place to stay! It was cozy, decorated with cool art and private from the surrounding area. The cottage is right outside of the hustle of downtown with an easy bike or quick cab ride to all the action in Austin. The cottage is in a gated community with nice neighbors, which is perfect for safety and comfort to anyone with a car or bicycle. Also the bed at the cottage was nothing short of amazing. 

I unfortunately didn't met Ariel directly, but our communications and the presentation of the cottage made me feel right at home. She was very responsive and friendly. She provided delicious muffins, coffee, and also found areas I could rent a bicycle for the week. I would recommend this spot and host to all. "
899946,13938632,2014-06-08,16303807,Shelbi,We stayed at Ariel's cottage for 2 nights for the XGames and I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay! Her cottage was super cute & cozy! She also provided us with breakfast for our entire stay. The cottage was in a gated community and on the good side of town. It was close enough to downtown to catch a cab or take a bike ride. She also helped us find great places to eat and drink! Anytime I had a question she responded immediately.  Thank you Ariel for such an amazing place to stay! We will definitely be back to visit Austin and we will be staying at your cottage! 
899946,18838780,2014-09-01,5610994,Prianka,"Ariel is a great host and sent thoughtful recommendations on places to visit while in Austin. She selected breakfast foods based on our preferences. Her condo is charming, comfortable and clean and well-located while in a private neighborhood. We quite enjoyed our stay. "
899946,20774503,2014-10-05,20903183,Mick,"New to Airbnb, so I wasn't sure what to expect, however the stay was very pleasant.

Ariel described the area and neighborhood accurately. She even bought us breakfast, which was a nice touch. My wife likes to cook and appreciated having the full kitchen with a nice stove (gas), utensils, etc. and the neighborhood was very quiet without being too far away from things. I'd agree with the other reviewer who recommended a bike or car for transit to downtown. We rented a car (needed one for the carseat anyway) and the private parking was nice.

If I take the family back to Austin, we'd consider staying again."
899946,21130554,2014-10-12,7747410,Shannon,"Ariel's cottage in East Austin was absolutely perfect for a little weekend getaway. The cottage itself is clean and charmingly decorated, nestled away in a little gated community of other similar cottages. The bed was incredibly comfy, and the open living and kitchen area was perfect for relaxing in between activities. The location was also great - centrally located in East Austin, with easy access to great restaurants, bars, and other things to do. Ariel was a wonderful host, checking in beforehand to make sure we were all set, and she even left a box of delicious local pastries and goodies on the kitchen counter for breakfast! Very highly recommended."
899946,21627499,2014-10-20,22261169,Nazneen,"This was a nice cosy apartment, very well decorated. The neighborhood was gud and safe, very close to downtown. Ariel had surprised us with champagne and pastries for our anniversary... :)  "
899946,21900784,2014-10-26,22169656,John,"The description and pictures are very accurate, Ariel left us a nice breakfast for when we arrived and overall was very pleasant to exchange emails with.   The place was very clean and cozy."
899946,22585156,2014-11-10,12403178,New,Ariel's home was ideal for me and my friend who stayed during Fun Fun Fun Fest weekend. It was close enough to the festival and to the downtown venues to walk. The space was clean and cozy and the small gated community made you feel very safe and sound. Her home had everything we needed and the bed was extremely comfortable! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin. 
899946,26532477,2015-02-15,25954542,Jason,"We were new to air b&b so we weren't sure what to expect, but Ariel's cottage was a great location. The house was clean, well decorated, and just the right amount of space for us. The full kitchen was great when we decided to stay in and cook one evening. Ariel was a great host and left us some breakfast items as well as offered to give us a list of some good local places to check out."
899946,26871585,2015-02-21,25078964,Joe,"Ariel could not have done more to welcome us. There were goodies for us and lots of easy communications before we arrived. The place was spotless and with a comfortable bed. The location made it easy to get into town for all kinds of fun activities and Ariel gave us lots of good information about that too. I would easily stay here again.
"
899946,27256994,2015-03-01,25636763,Cher,"We had a great stay at Ariel's A+ place. She left milk in the fridge for our tea and seemed happy to assist us if we needed anything.
This private place  was spacious, clean, charming & gracious with a nice shower & towels ! It was also a perfect location for us.
Will definietly book again."
899946,28115962,2015-03-18,20778023,David,"Ariels cottage is very neat and cosy. I felt very welcome and got almost an instant answer once I had a question, be it about the tips for restaurants, shopping, about our Airbnb living agreement, or Austin. I had, over all, a great experience!"
899946,28397271,2015-03-23,8838305,Barrie,Such a cute house! Super clean and cozy with everything we could need!
899946,29767574,2015-04-12,6982998,Abby,"Our stay at Ariel's cottage was great! The home was comfortable, creatively decorated, and well situated to enjoy east Austin's quirky appeal. Ariel was super helpful when we texted her, and the neighbors were friendly as well. "
5414630,27481381,2015-03-05,6063176,Sophie,"The flat itself was very nice in a cool area with shops, bars and restaurants all within easy walking distance.

Unfortunately the real let down was Jessie's communication with us. A barrage of texts came through about all the things she'd remembered despite only showing us the apartment 5 minutes before, including one telling us not to stain her sheets, but not communicating things that mattered like laundry facilities.

I'm also not sure of the whole living at her boyfriends thing as the apartment was very obviously being used daily and very personal, there was zero storage space for 3 people, not even a drawer or cupboard space so I think 7 guests would certainly struggle.  We had to literally live out our cases.

Despite the fact we were only booked 4 nights, she let herself in, whilst we were all in bed and walked into ""her bedroom"" where my boyfriend and I were in bed as she had forgotten some ""hair things"".  No call or warning. Very unprofessional and embarrassing - except for Jessie who explained she'd seem things like that with her friends a million times before, except we are paying guests, not friends crashing at her pad. I really didn't think that was acceptable. I think an older/more conservative couple would have been very very angry at this action and her lax response.

She changed the rates and check out times repeatedly, again wasting time - the process was not straightforward. 

When check out came, she told us ""we had to hurry up"" despite it not being late and asked to just sit in her apartment whilst we packed.

Since the stay I have contacted her about my sisters jacket and jewelry that may have been left there. I am yet to hear back from Jessie."
5414630,27686925,2015-03-09,24416191,Saba,"Jessi's little place was very cute! I loved all the art on the wall, and the sweet backyard. The location was perfect for us. Wheatsville food co-op is very close which made it easy for us to eat good food while traveling. Thanks,  Jessi! "
5414630,28231586,2015-03-20,28835457,Adam,Great place! Jessi was a great host. I would suggest for anyone to stay while in austin!
5414630,28422846,2015-03-23,27977572,Mike,"This place was a great pick for me and my friends.  It's wa a great location for SXSW without being in the middle of all the action. Although I never met Jessi, she was very responsive to my text inquirys. Plenty of privacy and plenty of room for relaxation with amigos. "
5414630,28899468,2015-03-31,12811750,Cristina,"We had a great stay here! The location was perfect, and so close to great bars, restaurants, downtown etc. The apartment was big and had more than enough room for the three of us staying there. We had a small problem getting the key the first night, but Jessi was very responsive and came right over to help us out. She checked in to make sure everything was going well, and was a great host all around.

Everything was pretty much as-advertised, and I would definitely stay here again when coming to Austin!"
5414630,29327416,2015-04-06,29658592,Ryan,Great  place to stay. She is a great host very responsive. Love the outdoor space!  Overall relaxing environment!
5414630,30359138,2015-04-20,30662182,Kendall,Lovely stay in Austin at Jessi's spacious and cozy apartment!  She was incredibly accommodating and helpful :) 
5414630,35727187,2015-06-21,31790885,Sarah,"My husband and I are Austin locals living in the same neighborhood as this fabulous little getaway, and can highly recommend everything about it: the price, the location, the neighborhood, the hosts...it's truly a BNB gem! We booked last-minute for a week while we were between houses, and 'moved' in the same evening after our gracious host spent her afternoon getting it ready for us on extremely short notice. 

Jessi is one of the most accommodating people I have ever met...low-key, friendly, smart, and communicative. Her artist roomie is also wonderful, and though this is technically their permanent residence, the girls were highly respectful of our privacy and only popped over once with ample notice to us. They even welcomed our beloved 14-year-old dog, who was as delighted with the back porch and yard as we were.

The townhouse is very comfortably furnished and airy, with cozy mattresses, a great sofa, soft linens, and plenty of open space for suitcases and gear. The bathroom has lots of counter space and a nice shower with room for two, and is well-stocked with toilet paper and extra towels. The kitchen is quaint but very functional, and everything works. Wifi readily available. Quiet neighbors. For only the price of a Super 8, you get this entire residential flat in a prime central location off Lamar, just south of the River. Only 5-10 minutes into downtown, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, etc, and walking distance to Wheatsville Co-op, Sprouts, Soup Peddler, and more.

Couldn't be better!!"
5414630,38211839,2015-07-13,36555955,Ben,Great stay! House is very clean and comfortable. In a great location. Would definitely stay here again

5414630,42223864,2015-08-11,38479649,Jessica,"Jessi was quick to respond to all questions, the place was perfectly clean upon arrival, and fit description exactly. It was a perfect stay and location and I would definitely stay there again! "
5414630,43451682,2015-08-19,4128346,Rich,"My stay was really relaxing. The coordination with Jessi was great. Although we didn't have a chance to meet in person, she was very helpful and the apartment was clean and quiet... great location :)"
5414630,47888461,2015-09-21,43905938,Cassandra,The house was great! Really great location and we didn't even realize how much we were close to. The only thing I would point out for new stayers is that the actually apartment is around the back of the complex. 
5414630,49353551,2015-10-03,42428943,Max,"Jessi was an awesome host from the very first email - super fast and friendly with responses, and very clear on rules and requests. The flat was exactly as described and pictured in her listing! It was clean and tidy, but well decorated with interesting and fun art and knick-knacks. We unfortunately didn't get to meet in person, but Jessi was always ready to offer help or respond via text. The one time she had to get something from the flat, she gave plenty of notice and was again clear on what she needed to do and when she'd show up. Check-in and check-out were very simple and painless. I wouldn't think twice about reserving the place again - highly recommended!"
5414630,50749757,2015-10-14,27906836,Kelsey,"We stayed at Jessi's flat while in town for a festival. The location was perfect, and minutes away from Zilker Park and downtown. The neighborhood was nice and quiet too! Jessi is very clear in her checking in/out procedures online as well at the flat (there's a written list of rules/reminders there). The apartment was a great size for the three of us and Jessi made up two (full) sized beds to accommodate. She also provided plenty of towels for showering and even a little extra toilet paper. The kitchen is a little small, but had everything we needed to make a good meal. The only issue for us was that there was a lot of dog hair in the bedding/pillows. It was a little off-putting but we ended up just roughing it. Overall, it was a nice stay and offered what we needed. "
5414630,51213281,2015-10-18,36731074,Joe,"Great place!  Close to really cool spots on South Lamar, too. We really enjoyed our stay.  Jessi was a very communicative host and a pleasure to deal with. 
A+ "
5414630,51513846,2015-10-20,4519062,Lakhpreet,Jessi was a good communicator. The apartment had cool art in it and an nice patio. The location of South Lamar was great. The bed was a little too soft but the number of pillows made up for it. 
2543576,11105076,2014-03-20,13152628,Aundie,Mara wen't out of her way to make sure we had a place to stay last minute since our original host was MIA. Her apartment was very nice and so comfortable. It had everything we needed plus some! We will definitely stay with Mara again next time we are in Austin! :) 
2543576,11370462,2014-03-31,12098947,Alana Violette,Very clean and comfortable studio. Mara was easy to get in touch with and also left travel size toiletries in the bathroom for our convenience. 
2543576,11574720,2014-04-07,13858393,William,"Mara was great to work with and very responsive to any questions. She made our first AirBNB stay a success! 

The apartment is very nice, clean and has a very convenient location. We got to town around 1 and were able to go to Banger's, Zilker Botanical Garden, the State Capitol, and an Alamo Drafthouse show without ever really feeling rushed or inconvenienced. 

We will definitely look her up again the next time we travel to Austin!"
2543576,11772602,2014-04-14,11802565,Ariana And Sebastian,Great place to stay in the middle of it all. Mara was very accommodating and available for anything we needed. Great place to crash after the arduous days of MotoGP racing. We definitely recommend her and this place to anyone who looks forward to visiting Austin.
2543576,12020314,2014-04-21,12372507,Kate,"Mara was so kind and available to answer all of our questions. This was my first time using airbnb and Mara made it so easy! The apartment was very nice, exactly as shown in pictures, and SO clean. Another perk was being walking distance to Kerby Lane. I would definitely stay here again!"
2543576,13437771,2014-05-27,15238422,Judith,The apartment was excellent. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay!
2543576,15278626,2014-07-06,16749867,Jin,"great place, great responsive host, great location. there's little else to say!"
2440932,11021243,2014-03-17,5074009,Jeff&Liz,"Lovely, well-decorated  space and Stefanie was really nice to deal with. She was readily available for questions and left detailed notes about the apartment.  She also left us a great welcome basket with local goodies!"
345273,1002791,2012-03-15,1659365,Remco & Leonie,"We stayed at Ben and Stephanie during SXSW. This was an ideal place. Located in a quiet neighbourhood. Just ten minutes with the bus to Downtown Austin. 
The house itself is spacious and lovely decorated. The garden is huge, with a big tree to shelter from the sun if you want to.

Their were a bottle of wine and a first day breakfast when we arrived. Wich made us feel at home on arrival.

So if you're looking for a place to stay in Austin. Look no further."
345273,1021940,2012-03-20,1932821,Minna,"Beautiful, clean, comfortable, spacious, welcoming house. We really enjoyed our stay at Stephanie's & Ben's lovely home. Extra points for the piano that we got to play. Warmly recommended!"
345273,2160820,2012-09-01,3020702,John,"Very cozy home and in the perfect location!  Stephanie and Ben are great and they are very gracious hosts.  Their pianos and beautiful backyard provide an ideal environment for small children.  My wife and I were very pleased with our stay and would definitely recommend them to others.
"
345273,3835007,2013-03-19,1235201,Sarena,"I stayed at Stephanie and Ben's place with a band of 5 during SXSW.
Their home is a little slice of paradise. It's spacious, open and clean. The backyard was our favourite part. The pictures don't do the large, very relaxing patio justice. We also found it pretty novel that they have a chicken coop, and took a few eggs to fry up during our big band-family dinner/BBQ. We also made use of their backyard fire pit, which was a perfect way to wind down after a long day. Their absolutely lovely house cat, Lola, was very friendly and actually made the stay even more enjoyable. 

Not only was the house great, but you couldn't ask for better hosts. They left thorough instructions and recommendations for local eateries, and invited us to help ourselves to the food and beer in the fridge (which we definitely did :)).

The house is about a 40 minute walk from downtown, but that's really not all that bad since during SX you usually leave in the morning and don't come back until the evening. We usually walked in a group down 11th ave home every night or caught a cab (which ran us under $10 total for a trip from downtown). 

Overall great experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin! Thanks so much Stephanie and Ben!"
345273,11000162,2014-03-17,1794476,Tristan,"Was a wonderful accommodation, within walking distance to downtown Austin. We ate eggs from the chickens everyday and the bikes were great to have also. Backyard fire pit also! Highly recommended."
345273,21544828,2014-10-19,16641185,Andrew,"The house was absolutely gorgeous with three spacious bedrooms, a nice kitchen, and a cozy backyard.  It was conveniently located near the University of Texas and downtown, which made it easy to get around.  We really enjoyed our few days at Stephanie and Ben's place and would definitely stay there again."
345273,22297837,2014-11-03,8712096,Ben,"Steph and Ben were great hosts. They were very accommodating to our plans, easily contactable and their place was great. Very trendy, looks exactly like the pictures.  We were in town for the Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, it was also Halloween.  We went downtown most nights, it was a $9 cab from the house to downtown - too easy.

Steph and Ben left us bagels, orange juice and some other bits to get us going which was perfect for day 1 breakfast.

The place had 3 decent sized bedrooms, again just like the pictures. All nicely decorated and the house was very clean. An easy sleep for 6, 8 would work depending on configuration, plenty of space though. Heaps of parking in the street in addition to the single parking spot they left for us.

The layout of the living space/kitchen and back deck was a nice setup for hanging out and having a couple of beers in the night.

All in all a great trip and helped by a great place to stay. Will look these guys up again if in Austin again.

We found a great hipster coffee place very close called figure 8."
345273,29841668,2015-04-13,18694809,Kelly,"Stephanie and Ben's house was perfect for a girl's weekend in Austin. The open kitchen and living room space provided room for everyone to be together and made it feel like home from the start. The chickens and their fresh eggs were a fun surprise, and the backyard space was beautiful. I wish this house was my own. "
345273,33061799,2015-05-25,7483751,Oliver,Stephanie and Ben were very accommodating leading up to our stay making sure that we would be able to pick up the keys even if they weren't home when we arrived. The home was very clean and tidy and the yard was nice too!
5506964,28182376,2015-03-19,28366010,Hillary,"Adam was a lovely host! He bought us flowers and wine upon our arrival, suggested places to eat/visit, and gave us a full walk through of the house upon check in. He was always available to text/come by if we needed anything. He made us feel comfortable. 

The house was beautiful, clean, unique, and fun to stay in. Easy walk to downtown and very quick cab ride. We really enjoyed the neighborhood - Zilker was very quiet, peaceful and safe (a nice break from downtown during SXSW!) 

We would be happy to stay here again!"
5506964,29798095,2015-04-12,5539805,Julie,"There's no better place to stay in Austin - The neighborhood is quaint, quite, and very safe. Not to mention the location and views! Great host, easy to communicate with. I will certainly be back! "
5506964,30413927,2015-04-21,2497038,Matt,"We had 8 of us stay for 4 nights. Nicest place in the neighborhood. Super comfortable house. Tons of natural light. The lounging couch on the 2nd floor was great place to relax.  Adam was a great host and left us his number if we needed anything. We used car2go to get around town and was never more than a few min walk to grab a car and head downtown. 

Highly recommend for groups coming down for events.  Will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin"
5506964,30711260,2015-04-26,4846895,Alexander,Adam was a very accommodating host who was there on arrival and gave us a great tour and made us feel at home right away. The house is gorgeous and the rooms extremely comfortable. The location was excellent and we had all the amenities to make our stay easy and luxurious.
5506964,31380775,2015-05-04,273066,Thairu,"The 5 of us all had a great time in Austin, and this amazing house made it even better. Adam also made us feel very welcome, checking in a couple of days before the trip to make sure we knew how to find the place.  We'll definitely be back"
5506964,33107969,2015-05-25,30916628,Saurabh,"We had an excellent experience here. I came with a group of people for Memorial Day weekend, and everything was as-pictured and as-described. The kitchen and fridge were stocked, which was nice because we didn't have a lot of time to go grocery shopping! The house has the feel of a luxury/modern cabin but still felt like a home.  I am so glad we picked this location too. I initially had reservations about staying outside of downtown, but I soon realized that half of what makes Austin great is the area around downtown. This is an excellent central location. I would stay here again and again. "
5506964,37349509,2015-07-06,17359962,Leah,Adam welcomed us into his modern Austin home over the 4th of July holiday. The modern home is in a hip and safe neighborhood for a family. My young niece and nephew loved the house. The house is spacious and great for family gatherings. The large windows make you appreciate the outdoors from the inside and the upper patio had beautiful views of downtown Austin. The location is also great. Many Austin attractions are minutes from the beautiful home. We would definitely stay here again.   
5506964,42862648,2015-08-16,7614377,Gil,The place is beautiful - seriously beautiful - and the location is great.  Adam was a alost a great host.  communicated clearly and upfront everything we needed to know.  very helpful.  Thanks Adam!  we had a great time.
5506964,45942423,2015-09-07,36234616,Kim,"We had 6 people in our party for my son's wedding over labor day weekend. Adam was the perfect host. We arrived very late our first night. He contacted us the following day to make sure we arrived and had everything we needed. The house was very clean and welcoming. Just like advertised but even better. The home is in a lovely location and we always felt safe. We were either in walking distance or a short ride from all our venues.

Highly recommended!!!!"
5506964,46486644,2015-09-11,18314550,Tim,"We had a great time in the house. Its incredibly spacious and welcoming. I often felt like I was outside, due to the enormous expanse of glass on the side. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. 

Adam walked us through the entire house and was responsive to all of our requests for info and help. 

The neighborhood was very quiet and safe. There's not much in easy walking distance, but everything is a quick drive. "
5506964,47659642,2015-09-21,2256137,Jamie,"Awesome home in Austin! Adam, the host, was so kind and welcoming, and the description of the house is spot-on. Great location, close to everything, with a huge yard and decks for kids to play on and adults to hang out. Highly recommend!"
5506964,49761907,2015-10-06,22043709,Shawn,We had a great time. The views from the house where great. 
5506964,51266436,2015-10-19,179662,Jody,"What a wonderfully beautiful and lovely place to stay. The location is absolutely incredible. The house itself is something out of Dwell magazine. Adam will tell you all about the awesome energy saving & unique materials that were used in constructing this gorgeous modern home. 

We felt like James Bond villains staying in our modern hideout. Family & friends who visited (it was our wedding weekend) were all blown away by the scale & awesomeness of this home. 5 Stars, A+, if you're on the fence about staying here JUST DO IT. You won't regret it."
8758470,51372622,2015-10-19,46040809,Jackie,"Martin and his staff were great. This will be a great place when they are done. Great concept that is much needed in Austin. Already new beds, window units, double locks, toilet, sink etc. Thanks to them I had a place to land and focus on my new job. Then find a place to live. "
6194285,31415266,2015-05-04,31420148,Rahul,"Nice room, walk in closet a bonus. ""Jack and Jill"" bathroom makes for added convenience. Christine responded promptly to my room request which was great as I made the request only hours before arriving."
6194285,36074900,2015-06-24,7012238,Geoffrey,"Great hosts. Really made you feel at home. Good people. Friendly. Clean room. Privacy is respected, but also feel welcomed. The pets in the house are so friendly as well!! Just a good choice for a good stay"
6194285,36156318,2015-06-25,36437585,Jade,The room was very spacious along with the closet. Felt very welcomed by  gracious hosts. The location of the home was very convenient for me. Christine was quick to respond and flexible with the check in process.  Will book again if needed.
6194285,36458745,2015-06-28,35567498,Hilary,Very impressed with the set-up at their place. Afforded me all of the privacy I needed along with the ability to come and go as late as I pleased. Host was very congenial and easy to talk to. Want to stay here again. 
6194285,36639342,2015-06-29,15633081,Ogechi,"Christine's place is a fantastic option for the budget-conscious traveler! I definitely will consider this when I'm in ATX again. Comfy bed, kind hosts--not much more you can ask for! 

Thanks so much, Christine and John! :-)"
6194285,36919499,2015-07-02,36736219,Robert,"Check in and check out was super convenient. The room was clean and Christine was super accommodating. I had a great stay, and I would recommend Christine's place to anyone."
6194285,37413914,2015-07-06,35834051,Bamba,This is an extremely respectful house
6194285,37807837,2015-07-10,35834051,Bamba,A very welcoming place. Calm and quiet.
6194285,39839157,2015-07-26,31824655,Sara,Great value and very relaxed hosts. Shared the upstairs bathroom with another airbnb guest and a permanent roommate. Enjoyed making buddies with the house pets. Working late prevented me from seeing much of the housemates who worked business hours. Recommend.
6194285,43250341,2015-08-18,14114251,Eric,"Christine, John, and Kevin were all very friendly and welcoming. I was at their residence for an extended stay whilst starting a new job in Austin. The house was comfortable and a good place to unwind after a long day of work. Every was clean and they even let me store some things temporarily in the house. Traffic can be annoying going into town on i-35 from this location. But, all things considered, this place is definitely worth the price! I would definitely recommend it."
6194285,44336159,2015-08-25,18789739,Shawn,Christine was a great host and the property was located in a quiet neighborhood.
6194285,45185579,2015-08-31,30046330,Scott,"Nice, clean room and conveniently located. Very accommodating host who is friendly and responsive to questions. Definitely recommend as an inexpensive alternative to a hotel. I stayed in a budget hotel the last time I was in Austin before staying here, and would highly recommend this listing over doing that."
6194285,45723313,2015-09-05,35736818,Joe,Host made me feel welcome and we got into conversations. She really nice and it accurate.
6194285,46017789,2015-09-07,8955854,Lin,"Christine was very accommodating of my last minute changing plans and was easy going and communicative.  The neighborhood is nice and quiet and about 10 miles north of downtown Austin with ample street parking.  The room was okay, the bed did not have the white frame shown in the photo but it was a nice sized room.  The bathroom and common area was unkept and kind of dirty.  There were multiple people staying at the house (not sure if they were other airbnb guests, renters, or friends), including a man sleeping in the upstairs common area whom we would see every time we came out of the room.  Am not sure how many people were living there but it seemed like the upstairs bathroom was shared with between 4-6 other people.  There were bits of what looked like black feces caked to the toilet bowl and the rim area looks like it had not been cleaned in quite a while.  Toiletries were strewn everywhere and someone used the towel that my friend had hung up in the bathroom hook and left it soaked.  The towels provided were mildewy and smelly and we mostly tried to air dry our bodies and hair as a result.  It was also a pain to share the bathroom with that many people as there's always someone in there and you always felt like someone was waiting for you to get out of there.  With that many people, you also don't know who they are and if something happens like theft or worse, who would be responsible.  At one point over the two day period there were four dogs and two cats (albeit they were all cute and well-behaved) that I saw staying in the house and the whole place just smelled like animals.  One of the cats was licking dirty dishes out of the sink and there was a marijuana pipe left on the kitchen counter.  I'm no DEA but it does' seem like a good idea to leave illegal drugs out when one's renting out the home to strangers.  Christine did seem like a nice person though and she was very understanding when we checked in late at night by leaving a key for us.  "
6194285,48007865,2015-09-22,10537180,James,"I loved staying at Christine's place. When I connected her regarding booking she responded immediately which is really helpful when you are looking for a place to stay. I stayed with them for two weeks and loved every day of it.

Second, the house is really big in a nice neighborhood with a backyard. The room is spacious with dresser, walk-in closet and a desk. The bathroom is shared which is kept clean and I didn't have problem because it is only used by roommates in the early am. They keep the place at a comfortable  temperature which is great if you are out all day in the heat. 

Lastly, everyone at their house will make you feel like home which is huge for someone who just moved here and doesn't have friend. If you like Catan board game they would love to sit and play with you. Also, the pets in the house are adorable. They are so cute and friendly. 

I have to note that I was a little concerned after seeing the last review but I asked Christine to know what happened. Apparently, sister's boyfriend was visiting and who had medical issues which the doc prescribed him medical marijuana card. As far as everything else as the last reviewer mentioned I didn't experience and like I said I loved every minute of it and I am glad that I booked my stay with them. 

Thank you for all the memories everyone you guys are amazing. "
6194285,51816979,2015-10-24,430933,Bret,"Christine is a good host. She is very sweet, accommodating, and has a clean home. The bed was comfy, the shared bathroom is kept clean by respectful and quiet room mates in the other room. I have zero complaints, and I will likely book with her again when I return to austin."
629106,10935715,2014-03-14,359635,Lachlan,"Mike was easy to contact and work with prior to the booking and met us at the property to make sure we got in ok. The property was great, perfect walking distance for SXSW!"
629106,28075087,2015-03-17,614352,Jeff,"Great place, well kept and host had the place setup just right for our arrival. Clean sheets, fresh towels, extra toiletries, all the necessities. I can't promise he'll always have the kitchen stocked and let you drink his beverages or eat his muffins, but the man was quite gracious in that respect. Not having to hunt down cold water at 4AM coming back from a long bar crawl was much appreciated! Highly recommend. Internet strong too."
4368901,27031904,2015-02-23,27670077,Amy,"Five stars all the way for this amazing house! It was the perfect spot for our girl’s weekend away from jobs, kids and husbands. We could not have enjoyed ourselves more! 

Isaac has done an beautiful job of renovating and decorating this home. It’s just gorgeous and you can tell he’s paid careful attention to every design detail. It’s located on a corner lot in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the Quickie Pickie a cute neighborhood market with great coffee and eats (we went there every day!) and Hillside Farmacy (a quaint brunch spot). He’s also thought of everything to make sure all your needs are met (blow dryer, curling iron, lotion, sunscreen---I mean everything) as well as provided a fully equipped kitchen. He was also very responsive throughout the booking process and made sure we knew how to reach him should anything come-up over our weekend stay. 

You should definitely stay here on your next trip to Austin! In fact, my mom is doing a weekend away with her girlfriends later this year and I’ve already told her they have to stay here. "
4368901,27292277,2015-03-01,10412555,Alexa,"This was the most beautiful stay I've ever had on Airbnb. Isaac was incredibly prompt and made for a very smooth experience. The residence itself is a masterpiece, newly remodeled and the photos don't do it justice.  It honestly felt  like we were at a private boutique hotel (not someone's home). It's in a very convenient location and we easily used Uber and Lyft the entire weekend to get around town. I would highly recommend this stay! "
4368901,27680356,2015-03-09,28001500,Luzia,"The contact with Isaac was most pleasant and easy-going. I wasn't a guest at the house myself but the colleagues staying
there were very happy with the accommodation and uncomplicated arrangements for arrival, departure, keys etc.
We certainly recommend Isaac and his place for a stay in Austin and would be more than happy to have him as hosts again!"
4368901,28721064,2015-03-29,504747,Kyle,"Awesome house, designed immaturely and a great place to spend the weekend. Short walk or bike ride to all of the great restaurants on 11th st. We loved this spot for our group of 4."
4368901,29555343,2015-04-09,14798733,David,"Isaac was the best host we've had yet.  He was communicative within 20 minutes (though don't hold him to that!) and everything he described was modest compared to what he built this home to be!  It was a great location (and you could avoid traffic with local roads easily) with two great bedrooms, a comfortable living space and big kitchen, and a nice daybed area where our 11 month old slept soundly.  We had to leave slightly late because of a cancelled flight, and Isaac said it was totally fine to leave 1/2 hr after the checkout.  "
4368901,29833329,2015-04-13,28251346,Israel,Isaac is an awesome host! 5 Star place to stay! Home was exactly how it's advertised and more. Thanks Isaac for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. 
4368901,30201958,2015-04-19,13585480,Brandy,I absolutely loved the house. It was absolutely beautiful and a perfect set up for my group of 7. We will definitely book this house for the same event next year. Issac was a great host and was great about answering all my questions and concerns.
4368901,30434153,2015-04-21,31314669,Matthew,"Great place, great location. Isaac has this down. There are automatic locks on the doors so no need to hassle with meeting a certain time/place to get a key. The house was beautifully remodeled. Can't recommend this spot highly enough."
4368901,30774059,2015-04-27,6065786,Katie,"Isaac was a wonderful host and could not give more praise to the experience that we had in the house. He wrote a fantastic introduction email with all of the key details about the house well in advance of our stay and provided both his and back-up contact details. 

Upon arrival, the house was spotless with a welcome pack was great - we used it as a reference for the whole trip. The house itself is absolutely perfect for what we wanted - everyone of my friends commented on how much it looked like an HGTV make-over home and was amazing. The common space is really what makes the house - and was great with 8 friends. The bed space is limited to 6, but there's an air mattress and futon, which worked for us. 

For the area in the East End, it is more up-and-coming, but was only about a half mile walk to the Quickie Pickie and great restaurants, where we frequented everyday. 

I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a small group. It definitely made our experience in Austin! "
4368901,31065708,2015-05-01,19234180,Anna,Place was immaculate. Issac left a great document with tons of ideas for restaurants and things to do nearby. House was fully stocked with anything you needed. We felt right at home!
4368901,31304569,2015-05-04,3965168,Kenny,Issac was great with communicating and questions even before arrival. The place was as described/pictured and was accommodating even when we arrived earlier than the check-in time. The neighborhood was close enough to the attractions and far enough to not be bothered by loud partiers. Our big group enjoyed our weekend stay here and would recommend Issac and his place.  
4368901,31523960,2015-05-06,29830901,Taylor,"This house was amazing. VERY comfortably housed the 5 of us, a great patio, and the shortest uber drive to 6th street. We loved it. As soon as we walked in, we all gasped. Isaac was also sweet enough to leave us a helpful packet of places to go as well as tea and coffee. You should book for the shower alone! "
4368901,31635170,2015-05-08,25554290,Michael,The house was great. Perfect location. Isaac was a great host. Nothing negative to say at all
4368901,31889525,2015-05-11,14059182,Keri,"Isaac, our host, was very accommodating.  He left us alone, but provided most everything we needed.  The house was so charming - beautiful touches throughout, like the walk-in shower and spacious open-concept  kitchen/living room.  It was also right next to a historic cemetery, which would make for a nice afternoon walk.  "
4368901,32088059,2015-05-13,19032669,Aron,"We really enjoyed the location, this was the best thing for us. It was raining when we were here so didn't get to make use of the outdoor decks that looked great. Was no problem staying indoors though, plenty of space and very comfortable living area. Overall great place to stay and would recommend and try to stay here again when we travel to Austin. Thanks Isaac"
4368901,32324454,2015-05-17,21666337,Kevin,"Great spot for our group of five.  Everyone had a place to sleep, and socializing was easy.  "
4368901,32709642,2015-05-20,28665176,Jared,"Isaac was a great host, and his home was as lovely as it looks in the pictures. Everything ran as smoothly as advertised, and the location provides a great base to explore Austin. We would definitely stay again!"
4368901,32847449,2015-05-22,6826120,Eleanor,"The house is absolutely gorgeous, immaculately renovated, and in a great location. Minutes from downtown - quick drive or Uber ride, walking distance to some great eateries in a diverse neighborhood. I came with some team members for a business trip and we had plenty of room to spread out, luxuriating in how swank it was compared to the typical business hotel stay. Issac was extremely responsive and left some very righteous dining recommendations. The kitchen is brand new and quite well appointed, and with the 2 decks it would also be a great place for families or a group of friends. When I come back to Austin to visit my client, I am absolutely staying here again. "
4368901,33780227,2015-06-01,28994902,Minna,"I planned a bachelorette party in Austin over the weekend and we stayed here. Isaac was very responsive to any questions, sent us info on the house way in advance, and the home was beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. Pictures are all true to reality and really was such a lovely week and a weekend we won't forget. Thank you Isaac!"
4368901,34409367,2015-06-08,29134571,Emilie,"Isaac is a wonderful host! From the moment we booked to our whole stay, everything was easy. The house is modern, spacious and clean and our group of 6 was comfortably accommodated. Great location as well: walking distance / short Uber ride from Wholefoods and amazing running trails. I could not ask for more!"
4368901,35081571,2015-06-15,2690856,Matthew,"Terrific stay! Location is great, walkable to some great spots (E 6th is about 15 mins on foot, and some fun places even closer). House was perfect - comfortable sleeping arrangements, great living area, fully stocked kitchen, very well put together. Nice patio, too!"
4368901,35487998,2015-06-19,8011681,David,"Isaac place was immaculate and greatly designed. Super fresh towels, amazing bed sheets and a convenient Nest. Great host! "
4368901,36512487,2015-06-29,29412686,Mark,"Isaac was very accommodating and even provided a helpful list of great places to check out in the Austin area. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed to stay comfortable during our visit to Austin (i.e. toiletries, internet, etc). If we had any questions at all, our host was readily available to offer guidance."
4368901,36995437,2015-07-03,36233787,Parth,"Everything was great, the house was perfect. The accommodations were awesome. The location was superb. Thanks Isaac!"
4368901,37233433,2015-07-05,2029198,Callie,The house is perfectly described! Just like the pictures and the description. The accommodations were better than we thought! Isaac is quick to respond and a wonderful host. We really appreciate the help and had a great weekend in Austin! 
4368901,38047611,2015-07-12,16070871,Matt,Beautiful house with a great location in the heart of Austin. Loved the finishes and amenities like the master bathroom shower. Host was incredibly helpful and even allowed for an extended checkout. Would definitely recommend. 
4368901,38834589,2015-07-19,32204784,Grace,"We had seven extremely impressed, happy women in Isaac's place.  We were so impressed with the personal touches, convenience and overall upkeep of the home.  We all wanted to write 5-star reviews.  A little bit of a trek to downtown but we enjoyed the walk!  Super cheap uber to any place we explored.  We loved having the feeling of a ""home"" for us to catch up in.  Lots of time spent laughing in the living room and kitchen.  Comfy beds!  Beautiful bathrooms. Truly - you won't be disappointed with this home!"
4368901,39730534,2015-07-26,20274134,Jessica,Issac's house was truly wonderful and looks exactly as described. The best part was it was super clean and organized. It was easy to find and we arrived quickly from the airport no problem. We had a group of 7 and plenty of room. The backyard is huge! There are two porches and that was a pleasant surprise. The layout was nice so if you wanted to sleep you were not disturbed by the front room and it was very convenient for uber drivers - there was always a driver 2 minutes away. The master bathroom shower is amazingly luxurious and was a nice added touch for vacation! If we ever come back to Austin we will be staying here again!! 
4368901,40904288,2015-08-03,1687063,Davede And Dina,"Our stay in Isaac's home was wonderful! The locations was very central (close to 6th street, downtown, everything!), the house is adorable and very clean, the neighborhood is safe and near the freeway, and the restaurants nearby are great (farmacy, No Va, quickie pickie was a great convenience store/quick brunch spot/coffee shop). Easy entry to the home, parking was great for two cars, there were great recommendations for local eateries and activities, and the master bed was so comfortable. Loved the rainfall shower. There were also tons of extras - shampoo/conditioner, hair dryer, curling iron, etc. I would love to stay here again with a few friends... In fact, one of our guests is booking the place for the Austin Marathon next year! Great place! Thanks for the beers, Isaac!"
4368901,41933998,2015-08-10,6012825,Dustin,"The house was great. I had everything needed for a pleasant stay. Isaac was very helpful and answered all of my questions quickly, despite some trouble with the site. If you are wanting to experience down town you may want to rent a bike otherwise uber and lyft are very useful. "
4368901,42838629,2015-08-16,7212679,Emily,We loved Isaac's house! It was so clean and beautiful on the inside. The perfect spot for a girl's weekend. We loved that he had tips of places to visit in Austin. The master shower was incredible.
4368901,43534790,2015-08-20,38197261,Damanick,"Isaac was great to work with. The check-in email and list of nearby places was very helpful. The property is beautiful, and you can't beat the location! Enjoyed my stay here, and will return. "
4368901,44571926,2015-08-27,10956707,Charlie,Gorgeous home. Perfect location. The entire home was stocked with everything you could need during your stay. Isaac is an amazing host that has put a lot of thought into the needs of his guests while staying at his home. I would absolutely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. 
4368901,46513288,2015-09-11,8899735,Doug And Cynthia,Great location - we had a conference at the JW Marriott and we used this wonderful house as our base. Super comfortable and clean. 
4368901,47241327,2015-09-17,1990446,Robin,"Isaac was a most welcoming host, and timely provided all the information we needed for an easy check-in and stay. The unit was comfortable for our party of five, and well-located to enjoy all the attractions that Austin offers (and yet still benefit from the peace and quiet of a residential neighborhood). "
4368901,47616486,2015-09-21,31155381,Amanda,"Isaac's house was nothing short of outstanding! I stayed here with 6 of my friends for a college reunion and it was absolutely perfect.  The house is clean, well organized, and easily accessible.  It is also in a great neighborhood that is close to the action but not in the fray. Isaac was very responsive for any questions we had and the check in/check out procedure was very simple.  He has also stocked the house with anything you could ever need - i.e., shampoo and conditioner, towels, cleaning supplies, garbage bags, a grill, sheets, etc. The beds were all very comfortable as well. I would recommend his house to anyone visiting Austin and will definitely book it again if it's available for my next trip.  Thanks, Isaac!"
4368901,48671785,2015-09-28,28704195,Emily,"This house was perfect for our girls trip to Austin! The house was clean, and cozy (even for all 7 of us!). It was a great place for hanging out and catching up with lovely common areas inside and out.  Loved that we were able to walk almost everywhere! 

Also, Isaac was very accommodating with a late check-out that was very much appreciated!"
4368901,49423049,2015-10-04,33925214,Lauren,"What a beautiful home to stay in for a girls weekend in Austin!  Isaac set us up with all the information we needed a couple of days prior, so there were no questions or concerns during the stay.  Nice quaint, quiet neighborhood.  Loved that within walking distance there was a great place to get coffee, groceries and breakfast, as we went each morning.  I highly, highly recommend!"
4368901,51108618,2015-10-18,10975274,Caylee,"Beautiful house in East Austin! The house was clean when we arrived and fully stocked with anything we needed. We had 5 people and it felt like a good size for our group.  We used the back deck often which is enclosed with beautiful trees. The location is great (close to coffee, groceries and breakfast and inexpensive uber rides to downtown etc.). "
4368901,51566695,2015-10-21,1939056,Mario,"Isaac's house was amazing. Very high-end appliances and beautiful vintage+modern design. The back porch area was very nice to hang out with a huge tree---we even had a small BBQ dinner that was lovely.  The master bathroom is awesome, almost like a mini spa. The neighborhood is quiet and not so busy. We spent a very comfortable weekend with my parents.  Only minor issue was WiFi speed was a bit slower than we're used to, but the house itself was excellent and Isaac was very prompt to provide help!"
4368901,52813507,2015-11-02,1527685,Ashley,The experience was perfect - all the way from isaac's communication in the run up to the trip to the property itself which was fantastic. Very modern with all the amenities you need (and more)!
7294886,44074289,2015-08-23,41454917,Kate,"Good experience - clean, quiet, and convenient!"
7294886,45453129,2015-09-02,20465416,Adam,"Listing was accurate. The place is very clean and Eric sorted us out with everything we'd need. Absolutely no complaints at all! Can even get downtown on foot if you don't mind a bit of a walk (~20 mins). Eric is a great guy himself too, shame we didn't get to see more of him. Thanks man!"
7294886,46044129,2015-09-07,42526903,Jasmine,"Eric was a great host! The photos presented on AirBnB are completely accurate. It was quaint, clean and comfy! He was quick to respond to all questions and extremely helpful and friendly. Though I wasn't able to meet Eric personally, he sent a friend who was friendly and accessible as needed. The location is perfectly placed in the middle of the city, which provided quick access to necessary stores, shops, etc. If you are a cyclist, this location is located near many hills which is a cyclist's dream and playground! :) Great spot - don't hesitate to stay here!"
7294886,47516444,2015-09-19,30529353,Sierra,"Eric was professional and very kind. I had my grandmother with me (who loves to chat) and he was very polite and kind to her. 
The place is tidy and has everything for basic needs. 
Loved how convenient it was to get around. Restaurants and bars are just a walk away. "
7294886,48915073,2015-09-29,22494140,Roy,"We enjoyed our stay at Eric's apartment. It is a clean abode with WiFi,a Keurig,a smart tv with some cable channels, and a/c. He also includes a parking pass which was useful. This area of Austin is really neat and Manor has lots of restaurant options. It is located about a 10 minute bus ride to downtown. Eric keeps clear communication and is easy to work with."
7294886,49653685,2015-10-05,34829242,Lauren,"Eric's apartment was identical to the photos and was the perfect place to stay for a long weekend! Eric was extremely communicative and accommodating and brought over an air mattress at our request. He was flexible with the check-in and check-out and couldn't have made the process easier! 

The area itself had some delicious restaurants and was only about a $7 uber to downtown. If you have time go to Mi Madres, we ate there at least three times!"
7294886,50465815,2015-10-12,16332521,Eimear,"Lovely, spacious apartment which was exactly as shown in the description and photos. It was nice and cool ( a Texas necessity!) and the TV/music set up was great for a night in if you have a longer stay. 

Eric was friendly and helpful, recommending some great local bars and restaurants. He was prompt in all correspondence.

We loved the neighbourhood. There was an excellent selection of places to eat, drink, and hangout. Highly recommend it if you're looking for somewhere that's a bit quieter, but where it's also easy to get downtown. "
7294886,51143369,2015-10-18,43310490,Alexis,"Eric was great! He was flexible with our check in and check out times and was always available by phone if anything came up! The apartment was everything you need and nothing more! Clean kitchen, breakfast table, TV, clean bathroom, and bedroom. Great location - walking distance to many bars and restaurants on Manor Road (Dai Due, School House Pub, Haymaker, El Chillito, etc.). Cheap Uber ride to other parts of town! Also includes a parking spot! Overall, a great, very affordable, super convenient place to stay!"
7294886,51731560,2015-10-24,32535056,Bob,"The apartment was exactly what we were looking for, a clean and cozy apartment close to downtown Austin.  It only took five or ten minutes to get to the downtown cultural attractions and nightlife.  It was so much more homier, comfortable and cheaper than a hotel room in Austin."
7294886,52416161,2015-10-29,11958724,Adam,"Great spot in Austin. Eric had great recommendations of things to do, and he made the place very welcoming for us!"
7979377,45861723,2015-09-06,24986772,Casey,"We had a great stay from start to finish at Kylie's ""oasis.""  Booking and check-in were easy. The description is spot on and the apartment is very clean and comfortable. The location is very close to all the downtown Austin attractions. I would happily stay here again during my next trip to Austin."
7979377,46051116,2015-09-07,42679458,Lily,"My friend and I stayed one night here and we loved it! Very comfortable,  not too far from downtown. I definitely appreciated the happy hippie decor :)"
7979377,46205953,2015-09-08,39071764,Maria,"This was my first time using this method and I liked it. Kylie's place was a little confusing to get to, but she was very patient about giving instructions on how to get to her place. We were greeted with a welcome sign and a cool basket of freebies we could use. Her place is as pictured. It's very comfy but stylish. It was a good first experience."
7979377,46953103,2015-09-14,42640344,Catherine,"Great location, awesome style.  Very comfortable.  "
7979377,47771354,2015-09-21,35436826,Nancy,"Kylie and Morgan were great! They left a bucket full of toiletries for us to use, the apartment was very clean and the bed was made with towels out for us to use. They made sure to keep us updated on any changes like room availability or when they would pick up their puppy (we enjoyed playing with the puppy til then). We really enjoyed this listing and would definitely come back"
7979377,52063179,2015-10-26,42599839,Lindsay,"Kylie made us feel very welcome. Her condo was a little tough to find once in the complex but she was available by phone when I needed help. For the most part, the place was clean...clean towels were left out and the sheets were clean. The sink however was dirty and I regret to say the house smelled of smoke, I did leave feeling like I needed to wash even the clothes I didn't wear. The location was great and close to downtown and the Wifi and Netflix were nice since we got caught in a rainstorm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the girls were great hosts. "
734018,2890872,2012-11-15,222916,Mary,"My girlfriends and I stayed at Baxter's place in Austin for three nights. We basically just used it for sleeping and changing our clothes, but it worked really well for that. The location was nice and not far from where we wanted to be. I'd stay there again."
734018,14923502,2014-06-29,10636423,Matthew,"Great, funky, bohemian cottage in a perfectly located neighborhood. "
734018,15795261,2014-07-15,6136673,Michael,"We really enjoyed staying at this charming cottage, conveniently located a hop and skip away from many great cafes and eateries. Baxter is a super wonderful host and was very helpful in orienting us toward Austin's attractions. Would definitely recommend a stay here."
734018,16494106,2014-07-28,1580156,Benjamin,"Host contacted us before, gave us all required information.
Information given were accurate.
House is terrific, very warmful and peacefull.

Check out process should be clarified but once again host has been flexible, we really appreciated our stay.
"
734018,18717814,2014-08-31,14309203,Leigh,"I was so happy with my stay at the Strawberry Cottage. I really didn't want to leave!
It's described very accurately in the listing, it really is a home sweet home. I felt so at home and so relaxed. Their decorating and sweet touches were just lovely.  
The neighborhood is just fantastic with everything you would want within walking distance - restaurants, cafes, food trucks, bars, shopping.
Baxter and her husband were lovely people and very friendly, they seemed to really care about their guests."
734018,18902733,2014-09-02,19598133,Nina,"When we first arrived, we felt welcomed by the host. However, this feeling quickly changed. The host was good in that she offered restaurant and transportation advice, bad in that she pushed back the check in time three different times until it was an hour and a half late. One of the bedrooms in the house does not have a door, so there is little privacy for changing. We saw a cockroach in the kitchen. We had a group of 6 and requested the air mattress prior to arriving, only to find out it was a twin size. The owner also left her car in the driveway while we were staying there, which was a little creepy. Overall, I would not stay here again."
734018,21857947,2014-10-25,22682409,Chris,Baxter was a great host! We met her when we got there for a tour and explained everything we needed to know. She keep in good contact with me throughout the two days / nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience!
734018,22760221,2014-11-14,4047718,Tjerk H.,"Pleasant house, good location, great porch and friendly flexible host Baxter who regularly kept in touch during my stay. Would definitely stay here again."
734018,23174445,2014-11-24,9591394,Debra,"We loved staying at the Strawberry Cottage!  It's a sweet little house filled with tons of charming details.  It is conveniently located close to everything we wanted to do and we were able to comfortably hang out there with our son during down times.  Baxter and Derek were friendly, informed hosts who were happy to suggest places to eat and hear live music.  Baxter was good about keeping in touch and was very easy to work with. 

The stereo and French Press were great additions to the cottage.  Those folks who can't go without a television will be sad to hear there isn't one available but that wasn't an issue for us.  With so much to do in Austin you won't miss it anyway.  There is good, strong wi-fi, by the way. 

We stayed in the cottage with our adult son.  There was plenty of off-street parking for two cars.  The queen bedroom doesn't have a door and you walk into it to access the king bedroom. Again, not an issue for us but something to mention.

The Strawberry Cottage enhanced our trip and we hope to be able to stay there again on our next Austin visit."
734018,23338502,2014-11-29,23637544,Erin,"Our stay at Strawberry Cottage was great. It is in a nice neighborhood, walking distance to plenty of shopping and nightlife. Baxter was helpful in giving us ideas on places to check out, and her record collection was thoroughly enjoyed.  If I am ever back in Austin I would stay at Strawberry Cottage again."
734018,23758472,2014-12-09,11525158,Kristin,"Baxter was great and the little house was just as adorable as it was in the photos! It was definitely very eclectic and perfect for the Austin vibe I was looking for.

I lived in Austin for a while so I wasn't looking for someone to be in constant touch with me so I appreciated that Baxter was quick with texts but not overbearing. However, if you wanted some more interaction or communication I'm sure she'd be great for that as she also texted a few times to make sure things were going well and to let me know about events happening in Austin."
734018,24977424,2015-01-04,24553059,James,Good
734018,26852896,2015-02-20,23437386,Alex,"I was in Austin and needed a place for the night, while for the other properties 12 hour notice was too short, Baxter accommodated us with only 6 hour notice, YES 6 HOURS!!!

In pictures I noticed  the old record player, I had to look again, yes it was there, I was sold. Baxter met us at the place and told us not only about the property but also about things to do. The location is amazing, it is within a walking distance from everything, restaurants, bars, food trucks, you name it. 

After an evening of walking around we listened to the the record player and did not turned on the tv or though about it the whole time we were there. 

6 star experience!!!"
734018,28122736,2015-03-18,26447134,Kent,"Baxter is awesome! She was great at keeping in touch before our trip and was there to welcome us and show us the house which was nice and clean. Great kitchen with everything you need. Comfy beds. Nice back yard with table and chairs. The street is very quiet, and only short walk to South Congress and all the restaurants, shops and bars. It was perfect. I think the best part was Baxter's amazing record collection. My friends and I spent a lot of time sitting in the living room, listening to music, it was great! Would totally stay there again or recommend to a friend! "
734018,28830857,2015-03-30,29496488,Ashley,"We had a great stay at the Strawberry Cottage!  It is within walking distance to great restaurants and shops on S. Congress. 

Baxter was great.  Accommodating with our check in time and she checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. 

I saw an older review saying there was no TV, but there is one in the living room. We stayed there with our 2 sons who liked watching cartoons in the morning. "
734018,32893873,2015-05-23,27756614,Stella,"The moment I arrived at Strawberry Cottage I was welcomed by Derek (Baxter's fiance) and gorgeous munchkin Mushroom with Willie Nelson playing on the record player... What a start to my holiday... The house was clean, homely and with basic amenities already available (thanks for the coffee beans)... The beds are super comfortable, towels soft, plenty of room to hang all my thrift shop purchases, a record player to play my new vinyl purchases and the hammock outside is a dreamy must for those warm Texan afternoons... The washer & dryer was perfect for my long stay as well... This home is also smack bang in the centre of it all... A short walk to the supermarket, pharmacy, South Congress, S 1st Street and a cheap uber ride away from East Side activities (take the 35)... There are also bikes in the shed ready for a quick ride down to Barton Springs... I also found I was only minutes away from new friends who worked or lived in or around the area... Baxter was also super helpful with local cafes to start of the day and always available for any questions I might have... I felt like I was visiting an old friend rather than renting a house for a holiday and I found it hard to say goodbye to this little gem of a cottage... I am already planning my next visit to Austin and there is no doubt in my mind I will be coming back here to lay my head..."
734018,35275420,2015-06-16,16178995,Mark,"Out stay at Strawberry Cottage was fantastic. We could walk to South Congress in 5 minutes, yet the house is in such a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Everything you need is in the house and clean and fresh. The kitchen was great for cooking in, which is good because you'll want to stay in, in this beautiful and charming home and enjoy the classic decor and peacefulness that settles over when you're inside. Baxter could not have been more accommodating, taking us in with our last minute request to book. This should be THE go to place for anyone's stay in Austin!"
734018,37491568,2015-07-07,12307319,Kelci,"I can't say enough about how great our experience was at Strawberry Cottage. Baxter met us in person to show us around, and she was lovely and super accommodating. The house itself is in the absolute best location, just a few blocks from a convenience store, grocery store, and all the best bars, shops and restaurants on South Congress Ave. Despite this, we had a hard time dragging ourselves away at times because the house was so cute and the back yard was so comfortable and great for hanging out in. There were four of us staying and we had tons of room. Baxter had a brand-new air conditioning unit installed the day we got there so we were nice and cool at night. It was perfect- we'll be back!"
734018,39218879,2015-07-21,20615348,Martha,I got this house for my brother and his friends for his 30th birthday. He had a great time and really enjoyed the house. It's in a great location central to everything. Baxter was a great host. Very responsive and friendly. Not to mention you're getting an amazing price. Already recommending to all my friends.
734018,40753768,2015-08-02,3865734,Tiago,"Wonderful house within easy walking distance to all the attractions of SoCo, grocery stores, etc. Quirky and charming decor full of music themed items is the perfect setting for spending time in Austin.  The host was very friendly, had lots of knowledge about Austin and what to do there, and was very responsive to any questions or messages."
734018,47074303,2015-09-15,41639076,Christina,"We had the best visit to Austin. Baxter was great! We showed up a day early and she accommodated us. Her knowledge of the area and flexibility made our trip a breeze. We were 4 people traveling, two from abroad and we couldn't have had a better time. I would recommend the Strawberry Cottage to anyone. We can't wait to plan our next trip."
734018,47191775,2015-09-16,42501770,Brian,"Baxter, the host, was warm and welcoming.  She met us when we arrived and showed us around the place.
The record player was really cool as was the Wurlitzer piano.."
734018,47861327,2015-09-21,3328282,Sonia,Such a lovely and cozy cottage - and super easy to get to everything by foot on south congress!! Would definitely recommend it to anyone going to Austin!!
734018,49348365,2015-10-03,5354752,Heather,What can I saw about strawberry cottage other than it was the perfect experience! Baxter was super helpful with directions and info about our arrival and Austin. Wonderful stay with another couple. Loved the vintage vibe and record Player. Great yard for hanging out in and perfect location! Thanks so much for your hospitality Baxter! 
5083004,26657019,2015-02-16,13420255,Alexa,I loved everything about my stay here! Sara and Jay were wonderful hosts and easy to communicate with. I also enjoyed the space itself with the updated decor and music.  The yard was lovely and the neighbourhood is in an excellent location- walk-able distance to  delicious local restaurants  and relatively close to 6th street.  I recommend staying here!
5083004,28183846,2015-03-19,83348,Yu,Absolutely wonderful place in the stunning garden! We really had a great stay in the newly refurbished trailer. Communication and check in was super easy. Highly recommended. We would definately stay here again when in town! 
5083004,28640245,2015-03-27,20876017,Melissa,This was such a lovely place and we are already planning a trip back to stay on the property. It was so close to the city but felt like we were in the country because of how peaceful our stay was. Sara and her husband were extremely nice and helpful. I highly recommend renting the Spartan. It was so cozy and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the record player and made sure to bring some of our collection as well.
5083004,28692510,2015-03-28,1347549,Nicole,"My boyfriend and I are visiting a friend with a house in Austin which my boyfriend is helping him renovate. A plumbing project ended out being a bigger job than they expected and we needed to find a comfy place with running water for the night. I searched on Airbnb for spots that suited us and just about gave up since those we liked and in our price range were booked or just unavailable by 9pm. I decided to look one more time before settling for a hotel and Sarah's awesome trailer popped up! The decor, the vibe, and the yard looked too good to be true. We jumped on it. And thankfully she responded right away and we booked for one night. She was ready for us with 15-20 minutes. She was a really cool laid back host and she shared a new mommy! She was really knowledgeable about the history of her trailers and my boyfriend and I were really impressed with the creativity and concept her and her husband came up with to transform the space. It was such a nice, spacious, quirky place with a functioning turn table and all. i was getting myself ready to have to shower outside but to my surprise when we arrived there was a full bathroom inside. DONT be fooled by the outdoor shower photo like i was. The outdoor shower is an added perk in the yard for a hot day. And the best part for us was her house was literally three minutes away from our friends home.  But sadly we didn't get to enjoy it very long after going out to grab a bite and getting back around 1230-1. 
The yard is really cool too. I would have loved another night stay to enjoy the day on the oversized deck attached to the space and say hi to the chickens in their coops while her sweet identical dogs investigate the yard. But unfortunate for us she was already booked for the week. There is also another trailer in the yard which was occupied and a yurt that i would have loved to see inside. Its a very cool and peaceful place. I definitely see a return visit in my future. Thank you Sarah for saving us last night."
5083004,28886298,2015-03-31,17428639,Greg,"Sara's Modern Spartan Mansion Guesthouse was a great place to stay over a long weekend in Austin. The space was very nicely designed and very comfortable. Sara herself was quickly responsive to messages and easy to get ahold of. She was a great host and clearly interested in making sure our stay went well. We loved the yard with the chickens and her dogs. Location is great as well -- not far from Manor Rd in East Austin and an easy walk or Uber ride from most of what you'll want to see or do. We know we would stay here again, so we would highly recommend."
5083004,29080187,2015-04-03,3893953,William,"This place is pure magic!  I felt like I was living inside a ride at a David Lynch inspired theme park.  I cannot recommend a stay in ""The Mansion"" more and am eager to come back.  Sara was super-fast with communication and accommodation; great host and experience all around.  "
5083004,29561879,2015-04-09,2074398,Jon,"My wife and I had a fantastic time staying in the Spartan.  It's such a cool and fun space! It was also very comfortable and super clean. The photos represent the space perfectly. Sara and Jay did a phenomenal job of renovating and decorating the trailer.  We loved all the details and enjoyed having the the record player.  Sara is awesome, easy to communicate with and gave us some great recommendations on some places to eat/drink nearby. Highly recommend staying here!"
5083004,29751420,2015-04-12,1237528,Erin,"This place is just a little bit magical. 
From even before we arrived, Sara was available by text (and later, in person) to answer questions and offer help. She was kind and informative, and has a passion for the trailers she (and hers) have so lovingly restored. I mean, the Spartan is slick! The local public radio station was playing on the hi fi when we arrived and that's where we left it. So much good music! I needed a razor and she had one at our front door in moments. We could not have asked for anything more. 
The coffee provided was strong and delicious, the dogs were entertaining, the grounds are almost like out of a fairy tale. 
What a great experience!! Thanks, Sara!!
"
5083004,30594930,2015-04-24,20628913,Joe,"The Mansion was a great find! I was in Austin with my gf for 3 nights and we had a hotel for the first two but needed somewhere for the final night. I wish I had known about Sara's listing beforehand so we could have stayed there all 3 nights!
The space is comfortable, clean and really cool! The A/C was nice and kept the place cool on a hot night.
Sara was very accommodating. It was a last minute booking and we didn't arrive until 9pm ish, but the place was ready for us. We met Sara the next morning. Great host. Great property. Would highly recommend.

(Only thing to point out would be the heavy rain on the roof... But I'm a light sleeper. My gf loved the sound of the rain and said it helped her sleep)"
5083004,31651841,2015-05-08,20229864,Kalinda,"Sara was very accommodating from the beginning and texted us to make sure we had her correct address as well as how to find the Spartan Mansion. Upon arriving, it was everything it was in the pictures and then some. Seriously, this place is awesome! I loved the decor and although my boyfriend and I were out for most of the day exploring Austin, it was wonderful to have such an cool place to come back to every night. The neighborhood is quiet yet a close drive to a lot of cool spots downtown which I really liked. It is just minutes driving distance to some awesome bars and food trucks in the area. When I come back to Austin I definitely would consider staying here again!"
5083004,32368350,2015-05-17,31475273,Gina,"This was my first time using airbnb and I'm not sure the experience will ever be topped! Sara and Jay were gracious hosts and more than accomodating.  Our flights arrived late in the evening and I was worried about this but Sara  made it super easy for us to check-in.  

The mansion was stunning -- gorgeous is really the best term to use here,  and comfortable.  I'm one of those people who gets freaked out by dirty hotels, houses, etc. and this was one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed. It was hot outside and the AC cooled the entire space very quickly. A lot of love went into this place and it shows.  Every detail was thought through and well executed: from the warm, modern interior and beautiful woodwork to the shelving, built-ins and lighting that was strategically placed, the great sound system, clean and spa-like bathroom and conversation provoking books and art. -- it was all here.   Oh, and there was beer in the fridge and amazing ground coffee ready to be brewed in the morning (cream included)! This place is magical and extremely private. The surrounding gardens are great and the trailer is set back far enough so you feel like you are in your own little oasis.  Usually where I stay serves as the backdrop to my travel experiences.  This time it was at the forefront. Don't think twice about staying here -- just do it! "
5083004,32851013,2015-05-22,16669971,Lindsey,"SO awesome! Sara is kind and so accommodating. Check in and out was a breeze. The space was so great! Very cool, so well renovated and with all the necessities! Great little property as well, like their own little oasis in East Austin. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to save money and avoid a bland hotel room, great location to check out Austin!"
5083004,33078914,2015-05-25,6490414,Melody,"The Spartan was beautiful and relaxing. Sarah was a darling host and so helpful continuously throughout our stay. We visited during the rains and tornado warnings and the Spartan held up to the intense rain and kept us very warm, dry, and cozy. Sarah would check in each morning to see if we were alright! It's a beautifully designed Spartan and a lovely huge garden. "
5083004,33937606,2015-06-02,10170609,Dean & Jody,"Great place to stay in Austin. Sara was a great host. Very helpful and available to answer questions, but gave us all the privacy we could ask for. Great setting and accommodations. If anything it is nicer than it looks in the pictures. Great location to access the hotspots on east 6th and easy to get downtown from there. Would definitely stay again."
5083004,34960263,2015-06-14,31781795,Elizabeth,"Sara made us feel welcome by meeting with us, introducing us to her two dogs and being responsive to our texts ( and accommodating to our later than expected arrival). The Mansion looked as expected and just like the photos having a Twin Peaks/retro futuristic kind of asthetic. We noticed she even added a few beers in the fridge we even though we did not end up drinking thought was a nice thing to do for guests. I would stay here again if I happen to visit Austin again and will recommend to friends visiting the area.
"
5083004,37265138,2015-07-05,19468967,Cara,"We will most definitely be back and staying in the Spartan again! What a memorable getaway, 5-year anniversary, and 4th of July we had in this little slice of heaven--I wouldn't have had it any other way.

Sara was rock-steady! And the Spartan Mansion was even more awesome than the pictures! This was our first time with an Airbnb so we weren't too sure what to expect. Sara was more than accommodating for our late arrival due to a flat tire on the way down to Austin but when we stepped foot in our home for a couple of days, we forgot about all of that! She came to meet us in the morning and made sure we were happy and had all we needed. 

We had so much fun with all of her awesome suggestions and recommendations for food + drink around town and even relaxed in the mansion as much as we could and listened to the sweet collection of vinyls along with a couple Lone-Star beers. 

Couldn't have asked for a better host of a better spot! "
5083004,37573298,2015-07-08,9193325,Lauren,"Our visit to Austin was wonderful! Sara's restoration of her Imperial Mansion was obviously a labor of love, and it feels like a tiny home (I'm inspired to find marble hex tiles like hers for our bathroom back in NYC, in fact). It was lovely to spend our days exploring the city and then retreat to our secluded, leafy space. "
5083004,38057849,2015-07-12,23724306,Daniel,We had a great experience with Sara and her Spartan Mansion. The decor was great and there was plenty of space for my girlfriend and I on our BBQ roadtrip around Texas. The neighborhood was great and we found a lot of great restaraunts on the East side. The property was very nice with a very large yard to give you all the privacy you need. We felt at home for our short stay and would definitely recommend this property to anyone. 
5083004,40256681,2015-07-29,38180729,Bradford,The accommodations were mighty fun. Sara is a great host. The location is wonderful for east Austin. The trailer did get hot in the July sun but thankfully it cooled down by the time we returned from our concert. The bed was mighty comfortable. We would totally stay there again. 
5083004,44080105,2015-08-23,17591863,Richard,Amazing. Super easy to find the place and Sara gave very simple clear directions. 
5083004,45017254,2015-08-30,29508121,T.L.,"The Spartan Mansion was amazing. So beautifully decorated, with so many perfect details. As for the basic necessities, it was clean, the AC blew nice and cold, the shower water pressure was good, the bathroom and kitchenette were well-appointed and the bed was comfortable. Beyond that, the record player with the kitschy vinyl selection and the whimsical-yet-classy decor elevated the experience to a whole new level, far beyond what you'd expect from a trailer. The check-in and check-out are easy with no fuss and we were given ultimate privacy for our entire stay. I didn't want to leave! "
5083004,45720685,2015-09-05,1118903,Mirta,"The neighborhood is perfect for good food, drinks and friendly people.   Located in Sara's cool backyard, the spartan was ideal for 1 or 2, but we loved the vibe in it had. My only regret was not being able to enjoy it for for longer. Extra kudos goes to Sara for her response time, she was always available with info/answers to all my questions. "
5083004,47163051,2015-09-16,32299955,Megan,"We really enjoyed everything about this place. I was slightly skeptical about a trailer, but it was very modern and comfortable. The locations is fantastic. The neighborhood is interesting and eclectic. It's close to downtown and most everything we wanted to do was a 5-10 minute drive away. The Hosts were very nice and helpful and were very flexible about our late night arrival. They gave is great tips in what to do/see/eat. 

Added bonus: 2 friendly dogs and some cute chickens. "
5083004,47433861,2015-09-18,38781402,Susan,"We had a wonderful stay at Sara's renovated trailer!  The trailer was beautiful--way nicer than any hotel we ever would have been able to afford in Austin (and also far more comfortable and cool).  They also have a second trailer, which is good to have in case we ever go back with friends.  The trailer was super homey--we loved the record player!  Bed was comfy.  And most things in the bedroom and bathroom were white--which means they were clean!  The AC couldn't beat the Austin midday heat, but it kept us comfortable enough and nice and cool at nighttime when it cooled down a bit.  
Sara was super nice and accommodating.  We checked in around 2:00, and Sara was extremely flexible with the arrival time.  We introduced ourselves when we got there and Sara gave us tons of great advice on restaurants and bars.  Per her suggestion we visited the White Horse, and it was awesome!  
Summary:  I can't stress enough, this was the cutest place we have ever stayed.  This was our first Airbnb experience, and we'll definitely be back for more!  Thanks Sara!"
5083004,47627092,2015-09-21,24001323,Branden,This place was great and Sara was super helpful and clear with her directions! We would definitely stay here again.
5083004,48802466,2015-09-28,5098830,Edwin,"I didn't get a chance to actually meet Sara, but she did an amazing job of making my wife and I feel welcome at her Spartan AirBnB. Sara was great at answering my questions and replied to all my messages super quick!

The Spartan house is pretty spacious! It was very comfortable as soon as we first walked in because the air conditioning was on in advance (Thanks Sara!). It's got pretty much everything you need to enjoy yourself while you're not out about in the city, including fast wifi, a fridge for your delicious leftovers, and an indoor and outdoor shower.

The house is located pretty close to Manor Road, where there are a ton of great options to eat at including tacos at El Chulito, charcuterie at Dai Due, and coffee at Thunderbird."
5083004,49246296,2015-10-02,3382471,Deirdre,"My friend and I were looking for a fun, quirky, and convenient place to stay in Austin. The Modern Spartan Mansion did not disappoint! We arrived on a hot afternoon (no surprise!), and we enjoyed the couple beers that were left chilling in the fridge while we cooled off and listened to some records. The trailer is beautifully decorated from top to bottom--Sara has really thought of every detail! It was the perfect amount of space for 2 people to hang out in for several days, and both the bed and sofa are very comfortable. Sara was flexible with our arrival and departure times, which we appreciated. The location was perfect, as we were able to walk to nearby restaurants and bars, or hop in our rental for a quick drive downtown. I have been raving about our stay here, and I wouldn't hesitate to book it again the next time I am back in town."
5083004,49952431,2015-10-07,3044171,Huy,Fun vibes!
5083004,50287208,2015-10-11,17735141,Michael,Sara was a great host and I can't make more of a point of how great the design and personality is of her renovated Spartan. Communication was excellent and the location is perfect for those wanted to explore East Austin or the Downtown area.
5083004,50802365,2015-10-14,45827456,Crista,What a delightful experience to stay at this fabulous location. Everything was wonderful. Thank you Sara. 
5083004,51819807,2015-10-24,8000437,Rick,Wonderfully styled and decorated. Favorite juice place (juice land) less than a mile away and a quick 5 min drive downtown.  Would recommend 
1019294,11061337,2014-03-18,11068244,Doug,Jean was such a gracious host and provided anything you could want. She was even able to help us out of a bind when accidentally locked ourselves out of the place. It's a very peaceful place and easy to relax. Highly recommended. 
259845,966491,2012-03-03,1651940,Rik,"This is a great house! 
It is big and clean and well decorated.
The room I stayed in was so sunny!

The owner is very accommodating. "
259845,1051968,2012-03-27,261710,Alex,"Lia and her mother made our stay in Austin extremely pleasant.  The room has very pretty views, and gets beautiful light in the morning, and the house is on a quiet street.  If you stay here, you will likely be happy with your choice."
259845,1578969,2012-06-28,1371953,Delfin,"Tuve la suerte de encontrar en Linda Crockett, para una estadía de tres meses en Austin, una persona encantadora, cálida, amable y servicial, como era de esperarse de una puertorriqueña nata. Desde un primer momento me sentí en una situación familiar, y las prestaciones de la casa, cuarto, sala, baño y cocina, son inmejorables (sólo el piano necesita una afinación...). Linda también es una excelente guía y fuente de información para conocer Austin y disfrutar su oferta cultural (es directiva del Mexican American Cultural Center, importante institución de la comunidad latina que ostenta uno de los edificios de mejor arquitectura en la ciudad).

Poseer un auto en Austin y Texas parece ser la norma, y aunque la casa está servida por varias líneas de autobuses, conviene informarse de antemano de los horarios si no se quiere esperar indefinidamente su paso. En autobús se está en la Universidad de Texas en unos 15 minutos, y en el centro en menos tiempo aún. Un punto a tener en cuenta, sin necesidad de alarmarse ni obsesionarse por él, sino simplemente tomar las debidas precauciones, es que la casa está a dos cuadras y media de una esquina ""caliente"" (12th St. & Chicon). Aunque hay evidente tráfico de drogas en este punto, la convivencia y el tránsito por él suelen ser pacíficos. También es fácil evitar esta esquina utilizando otras paradas de autobuses que están a igual o menor distancia de la casa.

La bicicleta es otra opción de transporte, si bien Austin no es una ciudad totalmente plana y hay que estar en muy buena forma para pedalear por algunas de sus empinadas calles.

En general, mi recomendación para una estadía con Linda en el histórico Austin East Side es absoluta. Estén preparados para un sincero abrazo de bienvenida de esta inmejorable anfitriona.
"
259845,2646916,2012-10-18,2293902,Garrett,Lovely people and house. Location and amenities was exactly as advertised. Would gladly stay here again if I ever return. 
259845,2767054,2012-10-30,710142,Thomas,We had a great time staying with Linda in this nook of Austin. It was perfect for our 2 days of exploring town. A quick bike ride or drive from UT-Austin and downtown/6th street. The house is as nice as it looks in the photos. Linda was incredibly welcoming and we had a lot of fun chatting with her and learning about the city.
259845,3715082,2013-03-07,4912709,Gabriela,"Linda is an amazing host!!! Her house is beautiful and she is lovely! Since the day I arrive she was very nice, she gave me goods advices and was always trying to help! The house is very clean and lovely!!! I truly recommend everyone to stay at her house!"
259845,3733258,2013-03-09,2941823,Anton,A wonderful host in a beautiful house. Can not recommend it highly enough - a great experience all around. Thank you!
259845,3803691,2013-03-17,4153184,Zoe,"Linda was a very accommodating host. Her house is in a convenient location which is very walkable from downtown (minus huge suit cases!) The bus stop for downtown is also close by. The room and bathroom were tidy and well equipped with lots of nice touches like maps, water etc. Coffee in the morning was much appreciated. Would highly recommend Linda's place for anyone looking for great and affordable accommodation near downtown Austin. "
259845,4328102,2013-04-28,5819304,John,"I had a wonderful time exploring Austin, and having this nice home to return to each night. Linda was a thoughtful and accommodating host who made my stay very enjoyable. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed. I enjoyed use of the kitchen, and the Internet connection worked well.

While not my first choice for location, it turned out to be about perfect. The neighborhood is quiet, and it was easy to walk or take the bus anywhere I wanted to go, even late at night. Morning walks to downtown were nice, and people along the way were friendly. There are so many nice places to eat, from food carts to restaurants, some within walking distance. Several farmer's markets are close by, different days of the week, along with nice parks and trails to explore."
259845,8038707,2013-10-14,1935699,Stephanie,We had a great visit! The bed slept well. Linda was nice and helpful with suggestions about Austin. The house was very close to Downtown and quiet. Everything was very relaxed and just right for us. We've already discussed visiting again on a non-event weekend.
259845,8813765,2013-11-19,8782418,Jarryd,"I stayed with Linda and Anya while I visited Austin for the US F1 Grand Prix, I absolutely loved my stay and Linda was a terrific host and even gave me a lift to the airport to catch my next flight. I would recommend Linda to anyone who is travelling to Austin, the house is lovely and located close the city, I found it was about a 20 minute walk to downtown (fast walker!) and suited me perfectly for my stay."
259845,9286264,2013-12-18,10262143,Anna,"Linda is the best host, very warm and hospitable and with interesting stories to tell. Her house also has a warm atmosphere with lots of nice touches like candles and art. It is immaculately clean. The room is a good size with a comfortable bed. Reliable wi-fi. Some very good cafés and food carts on nearby Rosewood Ave. Strongly recommended. "
259845,10917696,2014-03-13,10155842,Emmanuel,Lovely house. Quiet street. Linda is very caring for visitors.
259845,11043142,2014-03-18,362607,Sherryl,"We are three adults from Australia and stayed 5 nights at Linda's house during SXSW and had a great time. Austin is fantastic and Linda's house has everything you need, close to downtown and very comfortable and spacious. Linda made us feel relaxed and at home from the start with the kitchen open to us to make breakfast and get ready for the busy days ahead. Linda provided us with loads of information about Austin. Thankyou Linda and we hope to see you in Australia on one of your ventures: bring Lia with you. Smiles Sherryl, Pat and Carolyn.

She is an amazing, very quiet and friendly person, definitely made us feel at home and well we loved her little chihuahua Charlie. We are going to miss you.

Thanks for having us in ur home. We definitely hope to see u again.

259845,23430841,2014-12-01,21520564,Fulvio,"Linda foi uma excelente e simpática anfitriã, durante todo o tempo que eu estive hospedado lá (30 dias). Ajudou-me nas dificuldades iniciais de me orientar em Austin, ao me auxiliar na ida ao supermercado e me informar sobre o transporte público de Austin. Da mesma forma, Lia (sua filha) me indicou, no primeiro dia, a localização de vários restaurantes. Mesmo o pequeno Charlie (cachorro) também é bastante carismático. Quanto ao local, é necessária a utilização de carro ou ônibus para acessar a University of Texas ou outras regiões centrais, porém a parada de ônibus fica bem próxima, de forma que possível circular pela cidade sem grandes dificuldades. A casa é bastante agradável. O quarto é limpo e bem iluminado e tem uma cama confortável, embora eu senti falta de um mesa de estudo. É um excelente opção para ficar em Austin."
259845,27993832,2015-03-16,5470652,Alexandra,"A perfect place to stay for South by Southwest, or to explore Austin in general. Easy to get into the city, lovely room, excellent shower, and very welcoming atmosphere. Wished I'd been able to spend more time there enjoying breakfast but there was too much to get out and do!"
259845,28375706,2015-03-23,8823778,Gaby,Linda's house was so homely and lovely! It was a perfect spot for sxsw and we walked downtown from the house everyday. Linda provided delicious treats for breakfast and her little dog Charlie was so cute! We already want to come back!
259845,45788017,2015-09-06,34451813,Rebal,"Linda was not only a kind and warmhearted host, but also a great source of advice when it came to commuting, dining out, looking for places to stay, and living in Austin in general. Moreover, the house was very cozy and the area was pleasant."
1721437,9901978,2014-01-18,10624670,Joy,"Michelle's place is lovely.  Having two bedrooms, each with its own bath was perfect for us.  The kitchen was well stocked with everything you need.  Plenty of parking for 2 (or more) cars.  
"
1721437,10427881,2014-02-18,3019474,Jenny,"I rented Michelle's flat for my mother and her friend, who were visiting me in Austin. They thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The flat was spacious and comfortable -- a perfect retreat for them. Additionally, Michelle was incredibly responsive and accommodating when their flights were cancelled due to weather; without her help, we all would have been stuck! I will definitely contact Michelle again when I have other visitors who'd like a little more space than my tiny house can afford. Can't recommend her and her place highly enough!"
1721437,12592316,2014-05-05,6170118,Melissa,"We had a great stay at Michelle's home in Austin. It is a clean bright, upstairs apartment over the garage (which we appreciated being able to store our bikes in during our stay). Had room for 2 cars to park in the driveway as well.  Easy access off freeways. 
Two bedrooms and two baths worked perfectly for the 4 of us. Being a fragrance free house was also a plus. Michelle was very quick to respond to when asked for suggestions on where to eat too. Would definitely recommend staying with Michelle."
1721437,14128759,2014-06-12,15882988,Danielle,This was a steal! My best friend and I pictured ourselves actually moving to Austin and living at Michelle's place. The 2BR/2BA was more than enough space for the four of us who were visiting Austin for the first time. It's located in a great neighborhood--it felt central to most of the places we wanted to visit. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 
1721437,22394846,2014-11-05,16295169,Chris,"Flat was great and easy access to downtown.  We were in town for the Formula 1 race and getting around was simple.  

Very nice to have private bathrooms for both couples.  

Also, Michelle was very responsive to any questions we had there were no issues getting in touch with her.  "
1721437,22651743,2014-11-11,21696708,Susan,"If you're looking for a quiet, centrally located flat during your stay in Austin, I would highly recommend Michelle's apartment.

Both bedrooms and the living room were spacious, so it was awesome to come home and relax after a couple of long days exploring Austin. "
1721437,24377369,2014-12-27,15495549,Jennifer,I booked this location for my aunt and uncle over the holidays and they loved it. They said they were extremely comfortable and felt right at home.
1721437,26669105,2015-02-16,26792316,Danielle,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1721437,26700041,2015-02-17,11037690,Amy,Great place!  We had everything we needed to to feel welcome and comfortable. This is a very convenient location and the fact that it is a little tucked back from the street makes it quiet and private. The parking is so convenient too. We would definitely stay here again. 
1721437,27355536,2015-03-02,27242969,Jess,My friend and I stayed in this beautiful apartment over a weekend. It was extremely comfortable and provided everything that we could possibly need for our stay. I could not give a higher recommendation if you are looking for a place to stay in Austin. 
1721437,28300017,2015-03-22,3017540,Melissa,"We had a great stay at Michelle's place! We had another airbnb cancel on us so we were happy to find this great place. It was exactly as advertised and we loved the neighborhood. There was a temporary issue with the internet/cable but Tim got back to me asap and made all efforts to address the problem. Luckily it rectified itself! 
Overall a perfect space for me and a friend who each wanted a bedroom and ability to lounge around in a comfy space in the morning before heading out. The art work was also really amazing. Would stay again in a heartbeat!"
1721437,28951740,2015-04-01,6396536,James,Our long weekend at the apartment was great.  The large living room / kitchen area was attractive and comfortable.  The neighborhood was great - within walking distance of cafes.  We liked the off street parking in a quiet neighborhood.
1721437,31641457,2015-05-08,10624670,Joy,This is the second time I've stayed at Michelle's place.  It is just lovely.  So comfortable -- everything you need.  Likely to stay again.  
1721437,32787953,2015-05-21,18701803,Maury,"We couldn't have been more comfortable in Michelle's place. Clean, bright, spacious. Lovely, quiet, leafy neighborhood. Downtown Austin, South of Congress, Lamar, and other places you'd want to go are all minutes away. We found her place so relaxing, we ended up hanging at ""home"" a lot more than we'd expected. Great trip, thank you!"
1721437,42955176,2015-08-16,12589191,Selby,"Perfect Perfect Perfect! This is my third airbnb this year and it was the best so far! There was just nothing missing. We arrived after a 12 hour drive to a LOVELY, cool,well-furnished apartment, with water in the fridge, coffee and filters in the cupboard, and comfortable beds. The fixtures are all new, floors and countertops beautiful. A comfy couch and some chairs. A garage for our car, and a washer and dryer in the garage. Lacking for NOTHING! With the exception of not knowing about the long stairway up to the apartment ( not an issue for us, but could be for some) there were no surprises. FANTASTIC !"
1721437,46308360,2015-09-09,19298937,Dyamon,"Michelle's place was really comfortable and located in a great neighborhood. HEB was around the corner and the UT campus was not too far away. Other than the internet going out at times, it was a great place to stay for the weekend. "
1721437,47705022,2015-09-21,26317374,Christopher,It was exactly as the photos portrayed. Very close to everything. My younger brother and I attended the Lonestar Le Mans at Circuit of the Americas and were able to get to the track in 30 minutes. I would definitely stay here again.
1721437,49804926,2015-10-06,36653337,Getaneh,"This place has the potential to be great due to its location and spacious layout; however, it needs some serious attention. 

The floor boards were dirty and dusty. The shower curtains were stained. The seemingly new furniture and appliances were faulty. The Internet went from spotty to non-existent.  The covers, pillow cases, and sheets were a dingy white color with shreds and holes in them and there were two towels in the entire two bedroom apartment. 

When we arrived, we were asked to take out the trash (I'm assuming from a previous visitor because it was our first day there) and there were dirty pans in the oven. Very disappointing."
2426219,10896219,2014-03-11,4761514,Scott,"Sam's house was great !  Exactly as advertised.  Real comfy with a modern / retro vibe.  Back yard is great for dogs and hanging out.  It's a little less than 4 miles in a straight shot to downtown Austin.  Some cool restaurants within a mile or 2 of the neighborhood (Torchy's Tacos -- for
Breakfast or lunch !) definitely recommend staying here if you're looking to spend some time in Austin. Thanks Sam !"
76911,29725967,2015-04-12,18407440,Daniel,"Peter was extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. He was an excellent host. Highly recommended.

And the house was terrific. Clean, comfortable and great for our large group. Beds were really comfortable. The front and back porches were especially nice and while we were there, we spent a lot of our time outside. Kitchen had everything we needed to make meals for ourselves. Bonus points for the quirky decor - definitely reflected the Austin flair. Overall, a wonderful house which provided a great launching pad for our weekend in Austin. "
76911,31170290,2015-05-03,23620690,Sara,"The house is perfect for large groups, with a large kitchen, porch and backyard. The rooms are comfortable and the decor is super quirky and memorable. The location is perfect! Walking distance to coffee, restaurants and convenience store. Our host did everything to make our stay as welcoming and comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend this location to any large group. I would definitely stay here again. "
76911,37955257,2015-07-12,30296108,Steve,The owners were very helpful in advance of the trip and upon arrival in making sure we were set up properly.  The location of the home is fantastic on the East Side of Austin - very near many food trucks and a short 3/4 mile walk to downtown.  The house very comfortably sleeps 12+ people.
76911,39761457,2015-07-26,2534592,David,"Peter's place was absolutely fantastic for my group of 11 guys.  Tons of sleeping space, a great yard to hang out in, and an absolutely excellent location.  Walked to Franklins, dirty 6th, and a number of other classic Austin spots.  Would love to come back.  Thanks Peter!"
76911,40761208,2015-08-02,27121848,Eric,"Amazing location, house and host. Very eclectic house with tons of room - we slept 12 very comfortably. Corn hole out back, stereo that plays throughout the whole house and walkable to many places. Would absolutely stay again. "
76911,43062579,2015-08-17,15321527,George,"Fantastic location, even better host. Great spot for 10 of us to hang for the weekend and see all the neighborhoods Austin has to offer."

1419863,6642563,2013-08-19,2920825,Stephanie,"The house was perfect, very clean and decorated so great! We had everything we needed. We also loved the good restaurants and bars in the area and the bikes were awesome we could ride down town in minutes.We would stay here again in a heart beat."
1419863,7040583,2013-09-04,3685283,Cristina,"I had a great stay in Abianne's East Side Bungalow.  It's a very comfortable space, very clean, and everything I needed. It's on a quiet street but close enough to everything, especially by bike.  I found the single speed road bike was great for getting around town and I didn't even need to rent a car.  She had even left some food in the fridge so I could make breakfast tacos so I didn't need to worry about grocery shopping right away.  She was very responsive to all of my questions and she really loves Austin and the neighborhood so had good info and suggestions.  I highly recommend this place!"
1419863,7333049,2013-09-16,6309344,Rebecca,The house was really cute and in a great location. Abianne was extremely easy to work with and I would definitely rent from her again!
1419863,7469873,2013-09-21,6925160,Asa,"Abi was a great host - she was very responsive, and the flat was set up very nicely. 

If you're looking for a great location to explore Austin - this bungalow is perfect. It's very close to a lot of the very cool stuff on the East Side. "
1419863,7553202,2013-09-24,8001035,Leah,"Where to start? I guess the word amazing pretty well sums it up. We could not have picked a better place to stay for the weekend. When we arrived the house was pristinely clean and just as beautiful as the pictures had indicated. Abianne made everything as easy as possible by making sure we knew the codes to everything and leaving her contact information if we had any questions. She even got local beer and breakfast taco fixings to make our stay that much  more enjoyable. The house itself is awesome. The bed I slept in was so comfortable that I never wanted to leave. The location was also perfect for everything we needed as it is close to awesome restaurants, a 10 minute cab to downtown area, and close enough to the highway to make getting anywhere in the city easy. Everyone in our group kept saying in throughout the weekend - we hit the jackpot with Abianne's place. It seriously was perfect for us and I couldn't be more happy with our stay! I have already verbally recommended Abianne's place to my friends in the area for the next time they have visitors. "
1419863,7615905,2013-09-26,8914041,Scott,"Abianne was a wonderful host. Very clean and beautiful home. Perfect location near East Austin bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again when we visit Austin, "
1419863,7743414,2013-10-01,8145657,Alex,"Abianne is so rad! Her place is perfect and the bikes were a huge bonus! Super clean and she provides real beds with real sheets. No stiff beds here.  My wife and I just had out first year anniversary in Austin and it was so much fun. The place is right up the street from two amazing bars that both have the East Side King trucks! The whole side of town is awesome! 

When we go back we will book with her for sure!! "
1419863,8131479,2013-10-17,7728420,Cynthia,Abianne place was just as described. We enjoyed staying there and would book again if we were in Austin. Abianne was very prompt and responded quickly to any questions I had before and during our stay. Her place was also very clean and cute. Would recommend to others staying in Austin. She has bikes were a plus
1419863,8276574,2013-10-23,3057706,Tara,Abianne's place was just as perfect as it looked in the photos! It was a great place to explore the city from with lots of amazing stuff going on close by in the east end.  The little touches like breakfast taco supplies and great Austin magazines and city guides along with her amazing personal recommendations made the stay all that much better.  The availability of bikes was also a huge plus given how spread out the city is- but word of warning Austin is way more hilly than one would think! She was a great host who communicated quickly and was flexible when we asked to extend our stay. Would stay there again in a heartbeat and will definitely recommend to any friends heading to Austin! 
1419863,8370427,2013-10-28,753276,Phoebe,"We loved Abianne's place! It was so cozy and clean. It's in walking distance of some really great restaurants, bars, and music venues. The backyard is adorable and the perfect place to relax with a cold beer. We would definitely stay here again!"
1419863,8715475,2013-11-13,9095976,Joseph,"This rental was perfect!! It was a beautiful house fully equipped with everything you could possible want. Great location, walking distance to many wonderful bars and restaurants.
Abianne was a gracious host, and very accommodating. She made us feel extremely welcome.
I highly recommend this house and would definitely stay here again.
"
1419863,8812795,2013-11-19,5787535,Raymond,"Abianne has got a nice a little bungalow that's really neat and clean. Plenty of linens for everyone. Clear and concise instructions on what's available (such as wifi) and what we need to do before we leave. Location is just far enough away from downtown that we don't have to deal with the hustle and bustle when we woke up or when we were going to bed, yet it's close enough that we walked to downtown instead of driving on several occasions. Great suggestions for places to eat. Never got to sample Franklin's BBQ, just didn't have the time in the morning, but we did go to Joe's Bakery twice, really awesome place. 

Bottom line is, had we stayed in the downtown area, we would probably end up hanging around downtown all the time with the exception of going to COTA for the race. I am really glad we stayed in East Austin.

Abianne, thanks for being a great host! We are probably not coming back for next year's F1 race, but whenever I do come back, maybe SXSW, I will certainly try to stay at your place. "
1419863,9069050,2013-12-04,9249388,Rocco,"Great hostess, most accommodating for all of our needs.  Location was perfect for everything we needed to do. Few issues though: no way to make a simple cup of coffee - there was a press and beans that we did not know how to use, and when we opted for tea, could not find a clean pot to use to boil water. We went out every morning to get takeout coffee for the group.Second issue was with airbnb - seemed like the preferred communication method was Facebook and we do not have an account. And, lastly, we came with five people and there was not appropriate bedding for all. One son got to sleep on the floor on an airmattress and the other had to make do with a non-pullout couch (most uncomfortable)."
1419863,9267771,2013-12-17,1439593,Michael,"Abianne and her place were great.  Very clean and well designed home which easily accommodates two couples.  It's conveniently located to 11th street and east 6th and is just minutes from downtown and south congress.

Great place!"
1419863,9441561,2013-12-29,4413791,Mandy,"
Abianne is a great host! She was helpful, well-organized and responsive. 

The place was clean and cute and everything was so easy. Being able to bike around the city was a great way to see everything. 

If you're staying there check out Gormands.

1419863,10602462,2014-02-27,11327921,Chelsy,"Abianne's place is absolutely fantastic. This was our first time using Airbnb and now we can't shut up about it! The house was in a great location, we could walk to some fun neighborhood restaurants and bars and the place was so cute and clean and comfortable. I seriously felt a little homesick for it after we left :) Stay here! You'll love it!"
1419863,10737633,2014-03-05,5112714,Joyce,"This is one of the top Air BnB places I have stayed--clean and bright and cute and comfortable. Abianne was an excellent communicator and we had a fabulous time in her place. My
husband stayed there with two friends and there was plenty 
of room and it was a good place to cook. We will stay there again 
and already have it booked. Thanks!"

The neighborhood is cute and quiet, but has plenty to offer without needing to go all the way downtown. Her place is impeccably kept and cutely decorated. We will be back! "
1419863,11926765,2014-04-19,13317272,Laurie,"What a lovely, clean, nicely decorated and welcoming house and.  So many thoughtful details were tended to in the house, and Abianne was marvelous about getting right back to me with any questions I had for her.  The breakfast taco fixings, six pack of beer in the fridge and coffee set-up just pushed the entire experience over the top. Thanks to this excellent first experience with AirBnB, I can't wait to use AirBnb for lodging again."
1419863,12174228,2014-04-25,7048479,Jenny,Abianne's house was perfect! Charming. Clean. Great walkable and bike friendly neighborhood.

1419863,12681910,2014-05-08,5657929,Dave,"I've been coming to Austin for 5yrs, and from now on I will only stay here.  Wonderful house on the east side (which is where you want to be).  Abi really has made this a wonderful and warm place to stay - and the extra ""creature comforts"" make a real difference.  Also having bicycles available really made it easy to get around locally.  Great communication throughout the process made dealing with Abi an absolute pleasure."
1419863,12876260,2014-05-13,5112714,Joyce,"Really, this place is a gem and this is the second time our family

My family loved the house and its creature comforts-- free parking, air conditioning, cable, full kitchen, nearby restaurants, etc."

I definitely plan on returning!"
1419863,14626365,2014-06-23,15697882,Jennifer,"The place easily accommodated our party of 4 for a girls weekend.  The house was decorated cute and very clean.  Abianne was a wonderful host, and left us some supplies for breakfast tacos and beer :)  The place was walking distance to some great breakfast places (Blue Dahlia and the Farmacy).  We used a cab/uber to get around at night, it wasn't in a location we felt good walking in at night by ourselves.  Cabs were quite cheap and quick however, so it wasn't a problem at all.  We would definitely return!"

1419863,16957420,2014-08-04,134168,Darita,"The house was perfect, exactly as represented.  There is so much room to maneuver, it feels bigger than it is.  Beds were very comfortable.  Abianne was prompt in her reply and easy to communicate with.  I will stay here again.  "
1419863,17402343,2014-08-11,5579813,Marlo,"Abianne's house is a perfect spot to stay for a trip to Austin!  It was just as described, clean and welcoming.  It was an easy walk to plenty of great restaurants and a short drive or bike to downtown, campus or Zilker.  We had a great time!"
1419863,17870033,2014-08-18,11830349,Nathan,"Great place to stay, centrally located to all BBQ joints, bars, and attractions. Beds were comfy and the stocked fridge was a nice added bonus!"
1419863,18835596,2014-09-01,20135624,Billy,"Abianne's cute little house was a great place for my daughter and I to spend 4 days exploring Austin. This was our first time staying at a vacation rental and it was so much better than the expensive hotel we stayed at last time. The kitchen, two cute bedrooms, washer and dryer, and comfortable living room all made us feel like we were home. And the delicious breakfast burritos and gourmet coffee and tea were icing on the cake. 
Thanks Abianne! "
1419863,18945375,2014-09-03,16265886,Jing Li,"The house is spacious and clean, and parking right on the driveway is a bonus! Abianne was responsive and prompt in all communications, with clear instructions for check in and check out. The house is close to plenty of bbq spots, and we were at Franklin 2 days in a row! Overall a smooth and comfortable stay."
1419863,19519619,2014-09-14,6309344,Rebecca,"This was our second time to stay at Abianne's house and it was just as great as the first time. Cute house, perfect location, stocked with everything we needed. We'll be back!"
1419863,19884422,2014-09-20,20023579,Gary,"Awesome home, great location, combine this with Uber and you have the perfect mix for staying in Austin. :)))
"
1419863,20345415,2014-09-28,19806056,Melody,"Super cute house! It was great place to stay for the extended wekend. The house was lovely, comfy, centrally located to to tons attractions. Beds were very comfortable. X-tra goodies in the fridge were a nice touch!!!!"
1419863,23383979,2014-11-30,23145700,Rosetta,Very cute home. Would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Austin.
1419863,25759141,2015-01-25,10834023,Katrina,"My friend and I decided to take a long weekend trip, and chose to visit Austin. East Austin, in particular, is a great place to stay, especially if you are a foodie. The location was within walking distance of many amazing restaurants/food trucks/coffee shops, like Franklin BBQ, Qui, Veracruz All Natural, and Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors, and felt perfectly safe to walk when we weren't using Uber. If you're not renting a car, Uber is also a great resource...we never waited more than 4 minutes for a ride. The house itself was comfortable and warm, and Abianne is easy to get in touch with when you need something or have a question."
1419863,26195400,2015-02-06,18361477,Graham,This place is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone! Abianne made the stay very enjoyable and her instructions for entering the house were very clear even though she was out of town. The description is accurate and the house is very clean and very neat. Lovely stay. 
1419863,27306781,2015-03-01,5549522,Stacey,"Abianne was a great host.  She made our check in and check out process a breeze and was responsive to any questions we had.  She also left us a cool list of places to eat and check out in Austin (and the places to eat were pretty tasty).  Her bungalow provided plenty of space for three adults as there were queen sized beds in both bedrooms.  I also had some serious kitchen envy!  We also really enjoyed the fact that she had cable, Apple TV and really good WiFi.  Abilene's bungalow is also very close to downtown and areas where we play.  I would stay here again."
1419863,28085422,2015-03-17,1686287,Bryan,"house was everything we expected - and then some.  in addition to a lovely home in an ideal location, abianne sorted us with a list of local attractions + restaurants and some of the best coffee i've ever had .  i went in with lofty expectations and the home + host exceeded all of them."
1419863,28206871,2015-03-20,26494017,Stacey,"This was such a lovely place and in a great location!  Abianne communicated with us prior to our visit, so we were all set when we arrived.  The home was clean and cozy.  There were beer, chips and salsa for us when we arrived - what a great welcome gift!

Would highly recommend to other visitors and look forward to staying here again on my next visit to Austin!"
1419863,28719878,2015-03-29,7261063,Rose,"This place is exceptional and I would recommend it to anyone! The bungalow was exactly how it was advertised, and then some. Abianne made us feel so welcome and left us a lot of great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Plus, the location is perfect -- we walked everywhere. "
1419863,30228891,2015-04-19,30102444,Bretton,"Great location, Host made the entire process so easy and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay."
1419863,31931430,2015-05-12,5657929,Dave,"Always a joy staying at Abianne's lovely house. Great area close to everything you want on the East side, the house is well pointed & very comfortable. Abi goes the extra mile to make sure you are welcome & comfortable. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Austin."
1419863,32538731,2015-05-19,23062671,Bao,"Abby's place in east Austin was fantastic, close to pretty much everything and the food recs she gave were spot on. The house was lovely :) thanks again for letting us stay over. "
1419863,33275615,2015-05-26,2258666,Robert,"Great communication and hospitality from host. This house is within walking distance to restaurants and bars. The use of the backyard, bikes and laundry is a great addition to renting this spot. I recommend this place for a group of friends or a family of four."
1419863,35467874,2015-06-19,14902441,Kate,"Such a cute place to stay! The house is clean and comfortable, with easy access to all Austin has to offer. Abbey was great, answering all my questions super quickly and making sure I had everything I needed for my trip. "
1419863,35666402,2015-06-21,31360790,Bailey,Abbey's house was exactly as described and looked just like the pictures!  It was located very close to the nightlife scene in East Austin and close to i35 for access to just about anywhere.  She made us feel welcome with a written greeting and case of beer and had easy to read instructions for checkout.  This is the best place I've stayed in Austin and felt like home away from home- perfect for our group of 6 to spend the weekend!
1419863,36388992,2015-06-28,31819246,Amber,Abbey was very responsive and answered all my questions quickly. Her check in and check out instruction were very clear and simple. The house was super cute and looked just like the pictures! The bathroom was huge and perfect enough for 6 girls to get ready at once. I definitely recommend Abbey and her cute bungalow. Location was very close to everything and easy access to 35. 
1419863,37085591,2015-07-04,35097750,Matthew,"Abbey's house was absolutely perfect! Not only was it clean, spacious, well-lit, and very easy to get in/out of, but Abbey left some complimentary welcome gifts and made us feel right at home. If I had to, I would have booked Abbey's place ten times over for our trip!"
1419863,37749129,2015-07-10,33293143,Bettie,"Abbey was accommodating and the house was bigger and more spacious that our group thought it would be. There were no issues whatsoever.   Very close to downtown, which is what we needed.  
"
1419863,37994480,2015-07-12,21928664,Michael,Abbey's home was incredibly welcoming and was a wonderful location for our Austin weekend. 
1419863,39020367,2015-07-20,9367709,Ashley,Abbey was incredibly accommodating to our large group's needs in regards to adjusting check in and check out times. Her home is very clean and cutely decorated. We had an amazing time and would recommend it! The neighborhood was up and coming and close to a few good shops and restaurants. The location was an easy uber drive to everywhere we wanted to go! 
1419863,39805011,2015-07-26,35031094,Larissa,"Great location with a backyard that included bikes and picnic table. Abbey's house had awesome beds with super comfy sheets and pillows. One friend even skipped the air mattress in favor of the best couch ever. She was super quick to answer emails and getting us more towels the same day. Flex check in and out was great. Big bathroom and kitchen, perfect for 3 couples. Don't forget to check out her sweet Texas themed throw pillow."
1419863,41795685,2015-08-09,19177514,Grace,"I stayed at Abbey's place for a weekend in August with 6 other girls for one of my best friend's Bachelorette parties. The house was exactly as described and comfortably is able to sleep at least 8 people - there are 3 bedrooms with double-sized beds, a VERY comfy couch, and an air mattress in one of the closets. The home was clean and easy to find and we felt at home right away. While it's definitely not walking distance to downtown, it's a short 10min drive to most places we went in Austin - 6th Street, Congress, and Rainey is where we went. It's also a $25 Uber ride to Barton Springs, which I highly recommend checking out! Abbey was a wonderful host - she was very responsive to my emails prior to our arrival + my texts during our stay, and left detailed instructions on checking in/out, where to find things in the house, and some recos for everything from Brunch to BBQ to a local market. Abbey was also flexible on our check in + out time, allowing us to check in early as well as leave our bags there after checkout, which we picked up a couple hours later on our way to the airport. We had a fabulous time and I would absolutely recommend Abbey's home to other visitors of Austin!"
1419863,43962110,2015-08-23,38405324,Miranda,"We had a fabulous stay at Abbey's bungalow. It is adorable, spotless, and tastefully updated and decorated. Abbey provided a bunch of recommendations on things to do and places to eat in Austin, and the house is very close to everything. It was the perfect getaway and a very comfortable stay for the four of us college girlfriends!"
1419863,46753600,2015-09-13,41359543,Lauren,Our visit was great! We had 9 girls staying with us and the house accommodated us very comfortably!  It was very clean and Abbey even had beer in the fridge and coffee for us to use. She also stopped by for a minute because she heard the house was out of trash bags so she wanted to make sure we had some (very thoughtful)! Overall we had a great stay and I would definitely stay there again! 
1419863,47641964,2015-09-21,3040408,Kelsey,"Abbey connected with me long before we were even set to arrive. She was very communicative and gave me TONS of suggestions for places to check out while in Austin.

She let us check in early too, which was super helpful."
1419863,48061976,2015-09-23,446564,Victoria,"The Bungalow is in a great spot and very comfortable. Very clean, fresh towels and plenty of room, there's also a great laundry and drier - that was really handy! We had ice cold beers waiting in the fridge and getting in on a hot day, it was a real treat having them on the front porch. Thank you Abbey!"
1419863,48498324,2015-09-27,32668965,Lindsay,This house was adorable! It was perfect for our girls weekend. Abbey was quick with any questions I had and everything was very clean and set up for easy access. I really really enjoyed my stay at this great bungalow! 
1419863,49588070,2015-10-05,4447885,Talia,"Abbey's house was the perfect size for us (3 couples). It was very clean and perfectly adorable. The place was equipped with all our necessities. There were plenty of towels and even enough shampoo, conditioner and soap for everyone! Location was perfect and very safe. I would definitely recommend Abbey's house to anyone traveling in a group."
1419863,50429154,2015-10-12,33539010,Tommy,"The place was very clean and welcoming. Abbey had great recommendations for food/drinks nearby. Although the area is considered a ""shady"" area of Austin, the neighborhood felt very safe, everyone was very friendly, and very easy to get to places on foot/bike. Abbey had a lot of small touches that were fantastic: 4 bikes that we could use to get around Austin, tons of silverware/dishware, air mattresses for our use, an Apple TV and Google ChromeCast."
1419863,51124643,2015-10-18,5309851,Phil,I got married in Austin a few weeks back and some friends stayed at Abby's place. They had a very  nice experience and Abby was friendly and patient about coordinating with my friends. 
1419863,51881955,2015-10-25,32910447,Nick,"Abbey made our group very welcome from the moment we walked in the house. There was a list with information about the house, provided suggestions on where to eat in the area. The house was close to downtown just like the description in her listing. I would definitely stay at Abbey's house the next time I visit Austin. Thank you again for the hospitality and being flexible with a couple of my guests. "
1419863,52694480,2015-11-01,32049430,Courtney,Thank you Abbey for a wonderful stay! The house was perfect. It was clean and had everything we needed. She even had beer in the fridge and a bottle of wine waiting for us on the counter when we walked in. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 
5340114,46055878,2015-09-07,42770805,Cat,"Both the house and location were perfect for our group of six. The house had everything we needed. It was newly remodeled and was fully
stocked with supplies. One of the best features of the house was that it was a short walk to South Congress and not far from downtown. Adam was very responsive and took care of us. I would definitely stay again. "
5340114,47880494,2015-09-21,44131397,Chris,"The house was great for us.  We were three guys in town for a sports car race and needed a quiet place in a convenient location.  Reasonably close to all that SOCO has to offer, and just a quick ride to downtown.  Easy access to the highways out to the track or the airport.  The House was nicely updated, well appointed, and very clean."
2832008,15711230,2014-07-14,17301001,Tracy,Jay was wonderful.  The house was amazing and we felt right at home.  It was our first time in Austin and we enjoyed our weekend very much.  Will rent with Jay again.
2832008,16313779,2014-07-25,5267267,Teresa,"This is a great location with privacy, quiet, and all one needs for a great stay.  We really enjoyed the space, and amentities including the record player, books, magazines, etc.  The patio is a great space in the mornings.  The neighborhood is quiet but close to good restaurants, stores and more.  Easy to get around town from here.  Very clean and well appointed.  Love the keypad lock so you don't have to keep up with keys and meeting times for exchange."
2832008,20818884,2014-10-06,15187588,Christina,"I stayed at the Austinite unit B over ACL weekend with a group of friends. Jay was very accommodating in allowing us a 3 night stay when generally he requires 4 nights for events. Leading up to our stay I received more than adequate communication from Jay about the house, policies, and suggestions for places to eat. The house itself is awesome! Very well stocked with anything you will need - they even left us a complementary to bottle of wine. In addition, Jay offered us rides to and from the festival which made our lives so much easier! Definitely recommend this house."
2832008,27371399,2015-03-02,5167870,Albert,"Jay's place is great! The weather didn't allow us to utilize the outdoor space very often, but you can easily tell that it'd be a lot of fun. Inside was also great. The unit is decorated well and has everything you need for a comfortable stay (including a heat fan for when you get out of the shower!)."
2832008,40941560,2015-08-03,34227069,Tiffany,"Jay's Austinite Unit B was the perfect spot to call ""home-base"" while my girls and I explored the city during my bachelorette weekend. Everything from the location (quiet but close enough to everything you might want to do) to the fully-equipped kitchen were perfect. I loved the decorations, and the huge, cozy patio!"
2832008,42031819,2015-08-10,15217981,Dinara,"The place was amazing, clean, comfortable and in convenient location. My husband and our friends had a great time in Austin for our 5 year wedding anniversary. Definitely will be coming back. "
2832008,43167406,2015-08-17,11340399,Laura,"Jay’s place was clean, well decorated and in a great location. 

My boyfriend and I had a long weekend at Jays in August. It was very very easy to get in and out as it’s a lock combination instead of keys and there was parking available for us. Location was perfect for us; a quiet neighborhood close to South Lamar St where there are loads of great bars and restaurants, and really easy to get an uber downtown – it’s also close to the green belt for anyone looking for some hiking.  It’s a perfect size for one or two couples (or 4 friends who don’t mind sharing beds). We really enjoyed the hot tub too!
"
2832008,43391687,2015-08-19,3101962,Mikanh,"Jay was amazing! He sent me a few emails ahead of time to let me know of fun things in the area, as well as pet friendly areas too! Although I'm from Austin and was back in town for a little R&R, I haven't lived in Austin for almost 6 years and it was really helpful to be updated on what's new and what's still around in Austin.

The house was very nice and clean. The driveway can be a little scary (it's on a hill) but there's PLENTY of room at the end to be able to maneuver and park.

Hot tub was perfect! There were instructions on how to use it which was very helpful because I've never used a private tub before.

There were plenty of towels and sheets, along with everything else you could need. He's even gone as far as providing make-up remover wipes and dark hand towels to use so that his white towels stay white. Thanks Jay, the ladies appreciate it.

The neighbors were wonderful as well! 

All in all it was a wonderful stay. I would rent this unit again in a heartbeat!

(P.s. Bonus points for already having a bottle of Sriracha in the fridge!!)"
2832008,52236053,2015-10-27,33262374,Franziska,"Hello Jay, many thanks for welcoming my colleagues in your lovely apartment. It was a pleasure for them to stay there. Everything was really clean and the flat is perfect equipped. The flat leaves nothing to be desired. Thanks for having us there and your hospitality. We would definitely book the apartment again - hopefully next year :-)"
3914369,21935751,2014-10-26,16055735,Amy,"It was very peaceful & quite in the house, I was able to sit in her eclectic adorable living room & read while drinking my coffee. Anna is beautiful on the inside as she is in. 
It was a short stay so all the more reason to come back and take her up on her invitation again. 
Thank you Anna for the pleasant stay. 

P.S the bed was comfy & cozy also, I was able to get a goods night rest.

"
3914369,22271927,2014-11-02,22251182,Yu-Ling,The house and the room is really lovely. love the location the patio n the design or the house. Appreciate the host being so helpful n nice !
3914369,37253672,2015-07-05,33783181,Jessica,"My husband and I spent 4th of July at Colleen's sweet little house in Austin... and it was perfect! Colleen did a great job of making us feel welcomed in her space. We felt at home immediately, and had a great time while in town. I'm not very familiar with the east side of Austin, but there seems to be some hip establishments near by, and you're only a $10 Uber ride from the city center. If the gentrification process makes you uncomfortable, you may shy away from this neighborhood... but if I were you, I wouldn't let it stand in your way. Her home is so peaceful, and she is so sweet! "
3914369,37823374,2015-07-10,37908906,Bonnie,All contact was wonderful. She did what she said she would do and on time. House was easy to find and I felt safe in Colleen's home. This was my first experience renting a room and it went extremely well. Room was clean and tidy. House was adorable.
3914369,52162364,2015-10-26,46808407,Myra,"I had an enjoyable stay at anna's home. It was very relaxing. This was my first time using airbnb, it was a success. The description of anna's home is accurate. So there were no unexpected surprises."
4224800,20876197,2014-10-06,21854135,Nadir,"Jim was very accommodating when I came to Austin. He waited late for me to come by from my drive from Houston. Its unfortunate that I couldn't stay since I become too busy with my work in Austin, but from my meetings with him, I am sure it would have been a good stay. Thanks Jim!
"
4224800,22913297,2014-11-17,22782102,Fran,"Great communal vibe upon arrival (Jim was able to pick me up from train!) with folks sitting around a camp fire talking. Was given Fantastic chai tea in the AM and enjoyed the nature walk. Tiny house is quite comfortable (even for an6'2"" person) and beautiful. Jim's place is a growing work of art! Awesome location right on congress bus route "
4224800,27989305,2015-03-16,23955881,Dillon,"Jim O was a great host, his potluck bbq was a blast (got to meet the locals), and the tiny house and property were even better and nicer than I expected. Will definitely be coming back to stay here next time I'm in Austin."
4224800,28159307,2015-03-19,24746047,Sarah,"I was a little surprised by the tiny house which I stayed in. In the pictures of the property there are only green fields, animals, a stream and a picture of the tiny house. In reality, the house sits on a lot which has several trailers, trucks, sheds, and houses in various stages of repair. I expected a more pastoral setting than what I found.

I must say the goats were adorable and the chickens beautiful and the other people I met there were mostly very welcoming."
4224800,28394553,2015-03-23,12371588,Jeremy,"Jim is a really nice guy and staying at Camp EZ was a pleasure. Really enjoyed the rustic vibe, and the price was excellent, especially during SXSW week."
4224800,29647357,2015-04-10,30707251,Rhonda,"This experience was the perfect experience for my husband who returned home refreshed and happy.  My husband loves it there and hopes to stay with Jim O' whenever he needs to stay in Austin for business.  He says you would never know you are in the middle of the city, and Wednesday night's pot luck is an experience he hopes all guests get to enjoy.  My husband describes Jim O's place as extremely peaceful.  Thank you Jim and staff!"
4224800,31933613,2015-05-12,26760095,Jacqueline,"I loved my stay at Jim O's ""farmette"". I stayed in the Tiny Tiny House which was perfect for my stay while I was at Austin's Psych Fest (a music festival). Jim gave me a tour of the property when I arrived, and made me feel welcome. I loved the goats and chickens, the garden and the fact that they collected rain water and gray water to use to water plants and flush toilets. Really awesome! The property was lush and green in May when I visited. The linens freshly cleaned. The composting toilet was surprisingly odor free - unlike the latrines I've used at most campsites. The outdoor shower was hot and felt adventurous. I am an avid camper so this was like deluxe camping to me - a step above actually since I had air conditioning, a comfortable bed and electricity in the Tiny house. I wouldn't recommend it to 2 people, you'd never be able to sleep 2 in the bed, nevertheless it was perfect for one!. I am 5'4 and I was able to stand up comfortably in the house, but maybe those 6 ft or more may have to stoop. There was also and outdoor shared kitchen & fridge which came in handy for storing food and drinks. I didn't cook other than toast bread, but the fact that I could have was a plus.  The next stay I will rent a car, rather than rely on taxis, Lyft and Uber. Only because I think it may have been less expensive (always watching my budget). There are places within a 10-20 min walking distance for groceries, CVS, liquor store and a Lowes. I took advantage of those. 
Overall I loved the atmosphere and the people living on the farmette were friendly and warm. Was just what I was looking for in my stay in Austin! I'll definitely be back when I stay in Austin again! "
4224800,32653009,2015-05-19,28496587,Ty,"It was great! Jim & the others were very nice, helpful, with much hospitality. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a peaceful getaway from Austin while still in Austin :) "
4224800,33474904,2015-05-28,33679577,John,"Jim O was an extremely gracious host and Camp EZ was a perfect place to stay for a week. Slightly different than a hotel, but that's what made it so good. "
4224800,37517407,2015-07-07,613208,Gina,"This is a wonderful, unique experience that is an escape from the hustle & bustle of Austin, all while being so close to everything. Jim & the residents there were so very accommodating & helpful. I highly recommend staying here"
4224800,38460103,2015-07-15,36229583,Hrytoedhobbitboy,"Jim's tiny house was a basic but lovely place to lay my head while I was in Austin. It was tiny but had all I needed -- a bed, a table with a lamp, a chair, a power strip for charging my devices, a hook for my bag. The composting toilet was odor free and easy to use. Jim was friendly and welcoming, and the other guests at Camp EZ were quiet and seemed nice.  I felt very safe getting up in the middle of the night to sit on the porch and enjoy the quiet. Thank you, Jim. I expect to be back."
4224800,42170879,2015-08-11,38556804,Steve,"The listing description was accurate, and Jim was very helpful on local places to eat and things to do in the area"
4224800,45863875,2015-09-06,33287893,Ole Aleksander,"Great place,  really Nice to live so close to everything and still have such a relaxed environment.  The tiny cabin is perfect if you are Just sleeping there and there is an outdoor kitchen, Lots of fun people and goats.  I would stay here again if i came back to Austin."
4224800,47125456,2015-09-15,34869964,Mary Beth,"A very enjoyable experience.  Much to my surprise I found the outdoor (but private, of course) shower totally delightful.  Lots to see too.  A very homey, artsy setting.    "
4224800,48239896,2015-09-24,34869964,Mary Beth,"Charming, as usual.  "
4224800,49376662,2015-10-03,1299508,Joel,Reserved a place at Jim's for my buddy who was in town for Fantastic Fest. He loved it! Described it as an authentic Austin experience. 
2041310,10575555,2014-02-25,3687657,Graham,"Dan's house was in great condition and just what we were looking for. He was flexible with handing off the keys, showing us around the property, and making us feel welcome. If you are looking for a place that has easy access to downtown but is reasonably removed from the hubbub this is it!"
2041310,10903159,2014-03-12,10939804,Peter,Dan was an excellent host accommodating all of our needs and sharing his knowledge of Austin. The house was gorgeous and very nicely finished with a very spacious shower. 
2041310,11149531,2014-03-23,7849473,Lesa,"Loved our stay at Capital Court! The house was impeccably clean and stylishly decorated. The landscaping was very nicely done and although we did not dine al fresco on this trip, the outdoor table and chairs were nicely arranged.  The bed was super comfy. Dan, the gracious host, supplied heavenly organic products throughout the house for us to enjoy and we especially loved the shampoo and conditioner. He even brought over some freshly ground coffee beans and gave us lots of great ideas about places to visit in Austin. The house is conveniently located near the Triangle, which has all kinds of shops and restaurants and is close to downtown. Quiet neighborhood, great place to stay"
2041310,11315280,2014-03-29,8146537,Alexandra,"What is there not to love about the Capitol Court Midtown Lodge? NOTHING!!! Dan and Britt’s bungalow is a charming hidden gem nestled in the corner of a cute little cul-de-sac in Austin. Offering the best of both worlds, this bungalow gives you city living with a suburban feel. It was quiet, super clean and very comfortable. One of the best features of the house (besides the walk-in shower) is the master bedroom. Surrounded by large beautiful windows, the bed/bedroom gives you a great energizing/refreshing feel every time you wake up.  If you decide to take advantage of the kitchen make sure to check out Central Market for all of your cooking needs (they have an awesome spice department where you can measure out only what you want). I would also suggest having a car if staying here. Although there are some shops within walking distance, having a car definitely made it easier for us to get around. I could go on and on about how much I LOVE this place but I’m already worried that too many people will read my review and try to hog it up making it difficult for me to book it when I return to Austin :-) Just know that this place does not disappoint! "
2041310,11352963,2014-03-31,12157151,Jasmine,"We had a great experience at Capitol Court! The house is charming, comfortable, clean and stylish.  The neighborhood is quiet, and very close to downtown, the highway and everywhere we needed to be! Dan was a wonderful host, and made our stay very enjoyable. We were able to cook dinner at the house one night and enjoy it on the fabulous patio. It was a great weekend in Austin, and we will definitely be staying here next time we are in town! "
2041310,11745704,2014-04-14,5166040,Amanda,"The house was so clean and beautifully decorated-- even the pics don't do it justice! It was a great space and the homeowner, Dan, is super accommodating. Austin hospitality at its best! I would definitely recommend staying here."
2041310,11943180,2014-04-19,2437198,Kathryn,"My fiancé and I were in Austin (where we have lived for 8 years) for a quick business trip and the Capital Court lodge was perfect. It looks exactly like the pictures and it has a nice outdoor space. The drive from downtown/ south Austin is a big far, especially if you have to make the trek from 4-7pm but thats nothing to do with their accommodations. "
2041310,12038530,2014-04-21,6410907,Carlos,Dan was an excellent host! The place is great i would definitely stay here again!
2041310,12358372,2014-04-29,12784977,Kate,Dan was extremely helpful when my partner first arrived as my flight was delayed - played tour guide late at night and gave some awesome recommendations for food/drink and site seeing! The place was clean and nicely set up and a nice getaway home for a few days! 
2041310,12624469,2014-05-06,8975742,Magdalena,This was great. Thank you so much 
2041310,13435131,2014-05-27,15148384,Lara,"Fantastic first experience with AirBnB. Dan has set a high bar for other hosts. He was extraordinarily communicative from our first interaction throughout the duration of our visit. I was also pleasantly surprised to find the bathroom outfitted with a blow dryer in addition to shampoo, conditioner, body wash, men's shaving cream and face lotion. Good stuff too; I'm not talking Suave. The pictures are accurate but really don't do the place justice. Britt did an amazing job creating a clean feel while still paying homage to Austin's quirky personality. Even my husband, who through work has stayed in a number of luxury hotels, was impressed with the furnishings and remarked how nice it was to come back to a ""home"" at the end of the day. Capitol Court's central location made it easy for us to move from one activity to the next in Austin and the surrounding area. Can't wait to return."
2041310,14491040,2014-06-20,6179276,Joshua,"This was a lovely little cottage not too far from downtown. The house was nicely decorated and had plenty of space for my family of four, and the beds were really comfortable.

Dan was really helpful and communicative, and even personally brought by some cleaning supplies when we ran out."
2041310,15730899,2014-07-14,11144437,Natalie,"Dan was incredibly kind and helpful when we were trying to book accommodation and I'm glad he was because we loved our stay. The place was wonderful, clean, comfortable and we'll definitely be back when next in town."
2041310,16670931,2014-07-31,9860693,Karen,"This is the third time I've used airbnb to find a place to stay while on vacation, and I cannot say enough about my experiences-- they have all been wonderful.

As for the Capitol Court Midtown Lodge, Dan was a great help at the beginning of the process as my friends and I had a late adjustment to the dates we would be needing a place to stay, and he was extremely accommodating and flexible with that. I also had no problem reaching him if we had any questions or needed additional info after booking, and check-in was seamless, which is always nice after a day of traveling.  :)

Being in central Austin, the house itself was in the perfect location for us-- only about 3 minutes by car to my daughter's apartment, and no matter where we were going in the city, it seemed only a short drive.  It is also within walking distance of a 7-Eleven, Walgreens, and any of the shops and restaurants at the Triangle. There is also plenty of off-street parking-- space for at least two vehicles, and the lot itself is entirely fenced in with a gate that can be closed across the driveway if you wish. We felt completely safe in the neighborhood and didn't have any excessive noise or disturbances while we were there.

As for the house itself, it is just as shown in the pictures. Clean, comfy and a great place to hang out in the mornings while planning our adventures, or relaxing in the evenings when we were done with our day. The internet service was top-notch, no problems there, and ditto for the cable tv. Dan & Britt also provided a binder with information about the area and menus from some of the local eating establishments.

The kitchen had the basics for cooking and the appliances (gas range, microwave, frig and dishwasher) were clean and operated without a hitch. Perfect setup for making simple meals or having a cup of coffee with a toasted bagel in the morning.  (coffeemaker and toaster also provided)

The walk-in shower in the bathroom was really nice, with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided along with a blow dryer, and the towels were soft and fluffy. The two bedrooms each had a queen-size bed, with a stackable washer/dryer in the master, handy if you are planning a longer stay. There was also extra bedding in the closet, if needed.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dan and Britt's house, it made our visit to Austin so much nicer just by having a ""home"" to come back to at the end of the day. I did have the chance to meet Dan toward the end of our stay and my impression of him from our interaction on the airbnb site held up in person-- really nice, genuine guy. The airbnb community gets another ""win"" from me.  We would definitely stay at this location again on a return visit to see our daughter."
2041310,17459446,2014-08-12,18154112,Tenecia,This was just perfect for my family guests that came to town for a weekend.  Dan was very communicative and flexible - everything went flawlessly.  My family loved the place and I would definitely suggest it to others.
2041310,17914562,2014-08-18,19949508,Kelley,"This was our first experience using airbnb, and it was awesome.  We will definitely be using it again!  Dan was an excellent host. While we didn't get to meet him in person, he was very prompt with texting and was clearly very interested in making sure we had a nice stay.  The house was exactly as pictured- it was fantastic.  The did an amazing job decorating (and I assume re-doing the whole place, inside and out).  It was also great for a family.. we had one kid with us and, besides the fact that having 2 bedrooms is great for that, it was also kid-friendly.  As cute as it was, not a lot of glass and stuff that could easily be broken.
Thanks to Dan and Britt for a great stay- we will absolutely book at one of their houses again!"
2041310,18497814,2014-08-27,12628572,Lucas,"Dad was a great host, his place was clean, comfortable and had a great shower. I would highly recommend it."
2041310,19208370,2014-09-08,16358039,Kendra,"Dan was a great host, was available for any questions I had in regards to the house or area restaurants/entertainment. I was even left fresh ground coffee from one of the neighborhood coffee shops. The house was very cozy and easily accessible. Overall it was a great experience and I only wish I could have stayed longer! "
2041310,21119769,2014-10-12,28957,Anky,"Dan was an extremely helpful host!  He gave us lots of helpful advice and great recommendations.
Capitol Court is a great home.  Great location - very quiet street and well located to reach all kep spots in Austin.

2041310,22533016,2014-11-09,6096273,Paul & Jessica,"We absolutely loved this property. Had everything we needed and more. Great hosts, great communication! "
2041310,23323929,2014-11-29,15729962,Rosalie,"Dan and I weren't able to meet, but the key transfer was smooth and he responded to emails promptly. The house was in a great location for us and was spotless, well-appointed and as-shown in the photos. I only wish we had been able to stay, relax and hang-out, but daughter's nearby wedding took up too much of our time."
2041310,23953075,2014-12-15,2031200,Katy,"The house was great! It was clean, roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed being able to walk to coffee shops and restaurants on North Loop and zip over to the Shoal Creek trail for a morning run. Check-in couldn't have been smoother, and Dan followed up the afternoon we arrived to make sure we were settled.  We'd stay at Capitol Court again and would recommend it to our friends!"
2041310,24357228,2014-12-27,189618,Angela,"Dedicated rental space - stylishly furnished and warm. Easy check-in via lockbox. Appreciated the coffee maker, cable TV, and washer dryer. It's not a space for bigger groups or people who like to have every meal in as there are very limited cooking utensils and only 2 chairs for the dinning table. Great for a couple or small family who do some light breakfast. 10 minute drive to State Capitol. "
2041310,24861754,2015-01-03,2911641,Christina,"Place was simply decorated, comfortable and perfect for our needs. We had a car and were about 10 min from most everything we needed to get to.  "
2041310,27413999,2015-03-03,5254722,Katie,"Fellow Travelers,

 Dans house is perfection. His house has the taste and style of Hotel San Jose or an Ace Hotel but with privacy. 

Dan was very accomidating. Though we did not get a chance to meet he was very communicative and extended his hospitality. 

I will stay at Capitol Court every chance I get. Thank you Austin. 

Best,
Katie"
2041310,27576733,2015-03-08,25811965,Lisa,"Our 3 night stay at this house was great.  Dan is a great host and very responsive via email & text.  The house is exactly as it appears in the photos and very comfortable.  The location is accessible to many good restaurants, cafes & bars in the area.  Check in was very easy with access to the lockbox.  Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Austin.  "
2041310,28298000,2015-03-22,2994797,Jerry,Dan was a great host. He met us at check in and made sure we had everything we needed. He was also very responsive. The house was perfect for our long stay and had all the amenities to make it feel like home. The neighborhood is central and close to lots of great places to eat. I highly recommend Capitol Court.
2041310,28797621,2015-03-30,115059,Warren,"We very much enjoyed our stay at the Capitol Court Midtown Lodge.  The living room and kitchen were spacious and well equipped and the beds were quite comfortable.  Dan was a good host and provided us with useful information about the neighborhood.  We would definitely
stay again.

2041310,29172259,2015-04-05,27313395,Anne,"The house was beautiful and perfect for me and my four bridesmaids. The owners were easy to communicate with, and stocked the house with staples: beer, milk and almond milk, coffee. It was very clean and comfortable. I will say, we were bummed to realize it didn't have a DVD player after we rented a movie for a night in (not a big deal though, we should have checked if it had one earlier). The space was actually larger than I had anticipated, and the location had good proximity to local restaurants. 

While this did sleep 5 guests, one had to sleep on the sofa. I was thinking it would be a sofa bed, but it was just a standard sofa. I live in Austin (rented the space to accomodate my 4 out of town bridesmaids), so I ran home and grabbed an air bed and sheets for the 5th guest. 

Towels also ended up being 1 short, so that was another thing I brought from home. 

All in all it was a great stay! I would definitely rent this place again. "
2041310,29521556,2015-04-08,5788046,Joselyn,"The house was a little urban bungalow that was chic and smartly decorated. Beds were comfy, the place was clean and the hosts were welcoming and responsive. I would definitely recommend a stay here."
2041310,30306292,2015-04-20,5904908,Brooke,"The Capitol Court lodge is a great landing place for a couple, business travelers and/or a small family looking for a nice, clean home in a relatively central location.  A friend and I spent a weekend at the Capitol Court and it perfectly suited our needs - it was extremely tidy and clean, with nice touches like Mrs. Meyers/Method products, clear/framed web access passwords and Moroccan shampoo/conditioner/body wash.   Dan is very responsive and easy to work with in terms of any questions one may have.  Austin is a fabulous city with some of the best food - particularly @ Odd Duck and Elizabeth Street Cafe - I've eaten in a long time.  Enjoy! "
2041310,30605687,2015-04-25,22344976,Victoriya,We haven't met the owners in person but communication was easy and prompt and we could call anytime if there would be a need. The house is as pictured. It was clean and perfect for our needs. The neighborhood was safe and the street was quiet. We did have a car so getting around was pretty easy. We'd stay again.
2041310,31111071,2015-05-02,15794602,Melissa,"Perfect place to book for my mom's visit, with an extra room so I could stay with her some nights too. We enjoyed our stay, minimal but with a homey feel. Very clean with all the amenities we found ourselves needing provided. Will definitely book again for her next visit. "
2041310,31409857,2015-05-04,3543420,Antonio,Everything was OK.
2041310,32047158,2015-05-13,13204809,Kristin,"I rented this place for my parents when they came in town to visit me and it was perfect. The location can't be beat and the house was spotless. It had all the homey essentials - great toiletries, coffee/beverages, etc. - and my parents enjoyed their stay. We did have a little trouble getting in the first night due to an issue with the key lock box but Dan arranged for us to get another set of keys and got us all sorted out. He came by later in the week to make sure all was going smoothly and was very responsive to texts/calls. I wouldn't hesitate to rent this place again! "
2041310,33216319,2015-05-26,21013214,Dennis,"We were welcomed into an immaculate home stocked with the basic necessities, attractive rooms, and nice surroundings. The description of the property was accurate.
We were very busy during this UT graduation weekend, dashed through the storm, and were happy to return to the house in the evening.  Dan was quick to reply to any questions so we felt taken care of. He e-mailed during the storm to make sure everything was o.k. We definitely recommend Dan and Capitol Court while in Austin."
2041310,34661577,2015-06-10,101796,Ashley,"Dan was responsive and welcoming. The place was really clean and charming. Comfortable bed, spacious, even a bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. The street that the house is located on feels slightly shady and there were three locks on the door, but we never felt unsafe. The house is one of the nicest on the block. There was half a roll of toilet paper and half a roll of paper towels and no backup so we ran out of both, but that's the only thing we werent a hundred percent happy with and dan was really apologetic about it. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat. GREAT spot. "
2041310,35147668,2015-06-15,26703509,Jennifer,"Everything was just as it was advertised.  The house is super apt. Is super cute. Dan had everything ready. Neighborhood was cute and easy access to restaurants and shops.  
Samuel, the neighbor was awesome. 
"
2041310,37138720,2015-07-05,4244409,Kyle,Communicating with Dan was super easy. The house is decorated stylishly and was very comfortable for four people (two couples). The location was perfect for us because we have friends living a short walk down the street. The house is just around the corner from Pinthouse brewery and pizzeria which we really enjoyed because of the great beer selection. My wife was able to get a $20 week pass at the yoga studio down the road. We will hopefully stay here again on our next visit to Austin.
2041310,39426999,2015-07-23,19738081,Becky,"Our host, Dan, was super friendly and quick to respond to our questions.  He and his wife had stocked beer, soda, and filtered water in the fridge, and left fresh coffee grounds at our disposal for when we needed a java fix.  They also provided a binder with suggestions for shopping, eating, taking out menus, and some fun attractions to check out.  It also had the Metro schedules for bus and rail.  All of the linens, towels, and kitchen items were displayed as though we were staying in a swanky spa hotel.  The shampoo, conditioner, and soap was all natural, as was the shaving cream and face lotion provided.  The minimalist approach to their design was very appealing.

The house was exactly as described in the listing...we loved the design of the interior.  Both bedrooms were inviting and clean and had a cute basket/tray with fresh towels and washcloths for the guests.  The wood floors looked like they were original to the house, and it lent a very cozy feeling to the overall vibe.  We are a no-frills family, so this place was perfect for us.  Very stylish, but not overdone or haughty.  The exterior is quaint...the landscaping is zero-scaped, and the patio has fun string lights over a table and chairs.  There are many windows that have coverings for privacy, but can be opened to allow a lot of natural light in.

The neighborhood is interesting.  It's right at the junction of two major thoroughfares, which was helpful in getting around to the many sites in Austin.  The entrance to the street is not residential, so you really have to know that you are going there to see this place.  It's tucked away in a cul-de-sac, and it's really quiet, especially considering the close proximity to the major road it's off of.  The neighborhood is trendy, with cool shops like the Austin Comics and Books store and an amazing games store.  The Triangle (a new residential, retail, and dining area) is two blocks away, and has lots to offer.  The drive down either Lamar or Guadalupe offers MANY options for great restaurants and funky shops.  It's also an easy way to make it to downtown, 6th street, and the UT campus."
2041310,39808686,2015-07-26,36744654,Kimmy,"This place is so adorable! The host is very good at replying back to messages which is really helpful. The house is easy to get to, very secure and super clean! I had a great experience at this house and would love to come back! "
2041310,40986950,2015-08-03,3773272,Jason,"I had a great time staying at Dan's centrally located home. The place was clean and Dan was always replying to any questions I had within the hour.  Dan also supplied us with great suggestions for nearby restaurants and nightlife, the Workhorse had really good burgers!
We loved the design and decor of the home as well, very nice furnishings!  I would definitely stay with one of Dan's properties again."
2041310,41415627,2015-08-07,30607073,Christine,"I love this house!!! It was very well decorated!! The beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. Including a washer and dryer. 
Dan was a great host and available by phone when we needed anything 
We would stay here again!!"
2041310,41796288,2015-08-09,37619560,Zach,"My wife and I loved staying here! Dan was very helpful throughout our entire stay. He recommended several local places to eat, and checked up periodically (and unobtrusively) to make sure everything was okay. The place was comfortable, clean, and modern, and in a great neighborhood."
2041310,44100526,2015-08-24,14363048,Elena,"Dan was very responsive and flexible - he agreed to let us check in early and even brought over a grill for us to use!  The house is great, clean, and well located within walking distance of the Triangle.  The shower is a bit touchy (hot or cold but rarely warm) but it was otherwise a great home base in Austin for our wedding trip!"
2041310,44927407,2015-08-30,13827674,Suze,"Perfect accommodation. My travelling companions and I busted out terms like 'very well-appointed' and 'excellent amenities' in commenting on the little touches that made Dan's place so good. We were roadtripping so loved the offstreet parking and great washing facilities. Spacious, comfy, functional, well-equipped and with speedy wifi. Dan was highly responsive, provided helpful info and made himself available without imposing. Austin is big and this place a few miles away from the bright (foodtruck van) lights of SoCo and Rainey Street but perfect if you have a car or don't mind a little bus trip. Highly recommend. "
2041310,47262590,2015-09-17,7946635,Meta,"We stayed here with my in-laws and found the place comfortable and well designed... comfy beds and stylish decor. We had a bit of bad luck with a maintenance issue, but Dan was very responsive and got right on it. You can tell they take this property very seriously and as a business.  In all, he was responsive and the place was clean and organized."
2041310,48081655,2015-09-23,7997200,Keith,We really enjoyed this home for five nights.  It was close to restaurants and an easy  ubar/taxi ride to events.  It was clean and roomy and had everything we needed for a longer stay.  the washing machine was fabulous.  thankyou for allowing our daughter to stay longer (past the checkout time) She had to catch a later plane.
2041310,50346847,2015-10-11,44701494,Kristin,"Dan, The Capitol Court Midtown lodge was wonderful. Ubers were able to pick us up very easily from the house and it was not from the park at all. We loved being able to walk down the street to go eat at the cute area close by. "
2041310,51573988,2015-10-21,2454041,Marilyn,"This was an excellent experience all around. Dan met us when we arrived and could not have been more hospitable. The home was just as it appeared: welcoming, tastefully decorated, impeccably clean, comfortable, private and generally just about perfect. I would heartily recommend it to anyone planning a stay in Austin."
1166854,5420279,2013-06-29,6618204,Ross,"We were the first travelers to stay in Ryan's East Side Chateau and just as his other properties this one did not disappoint!!!

This house comfortably held my group of business travelers and gave us great access to both downtown and east Austin. As mentioned in the description, the East Side Chateau has an observatory on the roof which gives travelers an amazing 360 degree view of Austin. 

I definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay close to downtown Austin with a large group and/or families. "
1166854,6132384,2013-07-31,6633423,Jake,Ryan was a great host and his place is absolutely amazing!  We had a great time and with the location it was easy to see all Austin had to offer.  Highly recommended!!!!

1166854,13403596,2014-05-27,12195277,Eric,"The East Side Chateau and Observatory met our needs and expectations for a 3 day bachelor party weekend in Austin, with 8 people in the house.  The neighborhood is pleasant and mellow, just up 11th street from Hillside Farmacy, and a very short walk to 6th Street bars and restaurants.  
Host Ryan was very responsive to all my emails before we arrived, and questions when I was there.  Only improvement would be to have clearer instructions about how TV works (had trouble finding channels on downstairs tv, and getting wireless access, as Ryan was a character off on PW, which we eventually figured out).  TV and internet were not the point of our trip -- we had a very comfortable resting place and launching pad for all the fun we wanted in Austin.  Worked out very well."
1166854,21605600,2014-10-20,21644899,Kia,"The east side chateau was home to an incredible weekend and suited the needs of our large group of 12. The house was clean, very well stocked, and ready to go on arrival.

Ryan was very helpful and quick to accommodate requests. We would definitely stay with Ryan again as he made the whole process very pleasant and simple."
1166854,25805706,2015-01-26,19642909,Denney,"What a great place! Roomy enough for our group of 9 on a bachelor party weekend, though two beds had to be shared, with a spacious kitchen and dining room. The location was within walking distance from many great restaurants and bars while also feeling secluded and quiet enough for our group to enjoy the house for its own charm. Only a $10-15 Uber from the Airport while also being under $10 from the bars on Rainey and 6th Streets. Our hosts were very hands off once we arrived in Austin which was great, but assuredly would be as involved as needed. Would definitely recommend this place for any group of 5+ if they're visiting Austin. "
1166854,28546870,2015-03-25,7865016,Nicole,"Probably one of the best houses you can find for SXSW.
Amazing location, with views over most of Austin and a park just in front of the house.
The house was amazing with all needed amenities, and the observatory was definitely the best part, enjoying the sunshine with a glass of wine.
"
1166854,28775800,2015-03-30,24408926,Steven,"The East Side Chateau was great for our group of 6! The host was very accomodating, and the house was perfectly represented in the listing. Our group loved the neighborhood, as it was within walking distance to some outstanding restaurants and bars. The deck and rooftop offered amazing views of downtown Austin. "
1166854,29256498,2015-04-06,8122475,Michelle,"This house in Austin was perfect for our weekend. In the best neighborhood because you can actually walk to many of the cool spots. Communication with Ryan was easy as well as the check-in/check-out.

For future guests, I will describe the house in detail as this was not very clear to me when I rented it.
The house has 3 floors. The ground floor has a large kitchen, living room with sofa bed and a toilet. The second floor has two rooms: one for 2 people and another one for 4 with a double bed and two bunk beds. The third floor has a room with two double beds.

I would say this house is comfortable for 8 people specially because of there are only 2 full bathrooms. One of bathrooms inside double room which makes it harder to access for the rest of the people. I guess this is a normal house layout but with big groups it gets complicated.

Anyway, in general this is a great property and I can recommended for your next trip to Austin."
1166854,30756570,2015-04-27,2514834,Tracy,"This house was perfect for our group of 13--4 in the double beds in the attic room, 2 in the queen bed in the master, 4 in the double bed and bunk beds in the second bedroom, 2 on the pull-out sofa bed and 1 on the twin-sized air mattress. Everyone loved the cute decor and appreciated the stacks of plastic cups left for us!  It was also great to have a full sized fridge and freezer and a fully stocked kitchen, so we were able to make breakfast at home during the weekend.  There were also plenty of towels for the group.  

Ryan's associate Thomas was also very responsive over text.  It was also easy to gain access to the house, as it's an automated lock with a code, so no need to coordinate to meet-up with Ryan or Thomas.  They were very friendly and accommodated our requests for early check-in and late check-out.

There are a few eateries within walking distance, but we mostly Uber-ed around the city."
1166854,32179396,2015-05-15,1832711,Kelly,Great location and enjoyed our stay!
1166854,33219911,2015-05-26,11184339,Leslie,"Good property for the price and the hosts were wonderful. There are a lot of beds and the location is great, but zero amenities and the cleaning crew did not do a very good job. The rooftop patio had old used cigars and open stale beers on it. The sheets also had hairs in them. The backyard was not manicured at all - it was practically a jungle so we could not sit out there and enjoy the space. There is limited patio seating as well. That being said, the house is in a good location, has a lot of space and the customer service from the owners and managers was very good. I think the house is a good place to stay, it's just is not 5 stars in my opinion."
1166854,38093039,2015-07-13,12549865,Holly,"The house was perfect for our group.  We did a little bit of extra cleaning when we arrived and they had people mowing the lawn which was nice to have done since it was overgrown.  We had one little issue with warm water but they had someone come fix it immediately, which was nice.  All in all, the house is great for a large group and the hosts/prop manager was very responsive.  We would stay again."
1166854,41974028,2015-08-10,36935680,Christine,"I chose this house for a bachelorette party and it worked out perfectly. Great location, with fun restaurants and stores very close by, and a short uber to downtown. The place was very cute and my friends and I enjoyed our time here! "
1166854,43083809,2015-08-17,17431371,Venkat,"Great house in an amazing neighborhood!

Ryan was really helpful throughout the whole process. We had a group of 10 staying here this past weekend and had a great experience. "
1166854,49608559,2015-10-05,5707061,David,Great place! Great area!
1166854,52088635,2015-10-26,22256625,Jesse,Ryan was a great host. He sent a thorough email with instructions on how to access the home and it was in great condition when we arrived. The neighborhood was amazing - just steps away from a great coffee house and a couple restaurants and a few blocks away from the East 6th Avenue with more bars and nightlife. 
2514883,11041893,2014-03-17,13083531,Thanh,"Xin is a lovely host! She was very accommodating, even with our late arrival.  This was my first time experiencing Airbnb and she made it very comfortable.  The house was absolutely gorgeous, clean and convenient to downtown Austin.  This was everything we expected and I will definitely look forward to staying here in my future return. 
Thanks Xin!"
2514883,11732398,2014-04-13,14154756,Zach,Xin was a very kind a gracious host! The room was just as nice as it looked in the picture. Had to go to a wedding in Austin and staying here was a lot better than having to pay for a hotel. Thanks Xin!
2514883,12566581,2014-05-05,14254420,Ricardo,The area is beautiful. You couldn't ask for a more scenic place along the cliff of the Hill Country. There's plenty of sun and serenity within a short walking distance. Xin is a really helpful and pleasant host. I had plenty of privacy in the room and awesome Wi-Fi service.
2514883,13024623,2014-05-17,5546659,Suchita & Ashish,"To start with...wonderful friendly host! My application was accepted on a super short notice and their house is in a great quiet location in Westlake hills. The room & bath was also clean, neat and spacious. And the best, it totally felt like home and enjoyed our discussions. "
2514883,13805650,2014-06-04,1332575,Katharina,"Xin and her family live in a huge house in the hills which get a little cooler at night than downtown Austin. You can use the kitchen, dining and living room which makes this place a very good choice. Since Xin and her mother were home with the two little girls most of the time, we enjoyed getting to know them. "
2514883,13975252,2014-06-09,15572869,Brittany,Xin was great! Allows you to feel at home in her mansion type house. It has amazing views and in great location to anything you may want to do in Austin. 
2514883,21280910,2014-10-14,19004563,Karina,Xin was AWESOME! We had a wonderful time in her beautiful home. She made us feel right at home and was very respectful of our time and privacy. This was our first time using Airbnb and it was magnificent. Thank you so much Xin!
2514883,23139001,2014-11-23,23903350,Lavinia,"Xin and here family were very nice. The room was very comfortable,  clean and private.  The highlight was the beautiful setting in the Austin hills with many shops nearby."
2514883,34251239,2015-06-06,31354362,Robin,Xin was a great host and went out of her way to be accommodating.   The room/house was nice and clean and they also have a wonderful cat that I just couldn't  get enough of.  Will definitely stay there again!!
2514883,37234503,2015-07-05,20657630,Jason,"Xin was very kind and helpful, with a lovely cat!"
2514883,42268509,2015-08-12,16969079,Carol,Our stay with Xin and her family was perfect!  They were friendly and very accommodating.  The bed was comfortable.  We look forward to staying with them again.  
2514883,43295189,2015-08-18,27967850,Kichul,"Xin is an amazing host, and the pictures don't do justice to how great the house is.  It is situated in a very cozy neighborhood with easy access to highways.  I would come back to stay at Xin's place any time!"
2514883,52455727,2015-10-29,17611152,Allison,"Great room, conveniently located near the Omni convention Resort. Thanks Xin!"
959496,10842972,2014-03-10,1696232,Amy,Amy's place was perfect for SXSW. It is in a good location- very close to South Congress street and to lots of great places on South Lamar. There are two nice beds and a very comfortable couch. The apartment is clean and has a very nice kitchen/dining area. Amy was very accommodating and helpful. I would recommend this place especially for a group coming for SXSW or another festival. 
959496,14036362,2014-06-10,7309011,Bobby,"Amy was a wonderful host and the 4 of us had a wonderful experience staying in Austin only minutes from all the action. 
Highly recommended...

Amy was sweet, wish I saw her beyond the initial greeting....
"
959496,28122600,2015-03-18,8514073,Andrew,Amy Rose was an amazing host and we really enjoyed our stay at her place during SXSW 2015. The hot tub in the back yard was perfect and comes with a view of Downtown Austin. I would highly recommend her place to anyone visiting the Austin area who's looking for a convenient location in a quiet neighborhood. Thanks again for the hospitality. 
959496,28356496,2015-03-22,29135117,Joe,"Beautiful house with an Austenite touch - Great host - had everything ready as mentioned in the description and made us feel at home :)
strongly recommend. "

She was always super responsive as well. The neighborhood is great, and public transportation and food trucks were very accessible. Highly recommended."
2551608,50438967,2015-10-12,23002081,Gemma,"Shannon has a lovely home and is the perfect host. It was really my home away from home during a hectic weekend! I appreciated all of Shannon's generous touches like coffee, tea, fruit and granola. 

The location is fantastic, walkable to downtown and lots of local restaurants/food trucks. The bus that leaves outside the house and the bike station at the end of the street makes the location extra handy. 

Thanks for the wonderful introduction to Austin, Shannon :)"
2551608,51655270,2015-10-22,37215465,Lois,"Shannon was extremely helpful, and generous with her time (answering tons on questions since I'm thinking about moving to Austin, passing on info and contacts) and welcoming, encouraging me to make the most of common areas including big back yard, screened in porch. Such a kind and thoughtful host!"
8715787,50572513,2015-10-12,21486405,Carolina,"Nikida was a great host, and her apt was in a great location! She had clean towels for us, and also she gave us privacy. I would recommend staying with Nikida! "
4164366,28506357,2015-03-24,22098417,John,"I had an excellent experience staying with Troy. It was exactly what you hope an Airbnb stay would be.
I booked last minute and he was very accommodating. The house is really cool mid century pad and the en suite room was as good as any hotel (the bed was brand new). The place is spotless. It was quiet and relaxing. 
Toy was very welcoming and made me feel at home, and offered me a ride into town when he was going which was great. The house is in a nice part of South austin and I got into town on Lyft which was about $10, there may be a bus but I didn't check it out.
I would highly recommend staying with Troy if you are lucky enough to have the chance. "
4164366,30048635,2015-04-16,8063867,Michael,Really great place in a good location in South Austin. And a truly friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended.
4164366,33781115,2015-06-01,9919696,Ben,"Great host, really nice of him to pick me up at the airport! Enjoyed the place, very clean, and Troy was nice and helpful."
4164366,40468076,2015-07-31,2919693,Michael,"I think Troy is probably one of the hardest working guys I know in Austin. Always on the go, building his business and upgrading his place. He's also a hospitable host who seems genuinely interested in his guests. I was there for a whopping 2 month stay, and during that time we also had some time to hang out and share experiences. We also saw the passing of his cat Cisco, which was a bummer since he was such a nice cat to be around up until the end. The room itself is a bit small, but it is clean and relatively quiet, and I slept fairly well while there."
4164366,40879514,2015-08-02,32215923,Breanne,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4164366,49133936,2015-10-01,40316133,Ben,"Troy is an incredible host with a great heart! Great energy all around. Location could not be better!  My two month stay with Troy was exactly what I needed before finding a more permanent living situation. More importantly, I left knowing, in Troy,  I had made a great friend!"
4164366,49775845,2015-10-06,1331353,Matthew,Troy was extremely nice and welcoming. He is involved in the entertainment industry and was plugged in to cool places to see great music. Check out his (email hidden)
4164366,50699503,2015-10-13,24632813,Marcus,"Great neighborhood, and the proximity to Zilker Park (ACL) was amazing! Troy gave us as much space as we wanted but was always available if needed. The britta pitchers were always full and he kept us flush with clean water glasses! Six stars!"
4164366,51221570,2015-10-18,461940,Matt,"Troy's place came just as advertised. The bedroom is indeed small - as another reviewer noted - but windows enable fantastic natural lighting and outdoor views. Further, the bedroom doors open up until a much larger living space, giving it a much larger feel. And Troy's bedroom is on the other side of the house, enabling a solid, private experience.  The bedroom also has its own private bathroom with shower. The bed is quite large, and Troy adeptly provides ample shelving, drawer, and hanger space. Further, there's a empty power strip in the nightstand next to the bed; this is so essential for a convenient stay (for me), as it enables me to conveniently power all my mobile devices. It's a simple but astute touch that many hotels even overlook.

The neighborhood is top-notch for Austin. Quiet, tree-covered, beautiful, and of course proximity to loads of cool stuff.

Troy is a welcoming, mature, and cordial host with the kind of personality that I suspect would get along with anyone. He's socially skilled to understand when and how to best engage (or not) in conversation. He also seems to be an astute businessperson that I look forward to hopefully hanging with later, since I'm planning to move to Austin."
4164366,51817225,2015-10-24,46481584,Eric,"Troy was a fantastic host and it was a real pleasure staying with him!  His house is beautiful and in a great neighborhood.  He gave us some great recommendations for around town, we couldn't have asked for a better experience, and are looking forward to the next time we can get down to Austin!  Thanks Troy!"
4164366,52989010,2015-11-03,3521310,Adam,"Troy provided a very clean and welcoming space. While the bedroom area is a little tight (due to king size bed which is very comfy), the room has everything you will need including a private bathroom and access to w/d machine. Troy made a large amount of space in the kitchen and fridge which was very much appreciated. The common area is also very large and spacious. The home is very quiet and peaceful, and located in a very convenient area just south of downtown near a lot of walking trails, shopping, nightlife, etc. "
4217792,20878352,2014-10-06,461011,Mike,"What a great experience! JD was very quick to respond to all my questions and just the nicest guy. The place was spotless and I seriously wanted to take his couch home with me...so comfortable!!! Location was beyond perfect since I was attending Austin City Limits and it was a 3 minute walk to the gates. Great amenities, perfect location and an incredible host. JD is the real deal and can't wait to stay there again!"
4217792,21172219,2014-10-12,22068857,Lara,JD was great at communicating before and during our stay. The apartment was clean and well stocked with linens and even snacks! A great experience!
4217792,22630865,2014-11-10,22826863,Mary,We loved staying here! Really great location.. 15 min walk to FFF. Clean and nicely furnished! He had snacks waiting for us and was very flexible with our arrival and departure times! I would most definitely stay here again and this guy is awesome!
4217792,28405266,2015-03-23,8784009,Julia,"JD was awesome! Easy to get ahold of and very pleasant to speak with. He left treats for us when we arrived and followed up to make sure that check-in was smooth. The listing is in a great location, easy to walk, uber, lyft, or car2go anywhere in the greater downtown Austin. His place was perfectly clean and organized as well!"
4217792,50483833,2015-10-12,36521081,Jacqueline,JD was an awesome host! Made us feel very welcome and had essentials for us! Great location for ACL!
5412078,28180055,2015-03-19,12635114,Alexander,"We had a great time during SXSW at this place. Everything was very neat, clean and new. Thank you very much, Denise!"
5412078,47739850,2015-09-21,40577646,Anthony,"Home was great, very clean and very accommodating host."
5412078,50531109,2015-10-12,44841109,Jackie,Denise was absolutely amazing. She responded immediatly to any questions we had and even went out of her way to offer up ideas for visiting areas in Austin. Her home was just as pictured and absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for opening your home to us! 
3731904,49607123,2015-10-05,20916117,Lizette,"Samantha was very welcoming to our group. She was proactive in communicating before the event took place, arranged to meet us when our flight landed (even though it was a little earlier than normal check-ins usually are), meet us at the time designated, gave us a little tour, explained where things were, had a welcome basket, and little hotel-like amenities. She was also just super friendly, and made us welcome in her home!

The listing description is accurate, and the photos are up to date, and everything was clean and prepared for guests. They do own dogs, which she was upfront about in her listing, so it wasn't a problem for us. The neighborhood was great. Close to downtown, SOCO, and ACL festivities. Great location."
3731904,50459769,2015-10-12,41773055,Jacob,The description was spot on and then some. The location was extremely safe and the living space was more than welcoming. I would definitely stay here again!
346316,47669454,2015-09-21,3065594,Stephen,"Joan did such an amazing job making us feel welcome in her beautiful home. She put out a welcome basket with snacks and maps and there was a very helpful guide to Austin handy. Joan's home was very accurate and the perfect place for us to stay for our trip. Her backyard pool area was everything we hoped for and we had such a blast. The neighborhood is elegant, clean and very private. Although you cannot fully tell how close the neighbors are from the pictures, it felt very private and remote. A true slice of heaven. I would highly recommend this spot for ACL or any fun weekend of relaxation in the Austin area. Truly a great find!"
346316,49472133,2015-10-04,14343694,Taylor,"Joan made us feel very welcome and was very helpful in ensuring a stress free  arrival. She was quick to respond to any inquiry we had before or during our stay. One thing that was upsetting was the misinformation regarding the number of beds. 1 of the 5 beds listed was only a blow up mattress. But overall this house and location for our ACL weekend was everything we could ask for, with a picture perfect hill country view from the back balcony"
346316,50269547,2015-10-11,34519387,Benjamin,"Joan was a great host. She was always quick to answer e-mails and share information, and when we got to the house we were greeted by a wonderful welcome basket. Great neighborhood!"
8294952,48044967,2015-09-22,26180462,Brett,"I had a great stay here. The house is beautiful and comfortable, and only a short drive from downtown. Sue was extremely welcoming and willing to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend this to others looking for an affordable and convenient place to stay in Austin."
8294952,49710338,2015-10-05,37805785,Arturo,"Great place to stay that is close to downtown without being too close to the ruckus. Awesome house, great ambience. We loved it. Clean and comfortable. "
8294952,51253135,2015-10-18,46668680,Michael,Such a beautiful house.  Was accurately described and Sue was a very gracious host.  We would definitely stay again.  
8294952,51857923,2015-10-24,14543594,Christine,"It was a great stay at Sue`s house. Sue provided us this accomodation spontaneously in the middle of the night after we have asked for this house on Air BnB (we did not feel safe in our booked accomodation).
It was a really nice and clean house in a quiet neighbourhood with a front porch we enjoyed every night!
Everything we needed was in the house and Sue asked regularly if there was anything else she could help us with.
So we can really recommend this house as an accomodation and Sue as a host!
"
4891249,50491974,2015-10-12,31252379,Gabriela,"This was my first time using airbnb and Jarred's condo was much more than expected. It is a very welcoming place and the condo is in a very calm neighborhood. Accessing the location and house is fairly easy, and there was no having to worry about using/losing the key because you use a pin pad to lock and unlock the door. I promise you would not regret staying in Jarred's condo!"
4050950,20048016,2014-09-22,21022514,Pedro,"Jason was a great host. Very flexible and friendly. The house was great, all brand-new appliances and lots of privacy. The inside of the house had a very nice modern style. We enjoyed our time in austin."
4050950,20523715,2014-09-30,21291749,Tom,"Jason was on top of everything, and a great host. The house was in great shape with new appliances and things in good order.  The location has very easy to access to downtown.  We will definately try to stay here again in the future.
"
4050950,20660282,2014-10-03,15450658,Ashley,"Pulling up to the house you are greeted by a modern fence which set a nice tone for the entire house, which was completely private.  The house was perfect for a mom daughter trip with a very Austin vibe.  The room partition made it nice to have 2 rooms, but you could hear things through it (my sister snores).  We loved the huge back deck in the back and the ability to park inside the gate in the driveway.  The AC worked great which was nice after the hot day.  We would highly recommend this house to anyone.  We go to Austin often, so we will be back! "
4050950,20763492,2014-10-05,7195272,Kevin,"We enjoyed our stay at Jason's place in Austin. We were 4 guys and each had their own room or area to sleep - perfect for ACL weekend! Jason was very easy to communicate with. The place is not in the greatest neighborhood but the unit is very nice and clean. Lots of sheets / linens / pillows and very comfy bed, pullout and couch. "
4050950,21405467,2014-10-16,22375614,Cheryl,"I thought it was weird that the door was just left unlocked and keys on the island inside. As a single traveler and a women this did not seem to be a safe practice. The neighborhood is kinda sketchy. The lawn was overgrown and there was a ""pond"" like area to the left of the door that was a mosquito breeding habitat. Although the amenities say you can park in the driveway you could not. The gate was secured and you could not open it, there was supposed to be a remote. I was informed by Jason that there were no blinds on the windows. I did not think this would be a big deal but it made foe horrible sleeping accommodations. The street light outside was like a interrogation light. I tried my best to block it with a mirror and extra pillows. At 11 pm I noticed there was not a hairdryer, had to venture out to get one as I had an all day business meeting the next morning. There was not any indication on the website that I would need to bring a hair dryer. The house was clean but I felt unsafe and did not sleep well."
4050950,22142559,2014-10-31,3555503,Florian,"Jasons place is neat and sunny, has lots of privacy behind fences. We found the neighborhood quiet, but it took us only a 15minute bike ride to get to downtown Austin. Jason was there for us whenever we needed anything. The nighttime glare from streetlights which another guest criticized is now blocked out by blinds. Me and my friend had a great time there and would be happy to return."
4050950,22250803,2014-11-02,21918523,Jaime,"We had an amazing time at Jason's place. Contrary to a past reviews, we felt very safe. We walked around the neighborhood at night and there was people outside their porch enjoying the chilly weather. The house has a very cool feel to it. The location has an easy access to downtown. Jason was friendly and easy to communicate with. Overall it is a great place to stay in Austin!"
4050950,23104659,2014-11-23,2938186,Jessica & Charlie,"Jason's place was just like it was described but better!  This is a private home that is enclosed with an electric security fence so you really do have that Oasis feel.  We were traveling with our dogs and they loved being able to roam free in the yard while I enjoyed not having to walk them!  

Everything was brand new and it looks like an Ikea showroom throughout the entire house.  You can tell Jason put a lot of work into renovations and even though I thought the place was perfect he came over with a new picnic table and told us about his plans for an outdoor grilling area.

Any concerns or questions we had were answered immediately.  I don't think I waited a half hour at any time for his response so that was much appreciated.  

The area is close to Congress and downtown but as he said you would need a car to get there.  His neighborhood seems to be getting a lot of renovations on homes and new construction so I bet in a couple years this place is going to be the new hot location.

We couldn't have asked for a sweeter Texan host than Jason and he even stopped by on our way out to say goodbye.  We would love to stay here again if we are ever back in town. 

Thanks for everything Jason!"
4050950,25781095,2015-01-25,2389007,Brandon,"Jason was very cordial and helpful with accommodations, his property offers exceptional privacy indoors and outside. Everything was perfect, and the recommendations for local restaurants were spot on! I highly recommend staying here!"
4050950,26828029,2015-02-20,18114083,Robert,Amazing every single time.
4050950,27233081,2015-02-28,12454723,Will,"Host was very helpful and was never more than a phone call or text message away.  Place was well kept, clean, and felt very homey and vibey.  Will def stay again"
4050950,27750398,2015-03-10,9753142,Laura,"Perfect spot. The house is beautiful the porch is awesome and Jason is on point. The neighborhood is cool and quiet, the fenced in yard was great for our dog, the place was very clean and had everything we could need. Plus only an $8 uber to downtown. Will definitely stay here again when we're back in austin! "
4050950,28685153,2015-03-28,17556324,Anna,"The place was near downtown which was really nice, the house was very clean and has a modern feel to it. There was gated door for our cars and the check-in process was very easy.
The only thing was the beeping noise from the gated door. We came back from downtown and there was a beeping noise. At first we thought it was from fire alarm, but we couldn't find any fire alarm that was beeping then we figure out it was the gated door. But we couldn't figure out how to shut it off. When we got used to the noise it wasn't too bad. Minus the beeping sound, it was a wonderful place. "
4050950,29244393,2015-04-05,30469840,Luis,"Jason's place is perfect for someone who wants to be near the entertainment but avoid the all the traffic and noise. It's very cheap to take an uber just about anywhere. The place is great, it has all the amenities you could need and it's very cozy. Will definitely look to stay here again next time we're in Austin."
4050950,30192850,2015-04-19,15815269,Kacie,"Oasis is an accurate description; it's in a funky little neighborhood and this place definitely sticks out. There is a strong ikea vibe inside. The space is probably most comfortable for two people. Don't plan on walking anywhere from here, but it's a very short drive to the east side and downtown. 
Jason was a hands off host and was flexible about check in and check out. "
4050950,31673784,2015-05-08,14858950,David,"Lovely house in a great location, Jason was incredibly helpful and and clear communicator"
4050950,32433807,2015-05-17,33248609,Alyssa,"Our airbnb experience in Austin was perfect. The house was exactly as stated in the post, and we felt very safe and comfortable during our time there. Access in and out of the house was very easy, and the private parking area inside the gate gave us extra piece of mind versus parking on the side of the road.  There were plenty of fun restaurant and bar options all around the neighborhood and only a 5-10 minute Uber drive away. Would definitely stay here again. Jason was very easy to get ahold of and answered all of our questions. "
4050950,32711007,2015-05-20,9689143,Erick,"Great location, cool place and very convenient for groups. Jason was very communicative throughout. Definitely recommend it!"
4050950,44168811,2015-08-24,7339057,Thomas,"Jason's ""Eastside Oasis"" was the perfect accommodation for us.  It came exactly as advertised, clean and close to all the cool stuff going on in East Austin.  Jason volunteered to stop by, and gave us lots of great suggestions for places to eat and drink, and enjoy the wide variety of cool musical performances going on around town.  I'll be coming back to Austin, and would definitely stay there again!  Five stars."
4050950,45032536,2015-08-30,41776240,Monica,"The indoor space was as described but the outdoor space was not. This was our first trip taking our dog with us so outdoor space was very important. From the description this place sounded perfect but when we got there the yard was very overgrown, the fence did not go down far enough giving a puppy enough room to get out, there was an old boat, trailer and a very run down shed in the back with trash all over it. There were also 3 out of 5 lights that did not work in the backyard making it very dark. We did call Jason about these issues but said he was out of town and there wasn't much he could do. We figured we were only there 2 nights so it wasn't necessary to make someone come attend to all of that.  There's also not much privacy in the back of the house because there are no curtains and walls of windows. This was our first time using airbnb and I'm glad we tried it but this will not be a house we will be revisiting. "
4050950,49923546,2015-10-07,19166575,Tiago,"The place was okay, but looked better in the pictures. The neighborhood was a little scary, but pretty close to downtown. With 5 people you end up being pretty tight. Plus, there were obviously some mice or other little animal in the walls. A last resort option in Austin."
240509,12401535,2014-05-01,13352403,Enis,"Very nice place, quiet and close to the dowtown ; everything to enjoy your trip in Austin.
Elizabeth is a great host !"
240509,21114639,2014-10-11,22241132,Alex,Check in time was 5pm and I arrived early afternoon and Elizabeth allowed me to drop off my bags while I did some sightseeing. She answered some questions and was helpful when needed. She had a busy weekend so I did my own thing from that point. The house is two blocks from bus stop which takes you right into 6th At where all the bars are. Quick 10-12 minute ride
240509,21321676,2014-10-14,22249471,Angel,"We rarely saw Elizabeth but the little that we saw her, she was very attentive, flexible with the checking in and agreat at responding to messages. The house is at a great location, and there is even a bus stop that takes you to Austin Downtown within 3 blocks from the house. Room was as described, private and clean. We would definitely stay here again."
240509,21812294,2014-10-24,14225808,Marissa,"Elizabeth's house was lovely, and the room was very clean. We arrived very late at night and she made arrangements for us to get in and settle into our room. We like walking so we walked a lot from the house to the downtown area, but it seemed there were also buses around. The coffee was great! Highly recommend."
240509,21988189,2014-10-27,3097348,Tim,The room was clean & comfortable with Elizabeth as an excellent host.  Good location -- all in all a great experience.
240509,22049129,2014-10-28,14137901,Anastasia,"A great place for a quick crash.  Location was convenient and clean, bed comfortable, and Elizabeth was good about communicating how to get into and leave the house.  Only two things of particular note.  The listing fits two just fine, as long as you are comfortable sharing a twin bed.  And this host is not one of those hosts who sits around the living room with you having tea and a good chat.  Though she was clearly home, we did not see her in person at all, and the only sure sign we had that we were in the right place was a post-it note stuck to the bedroom door.  This was fine for us, but might not suit everyone."
240509,22127467,2014-10-30,22939981,Brandi,"The neighborhood was nice - kind of older, but felt safe.  Host was very communicative during process and also allowed WiFi access.  The room was a little messy and could have been vacuumed prior to arrival. But bed was nice and clean and I was able to get a good nights rest.  Location to downtown was ideal and made my trip overall pleasant.  "
240509,22316641,2014-11-03,21109044,Philip,"Great. Although we didn't see much of Elizabeth throughout the 4 night stay, she did provide us with everything we expected and helpful insight of Austin."
240509,22900041,2014-11-17,9297158,Sapphire,"I needed a room to stay near downtown Austin for a weekend, and this place was perfect. Elizabeth and her roommate were very sweet and accommodating, and I had no problems at all. They also have a bunch of really sweet dogs. "
240509,22998085,2014-11-19,22349150,Andrew,Elizabeth was responsive to messages and had the room cleaned/ready upon arrival.  She was friendly and offered recommendation on where to eat in town.
240509,23374151,2014-11-30,10430951,Amanda,"Great location, clean bathroom and sweet hostess. Can run or bike downtown. She would not be there upon arrival so she left a key hidden. It was apparently moved (not Elizabeth's doing) and I was lucky her RV neighbor/dog sitter (they have 4+ dogs) was in the house. He informed me they were having a get-together and asked if Elizabeth had told me it would not be a ""quiet house."" I was so exhausted I just nodded and fell asleep. This is not a reflection on the hostess at all. I woke up later & they were quite drunk but offered me their Thanksgiving meal which was so nice! House definitely could've been cleaner. She was traveling so it's ok, and her dog sitter left plenty of mess himself so :) I rented this room specifically for the bike which I had to go grab at a local bar where it was forgotten and then had to put air in it. Hopefully it was just an ""off"" experience as it was Thanksgiving but regardless I am grateful she allowed a guest! Nice little corner store also, check it out!"
240509,23476049,2014-12-01,6340895,Sarah,"Elizabeth's place is super cute and comfy. My best friend and I came into Austin for the weekend and her room accommodated us perfectly - we were comfortable and walking distance to the nightlife.  Although we didn't meet Elizabeth in person, she was very communicative and accomodating, and by the looks of her place, a really cool person!"
240509,25310477,2015-01-12,23314376,Julie,"We didn't get to meet Elizabeth, but she made everything easy for us. She even upgraded us to the birdhouse since she wasn't home during our stay. The birdhouse was great. It was cosy and had all we needed for our stay. We would stay there again. "
240509,26554545,2015-02-15,5592244,Stephanie,"The room is at a very convenient location and I was able to come and go without any problem. Was able to set temperature to my comfort, too, which was a plus. Elizabeth made sure to check in on things during my stay and showed me how to work the shower and washer/dryer. I also asked about a piece of furniture to store clothes in and she helped me move it in. Finding street parking in front of the house was never a problem. I was comfortable overall and would stay here again."
240509,26789796,2015-02-19,26601339,Nikki,Easy walk to east 6th bars and super quiet neighborhood. Elizabeth was quick to answer any questions. Perfect if you're just looking for a place to crash
240509,26850226,2015-02-20,26019758,Sophie,Great little room in a great location walking distance from the bars of 5th and 6th street. Elizabeth's tips were spot on and we loved our stay.
240509,28653816,2015-03-28,6358846,Jenny,This house was rad! Close to everything we needed and super clean. Elizabeth is a great host and helped us out as much as she could when we saw her. Would defiantly stay here again. 
240509,28802093,2015-03-30,15830601,Will,"I was unable to meet Elizabeth in person but she was very accommodating. 

Scheduling conflicts resulted in some change of plans but Elizabeth made sure our stay went well. "
240509,28972152,2015-04-01,25869082,Daniel,"Great place to stay. As described, easy walk to town, clean and good communication from host. Happily stay here again."
240509,29932397,2015-04-14,6428544,Patrick,Awesome host. AIRbnbBFF. For sure! Really helpful and even went out of her way to make sure I had all the information for my visit. :)
240509,31083013,2015-05-01,4588857,Lucy,"House is in a great location, lots of good bars close by. We did not meet Elizabeth but loved our stay at her home and she was very helpful through messaging. Would stay again!"
240509,31452062,2015-05-05,18018389,T.J.,"This house is located in a nice and quiet neighborhood but still very accessible to numerous public transit options to downtown. There are also quite a few great coffee shops within walking distance. The house is cute and has a great personality which I enjoyed greatly. Although I didn't run across Elizabeth during my stay, the comprehensive instruction and suggestions from her made the experience very smooth. "
240509,31938454,2015-05-12,4986913,Joel,Elizabeth provided great communication throughout our booking. The room was as described. The house is in a great part of town and Elizabeth provided us with some helpful tips of where to go around the area. Thanks for having us!!
240509,32286882,2015-05-16,2539577,Kate,"Elizabeth's house is in a good spot - about a 10 to 15 minute walk to some great bars, cafes and restaurants. The check-in instructions were clear and we met Elizabeth on the second day of our stay, and she gave us some good recommendations. We shared a bathroom with guests staying in the second bedroom inside the house. The house could do with a thorough clean and vacuum but overall it was fine! "
240509,32662999,2015-05-19,24526315,Natascha,"The room was really close to downtown. Me and Bianca stayed here one night and Elizabeth pulled out the bed, both mattresses were really comfortable. She had clean sheets, blankets and towels, and we were free to come and go as we pleased because we got a key. Would definitely stay here if I was in Austin again."
240509,33257393,2015-05-26,30436710,Paulina,"Elizabeth es la mejor anfitriona que se pueda pedir. No hablo inglés y ella hizo sus máximos esfuerzos por comunicarse en español conmigo, así es que hizo mi estadía muy agradable en cuanto al idioma y también muchísimo por su  preocupación al darme indicaciones sobre la ciudad, al asegurarse constantemente de saber si yo necesitaba algo, al integrarme a sus amigos (en español), al preocuparse en general de que no estuviera sola ni aburrida, lo que agradezco mucho. La habitación es la que describe y aparece en la fotografía, la casa es amplia y cómoda. El barrio es tranquilo, el centro está cerca y los autobuses que llegan a UT pasan dos cuadras de la casa.

Elizabeth y su casa son absolutamente recomendables para una estadía en Austin. Tuve la mejor experiencia, espero poder volver con menos tiempo de biblioteca y más tiempo de  paseo.
"
240509,33785827,2015-06-01,23136828,Jan,"I felt very welcome when I arrived at Elizabeth’s place and had a beer on the front porch with Elizabeth and her friends. The room is nice and quiet and I was glad that I had decided to stay here. The neighborhood is perfect, it’s close to bus stops, to downtown, the lake and you can walk to the famous E 6th Street."
240509,34081795,2015-06-04,14337769,Nikki,"Our room was very clean (cozy with the trundle but fine for our needs), nice large bathroom. Good place for people who will spend most of the days out and keep to themselves -Elizabeth works from home and common spaces are usually occupied. "
240509,35376413,2015-06-18,20279197,Carrie,"The house was clean and just as Elizabeth had described it, I felt safe and really at home. Thanks for a wonderful stay, as well as thank you to Elizabeth's assistant Elizabeth (!) who was an invaluable local aid. "
240509,36177720,2015-06-26,24055811,Joey,"Elizabeth's place had a perfect location to explore, very close to bars and restaurants. I had a great time. Her home was homely and welcoming and was a comfortable place to stay, thanks again!"

240509,39177566,2015-07-21,35019563,Amaira,"The room was decent enough, the house fairly clean. although the smell of the dogs would slip in the air. The location is fine. very quiet neighborhood. Would need Uber or car to get to downtown area. could walk but still a trek. "
240509,39711458,2015-07-25,36054011,Lauren,Wonderful place to stay in Austin! Elizabeth was extremely welcoming and gave great recommendations for thing to do and places to eat. 
240509,40631471,2015-08-01,2164018,Leslie,"A functional room for one person in a great location in the East end of the city. A number of restos, bars and music venues with a 10 minute walking radius. You're also a quick stroll from the river. The place was a bit messy and the kitchen perhaps a bit too cluttered to cook for yourself, but if you need and affordable place to crash, this would be it."
240509,41884013,2015-08-09,5821812,Taylor,"Elizabeth made it a very easy experience to stay with her.   Very reasonable price for a good location, and a private room.   Highly recommend"
240509,42165043,2015-08-11,38123830,Michelle,The room was just as described and very comfortable. Checking in was very smooth. Elizabeth was very flexible about our check in time because of our circumstance. Overall a great place and very close to downtown. 
240509,42944611,2015-08-16,32974408,Daniela,"The place is just like the picture on the profile. It was nice. Did not get to wonder through the neighborhood but the bus stop is not far.
"
240509,43192308,2015-08-17,41330620,Maximilian,"I found the room on a short notice when my friend and I decided to spend the weekend in Austin. The room was clean and the bathroom quite spacious. We only spent a night there so I could not comment on the other amenities. However, the room's convenient location (5 min drive to downtown Austin) and the cheap price ($42 for the night) are the biggest plus. I would definitely stay at Elizabeth's place again."
240509,43450857,2015-08-19,34444182,Natalia,"Thank you so very much, Elizabeth, for special accommodation. 
It was a great experience. Really nice house in a good location. Comfortable bed, great bathroom. 
There's a B-Cycle station about 6-7 blocks away. I walked there and biked all the way to downtown; it only took about 15 min. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you. "
240509,43979652,2015-08-23,37932607,Ross,"Elizabeth was very flexible in letting me leave my bags there before scheduled check in time. It is in a great location of Austin, I walked everywhere and was able to see some awesome parts of the city that most other people would not! They kept it nice and cool, which in 90
+ degree weather was AMAZING!"
240509,45161479,2015-08-31,22650714,Katie,Great neighborhood and comfortable accommodations. 
240509,45593061,2015-09-04,33837635,Amanda,"Great stay. Check-in and out was easy. Room was neat and tidy, as was bathroom. Neighborhood is walking distance to see the bats fly out from the Congress Ave bridge at night. Also many restaurants and bars nearby."
240509,45878976,2015-09-06,15773320,Holly,"Elizabeth's place is super cute, very comfortable, and perfectly located. Elizabeth is kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place, especially if you like east Austin, but it is also close enough to walk downtown. Uber ride to/from downtown is less than 5$."
240509,46286564,2015-09-09,39275076,Kevin,"Pleasant 3-night stay in a nice home, with easy access to destinations in East Austin and downtown. Clean, cool room (with ceiling fan) next to a spacious tile-floor bathroom.   "
240509,47165792,2015-09-16,22738692,Evelyn,"Elizabeth was a wonderful host, and I'm so glad my boyfriend and I decided to stay at her home during our trip to Austin. The location is perfect - within walking distance to downtown, Rainey street, east 6th street, Town Lake, and plenty of other sights. Very convenient. The house and room were clean and comfortable, and the Internet works really well. Plus, she has some of the best and friendliest dogs in the whole city. Overall, I wish I could have stayed longer. Don't hesitate to book this room."
240509,47742242,2015-09-21,8165776,Francis,"The host was super friendly and had an extremely clean, cool guest room for my friend and I. Incredibly close to the heart of East Austin. The guest room is very homely and made us feel relaxed whenever we came back. Highly recommended. "
240509,48397900,2015-09-26,6749085,Anaïs,"We had a nice time at Elizabeth's. The house is charming and Elizabeth is a welcoming person. The area is perfect as you can reach plenty of cafés, restaurants and bars by walking distance. The room is small but we didn't mind as it was really just for sleeping. We felt home as if we were flat sharing and that's a great feeling! Thanks Elizabeth!"
240509,48647904,2015-09-27,14481302,Ché,"Elizabeth took a chance on me, being that this was my first Airbnb booking, and was very communicative. I appreciated that! I wasn't able to take advantage of how close the place was to the lake or anything else, but at this price, it's a steal. Some minor things going on with construction in the house and the hot water temp. down but it didn't affect my stay; I got a good night's rest and Elizabeth was very accommodating. Her dogs are also the most well-behaved pups ever! Thank you Elizabeth for a good first stay in your city. "
240509,48972804,2015-09-29,5370727,Amanda,Elizabeth was very accommodating to our last minute booking and was very helpful. We had to cancel the second nights stay due to a little construction that was happening at the house - however Elizabeth was very understanding and provided the refund without hesitation. 
240509,49944169,2015-10-07,1011399,Colin,"Great location, in a quiet neighborhood in Austin.  Elizabeth has a wonderful home and is super cool, she even joined me at the concert I was in town for!   Would definitely stay there again!"

She had awesome recommendations of what we should do while in Austin, which was helpful since we only had one day! I would definitely stay with Elizabeth again!"
240509,51089635,2015-10-17,36885543,Hyunwoo,Awesome place. Very friendly and accommodating. 
240509,51246055,2015-10-18,46047455,Rama,"This was our first airbnb experience and Elizabeth was willing to give us a try. Location and the house is in an upcoming neighborhood of Austin. We enjoyed the bars we could walk to - very happening and they all have food trucks outside. As for the stay goes, room was little tight for two people, but hey we only paid $55, so we get what we paid for. Bathroom was shared between another bedroom, seems to be rented out through airbnb also. House can be little clean, but they are students, so we could understand it. Oh yeah, dogs - they were friendly and when we first walked in they were in the hall, but later they went back to backyard and we did it see them until we left. Overall decent stay in a upcoming hip neighborhood "
240509,51790688,2015-10-24,6429434,Shawn,"Stopped in for one night. Never got to meet Elizabeth but everything was as described with easy check-in/out, convenient location, and necessary accommodations. Walking distance to Rainey St and also 6th St. Thanks!"
240509,51849025,2015-10-24,36317384,Vicky,I was in between apartments and this served its purpose - cheap accommodations on the east side.  
316133,1001877,2012-03-15,1618258,Freddie,"Easily the best experience i've ever had renting out someones room. Everything was nice and tidy and super convenient to downtown. 

Thanks Mai"
316133,7227313,2013-09-11,3415755,Kip,I had a great time staying at Mai's place on South Congress in Austin. She provided really clear communication and everything was easy. The apartment is in a good location close to many of the restaurants and cafes on South Congress. It's also very close to a bus stop which makes getting around really easy if you don't have a car. Overall I had a great time there and recommend Mai's apartment to others.

7748653,48838597,2015-09-28,33601714,Stephanie,"This listing was amazing! This little townhouse was exactly what we needed for our weekend in Austin.  The location is great being so close to south Lamar with plenty of eateries and entertainment close by as well as a quick Uber into downtown.  The townhouse itself is adorable with an updated kitchen and plenty of space for 4 people.  And to top it all off, our host was very friendly and accommodating.  We hope to be able to stay here again on our next trip! "
7748653,50698429,2015-10-13,2213191,Sloane,"Adam was an excellent host. Super courteous and communicative and responsive. I didn't actually stay here myself, but booked Adam's place for a client of mine who was here for ACL. Adam's home was super close and convenient to the venue, and really comfortable and well-kept. My client had a great stay here, and we would definitely book Adam's place again next time we're in Austin!"
7748653,52178505,2015-10-26,47031804,Derek,"Great place in a nice, quiet neighborhood.  Location was very good and close to downtown, S. Congress, etc. I highly recommend staying here.  Adam was also a fantastic host with open communication and great follow up.  The only thing I can criticize and it's only minor is the lack of cable/satellite TV.  Yes there is a TV but no stations available, only a DVD player.  Internet however works great.  I can only suggest installing a Roku, Chromecast, or another streaming device for the best experience (when the weather doesn't cooperate).  Besides that one thing, I would absolutely recommend Adam and this town home to others and will look at staying here next year."
7748653,52879144,2015-11-02,23383547,Kristin,"Wonderful location, great space, and friendly neighbors! Your place felt like a home away from home during our wedding weekend."
5159932,28167717,2015-03-19,27284708,Matt,"Jasmine and Keith shared their amazing house with us during our stay in Austin. Their modern, sophisticated home offered a welcoming respite just a short bike ride away from the downtown chaos of SXSW.

They went above and beyond to recommend local spots, accommodate our needs and make us comfortable. They opened their home to us, and even offered fresh fruit, bottles of wine and cold beer upon our arrival. We spent several nights hanging out in their well-equipped kitchen, kicking back on their front porch or soaking in their pool/hot tub. We felt at home in their stylish rooms, each with unique artistic touches.

We highly recommend staying at their house when in Austin."
5159932,31194440,2015-05-03,12395094,Tami,We were in town for our daughters wedding and couldn't have asked for a better experience!! The house was amazing we felt like we were at a 5 star hotel. The hosts were more than accommodating allowed us early ck in and late ck out!  We would stay here again! Best experience with Airbnb we've ever had! 
5159932,35277738,2015-06-16,1660848,Tom,"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at this modern vintage home and would highly recommend it to our fellow AirBnb travelers.  The decor is stunning with many unexpected amenities  such as built in outlets on the kitchen island table for iPads and laptops. The house is filled with beautiful original art pieces from around the world. The location was ideally convenient to numerous eclectic cafes and coffee houses.
The hot/cold dipping pool is fantastic. The hosts, Jasmine and Keith, were very helpful, communicative and responsive to our needs and requests. We are seasoned AirBnB lodgers and consider this one of our very best experiences. We would love to stay there again !

I truly appreciated that it was quiet "
5159932,42050800,2015-08-10,3290447,Peter,"We had a wonderful time in Austin at Jasmine's place. Conveniently located, great beds, really nice bathrooms, speaker control throughout the house, pool/hot tub larger than expected, beautifully decorated, and wonderful suggestions. We would definitely return for another visit there. You've got to do Town Lake on the electric bikes they suggest, such an experience!"
5159932,46193879,2015-09-08,41961367,Rebecca,"Had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at the Vintage Modern house. The house is beautiful with interesting art, lots of space, super comfortable beds, great pool shaded by pecan trees and a great location for all activities. Jasmine and Keith are great hosts - from the great recommendations for things to do & places to eat, to the well stocked amenities and great music collection. Fantastic all around. "
5159932,48438828,2015-09-26,392208,Marc,"Jasmine's house is is simply superb. It has everything you would wish for and then surprises you with something you did not imagine you would want (and then notice you always needed in an AirBnB home). Spacious, very nicely furnished, extremely clean, in great shape, it is the perfect place to relax in after a busy day in Austin. To top it all off, Jasmine was a fantastic host. While we did not get around to spending time with her, she responded very quickly to any questions and sorted any issues perfectly. Highly recommended ! "
5159932,48707965,2015-09-28,6827019,Cara,"Jasmine was the perfect host! She went above and beyond to make our weekend in Austin wonderful. Her house is INCREDIBLE -- I've stayed in so many Airbnbs, and this is by far the nicest house I've been to. The decor is incredible; the entire house is brand new and feels like it was designed with intent. It is just gorgeous. Jasmine keeps the house impeccably clean and well-stocked with the best products -- my girlfriends and I particularly appreciated the Paul Mitchell shampoo and Neutrogena face wash in every bathroom! We also loved the backyard, complete with adorable string lights and a beautiful hot tub/pool. I couldn't imagine a better weekend getaway. I can't wait to come back!!!"
5159932,49609104,2015-10-05,20316833,V,Jasmine and Keith were amazing hosts.  They have a lovely home in Austin and it was perfect for our group.  We really enjoyed the thoughtful amenities and the beautifully designed space.   It was a great experience!
5159932,51476067,2015-10-20,14041452,Moria,What an amazing house! This house was fully stocked with everything we needed! They were very easy to get in touch with and even let us check in early! We had more than enough space for the 5 of us. We especially loved the music that played all throughout the house! I would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone staying in Austin!
5159932,52206355,2015-10-27,6410448,Cindy,"This house is beautiful and just as described.  We loved the design of the house, how well stocked it was, and in particular we loved the pool (warmed up for the chilly weather we had).  It was also conveniently located to the areas of town that we wanted to spend time in.  Jasmine and Keith were totally responsive - great hosts!  "
2512464,10948983,2014-03-14,12035841,Marvin,"The room was great. Huge walkin closets, and comfortable bed. "
2512464,12321421,2014-04-28,14590123,Maria,"When trying to make the reservation Xin was very nice and quick to answer all my questions.  The room was just as advertised, spacious and clean!"
2512464,12580333,2014-05-05,14660392,Judy,Xin was such a great host. The house and neighborhood were beautiful and very quiet. It was also a short drive to downtown Austin. The room and bathroom was very clean. We felt very at ease there and could come and go as we please.
2512464,13034606,2014-05-18,12248791,Ning,"This is a great place located at one of the best neighborhood in Austin. Close to HEB shopping center. The room is spacious with a big and nice bath room. The host is very hospitable. My family really had a good time. Will book again next time to Austin, highly recommended. "
2512464,13125720,2014-05-19,15618013,Anthony,Our room was in a beautiful home in a beautiful part of town. Xin was so nice! Thank you for being pet-friendly!
2512464,13335388,2014-05-25,15798388,Ivan,"The home exceeded my expectation! Xin is very polite, and welcoming. I enjoyed conversing with her, and her house is gorgeous. The view is breath-taking. At night, I walked out to a cliff, a few yards away, and star-gazed with my friend. The Grove Restaurant is near her home, and I highly recommend dining there. I look forward to returning to Xin's home again."
2512464,21160395,2014-10-12,4134929,Tim,"Xin, the host, approached me and was very welcome the morning after my arrival. She gave good directions, and the room was exactly what it appears to be on the site. The natural beauty of the Westlake Texas Hill Country surrounds this place. If you're looking for a no-frills room in Westlake, this place is a good choice. No AC in early October makes for sweaty nights though."
2512464,43080845,2015-08-17,6844437,Shavir,Xin is a great host. She made us feel so welcome and ensured our stay was as comfortable as possible. The room and adjoining bathroom was very nice and quiet. Xin went above and beyond what would be expected of a host. We would definitely recommend Xin's place!
5245,973,2009-03-19,7711,Evonne,"Very nice, took me to the co-op healthy grocery and gave rides when possible. Has a sweet little dog and a lovely home to share."
5245,26088,2010-02-14,72327,Tina,"Paddy was very professional but also friendly. The house was lovely, the location was really perfect, and her dog Diego is very cute."
5245,140512,2010-11-16,280785,Bill,"Paddy's home is charming and she is a very gracious host. She was kind enough to walk me around the neighborhood and make me feel at home.

At first I thought the location was a bit far from downtown, but there's a bus route that is a mere 2-blocks from her house and it takes all of 10-minutes to get to The Capital. Biking in the area is great too; it's about a 15-minute bike ride to/from Downtown. Paddy was kind enough to drive me to a bike rental shop.

The neighborhood is a bit eclectic with a mixture of Austin locals, artists and activists. I was fortunate to be there the same weekend as East Austin Studio Tours (EAST), which gave me a chance to explore that section of Austin. Paddy & I went to an outdoor performance that was a few blocks from her home, which was (website hidden): Diego is a cutie."
5245,10893465,2014-03-11,1256319,Robbie,Paddy couldn't have been a more accommodating host. Her place was comfortable and near the rail line for quick access to downtown. All and all it was a great place to stay.
5245,24246280,2014-12-23,8651420,Daniel,"I had a very pleasant stay in Austin and Paddy was quite friendly and helpful.  She helped me find some places in the neighborhood (which I enjoyed staying in), and her place was like a relaxing oasis.  I would definitely stay here again."
5245,27973840,2015-03-15,17226865,Andrew,I had a great time staying with Paddy. She is a lovely person and a wonderful Airbnb host. I felt right at home and that's the best thing you can ask for with an Airbnb host. She communicated extremely well and helped me have a wonderful time in my visit to Austin.
5490879,28412801,2015-03-23,28350758,Emilio,"It was awesome staying at Anne's! She was a very good host, we felt very comfortable at her place. She helped us with the places we needed to go, even gave us some rides! 

The location was good too, only 2 blocks away from the nearest bus stop, which takes you downtown in about 20 minutes. And also, her neighborhood is really quiet and welcoming! I'm sure I'm staying there again the next time I go to Austin!"
5490879,50553504,2015-10-12,12588829,Kristen,"Anne was a wonderful hostess! The house was newly renovated and comfortable, and she made us feel very welcome. The accommodations and neighborhood were as-described - centrally located with bus access to downtown, and close to the airport as well. Anne went out of her way to help us explore Austin and we had an amazing time. Will definitely be staying here again! Thanks so much for having us! "
5490879,52120812,2015-10-26,45827025,Darnell,Anne Marie was a great host! Very accommodating. 
7068459,48547927,2015-09-27,10564990,Jess,"I absolute loved Amy's condo! It was clean, spacious, cozy, and everything we needed for our weekend trip. The natural lighting is amazing too, not to mention the super convenient backyard she has. It was perfect for letting my pooch out, and sitting outside at night. She has lights out there which makes it so romantic looking. We sat out there every night with wine and some of her cool books she has. The AppleTv was a plus too! The location is GREAT - only a short 5-10 minute drive to downtown, Barton Springs, 6th, etc. South Lamar is very close also, providing more bars, shops, restaurants, and more. You will not regret staying here! I'm always a little hesitate being the first person to rent out a place, but Amy made me feel so much better right away. She was responsive from start to finish, and easy to get in contact with should you need help with anything. I'll definitely be staying with her again! Thanks, Amy! "
7068459,49639177,2015-10-05,5936774,Matt,"Amy was a fantastic host and her condo was clean, spacious and located really close to downtown. She responded to my messages promptly and was a huge help. Definitely stay at her place if you're headed to Austin."
7068459,51898129,2015-10-25,41660079,Greg,"Army's condo was great! Clean, well stocked and in a great location. Close to downtown, Congress St, and all the fun of South Austin. Booking, checkin, and checkout was smooth and simple. Amy responded quickly to all communications. Would stay here again if back in Austin.
Thank you Amy!"
8104700,49798700,2015-10-06,9583725,Melissa,"This was the perfect spot for our stay during Austin City Limits.  The condo was cute, very clean and inviting.  It was a perfect set up for the 3 of us, there would have been enough room for 2 more people comfortably. There was plenty of room and everything we needed was provided.  Loved having the bluetooth speakers to play our ACL spotify station while we were getting ready.  The location was great, very close to shopping, Kerby Lane for meals anytime, and a short uber ride to Zilker park.  Thanks for the great experience!"
8104700,50643943,2015-10-13,34546368,Drew,"This place was awesome! We had a group in town for ACL festival and couldn't ask for a better, cozier, more involved place. Everything was super clean and smelled nice when we arrived that evening and went smoothly for the next three days. If this place is available, I HIGHLY recommend it. It really made a difference in our experience. "
4558788,24291197,2014-12-24,11315246,Bonnie,We had a great stay at the cowboy trailer.  Casey was very accomodating and helpful.  He welcomed us on a moments notice and was very hospitable during our stay.  Would definitely stay here again: ) Thanks Casey
4558788,24349654,2014-12-26,17575421,Rachel,"Trailer was awesome! Only had one night to stay in it but it was worth it. Casey was very accommodating and communicated with me very well. If you're looking for a weekend stay this is a good place. It had everything you needed: a bed, kitchen and bathroom. "
4558788,25401667,2015-01-14,17970770,Eric,"Casey is an awesome guy and a very hard working person. 
He made us feel rite at home and the camper is just as he described. And the neighborhood is very peaceful.  Also the camper was very clean and neat. A big plus!  And for all hippies that like to walk to every thing this isn't your place. This is for normal people that love to get away from the rat race that want peace and quiet and like seeing a bit of wildlife"
4558788,25702902,2015-01-23,1600476,Cristy,"Casey was absolutely the best host I have experienced in all my travels. True story.
He made me feel welcome in myriad ways; gave me space as I needed it, welcomed me to visit his home for wildlife listening and great conversations. 
He even gave me ice cream and a CD of his when I was feeling down and homesick... Which turned out to be a new favorite CD even :)
I would not recommend any host, place to stay, or location more highly than I do these.
Thanks again, Casey, for everything! "
4558788,25704597,2015-01-23,26097881,Kim,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4558788,25979229,2015-01-31,17970770,Eric,As usual Casey was a wonderful host and the camper was in top notch condition!! He always provides a pleasant and wonderful stay.  Also even though the lake is low don't let that detour you. It's fun to walk the shore at dusk and explore the shoreline of the lake
4558788,26836959,2015-02-20,26097881,Kim,I loved my stay at Casey's trailer!  The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful.  Casey was always very helpful and kind.  The accommodations were perfect.  I hated having to leave.  I highly recommend booking this spot! 
4558788,27020095,2015-02-23,6525521,Priscilla,"What a great little spot! Cozy, tucked away, and you only have to walk maybe fifteen feet away from the trailer to see the lake! My boyfriend and I had a great time hanging out in the trailer and walking on the shores of Lake Travis. The shower pressure was a bit soft and erratic, but otherwise the heat was great, the equipment functioning just fine (the TV stand was apparently broken, but we didn't touch the TV, so no big). It was a bit confusing at first figuring out what controlled the AC (hint: it's the ceiling vent, not the side thermostat), but after that it was pretty much ideal for a cheap quiet getaway. The only people in the area we saw the two nights we stayed were Casey and his lady, when they came by to check on us and say hi, and they were super-friendly and accommodating!"
4558788,27374049,2015-03-02,10033033,Miranda,"The Lakeside Cowboy Trailer was adorable and homey! Casey was a thoughtful host. He actually had to go out of town the day/night we checked in and stayed, but I definitely felt as though I could contact him if I needed anything. The trailer is tucked away in a really pretty, grassy area with trees. Wonderful atmosphere. I loved being able to cook, and slept like a baby. The shower totally did the job, too! I would definitely stay here again in the future."
4558788,27416450,2015-03-03,2850889,Bonnie,"Casey is a cowboy and a gentleman. He really makes that trailer feel like home. He's also very quick to help — we had a little trouble connecting the DVD player to the TV and when we asked, he immediately hooked us up. He even brought some extra DVDs."
4558788,28152445,2015-03-18,29279684,Nick,"I stayed here with my wife and two kids. (7 and 5). We had a great time. Casey was a great host. Honest and cincere. Will definitely visit him again. The trailer is in a quit area to it self, and peacefull. The kids even got to see some deer walking around the the camper. Thanks Casey"
4558788,28818631,2015-03-30,29032821,Trevor,"Casey was a WONDERFUL host! The camper was a nice & wonderful retreat away from the bustling city life. The refrigerator was stocked upon arrival. Casey showed us the lake and responded extremely quick to all of our requests (which was a lot!). One thing to note... my husband is 6'8"" and it was quite comical seeing him in the bed & the shower. Casey even offered for us to use his restroom inside. We spent our last night sitting on Casey's back porch listening to nature and having great conversation! He is also a very talented musician that we were able to listen to the whole way home!"
4558788,29757654,2015-04-12,29285150,Heather,"Casey was such a great host.  He had excellent communication and was always getting back to us quickly.  The trailer was exactly what we expected, cute and comfortable.  You can wander out to the backyard with coffee and enjoy a cup overlooking the lake.  The trailer itself it about 35 minutes outside of austin, but honestly we never noticed.  We were out and about the entire time from morning until night so we didn't even see Casey until the end of our stay, even though we had tried to meet up numerous times (it was us always being on the move.) when we met him, we could see that he was down to earth and even invited us in to have a beer with him.  Casey is a gracious host and does anything he can do to make sure you have a comfortable stay.  I would definitely stay there again if back in the austin area!"
4558788,29890155,2015-04-13,30803848,Hay,"Casey was a wonderful host! It was so cozy and there was breakfast, such nice little touches! Thank you so much Casey. "
4558788,30336404,2015-04-20,23107384,Luz,"My husband and I are already talking about when we should return to Casey's lakeside trailer. We were looking for a quiet getaway with easy access to Austin when we wanted the city feel. It was perfect! It was fun to explore the trailer and see how Casey maximized the space. We used the stove, oven, and gas grill during our stay without a problem. My husband especially liked being able to watch the Mavs game on our laptop since the trailer has wifi. My husband spoke with Casey a couple of times, as Casey made sure to check-in on us--even when there was a storm coming, and he offered for us to take shelter at his house. I enjoyed staying in the trailer and watching the storm roll by. Will definitely visit again. Thanks, Casey!"
4558788,30849196,2015-04-27,8316598,Laura,"We had a great time staying at Casey's RV. 
Even Though it was a last minute booking, Casey was able to accommodate our needs.
The RV was in great condition and ready to use. 
The location very quiet and in a very nice neighborhood. 
We would stay there again"
4558788,31409990,2015-05-04,32271582,Kondja,"I was looking for a relaxing, quiet weekend and Casey's trailer exceeded all of my expectations. The trailer was well kept, on a quiet lot, & stocked with amenities. Upon entering, Casey had the A/C running so the trailer was nice & cool. In hot Texas weather, this was greatly appreciated. As a woman staying alone, I felt completely safe in his backyard. The area is well lit and I never felt nervous at night. My first night I ventured to see the lake and met Casey & his wonderful girlfriend. Both could not have been nicer and we had a great night hanging out. Casey responds very quickly and is overall a genuinely caring, friendly, & nice host. I would recommend staying here a thousand times over. Thanks for a great weekend Casey!!"
4558788,31915555,2015-05-11,20579386,Jared,"We made the best of a bad situation. 

Listing's description is inaccurate. Listed amenities not provided. Neighbors not friendly. Definitely not a lakefront property. Pictures are very deceiving. 

Informed the host of my displeasure and his response was to be happy with what I have received and don't leave a bad review or he would do the same. Then, he proceeded to lie about how the trailer's condition upon our departure. 

Be very, very cautious of a threatening and lying host.  "
4558788,31943007,2015-05-12,28409326,Ashley,Casey made us feel welcomed even before we arrived. He was traveling the day we arrived and made sure to send us a note to let us know the check-in process (super simple) and to let him know if we needed anything. The property had a wonderful view of the lake. We took full advantage of the grill and cooked up a delicious dinner. Casey made us feel right at home and was a pleasure to talk to while staying there. He even invited us in for breakfast. Wonderful hospitality. 
4558788,33269716,2015-05-26,31547787,Amanda,"My boyfriend and I stayed here over Memorial day weekend. Casey was a great host and very easy to communicate with! He was out when we arrived but messaged me the morning of to let me know that he wouldn't be there but left his and his girlfriend's number in case we needed anything. He stocked the fridge with some complimentary juices and yogurt. He even left us a note with some things to do in case of rain, as it was supposed to rain a lot the weekend we were there. The Trailer was clean and everything worked great (If you've never stayed in a trailer before, there are instructions on the wall for you!) No complaints :)"
4558788,34098403,2015-06-04,1762791,Robin,"Casey was the model Airbnb host-  happy, accessible, cared deeply about my having a good experience there, and tended to every last detail.  The camper is set up really nicely--- very comfortable, and has everything you need.  Casey makes it his priority to assure his guests are happy, too! At one point I found that the TV didn't get in any stations.  I let him know that it wasn't a big deal (I don't watch much), but thought he'd like to know about it.  The next day a brand new (and really nice) antenna was installed.  Done!  Thank you, Casey, for being such a great host and assuring that my stay was happy, comfortable and relaxed!  (PS: To those of you who might be looking for a camper in the middle of the wilderness, this is NOT it!  It's in a large lot, so you will have a lot of space, but you'll see the house behind you and won't feel like you're in the woods.  That said, it's SO convenient and helped me feel like I got the best mix of retreat/comfort, and convenience. "
4558788,34542290,2015-06-09,32051243,Daniel,"Casey was a great host, the camper was comfortable and the lake is beautiful.  We had a great time."
4558788,35183709,2015-06-15,22931435,Junius,"Casey was the best. So friendly , so welcoming. The place is sooo cute and just the perfect setting."
4558788,35577816,2015-06-20,32787271,Mary,Casey made us feel very welcome by inviting us to hang out on his porch and getting to know us a little bit. He was readily available any time we needed anything. We enjoyed the trailer very much and would definitely go back!
4558788,36606721,2015-06-29,36167826,Marisa,Casey was a great host.  Readily available to answer any questions and he is all about making his guest feel right at home.  A quiet getaway  with easy access to Austin. 
4558788,37013839,2015-07-03,9339719,Brian,"Staying at Lakeside Cowboy Trailer was like having your best friend set you up with an amazing place to stay, and then go the extra mile by providing fresh fruit, breakfast, coffee, a grill with everything you need to cook out, a friendly welcome, a welcome packet with information on where to go and more.  The trailer is clean and set up with nice towels, little soaps and even hotel style shampoos.  I swam in the lake every morning and hung out on the dock when ever I wanted.  I didn't want to leave.  I needed WIFI for work and the Internet speeds were great!  Austin is 30 minutes away but you feel like you are in a distant beautiful land.  Casey was such a great host that I want to move there! I hope I can stay there every time I go to Austin!  Don't listen to any other review!  If you would have fun staying in a little retro trailer and not a 5 star hotel, then this place offers everything and more. Thank you Casey!  (Great CD too!)"
4558788,38166279,2015-07-13,14682469,Colleen,"Casey’s RV was exactly as described!  Clean and cozy.  The RV was extremely convenient to the nearby marina where we joined friends on a party boat.  As soon as the boat unloaded we were inside the RV within minutes.  Casey was extremely flexible with arrival time and fantastic when it came to communication.
I agree that the area felt very safe and it was very quiet.  Got some great sleep before we headed home!
I really appreciated the note left for us, the AC that was already running and the continental breakfast available to us on the counter and in the fridge.  I’d recommend Casey’s RV to friends and stay there again myself the next time I’m in the area. "
4558788,38793470,2015-07-18,38294078,Kim,"I couldn't be happier with my first Airbnb experience! Everything was exactly as described and Casey was an amazing host...asked when I'd arrive to make sure the AC was on and the place was cool, stocked the fridge with breakfast items including fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs, milk, and OJ, and had a welcome packet with a personalized letter and info suggesting things to do in the area. He and his girlfriend came out to say hi and we sat and visited- I enjoyed talking with them about the area music scene. As a single traveler I felt very safe. The trailer was so comfortable and quiet that it was hard to leave- I definitely got the needed ""retreat"" I was looking for. Casey even stopped by to tell me bye- what a great host. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Casey! Great meeting you and Cassie - hope to hear you play your music in NM soon!"
4558788,40185313,2015-07-28,24636605,Travis,One couldn't ask for a better host. Casey is just a very good human being who cares a lot about making people feel welcome. My quarters were in pristine condition and snacks were provided. A/c worked great in the hundred degree heat. This is a great place to hang your hat while you explore the lake and Austin proper. 
4558788,40515210,2015-07-31,2909136,Seth,"The Lakeside Cowboy Trailer was just what I was looking for, and Casey is an excellent host. The trailer is in a quiet neighborhood, and only steps away from Casey's private boat dock on Lake Travis. We swapped songwriting stories over some beers. If you're looking for a clean, cool, inexpensive place in the Austin area, this is a winner."
4558788,40974829,2015-08-03,20238401,Paul,"We have spend 2 days in Austin at Casey's Lakeside Cowboy Trailer. Although I have never spend time in such a trailer, we really felt at home. Casey really took they effort to give you a warm welcome with fresh fruit, nice breakfast and even an afternoon treat of cold Texas beer.

We haven't spend to much time in the trailer or on the property, but the time we have spend there was great. The lake and the boat dock really makes you feel very far from the city were actually a beautiful 30 min drive will bring you to the heart of Austin. 

Great recommendations for restaurants as well."
4558788,41550094,2015-08-07,25711805,Stephanie,Casey was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were planning a weekend trip with this stop being our half way point to our destination so our expectations were not very high - with that being said you should expect Casey to cover everything and go over and beyond. We had quite the set back because our trip was a camping trip and my wonderful husband forgot the tent and air matress. We were to arrive around 7pm and turned around to head home at 6pm to get everything we left behind. Casey offered to check his camping supply and was going to let 2 strangers borrow his tent!! So... he's pretty awesome! We will definitely be going back to take in the beauty of Lake Travis and hopefully hang with Casey next time :)
4558788,42618415,2015-08-14,40823251,Katie,"I traveled to Casey's Lakeside Cowboy Trailer with my two kiddos- 10 & 4- and the trailer was the perfect size for the three of us!  My oldest was really wanting to ""camp"" in a trailer and I'm not a camper, but Casey was an awesome host and amazing camping facilitator for us. He was easily accessible while we were there and made a bunch of great suggestions about what to bring before we'd arrived. Our two nights in the trailer went by so fast- the drive into the city was quick and scenic, but there's also a lot nearby to do as well. All in all, this was a really fantastic first AirBnB experience. "
4558788,43138052,2015-08-17,40319632,Jodi,"Way to go Casey for being the coolest! My best friend and I spent my birthday weekend in Austin and we loved our stay at the Lakeside Cowboy Trailer. When we pulled up, Casey had a birthday balloon tied to a bottle of wine sitting on the fence, how cute is that? After exploring the city it was so nice to come ""home"" to a comfy/cozy trailer secluded in the woods on Lake Travis. Not only is it comfy but it's CLEAN which is such a plus. Casey was out of town when we were there but that didn't stop him from checking in on us and making sure we had everything we needed. He had endless recommendations for food and birthday shenanigans and stocked the fridge with breakfast food! The kitchen has everything you could need. We danced around in the trailer when we discovered the coffee creamer! We are already planning our next trip!"
4558788,43869970,2015-08-22,39070246,Devin,Casey was a great host. He was always checking in to see if we needed anything. He even offered to get us breakfast tacos. His place was laid back and very relaxing. He is right on the lake which was great for our paddle boarding. Very friendly host! 
4558788,44344345,2015-08-25,36012652,Clare,"Wonderful experience! We really loved the trailer and Casey's warm caring. Cozy trailer, nice breakfast, beautiful liver and so on. Want to visit there soon."
4558788,45527952,2015-09-03,17970770,Eric,I love staying at the cowboy trailer every time I'm in town.. Casey is always the best host and really has it down.  
4558788,46295110,2015-09-09,40023093,Alyssa,"Casey was super friendly and accommodating. His hospitality is second to none and we really enjoyed the care he took in providing breakfast. The Cowboy Trailer was great for a couple on a short vacation. It has great access to the lake, Austin and all the local eateries in the area. Nice and cozy, clean and quaint and just the spot for two city slickers to have an adventure."
4558788,46988285,2015-09-14,36076021,Kathy,"My husband and I had a lovely week-end in the Lakeside Cowboy Trailer. It was spotless and comfortable and felt spacious enough for a romantic getaway. Casey's Airbnb description was spot on, and he appointed the trailer with fresh fruit, eggs, butter and milk for a yummy breakfast. He also supplied instant oatmeal and coffee grounds for a fresh brew. The lake level is up and the area thriving with fun recreational things to do. The nights were cool enough for a cozy chiminea fire, and Casey made us feel very welcome, indeed."
4558788,47275488,2015-09-17,36862923,Jason,"I had a wonderful stay at Casey's Cowboy Trailer. There were no unpleasant surprises, however, there were a couple of thoughtful pleasant ones. Casey was a very hospitable and gracious host. I happily recommend his place to those looking to get away from the resorts. Friendly, clean quiet and inexpensive. Thank you Casey. "
4558788,47774552,2015-09-21,21445923,Hannah,"Casey was a great host, and the Cowboy Trailer is everything we hoped for! The fridge was stocked with fresh water, coffee, eggs, milk, and fruit which came in handy as we forgot to stop at the store on the way (website hidden) was great for a Texas Summer. Casey was incredibly helpful and made our trip complete!

I'd recommend this place to anyone who enjoys RV living!"
4558788,48364195,2015-09-25,44861736,Asia,"Cassie was awesome! He was extremely warm, welcoming and informative. He suggested a few jazz/blues bars for my boyfriend and I to try out and we loved all of his suggestions. It was our first time staying in a trailer and I must say Cassie set the standard. The trailer was well stocked with breakfast items and all the basic essentials. There was a personalized letter and frozen glasses for our beer waiting for us which we thought was so cool. The location was a nice getaway from the city which allowed for a nice mix of activities and relaxation. I would definitely revisit! "
4558788,48831931,2015-09-28,29316089,Cynthia,"I had a great experience booking with Casey, even though it was so last minute. He was very attentive and available. The trailer is small but clean and cozy. The area is nice area and it's not to far from the state parks."
4558788,49842610,2015-10-06,39525532,Asish,"Casey was an amazing host, very friendly, more than willing to offer help and a good dude to hang around. 
His place was a small paradise surrounded by woods and less than couple minute walk to Lake travis. When we got there he left all the necessary info on a check in packet and as soon as we walked in we were amazed how clean and well kept his camper was. He also had some groceries and fruits stocked on fridge. The place was very private and felt like home. The chiminea was perfect for chilling outside while burning some wood. Casey made sure we felt comfortable during our stay. Staying at Casey's place has been one of the best travelling experience and I would recommend him to everybody who is looking for a place to stay in Austin."
4558788,50685175,2015-10-13,35251630,Kristi,My husband and I stayed in caseys trailer for 3 nights. We went to austin for our anniversary and the trailer was perfect!! It was exactly as he described! I would definately recommend this place!! It was very clean and casey even left us a welcome packet and breakfast!!  He was an amazing host alwayd made sure we were ok and if we needed anything! If your coming to austi. You must stay here!!
4558788,51371027,2015-10-19,41413389,Michell'E,"I wanted to surprise my boyfriend for our 2 yr anniversary so I chose Caseys spot and it was great! We had a really good time in Austin, the trailer was fun and new for us! We didn't get to hang with Casey much but he's an awesome host and very helpful! We really enjoyed the food and snacks left by him. We were able to use our Amazon firestick because of the wifi. The place was so quiet at night which made for a great nights sleep. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to visit again...Thanks Casey!!!"
4558788,51947239,2015-10-25,8008980,Cathy,"We had  an awesome experience. We arrived to a cooled lodging and full fridge. Cassie was very kind and caring with top service. He offered us wood and groceries since we were from out of country. He checked in on us when we left to assure that we left safely and we were nit harmed by horrible weather. The atmosphere is relaxing and the location is superb.  The home was comfy and clean. We loved it and the whole experience, we recommend 120 percent."
4558788,52545070,2015-10-30,7645024,Nikki,Casey was a great host and the camper was cozy and clean. We were able to extend our stay last minute and really enjoyed being on Hudson Bend!
4558788,52867210,2015-11-02,21108894,Melissa,Casey was so nice and gave us a warm welcome! The trailer is true to the pictures and description. Really close to Lake Travis and surrounding area. It was about 45 min drive to downtown Austin. Casey even left some breakfast fruit and bagels for us. We had a fun time staying in a cowboy trailer ! Even the Texas storms didn't ruin our experience. 
912847,10798435,2014-03-08,481832,Robbie,"Chad was super nice and accommodating. He welcomed me at check-in with a full tour, offered some local tips, and was easily reachable via text.

I stayed here for 5 days during a conference and it was the perfect home base throughout the day and at night for me and two co-workers.

The master suite is especially comfortable, with a huge bathroom and a room that is completely isolated from noise and light at night. The entire apartment has been beautifully remodeled and is a noticeable upgrade compared to the units around it. Even small touches are there--lots of lighting with dimmers, entertainment system with master remote, and a magnetic induction stove top."
912847,11545373,2014-04-07,12831535,Sharyn,"Chad was an awesome host during our stay in Austin. The condo was the perfect setup and size for our party of 6. The location could not have been better,  just two blocks from all the action on 6th and right across the street from a Starbucks. We will definitely stay at Chad's again!"
912847,17887218,2014-08-18,6682990,Massimo,"Good location. Chad was very helpful and available. Slightly pricy, but the apartment is good, clean, well furnished and comfortable."
912847,20917674,2014-10-07,17733196,Angela,"Chad was very warm, welcoming and flexible. The apartment is great - we would stay there again!"
912847,21962648,2014-10-27,21618703,Scott,"Chad made my first experience on airbnb so smooth that I'd happily use him and/or this site again! The place was in a perfect location, had great accommodations, and Chad made himself accessible too. I'd highly recommend using him if you're an out-of-towner looking to hit up Austin."
912847,22513785,2014-11-08,23333918,Rob,"Chad was very responsive, which is great for relieving a lot of the stress if you're staying at his place for business. Pictures didn't do his home justice. Fridge was stocked with brews which was nice for the little downtime that we did have. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for being a great host Chad."
912847,22577493,2014-11-10,356808,Jared,"This AirBnb is the perfect location in Austin.  Everything is walkable and the new Airport bus (which only costs $1.50 and is just as fast as a cab) stops literally on the corner of the building.  Chad is a good host -- he booked us an incredibly hard to get table at La Condesa (HIGHLY recommended).  He was communicative and friendly, easy to reach when needed.  The apartment was in perfect condition upon arrival.  One important note -- Chad charges an Austin city hotel tax for this AirBnb which is hard to tell from the listing, and he did not tell us until after we booked & paid.  He asked us to pay it in cash/paypal on arrival.  We ended up settling this issue with AirBnb -- who covered the tax for us.  But be sure to connect with him on this issue BEFORE booking, so you know exactly how much money you owe. "
912847,28375636,2015-03-23,8027748,Angelica,"Chad's place is absolutely amazing, and right across from the convention center, which was perfect for SXSW. His place was comfortable, modern, and stocked with some drinks and snacks when we arrived. If ever in the area again, I'll definitely try and stay here again."
912847,29823175,2015-04-13,19687976,Daniel,"Chad was a great host! We had a group of 7 and all had a very comfortable stay. Everything we needed was provided and the location was fantastic. We had guys arriving early and leaving later than the check in/out times, but Chad was very accommodating and flexible. I would definitely consider Chad's place again for another trip back to Austin."
912847,31329695,2015-05-04,1578373,Aditi,"Chad was absolutely amazing from the beginning of the booking to the very end. He was very clear about all the million questions I had and more than that, very prompt and responsive. Even during the trip while Chad was away in Europe, he took the time to answer all the questions I had. 

Moving on to his place, it is beautiful, well kept, and in an amazing location in Austin, close to everything you'd want to be close to. 

I cannot recommend the place enough. If I'm back in Austin again, I'd stay at his place in a heartbeat again!"
912847,45089802,2015-08-31,16427681,Loli,"Chad was responsive and accommodative from beginning to end, and provided detailed instructions on all fronts. The apartment is absolutely amazing! Exactly as depicted - we were 7 and fit more than comfortably. Having a pool was so great, too. The location is as convenient as it gets if you are looking to explore the main points of interest/areas, we walked to most of them! A true 5 star experience. "
912847,47955816,2015-09-22,1610880,Angelo,"It is in a condo complex where the home owner's association approved short term rentals. If you are a price conscious traveler, try other listings in the same building before booking this apartment. If you don't have a very good reason to stay in an apartment, there are many very nice and cost effective hotel rooms as close as across the street or around the block. Chad's is priced much hire than others I saw located in the same building. It is most appropriate for four people (one couple and two singles). Maximum for comfort is three couples. Chad's apartment is nice, very close to the convention center, small and well appointed. There are no windows in the master bedroom. There are three twin size air mattresses in the closet. I'm not sure were you might use them as there doesn't appear extra space except for in an entry way and in front of the open concept living room glass door. 
In addition to the relatively high price, guests are responsible for paying an additional 15% hotel tax chad collects for Austin (read the last line of the property description to find this verbiage). Chad will contact you days before your arrival to collect the city tax. As a host, I pay may city taxes out of my net payment from AirBnb. I consider my approach a different and more client focused way of doing business. Chad ultimately reduced my tax bill and offered me money because the cable went out. 
Air conditioning is a single zone for the main level and master loft. Guests in the master will freeze while guests in downstairs bedrooms sleep more comfortably. If you shut off the air conditioner you may awake in a sweat during the night. 
In terms of hosting, Chad is a pro. You will have a difficult time finding better. He is organized and extremely responsive. The apartment is kept very clean with extra towels. His service level is second to none.
If you are just touring Austin with a choice of other cities to visit, consider NY and SF. You can stay in multi-million dollar properties at similar price points."
912847,48696346,2015-09-28,29407063,William,Great location and great place!
912847,49769288,2015-10-06,38028188,John,"A group of us stayed here for a guys weekend away and this place is awesome.  It is conveniently located to everything...6th Street and the ACL festival (which we were in town to see).  The condo was spacious, updated with all necessary amenities, and easily fit the 6 people we had.

Chad also made the process very easy with recommendations on places to go and easy ways to get from the airport.  He even stocked the refrigerator with a few beers to get us started.

I would definitely stay here again."
912847,50618863,2015-10-13,36712665,Leslie,"Great for groups! We had a great experience. 

The space was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The gated parking spot came in really handy! The place was just as described (just read the fine print about the tax not being included -- it's easy to miss). 

Chad was available for questions, was easy to talk to and incredibly helpful. He even gave us suggestions of his favorite local places. 

I would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend it. "
912847,51799226,2015-10-24,30605037,Brett,"This is one of the best locations in Austin downtown.  

Chad welcomed us personally, had the fridge stocked, and we had a drink together while he showed us the place and talked about the area.

We have rented many units in the Railyard and this one is the most well appointed, completely redone.

"
5404076,38156975,2015-07-13,35208003,Ken,"The house had a very “welcoming” feel.  We appreciated and liked the “guest logs” from the two children at the house, which was a nice touch.  We also appreciated that there were toys and other games.  The house was exactly as described on the website and was perfect for having informal gatherings.  The neighborhood is a very quiet and family-friendly neighborhood, which was perfect for us as we were there with three adults and three children.  The neighborhood was more upscale than the rest of South Austin and was very convenient to everything, including downtown."
5404076,46875524,2015-09-14,31394844,Bernie,"The place is just as described.  Very nicely kept, comfortable, and clean.  Great location for the activities that we had planned for.  I strongly recommend this place for groups."
5637928,28283141,2015-03-21,4232260,Chris,Lindsey was a gracious person and totally welcoming and easy to reach. I'd recommend staying with her anytime!
5637928,30327125,2015-04-20,30220414,Abigail,"Lindsey was an excellent hostess, engaging and energetic!  The loft itself was a throwback to my days of traveling through Europe, done up in a cute, Austin themed hostel style.  The other guests were delightful!  If you are a solo traveler, I highly recommend a stay with Lindsey. If there is a full house, you will a lot of new friends!"
5637928,30886735,2015-04-28,1866447,Ken,"Lindsey has done a fantastic job in creating a fun, unique space for travelers. It's set up sort of like a hostel with a few semi-private sleeping spaces, one bathroom, a kitchen, co-working space and TV area. There's also a washer and dryer which is great. Everything is very thoughtfully done and well decorated.

The location is unbeatable - you're one block from sixth and just steps from anything else. Austin is a very walkable city - unless you have a specific need for one, don't get a car. You're just a few blocks from the Colorado River and the running trail that goes along it. I really encourage visitors to check this out, it's amazing! 

I highly recommend Lindsey's place. It's a great home base for exploring Austin and will give solo travelers the chance to meet interesting people."
5637928,31331906,2015-05-04,30142392,Will,"Lindsey was a great and very welcoming host, and she has a lovely place. It is crazy close to everything that 6th street has to offer. I'd recommend any travelling or creative types to stay here! "
5637928,31555881,2015-05-06,6546534,Stephen,"Excellent Host, very easy and friendly. Great location. "
5637928,31820967,2015-05-10,31692197,Jenna,"We had a great experience in Austin! Lindsey was very easy to communicate with and also very welcoming. Her loft has a great set-up with nice, open communal spaces but also private spaces/bedrooms for each guest to retreat to if need be. It was nice to meet guests from all over the world! The location is perfect - right near downtown but close enough to walk or bike to the Colorado River. This loft was perfect for what we wanted on our trip to Austin."
5637928,32020490,2015-05-12,7522004,Søren,"Lindsey was a great host - super flexible and easy to communicate with. The place was incredible both for its location and the kind of social interaction it encouraged. 

I would happily stay there again and can think of no reason why anyone would not. "
5637928,33264949,2015-05-26,12984599,Judith,"I really enjoyed my stay at Lindsey's--her location is ideal--both safe and  easy walking or biking distance to everything. The other guests were friendly and interesting --although I am an oldtimer (60+)  so had many years on the others,  we enjoyed visiting together and heading to the bar to catch some of the great music Austin is renowned for.  I'll be back!!"
5637928,33665825,2015-05-31,29712106,Tim,"Nice place.   Great central location.   Excellent value for the money.  River-side park for walking and jogging within 4-5 blocks, and historic Austin (bars, live music, restaurants, etc) within 2-3 blocks.  I had the upstairs loft which was significantly warmer than the downstairs.  Also upstairs you cannot stand upright where the beds are unless you are very short.  Downstairs bunkbed rooms do not have that issue.  Thoughtful provision of some basic breakfast cereals, nuts, almond milk, etc was very nice.  Be aware that if you want to watch television you will need your own internet based source to hook into the ""smart TV"" in the back lounge area."
5637928,34247592,2015-06-06,34397206,Arlene,"The host Lindsey and Kaela did a well job representing themselves , glad I was able to meet both of them.  They invited us to places on certain events that they had going on that day.  I also received cool souvenirs from Lindsey.  I felt really welcomed.  Everything was so near,  the food trucks,  6st and ect.  I definitely see myself coming back to this location again.  It was my first time trying air bnb and couldn't ask for a better first stay.  Also,  any problem we had it was solved. Thank you!  "
5637928,35109847,2015-06-15,6186112,Armi,"This was by far the best hostel I've ever stayed in. It was clean, organized and pretty. The other guests were polite, interesting and fun to be around. Kaela, the woman who greeted me, couldn't have been more helpful.  You will not regret staying here."
5637928,35485318,2015-06-19,7005815,Mark,"Loved my stay at SWAP. Kaela and Lindsey run a welcoming community of both one-night and long-term guests, set in a modern loft in downtown Austin (ask to sleep in the treehouse). Kaela was my host/ concierge and showed me the weirdest Austin has to offer. 10/10 would recommend. The price is right, but being comfortable with a community environment is a must."
5637928,36838267,2015-07-01,35432288,Alexandra,I had a great time at he loft. Lindsey and Kayla were both welcoming and great hosts. Everything looked like the photos and he location was phenomenal. 
5637928,40093261,2015-07-28,33296817,Lizlo,"The loft was great; all of the other guests were friendly, quiet, tidy folk and it was a pleasure staying at this location. Everything was ready, and the kitchen and bath facilities were quite nice. The location was perfect -- very close to the convention center and a plethora of wonderful bars and restaurants."
5637928,42671723,2015-08-15,15143209,Jorge,Great place in the heart of Austin. Close to everything. Easy and terrific
5637928,44013683,2015-08-23,17046737,Alexandra,I found everything I was looking for here. There's a magic touch in this place where everything is kept nice and clean. Plus a touch of creativity in the decoration. I felt welcome and will definitely will stay here again. If you practice yoga Wandelust studio around the corner is a must!! 
5637928,46714707,2015-09-13,9137678,Josiah,"The location was good, right in the center of downtown, a short walk to everything. I was a little disappointed with the space; it was more cramped than I expected. I couldn't even stand up straight next to my bed. This is a good place if you're looking for a hostel-style stay. That isn't what I was looking for, so I ended up paying a little more and staying somewhere else."
5637928,47977100,2015-09-22,30915116,Avi,"The key about this place is value.  The rooms are relatively inexpensive  and the location is great.  Those were my main two focuses and they did not disappoint.  The houseguests that I did meet all seemed very nice.  However, with that said, there were a some other areas that could have been greatly improved and that is the reason for the average rating.

The rooms here feel very much like a youth hostel that you find traveling in Europe and South America.  Very small quarters with twin beds.  While I was expecting a twin bed, I was not expecting a bunk bed.  Bunk beds require you to account for your room-mate (someone I didn't know) in any additional ways especially if you get stuck with the top bunk.  Apparently, I was not supposed to have a bunk bed, but that was switched at the last minute.  What made it worse, however, was that for part of my stay there appeared to be other beds and rooms not being used.  I think when there are free rooms and beds, the host should communicate that to the guest so that the guest can relocate to a more comfortable location if he/she wishes.  Perhaps I should have just relocated myself but I figured I had been relocated to my room for a reason and I'm somewhat of a stickler for the rules and didn't want to overstep my bounds - especially if there were people planning to arrive in the middle of the night (as I did).  I only knew for a fact that the rooms were unused and empty when I woke up the next morning.

My other big issue was with the key.  I'm not familiar with the Keycafe system but that was what is used.  I registered ahead of time and received an e-mail that my key was ready.  But when I went to the location, I was told that they couldn't find the key.  After much looking, the cafe said they had two keys, but neither matched my key number, neither was in my bin number and he didn't know if both, either or neither of the keys was for my place.  He gave me one key which did not work, only to have me return back with my bags in two to get the second key which thankfully worked.  I think this is more a criticism of the KeyCafe system but it ultimately falls on the host for choosing to use it.

But if you want the youth hostel type experience with the likelihood of meeting some cool people in the perfect Austin location, then this place is for you."

This was truly such a unique and wonderful experience and I will try my hardest to put it into words but let me start of by saying you should absolutely stay here if you are looking for an adventurous way to explore the city of Austin.
First of all, the location could not be any better. It is literally a block away from all the action of 6th Street, and anywhere else is pretty much walking distance (it's also very easy and cheap to Uber anywhere else, which is usually less than a 10-15 drive). You really don't HAVE to go anywhere else if you don't want to, there are bars, restaurants, food trucks, museums, attractions, tours, outdoor activities, etc. within a 6-block radius. There's even a CVS a couple of blocks down.
Lindsey and Kaela are wonderful hosts. I did not get a chance to meet Lindsey but I had some flight delay/complications but they were extremely accommodating even last minute and late at night on a Friday. They were always available by text whether you had questions about the loft or about the city itself. I met Kaela on my last day and she hung out with all of us at the loft and chatted for a while and she's awesome!
I stayed in the bunk bed loft and was alone for the first two nights but had a really cool roommate by the third day who had also never been to Austin, so we got to explore the city together. There were a few others staying in the loft while I was there who were traveling from all over the world for different reasons and it was very cool to share our stories. I travel alone a lot, and this was really one of the best ways to meet people who do the same.
My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer. I was only there for an extended weekend to visit the city for the first time, and after my stay I plan on moving to Austin next year. The SWAP loft was warm and welcoming, they have a large calendar of events as well as recommended places to eat or see in the common area, and I felt very at home staying here. I highly recommend this listing."
5637928,52040606,2015-10-26,34363718,Kevin,"This was my first AirBNB trip and my first stay in Austin.  The SWAP Loft made me feel right at home.

Kaela was a great host and has great knowledge about Austin and places to see.  The location of this place could not be better - short walks or cheap Uber rides can get you pretty much everywhere you need to go.  And only $50 a night?!  That's way cheaper than hotels that are much further from the heart of Austin.

The Loft itself is very hostel-like, so you'll be meeting lots of interesting and good people from all over the world.  If that's not your thing, then you'd probably prefer a hotel.  

Getting the keys from Keycafe was easy for me.  Some reviews on here complained about that process, but I found it quite straightforward.  Just make an account (takes 5 minutes tops) and you'll be good to go.

The bathroom is nice and the shower gets the job done, plus having a washer and dryer to use is a huge plus!  

Overall, this was a great experience for my first time in Austin.  Kaela and Lindsay are definitely striving to make The SWAP Loft a special and unique place for everyone that stays there.

She was extremely accommodating with letting us into the apartment and coordinating leaving. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and safe-feeling. The area was perfect for going to ACL - an easy walk to Zilker and not to far to walk downtown at night, though we definitely took cabs some of the time. We didn't have time to go to the pool but looked great with a fun grill area. We would definitely stay here again - loved Austin and the AirBnB experience. "

She was extremely accommodating, very sweet, and really cool. She even had bananas, bagels, and an assortment of snacks ready for me! Her apartment was cozy, roomy, and stocked with everything I needed for a relaxing weekend. I didn't have to think--Dasha took care of it all. I will definitely rent from her again!"

He was also kind enough to provide a UT parking pass.  The condo was very comfortable and clean. It is a very nice unit with easy access to many spots in Austin.  The bed was also very comfortable.

Centrally located so you can walk to Zilker park, downtown, Town lake, or Barton Springs.   Lots of fantastic restaurants and hip bars just out the front door, Uchi and Odd Duck are a must do.  The place was spotless clean and very well decorated and modern. Lauren was the ultimate hostess and extremely accommodating to me as a guest.  Always very responsive and answered every question I had from directions, parking, weather or activities in advance so I felt extremely prepared before I even arrived.

Really close from Dowtown (About 5' by car and Uber rides everywhere), 2 big rooms, 1 nice common space and a very well equipped kitchen ! Bathroom was just a bit smaller than I imagined, but worked perfectly for the 2 of Us.
Communications and arrangements were perfects with Cecilia, she was always responding, very friendly and we met absolutely no issue in the booking and for the arrival and departure.
We appreciated very very much the nice items that Cecilia left for us : everything for a first nice breakfast (bread, eggs, juice, coffee etc ) !!!! and even some beers :) what a GREAT surprise ! after hours of travelling we just sat down on the nice exterior patio and had a beer... Very nice ! 

"
919389,33313311,2015-05-26,553696,Arturo,A beautiful retreat minutes from the action. The house is inviting and cozy with a beautiful porch just made for enjoying a cup of coffee or a cocktail. Cecila ensured we had everything we needed for our weekend getaway. 10/10 would book again.

I highly recommend staying with her and if I travel to Austin again, I will definitely be seeking her establishment again. Thank you so much, Jill! I had an amazing time!"
52874,551903,2011-09-20,133388,Laura,"5th trip to Austin and hands down the best I've had yet. I have never stayed in the SOCO area before, and I won't stay anywhere else again, thanks to both Jill and the awesome neighborhood just outside the doors.

About Jill/the apt: What an amazing place to stay! The screened sleeping porch, outdoor shower, bagels, coffee and bananas waiting for us - Jill was definitely a great host and the apartment was such a pleasure to stay in! She was so very helpful throughout out stay and her apartment is very comfortable.

About the neighborhood: We actually struggled getting to ACL every day because of how much there was to do. AMAZING shopping, food, coffee, pizza, bike rides - everything just outside the door!

I'll be back to Jill's place. Including for ACL next year, so don't even try it :)

About the neighborhood."
52874,2934126,2012-11-21,2834601,Randall,"Jill's place was a fantastic place to stay in Austin. The outdoor shower was thoroughly invigorating in November and a great way to wake up in the morning! The location is amazing, and now that I've seen Austin I think SoCo is the best area to have as a home base for tourists. Jill was a fantastic host as the other reviews have already stated, providing us with everything from activity recommendations to a kitchen stocked with necessities like coffee, tea, oatmeal, fruit, bottled water, beer and wine!"
52874,3812782,2013-03-18,3253797,Freya,"Having Jill's studio as a base for a calm SXSW (in the company of my 4 year old) was just perfect. The space is very charming and has everything you might need: a kitchenette, a lovely bathroom with a bath tub and of course the outdoors shower that we loved! Sleeping out on the screen porch was great - now one of my goals in life is to live somewhere where i can sleep on a screen porch and listen to the birds waking up in the morning!! Beautiful!
Jill provided stuff in the fridge for us: milk, bagels, juice, beer etc. - so sweet and thoughtful and extremely helpful when we woke up the first morning when we had gotten in from europe really late the previous night. She and her kids also provided fresh towels and bed linen from time to time. They were very hospitable and had loads of tips for the area and Austin in general.
My son thoroughly enjoyed the Big Stacy pool which is just a short stroll from Jill's place - a year-round free public swimming pool which is really well taken care of. And in general we loved the neighborhood very much - SoCo is the place to be in Austin it seems! Good restaurants and fun shopping right around the corner and still the house feels like a calm oasis. Plus it's quite close to downtown. 
So to sum it up: we loved it here and would not hesitate to visit again. And I'd definitely recommend staying here to anyone... beats staying at a hotel by many, many miles!

52874,8080239,2013-10-15,782559,Rianne,"My sister and I had an incredible time in Austin staying at Jill's lovely place. Jill and her kids were extremely accommodating and ensured we were well taken care of. We were in town for the Austin City Limits festival and loved every minute of it despite the unfortunate weather conditions. Jill was even able to drop us off at the festival on one of the days. My sister and I are huge foodies and Jill's recommendations did not disappoint (Torchy's Tacos, Magnolia Cafe, Bouldin Creek Cafe)! Where do I even begin on Jill's place...it was the perfect place for a getaway. I fell in love with the screen porch and definitely want one in my future home. I also loved the outdoor shower, it was such a liberating experience! Her place had everything we needed: beds, fresh linens, towels, kitchen, bathroom, shower, refrigerator, and WiFi. She even graciously provided some food and drinks and in the fridge! Another plus was her home's location; it was walking distance to SoCo and SoFi. Downtown also wasn't far away which made for a nice stroll. I highly recommend Jill's place!! This was an experience I will never forget...from staying on the screen porch, to taking the pedicabs, dancing at the festival in relentless rain, scouring the city for pop up shows when ACL was canceled on Sunday, and delicious food of course! Thanks so much Jill, Larisa, and Sergey for hosting us! I hope to be back soon =) -Rianne"
52874,10918063,2014-03-13,1732117,Maude,"Jill is an amazingly kind host! In the chaos of SXSW she even offered to drives us places, set everything up perfect, left us a bottle of wine, supplied an extra heater on a cold night, and made sure everything went off without a hitch. In nice weather the outdoor porch is a dream and the outdoor shower was the perfect thing to wake us up in the morning. Beds were comfy and kitchen had everything you needed! On the day that it rained she left us umbrellas. It was a great stay!"
52874,11134490,2014-03-22,11592176,Daniel,Jill's little studio is great. Has everything you need in cool SoCo neighborhood. She was totally cool and professional. Highly recommend! :)

possession's and clutter it was difficult to relax. The bedroom does have two dressers but only one empty drawer. Even the space under the bed is used for owner's storage. Nice bath tub and shower but old soap shampoo left from owner 
 or previous guest. Shelves and cabinet full of stuff. Sheets and towels circa 1980. Kitchen area not very clean or functional. Overall the studio did not feel guest ready. Fortunately the weather was warm and we could use the screen porch."
52874,20901967,2014-10-07,3600128,Ben,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Jill's home during our visit to Austin this fall. Jill was a fantastic host. First off - Her home was even more impressive than the listing described. It's nestled in a quiet little area right off Congress Ave. It's easily walkable to all the SoCo attractions and not too far of a walk to downtown or Zilker Park/Barton Springs, either. Her outdoor screen porch is a wonderful place to relax (and even sleep). And the indoor accommodations provided all the comforts of home and then some (i.e. awesome outdoor shower!!!!). Upon arrival, Jill left adequate signage to spot the place and find our way inside. Once inside, we discovered that she had not only left us generous provisions for our travels, but detailed tips for navigating the area, too. Jill was staying downstairs during our visit, but we definitely felt like we had our privacy. We interacted with her sporadically throughout our visit as we came and went. She and her family are wonderful people. You will enjoy interacting with them if you have the opportunity. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay at Jill's again during a future visit to Austin."
52874,21210627,2014-10-13,20650568,Sarah,"Jill is an amazing host! She is very welcoming. My best friend and I stayed there for ACL and she had nice tips for us as well as beer/wine/snacks in fridge and coffee as well. 

Her place is adorable and full of character! There is a screened in porch/bedroom area where we slept the first night. AMAZING! Also, the outdoor shower is really cool. 

Can't wait to go back:))"
52874,22086294,2014-10-29,8073675,Stephen,"A really fantastic experience in a super area of South Austin. Highly recommended.

Jill was a really terrific host, very welcoming and great to deal with when arranging and then even better to meet in person. 

Tremendous shops, bars, clubs and resturants all within a few minutes' walk and close to Downtown Austin too. 

A really cool neighbourhood that's great to explore...some very nice trees!

Thanks so much, Jill, I really, really enjoyed meeting you ...maybe even see you again before I leave town. 

Very best wishes to you and the children.

52874,28409388,2015-03-23,5417566,Mikko,"Jill's apartment was just perfect to stay during the super busy days of SXSW. House is on a quiet street so you can escape the crazyness of the festival but still you're only few streets away from the South Congress which takes you downtown in a moment. Also very good restaurants and bars just nearby the house! 

Jill and her family were so nice and welcoming and it was a pleasure to arrive the the apartment after the super long flight from Europe. With your own entrance you have all the privacy you need. I also found the outdoor shower so refreshing every morning! Shower under the Texas sun, just perfect! And if the weather is good you have option also to sleep on the outside terrace...what could be better?! 

I can highly recommend Jill's place for everybody!"
52874,50955366,2015-10-16,248933,Ron,"Jill is a wonderful host who went out of her way to make us comfortable.  There are many benefits to staying at Jill's: one has close access to Soco's nightlife, while tucked away in a quiet retreat surrounded by trees.  Some might be challenged by aspects of the studio, such as the narrow, steep staircase to its entrance, minimal kitchen, or older bed but there's lots to enjoy about it. One star-out was the outdoor shower.   All in all, a very good experience."
960435,11522072,2014-04-06,13611941,Shannon,I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay.  I would not hesitate to recommend staying here and will be sure to book this room for my next trip to Austin! Carol was an excellent host. Communication with Carol was easy and prompt and everything went smoothly.  I look forward to my next stay!

The neighborhood is very quiet & the room Carol provided was beautiful & clean. There were fresh towels & linens, wifi worked without any issues & there was a television with directv cable. Though we were only in the room to sleep & shower we couldn't of asked for a better situation. The bathroom, by the way, is a beauty in itself. Carol responded to texts quickly & made sure to check in on us via text occasionally to make sure we didn't need anything which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this location & look forward to using it again next year for sxsw. "

I've known Carol approximately 7+ years. We met as coworkers, which then blossomed into a beautiful friendship. Carol has a lovely home in Austin. The instant you walk into her home, you feel layers of stress dissolve. Calm and tranquility surround her and her home. You'll be minutes away from Downtown Austin; then you can retire to your own private gem to rest and recharge. Carol will provide you with a warm welcome to Austin, TX!

Having my own private entrance to the room was perfect, as I was able to come and go at all hours without feeling like I was waking up the rest of the house. And the accomodations were all very cool with a lot of custom-built shelves and stuff around the house, and a top-notch, memory foam bed.

My hosts made me feel very welcome; offered me anything in the fridge, a little Scotch they had gotten at a party, and as much privacy or socialization as I wanted. And they were just cool, good folks!

The neighborhood is a pretty typical suburban 70's ranch-style house neighborhood. It was very quiet with lots of big, shady trees. And the cool part was that the house was renovated in a very interesting way that gave it a very modern feel on the inside.

It honestly felt like I had my very own little awesome hotel room. I would definitely stay there again!"
8283945,48613037,2015-09-27,2277774,Lauren,"Sarah, a housemate of Amy's, hosted my boyfriend and I during our stay in Austin. We loved her home and her hospitality. She left out many thoughtful things for us to use while there such as reusable grocery bags and breakfast items. She really went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their house is beautifully decorated, the bed is very comfortable, and the shower in the private bathroom has a fantastic rain shower head."
730668,2610263,2012-10-14,3725323,Sara,"Brady and his roommate were so kind and friendly! Their apartment is in a wonderful location and is super clean, too! I definitely recommend this place!!!"
6911595,36827965,2015-07-01,11054138,Tomas,"This was one of my best Airbnb Experience. Mat and his girlfriend are both nice and good people. The place can't be more comfortable, and the cat is really friendly as shown in the description. Mathieu is probably your best Austin guide, he knows exactly where every place is. He was even very kind to offer me rides to downtown when he was available, and we spent some time talking just about anything. Both hosts are very easy to talk to and be around with. Getting in and out of downtown is no problem at all, you can take the 17 bus just 5 minutes away, or an Uber or taxi. Mathieu also has a bike which makes it very convenient to move around the city. If you wanna eat got food the hosts have really good suggestions, I would recommend Saten which is just around the neighborhood and has the best vegetarian offers.I enjoyed my stay here and will be back 100% sure."
6911595,38765932,2015-07-18,37003919,Scott,"Mathieu and his girlfriend were very welcoming and relaxed. They were happy to chat over a couple of glasses of wine. 

The house is exactly as pictured and extremely clean. The neighbourhood is quiet and friendly but you can't just stroll into town which is a drawback. However, Mathieu has bikes which you can use freely.

His knowledge of Austin is extensive so it is worth sitting down and chatting about what you want to do. 

I would recommend his listing of you are visiting Austin. "
6911595,39327328,2015-07-22,1280071,Alexis,Lovely host.  Lovely place.  Lovely stay. 
6911595,39981606,2015-07-27,37351369,Laura,"Mathieu was an excellent host and his home was even more beautiful in person. We felt very comfortable and welcomed. We loved the multiple outdoor spaces (especially the hammock). He even invited us to a neighborhood summer party and had many great venue and food recommendations. This was our first airbnb stay, and I'm afraid the bar is set very high."
6911595,40362901,2015-07-30,4274669,Charles,"It was a real pleasure meeting and staying with Mathieu.  The listing was just as described, and he really took the time to make me feel welcome, hang out, and make sure I knew where to go for dinner, breakfast, etc."
6911595,43784755,2015-08-22,16551270,Amy,"Mathieu is the best host you could ever find in Austin, I promise. He is very easy going and flexible host who is welcoming and knowledgable about the town. He is able and willing to give you any recommendation for dining or activity that are quite amazing. His house is very clean and beautiful just as it's pictured. Their cat is so lovely and friendly. This truly is the best Airbnb experience you could ever have and you will not disappoint. There are many beautiful spots in Austin, but it will be hard to beat this one with the amazing host and perfect decor. "
6911595,45016855,2015-08-30,40955610,Adrian,"Super stylish, modern house, filled with iconic 1950s furniture. I had my own bathroom, which was really nice. Both the bedroom and the bathroom were very clean. 
Mathieu and his girlfriend were both super helpful and easygoing; I stayed here before finding my own apartment, and I got a ton of tips on how to start my new life here! "
6911595,45132487,2015-08-31,22438395,Iztza,"El lugar es muy lindo y tranquilo. Mathieu es realmente muy amable, nos quedamos muy poco tiempo, el cual nos sentimos como con amigos."
6911595,46592344,2015-09-12,20488737,Victoriya,I really enjoyed my stay at Mathieu's beautiful house! It's a new house where everything was neat and clean. Him and his girlfriend were very nice and helpful with some advices about the restaurants and places to visit in Austin. Also they have beautiful cat which is really friendly. I'm glad that I picked this house!! 
6911595,47664253,2015-09-21,33147890,Jesus,"Our first Airbnb couldn't have been better. Mathieu and and his grilfrind, Giselle, made us feel very welcome. They were great hosts. We could come and go as we liked and they gave us great tips on what to do and where to go. The house itself is magnificent. Great spaces and lighting and the decoration was superb. My wife and I got some really good ideas for when we build our home.

We had stayed at hotels during our previous trips to Austin but this time we got a whole new perspective and vibe of the city. 

Mathieu and Giselle are excellent people and easy to talk to. We got to exchange travel tips and had some really nice conversations over a couple of beers."
6911595,48696512,2015-09-28,37604004,Evelyn,"Mathieu was great and the apartment was gorgeous. Very clean, organized, and well priced. Would definitely stay again!"
6911595,49880247,2015-10-07,29299064,Scott,"Mathieu is a very polite and accommodating host. He really made us feel welcome in his home, which meant a lot to us because this was the first time we have rented just a room instead of the whole place. I appreciate Mathieu taking a genuine interest in us, and he had many recommendations of places to go and things to see while we were in Austin. Also, Mathieu has an orange cat that is super cute and friendly. She is primarily an outdoor cat so you don't have to worry about fur on any of the furniture."
6911595,50437789,2015-10-12,25264628,Tevyn,The house was amazing! Very clean and well kept. Mathieu was really nice and an excellent host. He knew the city really well and had great recommendations for various activities. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anyone who is visiting Austin. 
6911595,52044949,2015-10-26,17740066,Joy,"My husband and I stayed at Mathieu and Jaselle's house while we enjoyed a long weekend in Austin.  Although we weren't at the house much, the listing was just as described.  The neighborhood was quiet and the room and bathroom were clean.  The cat, Mason, was so friendly!  We didn't rent a car but only spent about $12 to get downtown using Lyft.  We would definitely recommend staying here.  "
1914305,49536025,2015-10-04,21741913,Lauren,"We had a wonderful stay with Sarah and Dameon (and Oliver and Suzuki, their cats)! Our hosts were very gracious, attentive and quick to provide helpful recommendations about the neighborhood. Loved spending our mornings on the great porch in the wonderful backyard, too! "
2526880,20250928,2014-09-26,20125178,Omar,Jean's place was clean and quiet.
2526880,46380901,2015-09-10,38060749,Alicia,"Jean was a considerate and attentive host.  She took me to the store, twice, and to the airport at 4am on my final day.  She also invited me along for swimming and dancing excursions -- which made me feel warmly welcomed, even though I forwent on the fun.

This is not to say that the lodging was perfect, but it got the most important things right.  For example, during my stay the home was not spotlessly clean, and not everything ran smoothly (e.g., some light bulbs went out); however, the light bulbs were changed and a cleaning lady did come.  More importantly, Jean encouraged me to contact her immediately with any complaints or queries.  

So I left feeling that my primary needs had been met: I had affordable accommodation with a friendly, safe atmosphere.  The house is located in a gentrifying area of town, and although I didn't prefer to walk around the neighborhood alone after dark, I felt completely comfortable during the daytime.  Plus, the 'house culture' was so friendly and safe that I found myself in long conversations with other guests and with Jean -- as well as sharing meals and going around Austin together.  I had the freedom to use the kitchen and laundry facilities as desired, and my privacy was respected during the many hours I spent in my room, working.  Suffice it to say, for me, staying here was a very good experience."
8410322,48368312,2015-09-25,23418225,Jessica,"Sarah was very welcoming! She was flexible with check in/out and truly accommodating. We felt so welcome in her home. She took the time to meet with us and arranged for our check out with a friend, as she would be out of town. We had a great time!"
8410322,50541186,2015-10-12,45317921,Katie,"Sarah was very nice and welcoming from the start! She kept in contact with me before the trip and provided me with a list of things I needed to know and check-out information to make sure that we were all on the same page. 

The listing description was very accurate; the studio apartment was very cute, clean and cozy. Though me and my guests did not spend much time in the apartment, there were several amenities there to make us feel welcome and right at home. It comfortably slept me and three other guests.

The neighborhood was mostly comprised of younger adults and was quiet, clean and felt very safe. We were also a short cab and Uber ride away from downtown, which made transportation to Sixth Street and the Austin City Limits festival very easy. 

Also, I have to give Sarah props for being understanding and forgiving when I accidentally broke her full length mirror in my sleep (Word of advice: never prop up a full length mirror on top of a nightstand! Stupid move on my part). I promptly refunded her for the cost of damages, but I am very grateful that she was understanding about the situation. I highly recommend booking with Sarah!"
2695474,11576945,2014-04-07,13920541,Kristin,"As my first host, Isaiah gave me a ton of confidence in airbnb and I would absolutely stay with him again. I wanted a place near kayaking and biking/running trails and he was prompt and thorough with his answers and suggestions from beginning to end. I don't know Austin well but felt super confident with his recommendations and had a great time. 

And! He left a welcome home note with a ghirardelli chocolate and all the info I could want or need. Such a sweet thing to walk in and see. :)

I chose his place because I liked the location -- quiet but nearby great restaurants, including an amazing coffeeshop next door, and Town Lake Trails. I also loved the pictures and the decor was even better in person. Modern but warm, everything felt like home. The bed is big and exceptionally comfortable with a luxurious sateen comforter. Easily hotel grade and a pleasant surprise. The water pressure in the shower wasn't the strongest but the temperature was AMAZING. I think he commutes between cities and the entire apartment reflects that -- it's so neat and tidy!

The complex itself is adorable, well maintained with a retro design. There's plenty of parking and a nice-looking pool and gym. 

I obviously can't recommend Isaiah enough. I gave him about four hours' notice that I was coming in and he had everything perfectly ready for me. Enjoy your stay!"
2695474,12039809,2014-04-21,1998747,Diego,"Needed a place to stay in Austin for the Easter weekend. Found this listing and an hour or two later we were unpacking. Very easy to find, very clean, perfect spot! "

Isaiah was a very responsive host and I would absolutely stay here again."
2695474,13389299,2014-05-26,14979894,Sofia,"Isaiah's place is great, very clean, looks even better than in the pictures. The location is good, close to downtown, close to grocery stores, restaurants, all you need. I would definitely book it again, communication was perfect, I had trouble finding the place and he helped me out immediately, even though it was pretty late.

"
2695474,13594317,2014-05-31,4527033,Karli,"Isaiah accommodated me on short notice and was very helpful and communicative throughout. His place is really well designed and his bed is unbelievably comfy, I was sad when I returned home today to my bed! Having a pool right outside of our door was great for the heat. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking to have a bit of privacy but also close enough to enjoy downtown and South Congress."
2695474,14005061,2014-06-09,12617915,Keith,"Apartment was as advertised - it had everything I needed for a very long active weekend of X Games in Austin. Very close to I35 and accessible for doing ""stuff"" in Austin. Isaiah communicated clearly and made sure things were ready for a very late arrival.    "
2695474,15244729,2014-07-05,3532262,Rachel,"Isaiah was able to accommodate us on very short notice! Thanks Isaiah!!

We live in Austin but were getting some work done on our house while we were out of town. Right before we came back to town we were told that we could not walk on our floors for a few additional days! Ouch! With nowhere to go I turned to Airbnb and found Isaiah's listing.

The apartment is lovely and fit our needs perfectly! The pool area is relaxing and great for hot Texas days! The apartment was clean and well appointed with towels and other necessities. The bed was very comfortable!

Isaiah responded to inquires very quickly and was very responsive to our needs.

Isaiah's apartment is right next to the Cherrywood Coffee house which is one of our favorite places to eat in Austin. Great coffee! Excellent burgers and tacos."
2695474,15420005,2014-07-08,16972490,Perry,"The apartment was good but it could have been cleaner. There was no dishwasher detergent, no stopper for the kitchen sink. 

Great easy access location."

Isaiah was also really responsive and helpful when needed. The only downside was that downtown was a little to fat away, though a bus around the corner can take you there. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend people to stay there while visiting Austin. "
2695474,17918295,2014-08-18,20068848,Brandon,"Our experience with Isaiah was excellent from start to finish! He was very quick at responding to any question I had before we arrived in Austin, and responded the entire weekend to any questions I had. The apartment was excellent as well. Very clean, and homey, and all the amenities we would need. Not to mention, one of the most comfortable beds EVER! Overall a great experience, and will def stay here again when I am back in Austin!"

It's also super convenient to getting anywhere else in Austin.  His apartment was super comfortable-a great place to stay.  I would definitely stay again!  
2695474,20837254,2014-10-06,8121150,Andre,"Great location. Easy access to downtown, UT and Hyde Park.  Fast WiFi, movies and shows.  Better for couple than group of friends.  "

It was a great location close to the coffee shop, fiesta and natures treasures! Also the decor was appreciated, the Buddha statue and the vegan guide haha. I would definitely recommend renting from Isaiah as he is accommodating and upbeat and his home is fabulous! "
2695474,21964035,2014-10-27,21807183,Eric,"Our stay in Austin was fantastic due in part to having such an awesome place to stay and how easy Isaiah made our stay.  The apartment is exactly as described, cozy, and very tastefully decorated.  Getting to and from downtown was easy.  A 10 minute drive or an $11 cab ride will get you to all the cool spots in Austin.  Highly recommend, definitely would stay here again!"
2695474,23088669,2014-11-22,8686399,Kathryn,"I cannot thank Isaiah enough for how accommodating he was for my family. He was always available for questions & was very flexible with arrival & departure times, which was a lifesaver for us. He has anything & everything on TV & an extra comfortable bed. Perfect location with great coffee next door & some of Austin's best restaurants right in the hood. "

I had friends coming in from out of town and he was very flexible with check-in/check-out times to accommodate their flights. The apartment was bigger than we expected. We easily fit three people comfortably.  Perfect way to spend a weekend in Austin.
2695474,24373745,2014-12-27,15735335,Dan,"The apartment was very well located for my needs,  with plenty of stores within walking distance, and in a safe, clean neighborhood.  Checkin and check out was very quick and
Convenient.  Unfortunately I picked one of The few weekends in austin with weather below 40 degrees,  so I didn't get to use the pool,  which looked fabulous.  Isaiah was a pleasant host,  with quick and friendly communication.   The only downside(which wasn't a huge deal) is that the pictures didn't provide a clear depiction of the apartment,  which had very little sunlight and was a bit dated.   All said,  It was a very good experience,  and a good deal."
2695474,25416558,2015-01-15,25105114,Tamara,"We love the location of this place. It was near my work, next to a coffee shop and a grocery store. Its close to UT and downtown and we were able to walk to many wonderful restaurants. Wonderful neighborhood. We stayed about 10 days and were very satisfied. Although I never saw Isaiah, everything was as he promised and we were in touch  through out our stay. Everything was very smooth and pleasant. I would recommend this place to anyone. "

2695474,26695371,2015-02-17,26558543,Katie,Great experience! The post is very accurate and the apartment was a good home base.  We rented bikes so it was easier to get around town for the weekend. Isaiah was super helpful and easy to get a hold of if anything came up throughout the weekend.

This is a great location, easy access to downtown and UT area.  HIs king-sized bed is a beauty, so comfortable.  An international supermarket next door topped off our experience.  I'd stay again in a heartbeat!"

The apartment building feels really safe and it's so easy to park (lots of spots available in the parking lot). Isaiah was really helpful leading up to the trip and was really fast at responding to emails. The Apple TV was nice and easy to use. There is also a really nice pool available. The apartment complex kind of feels like a cool, metro motel--with the pool in the middle.  

We did have a car and ended up driving everywhere so I can't comment on how many things are walking distance. It was a pretty long walk to where we wanted to go downtown so we would just drive or uber. Would highly recommend this place!"

Location was excellent allowing us to take a easy $7.00 Lyft ride into the 6th St. historical district. Isaiah himself was very helpful and polite and easy to get a hold of.

It is just a few minutes drive away from most areas of the city. overall, perfect place to stay.
Thanks Isaiah! "
2695474,35008905,2015-06-14,34617005,April,This apartment met our needs for our trip to Austin. It's located close to downtown and felt like a safe area. The apartment was decorated nice & the bed was very comfortable. The apartment complex itself is older with some wear and tear on the walls and doors. Isaiah had all the items a hotel would have plus more. Overall it was a positive first airbnb experience. 
2695474,35380109,2015-06-18,2393015,Cathy,We had a great stay at Isaiah's place. The pool is clean and refreshing. The bed was the most comfortable one I have ever slept in. We had a lot of rain so we had a marathon watching of Orange is the New Black. This location is convenient to everything!
2695474,37232179,2015-07-05,36549704,Laura,My girlfriends and I decided to go to Austin for a weekend getaway and Isaiah provided the perfect place to stay! We were very iffy about renting out a place we've never seen but it exceeded all of our expectations! It's in a great location in the middle of Austin and has everything you could need from a giant comfortable bed and couches to apple tv and plenty of space! We loved our stay there and definately recommend it to anyone looking to spend time in the area!
2695474,38029098,2015-07-12,28243113,Ailen,"The apartment was clean, equipped, and comfortable for all 3 of us. The couch is large and the bed was extremely comfortable. Thanks for letting us share your home and being attentive to all of my text messages!!"
2695474,39812467,2015-07-26,37091544,Wulan,Really nice place.. Good location.. Only short uber ride from Downtown.. Very comfy bed..
2695474,40153732,2015-07-28,8142858,Annie,"We had a nice comfortable stay at Isaiah's place. Soft, warm bed, a friendly neighbor cat, and about 15 mins from all the fun parts of Austin. Great place - would stay again."
2695474,40820582,2015-08-02,28068940,Andrea,"Isaiah's place was wonderful! The apartment was spacious, well decorated, and the bed and couch were super comfortable. The location was  perfect for visiting the Magnolia area and Bass Concert Hall. Very easy to get to from I-35. The pool area looked awesome as well, even though we didn't use it. Isaiah was super responsive and easy to work with. I would definitely stay here again! Great space for 3 people! The apple tv was also a plus!"
2695474,41637310,2015-08-08,14443129,Jena,"Isaiah was amazing! the house was furnished with style and functionality, clean, comfortable and really made my first time in austin the most memorable! kudos for having a spare charger!"
2695474,43822415,2015-08-22,2140245,Nabeel,"Isaiah's place was one of the best that I and my wife have stayed in through Airbnb. We found the apartment exactly as advertised: clean, welcoming and comfortable. Isaiah kept in touch with us which made check in/check out hassle free. The location is a plus too with Thunderbird coffee and East End cafe a few blocks away and a grocery store located at a walking distance. "
2695474,48606975,2015-09-27,19820902,Rocky,"Isaiah was a cool dude. No hassle very helpful and responsive. Place was tidy and totally as expected. Located close to the bass center where I was attending a concert. My girl and I enjoyed the coffee shop right next door and there is also a food mart for beer and wine and anacks if need be within a 5 min walk. Close enough to UT to attend a game or visit friends that live there by uber or short drive. About 10-15 minutes away from downtown. Very quiet complex. Although people were outside on Saturday at the pool area that could be heard from the living room till pretty late, but once we were in the bedroom weren't heard since the bedroom is further in the back of the apt. Bed was comfy a/c worked great. Shower worked great plenty of towels in the bathroom and a neat soap and shampoo dispenser in the shower. Wifi was a little slow but fine for surfing. Brought my own Apple TV box and plugged in with his cords and it worked like a charm.  All in all a decent apt and good experience overall which is good because it was my girls first Airbnb trip.  Would definitely book again.  If this place was closer to downtown it would be even better but it would probly be 3x as much. "
2695474,49643031,2015-10-05,8587755,Cindy,"Isaiah was great - very responsive, let us check-in early, and was around if we had any questions or concerns. His place was exactly as it's pictured - clean, comfortable, and exactly what we needed as a home base throughout our stay. While we didn't take advantage, having access to the pool and gym were also very appreciated. "
2695474,52643359,2015-10-31,43101288,Crystal,Great location and decor. Comfortable bed. Everything I expected and more. Host was friendly and flexible!
8732171,50719965,2015-10-13,43381991,Jamie,"Robbie was a great host and flexible on arrival and departure times. His house is conveniently located a few miles from downtown, ACL (Zilker Park), etc., on a nice quiet street near the lake and other amenities. Thanks again for the hospitality!"
8732171,50820391,2015-10-14,14452686,Jacob,"Rob was very accommodating and polite. Had everything ready when we arrived. The neighborhood had a lot of small, outdoor places to eat and drink within walking distance. It also was not a far drive to the main streets of Austin either."
8732171,52126407,2015-10-26,4941095,Rachel,"Great host, great stay! Robbie was very proactive in communicating with me leading up to our stay and made sure we had all necessary information to make the process smooth. The house was clean and comfortable, and the location was great!"
325889,1000308,2012-03-14,1831914,Adina,Abbie and Brian were amazing hosts...they accomodated our group for a last minute booking right before SXSW.  The house itself is full of charm and whimsy...and we enjoyed every minute of our time in their home.  The kitchen is modern and opens into a comfortable living room.  We used every bedroom and had plenty of privacy.  I would absolutely recommend their property and hope to stay in their home again for SXSW 2013!
3925301,20697681,2014-10-04,20390788,Silvio,"I stayed at Jean's house for about a month. 
The room was clean and the house is in good condition. It was a pleasure enjoy the couch in the living room. Reaching downtown or supermarkets is really manageble by bus or bike (if you don't have a car), I preferred the first option (most of the times).
Jean is both a very good host and a very nice person, and (plus) she takes care of her guests. During my period at her house she helped me with some problems and questions that may arise when you are  for the first time in the U.S.
I surely recommend  Jean's place."
3925301,22572208,2014-11-09,2059055,Nell,"We had a great, quick stay at Jean's lovely home. Clean, comfortable, and just a short cab ride from great bars and restaurants."
3925301,25844061,2015-01-27,1622600,Chris,"I stayed a month and it fit what I was looking for. Jean was a ""extra mile"" kind of host. The room was a big enough to have a desk to work on. The kitchen being downstairs meant people had their own space when cooking. There are a total of four rooms. Good for Grad students. You gotta know there's some traffic noise being near a big street, but just use ear plugs as I did."
3925301,27195595,2015-02-28,21520564,Fulvio,"Jean foi uma anfitriã bastante prática e objetiva. Sua casa tem uma boa estrutura. O quarto é agradável e grande. Enfim, o local é uma boa opção para ficar em Austin."
3925301,28925719,2015-04-01,15673143,Nick,"Jean's place is great! Clean room, comfortable bed and nice living space. Her house is an easy bike ride to downtown and really close to bus stops that will takr you anywhere. Jean is a great host who spends time thinking of ways to make her guests stay more enjoyable."
3925301,29924303,2015-04-14,26760753,Katie,"Jean was such a wonderful host. She showed me around (even let me clean off in her private shower when I showed up early!), and I will agree with another reviewer that she is an ""extra-mile"" kind of host. I felt very taken care of. She even rented her personal bike to me. The room is great, everything was very clean and comfortable, and the location is great -- close to the theatre where I was working (Ground Floor Theatre for Fusebox Festival), and about a 10-15 min bike ride downtown. Car2Go cars were almost always in the area, and Uber had an easy time finding the place. I would absolutely stay at Jean's place again and will absolutely recommend it to friends!"
3925301,30151116,2015-04-18,15379799,Joe,Jean was a wonderful host and made the whole process from check-in to check-out very easy and stress free. Definitely a great value for those looking for hotel alternatives in Austin.
3925301,30269799,2015-04-19,30737570,Valigar,Staying here was easy and comfortable! The house was very clean and room was very clean as well. The distance to downtown and location was super easy. I really recommend this place and would stay here again! Thank you Jean! :)
3925301,30842539,2015-04-27,28295160,Frederick,"Comfortable bed, close to downtown.  Place was clean.  Make sure you bring some sort of noise-cancelling device or noise generator as traffic can be loud, especially on weekends."
3925301,31156391,2015-05-02,31297643,Reagan,"Very accommodating host, needed a place to stay last minute and Jean threw everything together very clean and very quiet. I actually only slept there so never met anyone, but it was easy finding the location and easy directions to get in/out. Close to UT, only about 5 min drive and 10 min drive to SoCo for good food and shopping. Thanks jean!"
3925301,33662406,2015-05-31,11765677,Dana,"Jean was a very friendly and helpful host. The house is super comfortable; the kitchen is full of gadgets, the beds are large and cozy with nice pillows. 
Definitely ideal for someone without a car- the house is less than a block away from buses going to the airport and downtown. Jean also has bikes that can be rented out.
Overall just a great experience, highly reccomend!"
3925301,42674004,2015-08-15,33770336,John,Solid for my first experience with AirBnB. I would recommend Jean's place and her hospitality. 
7771763,51124395,2015-10-18,39043615,Gregory,"Greg was a fantastic host! I highly recommend staying at any of his places. He was extremely accommodating. He went above and beyond what was expected. He was super quick to responding to any questions that came up during my stay. 

The apartment I booked at the ""Walk to Rainy St.."" was in a great location. The apartment had everything I needed. It was very clean and well taken care of. It was a pleasure staying here and meeting Greg.

I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to stay in Austin!"
379988,1645713,2012-07-06,2783986,Brian,Jenn was an awesome host!  Her house is beautiful and it is easy to get to downtown Austin.  she has a great backyard to hang out  in and the room is very comfortable.  Her decorating and artistic style fit the Austin area perfectly!   I highly recommend Jenn and her house!
379988,1758124,2012-07-20,2956392,Jake,"Staying with Jennifer was such a great experience, she was so unbelievably sweet and helpful and gave us some great recommendations that I know we never would have found on our own. Her house was super clean and I loved the colors everywhere. Exactly as pictured. If I'm ever in Austin again, I would absolutely stay with Jennifer again!"
379988,1801633,2012-07-25,1624185,Hayley,"Jen was very welcoming and helpful during our stay. She gave us great advice about things to do and places to eat in Austin, and made us feel right at home. The room we stayed in was quiet and clean, with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in! Jen is a friendly and easygoing host, who gave us our own space but was always open to questions or just a chat. We would definitely stay with Jen if we were in Austin again."
379988,1817000,2012-07-27,2393152,Gisberg,"Jennifer was very kind. She waited for me until late and was very welcoming. The room is very nice, very comfortable. I would stay again for sure. Highly recommend her place"
379988,1864910,2012-08-01,2002144,Kim,"Jennifer is an amazing host. She is pleasant, informative and very helpful. While we were in Austin it was very hot. Seeing the degrees well into triple digits, Jennifer offered to give us a ride to a few places in order to keep us out of the heat. Her place is perfectly placed in Austin. The bus station is about a ten minute walk away and it heads directly into the downtown area without needing to transfer. Her room is great. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Overall, the stay was fantastic and when I head back to Austin I will look into staying here again. Thank you Jen. "
379988,2021573,2012-08-18,3092368,Becky,"Wow! What a great stay we had in Austin. Jen was so welcoming and full of info about Austin. Her place is close to just about anywhere you'd want to see in a hip and happening city. Thanks, Jen!"
379988,2202756,2012-09-04,3116800,Sarah,"The most fun that we have had with the AirBNB service. Her property is fantastic, and is pretty much custom made for AirBNB. The room is clean and uncluttered and the bed is super comfortable. Jen is the perfect host, going out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and happy. She gave us great advice about the Austin that she loves. We left feeling like we had made a new friend. No question about where to stay in Austin. Jen is it!"
379988,2234301,2012-09-08,1819684,Anna,"Jennifer was a really good host, friendly and her home is exactly as the photos described. Jennifer responds pretty quickly which made my search for a place in Austin a smooth transition. She has an adorable friendly puppy and a cat.  "
379988,2244807,2012-09-09,2102301,Kacie,"Jennifer was a great host! My boyfriend and I are driving cross country and we had a short stay in Austin. We have two kitties and originally were staying in a motel because we weren't sure there would be many options for staying at someone's home with pets. Yet, the last night the rates at the motel spiked and we were able to find Jen's home. She was very accommodating to both us and our kitties. Also, we woke up to some yummy muffins, delicious coffee, and great conversation! Really a great experience :)"
379988,2315853,2012-09-17,2972316,Rich,"Great room, friendly host, clean and comfortable. Good AC!"

379988,2366976,2012-09-21,3597908,Nayeli,"Jennifer's place was my first experience through airbnb and she made it super easy and enjoyable. She was quick to respond to my messages and was super friendly once I was there.  I had the chance to hang out with her and her dog for a few minutes and they both made me feel welcomed.  Her place is cute and clean and in a convenient location.  I would definitely recommend staying with Jen, either in the room with a queen or the little cottage in the back that she is fixing up for guests.  Great stay all around!"
379988,2425066,2012-09-26,3638640,Trent,"Jen's place was fantastic! 

As stated in the description, it is conveniently close to downtown and so many great Austin hangouts. Barton Springs, great food trucks and live music venues.

Jen showed me around a few of her favourite little food truck haunts and they did not disappoint!

The house is clean and bright, and secure which is a big factor for me when travelling. Dmitri (the dog) and Ponny (the cat) are both super friendly and fun to have around!

Coffee was ready to go every morning and I was even lucky enough to sample Jen's amazing blueberry muffins!

I would highly recommend Jen's place, and would love to get back there on my next visit to Austin.

What an amazing city!!!"

The place was exactly as advertised & we really enjoyed the peace and quiet of a yard (and dog!!) :) Even though we didn't have a car, we were able to get easily to downtown using bus & taxis. Jen & her boyfriend even gave us a ride to the bus stop! A wonderful stay & hope to stay here again next time we're in town!!"

379988,2569370,2012-10-09,3455616,Justin,"Jennifer was the best, and I got a nice nick name - Amsterdam :) 
The place was really quite, and in a good location in town, just a short drive some south congress. Jennifer even gave us a lift into town one night so we could go dancing. Nice place and would recommend. "
379988,2573407,2012-10-10,3543637,Charlotte,Amazing place. Would definitely stay here again. Everything was exactly as described and she was very flexible in arrival and check out times. Thanks Jennifer!

Thanks Jen!"
379988,2868183,2012-11-12,3599487,Ouida,"My boyfriend and I shared an amazing weekend in Austin. It was our first stay in an airbnb and Jennifer was a wonderful host. Her dog was there to welcome us when we arrived and we instantly felt at home. The location was close to SOCO and East 6th. The bed was comfy, the shower was clean and great. We had everything we needed. Jennifer responded quickly and answered any questions we had about Austin.We both felt very comfortable in her home and would stay with her again. "
379988,2892824,2012-11-15,958137,Steve,Good bargain.  Too far to walk to downtown. 
379988,2901040,2012-11-17,2741358,Lucian,"I was in Austin for the Formula 1 race, but I came in a few days early to explore the city. Jennifer was very welcoming when I arrived and gave me a brief tour of it. It's very cozy and clean. Everything I needed was provided - she even brought home a newspaper with listings of all the F1 fan fest events in downtown Austin! Bonus: friendly dog."

379988,2971849,2012-11-26,984223,Dani,Jen was very friendly and communicative prior to arrival. She was also very understanding and accommodating when we had a last minute change of plans and weren't able to show up until later than expected. The room was clean and exactly what we expected. I would definitely recommend the room. 
379988,3010268,2012-12-02,4079992,Nick,"I was stopping by Austin for a few days and found Jennifer's place to be a clean and comfy retreat.  The house was tucked away in Southeast Austin, and I loved being able to use her mountain bike she had available to get around the city.  The hills on the southern side were a challenge at times, but I was able to get downtown and back alright and really enjoyed the independence without having to pay for a rental car.  Jennifer was a wonderful host and helped me pick up some take-out one night.  "
379988,3027052,2012-12-04,3004065,Linda,"This place was perfect for me! Really close to South Congress and Downtown, plenty of parking, quiet and safe neighborhood..
Now for the living quarters: I was greeted by Jennifer upon arrival and given the grand tour, she set me up with towels and I was off to exploring the town. The room is nicely decorated, warm and has all you would need for a relaxing staycation or just a comfy bed to sink into to. I would definitely come back again. "
379988,3066904,2012-12-11,4184161,Mayreni,Jennifer was an angel to me. She helped me so much with the process of transition in my new life.

I had a great time while I has there. Thanks J for everything.

379988,3104086,2012-12-17,3634223,Haibiba,"I'm allergic to cats and completely overlooked the fact that Jennifer, the host,  mentioned that she had an indoor cat. Upon arrival and several sneezing fits, she immediately changed out comforter and made sure to keep the door to our room closed. In addition to the claritin i always carry, i had no problem staying in our lovely room. Jennifer was incredibly gracious, the location was perfect, and my fiance now wants hot pink flannel sheets on our bed. Said it was the best nights sleep he'd had in awhile. Highly recommend. "
379988,3151376,2012-12-24,318192,Dana,"Jennifer's house is very clean and cozy. I didn't get a chance to speak much to her, but felt good energy. I highly recommend!"

The house is very close to Austin, and she was quick to offer a ride to the bus stop and anywhere they were going out for the night. The dog and cats were nice too :-) I would book here again for sure! The little house in the backyard was awesome too, great set up back there."
379988,3324319,2013-01-10,1364649,Andrew,"Jennifer was flexible in my late arrival time and made sure that I had all that I needed.  Her separate backyard minihouse looks like a very fun spot although I stayed in the main house.  Large room, comfy bed and friendly pets.  I didn't get to spend much time with Jennifer because I was on a tight schedule.  I would definitely recommend this as a good value.  "
379988,3415580,2013-01-26,4404203,Valentin,"It was an amazing trip to Austin. I really loved the city as well as Jen's place. The room is spacious, bright and the bed is comfy. Jen is an easy-going host, very pleasant to chat with and hang out:) She's got two really lovely pets, the doberman - Dmitri Medvedev (haha!) is just adorable. The house is only 5, max 10 mins by car from downtown, so the location is just perfect. Recommended!:)"
379988,3447953,2013-01-31,1684169,Heather,"The place was great - located a short drive from South Congress and other great Austin locations.  Jennifer was a great hostess - offering drinks upon our arrival and giving us the lowdown of best eats and drinks nearby even while her dinner was getting cold.  The bed was SUPER comfy, the house and it's decor has great character and as I'll be missing my own pets for some time, it was really great to steal some cuddles from her cat, part-time kitten, and Dimitri her gorgeous and very friendly Dobie."
379988,3478034,2013-02-04,4747088,Corban,"We very much appreciated the hospitality and friendliness of the host.

379988,3542138,2013-02-14,4219009,Sam And Amy,Great spot and a lovely house. Room and bathroom are spacious and clean. Jennifer was so helpful with giving us great advice on where to go and what to do in our 1 night in Austin.  Would definitely recommend.

We will gladly stay with Jennifer again."

She's very easy to get along with, has a great house and she even went out to dinner with me.  Plus, she's a huge fan of beef tongue!  The next time I'm in Austin I'll definitely stay here and might have to check out the tiny house in the backyard."
379988,3607842,2013-02-22,5099449,Diane,"My brother introduced me to Airbnb so I figured I'd take a look into it. I had to be in Austin for training for 2 days. Jennifer was my pick. She is a nice, sweet person and good to chat with. The room I stayed in is a good size with the most comfortable bed! The sheets are nice and soft, as well! I stayed 2 nights and had no problem falling asleep. I felt comfortable in her home and actually felt like I was in college again as if she were my roommate. The thing I really enjoyed the most was playing with her younger kitty. The kitty would keep me company while I was getting ready for work. It was cute to see the kitty venture through my suitcase. It was great being there and she was a great host! If I have to be in Austin again, I would definitely stay at her home again! "
379988,3616547,2013-02-26,889654,Cynthia,"I traveled by myself to Austin to check out the area and the University, and I stayed at Jen's house for 4 days. The room was very comfortable and the bed... oh my! The bed is like a cloud. Although you cannot see her bath tub on the pictures, it is huge and the shower head is huge. If you're a bed and bathroom traveler, then this place is perfect for you. Jennifer's house is incredibly unique and I would very much recommend it."
379988,3651171,2013-02-27,5133714,Veronica,"Jennifer has a beautiful, peaceful home where you'll feel very happy spending the night in the spacious, comfortable guest bedroom. She's very friendly and accommodating with any check-in time. Though I've just moved to Austin, if I were a tourist I'd definitely stay with her again, or will certainly recommend her place to anyone visiting the city!"
379988,3662777,2013-03-01,5061271,Nora,"Jennifer is a wonderful host! She was flexible about my arrival time and gave me great advice on where to visit in Austin with my time constraints. I came and went as I pleased. The room was clean and comfortable, parking was easy and plentiful in the street and I had a lovely time in Austin. "
379988,3720499,2013-03-08,2666758,Lloyd,"Highly recommend. Arrived in Austin late, Jennifer was super accommodating, friendly, easy going and interesting. The place was very organised & clean. The bedroom is large and spacious. Would try and check in again if ever in Austin. Lloyd"
379988,3778929,2013-03-14,3258514,Bruno,"If I describe the experience, the unique word that fit is fantastic. Jennifer is an amazing person, friendly, helpful and ready for any spot suggestion. The whole house, backyard, rooms, kitchen and bedrooms have their own personality and life. For sure you'll feel cozy.

If you intend to stay during SXSW, it's a must as well. You'll be about 4 miles from Convention Center. Although there is also a bus  that stops some blocks near the house."
379988,3832948,2013-03-19,416581,Rafter,"Jen was a great host, and our sxsw experience was super. Her dog is the sweetest and the location is a really quick drive or medium bike ride to downtown. Awesome!"
379988,4071337,2013-04-07,5777368,Mitchell,"Jennifer was a great host. I did not spend much time with her due to the urgent nature of my trip, but she was VERY gracious, trusting and accommodating. I did get to enjoy a cup of morning joe with her and visit for a bit. I HIGHLY recommend her extra bedroom. It was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Next time I want to stay in her Tiny House. Thanks, Jen!"
379988,4091282,2013-04-08,5792059,Tyler,"We had a last minute request to stay with Jennifer because another home never responded to us. We asked to stay with her the day of and she quickly responded. We got there late because we were riding with friends, but she let us know how to get in before hand. We did not see her until we were about to head out, but she was very nice. Wish we had stopped by earlier when she was there to meet her, but it all worked out just fine."
379988,4109902,2013-04-10,5513205,Richard,"very nice home near downtown Austin.

Her home is clean and comfortable"

379988,4193202,2013-04-17,2863372,Joshua,"This was a nice clean room, and comfortable for the two nights I spent in Austin.

I didn't meet Jennifer, but she got in touch before my arrival with instructions for how to get into the house and who to contact if I ran into any trouble. I didn't, and everything went very smoothly. Oh yes, and Dmitri (the dog) is charming and loves to play!"
379988,4219507,2013-04-19,5775635,Aaron,"Jennifer was able to accomodate my last-minute booking and her place was extremely comfortable and very conveniently located.

She even took the time to show me the tiny house she rents in the backyard, and tell me all about how she built it.

Jennifer also made sure I knew the best place to grab some food as I set out for the evening, to make sure I made the most of my night in Austin. 

Thanks!"
379988,4244501,2013-04-22,750122,Sebastiaan,"Jennifer's place was the perfect base from where I could discover Austin (nice city by the way!)

The room and bathroom are perfect. The garden as well. And taking the Jen made coffee in the garden was even more perfect!
A very quiet place very close to Downtown.
Thanks again Jen.   "
379988,4956305,2013-06-03,6627674,Paul,Jennifer was a great host and I had a wonderful time in Austin. Jennifer was very helpful and made me feel right at home during my stay at her house. I met her cat and dog and was able to get to the sixth street area at a reasonable Taxi Cab rate of $13.00 from Jennifer's house to down town in record time using Austin Cab service. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again in the future!! Paul

Parking was a breeze, the animals were friendly, and the bed was comfy! She saved us from a dreary motel/hotel near the Interstate at last minute and we were very grateful!"

Clean room, comfortable bed, great shower and in an excellent location for exploring the vintage shops and food trucks on South Congress. Jennifer couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating - she even offered to give us a ride when our car unexpectedly broke down! I'd definitely stay here again. Also, adorable pets!"
379988,5510474,2013-07-03,6484434,Natalie,"Jennifer was a very friendly and accommodating host!  Her place was perfect for our stay in Austin. This was our first Airbnb experience, and she made it so easy and seamless.  The room was very clean and her house is adorable.  We loved the backyard and her dog Dimitry.  Very close to the SoCo area which we enjoyed.  We would definitely stay here again when we return to Austin!  "

379988,6042325,2013-07-28,5560751,Jenna,Jennifer's place was perfect for our trip across country! We wanted to see a lot of Austin in a short time and her place gave us great access to do so. We were able to bike a short 4 miles into downtown Austin from her home in the south and were completely comfortable relaxing when we came back. She was also a great host who was easy to talk to and had a lot of cool stories to share! We definitely recommend staying here and loved her dog Dimitri and the cats!
379988,6122797,2013-07-30,7306638,Diana,"Jen's house is colourful, airy and very clean.  Our room had a very comfortable bed and we slept very well there as the area is quiet and residential. 

We were only in Jen's house for one night and rushed out to meet a friend when we arrived so we could not chat to her for as long as we would have liked but she greeted us warmly and seemed very easy going. We got better acquainted with Jen's dog the following morning: he is one of the friendliest and sweetest dogs I have ever met. 

Overall a very pleasant -and unfortunately too short- stay in Austin. "
379988,6303856,2013-08-07,4331278,Brandon,Jen is my favorite hostess to stay with!  I've already scheduled my third trip to Austin this year and will be staying with her again.  I can't recommend her more if you're heading her way!
379988,6349570,2013-08-09,6049997,Liam,"Jen is a fantastic host. She made everything so easy. She's great for recommendations for bars restaurants and places to see, as well as a chat. "

379988,7014824,2013-09-03,7679810,Ed,Jennifer's place was great! Her boyfriend was extremely welcoming and the stay was absolutely fantastic! All thumbs up.
379988,7128757,2013-09-07,5343112,Neil & Emily,"We really enjoyed Austin. We arrived early, whilst Jenn was at work but she had given us the door code to let ourselves in and unpack. We met both her gorgeous black kittens and puppy Dimitry. What a beautiful clean home! Large fully equipped kitchen, powerful shower, wall mounted TVs in almost every room and a large garden.
The house is about 10 minutes out of town but we used public transport on most days. We went to Stubb's on the first evening to listen to Ed Sharpe, and it was a great start to a fantastic city. Barton Springs was a little further away but we drove there on our last evening in Austin and it was such a refreshing relief from the humidity of the sun. We would definitely advise a visit to South Congress, in particular to Gemma's Jamaican Food Truck and the vintage shops. Really great coffee and bars in that area too.
Jenn was really helpful with information on the local attractions and how to get around. She is a social and friendly person who is happy to share her experiences with those she meets, we felt really at home in her company and enjoyed our stay in Austin all the more for having the opportunity to meet her."
379988,7203384,2013-09-10,3474394,Brook,"         Jennifer was a gracious. Friendly host and

Jennifer communicated with us prior to arrival to make sure we had no trouble getting in and out of the house.  If you're looking for the perfect balance between comfort and cost, look no further."
379988,7510509,2013-09-23,7850723,Bobby,"First time Airbnb user, but if all my stays are this good…it won’t be my last.

I found Jennifer to be very personable.  Open and easy to talk to and never made to feel as though I was a customer.  The accommodations were perfect for my needs.  Definitely will book again with Jen.

379988,8239900,2013-10-21,9420093,Lyle,Very close to Downtown Austin. Jen was a great host. I don't care for animals inside of a house but the house was kept very clean and the pets were friendly. I would recommend this for anyone looking to be close to Downtown for a very reasonable price. 
379988,8378584,2013-10-28,7850723,Bobby,"What is the line about real estate?  Location, Location, Location.  
Close enough to downtown Austin without all the downtown traffic.
Easy on and off I-35.
Almost a straight 8.5 mile drive to the Circuit of the Americas for race events, Summer X games, or concerts at the Austin 360 venue.

Jennifer is a super host that always asks how my day ways.  She takes the time to listen and enage in conversation.  Very laid back and easy going and doesn't have many rules or restrictions.

This was my second time staying with Jennifer and will do so in the future.  "
379988,8455350,2013-10-31,6872193,Owen,"Jen's place was terrific, we arrived while she was out and made ourselves at home. Her dog and two cats are very friendly ad the whole house is very clean and comfortable. Definitely would stay again"
379988,8678748,2013-11-11,9819414,Dylan,"This was my first time using airbnb. I am certain that I was spoiled, because Jennifer was an excellent host. Besides being courteous, and generally cool, she also help me plan a bike route which I thought was awesome. My one regret is not taking a picture with the giant metal rooster. But, alas, my time spent there was wonderful."

379988,15417942,2014-07-08,3663924,Alexandra & Justin,"We slept well at Jen's house! The air conditioning and fan kept the place cool despite how hot it was outside. The mattress was great and the house was in a quiet neighborhood which probably helped us sleep like logs. The bathroom was shared and with a full house, I can imagine that could get congested a times. We didn't get to know Jen at all-- she was rarely home. There were 2 cats and a dog in the house but we didn't hear them at all either. The place was convenient to all we wanted to explore in Austin. "
379988,17085680,2014-08-06,17073733,William,"Jenn is a wonderful host who made me feel right at home.
She let me set the tone for interaction as i was working during the day I was most grateful for her consideration
Stores are within walking distance and my room was neat and clean.
The bed was most comfortable and I slept great
There are two cats and a dog who are very well behaved so take that into consideration"

379988,19659849,2014-09-15,20504008,Eva,"We had a great time in Austin. Jen's house is close to the freeway and easy to find on the gps. The bedroom was very clean and we felt very welcomed. Jen gave us tips on where to eat and hang out on Saturday night. Very great suggestions! She was also easy to reach on the phone. Please note that there are pets at this house. I have an unusual phobia of cats, but we didn't have to worry about Jen's two cats. They stayed away from our bedroom during our entire stay. Would highly recommend this location to everyone, including a female traveling by herself. Felt very safe."

Place is adorable and the room was exactly what I expected. Jen and the other guests staying there were super friendly/easy to talk to. I almost wish I could've stayed longer because it was so relaxing. Loved the dog and two cats.  Definitely a great airbnb experience. 
379988,20846474,2014-10-06,21099681,John,"the room was as described and very clean. jen was helpful and really appreciated the loan of the bike, bike map and tips to let me get into into town!

place was busy as peak time but we all coped fine."
379988,21035868,2014-10-10,13138680,Keith,"Jen was a great hostess, she made me feel completely welcome and was very helpful. All of the good things people have said about her in their reviews are 100% true.

She also has a ""guest house"" in her backyard that didn't show up in my search but she told me about it when I was there and seems like a chill spot to stay too.

While I was there she had two other house guest who are fun and helpful too.

If I'm ever in Austin and need a place to stay and her extra room or guest house is open it's a done deal! 

Thanks Jen!

Btw her dog was real friendly and chill even tho he would rather play keep away rather than fetch."

379988,21638790,2014-10-20,3701720,Javier,Jen was fantastic and super accommodating. She lent me her awesome bicycle and in case you didn't know - a bike is thee best way to see Austin for it's nature attributes.

379988,23250335,2014-11-26,393941,Olga,"Our stay with Jen was really great! She had a lot of awesome suggestions for where to go and what to do, and even came out with us to the Russian House for dinner! Her dog and two cats are really sweet, too. The room was clean and comfortable. The location her house is really convenient (though not walking distance) to all the cool parts of south central/east Austin, the downtown, and the airport. I definitely recommend Jen and her place!"
379988,23590519,2014-12-05,16188359,David,"Jen is more than amazing host! The house is great. Comfortable, clean and coozy. She help us so much. Dimitry the dog is awesome and you really feel at home!"
379988,23716062,2014-12-08,24129695,Kenzie,"Very cute, comfortable home! We were in and out a lot and never had trouble getting in the house. We were only in Austin for a short time and were very comfortable in this home."
379988,23840144,2014-12-12,20496910,Linda,"Jen's home is great, with a big room, comfortable bed and all of the facilities yiu need.   To pets nake you feel welcome and Jen is so welcoming and helpful. 
Would I stay again - definitely!  Would I recommend you stay - two thumbs up, yes!"
379988,23876114,2014-12-13,17232375,Amanda,"Very safe, quiet neighborhood and easty to get to. Jen was very easy to reach and got back to me promptly w/ questions."
379988,24028225,2014-12-17,20243445,Todd,Jen was fantastic and very accommodating. I didn't have any issues while I was there. I would recommend her to other individuals looking to visit Austin.
379988,24213592,2014-12-22,24385440,John,Jen was great! Very cozy home and welcoming environment. She is located right near everything downtown so the location was ideal. I'll be back!!
379988,24847225,2015-01-03,23915501,Mihaela,"Jen was a great host. She was communicative and accommodating of our very, very late arrival at 2:30 am. Instructions to enter the house were clear and she left the lights on to find our way to the room. Jen has a very cute house with a spacious kitchen. We didn't use the kitchen, but we stored some stuff in the fridge. She has 2 cats and 1 dog, all very friendly. Btw - the cats are allowed outside, one thing we didn't know upon arrival and we had to make sure one cat didn't follow us. Location is less than 10 minutes driving to the hip South of Congress street. A plus for Jen's house is plenty of street parking. I would definitely stay with Jen if my travels take me to Austin again"
379988,24998574,2015-01-04,6904098,Kristen,"I had an awesome time
Staying at Jen's. Her instructions were clear and we had no trouble finding the Place or getting in the house. She was super friendly and had positive input to say about the city of Austin. I'd definitely stay here again."
379988,25181473,2015-01-08,8996902,Marion,"We weren't welcomed by Jen but one of her roomate; not having the whole address, we spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out which house it was and how to get in. After that, her roomates are super nice (they gave us tips about Austin), the house is great, there are two really cute cats and one super friendly dog. Bed was comfy. Bathroom was great. And the backyard was definitely a plus for our dog!
Location/price can't be beat in my opinion; you would stay really close to downtown at a competitive price. Must have a car to get around."
379988,25807244,2015-01-26,8316257,Guillaume,Jen is a great host! the shared room is very calm and the house is very friendly. I recommend this address 
379988,26082613,2015-02-02,16793088,Steve,"Jen's house is great, position is perfect - an easy drive to downtown and SoCo. Even though Jen was away, her housemate was really helpful, and the communication with Jen leading up to arrival was quick and easy. Definitely recommend if you're staying in Austin. "
379988,27684138,2015-03-09,7850723,Bobby,"Close enough to everything, yet not in the middle of the massive crowds.

Minutes from downtown, COTA, and Zeigler Park. Easy access to I-35 and SH-130."
379988,28158319,2015-03-19,939205,Franz,"Very clear communication about check-in. Clean, nice room. Very friendly pets. Good location just a few miles from downtown. Jen let me borrow her bike, which was a great advantage during SXSW. All perfect. Absolutely recommended."
379988,31025280,2015-04-30,29990360,Marcus,My first experience was great! I would request and recommend anybody to Ms. Jen. Thank you:-)
379988,31149596,2015-05-02,30477729,Aikaterini,The room was nice and spacious. The location is very conventient for getting to downtown. We did not really hear much from Jen.

379988,32150815,2015-05-14,30723102,Kathryn,"Jen was a good host. We arrived really late but she had waited up to let us in, even though she had work the next day. Room was as described. D'mitri (the dog) was a treat. They let us do our washing too which was awesome. It's a bit of a hike into the city centre but doesn't cost much to uber or taxi. Overall a nice stay."
379988,32223416,2015-05-15,27302632,Michael,Awesome experience! Perfect place for a perfect city. Jen was very nice and funny :) also very clean and nice pets! Thx Jen!!
379988,32717292,2015-05-20,25523632,Brittany,We loved Austin and Jen's house was great! Her roommate greeted us and was very friendly. We loved coming home to Dmitri (the dog) and the location was perfect for us! Jen has really thought of all the little things that make a guest comfortable. Overall a great experience!

379988,33280441,2015-05-26,192230,Sisi & Xikang,"We had a very short stay at Jen's place. Communication is very smooth, the location is great, close to downtown. Room is very comfortable. We were trying to see as many things as possible in Austin so we didn't have a chance to really talk to Jen, but she and her boyfriend are very nice people. Overall experience is great! Thanks Jen!"

379988,33603671,2015-05-30,32797784,Joseph,Jen was a gracious host! The room is exactly like the photos. Her home is very close to downtown- we didn't have to use the interstate to get around. I would recommend her home for anyone looking to stay in Austin! And her dog is pretty cute too!
379988,33754649,2015-05-31,20987170,Hannah,"Jen and her family welcomed us warmly--we immediately felt comfortable and knowledgeable of the space and amenities. The space was just what we needed. Very clean, private space, and kind hosts. Would stay here again for sure. Quiet location very accessible to downtown. "
379988,33939872,2015-06-02,19902522,Kat,"Jen was a wonderful host with a wonderful home! We were not there much except to sleep and shower since we were enjoying the amazing city of Austin, but it was a perfect place to crash once we were there. I would recommend Jen and her home to any Austin travelers!"
379988,34157888,2015-06-05,7228979,Melody,Jen was very accommodating and let us come in even though she was not physically there for checkin. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was comfortable.
379988,34507910,2015-06-08,34301747,Lyda,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and I was pleasantly surprised. We arrived very late at night, but Jen was nice and made sure we were able to get into the house and get settled in. The house was exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. We enjoyed staying in Jen's home, but we didn't see much of Jen because she was out of town for part of our stay. However the time that we did see Jen she was very friendly and welcoming!"
379988,35225223,2015-06-16,1412829,Jason,"Really enjoyed my time at Jen's house, it's nicely tucked away from the busy-ness, yet still close to the main arteries of town. She's very welcoming and offers a nice atmosphere. I'd definitely recommend to visitors!"
379988,35490844,2015-06-19,3499155,Jared,"Kind, accommodating and great place to stay!! Very welcoming and made the stay very enjoyable. Thank you so much Jen! Their dog is also so cute!"

379988,36926325,2015-07-02,12303660,Veronica,"The house was very charming and located conveniently to the airport, downtown, and most importantly, Torchy's Tacos.

We didn't interact with Jen too much, but her nephew Corey was very helpful."
379988,37100433,2015-07-04,11871275,Seinda,"Jen's place was very convenient and not that far from downtown Austin. Jen was very nice for letting me arrive earlier in the morning to settle in because of my early flight. The room was clean and everything was prepared. 
Austin is a very interesting city with lots of great food and places to hang out. I would definitely come and visit again."
379988,37716263,2015-07-09,539156,Dallas,"Clean room and bathroom. Decently located. Host very kind and responsive, though we never met her."

We even left our dog behind while going to dinner, so the dogs could play. Would highly recommend for Austin visitors! "

She suggested great places to go to outside of Austin in the Hill Country.  The room is perfect for two, the bed very comfy and it was great having the TV with lots of movie choices after long days of roaming around Austin.  We had a car and were only minutes from South Congress and downtown."

379988,39096663,2015-07-20,952820,Jamey,"Jen was great.  Great communication from the start, and easy to find.  The house was situated right in a part of town making it easy to get to Austin, or some of the parts outside of Austin for swimming, etc. (vital for Tx Summers).  The place was clean and comfortable.  Would def stay again."
379988,39244376,2015-07-21,35492468,Greg,"This location in Austin was great for our need to easily access UT. The room and bathroom were super clean. We were able to do laundry which was nice as well.  Jen was very welcoming, communicative, and accommodating.  I would highly recommend this listing - it's certainly a great value."
379988,39340508,2015-07-22,18289949,John,"Jen's place was a little hard to find at first, but she was very helpful with quick reply's to any questions I had. She was a wonderful hostess, and her home is very pleasant and comfortable, especially the back yard. I would definitely recommend her Room Close to Downtown to anyone visiting Austin. "

379988,41039599,2015-08-03,6242662,Haley,"The neighborhood was quiet and close to downtown, which was nice.  The listing was kind of accurate, except there were two issues.  First, as I am a woman, I prefer to stay with another woman because it makes me feel more comfortable.  When I booked, I was given a phone number and led to believe it was Jen's (as she is the only one mentioned on her listing).  When I called, a male answered the phone and also answered the door when we arrived, which really threw me off.  He identified himself as her nephew and said he was also living there at the time.  Jen was not home when we arrived.  It would have made me feel a lot more comfortable to have been given a heads up about her nephew staying there (as her listing makes it appear as a single woman's home) and that he would be greeting us.  Otherwise, he and Jen were both very nice.  Second, I am extremely allergic to cats, so I specifically look for listings without cats.  Jen's listing said she had a dog, which was fine with me.  Upon arrival, I saw one cat outside, which wasn't great, but it was kind of ok that it was outside.  When we woke up Saturday morning and were leaving for the day, there was another cat INSIDE walking around.  Just from the cat dander, I began having an allergic reaction, but it subsided a bit after we left.  I was a little upset about this because I am very allergic and specifically look for homes without cats.  I feel that the listing was misleading about the 2 cats as it did not mention them at all.  The rest of the trip we either stayed out of the house or stayed in the one bedroom and we kept the door closed for our entire stay so no cats would go in there.
Jen was nice and her place was pretty clean - I would simply update the listing to reflect these two items."
379988,41466234,2015-08-07,19588519,Maria,"Super chill, relaxed environment! Really friendly host! "
379988,42226556,2015-08-11,11192175,Nhi,Jen was really generous for allowing me to stay with her last minute.  I only needed a place to stay for half a night on emergency near the airport.  The room was clean & the pictures were quite accurate.  Communication was really good up to the point of me actually arriving  at the house though.  No one was home when I arrived & I waited 30 minutes before I was able to settle in.  Don't think that it's a common occurrence though since I had a variable schedule.
379988,43870208,2015-08-22,11298613,Leslie,The room was comfortable and clean and convenient to downtown Austin.
379988,44854411,2015-08-29,5222709,Simone,"We really liked staying at Jen's place. She gave us good tips about stuff to see and do. The place is very clean, the bed is comfy and the kitchen is well equipped. We loved her 'disco-shower':)  "

Her place was very conveniently located for traveling to downtown and Town Lake. One of her friends serenaded us with her wonderful guitar and singing skills. We had a great time!"
379988,46407142,2015-09-10,21574283,Charise,Jen's place was great. Easy to find and good location. Jen and her nephew Cory were very welcoming and friendly. They gave great recommendations for food and places to visit. The room was really clean and cool (yay cos it was hot outside) - it is just like the pictures and we slept well in the comfy bed. Dimitri the dog is gentle and friendly and the cats are cute too. We had a lovely time and highly recommend staying here.

She is very laid back and outgoing. Her dog is a sweetheart and her two cats are real friendly.

All in all, I was satisfied with my stay at her place."
5106222,27435481,2015-03-04,26808506,Arun,"This place fit our needs perfectly and we all agreed we would stay here again in a heartbeat. The place is beautifully furnished and you can tell they took the time with all the details. Perfect for entertaining, we wish it was warmer outside so we could have fully taken advantage of the pool and screened in patio. Walking distance from rainy street and we could get a uber/lyft within five minutes any time of day. Kevin was a gracious and easily accessible host to try to accommodate our every need."
5106222,27597169,2015-03-08,1592013,Cara,"This house is pretty amazing! It's brand new and filled with stunning custom-made furniture and high end finishes (from the high thread count sheets and oversized heavy towels to the amazing sound system). All rooms were beautifully designed and finished and overall it was a perfect place from which to enjoy Austin.

Kevin was great: extremely responsive prior to and during the trip and very helpful and friendly throughout.

The location of the house was perfect, a 3 min walk to Rainey, close to the entire east side and a short uber or 15 min walk from downtown.

There was a strange cold front in town when we were there so we didn't get to enjoy the pool, but we plan in going back later in the year and will certainly be staying here."
5106222,27822165,2015-03-12,3676001,Paul,"After another house fell through, our group of 5 needed a good place, and needed it fast. Kevin was exceptionally communicative and easygoing, and made the reservation a breeze. And the house...the house was amazing! It was brand new in early 2015, so it had a very ""new house"" feel. Bedrooms & bathrooms are perfectly arranged for a large group, the kitchen and living areas are stylish and spacious, and the neighborhood was very pleasant. All in all a great spot - highly recommended!"
5106222,28167789,2015-03-19,27219420,Nick,"The home was spectacularly furnished with brand new & modern pieces that created a fresh, clean feeling throughout. Kevin Burns and his team did a wonderful job in making sure we were all setup for SXSW, and were willing to go over backwards to help us. We plan on making this our destination for SXSW for the next coming years! "
5106222,28702854,2015-03-29,26441560,Brian,"Everything about our stay was excellent!  
Host:  
When we arrived at the airport I received a call from Kevin and got all the arrival info (house, wifi, and sonos codes), as well as great restaurant recommendations for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and some late night areas.  I text him a few times during our stay and he always responded right away and was very helpful.  Overall pleasure to deal with.   When we arrived at the house there was a a little welcome bag/gift with a nice note from the host.
Location:  
Great location in an up and coming neighborhood, with a quick 5 to 7 minute walk to the bars on Rainy St, and another 10 minutes from Rainy to 6th, but we spent 90% of our nights on Rainy.  
House:  
Amazing!!  We had a group of 12 guys and we were very comfortable.  Each area (living room, screened in patio, and pool area/backyard) were large enough for the entire group to hang out together.  The pool was a little chilly, but nice to jump in, especially for a group of us from Illinois in March!  All of the couches, beds, chairs, etc, were very comfortable and stylish.  The house was decked out with everything we needed, and then some.  Multi-room sonos system for great music, plenty of hd tv's, wifi, a nice grill on the patio, and gourmet kitchen fully equipped w/ cookware, high end appliances, and everything needed for us to cook and enjoy some meals at the house.  Everyone in our group thought the house was great, and would definitely stay here again!   I'm used to staying at 4/5 star resorts, and this was one of the best places I've stayed. 
I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a memorable house/experience in Austin.  Stop wasting time looking for anything else, and book this place if it's available.  You will not be disappointed! "
5106222,29361756,2015-04-06,9580826,Jordan,"Kevin was a great host. He was very responsive and attentive without being intrusive. The process with Kevin was best in class.

The house is incredible. The photos do not do it justice. Everything was beyond expectation - brand new, high quality, and tasteful. Super comfortable beds.

The location is tough to beat if you're going to be spending time downtown and need a central spot to jump on the freeway. Very short walk to Rainey. Easy uber all over the city. "
5106222,29732442,2015-04-12,15077355,Angel,"This is a house meant for a party and celebrating with family and friends. It's perfectly laid out for entertaining and you can't beat the proximity to Rainey Street (4 block walk), East 6th street and downtown. We had a guys weekend with a group of 8 and thoroughly enjoyed hanging out in the house. The house is furnished in a modern style with a fantastic kitchen in an open layout...every room is very cool. The entire ground floor can be opened to the pool area which makes it great for hanging by the pool while others watch television. 

The neighborhood is being turned with several homes being remodeled. It felt very safe and there were lots of folks jogging throughout the day and several families with strollers walking around. Our group walked to Rainey street both days and also walked to East 6th street for dinner. The only driving we did was to the lake and for breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million which is approx. a mile away. 

Lastly, Kevin was a great host. He made sure we were comfortable, made recommendations and checked in a couple of times to make sure we had what we needed. He also started us off with some great local beers and left us a stocked bar. 

I highly recommend this house for a group. If I can convince a group of 6+ friends to join me in Austin again then this will be the first house I check. "
5106222,30191183,2015-04-19,875454,Johan,"the house was great and super clean/new. we unfortunately didn't get great weather while there but the pool looked great at least, and were still able to make the quick walk (around 10 mins) down to Rainey. Kevin was great and super accessible and offered up some great suggestions for things to do. we had a bachelor party of 10 and the house worked out perfectly for us. "
5106222,30664457,2015-04-26,4180895,Ron,"Kevin is a great host. From the moment we first started messaging, he's been super helpful.

The best part though is the house itself. It's just awesome. Booked it for a bachelor's party of 14 people and everyone fit, had a place to sleep and had a great time. The decorating is really hip -- overall a great house and guest that I'd recommend to anyone."
5106222,31180100,2015-05-03,974689,Kendall,"I stayed at the house with 10 other girls for a Bachelorette Party and had the best time.  The host made us feel very welcome and the house was just as the photos looked, VERY NICE & CLEAN! We enjoyed the outdoor space, grill and all the beds were really comfortable. It was really nice to be able to walk to Rainey Street ! We were able to get Ubers easily as well. I highly recommend this home ! "
5106222,32319577,2015-05-17,2207524,Regan,"This house is amazing - the pictures don't even do it justice. It's spacious, comfortable, beautiful and tasteful. There is great attention to detail: from the shampoo/body wash/soap in every bathroom, to comfortable beds, and great linens. It slept 13 of us comfortably and could have slept 14 of us. Lots of great communal space, too. We had two big meals at the house, and ate comfortably as well. The house was spotless. Kevin and his house manager were fabulous - they were very quick to respond before arrival and during our stay they were incredibly responsive with our questions. The location is great - walkable to bars on Rainey Street, and coffee/juice shops too. I'd recommend this house to anyone, and would definitely stay here again!"
5106222,34719341,2015-06-11,33287155,Cori,"My group had a fantastic experience in this beautifully designed house.  We were greeted with a sweet welcome bag, and extremely clean, well stocked (with clean towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash) house.  We had a great time and would love to stay again next time we are in Austin!  Thank you Kevin!"
5106222,36364970,2015-06-28,28297205,Robert,"Went down to Austin for a Bachelor party with a group of guys.  The house was fantastic and met all of my expectations.  It was clean, well maintained, and well equipped with modern technology including multiple large flat screen TVs, Wi-Fi, Sonos, and an awesome in ground pool.  Kevin was a great host and a quick responder with questions/concerns.  Definitely recommend booking with him and this house."
5106222,37979400,2015-07-12,912597,Jeffrey & Melissa,"The house was amazing, and communication with David was super easy.  Our group had an A+ experience.   Thanks again!"
5106222,38822090,2015-07-19,29926651,Kevin,"Kevin and his team were great hosts; accessible and very accommodating. The house was very clean and in great condition. Everything you could think of from bath towels, pool towels, grill, entertainment/sound system, body wash/shampoo, etc. not only did his house have but was high quality. There is plenty of common space perfect for relaxing and hanging out with your friends. The bedrooms were private and beds extremely comfortable (better than most high end hotels I've stayed in). The locations is outstanding. Rainey St. was less than a 10 minute walk and located close enough to the highway anytime we requested an Uber to go anywhere else we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes and the house was easy for drivers to find. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone visiting Austin and hope to stay at this or one of his other properties on future visits.   "
5106222,44905909,2015-08-30,24557098,Aaron,"The house was amazing and I think even more impressive than the pictures portray. We had a large group and everyone was able to sleep comfortably.  Every bedroom is unique, clean and very comfortable. WiFi, sound system, pool, everything was functional and easy to use. I would definitely stay with Kevin again if the opportunity arose. "
5106222,47621822,2015-09-21,8678402,Mariana,"What an amazing place! Great location, lots of space for a group of 14. In addition, we were mostly couples so there was plenty of privacy (5 priv bedrooms and the 6th room was the top floor with two beds)  We were close to all of the action on Rainey street and it was very easy to get to the stadium and south congress area. Having access to the pool made the 95 degree manageable and great for all of us to hang out in. 

The hosts were great, easily accessible via phone or email.  They keep the place in tip top shape. DONT LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE, you will not regret staying here. "
5106222,52075182,2015-10-26,9324930,Arun,"Excellent house, well stocked with necessary items, comfortable, good wi-fi and climate control - everything one could ask for.  6 of us stayed without any issues and really enjoyed the house.  Host was really responsive and professional, great interacting with them.  Would definitely stay here again if we return."

8615214,50367853,2015-10-11,45027934,Bridget,Jay was a great host! He was very welcoming and friendly. He was also flexible about our unsual check-in time. The room was comfortable with some cool lighting and a nice bathroom. I had a fun stay!
760139,3745304,2013-03-11,4722492,Meg,This was a great place for us to stay during SXSW Film. It was walking distance (1 mile) to the convention center and easy walking distance to tons of restaurants and bars. It was extremely clean and the host was very helpful and communicative. Definitely recommend! 
760139,10901323,2014-03-12,8314374,Jamil,"Mk was a great host and her place was clean, quiet, close to downtown, and had a wonderful courtyard with a giant fancy BBQ and cool hanging lights that added to the ambiance.  She was reliable and easy to communicate with and she even had bottled water in the fridge and a big plate of crackers, cheese, and meats just for me!  I would definitely recommend her place to anyone staying in Austin.  Thanks Mk!   "
760139,27945652,2015-03-15,28048957,Beth,"Great Home!  The host provided clean sheets and towels and some food/water in the fridge.  There is no cable, but there is chromecast which is what I use at home so I was comfortable.  Downtown Austin is about a mile walk.  Safe neighborhood.  Host was in constant contact about key exchange and left me some cab companies in case Uber wasn't available.  I would absolutely stay here again."
760139,50482813,2015-10-12,43506089,Caroline,"A few friends and I stayed here for ACL, and it was PERFECT! The location doesn't get any better than (website hidden) was so sweet and so easy to communicate with as well. We had a great time! "

8192070,51185899,2015-10-18,38693135,Taryn,"What a great rental! We could not have been more pleased with our stay. The cabin was extremely clean and the perfect size. I'd compare it to a tiny house. It had a nice size living area with a pull-out couch and TV, a full-size kitchen, perfect size bathroom and a bedroom that fit a queen size bed plus a lovely front porch! The property the cabin sat on was very hill country. Lots of trees, a deer feeder that I'm sure attracts many deer, if you're up that early :). The pool area was very beautiful with many different areas to sit and a fit pit I wish we would have had time to enjoy. It is clear that the owners have put a lot of time and effort into ensuring their guests have all that is needed for a relaxing stay. We will most definitely be back!"
2210299,10364769,2014-02-16,4199216,Laura,"Tony's Monstrosity Attic is the perfect spot from which to explore Austin! It's within walking distance of tons of shopping and restaurants on both S Congress and S 1st and about a 5 min drive to I-35. Despite being so centrally located, the Monstrosity is located on a quiet street in a well-lit, safe-feeling neighborhood. Tony has quite the compound going, as well. I happened upon another occupant on the property who was able to direct me to the attic when I drove up. 

The attic itself is huge! The fold-out couch was perfect for 2 of us, but there was plenty of floor space that could have accommodated air mattresses if your group is larger. The bathroom is compact and super clean. I didn't have occasion to use the full kitchen, but it would be super handy for a longer stay. I appreciated the extra blankets and space heater as it was pretty cold at night during my visit. 

All in all, I fully recommend this property, and I hope to be able to stay again when I'm in Austin. Thanks, Tony! "
2210299,10698397,2014-03-03,11008313,Rocky,The Attic was perfect for my short stay! Tony was a great host and I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin.
2210299,10937760,2014-03-14,3354093,Sten,"Good location close to South Congress and Magnolia Café. 
Everything with Tony worked smoothly and well. 
Neighborhood felt safe and quite and it was easy to park on the driveway or on the street. 
The Attic worked fine for us, we could sleep well and enjoy SXSW without any hassle.  Tony have other places nearby too. So there are several opportunities for staying in the hood. "
2210299,11751935,2014-04-14,3685113,Bruno,"Tony is an easy going and very friendly host. There was a bit confusion when we arrived, so we spend the first night in an even better unit on the property which we didn't mind at all of course. The Monstrosity Attic is a cosy and homely place with all the amenities you need. The neighborhood is nice and it's close to South of Congress, where the coolest restaurants and shops are."
2210299,12324934,2014-04-28,13420883,Peter,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2210299,13436472,2014-05-27,5746002,William,"Great place to stay. Tony very helpful re what to do in the real Austin. HEB very close, buses in to town very close "
2210299,13694657,2014-06-02,15443217,Erin,"Tony's Monstrosity Attic was perfect for our stay in Austin!  The property is much like it's host in that it is warm and welcoming.  The Monstrosity's picket-fenced yard is set back from a charming street that is centrally located between SoCo and SoLa, two of the most vibrant and bustling streets in South Austin.  
We spent much of our time walking from one destination to the next after Tony was kind enough to explain the best spots for food, entertainment and outdoor venues.  Austin has something for everyone and Tony was a wealth of information when speaking about the city's destinations and fabric.  It is also a very quick drive or bike ride to Barton Springs, Lake Austin and Downtown Austin.  Cabs and local transportation were easily accessible and inexpensive when we chose not to walk, bike or drive our own vehicle.
The Monstrosity Attic itself was larger than the online photos portray, so we were very happy to have a bit of room to stretch out, relax and cook our own meals in the fully equipped, compact kitchen.  Toiletries and other necessities were abundant and we were never without anything that we needed in a pinch.  It was also nice to have access to a washer and dryer while sipping a cool refreshment on the deck of the Monstrosity Bungalow (located below the Monstrosity Attic).
We always felt ""at home"" in the sense that we could move about the property and chat with Tony and other guests, yet still have a totally private space for ourselves when wanting down time.  
We are smitten with the property, it's location and it's owner, Tony.  This is truly more like an experience than a destination.
"
2210299,14836473,2014-06-27,13324477,Emma,"The Monstrosity Attic was located in a very peaceful and quiet little neighborhood. It was very well equipped with almost any toiletry you could hope for. While there isn't a cat in the attic, the blankets are pretty dander-y and my allergic boyfriend struggled with that. Also, it should be noted that the pull out couch bed is really uncomfortable! Luckily there was an extra chair bed that one of us could sleep on. Also the toilet was kind of messed up. We had to reattach the chain a couple of times in order for the thing to flush. But those issues aside, it was a fine and very livable place for us to stay while frantically searching for an apartment in Austin."
2210299,15343651,2014-07-07,2894336,Jan,"Tony was there to meet us even though we arrived much later than we anticipated. The place was really cute & away from the busyness of Austin. Very friendly male cat made himself at home with us, I called him Buster, he didn't mind! All in all, no problems, everything we needed was there!"
2210299,15562520,2014-07-11,1977059,Marika,"We had a great stay in this apartment. It is a short 5 minute walk from South Congress- the neighborhood is very safe and had plenty of shops, restaurants, and other amenities. Tony is a gracious host- he lives on premises and went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and oriented to Austin. The apartment is on the second floor of a cute cottage, with slanted ceilings and mostly comfy furnishings. The bed is not terribly comfortable, it slopes a bit towards the center and is very soft- but if you're a good sleeper, you'll be just fine. There is also a single bed sleeper that is a lot more firm and supportive. The kitchen is outfitted with all the tools you need, but not stocked with cooking basics, so be sure to pick those up when you get your groceries! There is a sweet kitty-cat who will hang out on the porch with you as you have your tea in the morning. I definitely recommend the Attic as a great landing place from which to explore South Austin!"
2210299,16077175,2014-07-22,3547524,Elizabeth,"Monstrosity Attic was really well situated on a nice quiet street. I was able to walk to South Congress in about 10 minutes. 

The listing is misleading, IMO. There is no ""bedroom"" as it's the sofa in the living room that is the bed. The details of the listing are more explicit, but I think it's mislabeled. 

Moreover, the apartment was filthy. The fan and AC were covered in grime. The floor had clearly not been mopped in awhile and there were dust bunnies all over the place. There were spiders in the towels and used bars of soap in the shower. The chair that converts into a bed smelled of cat urine and there weren't enough sheets to cover it. With a lot of elbow grease, it would be a great place to stay. Without that, I can't recommend it."
2210299,17872035,2014-08-18,10168569,Joshua,"Tony received us well when we arrived at the monstrosity attic. The place is very clean and cozy and he includes many amenities and toiletries within the space (which was helpful, because I forgot to bring my shampoo!). As stated before, the attic is very clean and bright with good lighting and lots of storage. Tony provides WiFi,  The attic easily fits three people. The main bed, which is also a sofa and easily sleeps two.  There is also a futon to sleep on as well. Tony also has an Xbox near the TV which was yet another little goodie we had no idea he had inside. It's a perfect place to stay if you intend to explore South Congress because it is only about a 15 minute walk away from most of the shops and restaurants. There is a 24 hour grocery store called H.E.B. that is less that a six minute walk away near South Congress. You can also walk to 6th street, which is about 30-40 minutes away, but Tony also provides bikes if you prefer to bike there as well. Just be mindful of your head when standing as I bumped my head a few times on the roof due to the design, but to be clear, there is plenty of head room within the space. Tony himself was very helpful and answered all my questions and replied to any messages I sent him. He gave us suggestions as to were to go and how to get there in terms of nightlife, places to eat, and local microbreweries. I will definitely going back to Austin and staying at a location that Tony hosts again soon. This isn't the only location that Tony has and if you need more space, he has loft that is actually right behind this listing. If you intend to stay in Austin and want a quaint and cozy place to stay, the monstrosity attic is prefect for a small family, small group of friends, or a nice couples get away. Highly recommended place to stay!"
2210299,18153831,2014-08-22,2431347,Ryan,"What a wonderfully charming space this was! As a host Tony is very enthusiastic to provide his guest with any information he needed and he was quick to provide anything we needed in the space.
The attic is perfect. Pull out bed is comfortable, space is open and easy to breath, air condition works how it should and the neighborhood and location are the best you will find for the cost. 
Highly recommended for 1-3 people!
We will return!"
2210299,20191717,2014-09-25,17085048,Monica,"What a find! This place was a comfortable and convenient place for two people to stay while in Austin. Tony was a great host; he was able to accommodate our very late arrival and left us a few area maps and local papers to familiarize ourselves with. We had just driven six hours  from camping in Marfa and were exhausted and filthy, so having access to a shower and a washer and dryer was amazing! Being from San Francisco, we are used to small living spaces, the attic has a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living/ sleeping space.  I highly recommend this listing if you are any or all of these things: on a budget, don't need a whole lot of space, or if you plan on being out and about exploring the city most of the day.  Thanks so much Tony! We had a blast! "
2210299,21289280,2014-10-14,20741139,Caleb,"Tony was very welcoming. He showed us around and offered use of some bikes that he had on the property. The attic itself was clean and was stocked with plenty of towels and toiletries. 

Tony responds very quickly to email so if you have any questions or concerns I would reach out to him. Next time I'm in Austin I wouldn't hesitate to stay at the attic again"
2210299,21689928,2014-10-21,5350944,Emily,The attic was very nice and quiet. Great neighborhood and very convenient location. Tony checked in with me several times to ensure I had everything I needed. I would not hesitate to use the space again. Thanks. 
2210299,22086118,2014-10-29,10182112,Lauren,"We loved our stay in Austin at the Monstrosity Attic. Tony was extremely helpful and answered all texts/calls we made to him before, during and after our stay. The property is located in a great area, very close to south congress which makes getting around Austin extremely easy. I recommend the public transit Bus as it is very cheap and reliable. We loved how homey the space was. Lots of good light and air in the attic. We were able to use the kitchen a couple of times, also very convenient the HEB grocery store is so close by. Tony has animals on the property which is a huge bonus for us. We nicknamed the Siamese cat, ""vacation kitty"" as he came to say hello after he realized we would give him all the attention in the world. The animals are not disruptive at all to the stay and won't be in your way unless you want them to be. 
I loved the decor and art peices throughout the property. Very nicely decorated and well suited for the authentic Austic experience.
There are tonnes of food options within walking distance of the property as well.
This is a great quiet home away from home and I would reccomend to any couple trying to do Austin on a budget. We loved our stay and can't wait to visit again. If Tony is okay with this we will be staying here again. "
2210299,22534590,2014-11-09,13997002,Daniel,Great location in a great neighborhood.  We had an amazing time in Austin.  Very easy to find and easy check in.  Thanks again.
2210299,22985615,2014-11-19,12620829,Chelsea,"Unfortunately we did not get the chance to meet Tony. I believe he was busy with ""East"" a big art show held annually in Austin. The being said his description on the loft apartment was pretty much dead on! There was two of us staying there and we were so comfortable! The location was great, we were able to walk to most things we wanted to experience (and what we couldn't walk to was a short cab/urber ride away). The loft was a great home base. I would recommend checking it out! "
2210299,27648126,2015-03-09,9026782,Ashley,"Great place in Austin! I didn't speak with Tony in person but everything was as advertised. Great location for walking to the South Congress area, and a HEB close by was particularly nice for the few odds and ends and dinners we cooked. I should add we visited during some bad weather and woke up a few mornings to very loud bangs on the tin roof. We think it was the large tree dropping acorns onto us. Most of the time there wasn't a problem, but if you're a light sleeper and visiting during bad weather you may want to consider the property under the attic, also owned by Tony."
2210299,28463896,2015-03-24,22009238,Mark,"The place is in a quiet residential area just a couple of blocks south of the best of South Congress which is my favourite area in Austin. I stayed during SXSW, when finding accomodation is a nightmare, and the price was more than it is usually but not the astronomical ripoff that come places can be. Tony was very easy to deal with, everything was as described  and he was a text away if anything was needed. The place also looks better than the photos show.  There's a big supermarket around the corner, a fantastic Mexican restaurant (Habanero) is very close and there's loads of stuff within very safe walking distance.  Don't be fooled by the name, this is no monstrosity."
2210299,28685949,2015-03-28,14987046,Karen And Steven,"Our stay in Austin was fantastic, in no small part due to Tony and his excellent little attic space. It was clean, cool, and walkable to SoCo. We'll holler at him next time we're in town. "
2210299,29000280,2015-04-02,28376388,Adam,"Staying here means:
- easy access to grocery, transportation, some nightlife
- very quiet and comfortable
- kitchen with: pots, pans, utensils, cutting boards, strainer, dish rack, french press, auto drip.
- mini speakers to plug in music (but you won't need it with the sound of birds and leaves)
- Bill the Cat
- Best price for the level of accommodation. Better than hotel.

Staying at Monstrosity Attic was absolutely wonderful. Two of us spent 4 days in this spot situated under a dozen trees right outside of downtown Austin. 

It is the most equipped AirBnb place I've ever stayed - full kitchen, utensils, breakfast table, living space, work desk, and a nice shower/bath. HEB grocery is a walk around the corner so we cooked nearly every meal. Similarly, bus stops surround the house on Congress Ave as well as 1st St. 5 minutes travel put us at The Continental Club for jazz, tattoo shops, lots of food. Another 10 minutes down Congress the bus takes you to the Texas State Capitol and downtown. 

The space is oriented nicely and makes use of the interesting angles. Because it's an attic, the roof panels slant into triangle, and the arrangement of couch-bed, rugs, lamps, and coffeetable create space, framed by an amazing circular window. The entire space is very sunny and receives lots of breeze. Best of all, being above ground allowed for so much privacy we often kept the front door open. The place looks like the photos and exceeds the descriptions. 

Tony has done an AMAZING job and is wonderful to communicate with. Responsive, accommodating, and best of all has someone take care of the linens when you're done! Seems like a great guy. And it's an extra treat when Bill the Cat comes around to visit. 

The trip seriously makes me consider moving to Austin. "
2210299,29338915,2015-04-06,3263309,Kristen,"Our stay in the attic was nothing but delightful. 
This unique space is cozy and relaxed with an artsy flair
Tony and his other residents were extremely welcoming & 
the neighborhood is adorable and nearby to the happening Congress Street. Couldn't recommend this spot more. 
Thank you much, monsieur!"
2210299,29979478,2015-04-15,29002625,Von,"The Monstrosity Attic was quite amazing! It was the cozy, partially secluded spot we were looking for and still walking distance (10min or so) to 1st and South Congress. Tony made everything a breeze for us from the get go! I highly recommend this spot. All the neighbors and even the other guests from downstairs were so nice and helpful. We miss this place like it was our own! "
2210299,30892671,2015-04-28,1931680,Ian & Molly,"We had a great stay here. I wish it had a real bed instead of a slightly janky foldout couch, but otherwise it was ideal. Good location, well-priced, large, clean, air-conditioned. Thanks!"
2210299,31947690,2015-05-12,4376195,Jeremy,"The stay at Monstrosity Attic was great. Quiet and easy. Tony is a great and responsive host. We will definitely rent from Tony again in the future. The attic is a perfect space for 2-3 people in a lovely neighborhood that is within walking distance of restaurants, record stores and drinking establishments. All of South Congress and South 1st street is at your disposal without having to get in the car. Great location, great place and great host. Thanks, Tony. Looking forward to next time. "
2210299,33360869,2015-05-27,7433630,Zoe,"Tony was more than accommodating. The attic was clean upon arrival, complete with unique artwork and an assortment of magazines and guides for our stay. We had fresh towels and toiletries, and enough space for 3. Would highly recommend this cute space. Super close to decent restaurants and food trucks, and a 30-40 minute walk to downtown. "
2210299,33828161,2015-06-01,32786150,Erika,"Great place for a great price! Within walking distance of south congress district. Close driving distance to downtown and other fun places of Austin. Just what was described, pictures are very accurate. Quiet, clean, and a great place to stay for a few days. "
2210299,34543289,2015-06-09,7056454,Terren & Jimmy,Tony's place is perfectly located. We loved being able to drop back to the attic in between adventures/exploring the city since it was so central to everything. The pictures are accurate and Tony was very responsive and communicative. He made our stay in Austin a very enjoyable one.
2210299,34765104,2015-06-12,10336768,Matt,Tony was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Location is great with it only being a couple of miles from downtown and very close to many restaurants in the South Congress area. The attic apartment was very clean and comfortable. WiFi works best in the early morning.
2210299,35143965,2015-06-15,1312226,Jordan,"My friend and I had a great time at the attic. We comfortably fit on the two fold-out beds, had all the pillows, towels, and other amenities we needed, and, most important of all for Austin in the summer, it was very easy to keep the room cool!

The location was perfect for exploring South Austin. If you enjoy walking and can handle the humidity, you can make your way down South Congress, 1st, and Lamar Streets and even to Downtown. If you don't walk, everything was a very short Lyft/Uber/rental car ride away.

Though we unfortunately didn't have a chance to meet with Tony, he was always available by phone and would quickly get back from answers to any questions."
2210299,36217679,2015-06-26,5743156,Taylor,Perfect location!!!  I loved the attic!  Lots of space!  It was perfect for me while I was in the job/house hunt in Austin!  I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!!!!
2210299,39333412,2015-07-22,25108815,Christy,"The attic is a great little efficiency space, perfect for me as a solo traveler. Both Tony and Greg (who greeted me as I arrived) were incredibly friendly and helpful. The space was very welcoming, with simple-but-thoughtful decor (including Tony's own artwork), a little outdoor seating area, and a full kitchen.  I found the residential location peaceful, and convenient for exploring on foot and hitching rides via Uber."
2210299,40014073,2015-07-27,17178301,Cory,"Tony was great, everything was ready to go when I got there and exactly as described. The location was perfect for me as it was close to several friends and close to the bars and restaurants I visited while in Austin."
2210299,40838039,2015-08-02,1145051,Mike,"Host was informative with handoff, cozy location however frequent disturbances by other  people either just walking into house or knocking thinking they were in the correct rental location. Window unit and trees kept unit cool and unit was centrally located."

The place looked great, it was in an ideal location, and we will definitely return! Tony was helpful and prompt in his responses.. HIGHLY recommended!"
2210299,47182817,2015-09-16,41560666,Ruth,"The Attic was just like it is described and pictured. It's in an amazing location and the host is great. If you're staying in Austin for business then even in rush hour traffic I was able to get to work downtown in 10 to 15 minutes. If you're visiting for fun, then it's only about 10 to 15 minutes from Zilker Park and all the fun shenanigans downtown and near SoCo. Plus an HEB supermarket is within walking distance too. 

The host Tony immediately made us feel welcome and was very responsive to our needs and requests. He even offered us some unopened milk for my kiddos! Wow!

The only downside for my small family was that it definitely seemed like a Bachelor pad. I immediately wanted to clean the place up a bit, but when I mentioned it to Tony he apologized profusely and assured me that is not the norm. Also, just keep in mind there is no real bed here- just futons.  So if you're ok with that then this is the perfect place to visit when you come to Austin. "
2210299,49761016,2015-10-06,32675502,Grant,A good way to describe this stay/trip would be smooth. Everything was quick and painless and the directions/descriptions given by Tony were detailed and useful. He also called during the trip to ensure the stay was going to our satisfaction. Overall it was a great experience and Tony was most helpful.
2210299,50618165,2015-10-13,36354661,Christopher,The place was clean and set up nicely for when we arrived. Tony was extremely accommodating throughout our trip and was very accessible when we had any questions about the place or the surrounding area. We ended up having one extra friend stay with us for Austin City Limits and Tony provided an air mattress for additional sleeping arrangements. Very appreciative of the smooth stay we had.
5570822,31968228,2015-05-12,4435638,Carolina,"We really enjoyed staying at Duane's place. It's a nice house and the bedroom with the bathroom is very good. Location is convenient for hanging out in East 6th, only like  20 minutes walk, and the house is located in a friendly neighborhood. Duane was welcoming and communication with him was easy and fast. We recommend this listing to everyone! "
5570822,36833544,2015-07-01,3758593,Astrid,"Room was exactly as described and pictured. The private bathroom really is very convenient. Wifi worked perfectly. 
We went around by car so we don't know what public transport would have been like, but there is a bus stop close by the house. 
Besides that what added to our stay is the host who is friendly and easy to communicate with. Checking in and out was hassle free, the first night Duane wasn't home but he didn't mind us being in the house by ourselves, when checking out he gave us a list of things to do at our next destination. Thanks Duane!!"
5570822,37120854,2015-07-04,25327316,James,"Duane was a great host, very accommodating. His place was clean and in a great location! I will definitely look to stay again my next trip to Austin. Thanks!"
5570822,41036100,2015-08-03,38402658,Claudia,Room and bath were really neat and clean. Beds were so comfortable and cozy. There was plenty of room for our belongings. Duane is great at responding in a timely manner when you message him. We definitely felt comfortable here and would stay again. We were given our space and privacy but Duane and his girlfriend were readily available to answer any questions.
5570822,44081655,2015-08-23,41383,Jaime,Duane was a great host. His place was clean and comfortable and he made sure there were no issues during our stay. Excellent host. I would totally recommend staying with him.

Duane was a great host, easy and efficient communication with him.
I would definitely come back!"
5570822,51472215,2015-10-20,2902925,Joey,Duane made our stay so easy. Everything was prepared and perfect for us and he gave us great recommendations for eats and activities in Austin. 
4291414,28073613,2015-03-17,26104585,D,"Stayed here during SXSW. The house is small, but very nice. Had 3 guys staying here, which is fine if somebody doesn't mind sleeping in a bunk bed. Good proximity to downtown, but in a quiet neighborhood. The owners added a lot of small touches that were greatly appreciated (fridge stocked with beer, abundance of quality coffee for the coffee maker, mini shampoos and soap, etc.). Watch out for the little boy's amazing Lego sets... accidentally bumped one and had to channel my 12-year-old self to figure out how to get it back together again.
 "
4291414,28303982,2015-03-22,13482763,Andrea,"The place was great. Really good location with a lot of great restaurants to walk to. The neighborhood was beautiful, and the house was really comfortable. They were so thoughtful and left a basket of bathroom goodies that we may have forgotten along with a bunch of beer in the fridge, coffee and snacks. They really thought of everything. The back patio was a good little lounge area. Perfect spot for two couples or a small family to rent."
4291414,29874252,2015-04-13,30053903,Emily,"Cathleen and Greg were great hosts. The house was even larger than the photos seemed--with two people sharing a bed, it fit five people very comfortably. Cathleen and Greg also provided a lovely welcome package with helpful tips for the neighborhood. They were incredibly gracious with loaning appliances and amenities, and when we had a question they responded promptly. Highly recommend--thanks for a great stay in Austin! "
4291414,33156107,2015-05-25,32928286,Kendra,"- Staying at the McNelis bungalow was a very pleasent experience. Their house is the same as pictured in the listing. She added personal touches like a guest gift basket and bathroom products to be used.
 - I personally like staying north of UT. The neighborhoods seem pretty safe, quiet, and not a far drive from Austin activities. Plus, there are lots of restaurants easily accessible by walking or biking. I would stay at one their properties again. "
4291414,50507864,2015-10-12,44114659,Tommy,"Cathleen is a fantastic host. When we arrived there was a basket gift on the table with beer. Cathleen also provided us with a list of suggestions for restaurants, etc. Every suggestions that we tried was excellent.
The house was clean and had all the useful household appliances we could need for a 4-day stay. The house is located in Rosedale, which is a very nice neighbourhood by the way. It gave us another perspective of Austin. 
We greatly enjoyed our experience at Cathleen's place.  "
313973,1005725,2012-03-17,322699,Betsy & Cody,"Alyson is wonderful. She was incredibly accommodating and available during our stay. The private downstairs room is very private. A small desk to work at, a sitting area, private bath and private entrance really made us feel like we had our own place during our stay. We rented bikes and the ride from Alyson's to downtown Austin is gorgeous. The ride back has a couple hills, but if youre up for it, it is worth the effort. Alyson has great hospitality. I would stay with her again in a heartbeat."
313973,1013833,2012-03-18,1776748,Virginia,"     We had a comfortable, pleasant stay at the Lotus House for two nights during SXSW.  The private entrance, private bath, and giant bed were great. The snacks and water we found on our arrival were a thoughtful treat.  We were all busy coming and going to events but having access to the kitchen, sun room and living area was nice.
      Alyson was a welcoming host and her timely emails and calls made our arrival stress free."
313973,1280193,2012-05-14,1333485,Jenny,"Such a peaceful place. Clean, pretty, good dreams! Thank you, Alyson!
"
313973,1383831,2012-05-30,2269292,Clair,This was such a cozy place to stay! It's in a great part of town...close to so many fun things to do! It was exceptionally clean with tons of amenities.
313973,2864359,2012-11-12,3813787,Tabatha,"I stayed at Alyson's for the weekend to attend a workshop. The home was clean and inviting. Alyson was very friendly and offered advice on how to get around the city. 

I would highly recommend staying there. It was a perfect location for getting to know Austin and Alyson's house was so comfortable and had such a great vibe that I wish I had been able to stay a couple of days longer."
313973,4079289,2013-04-08,5367542,James,"What a great stay this was! Beautiful house, great common area and very clean. Our stay was peaceful here for sure, loved the location. Definitely would stay here again if/when I can return to austin. I recommend the room we had, it was downstairs with its own entrance and private bathroom. "
313973,10983259,2014-03-16,810836,Chris,Alyson and Max were great hosts. Their house is in a really safe and quiet neighbourhood. It's only 15/20minutes on the bus to downtown. It was perfect for our trip to sxsw. We would happily stay again!
313973,13494239,2014-05-28,11420583,Gerardo,Our Lotus House stay was very comfortable and our hosts were always available to help. 
313973,14163284,2014-06-13,14559959,Laura,"The reservation process was smooth and welcoming, with a lot of good information about local activities and dining. The room was very comfortable and private; the neighborhood is quiet, and street parking was easy to find. The location is very accessible to the wonderful Barton Springs and Zilker Park, as well as downtown.

"
313973,20823855,2014-10-06,18832343,Jennifer,"Alyson and Max's house is the epitome of Austin cool. Room was large and clean, and the bed was super comfy!  Stayed here for Austin City Limits and rode our bikes to and from.  Great location and great hosts!"
313973,21264975,2014-10-13,6862986,Robert,"My son and I stayed in this house to go to Austin City Limits.  The house was clean, the host (Max) was very friendly, and our stay was great.  It was a manageable walk to Zilker park to the festival.  The neighborhood is quite, and pretty.  We enjoyed our stay very much."
313973,22645985,2014-11-11,8998379,Tran,"This is my second time staying at the Lotus House, our first in this downstairs room.  As before, Max was very easy to deal with, our room very comfortable, and the house's atmosphere was open & relaxing. We got everything we needed and slept really well.  The bonus was the desk & printer for my hubby's computing needs.  This room was warm even on a cold November day.  We decided one morning to walk/hike to the nearby Barton Creek greenbelt (entrance behind the elementary school) - it's highly recommended!  Here are a few other fun things that we crammed into our 2-night trip: UT football game (they won!), dinner at Bouldin Creek Cafe, bike ride along LadyBird Lake (on the brand new boardwalk !),  movie at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on 6th St, breakfast at Taco Xpress, lunch at Stiles Switch BBQ (second best in town - if you don't care to wait in line at Franklin's/La BBQ for hours in the cold), hike at McKinney Falls on the way out of town.  No time for Yoga Yoga, I'll save that for my next trip!  I sure hope Lotus House will be available for booking when we come back..."
313973,26701819,2015-02-17,26911071,Natalie,"I'll start by saying this was my first ever airbnb stay, and I'm so happy with the experience. Max, who coordinated our stay, was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. He showed us around the house, had a welcome letter for us with some basic instructions and restaurant recommendations, and even had some snacks set out for us. The room was more than we expected, very comfortable bed, great speakers for playing some music, fully stocked bathroom with soaps and clean towels, and the private entrance was great for us since we were out late and didn't want to worry about waking others. We were mostly just at the house to sleep, the rest of our time was spent exploring Austin and looking at houses since I am working on relocating there. I chose this listing because of it's location (close to where I am looking to live) and it's phenomenal reviews. The neighborhood was great, so many restaurant options close by and Zilker park is just a short drive away. This room is a fantastic value. I'd highly recommend staying here and will be back if I ever need a place to stay in Austin again! (Also, I accidentally left a shirt of mine in the room, and Max was kind enough to mail it back to me)."
313973,27397675,2015-03-03,8998379,Tran,"Our flights to Texas got cancelled due to a snowstorm that hit the East Coast the morning we were supposed to leave.  I called Max and although their cancellation policy is strict, he promised we can stay next time for a minimal amount.  That's very kind of them.  We very much appreciate and enjoy dealing with good people like Max and Alyson. By the way, this would be the third time we stay at the Lotus House."
313973,28408424,2015-03-23,8925357,David,Totally satifying-great location and hosts who were easy to contact and very responsive-accomodation was very comfortable with all ammenities
313973,29916302,2015-04-14,27890195,Dana,"Alyson and Max's place was quite literally 5-10 minutes from everything we wanted to do in Austin!  The bed was large and comfortable, the bathroom was nice and clean, and the hosts were very accommodating.  We were very comfortable in our stay, and especially enjoyed our visits with Dear Prudence (the cat)."
313973,49777956,2015-10-06,40335712,Jeremy,"The room was very clean, the host made us feel welcome and we are incredibly grateful for finding this gem during Austin City Limits when hotels were charging 3x or more than what the host was charging while also providing a pleasant and unique space that included everything that you could ask for on a 4 day trip.  Thanks for opening your space up for us!!"
7937786,52774996,2015-11-01,12876455,John,"Location was great and the house is just as nice inside as it looks.  Cheap uber to Congress, Downtown, greenbelt, and majority of the downtown destinations you would want.  The description, however, fails to mention there is a downstairs apartment that is separate to this air bnb.  It was not a problem, at all, but it was a surprise as we could hear the people downstairs but only if you were in the living room. "
8001134,49573690,2015-10-04,2867148,Steve,"Homey is the perfect way to describe this house in a nice Austin neighborhood.

If you have a car, which I did, it is in a great location close to 45th and Lamar. The area has a couple of nice restaurants (Epicerie, Tacodeli, Pinthouse Pizza). When I was on foot, it was a 6 minute walk away from a nice cafe (Pacha) and a 10 minute walk away from a really unique bar (The Draught House). It was about a $10 dollar Uber Pool (on weekends) to downtown Austin. 

This listing is essentially the front 2.5 rooms of their house. The hosts are in the back portion of the home with a side exit, so it feels like you have your own space. 

The host and his wife obviously paid a lot of attention to detail. There is art on the walls, the house is well lit, and the furniture has a mid-century feel. From a more utilitarian perspective, there is a fridge, adequate seating, a desk, and a patio with rocking chairs. There were even a bunch of chocolate mints (which I assumed were fair game).

Thanks for being good hosts! "
8001134,50797285,2015-10-14,45227904,Cathy,"I recently returned from a great trip to Austin.  Scott and Terri went out of their way to make me feel welcome.  The house is adorable and the price was fantastic. So roomy, relaxing, and private.  I especially enjoyed my mornings on the front porch, enjoying the cool air before the heat of the day. I didn't have a car, but my daughter never had any difficulty finding a place to park when she came over to pick me up, drop me off, or just hang out.  Rosedale is a fantastic neighborhood. Scott and Terri thought of everything!  I would highly recommend this property."
1003775,5284583,2013-06-22,6878477,Gwynne,An excellent stay in a well-kept house! All concerns were immediately addressed and I had no complaints during my stay; I highly recommend Vicky as a hostess to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin.
1003775,5701469,2013-07-12,6878477,Gwynne,"Once again, an amazing experience at Vicky's place! I can't recommend her enough as a hostess or the house enough as a place to stay. I have no complaints whatsoever with her or the house, and never have. Please be nice to her when you visit, she definitely deserves it!"
1003775,6834394,2013-08-26,1887890,Jp,"You really can't beat this house in Austin.  Amazing location, comfy beds, Vicky was a great host, key-less entry, parking spot, and great kitchen and bathroom too.  Excellent.  I'd stay there again without a doubt."
1003775,7004042,2013-09-02,8329311,Eugene,"This place rocks!  Vicky has been an excellent host, providing tips about local places nearby, along with speedy responses via text message.  The house itself is extremely modernized, with wifi, cable, electronic locks, laundry machines, and air conditioning.  It's clean, very spacious, and the location is superb:  I came visiting from NYC, and felt right at home with a Homeslice Pizza less than a quarter-mile away, and a 24-hour Magnolia Cafe nearby.

The last thing I wanted to worry about was having access to things I needed.  The house is two blocks away from South Congress Avenue, which means access to cafes, restaurants, bus transportation, bars, barber shops, grocery stores, etc ...  It's close enough to many conveniences, and just far enough to have a quiet, good nights rest.  Throughout my stay, I really felt like I had control over my schedule, as all of these amenities were very close by.

I frequent Austin every quarter or so, and really look forward to staying here again.
"
1003775,7124084,2013-09-07,8257302,Mark,Great place to stay!  Very clean and well kept up!  I felt like I was at home the whole time I was there!
1003775,7407910,2013-09-18,8823609,John,"Wonderful house. Clean and comfortable, lots of space, and fast wifi. What else could you ask for? Vicky was a great host, checking in frequently to ensure I had everything I needed. Highly recommend."
1003775,7536207,2013-09-23,3688036,Miranda,"The bungalow is a very clean and comfortable place with everything you need and nothing you don't.  It's in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin, walking distance to TONS of great restaurants, shops and bars on South Congress and 1st St.  And Vicky was a fantastic host, ensuring my dad and I settled in well, though we never actually met her in person.  I would highly recommend this place and would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
1003775,8088252,2013-10-15,1923165,Jodie,"Vicky was fantastic to deal with and the house was amazing. It had every creature comfort we needed and was spotlessly clean. The location is in my favourite area of Austin - walking distance to so many of my favourite restaurants and cafes.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
1003775,8328886,2013-10-26,5580538,Iris,"Soco Gem! This house had every amenity we could ask for, including wifi, comfy beds, plenty of towels and bathroom necessities, all kitchen amenities, easy keyless entry and even snacks and breakfast items provided. Vicky was so good about checking in with us to see if everything was ok and if we had any questions, she responded immediately. The weather was perfect, so it was really nice sitting in the backyard, or on the front porch bench. Best of all, the location was perfect. Short walk to Soco and First streets with all the popular shops and eateries. Even my 92 year old mother, enjoyed the ease of walking to nearby locations. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting an at home feel while on vacation or even business. "
1003775,8411664,2013-10-29,9172951,Daniel,"This was my first experience with AirBnB, and if every place is as wonderful as Vicky's, I'm sold!  Most of the nicer hotels in town were booked for the Austin Film Festival, but this charming house felt like a suite at a boutique hotel.

Vicky was cheerful and responsive from the moment I made a request.  She recommended restaurants for me and my friends, several of which are 5 minutes from the house.  For those of you who are new to Austin, the house is in a fantastic neighborhood.  It's easy to walk to the quirky SoCo shops, and only a 5-minute drive from downtown."
1003775,8690978,2013-11-12,9187495,Declan,"We LOVED the house, and Vicky was an awesome host!  Breakfast in the fridge and beautiful flowers on the table made the house very welcoming.  Vicky checked up on us to make sure things were going well and was super helpful.  She was super accommodating with our schedule too.

The house is walking distance to so many great places - South Congress, a French restaurant, and Gourdoughs!"
1003775,8811903,2013-11-19,1948196,Emma,Vicky was an amazing host.  The house is very clean and well kept and in a great location. Would happily return to this property if we find ourselves in Austin again.

I would recommend this highly!"
1003775,9681742,2014-01-05,1380175,Heather,"My father and I stayed in Vicky's place for a week and really enjoyed it. It is well appointed, very cozy, and the perfect base for exploring austin from. Not to mention that Vicky is super responsive to any questions or needs you might have - and leaves treats in the fridge to make your stay more enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend staying here - its an easy walk to south congress and an easy drive to the farther reaches of the city. My favorite detail is that the beds are really comfy and great after a long day of traveling!"
1003775,10180144,2014-02-04,11040695,Bryan,"Vicky was great.  This was our first Airbnb experience, and it was even better than expected!  She left breakfast in the fridge, the house was clean, everything was working properly, and it was in a great location in South Austin.  Vicky was very easy to get in touch with, and recommended many great places in the area.  We'd recommend gelato at Dulce Neve, doughnuts at Gordough's food truck, and (email hidden)fe.  All within a few blocks of the house!"
1003775,10774843,2014-03-07,7030834,Cheryl,"Great house!  Absolutely perfect for us... can walk to everything, quiet night's sleep, comfy beds, very clean, even fresh flowers and nice treats in the fridge when we arrived.  Vicky is very responsive whenever she is needed.  Exceeded our expectations.  In fact, we liked it so much - we've booked it again later in the month!
"
1003775,10877501,2014-03-11,3157521,Alan,"Vicky was a spectacular host. My only regret was that I didn't get a chance to meet her in person and give her a big hug! 

We arrived to find her adorable bungalow in immaculate condition, with directions and a friendly note on the wall, and even breakfast food in the fridge! We couldn't ask for anything more. 

Vicky was extremely responsive and respectful in all our communication. What a delight. Highly recommend her. "

1003775,12548383,2014-05-05,13421489,Kendall,"Vicky was a wonderful host. She was great with communication and getting our request approved quickly. The house is quaint and clean in possibly the best SOCO walking location possible. It's close to coffee shops, art galleries, food trucks, shopping, great restaurants, live music venues, etc! There is a small private backyard area for morning coffee (which was provided, along with other breakfast essentials and snacks), free WiFi, and flat screen TV. She checked on us daily to see if we needed anything, which we didn't of course since everything was provided. Also no hassle with check in/check out or keeping track of keys due to key pads on the doors. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the SOCO bungalow. We will be requesting to stay again when we return to the Austin area in the future. "
1003775,12799207,2014-05-11,14295970,Nancy,Wonderful place in a wondeful south austin location. The owner was extremely helpful and provided plenty of extras like breakfast for the first day!  Highly recommend this cozy cottage.

Responsive and friendly and works with us in whatever we need.  Good to be back!"
4564343,24013158,2014-12-16,22903233,Bob,"     Lan was the perfect host. Very friendly and easy going. I felt very relaxed when I was there. Her place is clean and comfortable. The bedroom she offers is quite large. The neighborhood is quiet and safe....AND close to the best creative shop scene Austin has to offer, South Congress. Secure gated parking for use by guests.
     When I realized my GPS only had the Eastern states database in it she jumped in and research it and found, downloaded and installed the Western states (email hidden)ving an hour of her time. A very helpful and generous gesture!
     Just a great and reasonably priced place to stay in Austin.
          Thanks Lan!"
4564343,42009511,2015-08-10,1378603,Jawad,"Lan's place was perfectly located, the pool was also a big bonus. Everything close by. Lan did an outsanding job at helping us visit prime spots and locations. Very helpful and always in a great mood!

4564343,43839689,2015-08-22,7162302,Akash,"Lan and Michael's place is the perfect spot for a short trip to Austin. Uniquely decorated, close to the center of the city, and with extremely courteous hosts. I can't stress enough, Lan and Michael are excellent hosts. Enganging, intelligent and very accommodating. I'll definitely stay here the next time I'm in Austin!"
5372361,28094179,2015-03-17,3395225,Eric,"This home was fantastic and Gus and his wife were terrific hosts. Modern, comfortable and loaded with style, this place will not disappoint inside or out. A great place to call home for a few days with both colleagues or friends - and the golf cart was a ton of fun, too. Gus was exceptionally responsive both during the booking process and our stay. And the little touches like the snacks and refreshments they left for us show the attention to detail they have. A small thing, but very helpful, was the keyless entry which made check-in simple and I liked not having to worry about keys. Five stars all the way. My coworkers have already asked me to book the place again for next year. Book with confidence - just not when I want to reserve the place!"
4145599,25648650,2015-01-21,19339215,Frances,"Joey's home is incredible. An adorable, tiny, studio, perfectly decorated and tidy. She provided essentials and a very clean place to stay with my mom! I will certainly recommend for my next guests to stay at this studio! You should too!"
4145599,25912167,2015-01-29,963299,Reid,"this small apartment was pretty ideal for my little family. clean, stylish, quiet, safe, VERY cool location and a bargain as well.

Joey checked in via email halfway through to make she we had enough towels, tp and etc, a very nice gesture.

"
4145599,26078049,2015-02-02,23684354,Winston,"Joey was very accommodating and always available to answer questions.  She provided great recommendations to help us explore Austin better.  The condo itself was very cozy and comfortable.  Excellent cleanliness and everything we needed was provided.  Great location as well, within 10 minutes driving of Downtown Austin.  I would highly recommend staying here."
4145599,26092894,2015-02-02,6913875,Marissa,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4145599,26172618,2015-02-05,1966205,Tad And Sasa,"Really lovely place. It was in the perfect location for us as it was close to my cousin's house and his favorite coffee shop Caffe Midici on West Lynn. Neighbors were quiet, even the upstairs neighbor, so we were very happy about that. It was decorated really nice, love the carpet! Parking was easy, communication was great and she graciously accepted our reservation same-day within 5 minutes of the request. Too bad we didn't meet, but I understand as I rarely meet my guests with the different schedules!  We will definitely stay there again when we come back."
4145599,26261463,2015-02-08,13198479,Mandy,"It was such a beautiful place I was a little nervous to mess it up!  If you're looking for a calm, modern place in an established Austin neighborhood, this is it. We enjoyed the nearby restaurants and proximity to the lake. Joey was very kind and worked with us on check in. We loved her place and you will too!"
4145599,26329417,2015-02-09,3132099,Carolina,"The place is wonderful, we loved it. Perfect for two people, very cozy and comfortable. Joey has a really good taste for decoration, we felt like home. We couldn't meet her but everything was perfectly explained. We will stay there again for sure!!"
4145599,26467884,2015-02-13,25104309,Shannon,"Loved, loved, loved my stay! Joey thought of everything! The condo had everything I neeeded, from extra blankets to an iron. Great location in a safe neighborhood. Instructions to get in were clear, Joey was the best host!"
4145599,26754459,2015-02-18,7129382,Jake,"Joey's apartment was a great place to stay. Her unit is spacious and has all the amenities to make you feel at home. Her complex provides free parking, which is great when driving a rental and the neighborhood seems to be quiet and safe. The location is great and accessible to get on/off the interstate and it's close to downtown and a short drive to other destinations in the city. Overall, my girlfriend and I highly loved our stay at Joey's and highly recommend her affordable, cozy spot to any couple visiting Austin. "
4145599,26850496,2015-02-20,27536131,Hasan,"Joey and her space are both great.  We had to cancel our reservations at her place due to our dog sitter not being available but then at the last minute we found someone to watch him and Joey was very nice in allowing us to rebook our reservation.  

As for her space, it was clean, quiet and had everything you needed.  There were towels, plates, utensils and the best of all she provided a map and list of places she suggested we should take a look at.  It is perfect for a couple !"
4145599,27000675,2015-02-23,11697772,Korie,"What a great local place to stay. I live here in Austin but was looking for a closer place to stay near downtown with a friend. Not only did Joey make you feel welcome, she thought of everything. She even had little bottles of shampoo and conditioner. It's the little things that make for a great experience. Loved the studio, loved the neighborhood, and loved how close it was to everything. Great time!"
4145599,27143127,2015-02-26,26581020,Kat,"Fabulous!  Simply Fabulous!  This was the perfect location for me since I was working at the Capitol.  Joey was the best hostess.  We had bad weather potentially moving in and she was willing to assist with an early check-in if I needed to come earlier that day due to weather.  All worked out just fine.  Then she went the extra step to make sure I could get live streaming on my iPad to keep up with the news since there is no TV.  The place was spotless, convenient and felt like home.  I'm planning on returning soon.  Loved it!  Thanks Joey for making my stay so great!"
4145599,27721021,2015-03-10,26583435,Justin,"Joey's condo is a lovely place to stay in Austin. It is in a lovely quiet area with easy access to downtown Austin.  The apartment is very well kept and was spotless when I arrived.  The Wi-Fi worked well and was very useful. The facilities within the apartment are very good, and I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to anyone! "
4145599,28385463,2015-03-23,23091416,Bhinish,Joey's place was extremely comfortable and cozy - perfect for two people traveling in Austin. She was a gracious host and was quick to respond to any questions I had. Would stay again.
4145599,28870697,2015-03-31,26713299,Daniel,"We found Joey's place was perfectly suited for us: close to everything we wanted to visit (downtown, Barton Springs Creek, Mt Bonnell, Uchiko, etc), the murphy bed was comfortable and fun to setup (we left it down instead of putting it up each day), and there was a full kitchen which was very handy for us. This place is great for two people.

We felt very safe in the neighbourhood and there were beautiful houses all around which made for a nice evening walk."
4145599,29169560,2015-04-05,25894549,Laurel,"We had a lovely time in Joey's adorable little studio! It was exactly the size we needed to set up base camp and explore the town. Everything was comfortable, clean, and new. It was a bit of a hike on foot to reach the east side, but uber is a fast and cheap option to get around town if you are in a hurry. I highly recommend this cozy listing!"
4145599,29908910,2015-04-14,25331864,Anna,"Joey was very accommodating and had a lovely home. Super clean, in a fantastic area of town, and had everything we needed. We'll definitely be back. Thanks again!"

4145599,30859273,2015-04-28,26800457,Teresa,"Joey thought about everything someone might need while they stay at her apartment, except for a microwave (surprised there wasn't one).
She had water and condiments in the frig., different kinds of teas in the cupboards. Toiletries in the bathroom. Books and movies if you were staying in the apartment for any time. There was more things available but I really didn't take the time to look but if I make it back some day I will try to stay here again and maybe I will have a few extra minutes and I'll take advantage of some of her generous hospitality. 
I really liked the houses I saw on the street so when we left we drove down the street to see a few more. The neighborhood was very nice and quiet."
4145599,31934497,2015-05-12,342556,Lori,"Joey's condo was exactly as described. My husband and I stayed there for four nights and felt instantly at home. The condo is immaculately maintained and well appointed. We had plenty of room, even with the murphy bed down. There is a parking lot in front of the place which made it super easy to travel.  There is a bus stop close by but we drove everywhere and walked to restaurants on West Lynn.  We didn't get to meet Joey, but communication was very easy. I'd definitely stay here again. "
4145599,32454307,2015-05-18,25657954,Michelle,The listing and pictures were exactly the same when I visited! It was a great location and Joey was always fast to respond. I enjoyed her guidebook and was able to get to everything I wanted to go quickly and easily. 
4145599,33069046,2015-05-25,11757944,Caitlin,"Our stay in Joey's apartment was our first AirBnb experience, as well as our first experience in Austin and I can whole heartedly say we were nothing but impressed! Joey's studio apartment is nestled into an established Austin neighborhood filled with gorgeous old homes. It was within a 10 minute walk of a local grocer, local coffee shop, and numerous awesome restaurants. It was also within a 15 minute drive of everything we wanted to do in Austin, WITHOUT having to get on any major highways. The apartment itself was immaculate from the furnishings to the cleanliness. We had everything we needed and nothing we didn't! The Murphy bed was surprisingly comfortable, can say that we're missing it now that we're home :). Joey was very accessible even though we never physically met her. Stayed in contact, but wasn't overbearing in any way. When storms headed through during our stay she checked and made sure our power was on and if we needed anything she could be there for us! All in all our vacation in Austin was  the perfect weekend, and Joey's apartment really rounded out the experience for us! Let us feel like it was a home, and not just a room we slept in at night. Will definitely be returning soon! :)) "
4145599,33354557,2015-05-27,26903127,Jim,"Joey was great to communicate with before and during our stay.  Clear instructions, easy parking, great apartment.  Location was in a lovely neighbourhood, with a great deli within a ten minute walk.  The Capitol Building, which is a must visit attraction was a $6 Uber Taxi drive.  The bed was a Murphy bed, which basically folded into the wall as a space saver, but as the apartment is spacious, we kept it down throughout our stay. The kitchen was great with cooking fasciitis, plates, cutlery and a huge fridge.  All in all, a great couple of days.  Thank You...
"
4145599,33768298,2015-06-01,23611502,Patricia,"Honestly, my stay with Joey was an absolute dream. My friend and I took an uber from the airport to the condo, we weren't sure what the outside looked like so there was a little confusion with that. Once we were inside though everything was fantastic. Clean, beautiful, comfortable furnishings, anything you could possibly need. The location was also perfect for us, having the bus stop right there was super convenient. If you plan on staying in Austin (we didn't want to leave) definitely stay here! You won't regret it!"
4145599,42990443,2015-08-16,12609404,Camille,"Super séjour a Austin chez Joey, l'appartement est très joli, et Joey nous a rendu service avec gentillesse !"

4145599,44251561,2015-08-24,41005171,Kevin,This was our first time using airbnb and we loved it! She communicated extremely well. She provided everything that you would need for a comfortable stay.

4145599,45437856,2015-09-02,42620122,Kiesha,We had such a great experience. Everything was very clean and we were very comfortable. The bed was very soft and she provides all the linens and towels needed. You could tell Joey puts a lot of thought into her space and we will definitely stay again.

4145599,48003555,2015-09-22,1403471,Nathan,The place was exactly as advertised: quiet and cozy. The murphy bed was fun to pull out and very comfortable to sleep on! Thanks for hosting us!

4145599,49621793,2015-10-05,36305409,Ashley,"This was the perfect place for a weekend getaway in Austin! The location is extremely convenient. We didn't have to drive more than 20 minutes to get to any of the hot spots. Joey did an amazing job of making us feel right at home in her super cute place! She left us detailed instructions for everything, an iron, places to eat, all the little things that made our trip so much better. She even left us towels to use knowing we were going to ACL. All around great experience for our our first Airbnb stay. "
4145599,50752874,2015-10-14,33137649,Kari,"Staying in Joey's condo was a great first Airbnb experience! We were in town for ACL and it was super close and convenient. Most our Uber/ Lyft rides were between $5-10 including going to 6th ST, Congress, and Rainey St. Wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again if we make it back to Austin!"

5346781,52257614,2015-10-27,29769564,Fadi,"I would at a place owned by Dan any time I'm in Austin. He is a true gentleman and communities very well which gives you a strong sense of comfort that he really wants everything to go well on your stay. 

The house has beautiful wood floors and a nice kitchen. For those of you staying there in 2016, it looks like your experience will be even more upscale as he told us he will be doing a full renovation in a month or so.

Thank you, Dan, for a relaxing trip! Your house and the area are what we needed."

Beto was a great host. Providing us with everything we needed and more. Highly recommend this place !!! "

1641726,49539394,2015-10-04,32293298,Hasnain,"Had a great time at Beto's place for ACL! It was in the perfect location, maybe a 5-10 minute walk to the festival. The house was really cool, it had an old school, artsy vibe. There was plenty of room for the 6 of us staying there. And there were three parking spots making so we didn't have to worry about parking at the fest. I would definitely recommend this house for ACL or visiting Austin any other time of the year."

The room was nice, it was clean and it had everything you need. Julian was a great host, even though I never met him in person, he always responded very quick to my questions. 
Great stay, fully recommended.
(Bye the way, I asked him if I could book his place at about 9pm, the same evening I arrived, and it all worked out without any problems)"

Barbara made my husband and I feel very welcome in her extremely clean home! She also took a ton of time to email/text me in advance restaurant/music venue suggestions etc which was so helpful to us both in order to find the best places to enjoy our time in Austin!
I would highly recommend staying with her if you are interested in exploring Austin.  Do keep in mind, however, that you will need a rental car or use of Uber so that you can get downtown easily which is only about 8-10 mins from her home."

The house was clean and cozy with a lot of personality. It was a great place to come home after an exhausting weekend of skeeball national championships and it was a great refuge from the crazy storms Austin got hit by during our stay."

5361516,50294254,2015-10-11,9651655,Heidi,"Ryan was very responsive and the apartment has a great design set up. The location was not quite ideal as there is nothing walkable, so we had to call a Lyft/Uber often. "
5361516,50687813,2015-10-13,8820536,Karen,"Ryan was very responsive and easy to communicate with, and the area was similar to what I expected. I liked the modern design of the apartment."
5361516,51159491,2015-10-18,11293538,Andrew,Ryan's place is great.  Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived.  The apartment complex was safe. Our stay was exactly what we were looking for.
5361516,52195522,2015-10-26,40132616,Tommy,Ryan made sure that I got in okay and was really flexible on my arrival/check out time. The place was clean and appeared as presented by pictures. The area is easy to get to and has lots of stuff around there. The east side has lots of places to go to just north of his place and is easy to get to. Ryan was really responsive to questions sent via Airbnb app. 
5361516,52776214,2015-11-01,25376895,Ashleigh,"Ryan's place was great and he was a wonderful host! He made sure I had everything I needed and was always available for any questions I had. His place is very nice, updated and comfortable, plus, it is only a short cab ride to the downtown area. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
5413243,28638848,2015-03-27,7728055,Nick,Great host and cool place. Thanks Darren for an awesome stay in Austin!
5413243,28734465,2015-03-29,26053049,Sarah,"The cottage was great; great neighborhood, clean, and tons of natural light. Darren was pretty hands-off, which suited me perfectly. Would definitely stay again if I'm ever back in Austin."
5413243,28831549,2015-03-30,8595698,Craig,"Cozy place, good communication, nice goodies provided in Kitchen"
5413243,29320835,2015-04-06,29483370,Brett,"Darren was very responsive and made our arrival easy. The space was more than enough for my girl friend and I,though with so much to do close by, we hardly we're there during the day. Seriously, the location was beyond convenient. The access to downtown, plus amazing food and drink within a ten minute walk, made our stay fun and hassle free.  "
5413243,29717370,2015-04-11,30968103,George,"Great space, genuinely Austin. Darren is a great guy too. Very accommodating especially on such short notice (booked the space only a few hours prior to arrival), really had a good time for my wife's birthday. There were many small touches in the room that were thoughtful. Would be happy to stay here again."
5413243,29807804,2015-04-12,29067342,David,Darren was a super easy going guy. Place was super comfortable and clean. Very nice neighborhood and close to downtown. Also he has a very good selection of dvd's. I highly recommend his place!
5413243,30398049,2015-04-21,29384742,Nicole,The cottage is really cute and cozy. I loved how quiet it was and it was a comfortable size for 2 people. Darren was really nice and accommodating and extremely responsive. You're walking distance from a few eateries and bars. I had a car the entire time and it was conveniently close to downtown. 
5413243,30719111,2015-04-26,12738519,Michelle,"Darren was great.  We had everything we needed, and he was there with the key when we arrived.  The shower was great, and the location was ideal for what we had to do near UT. The wall units didn't quite get the place cool enough for me, but the bed was comfortable. "
5413243,31651628,2015-05-08,30786049,Justin,"Darren was out of town the day we arrived, but he made it easy for us to locate his home and get settled in. The listed amenities were accurate and the location is good if you want to get an authentic Austinite feel, but unfortunately the cleanliness of the cottage was not what we have come to expect from other BnB experiences... Maybe this was due in part to the recent rainstorms, but we definitely had insect issues. Darren did without hesitation modify our reservation upon our request."
5413243,50575709,2015-10-12,40644653,Charles,Darren was very welcoming. Everything was perfectly accurate with the listing. Cool little house in a nice part of town. We enjoyed our stay for sure. 
5413243,51958678,2015-10-25,11127325,Anna,"A great place and a great host! I was traveling while working and this little place had everything I needed. Darren also made it easy to locate and get in. I work odd hours so we didn't see much of each other, but this is a nice place to stay!"
8337250,47895437,2015-09-21,5990849,Brent,"Awesome experience with this apartment. The location couldn't have been better, the pool was amazing, and the apartment was immaculate. You can walk right down to the lake and walk along the raised sidewalk over the lake to a few restaurants and bars just down the street. It's an absolutely gorgeous place to go for a walk or run. Rainey street is just a short walk across the lake for some excellent nightlife. Definitely would book again. Highly recommended."
4955455,25614243,2015-01-20,22016096,Monica,"This was the perfect little spot to spend a long weekend in Austin! The bungalow apartment was clean and perfect size for myself, boyfriend, and 3 year old little puppy. The kitchen was really nice to have and Marilyn was a great host and left coffee and milk for us which I used every morning. 

The highlight of this place has to be the porch. Shaded under a beautiful tree is an awesome bench and tables/ chairs to enjoy the nice weather while sipping on coffee. 

The location of the unit is ~$6 Uber X to the downtown area. There's a footbridge around the corner which gets you to Zilker Park and the running trail along the water in under 10 minutes. 

A wonderful, quiet, safe, and convenient place to stay! Only minor inconvenience is that there's no outlet in the bathroom so I had to plug my hairdryer into the outlet just outside the doorframe. However, it want too far away so it still worked out fine.

A great place!! Highly recommend - also has a free parking spot"
4955455,27658357,2015-03-09,27172814,Candace,"Marilyn is an excellent host! My husband and I needed a place to stay near our wedding venue and the Clarksville Bungalow was better than we could've imagined.  The pictures do not do it justice. This is a cutest, most home-y place you could want! Our wedding was at Mayfield Park, where there are tons of peacocks, of which our host took notice because she left the key on a peacock key chain and left a note (with some bubbly) on peacock stationary.  Her attention to detail is greatly appreciated as seen in the peacock theme as well as in the fact that she knows a wedding means lots of make-up will be worn. She left me tons of make-up remover wipes!  The bed was very comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked. There were more than enough Kleenex boxes and toilet paper rolls; we did not run out of anything!  My husband and I decided that we want to stay at the bungalow from now on, every time we visit Austin.  Thank you for making our wedding weekend even that much more special!! "
4955455,28385024,2015-03-23,26064270,Allen,"We had a blast!  Perfect location and perfect setting.  Marylin was so gracious and thoughtful!  She was super helpful before, during and after our trip.  Can't wait to go back!"
4955455,31551244,2015-05-06,16450648,Pierrick,"The perfect fit! We couldn't have hoped for more when staying in the Bungalow in the trees: attention to details to make our stay enjoyable (aside from the great coffee, the flowers that appeared on the patio table were a nice surprise and a good match for our evening glass of wine), perfect location (we walked downtown as it was nearby), very welcoming hosts ready to assist you (or to leave you some space). The bungalow is impeccable, newly renovated, with a lot of storage space and relatively large for 2 guests.
We especially enjoyed the bed quality (firm enough)!
There's more to be said, but if you decide to visit Marilyn and Lex's bungalow, you won't regret it."
4955455,33361761,2015-05-27,422766,Joshua,"We had a great time at Marilyn's place in Austin. Very accessible via uber and the apt was super clean. She left us a few snacks in the fridge, as well as some Topo Chico - hangover water!  Apt comes with thoughtful amenities such as umbrellas, extra towels, tea, coffee, and (the worlds tiniest) TV. We are definitely game to stay there again!"
4955455,35378891,2015-06-18,3581993,Raul,"Marilyn and Lex were wonderful hosts beyond words! They prepared the beautiful bungalow for our arrival better than we could have done, including a baby crib. We were travelling with our nine months Raquel which didn't simplify scheduling and arrival. This didn't worry Marilyn who took all our changes with angelical patience and humor. She kept track of us from the day before (we drove from Houston to Austin) until she made absolutely sure we were to arrive safely. Her directions to find the house were perfect."
4955455,35808932,2015-06-22,33117837,Clark,"Had a wonderful stay in the 'Bungalow' for the a weekend. Despite some rainy weather, this place was truly an enjoyable escape and Marilyn obviously pays a lot of attention to cleanliness and small details that guests can enjoy. The available snacks, coffee, tea, and drinks were all very thoughtful. I would absolutely consider staying here again. "
4955455,43122169,2015-08-17,6004121,Oliver,"Marilyn had a great house. It was in a beautiful neighborhood that was super central but also very private. Loved our stay here. She was also very helpful in arranging our stay, would definitely stay here again."
4955455,44584803,2015-08-27,19741937,Arlo,By far the best experience I have ever had on AirBnb. Marilyn made me feel welcome from the beginning with little things and the unit was exactly as described.  A perfect home away from home while traveling in a quiet little culdesac of Austin near everything.
4955455,48688702,2015-09-28,33072793,Roberto,"Marilyn and Lex were great. I booked this place for my parents visit and they loved it. Marilyn asked before we arrived if my parents had some requests and she bought half and half milk, fruit and yogurt for them. 
The room was clean, with a great taste in its decor and with a cozy feeling. My parents couldn't stop talking about how great and comfortable the bed was. They also loved the terrace the room has. 

It was the first airbnb experience for my parents and they loved it. I have used Airbnb several times and Marilyn´s response was always fast and in the nicest way. 

Thank you Marilyn and Lex for your hospitality!"
4955455,50613230,2015-10-13,228992,Ida & Frank,"I've used Airbnb in the past and by far this was the best experience ever. The bungalow was perfect for us, but what made it extra special was Marilyn. She was a gracious host. She provided ground coffee, creamer, 2 bottles of soda water and bananas. Since we rented bikes & we were going to rely on Uber while we were there, she was kind enough to take us to the local mart to get additional items. 
Now back to the bungalow, it's nestled in a quiet neighborhood, away from hustle and bustle. It was less than 10 min away from Downtown, 15 min walk to Zilker Park, and close to local bars and restaurants. 
This was the perfect place for us. We nicknamed it the tree house. If we ever return to Austin, this will be our home away from home. "
179885,545353,2011-09-19,831946,Alex,"    Not only was Ray's home immaculate, but Ray was an awesome hostess as well!  She was very pleasant to communicate with. Overall, it was a wonderful trip. I strongly recommend this home to anybody visiting Austin. "
179885,999074,2012-03-14,773467,Dominic,"Can't fault Ray or her amazing house in any way. Really stylish place with everything you could need, lots of space, great garden and lovely friendly hosts.

Regular bus at the end of the street gets you into town in 15 mins too which makes it a great quiet spot to hang out in just out of the centre.

Highly recommended."
179885,10906133,2014-03-12,12113303,Heather," This house has a sweet, cool vibe and provides a nice base in South Austin - we accessed downtown using cabs and buses, but you could cycle too.

There are two decent bedrooms and the bathroom is clean, comfortable and simple. The whole space has a relaxed grown up vibe and we particularly like the outside deck for a morning cup of coffee or late night conversation (and hawk and woodpecker spotting). Perfect for two couples, particularly if being super-central isn’t a priority. Grateful to the owners for the bonus beer they kindly provided :)"
5105066,30689048,2015-04-26,29482239,Diane,"Our hosts reached out well in advance to give us necessary information as well as when our stay was imminent.   Easy to reach and she was able to give us great directions which led us directly to the property where she was there to greet us. 
The property was very close to our destination which was definitely a plus.  
Breakfast was wonderful with plenty of food for everyone!"
5105066,40702303,2015-08-01,33910670,Kelly,"The description and pictures were exactly what was presented. Lovely place, very quiet and serene. Gorgeous neighborhood.

5105066,50263556,2015-10-11,26343839,Daniel,"The owner was great in communicating every little detail, and we had lots of questions - navigating this stay for my daughter and her new husband. Beverly made sure everything went perfectly, and they loved their stay. They even saw the deer as they enjoyed their early breakfast on the back patio. Everything was perfect!"
8636107,50596389,2015-10-12,23310879,Darryl,"As a former Austinite, I always envied those living in east downtown. The house was very eclectic and spacious. The room was clean with a private 1/2 bath. Both roommates made me feel very welcomed and at home. Communication was excellent. I was able to come and go as I pleased. Location is very close to downtown and a few bars down the road. Neighborhood was quiet as it's the only house on the north side of the street in that block. "
8636107,52284696,2015-10-27,45919629,Alvaro,Ren had a very good communication and even offered his help to take us to the convention center.
2499376,49567954,2015-10-04,44429780,Danny,This house was perfect. The vibe was great and the Jill was a pleasure to deal with! 
2499376,50299145,2015-10-11,38970156,Lisa,Oh wow this place was a dream. Some friends and I stayed here over ACL weekend and it could not have been more perfect. Jasper and Jill were so great to work with throughout the whole process. They allowed us to check in early and even checked in with me via text when we got there to make sure we didn't need anything. They really helped to make us feel at home. Their house is spacious and modern and artistic and about a 15 minute walk to Zilker Park. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and would love to stay there again too! 
372254,1936629,2012-08-09,3139330,Paul,"Excellent place, can't wait to see what Jim does with the place, would be the perfect SXSW spot."
372254,2623348,2012-10-15,3778499,Ashlie,"Completely not what I expected, but in a GOOD way!  It was very open and quiet but close enough to Soco that driving was not needed.  The animals were a plus and the people that were staying there were also extremely nice and helpful.  Jim was a pleasure and I fully intend on staying in the future.  This is a great place if you are a camper like myself, just excuse the mosquitos, they were the only down side.  "
372254,22006540,2014-10-27,22822208,Kyle,"Had a real nice stay, rented a tent and got all the supplies we needed to sleep better than in a lot of hostels, nice people, recommend it!"

372254,29957729,2015-04-14,8300337,Matthew,"Great spot to camp. Jim O' gave me the tour right when I arrived. Everyone staying there was really great.  If you're in Austin looking for a chill place to camp, make a plan to stay with Jim O'"
372254,37674731,2015-07-09,4057647,Amos,"Fantastic place! The location manages this magical trick of remaining quiet and secluded while still being centrally located and incredibly convenient.  Truly the best of both worlds - and with the outdoor shower, kitchen and wifi you can enjoy the outdoors without having to rough it. Jim was very welcoming and helpful and everyone else I met was very friendly. The perfect place to stay when in town for festivals, long weekends  or just passing through. "
372254,38073339,2015-07-12,4057647,Amos,"Had an awesome stay! Jim was very accommodating and even allowed me to extend my original booking - great place all around, perfect for those who love the outdoors, are traveling on a budget or who are just looking for something a little different. "
372254,42041936,2015-08-10,24562653,Jeremy,"Great site. Very hospitable folks, and my daughters (ages 6 & 9) loved the goats and the chickens. An amazing experience!"
372254,49749957,2015-10-05,25969047,Mark,"What a charming little haven. We had a delightful time camping here, showering under the stars. Jim and company were warm hosts. Hope I can stay again next time I'm in Austin."
920038,28089444,2015-03-17,12309267,Soyoung,"Paul has warmly opened his house to us. It's very homely, quaint, beautiful and had everything we need. We were there for SXSW and there were 5 of us. The kitchen was great and we made dinner there, dining out in the garden. There was plenty of personal space for everyone and Paul also allowed us to eat fresh salad from the garden. What a wonderful and unexpected experience. Thank you!! "

Thank you!"
8255065,51917935,2015-10-25,43929930,Quinn,"My trip to Austin could not have been more relaxing and fun, thanks to Adam and Ike. Their condo is incredibly charming – just as shown – comfortable and organic. I had four other guests with me. We fit perfectly and had everything we needed. It was the best place to unwind. Adam and Ike made the process very easy. They had fantastic recommendations and everything was a quick walk or drive away. Their cat, Reuxxfis, is so sweet and self-sufficient. Highly recommend! "
8255065,52741950,2015-11-01,46176914,Christa,The place was so clean and hippie! Me and my girls absolutely loved it! Adam & Ike were awesome with responding to any questions I had and suggestions for fun places to go! These people and their condo is the bomb! Highly recommend! 
8311034,51050051,2015-10-17,5888744,Liliana,"Lacey's apartment was about as close to perfect as you could expect. The location was convenient and the apartment was immaculate.

The apartment is walking distance to ALL the attractions of South Congress. My boyfriend and I stayed at Lacey's for two nights. We explored a ton of the restaurants, bars, and shops. Including New York style pizza at Homeslice, burgers and shakes at Hopdoddy, Tex-Mex at Torchy's Tacos, browsed through Uncommon Objects and Allen's Boots. We also ventured to walk 20- 30 minutes to Rainey Street for more bars and live music. During the day we used our rental car to get to Lady Bird Lake where we joined a Kayaking tour to see the bats fly out of the South Congress bridge. 

The apartment was immaculately clean and looked better in person than in the photos. The real bed was clean, soft, and comfortable. Full sized fridge was convenient for holding all of our left overs from Franklin's BBQ. Bathroom had a large tub and shower with ample counter space for all my makeup and hair (website hidden) worked perfectly. 

Lacey was also very welcoming. She left us a list of restaurants and things to check out while in the area. I also enjoyed seeing her framed photos, made me feel like I was staying at a friend's place, even though I had never met her before. 

Also, checking in and out was super easy. She had a lock-box on the door knocker and e-mailed me the code. Overall, I felt really welcomed and very comfortable at Lacey's apartment. I highly recommend this Airbnb listing for anyone who's looking to have a fun and relaxing vacation in Austin.  




   "
8311034,51825793,2015-10-24,2961761,Wil,"I stayed for four nights at Lacey's cute one bedroom apartment in the hip South Congress area of Austin. It's also a 20 to 30 minute walk to Central Austin from there. From her window you have a spectacular night time view of the downtown skyline. All in all a great location. 
Lacey was the perfect host. It was easy to reach her, but because everything for my stay was so well organized we only communicated at check-in and checkout. 
Highly recommended.   "
8311034,52879128,2015-11-02,2047479,Krystle,"A very clean, spacious apartment in the South Congress neighborhood. Lots of top-rated eateries nearby. The Capitol and downtown Austin are just a few blocks away. The free parking was convenient, except over the weekend, when the visitor parking spaces were all occupied by dinner time.  Lacey is an organized, friendly host who responded very quickly to our questions and recommended great activities and restaurants for our stay. We highly recommend staying here. "
9041431,52034225,2015-10-25,47141845,Batoor,Extremely hospitable host. Very respectful and generous.  I will definitely stay there next time.

Her brother showed me around, and another roommate was very hospitable and friendly."
694315,27179507,2015-02-27,2941668,Tom,Karen's place was immaculate - even better than the pictures. A very clean comfortable living space for me and my partner. We stayed there for about 2 weeks and loved it. It's in a great location a few minutes walk from the action on South Congress.

321675,5559913,2013-07-06,1985394,Katrina,"My husband and I rented James' house for a 4th of July party right before our wedding.  It was a beautiful house with a great deck that could accomodate our friends and family.  We had a nice view of the fireworks too!  Our guests had a great time grilling, taking a dip in the pool and just hanging out.  I would consider doing this again next year."
321675,5629493,2013-07-08,778372,Chesarae,"Awesome place, great host! Very conveniently located $12 cab ride to 6th. James was quick to reply to any questions I had! "

321675,32972607,2015-05-24,27317238,Geoffrey,"I had a group of 10 that had a great time renting this house. James was a fantastic host in every way. We arrived to an already steaming hot tub and well maintained pool, as well as stepwise directions for using the sound system. The house is only a short 10 minute uber/cab to downtown and west 6th bars. All in all, a great place and location and I would definitely rent again."

He answered all of our questions (and there were a lot of them!) and showed us nothing but kindness and good hospitality. We had a large group of girls renting during ACL weekend, and we had such a blast in this beautiful Austin home! the was a comfortable place for everyone to sleep and enough bathrooms to accommodate 8 girls! 

James let us have what we want in the fridge and we cooked one of the nights in the beautiful kitchen. The house was overall very clean, comfortable and homey. They styling was very cool and very Austin-proud! All of the girls loved being there all weekend and even wanted to ""go back to the house' instead of staying out at the bars one night. 

The hot tub looked out over the city and was a welcome respite after a day of music and fun in Zilker park. The neighborhood was pretty quiet but everything was a quick drive away. We walked back home from the festival on one of the nights so it is definitely doable!

5384959,32301244,2015-05-16,31157133,Rachel,"Good place, clean nice host"
5384959,32935756,2015-05-23,32016596,Cecelia,"I cannot recommend this place. It was unclean, the bathroom hadn't been cleaned before my stay, food particles left overnight in the sink and on the floor, and the hosts made little effort to make me feel welcome or comfortable. The photos were outdated and there was no disclosure about a baby in the house.  I terminated my stay early with the help of airbnb because the situation was unbearable."
5384959,32952181,2015-05-23,34010507,Sarah,We needed a place at the last minute and Matt was very accommodating! Their place is great. Safe neighborhood and friendly hosts! Matt gave us some great tips on outdoorsy things to do while in town! 
5384959,33211387,2015-05-25,18367355,Kevin,Matt was a great host! He was VERY responsive and communicated well during the entire process/stay (especially since I was new to Airbnb). He made us feel very welcome from the beginning and we never had any issues.  We were going to spend most of our time on 6th street and this house is only about 4.5 miles away so it was a very convenient location. The neighborhood is ok and we parked our car in the street without any problems. It was a great comfortable place for afternoon naps and to crash at night.
5384959,34824563,2015-06-12,4954290,Mike,"Matt and Amanda were great hosts. They were able to accommodate a same day booking, and were friendly and communicative for the duration of my stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and they provided clean towels/linens, as well as laundry and kitchen stuff whenever I needed. They're both warm and funny, and their son is totally adorable. I look forward to keeping in touch with them. "
5384959,35185013,2015-06-15,4954290,Mike,"I had a great experience staying with Matt and Amanda, so I even wound up extending the reservation. Highly recommended."
5384959,37805060,2015-07-10,524280,Paul,"Matt is a laid-back chill host and was nice enough to let me check out a day earlier. The place itself had a few quirks: say, bathroom was on a different floor (might not be super-convenient). There's a power line near the house (not on the photos, but to be fair AirBnB doesn't require photos outside of the room). I think Matt could improve by keeping the living room/kitchen areas a bit cleaner. Also, the photos were out of date: unfortunately, there was no desk in my room. Overall, good place although could be kept a bit better and be more accurately described."
5384959,38873933,2015-07-19,27923499,Ashton,"I really enjoyed my stay at Matt & Amanda's place! The place was accurately described on their page - they are a working young family so I expected to stay in a place that would reflect that. The air conditioning was nice, the private bathroom (though not on the same level which was fine) was clean and always hot water. I felt very safe in the community and it was a short lyft or uber ride away from downtown. The bed was also SO comfy! :) Thanks again for the stay I hope I can come back! "
5384959,39716598,2015-07-25,38949991,Christine,"They were very nice about making sure I knew how to get into the house,  despite the fact they both got delayed at work.  I also loved their cats immediately. 
Everything was as advertised. The room was clean,  the bathroom was amazing,  and I felt like I was completely welcome.  "
5384959,46569627,2015-09-11,30471545,Michael,"Was nice, good conversation. Easy and flexible for last minute. Bed was very comfortable, bathroom was clean and updated. "
5384959,46847443,2015-09-13,6763240,Gregory,Matt was a great host and the place was as listed. Great value and very cool people.
5384959,47885197,2015-09-21,44043856,Paul,"The host was very accommodating for my visit.  They had an emergency, but provided good instructions to access the property.  My visit was short so it was not clear the type of area it was located.  However, there were people outside the premises who were up late into the night.  "
5384959,48158897,2015-09-23,1317293,James,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

5384959,51239827,2015-10-18,37797828,Bond,"Matt was very warm and accommodating host. Communication was clear and easy. I really appreciated access to washer and dryer, and home was clean, with two sweet friendly cats. I enjoyed the coversation and connection, recommended."
5384959,52145511,2015-10-26,21285589,Alex,"Had an amazing stay in Austin with Matt. Beautiful home minutes from the Circuit of the Americas (where I spent most of my weekend). Had a quick chat when I arrived over pizza, Matt definitely made it feel like home. Would love to stay here again the next time I'm in town!"
5384959,52383749,2015-10-28,22693591,Hunter,"Matt's flexible check in and out times were super helpful for me, and he provided me with a quick rundown of my accommodations in the house. The house was moderately clean: not tidy, but not grimy either; Matt has a couple of cats running around. As far as communication went, he was immediately responsive. However, he did not let me know ahead of time that their Internet was out during my stay. Internet is one of my big points when searching for a place to stay so it was an inconvenience that I was not warned ahead of time instead of having to ask in the first place.

All in all, it was a nice place to sleep at night, but I don't anticipate staying here again in the future. Worked great as a place to book last minute though, especially for the price."
5384959,52907747,2015-11-02,35920523,Franklin,This was a great experience. I came back to the house very late and left early and Matt was more than accommodating. Accessible and clean. Matt even gave me a ride into downtown one day so I wouldn't have to take an uber. Super grateful.
2198261,11012361,2014-03-17,8677192,Mark G. And Elaine/Dante/Ian,"Where to start...this place was absolutely stunning and worth every penny we paid to stay. The apartment was just as we had expected from conversations and pictures that were supplied. Very clean and super home feeling. The beds were temperpedic and extremely comfortable. The tree is a brand new complex and may I mention with a phenomenal pool as well. It's close to dtown and many cool attractions! Blaine and Erin were wonderful hosts and super fun!!! They had the house prepped and ready for our stay from printed instructions to great places to eat, local activities and of course where we needed to site see. They were so kind as to stock the fridge for us before our arrival and were open to anything in their home. 
I also travel with a service dog and they aloud me even though they didn't except pets to bring him and trusted me with the care of there home.  Overall I would stay here again and would recommend this place highly for your Austin stay!!!! "
5096161,28113413,2015-03-17,29345427,Brendan,"Erin and Brad are awesome. The house and garden were really relaxing, the bed was very comfortable, we had some great conversation and they made me a delicious bunch as well. I'd come back to stay again for sure! Perfect hosts. Plus, their two dogs are super sweet and there are peacocks in the front yard. Thanks for a great stay!! "
5096161,28155725,2015-03-18,29345427,Brendan,Decided to stay a third night! Great experience (see my previous review).  Would come back to Erin and Brad's in a heartbeat. 
5096161,28269529,2015-03-21,27568166,Sean,"Brad and Erin were amazingly hospitable and accommodating.  Erin answered all of our transportation questions and made sure we had everything we needed.  No problems, complaints, or issues --- I'd definitely recommend this listing!  Clean bathrooms and fresh baked scones with delicious coffee were big plusses.   "
5096161,28758517,2015-03-29,28288539,Kendall,"My friend and I needed a place to stay for the night. Brad and Erin's was perfect! It was simple and clean, providing all that we needed. It's not a five star hotel, not the place if that is what you want, but it was relaxing and just what I wanted. 
Erin was very helpful when asked for suggestions on places to eat and things to see. Coffee in the morning was given to us on the platter, and hit the spot. Her two dogs, particularly the little one, were adorable and very polite. Overall great place, great people, would stay again! "
5096161,29242476,2015-04-05,30442573,Orfa,"This was a great little space to stay for a weekend trip. Wonderfully decorated home, clean bathroom, and cute pups. French-press coffee served in a platter is the perfect way to wake up to after a long night (thanks Erin!!) Both Brad and Erin were knowledgeable about great places to check out & eat. Super friendly hosts, overall two thumbs up."
5096161,29877929,2015-04-13,6957614,Karlee,"Brad joe and Erin were absolutely amazing hosts! They welcomed us into their house, gave us tons of suggestions on where to eat and what to do. We got along so well we went out together for drinks and dinner. Brad joe and Erin are great people. The house was perfectly located In A quiet area just a short ride from downtown. The dogs were a nice bonus also, considering I'm a dog lover. I honestly couldn't of had a better experience. 
Thanks for the fun!
Cheers!
Karlee"
5096161,30417289,2015-04-21,2233027,Delphine,We had a wonderful time at Brad and Erin's. They are lovely people and staying with them definitely added to our Austin experience. Their place is very cute and beautifully decorated with vintage finds. They were great to talk to and had really good recommendations of things to do in the city. We felt very welcomed and loved hanging out with the dogs too. The peacocks on their street add a very exotic note. One of the best AirBnB experiences we've had so far!
5096161,30828173,2015-04-27,211866,Isabel,Erin and Brad Joe were great hosts! We enjoyed our comfortable stay. The place was centrally located. We had a rental car and were able to get to most places fairly easy. We arrived earlier than expected and Erin was ever so nice to let us in to drop off our luggage. 
5096161,31976504,2015-05-12,15898311,Elise,"Our stay started out charming and welcoming and although we quickly ran out to catch a show, we came back to a nice comfy bed and quiet room. When we awoke we were delighted to be greeted by their adorable dogs jumping into bed with us and out in the yard, while peacocks roamed. Brad Joe and Erin made us french pressed coffee and frittatas and chatted about the music scene and weather. They sent us off with a list of wonderful places to go and things to see. They were the perfect hosts and made our stay in Texas even more extra special. If we had stayed at a hotel or any other place, my heart and soul wouldn't have been the same. Because of their amazing hospitality I have seriously considered relocating to this beautiful area. I wouldn't have changed anything at all about my experience, Thank you so much guys, we WILL be back! "
5096161,33001188,2015-05-24,22825492,Hương,"My boyfriend and I had a very good time here, although it was pouring. We love our room. Very neat and clean. Their dogs are really fun to play with. I had a great talk with Erin. She gave us so manh suggestions for restaurants and what to do in Austin. I would definitely stay here again. "
5096161,34301374,2015-06-07,22724543,ALex,"Brad and Erin did a wonderful job accommodating us two weary travellers. We felt very much at home and eased into Austin at our own speed. Great town, good people, definitely going back.  "
5096161,38505713,2015-07-16,10876532,David,Erin was very helpful and made great recommendations for things to see and do around Austin. Room was basic and comfortable. Room was a bit warmer than we would have liked at night but with a fan it was not too bad. Great central location. Overall we would recommend staying here.
5096161,39078582,2015-07-20,14227357,Nancy,"Brad Joe and Erin were very hospitable and knowledgable about the area.  Full of recommendations and accommodating. Dogs were so sweet and loving. The location was perfect; it's in the middle of everything! We visited Mueller's Park, In-N-Out, Sawyers & Co, Freedmen's BBQ, Shake Shack and Hopdoddy's. Erin worked with our schedule and offered us drinks daily and made us coffee. YUM!!! Thanks again to both of y'all!!! "
5096161,39985633,2015-07-27,4196893,Nicole,"Brad and Erin have a cute home in a great location in Austin.  They were warm and welcoming, and gave my boyfriend and I great suggestions on places to check out while we were there.  Breakfast tacos at Tyson's are a must!  We had a great stay, 10/10 would recommend!  "
5096161,41783327,2015-08-09,36823467,Gwen,"What an excellent first Airbnb experience! (and I hope I find the right words to describe it all)  The neighborhood is beautiful and eclectic, friendly & safe--easily accessible to the many pockets of Austin (also on a bus line!)  Erin met us curbside to greet us when we first arrived--a major plus: they accommodated our dog who quickly made friends with their two very friendly pups :)  and we just *loved* their dogs! Their home was lovely and warm (as in ambiance! not temperature), with lots of character and charm of an Austin bungalow.  They set us up in a very cool and comfortable guest bedroom with a pretty garden view--everything as described!

Erin and Brad Joe were really wonderful hosts--very personable, open and laid back people--we enjoyed both their company as well as their hospitality during our short weekend in Austin.  We had a great time talking with them over morning cups of coffee and just watching the dogs play in their garden!  They both had great suggestions for places to grab a bite to eat, where to explore, and on our last morning, Erin and I even took the pups for a walk together to the local park.  It was a very positive experience for us and we'd love to stay here during a future visit to Austin!"
5096161,42983697,2015-08-16,30601639,Leroy,"Erin and Brad were  really great hosts that made us feel like we were visiting family for the weekend. When we arrived Erin showed us the house and the neighborhood; we took the dogs for a quick walk, visited the bike trail and looked at the peacocks. Erin gave us a ket of keys and we were set! On Sunday morning Erin prepared coffee for us, we chatted for a while while sitting at the dinner table and playing with the dogs. Overall this was a very pleasant experience and we highly recommend this place."
5096161,44980790,2015-08-30,13278559,Megan,Erin was prompt at answering messages before arrival. She gave us our key when we arrived and gave us a brief run through of everything. I loved the house and the centrality of the location. The neighborhood has peacocks running around it! And it's also within walking distance of food trucks and a Farmers Market on Sundays. The decor is retro and really unique. My boyfriend and I enjoyed sitting outside on the backyard patio under the string lights that were connected from the tree to the house. Brad Joe and Erin were very kind and hospitable. I'd definitely recommend them to any friends traveling to Austin!
5096161,45876801,2015-09-06,31715611,Tony,"We had a great time at Brad Joe and Erin's home. Very welcoming. Very clean. Very friendly. 2 dogs, both very friendly "
5096161,46743471,2015-09-13,23072308,Ann,This was our 1st Airbnb experience as guests and it was FANTASTIC!! Brad & Erin are super welcoming and accommodating and their bungalow is comfy and was perfect for our purposes. We were there for a Longhorn game and it's really close to campus. We've stayed at hotels in the past had to deal w/rowdy noise after the games all around us afterwards and lots of traffic when we've stayed further out. This was ABSOLUTELY a better plan and we are looking forward to staying with them again next month! That give incredibly good tips on where to eat and if you're missing your pups while you travel this Airbnb comes complete w/2 adorable doggies! :) 
5096161,47830897,2015-09-21,43729746,Zachary,"Brad and Erin are dynamite hosts. Their home is lovely, their pups are lovely, and they are lovely. And there's an agave plant in the front yard that's so big you won't believe it. And peacocks! There are actual, beautifully colored, rainbow colored, walking around the neighborhood like they own it peacocks! Come for the bed. Stay for the peacocks. And the pets. And the totally gracious hosts. (Thanks, guys.)"
5096161,48447455,2015-09-26,1444565,Lauren,"Erin and Brad Joe really made me feel at home in their Garden Bedroom.  They really take pride in the space, and it showed - plus they were helpful in ""re-orienting"" me to the ever changing Austin.  As an added bonus, I also got to see a peacock in the front yard!"

Desde el principio Erin nos hizo sentir bienvenidos y nos apoyo con todo lo que necesitamos. La casa esta localizada en un vecindario muy tranquilo y con excelente ubicación. Erin estaba al pendiente de lo que necesitáramos y respondía a nuestras dudas o mensajes. Las fotos son tal y como es en realidad. Si volvemos a Austin, definitivamente es un lugar para regresar con Erin y Brad. Muchas gracias y si visitan la ciudad de México, no duden en contactarnos =) Saludos y un fuerte abrazo!! "

They went above and beyond to make sure my friend and I were comfortable at all times. They also know Austin very well and have awesome recommendations on where to eat, shop, etc. They are such generous, kind, smart, environmentally conscious, cool, interesting people who have created a true home in every sense of the word.

5096161,51894355,2015-10-25,23072308,Ann,"This was our 2nd stay with Brad, Erin, and their 2 cute pups---it was even better than the first stay! We like trying new places, etc. but it's also nice to stay where you already know the people are warm & friendly and the location is super convenient. Perfect proximity for us to get to the Longhorn game and back w/o traffic hassle or rush! Erin is full of great foodie place tips and they always have hot coffee and tea ready for us in the morning. Highly recommend staying with these good people! "

4454431,27354051,2015-03-02,1991868,Jim,Perfect for our purposes. Bunks for 4 plus a king sized master bedroom and two couches for sleeping were more than enough for the 6 of us. Everything was clean and functional. Neighborhood was quiet and readily accessible.  Would definitely rent from Matt again. 5 stars.
4454431,28087590,2015-03-17,4250624,Katie,"Matt is so awesome - super communicative and welcoming! The house was clean, conveniently located and fun! Perfect for our purposes. A short uber ride to downtown. Easy to run to the hike and bike. Thanks Matt for a great experience in Austin!"
4454431,30307825,2015-04-20,9572791,Maria,"Matt's place was very cute and nice. We absolutely love it, however we had a few issues. When we arrived all the windows were open which caused bugs to be in the house, not a lot but enough to catch our attention, and I am assuming since the windows were opened the house smelt it bit funny. But besides these two issues the house was great for the occasion.  "
4454431,30797416,2015-04-27,10974815,Roshan,Great place and Matt was super helpful with suggestions. We had a great time and would stay here again!

Matt and his home saved the day!  Even though he was out of town, he was able to get his housekeeper over there and things were ready for the guys' arrival.  The location was great; it accommodated all 8 of them; and the guys loved it.  Thanks for bailing me out, Matt!"

4104747,28374459,2015-03-22,2724699,Tita,This was exactly the space we needed for our adventure at SXSW. Everything the host mentioned on the ad is exactly what you will find. I have no complaints at all and I would love to return to this house if needed when I come back to Austin. Very happy ! Thanks Ryan! 
3293042,14656810,2014-06-23,1795483,Erin,"This little house (converted garage apartment) was a fabulous place to stay for my weekend in Austin.  Barton Springs is only a 20 minute walk, the neighborhood is quiet, and Rick is super friendly.  Any time I had a question, he was quick to help make my stay fabulous.  I would love to stay here again on my next visit to Austin!  S Lamar and 1st are so much better than S Congress!  :)"
3293042,15378451,2014-07-07,3303052,Katie,"Rick was out of town during my visit, but he was still extremely kind, helpful and easy to reach.

The space is terrific. It was just the right size for my two friends and I to crash for the night, although I could definitely see comfortably living here for a longer stay. Everything is super modern and super clean. For those looking to relax at the house, the yard is spacious and welcoming. And for those ready to go out on the town, the location is conveniently close to the neighborhoods and attractions we wanted to visit. 

Can't recommend this space highly enough, and I will definitely contact Rick when I'm planning my next Austin excursion!"

Super easy to work with the host and he was available for any questions.  The pictures give you a good idea of the space.  Not cramped at all.  Location! Zilker is such a nice area.

It was their first experience with Airbnb, and they loved it. Great location, great space and Rick made it easy for them to show up and start enjoying the 78704. "

There's a market walking distance, a ton of places to eat at on Lamar, and 6th Street/South Congress is not that far. We had a huge airstream trailer and we had no trouble finding street parking for it. Thank you for your hospitality! Everything was great! "
3293042,20495166,2014-09-30,3444635,Maureen,"The house was decked out in little touches to make it feel like a resort hotel. Wine, coffees, tea, beach towels &  tote, hair dryer... The decor was tasteful and lovely. 
Rick & Kyrsten couldn't be nicer. The neighborhood is the best in Austin. It was harder to come home from this vacation than any other I've taken... I wanted to stay forever. "
3293042,20593586,2014-10-01,19314951,Andrew,"Rick was awesome! We were traveling to Austin from Santa Fe and had very little reception the entire drive, so ended up getting into town late. Rick was very accommodating, left the house unlocked and available, and communicated well by phone.
 "
3293042,21879159,2014-10-26,10397165,Emily,"Rick's place was cute, clean, spacious and dog friendly (mega-plus!) It was quiet and the bed was super cozy and having access to the side yard for the dogs was great. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Rick! "
3293042,22091570,2014-10-29,6178628,Andrew,"The house was exactly as described. , Rick was friendly and helpful,  I would highly recommend!"
3293042,22671076,2014-11-11,16759896,Annie,"We had a great stay here! The apartment was very clean and spacious, and in a great (email hidden)ce quiet street, close to a laundry and corner store, as well as a walkable distance to auditorium shores for music festivals etc. (Took us about 25 minutes but an easy walk). Also close to a shop which will hire you bicycles, which we recommend - it was great fun!
We had three of us stay, very comfortable for us all. 
Thanks again! "
3293042,23102490,2014-11-23,8640832,Joshua,"Nice, quiet clean guest house. The lighting in there wasn't great, but we weren't spending much time there so it didn't matter.

Never actually saw the host, but written communication was thorough enough that we didn't need to, which I thought was a good thing.

I'd rent it again."
3293042,23494897,2014-12-02,12293223,Roger,This is a great place! Very comfortable and convenient to great south and central Austin locations. The apartment was clean and quiet. We also loved walking around the neighborhood. We would definitely stay again.
3293042,24643498,2015-01-01,10585938,Matt,"The Zilker Experience was just as expected! Incredibly convenient keyless entry with a generous assortment of clean towels, bedding, and even some leftover snacks in the kitchen. The hosts seemed to be out of town when we were there, but we had no trouble at all. Would recommend!"
3293042,26223533,2015-02-07,11395446,Arin,"Rick was a great host! The place was perfect and was in a great area. Everything was extremely professional and clean. He was readily available to help with anything and everything. The apartment also came with a bunch of suggestions regarding things to do/places to eat. Would recommend ""The Zilker Experience"" to anyone visiting Austin."
3293042,26474427,2015-02-13,27532710,Cindy,"My granddaughter called the guest house our cottage.  We had a good experience, perfect for what we needed. It was very convenient for us. Rick was an exceptional host, very good at communicating. Any little question I had he answered right away. Would definitely recommend the Zilker Experience!"
3293042,26668806,2015-02-16,27791892,Kristin,RIck was very responsive and and  accepted our last minute booking. Nice little place.
3293042,26914591,2015-02-22,25500655,Jordan,"Rick and the house were great! It's in a perfect location, an easy 10 minute walk to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. This is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and a 10-20 minute walk from most things. The house was a perfect size for my partner and I - we enjoyed reading in the Adirondak chairs in the yard. Everything was as described, and when we had an issue Rick was super responsive and easy to work with. 

Highly recommend!"
3293042,27545806,2015-03-07,22814239,Lisa,We really enjoyed staying at Rick's guest house. I had already been on the road for a week and it was nice to stay in a nice clean home. The park near by was a great bonus!
3293042,27622928,2015-03-08,21981843,Tim,This place was great! Perfect quiet small and simple. You get all of the amenities you have at home and all the privacy you could ever want. I didnt realize this listing was for a garage that has been renovated into a small house but couldnt be happier with it. Rick was very nice and always responded back quickly to any questions i had. The neighbor that lives in the house in front of the garage seems very nice and keeps to theirselves. The neighborhood is quiet and respectful so do the same while youre there! I will try to stay here any time i come to Austin. 5 stars.
3293042,27772770,2015-03-11,3068432,Bridget,Everything was great at The Zilker Experience! The location is excellent and in a great little neighborhood that is walkable and convenient. We had a car so used that as well. Street parking was plentiful. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. The bed was super comfortable too! Excellent experience here!
3293042,28763342,2015-03-29,12760308,Toby,Great place and great location. A really nice 1 bed little apartment. Rick was easy to communicate with and the keyless entry allowed us to be independent. Great place. Highly recommend 
3293042,29017708,2015-04-02,6641286,Jeremy,My wife and I stayed at the Zilker Experience for a business/pleasure trip. A person couldn't ask for a better location. If south Austin is where you want to be this spot is for you and if you need to get around to other parts of the city nothing is far away or hard to get to. The house was clean and very nicely remodeled. 
3293042,29268075,2015-04-06,26247036,Diane,"The apartment was super clean.  It was nice to have a store across the street.  The neighborhood was very friendly and walkable.  We didn't really see Rick, but we were in contact with him.  The Zilker Experience was a good one!"
3293042,29593393,2015-04-09,8242334,Carter,Great place in a great area. Host was very quick to communicate with us. And getting in and out was a breeze.  
3293042,29822114,2015-04-13,26947335,Cheryl,"Rick responded to my texts for information and provided us with the few items we needed and couldn't find when asked.
Loved the neighborhood and the market nearby was perfect for snacks, beer and wine, breakfast tacos and COFFEE ... although there was a keurig coffee machine in the apartment.)"
3293042,30226848,2015-04-19,677344,Chris,"Rick's place was great and well located in a neighborhood I'd not spent a lot of time in previously. S Lamar has a lot to offer and it's all walkable from Zilker Experience. And it was great that Rick allowed my dog. She felt right at home. Also, flexible checkout was great given my odd schedule the day of checkout. Thanks, Rick!"
3293042,30576248,2015-04-24,28865197,Monica,"My boyfriend and I first arrived to the Zilker experience and we were so happy to find something so conveniently located, clean, and comfortable. It was just the right size for dining in, sleeping in late, relaxing outside, and exploring Zilker and Barton Springs.  Rick and Kyrsten we're both so easy to talk to with their prompt responses and inviting personalities. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on a revisit, I highly recommend!"
3293042,30671883,2015-04-26,27812891,Eric,Rick was a gracious Host!  The Zilker Experience is a prime location for all of Austin's Hot Spots.  My wife and I have a great time!
3293042,30943293,2015-04-29,1872223,Karoline,"Great place to stay!
The apartment is nicely appointed and clean; the keyless entrance is very convenient.
I didn't feel very well during our stay but the neighborhood enticed me out for several walks.  I didn't run across Rick but had a brief friendly chat with his partner.  It's nice to know they are right next door and available if needed.
I'm looking forward to come at next chance and be able to be more active and fully enjoy this place, both apartment and the neighborhood in easy walking distance to Barton Springs and Barton Creek.  Great place!"
3293042,31204547,2015-05-03,23163252,Katie,"The house was great and we had complete privacy.  Everything was comfortable  and the hosts were helpful.  This is a fabulous Austin location and it's super convenient to everything!  Nicely furnished with a cute yard. Overall, we would definitely stay here again."
3293042,31404935,2015-05-04,26811063,Susie&Rod,"The guesthouse was very cute, very clean and the bed was super comfy. We uber'd to the bars we wanted to go to only BC we aren't very familiar with Austin but it looked like you could walk to a lot of fun places. We would stay again."
3293042,31667475,2015-05-08,32007058,Ross,"The description was accurate and we given privacy from start to finish. You are living directly behind the building owners so they are around but were very respectful of us. 

The neighborhood and space are amazing. Close to lots of great Austin sites and comfortable. IT is dog friendly so watch your step in the yard! "
3293042,31970514,2015-05-12,31210657,Sarah,Rick was a great host! Our stay was stress free and using the code to get in and out was very convenient. It's also in a cool neighborhood and close to lots of great places to eat! I would stay here again. 
3293042,32186457,2015-05-15,3803117,Ana,"Rick's guest house was cute, modern and comfy enough for a family with two kids and a dog.  Probably the best deal in the neighborhood.  We'll definitely be coming back."
3293042,33239176,2015-05-26,29188021,Hannah,"Loved this place! Great location, clean, and Rick was very prompt to respond to messages. Will def stay here again! Best of all, my dogs got to come too :)"
3293042,33798798,2015-06-01,8069435,BattleCat,"Perfect location, super clean. Loved it!"
3293042,34214382,2015-06-06,1910741,Emma,Awesome place - spacious and conveniently located.
3293042,35252350,2015-06-16,1552452,Sylvia,"Great place. Very clean, high ceilings, and every amenity one would need. Location is perfect and I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend it to others. Host was quick to respond to texts."
3293042,35715855,2015-06-21,8383197,Eric,"The Zilker experience was perfect for us.  Rick was an exceptional host and very responsive to our questions via text.  The bungalow is tucked quietly behind the main house and provided peace and quiet and a great night's rest with A/C and fans that kept us plenty cool.  The home had modern kitchen amenities and we appreciated the efficient use of space so that the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and sofa were in separate areas creating a feeling of roominess and comfort.  

Every morning we enjoyed a nice walk thru the Zilker neighborhood.  One day we ate breakfast at Austin Java on Barton Springs and another day we picked up breakfast tacos at the corner mart right across the street.  

In the evenings, we walked to S. Lamar for dinner and ice cream and to experience the great summer evenings in Austin.   

We have family and friends in Austin so we were very pleased with this location.  The Zilker Experience gave us immediate access to the things we like to do in Austin with convenient routes to visit family and friends in the SW Austin suburbs."
3293042,35977978,2015-06-23,35917362,Ann,"The place was clean, and fit the description perfectly.  It is in a great location, and offers enough room for a couple.  
"
3293042,36713633,2015-06-30,6188043,Kerry,"I really enjoyed staying at Rick's place in Austin.  It was clean, quiet, and very conveniently located. "
3293042,37453176,2015-07-07,897895,Rich,"Very clean !! Perfect place for visiting Austin , close to anything we wanted to do . We walked , road bikes and just a short trip to downtown using Uber. Place is small but has everything you need . Store and laundry less then 100 yards . I had a couple of unusual requests and although Rick was out of town he was very responsive and made my requests happen, very professional . Great spot to rest while planning your next adventure .Very quiet and safe neighborhood . If you never used Uber  i suggest getting the app , never waited more than 5 mins for a ride. I would stay here again for sure . Thanks Rick"
3293042,37879147,2015-07-11,29338862,Mj,"Rick was super helpful and very responsive to any communication we sent his way. His suggestion of food places and places to visit were awesome. The place was nice and clean, good for a couple."
3293042,38188412,2015-07-13,30808457,Nicole,"Although I did not meet him in person, Rick was welcoming and communicated well regarding his recommendations for the area. The apartment was clean and it was a lovely touch having mini shampoo/lotion left on the bed for us. The pictures accurately depict the apartment and the kitchen is well equipped. The location is perfect, we loved the area and found it really convenient that the grocery store is so close by."
3293042,38987053,2015-07-20,9930449,Alice,"great little place. clean, cutely decorated. necessities are all there. very comfortable bed, and pet friendly. The Zilker location was key....close to S Lamar restaurants and especially enjoying Zilker park/Barton Springs. Rick was quick to respond to questions via email. Would definitely consider staying here again!"
3293042,39932570,2015-07-27,24595928,Freya,Rick was quick to respond and very helpful.  we loved the space and the neighborhood.
3293042,41973598,2015-08-10,10877412,Amanda,"Overall a decent stay. The space is cute and has the necessities. Also the neighborhood is great!! Odd duck, uchi, Gibson bar, Saxon pub all were amazing and a great time. 

However, there were a couple areas that could have used improvement. First, the yard and surrounding space were sloppy and overgrown. Would have been nice to have it be a little neater but no big deal. Secondly, the bed was so soft. As in you sit in the middle and it sinks down. We ended up sleeping on the couch futon the last two nights. The last issue was the one that really tainted the experience.. :( I messaged Rick before booking the place to tell him of our later flight at 5pm and asked if a later check out around 3 pm would be available or just a safe place to store our bags. He responded that it wouldn't be an issue as he had a flexible check out. Two days before leaving I messaged him to reaffirm, he wrote back that check out is usually around 10am... Seemed completely contradictory to what we first discussed. Eventually we came to a compromise that my bf and I would leave at 10am but leave our bags in the place until 3pm since we didn't want to lug our (OK.. my) heavy suitcase around. We overlapped with the next guests checking in (we knew they were coming in but it's a little weird to have our stuff there while new ppl checked in). So that was a little irritating after such great trip to Austin.. Ooh well Austin was awesome!"
3293042,43973645,2015-08-23,12777534,Liz And Jeff,Everything that we could have wanted was there.  100% like it was described.
3293042,44987495,2015-08-30,40594951,Isha,"Great little place in a nice, quiet neighborhood located close to Zilker, Barton Springs Pool, South Lamar, and Downtown. The space was clean and had all the basic necessities. There's a grocery store just across the street, which is very convenient! Rick was always helpful and quick to respond. Also, the place is pet-friendly and there is a fenced yard in the back where our dog could sniff around and play with his ball. The only minor issue we had was with the mattress on the bed, which was a bit too soft. It was only for a couple of nights, so it wasn't a big problem for us, but I imagine it would be if we had to stay longer. Also, the lawn chairs in the yard were quite dirty so we couldn't really use them...not a big deal, though. Overall, we had a very nice stay. We would recommend The Zilker Experience if anyone is looking for accommodation near the park."
3293042,46134372,2015-09-08,14560011,Jane,"Rick's place is a lovely little guest house with all the amenities in very quiet neighborhood. We didn't actually meet Rick face-to-face, but he checked in with us to make sure everything was alright. It was nice to have such privacy. We did a LOT of walking to get around, but the busses were easy to figure out and Ubers weren't too costly."
3293042,47042870,2015-09-15,32222412,Joseph,"We really enjoyed our stay in Zilker Park. The place was clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. It was large enough for 2 toddlers, my wife, & me. Street parking was easy to come by, fortunately. The location was phenomenal, right by Barton Springs, SoLa, & close to downtown. Definitely need a car or bike to get around in Austin. Would definitely recommend staying here & we'd stay here again!"
3293042,49208717,2015-10-02,18100867,Brad,"Rick's small apartment was ideal for myself and my three friends. While I was initially taken aback by the size, it turned out to be just perfect. The internet worked, the beds were comfortable, and everything worked great. I never spoke to Rick in person, but I know that if I needed anything he was there. Thankfully, we never needed anything. Great place, for both long and short trips. "
3293042,49587401,2015-10-05,32636031,Kathleen,"The Zilker Experience was perfect for the first weekend of ACL. It was about a 20 min walk to the festival, which is about as good as it gets! Everything was just as described by Rick. The kitchen was nice and well equipped. The guest house is cute and open which we liked since there were only two of us, but if you're a group of four adults I can see how it would feel cramped. We had a great experience and would easily visit again!"
3293042,50057280,2015-10-08,38668016,Hamlet,Amazing! Loved every second of it 
3293042,50423835,2015-10-12,26507559,Briegan,"Rick's Airbnb was the PERFECT place for mine and my boyfriend's stay in Austin!  It was easy to find and located in a quiet neighborhood just a short distance away from everything!  It was extremely clean and fully stocked with anything we would need in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen!   It's small but is a great use of space, we never felt cramped.  This place is a 20 minute walk to Zilker park, across the street from a mini market for quick grocery essentials and also about 15 minutes walking distance to a few great bars and restaurants.  Rick left instructions for the house, as well as recommendations on what to do in the area which was extremely useful.  He even let us check out late since he didn't have anyone else checking in that day, which was SO, SO helpful because we had a late evening flight.  We would absolutely come back and rent from Rick again!!! Thank you so much!!"
3293042,51716694,2015-10-24,1723175,Mira,"My friend and I had a great stay in Austin - what an amazing city!  The Zilker place was in a great location, pretty residential so it was nice and quiet but still close to some of the big areas with great restaurants and shopping.  It was also really close to Barton Springs.  Huge plus!

We had a nice experience at the Zilker Place.  It was a great size for the two of us and although we didn't do any cooking, the kitchen seemed to have most of the amenities you would need!

There were a few hiccups with the trip but Rick was very responsive to remedy the situation.  I do have to say that the main bed was pretty squishy so I had some trouble sleeping but my friend thought the futon was comfortable.

Thanks for the stay!"
3293042,52521679,2015-10-30,46396692,Robby,"This is a wonderful spot and Rick is a fantastic host.  The location is perfect, close to all of my favoriteAustin spots and in a quiet neighborhood.  The apartment is extremely well kept and has a lovely yard.  A great spot for 2 - 4 people to stay on an Austin vacation. "
913032,3748784,2013-03-11,5022900,Laurie,"House was clean, bright and very nicely furnished with plenty of space and bathrooms.  Stayed during SXSW and the location was a lifesaver, being close to the downtown area...."
913032,8812080,2013-11-19,7759487,Youngji,"We had a wonderful F1 weekend at Ariana's house. The house was very spacious as described and had everything we needed. It was big enough for 7 of us (3 couples and one single), and each had their own bathroom which was very nice. Also, she was very flexible for our early check-in and out time. Thank you again, and we definitely recommend to others! "
913032,11005210,2014-03-17,11571660,Eric,"This home was the perfect place for our business trip.  Clean, quiet and close to the I35. Ariana was welcoming, friendly and very accomodating!  

Will surely want to stay here again the next time I am in Austin."
913032,33024406,2015-05-24,33147994,Candace,The Andersons came thru for us when another site cancelled our reservation due to overbooking. I was so happy when I saw their listing and Ariana said she could host! The home was better than we ever expected! We stayed for my daughters graduation and had such a great time gathering the morning of her graduation in the huge kitchen! Thanks Again!
2495153,10971653,2014-03-15,11329498,Amber,This was a really nice place. The bed was extremely comfortable and the host was very nice. They provided snacks and quite a bit of extra amenities. Really great neighborhood walked to breakfast & dinner spots while staying there. I definitely recommend this place and will stay there again!
2495153,11068428,2014-03-18,2812903,Kevin,"Jeff and Cindy provided an exceptional level of hospitality and generosity over our few day stay. Everything exceeded our expectations. In addition to a wonderful + comfortable spot, they provided snacks and actually drove me to the store to pick up some groceries. Wow. Will be back next year."
2495153,11332944,2014-03-30,12843027,Megumi,"Great hosts! They are full of hospitality and kindness. The house is quiet, cozy, and clean with a nice terrace. The location is really convenient and easy to access to explore South Austin. When I asked them a hair drier, they bought one for us right away. We will definitely be back when we travel Austin again. Thanks, Jeff and Cindy!!!"
2495153,11624197,2014-04-09,13491054,Stefan,"The main house looks pretty run down from the front, but the Annex is quite acceptable and has a private porch. Its yard is surrounded by a high, locked fence, so I felt very secure. The Annex was clean and provided everything I needed (including some beer!), with  one exception that will bother some renters: there was no television. My only other complaint was that the Wi-Fi signal was weak; twice I had to move my laptop into the kitchen in order to get a signal. That could be fixed by moving the router into the laundry room between the house and the annex. The location was good for me. Downtown is just minutes away, and the University just a bit beyond that. BTW, Jeff and Cindy are very nice. Recommended."
2495153,11761945,2014-04-14,9985384,David,"Our stay was great!!! First and foremost, this location in perfect. We loved that you could walk to many restaurants and bars, as well as a store on the corner. From the moment that we arrived Jeff and Cindy made us feel right at home. The neighborhood is quiet and the property is surrounded by a gate for added security. The area felt very safe, even walking at night. The room had private access via the backyard which included a pretty garden and chairs to relax in. The room itself was spacious with plenty of room for my husband and I. The room was clean and could easily accommodate another couple or some kids that could sleep on the futon couch. Place included snacks and coffee, water, etc.  which added that little extra that made our stay so great. Jeff and Cindy are great hosts and we look forward to staying with them again! Thanks for the awesome weekend!"
2495153,12504091,2014-05-04,3681048,Jill,"We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay at The Annex-Zilker Neighborhood, after choosing from a list of around 20 places in Austin!  The location was ideal, close enough to both South Congress, Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the action on South Lamar located in a quiet and beautiful residential area.  We were provided with bikes which made it a lot easier to access different parts of the city. 

The apartment had everything we needed: a comfortable bed, lots of pillow options, a very clean bathroom, well supplied kitchen, lots of towels, hairdryer, good wifi and netflicks (though you'll likely not spend many evenings at home in a city like Austin!) We even had a little deck that looked on to a shared (but private) garden where we drank our coffee in the morning, enjoyed listening to the birds and watching the day start.

Jeff and Cindy really went above and beyond to make our stay special: cold beer in the fridge (!) fresh and locally roasted coffee dropped off for us, onions from Cindy's garden, fresh fruit, milk and juice in the fridge for us are the little things that made the time there so wonderful.

Jeff and Cindy are exceptional people. They responded quickly to emails (even to our silly questions) before we arrived and as well-established Austinites, could answer our many questions and curiosities about the city. We sincerely hope to see them again in the future!  

Honestly, simplify your trip planning and don't even hesitate to book the Annex-Zilker Neighborhood, you will have no regrets! 
"
2495153,13116615,2014-05-19,11406100,Michael,"Jeff and Cindy were amazing and so was the place! We were only in town for 36 hours, so we didn't get to see them much, but they stayed up to let us in when we arrived late at night after a long drive from Dallas, and made us feel very much at home in their lovely place. 

The room was exactly as described and pictured, clean, fridge stocked with beer and other beverages, coffee, towels, tons of great information about the area, TV, DVD player, Netflix, everything we needed! And, it is very easy to get to all the wonderful things to do in Austin.

I highly recommend staying here, and would definitely stay again if I make it back to Austin."
2495153,13289882,2014-05-24,11808025,Sarah,"Jeff and Cindy's Annex is great. A fantastic location in SoLa and a nice neighbourhood. Jeff and Cindy are such warm and welcoming people. The left the fridge full of organic fruit, milk, juice for us which was very sweet and much appreciated! The annex is well stocked with anything you might need and the little stove is excellent. There are buses 3, 331 and 338 at your doorstep,  a great craft beer shop, pharmacy, cafés etc, and wholefoods is only a couple of miles up Lamar. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again!"

They admired our truck (which meant a lot to the fiance) and left us to our devices. We really wish we would have had more time to hang out with them! 

The neighborhood is quiet and the property is surrounded by a gate for added security.  The room had private access via the backyard which included a pretty garden and chairs to relax in. The room itself was spacious with plenty of room for my fiance and I. They also left us snacks AND bananas! I love a healthy snack. Tons of water and juice too.  Jeff and Cindy are great hosts and we look forward to staying with them again! Thanks for the awesome weekend! "
2495153,13988554,2014-06-09,2818545,Tyler,"Jeff and Cindy are awesome, very kind and down to earth people. The place was totally comfortable, they brought us organic bananas for the baby along with the morning paper and the fridge had juice, beer, and there were bagels for breakfast. The location was absolutely perfect for Austin, if we ever move there I will be searching in the exact location.  Was a great stay and we will be looking them up next time we come to town. "
2495153,15416655,2014-07-08,16745010,Niki,"Jeff and Cindy were the utmost perfect hosts! Coming from Europe, they provided my son and me with lots of information about the city, and we quickly felt at home. (The place turned out even cosier than the pictures alluded to.) Very individual dedication and privacy at the same time! We appreciated the home grown vegetables and herbs, the bagels, organic milk, juice/bottled water - thank you so much! For a week's stay it was great to be able to do laundry. A problem occurred with Netflix was quickly resolved, and when asked, they also made it possible for us to communicate with relatives at home via home phone. Nature-oriented, quiet and secure neighbourhood, stores and places to eat nearby but also just a 10-minute-ride to downtown Austin. It feels like we've gained new family (my son sure has a new grandpa) and we sure will come back if we have the chance to!

A special thank for having us sent overnight our forgotten passports!  "
2495153,16942812,2014-08-04,15973308,Carolyn,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeff and Cindy's Annex. It was so peaceful, even though it is close to many Austin attractions. Our hosts were very welcoming, and they take pride in providing a wonderful home away from home. "
2495153,20287048,2014-09-27,5789846,Anna,"Cindy and Jeff are PERFECT hosts: kind, generous, chatty and discreet. We were made to feel wholly welcome. The studio apartment is set in an annex in the garden. It is a real home away from home with everything you need (dishwasher, cooker, a gigantic fridge stocked with breakfast items). We even spotted hummingbirds. 

The neighbourhood is very calm, about a 40-minute walk and a 15-minute bus ride (direct on line 803) from downtown Austin. 

We stayed here for a film festival taking place the the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar - a 10-minute walk away, but I would wholly recommend staying here no matter where you want to go. 

There are several excellent restaurants within a 5 to 15-minute walk from The Annex - places that people cross the city for. 

So, all in all, you can reserve this place with your eyes closed. When we return to Austin we will stay here again. "
2495153,20898668,2014-10-07,6959632,Elissa,"Jeff and Cindy were lovely, welcoming hosts. They had snacks, coffee, bagels, etc for us upon arrival and even made up the extra bed. Great apartment!"
2495153,21122067,2014-10-12,7218536,Nadia,I've stayed in a number of airBNBs and staying with Jeff and Cindy was the best airBNB experience by far. The location was great and the place was adorable and spacious. They went above and beyond by providing snacks and they even picked us up AND drove us back to the airport! They were super accommodating without being at all intrusive. Anyone visiting Austin would be lucky to have the chance to stay here. 
2495153,21608620,2014-10-20,20492697,Eric,"Cindy Jeff were gracious hosts.  They contacted me prior to my arrival to coordinate everything, and even offered to provide me with a ride from the airport if I had needed.
The Annex was clean, and comfortable and more than I needed.  Cindy and Jeff provided everything as promised and were truly thoughtful.

Many thanks!"
2495153,21960531,2014-10-27,21628268,Tony,"Jeff and Cindy are great hosts - welcoming and conscientious without being in your face.  Jeff even gave me a set of jumper leads because we were having electrical problems with our rental car.  The neighbourhood is pretty and close to town.  We used uber and a couple of bikes from Jeff and Cindy to get around.  The little things such as a choice of pillows, fresh bread and butter, bottled water, pancake mix and popcorn, milk and fruit were really appreciated and made a big difference to us - especially on arrival. It was also nice that the Annex was mostly chemical free - no horrible chemical fumes. "
2495153,22292328,2014-11-03,19578382,Alexandra,"We had a great time staying with Jeff an Cindy! They were very prompt at responding to my texts/emails and keeping us informed of their availability and thugs like where to park. They gave wonderful suggestions for where to eat and the neighborhood was clean, safe and friendly. The Annex was just perfect. Clean, plenty of space, safe and very very comfortable. Jeff and Cindy are the perfect hosts of a great little place to stay for a few nights. They even mailed a sweater I left there and made it feel like it wasn't a burden at all to them. My only regret is not booking another night with them! Book here! You won't regret it!"
2495153,22646652,2014-11-11,7219299,Gabby,"The Annex was perfect for our trip to Austin. It was only minutes away from the festival we were attending and lots of other fun things, including Barton Springs! The space had everything we needed and more! The fridge was stocked with juice, a full brita, lots of fruit, potatoes from Jeff and Cindys garden, delicious organic milk and even some beer! There were lots of extra pillows and blankets, a coffee pot (with coffee!), plenty of space to unpack our things, lots of towels (including those for the Barton Springs pool) and a beautiful view out into the garden. We used the bikes to get to the festival on the river and it was super convenient, not too mention a beautiful ride through Zilker. Jeff and Cindy were incredibly gracious hosts and even stayed up to let us in and show us around when we got in at 2am. They went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The Annex is a beautiful and sustainable AirBnb with accommodating and flexible hosts. I will absolutely be booking here for my next trip to ATX! "
2495153,22967321,2014-11-18,23541286,Robin,"Jeff and Cindy were fantastic hosts. From picking us up at the airport on our arrival; to dropping us off at our destination on our departure. The Annex was a comfortable and self-sufficient with certain complementary food and drinks available to us in the fridge - we were able to make pancakes, fresh OJ and amazing coffee on our first morning. We used the mountain bikes which were available to us and we rode them from sun up to getting back late in the evening. It was a great way to see Austin and we probably wouldn't of considered hiring our own bikes on our stay. Complimentary bikes were a great idea! On our inevitable return to Austin we would not hesitate to stay in the Annex again with Jeff and Cindy as our most gracious hosts."
2495153,24901761,2015-01-03,24296424,Michaela,"A wonderful stay - Jeff and Cindy are very accommodating to all of your needs and were even able to accept us last minute which was a great help. The back house is very secure and private from Jeff and Cindy, excellent wifi and free food in fridge - which is always a good thing. The location is a little bit out of town - we had a car which made things easy, however very close to main road were there are frequent busses downtown. Overall an excellent stay and would defiantly recommend to others. Thanks Jeff and Cindy. "
2495153,25619688,2015-01-20,9985384,David,"Jeff and Cindy’s place is great! This is our second time staying here and once again it was wonderful. The place was clean and located in a great location, close to everything. Jeff and Cindy let us check in early and it was greatly appreciated. We stayed with 2 kids and there was plenty of room for all of us. They even stocked the kitchen with snacks and breakfast items! Small touches like that really make our stay. We will stay here again. Thanks for the hospitality Jeff and Cindy."
2495153,26344118,2015-02-09,2948577,Mike,"Jeff and Cindy were great hosts! Very accommodating! Their place was very well equipped. Everything we needed from shampoos to coffee was provided and much appreciated. The Annex is very secure, private, and not directly accessible from the street, which is nice for travelers that are less familiar with the area. As host, Jeff and Cindy were very approachable and willing to help in any way! I'd recommend."
2495153,26681807,2015-02-17,2286873,Cecilia,"Jeff and Cindy were kind and generous hosts who made us feel like we were home. They gave us all the information we needed before arriving at the house (even considerately mentioning the upcoming weather!), and greeted us at the door. Their house had everything we needed and more – including groceries and snacks for our stay! 

Their home is cozy and is a great launchpad for visiting all the Austin sights and scenes. I highly recommend Jeff and Cindy as hosts."
2495153,27033668,2015-02-23,15441018,Brittney,"You can truly have it all! 

My girlfriend and I needed a very last minute booking. Literally less than 24 hours before we would arrive in Austin. Jeff and Cindy not only were able to accommodate us on such short notice, but were so friendly, polite, and eager to help. They even picked us up and dropped us back off at the airport, which is just first class service!
Not only is the space (The Annex) extremely clean, charming, and private, but Jeff and Cindy even stock the fridge with snacks and beverages. 

The house itself is in one of the top ranked neighborhoods, literally less than 10 minutes from downtown, on the major bus route so you can get to any destination.

I've used AirBNB before in Austin, but never with such wonderful results. If you are visiting the area to search out some nature, take in some good food and music, or even house hunt like me, I highly recommend Jeff and Cindy as your launching pad to do so!"
2495153,27450326,2015-03-04,3040378,Jake,"What an amazing gem in Austin. Very good location and close to downtown. Charming backyard cottage with cute country finishes. It's a quiet kind of place so definitely not s party spot. Jeff and Cindy stocked the fridge with OJ, tea, eggs, butter, bread, snacks, and fruit. Feels like home and at a great value, I will be staying here again I hope. Thanks Jeff and Cindy for the great stay! "
2495153,28073320,2015-03-17,10058274,Adam,"This was, hands down, the best AirBnb stay I have ever had. Cindy and Jeff went above and beyond in every way. I recommend their Annex space as strongly as a recommendation can get. 

They were extremely communicative, asking for breakfast preferences and offering rides to and from the airport well before we arrived. The Annex is a private residence behind their home, with separate entrances and a large living space. A comfortable bed, pull-out couch, and a small kitchen (that was still bigger than my own back home).

We enjoyed cooking breakfast in the morning, there was a great shower, and we actually watched TV a lot too. There's an outdoor are where we sat around too.

The location is nice too. South Lamar has lots of restaurants and food options (we really enjoyed Brown's BBQ which was about two blocks away). It was a short ride downtown, but we actually walked one day, it was about 2 miles but really pleasant and plenty to see on the walk.

Honestly, this was just a fantastic stay. It was a true home away from home, with more amenities for the price than we expected. Jeff and Cindy are just lovely human beings. The definition of southern hospitality."
2495153,28461040,2015-03-24,12066604,Dean,"Without a doubt the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The place is immaculate and so comfortable that after 2 months of traveling it was tempting to stay at home all day. The location was great (just a short bus trip downtown) and the local area was very safe and nice to walk around.
Jeff and Cindy are the perfect hosts. Very friendly and always on hand to answer any questions you may have.
I cannot recommend their place enough and we would definitely stay there again should we return to Austin.
Thanks again Jeff and Cindy for all your assistance during our stay."
2495153,29195668,2015-04-05,27421703,Juan Manuel,"Recibiéndonos con amabilidad, con todo lo necesario en el departamento para nuestra estancia."
2495153,29976423,2015-04-15,28592090,Shara,Jeff and Cindy made us feel relaxed and comfortable during our visit. We liked the quiet location and the privacy afforded by the backyard garden setting. We awoke to the cooing of the doves each morning.  Amazingly it was also close to the river and downtown Austin where we needed to go each day. We also appreciated the fresh organic breakfast food they provided. Thank you Jeff and Cindy. I hope we can stay with you again on our next visit.
2495153,30332401,2015-04-20,30376344,Von,"My girlfriend and I were a little nervous because this was our very first time using AirBnB, but Jeff & Cindy made the experience great! The Annex was exactly as advertised...it's a cool space and very comfortable. They have a  beautiful garden as well. As hosts, they gave us plenty of privacy but stayed in contact enough to let us know they were available if we needed. They were even flexible with us when we had some unexpected delays.  Overall, I'd give them a 10 out 10 and I would definitely look them up again when in the Austin area!"
2495153,30602670,2015-04-25,27001434,Vicki,"My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at the Annex.  Jeff and Cindy are wonderful hosts.   They provided us with water,  ice, home made bread, fruit, milk, coffee and other items to make our stay a positive experience.   The Annex is very clean and comfortable  and is located in a nice area.  We will definitely stay there again"
2495153,30923280,2015-04-29,27001434,Vicki,"My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at the Annex.  It was very homey, clean and comfortable.  Jeff and Cindy are great hosts and I would recommend the Annex if you need a place in their neighborhood"
2495153,31588372,2015-05-07,30468471,Katie,"Jeff and Cindy helped to make our Austin vacation everything we had  hoped for and more. We arrived for an earlier checkin because we had a wedding to go to that afternoon, but Cindy was there to greet us and gave us a tour. 

The accommodations were welcoming and very comfortable. All the essentials were provided, and the charming back yard and porch were a huge plus. We rented a car, and Cindy and Jeff were kind enough to leave their driveway open for us to come and go. 

Finding the fridge stocked with staples (coffee, bottled water, bread, milk, bananas) was a pleasant surprise, but the ideal location kept us so busy with great restaurants, that we didn't even crack an egg. The Alamo Drafthouse, The Gibson, Mr. Natural, and other hot spots are all about a 10-15 minute walk away. 

We would not hesitate to stay with Jeff and Cindy next time we're in town!"
2495153,31958248,2015-05-12,17792675,Cyndi,"Jeff and Cindy were the best hosts I can imagine!  They were just wonderful and I hope that we can stay with them every year.  Cindy and Jeff gave us perfect driving directions to their place and greeted us smiling, showed us around and took excellent care of us.  We felt so spoiled by their hospitality.  Their neighborhood is quiet and peaceful for a great night's sleep, and nice & private, away from the street.  They provided food and drinks in the fridge for our breakfast, and the shower was nice and hot, with plenty of great towels and washcloths, and a choice of soaps and shampoos.  Everything was cleaner than I keep my own home!   All AirB&B properties should be like Jeff and Cindy's.  We just love them, too; they are such a pleasant couple.  I can't wait til next year when we can return and stay longer."
2495153,33269622,2015-05-26,31544071,Jimena,"From the first time we made contact with Jeff and Cindy they made us feel welcome.  They kept in touch before we arrived and greeted us when we got there, after that they gave us plenty of privacy.  Their place is perfect for two people to explore Austin.  The bed was so comfortable and all the amenities made us feel at home.  Jeff and Cindy thought of everything and truly have something special close to many ""hot"" spots.  We truly enjoyed our stay!  "
2495153,33824863,2015-06-01,2663002,Karen,"We had a great experience and loved being met with big smiles of hospitality :)

The place was so cozy and comfy.

We would love to come back. :)

"
2495153,34497981,2015-06-08,6027070,Betty,"I have used Airbnb more than a handful now and in many cities. I can honestly say that they were the most incredible and thoughtful hosts I have encountered. The provisions in the fridge, fruit, coffee and snacks and they even offered to pick us up at the airport and drop
Us off at our hotel later in the week (where the Conf I was attending). Absolute pleasure! Would stay with them again."
2495153,35892718,2015-06-22,14898400,Daniela,"I had a great experience staying at Cindy's and Jeff's place. The place is exactly as shown in the pics. Actually it was even better. There was breakfast food in the fridge, soap and shampoo and all sorts of things you really feel at home there. "
2495153,46907624,2015-09-14,3721376,Ryan,"Staying at The Annex was the best Airbnb I have experienced thus far. Jeff and Cindy's space is cozy, comfortable, and just a short drive to downtown Austin. They made sure that we had everything we needed and more for a great visit! If (when) I return to Austin, I hope The Annex will be available again :)"
2495153,47806232,2015-09-21,20211305,Kathy,Thanks to Jeff and Cindy for being the most thoughful hosts we have ever had at any place we have stayed! Your place was just perfect for us and our 2 small kids! We can't thank you enough for your terrific hospitality! We'll be back for sure!
2495153,49874678,2015-10-07,10977027,Ami,"Jeff and Cindy were the bests hosts travelers could ask for. We had everything we needed and they kept us stocked up with snacks and breakfast. Gorgeous room with great kitchen and bathroom and a really comfortable bed. The location was fantastic for all things Austin with the benefit of being a short ride away from Barton Springs for a daily dip. Thank you again to you both for our stay, we couldn't have asked for a better place. Best AirBnB we've stayed in!"
2495153,51357502,2015-10-19,2364334,Nanditha,"Jeff and Cindy are amazing hosts! They're so welcoming and the place was so awesome. They were very responsive and gave us our space when we were at the place. Even though we arrived pretty late, they were able to give us the key and the instructions. As soon as I booked it, they reached to me to ask what kind of bread and milk I prefer. The fridge was well stocked with fruits, milk, butter, pancake mix, etc. The place was very clean. The only ""complaint"" I would have is the bathroom door doesn't lock, it's a sliding door so as long as you're ok with that, this place is great!! I'd highly recommend this place to my friends as well, it's very close to downtown and the airport is only 15 minutes away. "
2495153,51932227,2015-10-25,25986702,Alex,"Our hosts were lovely and made a point to both greet us when we arrived and explain all the aspects of the very secure accommodation.
Nothing was too much trouble for Jeff and Cindy, they made very good communications with us.
They went above and beyond asking us about our allergies, if we had any and provided gluten free wraps for me.
We had to leave before sunrise during a huge downpour, not sure how they heard us, but Jeff and Cindy were there to see us off in the rain.
Location was great and many dining options surrounding, they even have bikes to use for free to make the trip into the city.
I can't fault our stay.
"
2495153,52312091,2015-10-28,39167506,Chris,Cindy and Jeff were very nice and helpful.  They were informative and very responsive throughout the whole experience.  Def recommed their place to anyone.  Very comfortable and nice. 
14765,3762426,2013-03-12,4768602,Virginia,Charla was a great host..wouldn't change a thing!
14765,4582714,2013-05-13,6179642,Malini,Lovely host with a unique home. Was happy to let us leave bags after checkout until we had to head to the airport. 
14765,8053835,2013-10-14,8920821,Jeff,"Charla was a wonderful host. First, she responded to my Airbnb email right away and was prompt in responding leading up to the stay. When we got the cottage it was very clean and confortable. And to top it all off Charla allowed my group to use her two bikes to get around Austin and even gave us food supplies for Austin. If you are looking for a comfortable stay in central Austin, I highly recommend Charla and her quaint home. "
14765,12967227,2014-05-16,7967526,Cornel David,"My friends and I  had a great stay at Charla's unique and delightful cottage. Its in a beautiful street close to parks and within easy walking distance of Sth Congress street and all the fantastic gigs, restaurants and nightlife that the area has to offer.
If you want to stay somewhere special, Charla's home is ideal for your visit to Austin. David Roman, Sydney, Australia"
14765,31844599,2015-05-10,29389251,Michael,Charming cottage in great spot in south Austin.  Extremely comfortable and would use it again if had the opportunity 
14765,36514052,2015-06-29,25763627,Michele,"From the beginning, when our reservation was accepted, Charla made us feel so welcome. Originally only three of us were going to stay and when I asked if we could add another friend, Charla immediately responded to graciously welcome her as well. 

Charla's welcome letter letter was just as gracious with details for our stay. Her description of her home was spot on. The cottage was quaint and in a quiet neighborhood--hard to believe it was so close to the airport! If you love architecture, you'll love the streets surrounding the home, so many different styles, with lovely gardens. 

The house was just minutes away from the Hotel Saint Cecilia, where wedding festivities took place and the nice sized living room gave us a chance to gather with friends for a lazy Sunday afternoon. So close to South Congress, it was easy for us to get to fabulous restaurants and close to the highway to make a trip to the hill country a breeze.

Our host was quickly responsive to several minor queries we had. All four of us would definitely rent again on our next trip to Austin."
14765,46807324,2015-09-13,16994532,Dahlia,"This duplex is in a very green neighborhood, right next to a creek on a dead end road. It is about a 10 minute walk, through tree-lined winding streets, to South Congress restaurants.  Furnishings are eclectic. The house has a lively patchouli smell, so perhaps it is not for the scent-sensitive. Charla is a good communicator, and was welcoming and friendly.  "
14765,47766377,2015-09-21,40720495,William,Charla provides an adorable home in one of the best Austin neighborhoods. Her home was neat and tidy and plenty comfortable. She was available to answer all of our questions and was quite hospitable. 
14765,49443465,2015-10-04,38848483,Valerie,Charla was very accomodating to us. There were instructions left on the kitchen counter for us with all the details we needed to know and she was accessible via phone if we needed anything. She even left some bottles of beer for us in the fridge. We would definitely stay again!
4219268,25986267,2015-01-31,6018722,Gaynor,The reservation was canceled 40 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

4219268,27238291,2015-02-28,20624622,Christina,The place has a great location and a very quiet neighborhood.  I showed up late and the key was placed under the door mat for me.  I enjoyed my stay.
4219268,27816767,2015-03-12,8478617,Steve,"Great experience. Very clean and kept up place. Host came in every day briefly to leave a fresh clean bath towel, clean up whatever messes I had made throughout the house, and stock the kitchen with fresh coffee beans. All of these things were beyond what I expected. Great host. Would (and will) stay here again!"
4219268,28181784,2015-03-19,16071275,Rachel,"Poppy was a great hostess and the space was perfect for my needs. She made sure the other guests and myself had everything we needed and was there when I arrived. She stopped by a few times, gave some advice on places to eat in the area, and left us snacks! She was always quick to respond. 

I was in town for SXSW and was really only around to sleep and get ready in the morning, but the bed was cozy, and I used the desk, full mirror, and closet in my room. The rest of the space was also very accommodating – coffee and tea, nice shower, towels, washer and dryer, fire pit, and a nice shared space. 

The neighborhood is close to the university, and was easy for an out-of-towner to either use the bus (about four blocks to the stop) or take a cab to get downtown. Poppy also brought a few bikes over with helmets and locks - sadly I never took one for a spin. It's tucked away a few blocks off of a main street, so it's peaceful, but also easy to get to restaurants/bars/shops.

I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this place to anyone. Poppy was so attentive and kind – a great hostess!     "
4219268,28453702,2015-03-23,9978906,Alysia,"Such a quiet, beautiful wooded retreat.

The room was simple, relaxing, cozy and the perfect getaway from all the craziness downtown for SXSW.  Ryan (Poppy) was an awesome host and very communicative in order to get me into the room on short notice.

Couldn't have asked for a better host / location!"
4219268,28673210,2015-03-28,24777114,Eunkyung,Poppy was a very friendly host. It was my first time using airbnb and  I think I had a nice start with it! I did not stay much of the time in the room but I could clearly see that the neighborhood was a super quite one. The house would be perfect for people who wants to rest peacefully away from the loudness of city-likes. 
4219268,29011312,2015-04-02,5462380,Claire,"Very cozy room with a nice bathroom and kitchen. Although I only stayed two days, I felt very welcome. The neighborhood is very close to the University of Texas and lots of great restaurants. "
4219268,29527379,2015-04-08,22448610,Ido,"I tried to reach poppy several times but he wasn't available. Finding the house in the late evening was difficult and I didn't had anyone to turn to. Poppy doesn't live in the apartment, what makes it more complicated. The room was nice and clean but the apartment is not as clean and pretty old. The towels smelled like gasoline and I felt cold as there was no extra blanket nor heat. 
The next they poppy arrived and fix it all up. He was very nice. "
4219268,29767011,2015-04-12,25452120,Stian,"Both the place and the room were nice - though it was not the room in the first/main picture. Poppy and his wife were both friendly and good hosts. They lived in another house, but could easily be reached for questions. They also loaned me a bike of theirs, which made it a lot easier to check out different parts of the city. Austin is one of the better bike cities in the US. Otherwise it's about 10 min to the nearest bus (email hidden)) which takes you downtown.

The place is in a quiet neighbourhood, but during two of my nights there was some sort of band rehersal at the house next door. Not the fault of the hosts, but just a heads up."
4219268,30473398,2015-04-22,7990221,Aileen,The house Is nice and located near several bus stops and main streets. The room was sparse but a nice place for travelers to lay their heads at night and minimize travel expenses. The house stayed cool and comfortable even when it started to get warm outside.  The owners were lovely and offered great information about place to go in Austin.  The only disappointment was the state of the bathroom.  
4219268,30901837,2015-04-28,31409724,Deric,"This was my first Airbnb experience.  I stayed here because of its excellent location near my family home where my son lives.  The hosts were quite pleasant,  and the room was adequate, especially for the modest rental fee charged.  "
4219268,31183165,2015-05-03,3320480,Alexandre,"A esposa do proprietário, uma japonesa, foi muito cordial comigo no check in, me explicou como funcionava a casa e onde poderia encontrar o que eu precisasse. Muito simpática. O quarto possui uma cama muito confortável, e ventilador de teto.
O que NAO GOSTEI:
1. casa muito SUJA!, muita poeira e sem ninguém que pudesse limpar com frequência 
2. muitos mosquitos e pernilongos
"
4219268,31951532,2015-05-12,2666235,Denise,"Absolutely loved my stay here. It was peaceful, convenient and serene.  "
4219268,32702882,2015-05-20,18005042,Russ,Excellent stay.  My host was very accomodating and a great communicator.  They went out of there way to ensure my stay was good.  The house and room were clean and very conveniently located.
4219268,33279944,2015-05-26,31831078,Calvin,"Very nice, clean, comfortable, air-conditioned house, close to campus and lots of stores. Hosts were very accommodating, even as they were busy dealing with the aftermath of El Niño weather. I stayed here while I found an apartment of my own in Austin & I couldn't have felt more at home & comfortable. The roommates were very friendly as well. This reservation was especially nice to arrive to after a week and a half of traveling across the country."
4219268,33792395,2015-06-01,10860046,Jessica,"Great & quiet neighborhood near restaurants and shops. It's about 30 min walk to campus or $5 Uber ride. Nothing fancy, but comfortable with an accessible kitchen. There are a few people living there, and everyone was polite and friendly though I didn't see much of them. That said, I had everything I needed at a decent price. I am taking another trip to Austin soon and would have liked to stay at Friendship House again, but someone beat me to it! "
4219268,43684942,2015-08-21,33181228,Pablo,Great place to be. Good location
5391715,43358617,2015-08-19,32779134,Ariel,"Kat and Brandon were great hosts. They made me feel very confortable from the very start, gave me thr rund down of the area, were very flexible to all things. The location was great, just sufficiently outside of downtown but close enough to have a very quick access and then the direct access to Barton Creek was amazing. The entire experience was very positive and would recommend to anyone."
5391715,51328858,2015-10-19,44536460,Kris,"Kat was a very responsive host and very understanding of my special circumstances. Her place felt like a real home because everything was well stocked. It made cooking easy. I was there during ACL, and Kat made sure I was informed of all notices."
4149311,25303454,2015-01-11,6855409,Ariana,"I came for a quick trip to austin. The house is absolutely amazing and peaceful! I love it! It was clean, has concrete floors, a huge kitchen and open spaces, a gas stove, huge backyard, probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on, a flat screen tv with cable. You can tell everything is quality. The appliances are new, including a washing machine and dryer and an alarm system. The location was super convenient- a block from the grocery store, an easy trip from the airport and to downtown. The east side has come up! Because of its location, the house is easy and quick to get to from different locations, which is important if you plan to explore austin and don't want to sit in traffic. The upgrades made to 7th street are awesome and much needed. Since I moved away from austin, 7th street now has wider roads and lots of new restaurants and stores.

Lana is super sweet, helpful, and very responsive. I will definitely book with her again."
4149311,28258023,2015-03-21,27473155,Christine,"Lana was an amazing host and the house was great. Clean, spacious and just a quick cab ride to where ever we wanted to go in Austin. The backyard was perfect for a BBQ and all bedrooms had comfy large beds and nice bathrooms. 
Would absolutely stay again! Recommended!"
4149311,30233051,2015-04-19,30311772,Chris,"Lana was terrifically communicative and made sure that our arrival and departure went smoothly.  The home's location was perfect - close to both the airport and downtown, with a large grocery store right down the street.  Everyone of our group of nine had only positive things to say about the home, and having such an ideal place to stay really helped make for an incredible weekend."
4149311,32446042,2015-05-18,13931199,Nancy,Lana was very easy to communicate with and gave us good information about area restaurants etc.    The house was very comfortable and worked extremely well for 3 couples/ 3 generations who were in town for a wedding.   The house is close to all of the new East Austin attractions as well as downtown.  We would stay here again!
4149311,33099195,2015-05-25,30009797,Alyssa,"Lana's house was perfect for a girls weekend!  All three bedrooms were spacious and the two extra air mattresses were able to comfortably fit ten guests.  The location was close to Rainey and 6th Streets and great restaurants- all of our Uber drivers were able to find the house without a problem. Lana responded to emails quickly, offered advice, and was a phone call away if we had any questions during the weekend.  She picked up firewood for us and had cold beverages waiting for us after a long day of travel! Such an amazing host!"
4149311,39857913,2015-07-26,21333548,Forrest,Beautiful home in a great location! The backyard is huge and the home had everything everything we needed. 
4149311,40764811,2015-08-02,11912255,Aaron,"Lana was an excellent host.  She went out of her way to make sure the experience was a good one.  There was even cold beer in the fridge when we arrived.  Location of the house was good, and the layout meant we could be relatively loud (guy's weekend), without disturbing neighbors.  Would definitely stay again."
4149311,42861135,2015-08-16,10032103,Laura,"Lana was great and super responsive to all our questions. The house was walkable to a grocery store and only a mile or 2 from several other fun areas/restaurants. With uber and lyft, getting around was really easy. Perfect for a big family or medium sized group. Our only problem was with the air mattresses -- whoever was stuck sleeping on them was typically on solid concrete by the end of the night, but there was enough couch space for us to make do. "
4149311,47262782,2015-09-17,644398,Jonathan,"Lana was a fantastic host: very prompt, communicative and helpful in every way. The house was in a great location: easy access to downtown and the up-and-coming East Side bars and restaurants.  We had a fantastic stay in Austin. Thanks, Lana!"
4149311,50277206,2015-10-11,15880159,Nada,"This house was an absolute treasure and I'm soooo happy that I had an opportunity to enjoy it! We had a bachelorette party here with 10 girls and the house fit us perfectly. All of the furniture is classy and modern, the rooms are spacious, and the location is close to 6th street in a really cute part of town. 

The host, Lana, was organized, sweet, and very helpful. She stocked the fridge with champagne and mixers for us and made sure we had a smooth and comfortable stay. The next time I'm back in Austin, I will definitely stay here!! Thank you soooooo much, Lana!"
4183441,49680443,2015-10-05,44296574,Rusty,"Great neighborhood, a very short walk to Zilker Park and many restaurants.  Place was very clean and nice!  Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great time in Austin.  Host was very easy to reach and quick to reply.  Overall a really great experience. "

6693125,34748158,2015-06-11,3529904,Lucrécia,"Shaguna is a thoughtful Person... but the room wasn't in bad cleaning conditions, dirty linens, bathroom dirty and the apartment has 3 rooms with other people living, students, good people, but this is not described in the announcement here on Airbnb. Who delivers the keys is a different person. Same Shaguna having been attentive when my complaints, I was dissatisfied with my arrival in Austin."
1703216,8417112,2013-10-29,3107831,Jana,"We loved our stay at Brian and Meredith's place in Zilker! Before our arrival the communication was easy and frequent with Brian replying the same day on all accounts. We had to adjust our dates and they were very accommodating about this as well which was great! On arrival, the place was exactly as the photos and description suggest - new, clean, great fit out and nice surprises such as a stocked mini fridge with water, sodas, and beer! They also left pages of suggestions of great places to eat and go out in Austin and made themselves available whenever needed. Great place, lovely couple, fully recommended!"
1703216,8550053,2013-11-04,7149776,Joe,"Meredith and Brian were both great hosts - attentive, friendly, and respectful.  Their place was amazing, well prepared, and very welcoming.  I would absolutely stay with Brian and Meredith again and highly recommend them and the Treehouse."
1703216,8673405,2013-11-11,2695525,Avni,"This place is very well decorated and located in a fun part of Austin. Because there are so many large windows, it feels very open and spacious. The amenities were great and the checkin/checkout was very smooth. Brian was very responsive to messages. The bed was comfy and nespresso was delicious. The only negative is that there is no privacy because the windows don't have blinds, even in the bathroom. You can see everything from outside!"
1703216,8724151,2013-11-13,9832652,Charles,"My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon, the place was beautiful and did not disappoint at all.  Brian and Meredith were fantastic hosts and went to great lengths to make sure our stay was wonderful.  It really is in a great location and you feel as though you are tucked away in the trees."
1703216,8837636,2013-11-20,1877077,Autumn & Thomas,"Brian and Meredith's Modern Treehouse is our new top place to stay in Austin! It felt like we were in a cooler version of a W Hotel suite with more space and privacy. We loved the style of the place, the furniture (all new and clean but completely inviting), and the art. The climate control was brilliant, the bed comfortable, and the rain shower great. The Nespresso machine (with coffee and espresso capsules) was a huge added bonus. We felt completely safe in the Zilker neighborhood, there was always plenty of parking on the street, and we loved how convenient it was to get to our favorite spots in Austin. Booking the place, arriving (without having to exchange a key), and all communication with Brian regarding our stay was as easy as it could be. I highly recommend this be your new place to stay in Austin too!"
1703216,8915703,2013-11-25,9448213,Robin,"our stay at Brian and Meredith's Modern Treehouse was great! we could not have asked for a better experience. The place was perfect, cute,comfy and VERY clean. we appreciate all of this, and especially that it was exactly as shown on the website, and in the pictures! 
  Meredith was very nice and accommodating, and there if you need them. Hosts are not in the way, or hovering, at all, for those that prefer that. There is nothing bad i can say, we loved our stay here! the mini frig and various waters  she left for us, was a bonus!! i would recommend this place to anyone, though would also love to keep it to myself!  ;)
thanks!!  "
1703216,9032989,2013-12-02,9332018,Kevin,"Brian and Meredith are a lovely couple.  They have created a pleasant space.  The windows and natural light couldn't be richer.  Shower is awesome.  Location is central.  I plan to stay again, and would highly recommend it. "
1703216,9119074,2013-12-08,9798138,Andrew,"Brian & Meredith's Treehouse is an amazing find in South Austin. Complete 4star amenities nestled in a real neighborhood just minutes from Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the bustling restaurant bar meccas of Barton Springs Rd & South Lamar. Check-in was effortless and Brian was amazingly responsive to any questions. The Apartment is quiet, comfortable & very clean. As a frequent Austin traveler & former resident, I hope to keep coming back as much as they'll let me."
1703216,9258494,2013-12-16,18050,Sue,"My sister and I loved our stay at the Treehouse!  Brian was super-responsive before and during.  He met me outside when I arrived, had lots of great tips, and promptly provided an umbrella when we asked.  The accommodations are absolutely beautiful, just like the pictures, very roomy, both the bed and pull-out sofa are extremely comfortable, the rain shower is awesome, and we loved the nespresso machine and thoughtful drinks in the mini-frig.  The neighborhood is so quiet except for the wonderful train sound, and the light streaming in all the windows in the morning rocks.  It was hard to motivate to leave the beautiful space with all the nice little touches."
1703216,9558980,2014-01-02,5272246,Courtney,"Brian and Meredith's treehouse was the perfect stay for our new year's getaway! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few days to ring in the new year and couldn't have been happier at this Zilker-area pad. We were able to check in easily with the coded lock pad at the front door. The space was very clean and modern. I mean the place is impeccable! We loved all the windows and natural sunlight. The bed was super comfortable! The bathroom might have been my favorite part of it...the tile/floor was something new for us. Brian and Meredith were great host. They were quick to respond to any questions we had including giving us information on cool places to check out for more permanent living. Also, they left us a bottle of champagne which we were able to enjoy while watching the fireworks above the treetops in the city. I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance. It's an awesome place in a cool and fun location/area. "
1703216,9720603,2014-01-06,5163810,Hannah,"This place is a dream come true. I can't imagine a more perfect place to stay for a stylish yet inviting time in Austin. It really does feel like a treehouse as you wake up in the morning and see trees through all the windows around you. At the same time it feels very private. It is full of natural light as well as great side lighting and bright, blendable colors at night. The bed is comfortable and the shower is amazing. We enjoyed the nice speaker system as well as all the magazines about the Austin scene. I especially appreciated the coded entry so there was no need to keep track of a key. To top that all off, this is in an ideal location and Brian and Meredith are great hosts-- very accommodating and communicative."
1703216,9753289,2014-01-07,10731462,Vianh,The reservation was canceled 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1703216,9831646,2014-01-13,3104116,Nick,"My girlfriend and I stayed here for two nights and were thrilled with our experience. The place is newly finished and immaculate. The furnishings are sleek and stylish but with no sacrifice made to the overall comfort of the experience. The bed is super comfortable, the shower is fantastic and refreshing. The little corner office nook came in handy when I had to get some work done, and the local publications Brian and Meredith have left out have a ton of great information. And the espresso machine! The location couldn't be more ideal. Brian was incredibly responsive one hundred percent of the time and answered any questions we had promptly and completely. We couldn't have been happier with the experience and I'd highly recommend the place to any potential future guests."
1703216,9978064,2014-01-22,11163986,Negar,"Excellent location, close to downtown and most of the night life in Austin. At the suggestion of Brian, we rented bikes and basically explored the whole city. It is a very bike friendly city. The Treehouse, is basically is a studio apartment (no kitchen but there is a very nice coffee machine and a mini fridge). We really enjoyed our stay. Brian and Meredith do have a very handy list of places to eat/see in Austin which we used as a guide to the city itself. The place is very clean and nicely decorated. It is private and great for a couple. Would definitely consider this place if we go back to austin."
1703216,10092881,2014-01-30,1038462,Elizabeth,"Brian and Meredith have a gem of a place!  Great location - easy access to a run trail on zilker park as well as great local spots to eat/drink (and a list of their faves!) with just a short trip to downtown and south congress!

The apartment was hip, cool, and very clean!  We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend their place!"
1703216,10248497,2014-02-09,5487955,Jon,"The apartment was great! It was located a short drive from downtown and most importantly very clean, comfortable, and easy to access. Would recommend to anyone. "
1703216,10302325,2014-02-11,8813285,Chad,"Came into town for a random getaway and decided to give Brian and Meredith's place a shot. It was an excellent choice. Very clean and modern with great lighting, both natural and electric. The location is wonderful and very convenient to either drive downtown or take a cab like we did if you don't want to worry about parking/drinking. The bed is ultra mega comfortable and we found ourselves taking naps everyday which we rarely do. The shower is also unique and very cool. I would definitely recommend to a friend and would stay again with no hesitation. "
1703216,10531099,2014-02-24,10911582,Janna,"I surprised my husband with a weekend getaway to Austin and contacted Brian/Meredith. They were very quick at responding and more than happy to assist with any questions I may have had. Our stay was GREAT!! Great location, super clean place, great shower, comfy bed and great neighborhood. Close to everything we did. We will be back for another visit."
1703216,10717698,2014-03-04,10194058,Ashley,The tree house was even more adorable in person. It had the best windows and perfect finishes. I would definitely stay there again! 
1703216,11000275,2014-03-17,1092591,Marisha,"We had an amazing visit at Brian and Meredith's in Austin. 
The apartment is beautiful and new with a fantastic shower.
It was a great haven to have during SXSW. 
THey left the place in immaculate shape and were very helpful while we were there and before we arrived. Thank you very much for being such great hosts - you have a wonderful place. "
1703216,11171073,2014-03-24,1591342,Kristy,"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Treehouse this past weekend and absolutely loved it. It was so bright, cheery, and comfortable with plenty of room for relaxing! The coded entry is a great feature and made coming/going a breeze. Brian and Meredith were great hosts - very easy to communicate with and they had lots of great tips/recommendations for the area. We would love to stay here again if we come back this Fall!"
1703216,11271845,2014-03-27,13282355,Ashley,We had a great stay in the Modern Treehouse. It was super clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood felt very safe and it was just a short drive or bike ride to some great restaurants & shopping. You would probably need some sort of transportation if you really want to see the city on your own terms. We were on a BBQ tour and Brian was very helpful with some recommendations in and around Austin! I would certainly stay again. 
1703216,11636867,2014-04-10,3978544,Beth,"Beautiful as the photos are, they don't quite do justice to this pristine, lovely apartment in a funky, cozy South Austin neighborhood. Wraparound windows let in plenty of light and allow you to feel a part of the surrounding treetops where doves are cooing all day. So serene! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in early April and would gladly recommend Brian and Meredith's well-designed little hideaway. The hosts themselves were responsive and thoughtful,  providing a list of cool restaurants and a few welcoming beers in the fridge when we arrived, as well as clearing up a little WiFi glitch within minutes of being contacted. The bed is comfortable and has extra linens tucked underneath in drawers, and the bathroom, especially the shower, was beyond perfect. I can't overstate how much we enjoyed staying here, and how much we look forward to returning one day. "
1703216,12003076,2014-04-21,10088007,Jack,"Best spot in Austin!  I loved the Modern Treehouse and Brian and Meredith were fantastic hosts.  I know Austin well and have stayed in a bunch of different places.  This will be the first place I check anytime I am staying in Austin.

"
1703216,12603789,2014-05-06,1933205,Julie,"We had a fabulous stay in the Zilker treehouse. Brian and Meredith were gracious and generous hosts, answering all our questions about Austin with patience and insight.

The property is gorgeous and has everything you might need for a short stay in the city. My camera is full of photos of design ideas for my own renovation! Comfy bed and plenty of cool air for those hot sticky Austin nights.  The only tiny downside for us - and this may just be because our sleep was out of synch. Having just landed from UK - but the train noise (which is quite far away) did keep us awake a little on the Sunday. Ear plugs would be fine I'm sure and I bet most people who live in he area don't even notice it!

We didn't have a car but walked to and from the city on a couple of occasions with ease. We also used the bus - a ten minute walk from the flat and regular service to the city. Great!

Plenty of places to walk to for food and drink and music.

We had a great stay.

Thanks."
1703216,13419456,2014-05-27,5695959,Larissa,"The modern tree house is adorable and had everything we needed for a long weekend vacation. Brian and Meredith were great hosts, and made sure we had everything we needed. "

1703216,13912769,2014-06-08,948109,Candice,"The modern treehouse was everything I hoped it would be and I would highly recommend it for others staying in Austin. It was as beautiful as pictured and was a relaxing place to come home to each day. It's a great location; close to river running paths and, for me, a close enough walk to downtown as well as restaurants and shops on South Congress. Everything needed was provided and Brian and Meredith were great and attentive hosts. "
1703216,14293303,2014-06-16,14784563,Roscoe,"Location was perfect for my weekend stay in Austin! The treehouse was amazing, perfect for lounging, getting a little work done and very easy access to all the shopping, dining and outdoor adventures you would want. Most everything was a quick drive or easily could be biked or walked to. Brian/ Meredith were extremely helpful and communicative, if needed. The neighborhood was exactly what I expected for a true Austin experience. Would definitely stay there again! Oh, and the rain shower is fantastic!"
1703216,15412233,2014-07-08,16550895,Kenny,"I live in the area, but with my limited space, I needed a place for my parents to stay while they were visiting from out of town. Brian and Meredith's place met all my expectations (relatively affordable for the area, close by my own place, clean, safe, comfortable, etc.)

Based on my parent's comments, they liked the wrap around windows, the abundance of trees, and the rain shower the most. I would say the only negative comment they made was that they could hear the train in the background on the first night. However after the first night, they made no mention of it so I doubt it was an issue for the week. 

Meredith and Brian kept consistent communication throughout the entire process. I appreciated their offer to help when needed but also respected my parents space during their time at the tree house. I would definitely recommend their place for any future out of town guests."
1703216,18829829,2014-09-01,19917176,Annee,"My girlfriend and I were in Austin for a wedding on Labor Day weekend. We loved staying in Brian and Meredith's place. The studio does feel like a secret hideout in a forest, but the amenities are that of an immaculate, funky, modern urban studio. The giant windows are surrounded by trees. We woke up every morning cool and rested and had coffee as we planned our day. The bed is a dream cloud. My girlfriend wanted to take it with us back to Brooklyn, but we couldn't figure out how to get it on the plane. The neighborhood is close to downtown and Barton Springs. We could have walked there easily in cooler weather, but it's probably best to have a car or bike in the heat. We didn't get to meet Brian and Meredith because our days were so busy, but they had set everything up for us and were so gracious about asking if we needed anything. We would definitely come back. "
1703216,20276888,2014-09-27,2497329,Steve,"Absolutely THE BEST spot!! The Treehouse is quiet, secluded and very zen - perfect if you're at a festival and need to get away for a de-frag and some quiet time. Brian & Meredith are great hosts - since I was staying for such a long period, they were happy to provide everything I needed, including keeping the fridge stocked and doing my laundry! Thanks for making me feel so at home! I will most definitely be back if I come over for Fantastic Fest (or SXSW for that matter!) again!!"
1703216,20967373,2014-10-08,6151406,Becky,"I had a great trip to Austin, my only regret is not spending more time in this awesome apartment!

Brian and Meredith's place is totally amazing. The neighborhood is nice and convenient and Brian checked in often to make sure I had everything I needed. Check-in and out was super easy and I loved that the mini fridge was stocked with LaCroix. I highly recommend staying in the treehouse during your next trip to Austin. "
1703216,21274480,2014-10-14,10910362,Colleen,"Our stay at the 'treehouse' was above and beyond. My husband and I were visiting Austin for the 2nd weekend of ACL. Both Meredith and Brian greeted us upon arriving. They let us borrow chairs to take into the festival; which was a real lifesaver. Zilker Park was within walking distance so that was great for getting to and from the festival.

As far as the accommodations, it's exactly as described (if not better). The look and feel of the place was great with all the modern furnishings mixed with vintage accents. The waterfall shower head was wonderful, and the bed was super comfortable. I definitely enjoyed the Nespresso machine; coffee and espresso in hand just minutes after waking up.

The neighborhood was within walking distance to plenty of great restaurants. They were nice enough to compile a list with their recommendations for the area. I had already done some research beforehand about places to go, but was excited to see they were all on their list too. Downtown Austin was very close (about $10 using Uber).

Would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
1703216,21958993,2014-10-27,21466389,Katie,The place was amazing! Everything we hoped it would be and more. Close to restaurants and Zilker park but in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be coming back to stay! Brian made sure we had everything we need and they were very kind.
1703216,22288046,2014-11-03,14485170,Sami,Brian was very helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed once we arrived. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and great for walks. Close to the park and also a great coffee shop. Also a very short commute to downtown via taxi.
1703216,22579058,2014-11-10,465206,Nathan,"Everything was exactly as described.  The apartment was comfortable and incredibly nice, and we were within a mile, mile and a half of everything we wanted to do.  When the heater wasn't working properly (something the hosts jumped on before we could even mention it to them), Brian made sure we had a space heater and extra blankets.  Outstanding experience all around."
1703216,24720917,2015-01-02,13829415,Brandon,"I traveled to Austin for NYE and could not of picked a better place to stay while I was in town. This ultra modern and unique listing was perfectly located and matches the pictures perfectly. The great big windows allow you to feel one with the trees all around you. The nice pull down shades are great for at night and privacy. Check-in/out process is incredibly simple. Great recommendations for places to see in all the different neighborhoods throughout Austin. Really beautiful and unique custom touches with the railing, light fixtures, and furniture. Truly local vibe and ambiance. I would most definitely stay here again."
1703216,25335034,2015-01-12,25520720,Charles,"What a wonderful, fantastic experience - we certainly could not have picked a better place situated within walking distance of so many cool spots to visit - the space was exactly as it was described, a treehouse with modern and chic amenities - a spectacular view of the city from the kitchenette at night, yet the quiet of the country - an awesome sense of being nestled in a treetop with the open airy feeling of waking up with the sun shining through the branches into the large surrounding windows - let's not forget the shower with water streaming down as if in the middle of a warm rainfall - and the best part without a doubt were Brian and Meredith our most gracious and accommodating hosts - we took the opportunity to explore their suggestions they left for us - very eclectic and spot on - definite return trip in the near future"
1703216,25608959,2015-01-20,9057261,Katie,"The place was impeccably clean, modern and fun! Brian and Meredith were incredibly easy to work with, and didn't rush us out on out last day. Great amenities including nice soaps, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer and curling iron as well. The natural light is amazing. We did not want to leave!"
1703216,25770988,2015-01-25,22103065,Adam,"We had an outstanding time in the Tree house loft. There were so many little things that we didn't expect to have provided, from a nespresso machine with coffee and espresso pods provided to some bottled water and soda in the mini fridge. The space was perfect for a quiet retreat with my wife and in a great location for us to have access to Zilker park and many of the awesome Austin restaurants. The natural light is incredible in this space and we really enjoyed being a little above most of the neighborhood which provides a pretty cool view of the surrounding area while also giving a nice sense of privacy. 

Brian and Meredith were great hosts and provided an extensive list of local activities and restaurants for us to consider. "
1703216,26108600,2015-02-03,7228319,Erin,"We had a wonderful time at Brian and Meredith's in Austin! The space is bright, airy , clean, and private. I absolutely LOVED the decor - the photos are very accurate. The neighborhood is absolutely charming and we enjoyed walking through it admiring the bungalows and modern homes. B & M were very accommodating - checking in with us to see if we needed anything but kept to themselves which made it feel like our own little private treehouse. The location is a 5 min drive to everything yet quiet. Places like this are why I love AirBnB!

Overall *****

Great Location | 5 - 15 min from everything, charming tree lined streets, quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful Space | midcentury - rustic with pops of color  Cube!

Excellent Hosts | Respectful, helpful, friendly"
1703216,26678528,2015-02-17,21981233,Elaine,"This ""treehouse"" is a very modern, airy and all around cool crash pad above the garage of a residential home.  It was a perfect ""staging area"" for our activities Austin It is in a fantastic, quirky neighborhood which has lots to do but is also just across the bridge from downtown. The space was by far the cleanest we have yet encountered from an Air BnB and Brian and Meredith were extremely attentive and considerate but laid back -- not intrusive at all.  If you're looking for a full kitchen or cable tv, this is not your place, but there is a fridge, toaster oven, coffee, and excellent wifi which worked out fantastically for us. I was able to get some work done in the desk nook while we were there, and the boom box with CD, cassete and iPod port allowed us to check out our purchases from several Austin record stores. The treehouse is also well equipped for the avid wine drinker - corkscrews, wine storage area,  wine stain remover :) (website hidden)."
1703216,27393213,2015-03-03,19288834,Daniel,Really liked this place!  I'd definitely stay there again. 
1703216,27655233,2015-03-09,26594992,Cristina,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and it was delightful.
Brian and Meredith were extremely accommodating. The apartment was actually better in the flesh, very comfortable and clean with an amazing shower, nespresso machine and wonderful magical light.
Brian and Meredith provided a list of some of the must see spots and gave brilliant recommendations for places to eat (which we took full advantage of!)
It was really convenient for us and felt like a home away from home. i would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic dreamy space all to them selves.
 
"
1703216,28115859,2015-03-18,20296879,Espen,"It was a great pleasure staying at this beautiful apartment! I strongly recommend it.

The place is really, really nice. Everything in the apartment feels brand new, and all we needed was at our disposal.
Both the queen bed and the sofa is comfortable. The shower is fantastic!

As a host Brian was warm and welcoming. If there was anything we needed he was glad to help.
Thanks for hosting!
"
1703216,28304276,2015-03-22,13974202,Karey,"This was an amazing stay! The Treehouse was even cooler than I thought it was going to be. The pictures don't do it justice. It's a gorgeous space with warmth and lots of light and a little cozy writing desk which isn't even in the pictures! The neighborhood is perfect. Quiet and  a five minute drive to South Congress, downtown, and it's walking distance to The Alamo Lamar Theaters (where movies at SXSW were playing). 
Getting into the space was easy and the hosts were just as cool as the space - they stocked the fridge with complimentary drinks! I 100% recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin. I plan on it. "
1703216,28792749,2015-03-30,856073,Colin,"Perfect space for 2 people in one of Austin's best neighborhoods. Brian and Meredith were extremely easy to work with. Flexible check in and check out times, keypad door with our requested code already plugged in when we arrived and a small fridge stocked with beverages made everything a breeze. The apartment is sunny and very well appointed. We would absolutely stay here again. "
1703216,29067559,2015-04-03,12429548,Brandon,"Brian and Meredith were outstanding hosts. The treehouse is a dream. Brian and Meredith added to the experience with excellent recommendations for things to do in Austin. Their place is also walking distance from Barton Spring, which is a huge plus. Thanks! "
1703216,29268311,2015-04-06,19812283,Lindsay,"We had a wonderful time at the Treehouse! Brian and Jennifer were friendly and helpful--Brian even helped me carry my bag up the steps when I first arrived. The place is just all around fantastic--huge windows, wonderful shower, comfy beds (even the pullout--it was great!), fun design and decor--and the location can't be beat. I definitely recommend the Modern Treehouse to anyone visiting Austin and would love to stay there again myself!"
1703216,29822517,2015-04-13,27012215,Emily,Staying at the Treehouse was amazing and very relaxing. You really are up in the trees. Brian and Meredith were incredibly nice and accommodating. The treehouse was very close to some great shops and restaurants while still being in a neighborhood. My husband and I loved staying here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!
1703216,30197223,2015-04-19,27789410,Nate,"Brian & Meredith's treehouse was the perfect first Airbnb experience. It was exactly as described. Cool, clean and cozy. Brian made himself available in case we needed anything -- but we were all set and the place felt like it was all ours. The neighborhood was quiet and great for strolling around or walking to where the action is. We're looking for excuse to stay here again!"
1703216,30761689,2015-04-27,26915928,Lisa,Loved our stay! Perfectly located. Clean and very accommodating would def reccomend this hip cool spot! 
1703216,31188468,2015-05-03,2024108,Victoria,We had a wonderful stay in the treehouse! Everything was looked exactly as it did online - if not better! We noticed it smelled brand new when we walked in and we enjoyed the Nespresso maker every morning. Thank you! We will def recommend to our friends when they visit. 
1703216,31786449,2015-05-10,1539686,Stephanee,"Another positive Airbnb experience for us.  We enjoyed our stay in the Modern Treehouse in Austin.  Brian was very responsive before and during our stay.  While we didn’t meet up, he made himself available during our time at the apartment, including checking in on us to make sure everything was ok.  Access to the apartment is made extremely simple with an alarm code.  It’s a great location in a residential neighborhood that is only a few blocks away to lots of good bars and restaurants.  The apartment was spotless and, as other reviewers have pointed out, it has an awesome shower, along with many other cool, architectural details. Nice amenities, good recommendations and comfy furnishings as well.  It lends itself to relaxing, listening to some music and enjoying a few beers after running around in Austin.     "
1703216,32406589,2015-05-17,8712770,Sarah,"Everything was great. The photos don't do it justice. Open, airy, good energy. Super clean and comfortable.  Don't hesitate on this one if you intend to eat your meals out. Fridge is large enough to hold snacks/beverages but no kitchen sink or stovetop.  Walking distance to Alamo Drafthouse!  Hosts were super responsive and accommodating but also provided plenty of privacy. We'll be back!"
1703216,33082718,2015-05-25,6723748,Shannon,"We had an amazing time at the treehouse. It is impeccably designed, clean, and so serene. All appliances are modern and the  midcentury/southwest decor is perfect in an Austin setting. While I did not get to meet Brian, he was extremely attentive and made sure that we had everything we needed. The area is residential and beautifully lush and quiet. It's just a 15 minute walk to Zilker Park, and a quick, inexpensive ride to Downtown. We were so pleased with our stay, and would book again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended if you appreciate thoughtful design and a relaxing environment. "
1703216,33682591,2015-05-31,27798969,Kerry,"We had an amazing stay in this sunny treehouse! Every aspect of the place was incredible and impeccably designed. This is a very relaxing, quiet, and comfortable place with plenty of privacy in a great location. Brian was fantastic host and was great at communicating with us during our stay. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin. Would absolutely stay here again!"
1703216,34996421,2015-06-14,1419971,Mary,"I loveloveLOVED their private treehouse so much that I plan to stay here again! Everything was as described, if not better! Absolutely beautiful and very artsy decor, the newer construction, the custom finishes, very tasteful choice of furniture and all the extras you might need on a quick vacation or work trip. The location was perfect for anything you might need, from coffee/breakfast to dinners, recreation, and more!  So much entertainment and food within walking distance, it rained during my stay so having a vehicle handy was still very useful. I loved the modern amenities, custom finishes, even the color choices of paint...most notably the stairs upon first walk in.  Brian was extremely accommodating and flexible on check in and checkout, I definitely rate this stay as a 5-star experience and would love to stay here again!  Thanks!!!"
1703216,35704639,2015-06-21,34833074,Joe,The Treehouse was amazing - even better in person than the pictures. Brian and Meredith were extremely attentive and helpful making suggestions on the best places to go and things to do in Austin. I highly recommend staying here. 
1703216,45961822,2015-09-07,29158697,Rick,"We absolutely loved the treehouse! It could not have been any more perfect. Amazing location, amazing space, amazing hosts. We met Brian one afternoon and he was very friendly and welcoming. The space was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. The Nespresso machine was an especially wonderful touch too. We loved being able to enjoy our coffee in the morning in such a lovely space. I can't go without mentioning the shower too... It was serene. A rainfall shower that looks out into the trees, and yet I still felt it was very private. We are already hoping the treehouse is available the next time we make it out to Austin! Highly recommended."
1703216,48075689,2015-09-23,39037620,Dana,"Brian and Meredith are fantastic. Very responsive via text and email. Always one step ahead of what we needed when we arrived. Location is great, walkable to South Lamar and lots to do. We had a lot of meetings throughout Austin and the location was easy to hop on highways and get around town. 

The studio is beautiful - you'll love it! Book early as I'm sure they will keep filling up with repeat guests! "
1703216,49105336,2015-10-01,28569141,Jay,Treehouse is a very nice accommodation in a quiet neighborhood. Very easy for us to walk to where we were going in minutes. The Treehouse is a good size for two people. The pullout couch is an excellent bed. Would definitely recommend if needed a place in the Zilker area of Austin. Great communication leading up to and during our stay with our host Brian. 
1703216,50427114,2015-10-12,16870348,Kristen,"We had an AWESOME weekend at the ""treehouse,"" which is really a beautiful garage apartment with views of the treetops. Everything about it was perfect for us. I would love to hire whoever it was that designed and decorated this gorgeous place! It was also in walking distance to ACL (about 15-20 minutes door to door) and a very comfortable space, with a nice living area and very comfortable bed. Brian and Meredith had lots of nice extras and attention to detail, including an espresso machine and my husband's favorite La Croix drinks fully stocked (how did they know??). Brian and Meredith definitely made us feel welcome and offered us help with the festival logistics too. We would definitely return!"
1703216,51296251,2015-10-19,26180833,Susan,"Our first Air B & B experience was positive in every way! The description of the unit was perfect to a ""T"" and Brian  and Meredith helpful with every detail. "
1703216,52102156,2015-10-26,20089086,David,"This is such a special space. Beautifully decorated, with attention to the smallest detail. Your own loft-like space on the second floor with views of lush treetops. Like a boutique hotel. Although I did not have the occasion to meet them, Brian and Meredith were in constant communication with me from the time I booked until I left, and certainly would have been available to meet I needed. The neighborhood is lovely - green, quiet, and close to good restaurants and bars. I highly recommend the Modern Tree House to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in Austin."
5454053,49532199,2015-10-04,44914781,Leslie,Great location for ACL. It was clean and comfortable and Christina left terrific instructions for walking to the park. Plan a good 20 minutes if you're going to Zilker. We lucked out and found parking a block from the park which made the whole thing even more convenient days two and three. Christina even left us a little ACL survival guide. Very thoughtful. Would stay again.
1736648,8236125,2013-10-21,9337031,Shannon,Our place was very nice and clean. Great location!! The parking was easy. The air conditioner worked terrific!!! Ryan was a great host and very accommodating to our late arrival. We would definitely stay there again. 
1736648,8531837,2013-11-04,8187339,Robert,"Ryan was a great host and it our stay went without a hitch. Great space, cool apartment layout and convenient location in the heart of the Austin downtown. "
1736648,8693388,2013-11-12,9316671,Crysthal,"Great apartment in a great location.  The apartment was very comfortable and clean. Ryan was very helpful. He suggested several places to go eat, how and when to go.  Highly recommend this apartment."
1736648,8820184,2013-11-19,9637910,Fernando,The place is really well located. The apartment is very comfortable and we had a great time! I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
1736648,9019415,2013-12-02,9250803,Veena,"Ryan was very responsive to our every need when we stayed there! My group was visiting to spend the Thanksgiving holiday there, and Ryan provided us with every item we needed to make our day special.  

Also, the place looked exactly like it does in the pictures. It was very clean and spacious. (Plus the couch is awesome!)

The location is incredible - very close to 6th street. 

"
1736648,9257696,2013-12-16,4895353,Tanner,This place was great! We wanted a place to stay for a night in Austin with a few friends and this location was perfect. It was only a short walk to 6th street and many other great places. Very clean and comfortable.
1736648,9949911,2014-01-21,4162120,Julie,"A few friends and I stayed there over a long weekend and the apartment was even better than we expected. It was clean, modern, comfortable and spacious. We were easily able to get a later check-out time too which we really appreciated. The location was great and we loved being right in the middle of all the fun in downtown Austin. The only drawback that might bother some people is that since it's a ground floor unit, there was a little more noise from the street. It didn't bother us because we felt like the price, the location and the niceness of the apartment made up for the extra noise - but it is worth mentioning. Overall, the whole place was great and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay that's right in the middle of the action!"
1736648,10537226,2014-02-24,11293380,Caitlin,"We came for a girls getaway weekend and the apartment could not have been more perfect. The location is superb, we were easily able to walk all around the city and there are plenty of places to eat, shop, etc within a stones throw of the apt. Also, having a Marriott across the street made it so simple to get cabs to the airport. The apartment is well decorated and clean, will definitely return!"
1736648,10680405,2014-03-03,4668165,Julian,"Staying at Ryan's Mandarin Suite was nothing short of perfect. Was my/our groups first AirBnb experience and definitely exceeded expectations. The condo  is very spacious and was a very great place to stay with a group rather than a 200 sq ft hotel room. The 3BRs including the living room allow for some ""personal"" space wihich is rare when traveling with a group.

The location is ideal for those looking to be downtown, with short walks to the river, many food options, and plenty of Austin night life. We did have a car, but did not need to use it .

Ryan overall is a very good host, didn't meet him but he provides very detailed instructions making for a easy check in/out and stay. During the stay he was also very responsive to messages with questions and or concerns. 

Would highly recommend this place and definitely would look to stay here or one of Ryan's other places if/when returning to Austin."
1736648,11009837,2014-03-17,10102862,Luke,Great stay. The room was great and everything was perfect!
1736648,11240988,2014-03-26,4648001,Tamara,"My colleagues and I stayed in the Mandarin Suite for a work conference, and it was clean and spacious for 3 adults.  It was a great location in downtown Austin, and we enjoyed exploring second street, 6th street and walking to south of congress.  Also really close to the running path along the river.  The kitchen was stocked nicely which made it easy to eat breakfast there before going to the conference.  All in all a great experience!  "
1736648,11346416,2014-03-31,2765202,Jillian,"My girlfriends and I stayed at this apartment for a weekend trip to Austin. It is perfect for a group since there is a lot more space than you would get with a hotel room (or even two). Perfect location for a quick walk to the 6th street bars, 2nd street shopping, restaurants, Town Lake trail, South Congress strip, etc. We even walked to campus for a concert although that took about 20 minutes. The pool is small but nice and relaxing - just keep in mind that it is in a courtyard so you don't get sun at all hours. Ryan was responsive and accommodating to our late check out. Would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
1736648,11589689,2014-04-08,6405381,Stefanie,"Ryan's place was a dream for a girl's weekend in Austin. The 6 of us felt really comfortable in the spacious condo and the 2 bathrooms were the cherry on top. There were plenty of towels, dinnerware for all of us. The condo is ideally situated; walkable to the bridge for sunset/bat watching, to bars on 6th, good restaurants from upscale to casual, to the CVS and grocery store for essentials, and to coffee shops. 

Ryan was very accommodating in letting us check-in early and the keyless entry was helpful so each of us could come and go as we please. We would not hesitate to stay at this place again. Thanks for everything! "
1736648,12528821,2014-05-05,7524160,Kelly,"This condo was awesome! Ryan was an amazing host! He was kind enough to come to help us find the garage opener and when he came upon our balloons (among other decorations) he just had a good laugh and allowed us to carry on with our evening. I would definitely recommend the location- it was perfect! 
Over all Austin was a fantastic trip and whenever I make it back, I will certainly try to stay here again. "
1736648,12726451,2014-05-09,6618204,Ross,"As always, we enjoyed our stay at the Railyard Oasis. Ryan's properties are always welcoming and provide the perfect setting for both business and leisure travel. This location puts you right in the heard of downtown Austin and will never disappoint you when looking to find a close local hangout. "
1736648,13657391,2014-06-02,12635037,Jay,"The location was very close to the bar scene, and easy to get to from the airport by bus. The condo is clean and spacious with big comfy beds. Ryan was very easy to communicate with. He even helped out with suggestions on things to do during our stay. We needed to check in early and check out late, and Ryan was very accommodating. "
1736648,14391201,2014-06-18,5389707,Derek,"This place was exactly what our group of 5 adults were expecting.  It's comfortable, clean, and convenient to all the fun in downtown Austin.  Also, Ryan was a great host, and very responsive on a Saturday night when we needed some help.  I definitely recommend it."
1736648,14691194,2014-06-24,15096128,Margaret,"The host (Ryan) and the manager (Thomas) were both extremely responsive and efficient.  The location is close to everything in downtown Austin and it was easy to walk to where we wanted to go.  The condo was spacious and clean, with room for all 3 of us to spread out."
1736648,17866276,2014-08-18,18919337,Ashley,"We had a great time! The condo is beautiful and in a perfect location for celebrating downtown and on Rainey Street.  It was perfect for our girls' weekend.  Ryan was great and completely responsive and helpful. The condo was completely stocked with everything we needed. Thanks, Ryan!"
1736648,18875101,2014-09-02,5054452,Kreisler,"Great place, great location, great communication, very spacious, and easy to get in and out no problems!  Thanks Ryan!"
1736648,19615832,2014-09-15,8837036,Christina,"Ryan made us feel very welcome at The Mandarin Suite.  He was professional, thorough, informative, and accommodating!  The space was as pictured, beautiful, with all of the commodities that we could have needed (dining ware, coffee, towels, spare pillows and blankets, etc.).  The location was by far the best for what we were there for (a bachelorette weekend of 7 girls); we walked to restaurants and bars easily, being just blocks from the warehouse district and 6th street.  The grocery store around the corner was convenient as well, and the parking space was a definite plus.  We all loved it, and I would definitely consider staying at this space again for future large group weekend getaways for fun!  The street noise is pretty loud though on the ground floor, which is kind of expected right downtown.  We didn't mind --sleep was not on the agenda for the weekend!  Overall, I would highly recommend The Mandarin Suite.  We had a great time there!"
1736648,20017841,2014-09-22,19517889,Mariko,"Great location, and great unit!  Very conveniently located near 6th street and lots of dining, as well as a short $7 uber ride to Rainey Street.  Clean unit with lots of towels, and super comfortable.  The only con would be that the one room facing the street can get a little loud late at night from the noise on the street, so may not be ideal for families with small children.  Other than that, highly recommend!  Would definitely stay here again!"
1736648,21247248,2014-10-13,5769482,Rupali,"Had a wonderful time at this place. Very clean, in a great location, and very spacious. Easy communication with host. Looking forward to renting this place again for my next Austin vacation. Thank you!"
1736648,22015123,2014-10-28,3636091,Franklin,"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Railyard during the Austin Film Festival. Location was ideal. Apartment was comfortable. And Ryan was a dependable, reliable host. "
1736648,22885277,2014-11-17,20846614,Laura,Great place to stay for a group. Close walking distance to all of the main Austin sites and easy keyless entrance made it convenient for a group. 
1736648,23425747,2014-12-01,4066145,Jonathan,"The listing description was accurate, and we had no problem finding an accessing the unit. All amenities were as described, and the location was ideal: close to the 2nd street district and to the 6th street bars. The property manager promptly took care of little things that came up, like missing light bulbs.

We found the beds / mattresses to be not very comfortable, and being on the first floor meant a good deal of noise from other residents in the building coming home late on Friday & Saturday night. Nevertheless, we had a good experience, and would stay here again. Thanks, Ryan!"
1736648,23697138,2014-12-08,16882806,Joanna,"We stayed at the Mandarin Suite this past weekend for my sisters bachelorette party. Everyone absolutely loved the apartment and you really can't beat the location! There were so many great restaurants and fun things to do within walking distance. 

The first day we were there, we had an issue with the shower curtain rod in the master bathroom. I contacted Onyx Hotels and they replied to me super quickly and made sure that I was able to contact them and get someone to come fix it if we couldn't figure it out. 

The apartment was great and definitely made everyone feel comfortable over the whole weekend. Thanks for making my sisters bachelorette that much better!"
1736648,24563537,2014-12-30,25002044,Judy,"Host was very easy to work with.  Gave all necessary information in a prompt and efficient manner.  The unit was clean and satisfactory, however it was very noisy throughout the night and early morning and the bedding was not very comfortable."
1736648,24863313,2015-01-03,19246258,Eric,"The Mandarin Suite was exactly as described, and Ryan was very thorough in describing the amenities of the place. We also had a great breakdown of fun things to do in Austin, and would definitely stay with Ryan again!"
1736648,25597727,2015-01-20,5236622,Alyson,"Ryan was a very attentive and respectful host. Though we did not meet in person, he was very quick in responding to any questions I had and was very accommodating in letting us check in early and leave late. Five girls shared this space for a long weekend vacation and it was great. The location is a lot of fun and there's tons of stuff right by the apartment. It is loud as it's on a main street and on the ground level, but we expected that. If you're a light sleeper then bring some ear plugs. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room for unpacking since it doesn't look like anyone lives here full time. "
1736648,25915492,2015-01-29,11189196,Stephanie,"Ryan was a breeze to book with and answered my questions quickly. The check in / house instructions are very thorough and made check in and travel to and from the airport extremely easy. The location of the suite is great, central to downtown and accessible by transit. The trip was for work related travel and it was great to have such an easy check in process as we arrived very late. If we travel to Austin in the future, we'll absolutely book with Ryan again! "
1736648,26059978,2015-02-02,25760873,Megan,"We had a great time staying here for my cousin's 30th birthday party. It was clean and spacious; perfect location for walking to restaurants and bars and to the river for a run. For the 7 of us, there was plenty of space and we weren't crowded. There is definitely some street noise, but we weren't bothered by it. Everyone was very accommodating and even helped us get an extra parking space. It was a great experience!"
1736648,26685415,2015-02-17,25860534,Rochelle,"Great experience and lovely home!  Only complaint was the noise outside the complex, but it wasn't bad enough to ruin our time in any way.  Walking distance to 6th street (The Dirty), but kind of far from East 6th Street.

Great place to stay and very convenient! "
1736648,26973093,2015-02-23,17361463,Jay,"Everything about the unit was in line with the description and prior reviews.  Great location, other than the noise factor on the ground floor, nice unit, no issues with check in or out.  I'd recommend it to anyone looking to be in the middle of everything and not concerned about the resulting noise.  "
1736648,27842951,2015-03-13,11236668,Jeff,"I stayed here with two co-workers for a business trip.  The unit suited our needs perfectly.  It had everything we needed: was very clean, had more than enough space, and was central to everywhere we needed to be downtown.  Ryan was a fantastic host - attentive to our needs and very responsive.  

As others have mentioned, there was some noise outside the complex over night, but nothing too unreasonable - particularly given that you are staying so centrally in a downtown city area.   

All in all, could not have asked for more in our accommodations for this trip."
1736648,28115952,2015-03-18,3201588,Patrick & Rachel,"It wouldn't even be possible for me to say all the good things I want to say about Ryan in 500 words or less. In short, Ryan Windsor is the single most hospitable, awesome, accommodating airbnb host imaginable. From the moment we booked the house, through the stay and even after, Ryan has been amazing. This was our second year staying in one of his properties, and it was so nice to see a welcome basket full of snacks and wine waiting for us when we walked in the door. Ryan is a go-to resource for all the fun things happening in Austin, and made himself incredibly available to us throughout the stay. When I called to ask him if the tap water was okay to drink, he let me know he was already on his way over to drop off a case of bottled water. I would highly recommend Ryan as a host, and any of his properties in Austin, for a warm, welcoming stay in a great city."
1736648,28421836,2015-03-23,2456227,Justin,"Perfect location, clean home, great amenities. 

All about a great property. Highly recommended. "
1736648,28775010,2015-03-30,22933455,Pateel,"My girlfriends and I really loved our experience in Austin! The apartment is located in a very central location - walking distance from everything. The team provided us with a space to leave our luggage since our room wasn't ready yet and let us check out late since there wasn't another party arriving on our last day. They were also very responsive when we had questions or problems throughout our stay. Overall, this was a wonderful, first airbnb experience for us all. I'd love to come back to visit Austin and use Ryan and the team to find a spot to stay!"
1736648,29819981,2015-04-13,24150529,Coleen,"Ryan's accommodation was a great home base for our group. It was a very central location and there was plenty of room for our group of 9 women. This is a first floor unit, so at some points we felt a bit strange with so many passerbys on the sidewalk looking in, but we simply shut the blinds and it was no longer an issue. Had the weather been nicer, we would have loved to take a dip in the pool. Overall, a solid choice for a group setting! "
1736648,30158060,2015-04-18,8884978,Andréa,Ryan was an excellent host who worked hard to ensure we had everything we needed. Very professional all around.
1736648,30380188,2015-04-21,26791437,Jennifer,"The Mandarin Suite was awesome - perfect for our stay in Austin. It's in a great location so it is easy to walk to many of the activities Austin has to offer. 

The description of the condo matched what we stayed in. The only issue we had during our stay was that the TVs were not working on there was no iPod player or anything in the house. I reached out to my contact during my stay, Jared, and while he was working to get the TV fixed, he brought us an iPod dock so that we could at least listen to music while we got ready to go out, etc. Great customer service! 

Overall would definitely recommend and would definitely come back."
1736648,32506513,2015-05-19,29229106,Shrina," We came for my sister's bachelorette and the Mandarin Suite worked out perfectly. Everything was close by and Ryan's guide was really helpful in planning our trip. Ryan was always available to answer any questions and even adjusted a last minute change in the number of guests attending. I would definetely recommend this condo to anyone visiting Austin. It was clean, spacious, and in the perfect location. Thanks for having us Ryan!  "
1736648,33223128,2015-05-26,26434958,Denver,"It was a great experience. He had the whole clean and perfect when we got there. He was always answered his phone and resolved any issues we had. Basically, he was the perfect host!"
1736648,33917357,2015-06-02,10163549,Matt,"Was in town for a wedding that left little time to experience all that Austin has to offer, but the location of the house made this a perfect place to stay, especially for a larger group. Ryan and his team were also very detailed in their welcome information and provided us with everything we needed to feel right at home!"
1736648,35100734,2015-06-15,32542250,Daniel,"Highly satisfied and would recommend Ryan's airbnb to a friend.  The place was in great condition, and fully stocked with all the necessities.  Most of all he was a great host, very accommodating and helpful with providing activity recommendations."
1736648,35550284,2015-06-20,15539259,Evelyne,"The apartment is awesome. Very comfortable and we'll equipped.  The personal service was very good, we had a couple of issues when we first arrived that were addressed immediately.  The only thing we would add is more lighting,  especially in the bedrooms.  Being on the ground floor,  we kept the shades drawn the whole time to ensure privacy.  So more lighting and/or the privacy blinds would be an excellent addition.  I would definitely rent this unit again."
1736648,40061642,2015-07-27,27018545,Stacey,"This location is hard to beat. Plus, Ryan was amazing. He went above and beyond, really making us feel welcome. It’s obvious that he treats this very seriously and wants to provide all his guests with the highest level of service. See you next time!"
1736648,43789720,2015-08-22,30981970,Steve,Ryan was quick to respond and his coworker Tom was more than accommodating 
1736648,45928936,2015-09-07,32439411,Gabe,The description of this place was spot on. Location and accommodations were amazing. The apartment was clean upon arrival and it fit all our needs. Perfect spot for a bachelor party. 
1736648,47006781,2015-09-14,29929700,Ryan,"Ryan and his partner Thomas did a great job. The place was clean and you were made very welcome with a card in each bedroom. Having a time crunch booking the place Ryan responded very quickly. When we needed to have a late checkout they were very accommodating. 

The place is very close to 6th street and around a ton of restaurants. "
1736648,47953860,2015-09-22,30100207,Kathie,"Ryan send us a very detailed email with information on the unit as well as the neighborhood and things to do, which was extremely helpful. He was responsive to our questions and the unit was what we expected. We had 3 couples and the sleeping arrangements worked out fine. The unit is a little small and seating in the living room was not enough for us all but we did not spend a lot of time in the unit. Also the unit is on the ground floor facing out to 4th street which can be loud. "
1736648,48337335,2015-09-25,40054598,Alex,AirBnb was amazing! 
1736648,48763086,2015-09-28,22558733,Allen,"We stayed at The Mandarin and it was great!  Everything was well-kept and clean, it was walking distance to EVERYTHING and even came stocked with some frozen pizza rolls (which would've come in handy if we found them earlier).

Highly recommend Ryan and his place!"
1736648,49654737,2015-10-05,43532893,Jill,"Ryan was a wonderful host and immediately responsive to any issues or questions we had. He offered great recommendations for the area. Location of condo was perfect, right in the middle of everything. Beds were very comfortable. We were very happy with our stay. "
1736648,50036291,2015-10-08,1639547,Eliza,"We had a lovely stay at one of Ryan's apartments while in town for SXSWEco. We were ultimately offered a different place with an extra bed, so this review isn't for the listed apartment. But the place was clean, comfortable and funky :) And of course, absolutely perfect if you're attending a conference at the convention center, which is literally 20 feet away!"
1736648,50444889,2015-10-12,3558621,Liezl,The Mandarin Suite was a very nice airbnb.  Thomas the manager was available and responded to our questions and concerns fast.  The suite itself was great and was supplied with anemities.  The location was great and close to everything (6th street and Rainey).  If visiting Austin again will def pick this spot!
1736648,51267215,2015-10-19,28632523,Michele,"Ryan and his team were great. Quick response time and a fountain of information. I appreciated the extensive instructions for the location, codes, parking and specifics of the unit. They also gave recommendations for where to eat, shop, hear live music and many outdoor activities. The unit is exactly as described. You are in the heart of the city so expect traffic, people walking by and noise from the ""hall"" across the street. The unit was clean and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The dining room chairs need to be replaced and there should be seating for at least 6 in the living room. Overall the location is excellent and the unit is centrally located for everything you might wish to do in downtown Austin. Take a yoga class across the street and sample a fruit smoothie after. Bliss!"
1736648,52214679,2015-10-27,9550902,Todd,"Second year with Ryan... he and his team communicated well prior to the visit and made sure the unit was well prepped. 
GREAT location, clean unit and comprehensive amenities made for a great stay."
1736648,52842959,2015-11-02,27904986,Sophie,We did actually make it to Austin because all flights were grounded. 
7732578,49523966,2015-10-04,21941872,Cindy,"Drew left us a note with some tips to make our stay as simple and comfortable as possible. He made himself available should we need to reach him throughout our stay. The house was clean, cozy, and very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. The location was great, it was easy to travel to and from downtown and ACL. We shopped at a local HEB and enjoyed our meal at the Salty Sow. We especially loved the backyard...the bench, the hammock, the string lights...all perfect for a late evening of unwinding. "
7732578,50503879,2015-10-12,10533358,David,"Drew was very good with prompt replies to all questions. His house is just as the pictures show. It was very clean and comfortable. As there were 3 of us staying for the weekend, we had plenty of room and we felt at home. I would definitely stay there again."
8472225,50515606,2015-10-12,44270277,Conlee,"Communication with Rae before and during our stay was easy and generous.  She left a nice note to welcome us and her overall tone really put us at ease.  Her place was clean and wonderfully decorated.  The online pictures are a good reflection of the feel of the interior and her fun style.  It has obviously been recently remodeled/updated.  The exterior and adjacent properties were less impressive than the interior of the home, but it's right where we wanted to be in SoCo.  Overall, we thought it was a good value.  We definitely enjoyed our stay and would happily stay there again."
8472225,52090155,2015-10-26,15888322,Steven,"Great place to say in Austin! The neighborhood seemed a little sketchy, but it was really nice and quiet throughout my stay. Rae's apartment is in a great location for downtown and other areas. Interesting decor and a comfy place to rest your head!"
8472225,53055007,2015-11-04,30715422,Justin,"We traveled to Austin for a three-day getaway, and to attend a concert. 
We love the city, but Raeanne's lovely home and her generous hospitality made us feel more welcome than we could have ever imagined. We couldn't have asked for a better host.
The apartment description was very accurate, but it's even more warm and welcoming in person. We didn't want to leave!
The neighborhood is cozy and is accessible to the heart of downtown Austin. 
Such a wonderful stay and a wonderful time, we had. "
914067,10911043,2014-03-12,12638786,Lou,"What a great experience! The house was very comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. The master bedroom is huge with a nice bathroom. The 3 other bedrooms with single beds were cozy as well. Everyone slept comfortable. The kitchen and living room were spacious and accommodated us well. 

Transportation in Austin is always tough, so we recommend renting a car. But if you don't want to, there is a bus stop about 15 mins away. It's a nice walk through a nice park. Getting back from downtown is easy, just getting down there is tough.

Will was an awesome host. Check in and check out were easy, and he was very easy to communicate with. He responded quickly with any questions we had! 

Overall, we would highly recommend this house!!"
666423,10819772,2014-03-09,3142984,Sarah,"My colleagues and I truly enjoyed Nessa's home. She was uniquely hospitable, and created a warm and inviting space for the weekend.

Thank you, Nessa!  "
209304,1016043,2012-03-19,1099431,James,"George's gorgeous house provided a relaxing retreat from the madness of SXSW. From the beginning, communicating with him was quick and painless and he was very accommodating to our needs and requests. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his house to others visiting Austin for whatever occasion. "
209304,28252378,2015-03-21,1343815,Christy,"George's place is so cute and cozy. The location was great. We were just close enough to the action to quickly pop in and out or grab a bite to eat at the near by food spots, but far enough away to avoid the noise and just relax at night. 

As a host George and fam were very organized, responsive, and kind — they made sure we had a few snack items available upon arrival. And even had a couple of bikes we could use to get in and out of downtown (gosh that helped cut down on costs Uber/Lyft surge pricing during SXSW was crazy). All in all a great spot!"
5411572,28173895,2015-03-19,27536566,Mona,"We had a very satisfying stay at the loft - it was clean, spacious, and comfortable.  The apartment complex is also conveniently located across the street from a bus stop and a Torchy's Tacos (a must-visit in Austin!) "
5411572,28325805,2015-03-22,28172771,Ofelia,Susan was an awesome host. She made my trip super simple and comfortable. I loved her place! It was cute and spacious! The neighborhood was lovely. I found out we both love Aveda products so that made me like her and her home even more. I would absolutely visit Austin again just to stay at Susan's loft. 
5411572,29874725,2015-04-13,30378524,Michael,Susan was an amazing host. Her place was perfect! Very clean with lots of room. The location was perfect as well. We will definitely be staying here again when we come back to Austin.
5411572,32439878,2015-05-17,11450908,Pete,"What a funky, fun spot! Susan was a breeze to coordinate with and my girlfriend and I highly enjoyed our stay at her loft. It was a super quick drive to SoCo and downtown. Lots of natural light in the apartment. The memory foam mattress is quite comfortable. Highly recommend!"
5411572,32639975,2015-05-19,1940105,Mark,The loft was perfect. Great location and Susan was a great host. Would definitely stay there again.
5411572,33305149,2015-05-26,32905196,Thomas,Amazing place to stay! Very clean and very comfortable. Exactly how it was represented in the description and pictures. Susan is great!
5411572,35183102,2015-06-15,6980621,Raleigh,My stay at Susan's place was great! Very nice open floor plan with tons of natural light and also a great porch which wasn't shown in the pictures (neat surprise!). Tempurpedic mattress was incredible! Susan was also very accommodating/flexible with my check-in/out requests. Would highly recommend and will be my #1 choice on my next trip to Austin.
5411572,37393285,2015-07-06,28295445,Matthew,Awesome stay at Susan's apartment. Neatly kept and in a great location. Torchy's is across the street and you are only a $7 Uber ride from downtown. Thanks!
5411572,41048932,2015-08-03,38042904,Cammi,This was the best airbnb yet ...Susan went out of her way to make us feel welcome. 
5411572,46047669,2015-09-07,40654236,Rachael,Susan's place was really great! The location was really nice and the loft was very clean and cute! We loved staying here. There is a torchys and gas station right across the street and 6th street is a really short drive away. Susan was very helpful and sweet. I would love to stay here again when we come back to Austin! 
5411572,46255914,2015-09-08,46063,Monte,"Susan was very helpful and nice. Her place where she lives is very clean and organized. It is a great location close to South Congress and tons of great restaurants. Nice private parking in a small set of units. It was a great launching pad for our activities. Also, quite at night. "
5411572,47014206,2015-09-14,24091109,Avery,"Susan's loft is lovely! It was just what I needed to get away for a bit, it's nice and central with great dining and coffee shops nearby. The loft itself was clean, comfortable and very inviting and Susan herself was helpful and communicative. Overall this was the smoothest and most enjoyable airbnb experience for me yet."
5411572,47800344,2015-09-21,16428508,Erica,"My experience at Susan's place was simple and satisfying. Susan was very responsive prior to booking, and continued to be throughout the entire process.  Her loft was exactly like the pictures; eclectic, neat and interesting.  Parking was convenient, and check-in and check-out was breeze. My guest and I took advantage of the record player and the leather massage chair, and since we didn't get the chance to actually meet, I appreciated being able to become familiar with Susan through her pictures and unique mementos. Susan left us fresh squeezed orange juice and muffins that we took with us on the road. I definitely recommend her place! "
5411572,49763762,2015-10-06,18655794,Maria,"Susan's place was perfect for our girls weekend getaway for ACL fest.  Bed was very comfortable, the couch was adequate for our third guest and we all made full use of the wonderful massage chair she has! Location was close enough to Zilker and to Congress Ave.  Over all we enjoyed our stay and Susan was very flexible with check in and check out times - a big PLUS! Again, Thank you, Susan for sharing your private space with us.  We highly recommend it.  "
5411572,50431982,2015-10-12,34047640,Raechel,A fabulous host at a great spot in an exciting city!

6938778,36347773,2015-06-27,36571637,Michele,"Terry was very accomodating in making my stay possible. She had literally just posted her listing when I responded to it requesting a reservation for that evening.  She was not expecting an instant response, but hustled that day to put all the finishing touches on her lovely rental. All newly remodeled, bed, bath and kitchen sport a retro-decor. Lovely bed linens and towels. Very quite residential neighborhood. Walkable to UT, 12 min. drive to SoCo. Cold filtered water and fresh coffee with 1/2&1/2 was available in the apt. Kitchen. Private Parking space on property. Thoughtful host. Would stay again and recommend for sure."
6938778,41804381,2015-08-09,37242628,Anthony,This destination is amazing and so close to downtown. It is has a great little kitchen if you want to cook as well! The residence is cutely decorated and I would definitely come back.
6938778,43667916,2015-08-21,29212649,John,"Very cute little place, perfect size for one or two. Well located and well appointed. The host, Terry, communicates well, and is flexible and easy to deal with. Would stay again next time I'm in Austin. "
6938778,44244319,2015-08-24,1748407,Thomas,The apartment is very cute and well furnished. Terry and her husband were around but we're respectful of privacy. I had a great experience with this place. 
6938778,47975182,2015-09-22,3716255,Sally,"We arrived very late at night access to the apartment was easy by keypad. Great central location and very close to the University.  The apartment was clean and comfortable.  Terry and her husband were very hospitable. We missed not having cable TV at times.
Thank you for recommending having dinner at Terry Black's BBQ. It was yummy!

Thank you for making our trip to Austin special."
6938778,51703428,2015-10-24,27064973,Emily,Comfortably apartment and nice location. Description is accurate. Thanks for a nice stay Terry!
6938778,52228513,2015-10-27,8632600,Allie,"My parents stayed in Terry's apartment while visiting me in Austin and very much enjoyed their first Air BnB experience! The apartment was clean and well decorated, quiet, and easily accessible. Terry had left them a kind note, keys, clear instructions, and a map for exploring Austin. I was hesitant for my parents to try Air BnB since they both worked in the hospitality/hotel industry for many years, but they were very comfortable in Terry's apartment and had nothing but positive things to say about the experience. Thanks for making them feel at home!"
4029238,28006979,2015-03-16,4516311,Pili,"Jim greeted me early in the AM after my redeye flight and made me feel welcomed as soon as we spoke. The house is situated in the perfect location as it's not in a heavy traffic area but very close to downtown Austin. It's a large condo and very comfortable. So many great restaurants and bars are in walking distance, including an Alamo Drafthouse that's literally two blocks from the condo. Perfect accommodations for groups and families. It sits on a quiet but lovely street. I would definitely stay here again."
4029238,28243762,2015-03-20,29645356,Sheldon,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8088337,45220862,2015-08-31,2940482,Joanna,"Carrie was able to accommodate us with very short notice even when I didn't get a chance to specify a check in time.  House was incredible, sleek, and clean. Bathroom was spotless and we barely even saw the owner, so it wasn't difficult sharing the bathroom. Definitely worth the money."
8088337,46214959,2015-09-08,3416184,Nathan,"A bit of a mixed review here...  First, Carrie was fantastic--very prompt response, met us exactly when planned, gave us all the info we needed for the stay.

Unfortunately this isn't her house.  2 of the 3 nights we stayed here the owner brought home a lot of guests at 3-4 AM and started blasting dance music so we couldn't sleep.  Also, I have no problem w/ people smoking pot, except that I'm military and don't want to be sleeping in a cloud of it...maybe put in the ad that it's a 420-friendly house.  If partying is your thing maybe this is the place for you, but I don't think I'll be back."
8088337,46425898,2015-09-10,6544329,Cristinita,"The listing was very accurate. The house is beautiful and it close to the lovely parks and many nice restaurants. It is spotless and feels like luxury living! 

It was a very nice, calm, peaceful stay and you get a lot of privacy and won't see very much of your hosts. If you want some privacy and relaxation after work (like I did!), it is a great place. There are very cool cafes and bars nearby (10min walk) and you are very close to the parks. If you are looking to interact more with locals though and get someone to take you around the city, there may be better options. If you are up to do it alone, go for it :) 

Carrie is super nice and very responsive, however, so she will get you anything you need!"
8088337,46960987,2015-09-14,7883744,Danielle,"Carrie was there to welcome us to the home and show us around. The house is comfortable and beautiful, and was exactly as we expected it to be. We were only there for a quick trip, but would recommend this place for a great value stay. It's within walking distance to the larger park and to several restaurants in the area. "
4045302,21308675,2014-10-14,21869909,Judy,"This is my first time to Austin and first time using Airbnb.  The stay at this apartment was great.  Neha is an excellent host.    I stayed for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. 
 The apartment is exactly as described, wonderful outdoor space is available to read and relax.  The apartment is beautiful,  very  clean and comfortable. The location is approximately 20 mins from downtown Austin without traffic, I found it very easy to visit downtown Austin which I frequently did, it  was easy to access the major Austin Highways.  Neha was very attentive to making my stay as comfortable as possible and checked in several times to inquire if I needed anything, even brought me a bowl of hot soup on one of the rainy days Austin recently experienced.  

 I highly recommend this space as a place to stay;  clean, safe, quiet  and beautiful.  
"
4045302,27406952,2015-03-03,27834167,Lynn,"Really nice stay. The room was super clean, the street was quiet. Hosts even left me some bottled water, fruit, and snacks, which I really appreciated. My only complaint is that the space heater couldn't keep up with the freakishly cold temperatures. Not a problem 99% of the time, just bad luck. "
4045302,28135222,2015-03-18,172204,Bernard,Perfect stay! Everything was as described. Easy to get in/out. Excellent shopping a couple of miles away. Very helpful host. Excellent communications. Highly recommended.
4045302,33271604,2015-05-26,5375502,Charles,"Neha has a wonderful place, complete with a nice pool.  She was easy to communicate with and made our stay very comfortable."
4045302,35594256,2015-06-20,35080011,Michael,"Neha and Omar are friendly and kind people and were wonderful hosts. Their studio apartment is perfect! It has a very comfortable bed and is quiet. The A/C, cable TV, and internet work well and you have access to a nice swimming pool outside your door. I enjoyed going on walks around the beautiful and safe neighborhood. This was my first time on Airbnb and it greatly exceeded my expectations. I have already told friends and family that I have an amazing place for them to stay when they visit Austin. "
4045302,35858522,2015-06-22,22215490,Deborah,"My host, Neha, responded to my several texts and phone calls promptly.  The Airbnb site was extremely convenient for me while spending time with my family--which was the reason I was in the area.  I appreciated the fact that I did not have to disturb my host because I did not have set plans.  It was a beautiful garden and waterfall/fish pond plus the studio apartment  had everything that I could need for my brief stay. "
4045302,36636365,2015-06-29,27698695,Carolyn,Wonderful weekend! Lovely home & surroundings of our private studio. Thank you Neha & family for making our stay enjoyable in Austin!
4045302,37403401,2015-07-06,26083490,Michaela,"The homestead where this in-law suite was located was quite beautiful. It is located in a very rich neighborhood, and we felt quite safe. 
The apartment was by FAR the cleanest space we have rented from airbnb. Owners were responsive to our messages prior to arrival, but once we arrived they were hard to reach. 

Pool was a bit dirty, and the hottub was broken. Still, we enjoyed the pool a bit on the night we arrived. 

The kitchenette they advertise is just a microwave and a dorm fridge. Absolutely do NOT expect to be able to fix anything in the studio. Host provided us with a few snacks and water bottles upon our arrival. 

The showerhead was amazing, I totally want one in my home now! The mattress was firm and supportive, but about a foot from the ground. Wifi was ""provided"" thru the airbnb app, but I wasn't able to use it to connect to their wifi, so we had none during our stay. Verizon cell service is great at this location."
4045302,52324017,2015-10-28,42485722,Jeff,A great experience. I would definitely stay at their location again. Very sweet people.
4845924,25929805,2015-01-30,24657659,Letitia,"A great place that I strongly recommend!
It was my first Airbnb experience and I will be always grateful for everything Erin and Jason did for me, while in Austin. 
They are both very friendly and respectful people. I enjoyed our talks and they were always eager to help me. The place is clean and their house is so nice, with everything I needed. Moreover, you have a good connection with downtown, both by car or by public transportation and the neighborhood is very safe.
It was a beautiful experience with a charming family. They will always have a place in my heart!"
4845924,30198594,2015-04-19,21779679,Liam,This was easily the best AirBnB experience I could ask for. The host made the experience fun and enjoyable. The space was super cool and chill. Great location and easy access to downtown Austin.
4845924,30349259,2015-04-20,30991782,Aurelie,"Thank you very much for the night! Erin and her family are very nice and welcoming, and my son felt like home with the books, games and baby bed"
4845924,30900556,2015-04-28,31345946,Leslie,"Erin, Jason, Thomas and Sasha made our family feel like we were old friends staying at a home away from home. The accommodations were very clean, comfortable, well organized with all the how-tos and direction were laid out-- use of cable, shelf and frig space-- even getting on the wireless network and printer.  The home is in a quiet neighborhood, very centrally located to freeways and downtown/north Austin areas.  Upon leaving we finished off with a game of ping pong. This was our firsts time through airbnb and we feel like we hit the jackpot.  "

4845924,52482961,2015-10-30,4362423,Sarie,"I stayed for 2 months with Erin, Jason, Tommy, and Sascha, and it was wonderful. Erin and Jason are very friendly people who made me welcome in their home and family. It felt like home away from home. Erin and Jason are very easy-going people willing to provide with any information you may need. Tommy, their little boy, is an adorable little kid with whom you will become fast friend. Sascha, the dog, is equally adorable and friendly. The house is located in a very quiet and pretty neighborhood. There is easy access to the Capital Metro Transit system that takes you to UT campus and downtown.  The next time I visit Austin, I will be in contact with Erin and Jason. No need to search any further. Thank you very much for having me for two months in your house. I had a very lovely time. "
761955,4854288,2013-05-28,5871279,Ben,First time using airbnb and it was great.  Mandi accepted our reservation last minute which was very helpful.  The house is very nice.  Would stay there again!
761955,20910970,2014-10-07,3790010,John,"Wonderful home, great neighborhood and convenient to ACL.  Spacious, well appointed and quiet.  All we could ask for! The host left information on local BBQ places that was well received by our group, in addition to other local attractions.  Would defintiley recommend it to anyone visiting the Austin area.  "

It's filled with cool spaces and located in a very nice residential Austin neighborhood, which is probably a 10-to-15-minute ride from downtown. Last but not least: Mandi was really pleasant to deal with. "
5136870,28081618,2015-03-17,15716809,Melyssa,"Keith was a great host, and was very accommodating, even swinging by the grocery store to pick up a few essentials for us to have in the kitchen before we arrived. The space was very nice, and perfect for our SXSW needs. Just watch the volume on the sound system--the lack of soft surfaces in the living room/kitchen/entry makes it louder than you think!

The house is in East Austin, which isn't the nicest neighborhood, but the house itself is great. It was typically about a 10 minute car ride into Downtown/SoCo, which was very convenient."
8592302,49556404,2015-10-04,43736017,Akeashya,It was a great experience. I enjoyed being in Austin for the weekend. Corine maybe your house feel like home and I would stay there again.
8592302,50224593,2015-10-10,45094009,Kyle,Corine is a awesome host she was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. We felt very welcome when we arrived. The house and room were on point to the description. You have your own room and bathroom that was on the other end of the house. The room was very clean and she had water and snacks available for us as well. The neighborhood was quiet and nice. We enjoyed ourselves staying with Corine. It was our first airbnb experience and we will definitely be doing it again when we travel. All thanks to Corine.
8592302,50965191,2015-10-16,6889119,Kirsten,"Corine was an amazing host!  She was always quick to respond and was also very accommodating with my schedule and needs.  The place is just as pictured and described and kept very clean.  Corine goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home and comfortable.  She's great to talk to and is knowledgeable about the area.  It's also really nice having the option of the garage entrance which takes you basically straight to the room, if you like something more private.  I would highly recommend Corine to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!   "
8592302,51767387,2015-10-24,10797371,Darlene,"Corine's place was great! We stayed for a week and felt at home the entire stay. The master bedroom is very spacious and clean. It's tucked away in the back corner of the house for lots of privacy. All the added touches Corine has in place made our stay exceptional. One of the best Airbnb experiences we've had. Thanks, Corine!"
8592302,52002739,2015-10-25,13075883,Rachel,"Corine's place was perfect. Very clean and it was exactly as she described. She was very accommodating, giving us tips on where to go during a rainy Austin weekend. Would love to stay again!"

The space was clean, the fridge was stocked, and the bathroom had plenty of towels and toiletries.  Mike met me upon arrival to make sure I was comfortable, set me up with directions around the area, etc. Was the perfect place to rest/work during SXSW. "
5077502,28407784,2015-03-23,13302550,Bruce,the room was clean and tidy and they left me a couple of beers on arrival which was nice.

I very much enjoyed my stay and I hope to return again next year!"
3791735,18931773,2014-09-02,20735745,Courtney,"This is the cutest house I've ever stayed at with Airbnb- so quaint, clean, quiet, and in the PERFECT location. We were able to walk downtown easily (even in the Austin summer heat), but also found tons to do nearby- delicious Thai at Sway, food trucks, etc. The backyard is awesome, cool that you can sit out having beers without getting eaten alive by mosquitos. Brita was super professional- house was clean, she was always available to answer questions and make recommendations, and unlike many other Airbnb hosts, she provided shampoo, conditioner and hairspray, which was so nice. I hope I get to visit Austin and stay at Brita's place again soon!"
3791735,19231305,2014-09-08,5973755,Jana,"My husband and I had a great stay at this 1930s bungalow, oozing with character. The home was as described, complete with a comfortable bed and a claw foot tub. The kitchen had the essentials but we were here to experience Austin so primarily ate out. The backyard was an oasis although we most enjoyed the front porch, lounging on comfortable seating under ceiling fans and watching the neighborhood action. Brita helped us with restaurant recommendations, which were great, and we were able to easily walk to tons of restaurants, unique shops and music venues.  We walked down the hill from the house and hopped on a city bike rental which we took for a quick ride downtown and were able to peddle around downtown and back. The wifi worked great and I downloaded the sonos app and enjoyed music when at the house. I'd recommend this cute bungalow as it's a great location and the host was very helpful."
3791735,37511339,2015-07-07,24623096,Joseph,"We loved everything about this place, perfect location and a wonderful place. I highly recommend. "

3791735,43417794,2015-08-19,4086488,Eric,"From the moment we arrived at the Hip Bouldin Bungalow till the moment we left, we all felt right at home. Brita had a seamless check in/out process and although I didn't get to meet her she was a phone call away If need be. She was even nice enough to provide a nice snack and drink assortment for us. The Bungalow was spacious, clean, uber hip-ly decorated and was very comfortable to hang out in for the weekend. Had a spacious backyard, nice dining area, cozy living room, two comfortable beds, cold A/C and a beautiful screened in front porch. The location was super hip also, a short bike ride to campus or downtown and within walking distance to several trailer park eateries and the SOCO area. I will definitely try to stay here my next Austin trip and I would recommend it to any Airbnb'er.
Thanks Brita!"
3791735,44302363,2015-08-25,18891910,Megan,"What a great place to land! The perfect location to stay when eating, drinking and floating your way through Austin.
Brita was a perfect host, very communicative and friendly.
Her beautiful home is even better in person. Comfortable beds, nice cool a/c and a screened-in front porch for bug free evenings! We loved staying here!

Thank you, Brita, for thinking through all the little details and making our stay in Austin one to remember."
3791735,45676378,2015-09-05,6108633,Sarah,Brita was a great host! She was very communicative and flexible when we had to shift our dates and even came to my rescue when I locked myself out. The house was really comfortable and in the perfect location. I would definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin. 
3791735,46300597,2015-09-09,21340596,Stephanie,"We had a great time at Brita's place.  The house was clean and comfortable and the neighborhood felt peaceful and quiet.  We appreciated the snacks and beer on our arrival.  The location was convenient to walk to the local coffee shop, food trucks, and happenings along south congress.  We didn't meet Brita in person but she provided easy instructions and tips to get around.  We would definitely consider staying here again in the future."

3791735,48907352,2015-09-29,19875152,Sheree,"Brita was an amazing host with an absolutely perfect getaway bungalow.  She has a new screened in porch on the front that was an amazing place to relax.  Her house was so clean, cute and I love her taste in decorations.  

The beds are super comfy and the pillows were perfect!  Can only say great things about her hospitality, responsiveness and amazing spot in Austin!"
3791735,51529470,2015-10-21,39647338,Jamie,"Brita's house lived up to and surpassed our expectations.  It could not have been cleaner or more accommodating, in terms of towels, blankets, etc.  We expected to use the screened-in porch for coffee/breakfast, but the beds were so comfortable and the street was so quiet that we ended up sleeping in too late most days to do so.  I highly recommend the house to others, and if we return we would definitely stay here again."
3791735,52048932,2015-10-26,15737607,Vidya,We loved our stay at Brita's house in Bouldin.  It was very cozy and welcoming and we loved the screened in porch.  Brita kindly left us some snacks and drinks and provided great instructions on how to make the most of the house.  A wonderful stay overall!
4240976,52186447,2015-10-26,13781356,Binh,"Staying at Jessica's apartment was a great experience. For a studio it was quite spacious and very lovely. She made me feel very welcome and even provided a few healthy snacks. She was completely welcoming and accommodating. ""Cozy & Convenient"" are perfect descriptors for this listing. I couldn't recommend this place enough."
5839381,30801054,2015-04-27,30313120,Petya,"Robyn was an excellent host - great and timely communication, answered all my questions before the trip, and even provided directions and a long list of recommendations and places to visit, which was very useful! The apartment was very clean and tidy, and extremely convenient - perfect location in Austin - within walking distance from the 6th Street bar scene (as well as some really awesome bars/restaurants on 5th street, per Robyn's recommendation), and a short drive to any of the local hangouts and sightseeing. The only reason I'm leaving 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's a relatively older apartment/building, so there was a constant subtle ""old house smell"". However, the price was really fair and Robyn was great, we were very pleased with everything and will definitely come back here next time we're in Austin!"
5839381,33141897,2015-05-25,12519687,Maritza,Thank you Robyn for being such a great host. Your place was perfect...it was centrally located with many things to do nearby in walking distance or a quick uber ride downtown even close to the mall. Clean and with instructions and recommendations  of places to eat and hang out. Despite  the weather  it was great UT graduation weekend.
5839381,44246955,2015-08-24,41833878,David Leo,"Robyn was very flexible, accommodating, and helpful. In one word she was awesome! I would definitely recommend her as a host. The location is very close to DT making it easy to get around. "
5839381,49761489,2015-10-06,33136302,Raisha,"We had a great time staying at Robyn's place in Austin! It was perfect for us. Walking distance to Zilker Park for ACL. She left us a great list of local bars and restaurants also. We tried almost all of them. The place was clean and neat. It had all of the comforts of home, ironing board, full kitchen, microwave, towels, extra blankets, etc. We also used the pool at her apartment one day which was refreshing. Overall we had a great stay and would stay again. "
5839381,51374407,2015-10-19,46019468,Raul,We had a great experience staying at this location. We were able to get everywhere we wanted with a 5 min uber ride. I would definitely stay here again
320466,910098,2012-02-08,1692773,First Name,The host canceled my reservation 34 days before arrival.
320466,1004031,2012-03-15,1858372,Evan,Great place near downtown. Definitely a bachelor pad with a really great roof deck. I was even able to walk home one night from 6th street when I could not get a cab due to SXSW crowds. Lots of stairs so do not rent if that is an issue. Entry into the home requires walking up stairs and bedrooms require walking down a spiral staircase. 
320466,1723407,2012-07-16,2597050,Khoi,"This place was amazing beautiful house. We couldn't stop talking about how much fun we love this place and enjoyed it. The house is welled decorated with modern decor, love the bathrooms, everything you need to cook, great sound system, nice skyline view, large backyard, nice landscape, and the best thing is that its a couple street down from downtown Austin. Christian was very laid back down to earth host and definitely we're coming back to stay here soon again..   "
320466,2329402,2012-09-17,1311406,Daniel,"Stayed here for one night  for a bachelor's party and it couldn't have been any more perfect. Christian was very helpful and gave a quick tour of the house.  We had a large group of guys and so it was nice to have multiple beds and bathrooms.  Full amenities with the roof patio, lawn chairs, front yard, wi-fi, XM radio, tv, stereo, towels, sheets, etc. We were out most of the day at the lake but it was nice to be able to come back and relax.  The layout is great with an open kitchen and living room for just hanging out and winding down.  Felt very spacious and roomy.  

Location was excellent since we wanted to go to 6th street/downtown.  Only a few minutes from downtown and cab fare was inexpensive.  

I would highly recommend for large groups and would definitely consider this place again for any future trips to austin."
320466,2519358,2012-10-06,1398785,Michael,"The place was really nice and Christian, the host, was great. However, there are only 3 beds (doubles), so saying it sleeps 10 is really a stretch. I would say that it could sleep 3 couples comfortably, but if you are 10 guys, you won't be able to sleep more than 3 people comfortably. We actually had to have most our planned guests sleep somewhere else.

Other than that, everything with the place is great. Cool kitchen, living room and rooftop patio. I would definitely stay there again, but would plan on it with fewer people."
320466,2540564,2012-10-08,3494376,Mike,"Great house. Came in town with a big group for a football game. Big TV, sound system, rooftop with view of Austin, 2 minute cab ride to downtown.  Would highly recommend this place to friends."
320466,2686369,2012-10-22,3735624,Alan,"Christian's House was awesome.  Great views, within walking distance of 6th street, and plenty of parking.  Slept 10 people comfortably."
320466,3198974,2012-12-31,3239229,Yvonne,"The house was unique and quite a treat.  We gathered for  a weekend trip and felt a house would be easier to mingle and enjoy our time without running between rooms at a hotel.  I've stayed in vacation rentals and this is the first that it was a primary residence.  Christian met us Friday evening, gave us a tour of his home then left for the weekend while we enjoyed his home. It was a perfect location to downtown and we took a quick, cheap cab ride to 6th Street.  Our intentions were to grill  and enjoy the 2 balconies but it was so cold during our visit that we merely ran up and down and took in the awesome views of Austin. The actual neighborhood is a potpourri of homes from older, unkept homes to neighboring contemporary modern homes like Christian's.  It might seem unsafe but we never felt a concern.  We drove to SoCo for food trucks and ate breakfast at Juan in a Million just minutes away.  I would highly recommend this home for a big group.  For what ever reason no one could reuse their bath towels  & for the double showering daily of the group we used every towel he had (which was a lot). There a quite a few stairs to enter  the house as well in the house so if that is a problem I would think twice about booking this home.  It wasn't a problem for us and we would do it all over again.  Christian was a great host. Enjoy the balconies, yard & awesome sound system in and outside the house! 
"
320466,3230908,2013-01-02,4437624,Charlie,Had a great time. Christian was very helpful and accommodating. Great surround sound with speakers that work on the roof which made for a great party. 
320466,3582975,2013-02-19,4700080,Tom,"Had a great time -- Christian has a very comfortable and very cool bachelor pad, and was a helpful and laid-back host. Expect 3 bedrooms, each with a full/queen/king, plus a comfortable couch and a pull-out-able futon upstairs; and two full baths and one half. Nice roof space, though it was a little windy for us to use it much. Sound carries well between floors, so early risers should try to be considerate! 

The house is very convenient to the airport and an HEB grocery store, and is about a 15 minute walk from the East 6th bars (I timed 16:30 to Rio Rita...). The 4 bus and the light rail are good options to take you into the city, too, but you probably aren't going to want to walk to downtown Austin more than once a day from here (it's ~2 mi, I'd say). "
320466,3697019,2013-03-05,4444279,Amber,Christian was a great host.  He was informative about the area.  His house is very spacious and comfortable.  We especially loved the rooftop with a great view of the cities skyline.  
320466,3780728,2013-03-14,1732413,Toph,Great! Christian was nice and communicative and the place was fairly clean and comfy. Would def stay here again.
320466,3815401,2013-03-18,4290002,Chris,"This was a fantastic experience - we were with a large group and the house and host were great. We were in town for SXSW Music. This location was good for east side venues, and only a 30-40 minute walk to the main 6th street venues. There was an easily accessible grocery store, food options, and transportation nearby. The host was immediately available if we had any concerns (which we didn't) and brought extra blankets and pillows for our large group. Admittedly, we had to share beds and bring an extra air mattress to squeeze in ten people, so anyone staying with more than eight people should understand that. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. "
320466,3889977,2013-03-25,3332469,Adam,"Great place. Safe and close to many Austin hot spots. Well furnished, and Christian was easy to work with.  Would stay there again."
320466,4162716,2013-04-15,5394095,Jeff,Awesome place for a group to get together for a weekend.  We were a group of college friends getting together for a yearly trip and were very pleased with the house.  The rooftop deck and speaker system were a big hit.  To say it is walkable to downtown may be a little bit of a stretch but feasible.  We had a great time and would definitely recommend it.
320466,4245038,2013-04-22,4627628,Chris,"Christian is a fantastic host. I was delayed by the 3rd Hundred year storm in Chicago in ten years and he met the guys that got in earlier. Responds to questions super fast, which is rare. Don't overlook a host that actually gets back to you.
The house is total bachelor pad fun, and the roof is the place to be to enjoy Lone Star and sun. Lone Star is perfect drinking for warm weather, I've gotta find some in Chicago. House would be perfect for 3 couples as there are 3 bedrooms. We had 8 men and it was a little close, but we were able to hang out and enjoy beers and food on the roof and you just can't do that in a hotel room. 
Located a little over a walkable mile from 6th street. Nice to be away from the craziness, and you pass lots of cool bars on the walk-Hotel Vegas and Hi Hat  are just a few. 
I can't wait to get back to Austin!
Thanks again,Christian!"
320466,4363466,2013-04-30,5567575,Joshua,"Thank you to Christian for hosting us in his amazing home. On the day of arrival Christian was helpful and inviting. Our weeks stay was incredibly comfortable, with plenty of room, big beds, a great kitchen for cooking, an awesome living room and to top it off - a mind blowing view of Austin on the roof top. The location of Christian's home is very close to downtown and all the bars/restaurants on the East side. We really enjoyed our stay at Christian's home and would love to do it again some day! If you're looking for somewhere to stay in Austin, Christian's is definitely the place!"
320466,4828907,2013-05-28,5177221,Bryan,"Great house and great amenities - love the rooftop area.  The only downside is that it is located a little far from downtown 6th Street area.  Cabs are cheap though, but it is hard to get one on Friday and Saturday nights after 10 PM."
320466,6428826,2013-08-12,7404638,Matthew,"Great place, good location and dealing with the team renting the house was a pleasure.  "
320466,6979123,2013-09-02,5270850,Judy,"The house and location were perfect for our five-person reunion. 

The house had great options to relax and talk inside and outside on the porch when the weather got a little cooler. Bedrooms were comfortable (each one had a ceiling fan) and all located downstairs so we could go upstairs for coffee and not disturb others. We also enjoyed looking through his book collection--some great picks on design.

The location is walking distance to some cool bars on 6th street. The neighborhood is in a state of gentrification so it's not the best walk for sightseeing. It's also impossible to call for a cab pick-up in this town so we walked and flagged them down for going to South Waterfront for dinner or shopping."
320466,7735908,2013-10-01,7049730,Danny,christian has a beautiful home in a cool section of town.  lots of food nearby and 5 min drive from downtown.  everyone really enjoyed their stay.  roofdeck gives a great view of the city. what more can i say. thanks christian.
320466,10382766,2014-02-17,10733813,Ben,"Christian and his team were very easy to work with and responded to inquiries quickly. Accommodated early check in, which we appreciated. The house  was very clean and had everything we needed - awesome rooftop deck! The only negative was that there wasn't any hot water for showers, but not the end of the world. 
"
320466,10674448,2014-03-03,4981536,Paul,"Loved the roof deck... The house was clean and comfortable, a great home base for exploring Austin. We would definitely stay there again.  "
320466,11346328,2014-03-31,2383937,Peter,"Christian and his team were fantastic. They were extremely accommodating and provided an exceptional house that was clean, fun, and close to a lot of Austin hotspots. We will definitely be back. Thanks for everything!"
320466,11993956,2014-04-21,5744413,Bianca,House was in a great location still close to down town but far enough away to have privacy. The house was filed with entertainment pieces from the view on the roof down to the interesting decor. We loved every inch. We even got to use the grill
320466,13404294,2014-05-27,3574277,Jason,"Still new to AirBnB, I had questioned what it would be like to have a large group staying somewhere and I have to say Christian's place takes the cake for being accommodating with plenty of outdoor space, comfortable sleeping options, and adequate bathroom space. The experience was great! The listing was what we expected and more. And the east side of Austin is an awesome neighborhood for it's culture, bars/restaurants and short walk to downtown. Thanks so much for having us!"
320466,15025981,2014-07-01,11800112,Kyle,"We had 7 guys in town for a bachelor party. The house is gorgeous and well maintained.  All of the appliances and technology are new, and easy to use.  We spent the majority of our time on the rooftop deck, which has beautiful views and plenty of space; also, it's equipped with speakers to add to the experience.  
     The neighborhood is being developed.  We felt safe, but spent most of our time downtown.  Taxis are tough to catch, so I suggest using Uber or Lyft;  both were new to the area and so so easy to use.  
     We had a great experience, and the house was perfect for us.   "
320466,16100115,2014-07-22,16551959,Jason,House was amazing.  Location was great.  Would definitely recommend to a friend.
320466,16912976,2014-08-04,17507684,Richard,"This place is the epitome of a chill house. The way that the sound system can be hooked up to your phone, the rooftop view, and how each room has its own vibe really brings about the whole experience. If you want to go to 6th street, its a quick 12 minute ride by taking Uber. Uber cars were always readily available in this area. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend it as it has everything you need."
320466,19192956,2014-09-08,16878558,J,"House is a cool space in a developing part of Austin. Able to walk to many of the places one would want to walk to if interested.
Sleeps 10 in the way your college dorm would sleep 4.  3 beds, including 2 double beds and one queen.  The other beds are a futon and an inflatable bed.  Comfortably sleeps people in the 3 bedrooms but the additional beds aren't much. Rooftop would be awesome space if given a little attention but is essentially just an open space.  Felt very much like we were in someone's house, housesitting, not in a rental house. "
320466,20892380,2014-10-07,14997050,Greer,Everything was great and very easy to figure out. We had no problems whatsoever and it slept 9 comfortably. 
320466,26052919,2015-02-02,14967812,Dan,"Great house, in a very convenient location. Would definitely recommend. "
320466,28073006,2015-03-17,627767,Carissa,"The house is beautiful and it is a great location. I think in another scenario it could have been a great stay. The house lacked the fundamental things that we needed to make it work. 
6 Adults and a baby. We where there as a work group for SXSW + 1 wife and baby. We worked 100+ hours that week building a tent and then managing it. We needed comfort, space and washing machine capabilities.

The house had'nt been cleared out to fit it's guests. Closets and draws where full. Master bedroom had 1 draw  - 1x2 foot to accommodate the clothes for a week for 2 adults. The small bedrooms and Bathrooms alike. Called in with the request to have more space created, but no one from the service agency arrived to remove. 

All week the washing machine didn't work. With us building/manning a SXSW a tent for 16hrs x 6days and having a baby in the house it was an extremely inconvenience not to be able to wash our clothes. This was called out upon arrival and never fixed. 

Sheets missing for 2/5 beds when we where going to bed, people ended up sleeping in their dirty clothes on the couches. Sheets arrived the next day. 

Heater problems in the bedrooms. Baby's room was freezing. Even though it was called out as fixed, it never worked. 

When you are there for work these are fundamental things you need. What could have comfortable stay, became unbearable. I actually ended up leaving early to move to friends house where I could wash my clothes. If want to charge $8000 a week, these are things that need to be functioning. You cant just rent out your home and not think that it is'nt work for you as a landlord. Your personal things need to be removed, your machines need to work. Unfortunately we would have been better off at a hotel and it would have been cheaper. 

The house is beautiful and it is a great location. If they just address the above I'm sure any future stay will be great. 
"
320466,28784388,2015-03-30,5066551,Jessica,"Fun part of town with outdoor bars and food trucks within walking distance! Fantastic rooftop with great views to boot. Clean, nice rooms and solid, open common area. Had a group of 10 girls, and we were comfortable space-wise. Had no ""traffic"" problems when we were all showering/getting ready to go out."
320466,29257300,2015-04-06,25812443,Ryan,"Great location just a quick Uber from everything downtown. Host was quick in responses and ensured the property was ready for our arrival.
Would definitely recommend!"

320466,35082527,2015-06-15,30915116,Avi,The listing was almost exactly as advertised.  This was my first time renting an Air BnB and this place really was perfect for what we were looking for.  The location was great and was just a short ride away from downtown.  The place was very clean and nicely decorated.  Couches were very comfortable and was great for our group and allowed us to really interact with each other.  My whole party said the beds were very comfortable as well.  Lots of towels which was good because we got ht by random thunderstorms.  Highly recommend this place.
320466,38094240,2015-07-13,26862603,Dave,"The house was everything we expected, and there were even cupcakes waiting for us on our arrival! The place was very clean and was as advertised, we really had a great time. It's in a great location, only a short Uber from downtown and there are plenty of good restaurants and breweries nearby."
320466,38990163,2015-07-20,29106299,Dustin,All was great except we couldn't find a place to sleep 10 (sharing beds and using couches / pull outs only slept 9 max).
4279371,21188262,2014-10-12,767246,Karinn,"My friend and I were looking for a last minute accommodation to stay in the Austin area, and Katherine and Caleb were there to help! We were able to stay in the Master Suite which was great and yes, as advertised, the bed was amazingly comfortable! They were very welcoming and friendly (and they have the cutest dog Maggie who is an absolute perfection of a canine). I felt safe in the neighborhood, and it was easy access to get to downtown.  Katherine left the guests some yummy muffins which was nice of her. We would recommend this stay ! "
4279371,21269262,2014-10-13,22335911,Virginia,"I spoke with Caleb over the phone once we arrived and he filled me in on all the details regarding entrance, etc. He also told me to help ourselves to milk and breakfast. Once inside, there was a plate of muffins, which was welcoming. Upon entrance to the master suite, I was initially impressed. Once I discovered the cat hair everywhere, though, I knew the night was not going to be pleasant for me, because I am allergic to cat hair. I did not know a cat lived (or had lived) in the house. Needless to say, I did not sleep much because of the constant itching. I probably will not use Airbnb again."
4279371,21933750,2014-10-26,22697447,Martin,"Caleb and Katherine's place was really clean and had a nice relaxing atmosphere to it. They could accommodate us even though we made it pretty late, so that was definitely a plus. The instructions were clear, the bathroom and bed were all kept clean and comfortable. Parking was easy to find as they have a dedicated spot for guest parking. All in all we enjoyed our stay. "
4279371,23655506,2014-12-07,16129203,Jason,Caleb and Katherine created an easy and welcoming experience.  The bed was huge and perfectly comfortable.  Thanks for making my time in Austin awesome.
4279371,26650857,2015-02-16,13856250,April,"Wow! This stay was wonderful. Caleb and Katherine's home was just  lovely. Everything was clean and had a very nice ambiance. The King size bed was amazing, we did not want to wake up. I did not actually get to meet them, but they did very well about making sure we checked in alright and that we had everything we needed. I did meet their dog. Sweetest, gentlest, calmest, most adorable dog! 
Stay here! You won't regret it! Highly highly (website hidden)
They have a hammock. It's awesome! :)"
4279371,27374953,2015-03-02,28360213,Mike,"Caleb and Katherine are amazing hosts. We arrived a little late but they were still awake to welcome us in. We sat up until after midnight talking and joking. Their home is very cozy and the room is great! Maggie is such a sweet addition also. My wife and I enjoyed our stay very much, and will definitely be back!"
4279371,28850773,2015-03-30,30012684,Elyssa,"Staying with Katherine and Caleb was the best experience. Walking up to the front door we immediately got greeted by their sweet dog Maggie and a warm hello from Katherine. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in and it fit me and two other friends comfortably. This was my first time using Airbnb so I was a bit nervous, but they made us feel right at home. I definitely plan to stay here again sometime. Also their home was not far from downtown at all. Overall, amazing experience. 5 stars. "
4279371,30355327,2015-04-20,30928597,Barbara,"This was our first Airbnb experience.  Caleb and Katherine made us feel very welcome.  Good communication.  Easy to find with their directions, room was very comfortable and we had a great night's rest.  Very quiet neighborhood.  Although we were in late and out by 10 am, looks like a night place to take a walk along the wooded area if you are there longer.  Thanks!"
4279371,30726923,2015-04-26,31310662,Caitlyn,"Katherine was so sweet and welcoming, answering any questions we had prior very quickly and then hospitable when we came in. The house was even better than expected and the bed was amazing! The neighborhood was a condo complex, nothing fancy. "
4279371,31415090,2015-05-04,11598008,Joe & Janie,"Janie and I enjoyed the condo and especially
The location
We hope to be able to longer and enjoy the pool "
4279371,33045822,2015-05-24,21222639,Jason,They were very warm and kind upon our arrival. It was a comfortable space and provided a great night's rest. 
4279371,33167420,2015-05-25,33224506,Noel,"The apartment was clean and welcoming.  The host were very accommodating as they provided a print out of pertinent information.  They expressed sincerity as they kept in touch during our stay.   We did not meet them, but we will definitely consider staying in the future.  "
4279371,34598775,2015-06-09,34998849,Joshua,"Caleb and Katherine had a comfortable bedroom and bathroom set for us when we arrived. We were running a bit late (11:00 pm), but were welcomed with smiles and even talked a bit. They were very accepting of our puppy who, unfortunately, made a couple of messes. The neighborhood was quiet and secluded but it's location was a short drive from all our hot spots! "
4279371,52195889,2015-10-26,32426299,Fabiola,Great private room and bathroom. The bed was definitely comfortable. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay in Austin and staying at this location.  Caleb and Katherine we're welcoming and their dog Maggie was so friendly. I recommend this place if you're in Austin! 
4279371,52809304,2015-11-01,28058969,Pierre,"This was our second stay at Caleb and Katherine's condo and it was another great stay. The bed was comfy and the room was spacious and clean. We really appreciated the suggestions about what activity we could do during our stay in Austin when a thunderstorm hits the city. 

If we go back to Austin, we will definitely try to stay at Caleb and Katherine's place. Thanks y'all!

7790760,49617277,2015-10-05,6876305,Daniel,Nathan was one of the best hosts I have ever had. I can't say enough positive things about his professionalism and the quality of his home. Nathan was easy to reach and quick to respond to any questions or issues I had. His place was both gorgeous and immaculate. One of the best stays I have ever had on airbnb.
7790760,50631369,2015-10-13,8617820,Diana,"4 of us stayed at Nathan's apartment for ACL weekend. The apartment was great! Beautifully decorated, plenty of space, and super clean. The apartment was equipped with everything we needed- pots/pans, plenty of toiletries, etc. We felt right at home! The apartment is located about 10 mins from zilker, and about a 10 min uber to downtown. We loved the location, it was not busy and we felt very safe staying there.

Nathan was a wonderful host, such a nice person! Everything was so easy and stress free- from the booking to the check out! I would definitely recommend staying here!! Thanks again, Nathan!"

3478000,36894742,2015-07-02,28481511,Ben,The Treehouse was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs for 5 nights in Austin.  We rode our bikes to Zilker park and Barton Springs pool.  Everything was as advertised and working with Cynthia and Jay was effortless.  I can not recommend the Treehouse and it's hosts enough.  Thanks!!!

3478000,38410375,2015-07-15,29416013,Jeannie,"Once we made our reservation, Cynthia began communicating with me. She gave me all the details needed to access the property and utilize it fully. Once we were on the road she asked that I stay in touch so she could ensure that everything was ready when we arrived. After a long, sweaty car ride, it was lovely to enter a welcoming apartment with the air conditioning running. During our stay both Peach and Cynthia checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. The apartment was clean and well-stocked with more amenities than I was expecting. It was our first experience using Airbnb and it was an excellent one. We plan to return to Austin next summer and will look to stay in one of Cynthia and Peach's Zilker properties."

3478000,49177417,2015-10-01,11668439,Steve,"Really enjoyed the place. Very well appointed and comfortable. Even had a Bialetti coffee maker which made me quite happy and well caffeinated. Cynthia and Peach were very kind, responsible, considerate and even pre-emptive in their hospitality. Planning a return already."
3478000,52724142,2015-11-01,5644784,Gregory,"Cynthia and Peach's place is truly a great spot in Austin to spend your time. Just minutes from Zilker Park, it offers a great view of the city. Clean, comfortable, with great amenities, you won't be disappointed. My family and I walked along Barton Spring to the Colorado River, then up to Congress street for some food and unique shopping. Enjoy your stay at the treehouse."

Megan was out of town when I arrived, but she had left post-it notes all over the apartment with all the info I needed, and was always very good with communication. Would absolutely stay there again!"

She left us notes around the house to help us navigate and suggested places to try. We had everything we needed and were in a beautiful historic neighborhood close to everything. Even Uber drivers were envious of our location :) Thank you!!
3065681,13489975,2014-05-28,7972850,Jacqueline,"I needed a vacation. Even though I live in Austin I don't have a swimming pool. Rusty, the host, had an option with a room, or the tent and pool option, we did the latter. I must say the pics don't do it justice! Perfect outdoor oasis! Also he had a beautiful fish pond and waterfall near the pool, when you relax beside the pool you can hear the (email hidden)tter than I could of imagined. Rusty even had plenty of beach towels, sun lotion, pool toys, and even a shower w/shampoo & conditioner for us to use. He also gave a nice list of accommodations in the area, and was a very hospitable host. I will definitely make this my private oasis when I'm wanting a quiet, serene place. We'll be back. Thank you Rusty! "
3065681,17604544,2014-08-14,363615,Michelle,"We spent two wonderful days swimming and relaxing at Rusty & Leslie's and only have great things to say. We camped in our 87 Westy and just loved it. They added nice touches - ice in the cooler, shampoo in the bathroom and even have us a lift to the Metro station to go and check out downtown Austin. I'd recommend anyone doing a road trip stay here. Especially if you're travelling with kids and pets!"
3065681,18746300,2014-08-31,4331884,Jamee,We met Rusty upon arrival and he gave us a little walk through of the back yard and a run down on all the best places to eat and drink in close proximity. Great recommendations. It was so nice to be able to cool off in the pool during the heat of the day. The neighborhood was very quiet. Even for sleeping outside in a tent. The most noise we heard during our stay was a couple birds and a squirrel dropping pecans from the tree above us. We had an awesome stay!
3065681,18925778,2014-09-02,4616672,Andrew & Yesenia,Rusty & Leslie's backyard was perfect for our little camping trip to Austin with our furry friends.  The pool was very nice and refreshing after a hot day.  The bathroom and outdoor kitchen were well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay a great one! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for other guests. 
3065681,20761835,2014-10-05,8925197,Jaclyn,"This house is pretty amazing. My 8 year old niece was very impressed, she especially like the water slide.  Rusty was super helpful, he was available for travel recommendations and even had a cooler setup for us to use filled with ice when we got there. We felt safe there and had a wonderful time. I  highly recommend, 10 stars. :)"
3065681,21157454,2014-10-12,5557354,Christina,What an amazing trip to Austin!  So grateful Rusty offered to set up our tent so we didn't need to bring camping gear. The place was perfect for our trip!   XOXO
3065681,26659086,2015-02-16,552399,Steven,"Rusty and his wife Leslie and their dogs Booners and Tia Mia are awesome. It's for campers, bring your own tent or for a little more cash money they will put you up in one. Rusty is doing good things, soon there will be living quarters. Go check it out! "
3065681,28151366,2015-03-18,772346,Laurel,"Rusty made us feel very welcome.  We really enjoyed our stay there.
"
3065681,28310469,2015-03-22,4331884,Jamee,"Rusty & Leslie were awesome hosts! Super friendly and helpful. During our stay in their backyard the weather was expected to get rough. They made sure we knew if we needed a place to crash out of the bad weather, they would help us out. Fortunately it didn't come to that, but we were relieved to know they had our backs."
3065681,31373313,2015-05-04,4326576,Bahareh,"Rusty was an amazing host. I live in Austin, but I was looking for a place with swimming pool that I can rent to have my party. We were around 15 people and the place had enough space for all of us. He made us feel at home. He put a cooler filled with ice ready. He is very communicative from the beginning to end .The back yard area is more beautiful than the photos you and perfect to hang out with friends and family.
I would come back for more parties in future."
3065681,34247116,2015-06-06,34484758,Joe,I had a great time staying with Rusty! He really made me feel at home and even took me out for a little socialization!  Awesome time and I would recommend this place to anyone!
7180503,38076715,2015-07-12,524280,Paul,"Bob is an easy going and accommodating host. He's got a spacious, brand new place with high ceilings and cool tech gadgets. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. I'd stay there again!"
7180503,40804043,2015-08-02,524280,Paul,"Booked with Bob again - came to Austin another time, and had a nice stay at his place, just like during the previous visit. We even got to hang out a bit in the places around the neighborhood."
7180503,43450411,2015-08-19,6090667,Kyle,"Great stay. Clean, comfortable and modern. Was an experience just staying for one night in itself. Kind regards to you Bob. Thanks for the accommodations. I'll be back when I'm in town again!"
7180503,46774089,2015-09-13,23268619,Chuck,"Bob is a gracious and welcoming host.  His place is in a quiet, residential section of Austin's classic Hyde Park.  The house is modern, spacious and clean.  Bob's dog is friendly but often vocal.  I would count that as the only drawback to an otherwise pleasant stay.  "
7180503,47937506,2015-09-21,31244589,Wj,"Bob was extremely nice and welcoming to us! We had a great experience with him in Austin. For the price, the location is perfect and his house is spacious and comfortable. And his dog is so cute and friendly! I would love to stay here again!"
7180503,48855616,2015-09-28,12236721,Aleah,"My boyfriend and I ended up needing a room late on a Saturday night and Bob was nice enough to let us come in. It's a cool, new, modern home in a fun area. The room is plenty big and also very bright. We would've been happy to stay longer."
7180503,51289398,2015-10-19,39181736,Paul,"Nice modern clean house, 80% solar powered! Quiet neighborhood. "
7180503,52824319,2015-11-02,38286716,Tammy,"This was my first Airbnb experience and Bob met all my expectations. My boyfriend and I got to the listing later than expected and he was very understanding about it. We were greeted by Bob and Circuit, a very friendly corgi! Bob wasn't around much but he was always a text away whenever we had questions with anything. The only complaint I had is the room was not super clean. Circuit sheds and a lot of her hair was on the bed and everywhere on the floor. (Be sure to bring a lint roller!) However, I would definitely return to this listing whenever I'm back in Austin!"
933021,3819064,2013-03-18,2813587,Paul,"I stayed here for SXSW, the space is separate from the main house and quite spacious and very clean.  Faisal is a very helpful, nice guy who you'll love.  Everything is perfectly clean, and he even stocks it with some essentials. Wifi works great. It's about a forty minute walk into downtown Austin, if that's where you're headed.  It's very close to South Congress, which has lots of nice restaurants, clubs, etc. "
933021,5169049,2013-06-16,6370976,Kelly,"Faisal and his girlfriend were awesome hosts. Very friendly and accommodating, and even offered to pick us up from the airport. The studio is a cute little space situated above the main garage so it's nice and private. There is no kitchen space, but Faisal gave us the keys to the main kitchen and we went in and made a pot of coffee in the morning. The studio is a bit of a walk to the main area of soco, and we only stayed for two nights (I was with my mom, so she was not a fan of walking in the intense heat) then moved dt to stay somewhere a bit more central. I would definitely recommend a car if you want to explore Austin while staying here (though the hosts offered to drive us anywhere we wanted)"
933021,5613456,2013-07-08,6808862,Barbara,The garage studio was a very comfortable space with plenty of room to spread out and relax. There is a wonderful energy and light about the space and there is nearby green space.  We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood to start the day.  The location couldn't have been more convenient and Faisal was very flexible with check-in and check-out.  Easy access to South Congress and I-35 made it easy to get around to all the places we wanted to visit.  
933021,7086867,2013-09-05,8519066,David,"Excellent stay.  He was straightforward and accommodating.  There were no problems, and the place was very nice!"
933021,7630285,2013-09-27,5325586,Jesse,"My stay in Faisal's loft was perfect!  I couldn't have asked for anything more to be honest.

The loft is located in a separate building next to Faisal's home.  This is actually a renovated room above the garage with its own entrance way.  The loft was very modern and comfortable to stay in.  

A few things that I think are worth mentioning:

 - Shampoo and Body wash were provided.  This was amazing after flying only carry on and forgetting to make a stop at the local drug store for this stuff!
 - There was an AC unit that was massive and was able to cool down the loft to a perfect temperature in a very short amount of time.
 - Everything was exceptionally (website hidden). No bugs, everything was new, no dust and clutter free!
 - Lots of towels and face clothes were provided
 - Parking was very easy to find.  90% of the time I was actually able to park directly out front of the house.  The other 10% I had to walk about 30 feet.  Obviously no big deal there!
 - Fast WiFi was accessible from anywhere within the loft.
 - And lastly Faisal and his wife were amazing!  I was invited into their home to do laundry any time I wanted, invited in for coffee in the mornings, etc..  Great hosts!!"
933021,8009660,2013-10-12,5132438,Kelly,"Faisal and his wife were amazing hosts! The studio loft was very clean and comfortable. A lot bigger than it looks! Great bathroom and shower. It's a great location and you can walk to South Congress in 10 minutes. 
We were invited in for coffee in the morning and made to feel very welcome. Couldn't have asked for anything more!"
933021,8123359,2013-10-16,4169194,Hayley,"Very friendly host and a nice clean apartment. 
Also a handy location  for South Congress and Rainer Street.
Unfortunately there was a lot of rain when we stayed but Faisal recommended the local 'Whip Inn' which was a great bar not to far away.
Thanks for having us!"
933021,8218662,2013-10-21,8808397,Sophia,"Totally loved this place! Highly recommend for privacy and close to SoCo, if you don't mind walking. Own entrance, up stairs above the garage, huge room and bathroom! Lovely fluffy towels supplied and cups, glasses, plates and cutlery. No place to cook though, unless you used the microwave! Faisal was lovely, and so helpful, as was his girlfriend Trisha. Good responses on airbnb site and answers to my questions in person! Trisha helped me sort out my phone and Faisal took me back to the airport really early in the morning when I left! Safe area to walk around, and not far to Congress Ave, where shops etc are. "
933021,8828045,2013-11-19,9862797,Eric," Faisal's studio space was fantastic. Very comfortable and close to both, South Congress and neighborhood and the freeway as well.
Very great hosts!"
933021,8901171,2013-11-25,8903950,Kathryn,"We enjoyed our stay at Faisal's garage apartment--comfortable, spacious, and private. It's less than a mile from the hip South Congress (SoCo) neighborhood, where you'll find interesting places to eat, browse, and shop. And Faisal is a friendly, acommodating host."
933021,9165171,2013-12-10,4899479,Jeremy,"Location is good.  Price seemed very fair for such a spacious, clean
apartment.  Faisal was very accommodating and responsive.  He even offered a ride to the airport."
933021,9235214,2013-12-15,10566235,Nick,"Faisal's studio space was perfect for my needs. After a conference downtown I had a few extra days in Austin to catch up with some friends and get some needed rest post-conference. 

The space was clean, relaxing and suited me well. Faisal was accommodating, cordial and attentive. My previous plans changed at the last minute and Faisal was prompt in addressing my reservation and within a few hours of the mouse click I was ready to go and set up for a 12 hour post conference slumber.  I was given the space needed to relax, but Faisal was clearly there should I need anything, interested in the art exhibit and local movie screening I was going to and even offered a ride to the airport. 

Happy to return to this space in Austin again, convenient to the parts of Austin I adore.  Ill be back when next year's annual conference comes around. "
933021,9899458,2014-01-18,7892104,Anne,"Great location, great space, great hosts! I stayed at Faisal and Trish's Studio apartment while visiting my children in Austin and found it to be the perfect place for my stay. It was quiet, clean and had everything I could want, even flowers! I will definitely be back now that I have such a perfect place to stay.
 "
933021,9962373,2014-01-21,1126357,Darren,"Had an amazing long weekend in Austin thanks to Faisal and Trish. 
Great hosts -- charming, considerate, fun to talk to and provided fantastic dining, sight-seeing and jogging-route suggestions. Great space -- spacious (would be a large one-bedroom if they put up a wall), quiet, excellent shower, comfortable bed -- in an awesome location right by South Congress. We will definitely stay here when we return to Austin. "
933021,10013823,2014-01-25,11337383,Sean,"I liked how Faisal gave advice yet wasn't intrusive into my stay. The room is nice and well cared for. As a host, Faisal is everything you could ask for."
933021,10300750,2014-02-11,4671607,Kat,"Faisal and Trish have a gem in Austin! Their place is adorable and ideally located in Travis Heights, within easy biking or moderate walking distance to the awesome SoCo neighborhood. Easy parking for cars is on the street in front of the house.

The studio itself is tastefully done: large and well lit and nice temperature controls. I was toasty warm during an unusual cold spell in the area. I think the space will just be improved upon with the kitchenette that Faisal is installing. 

Faisal and Trish are the sweetest hosts, friendly and accommodating and full of good food and place recommendations in the area. I will happily stay again on my next trip to Austin! "
933021,10366037,2014-02-16,3033431,Becky,"Faisal is a thoughtful and responsive host. The studio space is large, well equipped and the neighborhood can't be beat! My boyfriend and I came to Austin for a conference. There is no need for a car when you stay here because you can get wherever you need to go on a bike. The only thing I would change about the stay is the length of it - I wish we had stayed longer! "
933021,10573642,2014-02-25,11881492,Judy,"Wonderful in every way!  Very quiet, zen-like,and comfortable space, in a great neighborhood, conveniently located so that it is easy to get anywhere.  Faisal and Trish were kind and helpful: perfect hosts.  Will definitely go back!!"
933021,10727906,2014-03-04,3168932,Geoffrey,Great apt. It's a beautiful and private studio super close to the great South Congress neighborhood. Faisal and Tricia are wonderful hosts!
933021,11007487,2014-03-17,467246,Ben,"A fantastic place to stay in Austin. Lovely hosts, extremely helpful and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great space to stay in Austin. Thanks for everything, guys!"
933021,11221503,2014-03-25,12028967,Debi,"We had a wonderful stay! Very spacious, clean and a great bathroom.  If you don't mind walking, it's fairly close to South Congress, but more ideal if you have a car. Then you're literally 5-10 minutes from everything in Austin, two minutes from 35! Faisal gave us lots of great tips on things to do and he welcomed us with a lot of nice things in the apt; coffee, sparkling water, cheese, etc. It will be an even greater space once the kitchen is installed but for now the fridge, coffeemaker and microwave were all we needed. We loved it."
933021,11355933,2014-03-31,12154916,Emily,"My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time at this location.  It was very easy to get around from there, near the interstate, but also very close to S Congress.  The space had everything we needed: spacious bathroom, plenty of towels, dressers and clothing rack, desk to put computer on, small lamps for night light, very comfortable bed, dishes, silver wear, small refrigerator, coffee maker, water boiler, microwave, even a bike :)  It was even more spacious than the pictures led it to be.  The host was terrific.  He checked in on us to see if we needed anything, he suggested great places to go around town, and helped make our trip perfect!"
933021,11535414,2014-04-07,1881141,Janine,This was a great space to come back to after enjoying a day of sightseeing and experiencing the fun Austin vibe. Faisal is a fantastic host. He checked in with us after arrival to make sure everything was going OK. The studio is quiet and close to South Congress. I would definitely recommend staying here.
933021,11781706,2014-04-14,14081565,Josh,This was my first time to use the service so I was a bit apprehensive when I booked with Faisal. All of my concerns quickly disappeared when I saw the room and met Faisal. Room is exactly as described and photographed (except for the bottle of wine! ha!). Plenty of space and amenities for a long or short stay; even a bike with helmet and lock for your use! Studio is located VERY close (walking distance) to South Congress and within 1.5 miles of downtown. I'll keep it short - BOOK WITH CONFIDENCE!
933021,11932010,2014-04-19,1463580,Laurie,"Cozy, clean studio in (Travis Heights area) Austin TX. Faisal is quick in responding to communication & checking in with how your stay is. He & Trisha allow privacy & offer assistance as requested. ""Kitchen"" area in the building stages, though microwave, refrigerator and dishes make basic food storage & prep easy. 15min walk to bus line, 2.5 miles from dwntwn. Easily a recommended studio to stay while in Austin."
933021,12059236,2014-04-22,12457523,Tricie,"     This was a fabulous place, and our hosts were all that we could ask for.  Our trip to Austin was pretty much perfect, with the exception that it was too short (3 nights).  We took advantage of the bike Faisal allows guests to use and we spent our days kayaking the river, biking to the Botanical Gardens and Sculpture Garden, and seeing the capitol.  For our evenings Faisal recommended favorite restaurants in the area and we biked through the festivities on 6th street. 
     The accommodations were superb - comfortable, and obviously Faisal takes excellent care of the place with his attention to detail. The room itself was airy, spacious, with a large bathroom and peaceful lighting.  Comfortable bed, a cozy sitting area, an outdoor bench on the porch overlooking the garden for morning coffee, and a kitchenette area with fridge, microwave, coffee pot and utensils made us feel cozy and at home.  
     Faisal was an excellent host - responsive via internet and text, answering questions as needed but not imposing at all.  Overall excellent experience."
933021,12278358,2014-04-28,7895281,Gina,"My boyfriend and I had a blast in Austin this weekend, and a huge part of that was loving where we stayed. Great location and so very spacious. For a studio it was ample square footage, and a big bathroom as well. Most importantly the block was very quiet for a good night's sleep. And Faisal responded almost immediately to every question and was extremely accommodating and helpful. We were so happy we discovered such a gem. And we miss Austin already!"
933021,13368664,2014-05-26,7980761,Nicola,"Super spacious studio with lovely hosts. We were only there for 3 nights for a wedding but would love to have stayed longer. Air conditioning was great, and was lovely to have a morning coffee on the porch. Well located for going out and vintage shopping in south congress. Faisal was a brilliant host - very friendly and helpful, giving us tips on swimming spots etc and even offering to loan his running shoes! Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. We'll be back!
"
933021,13757538,2014-06-03,7363338,Whitney,"Faisal and his wife were lovely and accommodating; communicative but never intrusive. Their space was perfect for 2 people, and the 3 nights we spent there were lovely. It was a very hot weekend when we visited, but the apartment had a really nice cooling system, and we were totally comfortable. It was closer to South Congress street than we'd realized, and it was a pleasant walk through their cute neighborhood to lots of nice bars, restaurants, and a swimming hole. "
933021,13963644,2014-06-09,14836186,Yezenia,"I stayed at Faisal's two nights and it was a great first airbnb experience for me and my friend! The room was clean, cute and very well kept. We had no problems whatsoever. Although we were barely at the house, I would definitely do another reservation with Faisal. 

He made sure we had everything we needed and would check in with us in the mornings to see if everything was okay. It's a pretty close location to 6th and South Congress - where we mainly dined - and it's in a cute area known as Travis Heights. 

I think that if you're looking for somewhere close to downtown, this should be the place you pick. There is a full bathroom and a pull-out coach; the bed was also quite comfy, too! "
933021,14192367,2014-06-14,4537023,Alesha,Our stay at Faisal's studio was absolutely perfect! He was one of the only air bnb places in Austin that was baby friendly - the space accommodated two adults and a baby really well. We brought a pack n play and had plenty of space. The studio was very clean upon arrival and Faisal was in the process of installing a small kitchen which made it nice to make some of our own meals when we didn't want to eat out. There was also a bike to use but since we were a family of 3 we drove everywhere. The location of the studio is ideal too - very close to lots of fun restaurants in SoCo and not far from downtown Austin. I highly recommend booking with Faisal and Trisha!
933021,14703720,2014-06-24,5821773,Cecily,"Our stay in Austin was perfect thanks to Faisal and his lovely girlfriend. The studio was exactly as described and really convenient to everything. The studio is furnished with everything you would need, and the wifi works great. Our hosts were really easy going and available if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend staying here. "
933021,14989231,2014-06-30,16595944,Carlos,"Our stay at Faisal and Trisha's place was great. Nice neighborhood, clean and quiet place. Definitely recommended."
933021,15928578,2014-07-18,6530312,Ning,"Clean and neat room, great hospitality. I was very happy with everything. Austin is so beautiful, but very hot this time of the year. I would suggest renting a car, much easier to get around. "
933021,18882388,2014-09-02,3614992,Ann,"We had a great six days in Austin! Faisal's place was very centrally located, whether the idea was to walk around, bike, or hop onto the highway. We loved being close to South Congress, where there were plenty of shops and restaurants to keep us busy. 

Being close to I-35 was also really convenient, since we wanted to check out Hamilton Pool and spend a day in San Antonio, plus we had to attend a wedding out at the Salt Lick.

Faisal was a great host too, making sure he answered all our questions before he went on (email hidden)d being very accessible by cell phone even after he left. We felt completely at home, would definitely recommend his place to anyone staying in Austin for any amount of time."
933021,20734844,2014-10-05,15523307,Catherine,"This was a great place to stay during our annual ACL outing.  It was just as described. Neat and close to hot spots.  I did fail to notice on the description that there was no television.   My husband and I are both T.V. watchers.  Bad habit, but it's our indulgence.  Definitely enjoyed our stay here. Quiet neighborhood in a good location. Faisal was a great host and made sure we had what we needed. 
"
933021,22133663,2014-10-31,141319,Ourdia,"Faysal's place was exactly as described, homey and very clean. It's close the fun South Congress area of Austin with great eating places and Jo's coffee shop, a must go-to outdoors spot.
Faysal and Trisha couldn't have been better hosts. They made sure I was as comfortable as can be, solicitous without being overwhelming. I definitely recommend their place."
933021,22704021,2014-11-12,8710243,Cindy & Dean,"We spent a great 3 days in Austin and Faisal's private studio made a very convenient, centrally located spot to explore the city. I had a lovely run down to and along the waterfront one morning, and the surrounding neighborhood was also fun to explore. We hopped on a city bus one day to the city center ($1 each way), but mostly used our rental car to get around. Nearby is the So. Congress district where there is great food and music (check out the Continental Club). 
Faisal was a great host too, making sure we had recommendations for food and music, and all our questions answered. The location was on a somewhat busy street, but the space was quiet. Everything was clean and comfortable. There is a small kitchen as well if guests want to prepare a meal or store some food. I highly recommend this Airbnb for those visiting Austin."
933021,22921267,2014-11-17,23309923,Jenna,"The studio was as pictured and described- in fact it was bigger than it looked in the pictures. Very roomy, extremely clean (brand new basically), super comfortable, safe and quiet. Faisal was great- very helpful and communicative but respectful of my space. (He even drove me to the airport when I left, which was so nice and helpful!) 

I highly recommend and would definitely use again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks! "
933021,23224429,2014-11-25,23418710,George,"Faisal made us feel very welcome with fresh coffee and an umbrella during a freak rainstorm.  The place was great - much bigger than it looks in the photos, and very well appointed.  The neighborhood is close to everything south Austin has to offer and very quiet.  I would stay there again next time I'm in Austin.  "
933021,23976166,2014-12-15,24557280,Courtney,"Our stay in this studio apartment was ideal: it was clean, in a good good location, and had everything we needed for a weekend.  The owner was easy to communicate with, and even left us fresh coffee beans and a grinder for our morning brew. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting."
933021,24966823,2015-01-04,24741088,Marisa,"Faisal was very attentive, even while he was on vacation. Everything was very easy for us to get to. We had a lovely time. This was our first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful. Thanks so much for a great place to stay while we were in Austin. "
933021,25522437,2015-01-18,15559050,Su,"Lovely, spacious, and comfortable. Super location. Excellent hosts."
933021,25751224,2015-01-25,25318393,Debbie,"This was my first AirBnB experience, and Faisel made it wonderful. The studio was clean and spacious. He contacted me prior to my arrival and offered to make coffee, tea, and juice available. He checked in during our stay to make sure things were going well, and offered to take us to the airport EARLY on Sunday morning. The neighborhood is very safe and easy walk to South Congress. "
933021,26001073,2015-02-01,3252479,Kristopher,"The host made me feel very welcome from start to finish.  Our advance communication was seamless and very kind.  Faisal was very kind and respected our independence and at the same time was very sweet to make a face to face connection on more than one occasion during the stay in an unobtrusive manner.  He truly did everything possible to make me comfortable down to providing coffee beans, coffee grinder, and creamer.  The apartment is very quiet and comfortable and the newly added kitchen was a peasant surprise.  Love the neighborhood and would definitely stay again if the unit is available."
933021,26192495,2015-02-06,2293945,Rachel,Excellent host!
933021,26306044,2015-02-09,22408589,Mary Ann,"Faisal is a great host - was very helpful in every way. He checked in to make sure there were no problems, but also respected privacy. He went out of his way to help us with a change in our plans.

The apartment is great - a perfect setting. I agree with other reviewers that it is even bigger than it looks with a nice bath. Since we have dietary restrictions, we really appreciated the full kitchen (not shown in pictures). We had a car, and it is less than a 15 min. drive from the airport, right off I-35 and a short drive to downtown Austin. However, for the convenience to the interstate - it is extremely quiet and private in a safe, attractive neighborhood. You have to check out the Whip In nearby - really fun place. According to Faisal - the neighborhood ""Cheers."" 

Highly recommend this lovely place - if we ever make it back to Austin - this is where we hope to stay!"
933021,26749439,2015-02-18,14009803,Max,"Faisal was a great host for our 3 night stay in Austin. He provided us tips on what to do while in town, checked in with us to see how our stay was, and made sure everything was good with us. While we didn't have to contact him during the stay, he made himself very accessible to reach in the event of any problems. 

The apartment was clean, spacious, and looked almost identical the photos. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. For colder evenings (we were staying in February), there was a heater that provided ample heating, and doubles as an AC in the warmer months. The wifi also worked perfectly during our stay.

The neighborhood was beautiful to walk around in (and Uber was easy for longer distances). Ask Faisal for nearby bars and restaurants if you're having a hard time deciding where to go. South Congress is nearby, and downtown Austin is about a 30 minute walk up that stretch (if you choose to walk).

Thank you Faisal for a great stay! We'll definitely be back on future trips to Austin!"
933021,26988524,2015-02-23,26055045,Jonathan,Great stay at a cute apartment.  Minutes from South Congress Ave which was very nice!
933021,27457189,2015-03-05,19984156,Lawrence,Great host! I really appreciated his flexibility in working with our arrival and in general how he looked after us as guests--and it's a great location in Travis Heights. I highly recommend this studio.
933021,28697679,2015-03-29,25341877,Jill,"Faisal was very friendly and accommodating! There was no lack of communication leading up to our arrival, which I appreciated! He made sure we had everything we needed to know before getting there. The studio has ample space, a comfortable bed, plenty of windows to let in light and air, and a clean bathroom/kitchen. Its location is about one mile from shops / restaurants on South Congress, as well as 1-3  miles from downtown Austin and other sights. We wished we had bikes, as it would have been a great way to get around (next time we'll do the bike rentals we saw in several places). I would definitely stay here again and will tell friends to do the same!"
933021,29110447,2015-04-04,5579292,Kathy,"Faisel was very flexible about our arrival. He left us coffee which was much appreciated! The apartment is convenient to the highway and near Congress St area. He checked in with us several times which was nice.

The apt has a medium/long flight of exterior stairs in terms of luggage access. 

The 1 issue we had had nothing to do with Faisal. The next-door neighbors hosted an outdoor party with stereo speakers playing loud music until the early AM hours. Luckily we had earplugs, shut the windows, and put on the air conditioning to create ""white noise."" 

"
933021,29561917,2015-04-09,28311081,Jesse,"Our stay was very enjoyable and Faisal made sure that we were taken care of the entire time without being invasive. He always communicated in a timely fashion. I actually accidentally booked us an additional day and when I mentioned it to Faisal, he was very understanding. We especially liked that we were in a separate area than the house itself. Also, we were less than a five minute drive from South Congress and the downtown area. I would certainly suggest staying here if you're coming to the area. It was very clean and comfortable. "
933021,29729831,2015-04-12,26606442,Ileana,"We were very happy staying at Faisal's studio.
The host was polite and thoughtful and made sure we were satisfied.
The location was perfect for us.
Quiet, next to a park, walking distance to SoCo."
933021,30193348,2015-04-19,15559050,Su,"This was my second time to stay here and honestly, I'd rather keep it a secret so that it will always be available when I want to come to Austin! Terrific space. Excellent hosts. Great location.   F & T continue to add more and more to this comfy rental. "
933021,30611431,2015-04-25,19868965,Kristy,"My friend and I stayed here for 4 nights of our vacation. The apartment was easy to find and gain access to which was important as we arrived quite late. We were so impressed at how spacious, cozy, quiet and very clean it was with all the kitchen and bathroom gadgets you need and/or may have forgotten. Faisal was accommodating and helpful if we needed him but the suite also offers total privacy so we came and went at any time without worrying about disturbing anyone which was nice. We had such a wonderful stay here and loved the neighbourhood. I would definitely stay here again! Also, the 'Whip-in' on I35 is good for a close by meal if you arrive late or need a breakfast spot. "
933021,30922076,2015-04-29,10972988,Sally,"Faisal's studio was fantastic! Tucked away on a private residential street, the place was very clean & had all the essentials. Suitable for up to two adults and maybe one child, it is a $4 Uber ride to SoCo and less than $10 to downtown. Street parking was easy with our rental car, and Faisal and Trisha were very friendly, welcoming, and easy to get ahold of before & during our trip. Would highly recommend this place if you are heading to Austin!"
933021,31700099,2015-05-09,3022953,Robert,Faisal was great host and very responsive. His place was well-situated and exactly as described. 
933021,32508897,2015-05-19,5185443,Sunny,"Our stay in Austin was lovely.  Despite the unexpected rain, we still managed to see a lot and have fun. Our host Fasial was very helpful and friendly; provided us with an umbrella and transport to a grocery store when it was pouring!! 
The apartment was very cozy and had everything you need.  It is nicely organised, clean and well care for. I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Austin.  The apartment has a convenient location close to the airport and downtown.  "
933021,32934006,2015-05-23,3785344,Troy,"Perfect for a 4 day vacation in ATX.  We loved having the kitchen, and cooked in for a couple of breakfasts and a dinner.  It's nice to be a little residential area, makes you feel a little more removed from the hustle and bustle.  Thanks Faisal!  "
933021,33425501,2015-05-28,23784263,Sammich,"When I came into Austin, the weather was pretty extreme. Faisal checked in to make sure I had what I needed every day. The space was beautiful and clean and I loved having a kitchen where I could prepare some easy meals during the week. When I come back to Austin, I'm definitely checking his listing first for availability. "
933021,33756593,2015-05-31,34476000,Jordann,"Faisal was great. He was very flexible on check-in time, came and introduced himself on our first day and then gave us our space for the rest of the weekend although he was always available if we needed something. The studio is above a garage behind their house and was extremely clean and quiet and comfortable. I would recommend this studio and would stay there again.  "
933021,35286330,2015-06-17,12984922,Dianne,"My husband and I enjoyed the cleanliness and serenity of the accommodations hosted by Faisal and Trisha.  They were friendly and available for more than what was otherwise expected.  
We came back to the studio one day to find a vase of fresh lilies on the coffee table.  Delightful!  
I highly recommend the studio.  We like to 'spread out' and found both the bed and the futon most comfortable.  Our hosts were ready with fresh towels, glassware and coffee mugs.  
We will, without a doubt, rent from Faisal and Trisha again.
Dianne and Steven, Boston MA"
933021,36409487,2015-06-28,13527703,Courtney,This place is adorable and feels very spacious. Faisal was really nice to deal with and easy to get a hold of. If you're looking for a serene place for a staycation or trip to Austin you should definitely consider this gem!
933021,36889828,2015-07-02,12038669,Jessica,"Our stay in Austin at Faisal's loft was wonderful. He was very warm and welcoming while giving my boyfriend and I plenty of privacy to relax and enjoy our time. The loft is very quiet, comfortable, and well maintained. The location is incredibly convenient to downtown & most all of the city's other eccentric attractions! Overall, we could not have enjoyed it more. "
933021,38232912,2015-07-13,30703860,Vivian,"Faisal was sweet, friendly, and helpful! The place is even more spacious than the photos make it seem. The cleaning products are eco-friendly! The pots are non-stick though, if you care about that. Being able to see greenery out every window (not to mention around the little balcony/porch) was very peaceful. Simple and perfect!"
933021,39047356,2015-07-20,1704215,Eliza,"My mother and I stayed in Faisal's studio when she came to visit me in Austin. The studio  was lovely and made for a great 'staycation' spot. 
    Everyday Faisal would either check on us by text or in person as we passed his front door to make sure that everything was to our liking. He made us feel very welcome. We will definitely recommend Faisal and his wonderful studio to all of our friends and be sure to return to stay!"
933021,40128716,2015-07-28,35425208,Brianna,"My friend and I had a perfect first stay in Austin thanks to Faisal! The apartment was very clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable. Faisal was readily available to us for anything we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped (even though we never ended up using it!) and is perfect for cooking on a low-key night in. The bathroom was spacious and easily accommodated two girls who needed to get hair and makeup done before heading out for the night. Sleeping conditions were perfect, with a large bed and the futon ready to unfold if you need a second bed! 

The shopping and restaurants on South Congress were an easy walk (though I will say that if you plan on visiting in the summer, be prepared to get a little sweaty!). We were able to see many area sights and enjoy a lot of places within walking distance, including Gordough's donuts, which I personally highly recommend. Other area attractions were easily accessed via uber and most fares were between $5-$10. 

All in all, we had a fantastic time in Austin, and we owe a lot to Faisal for providing great accommodations! "
933021,40806237,2015-08-02,10716170,Kevin,"Faisal was fantastic, and the place was really lovely. Lots of space, very clean and stylish, great AC. He was very flexible about us arriving late at night, which was appreciated. We'd definitely stay again."
933021,42262358,2015-08-12,33779614,Sarah,"We are just back from a wonderful trip to Austin. Our stay at Faisal's Treehouse in Travis Heights could not have been better. The place is attractive, clean, spacious and convenient in terms of location. Faisal was a gracious (and unobtrusive) host. He was available if we needed him but we were very free and comfortable to come and go independently.  We give Faisal's studio our highest recommendation. It was just perfect. "
933021,47684873,2015-09-21,24380676,Erin,"Great studio for our first weekend stay in Austin.  The neighborhood was conveniently located.  Place looks exactly as shown on the website.  Even though we arrived in the middle of the night and took the first flight out in the morning, Faisal was very accommodating to our schedules and gave clear instructions to get in.  He even checked on us throughout the day to make sure everything was up to par.  Definitely recommend!"
933021,49587835,2015-10-05,32932930,Angela,"This was actually our first experience with Airbnb, and what a great one it was! Faisal was extremely flexible with our arrival and departure times and checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. So kind! The room was well kept, and perfectly stocked with everything we needed. We so enjoyed our stay and will definitely recommend Faisal's guest house to any friends needing a place to stay in Austin. Thanks again!"
933021,50037837,2015-10-08,21400460,Drew,"I certainly enjoyed Faisal's place.  It is spacious, attractive, comfortable, and in a great location.  What's more, Faisal is a great host.  He is accessible and he communicates well. "
933021,50428018,2015-10-12,9340475,Jessica,"Faisal and Trisha were the best hosts! Their studio was larger then we expected, very clean, bedding was very comfortable and the location was just a short uber ride to the airport, ACL festival and some of the best restaurants in town. As hosts they offered great recommendations, made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and even let us check out late because of our flight time. I would definitely stay with them again and recommend them to friends. "
933021,51368764,2015-10-19,20383766,Abel,"The studio above the garage is located about 3/4 miles away from all the action, so it's a good location, but not when it's 90+ degrees out. The room has everything you need (bed, table, bathroom, towels, shampoo) but no TV, which I thought was a little off. Faisal and his wife live in the front house and you will probably see them often. "
2992224,28151950,2015-03-18,774450,Caroline,"Mike was a wonderful host—extremely communicative, and so thoughtful about preparing the space for our arrival. I will most certainly reach out to him the next time I need a place to stay in Austin!"
2992224,37248647,2015-07-05,13356521,Benjamin,"Mike made us feel very welcome from the minute we booked the place for the weekend.  He was a great host making every effort to make our stay a comfortable. Communicating with Mike was made easy. The space was clean and private, and we felt safe in the neighborhood.  "
2992224,39817360,2015-07-26,2481945,Doug,"Awesome spacious and cool, contemporary space.  Host were terrific.  Made sure we were comfortable and ready to oblige if we needed anything. Really appreciated the drinks in the refrigerator and morning coffee.  Perfect close-in location to explore Austin, yet in a quiet hip neighborhood.  Highly recommended!"
2992224,46009107,2015-09-07,4259788,Taylor,"Mike and Dana were great and the house was perfect.  Great location, very cool and welcoming home.  Everything went smoothly with no issues.  Thanks again guys!"
2992224,47503930,2015-09-19,17200286,Lauren,"This was the perfect location and space for our overnight to Austin. The house instructions were very clear and check-in/check-out was seamless. The apartment was very clean, modern, and stylish. They even left very thoughtful touches, like water and beer for our arrival, and milk for coffee in the morning. We were traveling with another couple and it was wonderful that we could each have our own space. Everything was within walking distance and the neighborhood was very quiet. "
2992224,49646339,2015-10-05,36700071,Joe,just as described! perfect
2992224,52719267,2015-11-01,1206910,Dominique And Ron,"Mike and Dana were perfect hosts, and the house is even better in person. Everything was super clean and the beds were REALLY comfy. The neighborhood was GREAT! Supercool architecture and a quick 10 minute walk to tons of great food and cool shops. We would highly recommend a stay here! Thanks Mike and Dana! "
6575341,37714484,2015-07-09,8871241,Kirsten,"Micael made me feel welcomed and at home right away. He was easy to communicate with, prompt, and helpful!"
6575341,45289661,2015-09-01,28091902,Fernando,The host canceled this reservation 32 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6575341,51806740,2015-10-24,5802932,Christopher,Everything was exactly as posted! Micael was great for the short moment I met him but his roommate filled every role the host would have! Definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin and wants a place nearby campus. Easy parking and easy walking anywhere. Really close to major Austin/UT eateries!
5339280,33189195,2015-05-25,6473481,Laura,Great host!  Great recommendations and the place was easy to find.  Make sure you get the tacos.  The bathroom leaves a little to be desired and the location is only okay but overall a great stay.
2855422,24781128,2015-01-02,4106563,Joe,The Austin Sanctuary is a great apartment in a great location.  Walking distance from downtown and on a very nice block.  the apartment was clean and spacious.  I would definitely stay here again.  Jenny was very nice and easy to get in touch with.
2855422,25181000,2015-01-08,4510204,Chelsea And Damien,"Location, location, location!

Jenny's pad is situated in the most ideal location for an exploratory Austin getaway.  Walkable to Waterloo Records, Clark's Oyster Bar, 24  Diner, a slew of boutique clothing and vintage shops, and the armory-sized Whole Foods flagship store.  It's a 4-5 minute drive to the heart of Austin's music club and hip downtown scene (also walkable in warmer weather).  The apartment is a nice-sized one-bedroom and is exactly as it appears in the photos.  We arrived late after a nightmare travel day of cancelled flights and Jenny greeted us warmly with beer and sparkling water and was quick to respond with whatever we needed (extra towels, for example).  If you're in Austin to spend your days & nights out soaking up its great vibe, food, and music, Jenny's place will provide a conveniently centralized home base. "
2855422,37191587,2015-07-05,382888,Rachel,"Easy check in and great cute clean little house! Cute neighborhood, walking distance to some restaurants/shops and a super close uber or drive to most of the top places to go in Austin! We would definitely stay here again when visiting Austin. "
2855422,37686927,2015-07-09,36367283,David,Jenny made us feel very welcome into her beautiful apartment with lots of local recommendations. The apartment was the perfect location to hot foot it about town sampling all the fun bars nearby. The apartment was clean and cosy and much fun had sitting out on the porch drinking beer and wishing we lived here. We'll be back soon. 
2855422,38171447,2015-07-13,14907400,Rachel,"Jenny met us on arrival to make sure we understood how the code/lock worked.  She showed us around the property, pointing out fresh towels and coffee.  We talked a few minutes about what we had in common (quite a bit).  She was delightful."
2855422,39293420,2015-07-22,19036947,Marie,We loved staying at this apartment! The neighborhood is great and there are a lot of shops and restaurants in walking distance. The apartment was clean and furnished beautifully. Jenny was very helpful and gave us a lot of local suggestions. 
2855422,40663073,2015-08-01,33512310,Joe,"Great place in the heart of Clarksville, Austin's best neighborhood. Clean, quiet, great kitchen- loved it. "
2855422,41137544,2015-08-04,8499406,Tyler,"Great space and location. Easy parking. Bed was comfortable, living area and kitchen more than adequate and the desk was a nice touch for work in between meetings and tacos. Jenny was a terrific host who went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. "
2855422,41543600,2015-08-07,4018113,Megan,Wonderful Place!  Jenny was great.  Bed super comfy.  Nice natural light.
2855422,42134333,2015-08-11,2638951,Erin,"Jenny's place was great and just as described in the listing and photos. The apartment is well situated to explore Austin - in a nice residential neighborhood but close to downtown. All the main sites are a short and cheap Uber ride away and there are also shops and other amenities within walking distance. Also, it's less than a mile to the trails along the river and only 2 to the amazing Barton Springs Pool! Go for a run and take a dip. Jenny was very responsive and we appreciated the tips on restos, bars, and other things to do. Eat at Odd Duck!"
2855422,42913600,2015-08-16,5759502,Alicia,Staying in Jenny's Austin sanctuary was very nice and full of natural light. The bed was very comfortable. Jenny was welcoming upon our arrival and showed us around. The location was excellent and close to everything. Would recommend. 
2855422,43569246,2015-08-20,36578854,Michael,"My stay was as calm and easy as I could hope for. Jenny was attentive and quick with answers and information.
Check in went very smooth and all the local information was very much appreciated. The rooms were comfortable and the amenities were all I could have used or needed. There was even fresh coffee on the counter for my early mornings!
I found the neighborhood very quiet. On a tree lined street with plenty of parking was a bonus especially in the Texas heat where walking sometimes could be an adventure to jump from shade to shade.
I cannot recommend this place enough and will stay again when I return to Austin!"
2855422,43960445,2015-08-23,6253789,Eileen,We had a great stay and really enjoyed our trip to Austin. Jenny was terrifically responsive and helpful in suggesting things to do.  It was helpful to have a car.  We look forward to future visits to Austin!
2855422,44833471,2015-08-29,13338662,James,"I booked Jenny's unit for my out-of-town cousin and she really enjoyed it. Jenny was very proactive with information and made herself available for any questions or concerns about the rental. Thank you, Jenny."
2855422,46179210,2015-09-08,41089416,Poonam,"Jenny was extremely organized and welcoming. Although she was away, she gave clear instructions and left a great list of places to explore. The apartment was clean and a pleasant place to unwind in during a very hot week in Austin! The AC was a definite bonus!"
2855422,46936202,2015-09-14,36663523,William,"Beautiful place, very relaxing, perfect location, and super attentive and accommodating host."
2855422,47516618,2015-09-19,27700120,Michael,Our experience with Jenny and her Austin Sanctuary was very positive. Jenny always responded quickly to communications and we found the apartment comfortable and convenient. It's a short walk to west 6th street and several good places to eat. It's a short drive/taxi to plenty of entertainment. Overall a sweet spot!
2855422,48070064,2015-09-23,37380066,Stephen,"We were made to feel very welcome, the apartment was very comfortable and stylishly furnished.  Jenny was kind enough to help us out with a small problem for which we are very grateful.  The neighbourhood is extremely friendly with plenty of good restaurants and bars.  Highlights were visiting The Mean Eyed Cat for Stubb's Bar B Q which is a short walk along 5th Avenue.  We've had a great stay. "
2855422,48512381,2015-09-27,4321947,Zac,"Jenny greeted me when I arrived and helped make us feel at home.  The unit is stylish and charming.  The neighborhood is great, lots of people walking dogs and relaxing on porches.  Would highly recommend!"

""Very great location, great host and an amazing tempurpedic bed."""
2855422,49594228,2015-10-05,36354360,Zach,"The Austin Sanctuary was the perfect place to stay during our trip—the location was great and there was off street parking for our rental car. Jenny met us when we arrived and made sure that we had everything that we needed for our stay. The apartment itself is spacious and contains all of the essentials, including towels and some toiletries. There's a giant Whole Foods nearby for groceries and you can easily walk into the city for more dining/entertainment options. We came to town during the first weekend of Austin City Limits Music Festival, so staying in a hotel would have been nearly triple the price of our stay here—we were glad that we decided to spend a few nights in this apartment instead."
2855422,50022121,2015-10-08,1442335,Neah,"Jenny was very prompt with returning texts and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The home was very clean and beautiful and good open space. It is in a very neat part of Austin with plenty to walk to for dining, shopping and entertainment. Jenny made a point to come check in on me and see if she could answer any questions. She took her time giving me good directions to the river running trail and more dinner suggestions (than what she already has included in the overview pages left inside the home). Also the bed was very comfortable and climate control was an ease."
2855422,50434588,2015-10-12,3460917,Meghann,An amazing place with a great location. Jenny was extremely helpful. We would love to stay again! 
2855422,50973082,2015-10-16,6313571,Matt,Jenny's place was great. It was on a quiet block within in walking distance to all of the downtown sites. She was very communicative and the place was very clean as shown in the pics. I was very happy with my stay and would not hesitate to book here again!
2855422,52045060,2015-10-26,38045486,Rebecca,"We had a great stay at Jenny's place. The apartment was great - tidy, convenient, and very comfortable. Jenny was great, as well - even receiving a package for us a few days before we arrived."
2855422,53044094,2015-11-04,17204756,Jessica,"Jenny's Austin Sanctuary was great! She gave me a quick call the day before our arrival to give me all the necessary information for ""checking in,"" and also because Austin received 10-15 inches of rain the day before our arrival! Luckily all was well the day we arrived. She had a welcome packet with all the pertinent information as well as a few of her favorite places to eat in Austin. She had also picked up some local papers and magazines so we could figure out where to see music and the general happenings while we were visiting. The neighborhood her place is located in, Clarksville, was wonderful. It's within walking distance to so many great places. Whole Foods, Fresa's, Amy's, Z'Teja, Book People, and so many other places. We even walked ourselves down 6th on Halloween night--all the way downtown! It was a super quiet neighborhood and we had no issues walking at night, or with parking, etc. If you find yourself in Austin, you should definitely stay here!"

The staff at the Cenote restaurant next door where friendly and very helpful when we needed assistance, which was much appreciated. The apartment is great value for money so close to downtown Austin and we would certainly stay there again."
8920025,52552960,2015-10-30,6464999,Graham,"I loved staying at cody's place! Every morning I walked downstairs and grabbed breakfast and coffee at Cenote. If you're looking for a place to stay with built in amazing food this is the place for you.  The bed was really comfortable, everything was clean and it's in a rad location. Thanks Cody!"

2123078,41146824,2015-08-04,19460735,Anne,"Our stay at this property was just what we needed.  The place was well appointed, very comfortable and in a great location! Dominique was super attentive to our needs.  I would highly recommend this for a great stay in Austin. Also, we have kids and found this to be an easy place to stay with them. "
2123078,47880940,2015-09-21,44110027,Mark,"Clean, quiet and convenient to downtown.  Dominique is easy to work with and responsive.  The listing should note the 4th bed as being a hide-a-bed.  We would stay there again.  Thank you DD..."
2123078,49666290,2015-10-05,3942054,Jarryd,"Dominque was a very responsive host. The apartment is exactly how it looks in the pictures and has a great outdoor area. 

The location is nice and close to the city and easy to get around. "
2123078,50449732,2015-10-12,40596401,Becky,"We had a great stay at this townhouse when we came for Austin City Limits.  The house was exactly as it was described and photographed.  The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast, and there were plenty of towels and linens for all six of us.  It was easy to communicate with Dominique, and our stay went smoothly.  "

7115677,39096612,2015-07-20,295254,Anna,The place was as described. Cute and quaint. Close enough to downtown and all the fun area of Austin with minimal traffic. Would definitely rent again!
7115677,40038095,2015-07-27,38576574,Anette,"Emily was such a FANTASTIC host and her home is absolutely perfect. The home is well decorated and almost has a real bed and breakfast feel. Emily was sweet enough to leave us breakfast for the morning, and arrival was smooth and easy. The location is close enough to downtown that you can get there in minutes but you're not in the middle of the chaos. I would stay at her place again, and recommend that others consider it as well. "

The neighborhood is quiet and family oriented. Therefore, she has strict rules about not partying or being too loud in her townhouse."
7115677,47874751,2015-09-21,31629032,John,This was our first time using Airbnb so we didn't know what to expect.  Emily was a great host.  She even left bagels and fruit for us to enjoy.  Her home was immaculate.  It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood.  We felt right at home.  We would definitely stay here again and recommend her home to others.  We had a nice time.

2066860,20896846,2014-10-07,18398158,Kendra,"Our host checked in with us via e-mail to see how things were going. Made herself available, and was very helpful with our one request. I thought she was professional but more like a rental service provider than a host. Offered early check in/out the day before which was nice. We had already made travel plans since we were coming from out of town, so could not check in/out earlier or later."
2066860,26562225,2015-02-15,11022666,Audrey,My friends and I loved staying here. Everything was clean and adorable and the location was unbeatable. We enjoyed using the amazing kitchen to cook dinner our first night. We hope to come back again!

2066860,30498704,2015-04-23,209194,Andrea,"Clean, comfortable and quiet house near all the action of So Congress.   The back porch is relaxing and great space to have your breakfast. The beds we're comfortable and the house felt very private. We cooked in a night or two, hung out and watch a movie and listened to records on the turntable. "

341530,1372937,2012-05-29,2178269,Sarah,"Chris is a dream host!  He was super hospitable, we arrived to find all the comforts of home.  The cottage was super clean and just as it appears in the site.  With in walking distance to one of our favorite coffee shops, Bouldin Creek.  I highly recommend this comfy and unique spot."
341530,1503924,2012-06-18,806576,Irene,"Chris is very hospitable. We really enjoyed the rustic charm! Perfect location! We only stayed one night, but would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting to get a real feel for Austin. Very close to SOCO Lady Bird Lake, and downtown. "
341530,1900919,2012-08-06,2275096,David,A great location with a VERY comfy bed.  I really enjoyed my stay.
341530,2456599,2012-09-30,786028,Krista,"My husband and I (and our dog) stayed two nights in the Austinville cottage...  and we wish we could have stayed longer.  The location is perfect, the price is fantastic and Chris is a thoughtful and very friendly host.  I highly recommend this place!"
341530,2508554,2012-10-04,3686908,Katherine,"Chris was the perfect host and his digs were just what i wanted. centrally located, spacious, well decorated, clean with just the right dash of Austin funk mixed in for good measure. i would stay there again in a heart beat. the beers and airport pickup don't hurt any either. Thank you Chris for making Austin so welcoming! Till next time..."
341530,2563187,2012-10-09,394166,Elle,We LOVED staying in the Austinville Cottage. The bed was amazingly comfy and we loved the country feel. Definitely would stay again. :)
341530,2627548,2012-10-16,2438095,Jason,"My wife and I stayed at Chris' Austinville Cottage for 3 nights in October 2012. We loved the place. The location was excellent. Just a short walk from South Congress and South First. It's close to Zilker Park and downtown too. 
The place is very cool and different. It has all the amenities you would expect. The kitchen and living room are open format. The bedroom and bathroom are off of the living room. There's a great front porch and a few sitting tables. There's also a back area with a creek running through it. That's where we spent most of our time playing with Pecan and Pumpkin. Chris also has two 1-speed bikes you can use to get around town.
Chris met us at the house when we got to town and showed us the ropes. He had a few gift cards for us to use at a neighboring cafe plus a fridge full of beer, water, Gatorade, etc. He also offered to drive us around town. He sent a few texts now and then to see if we needed anything. He came by the house a few times to stock supplies and take out trash. He also had a few pastries brought in from a local shop that were unreal. 
We really enjoyed staying there and would definitely stay again. Chris was the perfect host. He was always available, but he was never intrusive. "
341530,2694617,2012-10-23,91171,Bounce,"The Austinville Cottage was our home base when we came down to Austin from Seattle for our wedding. Ten things we loved about it:

1. It's just the right size for two people, even if one has a very fluffy dress with her
2. It's walking distance from a stunning variety of great food and shops on both S. Congress and 1st
3. It's an easy drive from downtown bars and the highway
4. Secure wifi
5. Snacks, beverages, sunscreen, shampoo, w/d, and many other comforts of home
6. Super-hot water
7. Goats and chickens (but no rooster, thank heavens)
8. Chris is fantastic. We could txt him with questions and he'd write or respond in minutes (if not seconds). He's full of suggestions for things to see, do, and eat in the area. And he even offered to help us set up a fire pit, for when people came a-visiting
9. Cool and quiet
10. Close to other hotels and airbnb rentals. (Many of our guests got places within walking distance, which made it easy to meet up with them before and after the wedding.)

The cottage is totally charming and a great value. We adored both it and its host. You will, too."
341530,2910494,2012-11-18,3916531,Debra,"Came to my niece's CD release party and just happened to be the Formula 1 Race.  First ever for Austin!!  We were so happy to find a room let alone a great little cottage in SoCo.   More expensive than normal--but a bargain for the  availability.  
Chris responded  quickly to all correspondence.  The goats are adorable. Woke up to a chicken in the window. Lol. 
Loved the trees and privacy.  And of course location.  
Being a life-long Austin ,Texan  native-roamer--the cottage was perfect.  Would definitely stay there again.  Thanks Chris!  Lol. 
Oh and dog-friendly!  Just know that Formula 1 weekend cabs are obsolete. :0
PDB lives!
d&mm. "
341530,3017964,2012-12-03,2244177,Luke,"Chris is a really good host - he met us at the cottage with the keys and showed us round, pointing out all the little extras he'd left for us (soft drinks, wine, pastries, the list goes on... - thanks Chris!) then, after a chat, he left us to it. The cottage was really well stocked, and a really nice little space. The bed, as people have mentioned, is very comfy. And the location is excellent. We had a great stay."
341530,3062321,2012-12-11,414775,Amanda,"Absolutely perfect AirBnB experience! The cottage itself is adorable- loved the stripes-theme and skylights, the location couldn't be any better, Pumpkin and Pecan (mini-goats) are charmers, and Chris is an Austin wikipedia. He's a fantastic resource on the area and his insider info helped make our stay amazing. I doubt there's a more generous and thoughtful host out there (and his dogs are total lovebugs). The area is a vegan dream destination, too. Lots and lots of outstanding food options within walking distance. The mini-goats and chickens are what initially drew me in but the Austinville Cottage is the whole experience- charming and safe neighborhood, great host, bed that feels like sleeping on a cloud, plenty of things to eat and see and do within just a few blocks. We can't wait to visit again."
341530,3346587,2013-01-14,3053904,Amy,"We had such a wonderful weekend at the Austinville Cottage!  The cottage is comfortable and in the best location ever.  You can walk to so many different restaurants -- we had a marvelous dinner at Lenoir one evening and what have to be Austin's best chicken at Mrs. P's Electric Cock the next day for lunch!  SoCo also is great for wandering and checking out the fun random stores - of course I ended up with a vintage leather jacket with fringe, I mean, how could I not?  The outdoor area at the cottage is perfect too for hanging out with friends, listening to the CREEK, and there is even a heat lamp.  Seriously this place rocks!  "
341530,3385889,2013-01-21,286143,Kelly,"Great host who knows the fun places to go and cool places to eat in Austin! His cute cozy cottage is in the very best location for walking down SOCO. A nice bottle of wine was awaiting us, as well as maps, info and useful coupons and gift cards.
Thanks Chris! "
341530,3448423,2013-01-31,3579345,Gm,"Chris was a great host. Very easy to contact and receptive to special requests. He let us check in early as we were using the house as a place for the guys to get ready before our wedding at Mercury Hall.

The house is cozy and full of character. Slightly different from the pictures. The four poster bed has been replaced with a fabric headboard and the mirrored armoire is gone. Still a great place to stay!"
341530,3524820,2013-02-12,4172354,Rachel,"This was our first trip to Austin, just a long weekend for my husband & I to celebrate my birthday. Chris' communication was A+ and the house was stocked with everything we needed. 

Our flight was delayed by many hours and Chris was so accommodating all along the way. 

Location is amazing (1st on one side, South Congress on the other), house and grounds have such amazing character. We really made ourselves at home instantly. 

Chris was invaluable throughout our stay, with restaurant tips and things to do. We will be be back. As long as it's an option, this will be our Austin house base. So highly recommended!"
341530,3593822,2013-02-20,1986436,Mollie,"Chris and the mini goats were the best!  He was very friendly and easy to coordinate with.  The house is adorable, well located and well stocked.  Hoping to stay there again soon!"
341530,3653329,2013-02-28,2095307,Paige,"Chris was an excellent host! Any time we had a desire or need, Chris fulfilled our requests fast and with a great attitude. The tour he gave us of town and his restaurant recommendations were all right on and greatly improved our trip. All of his communications before and during the trip were timely and clear. The cottage was charming, in an excellent location, and otherwise met all of our needs. Chris really went above and beyond to make this a great trip. If we travel to Austin again, we will definitely stay at the Austinville Cottage!"
341530,3685373,2013-03-04,1577312,Bo,"Exceptional host, very clean and artsy cottage, peaceful surroundings, beautiful city.  Couldn't have asked for anything else.  We'll be back and will be staying with Chris!"
341530,3770574,2013-03-13,595296,Chad,"Highly recommended! Chris' place is quirky, comfortable, filled (but not overfilled!) with cool flea market antiques and objet d'art. I've been home for two days, and I'm still thinking about how comfortable the mattress was! The location is ideal -- it's a short stroll to all of the cool SoCo bars/restaurants/shops, but don't overlook First Street, which is slightly quieter, but filled with cool local spots. Chris couldn't have been nicer -- even gave me a ride up to the convention center the day I arrived. "
341530,3779815,2013-03-14,1504052,James,"The Austinville Cottage is simply amazing. Not only is the cottage welcoming, rustic, artistic, cozy, and comfortable but the host Chris goes over and above any other Airbnb host I've ever had. Included with the rental are complimentary beverages, toiletries, local food/beverage coupons, and more. We had such a lovely time and can't wait to book again next year. Thank you Chris Bevill!"
341530,3812908,2013-03-18,3779164,Kelly,"We had a great time in the cottage during SXSW, it was cozy and we felt right at home. It suited our needs perfectly for our quick stay and we loved visiting the goats every morning. Chris was a great host!"
341530,3917313,2013-03-27,4923644,Gabrielle,"My friend and I stayed at the Austinville cottage for four nights and it was fantastic!  Chris is an amazing host.  Both of our flights were delayed and then rescheduled several times, and Chris was so accommodating about rearranging our pick up times at the airport. (He picked us each up at separate times and then dropped us off at the airport too!).  Chris toured us both around the city and provided a great gift certificate to an amazing Vietnamese restaurant also.  The cottage itself was clean and really comfortable, with nice extras like lots of cold drinks and  toiletries if we forgot anything.  We both felt completely relaxed and at home.  I also loved his three dogs and the goats were fun too!  The location was perfect too.  We walked everywhere.  I would highly recommend his place and am hoping to go back again soon!"
341530,3973318,2013-04-01,375941,Tiffany,Such a great cottage right in the heart of SoCo / Austin. Chris has thought of and provided everything you would need for your stay. The bed is SO comfortable and the accommodations are perfect for anyone looking for a weekend away. Chris was happy to offer recommendations and advice on where to eat and what to see. Can't wait to make another trip back to the cottage!
341530,4095034,2013-04-09,3921136,Jenny,"This house is totally Austin. And, if you have any desire to hang out on South Congress, it is walking distance. Yes, walking distance. Something that is very hard to come by in Texas ... (being so big, and all ;) I highly recommend this place. Chris was great, and the bed is probably the most comfortable thing I've slept in my life. 
5 stars!! "
341530,4179692,2013-04-16,5080055,Melissa,"Chris was a great host, we will definitely stay at the cottage again for our next trip to Austin. The cottage was extremely cozy and home like. The bed was like a cloud, very comfortable. We were always able to be in contact with Chris and he had the best recommendations for places to visit. The bikes came in handy to ride around town. We loved our stay and it was 100 x's better than staying in a hotel, it was the real Austin Experience. "
341530,4251752,2013-04-22,2630931,Liz,Chris was very prompt in responding and very pleasant as well.  The place was just as described.  Very rustic.
341530,4318485,2013-04-27,4050864,Jenna,"Chris is the best host! He had the fridge stocked with refreshing drinks when we arrived after a hot drive down, and was extremely helpful in recommending good places to eat - and he even provided us with coupons to use.  He left us keys to the bikes outside and said we were welcome to use them. The cottage was cute and cozy Texas style, and had the MOST comfortable bed ever!  Our two dogs loved the property and had lots to explore.  And the goats were a fantastic added bonus :) Great location in SOCO.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin!  

"
341530,4335157,2013-04-29,4944485,Katherine,"I happened to be in Austin for the weekend--visiting friends, but also keeping up with some last-minute work. Chris and his place were great for both! The house is a quick walk to South Congress and a quick drive to Downtown, but it's still quiet, even in the evenings--and, Chris is nothing but friendly. I'd stay again!"
341530,4471606,2013-05-07,5201996,Jessica,"Chris is incredibly hospitable. He offered recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The bed is very comfortable, even for my very tall husband. The goats are so much fun and greeted us when we returned. The cottage is in a great spot, easily walkable to tons of shops and restaurants. "
341530,4543587,2013-05-12,1848429,Abby,"We loved our stay. The cottage is in a great location- we walked or biked wherever we wanted to go. There are fantastic dining options very close on South Congress and South 1st Streets. Chris was a great host- he gave us a tour of Austin, pointing out landmarks and gave us good suggestions on where to dine and attractions to check out while we were in Austin. We didn't have a car- we biked or took an easy bus ride down South Congress to downtown. We would recommend this option."
341530,4679436,2013-05-20,5741903,Nick,"I almost want to keep this as a secret, but I can't do Chris a disservice. He was too good of a host. I can't imagine there is a better place to land in Austin. Close to everything complete with goats and chickens. I had friends visiting who stayed down the street and they were straight up jealous when they dropped by. 5 stars!"
341530,4831073,2013-05-28,5422779,Shelley,"Chris should win some sort of Host of the Century award. I've never met someone so accommodating, friendly, kind, thoughtful, helpful etc etc etc. He provided us with everything we needed and more!...he even went out and bought us umbrellas when it was raining. The cottage is so cute and well-equipped. The bed is super comfortable. The location is perfect! Chris gave us a driving tour of the city, gave plenty of great suggestions on food/activities, offered to drive us where we wanted to go, picked us up/took us to the airport, kept in touch to make sure we were having a great time in the absolutely amazing city of Austin. I would highly recommend renting from Chris. You will not be disappointed! He is the type of person that makes you feel like an old friend. A++++++(to infinity)"
341530,4905950,2013-06-01,1619842,Karin,"Chris was an excellent host, responsive throughout the booking process and incredibly helpful with Austin suggestions during our stay. Chris’ extra offerings (like free airport drop-offs, cold bottled drinks and restaurant gift cards) are what really sealed the deal for us and we’re so glad we found the Austinville Cottage. Absolutely cannot imagine a better location or better accommodations. This place is PERFECT. This is a quick walk to the SoCo neighborhood and we used Car2Go for everything else (and could always find one nearby).

STAY HERE!  "
341530,4983868,2013-06-05,351914,Monique,"We had a great stay at the Austinville Cottage. It was amazingly located, right next to everything on South Congress and the decor was fun and uniquely ""Texas"". Chris was a great host too, recommending things to do and places to go that we wouldn't have known about otherwise—and keeping the cottage stocked with lots of cold drinks! I would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin."
341530,5036928,2013-06-09,4976081,Danielle,"if you're not looking for anything fancy. this cozy little cottage is perfect. it's got all the amenities and provides a no frills hub to get a great night sleep in after a long day of exploring the city. chris was fantastic! super helpful and available for anything we needed. fridge was stocked, bed was comfy, and we were in the middle of the action while still being tucked away. if you stay here, make a reservation at lenoir in advance. it's literally a 2 minute walk and an incredible dinner experience. couldn't be happier with our stay here!"
341530,5085226,2013-06-11,6321235,Sarah,"This review comes a wee bit late because frankly, I was still mentally in Austin and reality took a bit of time catching up to me. Austin kind of has a way of doing that to a girl. Enough about that; Chris’ place was a wonderful place to stay. Important: everything is as promised and detailed on the site. But what you don’t know (until you get there) is how accommodating and friendly and helpful Chris is upon your stay. He not only picked me up from my hotel, but also tipped me off to some great things to do while in town, and was always available if I needed anything. This was my first airbnb experience, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for more. I’d love to keep his place all to myself but since I can’t, I tell you this: do not hesitate in staying at Austinville Cottage. I know I won’t the next time I’m in town."
341530,5209773,2013-06-18,375074,Kat,"This is how you Airbnb!! I can't say enough about how perfect this location was - walking distance to SO many great food trucks on S. Congress as well as nearby on Oltorf, and countless bars and shops. Very quiet neighbourhood and a silent, uninterrupted night's sleep. The cottage itself was very well appointed. Unlike most Airbnbs, the bathroom was completely stocked with beauty products and toiletries, including sunscreen, Aloe, lotion and even deodorant. The fridges (plural) were packed with goodies and snacks. There were heaps of local magazines and weekly rags at the cottage that were brimming with suggestions for things to do in the city. Our host Chris was also very open to helping us plan our visit to Austin and if my best friend hadn't already planned the trip I would have taken him up on his offer to help coordinate. 

There are two goats in an enclosure (as seen in pics) that were very sweet & didn't mind a little nuzzle (through the fence of course). Parking onsite and a very easy drive to & from the airport."
341530,5244054,2013-06-20,6180736,Andrea,"Chris' cottage definitely had a young, cool vibe that I would expect from the SoCo location. He was a very communicative host with great recommendations for what to do in the city. We enjoyed our brief stay at his place--and you can't beat the neighborhood!"
341530,6028188,2013-07-27,7118384,Johnny,"We had a great vacation in Austin. We rented both the cottage and airstream for the week and were very satisfied with the booking. Chris was very easy to communicate with throughout the booking process and stay. We felt very comfortable and safe. Chris provided great recommendations and personally provided direction and assistance with my family seeing some of Austin's local  hot spots. The items in the fridge and toiletries were very useful and added to the sense of ""home away from home"". Some of the highlights of our stay include touring the Capital building, the shops on SoCo, the bat colony on Congress Ave. bridge, Blues on the Green at Zilker Park, Barton Springs pool and canoe rental, the Lee Brice concert at Stubbs BBQ in downtown Austin, the Bullock Museum and food, food, food...

I'd highly recommend the Austinville Cottage and Airstream.

Thanks Chris(!) "
341530,6529920,2013-08-16,6104233,Martina,"Our trip in Austin wouldn't have been the same without Chris and his wonderful house. Chris is the best 'Cicerone' ever! He treated us like old friends and gave us lots good advices according to our taste. Best tips: the awakening of a milion bats under Governor bridge (the perfetc kind of weird stuff you can find in Austin); the unmissable Barton Spring's Pool and the cattle's auction in Friedriksburg. Hope to see again him and his lovely dogs and goats!
"
341530,6584144,2013-08-18,6049114,Laura,"My fiance and I stayed here for just 2 nights, but it was an absolutely awesome time! Chris was super-easy to coordinate with, and gave us lots of great ideas for things to do in Austin (and some coupons to cool local joints). He even gave us a quick ride through the city to show us around! The house itself is cozy, clean, and comfortable, with all the amenities and a lot of character. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The washer and dryer were a godsend (we had been on the road for several weeks). I can't say enough good things about this place. We will definitely be back!"
341530,7192442,2013-09-10,2563224,Hanna,"We had a great time! Chris felt more like a friend than a host, he was amazing! Have nothing bad to say, go here!

341530,7331154,2013-09-16,2994159,Heather,Chris is one of the reasons why I love to use airbnb on vacation. He was so helpful and full of information whenever we needed. The house was just as it looked on the (website hidden) worked great for the Texas heat. We felt very comfortable and at home. Plan on staying there again next time I'm in Austin. 
341530,7402852,2013-09-18,4456218,Tonya,"I think everyone else has pretty much covered how awesome this place is. Chris is a really great host, and really, I just sort of want to move in to the cottage.  It will definitely be the first place I try to stay on future trips to Austin. "
341530,7443333,2013-09-20,4456218,Tonya,"Love, love, love the atmosphere of the cottage and you couldn't ask for a better location. Not one, but TWO Torchy's locations in walking distance. 

Most importantly, Chris is a super friendly, helpful host. 

This will be my go-to stay for future Austin trips. "
341530,7509844,2013-09-23,1596792,Heidi,"We enjoyed our stay at the Austinville Cottage. Cute, rustic, functional. Great neighborhood. And Chris (the host) is super helpful -- full of information and advice, lent us umbrellas for the rain and drove us to the airport on the last day. "
341530,7612447,2013-09-26,4758450,Laurie,Chris was a great host!! He really seems to take pride in his property and the whole airbnb experience. The cottage was clean comfy and inviting. A real posative experience. I will definataly return. Thanks Chris!
341530,7740376,2013-10-01,7878454,Caroline,Fantastic host! Beautiful little cottage right in the center of it all. Thanks so much Chris!
341530,7939884,2013-10-09,6161454,Rhonda,"Call me skeptic.  I had trouble believing that Chris could be THAT wonderful of a host.  Really?  How's that possible?  Well let me tell you ... IT IS ALL TRUE!  

Chris has a wonderful property here that was perfect for our first trip to Austin and ACL.  The charm of this cottage can't be beat and the location was great for us.

Chris went well above and beyond our expectations.  Airport transportation ... tour of the city ... picking up things we needed.  He was amazing and we would recommend this place to anyone and if we are back in town we'll be back at the So Co Cottage!  

Thanks so much Chris for making our trip that much more memorable!"
341530,7974573,2013-10-10,9246988,Laura,We had a great time!  Chris was really nice and gave us good recommendations for places to go.  The cottage was really cool and a very easy walk to so many places.  I'd definitely recommend his place to anyone visiting Austin who wants to avoid the boring hotels!
341530,8132828,2013-10-17,4658710,Reid,"Really cool cottage in a sweet location. Has a rustic feel and the grounds are amazing. The host, Chris, was super easy to communicate with and very helpful during the stay. Could not have asked for a better trip."
341530,8170580,2013-10-19,8716675,Kate,"The Austinville Cottage in SoCo was the perfect Austin home-away-from-home. Interesting decor,  wonderful marshmallowy  bed, a great set of bikes for tooling around town on, and a super-friendly host who was very easy to communicate with. This place will be my first choice for my next stay in the ATX. Thanks, Chris!"
341530,8273928,2013-10-23,6898098,Lindsey,"Thank you, Chris, for an awesome Austin experience! We had a blast in Austin and the austinville cottage was a great home base during our stay. Chris was spot-on with his recommendations for dining and the location of the cottage was soooo convenient to walk or bike where needed. It's an eclectic little spot in the heart of Austin and wish I could go back for another week!"
341530,8492203,2013-11-02,1936671,Chyna,Excellent location within walking distance to South Congress and 1st (including the original Torchy's Tacos and the amazing La Barbeque truck).  The Austinville is very charming and comfortable and Chris is a fantastic host.  And that bed is AMAZING! We had a great time and didn't want to leave ... we will definitely be back!
341530,8561871,2013-11-05,8473068,Lucas,"First Airbnb experience was a success!  I hope that Chris, the ""super host"", hasn't spoiled us for future rentals.  Chris picked us up at the airport in his top down jeep, gave us a driving tour of the city on the way to the cottage, and let me wear his sunglasses since mine broke on the plane ride.  The cottage is exactly the aesthetic we had imagined for Austin.  Fun and comfortable with drinks in the fridge, bikes to ride, goats to pet, and a comfy bed.   Easy walk to trendy SoCo neighborhood shopping with great food recommendations from Chris for Elizabeth's, Hopdoddy, etc. Also, loved Rainey Street which was an easy cab ride and great bar scene.  (Chris's suggestion.)  He also gave us a ride to go see the bats.

Definitely would recommend and stay again.  Chris, thanks for making our first trip to Austin and first Airbnb rental an awesome experience. - Lucas and Andi"
341530,8712733,2013-11-13,1483855,Angie,"My boyfriend James and I stayed at the Austinville Cottage while attending the Fun Fun Fun Fest down the road. Chris was a brilliant host, picking us up from the bus stop and showing us around the area. The location is incredible, metres from plenty of amazing restaurants and shops in an eclectic part of town with a great atmosphere. The cottage itself was very comfortable, oozing with rustic charm and Texan personality. The fridge, stocked with boutique beers and free snacks was a cheeky bonus. We loved our stay, and highly recommend the Austinville Cottage."
341530,8778452,2013-11-18,6718217,Jennifer,Very well appointed cottage in an excellent location! Could not have asked for a better host. We had an awesome time and plan on staying at the Austinville Cottage again in the future.
341530,8928997,2013-11-26,9339722,Stacia,"We had a really great stay at the Austinville Cottage. The location is outstanding- walking distance or short bike ride (provided!) to some amazing food. Breakfast, lunch and even fancy dinner joints are all steps out the front door. Very close proximity to South Congress with even more food and shopping and great music venues. The cottage is comfortable with plenty of space to relax, use the wi-fi, eat some carry-out and enjoy the beer and wine courtesy of the very friendly host. The bed is super comfy, and we enjoyed the claw foot tub. There's a washer and dryer, microwave, bikes, parking...why would anyone ever stay in a hotel?? This place was great, and I highly recommend staying here. "
341530,8992301,2013-12-01,8270364,James,"All the other reviewers are correct - this is a fantastically fun property with a perfect location and a great host.  It's a short walk to both 1st St and Congress, and you can't find a better location for South Austin fun.  We'll be back!"
341530,9103911,2013-12-07,578342,Caroline,"I was in Austin for business to give one of the most important talks of my life. The Austinville Cottage was the ""home"" I needed to take the edge off of the seriousness of the situation.  From the homey atmosphere of the cottage itself, with beverages and everything you could imagine laid out for you, goats in the backyard, and amazing location, this is a great Austin spot.

Chris was very generous to offer a pick-up at the airport.  When I got a horrible headache one night, he also saved me with some Ibuprofen.  "
341530,9160308,2013-12-10,1617221,Beth,"Great location and one of the most comfortable beds I've slept on since I started using Airbnb a few years back. The decor of this place was really hip and it was also well set up for me to work, cook and hang out. Chris definitely has an eye for design and he cares about his guest's comfort. Lots of thoughtful details. I would definitely stay here again. I happened to be in Austin during an unusual and severe cold snap and I was toasty warm. Chris checked in to make sure I was doing okay and see if there was anything I needed."
341530,9291969,2013-12-19,5917831,Sally,"Excellent stay.  Austinville cottage is stylish and comfortable. There was everything we needed and more, including wine and beer! The place felt like home and has a great ambience. The location is fantastic, walking distance from the heart of south congress and in a really lovely tree lined residential street.  We loved the setting of the cottage with plenty of outside space and goats to play with! Chris is the best host ever. He treated us like friends including buying us some BBQ from the County Line and taking us on tours of the city. He took time to understand what we were interested in and tailored his advice and recommendations accordingly.  We will definitely be back. Thank you Chris for a wonderful stay. "
341530,9396719,2013-12-26,1374569,Jason,"Chris was a great host with wonderful recommendations.  His place was just what my wife and I needed to have a great time in Austin.  The location of the Austinville Cottage made it so easy to walk or drive to, and also for great dining or shopping on Congress Ave. It was a perfect way to experience all of that Austin has to offer.  Also the goats were fun.  Thanks for everything and we will be back.  "
341530,9829756,2014-01-13,2355694,Michelle,"This is a great place to stay.   The place is cozy and full of charm, the location is ideal, and Chris will steer you in the right direction.  He is a great host.  Thanks! We want to come back.  "
341530,9930621,2014-01-20,4783445,Allison,"Super hospitable and friendly host. Awesome cottage and grounds with an authentic austin aesthetic. Convenient and safe location. Everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed.

This is what airbnb is all about. This is how you should travel. Definitely an experience to remember. Thanks a billion Chris, we will be back. "
341530,10418171,2014-02-18,5100038,Gina,"This is was my first airbnb experience and Chris made it a memorable one!  He is very quick with communication and makes sure that all your questions are answered.  His cottage is absolutely wonderful -- tastefully decorated, fridge stocked with beverages and all the comforts of home.  We really did feel like we were staying with a friend for the 4 nights we were there.  He bed is a cloud -- we had such great nights of sleep.  If you are a first timer in Austin i would DEFINITELY recommend trying to stay at Chris's cottage.  He'll also be happy to provide you with recommendation on local things to do and good local eats as well.  We can't thank you enough, Chris!"
341530,10483643,2014-02-21,556418,David,"One of the better experiences I've had since using AirBnB. Chris's space was neat, clean and extremely peaceful...making for a great sleep each and every night. 

Couldn't imagine a better location to accommodate my personal lifestyle. Austin Cottage is walking distance to the South Congress strip, a quick jog to Town Lake and there is also a juice shop across the street called Soup Peddler that I would highly recommend (Beet Generation). As an animal lover, I felt comforted by the two sweet goats that lived on the property. Looking forward to my next stay at Austin Cottages. "
341530,10534412,2014-02-24,8639049,Heather,"Unique house, friendly host and some goats. Country feel close to the city."
341530,10916934,2014-03-13,600527,Matthew,"Great host and ideal location for SXSW and ACL, right off of So Congress, access to great restaurants and bars. Chris is awesome and the goats are a plus.
Highly recommend. "
341530,10974660,2014-03-16,5775739,Leanne,"We loved our stay at the Austinville cottage. Chris was such a welcoming and accommodating host. He greeted us upon arrival, gave us a tour, recommended restaurants and sights, etc. The place was perfect too. Great Austin vibe. Location is unbelievable. Heart of SoCo and a walk from downtown. Would def stay again."
341530,11124024,2014-03-22,9215037,Christopher,"We loved out stay in the cottage. Great location, friendly goats, and Chris has super sweet dogs. We also got to ride Sam's horses up to the state capital building, which was a lot of fun. Highly recommended, we'll be back again."
341530,11217313,2014-03-25,9872242,Danielle,"The Austinville Cottage was wonderful and I'd stay there again. The location is perfect-- close enough to walk to wherever you need to be and tucked away enough to feel homey. The house was extremely clean and really cute; it was nicely decorated and stocked with the essentials (beer, pop, extra TP, etc). The grounds are really beautiful-- there's a gigantic tee-pee in the yard, some goats, and a really pretty stream that runs behind the yard. Chris, the owner, was also a great host. I'd highly recommend the Austinville Cottage. "
341530,11390975,2014-04-01,2501403,Cassandra,My husband and I had a WONDERFUL time at the Austinville Cottage! You can't ask for a better location and a better host in South Austin! Lots of delicious eats and shopping within walking distance. The drink fridge was FULLY stocked- thanks again Chris! The brochures and city guides were great too. Chris was always available and super accommodating with our last minute late check out request. 
341530,11491922,2014-04-05,13090392,Lee,"This is a funky place and Chris is a terrific and kind host, but as a female guest I felt that this cottage seemed more like a crash pad for a bunch of dudes. This isn't the kind of place you want to walk around in in bare feet, for instance, because the floors are rough and dirty. But nor should you wear high heels, because there are serious holes in the concrete floor that are downright dangerous in heels.  You also have to be at least five-foot ten to be able to see yourself in the bathroom mirror, which is hung way too high for us average folks.  The front and back door wouldn't stay closed without having to manhandle a tricky lock, the hot water faucet was impossible to turn without a wrench (which I suppose a dude would always have) and there's a laundry room on the front porch that the host used freely any time of day. So there wasn't much privacy. There are also two commercial refrigerators in the main area which are cool to look at but super loud.  You can't hear anything but those refrigerators all night and all day. I'm not complaining though--this is a great place for dudes, hipsters and casual sorts (which is what Austin is all about, right?).  ""Particular"" types might not be so keen. Animal lovers will love Chris's dogs and goats. I felt bad for the goats though, who are cooped up all day in a tiny pen.  The location is excellent.  "
341530,11549907,2014-04-07,13044827,Lindsay,"We had a wonderful time in Austin thanks to Chris.  His place is perfect and made our sty in Austin that much better.  Chris gave us a tour of the city and a great guide of where to eat and what to do.  

Fridge was stocked with awesome beverages and the house is within walking distance of SoCo, which has great shops and food.

Would definitely go back! "
341530,11697794,2014-04-12,5407687,Jonathan,Chris and the cottage were awesome. We had a great relaxing time. We would definitely stay again. The location is terrific and very walk-able. Super fun relaxed atmosphere also a plus. Chris knows the neighborhood and is very knowledgeable and communicative.
341530,11922784,2014-04-19,13022392,Kerrie,"What a fantastic place to stay: superb location; funky, cozy accommodations; and a very communicative host who fetched me from the airport and gave me a little tour of the town! Thank you, Chris, for such an excellent introduction to Austin. If I ever return, no reason to stay anywhere else!"
341530,12001077,2014-04-21,12994355,Kelsie,"Such a great first Airbnb experience! The comments are spot on: Chris goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is a good one. The cottage was clean and quaint and the fridges were stocked - coffee and tea are provided in addition to water, soda, and local beer. When we had a small problem with the sink shortly after arriving, Chris was there in less than 5 minutes to fix it. Really accessible and friendly, he has great reccommendations (go to Lenoir, he's right! It's amazing!) The cottage is in such a great location, too - easily walkable to all of SoCo and Boudin Creek and South 1st (we walked all the way to East Austin) and bike-able to Barton Springs (and farther!) on Chris's bikes. Chris's adorable dogs and goats only made the trip better.

Would 100% come back and stay. 

Thanks Chris! Sorry we forgot to sign the guest book. Would have written: ""THIS PLACE IS THE BEST, WE NEVER WANT TO LEAVE."""
341530,12663530,2014-05-07,9440918,Danielle,"Chris's cottage was perfect! It was cozy, private, and had everything needed to have a fantastic Austin vacation. What should really be noted is the location. He is just at the end of South Congress which is full of fabulous shopping, restaurants, and shopping (did I mention shopping?). Chris was a pleasure to deal with, responded quickly, and went out of his way to ensure I was ""in the know"" about things going on in the area. Highly recommend!"
341530,12851422,2014-05-12,4209030,Cameron,"I think people love Austin because it's a completely authentic place.  A big reason people use airbnb, is to have a more authentic experience than what one would get at a hotel.
We absolutely loved the place, from the moment Chris showed us around. The place was cozy, comfortable and conveniently located. Within moments of arriving we hit ""Lenoir"" an amazing restaurant right around the corner. It was the kind of prix fix meal you'd pay $100 for in NYC, for about $35. And the service was just perfect.
Next day we took 2 of the bikes Chris provides for an adventure across town. There's so much within walking distance, but we figured we might as well go everywhere. 
Seriously,  can't recommend this place enough.
Experiences like what we had is what airbnb is all about : )
"
341530,12969567,2014-05-16,1866981,Jennifer,"Loved the Austinville Cottage!! Super comfy stay in a ranch like house in an awesome location in Austin. Located on a super pretty street super close to the food and shops of South Congress. The cottage was cozy and had lots of amenities like bath goods, full kitchen with cooking items and free coffee and drinks. Plus bikes to use and you can pet the goats, Pumpkin and Pecan!! 

Chris was a great host with lots of info on the city and will even drive you around town if needed. Would recommend and stay again! "
341530,13040702,2014-05-18,2408266,Austin,"We absolutely loved this place! I am a a former Austinite turned New Yorker that wanted to give my girlfriend an ""authentic Austin"" experience and this was the perfect place to do that. Not only was the location perfect (near SoCo, S 1st restaurants, and Zilker Park) the house itself was so Austin - chilled out, a bit country, kitschy and eclectic. Also, Chris embodied everything I miss about Austin, a genuinely nice, laid-back guy that just wanted you to enjoy his city.

I already had an idea of what we wanted to do on our short stay, but for out of towners, Chris is full of great suggestions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Austin for what it is. As another reviewer suggests, it's not The Ritz. If you want a 5-star treatment get a hotel downtown or an airbnb in a high rise condo. If you want a nice, authentic Austin experience, stay here!"
341530,13872339,2014-06-07,1638131,Gregory,Awesome time.  Exactly as advertised and location was FANTASTIC!  Host was very helpful and available if we had any needs or questions.  A true Austin experience. 
341530,14012037,2014-06-10,12002363,Emily,"GREAT Austin location, Chris is super helpful with the area and we appreciated the hospitality. The bathroom sink didn't work at all during our stay and we had to use the kitchen sink for everything. I had read in another review that another couple had issues with it and he came right over to repair it but we didn't have that experience. That's my only negative. Otherwise we had a great time. The house was comfortable during the heat, charming, clean and we loved all the animals. We'd stay again."
341530,14622687,2014-06-23,4740883,Neal,"Chris is great and the cottage is in a prime location.  We walked to restaurants on 1st and SoCo.  The place is clean and comfy...and cool!  Both temperature-wise and kitschy.  It's a little rustic in this way, so if you are the type who usually does hotels, this might not be your style.  We thoroughly enjoyed it though and the location, as mentioned, is perfect.  Check in and check out are a breeze.  Chris is super accommodating, friendly, and informative.
Quick mentions: The driveway may cause problems if you have a long wheelbase and/or low clearance.  We were driving a Hyudai and scraped the bottom of the car going in and out.  No damage, but we street parked after that.  
The bathroom has a sheet for a doorway.  If you are on a first weekend getaway with your gf/bf, this could be awkward(?).
The bathroom sink got backed up several times.  Chris fixed it, but it still backed up.  Not a big issue, since the kitchen sink works fine, but if you're anal, this could be irksome."
341530,14930100,2014-06-29,3770938,Amanda,"We stayed 3 nights at the cottage, and truly enjoyed the place. Its quirks and minor needed repairs are worth the location, and Chris was a friendly host. I would definitely recommend the place to guests who would enjoy a little personality rather than a boring, fluffy hotel. We booked knowing that previous guests had problems with the sink, but at the end of the day, the minor inconvenience was worth the location, complimentary beverages,  bikes, porch hammock, tv, and cozy atmosphere. The shower and the outdoor space were smaller than expected. Bring mosquito repellent if you'll be outside. All around, no regrets, and many thanks to Chris for putting together such a nice place!"
341530,15072750,2014-07-01,17074587,Andrew,"My wife and I lived our stay at the Austinville cottage! We took advantage of the great location and walked to several great restaurants and shopping areas. The cottage was clean, well air conditioned and very relaxing."
341530,15279504,2014-07-06,4589705,Lucia,"This was such a great place to stay in Austin. Chris went out of his way to pick us up at the airport and give a little tour of the area around the house. The place is comfortable, clean and cozy. I love the character and style Chris put into the cottage...I highly recommend staying here while in Austin!"
341530,15407924,2014-07-08,4965522,Emily,"We had a great time staying here!  Chris had bikes, a stocked fridge, and was helpful with suggestions!  The neighborhood was good too! I would recommend staying here! "
341530,15547301,2014-07-11,17087344,Allison,"This is the perfect location! Could not be any closer to all the amazing stores, bars, and restaurants on South Congress. It was very hot when we went and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice and cold the cottage stayed! Bed was very comfy and was such a fun little place to stay. Chris couldn't have been more helpful, always letting us know any fun events happening at night, places to check out, and good recommendations for food. Would definitely recommend this place for any friends and would stay here again!"
341530,15713694,2014-07-14,2118236,Yuning,"The Austinville cottage was decorated very eclectically and was located within walking distance to SoCo. The cottage was clean and the bed was comfortable. The sink didn't drain when we were there, but Chris was going to have it fixed after our stay."
341530,16107239,2014-07-22,16673515,Vann,"Chris was great accommodating our arrival and departure schedule.  The cottage was perfect for what we needed since we were traveling with our daughter it helps to have a separate bedroom from the living area - and she loved the goats out back.  If you're visiting Austin for the first time, this is the neighborhood you want to be in to experience the 'weird' side that IS Austin.  The Austinville Cottage is sandwiched right between SoCo & 1st street where all the great new restaurants and funky shops are.
 "
341530,17566780,2014-08-14,3852463,Brandon,Chris's place is wonderfully located and was very flexible as our travel plans changed. 
341530,17855689,2014-08-18,8877483,Eve,"If you want an authentic Austin experience, the Austinville Cottage is the way to go - aesthetically & budgetarily!!  The drinks in the fridge were my favorite touch - especially during the heat of the Summer.  The bed is comfortable and the backyard is great - complete with tepee, goats, bikes, picnic table and a creek.  You can't get much better than this location - in walking distance to South Congress.  It's definitely rustic so expect that experience."
341530,18742029,2014-08-31,4704306,Rebecca,"Chris was a great host, even before we arrived! He was always very responsive before our stay and then we had a chance to touch base briefly when I arrived at the cottage. It was a fun place to stay! We loved the dominoes and borrowed the bikes to ride all over town. And the goats in the backyard were the BEST! The cottage is also in a fantastic location--a close walk to all that South Congress Street has to offer. Great place, great stay. "
341530,18880113,2014-09-02,5809809,David,My girlfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights before moving to Chris' other spot next door. This place is so charming and wonderful! We loved feeding the goats in the back yard. The location cannot be beat in Austin! Chris is a fabulous host. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!
341530,19160310,2014-09-07,12456753,Melissa,"Chris was more than accommodating to my unknown arrival time and late flight out time! He caught me on my way out one morning, insisted I get a ride and pointed out the best coffee shops and breakfast places. 
As a dog lover, I was more than happy to see 3 wiggling tails surrounding him. 
The cottage was great, I had a rainy night, so it was nice to have wifi and cable. If it wouldn't have been nearly 100 degrees the whole week I was there, I would have used the clawfoot bathtub. Guess I'll just have to visit again! "
341530,19749424,2014-09-17,10122933,Mike,"Chris was very helpful in providing suggestions of places we could eat that was near the area. We loved the location of the cabin, as we could walk to plenty of places. We tried a local Thai place that was pretty amazing, we highly suggest it. The cabin was clean and comfortable, we really enjoyed our stay there!"
341530,20015087,2014-09-22,1103624,Jessica,"Cottageville will make any trip to Austin THAT much better! Chris is a host that really goes above and beyond all that is necessary, and is always very accessible. The location is ridiculously good. The goats on property, Pumpkin and Pecan, are the icing on the cake!"

Austin is an amazing city, but if you really want to feel the the true hospitality of the city stay at the Austinville Cottage. Chris, and the dogs make you feel right at home, and the stocked fridge is a total welcome relief after a long day on the road. Aside from a small leaky pipe we had a GREAT time, and you will too!!
"
341530,20510167,2014-09-30,3561608,Ashley,"Comfortable cottage 
Great neighborhood close to some really great cafes and restaurants 
Host was super responsive before we arrived 
Super host (which I had never heard of before this trip) but includes airport pick up// drop off and even a bottle of wine! Talk about setting the bar! 
Overall, would definitely recommend this place!"
341530,20891524,2014-10-07,13794575,Matthew,"Chris made us feel very welcome from the start of pulling into the cottage.  It is a charming place right in the heart of SoCo stocked with snacks, beverages, even a bottle of wine!  He is truly a gracious host and gave us a ride to Zilker the first day, so we could get the route down.  I felt so comfortable and safe there.  We knew we could call him at anytime if we needed any help or guidance.  We look forward to staying there, again, very soon! "
341530,21088813,2014-10-11,14225349,Kelly,Awesome little cottage in a great spot in the city! Chris made sure we had everything we needed for a last great night in Austin. 
341530,21275290,2014-10-14,13794575,Matthew,"This was our second time staying at The Austinville Cottage and it will not be our last.  Chris is a fantastic host, thoughtful and accommodating.  The cottage is well designed, artistically decorated, and, as an added perk, stocked with sodas, water, and the like.  The cottage is located in a wonderful section of Austin, within walking distance of shops, food, and, for those in need of some fresh air, the beautiful Zilker Park.  Our two says at the Austinville Cottage were our first with Airbnb and Chris has set the bar high for future trips.  We would highly recommend Chris and the Austinville Cottage if you were looking for a great place to stay in Austin.  "
341530,21459494,2014-10-18,18116756,Lesli,"We stayed in this cottage for the first half of our stay, and Chris' other listing next door for our remaining nights.  We loved the feel of the place, which was just authentically old Austin, and Chris made everything simple for our first airbnb experience... like staying with a friend who's always around, but gives you your space.  "
341530,21507542,2014-10-19,11672232,Sarah,"The cottage was centrally located to awesome food and fun on 1st and South Congress streets. Chris was very communicative and a great resource for what to do in the area. The space was clean and had a cool, funky aesthetic - we would definitely stay again!"
341530,21652865,2014-10-21,1129242,Jordan,"Chris was so welcoming and this little cottage was perfect! It is in such a good location - close enough to walk places, but tucked back enough that it's quiet at night. "
341530,22059049,2014-10-29,17561502,Graham,"Chris' place was very central, conveniently located near a range of good restaurants and bars and he was very welcoming. We felt we got a truly authentic experience while staying at his quirky property. Loved the dogs too. 

Chris was also helpful in giving us lifts when he was about, got us some great BBQ and was always a text away if we needed anything. We didn't have a car during our stay, so the bicycles gave us a chance to get about quickly. Loved it and hope to return."
341530,22353704,2014-11-04,16541862,Michael,"Wow! This was my first AirBnB experience and Chris has set the bar so high, I'm not convinced anyone else will even come close in terms of hospitality.  Chris was super helpful with restaurant and nightlife recommendations and is willing to give you a lift somewhere or drop you off at the airport if schedules allow.  If not, Car2Go is everywhere.  (even to and from the airport)  Chris was attentive to why we were in Austin (Formula 1 Grand Prix) and provided local magazines and newspapers about the race and about the Austin nightlife.

The location was perfect, being walking distance to many great restaurants, bars, and the funky shops on South Congress.  Lenoir, Sway, etc.  All really great restaurants.

The cottage itself is well represented in the pictures.  Funky and cozy which is exactly what we were looking for.  The bed was comfortable, and he stocks the fridge with all kinds of beverages which was nice to crack a cold beer right when we arrived. 

Thanks Chris, we'll definitely stay here next time we visit Austin!"
341530,22742964,2014-11-13,21595116,Isabel,"Had a great time at this perfect location in south Austin. The place is super close to south congress and south 1st, so we walked to all of our meals and enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. Chris was an awesome host, showing us around, helping with directions, even giving us free Austin t-shirts. Living space is comfortable and convenient - we would have been happy staying for more than our five days there. "
341530,23017618,2014-11-20,3451856,Stijn,"Chris is a great host. Picked us up at the airport - in his Fiat 500 and his 2 dogs - and before dropping us of in front of our cottage he gave us a tour through Austin. The cottage itself is very spacious, the bed sleeps perfect and the complimentary drinks in the fridges are a nice little extra. Location is very convenient; right in the heart of booming SoCo, few blocks to the best restaurants (you must try the tasting menu at Lenoir and the most delicious burgers at Hopdoddy) and some cool shops, but in a very quiet spot. Definitely worth the money."
341530,23269393,2014-11-27,3323797,Simone,"We had a great time at Chris' cottage. Chris was welcoming, helpful and friendly, even drove us to Rainey St one night. The cottage was comfortable and has a lot of character. "
341530,23546079,2014-12-04,8245839,Peggy,"I wish I could say that our host made us feel welcome, but actually he did not. He was there to meet us when we arrived, but was too distracted to focus much on giving us important details for making our two-day stay more pleasant. Here are some example of things he could have done but did not do: 1) Tell us where we could park. We had a small car (a Mini Cooper) but were afraid to park it in his driveway because of the confusing signs in front of his place. 2) explained to us that his own place had a street address but that the ""Austinville Cottage"" did not. We drove around looking for the street address and nearly made a mistake. He might have mentioned that the bicycles were available and also that he kept goats. I would have gladly borrowed a bike had I known that was an option (yes, it was in the listing, but I did not bring it). 3)His laundry facility was in the same building where we stayed. It would have been considerate of paying guests to have finished his laundry before we arrived. We told him when we would be there and were on time and not early, so no excuses. 4) He should have paid more attention to provisioning the bathroom. It had only the roll of toilet paper on the dispenser. When we were close to running out I called him and found out that he kept it in his laundry room in a well-hidden storage area. Also there was no bath or shower soap in the bathroom, only hand soap and some abrasive scrub. I did not expect to have to bring our own soap. And most importantly, Chris should not have been so dismissive when we pointed out an important fire safety issue with both his front and back doors. The place looks very well-decorated in superb ""Austin Weird"" style (and I do know Austin weird having spent a whole summer here in the late 70ies. BUT the picture does not reveal that both the front and the back door have double deadbolts and this is a serious code violation, at least in California. When I pointed out that it was illegal in California, Chris said ""it's okay in Austin"", but I don't believe him. So many lights in that place were operated from improvised wiring that I feel the place is a serious fire hazard. Yes, he did have an extinguisher, but since it was on the back porch which most guests would keep locked, it would be useless in the even of a fire. Another safety issues is that he hid a huge hole in the concrete floor under a mat. He stuffed the hole with some cotton cloth, but nevertheless it would be all too easy to fall and sprain ones ankle. I think that a building inspector should review the Austinville for code violations and Chris should make improvements before AirBND allows..."
341530,23757981,2014-12-09,10182512,Jade,"This was my first time trying airbnb, and my fiance and I were pleased with our experience. Chris was a fantastic host. He made our stay very comfortable and exceeded our expectations by making sure all of the accommodations suited our needs. He even surprised us by ordering us 2 glasses of wine when we went out to dinner at Lenoir, which is right around the corner from the cottage. 

Speaking of location, the cottage is within walking distance to all the best restaurants and bars on 1st St and So. Congress and a short drive to Zilker park and downtown. The place is depicted accurately online and we especially loved the outdoor space for our puppy to run around.    We are definitely coming back soon to try out the other cottage on the property."
341530,24405783,2014-12-28,2484555,Elyse,"We had a great time at this perfect South Congress Location.  A unique country-like oasis in such a central part of the city(there are even cute, friendly goats on the property!).   What you see is what you get, as far a photos go.  It is a rustic dwelling, but it is really clean and comfortable.  Chris was friendly and available for advice at any time.   We arrived on christmas day and were greeted with a small tree, bottle of wine and even a gift card to a great restaurant around the corner.  Very thoughtful and unexpected! Would stay again and recommend to friends."
341530,24588591,2014-12-31,8283086,Jessica,"Super cute cottage feeling home in the best part of Austin. Easy walk to many many restaurants and bars. Chris provided every amenity one could need (soap, shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, towels) plus some nice little extras (two coolers filled with drinks)! Would totally stay here again. Chris even took us on an awesome little tour of the neighborhood. He left us with complete privacy but was extremely easy to get a hold of the entire time. He also has the cutest little animals! Just be careful bc paws may be dirty if you're wearing nice clothing. Other than that, loved all the fur babies and would totally stay again. "
341530,25754360,2015-01-25,25591355,Joy,"We had a lovely time for our anniversary, Chris was awesome. The place was fun and kitschy, thank you so much! Look forward to staying here again when we are in town. "
341530,25797712,2015-01-26,17501639,John,"This place WILL make your Austin trip more memorable.  We had a fantastic time at Chris's cottage and loved every minute.  He's a wonderful host that went above and beyond to make our stay more enjoyable.  It was our first time in Austin and it feels like we know the city so well already.  The cottage is cute and rustic, but so fully loaded with a cool aesthetic as well.  And you get goats and urban chickens in your backyard!  It was a really wonderful time and I'd recommend this as must-stay to anyone looking to go to Austin.  You'll have a better time because of it."
341530,26297844,2015-02-09,21319929,Alexis & Bert,"We had a great time in Austin. Chris was an awesome host - He was always available to answer questions and since it was our first time to Austin he gave us a driving tour when we first arrived. 
His recommendations were spot on - Lenoir was delicious. The abode is very comfortable and has every need you can think of. Location is perfect. All in all, a great stay!
"
341530,26602963,2015-02-16,25824417,Cassie,"Chris is so nice and very hospitable. The goats and chickens were something different and fun. We rode the bikes that he has for your use. The location is great. Plenty to walk to and do
around the cottage. The house and grounds are very clean for the age of the house. I will for sure be back to visit. a Austin must. "
341530,26817043,2015-02-20,13486672,Nan,"Chris met us at the airport which was a great help.  He also provided a tour through downtown and the surrounding area on that trip.  He pointed out various sights, restaurants and local attractions.  He did a great job trying to match our interests, taste in food etc with nearby restaurants and points of interest.  Neighborhood was eclectic and friendly.  The cottage was as described in listing.  We really enjoyed the casual setting, suits our vacationing style.  We would return.  Great first trip to Austin."
341530,27055556,2015-02-24,6628571,David,"Chris is great - showed us his place, showed us around the neighborhood in his car and pointed out some great places to eat at. I'd visited Austin several times before, but his local knowledge was invaluable. He even brought us some desserts from a nearby chef's event which were great. Super thoughtful guy, has obviously been doing the Air B&B thing a while but still very keen to make newcomers (this was my first Air B&B stay) feel welcome. Great little place he has there too, right in the heart of South 1st and just off South Congress. Cannot go wrong with this location."
341530,27319386,2015-03-02,23973831,Kristin,Great stay! The Cottage was everything we hoped for. Great location - within walking distance to all the local bars/restaurants/shopping. Chris was a perfect host - always went above and beyond for us. It was real Austin - can't wait to come back again! Highly highly recommend.
341530,27642741,2015-03-09,20538476,Ashley,"Out stay at Chris' Austinville cottage was great! This place is very cute, and perfect for a true Austin experience. The location couldn't have been better. Walking distance to shops, food, food trucks, etc. "
341530,27832046,2015-03-13,26300564,Chalon,"Chris is a fantastic host. He not only picked me up and dropped me off at the airport, but he helped to orient me to the entire neighborhood. During a month of heavy travel staying at numerous hotels, the Austinville Cottage was a place where I felt more comfortable and relaxed than many 5-star hotels. Thanks! "
341530,28115970,2015-03-18,17038890,Austin,"Staying here was perfect for SXSW- perfect distance to either walk, cab or take the bus. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting more local flavor than a traditional hotel downtown!"
341530,28460650,2015-03-24,10962426,Tara,"We loved Austin - the music, the food, amazing people!  The cottage was as advertised.  The location was within walking distance to South Congress area, a short cab (or long walk) to 6th street.  Chris was gracious and provided us with rides if he was home when we were heading out.  He also provided rain ponchos and umbrellas when it rained.  His recommendations were great!  Looking forward to coming back to Austin and would definitely rent from Chris again!"
341530,28598594,2015-03-27,25799822,Gabriella,"We had a nice time staying at the cottage - the animals were lovely and the cottage is in a fantastic South Congress location.

One of the only criticisms we have of the cottage was that the bed was uncomfortable (it sank in the middle).

Lots of drinks were provided in the fridges which we appreciated and enjoyed.

Chris took us around the neighbourhood on the day that we arrived so we could get a general feel for the area.

If you want to take advantage of the airport pick up and drop off then be sure to give plenty of notice as Chris was unable to accommodate us when we gave him two and one day's notice, respectively.

All in all a good stay in Austin!"
341530,28866595,2015-03-31,3558754,Stephanie,"Chris was a great host, and the cottage had everything we needed.  Great location with a short walk to South Congress and even shorter walk to the 1st Street area. We enjoyed meeting Chris and his awesome dogs.  We'll definitely consider staying at the cottage again during future trips to Austin. "
341530,29108030,2015-04-04,28161123,Emily,"My husband and I really enjoyed our time at the Austinville Cottage. Chris treated us like personal friends, picking us up from the airport and giving us a tour of a few different neighborhoods of Austin. Chris pointed out good restaurants, cute boutiques and fun activities to do during our stay. The cottage was homey and comfortable - Chris provided all the amenities we might need during our stay there. The location cannot be beat. There are so many great things to see/do within a short walking distance.  I would definitely recommend this place to any family/friends visiting Austin. "
341530,29284868,2015-04-06,25814502,Walter,"Austinville was a very enjoyable and unique house, which is located in a great location. Great restaurants just a short walk away and just a short ride to some of Austin's greatest attractions. I highly recommend this house.

 Chris's  hospitality and helpfulness will not disappoint you."
341530,29500155,2015-04-08,3309956,Natalie,"Great neighbourhood, and great rental. Had a bit of trouble finding it but once we were in, Chris gave us some really helpful recommendations and we had a fantastic stay. "
341530,29670438,2015-04-11,28100367,Ryan,"Amazing, one of a kind experience.  Chris goes above and beyond in many ways.  His connections and insights make you feel like a permanent part of the community.  His willingness to give rides, lend bikes, or give directions are all much appreciated.  The cottage is perfect, and the animals are icing on the cake.  Location is spot on.  Chris has a way of always being available or around without ever being intrusive.  Book the austinville cottage now! "
341530,29824613,2015-04-13,26709961,Dana,"My boyfriend and I couldn't have had a better experience at the Austinville Cottage. We were looking to stay somewhere outside the potential craziness of downtown and the location of the Austinville Cottage couldn't have been better. It is located on an adorable and quaint street yet is walking distance to some of the best spots in SoCo and is only a short ride to downtown. We loved how homey the cottage felt and Chris provides some amazing amenities such as free bikes, local coupons, free water and drinks, coffee maker and more. Chris was also great in providing us with recommendations of local places to eat and drink and even took us on a short tour of the neighborhood upon arrival. He was also kind enough to give us a ride to the airport and mailed me some items that I mistakenly had left behind. Overall, this was a perfect place to stay to enjoy the amazing city and made our trip to Austin even that much more memorable. Thanks Chris!"
341530,30128704,2015-04-18,6094440,Kenny,"Chris's place is awesome.  He picked us up at the airport with two of his dogs, and gave us a tour of town - Rainey Street, SoCo, & 1st.  Gave us the run down on where to hang, showed us around the property and let us have at the town.  We only stayed for one night, but wish we could  have stayed for longer.

The place itself is spacious - comfortable bed, cool set up, tons of soap/amentities - definitely doable for a longer term stay.  While SoCo and 1st are walkable, everything else is a short Uber away (which ended up being very inexpensive).  I would definitely stay here again if I was coming down to Austin!"
341530,30294829,2015-04-20,5408330,Fred,We had a great time. Chris and the dogs were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Great place to stay while visiting Austin.

Thanks Chris!"
341530,31566819,2015-05-07,24580268,Amy,Chris was very nice and helpful - he had many suggestions for restaurants/fun places to be.  The cottage was awesome- plenty of room in the front and backyard to just lounge around and relax. Location was pretty perfect- within walking distance to so many cool things especially Congress street. I would highly recommend!
341530,32469071,2015-05-18,3928386,Nicci,"Chris made us feel very welcomed. The cottage is a really funky, quirky place to stay while in Austin. As others have said, the location is hard to beat. You're not in the thick of it, you're kind of to the side but can access it all easily :). 

The cottage had so much character and Chris made sure we had everything we needed (and well stocked amenities). In my opinion, a weekend there was perfect but others have said they could do a longer term stay so totally depends on your opinion. 

Overall, we enjoyed our time there and would recommend it for travelers who are looking for character over luxury. "
341530,33238054,2015-05-26,29070850,Shaun,Chris was a great host. Upon arrival he gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood and have us some great recommendations. He checked in throughout our visit to ensure everything was going well. The cottage is in a perfect spot. Everything you need or want is in walking distance. We had the pleasure of experiencing a tornado warning our first night there and can say the cottage held up well! We will certainly be back!
341530,34844263,2015-06-13,10285205,Tara,"This is the second time that we stayed at one of Chris' properties. This cottage also has rustic charm and is very comfortable. The location couldn't be better for eating, drinking and shopping your way around SoCo and downtown. And Chris couldn't be a better host. He really went the extra mile giving us rides, stocking the fridge and even making us a delicious dinner on the grill one night... Not to mention he always has the cutest, most well-behaved dogs in tow."
341530,49588085,2015-10-05,33152855,Derek,"My girlfriend and I stayed during ACL Weekend 1 - 2015. Chris and the cottage are as advertised. Definitely, be the first place I check when visiting town again.  "

The location is perfect for the SoCo experience and it is funky enough that you know you're in Austin.  It is like staying at my grandma's farmhouse, but in the middle of the city.  Chris gave us a tour of the area which was nice."
341530,50915118,2015-10-16,29477766,Victoria,"This little cottage was the cutest place I have stayed yet. It was in the best location and close to everything.

341530,51904517,2015-10-25,24253671,Brittany,"Chris welcomed me and my friend with three adorable dogs in tow. He was flexible with our staggered arrival and kept us updated on the effects the impending hurricane in Mexico would have on Austin. The house is fully stocked and comfortable. Located just steps from some of Austin's best eats and shopping, including Bouldin Creek Cafe, Torchy's Tacos, Allen's Boots, and Uncommon Objects. The rest of the city is reachable by Lyft or Uber. "
341530,52122470,2015-10-26,42686448,Aaron,"This was a lovely place to stay! Chris was very accommodating for us and the cottage itself was cute and lovely, and left for us a list of nearby restaurants he likes and some drinks/snacks :D. Also; the bed was amazingly comfortable. 
Would definitely stay again!

The cottage is a unique blend of rustic and modern. A full kitchen allows for the option of staying in and enjoying quiet company. Can't forget to mention the great bed either. I hope to stay with Chris the next time I'm Austin. "

4161216,21914600,2014-10-26,13746448,Juliet,"I had an amazing time staying at the lovely urban oasis. It was quiet, surrounded by nature and was so relaxing. It was pristine, and Jodi left goodies and beverages which was a fantastic treat. I absolutely loved the living room area with its many windows. The view of the fountain and garden added to the relaxing experience. The bathroom with its open shower area was fantastic! I really enjoyed the comfy bed and many available books. Fantastic experience! "

The Oasis Guest House exceeded our expectations!! This place certainly has a hip Austin vibe... The architectural touches on the windows, wall panels and sliding doors tells that this space was not an afterthought.  The bathroom with marble tiled walls, full frosted glass wall, lux towels and robes, makes you want to thank the owners for taking the time and expense to make this place so incredibly special... The garden, with its water feature and foliage, is spectacular...we will be back!!!"

4161216,26542684,2015-02-15,14489580,Rod,Jodi was simply wonderful. Great house in a magical setting. It was truly inspiring.  This is one of the nicest homes I've seen on airbnb.  I just can't say enough about all the good things about this wonderful place.

All communication and arrangements went smoothly and the hosts went over and above board to make me feel welcome.  The property is beautiful and thoughtfully designed and within striking distance of all things I love in Austin.  Again, thank you to Jodi, Yvonne and Tom for a wonderful stay.  "
4161216,27561157,2015-03-07,1447873,Kaleigh,"Jodi was wonderful, and the check-in and check-out could not have been simpler. The guesthouse was exactly as described, and we had everything we needed to cook and feel at home.  Very fresh new feeling property, was better than anticipated. It was rainy during our stay, but the natural light, and the surroundings were so cozy and peaceful to stay in and do the business we needed to. The only suggestion would be to bring some water bottles with you, the tap was extra earthy -- and there isn't a freezer, or ice machine."
4161216,27892230,2015-03-14,28352759,Marshall,The guest house was great.  Exactly what we needed.  Thank you.  I would definitely recommend to others and will put this on the list if I need a place in Austin again.

4161216,29651364,2015-04-10,6835644,Jacqueline,This was an incredibly beautiful property and Jodi was very helpful and responsive leading up to arrival. My boss and I came in for one night and it was a gorgeous place to work and stay. Thanks for having us!
4161216,29769906,2015-04-12,8747224,Donald,"T

This is a really lovely and beautifully appointed stand alone cottage.   I was thoroughly happy with the accomodations. My only critique  is that It lacks a TV."
4161216,30186439,2015-04-19,16045552,Michelle,"I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about the Garden Oasis Guesthouse! It was the ideal location to host a small gathering in central Austin, with the house incredibly light and open and the garden even more beautiful in person than we imagined. None of our guests wanted to leave and everyone was inspired by the garden's ingenious design. Thank you so much for an unforgettable weekend! "
4161216,30507206,2015-04-23,8846683,Grace,"Everything was great, as per usual.  Perfect trip. "

4161216,31831596,2015-05-10,7730095,Prasanth,"The Garden Oasis was the perfect place to spend our anniversary. Jodi and the homeowners were very courteous, and the guesthouse itself was gorgeous. Though it was just the two of us, we could have easily housed 2 more comfortably. Also, the courtyard is a peaceful retreat!"
4161216,37263567,2015-07-05,3889063,Peter,"Traveling with our not yet 2 year old can be difficult when it comes to accommodations. Our stay at the guest house was the best trip we have had as a family the last 2 years. The house is very spacious and open and being located in the back behind the garden it feels very private. There was plenty of room for our daughter to play and explore and there really wasn't anything we had to worry about her getting into. The garden was fabulous. The neighborhood was beautiful. Many good places to eat nearby. Easy access to many things in and around Austin. We walked around the area quite a bit. I was able to run down the Greenway to the river path and Around Lady Bird.

The guest house itself was exceptional. We just renovated our house so now its hard finding places to stay that don't feel like a downgrade. Not a problem here. Everything about it made for a comfortable and leisurely getaway. The house is well stocked with kitchen and bathroom items. It was very easy to show up and make ourselves at home.

We only briefly met the owners. They seemed really nice though and I look forward to getting to know them better on future trips.

This will be our go to for all future Austin trips.

4161216,41893692,2015-08-09,10829914,Heather,"This place was absolutely perfect for a weekend getaway. I stayed in the Garden Oasis for 2 nights on my birthday weekend and couldn't be more pleased with the place. Large windows completely open to the garden and create such a peaceful environment. The place was clean and stylish, yet cozy. The kitchen allowed us to cook a nice quiet breakfast in the garden at our leisure. Speakers were available for us to listen to music and enjoy the setting. We unfortunately did not meet the hosts, but they were nearby if needed. This location is very close to downtown ($8 Uber ride), great location. I can't wait to stay here again next time I'm in Austin! "

62428,10920546,2014-03-13,7876336,Jason,"Everything about our stay and experience was perfect. The house is beautifully decorated, practical and is in the perfect location. The host met us promptly and answered all questions about the house, neighborhood and everything.

John and Patty even left a 6-pack of a local beer in the house as a welcome gift!  A perfect touch that was very much appreciated."
5552689,33312822,2015-05-26,8324375,Hooman,"We absolutely loved staying at the Kuxtal Otoch! The place was extremely clean with fresh sets of towels and bedding (nicely scented too), clean plates and silverware to use, as well as any other necessities you could possibly think of. The kitchen and refrigerator are spacious. The laundry facility was also very useful! We loved all the little details that made the place like a second home, including an inviting living room and backyard bench for morning coffee. 

This listing and the photos were definitley accurate. The home is very clean and comfortable. There is an extensive home manual with lots of information on things to do in Austin. The cabinets included a variety of organic fair-trade coffee and tea choices.

Paulina was very responsive to our questions. She managed the house temperature remotely, so that we would walk into a comfortable temperature. The house has an alarm system that can be turned on when leaving the house. The neighbourhood was also quiet and quaint, and a stones throw away from stores, restaurants, and coffee shops. The house is a short 20 minute drive to downtown Austin. "
5552689,38352698,2015-07-14,37909050,Felipe,"Great location, AWESOME house, BETTER host.  Paulina made my Mom and I feel right at home, so much that my Mom was ""jokingly"" trying to have Paulina sell her the house:) lol
I highly recomend this home to all and I look forward to the next time I get to stay there because I will for sure use it in the future!"
6957659,38459752,2015-07-15,26095979,Tailah,"Ryan was a great host, very friendly and helpful. He made some great suggestions for places to go and his place was in a great location. A 5 minute walk to South Congress where there's great food and live music and only a super cheap Uber ride to downtown. The room itself is really big and clean. Great to have our own bathroom and the building had a pool. Would definitely stay here again."
6957659,38965387,2015-07-19,38603298,Brian,"My first stay using airbnb. Well worth the price. Ryan provided great reccommendations for local restaurants. Also provided fresh towels. Room was cozy with plenty of books to flip through. Fan and air conditioning were a blessing in the hot weather. He doesn't skimp on the toilet paper. Felt like I was using pillows. Sheets were clean and no sign of bedbugs! Room carpet was gentle on the toes. If you need to park, use the street or take a chance in the parking lot without a tenant permit. The place is in a nice neighborhood so no worries with street parking. Would recommend to anyone who is trying their first time."
6957659,39128253,2015-07-20,23917996,Jeremy,A great apartment in an awesome location in an amazing city! We had an en suite and Ryan was very easy going. Thanks
6957659,39356598,2015-07-22,38877044,Jeff,"Ryan was a fantastic host. He was a good blend of giving us suggestions for exploring Austin while also letting us maintain our privacy. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. We had a private bathroom and access to come and go as we pleased to the apartment. It is located in a safe neighborhood and, although we only stayed 2 nights, it is clear that Ryan is a great Airbnb host and we would highly recommend him. About a 25 min walk from downtown. "

6957659,40060661,2015-07-27,39327076,Linda,"First time using airbnb and it was a positive experience! Ryan was waiting outside for us when we pulled up. The listing, pictures and neighborhood were really nice and accurate description! He was courteous, friendly and laid back. One of our main concerns was that we wouldn't have our space to do things without having the host all up in our faces, but Ryan left us alone until we wanted to interact with him. He was knowledgeable of the area and provided us information and ideas of things to do. 

It was convenient that we could park in the lot instead of the streets. Also, that we could come and go as we please without curfews. Room was clean, bed was extremely comfortable and smelled like green apples! Bathroom was also well-kept and provided with fresh towels. 

We were welcomed to use his kitchen and anything in his fridge. He also placed sunscreen out in the kitchen for easy access. 

We will definitely use this place again in the future if we're in Austin again. We appreciate you letting us stay there. Thanks Ryan! "

The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and his condo is located in a beautiful historic area in Austin. We were only a couple of minutes away from really fun spots like Rainy Street and South Congress. I would absolutely recommend staying with Ryan."
6957659,43850940,2015-08-22,21336271,Colleen & John,Thanks Ryan for a great stay. Ryan was an amazing host. I really enjoyed my stay. It was easy to get in and out of his place. Ryan's neighborhood is lovely. All his directions were very clear. Check in was super easy. I had my own bedroom and bathroom which was nice. He is conveniently located near the south congress area. Walking distance to all the darling shops and restaurants.  I walked to dinner and shopping. I took uber to the convention center. I would highly recommend staying here. Very clean and quiet.  Ryan is a thoughtful host and helped make my trip a smooth one. I am a middle aged woman traveling alone and I felt safe and comfortable. 
6957659,47078824,2015-09-15,41952259,Michael,"Ryan was great and the place fit our needs.  Great location.  Easy access to everything on foot, car2go, or Uber. "

6957659,49282637,2015-10-02,45096310,Leo,"We had a good and quick response with Ryan by e-mail and cell phone. The heighbourhood was quiet, hilly and on walking distance from SOCO and Downtown.
We only met Ryan the second evening of our stay, because both we and he were away during most of the day and evening. The bed was good and so was our private bathroom. All clean and enough towels.
So we had a very pleasant stay at Ryan's appartment'."
6957659,49862335,2015-10-06,18591925,Baris,"Ryan greeted me at the pool when I arrived and we talked a bit about the area and places worth visiting straight off the bat which was very helpful.  The place was lovely and peaceful, with a nice quiet room at the back, the desk and arm-chair/rocker were pretty useful too.

We had a couple of chats over the time I stayed, he's a really friendly and relaxed guy, which made my stay all the more pleasant.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Austin.  There are parks and a green-belt all very walkable distances!"
4428105,22573041,2014-11-09,23422237,Alejandra,"Sara was incredible! We booked our room the same day that we needed it and she had it ready within hours. She answered all of our questions that we had throughout the day. The condo is great! Very cozy and has everything you might need. The neighborhood is great also, about 15 mins away from 6th St. Two thumbs up for the place and host!"

For our weekend trip, the location was perfect since we had friends close to downtown and North Austin. We loved all of the modern appliances. It was a sweet little getaway. "
4428105,22924440,2014-11-17,18993161,Amanda,Sara was a great host. Her condo was super cute and just what we needed for our girls weekend getaway. It was in a nice quiet location and the perfect distance from everything we wanted. Can't wait to book it again!

4428105,25664307,2015-01-22,25661448,Meera,"We were moving into Austin and needed a pet friendly updated place with yard access for a week. Sara was the most accommodating host and worked with us on our late check-in, check-out. She responds very quickly to any messages you sent to her. The place is very neat and tidy, accessible to major highways and shops. The neighbors were friendly and quiet. Good choice..will defiantly recommend Sara and her place at the drop of a hat!!"
4428105,29921425,2015-04-14,27641657,Damian,This was my first airbnb experience and Sara made sure to make it a great one! She was very accommodating about checking in and checking out since we were arriving and leaving at odd times. The condo is just like it is in the pictures and we were able to let a couple of friends crash on the pullout cough. It was a fantastic overall experience and I recommend anyone to book with Sara if you are looking for a great hostess.
4428105,30392935,2015-04-21,23424338,Marc,"Accommodations were very clean, pleasant and modern. There was more than adequate space for the two of us. Our host was welcoming and responsive. "
4428105,33441155,2015-05-28,22448969,Javier,"Sara was a great hostess, her condo was exactly as the pictures show: clean, comfortable, and inviting.  She left good instructions regarding the condo, the appliances, and even nice recommendations for a place to grab a coffee.  Sara also gave us tips for great BBQ, and some fun Austin must-dos.  We happened to be in Austin during heavy rains and tornadoes (unusual for the area), and she checked in on us and helped set my wife at ease during the bad weather.

We would not hesitate to book Sara's condo again, and will recommend her place to any friends/family visiting Austin!"
4428105,47000105,2015-09-14,29855759,Paulina,"Sara, left very clear/precise instructions on how to check in and check out.  Sara is quick to respond with any questions.

The neighborhood is beautiful with mature trees, quiet streets, and lots of deer! The Zen Retreat is immaculate, with access to the backyard and great pool.

3094268,21161782,2014-10-12,21856228,Jeremy,"I highly recommend Ashley's zen retreat. Ashley was very responsive from the beginning and very helpful prior to check-in. The place was just what we needed. Great neighborhood near downtown Austin. Ashley will help you with things to do, places to eat, whatever; just ask. The place is a private apartment tucked in behind the garage with private patio. Beautiful pool and hot tub available from private entrance. Ashley has a things to do folder available to give you ideas beyond her favorites she'll tell you about. Once again, we'll probably be staying here in our Austin trips and highly recommend."
3094268,21633451,2014-10-20,3973633,Anna,"My husband and I traveled to Austin for a long weekend for my birthday. Ashley's place was the perfect home base for exploring the city - it was only a 10-minute drive from downtown, located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. The room itself is gorgeous - set up like a high-end hotel, with a rain shower and very comfortable bed (my husband and I had not slept that well in a long time!) Ashley was extremely helpful leading up to the trip, offering recommendations for restaurants and things to do. She also accommodated our very late arrival time. We would definitely stay here again and would strongly recommend Ashley's place to others."
3094268,22281417,2014-11-02,17448522,Adalaide,"Ashley's beautiful zen retreat is everything pictured and more. We felt very welcome, comfortable and relaxed during our stay - not to mention it was the best night sleep I've had in a long while. I'd highly recommend this location to anyone looking to spend a weekend exploring Austin. Ashley was also a super sweet host - willing to give recommendations for eating, exploring and events, which is an added bonus! "
3094268,23027234,2014-11-20,20753651,Elena,"An awesome cosy place, good value for money. Ashley is the friendliest/most helpful host ever.  My friend and I have thoroughly enjoyed our Zen time, including the hosts' company, and we highly recommend it to everybody. Elena&Maria."

3094268,24866826,2015-01-03,12450349,Megan,"Ashley and Frank were the perfect hosts! They went above and beyond to help us enjoy our time in Austin (including driving us 20 min to the airport and inviting us to their NYE celebrations.) The bed was exceedingly comfortable and the apartment was beautiful.  The breakfast tacos right around the corner are amazing as well. The only thing that was a little disappointing was that we thought it would be easier to get downtown via public transportation (our mistake.) However, it is a great location as long as you plan on driving around! Highly recommend! "
3094268,25584029,2015-01-19,26083639,Macy,The listing was completely accurate and we loved the place! It was in a great neighborhood and was close to a lot of stuff. She told us about this awesome breakfast place that we could walk to in the morning and it was amazing.

3094268,26618083,2015-02-16,26535505,Hahleemah,"We chose the  Zen Retreat as a quick, but nice weekend getaway to celebrate my boyfriend's bday. The room was as described, with all of the amenities promised. The TV Is even equipped with Netflix, Hulu Plus, Roku, etc. As a naturalist, I appreciated the natural hand soap, local coffee, organic cane sugar, and fresh organic cream. I mentioned to Ashley that my boyfriend would like to find some local beer while in town, and she actually stocked some in the fridge. He was all smiles. The entire property was nice and well kept. Ashley was awesome with communications, updates, tips, and the like. Once, I texted her about something that was actually right in the room, so I felt bad for bothering her, but her response time was great. By all means, take her advice and try the breakfast taco eatery, which is almost right next door to the Zen Retreat. They are absolutely delicious, and whatever you get on them, don't leave out the potato hash. We would definitely stay at the Zen Retreat again and recommend it to others. It's going in my favs. "
3094268,28069011,2015-03-17,24740825,Stacy,"1/1 Zen Retreat was better than we expected. It felt like a home away from home. Ashley is an amazing hostess. She checked in regularly and made us feel so welcomed. 

We came to Austin for SXSW but probably spent more time in the backyard enjoying the peaceful vib and awesome chickens! 

I'm so thankful that my first experience in Texas was in Austin at Zen Retreat. I loved everything about my stay. And Ashley's recommendations for place to eat and shopping were totally on point. 

Thanks so much Ashley. I am sure we will be back. 

With lots of Love,
Stacy"

Ashley was very friendly and accommodating and provided tons of great information for getting around.  The room was well stocked with anything you would have in a hotel room and more.  The garment steamer in the closet was a life saver when the one we brought from home stopped working!  Great room, great locations, and great hosts!"

3094268,30452417,2015-04-22,2716716,Lena Marie,We had a lovely time in the spacious backyard and the sun hit the pool just right for tanning. Our host was very sweet and let us use her grill to cook off some brisket. We hope to come back soon and enjoy her spot later in the summer. My husband and I had a lovely romantic getaway.
3094268,30717398,2015-04-26,31042267,Andrea,"The Zen Retreat was exactly what we were looking for!!! Great location, ideal parking and overall the perfect size for us. Ashley and her husband were so hospitable and full of local knowledge. The shower was amazing, especially since my boyfriend is so tall!! Comfy bed, lovely welcoming wine and great patio complete with cute chickens roaming around. Didn't get the opportunity to enjoy the pool, but looked very inviting. Look forward to staying at the zen retreat again!!"
3094268,32999557,2015-05-24,27944247,Melanie,Ashley and her husband were great hosts. They let us have our privacy but also invited us to join them and their friend on the patio for some Brazilian BBQ. The room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely book with Ashley again! Thanks!!
3094268,34822510,2015-06-12,35029279,Jeff,"Arrival was seamless, guest house was clean and well appointed, hosts were great with valuable local knowledge and advice.  I highly recommend these residences.  I toured the three properties and you can't go wrong with Ashley."
3094268,34987772,2015-06-14,21023947,Kiersten,"Ashley was wonderful, very welcoming! The location was perfect for the wedding I attended at House on the Hill and for downtown. I couldn't have asked for a better place!"
3094268,37346334,2015-07-06,6965795,Glenda,"What a great place to stay! Super cute, super quiet, and a great location if you don't want to be right downtown, but just a few minutes away. Food, shopping, and banking right around the corner. The perfect little getaway :-)"
3094268,41619304,2015-08-08,36224620,Patty,The listing was very accurate and it was in a great area.  Very close to everything we were doing!
3094268,45957107,2015-09-07,8226104,Virginia,Thank you for having us. Your pool is gorgeous and the bedding and linens were lovely. 
3094268,47882836,2015-09-21,19990637,Kristine,"Ashley was an awesome host.  She kept in touch with me regularly, and greeted  me warmly with fresh hard boiled eggs from the lovely chickens on her property.  It was truly a wonderful little home away from home and served as a great base for me while in Austin. The room was just perfect, newly appointed and a very peaceful environment.  "
3094268,49422050,2015-10-04,33201624,Heather,"Ashley was great! She and her family were very welcoming. Not only did she provide us with a place to stay, but she helped us figure out transportation during our stay, made us breakfast and allowed us to join her family and friends for fun in the pool. The listing accurately depicts the facility, it was super nice, and we still received all of the amenities (iron, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, etc.) that would be provided at a hotel. I would definitely recommend a stay at the Zen Retreat! "
3094268,50434628,2015-10-12,4834552,Kara,Highly recommended! Great private room with everything you need. Very comfortably stay and Ashley and her family really go the extra mile to make sure you have what you need and that your stay in Austin is memorable. 
3094268,51933464,2015-10-25,12732426,Paloma,Ashley was a great host! I unfortunately wasn't able to meet her because of a busy weekend but my boyfriend arrived before I did and she greeted him warmly and showed him in to the retreat. We were welcomed with a bottle of champagne which was greatly appreciated after a long drive and was a great start to a weekend of celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. The Zen Retreat is exactly as advertised. It smelled great and was clean and welcoming. We had no problems at all during out stay and were provided with everything we needed. As avid coffee drinkers we took advantage of the coffee in our mornings and had the best breakfast tacos just next door at Texas Honey Ham. The location is near downtown and in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Thanks so much Ashley! It was one of the best stays using Airbnb and I definately recommend staying here if you can when in Austin. 
2310971,11049713,2014-03-18,6203265,Rob,"PERFECT apartment for one person attending SXSW!

I could not have asked for a better location, a nicer facility, or a more helpful host.

Elizabeth was the ideal combination of ""helpful"" and ""not around"" - she let me be on my own, but checked in occasionally to make sure things were good.  She graciously left some refreshments for me, which really helped by the time I finished battling the airlines and finally arrived!  

The apartment is extremely clean, uncluttered, and well appointed.  Icing on the cake: The Roomba diligently and robotically keeps the hard wood floors in pristine condition, so you can remove your shoes when you come home.  

There's a small high-end grocery store right downstairs (expensive & limited selection, but so close!), and Whole Foods is about a 10 minute walk.  

Of the airbnb places I've stayed in, this is my favorite.  If I ever get to come back to Austin, my first call will be to Elizabeth - 5 stars!

"
2310971,26511372,2015-02-14,16420311,Greg,"New studio loft in great location  convenient with coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery store all very close (walking distance).  My stay also included a garage parking pass which was very nice since everything was within walking distance. Complex had a nice gym and pool on the 6th floor. Elizabeth was a great host and very helpful "
2310971,28125796,2015-03-18,574154,Matt,This is a great place to stay during SXSW and is only a block away from the Austin Convention Center. Elizabeth is very easy to work with and goes out of her way to accommodate you. The building also has a great gym.

2310971,30243173,2015-04-19,30733156,Katherine,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was great! Elizabeth's apartment was super clean and the building was modern and in the best location. We were walkable to a ton of restaurants and bars, and about a $5 uber ride to UT's campus. Elizabeth was very responsive and flexible - even when our travel plans delayed us coming in until after midnight, she was available to exchange keys. Would absolutely stay here again! "
2310971,30823526,2015-04-27,1849658,Michelle,"We loved staying here, the location was perfect. walking distance to everything. and our host was so nice and helpful! we will be back!!!"

"
2310971,48478112,2015-09-26,44845884,Sam,"This was our first time doing airbnb and it was the perfect room, location and experience.  I can't wait to do it again!  Elizabeth was extremely responsive, attentive and she has a great place.  She has great amenities including a gym, pool, complimentary coffee/tea in the lobby, as well as, Apple TV and an amazing bed with Capitol views.  I don't have a bad thing to say about it.  I would only recommend this place for a single person or couple due to the smaller living space."
2310971,49362293,2015-10-03,44047510,Jessica,The condo was beautiful with a nice view of the city.  Easy walking distance to many attractions or a short uber ride.  Elizabeth was very accommodating on meeting us and flexible with check in and check out time. Great experience!

2310971,51200892,2015-10-18,1992111,Sarah,"Elizabeth was a fantastic host, readily available to answer questions and happy to provide us with everything we needed, including garage parking in (and terrific views of) busy downtown Austin.  I felt at home right away in her gorgeous, warmly modern (and did I mention immaculate?) condo, conveniently located just down the street from Wanderlust, where my boyfriend and I were participating in a weekend-long yoga workshop.  When we did decide to drive, it was definitely quick and easy getting in and out of the building.  I would highly recommend her place for anyone looking for perfect urban oasis/home-away-from-home when visiting Austin!"
2310971,51994231,2015-10-25,605187,Tay,"This was my first time using AirBnB and boy did Elizabeth help make it a great experience! Upon booking she sent a very informative welcome packet that saved me a lot of time and frustration in figuring out how to get around town and finding places to eat. Her condo  was super clean, modern and conveniently located to just about EVERYTHING! 
I found her to be very personable, hospitable and helpful.
I would definitely stay here again if the opportunity arises."
2310971,52284793,2015-10-27,8136561,Kate,"Elizabeth's place was great! Perfect for a couple. Close to 6th street bars, and an easy uber ride from the rest of the city. Elizabeth was responsive and timely, I would recommend a stay at her place in Austin!"
2310971,52769064,2015-11-01,29119988,Aimee,Elizabeth was really helpful and her place was really awesome.  I thought the bed was super comfortable.  The condo is within walking distance to the bars on 6th.  I was able to walk pretty much everywhere I wanted to go.
72635,205626,2011-03-21,421148,Luca,"Great people; the host, Jason (if you're italian you can call him Giasone) is a great person. We enjoyed staying in his house. Beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and you can find all you need in walk distance. "
4235007,21257108,2014-10-13,17256238,Mollie,"We loved our stay at Krystal's place for ACL!! Great location, we took a cheap cab ride every night to Zilker then found a bus stop that dropped us off right around the corner from her place back home. Amazing decorations inside that make you feel just at home. Her sectional couch is MUCH larger also than the picture makes it out to be. We had three people share it and everyone slept extremely well.&  I could have skipped ACL to just sleep in her bed omg Sooo comfy!!! cannot say enough positive things about this place. We would & will definitely be staying here again for another Austin adventure!! Thanks so much for your hospitality, Krystal!!"
4235007,28172834,2015-03-19,15878991,Steve,"Krystal was very accommodating and her place is in a great location away from the SXSW crowds.
I thought it was expensive for what it is but I guess that's what SXSW does to property prices."
4235007,28358493,2015-03-22,7184002,Georgina,This was a great place for SXSW. Cheap cab ride or uber away from downtown. Clean and spacious place. Had everything you needed!

Thank you Krystal for making is such a wonderful experience!"
4235007,40862452,2015-08-02,488721,Kay,Krystal's place was centrally located and convenient to everything. While our stay was short we had everthing we needed to have a good time. The bed was really comfortable and the private patio was an added bonus. Would definitely stay again!
4235007,44072648,2015-08-23,28594828,Julia,Spot is very close to some awesome bars on South Lamar! Try the red porch and ABGB. Note I missed the part where she has animals so if you're allergic bring Allegra :)! 
4235007,47884884,2015-09-21,44124293,Erica,Krystal's place was very cozy and conveniently located.  The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.  It was nice to have a porch to sit out on with my husband and share a glass of wine.  My husband and I were very content with the accommodations and hope to stay again!  
4235007,48668763,2015-09-27,44467904,Depaul,The host canceled this reservation 19 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4235007,50346354,2015-10-11,34298093,Nick,Awesome place and a great host. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin. 
753947,18311026,2014-08-25,1475586,Jeffrey,"House was as advertised. Location was beautiful and on the lake without too many mosquitos as the outdoor patio is elevated.  Overall, a good stay and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a lake house in the Austin area. "
753947,19497613,2014-09-13,1010488,Kellie,"I want to thank Stephen and Amy for having their amazing home available on airbnb.   We had a company R&R day (20 engineers) and wanted to do something special, and this was it!!   Everyone was thrilled and there was room to spread out on the back deck and living room and kitchen, yet all be together.  The pictures were accurate and the house was even better than the pictures, and super neat and clean.   The space is truly special and welcoming, very peaceful and relaxing...  a real get away.   Stephen was excellent to communicate with, and Amy was awesome and close by and gave me the tour the day before, then helped me unload and set up for my group and then she was only a text or call away if I had a question.  The house is decorated so beautifully, classy, yet with a casual comfortable real Austin feel.   I hope we get to rent it again!   Thanks Stephen and Amy!   Loved It.    You guys go the extra mile to welcome your guests and to make them feel comfortable.   Thank you!!"
753947,21432907,2014-10-17,537928,Justin,Excellent house - very unique. Quiet and relaxing with lots of space. We held a two day company off-site here and it was great to sleep at night and hold meetings during the day without needing to find a separate place.  Would book again!
753947,25974315,2015-01-31,26376133,Tricia,"We used the house for a management retreat and it was beautiful and well suited for our needs.  There were plenty of areas for collaboration and meeting.  We didn’t realize that one of the bigger meeting areas was outside, but luckily the weather was excellent so that actually worked out nicely for our trip.  We were caught off guard to find someone living in the garage, but after a bit of drama discovered it was the groundskeeper and his son.  I would highly suggest that be disclosed in the future to avoid confusion!"
753947,28416847,2015-03-23,4042291,Alfe,The Host was great the house was fabulous and everyone was happy.
753947,44101330,2015-08-24,18344694,Bobby,"Stephen was a great host, who met us upon arrival and did a great walkthrough of the house.  His hospitality was great, as was the house, which was quite unique and perfect for our purposes.  Great house, great location, right on the water."

6677183,48667901,2015-09-27,45112074,Kendall,"Absolutely lovely! Convenient, clean and comfortable. Nice secluded community. Great room (nice decor, comfortable bed) and great to have attached bathroom. Susan and puppy Kylie were both lovely. Thanks so much!"
6677183,49547569,2015-10-04,45229322,Victor,We were met by Susan upon arrival.  The room was great and the location to where we need to be was fantastic.  Susan was pleasant and made sure that we were comfortable.  There was water and snacks in our room waiting for us.  The room is in the corner of the condo with a window allowing for some morning sun. Susan made sure that our ability to enter and leave the property was easy.  This location was easily accessible to plenty of shopping as well as 10-15 minutes to downtown. A wonderful experience ... we will not hesitate in booking with her again.
145210,2947498,2012-11-23,1775719,Natalie,The space was extremely clean and well taken care of. It is in a great neighborhood. I can highly recommend it!
145210,3779743,2013-03-14,4073374,Rhiannon,"I had a great time here during SXSW.  It was far enough out of the action so you could relax a little but so easy to get downtown by public transport.

I loved staying here as it was so nice and spacious, clean and lovely to chill out.  Dan and Britt were amazing hosts, especially with advising me on all the cool places to eat, being a coeliac all the gluten free recommendations were really helpful. Plus it was nice just to have a chat about life in general in America, seeing as I'm from across the pond! 

Dan and Britt were even kind enough to take me to the airport and give me a little trip around the real Austin.  Great way to end my trip.

If you want a lovely apartment, in a quiet residential area but still close to the wonderful heart of Austin, this is a must stay. Especially as Dan and Britt are such inviting hosts. "
145210,3912770,2013-03-26,5485390,Colby,The accommodations were incredible. Everything was perfect. Extremely well maintained and immaculately clean. It felt like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend staying here.
145210,3997682,2013-04-02,4887828,Jordan,"The guesthouse was beautiful! We were super impressed with how clean and lovely everything was. Added bonus the guesthouse was stocked with eco friendly products, which is something we really appreciate! Location was great and the owners were very helpful! It felt like home but better! We will definitely be renting from them again the next time we are in Austin!"
145210,4054048,2013-04-06,4738044,Courtney,"My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and had the most wonderful experience. The location was perfect, close to everything! We truly felt at home in the guest house, something a hotel just doesn't provide. Dan was super friendly and gave us lots of suggestions for things to see and do. We would for sure stay here again on our next visit, and highly suggest others to stay here as well! "
145210,4154237,2013-04-14,5369756,Kara,"Staying at Dan's guesthouse was like staying at a hotel...but better. In addition to being extremely clean, well decorated, and conveniently located in an awesome Austin neighborhood, the guesthouse is equipped with everything you might need during a stay away from home.  I wanted to move in permanently and would definitely stay here again!"
145210,4680353,2013-05-20,4478944,Becky,"Great house!  Nice and quiet, peaceful, clean, comfortable, quaint...perfect for a weekend getaway!  Super cute neighborhood, too.  Walkable to many awesome places!  Dan was a gracious and wonderful host.  YAY!  We'd go back in a heartbeat!  "
145210,4790715,2013-05-26,6151551,Mike,"Stayed here on a family vacation.  The owners are great people and were very helpful with our stay in Austin. The guest house is in a great location, as it is close to shopping, grocery stores, and multiple bus lines within walking distance.  The guest house is located close to the University of Texas and is only a 5 or 10 minute bus ride to downtown, the Capital, South Congress, and Zilker Park.  The house is just the right size for two people on vacation and is well furnished and nicely decorated.  Overall the house is great, I would stay here again.  That being said, there was a down side; the kitchen isn't well stocked if you're planning on doing any cooking during your stay.  A spatula and knife were the only cooking utensils, and though there are some mixing bowls and sauce pans for the stove, it lacked pans and bake-ware for the oven.  But since Austin is a Foody town loaded with restaurants, finding a place to eat out isn't a problem. I would recommend the Wild Wood Bakehouse for those who are gluten free.  I give the guest house 4 out of 5 stars. "
145210,5752566,2013-07-15,2654750,Jason,"I'm new to Austin and have been using airbnb as my corporate housing option.  I stayed in the Maiden Lane Guesthouse for about 2 months and I really did not want to leave as this is by far the best place I've stayed.  Dan was really cool to deal with and the place was very well designed with plenty of amenities.  Location was ideal; close to central market, Hopsfields, Salvation Pizza, Uchico, Taco Deli, 34th st cafe, and several bus lines.  I would highly recommend this place or any of Dan and Brit's locations, sure all are awesome.  "
145210,6421209,2013-08-12,6819697,Julie,"Our stay at the Maiden Lane guesthouse was a wonderful experience! Our host was very accommodating and sweet; he had great suggestions on where to go for food and fun. 
The house is very clean and modern with great furnishing. It is in a great location and we were just a short car ride away from everywhere we wanted to go. We will definitely be coming back to this house when we're back in Austin! Thanks Dan!"
145210,7402524,2013-09-18,6925160,Asa,"Dan was a very gracious host - when I arrived, he took the time to chat with me for 20 minutes or so about a lot of the cool local places to hang out (which he also has a list of). 

I have to say, I was very satisfied with Dan's Guesthouse. It was in a great location which is both very walkable (especially for Austin), and easy to get around to any of the major highways. Further, the Guesthouse itself is done to a high standard - it appears pretty well as the photo's depict it. 

In summary - I highly recommended Dan and his Guesthouse. He is prompt, courteous, and professional, and the Guesthouse is a great place to stay in a great location. "
145210,7521578,2013-09-23,8510679,Amy,"This place ROCKED! Gorgeous, close to everything and Dan was a great host. He offered suggestions on where to go & what to do in town. The place is clean, comfy and cozy. I'd rent again anytime! "

145210,8515781,2013-11-04,3769533,Fawn,"My husband and I spent our wedding weekend at Dan & Britt's guesthouse, and it was exactly what we were looking for—a home-away-from-home that was conveniently located, simply but beautifully appointed, clean, beyond comfortable, and relaxing. 

Highlights: extremely comfortable bed and bedding, large spacious bedroom and bathroom, washer and dryer, roomy walk-in closet, great shower, nice little furnished patio, workspace (a desk and wifi), privacy, excellent location, and did I mention it was spotlessly clean and well appointed? 

Dan and Britt also happen to be friendly and gracious hosts. Dan responded quickly to all correspondence (usually via text) and Britt was kind enough to recommend a FANTASTIC salon where I got my wedding day pedi & mani. (BONUS POINTS!) 

We travel to Austin quite a bit, and we will most certainly be staying at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse again. Thank you, Dan & Britt!"
145210,8689183,2013-11-12,2980845,Isabel,"I spent 3 nights in Dan's Guesthouse and It was Wonderful...I loved the space and the convenience of everything around me.... The deck is so wonderful and, loving trees, I was surrounded by the Majestic ancient Oak Trees... I also loved the chickens and the rooster that sang in the morning... :)...great having breakfast on the deck!  I was greeted by a bag of fresh grounded Wonderful  delicious coffee.... Wonderful Hospitality and very easy dealing with Dan.... Definitely will use again... Thank You Dan 3 "
145210,10266011,2014-02-10,10874539,Ruth,"I loved staying at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse. The house is located in great part of town, well-decorated, cozy, and even has a balcony to hangout on when the weather is nice. Dan was super prompt in answering any questions we had and very friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend this place. "
145210,10385612,2014-02-17,963024,Nancy,"The place was just as pictured- and perfectly located near restaurants, shops, CVS, and coffee houses. Dan was easy to coordinate with and very responsive to my questions. He made excellent recommendations for food, groceries, sights, shopping and getting around town. Everything in the place was easy to find, with clear instructions located in view. You do need a car to get around Austin from here but close enough to Downtown made it easy for me. I would stay here again easily! "
145210,10570225,2014-02-25,2780352,Dana,"Terrific place, friendly and thoughtful host. We loved exploring the neighborhood. "
145210,10638511,2014-03-01,327416,Kelly,"Dan was kind enough to let my fiancé and I use his guesthouse to shoot our engagement photos (we loved the look of his open kitchen, which was perfect for our shoot)! Although we didn't stay the night (and therefore cannot attest to the comfort of the bed or the amazingness of the shower), we can say that the apartment looked fantastic (and so did the shower and the bed). Everything was incredibly clean and well decorated. The location is great, and I would definitely recommend staying here! Thanks, again, Dan!"
145210,10716318,2014-03-04,11119995,Keitha,"What a lovely place to stay!  Not only was Dan accommodating and helpful with restaurant suggestions and local points of interest, but the guest house was amazing.  Clean, impeccably decorated, full kitchen with very nice appliances.  We loved every minute of our stay.  1000 times nicer than staying in any hotel.  We were able to do a load of laundry, brew our own coffee in the morning, and sit on the balcony to watch the Dan's chickens.  

Lovely place, we will return for sure! 
 "
145210,11220650,2014-03-25,12186141,Gina,"Fabulous place to stay.  Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin. Comfortable, hosts are great, love the chickens."
145210,11318314,2014-03-30,5898286,Brook,"This house is lovely.  It looks exactly like the photos.  Very clean, easy to find.  Loved the deck.  Hosts were very helpful and gave lot of great advice on where to eat and sites to see.  We will for sure be back!"
145210,11502332,2014-04-05,10911748,Manda,"We had some travel plans change last minute and needed a place within 24 hours and Dan and Britt were so quick to accommodate us! Beautiful,  open apartment with all the right amenities and personal touches. Loved the location, the little patio and the view of the chickens! We will stay again the next time were in Austin. Thanks so much!"
145210,11742052,2014-04-14,5696884,Kerry,"This cute little house is amazing!  It's very comfortable and the details are fantastic.  Perfect location, and perfect hosts!  The guest house has its own entrance so there's plenty of privacy. We would definitely stay here again!"
145210,11835777,2014-04-16,10952213,Connie,"This was a beautiful space with obvious attention to ""green"" details, which was very much appreciated.  I especially loved the deck, I felt like I was in a tree house.    "
145210,12001538,2014-04-21,10472107,Serra,"This was our first experience with an Airbnb stay and it was everything we hoped for and more! In the past, we've always stayed at the W in town but this very stylish, comfortable and private treehouse will have our loyalty from here on. Surrounded by beautiful oak trees and lit by numerous windows that frame those trees, it is a lovely space and definitely has the feel of a treehouse. At the same time, it is spacious, beautifully decorated, and very clean with all the amenities you might need. Downstairs is a nice size modern kitchen and eating area, upstairs is the bedroom/sitting area. The deck is lovely and was perfect for our morning coffee, afternoon tea and relaxing with our books. Dan was very helpful during the reservation process as well as during our stay. Stayed in touch through text/email and when I needed help with some medical care information, he was very attentive and provided me with numerous recommendations. You would not get this kind of care from a hotel stay! We also used the restaurant suggestion and tried out Blackbird and Henry in the neighborhood for a great dinner. We will be back!!!"
145210,12274939,2014-04-28,12294656,Rene,"Dan and Britt's cottage is great. We loved staying here. It is very comfortable and very clean. Dan was super helpful with tips on local restaurants, markets, things to do, and even the best way to get around. I really liked staying here because it was very quiet and out of the downtown chaos. The deck is a lovely place to sit and drink coffee in the morning and watch their chickens and dogs. Their description and photos of the guesthouse are very representative of the place. I highly recommend their place and can not wait to return."
145210,12615868,2014-05-06,557602,Simon,"We had an excellent stay at Dan's guesthouse for 3 days. It's a beautiful space that is clearly crafted with a designer's eye, and well-located for easy access to many of the sites we visited over the weekend. It was especially nice waking up to tons of natural light flooding into the bedroom. The bed was very comfortable as well. Though we didn't need to communicate much, Dan was readily available by phone or text. Highly recommend!"
145210,13074054,2014-05-19,13278463,Kathy,"Everything was perfect. Owners were very accommodating before, during and after the stay, the neighborhood was charming, the guesthouse comfortable and attractive.  We spent a lot of time on the deck outside the bedroom.  We were very close to UT (1.9 miles) and plenty of places to eat, walk and with public transportation nearby should you need it.

I'm not sure if we'll be heading back to Austin anytime soon as this should be the last graduation for us - but if we do for any reason, we'll definitely try to stay in one of their homes again.   Great job, Dan and Britt and thank you!  
  Kathy Chandler"
145210,13501745,2014-05-29,12350567,Emily,"Dan was a great host and we were in good communication with him before and during our booking.
The Maiden Lane Guesthouse is gorgeous! We loved staying there. It was clean, spacious, stylish, and perfect for our week stay in Austin. It was super useful having a walk-in-wardrobe space, and a washer and dryer too. It was nice to have an outdoor balcony too.
The apartment was brilliantly located, near to lots of shops, restaurants and Amy's ice cream shop! We loved Austin and we loved this apartment - I would rush back! "
145210,13671152,2014-06-02,14293429,Hiroto,We stayed here while visiting our son and daughter-in-law. It was a great location and such a nice place to relax!
145210,13981243,2014-06-09,15854425,Michael,"Fantastic place that was extra clean, quiet, and great overall location.  A nice blend of minimalism and eclectic furnishings.  We never saw the owners, but they took good care of us nevertheless with ample communication and meeting our needs while staying there."
145210,14663688,2014-06-23,13134405,Erica,"My boyfriend and I came to Austin with the desire to simply live like a local for a few days. We loved the location and Dan was extremely helpful. The house is adorable, clean and comfy! There is even a binder of Dan's personal favorite places to go. I would recommend it to anyone. "
145210,14778867,2014-06-26,14853050,Britt,"We had a wonderful stay at Dan and Britt's beautiful, clean and quiet guest house. Dan was a very accommodating host. We would highly recommend this space to anyone visiting Austin.  "
145210,14984312,2014-06-30,5922218,Modesto,"Can't say enough about this place! Felt like a luxury hotel. Super clean, perfectly decorated (I'm a mid century collector myself), private entrance, private drive way,GREAT location...let me say that again GREAT LOCATION! You're with within walking distance to great food, walking/bike trails and everything that makes Austin weird :) Annnnnnd if for some reason you have to get in your car. Everything is minutes away. As in less than 5.....not even kidding. You will find yourself thinking why did I get in my car hmmmmm:)
Dan was very responsive. Even checked that we made it safely. Great people.
Seriously people if you are coming to Austin this is the place to stay! No really.....do it:)
We will definitely be coming back!!
Cheers."
145210,17885143,2014-08-18,19418840,Austin,"The pictures are extremely accurate. When I arrived it was immaculate and well set up for guests.  There are some great coffee, grocery, dining, and drinking places that are within walking and biking distance.  The porch is great too. "
145210,18212250,2014-08-23,5422056,Robbie,"The place was clean, comfortable and great location for food and getting around town. Dan and Britt were great hosts and we enjoyed seeing their chickens scratch around the backyard. A great Austin experience. "
145210,18480948,2014-08-27,6576461,Jessica,"The guesthouse was the perfect escape for our family of 4 on our first trip to Austin. Perfectly decorated, lots of natural light and nature around - including a gorgeous oak tree visible from practically every window. It was perfectly located and a short drive from pretty much anywhere we wanted to go.

Dan's recommendations were all spot-on and came as a sigh of relief being that we didn't research anything about Austin prior to arriving. He provided local freshly ground coffee that made me look forward to waking up every morning.

All in all highly recommended."
145210,20841920,2014-10-06,21026614,Steve,"This was our first foray into the world of AirBNB, and it was perfect. The guest house was exactly as it appears in the lovely pictures, well-kempt, well-stocked, a super comfortable temporary home. For any needs or questions, Dan responded in seconds, either by text or in person. He even gave us restaurant recommendations that were spot-on and made our stay in Austin even more memorable. Nice guy, impeccable taste, great place --- a fantastic experience by any measure. "
145210,21216533,2014-10-13,21010218,Cassandra,"The Maiden Lane Guesthouse was precisely how it appeared in the listing. The neighborhood was safe, quiet and had public transportation into the downtown area. In addition, there were several grocery stores, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Dan was easily accessible for questions, left a binder of local businesses and even went as far as taking us to the airport.  I would recommend staying at this location. "
145210,21598439,2014-10-20,21234199,David,"Unit was clean and simply appointed. It is only for renters and thus is not cluttered by possessions. Very little interaction with owners required. When we had a question, the owner responded immediately. Hot water tank cycles slowly, which I assume is due a very small capacity.  Quiet private street and well located with quick bike access to UT campus and downtown. Close to co-op food market a plus. Kitchen is lightly stocked so not really prepped for major cooking -we only had breakfasts which worked out fine. Good sunlight and cross-ventilation in second floor bedroom. Bed size is queen not king as one might assume from distorted interior photos."
145210,21939814,2014-10-27,5724775,Andrew,"We stayed in the Maiden Lane Guesthouse for four nights during our visit to Austin. The guesthouse is wonderful -- roomy, beautifully decorated, functionally designed, clean, private, and comfortable. The space was great for our family of four (parents, a 2-year old, and 3-month old). Dan was great host -- he communicated well, helped us when needed, and gave us great recommendations for things to do in Austin. He even let us borrow a pack-n-play. The location is great -- lots nearby and walking distance (e.g., Central Market). We highly recommend this guesthouse!"
145210,22287584,2014-11-03,12910063,Cindy,"The hosts were wonderful, even stocking drinks and coffee for us during our stay.  The guesthouse's location is great for anything you might want to do.  We found some great dining gems very close as well as a few that our host's recommended.

The guesthouse itself was perfect.  It was just the two of us, so between the nicely appointed kitchen and the well appointed loft area we couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to stay.  I particularly loved the cork floors.

If we come back this way, we would definitely stay here again.  We highly recommend it!"
145210,22581225,2014-11-10,4654319,Aaron,Great stay! Perfect for my first time in Austin. The house was very clean and the amenities were very much appreciated. Dan and his wife were great hosts.
145210,22895768,2014-11-17,20724159,Melinda,"Dan was not around the weekend we stayed at his place, but he left very clear instructions for us and he emailed to make sure we got in ok. He was great at answering my many texts looking for restaurant recommendations ( which were great!).  The place is immaculate and in a lovely neighborhood. It is very  well appointed and I appreciate the non- cluttered environment. I would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it."
145210,23322179,2014-11-29,802779,Ben,"My wife and I spent Thanksgiving in Austin to go to a football game and experience what the city has to offer. We instantly felt at home at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse. Plenty of space to relax and get comfortable. But also walking distance to the University campus and short drive/Uber to South Congress, Zilker Park, and downtown. 

We really enjoyed the recommendations Dan had for places to see and eat. We had a list from friends and there were several that matched up so it was obvious we had to check those out!

This was our first Airbnb experience and it surpassed our expectations, would highly recommend this spot if you're heading to Austin anytime soon."
145210,23659710,2014-12-07,18995371,Jay,Dan was a great host and responded promptly to all questions. My parents and I stayed in this unit and it met all of our expectations (and was especially clean!). Thanks Dan 
145210,23797660,2014-12-10,2066495,Jessica,"Maiden Lane Guesthouse was perfect!  It's exactly like the photos, very spacious, cozy and it has everything you need.  It's in a great location, you can walk to several different places easily.  Dan was very nice and easy to communicate with.  He even left coffee in the kitchen, which was so nice to have!  A lot of Airbnb places don't have shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, etc, but Maiden Lane had all of those things which was very convenient.  I would definitely stay there again, it was lovely and perfect.  "
145210,24198590,2014-12-22,9017779,Renee,My niece and her husband visited me in Austin and I booked them for two nights at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse because my house was full.  We live in the same neighborhood and it was wonderful to have them so close by (and they loved the neighborhood).  The cottage was very comfortable and they appreciated all the special touches including coffee available in the morning.  Definitely recommend this guesthouse for anyone visiting Austin.
145210,25138690,2015-01-07,18743987,Patrice,"We loved staying at Maiden Lane. The price was spot on and it was good value for money. As a person who is into design, I appreciated the modern, retro, funky vibe of the loft apartment.  We couldn't have gotten a better experience based on its location. It's nestled in an artsy-type community and still all within walking distance of indie retail shops, coffee shops and and vintage stores. There were plenty of tex-mex and bbq restaurants to choose from. Plus a nice co-op grocer for organic foods and a a gluten free coffee shop for those who are health conscious. We found the apartment to be very spacious for two people and incredibly clean. My favorite part of the apartment was the kitchen and bathroom, in addition to the cool cork flooring!  We will definitely tell our friends about it should they ever visit Austin."
145210,27926240,2015-03-15,4499264,Lauren,"Just finished up an absolutely lovely stay here.  Dan & Britt were very welcoming and constantly in touch via email to ask if there was anything I needed.  The place itself is adorable and looks exactly as it does in the pictures.  Plenty of space since it's bi-level and is decorated really well.  I much preferred staying here (it really is just 10 minutes north of downtown) than somewhere near the crowded Convention Center area.  I sat out on the deck and watched the neighbor's chickens (so charming!), and went to a bunch of great restaurants within walking distance.  If I get back to Austin I'll be looking to rent this place again.   Highly recommended."
145210,28382692,2015-03-23,12126562,Colin,"Dan was a great host, offered good advice on dining and getting around. The place was exactly as described, clean, and conformable.
Would definitely stay there again."
145210,28727256,2015-03-29,6171117,Ben,"This was a great find. The place is beautifully furnished and just the right size for staying a few days. Great balcony, private parking, quiet street, central location. (And the chickens!) There's a custom Austin guidebook waiting for guests, coffee on the counter, plus Dan and Britt were readily available for tips and recommendations. Perfect hosts."
145210,30659431,2015-04-26,23968352,Jeremy,"Ideal house for two in a great neighbourhood of trees and gardens, a short walk from some excellent restaurants and an atmospheric cafe as well as shops, buses and a bike-hire place.  Dan and Britt were perfect hosts - arms-length but quick to respond or give practical advice when needed.  We stayed four weeks and, since we like to cook, could have done with a more fully equipped kitchen -  otherwise everything was perfect.
"
145210,31648009,2015-05-08,2082644,Kunal,"I stayed at Dan's place for 3 days. Beautiful place! The guesthouse was clean, well organized and has comfortable modern furniture. Detailed instructions were left all around the apartment so I did not need to reach out to Dan and Britt for anything. Dan was also incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and was very responsive when I had questions. He even let me leave a suitcase in the closet for a couple of days, since no one was in the unit and I was coming back for an additional night. I have a lot of family in Austin and hope to stay here for many more nights in the near future. Thanks for everything, Dan. "
145210,31965815,2015-05-12,2082644,Kunal,See my prior review - this was for one additional night. 
145210,32976893,2015-05-24,30054909,Lotte,"My husband and I had a wonderful two-night stay in the Maiden Lane Guesthouse. We especially loved all of the natural light coming in from all of the windows surrounding the upstairs bedroom, the cork floors and fun decor. It is a very private unit in a superb location. We were able to drive to downtown Austin and surrounding areas within minutes. There are also many eating and shopping options in the immediate neighborhood as well. Dan was very helpful and welcoming. We would definitely consider booking at this location in the future. "
145210,33675770,2015-05-31,30936937,AnaLouise,"Arrived to find a pleasant, clean, apartment.  The kitchen had a coffee pot and they even provided some coffee.  The location was very nice and close to popular Austin sights.  We really appreciated the information about area restaurants and shopping locations provided by the hosts.  

Great bed, nice patio, and comfortable peaceful surroundings made for an enjoyable stay.  

Dan and Brit were great.  We have no complaints and would stay at this sight again.  

"
145210,34292390,2015-06-07,3219443,Tina,"Maiden Lane Guesthouse is lovely. Simple and tasteful interior design, very comfy king bed, plenty of space to spread out over two floors. Awesome deck off the top floor. The bathroom has all the toiletries you need, too.

As you come and go from the house, you'll be greeted by the sounds of mourning doves and backyard chickens -- delightful!

We loved the location because it is close to the center of Austin and UT, and just two doors down from our daughter, who was getting married the weekend we stayed here (super convenient).

Dan was an excellent host. Somehow I managed to lock us out of the house (not easy to do!) and Dan was there within a minute or two to let us in.

I would definitely go back!"
145210,35120018,2015-06-15,20160487,Carolina,"This is an excellent guest house, in top condition. Immaculately clean and decorated. It's in a great neighborhood, close to everything, but in a very quiet and safe street  for a great stay and sleep. Dan is a great host. 

The location is really perfect, as it is really close to UT campus, Austin downtown, and restaurants, shops and grocery stores. 

We stayed here with our 4-month old and it was perfect for all our needs: it has a pack-n-play with changer, we could sterilize all our baby's things, refrigerate important things, cook simple meals and do laundry as often as needed (things that you could never get in a hotel!).  

Hands down the best property we've stayed. Thanks for everything Dan!"
145210,36569321,2015-06-29,6447289,Channy,"Dan was very helpful, communicative and respectful.  I actually never saw him but he responded to my questions very quickly, so even though it's a guest house on his property it feels very private.
It was just s described.  Very clean, nice kitchen with a porch off the back.
The area is great; very walking friendly.  There are 3 grocery stores/co-op in walking distance, Central Park and Juiceland plus many other great restaurants. Bus line is right by too."
145210,41778412,2015-08-09,564156,Steve,"Had a great extended stay at Dan and Brit's place. It's very private on a little side street, but still convenient to the main drag (Guadalupe St.) which has several bus lines running to the UT campus and downtown. I particularly enjoyed FoodHeads around the corner for breakfast tacos which uses eggs from the house next door (owner lives there I think). I also got to hang out with Dan and Brit for a bit and they are a super sweet and helpful couple. Having a washer and dryer in the house during the hot (and sweaty) summers is a lifesaver. "
145210,42336859,2015-08-12,22963363,Stephen,"The Maiden Lane Guesthouse is a great place to stay in Austin.  Perfect location.  Comfortable, modern, and clean.  Dan made great recommendations for places to eat and visit.  The next time we come to Austin, we hope to stay here again."
145210,43819107,2015-08-22,39433818,Andrea,"This guest house is absolutely lovely! My boyfriend and I stayed there for three days and were delighted with the fun decor and cleanliness of the place. The natural light coming through the windows, the cork floors and the modern decor made us wish we would have stayed longer. We also loved the location as is only 15 minutes away from most businesses. We did not have the chance to meet Dan and Britt in person but were able to communicate with Dan over messages and he was very helpful and accommodating. We also enjoyed the beautiful view from the balcony and were able to enjoy our breakfast while we watched the chickens they raise in the backyard. Believe me, it was more entertaining than it sounds. We would definitely recommend this place!"
145210,45104403,2015-08-31,38570377,Marla,"The listing was completely accurate. The house was as nice as the pictures looked. It was very clean, in a great neighborhood–very quiet, easy to walk to coffee shops, ice cream, great grocery stores & restaurants. The house had everything we needed in the kitchen & bathroom. Easy to follow instructions and lots of great suggestions. We were very happy with our stay."
145210,46006909,2015-09-07,41414502,Drew,"My wife, baby and I had a great relaxing stay at the guesthouse. Since staying there a week ago we have raved about it to our friends and family. With certain Airbnb listings you are let down- it's not large enough, the entry and exit are located down strange hallways, it is unkept, ect... This is absolutely not one of those listings and feels more like a boutique hotel then someone's residence you're borrowing for the weekend. 

That being said, we were thrilled with our experience and will definitely put this place at the top of our list when we revisit Austin. 

If you seek a tranquil setting in the heart of Austin's eclectic neighborhoods then this is the ticket. 

Thank you to Dan and Britt for their hospitality and great concept. A plus! "
145210,47031211,2015-09-15,6883556,Adrian,"I wanted an authentic Austin experience, and I could not have asked for any more from the Maiden Lane Guesthouse. A location brimming with character and charm, it is walking distance from some rather incredible food, drinks and shops. 

The Guesthouse itself was clean, bright, well maintained and welcoming. Dan was a fantastic, unobtrusive host that made himself available and always went above and beyond in making sure that we were comfortable, happy and well versed in what to try and where to try it.

This real was the perfect stay... I can't speak highly enough of the location, the home, and the wonderful hosts. "
145210,47726698,2015-09-21,647129,Bret,We really enjoyed staying at Maiden Lane. The Guesthouse is in a great location. The bed is very comfortable and the decor of the place is great. We loved it. I highly recommend staying here in you're in the Austin area. 
145210,50748423,2015-10-14,19342715,Brandon,"I stayed at the Maiden Lane Guesthouse for 8 nights while I was checking out Austin and attending ACL. Dan and Britt were great hosts. They were easy to communicate with and offered a number of awesome, local bars/restaurants to check out. The house was nothing short of perfect. It was extremely clean, comfortable and private. After my 8 days at the house and Austin, I was sad to leave it. I intended on visiting Austin again within the next year and wouldn't rent any other place."
145210,51285343,2015-10-19,7676605,Colleen,"Dan's guesthouse was a lovely bright place to stay--the deck is an especially nice feature under the shade of a great live oak tree.  It is near great coffee, restaurants, and parks, yet in a quiet neighborhood where I could take morning walks.  Dan was a great host and very available if one needs anything, but the guesthouse is very private and well-equipped.  Thanks for a great stay!  "
5211169,26280063,2015-02-08,25200955,Kasia,"I booked Dallas's room while he was off in Michigan. Colin, his roommate, was a fantastic host. Good conversation and he offered up a tasty breakfast the day I left to boot! The room was clean and comfortable. Dallas left a towel and wash cloth. If you're a lady and have a weird thing about using men's shampoo and what not then bring your own. Nice location, safe, and good communication. I would stay here again!"
5211169,36670624,2015-06-30,30447895,Majo,"Eventhough Dallas was not my rommate, he stayed in contact with me all the time making sure I was ok with everything. Thanks for all Dallas! You're so cool! ~."
5719541,29085367,2015-04-03,30169899,Kevin,"My experience was wonderful. Will is a very friendly and accommodating host. Booking was very efficient, his response time is great and he was happy to answer any questions I had. Will was great to talk to but also respected privacy. The property is beautiful with nice gardens with plenty of chickens supplying fresh eggs every morning. Looks and feels similar to the hill country but has the convenience of being a few minutes from downtown and many other Austin attractions. It was very affordable as well as flexible. I would highly recommend it to anyone. "
5719541,29588912,2015-04-09,20624622,Christina,Very cozy.  Out in the country feel without being too far from the hustle of Austin.  Great place to slow down and feel connected to nature. 
5719541,30814705,2015-04-27,30965343,Gabriel,"This was my first AirBnB experience and I honestly wouldn't have traded it for anything in the world . Will was extremely accommodating and kind and thoughtful . We fed chickens , had fresh eggs , saw an amazing concert on the grounds with hundreds of other people, and had a home away from home . 
I would recommend anyone to stay here it is worth every penny . "
5719541,31474297,2015-05-05,28418832,Mike,"Excellent stay. Will and Karen were incredible hosts.  The location was wonderful, just as described and shown, the perfect country retreat right in Austin. Thanks for everything, guys!
"
5719541,35395039,2015-06-18,33525919,Leonardo,"Staying at Will's home feels like you're staying at a little spot in dreamland.

8555618,49541539,2015-10-04,28244826,Collin,"Scott's house was inviting, welcoming and open, especially for the price. There were four of us staying at the home and we fit very comfortably. The highlights of staying at the house were the beds (which were about the most comfortable I've ever slept in) and the Topo Chico's/Waters that were offered to us. Additionally, the house is in a good neighborhood for ACL, a little bit of a hike (took 35-45 minutes to walk), but there were Ubers everywhere if you preferred not to go by foot. Also, in walking distance to a prime area of 1st street proximate to restaurants and coffee shops.    "
5414227,28217771,2015-03-20,28276941,Louie,It was a great time in Austin. We had no problems at the house and felt welcome from the time we arrived. Very close to the city.

The house was in great condition and in a really great part of town, we were even able to walk home from downtown! When we had any questions, Taylor was quick to respond to us and extremely friendly. Overall great experience and we would definitely rent it again. "

4126874,26311764,2015-02-09,26017223,Jessica,"Erica was great and communicative. We didn't get to stay in the house we booked because apparently some guy was staying there, and it was a mess. He tried to tell us that we were not supposed to be there until 5:00 to check in, but we knew our check in was at 3:00. Then he acted very put out that we were even there, and he tried to make an excuse that the maid hadn't come yet, but we could stay there. Well by that time, airbnb put us in the neighboring house, which was clean and lovely and perfect. They fixed everything, so we did not have to stay in that dirty house."

The location is great and provides easy access to different parts of the city.  Only downside was the extra room downstairs can only be accessed by going outside through the yard."

4126874,29816983,2015-04-13,26103380,David,Great host.  She answered any questions we had.  
4126874,30284455,2015-04-20,16057012,Stefanie,"The house is great. Location is great. We seemed to have a perfect storm of issues though. From the downstairs outside lock battery dying to not having a code for the downstairs lock at midnight to the owners dog being dropped off at the house while we were there to losing power for an entire night, it was an adventure to say the least. I found myself on the phone with the rental company 3-4 times a day for various issues.  And then having the code changed at 9am on check out day instead of 10, while standing on the front porch with uber waiting to take us to the airport with our luggage locked inside - was a bit stressful while on vacation.  The good news is that the rental team always answered the phone- Even at midnight. So all these issues, while on vacation, and they are providing me a $100 discount. Is it enough?  You make the call. "
4126874,31707363,2015-05-09,2400101,Elliot,"We did have a few issues with the cleanliness of the fridge and the poor lighting in the bedrooms upstairs but these were all resolved while we were there.

It is an amazing location and a unique house, would I stay here again? Yes i would"
4126874,31880793,2015-05-11,13733896,Shauna," 
This home is very unique and has some interesting amenities. However, over our stay, we found a number of things to be a letdown.
We had a great time this past weekend, but the cleanliness of the rental was certainly dissatisfying. Upon arrival it was clear that the place was not cleaned, or possibly cleaned with very little effort. One of the largest concerns, was the downstairs bedroom/bathroom. This space had a horrible odor that remained our entire stay. Additionally, the bathroom seemed to be used shortly before our arrival. There were two piles of wet towels on the floor and the shower was still wet. Although check-in was at 3pm, we were not able to get into the downstairs until after it was cleaned which was around 7:30 pm.
 
Moving upstairs, there were additional things that were very dissatisfying. The kitchen was not really clean and even more disappointing was the state of the refrigerator. it was very unsanitary with spoiled food and random items thrown in, laying on their side or upside down.
 
Additionally, the lighting in the home was extremely poor. Upstairs, there were only three working lights; back area near full bed, bathroom, and front porch. The master bedroom did not have any working lights and the blinds were broken, making it very difficult brighten the room at all. The light fixture over the dining room table only had one or two bulbs that would turn on. Another concern of ours was the fact that the windows did not open anywhere in the house.
 
Overall, the group appreciated having a place to stay, but we were very disappointed in the rental considering how much was paid for the stay.

We loved the location - very near South Congress - tons of great food and shopping options nearby. Since we were a group with small children, Steven was kind to offer crib and pack n play and had tons of toys and play items which was a dream for entertaining the kiddos. Overall a great stay and would definitely return!"

7903047,48026125,2015-09-22,4403279,Wendolyn,"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Love Shack!  Erica was an extremely responsive and generous host.  Everything you need is there, with plenty of room to spread out.  It was comfortable and quiet.  The Love Shack is situated in Central Austin.  A car is a good thing to have, but your 15 minutes away from the many great places Austin has to offer.  We would definitely stay there again.  Thank you, Erica!"

6796603,41888965,2015-08-09,2986474,Daniel,"This property is professionally managed, so we never interacted with anyone in person.  We did have a little trouble with the keyless entry, but we were able to talk to someone on the phone who was quite professional and helpful to get that resolved.

The house is in a quiet older neighborhood, but the interior has been completely remodeled and was quite nice.  The house had plenty of space for four adults and two children.  The bedrooms were a bit on the small side, but there were two sitting areas in the main part of the house.  One thing to note is that while the house sleeps six, the dining table only seats four.

There were two issues that would prevented they stay from being great however.  I've notified the management company, so hopefully these issues will be resolved for futures stays.  First, the house had a problem with roaches - we were only there two nights, but we saw/killed at least ten, mostly in the bathrooms.  Second, when I went to start a load of sheets before we left, I found the washer full of standing water.  I set it to spin to try to drain it, but it just made a clicking noise.

Assuming those two issues get addressed, I would otherwise recommend this property."
2267290,10940525,2014-03-14,5308431,Erica,"Thank you so much to Jo and Alex (her tenant) for being so helpful and accommodating and letting us stay in this great space!

My friends and I recently booked the property during our film's premiere at SXSW and it was the perfect ""home base"" during the festival.  Our group was large, so we rented both the front house and this back Pre-fab unit with Airstream. 

The Pre-Fab unit is so cute and has everything you need!  It was such a great deal and a real life saver for our group.
This is a seriously unit property.  Very convenient to public transportation, but also a great little oasis to escape the hustle of downtown - especially during the festival.

We hope to be back next time we are in Austin!"
780091,3796144,2013-03-16,4825327,Peter,"Greg and Leah were awesome hosts.  The house was perfect for us and the neighborhood and neighbors were quite nice!  It was so nice to have this place as a refuge from all the SXSW craziness so we could actually get some work done outside of the hours we were working to promote our app at the festival.

This house is a cool house and clearly owned by people who love art and music.  Greg and Leah left an awesome binder with recommendations for all local food.  Overall, I'm really happy with my first airbnb experience!"
5933708,30344826,2015-04-20,22168788,Tom,"Jill was a great host! Responded super fast to all my messages/questions and was full of helpful suggestions for cool things to do in the area. Flexible and accommodating on check-in/check-out, in case you're traveling from out of town.

Her place itself was very nice. Great condition, has all the stuff you'd want in a one bedroom apartment for vacation. We only stayed for a day and a night, so we didn't spend much time there but it would have been very comfortable for a longer stay. If you're tall (6'3"" or more?) you might have a little trouble in the shower, but I'm 5'11"" and it didn't bother me any. 

I almost feel bad we didn't spend much time enjoying the apartment - having two balconies is pretty cool, would have been a nice spot to relax and hang out. Pool also looked nice, but didn't check it out. We went to Barton Springs instead! Also, her tip of checking out Radio nearby was great! Cool coffeeshop, good craft beer selections, food truck outside. Apparently they have live music regularly as well.

All in all, Jill was a great host and her place was very nice. Plus, at the rate she listed it, I consider it to be a great deal. I'd definitely stay here again."
5933708,32694575,2015-05-20,726524,Wendy,"Jill's place is a lovely place to stay while visiting Austin. It's as described and pictured: a cozy one bedroom with attractive furnishings. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare a simple meal. The building and apartment complex are a bit aged but overall well kept.
The neighborhood is safe and comfortable with easy access to several bus lines. I took advantage of the wonderful food co-op one block away for groceries and such. 
Although there were flood warnings during a large part of my visit, I took several quick dips in the pool. I imagine it's even more refreshing when it's hot and dry!"

We spend an evening at the balcony overlooking the pool, with the string if lights on the wall it was very nice and romantic :)  Everything as described. Comfortable bed, all nesesarry toiletries and kitchen equipment. The area around is very nice, walking distance to shops and restaurants. ( we even walked to a movie theater). And thou we were not so much impressed by Austin itself, but very pleased by our place to stay. My hub said should we ever had to come back, we would like to stay at the same apartment :)Thank you, Jill! "

We also loved using the pool! There was space in the fridge for our stuff, and the place was very clean. The only negative was the smell of cats that you get used to after you're inside for a while.

Her place is conveniently located right by a Target, she has two adorable balconies, and a lovely pool. Jill's place is also a very short ride from the airport and is a quick, inexpensive uber ride to almost anywhere you'd want to go to in Austin. We felt very safe, and at home during our stay. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here. It definitely added a lot to our awesome time in Austin. "

The owners live next door, which is nice because some of us were able to meet them. I was not personally able to meet the owners, but the others who stayed stated they were very welcoming and personable. It was a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. There was not a lot of car traffic/congestion around the area, which made us feel safer to play outside with the little ones. There was an elementary school right across the street. Also, there were restaurants and grocery stores conveniently located nearby.  I would highly recommend others to stay at their home!  :)"
4756166,32972699,2015-05-24,29295309,Teresa,"My family and I very much enjoyed staying at Laurie's cozy, South Austin cottage. The neighborhood was convenient to restaurants and major roads. Was great to have three bedrooms and two bathrooms to accommodate five adults easily. With mobility issues, it was very helpful to have a single level home with a ramp. You can tell that the home is older because the doors, particularly for the bathrooms, are narrow, but we managed.

Laurie was very prompt and courteous in responding and providing information. She made useful suggestions about places to dine and provided information about attractions in and around Austin. 

We had a great mini family reunion and that  was certainly enhanced by being able to stay together instead of in separate hotel rooms.

Thanks for sharing your charming home, Laurie!"
4756166,34620818,2015-06-10,20415069,Joy Elise,"This was our first Airbnb experience and it was exceptional! The toddler, 5 year old and 18 year old were all comfortable, which can sometimes be a challenge. The house is exactly as it is presented in the pictures; clean and simple. Everything provided worked perfectly; iron, blow dryer, etc and nice quality bath towels. 
The back patio is a nice place to relax in the evening.
Laurie & Rick live next door and are available as needed but we didn't suffocated in the least. The neighborhood is quiet with an elementary school directly across the street. School was out and the kids enjoyed the playground. 
They went out of their way to find a special teddy bear who was mistakenly left behind after our stay.
I would plan my next trip to Austin based on the availability of Laurie & Rick's place!"

4756166,51135186,2015-10-18,6263129,Cynthia,"Booked for family weekend at UT. It was a great alternative to paying for 3 hotel rooms and let us stay together as a family. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 80 and everyone was happy and comfortable. We had six adults in the 3 bedrooms and my UT daughter and her young cousins crashed in the living room. Laurie provides an air mattress but the kids brought their camp cots and sleeping bags and my daughter slept on the comfy couch. There is a Wii and lots of games they enjoyed playing with. 

The house is in a very quite neighborhood right across from a school. It was a short drive to hop on the Highway (1/MoPac) which took us to campus in about 10 minutes. Probably not so quick during the week but smooth sailing on the weekend. There is a nice HEB close by if you want  to buy groceries and lots of restaurants. We tried one of Laurie's recommendations, Galaxy Cafe, for breakfast on Sunday and loved it. 

The house itself is very well maintained and nicely decorated. Pretty much everything you could need is there from shampoo and a blow dryer to Trader Joe's coffee and WiFi. Laurie and Rick are right next door and happy to help if you need anything. Their ""cozy home"" made our family weekend extra special. We would definitely stay again. "

We were pretty worried we wouldn't be able to find a place at the last-minute but we really lucked out. Their spacious home is modern, clean, and decorated with lots of cool art -- including some from their budding artist children. I highly recommend staying at their home for any occasion. The SoCo location can't be beat in terms of food, shopping, and proximity to the Austin Convention Center. The only thing I would add is that if you're allergic to dogs, they do usually have one. The house is spotless and there's no odor though."

The kitchen is extremely well equipped with plenty of plates, glasses and cooking implements; like staying in a friend’s home.
  
Plenty of fluffy towels and a great laundry room facility.

The king size bed in the master bedroom was very, very comfortable.

The owner was easy to work with.
 
We highly recommend this home.

Located around 7 min to downtown, 3 min to UT AUSTIN, and 1 min to I-35. You can not beat that! The house it self has all the amenities needed and it is nicely decorated making you feel at home. Chris was able to answer all our questions in a matter of minutes. Two blocks apart you can find one of the best coffee shops in Austin.

The downside: extremely dirty. Seems that they never cleaned their apartment once.  Cannot walk barefoot or even with socks. Worst of all my sheets were not clean! That is completely unacceptable. No one wants to sleep in someone else's dirty bed and smell their body odor. Its disgusting.   I've been traveling the world for 3 years straight and have been using airbnb primarily and this is the dirtiest place i've ever stayed at.

6660551,38215429,2015-07-13,6250916,David,"Location, Location, Location.  You're basically staying with a grad student in her apartment.  The amenities are spartan but, you are next to a golf course and many bars and restaurants in the area.  A good one is the Hula Hut, which is a river front restaurant/bar with outdoor seating where you can see the beauties of Austin.  I liked the location so much, I booked for another week."
6660551,39098375,2015-07-20,6250916,David,"Again, so relaxing and convenient that I renewed for a week."
6660551,39579271,2015-07-24,35088834,Glenda,"I was only in Austin overnight and left very early next morning.  Not much time to make evaluation.  Alice was accommodation and quick to TextMessage response to question.  House was reasonably clean, but was cluttered and AC was not working well.  Alice is a very interesting lady and  I enjoyed our short visit.  "
6660551,40411387,2015-07-30,21897153,Lisa,"The location of the apartment was perfect for me since I wanted to be close to the heart of Austin. It's literally less than a 10 minute drive to downtown (with traffic) and 2 minute drive to the bridge to Zilker Park (best park ever!!!). I had such a pleasant experience staying here and Alice was SO very nice and laid back and helped accommodate me even though I arrived past midnight (i can't believe she stayed up for me!). She told me the neighborhood was mostly families and graduate students so that was why it was so quiet and peaceful. The room itself was exactly as described, plus complementary water for the hot summer! Totally going to stay here again next time I visit. :D"
6660551,42155270,2015-08-11,36800147,Christopher,Alice was very nice and accomodating. She was gone most of the time and her apartment is in a great location. Thank you!
6660551,42802620,2015-08-15,41326795,Michael,Alice is a wonderful host and really made me feel comfortable and welcomed. This was my first time using Airbnb so I was a little nervous at first but I couldn't have picked a better host for my first time. She's located near a beautiful body of water and only minutes away from downtown attractions. 
6660551,43865589,2015-08-22,23129953,Hiva,Alice was a really nice and hospitable host. We started communicating well before I arrive and she made me feel home once I got there. Her place is really cute and clean. I'll definitely go to her place again the next time I'm in Austin.
6660551,44386724,2015-08-25,21370488,Nicole,"Alice is such a sweetie. Her apartment was clean, cozy, and comfortable. The neighborhood was pretty nice as well. The room did get a bit hot as she stated but if you keep the door open and the fan on, it's not bad at all. Highly recommend staying there."
6660551,45434657,2015-09-02,41678629,Ashley,"Awesome location! Room is definitely hot! To keep cool, leave the fan on and the door open."
6660551,47169733,2015-09-16,701526,Peter,"Alice is polite and welcoming.
The accommodation was as advertised.
I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again.
Thank you Alice
"
6660551,48220862,2015-09-24,22347547,Larry,"Alice was a nice and gracious host, and her place was cozy, although the bedroom was a little hot.  Great location though, and I would recommend it if you don't mind very basic accommodations."
6660551,49794992,2015-10-06,6790623,Remy,"Alice fue siempre muy amable y me dio toda la información que necesitaba para conocer la ciudad en los días que me quedé con ella, fue muy hospitalaria y es una linda persona. El lugar es súper cómodo y ella lo hace más agradable"
6660551,50636367,2015-10-13,16139418,Daniel,"Alice was very accommodating and had lots of communication before I arrived. I was there for 4 days for ACL which is a 2 mile walk. So if you walk a lot it's not too shabby. Alice was out a lot so not much interaction with her but she was very nice. Thanks for giving me a place to crash. 

Also this is University type apartments for grad students and what looks like small families (teachers?). Very quiet neighborhood with kids running around playing during the day."
6660551,51314394,2015-10-19,44132038,Patrick,"I selected this place because my friend was only few minutes away from this place. I expected myself to be outside most of time so I wasn't looking for 5 star quality service. This place met the expectation in terms of my base needs such as bed, shower, Wi-Fi, air conditioned environment, etc. I only got a chance to Alice once but she was a nice person. However the room was noticeably dusty. I had to vacuum the room on my own and the fan was so dusty I didn't dare to touch it. I'm not sure if she forgot to clean but it could've been so much better if the room was clean. If you need a place where accessibility to other places is crucial but at affordable price, this place fit your bill perfectly. Just make sure the room is clean before you come. "
7922035,49789828,2015-10-06,1746464,Roy,Faryn was the most excellent host. Check-in was a breeze as she was flexible with our arrival time. Top notch communication as she always kept in touch when we needed her. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Walking distance to anything and everything we needed including all the great restaurants nearby. We had a fun weekend for ACL but staying at Faryn's place made it even that much better.
7922035,50644843,2015-10-13,535123,Sarah,"Faryn was an amazing host, very flexible with check in and check out times. She checked in with us to make sure everything was okay during our stay, but not over bearing at all. It was perfect for ACL."
2210823,10110327,2014-01-31,2972316,Rich,"This is a very pleasant house. Abby and her friends were just terrific. Nice size room with very comfortable bed. Bathroom is great, roomy with newer fixtures throughout--not like a lot of the ""charming"" places where the water runs at a trickle. The house is very clean and well kept. Super location to get to anywhere in Austin. Minutes from UT. Great stay. "
2210823,11022631,2014-03-17,12576854,Daniella,"I LOVED staying with Abby. The house was even cuter than I expected and she was so helpful with anything I needed during SXSW. The neighborhood is quiet, and there are a couple bus stops within a mile. It's about a 15 minute drive or 40 minute bus ride to downtown. The two adorable dogs and awesome roommate don't hurt, either. "
2210823,22325895,2014-11-03,9634630,Jason,"Abby's home was spot on folks...super clean and spacious.  Great quiet neighborhood in North Austin, with close and easy access to the highway to head downtown.  Her dog was super cute and friendly and let me enjoy a yummy breakfast taco from a great nearby Mexican bakery with a smile.  Great communication and she was awesome in accommodating me with a late evening check in, especially after a long day's drive thru the great State of Texas.  If you need a nice place to stay while visiting Austin....look no further.  "
2210823,32715910,2015-05-20,9624653,Mary,"I had a great time in Abby's (website hidden)'s a very clean , airy house  with a massive tree filled yard . The house is very close to public transport , shops and the cinema .
    Abby and Alex were great hosts and super helpful . Highly recommended "
2210823,40050533,2015-07-27,38556804,Steve,Everything was great
2210823,41048930,2015-08-03,22359032,Col,Abby and her dog Kylie are great hosts with a very well decorated home and good restaurant recommendations. I would definitely stay again.
2210823,49717166,2015-10-05,413375,Ben,"Abby is a great host; everything was clean, chill, and comfortable. Abby & Alex: Thanks for inviting me to dinner and introducing me to your friends."
2210823,50420368,2015-10-11,1529433,Syed,I missed my flight and had to rush last minute to find a host. Abby was quick to respond and let me stay at her place immediately.  I also checked out a pizza place with her. This was a good experience!!
2210823,52019887,2015-10-25,46249402,Rick,"Abby responded to me almost immediately. She made arrival easy and the room was clean and exactly as advertised. Cute, friendly little dog added to the ""at home"" feeling. Location is great - very close to US 183."
1021139,4277120,2013-04-23,154442,Jed,"Really great place to stay in Austin. Steve was a marvelous host--communicative, attentive and friendly. The cottage is just as it appears in the photos--beautifully designed, spacious and very relaxing. I'd never slept on a murphy bed before, but it was as comfortable as any other bed! Also, very close to UT and tons of tasty restaurants. I would definitely recommend this place if you're visiting Austin!"
1021139,4351893,2013-04-29,5643137,Roman,"Steve's family backyard cottage is ONLY the coolest place in Austin to stay. If you're waffling looking at other places, forget about it and pick Steve's killer secluded space complete with hammock, soft, thick towels, bathmats, area rugs, desk area, windows offering plenty of light but shades for privacy. . cool orange tabby cats keeping lazy watch over the place,  not to mention Steve and his family are very welcoming and the cottage itself made me say ""I want a place like this when I'm a grown-up!"" Thanks Steve, et al!"
1021139,4539940,2013-05-11,928001,Keith,"Steve's place is an oasis in the city. Close to everything, relaxing atmosphere and Steve is the nicest guy you will ever meet!"
1021139,4619509,2013-05-15,5279553,Nikki,"Steve's backyard cottage is such an incredibly cool place to stay in Austin and was exactly what I was looking for!  It was absolutely private and peaceful!  I had been in Austin for a while and was looking for some relaxation, which is exactly what I found.  After going downtown for lunch and spending the day in the Austin sun, I couldn't wait to get back to the cottage to chill out where it was airy, cool and so comfortable!  Steve was so respectful of my privacy and space.  It was so clean and I loved the style: polished concrete floors, beautiful wooden shelving all around the studio (which was great for organizing my belongings that had been stuffed in a suitcase for far loo long), and the huge rustic door that separates the bath from the rest of the cottage.  There are large windows all around and I could control my privacy by pulling the shades when I wanted.  The huge metal table in the kitchen was a perfect place for me to work at my computer and to sit and draw.  The small ledge out the back door was a perfect place for me to enjoy my morning coffee: nice and shaded.  Steve was such a great host who left yogurt, granola and orange juice for my refreshment, so nice!  The photos don't do it justice, it is a great place to stay for 1-2 people.  When I come back through Austin, I will be looking to see if the cottage is available because I enjoyed my stay so much.  "
1021139,4668497,2013-05-19,116732,Kelsa,"What an excellent place to stay! Steve has a very cool space complete with more shelving than any guest could every know what to do with, a hammock, a/c and snacks. Not only is this cottage everything you'd need for a visit to Austin (clean, comfortable, private, close to good food), it's also very nicely put together, so both the discerning and the indulgent will be pleased. I only wish I could transport the cottage to my home and live in it forever. 

Also Steve is very gracious and accommodating, accessible by phone, friendly and cool. This trip to Austin has had an evolving and spontaneous itinerary so there was talk of extending the stay, staying with neighbors, holding onto my luggage in Steve's home while I went to a wedding - none of which ended up happening, but Steve made every hospitable effort possible."
1021139,4694769,2013-05-20,6383894,Kristin,"We had such a great first airbnb experience staying at Steve's cottage!  Great host, sweet family & the perfect space for a quick getaway with my family.  Left us snacks and even brought over kid friendly cups for us.  We will be back!"
1021139,4718117,2013-05-21,6312771,Eana,"Steve's cottage was a very nice play to stay. We really appreciated the great list of recommendations for food and drink that he provided! It was very easy to coordinate with Steve for check-in and departure. Also, he provided complimentary coffee and other light snacks, which was unexpected and very welcoming. Also, very cute cats! "
1021139,4796900,2013-05-26,6507222,Cordon,"Steve's place was great.  Very well done, aesthetically pleasing, easy walk to the University and or Downtown if you are a walker.  I did call a cab one day, it was there in ten minutes.  Steve himself a very nice guy, he left a paper with a list of recommended stores and restaurants.  I checked out El Chile and Thunderbird Coffee, both were great!  One day it rained heavily and Steve brought me an umbrella which was really a lifesaver. If you're headed to Austin, you should stay at Steve's, if you are not headed to Austin, you should really think about it, amazing food, cheap drinks, really friendly people.  It is a little hard for me to say this though, because I intend to come back and I hope Steve's place is not booked all the time!"
1021139,4943004,2013-06-03,1251410,Ashley & Jake,Steve has an amazing place in a very quaint part of town close to may great dinning options and shops. The cottage is very spacious and Steve does his best to make you feel at home. I highly recommend this place if you want to live like a local in an amazing city.
1021139,4976759,2013-06-04,2384945,Christopher,"Steve and his wife did everything they possibly could to make our visit worthwhile. A truly good night's sleep. Wonderful living space. Pictures do not do the design and layout justice. 

If it isn't booked, our next visit to Austin will be anchored right there. "
1021139,5016721,2013-06-07,3719807,Sara,Loved this little guest house. Slick stylish details and an incredibly sweet family. 
1021139,5031132,2013-06-08,4636178,Emily,"The backyard cottage was absolutely perfect:  beautiful, comfortable, bright, airy, and a great location in Austin.  Steve was very accommodating with check in and out times, which was much appreciated!  Overall, it was an awesome airbnb experience."
1021139,5047038,2013-06-09,6789475,Derek,"This cottage was excellent! We booked it the same day and Steve really worked with us on check-in and out times. It's a great location, surrounded by excellent places to eat and sip coffee. We rented bikes down the street and explored Austin on two wheels! For our first Airbnb experience, we were blown away! Steven even left us yogurt, granola and coffee! The towels were plush, and the bathroom was complete with everything we needed. The space was rustic, clean; manly yet soft. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!"
1021139,5095485,2013-06-11,739918,Ceren,"This space is great and conveniently located.  It takes 5 minutes to get downtown, cheap cab ride and easy driving route.  We liked the cottage because it was big, super clean and the separate guest house provided plenty of privacy.  The nearby coffee houses and lunch spots had the best food we ate in Austin.  Steve was so nice, he mailed me my glasses that I forgot on the counter.  Highly recommend! "
1021139,5124760,2013-06-13,6202371,Erik,Exellent location and space.  I love the Cherrywood area. Steve was communicative and helpful on short notice. This will be the first place I look for when I am in Austin again.
1021139,5155122,2013-06-15,5179979,Tiona,"I had such a great experience! My plans were not concrete on when I would be checking in and out, Steve was very flexible with me.  The place was such a great and calm get away. Everytime I came back to the room, I left rested and felt refreshed. There were little suprises everywhere like bananas,oatmeal, bug spray, dishes to use so you dont have to eat out all the time. I would stay here again anytime."
1021139,5223700,2013-06-18,6932661,Joshua,"We stayed one night in Steve's cottage when we visited Austin. It was very clean, private and cool. Many amenities were provided (toiletries, pecans and bananas) and Steve gave great recommendations for places to eat nearby. We walked to Cherrywood Cafe for dinner- only 3 blocks away. 

Steve was a wonderful host, accommodating our last minute travel plans and was very responsive. It was a great experience and I would absolutely recommend the cottage to a friend."
1021139,5286149,2013-06-22,6949655,Julia,"This was my first time visiting Austin, and I knew that I wanted a unique experience, and I found the right place to stay! Steve and his family were very gracious in opening their guest house and recommended some great places to visit while exploring the city. The Backyard Cottage is in a safe, and quiet neighborhood, and is easily accessible to downtown. The cottage is  beautiful with a spacious living area and a very comfortable bed. I look forward to renting from Steve again. "
1021139,5334645,2013-06-24,7008632,Nenna,"Thanks for the hospitality, Steve!  I stayed one night with my boyfriend and it was wonderful. Well-furnished casita at the back of the main house with plenty of privacy.  Loved the interior - exactly as it looks in the photos. Steve & co did a great job furnishing the place and, as many other reviewers mentioned, he left a current newspaper & list of nearby restaurants/coffeehouses/etc.  (Thunderbird Cafe was excellent :)  Would definitely stay again."
1021139,5354994,2013-06-25,2384945,Christopher,Even better the second time around!
1021139,5390721,2013-06-27,7094665,Sarah,"Steve's backyard cottage was perfect for my quick overnight trip to Austin. I booked the night before with no problems and check-in/out times were flexible. Steve, and his adorable sons, were all very friendly and welcoming. The cottage was stocked with all sorts of helpful items and goodies, including toiletries and snacks. Overall a awesome and comfortable place to stay!"
1021139,5426410,2013-06-29,7115861,Ryan,"GREAT little cottage!  Very modern, clean with very modern interior touches.  Better than a hotel.  The backyard is very quiet and peaceful.  A great experience and I would highly recomend this location."
1021139,7524441,2013-09-23,548354,Greg & Sandra,Our stay at the Back Yard Cottage was wonderful!  Nice clean cozy place. We loved it. Steve is a super nice guy and was eager to help us with anything we needed.  Thanks Steve for making a stay in Austin  a great one!
1021139,7594557,2013-09-25,3077636,Pascale & Joe,Steve was a great host. The place was very clean and cozy. Really nice neighborhood with awsome restaurants. His recommandations (cheat sheet) was great to discover Austin. 
1021139,7697890,2013-09-30,552590,Alyssa,"We had a wonderful stay at Steve's.  He was a great host who gave us tips on local attractions/things to do.  Cottage was clean and comfortable, and he even added some kids books for our little guy.  Very thoughtful and appreciated!  We would definitely stay again."
1021139,7957279,2013-10-09,3373647,Juan,"The primary reason I chose to stay here was to have a study environment with no distractions and for convenience in visiting UT Austin.  The backyard cottage was perfect for me, and Steve is a nice guy and great host.  I would stay again."
1021139,8248234,2013-10-22,1757286,Denise,"Our 11 day first! excursion to Austin and first! time using Air B&B was beautifully hosted by Steve and family. We felt pleased from the moment we landed and right up until the last day about having chosen this option. The place is a unique, multifunctional and private little hideaway. Quite close to the University (we learned after a few days how to walk there) and a handful of great coffee shops and lovely restaurants. We would highly recommend staying here. Thanks for a lovely time!"
1021139,8335564,2013-10-26,6242666,Michael,"It was our first trip to Austin, and we had a wonderful time. 
Steve was an excellent host, not only offering restaurant advice, but also generously providing all that we needed during our stay. The room is in a cottage in his backyard, and has a nice homey feel to it. I should note that I was concerned about sleeping on the murphy bed for the first time, but it turned out to be just as comfortable as a normal bed, so no complaints there. All in all, a great stay. Next time you travel to Austin, stay here.  "
1021139,8361568,2013-10-27,2801265,Matthew,The Backyard Cottage was great! Steve was also terrific and made my first airbnb experience a great one. He responded to my e-mails very quickly. Thanks Steve!
1021139,8373041,2013-10-28,3962925,Justin,"Very cool spot in a great area.  All the space my gal and I needed.  We brought the dogs up for the Pittie Pride Parade and Steve was able to accommodate all of us.
We will recommend and look for availability at the cottage next time were in ATX.
Thanks Steve"
1021139,8571797,2013-11-05,3847176,Jonathan,"I really enjoyed the cottage.  Very clean, nice and comfortable.  There is a frig, coffee, wine, fruit, yogurt, snack and OJ.  The cottage has AC and heat so keep the stay comfortable. Enjoyed my interaction with Steve and his family.  They are welcoming hosts. Very welcoming and made my stay extra special.  Thanks so much!"
1021139,8595240,2013-11-06,9761781,Caroline,"Steve, and Steve's cottage, were absolutely awesome for my first Aibnb experience! The cottage had everything we needed, and more, for 2 evenings in Austin...a comfortable bed, kitchen area - complete with a delicious yogurt selection, juice, wine, coffee, etc. - and a cute bathroom area with excellent water pressure. The cottage was quiet and surprisingly secluded in his backyard, and had a ton of natural sunlight (don't worry, there were plenty of blinds). Not only did the cottage rock, but so did Steve! He gave us great dining recommendations in the neighborhood, and directions to the closest laundromat. All in all, phenomenal place to stay! Great location, too. Cheers!"
1021139,8763470,2013-11-16,1588551,Andy,A cute spot with a good amount of privacy. Steve made it nice with the addition of coffee/tea plus yogurt and granola for the morning.
1021139,8773783,2013-11-17,4907835,Dave,Steve was really nice and made the experience very easy. The cottage is also very comfortable and feels quiet and secluded. It's about a $10-$12 cab ride to downtown so it's outside of downtown without being too far. I'd definitely stay again.
1021139,8783529,2013-11-18,8165961,Monty,"Well maintained…Great location  
Steve was easy to work with and we enjoyed our stay in his cottage.  We will stay here again.

Steve was very cordial and quick to respond to my messages. i arrived later than expected, but Steve was very flexible about check-in and check-out arrangements. it was raining when i arrived, and he was even so kind as to make sure i knew the location of the umbrella that he'd placed in the cottage for me. an all-around great experience."
1021139,8963305,2013-11-28,4910979,Caroline,"Steve's place was awesome. My girlfriend's flight was delayed overnight and we weren't able to stay the night, but had a good place to shower and crash for awhile. The place cozy and had anything and everything we could've wanted! The location was awesome and Steve was easy and accommodating. Only disappointment was that we couldn't stay longer! Thanks Steve!"
1021139,8988412,2013-11-30,10194379,Dominic,"Had a great stay here. Steve was a fantastic host, made sure I was comfortable and had anything j may need. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, and would stay again. "
1021139,9007748,2013-12-01,10134766,Jonathan & Sherry,"This being our first Airbnb experience, my wife and I were excited and unsure of what to expect. Having a dog, we were specifically looking for an accommodating listing and fell upon Steve's backyard cottage. After reading highly positive reviews we decided to book the cottage and made our way to Austin. 

Steve was a phenomenal host, honestly, amazing. The cottage exceeded our needs and expectations. Quiet and comfortable while being a stones throw from everything we wanted to do. Awesome eateries, dog parks, art sections of Austin, you name it. Steve was a pleasure to interact with and always communicated quickly and professionally. 

The neighborhood setting was friendly and quite. Easy access through the backyard without being intrusive, gave us the ability to come and go as we pleased. Steve stocked us up on breakfast goodies, juice and wine. Good for a quick grab-and-go when you're headed out to explore Austin. We highly recommend brunch at the Cherrywood coffee house, about a 5 minute walk from Steve's property.

This experience was so amazing that we have already planned future visits to Steve's cottage. See you soon!"
1021139,9067986,2013-12-04,3158265,Jenna Marie,We came to austin to elope and Steve's cottage was a perfect getaway. Seriously calm and comfortable and he and his family could not have been kinder or more welcoming. Absolutely would return. Thank you Steve! 
1021139,9198854,2013-12-12,8338390,Jordan,"Steve's place provided us a relaxing place to work and to enjoy Austin, with easy access to downtown and 6th Street / South Congress area. It is a very clean and modern private house--easy place to write or work or just relax. He provided a list of wonderful restaurants and shops in the neighborhood, all within walking distance, as well as a refrigerator and cupboard stocked with local snacks. Definitely a place we'll stay next time we are in Austin."
1021139,9856100,2014-01-14,9057333,Caleb,"Steve was a great and very considerate host.  He provided flexible check in and check out times and lots of snacks.  The cottage is conveniently located near everything we wanted to do in Austin, so it worked out perfectly."
1021139,9920419,2014-01-19,3174999,Jeanette,Steve is one of the nicest people you will ever meet and his place is amazing. The guest house is well designed and beautiful and had it's own little backyard so my dogs could have some outside off leash time. It's the kind of place I would love to live - it was that beautiful and Steve is an extremely gracious host. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone.
1021139,9969499,2014-01-21,11393588,Jonathan,"Steve's place was our first Air BnB experience, and things couldn't have played out smoother. He couldn't be nicer or more hospitable. Definitely better than a hotel! "
1021139,10025322,2014-01-26,11232979,Julija,"I had a terrible start to my travel plans (phone stolen) and Steve was able to accommodate in every way possible. The place was clean, nicely furnished and not to forget about the awesome breakfast snacks and drinks! Steve was always there ready to help and is just an incredible host. I had a fantastic stay, felt safe and loved how close all of the restaurants were (10-15 minute walking).  "
1021139,10040261,2014-01-27,1837481,Audrey,"Very quiet and cosy, clean and well-equiped in a very nice neighborhood. Steve was quick to great us once we arrived and gave us good insight on places to go in the area. Will definitely stay again when we come back to Austin."
1021139,10143025,2014-02-02,8853442,Chase,"Steve was a great host- very friendly and helpful.  The pictures don't even do this place justice.  Very cool modern little cottage with some vintage touches.  

We stayed on our cross country drive to the west coast with our pups.  Will definitely stay again if back in Austin!"
1021139,10154443,2014-02-03,1697803,Jonathan,"My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Steve's cottage, although it was a short stay.  Steve was very helpful, and had a list of area restaurants to choose from for our evening meal. Thanks Steve! "
1021139,10225317,2014-02-07,6170879,Jason,Steve's place is a great private enclave with immediate access to downtown (w/out DT rents.) 
1021139,10269340,2014-02-10,11366712,Monica,We had a wonderful first experience with airbnb! Steve was a great host very caring and flexible in scheduling. The cottage was very comfortable to stay in. The place was well equipped with everything we could possibly need as well as tasty granola for our morning yogurt breakfast. Would definitely stay here again if given the chance!
1021139,10351218,2014-02-15,11657729,Annabel,"A truly gorgeous little cottage! I had plenty of space and the layout of the room was ideal for working. I didn't manage to see Steve because I ended up being far busier than planned, but he was available whenever I needed him and he had provided everything I needed. I would definitely stay again!"
1021139,10365245,2014-02-16,4534465,Joe,"Steve's place is charming, quiet, cleverly laid out , and nicely appointed.  There is a generous amount of room for a couple inside and really nice sitting areas outside.  You're near everything in east Austin and downtown.  But you have this serene back yard oasis to retire to."
1021139,10448428,2014-02-19,1121182,Marssie,"Steve was a wonderful host! The studio was clean, comfortable and designed with much attention to detail. We rented bikes and enjoyed the neighborhood and exploring The surrounding areas as well. 
"
1021139,10469466,2014-02-20,10639810,Henry,"Austin was amazing. Steve was an excellent host. His backyard home is perfect and it was 10$ cab ride to 6th street. There was food and beverages in the fridge, they even had ground coffee and brewer. Very cool place. "
1021139,10507514,2014-02-22,2607420,Jeremy,What an amazing place! Conveniently close to downtown and yet perfectly serene and away from the traffic. Steve was a gracious host. The place was so great to stay at. 
1021139,10571044,2014-02-25,10506666,Greg,"Steve was very hospitable.  Made us feel right at home.  The house is in a great location, and you feel like you've got your own little place in Austin for the weekend.  Highly recommended!"
1021139,10661154,2014-03-02,6801527,Kristen,"This was a great place to stay.  We found the guest house very clean, quiet, private.  Very thoughtful hosts- there was nothing that was lacking.  The house is beautiful, and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance."
1021139,10804587,2014-03-08,770991,Christina,"The stay at Steve's was great! The cottage is a great size, clean, and comfortable. Check-in was a breeze and Steve was extremely responsive and accommodating for my late arrival. A nice perk was Steve's local recommendations which lead me to some great eats and neighborhood hang outs. The bed seems like its placed oddly (in front of the door), but it sure was comfy - wish I could have stayed here for the entire of my trip!"
1021139,10833512,2014-03-10,5906835,Marie-Claude,"Lovely, quiet neighborhood.  Easy to walk to great cafés, restaurants and bars.  Even downtown is easy to access by bus.  The cottage is lovely, no frills, but with everything you need.  Steve is such a kind host.  When we arrived, the cottage had fruits, neat foodstuff, some beer and a very good bottle of red!   Steve is very discret, but present if you need anything.  He is charming and helpful.  Would definitely go back if visiting Austin.   Beware of rarity of cabs during SXSW! 
Must try: Salty Sow!"
1021139,10884956,2014-03-11,12241384,Martin,"This place is simply adorable.  It is worth the money.  The place is warm and inviting and Steve was a gracious host.  He was quite attentive and made sure I was aware of when the place would be ready for me.   It is extremely quiet and if you're renting a car, it is a quick drive to the downtown area.  I highly recommend Steve's place.   I came back really late and I found a surprise at my door.  The left me some freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.  Now that is southern hospitality at its finest!"
1021139,10917760,2014-03-13,10259069,Tom,"We had a great stay at Steve's backyard cottage at the beginning of the music section of SXSW this year. We had a very warm welcome from Steve, and he gave us lots of useful information about places to go locally, and transport in the area. The cottage was well-equipped and comfortable and a good place for exploring the neighbourhood. Steve was also very helpful when we had difficulties with transport."
1021139,10954613,2014-03-15,2548849,Joe,"Steve goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are comfortable and informed, couldn't have asked for a more comfortable stay in Austin. 10 minutes from downtown and close to all the action on the East side. The cottage was clean, cozy, private and came with many unexpected amenities you would never find at a hotel. Appreciated Steve's local recommendations - Highly recommended for SXSW, ACL or any occasion."
1021139,11109605,2014-03-21,1272751,Ian,"A wonderful place to stay in Austin. Steve is a fantastic host who was prompt with his responses and gave excellent suggestions. The cottage is in a lovely, mellow neighborhood with plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes within walking distance. Other great areas of the city are easily accessible on foot, bike, or car. I was in town for work (on the UT campus) and vacation and found this location to be ideal. Highest recommendation!"
1021139,11156533,2014-03-23,6187545,Vallier,"Steve is great host!
He is welcoming, goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable, and he communicates well with his guests before and during the stay.

His backyard cottage is adorable.  It is clean, well appointed, and has a clever use of space.  We didn't have much time to make use of the backyard, but it's inviting and he's in a great part of town.  The coffee shop down the street has the best breakfast tacos in Austin.

We'll be coming back."
1021139,11319580,2014-03-30,6321800,David,"This cottage was exactly what we needed in Austin. The space itself is cozy and comfortable with plenty of natural light. The Murphy bed was fun just because we've never gotten to experience one of those, and there were more drawers and cabinet spaces than we knew what to do with. The location of the cottage relative to Austin was perfect. There was a great coffeehouse/cafe down the street with incredible breakfast tacos, and when we hopped in the car, it never seemed like we had to drive far to get where we wanted to go. Steve was incredibly kind and thoughtful and checked in with us several times throughout the stay, but other than that we kept to ourselves. His suggestions on places to go and things to eat were spot on. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
1021139,11381272,2014-03-31,2857569,Heather,"Beautifully designed space that is perfect for 1-2 people. Had everything I needed - even some complimentary coffee, granola, etc. There was wifi, a sink, mini fridge, air/heat, and even though the bathroom looked small - the shower was wonderful and spacious.

Easy access (through rolling gate in the drive), private (it's in the back of their back yard), and with comfortable bedding and natural light (bring a night mask if you like a dark morning!).

Steve even left a list of local places to eat, etc. and the area is easily bike-able."
1021139,11462176,2014-04-03,13712428,Chase,This place was great. It was exactly what we needed. 
1021139,11485651,2014-04-05,9061972,Anna,"We really loved this backyard cottage. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well put together. Steve is such a thoughtful person!  He is the perfect balance of the host who gives us our space and yet takes good care of you. Highly recommend!"
1021139,11526950,2014-04-06,3414843,Kevin,Steve's place is as described! There is a bus stop near Cherrywood Coffehouse that we used to go to 6th street.  The Coffeehouse has a phenomenal happy hour and delicious food.  I will definitely be staying with Steve again in the near future. 
1021139,11588400,2014-04-08,12671432,Juan,"Beautiful small place!!
That small house at the back at their garden is simply beautiful!!
It has basically everything you need, even if you want to cook something.
Pretty clean, tidy and well decorated.
Steve makes also things quite easy for your stay. They provide you with a key, super helpful and reachable.
The house is also fairly good located. A few supermarkets pretty close and downtown just a few miles away.

I would definitely be back to this place!"
1021139,11795932,2014-04-15,8038694,Mary,"Steve & family are wonderful, the cottage was clean and very comfortable. Also they left me four of the tastiest chocolate cookies, yogurt and wonderful snacks.  The internet works great and the random postcards in the room let you look at the world through the owners eyes.  I will be back.

 "
1021139,11924976,2014-04-19,5487609,Meg,"This was a very sweet home away from home. I felt comfortable and at ease here. The little backyard cottage was surprisingly roomy. There were fresh, home-baked cookies and a bottle of wine to welcome me. Steve, the host, was friendly and helpful. I would stay again in a heart beat."
1021139,12079881,2014-04-22,13678525,Sally,Wonderful! 
1021139,12183937,2014-04-25,5295102,Mandy,"Steve's place was great! I used to live in Austin, and it was right in my old neighborhood. Unfortunately, our visit was super short, so we never got to meet, but the place was perfect. We slept with the windows open all night, and I woke up to the smell of honeysuckle!! AMAZING!
 Highly recommended, super cute, really clean, and lots of privacy. Perfect if you're alone or a couple!"
1021139,12230635,2014-04-26,5990678,Bobby & Bailey,"We had a fabulous stay with Steve, his backyard cottage is secluded, clean, and spacious. Steve had all of the essentials and then some. We will definitely stay with Steve when we visit Austin again and have already recommended his place to some of our friends and family looking to check out Austin."
1021139,12334288,2014-04-29,634568,Maria And Philippe,"Our stay, although short, was quite memorable. The house is centrally located to downtown Austin. The house as well as the neighborhood is beautiful. Steve was a fantastic host! "
1021139,12486599,2014-05-04,6866385,Dennis,"Clean, convenient and fun place in a cool Austin neighborhood with coffee and a laundry just a block away. Steve was incredibly helpful and gracefully accommodated modifications to my arrival and departure. And there were fantastic homemade cookies waiting for me on my arrival. Will definitely stay again."
1021139,12601044,2014-05-05,2194723,Ian,"Steve's hideaway is a beautifully curated corner of Austin. He's put a lot of heart (and little touches) into his backyard cottage. Even if his kids aren't running a lemonade stand, you're bound to enjoy your stay. "
1021139,12657060,2014-05-07,545023,Tory,We had an amazing time in Austin! Steve was the most lovely host you could ask for. Very attentive and helpful when we asked for suggestions of things to do in the area. Thank you for everything!
1021139,12748051,2014-05-10,121548,Lee,"I enjoyed staying in Steve's backyard cottage.  It was clean and quiet, with a nice coffeehouse and a convenience market a couple blocks away.  There were some nice touches in  his cottage:  a bottle of wine, travel information about Austin, some interesting items on the shelves, and a blackboard full of creative drawings and comments by previous guests."
1021139,12836758,2014-05-12,2315974,Laura,"let me just say that this is my first experience with airbnb. I went into it little skeptical of the location thinking that it would too far from the attractions we were trying to get to.  the location was perfect! It took us 6 to 10 minutes to get anywhere that we were trying to go and the neighborhood was beautiful. It was filled with wonderful eateries within walking distance. Our favorite was cherry wood coffee house. We got to know a new part of Austin and we fell in love. the space itself was a nice distance from the main house and it's very private. The place is immaculate, bright, and cheery.  Thanks Steve!"
1021139,12934368,2014-05-14,3696319,Jennifer,"I can't say enough good things about this cottage and our lovely host, Steve! We got in late and Steve set everything up for our arrival. When we got in we found a bottle of red wine and the cleanest, most well appointed accommodations! The space is very well designed and immaculate. Steve very kindly left us a selection of breakfast and snack items too! The house is a convenient location for the downtown area and other spots in East Austin. Highly, highly recommend! "
1021139,13013523,2014-05-17,5025511,Lisa,"Pictures are exactly what is shown on the website. The cottage was a cute modern place and very clean! The place was stocked with snacks, coffee, and more. Thank you for a great experience, Steve."
1021139,13087155,2014-05-19,14343209,Alison,"Great bargain! Great location! Delicous cookies! Hammock included!

This is a great place to stay. The neighborhood is lovely. It's within walking distance to a coffeehouse and bus station; plus most attactions are just a short drive.

The room is very cozy, clean, and private.

I definitely plan to stay here for future Austin visits! "
1021139,13227621,2014-05-22,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"Steve was a friendly and gracious host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable stay. The space was perfect -- well appointed, comfortable, and private. Coffee and light breakfast options were left for us, and Steve even baked us some delicious cookies and left us a bottle of wine. We had a great time at the backyard cottage and would gladly stay again the next time we're in Austin."
1021139,13263002,2014-05-23,9079602,Adam,Steve was an excellent host and his backyard guesthouse was amazing! We had an excellent time in Austin and steve recommended some great places in the area to eat and drink. Everything in the house was clean and comfortable. Thanks!
1021139,13471709,2014-05-28,6202590,Tyler,"Great host! Super friendly and accommodating. The cottage was clean and well-stocked, with lots of classy, stylish accents. The neighborhood can't be beat for walk-ability, and parking is plentiful and convenient. I'd definitely stay here again! "
1021139,13557430,2014-05-30,16056057,Kelsey,"Steve was so nice and the place was amazing! Hidden away in a backyard heaven, I would stay at this cottage again and again! Looking forward to next time!! THANKS STEVE! "
1021139,13801766,2014-06-04,15921901,Sarah,Such a great place!!!!  So close to everything!!  Perfect space!!!   Better than a hotel!!  Yummiest cookies ever were waiting for us upon arrival!!!    
1021139,13856766,2014-06-06,7634666,Joshua,"My husband and I are experienced travelers of air B&B, and this room, we agreed, was by far among the best. Our stay in Steve's backyard cottage was everything that we could've hoped for. While it felt kind of strange at first to walk through someone's backyard, the tiny one room house was adorable. The first thing we noticed was fresh baked cookies and bananas ready for us on the counter. There was also a unopened bottle of wine and  two clean wine glasses on the counter. In the fridge in the morning we found breakfast, a really nice brand of yogurt with granola. The entire place was cleaning, tidy, hip, and looked like something straight out of a crate and barrel magazine. There was a mini fridge, and ironing board and iron, a kitchen sink, several dishes, bug spray, A coffeemaker, coffee, a table to do work, recommendations for nearby restaurants and places of interest, more than two towels per person, a nice reading lamp by the bedside, and pretty much everything else that you could think of that you might need. The whole place was very private. And even though the whole place is one room, two people could find privacy to get dressed behind a large wall that divides the bed area from the rest of the place. On our way out, we met Steve. Steve himself was really nice, and according to my Texan husband, seemed to be a ""true austenite.""   :D"
1021139,14915264,2014-06-29,13961708,Jonathan,"Our entire experience was fantastic. This cottage is convenient, clean, and secluded. 

To start off, our flight was first cancelled and then delayed, and Steve was very flexible with the check-in time.

The location is perfect for most tourist things in Austin. We spent one day walking around the capitol area (less than 10 minute drive). Another day we walked around the UT campus (less than 5 minute drive). We went down to the Butler Trails around Lady Bird Lake multiple times (5-10 minutes away depending on where you park), and of course we spent time at Barton Springs and Zilker (10 minute drive).

The room was clean and Steve even stocked it with a few comfort items for us to use. The room is small but the murphy bed makes smart use of the space. All of the cabinets look gorgeous. There is a mini-fridge, microwave, and farm sink. Just be aware that there is not a full kitchen so plan accordingly. We ate yogurt and berries with granola every morning for breakfast, and then ate out for lunch/dinner (and of course we used the microwave to heat up leftovers).

We had absolutely no trouble the entire weekend, and felt like we had the entire backyard to ourselves. This is our new go-to Austin stay. Awesome place!"
1021139,15068857,2014-07-01,16260081,April,"We loved this space! It was warm, welcoming and functional. I'd highly recommend it. Steve was fantastic."
1021139,15322424,2014-07-07,15638457,Dave,"I had a great time at Steve's place. We stayed for the weekend, checking in at lunch on Friday and out Sunday morning. We were pleased to be greeted by Steve, who was friendly enough to give us some good recommendations for things to do in the city.

The place was exactly what we were hoping for--a good spot to hang out in between our adventures in the city. We felt as though we had the place completely to ourselves, since it was tucked well behind the house in the back yard. The neighborhood was about as nice as you can ask for, that close to a big city, and we always felt safe.

I would definitely recommend Steve's place for short getaways, where most meals will be dined out. "
1021139,15477932,2014-07-09,16382842,Suzanne,"This is a wonderful place. Steve was the perfect host, respecting my privacy yet making sure I was comfortable. Little touches like a bottle of wine and treats made the place 5 stars. Murphy bed was very comfortable. The bath/shower practically brand new and clean as a whistle. I could live here! "
1021139,15671722,2014-07-14,12519502,Hana,"Although I never got the chance to meet with Steve in person due to busy schedules, I couldn't have felt more welcome. Steve kept in contact through out my stay and left a list of restaurants and stores that were nearby. Upon arrival, there was fresh fruit, snack bars and even a bottle of wine! The cottage was a perfect fit for my boyfriend and I for the weekend. Everything from toiletries to extra blankets were supplied. We walked to and from the metro rail everyday to go into town which is only 2 stops and very inexpensive. Cherrywood is a cute and quiet neighborhood. We had breakfast every morning at the Cherrywood Coffeehouse which is just a short walk from the house, highly recommend checking it out! I can't wait to stay with Steve again and explore all that Austin has to offer."
1021139,16185800,2014-07-22,16132022,Rebecca,"Steve and his family were very friendly and hospitable, even to our 85lb dog. Steve also was quick to respond to text messages. Their house is on a quiet street in a quaint neighborhood. The apartment is in their lush backyard, which our dog absolutely loved. The apartment was unique and modern, with concrete floors and counters, and plenty of built-in cabinetry. The space had many of guest amenities, to include snacks, wine, a list of local attractions, and most importantly, mosquito repellent. We definitely recommend this listing to anyone."
1021139,16191946,2014-07-22,2446844,Walter,"Was there for less than 24 hrs, but the place is as beautiful as depicted in the pictures. Didn't have a chance to meet host, but I liked the welcoming pack: fresh fruits, cereal bars, a bottle of wine, yoghurt and orange juice in the fridge.  Will book again if in Austin."
1021139,17034173,2014-08-05,13961708,Jonathan,"Just as perfect as last time.

It feels like home. I can't wait to go back."
1021139,17241913,2014-08-09,8758096,Robert,"I stayed at Steves place for two nights, but i wanted to stay forever. It was a awesome house in Steves backyard. Very clean and cosy. It was a bless to step into this AC cooled little house in mid August. Texas is hot!  Thank you Steve!"
1021139,17549112,2014-08-13,2853144,James,"Steve's Cottage was a much needed oasis on our drive across the country. 
He is friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond. I'd recommend this place to anyone passing through Austin."
1021139,17591758,2014-08-14,15218104,Taylor,The place was conveniently located off I-35 and was very nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and welcoming and the snacks were tasty. I really enjoyed my brief overnight stay here while moving into a new apartment.
1021139,17651823,2014-08-15,19522818,Michelle & InChul,"Loved the privacy, wine, and breakfast items (yogurt was amazing), fruit, and the mineral water!  We were impressed with the craftsmanship of the shelves, but my husband (an engineer), of course, looked infatuated with the bathroom sliding wooden door!  
Communication was excellent, and we appreciated Steve's hospitality and all of his efforts in making sure we were comfortable.  He also made sure we could make the most out of our sojourn in Austin by keeping in excellent communication even though we didn't have the chance to meet in person, which was understandable since we were only staying for one day.  Letting us know we could stay a little longer was also so considerate and generous of Steve! The location was also excellent! Barton Creek is located just 20 minutes away.
Only thing to watch out for are the mosquitoes at night, especially if mosquitoes are naturally drawn to you like magnets, which they are to me.  Nonetheless, Steve does provide repellant, which was helpful!! Thank you Steve!!"
1021139,17835767,2014-08-18,13903905,Bobby,Great little cottage about 2 miles from the heart of campus. Very hospitable host and nice clean place. 
1021139,17991731,2014-08-19,3391695,David,"Steve was a great host, he and his cottage were exactly what we were looking for. Went down to Austin for a day trip and his cottage was very cool, clean, and simple. It was located about half a mile off the highway so grabbing an Uber into the city was simple and cheap, and he leaves a suggestion sheet in the cottage that gives good recommendations. If you're looking to stay at a great place at a great location Steve is your man. He's very responsive and easy to work with, I had some trouble booking it, on my end, and he was patient and helpful with the booking as well. Once we got to the cottage there was a gift basket, fruits and wine, for us. He also had no problem with me bringing my dog either. If I go back to Austin I'm going to be checking to see if this place is open everytime I go. "
1021139,18046004,2014-08-20,2106884,Monica,"So lovely! We want to go back :)

I was with a friend on a roadtrip and we weren't sure when we were getting into Austin. In all honesty, we booked the same day. Steve was VERY accommodating. We mostly communicated via airbnb and text, but everything worked out great. 

The cottage is beautiful. It sits right behind the main house. Steve went out of his way to make sure we felt at home -- left a bottle of wine, some treats, even a dog bowl. He even moved his cars from the driveway so I could reverse my pickup (with all my belongings)...this way it wasn't so visible from the street. Lastly, there was plenty of room for my dog to run around in the yard.  We wish we could have stayed a little longer, but hoping we can make a trip back again soon. "
1021139,18177614,2014-08-23,1159238,Joanne,"Had a great stay at this Backyard Cottage. Location was terrific -- easy access to 35, in and out of downtown, and, of course, into eastside. Plenty of on-street parking available. A really great feature of this place is the amazing woodwork and large counters and desk. They look great and afford a ton of shelf space for unpacking and spreading out. The A/C was up for the challenging 100+ degree heat, and the bed, though slightly stiff, was still cozy and comfy. There can be an occasional groan from either the bed's inlaid wood and/or the A/C (it was tough to identify where it was coming from), but you get used to it. The bathroom was clean and the shower roomy, with key amenities available (body lotion, shampoo, conditioner, etc.). Steve was super nice and left goodies for breakfast plus a bottle of wine to help with unwinding from schlepping bags around. This place is a keeper."
1021139,18462001,2014-08-26,17270596,Sarah,"We needed last minute accommodations due to our standby flight schedule. We booked Steve's place while in line for Franklin BBQ and that was the right choice! The location was close to the restaurant, so after our epic wait for BBQ (no regrets), we were able to drive quickly to the house to sleep away our food coma. It also had a mini fridge, which was necessary for our BBQ leftovers. 

There was plenty of street parking right in front since it was a residential (website hidden) worked great and the bed was nice and firm which was more comfortable than the hotel we had stayed in the nights before. It was centrally located to most of the activities we had planned, which was a major plus! 

Steve and his wife were very sweet and helpful. Highly recommend this place for those that are looking for a central location. "
1021139,18488089,2014-08-27,16700460,Claire & John,"Steve left us clear instructions on how to get into his cottage because our flight got in so late.  The cottage was very clean,  and of course, the snacks he left for us were much appreciated by us hungry travelers and just a courteous gesture.  I will recommend his cottage to friends and family visiting me in the future! "
1021139,18596642,2014-08-28,2457839,Gregory,"What a wonderful couple of nights my girlfriend and I had at Steve's backyard cottage. Plenty of privacy, and a beautiful, simple, streamlined space that the pictures don't really do justice. Steve and his family were gracious hosts, and I would not hesitate to stay here again."
1021139,18799405,2014-09-01,1990281,Wendy,"We recently booked Steve’s guest house for a long (Labor Day) weekend it Austin. We opted to go with a guest rental because we have four small dogs (two pugs, a dachshund and a French bulldog), and wanted a private pet-friendly place to stay that that offered an enclosed yard and was inside the city. We had a great time and we would unreservedly recommend Steve’s place to anyone interested in a cozy, pet-friendly vacation rental located in a great neighborhood near the college.  First of all, communication was great. Steve literally replied to most of our emails within minutes, all of our questions for carefully and fully addressed, and Steve always worked hard to make sure everything was clear and to avoid any errors in communication.  Steve’s home is located in an awesome area of Austin; situated near the college and within easy access of the freeway. There are a number of coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and convenience stores, etc. within walking/biking distance as well, and there was ample areas for street parking when we visited.
The cottage itself is cozy, but offered us and our four small dogs plenty of room. The amenities include a comfy full-size bed, a private bathroom with shower, a kitchenette area with microwave/sink, and plenty of shelves/drawers to store you things. Steve was also thoughtful enough to include some snacks, an umbrella, and a complementary bottle of wine. The cottage is easily accessed via a sliding door into the back yard, and the yard itself is very cool, with lots of chairs, tables, and even a hammock and trampoline.

We met Steve and his family on our first day there, and they were all very friendly and inviting, but they were also very mindful of our privacy and we came and went whenever we pleased without a peep from anyone.

Overall we had a great time, and we really enjoyed Steve’s rental. We’ve used Air BnB to rent places all over North America, with generally good results, but Steve’s rental was definitely one of our best vacation rental experiences; I highly recommend you book with him if you want to visit the Austin area, and especially if you have dogs or just want the privacy and freedom that comes with access to your own cottage and a private yard. "
1021139,18933722,2014-09-02,20820346,Tom,"We were really happy with the space and Steve was a super nice guy.  It was clean, modern, in a great location, and the price was fair.  I'll be staying here again next time I'm in Austin."
1021139,19032962,2014-09-05,12653315,Jimmy,"Our stay at Steve's backyard cottage could not have been better. The space is well curated inside and out--very comfortable and cozy. Steve was incredibly flexible with our check in and check out times. He also provided an awesome list of sites to see and places to eat in the area. In addition, it is very easy to take an Uber to the Downtown and South Congress areas. This is place is an amazing value! We will definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
1021139,19095158,2014-09-06,13562346,Robert,"Steve's backyard cottage is a perfect place to stay when visiting Austin. It's easy to locate and comes with everything you could possibly need. Additionally, Steve provides more than what's expected. He provided Popsicles for us on our arrival! There really was nothing more I could have possibly wanted from a home away from home. Steve's very responsive and makes sure to keep in touch with anyone staying in his little oasis. This Austin home is highly recommended!"
1021139,19254501,2014-09-08,20945794,Munzie,"Steve was great! He was super fast at responding to the reservation request, and providing information, and that was very helpful. The place was EXACTLY as described - beautifully done, tucked away, and so very comfortable. The added personal touches just upped the appeal - a collection of antique cameras, the chalkboard full of happy traveler salutations, and especially the welcome bottle of wine! I also never would have thought a murphy bed could be so comfortable. I will definitely be coming back to stay here next time Austin is on the travel books. "
1021139,19577657,2014-09-14,9753979,Tammy,"We booked last minute and everything was perfect. Steve had a great list of things to do close by and had fresh baked cookies for us. The room was a great size, private and very clean. I plan on recommending this room to any of my friends who plan to travel to Austin. Thanks again Steve!"
1021139,19608314,2014-09-15,18950978,Austin,"The backyard cottage is funky and cool as is the host, Steve. The cottage is located in a great part of town, just a drive from many attractions. We were greeted with a tour of the cottage and a list of local restaurants by the host. The cottage was clean and tidy upon arrival. We recommend to anyone traveling to the Austin area. "
1021139,19827201,2014-09-19,19116187,Curt,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Steve's cottage for a single night while in town for a friend's wedding. The space exceeded our expectations - it was extremely clean and more spacious than the pictures show. Most importantly, Steve was a great host and made sure that we were comfortable and had everything we need for our short stay. I highly recommend the cottage for any couple looking for a secluded getaway. We will definitely be back!"
1021139,20013827,2014-09-22,19068070,Kimber,Such a wonderful place to stay! Great neighborhood and just the right size for a quick trip to Austin. We really enjoyed our time and Steve made it so easy for us to come and go. 
1021139,20120220,2014-09-23,21335575,Jacob,"My girlfriend and I got a great first impression from Steve. He was genial and friendly with us, and offered some hints and tips on how to make the most of our stay. He was also accommodating, flexible on in and out times.  and generous with gifts and treats. I thought the onus was on the guests to bring gifts! We were fans of the central location. The backyard cottage has character without being cluttered, like the perfect scaffolding to put your own memories upon.  It is handsome. The pictures do not do it justice. Feels warm. Feels cozy. Like a hotbed for being creative or unwinding. Our honest regret was that we didn't book more time to stay and make use of the space, for writing and reading and lounging. "
1021139,20176171,2014-09-24,4692822,Amanda Joy (AJ),Steve was a great host!! I loved the place so cute and stylish. It's was very zen. My little yorkie loved the fenced in yard.  
1021139,20338977,2014-09-28,9928363,Jessica,"I booked Steve's cottage for one of my bridesmaids during my wedding weekend in Austin. It was PERFECT. Just as described...great location, clean, etc. Steve was great about communication and even had the fridge stocked! I definitely recommend the Cottage to someone planning on visiting Austin and will remember it for future trips to the city for me too."
1021139,20736122,2014-10-05,11331641,Jessica,"This place was GREAT! Steve was an amazing host and extremely accommodating to anything we needed. The location was in an endearing little neighborhood not far from all of the happenings. The local coffeeshop had a superb brunch and the largest cup of tasty coffee I've had in awhile! We utilized Uber to go back and forth between downtown and the price was absolutely reasonable. You can't beat this place, highly recommended!"
1021139,20842873,2014-10-06,21102947,Whitney,Great spot! My sister and I were in town for one night and this was a great spot! Very clean and quaint spot and Steve was very helpful and easy to get in contact with. Fun coffee shop down the street with free yoga in the mornings too! Highly recommend this spot!

1021139,21357738,2014-10-15,491517,Kathleen,"This place is so perfect and Steve is a great host! The cottage is beautiful and clean, comfortable and private.  I was able to park in the driveway which was a plus, since I had a car full from moving cross country.  I loved the backyard and the design of all the furniture! It's in a cute neighborhood and I was able to walk to great restaurants and coffee shops. "
1021139,21498308,2014-10-18,15015366,Aubrey,Beautiful cottage in a quiet neighborhood. Steve was very helpful and even had a page of recommended restaurants and stores in the area! 
1021139,21648672,2014-10-20,855247,Dawn,"Steve was very welcoming, friendly and accessible. Not that it will happen for you, next guest, but in addition to awesome breakfast food, there were two enormous chocolate chip cookies that had, in my opinion, the right balance of salt and chocolate. 
The cottage itself was beautifully constructed, comfortable, and peaceful. Just what I needed for relaxing in between my many business meetings that day."
1021139,22064280,2014-10-29,4727565,Jez,"I had an absolutely great time at Steve's place. It is a really delightful hideaway, where i really felt at home. Peaceful and welcoming. I would truly recommend it to anyone. Really beautiful. A safe, gentle, calm space. Steve also lent me a bike, which was incredibly helpful. The neighbourhood is really charming. Honestly can't recommend this place enough. Would happily stay there again. Thanks Steve."
1021139,22132132,2014-10-30,5422056,Robbie,Great little cabana in the backyard of a cool family in a cool neighborhood. The place was quiet and comfortable and I would stay here again.

The location was excellent and close to everything. No TVs here so if you want to watch something bring your laptop and use wifi to stream some Netflix or Hulu. Overall a great place and great experience. 
1021139,22298804,2014-11-03,10285383,Gregory,"Steve has a pretty cool little guest house! It was just what we needed for our quick overnight stay in Austin. First time ever staying in a pull down bed and I have to say it was a lot more comfortable than I thought it was going to be! The place is just a few minutes drive or about a $10 uber from downtown so it's really convenient and although we didn't need it Steve had out some breakfast items for the morning. 
Highly recommended place to stay if you are journeying to Austin! "
1021139,22429866,2014-11-06,1489886,Mallory,"Steve was a fantastic host! The guest was exceptionally clean and adorable.

1021139,23139089,2014-11-23,23949359,Dschana,great host. steve provided me and my better half with our first airbnb experience and our expecations were far exceeded. first class recommendation.

There were small snacks, all amenities you could ask for, and easy access.  The space is beautiful, clean, and quaint. The apt is super conveniently located to pretty much all ATX attractions. I'd recommend this space to any traveling couples or solo trippers."
1021139,23955243,2014-12-15,23749933,Jade,"I highly recommend this place! Steve was awesome and helpful and the place was perfect for what I needed, and very close to many places Austin has to offer. Also, the cats were cute. "
1021139,24034256,2014-12-17,22818390,Katherine,Steve was an awesome host and very accommodating! We brought our own air mattress and he gladly provided us with extra sheets.

1021139,24051865,2014-12-18,675899,Charles,Steve's backyard cottage was a perfect spot to stay on our drive across the country.  We really enjoyed how quiet it was and our dogs loved it as well.  Steve was very responsive and welcoming.
1021139,24098392,2014-12-19,24967848,Rachel,"Steve was great, very helpful and accommodating. It was a short stay, but we will be back, no doubt. The cottage was perfect! Thank you for having us!"

Steve was very accommodating - he's very flexible on check in/out times and responds to all e-mails within the minute.  The bed was comfortable, especially the pillows!  As a first time user of airbnb, I was very impressed with the ease of booking and checking in/out.  I highly recommend this place!"

"
1021139,24798601,2015-01-02,24935616,Alan,"Unfortunately, our trip through Austin got severely truncated, but I have nothing but good things to say about Steve and his home. He was extremely accommodating of our poor time management skills, and the guest house is clean, comfortable and very easy on the eyes. He even left out a helpful list of nearby businesses, some healthy snack food and an entire bottle of wine. There's nothing like a light buzz and a belly full of granola to get a day started right.  

As one of my first Airbnb experiences, he set a very high bar. Hopefully I'll be back in Austin sooner than later, and I'll definitely be checking to see if his place is available. "
1021139,24805161,2015-01-03,7078609,Patrick,"Great guest house in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to some of Austin's best restaurants and bars. Steve is a great host - had s bottle of wine waiting for us! Very quiet private space and very comfortable.  Thanks, Steve!"

1021139,25276794,2015-01-11,24709354,Bonnie,"Steve was great!  I felt very comfortable and welcome.  I stayed during the one week of the year Austin gets cold but I was warm and cozy.  When I arrived, he had a bottle of wine, fruit, and granola waiting for me.  He was an attentive host without being at all intrusive.

This is my first Airbnb experience and I am sold.  But, most of all, I am sold on this wonderful backyard cottage.  The location was perfect and I greatly enjoyed my stay. "
1021139,25342637,2015-01-12,8575275,Alexandra,"It was a great stay, we wished we could have stayed longer. Perfect location, we booked because of it's distance from the U which was literally 3 minutes of way."

We chatted with Steve for a bit -- he's great! He was quick to reply to texts/e-mails to ensure we had a mutually convenient check-in and check-out time. Wish we could have stayed longer!"
1021139,25958459,2015-01-31,7363449,Beatriz,"I spent two weeks in the cottage, and reccomend it without a blink. It is super nice, just like in the pictures. I did not have a car and could get around by bus easily (the 21 takes you to Wholefoods; the 20 takes you downtown to Congress Ave). It's a 15-20 min walk to the LBJ Library or the Benson Collection at UT, and a little more to the core of the UT campus. The neighborhood is safe to walk, even in the evening. Steve is a great host, makes everything possible for you to have a great stay. I can't thank him enough...I truly enjoyed the days I spent there."
1021139,26067714,2015-02-02,11527315,Rachael,"This is a lovely cottage with a peaceful atmosphere, nicely tucked away in the host's gorgeous backyard.

1021139,26147326,2015-02-04,27069640,Sam,Steve is a sweet fellow with a beautiful and clean little cottage in his backyard.  The neighborhood is exactly what you want if you're going for a weird/indie Austin experience.  Steve goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcome.  Can't recommend highly enough.
1021139,26415969,2015-02-12,24604786,Jarryd,"Steve was an all around amazing bloke. The place was exactly as described and pictured. Steve also provided a variety of snacks/fruit/yoghurt/wine for us to eat/drink during our trip. 

He provided a number of great recommendations for the area which turned out very well. Extremely communicative and happy to help with any issues. Overall an excellent host with a great space to rent. 

Seriously, Steve is such a top bloke. "

1021139,26769356,2015-02-18,4405579,J.L.,"What a perfect experience. Steve is fantastic (and not just because he baked fresh cookies and left them on the counter). The space is very aesthetically pleasing and roomy. The bed was very comfortable and there are amenities to make it feel like home - coffee, tea, granola, yogurt, fruit. The space is near the university and all the great restaurants in Austin. Close to the airport as well. "
1021139,26805447,2015-02-19,20013490,Mayda,"Wonderful cottage, wonderful host, great neighborhood...I highly suggest staying here! Super clean, spacious, and the cookies he left for us delicious!  Thank you Steve! We will be back!"
1021139,26913064,2015-02-22,5334318,Janet,"My husband and I arrived at Steve's house at the planned time. He was there to greet us. The backyard cottage was as depicted in photos. It was clean and cheery. Steve had nice touches such homemade chocolate chip cookies, granola, yogurt, and cold seltzer, and orange juice in the frig. A bottle of Pinot noir was on the counter, and more.  What was lacking?  Spoons!  Steve- you need to get some decent spoons. I would also recommend getting rid of the giant desk and putting in a couple of comfy chairs or a sofa. The location was wonderful- easy access to downtown Austin. Lovely neighborhood. We felt safe and secure. The neighbor's rooster was well behaved and didn't crow at annoying times. Thank you for a nice stay. "
1021139,27010539,2015-02-23,175641,Christel,"Steve's place was conveniently located, quiet, safe, and easy to find. Steve was helpful and had a very quick response time to my reservation request. I would recommend this great spot! I will stay again on my next trip to Austin. "

1021139,27572872,2015-03-08,24917654,Michael,"Steve's backyard cottage was fantastic and consistent with the listing.  The space is very cozy and private and within walking distance to the University of Texas and other attractions in the city.  The neighborhood itself was very walkable and quiet, with plenty to do in the area.  In addition to all the amenities mentioned in the listing and by previous reviewers (i.e. fruit, yogurt, granola, juice, coffee vouchers, wine, delicious homemade cookies, towels, etc.), Steve was extremely hospitable - an exemplary host.  He provided my wife and I with an extensive list of local restaurants and shops and offered rides and other suggestions throughout our stay.  My wife and I recommend Steve's cottage to anyone staying in the Austin area.  If the cottage is available the next time we are in Austin, there is no where else we'd rather stay. "
1021139,27812246,2015-03-12,19148037,Kirby,"Our stay at Steve's cottage was great! It has a private feel with the assuring factor that Steve is right there if you need assistance! It's a cute space, spacious for a ""small cottage"" which gives you your own space amongst others! It is centrally located in a cute neighborhood! Everything you could need and more is provided by Steve and this cottage!"
1021139,28115817,2015-03-18,5791505,Ryan,"An incredible host – better than a hotel. The place had everything I needed and Steve was kind enough to leave breakfast food, coffee and snacks. In addition, he left coupons for a local coffee house. He also offered a ride or use of a bike if needed. 

The location was fine for me, right by the university. A great deal if you are staying in Austin. I highly recommend it."

Fresh OJ and yogurt in the fridge, fresh fruit and granola on the counter, coffee, tea, wine, etc. Seriously a great place to stay. We only stayed one night but wish it had been more. I'm jealous of his sweet cottage."
1021139,31044417,2015-05-01,9249715,Lora,It was amazing! Better than a hotel stay. Secluded yet only minutes from downtown. Ample street parking. Steve was very welcoming. I'm very happy with my stay!

1021139,31550729,2015-05-06,635680,Blake And Katherine,Steve has a comfortable place in a great location in Austin.  He thought of everything a guest would need and was nice enough to deliver an additional umbrella since Austin provided heavy rain while we visited.  He also went above and beyond by providing a light breakfast and some free coffee at a nearby location that was quite excellent.  
1021139,31631546,2015-05-08,4974701,Sandy,We loved this space. It was so well designed and thought out that it was a pleasure. Very clean and comfortable as well.

Definitely recommend.

Steve was super friendly and also provided some really delicious cookies,  some wine, and some other snacks! There is a nice little market and coffee shop right down the street. We were in for a wedding and getting to the various locations around town from here was super easy!"
1021139,32501558,2015-05-19,20036567,Jonathan,"Everything was great at this cottage. Steve was very nice, and provided extra amenities, such as yogurt and cookies. It was close to the UT area, and there were several great restaurants and bars within walking distance. I would definitely recommend staying here."

The cottage is clean, well-stocked, with the most comfortable bed, thick towels, great lighting, and AC!  Kinds hosts, yogurt and juice are in the fridge, granola and granola bars welcome you with info sheet on local dining, bars, and coffee shops - coupons were left for free coffee too at Cherrywood Cafe nearby. Will be back!"
1021139,34052157,2015-06-04,23269775,Hannah,"Steve was an exceptional host from start to finish. I would not have picked another place to spend the last week. His backyard cottage is exactly as it looks in the pictures - quiet, quaint, and comfortable. Steve provided snacks, bananas, orange juice, and a bottle of wine for our stay. His two adorable outdoor cats were as friendly as can be. I would highly recommend Steve's cottage for anyone looking for a great stay in a neighborhood close to the city/UT campus. "
1021139,34185244,2015-06-05,32693043,Simon,"I won't look for another place to stay in Austin next time I travel there, this is THE place! Very nice and independent cottage in a beautiful and quiet green neighborhood. Everything was perfect!"
1021139,34934698,2015-06-14,20820762,Peter,"Steve contacted us ahead of time, and met us when we arrived. He had stocked the fridge, had fresh-baked cookies, granola, popcorn and wine for us when we arrived. There was a thorough listing of neighborhood eateries, as well as Austin arts papers, etc. It was very much as described, and actually larger than the photos made it look. The neighborhood was great, very walkable, easy access to I-35, UT, downtown, and a quick ride in from the airport. As we stayed a week, Steve gave us fresh towels midway through. He was also very flexible with the check-out time, which helped us not have to worry about our luggage ahead of our flight. "
1021139,36355016,2015-06-27,5685043,Peter,Amazing stay! Steve was the perfect host and the venue was both beautiful and well located.
1021139,36440596,2015-06-28,20614685,Erin,"Very accurate description. This little space was set in a quiet neighborhood near wonderful places to visit while in Austin. The space was clean and comfortable, with well thought out amenities, such as an umbrella and key that lights up."

1021139,36901916,2015-07-02,35551062,Eichelle,Our time in Austin was greatly enhanced by our stay with Steve. He was flexible about our check in and check out times which was great since our flight was a bit late. He also had stocked the mini fridge with a few things which was really nice. The space itself was beautiful and peaceful. I would highly recommend staying with Steve if you are ever in Austin. 
1021139,37159268,2015-07-05,27902063,David,"Steve was very welcoming and the space is exactly as described. There was even a list of places to eat and drink, as well as coupons for free coffee at the cafe down the street. 

We visit Austin often, and we try out best to stay with Steve every visit moving forward."
1021139,38623938,2015-07-17,8614731,Susan,"Steve's backyard cottage was the coolest Airbnb I've stayed in: clean, stocked considerately with amenities for travelers, and designed beautifully. The location was perfect for exploring Austin and Steve had great recommendations. I wish I had more time to stay. I want to go back already.  "
1021139,38761171,2015-07-18,5667654,Cliff,Super comfy place tucked away in the backyard of a funky neighbourhood. Only stayed in Austin for a night but Steve's communication was great and a few extras were left for me to enjoy in the cottage :) I am a bonehead and left my iphone charger on the bed - Steve is the best and shipped it back to Canada for me without hesitation. If you're visiting Austin and want the full experience stay here!
1021139,39005223,2015-07-20,16859907,Mila,"Steve was awesome! He provided coffee vouchers for a local shop, coffee/tea, wine, bananas, granola bars etc. He even found a dog dish for my pup! The backyard cottage is beautiful, surrounded by green and very cozy. You're far enough from the main house that you feel a lovely sense of privacy and the cottage is still full of light. The pictures actually don't do the place justice! It is so warm and welcoming. I'd happily have stayed for longer. The location is super convenient and the neighborhood is friendly. I took my dog for many walks and always felt at home. "
1021139,39510811,2015-07-24,32869516,Brittany,"Steve was by far the most accommodating host we have had on this holiday. We were provided with food, drink, and a gorgeous backyard cottage in a great spot. We enjoyed the nearby cafes which we also got a free coffee voucher for (thanks Steve!). Austin is one hell of a city and what we received with air bnb was totally representative of the rest of the city - highly recommend to anyone travelling to Austin."
1021139,39802664,2015-07-26,28992404,Catherine,"Steve's place was better than a regular hotel! The pictures do not do it justice. It was spotless, comfortable, quiet, and convenient. Steve was very welcoming and flexible and left us all kinds of treats, including a list of great dining recommendations. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. Just wonderful! "
1021139,39955111,2015-07-27,35217625,Ali,Awesome cottage and cute neighborhood! Steve was a great host - very accommodating and helpful. Space was very clean and offered great amenities. We'll definitely be staying here any time we come to Austin!
1021139,40204925,2015-07-29,31592537,Lauren,"Looks exactly as pictured! It was a cute little guest house behind Steve's place. It was easy to find and it was very clean!

1021139,40353395,2015-07-30,22533465,Tyler,"Exceptional Airbnb. Friendly and extremely accommodating host. The cottage was clean and and had all the essentials (and then some). The value was great and it wasn't far from the downtown area. I highly recommend staying here! Thanks, Steve!"

1021139,40717700,2015-08-02,9151740,Scott,"Steve's place was perfect for our weekend stay in Austin. Great little space with everything that we needed. Steve even stocked the fridge with snacks and drinks (and 2 vouchers for coffee at the nearby coffeehouse), which was super nice. Location was great, too. We rented a car and didn't have to drive more than 10-15 minutes to any of the 'must-see' places that we wanted to go. Will definitely be staying here next time we're in Austin!"
1021139,41053691,2015-08-03,2002133,Corley,"Although we arrived late and didn't get to meet our host we felt very welcome with a little note and homemade rice crispy treats, also a few other snacks, map, recommendations etc."
1021139,41200812,2015-08-05,31434973,Sherri,"Coffee shop at the end of the street? Ah, yes, this was not only a beautiful neighborhood, but a market and a coffee shop were within walking distance. Downtown Austin was a few miles away. We had a great stay at Steve's modern backyard cottage. It had everything we needed. The small fridge was stocked with Austin-brewed beer and other goodies. We were welcomed with homemade Rice Krispy treats and two coffee vouchers. Make sure to see the bats when you're in Austin. It was one of the highlights of our short stay.  "
1021139,41728472,2015-08-09,29589915,Nathan,"We had an incredible time at Steve's air bnb. It was so comfortable with a small town feel, but close to downtown where we could get to all the places we wanted to visit in Austin. The place was exactly how it looks in the pictures, open and modern.  Steve was a great host and was always available if we needed anything. He knew the area well and gave us tips on things to do in town.  We would definitely recommend staying here and we will stay here again next time we're in Austin. "

Steve was helpful and pleasant. I plan to stay there again when I'm in Austin. "

1021139,43810671,2015-08-22,26909651,Belinda,"Great cottage in a cute neighborhood.  Loved the treats that were left for us to enjoy.  So many good suggestions for thing to eat and do In Austin, we will have to come back soon to do more things on the list.  Host was very easy to correspond with."
1021139,43957526,2015-08-23,2844405,Elizabeth,My husband and I had a great time at Steves backyard cottage. Steve made us feel welcome and was quick to respond. This has probably been our best and favorite airbnb experience so far. Thanks Steve!

The place is so quiet and comfortable and a shirt ride to Downtown to all the action ! 
Thanks so much Steve - we loved staying with you! "
1021139,44275235,2015-08-25,26732569,Chris,Steve and his family are awesome! (And the cottage is great too!) Lots of space and lots of cool books and trinkets on the shelves to look over.

1021139,47155602,2015-09-16,6431936,Idalia,El barrio es cercano a la Universidad de Texas. Cerca a una avenida con diferentes restaurantes. Un gran lugar para pasar una temporada larga o corta. Steve es amable y discreto. Todo estuvo en orden.
1021139,47639799,2015-09-21,36172381,Agustin,"Such an amazing first Air B&B experience! Beautiful industrial-style space, convenient location, and in a safe & quiet neighborhood. Steve was incredibly hospitable, and we will definitely want to stay there again next time we're in Austin!"
1021139,48320553,2015-09-25,16440344,Orion,This is certainly one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in. Steve is really cool and interesting to talk to. The cottage has every amenity necessary and its located in a quiet neighborhood that is still close to downtown and campus. 
1021139,48510785,2015-09-27,35693145,Jack,"Good, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of pubs, sports bars and the University of Texas.  We walked to the game at Texas Memorial Stadium on our trip.  
Steve had everything ready for us and didn't need to be there at arrival or departure. (Sorry we didn't get a chance to say ""Thank You.""
The cottage was secluded and we felt safe.  The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfect for a whirlwind ""less than 24 hours"" stay. 
The four chocolate chip cookies were fun and appreciated. Thanks!"
1021139,48729165,2015-09-28,18107081,Traci,"Steve was very responsive in advance of our trip. The cottage was exactly as noted, so very cute!

1021139,49112045,2015-10-01,12779927,Abigail,"Every detail was perfect - good location, clean, contemporary design and comfortable. We had a great time in Austin and would love to stay here again. "
1021139,49303805,2015-10-02,28188872,Taylor,"Steve was such a nice guy. He communicated wonderfully and graciously allowed me to trick my girlfriend into thinking there wasn't an actual bed (epic) (don't worry - there's definitely a bed and it's magical). The cottage itself is SO cozy and so comfortable. Everything was impressive and if I could move in full-time, I would."
1021139,49761235,2015-10-06,7615394,Emily,"Steve's backyard cottage was a great home base while we were visiting Austin.

Steve provided a great list of neighborhood spots to check out and even left us some fruit, granola, coffee, and home made Rice Krispie treats!  It was a great stay."
1021139,49912473,2015-10-07,233953,Samantha,"Great space, easy communication, good deal for the price. Steve even let me know I left my earbuds so I could come get them. Thanks!"

1021139,50379699,2015-10-11,45618207,Dyral,Steve was an excellent host. As accommodating as one could ask for. The cottage was great and the location was unbelievable. Very centrally located to anything you could possibly want to do. If you really want to immerse yourself in the Austin culture this is the place you want to stay at.
1021139,50638726,2015-10-13,42273167,René,We had a wonderful experience! We will definitely be staying here again the next time we go to Austin. Loved the Rice Krispie treats :) the only thing that could have been improved was the cleanliness of the towels. Other than that it was perfect. Thanks!  
1021139,50769880,2015-10-14,43864724,Ellie,"The place was in a comfy little neighborhood, and although it was the cottage I stayed in the house itself was adorable. Our small living space, although small, it was adorable. It was very comfy and easy to settle into, and Steve even had a list of restaurants/cafes we could go to during our stay. Everything was adorable! Would totally come back!"
1021139,51112602,2015-10-18,36663263,Steven,"Had a great stay at The Backyard Cottage.  This was our first stay an an airbnb place and were a little nervous going in, but were put at ease when we arrived and the place was as advertised.  Steve was an excellent host.  The gem of our stay was the coffee shop down the street Steve told us about, Cherrywood Coffeehouse.  The breakfast tacos were to die for!

Thanks for a great time!"
1021139,51284539,2015-10-19,13242257,Caitlyn,Our stay was great. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The location was a short drive from the downtown and nature trails.  Steve was very helpful and he provided a ton of recommendations for what to do in the area! 
1021139,51665637,2015-10-22,11911011,Linda,"Steve's backyard cottage is a stylish sanctuary tucked into the city.  We appreciated the mini apartment with kitchen and enjoyed our 2-day stay very much, thanks to Steve thinking of everything guests may need during their visit including healthy, self-serve, packable breakfast items, literature on Austin, flashlights, umbrellas.  The Murphy bed was very comfortable too.  Communication was a breeze and he offered recommendations not only for Austin, but also Nashville, another stop on our road trip.  "
1021139,52037290,2015-10-26,3473680,Piero,"Steve is a fantastic host. His place is impeccable, with great decor, and lots of welcoming details like a guide to good restaurants in the neighborhood. 

He always made sure we were comfortable and even brought some toys from his house for my 1 y/o son :)

I really can't recommend Steve and his cottage enough."
1021139,52376800,2015-10-28,6632656,Muriel,"Steve's backyard cottage has been the best guesthouse we've stayed at on our road trip (so far we've been on the road for a month). It has lots of big windows with good screens that allows for lots of light and fresh air. The design is modern and clean and there's lots of shelf space for storing stuff away. Also, there's a real walk-in shower. The backyard is very private and there is a table and chairs that makes for a great place to hang out. Steve was an incredible host. He was extremely friendly and helpful. Besides the lists of restaurants he had waiting for us, he custom printed for us lists of places that we would be interested in visiting. Throughout our visit Steve responded instantly with advice to any questions we had. Thanks so very much Steve-it was a great pleasure to meet you and to stay in your wonderful guesthouse."
1021139,52408571,2015-10-29,20659159,Larry,"Steve was. It there the moment I arrived but made it very clear and easy for me to make my way back to the unit. He did come out to say hello and for me to meet his very nice young son. He was extremely cordial and everything was just great. The space itself is extremely private and very comfortable, I loved it."
1021139,52969644,2015-11-03,17185240,Lyn,"This was a terrific place to stay.

1514935,11732561,2014-04-13,4941657,Brittany,"Kyra was amazing. I came to Austin with 3 other people, unaware that there was a motocross convention and literally EVERYTHING was booked. I turned to AirBNB in hopes that I could find something last minute. Kyra had the linens changed, house cleaned, and left the house for us in one hour. I somehow managed to lose the key and Kyra had a spare for me and was extremely understanding and helpful. I would recommend this adorable, quaint, and comfortable home to anyone. THANK YOU KYRA! "
1514935,11753680,2014-04-14,1499095,Paul,"Kyra was so accommodating and friendly, especially given our group's fluctuating (and late) arrival times!  We had 6 people who fit comfortably in her super cute home.  The home is amazing and a perfect place for us to sit around relaxing and planning out trip out to Big Bend.

Great location in a fun neighborhood with food and drinks a short walk away.  Thanks to Kyra for making our arrival to Austin effortless and welcoming us so kindly!"
1514935,12257969,2014-04-27,2257957,Jenni,"My friends and I stayed in Austin for just one night after seeing a concert, and Kyra's home was perfect! Not only is it conveniently located in east Austin just off the highway, but also it's one of the most charming homes I've ever seen.

It's very small, but my group of 4 was perfectly comfortable. I loved waking up and sipping coffee while relaxing on the wooden swing on the front porch. Kyra was very generous the whole time and communicated really well with us, answering any questions we had. 

Would love to stay here again!"
1514935,12361543,2014-04-29,13833974,Fred,"Fantastic location in East Austin. A short walk to great music venues like the White Horse, Bar 1221, etc., and 6th Street was a short cab ride.   The place itself is very nice, loved the BBQ in the back yard.  Really well-equipped kitchen. But, as advertised, the house  is still being renovated, but it really wasn't an issue. Kyra was a great hostess, even leaving beer and wine in the fridge.  I would definitely come back."
1514935,12579608,2014-05-05,14569045,Amabelle,This is definitely a cute hipster house and Kyra was so responsive and attentive. So easy to check in and out. Super clean! The  location is a quick taxi ride to downtown. Thanks Kyra for being such a sweet host!
1514935,13084230,2014-05-19,14092655,Prasanth,"We had an excellent stay and will very likely try to stay here again on our next visit. Kyra and her assistant were accommodating, prompt in communication, and the location was extremely convenient. "
1514935,14330828,2014-06-16,8960248,Jocelyn,"The House was just as described and looks just as pictured or better. It was an awesome little house and perfect for our stay. Everything went well, contacting Kyra and her assistant was fast and easy.
The house had everything we needed. Including toys for my friend (the piano), who likes to play music and brought his own guitar. The porch is small but cute with a hammock. 

Thanks for everything Kyra. I would definitely consider staying here again."
1514935,14892920,2014-06-28,3058126,Nicole,"Kyra and the house were both great!  I had a quick, one night business trip to Austin with a colleague and my 18 month old son and this house worked well.  Kyra was quick to respond to questions.  I appreciated her flexibility on check in and check out times.  I had never been to Austin before and didn't know the neighborhood so I appreciated the Kyra recommended things like the Splash pad for my son and babysitter walking distance from the house.  I had heard that East Austin used to be the rough part of town but has been converting to a hipster hub which was true.  We went to the Hi Hat pub for drinks and dinner which was walkable and excellent for beer, wine, and food.  The huge supermarket at the end of the block was super convenient. The decor in the house was super cute and hip.  My bed was really comfy.  I appreciated the well stocked kitchen.  Spot, the thermostat was very helpful to cool the place down I'm the 90 degree, high humidity weather."
1514935,15704680,2014-07-14,17083455,Angeline,Our group of 4 stayed at Kyra's property and it was wonderful! She has everything you need and more. The house was very clean and appeared exactly as described. Kyra and her assistant were super helpful and attentive to all of our needs. I will definitely recommend this property to friends! 
1514935,16104836,2014-07-22,16584438,Garrison,Super cute home that was a great base for our weekend extravaganza in Austin.  Close to the airport and short drive to where we went shopping and out for the night downtown.  Also loved the super convenient HEB down the street. 
1514935,16534672,2014-07-28,7985005,Priscilla,"Kyra was a great host!!  I was able to book last minute, helped us stay within our budget  and  she was flexible on the check in which made our stay that much sweeter. The house it self is great ! Awesome location,  sweet porch swing and hammock, and a kitchen to die for!!!!  I love to cook and this kitchen was a chefs dream ( at least this vegan chef)  lol  I would definately book with kyra again. Comfy beds awesome backyard what more can you ask in the heart of the east side. Walking distance from the HEB and awesome bars on e7th and e 6th. We will definately be visiting this location in the future!!"
1514935,16926279,2014-08-04,17938104,Kenneth,"Of the five of us, only one will ever remember to bring towels. Only one will know to bring pillows. Only one will have the forethought to place body wash and shampoo into the slick confines of a Ziploc bag. Only one will remember to bring hair gel. Only one, sunscreen. We don’t travel hundreds of miles by plane and car to meet up on the porch of 2511 Diaz Street only to face each other and combine our hands much in the fashion of the Planeteers. We don’t stand there--me with a handful of bar soap, Marcus with pillows tucked under his arm, Kenneth with his towels, Cody with his hair gel, Mateo with his shampoo—and bump fists full of product and shout, “Let our powers combine so we may have a hygienic and restful weekend!” No, it doesn’t happen like that. When I say that only one of us ever remembers to bring the necessities, I mean just one of us. The same guy. Every time.  Any other weekend, any other reunion, it would have been greatly appreciated. But it was unnecessary this time around, because staying at 2511 Diaz was like coming home for the weekend. There were towels aplenty. Sheets of the finest thread count. Literature neatly strewn across the shelves. The entire Harry Potter series. Three guitars that all sound the same when nobody knows how to play. Brazil nuts bigger than Brian Schroeder’s big toe. A porch swing. An electronic keyboard with an organ function that’s perfect for the 3am bemoaning of the girl you couldn’t find after the bars closed.  And the mother of all amenities—the 2-in-1. Wow! Just a technological dreamboat, really. I didn’t even know we were there yet as a society, but the 2-in-1 washer/dryer will surely blow your mind. You don’t even have to use it. Just look at it. Anyway. Our stay at this house was better than coming home. Everything about the interior made you want to stay just one extra day until you eventually acquired the property through some absurd form of squatter’s rights. And as I was saying earlier, this guy, the one friend who always remembers to bring what we need—we may not have needed his hair creams and skin balms this time around, we may not have required his extra towels or curiously stained pillows, but we needed him all the same. We needed him to rip on for having come so prepared with his Nivea creams and TRESemmé hair gels. For having brought his own pillows and towels, hell, even his own grill when it turns out the very backyard was already stocked with one. Because isn’t that what a reunion’s all about? Ripping on the one friend. Rehashing. Reliving the past in a place that makes you feel comfortable to do so. So, 2511 Diaz Street, thank you for the great stay. I think it made all of us feel like Austin was a place we’d never left.  - Matt J. "
1514935,17860526,2014-08-18,18611591,Justin,"Stayed here for a weekend with five of my friends and the place worked out great! They had anything that you might have forgotten (shampoo, phone charger, toothpaste..) and plenty of towels! Also a close walk to the grocery if you needed anything else. A piano, record player, xylophone and guitars were enough to keep Austin weird. Definitely recommend staying here.. and would stay again on another trip to Austin!

1514935,18767945,2014-08-31,19789052,Brandon,Kyra was quick to answer any questions. The place is very neat and clean and in a good location! Very easy to get downtown from there. We had a great stay!
1514935,19482105,2014-09-13,19526421,Kyrsten,Our stay was wonderful! Kyra made everything very easy. The house is adorable and has everything you could need. We loved our stay. 
1514935,19558993,2014-09-14,2810879,Steve,Kyra's place was just as it was described and I loved it ! Truly a slice of the Austin experience that I really enjoy. The bungalow was in the middle of a  funky block in a neighborhood clearly undergoing some changes but for now no mini mansions or townhouses to screw things up. The house was spotless and comfy. The neighborhood was quiet and only minutes from downtown. Kyra was also very responsive to questions. I would go back in a second. I do owe her a Lone Star though. My son napped one of hers out of the fridge when I wasn't looking :) 
1514935,20048463,2014-09-22,12520669,Marc,"Kyra's house was absolutely perfect. Clean with comfortable beds in an up and coming neighborhood with lots of good things in the neighborhood. Super easy coded access, washer/dryer, just about everything you'd need is covered."
1514935,20750863,2014-10-05,16595607,Alexander,Great host. Very nice little neighborhood. A short taxi ride from all the bars. I would stay here again if i came back to Austin
1514935,21125681,2014-10-12,19006563,Toni,"I really enjoyed staying at Kyra's house in Austin.  We had a great time with it being so close to 6th street and Zilker Park.  It was a short/cheap cab ride away.  The inside of the house was very well maintained and updated. She has done a great job updating it.  We had clean sheets and towels upon arrival.  It is also nice having an HEB right next door as well. Some of the surrounding neighborhood is up and coming as many houses looked like they were being updated.  Don't let some of the older houses steer you away from staying here, we felt safe and it was just fine. I'd certainly recommend staying here!"
1514935,22197956,2014-11-01,22133648,Candice,Kyra's house was just as descrbied and more. I appreciate how helpful she was and her responses are very fast. The house made my Austin experience perfect!
1514935,22252996,2014-11-02,5586024,Sterling,Our stay was wonderful. What a comfortable and creative home!  Highly recommended!
1514935,22877473,2014-11-16,15765241,Andrew,"Kyra made us feel welcome in her cute, bungalow in East Austin. Great communication, as Kyra kept up with us to make sure everything was OK and gave good cafe recommendations. The bungalow was pristine on the inside and had the personal touch with great details everywhere - art, books, records, and the guitars hanging on the wall. The large communal dining table with the red warehouse shades is the bees. The neighborhood is conveniently located, about 1 mile east of Downtown (5 minute bike ride), but there are tons of sweet cafes and restaurants even closer on the east side. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!"
1514935,26639721,2015-02-16,26945802,Samuel,We liked the little book that provided things to do. The house was exactly as described. The neighborhood was a little sketchy.
1514935,27281589,2015-03-01,5393541,Courtney,Great place and very convenient location for East Austin activities. Hops and Grain Brewery is a stones throw away which was awesome.
1514935,27590133,2015-03-08,26814167,Justin,"Kyra went above and beyond my expectations. It was an amazing first experience with airbnb and I would highly recommend Kyra's perfectly situated home, especially if you like to travel and breathe in the culture of the area. The home is just as hip as described and is very nicely decorated, every inch of the home is filled with photos, paintings, and books. 

Kyra's house is less than a 5 minute drive to downtown hotspots and many other restaurants/food trucks.  She will also present you with many recommendations upon arrival. It really helps getting a true Austinite's perspective to narrow down the abundance of activities. It helps that she is always a text/call away at any time. She even provides you with an assistant's number to make sure questions can be answered just in case she is unreachable. Kyra is also very flexible with the house and will work with your schedule with an admirable politeness. "
1514935,30239160,2015-04-19,5215192,Aj,"We had the BEST time at their house! It's the perfect weekend spot, they left a nice book of recommendations, plenty around to drive/walk/bike. The best bang for your buck in all of austin! "
1514935,30691172,2015-04-26,29119581,Mike,"A+. Really great, cozy spot. Kyra was the best. Be sure to hit her up for restaurant recommendations btw. "
1514935,31840806,2015-05-10,3309958,Eugene,"This place is even more adorable in person!  A perfect place to spend your time in accurately-described ""hip East Austin.""  The beds are soft, the towels are plentiful, and there's a digital piano for practicing.  Though we didn't take advantage of it, this house has an impressive kitchen and Kyra keeps it stocked with every spice imaginable.  There's also a really big table so you can host some friends or fellow travelers for a dinner/drinks/coffee/etc.

Kyra was also super communicative and friendly, which of course makes the experience that much better.  A++ would stay again."
1514935,32417850,2015-05-17,17793612,Stacey,"Our stay at Kyra's was great! The house was exactly as described in the listing, and was just what we needed for our weekend visit to Austin. Don't be alarmed by the slightly sketchy-looking surrounding houses- this house is very clean, safe, and charming! It's also within walking distance of some real gems - Hops and Grain brewery is literally around the corner, and E. 6th Street has some great bars and music. It's also very easy to grab an Uber and head downtown or to Rainey St. - about a $5 ride! I would definitely recommend Kyra's place to others who are visiting Austin and want to stay in a neighborhood with a little charm instead of the expensive downtown hotels! Thanks Kyra!"
1514935,37248147,2015-07-05,36992685,Tim,"My friends and I had a weekend reunion in Austin and decided to try out Airbnb. I was the only Texan of the group and wanted to give them an authentic Austin experience. We could not have stayed in a better place! We were minutes from most things we went to, had plenty of room for five people, fully stocked, walking distance to HEB, & enjoyed the charm of the home. My friends were blown away by the stay. Thanks for being a part of an awesome weekend Kyra!"
1514935,38663783,2015-07-17,38113727,Kassandra,"Kyra checked in numerous times to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was awesome, with just enough space for us all! Small, sweet and homey! The garden and morning butterflies were a plus! Along with the outside lighting it was just peaceful! HEB right down the street, we walked a couple times! The neighborhood wasnt a problem for us at all! We miss being in Austin! Such a convenient location! "
1514935,38965991,2015-07-19,38503186,Zachary,Great place! Very close to everything and the house had so much character. Felt like there was a lot of love around that place. Plus there were Pokemon cards!
1514935,39540185,2015-07-24,37300041,Marcus,"We were a group of five and had a great stay. It's a charming home that has everything you need (all kinds of juicers, a great Coffee machine, record collection, piano etc) We loved hanging out on the porch before going out to the near located east sixth street (way better than dirty sixth, check out Hotel vegas and White horse).
Communication with Kyra was easy and she always replied quickly. I can only recommend staying at Diaz street!"
1514935,41898409,2015-08-09,35594506,Jacob,"Kyra has a great place in East Austin. Walking distance to HEB, Hops and Grain Brewery. Short Uber ride to Rainey, Sixth Street and other great parts of Austin. The house has much character and fits into East Austin perfectly. Kyra was great a communicating throughout our stay and when we had a slight AC issue and helped resolve it even though she was out of town. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for an Airbnb in Austin. The pictures and description given were spot on.  "
1514935,42791339,2015-08-15,38575924,Louis,"We loved our stay at Kyra's. Her house is really comfy and homely, with good facilities, would recommend to anyone.  Great location too, great bars just round the corner. Kyra was always a text away when we had any questions, and she also provided some handy tips at the house, as well as a great guidebook which gave us loads of good stuff to do. Brilliant all round"
1514935,47781538,2015-09-21,42449948,Crystal,The house was in a perfect location. The House was super cute and fit our party of 6 comfortably. Kyra was quick to respond to any questions I had and was very helpful. I would definitely recommend this place! We used uber a lot to get around Austin and it was $10 to get to downtown 6th and there was taco trucks/restaurants near by. HEB was down the street if we needed anything. loved it! 
1514935,50328387,2015-10-11,17793612,Stacey,"This was our 2nd time staying at Kyra's place. It is a charming little house within walking distance of some great restaurants and a brewery. Kyra is always very responsive whenever we have questions and is very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this place, as evidenced by our desire to stay here on a second trip. "
406911,2545439,2012-10-08,2995647,Jessica,"Cynthia was incredibly hospitable in all the right ways. Great conversation, great recommendations, great welcoming treats and etc. Location could not be better and the room was quiet, peaceful and comfortable. I hope we get to stay there again. "
406911,3213313,2013-01-01,3495486,Bobby,"Cynthia and Jim were fantastic hosts!  Comfortable home, great dogs, and coffee and bagels when we woke.  Cheers!"
406911,3771878,2013-03-13,4716369,Isaac,"Cynthia and Jim were exceptionally nice, friendly, and welcoming hosts who went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. Their house is close to downtown Austin with easy street parking, and a large, pretty riverside park nearby. The apartment is large, clean, and comfortable with some nice extras like a leather recliner and massage chair. The bathroom is also nice, and they have a small apartment-sized fridge in there. When I was leaving, I was having trouble finding a cab, and Cynthia actually ended up offering to drive me to the airport. Couldn't ask for a nicer place to stay in Austin."
406911,4089433,2013-04-08,1360285,Julia,"I was in town for work with Whole Foods Market and a conference at UT Austin. Cynthia and Jim were great hosts and very accommodating of my travel and work schedules. The studio was full of really nice touches like shampoo/soap and a basket of teas, which came in handy when my luggage was lost...Their place was in a really convenient location and had a great local Austin funkiness to it. I had a great stay and would highly recommend to other travelers!"
406911,4251989,2013-04-22,4655438,Scott,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time staying here for a wedding. This will definitely be our go-to place to stay for any subsequent trips to Austin. Cynthia and her husband Jim (and their two awesome dogs) were both super friendly, welcoming, and respectful of our privacy. Although attached to the main house, the room(s) still felt secluded and private. The bed (actually a futon), turned out to be insanely comfortable. There were also a few welcoming baskets, some cold beer and water in the fridge, and delicious home-made pumpkin bread + fresh-brewed coffee left out for us in the morning. There is even an awesome massage chair that will try to assimilate you into the Skynet/Borg if you're not careful. A superb experience all-around!"
406911,4367086,2013-04-30,5014504,Treasure,"Cynthia, Jim and the pups were wonderful hosts! We even woke up our first morning to homemade blueberry, banana bread that was delicious! The location was perfect and the space was exactly what we needed. I definitely recommend checking them out when you're planning a trip to Austin!"
406911,4555995,2013-05-12,1544509,Andrea,"I have to say, Cynthia is the ""hostess with the mostest""! The place was very charming, and within easy walking distance of everywhere we wanted to go. The extras made our trip to Austin so much more enjoyable. Nicely stocked fridge, fresh fruit and homemade breads and muffins in the morning, comfortable bedding, soft towels... It couldn't have been nicer. We'll definitely stay here again."
406911,4717151,2013-05-21,5280042,Erin And Andrew,"Cynthia and her husband Jim were amazing hosts even before we arrive. They helped coordinate my travel plans and stored some of our things before we even arrived. When we arrived the place was amazing!!! They had a stocked fridge, a welcome note and  little goodies. Honestly it was more like a bnb than any of the other places. They gave me complete privacy and every once in a while would offer up a cold beer or a very tasty margarita. 
Both Jim and Cynthia were extremely nice and the room was great. Great shower, big bathroom, cozy bed, good circulation. And great great location !!! You an really get any where from there house in no time :) I would highly recommend their house and I look forward to staying there again if I visit Austin in the future :)"
406911,4849583,2013-05-28,707577,Sharon,"Cynthia and her son were hospitable hosts!  She left us homemade blueberry banana bread which was amazing, along with fruits, snacks, and other goodies (and a whole fridge of drinks to choose from)!  They were so flexible on check-in-check-out time it made our stay stressfree.   Location location location! If you want the best location for your stay in Austin close to all the action within walking/biking/short driving distances, this is the place to be!"
406911,5196738,2013-06-17,6804954,Anna,"As a lone traveller, visiting Austin for the first time, this was a great place to stay. Cynthia was very helpful before my visit and provided me with lots of excellent suggestions for places to visit. As a result, I had a lovely weekend. The apartment is very comfortable and I enjoyed breakfasting on banana bread and coffee in the veranda. I didn't have a car, but the location of the flat made it easy to explore the city on foot and via the bus. I would happily return."
406911,5335307,2013-06-24,6259303,Karla,Wonderful location for the fun things to do in downtown and South Congress area. Room was very comfortable and cool and cozy feeling. Massage chair a fun extra. Yummy blueberry banana bread and very good coffee.
406911,5465890,2013-07-01,6817200,Jayme,"We loved this very cute place in Austin. Cynthia and Jim were very nice and left us coffee, strawberries and blueberry bread.  They were also very helpful in recommending places and music to check out.  The screened in porch was especially nice after the rain cooled things down a bit!  We really enjoyed our stay with them and would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin.  Great location! "
406911,6758863,2013-08-24,7593514,Amber,"I recently had the pleasure of staying in Cynthia and Jim's guest apartment for nearly a full month. It's a clean, comfortable and quiet place, and is in an ideal location - convenient to both downtown Austin and to South Congress, but not right on top of either. Cynthia certainly knows how to make her guests feel welcome - on several occasions I found freshly-baked goodies waiting for me in the morning, and she went out of her way to tell
me about happenings in the area that I might be interested in. I'd
definitely stay here again - in fact, the next time I'm in Austin, this is the first listing I'll check.

406911,7467912,2013-09-21,8694915,Michelle,"Cynthia was a fantastic host, and I could not have asked for better accommodations! Not only was she helpful with information about Austin, she checked in with me the day before arrival to make sure I knew how to get in. The room itself was very comfortable- great bed, roomy bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and the massage chair was to die for! And, to top it all off, the mini-fridge was stocked with drinks & yogurt, and there was fresh blueberry bread and coffee ready to go in the morning! And all for an $8 cab fare to the Convention Center! My colleagues who stayed at the Best Western were so jealous! Thank you, Cynthia!!"
406911,7719176,2013-09-30,1283005,Cosmo,The room and location can't be beat! We'd have had a great time staying here even if Cynthia hadn't exceeded all expectations and obligations and even if it hadn't been for the delicious blueberry bread! We hope to be back!
406911,7868133,2013-10-07,3704696,Ashley And Derek,"We had a wonderful stay with Cynthia and Jim! The guest quarters was very comfortable and we loved the screened in porch, which had a view of their beautifully landscaped yard. The fridge was stocked and there was a goody basket with lots of yummy stuff. The pumpkin bread was to die for and we loved enjoying it with the delicious coffee. The place was very clean and the massage chair was great after our walks too and from the ACL festival. We were within a mile of Zilker park, which was great because we could walk too and from our festival! (Others were paying 20$ just to park where we were staying). We loved our stay and would recommend Cynthia and the SOCO stay to anyone! Thanks! "

Our room was comfortable, adorable, and the location was extremely convenient... we didn't rent a car, and we were never left wishing we had! We really truly felt at home thanks to Cynthia and Jim's hospitality--they accommodated us with an early check-in, provided fresh coffee and pumpkin bread in the mornings and authentic 'Austin' recommendations. We had everything we needed and more. I would recommend this stay to anyone! My boyfriend and I hadn't even left Austin yet before we were talking about staying here the next time we're in town. "
406911,8206370,2013-10-21,605870,Steve,"Great place to stay.  The location is about a block from Barton Springs Road, so everything I am interested in is walking distance.  The room was very nice and clean, and Cynthia left a welcome basket of snacks, muffins, and a small frig stocked with beverages.  I will stay there again (unless I buy the house next door which was for sale when I was there).  Thank you Cyntha!"
406911,8371817,2013-10-28,8734072,Mary," We really enjoyed our stay in this studio in SoCo near Town Lake and Austin's great urban parks and walking/biking trails.   We loved being able to walk to downtown, Zilker Park and South Congress neighborhoods.  Cynthia and Jim were great hosts- the room is very comfortable and the porch with fresh coffee and pumpkin bread was a great space to spend the early morning. Don't miss El Alma restaurant across the street with their lovely patio.   All in all a great location and wonderful hosts."
406911,8566646,2013-11-05,9048547,Sarah,"This was my first Airbnb experience — and it was fantastic. It was so nice to stay someplace that felt like home while on vacation. Cynthia and Jim's place was so comfortable and inviting that it took no time at all to get settled and set off into our plans. The pups are very sweet and Brendan was so helpful (and made us some very awesome quick bread to enjoy on the porch). Our time went so smoothly, thanks in large part to our location. It was easy to walk almost anywhere or at least find a nearby bus stop. 

Thanks again to Cynthia, Jim and Brendan! We had a blast."
406911,8684532,2013-11-12,2055506,Heather,"My boyfriend and I visited Austin in order to attend the Fun Fun Fun music festival.  We added a day at Cynthia's place at the last minute without problems due to a flight booking mistake - oops!  Cynthia and her husband (and the dogs) were ultra friendly, accommodating hosts, left us pumpkin bread, and had a mini fridge stocked with water, a couple beers, OJ, and yogurt, not to mention the granola bars and fabulous chocolate bar left out for us.  To me the ultimate treat was just having to wake up in the morning, head to the screen porch, and simply press ""on"" to have a pot of coffee ready to go within a few minutes.  This was true hospitality.  The bed and room in general was very comfortable, plenty of room for us.  The location is great too, easy to catch a bus to downtown, though we walked, since it wasn't far.  We were also about a 5 minute walk from Auditorium Shores, where the music festival was held.  Overall I definitely recommend!! "
406911,8811607,2013-11-19,3757036,Will,We had a great stay! Cynthia and Jim were perfect hosts and the apartment was perfect - comfortable and in a great location. We would stay again without hesitation. 
406911,8937042,2013-11-26,6899022,Katie,"We had the most perfect weekend at Cynthia and Jim's guest cottage. It was comfortable, cozy, and had tons of stuff for guests - from bathroom amenities to banana bread and coffee (which was delicious!). They organized a list of things to do in Austin, along with information about their historic neighborhood. We took Cynthia's advice and went to an art event in east Austin, and it was wonderful. 

Overall, it was simply lovely! One of my best Airbnb experiences yet, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a non-touristy Austin experience."
406911,9059411,2013-12-03,9963154,Kira,"My stay with Cynthia and Jim was amazing! Such a cute and comfortable space. There was fresh coffee every morning, a filled fridge, all the bathroom necessities and Cynthia even made fresh banana bread! 
Both Cynthia and Jim were full of great recommendations for local restaurants, etc. and their house is in a great location that makes it easy to access everything around.
We got to spend time and get to know our hosts and spend a wonderful evening going out to dinner and chatting on the beautiful screening in porch. 
All together it was really just amazing! I can't wait to go back!

406911,9271474,2013-12-17,3993646,Mark,"We were visiting Austin to go to a friend's wedding and we couldn't have chosen a better place to stay for that week. 

Cynthia and Jim are the most awesome hosts you could possibly hope for. Full of advice, kind and welcome they made the whole trip worth it just with their presence! 

The accommodation is kooky and fun! A lovely room as described in the listing which is more than enough for two people. 

I really have to say that they were amazing, we had fresh coffee every morning and even some delicious baked banana bread! What more can you possibly ask for! 

All in all, 5 out of 5! 

We should mention that we fell in love with their dogs too! Che and Tango are absolutely adorable too!

Of course, the location is also spot on and the neighbourhood is awesome. 

If you need a place to stay in Austin, this is it."
406911,9477704,2013-12-30,10616041,Benjamin,Had a great stay at Cynthia and Jim's place! We really enjoyed the fresh baked bread and the coffee in the morning. Would certainly recommend the place to others.

Cynthia made us some delicious banana bread, and coffee, bottled water, and yogurt were provided as well. They were happy to provide recommendations for local restaurants and events as well. Fantastic first experience with airbnb."
406911,9728139,2014-01-06,8648099,Joe,"My wife and I absolutely loved staying at Cynthia's place in Austin. First, Cynthia is an outstanding host. Fantastic recommendations on things to do and places to eat but so many nice personal touches - coffee and baked treats on the porch and cold drinks in the fridge. So many nice extras.

The accommodations were simple and perfectly located for a great visit to Austin. The river trails and great places to eat/drink are walking distance. If you enjoy jogging/running, the scene is phenomenal. I ran every morning along the river starting from the front gate of Cynthia's place.

We look forward to keeping in touch with Cynthia and look forward to seeing her again in Austin!

406911,9963922,2014-01-21,4895213,S,"Cynthia and Jim were the perfect hosts.  My fiance and I arrived to the apartment in the wee hours of the morning due to some travel delays and we were greeted by some delicious fresh baked blueberry banana bread that made our travel delays melt away.  The apartment was stocked with a variety of other great snack items (including a couple of cold beers), magazines about Austin, and a great list of things to do in Austin, which we referenced heavily throughout the weekend.  The apartment was private and perfect for us.  Great location, fun and polite dogs to interact with occasionally when coming and going, and nice conversation when we had the forture to encounter Jim and Cynthia in their own day-to-day.  We had a great time in Austin and want to return soon - I hope we can stay here every time!"
406911,10133947,2014-02-02,4545790,David,Cynthia and Jim have a great place in a location that's perfect to explore Austin.  The room was comfortable and cozy and it was perfect to start each day with Cynthia's delicious blueberry banana bread. Cynthia and Jim were full of recommendations for things to do in Austin.  We'd definitely go back the next time we're in town.  
406911,10266268,2014-02-10,1300134,Peter,"Cynthia and Jim's place is absolutely lovely. Easily the best airbnb stay I've had (and I've stayed at airbnb places in four countries over multiple years.) Cynthia and Jim are lovely people, and they made my girlfriend and I truly feel at home. From the homemade blueberry bread to the bottled water in the fridge to the fantastic local recommendations, Cynthia and Jim couldn't have been more accommodating. If we make it back to Austin, we'll surely look to stay at this spot again. Thanks, Cynthia and Jim!"
406911,10386035,2014-02-17,9827722,Elliot,"Everything about this place is wonderful.  We arrived after a long day of travelling to a beautiful picturesque house in an awesome neighbourhood.  Hosts had a nice welcome letter and helpful local information waiting for us.  The bedroom was lovely with a comfortable bed and an incredible massage chair that melted hours of airport stress away.  Had dinner at a great mexican restaurant on the corner and checked out the downtown core (a short walk away).  Next day, we woke up to sunlight streaming through the tall high ceiling windows and fresh baked blueberry banana bread on the porch.  Could not have been a better start to the day.

All in all, we were in Austin for almost a week and thoroughly enjoyed staying here.  Right across the river from the downtown core, around the corner from the performing arts center, a 20 minute walk from the convention center, and surrounded in every direction by great restaurants and bars.  Also in the immediate area was a nature trail, bike rental shop, mini putt place, and a nice little par 3 golf course ($8 for a round).

All the good things I've ever heard about Austin were embodied in this place.  Definitely a combination of super cool hosts and a gorgeous property in one of the city's best neighbourhoods. This was only our 2nd stay at an airbnb but it was so good, I swear I am never staying at a hotel ever again.  In fact, I think that if all airbnbs were as great as Cynthia and Jim's place, the hotel industry would completely collapse.  In fact, Cynthia and Jim should start a hotel network of places designed like their home.  They would be billionaires, I'm telling you.  

Anyways, A+++, 10/10, Five Stars, don't bother with other listings, this is the place you've been looking for. Seriously just do it."
406911,10569714,2014-02-25,2617423,Sarah,Great location!  Short walking distance to good food (El Alma and Green Misquite).  Short bike ride to Zilker Park.  Short drive to 6th Street.  The apartment has everything you need plus a little more.  I would definitely stay here again!
406911,10678448,2014-03-03,1794997,Nicole,"Cynthia and Jim's place was PERFECT. They have thought of everything, and I mean everything. We were as comfortable as we are at home. The studio is just beautiful, and the bed is comfortable. Having a mini-fridge and microwave was excellent as well. 
The location is fantastic. We walked the whole of Austin right from the house. It was so nice to stay somewhere and not need a car. The neighborhood is so nice as well with lots of adorable houses to admire. There are a bunch of great bars and restaurants very nearby. 
I have to say though that the best part of our stay was Cynthia and Jim. They were so friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed talking with them so much. They seemed to have a genuine interest in us having a great visit to Austin. 
We plan to stay again!"
406911,10770969,2014-03-06,3077140,Victoria,"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying at this very cozy and private apartment. We were provided everything we needed and more! Cynthia and her husband were very attentive with us. If ever back in Austin, I will definitely book with Cynthia again, if available. Thanks again for everything! :) "
406911,10917058,2014-03-13,8676025,Jeremy,"This was a home away from home. I stayed here during SXSW and it was a wonderful, relaxing, calm place to retire to after a busy day of overwhelming chaos. Cynthia and Jim could not have been nicer or more welcoming. From the help planning my trip, to the friendly advice about the city and conference, to the coffee and pumpkin bread each morning - this was an ideal place to stay. I would absolutely go back. My only regret is that I didn't have a chance to get to know Cynthia and Jim better."
406911,10955671,2014-03-15,11313983,Lauren & Chris,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Cynthia and Jim's place during SXSW and it was an oasis of calm and relaxation amidst the chaos of the festival! Their place is lovely and comfortable and they are the nicest, most thoughtful hosts anyone could hope for. There are lots of things to see/do/eat within the immediate neighborhood, and they are a skip away from downtown. I cannot imagine a better stay for any visitor to Austin."
406911,11241282,2014-03-26,6915284,Steffi,"We very much enjoyed our first airbnb experience at the Cozy SOCO.  Cynthia and Jim were a wealth of information on the activities of Austin. Their recommendations were very helpful, as this was our first visit to Austin. It was a nice touch to be greeted with a welcome basket and filled fridge, and we particularly appreciated the soft, luxurious, SCENT FREE bedding.  The location was perfect for walking along the water, shopping, and restaurants."
406911,11351208,2014-03-31,8678402,Mariana,"WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE! 

Hosts: There are not enough great things to say about Cynthia and her husband. They are incredibly welcoming and sweet people. They also had a list of suggested things to do in Austin which was great! They were accessible and accommodating. We loved getting to know them! 

Accommodation: Clean, quiet, comfortable, and private. The fact that we had access to the patio was an added treat. We had coffee and banana bread ready for us every morning and not to mention we hung out with their two adorable dogs. But if you're not a dog person, don't worry because I invited them to hang out with us, otherwise they spend most of their time in the house. 

Location: Excellent location! We were able to walk to Barton Springs, Downtown, South Congress, South Lamar. There is also a Mexican Restaurant down the street if you want an afternoon margarita.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Looking forward to returning to Austin and there is no question that this is where we will stay.  "
406911,11550598,2014-04-07,13094864,Nancy,Our first airbnb experience was excellent thanks to Cynthia and Jim.  Loved the stocked frig upon our very late arrival!  Sipping fresh coffee and eating banana nut bread out in the screened porch in the morning was great too.  Very comfortable bed and large bathroom.  Really appreciated all the amenities (your list of things to see and do was so helpful) and we loved your dogs too!  We definitely want to visit Austin again and hope to see you then!
406911,11793111,2014-04-15,8696300,Ben,"This couldn't have been a nicer place, and a perfect location to boot! We were close to the trails, to the river, to downtown - but still had this cozy, friendly home to come back to each day after our adventures...

... the highlights?

...fresh coffee every morning...

...a lovely, soft bed...

...a pampering massage chair...

...a spinning bicycle for workouts...

...a quiet neighborhood with zero trains, airplanes or loud cars...

...and a very friendly and amicable host!

We would go back to this Airbnb in a heartbeat. Loved it!"
406911,12006801,2014-04-21,2810919,David,"We had a 4 night weekend in Austin, staying at Cynthia & Jim's.   It went very well.  The room is exactly as pictured.  It's separate from the house, sharing a common screened-in back porch.  The bed is a queen futon, but quite comfortable.  We awoke to the sound of morning doves - very nice.

Cynthia had nice little touches - beverages and snacks, fresh-baked blueberry bread, coffee ready to brew in the morning, etc.  The room has it's own adjoining bathroom and kitchenette (sink, microwave, little fridge).  Cynthia left detailed notes on places to eat.  Wifi was great.  We never used the TV but it's there too.  Being dog folks we asked to meet the dogs and had a couple opportunities to pet them during our stay. 

This was our first visit to Austin.  We weren't sure about the location, being south of downtown.  But...it's so close to everything!   Downtown in six minutes, SOCO restaurants and clubs in 5 minutes, etc.  Perfect location for us.

Cynthia and Jim were friendly and unobtrusive.  We saw them less than once a day for pleasant interchanges.  

We would stay there again if we are back in Austin."
406911,12132042,2014-04-23,4837178,Jody,"Quite possibly the best location in Austin, walking distance to downtown, Zilker, South Congress and more. Studio was clean and we loved the massage chair after a long day of playing outside. Cynthia and her husband were super nice, too -- and her fresh-baked banana blueberry bread was divine. Would book again in an instant. Highly recommend. "
406911,12276170,2014-04-28,2849134,Cecile,"This was a great place to stay. The first night Cynthia presented us with a fresh baked bread, which we noshed on with the yogurts, coffee and OJ for the rest of our stay.  Nice snack basket with some crackers, energy bars, and tangerines for that snack you know you need.  Comfy, cosy, and just great.  Exactly what an air bnb stay should be.  ideally located, too.  Austin has a new bike share program, and there is a stand 5 minutes from the house.  and the dogs are wonderful too!  You will love your hosts, too. They know EVERYBODY (my friend Mark from Chicago, they knew his local store!).  "
406911,12608187,2014-05-06,12130598,Emily,"This is a great place to stay! It's easy to find, central to a few very fun neighborhoods, and has easy access to a lot of excellent food and drink. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and you will wake up every morning to birds singing in the trees outside.

The apartment itself is very cute and comfortable. There's a lot of light, the futon feels like a bed (I slept like a rock every night) and there are drinks, snacks and delicious homemade blueberry bread. Cynthia and Jim are very welcoming and will provide tips on places to go, and their dogs are wonderful and friendly.

I was very happy with the apartment, the hosts, the neighborhood, the city of Austin and everything! I'd highly recommend staying in this apartment when you visit Austin. Also, the massage chair is pretty amazing."
406911,12925429,2014-05-14,14098616,Ethan,"What a great host! Cynthia made banana bread for us and pointed us to all the hotspots. The room was clean, roomy, private, comfortable and well-stocked, and the neighborhood is close to plenty of great stuff. Highly recommended!"
406911,13113360,2014-05-19,378318,Alexandra And Allan,"Fantastic location for the studio, close to downtown and Barton Springs. Lovely hosts and charming dogs. I had a short, excellent stay with Cynthia and Jim and I would highly recommend the place to anyone. There was coffee and a croissant for me in the morning! Very nice touch. I felt at home in the neighborhood. El Alma is right across the street, and it was the best Mexican food (and margaritas!) I had during my stay in Austin. "
406911,13408966,2014-05-27,12628300,Kelly,"Cynthia and Jim's place was absolutely wonderful. They went out of there way to make their place as peaceful and homey as possible. Some of my favs were the homemade blueberry bread, the Shinerbock's waiting in the fridge, the porch, the coffee - and yes, even the massage chair (I was a little doubtful but it was amazing.)

They were more than helpful in giving suggestions on places to visit, eat, etc. Funny enough we actually made it to quite a few. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. They were fabulous :)"
406911,13740935,2014-06-03,13671606,Katie,"We really enjoyed our stay with Cynthia and Jim. They are very welcoming and helpful when it comes to visiting Austin. Even if you think you know what you want to see, pick Jim's brain. He'll be happy to share, and it's all worthwhile.

The place was comfy -- I picked it partly because of that massage chair, and BOY! am I glad I did! I used it at least twice every day, and it really helped after a long day of walking around Austin. One thing you can't see in the photos is the lovely high ceilings. Between those gorgeous windows and that high ceiling, the place is very spacious-feeling (not that it's small in really any way). The attached private bathroom was also spacious and had everything you'd want (including a hairdryer -- I never know whether to pack one or not). If you accidentally leave anything at home, I think you'll find that Cynthia has provided it for you.

Each morning, you step out your door onto the lovely screened-in porch, press a button, and in a few minutes, you have delicious coffee. Cynthia's banana bread lives up to its reputation, and she also stocked the fridge with yogurt and juice (and half and half for the coffee). 

If you're feeling leery because of the dogs, don't. While they will be somewhat excited to see you at first, they are impeccably behaved and very friendly, and they're never an issue (I could've seen them more, in fact, because I was missing my own dog). 

Another point to consider: I found Austin to be a little more spread-out and less pedestrian-friendly than I'd thought, and wanted to rent a car (also because I really wanted to see San Antonio, a little over an hour to the south). There is a very friendly, fast, and affordable Enterprise rental center just about 3 or 4 blocks away, so you can easily pick up a car from this airbnb location without incurring any taxi fees. I was very glad we did that. (And if you do rent a car, go visit Gruene -- trust me!)

As a last note, be sure to eat at Torchy's Tacos. There's one within walking distance of Jim and Cynthia's. Their tacos are creative without being annoying, and tasty beyond belief. Get some of their roasted corn and some La La's Lemonade, too, there. Trust me on this!"
406911,13895675,2014-06-07,2547202,Matthew & Fiona,"Cynthia and Jim are fantastic hosts. Their apartment is lovely and comfortable—just what I needed while I was in town for a conference—and the neighborhood is quiet, charming, and convenient. Cynthia had thought through every aspect of the experience, with helpful instructions and personalized information even before arrival, and gave useful local tips when I arrived. I took a lot of the advice and was glad I did. Personally, Cynthia and Jim were so friendly and went out of their way to be generous and welcoming—I'm lucky it happened to work out for us to have a couple conversations: they are both fascinating people as well as great hosts.

I hadn't expected to use the massage chair, but boy am I glad I did. Nothing better at the end of a long day. Or the beginning of one. Or both."
406911,13984692,2014-06-09,15977038,Andrea,Had a great time. Very accommodating and helpful with suggestions for activities and dining. Lived the decor-very charming. It's was especially nice to have breakfast of the home made banana bread and juice!  Bed was comfortable and we got plenty of use out of the message chair. Bike rentals a block away made local travel cheap & easy. Helped me burn off my food calories!!
406911,14315707,2014-06-16,16428749,Elisabeth," Cynthia and Jim do not need another rave review because they have so many. Their home is wonderful and they are so welcoming. Their house is in a perfect location, right next to a bike share making the rest of Austin easily accessible. It was the perfect place to escape to after a long day, and Cynthia's blueberry bread might have been the best thing we are the entire trip. Thank you for making our time in austin wonderful.  "
406911,15630469,2014-07-13,1014277,Mark,We had a fantastic time here and Cynthia was so fantastic and welcoming.  She even left us some home-baked and other goodies for us as a welcoming gift.  The location of the house is perfect on a beautiful shady residential street a stroll away from some great bars and restaurants and Austin B Bikes which we used constantly. The screened porch is awesome and perfect place to relax.
406911,16080628,2014-07-22,14974237,Paul,"My wife and I stayed with Cynthia and Jim for several days recently during the middle of July. For our arrival, Cynthia had baked some awesome blueberry pumpkin bread for morning breakfasts. They also had a dorm-size refrig stocked with yogurts, beer, waters and juice! The bed in our studio was very comfortable and sitting out on the screened-in porch during the morning was very relaxing. And, the automated massage chair in the studio was great!

Both Cynthia and Jim were friendly (and offered great tips on dining, things to do) but weren't intrusive. All in all, we had a great stay and would highly recommend you visit!"
406911,16618958,2014-07-30,17143459,Lisa,"My 4th grade daughter and I spent 4 days at this wonderful bnb. Our hosts were very gracious, personable and helpful. There was extensive information on things to do around town as well as each and every amenity of the rooms. We were very comfortable and felt very at home. 

Thank you Cynthia, Jim, Tango and Che!"
406911,18290081,2014-08-24,9256643,Ronak,"We've stayed at 5 Airbnbs during our cross country road trip this past month and this one may be our favorite! 

The location is great! If the wind is just right, you can smell the bbq wafting over from Terry Black's. It's just a quick walk away (close enough so you can be rolled home!  ;-) 

You have compete privacy in the back room with your own full bathroom. There's also a stocked mini fridge. We loved the healthy snacks (freshly baked bread! Very tasty) and natural bath/cleaning products. Both nights we were there, I made use of the massage chair... One word: bliss! 

There are two very friendly australian shepherds that added a pleasant, homey touch. 

Last but certainly not least, Cynthia and Jim were the consummate hosts. Very friendly, but non-intrusive. They provided a personalized welcome letter with great tips. When we come back to Austin, we will definitely stay here again!"
406911,18841724,2014-09-01,4745851,Mary,"We spent 3 nights in this cozy soco apartment and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We arrived rather late on the first night so to be able to start the next morning with warm home-made banana bread and coffee, ready with a single push of a button, was invaluable. 

The place was just as described and generously stocked with beverages and snacks. The location was exactly what we were looking for and central to most all we wanted to do.  The absolute BEST part of this accommodation is the host and hostess; both of whom are gracious and lovely people. Their recommendations for fun and off-the beaten path places to go, was exactly the kind of travel we were looking for. 

Thank you both for a great experience! If we head back to Austin we will certainly stay with you!"
406911,19629301,2014-09-15,5216293,Sidharth,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at Cynthia's wonderful home. She had provided all of the amenities we needed and even baked some homemade bread for us. The bed itself was extremely comfortable and we also really enjoyed the outdoor patio. Finally, the massage chair in the room was heavenly. I would definitely stay here again. "
406911,20118832,2014-09-23,21290123,Chris,"Cynthia was an amazing host! She gave us detailed instructions about parking and entry to apartment before we got there. She greeted us at the front gate and provided a welcome letter, snack and coffee for the next morning. All-star host couldn't have had a better time!"
406911,20364941,2014-09-28,19647214,Heather,"Cynthia and Jim were excellent hosts. Great accommodations: the bed, the screened porch, the blueberry bread and stocked fridge (which was super helpful bc we got in late). Perfect location close to so many things. Cynthia and jim greeted us when we got in and offered great recommendations on places to go, things to see, etc. Wonderful airbnb experience, I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if I'm lucky enough to make it back to austin. Thank you Cynthia and Jim!! "
406911,21192601,2014-10-13,5281538,Michelle,"Cynthia and Jim are wonderful hosts. This SoCo studio had everything we needed and more. It was so comfortable and within walking distance to a lot of places. We stayed for Austin City Limits and I doubt we could have found anything closer! It's a fun 15 minute walk to Zilker Park but also a short walk to downtown. Parking was also really easy - just out front.
Thanks for having us, we enjoyed meeting you and your two furry little friends. "
406911,21443677,2014-10-17,22288413,Janice,"This was my first time using AirBNB and I am so glad I did. If you need a place to stay in Austin, I would definitely recommend staying with Cynthia and Jim, who are both amazing people. I never felt like a stranger while I was there. Their dogs, Che and Tango, were incredibly sweet and only wanted as much petting as possible, which I was only too glad to give them.  
The room was very comfortable and larger than it appears in the photo. I did not get to explore as much around the neighborhood as I would have liked, but I took Cynthia's recommendation and had dinner at the Mexican restaurant about 100 steps away from their home. The food was amazing. 
I am definitely looking forward to my next conference in Austin and, hopefully, another visit with Cynthia and Jim. I was more comfortable staying with them than I would have been at any hotel."
406911,21586555,2014-10-20,6376819,Chelsea,"Cynthia's place is perfection and completed our ""Austin experience!"" She and Jim made us feel right at home -- she even made us an amazing banana bread! The space was clean and welcoming - the bed very comfortable and all the amenities we could need or want were available. Plus, the location rocks! WHEN we go back to Austin, we would love to stay with them again if they'll have us! Thanks Cynthia and Jim for your warm welcome and amazing accomodation. "
406911,21957572,2014-10-27,21450524,Karenna,"Cynthia and Jim have a beautiful home with a welcoming studio apartment in the back. It was exactly as described, with a few perks we were not expecting but greatly appreciated, such as delicious chocolates, a variety of tea bags and a small pair of scissors which came in handy to snip off wrist bands from one of the local bars. The pumpkin blueberry bread was amazing and made the morning coffee that much better. This was our first airbnb experience and we loved it. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Austin and will recommend it to friends!"
406911,22244474,2014-11-02,21895681,Clare,"Cynthia and Jim were very welcoming hosts.  Cynthia was quick to respond to email queries before my arrival and then in person.  The dogs were very friendly too!

I spent very little time at the property and needed a clean place with a comfortable bed - I got that!  The property was as described and as, per other reviews, there were nice touches such as providing snacks and delicious banana bread.  
Thank you!"
406911,22575548,2014-11-10,15519600,Sean,"Cynthia and Jim were spectacular hosts! Upon arriving we were greeted with fresh baked bread and refreshments in the mini fridge. 

The space was clean and cozy and even included a massage chair. I would love to come back just to stay with such awesome hosts!"
406911,22885215,2014-11-17,20801652,Denise,"Everything about our stay with Cynthia & Jim was fabulous! When we arrived, delicious homemade blueberry bread was waiting for us, along with a refrigerator & basket full of yummy food & drink.  The accommodations were charming, & the room was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Jim & Cynthia were so friendly and welcoming to us, and were available & accessible every day.  They were quick to respond to texts and always checking in to be sure everything was fine (without being intrusive and always respecting our privacy).  Both of us fell in love with the wonderful massage chair in the room!  It was pure heaven on earth!  We also appreciated all their suggestions on places to eat and shop and local entertainment.  They are such a sweet couple.  We highly recommend this B&B and would stay there again without hesitation!  "
406911,23131773,2014-11-23,22695820,Camanh,"Cynthia and Jim were the great hosts. They were informative and helpful with any questions or concerns we had.  Cynthia even made us blueberry bread! Yuum!

The bedroom was clean and comfortable. Definitely would stay here again!"
406911,23385387,2014-11-30,15050663,Edward,"Great place in a great Austin neighborhood, and great hosts who made us feel most welcome. Morning coffee with Cynthia's fresh baked bread and birdsong makes this listing special. Jim and Cynthia are well versed in the Austin music scene so they can offer excellent recommendations for live music venues as well as local restaurants. Stay here and Help Keep Austin Weird!"
406911,23845876,2014-12-12,12272453,Jenna,"My state with Cynthia and Jim was great. Comfortable bed, great location and very welcoming hosts! I loved waking up to fresh coffee and Cynthia's banana bread!"
406911,24078173,2014-12-19,13619311,Cara,"Cynthia and Jim's place was great! We stopped by in Austin for a few nights and had a really wonderful time. The hosts were very helpful with tips on where to go for music and food. The place is located in a convenient, central location and it's got everything you could need. 

The dogs were very cute too!"
406911,24858900,2015-01-03,24367431,Matt,"Place was as advertised. Many amenities were provided, including fresh bread, coffee and snacks. Very comfortable environment to stay in and a nice neighborhood as well."
406911,25638192,2015-01-21,5072294,Susan,"My husband and I stayed in Cynthia and Jim's studio for 5 days as we explored Austin for the first time, and it was outstanding. We didn't rent a car, and the location was perfect: 5 minutes' walk to South Lamar, where so many clubs and the Alamo Drafthouse are located (the Drafthouse is a 15-minute walk; places further south are easily reached by bus), and a 20-minute walk to downtown via the Lamar Bridge or the 1st Street Bridge. The Congress Ave bridge (of bat fame, though not in January) is just a little further east. The happening South Congress area is also a 15- to 20-minute walk. 

Cynthia and Jim's studio is cozy and comfortable--exactly as pictured. There's a microwave but no stove, which wasn't a problem for us since Austin is an amazing food town. And Cynthia generously provided all kinds of goodies: Shiner Bock beer, juice, yogurt, nutrition bars,tangerines, coffee every morning, and best of all, her delicious homemade blueberry bread. And Jim was a fountain of knowledge about the music scene--we might never have known about the gospel brunch at Maria's Taco Xpress otherwise! 

I'd happily come back and stay here, and highly recommend it to a single traveler or a couple. 

Get a Cap Metro bus app and a 7-day pass (inexpensive), and you can get anywhere in the central Austin area. 

P.S. Cynthia's jewelry is exquisite, if you're looking for a special memento or a memorable gift."
406911,25960334,2015-01-31,2791807,Anna,"I have stayed in many fantastic airbnb places, but this one maybe took the prize. Cynthia and Jim are gracious, generous and welcoming hosts. The apartment feels like home since the moment you walk in: it's cozy, comfortable, has everything you might need (the goodies left by Cynthia are such a nice touch!), and is packed with (Austin) character. The location is perfect -- right next to the Lady Bird Lake, and walking distance from both 6th street and SoCo. Breakfasts on the porch, and the massage chair after a long day are the cherries on this cake."
406911,26681181,2015-02-17,4969970,Jenny,"Cynthia and Jim's lovely place totally made our Austin vacation! The space is beautiful, the massage chair is a GREAT bonus, the two Aussies are the sweetest dogs and Cynthia is so hospitable - she even made us banana bread! We had such a great time and can't wait to be back in Austin :)"
406911,26825206,2015-02-20,7929682,Katie And Sam,"Cynthia is friendly and welcoming and the apartment is great! It's a great neighborhood with quick access to downtown, Town Lake, and the hotel/convention area. I was there for a conference and could walk to the hotel each day. 

The apartment was comfortable and cozy. I loved sipping coffee on the screened-in porch!

Thanks Cynthia! I'll definitely be back!"
406911,27010729,2015-02-23,27219889,Vivian,My stay at Cynthia and Jim's was everything I had hoped for. They were wonderful hosts. Their home is centrally located so I was able to walk to the Austin Convention Center and the cool shops on South Congress. Homemade sweetbread was the icing on the cake.
406911,27444208,2015-03-04,8108720,Chris,"Cynthia and Jim have the perfect place to stay if you are looking to stay in downtown Austin.  I was in town for the week on business, and their apartment was a wonderful place to stay. My fiancée joined me for the weekend, and we found the location to be the perfect walking distance to delicious restaurants, shopping, and downtown Austin, where a music festival was going on. The weather was usually cold, but the apartment was always warm and inviting. The bed is comfortable to sleep on, there is a sink, microwave and fridge, as well as a wash and dryer if that is needed. Jim and Cynthia were wonderful hosts, as well as their friendly Aussie dogs. Cynthia was so kind as to stock the fridge and have snacks available in the room- she even baked us a huge plate of fresh banana blueberry bread! They are a fantastic couple with a wonderful apartment. If I return to Austin, I will definitely try to stay with them again."
406911,27661520,2015-03-09,27367955,Tim,"Great spot in an excellent location. We rented a car for our trip, but it's walkable to a lot of good food and bars. 

Cynthia made us feel very welcome, was a generous host and offered good suggestions on what to do in Austin.  Thanks!"
406911,27808728,2015-03-12,21968754,Rohit,Cynthia was very welcoming and had also baked some banana cake. Unfortunately my trip was cut short and was quite caught up in the conference and hence could not enjoy her lovely garden/ porch. house is a healthy 1 mile plus walk from downtown. Nice cosy place
406911,27987441,2015-03-16,10850503,Sanjay,"Cynthia was AWESOME. She and her husband were super friendly, and Cynthia even baked fresh blueberry banana bread. YUM. The check-in/out processes were seamless, and the home was LOVELY. Seriously awesome experience during SXSW.  "
406911,28121831,2015-03-18,25509787,Dave,"Cynthia and Jim were awesome.  Communicative, flexible, fun and interesting, respectful of privacy.  I love dogs, and have one, may be helpful to mention dogs will be around (some people are not pro dogs) in would highly rec this place to anyone!  She even had fresh banana bread when I arrived!  Rick stars In the BnB world!"
406911,28301232,2015-03-22,25677046,Kristian,"We really enjoyed our stay at Cynthia and Jim's lovely little cosy place, they were so friendly, welcoming and helpful while the accommodation itself suited all of our needs. The location was also perfect - a 10/15 minute walk away from the wonderful South Congress area, which is cool and happening all year round, but especially vibrant and fun during SXSW. The neighbourhood was fantastic too, nice broad, tree lined trees and beautiful houses, the 15 minute walk either across the bridge into the downtown area or in the other direction towards South Congress was pleasant and easy. Cynthia and Jim are a brilliant couple to stay with as they were really helpful and informative about the local scene and area. Plus Cynthia's now legendary home made Banana bread was a delicious treat that we couldn't get enough of. All in all we had an incredible time and will definitely be back there again in the future. Highly recommended. "
406911,28886822,2015-03-31,28410363,Jan,"We fell in love with the entire Austin experience and were able to walk to most of our destinations from this cozy little cottage.  Our hosts were very charming & friendly, as were the dogs. Cynthia & Jim left us welcome snacks and coffee every morning. We recommend!"
406911,29168264,2015-04-05,1626755,Noel,"Wow, what a wonderful experience! Cynthia, Jim and their son Brendan went above expectations to make us feel welcome in their beautiful home, located in the most charming area in Austin. Drinks, snacks and a freshly baked banana bread were expecting us when we arrived, and we had fresh coffee every morning. The bed is really comfy, the apartment has all the amenities one could need and - ah - that massage chair, the best treatment after a tiring day!

Would definitely stay again!!"
406911,29643813,2015-04-10,5132510,Alfonso,"Great experience.  There was delicious banana bread when I arrived, and Cynthia and Jim were actively accommodating.  I'll be back."
406911,29870074,2015-04-13,239870,Jahved,Lovely location and great massage chair! Cynthia was very attentive and kind. Would stay again. Thanks Cynthia! 
406911,30390953,2015-04-21,19197730,Abel,"We (two of us) stayed a week at Cynthia and Jim's apartment and had a great time.  The space was just as described and our hosts couldn't have been more accommodating.  We very much enjoyed talking with them and they were a wealth of information about the area and gave us many good suggestions of places to go and directions for getting there. Cynthia is a wonderful cook and prepared some delicious treats for us. If you like dogs, you will want to kidnap their two and bring them home when you leave. For us, the location was ideal.  It was close to many attractions but in a nice, quiet residential neighborhood. There was a little traffic noise but it was not at all bothersome.  If you enjoy walking, nearly everything in town is reachable by foot.  We downloaded the Uber app and used Uber cabs for transportation when we didn't want to walk.  During the day, Uber is fast and a very affordable way to get around, but be aware their prices go up dramatically on busy weekend evenings.  All in all, we would definitely stay there again.  And, try the massage chair.  It is great after a day of beating the pavement."
406911,30663427,2015-04-26,8696300,Ben,"Second time here and once again amazing experience. Cynthia is such a gracious hostess and there are such unique and hospitable touches like coffee ready every morning, a massage chair, relaxing wind chimes ... The works! I cannot recommend this place enough! Super communicative too...awesome."
406911,31374582,2015-05-04,31614254,Jonathon,"This was our first time staying at an Airbnb. We really liked our experience here. Specifically, we liked the massage chair, and the ceiling fan that did a good job keeping us cool overnight and the room was a very comfortable temperature. We enjoyed the little touches, including the free, delicious banana bread, and having a fridge stocked with some goodies (a few beers, some juice, some yogurt, etc.). It had a nice shower, too, with good water pressure that heated up instantly, something not every place we stay at provides. We also liked the neighborhood. It was near South Congress street, and walking distance to things like Barton Springs (granted, like a 20-minute walk, but still). Area was also quiet, so you don't hear the revelry you hear closer to downtown.
One con is we would have preferred more opaque curtains or blinds. You are in the back so fairly private, but it would conceivably be possible for a neighbor to look in. Also, the dogs were friendly and we liked petting them, but I'm a light sleeper and one night I did wake up when one of them barked. My wife didn't and it only happened one night, but something to be aware of if that is important to you.
Overall, we really enjoyed the place and would heartily recommend it."
406911,31995014,2015-05-12,2878674,Gregory,"Cynthia was outgoing and friendly but never intrusive. It was a pleasure to get to know her. She provided fresh coffee every morning and baked a delicious banana blueberry bread which she left for us. The room was attached to the house but very private. Location was perfect, very close to the restaurants and shops of South Congress. I would stay with her again any time. Highly recommended!"
406911,32533413,2015-05-19,16550895,Kenny,"I booked a short stay for my parents. Cynthia and Jim were great hosts and made sure they were comfortable. Convenient location, yummy snacks, a comfortable bed, good coffee, and a nice rain shower were just some of the great amenities that were included. I would definitely keep this place on my short list for places to stay in the future. "
406911,33084267,2015-05-25,8377374,Maya,"Cynthia and Jim are superb hosts.  Cynthia called the night before I arrived, left a detailed note for me with all the information I needed, and baked delicious blueberry-banana bread!  Cynthia and Jim are very generous -- the refrigerator was stocked with drinks and yogurts, and a basket of snacks was on the dresser.  The apartment is lovely and comfortable.  Among the best aspects of the place are the screened-in porch (excellent bird song in the early morning!) and the massage chair!  The location is excellent -- it's within walking distance of a number of good restaurants, including El Ana, which makes delicious breakfast!"
406911,33505893,2015-05-29,7225504,Fiona,My partner and I stayed 5 nights and loved the leafy and central neighbourhood location and the accommodation. Cynthia and Jim's hospitality was second to none and they went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. We would recommend this to anyone wanting a comfortable stay with easy access to the Austin neighbourhoods with the most character. Cynthia's famous banana bread also was our saviour most mornings :)
406911,36597265,2015-06-29,7710461,Kate,"Cynthia and Jim were amazing hosts! We had the perfect trip to Austin, largely in part to their hospitality.  The little extras...(including banana bread and other breakfast items) made us feel welcome.  They really go above and beyond for their guests!  We enjoyed the neighborhood and the location was perfect.  We walked to all the main attractions in Austin easily, and at the end of a long day of walking, the massage chair was heavenly! I would definitely recommend staying with Cynthia and Jim, we had a wonderful time!!!"
406911,38055539,2015-07-12,13007061,Terrence,Host was very nice. They made a very nice banana and blueberry bread. Very quiet room with all the amenities anyone can ask for. Nice location in relation to the city.
406911,40635920,2015-08-01,21896295,Cassandra,"The designation ""Superhosts"" does not truly begin to describe Cynthia and Jim. Not only were they warm and welcoming hosts, but they went out of their way to make sure that I was comfortable during my stay in Austin to take the bar exam. Both Cynthia and Jim took time out to get to know me while still maintaining a respectful distance during my stay. I felt as though I was staying with old friends rather than strangers.  

Besides Cynthia and Jim being fabulous hosts, the apartment is lovely. I felt very much at home with all of the amenities provided (the massage chair will be your best friend), and the location cannot be beat! I easily walked everywhere I needed to go, whether it was Downtown for dinner or to a coffee shop on South First. I highly recommend this apartment if you are in town for an event at the Palmer Events Center. A five minute walk down the block and you're there - a major perk for someone who is perpetually late like myself.

Overall, I cannot say enough wonderful things about my stay. I would (and will) recommend Cynthia and Jim's apartment to anyone visiting Austin. You will not be disappointed!"
406911,40983598,2015-08-03,13503754,Joanna,"One of our best AirBNB EXPERIENCES EVER!! Cynthia, Jim, Tango and Che were our favorite host by far. We barley left the massage chair. Would recommend this place to anyone. The location is perfect and we will be back. "
406911,41249588,2015-08-05,38502809,Ally,"Cynthia was a fantastic host! Everything was exactly as advertised, from the great welcome basket of snacks to the homemade banana bread and massage chair (which my boyfriend and I were fighting over each day, it was so relaxing!). This was my first time using AirBnb and if all hosts are as great as Cynthia I will be sure to use it again and again!"
406911,43292354,2015-08-18,3682716,Bree,"BEST AIRBNB EVER

Host: Cynthia and Jim were amazing! They were extremely accommodating and hospitable. They stocked the fridge and baked homemade blueberry banana bread for us when we arrived. They also arranged for us to leave our things both before and after our stay due to our super weird flight schedule. When they found out we were celebrating our birthdays they even gave us birthday cards and flowers! They are incredibly kind and their Aussie Shepherds are just as sweet.

Place: The studio is charming, with lots of sunlight streaming in from the garden. The bed was very comfortable, and the space was just perfect for two. The small kitchenette allowed us to store snacks and make a few meals. It was very clean and filled with amenities. The screened-in porch was really relaxing - perfect to listen to some music (and frogs) and sip some wine or start your day with tea and their beautiful backyard view.

Location: Being a 20-something couple, this was perfectly ideal. A quick walk to Barton Springs and the park. An easy walk or bus ride across the river. And a short ride south to SoCo. The street itself is residential and quiet. The best of everything!

TL;DR: This awesome couple host will ensure your stay in their charming studio filled with amenities just around the corner to basically all you need to see is absolutely perfect."
406911,44144932,2015-08-24,251432,Justin,"What a great experience! I felt so welcome and relaxed after being greeted with fresh flowers in the room and lots of snacks and drinks. I wish I could have spent more time with Jim and Cynthia. They treated me like family. The space is great and having a washer and dryer was awesome! The bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows. The location was perfect! A short walk to restaurants, Barton pool, and day spas. I would recommend staying here to anyone!"
406911,45203274,2015-08-31,36212410,Charlotte,"We had a wonderful time staying with Cynthia and Jim! The apartment is very comfortable and is located in a very quiet neighbourhood with easy links to downtown Austin. It also has everything you could possibly need and more! Cynthia was great at keeping in touch before we arrived and both her and Jim gave us some really useful tips about where to eat and what to do in Austin. We enjoyed chatting to them and fussing their beautiful dogs, who were very well behaved. 

I'd highly recommend staying here and we hope to do so again! Thank you so much for making our stay in Austin so enjoyable :)"
406911,46023450,2015-09-07,2838379,Miranda,Cynthia and Jim were super hosts. They provided banana bread and a basket of treats for our arrival. The apartment itself was clean and cozy and in a great location. It only cost about $7 by Uber to get where we needed to go. I'll echo the other reviews and say that using the massage chair is an absolute must. We'd definitely stay there again. 
406911,47287399,2015-09-17,19474576,Maria,"Cynthia & Jim went over & above in attending to every need I could ever have. I was greeted with fresh banana bread, Trader Joe's snacks, juice, bottled water and more.  The location just blocks away from my conference and I walked every day. It's also just one block from Austin's self-serve bicycles, which I rented and biked the Lady Bird Lake Trail for over two hours.  I could walk to delicious restaurants just across the street. And I'm writing this review from the incredible massage chair.  I'm definitely staying with Cynthia & Jim anytime I return to Austin."
406911,48520444,2015-09-27,39290654,Steven,"A perfect, cozy location, with easy access to downtown Austin. We had coffee every morning, along with some delicious blueberry bread.

It was exactly what we needed for our stay in Austin."
406911,49583633,2015-10-05,28656406,Hayley,This was my first time using AirBNB and Cynthia and Jim were perfect hosts. They were both very friendly and welcoming. The room was actually bigger than we expected and was very comfortable - and Cynthia's homemade banana bread and their comfortable massage chair were the icing on the cake.  I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking!
406911,50426112,2015-10-12,22323322,Anna,"Cynthia and Jim were the perfect hosts. So kind, friendly and generous. My husband and I could not have had a better experience. Anything we might have left home without was provided and Cynthia's banana blueberry bread was such a treat! Within walking distance to Zilker Park and great restaurants.  "
406911,51439328,2015-10-20,580764,Anthony,"We had a wonderful time with Cynthia and Jim! Super accommodating and we even got some tasty pumpkin bread along with tons of local recommendations to check out! Thanks, y'all!"
406911,52342569,2015-10-28,26324765,Sandi,Cynthia and Jim have a beautiful home and were wonderful hosts.  Their place is a short 5 minute Uber ride downtown. The coffee and homemade pumpkin bread were delicious. This has been my best Airbnb experience yet!

1009806,4424446,2013-05-04,3630233,Mike,"Great location in the heart of downtown. Easy access to the river and all things downtown. David was a great host, responding quickly to questions before and during the stay."
1009806,8849588,2013-11-21,2150096,Elizabeth,"Amazing location, easy apartment to access, quiet, and well supplied from stove to extra TP, detergent for the laundry, extra blankets etc! David was a great host. His cleaning lady is amazing as the unit was totally spotless. -- Plus a GREAT yoga studio catty corner across the street.

I enjoyed my stay and would stay there again if I had the need. The reason I gave it 4 vs 5 stars is really just personal - when I travel via AirBnB I like the feel of living like a local. I enjoy the feel of how someone else lives in that city. David's unit has been very effectively set up for a visitor, but to the exclusion of a local flavor (except for the southwest themed paintings by an artist he perhaps knows). So the place lacked a personal character.

I do recommend you stay here - particularly if you are in town for SXSW, ACL, F1 or other Austin events."
1009806,10379221,2014-02-17,10274551,Angie,"We came to Austin for a Psychology conference that was held at the convention center, and the location was amazing! All of our colleagues were jealous that we were even closer than some of the conference hotels. It was myself and two other female colleagues sharing the apartment. David was very helpful, and even was able to arrange additional services for us. He even offered to drop off any supplies we needed, as he happened to be passing through Austin the weekend we were there. I would highly recommend this apartment during your stay in Austin!"
1009806,13846223,2014-06-06,6446846,Marlene,"This space is super convenient if you're doing anything at the convention center - literally a block away. It's also right by the bus line that goes to and from the airport. Good food, grocery, pharmacy, etc. all in walking distance.

The condo was clean and tidy when I arrived. The A/C and various facilities work fine. The bed is comfortable, and there are extra blankets if you need. There are enough dishes, pots, pans and utensils if you want to cook (though I didn't). Overall I found everything as described and am satisfied with my choice.

A couple things to keep in mind: 1) The walls *are* a little thin, so be aware that sound can travel both ways through them. If small noises keep you awake, and/or if you like to make lots of noise yourself, you might want another space. 2) When I was there, it had a little bit of a residual smoke smell. I was able to adapt and it wasn't overpowering (to me), but if you're sensitive to smoke, this also might not be the place for you."
1009806,14565344,2014-06-22,1122108,Andrew,David was a great host. I'm a regular airbnber and had a few more questions than usual this time and David was patient and supportive to help me out. The place is clean and well situated downtown in a nice secured apt complex. The pool was awesome for the hot June days. Definitely would stay there again.
1009806,17626605,2014-08-15,1122108,Andrew,"This is my second time staying in David's apt. It's a great little apt, fully equipped and centrally located. David is great with communication and I would readily stay here again."
1009806,20160248,2014-09-24,21131910,John,Great location! Restaurants everywhere. Only a 3 minute walk to 6th street. And much more reasonable than the sterile hotel rooms down the street. 
1009806,20267067,2014-09-26,6986825,Wayne,"David was a great host.  His place was recommended by a colleague and had everything I needed.

Everything is well organized and clean.  It felt like hotel suite."
1009806,21006938,2014-10-09,2335737,Jon,"I had a nice stay at David's downtown Austin condo. It is literally across the street from the convention center, so that was very convenient for attending a conference there. The condo was very clean and came well equipped. Having a full kitchen and laundry facilities were nice bonuses. I appreciated David's being flexible on check in timing. All in all, it was great. The only downside is that there isn't a table/desk to sit at. There is a small bar with stools, but no great place to work at a computer. But, hey, the convention center across the street has plenty of tables and free wifi! "

Because of good allergies, we also needed a place with a kitchen, so this was great!  David was super quick with communication and answered any questions we had.  Thanks so much!"

1009806,46898442,2015-09-14,26125232,Mary,"David's place was great! His place is walking distance to many great restaurants and bars, a short distance to many different neighborhoods and a short ride from the airport. The apartment was clean, comfortable and fully stocked with clean towels, extra sheets and blankets, plenty of sleeping room, etc.  Check in and check out was easy, and David was very accommodating. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Austin- which will be soon because it's such a great city!"
1009806,50065831,2015-10-09,1122108,Andrew,My third stay at David's place and as usual a great stay. Nice central apt which puts me close to work. All the home comforts you could need. Thoroughly recommend.

1009806,51266963,2015-10-19,3445307,Ros,"We loved David's apartment. The location was fantastically convenient and blissfully quiet at night.  The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable and the shower worked well. Also, for the English, a walk-in closet is a massive luxury! Fab 6th St is just a stroll away. Highly recommended. "

The neighborhood is fairly quiet for the most part and is centrally located to downtown Austin. This was a great value and space on short notice. I totally recommend it!"
5531743,28771827,2015-03-29,84998,Elisa,"I can't express how much we enjoyed our time at Sean's East Downtown Home! I had requested THE DAY OF and Sean was so responsive and accommodating! Driving up to the home is exciting because of its bright and beautiful colors and architecture. The home was spotless and full of unique and comfortable decor. Sean even welcomed us with some delicious chips and local salsa for a snack! I plan on staying here every time I visit Austin. We were able to walk to local shops and bars and even 6th street! I highly recommend staying here when you come to visit Austin. Thanks again for sharing your home, Sean! "

The house is very comfortable and clean. It is conveniently located near great coffee shops, bars, and restaurants east of downtown. 

This was our first airbnb and we were very pleased with our experience.  I highly recommend this home to anyone looking to stay in Austin."

The place is surrounded by some small restaurants and the neighborhood is quite calm, we didn't wake up in the middle of the night for nothing.
Sean was a perfect host, we had some issues on our flight and he answered as fast as he could. When we finally arrived, everything was perfectly clean and prepared for (website hidden): The photos make the house look less cooler than it actually is, it's an awesome place! nicest place we ever seen on airbnb!"

It has a great location in a quiet neighborhood and well within walking distance of a commerce (website hidden) was very accommodating to me and my quests. Would love to stay there again if and when I go back to Austin.
776859,3774866,2013-03-13,5059269,Brandon,"Terrance was a great host. The apartment was practically brand new and clean. There were bottles of water in the fridge and cookies on the counter (nice touch!!). I would highly recommend Terrance to any one!
"
776859,4681742,2013-05-20,3818911,Courtney,"We had a wonderful time staying at Terrance's place! First off, the condo is stunningly decorated and is immaculately cleaned and organized. We felt like we were in an upscale, elegant boutique. The bathroom was furnished with plush towels and luxurious spa items for our stay, better than any hotel amenities I have ever used. The kitchen was stocked with ice, water bottles, treats and red bull for our use. The bedrooms are gorgeous as well and both beds were spacious and extremely comfortable. It is nice that there are two floors with a bedroom on each floor so you can have separate spaces for your companions. The location and neighborhood in Austin is perfect and a cab ride to down town only costs around 11 dollars. Terrance and his roommate were very friendly and accommodated all my requests (which were a lot!), they even recommended some places to visit during our stay. Overall, our trip would not have been the same without the hospitality, generosity and their spectacular apartment. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. "
776859,5061050,2013-06-10,6358563,Jamie,"I stayed at Terrance's condo for a girls weekend before my sister got married! The place was absolutely fabulous!! It was so clean, decorated great, and very spacious. We were able to sleep 11 comfortably with no problems! Terrance was so quick to respond to me during the whole process, price was amazing, and they even texted me to check and see if everything was going well during my stay there! We had such a GREAT time and the condo was in the perfect location. So many great restaurants near by and a cab right to 6th street was only $12 which was completely worth it! One night we drove ourselves and it took 5 minutes to get downtown and be surrounded by Austin's greatness! We had so much fun during our stay and their condo could not have been better! PERFECT weekend get away and GREAT renters that truly care about your stay and time spent! I will use them again in the future! "
776859,5468084,2013-07-01,6885110,Hallie,"The place was perfect, but it was the 'above & beyond' service from Terrance that wowed me, and made me ensure I shared my experience here, for anyone who is looking :) 

Terrance answered my inquiry immediately, and once I'd booked, answered every one of my texts within minutes! He let me stop by a week ahead of time to check out the place, and let me check in 2 hours earlier than policy so I could decorate for the bachelorette party we were having...without charge. He, voluntarily, bought a coffee maker before our arrival, after I text him asking if there was one present...also, no charge. We ran out of batteries for the air mattress pump we had brought and casually text him to ask if he had any stashed in the apartment that we could steal...he replied immediately and didn't have any spares in the condo, but (voluntarily) had them on the doorstep the next morning. Also no charge. Last but not least, Terrance stuck to the flat rate he advertised, regardless of the number of occupants (we brought our own extra air mattresses)!  This saved us, easily, $600+ as 95% of Austin hotels charge at least $35/night for any occupant over TWO.

The condo itself was beautiful (high ceilings, huge sitting area and VERY clean); great location (literally 3 minute cab ride to downtown, Rainey area, SoCo, Zilker Park, and the culinary MECCA that is South 1st); pool was lovely (although seating is lacking for more than about 10 people and only about two ""layout"" chairs; didn't bother us in the least but an FYI); the bathrooms were very clean and there were a ton of fresh towels left for us. **Also (the REAL steal in my opinion)...ample *free* street parking directly in front of the condo!!!! Take it from a local Austinite - this is HUGE. 95% of the hotels within 10 miles of downtown charge $22-$35 PER car, PER night for SELF parking...and the only alternative option- metered parking around town- charge all day, $1/hour with a 3-hour max...meaning you get to stop by the meters every 3 hours to feed them. Cabs are in surplus here, so to not have to deal with the nightmare that is downtown Austin parking, and the potential hundreds of dollars more, was wonderful. 

I rely heavily on user reviews for just about everything and find them IMMENSELY helpful when they're honest, so if I had a single bad thing to say about this rental, I would include it here, without exception...I do not. I'm born and raised here, and know the city inside & out...this is EXACTLY what you'd want for an Austin getaway with friends, SxSW, ACL or football season! This was easy, quick, extremely well priced, hassle free and did not disappoint upon arrival. If you're like me and have to research EVERY possible option before committing to one - save yourself 2 hours and book this - you will not find a better value!"
776859,5628754,2013-07-08,7273234,Julia,"I highly recommend Terrance's place in Austin!!
We have a group of 15 people staying here for 2 nights last weekend with very great experience and memories. The rooms are clean, tidy, and cozy in a modern style with everything included.  And Terrance is pretty nice and thoughtful , we will come back in the future if there is another chance heading to Austin !!

776859,6084313,2013-07-29,6990096,Christine,"This is a great place to stay especially if you are bringing small dogs. My shih tzu's loved being able to walk around right outside the front door on the soft grass without being afraid of too many cars around.  Also, this condo is really close to many restaurants and downtown."
776859,6442865,2013-08-12,7893369,Chioma,"Not only was Terrance responsive and helpful, but he was very personable too! The Condo is in a peaceful, clean neighborhood and the space was very clean and well kept. All nine of us were nothing short of comfortable. I highly recommend not only this condo, but Terrance as well. He's great :-) "
776859,7009952,2013-09-03,6120971,Robert,"Terrance was great.  Very quick to respond to any questions I had, and the candy he put out was a nice touch.  The accommodations were comfortable, too.  The location is within walking distance of the South Congress district, which is pretty happening.  I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit Austin."
776859,7327608,2013-09-16,7420603,Chelsea,"The Condo was beautiful, the location was very convenient, and the beds were comfy... much needed after a long night on 6th street. We went for a bachelorette weekend and had a blast! I definitely recommend Terrance. He was super nice and responsive, he even extended our check out time. Thanks for everything!"

776859,8583553,2013-11-06,8523563,Ben,Beautiful residence. Was clean and we easily fit 10 people here. Pool was nice and it was very close to everything in ATX.
776859,8987885,2013-11-30,10181528,Manas,"I would not have asked for a better place than this. Beautifully done up, clean as whistle big enough to accommodate my 15 member group. And the best part, it was close to all the major locations in Austin!! Terrance was really helpful, accommodating and a wonderful host! Thank you so much for this amazing Austin experience"
776859,10035702,2014-01-27,8586532,Nicholas,"We had a group of 14 in Austin this past weekend and enjoyed our stay at Terrance's place. With a few extra air mattresses, we were able to give everyone a comfortable place to sleep. The condo is very modern (and very new), and had most of the amenities of home that we could ask for. The condo is in a nice little South Austin neighborhood with a grocery store right around the corner (H-E-B) and a bus stop just a short walk away ($2 to ride all day) that will take you right into downtown. Loved the location. Thanks for hosting us...Keep Austin Weird!"
776859,10261170,2014-02-10,10255312,Ashleigh,"Terrance and his condo were great! I had a ton of questions leading up to our stay and he answered all of them. He was very flexible with our coming and going, and had the place super clean when we came in. The location was fantastic!! Quiet area and only a $12 cab ride to downtown. We had 11 people stay in the condo and we fit comfortably. I would definitely recommend it for both small and large groups! "
776859,10997387,2014-03-17,6029441,Norman,"It was an amazing place to stay. Very comfortable, spotless and centric from Downtown and many places. The owner was always available and providing constant communication when needed. Would definitely stay again at this place in the future."

The condo was perfect for the bachelorette weekend I planned. Great location, very clean and new, and absolutely precious! We had a blast and I would definitely suggest renting from Terrance to anyone looking for a place. "
776859,11342372,2014-03-31,10033729,Ashleigh,We came and stayed with 13 ladies for a great weekend!  Terrance was extremely helpful and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at his place and would do it again. Thanks for making our stay easy.

776859,12280742,2014-04-28,10124514,Patrick,"We stayed at Terrance's for a bachelor party weekend. Terrance was nothing, but accommodating. The place was very nice and well kept, and the location was great. I would highly recommend to anyone. "
776859,12378069,2014-04-30,11468869,Riccardo,"Lovely, new and beautiful house !! The location is perfect, 3 minutes driving from 6th Street and walking distance from Continental club and El guero. We found everything we needed in the house and Terrance has been very friendly. Very very good place in a lovely town."
776859,12810112,2014-05-12,7812501,Lexie,Hosted a bachelorette party at this condo and we had a wonderful time! It was clean and comfortable and Terrance was really easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this condo to any large groups. It was really easy to get to/from downtown. 
776859,12984070,2014-05-16,14896263,Jackie,Overall great stay! Plenty of room for our party if 10 and location was a $10 cab ride to downtown. Highly recommend!
776859,13064132,2014-05-19,3630144,Jay,"Terrance is a great host and his condo worked really well for our Austin bachelor party. The space accommodated 8 guys rather comfortably, and Terrance went out of his way to get us an extra blowup mattress to ensure we were happy. 

Go with Terrance!"
776859,13340828,2014-05-26,7747818,Grace,"This condo was perfect for our girls getaway! It is very close to South Congress shopping and not a far ride to downtown.  We even took the city bus one night to save money on transportation, and the bus stop was about a 5 minute walk. There is a grocery store right around the corner too! We had a group of 11, and the condo fit us all.  I am so glad we found this condo for our trip! It was awesome!"
776859,13558281,2014-05-30,12135835,Aubrey,"Brooke and I absolutely loved it!! Tristen was suuuuper nice, smooth with check in and communication. I would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone wanting a nice trendy place to stay with great location!"
776859,13727737,2014-06-02,16020855,Leslie,"Had a great family trip in Austin and everyone had a wonderful relaxed time at Terrance's place.  Two story condo with downstairs equivalent of a good hotel room and upstairs fun, modern, spunky decor.  Short driving distance to all the good stuff.  This was our first Airbnb experience and very positive with good memories."
776859,13963710,2014-06-09,14881577,Hilmer,"Had a great experience. No issues with check-in and checkout. The condo was clean and AC worked (email hidden)pecially in Texas in the summer. We had between 12-15 people and while there is not enough bed space to sleep that many, air mattresses were available along with extra sheets, etc.

The condo is in a great location in South Austin. The front lawn was great for just hanging out, playing washers, etc. The Condo grounds also has a small pool available for use."
776859,14447898,2014-06-19,1857645,Ilana,"Terrance was a wonderful host. His condo was super clean and he was extremely generous to leave us out plastic cups for us, clean towels, jelly beans ;) and more! The condo is super modern and the beds and air mattresses were extremely comfortable. We fit 13 people extremely comfortably and had a fabulous time. The neighborhood feels safe and so close to downtown and soco. I would definitely recommend a group to stay here for a fun night!!! Thanks Terrance!! "
776859,14725682,2014-06-24,12135835,Aubrey,"I've stayed a hand full of times and I absolutely LOVE it every time. Trendy, clean and love the location. Terrance is the best, honestly I couldn't ask for a better host! "
776859,14805936,2014-06-26,414088,Pete,"Terrance was a great host! He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The place was spacious, with two large bedrooms and lots of floor space for the air mattresses (which he provided). Being two blocks from the So. Congress busline, it made travel into downtown Austin extremely easy. This condo is perfect for a large group looking to use it as a home base for a weekend in Austin. Lots of food/activity options all over the city, and plenty within walking distance of the complex. "
776859,14983629,2014-06-30,13506847,Jeanie,"Terrance was amazing! And his condo is just as awesome! We were in Austin for a bachelorette party with a group of 8 girls and his condo accommodated all of us just fine. The condo has everything we needed (pots,pans,aux for music, a few toiletries, towels, sheets,etc). But more than anything Terrance was an amazing host. He was extremely diligent about responding quickly. I would definitely use his place again in Austin. That's the other thing, the condo is located close to all the unique food trucks in Austin and it's very close to downtown so our can rides were no more than $17 with tip. 

Again, great place and would definitely stay again! 

Thanks Terrance! :-)

776859,16521669,2014-07-28,18220596,Shane,We rented the house for my wife's 30th bday getaway in Austin. Terrance was super polite and he had the house fully prepared for us right on time. The interior looks just as awesome as shown in the pictures. His responses were quick and clarified all of my questions. The house was so close all of the must go see places in Austin. I highly recommend this house or other listings thru Terrance to everyone. Thank you Terrance!

Terrance was a great host and I know we will definitely be contacting him for our next trip to Austin. Thanks again for everything!! Oh and it really was almost exactly a $10 cab ride to 6th street, which was great. :)"
776859,18371579,2014-08-25,8439110,Danny,"I had a two day stay with Terrance along with 10 others. Terrance was quick to reply and professional at the time of booking. 

When we arrived at the house, the bottom room had ants on both beds so we didn't use the room. Two of the three air up mattresses were not functional. Left a voicemail for Terrance the next day. He brought over two new mattresses late at night but there were still ants in the room. By the next day ants were also upstairs. There were six beds in the condo as opposed to the seven (website hidden) was a messy situation and I told Terrance about it upon check out. We did not agree on the terms of the stay and I wanted a refund. He did not believe there were ants in his apartment. We had to go through a resolution request from Airbnb to make the final call. It was a bit frustrating emailing back and forth and dealing with the issue. It was satisfactory in the end and they provided me with credit for my next stay with AirBnB. The only reason I received this was because I provided a video of the ants, otherwise according to Terrance 11 people were making the ant problem up. 

It was an unfortunate experience, however, Terrance seems like he takes care of his guests. The place was in a good location and besides the incidents described it was as listed. Maybe, it was a bad weekend.. 

I wouldn't stay at this location again given the circumstances but you can take a look at the other reviews and make your call. "
776859,18873852,2014-09-02,4134040,Kaitlin,"Terrance was an amazing host! He was super flexible with arrival time, even though I changed it on him last minute! He was happy to give a quick tour of the place, and left plenty of keys for a very large party of 13 girls. I should probably mention that there were enough sleeping spots for ALL of us, too. We were delighted to have access to his washer and dryer, and even enjoyed a few meals in thanks to his fully stocked kitchen. Toiletries were provided, which was an essential detail as most of the girls checked bags on their way to Austin. True to the profile details, we could get anywhere we wanted for a $10-$14 cab ride. It was also so easy to walk to Torchy's Tacos and HEB. Lastly, he was an excellent communicator. The weekend would not have been as wonderful without these accommodations. Thank you, Terrance!"
776859,19110578,2014-09-06,20871722,Giselle,Easy breezy! Just how I need it! I can't tell you how awesome this two bedroom is... Super comfy and tons of room!!! I am already planning an event where I bring people from the Valley and we all stay at Terrance's. Lol... love how cozy it is!!
776859,19638422,2014-09-15,5272322,Ryan,"Terrance was very speedy to respond, both with reserving, confirming, and also correspondence during our stay. He was quick to provide us with extra linens upon request. His condo provided ample space, including a number of air mattresses for our large group. The pool was awesome, and we were the only group in there for much of the day. Ample parking, though the location is a quick cab/Uber to airport and downtown."
776859,20096089,2014-09-23,2739703,Devin,"Terrance was a top notch host. He was attentive and quick to all of our questions - there were extra towels, shampoo and conditioner. The spot was clean and represented by the images well. All of the extra air beds helped us sleep 13 without issue.
Beware that taxis are junk in Austin and it's worth renting a car straight from the airport."
776859,20412669,2014-09-29,8034451,Jorge,"We had a fantastic stay with Terrance. The entire experience was immaculate. Terrance went above and beyond to accommodate me, and 10 others. He was always professional and courteous, and quick to reply.

The condo is super nice, almost too nice for 11 guys, but it worked out great. The location is hard to beat, the beds are comfortable, and all the amenities worked fine. We had the condo for about a week, and Terrance stopped-by midweek to restock towels and other things. I highly recommend Terrance, and the condo.   "
776859,20680554,2014-10-03,21931174,Nathan,Great place. Just as described. Terrance was a great host!

Check-in and everything was a breeze. The condo itself is a two-bedroom with three beds and lots of blow-up mattresses, which fit my group of 10 easily. There's a nice kitchen and an open space for hanging out with a TV and nice speakers. The location is just south of Oltorf St. in South Austin, not far from S Congress Ave. Perfect for us!"

776859,21954183,2014-10-27,21226843,Tasha,"Great location, about a 20 minute walk to the main shops/restaurants on South Congress. Condo was very spacious and roomy for a group of 5 women, could certainly accommodate more if needed. Two large bedrooms and bathrooms helped make the stay drama free :) "
776859,22164763,2014-10-31,12216226,Tanya,Wonderful location and beautiful condo!  So close to downtown and soco areas. Thanks Terrance for being such a wonderful host!
776859,22297928,2014-11-03,6065676,Nicholas,"Terrence was a great host.  He allowed us to check in as soon as we arrived from the airport and even offered up a few beers from the fridge.  The condo is hip and clean.  However, I would not agree that this place is suitable for 16 adults -- there are two bedrooms and a living room; space is limited for the air mattresses.  We had 9 people in our party and it was tight.  Plenty of pillows, towels and hot water, but BYO blankets.  Nice, quiet, safe neighborhood.  Quick Uber ride downtown.  We also visited during F1/Halloween and the rate was much higher than other weekends.  "
776859,22501072,2014-11-08,22885332,Chadwick,"It was even better than what I expected. Terrance does a great job of taking care of the place and providing all of the information needed in advance. I will definitely be booking here again the next time I come to Austin.
The location is perfect by the way. It's 10minutes from anything and everything. I believe a big part of why I had such a positive experience in Austin was because I chose to stay here."
776859,22884920,2014-11-17,20732666,Sara,"We rented this condo for my best friends bachelorette party for 13 girls and it was just as I expected and more! Since we had multiple girls coming from 3 different states instant payment was difficult and Terrance was able to work something out with me months in advance, he was also VERY prompt in replying back when we had any questions. Not only was the location AMAZING but the cost was the best I'd seen and I searched for months. I was a little worried about checking out on time Sunday morning after Saturday nights events and all of us sleeping in late but Terrance was able to let us have a evening check out time which allowed us to get the place all nice and tidy. Oh and the upstairs bed, I seriously didn't want to sleep in my own when I got home because it was trash compared to the one that was there, SO comfortable! Also, everywhere you could possibly need to go is only 10-15 minutes away!"
776859,23709941,2014-12-08,23953216,Rayna,"Staying here was one of the best decisions my group made about our destination girls weekend. The condo was clean, we had all our basic necessities, and plenty of pillows and towels.  Terrance was great to rent from- easy to get in touch with, but not in the way at all. The location was amazing within a mile of so many local businesses. If I ever plan a group weekend in Austin again, this will be the first place I look into."
776859,23809120,2014-12-11,20369982,Janey,"Having never booked anything other than a hotel before I was apprehensive to rent somebody's home for a few days, especially for a group of 14 people! I needn't have worried as Terrance's place was amazing.

Beds were provided and the place was clean, tidy, modern and as described.  Everything was only a short walk away and the area was pleasant to walk through.

I couldn't recommend terrence more. Thank you for making our holiday in Austin so memorable :)"
776859,24604811,2014-12-31,8946150,Ian,Terrance's place was a great fit for our stay in Austin. It is very close to neighborhood food/trailers as well as downtown. We were always able to get a parking spot on the street. Our host was easy to communicate with when we ran into a few issues and had questions. Everything was handled well.
776859,25854135,2015-01-27,24298373,Chris,"My friends and I were looking for a place to stay in Austin that was reasonably priced, close to downtown and could accommodate all of 7 of us. Terrance's place fit this criteria perfectly. We did not spend more than $15 for a cab ride to any of the places we were interested in visiting while in we were in town. Terrance was a great host and accommodating our requests immediately. I would recommend his place to anyone who is interested in staying in a nice, clean condo with easy access to downtown Austin."
776859,26210931,2015-02-07,24445069,Matthew,"The home was great, we had a group of six and we fit here comfortably. The house was clean when we arrived and Terrence was very accommodating and fair. The house is walking distance to some good tacos and a short drive to all of the amenities downtown. We would definitely stay again!"
776859,28383154,2015-03-23,16113486,Lindsey,Terrance was a great host - very responsive to all of our needs and super helpful. One of our air mattresses had a hole in it and Terrance immediately came by to bring us a new one. Place is exactly as described and in a great location.

Terrance was a perfect host and was easily reachable and helpful! The condo was perfect to accommodate all 10 of us comfortably. Access to the store, bars, restaurants were in walking distance or a quick uber ride away. Would definately stay there again!!!!!"
776859,29825946,2015-04-13,23397325,Alex,We had the best time staying in Austin! Terrance was such a helpful and gracious host. He was very cool when we showed up early to drop off our bags and he kept in touch all weekend whenever we had questions. The apartment fit 10 girls very comfortably and we were under a $10 uber ride from wherever we wanted to go in Austin. 
776859,30067038,2015-04-17,5231213,Megan,"We had a great stay at Terrance's condo - there was plenty of room for all of us, and it is in a very convenient location. We were able to walk to lots of restaurants, bars and shops. Terrance was also very quick to respond to questions we had while we were there. I would happily stay there again the next time I am in Austin. "
776859,30283556,2015-04-20,26683935,Kate,"Terrance was great! He was there way before we arrived and met us at the door! The place was immaculate!!! Smelled very good inside!! The pictures of the condo were right on. In fact I didn't have the address right on hand and because of the pictures I immediately knew which condo was ours. Also he was very prompt in returning the deposit, and the overall exchange of money was made very easy. This is a very cute neighborhood and very close to everything we did (Congress & 6th Street). I would love to stay here again! "
776859,30468494,2015-04-22,21023049,Rose,Host was welcoming and worked with us on check in time and allowing use of the garage for bicycle storage. The description was accurate and there were a few bonus decorative items that make this house fun. The neighborhood was great close to downtown and lots of bike able places and food nearby.
776859,31295142,2015-05-04,27232722,Claire,"Terrance was a great host, was informative, and kept things simple for us. This was my first experience booking a place to stay on vacation so I was clueless, but he made it pretty easy. We were impressed with the Candy Condo and it held 16 girls with very little problems. He had to help us out with the air conditioner because it kept going to the ""away"" mode the first day we were there, but once he fixed that, it stayed nice and cool. One of the air mattresses had a hole but we just had 3 girls sleep in the king bed instead of 2, but the other beds and air mattresses and couch were great. The pool was awesome and our group loved it!  The condo is wired to play music wirelessly throughout it which was awesome too! We didn't walk anywhere but everything we went to was a 5 minute drive. Overall very happy with my decision to stay there!"
776859,32233779,2015-05-16,27559743,Sorin,"The condo was amazing!!! I rented it for a bachelor/bachelorette party and 16 people stayed comfortably at the house. There were plenty of of air mattresses, blankets and towels and having 2 large bathrooms definitely made getting ready much easier. The house also had a surround sound system that we could listen to music through. Everything was able to be set up super easy!! Terrance was amazing with communication and went above and beyond for a host. I will definitely be renting from him again next time we visit Austin!!"
776859,32674828,2015-05-20,26865303,Amy,"Location was great! Right in the middle of lots to do, or within a quick driving distance. Host made sure that we knew everything about the place, including air conditioning, where to find cleaning supplies, how to work TV and music, etc. The place was clean and just like the pictures. There was even an app that allowed you to play music through surround sound speakers straight from your phone! Overall great experience and would definitely recommend.  "
776859,32946056,2015-05-23,16586356,Elizabeth,"This is a beautifully well presented, neat, tidy, clean and appealing apartment with lots of interesting decor. We were about a 20 minute walk through a lovely neighbourhood to the shops, restaurants and bars of South Congress (surely the best area of Austin?). The use of a keypad instead of keys is very useful for a large group. If you are planning on taking a large group I would recommend that you only take people that are very close and comfortable with each other as you will be sleeping in extremely close proximity. We had a group of eleven which, once the air beds were up left no communal space (we also used the hallway for one of the air beds). I think a group of sixteen would not be particularly comfortable. Terrance was an excellent, communicative host and provided all information thoroughly and efficiently. The huge tv and sound system is excellent for a group weekend!"
776859,33023653,2015-05-24,5831711,Jaime,"Terrance was a great host, very easy to communicate with.  This place is great for big groups, super easy and low maintenance! Thanks for the great stay"
776859,33284925,2015-05-26,26386766,Elena,"Terrance was a great host.  He was quick to answer multiple questions that we had about the condo and in a timely manner (we are new to using Airbnb).  He stuck to his word and did not end up charging us the cleaning fee (we did a pretty good job of cleaning up with 16 people).  The condo is very modern and included every amenity that Terrance offered.  The space was a little tight for 16 people, but definitely doable if you don't mind sharing close quarters.

All in all, it was a good experience."
776859,34411779,2015-06-08,18004886,Lauren,"Our stay at the condo was wonderful! 14 girls fit comfortabley in the house. Plenty of space for everyone for sleeping and getting ready. The pool in the area was a great spot to hang out. The condo was in a great location and easy to walk to grocery stores or coffee shops. 

The best part of our stay was Terrance. He was an amazing host. We had a little hiccup with the A/C not working to its fullest, and Terrance made sure to come and get it fixed IMMEDIATELY. Not to mention, he brought us some goodies to make up for the inconvenience. He truly went above and beyond for us and made sure our stay was as seemless as possible. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone, especially those with a large group! "
776859,35086410,2015-06-15,29892535,David,"Great condo, was perfect for our 14 person bachelor party.  Terrance was easy to work with, flexible, and responsive.  Definitely recommend."
776859,36294272,2015-06-27,15576259,Ben,"Great location, plenty of street parking, good price, excellent speaker system. Terrance was responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our stay!"
776859,36530181,2015-06-29,437854,Catherine,"Staying at Terrance's was the best decision I've ever made on Airbnb. His place was awesome and completely provided everything he said it would and more! The place was clean, spacious and in a great neighborhood. Terrance is super reliable, easy to coordinate with, and very professional. He was an amazing host with excellent communication before, during and after the trip! I stayed here with 14 people for my bachelorette party and it was perfect. Highly recommend!! "
776859,38187184,2015-07-13,36671508,Thien,"We had a terrific time at Terrance's condo. The condo is spacious and full of amenities with good location near downtown Austin. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived, and when we had any questions, Terrance answered right away. We definitely come back!

"
776859,40154536,2015-07-28,7277214,Erica,"What other nice things can I say about Terrance that hasn't been already said by other reviewers?

Terrance was amazing to communicate with, instantly reachable through phone, email or texting. Really patient, understanding and flexible with whatever needs we had - including dropping off more toiletries that our 9-person bachelorette needed in the middle of our weekend. 

The home itself was lovely and clean. The surround sound from the Sonos player was awesome. Giant livingroom TV with AppleTV hooked up. And the dinosaur lighting was neat (you'll see what I mean if you stay here). Soft king-size bed but also firm full-sized beds available. Lots of stuff in the kitchen to use, such as a tea kettle and shot glasses and dinnerware. It also helps when there is good interior design taste. I would say a party of 10 people would comfortably sleep here. Also, the pool within the complex was a really nice edition especially for evening swims. 

The neighborhood is a safe area, and close to everything to fit basic needs.  We rented a car because we couldn't be bothered to walk 7 minutes to Torchy's Tacos in 95-degree weather, so that was a 1 min drive. Great coffee (5 min drive). 24-hour market called ""HEB"" just around the corner (1 min drive). Fun foodie and night areas are 6th Street or Rainey Street (10 min drive). If you can rent a car, then great. If not, then Uber/Lyft are your friends. Pro tip: Lyft is having an awesome $100 promo for newbies to the app and to Austin.

I'd be honored if Terrance would have me back in any one of his homes!"
776859,40956653,2015-08-03,37051214,William,Terrance was a wonderful host. He was very helpful through the entire process and very quick to respond to any question or concern. The descriptions and pics of the condo were right on the money! Everything about our trip was great!
776859,41961066,2015-08-10,10397410,Sherry,"Nice, clean and spacious condo in a great location, what else could you ask for? We stayed here with 7 people for a bachelorette party and it was perfect. Short Uber/Lyft ride to South Congress (it was too hot to walk) and downtown.

Terrance was a great host! He was easy to communicate with, helpful throughout our stay and worked with us on check in/out time. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again! "

Anything and everything you need or want to do is right there. Terrance was a fabulous host! He was great at communicating and answering any and all questions we had all weekend. He made everything about the stay super easy. We will keep this place in mind again for future visits! "
776859,44132578,2015-08-24,11817500,Camilla,"Terrance was super helpful in making my bachelorette weekend fun, easy and comfortable for everyone! We were eight ladies and all fit comfortably. It really felt like we were staying at a friend's house. Terrance's instructions were super clear and helpful and we had everything we needed! Certainly a weekend that will live on in our memories for a LONG time :)"
776859,45067459,2015-08-31,33206494,Madeline,"Terrance was very accommodating! He was great to plan with, and the house was a wonderful location. I never spent more than $10 on a lyft/uber. I would stay here again if the opportunity arises! "
776859,45703645,2015-09-05,28863758,Michael,"A group of 14 of us stayed at Terrance's condo in Austin.  Terrance is the most professional host I've ever had on Airbnb.  Everything is accurately described in the description and the condo is in a great location to explore and reach downtown.  The condo is clean, modern, and spacious, even for 14 people.  Any issues I had, Terrance solved right away and was very helpful.  Would definitely stay again!
"
776859,45946203,2015-09-07,25418112,Carley,"Our host Terrance was amazing, and so was Cody!! The house was exactly as described and he couldn't have been more helpful! He was available if we needed anything and was supes chill!  We had a group of 15 and slept comfortable with the addition of airbeds. Really close to everything we wanted to do in Austin! Would definitely recommend this place. "
776859,47572099,2015-09-20,28712464,David,Great place. EXACTLY as described. Location is literally 2 minutes off of south congress. 
776859,48505050,2015-09-27,35823070,Jill,"He was very helpful and responded to my messages in timely manner. Condo was close to the events and places we wanted to go to, very convenient. "
776859,49775990,2015-10-06,40013264,Elisabeth,"Terrance was a terrific host who was constantly checking in to make sure we were stocked with towels and toiletries. We appreciated that we had sunscreen, a hairdryer, etc all available to use! The home itself is clean and comfortable. We had 10 girls in our party and were very comfortable. Everything is very close in Austin, and any uber/taxi ride is inexpensive. The ability to walk to South Congress was an added bonus! Definitely recommend this property for groups - especially over ACL! "
776859,49943623,2015-10-07,45365103,Brandy,"Great rental!  And, great location!  Will definitely seek to stay here again the next time we are in Austin. "
776859,51063234,2015-10-17,6443781,Hung,"Terrance's places was like described. My group only stayed there for a short few hours, but the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of air mattresses. Located in easy access to everything downtown in Austin.

The only thing that we were questioning is if no cleaning fee is charged, and we're asked to make the beds and leave with everything exactly like how we found it, is if there is actually cleaning involved between rentals. Most rentals ask us to strip the beds or just leave everything."
4341443,23559695,2014-12-04,23277751,Astrid,"Mein Gastgeber war klasse! Wir wurden so offenherzig aufgenommen und allles wurde genauso hergerichtet, wie es gut für uns war. Sam hat sogar eine Rampe für meinen Sohn gebaut, der Rollstuhlfahrer ist! So konnte er ganz locker auch zu dem abendlichen Lagerfeuer draussen kommen - 1000 Dank dafür. Er hat sich so gefreut! Und Sam ist ein super Gastgeber - wir haben das leckerste BBQ der Welt bekommen mit smoked pork chops - yummmiiieeee. 
Das Wohnviertel ist wirklich sehr schön, grün und ruhig, und eine gute Nachbarschaft. 
Also - das nächste Mal in Austin werden wir auf jeden Fall wieder dort wohnen."

4341443,50175064,2015-10-10,23198853,Fang,It was a great experience to stay with Sam's family. Sam's bed and BBQ was my favorite part. Every weekend Sam will surprise you with some smoking ribs or pulled pork. Trust me they are really goooooood.

1645161,28071803,2015-03-17,6744902,Morgan,"We loved staying at Debbie's home in East Austin! Here are some highlights.

The house:
The house was beautiful and historic; we loved that we got our very own skeleton key for the front door. The rooms were spacious and we enjoyed her CD collection, playing music with the front door open at night. Beds were really comfy and everything we needed was in the kitchen. We fit five comfortably but keep in mind there's only one bathroom. 

The neighborhood:
East Austin is perfect and charming. The house is only a 10-15 minute walk to 6th street and the convention center. There are plenty of good restaurants and coffee shops within 5-15 minutes walk around there too; Blue Dahlia, Cenote and Easy Tiger were our favorites and were really close. It was just far enough away from the crowds to be quiet, but close enough to be walkable.

The host:
Debbie was great! She was so thoughtful, leaving a bag of her favorite coffee beans for us in the kitchen and walking us through the history of the house. She was also easily reachable if we needed her. We felt like we were saying goodbye to an old friend when we left!"
347935,1014603,2012-03-18,1782538,Katherine,Amber was amazing! The place is perfect for sxsw - location and size. We had a great time. Thanks!

6129446,31835872,2015-05-10,32217248,Pradeep,"Gigi was awesome from the get go. From Responding to Queries prior to booking to making sure she was there to greet us (even though we were running late!) when we first checked in. The place is clean, well maintained and very organized. We loved our 5 day stay here, safe neighborhood, parking, and most importantly - just minutes from DOWNTOWN! Good price for a one bedroom apartment that comes with a full kitchen, a good full size bed and all basic amenities (includes W/D)"
6129446,32396796,2015-05-17,3028432,Mark,"Gigi was an excellent host and her condo is stylish, comfortable and in a fantastic location. Great restaurants, coffee shops and bars very close by. "

6129446,37087079,2015-07-04,16357934,Elaine,"Gigi's apartment is so delightfully stylish! My fiancé and I stayed here for 4 days while we explored Austin. The location was perfect for us -- close to Barton Springs, South Congress, Town Lake, and food trucks! She was super easy to communicate with and we found the apartment to be quite comfortable for us! It is tucked in the back of a small apartment complex so it is very quiet, too. Would definitely stay here again if we return to Austin!"
6129446,46066340,2015-09-07,11492840,Jeff,The apartment was incredibly clean. Very comfortable and in a nice location to get around. Close to the down town bus line was a great bonus.

6932061,42463068,2015-08-13,39853094,Barbara,"The SOCO studio is wonderfully like a loft.....with its high ceilings with paddle fans, spacious and airy feeling.  Jeannie and her husband are friendly and thoughtful hosts, yet only there when needed.  I loved the privacy, the kitchen, the comfortable bed and living area. Mornings sitting on the deck amongst the pecan trees was a pleasant spot to have my morning tea. The lovely neighborhood and well-designed space was a perfect place to stay for my week in Austin."
6932061,47173113,2015-09-16,7647125,Jason,"Jeannie is as good as GOLD! If you want to see what real Southern Hospitality is all about, she is as good as it gets : )

I would recommend renting a car or getting Lyft (half off right now) as we are a tad bit on the outskirts of downtown (1.2 miles) 

Cheers

Jason & Spencer "
6932061,49158270,2015-10-01,7647125,Jason,Jenny is the best!
6932061,52314580,2015-10-28,27877081,Sarah-Jayne,"Jeannie and Don were the perfect hosts. Friendly and informative right from the start, they went above and beyond to ensure that we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Austin. They gave us information about places to eat and how to get around and their passion for their great city is clear! We couldn't fault the room, it's a fantastic self-contained studio which is so much bigger than it looks on the pictures...there's more than enough space for a long stay if that's what you need. The studio was extremely clean with all modern amenities...they have thought of everything to ensure a fantastic stay. This was our first Air bnb experience and we can only hope that future stays with other hosts will be as enjoyable as this one. Our only wish is that we could have stayed here longer! "
6932061,52964669,2015-11-03,7559519,Molly,"We stayed in Jeannie's studio in South Congress for 3 nights.  We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again!  Despite only being a studio, the apartment is very spacious (well-stocked kitchen, living room with two couches and a TV, bathroom, bed, walk-in closet, and two sun-porches), and has super high ceilings which makes it feel even bigger.  The apartment was very clean and well-appointed (the furniture is clean and modern, and Jeannie had it stocked with coffee, tea, yogurt, cookies, and a variety of other conveniences - this was a nice perk!).  The apartment is set off the street in the back garden of the property, so it's quiet and feels very private.

The neighborhood is lovely and very convenient to restaurants, coffee, shopping.  Long-ish walk (20 minutes maybe?) to all the shops on South Congress Ave, or a very quick drive.  About 10-15 minute drive to downtown.  

Jeannie had great communication with us, and met us at the house when we checked in.  She was there if we needed anything, but she let us have our privacy - a great Airbnb host! "
5602667,28105488,2015-03-17,7228390,Marc,"Nate was a wonderful host. First of all communication was very easy and quick. The apartment itself is great. Simple, clean and handy, just like on the photos. Nate took good care of me, was leaving me coins for the laundry room and coffee for his coffee-grinder. I hope to stay at Nate's place when I come back to SXSW in 2016."
428255,47789349,2015-09-21,7206340,David,"Jane was really accommodating. I told her last minute that I would be arriving late, and she arranged for me to pick up the keys from her neighbor. 

The place was great, and I was able to ride a bike or grab a quick ride to everything I wanted to check out. The neighborhood is quiet and has a couple of restaurants and convenient shops.

I enjoyed the apartment and the city! Thanks Jane!"
428255,48436448,2015-09-26,3211873,Randolph,"Jane has a great place. Clean apartment with peaceful vibes, books, and everything you need and then some to make you feel you are at your favorite cousins apartment. We really liked the neighborhood. We had a car so quick trip to downtown or across to SOCO. But neighborhood has some really nice restaurants two blocks away and parks nearby for running.
Highly recommend James place !"
428255,50491131,2015-10-12,24689788,Dawn,"Jane (and Pam) were awesome hosts! We felt completely at home in her apartment during our stay. She provided us with plenty of local recommendations and links to local transportation. The apartment is very conveniently located both within her neighborhood (literally just a hop over the the grocery, coffee shop, and some very nice restaurants) and within walking distance to the city. I will definitely stay with Jane again!"
7818619,51984987,2015-10-25,22240456,Rufin,"Max was super nice and helpful. The apartment was great. Location was perfect, just 5 minutes from Rainey St and Riverside area. "
8169751,46241462,2015-09-08,41736846,Eugene,"This location was amazing! SO many things within walking distance. Pluckers, Red Mango and Barley Bean right across the street. Cain and Abel down the street. Food truck park a couple blocks away. Everywhere esle we needed to go was  a $5-10 Uber ride away (6th Steet or Rainey Steet). We had a great time. Jeddy always responded right away with anything we needed.  Would absolutely stay there again!"
8169751,46685800,2015-09-12,18843445,Freddy,"How can I say anything about Jeddy that hasn’t been already said in his other reviews? He was clutch during our last-minute weekend trip to Austin. 
The listing description was as advertised, and the location is perfect. The bedroom is huge and slept everyone comfortably, and it was awesome having brand-new(!) beds, sheets and towels. I feel spoiled now. The place was clean and nicely decorated, and while it would have been nice to see more than basic furnishings, we weren’t short on anything and you really can’t beat what you get for the price. We were worried about noise but the place is super quiet despite being located in the middle of everything. Jeddy helped us park for free in the garage across the street and helped us in a flash whenever we needed. I will definitely stay here again and I recommend Jeddy to all my friends visiting Austin.
"
8169751,47337584,2015-09-17,16139607,Sean,"Awesome experience with Jeddy again. I have AirBnB'd with him in the past and it was a wonderful experience. This time was just as good if not better! The location is awesome, the place was clean, and had everything I needed. I would definitely AirBnB with Jeddy again he is an A+ host!"
8169751,47857435,2015-09-21,43039988,Michelle,"Jeddy was a wonderful host.  He was very available to help with any questions we had leading up to our trip and during our stay.  Checking in and out was very simple, too!"
8169751,48230068,2015-09-24,2092091,Brigid,"My stay in Austin at Jeddy's apartment was fantastic. It was a lovely spacious and clean apartment, and the sheets were to die for! If Austin wasn't such a fun city I would have stayed in bed all day.
The location is perfect, lots of restaurants, bars and shops nearby. And all the buses on Guadalupe St are less than five minutes walk.
Jeddy was a great, friendly host as well, gave us helpful advice on where to go and directions. 
My stay here left nothing to be desired, can't wait to return to Austin and stay here again!"
8169751,49291311,2015-10-02,44119956,Shannon,"Jeddy's apartment was great!  Very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. Although it is near the campus the area is surprisingly quiet. Great location to walk through the the campus and capital. He even gave us a great recommendation for a sushi dinner. I even gave them a great Yelp Review it was so good. Jeddy was very responsive and a great host. Would totally stay again!!! "
8169751,50033641,2015-10-08,484092,Gina,"My experience with Jeddy was great! He was very friendly and attentive. The apartment is really lovely and big, I stayed by myself but it could easily fit a group. The building is quiet and has lots of great amenities. There are plenty of cafes, bars, restaurants, and grocery stores on the street and nearby. I was working at UT Austin so the location was perfect. I would definitely recommend staying with Jeddy!"
8169751,52135275,2015-10-26,45045687,Vincent,Jeddy was very accommodating and was very easy to work with my travel schedule. He also was super helpful when I couldn't get the TV to work and came over to fix it. 
4436163,23984239,2014-12-15,7174849,Brigette,Kendra was warm & welcoming.  We enjoyed the little cottage-so cozy & comfy!  The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the location absolutely can not be beat!  We will return!
4436163,24511211,2014-12-29,6555585,Matt,Kendra made the whole process very simple...and she wasn't even in town! This is a turn-key cottage all to yourself in a great neighborhood of Austin. We'll stay here again anytime!
4436163,24870565,2015-01-03,3867082,Alison,The bungalow was cute and homey with everything we needed! We drove throughout the different neighborhoods of Austin very easily from here (parking on the street was always available). We also appreciated how responsive Kendra was whenever we needed help!
4436163,25154753,2015-01-07,2335852,Jimmy,My wife and I had a delightful single night stay at Kendra's Hyde park bungalow. The bed was particularly comfy. I would definitely stay here again!
4436163,26614443,2015-02-16,18082594,Timothy,"This was a great place for us. The bungalow is cozy. The location is great for taking in what Austin has to offer. Lots to do just a short walk away. Street parking was no problem. The neighbors were quiet (no loud music/parties). We had no need to contact Kendra, but she made sure we knew she was available. The accommodations are old, but clean and comfy. We slept great on the bed. We will book again if the two of us can sneak away for another weekend."
4436163,26760939,2015-02-18,26619381,Neil,"A good place to stay in Austin. You have a nice house and we found it an excellent base to explore Austin from. Our communications via airbnb were very good and quick which made our lives easier. As someone else said, the bed's super comfy and the other facilities are good too. "
4436163,26809594,2015-02-19,9962264,Katherine,Kendra was very nice and welcoming. She was available to answer all of my questions and quick to respond. 
4436163,27072263,2015-02-24,12434906,Ally,My boyfriend and I had a lovely time at Kendra's lil back house. She was sweet and the place was comfy. It did get super cold though and the single space heater didn't really keep us warm enough as it was a bit drafty inside. But the neighborhood is very beautiful and it's super close to downtown :). And her recommendation for Quack's bakery was spot on! Went there almost every morning for coffee and a muffin.
4436163,27217810,2015-02-28,7499932,Megan,"I would highly recommend staying here. The place was very cute and cozy, and had just about every thing we needed for our stay. We couldn't find a wifi network, but that was not important. The neighborhood was just what we hoped (as we are considering moving to Austin and this hood). The only thing that made me anxious is that I didn't hear from Kendra until the day before, whereas I usually get a reply from the host once they've accepted the reservation. Though once I did hear my mind was at ease."
4436163,27477635,2015-03-05,27241725,Claire,"We chose to stay at the Bungalow because of the location--which was fantastic. Kendra left the heaters and radio on so we were comfortable when we arrived. The Bungalow itself was more than enough space for two of us and the check in/check out processes were flexible and simple. If you're looking for a place in Hyde Park, this is an excellent find. "
4436163,27735636,2015-03-10,28170937,Amelia,My friend and I had an amazing experience staying here! Very central to everything (an easy walk or drive to great shops and restaurants). The apartment is quite charming and cozy. Kendra was very responsive and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends! 
4436163,28740900,2015-03-29,20581535,Stephanie & Victoria,"Bullet points: Awesome location, Kendra was accommodating, basic needs were met, comfortable bed, not right for us. 

With all if those points said, I do not think we would want to stay again but enjoyed the experience for the most part.  We arrived and one of the roommates asked to search for something in the suite and she was really nice but we didn't actually meet Kendra until the next day. The preparations were delayed so we hung around the area until 5:30 pm, granted we said we would get there around 7pm so no biggie.

We got there, threw our stuff down, put our food down on the counter and relaxed for a while. When we went to snack on our bread, there were dozens of ants on it, on the microwave, in the kitchen. We tried to clean it a bit and took our loss with a grain of salt.

When we went to bed, I noticed ants all over our toothbrushes and on the sink so we tried to clean all of that up and at that point we were a little frustrated and let Kendra know what had happened.

Kendra was very apologetic and told us where to find sprays and that the previous person left it a bit messy so we just took it with another grain of salt. Very much to her credit, she came by the next day and dropped off some raid and some wine, which was very nice.

The shower was pretty small since we are plus size so it was a bit cramped. When the blinds are open, there is zero privacy in any direction but perfectly fine with the blinds closed.

The neighborhood was amazing and would be awesome for a single traveler without a car due to so many buses. Also we had to park in the street so it may be better to not have a car.

Overall, it wasn't the right fit for us due to the reasons above and bad circumstances but the suite looks to be constantly improved and was very beautiful so if you are looking for a comfy bed and a roof, it is well priced and in a great location."
4436163,28906816,2015-03-31,2728498,Peter,"Kendra's space was perfectly located for our needs. My girlfriend and I are both vegetarians so it was great to be within walking distance of Mother's Cafe and Garden. We also walked to Quack's Bakery a couple of times for coffee. Hyde Park is an absolutely beautiful neighborhood. Kendra had the window unit and great music on to greet us, so we felt perfectly comfortable and welcome as soon as we arrived. Thanks Kendra!"
4436163,29017681,2015-04-02,16646913,Desireé,"Kendra was great to communicate with and allowed us to check in and out at times that worked for us with no hassle at all. The place is small, but it was a decent size for the two of us. There is no stove, so had we stayed longer than one night that may have been an issue. It was clean, overall. The shower is small and the bathroom doesn't allow any provacy, really. This wasn't a problem for us, but may be for folks with other circumnstances.

The location was great and quiet. The places we needed to go were very easily accessible from the apartment.

It is very small, and may be a tough spot to stay for folks wanting to spend a lot of time in there. "
4436163,29319773,2015-04-06,25145776,Adam,"The location was central to Austin, with a trip downtown being split by the university. I wasn't there very much, but everything was advertised and Kendra was available over text, if needed (which I didn't). Cute decor in a nice 1 bedroom. Located behind an older house, it was very quiet and peaceful. Internet worked, which was important for me, as I was on a business trip. Walk to Stubb's/6th is about 50 minutes. I really liked the neighborhood and parking was immediately availble around the corner. All in all, a great experience. Thanks!"
4436163,30389588,2015-04-21,12360140,Marisol,Great location in Hyde Park with lots of options for food and coffee nearby. Comfy and cozy space! Planning to stay there again!
4436163,31107415,2015-05-02,4951512,Cady,"I stayed at Kendra's for a few days when I visited Austin for the first time. I spent a lot of energy looking for somewhere to stay that was comfortable but still somewhat affordable, and I was impressed when I came across this posting. The photos looked comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect.

Unfortunately, there was some discrepancy between the pictures and reality. The bathroom was pretty dirty, there was no wifi (not a huge deal, but the posting did say they had it).

My mom was supposed to stay here with me after a few days, but when she came we decided to just go somewhere else. A recently-graduated college kid doesn't need anything fancy, but I think she deserved something that was clean and comfortable.

The location was truly wonderful, and the bed was really comfortable, but it was hard to get past the cleanliness issue."
4436163,31818115,2015-05-10,23915791,Matthew,"If you're looking to explore the culture and city of Austin, I'd highly recommend staying here. We enjoyed the stay here during Austin Psych Fest, and were coming in town from Wisconsin to experience real local music and explore the community I've enjoyed for years now. We especially enjoyed just walking through the neighborhood to visit great places like Juiceland and Quacks Bakery (highly recommended). She also thought the place was cute - so it was also refreshing to find a place that doesn't look like a man cave.

If you're looking for a sterile hotel room, with no character, room service a pool and continental breakfast, look elsewhere. Pick this place if you're open to enjoying the overall experience of Austin, and aren't planning a stereotypical visit or business trip.

We were also really happy to walk in and have the light on, which helped us find the place and feel welcome. If you're planning on leaving something - leave tea. I was blown away by the selection there. Also, composting - I was happy to see it. 

Overall - Great stay! Would highly recommend it for those who appreciate the character of airBnB stays."
4436163,32056484,2015-05-13,29314602,Heather,"Kendra was a great host. Her accommodations were clean and comfortable. She was available by text, but we didn't need her. The decor was fun and artsy. I would definitely stay again. "
4436163,32291268,2015-05-16,10558646,Holly,"Cute place, comfy bed. Unfortunately saw roaches. "
4436163,33078389,2015-05-25,12360140,Marisol,"We just stayed in Kendra's place for a second time and really enjoyed the location and ease. Cute, cozy, and comfortable!"
4436163,33615038,2015-05-30,30169128,Nicole,This was a quick in and out trip to Austin and this bungalow was perfectly located for easy access to where I needed to go.  I did not feel like I was interrupting anyone with my late arrival and early exit.
4436163,33854595,2015-06-01,31661372,Taylor,"This little bungalow was so adorable and just what I was looking for to experience Austin.  When we got to the house, it was just as described, and easy to locate.  There were cozy lights left on inside and the radio was lightly playing - I found my new favorite radio station!  The bed was very comfortable and the window A/C units kept it comfortable despite the humidity.  The place was very tidy and decorated exactly how a young person in Austin should decorate.  The bungalow is situated behind another larger house that is occupied by some lovely girls that were really helpful and friendly.  They gave great recommendations on eateries and activities nearby, and even let me tag along one evening when they met a large group of friends for dinner.  The home is near the university, but not too close.  There are cute coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance that I loved taking advantage of.  

The description states that a kitchen is available, but we found that there was only a hotplate so cooking meals wasn't very easy.  I did notice that the bathroom had a lot of tiny ants that were attracted to my toothpaste, so I found them crawling in my toothbrush.  I'm not a clean freak and I camp a lot, so I just took this with a grain of salt and rinsed 'em down the sink.  

The listing shows the checkin/out as flexible, which I interpreted to mean we could come and go at reasonable times on the arrival and departure dates, but Kendra let me know the day of my arrival what the times would be.  This was a bit inconvenient for my arranged flight times, but I was able to store my luggage in the main house which was a huge help."
4436163,33931900,2015-06-02,10551161,Lisa,"Kendra was always quick to respond and the place was just as described. Great location in a nice neighborhood, perfect for our overnight in Austin. Convenient to leave for the airport from there the morning we checked out as well. Thanks Kendra!"
4436163,34518717,2015-06-09,22266937,Anne,"Fabulous location. We enjoyed being right in middle and a part of the Hyde Park neighborhood, within walking distance to the Hyde Park Grill, Mother's, etc. The cottage is very private, was delightfully cool and Kendra provided us with what we needed. Thank you!"
4436163,35244655,2015-06-16,34314264,Sue,My host did not contact me or make any inquiries about my stay or if I needed anything.  She did not return my text about the A/C not working.
4436163,35737356,2015-06-21,35242585,Michelle And Andy,"it was lovely to walk in to the lamps on and music playing , its in a lovely location and easy to get into town.  "
4436163,36727489,2015-06-30,35823342,Derek,"Location, location, location. No matter where I wanted to get to in Austin it was literally no more than 17 minutes away. The campus is within walking distance though I don't recommend doing that during a Texas summer! Great bakery for morning coffee a 5 minute walk through a very Austin-esque residential area. Apartment itself was neat and ready for my arrival which was late at night. The lights and the AC were on as well. I used it primarily for sleeping,  cleaning up and short rest stops between exploring runs and as such worked perfectly for me.  I recommend leaving a light on if you are out at night as it is set back and not the easiest place to find."
4436163,37455484,2015-07-07,19702201,Suzanne Marie,"We enjoyed our stay at Kendra's bungalow. It was perfect for us! After driving 10 hours it was nice to be welcomed with lights on, cool a/c & low music playing on the radio. 
Wow - Conveniently located in a lovely neighborhood & a close walk to several great restaurants, Julio's is beyond delicious! We loved Austin & plan to return this winter when the weather is cold & the winter gets long in the Ohio Valley. 
Thank you Kendra for helping make our time in Austin more wonderful. "
4436163,37927798,2015-07-11,37726151,Guillermo,Great trusting host. Clean anf tidy place. Great neighborhood and easy access to town. Would recommend and stay again 
4436163,43432737,2015-08-19,18072485,Issac,"The place was as advertised. I arrived at Austin pretty late but no problem checking in, and checking out was very easy as well. I needed a bit more extra time checking-out and Kendra was nice to give me that time as well. Highly recommended."
4436163,43586778,2015-08-20,41611021,Mike,"Ok. I hate to do this. But I'm new to airbnb. This was only my second rental. My comments are not meant to be mean or spiteful in any way. The pictures and descriptions are simply misleading. Imagine that. Something untrue on the Internet. First. It says ""The heart of Austin"". Most people would assume walking distance to all the cool eateries Austin is known for. This property is closer to the colon of Austin. Maybe the gall bladder. But certainly not the heart. Ok. I can let that pass. When I pull up to the house, it's a little run down. Needs some work. Some paint. But. It's an adventure. Right? But the house wasn't the property. The lean to shed behind the house was the property. I wish I could download the picture of this place. It was absolutely disgusting. Crack houses are more inviting. I promise I do not exaggerate. A picture says it all. But you know what.  It's an adventure. Right?  Inside was bad but not as bad as the outside. But compared to the pictures on line a complete fabrication. Totally misrepresented. The final straw is I couldn't park anywhere close.  Had to park two blocks away   Very sorry to write this. But will be more careful with future rentals.  "
4436163,46959750,2015-09-14,28371688,Mike,"Nice, comfy place just a few minutes' drive from downtown Austin. A/C unit keeps the bedroom nice and cool and the home was clean when we arrived. Parking on adjacent street is easy and hassle-free. Thanks for a nice stay!"
4436163,47237930,2015-09-16,10610120,Lindsay,The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4436163,47791370,2015-09-21,16266948,Bethany Hunt,"My husband and I stayed here the weekend we were married. It was the perfect little Austin hide-out for us in a beautiful and quite neighborhood. Kendra was so thoughtful, she had congratulatory champagne and chocolates waiting for us. The house had lamps on and music playing upon or arrival. It isn't a brand-new space but we loved staying there! We definitely recommend!"
4436163,48243337,2015-09-24,44541442,Chelsey,"Kendra's place was just as described! Very cute, clean, great location. My friend and I needed a relaxing place to sleep after a concert in town and this was the perfect spot for our needs. I would definitely recommend her place to a friend and could see myself staying there again. "
4436163,48963731,2015-09-29,27905094,Cameron,Place was clean and neat. Good location. 
4436163,50054411,2015-10-08,3004701,Brian,"This wonderful little house in the backyard in Austin was a really great stay. I needed something last minute, and Kendra was very responsive and quick to help me out. It's cozy, the bed is really comfortable, and there's a nice miniature but totally useable kitchen. Kendra was even very gracious when I went off the grid for a week but forgot to leave the house key behind. I would definitely recommend this place, it's in a fantastic location and is a really great price!"
4436163,50621608,2015-10-13,15523411,Andrew,"The cottage is in a great location and my wife and I were easily able to get in and out of the city.  We enjoyed our stay and the cottage does the trick for a quick visit.  Checking in needs improvement.  The host mentions flexible check in time in the listing but we were told a day before we left that it would not be cleaned until 4:30 p.m.  Our flight got in at 10 a.m.  but she said we could drop our things off anyways.  Fine.  When we made it to the cottage from our flight, there was no key to get in so we were not able to drop our things off or rest until it was cleaned at 5:00.  We had been up since 5 in the morning and this was a let down.  Also, we found that the pictures are a bit misleading as well.  It was cute enough just not as advertised.  One of the 2 available bath towels also had paint stains on it.  I hate to leave a review like this because overall we had a nice time, it's just a few things that could have been improved upon."
5581618,27979331,2015-03-15,4730169,Magic,"Place was awesome, thanks so much for hosting. Sydney was supper nice and kept a clean scene. Cool little room "

5581618,28155285,2015-03-18,29443950,Michael,"Sydney is awesome! And so is her place. The location was just off 6th street, and she even provided a parking space. The vibe was Zen/hip, and included a mellow doggy and at least 1 cat running around. There was a nice relaxing second story porch to chill and sit in a hammock.
Sydney was very friendly, and mellow, and I would highly recommend you check it out!"
5581618,28493266,2015-03-24,29065480,Scott,"Hi, a wonderful quite street, just off West Elm Street and off of 6th street.  An easy and fast bike ride and nice walk down sixth street to the Live Music Capitol Of The World.

Room was private and a great view of the courtyard.

Beautiful recently built home. 

Scott"
5581618,46097142,2015-09-07,37183697,Ben,"Sydney was a great host, even though we never met in person. Easy to keep in contact with via the app. Gave me heaps of information on Austin that was really helpful. The room was awesome plenty of space and the bed was so comfortable. House is really cool setup too. Location in excellent in close proximity to 6th St. About $10 uber from the greyhound station. Thanks for an awesome stay in Austin Sydney really appreciate it! "
5581618,47435656,2015-09-18,29001053,Midori,"楽しく滞在させてもらいました。彼女も、彼女のフィアンセも、そしてルームメイトも、みなさん優しくていい人でした。彼女が教えてくれた、近くにあるメキシコ料理のお店もとても美味しくて気に入りました。ただ、動物が苦手な人には向かないかもしれません。もし、犬と猫が好きだったら、とてもオススメです。

It was geat experience staying at Sydney's. She, her fiance, and their roommate are all so nice to me. I also liked the mexican restaurnat down the street. But if you don't like animals, maybe this is not for you. If you like dogs and cats, you will feel very confortable staying."
5581618,48812579,2015-09-28,44460881,Greg,"The room was quite lovely and was perfectly located to get everywhere I needed.  I somehow managed to miss the host, but had no problems getting in and out, and Sydney's animals were very accommodating."
5581618,51393701,2015-10-19,5151157,Tom,"Both Sydney and her place are great. The neighborhood is quiet, and there's a nice coffee shop down the road. Be aware that there will be roommates and pets and other Airbnbers around, but that's all part of the fun!"
5581618,52134308,2015-10-26,42730836,L,"Sydney was a great host, as well as her roommates! Very friendly and personable, gave me tips for around the town. House had a very cool setup, neat & clean. Lovely home. Good location, a quick uber ride $6 to downtown. Great experience as this was my first airbnb."
4403855,25780511,2015-01-25,18316636,Ashley,"I found this place less than 24 hours before I needed it, and was pleasantly surprised when Mitchell responded very promptly and got the reservation finalized. Mitchell was very helpful in setting up check in according to our needs, and also making sure the place was ready when we needed it. He also wrote a lengthy email with recommendations on places to go and things to do, which was a bonus! The house itself is amazing. New construction guest house behind a main house, beautiful inside. Two beds if needed, plus living room area with a full kitchen and bathroom, full size washer/dryer, big tv with cable. Parking on street was available in addition to driveway. Short and inexpensive über to 6th or South Congress, but great restaurant, coffee house, pharmacy with burger place inside, and liquor store all within 5 minute walk. Definitely recommend staying here with 2-4 people, or small family. Will be coming back and looking this place up again!"
4403855,26258299,2015-02-08,12143442,Grace,"Mitchell and Erika were friendly and welcoming, and of course did a great job with their guest house. The location is ideal: it's well-located for short drives/Uber rides to everywhere we wanted to go in Austin, and a short walk to great restaurants. The guest house itself was clean and new, with fun Austin-themed decor. It was equipped with everything we needed for our weekend stay; when we asked for additional items, Mitchell and Erika quickly brought them by. My friend Crystal and I would highly recommend staying with them!"
4403855,26685327,2015-02-17,2214820,Alexander,"This is a perfect escape for a couple or small family in a very central/walkable location in Austin!  The house was impeccable, nice appliances, furniture, decor, local art, and attention to detail that made our time there extra special.   Everything is brand new and the beds are amazing.  The kids enjoyed staying upstairs in the loft, while the adults had the privacy of a bedroom with door.   Though we are locals, we used it in order to accommodate visiting family and will definitely repeat the experience!  Erika and Mitchell were ideal hosts--prompt in their responses, warm, and available before, during, and after the stay.  They made it all easy!"
4403855,26927931,2015-02-22,25822207,Dani,"Mitchell & family were great hosts to stay with for our first airbnb experience. Their casita is fantastic and they made us feel at home; definitely somewhere I would stay again. He had great insight on places to hit up for food (Terry Black's brisket, Nau's [breakfast tacos], Caffe Medici [iced coffee/toddy's]) and a handful were less than a 5 minute walk away. Downtown is walkable (about a mile give or take) and we would head out on foot for part of the day and catch an Uber when we found ourselves on the other side of downtown. His place was clean with high quality amenities and would be perfect for an extended stay with a washer/dryer, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher and oven but we chose to explore Austin more. :) There were only 2 of us but could easily accommodate 4 guests!

Some of our other favorite places in Austin were 24  Diner, Halycon Coffee, the bars on Rainey Street, Second Bar + Kitchen, Casino El Camino [burgers were awesome], Hope Outdoor Gallery, & Austin Bike Tours. 

Austin's a great town & we'll be back again!"
4403855,27653590,2015-03-09,26760635,Andrew,"Mitchell was very accommodating, able to give good recommendations and provide anything we needed."
4403855,28383436,2015-03-23,25919474,Mikaela,"Best Airbnb experience EVER! Mitchell and his family were wonderful hosts and made us feel totally welcome while staying out of the way. Two of us stayed for all 11 days of SXSW. Guest house was just as advertised and more spacious than we anticipated. Could have easily housed 4 or 5 people. Everything was brand new and impeccably clean with plenty of towels, toilet paper and paper towel. We didn't run out of anything, which is amazing for such a long stay. The washer and dryer and dishwasher were a huge plus for us. The yard was beautiful and the location was excellent, just a 5-10 minute bike ride from downtown or a 20-30 minute walk. Uber was only around $5 to the convention center.  We cannot say enough nice things about this experience. Given some of the run-down, sketchy places we've stayed in Austin over the years, there was literally no comparison. But, this stay was definitely on par with some of the nicer 4 and 5 star hotels we've stayed in around the world! Beds were comfy and it was quiet and private. We mostly just slept after the long days, but did spend one day at home working and it was quite lovely in the living room with the french doors open. Had to use both air conditioning and heat thanks to Austin's weird weather, but the units were fabulous and keep us happy. Only small complaint would be the couch which wasn't very comfy. It was fine for sitting but you wouldn't want to sleep or nap on it. Which wasn't a problem since there were two private bedrooms! Great restaurants, grocery store and coffee shop all around the corner. Thank you for making our stay in Austin so wonderful!!"
4403855,28968237,2015-04-01,20757391,Joshua,"Mitchell is a great host. Their Guest House is fantastic. Private, easy to find, great parking (I didn't arrive until 11:30pm - no problem, as the key is in a lockbox). We would definitely stay there again in the future. The guest house is well equipped and has wonderful french doors on the side that allow you to welcome in the warm air."
4403855,29303118,2015-04-06,10518192,Polly,"Great little guest house, close to downtown Austin and around the corner from it's own local charm. Everything you need and then some.
"
4403855,29616108,2015-04-10,28876089,Melinda,"This place is fantastic.  Mitchell and Erika were fantastic hosts. Located in a perfect spot with great coffee, grocery and milkshakes within walking distance. We will be back! Thank you!"
4403855,29741653,2015-04-12,28184537,David,"Mitchell is a great, accommodating host. The guest house was the perfect size for my Father and I, and I loved the separate loft area for some privacy. All of the amenities were on point as well as Mitchell's recommendations. "
4403855,30880271,2015-04-28,26007449,Pamela,"This place is an absolute gem!  Everything just sparkles and we couldn't have been happier with the place.  It is so quiet but so close to all sorts of good things - excellent coffee shop, great bike shop, cool local grocery store (really good beer and wine selection too!).  You can walk to most anything you like - we walked to Whole Foods two or three times and there are a bunch of art and antique galleries  that you can pop in to on your way.  You can rent really nice bike from the bike shop and then ride to Zilker park and a natural spring where people go swimming and the Greenway trail.  It was absolutely the best - we plan to stay here anytime we come back to Austin.  (I forgot to add - the frig and freezer had ""provisions"" - that was an unexpected and nice surprise! )"
4403855,32015540,2015-05-12,29600318,Melissa,This was a great little spot!  Erika and Mitchell were very welcoming and kind.  The guest house is very clean and comfortable and was perfect for our family of 4.  We loved being able to walk to local spots too!
4403855,32362441,2015-05-17,14375571,Kate,"Mitchell and Erika were absolutely fantastic! They gave such great recommendations for places to go in the neighborhood, they were incredibly welcoming, and the house is absolutely beautiful! It is extremely comfortable and stylish! The neighborhood is fantastic – so many great restaurants within walking distance, and you are just a short ride or a long walk away from lots of fun stuff. We had an amazing time in Austin and much of that has to do with how fabulous this place is! This might be one of my favorite AirBnB places I have ever stayed!"
4403855,34213978,2015-06-06,4530725,Pilar,This is a great little guest house.  Set-up works well for 2+ people with comfy bed in loft.  Wonderful location and very helpful hosts.
4403855,34850369,2015-06-13,29242413,Rob,"This was the best possible place for us to stay in Austin. The location was so quiet and peaceful. The house was beautiful and everything we needed was there, especially the A/C, which was a blessing, and the washer/dryer . The bed was, unlike most hotel beds, comfortable. The location was perfect for us. We were able to arrive, pull the key out of the lockbox, and move in without any fuss at all. I would recommend this airbnb location without reserve."
4403855,36439843,2015-06-28,32419642,Jaime,Very welcoming and responsive host.  A very nice guest house in a fantastic neighborhood.  Thank you for a wonderful stay!
4403855,45005935,2015-08-30,42079266,David,"This is a wonderful little space.  I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you want to stay in Old West Austin/Clarksville.  The hospitality was fantastic!

Years ago, we use to live around the corner from this place...between the house, host, and neighborhood, our stay here just felt like home. 

Thanks so much for the great weekend!"
4403855,45959222,2015-09-07,13040779,Bailey,"Mitchell's guest house was the perfect place to stay in Austin. The place was spotless, decorated beautifully, and contained pretty much anything we needed (towels, iron, hair dryer, extra blankets, stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, etc.) He even left us two beach towels at my request since we wanted to check out Barton Springs! Mitchell was so accommodating, he was going out of town the weekend we were in town, but he made sure to check on us before he left. Their backyard is AMAZING and he told us to feel free to sit out there at night. The neighborhood is very nice in West Austin and it had that quiet neighborhood feel but there were still plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. I would definitely recommend Mitchell's guest house to anyone visiting Austin, I will probably try to reserve it again next time I go back!"
4403855,48194024,2015-09-24,24113203,Loyce,"Mitchell's place is impeccable. VERY well done, with the most surprising little details like hideaway storage and a mini-dishwasher. This on top of features like a washer/dryer unit, outdoor space, and a bonus loft! They do a lot with such a small space. I've stayed in a number of garage apartments and, while convenient, they can feel cramped. Here you can really spread out and even get privacy from any companions. It was also great to be back in my old neighborhood (I adore West Austin) and loved my short stay so much that I'm going back for 2 weeks!"
4403855,50273619,2015-10-11,34764227,Emily,"Mitchell and Erika were very accommodating and responsive. They always replied promptly when we had questions about the trip, and they were flexible with our check-in/out time, which we really appreciated. The casita was wonderful and perfect for 3-4 people. It was really close to Zilker Park and downtown Austin. We felt very safe walking around the neighborhood at night as well. I would recommend this Air BnB to anyone!"
8083389,47010904,2015-09-14,22197387,Jennifer,"Carrie is a fantastic host - everything you would want when finding a place to stay. She went above and beyond to make sure our trip went well, and made It a priority to help us save money and find a new listing of hers when we had a last minute change to our trip. The home itself is stunning - interior decoration makes you feel at home but also like you're in a museum; great comfortability all around from the bed to the living area. You won't regret staying here or at any other listings Carrie has, I promise. "
8083389,47781717,2015-09-21,33303435,Tyler,"Gorgeous house in the best part of Downtown Austin. The pictures don't do the house justice. Will be back again the next time we visit Austin. Thanks, Carrie!"
8083389,50469559,2015-10-12,22194452,Ryan,The house was perfect. I couldn't have asked for for a better place to stay in Austin!
3920081,20077209,2014-09-22,21572209,Stephanie,Ruby was very nice and very attentive. Communication was great. I plan to book with her again soon.
3920081,20592497,2014-10-01,12353535,Shanil,"Ruby and her husband Rafael were both excellent hosts. They had a nice looking house in a good neighborhood. Every thing looked exactly as nice and comfy as in the pictures she has posted. The room I was allowed was on upstairs and in fact she allowed me to use entire upstairs as my private space. The room was pleasant,  bed was comfortable and it had an attached bathroom.  

They gave me a spare key and allowed me the perfect privacy I needed. Whenever I needed any inputs about the city, they gladly offered it. Ruby also made nice breakfast & coffee and kept on a table just outside the room and messaged me about it. All in all I got an excellent stay at their place and I was glad that I chose to stay there. I would love to stay there in future as well. "
3920081,20844205,2014-10-06,9720280,Bharti,"Ruby and her husband's home is amazing! Super open, friendly and very accommodating. Everything was spotless and clean, and their cats cats are fluffy and fun! They made our first stay in Austin leaving us wanting to comeback to this genuine and friendly place! And we will! Thanks again R & R and Ruby the Kombucha was divine!"

3920081,21366668,2014-10-15,21487298,Alonso,It was a wonderful weekend in her house. She is too kindly and great person. I would book in her place again. Ruby and Rafa are a really nice couple ;)
3920081,21694374,2014-10-21,6225888,Arjun,Ruby and Rafael are very hospitable and helpful hosts. The house  is very peaceful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice play to stay in Austin.
3920081,21935404,2014-10-26,22932185,Danielle,"Superb.  Wonderful.  Peace.  Comfort.  This B&B is what makes Austin the coolest city in the country.  Ruby has a younger, cooler, and hipper Martha Stewart vibe going on at her place! 

Slept like a spoiled child in a fancy mattress, and then was awoken by the call for breakfast.  Oprah doesn't have it like this.

Look forward to staying again soon...

3920081,22461598,2014-11-07,17346789,Christine,My stay was wonderful! I would come again. Very clean and very friendly 
3920081,22813935,2014-11-15,20850760,Stephanie,"This was my first airbnb experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Ruby and Rafael's place lives up to the description- very peaceful and desirable. Also, I felt that I was in an Anthropologie store- the decor of the place was modern yet simple, and it smells good! My favorite experience was the homemade breakfast and bath soaps that Ruby made; her homemade carrot ginger juice was so refreshing, and super delicious! The homemade bath soaps had roses in them, and I felt pampered as well- I felt like I got the royal treatment. It was also my first time sleeping in a tempur-pedic bed, and I feel inspired to buy my own one day- what a difference it can make in sleep! Rafael and Ruby are both very friendly people, and I highly recommend them for future guests. Again, thank you Ruby and Rafael for offering your home to me and other travelers; you two are amazing hosts!"
3920081,24642565,2015-01-01,22567657,Lauren,Ruby and Rafael were wonderful hosts during our stay in Austin. The room was very clean and breakfast was provided every morning and delivered to our room. We will definitely stay again if we're travelling through Austin. 
3920081,25781197,2015-01-25,26542161,Arturo,"Hosts made us feel welcomed during the whole stay and the bed was super comfortable. The neighbourhood was not too close to downtown, but at a good distance and very quiet. Would definitely recommend. Also, they make really good coffee."
3920081,28205914,2015-03-20,14473066,Bob,"Ruby and Rafael were very cordial and gave us several suggestions
on local eating places.  We visited several of those restaurants and
found them to be excellent.  The room was comfortable and the
tempurpedic  bed was great!  We would definitely recommend this
location!  "
3920081,28434347,2015-03-23,19314919,Steve,"This was our third Airbnb booking and Ruby made it very easy.   We did the Instant Booking.   Accommodations were great.  First time on a bed like this, super comfortable.   Clean house,  bedroom and bathroom. The house is located in a nice suburb just north of Austin with fast access to the freeway and downtown Austin."
3920081,28734457,2015-03-29,254741,Katy,"This was my first airbnb experience and it could not have been better. 
Ruby welcomed me to their spacious home.  I was in Austin for a friend's wedding and their location in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the freeway worked out perfectly. 

I had forgotten by blowdryer, but no worries, the room came with one plus other toiletry items. 

I loved the keyless lock system to the house - one less key to lose : )

Thank you Ruby and Rafael - you were great hosts.

3920081,29130798,2015-04-04,1503022,Regard,"Ruby and Rafael are a nice and friendly young couple. Both of them are really helpful and we did spend sometime chatting. Their house is clean and tidy. I feel very comfortable for my five nights stay. My friend and I spent sometime at the upstair lounge area as well as their backyard. It gave us peaceful vibe and de-stress after a long working day. I mentioned to them there was a shower drain problem, they fixed it within 5mins. Always appreciate the host cares about their guests. Two thumbs up!!
If you have time in the morning, definitely try out their special coffee. Yum yum yum!!  For sure I will return for my next visit. =)"
3920081,29861981,2015-04-13,28659699,Taka,This was my first time using this service and Ruby and husband were so welcoming! The room was perfect just what I needed. It looked just like in the pictures and a very quiet nice neighborhood. Being a single women I felt completely  safe. Ruby even made me handmade soap. It was almost too pretty to use but greatly enjoyed it! It was really nice having my own private  vanity in the room. Definitely give this one a try!
3920081,30886945,2015-04-28,20850760,Stephanie,"Ruby and Rafael once again holds the award for best host in my airbnb experience! This is my second time around with Ruby, and again, I felt very comfortable, and at home as always :) The homemade bath bombs that Ruby made was amazing and relaxing especially after gallivanting all over the place. I love the tempurpedic bed especially  after my trip from NOLA- I just felt all around comfortable and content with my stay at Ruby and Rafael's place; lovely people, and very welcoming as always! Highly recommend this place :)  "

3920081,32665217,2015-05-19,25265825,Jamie,"Ruby and Rafael were as sweet and flexible as could be and made sure everything I needed was taken care of. Their home is beautiful and in a convenient location - the drive downtown wasn't bad at all, and a great shopping center was within five minutes' drive. Keyless entry made getting in and out a breeze. AND THE MATTRESS IS TO DIE FOR. Seriously, I'm buying one."
3920081,32865360,2015-05-22,2209427,Nick,Ruby was an exceptional host. She was very quick with providing me information and how to access the house. She had everything very clean and helped me to have a very comfortable stay.

Their home is attractive, very tidy and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. This is quite a contrast to the usual cold and sterile hotels I usually stay in.

I enjoyed the stay so much, I staying with them again next week!"
3920081,35529586,2015-06-19,24036443,Ranjith,The house was very clean and everything was setup in a great manner. The host were so welcoming and polite. This was my first experience with Airbnb and the experience was awesome. I would like to stay at this place again when ever I visit Austin!

The bed was a tempurpedic and the pillows were fluffy.  Ruby and Raphael were friendly but gave you space to come and go as you needed.  We have already talked about when we will be back!  It was so nice to meet them and waaaaay better than a hotel  :-)
3920081,37811509,2015-07-10,916512,Ben,"Ruby and Rafael were excellent hosts! They greeted me upon arriving the first day and were very friendly for my 3 day stay. I felt like I was at home, being able to arrive and leave at my own leisure. They are experienced hosts and make everyone feel welcomed throughout their home. The room was quiet and comfortable, like a 5 star hotel for a quarter of the price. Even when I had to leave early every morning, there was no issue and we all got along nicely. I'd recommend this stay to anyone wanting a quiet getaway while visiting Austin. Thanks again!"
3920081,39405432,2015-07-23,3940431,Rosanna,Ruby and Rafael had a beautiful home and were great hosts! Their house was spotless and the bed is truly one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. They were both friendly and accommodating of my late arrival. Highly recommend staying with them!
3920081,40492236,2015-07-31,35026473,Erika,"Our stay was very comfortable and enjoyable, and the hosts are really nice. Other rooms on the second floor of the house are also available, so if other guests are booked at the same time, know that you will be sharing the bathroom with them."
3920081,40918800,2015-08-03,12061028,Debi,The room was exactly as listed.  We were gone most of the time but interaction thru text was expedient and helpful.  Recommended highly to other travelers.

3920081,44267476,2015-08-24,42159621,Jason,"This was my first ever Airbnb. I was a little nervous about staying at someone's place, but Ruby made it feel like home. I honestly had no idea they were even around. The bed was amazing!!! The room was so quiet. I was able to work without any distractions. Amazing experience and will always go with Ruby's if available."
3920081,45228283,2015-08-31,42822436,Austin,Ruby was accommodating and exceptionally quick to respond. She and Rafael were the ideal hosts for our first Airbnb experience. They allowed us the ease to come and go in their lovely home that was warm and welcoming. Hopefully you have the privilege that they may also be your first Airbnb hosts.
3920081,45644228,2015-09-04,22003041,Brandon,"Ok experience. It seems they have quite a few airbnb guests (three rooms total, servicing three separate bookings) which makes living in the room much harder, as you share the bathroom with two other separately booked rooms (small bathroom too)..  This means every morning, if you shower, you will shower in a bathroom that has been used by multiple people within minutes of each other, as well as share same toilet. Also, at night, they listen to television really loud making going to be bed very tough. They are nice couple, and may not necessarily be aware of the flaws in their airbnb set up. If you are looking to really experience Austin, I would recommend a closer stay as well, as it is fairly far north. "
3920081,46088967,2015-09-07,27973070,Jennifer,Our stay was perfect! We scrambled to find an affordable Air BnB since our previous reservation was cancelled 3 days before our trip. But it was obviously meant to be. Ruby's house was welcoming and better than a hotel. Only 15 minutes from downtown and the bed was incredible (thinking of buying one myself now.) All in all I would give our stay a 10 out of 5 stars. Would definitely stay here again!
3920081,48349954,2015-09-25,38662190,Sara,"Our short stay at Ruby and Rafael's house was great. They have a system that works very well, which makes it pretty easy for the guests. The house is very clean and neat, just like in the photos. It is located in a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood. I felt very comfortable staying at their house."

She was very responsive & accommodating. The house was real convenient to my work & local shops. My pup & I were incredibly comfortable & would recommend her place to anyone staying in Austin. Thanks Ruby!"
3920081,50431422,2015-10-12,35110366,Anthony,"Ruby was very welcoming for our first AirBnb stay. Her and Rafael were friendly and had an awesome pair of cats. The room was as described and in a nice neighborhood. For first time AirBnbers, we had a great experience and would definitely rent a room from them again. "
3920081,52033653,2015-10-25,43911945,Monica,"A great experience!  The bed was as comfortable as described.  Private sink and closet was great, and the shared bathroom was good once you got used to it.  Temperature was kept perfectly consistent and cool! If we ever make it back to Austin, we would love to stay here again."
89475,2113440,2012-08-27,2507004,Elena,"Thank you so much for such a wonderful property for us to stay, with lots of room and comfort. It was perfect for our girls trip to Austin, location is very close to everything. We were so glad to find a property that has so many new updates & fixtures, we could tell you guys put a lot of improvements into this property so we appreciated the little touches that made it a pleasant stay, way better than staying at a hotel."

The hot tub was amazing, the bedrooms were beautiful, lots of stuff in the kitchen, the house had everything we needed. We had an awesome time!  We would consider this house for all of our future stays!"
89475,4104766,2013-04-10,3909103,Debbie,"We would like to say a big thank you to Amanda for allowing our family of 6 adults & two children for having us in your home. We stayed in Belford Dr Austin TX. We found the house very clean and homely e had a great time. Plenty of room and everything we needed on hand. Belford Dr is around the corner from everything and walking distance from Walmart, Cafes & Restaurants. We recommend this house to large families or groups. Once again from Peter, Debbie & family

89475,22764736,2014-11-14,97050,Jason,"Amanda and Greg run an extremely professional operation. They were fairly responsive in getting back to me with any questions or requests I had. The place itself was in great condition - nicely furnished, kitchen amenities were good quality and usable (not so common for airbnb kitchens ;).
"
89475,26014320,2015-02-01,25558154,Marcus,"Didn't know what to expect when I opened the door, first time using this service and was apprehensive.   The house was all we could hope for and more!  Well maintained,  furnished,  and comfortable.   Ended up only two couples, which provided more than enough space for all of us.  Only wish I could have used the hot tub, but that was just an expected extra with the house.  I would recommend and use again."
89475,31084650,2015-05-01,31354952,Ryan,A very nice place! If your looking to just relax in a large place with a lot of people in Austin this is the place.  Very quiet neighborhood. Brand new washer and dryer. Had everything we needed/wanted.
89475,47320365,2015-09-17,20511736,Thomas,Good hosts the place was as described.
89475,50469331,2015-10-12,27859215,Laura,"Amanda & Greg's place was perfect for our family trip to ACL!
The house was in great condition and location was great for shopping and dining near by!"
89475,52362464,2015-10-28,2954669,Erica,Our stay at Amanda and Greg's was great -- beautiful home and very helpful hosts!
5489353,28139780,2015-03-18,12403624,Zoé,"This place was a gem of a find for my week in Austin for SxSW! Well situated, the layout and decor was fabulous and the host Natalie went out of her way to make sure our stay was pleasant. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had amenities in the apartment that would make our stay enjoyable and that we had the lay of community so we could easily find restaurants, stores and more. I'd definitely stay here again! "
959630,4255989,2013-04-22,5765964,Sean,"This was our first trip on AirBnb and we couldn't be happier! John and Melissa have a wonderful place that's minutes from downtown and Soco.  Everything is modern in decor, clean, neat and convenient.  They were the perfect hosts.  There was fresh fruit left for us, coffee next to the coffee maker every morning and even local beer in the fridge!  

The bed was extremely comfortable.  This was a modern miracle considering my wife was 6 months pregnant at the time and couldn't get a good night's rest anywhere.  

Super private and convenient entrance.  Located in Zilker Park, very close to Barton Springs, this place blows away any hotel you could get at a much higher price.  

We have a lot of friends in Austin and the next time we go back, we'll be booking John and Melissa's place!"
959630,4351344,2013-04-29,6018513,Amanda,"The photos and description just don't do this place justice.  John and Melissa live in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood.  I felt safe and welcome the entire time.  They went the extra mile to make us feel at home, even stocking the place with little extras that made it feel like a special getaway.  The whole place was clean, smelled nice, and had plenty of space for us to relax.  My only regret is that we spent so much time out and about instead of relaxing at this great little place.  "
959630,4695680,2013-05-20,3092337,David,Perfect weekend getaway in a great location!  John and Melissa were very flexible with arrival and departure times and made sure we had everything we needed....even had fresh local coffee and beer in the fridge!!  Highly recommend this stay
959630,5067626,2013-06-10,4873428,Courtney,"John and Melissa were fabulous hosts! Very accommodating and very welcoming - we felt so at home! This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had. Hands down. Their garage apartment is in the perfect Austin location. Its so close to everything Austin has to offer yet it is tucked away in a quaint Zilker neighborhood. You could hardly ask for more. Also, the apartment is a lot bigger than the pictures lead you to believe. Its the perfect size for a couple to share. We would definitely stay with John and Melissa again next time we're in Austin! :)"
959630,5445101,2013-06-30,455516,Kasey,"First of all, if I could rate John and Melissa 10 stars I would. They are impeccable hosts and bend over backwards to make sure that your stay at their amazing property is top notch. The property has no shortage of amazing details from a beautiful open floor plan with lots of natural light to the lovely lavender body wash that is graciously provided for your showers. The bed is extra comfy and will make you want to sleep in and awake in the bamboo forest right outside the window. Once you get up and going, it's just a short drive to every where popular in Austin. I will be staying at John and Melissa's property every time I come to Austin!! Thanks again John and Melissa!!!

959630,5616754,2013-07-08,7027923,Caryn,"I rented the new garage apartment in Zilker for a friend who was visiting from out of town since my 1 bedroom Austin apartment was too small to accommodate him.  John was wonderful and incredibly communicative/responsive. Plus, he gave me a tour of and instructions prior to my friend's arrival.  The apartment is airy, modern, spacious and proved to be the perfect loft, retreat-like accommodations in the heat of the Austin summer. The hosts have thought of every small detail that are missing in most rentals that made my friend's stay incredibly comfortable- plenty of extra towels, lots of hangers in the closet, ironing board, organic toiletries in the bathroom, water and beer in the fridge, wine glasses, corkscrew, local reading material on the coffee table.  Would highly recommend this apartment close to downtown and walking distance to the burgeoning eateries, restaurants and boutiques along Lamar Blvd.  If I have any future guests coming to town, I'm definitely keeping this place in mind. "
959630,5878808,2013-07-20,7377726,Brad,"Business in Austin: I travel for business to Austin frequently and wanted a change from the usual hotels. Something unique but comfortable. My only reservation in staying at a private residence was having everything I need to get work done when needed (desk, fast internet, etc..) as I would in a hotel. 

Happy to say that the Dodge's Zilker apartment gave me the best of both worlds. Like a hotel, they have a private entrance, hi speed internet (waaay faster than any hotel!), great bed, excellent shower and minutes away from some of Austin's best restaurant's (You could walk to Uchi, best sushi in the country!). But it also gave me what I was looking for in some place unique; funky but quiet neighborhood, great design/décor. You even pass through John and Melissa's vegetable garden going into the apartment! Can't do that at a hotel!  Great touch to the end of the day. John and Melissa are such great hosts, made sure I had everything I needed. 

Austin hotels just lost my business. Excellent stay! "
959630,5923260,2013-07-22,2720435,John,"This gem in the hippest zip code in Austin was a treat for my family (wife and toddler son)! John and Melissa were extra responsive and great hosts for our weekend trip. The garage apartment has a private entrance and is in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood. In the outdoor space of the apartment, a small garden, intimate seating and a sandbox was available to play with in the early morning. The apartment is a clean, airy, and well decorated. Everything that you would need is available... They do have a coffee maker, stocked mini fridge (beer and water) and small kitchenette available. John set up the toddler bed for our son - which he loved! There is no TV available in this apartment (clearly stated in the ad), but my family took advantage of their Bose speakers (hooked up to phone) to enjoy music. It was refreshing! We look forward to visiting the Dodges apartment again in the future and will gladly recommend this to our closest friends... Close proximity to the best spots in town and a short drive to Loop 1 or 35. Thank you, John and Melissa!"
959630,7016998,2013-09-03,2454877,Aaron,"John & Melissa had a beautiful apartment with everything we needed. Lots of light, a comfy bed, plus they left Jo's coffee and beers for us in the fridge. Staying at their apartment made our Austin experience one of the best trips we've been on in awhile. We'll definitely be back!"
959630,7554613,2013-09-24,1131088,Melanie,"We loved staying at John and Melissa's place. It's bigger, better and more comfortable than a hotel room, and with use of speakers for the Itunes and free parking included. The location is wonderful: walking distance to Barton Springs pool, blocks from the Saxon Pub, and close to so many awesome places to stuff oneself, have a cocktail, or get an awesome haircut (Bird Barbershop). John and Melissa even offered a selection of tasty Austin beers in the fridge that I had never heard of. Highly recommended!"
959630,7782447,2013-10-02,8990564,Catherine,"Urban BnB at its best! Convenient, quiet, spacious and pristine. I found the hosts to be thoughtful and attentive. A very special find that is convenient to everything."
959630,8077419,2013-10-15,630638,Michael,"There isn't too much to say other than I can't recommend this place any higher. It's clean, secluded, quaint, quiet, central to everything South Austin, and most important John and Melissa are amazing hosts. 

Relative location to Zilker is optimum in that you're not too close but not far by any means either. Awesome for ACL and anything else that may be going on in South Austin."
959630,8555420,2013-11-04,4691274,Kristina,"Great place to stay. Convenient location, comfortable room/apt.

Thanks so much!"
959630,8654616,2013-11-11,3092337,David,This was our second stay at John and Melissa's garage apartment and you just can't beat this place!   It has EVERYTHING you need for a perfect stay in Austin!
959630,8822902,2013-11-19,565835,Richard,"What a find! We absolutely loved staying at John and Melissa's place. It was very close to all that Austin has to offer.  The apartment was modern, open, & spotless.  We couldn't ask for anything better.  They also provided a detailed list of their favorite local restaurants, bars, & things to do.  If I find myself coming back to Austin I'll definitely stay here again. Thanks John and Melissa!"
959630,8962942,2013-11-28,1912935,Winnie,"I couldn't have asked for a better host then John and Melissa, not only is their home centrally located to all the restaurants and shops it's clean and they checked in daily to make sure that we had everything we needed for our stay in Austin. I would stay there again on my next trip to Austin for sure!"
959630,9543273,2014-01-02,9667512,Michael,"Great place, great location, great hosts.  John and Melissa made us feel like we were longtime friends in town for a visit; they even stocked the fridge with beer and champagne for New Year’s Eve!"
959630,9978464,2014-01-22,11200480,Christina,"John and Melissa's place is positively perfect. It's in a quiet family neighborhood yet walking and short driving distance to much of the best in Austin. The space itself is lovely - tastefully decorated in a serene, modern aesthetic. The windows look out on the treetops of the neighborhood, making it very peaceful. And they are wonderful hosts - full of helpful restaurant and other tips. I can't recommend it highly enough! I know we'll try to stay here every time we come!"
959630,10027675,2014-01-26,2953655,Derek,"My girlfriend and I had such a great experience staying at John and Melissa's apartment. Melissa was soooo helpful with everything. The apartment is spacious and very, very clean. It was a quick 20 minute walk to downtown. I personally wouldnt trust a cab driver in Austin, so just walk. The area was peaceful and we felt 100% safe at all times. All in all a 5 star experience for us."
959630,10105248,2014-01-31,3207987,Aleksey,"Truly spacious, clean and convenient apartment, with great hosts, too. Would stay again whenever I'm back in Austin."
959630,10163949,2014-02-03,3795055,Guillermo,"Great location, awesome apartment, just like in pics, we even had a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us. You can't beat the 10 minute walk to Town Lake. Will definitely stay here again, when I get another chance to do so. "
959630,10277853,2014-02-10,2116660,Kurt,We stayed at John and Melissa's apartment for three nights and it was perfect for our stay in Austin. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked with everything we needed. They also gave us a print out of eating places that they recommended. The apartment was very cozy and clean. We look forward to recommending this place to family and friends.
959630,10418384,2014-02-18,293244,Arielle,"We had a great time at John and Melissa's.  The unit is clean, spacious, and beautifull decorated. They live in a great area of the city Zilker Park. You are minutes away from downtown and the South Congress Area. They are amazing hosts, providing us with lists of things to do.  The apartment comes stocked with water, coconut juice, beer, and snacks!! The bed is ridiculously comfortable and the place is immaculate. The best AirBnB experience I have ever had. "
959630,10977340,2014-03-16,638295,Emma,"John and Melissa's garage apartment is beautiful, full of light, nicely furnished and clean. The surrounding area is quiet, full of trees and great to take a walk in. John and Melissa are kind and helpful hosts. We highly recommend this place!"
959630,11217431,2014-03-25,9950332,Alex,"Great apartment and location on a quiet street in a residential part of Austin. We stayed three nights: John and Melissa are great hosts, everything was clean and ready for our arrival, and we found the apartment really easily. We were traveling around a lot and this is quite a good location - no more than 10 minutes from many of the attractions in Austin."
959630,11347421,2014-03-31,1718187,Stephen,"I had just returned from Austin and couldn't wait to share my amazing experience at John and Melissa's. They are a prime example of perfect hosts, and they well-deserve their 5-star rating. The listing was exactly as described (even better in person!). It was extremely clean, modern, comfortable, spacious and had all the amenities we needed in the kitchen and bathroom for our 3 night stay in Austin. We especially loved having the stocked fridge with various and local drinks for us right when we arrived.

John was very easy to communicate with from the moment I had booked their place. He provided me with an incredibly helpful list of their favorite places to eat and visit. He even gave me a call before I had arrived to make sure I had everything I needed, and made sure check in with me throughout my stay. 

The location was absolutely great as well. It was very easy to find and you're not too far from anywhere in Austin. The listing is in a very quiet, safe and welcoming neighborhood. All in all, I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks so much again John!"
959630,11803351,2014-04-15,2707466,Rick,"John and Melissa are perfect hosts. Their apartment is immaculate and they do everything in their power to make you feel at home. We had to check in late so John called me to go over the details of the home and how to get in. Plus they left us delicious snacks that pertained to our dietary requirements. I've loved all my airbnb experiences but this one is the best, no questions asked.  Perfect location, perfect hosts and perfect city!"
959630,12042302,2014-04-22,1516904,Camille,"John and Melissa are such nice, helpful hosts and we really enjoyed our stay at their garage apartment.  It was truly spacious (bigger than the pictures), clean, and bright, and a pleasure to come home to after a long day of sightseeing.  We also appreciated the coffee, bottled water, and cold beer they provided.  The location is close to everything yet still quiet and pleasant.  We would highly recommend staying here!  "
959630,12657064,2014-05-07,1741465,Kyle,"Just returned from a 5 night stay at John and Melissa's apartment.  These two are great hosts and went above and beyond the norm to make us feel welcome. Before we had arrived John had sent us their must see/do/eat list for Austin.  Lots of great ideas.

The apartment itself is lovely and bright. It has air conditioning for those warmer days too.  The kitchen is stocked with a few goodies for you.  We had a few local beers, cold water and as someone else mentioned, a bottle of prosecco!

The apartment is located is a quiet residential neighbourhood.  We walked from the apartment to South Lamar on several occasions to visit a few of the restaurants and bars on the list John provided.  Austin has a great food and drink scene.

We would definitely stay here again if we revisit Austin in the future."
959630,12793322,2014-05-11,3226106,Rebecca,"John and Melissa were great hosts - they made sure I was comfortable and gave a guide to the city which helped me have some great meals.  The space is one of the best spaces I've stayed in with AirBnB - clean, fast wifi, nice bathroom, and a kitchen with the essentials.  It was also within running distance of Zilker park which was great for outdoor activities. "
959630,15502629,2014-07-10,16883434,Charles,"John and Melissa were great hosts and very helpful. It is a surprisingly large space. It all looks very new and clean. There are lots of windows, so there is lots of sunlight coming in. We're early risers so that was fine but it might be tough if you like to sleep in. The neighborhood quiet and it's not too far from the river and S. Congress. "
959630,15723708,2014-07-14,17677979,Patty,"John and Melissa's apartment is a beautiful, quiet space. After busy days in Austin, it was lovely to come ""home"" and stretch out and relax. My hosts were gracious and friendly."
959630,18221693,2014-08-23,7377726,Brad,I had yet another great experience staying at John and Melissa's. Being in the Zilker neighborhood always makes my stay convenient to go to meetings and the studio apartment is really well done. 
959630,19153173,2014-09-07,954427,Julie,"This has been my favorite Airbnb spot I've stayed in yet! The bed was very comfortable, the space was immaculate, fast internet, great shower, very quiet -almost feels like you're in a tree house. What I loved most is that it's a peaceful space located in a great neighborhood close to Zilker Park and downtown. John was really friendly and down to earth, also very easy to communicate with if I needed anything. I've stayed in a couple Airbnb spots in Austin and this is a good as it gets. I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin and locals needing a temporary place to stay.
"
959630,20516300,2014-09-30,20080483,Chris,"This was my first time using AirBnb and John made it smooth and easy. Answering any questions I had and always getting back to me quickly. I had a great time staying here and in Austin. The place was clean and very bright. John met me when I arrived to give me the rundown and all his suggestions on where I should go while there. I felt right at home, even like I was a relative of his. I had everything I needed there, coffee maker, comfy bed, speakers for my music, hot shower, the list goes on. John definitely goes above and beyond to make this place a great stay. The neighborhood is close to everything too so you can walk to a lot of places. It's also quiet so if you want to relax after a fun night out on rainey then you can do that too. If you are headed to Austin I would recommend trying to book this spot. You won't regret it. When I head back I hope I can stay here again."
959630,21275887,2014-10-14,15129746,Ashley,"John and Melissa were excellent hosts. The kitchen and bathroom were stocked to our preferences. Everything about this place is well-executed. The house, neighborhood and location is just wonderful. Thanks for everything!"
959630,21661369,2014-10-21,20916912,Ian,"Everything was as described in the posting.  The apartment was open and spacious, bright and colorful.  Keypad access meant no dealing with lost keys, which was nice.  Local beers in the fridge was a nice touch and and recommendations for local dining and nightlife was perfect.  The neighborhood was a quiet residential zection just south of the park - perfect for a morning run around Barton Springs and the river, and not too far from good breakfast and dinner spots.  John was sure to check in with us to make sure we had everything we needed.  Great place, and very welcoming hosts!"
959630,22022023,2014-10-28,20958002,Kyle,"This was our first airbnb experience and it absolutely could not have been better. We are hooked now!! We loved this space, especially having the private entry with the keypad access. The location was amazing, close to great restaurants and shops. We had our 16 month old with us and although there are stairs inside we were able to block them off with the pack n play and this worked well. Note: There are two steps then a decent sized landing before the other steps so a baby gate would have worked well also. The white chairs were so comfortable in the sitting area, everything was so fresh and clean! All that you would expect from a hotel was available here, including shampoo/conditioner/soaps (great organic products too) and iron/ironing board, coffee maker etc. John and Melissa were fantastic and Melissa called to check if we would be cooking so she could bring us any pots/pans we needed. We loved looking though their top picks for restaurants and things to do in the area. Can not say enough good things about these hosts/listing! Would be excited to stay here again!
"
959630,22393226,2014-11-05,1558651,Crystal,"John was an awesome host - it was great to have the separate entrance to the apartment, but he was always accessible when we had questions. He had some AMAZING recommendations on restaurants, bars, things to do in Austin (especially after spending most of the day at Circuit of the Americas for the Formula 1). The apartment itself looks exactly as it does in the pictures - it's a great space and you can tell John and Melissa has put in the effort to make the space welcoming. The amenities were all included and the fact they were local/organic was a nice touch. The apartment is in a residential area, but walking distance to Zilker Park and an array of restaurants and bars. It was also just a short cab ride to downtown - making this is an ideal base for us. We can't wait to visit Austin again (and to stay here!) :)"

Our experience was perfect.  Can't think of a thing that we would've changed or wished to be different."
959630,24889153,2015-01-03,25100263,Angelica & Surj,"John and Melissa's garage-top apartment served as a fabulous home base for our Austin New Year adventure. This was our first time Air BNB'ing and they were extra helpful—much appreciated. 

The apartment is great—spacious, tastefully done and private. Nice mellow neighborhood. We would totally stay here again.  There was even a coffee grinder and excellent beans!"
959630,25349734,2015-01-13,15287315,Sandy,"Fantastic experience from the very beginning! The apartment was exceptionally clean and well-furnished...a real home away from home. John provided a list of great restaurants in the area that we took advantage of, and he was an avid cyclist as well.  We were visiting for Cross Nationals, and John had already scoped out the venue before we arrived, and provided information on getting around town that was very helpful. If I'm in the area again, I will stay here!"
959630,25913598,2015-01-29,16288601,Jenni,"We really enjoyed John & Melissa's garage apartment. It's a clean, well designed space that served as the perfect home-base during our visit to Austin. John went above & beyond to provide us with information on the nearby trails (something I said we'd like to explore) and left a great list of recommended restaurants & cafes. The key-less entry made coming & going a breeze. Melissa checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood is an interesting place to wander, it's near a very large park, while still close downtown. We enjoyed our stay--and now I'm inspired to build our own garage apartment!"
959630,26066805,2015-02-02,4505533,Leland,"The place was as advertised. The location was perfect; with easy access to downtown, SoCo, and the Hill Country.  Highly recommend. Had a great time!"

959630,27546096,2015-03-07,27668233,Justin,Clean apartment which had everything I needed and was close to downtown Austin.  Definitely will be back
959630,27800477,2015-03-12,10877512,Edward,"My wife and I spent three days at John and Melissa's place during  SXSWedu. John was very welcoming and really helpful. He had a wonderful guide set up for us with suggestions to all of the local places to go, as well as recommendations for what to do in Austin. The fridge was stocked with beer and bottled water and John and Melissa had left us delicious coffee and granola to eat—which was perfect for us. The place itself was bigger than we expected, extremely clean, and very vibrant. We didn't have a car, but it was easy to get around using Uber—and there were some solid restaurants within walking distance (do the tasting menu with the beer and wine pairings at Barley Swine—amazing, have brunch at Henri's, but you might want to pass on El Meson). Next time we're back in Austin, we'll definitely consider staying with John and Melissa again!"
959630,28382478,2015-03-23,2586081,Ida,"John and Melissa were excellent hosts. The apartment was spacious, clean, and just generally amazing. Location was also perfect, definitely recommend!!"

Upon arrival, we had a great guide of 'must do' items in the area which were all spot on with our style. The neighborhood was a short walk to many of Austin's top locations. We barely used our car! Highly recommend John and Melissa's place!"
959630,29575006,2015-04-09,1394219,Laura + Ryan,"John and Melissa's place was amazing. It was stylish, super comfortable to hang out in, and the mattress was firm yet cozy (just the way we like it!). The fridge was even stocked with local beer and water when we arrived! The neighborhood was peaceful and really close to just about anywhere you want to go in Austin. They left an extensive guide of great restaurants and a map of Zilker Park. 

We loved our stay. John and Melissa were fantastic hosts. We couldn't have had a better experience! "
959630,29742662,2015-04-12,20870326,Anchi,"John and Melissa were great hosts - offering insider tips on their fav restaurants and things to do! We truly felt like we were locals!

The apartment is just plain awesome and the location could not be beat! We were so close to Zilker park, the lake, food spots, downtown and everything we wanted to do. We will definitely be back! Thanks for having us!"
959630,30210352,2015-04-19,19680059,Julia,John and Melissa were incredibly gracious hosts. The apartment was comfortable and in a great part of town. We look forward to coming back!
959630,35117756,2015-06-15,16381317,Lydia,"Stay here!  Seriously!  This place is great!  It's clean, modern and feels like your very own Austin home. Everything is top-notch.
The hosts, John and Melissa, couldn't be any nicer or more accommodating.  John helped settle us in, gave us a quick Austin run-down, handed over a bag tasty local Cuvée coffee and let us on our own to discover Austin.  By the way, there is a kitchen and a fridge which they thoughtfully stocked with bottled water and some Texas beer.  Nice touch!
The neighborhood is a quiet, residential part of Austin.   You can walk to area restaurants and bars or do what we did, rent bikes.  If that's your thing like it is ours you will be able explore the city with ease, especially using its great Roy and Ann Butler hike and bike trail.
Next time we visit Austin we hope this place will be available! Highly recommend!

959630,39214675,2015-07-21,10513815,Sarah,"This place is awesome! I had a wonderful stay here. It is exactly like the photos: clean, bright, welcoming. John and Melissa were fantastic hosts. Communication was easeful and they even left treats (chocolate, coffee) and drinks (water, beer) in the fridge. I would definitely stay here again. It is a bright place in the morning, so bring a sleep mask if you need blackout!"
959630,39993593,2015-07-27,28835023,Shari,"Great location and comfortable apartment.  John was welcoming and responsive.  Snacks, water, and whole bean coffee were nice extra perks!  We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended!"
959630,46187432,2015-09-08,39555936,Brooke,"John and Melissa were exceptional hosts. They were very easy to contact for any questions or concerns. Their space surpassed all expectations. It was in a prime location for anything you could possibly want to go do. The pictures were right on point and did not leave us disappointed when we arrived.  It was clean, bright, and stocked with goodies! We had plenty of room for 3 girls and all our bags.  Even though we know the area well, the printed tips sheet was very helpful since it had recommendations we had never tried before.  We were not ready to leave at the end of our stay! We cannot wait to come back and recommend it to anyone we knew. You will not be disappointed! "
959630,46988810,2015-09-14,18419329,Marcia,"Our stay was very nice. Couldn't have asked for better. The apartment is very clean, spacious and beautiful. John let us in the first day and spent some time answering all our questions about the area. He even did some research and followed up with us by text message on something he wasn't initially sure about. That was above and beyond and greatly appreciated. The space is very private and in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to anything you want to do
in the city. I am sure you will be very happy here! "
959630,47675781,2015-09-21,5245619,Nick,Fantastic space with easy access to the  best parts of the city! It was super convenient check in process and the set up allows for private and flexible arrival/departure schedules. Will definitely stay here again if available!
959630,49306348,2015-10-03,16435596,Markus,"John and Melissa are great hosts and their space is cool. It's within walking distance of the Alamo Drafthouse and lots of great restaurants. Barton Springs and the hike and bike trails that were nearby were great for a morning run. There was beer in the fridge, coffee, tea, and a fully stocked kitchen in the space. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin."
959630,50740556,2015-10-14,25245635,Jason,"The BEST Airbnb experience I have had to date! The apartment was spacious, spotless and comfortable. Fast wifi, hot water, cold AC and all the essentials you could need. As well as plenty of natural light and privacy. 

Guidebooks, restaurant recommendation lists and a map were all waiting for me on arrival as John showed me around the space. Key pad access made things effortless with no keys to keep track of. 

I was in Austin for ACL and John and Melissa's home was a 15 min walk to the gates in a quiet neighborhood. Being big Austin and ACL fans themselves they were great resources. They also made themselves available for any questions and responded faster than I would ever expect. A family lemonade stand in the front yard was the perfect thing as I returned from the concert on a 99 degree day and afforded a chance to chat with Melissa and some of their neighbors. 

I can't rate the space or these hosts highly enough. This will be my first choice on any future trips to Austin and it should be yours as well. "
959630,51624839,2015-10-22,14190288,Peter,"John and Melissa have created an adorable and inviting living space for AirBNBers. The studio layout is spacious, sunny, and makes great use of space for nice dining and sitting areas, a desk, and a comfy bed. I came to Austin for a mix of work and pleasure, and the space could not have been more accommodating for both. 

The location is in a quiet neighborhood close to great restaurants, and is an easy walk to the lake and parks. I loved how central it was (easy Uber/Lyft ride to anywhere you'd want to go), though the lack of sidewalks means it's a little unsettling to walk through at first for those of us used to city life. That said, I comfortably walked almost everywhere I wanted to go.

As hosts, John and Melissa were friendly, organized, and made me feel right at home. The combination of great people and a nice space means I hope to come back and stay here again on my next visit to Austin. Highly recommended. :-)"
959630,52225761,2015-10-27,2709021,Alan,"John and Melissa were stellar hosts.  Their space was exactly as described in the listing. They provided everything you need to make you feel welcome and at home. Perfect for couples or families with little ones.
Highly recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

6292365,44254997,2015-08-24,6328982,Khadija,"Easily accessible to zipcar, bus and various food options.  Would recommend."
6292365,44988327,2015-08-30,4038811,John,"The people living there are super friendly and after a week I came to know most of them quite well. We had a great time, lots going on in Austin, and this place is easy walking distance to town. They do a shared dinner on a Wednesday night so thats a great time to meet everyone."
6292365,45350942,2015-09-01,15743801,Jia,"I liked the place, unique decoration with two friendly cats, love cats. i haven't had chance to meet a lot people there, since I was not in the house most of the day and I am shy person, but they were nice and friendly. And location is great, too. "
1250575,8695564,2013-11-12,6305148,Greg,"This has to be one of the best places in Austin as far as location, quality of house, price, and how great Jason is.  He was very flexible with our check in and out and was great with cleanup.  Could not recommend more!"
1250575,9132065,2013-12-09,3793826,Jason,"Great place for a group trip to Austin!  We held my brother's bachelor party here. The location is super-convenient to cool areas of Austin, including walking distance to 6th Street for bar-hopping.

The house accommodated 12 people, although it was a tight fit for that many guys. 12 people is a bit of a stretch, but it's perfect for a slightly smaller group.

We made good use of the Apple TV for music, and the beer pong table was a huge hit with the group.

Jason was a fabulous host, always reachable for questions before our visit, as well as during. Can't ask for anyone easier to deal with!"
1250575,10154061,2014-02-03,11120551,Matthew,"Jason was an excellent host and the house was amazing. We took full advantage of the Foosball table, ping pong table, and Apple TV. The house was within walking distance of Rainey Street, which our group thoroughly enjoyed. We had a group of 15 stay for 2 nights and everyone was able to find a comfortable place to sleep. I would definitely stay at this house when I visit Austin again."
1250575,10531067,2014-02-24,6149683,Dan,Jason was great. He went above and beyond to accomidate us. We had 18 people for a bachelor party. That in itself is incredibly stressful. I am glad I was able to deal with someone that understood we needed transparency in the renting process and Jason did that for us. He answered all questions quickly and clearly. The house was great. All 18 of us had a place to sleep and even though the house is not that large (for 18 people at least)... we were by no means bumping into each other. It was such a great location to walk to Rainey and 6th Street. We did not use a cab for the entire weekend wich allowed us to spend all of our money at the bars instead. I recommend the house and Jason to anyone wanting to take in what Austin has to offer. 
1250575,12268351,2014-04-28,11188485,Adam,"We had a bachelor party here, and we were ecstatic with the area.  A close walk to rainey street bars and food trucks, and a close jog to a running track on the water.  The house was perfect for a bachelor party, Jason has a beer pong table, and a fenced in yard so we didn't have to worry about neighbor complaints. Cab rides were cheap to 6th street. Seven of us stayed the weekend and we were all happy we didn't get a hotel room.  Jason was very cool and accommodating about check in and check out.  I definitely recommend this place for bachelor parties, or if you just want to see Austin!"
1250575,17340092,2014-08-11,15179118,Ryan,"The place is amazing. It has perfect walking access to both Rainey and 6th street. It is clean, modern and has plenty of fun stuff to do when not enjoying the town (cornhole, beerpong, foosball). Jason was great to work with, coordinating reservation, arrival, and departure extremely well. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a good time in Austin. "
1250575,22317259,2014-11-03,22296818,James,Our stay in Austin was great from start to finish.  The house was in a perfect location and everything was clean and modern.  All the accomadations inside were well maintained and everything we needed was provided.  Would absolutely stay here again.
8831082,52008027,2015-10-25,17979334,Melissa,Awesome place to stay in a quiet neighborhood! The deco was creative as well as warm and inviting!
8831082,52789439,2015-11-01,31284698,Anthony,"Federico was very accommodating during my stay. Unfortunately, when I arrived into Austin, I was involved in a car accident. He was very patient with meeting with me while I was getting everything taken care of. The house was very well decorated, and it reminded me exactly of what i remembered Austin being like. His bed was like sleeping on a cloud, literally. I'm definitely going to book this place again when I come back to visit Austin again."
1242559,5612126,2013-07-08,2563934,Zach,"Troy is a great host, got us set up straight away and gave us the lay of the land around us. House is in a great location with stuff to walk to or a short drive for everything else. Neat/Clean/Friendly not much more you can ask for."
1242559,5990394,2013-07-25,2563934,Zach,I extended our stay because the place has been so nice to stay at. Troy has been great the whole time and very flexible with our needs.
1242559,8786012,2013-11-18,9265400,Chris,Very easy to work with and great communication. 
1242559,23291680,2014-11-28,21338911,Jennifer,We stayed at Troy's house with our two small kids over Thanksgiving. It worked really well for the four of us and I'd definitely recommend it to others! 
1242559,28253337,2015-03-21,25659204,Marisa,Great space! Very clean and nice. Quiet neighborhood and great location. I forgot some belongings and Troy shipped them back to me. Highly recommend this space. 
7730776,46087398,2015-09-07,43208943,Brian,"Sue was absolutely wonderful and welcoming, it was a beautiful guest house and the pool was amazing. The home is in a nice secure neighborhood and a nice easy distance from downtown Austin and Lake Travis. Sue had set up snacks and convenience items (Food/drinks/snacks) for us before we arrived along with a booklet of great places to go and eat/drink in the area. Beds and couches were very comfortable. There are no negative things to say about this place or our stay here. Sue went ABOVE AND BEYOND expectations, Thanks Sue! "
7730776,50529925,2015-10-12,16179348,Brandon,"Sue is the best host anyone could ever ask for! The guest house was amazing, and also very spacious (having 7 people). The beds in the house were very comfortable and the linens were also great! She went above and beyond to make us feel at home during our stay. From leaving us beer in the fridge at arrival to bringing us chocolate croissants for breakfast one morning that were super tasty! Sue even had the hot tub up and running and candles lit all around it waiting for us to get back from ACL! The A/C in the house worked amazing which was nice when getting back from the hot festival, and the water pressure in the shower was awesome and I've noticed from staying in a lot of hotels that that's not always the case. Sue is definitely a new friend of mine after the stay, she is a very friendly person and will chat with you about life and give you pointers on cool places around Austin to eat and visit. If you have any questions she will provide her number and you can contact her at anytime no questions asked! Anyways I could go on and on about Sue and her gorgeous property in the Uplands, I HIGHLY recommend staying here 10/10. Thanks for everything that you did for us Sue!"
7730776,52756903,2015-11-01,21744580,Hamza,"The house was beautiful and very comfortable. Sue was very accommodating to all our needs, offered us early check and late check out since there was no one there before or after us. We made good use of the hot tub and the guest house easily slept 7 people.
There was only one bathroom just wanted to mention that. Sue also had a lot of goodies for us, little snack and drinks in the fridge.
She definitely lived up to her super host status. If I ever need a place in Austin I will always book through Sue."
8289314,49817145,2015-10-06,25754549,Alexis,"Jacob and Jasmin(e??) were wonderful hosts. 
They started us off with a quick little tour of their cute apartment and let us know that we were welcome to use pretty much anything and occupy any room other than their room. 
Kitchen, food, playstation, qtips, gin and tonic, you name it!
There was no ""quiet time"" so that was nice because we would arrive late from exploring Austin/ returning from the festival.
Also, the flexible check in/out times saved us!

Being that we weren't from the area, we would use uber for transportation and that was a breeze. It was probably about $15 to travel from their apt to downtown/Zilker Park and back!

Apart from just the apartment, these guys were pretty familiar with their area so they gave us a ton of helpful pointers as to where to go for food, entertainment, and drinks. Honestly, for our following travels, we hope we can get as lucky to have hosts like them. (:"
8289314,50768901,2015-10-14,5530038,Rebecca,"Jacob was a great host! He was super flexible and welcoming, and I felt really at home the whole time. The location is really convenient - there is a bomb breakfast taco truck around the corner :D"
1588655,22024605,2014-10-28,21297056,Maz,Sharon was a pleasure to work with. She was super welcoming and really made us feel at home. The house itself is a paradise getaway in Austin. I would highly recommend this property and I hope to come back and stay here again. Great! Great! Great!
1588655,24141569,2014-12-21,4039279,Zacki,"Sharon was a warm, responsive and welcoming host. The property is stunning, pictures don't do it justice. It's incredibly well-appointed and no stone was left unturned design-wise. I highly recommend Sharon and her fantastic house!"
1588655,33061714,2015-05-25,11508989,Gena,Sharon has a wonderful home that is filled with so many interesting details.  She makes sure that you have everything you need and even had welcoming muffins for us! We truly enjoyed staying here and I have already recommended it to several friends and family.  Thank you Sharon!
1588655,36356852,2015-06-28,21775378,Kristina,"Sharon was absolutely amazing and accommodating. The home was beautifu, clean and made our weekend very memorable. "
1588655,37940423,2015-07-12,4974944,Sara,"This place is beyond AMAZING! Sometimes places look better in photos; this home is the opposite. Even the beautiful photos could not do it justice! It is simply stunning inside--so comfortable, so well-thought out, so relaxing. It was the perfect retreat. And it was beyond stocked--everything from fresh bakery muffins to a draw of random and delicious drinks. Sharon thought of every.single.detail. I had an amazing time and would love to go back! "
1588655,50459683,2015-10-12,38709689,Laureen,"We absolutely loved our time here. The Loft House is a one-of-a-kind place that turned our getaway into an incredible retreat. Its open floor plan, amazing artwork and warm, modern design all contribute to a feelings of relaxed, creative inspiration. And the pool, outdoor shower and beautiful grounds make it easy to enjoy nature. 

Sharon thought of everything in designing the home and brings that same attention to detail in her role as a host. From the time we booked the trip through the weekend we stayed, she was communicative, accommodating and made sure we had a wonderful time.

2637570,28499319,2015-03-24,19734506,Thomas,"My stay was amazing. I visited during SXSW and there were 5 different parties that stayed, many individuals. But we made it work and had a great time. Pauline, thanks for being so accommodating throughout my stay. The upgrade to the extra room was nice and your help with laundry is much appreciated."
2637570,29065378,2015-04-03,29451909,Max,"Had 7 amazing days on the porch - Waking up to sunlight and birds is just so cool ! Everything was clean and ready to use. Pauline was very kind, helpful and provided a good start for me here in ATX. ! Thank you so much ! "
2637570,29531063,2015-04-08,18329794,Sam,"This was amazing! Literally the best airbnb experience I've ever had. The place was awesome - cozy and very comfortable, but also with an outdoorsy feel. Pauline was such a delight and let me use her bike all weekend, which was the perfect way to tour around Austin. This was just a fabulous experience all around, and a great deal for the price. Thank you Pauline, you're the best!"
2637570,31537196,2015-05-06,29670114,Lucy Jane,I had the most amazing time on my trip to Texas and that was all thanks to Pauline . She was so helpful making sure that every morning I knew what I needed to take with me on my little explorations . From letting me use her Lg tablet to making mojitos Pauline was the best host on this app for sure ! If u are thinking of going to Austin stay with Pauline And u won't only make a great choice in terms of location but u will also extend your family for sure :) thank Pauline!!!!
2637570,31725837,2015-05-09,22650714,Katie,Pauline was great and the location was perfect. The other guests were friendly and I appreciated the quiet space!
2637570,33031038,2015-05-24,4406735,Casey,"I had a great stay with Pauline!  She was an extremely generous and thoughtful host. Upon my arrival she sat with me and recommended places to go during my very short stay, which was very helpful.  In addition, she offered a bike to be used while I was there, left me water by my bedside :) and put me in touch with her other guests, with whom I ended up enjoying a fun evening with. 
Regarding the SunPorch, the bed was super comfortable and with all of the windows/sunlight and sounds of outside I really enjoyed waking up there in the mornings! Considering it is part of the house it really feels like it is a separate entity, like your own private studio.
The neighborhood itself is very nice, quiet and safe.  It's also within walking distance to South Congress St. and a short drive or uber ride to the city center.

If I make it back to Austin, I would look forward to staying with Pauline again!"
2637570,33341434,2015-05-26,34001377,Barbara,"Pauline is very kind and make you feel confortable and she can also give you a lot of interesting information about places and events in Austin. The neighborhood is quite and nice and also close to Congress Av. The porch is ok, it is what I expected but.. there is a big BUT .. the place was dirty , really dirty .. not the bed, but everything else in the porch and the badroom (shared) was dirty, with hair and stuff on the floor and everywhere. I didn't mind about the porch not to be ready when we arrived (I was told it would have been ready at 7 pm and was actually at 11 pm .. and I still didn't mind so muhc) but this thing of being dirty Yes I mind. I'm sorry but I want other people to know , we had a shower in 3 days beacuse of this. A pity because everything else was fine , aslo the other guys there, very friendly.  "
2637570,33957870,2015-06-02,12163556,Charlie,"Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Perfect location in a nice residential area but super close to South Congress as well as downtown. The room is nice and clean, and Pauline was happy to provide a bunch of different extra accommodations. Very cool people staying in the house as well. "
2637570,37527814,2015-07-07,393633,Noelle,Pauline was a gracious and friendly host and the sunporch was exactly what i was looking for.  An excellent place to stay and an easy walking distance from all the South Congress happenings
2637570,39092959,2015-07-20,7918359,Joanna,Pauline was very nice and the place is well located. My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. 
2637570,39461608,2015-07-23,6343567,Is,"I loved the way Pauline makes you feel at home within minutes of being in her house. The bedroom was very private and I enjoyed being close to the garden and listen to the music of the night and its noise. It was such a happy childish pleasure to be in this place. And I slept like a stone... the little I slept because hey, this is Austin and the nightlife is calling for you. There was not a day when Pauline did not have a show, a concert to propose and go to. Also I will always be grateful to Pauline for the gift of Barton springs. This very first evening when she took me, tired from my ride, to this pool of fresh clear water, so we swam amongst fishes, turtles and the good people of Austin, surrounded by trees... Wow. Also: free entrance guys! And last but not least, Pauline has a gift for bringing people together. She enjoys doing that, I met some great people because of her. I'm grateful and I wish all of you travellers to have this experience. In Austin, Pauline's place is the place to be."
2637570,40584636,2015-08-01,10637668,Erin,"Pauline was great!  She was very helpful and gave great suggestions for things to do in the city.  The room was very clean.  A warm, welcoming space. "
2637570,41047072,2015-08-03,12670370,Joey,Pauline was very friendly and accommodating.
2637570,42785147,2015-08-15,28188872,Taylor,"Pauline and her home are so inviting. She was so kind and super human and down to earth when we had conversation. If I could've stayed longer, I totally would've. "
2637570,44856701,2015-08-29,31299984,Phillip,"Felt right at home at Pauline's place. Great location, safe neighborhood, clean and comfortable bed, and a very kind and genuine host. "
2637570,45423086,2015-09-02,6833718,Dominic,"Pauline was a very down to earth host. Being a long time local, she told me about all the good places to eat and attractions to see. Pauline was very nice and I enjoyed talking with her about Austin past and present. The SunPorch was very comfortable and private. I enjoyed waking up to the sounds of the birds and the view. The house is located right where you want to be, close to South Congress and a short drive to Downtown. "
2637570,46081328,2015-09-07,29759618,Benita,"Ms.Pauline was super welcoming and showed us around when we arrived to her home. The room was super cozy and comfortable. It's very spacious with a great bed, a circular table, coffee table, couch, small bookcase, and something that looked like a sewing area. There is also a nightstand and another bookcase(?) on one side of the bed, plus plenty of outlets. Bottom line, it has the storage and space if you need it. The bathroom is shared, but no one ever hogged the bathroom. We never had to wait once to use it. I liked this room because it was so spacious and isolated from the house. I was in Austin for a getaway with my boyfriend. We both felt comfortable and relaxed in the room. We also loved the ceiling with the natural light coming in and you're able to hear what's going on outside whether it's birds singing or raindrops falling on the roof. There is AC in the room, but only used in the evening to midmorning. We were gone most of the day so we didn't mind. If you stay during the day, just open the windows, leave on the fan, and there is a vent system in place to draw out the hot air. Overall, this is a very convenient, super cozy, affordable, safe, and welcoming Austin location. "
2637570,48302698,2015-09-25,5219775,Krysta,"I absolutely loved stayin here. The location was perfect. You can walk to a bus within 5-10 mins to downtown. Springs are a short uber ride away. Close enough to be in the hustle of it but far enough out to be safe and quiet. I didn't quite struggle with the heat much but I will admit it did get quite warm during the day, but that was always a given. Nights cooled off nicely to be comfortable. I had storage space for my things and a beer upon entry! Pauline was wonderful and if you want to experience real southern hospitality I highly recommend stayin here. "
2637570,48843408,2015-09-28,14253821,Bradley,"Pauline was amazing, she immediately made me feel welcome by chatting and asking if I wanted a beer. I was new to Austin, and all of her recommendations I asked for were amazing. The room was as advertised, actually probably a little underplayed in the description - I didn't feel like I was camping at all, it was very comfortable. The SoCo neighborhood is one of the coolest in Austin, and I was able to walk many places. Thank you again, Pauline!"
2637570,49255494,2015-10-02,14446215,Thu,"Staying with Pauline was awesome. The sunroom was very peaceful and quiet, only interrupted by the occasional squirrel or bird hopping across the roof, which was actually cute. I felt very comfortable here and slept well. Pauline was a great host, we had a nice chat over coffee and a smoothie one morning. "
2637570,49609042,2015-10-05,38847136,Weston,"Such an enjoyable stay. My room was the back sunporch, with the kitchen through one door, and a serene backyard through the other. Pauline always had filtered water ready to go for the house, and a growler full left for me on the sunporch. She even went as far as to have a basic breakfast station with bread and toppings, and a coffee bar. She is active around town with great suggestions to fill in an itinerary. She was helpful with the bus schedule, and she lent me her bike one day when it was available. South Congress is a 15 minute walk which I also did because the weather was so damn nice. She sent me a credit for my first Lyft from the airport also. Thanks for everything! Seeyou next time!"
2637570,50622687,2015-10-13,11137661,Riann,"Pauline was a very kind and generous host who makes you feel at home. She offered excellent advice for places to go, where to eat and things to do based on our interests. She's a long time local with extensive knowledge.
The Sun Porch is as described - We had a great stay. 
"
2637570,50900996,2015-10-15,5539522,Jean-Francois,"Pauline was really nice, easy to reach and a great host. She recommended good spots in different neighboorhoods. 
The place was cozy and close to everything we needed. "
2637570,51577561,2015-10-21,13679256,Babak,"Pauline is a great host.

Thank you "

Convenient location and just a short drive to everything. Quiet and safe neighborhood and very cute home. The beds were extra comfy I was kind of sad to come back to my own! Overall, great house and Jinny was available whenever we needed and quick to respond to our questions. No over the top rules just realistic, warm and welcoming. You will definitely feel like you are at home! "
1569679,19792182,2014-09-18,3202115,Meghan,"Great location, very walkable - just around the corner from South Congress and South 1st.  Apartment as described and clean.  Cute decor in main rooms so it feels homey.  Having the access code instead of keys was convenient.  Rental agency was very responsive."
1569679,22016021,2014-10-28,6919700,New,"The great thing about this house was the host leaving you alone to enjoy the space. There is a keyed entry, everything was very clean, and the pictures were true to the space. Nice light in the living area, decent kitchen, good bedrooms. Second shower knob broke the last day of our stay - on way to airport. Emailed the host but no response. No charge either so that was good, but would have been good to acknowledge receipt of the the heads up.  Really liked the treehouse feeling. The yard was great. And most of all, the walkable location to South Congress and S 1st was excellent for our stay. Would recommend it.  "
1569679,22697463,2014-11-12,63995,Sue,"Enjoyed our stay at the townhouse.  It is even nicer than the pictures and very comfortable.  It is a bit smaller than the pictures imply, tho plenty of room for our needs.  Appreciated how well stocked it was, and how delightful to have a blender for morning smoothies.  Thanks!"
1569679,28120006,2015-03-18,5674271,Carrie,"The place was great - clean and easy to use - and the hosts were super communicative. There's a keypad instead of a lock, which solves the problem of spare keys, and everything else you'd expect from a good quality place."
1569679,30772103,2015-04-27,312765,Kim,"Comfortable, clean place to stay within walking distance to South Congress. Host was quick to respond and we had a great stay."
1569679,32538405,2015-05-19,6574479,Mallory,"Nothing beats the location of this home! It's tucked away from the street, but within walking distance of everything you would want to do while visiting Austin. The home was clean, had plenty of unique character and had more than enough space for the four of us. Highly recommend!"
1569679,34491839,2015-06-08,34440667,Mark,"Great location, nice accommodation with good advice on things to do in the area.  Very happy with everything."
1569679,40674684,2015-08-01,32791286,Jay,Nice - great location - safe place 
7670695,41184061,2015-08-04,18076298,Emma,"Loved this little cottage - had everything I needed - clean bathroom, comfy bed, A/C, kitchenette with fridge and reliable wifi! Only stayed a night but could have easily spent a month making it home. Gate to the street makes it easy to come and go as you please. Lovely big garden and friendly hosts - thanks Luke, Mark and Leah - will definitely be back! "
7670695,41302359,2015-08-05,12687520,Denise,"My stay at this cottage was short but very pleasant -- all of the guys were extremely welcoming and friendly. I arrived not having done any homework on transportation or activities and they were more than obliging with helping me out. The room itself was exactly like in the pictures, very cosy, with all the amenities necessary. Beautiful garden!"
7670695,41531256,2015-08-07,40329250,Chris,"Overall we had a great experience. Luke was a welcoming host and the space was clean and well maintained. Any issues we had with the space were very minor and not even worth mentioning. Overall the atmosphere was very relaxed and the location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to do, we were right in the middle of everything! The house and yard were very nice and the whole experience was quiet and pleasant. We would definitely recommend Luke's place to anyone looking for a chill stay in Austin with very close access to a lot of what Austin has to offer. Thanks Luke!"
7670695,41708696,2015-08-08,22772996,Christian,"Even though we spent one night, it was still a great experience! Even though Luke wasn't available he made sure his roommates were there to help us with anything. Very informative and cozy place. Enjoyed everything about it and the distance to 6th street and any other place. Really recommend this to anyone that wants to experience what Austin has to offer! "
7670695,41908924,2015-08-09,40796881,David,Luke has a great spot in a very centrally located part of Austin.  The cottage has everything needed for a comfortable stay and the AC was cranked full blast (definitely appreciated in the middle of August)!  The check in and check out logistics were smooth and Luke was very responsive to any questions we had.  Highly recommended!  
7670695,43142898,2015-08-17,8412189,Ali,This was a safe enough location to park my car with my belongings on the street and it was only a $10 uber or lyft from downtown Austin.  The place itself was clean and as pictured.  The private entrance made it feel like I had rented my own place.  Luke and his rommates were very welcoming and gave me many suggestions as to where to spend my time.
7670695,44003435,2015-08-23,35296732,Justin,"Great little suite that has everything you need for half the price of a hotel/motel! Check in was very easy, check out even easier. Parking is very limited. The neighborhood is beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous homes. The suite is very private, quiet and equipped with an air conditioner as well. Plus a bathroom/shower. You're only a couple blocks from one of the main streets that lead to Downtown Austin. Had a great time!"
7670695,44970432,2015-08-30,37438270,Alex,"Luke was very nice and accommodating. The lodging was better than expected, considering the affordable rate and incredible location. The room was large, the bed was comfortable, and despite being located in the heart of the city, the area was calm and quiet through the day and night. Two thumbs up. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
7670695,45992051,2015-09-07,35025350,Wayland,The guesthouse was very comfortable and the location was ideal. Very clean. 
7670695,46518303,2015-09-11,41674886,Christos,"Luke's accommodations were well set up, with everything basic that you would need available to you. The listing provided was accurate and reflected the actual residence. Being in a cul-de-sac, the neighborhood was quiet and low-key, just what I was looking for."
7670695,46778768,2015-09-13,36094713,Erica,Luke's place is a great deal! Check-in and check-out went super smoothly and he provided a great info packet helpful to those wanting to explore the city! The garden villa is quaint and perfect for those planning on spending the days out and about and just needing a place to rest your head at night. 
7670695,47733735,2015-09-21,41353627,Neil,"Luke was awesome, very easy to work with. He quickly communicated every time I had a question, and the whole process could not have been easier and more smooth. "
7670695,48626645,2015-09-27,15722780,Liz,"Luke's Garden Villa Private Suite is just that! A cute private suite in a nice Austin neighborhood, this was just the spot for us on a quick trip to town. Luke welcomed us on arrival, explained all the details and opened the room for us. We didn't have time to enjoy the garden or patio, next time!! Thank you Luke and AirBnB!"
7670695,49154552,2015-10-01,23788993,Philip,A great little space! Very affordable. Luke didn't seem to mind my coming and going at all hours of the night.
7670695,49452749,2015-10-04,35471753,Edita,"Great location,clean and cosy.   "
7670695,49992293,2015-10-08,42619338,Tiburcio,"I was made to feel very welcome, and offered access to a nice yard and patio. Keys were given to me and there were notes for wifi access and phone numbers if I needed assistance. Also left info on what I might do while in town. Cottage was clean and was exactly what I expected. Easy access, never saw or interrupted my host. Neighborhood was very quiet, never saw anyone the whole time I was there. Bed looks like it might not be comfortable but actually was. I'm a pretty big person, so I was pleasantly surprised. I actually didn't spend much time there, as I wanted to explore the city. Good for one person, a little tight for any more. Could use a small mirror for shaving and a suitcase rack would also enhance the experience.    "
7670695,50994203,2015-10-16,26265583,Jen,"This place is great! I love the privacy, the location, and the price. Not to mention the hosts are very kind and hospitable. I would recommend others to stay and would definitely stay here again."
7670695,51135544,2015-10-18,20132727,Dan,"Great experience!  Private, air-conditioned gust-house type set up.  Perfect for one or two people.  Host was friendly but allowed us our space at the same time.  A fine Airbnb stay.  "
7670695,51593492,2015-10-21,23801947,Ahmed,"Very good, clean and comfortable private suite. I stayed there for a couple of nights and my experience was pleasant overall. The location is just 1 minute away from bus #5 station which goes to downtown. Luke was very responsive and replied to emails in a very short time. I would recommend it for ideal stay in Austin."
7670695,52069271,2015-10-26,43307079,Theo,Everything was as described. We arrived and the suite was ready for when we got there. Great location.
7670695,52515064,2015-10-30,45995926,Berkeley,"Luke was very responsive. CLean,  somewhat spartan, mattress a little thin for my liking, not the hottest water, but overall excellent value in a great location on Austin."
927607,3806789,2013-03-17,5072849,Glenn,"What a great place and lovely people! Communication was excellent both before, during and after our stay. 
Highly recommended!"
927607,5488427,2013-07-02,1482120,Kristi,"From our first interaction Mike and Nina were great hosts! I received a phone call from Nina before our trip where she asked me lots of questions to attempt to tailor our experience in her home. She acquired bikes and helmets for our kids to use, arranged the bedding how I wanted it, etc. The house was clean and inviting when we arrived. I was amazed at how much natural light there was. Nina was very thoughtful and had purchased some cereal, milk and other items for us upon arrival. My kids were enamored with the house, quickly declaring it ""the most amazing house ever"". The bright colors and fun toys/books/etc. quickly won them over. 

The house is in an amazing location. Next to Zilker Park and Barton Springs, and a quick drive downtown. There were lots of restaurant and shopping options nearby (I ate at Chuy's far too many times - so delicious!). 

The house was very comfortable and very kid friendly. So many fun and interesting books, netflix, toys and art supplies were plenty. 

If we ever had any issues Nina and Mike were easily accessible via text or phone call, and always very kind and easy to work with. 

I only wish I could live in such a convenient location, with such amazing surroundings. A perfect place to visit. "
927607,8820152,2013-11-19,8896015,Daniel,"Mike and Nina were super responsive and incredibly accommodating. The location is perfect! Close to the airport, close to downtown, and close to great local eats! The house is great. Spacious and tons of natural light. Thanks for everything!!"
927607,10879468,2014-03-11,5027862,Justin,"Very kind family, went out of their way to help us secure another bicycle for #SXSW -- and a beautiful home! Great option for a small group of colleagues looking for a place easily commutable to downtown and the best views in the city."
927607,11044241,2014-03-18,5072849,Glenn,"This was our second time here, and we won't hesitate to make it a third if we get the chance. 
Mike and Nina were the perfect hosts as the last time and the house is still amazing. Thank you so much!
"
927607,11802964,2014-04-15,1112910,Gayitri,"Just organized a girls weekend to celebrate my sister's upcoming wedding, and Nina and Mike's place was a great pick! I had done extensive research to find a place that was both affordable and lovely and their house fit the bill.   
 
Before arriving they were very responsive to any questions I had about their place and what to do in Austin. Hamilton Pool was among their recommendations, which I otherwise wouldn't have come across, a wonderful pick!

Their house comfortably sleeps 6 when you're doubling up (1 master bed, 1 queen sized pull out, 1 cot, 1 single bed) and with an air mattress we were able to fit our group of 8. The house is in Barton Springs, situated perfectly for us. On a quiet street, easy access to trail heads, and a ~10min drive to South Congress and the Austin life. The house comes with a deck, which we enjoyed in the late afternoons too.

Overall a great stay and very down to earth, attentive hosts!"
927607,21195249,2014-10-13,3499718,Serena,"The house is spacious and the deck is fantastic. Nina and Mike were in touch lots before and during the stay, and got lots of breakfast items in, which was very kind. Also well situated for a trip to ACL, as it's only a 20 min walk to the site. It's just the hill you've got to make friends with on the way back each evening ☺️"
927607,22224146,2014-11-02,6549369,Megan,"Mike and Nina's place was perfect! We were in town for a wedding and the location and neighborhood was central and safe. Nina really made us feel welcome by touching base in the days prior to our stay. She set up the house for us based on the number of people we had so that we were the most comfortable. She also stocked the fridge with some essentials to help get us through the weekend. They left detailed notes about the house, and also what to do around Austin. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the weekend if I had any questions. 

I would definitely recommend Mike and Nina's house for anyone going to Austin. Beyond it being a clean, comfortable home with great hosts, it's centrally located so you can get almost anywhere pretty quickly. 
"
927607,28083753,2015-03-17,27585211,Oliver,"Wir haben uns sofort wie Zuhause gefühlt. Das wunderschöne Haus liegt mitten in einer ruhigen Wohngegend. Die Terrasse lädt zum Chillen ein. Unser Gastgeberin Nina hat für ein Grundbefüllung des Kühlschrankes gesorgt, was nicht selbstverständlich ist. Es war rundum perfekt. Wir können das Haus zu 100% weiterempfehlen. "
927607,50429591,2015-10-12,33940369,Beth,"Nina and Mike were most welcoming!  Their home was bright, open and airy.  They left fresh produce and drinks for us, great hosts!"
5670682,28154743,2015-03-18,29353356,Nelson-Mandela,everything was awesome. Brian was very helpful with everything I needed.
2406189,10943473,2014-03-14,12360045,Roman,"Carrie is a very conscientious host and a super nice person. She made everything easy from arrival to check out and her dogs are sweet and friendly.  And if you're going there for SXSW, which was my reason for being in Austin, it's near enough to downtown that renting a car is not necessarily required.  But a bike would help.

The bed is very comfortable and I would strongly recommend the room unless you are a neat freak or can't stand a little dirt here and there. The house could be a little cleaner."
2406189,11027148,2014-03-17,1904910,Ashley,The house is in a great location and is really well-kept! Carrie was super nice and very hospitable! Highly recommended!
2406189,11134509,2014-03-22,12806807,Autumn,Carrie was an excellent host with a beautiful space and personality. She was very helpful with directions and guiding me to the best shopping deals in Austin ever! I took the bus around and it was extremely easy as the bus stops are located just a block away. Fantastic fresh juice bar and trails nearby. Carrie is also a gifted singer and I was fortunate to hear some great live music. I'd definitely stay here again.   
2406189,14252875,2014-06-15,16541931,Mark,"Carrie was a great host in her sweet little house close to the river on the eastside. You can get to downtown easily on a bus, or it's a good walk, about 30 mins. She was very helpful with local info, and went out of her way to show me around."
2406189,15381743,2014-07-07,14228868,Jameson,"Great Host!  Carrie was extremely nice and made sure we had everything we needed.  Everything was clean, everything was exactly as in the pictures.  A great house!

That being said, my friend and I who stayed just weren't the right fit.  We weren't looking for much more than a place to sleep.  And we didn't sleep very well.  We could hear the conversation and late night cooking session going on until late.  Then some more people came in around 2 or 3 in the morning.  They were really loud, playing piano and guitar, and nearly yelling about how great their night was.  When it came to our one goal of getting a good sleep, the night we chose was not the right night.  I'm sure Carrie would have accommodated us better if we had planned ahead more than 2 days."
2406189,16190391,2014-07-22,16732265,John,"We loved the apartment!  Carrie was very accommodating, the rooms were clean and it was easy to get downtown.  If you love dance music go to the White Horse which is about a 20 minute walk away, and leave the black kitten outside.  "
2406189,16325296,2014-07-25,2972316,Rich,"Great spot, super location. Carrie was very friendly. Best dog in Austin."
2406189,17029533,2014-08-05,18381946,Nicky,"Definitely recommend staying with Carrie in Austin. We had the best time ever. The location was great and there's free parking all round. You can obviously keep to yourself, but we spent some time with Carrie and it was so worth it! Learnt plenty of tips on where to go/what to do and had a lot of fun. If you want a true Austin experience here is where you need to stay. Thanks Carrie!"
2406189,18778560,2014-08-31,11878338,Ben,Carrie was very accommodating and friendly.  She accepted my last minute reservation promptly.  She invited me to go out to breakfast with her friends and I had a great time.  I look forward to visiting again.
2406189,18928301,2014-09-02,19203403,Mo,"The highlight of our weekend in Austin was not the lovely city but the new friends we made.  Carrie is an extremely welcoming and respectful host. She is a beautiful social butterfly who host AirBNB guest to share her passion for people and the community.  From the moment we arrived at her cute house in the arguably  best area of Austin, we felt like part of the family (her pets are awesome). Our stay was a friendly reminder to enjoy life by connecting to warm and charming individuals, sharing cultures, laughs, food and even song.  Our room was exactly as described.  Her house was close to the eclectic booming East Austin Scene and she is happy to show you around or leave you to your own itinerary.  We will  stay at Carries any chance we get. Thanks again for your generosity."
2406189,21644339,2014-10-20,22546014,William,"Carrie was very friendly and accommodating, bed was huge and very comfortable. Her fantastic recommendations for places to see in Austin made our stay an excellent three days."
2406189,21930607,2014-10-26,16288487,Kevin,We didn't actually meet the host but the house was in a decent location. Short bus ride into the centre of Austin which is a great city. 
2406189,22765270,2014-11-14,4802990,Andreas,"Everything worked out quite well. Carries brother awaited me, showed me everything in the house. The neighbourhood is nice - with the Colorado River just around the corner, a very good mexican restaurant and other facilitues nearby. The bed in the room is very convenient...."
2406189,25511214,2015-01-18,25304574,Daniel,"i stayed in this great apartment for a week and it was one of the best weeks i had... the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, and located in a prefect location. the apartment is equipped with all the cooking accessorizes you can possibly think of. the privet room is cool and the bed is really comfortable. 
Carrie is a lovely host and she took care of everything i needed. she is a responsible and friendly and i'm glad i met her. i will happily stop by again next time ill be at Austin.

o and by the way- arti is truly the best dog in austin!"
2406189,25734200,2015-01-24,2649601,Kristin,"Carrie is the best host of all time. Her home was beautiful, comfortable, clean, and close to lots of great stuff. At times, I was worried that I would wake up from a dream. But thankfully it was real!"
2406189,26173727,2015-02-05,27161792,Meryl,Carrie was great. We got in and she greeted us warmly. Showed us around the house and where to find everything we needed. She invited us to stay in for dinner with her and a friend. We had plans so she gave us a key and let us know that she'd be there if we needed anything. The bed was awesome and we slept great. Everything was clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay with her again. Thanks for everything. And give Artie a pat on the head. 
2406189,26629089,2015-02-16,26932728,Allison,"I came to Austin for a wedding and stayed at Carrie's house with my cousin. It was my first visit to Austin and my first time using airbnb, and let me just say, the bar is now set very high! I felt immediately welcomed by Carrie. She is super friendly, fun, and awesome all around. She was nice enough to invite us to hang out with her and her friend, and she even showed us around some cool places in the city. She definitely went above and beyond in every way. In a matter of moments we were sharing a glass of wine and chatting like old friends. She is very generous and will definitely make you feel at home! The house is very inviting and tidy, and the neighborhood is peaceful and cute. The bed is also super comfortable :) It was seriously one of the best trips I've had in a long time, and a large part of that is because of Carrie! I definitely highly recommend staying here. I seriously want to move in. I will for sure stay here any time I am back in Austin, and you should too!"
2406189,27693716,2015-03-09,28268647,Matt,"I was a solo traveler to Austin and had not been before. I was welcomed into Carrie's beautiful home and immediately felt like I belonged. Her and her friends were full of great recommendations for cafés, restaurants, runs and live music venues and they even invited me along with them to things. Carrie is a fabulous cook and I was lucky enough to sample this whilst with her.
The house is spacious with 2 large bathrooms and good showers. On street parking outside the house worked easy.
Arti the dog isn't a small dog but he's great fun, nothing but love and a great running partner if you so desire. 
Would recommend/come back in a heartbeat. "
2406189,27864994,2015-03-13,28684320,Fredrik,"Carrie is a great host! Her house is in a really cool area of Austin. Good communication. Clean house, great room and comfy bed. I felt very welcomed by her and her friends. And her dog. Highly recommended! "
2406189,28305743,2015-03-22,2807418,Dorothy,"Carrie was a fabulously warm-hearted and welcoming host. She made me feel very much at home. I spent a week there during SX and it was such a relief to have the comfortable, cozy house to get away to when I needed some quiet time. Great neighborhood. A lovely place to experience being part of Austin. ...and I slept really well in that bed. Thank you, Carrie. "
2406189,29373615,2015-04-06,18021297,Erix,Carrie was absolutely amazing!!  Definitely one of the best most charming most charismatic and most attentive house I've ever stayed with! She was very helpful in every way possible and made my stay super enjoyable! The room was very clean the house was beautiful and well-maintained and she was very courteous! I would not hesitate to use her again or to refer her to anyone else!! Carrie is an example of the best of what Air BNB has to offer!!
2406189,29895148,2015-04-13,1167805,Tim,"Carrie is a delight and a wonderfull representative of her city.  I would stay with her again and miss her if I didn't. Details:  I reserved the room with instant booking and we began texting for our arrival immediately. Check in was flawless, the bed comfortable, we ate lasagne she prepared, drank wine, played games and felt a part of her Austin neighborhood.  Being a dog lover, Arthur was a fun addition for me, but could be over-powering to someone not accustomed to a larger dog. Check out was generous as she invited us to stay as long as we like, so we left after lunch and hugs."
2406189,31088131,2015-05-01,3745262,Ricardo,I had a great stay at Carrie's place. The house is beautiful and her dog is super friendly! The bed is super comfortable and everything is nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again.
2406189,32636327,2015-05-19,29759067,Nicole,"My sister and I stayed with Carrie! When our flight got in she was actually on her way out but made sure she was available to show us the house and introduce us to her super cute, friendly dog, Arthur. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house but the time that we did spend there was very comfortable and enjoyable! Carrie was super friendly & gave great advice for what to do/eat/see in Austin."
2406189,33192546,2015-05-25,4412197,Rachel,"Carrie is very laid back, flexible and welcoming. The bedroom was large and the bed was amazingly comfortable (great bed, and great linens). Easy parking on the street. The shared bathroom has nice water pressure. She had two other airbnb guests staying when we stayed with her. She is very open that she has a very large dog who is friendly, but does jump up on people (so, you really need to be absolutely comfortable with large dogs).

It was a nice place to stay for us as we attended a wedding!"
2406189,45200333,2015-08-31,15944791,Ryan,"Carrie made us feel very welcome, and we couldn't have asked for a better Airbnb experience. Everything worked really well, and the bed was bigger than advertised. We can't recommend this place enough!"
2406189,46206811,2015-09-08,10059851,Annie,"While I did not get to meet Carrie since she was gone for the weekend, I still had a pleasant time. Her partner, Darren, took over for her, and he was a great host -- nice and communicative. I loved staying at Carrie's place for many reasons: great location, clean bathroom/room and super comfortable bed! I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend Carrie's place to anyone! "
2406189,50430366,2015-10-12,2314416,Karina,"Hi Carrie, 

Thank you very much for your hospitality. Everything was very nice. Communication was superb. Thank you for helping us getting an UBER to get to ACL festival and for the nice snacks. Carrie was also extremely helpful with her tips on Austin and numerous restaurant recommendations.

The room was good and house was in close proximity to Downtown and SoCo neighborhoods (7 min drive or so with no traffic).

Carrie's dog Arthur was real fun. He is friendly and loves to play.

Thanks for the good stay!
Karina and Bill"
2406189,52177580,2015-10-26,1342491,Dominic,"Carrie was an awesome host, and her dog Artie was a total sweetheart. Lovely space, and convenient to downtown on bikes and buses - I'd definitely recommend."
5260692,28128408,2015-03-18,2043953,Dany,"Simply put this place is AMAZING! Very comfy, stylish apartment that’s perfectly located for visiting the great city of Austin. Plus with impeccable hosting from Karen and Carter you honestly couldn’t ask for more!

Featuring a fantastic bathroom and shower space, excellent kitchen facilities with everything you could need being available. The home included, kitchen ware, towels, cable TV, Apple TV, and plenty of living space just to spread out. 

The neighbourhood is fabulous, the nearest bus station being just a 5 min walk, walking downtown is an easy and enjoyable experience, head down Kinney, Lamar, 5th, 1st and SoCo and you’ll see a different side to Austin each and every time.  There’s a local grocery store within 10 min walk, plus a giant CVS which has everything you could ever need literally over the road. 

The hosts were awesome! We kept in touch weeks prior to the trip providing lots of great information and recommendations of what to see/do/drink and eat whilst in town I’m just sorry I didn’t have enough time time to do it all! 

Extremely highly recommended, but book early or I’ll have bagged the place again!"
5260692,49398994,2015-10-03,45273663,Ree,Karen and Carter could not have been more helpful.  We enjoyed the location and our private space with everything we needed.  Hope to stay again.
685447,2658844,2012-10-19,3701589,Sunny,"If you're down with some rustic - and I mean rustic - camping, this place is a paradise. Feels like you're out in the woods but a short drive or bike ride and you're in the heart of town. Great community of people living here too, I had a blast. Highly recommended!"
685447,3293507,2013-01-06,4456326,Cole,Jim O was completely accommodating and saved my hide with some extra blankets when I was ill-equipped for the weather.  Very Cool Spot.
685447,3806525,2013-03-17,2220466,Colin,"Great experience! Best value of sxsw in my opinion. Great for those going to Austin on a budget. Jim and everyone at the site really create a great community vibe, which is nice. Loved it!


Pro tip: it gets really cold at night, so be prepared to sleep in a coat of some kind. 

Also, when he says rustic, he means RUSTIC! But it was great! "
685447,20058754,2014-09-22,3298584,Kiri,"Jim was very friendly when we met him, though his communication prior to our arrival was a bit lacking. To be fair, we arrived the day after some of the worst flooding Austin has seen in some time, so he was distracted with clean-up. I wish we had been better informed about the extent of the flooding though, as it had created a lot of broken glass and debris around the site, as well as wiping out most of the benches and the fire pit you see in the photo. When we first arrived we weren't sure we were at the right place; the camping area is at the back of a cluster of trailers and homes and there was no one to greet us. However, when Jim did become aware of our arrival he led us to a nice high ground spot and made sure we knew where to find everything. It was a quiet location and we were left alone during our stay. I can't say that I would recommend staying here at the current price while the grounds are in their current state. If you have a large group, the ground is very dangerous with the amount of glass, etc. spread through-out.  The location is nice, about 2mi from all the happenings on South Congress, though you would probably prefer to drive or bike the distance than walk. I struggled with the star rating, because it's clear we went at a bad time and this isn't a typical airbnb listing. "
685447,20926775,2014-10-07,21748351,Molly,"Jim was an excellent host! We showed up later than we had planned due to a storm, but he was very understanding and showed us around the camping area. It was the perfect location! We got the camping experience while still being super close to the city. I definitely recommend Jim's to anyone traveling to Austin!"
685447,27980456,2015-03-15,1912963,Vidal,We had a great stay at Jim's place. We arrived late and setup camp in the dark. This is camping in the city so you can hear traffic. You also hear hooting and howling from various creatures. Other guests and residents were warm and inviting. Overall we had an enjoyable stay. 
685447,28345907,2015-03-22,28776714,Elena,"Jim has a great set up, so many great people and animals to meet and land to explore. stayed for southby and an easy 15 min drive into austin"
685447,29785327,2015-04-12,29947702,Kristin,"Jim was a very welcoming host. And I couldn't have been more pleased with my stay there. I loved the property, and appreciate how well maintained it is! The outdoor shower was awesome and having never used a compost outhouse before I was impressed by it's cleanliness and organization :) Would for sure stay here again next time I'm in Austin! "
7456066,40054029,2015-07-27,39305132,Chelsea,The condo was beautifully designed and very well kept. Shea is very helpful and flexible. I would definitely stay here again!
7456066,40530772,2015-07-31,39484610,Derrik,"A pretty awesome experience. The place is beautiful, I was pretty amused to walk in and see Dylan on the wall and Neil Young on the record player. It's a lot bigger than you'd expect too, I've stayed in Hiltons more cramped than this. Shea's super-friendly and gave plenty of recommendations on where to go in the city."
7456066,40862572,2015-08-02,11774534,Nathan,"Excellent!!!  Shea was awesome.    Best host.   Very good communication, room was perfect and clean!  Plenty of privacy and pool is right outside the apartment.  Very personalized experience for me and my wife"
7456066,41489885,2015-08-07,33861154,Sarah,"I would book again! Shea was a wonderful host and his place is beautiful.  It was a clean, quite, and calm getaway with a pool! His condo is covenitenly located next to MoPac and a short drive to downtown. "
7456066,42577992,2015-08-14,31998168,Kelsey,We have a great time in Austin and Shea was a wonderful host. His place was clean and close to everything. He was friendly and let us come and go as we please. I would definitely recommend staying with him.
7456066,44224291,2015-08-24,33432942,Vu,Shea was an amazing host! Every flexible and accommodating! Super friendly as well.  His apartment scrub clean and cozy and beautifully decorated.
7456066,44559287,2015-08-27,29831730,Apurva,Shea was great and accommodating. The house is at an awesome location right on Mopac for easy access to UT and Downtown
7456066,44814309,2015-08-29,40610294,Whitney,"The apartment was easy to find, quiet, and comfortable. It was a pretty cool place! Shea was nice and communicative. It was in a nice location (very close to Mount Bonnell) and very close to the highway so getting downtown was super easy! "
7456066,44998645,2015-08-30,32206857,David,"I had a great stay at Shea's. Our paths never crossed, but I was greeted by his friendly cat. The space was clean and decorated with an industrial sprit: Edison bulbs, dark wood and leather, rot-iron piping.  Wish this was condo. The bed was good and the sheets were clean. Bathroom next to my room also spacious and clean. Will stay again. "
7456066,45202993,2015-08-31,347030,Hao,"Very nice space,perfect for the weekend getaway, great location with easy access to MOPAC, Capitol, downtown and UT.  I also got to enjoy the pristine pool right outside backdoor.  Shea was a gracious host and made every accommodation to make sure all needs were met and communicative.  Definitely would bookmark this place for future visits."
7456066,46551869,2015-09-11,43491523,Don,"The location is great. Plenty of parking.  Just a block from MoPac and 10 minutes to all the restaurants, shopping, movies on Anderson. I will definitely stay again."
7456066,46922193,2015-09-14,7706932,Aaron& Ashley,Great location close to the Mopac and walking distance to a Car2Go home zone. The accommodations and neighborhood were lovely. There was a friendly kitty that added to the cozy atmosphere of Shea's home. Unfortunately due to both our schedules I only got to meet Shea as I was rushing out to the airport. However he was very friendly and accommodating.
7456066,47505382,2015-09-19,42157474,Carlos,Shea was an awesome host. Very accommodating and helpful. His place was very clean and the area is nice and quiet. I really enjoyed my stay there and would recommend to anyone. Would definitely stay there again.
7456066,48114596,2015-09-23,5216397,Kelly,"Shea was really great! I felt very welcome, his place is very nice and clean, too! "
7456066,48931554,2015-09-29,5636554,Sophia,"Shea was a laid back host. He wasn't around too much, which was nice since I was there with my husband. He is fairly new to hosting and I gave him some feedback while I was there and he was totally responsive to it. His cat is like the sweetest most lovable cat ever! Also if you want to chat about business or Ayn Rand, he is your man! We had an awesome conversation with him one night. Thanks Shea!"
7456066,49816219,2015-10-06,44084664,Sean,"The perfect place to stay for my trip to Austin - in a neighborhood that was quiet and tucked away from the crowds of Austin City Limits Fest. Clean, with a view over the pool on the condo complex. I heard the kind of rates charged by others for staying closer to Zilker Park and the short trip in using Uber made this a complete no-brainer. Thoroughly recommended!"
7456066,51452772,2015-10-20,43786852,Lisabeth,"Very enjoyable stay! Quiet, peaceful, and great location! Shea was an excellent host. Definitely recommend! "
7456066,52126194,2015-10-26,40862363,Michael,The place was clean & quiet as advertised. The location near the Mopac was also an advantage. 
7456066,52646596,2015-10-31,47251586,Tanvir,"Staying at Shea's was great. 10 mins away from work and have all the good eating places around.  His cat Cali was fun to be around. The room was safe, clean and quite. He was a great host. Allowed my to use the utilities at his home. If I get a chance will surely stay there again."
8172241,47129600,2015-09-15,24807178,Clemens,"Amana was a nice host.  My schedule on the day of my check in was a bit fluid, but she was able to meet up and get me checked in a few minutes after I arrived.  The location is not big, simple, and suitable for a short stay especially if you plan to be traveling around, because it is close to the restaurants and shops in the north and not far from downtown either.  It is not fancy and the furniture isn't new, but for the price I can't really complain.  There is also a pool in the complex but I did not use it.  The location is quiet at night.  For this location, it would be easier to travel around if you have a car, although there is bus service close.  Amana made sure to check that I had everything that I needed and that I was comfortable.  The location is simple but the host is very kind."
8172241,49869281,2015-10-06,26762987,Khanh,Place was like the pictures. Bed was comfortable. Place has guest parking. Amana was welcoming person.  
8172241,50729804,2015-10-13,46177262,Magali,"The room is similar to the picture, the flat is simple. The location is perfectly ok if you have a car.
The host was very nice, we had nice talks. She is definitively the reason why I would go back to this Airbnb. "
8172241,50986756,2015-10-16,25795144,Ben,"The stay was awkward and uncomfortable. We could not come and go as we pleased, and were frequently asked to stay out of the space for extended periods of time without adequate notice. Scheduling a time to check-in was quite an ordeal, and there was a severe lack of communication. The bathroom and kitchen were very messy. The drain in the shower was clearly clogged and water would pool ankle deep while trying to shower. The stay was altogether pretty unpleasant. I can't complain too much, as the price was very cheap and the location was OKAY. You get what you pay for."
8172241,51233990,2015-10-18,1182941,Jillian,"Amana seemed very nice (although I never met her in person), but unfortunately I had a terrible stay at her apartment. My biggest complaint is that there was hair everywhere - including the bathroom sink, the toilet seat, the guest sheets, the pillow, and all over the floor. I don't know if the bedding was even changed after the last guest, but it didn't look like it. The room was really cold overnight, and the bedding provided was not sufficient enough to keep me warm. And I guess the smoke detector had run out of batteries, because it was chirping all night long and all morning before I left. I didn't get any sleep and I couldn't wait to leave. It also would have been nice if her boyfriend had put a shirt on at some point, but I guess he couldn't be bothered. I really wish I had stayed elsewhere, I felt extremely uncomfortable. "
5106074,28003991,2015-03-16,4580163,Brendan,"Beautiful house, excellent location, amazing overall experience! Despite how nice the pictures are, the house is actually much larger and beautiful in person. I came with work colleagues for SXSW and it was the perfect location! "
5241715,28908775,2015-03-31,14171355,Cindy,"John was super flexible with our check in and check out time, which we really appreciated. Since we were on vacation, it was really nice to have a host who was very responsive and flexible with our needs. 
He replied to my text messages really quickly. 
He left a lot of towels for us to use, which is also a huge plus in my book. 
His apartment is right by a beautiful trail that follows along a gorgeous river, where there were a lot of spots for swimming and hanging out. Being able to take a easy hike (or a hard one if you felt like it) every morning helped get the day started off the right foot. 
The place was a little smaller than the photos look, but the couch is extremely comfortable. There weren't any soap in the bathroom/shower, but there's a convenience store half a block away so that was no problem. 
It's a good place to come back to at the end of a long day outdoors!"
5241715,29792385,2015-04-12,8688391,Audrey,"Stayed here with 2 of my girlfriends. John was a great host. Very easy to communicate with via texts. He always responded very quickly and the check-in and check-out process could not be easier. He was even flexible with check-out times which was a major plus. Thanks John! The apartment was nice, clean, and cozy. Bed was comfortable and lots of towels for us to use. The only quirk about his place is there is only one light switch for the sink/toilet/shower and no door to separate that light from the rest of the bedroom. But other than that... my friends and I really enjoyed his cozy apartment. Also, the location is great. Quiet neighborhood with lots of surrounding greenery for good sleep. But close enough to all the action of Austin...very affordable and short Uber rides to get you downtown. I would recommend John's place! "
5241715,31276051,2015-05-03,28580753,Gao,"It was great experience with John and his apartment. John was extremely responsive and helpful. The neighborhood is quiet. The room is very clean and comfortable. Great location for the price -- only 5 min drive to City Hall where you can find plenty parking spots and enjoy the city of Austin (I assume it's also a reasonable uber ride if you do not drive). The food mart, located a few steps away, has a surprisingly fine collection of wine and beer for a good night drink, and bread & milk for a decent breakfast, although lack of fresh produce. However, no worries about dinner because the tacodeli restaurant, right next to food mart, is fantastic!"
5241715,33002207,2015-05-24,29515279,Alejandra,The house was just perfect! It was cozy and so close to all of the bars. It was maximum a 6 minute uber. He left us towels and enough toiletries. So thankful for everything. Would definitely rent again! 
5241715,47780238,2015-09-21,42534043,Renee,John was very responsive which made preparing for the trip easy! The place was clean with clean bedding and towels too. Kitchen is stocked with basic supplies if you want to cook here. He even had a hdmi cable so we could plug in a computer and watch netflix! Wifi worked great. This location is about 5-10 minute drive from downtown - very conveniently located. There is also a bus a block up the street that takes you to downtown.  
5241715,48416789,2015-09-26,10767536,Joey,John was great and very responsive. The condo was also clean and ready to go. There is not much around there but the taco place and smoothie joint down the road were fantastic. Both spots John recommended. The bed was a foam mattress which is my favorite but I could have slept on the floor and been happy. All in all....good experience and would go back in a heartbeat.
5241715,49539119,2015-10-04,45072149,David,"John was very responsive and flexible on the few questions I had.  The place was clean, simple, and close enough to walk to ACL Fest.  Just what I was looking for.   Plus, very short walk to coffee/sandwich/convenience store and great taco place.   "
5241715,50533591,2015-10-12,45155004,Adam,"Apartment was clean and a great location. Easy communication with host and we had no issues finding the place, checking in, or out. We stayed for ACL fest and this place was perfect!"
191719,18846627,2014-09-01,7353490,Jason,John was great and I would recommend his place with confidence. Excellent communication and the condo was exactly as described. A+

191719,20093047,2014-09-23,8658195,Paul,Staying at John's place was great. John replied quickly to any questions before our arrival and was incredibly accomodating. The place had plenty of space for a party of five. The location was great for our needs too (Fantastic Fest at the Alamo right around the corner). Overall excellent! 
191719,20818408,2014-10-06,15494316,Kristen,John was extremely helpful and easy to get ahold of.  Easy walk to Zilker Park for ACL and nice outdoor area.
191719,21193271,2014-10-13,15021301,Patricia,The house was perfect for ACL! You get exactly what's in the listing (and not one of those pictures-were-better-than-real-life situations) which was pretty awesome. John was great at giving updates with matters concerning the rental. Thank you for a great experience!
191719,21523929,2014-10-19,8883790,Kevin,"We had a wonderful stay for our first trip to Austin, we'll definitely be back. John was a great host checking up with us if we needed anything."
191719,21881345,2014-10-26,16727889,Wendy,"John is a great host. He's super responsive and the property is conveniently located to all of the major attractions including Barton Springs, the bats, downtown, flagship Whole Foods, etc. Also the beds are really comfy. We had a great stay!"
191719,22233405,2014-11-02,2630931,Liz,"The apartment was just as promised, well appointed and spotlessly clean. John was attentive and helpful, gave us lots of suggestions for restaurants. Great location and a very pleasant experience!"
191719,22584601,2014-11-10,3540041,Peter,"Johns place was fantastic! Great location just off Lamar, easy walking distance to Auditorium Shores (for the Fun fun Fun fest). We sat out on the patio and used the fire pit each night - so cozy! Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!"
191719,22849793,2014-11-16,6354705,Alex,"Very clean, cozy home and John was really great to work with - fast and helpful every step of the way.  Location is right near downtown and the neighborhoods and restaurants we'd been recommended, so can't thank you enough again for great stay.  Definitely recommend "
191719,23449018,2014-12-01,3921231,Jill,"Communication with John was prompt and friendly throughout the booking process and our stay in Austin. When we arrived we were surprised to find that the house is actually one side of a duplex. This wasn't a problem at all, there is room for two cars in the shared driveway, and the units are separated so you don't hear the neighbors at all. I'm just saying this could be more clearly stated. The place is as pictured, clean, cozy, well equipped, and great location. We did feel that it's time for some updating in hall bathroom. Be aware that the house is located immediately off Lamar, a very busy street. This makes for great convenience and some traffic noise. We were four adults and two children and, though John was super accommodating by providing a couple of nice air beds, we found it a little tight. So, depending upon your priorities, know that the bedrooms are smallish. Beds were comfortable and linens fresh, towels plentiful. The washer and dryer worked well and it was great to have them. The fire pit and enclosed yard were an added bonus and we hung there many evenings. We were there for Thanksgiving and the kitchen had all the gadgets, pots and pans, serving pieces we needed to create our holiday meal. We felt totally at home and that's a beautiful thing!!! Thank you, John."
191719,24542372,2014-12-30,1383050,Erika,We spent two nights here and had a fabulous time! John is a super helpful host. The place is great--super comfy with everything you can imagine. We loved the place and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
191719,25267185,2015-01-11,4659354,Joe And Lori,We were looking for a home base while we spent a short week racing bikes at Zilker Park. Jeff's place was perfect. Showers. Kitchen. Comfort. All right there we had a great time. 
191719,25562599,2015-01-19,10172755,Annie,The place was really fantastic - super conveniently located and the house itself was more than we could have asked for. John was really communicative and extremely helpful - great host!
191719,25763229,2015-01-25,25897380,Robert,John did a fantastic job at making sure we were comfortable and had everything we may have needed. We were in constant communication and he was always quick to respond. I will be looking for this property next time I come back to Austin.
191719,25911240,2015-01-29,23166568,Andrew,"I had a great stay at John's house.  Super comfortable environs, and John was a very communicative and informative host.  Would definitely stay here again."
191719,26916802,2015-02-22,5268685,Nora,"John was very responsive and had lots of good recommendations in the area. The apartment was clean and the location was really proximate to the waterfront and park although a bit more of a hike to downtown than I expected. Enjoyed checking out SoCo (about a 20 minute walk) and some of the bars and restaurants along Lamar. There was construction directly across the street from the apartment, which prevented us from really enjoying the backyard. Would've appreciated a heads up on that front but otherwise enjoyed the stay."
191719,27662853,2015-03-09,21900718,Oscar,Great location with a clean living space. Personally was a huge fan of the backyard area very chill. If I'm ever in the area I know where I want to stay at.
191719,28318936,2015-03-22,27706687,Emily,"John was a very attentive and helpful host. He reached out to me while I was in transit to Austin, was always easy to get in touch with while we were there and even offered to help with entertainment suggestions during our stay. The space itself is as seen in the photos. It was very clean upon our arrival and it made for a nice team environment (I was in town with coworkers for SXSW). The location is also very convenient. It is situated near downtown Austin, a short car ride away, but it is definitely walkable. I would definitely recommend staying in John's home and would be happy to stay there again myself if I return to Austin."
191719,28710078,2015-03-29,56642,Keith,"Great place, accommodating host, awesome city. Front yard area is phenomenal for hanging out, beds are comfortable, kitchen & bathrooms are stocked with everything we needed. Would stay again. "
191719,29818602,2015-04-13,16773502,Maggie,"Perfect location for a weekend in Austin. Loved the house and was super comfortable for two couples and one teenager! John was also a great host; everything was clean, inviting, and he even left out some umbrellas since there was a chance of rain that weekend. Would highly recommend to others!"
191719,30193838,2015-04-19,27312089,Josh,"We couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. John's home was very well appointed, and was exactly as advertised. We wanted for nothing throughout our entire stay. John was very helpful and always available to answer any questions that arose. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for all the amenities of home, within walking distance from everything Austin! We will definitely be returning!"
191719,30671166,2015-04-26,26941529,David,The experience was very positive.  House was as advertised and the host was very responsive.  
191719,31782284,2015-05-10,5563195,Richard,"John's place was perfect for our group. Super convenient access to all the Austin highlights--Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Downtown, South Congress. We were in for a wedding and the 2 full bathrooms came in handy for our group of 5. Car-share here is plentiful but we were happy to discover the MetroRapid line--$3.50 for a day pass and gets you up and back in less than 15 minutes and the stop is only a 2 minute walk. Food options everywhere. The backyard was perfect for early evening relaxing! And the best part was John's quick response to our request for another night when our departing flights got cancelled! Thanks John!"
191719,33674097,2015-05-31,11222,Jennifer,Group of five of us had a great stay! Unfortunately did not make good use of the outdoor space due to the rain and such. Location close to everything and easy to get around. Would stay again!
191719,34291645,2015-06-07,29634480,Mackenzie,"John was extremely kind and thoughtful during our stay! He checked in to see if we needed anything and to make sure the house suited our needs. The house was great and the location was spot on- just a few minutes walk to wherever we needed to go. I was very pleased with my first AirBnB experience and I am so grateful for the hospitality and amenities of this house. The only negative of our whole experience was the construction going on next door. At 6 am. On Sunday morning. Other than that, it was a great weekend in Austin!"
191719,34857178,2015-06-13,24461089,Matt,"Thanks John for allowing us to stay!!! It was Wonderful and very comfortable! 

The outside Patio was beautiful and relaxing! It's also a great Location.

I could not rate highly enough!"
191719,35693742,2015-06-21,3365533,Aswin,"John was clear with his messages and made us feel very welcome. I really appreciate the attention to detail (providing umbrellas for the rainy weekend). The house was better in person and decorated tastefully. We really appreciated that the place was clean and that extra better was available.
The neighborhood is amazing and its easy to walk to the new complex featuring its many restaurants. A lot of great food spots were walking distance."
191719,36447801,2015-06-28,35732125,Kelsey,"John made our group feel very welcome this weekend. He checked in with us multiple times. House is as shown in the pictures. Beautiful place, great location. Loved that Shake Shack was just down the street! :) Additionally, the neighbor was kind and very helpful. "
191719,37204885,2015-07-05,35630769,David,John was a wonderful host with a beautiful home.
191719,38059587,2015-07-12,37619036,Brian,Great apartment in a great location! John was a very accommodating host.
191719,38627206,2015-07-17,35430644,Leslie,"The house is cozy, clean and only minutes from everything you want to do in Austin. It's also already stocked with everything you could need. John was an awesome host and even made us a pitcher of tea. Also quick to respond to any questions. "
191719,38866636,2015-07-19,8821687,Stephanie,Great house that is close to everything in Austin! Very spacious and the host was helpful and responsive the entire time. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend visit! 
191719,39790281,2015-07-26,36077080,Sandra,"John made our group feel very welcome this weekend. He checked in with us multiple times. The house is cozy, clean and only minutes from everything you want to do in Austin. House is exactly like the pictures and the outside patio was amazing. John was an awesome host and even made us a pitcher of tea for us to enjoy. "
191719,40752187,2015-08-02,7424710,Victoria,"Wow John's house was perfect.  One of the best rentals I have stayed in.  The place was clean and just as the pictures showed. There were plenty of towels, bedding and sheets. The check in process was very easy.  John was very responsive and stayed in contact to insure everything worked out well.  I will definitely stay here again.  "
191719,41619236,2015-08-08,1835025,Laura,"We had a great time at John's place - the location is in a great neighborhood and very convenient to all the fun stuff in Austin, and the listing was exactly as pictured. It was very clean and homey. Although we didn't meet in person, John was available via email and was easy to communicate with. I'd recommend this listing to anyone traveling to Austin."
191719,42897135,2015-08-16,12131478,Cesar,The house is absolutely incredible and in a amazing area! I would recommend this listing to everyone.
191719,43975468,2015-08-23,39178499,Kristen,"John was very welcoming and proactive about making us feel comfortable in this lovely home. The logistics were absolutely painless and the house was both cozy and clean. Plenty of space, plenty of towels, and wonderful decor. But the best part of all was the location. To find a unit with two driveway parking spots this close to downtown was a dream come true. I will absolutely stay there again for my next adventure to Austin."
191719,44910136,2015-08-30,35384950,Bryce,"John was a wonderful host. He was in touch before our stay and was helpful in getting set up in the area. The house was great for 5 of us and definitely could have accommodated a few more with the air mattresses and couches that were available.

The house in itself was in a great location and we were able to quickly get wherever we needed. The biggest asset of the house was the outdoor patio space. We spent a large portion of the weekend grilling and hanging outside. The amenities are very comfortable and never lacking.

I would definitely recommend this location to anyone. Thanks again for the stay!"
191719,45790342,2015-09-06,23454789,Justine,"The location is amazing and is literally across the street from Shake Shack and about a 5-10 minute uber ride from everywhere we needed to go (soco, rainey street, etc). The house is extremely comfortable and fit the five of us with plenty of room to spare. We especially loved the incredibly comfortable oversized sofa that we lounged on to watch TV :)  The outdoor patio is adorable, and there's plenty of parking space in the driveway and on the street.

John was extremely responsive and helpful with our booking.  He was apologetic that he couldn't allow for an early checkin/late checkout due to being booked back-to-back, but he messaged us as soon as the cleaning crew left to let us know that we could check in at 11am.

I'd definitely stay here again!"
191719,46750659,2015-09-13,41191044,Dave,"John was an awesome host - he made sure that we were able to easily get in and out of the house securely. He had blow-up mattresses that we were able to use and sleep everyone very comfortably. His backyard area was a great place to hang out and chill during the day and evenings prior to going out at night.

The location was perfect too, right across the street from a Shake Shack and a very quick uber ride over to 6th/Rainey Streets. We really enjoyed how close everything was.

John was a very good host in regards to his responsiveness. He was very quick to respond via email to any questions that we had, and even emailed us suggestions of things to do for the day.

Overall, it was a phenomenal experience, and I recommend staying here if you have the chance."
191719,47673037,2015-09-21,39269875,Keith,"The location was fantastic.  Close to downtown, Barton Springs and easy access to the highways.   Rooms were comfortable.  John was very helpful responding to any questions we had on where to go etc.
Uber worked very well."
191719,48498348,2015-09-27,31658005,Seth,"This was the perfect place for my stay - very convenient, comfortable and well kept. Being in town for a festival at the Drafthouse on South Lamar, the location couldn't have been any better.

John was great to deal with - very open and communicative. 

I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin for any reason. "
191719,49217902,2015-10-02,25520179,Victor,"We had a very pleasant time staying here! John was welcoming and helpful through the whole process, and the house was very pleasant and conveniently located for our trip. An A+ experience! Thanks for hosting our group!"
191719,49586564,2015-10-05,26549,Shelley,John was a great host. The house was a great location for ACL and had everything we needed. His responsiveness was greatly appreciated.  I would recommend to all.
191719,51262811,2015-10-19,32008013,Rick,"This is a great little duplex.  It's well appointed and comfortable, clean and well located.  John provided good communication and made our stay easy."
191719,52039577,2015-10-26,25138825,Nathan,This place was perfect for us.  It's in a great location for everything we needed during F1 Race weekend.  John was a great host and quick to respond to any questions we had.  The house great and very comfortable and I recommend it anyone traveling to Austin.  We will definitely stay here again next time.   
191719,52696086,2015-11-01,1121204,Leslie,"John is the best communicator!  He kept in touch and made sure we knew everything we needed to know to check in and how to get there.  We had horrendous travel mishaps, with a flooded Austin airport and had to fly into San Antonio and drive from there. John was extremely accommodating with our challenging situations.  The space is lovely and comfortable, and very welcoming! We would recommend this spot to anyone and would stay there again if we have get the chance to visit Austin once more. Wish we had arrived at our scheduled time and not 15 hours delayed and had more time to spend in Austin! Thanks for everything John."
7366216,49647147,2015-10-05,40589631,Enrique,"La casa muy bien, muy limpia, los baños muy limpios y amplios.
La anfitriona nos ayudó en lo que necesitamos, recibió unos paquetes por nosotros, asi que muy bien también.
Esta un poco retirado del centro, se tiene que tomar uber para llegar."
7366216,52048573,2015-10-26,39049166,John,Larissa is a first class host - every point of contact from the initial enquiries to saying goodbye has been exceptional.  The accommodation was superb - accurately described in every way and spotlessly clean.  The list of places to eat in Austin was great and really helpful.  We hope to return to Austin and would have no hesitation in booking with Larissa again.  5 stars!
750935,3832822,2013-03-19,629843,Gus,Great host. Made everything to make our stay as most confortable possible. I'll definitively look forward stay again there on next trips to Austin.
750935,4275296,2013-04-23,923770,Emily,"James was very accommodating for our last minute reservations, and provided a clean comfortable place for our visit to Austin.  His communication was very helpful, and the location of his house is absolutely perfect for walking around Austin.  Located near a plethora of cafes, bars, boutiques, and good eats, I will defiantly book with him again when headed back to Austin.  "
750935,4454642,2013-05-06,5680628,Mark,James was a very welcoming host and did everything he could to make our vacation a pleasant one. His house is well-furnished and easily one of the best locations available. He's a great guy and you'd do well to rent by him for your Austin experience.
750935,20023424,2014-09-22,19658959,Ullash Ully,"East Austin is amazing. James is a great host, goes above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect.
"
750935,20752947,2014-10-05,20483318,Michael,The entire experience was better than expected.  East of i35 is a cool area that I've never experienced before. The house itself is very comfortable and offers all the necessary amenities. James constantly checked in on us and made sure we were comfortable and always offered to help if help was needed. I will definitely use his service again.  
750935,24690232,2015-01-01,24917316,Austin,Great experience in Austin. Place was clean and slept 7 easily. James was easy to work with and answered all questions quickly. Good host. 
750935,26484223,2015-02-14,23387127,Ashis,"James is an amazing host. The house is as per the description and you get what you see. The rooms were spotless and have very comfortable beds. The house is well equipped more than basic amenities. It has enough floor space for extra people to fit in just in case you have any. The neighborhood is peaceful and has good cuisines. 
"
750935,27994087,2015-03-16,24927432,Matilda,"Trevligt hus och område, välkomnande värd och allt mycket smidigt."

I can't think of a better airbnb experience, highly recommend."
750935,30129075,2015-04-18,388692,Kyle,James went out of his way to accommodate our friends and family during our stay at his home. We did our rehearsal dinner there and left more than a small mess which James cleaned up completely for us. Incredible! We're so blessed to have had James and his home a part of our big wedding weekend. 
750935,30682878,2015-04-26,29043305,Chris,"James was a very informative and accommodating host. We were in constant communication and he was a pleasure to work with. Extremely kind. The place was very clean and prepared for our visit. I highly recommend renting any listing from James. If I return to Austin, I will be!"
750935,33235721,2015-05-26,13830401,Jaime,My group had a nice stay in Austin and James made it easy for us to enjoy our trip.  He was very flexible with our arrival time and departure times.  The house was a perfect jump off point for all of our East Austin events and dining excursions.  There were plenty of towels and extra blankets for us to use and he even left us some top notch coffee to get us started each day!  
750935,50831965,2015-10-15,27702305,Jaime,"James was a great host, very unobtrusive but always available.
The house was very homey and James was very accommodating with some of the switch arounds we had to do to accommodate my wheelchair needs.
I would definitely stay there again"
750935,51054290,2015-10-17,10899627,Michael,"Perfect place to stay for a few days in Austin. James' home is set up for a sizable group, James was always accessible and helpful, and it was a great deal for the price."
8558348,51874053,2015-10-24,42151447,Michaella,"Terrence and the house were both great!! He was happy to answer our questions about Austin and the area......and there were plenty. Excellent location and just a short uber ride to Downtown. 

The apartment is lovely and a great spot for a group of people looking to explore Austin. 

"
8173459,49511644,2015-10-04,25753018,Jun,"They were very nice. They helped us find parking and walked us from the main street to the actual apartment. The apartment is extremely clean. All wood floors. The bedroom was very clean too. We didn't spend too much time actually in the apartment, because we were busy with ACL and Cirque De Soleil, but when we were in the apartment we were very comfortable. We used the fridge to chill our drinks, and the bathroom for showering and cleaning. The bed was comfortable. The last AirBNB we had in Austin had a uncomfortable bed, but my girlfriend was very happy with this one. We couldn't find any comforters but there were enough thermals to keep warm."
8569523,50391397,2015-10-11,30243590,Fatima Diallo,"Funmi was a great host. The apartment was exactly as advertised. The apartment was stocked with plenty of linens and towels, Funmi met us personally to give us the key and show us around. she also stocked the kitchen with snacks.  The neighborhood was okay and had everything we needed. "
1130450,4797259,2013-05-26,6455321,Mark,"Really comfortable, nice bed, great tv. Tons of amenities that made it very comfortable. Great fenced yard for our dog. Beautifully decorated with high end finishes. Great location. Great host. Highly recommend."
1130450,4824151,2013-05-27,4846869,Chris,"Cherrywood Bungalow was an amazing place to stay! Trudy has done an excellent job with this space, including it's total retro decorating motif.  During our time there, I felt like I went back a few decades. The place was private, quiet and peaceful. It certainly did not feel like I was in the middle of Austin. 

Trudy welcomed us warmly and made us feel right at home. I will definitely stay with her again!

"
1130450,4881047,2013-05-30,4385517,Cristina,"GREAT experience.  The bungalow was so unique and beautiful, all the amenities you could want, very clean, spacious.  It was ideal, too, because I had my dog with me and after his morning walks he hung out in a swanky little house all day, happy as a clam- it's hard traveling with pets so I always appreciate places that are truly pet friendly.  Trudy was great, very welcoming, and gave suggestions for food locally.  The location is pretty central to Austin, for those that may want to split time between downtown, Arboretum, and the Round Rock area.  I would love to stay again (but mostly I would love to just rent it forever and make my review moot)."
1130450,4925871,2013-06-02,6376064,Monica,Awesome --- loved this place and want to move in! Trudy was a great host. 
1130450,4951847,2013-06-03,5185498,Martha,"My mother and I came to stay at Trudy's fantastic bungalow for one night and wish we could have stayed longer! The guest house is nestled in Trudy's gorgeous back yard, covered in shady trees, vines, and flowers, and right next to a peaceful water feature. We enjoyed sitting on the guest house deck  in the morning with coffee and watching the birds and fish in the pond. Its such a peaceful environment! The house itself has such attention to detail with amazing vintage chic decorations and just the right amount of edgy Austin-y touches. I especially loved the vintage stove and the bathroom with the clawfoot tub (and great shower!). We loved getting to chat with Trudy about her home and her daughter's two local restaurants, Eastside Showroom and Hillside Farmacy, where we enjoyed a tasty breakfast Sunday morning.

I have stayed quite a few places in Austin and Trudy's guest home is definitely one of my favorites. Its a beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful place. I'd recommend it to anyone! We can't wait to go back! Thanks Trudy :)"
1130450,5343926,2013-06-25,4493149,Jennifer,"My husband and I stayed at the Bungalow for 10 days and everything was perfect. Trudy was here to welcome us when we arrived. It was very hot in Austin but the AC worked very well and there were additionnal fans if we needed. Everything was as said in the description and even more beautiful than the pictures. The neighboorhood was very safe, there was a supermarket nearby and some very cool places to have a drink and eat within walking distance. Trudy was here whenever we needed, but it was so perfect that we almost didnt need anything. Her daughter owns a very nice place called the Eastside Showroom, we went there for a drink it was lovely.
Nous avons passé un séjour absolument parfait dans la petite maison de Trudy, l'endroit est charmant, très bien décoré et tout équipé. Le quartier est très calme, supermarchés et petits restos très proches. Parfait pour un couple. Trudy est une personne très sympathique, et a tout fait pour que notre séjour se passe bien."
1130450,5548025,2013-07-05,7007640,Kristi,This was the BEST place to stay! So quiet and cozy. My boyfriend and I felt very safe and comfortable here. I LOVE the bathroom! Honestly I didn't want to leave. The space is very private and very affordable. Trudy is an excellent host. She is prompt and friendly. 
1130450,5648494,2013-07-09,4113468,Beverly,"This is a charming bungalow, very creatively decorated.  Everything is sparkling new and clean and different from any rental you've seen.

It is FULLY equipped, with everything you need to cook and serve a meal,  In the back there is a little barlike table with stools and a lovely pond.  My husband enjoyed lying in bed and watching the Wimbledon tennis finals.  

There are restaurants you can walk to, as well as a food store.  If you have a car, a huge supermarket is only five minutes away.

It is a great place to stay in Austin.
"
1130450,5774842,2013-07-15,7353546,Diane,An absolutely lovely place and experience. Be sure to go off the grid and explore the neighborhood.
1130450,5835112,2013-07-18,2895645,Naima,Trudy was helpful and sweet! The bungalow is gorgeous! Would highly recommend.

1130450,5878179,2013-07-20,2861782,Peggy,Trudy's bungalow was adorable. Her description was dead-on so guests should not be surprised by anything. I stayed one night and found the place comfortable and cozy. Trudy gave me a thorough tour of the home and was available for questions. I would definitely recommend the space for a single person or couple. 
1130450,5933128,2013-07-22,1517614,Claudio,"The bungalow was exactly as described and very comfortable. Trudy was a superb host, and her attention to detail as reflected in the bungalow, for both design and amenities, was terrific. I would eagerly stay there again."
1130450,6011784,2013-07-26,7406350,Ashley,"Great place to stay! We loved that it was dog friendly, great location with easy access to I-35. We would stay here again for sure!"
1130450,6094316,2013-07-29,5008565,Dmetrius,"I went to Austin for a quick trip and came across the bungalow at the last minute. Totally impressed and wholly satisfied.  The bed was comfortable, the space was amazing looking, TV was great, outside area cool, loved the pond, bathroom space was amazing.  Basically it was the type of place that had I not traveled with plans I would've been ok with just staying in and relaxing, which I may just do the next time."
1130450,6167242,2013-08-01,7786833,Jacqueline,"We stayed two nights in Trudy's bungalow and loved every minute of it. As someone familiar with Austin, I found her location perfect! It was close to everything we wanted to do. 

Although we didn't meet Trudy do to our different schedules, we felt safe, incredibly comfortable, and very happy to have chosen her bungalow for our stay in Austin. What is more, her bungalow reflects superb taste. She's thought of everything! We even went to the Hillside Farmacy (now a favorite) with friends, only to discover later that Trudy also recommended this fantastic restaurant to her guests. When we realized this, we were not surprised at all. Trudy seems to have an eye for classic designs and a great attention to detail. 

We would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
1130450,6204793,2013-08-03,6802556,Ethan,"Trudy's bungalow is so full of character and light. The backyard is gorgeous. She remembers all kinds of details and a provides a binder of great things to do and see in Austin. She was warm and inviting and extremely responsive. Don't stay downtown, treat yourself to the East Side and stay with Trudy!"
1130450,6422006,2013-08-12,6903287,Nancy,"Cherrywood Bungalow is absolutely awesome! Trudy has done a wonderful job of decorating and making it feel cozy and warm just like home. The backyard is so peaceful and relaxing, we really just wanted to sit back there our entire stay. It was really hard to leave when the time came but I know we will stay there the next time we are in Austin. "
1130450,6587840,2013-08-18,7158092,Kelli,"An absolutely lovely, private space in an-up-and coming area of Austin, close to restaurants, coffee shops, and galleries. We enjoyed the porch area for reading and relaxing, and cooked from local markets in the well-appointed kitchen. Trudy did a wonderful job of making sure we would have everything we needed, including coffee and tea and a couple of bottles of cold water for our arrival. I would absolutely stay here again."
1130450,6632888,2013-08-19,7861982,Ross,Cool little bungalow. Would happily stay there again.
1130450,6853078,2013-08-27,7648827,Carolyn,"We found the Cherrywood Bungalow to be everything we expected and more. It is a wonderful retreat in NE Austin. Our time there was too short & busy so we plan to return. 
We would recommend it to anyone who wants to relax in a beautiful  bungalow while visiting Austin, TX!"
1130450,7016609,2013-09-03,7357695,Heather,"It was the perfect location, close to the highway and only a little over one mile from campus for anyone going to the Longhorn games. The guest house itself was clean and lovely (love all of the decor!), with a fresh wood smell to it and plenty of AC during the hot summer months. We also loved being able to bring our dog and had access to the entire enclosed backyard. Its definitely on our list of places to stay whenever we make the trip down to Austin!"

1130450,7250148,2013-09-13,8036695,Carolyn,I loved this hideaway!  There were many special touches that added to the enjoyment of my own time and space as I was visiting family.  I found the sound of the waterfall/fish pond relaxing at the end of a busy day of playing with my grandchildren.
1130450,7366973,2013-09-17,7608531,Lindsey,"Wonderful Stay!  A great way to visit Austin.  This home is close to downtown with easy freeway access.  If you are thinking about listing your place on AirBnB, come stay at the Cherrywood Bungalow for a night to see how to do it right.  It is a charming little place with everything you could need, from a mini blender to extra towels.  It is clean, comfortable and I felt at home immediately.  Our hostess is a delightful lady with many suggestions on things to do and see.  I would come back again and again!  Thank you, Trudy!"
1130450,7483189,2013-09-22,7878869,Pamela,Trudy does everything to make you comfortable. We had a great stay and would love to go back.
1130450,7743224,2013-10-01,8037489,Thomas,Good  experience- as advertised. Trudy is good host.
1130450,7809673,2013-10-04,8079698,Claire,"This was a really great little space - Trudy provided everything we could possibly need, it was really clean and beautifully presented, and in a nice quiet neighbourhood. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend it to everyone."
1130450,7943973,2013-10-09,8264159,Vicki,"Awesome stay, great cottage with lots of character and very clean/well stocked with everything you need to be comfortable.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat, very close to downtown."
1130450,7986128,2013-10-11,8312027,Marci,"Trudy's cottage is amazing. It has all the amenities anyone would want in their own home, making it truly a home away from home. The artistic detail, the privacy of the back yard, and the comfort of the set up made my get away for my husband's birthday very, very special. Thanks Trudy! "
1130450,8068156,2013-10-14,6048896,Jane,Came to Austin for a last minute weekend escape from Houston. Trudy's place is beautiful and we had a good time in some of the bars along Manor Rd. Would recommend this place to someone wanting to stay in this area of Austin
1130450,8090352,2013-10-15,6734700,Sara,"I will be back to stay at Trudy's for sure. Such a quaint and comfortable little bungalow. My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.  Take her up on her recommendation, and visit the East Side Showroom, fantastic place!"
1130450,8282512,2013-10-23,7967023,Harriet E,"...I wish I could live here.  Seriously though, this place is amazing!  The amount of effort and all of the special touches that Trudy  meticulously put into the bungalow are noticeable in every detail. I can not say enough about our stay here!  If we ever visit Austin again, Trudy's bungalow will be our first choice!  I recommend it to anyone visiting the area.  Thanks again, Trudy!"
1130450,8337251,2013-10-26,9430725,Dawn,The place was an awesome retreat!  I loved the atmosphere! It is central to everything I wanted to do!
1130450,8440345,2013-10-30,2372604,Zeph,Great spot for a stay in Austin.  Peaceful and relaxing. 
1130450,8456489,2013-10-31,9684061,Drew,A really great place. Perfect ambiance. 
1130450,8475803,2013-11-01,1411170,Norma,"This guest house was perfect for our stay in Austin.. close to downtown and highway access.  Even tho it was located in the backyard of Trudy's house, it felt like we were a million miles away in a secluded oasis.  The trickling pond was soothing.  

We were only there for a short trip and really only slept in the guest house so we were disappointed we didnt have more time to fully enjoy this wonderful space.   It is spacious inside with an amazing bathroom and all amenities that you would need.  Clean, well decorated, spacious, comfortable.. perfect for a stay in Austin!  

There were flash floods on the night that we were there so the ramp leading up to the cottage was slick - be cautious walking up and down it.  

Didn't have a chance to meet Trudy but don't be surprised if you see her adorable pup in the backyard.  That was a really cute and pleasant sight to see :)"
1130450,8521313,2013-11-04,6761421,Nancy,"This place is amazing! Trudy thought of every detail.  It is charming, unique and we will use it as our go to place while visiting our daughter at UT.  Thanks Trudy!"

1130450,8713383,2013-11-13,8247727,Melissa,"Gorgeous spot! My husband and I were in town for a Wedding and we were so lucky to have found Trudy's bungalow. The scenery is beautiful & the bungalow is amazing. The design & decor is awesome. I would love to have that bathroom in my home! We had privacy which was the best part. Trudy was available if we needed her, but we were given space to enjoy our time away from home. Beats out my past hotel experiences by far!!! We never ran out of towels, coffee or toilet paper. The best part is Trudy has a binder full of local resources right there for you to use. Thank you so much Trudy for making us feel at home!!! We will definitely be back!!!"
1130450,8755268,2013-11-16,2558392,Jacqueline,"The bungalow is adorable, she's done such a great job making it feel comfortable. It is really well decorated, homey, comfortable, clean. I was able to walk to the bus stop in about 30 seconds, which was perfect for me. I would definitely stay here again. "
1130450,8854409,2013-11-22,7151306,Andres,"Our stay could not be better ... The Bungalow is very welcoming and the privacy is excellent.
Trudy thank you very much for making our vacation the best.

Nuestra estadia no pudo ser mejor... el Bungalow es muy acogedor y  la privacidad en el es excelente.
Muchas gracias Trudy por hacer de nuestras vacaciones las mejores. 

"
1130450,8905586,2013-11-25,6652281,Debbi,"What you see is what you get with this bungalow.  It's vey nice, charming and cozy.  Everything you need is at your fingertips.  Trudy has done a wonderful job addressing the comforts of her guests.

We would absolutely recommend the bungalow to all who visit Austin, Tx."
1130450,9079771,2013-12-05,9337135,Suzanne,It was wonderful to be able to enjoy our children and grandchildren and then return to our comfy cottage for quiet respite.  It was cleverly designed and comfy.  
1130450,9128660,2013-12-09,1690846,Ryan,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay while we are in Austin. The bungalow was lovely and in a great neighborhood. Even though it was below freezing outside while we were there, it remained very warm and cozy inside. Soaking in the claw foot tub was particularly nice after being outside in the freezing weather. Eating in one night, we found the kitchen to be extremely well-equipped as well. 

Even though it's smack dab in the middle of the city, with water trickling into a small koi pond and birds and squirrels feeding in the yard, you have the sense of being in a little country cottage. The entire place is as quaint as it looks in the pictures, and we couldn't imagine staying anywhere else in (website hidden) We also experienced a travel delay (Delta was cancelling flights back home on account of coming snow storm), and although the cottage was booked immediately after our stay, Trudy helped us find another place to stay nearby for the one night. Thanks, Trudy!"
1130450,9214002,2013-12-14,9907553,Susan,"Awesome location and tub! Friendly hostess. 
Fun kitchen. It was really chilly weather, but we
just added another blanket and turned up those 
two little heaters!"
1130450,9253173,2013-12-16,2054236,Christina,The pictures she has taken of this bungalow do it no justice!  We enjoyed our weekend tucked away in a neighborhood close to EVERYTHING.  Trudy is very accommodating and sweet.  Plan on going back next year.
1130450,9346082,2013-12-23,1466043,Robert,"A great place, great host, highly recommend."
1130450,9367486,2013-12-24,9164731,Ayn,My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Trudy's bungalow. It was very clean and thoughtfully designed. I had a nice soak in the claw foot tub and our dog enjoyed exploring the yard. Wish we could have stayed longer! 
1130450,9423162,2013-12-28,9646030,Linda,"This bungalow is awesome -- I really can't say enough about how cute it is, how comfy, and how Trudy left just about every little item that a guest may have otherwise forgotten or might need. I wouldn't change a thing! The claw foot bath, the kitchen, the very comfortable bed -- even the goldfish pond is wonderful! I only wish we could have stayed longer and would love to stay again!"
1130450,9470113,2013-12-30,140007,Maggie,"I rented this place for my parents over the holidays and they absolutely loved it. A beautiful secluded spot, lots of privacy, lovely kitchen/bathroom with all kinds of extra amenities (coffee, frozen mugs, etc.). Very charming, good neighborhood, extremely clean and a very responsive host. Would definitely return."
1130450,9633962,2014-01-04,8813843,Shawn,The Cherrywood Bungalow will not disappoint. The bungalow is a picturesque and very clean space. Trudy stocks the bungalow with all the basic toiletries and amenities- she really thought of everything. Trudy's bungalow/Austin- tips binder was very helpful in finding some great East Austin eateries.  
1130450,9911751,2014-01-19,10032507,Birgit,"Trudy is a wonderful host, she always helped us out with any questions we had. The Bungalow is beautiful, every detail in the interior design is well-planned and functional, yet cozy and carefully put together. It's quiet and has everything one might need. Moreover, there are several local buses stopping close by in case you don't have a car. I can only recommend a stay with her."
1130450,9976787,2014-01-22,28029,Lauren,"Had a great time at Trudy's bungalow - an adorable, cozy space in a great part of Austin. Loved the clawfoot tub and falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the backyard fountain! "
1130450,10157765,2014-02-03,11072283,Tony,"My girlfriend and I stayed at the Cherrywood Bungalow for our first trip to Austin, and the experience could not have been more sensational.  Trudy made sure every inch of the place was suited for a comfortable and enjoyable stay with everything we could possibly need, and we were just down the street from great food, grocery stores, and a coffee shop that puts Starbucks to shame.  Additionally, the area felt quite safe, even as we walked back from the bus stop after a night downtown, and there is plenty of privacy in the porch/pond area.  Overall, I felt we could not have had a better trip to Austin, and we would happily stay at the bungalow again for our next visit!"
1130450,10273607,2014-02-10,3869926,Andrea,"LOVED TRUDY'S BUNGALOW! My husband, 6 mo. old and I recently stayed here for a friend's wedding and we wanted something more private than a hotel room since my son is still so young I didn't want to disturb people if he cried. The bungalow was so clean and well decorated! The claw footed tub called my name immediately and within 30 minutes I was relaxing in it! The bed was comfortable and Trudy really thought of everything from the wifi and DVR TV, to the lighting and appropriate outlet placement. The kitchen is adorable and she had free coffee with creamer in the fridge! I will DEFINITELY be staying here again when I return to Austin. "
1130450,10461832,2014-02-20,6532769,Mary,The cottage in the back was tastefully designed and had all the amenities necessary for our stay.  For the most part it was very quiet; the train that ran behind the property was hardly noticeable.  We loved the Cherrywood Cafe a block's walk away.  I would definitely stay there again.
1130450,11146700,2014-03-23,2579973,Katee,"      Great place to stay in the city . The sound of the little waterfall of the fish pond really makes it nice. Trudy makes a great use of space and we were very comfortable. My daughter and I used this as home base to visit Austin for our first time. We did have a car and this location made it very quick and easy to see the sights. Traffic is minimal except during rush hour and even very manageable. There are many bus stops nearby as well. 
       An oasis to retreat to after a day of traveling was great. It is very clean and the little heater worked great on cooler mornings to take the chill off. I take one star off only for the sound of the freight train in the middle of the night ( It goes quick but if you have trouble falling back asleep I would be cautious) This bungalow is just that - great space to spend some time in !!!"
1130450,11313755,2014-03-29,13371042,Mary,"Just perfect! We loved staying at the bungalow -- charming, impeccably clean and surprisingly spacious with lots of light. We also enjoyed the private garden space with  the goldfish pond."
1130450,11462132,2014-04-03,13741875,Illiana,"This bungalow was everything the pictures said and more. I loved this space my only regret was that I didn't get to stay longer. Once I checked in I didn't leave till check out. She has done a wonderful job creating a paradise in the middle of the suburbs and has anticipated every need I would have had during my stay, I could not have asked for more. She was very welcoming and left me to my privacy which I highly appreciated. I can't wait to come back! "
1130450,11480399,2014-04-04,13775242,Liz,"A friend and I made a last minute trip to Austin, and Trudy's Cherrywood Bungalow was a perfect retreat for the night. The bungalow was clean and cozy, and Trudy was friendly and accommodating. We jogged around the neighbor and grabbed coffee and smoothies at a coffee shop within walking distance from Trudy's home. We were only a short drive from everything we wanted to do in Austin, so I highly recommend the location. We certainly hope to stay here again!"
1130450,11491011,2014-04-05,3946031,Gemma,"Definitely recommend!!! The place was clean and had more amenities than we had expected, very private and decorated to perfection !! Will definitely be staying here again!!!
Only regret is that we wished we had stayed there longer :)"
1130450,11598124,2014-04-08,6399801,Christopher,"This place is amazing.  Previous reviews were spot on that pictures do not do it justice. We were in Austin for a wedding and wanted to stay someplace different.  This place was way better than we expected.  Although we never had the pleasure of meeting Trudy in person, she was a perfect host. Our flight was delayed and we didn't get in until late.  She was more than accommodating to open the place up for us and have it ready at such a late hour.  Trudy's attention to detail and sophisticated class was apparent in every corner of this place.  From the snacks to the toiletries, she thought of it all.  The kitchen and bathroom were our definite favorites, Trudy definitely knows interior decorating.  We really felt like it was our private little bungalow with the little Koi pond outside, porch for morning coffee, and the claw-foot tub that we loved!  We thought the place was so amazing that we took pictures and showed all of the guests at the wedding.  Everyone was jealous of our little spot.  One recommendation is to have a car, a bike, or patience with public transportation. It was a little outside of downtown but the walk was totally do-able and great.  Thank you so very much for making our first trip to Austin that much better!  We have already recommended this place to many friends and we will definitely stay there again if we return to Austin!  "
1130450,11688294,2014-04-12,12963374,Steven,"We had a great time at the bungalow. Everything was really nice and clean. The bungalow is behind a house and was quiet and restful. 
First impressions were not very good, the house in front of the bungalow was not very well kept. But as soon as we opened the gate and saw the bungalow or fears were relieved. "
1130450,11716581,2014-04-13,7648827,Carolyn,"Great place to call home away from home. This was the same visit as above. 
Thanks Trudy!
Carolyn & Mack"
1130450,11787503,2014-04-15,7648827,Carolyn,"Just as before, Trudy was a wonderful host to me & our family. The bungalow is so perfect for relaxing, reading, sitting out by the fish pond under the trees or hanging out on the porch with others. The bungalow is fully equipped with everything you need. 
With having 2 of our children living in Austin, it gives us a place of our own while we are there visiting them. This last visit was for the MS 150!
We hope to return often. It feels much like home to us when we are there. 
Carolyn & Mack"
1130450,12155434,2014-04-24,13274187,James,Excellent little bungalow in the host's backyard. Lots of privacy. The fishpond's fountain (and it's frogs) block out any neighborhood noise. Very clean and easy to use. Parking with 50 feet in the house's main driveway. Couple of miles from downtown Austin in a pleasant neighborhood. Would definitely return.
1130450,12279748,2014-04-28,4227271,Sara,"We loved staying in this cozy cottage. It's lovely, comfortable, and the fountains outside are amazing to fall asleep to. Bonus: you're right around the corner from great coffee and food."
1130450,12379692,2014-04-30,6734700,Sara,"Was GREAT to be back, my only complaint is that I had to leave! "
1130450,12617367,2014-05-06,4578768,Amber,"My fiancé and I stayed here for an extended weekend.  Trudy's bungalow is without a doubt one of the coolest and nicest places we've stayed--with airbnb or otherwise.  We'd absolutely stay here again.  Great neighborhood.  Cool nearby coffee shop. Easy to get anywhere worth seeing in Austin, including the awesome bars, restaurants, and trailers in the east 6th area."
1130450,13022675,2014-05-17,6949655,Julia,"The Bungalow was such a peaceful escape from a busy and quick business trip! The space was comfortable and so relaxing in such a quaint and exciting neighborhood. Trudy did such a wonderful job in making this space relaxing, it was the perfect escape for me during my work trip. I look forward to staying with Trudy for longer than a night, and can't wait to try some of the great jeighborhood suggestions she laid out in her 'Welcome Book'. Lovely spot!"
1130450,13186404,2014-05-21,1399846,Naomi,"The bungalow was just perfect -- stylish, comfortable, filled with every amenity you could imagine or need. We loved our stay there and hope to come back!"
1130450,13399360,2014-05-27,6903287,Nancy,"This was our second stay at Trudy's bungalow. Just like the first time, it was great! She is an excellent host and the bungalow is very comfortable for two people. Thanks again, Trudy!
Jake and Nancy Care"
1130450,13876748,2014-06-07,13731220,Amy,Absolutely beautiful! The pictures dont even do it justice to what you'll find when you step foot into this amazing quaint bungalow.  I would highly recommend to anyone going to the Austin area and would definitely stay there on any return trips myself.
1130450,15009156,2014-06-30,3163291,Jenna,"This was such a precious and perfect place to stay! Trudy was such a wonderful hostess! She was quick to respond to questions and was so very nice in making sure that her guests are accommodated for! Her bungalow is a dream! It is one of the most cozy, adorable, clean and happy places to stay! Normally my husband and I like to go try new places each time we travel. However, anytime we travel to Austin we will try to stay here again, because places can't get more adorable than this bungalow! The bungalow is conveniently located near some great spots of downtown Austin. It's a wonderful place to stay, all around!"
1130450,15198709,2014-07-04,11974223,Shannon,"Seriously, stay here! It's like an amazing little paradise sanctuary right in the heart of the city. So clean, so beautiful and comfortable, so serene.  From the coy pond to the amazing claw foot tub, everything was spot on for our little romantic birthday getaway.  And Trudy was on top of everything!"
1130450,16611208,2014-07-30,3155626,Nick,This shabby-chic cottage was cozy and all that one could hope for in a location within walking distance to an organic market and local eateries. The outdoor space is private with a fountain and the off-street parking was a plus. Everything was clean and the space was well-organized. Great place to stay near downtown Austin.
1130450,16804731,2014-08-02,8722845,Momin,Great stay at Trudys.  Everything was neat and clean and was in a great location.  I would definitely recommend staying here.
1130450,17649064,2014-08-15,18051196,Ashley,"We absolutely LOVED our stay at Trudy's. The bungalow is your own little oasis in the heart of the city. The neighborhood is great and within walking distance of several locally owned eateries that were all amazing and also near several beautiful parks. Trudy provides a binder full of recommendations that was very helpful. Also, it was so easy to skip on down to downtown without any trouble. It was quiet and quaint and private. We couldn't have asked for more. Beautifully decorated and includes everything you might need. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone travelling to Austin. Can't say enough."
1130450,17809544,2014-08-17,6217451,Claudio,Cherrywood Bungalow was absolutely perfect ! Trudy was a great host. I would definitely stay here time and time again when visiting Austin. Thank you Trudy! 
1130450,19556228,2014-09-14,9422956,Rick,"The Cherrywood Bungalow was PERFECT!! The little cottage is beautifully designed and comfortable. The patio deck with bar and stools, the little backyard with covered swing, the goldfish pond, it was all just so wonderful! Trudy was an excellent host, as good as they get on AirBnB. Will certainly stay at the Cherrywood Bungalow again next time I'm in Austin. "
1130450,20018428,2014-09-22,19498229,Alison,"Cherrywood bungalow was exactly what we were looking for.  Your own little private space close to the city, with loads of character.  The bungalow was in pristine condition when we arrived, with a helpful binder of information for the area and a current local paper for things to do in the area for the days of our stay.  Trudy was always accommodating and very responsive with any questions/requests.  Close enough to downtown to get there in minutes, but far enough away that you truly felt like you were in your own little world with the koi pond and water fountain and private yard.  I would definitely recommend this bungalow to anyone thinking about staying in Austin.    "
1130450,21034548,2014-10-10,5435915,Austin,"Trudy's bungalow was fabulous.  The space is very comfortable, and she's thought of everything.  The location is central and close to the main streets, but far enough away to feel like a break from the action (and the traffic).  We will definitely stay again the next time we are in Austin! "
1130450,21127431,2014-10-12,8409231,Karen,The Cherrywood Bungalow was homey yet elegant with a unique rustic vibe that we loved. The location was great and a short drive to all of the best Austin has to offer. I hope I am able to come back to Austin and stay here again soon!
1130450,21522006,2014-10-19,6761421,Nancy,This was our second stay at Cherrywood Bungalo and it did not disappoint!  As lovely as always and everything we needed.  Thanks  Trudy!
1130450,22986693,2014-11-19,22933599,David,"Trudy Spencer welcomed us warmly with an email on our arrival in Austin, and again when we met briefly the next day.  The place was just as lovely as the pictures promised.  The neighborhood is residential, but there are plenty of good stores & restaurants nearby."
1130450,23211691,2014-11-25,22656454,Mariam,"Trudy is an incredibly sweet and helpful host! The bungalow itself was cozy and comfortable, and we did not lack for privacy! It also has one of THE most beautiful bathrooms I've ever been in. Would recommend a million times over!"
1130450,23491255,2014-12-02,8165068,Maggie,"We had a great experience at Trudy's bungalow! The space is amazing, and we truly appreciated having a fenced in area since we were traveling with dogs. Can't wait to be back in town and stay here again!"
1130450,23642482,2014-12-07,5934195,Ginny,"The Cherrywood Bungalow was the perfect home away from home during my stay in Austin. I spent most of my time downtown at a conference but it was a fairly easy bike ride and very quick Uber ride down to the conference at the Hilton Garden Inn. Trudy's home is saturated with character and I looked forward to relaxing there and sleeping to the sound of the waterfall in the fish pond every evening. The space was extremely comfortable, clean and there was much privacy throughout the weekend. Trudy was very available and offered many suggestions of ways to enjoy my time in Austin. If you stay here you should absolutely stop by the East Side Showroom (Trudy's place!) where the drinks were absolutely delicious. Trudy was a gracious host and offered clean towels and even toiletries I wasn't able to pack for my flight. I would recommend this place to anyone...perfect for one person or a couple to enjoy a relaxing stay in Austin very close to coffee shops, restaurants and an easy ride downtown. "
1130450,25218527,2015-01-09,2186358,Camille,Absolutely loved this place!!  What a charming cottage. Wonderful energy. Loved that there was a private fenced in yard. Trudy was such a great hostess. I needed a place for my sister and her pup to stay while we were finishing up a renovation project at my house here in Austin. It was perfect and will book again next time I have family in town visiting. 
1130450,25515438,2015-01-18,25644409,Irene,"The bungalow was absolutely adorable. We will definitely be staying there again and will recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you, Trudy, for a very relaxing getaway."
1130450,26194493,2015-02-06,26849504,Paige,"This was an incredible experience! It was my first time using Airbnb and it will not be my last! This was a quick uber downtown ($6-$8) and a beautiful little house! It was like my pinterest board exploded in this unique little bungalow. 

Trudy left a very detailed book with any little quirks about the house (how to the shower, etc.) and was incredibly helpful. I will definitely be asking to stay with her the next time I'm in town!"
1130450,26257334,2015-02-08,2809940,Graeme & Misha,"We loved this place. The styling is exquisite. Why would anyone ever want to stay in a corporate hotel after experiencing Trudy's gorgeous cottage? We seriously could live there. The guide, instructions and information provided was first class. The neighborhood is awesome. Amazing local joints with great people and superb food, drink and stuff! We rented bikes from along the road - what a cool bike shop. Getting downtown was easy also.  

All in all Trudy and her place is the essence of Airbnb.  "
1130450,26920549,2015-02-22,21364281,Stephanie,"This was such a cute, private, wonderful retreat. It's the perfect size for a couple or three people but also great for one. It was clean and well-stocked. I loved the clear instructions left in a blue binder in the house. I would absolutely stay here again! Thanks, Trudy, for making such a welcoming space. "
1130450,27206360,2015-02-28,26076604,Laura,"Two adults and one child stayed two nights in this charming and cozy house.  It was even better than described.  Despite near-freezing temps, the two space heaters provided ample warmth.  Breakfast was prepared in the well-equipped kitchen, and the sitting area offered the perfect nook for relaxing and drinking a cup of coffee (generously provided by the host).  The 13-year-old slept comfortably on a cot placed next to the bed.  The trickle of the water from the koi pond created a quiet and peaceful oasis in this lovely neighborhood.  The location is prime--just a couple minutes drive to some delicious eats on Manor.  All parties enthusiastically agreed that there will definitely be a return visit to this lovely guesthouse on Cherrywood."
1130450,27406686,2015-03-03,27782844,Rachelle,"This place is as beautiful as all the other reviews have said. It was a bit smaller than what I pictured, and a little crowded with our two dogs and large dog crate, but totally worth it for the fenced in backyard, which was especially appreciated since it was in the 30s this weekend and we could just open the door to let the dogs out in the morning! Trudy has clearly put a lot of thought into everything, from the mints to the tea bags to the candles. We would love to stay here again in the future!"
1130450,27596464,2015-03-08,27619803,Angie,"The bungalow was gorgeous! The listing and pictures are accurate, but it is so much better in person. I really enjoyed using the claw foot tub. I loved the natural lighting from the windows, and all the trees and greenery surrounding the bunglaow. It made me feel like we weren't in the city anymore, a nice retreat.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others."
1130450,27809284,2015-03-12,28315465,Ari,"This bungalow was lovely and absolutely perfect for my visit to Austin. The neighborhood was quiet and calm, and as I was visiting the University, ideally located. Trudy made the place feel very home-like, in all of the best ways and I was never at a loss for where something was, how something worked, as she provides very thoughtful instructions and made sure everything I could possibly need was there. The bungalow and garden were a beautiful step into tranquility after busy days around Austin."
1130450,28120470,2015-03-18,3290239,David,"Had a very nice time in Trudy's cute backyard apartment. Loved the interior, and was an easy taxi ride to downtown. Will stay there again. "
1130450,28258891,2015-03-21,660844,Will,Definitely the most beautifully decorated air bnb I have ever been to. Gorgeous. 
1130450,29102948,2015-04-04,10534236,New,Trudy's place was perfect!  The backyard was extremely relaxing with the pond.  Plenty of places to walk to and a short uber away from the capital.  The inside of the house was cozy and inviting .
1130450,30083478,2015-04-17,5685142,Mariah,"Staying at the bungalow was amazing, the perfect relaxing getaway that we were looking for! Trudy was so helpful, and easy to contact, but gave us plenty of space and privacy as well. The space was somewhat small yet felt so spacious and efficient. We loved cooking breakfast and dinner in the amazing kitchen - and a bubble bath in the king-sized bathroom was exactly what I needed! I loved our time at this place and would definitely stay again if we come back to Austin."
1130450,31325155,2015-05-04,679072,Sara,"beautiful spot tucked away in a quiet corner of austin. walking distance to a few great restaurants and bars and a quick bike ride to the heart of east austin. trudy's recommendations were a great help for exploring the city - especially the one for a bike rental place near the bungalow. 

the bungalow itself is divine - beautifully decorated and full of great amenities. "
1130450,32273735,2015-05-16,21743994,Sarah,"Wow!!! Trudy and her daughter remodeled this place themselves and I swear it looks like something out of a designer magazine! She has all the modern conveniences available- iron, coffee, full kitchen, but with a country, isolated vibe. We even listened to bull frogs every night in the pond.

During our stay, we were completely uninterrupted. The place was seriously something out of a vacation magazine. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some quiet time in a well situation location within Austin. Thanks Trudy!!
"
1130450,32972990,2015-05-24,5309626,Rhonda And Leo,"Lovely bungalow, very clean and secluded.  Trudy was an excellent host!  We had everything we needed and she replied promptly to any question we had via email."
1130450,33962422,2015-06-02,33779095,Mallory,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Cherrywood bungalow! We celebrated our 1st anniversary there, and it was very romantic. We enjoyed the peaceful, private, pond area. The house was very neat and clean. We loved that the kitchen had everything we needed to cook breakfast in the morning! Trudy is very honest and accurate in everything she posts on airbnb. We did hear the train, but only one time. We highly recommend staying here!"
1130450,34303972,2015-06-07,9271488,Annabella,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Trudy's bungalow. It had everything we could
possibly need from coffee and creamer to frozen beer mugs which were perfect for when we were soaking up the sun on the patio. The claw foot tub was awesome, Trudy even provides bubble bath soap. It was a wonderful experience overall and I would highly
recommend."
1130450,34954834,2015-06-14,6122427,Jeanne,"This is a perfect, private, quiet, beautiful oasis in the loveliest section of Austin.  It is well tended and cared for and creatively arranged for maximum natural beauty and comfort.  The bungalow has everything you need and a fabulous kitchen with everything necessary to cook if you choose to do so.  "
1130450,35348524,2015-06-17,24404812,Steely,I stayed 3 nights in the bungalow and was very happy with it! The place looks just as it does in the pictures and is even more private and serene than I imagined. I loved the koi pond and the bathtub. Trudy provides anything you can possibly need and the bungalow is very clean and efficiently set up. This place feels like a little tucked away cottage that should be out in Fredericksburg and I found myself forgetting that I was in Central Austin. It is also very conveniently located with coffee shops and restaurants very close by. I'd definitely stay here again!
1130450,36226731,2015-06-26,35914244,Brittany,"The best airbnb experience we've had to date. Trudy's guest house is spacious and adorable. I very much enjoyed all the little details of  decoration and accommodation (Tea, coffee, bubble bath).  Relaxing in the beautiful bear claw bathtub after packing our apartment all day was exceptionally nice!   "
1130450,38007523,2015-07-12,4578768,Amber,"This was my husband and my second time staying at the bungalow, and we loved it just as much as we did the first time.  We'd happily stay here over and over again!"
1130450,39089987,2015-07-20,35592729,Klaus,"The Cherrywood Bungalow is a great place to stay - it does actually deserve six out of five stars.  The bungalow itself is a decent size single room studio, plus a large bathroom. It's all very tastefully arranged and usable. It comes fully equipped, no item was missing - Trudy is clearly thinking ahead and put it all in. The bungalow is very private in the backyard, with it's own fence and seating opportunity. 
We have been there in the heat of the summer - the AC was therefore always on and is quite audible, but in exchange the heat stays away. "
1130450,40834130,2015-08-02,5648439,Brianne,"Absolutely loved this adorable bungalow. Even if it were not located in my favorite neighborhood, I would absolutely stay here again. 
Didn't actually spend much time inside, but it was comfortable, clean, even cuter than the pictures, and the perfect size for two people. 
Even though the bungalow was basically in Trudy's backyard, it felt very secluded."
1130450,42957468,2015-08-16,23875280,Michael,"Trudy's place was fantastic. The day before our trip, Trudy messaged us with all the details we needed to get set up in the lovely bungalow. The place has high fencing and trees all around that really felt like you were in your own private world. The wifi and television accommodations were top-notch and we really appreciated the extra toiletries available in the bathroom. Trudy was always within reach when needed, but courteous enough to allow us our space. To top it all off, there was no clean up required on our part. We weren't tasked with taking out the garbage, washing dishes, or anything! In closing, we loved our stay and any future Austin Airbnb experiences will always be in the shadow of Trudy's very excellent bungalow."
1130450,44065765,2015-08-23,27274454,Arielle,This place was great! Perfect and secluded. The bungalow was behind the main house in a nice neighborhood really close to all the hot spots in Austin. The place is wonderfully decorated and the small pond was beautiful. The best part was the tub!
1130450,46632873,2015-09-12,4351484,Joanna,"Private and beautiful little place in East Austin. Tucked away behind the front house, it was quiet and relaxing. We had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The bed was very comfortable and after staying in another place where we woke up to a ton of noise, it was a dream waking up here to silence! We had no issues whatsoever and came in and out at our leisure. We met Trudy as we were leaving and she was very sweet. It's a short drive to downtown, but we had no problems calling an uber to the area & there were also some nice restaurants nearby. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and if I'm ever in Austin again, I would without a doubt stay here again! "
1130450,47572714,2015-09-20,44101988,Lota,"I really enjoyed staying at the Cherrywood Bungalow!  I was there to visit my UT daughter for a few days, and we both wanted to be away from the hoopla of the football weekend.  We felt like we were away from everything, but a quick Uber ride and we were at a nice restaurant.  The bungalow was perfectly clean and Trudy gave us perfect instructions.  She did not bother us at all but made sure we were able to reach her if we needed to.  Parking was great and the atmosphere was very serene."
1130450,47739962,2015-09-21,41401171,Suzanne,"We had the pleasure of staying in the bungalow for two nights while in Austin recently. The bungalow is situated in the back of Trudy's house but feels very private with it's own fencing and little garden with fish pond and swing! The bungalow itself is lovely and cosy with the kitchen area and bathroom been our favourite parts. Trudy left some very helpful recommendations for restaurants, transport, bars and points of interest in the local area too. We didn't get a chance to meet Trudy but she communicated with us through email and left everything perfect for our arrival. Would highly recommend this bungalow. "
1130450,49270073,2015-10-02,8614505,Stacie,All of the other reviews sum this place up quite well. It's a beautiful gem of an Airbnb. Well appointed and quite comfortable. Only 1.5 miles to UT. Very close to some good restaurants. Five stars all around!
1130450,49588626,2015-10-05,33435570,Janice,"We really enjoyed our stay.  The description and pictures are spot on.  A very tranquil and peaceful retreat-like bungalow constructed of cool reclaim materials and decorated with interesting and eclectic items from around Texas....Very Austin!
The bungalow retreat is basically a separated backyard to her main home set in a normal neighborhood with quick access to everything.  We had zero issues with any noise from neighbors or the 2 car metro style trains (sounded like trolleys not freight trains).  Parking was right in her driveway, perfect!
Trudy was very good with the reservation and communications and made us feel very welcome.  She also made herself available but gave us our privacy.  Trudy really knows how to welcome guests with personal touches like coffee/tea/popcorn, staged linens, citronella candles, food for the goldfish, etc...She offers a professional grade product and service.  Next time we visit our son at UT this is our place to stay!"
1130450,50431494,2015-10-12,35151154,Stuart,"What a fantastic experience. Trudy's space is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. It's private, tranquil, has many amenities, and feels like home. I can't wait to visit Austin again and stay in Trudy's Airbnb.  "
1130450,51746659,2015-10-24,32536167,Ed,"We just had a delightful experience here. The location is great, and the bungalow itself is charming and comfortable without being overly cute. We were fortunate to meet Trudy when we arrived; fortunately, we never needed her help during the weekend. Everything was well arranged and the book of instructions was complete without being overwhelming.

If you're going to Austin, this should be on your shortlist."
4598447,26740294,2015-02-18,5126073,Benjamin,Anna's condo was a wonderful treat! Anna was a really great host and everything went really smoothly. She has a truly wonderful home in a quiet gated community. I'd recommend her place to anyone looking to stay in Austin. Downtown and South Congress were both only a 15 min drive away.  
4598447,28466152,2015-03-24,3340934,An,"Anna was very nice. I communicated with her through texting. Her place looks exactly like what is seen in the pics. She has a wonderful sense of decorative style. She even left me a personal note when I arrived. 
Pretty much everything is available for you there. Also, her place is about 15 min away from downtown. "
4598447,37422441,2015-07-06,811515,Javon,We had a nice stay at Anna's apartment. It's not too far from downtown and is exactly how it looks in the photos. The check in and check out process was very easy.
4598447,40846569,2015-08-02,37445810,Evan,This apartment was the perfect size for my friend and me. It was comfortable and we had no problem getting in or out. It is any easy 10-15 minute drive to downtown. Anna was helpful and let us know how to use the washer to clean our own towels (dirty from Barton Springs). Great value and would stay there again. 
4598447,43188820,2015-08-17,23166195,Skye,"This home was PERFECT for my boyfriend and I. It very cozy and comfortable as well as very clean and welcoming! There were several places to eat near by, and the distance to downtown was short! Anna was great at communicating even though we booked our stay last minute! We will be back soon, no doubt! "
4598447,44144815,2015-08-24,37049339,Daniella,"She was very accurate in her description. The apartment was clean and cozy. I didn't receive the initial email with all of the instructions before arriving, but she was quick to send it again when I texted her for information. "
4598447,46214241,2015-09-08,30583677,Marissa,"Great place and Anna had everything ready for us when we got there! Accurate description and pictures. Thanks for sharing your place with us, Anna!"
4598447,48818757,2015-09-28,20337490,Tim,"Anna has a wonderful place, in an awesome neighborhood. The place is exactly as advertised. I would gladly stay there again if I can. Communication was great, and everything one could possibly need is present."
4598447,49390483,2015-10-03,6559396,Derek,Fantastic!!! A very comfy place that was hard to leave! Anna I'll book with you again
4598447,50601613,2015-10-12,20745895,Erik,Ana had a cozy apartment. Clean and conveniently located. Great host
4598447,52077878,2015-10-26,29484502,Eli,"My stay at Anna's was great. It rained the entire time we were there so we basically stayed inside every day. With that said, her apartment is very cozy. She was very helpful and easy to contact. I would definitely come back for another stay at Anna's."
6028454,33211371,2015-05-25,29111414,Janicka,"Our trip was phenomenal because of Dave. My boyfriend and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Austin. We were worried about a place to stay and were so appreciative when Dave accepted us because we had nevee used air bnb before. His house was full but he decided to help us out and let us stay in the airstream. This was such a cool experience.  The airstream was clean, very well maintained and quite funky! The location is perfect, right in the middle of everything. Dave was an amazing host and even brought us breakfast one morning. He was very attentive and helpful. Everything about this experience was amazing. If you are deciding whether or not to stay here, just say yes."
6028454,42451338,2015-08-13,39750362,Ari,"Really nice dude, convient location."
6028454,44857607,2015-08-29,7192748,Aikaterini,"Staying at Dave's is an experience itself. Dave is a warm host and an interesting person. He rents his bedroom and sleeps in a smaller one in his apartment. My friend and I shared the common areas with him. From the first day he made sure we do not lack anything. Dave gave us tips and suggested top spots and things to do in Austin. He even went further his role as a host and took me and my friends out one night to show us Austin by night. The cherry on the cake was listening him performing his songs after having dinner at his place the night we arrived. He is a talented artist. The house is about 15' by car to downtown and at close proximity to several other neighbourhoods. If you are looking for a genuine Texan experience, staying at Dave's will live up to your expectations."
6028454,46237872,2015-09-08,42296322,Aléna,"Great location, the apartment is really nice and clean! Dave is an amazing host. We had a private concert at home with this amazing singer :) If you want to fully experience Austin it is the best place to stay !!"
6028454,49670510,2015-10-05,34596958,Edilberto,Dave was an incredible host! The house and room were exactly as described. Only got to see him once during my three day stay because I was out most of the day for ACL. Perfect location for anyone who is good with public transport like me. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay during their time in beautiful Austin! 
6028454,50300508,2015-10-11,20696310,Dilara Su,"Dave greeted us with his Southern hospitality right of the bat and we could not have felt more welcome. His place is exactly as described on the AirBnB listing and it met and exceeded all of our needs. We used Uber, so can't say anything about public transportation, but it was never more than 8-15 minutes to go to anywhere we wanted (Zilker Park, SoCo, Downtown, West End, Cherrywood, etc.). I will be contacting Dave next time we visit Austin. "
6028454,50777021,2015-10-14,2119394,Jeanne,Dave was very warm and welcoming and quite an interesting person to talk to. We really enjoyed our stay in his comfortable home. It was a great location and I highly recommend Dave as a host!
6028454,51941831,2015-10-25,20942247,Peter,Had a really good time here. Dave is a great host and very accommodating. Location was perfect and the house is very comfortable. Looking forward to staying here again next time I visit Austin. 
6028454,52918888,2015-11-02,44528303,Susan,"Dave was amazing. He made my stay in Austin so much fun. It was a monsoon the day I needed to get into downtown for my convention, and Dave personally drove me there through the pouring rain. Everyone needs to book your Austin stay through this man. Period."
6028454,53234860,2015-11-06,32990754,Tiffany,"Dave was incredibly helpful, and made me feel right at home. He offered me access to everything in his house, as if we were long-time friends or relatives. The energy and environment Dave has created is warm and inviting, and I will definitely be staying w/ him the next time I'm in town. It was very difficult to leave, and I would have stayed longer if I could have."
883877,3833272,2013-03-19,4463535,Evan,Rick was a very nice guy and had a lot of great stories to tell.  I left something behind in Austin and he was happy to ship it out to me.  He was accommodating in every way and I would certainly stay there again upon my return to Austin.
883877,5875416,2013-07-20,7308845,Garrett,Excellent place to stay. Close to everything. Great host showed me around town and was accomadating. The home is very nice and quiet. 
883877,28361420,2015-03-22,15640633,Marcelo,"I had a wonderful time during my stay at Rick's home. The rooms were spacious, clean and precisely what I needed during my SXSW stay. Rick is a gracious, accommodating and generous host. "
4928722,34493088,2015-06-08,34446096,Franklin,"Erin's house was great and her description and pictures were very accurate.  Her house was very inviting and the group enjoyed their stay.  Erin made it easy for us to gain access even though our arrival time didn't work out to see her in person.  She was very proactive to understand our trip/needs, and responded to our questions very timely!!"
4928722,35159150,2015-06-15,4143252,Rudy,"Erin was great.  She was quick to respond to anything we needed.  The house is very clean and well organized, and in a very nice and quiet neighborhood.  We felt at home as soon as we walked in.  I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the Brentwood area."
4928722,36619790,2015-06-29,36201331,Daniel,"Erin was very prompt in her responses when I had questions. The directions were super easy to follow and she had labels/instructions all around the house to make it easy. All kitchenware and basic needs were available such as towels, cups, dishes, etc. She has extra sleeping bags and pads if you have guests. The long driveway provides plenty of space for cars. The backyard is a huge plus with a fire pit and plenty of patio seating. The house is located right off the highway with easy access to 35. "
7308730,48805017,2015-09-28,15285504,Vanessa,"Amazing little cottage.  Great location!  Dawn was so helpful and pleasant.  She also provides a lot of little toiletries, which I appreciated because I forgot a toothbrush (thanks Dawn!). "
7308730,49530812,2015-10-04,9838047,Charlie,"Great roomy guest house that is centrally located and in an easy accessible neighborhood.  Only thing missing is a TV, but it went unnoticed/ not there to watch the tube!  Dawn had the place stocked with fresh linens, snacks and beverages.  She even brought over some coffee to help kick off the morning brew, but there's also a great wood fired coffee spot just half a block away called SummerMoon (& they have breakfast tacos too!  Very private and place to stay for good rest."
7308730,49726966,2015-10-05,23907820,Aryn,Great little hidden gem close to South Congress and Zilker Park. Very quiet neighborhood and host was extremely accommodating. Will definitely recommend to friends! Thanks Dawn!
7308730,50103754,2015-10-09,5017918,Don,"dawn's cottage was great!  clean, comfortable bed, great location... quiet, yet easily walkable to great coffee (summermoon!) and 10 - 15 minutes away from downtown austin... got to meet her the first day and she was very nice... i'd stay again anytime i'm in austin for a few days!"
7308730,50344107,2015-10-11,35811166,Lisa,"The description of the Perfect Little Cottage was spot on and Dawn was a wonderful host.  This is a quiet, comfortable place to stay in a very convenient location.  It has a back area that's great for sitting outside to read, drink coffee, or chat with friends.  The cottage was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed.  It's walking distance from great coffee and some really good places to eat.  It's an easy drive or slightly longer walk to South Congress area.  If I'm ever back in Austin, this is where I'm staying! "
7308730,51845090,2015-10-24,46172902,Ana,Great last minute booking. Dawn had everything ready for us to arrive very fast. The room was clean and comfortable. She was very accommodating to our needs and we really appreciated it. We would have stayed longer than 4 nights if she would have had more openings but she was fully booked! I can see why. Highly recommend staying here. Super convenient location too!
7308730,52238068,2015-10-27,44697680,Emily,"I'm so glad I was able to stay at Dawn's cottage for my weekend. I appreciated the amenities she provided, as there's always something I forget when I travel! Excellent location. The cottage was exactly as described and the bed was quite comfy. I would certainly stay here again."
2761201,33798845,2015-06-01,4399506,Keely,"Mo is the best! And her dogs are the cutest!!! She could not embody the kindness and hospitality that Texas, specifically Austin , is known for.  My room was super clean and comfortable and she was more than willing to help me with whatever I needed. I really enjoyed floating in the pool and hanging in her backyard. I can't recommend Mo or her space more! She helped make my Austin trip perfect. "
3504013,16524171,2014-07-28,18610772,William,"Our overall experience with this location was fantastic! The hosts were very prompt in all communications and were waiting to let us in and show us around as soon as we arrived. 
The house is perfect inside and out. The entire back yard is covered with the shade of beautiful oak trees that allow for enjoyable rocking chair time at any point in the day. The porch came fully equipped with an outside eating table and grill for an outside dinner. To top of the backyard, there is a wonderful outdoor shower, offering perfect privacy paired with this gorgeous backyard. 
Inside, the house is bright, cool, and comfortable. The kitchen came equipped with dishes, coffee pot, blender, and other basic cooking utensils and complementary coffee, tea, and sweeteners.  With the TV in the living room there was a basket full of movies to satisfy your late night show cravings. My favorites inside this house were definitely the bed and the shower! The beds were extremely comfortable, firm but with a great memory foam topper, and the shower has amazing water pressure, perfect for a refreshing morning! 
Aside from how great this spot is inside and out, you could not ask for a better location in Austin! It was less than a five minute drive to Barton Springs and would be a fun walk if you were so inclined. Traveling downtown for the evening our one way cab fair was less than $10! We were also able to walk to a nice convenience store close by to stock up on snacks and basic foods for the weekend. The accessibility to everything Austin from this house is perfect!
If you are traveling to Austin, this is where you want to stay!"
3504013,17884528,2014-08-18,19137253,Ricardo,"Our host was amazing, extremely friendly, communicated instantly, and very welcoming. Went out of her way and had a things for us. She helped with plenty of recommendations for things to do nearby and great places to eat! The neighborhood is very peaceful and full of trees, great to walk around. About a mile walk from Barton Springs, perfectly situated, close to downtown, restaurants, grocery stores, and within walking distance to the convenience store. 

The house is very spacious, the rooms are excellent with a large living room and kitchen. The kitchen has all the essentials. The best part was the backyard deck with shaded trees and hanging lights to relax at night. The outdoor shower is excellent and refreshing after a long hike through some trails. The house is perfect and I'll definitely look into staying here when in Austin again. The house was cozy, had everything we needed and more. Even extra towels for Barton Springs. 

Everything was carefully considered to really make you feel at home, even though you're a guest. "
3504013,18489880,2014-08-27,7467641,Jessica,What a beautiful property! The neighborhood is quiet yet active and and a perfect location to getting just about anywhere in Austin!  The host lives next door and is visible in and around her yard but doesn't interfere unless asked but she is full of knowledge and is easily accessible if you need her. There is plenty of space inside and a large outdoor deck.  I highly recommend this home and I hope to be back again. 
3504013,19207788,2014-09-08,7757734,Suzanne,"Very easy and good contact with Mary before and on arrival.
Beautiful home in a very nice area of Austin.  Easy access to
everything.  Home is so comfy it was hard to get in gear sometimes
to go out and explore (it was also very hot and humid)
"
3504013,19544337,2014-09-14,13677697,Carole,"What a fantastic house and beautiful quiet neighborhood!  My husband and I stayed here with our 26 year old niece, and all of us loved it.  Mary has done a great job furnishing the house with lovely pieces that ""fit"" the feel and style of the house.  Lots of windows and extremely spacious, including the bedrooms.  The beds were very comfy, and the linens and pillows were excellent quality.  The carport came in very handy with the rainy weather.  And to top it off (from our perspective), there is a beautiful, friendly neighborhood kitty.   Mary stayed in touch before and during our visit and kindly left a bottle of wine to welcome us.  We are already planning our next visit to Austin with our niece and will try to stay here!"
3504013,20822845,2014-10-06,2637257,Karen,"Great rental in Austin for a group of friends.  The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, birds chirping every morning.  It is about a mile walk to Zilker Park downhill, which also means uphill back at the end of the night but very doable.  It was a great setting for attending ACL.
The house was spacious and clean.  Kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with necessities.  Fans, a/c, dryer and laundry all worked well and made our stay a comfortable one.  The deck and back yard was particularly fun for hanging out. 
The host was very responsive an welcomed us at the beginning with tips. They live next door but that didn't bother us, I never saw them again.
"
3504013,21895265,2014-10-26,5806971,Sheila,"Mary was very welcoming and made herself available to us.  The house was well provisioned for the first night or two (milk, coffee, beer, juice, butter, sugar, etc.) - a very nice touch and much appreciated.  Great kitchen set up.  The house is in a super location - close to Barton Spring and Zilker Park.  Close to good eating and music listening places.  Master bed (the only one we used) was very comfortable with nice linens.  The house felt very spacious and comfortable.  The quiet, private back deck was a lovely spot for morning coffee.  We would be more than happy to stay again next time."
3504013,22366797,2014-11-04,22018129,Freya,"Mary was a lovely host and even though unfortunately we never ending up meeting, I could tell she was certainly on hand if need be. We really appreciated all the hard work she'd put into making the house as hospitable as possible from providing a welcome pack of Austin guide maps to the smallest details of an umbrella hanging up should we need it (although for us, the supplied aftersun came to more use!) 

The area is lovely, woody and peaceful but not remote. Just a short 2 minute walk to a food mart and a walk away from Barton Springs. I loved hearing the kettle coming to a whistle on the stove whilst having breakfast sitting on the rocking chair on the back porch watching all the squirrels leaping about amoungst the great oak trees. Such a calm neighbourhood and I often imagined that the rest of my friends and family would enjoy staying there just as much as my brother and I did. 

If I ever find myself in Austin again, I needn't look anywhere else! Certainly recommend it!"
3504013,22531196,2014-11-09,4227271,Sara,"What a great house! The backyard deck is fantastic, the rooms are spare and relaxing, we really enjoyed our stay here. And the neighborhood cat -- Simba -- was a highlight. Probably the best cat in the world, hanging out with us while we enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck."
3504013,22777699,2014-11-14,4893298,Mary,Nice house. Good location. Thank you for hosting our group. 
3504013,23928988,2014-12-14,481009,Diane,"Mary's home was quaint and cozy. The location is great for those wanting to stay near Zilker Park as it is within walking distance. The outdoor deck is a wonderful spot to spend your morning or even evening. Mary even checked up on us to ensure everything was going well and even left a few basics such as water, milk, and beer in the fridge for us. Consider staying here if you have events going in the area."
3504013,24128249,2014-12-20,24926131,Rebecca,"I feel sad to leave this beautiful home after only 3 days!
Mary made everything easy, and was really accommodating after I was caught out and needed somewhere at short notice. 

The house was fantastic. Clean, bright, well loved,  with a great garden and of course deck. It was a wrench to drive away. 

The neighbourhood was really peaceful, but near enough to South Congress, and Downtown so that travel wasn't a burden. Zilker Park and Barton Springs pool were within walking distance- great for a swim. A car was helpful but on foot was easy. A cab back from Downtown wasn't too painful on the pocket after a late end to the day.

I would stay here again in a heartbeat- next time in Austin......."
3504013,24948566,2015-01-04,6969945,Rachel,"Mary was a wonderful host with a lovely home and an incredible backyard. Her place is within walking distance (~1 mile) to Barton Springs, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, and the 10 mile hike and bike trail around Lake Austin. I couldn't have asked for a better location.

Although we never met in person, I knew that Mary was readily available if anything were to come up. I'd stay again in a heartbeat."
3504013,25261916,2015-01-11,20538771,Sally,Mary was a great communicator and responded to every question promptly!
3504013,25566188,2015-01-19,25720550,Stacy,"Mary was a great host and made the whole process very easy. She provided check-in instructions the morning of our scheduled arrival, and was also available when we arrived to give us a tour of the house. In addition, we were provided with a written copy of general instructions for our stay at the house, along with a great guide to the city and home-made cookies!

The house itself is great, very cozy and accurately described on the website. The house was also very conveniently located to Zilker Park, downtown Austin, and other fun areas. I would definitely stay in this house in the future."
3504013,27195309,2015-02-28,19836313,Greg,The description of Mary's place on the site was accurate. The house was well equipped and charmingly decorated. The neighborhood was exactly as described and exactly what we were looking for.
3504013,27336457,2015-03-02,1387128,Nory,"Mary was so accommodating and so welcoming. The house even looks and feels better in person. We were greeted with fresh baked cookies and my name on a welcome baord, we had such a great experience. I 100% recommend staying here and I look forward to my next stay:)  "
3504013,27794223,2015-03-12,17607264,Vincent,"Even with four crazy kids, we had a fabulous time. We knew our host was a fall away and we felt right at home in the neighborhood. The location was close enough to walk to Zilker Park as well as downtown Austin, so that's what we enjoyed. Everyone loved the deck and hammock as well as finding the neighborhood cat. I highly recommend! "
3504013,28116130,2015-03-18,889564,Just,"Mary is a really nice host. She gave us a lift to the bicycle rental place and took the time to give tips about the best places to go. The place is as advertised. Close enough to downtown Austin and in a really nice neighborhood. It features great bedrooms and a well equipped kitchen. The only 'problem' is the height of the shower-head, which is a bit low for people with an over average length, but that shouldn't stop you from renting the place. "
3504013,28381352,2015-03-23,18866675,Sherie,"The place is nice, and very well-located. We were welcomed with a note and treats in the kitchen! The curtains in the back bedroom are quite sheer; a little more privacy would be good. The wifi was pretty spotty and worked better in the kitchen and living room since the router was in the house next door. I asked Mary and she checked with AT&T, who reported high broadband traffic during sxsw.

I forgot some items there and Mary has been responsive and helpful in getting them returned. I would stay here again."
3504013,28773609,2015-03-30,11983125,Desiree,"Our stay at Mary's house was absolutely perfect!!  It was rented for my grandmother and our friend but it is where we got ready for my wedding and I can't tel you how perfect the house was!  The rooms are open and the house is gorgeous!  Had enough room for everyone to be in the house together and enjoy our time together before the wedding. Bathe back patio is absolutely gorgeous and ads a special element to the ambiance of the house and stay!  She location couldn't have been more perfect is the 78704 area, clean quiet and close to EVERYTHING.  Mary was a gracious host and we will always look to stay at Mary's house again when we come to Austin."
3504013,29493127,2015-04-08,17554358,Janet,We had a perfect stay at Mary's place! We couldn't have asked for nicer surroundings or more comfortable accommodations. The neighborhood was quiet and a nice place to walk in the evening.
3504013,29821544,2015-04-13,5656895,Greg,"A friend and I had a great 4 nights at Mary's while in Austin to attend the MotoGP race at COTA. We really enjoyed the quiet, established neighborhood filled with beautiful mature trees. Mary's house is very nicely furnished and very comfortable. The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable and although the weather was (thankfully) unseasonably cool, the central air was great. Our favorite place was definitely the back deck-a fantastic place to sit and enjoy an adult beverage and the massive canopy from the trees while listening to an amazing variety of bird calls. If you sit back there, you will almost assuredly get a visit from Simba, the neighborhood feline who is very personable and friendly. We found several places we really enjoyed eating (and drinking) within walking distance and considered our trip to the downtown zoo on 6th to have been a waste of time. We preferred the neighborhood places near Mary's and SoCo. The bus line is within easy walking distance if you choose to get around that way. Mary was very helpful with suggestions or answers to any questions immediately. I would highly recommend Mary's and if I return to Austin would definitely consider it my preferred place to stay. Thank you Mary!"
3504013,30393267,2015-04-21,28864496,Janice,"Mary's house was ideal for myself and 2 friends reuniting for a 5 day visit in Austin.  
 I'm an early morning walker and loved the quiet neighborhood within walking distance down to Barton Springs. Travel from the airport, into the city and out to the hill country was simple.
The home was spacious, clean, with all the amenities of home with plenty of soft linens and super comfy beds. 
Mary was a great host and a pleasure to communicate with throughout my first Airbnb experience. I would stay there again if ever back in Austin."
3504013,30682705,2015-04-26,2120608,Susanna And Michael,Lovely home with lots of natural light. Great location. Clean. Mary was in touch whenever we needed her. Would recommend to anyone staying in ATX.
3504013,31055736,2015-05-01,26628310,Lorna,"Mary and her house made for an incredible experience on my first trip to Austin.  She was very easy to communicate with and made me feel right at home in Austin.  The welcome board and books/maps were such nice touches as well. The house has a very nice big open feel, comfortable beds, lots of natural light, well equipped kitchen,huge backyard with a nice deck to relax. Its in a quiet mature neighborhood and walking distance to most all of the hot spots in Austin. Plus, never paid more than $5-7 on uber when returning home late at night. I can't wait to return here for another trip. "
3504013,31702987,2015-05-09,12122361,John,"House was very clean, beautifully appointed and decorated. The area is lush green and very friendly. Mary was a fantastic host. Beers were waiting for us when we arrived, Mary checked we were ok on arrival and was on hand if we needed anything. Communication was superb! I highly recommend both the house and Mary and we will definitely be staying here next time we are in town."
3504013,32360224,2015-05-17,4467394,Timmy,We loved this property.  Mary made the check in process easy and convenient.  We loved the tree lined back yard and deck.  The outdoor shower was perfect after a run in the park.  The house is comfortable and spacious.  We looked around quite a bit before settling in on this home.  It was by far the best value of anything we considered.
3504013,32968852,2015-05-24,28993594,Alma,Mary was a great host.  She made checking in a breeze and answered all our questions in a timely manner.  The house was lovely and we really enjoyed the deck.  The location was also close to great restaurants and entertainment venues.  We particularly enjoyed the neighborhood Cat.  Thank You
3504013,33673670,2015-05-31,16901070,Ian,"Mary was an outstanding in host in that she was available (right next door) if needed and otherwise left us to enjoy her house. She greeted us on our arrival and gave us a tour explaining the layout and facilities. 
Mary made sure we could always get ahold of her even if just for some local food/drink recommendations and checked in on us when there was some rather heavy thunderstorms in the area just to make sure we were okay.
Her house was ideal for a stay in southern Austin allowing if you're up for a walk of a mile or so to get to the local bars/restaurants on S. Lamar & Barton Springs Rd.

We would definately stay here again on our return to Austin!"
3504013,35488955,2015-06-19,1278658,Sanam,"Mary's place was great. Wonderful neighborhood, very clean house, lots of care and attention to the details. Would definitely stay here again on a trip to Austin. The shades in the bedrooms are quite light, so if you're sensitive to light while sleeping that might be an issue, but it was fine for us. Stay here if you get the chance!"
3504013,35738806,2015-06-21,35857016,Heather,"Amazing place.  Mary was very kind and gave awesome Recs on what to do . 
Can't wait to go back."
3504013,36480207,2015-06-28,4679957,Nishan,We had a wonderful time at Mary's home. It is a cute home in a nice quiet neighborhood. Mary was also super friendly and very welcoming! Hope to be back soon!
3504013,37248001,2015-07-05,7337838,Heidi,"This was the perfect location for our family of 4. We took in Zilker, Barton Springs, enjoyed Lamar, and even managed to walk a couple blocks away to see the fireworks. The house and yard were perfect. Everything was exactly as described. If you're a light sleeper, the light window coverings might disturb you, so bring a sleep mask. "
3504013,37628463,2015-07-08,2195592,Megan,"Adorable and comfy bed. Would stay every trip to Austin. Thank you, Mary!"
3504013,40194733,2015-07-29,8258599,Tricia,"Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Mary myself, although she did pop in to check everything was OK. The listing was accurate, and the neighbourhood was nice and quiet. The place was large and adequately equipped. "
3504013,43170270,2015-08-17,40956247,Victoria,"Fantastic trip and what an amazing host Mary was!  The house was very clean and incredibly cozy.  Would recommend staying at this home anytime.  My daughter, husband and I were very comfortable.  I felt right at home:). Thanks for an awesome trip Mary!"
3504013,45598186,2015-09-04,41568335,John,"Mary made us very welcome, and was a great resource as we spent time helping our son relocate to Austin.  The house was as advertised, very nice, very nice and quiet neighborhood.  Very close and easy access to all points in and around Austin.  Beautiful deck!  "
3504013,47261176,2015-09-17,12263592,Shonagh,"Mary was a fantastic host.   She was very flexible and accomodating.  The house was very comfortable and in a fantastic location, close to shops and conveniences on South Lamar and walks along Colorado River.
I would highly recommend Mary and this accommodation."
3504013,47715895,2015-09-21,41208572,Tomi,"Great place!!!  Spacious, comfortable beds, perfect location.  Will definitely stay there again!  Thank you!"
3504013,49611483,2015-10-05,4409156,Brianna,Absolutely loved Mary's place! We were so comfortable and felt so welcomed. Mary was very quick to respond and accommodated an early check-in due to my flight arriving so early. Great location - walking distance from Zilker Park. Would definitely rent again. 
3504013,50438392,2015-10-12,34539749,Jordan,Mary was very accommodating. We spent the weekend in Austin for ACL festival (house EXTREMELY close to Zilker!) and didn't spend too much time at the house but when we were there we felt right at home. Will look to stay again our next time in Austin. 
3504013,51457676,2015-10-20,149848,Karen,"This house was perfect for the three of us. The main bedroom is light filled with good closet space. The kitchen was large and had everything we needed. We made good use of the deck, and the backyard (complete with hammock) is landscaped and huge. It's very conveniently located within walking distance of Barton Springs, which we visited daily. Mary couldn't have been more helpful or flexible. The wifi connection was slow, but that's my only minor quibble about this spotless, charming house. Don't hesitate to book! Bonus friendly calico cat next door. "
3504013,51960713,2015-10-25,44250871,Corrine,The location can't be beat! We had no idea how walkable this neighborhood is to south congress and south Lamar. The house is great and we had a wonderful time!! We came in town during a crazy rain storm and Mary was very helpful with knowing which roads to avoid and giving indoor suggestions. 
3504013,53078540,2015-11-04,6969945,Rachel,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Mary's house for the second time and found it a wonderful home away from home. Mary and her husband were as accommodating as ever, and I couldn't recommend the house more highly. "
7698431,41884057,2015-08-09,40231540,Melanie,"Brian was really accommodating to our schedule. The place was so quaint, clean, and the location was convenient. They had everything that a hotel would have for guests and more. We appreciate everything they did for us!

Definitely would recommend them to others!"
7698431,43459865,2015-08-19,35733097,Abigail,Loved the place very clean and tidy.  The location was great as well really close to downtown. 
7698431,46449574,2015-09-10,7018034,Sid,"The Ashwood Master Suite was very clean, comfy and private. We had a wonderful time at his place. Brian made us feel very welcome with tons of fruit and other goodies in the fridge. I am glad I got a chance to talk to Brian briefly during our stay. He's a great conversationalist!

I would certainly recommend his place to anyone visiting Austin :)"
7698431,46807864,2015-09-13,37944825,Danielle,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Ashwood Master Suite. This was perfect for us as we were coming into town for Austin adventures and eats and really just needed a place to shower & sleep. If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the place for you. We had some loud neighbors in the front apartment that is also rented out, and you can hear the kid noises as described in the posting usually in the mornings. It did not bother us, but may not be for everyone. Other than that, the pictures are exactly what this place looks like: nice and clean. The host even left some breakfast goodies (granola, fruit, yogurt) and there is a small coffee set up. It's a great place for a quiet neighborhood, but still close to UT campus and downtown. 
"
7698431,48310125,2015-09-25,25372272,Tjarda,We stayed here for 11 days and it was great. Brian and his family are very welcoming and make sure you have everything you need. The location is close to downtown and there are many restaurants around. The house is in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Perfect place to stay!!
7698431,48568606,2015-09-27,5181112,Jackeline,"Brian's place couldn't have been any better! The community in which he lives is such a quirky area and we really appreciated that. It was a great retreat to come ""home"" to after a full day of festivities. We rarely heard any ""toddler noise"" but then again we have a 2.5yo ourselves so we might be biased ;) They were nice enough to leave coffee and granola for us (which the BF loved!). It will be hard to forget this place since I will be going back home engaged!! Thanks again Brian. "
7698431,48973270,2015-09-29,8673601,Andrea,"Our hosts were great! Comfy bed, nice private entrance, and super duper clean and stylish space. Thanks! "
7698431,49478909,2015-10-04,36697807,Emanuel,"Brian was a great host, and the room was super nice. Checking in and out was easy, and Brian gave good suggestions on food to eat and stuff to do in the area. There were no problems during our stay, except for a slight issue with the wifi, which Brian fixed without delay. All in all it was a great stay in a nice neighborhood! Highly recommended."
7698431,49939530,2015-10-07,30122940,Austin,"The apartment was clean, great amenities provided!  Check in was seamless and the location great as well.  Thanks Brian!"
7698431,50187457,2015-10-10,42785786,Philip,"Brian's place is in a great location, it was exactly as described. Lots of good places to eat and shops very close by. Coffee and bottled water was provided plus fruit and yoghurts were in the fridge when we arrived which was really kind.

You do get some noise from both above and the other Airbnb flat next to this one but we may have just been unlucky with loud next door neighbours, not Brian's fault. 

We would stay again"
7698431,50646130,2015-10-13,42326704,Kenzie,"Pleasant experience. Easy to communicate with. Clean and comfortable. Perfect for those who are going to be out and about during the day and just need a basic place. Brian had some breakfast items available which were a nice surprise. Only negative was colder shower water, but maybe this is the norm in Texas? Otherwise I would highly recommend this location/working with this couple."
7698431,51300137,2015-10-19,43206370,Callie,"Would highly recommend, getting exactly what was advertised. Perfect for weekend in Austin and was close to everything around the city, not walking distance but you don't have to get stuck in any traffic. Only a cheap uber ride from anything you want to do. Thanks Brian. "
7698431,51584464,2015-10-21,32839382,Tina,"Excellent! Just needed a quiet, peaceful, safe place to spend a night in Austin and this was perfect. Clean and neat apartment with private entry. Coffee and breakfast supplies provided. Very nice, peaceful neighborhood! Brian was an excellent host offering perfect suggestions on where to hang out! I will definitely stay here again when in Austin!"
7698431,51910977,2015-10-25,3820177,Joe,I stayed here for four nights and it was great for me. Brian had everything organized and communicated everything I needed to know. The place was very clean and it's a quiet unit in a quiet neighborhood. Getting to and from downtown was a breeze. I would stay here again.
7698431,52761840,2015-11-01,46621222,Larry,"Brian was very quick to respond to my messages. The place was clean and just as described. Just be aware that the walls are a bit thin so you are able to easily hear the coversations of othere guests staying in the building. That being said, I would still stay there again."
7698431,52937750,2015-11-02,47642847,Heather,"This was a great little apartment on a quiet street that was just 15 minutes walk from cafes and the best pulled pork Tacos we've ever eaten! It was nicely decorated, one of the owners gave us good suggestions about finding food. They left us some simple breakfast food and coffee for the morning. It was great!"
7698431,53150858,2015-11-05,38512432,Izzy,Another great stay with Brian and his family. The Master Suite is perfect for a single person or a couple staying a few days in Austin. I previously stayed in the duplex which I love also; but it was a lot of room for flying solo. It was nice to have a kitchen in the duplex for longer stays in Austin. Great neighborhood! Great clean space! I'm familiar with Austin so don't need much but Brian and his family have always been warm and welcoming! 
736238,3641761,2013-02-26,2839355,Jyosna,"Tanya's place was an excellent, spacious townhouse that was a close drive to everything near Downtown Austin. She got in touch with me and answered all my questions very promptly. There was plenty of parking for our 2 cars, and the house was in a very new, safe neighborhood near a beautiful park.

736238,12312522,2014-04-28,14417455,Leslie,"This place is AWESOME! Clean adorable home, in an extremely safe family neighborhood. Tanya was quick to respond & SUPER nice. She even left us complimentary coffee & fresh fruit. There's plenty of space & multiple of beds and couches, YOU NEED TO BOOK HERE! And no...I'm not a fake person, and yes-i've stayed here. If I ever go to austin again, this will be my first choice over any hotel/motel/rental. Thanks Tanya! :)"
736238,15315642,2014-07-07,515457,Tom,"Our stay at Tanya's beautiful home was exceptional. She is an incredible host who provided clean sheets, towels, and coffee for seven adults. We immediately felt at home and enjoyed the time we could spend together at her big dining table and in her living room. The house is in a great location, as it is very close to downtown and the airport.  I couldn't recommend Tanya's home more highly. Thank you for having us Tanya! We so loved the time we spent in your home."
736238,18839762,2014-09-01,20268162,Caity,Tanya was such an incredible host! She left us towels and asked how many beds she needed to make for our arrival. She was extremely helpful and provided all information up front. I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The house was very warm and welcoming as well as extremely clean! 
736238,20441465,2014-09-29,20860418,Audrey,"We loved everything about our stay! Tanya is an excellent host, and her home was exactly as we had expected. The neighborhood was quiet and also close to downtown activities. I would highly recommend staying here for a weekend getaway to Austin. "
736238,21277489,2014-10-14,4994061,Linda,"I would recommend this townhouse and it's owners to anyone. The townhouse is located in a quiet area but still fairly close to downtown. The house accommodated our guest of 8 perfectly fine. Tanya's home had all the necessities you could possibly need- utensils, clean towels, clean restrooms, etc... Thanks for making our stay a pleasant one. "
736238,22289157,2014-11-03,10136591,Hector,"Location, Location, Location. Very clean, very well equipped, very practical home. Close to everything you need to do or visit in Austin, from the F1, to the Longhorn football games, this is your place.

Parking is easy even during big events. Maximum occupancy recommendation is 6,(or if you have kids, maybe 8)  we were 5, and feel there was room for one more to be really comfortable.

Tanya has a perfectly organized arrival and departure logistic, there is  a code, so you can arrive and leave at your leisure, so no need to wait for either party (highly recommended for airbnb renters)

Will be back ned year if they have us."
736238,23425357,2014-12-01,7874522,Luis,Great location.  The house had everything we needed including lots of children's books and fully equipped kitchen. 
736238,24359406,2014-12-27,22205457,Wilma,Excellent neighborhood to stay in. We all felt safe and secure walking anywhere. The townhouse was just as described in Tanya's listing. Tanya stayed in touch via email throughout our stay. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. 
736238,25538894,2015-01-19,22966567,Belia,This was a great home with everything we needed and more.  Very child friendly and was a perfect fit for my two girls.  The location was great. We will absolutely stay here if we visit again.  
736238,28375507,2015-03-23,7231954,Oliver,"The 6 of us  had a great time at Tanjas House in Austin. Its located in a friendly and calm, newly build neighborhood only a ten minute car ride away from downtown Austin. The house is spacious and comfortable. Tanja was a great host and responded to any possible question immediately. We'd love to come back. "
736238,29812358,2015-04-13,24328434,Renell,It was great! I loved that we could get into the house with a code and not have to worry about keys! The place was very clean and in a great neighborhood with a park just walking distance away! 
736238,30753869,2015-04-27,24419320,Jaime,Tanya was very accommodating with regards to check in and out time and always replied in a timely manner. The house was perfect for our needs (bachelorette party) and was clean and in a nice area. I would definitely recommend this place! 
736238,45978955,2015-09-07,39978352,Sofia,"We booked this townhouse for my friends bachelorette party and it was perfect! We slept comfortably and Tanya was so wonderful! Since it was a keyless entry it was easy to go in and out with so many girls. Tanya had towels for us, and the house was clean. We got to decorate and really have a blast during our stay. Definitely recommend!

"
736238,49587805,2015-10-05,32017011,Terry,The stay at Tanya's Airbnb was very pleasant. She had everything we needed and enough towels for everyone who stayed. We had 11 of us and it was spacious and comfortable. We were looking for a place for ACL and this was perfect. It was only a 15-20 min drive to Zilker Park and right down the street from HEB and other restaurants in the area. The neighborhood is really quiet and new! We really enjoyed Tanya's place and she was very welcoming. Thanks again!!!
736238,52205730,2015-10-27,32575485,Joseph,"Tanya was fantastic and so welcoming during our stay.  The house was perfect and was located in a great neighborhood.  We stayed for the F1 race weekend and everything was within great proximity (downtown, airport, and the track).  Grocery store and a Starbucks were just around the corner so everything was  extremely convenient.

I would highly recommend everyone check this place out!"
2500385,11197379,2014-03-24,4040201,Alexis,"Great space with courteous host!  Jason made everything easy, and was super welcoming. We arrived at the camper to a bottle of wine. Would definitely recommend staying in the Spartan to anyone visiting Austin. "
2500385,11370430,2014-03-31,12938226,Jackson,"The Spartan is a great place to stay for a short weekend trip.  Great location and the host was very accommodating.

"
2500385,11455701,2014-04-03,13092028,Kiki,"We really loved the trailer. Even better than the pics! Hip, modern vibe. VERY clean and pretty much all accommodations we needed, including a pair of loaner bikes! The only thing I might suggest is a floor fan for the sleeping area. It never seemed to cool off back there like it did in the living area. Jason has really done the place up nicely though. We want to come back!"
2500385,11597160,2014-04-08,6511805,Jessica,This place was adorable and perfect for a short stay. 
2500385,11719312,2014-04-13,13061587,Katy,"We absolutely loved the Spartan - it was such a fun and unique place to stay. Location was great, in a nice neighbourhood that was interesting to walk around and seemed safe, even at night. There were a couple of very good coffee shops and a garage a short walk away which were handy. It was a decent walk to downtown Austin - around 25-30 mins but we had no problem with that as the walk was through safe areas and it was fun to look around. The Spartan itself was extremely clean and had pretty much everything we needed - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend. "
2500385,11806766,2014-04-15,3588148,Drew,"My friends and I had a very relaxing stay in the Eastside Spartan. It was easy to check in, the rev was spotless and the amenities were great. Jason is as professional as they come. Will most certainly stay here again during my Austin trip. "
2500385,12343526,2014-04-29,389672,Casey,"Staying at Jason's Spartan during our trip to Austin was great. Check-in / check-out was a breeze and Jason was easy to communicate with. The spartan itself was clean, nicely fitted, and definitely lives up to the incredible photos. Thanks Jason for the great stay-"
2500385,12411112,2014-05-01,9111885,Jorge,"Jason replied promptly to any questions I had.  The place was awesome, my son loved it. "
2500385,12620208,2014-05-06,11919062,Christian,"Couldn't have been better!  Clean, private, and an easy walk downtown.  Definitely looking forward to staying there again on my next trip back."
2500385,12691897,2014-05-08,7951556,Paul,we had a great time. clean place and great location.
2500385,12834651,2014-05-12,13973608,Christopher,This rental was exactly as promised. It is very clean and has nice decor. The location is within walking distance of some great restaurants such as the Salty Sow and the Hillside Farmacy. I would rent again.
2500385,13018981,2014-05-17,15275476,Tripp,"Eastside Spartan was exactly as listing described, clean and awesome decor.  Great location near east campus and within walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants. Jason was an excellent host.  Check-in/out was easy and he made some great recommendations.  We definitely hope to stay here again when we visit Austin."
2500385,13141250,2014-05-20,5966501,Martha,"I wish I could live here.  I cannot put into words how much my friend and I enjoyed calling our decked-out trailer home for a few days while we were checking out Austin.  It was spotless, and had everything we could have ever needed.  If you are planning to stay in Austin and looking for a clean unique place to stay in a really cool neighborhood, this is the place. Jason was out of town when we arrived but getting the key and the information we needed was easy.  Thank you for having us, and well done on creating such a neat space! 

"
2500385,13279124,2014-05-24,11308050,Adam,"The Spartan is anything but spartan. Rather, it's well appointed and very comfortable! It was nice to have a kitchen and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Also, the ac runs like a champ which is essential for summer in Austin. I highly recommend the Spartan and hope to visit again soon!"
2500385,13326434,2014-05-25,3406800,Tracy,"The Spartan was a fun experience!  The finish out is incredible and it was very comfortable, clean and surprisingly spacious.  We walked down and caught the commuter train into Downtown where we had a great dinner and drinks at Max's Wine Dive, then returned to the Spartan for a comfortable bed to sleep in.  It was much more fun than staying in a hotel and we would highly recommend it!  In addition, Jason was great to work with and made certain that everything was in order for our stay, down to the Lone Star Beer waiting for us in the refrigerator! Thanks for a wonderful experience!  "
2500385,13482836,2014-05-28,115682,Birgit,"We had a great time in Austin. The spartan is the perfect location!!! It is close to everything but really calm and relaxed at the same time. Jason was super nice and gave us the best restaurant tip ever - the salty sow. It is around the corner and we went there twice.
Thanks for having us, when we come back we definitely stay here again!"
2500385,13679404,2014-06-02,8804511,Matt,"This trailer was exactly as advertised. My family and I had a fantastic time, and my kids asked from the moment we arrived until we left if we could pull the trailer back to Georgia with us. This was a good space within spitting distance of the UT campus and all kinds of fun places. Thanks Jason!"
2500385,13816155,2014-06-05,13902244,Kate,"We loved our stay here! It's a quaint and beautiful trailer, surprisingly roomy and a fun alternative to a hotel. Modern upgrades and about everything you need, including cookware. It's near downtown - we were able to walk to the Capitol and nightlife in 20 minutes or so. Jason was very nice, friendly and responsive. We recommend it and would definitely stay here again. "
2500385,14476270,2014-06-20,3357667,Kristopher,We had a great stay in the spartan. Good location with parking and Jason was very helpful and (website hidden) was cold and the trailer was very clean. I would stay here again
2500385,15408328,2014-07-08,1130916,Christopher,Jason was a very great host. When I had a question he responded quickly. I loved the time spent in the trailer and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to my friends and family. 
2500385,15701068,2014-07-14,1606857,Matt,"Enjoyed my stay in the Spartan. The neighborhood is quiet, and everything Austin has to offer is a short Uber ride away. My WiFi and AT&T cell reception was spotty at times, but that is to be expected with the amount of metal in the trailer. 

Jason was responsive, friendly and helpful. I'll definitely try to get the Spartan again next time I'm in Austin. 

"
2500385,16222886,2014-07-23,2265249,Saul & Candice,We had a wonderful stay at the Spartan for our short stay in Austin. Communication was clear and helpful. Everything was clean and very comfy. Great central location! 
2500385,16486908,2014-07-28,16972509,Shanti,"Excellent spot, exactly as described. Comfortably fit 3 girl inside and we could get everywhere we wanted to go easily. "
2500385,16961680,2014-08-04,16944859,Sebastian,"Great host, charming Spartan, brand new interiors, very comfortable and well located. Jason was a great host"
2500385,17165614,2014-08-08,9847842,Nicola,"We had a lovely stay in the trailer. It looks exactly as presented in the pics and is in a good location for catching the no 6, 18 or 20 bus to different parts of town. The air con was great in the extremely hot summer weather and Jason was quick at responding to questions. We would stay here again."
2500385,17423303,2014-08-11,19692889,Joanna,"Great experience! Great space! Great host! This was my first experience with airbnb and Jason was the perfect introductory host. From my 1st message requesting the space to the last one letting him know I was checked out, he responded politely and within minutes. The Spartan is private, clean, spacious, stocked, well designed and comfortable. The 2 AC's work great, the wifi signal is strong, lights are on dimmer switches, the kitchen has everything you need, and the tv with cable is an added bonus. I look forward to many more stays in the future!"
2500385,18364634,2014-08-25,20029973,Jet,"The RV was beautiful and comfortable for our weekend stay. Despite the hot weather, the a/c units kept us cool, and the private deck was a bonus in the evenings! Jason was quick to respond to messages, and friendly, making sure we had all we needed."
2500385,18824965,2014-09-01,12938301,Gabriella,"My three girlfriends and I spent Labor Day weekend in Austin. Like Austin, Jason's Spartan was quirky and cool. The air conditioning was refreshing after touring the city in 100-degree weather, and we enjoyed lounging on the patio late at night, after it had somewhat cooled. There are a few bus stops within a 10-minute walk from the Spartan, but my friends and I usually used Lyft and Uber to get around. Downtown Austin is just over the bridge, so the rides were short and cheap (about $10). 

Jason was a wonderful host. He responded quickly to our inquiries and made us all feel welcome and excited to be in Austin. I highly recommend!"
2500385,20380390,2014-09-28,9159369,Wei Wern,"The Spartan was truly a unique living experience. In addition, it was conveniently located in Austin. Although I did not see Jason much, he was very helpful and accomadating for any questions I had. Would definitely recommend this place!"
2500385,21148521,2014-10-12,631693,Daniel,Such a cool place.  Just as advertised.  Private and easy to get to and communicate with host.
2500385,21668035,2014-10-21,5664007,Benjamin,"The Eastside Spartan was found to be just-as-advertised. Jason was available for questions via text. The trailer was clean and well-stocked. The wi-fi was spotty at times. Extra linens, a queen size futon, dishware, and cable television were provided.

The only con may be the price. I would stay here again. Thank you Jason."
2500385,21979988,2014-10-27,9260379,Molly,"This was my first time in Austin & I will definitely be back! Loved staying in the Spartan, & was grateful it had AC even in late October. We had everything we needed & it was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom is gorgeous! Especially in a vintage trailer. I would highly recommend the Spartan to anyone wanting a unique place to stay."
2500385,22291286,2014-11-03,7480352,Larissa,"My boyfriend and I loved staying here during our first visit to austin.  We came for the F1 racing and to see the city and this place was perfect for both. There we lots of restaurants and coffee within walking distance and it was a 5 min taxi downtown.  The place itself was clean, quiet, private, and the kitchen was useful."
2500385,22557954,2014-11-09,23108548,Trent,My wife and I had a great time staying at the Spartan. Would definitely do it again. Jason was a great host.
2500385,22899325,2014-11-17,735107,Andrzej,Jason's space is great! He was really helpful and was able to accommodate our requests and we enjoyed our stay a lot! We would totally rent it again. 
2500385,23625111,2014-12-07,15037951,Cashelle,The Spartan was wonderful! Jason made check in and check out very easy. It was beautifully decorated and cozy. It was easy to find and had a cute little yard. I wish I'd stayed in summer- even in Austin it gets chilly in the winter (but the Spartan never was- temperature control was perfect)! We were able to walk about a mile to some great bars and restaurants in East Austin. 
2500385,24121058,2014-12-20,6575637,Sebastien,"My girlfriend and I had a great time staying at the Spartan, it's obvious that Jason has put a ton of work into renovating the space and making it stylish and comfortable. What you see in the photos is what you get, so be aware that it is a small/narrow space, where you'll be in close quarters with your trailer-mate, but the many windows and layout mean that it feels cozy, not cramped for the most part.

Check-in/out was seamless and Jason was always available via text when we had question and super friendly when we bumped into him in the neighborhood. There are a few great coffee shops and restaurants nearby (we liked Bennu, Cherrywood Coffeehouse, and Austin Daily Press the best) and we managed to get around Austin using a combination of walking, bikeshare, and Uber for four days without any trouble. "
2500385,24254925,2014-12-23,19134763,Mark,"Great place, unique and very clean.  Jason is extremely easy to work with!"
2500385,24394968,2014-12-27,8529579,Jason,"Jason was the perfect hands-off host. We never met in person, but he made us feel welcome and his instructions were clear and easy. The Spartan is an amazingly designed tiny house that feels as spacious and clean as the photos show. It's probably the most comfortable tiny house I've ever stayed in (and I took some notes for my own future tiny house build! :)"
2500385,24652408,2015-01-01,8592460,Adam Mackey,"Only had a little contact with Jason, but everything was just as we expected and he was very good about coordinating check-in and check out times. "
2500385,25066169,2015-01-05,2007866,Joey,"The trailer was exactly as described plus much more. Perfect location in East Austin, $11 dollar Uber or a $1 bus ride to the Capitol. I'll be back in Austin in June and there is no doubt I'll be booking this trailer again. Thank you Jason! "
2500385,25456467,2015-01-16,522455,Joan,"Only stayed for one night but it was great! Really comfortable, even with three people. Really nice bathroom/kitchen setup. The patio is awesome. The host was very communicative."
2500385,25750691,2015-01-25,10713712,Rae,Great experience. Jason was in contact before our arrival with detailed directions for finding the place. The camper was very clean and neatly organized! It was a bit chilly so we were happy to find three heaters were left for us. We enjoyed our stay!
2500385,25945198,2015-01-30,13605962,Andrea,"The trailer was amazing! Loved the space and our private little yard was an unexpected bonus. Jason was extremely helpful with directions, parking and assistance throughout the trip. "

2500385,26594366,2015-02-16,25112594,Sandra,"This was my first Airbnb experience. While, I'm used to staying in hotels, it was an absolute pleasure staying at the Eastside Spartan!! Our host, Jason, graciously greeted us upon arrival (even if it was at 11:30 pm). He has obviously put a lot of care and attention into this modern, clean, and comfortable living space. We appreciated everything from the updated kitchen and bathroom to the color-coordinated decorations. Every little detail was well thought out in this space. And we were pleasantly surprised to see some basic toiletry supplies in the bathroom drawer...a little touch of luxury :) Located very close to the airport, State Capitol, and other fun attractions, the Eastside Spartan is a sure bet for your next stay in Austin. "
2500385,26896830,2015-02-21,27900942,Ryan,Jason was an excellent host and provided swift and thorough information when I needed it.  The location is excellent and the space is extremely cozy and beautifully renovated.  Will definitely stay at this location the next time I am in Austin.
2500385,27124393,2015-02-26,8115810,Ann,We had a great time in the cozy Eastside Spartan!  The trailer is very clean and Jason was always available if we had questions.  I could easily walk to my conference at the AT&T conference centre.
2500385,27568404,2015-03-07,17215853,Ethan,The reservation was canceled 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2500385,27651419,2015-03-09,26591089,Margaret,"The Spartan Trailer was as advertised! Super cool and exactly how it looks in the pictures (minus the shower head, but who really cares about that ?!) Jason was responsive and there if/when you needed him. Comfortably accommodates two guests, more if you are strategic with showering... the trailer has a 10 gallon water heater, leaving 10 minutes of hot water at a time. Totally manageable and expected when booking this kind of unique and fun space. 

The neighborhood is conveniently located, with a short Uber ride or drive to all of Austin's popular destinations. Bennu Coffee (Great Coffee!), Juice Land (Refreshing Juices and Smoothies), Austin Daily Press (Breakfast Tacos and Sandwiches) and The Wheel (Craft Beer and Cocktails) are all right around the corner and within walking distance. 

We loved The Spartan and would definitely recommend staying there if you are looking for a fun place to stay when visiting Austin. "
2500385,27811372,2015-03-12,2225377,Emily,"The Spartan Trailer was super cool, and to our surprise, was exactly how it looks in the pictures. Jason was extremely responsive and communicative. 

We came for SXSW and comfortably slept 3 people. The neighborhood is pretty conveniently located near some popular destination in Austin's East side, and is a quick Uber ride or drive to downtown Austin

We absolutely loved The Spartan and would definitely recommend staying there!"
2500385,28394189,2015-03-23,8574317,Nina,This was a great find! First time in Austin and we felt tucked away comfortably in a great little corner of the city with a lot of personality. We'd definitely do it again. 
2500385,28709321,2015-03-29,1751295,Jen,"The Spartan was the quintessential Austin experience. It was clean, centrally located and exactly as the photos show. If I ever make it back to Austin, I know exactly where Ill be staying. Thanks for adding to a great trip! "
2500385,28936763,2015-04-01,23453784,Lee,"Jason was a great host. We never actually met him, but we met his wife, and he was very responsive via email and text. The Spartan in real life looked exactly like the pictures, and there were additional small amenities like shampoo and salt and pepper included as well. We even asked Jason's wife for a bit of butter and she was happy to oblige. We had our own porch and private yard, but Jason's house was just over the fence so he was convenient if we needed him. The Spartan was in easy walking distance to the University of Texas Austin campus, and we ended up walking a lot around the UT and Eastside neighborhoods. Overall, the camper was homey, comfortable, and unique. It made our stay in Austin twice as memorable."
2500385,29171493,2015-04-05,27295840,Rachel,"We had an amazing time at this property.  The Spartan is just as great as it looks in pictures. It's a very comfortable spot, in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown and other main attractions.  Jason was incredibly responsive, and made us feel extremely welcome.  We would definitely stay here again and are eager to recommend the Spartan to others!"
2500385,29739607,2015-04-12,27977546,Miles,"We had a great time staying in the spartan. It was clean, perfectly organized and adorable. Our hosts were close but gave us complete privacy. The location was perfect for our trip as well.  We would definitely suggest staying here. "
2500385,30130041,2015-04-18,15145750,Chloe And Adam,"The Eastside Spartan was very enjoyable to stay in as a mini-appartment and something a little different. We had never stayed in a trailer like this before and wanted to try it out. It's been beautifully restored and modernized. The living area is a decent size to relax in, and the whole thing was beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything you would wish for - bedding, towels, lots of spare toiletries, all kitchen equipment. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. It was a bit of an oversight that there wasn't a blind on one of the bedroom windows when we stayed - it made it feel slightly less private and it was a bit difficult to get dressed/undressed without feeling in view of the outside. Not a huge deal, but perhaps would bother some.

The neighbourhood was very peaceful. The nearby Leona st backs onto a big green cemetery so there's little noise of traffic, and it was very leafy and pleasant. There is a Juice Land that makes delicious fresh fruit and veg smoothies, and a good coffee shop, just round the corner too - about 5-10 minutes walk on E Martin Luther King Jr. Would recommend having a car to get around as it's a bit far from downtown to walk, only $6-7 in an uber taxi though. Car transportation seems to be a necessity for Austin in general though, it's not a public transport-friendly city, so we hired a car for our whole stay.

Jason gave us all the info we needed for arrival, and was extremely quick to communicate via text while we were there, helpfully responding to our questions.

Our only slight disappointment was that this was a very hands-off host. It was not a hugely personally welcoming experience - a note on the table would have been nice, or even just a generic printed welcome sheet with a few recommendations of things to try in Austin or local eateries, grocery stores etc would have been very much appreciated. This is part of what makes the Air bnb experience a bit special compared to just booking a private rental or hotel. If this doesn't bother you, though, then it's not a big issue. "
2500385,31201421,2015-05-03,18883346,Whitney,"This place is perfect! Everything in Austin seemed to be around 8 minutes or less from the trailer to your destination. The neighborhood was super quiet and cozy during the evenings. This place looks exactly like the listing, if not better. We were able to make friends with another couple renting Jason's adjacent airbnb rental. Connecting with Jason with any questions was seamless. Though 4 can definitely stay here comfortably ( as far as sleeping arrangements) I recommend this for a party of 2, as your shower time would be pretty limited.
Cheers!"
2500385,32127727,2015-05-14,13568842,Kristina,"The Spartan was great! Perfectly located, private and clean! Thanks jason "
2500385,32211197,2015-05-15,20912546,Doug,"Exactly as expected.  We were in Austin for the night to see a show and this was perfect.  What an amazing restoration of this trailer.  Neighborhood is really nice and convenient to town.  Unique and fun, I'd stay here again in a heartbeat."
2500385,32839991,2015-05-22,29002406,Tony,"We stayed at the eastside spartan for one night and it was fantastic! The location was perfect. The space was clean and very nice, plenty of room for us. All amenities worked wonderfully and Jason was very helpful and friendly coordinating with us. We would definitely stay here again!"
2500385,33302761,2015-05-26,173573,Ren,"We had an awesome experience in the Spartan Trailer! Jason was a great host, and everything was seamless and comfortable. "
2500385,33636551,2015-05-30,34394927,Mary,Super cute and quaint place to stay!  Decent neighbor hood.  Extremely close to UT campus.  For it being a renovated airstream I was really pleased with the amount of space inside.  Bring egg crates for extra padding on the second bed/futon. 
2500385,34044439,2015-06-03,12293272,Sarah,"Loved our stay in this quirky little space--very clean, comfortable, and inviting. Would definitely stay here again upon returning to Austin. "
2500385,34510570,2015-06-08,16190072,Catherine,"We really loved our time in the Spartan, it had all of the necessary modern amenities plus the charm and thrill of a vintage trailer. We were a family of four and had plenty of room. Jason was responsive and helpful on all fronts. It was great."
2500385,35873046,2015-06-22,14908482,Emily,Staying at the Spartan was a wonderful experience. Jason made sure we were able to check in and out with ease and was alway a call or text away if we had any questions. The actual accommodations were very cozy and clean. The pictures for this place are true to life and it really is a wonderful place to stay while visiting austin.  
2500385,36157960,2015-06-25,1671593,Sara,"Booking process, check in and check out all very easy. Jason responded promptly and was able to accommodate us at the last minute - thank you! 
The Spartan was awesome, and the two a/c units cooled the place down quickly, even in the summer heat. Neighborhood was quiet and a short (driving) distance to stores and restaurants - cool little juice bar around the corner. "
2500385,36235424,2015-06-26,34614610,Janet,"Jason sent me texts to keep me informed. All was as described (even better); all the comforts of a hotel room, all the quirkiness and charm of East Austin.  Texas State Cemetery (a short jog away) is delightful!"
2500385,36342933,2015-06-27,13229851,Ashley,"Do it! The Spartan is clean, comfortable and in a good location. I was nervous that the A/C might not cut it in the Texas heat, but it worked like a champ. The pictures do not disappoint. The only note I have is that hot water is limited, so if you are traveling with a shower hog, call shotgun on first shower. I'd definitely return."
2500385,36547882,2015-06-29,3542044,Matt,"Awesome trailer - Jason did some really impressive work to make the trailer feel modern, clean and comfortable. Great A/C, comfortable bed and futon, everything we needed. We slept three in here comfortably. "
2500385,36832718,2015-07-01,25517037,Ting,"It is a very fancy Spartan. It has everything needed for a life, even a kitchen! The bathroom works pretty well too. I love it."
2500385,37199677,2015-07-05,34993868,Hannah,"The listing was exactly as described and it was a wonderful experience!! The location is pretty good, we didn't have a car so I wish it was a little closer to the city center. Other than that everything we needed was in the trailer and it was just a great easy experience. Thanks Jason!"
2500385,37742669,2015-07-10,6902710,Shana,"We loved staying here! Perfect for us two girls on a roadtrip! We stayed the whole week and not once did we feel overcrowded or smushed. The Spartan was clean and well maintained. Jason was great at making sure we knew how to use everything. We didn't see him at all, but there was no need as everything was explained. Bring your own soap - as there was none to use in the shower. Not a problem for us as we had some but just an FYI. We LOVED staying here. The bed and the futon were comfy and the Spartan stayed well cooled with the a/c. Bring bug spray if you're going to sit outside on summer nights!"
2500385,38044449,2015-07-12,17823809,Gilberto,Jason was great and the place is impeccable. Highly recommend staying here.
2500385,38409651,2015-07-15,34859893,Vivien,Great spartan. Super clean and super cute. We really enjoyed our stay 
2500385,38865058,2015-07-19,6487736,Alison,We loved the Spartan! It had everything we needed. Jason was very accommodating. Great neighborhood too! Would definitely stay here again. 
2500385,39350468,2015-07-22,31814823,Rick,"Our stay at the Spartan was awesome!  We were all over the city during our stay and easy, private access in & out of the property made it so convenient.  The space was very well done, comfortable, the AC worked fantastic and the deck and loungers were nice to catch some sun or late night stars.  We hope to spend more time in Austin in the future and will definitely see if the Spartan is available!"
2500385,39855657,2015-07-26,38787364,Brad,Fantastic experience. Everything was as advertised. Jason was clear with check in and check out instructions and made it super easy. The trailer is about a 10 minute uber to downtown. Definitely made the trip that much more memorable. 
2500385,40413409,2015-07-30,14849735,James,"Staying in the Spartan was a joy.  We had a disappointing experience with another AirBnb in Austin and changed last minute to the Spartan.  Jason had it ready really quick and it was exactly what we were looking for.  I was initially skeptical of staying in a vintage camper but it was great.
The place is small but is a perfect, intimate place for a couple.  It's really well-designed and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.  There's a small kitchen with a little stove, microwave, sink, and all the cooking utensils and pans you'd need.  The place is well-equipped with bedding, towels, and toiletries.  It's clean and tidy, which made it easy to move in and move out quickly.
The Spartan has a fenced-in yard so it feels private.  Once the heat died down, the porch was a great place to sit and have drinks.  There was also a parking spot for the place.
Location is good.  About five minutes drive to downtown or UT.  
Jason was a great host and, although he wasn't around, was really responsive and got things ready very quickly.  
I loved this place and really recommend it for any couple looking for an intimate, clean, comfortable place in Austin that is quite a bit cheaper than other options."
2500385,40742863,2015-08-02,1173438,Molly,Jason was proactive in calling before check-in with details on how to get settled in. The Spartan was absolutely adorable and the attention to the detail was much appreciated.  We actually rented his cabana as well and the trailer was used for the early birds. It worked out perfectly. 
2500385,41675753,2015-08-08,10720686,Amy,"Eastside Spartan looked exactly like the photos.  It was in a great location.  And even though the temperature was 110, it stayed cool inside!  Jason was a great host.  We could not lock a door and he came right over to fix it.  Would definitely stay again!  "
2500385,42337125,2015-08-12,7149811,Kayleigh,"Pictures do not do this place justice. It was amazing! Everything was so up to date and modern. It stayed nice and cool for the Texas heat, and was only a 5$ uber ride to down town Austin. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, but I wish there had been some coffee and creamer there. Bed and futon both extremely comfortable and Jason was always available for any questions. We had such a great time and would love to visit the Spartan again! "
2500385,44031213,2015-08-23,6905111,Jessie,The Spartan was a great place to stay. It had all of the necessary amenities and the A/C worked great for when we were home during parts of the very hot weekend. It was very eclectic and nicely decorated. I wish we could've taken advantage of the nice patio but it was just too hot for us outside! It is very centrally located which was really important for us because we didn't have a car. Almost anwhere we took an Uber/Lyft was less than $10. Definitely recommended! 
2500385,45281546,2015-09-01,38864678,Eric & Gina,"Jason was a great communicator and the property was as described. Getting access to the property was easy, we had everything we needed. We were a short drive from downtown where we found free parking and walked everywhere we wanted to go. "
2500385,45693866,2015-09-05,16501875,Remi,"Great little spot. Comfortable, cute, and good location. Safe, quiet, walkable neighborhood, 5-10 min drive to most of Austin's hot spots. Trailer design is adorable and has everything you need. It's very cozy so I think it'd be best for a single traveler or couple, the bathroom is quite small. Jason was very responsive and professional, I didn't have any problems!"
2500385,46155676,2015-09-08,39822375,Jillian,"We had a wonderful stay at the Spartan! Though small, the space was perfect for two and impeccably decorated. The communication and instructions about getting in and using the facilities were great. The neighborhood is nice as well- we chose to uber most of the time, but it also seemed walkable to several areas. Overall, loved staying in the Spartan and exploring Austin. "
2500385,46359397,2015-09-09,18930053,Ana,We had a wonderful evening at Jason's location. It was a very clean and organized space exactly as the pictures showed. Communication with Jason was quick and clear. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique experience! 
2500385,46548580,2015-09-11,5148739,Emily,"Nice place for a short weekend getaway. The Spartan was very clean and comfortable. The location was great (easy access to downtown and the neighborhood itself had several cute bars and coffee shops). Although the Spartan technically accommodates 4 people, I think anything over 2 people would be a bit crowded. I would definitely recommend this listing to others. "
2500385,48717350,2015-09-28,34671782,Megan,"We loved our stay at the Eastside Spartan! Two of us stayed there for 3  nights and it was very comfortable and we never felt cramped.  Very close to a lot of cool places on east 6th and easy to get just about anywhere.  The deck off of the Spartan is great for when its nice out, but if it's raining there's cable (which we were maybe a little too excited about). Overall, it was great, and we would definitely stay again!"
2500385,49617442,2015-10-05,16789420,Robbie,"Eastside Spartan is awesome! Great location - accessible to downtown and east side - make sure to use car2go, uber/lyft, and/or rent bikes though. Some places within walking distance (juiceland!!!) but not everything. Loved the patio and yard, great place to chill. Inside of trailer is fixed up really nice - felt like a boutique hotel."
2500385,50047205,2015-10-08,9888422,Jenny,The Spartan was great! The pictures are very accurate. Bed and futon were very comfortable and clean.  I was with my 78 years old father and he was able to get around with ease. I would definitely stay here again.
2500385,50320292,2015-10-11,43827557,Erika,"Host did a great job, made everything super convenient and easy for us. They also extra things like toiletries and kitchen accessories, which turned out to be super convenient. The bed and futon were both super comfy. We had 4 of us stay together here, and we had a blast. The atmosphere is cool, and everything looks futuristic. The deck was also awesome and it was a gated community that could lock, which made us feel safe. The area can be tricky to get to because it is an alley way, but it was not a big deal. It was easily accessible by the side road. We had an fun time staying here. "
2500385,51099568,2015-10-17,46585009,Christen,"The trailer looked just as the pictures indicated, and the vibe was even better. The neighborhood was safe and serene. Jason contacted me before I checked in, which helped everything go smoothly. No complaints here!"
2440391,51206269,2015-10-18,35967740,Melissa,"First of all, Nicole was super easy to get in touch with & responded right away to any questions/concerns, I may have had. Nicole made sure to go the extra distance to make our reservation work & was genuinely interested in our group getting the most out of our time in Austin, by sharing local knowledge. The home is EVERYTHING and MORE! Perfect location. . in an upcoming, hip neighborhood on the East Side . . very clean and well-stocked, with all the essentials. Check-In & Check-Out were also ""easy as pie,"" with flexible options. The outdoor seating area, with grill and lights, were just an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone staying in Austin!"
5253410,26582216,2015-02-15,9813197,Michael,"This place is such a great place to live. I stayed there for one day and I definitely loved it.

8646448,51862103,2015-10-24,7321125,Darcy,"Christina and Erik were great hosts, and the condo was very clean and as nice as described. The neighborhood was great and was conveniently located next to a CVS. Will definitely keep this on the list to visit again!"
8684602,51404813,2015-10-19,30054377,Aaron,Karen and her boyfriend were wonderful hosts. Their apartment is located in an awesome community and the room is very clean and incredibly comfortable.
960315,4253423,2013-04-22,5671537,Nicola,"This is the first time we have used Airbnb and the experience could not have been any better. Tony was very easygoing and we felt immediately welcomed into his home and had the opportunity to get to know our incredible host over the weekend. His home was very unique and comfortable and we hope that we get to come back to him again when we enter the Austin Tough Mudder race next year !!
Thanks Tony, we had an amazing weekend
"
960315,4457512,2013-05-06,1800677,Ted,"The house was as warm and welcoming as Tony, our host. The house was everything you could want in an Austin get away with a big group of friends. There were 11 of us in our group and we all fit perfectly. The beds were extremely comfortable and the place was very clean. Tony was a great host and always ready to answer questions and provide us with anything we needed. We will definitely look to stay here again the next time our group plans a weekend in Austin. Thanks again Tony!"
960315,4823973,2013-05-27,6528096,Joshua,The home stay was good and my children enjoyed the Wii game and movie availabe in the house.  Tony is very hospitable and easy to get along with.  He was quick to attend to our needs and questions.  The beds are comfy and nice.  The house has good facility.
960315,8813941,2013-11-19,2960194,Maria,"Tony was a great host and we felt welcomed in his house.  We enjoyed getting to know him and what he does for a living.  He is a talented artist, but above all, his hospitality exceeded our expectations.
Tony pointed us to great local places to eat and visit and on one of the mornings, he cooked a fantastic breakfast that included gluten free pancakes for my wife.
Thank you Tony for making our visit to Austin and the F1 race a great one!"
960315,11387095,2014-03-31,13489054,Amy,"Tony was a fantastic host! He answered promptly to a late request and was incredibly accommodating in every way. The house was clean and inviting, the beds were comfortable and he even left the coffee pot ready to brew in the morning.  I would also classify his home as quintessentially ""Austin"" and would highly recommend it if you're looking for a friendly neighborhood and a great experience!"
960315,11518119,2014-04-06,13275118,Ernesto,"First time using air b&b. Went to Austin for my buddies bachelor party. Tony was a great Host, he waited for us to take shots with him wen we got there to start off the weekend. He was able to accommodate 13 of us comfortably. Also enjoyed seeing his art collection, all of it painted by him, he's very talented. I will definitely stay again wen I'm back in Austin, and you should too."
960315,12835519,2014-05-12,14021308,Holly,"Tony was an outstanding host! We were all very impressed with his hospitality... And pet snake and tortoise!  He made us feel very welcome from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. This place is a great location, a cozy home and accommodating for big groups. I recommend this place to any group of young people looking to have some fun and going downtown austin! Can't wait to go back. Thanks again Tony! "
960315,14672859,2014-06-23,14472378,Amanda,"Tony was an excellent host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome! He was very flexible and easy to communicate with as we ended up needing a 10 person booking for our rugby team at the last minute and he made it happen. The house is very clean and covered with beautiful artwork that Tony does himself, an awesome backyard which includes BBQ, fire pit and a friendly giant tortoise who eats apples (:. The location is a very quick ride to downtown (the cab arrived within 5 minutes of us calling) and will run you about $19. Our team had a great time and would definitely recommend this listing to others traveling to Austin! "
960315,15717167,2014-07-14,17478745,Jason,"The listing is accurate, if not lacking a bit, in describing how awesome this place is. Our host went the extra mile to make sure we were properly welcomed and accommodated. I would recommend this stay to anyone traveling the area."
960315,16966845,2014-08-04,19064168,Vitor,"My only regret regarding our stay was it was too short. If I only knew how awesome was the property and our host Tony I will definitely stay more to have more time to enjoy the back yard amenities as well to enjoy a couple more nice chats with him
House was clean, towels and sheets available. Short ride to downtown
Tony did go out of his way to make our stay really pleasant. There was some refreshments available as soon as we arrived which was completely unexpected. He took his time to make us familiar with the property as well to guide us through what to do and see in the city
I really cannot wait for another opportunity to come back to Austin and spend some more time at Tony's place   "
960315,17026185,2014-08-05,14976535,Bryan,"Great experience! My wife and I packed a U-Haul truck and left Birmingham, AL at 5:30 a.m. and needed a place to stay with 2 dogs. We had a couple of set back on the trip, so it took us longer than expected, but Tony was their waiting just like he said. Right when I walked in the door he offered me a beer, which was perfect after a 16 hour trip. He showed us around the house, which includes his awesome studio and we hit the hay. I don't think I've slept that hard in a long time. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We had to leave early, so we didn't get any of Tony's inside info on Austin, but he said to hit him up anytime. Overall a great stay. "
960315,17405468,2014-08-11,19403996,Charley,Tony is an excellent host. He made sure that we had everything we needed and made great recommendations for places to visit. He really made us feel like s part of his extended family. His home is filled worth his artwork and was open to sharing that with us. We spent a lot of time in his backyard with his giant tortoise which was a total hit for everyone staying. 
960315,19640377,2014-09-15,1545447,Luke,"Thanks so much for the hospitality Tony! Tony was very accomadating and even provided food, drinks, and snacks for us. We had a crazy schedule with our group but Tony made it very easy for all of us to get in and out! Thanks so much once again Tony!"
960315,20367054,2014-09-28,15586676,Gisell,Tony was the BEST HOST EVER! He has such a serving heart and takes the extra time to make his guests feel at home. Our expectations were way beyond met at his beautiful home. We loved how understanding he is and flexible he was with our staying. 
960315,20527408,2014-09-30,20358552,Uyen,"We had a great time in Austin and our host Tony is a part of it. He is absolutely above and beyond our expectation. He cares about his guests and how they enjoy their trips. He made us feel so welcome even before we got to the house. A bottle of champagne, beers, and refreshments were set up when we arrived because he had knew we came to celebrate our anniversary. Breakfast items in the fridge we could use them as well. The house is cozy and clean. We love his back yard that we spent every night there to chill in stead of exploring the city! Thanks Tony for a great stay! We come back!"
960315,21199021,2014-10-13,6742563,Kelly,"Tony did an amazing job welcoming us to Austin made us feel so at home. The house is full of character and has a beautiful backyard with lovely foliage and gardens and small ponds that create a picturesque space to spend the morning or evenings. When we arrived, Tony gave us a very thorough tour of the house (which is stocked with everything you need including toiletries) and showed us awesome maps he had made of different Austin neighborhoods and places to go in each of them. The house itself is about 15-20 minutes driving from downtown Austin, in a more residential area with some food places near by. We were so comfortable in the house and thank tony so much for sharing his one with us!!"
960315,21595349,2014-10-20,20491647,Martin,"The house was awesome and Tony was an amazing host.  My party and I had a great time! Tony was an excellent host with several good recommendations for Austin.  He was friendly but also gave us our privacy, the perfect host.  The house had several of his artwork hanging and he is a great artist.  His home was perfect for what we needed and it was great meeting Shelly there.  There were several comfortable rooms and the backyard is definitely a huge highlight of this home.  The coy pond, fire pit, comfortable seating and several other great amenities made us wish we could stay longer.  I highly recommend staying with Tony and we look forward to our next stay with him."
960315,23322651,2014-11-29,9152329,Karteeka,"Tony welcomed us well. Tour of the house was very well provided, what to do what not to do.

960315,24630360,2014-12-31,16836835,Raghu,"We had a great time at Tony's place. The house was very clean and Tony made it very special for us with a christmas tree, some free drinks and an amazing backyard which can host a big group. 

What's more, he showed his studio and his awesome artwork. Thanks for a great experience Tony and hope to be back in Austin sometime soon!"
960315,25573785,2015-01-19,22945927,Stephen,"For my first ever Airbnb experience I couldn't have chosen a better host. Tony as a host was hands down the most helpful and informative experience I've ever had any bed and breakfast or hotel. Accommodations were clean, well stocked, and a visual splendor to behold. This booking is perfect for anybody with even an inkling of an artistic nature or has a fondness for very interesting people. 5 stars on accommodations. 5 stars on host.  and 5 stars on the assembled guide book tony has lovingly put together. I'm a thousand percent sure but I will return to this listing many times over. Provided availability of course, my only regret was that I did not make it to chicken s*** bingo. Outside of that with the aid of Tony we had the perfect austin adventure."
960315,26553675,2015-02-15,4743354,Christa & John,"We feel we really hit the jackpot with this rental. Tony was an ""above and beyond"" host. We rented this out for a party, and it was the perfect venue. The backyard is gorgeous at night. And we loved all of Tony's artwork around the house. Everything was clean and cozy. Would definitely recommend."
960315,27877393,2015-03-14,26918039,Peter,"Amazing place, very unique, very clean, and exactly what you should expect from a an amazing airbnb host. There's lots of room with well kept bedrooms and bathrooms. The place is located next to some killer fun spots. Perfect for a sxsw experience.

"
960315,28214979,2015-03-20,3971823,Lara,"Tony was a great host. The location and price for our stay during SXSW was perfect. Be warned - the house is quite eccentric and may not be for everyone. There is a lot of memorabilia, books, and even a tortoise in the backyard. There are 3 true bedrooms (with very comfortable beds), but then one bed is in a very small shed, which is not ideal, and another room is not done. There is plenty of room at least two people to sleep in the living room on the couch. Also, note that Tony spends a lot of time in the house and works long hours from his studio that is attached to the house, so there is not always the privacy you may desire."
960315,28427193,2015-03-23,27006309,Keith,"This house was a perfect find. Eight of us rented it for 2015.  Tony was the best host I've ever dealt with.  I still talk with him to this day.  His house is amazingly comfortable.  His art work is all over the house and it will keep you in awe.  There is plenty of room inside and the outside is breathtaking, from the two koi ponds, to the grille and sushi table next to the first gazebo, and the second gazebo with a fireplace in it.  Tony is the best host on Airbnb.  I plan to rent his house every time we have a show in Austin.  DO NOT PASS ON THIS HOUSE!"
960315,29838331,2015-04-13,23340365,Carlos,"Tony was not only a great host, but very accommodating and gave us some great suggestions about what to do in the city.

Gorgeous home, and great attention to detail.

Would recommend 10/10

And will be coming back!"
960315,30311143,2015-04-20,5744413,Bianca,The hospitality was amazing and the house was well kept.
960315,30661712,2015-04-26,9551767,Shyanie,Great host! Very friendly and made the check in process very easy. House is very spacious and comfortable. Communication was always fast and easy! Tony answered any and all questions! Highly recommend!!
960315,35121261,2015-06-15,2811458,Brandon,"Tony's place was great, and he is an incredible host. The backyard was beautiful, and i wish we had been able to spend more time there. Shelly the turtle is now instagram famous. The house will sleep 10 reasonably comfortably."
960315,38092527,2015-07-13,10731597,New,Tony was a great host and immediately made our group feel welcomed. The house was very cool and comfortably fit my party of 10. I'd recommend anyone to stay at the house!
960315,39200184,2015-07-21,8029794,John,"Tony's place was absolutely perfect for Freighbor reunion 2015. My friends and neighbors from Cambridge, MA try and gather every year for a long weekend and this time we met in Austin! Tony's estate (dubbed ""Little Tokyo"" for check-in spot) had everything we desired. It was an eclectic ensemble of personal artwork, comfortable living spaces, multiple bungalows in the backyard, a very friendly large turtle named Shelly, and a fantastic backyard grill/lounge space. Tony was most gracious, greeting us with food and beverages and there for any of our needs or requests (dining and activity suggestions, etc.). It was wonderful staying in a home that had years of character and care investment. If the Freighbors do Austin again, we're going back to Little Tokyo!!"
960315,47751714,2015-09-21,236377,Gordon,"Super-thoughtful & creative host, incredibly unique house & backyard that's great for groups, classic central-Austin vibe. Highly recommended!"
960315,48742192,2015-09-28,14979894,Sofia,"Tony is a very cool guy, friendly, but will give you all the provacy you need. The house is great for a group, the garden is amazing and perfect for a bbq / drinks before going out.
The house is very spacious, so even when travelling in a group you will not feel crammed. It's also a good location, an uber will take you downtown for 12-14 USD. SoCo will be around 8-9 USD with Uber."
960315,49759777,2015-10-06,2881247,Leah,"Upon arrival, the broken window frame leaning on the front of the house should have clued us in to the state of the rest of the property. As Tony was giving us the tour, I was in shock and all I could think was how much hotel rooms were going to cost us for same day bookings during ACL weekend. In the end we stayed but it was really hard. 

This house barely qualifies as 5-bedrooms. One bedroom was added to the back of house and is only accessible through the bathroom or from the backyard. Two of the ""bedrooms"" are actually glorified sheds in the backyard. Tony bragged he watched some YouTube videos to learn how to build and made the sheds himself. Neither ""room"" was sealed from the elements and had bugs galore including several 4"" cockroaches climbing up and down walls while we were trying to go to sleep. The listing says queen bed in every room but one of the sheds (he calls it a ""tea house"") had a futon. The tea house is about 5"" by 8"" inside and not even wide enough for the futon to lay completely open. 

The main part of the house is in decent shape but the bathroom is disgusting (like don't take your shoes off in the shower or you might catch something). New caulking in the tub would go a long way to making it not look so gross. The bathroom is overflowing with practically empty toiletries other guests left behind (the ad mentioned shampoo was provided but good luck finding more than a drop in any given bottle). The ad says ""sleeps 16"" but I'm not sure how. We were a group of 12 and barely fit. A normal sized adult could only sleep on one of the sofas in the living room (the other is more of a love seat). There were 3 air beds provided but one was covered in mold and another had a hole. 

Tony warned me a couple days before arrival he was adding a 2nd bath. Not that I could contest or we could find another place to stay at that point. This meant the back wall to one of the rooms was torn down (he later hung a blanket to hide it) and he and a plumber were working on it all day our first day. Super noisy and the water was shut off for most of the day. 12 people sharing a single bath was hard, especially when there was no water and no one could shower one of the days. 

It felt like Tony was lurking around the whole time we were there. His art studio is in the garage and he wanted praise for his paintings covering the house and was upset we weren't impressed.

The house would be ok for a bachelor party or college guys with low standards. I felt deceived by the listing and the photos."
960315,50611864,2015-10-13,1772330,Rita,Tony made us all feel very welcome right away.  Very accommodating and friendly.  Cool part of town. Awesome art all over the house.  would definitely recommend.
960315,51280008,2015-10-19,40876994,Tiffany,"Tony was an amazing host, and the place is beautiful!  Our entire party had a great stay, and we'll certainly book again on our next trip to Austin.  "

3946696,22333559,2014-11-03,12036540,Jessica,Patsy was an excellent host. The space was exactly as described and fit our need perfectly. She was very easy to communicate with and left us treats and bottled water to top it off! We would definitely stay again. 
3946696,22561187,2014-11-09,23256222,Catherine,Patricia's place was wonderful -- space was as described and was a great place to stay for a night in Austin. Patricia was very welcoming and was a great host.
3946696,22700812,2014-11-12,22131023,Lori,"Patsy's East Austin Guest House was perfect for our needs during a three day visit with our daughter, a UT student. The guest house and amenities were accurately described and a good value for the price. The house was stocked with fresh breakfast items and snacks upon our arrival. Fresh towels were offered daily. The house is in a quiet, classic Austin neighborhood conveniently located just off of Airport Blvd. and only 5 to 10 miutes from UT. Patsy is very personable. She texted us on Sunday morning suggesting we visit a local farmer's market, which we did and enjoyed. I would not hesitate to stay here again."
3946696,23296332,2014-11-28,3003823,Amalie,"Patricia's guest home was wonderful.  She was a welcoming host and made sure my mother was fully accommodated during her stay. The house was clean, had a cozy quaint feel, and she even left us delicious home baked cookies. I would definitely recommend her guest home to others on air bnb and plan to contact her again.

Thanks Patricia! "
3946696,24793996,2015-01-02,10035359,Jason,Patricia left us delicious pastries and was incredibly accommodating of our late arrival.  Everything was easy and the space is really cozy.  I would definitely stay here again.
3946696,25000546,2015-01-04,25477575,Susan,"Patricia's place was so cozy and private considering the close proximity to the main house. She was sweet to leave us snacks and breakfast, an the house was very clean. I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends. "
3946696,26809736,2015-02-19,223050,Justin,This was an awesome little spot for my friends to get a good nights sleep and recharge. Everything went really smoothly... Thanks for a great stay!!
3946696,26948129,2015-02-22,3687412,Raghu,"Great place, great location, & wonderful hosts!  I had an emergency come up and had to be in town a night earlier but Patricia was a lifesaver and able to let me book 2 nights.  If you're looking for a place that is easy to uber downtown this is it.  Also the place was better in person, very clean, and relaxing.  I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
3946696,27112035,2015-02-25,26028344,Maureen,What a lovely home and neighborhood.  This was my first experience with airbnb and I couldn't have been more pleased.  The welcoming snacks were truly appreciated.  I would recommend the East Austin Guest House to anyone looking to stay in Austin
3946696,27381363,2015-03-02,27130708,Andre,"Patricia was very accommodating as she allowed us to reserve a place same day when some of our plans fell through. Despite the short notice, the place was clean, welcoming and complete with snacks between Austin food pilgrimages. 

It was fairly cold in Austin but Patricia put the heater on for us in anticipation of arrival. 

Although it's not downtown, this place is sneakily well-located, right near the highway (though suburban quiet) and there are plenty of great restaurants, shops and neighborhoods north of the core. We found this location to be ideal for us. 

Would definitely recommend/stay again. "
3946696,28364352,2015-03-22,29333631,Machine,"Host was very sweet and friendly. She checked in on us to make sure all was going well with our stay. Place was very comfortable, homey, and private. A bit far from downtown Austin so plan accordingly if you have a sensitive schedule plan accordingly. "
3946696,28846119,2015-03-30,4519062,Lakhpreet,"The place was very nice! Modern, clean, and spacious. Much nicer than we anticipated. The area is very green and the neighborhood has a lot of trees. The location provides easy access to 1-35 and downtown is a short drive away. Patricia was kind and a great host. "
3946696,29137479,2015-04-04,5573568,Virginia,"We enjoyed our stay at the East Austin Guest house. The neighborhood is very central and quiet, and the guest house was clean and comfortable. Patricia left us treats in the fridge, including yogurt for my son and some beer for us."
3946696,29362916,2015-04-06,30386478,Alfredo,Patricia met me in the driveway. She was very sweet and very knowledgeable of the area and recommended several interesting places.  The guest house is gorgeous and separate from the main house for added privacy. It was spotless and had everything we needed plus more. She left us an information for the guest house and phone numbers for different businesses close to us. Also waiting for us wait a delicious plate of danishes. Patricia's guest house is perfect for a weekend get-a-way to Austin. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Total drive time from Patricia's guest house to Downtown Austin was about 13 minutes in moderate Austin traffic.
3946696,29940055,2015-04-14,26075423,Caitlin,"We had a wonderful stay! The house was perfect for my husband, baby and me.  Great location, nice and quiet neighborhood. There were really yummy treats waiting for us when we arrived. Patricia was extremely accommodating when our plans were changed last minute. I will definitely plan on staying here again the next time we visit Austin."
3946696,30244993,2015-04-19,30780167,Jennifer,"Patricia was an excellent and generous host and her accommodations are superb. The guest house is clean, full of every and any amenity you would need, and adorable to boot. The location is near all the hot spots in town and easy to find. It was kind of a shame that we only got to stay there one night. I'll definitely be staying here again upon my next visit to Austin. Thanks again, Patsy! "
3946696,30522682,2015-04-23,16496072,Misha,I reserved the East Austin Guest House for my cousin who came to visit Austin. She was very pleased with the place and had only positive things to say. I dropped in and it really is a lovely and very clean space. My cousin commented that she could easily stay long term there! The greenery outside of the kitchen window does give the sense that you are in a natural setting!
3946696,30926093,2015-04-29,20182466,Meghan,"Wonderful stay! Patricia was very accommodating, and welcomed us with delicious pastries! We had a great time and were happy to stay in such a nice neighborhood close to great coffee shops and restaurants. When we had trouble connecting to the internet, she responded to our text and came over to fix the issue right away. "

The host was very friendly and always accessible to address questions. The house itself was comfortable, clean, and well stocked with beverages, snacks, and everything else we could possibly need."
3946696,35875403,2015-06-22,7951672,James,"Patsy was great. I had a pretty rough trip through bad weather, didn't know the neighborhood so it was quite a relief when Patsy made me feel right at home. The neighborhood was a pleasant surprise, being on the east side of IH35 can be dicey but the area was more like Hyde Park, very nice."
3946696,37535335,2015-07-07,3165686,Mark,"Patricia is the perfect host and her home was excellent. Although we didn't get to meet, she was super helpful with directions, recommendations and even left food out for us (which was great after the long drive) - highly recommended"
3946696,40066738,2015-07-27,33608373,Lamar,This was an awesome place. Hospitality was amazing. I look forward to staying here again!
3946696,41051049,2015-08-03,40202262,Sean,"The little guest apartment was fantastic. Perfect for my weekend getaway. Patti was very nice and very accommodating. I booked the trip on the car ride down to Austin, and Patti sent me an email back 20 minutes later and had the room ready when we arrived. She was even kid enough to leave us with breakfast and OJ for the morning. Cannot thank her enough for her hospitality."
3946696,41910307,2015-08-09,40818036,Howard,"Patsy bailed us out at the last second. So private and spacious with beer and wine, pastries and even a frozen pizza in the freezer.  Very private and quite"

3946696,44083695,2015-08-23,4185776,Sunny,Patrica was great! She was able to accommodate my stay on very short notice. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. I would stay here again. 
3946696,46216279,2015-09-08,5573568,Virginia,"Patricia made us feel very welcome! There were treats, including breakfast, and two small toy cars for my son to play with. She met us as we were settling in and it was nice to put the face with the name. We have stayed here before, and found the hospitality to be great both times.

Two challenges with this place are the driveway, which requires better-than-expert driving to park and/or back out, and the AC, which is quite loud.

Other than that, we had no complaints, enjoyed the apartment, and loved the location."
3946696,48926873,2015-09-29,10349777,Anaí,"Perfect place for us in Austin! First, Patsy was very easy to communicate with. She answered all of our questions prior to booking and instantly made us feel welcomed. She accommodated our baby with a pack-n-play which was great. The location itself is very central and easy to get almost anywhere you want to go. The guest house is super clean and comfortable. She even left beverages and breakfast for us! Just all around an great experience with zero complaints. We will definitely be back. Thank you SO much Patsy for your wonderful hospitality. "
3946696,50440771,2015-10-12,22923118,Michael,"The guest house was exactly what I wanted. Great neighborhood, secluded, felt like we were out in the country. Very close to all areas we wanted. The bed and sleeper couches were great. The AC worked fine. Enjoyed the personal touches such as pastry, oj, milk, coffee, and wine and beer. I will be back. Never Met Pat but she texted me answers when I needed them. "
3946696,51382529,2015-10-19,37935174,Crystal,She was a wonderful host! Highly recommend it! She had refreshments and snacks on the table upon our arrival. Two thumbs up!
3946696,52977768,2015-11-03,19075521,Deborah (Debbi),Patsy responded quickly to any questions we had. She is a warm and welcoming host who demonstrates a genuine desire to make her guests comfortable. The space was exactly as pictured and the refrigerator was well stocked with basic necessities making us feel very welcome.  The guest house was immaculate and well stocked with extra towels and toiletries.

2853144,16728166,2014-08-01,2493730,Abhisek,"My stay with Carol was really wonderful, Carol has been very gracious, helpful, and maternal throughout my stay. My experience here was beyond my expectations, and I definitely look forward to staying with Carol again.  

Chalu has been very professional and pleasant as well. During my first few days, she helped me with a lot of important information about Austin and the surrounding areas. It has been a pleasure interacting with her!"
2853144,19444229,2014-09-12,1845598,D.K.,"Carol was an incredible host! She made myself and my daughters feel very welcome, was super nice and highly recommend anyone to stay at her lovely home. Also fell in love with her dog, Sade, who is just as sweet!"
2853144,21445828,2014-10-17,22348713,LaRhonda,"Chalu is the greatest host anyone could ask for. She has everything you need before you even get a chance to ask for it. Her space is nice & quiet and so is the neighborhood. Every time I come from Austin from now on, this is the only place I'll stay! And as an extra perk, Chalu is super funny and super easy to talk to!"
2853144,21813775,2014-10-24,22739574,Tim,Excellent!! Very helpful and responsive for my first time with AirBNB! Highly recommend and would refer.

2853144,39995725,2015-07-27,13677212,Yan,"Carol was a wonderful hostess, kind, warm, intelligent, thoughtful. The house was spotless, lovingly and tastefully decorated and, yes, my favorite spot is the patio with beautiful shrubs and lots of birds singing in the cool morning breeze of a Austin summer - temperatures are above 100 F during the day!  "
3440546,20026147,2014-09-22,20228763,Katie,"Erica provided plenty of communication prior to our stay so that the check-in and check-out processes were seamless. She also always responded very quickly to questions. The pictures and details of the apartment were very accurate. It was very nice and clean. The only issue was that many of the towels provided were still damp. The location of the apartment was great, right in the center of everything and in walking distance to a ton of restaurants and bars. Overall, great experience!"
3440546,22100437,2014-10-30,20663166,Shyam,"This was a very pleasant stay. Location was excellent - literally across the street from the convention center. The apartment was clean, with nice decor and well maintained. Erica was excellent and enquired about my stay and needs at the very beginning and throughout my stay. This was my first time using Airbnb and i am glad I chose this instead of stating at the Marriott or Hilton across the street. "

I wasn't there much, but had extended channels on TV, detergent for laundry, extra blankets/pillows, towels, etc. Great spot for an extended business trip or weekend in town."
3440546,27589151,2015-03-08,27168280,Marie,"Erica and the Turnkey team made my first Airbnb stay very easy and enjoyable. The whole team was very prompt and detailed in providing information for my stay and responding to questions. 

The home was clean, comfortable and looked identical to the images online. If you are looking for a place to stay while visiting Austin this a perfect spot. I was able to walk everywhere I needed, was able to see the city and enjoy the comforts of a home. 
"
3440546,28245987,2015-03-21,3633838,Bradley,"The overall experience was solid at this location. I was VERY happy with the location and logistics were great (access, etc)."
3440546,29841367,2015-04-13,19346791,Zack,Perfect stay. Loved the fact that they had coffee and creamer available for us. Neighborhood is fantastic and we couldn't ask for more.
3440546,30226616,2015-04-19,9390336,Steven,"Very unprofessional and dishonest experience. I will start by saying the apartment was clean and in a great location. The TurnKey representatives were friendly.  That's the good.

Now the bad. We arrived and had trouble finding the place. As the representatives are not the actual owners, they were unable to provide much help other than repeating the instructions. We get in to find the tv did not work. We tried for a long time, but were unable to fix the problem. We tried calling turnkey for the next day, and they finally answered the following evening. They say they will send someone already out checking on another apartment. After two hours waiting around, we call back. They tell us it is too late for someone to come, and it must be the cable service. We had internet, so it didn't make much sense. During this call, we also confirm a late checkout that we requested a month earlier. For our troubles, they guarantee the noon checkout and say they will probably be able to do a 2pm, but will confirm the next day.

I receive a phone call the next morning from turnkey requesting I try to troubleshoot the tv more (unsuccessfully). They then have timewarner call me to my surprise. After a 30 min conversation, we decide it is not the service, but turnkey's hdmi cable that is at fault (and no fix is offered). At this point, we have literally spent 3-4 hrs of our trip on handling annoying issues we should not have had to.

A few hours later, turnkey calls again. This time they tell us that not only are we not receiving the 2pm checkout, but they are no longer honoring the noon checkout they guaranteed.

I'm blown away by this whole experience. Turnkey bastardizes the airbnb experience, charges first class hotel prices, but provides none of the service of a hotel or a normal, courteous airbnb host.

Bottom line, great location, clean place, but understand what you're working with if you encounter any issues."

3440546,39847823,2015-07-26,7073474,John,Great condo near 6th Street and many restaurants.  Accommodations were nice and comfortable.  Access into the condo was more difficult than expected as entry into the parking area is only accessible with the remote opener which you have to pickup in the condo.  Also parking space number did not match what was provided by the owner. This required additional phone calls to determine the proper parking space. Hopefully this is resolved soon as the parking lot had been replaced/repainted recently.  
3440546,48205768,2015-09-24,38861071,Michael,"An excellent oasis in the heart of Austin.  Quiet, easily access, clean."

2394853,13601567,2014-06-01,9768392,Sandy,"Alicia & Marshall were wonderful hosts. They knew a lot about the area and were able to give great recommendations. My dog got along great with their dogs. The house has a lot of charm, and is a comfortable place to stay. I would definitely reccommend staying here."
2394853,16622366,2014-07-30,11195929,Tina,"Very quiet place, nice animals (even with my fear with the dogs), very pleaseant hosters, were helpful in any cases.
The house is close to highway so it's easy to go to the centre."
2394853,17696843,2014-08-16,12634663,Eliizabeth,Alicia and Marshall are great people and were excellent hosts.  Everything about the stay was wonderful.  
2394853,18779456,2014-08-31,20743507,Dave,Both people extremely nice! :D Would definitely stay again
2394853,19979581,2014-09-21,21289836,Ryan,"I spent a week here, and I had a great experience overall. The location was perfect as it was close enough to all the places around Austin I needed to get to. The room was plenty big and had a comfortable bed, closet and drawers for clothes. I would most definitely stay here again, and I would recommend anyone needing a place to stay in the Austin area to stay here."
2394853,20384354,2014-09-28,21289836,Ryan,"I had a great overall 2 week stay.  The place was big enough with all the amenities I needed, and the room was large enough with a closet, dresser and a real bed.  It was very affordable, and I would certainly stay here again!"
2394853,21091557,2014-10-11,2277257,Marty,"Alicia and Marshall were wonderful, wonderful hosts. They were around most every evening, and were always available via text to answer any questions I had. As a first-time AirBNBer, I was a little nervous as to how the experience would go, but they were great. The listing description was totally accurate, and they made me feel completely at home. (I also fell in love with their animals. They have two of the coolest dogs around.) The neighborhood was also fine; I always felt safe, and they live close to downtown, so getting around from their house was easy. I would recommend staying with them in a heartbeat. You’ll have a great experience."
2394853,22250215,2014-11-02,17120591,Robin,"Nice, clean room and bathroom in an older, well-established neighborhood with easy highway access. I arrived about an hour prior to my event in Austin and therefore didn't spend very much time there other than to make a quick clothing change before my event and sleep afterward. This space was exactly what I needed. Tip: If staying here, you should be comfortable and experienced with high-energy, large indoor dogs. "
2394853,22841179,2014-11-16,22504116,Topher,"Kind hosts, nice dogs and cats, comfortable bed, plenty of parking, good location, and good price. 

Overall, would recommend!"
2394853,26576569,2015-02-15,27609117,Rachael,"Our stay at Alicia and Marshall's place was pretty short, however it was a pleasant experience especially for a 1st time airbnb'er. We even got little goodies in our room which included macarons, Luna bars, and cookies made by the baker across the street. Alicia and Marshall were also good resources for things to do in Austin. Great stay overall!! And the dogs were pretty cool too :-) "
2394853,27932766,2015-03-15,17883205,Britton,"The house was conveniently located.  It was comfortable and the hosts were very welcoming, including their pets.  The room was clean and cozy with provided snacks and Austin guides.  It was a really charming home and we highly recommend a stay."
2394853,28040528,2015-03-16,2672510,Mae,"Beautiful, clean, quiet room. Gracious and helpful hosts. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Would definitely recommend. Thank you!"
2394853,28342901,2015-03-22,12061319,Mariah,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was great! Alisha and Marshall were really friendly, accommodating and quiet. The house is a little less than 15 mins from downtown and has a lot of great restaurants to explore less than 5 mins away. There was plenty of closet space and they provided snacks and some helpful city guides. Their pups are also a great surprise addition that make the place feel more like home!"
2394853,28842087,2015-03-30,2849306,Thomas,"They are a very pleasant couple and were very accommodating.
The room was really nice, and they very helpfully lent me their Bike to get around on.
If your travelling without a car, you should know that the bus can take an hour to reach downtown, but it does run quite (email hidden) that's your trade off.
Anyway it was a nice experience and I can recommend them.
Thanks Guys."
2394853,29146884,2015-04-04,297212,Meredith,"Sweet, little vintage house in a quiet neighborhood.  The hosts made it easy for me, responding quickly to messages and even leaving some allergy medications for the spring pollen in the air!  Bed was super comfy and location is convenient, easy access to IH 35.  It was delightful and hope I may book again when back in town."
2394853,30152978,2015-04-18,3089710,Stella-Chaiwon,"Alicia and Marshall were amazing hosts, and quite possibly the most patient hosts I've met on Airbnb. I got delayed so much in Dallas on the first day,  I arrived in the middle of the night, waking them up in the process. But they were still kind and welcoming. Over the period of a week I stayed with them, I had bizarre schedule, with the time difference back home, I was staying in every afternoon working, and waking up at wrong hours. They've never complained about me going about my business. 

Abby and Jenny were very loving and adorable. They were kind and so well behaved, I just fell in love with them.  Two gorgeous cats were quite but lovely and friendly as well. 

The room was exactly as in the photos, spacious, bright, and clean. I didn't use much of closet space, but it was massive and spotless. The bed was amazingly soft and comfortable, with clean sheets and pillow covers. The bathroom was also spacious and spotless, just like in the photos. I also loved cooking and working in their beautiful kitchen. All in all, I loved every moment of my stay at Alicia and Marshall's house. 

The location of the house is also the best. With I-35 just a couple of traffic lights away, I was able to get to places in downtown area very fast and easily, as well as to shopping areas little further up north. I had my hired car with me so I didn't take any public transportation but there was a bus stop on the main road, less than 5 min walk away. 

I absolutely recommend staying at this lovely place with them to anyone planning on visiting Austin. Spacious and clean room in a beautiful house with lovely pets and amazing hosts, what else do you need? 
"
2394853,31754300,2015-05-09,1282395,Michele,"The hosts were laid-back and so sweet. They even offered to keep our luggage for us on the day we were checking out, as we were doing the West Austin art tour that day. The room was extremely comfortable, especially the bed. My goodness - the bed. After 3 days of sleeping on a futon, sleeping on this bed felt like sleeping on a cloud! Abby and Jenny were the dogs and they were so sweet. I'd definitely stay in this room again!"
2394853,32937010,2015-05-23,3003107,Nicole And Oscar,"very nice house, my room very clean and the owners exelentes people. They have beautiful dogs."
2394853,42820798,2015-08-16,215918,Alexandra,"My time in Austin was fantastic. The hosts have a lovely home and made me feel welcome to the house. As I stayed for a longer time, they often invited me to join them going out and had great recommendations for restaurants in the area. The front room where I stayed is large and has lots of storage in the closet. The neighborhood was also very friendly and conveniently located near the freeway! I really enjoyed my time with the hosts and would highly recommend the home. "
2394853,46611753,2015-09-12,10677974,Jennie,"My husband and I were moving from the east coast to Austin and had an extended stay at their house for two weeks before we found a more permanent place to stay. It was challenging to find a host especially with us having two cats. We feel really lucky to have found Alicia and Marshall. They were great hosts. Very easy going and care free.  They accommodated us with all of our stuff (two car loads of things), invited our cats to play with their dogs and cats, and even offered to help us with our mailing address changes. They also graciously agreed to cut short our stay (our original stay was scheduled for longer) because we needed to leave early and that was of great help for our settling in with work and life in Austin. It was a pleasant experience that made our move worry free and we couldn't have asked for better hosts!"
2394853,46817939,2015-09-13,14731972,Sharon,"I didn't get to meet Alicia, but Marshall was great! Everything was ready for me upon arrival and he was hospitable and accessible, providing me quick responses and recommendations to my inquiries. The dogs are super cute and friendly, and the bed was comfortable. I got the rest I needed for the race I was running the following day. Would definitely stay again! "
2394853,49512947,2015-10-04,36573788,Lucian,"My first BNB experience could not be better. In spite of the mifortune they experienced losing one of their precious pets, whom I had the pleasure meeting and hanging out with briefly, they were like old friends, Warm, caring and very insightful providing info on the town. I loved their house, that turns out to be quite a jewel of clasic residential architecture in Austin. The most beautiful and friendly dogs on this planet will make anyone be a kid just looking at them. If Austin will be my destination in the future, they will be my hosts. Many thanks and hope to see you soon!"
2394853,51997875,2015-10-25,46804787,Kate,"Alicia and Marshall (and Abby and Jenny) were fantastic hosts! I was in Austin for the weekend with a friend, and we had such a great experience. We felt welcomed into the home immediately. Our room was clean and well kept, complete with magazines on what to do in Austin, snacks, and food vouchers/coupons for us to use. Alicia and Marshall did a great job of being present (offering amazing suggestions on where to go and what to eat in town) while still always giving us our own space and privacy. They shared coffee in the morning and even a delicious homemade peach blackberry cobbler. The dogs are so sweet and very well behaved. The location was excellent, nice and quiet neighborhood about 10-15 min from downtown...an easy and affordable ride with Lyft when we didn't want to drive. I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone! "
2394853,52719515,2015-11-01,1321530,Christoph,"The room was very comfortable, Alicia and Marshall are great hosts- so are the dogs. I would definitely rent the room again the hosts are helpful and have good hints on where to go. I can also recommend the waffles Marshall prepared! The house is easy to reach and I can recommend renting a car or taking an Uber/Lyft."
4754054,28362695,2015-03-22,27623727,Sean,"The house was very cozy and located close to both the 6th street area and Downtown Austin. I was in Austin for SXSW and this rental was perfect for us and comfortably accomodated 4. There is a Super Market less than 100 yards away,  This helped as i was able to conveniently stock up on groceries to sustain me for the stay. The kitchen was stocked with everything i needed to prepare meals easily. The house had plenty of clean linens and the bathroom and shower were in good condition and very clean. The record player was a great touch and the selection of Vinyl was impressive as well which set the vibe for a great sxsw experience. Sam & Kyra were both very friendly and helpfull and I would definately recommend this rental to anyone who was interested in traveling to the Austin area."
5648174,50280638,2015-10-11,1907977,Kennon,"Cynthia was an incredible host! Location was perfect for ACL, everything was extremely clean and instructions laid out clearly. She even bought bananas and bagels for us before we arrived. Overall, incredible stay. Thanks!!!"
1708833,50627363,2015-10-13,4412618,Brian,We stayed at Beau's place for ACL weekend and couldn't have been more happy. He was great pre-arrival in letting us know exactly what to expect and how to get to his apartment. Everything was exactly the way he described it. The location was perfect too. Only a few minutes ($7-15) Uber ride to Zilker Park and downtown Austin. There's also a Startbucks and Walgreens right next door incase you need to pick up any last minute items or grab coffee. We would definitely recommend his place if you are considering staying in Austin and want easy access to a lot of things. 
3439396,21510608,2014-10-19,8991045,Jenny,"Great house! Super modern, spacious, and clean! It is close to all the lovely eats on Congress so you don't have to drive. We will definitely be back!"

3439396,33786753,2015-06-01,19506065,Clara,Kate's house was very lovely and exactly what it looked like online. It was comfortable with lots of room in the bedrooms in addition to having an awesome living room area. It was exactly what our group needed and in a great location!

My group loved hanging out in the big, comfortable living room, and my boyfriend and I enjoyed the master bedroom/bathroom, which takes up an entire floor.  Would definitely stay there again!"
3439396,48519441,2015-09-27,6199353,Annie,Kate was great - very responsive to any questions I had and made sure to inform me of any updates with the house prior to arrival. She was very accommodating and the whole process was seamless. The house is beautiful and amazing - a group of friends and I came to Austin to attend a wedding and this was the perfect place to gather everyone. Working with Kate has been great and I highly recommend staying here while in Austin! 
3439396,50425072,2015-10-12,9505619,Lisa,"We stayed here for Austin City Limits with a group of 6 girls and it was the perfect spot. The house easily accommodated our group with room to spare. The location of the house couldn't be better. It's only a few minutes away from South Congress and tons of restaurants, bars and shops. Kate was also very responsive when I reached out to her. Great city and great place to stay!"
3439396,52038244,2015-10-26,31243464,Greg,"Nice property in South Congress area of Austin. Easy walk to restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.  The home was well appointed and made for an enjoyable vacation. We were in Austin for several days during a major rain storm and the hostess was thoughtful enough to leave an umbrella. Great location, great house and hostess in a great city. "
8517947,52015419,2015-10-25,31381458,Vasu,"The place was neat and clean and very well maintained. The amenities were as described or more. The hostess was very courteous and arranged for extra pillow and blanket without even requesting. The locality was very peaceful and yet close to the UT campus and hence very accessible. 
I wholeheartedly recommend the place and would love to stay there again."

I had issues with plane cancellations and delays and Angela made sure that I would have no issues getting in to the house. The Allure Magazine and chocolate in the room was a nice touch. :) The place was also spotless.

873074,4670822,2013-05-19,6396902,Loyda,"Very nice, cozy and charming apartment!  I rented the entire apartment for 3 travelers for 1 night.  It is very conveniently located less than a block from a major highway.  The apartment is as seen in the pictures, with maybe a change of bed linens.  Corley seems to have an eye for putting together a pretty amazing apartment with some very unique decor that most of us would overlook.  That talent gave the apartment it's uniqueness and charm!

My favorite part - her small, but very colorful balcony.  She has managed to maximize this space and give the illusion of having more room than actually exists.  Comfy chairs and bright colorful plants made it really nice to sit outside and relax.

Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting her, it did not present a problem as she managed to work with us in getting checked-in and checked-out.  She even left us welcoming chocolates.  We had a brief, but very good experience and would recommend to anyone."

873074,7910609,2013-10-07,9231906,Joyce,My friends and I had a lovely time in Austin. Corley was very friendly and her place is quite nice! I recommend it. 
873074,8064987,2013-10-14,9214890,Jeffrey,"Corley was great.  She was very prompt in responding to all my questions before I booked her place.  She was out of the town during my trip, but she was still nice enough to send me some great recommendations on some local hot spots in Austin while I was there.  Her roommate handled the check-in/check-out process and was very helpful and accommodating too.

The apartment is exactly how it is in the pictures.  Very cozy and charming.  Corley has a fridge and pantry full of great, organic food and offered to help ourselves to any of it.  Her apartment is very close to the Downtown area.  Think the drive wasn't even 10 min.

Had a great time in Austin and at ACL.  I would definitely consider booking Corley's apartment again and recommend it to others.

"

873074,8396456,2013-10-28,9586093,Darya,"I should say it was my first experience staying at a rent place instead of booking a hotel. Corley is an amazing host! Even the fact that she had no chance to check us in by herself, she made us felt really welcomed there. Everything was set up for us as she promised! Apartment is really sweet, very-very clean and cosy and looked exactly like on pictures. She not only left us lots of food ( we were coming really late, so had no chance to do any groceries), she also left us some suggestions about where to go and what to see, which we weren't be able to find without her. Moreover, she was very discreet about one particular issue, that made me think of her as a very sensitive and understanding person!
I highly recommend her as a host! "
873074,8664942,2013-11-11,7746242,Lori,"Very cute and trendy apartment.  We went to Austin for a girls weekend and Corley's place was perfect.

The location is near Mopac and convenient to downtown and a greenbelt.  I'm a foodie so the  WF goodies were a huge plus for me!  Thanks Corley!!! 
873074,10431725,2014-02-18,11734003,Dianna,"We came to Austin to visit our son. Corley's place was perfect for our stay,  The place was ideal for us. After traveling for a few days it was nice to have a ""home"" to come home to rather than a hotel room.  Are visit to Austin was perfect! Thanks Corley!"
873074,10542162,2014-02-24,8333718,Jennifer,"We had a delightful stay in Corley's lovely apartment! Check in and out was very smooth and the apartment is in a great location. Corley made sure we knew where everything was and gave us a great recommendation for brunch. The apartment is really cute with a fun, quirky style. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!"
873074,10842268,2014-03-10,11629657,Michael,Great communication and a great experience. Corley was an excellent host. I couldn't ask for more. She even left me snacks which made my SXSW trip much better.
873074,10977290,2014-03-16,11191532,Andrew,"Corley's place was very spacious.  We fit 10 people in her place and remained comfortable.  For the early birds, she has a covered balcony that faces East.  You can sit out there with some delicious (provided) tea with the Sun just shining.
There were numerous community amenities. There was a field to play soccer or football, basketball courts, a pool, and gym.   
As to the location of the place, within 30 minutes you could drive to Hamilton's Pool, downtown Austin, or Lady Bird Lake.  Two gas stations are within walking distance and a Target is just a 5 minute drive down the road. 
We only talked with Corley twice, once to check in and once to check out.  But she gave us some insider tips on how to best work the SXSW week in the month leading up to the stay.  She is an incredibly nice and sociable person. 
In summation, the stay was amazing and I would highly recommend it to anyone."
873074,11682506,2014-04-12,6544791,Kara,"Corley was the perfect hostess. What a great place to stay. The location was great, close to everything. The apartment was very cozy and felt like home. I will stay there again next year!"

We really enjoyed our stay. It was a bonus that she works for Wholefoods!! We would not hesitate to stay there again next year."
873074,12284663,2014-04-28,13069903,Amy,Great apartment! You can tell Corley does this all the time -she is so well organized. She left maps and Austin guides on her table for us and had recommendations for where we should go while in town. We comfortably fit 8 people in here and I would absolutely do it again.
873074,13641920,2014-06-01,2248607,Luke,A very cozy appartment.  The couch was ubber comfy.  We will definitely stay here again.   
873074,13958245,2014-06-09,4607948,Sandra,"Corley was extremely helpful, friendly, accommodating, and timely! When she was unavailable, her mother stepped right in and made us feel absolutely welcome.  The unit was exactly as it was portrayed on airbnb.  We had 6 of us share the unit and we were comfortable.  It felt like being ""at home"" while being on the road.  We loved hanging out in the living room! Her patio area is also very pretty with all the plants.  We'd certainly rent here again when in Austin.  Location was good and having a gas station right up at the corner made filling our tanks very easy for the return ride home.  Loved it!     "
873074,14291726,2014-06-16,3057951,Taryn,Corey was an amazing host for our weekend in Austin! She was helpful with everything we needed and the apartment is fully stocked with towels and a kitchen. I would recommend this location to any if my friends!

873074,14963488,2014-06-30,9093268,Orlando,"Let me first say that I only gave Corley 5 stars, because 10 wasn't available to select.  Corley was an amazing Host and even came to my rescue when I was stranded downtown, with vehicle problems.  As soon as I walked into the door, Corley instantly made me feel at home and insisted that I eat all of her food.  The apartment was in a nice and convenient area. It was away from town, although still within minutes from downtown.  Corley has the apartment fully stocked with anything you may need; from  extra toiletries, groceries and dry goods from Whole Foods, and fresh herbs on the patio.  Without a doubt, I will be staying with Corley again and hoping it will be soon."

She was available (had to wait on us because of shopping trip!) - and explained the home and amenities perfectly. Beds were super comfy! Great home - girls said it looked like a pinterest post! Outside balcony a treat late a night - with a great cup of coffee. Parking super easy - location off the beaten path. And the goodies from WFM were definitely a plus! And the personal treat from WFM was really appreciated. Highly recommend - all A+
873074,15378210,2014-07-07,3414843,Kevin,Corley's place was perfect for a party of 5. She was very responsive and was flexible with check in. She has great literature about Austin available as well. A cup of coffee in the morning was great on the balcony. Thanks Corley!
873074,16523256,2014-07-28,18640911,Santiago,Corley's place was just as described.  Our family of five was more than comfortable and truly enjoyed our stay.

Everything was clean and well ordered. She was also very prompt with communicating, and was willing to allow a larger group than originally planned to stay. She was also flexible with our arrival time. "
873074,19148118,2014-09-07,19224621,James,"This was our first time using airbnb, and everything went very well.

I stayed with my wife, brother, and parents in Corleys home when we were in town for a football game. 

She was very quick to respond and helpful every time we had questions.

 It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and there were helpful ideas posted in the apartment about things we could do in Austin.

A great place to stay in Austin! We would definitely stay here again."

873074,22545155,2014-11-09,9162467,Elizabeth,"I will never book a hotel again, Corley set the bar high for other hosts. Upon arrival in this pinterest-worthy apartment, my guests and I noted Corley's hospitality as she offered us any food in her fridge. 

We felt right at home and my favorite part of the vacation was being at this apartment as it felt as though I lived in Austin temporarily.

The apartment is clean, the beds are comfortable, and there are so many quirks that the apartment whimsically ""Austin"".

873074,24160066,2014-12-21,956555,Matthew,"Great stay, check in was super easy.
Cute place, looked just like Pinterest!"
873074,24414375,2014-12-28,23183418,Sarah,"Corley was a great host and communicated very well for the time leading up to the stay. She met us with the key and was welcoming. She was very easygoing about when we could leave. As described in the listing, she left us some goodies on the counter for breakfast so we got to enjoy them on our last morning before a long drive home. I think her directions about what to do with linens, towels, etc. was very straightforward. Overall, the stay was a wonderful 2-night stay and we were located very close to the wedding venue we needed to be at. Thank you for a great stay!"
873074,25522627,2015-01-18,6863094,Saoni,"Excellent stay at this apartment.

Very clean, unique design that was warm and comfortable.  Would like to stay again in the future, but would also like to check out other listing."
873074,26923633,2015-02-22,10194561,Sheena,Had a great time. The apartment was great and She was very helpful with everything from finding stuff we needed at the home as well as great recommendations on where to visit and eat! We enjoyed our stay!

873074,28799878,2015-03-30,13036649,Rany,"Corley is an amazing host.  Her responses are very timely and any questions I had, she had a ton of great feedback/information to give me. Her apartment is neatly decorated and it looks just like the pictures. She provides nearly everything that you may need if you forget anything and she made sure we knew that we were welcome to anything she had in the apartment.  Neighborhood was great - I didn't have any issues with neighbors or getting around.  It is away from the city a bit but it was really easy to get around.

I definitely felt at home in her apartment and I would totally recommend booking with Corley. She is awesome!"
873074,28999893,2015-04-02,25643103,Nery,"The description of apartment is accurate, Corley was extraordinary. Neighborhood was nice and peaceful. Just what we needed for our family trip. The beds were really comfortable, clean and neat apartment. We would love to stay again in this place. Located near gas station, close to downtown, shopping centers, perfect for a peaceful time with family."
873074,29862203,2015-04-13,23352372,Sally,"Corley was very cordial and accommodating! She was quick to respond to any questions we had, as well as offering suggestions for places to eat. The neighborhood is conveniently located, quiet, and close to everything. The bedrooms were very comfortable to sleep in and the bathrooms roomy. It's also a nice bonus that she offers the use of her Hulu and Netflix! "

873074,31182669,2015-05-03,28780125,Laura,"We had a great experience with Corley at her apartment! It was super clean, nice, and comfortable. She also kept it stocked with lots of goodies, was quick to text back with advice or suggestions, and was very flexible and accommodating with our check in and out times. The only negative was that there wasn't really anywhere to go nearby or walking distance so we spent a lot of time übering and had to really commit to going downtown, couldn't just pop out for a bite and then come get ready to go out- that kind of thing. However she was a great hostess with a wonderful apartment, I would absolutely stay at one of her properties again!"
873074,33074842,2015-05-25,23353958,Brady,I got this place for my parents and younger siblings when they came into town and they really enjoyed it. It's a nice quiet area and they loved the fact that the pantries were so well stocked for cooking. Corley was very accommodating with everything and easy to get ahold of. Thanks for everything Corley!
873074,33596517,2015-05-30,1308079,Imran,"We had an excellent experience staying at Corley's place. This was our second time staying there. The pictures are as described. The apartment has a cozy, comfortable feel. Corley left plenty of towels, bedding, dish ware, and even food in the pantry. She is readily available to answer any questions. It was also ready before our check in time. Would definitely stay here again. "
873074,33818548,2015-06-01,31945101,Kimmie,"Corley's place was perfect for me and my family! There were four of us and we were all very comfortable. One of my favorite things was the cute little patio outside the living room! All of the hot spots in Austin were a quick 10 minute drive away and the neighborhood felt very safe, quiet, and the neighbors we came across were very friendly. 

Corley left us some Uber cards, a print-out of locations with murals to check out in downtown, and some local Austin magazines that I loved going through.

Overall, the place was very clean and Corley was very responsive. She even let us stay a few hours later when we realized we had a later flight!

Just as a heads up, her place is located on the third floor of an apartment building with just stairs, so keep that in mind if you have a lot of suitcases ;)"
873074,35000832,2015-06-14,20607345,Whitney,Wonderful host and property! The listing looks just like the pictures and is conveniently located near several shops and restaurants! Corley responds within a few hours and was very helpful during our stay!

873074,36106522,2015-06-25,5658121,Josh,"We enjoyed our stay at this Austin Airbnb.  It was clean and quiet and the beds were extremely comfortable.  The kitchen was very well set up.  All the places we wanted see (Barton Springs and South Lamar) were pretty close.  Also, Corley was very helpful with suggestions on things to do."
873074,38073291,2015-07-12,2086097,Bryan,Corley is an amazing host! Her place was nice and cozy. We couldn't have asked for a better place. Thank you Corley
873074,39071698,2015-07-20,5192191,Ann,We had a lovely family vacation at Corley's place. Her suggestions of places to visit were fantastic... and all nearby. Good location and very responsive host!
873074,39507021,2015-07-24,35167555,Donavan,"Corley was a great host.  She allowed us to check in two hours prior to our scheduled time.  She also responded to all questions quickly.  Having free wifi, coffee, tea, and breakfast/snack items on hand was a bonus.  This place had all the amenities you would want when you are away from home.

The apartment complex was nice and the space was perfect for our family of four.  My teenagers enjoyed swimming in the complex pool (which was a short walk across the street by the main entrance).  The location was great since we spent a lot of time traveling to San Marcos and New Braunfels.   

Overall, this was a good first AirBnB experience."
873074,39876603,2015-07-26,39188754,David,Great apartment for our weekend in Austin! Corley made things easy and ensured we would be comfortable while we were there. 
873074,40456703,2015-07-31,6377812,Olivia,The home was great and well-stocked. Corley was welcoming and helpful via text. It was centrally located so we could venture out and explore but we also really enjoyed the smart tv with hulu and netflix while we were at home ;) We had a great trip! Thanks for everything!
873074,40987071,2015-08-03,2431715,Roni,"We had a lovely stay at this house. Corley, our host really rocks this host thing and made sure we have everything we needed. It was such a treat. I can't wait to go back! Location is great - 7 minutes from major downtown attractions, grocery store is around the corner and lots of yummy grubs are as well. 
Outstanding space with very comfortable beds. 
The house is soo beautiful and just as described. I highly recommend this  space. so worth it!"
873074,41824450,2015-08-09,37942885,Sam,"Loved the place unfortunately on our last night the a/c went out. It wasn't our host's fault, but you can imagine how our group of 5 felt in an 85 degree apartment after coming home from a wedding. "
873074,42805096,2015-08-15,40613778,Taylor,"Corley was very kind. Her listing and then follow-up correspondence right after booking was thorough and very helpful. I was grateful for that because it was a pretty hectic weekend to plan and the lodging part was made so easy. The place was very clean. It's a quiet apartment complex and the location right near a major freeway made it easy for us to know how to get into town and for a Lyft driver to come find us, etc.
Oh! And the master bed (I didn't ask my friends about the other bed) was SO comfortable."
873074,43077780,2015-08-17,2463029,Charlie,"Corley was an awesome host. Stayed at the Rockin' apt. It is comfortable and cozy as described. We requested an airbed, but was leaking air --- so Corley came by with a brand new one! Fantastic host. Only heads up is that the pool was dirty due to the lack of maint by the complex and neighbors, so couldn't enjoy it as much."
873074,43411678,2015-08-19,39832897,Luan,"The place made me feel like home! Cozy and warm was present in every room. A very great place to book if you like a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. Everything you would need is already supplied to you, and a plus being provided great organic products. Definitely would book the place when I come back for another vacation! "
873074,43702301,2015-08-21,39028045,Robert,"I stayed at this location during a short business trip to Austin. All in all, a great place for serving as a HUB to the activities around the city. The main living area is designed around the owners very apparent love of travel, and of the people she has come across. Looking around a the pictures and artifacts on the wall, you can tell has had some adventures.  
The apartment building is right at the entrance of the complex, so it's easy in, and easy out. I didn't see or hear neighbors during my stay, but there were three other doorways on the same landing. It was nice and quiet all three days of my trip. Corley provides plenty of cookware, and there are lots of miscellaneous cooking accessories to curtail the need for eating out.  With comfy beds, nice facilities, and the overall coziness, this was a pleasant stay,  and I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

"
873074,43971017,2015-08-23,37323168,Bethany,The apartment is ideally located with easy access to major roadways without being susceptible to noise. The size was perfect. 9 of us settled in comfortably and loved having two bathrooms to compensate for the group of our size. Corley was great to work with and did everything she could to make it easy for us to contact her and have what we needed to enjoy the city.  
873074,44793730,2015-08-29,576577,Jason,Had a great time!

Location was perfect for us. A short ride to downtown, good neighborhood. Walk in closet, large bathrooms, comfy bed. What more can u ask for :)"

873074,50429096,2015-10-12,2675855,Victoria,"What a great stay for an Austin Weekend! The apartment is very neat and the decor is very inviting, chic and cool--totally fits the Austin vibe. Very near Zilker Park (we visited for ACL) and access was super convenient and easy. Corley was very helpful and made sure we had all the info we needed. Would definitely stay again for our next Austin visit!"
873074,50962246,2015-10-16,44958672,Michele,The beds were very comfortable and the coffee provided was delicious!! 
873074,51651616,2015-10-22,8511676,Mayur,"Great location. Quite community, nice 2 bed 2 baths. Corley is really helpful. I couldn't get Netflix/Hulu going and Corley swung by and got it working. I like to take after dinner brisk walks and there are enough sidewalks to walk for a hour. This place is close to highways and 15 min to airport and 15 min to down town in traffic. The unit is on the 3rd floor which allowed me more physical activity. Corley is very prompt in communication and that's a big plus. "
5532511,28337189,2015-03-22,3646121,Tongsik,"Regina is a very responsive host.  The place is in a quiet and decent neighborhood in a central area.  This studio is very private and clean, exactly as described.  It’s fully furnished and has a fridge, kitchen, microwave, washer/dryer, A/C, WiFi, iron, essentials, and everything you need.  She doesn’t interfere at all with her guests so that they can feel relaxed and comfortable.  I highly recommend this place. "
5532511,29072633,2015-04-03,6536693,Stephanie,"The apartment was really really nice, what a cute place! Little house with garden, had everything you need, also facilities were perfect. Regina wrote us a nice welcome card, was always reachable for questions and really supportive. A place a definitely would recommend, only mosquitos were not so nice, but I think thats pretty normal in Austin in spring time ;)"
5532511,29641277,2015-04-10,1831883,Mahogany,"This property was not ideal for me, but may work well for others. The neighborhood is in transition and did not always feel safe, in my opinion. It is however, very close to a major shopping center; so you can easily purchase food and other items.

The space itself is very small and best suited for 1 guest... 2 maximum, who are willing to share the futon (which I did not find very comfortable, but others may). The original ad listed a TV as an amenity; however a TV is not present. The appliances and fixtures, however appear to be new.

If you really need a place to stay and want to save a few dollars, this property could work for you."
5532511,29786244,2015-04-12,18453666,Brian,Regina has a great place and is a very gracious host.  I had absolutely no issues and had a great trip to Austin.
5532511,30461972,2015-04-22,29961593,Jill,"Regina's cottage was really cute.  She kept the place very clean and provided basic amenities.  You will have Internet access, but no TV.  If you are looking for a simple and affordable place to stay I would recommend Regina's place.  It was in a quiet neighborhood within a short driving distance to Austin's hot-spots.  Our flight arrived after midnight and we were unable to pick up a rental car from the airport at that time.  However, there was an Avis/Budget location right in the shopping center behind the cottage.  So, we took a cab upon arrival which cost about $35 and walked over to the shopping center the next day to pick up our rental car.  There is also a grocery store in the shopping center.  Regina provided pans and a toaster so we were able to cook simple things like eggs and toast for breakfast.  All-in-all, we were very pleased with the place and would stay here again."
5532511,33537991,2015-05-29,29767433,Kathy,Regina was gracious and treated us very well. She gave us helpful hints regarding the local restaurants and places of interest.The place was accurately described and it is a nice neighborhood.
5532511,37228750,2015-07-05,1754282,Gene,"Regina's place was perfect and I definitely plan on staying here again next time I'm in Austin. The bungalow was exactly as described - clean, comfortable, private. Access was very easy and Regina was always fast to respond to questions. The location is perfect - quiet neighborhood, but close to all of the major points of interest.

As a side note, one of the reviewers below mentioned something about the neighborhood being ""up and coming."" This is nonsense. I lived in Austin for 5 years and can confirm that the neighborhood is super safe and has been this way for many years."
5532511,37790914,2015-07-10,9998482,Yeony,"The apartment itself was much smaller than I expected. A cozy size with a futon bed, a small bathroom with a shower booth. Basically this apartment had everything I need for temporary stay, but everything was in efficiency size. Floor had no carpet but partial rugs; it didn't bother me much but it was something different from what I expected from the photos. However, considering the price, I believe it was a good value staying here, close enough to the downtown and all central areas of Austin. It was completely private, I didn't even see the host at all while staying there for 5 nights!"
5532511,38188641,2015-07-13,27619803,Angie,"I really enjoyed my stay here at Regina's place. I didn't get to see her, but the check in and check out process was a breeze. She was very timely in responding to any questions we had. Plenty of street space for parking, and so close to the highway. The place was big enough for 2 people, although anymore would be crowded. I would definitely stay here again! "
5532511,39878725,2015-07-26,31556504,Elizabeth,Great experience! Regina was very helpful and on top of everything we needed. Clean place and a great location! We would for sure stay here again!!
5532511,41237962,2015-08-05,37784772,Karly,Regina was extremely helpful and never took longer than five minutes to respond to any messages I sent her with questions. The space is small but very cute and cozy. This was the perfect spot for my needs and really great for me staying by myself. I never felt uncomfortable about the neighborhood/house/unit! Great location. 
5532511,42726547,2015-08-15,38850122,Mark,"Studio was very clean, safe, quiet, and private. Washer and dryer made it possible to travel light & clean clothes. Central to Austin & easy to get around. Also right next to a grocery store and gym. Air conditioner worked great! Futon was comfortable to sleep on. No problem parking on the street. Very happy with my stay here!"
5532511,43437264,2015-08-19,27274252,Shawn,"Cozy as hell and very cute. For the price it really can't be beat. Including washer/dryer, working kitchen (though with so many great restaurants nearby I never got a chance to use it), and very accommodating hosts. It felt like a little private bungalow, just off of Hyde Park. I'll definitely be staying here again when I come back."
5532511,44028347,2015-08-23,41148593,Kirk,Regina was a great host! The studio was absolutely perfect! She provided amenities I was not expecting and had a wonderful stay. Thanks Regina 
5532511,46837172,2015-09-13,18154983,Sheila,This house is great! Great location and very clean. 
5532511,47770430,2015-09-21,15565277,Dorthy,"Staying at Regina's studio in Hyde Park was great.  The unit was clean and had exactly what I needed for my short trip in Austin. I had a few questions for Regina while there and she would always respond within minutes!! The only minor complaint that I had,  was uber and lyft always had a hard time finding me and would up end up in the shopping mall behind the houses. Granted this isn't Regina's fault,  just a heads up to those that might be running on a schedule to request a ride a few minutes ahead of time. Safe, cute and a great host."
5532511,48619882,2015-09-27,16133465,Holley,"This is a super cute listing in Austin. It's very convenient to the university, shopping and restaurants. It's a great location. "
5532511,49602202,2015-10-05,8690177,Larayne,"Regina had a flexible check in time, which was nice because we didn't arrive til late that night. It's a secluded studio in the back so we had our own place essentially. "
5532511,50910382,2015-10-15,19307931,Brian,"Everything was exactly as described, and it was jsut what I needed. Regina was polite, timely, professional. Will be staying with her again in the future. "
5532511,51159810,2015-10-18,34916486,Jocelyn,"Reginas place was the perfect spot for a one day stay for two people. Two exits away from 6st street if you get on i35 . But we just took an uber that charged us around $7.  Everything was close by for food, you have I. And out burger , torchys tacos. And other convenient places . And Regina was a great host she will reply quickly to my messages or any questions .We will defiantly stay here again! "
5532511,51902794,2015-10-25,15620964,Allie,"regina's place was perfect for our stay! everything you would need was available! i'd love to stay here again. 
she was also super sweet about us checking in as we had a ton of trouble with traffic getting to austin. 

also the neighborhood was super cute!"
7574368,42203459,2015-08-11,36467303,Russ,"Mario's location is just great. Easy to get around and close to everything that you will need to do in Austin. The apartment is very big and I had everything I needed for my stay. Mario was in contact with me to see if I needed anything else, but everything went just perfect. I would stay there again in a heartbeat!

4356121,22268381,2014-11-02,22813658,Camila,"We were a group of 10 people and stayed at the house for the weekend. The house was just like in the pictures; really nice, clean, organized and very well kept. Kyle was a great host.

The neighborhood was centrally located in a cool part of town, making it easy to get around and back home.  A perfect getaway spot in a town that's easy to get around in."

4356121,30070663,2015-04-17,26208263,Patty,Both hosts were here when we arrived.  They were gracious enough to allow us to check in a bit early which was very much appreciated.  This location is great to access downtown Austin as well as surrounding areas.  George gave us great restaurant recommendations.  Our accommodations were clean and comfortable.  Having off street parking was a plus.  
4356121,31934659,2015-05-12,881460,Ruben,The house was very clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood nice and quite.  Great for walks in the morning with coffee in hand.  Very close to many places to eat.

4356121,36370767,2015-06-28,12330946,Megan,"Beautiful home that looks even better than the photos. My large group was very comfortable and we all noted how much we enjoyed the space. The beds were all high quality and we slept very well. The neighborhood is cute and Austin-trendy, nearby to several fantastic restaurants and bars that we walked to though we still felt like we were in a ""get away"" house when we were home. The hosts were readily available for questions - I called them twice and they answered immediately to help. Would highly recommend this great listing!"
4356121,43924880,2015-08-23,9351006,Katie,"We had 10 people fly in for a wedding and all stayed at this house. It was a beautiful place that worked perfect for us. The pictures are accurate, the house was very clean, and it had everything we needed. Kyle and George replied so quickly and were so helpful.

2698653,20316040,2014-09-27,4255643,Seth,"Lisa's place was perfect for us. Desirable neighborhood, a short bike ride away from South Congress. Having 2 bikes, a SUP, kayak, pull up bar, sit-up bench and corn hole made for a great stay! Two bedrooms at that cost in Austin is also super competitive. We would definitely come back."

Daniel made sure we had all the information we needed about the property and about what to do in Austin before the trip. The house was incredibly clean, spacious and comfortable. We had plenty of room to eat together between the dining room and downstairs living room. We enjoyed a Girls Night In playing games in the carpeted living room upstairs. All 12 girls had a place to sleep between the beds, couches and air mattresses. I would definitely recommend this property to others!"

5309717,32036135,2015-05-12,32916199,Jennifer,Perfect location on the corner of S. Lamar and 45th street. Walk to everything. Multiple courtyards and 2 pools made it the perfect spot to hang out with friends and stretch your legs. The exact reason we do not like to stay in hotels.. especially with kids is there is nothing to do other than sleep when you go back to the hotel room. Not the case here. Beds were super cozy and maid was friendly. Caroline responded to our request in about 5 minutes and any questions in the same timely manner throughout our stay. Cannot say enough about our stay in Austin!!! We will be back!
5309717,32617709,2015-05-19,31353006,Rebecca,"Caroline was so helpful every step of the way. I was hosting a business group flying in from all over and Caroline made our event a success! My guests loved the charming rooms and each announced that those were the comfiest beds we have ever slept in. The suites are marvelous. We got a little lost once or twice and had late-night key confusion, but overall things turned spectacularly. Thanks Caroline!"

They accommodated our early arrival so that we could drop our bags and head out to the awesome pool.  We rented 5 units for my bachelor party and it couldn't have worked out better.  Great spot and a short ride downtown.  Very comfortable beds and cool vibe.  We all really enjoyed The Parker and I would recommend to anyone that is visiting Austin.  Much better than a hotel if you have multiple people in your group.  "

Mary and her husband Brad were fantastic hosts, who went above and beyond any of our expectations. The house is adorable, clean and well decorated with a great room and very conferrable bed. The private bath was spacious and just as clean as the rest of the house with a lovely shower. Sake the dog was friendly and well behaved! The location was perfect for us with easy access to the fantastic food, the metro and car2go. Uber rides were very reasonable to and from their house as well. Definitely a 5 star experience! Thanks again Mary and Brad, you guys rock and enhanced our experience for sure! "

The moment we walked in, their dog, Sake, made us feel very welcome! The room was clean and had all of the necessities; Mary had left a basket of various items for us (including bug spray, sunscreen, sunglasses, and even dry shampoo!) which came in handy during our stay in Austin. The house was in a convenient location close to downtown, which was a plug. Overall, we had a great experience - Mary and Brad were very friendly. Thanks again for your great hospitality! "
978384,18328633,2014-08-25,1385721,Britton,"Hands down the best AirBnB experience I've had so far. Carlos and Kelly coordinated all of the details and needs before we arrived. The house was spotless with detailed instructions and brand new toiletries.  Checked in along the way to make sure we were all good. Great experience, would recommend to anyone."
978384,28071575,2015-03-17,22733659,Valentina,"This house is PHENOMENAL. And Carlos and Kelly were tremendous hosts! They left us great info about nearby restaurants and interesting places, and they were incredibly easy to work with -- super quick answering questions, friendly, helpful -- just really good peeps! The house is so gorgeous, but also comfy, but totally luxurious - we were all incredibly sad that we don't actually live there. Getting around town was incredibly easy using Lyft, we got groceries delivered in a flash from Instacart, it was all just a wonderful experience!"
4188809,21172255,2014-10-12,9281116,Skyler,"Had a fantastic time at Deidre's! The decor and vibe of the place is phenomenal. We were in Austin for ACL, and the place comfortably fit 7 of us on beds/cots. It was a 20 minute walk to ACL/Zilker and a short drive to the downtown bars. Locating the place and checking in went smoothly. I'd love to stay here again next time I'm in Austin."

4188809,25513008,2015-01-18,25550202,Laura,"I greatly appreciated the communication I had with Diedre and her roommate in preparation for my group staying for one night. They both answered any questions I had regarding check-in time and process, amenities provided, parking availability, & even adding a few more guests. My group and I loved that we could check in around mid-morning before an event in the early afternoon, and a convenient time to check out the next day. The apartment layout worked perfectly for us, especially with the extra cots, blankets, and fold-out chairs all provided by Diedre and her roommate. The loft had a great view of downtown and made it so fitting for my group to hang out on the deck. This was definitely a great place to stay and I'm glad I booked this apartment. "

4188809,26913510,2015-02-22,25502386,Sally,Deidre's loft was AMAZING! we had a group of 9 that were all able to sleep confortably. The loft is super cute and has a great patio to enjoy! 
4188809,27257334,2015-03-01,18157322,Brittany,"Deidre was super accomodating to our almost last minute change of plans due to the snow that hit Dallas right as we were to be leaving for Austin. We considered cancelling - to which they were going to break their traditional cancellation rule for us so that we could reschedule. Fortunately, we were able to make it out of Dallas and to Austin! The place looks just as it does in the pictures & is super cute. I was lucky enough to sleep on the most fantastic, comfy bed all weekend - but the other 8 girls did complain theirs weren't the greatest sleep. Only 1 shower, but we knew this going into it. Would stay here again for sure! :)"
4188809,27575757,2015-03-08,21222289,Adriana,It was a great place for my sisters bachelorette party. Fun energetic vibe. The host was very helpful and cute leaving notes around to help us out. Just a simple taxi/über ride away. 
4188809,28067672,2015-03-17,9909494,Alan,"Deirdre was great all throughout the process! Zero problems with logistics of finding the place. The unit was PERFECT, and was a fantastic home base for all the SX craziness. It's nice to be out of the downtown insanity. The place itself is was cozy and clean, and plenty of room for the 4 of us. This place will be high on my list next time I visit for sure. "
4188809,28630878,2015-03-27,12305261,Katy,"This place was amazing! Perfect calming space, our bachelorette party went off without one tiny hiccup. Home was clean and tidy. Beds all very comfortable. But best of all the great patio that captures all of the morning light! Deidre was so great in communicating with us and making us feel welcome. Stay here and you will love it! "
4188809,28698958,2015-03-29,9419137,Katie,"Deidre and Michelle's apartment was so gorgeous and welcoming—it was the perfect spot to host my friend's bachelorette party. Even though we were only there for one night, I would absolutely stay there again! "
4188809,29738405,2015-04-12,12682263,Liz,"This apartment was perfect for my stay in Austin. I had 5 other girls with me and there was plenty of room for all of us. The view from the balcony is amazing!!! I would absolutely love to stay here again, Deidre was a great host!"
4188809,30209964,2015-04-19,2892403,Merritt,"Deidre's place was great! She was relaxed but responsive, and super helpful.  The decor is fun and funky, so you really feel like you'r ein Austin! The apartment is definitely tight with 10 people, but it was nice to have everyone in our group together and there are so many good parks and food trucks with picnic tables, we found other places to spread out and spend time. All in all, excellent experience. "
4188809,32352145,2015-05-17,2608588,Monica,"Deidre is a lovely host and extremely accommodating! We had my bachelorette here and we comfortably slept 9 girls-  1.5 baths was not an issue for us. The apartment is so comfortably decorated and there is plenty of space to lounge, especially with the amazing porch. Unfortunately we caught a bad weather weekend in Austin, but Deidre was amazingly flexible with departure time due to flight delays, and even offered suggestions for indoor brunch spots. Would definitely recommend and come back. "
4188809,33074858,2015-05-25,27359588,Jennifer,"Deidre made us feel so welcome and the apartment was perfect for the group of us (7 girls).  The first to arrive overlapped with Deidre and she talked about how friendly she was and shared all the great recommendations around the city Deidre gave us.  She was always really responsive to our questions before and during our stay - great host!  

The apartment was a perfect space for us, slept all of us comfortably, and there were more than enough towels for all of us (which is great, because 7 girls can through a lot).  We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in Austin!  Thanks Deidre!"
4188809,38111005,2015-07-13,16433770,Brittney,"This apartment is magical, stay here if you get the chance! Deirdre was so helpful and everything was seamless. Thank you! "
4188809,38837281,2015-07-19,31977111,Blake,"Deidre was extremely helpful and couldn't have been nicer. Made staying here very easy and we had an absolute blast being in Austin. 

"
4188809,42848283,2015-08-16,34785063,Tori,"We rented Deidre's place for a girls weekend am andd it could not have been more perfect!! The place was so adorable, clean and in the perfect location. Deidre was very accessible and friendly and a perfect host. Deidre thank you so much for everything!!!!"
4188809,43678592,2015-08-21,8128692,Jt,"The loft was the perfect place for our group of 7. Deidre was so accommodating, the location was perfect and we absolutely loved the apartment. Thanks so much for making our trip to Austin so seamless Deidre!!"
4188809,45909042,2015-09-06,7291810,Katie,"We had such an amazing time staying at This apartment. It was just as described, and there was plenty of room for our big party. The one shower was not an issue, and there were plenty of towels! Great location, and the decor is to die for. Would absolutely recommend! Deidre also called before we got there to make sure everything was okay, and made sure we knew to call if we were unsure of anything. Thanks for a wonderful weekend! "
4188809,48526852,2015-09-27,39849688,Tania,"I loved everything about this place! The way Deidre has her place decorated is so cool. Best part of it is so close to downtown. No point in driving anywhere. We were also close to these food trucks, the food was so good! you can definitely walk anywhere since its so close and just enjoy the city:) Deidre also left us a note with all these places she recommended us to go, which helped out BIG TIME since we never been to Austin and didn't know where to go and were there just one day. I went with 9 group of girls and we all were able to fit as well! 

"
4188809,49586137,2015-10-05,31654596,Leigh,Diedre was AWESOME! She made us feel right at home immediately and gave us a list of things to do around Austin. It was nice getting a local's view and not having to Google/Yelp places. We stayed for Austin City Limits and the location couldn't have been better! About a 20 minute walk with tons of restaurants and bars along the way. The apartment is right next to the bridge too if you want to Uber across and go out at night. The apartment itself was amazing and had everything we needed. Will DEFINITELY be reserving this place again next time I come!
4188809,50263671,2015-10-11,25945224,Amanda,Deidre's place is in a prime location of Austin. We really enjoyed being able to walk EVERYWHERE!!! The apartment is decorated so adorably; we felt like we were walking into a place right out of the 70's! We stayed here for my bachelorette party during ACL festival weekend. It was a total of 9 girls that stayed. We all slept comfortably & did not have an issue with only having one shower. The best thing about Deidre's place is the balcony because it provides a lot of extra living space. Thank you for being so accommodating & for your kind hospitality Deidre! 
4188809,51123401,2015-10-18,21192256,Kyle,Deidre's place was just as listed! Very homey apartment in a great location of Austin. No complaints at all - definitely recommend staying here!
4188809,51995592,2015-10-25,47269737,Kate,The host canceled this reservation 28 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4151271,22191094,2014-11-01,20170009,Carola,"Casita is a very nice hidden gem, hosted by two great and helpful people (Judi & John). 

I've stayed there for a month (my first in Austin) and it was perfect: the house itself is new, clean, fully furnished (the bed is very comfortable, and everything else is convenient: kitchen with everything you need & a bathroom with W/D and a nice walk-in shower). When I arrived, Judi provided me with a bike to help me explore the city, it was perfect. She's been very helpful throughout my stay and provided with complimentary items, as needed.

Surrounding the casita, you have a very nice well-kept garden, with a cute scarecrow that welcomes you. The neighborhood is quiet, and casita is walking distance to grocery stores, restaurants, coffe shops, ice cream! Close to downtown, either by bike, your own car, a taxi or Car2Go.

I would definitely rent this house again."
4151271,22603407,2014-11-10,8845904,Andrea,The house was very cute and well appointed. The garden is lovely. The street is quiet but tucked off an intersection with lots of amenities. Would book again.
4151271,23905138,2014-12-14,3868674,Rachelq,So fabulous! Adorable! Judi was truly kind and Casita George was comfortable and so cute!
4151271,51021119,2015-10-17,137807,Jessica,"Rented Judi's backyard cottage for my family. Was absolutely adorable. Probably one of the cutest, well- maintained Airbnb rentals I've ever seen. Judi was wonderful and liked by my family. Highly recommend. The picture do not give this space justice."
2458182,14329574,2014-06-16,16690289,Jeffrey,While I didn't meet Maria she was very quick with her responses and a great all-around host.  The location and amenities were perfect for my relaxed weekend.  I definitely recommend anyone else looking to stay in Austin to check her out.
2458182,20938179,2014-10-07,7849566,Rodrigo,"Maria is a great host. She welcomed me into her home and was very accommodating. I was in for the ACL festival and she was helpful with tips on how to manage the city during my stay. If/when I come back to Austin, she will be the first place I look to stay at. You won't do wrong by staying at her place."
2458182,21406860,2014-10-16,11431389,Dominica,"Maria was extremely flexible with my arrival time and everything else during my stay.  I ended up staying shorter than originally planned, and Maria was very kind and gracious with working out the details of modifying my reservation.  She and her boyfriend were very friendly and welcoming.  I would not hesitate to recommend her as a host!"
2458182,21646282,2014-10-20,828667,Mercedes,"Maria and her partner were really friendly and she helped me a lot with the driving directions to get to her place.
The place was in perfect condition and really close to the place I had to go in Austin. She has a very friendly dog living in the house, but it was like this dog was invisible, as you could not notice his presence!
I would recommend Maria's place to someone willing to visit Austin!"
2458182,22361027,2014-11-04,19589391,Tiet,"Maria and Jordan were awsome hosts.  Nice neighborhood,  decent accommodations.  Maria and Jordan were really nice and gave good recommendations. Maria even provided a lift if it wasn't really out of the way. Would recommend them to pretty much anyone looking for a mellow place to crash. Would not recommend to people looking for a party house."
2458182,22672011,2014-11-11,16306954,Michael,"Very pleasant, and respected space. Tried to make it as comfortable as possible. "
2458182,28133947,2015-03-18,7733616,Stephen,"Maria & Jordan were very kind, welcoming, and easy to get along with! They were gracious and conscientious hosts. On an interpersonal basis, it was no problem to be in a shared apartment with them. We are grateful for their hospitality.

But, for the sake of candor, we think it important to note some of our disappointments as well, so that others may have some info that we did not. First, the apt place smelled pretty bad. Maria was kind & apologetic, saying that their dog was unusually smelly. And their dog, Chuck, was a sweet dog, but did bark incessantly at times, seemingly at no one, once for a 20 minute span, and our letting him out in the yard didn't help. We love dogs, and Chuck was well behaved otherwise, but Chuck's presence in the space was only disclosed after we had already payed. For us, it was fine, but I know some people may have different relationships/allergies/fears of large dogs, so it seems like that should be disclosed on the listing. 

The location of the apt is convenient to downtown, and we felt safe in the neighborhood even at very late night hours coming home from concerts. But, it really is a cab/uber/bus/bike ride to downtown, its not really walkable for an average walker, due to distance & hill.

The apt itself is fairly small and kept tidy, but the bedroom in which we stayed was cramped. With its queen bed (fine comfort, but not great), and a large travel bag on the floor, there was little space to stand / change for a couple. The bathroom was okay, but not extremely clean, and if you ran the shower at full water force, the tub would not drain fast enough, leaving you standing in inches of water for your shower. 

All that said, the apt was very affordably priced, especially during the crazy week that is SXSW. So for the cost, it was a fair value. 

Highlights: Maria & Jordan were extremely kind, gracious hosts; affordable price & convenient location! Lowlights: smell, dog barking, room tiny-ness & less-than-awesome bathroom cleanliness. 

Candidly, we would not stay there again, but we do wish Maria, Jordan & Chuck all the best, as they were kind & gracious! "
2458182,28378806,2015-03-23,357653,Kirsten,"We had a great at experience at Maria's place. She was extremely helpful and communicated with me well before the trip. The house was clean and suited our needs for the weekend as we came and went. She met us on arrival, but unfortunately we didn't get to spend time with her and Chuck, the dog. 
The location near South Congress put us right where we wanted to be for near the fun. Overall it was a perfect trip, thank you."
2458182,43205335,2015-08-17,13671825,Joyce,"Maria and Jordan were awesome hosts - very friendly, kind and helpful. Maria was quick to respond to my last-minute request and messages, and was very communicative and clear about what to expect from the stay. Overall, the space was clean, comfy, and in a great area. Their pup, Chuck, is also super chill and sweet. Highly recommend this spot for anyone visiting Austin. 

Thanks, Maria and Jordan!"
2458182,50581619,2015-10-12,45923111,Lydia,The room is very cozy and definitely enough for just one person. Maria was very hospitable and made my short stay even better with recommendations on where to eat and what I could do while in town. I enjoyed staying with her and she made sure I had everything I needed! The neighborhood was nice and I felt safe walking around. I would definitely stay here again. 
8427091,50992498,2015-10-16,34356207,Darshan,"Would definitely recommend anyone looking for a downtown location! Everything was exactly as described.  Raul was a great host, courteous and friendly. "
8427091,51641311,2015-10-22,31589790,Frank,"Location was exactly as described. Communication was excellent, and the hosts were courteous and friendly. Would recommend for anyone looking for a downtown location, or attending an event at the Austin Convention Center.  "

She was incredibly responsive, came to personally greet us on the day of our arrival and was beyond pleasant, gracious and accommodating. The home was exactly as described though pictures do not do it justice. We could not have asked for a better stay in Austin for the week. Thank you so much Caroline and we look forward to renting with you again! - Team Delta "
3543027,25998504,2015-02-01,16091872,Mackenzie,Caroline was the BEST! She was easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. The house was the perfect spot for a fun girls weekend. I would definitely recommend it to others. Location was great and backyard is beautiful! 
3543027,26259649,2015-02-08,26068426,Jennifer,"Caroline was amazing! The house was clean and beautiful. The rooms were spacious and cozy. The decor throughout the house was hip and super cool! We stayed in contact all weekend long, she help me find restaurants, grocery stores and any random questions during our stay. 20 minutes to the airport ($28 uber) and close to downtown. A beautiful neighborhood and if you have kids is across from a park! Highly recommend this home and the amazing host."
3543027,39820151,2015-07-26,37410164,Cerise,"Caroline was a pleasure to work with. Very prompt in responding. Her house is great and was perfect for our group of 7. The house was clean and linens were nice. Very quite neighbor hood. I would have liked it to have been within walking distance to some restaurants, grocery etc... But all and all a great place to stay! Austin is an amazing place!"
72833,198536,2011-03-14,384091,Analisa,"It was such a pleasure to stay with Andy. The cottage is beyond adorable, and perfect for anyone needing a comfortable, private space to stay in Austin. Andy and his wife were incredibly hospitable and kind.Thank you for such a wonderful experience."
72833,206248,2011-03-22,355895,Pauline,A great place with great and very helpful hosts. 
72833,209256,2011-03-26,415484,Jessica,Fabulous and lovely cottage in a great (and quiet) location! I loved the Austin/music memorabilia decor - very unique. Hosts stocked the kitchen with breakfast too! 
72833,211461,2011-03-28,451320,Gary,"Great place to stay - friendly hosts, cute private setup with full kitchen and bath in quiet neighborhood. Probably need a car to stay here and get around though. Would definitely recommend."
72833,214380,2011-04-01,276807,Karmen,Andy's place is very clean and comfortable. It has everything I need and the location is excellent. Andy is a great host and will surely stay again.
72833,218191,2011-04-05,424893,Anna,"Adorable little cottage! Conveniently located + charming, quiet neighborhood. Very comfortable and kitchen well-stocked (a pleasant surprise). Hosts were very friendly; un-intrusive. What more can I say? I would stay again and recommend others."

72833,250574,2011-05-03,535574,Gena,My mom and I had a wonderful stay! The place was very clean and the fridge was stocked with breakfast goodies.  I will definitley stay there again my next time in Austin. Thanks Andy!

72833,265806,2011-05-16,374653,Wendy,"Andy and Ellen were incredibly gracious hosts. The stocked fridge,  fabulous local restaurant recommendations and eclectic art/book collection are lovely touches to their warm, homey cottage. 

This is now our go-to place anytime we visit Austin. "
72833,270144,2011-05-18,563512,Vanessa,"Lovely little place!  Perfect for two people.  Everything was clean and comfy, and the fridge was even stocked with goodies.  Andy was a very welcoming host and got the place ready for us on super-short notice when our other accommodations (non-Air BNB) fell through.  The location is also great - close to everything, in a very quiet and charming part of Austin.  Easy access to Mopac and Lamar.  We would definitely stay there again."
72833,282755,2011-05-26,314611,Iain & Cathy,"Andy and Ellen provided us with very private and secure accommodation in a cottage at the rear of their house.

We had a rental car so nowhere was too far away.  Downtown was onlly 10 minutes.  

Ellen had stocked the fridge and cupboards with breakfast choices to suit any taste but we were more than happy to have the fresh friuit, yoghurts, cereals and eggs which we had missed at our previous motel stays.  Andy and Ellen gave us suggestions about where to go , for eating and areas of interest which we appreciated.  We will always have pleasant memories of Austin.  Thank you Andy and Ellen."
72833,290226,2011-05-31,486958,Mavis,"Our first experience with Airbnb and Andy made it a great one.  He was very patient and accommodating when we needed to change plans at the last minute. 

The cottage is great. In a quiet and very pretty older Austin neighborhood. The A/C unit kept everything very comfortable inside and the kitchen was stocked with a wide variety of breakfast items and drinks. It was an awesome place to fall back to and recharge after a long day out and about with our fellow RTXers. "
72833,299056,2011-06-05,647434,Scott,"Hosts are extremely nice and generous. Couldn't be more thoughtful. Cottage is clean, private and reasonably comfortable. Loads of extras, like mountain bikes and bbq pit at your disposal, snacks, drinks in the fridge, staples like coffee, eggs and milk and fresh tomatoes from their garden! Futon is decent, though a little awkward for two, but no problem for younger adults I'm sure (guess I'm getting old, haha)."
72833,312111,2011-06-13,627544,Zuchero,We loved our stay at the cottage! More than we expected! lots of goodies in the fridge! beautiful garden! fresh tomatoes and pepper by the door!!! that was nice!!! a lilltle far from downtown but very close to the major highway! We really enjoyed the tranquility of the neighborhood! Highly recommend this cottage! Thank you Andy and Ellen!    
72833,338817,2011-06-27,722229,Misti,Andy has a great cottage in a wonderful location.  The hosts were very polite and made sure we had everything we needed and then some.  They provided us with access to bicycles and organic snacks.  I would highly reccomend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxed setting.
72833,351437,2011-07-04,268641,Elise,"I had a great stay in Andy and Ellen's private cottage. They were completely accommodating of my shifting plans, and when I arrived I found the guest house adorable, spotless, and stocked with more breakfast choices than one really should have. They made great suggestions for how I might pass the time, and made all of their facilities available to me. If you don't mind the short commute into the city (I used one of their bikes) and don't object to a futon bed, you will really enjoy this private, comfortable hideaway in a beautiful character neighbohood."
72833,394084,2011-07-24,842782,Joris,"Andy and Ellen are great hosts, very helpful and friendly! I loved the cottage, which has everything you need for a pleasant stay in Austin."

72833,447541,2011-08-15,903968,Alexander,"Andy and Ellen were excellent hosts.

The guest home was really easy to check into, and was appropriately cooled for the Texas weather when we got there. One of the best things about staying in the unit, was the fact that almost everything I could think of had been taken care of. We had a place to park, bikes to use, internet access, and even some fresh fruit in the fridge which really helped take the edge off of arriving. We had tons of privacy  If I even come back to Austin, I will unquestionably check if I can stay here first."
72833,460835,2011-08-20,557111,Traylor,"My stay with at Andy Simmons’ private cottage was wonderful. It was private, and yet I felt like I could reach out and ‘say hey’ if necessary or if I had questions or wanted ‘intel’ on good places to eat or visit. Some nice touches were:
-	The cottage had lots of ‘Austin history’ memorabilia which was fun to explore
-	The stereo had an i-phone docking station.
-	The fridge was stocked with great breakfast, snack, beverage items.

Their cottage made me feel at home- a big plus when traveling.
"
72833,494401,2011-09-01,918564,Dana,"We had a wonderful stay! Andy and Ellen were great hosts, offering a lovely cottage stocked with great food and books. The bikes were a fun way to explore Austin and Andy's help with navigation was exceptional. Wish we could have a place like this to stay everywhere we went."
72833,506726,2011-09-06,722229,Misti,Great people.  Great stay. Great experience.  This was our second time to stay there and its our new favorite place.  It is centrally located and has many perks that are provided by the owner.  
72833,544347,2011-09-19,575592,Lurinda,"This was such a lovely cottage to stay in, I did not want to leave! All the small details, to make this a memorable stay, made this a cottage a would recommend to anyone! The fridge was stocked to our hearts content and it even had a few cold beers waiting for us! We went there mainly for the ACL music festival but felt sad to leave each morning because we actually wanted to enjoy the cottage as much as we could! Slept on the most comfortable futon ever! Took more photos of the decor inside the cottage than anything else! Will never stay inside another hotel in Austin; the Central Cottage is where it's at!!"
72833,567366,2011-09-25,211308,Beth & Matt,"Andy and Ellen were wonderful hosts.
We had a great stay at the cottage. It had everything we needed and more. The bikes provided were fantastic and we had a nice ride on the trails close to the cottage. We also took the bus downtown, which was very convenient (an easy 15-20 minute ride). Also within walking distance to Kerby Lane Cafe and the Draught House both great places to grab a beer or some food.

We'd highly recommend the Central Cottage!

72833,611995,2011-10-09,1194850,Sebastian,"My girlfriend and I stayed at the cottage for two nights and we had a fantastic experience. Set in a beautiful neighborhood, the cottage has all the privacy you need with the convenience of location. The fridge was fully stocked and the place was immaculately clean. The two great mountain bikes are an additional perk and when we had some trouble with the locks, Andy actually interrupted his day to come home and help us with them. The bikes proved to be a great way to explore the city. Could not recommend this place enough! We'll be back the next time we're in Austin."
72833,628524,2011-10-14,239981,Alexander,The cottage was an excellent place for our stay.  Andy provided great tips about Austin and the surrounding area. Would love to stay there on the next visit to Austin!
72833,638246,2011-10-17,705692,Meredith,"Lovely home set in a peaceful location, close to everything you will enjoy in downtown Austin.  The pictures don't lie!  My husband and I enjoyed our weekend stay very much and especially appreciated the stocked refrigerator, allowing us a nice relaxed morning making breakfast together in the spacious kitchen.  We hope to return!  It should be noted, that guests over 6'5"" will have a bit of trouble fitting in the shower--it wasn't a big problem for us (my husband is 6'5""), but future tall guests should take note."
72833,657755,2011-10-24,1132718,Juliane,"The Central Cottage was a great place to stay in Austin.  We arrived at the cottage to see it was nestled on a tree lined street in a quiet neighborhood.  The bikes they provided were in good condition and we did take them out for a day, however the locks might be a bit intimidating for some... there were quite a few!  The dogs barked a little but they were in a fenced in back yard so no need to worry.  The cottage looks exactly the same as the pictures on the air bnb site and we were quite pleased.  The fridge was stocked with plenty of juice and items for breakfast.  If you want to do a lot downtown plan on about a $15 fare for a cab, we took the bus almost everyday which was a $1-$2 fare.  The stop was conveniently located about six blocks from the cottage.  I would recommend the cottage to a friend or family member!  

Thanks!!"
72833,679205,2011-11-01,1159238,Joanne,"Returning to Austin was great fun, made all the better due to the wonderful accommodations, and Andy and Ellen's hospitality.  The place was, as another reviewer put it, clean, cozy and comfortable, and accurately represented here on airbnb.  The kitchen was stocked, not only with a diverse mix of breakfast and snack foods, including all kinds of beverages, but quality HEALTHY stuff (organic, wholesome), which was a huge plus for us.  The rooms were spotless and well maintained, and we had access to a w/d.  We were afforded considerable privacy -- able to come and go without disturbing anyone and vice versa (yes, the dogs barked a few times over the course of a week, but not odd hours, and it was no bother to us).  The cottage was filled with unique and quirky books, mementos and knickknacks -- so perfectly Austin.  Having lived in the neighborhood previously, we knew going in it was safe, peaceful and strategically well situatiated -- super easy for jumping onto Mopac (10 min to downtown sans traffic), and close proximity to places like Russels, Kirby Lane, Draught House, Taco Deli, Houndstooth, etc. Overall the experience worked out great for us, and we heartily recommend this Central Cottage."
72833,698111,2011-11-07,1215533,Janell,"We had a very nice time, and were very pleased with how clean, cozy, and cute the cottage was.  The fridge was well-stocked, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. It was perfect for a weekend getaway."
72833,713531,2011-11-13,521140,Lauren,"The place was a great space to come back to after long days of helping out with my friend's wedding prep. The kitchen was impressively stocked and helped me and my boyfriend feel right at home.
The price really was a good deal, and I loved the neighborhood. Walking to Kerby Lane Diner was also a treat.
I highly recommend staying at Andy's cottage!"
72833,726093,2011-11-17,1273906,Samara,We loved staying at the cottage!  Andy and Ellen were so nice and the cottage was adorable.  We loved having access to the bikes - we were able to ride downtown on the Shoal Creek trail and it was nice staying in walking distance of Central Market.  We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for wonderful accommodations in Austin.  I hope to come back and stay at the cottage for SXSW!  
72833,735588,2011-11-21,1394683,Christopher & Brian,"The bungalow was great!  Clean, quaint, centrally located and near public transportation. I didn't use the kitchen but if someone wanted to it is perfect. Extremely quiet and hassle free. Andy had stocked he fridge with more than enough food which was an awesome surprise. Simply perfect. They even offered me a ride which was above and beyond anything I expected.  Stay here if you are looking for a great neighborhood and don't need to be stuck downtown. Hike and bike nearby. Bikes available. I will be back!"
72833,761184,2011-12-03,1282484,Greg & Debra,Andy and Ellen's cottage was a great place to stay.  It felt like home there with all they provided like really healthy foods.  The little details in the cottage are very pleasant and the neighborhood was very peaceful.  I would come back to visit when in Austin.  This beats a hotel anyday!
72833,783868,2011-12-13,1466043,Robert,"Great place, great hosts, highly recommended. "
72833,793502,2011-12-19,1438005,Kim,"Loved airbnb, I've never used it before. Andy and Ellen were
wonderful and the location plus cottage was perfect for our needs. Would highly recommend. "
72833,808366,2011-12-27,835737,Cristina,"Hosts were welcoming and courteous. Cozy older cottage with three distinct spaces (living/bedroom, kitchen, bathroom), ideal for medium to long stays. The fridge stocked with organic breakfast items was a great bonus. Parking in the driveway right next to the cottage entrance. Location excellent, on a quiet street close to the university.

Heating unit was a bit noisy... had to turn off at night. Not a problem as the cottage was well equipped with extra blankets and stayed pretty warm even without the unit on. 

I would certainly stay here again. Thanks to Andy and Ellen for the warm welcome. "
72833,818711,2011-12-31,1149084,Jeremy,"We had an amazing time at this Austin Cottage. Andy and his wife we're excellent hosts. This is definitely going to be our go-to place whenever we visit Austin. 
"
72833,825588,2012-01-02,315046,Breanna,Andy was very accommodating. Everything in the cottage was perfect. Very clean! The fridge was stocked with drinks and breakfast foods. He even left beers for us. I would definitely stay here again in the future. The area was perfect too. Walking distance to the best pancakes in town! 
72833,844781,2012-01-06,837454,Barbie,"This was a charming, clean, safe, light place to stay in a great location. The hosts, Andy and Ellen greeted us, showed us around and then made sure we knew how to reach them if we needed something and then they were upfront in the house nearly invisible in that good way. Never intrusive but quick to respond to any question or need. Kept the fridge stocked with great organic yummies that we all loved. I only wish we could have stayed longer. "
72833,854674,2012-01-10,1459573,Angie,"Andy and Ellen were great hosts. They helped us out with any information we needed, and Andy gave us some great tips on good music and music venues in Austin. The fridge was stocked with goodies and the cottage was peaceful and very comfortable. Can confidently highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back!"
72833,875959,2012-01-22,1489888,Heather,"Andy and Ellen were great hosts - very welcoming and helpful, but not at all intrusive. The cottage is in a great location - a short drive from the airport and an even shorter drive to downtown and UT.  The running/biking trail is a short walk away.  The neighborhood felt very safe.  The cottage is very clean and comfortable, and we had everything we needed.  The fresh, healthly breakfast foods were wonderful, and we appreciated all of the personal touches.  The dogs are very cute and were no bother at all.  This is a great alternative to a hotel (and cheaper too?)  Thanks for sharing your lovely place with us! "
72833,888577,2012-01-29,979685,Vanessa,"This property truly is an excellent value.

First off, location is convenient to many points. My boyfriend and I were both in town for work in SW Austin, but wanted to maximize our opportunity to see friends who work and live north. It provided a great home base to both head to the office in the morning and to see friends in the evening. Easy, 10 minute or less drives to Monkey Nest Coffee, Korea House off Anderson, and of course was walking distance to Kerbey and Russell's Bakery/Cafe.

About the property itself, the private driveway parking  just outside the cottage windows meant it was easy to run back and forth to load/unload. The stocked, full-size fridge in the well-equipped kitchen let us enjoy real breakfasts in the room in the morning, and bring home leftovers at night. Wifi was strong and we had multiple machines/devices connected with no issues. While this is definitely an older mother-in-law cottage, it was immaculately clean on our arrival - and I mean down to the baseboards - which I appreciated since I'm a bit of a neat freak. Since we stayed a week we took advantage of the washer/dryer in the garage next door to do laundry on day 5, which was also a plus.

As others have mentioned, the only possible dings are the size of the shower, the comfort of the bed, and the A/C/Heater unit. (Details below.) Even with these elements taken into consideration, the property really is a great value and I would definitely return on my own. Andy was an excellent host, greeting us a few times, but never intrusive. I left behind a small makeup mirror and he was kind enough to mail it home to me after I contacted him about it.

These details are just in the interest of helping others make an informed decision. As I said, I would stay again in a heartbeat.

The shower is small, older and a bit dark. My boyfriend is just over 6ft and while he could fit in the shower space fine, he had to bend to rinse his hair as the shower head hit below the top of his head. There was, however, plenty of hot water at all times.

The bed is a futon that is laid flat when you arrive. The listing does state this, but I'm afraid I overlooked it. We made it through our first few nights comfortably, but the stiffness was more noticeable toward the end of our week, especially for my boyfriend who prefers a soft mattress.

Lastly, setting the wall unit on low does reduce the noise - and it's white noise the whole time, no rattling or power-up clunks - but it is definitely noticeable. We would turn it off to sleep, and then wake up a few times to turn it on and off to regulate the temperature. (Note: it was actually kind of nice for me because despite being a light sleeper myself, it actually drowned out the noise of the snoring boyfriend.)"
72833,894417,2012-01-31,1139829,Maria,Clean and well appointed cottage. I loved the supplied book selection and local mags for reference for fun things around town. The breakfast provisions were a really nice touch. : >.
72833,898940,2012-02-02,1674815,Robert,"We really enjoyed our stay at Andy and Ellen's ""Bed and Bike B&B.  Great location for enjoying classic central Austin.

72833,902889,2012-02-05,1648837,Kelly,"Loved this place! The hosts are very friendly and inviting. The fridge was stocked with organic and yummy breakfast foods and snacks and even a few beers. The neighborhood is perfectly located with many restaurants and things to do close by, but it was still very quiet and tucked away at the same time. This cottage was the icing on the cake for our weekend trip to Austin! "
72833,917128,2012-02-13,572186,Larson,"We absolutely loved the cottage. It was super clean, comfy, and convenient. The small things (stocked fridge, easy to use heater/ac) made it an absolutely amazing place to stay, and we definitely hope to visit Austin and the cottage again!"
72833,923998,2012-02-15,1728626,Frank,"This Austin home and neighborhood has many fine features.  The owners are biking enthusiasts, familiar with the hilly terrain of inner north Austin, and can answer many questions from visitors.  Highly recommended! "
72833,936144,2012-02-21,1388187,Carmen,For my first Airbnb experience this was perfect.  The cottage had everything one could need.  All photos are accurate and the neighborhood is adorable.  The supplies for breakfast were very generous.  Andy and Ellen were very friendly and helpful.  I would stay again and recommend Bikes and Breakfast to anyone. Thank you Andy and Ellen!
72833,952143,2012-02-27,1619768,Craig,Andy and Ellen's cottage was just right for us. The kitchen is handy and the provisions were generous and thoughtful.

72833,975265,2012-03-06,1619567,Nancy,"My husband and I have visited the Austin area five times and this was without a doubt our favorite place to stay!

The extras provided are amazing - food and drinks in the great little kitchen and the two bikes available to use are great! We would book a stay here again in a heartbeat!!!!"

The cottage is clean, beautiful and located on a quiet residential street with easy access downtown by bus. The restaurants and grocery stores within walking distance were all great as well. Andy and Ellen were super friendly and gave us great recommendations for local BBQ. Highly recommend this spot!"
72833,1028400,2012-03-21,1284424,Rebecca,"An incredible deal, no detail overlooked. The cottage is furnished with every imaginable need and lots of cute embellishments. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly, but also respectful of privacy. They even gave me a ride to the airport. 

I would def recommend!"
72833,1040355,2012-03-25,1810039,Colleen,"Such a great and cozy cottage. It was close to cool North Austin places like the Draught House, Kerbey Lane, The Omelettry, and even within walking distance to part of the greenbelt. It was a great place for a getaway weekend and the hosts were great We will stay here again!:)"
72833,1067383,2012-04-01,322832,Bill,"We had a great time in Austin and the cottage made it really special for us, we loved this place.  The listed description is spot on and the other positive reviews are well deserved.  I will note they take the B&B breakfast 'B' seriously.  The fridge and kitchen were really well stocked with breakfast items down to the kind of almond milk, kashi cereal and greek yogurt we love. "
72833,1085416,2012-04-05,1725513,Rebecca,We had a great visit in Austin at the Cottage.  Andy and Ellen were fantastic hosts and we felt right at home.  The cottage had everything we needed with great breakfast selections.  I wholeheartedly recommend staying here and hope to visit again.
72833,1101533,2012-04-09,1748499,Ideen,We stayed here for 4 nights and could not have asked for a better experience! Andy and Ellen went beyond our expectations with the food and amenities provided. The cottage has everything you need and is stocked with really cool and interesting books. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit!
72833,1147407,2012-04-18,1749179,Anna,Andy and Ellen are awesome!  After flying from London to Austin we arrived to a very clean and comfortable cottage.  Communication with them was on point and would love to stay there again when I visit Austin next year.  
72833,1184155,2012-04-26,1866413,Kelly,"This was my first AirBnB experience, and after returning home, I can't wait to never ever have to stay at a conventional hotel room ever again and plan on exhausting this service as my shelter resource when I'm traveling to distant places.   The accommodations were superb - very cozy, breezy, good healthy breakfast food, wonderful bikes to use, close to downtown Austin and the airport, accessible to public transportation, bike trails, and major roads.   My boyfriend, who enjoys staying at high quality hotel chains, like the Four Seasons, even thanked me for choosing this location."
72833,1195121,2012-04-29,1661968,Adriana,"This was my first time booking through airbnb. It was a great first experience. My boyfriend and I stayed 3 nights. We enjoyed the view of Andy and Ellen's little vegetable garden. The cottage was very clean, cute and comfortable. I will take this little cottage over a hotel room any time. "
72833,1218426,2012-05-02,983686,Dana,Great place to stay in Austin!

72833,1252307,2012-05-09,1869081,Verena,"We really enjoyed our time in this wonderful cottage. (it was our first airbnb experience and we were amazed) Andy and Allen created a really nice place with lots of little nice details.  Further than that our review matches exactly with the one from Miranda. We also loved the bikes and this extraordenary dellicious breakfast.

Location (a leafy residential area) is pretty, safe and quiet. Cottage is both pretty and practical, with luggage rack, big bathroom bench, full length mirror, stereo, bike maps, coffee maker etc. We loved the bikes but most especially we loved the abundance of food in the kitchen!

72833,1474745,2012-06-13,225394,Jennifer,"What a treat! This place is decked out with EVERYTHING you need. Andy and Ellen have put so much thought and care into their cottage. We arrived at night and there were pretty lights leading our way. We adventured out on the bikes as well and rode downtown to Barton Springs  but maybe put the bike on the bus when it's 100 degrees, the ride back was a bit tough in that heat. But a great and comfy home away from home in Austin. "
72833,1514055,2012-06-19,1991662,Stephanie,"We had such a wonderful time at Andy & Ellen's cottage. We enjoyed the coziness of the place, the feeling of being at a home away from home in their quiet neighborhood, and being just a short drive to downtown. The stocked fridge and pantry were a total added bonus to our experience, and we enjoyed the healthy options they provided for breakfast and snacks. Andy & Ellen were very hospitable, and friendly and we would definitely recommend their cozy cottage to anyone!"

72833,1826203,2012-07-29,2128405,Melissa,"Ellen and Andy were the perfect hosts. They really think of everything you may need for your stay. The fridge and kitchen had perfect choices for breakfast and all kitchen items that I needed were stocked. They even had ice packs in the freezer, which came in handy for my boyfriends back after a day of paddleboarding. The cottage is in a great location, close to everything we needed on our trip to Austin. The hosts give you enough space to have a private stay but are there if you have any questions or need any advice. My boyfriend and I went to Austin for a job interview and if we have to go back for anything we will definitely book this cottage again, if it is available. You will not be disappointed in staying here. Ellen even brought me some wine my first night so I didn't have to leave again after we arrived! We really appreciate everything they did for us to make our trip so enjoyable! "

The hosts were very considerate and even helped us get tickets to the Drafthouse cinema.  The location is great, central yet quiet.  Free laundry and internet access were a plus.  The picnic lunch cooler and ice packs allowed us to do day trips off the beaten path and were much appreciated.       "
72833,2469889,2012-10-01,3406589,Kelsey,"This was our first time using Airbnb and it was so perfect. My husband and I felt totally comfortable at Ellen and Andy's cottage. All of the little decorations and special touches were so fun and made us feel right at home. We got up every morning and made ourselves coffee and bagels, and the juice and drinks were nice to take with us on our bike rides. The bikes! How great. So nice to have bikes that we didn't have to go rent, or drag our own around in our car. The location was amazing because we loved the neighborhood area and the houses, and check in/check out went seamlessly. Like I said, perfect stay."
72833,2555265,2012-10-09,1550918,Ian,"Andy and ellen were lovely hosts ,we had a great four day's staying at there cottage whilst in Austin .The cottage is well equipped and comfortable ,the two bikes came in very handy as its only a short trip into the city .The cottage is also quite close to a bus route if you are not feeling to energetic .Overall we had a great stay and look forward to seeing them in New Zealand sometime ."
72833,2627380,2012-10-16,2175287,Ryan,"No Complaints.. Everything was exactly as expected and more.  Both Andy and Ellen were great hosts. Who will do anything they can to make sure you stay is enjoyable.  Having the bikes was a great way to see a different side of Austin.  Privacy of the cottage worked out great. They even stocked the kitchen with some munchies and drinks.  Great choice.  Would recommend to anyone.

72833,2677365,2012-10-22,605870,Steve,"The cabana was very comfortable and clean.  The kitchen was well stocked, and I could have eaten breakfast for days with the amount and variety of food Andy and Ellen left for me.  I was so busy in Austin that I really did not have a chance to meet my hosts - perhaps next time!  The only minor snag was that I checked in at night and had a little difficulty getting the gate open in the dark, but I was in in 30 seconds."
72833,2808732,2012-11-05,3606267,Amelia,Such a cute place! Our hosts thought of everything and the details and thoughts being put into the cottage made our stay so perfect. Highly recommended!

Everything was clean and they did everything they could to make her feel at home, breakfast supplies, snacks and two bikes! The location is excellent and I highly recommend it to anyone needing a one-br place in Austin."
72833,2925185,2012-11-20,1512669,Raymond,We loved our time in Austin and couldn't have asked for a better location. The Cottage was very clean upon arrival and never notice their two dogs. It was nice and quiet. The kitchen was well stocked with breakfast goodies and coffee & tea. There are many great local restaurants within walking distance or even a short bike ride and only a few minutes from downtown by car. The bed was very comfortable and had great heat and a/c.  Would stay again when back in Austin. Great host and helpful with local suggestions.

"
72833,3338331,2013-01-13,4420933,Erika & Carey,"The Cottage is truly ADORABLE - it gets great light, is the perfect size and is well laid out. Andy and Ellen go above and beyond by providing fresh organic foods, paraben-free toiletries, good linens, great restaurant recommendations, guides, and directions, an awesome radio (Austin has terrific stations!), really good books, and 2 bikes with helmets all in good condition. They even allow you to use their washer and dryer! They were very gracious, easy, and laid back hosts. There were a couple of pretty MINOR drawbacks: the heater is a tad on the loud side, the bikes needed a little cleaning before use (just a quick rinse really), and the neighbors were doing what seemed like a small renovation project a couple of days, which wouldn't normally be a big deal, but we were trying to escape our landlord's endless renovations and wanted to lay around and read in the mornings. Please don't let these little things discourage you from staying here (we just like to be totally up front and thorough). We had a wonderful time and instantly felt right at home. We never even had to knock on their door because they thought of everything we could have wanted! "

72833,3770984,2013-03-13,3693304,Amanda,"Great place to stay for SXSW! Andy And Ellen were wonderful and even lent me a duffel bag when my suitcase busted. The bikes work great, the cottage has great character, and the breakfast was exactly what I liked. A very enjoyable stay! "
72833,3900980,2013-03-25,5545527,James,"Great place, very quiet, just a blk from Shoal Creek hike/bike paths. Wish I had longer to stay."
72833,3980512,2013-04-01,5176850,Laura,The cottage was fabulous!  Lots of great screened in windows to allow the lovely spring air to flow in.  They're so close to the great trails to ride your bikes on and we went easily down to SoCo one afternoon.  Completely cute and we will stay here again!!
72833,4247576,2013-04-22,89845,Melanie,"The cottage was absolutely perfect for us and the neighborhood SO incredibly quiet.  Great location, great amenities.  We had a very restful stay , while at the same time, being in the heart of Austin to take in all it has to offer.  Would highly recommend, and will definitely be back. "
72833,4323752,2013-04-28,5403996,Antje,"This was our first time in Austin and it could not have been better. The cottage is charming, clean and very quiet.  Andy and Ellen are wonderful hosts. 
The bikes that came with it were a HUGE plus.  We biked all over town.  We HIGHLY recommend staying there. 

"
72833,4394065,2013-05-02,4898239,Cheryl,"This was the perfect accommodations for our needs.  Convenient to many attractions and oh, so, comforable!  Andy and Ellen fulfilled our request for special breakfast foods.  We stayed for 4 nights and LOVED that the refrigerator was big enough to store the food we brought.  Also, the refrigerator was well stocked with yogurt, water, salad dressing and even libation!  Thanks for having us!"
72833,4454372,2013-05-06,5818377,Marshall,"Andy and Ellen's cottage is a real gem.  It's comfortably equipped and well located with respect to Austin's central market area and downtown.  As hosts, they have certainly taken care of the basics but they far exceeded our expectation with respect to the provisions for breakfast.  The selection of food and beverage was wonderful.

If you're interested in a quiet, clean, comfortable cottage with a spectacular breakfast and the provision of two very nice bicycles, don't hesitate to make Andy & Ellen's cottage your choice.  You won't be disappointed."
72833,4613608,2013-05-15,1857492,Brenda,You are great hosts.  It has always been a pleasure to stay with you both.  Anyone coming to Austin that doesn't stay with you is not informed! Take care. Brenda
72833,5251296,2013-06-20,5145913,Philip,"This cottage in the Rosedale neighborhood of Austin was perfect. I've lived in Austin for years and needed a place to stay for a few days while the move was happening, and I felt really fortunate to have found this cottage for such a reasonable price. The location was great for me: close to Central Market, Jefferson Square, Lamar, Mopac...there's even a Budget/Avis rental car outpost on 35th and Kerbey. If the weather is really hot (as it tends to be in the summer), walking to these places might be a chore, but Andy and Ellen provide bikes and helmets for those who don't have cars. All in all they were superb hosts. The fridge was fully stocked with juice, yogurt, milk...even wine! The house itself was immaculate and cosy and filled with Austin memorabilia. I'm sorry to be leaving Austin, but I'm glad that my last few days there were so comfortable and easy. Thanks, Andy and Ellen!"
72833,5412384,2013-06-29,1586144,Jennifer,Loved the location and the stocked kitchen was wonderful. The bed was a bit small for two ad not super comfy for my week long stay. The cottage was quaint and had so many cute things in it! I enjoyed the pond with the frogs and the stocked kitchen. Thank you! You made my stay that much easier. 
72833,5522197,2013-07-04,5410658,Jens & Sabrina,"Andy's and Ellen's cottage in Austin is a jewel. We totally fell in love with the place! Everything is clean and cosy, and all the little details and bits everywhere are what makes this place so nice! The stocked fridge and kitchen are a dream come true - we loved the Odwalla smoothies and the almond milk!

If you ever are in the area, be sure to stay here, we will come back for sure!"
72833,7043220,2013-09-04,7964837,Tim,"Great little cottage!  Our first booking with AirBNB, would definitely stay again.  Fully stocked kitchen, very nice living/bedroom, and located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown Austin.  Thanks!"
72833,7381054,2013-09-17,681406,Catherine,"I booked the house for my mother to stay in while she was visiting me in Austin, and she really enjoyed it. The place is clean and cozy, and she really appreciated the snacks and drinks that were provided. She said she would definitely want to stay there again."
72833,7459720,2013-09-21,9491129,Jessica,my husband and i stayed at the cottage for 5 days while in austin.  We loved it! It had everything we needed and the breakfast food was perfect. We made use of the bikes and took them down to barton springs. Our hosts were super welcoming and have us all the info we needed to have a great time. We would highly recommend this place!
72833,7745040,2013-10-01,1159238,Joanne,"We've stayed at Andy and Ellen's place a number of times now and have left longer reviews. We'll sum up here by saying they are great hosts, the place is in a convenient location, and the cottage itself is comfortable, full with amenities (including breakfast items), and a great place to stay.  "
72833,7888383,2013-10-07,1881137,Lisa,"Great stay! The location really worked well for us.  With easy access to Mopac it would be great for most areas of the city.  The hosts are quick to respond and have gone over and above with stocking the refrigerator, bathroom, etc. unfortunately, we didn't have time to take advantage of the bikes provided, but that is a great benefit. My only reservation in recommending it to friends is the bed is really small for two people."
72833,8363572,2013-10-28,484595,Tiffany,"This is was our first stay at the Central Cottage and it was great.
Andy and Ellen really think of everything and leave tons of snacks and drinks for you. The cottage is a nice size and has a great feel. We didn't take advantage of the bikes made available but did have lots of nice walks through the quiet neighborhood. We just had a great stay. "
72833,8691298,2013-11-12,8694786,Allison,"After our 2-night stay, I can say for sure that this is head and shoulders better than any hotel experience we've had. Andy & Ellen provide everything you could want, and they are very detail-oriented, from having 3 kinds of milk (almond, 2%, half and half) in the fridge, to the extra soft TP in the bathroom. They had 4 bikes available and we had fun riding 2 of them all over Austin. We also walked to a few eating establishments near the cottage. Great location, amenities, and hosts. Thanks!"
72833,9037245,2013-12-02,3406589,Kelsey,"Our second time at the Cottage and it was perfect once again! We love it so much, it's our Austin home away from home."
72833,9476925,2013-12-30,10547991,Terry,A perfect cottage for us!  It was particularly nice to have the bikes and a fun and expansive selection of organic food and drink in the kitchen.  Andy and Ellen really do a great job.
72833,9854695,2014-01-14,8616194,Barbara,Very comfortable. Terrific hosts.
72833,10102821,2014-01-31,9389902,Brooke,"This was a very nice place to relax.  I did not take advantage of the bikes, but it was nice that they were there.  The cottage was generously stocked with breakfast foods and snacks.  There was even vanilla soy milk, which I appreciated.  I hope to stay at the cottage again."
72833,10246075,2014-02-09,11003948,Rick & Lorrie,"Andy & Ellen's Cottage was fantastic.  Great location.  Close to the car rental.  We visited when it was extremely cold outside so did not get a change to use the bikes or go for a walk.  The heat was turned on for us with snacks and drinks waiting!  This is a wonderful place to stay if you are considering visiting Austin! 
"
72833,10419357,2014-02-18,10686092,Tess,"We LOVED staying at Ellen and Andy's place. The Cottage is very roomy, and very comfortable, located in a quiet area. We enjoyed the feel of being in a neighborhood - a nice sense of belonging even while on vacation. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials for breakfast - so convenient. The bikes are great - we cruised all over town and didn't have to worry about parking (or having a beer or two with our BBQ!). I think Austin is my new favorite town to escape to in the winter, and the Cottage my new favorite place! We hope to be back again next year. "
72833,10542764,2014-02-24,7341671,Janet,"'The Cottage' is comfortable, clean and pleasantly private. The hosts, Andy and Ellen, thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with fresh fruit, craft beer, Izze sodas, and a variety of organic breakfast items. They not only provided bikes for us, but also bike helmets, bike locks, and a map of the nearby Shoal Creek bike trail. We enjoyed being able to walk to several casual restaurants with patio seating. We would definitely stay at Andy and Ellen's cottage again."
72833,10687667,2014-03-03,11878606,Jessica,"Very quiet, comfortable and cozy place. I highly recommend this cottage to others."
72833,10839281,2014-03-10,11439492,Tracy,Cute cottage!  Very good location; we just wish the weather would have been nicer so we could use the bikes.  Andy & Ellen are very friendly and we enjoyed our stay.
72833,10998143,2014-03-17,761398,Roger,"Andy and Ellen were fantastic hosts. The cottage is charming and very well furnished and equipped. 

Most mornings either Andy or Ellen gave me a lift downtown in the morning which really made my day much more manageable.

I highly recommend this property as an Austin location for a holiday or a business trip"
72833,11106632,2014-03-21,10829564,Julie,"My husband and I stayed here for a short spring break getaway to Austin. It was perfect, so cozy and adorable. We loved the kitchen (which was stocked with breakfast food), the accessibility to their bikes, and the proximity to the city. There is so much to do in Austin that we were hardly at the b&b, but it was perfectly relaxing when we did get to hang out there."
72833,11141441,2014-03-22,3830363,Randy,"Wonderful cottage, cute and cozy. Relaxing, quite  Andy and Ellen were great hosts!"
72833,11300647,2014-03-29,10501383,Cameron + Lisa,We had a wonderful stay at the cottage in Austin.  Andy and Ellen were super knowledgeable about Austin and great to talk to. The breakfast spread was perfect and the bikes got us everywhere.  
72833,11505087,2014-04-06,35244,Paula And Pete,Andy and Ellen are wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our accommodations at their cottage. Andy took care of a problem with one of the bikes ASAP and got us back up riding quickly. The collection of books in the cottage had lots of great information about Austin and surrounding areas. The breakfast goodies they provided were very thoughtful. We felt very much at home during our visit there. You probably can not find a better place to stay in Austin. 
72833,11751407,2014-04-14,10952213,Connie,"This was a great little cottage in a quiet neighborhood with a completely well stocked kitchen, which we loved.  My husband and I especially enjoyed the bikes, riding along a bike/pedestrian trail all the way downtown!
Our visit was busy spending time with our children who are at UT (nearby) so we were not at the cottage much, but I would've loved to had time to get to know Andy and Ellen better as they are very attentive and friendly hosts and appear to love hosting.
Thank you so much for your hospitality."
72833,12340481,2014-04-29,1833136,Pamela,"This was both our first visit to Austin and our first airbnb experience, and it was just fantastic all around! This little cottage is in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and has everything you could need. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen especially and all of the guidebooks. We didn't get to meet Ellen, but received some excellent tips from Andy that were truly appreciated. Thank you so much for the hospitality, and we hope to come back soon!"
72833,13071612,2014-05-19,4710397,Sharon,"What a great place!  Our gracious hosts thought of everything.  The kitchen was well stocked, the place was very clean and comfortable, nicely decorated, had alot of books and information on Austin and was conveniently located.  My husband asked if we could just move in!  I loved it and will definitely be back."
72833,13469524,2014-05-28,5110002,Meg,"We had a great time at Central Cottage! Cute little spot in an ideal location. The neighborhood was quite and friendly, with easy access to local restaurants and highways. And Andy & Ellen are generous hosts! We enjoyed the snacks and beverages in the kitchen as well as the use of their bikes - fully equipped with helmets, locks, bike bags, pump & lights! We hope to stay with you again when we visit Austin. Thanks for the hospitality!"
72833,13752734,2014-06-03,14478711,John,"Great part of Austin, close to downtown and the bikes were real treat. Andy & Ellen do great job at the place!"
72833,14648127,2014-06-23,16067005,Sharon,"The hosts and cottage were wonderful. This was a nice little place to stay in the perfect spot of town for us. They really went above and beyond by providing us with everything we would need during our stay, including organic and vegan-friendly food and drinks. Much appreciated! Would definitely recommend and want to visit again."
72833,14994339,2014-06-30,3535691,Mary,"The cottage is a wonderful, quiet, comfortable get away. Andy and Ellen are gracious hosts and have thought of every comfort for their guests. The cottage is quaint and is stocked with plenty of food and drinks for breakfast and snacks. We used the bikes to ride the Shoal Creek trail, then came back and were treated to fresh fruit and smoothies. The location of the cottage is convenient for getting to many of Austin's attractions. We will definitely stay here again and would refer anyone looking for a place in Austin to stay at the cottage."
72833,15335722,2014-07-07,10888309,Christopher,"The cottage was everything as promised and as other guests have said. It is a  lovely accommodation in a dead-quiet neighborhood, and hosts Andy and Ellen were gracious, thoughtful and eager to please.  We could not have asked for more, and wholeheartedly recommend central Cottage."
72833,16234689,2014-07-23,14329542,Casey,Amazing stay at this charming Austin cottage. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. And and Ellen have thought of every detail to make our stay completely at home in every way. 
72833,18812924,2014-09-01,19027426,Jonathan,"Andy and Ellen were very welcoming, warm, nice but not intrusive, perfect innkeepers. The cottage is everything they advertise. The fridge stocked with breakfast food was an extremely nice touch. We did not get a chance to use the bikes, but they were there and they had air in the tires, so they are not a myth. Since the cottage is separate from the main house, you still get privacy, in a good neighborhood, you should do it."
72833,19459703,2014-09-13,7659689,Bob,"I recently spent 2 nights at Andy & Ellen's cottage. The cottage was clean, cozy and quiet, and designed in a fun, funky Austin style. It's tucked into a neighborhood, but not far from major routes. 

Andy & Ellen are good hosts:  very friendly and welcoming;  accessible (the cottage is behind their house), but not intrusive. They answered my questions before and during my visit. 

They've prepared a reference notebook with great suggestions for places to eat and things to do. 

I borrowed one of their bikes, and found the area easy to cycle for an experienced traffic rider. Bonus: there's a (mostly) off-road trail that leads all the way to Town Lake. 

I was surprised how well-stocked the kitchen and fridge were. There was fruit, juice, bottled water and breakfast items. 

I recommend staying here if you want someplace away from downtown, but not too far out. If you're a cyclist, it's a no-brainier. "
72833,21332048,2014-10-15,4718015,Melissa,We had a perfect stay in Andy & Ellen's cottage.  It was so lovely & charming- each decoration was a fun little discovery. We are pretty self sufficient travelers and didn't run into our hosts too much. The treats in the kitchen hit the spot. The bikes were great- I didn't anticipate Austin being so hilly so it was quite an adventure. Highly recommend considering this place for your next stay in Austin. 
72833,21520907,2014-10-19,10610120,Lindsay,We had an amazing time in Austin. The cottage was perfect!! Exactly like the pictures. Very clean and safe. Could not have asked for anything better! 
72833,22020334,2014-10-28,20896509,Albert,"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the Austin Cottage! Our host, Andy, made us feel welcome and had the cottage ready to go for our visit. It was exactly as described and in a terrific, safe residential neighborhood. The cottage was clean, fully stocked with items for breakfast, had towels, TV with Netflix, Wifi, basically everything we needed. We were provided with a binder with information about places to eat, shop, etc... which was very helpful. Andy also offered some great suggestions on what to see while in Austin which we took full advantage of. Next time we are in Austin, we will definitely stay at the Austin Cottage again. "
72833,22224916,2014-11-02,8856271,Andreina,"Loved the place.. Andy and Ellen are excellent hosts, they waited for our arrival and left the place ready for us with food, drinks, etc
"
72833,22893035,2014-11-17,7669780,Eric,Really cool place loved staying there and would do it again. The cottage had everything we needed in terms of amenities...
72833,23292504,2014-11-28,8893130,Kenley,"This was a rental for my parents who were visiting me but would not fit in my house. Andy and Ellen had everything ready at arrival, which ended up being pretty late at night. The next morning they greeted my parents. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The decor is very Austin. When my mother got ambitious in the kitchen, Andy even bought an oven thermometer to make sure everything turned out right. They were great hosts, and I give them a high recommendation. "
72833,24869655,2015-01-03,23610464,Ellen,"The perfect cottage for two people. Super cute, decorated creatively with local charm. Easy central location. The kitchen and breakfast nook were nice to have. Andy and Ellen are personable and easy going hosts. We would stay again!"
72833,26275991,2015-02-08,26974498,Adrian,"We had a blissful time at the cottage. It was convenient and charming. It had everything we needed, and the hosts gave us our privacy."
72833,27059452,2015-02-24,6049359,Jackie,"We had a great stay at Andy and Ellen's cottage! Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful natural light, and a cozy breakfast nook. The cottage is in a good location--within walking distance to restaurants, coffee, and a grocery store.  Andy and Ellen were very communicative and helpful. "
72833,27452014,2015-03-04,28405010,Phillip,"The cottage was great, just as advertised.  Andy and Ellen were very hospitable.  I would defiantly stay with them again. Great location!"
72833,27647711,2015-03-09,25971808,Anthony,"Andy & Ellen's cottage felt like a home away from home. The location was great, the bed was very comfortable and the place was super clean. They maintained contact all the way to arrival to make sure we got in with no problems. I know exactly where I am staying next time I go to Austin!"
72833,28118853,2015-03-18,24949298,Kirsten,"Ellen and Andy are gracious and experienced hosts. They have thought of everything that contributes to comfort and ease of the stay. They were incredibly welcoming and concerned that my trip went well. The cottage is completely separate from the house, so privacy is complete but the hosts were available and happy to help with enquiries. It's been a week since I left and I still miss the tranquility of my little Austin hideaway."
72833,28327199,2015-03-22,5701978,Lucy,I enjoyed staying in this darling cottage. My host were very accommodating. The cottage was a great central location and came stocked with everything I could need. I will certainly stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. 
72833,28490518,2015-03-24,28891475,Ursula,"We found our stay at the cottage to be relaxing and private. The neighborhood is convenient to both 35 and 1, a short drive to the downtown/East Austin/South Austin destinations we were targeting. Rosedale is an interesting residential area with plenty of retail and services nearby. The cottage is nicely appointed with a relaxing vibe. Perfect for one or two people who want to stay close but not in the middle of the tourist scene in Austin."
72833,28879317,2015-03-31,6513729,Jerry,"My girlfriend and I met Andy & Ellen briefly during our stay at their cottage.  They were very friendly, and left us coffee, milk, and various beverages in the fridge.  We really appreciated that Ellen kept us up to date on the road work in front of their house so we didn't have to park at the end of the block.  The cottage is about 10min driving from downtown which we found to be perfect.  We really enjoyed Austin, and our stay at Central Cottage could not have been more enjoyable."
72833,29409512,2015-04-07,1089924,John,"Safe, quiet neighborhood.  Owners were available and made access easy.   "
72833,29828293,2015-04-13,26851219,Emily,"Andy and Ellen went above and beyond to make their cottage welcoming. In addition to extremely comfortable lodging, Andy and Ellen provided basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc.), sunscreen, and even basic breakfast food and coffee. They also provided outstanding advice for restaurants and grocery stores in the neighborhood. Their hospitality was absolutely on par with, if not better, than a hotel. 

The cottage is also in a great location, it was extremely easy to get downtown but out of the way enough that it was very quiet coming back at night. "
72833,30383715,2015-04-21,27530786,Brigid,"Andy and Ellen's cottage in Austin was perfect for us, self-contained, spacious, 'bed-sitting room' , a good sized kitchen and bathroom too. The kitchen was well stocked, all we needed at hand, great coffee too. Our host had also 'stocked' the bookshelves with Austin and travel mementos, books, DVDs, all of which, I felt, reflected the kind of interesting Austin people they are. We liked the large windows (good curtains, shades) that overlooked the garden, a veggie garden in early stages too, and lovely songbird sounds in the morning. It felt very private, and being in a lovely residential neighborhood it was quiet too; walking the neighborhood is a must! Even biking too if you wish as bikes are available. Traveling to anywhere in Austin by car was easy too. We would highly recommended Andy & Ellen's cottage as a lovely AIRBNB place to stay."
72833,31337698,2015-05-04,28232910,Awesomepe,"The cottage was lovely and very spacious.  The neighborhood was great and good walking and exploring.  We had a chance to meet Andy and Ellen and they were very nice and accommodating.  We will return.

72833,31998118,2015-05-12,32223969,Danielle,I have never been a fan of hotels and decided to try Airbnb after a friend introduced me to the site. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the cottage. Andy and Ellen are great hosts! Having basic amenities in the cottage was excellent. Their backyard cottage is centrally located in Austin allowing for a quick commute to the city. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing. The perfect place to come home to after a day of hustle and bustle in the city. 
72833,32333026,2015-05-17,29248449,Andrew,"Charming backyard cottage.  Andy and Ellen have provided over-and-above amenities - bikes, kitchen essentials, books/movies galore.  Comfortable, well-decorated.  Good AC"

72833,34336864,2015-06-07,33724676,Ashley,My boyfriend and I stayed at the cottage for four days and had a lot of fun. It was a home away from home. The cottage was a perfect fit for two people and had everything we needed. Andy and Ellen were very welcoming and helpful with places to go and things to do. We will definitely be back!
72833,34763544,2015-06-12,26193229,Charlotte,"We had a lovely stay in this little cottage! The hosts were friendly and welcoming but allowed us our privacy.
The cottage has a basic kitchen, which is well stocked in advance with basic bits.
Would 100% recommend!"
72833,36124220,2015-06-25,1220501,J Keven,"We had an excellent stay in Austin at this guest house. The hosts were great and the location was perfect for getting a feel for the area north of the city. Close to downtown and other sites, we were able to get around pretty easily. Great hunky tonk, breakfast places, and easy to navigate.

Hosts had coffee, cream, basic supplies ready for our arrival. Great value and convenience. A/c worked perfectly, laundry was great, great shower, etc. 

All around a really positive experience "
72833,37207723,2015-07-05,34131655,Alex,"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Andy & Ellen's cottage.  They were both extremely helpful during both booking and check-in.  Andy met us shortly after we checked in and gave us a few pointers on the neighborhood and getting around.

72833,40106849,2015-07-28,4669689,Hilary,"The Central Cottage with Bikes in Austin is fantastic. The cottage is a peaceful place with lots of light, a comfortable bed, roomy bathroom and well stocked kitchen. It is located in a great neighborhood that is a nice distance from all points of interest in the city. Andy and Ellen are helpful, gracious hosts. We highly recommend this place. "
72833,40969548,2015-08-03,9074598,Dan,"This listing was 100% accurate. Cottage behind the house in a lovely tree lined neighborhood. Centrally located to all the places we wanted to go, do and see in Austin. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this property to everyone.
Very good value."
72833,41805474,2015-08-09,32680772,Kaye,"My daughter and I had a great stay at Andy and Ellen's cottage.  Any and everything we could have possibly needed was planned for and provided.  The location was 10-15 min or less from everywhere we wanted to be, and the neighborhood was safe and welcoming.  

Ellen greeted us when we arrived and let us know she was there if we needed anything.  On our last day she also let us know we could extend our check-out time because there were no guests booked immediately after us.  Very accommodating. 

I would highly recommend this particular airbnb! "
72833,42689945,2015-08-15,13210904,Lindsey,I had the most wonderful time in this cute and quaint cottage. It wasn't far off the beaten path and really centrally located to anything I wanted to do. I LOVED the neighborhood too. The hosts were so hospitable and communicative. I felt more than accommodated. 
72833,45134949,2015-08-31,40416151,Traci,"This was the my first experience with AirBnB - and it couldn't have been better!  The ""Cottage"" has a very comfortable feel to it.  It's conveniently located near the University and downtown in a quite, older neighborhood lined with beautiful tress, near the Shoal Creek greenbelt.  The ""Cottage"" is well stocked with everything one would need (including coffee and eggs).  The instructions and notebook supplied by the Hosts - included everything we needed to know!"
72833,46906328,2015-09-14,5917433,Pamela,"We loved everything about our stay. Accessibility, friendliness, BIKES!, our hosts' deep knowledge of Austin/Tx culture/history. Just a great vacation - facilitated and abetted by a smart and reasonable dwelling and fine and welcoming people. 
"
72833,48498276,2015-09-27,32168412,Dionne,"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  The host(s) made us feel right at home.  The cottage is so quaint, and has everything anyone could ever possibly need.  It even had a few extras which the hosts left to welcome us.  If we needed anything they were right there to accommodate us.  The neighborhood is very quiet, and we felt very comfortable there.

We were in Austin for parents' weekend.  We rode the complimentary bikes to campus, which was a lifesaver.  Parking was a nightmare.  What a great way to get around town!  What a nice added bonus.

We will definitely try to stay at the cottage next time we are in town."
72833,49586972,2015-10-05,22335839,Allison,"The guest house was perfect-- all the amenities we needed plus cute touches that made our stay special. Bikes, kitchen essentials, even some local beer to try. "
72833,50428321,2015-10-12,32935637,Kate,"Andy and Ellen were perfect hosts - they provided the cottage with everything we needed, plus more!  They were receptive, but certainly gave us our privacy.  The cottage was the perfect size for the two of us.  The eat in kitchen was a perfect way to start our day with tea, coffee and breakfast (stocked by our hosts).  Since we plan to return to Austin, we will certainly want to stay here again!
"
72833,51306048,2015-10-19,23289508,Sabina,We had a super great time at Andy & Ellen's cottage. Everything was exactly as described - really nice place to stay. 
72833,51882502,2015-10-25,33694335,Chris,My wife and I had a wonderful experience at Andy & Ellen's cottage.  The cottage and it's amenities were just as they were described.  We would recommend any couple staying here.  It is a great destination that is quiet and restful.
72833,52832363,2015-11-02,42857586,Alex,"This was our first experience with airbnb and it was first rate. Andy and Ellen are wonderful hosts. Their stand alone cottage is about a 15 minute drive to the city center and consists of a large room with a queen sized bed with 2 chairs  and a TV, a full kitchen with a table for 2 and a bathroom with a small but adequate shower. The cottage contained many thoughtful touches including a loose leaf binder with local information, with Andy & Ellen's reviews of nearby restaurants, and many homey Austin based touches. The kitchen was stocked with condiments, tea, coffee, milk, water and even some biscotti.

We were awakened on our first morning by a tornado warning, heavy rains and reports of flooding in parts of the city. Being from the northeast and not used to tornado warnings, we texted Andy and Ellen wondering if we should do something. Andy was kind enough to walk through his backyard in the rain to assure us we were safe. He also let us know our plan to visit the State Museum was an excellent rainy day choice and it was not in a flooded part of the city.

We highly recommend Andy and Ellen's cottage with bikes for anyone staying in Austin.

7074646,51444336,2015-10-20,30614922,Jacquelyn,"To be honest, we were pretty disappointed in this house.  The night before I was set to arrive at the rental we were notified that we had to look out for people who claimed to be cops that would ask us if we were renting and we had to say ""No, get off my property"", which made me feel pretty uncomfortable.  Also, this rental is somebody's home that they left for the weekend, I have never had that experience with AirBnb, I normally have rented places that are strictly rental homes so being in someone's home with all of their family photos and clothes in the house was a bit weird.  Also, there were video cameras in the house and the refrigerator (which we were told we could use) was full of food and smelled like fish, and lastly the futon which we had planned to use was broken and the air mattress had holes in it, Terrance did however replace the air mattress pretty quickly for us."
2189688,28387091,2015-03-23,519483,Ashley,"I had a great stay at Timothy's loft in East Austin - the apartment was spacious, clean, and Tim left some very thoughtful welcome gifts and good recommendations for the neighborhood.  I was in town for SXSW, and it was great to be close enough to everything but also far enough away that I wasn't constantly surrounded by chaos.  I highly recommend!    "
5509268,28035329,2015-03-16,4899330,Todd,"The Bungalow was the perfect room for my stay during SXSW.  The room was great for me as a single traveler.  It had a very comfortable bed, full bathroom, small table for working, a mini fridge, coffee maker, etc.  The backyard was large and beautifully decorated and I often stepped out for emailing at the table in the yard, all connected to WiFi. 

Lisa was more than accommodating.  There were snacks, bikes for use, and a keyless entry system for the room.  

The house is a ten minute walk to S. Congress, where I would have breakfast before catching a short ride into town for the day's activities.  

Enjoy your stay!"
5509268,28484552,2015-03-24,741185,Wilson,"I couldn't have found a better room in Austin! All the amenities and creature comforts you could possibly want. Private keyless entry, microwave, refrigerator, Keurig coffee maker w endless k-cups, fruit bowl, silverware, hand crafted coffee mugs, a beautiful yard, toiletries galore, 2 guest bicycles, etc., etc. Lisa was extremely kind and went above and beyond to accommodate me during my stay. I would recommend the bungalow to anyone and would happily stay again next year for SXSW. Uber/Lyft rides down to 6th street ran about 7-10 bucks. "
5509268,29798655,2015-04-12,25283973,Tom,"Just stayed in Austin and couldn't have asked for better accommodations! The room was just as advertised: cozy and comfortable. The space is small, but a perfect landing place for one or two. Lisa was charming and interesting - a professional potter who is only too happy to share her craft with a curious traveller! The neighbourhood is quiet and peaceful, while being intriguing in eclectic architecture: worth a walk-around even if you're staying elsewhere. Good tips on local spots/entertainment from Lisa - location is within easy walking distance of good food, shopping and entertainment. I would definitely stay there again.

5509268,30268654,2015-04-19,31345407,Michael B.,"Great place, great location!  Clean and nice, just what I was looking for.  Thanks!"
5509268,30907646,2015-04-28,16538797,Emily,"I had a lovely time at Lisa's. I booked very last minute for a conference, and her place was well located and appointed. It was great having access to the garden (coming from NYC, hearing the birds was definitely a highlight). The accommodations were ideal for one person, and her dogs are super cute. Thank you for having me!"
5509268,32655085,2015-05-19,33382785,Erin,"Cozy room with privacy. Short and pretty walk down the street to SOCO. We loved the mosaic garden outside of the walkway- and the dogs out back were very sweet and calm. 
Affordable, cozy and convenient space. Highly recommend. "
5509268,33594596,2015-05-30,14166288,Adam,"The studio was great.  Wonderful location.  Clean and nice.  Lisa was very welcoming and positive.  We had tons of rain the week I was there, but I got a chance to enjoy the yard some.  This is a unique, one-of-a-kind spot.  I would definitely stay here again."
5509268,34475831,2015-06-08,29636657,Sarah,"Lisa was a kind and thoughtful host. The neighborhood was beautiful and peaceful. A charming retreat! 
We loved how close to downtown Austin this location was. It was a perfect little private space for us to retreat to after our long days out exploring the city. Lisa allowed us our privacy, which was lovely."
5509268,46892207,2015-09-14,32001310,Brian,"Lisa did a great job making me feel comfortable in the SoCo Artists Bungalow. She was very kind when I ran into her, but also gave me plenty of privacy. The room was cozy and clean, and the bed was really comfortable. "
5509268,49763332,2015-10-06,29650599,Zoe,Didn't get to meet Lisa but she was very easy to contact and everything was in order when I arrived. The room is very private and had everything that I needed for a weekend visit.
5509268,50619339,2015-10-13,8688055,Tara,Lisa was very easy to communicate with during our stay in Austin for ACL! She was quick to respond and seemed very easy going. She even got a second bike out for us even though we never got around to using them! The place was exactly as described and perfect for us! Easy entry so we could come and go as we needed. The backyard was lovely and the dogs were sweet. Would definitely like to stay here again in the future! 
5509268,51337139,2015-10-19,14324972,Judd,"This is a unique and interesting space.The room is quite private even though part of a larger, group living environment. Lisa was around, working in her studio and made herself available but in a non-intrusive way, seemingly respectful of a guest's privacy. The area is gorgeous and it was nice to borrow a bike and quickly be on south congress or downtown."
5509268,52086933,2015-10-26,33978960,Gina,"This was a perfect place for us. Loved the garden and would have loved to use the bikes if not for the rain. Awesome Keurig coffee maker and soap products supplied   
Will definitely go again. "
5293851,28044236,2015-03-16,20409997,Steve,Cecilia's place was clean and eclectic and inviting. Everything was just as she said it would be. The neighborhood is near the university and walkable to the convention center and 6th street (although I used Uber and Lyft most of the time). I would stay here again!
5293851,28316778,2015-03-22,27526501,Ashley,"Cecilia was very responsive to my initial request for accommodations and answered all my questions in thorough detail making me feel like I was in good hands. The place is exactly as pictured; very warm and inviting. I was arriving later than normal ""check in hours"" and Cecilia made sure that I was able to access the place and provided comprehensive detailed notes on how to locate and access the apartment. I was in Austin for work but it just happened to be SXSW during the same week. She left me local coffee knowing that I would need the caffeine boost in the mornings, as well as left some great recommendations for places to visit while in the area. It's very accessible to a lot of what Austin has to offer; only about 1.5 miles to downtown/convention center and even closer to some other nice restaurants and boutiques. "
5293851,38797505,2015-07-18,38282559,Glenn,Everthing was as advertised. Great room in a great location. Very nice hostess.
5293851,49658815,2015-10-05,42803021,Enrique,"I was there for ACL, Cecilia answered immediately on questions I had. The place is well located and as advertised, fun stay. "
5293851,50319807,2015-10-11,20279144,Gustavo,Very good neighbourhood in terms of quietness and closeness to city center and UT campus. Cecilia was very welcoming and attentive. Place looks the same in real life as it does in the pictures and I recommend staying in the apartment.
4179399,21486149,2014-10-18,725480,Nick,"I had an amazing time at this house. The entire TurnKey team (Erica, Melissa, and Miguel) was attentive and made the whole process very easy for me. If I ever make it back to Austin I'm definitely thinking about staying here again!"
4179399,22667723,2014-11-11,22550391,Steve,A wonderful cottage in the lovely Clarksville area. I walked quite a bit as there are fun restaurants nearby. Definitely will look into booking this again!
4179399,23169753,2014-11-24,4552315,Emily,"We loved Erica's house in Clarksville - everything was so clean and tidy, it looked brand new! Erica was very helpful and communicative - she even arranged for an iron to be brought to us (in the middle of a thunderstorm) because there wasn't one in the property! We'd love to come back and explore the area more, and stay for longer."
5122004,28739643,2015-03-29,29215467,Nathan,"The stay at Heather's place was great. Slept 3 people comfortably,she provided an air-mattress for our 3rd person. The house was easily walk-able to west, downtown and east 6th street. South Congress, Rainey street and West University or also walk-able, just a little further. Very easy, laid-back stay."
5122004,29748686,2015-04-12,12762697,Lauren,"This house was a GREAT choice. Check in and check out was seamless, the house was even better than expected. This place was the perfect location and distance from all the attractions my friend and I were searching for. If you're looking for a quaint house to rent with character and some outdoor space close to lots of happening spots, this is the place for you!"
5122004,30321595,2015-04-20,14204201,Chelsea,"The house was a great distance to downtown -- definitely walkable/bikeable to many great restaurants and shops, but far enough away from downtown that the neighborhood was peaceful and the house was affordable. The house had plenty of space and amenities, and the backyard was spacious and quiet. It was a great retreat for us and we had a great stay! Thanks!"
5122004,31202279,2015-05-03,5348602,Celine,"We didn't meet Heather personally, but were in touch with her over the phone, and greeted by her friend.
The house is perfect, well furnished and very comfy, with a nice backyard and front porch. We felt like home and were very sad to leave!
It is well located in East Austin, you can even walk to downtown if you're not too lazy, or you can ride a bicycle if you like it. 
Definitely a perfect play to stay in!
Thanks a lot Heather, we definitely come back to your place if we visit Austin again!"
5122004,31653646,2015-05-08,30859728,Michael,"We had a great time in Austin and staying at Heather's house was the perfect base to explore the city. It's an easy walk to Downtown. In the end - despite checking out loads of places around Austin,  we thought that the best bars and restaurants were all just a few minutes walk from Heather's house - it's in a perfect location. The house itself was great, in a nice peaceful area and provided us with everything we needed. Heather and Angela were really helpful. I would book this place straight away if I return to Austin. Thanks for letting us stay here and making it a great break. "
5122004,31816017,2015-05-10,31311173,Chris,"Heather's home was very easy to love.  Small, eclectic and fun.  Very accessible and laid back.  It's decorated very simple and has great spaces for working, inside and out. The back porch is really cool!  

We talked with Heather a few weeks ahead of time, then a few days before. When we landed, she shot us text to check-in and confirm times. This being my first rental, she made the process very easy.  I would recommend Heather's Sunny house in East Austin to anyone trying to get of the grid. 
"
5122004,33170539,2015-05-25,4027189,Rachael,"Heather was a great host and provided us with a great apartment to stay in while we were in Austin. The apartment is exactly how the pictures appears, no surprises! It is clean, warm, and open. Even though Heather was out of town, she insured that the keys were ready for us. There were no hiccups in getting settled in! I really recommend staying with Heather!"

1856271,10912119,2014-03-12,11697628,Gino,"This rental was great. House was in great condition, spotless and clean. Had coffee, treats, water, soda all stocked as well. Only about 7-10 minute drive to downtown, lots of restaurant options nearby, convenient busstop right on the corner to downtown. "
1856271,15374060,2014-07-07,8617820,Diana,"This house was amazing! We had a party of 6 stay for the 4th of July weekend. The house was spacious, equipped with brand new appliances, and very well kept. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole weekend and the house topped off our stay. 

The location of the house is close to everything- minutes away from south congress and downtown. Easy access to the highway.

What made the stay even more great was the host- Jill. She was a phone call/text away. She was very accommodating. We needed an air mattress and she went out and bought one the night prior to our arrival. She periodically would check on us and made sure we were comfortable in the home. I will definitely recommend this place to others! 

Thanks again Jill!"
1856271,19964813,2014-09-21,13812063,Monica,"Jill was an amazing host! She provided some snacks, water, and coffee. The home was just as listed and was spotless when we walked in. The rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was clean and fully stocked, including toiletries. The location is great because there are some restaurants and food trucks that are walking distance. Downtown is only about a 10-15 min drive. We're hoping that on our next visit to Austin we can stay again. "
1856271,21541726,2014-10-19,16171547,Micaela,"Stayed here for a long weekend with a group of girls for a bachelorette party and I have to say we picked the perfect place! Jill was so sweet and accommodating, totally flexible with check-in/out and forgotten items. The house is in a great location, close to everything but far enough away that you can still relax and sleep in. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for everyone (6 people), and it appears they're building an addition so there will be even more room soon! Also lots of parking on the driveway and street. There were lots of extra towels and toiletries in case anything was forgotten, plenty of closet space and extra blankets-very cozy stay! We were greeted with snacks and plenty of water as well-all in all it was a wonderful weekend. Would definitely stay again! "
1856271,22258600,2014-11-02,22544993,Michael,"My guests and I stayed an entire weekend and the house was absolutely wonderful for everyone. The fridge was stocked with water, snacks and coffee were readily available, extra toiletries were provided, and the house was clean and well decorated. The house was exactly as depicted and we almost didn't want to leave! The house was in a great location, with easy access to the highway, downtown, and many restaurants. There is ample parking available and the neighborhood was delightful. There is currently an addition being built (including another bathroom!), which when completed will make this house even more perfect as it already is. I highly recommend staying here and will definitely try to stay here again when we are back in town. Thanks for everything!"
1856271,22545205,2014-11-09,22734482,Caroline,"This house was beautiful and in a great location, and Jill was a great host!! She had all the information to me days before we came, and even included a list of restaurant suggestions. The house was spotless when I got there, and she had left us snacks and water bottles. The house was equipped with everything, from kitchen supplies to toiletries. The location was perfect - 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from downtown, restaurants within walking distance. The house was decorated nicely, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place!!"
1856271,23438185,2014-12-01,10573152,Dasha,"We have stayed at Jill's house with family for a Thanksgiving weekend. The house is amazing! Everything is set up and decorated with taste, it's very clean and cozy. There were a lot of little things that made us feel welcome: snacks, bottled water, toothpaste and mouth rinse and a lot more! We've had a great time at the house, thank you so much!"
1856271,24783152,2015-01-02,25133691,Andrew,"This house exceeded all expectations! We are a family of 8 and traveled from Australia to Texas. When we arranged this house through Jill we thought it looked lovely, and when we arrived.. it was perfect. It was exceptionally clean which was of particualr importance to us as we were travelling with a 3 month old baby. The house has three exceptional bedrooms in the front and then an almost separate living area at the back with another bed/living area including a really comfortable murphy bed and big, new, clean bathroom.. and Netflix!
Jill, the host, is delightful and very helpful. She stocked the house with all the essentials, coffee, water, snacks, beer! etc, and it was exceptional southern hospitality. We were overwhelmed by her generosity, attention to detail (the house was beautifully decorated for Christmas at the time of our Dec/Jan stay). 
The area of the house is a short 2 min drive to lovely restaruants on South Congress. We were also able to walk to to the store to buy goods, walk to the local gastro pub and get Torchy breakfast tacos. 
Jill left us a comprehensive list of restaurants in the area we could drive to as well, which we utilized.. Elizabeth St Cafe Vietnamese was exceptional food!
And for those who use Uber like us, there were plenty of Uber's in the area, even on New Year'e Eve!
You should stay here if you want a lovely big home in Austin which is not far from Sth Congress, but nice and quiet in terms of street noise. A big iron gate also spearates you from the street which is just another added bonus.
We haven't a bad thing to say about this house. Thank you so much Jill. We loved Austin and will be back one day!"
1856271,25532260,2015-01-18,11758897,David,"We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival how comfortable and spacious the place was. There was plenty of space for the four of us and they were able to accomodate our last minute booking. Overall, I would highly recommend great location and plenty of space."
1856271,26548844,2015-02-15,26843570,Chris,"We had a group of 9 from my family that came to Austin for the marathon weekend, and we were looking for a place that we could spend some enjoyable time together.  This house completely exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.  Jill was a fantastic host, and was very accessible if we needed anything.  The house was very tastefully renovated, and Jill's extra touches with snacks, toiletries, information about local eateries, etc, made the experience that much better.  I can't recommend this house and host highly enough! "
1856271,28350563,2015-03-22,29175904,Frank,"The listing said we could easily fit 9 people in the house, which may be true but not comfortably. The house is smaller than what it looks like on the picture provided. We were all very cramped. This house does not suit on the go business people. Also the mattress that was in the ""newly renovated garage/ master bedroom"" seemed to be very old and cheap. It had no support in it at all and in turn, after sleeping on what I thought would be the best bed in the house, I woke up with significant back pains. I felt like I was sleeping on a bean bag. The house also includes a smart tv plug in device in the master bedroom as well, but we were not able to even use all of the functions for that because most of the services required a subscription. I think that if I am paying for a house like this, I should be able to use and access all the amenities included to the fullest. "
1856271,28721182,2015-03-29,26326755,Marta,"What a great find! From the moment my group walked in, we felt at home. The place is beautifully decorated and comfortable, and it came stocked with snacks, drinks, and toiletries for our party. We would've loved to have had more time at the house (and to have taken advantage of the amazing grill and sitting area out back) had we not packed so much into our itinerary. To my relief, my friends endlessly commented about how nice the house was. And our one question was answered so quickly. I'll remember this place for any future trips to Austin. Thanks, Jill!"
1856271,29747395,2015-04-12,5988303,Heather,"This house was clean and organized. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the internet signal was strong. Jill was a great host, leaving lists of restaurants, snacks, and lots of other little amenities that made us feel taken care of. The location was central to Austin - close to downtown and close to the freeway. While the house is close to a busy street, it isn't that noticeable when you're inside."
1856271,30201627,2015-04-19,27974909,Lauren,"We really enjoyed our time at this home. There were snacks, coffee,  and water there when we arrived, and everything we had asked for (air bed set up with linens and pillows) was ready and waiting. 

The house was perfect for our group of 9 plus 2 little ones, & we spent 4 days in town for a wedding. The listing was exactly as pictured/described. The neighborhood was fine. Not the best, but not the worst. The house is located in a great spot central to everything, which was a plus. :) 

Also, Jill was great! She quickly answered any questions we had (nearest supermarket, expectations for departure), and took care of an air bed with a leak while we were all out at the rehearsal dinner!  "
1856271,33359418,2015-05-27,2495855,David,"We were a group of 7 adults and 3 children and stayed for a week in May. We were delighted with the house and its location near to South Congress.  Everything was exactly as described, the furniture is all in really good condition and Jill's extra touches (the fruit, snacks and drinks) made it feel like home as soon as we walked in.  The children loved sleeping on the airbeds and the house felt roomy even with all of us there.  The garden is beautifully landscaped.  Jill could not have been more helpful and I thoroughly recommend the house to others."
1856271,37228823,2015-07-05,12061077,Stephanie,Jill's house was wonderful!! Everything was described. Our group has a great time relaxing. We really enjoyed the outside patio!! it was so peaceful and relaxing. Her house was located near a lot of restaurants we were interested in visiting!! Would love to book with her again next time!
1856271,38275877,2015-07-14,33227923,Lowell,"Jill is amazing. Period. She's professional, kind, and courteous. The house & location are perfect. I wouldn't do Austin any other way."
1856271,38931895,2015-07-19,21129968,Nathan,"Our group of 4 married couples loved Jill's place. She was quick to respond via the AriBNB app and answer our questions. The house had a great outdoor area where we grilled and played games in the scenic yard. Although we were close to streets like Congress and 1st the house felt quiet and secluded enough. We had plenty of room for everyone and we all slept well after long days/nights visiting the river, downtown and the springs. The actual house was affordable and exceeded our expectations and the AirBNB description. Thank you Jill for providing a perfect spot for us to chill and catch up!"
1856271,41867539,2015-08-09,40135269,Miguel,"All I can say is WOW.  This house surpassed my expectations, the layout is great and spacious, closed to trendy and fun attractions.  Jill did an awesome job communicating and making me feel welcomed. Left very detailed information and guidelines, just an amazing experience :)"
1856271,46154403,2015-09-08,5525698,Alicia,"Jill was a great host. She was very accommodating. Her house was central to all the activities we had planned. Everything in the house was amazing extra towels, nice kitchen, great bathrooms, comfortable rooms. We would definitely boom again. "
1856271,47679601,2015-09-21,38855377,Kelly E.,"Jill is a wonderful host who helped accommodate our new arrival times at the last minute & was very gracious.  House is wonderful and great location.  Would highly recommend you try it out!
"
1856271,48583076,2015-09-27,43498116,Zac,"House was just as described and more.  Jill offered everything we needed for our stay and was quick to answer any questions by text.  


Thanks!"
1856271,50266344,2015-10-11,31882061,Cory,"We had 9 people staying at Jills place and it was an amazing experience. We showed up to a very clean and comfortable house. Snacks and water were provided and she had the most epic backyard!! I give this place 2 thumbs up. Also cab/uber rides downtown were $10-15, so not to bad. Jill kept her distance but was an easy call away. THANK YOU A TON! This place gave us the icing on the cake to our weekend celebration."
1856271,51111808,2015-10-18,36114276,Ryan,"Lovely home, immaculately clean when we arrived.  Snacks and water provided.  The house has a wonderful back yard and was walking distance to many great bars and restaurants.  The host was very responsive and even made sure we arrived and had everything we needed.  I would highly recommend this home!   "
1856271,51952042,2015-10-25,36968201,Ryan,"Jill was very accommodating, and super easy to work with. Communication was great beforehand. The house was very nice, and was a great spot for a group of people, especially since there are four separate bedrooms. The house is a quick drive to downtown. She also left some food for us, which was awesome. Probably the best Airbnb I have stayed at!"
4936914,27064559,2015-02-24,27153398,Pete,"Fantastic place. Warm, well decorated and appointed, and ideally located - minutes from any part of Austin we wanted to go.  

Gerard is a fantastic host. Pleasant personality and extremely helpful with anything that we needed. He provided a warm welcome to my girlfriend and I, and our two dogs (he mentioned the concrete floors were great for dogs, and he was right).

The dogs especially appreciated the big yard. We enjoyed the easy parking, quiet neighborhood and overall wonderful comfort of the space Gerard provided.

If/Whenever we head back to Austin and need a place, we're definitely going to check the availability of this place."
4936914,28418003,2015-03-23,28477364,Madison,A group of coworkers and myself stayed at Gerard's house the week of SXSW and had an amazing time! We all completely fell in love with his house. Such an accommodating host making sure everything was going smoothly all week. He even brought us muffins and wine! Couldn't have asked for a better stay. 
4936914,29876047,2015-04-13,15689613,Ellen,"Gerard coordinated with my husband to provide keys.  It was easy and the location was close to the activities we had planned.  The home is comfortable, beautifully decorated and clean.  Our daughter, who used the air mattress, said it was comfortable.  We enjoyed the yard and kitchen when we invited our Austin friends to the house.  Gerard did a wonderful job of making us feel welcomed.  We appreciated being able to stay in his home. "
4936914,30338050,2015-04-20,29764181,Nancy,Everything was great.  Thank you
4936914,33324359,2015-05-26,1209043,Theresa,"Gerard was a great host and his home was inviting and immaculate! He was very flexible with our arrival and departure times. Upon arrival, he was there to greet us with wine and pastries and gave us a tour of his home. The location is in a quiet neighborhood and is a short drive to Austin's hot spots. I would definitely recommend staying at Gerard's home! "
4936914,52972024,2015-11-03,8817506,Adam,"Gerard was such a gracious host! He walked us through everything in the house, and made us feel very welcome. Our stay was very long, but he had no issues with us staying an extended period. The house had everything we needed; cookware, washer / dryer, etc. We weren't wanting for anything that we weren't provided."
8389915,48822529,2015-09-28,44762540,Sean,"David & Elen's studio apartment was perfect. The property is brand new and very nicely done. There is everything you might want to stay for a fun weekend in Austin. You're very near both SOCO and downtown, but the location has a private feel with lots of great trees and a private drive up to the apartment so you don't feel like you're in the way. I would recommend it to anyone looking to visit Austin for events or for locals who want to get away for a weekend."
8389915,50671167,2015-10-13,25333698,Mary,"David and Ellen were amazing hosts! They made us feel so welcome without infringing on our personal space and were always willing and available to help with anything that came up.  Their welcome notes were very helpful too!  We went to several of the local spots they suggested and they were all awesome and places we can't wait to go back to.  The description of their studio is very accurate and it's just a really wonderful, really clean, and beautiful space; I would absolutely try to stay there again whenever I go back to Austin. The neighborhood is fantastic as well, quiet and local but really close (within walking distance) to so much of the great stuff happening in downtown Austin - music, food, and more food! Many thanks again to David and Ellen for providing a really sweet place to stay; awesome meeting you and cannot wait to go back!"
8389915,51226411,2015-10-18,43452488,Shelley,"This was our first Airbnb experience and I have to say it was wonderful. David & Ellen's brand new studio above the garage  is perfect for a couple. It has all the comforts of home. David & Ellen left a little basket of goodies on the counter and a wonderful little note telling us of their favorite things to do.
The neighborhood is great. Restaurants and Food Trucks (which are so good) a block away. Easy traveling by bus. One route is a block away and the other is 4 blocks. Get's you to just about anywhere you want to see. Late night music venues are easy to get to by taxi. 
When we come back to Austin, we'll definitely check out the studio again."
3914437,19183634,2014-09-07,20986653,Jeffrey,Anna was an awesome host and has a beautiful small home. She gave me some great local reccommendations for nearby places to eat and drink as well. The only drawback was that I couldn't stay longer. Had a great time!
3914437,20044454,2014-09-22,13446201,David,Anna has a beautiful house in a residential area. She did everything she could to make me feel welcome. I would definitely recommend staying here.
3914437,21690078,2014-10-21,22093814,Jake,Colleen (Anna) made me feel welcome. The room was set up and she lived in a very cool neighborhood. Even offered food and coffee from her own home. 
3914437,21899660,2014-10-26,22079878,Olivia,"I had a fabulous time! The house is beautiful, the room clean and cozy, and Anna Colleen is supremely accommodating, laid back, and very nice. I definitely recommend her and her home very highly."
3914437,22516832,2014-11-08,21340761,Deborah,"I will start with the positives. Colleen seems like a sweet girl and the house is as stated...a cute bungalow and is  very clean.  In my opinion, the problems start with the fact that she is clueless about what it should mean to be a host to travelers, and absolutely no effort is made to assure their comfort.  When I booked the room, agreeably same day as arrival, there was no communication to me that she would not be home until 7:30/8:00 or any greeting regarding my arrival. I discovered this when I texted her. Rather than make arrangements to greet me, she asked me to come to a restaurant about 10-15 minutes away to get a key.  

I have lived in cities my whole life, but let me say that this neighborhood is truly ""inner city"", so if you are skittish about this, it is probably not a good choice for you. Her posting does state that this room has a twin bed and when I inquired about this prior to booking, she stated,  ""everyone has found it to be comfortable."" What I found was a hard twin mattress and box spring on the floor and no towels to be found in the bathroom....I was able to dig some out of a hall closet. Perhaps I was spoiled by the 3 previous airbnb spaces I had rented during my travel to San Antonio and Austin which had pillow top queen beds and baskets of fluffy towels, but I found this completely unacceptable. 

After a few hours sleep, I awoke looking forward to a hot shower, as I had to drive to San Antonio for my flight home. What I found was only cold water despite all efforts to adjust the faucet and letting the water run for a long while.  I had to settle for a cold shower and shampoo to start my long day. As I was preparing to leave, Colleen appeared from her room and stated she was unaware of the water situation and that she would check on it. Frankly, the time to check that everything is satisfactory for your guest, is BEFORE you rent the room."
3914437,22669565,2014-11-11,4051481,Maria,"Resulta muy agradable estar en esta casa tan bien decorada, limpia... La anfitriona ha estado pendiente de que todo fuera bien y también ha mostrado los lugares a donde ir en Austin"
3914437,23142333,2014-11-23,17173996,Dakota,"The space is cute and clean. Still no hot water which was in another guests review a few months back. Even after running it for 20 minutes it didn't get hot. Host should have fixed this! If you are wanting to go to South Congress for shopping and food or out to 6th and Rainey Street its a 15-20 dollar lyft. We spent close to $200 on transportation because the house is far out from the hip parts of Austin. The host didnt interact with us much, but we like having our own space.  So if you like hosts that are around a lot this is not for you! I wouldn't stay again just because of the (email hidden)d I expect hot showers!"
3914437,37119078,2015-07-04,1185199,Kathryn,"Anna was such a wonderful and welcoming host. Her place is beautiful and immaculate, and I felt like I had everything I needed. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. I hope to be back :). "
3914437,40813646,2015-08-02,38778460,Samantha,"I loved it! Colleen was very welcoming and accommodating--a perfect host. The house and bedroom were very clean and presentable, and she had everything ready to go (towel, toiletries, etc.). She's great at communicating as well: always keeping me in the loop and giving timely responses. "
3914437,47007509,2015-09-14,16224774,Laura,"Colleen was a lovely host. Her place is adorable and perfect for 1 person. Read the description and you'll note ""twin"" bed, and the room had space enough for my silly overload of suitcases, the Bath is across the hall and perfect, the back patio was a lovely sot for morning joe. The price was right and my Lyft rides w/tip were $13. Figured out how to cut that in half by parking at the HEB on 7th and Lyft part way! 
Moment of truth: it is deep, meaning the up & coming neighborhood has a long way to go and there are some sketchy characters on the bigger streets, BUT her neighbors were lovely. Rent a car, you'll have no problems! Thank you Doll!"
3914437,47930633,2015-09-21,6857455,Eric,Had a great stay at Anna's place.  Communication with her was easy and quick.  Her place is decorated very nicely.  It was an easy $10 uber ride into downtown. 
3914437,50816258,2015-10-14,178413,Andy,"Overall a good stay. It suited my needs for 3 days. Thanks Anna!
First the positives: Anna has a beautiful, clean and well kept  home and makes you feel comfortable from the start. I always felt welcomed and enjoyed my stay. I would recommend for friends to stay here, with the right attitude.
And now not really negatives, but things for potential guests to be aware of: Having read a few of the reviews, I knew I needed to have a car and that the neighborhood was not sterile. With an open mind and knowledge of how Austin has grown over time, the neighborhood isn't quite as rough as it might at first appear.  "
3914437,51364194,2015-10-19,1606613,Baberaham,anna colleen was a charming hostess and made for a great first air b&b experience! her home was super comfortable and clean; she made herself accessible for any pointers or help navigating the city but also gave me my space and privacy as a guest. excellent experience! highly recommended! thank you! :) 
3914437,52103284,2015-10-26,39193423,Jordon,"I was looking for a place for the Forumla 1 races at cota and came across Anna's place. She was extremely friendly and very accommodating. The room was simple, yet had all of the basic necessities you need to be satisfied. She let me park my car in the driveway rather than the street which was extremely reassuring since it cost $40k! God forbid anything happen to it by some stupid driver. She recommended me to nice bars on rainey street and was very nice to talk to me personally about other things when I was drunk.  She is probably one of the most fun and best airbnb hosts I have had and made the experience extremely positive. She has a very nice comfortable place and would recommend it to anyone. The bathroom\shower was very clean and the patio is very nice shame the rain kept me away from it. I wouldn't be too deterred but the surrounding neighborhood as it is quiet and reserved. She made my stay a great one. Thanks anna!!!!"
8098091,48665905,2015-09-27,33448534,Jessica,We felt very welcomed. The room was very clean. We will definitely stay there again. 
8098091,52234016,2015-10-27,11052142,Wendy,"We stayed at Abrahams upscale home and would give the whole experience a perfect 10! Clean, comfortable, secure, gorgeous home with plenty of space, privacy and amenities. The master bedroom is huge with large windows overlooking a lush hillside and lake. The bathroom is massive with a shower, double sinks and two person jacuzzi.  Equally important is Abraham and his s character, trustworthy, honest, caring and generous. He went out of his way to ensure we had an awesome vacation, making us breakfast, letting us use the garage and kitchen and he has great recommendations for things to do in the area. Loved the neighborhood in the hill country close to everything. I would highly recommend staying here and stay again if we return to Austin."

6003946,30370021,2015-04-20,30676269,Rosa,"My partner and I, were visiting Austin with another couple for the Reggae fest. I must admit, with this being my first time using Airbnb, I was a nervous wreck. Upon arrival, Mary Jo's boyfriend welcomed us and helped us carry everything in, making check in go smoothly. The place was just like the description and pics. Mary Jo did a great job making sure we had everything we needed, even went as far as buying eggs for us to eat (although we all were too lazy to cook) Staying here was was relaxing and very cozy, at one point I even caught my self referring to it as ""home"". I really enjoyed that the place was big enough to have privacy between the two couples. One of the nights we decided to take an Uber ride down to 6th street and it was only about 15 min away, cost was $14 (we got it for free for it being the 1st time). Will definetly be returning to this place next time we visit Austin.  Location, space, and host is great. She also has some great food recommendations, make sure to try Threadgills. Thank you Mary Jo for being so attentive and for giving me a great 1st experience with AirBnb!"
6003946,30746004,2015-04-26,30607628,Amy,We had a very nice (email hidden)'s. There was more than enough room for the 2 of us and could easily accommodate more guests if you needed it. Great location near plenty of places to eat and a close drive/uber ride to downtown. 
6003946,31261471,2015-05-03,32059607,Eva,"Mary Jo was was very kind and great at communicating. I definitely felt welcomed into her home, which we found to be exactly as listed if not better! The place was amazingly clean and organized, absolutely beautiful and had a really great vibe and we also had access to all the comforts we could need. The neighborhood was very beautiful, quiet and relaxing, and was definitely great with quick and easy access to stores nearby as well access to the highways to get around town. I would definitely enjoy staying here again! "
6003946,33761060,2015-05-31,4346615,Nick,"Mary Jo was AMAZING! She made the place ready for my 5 friends and I with little more than 2 hours notice around 7 or 8 pm on a Saturday evening. The place was exactly as pictured, clean and had fruit and water bottles out. The shower had new loufas and plenty of towels.

We enjoyed the piano, and ukulele, and the overall ""homeiness"" which made this Austin trip all that much more special. 

Upon leaving we found the Wii and games, and had about 1 second of regret for not noticing it earlier, but then remembered the epicness of what happened the night before :)

Thanks Mary Jo!!!"
6003946,35758625,2015-06-21,34185107,Jayla,She took me in last minute! Everything was clean and in order. Even her cat is friendly :)

6003946,38071295,2015-07-12,13307306,Tia,"Mary Jo, truly made our stay in Austin a great one and very easy to book since she is very quick to respond. Her Townhome was more than enough room for the 6 of us. It's conveniently located near restaurants, a gas station, the freeway and grocery store. We were able to catch a quick ride to 6th street which was even better. Her place is very peaceful and relaxing and she is very accommodating as we checked out later than planned. We will definitely be back!!"
6003946,38965281,2015-07-19,38684651,Joseph,Place was great. The guests loved the experience.

6003946,47138466,2015-09-15,26925876,Criselda,The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6003946,47937910,2015-09-21,3620362,Noah,Mary Jo was awesome! Nice place about a $10 Uber ride to downtown.

6490112,33339341,2015-05-26,33979326,Doug,"As an old, O/C hypercritical germaphobe it pains me more than I can say to admit that this initial experience with airbnb was, well... lovely!  The space was immaculate and well stocked, and by that I mean  organic chocolates, gourmet coffee, and intoxicating hand soaps.  I awoke in a quiet arboreal space punctuated by the sound of doves.  Honestly, that is true...it could have been scripted.  The neighborhood is sedate, private and quite safe.  Still, one is only 10 minutes from the thick of downtown, should that be your thing.  Mary was a dear host who has anticipated the needs of discriminating guests.  I am a new convert to airbnb and when I return to Austin - this laid back tree house will be my first choice.  Thanks, Mary! "
6490112,42774796,2015-08-15,21487201,Trevor,"The neighborhood is amazing, Amy and Will were terrific hosts. They sincerely made me feel at home and the whole experience was wonderful. The listing is exactly as described and some! Barton Springs is so close, you will love the proximity! I will definitely be staying here again, and I recommend you do too.   "
6490112,45635977,2015-09-04,39947637,Caton,"The Treetop Barton Hills Studio is beautiful, full of light with gorgeous views of the trees. It was extremely comfortable and well designed. Mary provided us with all the items we needed and the artwork/photographs on the wall are gorgeous. At the same time, the lack of clutter made it a perfect place to work and relax, (this was one of my favorite things about the space.) Mary is a very friendly person who promptly responded to our request to book and to the questions we had. She welcomed us with some great treats, too!! The location was ideal, as it is near several of Austins well known parks, as well as a short drive from downtown. I highly recommend this studio. It is significantly better than any of the hotels I have frequented in Austin and at a far more reasonable price. It deserves a 5 star rating!!!"
6490112,47936674,2015-09-21,2927288,Tracy,yes yes yes! come stay! a real ATX gem!
6490112,48645138,2015-09-27,43854103,Tom,"We had a marvelous time! The apartment is clean, spacious, airy and perfectly located to enjoy South Austin life and especially south Lamar.  Will definitely plan on staying here again!

Communications with Mary were quick and straightforward and she was very flexible and gracious in going the extra mile to make this a memorable stay for us. This is the kind of experience that makes the AirBNB system s wonderful."
6490112,49423140,2015-10-04,10172013,Kyle,"From before our arrival to the end of our stay, Mary was an amazing host. She was very informative and very helpful. Her apartment is in a perfect location for our ACL weekend. It was about a 20 minute walk to the festival. Her house is in a nice quiet neighborhood and close to all the excitement. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome including having chocolate and drinks for us in the kitchenette area. I would recommend her place to anyone who is wanting to have a good Austin experience. The style and decor of her place had a good Austin vibe and we can't wait to stay here again next year! Thanks Mary!"
6490112,51170007,2015-10-18,32963368,Caryn,"The Treetop Barton Hills Studio apartment is the perfect spot to stay for a weekend in Austin. Mary provides the needed essentials for your first couple of days, including milk, juice, pastries, and coffee. The apartment itself is clean and bright and the location is great. "
4235207,28335369,2015-03-22,1233268,Rodney,We had such a great time in Austin. Our hosts were very nice and let us know the best places to eat. I would recommend this stay. 
4718329,27690717,2015-03-09,28464217,Joseph,"We were planning a weekend away from home in Austin and had been in search for a spot to stay for weeks! Should we do a Hilton Downtown, a condo in the area, or what! We happened to stumble upon this home on AirBnB that covered all of our needs for 2 couples! 3 spacious rooms and 2 restrooms!

The pictures looked great, but I was a little skeptical because I felt like the price and location to downtown was unreal! 

Michelle contacted us and let us know that we will be receiving a unique code the day of our arrival to enter the home. She made everything warm and inviting from the very beginning!

Upon entering the home, we first noticed how meticulously clean it was! The house had been remodeled and done perfectly! For some reason, I went straight to the fridge and opened it to find a 6-pack of firemans 4 blonde ale and some Topo Chico mineral water! WoW!! Talk about thinking of your guests! But that's not all, Michelle even had a bottle of wine for us, full kitchen for us to make breakfast, nutri grain bars, apples, chocolates, and my girlfriends favorites.... Fresh Tulips around the house!! 

The pictures did not do this house justice! The master bedroom has its our restroom with a king size bed that was so comfy  I didn't want to go home! 

My friends took the other room and had a huge TV with Netflix and whatever else they wanted! 

Michelle you are such a wonderful host and we could tell that you really cared and showed us true SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY! This AirBnB really set the bar high for us and it will be difficult to mimic. I hope that every other guests enjoy this home as much as we did. 

We can't wait to come to Austin soon and stay with you again! "
4718329,28224133,2015-03-20,12881797,Allen,"Stayed here during the crazy week that is SXSW and couldn't have chosen a better place.  Everything about it was amazing - very up to date, awesome interior design, we all could not be happier.  Michelle was an amazing host and was extremely accommodating with all of our needs, she got back to us instantly with any questions we had and made us feel very at home.  The location is amazing too! Right next to the river with a great running trail, down the street from a Juice place and food options, and just a quick Uber ride into downtown.  Highly recommended this house, you will not regret it.  Will be staying here again in the future.  Thanks for everything, Michelle! "
4718329,28811419,2015-03-30,28567353,Quincy,"First off let me just start off by saying that Michelle was by far a better host than I could have ever imagined! She went above and beyond the call of duty consistently. If you need a recommendation for a dive-bar with an indie-folk band playing that is affordable on say a college budget... she's got a friend of a friend who is the headliner for that night at the perfect place. She has awesome insight on the city and she is more than willing to try and make your stay as great as possible. For instance she made this monster list of recommendations based off of the interests we had communicated prior to our stay which allowed for us to explore the city day and night without a single moment of boredom.

Shortly after booking the place Michelle was in contact trying to find ways to make sure our stay was comfortable but more importantly awesome. When we arrived after long hours on the road she greeted us at the door with 2 six packs of local beer, some snacks in the kitchen, and ensured that we felt at home and more importantly safe. With that being said I never considered the safety aspect prior to booking but the area is really gentrified and the house has a state of the art security system which kept our minds at ease through out the trip!

The location is prime! It is about a 25-30 minute walk to the heart of downtown and typically about $3-8 Uber from the house to any place that you want to get to. It cost roughly $20 roundtrip total to get to the Austin Rodeo Fairgrounds. There is a local Juice Bar nearby that has killer juice drinks and smoothies. In addition, there are lots of local food trucks and restaurants within a few minutes walk of the house. Check out Scotty's BBQ although it's a food truck the guy who owns the place was hooking us up with some awesome deals and it could rival the greats as far as BBQ in Austin is concerned.  

I've obviously written a lot and this is the first time I've ever felt inclined to write a review but it is honestly because of the fact that Michelle was such an awesome host to my friends and I and we are forever in her debt for such an awesome experience in Austin. "

All the beds were comfortable, the rooms spacious and the neighborhood is convenient to everything there is to do in Austin. Michelle was there when we arrived and was very friendly and welcoming - a gracious host. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could possibly need. Also, Michelle's home is tastefully and artfully decorated. I highly recommend this home and I would definitely stay there again if I'm back in Austin. "
4718329,29749585,2015-04-12,28821076,Cindy,"Amazing house that was perfect for my group of 8! Since me and my friends were off doing a wine tour in TX Hill Country, this house served as a great place to kickback after a long day of wine tastings and yet was close enough to some cool bars when we got our second wind. 

The house itself is decorated beautifully. I appreciate all the Eco-friendly products inside as well. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the sofabed was really really comfortable, I personally slept like a baby on that thing. Michelle even left a bag of complimentary coffee that she had picked up at her fav coffee shop in town (which was delish), a basket of granola bars, and mineral water in the fridge. Nice little added touches that made all the difference. The house had a great security system and really nice appliances if you felt like cooking. 

Michelle was such a great host! I'm sad that we weren't able to meet since she was feeling under the weather but she left very detailed instructions about the whole house, which made things very clear. She would text to check up ever so often, which was very kind and courteous. Michelle's communication is on point. 

This was my first airbnb rental and I was very satisfied with my choice. Will definitely recommend and consider her again when I'm back in town :). 

- Cindy "
4718329,30082733,2015-04-17,25355843,Andrew,"Very nice house with concrete floors, nice sized rooms and well appointed kitchen. The bed mattresses are firm and comfortable. Communication with the hostess was simple and friendly.  Michelle was very kind allowing us a late checkout the departure day.  "
4718329,30297472,2015-04-20,24167710,Saundie,"Michelle was a wonderful host, and the house was absolutely beautiful! I booked the house for my sister's bachelorette weekend, and it worked out just perfectly. Michelle's directions and communications were clear and super helpful! Definitely take her advice on tips and places to go in the city. Despite having a few issues with the booking system, Michelle was super accommodating. I'd book again with her in an instant! "
4718329,30868811,2015-04-28,3690729,Jocelyn,"Michelle's home is in a great location, and is beautifully appointed. My friends and I were extremely comfortable there, and Michelle did everything to make sure we would be, from checking in with us to see if we were happy, to her book of recommendations for local eateries. Her check-in & check-out process is extremely well described and organized, and the amenities of the house (gorgeous kitchen, spacious bedrooms) cannot be beat. We had a wonderful time, and if I am ever in Austin again (and I hope to be) I would definitely want to stay here again. "
4718329,31311308,2015-05-04,28934738,Brian,"Michelle was a great host.  6 of us rented this house for a weekend bachelor party. We had a great time.  Michelle was accommodating,  responsive, and extremely helpful with suggestions.  The house is in great shape.  The neighborhood is a little suspect but it seems to be having a resurgence.  There is a great little juice stand a few blocks away and a bunch of local restaurants. I'm guessing the neighborhood will be becoming more upscale in the next year or so given the renovations I saw going on and the quality of the local restaurants. It's only 15 min from the airport, 5-10 minutes from 6th street (1.9 miles), but at the same time the house is at the end of the street near the river so it's nice and quiet. I would absolutely stay there again."
4718329,31738367,2015-05-09,32147611,Joni,"This was the perfect place for us to stay & enjoy our outdoor lifestyle. Lots of space  and close to the bike trails! Michelle was a great host, I was a first timer w/airbnb & she pleasantly answered my million questions, she even placed several items in the frig along w/ stocking us up with local fresh ground coffee & yummy mineral waters. The decor & furnishing are beautiful. Made for a wonderful experience & we can't wait to come stay again. Thank you Michelle, you went above & beyond!!!!"
4718329,31901322,2015-05-11,13065700,Jaanhvi,"Michelle's house was beautiful - it had comfortable beds, fun decorations, and lots of space. It was perfect for my family vacation (6 people + 1 baby) over Mother's Day weekend. Michelle was very communicative throughout, and we had a few issues with the bathrooms, but she helped us fix that immediately. She was a wonderful host, also leaving us a bottle of wine to celebrate, and some Topo Chico. The house is in a nice part of East Austin - uber rides weren't too expensive wherever we wanted to go. Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Michelle's lovely home. "
4718329,32121231,2015-05-14,3221448,Darden,"We enjoyed our stay in Austin at this house. The rooms are spacious and the furnishings including the beds are very comfortable. Great location close to downtown and at the same time quiet and off the beaten path. The neighborhood is ""transitional"" with some low income properties however we felt quite safe and enjoyed the diversity."
4718329,32533165,2015-05-19,30987169,Dwain,"Michelle was a joy to work with throughout the entire process.  A very good communicator on multiple levels.  The lovely accommodations were exactly as advertised and we could not have been more pleased.  The location was convenient for all of our events downtown, on 6th Street and South Congress.  This was our first Airbnb experience and it was a good one.  "

4718329,34167536,2015-06-05,34406088,Shawn,"This is the coolest house!  From the beginning of my stay Michelle was  so helpful and accommodating.  Everything was well planned and thought thru.  She made my airbnb experience one of the best!  
The house is spacious.  All three bedrooms are unique and well decorated.  The house and its furnishings had a very calming effect on me and felt like my own private east-side sanctuary.  This neighborhood has gone through lots of changes and is now very desirable and cool.  The walkability is great and there's even close access to the hike and bike trail.  I will recommend this listing to family and friends.  Great experience!"
4718329,34717359,2015-06-11,28583992,James,"Host was awesome, house was awesome, you wont be disappointed!"
4718329,35548282,2015-06-20,30481202,Reginald,"This was my first try with Airbnb, and definitely not the last. Michelle is the perfect host, i didn't know what to expect after having traveled around the world in hotels 2 to 5 stars. I was amazingly surprise by Michelle professionalism, kindness, and all the little details you would expect in a 5 star hotel, like little chocolate on the bedside table, refreshment drinks in the fridge, soap, shower gel, etc....
i could write pages about this place but i'm limited by the number of word, so to conclude, great place, very clean, quiet, spacious, best host, all commodities a geek like me would expect (fast ethernet, strong wifi coverage, big TV in one of the bedroom) Air conditioning very powerful, very well located, 5mn from downtown and the best is, when you work at the convention center you don't have to worry about the traffic at all.
Thank you again Michelle for your welcoming smile and the beer in the fridge :-)   "
4718329,35813183,2015-06-22,17398046,Lars,"We really enjoyed our stay with Michelle. Not only is the house extremely comfortable, but Michelle gave us some really excellent recommendations for things to do in Austin.

We'll definitely be back next time we come to Austin."
4718329,36535329,2015-06-29,32625455,Mike,"This house is outstanding. All the amenities and cleanliness you'd expect from a nice hotel, but with a nice comfortable home-like feeling and very nice personal touches -- plus some nice welcome beverages in the fridge to boot. Michelle was very accommodating and nice. She also recommended a Mexican restaurant that I think was the best I've ever had (Licha's Cantina... Phenomenal!) Overall great experience!"
4718329,37309629,2015-07-06,32087946,Peter,"Michelle was a great host. She was there to welcome us and gave us great tips such as visiting Barton Springs in order to make our trip as wonderful as possible. She even stocked the fridge with water and a few local beers not to mention chocolates next to the bed. Her home had an awesome, eclectic style with a lot of space to relax. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking to experience Austin, Tx. "
4718329,38149865,2015-07-13,31240612,Ariel,"Michelle was a fantastic host who went above and beyond and was ready to assist us with any of our needs and questions.  The Artsy, Waterside East Austin home was a great location and a beautiful home to stay in.  We were easily able to go out on the town and explore the trails nearby. "
4718329,39000074,2015-07-20,32069968,Kavita,"Michell’s beautiful home was THE perfect environment for a much needed girls get-away weekend. It was with such ease that I was able to connect with Michelle via the site/text messaging prior to and during our trip.  She had awesome recommendations of places to go to eat, drink and see and had checked-in with us throughout the weekend. The home is just impeccably decorated, with such cute character and not to mention comfortable beyond means. We just LOVED it. Thank you for allowing us to have our first and what hopes to become our annual girls getaway at your home. Looking forward to returning much sooner than later! "

Thanks Michelle "
4718329,45937339,2015-09-07,8557675,Kimmy,"Our stay at Michelle's house was perfect! She provided all necessary information about half an hour prior to check-in time and even called after check-in time to make sure we were able to get inside the house and situated. The house is exactly as depicted in the photographs. It was the perfect spot to host a small and intimate bachelorette party. All of the girls enjoyed the house and all the city of Austin had to offer. Thank you, Michelle, for being so hospitable. "
4718329,46734453,2015-09-13,8309609,Lennie,"The guys loved the house!  It was the perfect place for my husband's annual guys weekend.  Michelle was super responsive and the details to get in the house were great.  The house looked just like the photos...we are partial to the neighborhood since we live down the street :)  But, if I needed a big house, this would be perfect.  There are SO many places within a 2 mile radius.  Hop on some bikes and you can get to all the cool spots or uber it!  Thanks, Michelle!"

The house was perfect for us and everything was in great working condition and extremely clean.  Many little details like a welcome basket, bathroom accessories and others made it even more special.  Michelle is a kind and thoughtful host and went above and beyond in many ways.  I cannot recommend highly enough this property for anyone visiting Austin.  The location is ideal and Michelle will show you what a truly great host is all about."

Everything in the house is really well put together and comfortable. One of us was in a wheelchair and that was a little tricky navigating, but it worked out perfectly for us. Excellent location.

The cottage is in a perfect spot for SXSW, near enough to walk into downtown (around 20mins) but far enough to take a break and relax a bit. Close by is East 6th street which is full of cafe's, bars and food trucks!

Communication and check-in was easy and hassle-free and James made us feel very welcome, leaving us some fresh food and drink.

Highly recommended."

We really enjoyed the front lawn and back porch, and the neighborhood is also really great-- not too far of a walk from downtown and close to the 18th st. cafes, food trucks and shops.

I would definitely recommend this place if you need a quick place to sleep in an up and coming neighborhood. There were lots of cute bars and restaurants close to the house and the major attractions of the city are only a 10 min drive away.

Overall we have a great stay and would absolutely stay with Christopher again!"
8409836,49927211,2015-10-07,43825948,Jing,Christopher was polite and replied to my questions promptly. The location of the house was easily accessible to downtown area. The house was shared by several long or short term tenants. Overall quality can be greatly improved.

1391925,9516331,2014-01-01,8954270,Jessica,"This house was perfect for our recent stay in Austin. The owner was easy to work with and always responded to questions in a timely manner. The house was clean and kid-friendly with lots of kid amenities which made our stay even more enjoyable. The adults could happily enjoy a drink on the patio while the kids jumped on the ever-so-popular trampoline. The location is ideal for shopping, restaurants, coffee and grocery stores (like the Whole Foods on Lamar!) and there are 2 fantastic parks directly across the street. We will certainly return to this house when our travels take us back to Austin.  "
1391925,9961223,2014-01-21,8599534,Joshua,We had two families - four adults and four kids and there was plenty of room. The house was great. The location is very close to lots of things. We highly recommend it.
1391925,10419815,2014-02-18,58670,Chris,"My family and I had a fabulous experience staying at James' house. Beautiful, comfortable, clean, and with enough room for eight people! Everyone loved it and will be trying to book it again the next time they are in town.

As an Austinite myself, I had some idea what the neighborhood would be like, but couldn't imagine just how quaint and quiet it would be, despite being across the street from an elementary school and less than a mile from bustling South Lamar. The backyard is just perfect for relaxing between sightseeing expeditions.

The amenities combined with the great location made everything easy for us. For meals, we could pop out to S. Lamar in minutes, or eat at the beautiful kitchen table and enjoy the sunlight streaming in through the front windows. The driveway fit two of our three cars, but the street out front always had plenty of space and hardly any traffic. Finally, the living room was perfect for bringing everyone together, either on the big comfy couch or on any of plentiful chairs around the house. We didn't watch much TV while in town, but we did enjoy a little late-night FIFA 2014 through the Xbox on the enormous wall-mounted television."
1391925,10935514,2014-03-14,9433020,Riley,"James' house is absolutely wonderful, and James himself is the most accommodating host I have ever met. Myself and the 10 other students that stayed  were blown away by the wonderful artwork around the house and the beautifully active park across the street. If that wasn't enough, James even left us frozen pizzas to cook if we were hungry at the house! Gentleman and a scholar.

We all had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a house to crash at in Austin.

"
1391925,10997690,2014-03-17,9358541,Babak,"James was a great host, giving us our privacy but also being readily available when needed. The house is in a very nice, quiet residential neighborhood, but only a 10 minute drive or cab ride to downtown. Neighbors were very nice (and did not complain about a little bit of noise).  House was amazingly clean, with comfortable beds, large living room area, full kitchen, and guest house in the back yard with two more beds.  Will definitely stay here again when back in Austin with a big group."
1391925,12274967,2014-04-28,12208021,Samantha,"This house was very cute and clean. Everyone had a space in a bed and we had a party of 13. The kitchen is open so it never felt crammed. James was an awesome host and responded to any questions we needed to text him. The neighborhood is friendly and located near a main street in Austin. You can't tell in the pictures but the front porch is big and fun to hang out on, too.
I would highly recommend staying here!"
1391925,12573975,2014-05-05,11757048,Connor,"James home was amazing. It's clean, pretty close to downtown/South Congress, and he has a nice TV setup. We had a group of 10 people meet up for a reunion and we used this as our home base to go out in the city and surrounding area. The kitchen is nice and large, and the backyard is cool and open too. The house is listed as being able to accommodate 10, and with people doubling up on the pull-out sofa and the master bedroom, that's probably the absolute max that it can hold. James is accommodating and flexible!"
1391925,13079691,2014-05-19,13771309,Chris,The neighborhood was really nice. Right across from a park. Very easy to get anywhere in Austin. About 10 minutes to downtown. The place was clean and had all the amenities that you could ask for. Comfortably slept our 8 people. We had a great time for our boys weekend. Thank you James.
1391925,15354034,2014-07-07,17038190,Sean,"James was pretty accommodating. Normal check in is 3PM but we asked to check in at 11:45AM and he was okay with that. The house is nice and looks like the pictures show.

My only complaints are James was a little slow on responding to my messages and the studio out back's A/C did not seem to cool that room so some friends had to sleep in the house on an air mattress the second night.

We would use this house again."
1391925,15716845,2014-07-14,7002861,Marco,"Jame's house was great!  Just what I needed for 10 friends.  Everyone had room to sleep.  The house has cool art work, a nice TV, and SONOS to play any music wirelessly. Great backyard with grill and nice patio area to make a fire, or just lounge with the friends.

James was extremely kind, and came out Saturday morning to replace the A/C in the guest house for us.

Would recommend for anyone with a large group of friends!.  "
1391925,18741564,2014-08-31,19574886,Dan,"This house was a great place to hang out for my buddies Bachelor Party.  The park across the street provided an area to hang out and it was a great place to hang out all day and watch some football with a larger group of guys.  We had a problem with the AC, but James was extremely responsive and helpful.

Would definitely rent this location again!  "
1391925,21534473,2014-10-19,8502159,Garrett,James had everything we needed to have a good time for a large group.  Super clean house with modern amenities.  Great neighborhood and highly used park across the street was perfect for the down time of our trip.
1391925,23103693,2014-11-23,22569856,Ryan,"Great house! We had a group of 9 for a birthday weekend and this house worked out perfectly. Lots of room, great location, and James made it very easy. I would definitely recommend this place for any group"
1391925,24357102,2014-12-27,21410090,Lb,"Nice house, nice neighborhood. The house was as expected except for the fourth bedroom (in the backyard casita with only an air mattress). That was a surprise. We expected 4 bedrooms IN the house."
1391925,25277800,2015-01-11,24461472,Ryan,"James provided an accurate and helpful description of his property. The house is sparsely appointed, but is otherwise very nice. Great neighborhood and location. "
1391925,26025864,2015-02-01,14656432,John,Great house!  Everything you need.  Fourth room is in a guesthouse in the backyard -- pretty cool.   Great location.  Just minutes from South Lamar and a 10 minute drive to downtown.  Highly recommended!
1391925,26276653,2015-02-08,26442675,Christine,James was great - very accommodating in letting us arrive early and leave late! His house is beautiful in a great location and perfect for 10 or more guests.
1391925,27247113,2015-03-01,5054032,Lauren,Great house! Great location! Booked the house for 10 girls for a bachelorette weekend. Everyone had a place to sleep and the house was everything we needed. Spacious and James was quick to respond and make sure that we had everything we needed. It's about a $15 to $20 uber ride to 6th street and about $5 to anywhere on South Congress. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks James!
1391925,27581075,2015-03-08,17841688,Bailey,This is house is perfect! We stayed here for a bachelorette party and it was no more then 10 minutes from 6th street and South Congress. Perfect location and very quiet neighborhood. James was very nice to let us check in at an earlier time. I couldn't have found a better house to celebrate my friends bachelorette party in!
1391925,27921908,2015-03-15,17159262,John,"James was a great host. The house was comfy, very homey, and is setup perfectly to sleep 10 people. You can't beat the location either. School across the street with a bball court, 5min drive to S Congress St and 10mins to downtown. 

I would stay here again."
1391925,28071869,2015-03-17,8845711,Arnold,James was the man. This place was perfect! Will be back next year.
1391925,28303869,2015-03-22,26113466,Brooklyn,We arrived early and the cleaner was still there. James was very accommodating and let us put our stuff inside. The neighborhood was very quiet and right across the street was a school with a park. 
1391925,28594677,2015-03-26,17209834,Lauren,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1391925,28922376,2015-03-31,25429999,C,The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1391925,32487969,2015-05-18,21021505,Sylvia,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1391925,34955398,2015-06-14,31310603,Brian,"We spent a log weekend in Austin with a group of 8 and the house had plenty of room. We were close enough to the city for a quick cab ride in but far enough away for a quiet night in the neighborhood. The house was clean, spacious, and had all sorts of nice amenities. "
1391925,35669417,2015-06-21,7432407,Jose,"James was a great host, access to the house was easy and location to restraunts and 6th street were very convenient. The house had everything we needed and was the perfect size for our group of 12! Definently recommend the house and will be coming back !(:"
1391925,37197150,2015-07-05,11314213,Kendra,"This home is awesome. There are plenty of rooms and beds for accommodating very large groups pretty comfortably, and the amenities are great too! The location was perfect, in a beautiful neighborhood just a 20 minute walk from Barton Springs. An Uber or taxi ride to popular downtown destinations was very affordable from here as well. Highly recommended for a big weekend getaway! "
1391925,38023789,2015-07-12,20575372,Lluvia,"This was a spacious house with a great backyard, and the front porch was a fun place to hang out with friends. Our host was helpful and friendly, and this house is located in a great part of town, which was both convenient and nice. 

The only cons I found with this house were minor: There were a lot of mosquitoes, and other bugs flying around the lights, all while we were outside. We even found a giant dead roach in one of our open bottles. Additionally, there was little space in the refrigerator for our beverages and food items. 

Apart from those two things, we really enjoyed this house and would certainly recommend it to the next person. I had an awesome birthday weekend here!"
1391925,40749466,2015-08-02,21334692,Dolph,"When we first arrived, the house was clean and laid out as stated in the property description with space for several people to sleep comfortably.

Unfortunately, the refrigerator was already full of food, which made it extremely difficult for our group to store all the goodies we brought along with us. The house was also very warm, and took about 2-3 hours to cool to a comfortable temperature. Even worse, within an hour of arrival, we spotted our first live cockroach in the kitchen and later that evening found 3 more throughout the house. The front porch also housed several wasp nests, which was troublesome when we came and went from the house.

The house is conveniently located near lots of great places to visit in Austin, including Zilker Park/Barton Springs and downtown, which was definitely a plus during our stay.

While booking the house, James was good about getting back to most of our inquiries in a timely manner."
1391925,47639667,2015-09-21,854724,Percy,Very spacious house with lots of amenities. It was just a quick ride away to great restaurants and bars. James made it easy for us to access the home. Everything was seamless.
1391925,48493895,2015-09-27,29165950,Mary,The house was great for a larger group (we had 11)  plenty of room for everybody to sleep and hot showers. The house was clean and in great working order.  The neighborhood is quiet with plenty of room for cars.   A quick uber ride to downtown let us celebrate with  our bachelorette party! 
1391925,49421307,2015-10-04,32627723,Maximilian,"James was a fantastic and responsive host.  The house was ideal - clean, well located and well equipped.

Thanks very much!"
8666212,49745031,2015-10-05,43184412,Ansley,"Had the most amazing time in Austin this past weekend and Taylor's place was absolutely perfect. From the location, to the amenities it had, all in all it was great. I would highly recommend staying here if you get the chance the river and city view couldn't be beat. The home was clean and well designed and centrally located a perfect place to stay in Austin! "
5440292,28371000,2015-03-22,29342378,Gregory,Adrian was warm and welcoming and waited well after the time I said I would be there. The room was exactly as advertised - very spacious and clean with a big ensuite bathroom and toilet. The amenities were perfect and there was plenty room in the fridge and kitchen for me!
8002319,49136606,2015-10-01,43002536,Henry,"Had a fantastic stay at Metropolis with Harlo! The room was clean and well-decorated, and Harlo always kept the pantry in stock with all of the essentials. Metropolis is quite a unique location, with colorfully painted exterior walls, roaming outdoor cats, and an artistic community that pulls everything together. At a stellar neighborhood with such a friendly host, you'll be sure to enjoy your stay in Austin as much as I did. "
8002319,50004042,2015-10-08,36048773,Justin,Harlo is extremely welcoming! She made sure I felt right at home and the apartment is in a great location close to downtown. Very nice all around and I plan on staying here again.
4084746,21229804,2014-10-13,8748214,Benjamin,Amazing hosts and amazing place was a short walk to ACL and accommodated our large group very well. The casita was stellar as described.  
4084746,28307780,2015-03-22,26649258,Albert,This was a great experience. Our hosts were great and very welcoming. The house was very spacious and perfect for a large group.
4084746,30670772,2015-04-26,11707197,Brendon,Ana and her husband were fantastic hosts. The house was awesome and perfect for our 10 guys. The guest house was awesome as well. They left a really nice binder of places to get food and some nearby places which was really nice. Location was great too as it's quick Uber ride on to 6th and Rainey. Would definitely recommend.
4084746,33076692,2015-05-25,28247420,Ryan,"Host was excellent, responsive, and friendly.  Home was ""as advertised.""  Great for large groups!  Convenient location, would recommend."
4084746,35822766,2015-06-22,32417841,Julian,Ana was a great host. The check in process was easy and she was flexible about the checkout time. The neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located to Barton Springs and several great restaurants. 
4084746,50428842,2015-10-12,33233959,Jessica,"Leading up to my stay Ana was always quick to reply to any questions or concerns I had. Griffin was great at check in, very informative and a laid back guy. He immediately made us feel welcome in their home. Both were available to us at any time if we had questions. The place was in a safe, quiet neighborhood and the house felt very private with the way their backyard is. This place was perfect for our large ACL group!"
1769638,10225669,2014-02-07,11037468,Andy,"Great place and wonderful host.  The high points are actually the hosts.  Monica made cookies on arrival and both Akash and Monica are very helpful and accommodating, provided everything I asked for.  Communication is great.

Akash needs a new camera :).  The photos don't do justice to the place.  It's brand new, really well laid out and comfortable.  It's like a high end hotel suite.  All the finishes are first class, the kitchen is really well appointed especially if you intend to cook.  Bathroom and bedroom are deluxe.  It doesn't get much better than this in terms of accommodations...

Funky is a good word for the neighborhood - blue collar homeowners primarily - very safe and super quiet.  East Austin is cool and hip in it's own right, lots of bars and restaurants.  The more conventional Austin experience (downtown, Congress and 6th streets) is minutes away by car.

If you're looking for a deluxe, peaceful and relaxing place as a hub to operate from in Austin, I recommend this one.  I fully intend to stay here again."
1769638,10903611,2014-03-12,1728899,Tanya,"This was by far one of the best places airbnb places I've stayed at!
Monica who manages the property was super friendly and went above and beyond in her attention to detail and making sure that her guest were taken care of. Super clean, the shower was hot and the pressure great, big kitchen and bikes! and for someone who doesn't drive, not bad getting around from on that bike or bus. Monica even gave me a lift to the supermarket to grab some snacks and hooked it up with a brand new blow-dyer, on a sunday before 9am. seriously. 

I would recommend staying here. Great house, great host! "
1769638,11002666,2014-03-17,11303180,Rense,"Great house on a great location. Actually, it seemed even better than advertised.
Very clean, great communication, warm welcome (with home baked cookies!!), very complete, everything in working order etc etc. No complaints whatsoever, very recommendable place!"
1769638,12287829,2014-04-28,13404263,Cynthia,"My husband and I recently spent a week in Austin.We rented Akash's adorable little lime green house in East Austin.Monica,our host, could not have been any more gracious and  (email hidden)e house was comfortable and the chocolate chip cookies she made as a housewarming present were delicious!We loved the neighborhood,and we fell in love with Austin.Rode our bikes everywhere,and the river is so close.Lovely city,lovely people.Cant wait to go back!

"
1769638,12782567,2014-05-11,13422193,Elisabeth,"We loved staying here. The cottage was comfortable and well stocked, even for four of us!  The location was great, in a quiet residential area but easy to get around by bus or car. What really made this such a great place to stay was how hospitable and helpful Akash and Monica were. Monica was always available to answer questions and eager to share Austin with us. "
1769638,13198921,2014-05-21,15480036,Morgan,"I stayed here in May, so I'm a little late in reviewing.  I absolutely loved every minute of my stay here!  Akash has an amazing cottage in a fantastic location, and Monica made us feel so welcome.  The homemade cookies were a nice welcoming gift!  Austin is home for me, but since I moved away I've been staying in hotels every time I come to town.  Not anymore!  I can't imagine staying anywhere else now that I've stayed at Akash's place.  It felt like coming home instead of ""just visiting.""  I actually loved this place so much that if I ever move back to Austin, I would want to call this little cottage home."
1769638,13456934,2014-05-27,4292380,Iggy,The place was very nice and the host quite accommodating.
1769638,18930976,2014-09-02,15817900,Kim,The house was perfect for our needs. Very clean and great location. We were even able to bike to the downtown area easily which was awesome. I especially loved how quick they were to respond to my request to book the place since I booked the morning of my check in day. Also Akash was very flexible about when I could meet him to get the keys which was very much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again! 
1769638,19303473,2014-09-09,20946287,Scott,This is my first experience using Airbnb and it's been a great start. The place was as advertised. Very clean and well maintained. Host was accommodating to all of our needs. Would definitely stay here again.
1769638,20045266,2014-09-22,12769017,Lcp,We had a wonderful time staying at Akash's place. Everything was clean and well appointed. The futon was comfortable as was the main bed for the members of our group. We walked and jogged on the nearby lake path. The little neighborhood is cute and friendly. 
1769638,20523697,2014-09-30,21290085,Karalyn,Great host with quick communication. The listing was accurate- it's an adorable bungalow with nice finishes. We definitely recommend this rental. 
1769638,20788910,2014-10-05,6811235,Josiah,"Loved the vibe at Akash's place. It was simple to get the keys and Ben was great to deal with checking in. It's close to a lot that I love on the east side, but just far enough removed that it was peaceful, felt like a retreat.

Thanks for having us!"
1769638,20960234,2014-10-08,21131769,Grace,"Stayed here 4 days and 3 nights with 3 of my girlfriends and it was perfect.  Clean and well-stocked cozy space quietly tucked away (but not too far away) just minutes from Downtown and East Austin hot spots by car, as advertised.  Located in a private and quiet neighborhood, which we always looked forward returning back to.

Everything in the house was in stellar condition (AC, washer, dryer, shower, TV, wi-fi, fridge, bed, futon, etc.).  Available are high quality pillows, towels, blankets and linens for days.  Also available are a queen-sized bed, 2 futons that can sleep up to 3 people and a queen-sized blow-up mattress, of which we only occupied the bed and futons -- both were super comfortable.

Ben, the property manager, greeted us upon arrival with a big smile, fresh towels and eagerness to answer any questions.  He was consistently friendly, easy to get a hold of and always quick to respond."
1769638,21176011,2014-10-12,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"What a beautiful space... Quiet, dead end street, right by the water, just east of downtown, walkable to so much. Hosts were fantastically friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. We'd gladly stay again any time."
1769638,21522639,2014-10-19,3226400,Andy,"Akash's cottage is well maintained, located in a quiet neighborhood that is easy to access and easy to get anywhere you want to go. You can easily walk to downtown or E 6th Street for great restaurants and other attractions. The park and trails across the street are great. 

Ben, our host, was fantastic. He met us at the door when we arrived, was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. He went out of his way to make sure we had anything we needed.

We found the bed quite firm (too firm), but others may be fine that as this is a personal preference. The bikes were in somewhat rough shape and didn't work out for us like we'd hoped, and the weight training equipment mentioned in the listing was no where to be found. 

These were all minor inconveniences and overall we enjoyed our stay a great deal. This is a great little cottage in a great neighborhood. "
1769638,21694986,2014-10-21,22695407,Calli,"Great place, price, and location. My friend and I booked it very last minute, only giving a couple hours notice, and the property manager was extremely accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again!"
1769638,22025264,2014-10-28,8517816,William,"Ben made us feel welcome from the moment we got there by making it easy for us to pick up our keys, sending kind words of encouragement for us and our short film at Austin FIlm Festival, and just being a great guy. I really appreciate his combination of warmth and professionalism. "
1769638,22307002,2014-11-03,20698692,David,"Akash, Ben, and Ben's wife were great hosts! Ben was very patient with me as I wasn't sure what my arrival time would be. But once I did arrive I was blown away at how nice the property was. Interior was very modern, clean, and welcoming. I very much enjoyed my nice, albeit brief, stay at the green house. Thanks again Ben for the candy and beer! "
1769638,23798356,2014-12-10,3334332,Corina,"From the first message, everything about staying here was easy. Akash was quick to reply and made it easy for us to get the key, even with a very late arrival. It was easy to find and once inside, was much more beautiful than we expected - the pictures don't do it justice. 

Location was great. We easily accessed all parts of Austin from here. Some on foot, some via car. The lake loop made for a nice run. 

The neighborhood is a bit edgy - authentic -  and feels like it's on  the verge of establishing itself. Everyone was incredibly warm and friendly. 

If you're looking for a comfortable place to stay in an up and coming part of Austin, I highly recommend Akrash's place. "
1769638,24679910,2015-01-01,24531702,Ben,Really a wonderful place.  We were sorry to leave. we had a great time and we had a wonderful host.  When we arrived Akash realized there was no coffee in the house and ran to the store at 10 o'clock at night to make sure we had coffee. above and beyond.   Great experience.
1769638,25325538,2015-01-12,8256131,Chance,"The short of it is, if you are traveling to Austin and this place is available. you should stay here. 

Akash, Ben, and Chelsea could not have made our trip any easier or more enjoyable. The home is conveniently located to East Austin, Downtown, the lake, and, really everything we wanted to do. That being said, it also feels kind of ""off the map"" and private. Expectations were met and exceeded.

See you next time, Hip Bungalow."
1769638,25570272,2015-01-19,25845803,John,Loved everything about my stay at this great little place near downtown Austin. It was clean and well furnished. The properly manager next door was also an added bonus. He was kind and flexible. Would definitely like to stay here again on my next trip to Austin.
1769638,25834779,2015-01-26,13207016,Jessica,"This was my first experience as a guest on airbnb! Altho, I did not have the pleasure of meeting Ben, my interaction with him was great! Ben was super nice, responsive and he was willing to wait up late to receive us. We also forgot our mobile hot spot and he offered to mail it us!! Real stand up guy, thank you!!"
1769638,27047062,2015-02-24,11792057,Sue,"The host did not meet with us but since the property manager had to work later than usual he had his girlfriend/companion greet us with the keys. She gave us a tour of the house with some instructions that we needed to follow altho detailed instructions were on most items that we needed to use. 

The property manager was very helpful during our stay answering any questions we had regarding the house or places/things to do in Austin itself. They were both very friendly people. 

"
1769638,27683792,2015-03-09,28348028,Will,"The bungalow was exactly as described and was a wonderful place to stay for our first time in Austin. Although I did not actually meet him, Ben was very understanding of our late arrival to the house and was able to get us the key easily.

We loved the location of the house, as it is in a very cool area that is also close to Ladybird Lake.  We would definitely stay here again."
1769638,27871065,2015-03-14,24486724,Amour,I did feel welcome.  The host met me and showed me around the place.  I was happy because it looked exactly like the pictures.  The cottage exits out next to a community recreation center.  Traditional Mexican American neighborhood with hipsters which was definitely an interesting mix.  
1769638,28199473,2015-03-20,6206709,Fredrik,Awesome place with a great host. Perfect house and great surroundings. We loved our stay here.

1769638,28799429,2015-03-30,27981755,Mandiewatkins,We had a wonderful stay. Location was perfect. We were able to walk to Rainey St /uber really cheaply. It was clean and quiet. Will definitely stay again! 
1769638,29822246,2015-04-13,3331858,Lane,Perfect place for enjoying all that East Austin has to offer. Highly recommended staying here.
1769638,30313175,2015-04-20,22328634,Rashmin,We loved staying at this Hip Bungalow!!! Akash's property manager Ben was awesome!! The space is super clean and really comfy. It is also really close to anything you would want to do in Austin. Ben went out of his way to accommodate us!!! We would definitely stay there again!!!
1769638,30846117,2015-04-27,6744810,Audra,"It was a wonderful little get a way in Austin, close to the city and very convenient. I would really recommend this place! The owner was very responsive, we were stuck in traffic on the way down and didn't get in until late but he made accommodations.
"
1769638,31365700,2015-05-04,21178219,Colynn,Akash and Ben are doing a great job with this little dream bungalow. They provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Very clean and super cozy. Awesome location too. 
1769638,32061626,2015-05-13,25240506,Keith,"The house was perfect for our weeklong stay!  Chelsea, Ben and Akash were all very responsive and helpful.  The neighborhood was inviting.  Really enjoyed the location close to the parks, short trip to anywhere we wanted to go in Austin.  I would definitely stay here again when I visit Austin again!"
1769638,33251073,2015-05-26,30308878,Jana,"The apartment was very clean, and helpful maps of the area were on the fridge.  The bed and futons were comfortable, and we found everything we needed in the kitchen and bathroom.  The apartment is 5 minutes or less from downtown by car, and also, there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance.  We had a nice breakfast at Cenote. If we had questions, Ben got back to us very quickly. Sadly, it was a rainy weekend so we did not get the chance to try out the walking trails by the lake.  Next time!  Thank you Akash and Ben -- our family enjoyed our time in Austin."
1769638,33844132,2015-06-01,33450541,Jessica,"This house was cozy yet perfect for four twenty-somethings coming to Austin for the weekend. The home was clean, nicely furnished, and well stocked with necessities. It is walking distance to a couple of small eateries, and the neighborhood is quiet. We intentionally chose a home in Southeast Austin because of the venue of the wedding we attended; it is not ""close"" to downtown (i.e. you can't walk), but it is a very quick drive away!"
1769638,34493435,2015-06-08,34400221,Thomas,I loved staying at this place! The house is cute and the neighborhood is amazing! The lake is a short walk from the house and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby.  Ben was nice and helpful.  I highly recommend this spot.  
1769638,35510518,2015-06-19,34473078,Isabel,"Perfect for what we were looking for! LOVED the location! Right next to a running trail and Juiceland :) really clean and super comfy bed and seating areas. The bathroom is stocked with whatever you forgot and the kitchen has everything you need plus snacks! Plenty of space to unpack and get comfortable. Really quiet neighborhood and the driveway is at the end of the street so there was no problem with parking our two vehicles. Ben and Chelsea communicated quickly and clearly plus they're super friendly! If you're looking to stay in a place in Austin and get a taste of what it feels like to be a local, I highly recommend staying here. We actually wanted to stay longer but unfortunately someone booked after our one week stay. Would def stay here again :)"
1769638,36580985,2015-06-29,17483360,Matt,My first airbnb experience and it was great. The home was very clean and conveniently located. The hosts were very easy to communicate with as well which was awesome. 
1769638,37372803,2015-07-06,36134567,Ryan,"Great place to stay, location very close to town and next to the park make it a quiet place and great spot to rally from. Guest house was clean, comfortable and accommodating for 3 people. Highly recommended."
1769638,42054324,2015-08-10,39048558,Dutch,"Ben and Chelsea's guest house in Austin is a hidden gem. The place is very modern with a great bathroom, very big living room, and awesome one bedroom. It's about a $5 Uber ride to the other side of town which isn't bad at all, so it's really close to all the popular spots in Austin. It's extremely close to the path to Lady Bird Lake which is a really beautiful area to walk around. Having your own parking spot is very convenient and Ben was really easy to link up with and give us the keys to the place when we got there. Would LOVE to use this place again when I venture down to Austin."
1769638,42923206,2015-08-16,33586229,Max,"This was the most seamless booking ever! We booked, messaged with Ben and Chelsea a few times for details on how to get a key and that was it! We loved how simple that was. The green house was absolutely fantastic! Very clean and super comfortable! It has everything you'd ever need in case you forgot something. Such thoughtful hosts. The location was perfect for us. The house sits about 200m from the Town Lake 10Mile loop trail which we used every day! So many great little restaurants and coffee shops around the neighborhood too! 
In brief, this place was just perfect and the hosts were extremely efficient in making sure we were able to get it quickly with no hiccups! Absolutely great! Thank you! "
1769638,44218318,2015-08-24,32819931,Kevin,"Ben was super responsive before and during the trip. Every interaction was a breeze. The apartment is clean, cozy and stocked with everything you could need. The neighborhood is cool. Walking distance to convenient store, hip eateries and Juiceland for smoothies. Uber was never more than 5 minutes away. 

Highly recommend this place. "
1769638,46178241,2015-09-08,41188936,Brittany,"Quiet neighborhood within walking distance to some nice restaurants and bars and a short Uber or cab ride away from the Downtown scene. Great little house and the cabinets were stocked with snacks and treats which was greatly appreciated! 
"

1769638,48925767,2015-09-29,6875055,Travis,The home is as great as it seems in the pictures. Clean and modern. Ben and Chelsea were great to interact with and very timely on their responses. No hassles - great home and great neighborhood! The house also had a Bop It - they're still as fun as you remember...
1769638,52852851,2015-11-02,30941051,Keyan,"Great hosts, friendly, accomdiating. Can't think of anything I would change. Loved it and hopefully we can be back in their beautiful home. "
1769638,53110272,2015-11-05,42052030,Janet,They had a plastic jack-o-lantern full of candy and a bottle of wine waiting for us. Gorgeous house and great location. Highly recommended and hope to stay there on my next visit to Austin!!
5075498,48589873,2015-09-27,43713665,Allison,Brandon & Abby were very welcoming and accomodating. The house was comfortable and just as described in the listing. The neighborhood was pretty and in a great location. Quiet but close to everything we needed to get to.  We would definitely stay here again!
5075498,49817766,2015-10-06,34959754,Rigo,"Brandon and Abby were great hosts. I left my keys in an uber and Abby was great at helping me get in and out that night. The room was very spacious and very nicely decorated. The shower was excellent. Really nice and hot especially after the dusty ACL. I slept like a rock and that's a nice thing, because I never get a good night sleep outside my own place. You can walk to a great coffee shop that Abby recommended and I do as well. I didn't really use my car because most of the placed I went to were walkable or a 5 dollar lyft away. I will definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity. Told all my friends about it too. Thanks a lot for the hospitality Brandon and Abby."
5075498,52874149,2015-11-02,5649669,Missy,"Brandon's historic home is just as lovely as described in his listing. The house was spacious, clean, and comfortably cozy. I was given the choice of which of the three bedrooms on the upper floor I'd prefer and chose one with two banks of windows and a ton of wonderful light.

The neighborhood was very idyllic and a short stroll to some great cafes, tacos and a very inviting food co-op. It is a short 15 min drive to downtown.

Despite the fact I was in town attending a conference and didn't have much downtime, Brandon and Abby welcomed me and made me feel very comfortable in their home. Over a breakfast cuppa, we shared some stories on a Saturday morning. 

Their dogs are friendly and interested in guests. I love dogs so it was a delight for me. Brandon is very courteous about his guests privacy, putting up a baby gate to separate the dogs from entering the top floor where I was staying.

And on Halloween night, I returned from a long conference day to find some surprise candy on my pillow. Ha! A very cute treat.

I wished I could have had more time staying here- not just for the space but also because Brandon and Abby are really lovely people."
7098394,46107793,2015-09-07,14252162,Arturo,"I had an excellent experience at vema's home. I came to Austin on a busy weekend, I couldnt find a place to stay, I decided to check Airbnb and Vema was kind enough to take us in at the last minute. He greeted us with a warm welcome, gave us a tour of his nice home, and was there to help anyway he could. Vema's home was clean and neat. This is a great place to stay at. I rate my experience a 10/10."
7098394,50550396,2015-10-12,4256575,Jerome/Jane,Vema was a great host and was accommodating during our arrival and stay. The entire house and master room was very spacious and easily accessible. 
747499,2936549,2012-11-21,2370882,Jason,"Phillip's cottage was exactly as described.  Clean, charming, and located in a great area of Austin.  Phillip went above and beyond our expectations by providing great communication throughout the booking process and preparing all the amenities to make our stay enjoyable.  Thanks!"
747499,3770892,2013-03-13,2664282,Ilan,"What a fantastic host! Highly recommend Phillip. Lovely, clean two bedroom home in a quiet and safe Austin neighborhood close to downtown. On top of that Phillip left us breakfast in the fridge, water, beers, bottle of wine - which saved us having to run out to buy things! Full set of toiletries in the bathroom, along with towels.. Phillip also gave us a ride into downtown in the mornings. "
747499,3803928,2013-03-17,4297618,Lorenzo,"Phillip is a very kind person, the house is really lovely and clean in wonderful place close to the downtown. We really felt like at home!
Absolutly high recommend to any airbnb host."
747499,21201377,2014-10-13,19441944,Lauren,The house was very charming and close to downtown. The homeowner is an amazing artist and his house is full of his beautiful paintings. He went out of his way to leave us breakfast foods and water. He was easy to communicate with and overall our stay was great. 
747499,22239323,2014-11-02,20219320,Marcelo,"Lovely house in austin, phillip was a great host, received us at the time most appropiate time for us, left us water and essential things.. 

Would highly recommend him and his place

Thanks phillip"
747499,22608434,2014-11-10,9147348,Matthew,"Phillip was the man! While walking in he greeted himself to my group and I,  gave us a tour of the home and ended it by letting us know he started off our weekend with a 6 pack of Shiner Boch (its everywhere in TX!). He also left juice and bagels for the morning. It's the perfect size for 6 people, two people in each bed, and one person per coach, he also provides a blow up mattress, so it can be good for 7. The location is perfect, its about a 15 minute walk to downtown. Close enough for a trek or a cheap uber ride, but far enough to make it feel like you're an Austinite! Phillip also let us do our own thing and never interrupted, but that's not to say he wasn't there if we needed him to be. I accidentally called him and hung up really quick and within a few minutes he called right back, so it was nice knowing that he would not leave us hanging if anything happened. His art work is amazing, definitely gives a warm feeling to the home. He also has a print out on the fridge of everything nearby that you might need for your stay (nearest market, bus stop, favorite restaurant). Phillip was the real MVP of the weekend!"
747499,28066520,2015-03-17,8113265,Jennifer,"I highly recommend Phillip's lovely home. The house is so comfortable and Phillip did a great job making me feel welcome - including having some breakfast foods on hand, which was amazing. The neighborhood is fantastic and it's a very quick walk into downtown. I was in town for work, and it was absolutely delightful to have a nice, comfy house to return to at the end of the day instead of a hotel room."
747499,28302767,2015-03-22,1101911,Tasha,"This has been my favorite Airbnb experience! 5 of us stayed with ample room. Phillip's house is spacious, well decorated, the beds were super comfortable, and the neighborhood was great. He left us SO many supplies, from toiletries to bottled water, wine, beer and snacks. This was really a perfect experience. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."
747499,49588508,2015-10-05,33450066,Edgar,"Phillip's Charming Cottage was great! All amenities worked fine and the house was very clean. Phillip made sure we had all we needed for our stay (extra blankets, coffee, etc.). His art was also great around his home! I would definitely recommend staying at his place if you are thinking about taking a trip to Austin. "
747499,50435101,2015-10-12,36891618,Raul,"Phillip was a very accommodating host. He made sure we felt comfortable and left us alone for the whole stay.  He had everything you could need, plenty of blankets, towels, water, and toiletries. Keys were provided for every guest. 

He has a lovely home which is very close to down town and in a convenient area for any Austin activity. I would highly recommend staying with Phillip. His hospitality made for a great weekend in Austin."

 I couldn't make it there on the day  said and when I called to let her know she was understanding and the next day she was there to let me in,stood at the entrance so I would see where to go. 
The location is very close to downtown. Its en suite so you are able to be independent and alone.
There is parking which is super.
I would recommend the space!

381833,12921974,2014-05-14,13359254,Kp,"My stay with Andrea was my first airbnb stay.  Andrea was a fantastic host, always around and always available to answer questions and offer help if needed.  The accommodations were great, everything was clean and in perfect condition before I arrived.   I highly recommend Austin Zen Stay and I will definitely be staying there again in the future."

"
5170416,50444627,2015-10-12,39525240,Juliana,"Amy was awesome. We were driving into Austin and she was really flexible with our arrival time to give us the key and show us around. The place is super spacious and can comfortably sleep about 10 people- 2 bedrooms, 2 pull out couches and this awesome camper in the backyard that sleeps 2 as well. She set up an air mattress for us too. The backyard was definitely the best part, huge with lots of chairs to hang out and even a mini pool. Location is fine, a convenient trip into downtown Austin and a cheap Uber ride. Amy was super accommodating (as accommodating as you need her to be, she stays next door) and the house is great, especially for larger groups. A stocked kitchen, wifi, netflix, a large bathroom and shower. 9 of us had a fun, comfortable time staying with Amy for 4 nights the weekend of Austin City Limits festival. Seriously, no complaints!"
5170416,52050027,2015-10-26,35580996,Jared,"Such a wonderful experience! Amy did an awesome job making us all feel welcome and the place was great.

3812057,19974016,2014-09-21,4447205,Todd,"We rented Mary's home for our 7 person production crew. It was conveniently located to all the downtown action in Austin. The home offers everything we could want. 

Mary was so accommodating, she even let us park our parade float and drop off a couple of pallets of supplies at her studio a mile away. She's a great host, you are in good hands with Mary and this home. You will be happy here. "
3812057,20300090,2014-09-27,5624963,Joah,"I rented Mary's place for some friends in town from New York, and it was a great decision. The rooms were spacious and well designed, and the house itself is in a great neighborhood in South Austin (78704) not far from plenty of great restaurants and Downtown. "
3812057,21286481,2014-10-14,20322095,Rebecca,"My company rented this house for ACL and it was great for our team's needs. Mary was very accommodating and even switched the bed types in one of the rooms so that we could comfortably fit more people. The owners were around the property most of the time. The only suggestion/feedback I've heard is that another couch would be great, considering how many people can sleep there. Overall a great house, we'll definitely try to rent again if we're in Austin! "
3812057,21675563,2014-10-21,11554154,Jordan,Mary was a fantastic host! She was always available to answer any questions I had. The house itself was PERFECT for our group. Very cute. Plenty of beds. The neighborhood was quiet and in a great location. I would highly recommend! 
3812057,21903090,2014-10-26,22124833,Amanda,"Eight co-workers in town for work/play. This house is perfect. It has plenty of room and is super cute and comfy. The location is fantastic. You are essentially a $10 uber ride to anywhere. Some of the best tacos are walking distance PLUS other phenomenal food trucks very close by. SOCO is a mile away and is probably my favorite spot in Austin. When I had a question, the owner, Mary emailed me back within an hour.  Great service!"
3812057,22527298,2014-11-09,10147177,Eva,"Six of us stayed here for a long weekend and had a great time. Mary was very quick to respond whenever we had a question or needed anything. The location is really convenient - we rented a car which made daytime activities easy and we were able to get around easily using UberX at night when we didn't want to drive.

The kitchen is well-stocked and there were plenty of beds, towels, etc. We even had Franklin's BBQ delivered to the house and were able to use the picnic table in the yard.

If you're a light sleeper, keep in mind that there's a freight train line less than a half mile away. However, I was the only one in the group who noticed it at night."
3812057,22956355,2014-11-18,6289520,Kim,"Mary's house suited our group of 5 very well. The listing description and photos are accurate; it's a really comfortable place to spend some time between Austin adventures. Everything was really clean and tidy, and the kitchen well equipped. The neighborhood is quiet, but convenient enough to access food and shopping on South First and Congress. Communication with Mary via email was really easy and she was quick to respond to inquiries. I would stay here again, for sure! "
3812057,23179442,2014-11-24,10039493,Elaine,"This was a very comfortable and spacious place for our family group!  Immaculate, well appointed, very fun remodel -- just a great place.  We also rented the cottage, which was terrific."
3812057,23399602,2014-11-30,7194619,Thibault,"Great place, great neighborhood, comfortable beds, suitable for allergic people like me. All my friends loved it. :)))"
3812057,23640588,2014-12-07,4817988,Deborah,"Great place - perfect for our family. Rooms were great, everything we needed was at hand. Love the kitchen, the outdoor picnic table, how close we were to Torchy's Taco's. Check out the games in the ""Pirate room""! Recommend highly!"
3812057,24776910,2015-01-02,965860,Alexandra,"My sons and I absolutely loved staying in Mary's apartment.  It was available to us early, it was spotless and well-stocked and perfectly quiet and peaceful. Nicely furnished too.  I loved the refridgeratorIt's was less than 10 minutes away from S. Congress and there was a nice playground nearby.  I had asked Mary if there was a VCR and she even bought one for the house in time for us to have it.  It was a pleasure staying in her house and I hope to do so again.  And my kids loved the bunk beds."
3812057,25513074,2015-01-18,25500472,Ed,"Rented this with three other guys for a get together vacation over a long weekend.   It was great, and just what we needed.  All the beds and linens were comfortable (even though no spring chickens are we), the kitchen had what we needed to make breakfasts and a few dinners, and Mary was responsive to requests for information.  It is attached to another unit but we never would have known it if it hadn't been pointed out, as there was never any noise or issue with the tenants there.  If I have another need for this kind of housing in Austin, I'll be checking availability here before I go anywhere else.

As a side note about the location:  I think this is the best possible place to be located in Austin.  And I'm not just saying that based on a weekend - my friends came in from out of town but I'm local, and I knew just where I wanted us to be.  Right where this house is - close to everything!"
3812057,25739067,2015-01-25,16420400,John,"The home was just as described! We really enjoyed our time there and the place was perfect for 6 people (2 couples + 2 singles) but could have comfortably slept more.

We really enjoyed the bathrooms, but the water pressure could use some work. The washer/dryer were definite bonuses. So were the ample towels and the shampoo, conditioner, and soap that was provided.

The area is quiet but only about a $7-$8 Uber from downtown.

Thanks for a good stay!"
3812057,26585838,2015-02-16,14138304,Stephanie,"Mary was a splendid and accommodating host. The house was above and beyond beautiful, neat and warm. There for a (Albeit low key) bachelorette - it was the perfect house for the five of us to hang our hats, and relax together. Also, it was so close to everything, a cheap cab ride away, and an easy walk if you chose to do so.  Thank you thank you thank you, Mary! We highly recommend staying here. "
3812057,27578511,2015-03-08,20494594,Jonathan,The house was great. Plenty of room for the six of us that stayed there. We easily could have had more if needed. Perfect location. Easy access to South Congress area and downtown.

3812057,30658568,2015-04-26,11936461,Arsy,We stayed in Mary's house during our recent trip to Austin for a nutrition convention. The house is lovely and close to everything. Mary was a wonderful host! We would definitely stay here again. 
3812057,31978855,2015-05-12,10651109,Camille,"I can’t say enough good things about this house! Mary was friendly and very fast to respond.  The two girls in our group that travel often and have used Air BnB the most said it was their best experience to date. The house is super clean and cute so it’s an inviting place to relax in if you want to stay in for the night. It seems to have everything (and more ) that you would want. It’s also in a great location, close to S. First and S. Congress but situated in a quiet neighborhood for those mid-afternoon naps you may need while traveling.  I plan to stay here again. "
3812057,33666065,2015-05-31,5520167,Philip,The house was really comfortable and perfect for our small group for the weekend.  Beds were comfortable and the house is located in an area that is accessible to a lot of great areas within Austin.  All in all it was a great weekend and we would do it again in a heart-beat!
3812057,34962259,2015-06-14,31974668,Maria,"This house was perfect! The washer/dryer came in handy and the beds were amazing.   Super clean and in a very convenient location, close to everything.  I would definitely plan another trip with my girls to stay her. "
3812057,36294076,2015-06-27,19685227,Anna,"The house was great and exactly how described on Airbnb's webpage.  We had a great time hanging out in the open kitchen area playing games and catching up.  Mary was great.  I had a hard time locating the house at first, and she immediately responded to help me out.  I would highly recommend staying at Mary's place. "
3812057,37024804,2015-07-03,37223693,Jimmy,Excellent experience! 
3812057,38756698,2015-07-18,37099509,Anna,"We had a wonderful time in Mary's home. It was exactly as described, and close to great things. She was an excellent communicator who made sure we had a fantastic stay. Thank you Mary!"
3812057,39545392,2015-07-24,10150990,Rosa,My family of 4 (including 2 teens) absolutely enjoyed Mary's home! The rooms were spacious and clean! We planned to cook a few meals during our 4 day stay and Mary has the basics for us in her adorable kitchen! There is also a Keurig so you can bring your favorite coffee with you! Everything we wanted to do was so close and with 10-15 min. There are also food spots you could easily walk to if you can handle the July heat!  We enjoyed the picnic table for our early breakfasts since it was nice and cool. The neighborhood itself is quiet but in a great location! I definitely recommend Mary's home to families or groups.
3812057,41833516,2015-08-09,37175114,Pamela,The picture of the house needs to be updated.  There is a fence around this side of the house.  I would have liked to know that there was another part of the house that could be rented.
3812057,50610839,2015-10-13,20322095,Rebecca,"My company used this property as well as Mary's Zilker Barn property and both were perfect! Extremely comfortable living situation which was so necessary for our staff who were working for 2 weeks straight. 

Can't wait to be back next year! "
3775485,18929007,2014-09-02,5683817,Matthew,"I booked my stay pretty late and Vikki responded quickly. I didn't experience any problems in my stay, and the price was totally reasonable. A good experience overall."
3775485,19001055,2014-09-04,20124615,Tyrone,"I had a very pleasant stay with my host Vikki & her son Axel (aka big buffalo), and their dog!! I am very grateful to my host for her hospitality, and kindness!! Thank you again Vikki!!"
3775485,19387075,2014-09-11,15637443,Richard,"Vikki was great. We booked pretty close to our travel date and she responded quickly. The place is indeed nice and the bed is indeed comfortable. Vikki is a sweet, open, helpful person, and we'd definitely stay with her again!"
3775485,19577147,2014-09-14,14819389,Jey,"A very comfortable stay. Vikki was a nice and helpful host.  Her home is an easy find and the neighborhood is nice and green, especially after the beautiful rainstorms.  "
3775485,19662918,2014-09-15,16907755,Joseph,"Spacious room, and a lovely family. Location was convenient for my needs. 

All around great value."
3775485,19904651,2014-09-20,21174317,Louis,It was good.
3775485,20103272,2014-09-23,3296264,Meg,"Vikki was reachable by email and connected with me about the place. She made it easy to get into the house and find the room. The room is very simple and the bed was comfortable and although the pillows were throw pillows they worked. The bathroom is shared but clean and attached to the room. There is a sweet dog and a young child that live there as well. The dog only barked until she realized you belonged there and then she was great and the child was quiet and a heavy sleeper so coming in late wasn't a problem. Both were a surprise but not a problem, cute in fact. The house is more like a duplex but with the address was easy to find. Although it was more out of the way than I expected it provided for a quiet and safe place to stay. Found it was easiest to get around with a car. Would stay here again especially for the rate. "
3775485,20171573,2014-09-24,7975332,Sharon,We came in late and left early.   Didn't get a chance to meet host.   Liked the fact that there was a bathroom right off the room.   clean and convenient.
3775485,20542807,2014-09-30,4265187,Emilie,Quiet house and in calm neighborhood
3775485,21384082,2014-10-16,8224012,Leo,"The room was large and comfortable in a great neighborhood with nearby walking trails.  Right off of I35 with the downside being there was some highway noise.  Vikki, Axel and Rita were all friendly and considerate.  Would stay again."
3775485,21625851,2014-10-20,22173013,Ada,"Vikki was really nice. She left us linens, gave us access to her WiFi, left us brochures of the local hotspots and was very accommodating to our arrival schedule."
3775485,21771612,2014-10-23,21174317,Louis,My second time here was just as good as the first. Vikki is very consistent; the place was clean and checking in was easy.
3775485,23034247,2014-11-21,21104323,Anna,"lovely little spot to hang your head and experience all that Austin has to offer. close but incredibly peaceful . Vikki is a perfect host and after you stay , you feel like you made a friend and that's the best of all things  :]"
3775485,26536169,2015-02-15,20659277,Frédéric,I enjoyed my stay at Vikki's place. She was very welcoming and available. It was my first airbnb experience and it went really well.
3775485,28436642,2015-03-23,29130164,Lukas,"This was my first Airbnb experience. It was wonderful. Communication was perfect, and the sleeping quarters were splendid. Thank you to the host!"
3775485,28551173,2015-03-25,6792963,Sarah Katherine,"Vikki is sweet and open.  The place is located north of central audtin but the drive wasn't inconvenient during non rush traffic.  It took me less than 10 minutes from down town.  If that's an issue, you might want to stay somewhere else.  My son was a terror when we stayed but vikki was unobtrusive and warm.  This is definitely a good place for a small family looking for a deal.  "
3775485,28639859,2015-03-27,534353,Roger,"A good place for an overnight stay, which is what I wanted"
3775485,29328609,2015-04-06,19714866,Erin,"Vikki and the place were great! I just needed a place to sleep at night while visiting the city during the day. The place was clean, she gave us towels for showering. The room had a few books and pamphlets about the city which was great. The neighbor is quiet and feels very safe. You can quickly get onto the main road to get into the city in about 15 mins. There is parking! Vikki is very accommodating, for example she let us use the fridge and gave us a heads up that workers were coming to work in the backyard. It's worth noting the upstairs bathroom has two doors, one to your room and one to the owner's. "
3775485,29875910,2015-04-13,23161150,Grayam,"Vikki was a great hostess, and immediately made us feel welcome. The room we stayed in was great--access to a full bathroom, and she provided all the necessary amenities. The wifi was a plus, and the bed was indeed very comfortable. After long days out and about, it put us right to sleep! "
3775485,30471285,2015-04-22,30854232,Jeremy,"This was my first AirBnB experienced and was exactly as advertised! A quiet room in a nice place. Vikki was kind, welcoming, and the rate for her room was perfect. I needed a spot to crash and shower for the week while traveling around Texas, and was glad to have found it. Thanks Vikki!"
3775485,30654527,2015-04-25,19867914,Erica,"This was a great place for me to stay with my dog, Charlie.  As a solo traveler, I felt safe and it was cozy and Big Buffalo was adorable.  Vikki was welcoming and provided a really comfortable bed, easy access to downtown (about 15 minutes), and a quiet place to stay for two nights.  Thanks, Vikki!"
3775485,31252236,2015-05-03,30739994,Sneyha,"It's a very clean and cozy place, and has a lovely view at the patio. Vikki has setup the room perfectly, with some handy guides about Austin. Vikki is a good host. Overall positive experience. "
3775485,31969734,2015-05-12,3126972,Michael,"The room at Vicki's was spacious and clean. Enjoyed waking up to the full morning light through the big windows. She has an adorable little son who goes by the somewhat unusual name of ""Little Buffalo"" - fun little spirit!  "
3775485,36764727,2015-07-01,26931652,Amit,"Vikki's place is a home away from home. The house is bright, minimal and charming, and is located in a very nice neighborhood. Vikki herself is very helpful and made me feel welcome throughout my stay. Everything else is exactly as advertised.

Chinatown Center is about a mile away and it has many good food options. Going to downtown takes around an hour by public transport (public transport in Austin has much room for improvement!), but 15-20 mins by car (~12 miles). 

All in all, cannot recommend Vikki and her place enough."
3775485,45751602,2015-09-05,41415308,Jun Sung,"Although I made a last minute reservation, Vikki approved and welcomed us. I stayed in Vikki's place for 2 days. The room was very cozy and clean like described. Thanks Vikki!"
3775485,46081557,2015-09-07,43140409,Aria,"Vikki was very welcoming, and the house is situated in a nice area, not too far away from downtown Austin.

The room was very cozy and clean. I'd take her room over most hotel rooms out there. Will stay there again if we visit Austin in the future!"
3775485,48203394,2015-09-24,9050279,Jeff,"We stayed at Vikki's place for around 2 weeks and would definitely stay there again. Vikki is very considerate and accommodating. Little things such as she would leave the porch light on for us when we were out late and helped us bring our bags into our room.

We had to leave earlier than expected and Vikki more than happy to allow us to modify our contract.

Thank you very much Vikki,
-Jeff and Marta"
3775485,49068090,2015-09-30,44911563,Bernard,How welcome we felt in your nice home.  Thank you for your space.  We felt most welcome by your care about our arrival.  We will seek you room again.
3775485,49292567,2015-10-02,32307904,Gergely,Nice room in a friendly home. It was perfect for us to relax a day in Austin. Thank you Vikki!
3775485,50241536,2015-10-10,35659894,Gabriel,She was awesome. Place great location and super clean. We would definitely like to stay there again. Thanks Vikki.
3775485,50996224,2015-10-16,27809089,Victoria,"Beautiful, quiet and well-kept home with a wonderful view from the back patio. Vikki was very sweet and helpful. We felt right at home in the room, which was spacious and had great energy. Would definitely go and stay there again! "
3775485,51801583,2015-10-24,36462995,April,Vikki was AWESOME! Everything about this experience was what I'd hoped for. Great location & easily accessible. Five stars for my first Airbnb experience. :)
5820639,37305197,2015-07-06,26711090,Steph,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this modern, spacious home. The open layout of the kitchen, dining room and living room, along with plenty of natural light in this area, made it the perfect place for the 8 guests in our party to congregate. We also appreciated the convenient location with proximity to plenty of restaurants and stores while still being tucked in a quiet, charming neighborhood. Rachel was also very responsive to questions and provided clear check-in info beforehand. "
5820639,50301752,2015-10-11,39557062,Eric,Rachel went above and beyond to welcome my group and me to her home. Loved the bottle of champagne! Everything was as described- the home is perfect. 
5329813,28402291,2015-03-23,27568184,Erik,"Morgan and here housemates left us with plenty of amenities to help us feel comfortable during our stay. There was plenty of space, everything worked great, and it was close enough to most of our destinations that we never felt inconvenienced, and it was affordable too. I would definitely stay here again. "
3308681,20715438,2014-10-04,2537578,Gabriel,"This was a beautiful, large, and clean property big enough for several people.  The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and there's a great backyard with a grill.  We had a great time."
3308681,21584779,2014-10-20,19873524,Marcy,We felt very welcomed and the neighbor was great ! The place looked exactly as described. We really enjoyed our stay for a UT sorority parents weekend it's a great location. 
5152215,26728368,2015-02-18,27656509,Alexander,The reservation was canceled 28 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
584701,3772900,2013-03-13,4911412,Matt,"Dee was a fantastic host. The accommodations were clean and orderly, and Dee and her partner, Arup, were very friendly and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had during my stay. It was a pleasure getting to know them and I'd stay with them again."
584701,3817500,2013-03-18,4074055,Jesper,"We had an awesome stay for the SXSW. Dee and Arup are really helpfull and kind hosts. The apartment is just perfect for 2-5 persons, light and good spaces, balcony and so on. Its close to everything (7$ taxi to downtown) and neigbourhood is nice with friendly people. "
6297341,34367067,2015-06-07,21464631,Charissa,The house was perfect. Best location close to 6th street but far enough away for peace and quit sleep. We stayed for the weekend and had a blast. Austin Strolls taxi service picked us up in a shuttle and took us home both nights. The beds were so comfortable and the open living room/ kitchen concept was great for the 7 of us to enjoy time talking. We are definitely making this house our house to stay anytime we come for sure. Angel was great and checked in on us to make sure we were good and had a great time. Thanks again Angel for helping make this a successful trip. My in-laws can't stop talking about how much they loved the house and now i want chickens in my yard in Dallas now♡♡
6297341,41657987,2015-08-08,3643497,Lynn,"I wrote a great review and it did not post!  I will try again.  

The description and photos on Angel's house on Comal are absolutely perfectly accurate.  The artsy comfortable house is near the artsy comfortable neighborhood in East downtown Austin, and felt just like we were in our home neighborhood in the Houston Heights. Including the chickens. 

She is a great host and provides more amenities and instant responsiveness than you will need.  All of the guests that I crossed paths with in the house and trailer were all terrific folks. 

The walkable finds nearby were Quickie Pickie, Hillside Farmacy, Take Heart, and Blue Dahlia.

Okay, I even wanted to buy a house nearby in the neighborhood.  :-)
"
6297341,43614345,2015-08-21,33415641,Yifan,"Angel’s house is great. We lived the happy 9 days in this cozy house.

Everything is equipped: There are bikes for us to ride. We cooked in the house and feed the cute chickens

Angel was a great host! She quickly responded to all messages. I met her once, and she is nice."
6297341,47730435,2015-09-21,34594769,Ian,"The Downtown Farmhouse was a fantastic location for a long weekend with friends in Austin. Angel was a welcoming host, leaving tons of useful information about things to do and see in Austin and fresh eggs from the chickens in the refrigerator. It is a very comfortable and clean house, has a nice entertainment system, and a fulls set of cards and board games. It's location is perfect for either walking or getting a quick ride to downtown Austin.  
We had a great time!  Angel was also very understanding even when we had a bit of a mishap by locking ourselves out of the house! 10/10!"
6297341,50287234,2015-10-11,32756662,James,"We had a great time in this house. There were 6 of us and we were in town for the ACL festival. The house is in a good neighborhood close enough to downtown and has many nearby shops and restaurants.

The house itself is really nice. It's actually Angel's own house so it's really homely. The beds are good, the kitchen is nice and well equipped, there's a tv and a good sound system. The hens are a nice touch too!

Angel was staying elsewhere while we were in town but she popped in while we were there to check that everything was ok. In general she just left us to do our own thing.

Overall the house is quirky, homely and spacious and we loved it. If we are in town again for ACL fest next year we may try and book it again."
6297341,51605968,2015-10-22,1733340,Dave,We enjoyed staying in Angels home. She was very accommodating and knowledgeable of the area and answered any questions we had. It was a great location for us and we enjoyed meeting her and talking with her.
6297341,51784711,2015-10-24,45031242,Lucas,"The location was great, walking distance to everything East Austin.  Central to Downtown and easy to get around.  The house was fun and has a lot of character, we enjoyed the open kitchen layout and the trailer in the carport.  Great restaurant and bar recommendations from our host as well."
6912389,40055494,2015-07-27,5268364,Abi Saafir & Aston,"The place is exactly like the description and photos. It is a lovely studio apartment behind their townhouse. It's private and comfy. The amenities were fantastic: a beautiful, fully equipped kitchen with a Keurig and a dishwasher, a very comfortable bed, lovely lighting, plenty of storage space in a walk-in closet. You would have to spend at least three times as much to find a hotel this nice. It is one of the best AirBnB spaces we've rented so far (and we've done AirBnB around the globe.)

Kimberly and Steve were great hosts. They welcomed us with a small gift and made sure we had everything we needed. We suggested a small improvement to their place (a charger outlet for cell phones), and they brought one the next morning. We had some trouble with the wi-fi they'd just installed, so Steve came and fixed it within an hour or two. 

We highly recommend staying with Kimberly and Steve."
6912389,40856144,2015-08-02,39828594,Katelyn,Our stay at the Cavalier Studio was wonderful!  The property is in a quiet neighborhood that was very easy to get to.  We loved the simplicity of the apartment and how comfortable it was.  This was a great place to stay!
6912389,42943318,2015-08-16,5341214,Rebecca & Vance,The Cavalier Studio was exquisite! The best Airbnb stay my husband and I have had yet. So comfortable and cozy and it made our stay in Austin great! Thanks Kimberly!
6912389,43432824,2015-08-19,21800756,Marie,"YOU MUST BOOK AT THE CAVALIER STUDIO! You won't regret it. By far the best airbnb I've stayed at. We had a 3 night, 4 day stay in Kim's lovely studio and I wish we had stayed longer. Pictures are very true to life. A very clean, modern and beautifully decorated studio that has all the amenities of home (pots, pans, bottle opener, ironing board, etc) Its located in a quiet, safe, brand new development with street parking available and a private car port. An easy 15 minute drive to all the hot spots in Austin, Downtown, South Congress, 6 E St. Hope to stay here again. Thanks Kim!"
6912389,43977787,2015-08-23,29568851,Kurtis,"My wife and I loved this super-comfy suite; it was a big hit for our weekend getaway. Unfortunately, we didn't get to stay long enough to really settle in and use the kitchen, but the suite is very comfortable for resting up before a night out on the town.

We didn't get much of a chance to chat with our hosts because all our needs were already met! Hopefully we'll get a opportunity to return for a longer stay."
6912389,45129243,2015-08-31,40135015,Jen,"This studio has a lot of pluses.  It is VERY clean, bright, and welcoming.  Photos in the listing are very accurate.  My husband and I loved the privacy.  Only downside is that the location isn't the greatest.  I definitely wouldn't walk around at night.  Make sure you have a rental car if you want to see the city.

If you plan on staying more than 3 days, consider bringing a roll of toilet paper.  The quality of the toiletries are great but not enough for more than a 3 day stay.  I'm sure the host would provide a roll of toilet paper if you run out but my husband and I ran out on the last night and just didn't want to bother asking.  We stayed 4 days and 3 nights."
6912389,45686317,2015-09-05,40072847,Cato,"Kimberly was very hospitable and accommodating.  Our late arrival the evening of the 2nd was no problems as she had made all we needed available.  The directions to her home were exact and easy to follow and the availability of having a parking space right by our lodging entry was impressive. :-)
   The lodging was just as advertised, maybe better, and the comfort was better than the high dollar hotels I have stayed in.  Having a full kitchen with refrigerator was very nice.  I would not hesitate to recommend this AirBnB to anyone and I would stay again."
6912389,46175872,2015-09-08,2852110,Cris,Wonderful first time to Austin. The apartment had everything we needed. Our hosts went out of their way to make our visit easy and stress free.
6912389,46747516,2015-09-13,7992224,Lisa,"This was our favorite Airbnb stay yet!  We were ready to move in permanently.  The apartment is furnished beautifully.  There were many ""extra touches"" such as Keurig cups, bottled water and lovely bath products.  We will definitely be returning."
6912389,47717628,2015-09-21,23721774,Mauro,"This is a very cosy and clean studio, ideal for a couple. Kimberly is very nice and accessible. The location is very safe and well maintained, just keep in mind it's not that close to downtown area. I would definitely recommend and stay there again. "
6912389,48534522,2015-09-27,7992224,Lisa,"A wonderful studio apartment.  New, immaculate and cozy.  Great Austin location.  We have stayed there twice and will definitely will be back.  Kimberly and Steve made us feel very welcome."
6912389,49614891,2015-10-05,17793400,Christopher,Great single bedroom in a clean and safe neighborhood. The single bedroom was well furnished and clean. The hosts were 100% accurate in the description of the room. Everything was in clean and working order. 
6912389,50332936,2015-10-11,42037702,Andrea,"Very comfortable, felt right at home. "
6912389,51612342,2015-10-22,1155451,Lee,"We had a great 10 days in Austin, and staying at this apt helped make it wonderful. It is clean and welcoming. We immediately felt at home. The bed is very comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet, so we slept very well. We like to make some of our own meals, so the fully equipped kitchen  was wonderful. Even a dishwasher! 
Our host Kimberly was very responsive to all our requests, even getting us a tea kettle when we shared that we don't drink coffee. We also liked the location, close to N Lamar Ave, so it was an easy drive to Central Market and to downtown. We would love to stay here again."
6912389,51890721,2015-10-25,21612584,Elyse,"This is a great air bnb! The apartment itself was very comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the apartment with the rain and it had everything we needed! Full kitchen to cook dinner and very roomy! Pictures described the space perfectly! Kimberly was very pleasant to communicate with and was there when we needed anything. Food suggestions were wonderful!! 
"
6912389,52457799,2015-10-29,41628495,Jim,"I just finished a great stay at the Cavalier Studio.  The space is perfect for one or two visitors.  Everything I needed was provided and the place feels brand new.  The central location makes getting downtown or up to the tech center an easy drive.  I didn't use the metrorail but there is a station just a few blocks from the studio.

The bed is super comfortable.  The WiFi works great.  The TV is large and easy to use.  I highly recommend the BlackStar Co-op pub and brewery that is an easy walk from the studio.

I appreciated the great communication and easy check-in\check-out.  I will definitely plan to stay here again if I return to Austin."
6912389,52702761,2015-11-01,14888830,Lauren,"This place was even nicer than the pictures could depict. We only stayed for two days, but I could have easily hung out there for a week. It's such a cool spot, and it's only a 15-20 drive from downtown.

Kimberly was an excellent host and even left an umbrella for us when there was unexpected rain.

I'd definitely consider staying at the Cavalier Studio again if I'm back in Austin."
221348,1207036,2012-05-01,1630387,Sergio,The place is super clean on a quiet neighborhood . Close to downtown . I loved staying there with my girlfriend and a friend. Had a great experience in Austin and renting this apartment made it perfect. 
221348,4251720,2013-04-22,5075437,Shaminder,"This is a beautiful, comfortable apartment located near public transportation in a quiet neighborhood. Nathan is an excellent host who obviously loves Austin and wants to share that love. He made a number of helpful suggestions to us but at the same time gave us our space to explore the city. We had a great time and the apartment was a part of that perfection. I would DEFINITELY stay at this apartment again."
221348,4718672,2013-05-21,6129900,Nicholas,"I spent 3 days in the 'treehouse', which is what my gf and I appropriately named the open concept apartment. After communicating our arrival time to Nathan, we were welcomed to pick up the keys and left to enjoy our comfortable stay. Affordable, super clean, and conveniently located, this place was perfect for my time in Austin. I can recommend it to anyone looking for something quaint, comfortable, and just plain awesome. Loved it, and wouldn't think twice about renting again in the future. "
221348,8673465,2013-11-11,9729502,Vince,"Clay has a cozy apartment on the rooftop of a garage.  The neighborhood is safe; I even met his neighbor who was extremely pleasant.  The location is just a short drive away from downtown, south congress, and other places I visited."
221348,8781130,2013-11-18,8728863,Danny,Rented Clay's space over the F1 weekend.  Everything was clean and in order.  Clay was easy to reach via text.  Nice outdoor space around the garage apartment.
221348,10669659,2014-03-02,12475806,Carlo H.,The apartment was just as it is advertised.  Very clean and modern.  We felt very safe and secure in the neighbourhood and the property. Quick easy access to I35 and downtown. Any future visits I plan to Austin I hope stay here again.  Almost forgot.........the bed is super comfy and soft. If i could have fit it in my car it would be at my house now. Do yourself a favor and book this listing!!!
221348,11326749,2014-03-30,11270110,Juan,"We had a great stay, at Clayton's. We were lucky enough to meet him and he was fantastic. The room was clean and very comfortable. Next time we are in Austin we will definitely stay there close to everything. 
It was like staying at a friends house."
221348,11684583,2014-04-12,481122,Kelly,"Clayton's place is super convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We stayed in the lower half of the garage apartment. It was spacious and well furnished. The only complaint would be the thin walls. We could hear every move of the guy staying upstairs. The other guest was not loud at all, so it didn't bother us, and we were able to get a good nights rest. We would definitely stay here again!"
221348,13904393,2014-06-07,11349,Alexandria,"Such an nice little hidden gem in Austin! My husband and I stayed for just one night, but the place was so cozy that I wanted to stay for a week. The bed was super comfy."
221348,15059314,2014-07-01,16467303,Clay,Excellent place to spend some time in Austin! Pictures are a great representation of the place. Very comfortable and it has a great location. Clayton was very helpful.
221348,15371875,2014-07-07,14796272,Brandon,Good place
221348,16113598,2014-07-22,11270110,Juan,"This was our second stay with Clayton and it was comfortable and clean, thanks Clayton appreciate your hospitality."

221348,30479375,2015-04-22,16681436,Conall,"The Studio was everything that I wanted and expected from Troy. Very clean and nice, with perfect proximity to town.

If you are explorers like me and my girlfriend are, and therefore seldom in the apartment, it is a perfect place to make base.  There isnt a TV so maybe not the best place for people who like to hang out at hotel rooms.

Gorgeous outdoor patio area perfect for enjoying a glass of wine before you hit the city.

Would definitely come back again!!!"
221348,30823464,2015-04-27,23449939,Theo,"Great place, very tranquil garden-like environment. Close to all the fun areas and simple check in/out."

221348,31729759,2015-05-09,9573070,Josee,"We had a great stay at Troy's house! We actually got to stay in the house next to the apartment, the one we see on the backyard pictures. It was awesome! Troy and Dillon have been amazing hosts, provided us with suggestions, were very receptive to our needs and gave us all the intimacy we needed. The neighborhood is really close to downtown, Ladybird Lake, 6th street, etc. We rented bikes and it was very easy to go anywhere, also used Lyft to go from and to the airport. Was cheap. Buses are also very convenient and cheap. There was a drugstore nearby as well as a fun coffee/bar/BBQ place called Buzzmill and good restaurants. I strongly recommend this place! We will be back :)"
221348,32550833,2015-05-19,271547,Tracy,"My boyfriend and I were in Austin for a quickie wedding, and we were looking for an airbnb that could be a nice quiet home base. The studio was great for this. The host Troy was low key but friendly, and overall I felt very relaxed staying here. 

Things are walkable if you're willing to bear the heat. "

221348,34304477,2015-06-07,31786982,Shawn,"Had a wonderful time staying at the ""House of Songs""
Troy was welcoming and a pleasure to meet, offering helpful advice for exploring Austin. 
The space was clean, comfortable, and stylish. The location was absolutely convenient to downtown Austin, South Congress, and Riverside areas.  
Our travel plans included a late arrival, and they were able to accommodate our specific needs for checking in.
We would definitely stay at at this location again, and have opened our doors for Troy and his wife to visit us, should they ever be in DC/VA.  "
221348,35232655,2015-06-16,33321484,Christian,We had a fantastic experience here. Great place/great location. Troy was fantastic. Super responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to come and enjoy Austin. I plan to stay here again next time I'm in town
221348,35751662,2015-06-21,32721099,Logan,"Very easy and convenient, Troy responded quickly to all questions."

221348,39190667,2015-07-21,28027225,Vivien,"nice condo that has everything you need, located in a nice neighborhood. We brought our 25LB poodle with us. He liked the place too!
It is only 10 minutes to all the fun places. We had a lovely stay!"
221348,41151479,2015-08-04,39448444,Melanie,"Quiet neighborhood, yet close to everything we wanted to do! (Within 10 min drive) Perfect sized place for a weekend getaway. "

221348,46239404,2015-09-08,12834073,Shaun,"Our stay was great and the studio was just as good. Nice and quit, great AC system if you're worried about it, and less than 30seconds from the I 35 service ramp. Would definitely stay again and recommend. "
221348,46350626,2015-09-09,29926211,Laurel,This cute studio was perfect for my last night in Austin. Troy gave me the code for the lock box and I got my key out. Unlocking/re locking the driveway gate was a bit of a pain so I ended up going around the fence after the first time. The bed was comfortable and it is pretty close to the airport. My Uber to the airport was less than $15. I didn't use the kitchen except to brush my teeth in the sink but it seemed pretty stocked with everything you might need. 
221348,47967911,2015-09-22,37739146,Isaac,He made sure we had all the info.  The apartment was in a great locale for getting to and from events via Uber.  It was tidy and a good sleep for two big grown men.  Probably great for a couple.  My buddy said the bed was great and I'm a couch lover who loved this couch... and the AC.
221348,48478392,2015-09-26,34005139,Ashleigh,"The 'House of Songs' was perfect for my stay. I had a little trouble with the Internet, but other than that, it was great. Great location!! "
221348,48689976,2015-09-28,4797176,Lauren,"The studio was very modern, clean and comfortable for me and my boo. I was also happy that there was an acoustic guitar there for an impromotu song session. We loved the location and when we had one small issue Troy was super fast to respond and help us get it resolved. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are in Austin. Thanks again!"
221348,51287310,2015-10-19,18383159,Jeremy,"What a great place to stay while visiting Austin.  The studio had everything necessary for a couple to spend an enjoyable weekend.  The House of Songs is an artists retreat and we could definitely sense the creativity of the space.  We opened the shades to allow the natural light in the morning, while we lounged around, sipped coffee and did our morning reading.  The location is quiet for being a block away from 35 so we never paid more than $12 for an Uber (we went to the Carousel Lounge on 52nd St).  South Congress, Barton Springs, downtown Austin, all less than 10 min away.  "
8320268,47019410,2015-09-14,40973041,Kelvin,Enjoyed my stay at Michaels. He was extremely nice and of great help. Would definitely book again. A+
8320268,48037079,2015-09-22,42322992,Joshua,Loved staying with Michael at his house. He was the very professional and attentive. He is also quite the Fifa player as well as a skilled musician. Two things I hold in very high regard. Its been a delight to stay here.
8320268,50013346,2015-10-08,11079573,Edgar,"The house is very nice, but lied about some things. Not near to DT, everything is close by 20 min and you must have to use taxi.
Our host, very friendly, the house had everything you need
Something that is never mentioned, the house is full of pets
We were surprised to see a dog, cat and two pigs. we could not use the pool as it was all full of shit around the pool.
All my stay I had allergies and had to spend on medicines."
8320268,50859200,2015-10-15,36662963,Taylor,Michael was the best host! I felt completely at home and comfortable. Location is a short ride to lots of food and bars and if you're unsure of where to go he has a ton of top notch recommendations :) 
78831,197521,2011-03-12,307447,Richard,"Marcus has a great spot in Austin and is a great Host. 

If I am ever in town again I will definitely try to use his place.

A great experience

10/10 :)"
78831,201706,2011-03-17,424007,Linda,"Marcus was amazing. He gave us a lot of privacy and he checked in via text every morning to make sure that we're doing well. 

The Guest House has everything:
- high speed internet 
- a big ol' fridge
- coffee + coffee machine
- a stove
- two sinks (VERY helpful for me and my husband)
- snacks (thank you, Marcus!)
- juice

We had a lovely time. It was MUCH better than staying at a hotel. There's also plenty of parking on the street and the bus stop is a couple of blocks away. 
"
78831,202555,2011-03-18,440408,Hilary,"We had a great experience staying with Marcus. He was extremely helpful and hospitable (and has a great sense of humor to boot!). He provided detailed directions, and gave us a different set of directions when my boyfriend and I decided to take a bus into Austin rather than a train. 
The room where we stayed was spotless and full of character, and is only a two-minute jaunt to the #7 bus stop, which takes you straight downtown. Would definitely stay here again!"
78831,205744,2011-03-21,441616,Natalie & Richard,"Great location, great little apartment, great host!

The location is awesome cause its only three miles from downtown, but also has plenty of cool restaurants nearby, not to mention Central Market is just around the corner.

The place was the perfect size and with the bathroom split between two room, getting ready with multiple people was made much easier. Also to call it an apartment is an understatement, cause its more like a complex! We started our days with mimosas on the rooftop patio and yes even climbed through the fort. It was nice that the whole place was fenced in because I never had to worry about our bikes at night.

The host, Marcus, was the cherry on top! Not only was he friendly and accommodation, but was also more than willing to act as tour guide to us out-of-towners. Marcus was even kind enough to give me a ride downtown one day! 

I would definitely recommend staying here and both me and my friends will remember it for future trips to Austin!       "
78831,226382,2011-04-14,450949,Diya,"It was very nice to stay with Marcus. The room is very nice, the area pretty and convenient and Marcus makes sure everything is okay, and relaxed. "
78831,248469,2011-05-02,504731,Mateo,"Marcus went out of his way to make us feel welcome.  We had a late arriving flight into Austin, and Marcus stayed up to welcome us.  Each day, at least once a day, Marcus texted me to ask if everything was OK.  The one time I requested something, he accommodated us right away.  The place itself was just what we needed.  It's not fancy, but it was very clean and functional.  If you're more into enjoying the sounds and sights of Austin (rather than staying in bed all weekend -not that there is anything wrong with that :), this is a great home base.  Hyde Park is probably my favorite neighborhood in Austin, and 'the fort' is smack-dab in the middle of all the beauty.   

There really wasn't a thing to complain about.  However, in an attempt to be as honest as possible, I will note that - as advertised - the bed is a futon.  It's no problem if you are a rockin' 20-something (after a fun night out, you just need a place to collapse, right?).  But, if you are used to sleeping in a cushy bed, keep in mind that we are talking about 4 inches of padding, and that's about it.  The room is located in a separate building behind the main house - a big plus if you are seeking privacy.  There is someone living above the room, so you will hear occasional footsteps.  However, the noise was minimal and didn't bother us in the least.  The upstairs unit opens up to a great patio that overlooks the quaint neighborhood houses and mesmerizing pecan trees.  It was a lovely place to enjoy our morning tea.

There was plenty of amazing local ground coffee in the freezer, fresh half and half in the fridge, maps and snacks on the dresser, and a general feeling like your were being treated more like a family member rather than a nameless guest.  

Oh, and after we had checked out, my girlfriend realized that she had forgotten a special dress in the armoire.  I e-mailed Marcus the details, and the dress was sent to her that day.  Two days and 700 miles later, the dress and owner were reunited: what a guy!  I will recommend this place to any friend or family member time and time again.  Thank you Marcus!"
78831,268221,2011-05-17,542893,Aaron,Marcus Ollington was very courteous and concerned for the well-being of his customers. He went out of the way to make me feel welcome.
78831,273311,2011-05-21,348279,Yael,"Marcus was a wonderful host, and the apartment was cozy, quite, and peaceful.  I came in from overseas and realized after I arrived that I didn't have the exact address of the apartment.  So I decided I would just get in the general area and then call Marcus. But he called within minutes and was waiting for my arrival.  He emailed before my flight left and then I had another email from him when I arrived Newark.  It was all very comforting to know that when I arrived in the states, I had a cozy place to crash and get over jet lag. I highly recommend his place. I know if I'm in the area again, I'll be staying here again."
78831,307234,2011-06-10,460353,Evan,"This is the perfect location.  Private. Close to everything in Austin.  And a very gracious host.  Marcus was ready to help out with any thing I needed.  This is why I choose airbnb!  The community is the best! 

You'll want to stay here.  "
78831,314406,2011-06-14,614595,Karen,We really enjoyed our stay at Marcus' place. It had a very comfortable bed and was large enough not to feel cramped even with 2 of us there. It was easy to get to from 35 which allowed us to navigate easily around town even though we are not natives to the area. Marcus was a very enjoyable host-even gave us a ride to the concert we were there to attend!! He was very accessible both before & after our stay.
78831,339177,2011-06-27,735736,John,"Great area, nice place, good coffee"
78831,425804,2011-08-07,749963,Tiffany,"Marcus is a wonderful host.  He is very accomodating and  I would highly reccomend his Cool Hyde Park Effeciency to anyone.  One morning he delivered clean towels and a mini cherry pie.  What more could you ask for?  His place is very clean and has everything you need, including Austin charm.  The neighborhood is one of the best in town and you are no more than 15 minutes from anywhere in Austin.
I give Marcus and his Cool Hyde Park Efficiency two thumbs up!!"
78831,432280,2011-08-09,825114,Rosa,"The whole experience at Marcus' place was great. His place is amazing, very comfortable and we had plenty of privacy. Marcus was also super friendly. Although we were late by over an hour he allowed us to go into the apartment while he ran an errand. We had everything we needed, from towels, toilet paper, to extra pillows. "
78831,440837,2011-08-13,699468,Leslie,Our stay was too short but Marcus' place was just perfect.

78831,508768,2011-09-06,1032334,Jesse,"Perfect place to stay and we would definitely stay again if we get the chance. The place was clean, tasteful and felt very homelike. We were thrilled with the location and Host. The room is airy and light and was super relaxing place to lounge. We played in the fort, sipped a Shiner on the roof deck with the trees in the breeze, and visited with host and his fam. It was all around a great experience and we would recommend it to anyone who is a nice person and wants a nice place to stay. we definitely did not want to leave! Really can't say enough good about it. "
78831,518586,2011-09-10,758627,John,"We had a wonderful stay at Marcus's place.  It's nice and interesting unit in a great neighborhood that's very close to UT and downtown Austin.  Marcus was a great and helpful host that provided clean linens, extra bedding and tasty snacks!  "

Thanks, Marcus."
78831,676404,2011-10-30,1294305,Erika,"I highly recommend Marcus' accomodations.  He is warm, personable, and the location is in a verdant, historic neighborhood."
78831,699799,2011-11-07,1326899,Blake,Cool place. The real Austin experience. Marcus was easy-going and a great host.  Can't wait to go back.
78831,730670,2011-11-19,1360202,Terri,"Marcus could have been an anonymous landlord but instead chose to be a warm, welcoming host.  He stayed in touch through texting and made me feel comfortable about making requests.  He even helped with a last minute project for my son's school. 
"
78831,762880,2011-12-04,702386,Ellen,"I had a marvelous time staying in this efficiency. Hyde Park is my favorite neighborhood in Austin, and this spot was perfectly situated to maximize my time there. The space was very cute and had everything I needed. Marcus was a fantastic host and great with communication. Would definitely stay here again. "
78831,810260,2011-12-28,1431246,Jerry,"My wife and I stayed with Marcus over Christmas and really enjoyed our home away from home.  Marcus was very welcoming upon our arrival and made sure during our stay that we were well cared for while still allowing us our privacy.  The ""Burrow"" was a very comfortable digs for us and was great to come back to after a day out and about with family in Austin.  We will likely stay again on future visits. "
78831,853810,2012-01-09,278507,Michael,"Marcus was friendly and accommodating.  He and his property are good representations of Austin.  We enjoyed having our own space with a private entrance.  The room was as described.  The kitchenette area was small so don't expect to prepare any feasts, but it's good for storing and heating up leftovers.  Yes, as another reviewer pointed out, someone was living in a separate space upstairs, and we heard them walking around occasionally, but we never saw them.  A good choice if you're looking for a semi-private space on a funky piece of property in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin hosted by a very cool guy.  "
78831,862133,2012-01-14,1574528,Carlos,Memorable experience

78831,874883,2012-01-21,1561667,Martha Lynn,I booked this place for family guests that were in town visiting and Marcus was an incredible host.  My in-laws were psyched and I felt confident about the quality of the accomodations and the surrounding area. Everybody had a great week thanks in large part to Marcus' hospitality. 
78831,904902,2012-02-06,480829,Andy,"Marcus has a very nice and spacious apartment in a great location.

Marcus is an awesome host, he is friendly and he made sure all our requests were taken care of, he is great guy. I would stay here again.
 "
78831,932552,2012-02-20,1286189,Luis,"This was the 2nd time I have stayed at Marcus' pad, and everything was just as pleasant as the first time.  He was always just a text away and he made sure we had everything we needed.  I will definitely call him up again whenever I come back to Austin.  Great host!"
78831,944598,2012-02-23,25592,Brie,"Marcus was a great host. He kept the communication line open at all times. He followed up throughout the stay to make sure everything was satisfactory, which it was. Enjoyed the visit. The location was great. I was able to avoid traffic every time."

He checked in frequently to make sure there was nothing i needed, and gave great recommendations for restaurants, running routes, etc.  He was very accomodating - leaving me several kinds of herbal tea, bringing over an extra mattress for a friend who was visiting, and letting me use his iron & ironing board. ""The burrow"" is a great place to stay while visitng Austin. The room has everything one needs, and is located in a great, safe neighborhood.  I would definitely stay here again. "
78831,975036,2012-03-06,1578294,Ryan,"Marcus was awesome! The place was everything I expected and the hospitality was amazing. I wont forget coming back to the house and finding fresh baked cookies waiting for me. I plan to call Marcus again when I plan to stay in Austin in the future.

78831,984720,2012-03-10,49,Alex,"We had a great stay! Hyde Park is a neighborhood that I had never visited, and I'm glad we did. Food and drink is within walking distance. 

Marcus' guest apartment is cozy and clean. 

I'd stay again, if not just to meet Marcus himself since he was out of town during our visit."
78831,1005030,2012-03-17,1016814,Gayle,"Where do I even start - well first of all Marcus was my first experience with Airbnb, and from start to finish he was an absolute dream to work with.  He was very responsive and accommodating to any question/concern/ or request I might have had.  I was in Austin for SXSW which can be chaotic and stressful (if you've ever played or booked a show during the festival, you know exactly what I'm talking about), and the one thing I did not have to stress or worry about was my accommodations.  Although Marcus was traveling during my recent visit - he made sure that I was well taken care of by his family.  This place really is the epitome of what AirBnB is about - great people helping travelers without the burden of insane hotel prices.  

The burrow was amazing and just as described - and I would highly recommend this chill location to anyone (except for sxsw - cause I'll be staying there :) )!"
78831,1027281,2012-03-21,1016814,Gayle,"Where do I even start.... Firstly Marcus was my first experience with Airbnb, and honestly - they should use him as a spokesperson for the site.  To say that he was friendly and accomodating would be an understatement.  Not only was the place amazing and just as described, Marcus was super responsive and was very flexible with my time there.  And the location was a dream - close to everything but far enough away from the madness of sxsw.  Although he was not there during my stay - his family took care of me like I was one of their own (and he also emailed me several times during my stay to make sure I was being well taken care of).  I will DEFINITELY stay here every time I'm in Austin!"
78831,1043513,2012-03-26,1737015,Barbara,"Anne, Kiefer & Wallace were always pleasant to meet and accomodating to our needs (Marcus was out of town).  Loved the eclectic neighborhood & rooftop deck. Our Granddaughters enjoyed the playset. Nice quilt, cabinets, full size fridge. Liked the wall color wall and the wall sconces gave a nice cozy effect.  A few beers in the fridge and cookie surprise were delightful.

"
78831,1074859,2012-04-02,369317,Anne-Marie,"Clean, comfortable, and creative abode!  My husband and I had just a short weekend to visit our daughter in Austin, but Marcus' centrally located apartment was the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee, in between excursions. Marcus gave us good information and checked in to see that our needs were met.  We will stay again."
78831,1142624,2012-04-17,1747031,Ashley,"Marcus is the best. The ""compound"" is unique from the outside, like a castle kind of, and super cozy and cute on the inside with everything you need. Marcus is a real treat, he was very helpful and let us know not to hesitate to ask him if we needed anything. There was even coffee with cream and a few beers, which were much needed after a long drive. There is plenty of parking and great restaurants, bars and shops with in walking distance. Hyde Park is a great neighborhood. We would love to stay there again if back in Austin. "
78831,1180722,2012-04-25,487294,Roz,"Marcus clearly wants to retain his status as Airbnb SuperHost -- it is an extremely well deserved title! Marcus was an excellent host, checking in with us multiple times before our trip and during our visit. He shared restaurant and cafe recommendations and left us maps and a delicious supply of local beers. He was clearly invested in making sure we enjoyed our stay in Austin in addition to our stay in the apartment, which by the way, was spotless, comfortable and breezy! We loved waking up to the sounds of birds chirping and rustling leaves in the morning. Truly a great visit and happy to have made Marcus' acquaintance! "
78831,1201913,2012-04-30,2026781,Gavin,"I don't know what more I can add to the other positive reviews, but I'll take a stab starting with the location and accomodations:

The guest apartment is comfy, private, and clean with the ammenities that most people on a vacation would need: coffee maker (with coffee supplied by Marcus), wifi, large shower/bath, and a fridge and microwave to preserve and reheat the leftovers.  Having lived in Austin, part of my decision process in choosing to stay here was based on the location.  For those not from Austin, Hyde Park is a charming older neighborhood (designated historic district) with a sampling of turn of the century houses and 1920s bungalows.  Basically, for first time visitors wanting to get more of a feel for the city, the accomodations and neighborhood come highly recommended.  Also, for those who have a rental car, there's ample on street parking so finding a space to park on the same block is a non-issue 

In relation to the host, Marcus was on top of things and ensuring we knew how to reach his place by emailing clear instructions (including google map pictures) the day before we left for the trip.  Our plane came in at a later hour, so he made sure everything was laid out so that we could get access to the accomodations beforehand.  Unfortunately, our paths didn't cross while I was there as I was often off and doing things, but Marcus checked in to make sure everything with the accomodations were good and that we didn't need anything without being overbearing.  I have no doubts that had their been any issues or if I were a guest that wanted a suggestion on things to see or do, he would have been quick to resolve any issues or offer up a local's advice.  In addition, the coffee in the mornings and the complimentary array of Shiner in the fridge was enjoyed.  We were even treated to two small personal pies as his friend is in the business.

In summary, the accomodations were great and Marcus was an exceptional host.  Both Will and I had a great time and, at the end of the day, enjoyed the compli"
78831,1279745,2012-05-14,2259596,Buck,"Had an awesome weekend in Austin - lovely accommodations, spacious, clean, slept like a baby.  Marcus is a fabulous host, overall could not ask for a better experience.  We will be back!"
78831,1489871,2012-06-16,449551,Ashley,Marcus' bungalow in his enchanted yard is fantastic. My fiance and I thought it was the perfect homebase for scoping out apts. in Hyde Park. Marcus recommended wonderful restaurants and bars in his neighborhood and his dog Wallace is super friendly. 
78831,1598490,2012-06-30,2753494,Leslie,"Marcus (whom I unfortunately did not get to meet, this time) was an excellent host!  He is a prompt communicator and thoughtful host.  Marcus made excellent recommendations about dining and entertainment and made sure the apartment was prepared for my arrival, even though I had made a last minute reservation.  He has my highest recommendation and I look forward to staying at his apartment again."
78831,1747591,2012-07-19,2675135,Kimber,Marcus and Wallace were the most gracious of hosts.  The yard was an adventure and the stay was so easy in what were stressful circumstances.  Marcus always checked in to see if we had any needs and other than that he let us have our home away from home.  He allowed us to bring our dogs because we were in a pinch and made it so comfortable for them as well.  Thank you Marcus and Wallace!!!
78831,1781704,2012-07-23,2894080,Clif,Cute little private room with kitchenette.  Great location in Austin very nice owners.  I would stay here again.
78831,1801593,2012-07-25,3002420,Roderick,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and was very pleased with the process and how simple and smoothly everything went. 

Marcus was a fantastic host, offering us suggestions, recommendations, and great spots to check out in Austin as it was our very first time in such a great city. I am glad we stayed in an apartment that was just as interesting as Austin. There was just not enough time to check everything out!  

Marcus made sure to make himself available if we needed anything at all. We spent a total of two nights in the apartment and it offered everything we needed at a price that fit our budget. Marcus was very flexible with arrival and departure times as our schedule changed a bit. The neighborhood was quiet and inviting, with most popular destinations just a few minutes away. 

The fort was AWESOME. Whoever built it was a creative genius - if you stay here, I highly recommend you check it out. 

For those of you that are browsing and thinking of staying here - my only comment is to make sure you know that the bed is a futon; I am not picky at all, but others might be. 

I am officially hooked on Austin and hope to stay here again next time I vist!

Thanks Marcus and Wallace! "
78831,1846415,2012-07-30,3075177,Topher,This was our first time using airbnb!  Marcus gave us a very positive experience.  We booked very last minute and he was very accommodating.  We didn't cross paths much but he checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed. I will look forward to staying with him in the future.
78831,2005141,2012-08-16,832143,Ken,"Nice little garage apartment in the back of the house.  Fulfilled my needs quite well.   It was quite simple to get to UT by bus.  

Marcus was friendly and accommodating.

If you're just looking for a place to crash while doing other things around Austin, this works quite well.  The location was great for my needs. "
78831,2060071,2012-08-21,401524,John,"Great place to stay in Austin.  Very generous host and nice, private room to hang out in with WiFi, refrigerator etc.  Marcus is also a generous host.  Place comes with most key amenities (e.g., WiFi) but does lack an oven and kitchen table (for those inclined to cook, i.e., not me).  "
78831,2210766,2012-09-05,3371724,Christie,"Marcus was fun and friendly, very accomodating! Loved the fort in the front yard, the room was cute. "
78831,2242511,2012-09-09,3392419,Valerie,Marcus and his son were great people teaching me and my friend a lot about Austin. He helped us with getting a ride around if needed and also made us the best chocolate chip cookies as a goodbye present 
78831,2440202,2012-09-28,3598859,Janet,"Our stay was PERFECT!  Great location, great little funky-cool studio apartment, great host!  What we liked the most?  Marcus' recommendations for restaurants, convenience stores, and things to do.  He also had a couple of locally brewed beers waiting for us, as well as some snacks and GOOD coffee.  You won't find any of THAT in a hotel -- not to mention Wallace, the coolest dog-host on the planet!"
78831,2499656,2012-10-03,2897383,Hannah,"Marcus was an incredible host of wonderment and joy! He provided me with buckets of advice and help before I even arrived in Austin and, because he was away himself for a few days, had his lovely son pick me up from the bus stop. He even ensured that one of his family members had hemp milk in the fridge for me, so that my morning coffees could align with my heart's desire. The room is lovely and private with a full fridge and microwave, coffee maker, and plenty of space.

The location is wonderful, as it's in the gorgeous Hyde Park area with plentiful charming houses to wander around and look at. There are major bus routes a few blocks away taking you downtown easily, as well as a grocery stores and a vegan ice cream parlour within easy walking distance. Stupendous!

Thank you for the wonderful stay, Marcus! Oh, and your fort is the most amazing of all the things."
78831,2694371,2012-10-23,1177749,Jim,"We'll stay here every time we visit Austin.  It was clean, convenient, and having the kitchen was great. It's a fun place, with little unusual details, like the bathroom door painted in ""blackboard"" so you can chalk in messages.  And the tree house is crazy.  Marcus is a lovely host, leaving you daily surprises, like cold local beers and key lime pie!"
78831,2762965,2012-10-30,191856,Heather,"Marcus and Anne were extremely friendly, accommodating and generous with their time and space. When we caught news that my parents flight was cancelled due to the hurricane on the north east, Marcus made many efforts to try to find them alternative accommodation since his guest house was already booked with another guest. Their place is clean, cozy and accessible to many great places in Austin. I highly recommend staying here if you're ever in town! "
78831,2780055,2012-11-01,1109571,Phillip,"Marcus is an amazing host and I would highly recommend staying with him.  The listing is one of a kind and has really cool design.  

@Marcus - Thanks for being a great Host!"
78831,2876096,2012-11-13,2323140,Chris,"Great Location, Great Accommodations.  I highly recommend this place."
78831,2912062,2012-11-19,2585648,Amanda," We enjoyed our stay with Marcus this weekend. He was very easy to get in touch with, and checked in periodically via text to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. He also recommended great places to eat in the area. There was always parking in the street next to the apartment, and it is located in  a nice quiet neighborhood. If you are planning a trip to Austin we highly recommend this place!! Marcus is a great host and we appreciate  that he was easy to communicate with. Also sad we left so early sunday morning we missed the oatmeal cookies :( . Maybe next time..."
78831,3058338,2012-12-11,57666,Steve,"The apartment is cool, efficient, and nicely-crafted. There are places for all your things in the dresser, two upright wardrobes, and a generous set of shelves in the bathroom. Temperature-control has been a breeze. The heater (it's been chilly for this visit) has worked fine, and the ceiling fan keeps the air moving nicely. The neighborhood is quiet. That all adds up to easy sleeping. The apartment's been a good starting point for 4-mile runs. The host has been awesome, and the amenities - coffee maker, full fridge, microwave - handy. 
TIP: The bath/shower and sink are in a different room than the commode. Handy for two! (I am solo this visit.)
TIP: Plan to eat and work outside the apartment. It doesn't have a table  or work space. There are plenty of dining spots and cafes nearby. This is a good way to get into the Austin cafe culture. 
TIP: The apartment's near a 24 Hour Fitness, if you're a national member, like me. "
78831,3095701,2012-12-16,57666,Steve,Marcus is an excellent host. Staying at his place is terrific. The location is convenient and pleasant (I liked running in the neighborhood). Everything was comfortable and quiet. 
78831,3300380,2013-01-07,4333650,Paol,"The Ollington's apartment was the perfect place to stay in every way imaginable - the location was great (Hyde Park is a lovely neighbourhood), the host and his family was just the best and Wallace (the dog) was so much fun to play with.
I can't think of a better place to stay, and I will try to stay here every time on future visits to this amazing city.
Definitely worth the visit, even from far-away Germany!"
78831,3374745,2013-01-19,4578768,Amber,"Marcus's place was a fantastic hub for our Austin trip.  It's in my FAVORITE part of Austin--great area for restaurants and walking around and incredibly accessible to the rest of this great city.  The guesthouse is incredibly cool, tons of fun decor, cozy, and perfect for 1 or 2 people.  Marcus is a terrific host who checks in periodically to make sure his guests are enjoying themselves, AND (the best part) he makes sure you've got great coffee (from a local Austin coffeehouse) and the best beer around (Texas's own Shiner!)  Would absolutely stay here again.  "
78831,3457186,2013-02-02,3557610,Jessica,"We rented this for my Mother In Law who was visiting for two weeks to help take care of our newborn. It worked out perfect. The place is very cozy and convenient. My MIL felt right at home and was so appreciative to have her own space. I know she loved the bed and coffee! Now my parents are talking about staying here next time they are in town. 
We'd highly recommend this apartment for it's wonderful location, cozy bed, clean and comfortable apartment, plus Marcus is a joy to work with."
78831,3614172,2013-02-26,823993,Kate,"Marcus is the ideal host! He's super-friendly and personable, and very helpful when it came to suggestions for things to do in Austin. We really enjoyed our stay at The Burrow. It's a great little apartment with ample space for 2 or 3 guests (we were only 2, and it was perfect). It was very clean and the heating/AC worked just great. Also we really liked that the toilet is in a separate room from the shower -- incredibly convenient for more than one guest. And the neighborhood is totally awesome. Very walkable and safe, and so close to restaurants, bars, and all the great gems in Austin proper. Thanks for helping us make the most of our stay in Austin, Marcus! "
78831,3647470,2013-02-27,4835483,Conway,"Marcus was a wonderful host, taking great care to insure that we had all the essentials. We especially appreciated the detailed directions and our morning coffee. A very cozy and comfortable space in a perfect Hyde Park neighborhood location. Great climate control indoors in spite of rapidly changing weather outdoors. Marcus was gracious and flexible, helping us out with extra time when the airlines cancelled our flight. All in all a great experience that will make us want to return to airbnb (and Marcus in particular) in the future. 
"
78831,3699446,2013-03-05,1626036,Becky,Great location in Hip Hyde Park. Easy drive to downtown and the river area. Marcus was a great host. I would absolutely stay here again the next time I am in Austin.
78831,3726437,2013-03-08,5323255,Sarah,"Marcus was awesome!  He was so helpful and down-to-earth, and made me feel right at home.  The room was clean and stocked with all of the necessities.  If ever again I need a haven away from homed, I will certainly revisit this sweet little spot in one of the coolest neighborhoods in Austin.  "
78831,3770660,2013-03-13,30639,Chris,"I was planning my trip to SXSW this year and couldn't find hotels for cheaper than $350 a night - eek! Luckily Marcus' place was available for the interactive portion of the festival and I booked in immediately. 
Before even arriving, Marcus made me feel at home. He emailed asking me how I liked my coffee, if I wanted a beer waiting for me in the fridge, etc... I arrived much later in the day than I had anticipated and Marcus was extremely understanding and flexible. 
The unit itself was perfect. Quiet, cable, kitchenette and comfortable. Marcus pointed me in the right direction to catch the city bus in the morning which was only two blocks away. Marcus also pointed me in the direction of a Shell station about 5 blocks away that had the widest assortment of beer I have ever seen among other goodies.
If you don't mind staying outside of the downtown area, I highly recommend staying with Marcus! I am definitely rebooking next time I'm in town."
78831,3843549,2013-03-20,1016814,Gayle,"The burrow/compound is my personal destination spot when I’m in Austin.  Personally I cannot think of another location I’d rather stay at while I’m in town.  Not only is it perfectly located - Marcus ALWAYS takes very good care of me without being intrusive or creepy (let’s face it – sometimes the creepers can come out in droves when you’re a  woman traveling alone).   The space is exactly as described - private and comfy and it comes fully stocked with coffee (which is a must for sxsw week).  

Marcus is the ambassador of everything that is good about Airbnb…  He’s an amazing host as well as a great guide to all things cool in Austin.  Plus he’s an absolute joy to be around – so that doesn’t hurt.  All-in-all you’d be missing out if you didn’t try at least one stay at the compound!
"
78831,3889818,2013-03-25,1574072,Janette,"This was my 3rd visit and it was excellent as usual. I love staying at Marcus' place because: 1) it's the quintessential Austin room in a ""weird""  Austin neighborhood; 2) it's within very close proximity to downtown which can be easily accessed by bus, taxi, or even walking for the adventurous sort; and 3) all basic necessities are provided (beer, coffee, towels, privacy, wine glasses, and even soap!). 
Marcus has consistently provided a level of hospitality that exceeds expectations. I recommend this place to all my peeps. 
"
78831,4063669,2013-04-07,5199921,Erin,"Everything good that's been said about Marcus is true - he's fantastic! I was in Austin to do research at UT for 2 weeks, and I was so happy to be able to stay in his apartment, rather than a cheap hotel. He's a great communicator, and totally available to give you as much help as you want, but happy to give you space.  Because I was working, we mostly communicated through text messages, and he checked in regularly to see if I needed anything.  The best host I could have wished for.

The apartment itself is super-cute (and will soon feature an outdoor shower!!), and public transportation is easy-peasy.  Highly recommended!"
78831,4181832,2013-04-16,5196087,Emi,"This place was great. It had all the comforts we needed, plus the bonus of an outdoor shower! Marcus is a great host, very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again."
78831,4249964,2013-04-22,5215504,Nadine,"We had a great experience in Marcus' apartment with Anne as our terrific host. They really went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. Anne even made cookies! The little apartment was private, clean, and comfortable. It had everything we needed. It was extremely quiet and felt quite secluded even though it is convenient to downtown. We LOVED the new outdoor shower-- what a treat! Anne checked in with us via text daily to see if we needed anything, and had great suggestions on what to see and where to rent bikes. Marcus was in touch before we got there and was full of helpful information. The dog was friendly and the treehouse was amazing. The bed was a bit hard but overall this Hyde Park Efficiency apartment is an amazing deal and a great place to stay while in Austin. Thanks to Marcus and Anne for their hospitality!    "
78831,4360021,2013-04-30,107879,Aleka,"From the moment we made contact with Marcus I knew that he would be a great host and we couldn't wait to meet him. He graciously picked us up from the airport- made sure there was a couple of cold tasty beers in the fridge and set us up with some delicious coffee for the morning. The space was so lovely, exactly what you need for a weekend in Austin. Once we tried the outdoor shower, we didn't even use the indoor one ( I also don't think I will look at my shower the same ever again:) The location is wonderful, very close to the North Loop with a variety of bars and restaurants. Also a very short and cheap bus ride right downtown. Every was clean and tidy- wonderful space and vibe to the whole compound. Marcus was helpful with places to eat and we always knew he was available for questions at anytime. 

We will be back!!
Thanks again Marcus! "
78831,4434757,2013-05-05,1640313,Renee,"It was a pleasure staying at Marcus' place. Marcus is very personable and helpful. If you have any questions about the apartment or need recommendations for the best local food, coffee, drinks, et cetera, he's quick to respond and has great suggestions. The apartment is clean and cozy, just like the pictures on the profile. There are several restaurants and markets within walking distance; the neighborhood is really charming, so walking is a nice option.  Wallace the dog is awesome- a great bonus if you like scratching tummies. We'd definitely stay there again.  "
78831,4509668,2013-05-09,6073128,Thalia,"Marcus' hidden apartment was the perfect haven in a bustling town. We loved the quiet neighborhood and all of the birds tweeting (they start at 4:45am)! And of course, the outdoor shower is priceless. Thanks Marcus!"
78831,4838132,2013-05-28,6058244,Naomi,Austin was a great town and Marcus made efforts daily to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The coffee and outdoor shower were killer.
78831,4944739,2013-06-03,1596232,Mike,"Marcus was an incredibly hospitable host, checking in with us via text and email and making sure we had everything we needed.

78831,5293066,2013-06-23,3557610,Jessica,"This was the second time we reserved Marcus' place for our out of town guest. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. Marcus is extraordinarily easy to work, kind, professional, and always quick to respond.
My mother in law stayed in the apartment and she found it very clean and cozy. She was thrilled with the addition of an outdoor shower.
We can't say enough good things about this place or Marcus!"
78831,5371098,2013-06-26,6397269,Myra,"Marcus is a splendid host - very responsive to inquiries. He even went above and beyond to offer rides to nearby destinations with the attitude of a friend rather than just someone engaged in a business transaction.
The outdoor shower is indeed delightful. It feels private and yet provides a view of the wind in the trees.  The bed was firm and comfy and the neighborhood is great.  The little things also make it pleasant - (kitchenette, cold beverages in the fridge, chalk to write comments on bathroom door).  I highly recommend this Austin experience!"
78831,5618387,2013-07-08,1671416,Siobhan,"This is a very comfortable, recently remodeled efficiency apartment.  The private entrance, bathroom and kitchenette all added to our enjoyment of the space.  Its' in a great residential neighborhood with lots of restaurants and coffee shops nearby, only 5-10 minutes drive from Downtown Austin.  Marcus was a great host, and we would stay here again."

78831,5995684,2013-07-25,6938655,Randi,"This was my first experience with Air bnb and I am definitely impressed.  My stay at the ""Burrow"" in Hyde Park was exactly what I needed in the perfect central location.   My travel schedule kept changing and Marcus happily accommodated.   Everything you need is provided with the addition of free coffee and a freezer stocked with ice cream and other frozen goodies.   Communication from Marcus and Anne was wonderful, always making sure I had what I needed without being intrusive.  There were even "" welcome cookies"" when I checked in!  This would not be a proper review without mentioning the outdoor SHOWER!  An absolute fabulous way to end a hot day in Austin.  I was thoroughly satisfied with my stay and plan to return.  "
78831,6227764,2013-08-04,6616928,Shannon,"We had an amazing stay!  We had never been to Hyde Park and were very pleasantly surprised.  There are great restaurants serving local food, a quaint market, neighborhood park and pool within walking distance.  The grounds were so peaceful that it actually felt like we were staying at a retreat.  My eight year old son really enjoyed playing on the jungle gym while my older daughter and I spent quality time together.  The room was perfect and the outdoor shower was awesome!  Marcus was a fantastic host, providing information and ideas on what to do in the local area.  And by the way, the coffee was bold, flavorful, and roasted locally.  We definitely recommend the Cool Hyde Park efficiency apartment (aka, The Burrow) to all that visit Austin.  We will be staying there whenever we return to the area!  Thank you Marcus and family for making our short stay in Austin perfectly tranquil!   "
78831,6429688,2013-08-12,718307,Carolee,"Marcus' place is super convenient, charming & cool. He was a great host who checked in to make sure I had everything that I needed during my stay. Highly recommended. "
78831,6914457,2013-08-30,4080985,Alison,"""The Burrow"" was a cozy and charming place to stay.  The efficiency had a very welcoming feel, which was only furthered by Marcus' friendly and hospitable personality.  I'm also a big fan of Hyde Park, so it was an enjoyable experience all around.  Ooh and the outdoor shower was such a treat!  I missed that the second I left.  I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to others."
78831,7209916,2013-09-10,378749,Brian,"Our stay at the Compound was wonderful! Its very quiet, comfortable and cozy. Marcus and Anne were very attentive and cordial, and the gift of homemade cookies made it more special. I think the Best part was the outdoor shower that is large enough to accommodate three people  well actually more but that's a different story. I will definitely be back again and again!  If you're in Austin its a must stay place!"
78831,7402590,2013-09-18,8618865,Garrett,"We stayed in this great apartment for four nights.  Great experience with Marcus.  Nice private space with easy access in a quiet, lovely Austin neighborhood.  Not exactly within stumbling distance of 6th street if that's what you're after, but not too much further.  Outdoor shower=wow!"
78831,7811576,2013-10-04,5310956,Kenny,"The burrow was a great temporary home for me while I was apartment hunting after moving back to Austin. It's a great location, and the beer in the fridge is a nice touch too. Marcus will give some great suggestions about things to check out in the area, and was nice about checking in by text to make sure everything is good. Definitely recommend it!"
78831,8015813,2013-10-13,1324056,Kathleen,"These people have your back on EVERYTHING -- great digs, great location, personal attention.  A definite come-back."
78831,8349631,2013-10-27,7830780,Suzie,"Marcus was out of town for our stay but his guest hostess Anne was great! The space is super cute and comfortable and the neighborhood is really nice too. There is an awesome outdoor shower as well, a really great way to start or end your day.Even though Marcus was away he still made sure we were taken care of, we would definitely love to come back on our next trip to Austin, thanks for the beer and cookies!"
78831,8544544,2013-11-04,9595894,Shelley,We loved our stay at the Burrow! It was perfect for our weekend in Austin. I would highly recommend staying here! Marcus is great and we will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Austin.
78831,8697250,2013-11-12,9542064,Robert,"All was as stated, good, especially the cold beer in the fridge.  The area is quiet and makes for a peaceful stay.  "
78831,8805033,2013-11-18,9947979,Anton,"great location, thx marcus!!!
"
78831,8952258,2013-11-27,26924735,Amanda,Nice and clean.
78831,9001735,2013-12-01,9773434,Reesa,"Very friendly family helped me arrive and made sure I was comfortable. Outdoor shower!
Yes, I will stay there again. "
78831,9191069,2013-12-12,6123311,James,"The accommodations were comfortable and contained everything we needed for our 6 night stay. Marcus was a considerate host. He looked out for our needs and was quick to respond to any requests.
We look forward to going back during a warmer time of the year so I can enjoy strolling the friendly neighborhood."
78831,9974340,2014-01-22,3282736,Gina,"This was a great place to stay. Marcus was out of town during our stay, but his backup host, Anne, was very helpful and communicative. The place itself was clean and comfortable, and we would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Austin. "
78831,10069601,2014-01-28,11305605,Trish,"Marcus is an attentive host - offering assistance and/or privacy whenever desired.  On this trip, I wanted to be close to UT in the Hyde Park area...Marcus' abode definitely fit the bill!

Although too chilly to enjoy the outdoor shower, and not enough time to lounge on the deck, I appreciated being there and look forward to visiting again in warmer months, with more time to romp around savoring Austin's treasures.

Thank you Marcus, for helping me feel at home!  You're a good ""ambassador"" for Austin!
"
78831,10517297,2014-02-23,9565347,Michael,"This was an awesome Airbnb experience. The spot was clean, had a great vibe, and had everything needed for a good stay. The outdoor shower is just as excellent as all the other reviews here indicate! Marcus was a great host and the backup host Anne was just as attentive! Hyde Park is such an awesome part of Austin and I definitely recommend staying at this spot and checking out the local cafes/restaurants."
78831,10672704,2014-03-02,6946309,Daniel,"The house is cozy and well equipped with everything you need for a great stay in Austin.  For those of you who read that there is an outdroor shower, don't worry if it's cold out or doesn't suit you, there is an indoor shower as well.

The house is tucked into Hyde Park, a neigborhood just north of the UT campus and within walking distance to restaurants, bars, groceries, etc.

Marcus is an incredibly attentive host, many times asking if there was anything else that was needed.  I felt like if anything came up, he would take care of it for me.

If you are planning a trip to Austin, want to stay close enough to get to the fun, and don't want to pay a lot, stay with Marcus at the burrow!  "
78831,10749184,2014-03-05,6391154,Natalie,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it was a great one. Marcus was a great host and this Hyde Park apartment was the perfect fit for my girlfriend and I. The cold forced us indoors, but the one outdoor shower we got was amazing. I would like to only shower outdoors from now on. Marcus provided great recommendations and checked on us (via text) daily. There are quite a few great little restaurants (and coffee shops) within walking distance. This is very central location and we easily got to most parts of town (via car) within minutes. 
We can't wait to come back when it's not below freezing! "
78831,10956001,2014-03-15,11403573,Brittany,"This is really a great place to stay if visiting Austin. My husband and I were visiting for sxsw, and wanted a little retreat for when it got too crazy; this was just the  perfect place. The space is just lovely, clean, and quiet.  The neighborhood is beautiful and bi-pedal friendly! There are some sweet restaurants/cafe's/bars close by, not to mention a pretty great record shop and juice bar.  As for Marcus: he's just as great as all the things I listed above. He's friendly, relaxed, and welcoming. We wish we would have been able to spend some more time getting to know him, because like I said, he seems like a pretty rad dude, but regardless, it was so nice to have a home-away-from-home to come back to after our wild (and long) sxsw nights. We'll definitely be in touch next time we're in Austin!"
78831,11180946,2014-03-24,2323140,Chris,"This was my second time staying at ""The Compound,"" and I would definately recommend this place.  It's clean, has wifi, easy street parking, and priced just right.

This is a great place to call home when in Austin, location in Hyde Park, walking distance to the triangle or the restaurants on Duval. They have added an outdoor shower since I was there last.  It's impressive, although I didn't use it.

Marcus will make sure you have everything you need."
78831,11327562,2014-03-30,3846607,Dori,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Marcus. He anticipated what we would need or want. He was available and very helpful but not intrusive. Awesome suggestions on anything we asked. The outdoor shower was great!
Easy to find and a great Hyde Park location. We'll be back!"
78831,11410802,2014-04-01,1118965,Ann,"Marcus was hospitable and very good with communication during our stay.  He introduced us to his dog and stopped by to say hi and even offered some banana bread he had prepared.  The fort is very impressive and unique and there is a very nice, well-shaded park with a playground nearby.  The space is sufficiently private, comfortable, and homely and there were plenty of towels and rolls of bathroom tissue.  Marcus touched base with us on the first night to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy.  Great place! Good fun!"
78831,11540864,2014-04-07,12516223,Cory,"Marcus is a fantastic host -- I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Prompt, respectful, laid back, and clearly dedicated to providing his guests with the most accommodating experience possible. The apartment is very clean, quiet, and located centrally in a neighborhood perfect for anybody wanting to be close to virtually all the city has to offer. This was my first airbnb experience -- I must say that Marcus and his pad have set a very high standard. . . "
78831,11674542,2014-04-11,3013185,Jeffrey,We loved staying here and recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Austin. We definitely will be visiting again in the future.  
78831,11748382,2014-04-14,4578890,Bonnie,"We had a wonderful time here! Wanted to stay longer and just hang out in the outdoor shower all day which was GREAT! The room is spacious but has a very cozy feel as well. Very clean and full of cool art everywhere to keep your eyeballs entertained. Marcus took great care of us, providing us with anything we needed, and checking on us regularly to make sure we were squared away and happy. (Which we always were). The neighborhood is also cool, very eclectic and beautiful homes. I called Marcus's home, Pee Wee's Playhouse, because of the cool red building in the back. I highly recommend staying here, you'll love waking up every morning to singing birds, and an outdoor shower. Hopefully we'll have an excuse to come back soon!"
78831,11968267,2014-04-20,11951571,Sylvia,Unfortunately we were unable to stay because we had some personal hiccups on our trip - but let me say Marcus is fantastic and very accommodating -  he went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming - When I go back for work next fall - i will be definitely staying here - thanks Marcus! 
78831,12292257,2014-04-28,13665463,Michael,"Marcus and Anne were great and attentive hosts.  Before my girlfriend and I arrived, they made sure we knew how to get to the property, and they were flexible on when we arrived.  When we got there, they had left a couple of recent Austin area newspapers and magazines for us to read in our room as well as personalized notes about the property.  Since we don't drink coffee, they accommodated us by providing an assortment of teas and an efficient electric tea kettle that matched the room's decor.  Marcus picked the right beers to enjoy on a hot Austin afternoon (outdoor patio was a lot fun to hang out on), and Anne left some cookies for us on our second day.  The outdoor shower was extremely refreshing after a jog (there's also an indoor one if you're not that adventurous), and they provided plenty of towels for us to use.

The location was perfect for our needs.  We were able to walk over to Duval Street one afternoon for lunch.  Parking wasn't an issue, and since the room has a separate entrance from the rest of the property, we could come and go as we wished without worrying about disturbing anyone.  The room was extremely quiet and relaxing, and the vibe of the whole place is great.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I wish I had been able to climb the Fort.  Thanks for keeping Austin weird, Marcus and Anne!"
78831,12542489,2014-05-05,13042680,Scotty,Marcus was great. The place was great. The outdoor shower was a huge hit (sorry for your water bill Marcus). Location cain't be beat if you have folks at UT. I'll be back to The Burrow!
78831,13751097,2014-06-03,14965806,Marisol,"Everything was terrific! Marcus was great, as was the ""Burrow"". The location was close to everything we needed. Love us some MARCUS!!  THANK YOU AGAIN!
"
78831,13942597,2014-06-09,10033037,Steve,"Marcus was a great host, checking in prior to our out of town departure to ensure we had instructions for our night time arrival.  A perfect little jump off to explore Austin.  Nice residential neighborhood (close to our host family).  Marcus checked daily via text to make sure we were comfortable.  Great city for biking along the river.  As advertised!"
78831,14309318,2014-06-16,7064130,Christy,"Marcus was a wonderful host - extremely helpful with recommendations and was super attentive to any needs and questions we had.   His garage apartment was ideal in every way - size, location, comfort, and privacy."
78831,14573065,2014-06-22,2505575,Casey,"This place is awesome! The outdoor shower is amazing, and Marcus was very helpful"
78831,14992704,2014-06-30,16441510,Michael,"Awesome. This place has character!  Ideal location. And I was greeted with a beer in the fridge.  I'm moving to Austin soon and will have my parents stay here. A+ keep it up, Marcus!"
78831,15200524,2014-07-04,11563193,Rob,"Marcus is a great host. The apartment was as advertised and the neighborhood was great.
I chose this place because of the location, which is near to where my daughter was moving. It is central to everything you might need or want to do in Austin and the accomodations are as good or better than any I have stayed in.
I will be renting this unit from Marcus again upon return trips."
78831,15342746,2014-07-07,8017212,Kaytee,"Marcus was a great host from the start, before booking and though the end. He was easy to get hold of quickly. He gave suggestions of things to do and where to go, and had a cold beer in the fridge for my boyfriend, fresh cream for my coffee. Marcus was very flexible with check in, as we arrived very early in the morning (thanks again!). The location was very quiet but very close to several independent eateries and shops, and driving distance to bigger attractions. If you have a bicycle, bring it and enjoy the bike-friendly streets! It was clean, cool and had plenty of amenities for a few days. 
2 FYIs: The queen bed is very firm,with a firm box spring (was not a problem, but not my taste). The walkway from the driveway to the door of the apartment is dark at night, though I never asked Marcus if there are light to turn on that I might have missed. 
If you are looking to stay in Hyde Park, this place is quaint with a slightly eclectic vibe. Between the graffiti on the bathroom walls to the chalkboard paint on the door (yes, you can draw on it too!) and the outdoor shower, it represents ""weird Austin"". 
"
78831,15598320,2014-07-12,11349241,Dreanna,"I truly enjoyed staying at the Burrow, and you will too! Marcus is great at checking in and suggesting restaurants. I love, loved the outdoor shower (and now I want one at home)."
78831,15765951,2014-07-15,181010,Ellen,"Marcus texted us as we were approaching Austin to let us know how to find his place easily. He left two beers and other treats in the fridge for our arrival.  Although we were too busy to meet him at first, he left us great recommendations for places to experience in the neighborhood.  When we met, he was very welcoming and made us feel at home. "
78831,16150320,2014-07-22,17546465,David,"Great experience staying with Marcus.  He made sure I had everything I needed to stay comfortable from the minute I was there.  The neighborhood is nice and quiet, but still close enough to downtown and interesting areas.  I would definitely stay again!"
78831,16517190,2014-07-28,15695582,Amanda,"The location was great, the host was very friendly and helpful.  I loved the outdoor shower.  I did not find the futon mattress very comfortable, but other than that the place was good."
78831,17102052,2014-08-07,7830780,Suzie,"This was our second stay with Marcus and we were delighted to actually get to meet him this time! The place is great, very clean as always, and in a great neighborhood. Highly recommend! "
78831,17325532,2014-08-10,48911,Stephanie,"Wow. Of all my experiences with humankind, I can't say enough for Marcus and his lovely partner Gayle. From the moment of booking, through the duration of my stay, and even upon leaving I was treated with gracious kindness. Extremely respectful and responsive to *legitimate* questions (don't abuse kind hosts!)

If I were in the same situation again I would definitely stay here as much as possible - fortunately for me I was in the process of moving to the Austin area and this was a perfect intermediary pit stop to blissful life in Hyde Park. Can't say enough for the good, GOOD *goodness* of the stay."
78831,17875639,2014-08-18,7072228,Dennis,"Our experience staying in ""The Burrow"" was 100% positive. The place was clean, private, safe and located in a great old quiet neighborhood with many shade trees. And you couldn't ask for a greater sense of caring from our hosts, Marcus and Gayle. Many thanks to them both for their hospitality."
78831,18101001,2014-08-21,3027716,Charlie,Great spot in a really cool neighborhood. I would highly recommend booking this place. I certainly will again next time I'm in Austin. The hosts are super nice as well. 
78831,18280025,2014-08-24,19539344,Heather,"CONSIDERING A STAY IN HYDE PARK?  No need to look any further; you've come to the right place, and you won't find a better ""deal"" elsewhere. 

Anything you plan to do in Austin is a convenient hop, skip, and a jump away from this location. What makes this place even more special, is that it is tucked away in an adorable and quiet neighborhood. So when you want to kick back and relax, you're offered privacy and solitude... just as if you were right in your own home.

""The Burrow"" is its own little apartment, if you will, complete with a comfy bed, split bathrooms (toilet in one, shower in the other), TV, wifi, a mini kitchen, and... wait for it... AN OUTDOOR SHOWER! We had absolutely everything we needed and  could not have been more comfortably accommodated. 

Marcus and Gayle are two of the nicest people on the planet. They were in constant communication with us before, throughout, and after the trip (but not overly so, lol), providing great suggestions and ensuring that we were comfortable. Coffee, tea, and a sweet Austin treat were provided, and I was THRILLED to find Lone Star beers in the fridge, along with a sweet, typed letter from the two! :D 

After taking all into consideration, the price is actually a STEAL. Do yourself a favor, and book a stay with Marcus and Gayle. You absolutely will not regret it!


"
78831,18438561,2014-08-26,1031795,Marcos,"As you can see from all the reviews, staying at the Ollington Compound is absolutely the right choice. This cozy, hidden bungalow is like this quirky intimate oasis from the heat. Located in Hyde Park, it's a perfect place to dart in and out of, seeing the city and having adventures. My stay here was brief, but wonderful, and I can't wait to go back. Book it. It's wonderful!"
78831,19210205,2014-09-08,3267681,Tara,"Marcus' guest house (called The Burrow) was absolutely perfect for our weekend in Austin. The Burrow was clean, comfortable, conveniently located, and true to the listing. We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower and roof area! Marcus was extremely hospitable and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed (including coffee to brew in the morning and two ice cold beers to enjoy when we arrived). He provided detailed, easy to follow instructions/directions for getting to the apartment and offered awesome recommendations on the neighborhood. I guarantee I'll be reaching out to him again for my next visit! "
78831,19350362,2014-09-10,19703175,Rachel,"Marcus and Gayle gave us the best host experience we could of hope for. The place itself is a little gem and we felt at home instantly. Now we've moved onto our next stop, we're a little bit homesick away from our humble abode.

A+++++ couldn't wish for a better place to shack up! Enjoy the outdoor shower."
78831,19548577,2014-09-14,16429574,Gail,Marcus was a very warm and helpful host. The place was exactly as advertised. 
78831,19873129,2014-09-20,11448604,Jacey,"Wow! Marcus and his place were awesome! The place was clean, hip, and in a great neighborhood! Others have commented on the outdoor shower and it's just as amazing as everyone raves about! Marcus was also extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. At the same time, he gave us space to do our own thing and never interfered. He made it a point to check in with us to make sure we didn't need anything and even stocked us with a couple of local craft beers in the fridge to welcome us! We had a great time and I would definitely recommend staying at this place! Thanks Marcus!"
78831,20128643,2014-09-23,21546682,Jim,Marcus is a very helpful and gracious host. The apartment is nice and cozy tucked away on the side. It is spacious and well laid out and Marcus was even nice enough to setup a separate bed for my son to sleep on.  You must experience the outdoor shower because words don't do it much justice and the tree house is epic. It was a nice walk to the campus and a lot of the houses had their own funkiness to them. Their dog is about the most laid back dog in the world. This was my first airbnb experience and I hope the next one is just as good.  
78831,20356799,2014-09-28,15052094,Sacha,"Marcus was INCREDIBLY welcoming. We arrived to a beer and a pack of yoghurt covered pretzels... Fantastic! Throughout our stay Marcus kept in contact, gave us restaurant suggestions and made himself 100% available. With this said he also gave us our freedom and struck the perfect balance of being an attentive host whilst maintaining our privacy. 

Thanks Marcus. We had a marvelous stay!!

P.S. The castle/treehouse/jungle-gym is a fantastic place for a morning coffee. The outdoor shower was also great fun. :-)"
78831,20753459,2014-10-05,20526714,Tim,Our experience at the burrow was simply amazing. Everything we needed was available and Gayle showed us around and went over everything. I will never use a hotel again!
78831,20914250,2014-10-07,9649586,Walter,"
There are two reasons “Cool Hyde Park Efficiency” is rated 5 stars for every category and has a multitude of outstanding guest reviews—the place and hosts are awesome! The description listing was extremely accurate—there absolutely were no surprises or disappointments. Marcus and Gayle are welcoming and accommodating hosts, who respect boundaries but are also very willing to help.  Marcus checks in daily (via text) and is there to attend to one’s needs, if requested. The small apartment is very clean, comfortable and has a great energy/spirit.  This is a great space, in a wonderful location that is comfortable for a single occupant or couple. Oh yeah, the enclosed and private outdoor shower is amazing!!
"
78831,21123668,2014-10-12,6887149,Matthew,My wife and I stayed in The Burrow for three nights this past week. Marcus and Gayle went out of their way to make it a great experience from beginning to end. Marcus was very communicative and made sure we had all the details before our arrival. He even checked to see whether we would like some coffee or a couple of beers waiting when we arrived (and ended up giving us both). Gayle prepped the room for us to accommodate an early check-in. The room itself is very comfortable and the outdoor shower is great. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin.
78831,21434007,2014-10-17,21533600,Mr,"We had a perfect stay here for a few days. Marcus and Gayle are the most accommodating hosts. Marcus was even kind enough to pick us up from the airport on his way home from work. Arrived to cold beer, coffee and everything we could wish for. Really lovely, peaceful and safe area that is very close to great grocery stores, cafes, eateries etc... Bus stop into downtown is a few mins walk. If anyone is - like we were - overwhelmed and unsure of where to stay in Austin. You will not be disappointed with this one."
78831,21587428,2014-10-20,8616194,Barbara,Lovely note for us when we arrived.
78831,22177637,2014-11-01,14745448,Rebecca,"Marcus is great! I was greeted by Wallace with plenty of sweet dog kisses to say welcome to the neighborhood! The room is exactly as listed, cool, calm and comfortable. You're right in the middle of everything in this location. You could walk to the coffee shop or have a great vegetarian dinner at Mother's cafe however it is secluded enough for privacy and the neighborhood is full of character. I even signed up for an extended stay. Thanks for the hospitality and I look forward to a few more weeks of fun!"
78831,22757769,2014-11-14,14745448,Rebecca,Loved it! Wonderful!
78831,23007371,2014-11-20,14745448,Rebecca,Once again I was very pleased with my stay. Marcus couldn't have been a more welcoming host. I will definitely stay again.
78831,23203490,2014-11-25,20260986,Lisa,We were made to feel very welcome and felt at home.  Gayle and Marcus were very attentive and generous.  The accommodations were perfect.  
78831,23327844,2014-11-29,10801048,Katie,"The apartment is very cute and you have everything you need. Marcus even left us a newspaper so we could find events around town and made sure we were welcomed by our favorite drinks. The neighborhood is cute and quirky and close to everything. The bed was plush and comfy, there were plenty of extra blankets and pillows, great shower products and a blow-dryer. I didn't want for anything. Marcus checked in regularly and made sure all the info we needed was clearly displayed in the house or sent by email. No snags at all. A truly delightful experience!!"
78831,25228109,2015-01-10,21092864,Jonathan,"Marcus and Gayle were great hosts! The room was immaculate when we arrived. A round of beers were waiting in the fridge along with delicious fresh baked cookies and the cream I'd requested for coffee. While there were two beds as listed, the second bed is not nearly as comfortable as the first one, the only drawback of our stay. Efficiency apartment is an apt description, there is, however, a massive sun deck upstairs that we would have taken more advantage of had the weather been warmer. We'll be recommending this space to anyone we know looking to travel to Austin."
78831,25523941,2015-01-18,2990296,Jordan,"Marcus went above and beyond as a host, even providing us with coffee and a couple local austin beers. He was also quick to ask if there's anything else we needed. 

We used to live in Austin, so we didn't really need to rely on any recommendations, but he seemed to have a good knowledge of the city and things to do as well.

The neighborhood was great as well!"
78831,25762790,2015-01-25,10994473,Matt,The Burrow was great!   Everything I needed in one unique setup.  And Marcus' recommendations were fantastic.  The Shell is a must visit!
78831,26082261,2015-02-02,18995384,Leila,"First of all, the Hyde park apartment is adorable and packed with personality. I'd say it is perfect for a weekend stay. Don't even get me started on how badass the outdoor shower is... 
Secondly, Marcus was out of town upon my arrival but he still went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy, comfortable, and accomodated. The experience was ideal in every way possible from him making sure our morning beverage needs were met, to text messages to make sure we were settling in well. If there's anything you need, he'll make sure it's taken care of.
 Thanks so much to Marcus and his family- I hope I'll be ableto return soon!!"
78831,26332465,2015-02-09,22632502,Jamie,I would highly recommend staying at this place.  Marcus was a great host and the room has lots of character.
78831,26616760,2015-02-16,9711784,Birgitta,Marcus made me feel very welcome making sure my every little need was met.   I felt very welcome.
78831,26846930,2015-02-20,6449794,Sarah,"My host was great.  The place is very clean and sweet.  They supplied excellent coffee, a couple of beers and water and plenty of shampoo, etc.  I would definitely stay again.  There is an awesome coffee shop nearby called the Flightpath.  "
78831,27019627,2015-02-23,21895703,Jackie,"We had such a great, relaxed experience at The Burrow! We felt provided for and Marcus was easy to get ahold of when necessary. Being out first time in Austin we weren't familiar with the area and we were so happy we stayed where we did. Easy to Lyft wherever we wanted and some local shops and bars we were able to check out. Marus even had coffee and a couple beers for our arrival. Highly recommend this host and area!! "
78831,27335913,2015-03-02,9329217,Claire,"My manfriend and I rented this place when we came to town for a wedding recently. I used to live in this neighborhood and wanted to stay near my old stomping grounds. Marcus, the owner, was very helpful and attentive and the rental was just what I was looking for. Convenient location, lots of street parking, quiet, clean, cute, huge shower area, nice toiletries, real homey feel. Will definitely try to stay here again next time we come to town!"
78831,27659819,2015-03-09,24911632,Claudia,Marcus was a very welcoming host and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in The Burrow! Great location and very sweet accommodations. Perfect Airbnb experience.
78831,28116048,2015-03-18,4549916,Andrius,"Marcus went out of his way to make us feel welcome. He not only picked us up on our way from the airport, but he has also offered a ride to the airport as it matched his schedule. The place was a perfect location for our SXSW visit – yes, it’s not exactly Downtown, but the bus #7 ride takes just 15 minutes or so. You are super close, and at the same time you feel very close to nature – there are birds singing for you in the mornings, and squirrels running around. There a lot of nice places to eat nearby – try Julio’s and super-fabulous Mothers’ Cafe for dinner 10 minutes walk south. All in all, great choice when you are visiting Austin."
78831,28562939,2015-03-26,17638646,Kristin,"Very unique, nice place to stay. Marcus was a wonderful host and provided everything we needed for a great week. Definitely recommend!"
78831,28740763,2015-03-29,29244242,Cody,"Marcus and Gayle were extremely nice and welcoming! It was a very private stay; other than our arrival and departure, we didn't see Marcus or Gayle during our visit. Since it was our 3rd anniversary, it was nice to have the privacy. The outdoor shower and the upstairs patio were great. They even had beer and coffee for us when we arrived! The neighborhood was also nice & quiet. "
78831,29012404,2015-04-02,10179750,Katie,My husband and I so enjoyed our stay here! Marcus was so communicative and thoughtful down to every last detail! We had total privacy and loved the optional outdoor shower. Unfortunately we only met Marcus on our final day. I highly recommend The Burrow and hope to stay here again! 
78831,29281666,2015-04-06,27950145,Kelly,"Marcus and Gayle's cozy Burrow space is amazing!  They go out of their way to make sure their guests are comfortable and have a great time in Austin.
We were greeted personally by Marcus even though we arrived a bit later than planned.  Inside there were two cold TX beers and a package of locally made snacks waiting for us along with a lit lava lamp and a welcome note.  
The location is wonderful, tucked away in an eclectic, friendly neighborhood within walking distance to good eats, vintage shopping, and a variety of bars.  Parking was never an issue as there is plenty right on the street.
We especially loved the outdoor shower and waking up to the sounds of morning doves.
I am sorry that I can only rate this stay with 5 stars as it deserves a few more."
78831,29914179,2015-04-14,27557553,Dawn,"We loved our stay in Hyde Park.  Marcus and Gayle were very welcoming and helpful in offering suggestions. There was even a couple of local beers waiting in the fridge for us when we arrived along with coffee for the morning.  We felt right at home!  The accommodations were very comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect for us. Loved the feel of the neighborhood which was great for just strolling around, and there were a lot of great places close enough to walk to! It was so nice to come back to the Burrow (as they call it) everyday after exploring Austin, such a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. I would definitely stay there again!  It was just what we were looking for, and so much better than a hotel.  If you truly want to get a feel for the real Austin, I recommend you stay here!"
78831,30327717,2015-04-20,6845395,Pete,"Everything was great. Marcus was attentive, thoughtful and always available."
78831,30690711,2015-04-26,24835466,Kevin,"Complimentary beer and coffee. What more could a human ask for? 

The hospitality beat any hotel I've ever stayed at. It's located in the heart of Hyde Park which is one of the most culturally distinctive parts of Austin. It's a quiet and peaceful area close to some quintessential Austin restaurants and coffee shops.

Highly recommended.

If staying here, be sure to swing by:

Epoch - one of the best coffee shops in Austin
Flightpath - excellent coffee shop (5-10 min walk from rental)
Cuban Sandwich Cafe - hole-in-the-wall with the most gourmet cuban sandwich around
Mother's Cafe - vegan restaurant with best vegan chocolate cake in the world
"
78831,31760630,2015-05-10,5002757,Kelly,I really enjoyed my stay in this cozy and charming lovely haven. The place was very clean with plenty of  amenities to make it a home away from home.Marcus and Gayle are excellent hosts and are very attentive to their guests needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to any friend looking for a place to stay in Austin.
78831,32201292,2015-05-15,5938544,Bianca,"My experience with Marcus and Gayle couldn't have been better. They are so welcoming and the accommodations were great! Outdoor shower, perfection. Tire fort out front, so much fun! I like that the house is located in a more residential area so it's nice and quiet but at the same time easily accessible to downtown. Had a blast! Definitely recommend."
78831,32336176,2015-05-17,29509260,Stephanie,We had an excellent time here and highly recommend it! The room was comfortable and cozy with super-easy parking. This is a great place for anyone who wants to ditch the hotel for their own quiet corner. 
78831,32626199,2015-05-19,264568,John,"Marcus and Gayle are incredibly hospitable. There's free beer and coffee when you arrive and they have great recommendations about what to do in the neighborhood and around town. The neighborhood is a quiet, residential stretch though close to bars and restaurants and a short 5-10 minute drive to downtown, 6th street, and South Congress. The apartment is as described in the listing, an efficiency apartment in and outbuilding behind the main house with a private entrance. Very private, very comfortable. We had a great stay. "
78831,33059418,2015-05-25,21493042,Diane,Great place to stay. Marcus and Gayle made sure we had all our needs for our time in Austin. Very private area.
78831,35882868,2015-06-22,7647762,Linda,"When our original airbnb rental didn't work out (too filthy to stay) we reached out to Marcus & Gayle thru airbnb's website.  They responded quickly (thank goodness) and then scrambled to accommodate us within an hour.  We were thrilled.  The place is great - just Austin ""weird"" enough - eclectic/industrial design that really works.  Loved the colors and the funky little things to discover - polished concrete floors, faux fossils in the cement, the graffiti wall design in the ""throne"" room and the chalkboard painted bathroom door with a bowl of chalk!  The ""burrow"" was also spotless, well stocked & accessorized and nicely located to do all the fun Austin stuff we wanted to do.  Marcus offered advice on food and music that was spot on - we really enjoyed the Little Longhorn Saloon (went twice) and the popovers at Foreign & Domestic.  He really helped turn what could have been a disaster into a great vacation.  The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing - we felt bad when we came in late at night and our rental car honked when we locked it - but no one complained.  Sorry Hyde Park!!  To sum up:  great hosts, great location, great room - would stay there again in a heartbeat.  I highly recommend!!  Go, stay, have a good time.  Marcus and Gayle definitely deserve their ""super host"" status!"
78831,38176761,2015-07-13,1118965,Ann,He made us feel welcome by coming outside to say hi while we were outside on the tires.  He also periodically sent text messages to see how we were doing and to make sure we had everything we needed.  We were given very good directions and activity/restaurant recommendations based on our preferences and lifestyle.  
78831,38885599,2015-07-19,10953872,Carla,"Marcus and Gayle are the best!
And the 'Burrow' (as they named the apartment) is too groovy...every time we looked around there was another cool art detail we had not noticed...I was particularly enchanted with Batman in the 1/2 bath....look closely whilst sitting!!!
And the outdoor shower is AWESOME!!! (There is also shower inside for you traditionalists!)
The roof top deck is THE place to hang out and just chill!
The location was perfect for my daughter and I...walking distance to many of our Hyde Park favorites...the Elisabet Ney museum, Quack's bakery, Hyde Park Bar and Grill, Dolce Vita coffee shop/bar, Antonelli's cheese, and Mother's Cafe...among others! 
It was as if we were staying in a secluded park...but in the midst of things if you just ventured out a little ways!
AND the AC worked like a champ on some of the hottest days to date in Austin!!
We WILL take advantage of this spot on a future visit!"
78831,39714968,2015-07-25,30162763,Clare,We had a great experience! Marcus was very welcoming and attentive. The neighborhood is lovely and the place is within walking distance of some very good restaurants.
78831,42291098,2015-08-12,25952960,Mandana,"We were fortunate enough to stay at this awesome burrow for a month and could not have asked for better hosts.  Marcus and Gayle are wonderful people and they make you feel right at home.  We were welcomed with a bottle of sparkling wine and a kind note.  Throughout our stay, Marcus and Gayle would check in to make sure everything was going well.  They even offered use of their washer and dryer! 

Not only are the hosts amazing but so is the burrow itself.  It's spacious, private, and surrounded by greenery.  Plus, there's an incredible outdoor shower!!

A peaceful spot just a few miles from downtown Austin, what more could you ask for?
"
78831,46015645,2015-09-07,12901184,Liliana,"We loved our stay in the Burrow! It was an incredibly hot Labor Day weekend in Austin and after being out all day it was nice to come to the air conditioned Burrow and cool off in the awesome outdoor shower! 

We loved the neighborhood. It's residential but it's walking distance to restaurants, markets, and cafes. We loved walking around the neighborhood. The houses are beautiful! We rented a car so I can't tell you much about the public transportation in the area but we got everywhere we wanted to go very easily. 

Marcus and Gayle are excellent hosts in that The Burrow has everything you need and also they are so great with their responses. They will often respond to you within minutes. My husband was waiting in line at Franklins BBQ (which is amazing by the way) and I drove home to feed our daughter. Once I got there I realized that my husband had the house keys. Doh! Gayle was able to have the place opened up for me within minutes and they even let us borrow some camping chairs while we waited. 

Lastly, the unit is so reasonably priced and we feel that Marcus and Gayle go above and beyond for what they're asking. I highly recommend staying at The Burrow! "
78831,48069884,2015-09-23,37331776,Ruth,"This was a great Airbnb in a wonderful neighborhood. It was so easy to get all our events in the Austin area. Clean with lots of fun amenities left for us by Marcus. Although we were gone almost all day every day of the week we stayed, we were always happy to unlock the door and chill in our comfy, air-conditioned ""burrow"" under our outdoor, second story deck. LOVED the outdoor shower, also.  "
78831,49689550,2015-10-05,42947050,Tish,"The Burrow was awesome! Marcus & Gayle greeted us promptly on our arrival. The neighborhood was great! We walked to many of the recommendations given to us by Marcus during day & night - the area felt safe & friendly! Our favorite attraction in The Burrow was the outdoor shower! We loved it and didn't mind sharing! The weather was great so we left the windows open with no need for the AC, hearing all the sounds that come from staying in someone's ""backyard"" wasn't a problem for us, it added to the experience & made it memorable & different from any stay we've had before. This was our first experience with Airbnb & it will be the first of many. The personal touches from a personalized letter to us including a birthday wish for my hubby to the beers in fridge made it great! We would highly recommend staying at ""The Compound"" "
78831,52497472,2015-10-30,13446449,Barbara,What a perfect stay! The Cool Hyde Park Efficiency Apartment was the ideal spot for our week-long stay. Be sure to try out the outdoor shower too. Stay here! 
78831,52971775,2015-11-03,5888824,José,"My stay in The Burrows was perfect. Even I didn't have so much chance to interact with Marcus (too tight business schedule), he did everything to make me feel at home. 

The place is very nice, clean and located in a quiet residential neighborhood. You definitely need a car to go downtown or to the UT Campus, but there are a few coffee shops and restaurants a few blocks away. 

The bed is very comfortable, and there is everything you can need during your stay. The first day I had some troubles with the noise of the fridge, but the sound of the birds and the quietly peace will make you sleep nicely.

During my time there, Marcus was always interested on my needs and requirements, so I would always recommend to stay in The Borrows."
6792049,40875532,2015-08-02,36900210,Trotter,"This was a positive experience. 

Mark is a nice guy, and really quick with answering questions/concerns. 

I stayed two nights without any hitches or issues come up.

Like he says in the description, this is a shared room scenario--air mattress in the living room. It was fine - tidy, blankets and pillows, and in a nice location. I was looking for a place to sleep at night, not somewhere to pass the time. So for me, this was a great choice.

For anyone who doesn't mind sleeping in the living room area (the room that opens up to the outdoors), this is a nice setup with a really nice host.

And for anyone driving, it's nice that there's free parking outside, as well. Close to Zilker Park / Barton Springs / Greenbelt Area.

Mark's a great guy. Shared a bottle of wine with him and talked about places to go, things to do, life, etc. 

"
6792049,48652939,2015-09-27,4304132,Rob,Mark was great. He made sure I could get in easily as soon as I got to town and made me feel completely at home. I was able to talk with him for a bit the next day and he's hilarious. Thanks again! 
6792049,49621136,2015-10-05,25122125,Zach,This was a good place to stay if your cool with a no frills experience. All my needs were met with a nice air bed to stay on and a clean shared bathroom. The location is fantastic and Mark was cool and accommodating.
6792049,50282211,2015-10-11,17483969,Olutola,"Mark was a very nice and understanding host; the space was very clean and comfortable for the short period I stayed there. 
"
6792049,50520643,2015-10-12,12337257,Chema,"Mark was always responsive to my messages and questions about how to arrive to his place. It has a great location close to downtown. I was in town for a music festival, so I only needed a place to stay for the night. The inflatable bed worked great and I got a good night's sleep. "
7900355,53234588,2015-11-06,48114535,Claire,Great place! Also very considerate. He will reach out if you leave something. Really close to downtown! 
4233053,22544185,2014-11-09,22343331,Jennifer,"I had a great experience staying at Kelly's apartment. The space was exactly as described and very homey with a super comfortable bed. She provided great directions from the airport, which was very helpful in finding the apartment quickly after a very late night arrival.

I had a great experience and would absolutely stay again!"
4233053,32373633,2015-05-17,16710225,Phil,"We loved our stay here. It is in a great location, everything was clean, and the bed was really comfortable. We forgot a couple items in the apartment and Kelly was nice enough to mail them to us when she got back. We would definitely recommend her apartment to anyone visiting Austin."
4233053,35741710,2015-06-21,5245741,Lauren,Kelly's place was awesome! Super cute and comfortable. Centrally located. Easy to get to and Kelly answered all my questions quickly. 5 stars!! 
4233053,41871234,2015-08-09,886834,Roxanne,"We didn't have an opportunity to meet Kelly as Google maps had our arrival time pegged considerably different than we had intended. But she was completely understanding and ensured we had access. Her apartment was exactly as described, super cute and close to everything we needed, including restaurants, a grocery store, transit and designated car2go spots. We didn't make it to the pool, but did hit up Barton Springs, as she suggested. Great style and an amazing, fluffy, cloud-like bed! All in all a wonderful experience, we'd happily stay again. Thanks Kelly!"
4233053,49692725,2015-10-05,9965124,Jess & Jason,"We stayed at Kelly's place for ACL weekend and found it a quiet and comfortable respite from the Zilker Park bustle. We felt right at home and enjoyed imagining Kelly's travels indicated by her global decor. Kelly was very responsive and a warm host, and we wished we could have met her during our stay but she was out of town. The apartment complex is convenient to both local and express buses, which we took a couple miles north to Barton Springs Road to get to the festival, and which continue on to downtown Austin. It's also walkable to a Sprouts grocery, the Wheatsville food coop and Starbucks (plus a brand new In n Out Burger, not yet open, but will be soon if that's your thing!). We definitely recommend Kelly's as a place to base yourself in Austin. "
4346425,23338059,2014-11-29,3517456,Matt,The home was quiet and the neighborhood was really nice.  Wanted to shop for a house in the neighborhood as they were charming.  We would definitely come back to this home.  The place is attached to the main house but it has a private entrance and as I said before it was quiet.  The home is close to University of Texas as advertised.
4346425,23526602,2014-12-03,22442700,Nancy,Great location near UT in a lovely neighborhood. The home was private and very nice. We were very happy with our stay!
4346425,30625713,2015-04-25,2303217,Julie,"We had a great stay. The house layout worked really well for us with a one child because there are two separate sleeping areas. The neighborhood was green and great for walking around - lots of parks nearby, but also very close to lots of restaurants, bars, and shops. We didn't spend a lot of time inside the house, but it worked well as a base to explore the area. There was also convenient street parking right outside. "
4346425,49429862,2015-10-04,22222948,Zane,Neighborhood very quiet and safe at all hours of the day and night which I appreciated. The house itself was as described and I never ran into any issues.
3129625,17320510,2014-08-10,8289942,Bonnie,"While staying in Austin to attend the wedding of a friend at Chapel Dulcinea, my fiance and I had the pleasure of spending the night at Jeanette's place.  We were welcomed at the cottage and given the grand tour upon arrival.  Jeanette was the perfect host, and the house is incredible.  The photographs are great but really do not do this place justice. Everything is sparkling clean and all of the creature comforts are present.  Jeanette has really done a fantastic job furnishing the place and providing all of the little necessities that you might forget.  We chose this place due to it being only 5 minutes from the Chapel.  It turned out to be better than we expected. Driving into the city only took about 15-20 minutes.  The Saltlick BBQ pit is just only 10 minutes away and we had a fantastic lunch there.  We were also celebrating an anniversary, but decided to stay in and make dinner!  The kitchen is fully stocked with every pan, dish or utensil you could possible need.  It was a comfort to be able to prepare a meal in an unfamiliar environment and not want for anything.  The setting is picturesque with many trees and the cottage is set back off of the main road.  We saw lots of wildlife -- deer, rabbits and birds mostly.  The surrounding area is so peaceful and quiet, we were content to just sit out on the porch at night and stare at the stars.  Whether you are a wedding guest at Chapel Dulcinea or just looking to get away for a weekend, I would highly recommend staying here.  We will definitely be back!  "
3129625,18349733,2014-08-25,19584476,Joy,"Thanks to Jeanette for being a perfect hostess for our girl's weekend!  The cottage was more spacious than we thought it would be, had everything we could possibly need, and the location was terrific for everything we had planned...Austin, Wimbereley and Pedernales Falls.  Waking up and having coffee on the porch overlooking the hill country was the absolute best way to start each day!  I would definitely recommend this quiet little retreat!"
3129625,18868463,2014-09-01,20735551,Michael,Loved staying at Jeanette's cottage. She ran her home like a 5 star hotel. I will recommend this to my friends and will use her again. Beautiful place and designed every smart. It was an oasis.  
3129625,22151721,2014-10-31,19681367,Richard,"Staying at the "" Super Cute Cottage"" was better than expected.   The cottage was beautiful, inside and out.   The location of the cottage is so peaceful and the cottage is beyond comfortable.   We had everything we could possibly need.   Jeanette and her husband were gracious hosts.   We truly loved our stay.  "
3129625,22597425,2014-11-10,22378468,Melissa,"This cottage provided my husband and I with a lovely, cozy home while I attended some business meetings in Austin. The location is beautiful, and we enjoyed the views from the porches at sunrise and sunset. The wildlife watching was another perk. I enjoyed listening to a conversation between a distant rooster and a nearby owl early one morning as I blissfully enjoyed my coffee on the back porch, and we spotted deer on several occasions. The cottage is larger than we expected, and the photos here, while striking, don't completely convey the charm of the place and impressive taste of Jeanette, who is a wonderful host.  The cottage is well appointed and stocked with essentials.  We chose to breakfast and dine in as often as going to restaurants, which are nearby (as are grocery stores). We loved this place, and we plan to return.  The peace and solitude here made what was initially a working weekend into a restorative three days. Thank you, Jeanette, for sharing this sweet spot with us!"
3129625,22846789,2014-11-16,22824025,Chris,"Hi Jeanette - Wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed our stay at your cottage! We were comfortable (Lenny too!), enjoyed the quiet relaxing atmosphere and hope to be back soon! We would love to be able to enjoy the outside patios when the weather is nice! I was thrilled with the great blender and fruit selection which allowed me to make my morning smoothie!"
3129625,23125422,2014-11-23,800779,Carmelita,This house is just wonderful. Absolutely beautiful setting and everything you could possibly need inside. Jeanette was also very friendly and accommodating. I would def rent here again for the amazing views alone!
3129625,23252686,2014-11-26,23750733,Anthony,"Terrific little spot out in the country. She met us and greeted us with all sorts of information, stocked with coffee, bananas, tea... And cookies! Wonderful host, superbly kept and immaculately clean. Really look forward to going back and spending more time here!"
3129625,23838271,2014-12-12,11298783,Dave,"Outstanding property.  On a scale of 1 - 10 the cottage was an 11.  Neighborhood is great, nice and quiet with little vehicle traffic.  Night skies were awesome without the light pollution of the city.  Totally enjoyed our visit.  Jeanette is a wonderful host that has anticipated everything you can need while staying in the cottage.  Again, this was just a great place to stay, host and cottage were fantastic.  Thanks"
3129625,24830174,2015-01-03,18277305,Jen,"What a wonderful place to spend a holiday! My family came in for the birth of our child and this cottage was a true oasis and home away from home.  While it is close to town and shopping, it allows for privacy and beauty that cannot be see in town. Jeanette was an amazing hostess and the home was super clean, well stocked for cooking and entertaining family and relaxing. We will definitely be booking again in the future!  I give this booking 5 stars!  "
3129625,25266834,2015-01-11,6210696,Gary,"What a gem!  We were so impressed with the cottage and the ambiance.  Jeanette was on the case and met us when we arrived and took us through all the extras she has provided for.  The cottage is absolutely beautiful and comfy and has everything you could want for.  We had a special occasion in Driftwood but, would definitely come back again for some R and R.  "
3129625,26281470,2015-02-08,6663739,Dawn,"We loved our stay at Jeanette's guest house. She was there to welcome us and show us around. The house is adorable, beautifully decorated, comfortable and well-located (for what we wanted). We had everything that we need. The guest house is very private and from the back, you only see awesome Hill Country views. I only wish it had been a little warmer in the mornings and evenings, so that we could sit outside and enjoy it more. Their sweet, old dog Thelma wandered down to say hi a few times...very gentle. It is 1 bedroom, plus a small foldout couch in a separate space (without a door), plus the regular couch. We had two teens sleeping in these spaces, and it worked out okay. We probably wouldn't stay any longer than 2 nights with that many people, but for the weekend, and teenagers that sleep well no matter what, it was great. If it was just the two of us though, we might just move in! "
3129625,26857561,2015-02-21,16831715,Janice,"What a beautiful cottage and a fabulous experience. Jeanette was so well prepared for us and we honestly felt ""like family"". I could not think of one single thing that she could improve on. My only regret was that we were only staying one night! I would definately stay there again and recommend it to friends who are visiting the area."
3129625,26919369,2015-02-22,2469855,Paris,"Our host Jeanette was very attentive upon arrival. She's charming and inviting. She walked my family through everything in the house, from needing extra blankets to bottle of waters in the pantry. 

The entire place was polished clean and lovely decorated. 
A hidden jewel tucked away in the middle of the Austin's wine country. Peaceful and had all the convenices within minutes of drive. "
3129625,27282762,2015-03-01,27544488,Velia,"Jeanette,

We spent a quiet girls' weekend with my mom and sisters.  You made our stay so enjoyable.  We particularly loved the views and everything was stocked in the home and kitchen for a great weekend ""in.""  The weather was cold; but we enjoyed staying in and watching movies all day.  I would definitely come back and recommend to others!

Take care,

Velia"
3129625,27491918,2015-03-06,24974994,Peternelle,"I loved my stay in Jeanette's cottage. It's quiet, comfortable, warm (very cold weather the week I was there, but I was quite cozy), while also airy and light-filled. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in, and it had everything I needed (and more). The entire cottage is beautifully furnished. Jeanette is wonderfully welcoming and helpful. She met me when I arrived (although it was late), and showed me around. The cottage feels removed and private, and the surrounding country is beautiful. It's also just a short drive to amenities and restaurants. The best of all possible worlds. I will definitely return. "
3129625,27736347,2015-03-10,28225784,Sylvia,"I can't say enough good things about Jeanette and her lovely cottage and hospitality!  The home was BEAUTIFUL, FULLY FURNISHED, and quite peaceful!  A great getaway for long or short trips!  BEFORE our arrival, she stocked the kitchen with some of our favorite breakfast foods, which is truly ABOVE and BEYOND.  Her doggies are adorable and we couldn't have asked for a better stay!  Thank you so much, Jeanette!!"
3129625,27868134,2015-03-14,3963103,Kyra,"Jeanette and Robert were wonderful hosts. Their attention to detail and the amenities that they provided surpassed any airbnb experience that I have had to date. The house was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and they had pillows, comforters and towels to spare (which are often lacking in most airbnb experiences). I have never encountered a more comfortable mattress on a pull out couch - better then most regular bed mattresses in my experience. The house is located in lovely semi rural location on the edge of the hill country with privacy, quiet and views. I think one of my favorite parts of the trip was enjoying the morning on their porches drinking coffee with my mom and a glass of wine in the evening as night fell upon the gorgeous landscape. Their  low key and sweet puppies, Tigger and Thelma, made the experience all the more special with daily visits to spread their love. Thelma especially made us feel welcome by stopping by to say ""hi"" in the morning and when we came back in the late afternoon. The location was perfect as a home base for exploring both Austin and the Hill Country but the house was comfortable and well stocked with amenities in case you prefer just to hang out. My parents and i stayed for only 2 nights but will definitely be back ourselves and will not hesitate to suggest their cottage to others.
I HIGHLY recommend Jeanette and Robert's Super Cute Cottage!!!!
Thank you both for such a wonderful experience."
3129625,27919486,2015-03-15,25661513,Caroline,"Jeanette made my stay feel so welcome. This cottage feels like a home away from home with the comforts of home and thoughtful touches, and I would certainly visit again. 

The cottage is situated on her property in the middle of Texas hill country, and is a close drive to several wineries in this region. Worth the trip! "
3129625,28166735,2015-03-19,26909512,Kelli,"Jeanette was very responsive prior to the stay and was waiting for me when I arrived. She had all kinds of fruit and homemade cookies. 

The place is adorable and very nice! It is just as pictured with deer and other wildlife in the area. I would highly recommend this great getaway.

Very nice place!"
3129625,28301090,2015-03-22,20485854,Britta,"We had an amazing experience staying at this cottage! Not only is the location and house gorgeous, the host, Jeanette could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The sweet dogs who live in the big house were an added bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I would definitely come back here if I am ever in Austin again.   "
3129625,28752335,2015-03-29,29690829,Karen,"Jeanette was extremely welcoming and quick to respond to any questions. The house is beautiful, with a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, and a relaxing view. It was perfect for our long weekend. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning!"
3129625,30971717,2015-04-30,12577747,Scott,"My wife and I rented this cottage for the month of April and Wow!  We found this to be the best place we have ever stayed!  Jeanette has beautifully decorated this quiet clean cottage, and equipped it with everything you can possibly need.
She and Robert were the most gracious hosts, they are lovely people.  Our last night we had them over for wine time and had a delightful chat.  The cottage is set up so you feel like you are living on your own slice of the Hill Country only minutes from all Austin has to offer.
This park like setting, allowed us to walk down the country lane and feed the neighbor's horses some apples.  My grand-kids 4 and 3 years old loved the horses, goats, chickens and deer walks we took.
What a wonderful time, we hope to revisit Jeanette and Robert in the future.  Scott & Roberta Wiesehan"
3129625,31169910,2015-05-03,7633323,Anne,What a beautiful cottage and property! We enjoyed our one-night stay here. Jeanette was very friendly and helpful. She kindly offered us breakfast foods and snacks. 
3129625,33630770,2015-05-30,34228349,Ashish,"We had a very pleasant and comfortable experience at Ms. Welshes' cottage. We were there for 4 nights, amidst wonderful weather. Ms. Welshe was extremely accommodating in allowing us to check in later in the evening, and was courteous to greet us at the cottage at the late hour. She toured us around the property and the cottage, and explained all the facilities and safety instructions to us, without being imposing in any way. The facilities and condition of the cottage was at par with the excellent standards Ms. Welshe has maintained, clean, comfortable, and inviting. The stay was enjoyable, and Ms. Welshe was always approachable for any queries, yet never intruded in our space in any way. In fact, she and her wonderful husband made the effort to educate us about some of the flora and fauna on her massive property. Her pets are very friendly and a delight to have met. We were hoping to extend our stay for several weeks, but alas, the popularity of the cottage left us waiting till a future date to return! I highly recommend this accommodation and thank Ms. Welshe for her hospitality. "
3129625,34144849,2015-06-05,32988142,Anders,"Via mail höll vi kontakt och stämde av tid för ankomst etc.
Det fungerade jättebra även om vi på grund av försenat flyg anlände dagen efter planerad ankomst."
3129625,35726905,2015-06-21,18769027,Stacey,"This was our best AirBnb to date!  Jeanette encompasses the word ""host!""  From a wonderful bagel, fruit and coffee breakfast, to providing that forgotten razor and baby shampoo for my kids!  
The above is just icing on the cake for this beautiful cottage!  Lots of indoor seating with windows looking over treetops for miles!  Theres more seating in a stunning outdoor ""garden style"" area and patios! 

The decor of this cottage is well thought out and inviting.  Super clean, cozy, and modern all at the same time! 

We will be back, so will my friends and family!! "
3129625,36332641,2015-06-27,30666325,Dan,"Wonderful place to stay.  Jeanette was great and the house was perfect for our one night stopover in the Austin area.  It quiet and relaxing, excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.  But, it is still close to some great good (e.g., The Salt Lick Bar-B-Que).   If you are looking for a place in the Austin area and don't want to stay in a hotel this is the place!  "
3129625,36392497,2015-06-28,20536326,Randy,"Jeanette was waiting for us when we arrived (we texted about 10 min out) and gave us a tour and showed us where everything was. There were cookies, bottled water, fresh English muffins and fruit waiting for us, along with lots of other food and condiments if we needed them in the well stocked kitchen.

This property is even better than the photos can capture. Very nice, comfortable and full of Hill Country Charm. Expect to see deer, rabbits and other wildlife. This was a short one-night stay for us, but we hope to return sometime for a longer visit!

Highly recommended! 
Jana & Randy"
3129625,37500819,2015-07-07,27835415,Dani,We had a wonderful time during our stay in Jeanette's guest cottage. It was perfect for our Austin vacation with our two daughters. We had breakfast every mornings and dinner a few nights on the serene back porch. Hummingbirds visited the flowers each day!  Jeanette was a very thoughtful and thorough hostess. The kitchen was well stocked!  We couldn't have been happier with our experience with Jeanette!!
3129625,37986217,2015-07-12,21413067,Mike,Our stay exceeded all expectations from the start. Jeanette and Robert were fantastic hosts! We were able to check in early and Jeanette was gracious enough to accommodate to our needs. She gave us the grand tour and even left breakfast foods for us. The property is beautiful and the cottage is as well. Thelma the pup even greeted us to make sure all was well. What a delightful weekend. Definitely recommend!
3129625,38992093,2015-07-20,31045101,M,"We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was secluded, but not far from anything we needed. It was great to see deer every morning when we got up. The cottage itself was very well kept, and we would stay again."
3129625,39720003,2015-07-25,38789936,Bianca,We had the best time staying in Jeanette's guest house. She's such an incredibly thoughtful host. Her home is beautiful and you will feel so lucky to be staying there. We definitely hope to stay there again. We had an amazing time. 
3129625,40715196,2015-08-02,24974994,Peternelle,"This is the second time I've stayed with Jeanette, and I will happily stay again. The cottage is so comfortable. Beautifully furnished, perfectly clean, and the kitchen is well outfitted. It's also so light and airy that even when you're inside you feel that you can enjoy the beautiful surrounding countryside. It's a lovely and truly special place."
3129625,41152410,2015-08-04,34685143,Amanda,"This cottage is gorgeous!  It is nestled in the foothills and surrounded by amazing scenery, yet it is elegantly decorated in modern tones and textures.  Full working kitchen with Keurig coffee maker, stainless steel appliances, and stocked fridge/freezer.  There are two siding glass doors entry ways, and a covered carport.  Jeanette arrived as soon as we called to show us the lay of the land and thought of everything we might want or need.  We can't wait to come back!"
3129625,42912103,2015-08-16,39162811,Brittany,"Jeanette and Robert were great hosts! The cottage is just perfect, the night sky is unbeatable from their property. The views were breathtaking and we were lucky enough to catch a Perseid meteor shower our first night. Thelma and Tigger joined us for morning coffee after their walk and were a delight. I couldn't ask for a more perfect place to be for my 30th birthday. I can't wait to visit again and can't say enough how pleased we are with our stay, our hosts, our views!! I recommend this lovely cottage anyone looking to get away for a day or a week."
3129625,43793008,2015-08-22,38120723,Jennifer,"We got in really, really late and Jeanette was there to greet us with a warm smile. We immediately felt welcome. The cottage was wonderful and so CLEAN! I travel a lot and I am very particular about things like bed linen quality and room cleanliness. This cottage exceeded my expectations in both categories. Jeanette had also put food in the refrigerator for us which made things even easier since we drove such a long way with a 4-year-old. The bed was super comfortable as well - no backaches. I hate to give this place such a rave review though because I want to keep it my secret but I know how hard it is to find a really nice and clean place to stay. We hated to leave. My daughter wanted thought this was going to be our new home! The views were fabulous and it was so quiet. There was lots of wildlife to see as well. Go outside late at night and look up to get a clear view of the Milky Way. Simply gorgeous! I will be going back to stay soon, if I can get a reservation."
3129625,43967955,2015-08-23,5961594,Bailey,"
We loved staying at Jeanette's guest house for our girls trip! The house was beautiful and clean! The location is perfect for river fun (we went tubing) and trips into Austin! Jeanette was so pleasant and helpful! We had a wonderful time!"
3129625,44955197,2015-08-30,32301756,Donna,"What a wonderful experience!  Jeanette is such a thoughtful host, not only coming (with her two sweet dogs) to greet us, but leaving breakfast goodies and lots of helpful tips in the house.

The cottage is very pleasant.  Plenty of places for a couple or two friends to sit and talk, both inside and outside.  It's a convenient location close to Austin, but is quiet and gives you a chance to escape from the city!"
3129625,45722006,2015-09-05,42302334,Lauren,Jean has really thought of it all and works hard to accommodate your requests. The place is beautiful and has everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Our only issue was that the water pressure was a little low but expected considering their water system. I would absolutely recommend this charming location for a small family or a couple.
3129625,45947429,2015-09-07,37171301,Sharmeela,"Simply awesome.  First air bnb experience was a HUGE success.  She was so kind helpful and thoughtful.  Place was stocked with everything from toothbrush to bugspray.  If airbnb good be so incredible like this everywhere I would use it exclusively.  The location was perfect to attend a wedding at Salt Lick Bbq.  The property is beautiful!  I am thankful to have found it.  Jeanette was accomadating and not intrusive.  Stocked the fridge with yogurt and fruits as well as juice and bottled water.  Out in Hill Country they have well water but theres a filter for the kitchen sink smaller faucet.  There's a keurig, flat screen tv and lots of fantastic outdoor seating.  It's also nice to not have tl clean up, truly feels like a Southern oasis!"
3129625,46774706,2015-09-13,29564212,Michael,"Our family had a wedding to attend near the Salt Lick and this location was within a 10 min drive of the wedding.   This cottage is beautiful and feels brand new & very comfortable, but the view of hill country is worth staying on its own.   We left our one night wishing we could stay longer and would definitely return in the future!"
3129625,47699084,2015-09-21,40588615,Jennifer,"Jeanette was super welcoming and the cottage was exactly how it appeared in the photos. There was even food in the pantry and refrigerator and wi-fi. The cottage felt very warm and home-y, and the private Texas hill country views were perfect. I just wish we could have stayed longer."
3129625,49422988,2015-10-04,31934195,Stephanie,"Jeannette greeted us with a brief tour of the place. Beautiful setting and beautiful home. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is stunning, quiet, clean, and cozy. We loved our time there."
3129625,50291269,2015-10-11,41563364,Noah,"Jeanette could not have made a better introduction to the property, she is very kind, informative, and helpful and made us feel very welcome and prepared to be good guests. The Cottage is beautiful, accommodating, and comfortable. We loved our relaxing stay in the Hill Country, South of Austin, and will certainly keep this option in mind going forward. "
3129625,51695599,2015-10-24,25905459,Kimberly,"Amazing place!  More amenities than you could ask for!  Can't wait to come back!  Beautiful views,  comfortable and very clean!  Jeanette truly is a super host! Highly recommend!"
3129625,52670878,2015-11-01,31939303,Molly,"The cottage was so cute and quaint! The attention to detail certainly made us feel at home. Jeanette was a great host and accommodating to the unpredictable Texas weather that visited the day before our stay. This was a great find, and I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends!"
1703893,7895301,2013-10-07,390307,Nate,"Ashley's place was very nice and clean, in a nice neighborhood. My room was super comfortable. She gave me alot of great advice on restaurants, venues, etc. It's also right across the street from one of the best coffee shops in town. I had an easy time getting around town from her place. Highly recommended. "
1703893,9667001,2014-01-04,10935064,Ryan,"Ashley was a great host. Her place is cute - super clean, stylish, uncluttered, and warm.  It's centrally-located in Cherrywood - close to the 35, UT campus, and bus routes/ main thoroughfares downtown and elsewhere.  She's very chill & easy-going, and works a lot, so I basically had the place to myself.  

I enjoyed my stay at her home very much & would definitely recommend it highly to other AirBnb travelers."
1703893,10117534,2014-02-01,10941555,Francesco Tulone,"My staying in the Ashley house was wonderful experience. It was my first airbnb experience. She is a very kind person as well all her friends that I met in Austin. I could not imagine a better place where I could be. The room is very big, wi-fi is perfectly working, the bed surprisingly comfortable and the house is elegant and really clean. Position of her house is magnificent, it is close to University: 25 minutes by a nice walk or 10 minutes by bus that often and punctually passes almost in front of the house. Center of the city is in 15 minutes by bus. There is a 24h big-market close to the house where I could find everything I needed. Moreover I have been sometime evening in a nice coffee bar-restaurant close to the house where there was free wi-fi, nice people and delicious foods. 
I strongly recommend this place for long as well for short period in Austin. "
1703893,10900164,2014-03-12,1501775,Craighton,"I stayed at Ashley's house for 4 nights during SXSW—so I wasn't around a whole bunch, but I definitely recommend her place to others. Her home is decorated with style, it's located conveniently close to the highway, a nice bike ride from downtown (Ashley even connected me to her pal who owns a bike rental shop), and I felt free to come and go without bothering her too much. For SXSW it was nice to be further from downtown for some peace and quiet. Thumbs up overall!"
1703893,10974927,2014-03-16,2170327,Charlotte,"We really enjoy our stay at Ashley's place. The house is lovely and well located, the room is clean and spacious. I truly recommend this place !"
1703893,11123265,2014-03-21,4510470,Sarah,"Ashley went out of her way to help me when I found myself in Austin with a big suitcase, and nowhere to sleep that night. She responded to my request within 30 minutes and in about 1.5 hours I was safe and sound in her home. Her place is lovely and quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. Best experience I've had with AirBnB."
1703893,11275357,2014-03-27,1454625,Michael,"While I never actually saw Ashley, she was very organized and instructions for obtaining house keys, accessing wifi network, etc were clear and simple - her house was clean, nicely decorated, and in a great location - I would recommend to anyone looking for a place in Austin that they consider Ashley's place."
1703893,11294441,2014-03-28,1454625,Michael,I already provided a review - see below - Ashley was perfect host and her place is very nice and in perfect location!  
1703893,11843495,2014-04-16,13796778,Eric,"My girlfriend and I had a great 5 day stay at Ashley's place in Austin. Ashley was a fantastic host.  The neighborhood is nice with a great breakfast/coffee place right across the road, where we ate a few times.This was our first airbnb experience and it was very pleasant and affordable. The house was clean and nicely decorated. Getting the key was easy and wifi worked fine. Would definitely recommend!"
1703893,12259111,2014-04-27,2732015,Liliana,"Was a pleasure stay at Ashley's place....
Beautiful and extremely clean and organized house...
Ashley was always ready to answer questions and help with everything we need 
I def recommend anyone who's coming to Austin to stay at Ashley home."
1703893,12564338,2014-05-05,11347754,Katherine,"Our stay with Ashley was wonderful. The house is clean and beautiful. Parking is easy and it is across the street from a coffee shop with yummy breakfast tacos. The room is big and clean. Ashley provides you with towels and tv access. She and her boyfriend were gracious hosts and completely respected our privacy. She even sent a text beforehand to warn me that they were dog-sitting cute, little Olive. Thank you!!!"
1703893,12835505,2014-05-12,4243806,Mary,"We had a great stay with Ashley. The room and house was very clean and cute when we arrived. It was very easy to retrieve the key and get access to the wifi. It is in a very quiet neighborhood (which I appreciated), and there is a nice coffeehouse across the street that we went to everyday. We also liked that there is a 24 hr market across the street that had travel-sized toiletries. Very close to many bus routes to get you downtown. We really appreciated having the ceiling fan because it was so hot in Austin. We'd recommend staying here!"
1703893,13072779,2014-05-19,1094261,Katie,We enjoyed our stay!

1703893,13995756,2014-06-09,839767,Ann,"Ashley's house was nice and the room was very comfortable.  The neighborhood was nice and I could walk to the university.  Ashley was very accomodating, thx."
1703893,16138886,2014-07-22,16596103,Jeannie,"I recently did a quick weekend trip in ATX and stayed at Ashleys. Great place! Every thing was just as listed. Great area to be in also. Right next to the highway, 10 minutes from downtown, ten minutes to the nearest target/walmart. There is a cute little coffee shop right across the street, called cherrywood, that showcases local musicians, go check that out. Parking on the street was easy. Check in and check out was easy. I only saw Ashley and her bf when we were all home at the same time. Chill peoples. 

Tidbit: The lock box for the key is on the railing. I couldnt find it at first. "
1703893,16598045,2014-07-29,13957157,Anna,"Ashley has been a very accommodating host and gave us a lot of advice's. We enjoyed our stay at her home,which is very clean and comfortable."
1703893,17847657,2014-08-18,17249622,Alexandra,"I stayed for a longer period of time while I moved to start a job at UT, and found this to be an ideal stopping over point while I got settled into to Austin.  Ashley and her boyfriend were wonderful hosts, and were very helpful and friendly in making me feel welcome both in their home and in joining them on outings around town.  While the bathroom is shared, with Ashley's schedule we were never competing for bathroom or kitchen time.  Wifi, laundry, kitchen space, well located, and good company - this is a perfect spot for someone visiting UT for a couple of weeks."
1703893,18763149,2014-08-31,20047679,Thomas,Listing was very accurate and had no trouble finding the place.
1703893,19059162,2014-09-05,14991456,Apostolos,The directions of the host were very accurate and we found our way easily. The room was pretty comfortable even for 2 persons and the hosts very friendly. I'd probably come back.
1703893,19644759,2014-09-15,20909096,Lluís,"The house is wonderful, with a really nice backyard to sit and relax after a long day (every day amazes me having that at the other side of the door), and it is in a quiet place but pretty well connected even if you don't have a car.

Also, Ashley and Philip are wonderful hosts; they gave me lots of tips of places to visit around Austin, took me around for a spin, and even helped me settle when I moved to Austin for a few months.

If I ever come back to Austin, I would definitely visit them again!"
1703893,20828846,2014-10-06,4074628,Erin,"Ashley and her boyfriend were very helpful and hospitable during our stay. The room and home was just as described - extremely clean and adorable! We really enjoyed our stay and never once felt as though we were intruding in Ashley's home. Thank you, Ashley!"
1703893,21377705,2014-10-16,2490947,Daniela Franca,"Ashley and Phil were amazing, and the house is exquisite--so cosy. The Cherrywood area is leafy, charmy and lovely; we did yoga at the café across the road each morning. Plus it's ridiculously easy to get anywhere in the city by bus or bike. The highlight of our stay was Carla Sagan, Ashley and Phil's gorgeous little kitten! I will miss her so much. The room has a fabulous selection of books, which we really enjoyed. Everything in the house and room was comfortable, clean and tasteful--lots of cool art around. We'll be back!  "
1703893,21567629,2014-10-19,22484971,Colin,The room was very clean and nice and the bed was comfy. Ashley and her boyfriend are very nice and laid back.  It's a great house in a great location. I would stay there again for sure if in Austin 
1703893,21967743,2014-10-27,21929516,Rianne,"Ashley and her boyfriend are very flexible with time. We didn't get to the house until late at night and was initially planning to leave in the afternoon on the last day, and they are okay with that. The house is homey and the room is comfy. They also provide a list of things to do and places to go to (restaurants, pubs etc) which is really nice. This is like a hotel but better. It has a personal touch (and community feel) to it. This is actually my first time using airbnb and I will definitely use it again in the future.  "
1703893,22197988,2014-11-01,12410420,Jeremy,"Ashley and Phil were both great hosts and very laid back. I wasn't there very long so I didn't spend all that much time with them, but they were happy to answer any questions about the area and were very welcoming. I was actually supposed to check out early Saturday morning but I slept through my alarm and had to rush to a meeting before I could get all my stuff together, so I left it there without realizing that they had another guest checking in while I was out. Ashley texted me and politely offered to gather my stuff and leave it in the living room, just so I wouldn't have to leave my meeting. I definitely gave her a legit reason to be annoyed with me but she was totally cool about it.  

They also live in a nice area right by a coffeehouse, which also serves great food and beer and has live music. They also have adorable pets. Overall, I definitely recommend staying with these two. "
1703893,22235090,2014-11-02,20912775,Justin,"The house is easy to get to, super clean, and a really cool place to stay.  The room is large, and the bathroom was conveniently located."
1703893,22616019,2014-11-10,23038725,Hannah,"This is an absolutely great place to stay. The host was altogether extremely friendly and kind. The room is gorgeous and the whole home and neighborhood have a kitschy feel that really made my trip unique. Definitely try the coffee shop across the street for breakfast, and explore downtown when you stay! It's close enough to bike. Thanks again for a great stay!"
1703893,22833746,2014-11-16,17680803,Regina,"Ashley and Phil were great hosts! I had made an error in the booking date and yet they were able to accommodate us. We were so grateful. It was a comfortable, easy in-and-out, close to downtown Austin. PERFECT!"
1703893,25432657,2015-01-16,22486482,Fabio,"A casa é bem localizada, distante do centro, mas é fácil o acesso via ônibus, mais fácil ainda é o acesso para a Universidade! A Ashley deixa o hóspede completamente a vontade! Livre acesso! Além disso, ela foi muito prestativa, ajudando em minha mudança!"
1703893,26348145,2015-02-09,14944950,Steve,"Ashley's home was nicely decorated, clean and organized. I love the details in her historical home and Art displayed. I hardly got a chance to socialize with Ashley and her boyfriend but for sure they made my stay pleasurable and would stay here again when in Austin. "
1703893,26415184,2015-02-12,24237705,Fê,"A casa tem decoração inspiradora, é confortável, limpa e organizada. Fica numa região sossegada. Tinha tudo o que eu precisava para me acomodar bem! Pude manter minha rotina.
A cachorrinha e a gatinha são adoráveis! Mantive elas sempre perto!
Não calculei a duração do vôo e a Ashley permitiu remanejar os dias. Só pediu para eu me atentar ao horário, pois teria outro visitante chegando. 
Meu namorado mora na cidade e ela também permitiu que ele ficasse comigo durante os dias que me hospedei.
Como tínhamos nossa rotina, acabei nem encontrando eles durante esses dias! E mesmo assim não me faltou nada e nem me incomodei com nada. Assim mantive o mesmo respeito à rotina deles.
Por perto tem mercado e alguns restaurantes e cafeteria. E tive facilidade para me locomover para lugares mais longes também."
1703893,26559074,2015-02-15,337779,Nicole,"Ashley and her significant other were very nice - I had everything I needed upon arrival, came and went as I pleased, and felt comfortable doing my thing while I was in town.   The room was great - comfy bed, large desk, cable TV, and an wall-covering bookshelf.  (I definitely read some of the articles in one of the Austin travel guides.)  The entire house was clean, well decorated and organized.  Their dog was really excited about life, and their cat was chill.  

Also, I enjoyed the vibe of the neighborhood.  There is a great restaurant/cafe practically across the street - great for studying, working, catching up with friends, sitting outside, and/or listening to music.  I went twice.

Thanks again!"
1703893,27291576,2015-03-01,27951441,Nick,"Ashley is a great host! Her and Phillip are friendly and easy going. The house is clean and organized, and the room has a large desk and tv. The neighborhood is centrally located with plenty of things to do close by, and parking is readily available. I will definitely consider staying here again the next time I'm in Austin."
1703893,28067078,2015-03-17,22538508,Jesus,"Great experience!! Ashley and Phillip are great and warm people, even though we hadn't the oppotunity to talk too much (i was the whole day out). The house is súper clean and the room is big with a really comfortable bed. Their pets are lovely too, i was in love with their cat.  I truly recommended to stay with them."
1703893,28380379,2015-03-23,15825845,Cheyanne,"Such amazing hosts, went out of their way to make us feel welcome.  Very friendly and accommodating - definitely recommed staying there to anyone in Austin!"
1703893,29046230,2015-04-03,10512396,Burch,"Ashley was great throughout the process and very accommodating and helpful. The room is spacious and the neighborhood great for access to restaurants and UT. Had a great stay and Ashley and the gang are all awesome, especially the furry friends. Definitely recommend!"
1703893,29448190,2015-04-07,22549639,Anna,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Our room was clean and had lots of light, the neighborhood has a wonderful cafe across the street and was a short drive to downtown. They have two adorable pets (a cat and a dog) and everyone was friendly and welcoming. Thanks for the great stay, y'all!"
1703893,29945078,2015-04-14,28770299,Marc,I was a terrible guest but they are great hosts. Highly recommended. 
1703893,30320150,2015-04-20,711053,Velda,"Ashley was an amazing host, the room was homey and we immediately felt comfortable in her house. Great place by the side of the road and just a bus ride into the UT campus. We had all we needed at our disposal, and it was a great place to come back and relax after long conference days. Cherrywood Coffeehouse was one of the best places I've been in a long time! Would love to go to Austin just to hang out there more often. All in all, a great visit to Austin, and I would gladly come back!"
1703893,33920217,2015-06-02,15470062,Erika,"Staying with Ashley and Phil was great. They were very welcoming and even included me in a fun dinner with their friends. The house is conveniently located, only a short bus ride away from UT and there is a great coffee shop across the street for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The house is beautifully decorated and the pets are adorable. All around a great place to stay in Austin. "
1703893,36376870,2015-06-28,30301942,Ben,"Ashley's house was just as we expected it to be, very clean, homey and well decorated.  We didn't spend much time at the house and so did not have many opportunities to speak with Ashley and Phil but they seemed like very nice people when we did see them.  The room had everything you might need during your stay including towels, travel sized toiletries, a TV channel guide, a notebook with recommendations for restaurants, and tons of books to peruse.  The house lends itself well to privacy so if that's what you're looking for this is a great place to stay.    "
1703893,37254018,2015-07-05,37096693,Rachel,"Ashley and Phil were great hosts! We were away from the house most the weekend, but the whole process was seamless and their place is charming. Also, their pets are the sweetest! Would definitely stay here again."
1703893,41642009,2015-08-08,37944850,Eric,House was clean and Ashley was a great host.  Convenient location for getting around town and Shula is a fun pup.  Definitely recommend 
1703893,41912730,2015-08-09,33402145,Clao,"Cozy house, the room and bathroom were in perfect condition, all clean and organized. Amenities included tooth brush, shampoo, sun lotion , q-tips..  the place is 10 minutes away from downtown. The pets are adorable. We didnt get to spend much time with Ashley but she and her boyfriend were kind."
1703893,42892754,2015-08-16,1374832,Greg,"I had a great experience staying with Ashley and Phil.  They have a lovely house located in a very pleasant neighborhood.  Both were extremely friendly and made sure that I had a pleasant stay.  The room is very clean with a comfortable bed and a terrific little library stocked with good books.   Likewise, the location is very good with easy access to both the area around UT and downtown.  Their pets are extremely friendly and made the stay extra fun.   I'd highly recommend staying here if you are ever in Austin."
1703893,45159650,2015-08-31,40507799,Gwen,"The listing is very accurate: great location (I walked to UT everyday), clean house, spacious private room, tons of tv channels, and fast internet. It is on a very busy street, which would have been annoying at night, but Ashley helpfully provided earplugs (as well as high spf sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a razor). Being able to check in and out anytime during the day was convenient and simple. The pets are super friendly and cute. Ashley and her boyfriend were friendly and suggested events and restaurants, though the room was so nice I ended up spending a LOT of time there. Very good experience! "
1703893,50120765,2015-10-09,5569742,Nova,This was a great place to stay on our visit to Austin. Clean and stylish home and courteous hosts. And a comfy bed! 
1703893,50430726,2015-10-12,16728929,Sarah,"This home is such a lovely, peaceful, comfortable space. I slept so well every night! It is very close to the UT campus but a little far from downtown Austin if you are taking the bus. "
1703893,51315605,2015-10-19,44192534,Raul,"Stayed at Ashley's place for a weekend in Austin. Everything was great and as described. We didn't see much of Ashley when we were here, but she was nice and helpful whenever we did catch her. She provided some extra items (beach towels and tube) that came in very handy for our planned swim.
The neighborhood was nice. It was very easy to get onto the highway or catch a bus. The bedroom got some noise from the busy main street, but it was a non-issue for us and Ashley provides earplugs in case it is. Overall, great experience."
1703893,51745589,2015-10-24,9690083,Lucy,"Ashley has a beautiful home and made everything super easy, she was vey communicative, had good Austin recommendations, and we hugely enjoyed staying there."
1703893,51749465,2015-10-24,4964088,Thomas,"Ashley was very active in communicating details to us before our stay. She provided helpful information for planning our stay and getting settled easy. The room was comfortable, the pets were friendly and the entire house was incredibly clean. I would not hesitate to stay here again if I find myself in the Austin area. "
333857,1017321,2012-03-19,1662804,Kathrine,"Larry and Joanna were beyond gracious! We felt very welcome the entire stay and loved getting to know them a little bit. The location is great as well, and we walked downtown everyday for SXSW. "
333857,2737563,2012-10-28,3156312,高之,"It was a comfortable time.Room was clean and has enough space.
Joanna and Larry are very kind and friendly people. They often take care of me.They lent me a bicycle and offen picked me up by car. I had a great exprience. I really appreciated their (website hidden) addition, cats are very cute."
333857,3743255,2013-03-11,4018913,Ned,"These two are the kindest, most considerate hosts we could possibly ask for. We came in a day late with no luggage due to airline incompetence. We were exhausted and disorganized, and our schedule was entirely messed up. Not only were our hosts understanding of our changing schedules, they went above and beyond to help us through the ordeal - cooking for us, driving us downtown, and making us feel entirely welcome in their home. If you want a wonderful travel experience, and also to renew your faith in humanity, do yourself a favor a stay with Joanna and Larry."
333857,3812842,2013-03-18,552755,Jude,Larry and Joanna were amazing hosts. They were very friendly and approachable and made us feel really at home. Their place is lovely and very comfortable. It is in a convenient location and only a 20 minute walk or short bike ride to downtown. It was the perfect base for us during SXSW! 
333857,8806812,2013-11-18,6165441,Rebecca,"Larry and Joanna are very gracious and friendly hosts. Their house is charming and clean, and you feel right at home when you get there. They also provide you a full bed and breakfast service! We had pancakes and eggs. Yum. 

The location is perfect for walking to all downtown and east side spots in Austin. I couldn't have asked for a better stay! "
333857,9879372,2014-01-16,10847977,Daniel,"Larry and Joanna are wonderful, accommodating, and very caring hosts. Their cats are friendly and awesome. The location is hard to beat. They made my stay in Austin more enjoyable. I would definitely stay with them again and would highly recommend anyone to stay with them. "
333857,9931564,2014-01-20,3937077,Samantha,"Larry was a very warm and welcoming host.  (Joanna was visiting grandchildren at the time of my stay, so I never met her, but I am sure she is wonderful too.)  I did not meet him until my last evening in Austin because we were on different schedules, but we had a nice chat and he even serenaded me with his guitar.  Larry (and Joanna) want their guests to feel like their house is their guests' home while in Austin, even offering to let me drive their extra car if I needed.  The house was very quiet, the room was just as advertised.  The house is about a mile and a half walk from the UT campus.  I had a pleasant stay and would recommend this room to others."
333857,10619369,2014-02-28,5921993,Roisin,"I stayed with Larry and Joanna for just over three weeks in their lovely home in Austin. They were fantastic hosts - so attentive and interested but also happy to keep their distance when I was busy. Joanna asked me before I arrived what I would like to eat for breakfast and restocked the kitchen. Since she was up before me she had a pot of coffee ready to go with breakfast - it was wonderful! Like being at home. On a few occasions they invited me out for dinner or to an event - I'm only sorry I wasn't able to take them up on their generous offer.

The room was warm and the bed was comfortable. I haven't slept so well in a while! Their cat Butch and unofficial cat Big Mama were really sweet, although not around all that much - if you aren't a cat person they really won't bother you. The hammock in the garden is a fantastic place to chill out and the washing machine and dryer were great. 

Located in East Austin, their home is in a good location - close to lots of interesting restaurants and in a fantastic neighborhood that's quickly becoming the most popular in Austin. They loaned me their bike so I could cycle to work and around town on the weekends - it's only 10 minutes to downtown. They also left me a booklet they had made of nearby restaurants which was handy on evenings when I didn't have much time for dinner.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Larry and Joanna as hosts and am very much looking forward to staying with them on my next visit to Austin."
333857,10732496,2014-03-04,12551981,Colin,"Comfortable, private room.  Cute cats.  The hosts were very accommodating with my shifting schedule and making sure I could ""check in"" any time during the day.  Great stay!"
333857,10997328,2014-03-17,1527673,Nico,"Larry and Joanna are some of the greatest hosts I have stayed with. 

They had a great cosy home, with cool decorations and lots of art.

The neighbourhood is on a bit of a hill, but it's a small hill and feels very safe.

I would highly recommend staying with them to any friends."
333857,11148995,2014-03-23,11710798,Yeo,"It was a great experience staying with Joanna and Larry for the 4 days I was in Austin. The house and the room were very cosy and of note, both of them were such great hosts. I'm very appreciative and grateful that Joanna went the extra miles to provide me different remedies for my cough and flu that eventually got better. Further, Joanna's invitation for me to go along with her for her art lessons with the kids was an experience that made this trip even more distinguished from the usual travel experiences I have had. Both Joanna and Larry are certainly more than hosts to me, they are new found friends that I would very much like to keep in touch and visit them if I'm in Austin again. Thank you for everything - the wonderful dinner before my departure, all the conversations and sharing, certainly the friendship forged over the 4 days. Joanna is such a wonderful woman and Larry such a humorous host that I'll always remember this Airbandb experience! "
333857,11437499,2014-04-02,13143524,Marissa,"Larry and Joanna were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Friendly when I wanted to interact, but gave me my space as needed. The room was beautiful, and their house is a treasure trove of eclectic charm. I would definitely stay there again."
333857,11765747,2014-04-14,13648062,Jolean,"Hello!  I enjoyed my stay with Larry & Joanna.  They are very friendly and accommodating.  Joanna even bought my favorite breakfast.  The bed was super soft and the room was just a short walk to the bathroom.  Larry recommended a lovely 'park' (aka cemetery) just a block away for my morning run, which was fascinating.  They are really nice people and the location, location, location is ideal."
333857,12978364,2014-05-16,14189649,Meghan,I loved staying with here! A great experience!  A great start to my stay in Austin!
333857,13392903,2014-05-26,934921,Nancy,Larry let us use the bikes to explore the city.  We enjoyed the stay.
333857,13462423,2014-05-27,10189274,Sarah,I had a lovely one night stay with Larry as Joanna was away visiting her grandchildren. The room was clean and as described and very comfortable and airy. I was given a map of the city and offered free use of the bike which was very handy as I got to do a lot of exploring. The house is in a lovely quiet neighbourhood not far from downtown. Larry was very friendly and we had a good chat over breakfast the following day. I would recommend this place. 
333857,13917626,2014-06-08,14720746,Peter,"A nice house in a quiet, residential neighborhood that is convenient to everything. Larry and Joanna are fun people to hang out with in the kitchen chatting about whatever. I was a little too busy to take full advantage of the experience, but definitely the place to be if you want welcoming and cozy."
333857,17823261,2014-08-18,15327124,Nicky,"My mother and I spent a nice time here. They provided two beds for us which is a plus and the house has a long history, if you like such houses you will enjoy the stay. Joanna is so warm-hearted that she often offers me the delicious food she makes, and she even knows how to cook Chinese and Japanese style food.
I really appreciated that I can talk with them everyday to communicate with the local people here in Austin and get answers to my tons of questions, this was exactly what I want to get for a stay in Airbnb house."
333857,18446405,2014-08-26,15327124,Nicky,"Larry and Joanna are really nice, cross-cultural, smart and interesting hosts. Since it was my first time here in the U.S. and Austin, they introduced and actually took me to a lot of local events here, I really appreciated that. I enjoyed talking with both of them and their knowledge on different cultures is impressive. They love music and it was a nice experience to sing along with them while they play instruments. And their cats are lovely. 
I live there because I can't move into my apartment at the time and the house is on the eastern side of the I35 which is 10 min drive to UT. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. There are several nice food trucks and restaurants rated highly on the Yelp on the 11th st and 12th st which are not far from the house. I definately will return to the house if I have the chance."
333857,18778336,2014-08-31,20273518,Kathleen,"We had a great stay with Joanna and Larry. We needed a place last minute, and they were very accommodating. They to us to help ourselves to anything in the fridge. We went out with friends on 6th street, which was a long walk home, but would've been a very short cab ride. The bed was comfy. The only problems were that there was only one bathroom in the house, and that our room shared a thin wall with Larry and Joanna's room so not the most privacy, and we felt bad coming in late, even though they said not to worry! Overall their place was great for a place to crash. "
333857,20297094,2014-09-27,9929283,Hitesh,"Larry and Joanna were wonderful hosts who looked after me extremely well for the two nights I was there. Their hospitality and generosity were second to none, and Joanna was super kind to drop me off at my next destination. The room was cosy and I slept very well. Would highly recommend staying here ! "
333857,20461892,2014-09-29,21463290,Janet,"Larry and Joanna were both very welcoming. They were both very pleasant and let me know their home was open for me to use as needed...so cozy! The description listed is spot on.  It was a short trip, strictly business, maybe next time I can spend more time over. Thank you so much for letting me stay with you guys!"
333857,20636621,2014-10-02,18821478,Ryan,"Pleasant stay with nice, pleasant people. Everything is as described. Very happy with my experience. "
333857,20965644,2014-10-08,4949,Munjal,"Our hosts were extremely warm and welcoming, and instantly made sure to make us feel right at home, even if it was only for a few days. Amenities were fine, and the location was just totally perfect for exploring Austin! Larry and Joanna's kind generosity in lending us two bikes make the trip truly perfect, as it is literally a 5 minute, EASY bike right to downtown Austin, and 20 minutes literally to almost all of downtown Austin, the restaurants, concert venues, and in our case Zilker Park for ACL Fest. We had a blast, and the included breakfast everything was delicious and topped it off! 

Again, love the location, neighborhood, and our great hosts! "
333857,21716904,2014-10-22,19447771,Yiyan,"We stayed in Larry and Joanna's house for four days, it was really pleasant and cozy. There were all sort of breakfast choice like bread and yoghurt. The decoration of the house made us feel like home. They are both really nice people, and the cats are just so lovely. We will stay in their house again if there's a chance."
333857,22102430,2014-10-30,16691128,Sean,"Southern Hospitality is how I would describe my Airbnb experience with Larry and Joanna. They've kept communication open since the first booking. On arrival, there was a folder with maps and all. They've offered to cook breakfast for me (and another guest) in the morning. The place was very neat with a homely feeling. I've spent the last day practically chilling in their house (it made the travel experience really unique). The neighbourhood was very nice as well. The cats were very friendly"
333857,22239739,2014-11-02,15859806,Emily,"Larry and Joanna were super friendly and welcoming.  They provided a binder full of resources about Austin and gave us great tips about where to eat, what to see etc.  The room is exactly as pictured and the neighborhood is very residential.  If you are interested in going to 6th St, it's only a 20-30 minute walk though it's a bit hilly.  I would definitely stay with Larry and Joanna again the next time I visit Austin!"
333857,22362178,2014-11-04,5813626,Tingting,"Great room exactly as described. Joanna was very helpful and she even picked me up when I kinda got lost in Austin. The house is at a safe and quiet neighborhood, and is indeed within walking distance to downtown Austin. Would recommend Joanna and Larry's place to any future guests."
333857,22693825,2014-11-12,20517211,Mirvari,Host was very nice and bed comfy. Not far from Downtown walking distance. 
333857,24262645,2014-12-24,8223739,Lily,"Larry and Joanna were awesome hosts. I stayed with them for almost a month and have no complaints. The pink room was comfortable and cosy, and the house is walking distance from UT and downtown (although the buses are close by too!). Larry and Joanna went out of their way to make me feel at home and are very knowledgeable about Austin. Definitely recommended."
333857,24999408,2015-01-04,8379522,Cassie And Alex,"We came in very late overnight to catch a bus in the morning. We were greeted by Larry and if felt like we were staying at an old friend's house for the night. Despite the fact it was almost midnight, he had no problem serving us delicious sweet potato pie and making us right at home. Wonderful stay "
333857,25465675,2015-01-17,24042067,Ming,"I want to give a big big thanks to Larry and Joanna for making my first airbnb trip wonderful. Not only because of the room and the location, just as described, but more importantly what they did: preparing breakfast, giving me medicine when I got cold, giving me a ride when the temperature dropped, so many caring that feels like at home. I definitely want to come again in the next visit to Austin."
333857,25703339,2015-01-23,9687261,Andrew,Wonderful stay!
333857,25756820,2015-01-25,21679453,Kylah,My husband and I stayed in the pink room at Larry and Joanne's place. The pre arrival instructions were fantastic we had no trouble finding it (we walked from the mega bus stop). The room was comfortable and walking distance to down town. Although Joanne was away during our stay Larry was very welcoming! 
333857,27547506,2015-03-07,27705940,Mary Ann,"Larry and Joanna were excellent hosts. Even before I chose to stay there, they offered to pick me up from the conference I was attending so I wouldn't have to walk home alone at night. They made sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed during my stay, including breakfast! Their house is in a quiet part of town, but close to pretty much everything you'd want to see - it's only a 25 minute walk to the main 6th Street drag downtown. And their cats are cute and friendly!"
333857,28459817,2015-03-24,15533053,Sarah,"The location was extremely convenient for SXSW. Joanna & Larry's helpful notes meant I could orient myself and find everything I needed. The room was cosy, came with a desk, extra plug sockets and bike which all proved invaluable during the conference. Fresh fruit juice was a bonus too!"
333857,29521931,2015-04-08,43111,Rasika,"Larry and Joanna are very gracious hosts with a travelling guests' needs in mind. Because I told them I just wanted a quiet room to relax and rehearse for my show, they had very little going on in the week and I felt as though I had the whole house to myself! There were sweet cats to cuddle up with in the sunny backyard and in the tiny amount of time my schedule allowed me to see them, Joanna offered to make me an egg breakfast! I loved the DIY-ness of the shower in the bathroom, which boasts having every product a girl could need, but with an apothecary's touch. I especially loved having a cozy bathrobe and a very comfortable bed. They are kitty corner from a small park, another great place to chill under the shady trees. Walking to UT IS actually possible from here, and I did on my last day. You will be on the Trinity and 15th side near Brackenridge Hospital. I would love to stay here again and have more time to explore this treasure of a house and to get to know my wonderful hosts!"
333857,29763193,2015-04-12,29578600,Hannah,"I had a great stay in the pink room at Larry & Joanna's house. Joanna was super welcoming and recommended places for me to check out & gave me some fresh, homemade juice. Comfortable bed, quiet house, lots of products in the bathroom in case you forget anything, lots of hangers and storage in the bedroom - I would definitely stay here again if I return to Austin!"
333857,29984859,2015-04-15,6950939,Jessica,Adorable house and charming hosts. They provided an array of breakfast options for us each day and gave us helpful insights of the city. 
333857,30051037,2015-04-16,30887803,Mohammed,I had an amazing stay with Larry and Joanna. They were very welcoming and the pink room was just wonderful (as depicted). Definitely recommended to anyone looking for a listing near UT.
333857,30547546,2015-04-24,2496906,Eugene,Had a great stay in the Pink Room. Their house was clean and made me feel welcomed. Really close to Franklin's BBQ
333857,30781665,2015-04-27,29242782,Star,"Although I never got to meet Larry and Joanna due to my hectic schedule, they were wonderful hosts. I felt very comfortable in their home, which was as described - clean, cozy, and eclectic. They kept me informed through email and even invited me to enjoy Austin events with them.  I fell in love with the neighborhood, it's a great mix of homes and walking distance from downtown. I especially loved this because walking a city really allows you to get to know it and connect with it. After this trip, I love Austin even more. "
333857,31050707,2015-05-01,29675807,Sheila,"Larry and Joanna are the greatest hosts I've ever met.  They are very responsive and helpful giving detailed answers to every question I had before and after I booked their place.  When I arrived at their home, their hospitality warmed my heart.  They gave me lots of freedom to use their facility and provided good snack and food for me and my friend.  I got some chances to chat with them.  From their friendly conversation, I got to know more about their hobby--music and their lifestyle.  Wonderful culture exchange experience while I stayed there.   They were not only my hosts but also my friends.  I treasured their friendship a lot.  I highly recommend Larry and Joanna's home to those who look for a place to stay in downtown Austin.  Their home is definitely a convenient, economic and friendly place to stay!   "
333857,31459362,2015-05-05,30674538,Kelly,"Very friendly, welcoming people. Comfy bed. The house is close to downtown (walkable, or you can get an Uber for less than $5)."
333857,31755874,2015-05-09,11978115,Kerri,"Larry and Joanna were fantastic hosts! Their house is very cozy, clean, and welcoming. I only stayed for one night but saw our hosts go above and beyond more than once, giving me a tarp for my weekend camping and another guest Emergen-C for a cold. They seemed to want to not just provide a place to stay but really take care of their guests. Highly recommended! Thanks Larry and Joanna!"
333857,31897243,2015-05-11,3046385,Roberto,"The sweetest people in Austin. Larry and Joanna made us feel very welcome and comfortable in their cozy East Austin place. Loved the room, the breakfast, and the conversations. Will definitely stay there again when I return to Austin. "
333857,32339154,2015-05-17,27514364,Kimberley,"My boyfriend and I had a great time in Austin. The house spoke 1,000 words. You really get a good grasp of what Larry and Joanna are all about, starting from even before you enter the front door. I would highly recommend anyone who wants to visit Austin to stay at Larry and Joanna's home. The bed was comfortable, the house is a short walk from 6th street. There is a great cafe down the road called Hillside Farmacy. "
333857,32563325,2015-05-19,31306850,Mallory,Joanna was very welcoming and accommodating.  The bed was amazingly comfortable and the room was homey. Plus sides were the cats being friendly and the walking distance to downtown. I would definitely stay here again.
333857,32802205,2015-05-21,24403321,Florian,"The hosts were very welcoming but this place was not what my girlfriend and I were expecting. Indeed, the house was pretty old and did not look very clean. The worst part of it was the bathroom as it had plastic Curtin all around the bathtub and I felt uncomfortable as it made me claustrophobic. There was no mount for the shower head so you have to hold it as you wash.
There were also large cockroach-like bugs and was pretty frightening.
I trusted the reviews but none mentioned this so now you are aware"
333857,34034383,2015-06-03,23507610,Christa,From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at home in Larry and Joanna's eclectic cottage. We found the location 3 minutes drive from downtown extremely convenient. They accepted our late booking which was much appreciated and went out of their way to make sure our stay in Austin was easy and enjoyable. 
333857,34229362,2015-06-06,31016206,Jeroen,"Great place, definately in walking distance of down. Soco is a little further away, few car minutes. We had a warm welcome & nice bed."
333857,34488768,2015-06-08,19867391,Tiffany,"Larry and Joanna are extremely welcoming hosts and I felt instantly at ease and comfortable in their home. Communication with the hosts went smoothly and booking and check-in was very easy. Larry and Joanna's home is very charming, but it is an old house. This coupled with the hot Texas summer weather resulted in more big bug sightings in and around the house that I would have liked. However, the room is very comfortable and the bathroom was clean. "
333857,35806301,2015-06-22,12791756,Angharad,"Larry and Joanna are wonderful hosts - I felt very much at home from the start, and they were kind enough to lend me an umbrella for the whole of my stay as we were having some pretty bad weather and I'd forgotten to bring mine. They were always concerned to make sure I had everything I needed. Everything was exactly as described, though I didn't see much of the cats at all. The room was comfortable and pleasant to work in (I was visiting UT Austin for research), the air-conditioning was a godsend, and I could come and go as I pleased. The house and the neighbourhood are old and have great character - I really enjoyed exploring East Austin, which was much safer-feeling and friendlier than I'd expected. The house is also walking distance from UT Austin, the Capitol area, downtown and 6th Street. Overall, highly recommended as a reasonably-priced and very welcoming place to stay in Austin."
333857,36782773,2015-07-01,17336547,River,"Perfect place, perfect location, perfect hosts.  Loved it and highly recommend this airbnb!"
333857,44051623,2015-08-23,14104630,Mary,Larry was such a sweet host! He offered us breakfast and coffee which was nice. Our room was very comfortable and clean. It's very close to downtown but not quite a walk if you're planning to go out at night. 
333857,44209381,2015-08-24,40210175,Mollie,"Wonderful, low key, and cozy"
333857,45220404,2015-08-31,19319790,Charlotte,"I had the most lovely stay at Joanna and Larry's home and I felt welcome immediately. 
The house is in a quiet and safe street just few minutes walk from downtown. Thank you again ! "
333857,45955229,2015-09-07,31502858,Stephan,Joana and Larry were very considerate throughout my stay. They made me feel comfortable and did everything in order to make me feel at home.
333857,49223755,2015-10-02,41127116,Sibylle,"I visited Austin for work leaving in the morning and returning in the evening. Larry and Joanna made me feel at home, it was always a pleasure to come back in the evening. 
The house is situated in a calm neighbourhood with birds and squirrels. In the meantime, Downtown and the University of Texas are within walking distance. "
333857,49597743,2015-10-05,15006352,Patsorn,This was a great first experience with air bnb! Larry was great (Joanna was out of town) and very welcoming. The room was very cute and their home was filled with art and stories. A very enjoyable experience! 
333857,50613824,2015-10-13,32689240,Joe,"The Vaughn's home was stunning. I'd call it a true representation of Austin. It was a very welcoming environment and Joanna was absolutely pleasant. She made me feel very at home. I didn't get a chance to meet Larry because I spent most of the time out at ACL Weekend 2, but I'm 110% sure he would have been just as great as Joanna was. The room was spacious and very delightful. The neighboorhood was quiet and still a close distance to downtown. I definitely will come back."
333857,51219578,2015-10-18,15177213,Asante,"Larry and Joanna were fantastic hosts. Kind, hospitable, and laid back. The rooms and house are clean, and they provide almost any amenities you would need for a short stay, including snacks, toiletries, robes/ bath towels, a binder full of information about Austin, and ingredients for breakfast and the means to cook it yourself. The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood that is quite literally a 5 minute walk from downtown, and maybe 15 from Red River/ 6th street. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin, and wouldn't hesitate to book this place again if I come back."
333857,51397062,2015-10-19,17277671,Ani,"Larry was an extraordinarily gracious host. He accommodated our late arrival, fixed us with bikes, left plenty of food and drink in the fridge, gave us medicines when we were sick, and let us store our luggage after checking out. He's a warm and fantastic individual and I'd strongly recommend him as an Airbnb host if you are visiting Austin. "
333857,52839800,2015-11-02,27189396,Amalia,"I stayed with Larry and Joanna while attending a three-day conference at UT. Their home is fairly convenient to downtown, the university, and public transit. The room was somewhat cluttered but still pleasant (bed was outstanding, towels and bathrobe also very nice). Larry and Joanna made me feel very welcome, gave me directions, and provided delicious fresh fruit, coffee, and other fixings for breakfast. My only criticism is that the showerhead in the bathroom clearly needed to be fixed or replaced."
6621745,36702371,2015-06-30,5215665,Elizabeth,"I am very glad to have found Kirsten's listing. My friend has been telling me to try Airbnb for awhile now, and I feel like I lucked out when I found this cute little bungalow. The area is TERRIFIC, and Kirsten and her husband, John, are super responsive, accommodating, and friendly. It has exceeded my expectations. It was just perfect for what I needed and when I needed it."
7245795,46195700,2015-09-08,5740317,David,Great home near Lake Travis.  Close to boat ramps and lake access.  We had great weekend and loved home.  Pictures accurate.  Nice porch and living area.  Beautiful master bedroom with smaller guest bedroom at back of home.  We would stay here again.
1206474,6523756,2013-08-15,1155306,Reese,"The location was fantastic with easy access to downtown and some great local finds nearby! Susan and Robert made our stay incredibly easy and were so welcoming. Their recommendations made for a great night out at a unique restaurant and then some of the much celebrated Austin music scene. 
The accommodations themselves were very comfortable. A spacious room, beautiful with modern decor and your own large bathroom. A nice touch to have our own fridge and microwave, but we appreciated even more the coffee maker so that we could get up and enjoy some coffee on the patio in the back. The greenery including palm trees makes you feel like you're not in the middle of the city. 
I hope I make it to Austin again, and if I do I will definitely stay with Susan again. "
1206474,8399048,2013-10-28,9585035,Justin,My girlfriend and I stayed with Susan and Rodger Halloween weekend and it was probably the best decision we made. They were extremely responsive in getting back to us since our last host had cancelled on us. Susan is such a sweetheart and made us THE BEST jalapeño margaritas. Susan also made us cookies too! Our room was better than a hotel room. The bedroom was HUGE and we had great closet space. The bathroom has a microwave; fridge and they provided a Keurig for coffee in the morning. Flat screen in the bedroom as well. They have 2 cats but we barely saw them.  They are such a fun couple and the only disappointment is that we didn't get to hang out with them more! We will definitely be reaching out to them the next time we are in ATX! 3 miles from downtown and it's a great and SAFE location!
1206474,8650082,2013-11-10,9511057,Ogo,"It was such a pleasure staying here! Thanks so much Susan, you guys made me feel at home. Coming in to fresh baked cookies was awesome! The place looked exactly like the picture, no sugar coating here. Susan provided everything you can imagine you'll need. I definitely recommend staying here, as I will next time I'm in Austin. Thanks again Susan! "
1206474,8677656,2013-11-11,6900117,Jessica,"Susan and Robert were so great! My boyfriend and I stayed with them for 1 night for a birthday weekend in Austin. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed with a tour of the lovely home and even some delicious margaritas that Susan whipped up! They went above and beyond with a birthday card and cupcakes waiting for me... I don't think any hotel would have done that!! 

The room itself is awesome- comfortable and modern with all the necessities. The best part was the super new and clean bathroom that had a microwave and minifridge.. so convenient. A keurig coffee machine was set up in the bathroom with coffee and all of the amenities (I personally loved this since I'm a big coffee drinker). 

They have a keyless entry system which was great to have. The location was good--we had a car and could get anywhere in an easy 10 minutes. 

Overall we had a restful night, a fantastic experience, and would not hesitate to return again. Susan and Robert were just so kind and such welcoming hosts. Thank you!"
1206474,8879077,2013-11-23,7387623,Terri,Wonderful experience!  I appreciated Susan's and Robert's hospitality.  The location was very convenient to UT.  The room was great and everything you could possibly need was included in the bathroom.   Hope to have the opportunity to stay with them again. 
1206474,8921087,2013-11-25,10134536,Nicolas,"Perfect stay in Austin!
Susan and Robert's house is perfectly located (only 5 min driving from 6th street) in a very quiet neighborhood. The room is spacious, very clean. The Bathroom is very clean too.
Next time we go to Austin, we will definitely stay at Susan and Robert's again!
Mariana and Nicolas"
1206474,9042693,2013-12-02,1320860,Luke,"Location, location, location! Great location, easy access to UT campus, East Austin, and Downtown; in the Cherrywood neighborhood, it's a short walk to the coffee shop/cafe and the grocery store. Really a great location whether it's your first trip to Austin or even if you are a frequent visitor.
Accommodations are just as pictured: large, comfortable room in a recently (and beautifully) renovated home. Large bathroom, refrigerator, coffee-maker... additionally, Susan and Robert (our hosts) graciously and generously welcomed us into the rest of their home during our stay.  
Susan and Robert offered the best of Texas hospitality! They were warm, welcoming, and generous in a genuine way; they went out of their way to be available and helpful, whether it was monitoring our progress on our long drive to Texas, mapping directions in Austin, or discussing local music venues. They went so far as to make a big Saturday omelet breakfast, and even invited our two young adult sons over for the occasion.
My wife and I felt that we had been extremely lucky in our Airbnb choice and we wouldn't hesitate to go back. Also, I sincerely believe that it was a choice that would be warm and comfortable for many others, regardless of age, whether you were traveling solo or as a couple."
1206474,9310389,2013-12-20,9587274,Wanda,"Susan & Robert are such amazing hosts.  We were checking out the Austin area to relocate for work. They were happy to share their knowledge of the area so that we less intimidated by such a big move. Susan gave us a folder full of brochures & info that was very helpful.  We even had a Great meal out together, all four of us.  Their home is beautiful!  The room & bath was Large, Very clean & more than perfect. Susan even switched out the pillows for us since I'm a bit of a finicky sleeper. We loved the in room Keurig & refrigerator with soda & water. We are excited to continue our new found friendship after we move down. "
1206474,10376410,2014-02-16,12217902,Merce,"Susan & Robert are very nice! The house and room are exactly as the pictures show and all was very clean, it is so comfortable!  We had a big room with private restroom. They are very generous and gave as all we needed . It is only 10 minutes away from downtown ( and 6th street) by car. We recommend to stay there if you are going to visit Austin! Great city with a lot of things to do."
1206474,10953613,2014-03-15,10271209,Kat,"I booked the gorgeous room at the Patterson's on behalf of my boss, Hannah, who was attending the SXSW festival. We come from Wales in the UK and I wanted to assure that Hannah was to stay somewhere welcoming & a beautiful escape while working abroad. In the Patterson's she found more than just that, she found two very welcoming people who went above and beyond the accomodate all her needs and made her feel more like a friend than a guest. She speaks very very highly of them and will be sure to see them again. "
1206474,10991325,2014-03-16,12845031,Thomas,"Wonderful hosts, clean room, privacy, a ride downtown and even fresh baked cookies! What more could you ask for? I recommend staying with these folks. Thanks Susan and Robert!"
1206474,11011915,2014-03-17,12149489,Melissa,We had an absolute lovely stay with Susan and Robert. From the moment we stepped in we were offered the kindest hospitality. The room and ensuite was in perfect condition and the location from downtown Austin is very convenient! Susan and Robert made us feel right at home in their beautiful home and would highly recommend to anyone staying in Austin to stay with them! 
1206474,11333216,2014-03-30,9085445,Inger,"Thank you to Susan and Robert for a wonderful weekend in Austin. Their hospitality was amazing! Their house is beautiful, spotless and they are so invested in insuring that your visit is the best it can be. Fresh flowers, fresh cookies, water and soda... seriously better than a 5 star resort. On top of all of that they invited us to join them at their favorite Texas 'honkey tonk' for some great people watching and dancing. Such a fun couple! A stay with them would be worth the whole trip to Austin. Highly recommend,."
1206474,11810204,2014-04-15,13488687,Harry,"This is a very comfortable place, made even more so by the incredible hospitality of Susan and Robert.  The room and bathroom is really like a suite with stocked fridge, coffee maker, flat screen TV, snacks.  But most importantly, they make you feel at home in their lovely place.  I almost don't want to write this because I want it to be a secret until the next time I can visit Austin and stay at this great spot."
1206474,12088127,2014-04-22,6335037,Eric,"Susan was an INCREDIBLE host!  I lived in Austin 10 years ago and still visit annually, and can say this is the best place I've come across on airbnb.  My girlfriend and I went down and Susan was responsive from the minute we booked until the moment we left.  I also mentioned in passing that it was my girlfriend's birthday the following day, and Susan made a delicious homemade cake after waiting for me to figure out her favorite dessert.  They also sent us away with a bag full of delicious homemade cookies.  

The place was private, clean, and with lots of extras like a personal keurig, beer, water, snacks, etc…and that was just in the private area - the house truly felt like it was open to us.  

Robert and Susan made us feel very relaxed - either allowing us our privacy or offering great advice on places to go.  Robert plays in the live music circuit that makes Austin so special so they always know the best places to go to truly experience the ""Live Music Capital of the World""."
1206474,12355105,2014-04-29,6169169,Andrea,"My first airbnb booking was a fabulous success! Other hosts will have a hard time topping Susan. The home and garden are beautiful. The guest room area is private and very spacious. Its the original master bedroom in the home, so it has a large attached bathroom. Susan had everything fully stocked with shampoos, sewing kits, single serve coffee, etc...everything you'd expect at luxury hotel. Comfy bed too. In addition to the accommodations being great, Susan made me feel really at home and relaxed. She even picked me up from the airport and dropped me off downtown on her way in to work. If I could give her more stars I would. Thanks for everything.

I felt like I was home there. It was a great experience and I can honestly say I now have great friends in Austin. The house is very comfy, and at most a $15 cab ride to 6th ave.

1206474,22594523,2014-11-10,20663045,David,"Susan and Robert have an amazing home, we highly recommend others to say with them. If you want a clean place to stay, this is the house! They have a beautiful home. Our room was better then the pictures. The bedroom had large windows that allowed for natural light. Our bathroom was extremely large with a mini fridge, microwave and snacks. We stayed with them over the week of FFFfest, they offered to drop us off and pick us up.  They allowed us to check out when ever we were done with our visit. We will stay with them again. "
1206474,26710326,2015-02-17,13461748,Domoina,"This was my first experience using Airbnb in the US, and I was in for a treat! Susan and Robert made me feel right at home. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, with close access to downtown. The room is exactly as it appears on the listing. It was very spacious, clean, and had plenty of light. Even though I rented this room, I was welcome to use all of the other amenities of the house, which was great! If you enjoy the company of feline friends, their two cats (Willie and Waylon) are the most adorable and friendliest pets. 
Susan and Robert were extremely helpful in showing me around (they gave me a few rides downtown, and pointed me to the must-sees of Austin). The house is close to Cherrywood Coffeehouse, which is a laid-back cafe that has great food. It is about a 10 minute walk from the house and has a nice vibe. 
My flight ended up being canceled because of the weather, and it was not a problem at all to stay with them for the extra night. I also ended up going to dinner with them twice, which was awesome! I would highly recommend staying with them, and will for sure return there when I next visit Austin! "
1206474,28117949,2015-03-18,11505458,Alastair,"Extra-special AirBNB experience - Susan and Robert are very good hosts and the room (with en-suite) is better quality and with more extras than places I've been before. 

As hosts, Susan and Robert, went (literally) out if their way to make sure my stay and visit to SxSW went as well as possible.  "
1206474,28386633,2015-03-23,1628386,Caroline,Susan and Robert are 5 star hosts! Their house is amazing. Im highly recommend!
1206474,28763432,2015-03-29,29961347,Jeff,"A very welcoming, slightly chatty host couple. A very nice room with excellent amenities. I felt pampered. I really liked the reading chair and light in a quiet corner. The bed was also excellent.

And they had a beer in the fridge with a frosted glass!"
1206474,33195438,2015-05-25,3179397,Kim,"Susan, our host, responded immediately and was more than accommodating to make sure our travel and stay in Austin was easy and enjoyable.    Unfortunately, we were unable to travel and had to cancel.  Once again, she responded quickly and worked with me to refund the money.

This was my first experience with Airbnb.   The property looked awesome from the pictures.  If all host are like Susan, I would never go back to another traditional BNB or hotel again.   She was amazing!"
1206474,37422987,2015-07-06,27408583,Carolyn,"Susan and Robert are fabulous hosts and lovely people. We felt very welcome in their home and they let us know that we were welcome in any part of the house. The room is lovely and very comfortable and they have a microwave and refrigerator in the adjoining bathroom, which is very convenient. The neighborhood is adorable and centrally located to many restaurants and activities. I highly recommend their place to everyone and we will definitely be back! We had a wonderful time. Don't hesitate  to stay here - it's great! I also appreciated Susan responding to my request so quickly - she was very efficient, especially since we decided to make our trip at the last minute."
1206474,46101892,2015-09-07,43364747,Alisha,I could not have asked for a more perfect 1st time experience with airbnb! Susan and Robert are exceptional hosts who provided such a warm and welcoming experience! The bedroom along with the ensuite bathroom was spectacular...everything one would need for a relaxing get-away! Susan and Robert were so helpful with the local low-down as well as such a pleasure to visit with!  I will definitely select their home for my next visit and looking forward to seeing them again! 
1206474,49812289,2015-10-06,9534122,Natasha,"My friend, Lindsay, and I recently stayed at Susan and Roberts’s home in Mueller, an Austin suburb just 10 min to DT, for four nights. This was one of the most enjoyable stays we’ve had as guests using AIRBNB. Susan was very quick with regard to all communication before we booked and then leading up to our arrival. She is thoughtful and flexible and always more than willing to help if it was needed. 
Upon our evening arrival we were warmly welcomed and made to feel very comfortable in their home. They were full of recommendations as to what we should make sure to see and do (arts, music, food—the list goes on) and even extended invitations if we wanted to join them on a few occasions for dancing. 
The one bedroom suite, which we stayed in, was VERY SPACIOUS with plenty of room for relaxing. The attached ensuite equipped with a stocked mini bar (nice touch) and microwave was also very useful. This room is just steps from the front door and sits on opposite sides of the home from Susan/Roberts suite so it was very nice that we could come and go without disturbing them even when we arrived late in the evening. Bedding and Towels were clean and very comfortable, we couldn’t have asked for more comfort as it really was fantastic! The hardwood floors were beautiful as were all the finishing’s in the home. The property was also very CLEAN, which one can really appreciate as Susan and Robert do have two cats, one which is mainly an outdoor cat and one recently adopted and very friendly senior dog named Ginger. Their fur babies were around but not bothersome by any means.
Finally, Susan and Robert are what you hope for in a host: conscientious, proud of their home, friendly, engaging, and people who go out of their way to provide the best possible experience and are always looking to make it better. By the end of our stay I can say we truly felt like we were family! AMAZING HOSTS!  Highest recommendation.

3916583,20993649,2014-10-09,1523385,Wendy,"Katherine is an exceptional host. She makes you feel welcome instantly and makes sure her guests have what they need for an exceptional stay. Her home is beautiful, within walking distance to great establishments/ACL, and the room was super comfortable. I highly recommend Katherine's place and I hope to be back at some point myself!"
3916583,28124203,2015-03-18,1021005,Jacob,"We were the first people to stay in the remodeled guest house, and it was great! Private and quiet, and within walking distance (if you like walking) or a Lyft of SXSW events. It's actually only one block from the Alamo Drafthouse that's one of the film venues, which was especially great.

Katherine was a great host, would use this AirBnB again in a heartbeat!"
3916583,28468539,2015-03-24,26740902,Liz,"Katherine and her son were great!  She was very welcoming and took great care of us.  She provided breakfast, coffee, towels, etc. which was amazing--so great to have breakfast available.

The back guest house is perfectly quaint.  Loved the screened-in porch.  There was a mini-fridge and microwave in the room so we did not have to keep running back and forth between the main house and ours.  There was not a bathroom included in the guest house, but it was totally fine having to walk ten feet to the main house.

The pictures are not of the place, but they give you some idea of what to expect---we were a little twin beds.  I think were not pictures because they just very recently finished building the guest house. 

Overall, the place was awesome and Katherine is really welcoming!  Also, depending on where your heading downtown, it is like a 30-40 minute walk.  The walk is great and totally doable on a nice day."
3916583,29878647,2015-04-13,28279586,Greg,"Katharine's guesthouse was charming, clean, and comfortable. I especially liked the outdoor screened seating area for morning coffee. The bathroom in the main house was easily accessible and clean. Parking on the street out front was easy, and access to the guesthouse through the gated fence was convenient."
3916583,30156988,2015-04-18,30445918,Crissy,"Katherine, thanks for allowing us to stay.

Pros: beautiful place
Great location
Sweet Eddie the dog
Snacks
Nice hostess 

Cons: trash was full when we arrived 
Leftover coffee in pot when arrived 
Water tank was not filled
AC vent leaked on bed
Noise at night by neighbors 

Want to be honest. Thanks again.
-Crissy and Stu"
3916583,33006424,2015-05-24,9544400,Alexandra,"Katherine was super communicative and helpful during booking and before I arrived. Everything was exactly as she said it would be and check-in was super easy, even though I was arriving late at night! The guesthouse is very sweet and clean. Katherine had stocked the mini-fridge with orange juice, water, yogurt, and apples. She also left coffee, cookies and cereal in the guesthouse, which was so thoughtful. Bed was very comfortable! And I loved sitting on the enclosed patio to work in the evenings. 

The only things to note are that the wifi signal isn't really strong enough in the guesthouse to sustain a connection for very long and there are lots and lots of mosquitos and spiders. (Hello spring in Austin!) So just bring bug spray and close your personal belongings if you don't want to find spiders in your bags in the morning. "
3916583,33372586,2015-05-27,30938081,Charles,"Katherine was welcoming, pleasant and helpful.  I liked her from our first airbnb communication, and she continued to be helpful via text as we approached and toured Austin.  The location, as described, was superb and near many of the things we wanted to do in Austin, including Zilker Park and the many restaurants on south Lamar.  Yet the street was quiet and felt quite safe.  The little guest house and main house were clean and neat, and the screened porch was a very pleasant place to sit and read.  The king size bed was extremely comfortable!"
3916583,34673851,2015-06-10,34838852,Nicole,"Katherine, her home, her guest house, and her neighborhood were all equally incredible! Every Uber driver I ordered said, ""Oh, you're staying in the best part of town!"" We walked to Barton Springs and rented a canoe and paddled up the Colorado River with a gorgeous view of Downtown Austin. Katherine was so flexible (even when I quietly went inside to wash my face at 3am)! She offered us strawberries and energy bars one morning when we went in to shower. I felt like I was staying with my adorably hip aunt whom I wish I got to visit more. I felt compelled to get her a gift because of how happy I felt to be there! I know, I'm corny. That said, we didn't see much of her. We often missed each other as we were on slightly different schedules, therefore privacy never felt like an issue. Katherine's son Nate was adorable and helpful. The guest house has an amazing sun room with screens attached to it (keeping the ruthless mosquitos out!). One morning I caught up on work on my laptop, had a cup of coffee (machine and coffee provided by Katherine), and sat in the sun room and felt at complete peace. Zilker neighborhood is stunning. A perfect mix of hip restaurants and classy suburban homes, walking to the water felt like a bootleg home and garden tour we had taken ourselves on. Not only would I recommend this place, but I'd rent it again! "
3916583,42224394,2015-08-11,26169136,Ronnie,Only have great things to say about my stay :) Katherine was an amazing host who bent over backwards to make me as comfortable as possible.The location might be the best ever for Austin.Basically on the corner of Lamar and Barton springs and also mins from downtown where all the action is.You can also walk the the Alamo draft house and shake shake in less then 30 seconds lol.I give my stay two thumbs up ! 
3916583,44234124,2015-08-24,5553008,Steven,"Everything in the guesthouse was great. The place was exactly as pictured and Katherine was very welcoming. There's a good amount of freedom to move around the guesthouse and the main house. You do have to go to the main house to use the restroom but it was readily available 24/7 so it wasn't a problem.

The location is excellent. It's about a 5-10 minute drive to cross the river and get into downtown Austin."
3916583,46430947,2015-09-10,22480934,Sarah,"Katherine has a charming guesthouse in an ideal location. The street is quiet but well suited to walking to great food, drink and Town lake AND Zilker Park for recreation. She, her son, and their adorable dog are wonderful hosts. My stay in Austin was brief, but I'm delighted to have gotten to stay at the Guesthouse Josephine. Katherine went out of her way to may me feel welcome. "
3916583,46740528,2015-09-13,38758121,Olivia,We had a wonderful time! The space was cute and cozy. We felt very welcome and appreciated all the helpful advice about the city. 
3916583,47726420,2015-09-21,41550808,Andrew,"My son and I thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant stay at Guesthouse Josephine, during a hot Austin weekend for the 2015 IMSA races at Circuit of the Americas.  The Guesthouse was very clean and more than suitably appointed for our needs.  We slept well in the comfortable beds, with the room nice and cool.  The private, screened patio provided a great spot for morning coffee and breakfast.  Proximity to Barton Springs worked out perfectly.  Katherine was a gracious host, and we were able to easily come and go in the course of our visit to COTA and downtown Austin.  Great first Airbnb experience.  Recommended."
3916583,48786207,2015-09-28,4399896,Alexandra,Absolutely loved our stay at Katherine's guest house. The place is very clean and exactly as described in the posting. Using the bathroom in the main house was no problem. And we especially liked the screened porch and the decor. 
3916583,49309134,2015-10-03,5934194,Jason,"This was a fantastic spot and Katherine made us feel right at home! It's a very nice room with comfortable beds, air conditioning, and wi-fi, as well as a cool little enclosed patio in the back. It's steps away from plenty of food and fun. Katherine was super helpful for me and my friend who traveled with me on our first trip to Austin, too! We literally could not have been happier. "
3916583,49760932,2015-10-06,20416801,Elizabeth,We had a fantastic time at Katherine's place! She was very accommodating and the room was perfect! We hope to visit again soon. 
3916583,50614885,2015-10-13,17997692,KaayBee,The guesthouse is super cute and we love the private porch. A/C worked great. Katherine was very nice and descriptions were accurate. She did make efforts to fix an issue we had the same day it was presented to her. The location is perfect. Food and activity recommendations were excellent as well.
3916583,51490341,2015-10-20,31566563,Jarrah,"katherine and her little bungalow are super cool. neat, clean and in a great part of town. "
3916583,51825823,2015-10-24,46627884,Joey,"Katherine was an amazing host, she was extremely friendly and knowledgable of Austin. She went way beyond her duty of supplying me a guesthouse and drove me downtown on her way to work and gave me great advice on where to eat while I was in town. 

The guesthouse was adorable, absolutely perfect. There is a small covered patio sitting area off the back of the guesthouse that is straight off of Pinterest. 

I would recommend staying with Katherine 100%, but don't do it during SXSW or 2016 F1 because I will be there.  "
3916583,52221240,2015-10-27,18583827,Kristen,"Great Airbnb! The guesthouse was adorably decorated and the perfect size for two people. The weather was not great during my stay but Katherine made many great suggestions for places to go and restaurants to eat at in the area. The guesthouse is also in a great location and a 5 minute Uber ride to the downtown South Congress area, which ended up being our favorite area of Austin! Katherine provided snacks in the guesthouse and pastries for breakfast inside the main kitchen! "
3916583,52828652,2015-11-02,21378597,Sabine,"Katherine was a perfectly lovely host to my fiance and I. We originally reserved the guesthouse josephine but due to heavy rain our room ended up flooding and we had to move into her other guest bedroom. Both accomodations were lovely. The guesthouse was really cute and quaint, but you do have to walk outside and into their house to use the bathroom, which i didn't realize when I had booked it. I was happy to move into the other room because it was right near the bathroom. The location was the best part about it- it's right off South Lamar which is a major road with lots of good restaurants and bars. It was also a short 30min walk to downtown austin.

Overall it was a nice experience and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a no-frills rustic adventure!"
3916583,53237882,2015-11-06,5435323,Teagan,The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Clean, open space and most importantly nice comfy beds!
Location on the East side was perfect!
Would definitely recommend."
1579405,8386263,2013-10-28,2038543,Brandon,This place was very modern and nice.  All necessary amenities were readily available and checking in and out were very convenient.  I would stay here again.
1579405,8814759,2013-11-19,9038599,Jc,"Andy provided answers to all our questions ahead of time, provided a very thorough document on all elements regarding the house, the city and activities.  Wonderful spot not far from downtown.
"
1579405,9184422,2013-12-11,7340708,Jennifer Hires,"This place was perfect for our family for 4 (although it could easily hold a lot more). It feels like a super large suite in a boutique hotel - loved the interior design. Very clean and all the amenities of home. The kitchen was great for cooking and parking was super easy.

The location was awesome - super close to the airport, downtown, UT area and right next to a lot of delicious new restaurants popping up on the east side of town. 

Andy was a terrific host. He always made himself accessible and was very flexible with us as well.

Thank you Andy!

1579405,10586101,2014-02-26,10586164,Abby,"This house was perfect for our visit to Austin. We were a group of 9 girls, it slept us all comfortably and had the amenities we were looking for. It is a short taxi ride to the airport and to downtown/6th street area. The neighborhood seems to be up and coming but we never felt unsafe. Andy was a great host and really quick to get back to me on all my questions about the house! "
1579405,10737780,2014-03-05,10031037,Jeri,"Wonderful house!  Very clean and everything we needed was there for us, including coffee, body wash, etc.  Comfortable furniture.  Very quick trip into downtown Austin.  We loved our stay and would definitely choose this house again."
1579405,10918240,2014-03-13,10682558,Tony,The accommodation was perfect for our 1 week stay during SXSW. Andy was a great host and very responsive. 
1579405,10998817,2014-03-17,910312,Robert,"Very cool house with lots of space, worked out great for our trip to SXSW.  Andy was very responsive to questions and made sure the house was fully provisioned with towels, sheets, etc.  Easy access to all the spots in East Austin and a quick ride by car, bike or bus downtown, yet quiet enough as it's a bit outside all the hustle and bustle.  "
1579405,11213092,2014-03-25,7709097,Anais,My stay at this house was great! My friends and I loved how it looked exactly like the photos posted. It was located at the perfect location close to all the places we wanted to go and working with Andy was so easy. It was hard to leave the house when it was time to go.  
1579405,11344373,2014-03-31,509177,Rachael,We really enjoyed staying here. The house was perfect for our group of 8 with comfortable beds and fun modern details. Andy was responsive to our questions and concerns although we never really got the wifi to work. The location is relatively close to downtown (and very close to the airport) but you'll definitely need a car or be willing to wait for taxis. Perfect for a quiet Austin experience.  
1579405,21230623,2014-10-13,3515180,Thuy Oanh,"The location and space of the house was perfect for ACL. The house was exactly as the description states. Andy was very fast to respond to our questions. He provided us with specific instructions on how things worked around the house and how to get the key. Andy made the checking in and out easy. He was also flexible with our check out time. There was 7 of us but the house would definitely accommodate 10 comfortably. The house was very clean. There were extra towels, shampoo, conditioner, and hair dryer. I would stay here again. It was a pleasure working with Andy!"
1579405,21977635,2014-10-27,1454156,Amy,"This house amazing!  We had 6 people staying, but it could fit probably up to 12...enough towels, etc for all...very clean, great natural sunlight, loved the little porch in the front...it was altogether perfect.  The location is just east of Downtown in a quiet neighborhood which was nice...just a quick Uber ride into the heart of downtown. 

Andy was (email hidden)per flexible on both our check-in/check-out time and he emailed me details on the house and neighborhood so we didn't have any questions and also had helped me earlier with local recommendations.

If I'm back in Austin, would def just repeat stay at this house."
1579405,25042044,2015-01-05,21421237,Christopher,My friends and I loved this apartment.  It was exactly what we needed and we honestly couldn't have asked for more.  We had 10 people total and it was very comfortable for each person.  I don't think there is a better place to stay in Austin for a large group!
1579405,26327292,2015-02-09,25428081,Monica,"House was perfect for a large group of girls celebrating our birthdays! Easy access to downtown, 2 parking spots, great bathrooms, comfortable beds, trendy decor...the list goes on! We would definitely stay there again!!"
1579405,26739964,2015-02-18,9314832,Melinda,"This house was perfect for a reunion weekend with a large group. The house looks exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for our Austin stay. The beds were comfortable and the pull out sofa beds were great as well. We were a 10 min drive or less to everything we wanted to do around town. Andy was very easy to work with, and he helped us book a fair price with a fluctuating number of guests per night as some people had to depart early. I would definitely stay in this house again. The only downside is that the neighborhood isn't very walkable and isn't on the safest street. We didn't have any problems though and were driving everywhere anyway. "
1579405,27000799,2015-02-23,25954579,Vala,My friends and I stayed here over the weekend for a reunion and we had a great time. The place was very clean and cozy with nice decoration. Location was a short cab ride from downtown and south congress ave. Andy was very helpful and understanding. He was very flexible with checking in and out time. There are 3 bedrooms and 4 queen beds which comfortably sleeps 8 people. And 2 sofa beds. Plenty of towels and clean sheets. Overall we loved our stay. 
1579405,28779486,2015-03-30,25770046,Christine,"Andy's home was very welcoming and was decorated to feel like we had officially arrived in Austin! 

The neighborhood is up and coming and this was a great place to go home to at night for a quiet sleep -just 10 minutes from downtown. I would definitely suggest renting a car as we did for easy travel. 

Checking in was super easy with a convenient welcome email to explain the details. 

We stayed for a friends bachelorette weekend and it was spacious enough for us all to all have room / shower / get ready etc. 

 Fantastic stay. Reasonable price and very clean with plenty of towels (washer/ dryer / dishwasher) etc. Would definitely stay here again! 

Thanks!

Suggest renting a car since it's not close to downtown. "
1579405,36507326,2015-06-29,1129979,Jared,The house was great and slept 10 people easily.  It was easy to get to and is a quick cab ride from downtown.
1579405,45097959,2015-08-31,35313052,Jennifer,Beautiful home. Very clean.  Easily accommodates large parties. Bathrooms provide ample amount of towels. Location is few minutes away from downtown Austin.

1579405,52204240,2015-10-27,18348925,Eric,"Awesome weekend getaway! Our group stayed at this modern vacation rental during F1 weekend, we found the house to be perfect size and location for our group of 10.  Andy was a great host, he responded to texts/emails in a timely manner, came out in torrential rain to look at the a/c fan (which was promptly fixed(breaker)). Uber rides to downtown were around 8 dollars, tasty breakfast tacos were two properties down, and the couches/living area were clean and super comfy. Overall very positive experience with my first AirBNB organized group trip."
3349679,15701887,2014-07-14,1779322,Kari,"Top Trip was great to deal with. They sent timely info, were available when I needed to call and the place was just as the pictures showed- very clean and stylish. I especially loved being able to stand out on the balcony and look down on 6th street- a truly urban feel."
3349679,16148098,2014-07-22,9289092,Brett,"Check in was fast and easy and the hosts were very quick to respond through the entire reservation experience.  The balcony literally overlooks all of the action of downtown Austin and the location is really convenient.  The unit definitely lets in the street noise from the party scene below, but that was expected and clearly explained in the property description.  Earplugs and a noise machine were even provided.  The building has a secure entry out front and there were a limited number of access cards available, so make sure your group is ok with sharing keys.  Overall a good experience and the hosts were delightful to deal with. Location can't be beat for walkability. "
3349679,18742984,2014-08-31,19160522,Jeff,"Location was perfect for our get together. Close to UT campus and other points of interest. The loft was clean and well organized. Balcony was entertaining for people watching. Wasn't overly noisy considering the proximity to 6th Street, but there are complimentary ear plugs. Highly reccommend this location if you're in Austin for non-business purposes. Our host was extremely friendly and courteous. They answered all of our questions and were extremely welcoming & professional!"
3349679,20401976,2014-09-28,21740788,Damian,It was fantastic! This is the second time we stayed downtown with Top Trip in Austin! I can always count on them to great experiences!
3349679,21009866,2014-10-09,21815012,Charles,Everything with the apartment was as advertised. Management was extremely responsive and helpful. I strongly recommend this place.
3349679,22020692,2014-10-28,11396900,Hunter,"Rented this unit for the Austin Film Festival and the location was superb. Right across from The Driskoll hotel and on 6th Street, walking distance to anything you need. Great host and unit! Highly recommend for those wanting to partake in the downtown Austin scene. "
3349679,22292180,2014-11-03,19522556,Patrick,"Everything was as advertised. The street noise was more than we expected, but the host has nothing to do with that. The apartment was clean, well furnished, and well presented. No problems getting in or with the overall instructions. "

3349679,22518898,2014-11-09,4335611,Daniel,"Check in was very easy and the hosts provided a detailed arrival/info packet. The apartment was clean and comfortable. It is also very, very central. South Congress is even just a 10min stroll over the bat bridge. The hosts left us lots of ear plugs although we didn't need them. The noise from 6th street wasn't that loud (we even stayed on weekend nights). I recommend this location if you want to stay right in the heart of downtown."
3349679,22903448,2014-11-17,12123805,David,The neighborhood is great. I mean you are looking down on to 6th street. It was easy to get in and out of the building and check in was easy with the lock box for the key. The host made sure I was ready with all the information I needed when before I arrived in Austin! 
3349679,23247648,2014-11-26,23351286,Lindy,The description is very accurate.   The building is showing its age and the rooms have a dorm feel to them.  These are economy accommodations.  The music was not a problem at all.  The management team was responsive. 
3349679,23611987,2014-12-06,7346946,Issac,"I was really impressed with all the information that Top Trip Rentals provided. Even after requesting, they wanted to ensure I'd read the description and was aware about the sound coming in from the street. The apartment was great, very clean and comfortable.  Like they mentioned, there was some noise from the street until about 2am. It might not be an ideal place if you're staying for business, but if you're coming into Austin for fun, this is the place to stay!"

3349679,28165417,2015-03-19,17262852,Andy,"The host was great, everything was ready and accurate as described when we arrived. The location was excellent if looking to be close to 6th street and downtown. Being at this location made our our lives easier during our stay for getting around downtown. Since you are right in the heart of the action on 6th street it does get loud late into the night, which we knew ahead of time and were prepared for. Top Trips was easy to reach and helpful with all questions and needs while we there."
3349679,28303163,2015-03-22,26017137,David,Everyone we dealt with was very friendly and responsive. Free snacks was a nice touch. 
3349679,28778981,2015-03-30,24203807,Elysha,"Thank you for such a positive first AirBnB experience. Just how it was listed. Appropriate to sleep up to six and right on 6th St across from the historic Driskill hotel. Please note that since it IS on 6th, the bar scene can carry into the loft. However, that wasn't something that wasn't communicated prior to my stay. Awesome communication! Thank you again. "
3349679,36375672,2015-06-28,28680112,Maritza,"The place is literally right on 6th so the ease of access was a 10 out of 10, but with that said, if you aren't going out, it does get a little noisy. The only minor problem was the shower changing temperatures on us. Love the new no key access! Will definitely rent again if we ever come back. "
3349679,38617382,2015-07-17,13362324,Chantel,Top trip rentals were very responsive to any questions I had throughout my stay. They made sure to check in regarding arrival and departure time to make sure I had everything I needed. The neighborhood and posting was exactly as described and is a great spot if you have a larger group staying with you!
3349679,39106800,2015-07-20,38337632,Greg,Loft was as advertised and fit our needs for the weekend well.  Place is clean enough but could use an updated bath tub area.  Shower head is extremely low.  Communication with hosts was excellent.  Process for entering loft is great.  I can't imagine a better location.  It is noisy at night as the host points out.  But that is why you look to stay on 6th street. 
3349679,44066823,2015-08-23,40534352,A.J.,Great location and was a very nice stay.
3349679,48273140,2015-09-25,21864271,Gary,"Accommodation was as described and perfect for what we were looking for, being very central to 6th Street and its bars and restaurants. We had no problem with noise but can understand that this wouldn't be everybody's choice. Facilities are good, parking straightforward and getting into the property is very easy even though we arrived late  "
8596124,53102856,2015-11-04,13455277,Laura,"Nice 2 bedroom condo very close to airport.  Our flight was cancelled and Ryan was able to accommodate us for that night.  Clean, comfortable, and spacious...even without much warning."
1850914,10924195,2014-03-13,12025036,Ben,It's a lovely house and better than I expected. You can be walking along the river within a few minutes and if you fancy a drink there are some nice bars close by where you can drink with the locals. The perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of big events.
1850914,22092524,2014-10-29,11266975,Tristan,"Robert and Inge were able to accommodate me on short notice, and their place was exactly as advertised. It's in a quiet, low-key neighborhood that is still centrally located in South Austin. They left me to my privacy, and there were zero issues. Everything was to expectation. Would recommend! "
1850914,49794828,2015-10-06,33106339,Claire,"Robert and Inge were very responsive to the booking and subsequent communications which made the booking process stress free. They have a beautiful home in a lovely quiet neighborhood that is convenient to everything! We came to visit our daughter and stayed here during the first weekend of ACL. Town was crazy busy and this was a wonderful oasis to come back to each day. There is a lovely sitting room to call your own with a large window overlooking the front yard gardens. The bedroom has plenty of space and is well appointed with a queen size bed, TV,  refrigerator and en suite bathroom. The Keurig for making our morning coffee was an added bonus!  Simply a joyful place to stay!"
1850914,51387312,2015-10-19,46300121,Jeannine,The rooms were comfy and quiet.  Robert and Inge's place was close and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. We had a great visit.
6006471,32379974,2015-05-17,28198786,Lauren,"We had a great experience here, awesome location, very central, and the place itself was really nice. Would definitely come back!"
6006471,45858411,2015-09-06,11848506,Aurora,"Loved the apartment, the amenities and the location. We would definitely stay here again if we ever are ever back in the area. Isaac was always quick to respond if we had any questions or needs. "
6006471,47718606,2015-09-21,30902410,Mark,"Isaac was a very good host. The apartment was very nice and clean.
The location was perfect and the pool was an added bonus.

Austin is a really great city we had a great time and if I was to go back I would contact Isaac.

Kind Regards
Mark"
6006471,48019266,2015-09-22,33403150,Kathy,"Isaac's apartment was just as listed. It was clean and very comfortable particularly the bed that was really comfortable! The neighbourhood is  as described, close to some very cool cafes, restaurants and interesting places. We walked all around the city and this neighbourhood is definitely where you want to be in the hub of it all yet still very quiet and safe. It was great to be able to use the complex's pool and outdoor lounging area.
Isaac was extremely accommodating and easy to contact. It was our first experience with Airbnb and it was flawless. We would recommend others to stay at Isaac's for sure and hopefully we'll get another chance to stay in the near future. "
6006471,48723253,2015-09-28,11941299,Adam,Great location. Easy parking.  Very walkable neighborhood.
6006471,49648926,2015-10-05,6904469,Edgar,"Isaac was a great host with a neat home that accommodated five of us in total. He was very quick to respond to any questions we had and made the check-in process very easy for us to follow. It was located in a great area of Austin with several amenities within walking distance. Overall, a great experience!"
6006471,50438484,2015-10-12,8618680,Colee,"Everything was great! Great location, great apartment! Would definitely stay again."
6006471,50799064,2015-10-14,3964148,Richard,"Isaac approved my request quickly. The easiest booking I've had on Airbnb. He sent an email immediately with detailed instructions for check in, check out, and general info for my stay, which was very helpful. The place was clean and in a good location. It was bare bones as far as items in the cupboards. Essentials like soap/shampoo, a few pots/pans, and dishes/cups are supplied but otherwise any items in the place appear to have been left by previous Airbnb stays. For example I had to buy laundry detergent to use the washer/dryer, but can't complain since many places don't even have a washer/dryer. Overall it was good value for the price. I would recommend to others and would stay again myself. "
6006471,51302521,2015-10-19,16838638,Sophia,"The appartment is not really cosy or charming. We did not like the carpet and on the 2nd floor towards congress ave it is quite loud. 

But it is roomy, in a great neighborhood and the poolarea is great! isaac provided us with every information needed. The linen and the towels were comfy and numerous. 
We really enjoyed our stay!"
6006471,52357102,2015-10-28,9193081,Ashish,You will love this place! The location is fantastic. Parking is included. No reservations-- would stay here again and looking forward to.
5531660,28100616,2015-03-17,8796027,Kathleen,"Rhiannon was a wonderful host. She went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of-- stayed up late to make sure I got in alright, had a lot of local recommendations for things to do, and even had the pantry stocked with snacks. Her apartment was clean and comfortable and she made me feel at home. I would highly recommend booking with her! "
5531660,28445074,2015-03-23,1484904,Elizabeth,"Rhiannon was an extremely responsive host.  She made sure someone was available for any issues that may have arisen.  Fortunately, everything was smooth from check-in to check-out.  The pictures are representative of the space.  Between the bed, air mattress and couch, 4 adults fit cozily.  I would recommend!"
5531660,28675486,2015-03-28,17345747,Theresa,Rhiannon's apartment was great! It was located close to a lot of bars and restaurants. The apartment complex was quiet. Rhiannon was very helpful with all of my questions leading up to my stay.
4891392,32522924,2015-05-19,10698248,Brittaney,Ana was great and the apartment was cozy. The location and proximity to our favorite Austin spots was perfect and Ana's communication couldn't have been better. The one bedroom apartment at Algarita was just the right size for my husband and I to feel comfortable while on our trip. We will definitely recommend this location to visitors!
4891392,33116892,2015-05-25,31366155,Richard,"Met us in person. Showed us around place. Friendly. Gave us some info about neighborhood.
The apartment is nice with all the neccesaties. "
4891392,34972678,2015-06-14,8833427,Jordan,"Ana's place is great. Comfortable, fitted with all kind of amenities and stuff you may need if you forgot it (sunblock, toothpaste,etc). Its tidy and comfortable.

Ana was very kind and met me in person to get me the key and show me the place. 

Pool is nice. Location is a bit off the main restaurant/bar strips but it's in a really cute residential area a very very quick Uber ride away.

326839,1017429,2012-03-19,1709064,Mitch,"My friends and I were scouring AirBnB for a well-priced and cozy accommodation for SXSW 2012. We lucked out when Kelsey posted her humble abode, which is comfortable, elegant and all things wonderful. Not only did she give us access to her great home and lovely backyard, but she also gave us a well-thought-out list of restaurants/bars/stores to check out around East Austin! One of the best experiences I've ever had on AirBnB. I'd gladly recommend her and do this again next year!"
326839,3814273,2013-03-18,2515251,Travis,"My college housemates hold a reunion every year, and we elected SXSW for 2013. Kelsey's place was a great base from which to head downtown: clean, a very quick five minute cab ride (or 30 minute walk) to the bars and clubs, and easily slept seven of us. We really enjoyed coffee on the patio before starting the trip to the festival, and there are some very good BBQ and Mexican places nearby. Kelsey was really helpful when our needs for check-in times changed, and she was in touch all weekend if we needed something. Recommended, especially for SX. "
326839,10873861,2014-03-11,8183604,Nicole,"Kelsey was a wonderful host! Before the stay she was very accommodating, and easy to work with. My account had a problem with Airbnb and she was really patient and helpful! She provided us with great information and activities for Austin before we arrived and ensured we had a great stay. Everything in her home was clean and super comfortable. Beds were great, amenities were spotless. I would definitely return for my next trip to Austin. Recommended for anyone looking for a nice and comfortable stay with a great host in Austin! Thanks, Kelsey!"
326839,28159424,2015-03-19,15909012,Angela,"Kelsey was very kind and worked with us on our arrival/ departure dates, as well as left us coffee and a nice bottle of wine. The neighborhood is very convenient if you're there for SXSW. And the house served us well. It has all the amenities you need and is close to a grocery store and some pretty nice restaurants too. I enjoyed the back porch for morning coffee and to listen to the birds."
1627417,11048560,2014-03-18,5138717,Russell,"Nell and her husband were both very friendly and accommodating. My friend and I stayed for there for 10 nights during the SXSW Music and Film Festival. The quarters have two bedrooms, a kitchen and nice sitting area. It's a separate building from Nell's house. The main bedroom is very large and there is a big, beautiful back yard with a grill, too! I would definitely stay there again. :-)


"
1627417,11435900,2014-04-02,2915028,Pierre,"Great house, very confortable, quiet, in a pleasant place.
We all have greatly appreciate our stay here.
I strongly recommend this place.
"
1627417,11556369,2014-04-07,10182928,Librado,"Great place to stay. Nell was helpful & the room was stocked with everything we needed to cookout & just relax. I also took the kids to the animal shelter near by, which they enjoyed. "
1627417,12576452,2014-05-05,8515919,Angela,"Nell's place was great! The backside of the house borders the hill country wilderness so you are bound to see deer and other wildlife while sitting down in the dining nook for dinner. Far enough from the big city to really feel like ""you're getting away from it all."" 
Great place, I recommend!"
1627417,14624290,2014-06-23,1896295,Emily,"Nell and her husband were wonderful hosts and took very good care of us. The guest house is just lovely, placed in a beautiful setting and is very comfy with everything a visitor could possibly need or want. We loved the dining room overlooking the back yard where we could watch birds and enjoy the wild flowers. The location is also great, rolling hill country with parks, preserves, and much more close by. Wish we could have stayed longer, there is so much to enjoy there, both at the guest house and in the area. "
1627417,15696665,2014-07-14,16668839,Larry,"The Hamilton Pool Road Guest House was exactly as described--very clean, comfortable and perfect for our needs.  The location was ideal for our trip, as we spent the day at Hamilton Pool, which was heavenly.  Nell also was nice enough to leave information regarding local restaurants and points of interest.  Overall, I would highly recommend this listing if you plan on being in the area.
"
1627417,17415898,2014-08-11,16389133,Bill,A perfect little ranch style guest house.
1627417,17859035,2014-08-18,18221732,Stephanie,My husband and I wanted to take a quick trip for our anniversary down to the Hamilton Pool Preserve and needed a place close by.  Nell was fantastic.  The place was clean and exactly as described.  She pointed out nearby facilities and things to do around the area.  I would absolutely stay here again.  Loved it.
1627417,18848035,2014-09-01,20440970,Logan,Everything was very clean and comfortable. The sun room was a great space to eat breakfast in every morning. Great scenery. 
1627417,19808947,2014-09-18,3068426,Angela,Nell was very welcoming towards us and my dog. She had a notebook filled with nearby groceries and other points of interest to visit around the area. Guest house was very clean with fresh bedding and towels. Sun room was relaxing during the day watching various wildlife outside. Great place for a group stay.
1627417,21216740,2014-10-13,21025730,Melissa,"Nell and her husband Chris were very warm and helpful.  They have a lovely guest house that made me and my mother feel very relaxed and at home.  We enjoyed watching bunnies and cardinals eat in the backyard from dining area. Also, very close to Hamilton Pool which is a must see.  And still close to a very nice shopping area.  I highly recommend for anyone that wants to have a relaxing little getaway! "
1627417,21543479,2014-10-19,22093344,Darla,Wonderful hosts.  The guest house is so comfortable.  Close enough to everything you need but still feels like the country.  We definitely recommend Nell and Chris' guest house.  You won't regret it!
1627417,26565336,2015-02-15,27057251,Carrie,"This was my first trip and stay at a home using AirBnB. The home was just as described - and so much better! The location was beautiful and serene, even for a Texas winter. I can only imagine what it would be during the spring or fall. Communication with the host was excellent, and they met me as I arrived. They were kind and curteous. The book they put together of local restaurants and recommendations came in very handy. I almost hated to leave! Whenever I return to Austin, I will be sure and book with this host again."
1627417,27853561,2015-03-13,28418057,Brianna,"Nell was an amazing host. Her place was cozy and comfortable. It was a great get away for the week. Close to downtown and other attractions like Hamilton pool. Will definitely return here, we had such a great time. "
1627417,28153092,2015-03-18,29345778,Brent,"Nell's place was fantastic and exactly what we were looking for. A nice, quiet place away from the hubbub of SXSW. Beds were cozy and everything we'd need was just a few miles down the road!"
1627417,28316359,2015-03-22,19224017,Alan,"The place was great, just far enough from the city to still be close but away from the busyness of the city especially during a busy weekend (we stayed during SXSW). Host was awesome, very nice people! We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Austin."
1627417,30252883,2015-04-19,31016055,Frank,"Our 2-night weekend stay at Nell's cottage home was everything we hoped and more.   Immaculate, thoroughly furnished with every detail, and nothing left out.   Quiet,  large, comfy bed.  Terrific sun-room for our Scrabble game and Breakfast.   

Hosts were very friendly and easy-going.   The location was in the beautiful Hills just west of Austin,  easy drive to Zilker Park and downtown and super close to the best of outdoor Austin:   Hamilton Pool, Pedernales Falls State Park, and Lake Travis.

We don't want the word to get out though because we'd like this to be our Austin getaway in the future too."
1627417,32845650,2015-05-22,32742770,Jim,"The location is great for a trip to the Texas hill country or anywhere in Austin.  Nell welcomed me on arrival and the left me alone to come and go as needed.  I was on a work trip so this was exactly what I was looking for.  More privacy and quiet than a hotel along with a kitchen so I didn't have to eat out for every meal.  The unit is neat, clean and exactly as described.  The location is just outside of the Bee Cave/Lakeway area and feels very secluded even though you are minutes from shopping, restaurants and other attractions.  I will absolutely be staying here again when I come back to town.  Thanks Nell!"
1627417,33752206,2015-05-31,236979,David,Nell was warm and welcoming and her accommodations exceeded our expectations.  Thank you so much for hosting us.  Top marks for this airbnb guest house.
1627417,35046044,2015-06-14,9312453,Katrina,"Wow, this place is awesome!  Nell was super easy to communicate with and very welcoming on arrival.  The super cute interior is secluded despite being on a sort of ""L"" with the main house's yard.  The cottage has its own yard and, in addition to the main bedroom, smaller bedroom and kitchen, it's own sitting/sunroom which is a highlight.  We ate and played games in there, I read to the sound of rain, and the easy access to the yard and patio (very relaxing) meant that we ate outside, too.  As if that weren't enough, Nell left muffins, fruit and HALF & HALF and OJ.  Sigh.  Gonna be hard to go to some of those other places..."
1627417,37010146,2015-07-03,5161797,Autter,"The host made us feel welcome with A/C and some breakfast muffins.  We were quite impressed with the accommodations, however the picture on the site for Hamilton Pool should not lead you on, as the pool was closed for our stay.  The wifi was spotty and that made our down time less relaxing as we could get no tv, or do any online home work.  The place was a beauty, and the back yard had lots of potential for a BBQ or even to entertain the family.  Thanks to Nell for an amazing hill country getaway!"
1627417,37325224,2015-07-06,33828682,Lenore,"Nell and Chris were amazing hosts!!! From the moment we pulled up into the driveway, I knew I had chosen the right place to stay! We met Nell right away, and she was very nice! She helped us get settled in, and make sure what you knew where everything was. Everything was organize so well, she had a binder ready with all the information we needed, from Wi-Fi to nearby restaurants and attractions.
Chris was wonderful as well! When we had any troubles at all, he was there to the rescue! Whether we needed a colander to drain the pasta, or help lighting the stove. They were there in an instant! 
 The house it's self is amazing! Located on a beautifully lush slice of heaven, they have an amazing yard, all green and full of trees! The house itself is beautiful! The beds are super comfy, and the kitchen is stocked full of everything you need. Plenty of sheets and blankets, and everything is beautifully decorated. This location is great for small families, and pets! Nell and Chris are wonderful hosts, you need to stay with them this is and will be my future slice of heaven!

1627417,37680754,2015-07-09,136132,Helena,"An amazing rural retreat!! We loved every second at Nells place. Has everything you could possibly wish for 
Didnt want to leave."
1627417,37956957,2015-07-12,17617632,Cris,We loved the place! The location was perfect for our plans. Thank you so much for making sure we had coffee and the banana nut muffins were a hit with my daughter. Your beds are so comfortable and we even had a chance to play some of the board games you had available. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area!
1627417,38544101,2015-07-16,18428795,Cara,"Loved this place! Went here for a girlfriends' getaway for 3 nights and loved the location (only 7 minutes from Hamilton Pool). Kitchen had all the amenities we needed in order to cook good meals.  The sunroom is nice in the morning and late evening, and the birdwatching is relaxing.  This was my first time using Airbnb and overall it was a wonderful experience. "
1627417,38897626,2015-07-19,32006235,Nicole,"Great place to stay and awesome hosts!! They were very accommodating and even left muffins for us that we're so delicious!! We enjoyed our stay and the Mexican food recommendation. We will definitely book with Nell again, it was a great experience!! "
1627417,40203820,2015-07-29,2409328,Maura,"If you are looking for a home away from home in the Austin area - this is it. Quiet, comfortable, everything you need. The beds were amazing and the pillows too. Like sleeping in clouds after a busy day of hiking, swimming, birding or bat-watching. 
The guest house is well appointed. I love to cook and they had every pot and pan needed and wonderful grocery stores nearby. 
The perfect location to head to Austin, Fredericksburg, or San Antonio. We had a great stay. For any birders - we even had many life birds in the backyard: the Painted bunting, the White-winged dove, the Black-chinned hummingbird. Plus deer and a grey fox too. Wonderful place! "
1627417,45959371,2015-09-07,10257992,Danilo,"Hamilton Pool Road Guest House was  charming  and centrally located to all of our activities. We enjoyed the yard,  watching several kinds of birds and even some rabbits right from the sunroom! It was comfortable and just  as advertised. Both Nell and Chris were gracious hosts. We felt right at home. The guest house was fully stocked. The BBQ on the private yard was a big plus! Thank you both for a great experience. "
1627417,46812555,2015-09-13,23930271,Karen,"Nell has created a warm and welcoming guest house! She stocked the place with OJ, creamer, coffee and muffins since we were getting in kind of late. Lots of tour guides, maps, and advice for local adventures, including hiking, wineries, and shopping. The back patio is a delightful spot - private but still open. We loved watching the birds, and being able to wind down with Roku & Netflix was wonderful! Can't wait to go back for another Hill Country adventure."
1627417,47862585,2015-09-21,44007092,Michael,"Hassle free stay in a nice, clean guest house. We had a very busy weekend and enjoyed everything. Nell was very helpful and the communication was great.  Would love to stay again sometime."
1627417,49426113,2015-10-04,4758226,Lulu,The guest house was a delight! We loved the king sized bed in the main bedroom and the small bed in the other room was cozy. We all shared the bathroom in the small room. The sun room was wonderfully bright. The muffins and fruit were delicious. The binder of suggestions were fantastic. Thank you for making our trip memorable. 
1627417,49875226,2015-10-07,37849294,Jeane,The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1627417,50305638,2015-10-11,43007860,Timothy,"Totally recommend! Quite a little guesthouse plenty of space to move around. Very clean, very cozy, full of personality. Cute little touches the lovely alcove for morning coffee with a great little view. Definitely staying here again!"
1627417,51710333,2015-10-24,39921165,Faith,Sweet place and a fantastic location! Very easy access to everything Austin has to offer. And fantastic bird and wildlife viewing from the sunroom!

732442,3788069,2013-03-15,193757,Adam,"Regina and Andy were great hosts.  They left us croissants and beers.  A great homebase for SXSW.  The house is very cool, clean and comfy.  

Thanks!"

732442,10990316,2014-03-16,4728084,Philip,Andy & Regina are perfect air bnb hosts and their home is beautiful and in the coolest neighborhood in all of Austin! I highly recommend them and their home if you're into having the best air bnb experience of your life. 
732442,13973192,2014-06-09,9533552,Alice,We had a great stay at the Dwell Cover house.  It is a wonderful creative space with interesting architectural features and fun art and furniture by Andy.  And Regina's organization is amazing - it makes you appreciate the beauty of everyday objects.  We also liked exploring East Austin for the first time.  I would definitely stay here again.
732442,14466426,2014-06-20,13667270,Karla,We absolutely loved the home!  Regina could not have more gracious and helpful of a host to us.  It was wonderful to have her there to greet us and walk us through the home and other fun things to do in the area and Austin in general.  We would definitely recommend this home to friends as well as stay here again.
732442,16081436,2014-07-22,14192363,Lisa,"Great experience staying at Regina and Andy's home.  Warm environment and a really fun part of Austin to stay.   They had the house really put together for us and left us breakfast for our first morning in the house.  I would totally recommend their home for an Austin visit, you can't ask for a better location and hosts."
732442,28002965,2015-03-16,25914008,Bonni,Wonderful accommodations and outstanding hospitality!
702785,3763203,2013-03-12,3637380,Caren,"Colette's house is cute, nicely decorated, clean and located immediately off of I35.

I was in town for SXSW so things were a little more hectic than usual in Austin. Location-wise, this was not my first choice to stay only because I would have preferred being able to walk, bike or take public transit more easily but given the event and how crazy prices get, I was really excited to come across Colette's place - it's only about 3.5-4 miles from downtown. For the most part, cabs came within 10 minutes of calling but there were a couple of times where I felt a little stranded because I had to wait so long (but keep in mind that it was SXSW!).

Colette was a really great host - especially given that I had the honor of being her first airbnb guest.  We spoke on the phone before I arrived and emailed/texted a few times. She left notes around the house for me and let me borrow things like her hair dryer.

I was the only one staying here and her place could have comfortably accommodated a group of 3-4. I would recommend Colette's place as a place to stay but would suggest renting a car (when being in town for a huge event like SXSW) to get around - she has plenty of parking.

Also, she mentions this in her description, but she does have a cat (who only stayed outside when I was staying there). So if you have cat allergies or don't like cats, this is not the place for you. I left a bowl of food & water for the cat each morning of my stay (which Colette and I had worked out before I arrived)."

They had great hospitality and I would recommend staying here. We stayed during the ACL Music Festival and it was easy for us getting there from the apartment. Great location. "
5715331,28293767,2015-03-21,3679382,Caiti,What an amazing experience! Jim O was such a friendly and helpful host and it was great enjoying some nature with the little comforts you done get camping. Thank you so much! We''ll be back. :)
2373006,28124069,2015-03-18,26385393,Lauren,"My coworker and I visited Austin on a work trip for SXSW and finding a hotel in the area was a challenge. We were so happy to have found and rented Charlie and Hannah's apartment. It was perfectly located (about a mile from downtown) and had a great pool and rooftop deck where we enjoyed really nice sunset cocktails.  The apartment was clean and spacious. They were so nice to have given us a tour of the building so we could find all the amenities (pool, gym, roof deck) and even left us beer so we could relax our first night. They were available via phone for any questions we had throughout the weekend (and even leading up to our arrival) and could not be more accommodating. I would love to stay here again when I come back to Austin. "
926034,7351261,2013-09-16,8662928,Dimitri,"The lakehouse was amazing! There was a ton of space indoors and the renovations to the house were very nice. The outdoor area was great for relaxing and just enjoying the amazing scenery of Lake Austin. I definitely would love to return! Niles was a great host and he addressed all of our requests/issues.

926034,10999190,2014-03-17,10447637,Francis,"The Lake House was incredible! Excellent location, the place is in great shape and the views are quite stunning. A few friends and I were in Austin for sxsw so the Lake House was a great place to relax after the madness of downtown.

Niles was super helpful and typically responded to all my questions within hours. 

Overall, we had a great time and hope to visit Niles in Austin again soon.

Cheers."

926034,15085563,2014-07-02,9906556,J Alex,Niles was an excellent host. The property was as described and a truly wonderful location to host a family vacation. The pictures are very accurate and views are even nicer than the pictures. 
926034,15725709,2014-07-14,564,Gaurav,Niles was fantastic with quick responsiveness and very easy going. We traveled with 2 other couples and all of us had toddlers so getting out of the house on time during checkout took a little while. He was great with being flexible with our checkout time. We forgot a baby bottle sanitizer when we left and he personally took it from the house and dropped it off at a friend's so they could bring it back to Houston. 5 star service and we would love to come back and stay here again!
926034,16293400,2014-07-25,3864713,Jeff,Incredible location for this house. Excellent service by Niles. Gorgeous house. The family loved the stay!

"
926034,26928993,2015-02-22,15109052,Richard,"Niles is very prompt about communication whether by e-mail or through airbnb. I appreciated that he text messages you the day of your stay to check if you need anything. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed our stay and everything was as expected. There was plenty of space and bathrooms which made our stay much more comfortable. "
926034,29158706,2015-04-05,17271225,Margaret,"Niles was a fantastic host! So easy to communicate with. Great house for a big family or a big group of friends. Fantastic iconic Austin views.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

926034,45919512,2015-09-07,26169163,Brian,"Lake house was fantastic and our party had a great time! If anything the pictures do not do the place justice.  There is a 4th bedroom / loft that we didn't expect and were pleasantly surprised.  Niles is extremely attentive and easy to deal with.  Will be back again!

-Brian"
5455707,27627185,2015-03-08,22861503,Kelly,"EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!  This place was an ideal situation for us.  Located just off of William Cannon makes easy access to I35.  The bedroom, attached bathroom and walkin closet were all quite spacious.  Huge bed was comfortable.  Jonn made it very easy for us to come and go as our plans changed.  We didn't get to meet him but he was excellent about communicating with us.  Thanks, Jonn!"
5455707,27789238,2015-03-11,12935525,Patrice,"Jonn's place was recommended to us by his friend, who was our Airbnb host the night prior. Jonn was very accommodating with our last minute reservation, and very communicative. He also left us a bowl of macaroons to nibble on when we arrived. Nomnomnom!

His home is spacious, clean, and located in a quiet neighborhood. The room is stocked with a collection of informative books about Austin, as well as a bunch of kitch and humor tomes. We had a good laugh flipping through one about bunny suicides. 

When I accidentally left my toiletry kit at his friend's home, he was kind enough to pick it up and drop it off at his home for me. Absolutely wonderful experience. Thanks for the great stay!"
5455707,28106107,2015-03-17,2848182,Lillie,"This was a great place for us. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Jonn was very quick to reply to all communication. The house is a short drive from downtown Austin. Highly recommend it!"
5455707,28412406,2015-03-23,2365117,New,"Excellent stay, everything was perfect, super convenient, and a great deal. Will stay here when next in Austin, for sure. Many, many thanks!"
5455707,28580037,2015-03-26,10797371,Darlene,"What a great place! We really enjoyed our stay at Jonn's.  The room, bathroom, and closet are all very spacious and clean! Jonn has everything labeled in the kitchen for easy access and he made some space for us in the refrigerator. We are definitely recommending this place!"
5455707,29026532,2015-04-02,10955307,Kenny,Great place and Great value. I loved the giant bed i got to sleep in and my own private bath. John also spent a lot of time and money on the entertainment system of the house for those who end up staying in. It is about 25m to downtown. One of the most equipped AirBnb houses. Only con would be it is sometimes hard to reach host instantly
5455707,29460357,2015-04-07,30240367,Gabriela Edith,"Jonn made us feel very comfortable since the moment we arrived he gave us indications of the location and the streets that we could use.

The neighborhood was very quiet, and with family atmosphere, it is a little far away from the center, worth it, by car we were 15 minutes from downtown, so we didn't find it difficult to move.

We went to a wedding in Buda Tx so we was relatively close to the event.

The room where we stayed is very comfortable, very comfortable bed and a nice size bathroom, and everything was very clean, a real Master Suite, exceeded our expectations, it was our first airbnb sincerely and were very satisfied."
5455707,29805842,2015-04-12,427019,Jessie,"It was so seamless and easy to communicate with Jonn.  The place was great I ended up booking an extra night just because of how comfortable his home was!  And I was so happy to meet him before I left, he's a great guy and wonderful host! "
5455707,29862617,2015-04-13,29208951,Jamie,"Great host.  Our first Airbnb experience, needed a place to stay overnight in Austin.  Jonn was the perfect host.  Clean and comfortable spot to crash with a nice king size bed in an oversized master suite.  Quiet neighborhood not far from the city and night life.  Will be sure to stay when in Austin the next time."
5455707,30054711,2015-04-16,12400585,Nikki,"We arrived late and slept late so never met Jonn at all, but everything was exactly as planned and we had such a relaxing night's sleep after a very long day. Bed was comfy and we enjoyed browsing the funny books on the shelf. Thanks!"
5455707,30335474,2015-04-20,16810434,Marius,There is a lot of space in this master bedroom. It even has it's own bathroom (which is also very spacious). John is a great host. The room was clean and access to the house was made easy by an electronic door lock. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks John!
5455707,30819333,2015-04-27,27479335,Хуан,Thank you so much for hosting us!! U r place is so great! Very clean and with a lot space!! Very comfortable!! For sure I will return!! Everything was perfect and ok!! Thank you so much!! 
5455707,30965146,2015-04-29,3443024,Jay,"Shame I didn't get to meet John but his friend Heidi made all the arrangements. What can you say, everything was as described or better. The Master Suite is HUGE! 

First night I arrived I stayed in the public space since the Master was occupied but that was even super nice and had some privacy to it. Anyway, will definitely stay there again and hope to meet John who I think does a ton of Marathons from the look of things :)

Oh, and most of the time I hung out in Central or South Austin and downtown was only about 15-20 minutes away max."
5455707,33752727,2015-05-31,34301485,Charlie,"The house was beautiful, and in a quiet neighborhood. The bedroom was huge, as was the bed, and there was an en suite bathroom as well.  Jonn was more than accommodating; we arrived about 4.5 hours later than expected, not getting in until about 2 am, but Jonn had everything sorted out so that we could come in and get settled. We didn't get to spend much time with Jonn since we only had a few days to visit with friends and see the city, but he made it easy to come and go as we pleased. The few conversations we did have with Jonn indicated a friendly and open person.

The house is not in the city, but if you have a car, or even a bicycle (and are in moderate shape), the distance is no problem. I would definitely stay with Jonn again if I were to stay in Austin again. I highly recommend Jonn and his listing!"
5455707,33883654,2015-06-01,25772655,Rochelle,"Although we arrived very late, Jonn was understanding and communication was good. The room was very clean and roomy. We had a great stay and I would definitely come back again. Although we didn't get a chance to meet, he made our stay welcoming and had no trouble at all."

5455707,34265864,2015-06-06,1483987,Mai-Tam,"My boyfriend and I stayed at John's place for a night, which was clean and tidy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and regret we didn't stay longer. The house is very close to the airport in addition to the padlock, making it convenience and easy to access if you're getting in late. John is very professional. We would definitely stay again."
5455707,34358293,2015-06-07,33679076,Nicki,"Jonn was very quick in responding to my messages and he was very accommodating to my group. He programmed the keycode just for us so that we could have easy access to the house. The room was spacious and big and the bathroom was very clean. I also liked that he included fresh towels, soap, and Wifi instructions. The books about Texas and the stuffed animals were an added touch. We only stayed one night and we would definitely consider staying here again the next time we're in Austin. Thanks for having us!"
5455707,34613131,2015-06-09,21422272,April,"John let us stay there at the last minute and we were so grateful. It was a bit further from downtown than we would of liked but we got a ride in through Uber. We loved the private bathroom, use of the kitchen and tv with netflix. John was a very good host. We highly recommend staying at his place."
5455707,34793873,2015-06-12,33324644,Susan,"We had a very comfortable stay in Austin at Jonn's house. He has a beautiful, clean and spacious home in a quiet neighborhood. Our king size bed was roomy and comfortable and the bathroom offered a garden tub and a shower. We loved the location in a country setting but close to restaurants and shopping. Jonn was an excellent host and was quick to respond to questions. We would definitely stay at Jonn's house again!"
5455707,34881221,2015-06-13,33649021,John,"5-star experience. I had a stressful time finding an affordable but nice accommodations for a conference I was presenting at. I wasn't able to get funding from my school so had to pay out of pocket. WOW --> not only was jonn incredibly hospitable and accommodating, the house is very clean, homey, and well kept. I felt as if I had as much privacy as I needed. "
5455707,35054268,2015-06-14,24602683,Andrea,"John was a great host. His house is in a really nice neighborhood, and like he says it is a about 10 minutes away from the city, but we didn't have a problem with that because we drove. My friend and I came to austin for a day of play and needed a cheaper place to stay. The master room was huge and really cool. The room was clean and he even had netflix, hulu, wifi, and cable so that was nice. We didn't really get to meet him in person, but everything that we needed we had. He is really good on communication also. If yo need to talk to him about anything he messages back really quickly. I would come back to stay here anytime! "

Loved everything!"
5455707,38138323,2015-07-13,13632411,Maria,"Jonn was a great host! I added on a few more nights because I liked the accommodations so much. I highly recommend it for the price, and as a base point for Austin and surrounding areas."

5455707,39386916,2015-07-23,33822814,Ashley,"John's house was very nice and fun. His place isn't downtown but his deal with Lyft makes it manageable. The city is still at your fingertips. 
We didn't see much of him because our schedules were quite a bit different but the times we did he was very nice! He is definitely a AIRBNB pro. He's got the hosting thing down. "
5455707,39589009,2015-07-24,39297865,Adair,"John was a perfect host! I arrived to town very late, which was no problem at all because he gives you a code to open the front door. The room was identical to the picture, clean, cool and comfortable. The bathroom was adorable and stocked with extra amenities in case you forget anything. I only stayed one night but I wish I could of stayed longer! Thank you for your incredible hospitality John!"
5455707,40006293,2015-07-27,28030614,Jazara,"John Is an excellent host. His house is very comfortable and awesome if you love movies.

You will love staying here. I did and can't wait to go back :)

The pictures on the ad are not enough to describe the quality of the room...
The neighborhood is very calmed, surrounded by nature, having a vehicle to move around is important though... We'll definitely stay here again!"

5455707,43954483,2015-08-23,18870414,Gilbert,"The Master Suite at Jonn's home is very spacious, clean and comfortable. It easily fits 2 people and even 3. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom has a large tub with a walk in closet. There is also a washing machine and dryer that you can use in the apartment.

The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for a morning walk before it gets hot. The location is also 10 min away from bus stop to get to downtown. For those who have car, parking is also available.

Jonn was very welcoming and nice. I had to check in by midnight and he was kind to stay awake until I arrived. 

I highly recommend Jonn's place."
5455707,45276029,2015-09-01,4950423,Samantha,"My husband and I stayed here for five nights when we first moved to the city. The place was perfect! It was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The master suite looked just like it does in the photos, and felt very spacious. Gorgeous bathroom with a huge walk-in closet. Being able to use the kitchen and living room space as well was a huge plus. John was a terrific host. Very interesting and cool guy- laid back, friendly, and accommodating. We really felt at home while staying here. "

He also has a HUGE digital library of movies to enjoy. The neighborhood is quiet and calm and great."
5455707,46356246,2015-09-09,39203600,Dan,Everything was perfect. The king size bed made me want one of my own. I enjoyed using the bathtub too. The wifi worked well. It's a quiet street.

5455707,47471759,2015-09-19,5520847,Gary,"Although i was there for 3 nights, I did not see or talk to Jonn very much due to our schedules and my long hours at COTA .  He was very pleasant in welcoming me to his home when I arrived but still respectful of my privacy while I was there.  Jonn was very considerate and went out of his way in keeping the room cool and leaving both indoor and outdoor lights on for me. Jonn's home and guest room are immaculately kept  The linens were clean and the bedroom and bathroom were very clean and spacious.  The location is very good, a short drive to Austin(10min) and especially convenient to those working or attending COTA.     Highly recommended for the price and would stay there again in a heartbeat.  Thanks Jonn!"
5455707,47993756,2015-09-22,1727716,Joe,"John had a lovely home, the room was immaculate and the neighborhood was very quiet. The area was perfect and not far from the city, Thank you John for being so accommodating and letting me have a great birthday! Would HIGHLY recommend staying here. "

5455707,50561895,2015-10-12,45663963,Emile,"Jonn's home was super clean and welcoming. Before we arrived, Jonn messaged me to let me know what to expect. The bathroom has a clean shower and bathtub and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and we all slept well. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this to a friend."
5455707,50821065,2015-10-14,46319600,Juan,Jonn was able to get my room ready on short notice and made sure I had everything I needed.
5455707,50971784,2015-10-16,43306286,Shreyash,It was great Staying at Jonn's place. Everything was arranged before hand and we felt very comfortable staying there. I don't think I can find better place to stay in Austin.

5455707,51588227,2015-10-21,18359874,Sheryl,"Jonn is a gracious host, even allowing our very late arrival after a concert. His representations of the master suite were spot on. A simple, clean, yet warm place to stay. We'd stay here again, when and if the need arises. Thanks, Jonn."
5455707,51683741,2015-10-22,3682479,Sean And Brittany,"Wonderful experience here again. Jonn was able to accommodate on short notice, enlisting the help of family to ensure the room was ready. We are very grateful to Jonn!"

5455707,52388724,2015-10-28,47434373,Charles,Wow what an amazing place! 5 stars!
5455707,52763118,2015-11-01,46961041,Cherie,"John was a fantastic host! We were experiencing bad weather in Houston as well as news that Austin was receiving heavy rainfall too. Originally we thought we wouldn't be able to make the trip during Halloween weekend, but John kept us updated about the inclement weather and we were able to make it-- even though we arrived later than expected he was very understanding! The master suite was very nice and exactly like the picture shown. Spacious, clean, and very comfortable. He was accommodating and gave us the privacy we needed the entire stay. Not to mention his location was perfect for traveling to and from downtown Austin. All in all, it was a great experience and I would recommend anyone who is considering to stay with John to do so. I know I would definitely come back!"
5455707,52980067,2015-11-03,3628970,Laurie,The room is exactly as pictured.  The bed is large and comfortable.  The bathroom adjoins the bedroom.  Everything is private and clean!  Jonn made it simple to come in and out of his home and we felt like it was our own place!
5455707,53101932,2015-11-04,11217408,Jacob,Very clean and super convenient to the airport. 
5455707,53166247,2015-11-05,3682479,Sean And Brittany,Jonn is the best host I've encountered thus far in my Airbnb experience. This is my third time staying in his Master Suite. The room is always clean and ready when I arrive. I am very thankful to Jonn for consistently accommodating my demanding work schedule.
5386787,28908167,2015-03-31,22861676,Steven,"it is a great location and was clean and well furnished. We added a cork screw to the kitchen equipment and had a lovely time. 

Only issue was one morning the parking spot was taken by another person but I think they had just parked in the wrong spot.

thanks for a great stay"
5386787,29874979,2015-04-13,25429999,C,"Thanks to Ryan and his team, my friends and I (12 in total) had a great time in this centrally-located apartment in Austin. The whole experience from the use of a keypad so we didn't have to think about keys to the ample towels/linens allowed us to enjoy our stay in the comfort of a home without losing the luxury of a hotel. Ryan and his team are professional, friendly, and very quick to pick up the phone to answer questions. Thomas, in particular, has lived in Austin for a long time, so he could answer logistical questions about parking and also make recommendations for food and drink.

We'll certainly be in Austin again soon and will make sure to book this place again."
5386787,30468290,2015-04-22,16455544,Will,"Great place in the middle of Austin. All the best neighborhoods are in close walking distance, and the condo is more than big enough for a very large group. Logistics are simple with the hosts, and everything was very smooth for us. Would stay again in a heartbeat."
5386787,30789966,2015-04-27,8312719,Russell,"Ryan and his team were very communicative, attentive and helpful. The condo was great for our group, very clean and in an unbeatable location. We were able to park our surplus vehicles at the hotel across the street for free and most folks were able to sleep (if we didn't stay up half the night anyways!). We only had one minor issue with the condo during our stay and Ryan's team responded very quickly. Thank you and I would definitely stay here again with a group in Austin!"
5386787,31329604,2015-05-04,30021246,Casey,"Very convenient experience.  The keyless entry makes checking in and checking out a breeze.  Great location, walkable in just a few mins to everything downtown.  Plenty of sheets, towels, toiletries for a full house.  An overall great experience.  "
5386787,32617711,2015-05-19,32903440,Daniel,"The experience that we received from Ryan and his team was exceptional.  Every issue that we faced was dealt with quickly and to our satisfaction.  I would highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for a nice, convenient place to stay in Austin.  It is in the perfect location -- walking distance to everything.  I would definitely look into staying at this or another of Ryan's properties on my next visit to Austin."
5386787,33265029,2015-05-26,31285246,Graham,"Host was great, listing was as advertised and we were welcomed at the time indicated without any issues."
5386787,33801341,2015-06-01,3180396,Rob,"Ryan and his team were extremely welcoming and made the whole process very easy from booking to check-in to check-out.  All the info we could have possibly needed was written out, but they were always available by phone, too.  We were 10 guys for a bachelor party.  The location was perfect!  A short walk to both 6th St. and Rainey St.  The condo was in great shape.  I would highly recommend it for groups our size.  Only thing to keep in mind for big groups is there are only 2 bathrooms, but it wasn't an issue for us.  They let us check in a few hours early at the last minute since one of the guys in our group was there early.  I'm sure that's not always possible, but they adjusted on the fly.  Highly recommend!"
5386787,34415485,2015-06-08,30015449,Evan,"Excellent rental.  The condo was as described, was in great condition, and had all of the amenities that one would hope for.  Towels, shampoo, trash bags etc were all there for us.  Coded entries make the complex and unit easily accessible for a group, AC and comfortable beds made our stay very pleasant.  This condo is in a prime location if you want to experience downtown Austin.  Everything is within walking distance, and transportation to the airport couldn't be more convenient."
5386787,35553409,2015-06-20,6780118,Gabriel,"This is an extremely convenient location, close to the convention center and downtown. Lots to do in the area.

Ryan and his team did an excellent job with communication and requests. The Keurig with coffee available was a very nice touch."
5386787,36955405,2015-07-03,16717343,New,"Awesome location, great property, and fast support. "
5386787,37436205,2015-07-06,32246803,Tayo,"Amazingly Cool Condo, very stylish and the location can't be (email hidden)e rooms are spacious, stylish, and super comfortable...Everything from gaining access to getting around town was made very easy thanks to Ryan's guidance and instructions... Will definitely book again when I'm in town...the experience was second to none... Thanks Ryan"
5386787,38132611,2015-07-13,29282106,Michael,"Location was awesome, and the house worked out great for our group. Ryan was very responsive to any requests. I would stay here again. "
5386787,39001236,2015-07-20,11637632,Harrison,"Ryan was a great host!  This condo fit all of our needs perfectly.  The location is amazing, the unit is perfectly finished and great for a larger group.  Ryan was flexible with our check in and check out times and provided a great summary of cool things to do while in Austin.  I would highly recommend this place to others looking to visit Austin!"
5386787,40011626,2015-07-27,38446019,Kristyn,"This was an awesome rental in a prime location. Everything (restaurants, bars, shops, etc.) is walking distance from the condo. We loved using a passcode for entrance rather than a key because this allowed for group flexibility. We (group of 10, all young 20's) stayed for 2 nights. We received the apartment in great condition (clean, well-stocked with supplies). I think had our stay been longer the space would have gotten too tight, but it worked well for what we wanted (price, location, amenities). The master bathroom was smaller than anticipated, but the description posted is fairly accurate. The loft space is a hidden gem! We never figured out how to work the TVs, but we honestly didn't try that hard. We were too busy having fun in Austin! Be aware that there is only 1 parking spot in the complex garage. Street parking wasn't too bad though. I would definitely stay here again in the future. Thanks Ryan!"
5386787,40937506,2015-08-03,36198296,Eric,"The Director's Suite was absolutely perfect for the large bachelor party group we had. The style and decor are perfect for a bro weekend. The beds are super comfy and there are plenty, plus two plush sofas upstairs that could easily be slept on. Everything was stocked including shampoo, conditioner and soap. The location is great and you can walk anywhere downtown. Ryan was a great host. We had trouble getting in the door when we arrived, he had provided his cell number so I gave him a call and he unlocked the door from his phone for us (how cool is that?!). Then he recent the info email that had gone missing and periodically checked in on us via text. We loved everything about staying at the Director's Suite. "
5386787,41417004,2015-08-07,147529,Kenneth,Everything went great! My company and I stayed here for NI Week and Austin and loved it!
5386787,42023128,2015-08-10,33154244,Miguel,"My experience with the Director's Suite and with Ryan Windsor were both phenomenal. Ryan was very accessible and flexible and - with one comprehensive email - provided me with all the information I needed to get set up in the unit. He also included local information in the event I wasn't familiar with the area. The unit itself is beautiful and had everything my 8 person group needed for our stay. The appliances were top notch, there was plenty of very nice silverware/plates/cookware for our use, having the use of a name-brand washer and dryer was a great bonus and all the cleaning products/soap/shampoo/conditioner, etc were also provided in the unit. The beds were extremely comfortable, the bathrooms (and the entire unit itself) were impeccable and the temperature controls were excellent, which kept us extremely comfortable both day and night (it was over 100 one of the days we were there - the air conditioning kept the unit at our preferred temp of 68 without a single issue). The location is perfect!! We were able to enjoy three days in Austin without once thinking we needed a car - look for yourself on google and yelp - there is enough around this location to fill a month's worth of activities. The inclusion of a gated and reserved parking spot was perfect for my rental car and I was able to shuttle all of my friends back and forth to the airport knowing that - despite the traffic of downtown Austin - I would have a guaranteed spot back at the unit. In short, if you have a large group and are planning to visit Austin, definitely consider this unit! We paid less than what it would have cost us for a hotel and we got FAR more than we would have if we had all rented individual rooms. Plus, we had the benefit of being able to stay together and enjoy each other's company during the down times, which you just can't get at a hotel with individual rooms. Highly recommended!!!!"
5386787,42477418,2015-08-13,338961,Edward,Great service!  I was in Austin on business with 4 colleagues and this was a perfect place.
5386787,43767113,2015-08-22,34468309,Amy,"I stayed here for Keller Williams Mega Camp with a group of people and we rented both this unit and the Silver Screen condo directly next door.  It was perfect for our group!  Very walkable to everywhere downtown where we needed to be.  The unit was clean, spacious, and the keyless entry was perfect so we didn't have to worry about everyone having and keeping track of keys.   Ryan was easy to communicate with and very friendly the entire process.  I would definitely recommend!"
5386787,45104679,2015-08-31,1846339,Howard,"Ryan was an amazing host! From start to finish he was incredibly welcoming and informative with the listing and its surrounding attractions. The place itself was fantastic, perfectly located in Austin near everything you want to be near as a visitor. Would definitely come back to visit Austin again. Would most definitely book a reservation with Ryan again. Thank you, Ryan! "
5386787,45723307,2015-09-05,18809887,Chris,Everything was wonderful 
5386787,47620416,2015-09-21,6245613,Nick,"The house was solid. Only 2 bathrooms for a whole lot of beds, but clean and as described. Location is unbeatable and very central, so no car needed. Keyless access, so check in and check out are super easy. Hosts were very accommodating and gave us extra late check-out. I would highly recommend this property and these property managers."
5386787,48695866,2015-09-28,23292582,Michael,Great location and unit. Perfect for groups and was very clean. 
5386787,49599588,2015-10-05,9999098,Kacey,"Spacious loft in the heart of downtown Austin! It was ideal for our group of 10 in town to celebrate a friend's bachelorette party. We were able to walk to Rainey and 6th Streets, and there are a lot of cute coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants in the neighborhood. Ryan and his team were gracious hosts! They accommodated our check-in/check-out requests and were easily reachable for any questions that popped up during the weekend. "

When we booked, Ryan sent us a very descriptive welcome email with all necessary information for how to get into the complex and the apartment, as well as recommendations for places to go. Ryan was also able to work with us for an early check in. Overall great time in Austin!"

6820252,44425439,2015-08-26,34595932,Melissa,"Such a clean and cozy home. Kalli is very very nice. They have two sweet dogs, and they had everything that we needed! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!"
6820252,45115334,2015-08-31,9782838,Thilo,"We spent are really great weekend at Kalli's house in Austin. They are wonderful people and provided us with everything we needed. Although it isn't exactly downtown, we definitely recommend staying at this wonderful place! It is a lovely neighborhood, very quiet, and just a few yards away from the Colorado river - simply perfect for relaxing and enjoying wonderful Austin. Her dogs are super cute and we felt welcome immidiately :) The bed- and bathroom are spacious and we didn't miss a thing - and we also had enough space in the refrigerator to store what little we needed over the weekend. (The kitchen is awesome by the way...)"
6820252,46434835,2015-09-10,27248093,Natasha,"Kalli and her husband George were great hosts. Easy to deal with during the booking process, accommodating on our arrival time and easy to talk with. The room is comfortable and homey. Access to Austin was easy with the rental car we had. They even stock vegemite if you're Australian and wanting some home comfort. Their dogs are awesome too. Thanks for allowing us into your home for two nights. Best wishes Natasha and David."
6820252,46652497,2015-09-12,3075929,Jennifer,"Kalli was very responsive to my inquiries and all questions I had prior to and during my stay. The home was close to the airport and easy to find. The room was comfortable and well decorated, as was the rest of the home. "

I wish that my stay would have been longer so that we could have spent more time together! Overall A+
6820252,47681052,2015-09-21,13386794,Michael,"Fantastic AirBNB Host!

Room is exactly as seen and described.   Kalli was great at leaving me all the information I needed for my stay.

Very comfortable bed, and very attractive home in a nice and quiet neighborhood.   For as busy as my weekend was, I slept incredibly well here.

Enjoyed meeting Kalli, and the two dogs Izzy and Randy.

Highly recommend this host!"
6820252,49439483,2015-10-04,29539541,Erica,"Kalli wasn't there, but she sent me a detailed message of what to expect and the accomodations in the room were very nice! Their dogs were really sweet, and my boyfriend and I enjoyed the proximity of the house in relation to downtown. Kalli also kept me updated on anything we needed and gave us detailed instructions of everything we would need to know for staying in the house. Overall, a great experience! Sad we didn't get to meet Kalli, but I would definitely recommend her for an Airbnb host!"
6820252,51452230,2015-10-20,43734673,Terry,"Our host Kalli was very engaging. Her house is beautiful, clean, and spacious; and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We would be pleased to stay there again."

3359032,15281484,2014-07-06,15089190,Loan,"Mike's place is awesome. Looks newly remodeled. The views of the city line is gorgeous, which can be thoroughly enjoyed from the hammock on the balcony. The place is close to restaurants and shops. The walk to 6th street was safe. And it didn't feel like half an hr because there was a lot to see along the way. The apartment is nicely decorated with plenty of interesting books and posters to look at. Junior, the cat is quiet and cute. Mike provided us one twin size inflatable bed, a couch, and his own bed. I would definitely recommend this place. One piece of advice is remove/hide valuables in your car. We saw one car's back window smashed in."
3359032,18413764,2014-08-26,935921,Sergei,"I spent three nights at Mike's place. The location was very convenient for me - only 10 min from the conference I was attending and close to downtown. The place is very clean and taken care of. The balcony is big and has a great view. The bed was comfortable enough. Wi-Fi connection was fast and stable. A public swimming pool was a very welcomed addition in hot summer days.
My only issue with the place was that it's not a separate room but a loft which was not clear from the listing description. But apartment was empty most of the time so it's not a big problem. "
3359032,22309353,2014-11-03,11136941,Roderick,Convenient location for a short trip!
3359032,22644928,2014-11-11,20269050,Carl,Mike has a great spot!  We had a totally awesome weekend.  He's conveniently located near pretty much everything you should check out while in Austin.  The south side is really booming right now and you're only a short walk from downtown.  I will definitely be hitting up Mike again the next time I'm in town!
3359032,25776063,2015-01-25,12609165,Cedric,Mike was very generous and accommodating. Very clean & his location is exactly what we expected. Definitely recommend him to anybody. 
3359032,25820460,2015-01-26,15999744,Johanna,"Mike's skyline view of Austin was really awesome. As a first time visitor to this city, I thought it was truelly a great place to stay location wise, and Mike had great communication as a host. "
3359032,25869067,2015-01-27,26693266,Julio,"Awesome experience, phenomenal view, highly recommended! Will be back!"
3359032,25933140,2015-01-30,5080241,Aron,"The apartment does indeed have a beautiful view of downtown and is in a convenient location. However, I had two serious problems: 

1) The first night, I couldn't sleep, because there was a party until 3 am (on a Monday).
2) The second night, I was moved to an airbed on the floor of the den, which is not a ""real bed"" in a ""loft"" as promised in the original ad. So, I left."
3359032,28121486,2015-03-18,1250076,Naren,"If you want to be surrounded by cat faeces, filth, sticky floors and general filth you have the right place to stay.

Sadly the apartment could be great - nice setup, great location. But it was filthy - like utterly horrible. I did tell Mike this personally too as I don't believe in writing reviews without telling the owner first.

I arrived, Mike wasn't even aware that I was arriving. I then had to ask him 3 times to change the dirty bed sheets for clean ones.

Cat litter was strewn around the kitchen, all the walls had dirt marks on, the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in months . The bin was over flowing, the toilet was horrible.

I have photos if anyone would like them. There was also cat faeces marks on the floor and his cat kindly left a large pile of faeces on the floor one day. When I told Mike, he cleaned one part of it up, but not the other... not using any disinfectant or cleaning product.

"
3359032,32800530,2015-05-21,27793025,Trinity,Apartment in great location. Hope to spend more time in Austin again soon
3359032,33045962,2015-05-24,33784798,Claire,I liked Mike. He is very responsive and kept everything right as long as you asked. 
3359032,35895992,2015-06-22,10016795,Hugo,"Mike was a nice guy and remained in touch via message (worked during weekend and only saw him the morning we left). There was an issue because he had not explicitly stated that the guest room did not have a bed (lack of pictures as well). This was handled with AirBnB. Two of the mattresses could not hold air overnight, which Mike said he will patch after being addressed. Location was solid and close. Cleanliness has room for improvement but was not as bad as some prior reviews."
3359032,36616031,2015-06-29,1283066,Fahim,Great location!
3359032,37380059,2015-07-06,35299504,Tyler,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Mike was super hospitable. I felt like I was hanging out with one of my buddies. The apartment itself was very nice. Within walking distance of downtown. We had a perfect view of the 4th of July fireworks. And just a great view of the city in general. 
3359032,38362373,2015-07-14,4441075,Adam,"First the positive, Mike was nice and very accommodating, since we booked it last min. Left us the key and the ability to come and go as we pleased

Unfortunately the sheets on the bed were filthy, like dirt and sand under the covers and on the pillow.  There was also a cat which was not listed on the listing, we had to go buy allergy meds. "
3359032,39133678,2015-07-20,38747969,Sergio,"Staying at Mike was really cool, as stated in the page/ad/app no rules, great location and well overall it was a cool experience. He always texted back almost right away"

3359032,50434966,2015-10-12,22577133,Jeff,Mike was an excellent host! He was very friendly and had everything we needed. This is why I love Airbnb's over hotels! We were walking distance to Austin city limits and things couldn't have worked out better.

 Thank you again

It’s walking distance to Zilker Park, and a cheap Uber ride away from 6th street with several restaurants and bars close by. Jay was great to work with and was responsive from day one; he was extremely helpful and was always easy to reach if you had any questions.  He was also very hospitable leaving us some food and drinks to make our stay that much better. I would highly recommend Jay if you need a place to stay."

The place was very clean and depicted very well in the online photos, and though there were only two people in our party, the place would easily accommodate more. Her communication and instructions for the property were clear, and it couldn't haven't been easier to check in and check out. The location was PERFECT. I would definitely recommend Mireille as a host and this property for your next visit.  "

The neighborhood is nice and easy to access South Congress, S. 1st, and Lamar/Zilker.  It is a short drive to the airport too.  We highly recommend this stay!"

It was also pet friendly and had a nice little yard for the dogs and for us.  It's in a really nice neighborhood and we took a nice walk around to look at the beautiful houses in the area.  We would definitely stay again.  We didn't have any interaction with the host, with the exception of email/text with basic information, but the instructions were clear.  Loved it.

The walk to South Congress was a little long for the kids, but the very short drive was no problem.  Laundry room was so convenient, with new huge washer and dryer.  Neighborhood was clean, quiet and safe. Kids were excited to find our hostess left KitKats, and mom was excited to find she also left a bottle of wine.  Thanks!  "

5524697,37235814,2015-07-05,26471152,Diana,The home was just what we were looking for! Space was perfect size and great layout. We loved making breakfast each morning. I especially liked the doggie door and small yard for my dog to use...that was super convenient! Home is in a great location and easy access to freeway. The sheets were super soft and certainly cozy but the mattress could have been more comfortable. We had a great experience overall and would certainly stay here again.
5524697,38076657,2015-07-12,13396552,Samuel,Mireille provided us with everything we needed.  The house was very clean and well supplied.  Parking is easy and the location is superb.  There were even snacks left for us which we unfortunately never got to.
5524697,38654318,2015-07-17,4539521,Pat,Nothing but positives from our recent stay at Mireille's place in Austin. Great neighborhood minutes away from SOCO. Place was clean and had all the necessities. Even a nice bottle of wine. At least I hope that was for us. Ha. Liked having a code to get in versus handing off keys. Was perhaps the nicest AirBNB home we have visited and recommend highly.
5524697,38908891,2015-07-19,12470444,Lisa,"Home was just as beautiful as in the pictures!  Very close to SoCo and in a beautiful quiet neighborhood.  Beds were extremely comfotable, full kitchen and comfy, squishy couch.  Will come back again when visiting Austin family if available. Thanks! Lisa"
5524697,39716104,2015-07-25,18337750,Brynn,"Austin was amazing! Super cozy duplex  & close to downtown. I like that Mireille had also a list of places to check out. The beds were incredibly soft & comfortable! I especially like the ""Save water Drink Wine"" frame on the bathroom wall. I was nervous at first due to all the instructions that comes with staying in this apt . However, it wasn't as difficult as it seemed. The 10 digit keypad wasn't hard to figure out, &Mireille was quick to respond to any qts we had. ( the code to the laundry room was hidden deep in the list of instructions so I ended up just texting her when I couldn't find it, she responded promptly). I would definitely recommend staying here. We booked it pretty last minute too since we weren't sure when we would be traveling through Austin so I'm glad we found such a cute place. Thanks, Mireille!"
5524697,39815225,2015-07-26,31366498,Jacqui,"This is a perfect place! Close to SOCO and in a cute neighborhood. My sisters, mom and I really enjoyed our stay in this charming house :) beautiful finishes and very comfortable beds! We will definitely stay again when we return to Austin!"

964847,4328632,2013-04-28,5910087,Rebekah,"When I travel I look for small units that have the comforts of home; kitchen, washer/dryer and much more square feet than a hotel room. It saves a lot of money! I couldn't have been more pleased to stay at Diana's apartment, because it was  private, clean and very quiet. The weather was mild and I loved walking on the nearby trails in the Greenbelt. The water along the trails was clear and fresh from the natural springs. I'd love to stay there again whenever I'm in Austin. I highly recommend staying at her apartment."
964847,8813373,2013-11-19,8593034,Armando,"Diana was incredible!  As she new that our main purpose was to assist to F1 race, she had taken care of all the info regarding this before our arrival.  The place was clean, nice, near to everywhere and just great for our purposes.  I will highly recomend her and her place. I look forward to receive her here at Quito.  We really enjoyed our stay at Austin.  Thank you Diana... big hug and kiss from all of us"
964847,10844497,2014-03-10,2563586,Patrick,"Diana is a fantastic host, and her apartment is very large, open and clean. It's conveniently located to Greenbelt and Zilker, but if you're heading downtown, I'd recommend renting a car or getting a ride. Diana is very accommodating and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure you have a pleasant experience. I'd absolutely recommend her place!"
964847,10936722,2014-03-14,7699938,Brown,"Diana's place couldn't have been nicer! I have traveled quite a bit and have never had the level of service we received. The condo is beautiful, very tastefully done and in a wonderful location to see Austin. 
From making sure we had morning coffee and cream to being on hand to answer any questions we had - this is the place to stay. I would give it my highest recommendation!
Brown Hobbie"
964847,11010467,2014-03-17,10241509,John,"Diana's place was perfect for our weekend in Austin. From the start, Diana was friendly, helpful, and responsive. She was flexible when it came to our check-in and check-out times, and even bought us bananas, granola, and milk for breakfast. To put it simply, Diana is awesome.
Her apartment was exactly as advertised. Clean, cozy, and the location is an easy 10 minute drive to downtown Austin, and walking distance to Barton Springs. The balcony is a also a perfect place to have breakfast on a nice morning. 
We highly recommend Diana's place, and we'll be sure to stay again the next time we're in Austin. 
Thanks Diana! "

"
964847,13746882,2014-06-03,14122834,James,"We rented this apartment for two friends from out of town, who found the apartment setting and size just right. They enjoyed being tucked into a wooded area that felt remote from the ""madding crowd"" yet near Whole Foods and other Austin institutions. The bedroom and dining/living area were bright and airy. The host was attentive to the special needs of our friends and available throughout the visit for any additional needs. "
964847,15378281,2014-07-07,17528611,Sarah,"Diana was a great host, accommodating our group even with a last-minute holiday weekend reservation and a midnight arrival, and was cheerfully flexible about check-in and check-out times. Her place is immaculate and comfortable, perfectly situated for our activities in and around Austin, and the nearby Greenbelt ensures quiet mornings and cedar-fragrant evenings. She gave us some useful tips about the area and provided any breakfast food we requested, a lovely gesture giving us a great start to every day. Our whole group would be happy to stay at her place again, and couldn't recommend her any higher as a host."
964847,20695098,2014-10-04,20108567,Becky,Diane was a very good host. Everything was just as promised. She was available with any questions we had and provided excellent accommodations.

964847,21276302,2014-10-14,3725043,Alexa,Diana's apartment is perfect for a weekend getaway in Austin. It has a beautiful overlook balcony of gorgeous Texas trees. The bed is very comfortable (can fit 3 people if needed) and the mattress that she has for the extra guests is also great! Diana herself was a very welcoming host. Bought us cookies and fruit for our stay. The whole experience at Diana's apartment went smoothly and we felt right at home! 
964847,22032436,2014-10-28,10750407,Matyas,"Awesome place to stay. Convenient, quite location. The apartment is clean and very well kept and had everything we needed.

"
964847,22673157,2014-11-11,1231127,Michael,"We had a great time staying at Diana's place. She met us when we arrived and gave us a quick rundown of the place and what was nearby. Our stay was seamless... the place had everything we needed and a VERY comfortable bed. The location is great for someone who loves Barton creek trails, the pool, and access to downtown.

Diana was very accommodating with check-in and out times, and easy to reach via text. We definitely recommend staying at Diana's!"
964847,24439019,2014-12-28,21176066,Barbara / Scott,"We rented Diana's place over the holidays so my folks could stay near us. She is a lovely host- very communicative and accommodating, easy to get a hold of, prompt to respond. Her place was perfect for us. The location is great- as described for walking to zilker or the pool; steps from the greenbelt for hiking, rock climbing or terrific mountain biking; easy bike, car or uber to downtown. Place was really well cared for- very clean, super comfortable bed, and quiet for a ground floor condo. We will definitely be requesting Diana's place again for future guests!  "
964847,27919160,2015-03-15,9524098,Alec,"Just as advertised, Diana's place is comfortable and bright.  It's convenient to Zilker Park and from there to the rest of Austin.  Travel time to the park is 5 minutes by car, less than 15 by bike, or a very pretty 45 minute amble down the woodsy Barton Creek trail.

The apartment itself exudes a lively and loving spirit, with lots of small religious items and decorative lights in its wide-open spaces."
964847,28467800,2015-03-24,2239385,Trent,"Staying at Diana's place is truly a dream come true. She is by far one of the most gracious, accommodating hosts I've ever had the pleasure of staying with- even stocked the fridge with one of my favorite beverages! She truly pulls out all of the stops. The apartment is in one of the most prime locations in Austin and is EXCEPTIONALLY clean... Her back patio facing the woods is absolutely gorgeous. Also, Diana as a person made me feel very at home. I would absolutely recommend this place to any person willing to stay there, it's literally a five minute drive to Cesar Chavez downtown and it's right next to the freeway, so if you need to head north, you're there in 10-12 minutes. If I had to dub this place with a catchphrase, it would without a doubt be, ""Home away from home."""
964847,28735126,2015-03-29,28654748,Amy,Diana was the perfect host.  She asked for requests for groceries for breakfast.  She met us when we arrived.  She was accommodating without being intrusive.  Comfortable and a great location.  My son and I went hiking every morning on the beautiful Barton Creek.  This was our first experience with airbnb and we'll be back.  
964847,33333522,2015-05-26,30022548,Kelsey,"This was our first experience with airbnb, and after our stay at Diana's, it won't be our last! Diana is the kindest, most thoughtful person. I told her beforehand that my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, so she greeted us with wine and chocolates when we arrived. She asked us beforehand what kind of coffee or cereal we liked so she could stock her kitchen before we got there. A couple days before we arrived, I noticed the weather forecast was calling for thunderstorms all weekend, so I asked her if she had any fun ideas of what we could do in Austin in the rain. She messaged me so many activities not just before we got there, but all weekend long, which we really appreciated! Her apartment was soo clean, and the king bed was extremely comfortable. 

Best part for us was the fact that the Barton Greek Greenbelt entrance is within walking distance of the apartment, so we could go hiking without driving anywhere. I'm sure we will be back again soon, and hopefully when it's a little sunnier outside :)

964847,49611750,2015-10-05,32803701,Richard,"Our experience was fantastic.  My girl and I went for a fun filled weekend at ACL for the weekend and didn't know what to expect.  Diana met us at the place at our convenience and showed us around.  The place was very clean, comfortable and cozy.  She was so nice, told us about restaurants nearby, attractions and even bought snacks for our stay.  I couldn't be more happy with our experience and would definitely stay again.  "
964847,51134566,2015-10-18,30989249,Silvia,"Diana's place is incredibly beautiful and comfortable. It is exactly as shown in the pictures, but the surroundings are also amazing.
Diana is a great host. When we arrived she made us feel at home. She was so caring that we felt like we were visiting a family member even before we arrived. She welcomed us with the food and drinks we prefer for breakfast and even some snacks. She also suggested us some places we could visit and activities we could do nearby. 
Our stay was so convenient in Diana's place that we are looking forward to staying here again on our next trip to Austin."
69303,238071,2011-04-24,515309,Traci,"Fun Colorful Place! I enjoyed communicating with Lois. The location was great -walk to Barton Springs & Zilker Park.  Bus stop on the corner. 2 miles and a $1 later & you are downtown.  There was an issue with the cable tv box but was recified promptly.  I would totally stay at any of Lois' places in the future and if you are reading this, I recommend you do as well.  My thanks to Lois, Stan and her beautiful neighbor Gary. We had a Great Stay!  "
69303,5558268,2013-07-06,5872434,Amanda,Lois and her condo near Zilker were great! Everything was exactly as pictured. The grill outside was very useful. It was great meeting Lois on the first night. She made sure everything was set and even gave us some local dining tips. The condo had everything we needed.
69303,9300861,2013-12-19,3895457,Michael,Awesome town house lots of color and life very Atx. Lois was great and extremely helpful will be dealing with her again most def. just minutes from zilker literally and Barton springs couldn't ask for a better location. 
69303,9579554,2014-01-02,10921201,Angela,"We had a great stay, the house is beautiful, comfortable and with personality! Lois was wonderful with us, giving us all the information and answering to all of our questions with very short notice. We had a great experience and we deeply recommend to other to stay here!
"
69303,10219662,2014-02-07,3269190,Rebecca,"Beautiful apartment and so close to Zilker / Barton Springs. I went running on the trails every day. The 2-block proximity to nature and the lake really made this work trip feel almost like vacation. Also, the grill on the patio works just great! Thank you Lois! "
69303,15975618,2014-07-19,17346505,Cedric,"This town home was exactly as described when 
booking.  A very pleasant experience with excellent 
amentities and a great location.  "
69303,20471882,2014-09-29,5336306,Braden,Had a wonderful time staying at Lois' place. Was exactly as advertised and a lovely place. Took all of 90 seconds to walk to the park and no more than 7-10 minutes to downtown. Highly recommended.
69303,22656564,2014-11-11,3674792,Camila,"Lois's place is simply amazing. Great decorations, very, very comfortable, extremely clean and tidy. Well equiped kitchen and they even have a barbecue grill. I highly recommend this place for anyone visiting Austin. Lois was a perfect host, making sure we had everything we needed. If you ever stay there, don't forget to feed the fish. "
69303,23322181,2014-11-29,10713862,Jack,I rented this place out for my folks who came and stayed for 2 weeks during the fall season and they were over the moon with everything here. Lois has everything ready and is the perfect host. The place is very Austin and is close to good restaurants and town. I highly recommend this place and next time any of my friends/family come to Austin i will be recommending they stay here. 
69303,29178501,2015-04-05,4210207,Mandy,"Since I had never been to Austin before, I was not sure of a good location for our stay. This turned out to be perfect!  Lois's place is a couple of blocks from miles of green belt trail. The back entrance to Barton Springs pool is just off this trail and a walk north brings you to kayak rentals, great food trucks and restaurants. Uber rides took us any distances we wanted to go when our feet wore out. It was inexpensive and efficient   

The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. The fun furniture and artwork AND the fish tank in the toilet tank were charming. 

Lois called shortly after we arrived and met up with us the next day to make sure all was well. She offered any advice we might have needed on getting around or places to go. 

I recommend this rental. "
69303,30497802,2015-04-23,2945083,Pam,"Lois was an awesome host!  She replied very promptly to our questions and she was friendly and welcoming! The house is decorated in the Austin, creative style.  King bed was very comfortable.  Fridge was stocked with: butter, jelly, balsamic vinegar, hot sauce, etc.  Coffee/filters, tea, sugar, creamer and cocoa were provided and kitchen had all of the cooking/utensil necessities.  The best part in staying there was the convenient access to Barton Springs, Zilker, Greenbelt, and numerous hiking/biking trails.  It is a 5 min. walk to the pool and some trails.  You can also walk to numerous eateries, food trucks and bike rentals on Barton Springs Rd.  Neighborhood was very quiet and we always had a restful sleep!  Thanks Lois for the comfortable ""home away from home""!"
8690879,50395706,2015-10-11,45863178,Joel,This was our first time using AirBnb.  Could not have asked for a better experience.  Jon was easy to reach and very accommodating.   The apartment was very nice and cozy.  The complex is amazing with multiple amenities and easy access to other parts of the city.   We enjoyed our stay immensely.
8690879,50574220,2015-10-12,36062676,Alex,"Jon did a great job of making us feel welcome. His apartment is very cool and the complex itself is gated and really beautiful. Everything was clean and organized when we arrived and we had no problems during our stay. If we come back to Austin, we will definitely be looking to book Jon's place again. Thanks, Jon!"
8690879,52257335,2015-10-27,7660142,Sam,"Jon was a wonderful host. He met my friend and I right when we got there and showed us around the apartment complex (which is awesome). The apartment was very clean and everything as described. Jon also went the extra mile to pick up a gift that my girlfriend had sent for us, and also was very helpful with recommendations about what to do, where to eat, etc. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Austin!  "
8690879,52943009,2015-11-02,47713045,Noel,"Jon was a great host and responds to inquires very promptly. He greeted us as soon as we got to the location, walked us to the apartment and gave us some ideas of where to go. The apartment is exactly as shown and was very tidy. "
3983003,28074957,2015-03-17,368,Becky,"House was a quiet respite from the craziness of downtown Austin during SXSW. Clean and cozy—plus we were provided a nice snack and welcome box upon arrival!

Area was pretty residential, and there were a few great coffee shops a short walk away. But, the real gem was sitting on the porch swing in the morning watching the bluejays and grackles in the morning. "
8521541,48832081,2015-09-28,4929034,Kimberley,I honestly couldn't have asked for a better host. Handsom is super friendly and very chill. Even though she was busy while we was there she still gave us plenty of good ideas of things to do there. And being super close to a freeway makes this place readily accessible. 
8521541,49837402,2015-10-06,12231109,Christina,"Handsom did not stay at her place while I was there, but she was around and made me feel very welcome.  She left coffee and bagels and asked numerous times if there was anything I needed. She also left me a little welcome note with her number on it. Her room was as described and the house, while I shared with two other girls, was plenty big enough for three. It was located right next to the hotel I attended a convention at, so it was extremely convenient for me. "
8521541,50408726,2015-10-11,34828619,Feng,"The bed is a little bit small for two people. But overall it is a good place to stay. Also, it is a good deal in Austin. Location is also good and convenient."
8521541,50783275,2015-10-14,43672809,Claire,"Handsome's place was great! Cozy, quiet, and very clean - it was the perfect place to come back to after a long day. She was very hospitable and available if need be, although we did not interact much except for the beginning of my stay. Would definitely recommend to others and request to book this location again. Helped make my first trip to Austin a welcoming one. "
8521541,52756921,2015-11-01,46175400,Doug,"Wonderful experience. Great location, and a very welcoming host. Highly recommend. "

1541287,7681720,2013-09-29,8856920,Charles,"We had an awesome time at the Music House. Liz and Ben are considerate/thoughtful/cool hosts! The accommodations were top notch with all the comforts of home--except with a kick ass record selection that we could only dream of. Staying at the music house makes life easy for families traveling with young kids with lots of kid-friendly features like a park across the street, lots of DVD entertainment, and a great backyard. Location is great, convenient to lots of great food and sights. Feel free to book your stay with Liz and Ben and have a great time in Austin!"
1541287,7910172,2013-10-07,8913974,Amanda,We can not say enough good things about the Music House. From start to finish Liz and Ben were great hosts and went out of the way for us.Check in and check out were easy.  Everyone loved the house and could not get over how perfect it was for us. The accommodations were great and we loved the entertainment selection. It was a quick drive to all the best spots in Austin. It overall truly captures the overall Austin vibe and we can not wait to come stay there again. 
1541287,8121676,2013-10-16,2317907,Emilio,"Ben and Liz were wonderful hosts. They provided everything we needed and then some. I only wish they had stayed in town for us to hang out with them! The Music House lives up to it's name; an entire library of vinyls and CDs over an awesome in house system. Comfortable sleeping arrangements. Lot's of room and space. A nice modern kitchen and an accessible area really made this place the perfect hideout. 

Fell in love with Austin and the Music House. 

Thanks Ben and Liz!"
1541287,8412922,2013-10-29,1815141,Scott,"Liz and Ben are the perfect hosts when staying in Austin. Best neighborhood, great activities within a short walk, and the house was just perfect for us. We loved everything from the comfortable bedrooms, the brand new bath/soaps/towels, down to the LPs (huge bonus and great vinyl collection for hanging in the living room, making you feel right at home). There's a guest binder filled with everything from wifi connection directions to restaurant menus, to maps on how to walk to Barton Springs pool and Zilker Park. You will really enjoy meeting your hosts. Can't encourage you enough to take advantage of this house, it's backyard and the best hospitality in Austin. If you want to visit and feel like you ""live"" in Austin with everything supplied in a stay-ready home, this is the place."
1541287,8707223,2013-11-12,9794725,Steven,"This place rocks, literally!   We stayed here for a random weekend away from San Diego and had an amazing time. The location is perfect for a quiet alternative to the downtown scene. Easy and safe walking distance to great food,music and outdoors and a cheap cab ride everywhere else. Liz and Ben were gracious and generous hosts and made our stay extra special with great advice on where to eat and rock out. The music collection is truly amazing and really adds to the experience.   Thanks again for everything, we hope to be back soon!"
1541287,9001887,2013-12-01,6549624,Brenda,"Liz and Ben were great hosts.  We enjoyed staying in ""The Music House"" for the Thanksgiving weekend.  The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen fully equipped, everything was very clean.  There was an extensive collection of vinyl record albums that really intrigued our 18-year-old daughter.  She and a friend listened to several of the the albums that were available. Thought it was very cool.  The location was perfect.  I enjoy walking and was able to get some good exercise in every morning.  The Barton Creek greenbelt (beautiful!!!) just about 10 minutes away.  A great find for our Austin visit with our UT student!"
1541287,9138375,2013-12-09,8315562,Kristin,"The pictures don't do this very cozy home justice. The place is a bit bigger than the pictures indicate. There's a nice back yard sitting area and a front porch, which the pictures don't show. I worried as we pulled into Austin during a cold, wet snap--would the house be a warm, comfortable place to spend more indoor hours than we'd anticipated? In short, it was. It was a relaxing space with lovely hosts, plenty of hosting (information, local soap, all the touches that make traveling fun), and some space for being outdoors nearby. "
1541287,9610797,2014-01-03,6884366,Audrey,"Came to visit Austin for 6 nights & stayed at the Music House. Had everything we needed! Some notable things I remember: Plenty of clean towels, comfy beds, nice big table to play board games, great record player & speakers, and great coffee! 

The hosts were attentive & despite their vacation & checked in to make sure we were enjoying our stay. 

Lastly, just wanted to say the location was perfect for us. We walked every morning in green belt, we got downtown quickly and easily, quiet neighborhood, visited zilker, great restaurants ...it was very Easy to get everywhere!"
1541287,9940154,2014-01-20,9946901,Nicholas,"Liz and Ben are great hosts with a great home. My Family and I stayed in their ""Music House"" while house while shopping in the area for a week. The house is a detached single family house with its own address, driveway etc. It is very private and has an open and comfortable lay out. Finally it is centrally located to all the best South Austin has to offer (Try the stuffed doughnuts at Gourdough's) I have a 2.5 year old and the park across the street was great as well as the giant trampoline in the back yard. The neighborhood is quite and safe as well. Finally they have an excellent music. movie and coffee selection. I would definitely stay there again next time I am in Austin.  "
1541287,10044188,2014-01-27,8325761,Melanie,"We had a wonderful stay at The Music House. We loved the location and easy access to Austin attractions. Liz and Ben were very accommodating and friendly.

1541287,11220165,2014-03-25,2436483,Zoë,"Liz and Ben are wonderful hosts with a very charming home.  I spent five nights in the Music House along with four other friends and we were incredibly comfortable.  There are numerous places to sleep, a large, well-stocked kitchen (great coffee!), and an endless supply of clean towels! The house boasts an amazing record and CD collection which we thoroughly enjoyed listening to while spending some downtime at the house.  There is also a lovely back yard.  The location is great - it was a quick drive from the house to almost every place we went. Liz and Ben were friendly, accommodating and super easy to get in touch with.  I would definitely stay here again the next time I visit Austin!"
1541287,11362643,2014-03-31,12809619,Kimberlee,"The Kwellers were great! They provided suggestions about what we should do and hung out with us for a little bit. They seem very chill.  Also it was like they weren't even near us for parts of the trip if you do like your privacy.  I went with a bunch of girls celebrating for a bachelorette party and had such a fun time. The space they have available is awesome with plenty of sleeping room. Great record selection... Trampoline... Awesome outdoor space in the backyard and in the front yard. And they provided quick email responses to questions. Needless to say, I highly recommend staying here!"

Also, their music collection (vinyl and CDs) is HUGE."
1541287,12346704,2014-04-29,4461805,Jimmy,"Great house. Great location. Great hosts! The Music House is the perfect space to unwind and serves as a base for exploring Austin, especially South Austin. Liz and Ben have a clean, secure, comfortable, relaxing house.  The music collection is sure to evoke old memories and encourage new discoveries. Ben and Liz are accommodating and responsive while leaving you to do your own thing!  We will go back and you should too!!!"
1541287,12687384,2014-05-08,6442765,Jana,"Liz and Ben were wonderful hosts, easy-going and available if we needed anything. They responded to emails immediately and welcomed us warmly, and offered really good suggestions for things to do and places to eat. The house was perfect for our family group and the location was lovely. The kids really enjoyed the playground just across the street and we all loved going to Maria's for breakfast tacos, just down the road. The laundromat was handy and getting around from this location was very convenient. The house was clean, fresh and well equipped. "

Our visit to Austin was great and was made so in part by this  Zilker Park home and its gracious hosts."
1541287,14199634,2014-06-14,16004735,Sean,"A great Airbnb experience.  The house was perfect for us (wife and I and two kids).  We really enjoyed the location and the amenities.  The music house is awesome!  We loved the stereo and phonograph, with an impressive collection of vinyl and CDs.  There is a tuned piano for those who like to play.  Liz and Ben have thought of everything, and the manual was very helpful.  Thank you for a wonderful stay!  "
1541287,16531946,2014-07-28,18825166,Matt,"Ben & Liz could not have been more accommodating! This was my first airbnb experience and B&L made it easy. They were even able to accommodate my same day check in request after I had other plans fall though. The house was clean and very comfortable. Plenty of clean linens and towels. The location was great -- it wasn't far to anything -- and their recommendations in the area were great choices. The music collection was incredible... it's easy to see why it's ""The Music House."" Great space in the front and back yard to enjoy the outdoors too. I can't recommend the house and Ben & Liz highly enough!... you love the house, the area, and the hosts."
1541287,18908688,2014-09-02,20120112,Patrick,"Liz and Ben's music house was exactly what we wanted: well located, plenty of space for the kids, and clean and safe.  We will definitely be looking for the Music House next time we are in Austin. "

We had 6 girls staying in the house, and we were all very comfortable.  We saw Ben a few times throughout the weekend and he was always super nice and helpful.  We even met the kids.  :)  The neighborhood is fantastic, just a few minutes from downtown (about a $10 cab ride).  The only real surprise was that the house is directly across the street from a school.  We weren't bothered at all by that, but be aware that there is a lot of early morning and late afternoon traffic.  Overall a fantastic experience!  I would definitely recommend Liz and Ben's Music House."
1541287,20109348,2014-09-23,20902733,Miles,"Liz and Ben are great! They really make you feel welcome and are extremely helpful about recommending fun things to do while in town. The house is amazing and in a beautiful neighborhood. There is a great record collection in the house that you can use which is a nice perk. It was exactly as listed. If you have the chance you should try and stay here; great house, great people, wonderful stay!"
1541287,20891873,2014-10-07,14612551,Terry,"Fantastic little house and perfect for my first trip to Austin and the ACL Festival.  Our hosts, although were out of town, made us feel very welcome and accommodative.  Everything was great and I would definitely stay here again."

1541287,22692467,2014-11-12,7992699,Anne Marie,"Liz & Ben made sure we knew how to access the house once we arrived.  They knew our approximate time of arrival and planned to stop in when we arrived, but our flight was delayed several hours.  Liz kept in contact with me throughout our trip to make sure we were comfortable and didn't have any concerns about the property or accommodations provided to us.  She also suggested some great restaurants in the area, and had a guide in the house suggesting more restaurants and things to do.  Ben stopped by to check on us one afternoon/evening and was very friendly.

The house itself is perfectly welcoming.  We felt at home right away.  It had an open layout with plenty of seating for the 5 of us as well as comfortable beds, extra blankets and pillows for some of the colder nights we had.  There is a trampoline in the back yard, great little patios in both the front and the back of the house and an off-street parking spot.  Our favorite thing about this house was the huge music collection they made available to us, both vinyls and CDs.  

We had a wonderful time at Ben & Liz's house.  It was close enough to what we wanted to see, but in a quiet neighborhood and very comfortable."
1541287,22942188,2014-11-18,5126748,Mikael,"We very much enjoyed our stay at this place.  Liz and Ben were very helpful and friendly folks with whom we had nice chats.
The house was very clean and the beds were very comfortable with lovely down comforters. The location close to Zilker Park and Barton springs is amazing.
Given the large record and CD collection we had a couple of fun dance evenings at home. We loved their large pecan tree and since  Liz and Ben offered us to take as much as we wanted, we turned our harvest into a pie after our return.
We would love to come back!"
1541287,23358060,2014-11-30,4461805,Jimmy,Our second time in the Music House!  Great quiet location and as this visit was over Thanksgiving the space for family meals was awesome. Slept 6 comfortably. Easy communication from flexible and responsive hosts.
1541287,24404589,2014-12-28,2781580,Susan,"Huset var precis som vi förväntade oss, det var väldigt väl i ordning, rent och bra sängar, vardagsrum och utrustning i köket."
1541287,25357794,2015-01-13,23122592,Grant,"The Music House was a great fit for our trip, and helped make our stay in Austin comfortable and most enjoyable. Ben and Liz were very accommodating of special requests, and were fantastic hosts. I will likely choose the Music House for my next stay in Austin! Thanks Liz and Ben! "
1541287,26744801,2015-02-18,25542228,Andrej,"We loved staying at the Music house! Liz and Ben were very friendly and welcoming, and quickly answered every request - even brought us fresh coffee beans! We loved the house and the yard, and our kids really enjoyed jumping on the trampoline and playing with their kids, who are very nice. The house had everything you could ask for plus a great selection of music and artsy decorations. We would highly recommend this place for both people with and without kids."
1541287,27505829,2015-03-06,25032959,Pk,"Ben greeted us when we arrived.  He welcomed us with great enthusiasm and gave us a tour of the place.  His greeting made us excited to be in Austin.  The house is just as the photos depicted.  The neighborhood is vibrant and growing.  The house near a school so it is safe, quiet, and very appealing to those traveling with children.  It is close to local restaurants and coffee shops.  The architecture in the neighborhood is a highlight of the area."
1541287,28393262,2015-03-23,20851868,Erika,Vi kände oss välkomna och det lilla huset var rent och fint utrustat. En skön uteplats i trädgården. 
1541287,30210540,2015-04-19,28891511,Jennifer,Such a great house and hosts.  Will definitely be calling this my home away from home for years to come!
1541287,30475532,2015-04-22,10406612,Kate,"The Music House was wonderful and I highly recommend it. It is a good sized house in a part of town that provides excellent access to Zilker Park, Barton Springs and the restaurants and attractions of South Lamar and South Congress. The bedrooms are separated by a bathroom so you're not on top of each other. The music selection was excellent and we enjoyed listening to some Motown while getting ready for a night on the town."
1541287,30789185,2015-04-27,29731800,Ellen,"The house was charming and spotless.  Neighborhood was perfect and centrally located.  There is a trampoline in the backyard and a school playground across the street which our grandchildren enjoyed.
The house was stocked with everything we needed, even plenty of DVDs for the young ones.  We also enjoyed the vast collections of CDs.
This was a perfect house for a small group."
1541287,31530771,2015-05-06,8109631,Laura,"Exactly as described and more. This place was perfect for my husband, toddler and me but it would also be great for a larger family or group. Very pleasant and great neighborhood. Ben was very responsive and helpful. 

The place was clean and very cool (in decor but also temp if desired!). Lots of movies (especially kids) and music galore. Coffee was great and a huge tea selection. It was nice to have some basic spices and other little items if you want to cook. We felt like we had a unique stay - which is what I think Airbnb is all about!

Totally family friendly -local playgrounds, the park and lots of places to eat. "
1541287,49140239,2015-10-01,43159927,Katrine,We were very happy with our stay 
1541287,50424164,2015-10-12,5011200,Rachael,"The house is perfect with an amazing music collection. The neighborhood is lovely and so well located for Zilker Park and to explore all of Austin. Our wonderful hosts were easy to contact and very helpful, providing a big book of information in the house. We had a great stay over ACL and would thoroughly recommend this house for a stay in Austin."

P.S. 
Their little girl she is very chatty, she has plenty to say so be ready for some stimulating conversation. 

Overall it was great and I would definitely stay again,  thank you guys!"

5806636,33592572,2015-05-30,11425687,Dustin,The Chelsea cottage is a very nice space in Travis Heights.   Everything was as advertised by Jay.  Nice large king size beds which were very comfortable.  Nice kitchen with enough items to be able to cook easily.   The internet was fast and always reliable.  I also liked the 1 covered parking spot.  Great  location to all of Austins nice amenities including hike/bike trail and all the best restaurants downtown and on South Congress.  Jay was always accessible by phone/text and responded quickly to any of our needs.   This is a great place for anyone to stay while visiting Austin.  
5806636,40000700,2015-07-27,38085463,Sara,Rachel was extremely accommodating. She let us check-in early and was always there if we needed anything. This was definitely one of the best airbnb experiences. 5 stars on customer services!
5806636,43554018,2015-08-20,40013938,Chris,"The house was brilliant. It's in the perfect location and close to everything. Excellent equipment, BBQ, TV, wifi, cooking utensils and some of the largest and comfiest beds I've ever slept in. Highly recommended! "
702825,3400312,2013-01-23,4168467,Edward,"We had a longer-term stay at Larry's place.
Larry is a great guy, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. His house is pleasant, spacious, comfortable, and centrally located.  I highly recommend him!"
702825,3780244,2013-03-14,2102026,Lorena,"Larrys home was spacious and beautiful, with an awesome backyard. He left us great information about how to get around and where to go, including Torchy's Tacos where we ate almost every day!  Its in a great neighborhood with easy access to downtown, south congress and public transportation. Thanks Larry! we had a great time! 

"
702825,4379954,2013-05-01,4591113,Alex,"We had a lovely stay at Larry's house. Communication was excellent from the get-go. Larry went above and beyond to accomodate us (and our puppy), even going so far as to give recommendations for dining spots, dog parks AND putting me in touch with a graduate of the UT program I am in town to visit. A real stand-up guy.

As for the house, the fully-fenced backyard was perfect for our pup to run around in, the WiFi worked perfectly, kitchen and grill was great for cooking meals at home, and we found the location (right around the corner from Torchy's) to be very convenient for last minute queso, guacamole and salsa runs.

We were just two people, plus a dog, but the layout of the bedrooms on opposite ends of the house would make it very comfortable for two couples or a family to stay together, and still feel like they had privacy.

Overall, much recommended."
702825,5605942,2013-07-08,6531262,Joseph,"A very nice, modern, and spacious home located within a quick, convenient drive of anywhere you'd need to get to in Austin. Perfect for families or groups of friends that want more space than the cramped quarters of a hotel room or tiny apartment. Larry's a great host and is quick to offer tons of great tips for things to do and places to eat at in Austin. Warning: By staying here, you may overload on the insanely delicious Torchy's Tacos located around the corner :-)"
702825,6078576,2013-07-29,1972287,Trish & Isaac,"Larry was a fabulous host. He left lots of good note about the house as well as places to (website hidden) dogs were with me during our stay. They enjoyed the yard, big windows and Larry left lots of great information for places i could take them to play.  
I rented the house to stay at with my parents in preparation for my wedding weekend. It was the perfect place to relax during a pretty busy time! The home is super spacious, the layout is fantastic, allows you to find privacy when you need it, and enough room in the kitchen for everyone to come together. 
The art and furnishings are lovely and the entire vibe of the home is zen. 
Larry was so accommodating with check in and out as he knew we had a lot going on. We really appreciated him, he truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good stay. 
I had fresh flowers delivered to the house for the wedding, and when they came early (2 days before our check in) he opened them for me and placed them in water so they wouldn't wilt. 

As I said, he was a fabulous host! I highly recommend his home, great for families, couples, or a relaxing solo retreat! Amazing Location, close to all the good restaurants and downtown! 
"
702825,7004793,2013-09-03,3267828,Erika,"what a wonderful home and host! the place was described exactly as it is - beautifully renovated with all the amenities of home, plenty of space for 2 couples, and great books and art. the location could not be better and even in 104 degree heat, we enjoyed the deck mornings and evenings. larry met us with keys, maps and helpful hints as soon as we arrived for an easy check-in. we will definitely return to larry's home whenever we come back to austin!"
702825,7914653,2013-10-08,7519230,Aimee,"Larry was super easy to work with and communicate with, from reservations to our arrival and departure.  His house definitely had that Austin charm and we would recommend others to stay there!"
702825,8111867,2013-10-16,8011722,Jessie,"My husband and I rented Larry's home along with our 4 close friends for a week this month, and we truly enjoyed our stay!  The home is super comfy and well laid out.  Even though the temps were spiking 80 degrees plus, the home stayed nice and cool with it's open floor plan, largely concrete construction and plenty of ceiling fans.  

As a host, Larry was exceptionally gracious.  He was prompt in correspondences and very flexible and reasonable with small details.  Thorough (and humorous!) notes with lots of good info were laid out front and center for us upon arrival, and best of all, cold, locally made beers were waiting for us in the fridge!  Torchy's Tacos around the corner were a BIG hit with our crew, and became a immediate favorite.

I would recommend this rental to anyone seeking a great time in Austin!  $10 cab ride to downtown.  Great 'hood.  Loved it!  MUCHOS GRACIAS LARRY!"
702825,8430281,2013-10-30,8497308,Faeron,"My friends and I stayed 6 days for the Ironman 70.3 triathlon and Larry was a great host! The house is big and modern, comfortable couches and a big tv for hanging out, all the kitchen equipment you could need.  It was easy to get to downtown and 6th street and a only a moderate walk to the cute SoCo shops.  Close to the grocery store and CVS and more importantly, delicious Torchy's Tacos.  Larry left a great visitors guide for us too which we took advantage of.  All and all, perfect if you're looking for a convenient place to make a home base while you're in Austin."
702825,8811379,2013-11-19,65871,Peter,"Great house, great location, beautiful watercolors!  Comfortable beds, clean, well appointed kitchen and furnishings.  Would stay there again, happily."
702825,9016881,2013-12-02,2763296,Michael,"Overall I would highly recommend Larry and this place.

The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of bed space and the kitchen was great. The stay was very relaxed and comfortable.

The location was very convenient, within a short drive from the airport, south congress and downtown. Lots of great food nearby, I personally recommend Torchy's, some of the best tacos I've had. Make sure to get the queso and chips.

Larry was a great host, very friendly and easy to work with. Plus he had some awesome recommendations for food."
702825,9640281,2014-01-04,6076035,Monica,"Larry's place was modern, yet his personal style and touches gave a homey charm to it. We stayed there with another couple, and the layout was perfect with the Master set away from the two additional bedrooms...plenty of privacy. The house location was perfect and close to pretty much everything you'd want to see in town. I don't think it took us more than 10 minutes to get everywhere we went. 

Larry was great about getting us settled and making sure everything was ready for us when we arrived. He even mailed us a house key ahead of time due to his traveling schedule. He checked in with us via email and answered all of our questions right away. His information sheets about the house and things to do in Austin were thorough and helped make our trip fun and easy. We can vouch for many of his restaurant suggestions! 

All in all, Larry's place was a major reason we enjoyed Austin so much. We felt like we got a true taste of the City and what it would feel like to live there. We're already talking about how much we miss Larry's place. We'd definitely stay there again."
702825,9952397,2014-01-21,58670,Chris,"My family and I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Larry's modern home in South Austin for a long weekend. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from downtown and walking distance (or a really short drive) to all the quirky shops and restaurants on South First and South Congress Streets.

One thing we particularly appreciated was the amazing kitchen with the awesome range top and counter spaces for pre-dinner drinks or full meals when we weren't eating out. It's a comfortable space with plenty of chairs and stools for everyone.

Larry's communication is excellent, with direct contact before during and after our stay, and a very thorough and helpful guidebook for the house and the local attractions.

I would recommend Larry's house to any medium to large party looking for a comfortable place to stay while checking out one of America's finest cities!"
702825,10417130,2014-02-18,4056470,Jen,"We came to Austin for a girls weekend and chose Larry's place because of it's space, style, and fantastic proximity to delicious food! Larry was an incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to provide advice and recommendations and help us prepare for our trip (side note: he's right, DEFINITELY go to Olivia restaurant!). When we arrived we were greeted by a beautiful, bright, clean home as well as a welcome note, some snacks and a six-pack of beer! Larry was very flexible with our schedule and checking in and out was a breeze. Our group had 7 people so I slept on the couch which worked out surprisingly well! It is tucked away in a little nook and is comfortable with fairly firm cushions. All of the girls mentioned how great the Airbnb experience was (t'was a first for most of them); this booking definitely recruited 6 new users! I cannot say enough good things about Larry and I would confidently recommend him as a host!"
702825,10917255,2014-03-13,1179593,Katharina,"Larry is an absolutely fabulous host and I'm hoping to stay at his lovely house in Austin again! (Hoping for better weather though ;-)
Great and very helpful communication long before we boarded our flight and a well stocked fridge really made us feel welcome! Thanks, Larry!"
702825,11004935,2014-03-17,3894081,Brett,"This is our second time staying at Larry's and it only gets better! The layout is nice and open and very unique. We had such a great time and looking forward to returning again! We missed the company of Larry, but hopefully next time we will be able to catch up!

Thanks Larry!"
702825,11088434,2014-03-20,3792169,Lee,"We had an excellent stay at Larry's fabulous Austin home and only wished it had been longer. We even resisted the sirens of local fare one evening to stay at the house, grill, and enjoy the lovely yard. Larry made everything very navigable and low-key, and he provided some excellent local recommendations (including our favorite, the ""overrated"" list, ha). The house was around the corner from great tacos, in walking distance to a ton of other things, and also very accessible to downtown (we did have a car). I hope to return!"
702825,11240065,2014-03-26,150692,Amanda,"Loved this house - open and airy but with plenty of private spaces for our group of 6. Larry was the perfect host and gave us candid and spot-on advice about restaurants and things to do in the city. We couldn't have asked for a better house/neighborhood, host or stay in Austin. And although we were ALL OVER the the city during our 4-day stay (mostly via B-cycle - do it) , I'd stay at Larry's again just to be so close to Torchy's (not an exaggeration). "
702825,11798907,2014-04-15,5991352,Jared,Really enjoyed Larry's house. Very comfortable open layout. Would definitely book again.
702825,13134712,2014-05-20,12835560,Karen,"Larry is an excellent host and communicator. Although we were unable to meet him in person, he invited us to have some cold beer from the fridge when we arrived, and made the contents of the fridge available to us. In addition to the notes about local attractions that he has online, he left us a detailed sheet with descriptions of good eateries and nearby attractions with helpful info on how best to see them. The home is definitely dog-friendly. Larry had a blanket on one couch so the dog could relax there. He was flexible and made accommodations for our arrival and departure times. Larry comes from an artistic family and we enjoyed the many watercolors adorning the walls. Larry was very good about communication and he was easy-going. Our kids (30 somethings) loved the place and its quintessential “Austin”ness. They were able to walk to nearby cafes and night spots for food trucks and music. This was a great location. "
702825,13605562,2014-06-01,2024108,Victoria,"Larry was a great host! He had solid suggestions and recommendations for dining, drinking and fun in Austin. 

The house is modern yet has a lot of character. It's perfectly location in Travis Heights is great to go out downtown, the east side, south congress, etc. 

We had an awesome stay at Larry's house and we would gladly stay there again. In fact - we may sooner than later! 

Thanks, Larry for the wonderful stay and for being such a gracious host!

"
702825,16392303,2014-07-27,12864589,Marta,"Larry was an extremely welcoming host - prior to our arrival, he compiled an Austin guide covering the best restaurants, outdoor spots, places within walking distance... and - something we very much appreciated! - what we could skip. Larry's recommendations definitely came through, and we really enjoyed exploring Austin.

As for the house, it was lovely! So comfortable, spacious - felt like an oasis. We had a wonderful time, and could not have asked for a more responsive and thoughtful host. Thank you, Larry!"
702825,20924467,2014-10-07,416958,Sabryna,"Larry's home was just what we were looking for! The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The lovely modern home was better than decribed! I don't think you can realize what a great place this is until you actually stay here. I loved the open floorplan and the many lounging/visiting nooks around the home. The doors in every room at the back of the house let fresh air in and I just loved hearingthe birds outside wherever I went. Our pups enjoyed the grassy backyard, while we enjoyed the large wooden deck as we drank our morning coffee. We had all we needed as far as towels and cooking utensils. Larry also makes himself available at the drop of a hat in case your party has any issues. It was nice having the master seperate from the other rooms because you don't always get that extra privacy when rooming with others. This floorplan however, worked out perfectly! My husbands only complaint was that Larry wouldn't let us move in. Thanks for helping make our geetaway simply perfect!"
702825,21279104,2014-10-14,2938649,Danielle,"Larry is a great host. It was our first time in Austin, and he made us feel welcome at his house. We couldn't have asked for a better location (best tacos just around the corner) and close to great shops on South Congress. The house is spacious and is exactly what is described. Our crew really loved staying here during ACL weekend. "
702825,21601901,2014-10-20,21449477,Maria,"Larry made us feel very welcome! Everything was as described. Larry's book collection is second to none. Enjoyed reading a few of the books. Fast internet connection. The neighborhood was very nice and within a couple minute drive of SoCo. Easy access to all major roads. Had no issues whatsoever. Would highly recommend. 
"
702825,21958955,2014-10-27,21409365,Joey,Great location and accommodations!  Lots of great restaurants in the neighborhood.  
702825,22363952,2014-11-04,6689630,Patrick,"Larry was an outstanding host from the very first email. Communication to arrange a few details with Larry was easy and friendly. Working through logistics and details like the key transfer was a pleasant experience. 

The house was perfect for our group of four--nice open floor plan, clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and great location. The photos of the house were accurate, although we never saw it looking that bright as we were out of the house during most of the daytime. 

Overall the experience could be described as a weekend stay at a close but not best friend's house. It was clearly prepared for guests all the way down to the small things like a note about typical shower handle position for a comfortable temperature. But it also felt lived-in with hints like coats on the coat rack. "
702825,22730691,2014-11-13,4327392,Heather,"My family and I stayed in Larry's House while in town for a friends wedding. The house was the perfect size for us ( 5 people in 3 bedrooms) and the location was AMAZING. We were so close to everything! Larry was great with communication and was there to greet us when we arrived. His house has a lot of great character and we enjoyed being there.  

A few notes of constructive criticism: There was mention in his house notes that the water was a little difficult to control in one of the bathrooms. No matter how hard we tried we couldn't find any tricks that kept it from switching between burning hot & freezing cold. We all ended up showering in the master bathroom, instead. Also, the house was by no means dirty - but, I do think a deep clean could be in order. We had clean towels, linens, and everything was tidy - but it just could use a little attention to detail (floorboards, dog hair, that kind of thing)

All in all, we would stay here again. The location is seriously unbeatable, and it was a very comfortable place to be. We also fell in love with the handmade pottery around the house, which turns out to be from made by Larry's dad. Lots of other great art & love in this house. "
702825,23495193,2014-12-02,1113184,Arpan,"This is the first place I've stayed at using AirBNB.  Take this review with the appropriate grain of salt.  

This South Austin bungalow is a $12 uber from downtown.  It was a modern and spacious space with plenty of room for 5 adults and 1 toddler.  The house was clean.  Care was taken to ensure the place felt lived in without being *lived in*.  The house sported an open floorplan and enlightened me on the versatility and elegance of ikea fixtures.  

Larry was a good host.  In particular, he was responsive to inquiries we posed during our stay.  

I would highly recommend.   "
702825,24370089,2014-12-27,17525203,Jenna,"Beautiful home with a great open concept! A major plus is the property is dog friendly- stained concrete floors and fenced backyard. Larry made us feel so welcome! We stayed here over Christmas and it could not have been more perfect. The kitchen had all necessary amenities to cook our holiday meals. Larry was quick to respond and very accommodating. 

I highly recommend staying here and I hope we get to again! "
702825,24755631,2015-01-02,3274020,Alec,"Larry's house was great! It was clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities we needed. In particular, the beds were great and everyone got a good night's sleep out of them. I left my dog at home, but it also seemed like it would be a great place to bring a dog. The backyard was spacious and well kept.

The location was also wonderful. It's close to the fun stores and attractions on South Congress and is near major thoroughfares to get to downtown or North Austin.

Finally, Larry was a great host. We came shortly after Christmas and Larry wasn't going to be at the house, but he was very accommodating and mailed the key to us before our travels. In sum, I would definitely stay at the house again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
"
702825,25658058,2015-01-22,24587748,James,"Larry was very welcoming, helpful and accommodating.
The house is large with an open floor plan in a decent neighborhood close to downtown and very close to hot South Congress area. There are also good restos on first street just around the corner."
702825,26683082,2015-02-17,2065366,Carey,"Larry was an excellent host.  Communicating with him was so easy - he is friendly and very helpful.  He sent me a ton of information about the area, and also left a very through run down of places to eat and things to do while in Austin.  
We spent the weekend at his home with two other couples and one baby.  The home was perfect, we felt like we had enough room to have our own areas, and not feel like we were on top of each other. We were all very comfortable and have absolutely no complaints about the space.  

The location was very good - we were able to explore food and drinks close by - walking distance to coffee and amazing tacos, and a short drive to many other restaurants and shops.  It was a quick ride into the downtown for a night out.  Access to and from the airport was great - there was terrible traffic the whole weekend we were in Austin, but it didn't seem to affect us in that area.  

Larry was a very thoughtful host and the home was clean and a great place to stay for a fun trip to Austin, would love to stay here again next time I am in town. "
702825,27069022,2015-02-24,18667440,Avishai,"Great apartment, really spacious, very clean and a great backdoor patio for relaxing in the late afternoon. Larry was an excellent host, gave great Austin recommendations and was very responsive when I had a few small questions during my stay. The location was perfect, we were a quick drive to wherever we wanted to go and walking distance to Torchy's Tacos, which were amazing. 

Thanks Larry for helping make my Austin stay really great!"
702825,28157627,2015-03-19,955590,Luca,"We stayed at Larry's place during SXSW and it's been the best choice we could have made. Great house, spacious, clean, comfortable and well designed at the same time. And only minutes away from downtown. 
Highly recommended. 

"
702825,28460924,2015-03-24,23536947,Parmita,"Larry was a great host! I felt like I really knew what to expect upon arrival; and it was all incredibly welcoming. The house is beautiful, we loved hanging out with the doors open and enjoying the fabulous weather. Neighborhood was really walkable and accessible to all our activities - the bus line to downtown was super convenient."
702825,28941025,2015-04-01,1846656,Samantha,"Larry was such a kind and gracious host. All communication before, during and after the trip was a pleasure. Also, we had a small issue with house cleaning upon our arrival and Larry was quick to refund us the house cleaning fee. Also, because he was out of town and not able to greet us and leave flowers, he also credited us for these sundries. The house is located very close to some great tacos (Torchy's) and walking distance to an Amy's Ice Cream. Beyond that it's only a few minutes drive to downtown and very easy to navigate to and from. "
702825,29911255,2015-04-14,26974605,William,Really enjoyed our stay over the Motogp weekend.  Nice place and a good location.  Nice coffee just a short walk away.
702825,30283578,2015-04-20,21486608,Megan,"Larry really made us feel at home in Austin. He left us some eggs, coffee, and beer to enjoy. We loved all the art in his place, and the casual atmosphere. "
702825,30859085,2015-04-28,10284508,Storie,"Larry was helpful all along the way, making sure there weren't any awkward adjustments to our settling in.  The accommodations were thoughtfully furnished and supplied.  Neighborhood is rapidly  gentrifying, showing recognition that it is convenient to Austin's core of trendy happenings."
702825,31455915,2015-05-05,25617260,Keith,"Larry is a very cool guy.  He was responsive and easy going and we felt right at home. He had some refreshments and snacks available for us upon our arrival. Check in and check out was no hassle.  The home was spacious, open, clean, comfortable and stylish.  "
702825,31936063,2015-05-12,11124545,Benjamin,"My friends and I rented this place for Levitation and everyone loved staying here.  Clean, well appointed and in a nice, quiet location in South Austin.  Larry was a great host too!"
702825,32449924,2015-05-18,26120215,Shaun,"We had a great time at Larry's house. The big kitchen table, open layout, and back patio were perfect for our small group of friends. Larry was very accommodating, available and responsive.  Definitely recommended. "
702825,33368319,2015-05-27,25434744,Courtney,"Our family of five had a wonderful stay at Larry's place.  It was the perfect home base for our busy long weekend in Austin.  The house is clean and comfortable, just as described.  The beds are so comfy!  

It's in an excellent location close to downtown & the airport.  A quick and cheap uber ride will get you to & from 6th Street safely.

Larry is a great host. Very courteous and accommodating.  We visited during a period of record setting rain and flooding, and everything went smoothly.

Thanks for a great stay Larry!"
702825,37383096,2015-07-06,8239909,Sarah,"Larry's home was perfect for our group of 6 in Austin. The pictures are accurate. The home is spacious, cute and screams Austin! The location is convenient, short distance to downtown, with a gas station around the corner to stock up on beer/wine/water/ice/snacks and a local taco shop nearby. Also 1 mile from Gourdoughs doughnuts (look it up!) We also loved his father's art work throughout the home. The kitchen was fully stocked for us, the beds comfy, the air condition so nice and necessary. Larry was easy to communicate with and extremely generous providing advice on where to eat, water tube, and explore. I would definitely recommend this home for your trip. "
702825,46284287,2015-09-09,29109177,Tiffanie,"The neighborhood was quiet and easy to find. Definitely a quirky part of Austin, which is exactly what we wanted - close to Torchy's Tacos, Ramen Tatsuya, Shake Shack, and plenty of food trucks. Easy drive to downtown Austin. 
House was exactly as pictured, bright and light and airy. Beautiful house, eclectic decor, and everything we needed was provided. Enough room for 6 of us, living space, beds, etc. Cute backyard for hanging out. Linens and towels provided for us, as well as some toiletries. 
Larry was very easy to get a hold of and very clear in his communications. When I come back to Austin, I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks Larry!"
702825,49765693,2015-10-06,762578,Hari,Larry was a gracious host and his house was extremely comfortable and clean.  Larry was kind enough to leave us the essentials in the fridge (including beer!) and even offered to drive us to the airport for our return flights.  The house is exactly as listed in a safe neighbourhood.  I'd definitely consider staying at Larry's again.
702825,50640156,2015-10-13,9051500,Annie,"Our host, Larry, was wonderful!  He was prompt with answering any questions that we had, provided beer/water/snacks upon our arrival, and gave us great recommendations on what to eat/see/visit on our trip.  He even offered to take us to the airport on our departure date!  The house was exactly how it was described in the post and uber was just a quick ride away to all the spots we wanted to hit up.  The house was spacious and fit all 6 of us perfectly.  The neighborhood is quiet and still about 1-1/5 miles away to SOCO.  Barton Springs was also close by, but we ran out of time.  We would definitely stay at Larry's house again the next time we come back to visit Austin!  We all had a great experience attending ACL and staying at Larry's!"
702825,51536160,2015-10-21,4022047,Katherine,"We had a wonderful time in Austin! Larry's place is lovely and in the perfect location; I am actually surprised we had enough restraint not to have Torchy's Tacos for every meal!
The place was perfect for our family - great space for the kids, a fenced in yard for them to play in, good sized bedrooms, great bathrooms, and  good kitchen with a generously stocked fridge (thank you, Larry!). 
Larry is also a wonderful host and very accommodating. He made check-in and check-out so easy for our family. I would recommend this place to anyone!"
458217,2248042,2012-09-10,2973086,Isaac,"The Room was similar to the pictures advertised, the bed was comfortable.  The other amenities were lacking or malfunctioning.   The main areas of the apartment are not comfortable or clean, especially in hot months. The internet was very slow, the oven was not usable and the shared bathroom was disappointing. 

The location is unbeatable.  It is easy to access 6th street and the Whole Foods is within walking distance.  There is plenty of street parking and access to Mopac is also easy.  "
458217,3723649,2013-03-08,5124741,Ho Man,"Three of my friends and I stayed here for spring break. Location was great and a fairly short walk from downtown Austin. A 7-Eleven is just a few minutes away for late night snacks and drinks. 

The empty lot next to the house is interesting with walls of concrete and graffiti, which serves as a popular tourist attraction. There is also a castle right behind the wall. 

There are two rooms and a loft which fit all four of us quite comfortably. Overall apartment was quite cozy and for our needs well. "
458217,3815001,2013-03-18,4502541,Tom,"Tyler's place was great for SXSW! His apartment was about a 20 minute walk from all the action on 6th Street. Very convenient. The neighbourhood was safe and there were some cool little cafes and bars near by. The shower worked well, a washing machine and dryer were available which I used twice with no issues and the bedroom I accommodated was very comfortable and clean. Also had access to wi-fi which I had no issue with what so ever (way quicker than Australian wi-fi actually).

On top of all this Tyler made a real effort as host to give me some tips about the city and some ins and outs of the festival. Very much appreciated when travelling on your own.

To summarise, perfect for what I was after for my week of SXSW. Thanks heaps Tyler."
458217,4215543,2013-04-19,5683306,Brian,"Tyler did a great job of communicating before, during and after our stay. The apartment was clean and everything was ready for us when we arrived. The bed was comfortable. It was a great place to stay!"
458217,6976889,2013-09-01,7911579,Jamal,"I had a very good stay at Tyler's place. Tyler is really down to earth and made sure I had everything I needed. Public transport to 6th street is within walking distance (10min), and you could even walk to 6th street yourself if you're up for it (25min). Kitchen was very good with good cooking equipment to make small or big meals. Dryer and washing machine work and Tyler keeps his room pretty clean. Queen size bed is comfortable.

The only thing that could have been better was the airco in the room. The airco makes some noise so I turned it down while sleeping. It wasn't that much of a problem because the room stays cold long enough for me to fall asleep,  but worth mentioning.

All in all a very good experience and would recommend!"
458217,7421241,2013-09-19,8497591,Matt,This is a great place to stay. Easy walking distance to the grocery store or anywhere else you would need to go. The guys were very easy going and made me feel right at home.
458217,7921542,2013-10-08,2597161,Randy,Our stay went smoothly.  Any questions we had were answered quickly and it was easy to get to.  There was street parking across the street and a few places near-by perfect for late night.   
458217,8087763,2013-10-15,8518115,Meghan,We had a fabulous stay at Tyler's place in Austin. The apartment is in a great location (it was easy to walk most places we wanted to go) and it's also very comfortable and clean! Highly recommend
458217,8812873,2013-11-19,8298681,Stephen,"Tyler's place in Austin was just what we were looking for when we stayed there for 4 nights surrounding the F1 weekend. It's in a great location, about 15 minutes walk from the busy bits of town, was clean and we were made to feel very welcome.

Tyler and his housemate were both very easy to get on with and we went out for food and drinks a couple of times while we were staying there. Over a few drinks plenty of local knowledge of where to go in town was taken in! Austin proved to be a fantastic place, and I hope to return at some point in the future!

If you're looking for somewhere to stay without the steep hotel prices and some friendly hosts, then look no further!"
458217,10401015,2014-02-17,1479732,Henry,"If just need a place to crush at night and don't care about amenities and facilities then this might be okay. Otherwise, I would say this place might shock you as it looks better than it actually is in reality"
458217,10998091,2014-03-17,9739795,Ignacio,"My time at Tyler's apt was my first experience with Airbnb, and I was traveling to Austin during a major event -SXSW- that would collapse the city's lodging options, so I was a bit afraid something could turn wrong. 

My fears proved unfounded. The apartment was just great --an awesome room, clean common areas and an almost unbeatable location (25-minute walk to the city downtown, with a public bicycle station, a 7-Eleven and a Whole Foods just a few blocks away). Tyler and his roommate were extremely easy going and helpful, giving me tips about Austin and the apartment since the very moment I booked the room. 

I would definitely recommend Tyler's place!"
458217,14458884,2014-06-19,3097004,Nate,My stay was very easy and convenient. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Tyler lives in an incredible location. 
458217,18865765,2014-09-01,20667017,Michael,"I only stayed for one night so didn't get to meet Tyler, but the room matched the description. The house is old but the room and bathroom were both clean. Location is very good, not far from downtown.  If you just need a place to crash for the night, without a lot of amenities, I would recommend it- it fit the bill for me. "
458217,21902402,2014-10-26,3437116,Jill,"I loved my stay at Tyler's house! The location was great and made for a comfortable home base for my time in Austin. Tyler is a terrific host - enjoyable conversation and spot-on recommendations for what to do in Austin. He and his housemate, Chris, are laid back and personable. I would love to stay here again if I find myself back in Austin (which I hope I do, because Austin is a great city!)"
458217,24620750,2014-12-31,9583761,Nadine,"I had a great stay at Tyler's place.  The room was really nice and spacious.  Sheets and towels were prepared for me when I arrived and the room was in great condition.  The area is awesome, right next door to the graffiti wall which is pretty cool and walking distance to 6th street, UTA and The Texas Capital plus many other great places which was ideal for me since I was in town to visit those places mainly.  Thank you Tyler for your accommodation and thank you to Chris (his roommate) who was a great help while Tyler was out of town."
458217,24866283,2015-01-03,6136663,Marion,"Tyler wasn't here during our stay but it was easy to email him. The location was great (Whole food and 24 Dinner). However I don't recommend this place if you are looking for a clean and warm (during winter) place to stay, and the minimum of furnitures (no chair in the bedroom to put our towels/cloths). The price seems too high for what it is."
458217,26197939,2015-02-06,26860734,Kirk,Tyler welcomed me to his home on short notice and it was as advertised. He gave me some good places to eat and left me to myself. The location was great! it was very close to everything that I wanted to do on west 6th and also close to my office. I would definitely stay again.
458217,28316920,2015-03-22,197990,Daniel,"I stayed at Tyler's home for SXSW. The bedroom was clean and spacious, and the house itself was located in a pretty good area, right next to the Graffiti Park at Castle Hills. It was about a 20 minute walk from all the chaos around 6th/I-35 (or about a $10-15 Lyft ride back at the end of the night), and 5-minute walk to the Waterloo Records and the big flagship Whole Foods (both essential stops for me during SXSW). Tyler was not around, but he was easy to get a hold of by phone/e-mail, and his roommate Chris was a good and amiable host. I would highly recommend this place! "
458217,29802435,2015-04-12,30320787,John,"I found the room to be the perfect no frills arrangement in a great location. If you really just need a place to crash and leave your stuff while you go out and explore this awesome city, this spot is ideal for you.  Not only is it right next door to the very cool Hope Outdoor Gallery (public graffiti exhibit) it is also walking distance from all the fun things 6th Street downtown ATX has to offer.  It was incredible easy to get around the DT area with this room as the starting spot. 

Though I never met Tyler, he was also quick to respond to my questions and make sure that I had what I needed for my stay. Very pleased with my experience here. "
458217,30908086,2015-04-28,6792099,Muhammad,Fantastic host and communication!
458217,37271131,2015-07-05,28371491,Vita,Tyler was super flexible and responsive in accommodating our stay. The apartment's location is great (right by the graffiti park!) and close to downtown Austin.
458217,38778139,2015-07-18,38003179,Kevin,Got the job done nicely for me while in Austin for a few days. I just need a place to land at night and a shower Cool historic area of Austin. 
458217,50189083,2015-10-10,42934260,Sarah,Tyler was a friendly and helpful hat and the house was clean. There are 2 very sweet dogs at the home (olive will play ball with you as long as you let her). The house is old so nothing fancy or swanky but perfect for a place to crash at night. Definitely recommend if you need a convenient location. 
4447378,26476349,2015-02-13,8492899,Riaz,"Sarah was very accommodating, at less than a day's notice. Her home is spotless.  We communicated quickly and briefly, I asked for a bed and a shower and I was more than happy with what I got. For a busy person, I found Sarah to be very personable and charming."
4431587,22715011,2014-11-12,6115832,Thomas,"Rocio was a great host. She met us directly at the very nice and spacious house and even provided fruits, snacks, shampoo etc. for us. She was checking on us every day if we needed something. House is very clean, perfect for 4, but also fits 6. We walked every day to nearby bars or the river and downtown - coming back at nights from downtown is just a short 11$ lyft ride away.

Thanks for this flawless awsome stay, Rocio"
4431587,49762243,2015-10-06,11126914,Lizzy,"Cozy two bed, one and a half bath townhouse that was perfect for a weekend getaway to Austin. Rocio was great for letting us stay on her side of the two unit townhouse, and she was very welcoming. She was easy to get in contact with, although didn't need to as everything was in place when we arrived. She had even set an air mattress out for us to use in case we had extra guests."
4431587,52204543,2015-10-27,28651819,Brian,Austin was a great experience the location could not be better. We were 10 minutes from the fun downtown and 20 minutes to circuit of the americas. The host was very helpful and made sure our experience was great. 
5231442,27789415,2015-03-11,19452941,Benita,The reservation was canceled 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3441118,16994096,2014-08-05,5271560,Jordan,"Staying with Julie was a lovely experience. I had no trouble communicating with her quickly over text, phone, and email. She offered to stock the house things that we would want to use, and even scrounged up a waffle maker for us to use when we asked if there was one available. 

Upon arriving, she talked to us about where to eat and what to do -- she's a veteran Austin resident and so had no trouble with our questions. She also responded right away when we had questions or small issues to work out. 

The house itself met our needs perfectly. Lots of beds and baths and near all the downtown stuff, but in a residential neighborhood. Being close to the lake was a just a bonus. 

All in all, Julie and her spacious Tarrytown residence is an easy choice when thinking about where to stay in Austin. She'll work with you until things are right. 
 "
3441118,27601563,2015-03-08,15743978,Adam,"Everything was perfect. Upon arrival Julie was extremely welcoming, providing us with snacks, flowers, and a smile. The house was immaculate and comfortably accommodated five of us. Thank you so much Julie! If I'm in Austin again I'll definitely try to rebook if available."
3441118,28305620,2015-03-22,1924746,Angelica,"Julie was an amazing host, from beginning to end! We had a little issue with the booking during a very busy festival (SXSW) and she was so easy to work with and accommodating. 
The house was gorgeous, spacious and had a wonderful location. Julie left us flowers and sweet notes and delicious candy to welcome us. The checkin and checkout couldn't have been easier. She is an A+ host! "
27632,86861,2010-08-29,215685,Albert,The host canceled my reservation.
27632,106527,2010-09-27,232398,Liz,"This place is adorable! It is in a very nice location, and has tons to do within a short walk. Very clean and cute. The next time we return to Austin, we will without a doubt stay here, if it is available of coarse."
27632,134095,2010-11-06,235040,Jesse,"I stayed in this property for over a month while looking for a permanent apartment.  The location was great and I ended up getting a place just a few blocks away.  I had only planned on staying about a month, but ended up staying a few more weeks because the place was comfortable and the price was far better than a hotel.

When I arrived, the place was clean and most everything I needed was provided.  During my stay, one or two things needed to be fixed, and Angele (the owner) was very helpful and responsive and all my needs were met in short order.

Furthermore, Angele was very friendly and, showed me around town, and was very easy to rent from."
27632,142726,2010-11-22,270408,Stephen,"My girlfriend and I stayed here on the last leg of our Austin, Houston, San Antonio, back to Austin Trip. We were in Austin with the hopes to move there. Angele made our trip very easy.

Very lovely condo, off-street parking, close to everything. Really great neighborhood close to the Mopac 1 loop (I think), 10 minute walk to Amy's Ice Cream or Wiggy's Liquors, 15 minute walk to Whole Foods or Hut's Hamburgers, 15 minute walk to bars/restaurants (Hut's Hamburgers), 30 minute walk to Mellow Johnnie's to rent bicycles. You have the city close by, with the luxury and calm of the suburbs. Awesome

Would definitely rent with Angele again. She is very informative, very hospitable and helpful in every sense. She was available at any time for our questions regarding the neighborhood, moving to Austin and where to go to enjoy night/day life"
27632,163600,2011-01-03,290666,Liz,The condo was great. It was very clean and a great location. It was a 15 min walk to town lake. Will definitely recommend to friends and stay there again!
27632,168473,2011-01-09,326425,Katy,"The place was in a great location, it had everything we needed, we had a reserved parking and it was very clean, Angele offered us help with anything we needed. If I needed again a rental in Austin it definitely would be here. The neighborhood was great to take walks and everybody around was so friendly."
27632,170985,2011-01-16,310459,Mekala,"I stayed here January 9 to January 15, and unfortunately Austin was in the 30s and 40s temperature wise; the heater in the apartment works great!  The rental is in a great location.  For people without rental cars, it's on a direct bus line to Whole Foods (I walked there, but it's about a 10 minute walk and there are hills), UT-Austin, and downtown.

Angele is a great host, and she responded to my questions quickly while I was in Austin."
27632,179639,2011-02-08,274249,Landon,"Angele's condo in Clarksville was amazing. The space is modern and clean. The location is the best part, you can walk to have coffee or dinner and the state capital is only 1.4 miles away. Angele is a wonderful host and I highly recommend her condo."
27632,181465,2011-02-13,357890,Lisa,"Very comfortable and roomy. Close to downtown, but not really walking distance. We had a great time. I would recommend staying here.

Two suggestions: a TV and an extra blanket."
27632,184317,2011-02-18,193726,Neal,"Angele was super easy to get a hold of, and book her apartment (I needed it the next day!). I had a great time walking everywhere in Austin, including to downtown every day, and it was a comfortable place to stay each evening.

Everything was clean, and simple, and the condo itself is very attractive. Quiet neighbors/neighborhood and restful sleep every night made for a great stay. 

P.S. I found myself eating great meals and drinking tasty coffee about two blocks away on 10th ave. A great neighborhood to explore."
27632,187234,2011-02-23,282005,Zak And Stephanie,"We had a great stay! The condo was the perfect place for 2 of us for a long weekend in Austin. Very clean, loved the wood floors. Angele was a very good host and very willing to answer questions. Nice, safe neighborhood within short walking distance to many shops and restaurants as well as the bus stops. We didn't rent a car and only took the bus a few times and were kept more than busy. I'd certainly stay here again for a return trip and highly recommend it to others. Thanks!"
27632,190996,2011-03-01,385898,Heather,"Angele's Condo is a little treasure in the heart of Austin. We were within walking distance of W Sixth, but still had the convenience of staying in a quiet neighborhood. Couldn't have placed the condo any more perfectly for our stay! When we arrived, we were a bit early for checkin and got to meet Angele's husband and adorable little boy, who gave us a quick tour of the place. We loved having the wifi, and honestly not having a tv was a plus for us. Kept us out of the apartment and enjoying what Austin had to offer. The bed was huge and comfy, the apartment was cool in the daytime without the air running, thanks to two awesome ceiling fans (remote controlled!) and the storage space for our things was extravagant. The kitchen was beautiful - my husband decided if we redo our kitchen we'll take some pointers from theirs. I felt like I was right at home within about five minutes of unpacking. We had a wonderful time & will be staying here the next time we are in town! Thanks again, Angele!"
27632,212851,2011-03-30,222831,Rachel,"We had a fabulous stay at the condo. It was cosy, stocked, and had everything we needed for the whole month. Thanks so much, Angele for being a wonderful host. I'd recommend you any time and we'll be keeping in touch for future visits!"
27632,215328,2011-04-02,454419,Greg,"Great place to stay, good price, clean, stylish, quiet - I'll be back!"
27632,216555,2011-04-04,373645,Lizette,Great place to stay and about a $7.00 cab ride to downtown.  Angele is really sweet! I'd definitely stay again!  No complaints.  Nice and cool conditioner/fans/ventilation throughout the place too (in case you're thinking about visiting during the summer heat).  
27632,229926,2011-04-18,427661,Maria,I had a wonderful time staying at the condo in Clarksville.  Great Location!  Super cute neighborhood and really close to everything!  Loved the Whole Foods and Bookstore down the street.  Angele was great and very sweet!  I would definitely stay there again!  Highly recommend it!  Condo was cute and very clean!
27632,333884,2011-06-25,430174,Elina,"Angele was a wonderful host and made herself very accessable to answer any questions I had while I was staying at the condo on a work trip. The location is great, in a quiet neighborhood and a short walk to everything (6th street shops, Whole Foods, etc). 

The condo itself was extremely clean, nicely decorated, and had everything you needed. There was even laundry detergent, and a lent roller in the walk-in closet. The air conditioning was wonderful, considering I was in Austin during June when the daily temperature was 102 degrees. Being one who prefers to sleep in my bed than anywhere else, I slept great in the fluffy bed; pillows were comfortable as well. In fact, the worst part of the entire stay was waking up early in the morning to go to work. 

Great place, great host. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting Austin. 
"
27632,354119,2011-07-05,470,Josh,"For my first trip to Austin, Angele could *not* have been more accommodating! The Clarksville neighborhood was sweet and quiet, great restaurants and coffeeshops to walk to. Directions and instructions were clear and easy; apartment was clean and tidy. We were happy to see (the morning after our late night arrival) there was coffee in the freezer — and so we left behind some snacks and beer, to sweeten the deal for the next Airbnb'er. I'd definitely go back and stay there again!"
27632,364175,2011-07-10,289913,Laura,Angele's condo was in excellent condition and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and pretty. Great parking spot! A 5-10 minute drive to just about everything. Highly recommended!

27632,387965,2011-07-21,276909,Alexander,"Nice modern, clean condo in West Austin... Went and stayed for business and would definitely come back. Angele was responsive, helpful, and truly cared about the quality of my stay!"
27632,396492,2011-07-25,824308,Louis,Excellent amenities and Angele was easy to be reached when I had any questions. 
27632,443376,2011-08-14,268419,Kevin,"The apartment is really fabulous. It is exactly as described and so is the neighborhood. I liked the view of the trees from the bedroom window!

27632,481201,2011-08-28,691582,Geoffrey,"Angele's condo is clean, well-appointed, and comfortable. I would definitely return and recommend her without reservation."
27632,484810,2011-08-29,942972,Elizabeth,"My beau and I loved our stay at Angele's. Very clean, well-designed and just minutes from whole foods, 6th st and congress st. you can definitely walk (or drive) right downtown to enjoy alllll of austin! There's even coffee in the freezer for you to enjoy!"
27632,513193,2011-09-08,874015,Melanie,"My first time using Airbnb could not have been a better experience! The condo is well represented in the pictures and is clean and spacious. There location was perfect being only a 10 minute walk (or 8 minutes at my speedy pace) to Whole Foods and easily accessible to downtown. Perfect for my boyfriend and I over his birthday weekend. Angele was the perfect hostess, contacting me prior to my arrival and insuring that every need we had was met. I'll be back in Austin in 30 days and sadly this place isn't available but if it were I'd scoop it up in a heartbeat and plan to any of my Austin trips that I need a place to stay. :-)"
27632,564840,2011-09-25,818171,Michael,"I had a great stay at Angele's apartment for 2 1/2 weeks. The apartment is beautifully furnished and clean and everything that you need is available or close by. Angele was also extremely helpful, especially when I lost the key! I fully recommend staying here!"
27632,613426,2011-10-10,819026,Staci,"This condo was super convenient and has everything you need for a great stay in Austin.  There's a full kitchen, washer/dryer, lots of storage place for clothes, food and suitcases.  It was a short, pleasant walk to all the action and very quiet for relaxing nights in.  Angele was very accessible by phone/text and email throughout our stay, was quick to respond and was very sweet.  Thanks Angele!"
27632,676938,2011-10-30,1321292,Lori,We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Convenient location and comfy bed. I would definitely recommend it.

27632,697787,2011-11-07,1152320,Rachel,"Great condo, close to everything.  There is no check-in or check-out, which makes it nice if you are arriving and leaving at odd times to get the key and return it.  Quiet neighborhood, quiet complex.  I highly recommend it!  Angele is a great hostess."
27632,710908,2011-11-12,288167,Anne,"Angele was easy to reach, quick to respond, and the condo was perfect--exactly as pictured and described. The whole thing experience was smooth and easy, and our stay was great. Would definitely stay here again!"

27632,733374,2011-11-21,1217147,Lisa,"The Clarksville Condo was perfect for us during our stay.  Great location for our training downtown, a beautiful apartment nicely decorated, a quiet and clean space.  It had everything we needed, even coffee in the freezer to brew, and organic sugar in the pantry.  Fresh towels, comfortable bed, very functional too with the washer/dryer and full kitchen with appliances.  Our host Angele was also very responsive to any questions we had.  We will definitely be staying again!"
27632,758564,2011-12-01,1394021,Michael,A great little place that is well provisioned and well located.  Can't wait to return!!
27632,760088,2011-12-02,1455949,Maggie,"Angele's condo was beautiful, clean, and a cozy place to stay! I loved feeling like a local in Austin is such a quaint neighborhood so close to all of the action. I definitely recommend this spot."
27632,774272,2011-12-10,1270184,Carlie,"Angele's place is absolutely perfect! Minutes from downtown is absolutely accurate, we walked and when we couldn't there were bus stops literally a minute walk from the apartment.  As well its walking distance from wholefoods (supermarket) and super quiet in a nice and safe area. We loved staying here and If we return to austin this is definitely the place for us! Thanks Angele!"
27632,783477,2011-12-13,1169175,Kaitlyn,"Wonderful experience. Angele was friendly, communicative and kind. Her place was exactly as advertised. It was beautiful, clean and convenient. My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay and would definitely recommend the space to anyone."
27632,1001366,2012-03-15,924662,Rodolfo,"The condo was a pleasant, easy (for me) walk to my downtown convention, but far enough away to be a retreat. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and the condo itself was neat and clean."
27632,1015883,2012-03-19,1386295,Ted,"Place was super clean and great. Love that it had a washer/dryer. Kind of missed a TV, but it's Austin, get out and explore. I left my iPad behind and Angele was sweet enough to send along. Great stay."
27632,1049203,2012-03-27,1463634,Laura,"This is a nice contemporary condo on the second floor, in a fabulous neighborhood of homes. Walking distance to at least 8 restaurants, through a quiet tree-shaded residential neighborhood. 

The host was readily available when we had questions and a problem, and was generous in setting things right immediately."
27632,1055915,2012-03-28,1870485,Diane,"My daughter and I spent one night at Angele's beautiful, clean, well-located condo.  We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to return in the near future.  It is even nicer than the photos!"
27632,1070834,2012-04-02,1518498,Ben,"Apartment was exactly as described and more - it has a lovely shared patio in the front, and is in a picturesque area of the city. A very pleasant walk to the restaurants, bars and shops of 6th St, Downtown, and a 15 minute walk/bus ride to the University. It was spotlessly clean and even had some home comforts, and there were no problems whatsoever with getting in. An excellent experience. "
27632,1109068,2012-04-11,1671575,Travis,"Angele was great.  The house was very clean and exceeded our expectations from the pictures.  Really great location, can't wait to go back."
27632,1135950,2012-04-16,1459155,Natasha,"Angele's condo was amazing - exactly as advertised! Very well located in a lovely neighborhood. The condo itself is super clean, extremely well maintained and very comfortable. My husband and I loved staying there and will definitely be back! Angele is a wonderful host and made sure that our stay was a great one. Thanks, Angele!!"
27632,1167192,2012-04-23,1570799,Adam,"The Clarksville condo was great! Angele was super accommodating. Getting in and out of the apartment was super easy. Really well kept. Nice neighborhood feel. Word to the wise though. Make sure you rent a car in Austin! Things are not really walking distance, public transportation is not consistent and cabs cost a fortune."
27632,1199845,2012-04-30,1744712,Chris,"I loved the Clarksville condo. The neighborhood is beautiful and easily within walking distance of downtown/6th/1st. The Capitol and S. Congress are also walkable given a bit of time and a more forgiving Texas heat.

The condo itself is well maintained and modern. It really allows you to feel as if you're living in Austin. If the condo is available for future trips, I will absolutely stay here."
27632,1223570,2012-05-03,1592114,Emily,"Angele's place is a lovely, neat, spacious condo in a friendly, historic, tree-lined neighborhood. It's about a 30-minute pleasant (and hilly) walk to/from downtown. Self-service access to the condo was simple and seamless. It was a very nice relaxing stay on a 3-day business trip in awesome Austin.  "
27632,1248631,2012-05-08,110444,Majel,"Angele was very kind and helpful. We didn't see her—giving the experience kind of a hotel feeling, which worked out for us. What contact we did have was very friendly, helpful and upbeat. The apartment is very close to some very hip things, but is on a quiet residential street giving you a nice feeling of being part of the city, not just visiting."
27632,1267033,2012-05-12,1309072,Dan,"Place was just as described. Great location - walkable to downtown and the lake while tucked away in a charming and quite neighborhood. Angele was very communicative and made sure I had everything I needed. Like a hotel suite, but much more affordable!"
27632,1278109,2012-05-14,1905559,Irene,"The stay in Angele's apartment is awesome! First of all, it is very very clean, and the neighborhood is quite. Angele provided everything we want. Besides all the amenities listed, we all found other things we didn't expect: hair dryer, kitchen paper towels, laundry detergent and a lot. It feels like a home, cozy and convenient. Although it is not in the center of the downtown, and it is a little bit far from the attractions since we didn't drive, we were still able to reach many buses nearby to go around. We didn't meet Angele personally, she put the key in a locker so that we can open the door by ourselves. That was very smart and thoughtful!"
27632,1557718,2012-06-25,405545,Simon,"Nice quiet spot, clean and comfortable place. It's a very quick ride into town and Angele left everything I needed for an enjoyable stay."
27632,1584082,2012-06-28,2691381,Brian,"Great place to stay while in Austin! The location is in a charming part of Austin and has a very laid back, relaxing feel. The condo is very clean and really has everything you need. Angele is friendly and easy to work with! I am definately coming back on my next trip to Austin! "
27632,1672758,2012-07-09,1497290,Melody,"Angele was a great and helpful host! I booked our stay in Austin at the last minute and she was very accommodating and her place was gorgeous! So close to the action, great food, and comfortable lodgings. Would definitely stay there again. "
27632,1890497,2012-08-05,2344416,Angela,"Really enjoyed my stay. The condo was very comfortable, and about a 15 minute walk from Whole Foods, and a 30 minute walk to downtown. I loved having a full kitchen and a washer and dryer.  The bed and bedding were comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and had lots of drawer space. 

Check-in was really easy; Angele left a key in the lockbox, and called later to make sure everything was okay.  I never met her, but she was the perfect ""host"" in that she made sure that I had everything that I needed. She even brought me a large soup pot when I told her I had a hankering to make some soup. What a sweetheart!

Note that when you arrive, the condo is at the southeast corner of 9th and Highland, even though the street sign says that Highland is the 1400 block.  Just tell the cabbie ""corner of 9th and Highland"" and save arguing with him about the address; if you give him the address, he'll try to take you to the corner of 9th and West Lynn, which is not correct. 

Would definitely stay there again if I come back to Austin."
27632,3214137,2013-01-01,4510162,Ken,"great host, great location. "
27632,3438246,2013-01-29,1643453,Yara,"We could not have asked for more! The whole process was smooth, her place was clean and exactly as described, and conveniently located to a lot of great attractions in Austin! I liked it because the neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful but still very close to downtown. Angele was very responsive and available every time we had question. We even lost our key on Saturday night and within minutes were able to get another one from Angele. I highly recommend Angele and her place for anyone traveling to Austin!!"
27632,4060308,2013-04-07,2890002,Jan,"The condo is perfectly located to explore downtown Austin, and it is near the university area, which can be reached by foot (30 minutes) or bus (15 minutes). A whole Foods is ten minutes by foot.
The area is very quiet, safe and leafy, which made for a relaxing and overall very joyous stay.
The condo has everything one desires, and I cannot recommend staying there enough. I would stay there again any time.
"
27632,4129622,2013-04-12,2990777,Daniel,"The condo was great.  It was clean, modern and spacious for a 1 bedroom.  There were restaurants, a bodega and a grocery store around the corner and it was a short walk to the trails at Lady Bird lake which is great for walking/running/cycling.  It was a quick bus ride or cab ride to downtown and things could not have gone smoother.  The place is stocked with everything you need (except a television, but you shouldn't need that if you are on vacation.)

I recommend it and would stay again."
27632,4503789,2013-05-09,1329345,Rebecca,"Perfect place, but don't tell anyone so that it will be available for us for next time. Best location in town, no car needed, and yet there's a parking space next to it. Excellent kitchen. Attentive host. And, although no tv, the internet connection is fast. Perfect for SXSW or anyone wanting to explore Austin. So many great restaurants in walking distance - Whole Foods headquarters right nearby. And, quiet."
27632,5034208,2013-06-09,106726,Smith And Erik,"This apartment is beautifully appointed, clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed our one month stay in one if Austin's best neighborhoods. Angele lives close by and was always quick to pop over if we needed anything. I would highly recommend staying in this listing. Thanks, Angele!"
27632,5862488,2013-07-20,6138782,Christopher,"I had a great stay at Angele's condo. It's located in a nice residential neighborhood - very quiet and comfortable to come home to but also fairly close to everything else in Austin.  There are some nice restaurants and bars within walking distance from her location, and the main attractions in the city are all within a 2 mile radius.

Since my stay came in the middle of the summer it's also worth mentioning that the A/C works great.  There's a temperature gauge you can set, and the unit can actually reach that temp, even when it's hot outside.  I'm a northerner so this was a pleasant surprise.

All in all, I highly recommend the condo - anytime I'm back in Austin this will be the first place I check.  Angele is great to deal with as well - always responsive and friendly.  "
27632,7976514,2013-10-10,8296097,Darren,The reservation was canceled 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
27632,8708884,2013-11-12,9580377,Aaron,"This was a great place to stay in Austin, close to west 6th. As well as a hop skip and a jump from, Town Lake and Zilker Park. The neighbor hood is very nice to walk around as well as there is a few eatery's close by. I really had a good time in Austin and we enjoyed our stay, especially being so close to central Austin. I would use this service again especially if my experience is anything like my first, thank you guys"
27632,24503140,2014-12-29,24701415,Bianca,"Setting up the stay was super simple. Angele got back to me in a few hours of my request. I booked everything online, and she walked me through how to get there over the phone once we got to Austin. She helped us out with any accomodations, and the neighbors are super nice as well. You have everything you need and it is in a beautiful community. I would highly recommend for people to stay here."
27632,43297277,2015-08-18,30479553,Brandon,Neighborhood was great and just minutes from downtown. Place was clean and well air conditioned. Wifi worked well. The reserved parking was a plus!
27632,43841678,2015-08-22,2593326,Gustavo,"Awesome location, close to restaurants, convention center and all downtown has to offer. Super clean and well decorated, loved the value and experience. Angele was super easy to work with and coordinate, she has this down! Will stay again!"

2390057,28261098,2015-03-21,6278145,Matthew,Had a great time at Lisa's home during the SXSW music festival this year. Lisa was very accommodating given our rather large group and even bumped our check out time back so we could get some extra sleep on our last morning. The house absolutely met my expectations and the location was perfect for both getting downtown and exploring the neighborhood around the house. Bonus: the master shower is one of the best showers I've ever had!
2390057,28706835,2015-03-29,10810811,Emma,Lisa met us at her house and showed us around. She made sure we had coffee and invited us to have anything in the fridge and pantry. Her house was very clean and actually more spacious than the pictures indicate. She also has a cute backyard with a fire pit and a hammock. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were really nice. We really loved everything about the house and the neighborhood. Great listing!!
2390057,29831349,2015-04-13,27972162,Lindsay,"My girlfriends and I stayed here while in Austin for a relaxing bachelorette weekend getaway and we loved it. The home is bright and happy, with plenty of space to comfortably entertain our party of 7 (though a few of the beds were small/uncomfortable for those who had to share).   The neighborhood is quiet and in an up-and-coming area where many of the homes are being renovated.  There were a few coffee/food places in walking distance, and everything else was a quick Uber ride away.  Also Lisa was a great host -  very responsive, flexible on checkin/checkout times and made sure we had everything in the house that we needed.  I would definitely stay here again."
2390057,30193913,2015-04-19,26050158,Jenna,"Lisa was so helpful from day one. The house is adorable and slept 9 people comfortably. The place looks exactly like it does in the photos provided. We had a great time and if/when I come back to Austin, I hope to stay at Lisa's place again. Thank you for everything!"

2390057,31307477,2015-05-04,2538956,Bern,"Lisa was an exceptional host. Super gracious and very responsive. I felt totally taken care of.

I would definitely recommend Lisa and her home :)"
2390057,32961531,2015-05-24,16478013,Laura,"It took me awhile to write this review because I had to recover from all the fun I had last weekend! I stayed at Lisa's place for my bachelorette weekend. Lisa was great host and made us feel welcome from the start. There were 8 of us and some of us shared beds but there was plenty of room for that size group. Due to unprecedented amounts of rain and terrible weather, we actually spent a lot of time hanging out at the house and it was the perfect place to do do. The house is decorated so cute and the master bathroom shower exceeded all expectations."
2390057,34981845,2015-06-14,285108,Brian,"Lisa was super easy to deal with and extremely flexible. Her house is gorgeous, centrally located and newly renovated. Would definitely recommend."
2390057,46707388,2015-09-13,35404770,Ritika,Lisa was amazing as a host and her house was everything we could have dreamed of and more! We were in town for a bachelorette weekend and decided to get a house so everyone could be in the same place and we'd have a kitchen at our disposal. The common areas in this house are massive which is ideal for large groups. The ambiance of the house is amazing and Lisa's choice of decor is great -- made us feel right at home in Austin! 
2390057,47646927,2015-09-21,36651552,Shaun,Lisa is awesome and extremely responsive with all of my questions about the space and Austin. Definitely a great Airbnb host and I would recommend her place to anyone!
2390057,50266578,2015-10-11,25518202,Kate,Lisa was an excellent host!  Not only is her home beautiful but she also left us some great recommendations.  She also left us some food and drink which was extremely thoughtful.  Her home was extremely nice and clean; it is exactly as you see in the pictures.  I highly recommend her home!
2390057,51112682,2015-10-18,8846142,Kelly,"I came here with 9 other girls for my Bachelorette party. We had a great experience in Austin staying in Lisa's home. Her house is so unique and clean, it felt like staying in a hotel. She is quick to respond, which is very refreshing. The location is a quick uber ride anywhere, and you can walk to Franklin's BBQ. Just hanging out at the house was one of our favorite parts of the trip. Definitely recommend this place!"
2390057,52036791,2015-10-26,26641451,Nick,We had a great experience renting this property. Lisa was quick to respond to any queries I had leading up to the rental and she was also very accommodating. The property itself was perfect for our group - it is very spacious and looks exactly like the pictures. It is a short cab ride away from downtown Austin and was a great base for a group like ours. Perfect!
7986101,47779295,2015-09-21,38122082,Caryn,Apartment was in a great location.  Very clean and a good value.  Perfect space for a couple.

Facility has beautiful pool, free wifi and Starbucks coffee maker in lobby.  Apartment was clean and cozy, but definitely no frills.  Fit our needs perfectly though."
7986101,50471565,2015-10-12,5176662,Jonathan,"Tita was super responsive about coordinating our arrival, and her attitude was very welcoming.  The apartment itself was wonderful:  great space + phenomenal location close to the airport, South Congress, Rainey St, and East 6th.  I stayed there for a wedding and ACL and would happily stay there again.  Highly recommended! "

785963,10945200,2014-03-14,7210039,Bobbi,Rick was awesome to work with from the very beginning.  I booked his home for my boss and another coworker who were attending SXSW.  Rick was super helpful and flexible with check-in since they were arriving late in the day.  He even left them some snacks and water for them to enjoy.  Thanks Rick!
7873987,50992460,2015-10-16,1155858,John,"I had an amazing stay! Could not have asked for more. Margie was very accommodating and communicative, and the apartment is even nicer than the pictures. Very well located. And the bed-so comfortable! I will 100% stay here again next time I'm in Austin.

Thank you, Margie!"
7873987,51843657,2015-10-24,18156,Chyloe,"I had a wonderful time at Margie's place. The room and apartment were clean and near, and the location was excellent. Margie even provides me with some home made pecan praline. Diego, her tenant and son's friend, was a great host and really lovely to talk to. I would highly recommend this place. "

3952428,22037334,2014-10-28,21463995,Jessica,"Rebecca and her family were wonderful hosts.  Rebecca contacted me to see if I needed advice about transportation from the airport and when I said I did she gave me very easy instructions.  She was at work when I arrived but had left several notes, a map marked with places of interest in the city, little snacks, and a reusable bag since Austin has a plastic bag ban in my room.  It was a very comfortable room, comfortable bed, wonderfully decorated.  The house couldn't be more charming.  Rebecca and her family were easy to talk to and lovely people, but since I had plenty to do in town, I wasn't able to get to know them as much as I would have liked and that was fine, too.  I highly recommend staying with them."
3952428,22404254,2014-11-05,3830032,Pedro,"My girlfriend and I were in town for the F1 race, and we definitely lucked out staying with Rebecca. I can't say enough about Rebecca and her family. They really tried to make us feel welcome. She offered us breakfast, coffee, restaurant  recommendations, and even coats!
The location is great, it's in a really quiet street, just a few blocks off of South Congress. It is possible to stay here without having to rent a car.
Second, the house itself is great. The bedroom is spacious and clean, and the bed was super comfortable as well.

I would definitely stay here again!"
3952428,22598104,2014-11-10,4631583,Margo,"Rebecca was very responsive and accommodating before our visit, answering questions promptly. Our room was very spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable and we had a lot of privacy and enjoyed the front patio and great weather. Friendly and attractive neighborhood in a nice location near S. Congress and town lake. Host had great advice on restaurants, trails, and hill country wine tasting. I would happily stay here again! "
3952428,26717217,2015-02-17,26874087,Holly,"Perfect accommodations in the perfect setting! My friend and I stayed in Austin for a weekend to get to know the city, and Rebecca's location was perfect to see the South Congress area and to walk across the bridge toward the Capital and 6th street. Rebecca, David, and Nina were all helpful and kind. We didn't spend too much time in the house, because there was a lot to see, but it was always easy to get back to and we never had an issue popping in and out. The house is beautiful, and the hosts really made us feel at home in Austin."
3952428,27234213,2015-02-28,10523534,Conway,Fantastic neighborhood in a lovely house and a comfortable bedroom. Hosts made my arrival easy and I had a terrific stay. 
3952428,27675677,2015-03-09,12790041,Donna,"Rebecca and Liz were out of town, but helpful by cell phone. David, who lives there, was very helpful and kind. We loved the spacious and colorful house, quiet neighborhood, and access to the amazing bike paths of Austin.  Great location on SoCo area and great place to stay. "
3952428,28048974,2015-03-16,28889467,Felipe,"Had a great weekend with Liz and David!  The house was in a very convenient neighborhood (close to the Colorado river path where lots of people walk, run and ride). 

I woke up with birds chirping on Saturday and Sunday. My room os very cozy and the bed very comfortable. 

I highly recommend it and will sure be back!
"
3952428,29325113,2015-04-06,23126118,Sarah,"The space was exactly as listed and Liz did a great job of making sure we got settled. She included a map of Austin with some fun things marked, which was nice for tourists like ourselves. My sister and I had a great stay and would definitely be back. Thank you!"
3952428,30410874,2015-04-21,19180969,Shannon,"Liz was very accommodating. Whenever I needed anything, like scissors or an ice pack, liz helped me out.  The location was great, not too far from downtown and there is a nice walk along the river front nearby. Their dog barked whenever I came in, but I think that was more of an inconvenience for sleeping people than for me. Apart from the barking their dog was nice."
3952428,48779230,2015-09-28,4602454,R.N.,"What a lovely peaceful stay at Rebecca's home.  Rebecca was very accommodating when my check-in was pushed back due to transport issues.  And, after a warm welcome and quick tour of her place, so I'd have my bearings in the morning, I felt completely settled and comfortable.

Rebecca was very responsive via text and had great advice when I was making choices for the day.   But I also was given plenty of space and privacy for sleepy mornings.  

Her home is a ten minute walk (shorter than my walk to work) to super delicious iced americano's - and all the good fun hubub of Southern Congress.  And if you're comfortable on the b-bikes (Austin's Bike-share - they're like tanks to ride) bring your helmet - there's a b-bike station out front of the coffee shop.  

All my ""local"" friends said I was staying in a great location and were happy to meet me in Souther Congress.  The two nights I took a cab home from downtown it was about $10-$11 with tip.  But it was also really easy to grab rides with friends staying in downtown hotels since it's only a 5min-ish drive.

Super plus!  Recycling and compost!  

Overall - very peaceful household.  Kind, laid back, good people."
3952428,49447203,2015-10-04,25525008,Rodrigo,"We just got back from a three day stay at Rebecca's home in Austin where we attended the ACL festival at Zilker Park. Rebecca was a terrific host! She met us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the house, showed us how to get to the boardwalk by the river and gave us great tips and directions. Her home is charming and the room quiet and spacious.  The location is ideal for visiting the South Congress area, the river and Zilker park. We very much enjoyed our stay! Claire, Rebecca's dog, was super well behaved and lovely to be around."
3952428,49778573,2015-10-06,38969337,Patricia,Rebecca was very welcoming and her home is so beautiful and unique. The location was perfect to get to zikler park!
3952428,50628937,2015-10-13,22300190,Joseph,"Neat neighborhood.  Near B-Bikes that we drove all over Austin.  

Many food trucks within walking distance.  

I recommend you get a pass for the B-Bikes (bicycle sharing).  We rode them all over town to ACL Music Festival, Whole Foods, etc. 

Make sure you eat at Home Slice if you are a pizza lover and  Torchy's Tacos if you love tacos. 

Rebecca did a great job.  She even cooked authentic breakfast tacos for us and took the time to make sure all our questions were answered about everything Austin. "
3952428,52055143,2015-10-26,41415918,Tess,"Rebecca was very welcoming and friendly. We were out of the house a lot, so we didn't get a change to really chat, but our experience was very positive overall. It was unexpectedly raining heavily in Austin this weekend. She let us borrow an umbrella which was great. Highly recommended."
6445690,33333223,2015-05-26,33862653,Eric,My wife and I had a great time in this condo. The condo was just like the pics. Maria was great on giving every bit of info you could need for her place. She was great answering any questions I had. I have found our new place from now on when we stay in Austin!  
6445690,35422068,2015-06-18,11550996,Scott,"Lovely, super clean modern space, just as described. There was a (very minor!) wifi issue but the hosts cleared it up quickly and graciously. Love it."
6445690,35720743,2015-06-21,2215751,Christian,"Far exceeded expectations!  The place is beautiful...modern and new furnishings. Loved it!!! Complimentary coffee, snacks and toiletries, very nice touch.  Amazing location close to everything and walking distance to several great restaurants.  We will definitely choose this location for all future stays in Austin."
6445690,36581823,2015-06-29,14932939,Jessica,The apartment was clean and wonderful! Walking distance to a ton if restaurants and bars. Morning breakfast tacos at Quickie Pickie are a must! I wanted to move in by the time I left! 
6445690,37334590,2015-07-06,33721386,Kerry,"This my first time using AirBnB and it couldn't have been better. Maria and James where excellent, contacting me regularly before my booking to ensure that my stay exceeded my expectations; and remaining in contact during my stay. The place was amazing, clean and modern with everything you could need when your travelling. Set it the heart of the East side, it was close to awesome restaurants and bars, but just far enough from the hussle and bustle to make you feel like a true local. I can not recommend it highly enough. I will definitely be returning to Austin in the future, and I will certainly be staying with Maria and James again!"
6445690,49425217,2015-10-04,5838282,Amanda,"Maria and James were very accommodating and quick to answer whenever we had a question before and during our stay. Finding the apartment was super easy and it really is in a great location. $3-4 uber to get to the bars on 6th St or Rainey St. Walkable places nearby to get food, water, etc. They leave information with recommendations on places to eat and see and do as well. The apartment looks exactly as pictures and functioned great for our needs! "
6445690,50269639,2015-10-11,9080602,Erin,"Maria and James has a great apartment minutes from many coffee shops, restaurants and bars! It was a great location to stay at for ACL as it was easy to get to 6th Street and Zikler Park. Everything inside looked exactly like the photos, was super tidy and clean. I would definitely stay with Maria and James again when I visit Austin next!"
5375961,28177523,2015-03-19,87438,Mike,"Michael's place was great, and he was very flexible even with my very early arrival time.  The condo is located close to Guadalupe with dozens of coffee shops with live music, restaurants and bars.  

It's also just a quick 10 min uber/lyft/drive to 6th st where most of the events were.  Overall great location and nice apartment."
1296548,27788944,2015-03-11,29069697,Reuben,Matt's place is covenient to downtown and backs up to a creek in a quiet neighborhood. He was super responsive to texts. Would stay with again!
1296548,28082234,2015-03-17,27484326,Chris,"Matt is a fantastic host and goes above and beyond to ensure you're comfortable. He was highly responsive, pleasant and accommodating. Matt's home is beautiful and comfortable with all the amenities of a modern home. In fact, a number of our Uber drivers commented on how nice the house looks from the outside when picking us up. 

From the gift basket in the bedroom to the instruction manual document sent prior to our arrival, Matt has it all figured out and will make anyone's stay a pleasant experience."
4234873,30363865,2015-04-20,423576,Jessica,"I had a great time at Nancy's listing! Everything was 100% as described. It was clean, stocked with towels and even had a full washer and dryer! The neighborhood was fantastic and quiet. There was a little mini mart type grocery store about 5 minutes walking distance that came in super handy. Nancy was very helpful and responded quickly when I had questions. Everything went on without a hitch! I would definitely stay here again in the future. "
2371846,10847353,2014-03-10,2576503,David,"Excellent Host, Very Accomodating, Comfortable Bed, all around a great place to stay and walking distance to South Congress. We will return."
2371846,10909670,2014-03-12,5167188,John,"The location was great and Pam could not have been more accommodating.  The room was clean, private, and furnished with all of the things I needed for my stay in Austin.  I would definitely stay here again.  "
2371846,11011605,2014-03-17,140593,SamANTHA,"What a great place!  Close to all the action (I was in Austin on business for SXSW), but quiet and peaceful.  Pam was a courteous host and her hospitality goes above and beyond the norm.  "
2371846,11332056,2014-03-30,13089251,Jess,"We had a great girls weekend in Austin. Finding Pam's bnb was such a lucky find! The location is perfect! A safe, short stroll through a super cute neighborhood. Pam was an excellent host and made us feel totally comfortable. Thanks for everything and we will be back someday! "
2371846,11559382,2014-04-07,11082563,Erin,"This is a gem and anyone wanting to be in the heart of So Congress but still hear the birds chirp will love this place!  Pam is a sweetheart who made us feel so welcomed and looked after.  I will be returning and hoping the dates work that I can stay here every time.  You won't regret it, you might actually regret not staying here!  "
2371846,11720860,2014-04-13,13383626,Sherman,Had a wonderful time and could not have asked for a better place to stay or a better host! Thanks Pam for your hospitality. The room was neat and clean and when we arrived a cold beer was waiting. My next time in Austin I will return to the Roof Terrace Loft!
2371846,11782305,2014-04-14,14092764,Linda,"The Roof Terrace Loft was a treat to stay in. It is in a lovely shaded area surrounded by beautiful trees. The room was fabulous, very well appointed and equipped. Very comfortable and appealing. Pam is friendly and very welcoming. She helped us out with local information.
I would highly recommend this stay. A great place and a great area.
Thanks Pam."
2371846,13488256,2014-05-28,12995262,Randall,"Pam's flat was ideal - in the heart of the best part of town, tucked into a quiet neighborhood on a quaint street, cozy, and with all the amenities you want. Pam was a terrific host - helpful, thoughtful, respectful, and down to earth. We absolutely loved our weekend in Austin and I think that her place - as  comfortable and central as it was - played a huge part in that. We didn't rent a car for the weekend but were able to do so much by foot - Magnolia Cafe, Guero's taco bar (music and dancing and margaritas), Continental Bar, Amy's Ice Cream, bike rental,  funky shops, Barton Springs Pool, the bats, and so many other restaurants/bars. I'd go back in a heartbeat and recommend her place to my best friends."
2371846,18727233,2014-08-31,3956261,Jeremy,"Pam was an excellent host. She'd thought of everything, including umbrellas for us to use when a thunderstorm seemed to threaten our evening plans. This place is quiet and secluded but also right in the middle of South Congress. Highly recommended!"
2371846,18837012,2014-09-01,18773633,Carrie,"A very warm and friendly place to stay for the weekend. The room was very nice, quiet, and secluded with private access. Within walking distance to all of the cool places on South Congress.  Our host, Pam, was exceptional while very well prepared to make us feel at home. We will return when we make our next trip to Austin. 
"
2371846,20022222,2014-09-22,19004158,Kenneth,"Our first airbnb experience and it was a real winner.  The place was spotless and perfect for the two of us. We could walked to all the downtown buzz spots. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay for an Austin city visit.
Ken and Margot"
2371846,20449277,2014-09-29,12644985,Dorothy,"We have stayed at a few AirBnBs and this was the best so far. The location is fantastic; you can walk to the South Congress area very easily. Lots of great restaurants and bars very close to the house. The house is adorable itself...very nicely appointed and Pam has thought of everything. There is a fully stocked mini fridge, coffee for the morning, and lots of toiletries (Molton Brown shampoo  :-)!). It was very clean and Pam provided a lot of great recommendations. We will absolutely be back for more visits!"
2371846,21602687,2014-10-20,21561875,Elise,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't imagine it going any better!!! My Dad came to visit me in Austin for 4 days, and I didn't think he would get the full ""Austin"" experience at a hotel. This place is perfectly located to see all of the attractions, but also a nice quiet place to relax. Pam made this experience so enjoyable for him, stocking the fridge with local beer and the popular Topo Chico sparkling water :) I would give this a 10/10 and recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect Austin treetop bungalow. 

-Elise"
2371846,22311250,2014-11-03,22057301,Virginia,"We were welcomed with an enthusiastic smile and lively personality which immediately set the tone for our weekend.  The homes' exterior was beautiful and the inside of the room was just as lovely.  Clean, comfortable, all the amenities 2 girls need. The home was literally a few blocks away from shops and restaurants and to our primarily reason for coming into town, my brother's wedding location. We had a lovely time. "
2371846,22603613,2014-11-10,9358180,Delynn,"Our stay at Pam's darling place truly exceeded our expectations. The furnishings, linens and toiletries were top of the line, and everything was extremely clean and comfortable. We lucked out with the most gorgeous weather so we enjoyed the terrace and literally walked or rode bikes everywhere we went during our weekend stay. I'd recommend the City Bike rentals that are located all over the city. Fun adventure!
Pam is the perfect host - friendly and caring, but giving us as much space and privacy as we wanted.  There is no doubt that we will stay at Pam's on our next visit to Austin."
2371846,24547085,2014-12-30,8517966,Fotini,"Three words to sum up: Location, great room and southern hospitality! We had a car but we enjoyed being able to walk to SoCo shops in minutes. Pam had stocked up the mini bar, gave us umbrellas for the rain and made sure the heating was appropriate. Room was clean and bathroom was well equipped. Loved the Texas/Austin books in the room. Pam was a great host! We would recommend and definitely stay here again!"
2371846,24961903,2015-01-04,17348791,Agnes,"We had a lovely stay at Pam's terrace loft.  The room was cozy, clean, fresh and stocked with plenty of fluffy towels and many shower options.  She even left out umbrellas when it was forecasted to rain.
And the location was perfect; strolling distance away from many Soco attractions"
2371846,25581687,2015-01-19,24329658,Olivia,"I HIGHLY recommend staying with Pam! She is friendly, flexible and accommodating. She gave us a great list of things to check out in the neighborhood, and the room we stayed in was beautiful and very clean. "

Pam was a great host who added some really nice touches to our stay.  The location was absolutely perfect.  We will surely stay here again, thanks Pam for being a great host!"
2371846,27021482,2015-02-23,20598440,Julie,"Pam was such a warm and hospitable host. Her place could not have been more perfect for the two of us. It was a short walk to South Congress, one of the coolest streets in Austin. She left information for cool places to dine, enjoy drinks and music and also recommended some new sites to visit, like the The Graffiti Wall. She even left us a couple of Texas beers to make our out of town guest get a real taste of Texas! She was so pleasant and friendly to talk to. We intend to come back and visit again soon. "
2371846,27552878,2015-03-07,8355216,Sam,"Pam was the perfect host. She made sure I had everything that I needed and was so warm and inviting. The space was really cute and very close to lots of really great bars, restaurants, and shopping. It's a 20ish minute walk or a $5-7 uber ride to downtown - so easy! Pam also makes sure the space is equipped with toiletries, drinks, coffee, and snacks. I had such a great experience here! "
2371846,27773559,2015-03-11,26107308,Elizabeth,"Pam's space is in a great location, close to restaurants and shops. Beautiful decor, very clean and everything is in working order. Pam is lovely and she even had a few welcome drinks in the fridge and a great coffee machine for the mornings. We had a flight at an unfortunate time and Pam's husband Wallace, was vey kind to drive us to the airport at 4.30 in the morning. This is a great place to stay!"
2371846,28068842,2015-03-17,24631926,Cory,"I had an excellent time staying at Pam's house. The place was spotless when I arrived. The location was unbelievable, right off of congress street which is close to a number of great restaurants and shops and only a mile walk away from downtown. The house had a completely private entrance which made it feel just like an upscale bed and breakfast. All in all it was worth every penny! Thanks Pam "
2371846,28460312,2015-03-24,1636326,Rubi,"We had an incredible stay with Pam over SXSW. 
The place is immaculately clean, with all the amenities you could need (fast wifi, coffee machine, bar fridge, towels, bathroom goodies and an amazing bed!)

The location for SXSW was perfect, just outside the hustle of downtown, but easily walkable to and from (25min walk to convention centre from the front door). As its situated in Soco, you can also walk 3min to find more SXSW show cases on South Congress. We never felt unsafe coming home after SXSW in the early hours. 

Pam is an absolute southern gem, very accommodating and made us feel right at home. She made sure we had everything we needed, was just a text away if we didn't and gave us a bunch of tips on the local area, maps and can numbers. I'll be encouraging friends and family to go to Austin just to stay with her there! "

Pam was an awesome host as she went beyond our expectations to familiarize us with the area, and to make sure we were comfortable and settled.  Her house is clean, beautifully decorated, and in a great location.  We will stay there again when we have another need to travel to that side of Austin. "
2371846,30294478,2015-04-20,28215001,Christian,"Wonderful, Wonderful!!!  This rental is perfect, clean, and decorated beautifully!!  The location is right off of S.

2371846,31383822,2015-05-04,31820731,Kristin,"Pam is a wonderful and sweet host. The Terrace Loft is exactly as described. It is spacious with a very nice bathroom and beautiful patio area to sit and enjoy the Austin weather! The bed is comfortable and the rooms have Wifi if you need to get any work taken care of. The neighborhood may be a bit tough for an Uber driver to find (no outlet street), but it is within a short walking distance to South Congress where there are tons of bars and restaurants. The neighborhood is very cute and is family friendly and there is a small green walking trail basically next door to Pam's home. Everything about this residence was above and beyond what we could've hoped for. We would absolutely stay here again!"
2371846,32905383,2015-05-23,2600005,Michael,"So, this was honestly the nicest, most well-appointed airbnb experience we have had. I can't say enough about how comfortable the accommodations were and the setting/location was amazing. We were able to walk to all of the wonderful restaurants and attractions on nearby S. Congress and then return to the treetop oasis. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Pam for being an amazing host. "
2371846,33218644,2015-05-26,24912479,Francois,"Pam is very welcoming and professional host. 
The location is perfect. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, but close to great restaurants and live music. Cycling to downtown takes about 10 minutes. 
The roof terrace loft is very comfortable and squeaky clean. 
Highly recommended!

2371846,45965808,2015-09-07,18006258,Alyson,"I give this place a 10 out of 10.

Perfect location (5 min walk to congress)
Beautiful patio space 
Comfy bed
Great bathroom
1000 special touches

Pam has really thought of everything. From local beers in the fridge to citronella intense placed by the front door. She is a delight and her home is fantastic. "
2371846,49175774,2015-10-01,44959153,David,Pam was great and accommodating from the time of my arrival.  She had everything in place you could ever need to make your stay enjoyable.  The place was immaculate and the location is perfect for walking to the South Congress area.  The neighborhood is very quiet and perfect for a relaxing stay.
2371846,49606158,2015-10-05,39278440,Jeff,Great experience.   It was my first time to use airbnb.  I highly recommend Pam's place.
2371846,50613980,2015-10-13,6348919,Jack,Lovely property. Great host. Great location. Very helpful.
2371846,52040374,2015-10-26,22926793,Jake,Second time at this location and again it did not disappoint.  We were very early and Pam was very accommodating!   Great space and great location.  
2371846,53006528,2015-11-03,31108126,Dorian,"Pam was easy to communicate with and very welcoming.  She met me when I arrived, showed me around, had lots of great local information available, and even brought me an umbrella and some gumbo when I was trapped by a downpour.  The room has everything you could want or need, lots of towels and toiletries, and a very comfortable bed.  The location is great - convenient, walkable, but on a very woodsy street that feels like a retreat from the city.  I would enthusiastically recommend this place."
4174762,20974805,2014-10-08,21976495,Cherliza,"This was the perfect place for my trip. Located in a great spot for walking around SoCo and just a quick ride from the airport. The house had a great kitchen which made cooking each night really easy.  A really lovely outside area as well! 

"
4174762,21236362,2014-10-13,19812283,Lindsay,"This house is in the perfect location! Right off of South Congress, it is walking distance to all of the popular shops and restaurants and only a short cab ride downtown. The house is small but accommodates many--you can comfortably sleep six if you're not planning on spending a lot of time hanging out in the home during the day. It also has a large fenched in yard...perfect for a dog! Top Trip's staff were professional and easy to communicate with. I would definitely stay at this property again. "
4174762,22527841,2014-11-09,233411,Kaitlin,What a awesome little place to stay... super clean and really comfy beds.  The Top trip staff are fantastic to work with and respond promptly.  Thank you for a great place to stay in Soco!
4174762,22989229,2014-11-19,23214135,Donna,Perfect little house in a hip area. Walking distance to great coffee and good eats and shopping. Couldn't have asked for a better location for our first Into to Austin. Highly recommended. 
4174762,25557221,2015-01-19,25348213,Cassie,"The host was very helpful with the welcome packet, directions, nearby attractions etc. The house is super cute inside and out. It's great location to South Congress. We were able to walk to shopping and restaurants. "
4174762,26452825,2015-02-13,26023787,Amy,"I rented this home for a quick trip with girlfriends to Austin and it was PERFECT!  The home is cozy and really conveniently located in the SoCo neighborhood.  We walked everywhere.  Everything we needed was provided for in the home, including coffee with ""to go"" cups.  This is a much better option than a hotel, as we were able to hang out together in our pj's.  I highly recommend this home."
4174762,26919307,2015-02-22,11656290,Laura,"I spent the weekend in Austin with 4 of my best gal pals and this house was the perfect space for us! It's conveniently located, clean and the our host, Kalyn, was helpful and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better place to call home for the weekend. "
4174762,31699607,2015-05-09,28342188,Eileen,"The listing description was very accurate. The location was AMAZING- it was just 3-4 blocks from restaurants, coffee shops, and vintage shops. The bungalow was very clean and the AC was a great. The beds were super comfortable as well. I would definitely stay here again. "
4174762,32878202,2015-05-23,24492888,Caitlin,"The host was quick to respond to any questions regarding the house rental.  The house is in a really great location, walking distance to HEB and Lucy's Fried Chicken.  It was really easy to access I-35."
4174762,34815417,2015-06-12,6170264,Kevin,"My experience with Top Trip and at the bungalow were great! Incredible location, easy checkin, wonderful home.  Would definitely stay here again."

4174762,35727175,2015-06-21,35477765,Hannah,"Great location right off South Congress! Everything was within walking distance. The house was as described; clean, cozy and easy to access. Everything ran smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would definitely stay here again in the future."
4174762,40534130,2015-07-31,816254,Shari,This little house was perfect!  It was very comfortable and the location can't be beat.  We were allowed a late check out which helped us out so much.  The communication was excellent.  Highly recommend!
4174762,41094841,2015-08-04,19424579,Danielle,"We loved staying at this adorable bungalow, it was perfectly spacious for the four of us, and we loved having the outside patio. "
4174762,46085243,2015-09-07,14133387,Rosita,"The place is perfect! Super cute house with a really nice deck to have coffee in the morning, less that 10 min walk to restaurant and bars. "
4174762,48307854,2015-09-25,14732776,Shadiya,"We had a great time at this clean, comfortable and stylishly decorated home. The host kindly allowed the four of us check in early (thank you!) and a detailed information kit was left for us. The house was spotless and perfectly located just off South of Congress, which is a great part of Austin if you love cool bars, cafés, restaurants and quirky shopping. It was also a short drive to Downtown. Oh and the king size bed was absolute HEAVEN to sleep on - so comfortable! Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!"
2442092,10950488,2014-03-14,396911,Zac,Great host in a pinch during SXSW! Would stay again. Fairly great spot to get downtown. 
2442092,15419852,2014-07-08,17021768,Devon,"Dylan was great, we had a bit of a rough time getting to Austin but once we finally got there it was just amazing. Dylan had left us something to eat and drink which was really nice after our long journey over. The place was clean, the listing was exactly as it was described, if not better. The location was great, we used car2go and there were parking spots with cars right outside the place at all times which was really convenient - one night we even walked home from downtown. It was also nice and quiet at night which was great as each day was jam packed so having a good nights rest was amazing. All in all, I highly recommend staying at Dylan's sweet bachelor pad!"
2442092,16331475,2014-07-25,6017809,Robert,Solid place to crash in Austin. Good location. Great amenities. Even a beer in the fridge for my arrival. 
2442092,16555070,2014-07-29,11292843,Liz,"Dylan's apartment was the perfect place for my husband and I stay on our overnight trip to Austin.  It was exactly as described in the listing, and Dylan was relaxed about our arrival and departure times (which were up in the air) and extremely easy-going.  Though he said he would leave the key for us, he was actually there when we arrived and very welcoming.  He offered us a beverage, turned on the a/c and had us make ourselves comfortable while he wrapped a few things up.  We were pleased to discover that his apartment complex has free parking and a pools, and a bus to downtown just steps away.  He also responded to all my inquiries before and during our stay very quickly and politely.  I would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely come back! "
2442092,16964594,2014-08-04,19194625,Cassidy,Dylan's place was great! Very clean and neat. Literally 10 minutes from 6th street. Easy access to i35. 
2442092,18775967,2014-08-31,20647419,Oisin,"Great place to stay, exceptionally helpful and friendly guy; very tidy apartment and he had lots of clean towels, showers products and soaps out for us; even had a cold beer, bananas and orange juice for us.  Great safe location. Much better than staying in any hotel."
2442092,20796114,2014-10-05,8778360,Linh,"The host was great.  Left beers,  water and Toiletries for us.  Apartment is about 8 min drive from downtown Austin.  The apartment is good if you want a place to just sleep and leave your stiff.   Definitely need a car or use a ride service to get to the better areas.  "
2442092,21864482,2014-10-25,3519403,Elle,"Dylan very helpfully accommodated my last minute request for 1 night after other arrangements fell through.  He was very responsive via email, and his 1-bdrm apt was cozy and clean and centrally located for anyone visiting Austin."
2442092,22004139,2014-10-27,19546407,Stephanie,"Dylan was AMAZING! From booking to the end. He even left us some OJ and granola bars :) then I was an idiot and left my iPad he meet us after the fact and returned it safely. Phew, I would def stay there again. The location was perfect the apartment was great and had all the amenities we wanted"
2442092,22188425,2014-11-01,11998550,Claire,Dylan's apartment was great! Very clean and tidy. There was even orange juice and granola bars waiting for us! Dylan made us feel right at home! 
2442092,22242203,2014-11-02,21645785,Ahmad,Great host! His place was exactly how the pictures described. Even had OJ and Granola bars for us. I will definitely be seeing you again!
2442092,28084347,2015-03-17,2946905,Maurice,"I'm so glad I discovered Dylan's rental just in time for SXSW! Dylan had OJ and bagels available for breakfast, there were toiletries from L'Occitane in the bathroom, there was a full selection of entertainment (Netflix/Amazon Prime) on the big flat screen TV, and the bed was AMAZING. It was also nice and quiet, even though it was pretty near all the festivities of SXSW. Thanks for helping make my stay in Austin a great one!"
2442092,31493436,2015-05-05,27792588,Nicki,"I was pretty disappointed by our stay at Dylan's apartment. I reached out to him relatively last minute but after he responded saying he could accommodate us, I figured it would be ok. When we arrived, the apartment was not up to the standards we were expecting (and that I have experienced at other airbnbs)- the apt was messy, trash wasn't taken out, bed wasn't made, no towels left out, etc. We then asked to be refunded for our last few nights which he said was not possible. I did appreciate that he went through an extra effort to accommodate us so last minute but based off our experience I don't think I would recommend staying here. "
2442092,33045109,2015-05-24,22070188,Chris,"Dylan's apartment was perfect for a weekend getaway in Austin. Located extremely close to some of Austin's best activities/parks/restaurants. Easy access to the highway; only took us a few minutes to get to downtown.

The apartment was clean and essentials were provided. Dylan was prompt in his response and was non-invasive (though he was available for any needs). I would recommend his place!"
2442092,47576361,2015-09-20,42607123,Kimberly,Everything was perfect! Dylan kept in contact to ensure all was well. Thanks for a great AirBNB experience. 
2442092,47848601,2015-09-21,30560222,Brandon,"Dylan's apartment was awesome! Can't say enough good things about the experience. He was easy to get ahold of and made us feel at home. The apartment was clean and he even went the extra mile by leaving out muffins for the morning! We stayed at Dylan's for a Texas football game, and the location was definitely convenient. Would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Austin!"
2442092,49480114,2015-10-04,9224943,Charlene,"Dylan's apartment was just as described, and with clear communication from Dylan himself! Parking is an abundance (apartment complex), key was under the mat, and we were even welcomed with some breakfast muffins and snacks. Very easy stay especially since it was my first experience using AirBnB!"
2442092,50281781,2015-10-11,39730360,Aleisha,Dylan provided the perfect accommodations for me and my boyfriend to visit Austin for the ACL festival. There were fresh sheets and towels waiting for us along with complimentary soaps and snacks and beverages. The apartment complex is fairly quiet and a very short ride to downtown Austin. This was our first Air BnB experience and we are very pleased.
2442092,51226278,2015-10-18,29327350,Laura,"This was our first Airbnb experience and let me just say that Dylan made it super easy for us. He also went above and beyond supplying beer, yogurt, muffins and toiletries for us. The place was clean, close to 6th street, and had a very comfy bed!! "
8524165,50537147,2015-10-12,45238784,Alec,"Though my first experience with Airbnb, I can say with confidence that my stay exceeded even my most optimistic expectations. From the moment we arrived, Abby treated us as welcomed guests on her property. The cottage was immaculately clean, and boasts a full kitchen and washer & dryer, making this location perfect for a more extended stay (though we were in Austin for only two nights). 
Additionally, the location was incredibly convenient, as we were able to walk to Zilker park in about 15-20 minutes, thus avoiding the gridlock caused by the Austin City Limits festival. This cottage offered tremendous comfort and privacy, and is situated in a truly beautiful neighborhood. When I do visit Austin again, I will be sure to check on the availability of this unit first, as our stay at Abby's cottage was a truly enjoyable experience."
962639,6471824,2013-08-13,7778905,Mike,"The house was super cute, located conveniently on a bus line, and perfect for our needs. We didn't get a chance to meet Ruth in person, but she was very accomodating to our arrival and departure schedule and left helpful instructions at the house to help us get around town and find things to do. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
962639,7673502,2013-09-29,3286044,Kevin,I had a great stay at Ruth's place. The location can't be beat and the convenience of a dishwasher and washer/dryer in the place was a big plus! I would stay there again for sure.
962639,8638425,2013-11-10,8968156,Mark,"We had a wonderful time staying at Ruth's place in Hyde Park.  She was a great host, always responded quickly, and gave a lot of great information about the house, the neighborhood, and Austin.  We really loved her house -- it was really comfortable, clean, and colorful.  A nice backyard with a patio.  Lots of great decor - Tibetan and Nepalese art, stained glass, photographs.  We cooked all week long (except for exploring food trucks) and the colorful kitchen had everything we needed.  Ruth was incredibly considerate, too -- we were traveling with our one-year old and she put childproof locks on all the kitchen cabinets, it made for a really child-friendly and anxiety-free time in the house since we could have our one-year old roam freely. 

Hyde Park is an awesome location, too.  Historic neighborhood, tons of really cool bungalows, great restaurants, grocery store, bakery, food trailers, and homemade doughnuts all within a pleasant, 15-minute walk.  I took the bus downtown (one bus, #7, only a 15-20 minute ride) for a conference and it was a breeze.  We really recommend it, it was a perfect location to use as a base for exploring the rest of Austin.  Take her advice and go to the beer store down the street, tons of fun.  

In short, we'd stay here again in a second, we highly recommend the house and Ruth as a host."
962639,10919285,2014-03-13,11181121,Linda,"Ruth's place was absolutely ideal for attending SXSW. Her house is in a great neighborhood and we took the bus into downtown Austin every day to attend SXSW and it worked out perfectly. The bus stop is almost in front of her house. Who could ask for more?
Her house is very comfortable and is decorated in a delightful, eclectic style. The bed was so comfortable we wanted to take it home with us! Ruth had thought of everything we needed (even left a basket of toiletries for us!). 

Ruth was easy to communicate with, even when she was out of the country for most of our stay. The combination locks on the doors were so easy to use and we didn't have to worry about keeping up with a key (or losing it!).
On a scale of 1-10, this place was definitely a 10! "
962639,11000221,2014-03-17,10730579,Kate,"Ruth’s home was cute, clean and incredibly homey. My sister and I had a fabulous stay and Ruth supplied everything we could ever need, i.e. maps, quarters for the bus, directions to the grocery/airport, tips for where to go, etc. Ruth was easy to reach and a real sweetheart to work with on our reservation and our stay. Definitely will be looking to stay at her place on our next trip to Austin!"
962639,11894099,2014-04-18,9190279,Natalie,"My husband and I loved staying in Ruth's house! When we arrived there was wine, crackers, and cheese waiting for us. She also has toiletries set out so you are set if you happen to forget something. The location near 45th is perfect for getting around town, but you still get to experience the character of Hyde Park. Ruth was also very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at her house again, or recommend it to our friends."
962639,13179839,2014-05-21,8552547,Michael,"Our stay at Ruth's home was wonderful!  You can walk to a nearby market & for breakfast you can walk to Biscuits and Groovy.  The neighborhood is safe and the front porch is great for listening to birds, watching the twinkle of lightning bugs, or people watching. The house was clean, the kitchen has everything needed for cooking.  Ruth left us a special treat of crackers, cheese and beer.  The washer and dryer kept us from having to spend time at a laundry.  She provided Austin magazines, bus route information, local restaurant information, quarters to borrow in case you don't have exact change for the bus.  The living room is cozy with 2 recliners for relaxing after a day of sight seeing.  Should we ever have a reason to stay in Austin again we'd definitely want to stay in Ruth's house.  The house is bright and cheerful with so many windows.  The bed is comfortable and there's plenty of closet space & dresser drawers to store your clothes.
A real plus is being able to park in her driveway instead of on the street.  Ruth will respond quickly if you have questions."
962639,14878966,2014-06-28,3896310,Satomi,"Ruth's cottage was perfect; location, amenities, clean, and availability of hostess,  She left a welcome treat for arrival, thought of everything guests may need, and a super interesting and kind lady!!   Highly recommended.  Thank you, Ruth!"
962639,20158700,2014-09-24,19354070,Rebecca,"Ruth's place is lovely and exactly how the pictures show. She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and directions to everywhere we might need to go. Her place was super comfortable, clean, and well located. We would definitely recommend Ruth's place to visit Austin. "
962639,20826269,2014-10-06,7660373,Sioux-Z,"Ruth's house is exactly as described on the site.  She was very communicative and helpful involving public transportation.  She left a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers and bottled water.  I had a friend come visit from Dallas for one night, and Ruth left a blow up mattress and bedding for my girlfriend, which was really nice.

I did ask Ruth if I could have a late check-out, as I got a late flight home.  Ruth told me it would be no problem, that she wasn't even returning to Austin until the next day.  The day of the departure, she text me and asked if I could leave an hour early.  I was already at a concert, my boyfriend was in San Antonio, and there was no way I could get back to the place, pack up and accommodate her request, which I thought was odd, since she assured me I could have a late check-out.  A deal is a deal.  I told her I couldn't and she said ok.  It still added a bit of stress to my last day.  

Ruth did come home and we met briefly.  I told her I took the trash out and put other stuff in the recycle bin.  I was about to leave and she reprimanded me for not emptying one of the trash cans and she proceeded to empty it in front of me.  I emptied 3 trash cans and missed one.  I have hosted many, many guests and I have never told them to empty the trash-- that is why they pay a cleaning fee.  And I certainly wouldn't chastise someone for it.  I also recommend bringing your own towels as Ruth's towels were pretty well worn.

"
962639,21291420,2014-10-14,20916107,Chris,"Fantastic location, all the amenities, and a gracious host who provided us with snacks, directions, and even quarters for bus fare. Clean, comfortable, and cozy. Plus a great front porch. Would definitely stay here again. "
962639,21674011,2014-10-21,21937748,John,"We absolutely loved staying in Ruth's Hyde Park house! You get exactly what you see in the pictures. No unwanted surprises. The neighborhood cannot be beat and Ruth made us feel very welcome with a bottle of wine, a basket of toiletries, and a list of any information we might need! We would definitely stay here again the next time we come to Austin!"
962639,21970590,2014-10-27,21955465,Simon,"We had a good stay at Ruth's. The house is in a good location within easy commute to down town, the bus stop is across the road. We were made welcome with cheese @ crackers & a cold beer on arrival. 
Ruth left plenty of info on transport, eateries, etc. I would recommend & if on Austin again would like to stay there. "
962639,22293805,2014-11-03,20223830,Danielle,"Ruth was not present when we arrived but she made us feel very welcome with a bottle of wine, cheese, and crackers. Her house is just as it appears - very cute and just what we needed for a couple of nights. The neighborhood is in a very convenient location and only about a 15 minute drive to downtown Austin. "
962639,23320947,2014-11-29,202038,Berney,"Ruth's house is cute, neat, and in a fun neighborhood.  I walked to the Flight Path Cafe for espresso in the morning. I walked to Fresh Plus for groceries in the afternoon. I did some baking while I was there. The kitchen had the things I'd forgotten - measuring spoons, measuring cups, and vanilla. 

Access was easy: the owner gave us a code to open the doors. 

I loved staying here. I'd certainly rent this place again. "
962639,27731797,2015-03-10,8826027,William,"Ruth's home was very cheerful and welcoming. She accommodated out needs for check in and check in out, and left us a bottle of wine, toiletries, and other sundries upon arrival. The neighborhood was very nice. Within walking distance there were restaurants, a coffee shop, and an eccentric convenience store with an excellent selection of craft beer and wine. We enjoyed staying a bit removed from the action of downtown, and cheap and easy bus travel made getting into the thick of things easy. "
962639,27998325,2015-03-16,19836138,Marie,"Ruth's home was very welcoming and very clean! It was in a perfect location with a great restaurant down the street, a small organic grocery and a great coffee spot.  Her home was comfortable and relaxing.  I was in Austin on business and it was great to come home after a busy day and relax on the front porch sipping a glass of wine that Ruth was so thoughtful to provide.  I would highly recommend Ruth's house for anyone visiting Austin - you will not find a better place!!!"
962639,28297915,2015-03-22,2424858,Ash,"If you want to feel like Austin is home then Ruth's house is the perfect place. I felt as though I was part of her family....she even left quarters for the bus! My boyfriend and I stayed during SXSW so it was a nice and quiet getaway. And there were so many great restaurants in walking distance, including Quack's (I will miss all your pastries) and Mother's Cafe. I would definitely stay at Ruth's house again. "
962639,30363181,2015-04-20,31222788,Whitney,Ruth was a great host! She left detailed notes in case we had any questions and she was even kind enough to leave a bottle of wine and snacks for us. The house was clean and we felt comfortable in the neighborhood. We had a wonderful visit. 
962639,30800560,2015-04-27,2356866,Steven,This home was absolutely lovely and just as nice as it appears in the pictures. It's in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood within easy walking distance to several cafes and is just a few minutes' drive from downtown. Ruth was very communicative and helpful. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
962639,33278645,2015-05-26,17893485,Almin,"Ruth was great! We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, few cold beers, and popcorn. Having had a rough drive through thunderstorms and a tornado warning, this felt just great! Even when the power went out on our first night, she answered our questions promptly via text! 

The neighborhood was quite beautiful with many good restaurants, bars, and coffee shops within a few minutes from the house. Ruth also left a lot of additional information on how to get around town, including exact change for the bus!

The house was pretty cozy and clean with the exception of the bathroom, which could have used a better scrub. Ruth had everything clearly labeled, which made the check-out pretty straightforward. Overall, a pretty solid place to stay!"
962639,34556359,2015-06-09,419812,Jean,We had a fantastic stay at Ruth's place! There were so many thoughtful touches including wine and popcorn on the kitchen table and some extra goodies in the fridge. We stayed with our two year old and Ruth went above and beyond and safety proofed the kitchen. Thanks so much!
962639,42063322,2015-08-10,5662831,Sinclair,My Parents loved the House.  Thanks so much!  They will definitely stay there again next time they are in town visiting us.
962639,50279578,2015-10-11,39368148,Caitlin,My host made us feel very welcome. Left a list of things to do and how to get around. Left us snacks and a bottle of wine. House was so cute and awesome neighborhood!
962639,52071099,2015-10-26,8297921,Bodil,"God kommunikation med Ruth. Meget informativ inden vi skulle komme. Vi fik endda lov til at komme lidt før, hvis vi ønskede det. 
Vi havde stor glæde af muligheden for at vaske og især tørre tøj. Det var en rigtig våd uge i Austin. Huset ligger i et dejligt område af byen med gode muligheder for at handle og få noget at spise. Bussen ned til byen holder næsten lige udenfor døren."
5648702,50298501,2015-10-11,31425119,Uzma,"The neighborhood was nice. The host was super sweet very welcoming and gave me lots if places to see and eat. Only 3 miles from the festival and with a rental car, life was keen. Very cute, authentically Austin house. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! "
8521285,50725252,2015-10-13,9967367,Joshua,"This apt was a very cute spot in a fantastic location. Clean, lots of sunshine, hosts were easy to contact and very responsive. We will fore sure stay here again next time we are in town. Thanks!"

140474,658387,2011-10-24,227678,Jamie,"Good communication from Pete, comfortable house with plenty of amenities, great neighborhood close to everything. Overall a very enjoyable stay. I only wish there was more outdoor area. There was a large shared backyard and front porch but no real outdoor hangout infrastructure. "
140474,713455,2011-11-13,803378,Danielle,"This is an adorable unit in one of Austin's prettiest neighborhoods. One bedroom is in a mini-loft/attic above the living area and the other is in the back by the kitchen so my roommate and I had a lot of space and privacy. The house is well-furnished with everything you could possibly need for a home away from home experience. Pete is a wonderful host, quick to respond to any of our queries prior to our stay, and I also liked that he lives just a few houses away from this unit, in case we needed to reach him for any issues. Fortunately, there were none! I'd definitely book this home again on my next visit to Austin!"
140474,932608,2012-02-20,1580903,Bridget,"This was the perfect 2 week stay in Austin! The space is a charming, comfortable, and private. The location is very convenient to downtown, UT, and walking distance from great eateries. Pete was a wonderful host who was very prompt in answering any questions that I had. This is a fabulous apartment and I'd definitely stay here again!"

140474,3539179,2013-02-14,1463301,Deidre,"We had a great time in this home!  It is beautiful and clean!  And I have a thing about bugs and for a whole month we didn't see one bug in the house!!  The host Pete made sure you had all the necessities of home and best of all being in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin, you can get up in the morning walk down the street and grab a cup of coffee, eat or shop!  I can't say enough about this place!  Austin we will be back!  And Pete we will call you again!  Yay!!!!"
140474,3577658,2013-02-18,471964,Camilla,"Beautiful space - Pete has revived this Hyde Park gem to perfection.  Super clean, high ceilings, and great vibe.  Even though our request to stay was super-last-minute, Pete was very responsive and able to mobilize us into the space.  "
140474,3823340,2013-03-18,5291397,Jeff,"This was the perfect place for us to crash during SXSW! The home is in a quiet area, is very well-maintained and SUPER clean!  Pete was totally accommodating with our last minute booking and was easy to contact, with prompt replies! I would definitely recommend this to friends and colleagues alike! "
140474,4457082,2013-05-06,115681,Diana,"Pete was easy to work with, quick to respond and attentive to details. The home is lovely and Hyde Park is gorgeous. "
140474,5106820,2013-06-12,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,The apartment is very clean and stylish.  We had a great stay.  Hyde Park is an excellent walking neighborhood with two good playgrounds for the kids.  We would stay here again!
140474,5527845,2013-07-04,1580903,Bridget,"This is my second time staying in this unit for an extended trip to Austin. The unit has undergone some renovations and is even more lovely than my first stay. The unit is quiet, private, and pristine. The added bonus is that it's in a fabulous neighborhood. Pete is a great and accessible host. I would definitely stay here again!"
140474,7177589,2013-09-09,2994651,Sai,The place looked spotless and the accommodations were exactly as described. The check in and check out was super seamless and Pete was attentive to all questions I had regardless of how silly they were. I highly recommend anyone to use Pete for their accommodations since I will be using him again as well.
140474,7738622,2013-10-01,7499860,Ron,"Pete is an excellent host.  He provided our passcode & access to the apartment early so we could have immediate access after our arrival.  The apartment is modern, sweetly clean, private and quiet.  The bathroom and kitchen are well stocked .  All the things we needed to make our trip complete.  In addition, the locale is in the Historic Hyde Park District and I recommend walking around the blocks enjoying the sights.  The nearby restaurants and coffee shops are absolutely deeelicious!!  Pete kept in touch with us via email if we needed anything and also emailed us a thank you.  A great host and a neat modern apartment.
 "
140474,8684892,2013-11-12,7774490,Olivier,"Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans cet appartement. Il est situé dans un magnifique quartier, très vert, très calme, et néanmoins proche du centre d'Austin. Il est bien équipé, les lits sont confortables.
Pete est très réactif en cas de questions ou de petit soucis. 
J'ai retiré une étoile car il faut absolument que tous les occupants aient le même rythme de vie. La chambre du haut n'a pas de porte et les autres lits sont installés dans la pièce qui sert de salle à manger (à coté de la cuisine). Donc il faut se coucher et se lever ensemble. 
Enfin il est entièrement meublé Ikea, on aime ou on n'aime pas."
140474,8880527,2013-11-23,2072732,Holly,"We had a wonderful stay in this Hyde Park home. We were in a pinch and booked the room on the same day we arrived, and Pete was very timely, efficient, and helpful at getting us settled. Would definitely stay there again! "
140474,11043238,2014-03-18,7970571,Ben,Just what we needed during our trip to sxsw. This house had plenty of space and slept 3 males easily. Much better than paying crazy prices for hotel rooms downtown and is close to the express bus that takes you to the festival. 
140474,14201207,2014-06-14,308730,Jacob,"Great experience. First unit was taken, so host recommended another. Very helpful! Nice place, lots of space, great furnishing. Hyde Park is a great neighborhood – easy walk to Juiceland and Mother's Cafe. "

140474,28076916,2015-03-17,18596461,Alexander,Pete's place was an awesome house to stay at. His attention to detail and his guests' comfort should be a lesson in hospitality to all the other AirBnB hosts in here. Loved the Piñata with all the goodies!
140474,34416789,2015-06-08,20066168,Martin,"The house was really nice, very characterful, my family stayed there for a weekend.  They had a great time.  Pete is a very efficient host, and Hyde Park is a lovely area to stay."
140474,51277038,2015-10-19,20066168,Martin,"Pete is very efficient and easily contactable, and responds quickly to any communication.  This is a lovely character property in the pleasant, tree-lined Hyde Park neighbourhood."
4400543,23041805,2014-11-21,23191530,Les,"Ryan contacted us immediately and was welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process. This house, in a quiet and high end neighborhood is gorgeous and the views spectacular. Tons of space. We enjoyed grilling each night and eating outside enjoying the view. Comfy TV room for hanging out. Guys loved the poker room. Rooms were comfortable. Appreciated the little touches like toiletries in the showers. Very convenient to downtown. Would definitely rent again. "
6662263,50407980,2015-10-11,4399506,Keely,"The Hyde Park Guest House was perfect! Tim and his wife were beyond kind and accommodating to us, and made us feel so welcome. The house had everything we needed and was nestled in their beautifully landscaped backyard, where we enjoyed some meals on the outdoor seating area. The house was clean, and there was even coffee and tea! So perfect. We can't thank you enough for your kindness and hospitality. We hope to stay with you again soon!

6662263,50609515,2015-10-12,178358,Michael,"Tim and his wife were very hospitable. They turned around the property very swiftly and everything was clean, comfortable, and peaceful.

6662263,51396130,2015-10-19,46398776,Ryan,"Tim and Amie were amazing hosts.  My girlfriend and I most definitely felt welcome and they were very accommodating and hospitable.  They let us use their bikes to cruise around Austin, which was our favorite part of our trip.  Their house and yard are beautiful! The guest house was perfect. We definitely recommend staying with them."
6662263,51847457,2015-10-24,46883128,Katie,"Owners were super nice and everything was clean, cozy and comfortable. Will definitely stay again!  Communication was also great."

6662263,52304399,2015-10-27,37690308,Joanna,The guest house was perfect. Tim accommodated us (and our doggie) on very short notice and had the house ready quickly. The room and the backyard were beautiful and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again.
6662263,52386426,2015-10-28,9998065,Genevieve,"I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Tim, but I really enjoyed my stay at their cozy guest house. There was a lovely bed, shower with great water pressure and strong internet connection. I wasn't able to use the bikes but I saw them outside. The check in process was simple and easy. 

Thanks for a great stay Tim! "
6662263,52554875,2015-10-30,29632171,Al,Tim made our anniversary getaway perfect! The guest house is perfect... so well done. He and his wife left us champagne to celebrate and recommended an excellent restaurant for dinner. We would definitely return and recommend  his place to our friends. 
6662263,53021100,2015-11-03,33523851,Stephanie,Loved the guest house for our stay overnight in Austin. The accommodations were comfortable and well thought through and the grounds very nice too. The coffee and Pearl Jam posters were nice touches. We would love to come back. 
366757,3773188,2013-03-13,4973611,Bjarke,"Both Edna and her husband are really nice people, very easy going and open to hosting a stranger. I was attending SXSW so I was home late and up early, and all I needed was a good clean place not to far from downtown - for that the place was perfect. If you are not into sharing toilet and bathroom with your host this is not for you, but I don't mind that. "
366757,3820404,2013-03-18,1843816,Gareth,"Awesome!  Very hospitable hosts.  Highly recommended. Great proximity to SxSW, especially if you grab yourself a bike.  Edna and Wayne were very gracious, checking in regularly to make sure my stay was comfortable and that I had everything I needed.  We kept different schedules so barely saw each other but when we did interact they were always helpful.  This was my ideal b n b.  Thanks guys."
366757,28125876,2015-03-18,17514982,Filip,"Amazing, very spacious and clean house in a safe neighbourhood. 5 minutes for a bus to the downtown.

Great pleace to stay for SXSW for 3-4 people."
366757,28310543,2015-03-22,23930484,William,"Edna was communicative from the outset - helpful, polite and patient.

We were met by her friend Cesar within 5 minutes of our arrival who showed us around and made us feel very welcome. Edna's instructions encouraging us to help ourselves to coffee, food from the fridge etc. was also much appreciated after a long journey from the UK.

The house was very clean and tidy, with access to clean towels. The beds were clean and comfortable, and a nice balcony out the back gave us time to unwind in the evening.

The house is in a quiet neighbourhood - so supplied quiet relief from the throngs of people downtown at SXSW - but only about 10 minutes at the most in a cab to downtown. It took us 15 minutes to get from Austin Bergstrom Airport, so the location is great.

Thanks Edna for a very comfortable stay! See you next year!"
5363008,28364097,2015-03-22,330895,Sean,"Fantastic apartment in Austin - well furnished, comfortable beds, and great vibe.  Mikelle was a wonderful host and made sure we were all settled in and gave us some nice tips on the neighborhood."

5363008,29790692,2015-04-12,16744757,Amy,My friends and I had a great experience! The condo was perfect and was even more charming in person. The location was great and very convenient. Mikelle was also a wonderful host and so accommodating. I will definitely book with Mikelle again for my next Austin visit.
5363008,30263676,2015-04-19,21544763,Marisol,"If you are visiting Austin and you need a place to stay-this is it! The home was absolutely amazing and aesthetically charming.  It was in a great location. Short drive to UT, 6th Street and all the local grubs. If you're wondering if it's in a bad neighborhood, it's definitely in a nice part of town. The home was really well kept and their taste in art is amazing. We noticed the Godard paintings and all the amazing pieces that made the home unique. Overall the home was great find. Thanks to Mikelle for the free Blue Moons. She communicated promptly and was very patient with my poor communication.  We plan to stay again when we return. Hopefully we did a good job of keeping Austin weird. Our guest and I had a great time. The starbursts were delicious also. "

Although we weren't able to meet in person, she was very responsive via text and always made sure that we had everything we needed. The condo was lovely and all of us loved calling it ""home"" for the weekend! It's location is definitely convenient and only a very short ride from downtown ATX; many places were also walkable. Everything was pretty much perfect and the Starbursts were the cherry on top :) I would definitely consider booking another stay next time I'm in Austin!"
5363008,33277751,2015-05-26,8137866,Albert,"Mikelle was an amazing host from the beginning of the trip to the end. Before coming in she checked in on us and asked about what we were looking to do in Austin. When we arrived, she had left us a multi-page handwritten note with a bunch of suggestions in Austin. Her place was fully stocked with everything from a tray of Starburst to Cards against Humanity. 
In addition, she was incredibly responsive! She came by 15 mins after we had texted her about a hairdryer with a brand new one! 
Overall, the place was amazing and fit the description perfectly. Mikelle's hospitality made it a truly memorable experience!"
5363008,51838732,2015-10-24,22089288,Amirali,We had a wonderful stay at Mikelle's lovely home. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated. Mikelle was very helpful and was a great host. I will definitely stay there again.

Highly recommended."
5240594,27601377,2015-03-08,477206,Isabel,"Gabrielle and Kyle were excellent hosts! They were friendly, very helpful and super relaxed. Their pup was so sweet as well.

We loved the feel of the house, retro and cool! Our towels and toiletries were laid out nicely for us. The space was clean and unique.

Our stay was short but enjoyable and we recommend Gabrielle and Kyle's place...definitely!"
5240594,27738516,2015-03-10,1628894,Lauren,"Gabrielle and Kyle were both incredible hosts. They offered the wonderful tips and advice on places to visit, things to see, even the best eateries.  Their home was beautiful, clean, welcoming and so tasteful. It was an easy stroll to fun restaurants, food carts, and B-cycle, which was a great way to see what Austin has to offer. 
I would highly recommend staying with them, and look forward to their visit to our part of the world! Fabulous people, five stars. "
5240594,35190737,2015-06-15,32709797,Ophelie,"Gabrielle and Kyle are the most welcoming people ! Their house is really comfy, tidy and cute. Close to every good spots to hang out, you would be easily able to walk down there. 
Young, dynamic and open minded people they would be pleased to tell you everything about the heart of Austin !
Their house is exactly as the description and really clean !
If I come back I would definitely love to hangout with them again ! 

Et si vous êtes français, Gabrielle se fera un plaisir de discuter avec vous in french of course ! 
Allez y sans aucun doute ! 
"
5240594,37423954,2015-07-06,28356956,Samantha,"Abby and Kyle made my husband and I feel very welcome.  They were accommodating of our last-minute request for a reservation.  They gave us great recommendations for around town and were the perfect balance of there and not-there.  You can interact with them as much or as little as you please.  Their dog Lulu was very sweet, chill, and lazy!  

I can't emphasize enough about the location and condition of their house.  $4-6 Uber trip from downtown (6th Street, Rainey Street, Congress).  I am stealing the overall awesomeness of their home decor for my own place.  Seriously, so very nice.   And a badass backyard to boot!  You will have to share a bathroom, but the bathroom is kept super clean and the shower head has the most amazing water pressure.

Stay here and you won't regret it."
5240594,40027582,2015-07-27,748715,Augustin,Beautiful house and great stay

5240594,50103550,2015-10-09,3740493,Samantha,Abby & Kyle are the best. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to stay while they are in Austin ~ especially if you are going to the convention center and want walkable distance yet out of conference hustle. The place is super cute and they make you feel like a regular housemate - warm and respected. 
5240594,50615552,2015-10-13,7485991,Natalie,"Abby and Kyle were the bomb! Their home is cozy, stylish, and they were very welcoming. We loved getting to know them, what an A+ couple. Their house is located in east Austin where there are great food options (hail east side king) and dive bars. The bike ride to town was about 20-25 minutes, there's a bus stop at the end of the street, and a cab ride will get you downtown in 10ish minutes. "
5240594,52233847,2015-10-27,12164156,Alex,"Our experience was really great with Kyle and Abby.  The house is very retro and cool with such a cute and friendly dog. We really enjoyed our stay there.

8467641,48157874,2015-09-23,38949020,Tom,"This was the best AirBnB experience I have ever had. Courtney was extremely helpful, she even had a flyer of her favorite places and things to do in Austin which was great. The property was very nice especially the back yard. It felt very secluded and private making it the perfect getaway! Great Host!"
8467641,48363456,2015-09-25,43694733,Robert,"I was extremely delighted with this house and the owners! It was so much better than staying in a hotel as I had before. Sitting on the porch in the mornings was a peaceful start to a great Austin, TX day. The kitchen is easy to cook and entertain in but we cooked outside on the smoker instead.The owners recommended some great spots for food and drinks that we never would have stumbled upon on our own. I will definitely try to get this place  when I find the time to visit again! You don't want to pass this place up."
8467641,48666313,2015-09-27,42721091,W,Courtney was a great host and even left me a gift basket when I got there. I enjoyed BBQn on the patio. We hit up a near by restaurant that was good too. The house is spacious and comfortable. I want to come back in January and bring some other friends.
2406307,10925854,2014-03-13,4428063,James,"Carrie was a first class host, I highly recommend. 

I used the spareroom for the SXSW festival. Carrie provided me with bathroom amenities, bottled water, some food in the fridge - which was all above and beyond the comfortable and tidy room. There was great contact throughout, for both house keys and recommending local places to go.

The house is on a quiet street, so it is a good place to rest your head after a busy day/night in the middle of downtown. 

It is 5-10mins from central downtown in a taxi, 20 mins on a (close) bus or a 45min walk.

Austin is an excellent place to visit for great music, bars and food - and I know there is much more to do and see. 

One to revisit...need to work on my two step first!"
2406307,11785880,2014-04-14,14122728,Michael,"The house had that cottage feeling, was nice and neat and had lovely old wooden floors - We were greeted by Artie (the dog) and he was a big teddy bear!"
2406307,14495540,2014-06-20,13283553,Rio,"Everything went smoothly and the room is as described.  Carrie stopped by once in awhile, but otherwise had the place to myself and roommates.  "

In addition, Carrie's spice assortment can rival grandma's kitchen. It's a steal when you factor in low cost, proximity to the city and Carrie's nice, open and eclectic personality. Her dog Arti, is also cool as F..."
2406307,28310399,2015-03-22,26859041,Owen,"Carrie is a wonderful host. She made me feel instantly welcome, and on my final night, she even serenaded me! The house, and bedroom are clean and comfortable. It's about 2.5mi away from town, which is walkable in about 35-40 minutes if the weather is nice. Alternatively, it's a 7 minute ride by car. "
2406307,30071631,2015-04-17,25285484,Andy,"Carrie was unwell when I arrived and had some trying house maintenance circumstances to deal with but despite that she went out of her way to make me and my friend feel at home
She gave great suggestions for places to see, entertainment and eating and was a pleasure to meet her and her friends
Carrie's place was comfortable and was great to meet her doggie Art!
A very cool way to visit Austin and not too far from the downtown area"
2406307,33208565,2015-05-25,1567644,Jason,"Carrie is a warm, welcoming host but, best of all, she was very responsive to my initial booking request.  It was an emergency and I needed a place to stay very quickly.  I sent a request in the morning and almost immediately, she replied and accepted.  The house is very cozy and in a quiet, well located neighborhood.  She is very accommodating and definitely would recommend her.  The dogs are friendly and the kitchen and bathroom well appointed.  "
2406307,37259692,2015-07-05,27743386,Mary Alice,"I highly recommend this place if you're looking to stay close to downtown Austin! Carrie was quick to respond to my request and her roommate Jena welcomed us and was very kind! The dog is such a sweetheart! The bed was super comfy, temperature nice and cool, and the entire apartment was very clean and cozy! I would definitely stay here again! "
2406307,37413283,2015-07-06,36698557,Lauren,Carrie's home was exactly what we expected. Very clean and seriously the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on.  Carrie's roommate Jena was so accommodating to our crazy 4th of July schedule. I'd definitely stay here again!
2406307,38666878,2015-07-17,12340779,Hethy,Carries is good. The air conditioning was great which was one of the most important things for me to get a good nights sleep.
2406307,39104762,2015-07-20,31634205,Travis,"As our first time using airbnb, Carrie was a great host. Her place was cozy and make us feel like home. Her place was close to the places we wanted to visit. Arthur was a character! We would not hesitate to stay their again. Thank you"
2406307,41048922,2015-08-03,34316544,Jorge,"The place was awesome, spacious and very clean. I loved the dog, he was extremely friendly, a big baby. The location was excellent, really close to the downtown area and 6th street. I really recommend it."
2406307,42080432,2015-08-10,40604119,Chris,My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay here. We had the room to ourselves and felt our privacy was respected. The host was gone but her roommate made us feel welcomed. The neighborhood was convenient to east downtown and overall a great first experience with AirBnB
2406307,44083957,2015-08-23,24383346,Khant,Wonderful place. Very well kept.  Host and her roommates are very friendly and provided us with everything we needed. 
2406307,45139237,2015-08-31,40537076,Mikhail,"My girlfriend and I stayed one night in the room that Carrie offered around the Austin area. It was a great experience and everything Carrie sad in her ad or in her communications with me was absolutely true. She does have a big lovable dog and a great house close to the downtown area. Carrie helped make our stay very enjoyable. She even offered some assistance with accessories that we did not account for packing for the trip. She was very nice and accommodating as well as being available for our needs and questions. There were other guests that stayed the same night that we did, however we really did not notice because there was minimal interaction with the other guests. The interaction was minimum due to our scheduled activities. I would rate the overall experience as excellent and would definitely recommend Carrie's room to another person or couple. If I had to provide one piece of feedback it would be to offer a room that locked. None of our personal belongings were ever tampered with, but I think some people would find more security in that. We felt completely safe during our stay, & I would have to say that would be the only piece of feedback that I could offer. Thank You Carrie! I will definitely consider rooming with you or guests another time and Austin."
2406307,47887645,2015-09-21,861911,Luke And Alyssa,Carrie was very nice and a great host. The bed was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend staying here and would do so again if we need a place in that area.
2406307,48958938,2015-09-29,40793233,Molly,"We stayed with Carrie for 4 nights and she was great. She was close to everything and recommended good restaurants to eat at. She has a big, lovable dog. If we come back to Austin we'd definitely stay with her again. "
2406307,49578931,2015-10-04,12363858,Christopher,"Great stay.  Loved the location,  the room, the hostess, they were all wonderful!   I would recommend this room for anyone trying to capture the essence of East Austin."
2406307,49824520,2015-10-06,21716822,Hagen,"My stay with Carrie was one of my best Airbnb experiences. As soon as I arrived I was swept up into Carrie's world of large animals, music & pizza - Carrie even serenaded us on the front porch. Carrie also was instrumental in getting me into ACL -which was wonderful.

It's hard to imagine having a more exciting, stimulating stay."
2406307,50353938,2015-10-11,24021237,Emily,"Carrie was a wonderful host. She made sure we were comfortable around her dog, Arthur, as soon as we arrived. We had everything we needed. Her house is in a great location and the bed is so comfy. Would definitely stay again. "
2406307,52197000,2015-10-26,39283237,David,"Carries house is a perfect place to stay when visiting Austin. Feels like you experience the authentic Austin as well as it is close to a lot of restaurants and bars, and a cheap ride with Uber or Lyft to downtown. We had a huge bed that was very comfortable and the house was very clean. Carrie and Arthur (the dog) was excellent host. We would definitely recommend it!"
2406307,52910799,2015-11-02,47045999,Dave,"I loved the location, the awesome dog who kept me company, the really large comfortable bed, and the very accommodating host. Carrie was very gracious when my friend's other plans fell through."
5729004,29900136,2015-04-13,24719839,Rey,"Will was an excellent host. I requested my stay around midnight the night before I arrived and Will had the place ready for me by the time I arrived in the afternoon. His place is unique and very chilled, which makes perfect sense.


 The next morning he made me and some other guests breakfast with eggs provided by his own chickens and we had a great conversation about art and the entertainment industry. It was such a blast that I actually stayed too long and had to skip a shower to get back to San Antonio on time. 

I really hope this list of is available the next time I'm in Austin. I loved this place. 
"
5729004,31684089,2015-05-08,2751123,Tarik,"a lovely country home and friendly cats and fresh eggs, great coffee with Will in the morning and very peaceful. 

I called Will on my way to the place to let him know that i wanted to make a mushroom omelette for dinner. will texted me a picture of fresh eggs from the farm that i could use...had a great time using the kitchen.

Will was a great host. Will stay there again."
5729004,33043719,2015-05-24,1403956,Nevada,Will offers a comfortable bed in a shared room. He is a busy guy but is very quick to respond to questions and checks in via text as needed. Kitchen was available and easy to use. The atmosphere is very laid back. 
5729004,33723779,2015-05-31,31821503,Karina,Will was super accommodating! He gave me very clear directions to his place and how to handle checking in. I had originally planned to arrive in the evening and he was gracious enough to let me come in that morning instead with only a day of being notified. His family was kind enough to offer me breakfast one morning. And were generally very generous and I had a great conversation with Karen.  I would definitely stay with Will and his family again!
5729004,35276349,2015-06-16,730404,MeiLi,"My partner and I stayed at Will and Karen's home for three nights during our stay in Austin. Will went out of town shortly after we arrived but he was very welcoming and hospitable when we did see him. We interacted with Karen and Coralina (their daughter) whenever we were hanging around and they were nothing but warm to us. We felt very welcomed in their home and they were even kind enough to provide us with breakfast a couple of mornings! We really liked how their home didn't feel like it was in the city at all and it had a lot of character. Because they were hosting other people as well that got there before we did, our sleeping quarters were not exactly what we were expecting. From the photos and descriptions it looked as if we were going to stay on the corner bed with a little more privacy, but when we arrived someone else was sleeping there and the bed was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. We ended up sleeping on the futon mat in the living room, which we really had no problem with. We were typically woken around 7 or 8am by their daughter, so for those of you who like to sleep in just keep that in mind. Overall we had a very positive experience staying with Will and Karen and would definitely recommend them!"
5511226,28096992,2015-03-17,28351119,Josue,"Anthony was great, he was there to receive me and he was always present to offer help."
5511226,28495256,2015-03-24,26339859,Gavin,This couple are amazing! Great little place to call home for however many days you are in this great city and legendary hosts. Very chilled vibe and always there to give you any help and advice. You will not be disappointed with your stay. 
5511226,49616748,2015-10-05,19400000,Yueming,"It was really nice to stay at this house. Everything went well. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Plenty of treasure in the house, lol. We loved reading that 1988 rolling stone magazine lol. I definitely recommend this place!"
5511226,50617079,2015-10-13,7616346,Melissa,"Me and my group absolutely had the best 4 days in Austin all thanks to Anthony and his wonderful house. It literally was a gong show :) The beds are super comfy, the neighborhood is cute and it's in a very good location. Close to the fun! The instruments and gong just topped the whole experience nicely! Will definitely stay here again the next time we all go to Austin :)"
6088588,49616414,2015-10-05,12305333,Garrett,Saurabh was a wonderful host! He was extremely accomodating and made our trip very convenient. The location is perfect with great access to Zilker.
6088588,50631631,2015-10-13,37058024,Rachael,"Saurabh was a fantastic host!! 6 of us stayed at his apartment for ACL and it was the perfect location for our trip! We were about a 10 minute walk to the festival (a beautiful nature walk right by the water) and a short uber ride to everything else! This was our first time using Airbnb and Saurabh made this such a pleasant 1st experience from the second I was interested in booking. He was always very responsive to my texts, he made sure my guests and I had everything we needed, and had some great suggestions of where to eat/what to do around Austin (since we are from Atlanta). The neightbourhood is beautiful, the apartment was great, overall we had a great time and I can't say enough good things. "
7651285,48639973,2015-09-27,29456050,Lakota,"Pablo was a wonderful host. He was responsive and very helpful. His home is very comfortable, clean, and modern. Although I was unable to meet him in person, he kept in touch during my stay and checked in everyday. I would not hesitate to stay here again! I had a wonderful time in Austin, and Pablo contributed greatly! "
7651285,50256093,2015-10-10,46011394,Allison,"Great place to stay in the hill country of Austin. The apartment was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Pablo made sure we were well taken care of and we would definitely stay there again."
5279951,26668916,2015-02-16,27698687,Randy,Booked just a couple of hours before showing up. Will responded right away with a booking approval. Once booked I was immediately supplied with reservation details along with the entry code. We showed late and were greeted by Will and his lovely wife Lilly. They are super laid back and we were honored to learn that we were their very first guests they had ever hosted. The room is just as described and the house along with the neighborhood is very quiet. Given the opportunity we would def stay again!
5279951,28374269,2015-03-22,29737662,Cooper,Wonderful experience. Great pets too !! Great hosts and will be back in the future ! 
5279951,49530198,2015-10-04,44925612,Ben,"Will and Lillie were wonderful hosts! I booked my stay only week in advance and got all the details I needed quickly. I was in town for a nearby conference and spent most of my time out of the house, but they made me feel right at home when I was there. I had a great time talking with them! The neighborhood was quiet, but getting downtown by bus was easy. Highly recommended!"
7920239,46080899,2015-09-07,43132131,Henning,"It was a really great stay there! Absolutely great hosts. Very nice house, everything was clean. Good location to explore austin. Walkable very nice places to go out or to have dinner. Perfect."
7920239,46253761,2015-09-08,39907809,Nick,Would highly recommend staying here. Carly and Kate went out of their way to make sure my stay was wonderful. Great location  with everything Austin has to has offer within close proximity.
7920239,46850798,2015-09-13,32387215,Andrew,I had a great stay in the Mongrul Manor. Carly was away but Kate was there to get me set up with everything I needed. Good location with food options nearby and close to downtown. Thumbs up.
7920239,47897862,2015-09-21,17910941,Kaitlyn,"Experience was great, Carly was very nice and made me feel right at home and welcome. I had never done an Airbnb room share, so wasn't sure what to expect, but if it is always like it was with Carly and Kate then I would do it again in a heartbeat.  Room was very clean and tidy, house is nice and shared bathroom was clean.  Easy to find, great communication, no issues!"
7920239,48920484,2015-09-29,19658489,Kerry,"Hi Carly was great. She showed me where to go locally, made me breakfast one day, made me coffee. She even took my bicycle back to the rental place because I had an early flight! The room was fine and the bed comfortable. Thanks Carly"
7920239,49636474,2015-10-05,42703987,Jane,"Great room in  hipster neighborhood of East Austin, just the right distance from downtown. The homeowner(s) know how to make you feel at home with small amenities. They even accommodated a request that they weren't really prepared to offer. 

There is a bar next door and a bar across the street, so if you are looking for a quiet retreat, this probably is not your place. If you are looking for a suburban-style place, also probably not your place. If you are looking to connect to the creative and laid-back trendy part of Austin, you've found the right place!"
7920239,51257278,2015-10-18,3825311,Marcin,"Carly, Kate, and their roomie Frank were amazing hosts. Super friendly and welcoming.  The room was great, bed comfortable, and the entire place was very clean!!! I'd love to stay again!"
7920239,51404756,2015-10-19,13583616,Aysha,"Kate and Carly were my favorite AirBnb hosts :) 
They were both super friendly and accommodating. I mostly interacted with Kate - she made sure I had everything I needed, recommended some great places, and invited me out and showed me a good time in Austin! The room was comfortable and exactly as described. They have a third roommate who mostly kept to himself. Easy 10-minute walk to E 6th St. and 5-minute Uber to Rainey St. It was perfect for my short but fun visit!"
7920239,52272663,2015-10-27,6487833,Clayton,"The room was as advertised and had a comfortable feel to it. 

The house is in a busy and fun area close to restaurants and bars. If you need quiet nights and are in for businesses this may not be the spot for you but if you're in town for fun it's the perfect place. "
7920239,52933758,2015-11-02,34280002,Sam,Great hosts!
7920239,53144638,2015-11-05,13272021,Kyler,Made me feel like at home! Kate was out of town but Carly was enthusiastic about getting to know me and invited me out to explore. I was well accommodated and provided with much information about the city. I'd recommend staying here for any of my friends should they come to Austin. I truly felt like Carly was my friend I had known for years.
5869022,36351695,2015-06-27,30547927,Beatriz,"I love my private room in Austin!

I come to Austin regularly for work and I have stayed with Uschi and family several times this spring.
Uschi and her two lovely teenage kids provide an fun and easy-going environment that make my stays away from home cozy and relaxing.
The room is comfi and has a great private bathroom.
The neighborhood is quiet and shady, perfect to start the day with a wake-up run.
Access to commuting routes downtown and all the fun is easy and convenient.

But the best thing about staying here is, without a doubt, the most wonderful hosts: gracious & energetic Uschi, quirky-smart Nora, and sweet & delirious Max (...and crazy Bella). I LOVE YOU GUYS!

I will be taking the whole family along for 4th of July weekend and I really look forward to it!"
5869022,50487633,2015-10-12,30743792,David,"Ursula and her family were gracious hosts.  They went out of their way to make my friend and me feel at home.  Our guest room with private bath was just off the main entrance making it easy for us to come and go.  The bed was comfortable, especially after a long day at Austin City Limits, and the bathroom was large and luxurious.  We couldn't have asked for a better home base for our festival weekend."
900372,10920714,2014-03-13,11048555,Jessica,"Crystal and Alex were so lovely, and their home was very clean and cozy.  The entire experience was very easy and seamless.  We were greeted with bottled water and beer upon arrival, and they also let us borrow their bikes, making the trips to the convention center so easy!  Highly recommend.  I would stay with them again!"
900372,28118379,2015-03-18,18916611,Julie,"Crystal is the definition of hostess with the mostess. Even before my husband and I traveled to Austin, Crystal was a HUGE help in giving us restaurant recommendations and SXSW insider tips. Once we arrived, she and Alex continued to be a huge help and pleasure to be around. The accommodations were lovely - we had a whole section of the house to ourselves, and there were such cute touches. They left us water bottles, snacks, aleve (so nice!), toiletries, and even bought us two 6-packs of beer. The bed was super comfy and Crystal and Alex were very respectful of our privacy since they were there while we stayed. Plus, they had fresh coffee ready every morning! We really felt like we were at home while staying there.

The location was great, just a short 1.5 miles to town so a quick Lyft/Uber ride or a walk across the river. It also is about a mile or two from the SoCo and South Austin areas, where we spent a LOT of time eating and drinking. Crystal and Alex were the perfect hosts and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything!! "
895352,3817571,2013-03-18,3395768,Karmen,The team absolutely LOVED the house and its location. Kristen was super accommodating and always gave a quick reply to any of the questions we had. She was an awesome host overall.
895352,21285308,2014-10-14,20127301,Jason Cheng,"We loved everything about this home. Once we walked in, we knew it was the right house for us. It was cozy, the sheets smelled nice, there was a full sized kitchen and additional beds were already set up. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for the weekend. Thank you very much Kristin!"
895352,28116861,2015-03-18,13933503,Brian,"Kristin was an amazing host and her house is even nicer than the pictures reflect. My nonprofit (10 people) stayed at her house for 5 days during SXSW and the experience could not have been better. The sleeping options were plentiful and comfortable. The house also had amazing personal touches. The rooftop deck is amazing. Located right near the MLK rail stop, this is a fantastic home outside the chaos of SXSW, but at the same time it has easy access to all the events. I cannot recommend Kristin and her home enough! "
5432027,49825291,2015-10-06,20330088,Alex,Juliann was a wonderful host. Her place was just as shown in the pictures. It was clean and cozy making it a great spot to enjoy Austin. She was also very quick to respond to all my questions. I would definitely stay here again as well as recommend this place if you are visiting Austin.
1942339,9354862,2013-12-23,8167192,Ignacio And Cassidy,Joe and Bella were very responsive.  The cabin was in a very convenient location and quiet neighborhood.  Every amenity imaginable was at my disposal. It was if I were living at home.  I would definitely recommend any of Joe and Bella's properties for the traveling businessman/women or anyone on vacation/visit.
1942339,9386887,2013-12-25,2011754,Julie,"I stay at Joe and Bella's properties on a recurrent basis. Joe and Bella are excellent hosts. The location is great and the price is a great value. The Urban Cabin is a new addition, and it did not disappoint. As with all of Joe and Bella's listings, the Cabin is neat, clean, quiet, and well decorated. The bed in this unit was particularly comfortable. As always, I was very pleased with my stay. Highly recommended. "
1942339,9437171,2013-12-28,10865194,Bill,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1942339,9453313,2013-12-29,6473754,Andrew,"Joe and Bella's place was cozy, clean, and very close to many apartments. It had all the basic amenities and we enjoyed watching cable tv! We also took walks to eat at Amy's ice cream! I highly recommend this place for two people and if you want to be close to all the restaurants on congress. "
1942339,9533304,2014-01-01,3863895,Angela,"I can not say enough great things about Joe and Bella's little cabin/studio off South Congress. It's set up perfectly! They really thought of everything you would need - a fridge, microwave, a little stove, table, wifi, awesome shower, plenty of towels, lots of places to hang things and an awesome bed and tv. The location and the value can not be beat. I am so thankful to find their place and to find them. "
1942339,10053451,2014-01-27,11396955,Jaton,The cabin was exactly as described in the profile. Very clean and comfortable. Joe and Bella take pride in their business and it shows. Will definitely book with them again. 
1942339,10246210,2014-02-09,9065850,John,"This cabin was perfect. The location was at the end of a quiet street and close to some local restaurants, bars and grocery stores. There were several buses just up the street that could take you right through the South Congress area and into the city center in just a few minutes. For a medium sized American city, the bus system is pretty good. The cabin is spotless. There is a nice small kitchen with everything you could need and plenty of room to keep your bags. I had the chance to meet Bella and she was very friendly and willing to give advice when I asked her about the city and surrounding areas. I highly recommend this cabin if you are visiting Austin and want a place that is convenient, clean and priced right. 5 stars!"
1942339,10381796,2014-02-17,10735640,Cheryl,We had a great time in Austin staying at the Urban Cabin.  We were there for a week and used the cabin as our home base while bicycling/sightseeing the city. The cabin is modernly decorated with all the conveniences. The kitchenette worked well for a light breakfast each morning.  The location was ideal allowing us close proximity to many restaurants and food trucks. Joe and Bella quickly responded to our questions. My husband and I would definitely stay there or at one of Joe and Bella's other locations.   
1942339,10543852,2014-02-24,2436472,Alice,"My husband and I absolutely loved Joe and Bella's Cabin.  The entire space wasn't big (approx 350 sq ft?)  but the layout was done very well.  Plus it was remodeled recently and everything feels brand spanking new!

-The queen bed was very comfortable with the feather bed and soft linens.  
-The little kitchen nook was perfect for my morning cup of coffee and hot water in the evening.  There was a tiny fridge for our leftovers as well. (Thanks to the millions of great places to eat in Austin)
-The bathroom had enough counter space for all my products. The towels were fluffy and two set were provided. The shower head had a strong flow of water which is important because I have long hair.

Only thing for ladies: try to wear flats or wedges while walking through the grass to your bungalow.  It's all grass and trying to roll your luggage while your heels dig in the dirt is not easy. 

*There was also a neighbor's dog that barked during the night. We didn't have the A/C unit on but I assume that might drown out the outside noise. 
"
1942339,10638964,2014-03-01,11557411,Kady,"Simply AMAZING! My partner and I used Airbnb for the first time when we traveled to Austin. And we're SO glad we did! Upon arrival we were BLOWN away at how beautiful and clean our room/apartment was! It was IMMACULATE! It was our main ""hub"" while we traveled around Austin and extremely comfy to return to at night. The bed itself is VERY comfortable and did I say clean? I highly recommend any of Joe and Bellas properties and you'd be making a wise choice staying here. Im extremely picky with everything and I was completely taken aback. We met Bella briefly when we were leaving (two women doing hair and makeup-- obviously we ran past out check out time)! But Bella was SO nice about it! She was very considerate about our tardiness. She made us feel very welcome in the short time we spoke. So nice!! AlI in all- its very clear they take a lot of pride in their operation. And we will DEFINITELY be staying here again! We actually cant wait! We have literally told everyone about our amazing experience staying here. And im confident in saying that anyone who stays here is in for such a treat!! Enjoy your stay! "
1942339,10717533,2014-03-04,3731109,Ginny,"Great communication with Joe and Bella before our stay.  The cabin is absolutely adorable.  We came back raving about how nice it was and how convenient all the fun stuff in Austin is to it.  I would absolutely stay here again!  Great job, Joe & Bella! "
1942339,10918750,2014-03-13,10970260,Chris,"Great little cabin, very clean and nice. Close to S Congress and a bus line into downtown. "
1942339,11184750,2014-03-24,4363395,Casey,"The Urban Cabin was PERFECT- it felt as if I might be the very first person to stay there- everything is new, clean.  The cabin is perfect for 1 or 2 people. love the kitchenette- just enough to avoid days and days of restaurant food.  Thank you Joe & Bella"
1942339,11250373,2014-03-26,12695083,Nathan,"We only met Bella for a brief moment on our way out on the last day, however she was very pleasant, and welcomed us to come stay again.  Accommodations were clean and exactly as advertised. We loved Austin and this place was perfect for us!"
1942339,11617444,2014-04-09,4696599,Paula,"Honestly, we had a 5 star experience at the SoCo Urban Cabin.  I can't say enough good things about this cabin and our hosts Bella and Joe.  The location is perfect for visiting Austin.  There's easy access to all of the city from there, but the neighborhood is quiet and the cabin is a peaceful retreat. Inside, the cabin is ultra clean and fresh, the bed is really comfortable, and the linens and towels are high quality. The kitchenette is well equipped for simple food prep (toast, coffee, boiling water for oatmeal).  Bella and Joe were responsive to all our needs and inquiries, but totally respected our privacy. This Cabin and their Cottage are really great places to stay when visiting Austin."
1942339,11802182,2014-04-15,11871647,Sally,"The Urban Cabin was great - it was exactly what we needed and everything we were hoping for. The place was clean, fresh, nicely decorated and bigger than the pictures imply - it even had a little porch on which we breakfasted and drank beers!
Tucked away in a residential street it was quiet and the parking was easy - but there was an excellent bar at the end of the road (with a very good sausage food trailer in the car park!) and a bus stop taking us into SoCo and Downtown at the end of the street.
Communication with Joe and Bella was great - but we had no problems at all - thank you for a great stay in a fabulous city! We'll stay here again!
Sally & Andy from the UK"
1942339,12063912,2014-04-22,12883231,Brandon,"We had a great stay and Joe & Bell's Cabin. As described in the listing, cabin was clean and provided us a great night's rest. Great location and easy spot to navigate around Austin."
1942339,12289380,2014-04-28,12405544,Thi (Tina),"We loved staying at Joe and Bella's cabin! It was brand new, clean and well laid out (i.e. great use of the space!). The bedding was fresh. The air-conditioner and  ceiling fan were a saviour from the Austin heat! The compact kitchen was so cute and contained everything we needed to be self-sustainable. The self-checkin system took the pressure off having to be there at a certain time. The cabin itself is located in a quiet cul de sac, conveniently located just off the main road. Even when there was a party going on next door one of the nights, we did not hear a thing from inside the cabin (restful sleep!). 

Joe and Bella's communication was spot-on. They also provided some great recommendations for the area! "
1942339,12617792,2014-05-06,4664353,Elliott,What a great place to stay. Very clean and with in walking distance of some really nice and vibrant areas. Joe and Bella made the whole process of checking in very simple and were very helpful with suggestions of things to do. We had some perfect evenings sitting on the patio outside the cabin watching the fireflies fly by. I would highly suggest that anyone coming to Austin stay here and I will hopefully be able to come and stay again soon myself.
1942339,12898452,2014-05-13,4363395,Casey,"The Cabin is perfect!  This is my second time to stay in the cabin, and it is so quiet, peaceful.  "
1942339,13013933,2014-05-17,4363395,Casey,"Staying with Joe & Bella is like having your own room at your favorite Aunt & Uncle's house.  The decor is so comfortable- the bedding is so fluffy, high quality, and smells amazing!  The kitchenette is perfect to fend for yourself without having to eat out every meal, and the bath is finished out with high quality modern fixtures that rival a luxury hotel.  BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!  Thank you Joe & Bella!"
1942339,13187993,2014-05-21,5350944,Emily,"We had a great experience staying @ Joe & Bella's property! As a matter of fact, our upcoming trips to Austin WILL BE including a stay with them! The cabin was a perfect size for the 2 of us who just needed a nice place to sleep for a great price. Everything was as expected, in a great neighborhood, clean cabin-really, we couldn't have asked for a better space. Thank you again Bella-so glad we got to meet you and will be seeing you again next month!"
1942339,13417941,2014-05-27,5759317,Meghan,"This was our third stay at one of Joe and Bella's properties and our first in the cabin. The cabin is very spacious for two guests. The bed and linens were  so comfortable and the cabin is stocked with anything you could need. The cabin is very clean and we would stay here anytime I found myself in Austin. The cabin is also in a great quiet neighborhood not far from the shops and restaurants of South Congress and a short drive to ddowntown. Thank you again for the great stay,  Joe and Bella!"
1942339,13692687,2014-06-02,8858883,Ashleigh,"Just finished a weekend at the Urban Cabin and already looking forward to a return trip! Absolutely adorable place and is fully equipped with everything you'll need for a peaceful vacation. Tucked away on a quiet street, but just minutes away from from the hustle and bustle of SoCo, it really was the perfect location to experience all that Austin has to offer. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for the perfect getaway! Thanks so much Joe and Bella! "
1942339,14025989,2014-06-10,1477402,Theresa,"Joe & Bella's cabin was absolutely perfect for my boyfriend and I for our 5 night stay during X Games. The bed was super comfortable, the cabin was very quiet at night, and everything was new and clean! This was our first time visiting Austin, so we were very happy when we realized how close this cabin was to everything in Austin, just minutes from downtown. Bella was very sweet when we met her and she suggested we visit Barton Springs, which we did that very night! I'm so glad she suggested that because after a long and hot day exploring the city, it was the perfect way to end the night by jumping into the cool springs.

We discovered a restaurant called Lucy's Fried Chicken just a few blocks away. You MUST try their fried deviled eggs! Absolutely amazing and unlike anything we ever ate before, and of course their fried chicken was phenomenal as well.

You will not be disappointed when staying here! This cabin is such a great value and a nice place to call home while visiting Austin. I'm so happy we chose this place, and I can't wait to return for our next visit!

Thank you for the great memories!"
1942339,15072491,2014-07-01,5350944,Emily,"Again, excellent place to stay- we will be back the end of July! Thanks for everything! "
1942339,15405371,2014-07-08,15897848,Ian,"Great little apartment with everything we needed. Tucked away and quiet, but really close to SoCo and everything that part of Austin has to offer. I would gladly stay here again."
1942339,16501761,2014-07-28,17920492,Stephenie,We stayed in this cute little cottage over the weekend and it was perfect! The neighborhood was very quiet and nice! The cottage was just what we needed for the weekend.  It was clean and nice! The location was also perfect and close to alot. We have no complaints at all and would definitely stay here again! We did get to meet Bella as we were leaving and she was very sweet and wanted to make sure we had a good stay. We will definitely be staying there again for our next visit to Austin! 
1942339,17419191,2014-08-11,8956330,Ray,"Simple, cute little cabin; convenient, clean and functional; Quiet, hassle-free and had everything we needed. Would recommend."
1942339,18956517,2014-09-03,6310250,Howard,Cozy little place. It was comfortable and quiet - Just what we we're looking for as a nice little get away from the hectic pace of SF. Fairly close to SoCo area and all that it has to offer. Thanks Joe & Bella!
1942339,19243078,2014-09-08,8840118,Alexis,"Very comfortable bed, clean bathroom with towels, soap, hairdryer, clear instructions sent by the host, easy check in and out, friendly neighbourhood (minutes from nice places like the magniola brunch), what more can we expect from an airbnb rent?
Not much, except maybe a more reliable wifi, and an a/c a little less noisy. 
If this is fixed the place will be among the best to stay in for a nice trip to austin !"
1942339,19655607,2014-09-15,15104994,Brittany,"My best friend & I enjoyed staying at Joe & Bella's cabin. We didn't have any issues with parking, and it is in a very convenient location. The hosts are responsive and polite. If you're looking for an efficient, affordable, and clean space this is your spot! "
1942339,19964805,2014-09-21,2258479,David,"My girlfriend and I absolutely loved our stay at Bella and Joe’s place. The cabin is very cozy, and provided everything we could possibly need. Check in and out was a breeze with the key lock and we had an immense amount of privacy. We loved having access to a mini refrigerator and an HEB grocery store close by so we could make a few meals at home. The location is great and it was very easy to walk around the South Congress neighborhood (by foot it can take 30+ minutes to get to the heart of things, but we had a car rental… there is also a bus that runs frequently). Amy’s Ice Cream is right around the corner and was perfect for staying cool. We were also pretty close to Torchy’s Tacos, South Congress Cafe, and Gourdough's donuts, which are all places that we highly recommend! Thank you Joe and Bella — we can’t wait to be back!"
1942339,20243872,2014-09-26,17351117,Courtney,"The cabin was lovely! There are two right next to each other, so it was super convenient for me and my best friend. Only suggestion I would make is renting a car, an uber is about 10 dollars everywhere, which can get costly if you want to see all austin has to offer! "
1942339,20532352,2014-09-30,8956330,Ray,"Another flawless stay at Joe & Bella's guest cabin. Convenient location, hassle-free checkin/out, clean space with all the necessary amenities. We'll be staying here again when we come back."
1942339,20913984,2014-10-07,1699607,Jeff,Good value. As listed. Nice neighborhood. Close to downtown/cool stuff in Austin. 
1942339,21293268,2014-10-14,2658365,Omri,"The place was really charming! Just like in the pictures, very clean and welcoming. We stayed there for ACL weekend and it was perfect for crashing after a long day at the festival."
1942339,21663768,2014-10-21,19126113,Maura,"Bella was a great host!  Didn't meet Joe. But we were only there for a day.

"
1942339,22660638,2014-11-11,16641662,Alex,A very cozy and clean place to stay in a great location. Our hosts were professional and friendly.
1942339,22893097,2014-11-17,10911582,Janna,"Joe/Bella's Cabin was PERFECT for our girls weekend. The cabin was spotless and very comfortable. I slept like baby, the mattress was fantastic! And the location was PERFECT. We took $9 Uber rides to every destination we had planned. We will defiantly be visiting again."
1942339,23496694,2014-12-02,6352598,Shirin,"Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to meet our hosts, but they made it easy to access the property.  The cabin was as described, very clean, and in an extremely convenient location.  Perfect if you're looking for a more economical option.  Thank you Joe and Bella for having us!"
1942339,25419728,2015-01-15,5256115,Teresa,The stay was excellent!  My coworkers were very impressed with the properties and are looking forward to being able to return.  Joe is a great host and the properties are clean and well managed!!
1942339,26705952,2015-02-17,8773481,Kate,"Joe and Bella's cabin was clean, conveniently located, and had everything that we needed for a short visit to Austin. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cabin to other travelers. "
1942339,27726645,2015-03-10,807914,Nishant,"Apartment was great, as described! Joe and Bella give you full privacy, and are there if you need anything. Great neighbourhood. Would recommend a stay here."
1942339,28128622,2015-03-18,8303827,Madeleine,"We had a lovely time at Joe & Bella's guest cabin! It was sparkling clean and all new, and had a great little porch to sit and relax on. Joe and Bella were very attentive hosts and helped us several times with suggestions when we had questions about some local establishments and getting our clothes pressed for an event, and even came by to make sure everything was working properly.  We always heard from them right away. In the cabin, the bed is very, very comfortable, and the bathroom is all new marble. We stayed there during SXSW and enjoyed our leisurely exercise walk into town (although we could have also taken a bus which stops right nearby if we had wanted). The cabin is in a great neighborhood with several lovely cafes and places for tacos and migas a five minute walk away-- I definitely recommend staying there in the quiet, far from the craziness of SXSW.  We would take lyft cars home at night, and there were plenty of lyfts available during the festival. It's also not far (about a mile?) from the Magnolia Cafe, which may be the only place in Austin open 24 hours for food, so that was very convenient too. We would end up there late at night after we had seen our last movie (along with the rest of Austin) and still have a chance to get dinner. Overall, I recommend Joe and Bella's guest cabin -- especially if you are looking to stay in a more quiet suburban neighborhood. It was very peaceful and beautiful."
1942339,28237498,2015-03-20,7586583,Maggie,"I was sent very clear instructions for finding the cabin, key and other helpful checkin/checkout information. This delightful cabin is on a lot where a house and another cottage are. All 3 are listed on airbnb. This is a residential area about a block from the bus line 801 rapid staight to downtown. Park the car and let someone else do the driving. The cabin is clean and nicely decorated. Mattress was very comfortable as well as the pillows on the bed. I was able to get get wifi. I saw all kinds of birds and heard an owl hooting while sitting out on the patio in front of the cabin. The cabin was meticulously cleaned. In the kitchen area  are dishes, microwave, sink and other small kitchen items. Perfect for reheating leftovers or having everything available for a take out meal. The bathroom had a shower with excellent water pressure and think white towels. Staying here was more like staying at a nice hotel. Alot cheaper and way nicer. Bella and joe have so many repeat customers that within 6 months she will only take people who have stayed with her previously. This is an indication of just how nice it is. This cabin was perfect, quiet, clean, affordable and the location was insane. "
1942339,28429406,2015-03-23,11122073,Brittany,It was the cutest cabin. It has everything you need for a weekend getaway in Austin. The location is great and the premises is great as well. I would definitely recommend staying here. 
1942339,28682545,2015-03-28,5256115,Teresa,Joe & Bella are the greatest hosts.  I had a problem with the AC and they immediately took care of it.  Thanks Joe & Bella for everything you do!!
1942339,29018990,2015-04-02,5256115,Teresa,Great stay! Wonderful hosts! 
1942339,29575869,2015-04-09,8200697,Kat,"Such a cute sweet spot in a very convenient location. Close to shops and bars, restaurants and food trucks, but far enough that it was quiet and calm. Had all the essentials and hospitality I needed. A great memory is taken from my stay in Austin!"
1942339,29880525,2015-04-13,8382784,Beth Ann,Joe and Bella are excellent hosts! The listing was exactly as pictured - clean with nice amenities. The cabin is in a cute neighborhood with a bar nearby and close walk to south congress. Perfect location for a weekend getaway. 
1942339,30162002,2015-04-18,5256115,Teresa,Great stay as always!!  Wonderful hosts!! 
1942339,30353617,2015-04-20,15199590,Crystal,"Wonderful little crash pad for our weekend in Austin! All of the reviews I read were spot on. The cabin was emaculate and the bed was very comfortable! Location couldn't have been more ideal! We took $10 Uber taxis everywhere we went. We only crossed paths briefly with Bella, but hosts were very welcoming via their emails and detailed information packet. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks Joe and Bella!"
1942339,30637421,2015-04-25,5256115,Teresa,As always a great stay.  Very Clean!!
1942339,30813527,2015-04-27,16070323,Kevin,"Joe and Bella's guest cabin was perfect for us! The location is excellent - really easy to Uber to downtown or a good long-but-not-too-long walk to the shops on SoCo. Checking in was super easy also.

The cabin itself is exactly like in the pictures - super simple, VERY clean (it felt like they had just built/furnished it recently) and it has everything you need. There's a mini fridge, a microwave, and basic utensils, but no stove top so don't expect to cook anything. You really shouldn't be cooking anything since it's just down the street from a lot of Austin staples...

Trust the reviews, there's a reason it has so much positive feedback!"
1942339,31010642,2015-04-30,5256115,Teresa,Love staying here! It's my home away from home!!
1942339,31980534,2015-05-12,8975224,Drake,Joe and bella have a wonderful setup in a perfect location. They were gracious hosts and the cabin was quaint but had everything we needed for a weekend in austin. The neighborhood was quiet and a quick uber got us everywhere we wanted to go in the city. We will be back!
1942339,32401661,2015-05-17,5256115,Teresa,Great stay! Always love the hospitality and the accommodations!!

1942339,33317336,2015-05-26,2217079,Quyen,"We had an awesome stay at Joe and Bella's cottage. This place has everything you might need - lots of storage, clean and large bathroom, mini-kitchen with fridge and microwave. Such a great deal, and we literally had everything we needed for a weekend trip. We didn't have to drive more than 10 mins to anywhere we wanted to go or see in Austin. We would definitely stay here again! "
1942339,33828196,2015-06-01,23627592,William,My friend and I had an amazing time at Joe & Bella's. The setup was great. Our guest cabin was quiet and discrete. The room had everything we needed in it. The weather didn't quite cooperate the weekend we we there so we really appreciated the cable TV service. I would definitely stay at Joe & Bella's again. 
1942339,35150623,2015-06-15,15714035,Kelsey,"Joe and Bella's guest cabin was absolutely wonderful!  We had everything we needed, the space was pristine and clean.  We loved the privacy and close proximity to everything in Austin including our favorite coffee spot, Summer Moon Coffee.  There was ample street parking and we were able to Uber downtown for under $10.  Check-in was a breeze and Joe and Bella responded promptly to all questions we had.  We were lucky enough to meet Bella on our way out and she is just lovely.  We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to Austin."
1942339,35869343,2015-06-22,12724824,Simon,"I loved my experience. Super clear instructions, great accommodations, great area. Would come back in a heartbeat! "
1942339,37382009,2015-07-06,5087912,Diana,"Although my husband and I did not meet Joe and Bella, they were very quick to respond to emails leading up to our weekend visit. They provided clear instructions for parking and checking in and out. Their cabin is very cute and in a great location in South Austin. We look forward to staying here again in the future!"
1942339,40698781,2015-08-01,5256115,Teresa,As always......wonderful!!
1942339,44234687,2015-08-24,34589681,David,"Great experience, small and very comfortable little cabin. Awesome food around the area and the perfect bar right down the street. I would definitely come back to this again! Cheers!"
1942339,49651081,2015-10-05,29597513,Adam,The property was great and very clean!  On top of that the location is awesome! Close to South Congress and all that has to offer and not too far away from downtown either. It is tucked away in the backyard which is very nice.  We met the owners once and they were very very nice!  
1942339,50577026,2015-10-12,6857455,Eric,"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here!  The cabin had privacy, was very clean and was designed really well.  There are a few bars and places to eat near by and it isn't a very long walk to the heart of SOCO.

I only emailed with the hosts but all communication was quick and the instructions were clear.  I would recommend printing out the welcome packet and binging it with you as the hosts suggested.

This was a really nice alternative to a hotel room for our Austin stay."
1942339,52264823,2015-10-27,12090683,Will,Great experience! Joe and Bella's place had everything we needed and was located conveniently. I'd definitely stay there again.
5618773,37125522,2015-07-04,37361547,Ashwin,"I never stayed here. But I did make the payment. Unfortunately it isn't refunded yet even after 10 days. 

I can't rely on it as the booking is not certain and the host may come up next day and say we don't have availability. Refund my money please "
5618773,37270250,2015-07-05,37339300,Lisette,"Loved this experience! Bianca was such a great host. The place was really clean and comfy. Even though we did not get to meet due to both us us being busy, she did an awesome job keeping in contact with us. She was very lenient with the arrival time and made sure everything was set up easily for us to get in and were taken care of. "
5618773,38088569,2015-07-12,35532588,Cecilie,"Bianca was a great host! We booked last-minute, on the day of arrival, and there was no problem at all. Bianca has also been really helpful offering to recommend stuff to do while we were in Austin. Unfortunately we never got to meet her, but we had good and easy communication over the phone. The room is nice and big with a super comfy bed :)
All in all Bianca is very accommodating and we would highly recommend anyone to stay with her! "
5618773,43081288,2015-08-17,11782811,Liza,"Bianca was extremely friendly and accommodating! Her condo was in a great location, and she was easy to communicate with. Great experience!"

Bianca made us feel very welcome and provided us with handy information for getting around during our stay. "
5618773,51816322,2015-10-24,11420929,Debby,"Bedroom was private and comfortable, and the neighborhood felt safe and inviting. Bianca was an excellent host. I highly recommend this space."
5618773,52145904,2015-10-26,27634605,Ryan,Bianca was an excellent hostess.  She is very friendly and was very flexible with our arrival time. The directions she gave us to get to her condo were very helpful and she gave us great advice on what to check out in Austin.  The place is very nice and conveniently located between the airport and the city. I would definitely stay there again if I was in Austin.
5415298,28176230,2015-03-19,1665339,Morgan,"Ryan's place was even nicer than I expected and I immediately felt at home, especially since she met me and gave me some tips about Austin before she headed out.  I would definitely stay here again, and I would definitely recommend Ryan and her place to anyone who needs a place to stay in Austin.  It was convenient to several buses which got me down to SXSW in about 30 minutes with no fuss, and it was right around the corner from an awesome beer spot."
5415298,28407394,2015-03-23,21941381,Calvin,Host was great. The apartment was perfect for us. We really appreciate her for having us would love to stay there again.
8863870,51979002,2015-10-25,29478780,Christine,Stephen was a great host! The place was clean and he even left us a bottle of bubbly and OJ! It was simple enough to find the house and the proximity to downtown via Uber was very good. The hot tub/pool was a great perk at night as well as having 2 bathrooms since it was 5 girls staying for the weekend. Stephen was available by text at any moment if we had a question which was greatly appreciated. Overall great experience and would love to stay again if needed! 
3231016,16145109,2014-07-22,17566392,Katie,"Carrye was the most wonderful host! Her home is absolutely ADORABLE and she was so sweet and accommodating.  Her home is so spacious, comfortable, and extremely stylish.  And her backyard patio is perfection.  I would recommend her place for a weekend get-away to anyone and I hope to have the opportunity to stay again!"
3231016,17915802,2014-08-18,5473921,Aasim,"Staying at Carrye's place was a really great experience. They have a really nice place, with some pretty cool bells and whistles, but best of all, it's in a really great area. I was also really happy to see how attentive of a host she was, regularly checking in to see if there was anything we needed."
3231016,20746996,2014-10-05,8033859,Michael And Marjorie,We absolutely loved our stay at the Chens'.  It is a cozy and beautifully remodeled home and provided the perfect respite during ACL.  Our teenagers had plenty of space to spread out yet we enjoyed the centrality of the kitchen as a gathering space.  Carrye was over the top in her hospitality.  I truly felt like I was staying in a friend's home!
3231016,22524923,2014-11-09,6949068,Ashley,"Carrye was such a great host!  Would definitely stay here again.  The house was exactly as described and picture.  It's beautiful, clean and very well situated in terms of close to all that Austin has to offer, and there's even a cute little store within walking distance.  Carrye took the extra time to send us a fun list of cool things to do an places to check out before we arrived, and was extremely kind and hospitable on-site.  It was the perfect stay, I'd definitely recommend to other Airbnbers :)"
3231016,27609585,2015-03-08,27755033,Noriko,"Carrye was such a wonderful host and her house was exactly how it was portrayed in the pictures. She gave us a tour of the house and even had a print out with instructions for working things in the house from the internet to the TV. She was very attentive and was always a text away from any questions we had. Her house was very clean and the beds were super comfy! We had a group of 7 girls stay and everyone had more than enough room. I would definitely stay at her house again and recommend it to anyone that's looking for a super nice, clean house and an awesome host. Thanks Carrye!"
3231016,28066937,2015-03-17,18222027,Carolyna,Carre's family house is lovely and situated in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. She was such a thoughtful host!
3231016,49596118,2015-10-05,31933247,Julianne,Carrye's house is beautiful! My friends and I had a great time at ACL. Very convenient walk to Zilker Park and just a short uber to sixth street. We loved the house-wide speakers and the lovely backyard. The house was very clean and Carrye even left us a welcome present! Highly recommend this house. 
3231016,50281665,2015-10-11,10087776,Hillary,"Myself a handful of other couples stayed at Carrye's home for the second weekend of Austin City Limits. We had an absolutely wonderful trip and loved staying at Carrye's home. The house was beautiful, clean, and more spacious than we anticipated. Carrye was also an incredible Airbnb host. She left us a little welcome gift and left notes about places to eat and neighborhoods to visit in Austin. Thanks so much Carrye!"
79086,1011991,2012-03-18,386094,Erin,Super comfortable and well-appointed. Very clean and easy to get to. We especially appreciated the breakfast foods that Brooke and Ron left for us.
79086,49782282,2015-10-06,21725707,David,"We had a great time this year at our annual ACL trip! Brooke's house was a perfect spot for us to regroup and recharge every night. The description was perfect and the location was excellent. We particularly appreciated the conveniently located food options across the street, they hit the spot. The trail to Zilker was beautiful, although fair warning to anyone walking home as the sun goes down...its gets very dark and challenging quickly so make sure you have a flashlight and your bearings! We've sampled different areas of Austin each year and this was the most beautiful yet. Very quiet and peaceful, but close to Zilker and a short ride to downtown. We hope to be back soon, but at the latest next year for ACL. Thanks again Brooke!"

8124387,47888423,2015-09-21,11665987,Ashton,"What a weekend! I stayed at Sam's house along with 4 friends, and we truly couldn't get enough of it. The bedrooms and whole house are simple, open, and inviting, and allow the view to really be the focal point. That said, this home is worth visiting just for the deck - rather than sleep on the huge couch or comfortable beds, a couple of us opted to set up our queen-size air mattresses on the porch and sleep under the stars, which are absolutely stunning since the house is located a bit outside of Austin. It was also very tempting to dance around the living room with it's wide open floor plan! 

I've stayed at a handful of AirBNB's, and this was definitely the easiest experience I've had in terms of communications and getting in and out of the house. We all agreed this house had some of the best value in terms of what you get for the what you pay in the Austin area! We can't wait to spend another weekend here so we can take advantage of the neighborhood lake access!"
8124387,49810559,2015-10-06,43774396,Jennifer,"This was our first Airbnb experience.  Sam was very helpful and replied to our inquiries promptly.  It was easy to find, beautiful and incredibly comfortable for our group of 5.  "
8124387,50698815,2015-10-13,44936927,Blair,Great house!  My husband and I had the perfect trip.  The swimming holes near by are wonderful.  
8124387,51161758,2015-10-18,35802808,Melissa,This house is absolutely gorgeous and so perfect for groups. Sam was super helpful all weekend and got back to us right away with any questions we had. Highly recommend!
8124387,51377885,2015-10-19,46077743,Lawrence,"The house was beautiful, quiet, spacious, and remote, yet not so far removed from downtown that it was inaccessible. We had a party of 8 but sleeping was still not cramped. We had a fantastic time and look forward to staying there again."
8124387,52899280,2015-11-02,43097784,Mohsen,"Excellent experience, definitely recommended! 
Sam is very nice person a helpful host, his listing was accurate, and this house is in a good neighborhood.

The house was very clean when we arrived, the kitchen had all appliances we needed"
8516626,48647750,2015-09-27,44388451,Michael,Ashley was a great host! Super hospitable and sweet. Would def recommend her spare room. Great location! 
8516626,50125029,2015-10-09,44899058,Brian,Ashley was an amazing host. I had everything I needed and then some. I will definitely  stay again if I'm ever back in Austin. Thank you again for everything Ashley
8516626,50528946,2015-10-12,44868630,Brittany,"First time using airbnb. Had a great experience with Ashley and her boyfriend. Room was great, hosts were awesome, and location was spot on. It was exactly what we needed for our weekend at ACL and the perk of down to earth hosts was icing on the cake. Thanks guys!"
8516626,51175496,2015-10-18,6970623,Mike,"My trip started out with some travel difficulties so I got into Austin a day late, Ashley was very accommodating and continued to check in on me to make sure I would be able to get in smoothly despite my continually changing schedule which was much appreciated.  The room was just as described, the dogs were a huge plus and were really friendly.  I would definitely stay again and highly recommend as well."
8516626,51840747,2015-10-24,46809075,Stephanie,I never met Ashley during my stay but her boyfriend Jake was nice. When I got there he gave me a key and basically that was it. Good place to stay if you pretty much want the place to yourself. 
8516626,51936555,2015-10-25,2460043,Tom,Ashley and her bf were great and very responsive on messages which made access and leaving really convenient. Room was clean and quiet and only about 15 mins from rainey street. Recommended! They also have 2 very friendly) dogs
8516626,52526513,2015-10-30,46427515,Devin,"Super easy to deal with, in constant contact. Room was cozy and clean. Couldn't have asked for an easier stay!"
8516626,53029696,2015-11-03,3034273,Luis,"Ashley and Jake were great hosts, super friendly, we hanged out quite a bit, great to spend time with. They'll help you if you have questions about things to do, etc. I'm looking forward to see them in Costa Rica or my next stop in Austin.

The room was as described and the neighborhood is very nice, close to the lady bird trail and you can walk to downtown easily. I walked a lot during my stay.

Totally recommend staying with them, and say hello for me if you do."
725177,2830019,2012-11-07,3861692,Matt,"baxter was such a sweetheart, she was super ice and was very accommodating. the house was very clean and comfortable. she is a great cook and even better company. i cant wait to go back to austin, and i will definitely be booking with baxter when i do."
725177,3005271,2012-12-01,4201724,Carver,"It was so nice staying at Baxters, clean, quiet and close to plenty of quality trouble! I had two friends contacoming on Facebook, they happened to be catching an Amtrac in Austin and needed a place for one night,  very last minute. Baxter was so flexible and came by to set up another bed for the new guests! It can be so hard to find a cool place when you're traveling with dogs, even well behaved ones! Thanks Baxter!"
725177,3089675,2012-12-14,1346505,Jovan & Zaga,"One of the best places I've visited through Airbnb. It's a spacious Austin house, very clean, nicely decorated with many beautiful details that make you feel as if I was living in a film set. It's a great location and altogether a wonderful experience! :)"
725177,3421948,2013-01-27,2309141,James,"I recently stayed at the Cottage for a few weeks while in Austin for work... Couldn't have asked for a better way to start off the year. Great house. Great sunlight. Great furniture. Kitchen. Front porch. Backyard. This place was very special to me and my two dogs. Baxter was an awesome host, and the neighborhood is just right. South 1st is where it's at. Good food, mellow vibe, and a 4 block walk to Bouldin Creek Coffee. 
Baxter, you rock."
725177,3511261,2013-02-10,1360634,Jacob,"Great location near Congress St., cute little cottage with cool decor, everything was very clean, beds were comfortable. The guest bedroom and main bedroom share a door, which might be a problem for some people but was fine for us. We didn't get to meet Baxter, but she was really nice and attentive over the phone and she left us a nice welcome note and even had oatmeal there for our breakfast."
725177,3553847,2013-02-16,63595,James,"Perfect spot for our needs - Nice two bedroom, clean bathroom w rainshower, nice big kitchen, empty fridge for use, cute front porch, good natural light. All in all, a great spot in Austin! And Baxter was a total sweetheart of a host. "
725177,3695579,2013-03-04,407361,Mike,Baxter was very sweet and accommodating. She met with me for the check in and showed me around. It was a quiet cozy place to stay. Huge backyard. Close to everything in the SOCO area. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again anytime! Highly recommended.
725177,3792946,2013-03-15,5369665,Nate,"Really enjoyed my stay in March at Baxter's rental in Austin. Baxter is an attentive, respectful, and lovely host. The place is near enough to downtown to enjoy what that area has to offer, while providing a nice escape from its craziness (stayed during the SXSW Festival). Her home is cozy and quirky in the most welcoming ways. Would definitely stay again upon my next visit."
725177,3958685,2013-03-31,1323467,Tracy,"What a fun experience at the strawberry cottage!  It was perfect for staying at while visiting friends in the area.  My favorite part was sitting on the porch in the early morning and in the evening.  Many thanks, Baxter and Derek! "
725177,8679290,2013-11-11,7983074,Tim,"Had an aweome time at Zilker cottage!

Everything worked out perfectly, Baxter was there to greet me and show me around the place upon arrival and was so helpful with tips / things to do in the area as well.

Communication with Baxer was easy and she was always responsive. 

The place itself is great, so much character and interesting intruments / things around the house to look and play with. 

Overall, had a great time and would heartily reccomend to this place to anyone!

"
725177,9568689,2014-01-02,74498,C.,"I had a great time visiting Austin, and really appreciated Baxter's quiet cottage experience. She was very prompt in answering all my questions, letting me know where to find towels and soap. The key exchange was a breeze, and I would definitely visit again!"
725177,10389790,2014-02-17,2019292,Joseph,Great house. Very cute with large backyard. Easy walk to food trucks and 2 blocks to the #10 bus that will have you downtown in a few minutes. Baxter was very helpful pointing out places to see in Austin. 
725177,11377431,2014-03-31,3554126,Ahmed,"Baxter's place was great! As far as the house goes, it was clean, well-kept, had a real retro-hip feel to it. Loved her record player and all the different varieties of music she had. Bed was comfortable, shower was soothing (loved the bathroom). Kitchen was fully stocked but I didn't use it. The location was great! Located in SoFi area, a short walk from a lot of cool retaurants and food trucks and a few blocks away from all the fun and food on South Congress (definitely walkable). The host was very helpful and kind. Went out of her way to show me where the iron was when I needed it. Overall, an awesome Airbnb experience!"
725177,11843786,2014-04-16,12264520,Chelsea,"Baxter was an excellent host. Her house is lovely. Record player, big comfy bed, awesome location. She gave us some great suggestions for places to go (we LOVED Bouldin Creek Cafe). Baxter was easy to get ahold of and I would highly recommend staying here!"
725177,11966463,2014-04-20,14934,Britt,"I stayed at Baxter's while in town for a conference being held downtown. Baxter was super accommodating of my various travel needs/issues and gave me a warm welcome when I arrived. The house itself is in a great location - close to South Congress, supermarkets, coffee, etc. The house also has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including, my favorite, a record player. It was so nice to walk back to the house from my conference and decompress by cooking dinner and listening to records. The bed was extremely comfortable, too! I slept like a rock when I was here - better than at home! I had the opportunity to talk with Baxter in person a few times during my stay and she's super cool, funny, and helpful. I would totally recommend her house if you're in the area."
725177,12182967,2014-04-25,11550542,Robert,"What a great location this is, very close to South Congress' shops, restaurants and life, yet tucked away in a quiet side street. It's a very artistic and musical place, and there's even an e-piano, that works! I loved sitting on the porch, reading a book, enjoying the tranquility and greenery. Baxter is extremely friendly and helpful. This is her private space, which she vacates for visitors, and this gives the place a comfy, lived-in feeling. So this is not hotel-room like, like other airbnb listings. We loved Austin, and loved Baxter's little house (which is quite spacious, actually)."
725177,12288078,2014-04-28,8242166,Adam,Baxter was the perfect host!  The house was exactly as pictured and very cozy.  The instructions and recommendations provided were easy to follow and made our stay stress-free.  Thanks Baxter!
725177,12352091,2014-04-29,3135906,Raymond And Gemma,"We really enjoyed our stay in Baxter's house. In a really hip part of Austin and walking distance from south congress and other really buzzy areas, the house was comfy and cool, and sitting on the porch with a drink was blissful. Fantastic spot for a really fun stay in Austin."
725177,12783693,2014-05-11,6484133,D.,"This was my first experience and Baxter made it great! Her home is lovely and we both felt comfortable while there. We walked everyday to favorite coffee houses and restaurants. The kitchen was well stocked, but in Austin we found it hard not to enjoy all the nearby food trucks, so we didn't end up using it. Bouldin Creek Cafe is a very short walk so I think that explains that! :) I can tell this home is loved and you will feel that vibe when you stay there. Thanks again Baxter for everything! "
725177,12940155,2014-05-14,1765445,Henry,"Baxter was an amazing host, and on such short notice too! She made me feel at home right away.  The house itself was spotless, and there's even a washer/dryer - as well as a record player!"
725177,13443991,2014-05-27,12431438,Courtney,What a cute humble home! I just adored staying at Baxter's house- and the location was utterly amazing! I was able to take a long run down to the lake each day! The king size bed was VERY comfy!! Baxter was very easy to communicate with and was more than accommodating. I highly recommend this stay! 
725177,13923007,2014-06-08,14944762,Amy,"We had a wonderful stay here. Baxter's house is welcoming, cool and relaxing and a perfect place to escape the heat and enjoy the environment. We loved sitting out on the porch with a beer in the evenings in this very green, quiet neighbourhood.
The house is in a great location if you want to walk to some of the great bars and restaurants on South 1st Street too.
Even though we didn't have the opportunity to meet Baxter, she kept in regular communication via email and left detailed instructions about all the house essentials. She was helpful and friendly at all times. It's a fabulous place to stay and great that Baxter is happy to share her lovely home with visitors to Austin."
725177,15460274,2014-07-09,8291376,Alula,"Beautiful location and an incredible host, Baxter was very helpful and hospitable during my stay in Austin, and made some great recommendations for thing to check out during my stay, the next time I visit ATX, I'll def stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nice place in the SoCo area."
725177,17870287,2014-08-18,5130136,Sierra,Baxter's house is charming and close to everywhere we explored. We had a wonderful stay!
725177,20898239,2014-10-07,1115009,Luis Alberto,"Without doubt this had been the best experience at Austin, all because or Baxter's House.
Great place, great vibes, great location, great audio system, great vinyls, great shower, great porch, and mainly great host.
I hope to return soon."
725177,22297926,2014-11-03,18971491,Quirina,"Very very cute and nice house in a great neighborhood. Centrally located. I can for sure recommend this house to anyone! We might come back when we go house hunting in the Austin area. 
Thanks (in Dutch, dankjewel!) Baxter! "
725177,22895162,2014-11-17,19036121,Brooke,"We had a great experiencerenting with Baxter.  She answered every questions we had an was very quick to respond.  The house was just as we had hoped...in a great location, clean, perfect spot for our girls getaway.  We walked to restaurants/music and enjoyed cooking in the house as well.  Would highly recommend staying here for your trip to Austin."
725177,23045716,2014-11-21,3630462,Joseph,"Description is right on.  This S 2nd street place is a little ways from the s 1st street or s congress scene, but the neighborhood and place are charming.  Baxter is very responsive and the beds are a great size.  Music and light fill the house as there was a guitar and piano to play around with.  She left a record playing as we couldnt meet directly which was an adorable touch.  Very thankful and wish we could have stayed longer."
725177,23418550,2014-11-30,12900258,Ghislain,We booked very last minute before the Thanksgiving holiday and the host was very nice and helpful. The house is exactly what I wanted in a quiet neighborhood close to 1st and SoCo. Record player with a copy of  Coltrane's A love Supreme was a giant plus for us. 
725177,23516470,2014-12-02,2732022,Brian,"We had a wonderful experience at the Baxter House. It was in an excellent location and had more than enough space and amenities. It's definitely on my short list for future trips to Austin!

Baxter was an excellent host and provided us with all the information we needed.

Turntable and records were an added bonus!"
725177,24117160,2014-12-20,19563976,Rio,"Baxter made my boyfriend and I feel so welcome and was so helpful with anything we had questions about. The house was great, I loved the style of the furniture and the quirkiness of the decor. It's in a area that's close to everything you would want to visit in Austin and I always felt safe. I would definitely return when I'm in Austin again. "
725177,24397979,2014-12-27,25195703,Kelly,"This adorable cozy home is in a great location near 1st St and South Congress shopping and restaurants (definitely walkable, although we chose to drive and park a bit closer). It was super easy to find and easily identifiable by the porch and hanging lights. Baxter was extremely accommodating, as we made a last-minute request to stay in the home on Christmas day with our dog - she responded quickly and everything was ready for us by that evening. She also provided recommendations on where to go for food and shopping in the area, which was great.  There is a TV in one of the bedrooms but not the main living room (not a problem for us as we didn't spend much time at the house itself anyway). Only true negative aspect was very weak water pressure in the shower. Other than that, it was a perfect escape. Will definitely be staying again during future trips to Austin!"
725177,24551341,2014-12-30,3387451,Niki,"Baxter was prompt, friendly and informative.  Gave us some great ideas for plans. The description was accurate, the neighborhood was walkable and there were great things to explore close by.  Thanks!"
725177,25223624,2015-01-09,24311797,Callum,"I stayed at Baxter's place with two others. Baxter and her partner were on hand to welcome us, and provided great tips for gigs, food and other things to do in the neighborhood. 

Baxter's place feels cosy and lived-in, and is in a good part of Austin. 

The 2nd bedroom is separated by a partition, not a door, not so great for privacy. 

That said, I would stay here again,"
725177,25332885,2015-01-12,7473270,Anna,"We had a great time staying here. The location was very central and convenient. There were all sorts of awesome restaurants within walking distance. The house itself was very clean, with lots of fun things like an electric piano and record player. The king size bed was a huge plus for us; it's really soft, like a cloud. Baxter was very helpful and communicative. The water pressure wasn't super high, but that's often the case with older houses, plus it was in the 30s (temperature)! We would stay here again and recommend highly!"
725177,25458068,2015-01-16,3687078,Alex,"The house is a cozy little cottage that was clean and comfortable. It was the perfect size for me, my girlfriend, and my two small dogs. Although it's not fancy, it had everything we needed and everything about the place is charming. Including a turntable with Dolly Parton on it when we came in, books of poetry scattered around the house, and personal touches like old postcards tacked to the walls to make it feel like home. I actually felt like I was staying at a friends house and not in some impersonal rental. 

It's also in one of the most fun neighborhoods in Austin. You can walk two blocks and you're at Fair Bean coffee. In three blocks your at Bouldin Creek Cafe, one of Austin's best places to get breakfast. Plus all vegetarian. everything you need food wise is right here. 

Finally Baxter is an excellent host. She let me adjust times and dates as needed and was prompt to reply to any concern or question. She just made everything easy. "
725177,25665066,2015-01-22,25722170,Jessica,"This was the perfect spot for our first trip to Austin. We came as a group of four intent on exploring a large part of the city over the course of 5 days, and the house location made it easy to do! We opted for local buses (the 10 is a great option to get downtown quickly), walks up and down 1st street and Congress, and the occasional Lyft to get around. Baxter met us with tons of tips and even a kind bottle of welcome champagne. Well worth a stay! Thanks, Baxter."
725177,25834193,2015-01-26,24914913,Jason,The cottage was great for our needs and Baxter was very friendly and helpful throughout the process.  She sent helpful emails in advance to orient us to both the apartment and neighborhood.  Baxter was also easily available by text and accommodated us storing our luggage until our evening flights.  The cottage was clean and as seen in the pictures with a fun Austin vibe and a great location.  The only drawback was low water pressure in the shower and warm (not hot) water.  Everything else was great though and I highly recommend!
725177,26437494,2015-02-12,2965502,Jenny,"Oh so good!!
Perfect cosy home for 4 of us.
Amazing location...a quick walk to the 24 hour magnolia cafe...bars, restaurants, live music all within walking distance.
SoCo is a great neighborhood that honors and respects local business.
We had a great escape and Baxter was super easy to communicate with and made the experience very easy.
"
725177,27027114,2015-02-23,26747382,Kory,Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed staying at Baxter's place for the weekend! She is an incredibly friendly host who has done a great job turning the house into a fantastic little getaway. Music lovers will surely enjoy spinning some vinyl late at night or rocking the Wurly with friends. :)
725177,27369531,2015-03-02,11362934,Kendall,"We had a fantastic stay in Baxter's home.  We had a lot of complications with our incoming flights and Baxter was easy to get in touch with and very flexible about how to get us the key.  Once we did arrive, the house was perfect!  It's in a great location and was the perfect place to stay for a weekend exploring Austin.  I would definitely stay here on another trip to Austin.    "
725177,29353688,2015-04-06,11308789,Sean,"Baxter was incredibly accommodating of our unconventional travel schedule.  The house was in great shape when we arrived and every bit as charming as the listing suggests.  It was a great little retreat off of South Congress to have drinks, listen to music, and relax in her great big back yard.  Baxter gave me some recommendations for restaurants that turned out to be great.  I would recommend Baxter and her house to anyone looking for a great location in Austin as well as a tidy and comfortable place to stay.  Absolutely great experience."
725177,29468058,2015-04-07,3801334,Rebecca,"We loved our stay at Baxter's place! The house was gorgeous and cozy, and just a quick walk to all the best restaurants, bars, and shops on South Congress. Baxter was very warm and welcoming ~ she made sure that we had maps and knew about fun events happening in town that weekend. Could not have asked for a better experience!"
725177,30005511,2015-04-15,8712831,Caroline,"The house was fantastic and well beyond anything I had hoped for! Though pretty tiny for a house, the layout made it feel huge, especially for only 2 people. Eclectic antiques were ever where but it was cozy and comfortable instead of feeling like a museum. Both beds were very comfortable and the sheets were super soft. I wish we had more time to spend in the house... or that I could just live there!

Baxter was wonderful about communication and flexibility. We never met but she was only a text away. She, the house that we didn't want to leave and the killer location on South Congress are what made our mini vacation. I strongly suggest checking out the shops in the area and wandering wherever looks interesting, because it is bound to be even cooler than you imagine. I absolutely recommend staying here and hope to do so again soon!"
725177,30353543,2015-04-20,3921136,Jenny,"Baxter's house was beautiful, quirky and so close to South Congress. We LOVED it! Reminded me of the time when I had a sweet little house on Elizabeth St. Such a fun area of town, and such a great place to spend your vacay! "
725177,30865809,2015-04-28,34818,Marc,"Our stay in Austin was amazing and Baxter's place had everything to do with it! The location is perfect. It's just steps away from all of the restaurants, bars and shops on South Congress and it's less than a 10 minute drive from all the bars in Downtown.

The place itself is so fun and you can really tell that each piece has its own story - it made the place that much more interesting. Baxter was an amazing host and I'm so happy we got to meet her and pup Mushroom! "
725177,33290536,2015-05-26,256832,Evan,"Loved the house... comfortable beds, nice layout, well-equipped kitchen, and a turntable with great record selection.  Loved the neighborhood... a quiet, lovely street, but just a block from South Congress and all the food, music, and shopping you could dream of.  And Baxter was friendly and accommodating (she met us at the house even though we got in an hour late, and she put out a third bed based on what I had told her about our group, even though I forgot to ask for it!)"
725177,35891309,2015-06-22,20318174,Erica,"Thank you Baxter for a wonderful stay!  I highly recommend staying at this lovely place.  It is located in a quiet, centrally located neighborhood.  The decor and details of the place are perfect!  Everything was very clean and we felt at home.  The record collection and piano were big hits!  Baxter was incredibly thoughtful, welcoming, and gives amazing recommendations for where to go/eat/drink in Austin.  Can't wait to come back!"
725177,38772819,2015-07-18,25963878,Jennifer,Just absolutely amazing. The best air b n b I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. I'm lucky to say that I can call Baxter a friend after our week stay. ☺️The place is quirky and an ideal stay for anyone who loves music and vintage. The record player was a hit. The area is fantastic. Baxter has really could recommendations for food and entertainment too. If you want a true Austin Texas experience. Stay here ☺️
725177,42466226,2015-08-13,13636662,Julie,"Cute vintage home where you feel like you have stepped back in time.   Great location, clean and comfortable bed.  Baxter was really helpful when I had a schedule change and she was able to accommodate some extra days"
725177,43199706,2015-08-17,23005797,Sarah,"House was in a good location, beds were comfortable.  The kids liked running around the yard.  We brought bikes with so we could easily bike to all the spots we wanted to visit.   Communication with the host was great!"
725177,50729670,2015-10-13,30879197,Tony,Baxter is awesome! She let us stay for the weekend on about an hour's notice when our other host cancelled. The place is really nice and in a great location to walk around SoCo. She had a sweet collection of records too!
659787,3518977,2013-02-11,4880505,Matteson,"This was an amazing find.  The quintessential Austin bungalow in an ideal location.  We loved drinking wine on the front porch at night with the beautiful view of the twinkly downtown skyline; grilling out back by the airstream with the French lighting overhead; the dark mahogany wood floors; the high quality sheets and big bed; the leather couch; all of the amenities like flatscreen TV, surround sound, etc.  Best of all, East 6th was just a short walk and South Congress and downtown were a short bike ride away (we loved the bikes too!). Morning jogs by the lake added a nice touch. Morning coffee at Cenote cafe and lunch at Mr. Natural (I think we saw Matthew McConaughey there!).  The Western Art (by A. Kelly Pruitt) made the stay feel like the real Texas experience. Thanks for making it such a great stay.  We'll be back (if we don't buy a house in the neighborhood ourselves!)."
659787,3830987,2013-03-19,3538419,Rogerio,"Fred and Kellner's home is the most peacefull experience in Austin. Me and two friends were there for SXSW 2013 and had an amazing time. It's a 10 minute walk to the middle of everything. And there are bikes as well!!! My everyday ride to the Convention Center would take less than 5 minutes!!! The house is situated at a very calm neighbourhood.  The street has an amazing sun light. I took tons of pictures outside! But what my instagram followers were dying was the inside of the house. Bedrooms are big, bedsheets are fresh, rich, and new. Bathroom is shared. It stays between the two big bedrooms. Everything is new! Kitchen is large with every appliance you can think of. (And actually a few I've never seen before). Digital washing and drying machines make life so easy. Talking about easy life: the backyard!!!! It's amaaaazing. The best sun light, a large table, comfortable chairs in every corner, a hammock in the shadow and...AN AIRSTREAM!!!! The AIRSTREAM is an experience at its own. It's so cool. People would come visit us to see the airstream. Its been remodeled inside so two people can fit perfectly. Or, as we did, one can feel like a beatnik writer sipping some wine while lessoning good jazz and the trees outside. 
Oh, something else: there's garage so organized and with so many tools that Steve Jobs could've started Apple over there. 
Also fast wifi and a great printer that comes handy if you need it!
And...the porch! I got locked outside once and I tell you there was no problem in just sitting outside, watching that great Austin life walk by.
Was I forgetting the people? No! 
Fred, Kellner, and Gabe of course, thanks so much for all the attention. Bikes, beer, bacon, eggs, all that welcome treat! Thanks a lot! Constantly emailing or checking if everything was fine. Inside tips on where to go. A personalized guide to Austin waiting for us when we got there the first day was such a cool and caring thing to do. ""Cool and caring"" that a fine way to express Fred and Kellner. never met them, love them. What an experience. THANKS SO MUCH. CANT WAIT FOR NEXT SXSW!!!  ROG."
659787,5253737,2013-06-20,11076550,Karen,"Fred & Kellner have a wonderful, welcoming home and I feel lucky to have stayed in their space for a few days. 

The place is SPOTLESS and has everything you need to enjoy a peaceful, relaxing stay. It's close to all that is wonderful in Austin including 2 of the best food trucks I've even had the pleasure of eating from (Veracruz Taco's and East Side (email hidden)). A 5 minute walk will take you to the White Horse Saloon which has 3 live bands every night!! 

Additional highlights: wonderful/funky backyard, bikes!, great neighbors, well equipped kitchen, 10 minute walk to Rainey Street, 15 minute walk to downtown, responsive owners. 

Would recommend this place to anyone. "
659787,7240628,2013-09-13,1516171,Linn,"We've been to Austin to visit family several times now and never found a place we were truly comfortable.  We hit the jackpot this time!  This is a cute, clean bungalow in a great location and for a small house, it lives big.  The beds and pillows were really comfortable.  We loved having the large dining table for playing games and having the whole family over to dinner.  The kitchen is spacious and has everything you could need.  Fred and Kellner (with their wonderful helpers) even stocked the kitchen with coffee and breakfast foods to get us off to a good start.  They were so pleasant to work with and responded quickly to the few questions we had.  We definitely will stay here again."
659787,7711785,2013-09-30,8726437,James,"My twelve year old daughter and I had a wonderful experience staying four nights at Fred and Kellner Phillips bungalow style house in Austin. The house is beautifully restored, and everything worked perfectly.  The air conditioning was exceptional! There was also a great coffee place two blocks away, which was important to me. Downtown is also close by. I highly recommend this house for anyone wanting to stay in Austin."
659787,10899876,2014-03-12,10405260,Ryan,Kellner and Fred were so helpful during the initial process of reserving their house all the way up to our stay.  They have a beautiful home and we were thrilled to have such a peaceful and well located home during our stay in Austin!
659787,11001350,2014-03-17,11020458,Jason,Great space!  Cool neighborhood.  It's a short walk to east Austin spots or downtown.  Fred and Kellner are super-helpful and make sure things go smoothly.
659787,12638429,2014-05-06,14700801,Marita,"What a delightful home to stay in on the wonderful Eastside of Austin!!  This charming, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean place became the resting place for several relatives during our son's wedding.  It made their stay and visit to Austin absolutely stellar.  This situation arose somewhat last minute and Kellner was so on top of making sure all went well.  Her attentiveness and friendly helpfulness made the transaction even more delightful.  This is my first experience with airbnb and I was 200% satisfied and happy with the outcome. This place had everything imaginable that one would need to stay/live comfortably ""away from home""  Thanks Kellner and Fred for this heavenly time."
659787,20817548,2014-10-06,17879272,Krystyna,Lovely home with every amenity possibly needed.  Great neighborhood within walking distance to local hangouts.  Minutes away from downtown.  We had a great stay and enjoyed the well furnished and beautifully decorated bungalow.
659787,21196359,2014-10-13,15813825,Jenna,Great location and very cozy house.  Loved the furniture and decor.  Would definitely recommend to others!
659787,22611193,2014-11-10,9842058,Charles,"Fred and Kellner's home is beautiful! As is their wonderful yard. And you can't beat the neighborhood. They were thorough and thoughtful hosts, and everything in their description was accurate. I would recommend this listing to anyone. "
659787,25780281,2015-01-25,7316535,Raini,"I had the great fortune of staying at this sweet little spot last weekend for a personal staycation. It was wonderful! Nicely appointed, immaculate, everything you might need is there, and it's in a great, eclectic neighborhood with lovely food, artisanal drinks and cool shopping spots.  Kellner was a dream to work with and made everything super easy. I would highly recommend this as a must stay!"
659787,27987514,2015-03-16,1644975,Robby,"Fred and Kellner's house in Austin was the perfect location for SxSW, close enough to walk to and from the event but far enough outside of the hustle and bustle to enjoy some peace and quiet as well. The back patio (with hammock!) is beautiful, and the house is well-furnished but not cluttered. Everything was impeccably clean.

Fred and Kellner were excellent hosts, checking in with us multiple times before we arrives and over the course of our trip, and the extra accommodations they made for our group went a long way towards making our first trip to Austin a great one. 

Gabe, the groundskeeper/manager/all around awesome dude, was super helpful, meeting us when we arrived with a cold beer and a great dinner recommendation and making sure we knew he was only a phone call away at all times. 

I wouldn't hesitate to stay at Fred and Kellner's place on my next trip."
659787,28296705,2015-03-22,11233423,Slade,"For the second year in a row, I spent a week at Fred and Kellner's home in East Austin.  The house is in an excellent location with close proximity to downtown (15-20 minute walk).  The neighborhood itself is up-and-coming with a huge selection of great restaurants within a few blocks.  The house is tastefully decorated with comfortable beds.  The entertainment system is great and includes an AppleTV.  There is an amazing backyard with a functioning grill and picnic table.  

Fred and Kellner were very responsive to all of our questions and made us feel at home.  I would love to stay here again.  "
659787,30737772,2015-04-26,8914041,Scott,Nice 2 bedroom in east austin. It's a short bike ride/ walk to all the great restaurants and bars in the area. Very clean and spacious home 
659787,49429612,2015-10-04,36999828,Erin,"This place is adorable! Every detail of into the decor, furniture, patio oasis makes for such a relaxing bargain retreat. The location is also unbeatable...walk to down town, rainey, last bird, etc. We were able to do everything we wanted to do from this home. Beds were comfy, place was impeccably clean and the ambiance exceeded expectations. Kellner was very responsive...not that we even needed anything. But with any questions, she answered right away. Not only would recommend but hope to come back!"
659787,51921383,2015-10-25,6148973,Richard,"I rented this home for a weekend while some friends were visiting town, and it was perfect. We planned to spend the weekend outdoors and checking out the local bar scene, but the rain from Hurricane Patricia kept us in. This house was the perfect hideaway for hanging out, listening to music and enjoying the company of my friends. Well appointed, too!"
5374761,28183160,2015-03-19,20701468,Heather,"Cale was an exceptional host!  There was a basket of essentials in the second bathroom in case we forgot something, and I thought that was pretty nice.  There was also a pint of Amy's ice cream in the freezer for us, Mexican Vanilla to be exact.  He gave us a tour of the apartment, and let us know where everything was.  The apartment was as described, and very comfortable.  It's close to many restaurants, bars, entertainment, and not far from downtown.  I would definitely stay here again.  "
5374761,28428211,2015-03-23,18396559,Lemboye,Had a great time staying at Cale's place.  Exactly what I was looking for. My friends and I were in town for SXSW. Thankfully the place was enough away from the craziness of downtown but not too far. Apartment was great and spacious with plenty of locations to eat around. Cale was easily available via text and very helpful. I would recommend the place to everyone.
5374761,49794589,2015-10-06,39813222,Kei Adrian,"Cale made me feel very welcome.  His place was listed correctly; also it was in a safe area and next to plenty of places for entertainment. Cale made sure I had everything I need and provided some great information about ""what to do"" in Austin. "
5374761,50467391,2015-10-12,6686747,Frank,"It was a great place and an excellent location. Only a $5 dollar Uber to ACL. Clean bed, snacks laid out, stocked fridge, and wifi. Definitely the better places I've stayed at in Austin. Would recommend this place to anyone!"
1107522,10452889,2014-02-19,8068763,Emily,"Karen's house is the best and she was such a wonderful host. She  gave us recommendations to great restaurants (John Mueller BBQ) and had mini-shampoos, soap and towels ready for us! Also, the decor is well-curated and the location is close to everything, only a few minutes from downtown and SoCo. Also, the kitchen is great with the gas stove and everything you need to cook with. "
1107522,11813424,2014-04-15,11123521,Sara,"Karen was a great host, she gave us great tips on places to eat and even brought us bagels and coffee. The place was clean and had everything we needed, and Karen was more than willing to provide anything we lacked. I loved all the art work especially the mural and her very cute chickens! "
1107522,22353158,2014-11-04,6368896,Sudhir,"This is a wonderful home to stay in and Karen was a wonderful host who was available to any questions or requests at any time. It is ~20 min bus ride from downtown Austin and bus stops on either side of the street make it easy to access downtown. The neighborhood is very quiet (perfect for a good rest after a long, hard day out as we did at the Formula 1 Grand Prix at COTA). Getting from the airport is easy too. The home itself is nice - perfect for 2-3 people. Well furnished and pretty luxurious. Karen left lots of towels and linen for us to use and provided us with beach towels when we requested for some. We would definitely look at Karen' home again in the future if we are visiting Austin."
1107522,25403093,2015-01-14,3905733,River,The reservation was canceled 56 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1107522,28964691,2015-04-01,24201119,Katrina,"This was our family's second stay at the New Annex, and we enjoyed it every bit as much this time around! Our first visit we stayed for an entire month, and have to say it now feels a bit like a second home:) 

Karen and her family are amazing hosts, and the suite comes with a really lovely vibe, freshly made croissants upon arrival, great art (Karen can be my interior decorator!) and is really just all around wonderful. Karen was available whenever we had questions for her, and went beyond her call of duty by lending us toys and offering plenty of suggestions of fun places to take our young kids during the rainy month of December. We loved having a backyard for our kids to play in, and our daughter is totally in love with chickens! 

Other things to note: the bed is really comfortable with nice, good quality sheets and duvets. The tub and shower are awesome, quite spacious, and yes, comes with little shampoo and conditioner bottles. The space is a very spacious one bedroom, and our family of four was quite comfortable here, the high ceilings make it feel lofty and big windows let in plenty of light. 

I was a little unsure of the location at first, but even that turned out to be great as we discovered how easily we could ride our bikes down to the Town Lake loop trail, and I've come to love the vibrancy of all East Austin has to offer. My husband works from home and was able to find several great little cafes and libraries to call his office a short bike ride away, and the kids and I have some new favorite parks, not to mention the Thinkery that is just a hop up the road! 

The Annex was our first airbnb experience, and we will definitely use this service again...we not only had a lovely place to stay while in Austin but we have made some new friends too! "
1107522,31979081,2015-05-12,26608060,Jonathan,"I had a fantastic stay here and must say that I was impressed with how well everything turned out. Initially the neighborhood seemed slightly questionable (some neighboring houses looked like they lacked maintenance and presentation) but Karen's house stood out among them. The New Annex was awesome and absolutely comfortable. Getting up in the morning was always a process because of how comfortable we were. Karen is an excellent host. She's friendly and very hospitable. We were welcomed with carrot cupcakes, and were even able to print a few last-minute things we needed for a festival we were going to. I highly recommend staying here, as it is a fair distance from downtown and most other parts that may be of interest. "
1107522,42460518,2015-08-13,40197593,Neil,"Karen was very welcoming and helpful. We found the location perfect: a quiet neighborhood with easy access to everything we wanted to do in Austin. The information binder was also a helpful touch; we used it find a place to eat our first night when we were tired from driving. Overall a very positive experience. Only drawback for us was the kitchen, which, in my opinion, is not set up for cooking for 3 people."
1107522,47168122,2015-09-16,2071294,Amanda,Thank you Karen for the nice place to stay in Austin during my trip.  I greatly appreciated it!
78908,341330,2011-06-28,444477,Chris,"OMG !!!! What a great experience! Really hip decor, meticulously clean, very inviting, comfy. so South Austin cool....

Patty was great! Very attentive but not at all intrusive. She was so accommodating that when I wanted to rent a bike to ride to town lake (A Must!) , she just let me borrow hers...

She also offered up her kayak for moonlight trip down town lake, but didn't squeeze that in.

Cab ride to Saxon pub dirt cheap, and thinking of reserving for ACL which is also only a few minutes away.

Love the funky South Austin scene, love Patty, loved the whole crazy experience!!!

Thumbs way Up !!"
78908,549331,2011-09-20,653222,Robin,"What a wonderful time! Patty was such a gracious hostess! My best friend and I, in Austin for the Austin City Limits Music Festival, found her home spotlessly clean and inviting. Patty has two adorable dogs who weren't there during our stay, but one would never know if not for their pictures on display. The photos posted on AirBnB fail to capture Patty's stylish flair, but my best friend and I can attest to her home's lovely, welcoming interior. 

Patty made available coffee and milk, and encouraged us to help ourselves, and went out of our way to ensure our stay was comfortable. She even left us a welcome gift and offered guidance on popular neighborhood dining spots!

I would gladly stay at Patty's home again. She's a lovely person and was a wonderful hostess who made our weekend most enjoyable. We're so grateful she chose to share her home with us."
78908,992664,2012-03-12,1814430,Greg,"Patty made my first airbnb booking a huge success. Her place was great: Extremely clean, comfortable, and inviting for visitors. She was also a wonderful host, offering up plenty of local recommendations in the area and local beer in the fridge. More than accomodating. Highly recommended!"
78908,2925599,2012-11-20,2810620,Abe,"We came to Austin for the F1 race and decided to stay at Patty's for the weekend and it was the best decision we could have made! Patty was the best host we could have asked for! She is super cool, attentive, and always made sure everything was right while we were there.  Her house was super nice, clean and very neat.  Everything was just perfect, from the furniture to the appliances just great!
Patty also provided us with local information and even helped us pick and make reservations at a couple of very good restaurants in town! She was just the best host!
We are already planning our next visit to Austin for next year's F1 even and will for sure stay at Patty's (if available).
Patty's house is very central with very easy access to and back from the airport, downtown, the states capitol, restaurants, malls, etc.  Everything seems to be not more than 10-15 mins.
I forgot to mentioned how much we liked Austin too! :) Everyone is super nice and friendly and they welcome you with wide open arms!  The weather was just perfect the entire weekend, downtown is tons of fun and there is tons of really cool local shops and restaurants to choose from!
Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions :)"
1233103,6720856,2013-08-22,1832711,Kelly,"We love Tony and the Monstrosity Loft! What a great space to stay in. Tony is extremely accommodating, and does everything in his power to give you a wonderful experience at his place. This is one of our favorite places, hands down, to stay at while in Austin."
1233103,7538597,2013-09-23,4649981,Sean,"I can not say enough great stuff about Tony and his gorgeous loft.  It is a fantastic place to stay in a great location.  The loft is huge and zany and homey and wonderfully weird.  We walked to all of the SOCO attractions, biked to barton springs and downtown in a flash.  The roof top deck was perfect for a little pre party before going out and even better for some late night star gazing.  Tony knows how to make his guests feel comfortable.  He has created a home away from home and you can tell that he loves sharing it with people.  Tony picked us up when we were stranded in a rainstorm, he gave us a tour of the area with lots of great suggestions.  He was the perfect host."
1233103,8081442,2013-10-15,7847273,Sarah,"Had a fantastic stay at the Monstrosity loft! The place is truly amazing with its funky decor, tall ceilings, and refreshing openness. The roof-top sealed our experience. Perfect for reunions with friends, having people over, or even low-key days/nights with smaller groups. To put it simply, we all felt 'cool' staying at a place like this. We wanted all our friends to experience it! Would definitely stay here again and certainly hope I get the chance to! Thanks for everything, Tony! "
1233103,8195306,2013-10-20,181870,Devin,"Really unique, wonderful place. Easy access to all the shops, restaurants, and carts of S. Congress and S. 1st. Huge, airy loft, ample possibilities for sleeping, hot water. Well-furnished and tastefully appointed. Enormous rooftop deck: perfect for relaxing in the shade with an afternoon Shiner. Would stay again and hope I do!"
1233103,8390773,2013-10-28,9499777,Andria,"Overall good stay. Tony was a good host, however his friend whom let us in the first night seemed strange/ irritated. Though it could of been the fact that we arrived so late in the night. "
1233103,8688075,2013-11-12,686885,Zachary,"Stunning place, and the roof puts it over the top. Tony was a great host. Total deal."

"
1233103,10364014,2014-02-16,11178534,Rebecca,"Tony's Monstrosity Loft was a great place to stay in Austin! My 3 girlfriends and I headed to Austin for a weekend trip and found Tony's loft to be a great base camp. It is close to S. Congress and an easy drive or bikeride to downtown. It felt very centrally located but was on a quiet and safe street. The Loft was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely come back to Tony's loft!"
1233103,11174684,2014-03-24,6511902,Humberto,"Me and four friends had an excellent time staying at the Monstrosity Loft.  The interior and roof deck are excellent for hanging out and the place was located a short car ride away from anywhere we needed to go.  Tony is a great host - really thorough in making sure all guests are well-accommodated, be it with mattresses, sheets, or anything that might be needed.  Also, Doug is pretty cool."
1233103,11754041,2014-04-14,13039744,Matthew,"My first Airbnb stay was at Tony's loft, and we had such an excellent time.

1233103,12317873,2014-04-28,14210172,William,"This place is awesome and tony is an amazing host, we really couldn't have asked for anything more!

the loft itself was SUPER awesome and had way more than enough room to accommodate our stay. We had a group of 6 and we all loved the space so much, especially the deck upstairs, which is were we spent quite sometime enjoying the Austin weather before it got too hot!

The space is literally a 10 mins drive to everything fun, as well as tons of restaurants and convenience stores. 

We were provided with so many amenities and tony was extremely attentive to our needs. My whole group has decided that this is officially our ""go-to"" place whenever we decide to visit Austin again!


"
1233103,12659342,2014-05-07,6929074,Lindsay,Tony is the best host an airbnb guest could ever ask for! He showed us around the city and even drove us all the way to San Antonio for the day! This space is absolutely beautiful and can comfortably fit large groups. It's location in the city is perfect! Everything about our stay in Austin was incredible and Tony and his loft were a large part of that. Can't wait to enjoy some beers on the rooftop patio again someday soon!
1233103,12803587,2014-05-11,810933,Cat,"My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay at the monstrosity loft.  It is comfortable, fun, funky, & very authentic Austin.  If you are looking for fancy this is not the place for you, but if you want a great local experience, then stay here! Tony was a great host, very easy going and helpful. We also loved that we could bring our little dog."
1233103,13012958,2014-05-17,2938516,Jay,Great Host! Great communication. Loved the place. I miss it already. Thanks Tony.
1233103,13475418,2014-05-28,694346,Michelle,"My three friends and I had a great time at the loft. The space is airy and bright and had everything we needed for the weekend. The building is set back from the street and shares a lot with a few other rental units. It is on a safe, quiet street and is very close to tacos. We wished we had rented a car to help us easily get around Austin as the areas between the loft and the city were not always pedestrian-friendly. Tony was there to welcome us and was friendly and helpful."
1233103,14666514,2014-06-23,1110475,Meghan,The loft is a very cool and unique space.  Tony was a great host!  I would definitely recommend staying here.
1233103,16107927,2014-07-22,7260618,Jim,The Monstrosity Loft was perfect for my friends and I. The process was also very convenient. 
1233103,18185616,2014-08-23,256942,Rob,"The  loft was a great place for the three of us staying there plus a couple friends in town to meet for work meetings during the day, and not too far from things to do in the evenings.  Tony was a great host, making sure we had everything we needed, and if there was anything he needed from the space called ahead to make sure he wasn't interrupting us or disturbing our privacy.  Everything you want from a airbnb host and space, highly recommended."
1233103,18894551,2014-09-02,834787,Amanda,"This place is absolutely great! 

When we arrived we were let in by one of Tony's artist residents, who showed us around and was very nice. There were 5 of us in our group and the Monstrosity Loft had plenty of room for all of us to sleep between a normal bed, a chaise lounge, a twin blow-up mattress, and a queen blow-up mattress. The loft also had a full kitchen, which we utilized to make ourselves breakfast one morning.

My favorite piece of the loft though is the shower...I WILL have a shower like this one day. It is roomy with a rainfall style shower head that makes every shower perfect & peaceful!

Once we were settled in we met Tony, who was very nice and welcoming. He had to come to the loft a few times to grab a few things. Each time he was very courteous about notifying us before he would be coming up.

All-in-all, I highly recommend the loft for anyone staying in Austin with a group!"
1233103,20055820,2014-09-22,16385966,Ian,Tony made us feel welcome in his home. The loft was clean and comfortable. The area around the loft was nice and was only a few minutes drive to downtown.
1233103,20896160,2014-10-07,18066257,Jake,"Tony was very accommodating and the place was just as advertised. It was a great place for the number of people we had, and we had no problem getting around Austin from the location. "
1233103,21275939,2014-10-14,5391423,Eileen,"We had a great stay in Austin at the loft. The overall space is very very cool and very bright and airy. 2 of us stayed in the double bed in the bedroom while 1 slept in the main living area on a futon which she indicated was very comfortable. There are lots of comfy seating options so we spent nearly every morning before heading out to the ACL festival lounging around with coffee and reading. We did have some nice weather so were able to spend some time on the rooftop as well which was great. It's walking distance from S. Congress and a grocery store which was great since we opted not to rent a car for the weekend. There are a few other great spots in walking distance including coffee shops, food trucks, a wine bar, etc...We felt very safe in the neighborhood. It was great to have a few different coffee maker options (french press, kuerig and drip) and to have a full size fridge for supplies. The space was clean, the bathroom was great with ample linens, toilet paper, etc...There are definite 'DIY' aspects to certain things but totally expected by us in a loft/studio space. We would definitely consider staying here again on a return trip. Tony wasn't able to meet us on arrival but provided clear instructions on getting in as well as a backup contact if we had issues. "
1233103,21625254,2014-10-20,6081753,Ashley,"Tony was such an amazing host , full of information about south austin.  The location of this lovely loft was perfect.  We were very impressed with the layout and comfotability of the space.  Our entire group have stated we will one day be back at monstrosity.  Thank you tony you are wonderful.  "
1233103,22350709,2014-11-03,23194324,Jessica,"This was our first experience with AirBnB and it was great! Tony was super understanding and accommodating! The Monstrosity Loft was a great space and the perfect size for the 7 of us that stayed! It's in a wonderful location off of South Congress that was really easy to get to! Great decorations and vibe in the Loft, I'd highly recommend it! "
1233103,22649470,2014-11-11,751708,Shara,"Tony was a wonderful host. He was extremely attentive, and created a very comfortable space for us while we stayed in Austin. His space is gorgeous, eclectic, central, and has so many amenities. I'd recommend staying with Tony if you're traveling through Austin."
1233103,22930490,2014-11-17,4115456,Samantha,"Although we never met Tony, he was really great with communicating with us! He was very flexible with check in/ check out and was easy to reach if we needed him. We loved the loft and it was in a perfect location for visiting Austin! We would definitely stay again!"
1233103,23949075,2014-12-15,584791,Drew & Brittany,"Tonys place was a perfect home base for our weekend. The location is great, less than 10 minutes to anywhere you need to go in the city. The space is huge, and was perfect for our group of 5. Would recommend to anyone! "
1233103,25017830,2015-01-05,4313539,Mark,"Tony was fantastic, great location in SoCo and super quick ride to downtown and 6th St.
He was always available and very accommodating.
Place was super mellow and low-key, we loved the loft."
1233103,26990864,2015-02-23,16141145,Ryan,Unfortunately events played out in such a way that I did not get to stay in Tony's loft. No fault of Tony's but he did his best to still work with us. I hope to see this awesome looking loft on a future trip.
1233103,27340220,2015-03-02,24155957,Victoria,"Tony was very welcoming and accommodating, and the place was fabulous! Perfect location for adventuring all over Austin, and a good size for a party of 6 to 8 people. "

1233103,27808369,2015-03-12,28245375,Linda,Tony was great in making sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the Monstrosity Loft!
1233103,28784989,2015-03-30,26606502,Jasen,"Great spot for my friend's bachelor party. We had plenty of space to hang out, plenty of parking too. Tony is a great host and has so many unique things that keep your guests entertained."
1233103,29341303,2015-04-06,29897228,Viri,"We loved staying at the Monstrosity Loft! Tony was very responsive, flexible and accomodating. I was a first time airbnb user and Tony was super patient to respond to my many questions. The place was super charming and just as described. It was perfect for our group and what we were looking for. Lots of open space, large windows, great bathroom space and awesome rooftop (too bad it was rainy when we were there). Overall, what I would envision to be the perfect Austin experience. "
1233103,29916538,2015-04-14,19462028,Aly,"Tony was awesome!  The loft was awesome!  The weekend was perfect!  I spent a long 4 day weekend here with a few friends.  It fit 5 people and could fit even more comfortably.  High ceilings great natural light, and a killer roof deck!  The location is close to SoCo and easy ride to 6th or Rainey St. It's a hipster's dream. "
1233103,32604751,2015-05-19,25859881,Kate,"This place is amazing! We had out of town guests, and were wanting to give them the Austin experience, and this was IT! Great location, quiet street, super interesting property. "
1233103,35170338,2015-06-15,4332713,Micaela,"The loft space was wonderful. Large, clean, very bohemian, lovely all around. Easy 5 minute uber to South Congress. Not really walking distance to much but cheap and easy to get everywhere via uber. Tony was easy to communicate with. Lastly, the upstairs deck was amazing. Really great place the have sunset drinks. Hope to return in the future! "
1233103,36626688,2015-06-29,3438698,Dennis,"Tony was an excellent host.
He was always available for questions and helped with check in.
He was very clear on all the details and was available whenever needed without being intrusive. Thank you Tony!
We enjoyed the monstrosity loft."
1233103,37342975,2015-07-06,4186261,Shelby,"The space was nice! It was a nice urban setting, and the rooftop patio was a really nice place to spend time. "
1233103,38338839,2015-07-14,9601262,Eddie,Tony's loft was great!  Plenty of space for 4 guys and plenty close to SoCo!  I would not hesitate to stay here again.  Thanks Tony!
1233103,39055027,2015-07-20,26873290,Nick,Size of the loft and location was excellent if you're looking for somewhere close to downtown and anywhere else you need to get in Austin. Perfect for larger groups that want an option to hang out where they are staying instead of being out the entire time. Tony made the process very easy and we had zero problems while we were there checking in or out. If I'm ever back in Austin and looking for an AirBnB I'd definitely check to see if Tony's loft was available. 
1233103,39350219,2015-07-22,4775402,Odile And François,"Tony's loft is awesome, with a large space full of light and also furnished and decorated with lots of taste. The roof terrace is a big plus.  this house is located in a pleasant area, both very calm and located close to the areas ""where the action is"".
The place is big enough to accommodate a family of six like us.
Tony was fast in replying to our questions and answering our needs. 
We would certainly recommend the place and come back with great pleasure!"
1233103,41017634,2015-08-03,17732617,Kirk,"Tony's loft is a spacious and well decorated space that is close to hip South Congress bars and restaurants. We were able to take a Lyft or Uber for $10 or less around the city center. Tony was great and  available in person/via text to get us settled in and to answer any questions we had. The next time I'm in Austin, I will definitely be connecting with Tony again!"
1233103,41520686,2015-08-07,17392791,Nicholas,"The loft was gorgeous, huge, tastefully decorated, well equipped, comfortable and well located. Tony was the perfect host, striking the right balance of friendly, helpful and easygoing!"
1233103,42617887,2015-08-14,6705890,Wayne,"Tony was easy to work with. He met me at the place and went over everything. I was using the place mainly for some photography while my place was out of commission. It's perfect for photography - high ceilings, lots of open space. Tony had removed a lot of furniture in the main room which must have been a lot of work. 
It's a unique, comfortable place. I'd recommend it to anyone. "
1233103,44016499,2015-08-23,256391,Daniel,Tony was a great host. The apartment is exactly as pictured and is very comfortable. It is easy to get anywhere in the city and Tony was very quick to reply to any questions we have. I would highly recommend staying at the apartment. 
1233103,46172833,2015-09-08,31997898,Maddie,Great space that fit us all in and was unique and fun and truly rounded out our Austin experience! Would definitely stay here again!
1233103,47178724,2015-09-16,12360869,Laura,"Beautiful space, amazing rooftop deck! There were six of us, and we fit comfortably with two air mattresses provided by Tony.  As a host, Tony was friendly and helpful - responsive when he needed him, but he also gave us our space to enjoy the loft. Great location on a pretty residential block about a 10-15 minute walk from the heart of South Congress. Would definitely recommend/return if ever back in Austin!
"
1233103,48896332,2015-09-29,20579312,Milada,This was such an awesome airbnb.  So unique and relaxing.  It's also so close to everything.  Tony is great!! Super responsive to when we needed anything.  This airbnb just made our trip to Austin perfect :)
1233103,49378659,2015-10-03,26763569,Christopher,"The Monstrosity is fantastic. It's a dream, really. Stay there! While I never met Tony, everyone else around the property was friendly and helpful. Plus, giant private rooftop! Awesome"
1233103,49762043,2015-10-06,33734215,Gordon,"Tony was very receptive, he was there to welcome us and show us around the loft which was very accurate as described. "
1233103,50614603,2015-10-13,20474458,Sophie,"Description was accurate, easy to find, great location. Loft and space was very cool, and perfect for what we were looking for. It is walking distance from some of the cool neighborhoods, but it's a bit before you get to the cool areas. Would definitely stay on site again if I was back in the Austin area! "
247770,994460,2012-03-13,1746314,Sofia,"Gloria was a really friendly host! It was simple to get the key, find the house, everything was ready for us. It was the perfect place for our stay. Thanks a lot!"
3831262,21148299,2014-10-12,4951534,Brandon,Denise was an amazing host. The place was in a cool hip part of town with plenty to walk to. She went out of her way to help make our stay very enjoyable. 
3831262,21498178,2014-10-18,2407913,J.P.,"Denise was an amazing host! Her place had a great, trendy vibe and was packed with a wonderful sense of decor. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about the city, and we were fortunate to spend some quality time with her having a beer and chatting about everything under the sun. You will have a great time with Denise as your host and will enjoy your stay, that I can guarantee! "
3831262,21892103,2014-10-26,1331451,Nicholas,"Comfortable and cozy room in great house, walking distance from downtown. Denise is super nice. She showed me around the house and gave tips about where to go in Austin."
3831262,22603485,2014-11-10,12038293,Chris,Denise is a very welcoming and accommodating host.  I stayed there while visiting my daughter.  She visited for 2 of the four nights.  While this place is not marketed as a family rental it worked great.  Her dogs are very friendly.  The location is great.  I did not get to see the small house but it looks really cool from the outside.  I biked everywhere.  She even put together a little grab bag of amusements for my daughter and had some nice local beer for me.  Great documentation and information about the place as well.
3831262,25582623,2015-01-19,26138201,Thien,"Denise's place was near 6th street and Franklin's BBQ. There was a plumbing issue with the room we booked, Denise quickly resolved it by letting us stay at her tiny house instead. We had tons of privacy and had a great time!"
3831262,26625550,2015-02-16,2362643,Allegra,"Staying with Denise was an absolute delight, and our best Airbnb experience yet! The house is clean and cozy, and in a great location for walking to East Austin bars (East Side Show Room, Wonderland, The White Horse) and eateries (Hillside Farmacy, Mettle, Blue Dahlia). We didn't have a car, but Ubers from the house were affordable.

Denise provided us with such amenities as local beers in the fridge; Keurig coffees and teas; English muffins for breakfast; freshly washed towels; fresh, high quality bath products; and a bouquet of gardenias in our room since she'd just finished painting the walls and was mindful of the smell. The house has a lot of Austin character, and the backyard is a treasure, though we sadly didn't get a chance to enjoy it too much since we were mostly out and about. Denise has two excitable dogs, but as someone who isn't a dog person, I was grateful that she kept them in her bedroom as much as possible (especially in the mornings). My one note would be that the bed was extremely soft, so if you're one of those people who can't sleep or can't function the next day if you've slept on a soft mattress, than this bed might not be the one for you. Other than that, I can only say terrific things about this stay. Denise has the perfect combo of ""my house is your house"" and B&B mentality (she told us she's spent a lot of time in B&Bs before, and it shows). I would definitely book here again if I'm back in Austin!"
3831262,27555404,2015-03-07,3200782,Clement,"Great place ! Denise's house is cute, clean and well located. Denise is also the nicest host, and even bought breakfast and coffee for us. "
3831262,27842163,2015-03-13,14654291,Dan,"Even though I was staying only one night before the insanity of SXSW, Denise treated me as if I were staying the entire week. She went out of her way to make me feel welcome. I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
3831262,28376528,2015-03-23,22854985,Suzanne,"Denise was a perfect host, making us feel welcome and giving local information.  She even sorted out taxis for us when we left which was above and beyond what she needed to do. We had access to all facilities and Denise put herself out to make sure we could access the shower/bathroom when we had plans to go out.    Area has charm and character, little bit of a walk to town but certainly doable. We felt safe walking around at night.  Nice little taco stand around the corner and some other cafés and shops about five minutes walk away.  We were two friends staying in her spare room rather than the cute micro house, it's probably better for a couple but we managed with no arguments.  Clean towels for us, toiletries left out, like a hotel but with more charm. Thanks Denise, wonderful stay. "
3831262,29061953,2015-04-03,15063003,Larissa,"Denise was such an amazing hostess. This was our first Airbnb experience just renting a room and not the whole place, but we felt completely welcomed and at home at Denise's. We absolutely adored her doggies as well! We were only in town briefly and had to tend to a lot of business and sadly couldn't enjoy and partake in all of the amenities and services Denise provided such as her fully stocked kitchen, Keruig coffee/tea maker, TV, etc. She graciously allowed us to use her printer and even gave us a stamp for us to mail some documents. Denise gave us a lot of suggestions and shared a lot of advice which we totally appreciated! Thanks, Denise, for a great stay! "
3831262,30884294,2015-04-28,30277120,Christopher,"Denise was really great. She was helpful with everything around the home, as well as with the local area. The house was awesome, and it was a nice place to stay in Austin."
3831262,37270995,2015-07-05,16220072,Kathy,"The location of the house couldn't have been better, minutes from downtown (I don't think we spent more than $10 on an Uber at any given time).  Neighborhood is very hip and urban but still feels safe and homey plus the house is absolutely adorable.  As a host Denise couldn't have been more accommodating.  She helped us out on our last minute weekend road trip and made herself very available for any questions that we had.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat, I highly recommend!"
1896500,8680304,2013-11-11,9854318,Krystle,Emily's place was great! It was perfect for the three of us. Her apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The location is a 10 min drive to the downtown area. There are some good places to hangout at close by as well. Elizabeth - who was managing the place was very lovely and accommodating for us. Would definitely love to stay at this place again. 
1896500,8801632,2013-11-18,9888442,Justin,"The Condo was fantastic! Very clean and in a great location. Elizabeth, who manages the unit, was very nice and had the unit set up almost like a hotel with toiletries, coffee, tea, even some oatmeal for breakfast! This was my first experience with AirBnB and it far surpassed my expectations. I will definitely try to stay here again next time I'm in Austin!"
1896500,9678575,2014-01-05,4962447,Tom,"I stayed at Emily's Condo for about a month and loved it!  The layout is very nice. The bed is comfortable, and the entertainment center is great!  The location is very nice in the heart of the Hyde park neighborhood."
1896500,11504434,2014-04-06,1410661,Nathan,"Emily's condo was the perfect size and location for my wife and I during our recent visit to Austin. Elizabeth, who manages the property, was a great host and made the whole process effortless. We would gladly stay here again the next time we find ourselves in Austin! "
1896500,11801878,2014-04-15,7503346,Maria,""
1896500,13565624,2014-05-31,5500528,Barbara,"Thank you very much Elizabeth for all you did for me.  Emily is lucky to have a good friend like you to take care of her property.  I enjoyed my stay at the condo.  The place is great.  Good location being near UT Austin and the Capitol.  Good location for shopping and eating places.  Central Market is very near and is the best grocery store in Austin.  Again, thank you.  I would recommend this Condo to friends and family and hope to come back.  "
1896500,14588315,2014-06-22,16945389,Ben,"Great location and perfect for my wife & I on our latest trip to Austin. Elizabeth was a great host especially with my last minute booking and extended stay! I would definitely recommend! Thanks Again, -BEN-"
1896500,15360320,2014-07-07,17259683,Donna,"I loved staying at Emily's condo on my recent trip to Austin. It was great working with Elizabeth, the apartment was very clean and a great size for 3 people. The condo is very charming and the location is great. I will definitely stay here again in the future!"
1896500,18424709,2014-08-26,18117586,Mark,"No problems at all. Clean condo. Emily was very helpful and available. Nice neighborhood with well kept older homes. I took walks in the neighborhood and felt safe. Small park nearby, with pool. Lots of non-chain type stores, restaurants, coffee shop/bakery nearby. Even a small grocery store. Condo small, but plenty of room for two people.
"
1896500,23592741,2014-12-06,645816,Stephan,"I had very pleasant three months here. Elizabeth made me feel welcome from day one, and she was always available for help and support. The apartment is located in a very nice and green area of Austin, 1 minute from the next bus station and five minutes from the next supermarket. The apartment is relatively small but cozy, and it has all the amenities needed for an enjoyable stay. Sometimes it was a bit noisy at night, but that is not because the neighbors were loud, but just due to the way these condos were built...I guess the isolation isn't that great. All in all I can wholeheartedly recommend to all AirBnB travelers."
1896500,25630456,2015-01-21,24090608,May,"Elizabeth was very accommodating and when the knob on the front door fell off, she sent a locksmith straightaway. David was also very nice and came in fast when quite a number of the light bulbs at the apartment blew. The only complaint was the neighbor upstairs must have been a giant as his foot steps sure sounded like he was. Woke us up early and kept us up late most times."
1896500,31377457,2015-05-04,29406373,Chris,"The location/neighborhood is great and there is plenty to do. The unit is older but comfortable. As others have noted, the upstairs neighbors are loud and you can hear every step. Overall, the stay was good and hassle free. "
1896500,33382311,2015-05-27,9993718,William,"My wife & I stayed in this condo for about 8 days - we had a great time.  It's a good size, has a sufficiently equipped kitchen, etc.  Internet speeds were great and the neighborhood was nice and several food and grocery options were within walking distance.  We definitely recommend this place!"
1896500,34023657,2015-06-03,33918600,David,"I had a great stay at Emily's condo.  The unit is quite small, but well kept and very clean.  Emily's agent, Elizabeth, was great to work with.  She was very responsive, communicative, and she generally did everything that she could to insure that everything went smoothly.  I would stay here again on my next Austin trip."
1896500,34741234,2015-06-11,8762597,Alex,"The condo was great, quiet and perfect central location. The management was friendly and easy to deal with. 
"
1896500,35916560,2015-06-23,28432587,Tacara,"Elizabeth was a great host, helpful with checking in and letting us know all about the place. Not sure if the place had wifi since it wasn't listed in the posting, but upon finding the router name and password, I would have loved to use it! The plumbing was a bit annoying, but they explained that it was getting fixed soon. Verizon cell service was poor, very spotting, if working at all. Overall, the next time I am in Austin, I would stay in this condo again. "
1896500,38181811,2015-07-13,36011100,Victoria,This condo was perfect for my partner and I. Location was great for exploring Austin. The place was tidy and communication was excellent. We stayed here for just over a week and would recommend to anyone wanting a private and easy stay in this beautiful city. 
1896500,39648489,2015-07-25,9371154,Jeff,"The location was great! Elizabeth was patient with our arrival time.

The kitchen is equipped for cooking, and the utensils and pans work well.

The mattress is worn out. It's loud. You can hear it with every movement. You can feel the springs.

Elizabeth let us know about the water issue in the condo complex and gave us some advice. There is no cold water. Hot water comes out of all faucets, the shower, and the toilet. If you leave the cold side running for a couple of minutes the water will be warm. We thought we could deal with it, so we stayed, but this really is a big problem."
4994857,26556399,2015-02-15,19867438,Austin,They left good instructions! There was a little bit of dead bugs in the bathroom when we arrived but otherwise clean. 
4994857,28071747,2015-03-17,10710701,Sara,"This apartment was wonderful to stay at, very comfortable, and very clean. It also has some great restuarant a nearby, and very close to downtown. It made my overall Austin experience great!
One important note though, although I'm from New York and this doesn't bother me as much as it may bother others, there is a cockroach problem in the apartment. I'm sure this is something that can addressed, though, as the apartment was very clean otherwise!"

4994857,33127723,2015-05-25,9390659,Will,This place was awesome and the host was very responsive. The location was beyond perfect. The apartment was immaculate. Definitely would stay again.   
4994857,41690947,2015-08-08,40026670,Andrea,The unit was clean and cool when we arrived late at night in the 100+ degree heat.  There were water bottles waiting for us.  The unit was exactly as expected.  I especially liked the luxurious towels in the bathroom!

4994857,49592447,2015-10-05,2755467,Will,"This was my friends and I first time in Austin to attend the ACL Festival.  From the booking to the checkout Melody was great with any questions or concerns we had.   The location was ideal for the festival, shopping on areas and a hop and skip over to Downtown.  Great place all around!"
4994857,50429272,2015-10-12,25237271,Jordan,Clean and nice.

6878518,47875281,2015-09-21,7098402,Ovidiu,"While this Airbnb stay was not my first rodeo it was a first time experience for the person that joined me. I'm usually apprehensive about booking places on Airbnb that don't have ""sufficient"" positive reviews but really liked the look and location of the condo and decided to just go for it. The short version of it - I can honestly say that we had a great experience and our stay at Becky's place was just what we had hoped. 

The condo itself is exactly as pictured and honestly I was secretly wishing I was living there. Gated complex in quiet neighborhood and a covered parking spot? That's pretty good in my book. This was Becky's second Airbnb hosting but you wouldn't know that from the way she handled it since she was really great at providing all the right and useful information to get to and into her place as well as information about TV, wi-fi, etc. And even when we had a small hiccup right before departure due to a stubborn key lock, Becky was there to save the day and get us sorted out and on our way. 

Based on our experience staying at Becky's place for one night I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. 

Becky, thank you for sharing your place with us and wish you best of luck with all future Airbnb experiences."
6878518,50301736,2015-10-11,16964294,Ricae,Becky's apartment was clean with a great location! She quickly answered any questions I had :)
667916,2926392,2012-11-20,3383727,Ryan,"Annessa and Michael's house was an absolute joy to stay in.  The pride they have in their home is so inspiring...  It is even nicer than the pictures can show.  Super roomy and comfortable for my party.  It's close to everything, and we had no problem finding amazing food and good times within minutes of the house.  Neighborhood was quiet, and we wound up giving one of the neighbors a ride to the F1 race...  Can't wait to come back next year!"
667916,7912703,2013-10-08,6371484,Pamela,"This is one of the most beautiful spacious houses i have stayed in through airbnb. It was a great location for getting to Zilker park by foot and an easy 2mile stroll to the entertainment of South Congress.
The best part about the house is how accommodating/friendly the home owner Annessa was. Not only did she take her time to show us all round the house but she had also left numerous goodies -juices, coffee, bread, cheeses, wine, beer and toiletries. This was an unexpected treat!
I would highly recommend this home, we had 9 adults in total and there were no issues accommodating us all.
 
"
667916,8078220,2013-10-15,6990105,Roark,"Fantastic home...warm and comfortable...made for a near-perfect Austin base of operations.  The hosts were generous with their home and available for advice/answers to questions/etc.  Would definitely return here if our travels take us back through town.

Highly, highly recommended."

667916,10997630,2014-03-17,9196533,Brian,"Everything was great for our SXSW stay.  The home was perfect, there was plenty of room to accommodate all of the guests and the location worked out well.  Mrs. Baird was even kind enough to leave us coffee, food and drinks.  

The group consensus was that we would rent the home again.

"
667916,21282577,2014-10-14,19473859,Matthew,"Felt very at home. The house was extremely neat, clean, we had everything we needed and more. She even supplied us with some food and drinks!

We had more than enough room with 6 of us staying there. Could have easily accommodated a few more.

The backyard was very private and the neighborhood was peaceful. We hung out in the back, listened to music and never felt like we were bothering anyone.

Can't say enough about the warm welcome that was offered when we arrived and it truly is a great location if you want to be very close to all the action downtown!!

Would definitely stay here again!

Thanks Annessa!!"
667916,28380007,2015-03-23,3510620,Caroline,"From booking to departure (and even a bit after when I discovered I left something in the house), Annessa was gracious and welcoming.  SUPER easy to communicate with, even though we did not meet her in person.  My group of 7 was very comfortable -- 4 of us shared 2 queen-sized beds, and the rest slept alone on a twin, a double futon, and an air mattress.  You could fit 3 more folks in those spaces, but they'd have to be good friends!  There were plenty of linens for everyone, and the house is even more beautiful and spacious than it appears in the photos.  For our SXSW trip, this location was great -- away from the downtown madness but just a short cab ride to the action.  I also imagine that if you had a bike, you'd probably find it easy to ride downtown.  The neighborhood is quiet, the neighbors friendly, and all in all this was a perfect stay for us.  Highly recommend and would absolutely return!"
667916,49757756,2015-10-06,27410694,Jodi,"The picture of the front of the house does not do it justice.  The home is absolutely gorgeous inside. Updated appliances, large granite counter tops, a ton of seating and comfortable beds.  The price and the location are perfect.
The house was fully stocked, clean and well maintained.  The kitchen was well organized which made finding things very easy.  We had a party of 8 & it was spacious for all.  She even had a large back yard & BBQ  with even more seating but we never had time to use it, ACL kept us quite busy.   Annessa made herself easily available via phone/e-mail, although we did not need to contact her for anything.  I'll give Annessa & her home a well deserved 5 plus star rating!  Thanks Annessa! Beautiful home indeed!"
667916,50428275,2015-10-12,32091385,Francesca,"Annessa's house was lovely and our group really enjoyed the trip to Austin thanks to her home! She left the house organized for our arrival with instructions in a binder including FAQ, restaurant recommendations nearby and sleeping accommodation details. She was even kind enough to leave us late night snacks in her freezer with a note saying ""in case you are hungry"". The bathrooms were clean and spacious and the kitchen is very spacious for large breakfast gatherings. In addition to her hospitality, her location was perfect for our visit to ACL! I've never had a smoother renting process using airbnb. Thank you Anneessa!"
6433042,33192385,2015-05-25,28864497,Mary,Will was very accommodating and checked in with us to  ensure we had all that we needed. The video was a nice touch and very much needed to find the place. We were only there to sleep and suited us well.
300574,933570,2012-02-20,473333,Steve,What a perfect little place! Super great neighborhood. Walked to the lake and some great restaurants on 1st Street. Very comfy bed and cool little kitchen! Veronica is really sweet and a great host!
300574,1013303,2012-03-18,1728278,Laura,"The loft is beautiful and comfortable, and Veronica is very nice and friendly!  It's a great place to stay!"
300574,1139933,2012-04-16,1037277,John,"First off, if you are looking for a cool little place to stay, near all of the South Austin hot spots look no further.  Book this wonderfully eclectic slice of Austin cool today.  My buddy and I visited Austin for a recent car show, and needed a safe place to park our classic vehicle, Veronica was very accommodating and made space available to us.  Her place is amazing to say the least; the decor was a classic twist on cool, very retro, clean, and comfortable.  I will be returning to Austin next year and am looking forward to staying with her again.  By the way, she was a great host; we would see her daily in her garden or out on South Congress, very nice and super cool!

Thanks Veronica, see you soon!

300574,1244766,2012-05-07,2207886,Shea,"Veronica is a doll, and the cottage is a gem!  We absolutely loved it.  It was perfect for couple of girlfriends enjoying Austin for the weekend.  Location is excellent: close to Barton Springs and SoCo.  Decor is fab and bed was very comfortable (as well as the sleeper on the first floor)."
300574,1905817,2012-08-06,3034561,Kristin,Veronica's cottage loft is adorable and it was absolutely perfect for our stay in Austin! A perfect example of quirky/fun Austin. Veronica was very extremely nice and welcoming. I would 100% stay here again.
300574,1962972,2012-08-12,795702,Eric,"Veronica's place was perfect. The location, the funky decor, the comfy bed and all the privacy one could want, with a friendly hostess to boot. I would definitely come back to Veronica's place the next time I'm in Austin. "

300574,2418154,2012-09-26,2078,Dorothy,"I had a wonderful visit to Austin staying in this gorgeous loft home.   It was on a quiet street, and only a short walk from South Lamar and the Alamo Drafthouse where I was spending all my time.   Yet it felt remote, cozy, relaxing even though it was in the middle of everything.  The bed was comfortable, the shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water, and the place was incredibly spacious.  Also Veronica was a pleasure to deal with along the way.  I would absolutely stay there again and recommend anyone book the place. "
300574,2558353,2012-10-09,2361101,Robyn,"Really cute and cozy place, perfect for a couple, and in a great location! "
300574,2599329,2012-10-13,3433596,Michael,"The good stuff first: the place is adorable, the host, Veronica, and her daughter (who we met on our way out) are super sweet and friendly, there's tons of beautiful sunlight that comes into the cottage, there was beer in the fridge and the location CAN NOT be beat: you're a 1-2 mile walk to almost everything in downtown and there's parking space if you're renting a car. I stayed with my girlfriend and it was the perfect amount of room for a couple, with a full bathroom and kitchen and queen bed.

Our only complaint (and the reason for 4/5 instead of 5/5 stars) is the price felt a bit too high for no TV and no internet (I was there for a technology conference, wireless internet would have been REALLY helpful)."
300574,2634910,2012-10-16,3666302,Sylvia,Veronica's place was very comfortable and convenient. I really liked the neighborhood and my daily hikes to and from Zilker park as I attended three days of ACL.. I thought it was amazing how she converted an old garage into such a cute and functional little living space. Gave me some good ideas. 
300574,2728081,2012-10-27,3181790,Silke And David,We had an execellent time in the cottage! Veronica was very helpful and friendly and we could not have had a better host. Will come back next time we are in Austin!
300574,2761510,2012-10-30,3678114,Christopher,"We came to Austin for a weekend trip and loved staying in the Loft. The house was cozy and a nice mixture of old and new. It is close to the park, downtown, South Congress/S.1st and next visit I will not rent a car. Veronica responded quickly to emails and there were no surprises."
300574,2822741,2012-11-07,3176378,Andrea,"Veronica is amazing and so is the house. The place is so cute and comfy, and in a perfect location. We were in walking distance of South Congress and Auditorium shores. Downtown is walkable just a bit farther.  The location is very private and extremly quite and super peacful!Thank you Veronica!!"
300574,2929409,2012-11-20,2743712,John,"Veronica was a lovely host.  We were in Austin for the Formula One car race and the town was packed. Veronica's place is on a quiet street just south of downtown.  The cottage stand alone and is quite large, with a loft for the bed and bathroom.  The only caveat is that he loft stairs are very steep and uneven but we had no problem negotiating them. The kitchen had full sized appliances that were serviceable, if not the most modern.   Veronica has WiFi but no cable or satellite TV.  

All in all, a good host and place. "
300574,3032331,2012-12-05,4161109,Dennis,"If you think crumbling sheetrock, questionable electric wiring, dirty pans in the cupboard, dust and greasy finger marks everywhere, used bars of handsoap in a dish by the sink,  etc. add up to ""groovy and hip""  then this place is for you. 
Staying for 5 nights, I asked for some clean towels, and a sheet that would actually FIT the bed; but Veronica balked at complying with these and other simple requests. Since I had booked for 5 nights, and the cancellation policy was ""strict "",  I decided to tough it out. Unfortunately, it  got from bad to worse.
 There was a dead possum in the yard the next morning, and Veronica placed it in the garbage can outside the front door of the loft. After a couple of days the stench was so bad you had to hold your nose going in and out of the place, and couldn't open any windows because of  the awful smell just outside the front door.
If your looking for a clean, habitable place with an accomodating host, pass this one by."
300574,3305338,2013-01-07,1161022,Joseph,"Visited Veronica's cottage while taking some time away from work..and well..life.  I couldn't have found a better place.  It was just as described, groovy..and hip.  Most of the items throughout the space I could only visualize how they came to be where they were.  

The place was quite warm, quiet, and just what we needed..relaxing.  "
300574,3342582,2013-01-14,4071268,Jane,Really enjoyed our stay in the cute little cottage. The amenities are comfortable and the location is outstanding. Veronica is a delightful and friendly host. Will definitely go back!

Veronica was very friendly in giving us recommendations."
300574,3595007,2013-02-20,1208372,Richard,"Veronica's location is the best. We were walking distance from SOCO and other areas of interest.  Veronica's cottage has lots of room, lots of light, and a comfortable bed. The kitchen is nicely appointed. The decorations in the cottage are inspirational and delightful. It was a great stay."

300574,3919418,2013-03-27,839657,Mark,"Veronica was great- friendly without being obtrusive.  The place is well kept and in a great quiet, picturesque location convenient to downtown and the south congress area.  The check-in with keyless entry was so convenient."
300574,3972958,2013-04-01,4768728,Jimmy,"With the PaleoFX 2013 conference happening at the Palmer Center, this cute little cottage house was located just one-third of a mile up the hill. Most of the other attendees were in a hotel nearly a mile away from the event. This is a central location and within walking distance of most places you would want to visit.

The loft itself was pretty good. That big bed upstairs was amazing and I slept great. There's a second bed downstairs my roommate enjoyed with comfort. There are a few interesting noises you'll hear late at night/early in the morning like a train whistle or the occasional car driving by, but it's mostly pretty quiet.

There was only one incident that happened on the final night of my visit. I heard a gnawing sound downstairs around 5AM and went to investigate. When I didn't see anything, I tried going back upstairs to sleep but was again awakened by the gnawing sound. When I went back downstairs, I could see where a mouse had gotten on top of the refrigerator and thrown down on my almond butter and dark chocolate. EWWWW!

To her credit, Veronica did email me to apologize and asked what she could do. She is getting an electronic mouse exterminator thingy installed in the rooms. I didn't get much sleep that last night (about 4 hours) and the cost of the food I lost to the rodent was about $15. I'm not gonna fret about it, but it put a sour end to what was otherwise a great place to stay while you're in Austin, TX."
300574,4062979,2013-04-07,3033295,Erin,"Five stars, I'd give Veronica and her property six if I could. The loft was comfortable, quiet, clean and spacious, as well as significantly more cost-efficient than some of the hotels in town, but equally as hip and interesting. The location of the cottage/loft is on a quiet residential street, but easily walking distance from the main drag of South Congress, and some of my new favorite places on First Street; parking is included, as well. Veronica is a very kind, welcoming and hospitable host. Missing this place and Austin already and can't wait to return one day soon."

Located in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to 1st street and South congress. It really felt like a home from home! Veronica is a great host, very kind an easygoing. Love to come back some other time. "
300574,4668785,2013-05-19,37082,Melissa,"Veronica was a great host to my travelers! She was easy to communicate and schedule arrangements with and I never worried about anything. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at her adorable loft. 
"
300574,4712840,2013-05-21,6110420,Jennifer,"My husband & I loooved this loft! It is so cute & cozy. And it is within walking distance of South Congress & Barton Springs pool if you are willing to do a little walking. But after all of the Texas BBQ, some walking is definitely not a bad idea! Veronica was wonderful. She was always available and was willing to accommodate some special requests that I had. I would definitely stay there again if I were going back to Austin."
300574,4772725,2013-05-25,1962411,Ralph,Veronica was a very friendly and helpful host. The cottage was quiet and clean. All in all we had a very pleasant stay. We would certainly  recommend it to others.

300574,5818189,2013-07-17,7169714,Angel,"Staying Veronica's loft was a treat. It's not only nestled in a quiet and picturesque Bouldin Creek neighborhood that is close to many popular destinations in Austin, the loft offered nice respite after a day of activity. It has a cute and unique retro charm with modern touches, and you can see that Veronica paid attention to the details which made the experience even more pleasant for us. There are some rougher/edgy finishes, but that only adds to the charm. Veronica was a wonderful host and made herself available if we needed anything. My husband and I didn't have a car, but we managed by walking to many key places within a mile (often less) from the loft.

In summary, the loft was clean, private, quiet, and a place I would stay at again (even if I am in town again by myself). "
300574,5995718,2013-07-25,7008304,Cybelle,Veronica was nice and very helpful. Her cottage is cute and it has everything you might need. It's also in a good location. It's a long but pleasant walk to the downtown area from her cottage. Great experience overall. 
300574,6079347,2013-07-29,7205975,Rodrigo,"The place is beautiful, the size is perfect, the furniture and the art in the house makes an awesome experience to be at the groovy loft.

Veronica was very nice and helpfull! She is a very interesting person who knows about a lot of stuffs.

We will definitly going back to Austin and going back to Veronica's place."
300574,6310863,2013-08-07,382736,Douglas,"Excellent location! Superb owner! I grew up in Austin, and Bouldin Creek is one of the best places in the city to stay - close to everything - hike & bike trail, Barton Springs, Lady Bird Lake, South Congress Ave, 6th St, etc. And Veronica is a true Austinite: friendly, warm, a wealth of local music knowledge she's happy to share, and a joy to chat with. The cottage is perfect for a couple or even if you have a child, and there's an awesome yard to chill in, sit, swing on the great tree swing and sip on a cold Shiner Bock. "
300574,6436394,2013-08-12,2100995,Christine,"The location of the loft is unbeatable. So close to parks, good food, running trails, and an easy to drive to other parts of Austin. The neighborhood and space are quiet, lovely, and a perfect getaway. I especially enjoyed all of the great seating and the comfortable bed. A great place to stay in Austin that gives you the neighborhood feel yet is close to everything!"
300574,6670616,2013-08-20,1451373,Corey,"Although Veronica was out of town and we were unable to meet her, she provided convenient and prompt correspondence via email. The loft was hip and cozy--and my parents tell me the bed upstairs was ""a dream!"" It was so nice to have a full kitchen with a stove and refrigerator available. The loft was clean, bright, enjoyable, and decorated well. The restaurant right down the street is close and delicious! Zilker park is right there.  I recommend staying here! :)"
300574,6941664,2013-08-31,5702661,Fred,"Veronica was a fantastic hostess and gave us a perfect first air bnb experience. She was very responsive and was friendly.  This loft was great for me and my girlfriend, providing just the right amount of privacy but also accessibility to Veronica should we need something. The loft itself was ""very cute"", in my girlfriend's words, and provided more than enough room for two people, although it can probably fit up to four. It was conveniently located a short walk away from south congress, as well as downtown Austin. Highly recommend Veronica and this spot!"
300574,7396384,2013-09-18,743490,Graham,"We had a great time at Veronica's cottage. The space is amazing, in the middle of a lovely, quiet neighborhood, and perfectly situated near South Congress, Zilker Park, Barton Springs and downtown. 

We can't wait to stay here again. "
300574,7660897,2013-09-28,6569053,Brenda,"Veronica's cottage/loft is a true Austin experience with the perfect combination of comfort, character and convenience!  Veronica met us as we arrived with a smile, a friendly greeting and offer to provide any help we needed.  She's a wonderful host with a fabulous property and I highly recommend her lovely place if you're visiting Austin for business or pleasure.  The location is absolutely wonderful -- in a beautiful neighborhood close to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, great restaurants and fabulous music.  The loft had everything we needed and I loved the creative, colorful decor.  Will definitely stay with Veronica again if I get the chance!  Thank you so much for a great experience!"
300574,7793074,2013-10-03,5491868,Chris,"This was a great, quiet space to relax and feel like you're away from things a bit and on vacation, while only being a few blocks from S. Congress or the 1st St bridge to Downtown. Veronica was a gracious host and made sure I had what I needed during my stay."
300574,7925505,2013-10-08,992879,Liz,"What a beautiful cottage! It was perfect for my friend and I, who were in Austin for ACL. I stayed in the bed upstairs, which was huge and very comfortable, and my friend stayed on one of the two beds downstairs. It was only a 20-minute walk from Zilker Park, and a few blocks from South 1st and South Congress (including Torchy's Tacos - a must-do!). The kitchen was well-stocked with a coffee-maker, tea bags, and oatmeal - with a real stove if we'd ever needed it - and the whole place was very comfortable and homely. Will definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin! It was really easy to get to and from the airport as well - just a short walk to the 100 bus stop, and if you want to get downtown there's a number 5 stop virtually outside the door."
300574,7971267,2013-10-10,9131452,Alex,Great little place!  Very cute and close to all the action!

300574,8732072,2013-11-14,9249351,Sherry,"This rental is in a great location and is very quiet and private. Lots of windows with great top down- bottom up shades. Outside temp quite chilly while I was there but the place is so well insulated, I never had to turn on the heat.  It is a very eclectic, laid back space full of interesting things. Veronica is welcoming and responsive. I am booked to stay at the property again. "
300574,8784581,2013-11-18,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"We had a great weekend staying in this cute cottage. 20 mins casual walk through the neighbourhood to South Congress with Home Slice Pizza (best pizza in Austin) and to the shopping/food. 10 mins walk to Torchy's Tacos (also recommended).

Check in and out was simple and hassle free. We bumped into Veronica on our way out and she was very helpful and a pleasure to chat with. Would definitely recommend this cottage for a quiet night in Austin. "
300574,8840610,2013-11-20,10013315,Tony,"This place was perfect for me.  I walked just about everywhere, I loved the location/neighborhood and Veronica's little cottage was very clean and comfortable.  The bed in the loft was extremely comfortable.  I definitely recommend this cool little place.  I hope to return soon."
300574,9392089,2013-12-26,9249351,Sherry,"Great location, lovely host. Wish I had been there in warm months to enjoy the inviting outdoor space. "
300574,9470427,2013-12-30,2416338,Tim,"Veronica's cottage was exactly as advertised. Easy to book and coordinate with ahead of time. Clean and spacious. Great location. Veronica was full of good tips on music, bbq, and Austin in general- both ahead of time and in person. Had a very useful selection of magazines with good articles on things around town to supplement conversations. "
300574,9555505,2014-01-02,1534986,Paul,"Veronica's place has got to be one of the coolest places to stay in Austin.  It's much better than a hotel and it's got great character and charm that makes your trip to Austin even more special.   In fact, its one of those places that makes you thrilled to come home to!   Plus its spotless and Veronica is an outstanding host.   

It's just south of the river so if you want to be near the hip side of town, you are at the right place.  About a 15 minute walk to S Congress, plus she even provides a parking space if you need to get there or anywhere else in town by car….thanks Veronica for a pleasant stay."
300574,9742618,2014-01-07,2844194,Emily,"I couldn't imagine a better place to stay than Veronica's cottage.  The space was cozy yet spacious, incredibly charming, and so conveniently close to all that Austin has to offer.  The neighborhood itself was something to see, so unique and diverse.  Veronica herself was incredibly helpful both in our conversions online and in person, and even personally delivered an Austin Chronicle to our doorstep to help us plan our trip.  We can't wait to return to this awesome city, and when we do, we will definitely stay here, or in one of her other properties.  "
300574,9906028,2014-01-18,2504921,Jessica,Veronica's cottage was exactly as described.  It was peaceful and private and a wonderful place to use as a home base while exploring Austin.  I'd highly recommend it!
300574,9935956,2014-01-20,97050,Jason,"Great place, Veronica was a great host. Highly recommended."
300574,10022200,2014-01-26,3558521,Lea,"I rented Veronica's cozy cottage for my daughter and her husband for the honeymoon getaway they never had. The transaction was seamless for all of us.  Laura and John absolutely loved the cottage, it's style and it's location in Austin.  I think they were actually sad to leave.  Thank you Veronica....we'll be back.  I have another daughter who lives in Austin and will be visiting soon. "
300574,10083188,2014-01-29,165356,Jodie,"I really enjoyed this cool little cottage. Austin is a great city and this place is in a perfect location.  Great neighborhood, off street parking, comfy bed - and fun décor!  Veronica is a great hostess - we had fun chatting.  I would recommend this to anyone who wants a fun place to stay in a safe and eclectic neighborhood. "
300574,10266103,2014-02-10,11180509,Leah,We absolutely loved the Retro Groovy and Hip Cottage/Loft. The location was close to great restaurants and coffee shops. It was walkable and easy to get to 6th Street and South Congress.  We will definitely try to stay here again if ever in Austin. Veronica was so sweet and accommodating. Two thumbs up!
300574,10319124,2014-02-12,3978544,Beth,The reservation was canceled 50 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
300574,10354872,2014-02-15,11968098,Forrest,"I've visited Austin many times before, but I'm now convinced I'd never really experienced the real Austin until my stay at Veronica's.  Veronica and her cottage are an authentic slice of what gives Austin its funky soul, and sets it apart from the rest of the state.

The cottage was a clean, cozy, and charmingly decorated little space with some high ceilings and lots of light that make it feel open and airy.  Overall, the photographs accurately depict the grounds, space, and decor.  

The neighborhood was very quiet, the only exception being the occasional train horn that was just loud enough to be charming.  Many things to do within walking distance, but be prepared for a moderate walk to get out of the neighborhood and over to S. Congress.

For the technically minded who may be curious I can report that there was good data coverage in the cottage with Sprint (4G LTE), Verizon and AT&T.

On future visits to Austin, I'll definitely be checking availability with Veronica first!"
300574,10422903,2014-02-18,11151381,Audrey,"We had a wonderful time staying in Veronica's Cottage! It was perfect for all of our needs. The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful--great trees, chirping birds, and Veronica's lush patio and garden. It was very convenient to walk to 1st, Lamar, and Congress to walk downtown or grab a bus. There were a few places we had planned to go to that were not super accessible by public transportation, so we ended up renting a car from Enterprise, which was 0.5 miles from Veronica's. Parking on the street would have been super easy, but Veronica had a spot for us--which was great! Such a wonderful host--almost like staying at an Aunt's you have never met. We felt very much at home and are looking forward to our next trip to Austin and Veronica's! "
300574,10563522,2014-02-25,9262832,Catherine,"Veronicas cottage was so cozy,comfortable and quiet. It is in a great neighborhood and is conveniently located to everything. We walked everywhere or rented bikes from the very convenient bike share program Austin has. We didn't even need a car to explore this great town. I will definitely be coming back and if Veronicas cottage is available I would definitely rent it again. "
300574,10740214,2014-03-05,1564212,Kristen & Ben,"Veronica and her place are lovely!  Thanks for providing a nice place to weather a few cold, rainy days.  "
300574,10917060,2014-03-13,855508,Richard,What a beautifully decorated cottage and such gracious hosts - this is a pad that will get you into the Austin vibe in 5 seconds and keep you there for as long as you're lucky to stay!
300574,10997684,2014-03-17,2148609,Matt,Great host & great location.  Veronica made my SXSW 2014 a very memorable one.  I would def rent again. 
300574,11149211,2014-03-23,11767454,Marike,"We had a great stay in this cute little house. For 2 people it is perfect. We enjoyed all the space we had, it is definitely much more relaxed to stay in this house than to stay in a hotel room (which were much more expensive in the time of our visit). It's a 25 min walk downtown, but there are many buses (costs are only 1 dollar) so it's convenient. We enjoyed being able to make tea and to have some breakfast (Veronica provided some delicious oatmeal). The shower is nice too. I would definitely recommend this place!"
300574,11281104,2014-03-28,170840,Dan,"It's a lovely place and Veronica is a lovely person. It's an old working class neighborhood which is changing fast. You can walk down to the Colorado River and hang out on the pedestrian bridge, which is really nice at night. Coffee shop up the street. The sound of trains at night. I was enchanted."
300574,11835751,2014-04-16,13065632,Paige,"This was my first time in Austin and I LOVED it! Veronica'a cottage was clean, perfect location, and Veronica was a great host! Everything that was listed in the description was at the cottage. It is in a great neighborhood within walking distance to just about everything! Thank you Veronica!

"
300574,11989477,2014-04-21,6656068,Rob,"Veronica's cottage was wonderful. It's located within walking distance to Zilker Park, restaurants on s 1st street, and downtown (okay some of these are about a mile or so walk, so that may be stretching it for some people). It's close to just about everything, yet on a nice, quiet street. Veronica is a great host, making sure we were comfortable and knew how things in the cottage worked. The cottage itself was beautifully and eclectically decorated, cozy, and comfortable. I stayed there with my wife and 4 month old daughter for 4 nights, and we loved it. When I come back to Austin, I'll definitely try to stay here again."
300574,12134785,2014-04-23,14103509,Jack,"Veronica's loft is nice and quiet and a clean, quirky place to stay in Austin. It was exactly as described (it's a loft next to the main residence on the property) and was perfect for my wife and I as a little home base in Austin for a few days. There is a parking spot available to guests right out front so that was nice. We were also able to easily walk to many places nearby."
300574,12527679,2014-05-05,11661373,Tom,"This place is indeed Retro Groovy and hip.  The location is fabulous, the amenities are great, and the place is incredibly comfortable and well-appointed.  Couldn't ask for a better place to chill and relax, and it's a great home-base for downtown and South Austin."
300574,12686915,2014-05-08,3170374,Paul,Warm reception by the host! Nice little apartment in a green area of Austin. Best of all: it is in walking distance of both South and Downtown Austin bars and restaurants.  We loved the fact that there is a private seating area in the garden. And I spotted a  hummingbird on the morning we left... doesn't leave much to be desired. We would certainly like to stay here again
300574,12817137,2014-05-12,12059937,Elspeth,As described a retro groovy cottage. Absolutely charming.
300574,13128305,2014-05-20,1547011,Noelle,"
This is an adorable cottage in a wonderful garden setting, convenient and yet in a quiet residential setting.  Everything was comfortable, attractive and fun! Veronica is a kind and caring hostess who was easily available for our every request. I highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wishes to have a fabulous Austin experience! "
300574,13284539,2014-05-24,2746506,Caroline,"Veronica was a truly wonderful host; warm, welcoming, engaging and informative. We arrived to wine and beer (perfect!) and an introduction to the area. The cottage was wonderful! It's set in a leafy, eclectic, artistic garden setting (with pond) that was a joy to experience. At night the frogs sang us to sleep and we woke up feeling like we were in a tree house (the bed is by two large windows on the second floor) listening to birdsong. I haven't slept so well in ages. It's a perfect size for two (but could fit more), with a lovingly furnished interior filled with vintage treats that's fun to explore in itself. The location is perfect for discovering Austin. A lovely walk (by a creek and tree lined homes) to some great restaurants on 1st and buzzing South Congress, or north to the riverwalk and  downtown. There's plenty of car2go and bus options  if you don't have a car - including to the airport (about a 20 min walk to the 100 airport bus). It's also a great place to work (great wifi and a tranquil spot) if you have to, hopefully you don't :) The perfect introduction to Austin."
300574,13674067,2014-06-02,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"This is the second time we stayed with Veronica. It's a great place to stay for a couple, with a 10 minute walk to the fun end of South Congress Ave. We love the simplicity and nice touches such as water bottles in the fridge and recycling bins. 

Had a nice chat to Veronica too, very welcoming and full of knowledge of the area. Had a great stay again!"
300574,13880223,2014-06-07,764841,Kristin,"Veronica and the house are both lovely! I felt immediately at home, as though in a super-hip version of my grandparents' house! Veronica's style and her hospitality are hard to beat."
300574,14173889,2014-06-13,57758,Ryanne And Jay,"We rented this house the day before and Veronica was extremely quick to reply and answer all our questions. When we arrived, we thought we were renting a house, but it's really a converted garage next to the owner's main home. Not a big deal, but it wasn't clear in the photos. 

The cottage itself is cool and funky which is a style we like. Had great AC and hot water shower. Bed was super comfortable. We prepared most of our meals in the full kitchen (saves us money). We easily parked right outside our door.

The best part of the cottage is the neighborhood in South Austin. We loved walking around looking at all the renovated houses along the tree covered streets. Zilker Park is a short walk. We had a great afternoon at Barton Springs ($3 pass). Downtown is about 1.5 mile walk over the bridge (its close people). There's also a public bike stand close buy to rent bikes with a credit card. 

Veronica is really the best part of the package. She knows the city and is cool/friendly. She gave us plenty of privacy/space, but we were knew she was close by if we needed anything. We'd stay again for sure. "
300574,14270302,2014-06-16,13572220,Jerry,"This was the first time we had used Airbnb.  We met Veronica the morning after our first nights stay.  Charming, friendly lady.  The cottage was clean and inviting.  My wife and I were in and out  so we did not spend much time at the cottage.  The neighborhood is quiet and lush with trees and greenery.  Very close to South Congress and Lamar, both streets with a lot happening.  I would consider staying here on our net visit to Austin if it is available."
300574,15015126,2014-06-30,12683732,Edwin,"We had a great stay at Veronica's cottage.  We were out most of the time so didn't meet in person but she was very responsive to our questions and preparations.  The place was clean, interesting, and comfortable. The location was great to access the areas we were going in South Austin and downtown.  Happily would recommend to others and will return when we can. Thanks!"
300574,15344803,2014-07-07,2108869,Emilia,"My friend and I were visiting Austin over 4th of July weekend and wanted to experience the local flavor so we decided to rent a local's place. Veronica's cottage was super cute, and had everything we needed. Easily accommodated both of us. Quiet, safe neighborhood - as two females we felt very comfortable walking around.The location of her place was perfect for everything we wanted to do. It was a short walk to the South Congress area, and close to lots of great food and sights (it was a little TOO close to Gourdough's Doughnuts in fact!) :)

Would definitely rent again when visiting Austin!  

 "
300574,15502031,2014-07-10,11294132,Anna,"The place was very cool and comfortable! Great neighborhood with easy access to the food trucks on South First and the restaurants on South Congress. 
"
300574,16146813,2014-07-22,17791241,Thera,The listing is very accurate.   The house is centrally located so we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. It was a very nice place to stay. 
300574,18324631,2014-08-25,11042127,Samuel,"Great location for visiting central Austin, especially Zilker/Barton/S. 1st.  Veronica is a helpful, gracious host.  "
300574,18944619,2014-09-03,1610187,David,"Veronica stepped in when a previous reservation fell through do to legal issues. She was very attentive, and quick with her communications. 
While she was out of the country during our visit that attention was carried over by her friend and house sitter Jo. 

Location, Location, Location; the listing and photos are accurate and the location in a rapidly gentrifying treelined neighborhood is wonderful. BUT beware, the kitchen is more fun than functional. If you are using the site as more of a hotel room and eating out at the numerous close by restaurants it will be a wonderful visit. 

Do note the stairs are steep and the treads are small surfaces (only while desending) so it might not be the best for the physically challenged- or heavy drinker!

A very fun encapsulation of the funky trendy town Austin promotes..."
300574,19291561,2014-09-09,15651606,Andy,"Veronica is such a wonderful host! She had everything perfectly organized when we arrived and was a perfect communicator throughout. The place is funky, cool and in an amazing location in Austin. If you're looking to feel like you're a local, stay at this cool place. Also, the water feature/living pond is so amazing. Wifi worked well. There is a little TV, but we didn't turn it on. If you came to Austin to watch TV it's kind of missing the point isn't it? Anyway, Thank you Veronica!!!"
300574,19585623,2014-09-15,4073377,Simon,"This is my second stay at Veronica's place, although this time in the cottage/loft. Loved it. Can't recommend highly enough. Great location in Austin too. One of the favourite places I have stayed on AirBnB "
300574,20091811,2014-09-23,19302767,Eric,"Veronica's place was great. The neighborhood was very nice. We enjoyed walking to 6th Street, Rainey Street, Zilker Park, and South Congress from her place. There is no need for a vehicle if you enjoy walking. The house was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay here again. It was very relaxing."
300574,20431931,2014-09-29,8805641,Kelly,"Great place and located in a very convenient area of Austin. Loved being in a residential area, but close enough to walk to downtown, S. Congress and S. 1st areas. The loft was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a busy weekend and this was a perfect place to come back for some relaxation. We enjoyed our stay very much!"
300574,20891938,2014-10-07,7450705,John,The cottage/loft was perfect for ACL as it is easy walking distance to Zilker Park.  It's also right in the mix with South Congress.  I would definitely stay here again when I return to Austin.  Vernoica was a great hostess and always helpful in offering places to check out and ways to avoid traffic.
300574,21600312,2014-10-20,21446297,Shiven,Me and my friends had great time staying in Veronica's cozy and modern loft. Loft was very clean and has great hip feel to it. It is very conveniently located from all points of interests. Veronica was very prompt in responding to my email and gave us useful tips as well. I also got to Veronica her for little bit when we were leaving. I would definitely stay there again when I am in Austin again.
300574,22018475,2014-10-28,3417709,Patrick,"Stayed at this cute little cottage for 5 days in October and it was awesome. Very centrally located (walkable to South Congress, Downtown, etc). The place was clean, funky, and felt very ""Austin"". The kitchen and bathroom had everything you'd expect from a good rental house. Although the ceiling height was lower in certain areas, I never had any trouble with it (I'm 6'3""). Staying here made me feel like I was living like a local - a great place to stay for a first trip to Austin!"
300574,22129484,2014-10-30,23007266,Steven,Veronica was a great host and I have to say the loft was such a cool way to experience my first visit to Austin.  
300574,22206320,2014-11-01,22204829,Emily,"This place was very cute and Veronica was very nice, but you should probably have a car if you stay here. Especially if you aren't used to the heat. We spent a lot of time walking. It was at least a mile or two from everything we wanted to see. I would not consider it walking distance to downtown unless you really like to walk. It was a really cute and safe neighborhood with lots of young families. I think this place would be better for a couple than anyone needing more than one bed. The place was beautiful but not very comfortable for me. I would not recommend that an older person stay here due to the narrow steep stairs. It was close to the bus stop, which I would recommend taking. I was also confused by the outside picture. That is of the main house. I am a bit of a homebody who likes to be cozy on the couch and it wasn't really cozy. But it was beautiful and Veronica was nice."
300574,22292134,2014-11-03,11558205,Alexis,Veronica's place was very well located! The house is quiet  and decorated in the true austin style. Perfect for a week end for 2 people!
300574,22471754,2014-11-07,9142444,Elaine,"I'll be back - a perfect, private get away - I was travelling for business and was able to walk downtown easily (about 15 mins). I never actually met Veronica as everything was super easy (keyless number entry) - I'd highly recommend this cute, clean and funky space."
300574,22642413,2014-11-11,4178183,Cory,"This hide-away spot in Austin's coolest neighborhood couldn't have been any more ideal.  It has really good energy from the moment you walk in the front door.  It's cozy and perfectly sized for one or two guests, but could also still easily accommodate a group of 8 or so friends hanging out (I imagine it even sleeps 3-5 with no problems thanks to fold out couches).  Veronica, the host, has lived in the next door building for decades and is incredibly nice, genuine, and all around lovely.  Any time I need a place to stay in the Bouldin Creek hood, I will most definitely be looking her up again!"
300574,23209408,2014-11-25,22369708,Damaris,"What a lovely home base for touring Austin! The cottage is charming and very well appointed with many thoughtful touches to make your stay enjoyable. The garden is lovely with a splashing fountain and comfy chairs for relaxing. There is plenty of parking too. It's a great location in a quiet neighborhood. Veronica was very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend this eclectic, fun, cozy retreat for a true Austin experience."
300574,23598151,2014-12-06,1450131,Debbie,"This is is cozy place and retro, groovy and hip describe it quite accurately. Veronica was both accommodating and generous. The location is close to town and Austin is a prime place for both bike rentals as well as Uber taxis which cost us from $5 to $7 to get wherever we were going. Wifi is present but a little sketchy; you need to position yourself in a specific place to get access. It's fine for checking email but not if you plan on doing work. 
The large oak tree in the back is visible from the loft bed and absolutely beautiful - a great view through the window at night."
300574,24121374,2014-12-20,24697808,Joel,Great time awesome Neighborhood.
300574,24410816,2014-12-28,20496243,Wynona,"We had the best time at this place! Veronica was so helpful and welcoming. The cottage is homely and was perfect for our little christmas stay and there was more than enough room for the three of us. Definitely walkable distance from south congress, and in a very lovely area. hopefully we can come back one day!!! :)"
300574,24598887,2014-12-31,23976663,Abigail,This place was lovely. The cottage was adorably decorated amid a charming setting. This was also the perfect location for the South Congress area (lots of fun shops & restaurants). Veronica was very friendly and helpful. 
300574,24884418,2015-01-03,13381113,Alex,"My girlfriend and I wanted a nice stay in Austin for a few days close to downtown. I can't recommend this place enough. It seems small from the outside, but the two story loft was perfect for us, and it's so close to everything. 

Veronica's feedback was almost instantaneous, and she even gave some tips for exploring the town.

Wonderful stay, great location, great host. Can't recommend highly enough."
300574,25266119,2015-01-11,17085389,David,This was a cool little bungalow and it met our expectations. Veronica was very helpful and went beyond her obligation to help us out with a few minor details.
300574,25544886,2015-01-19,10941479,Laura,Veronica was very welcoming and the door code was quite convenient.  Driveway was shared so we would have appreciated knowing that in advance so we could park appropriately.  Front yard was not as commodious as pictured
300574,25730731,2015-01-24,153192,Carey & Joe,"Veronica is a fabulous host. Responsive, friendly, and fun. The cottage is a perfect Austin experience. Cozy, funky, and a great location."
300574,25803400,2015-01-26,8701969,Stewart,Veronica was awesome.  We had arranged prior to drop off our luggage. She was just finishing cleaning the cute abode and gave us plenty of tips for the day. It is an awesome location and a super cool neighborhood. It is also very quiet. Very kitschy and clean. I highly recommend! 
300574,26673712,2015-02-17,643821,Erin & Tony,"Veronica's cottage is the perfect Austin retreat. It was perfectly situated in walking distance from South Congress, Zilker Park and even downtown if you don't mind a 30 minute stroll across Lady Bird Lake. City rental bikes are also just a few blocks away. Veronica was so sweet, providing us with amazing local recommendations -- she was there if we needed her, and gave us privacy as well. The cottage is homey, outfitted with a comfortable bed, great sheets and basic kitchen supplies. We loved our stay and will totally stay again the next time we are in town. We've stayed at many Airbnbs before - and many of them feeling transactional. Veronica's truly felt like a B&B. Recommend highly!"
300574,26972085,2015-02-23,21976338,Carrie,"Veronica was amazing.  Our trip was delayed due to snow in Philadelphia and when we arrived she had turned on the heaters in the cabin for us and met us outside to welcome us.  (So nice after a very, very long trip!)   If we were having coffee out front, she'd come to chat, but was never overbearing.  (We loved hearing her stories about Austin establishments and personalities!)

The space was cute as a button.  Absolutely perfect in every way!   It's my dream cabin.   The location is great too.  We walked to First and South Congress most evenings for eats / dancing (15 minutes), and the Broken Spoke was only a $8 Uber away (do go!).  

I was in town for a QuiltCon at the Convention Center and it took me about 30 minutes each day to walk there.   Whole Foods is close for necessities (and it's massive), as is the awesome river walkway around the ""lake.""  (If you are a runner, it's exactly an 11 mile loop around the lake and back to Veronica's!)   The location could not have been better for us.  (We live in a city so we're used to walking everywhere.  If you prefer to drive, parking is pretty easy.)

Veronica was awesome and he space was lovely.  Highly recommended and we'd stay there again without question if we're back in Austin!"
300574,27400412,2015-03-03,13167396,Kim,"Great house, great neighborhood, great hostess! We were very comfortable in this cozy loft and felt conveniently located to everything-- within 5-10 minute drive of all the Austin spots we wanted to check out. If the weather had been nicer, we probably could have walked many places! Veronica was very responsive, attentive, and helpful-- she even checked in to be sure we knew where the umbrella and heater were since it was unusually cold and rainy the weekend we were in Austin. Highly recommended spot!"
300574,27683722,2015-03-09,11805722,Charles,"Great location, we didn't drive the whole weekend. Veronica was super quick to respond to any questions. "
300574,27860465,2015-03-13,14381898,Steve,The house was very cool and everything was very easy. Thank you. 
300574,28116746,2015-03-18,16203469,Eliza,"Veronica was an amazing host - so warm, helpful and fun to chat with.  The cottage is even better the pictures if you can imagine that - the ample sunlight, interior design and cozy layout were so Austiny and perfect.  When I checked in my first impulse was to just not leave and blow off SXSW!  I held all my work meetings there to share the charm with colleagues.  The location is excellent access to South Austin and downtown - Bouldin Creek is the place to be.  I highly recommend a stay here.    "
300574,28465606,2015-03-24,26111029,Ben,"It was great! Veronica was very sweet, and accommodating. The neighborhood is fantastic, and the cottage was perfect for us!"
300574,28718684,2015-03-29,23775034,Jp,"Wow! What a great stay! I loved the funky retro furnishings. During the daytime, the house is full of sun; in the evening, there's a small patio area in front to enjoy a glass of wine and the night sky as you listen to the fountain splash. 
The location is terrific: about a half mile from Lady Bird Lake, and 1.5 miles from Whole Foods!
The hostess was laid-back and super-friendly. I appreciated the extra touches, like granola bars and yogurt in the kitchen. I hope to have a chance to visit again."
300574,28872760,2015-03-31,24463910,Susana,"Veronica was very welcoming, the neighborhood is great- walkable to everything we wanted to do during a wedding weekend visit. "
300574,29945298,2015-04-14,30444773,Paul,"Our group really enjoyed our stay in Austin. Veronica's place was just as advertised. The space was very clean, comfortable, and convenient. The location was absolutely perfect and within easy walking distance of everything we needed. I would highly recommend. "
300574,30173104,2015-04-18,31145462,Jake,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and I have to say, I honestly couldn't have asked for a better one. Veronica's cottage is amazing. My girlfriend and I were coming into Austin for a few days and requested the place on the same day as our arrival. Veronica was quick to respond, accept, and gave us detailed instructions on how the place works. It's absolutely charming and it's in a fantastic location too. Blocks away from S. Congress and Zilker Park. Getting anywhere you want to go is quick and easy from this place, and having a cozy loft to return home to gave us the ability to experience Austin like a couple of locals. Veronica is a great host and knows Austin so well. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again."
300574,30334728,2015-04-20,28315310,Amanda,"This house is the perfect little getaway!  It's comfortable, clean, and in a great neighborhood. We felt at home and had everything we needed (even coffee!). Everything was well maintained and functional.  We felt very safe and were close enough to SoCo, which was right where we wanted to be! Veronica was fantastic - not intrusive, very kind, helpful, and fun!  I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended the house to friends.     "
300574,30887497,2015-04-28,4138256,Melissa,"Veronica's gorgeous cottage was the perfect spot for an Austin break. Set in a quiet, beautiful nature spot, it's close (10 min walk max) to the brilliant South Congress Ave full of quirky shops & eateries, a nice stroll say from Downtown & loads of excellent food trucks just 5 mins away. Veronica was there to give us a nice welcome & helpful recommendations. The main bed was comfy & our two friends who joined us for the break said the sofa-bed downstairs was really comfy too. There's air-con, toiletries & even coffee provided. I thoroughly recommend this place."
300574,31448004,2015-05-05,29868605,Joseph,"Veronica was a wonderful host! She made me and my girlfriend feel right at home. The location of the home was amazing. It was within walking distance of everything, from parks and pools, to downtown entertainment. The house was quaint and cozy, perfect for a couples getaway. We didn't want to leave! Thanks for everything Veronica. "
300574,31882787,2015-05-11,27804160,Shredd,"Veronica's cottage is perfect for 3 or 4 people. The bedroom upstairs is very comfortable, as are the couches in the living room. Also, the grounds are beautiful! The garden/yard of both this cottage and Veronica's home are amazing and zen-like. This is  wonderful home base for people seeking to experience Austin from all angles - we enjoyed saying for Levitation (aka Austin Psych Fest) and Veronica was truly an amazing host with lots of information and insights not only into the local area, the festival etc; she also told us a lot about the music itself and clued us into the programming on the local radio station  (Austin's KUTX 98.9 - check it out!) which helped us learn even more about the bands we're going to see.

Thanks for the great time, Veronica! Hope to return again next year. :) "
300574,32103474,2015-05-14,6771972,Kristin,"Veronica was super welcoming!  Beginning with a lovely conversation when I arrived to dropping me off (in the rain) at a great restaurant the morning of my departure, she was both friendly and accommodating. 
I love the neighborhood, which reminds me of my own in Asheville, with its eclectic and interesting assortment of houses, both old and new. 
The little carriage house itself is a Bohemian hideaway -- homey, colorful, cosy and interesting, with just about everything you could possibly need. 
For me, it was a wonderful alternative to the conference hotel my colleagues were staying in."
300574,32475881,2015-05-18,6229011,Shannon, We really enjoyed our stay in this adorable neighborhood!  The place was comfy and well-stocked and Veronica made sure to check in to see if we needed anything.  She is a great host and knowledgeable about Austin. We appreciated the recommendations of restaurants and things to do! 
300574,32783369,2015-05-21,531744,Christine,"Staying at Veronica's was one of the reasons why our Austin trip was so memorable and fantastic. The place was filled with so much character and was in a very quiet yet convenient location. We didn't have a car and took Uber rides everywhere which were easy to get.  The house has everything you need (toiletries, hair dryer, towels, AC!!! etc.) and there were two Lone Star beers waiting for us when we got there -- very clutch on a hot Spring day in Austin.

Veronica was such a delightful and accommodating host and knows the ins and outs of Austin having lived here for 30+ years. I'd definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a charming place to stay."
300574,32903857,2015-05-23,9349662,Cynthia,"Good location and very comfortable stay. Thanks, Veronica! There were a few beers in the fridge when we got there, and cereal bars too. "
300574,33227016,2015-05-26,27430233,Mary,"We had a great stay in Veronica's cottage. It was exactly as described - a real taste of Austin. It was just the right size for the 3 of us that stayed there. The location is great! It's walking distance to SoCo, the Congress Ave bridge, and downtown. We would definitely stay here again! "
300574,33820233,2015-06-01,5335676,Tom And Laura,"Veronica and the house (and Zeus with his little moustache) are everything we love about airbnb. Full of character, the host and loft totally enhanced our stay in Austin and really contributed to a great experience. We were sad we had to leave to stay in a boring hotel!
The facilities were good - great shower, towels, rain ponchos and Veronica found us an umbrella which was appreciated with the storms. A beer in the fridge too, which was appreciated after a long travel in the humidity.
Loads of suggestions of places to go that Veronica though we might be into and fun chats in the day. We also loved the birds, cacophony of frogs and the plants. A little home from home. The location was a bit out of town but we liked the retreat and the area. Communication was great and Veronica was flexible with arrangements. We also enjoyed the poster collection! We'd definitely go back."
300574,34269925,2015-06-07,25715187,Michael,"This place is fantastic and Veronica is an extremely gracious host. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. The location is prime and the space itself was, indeed, groovy and hip. I highly recommend staying here if you are traveling in Austin. "
300574,35130832,2015-06-15,1539714,Fred,We stayed at Veronica's place for a weekend in June. She made it easy as possible and we had privacy as needed.  Her neighborhood is in a beautiful part of Austin and we walked everywhere. Walked to the natural spring pool at nearby park and all the shops along South Congress.  All done in the hot 90 degree weather. We are not used to the heat being from SF. All in all a perfect weekend get away. 
300574,36202579,2015-06-26,1272528,Khay,"I come to Austin every 4-6 weeks for work, and I'm certain that I will just stay here going forward if it's open.  This really felt like a home away from home.  You are literally so close to everything, but with the added benefit of feeling like you're in a secluded, quiet and beautiful cottage that's just yours when you pull up the driveway.  "
300574,37506681,2015-07-07,904066,Michael,"This was a charming place to stay in a well-located, delightful neighborhood. It's leafy, it's quiet, and it's the farthest thing from a cookie-cutter, soulless subdivision you could imagine.  It's hard to describe the decor itself other than to say it's quintessentially Austin, which is a very good thing indeed.  
Veronica was very communicative and made the stay seamless. 
I found everything in the listing - photos and description - to be entirely accurate. If you look at over and say ""that looks like the kind of place I'd like to stay in,"" you should book it without hesitation. I know I will again."
300574,38224018,2015-07-13,37842798,Amy,Loved this place! Everything in this cottage is charming and eccentric. I instantly felt at home. It's conveniently located to everything! It was also very quiet. I will definitely stay here again. 
300574,38987069,2015-07-20,23794482,Melissa,"Super groovy space. Loved the gardens. Downtown Austin, bcycle rentals, restaurants within walking distance. Didn't get to meet Veronica, but she responded quickly by text to any needs we had.   "
300574,40377013,2015-07-30,6779607,Randolph,Veronica's place was fantastic.  The loft is separate from the main house with privacy and charm.  The location is great (walking distance to lots of South Austin and Barton Springs).  Veronica was responsive and helpful.  Great stay all around.  Would definitely return.
300574,41133121,2015-08-04,38764267,Heidi,We felt very welcomed! The listing description was accurate and the neighborhood was just what we were looking for! We had a great time and loved the relaxing atmosphere! 
300574,41994184,2015-08-10,28029189,Matthew,"We had an excellent time staying at Veronica's cottage in Bouldin Creek. The space provided everything we needed for our weekend and was exactly as advertised in the listing. Additionally, the location could not be beaten. Veronica was very responsive and eager to provide recommendations for while we were visiting, including a dip in Barton Springs to escape the heat (for which extra towels were also included). I recommend anyone look into her properties when planning a trip to Austin. "
300574,42474402,2015-08-13,16101180,Tesia,"The place was exactly as pictured. The A/C was wonderful in the Texas heat. Also, Veronica responded promptly to any questions I had. "
300574,43102408,2015-08-17,11279668,Chilee,"The cottage was just perfectly amazing!  No trouble checking in at all.  Close to everything and the neighborhood is just fabulous.
Veronica eas prompt with any questions, and we were brought extra towels on our second day without even asking :)     I will definitely stay here again."
300574,43974514,2015-08-23,37061056,Michael,"GROOVY is right! This little private loft/cottage was TOTALLY groovy!  My wife and I spent a week there and completely loved it. Really cozy, comfortable and close to everything we wanted (Barton Springs, Zilker Park, South 1st St, South Congress, S. Lamar, downtown) but it felt really quiet and private.  Veronica was wonderful, a true Austinite. We hated to leave."
300574,45926931,2015-09-07,31656635,Meredith,"Perfect location, clean trendy place, hostess is quick to respond to any emails. Couldn't come more highly recommended!"
300574,46914347,2015-09-14,40537707,Joyce,"This cozy cottage is in a perfect spot on a quiet street! Located near Barton Springs Pool, Zilker Park, Soco, and loads of great food trucks and restaurants, this home was a great place for us to stay as we visited Austin. It was clean and well maintained, and we loved the eclectic furniture. Veronica made us feel welcome by leaving suggestions on where to go as well as extra beach towels in the bathroom. Keyless entry made it easy for us to arrive when we needed to. The only thing to note are slightly steep stairs to get to the bedroom and bathroom. However, we had no problems with that and would gladly stay here again!!!!"
300574,47633511,2015-09-21,33899287,Nina,"We loved Veronica's cottage! It was in a fabulous location, everything within a few minutes! The cottage had everything we needed, bed was very comfy and the decor was super fun and funky...even a few lone star beers in the fridge for us :) just what you would expect in Austin. Veronica was so sweet and helpful with local recommendations, and always got back to me right away when I had questions. Love the cottage and our host!"
300574,48115362,2015-09-23,43366912,Meghann,This was our first Airbnb stay and Veronica was a wonderful and friendly host. The cottage is adorable and had everything we needed. Having your own space with so much style is a treat compared to the usual boring hotel rooms! Awesome location within walking distance to restaurants and shops.
300574,48681607,2015-09-28,34768113,Jessica,"This was our first Air BnB experience and it was wonderful! Veronica made us feel welcome and the place was everything we had expected. The location was perfect for all of the things that we wanted to visit when we were in Austin. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean and cute. We would definitely recommend Veronica and her property."
300574,49809979,2015-10-06,3470122,Chris,"We stayed at Veronica's place while we stayed in Austin for the Austin City Limits music festival. The proximity could not be beaten. People were parking their cars farther than we were walking every day.

Gorgeously decorated, super clean, quiet, airy, perfect temperature. Was the perfect place to come to every night and wake up in every morning. And the bed was very comfortable for two. The living room seating was perfect for lounging and talking.

It was nice to meet Veronica in the morning. She's very considerate, understanding, and knows how to make you feel at home. Truly cares about her guests - no attitude, no nonsense.

Next time in Austin, I certainly know where I want to stay!
"
300574,50003356,2015-10-08,43624321,Aprille,"This was my first stay through Airbnb and it was absolutely wonderful! Veronica is a top notch host, and my boyfriend and I immediately felt comfortable and at home thanks to her. The loft is located in a great area so a lot of places we visited were within walking distance. The few times our destination was too far to walk we used the bike rental or bus station that is located down the hill from the house. 

Veronica also had some great recommendations of places to shop, eat, etc. Come to find out she has lived in the house next to the loft for 40 years, so she is definitely a true Austin native who knows her stuff.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking stay somewhere with that unique, Austin vibe and who wants a host who sincerely cares that her guests have a great stay in a great city. Thanks for everything Veronica!"
300574,50211309,2015-10-10,44772571,Kathy,"Listing accurate, quiet neighbourhood near amenities and city etc. Veronica very welcoming "
300574,51043721,2015-10-17,3744859,Scott,"Amazing!  I had an incredible stay, and wish it could have been longer.  Veronica is a warm and thoughtful host."
300574,51307050,2015-10-19,43729118,Magen,"This cottage was even better than described!  Perfect place to stay, so much better than a boring hotel room.  Very eclectic, great recommendations on where to go, very private and quiet.  Neighborhood within walking distance to almost everything!  The only place we needed to drive was to Rainey St, so we took a quick and cheap Lyft ride.  Would love to stay here again, and I have already recommended to my friends and family!  "
300574,52243862,2015-10-27,23545882,Rebecca,"This loft is simply amazing! A true Austin experience. Veronica was such a delight to work with & very accommodating.  My boyfriend and I were in town for his birthday & did a lot of exploring. There is so much to see nearby (within walking distance) and if needed, uberX is a nice and affordable way to get to around! I would certainly stay here again!  Thank you Veronica!"
300574,52625722,2015-10-31,7115,Dani,"The cottage was really cute, well decorated and comfortable. Didn't get too much time to explore the neighborhood, but it's close to downtown and only a few blocks from a B-Cycle station. The garden is really cool. "
4704597,34483750,2015-06-08,30865968,Jaime,Amazing lakehouse. Neighbors were helpful with questions and Helen was very responsive when I called or texted her. Patio was beautiful. Jacuzzi is amazing. Plenty of room for the ten guests. Kitchen was perfect and well stocked with the utensils I needed to cook. Beds were comfortable. Randalls and gas station were close enough to get things we needed. Very scenic route getting there and amazing neighborhood. I will definitely take another vacation there.
4704597,38169841,2015-07-13,35145856,Justin,"This house was absolutely perfect! We all loved it and it's so close to the lake, we loved the view coming in and the neighborhood was great. I even went for a run in the morning, everyone had a blast and plenty of space to sleep. The house was fully equipped with what we needed and I think it topped out last vacation. I'm glad we could get such a nice place at an affordable price. Thank you to our host for making sure that we were set and ready to go. My favorite part was the kitchen! I hope many more can get this great experience!!   "
4704597,39949606,2015-07-27,34863703,Kayal,"My friends and I hosted a birthday celebration at this lakehouse and had an absolutely wonderful time. The house is situated in a very picturesque neighborhood and is a brief walk from the water. We had the best time jet skiing, paddle boarding and floating in a private lake area and taking in the beautiful, lush green scenery. The house accommodated our large group well; we especially enjoyed the big deck space in the backyard.

The owner, Helen, was fantastic to work with and incredibly responsive to any questions. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for the perfect lake getaway. "
4704597,46219743,2015-09-08,42297908,Toni,Helen was prompt and helpful.  She made the process easy.  The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we needed for a great weekend.  The house served as a great central location for boating and hanging out.  The neighborhood was quiet and comfortable.  We had a great weekend!

8577980,50154989,2015-10-09,1631335,Peggy,"Drew and Petra were excellent hosts and went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable in their home.  Their house was actually much bigger than what it appears in the photographs. I felt like we had plenty of space to spread out. The house was very clean and has a chic, modern design. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone wanting to stay in a hip tucked-away neighborhood with easy walking to coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. "
1975344,10919563,2014-03-13,11212582,Heather,"This was a really lovely, clean and cozy home with a great back yard and everything we needed for a super comfortable visit in Austin. So spacious and lots of nicely decorated rooms to relax, work and dine in. It was a 10 minute drive from the Convention Centre, which made it the perfect SXSW rental. Jim and Celia were amazing hosts and left us a sweet little basket of coffee, snacks and a card to welcome us along with tips for parking downtown and keyless entry which made things extra convenient. A definite do again!"
1975344,11007047,2014-03-17,4161859,Simone,"James's place was AMAZING. The neighborhood was quaint and the house was beautiful. It has everything you need; literally a home away from home. James was very easy to get in contact with but since the house was fully stocked there wasn't much I needed to call him about (besides thanking him for allowing us to stay at the property). A party of 6 stayed at the property but the house allowed us plenty of space. We came out to Austin for SxSW. The house was about a 15-20 minute drive from everything which was convenient. I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever in the area. Thank you, James!"
1975344,11349420,2014-03-31,5185498,Martha,"My family and I stayed in Jim's house when we were in Austin for a family wedding. This home is gorgeous and comfortable with tons of space to spread out. We loved how each room was unique, with interesting art and furniture - we especially loved the rug in the living room (you have to see it to understand)! There were 5 of us, all adults, and we had a great stay. Our host was easy to communicate with and responsive, flexible, and friendly. When we arrived there was a welcome note and a basket of coffee and snacks waiting for us, which was a really nice touch.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, with tons of trees and great places from evening walks. We were able to visit the Wildflower Center and 400 Rabbits for a fantastic happy hour (at Alamo Drafthouse) which were both within a 5 minute drive from the neighborhood. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!"
1975344,11745612,2014-04-14,11488470,Tony,"We thoroughly enjoyed the very comfortable accommodations -  only way to improve would been if our hosts had supplied a private chef! Instead we had to drive 2 whole minutes to the freeway and had all of Austin to choose from for restaurants.

We would certainly stay again.

"
1975344,11968412,2014-04-20,8145084,Arvind,"We had a great stay at James' house while our home was being remodeled. 
The neighborhood is very peaceful and quiet, and the lovely backyard has plenty of space for kids to play. It was also very conveniently located near shopping and restaurants in Circle C and William Cannon.

1975344,15402093,2014-07-08,440432,Ayn,"Four of us rented this for four nights. We participated in a Duplicate Bridge tournament in the area. This was far better than any hotel experience we would have had and much more cost-effective. James was quick to communicate with us whenever we had a question. The home is in pristine condition, beautifully decorated (a simple, modern flair), and in a quiet neighborhood. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was fully equipped.  We could not have asked for more!
"
1975344,16273120,2014-07-24,17738644,Chiu,The home was lovely and as described.  James was very responsive and easy to work with.  We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place.
1975344,16623811,2014-07-30,16357661,Karen,"We had a wonderful experience with James (Jim and Celia). A few days prior to our arrival, he emailed a document with detailed instructions for the home and was very easy to work with, as he is very quick to respond and reach out when needed. The house has keyless entry, which made it easy for everyone in my group to come and go as we pleased. The house is beautiful and very clean. The backyard is nice (great for my little doggy), and the neighborhood is very nice as well. We never actually met the homeowners, as everything was coordinated by email, but their home is welcoming and exudes kindness and warmth! Thank you, Jim and Celia, for allowing our group to stay in your beautiful and comfortable home! "
1975344,18785743,2014-09-01,14856627,Imogen,"Myself and my family had such a fabulous time staying here. The house is exactly as the photos, if not better, we had a beautiful hamper on arrival, great location near the Berber of Austin, just beautiful. You will not be disappointed!"

It is exactly as pictured and described.  James and Celia left a welcome basket for us, which was wonderful as it included coffee and snacks.  They answered all of our questions and even checked in on us during our stay.  My dad, stepmom and I had a wonderful time at their home!"
1975344,21333374,2014-10-15,4689144,Rachel,"A few friends and I stayed for a week to attend the ACL music festival and to explore Austin. The house was perfect - clean, cozy, quiet and convenient. Jim and his wife are amazing hosts and left us the most amazing welcome basket with a card, coffee, tea, and snacks.  The house was stocked with all necessities - soap, shampoo, and conditioner for all the bathrooms and plenty of towels. My friends and I had the greatest time in Austin and thanks to Jim we have created a lifetime of memories!"
1975344,21655746,2014-10-21,18998396,Alice,"Our host touched base throughout the experience and promptly answered all questions.  As I said previously,  the neighborhood was quiet,  beautiful  and easy to find.  We would certainly stay there again!"
1975344,22095510,2014-10-30,15346562,Tammy,"This was a truly amazing home and neighborhood!  We came to Austin for our son's wedding and wanted to stay close to the church and reception and were able to do both by staying at Jim & Celia's.  We arrived to a beautiful and clean home where we felt ""right at home"".  A welcome basket with lots of goodies in it awaited our arrival and made us feel even more comfortable!  We definitely made the right decision and we would highly recommend it.  Thank you so much Jim & Celia! "
1975344,22353018,2014-11-04,14085893,Rebecca,We enjoyed our stay in Austin.  The house was situated in very quiet safe neighborhood convenient to restaurants and shopping.  We spent most of the weekend going to the Circuit of Americas for F1.  We didn't have a problem driving 20 miles to the track everyday.  The house had plenty of room for 4 people and could of easily accommodated more!  We will stay here again next year if possible!
1975344,22485670,2014-11-08,1282484,Greg & Debra,"James made our stay very comfortable with large clean beds and wonderful arrangements.  As an architect I have to say they have great taste in furnishing and decoration!  I am amazed at some of the furnishing finds they have for a rental home, many hard to find mid-century designs.

Us being a family of 5 with a toddler worked out very well in the home.  They even set up a packandplay for us which was a nice surprise.  They had all the cooking wares needed for us to have home cooked meals there as my father in law has a very strict diet.

The location was great as we were doing a lot of outdoor activities near the state parks there.  And it's easy to get to from the highway, but away from the crazy traffic of the city.

The use of TV, cable and internet was a great help since it rained out a few days and we were stuck at home!  Thanks for your place, it was a blessing for our vacation!"
1975344,24909013,2015-01-04,15265258,Jack,"The house was ready on time, clean and a welcome gift allowed us to make coffee before we went shopping. All the advertised amenities were in place and working fine.
I would recommend this house to my friends or relatives who wanted to stay in this area
"
1975344,30410296,2015-04-21,4766861,Little,"James was a gracious host and always available by text/phone. The accommodations where just like the pictures and very clean. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. It was a close ride to downtown/6th street as well as easy ride to Lake Travis and the Hill Country of Austin. (of note, I had my own vehicle) I would highly recommend to anyone."
1975344,30721157,2015-04-26,25277672,Michael,We booked the house about a week before our trip because it was close to our friends home in Circle C. James responded immediately and gave us very detailed instructions about everything we might need. The house is in a nice cul de sac and definitely exceeded our expectations. We were with 2 kids and this house offered plenty of space for us all. It was very clean and was the perfect place for us. It was 5-15 minutes from everything we wanted to do in Austin. we would definitely stay here again and recommed it to any of our friends and family. 
1975344,33243762,2015-05-26,29664992,Prasuna,"We booked this house to attend Graduation at UT Austin. Our stay here at James house far exceeded our expectations. House is very clean, convenient, kid friendly and have all amenities including even Keurig Coffee machine. James gave us clear instructions, followed up and made sure we settled well in the house. Location is great too, just a few minutes drive to UT Austin, downtown and also close to shopping and dining places. Very quiet and safe neighborhood. We were extremely happy with our stay there, recommend to anyone visiting Austin."
1975344,33778326,2015-06-01,4303874,Andrea,"The house was clean, spacious, and very comfortable.  The neighborhood was quiet and safe.  James was sure to check in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly, it was.  We arrived earlier than planned and James said that we could check in early.  We had 4 people the first day, and the the other 2 joined us for the final night and it was very comfortable for us.  I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Austin."
1975344,34516295,2015-06-09,26384701,Jody,"Our host, James Anderson, was very good to work with.  He was timely in his communications with us and checked in on us a couple of times to ensure all was well.  The description of the home on airbnb matched the home perfect!  We were in town for our daughter's wedding and the house was in a great location to access all the places we needed to visit.  I would highly recommend this home to families.  We loved it!"
1975344,40594775,2015-08-01,16546315,Gregg,"We stayed one full month at James house and found it to be very clean, well equipped, and comfortable. The furniture and beds are very nice, the fenced in backyard provides privacy and a nice place to grill out. The televisions and cable service was a great surprise since we had access to all of the premium channels. The kitchen is well equipped and easy to cook in. The location is very convenient with a lot of good restaurants, shopping and entertainment very close by. James was very accommodating host and easy to work with. We hope to be able to stay another month soon.
Gregg & Lisa"
1975344,41917088,2015-08-10,25361357,Alice,"La maison de James est tout à fait conforme à sa description et aux photos. C'est une très, très belle maison, spacieuse, très bien équipée, parfaitement entretenue, dans un quartier calme, très agréable,  et à  2 minutes d'un supermarché.
Nous avons communiqué avec James par mail et nous avons eu à chaque fois des réponses rapides.

1975344,44181293,2015-08-24,27621705,Julie,"My first Airbnb experience and James was a wonderful host with a beautiful and charming home.  The neighborhood is quiet and the location was perfect for what we needed!  Well decorated and immaculately clean, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay--much better than any hotel!  Lots of room and everywhere you looked was another cool decoration or piece of furniture. James was helpful and we couldn't be happier.  Next time we are in Austin, we will definitely be back!  Five Stars +++"
1975344,47676682,2015-09-21,39254685,Geraldine,Great house...clean and nicely decorated. Nice quiet neighborhood. This was my first experience with Airbnb so I wasn't sure how it all worked but it was a very positive experience. I only had a question or two for Jim and he responded quickly by text. 
1975344,48720422,2015-09-28,4898679,Howard,"This house was great and exceeded our expectations.  It was in a nice neighborhood, clean and comfortable.  The host was also attentive to details.  When I return to Austin, I will be looking to stay here again."

1975344,52204879,2015-10-27,14658287,Francesca,James' home was more than perfect! We were a party of 4 and this place was very spacious and very comfortable--just like home. Access to this place is keyless which made checking in super easy. We felt very safe with a security system. There is cable TV and speedy Wifi. James kept in touch periodically to make sure we were OK and if we needed anything. The house is in a great neighborhood and 30 minutes away from downtown and COTA. We would definitely stay here again if we were to come back. 
8000474,45760935,2015-09-05,42714447,Rebekah,"Amanda and her place are absolutely fantastic!! 
I needed a place the day I arrived in Austin and she responded promptly and with flexibility as to when I wanted to check in/out. She's mega friendly. 

The place itself is adorable, comfortable and clean. The surrounding areas are beautiful hills covered in trees and excellent driving roads and it is conveniently located across the street from an HEB and a liquor store. 

Stay here if you're coming to Austin/Bee Cave; you'll thank yourself and Amanda. 
This entire experience was grand. "
8000474,45880548,2015-09-06,31688497,Rikki,The apartment was very cute! Amanda was a great host. Loved the location and peanut (her puppy) was adorable.

8000474,48640677,2015-09-27,33926054,Wendy,Amanda was quick to respond and very easygoing as a host. Her place smells like a day spa and though it wasn't needed she left a small basket of toiletries in the bathroom! Her furnishings are first rate. Wifi was fast and having covered parking helped so much at night when parking was full. The apartment is on the first floor which I appreciated with two little ones. If I'm in the area again I will be undoubtedly contacting her again. 
8000474,49491784,2015-10-04,16154152,Margaret,"Great place in a great location in Bee Cave.  Easy check in and out.  Bars, restaurants and shopping within walking distance.  Good price for the location.  Very pleased."

4203481,21325189,2014-10-14,7171991,Kelly,"Nataliya has to offer a very clean, comfortable, and quiet accommodation. The location made it very easy to get to ACL or downtown(quick cab ride or nice walk). She was always available to answer questions, and very quick to respond. Both her and her fiance were more than friendly. We really enjoyed staying at her place. We will definitely stay at this place again.  
"
4203481,21674001,2014-10-21,21937704,Sheryl,This place felt like home - clean and well appointed. It's a great value at less than half the cost of what we would have paid for a regular hotel room downtown. Located so close to downtown Austin that we were able to stay out of game day traffic. Lots of food trucks within walking distance. Nice private deck to relax on. Wish we could have stayed longer than 2 days!
4203481,22117585,2014-10-30,22526766,Reece,"As a debutante to AirBnb I was blown away by how good the service from Nataliya was - extremely helpful ahead of time via email for a range of questions, the hospitality when we were there was top-notch (including free beers on arrival), the house itself was perfect - very close to town (walking distance) clean, tidy, and cosy - I would recommend this place to anyone considering staying with her. A fantastic experience all-round! :)"
4203481,22385021,2014-11-04,17547410,Danielle,"Nataliya was a great host, and her apartment was the perfect place for our weekend trip in Austin. We felt secluded during our stay, and the host was accommodating with our needs. The apartment is located just a few minutes form downtown which made getting around easy. Two beers were waiting in the fridge for us to enjoy upon our arrival which was a lovely treat. "
4203481,22624985,2014-11-10,753652,Torehan,"Nataliya was very communicative and receptive before we arrived and made sure that all 4 of us were accommodated comfortably. The apartment is in a great location, close to some great restaurants and walking distance to downtown."
4203481,25755686,2015-01-25,6630245,George,"Nataliya made us feel very welcome and was always quick to respond before and during our stay. We needed two extra beds and she even ordered blowup beds and had extra linen organised for us too! If that wasn't enough, she welcomed us with beers :) 

The place was very comfortable and we made use of the smart TV and netflix! Keyless entry was very helpful too. Overall i'm incredibly glad we chose to stay with Nataliya. Thanks! "
4203481,26775941,2015-02-19,24190333,Stephanie,"This house was exactly what we had expected.  Nataliya was very friendly and eager to make sure our first trip to Austin was perfect.  She answered all of my questions, regardless of how silly they may have been, right away and even gave me pointers on places to go.  The location of the house was a little bit outside of the main part of the city, but we walked to the various areas of Austin quite often.  It took about 20 minutes to get to Downtown Austin, a little bit more to get to South Congress, and about 12-15 minutes to get to Rainey Street.  For the times we didn't want to walk, we used Lyft, which we were lucky enough to get 10 free rides for signing up.  Otherwise, Nataliya gives you a code for a free ride.  Additionally, since the weather did drop for a few days we were there, Nataliya made sure we were warm and knew how to use the heaters in the apartment.  I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the Austin area, but it may be a bit tight with more than 3 people like we were."
4203481,27071658,2015-02-24,12868058,Amanda,Nataliya was very sweet and helpful. She welcomed us with beers in the fridge and recommendations on places to go. The place was lovely. Very cozy. The beds were comfy and everything was clean. The only problem we had was the shower was pretty hard to work and the shower head is messed up so it sprays water everywhere. The temperature is also almost impossible to get it where you want it. I would suggest not having more than 3 stay as I feel it would be too cramped. We had three and it was nice but I can't imagine having more. 
4203481,27887997,2015-03-14,240,Tyler & JoAnn,"Solid place, comfortable and super close to everywhere we needed to be."
4203481,28298254,2015-03-22,713227,Fabien,"Nataliya and her friend were very nice and helpful. This apartment was the best place ever to enjoy our time in Austin during SXSW ! 
Cosy, clean and big enough for 4 people (you definitely should try the Queen beds). It is easy to get around (downtown is 15 minutes by walk) and we enjoyed the area. 
Thanks for your kindness (and for the beers). We will come back :-) "
4203481,28852858,2015-03-30,10277480,Russell,"This place was clean, modern, and conveniently located. Walking distance to lots of stuff, 5 dollar uber anywhere else. Would definitely stay there again."
4203481,30801607,2015-04-27,28942144,Howard,"Nataliya did a great job communicating with us by text and e-mail. The apartment above her home was very nice. Everything was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was pretty close to downtown -- maybe 2 miles. There were a couple of times the dogs were noisy but the AC mostly drowned it out. We'd stay here again for sure.
Howard"
4203481,32536317,2015-05-19,31083967,Courtney,"Nataliya was absolutely wonderful! She made sure that all of our needs were taken care of, and the house was in perfect shape! Nice and clean :)

Awesome area to stay in! I highly recommend staying here--lots of places you can walk to and explore!"
4203481,35156930,2015-06-15,6507942,Liat,"Great hosts and a great place! Nataliya and her husband were accommodating and everything ran very smoothly. The hosts left us beers which was really nice :) We also forgot a few things behind and Nataliya was very prompt in answering and kindly agreed to send them to us via post.
Highly recommended! "
4203481,36602525,2015-06-29,36060827,Michael,"Nataliya was a fantastic host. She checked in regularly to see if we needed anything. The location was very quiet with lots of tress and a great deck to sun/relax on. This area is very close to the Lady Bird lake hike and bike trails, has easy access to downtown, and near many new trendy restaurants. I highly recommend this location. We loved it. "
4203481,37531285,2015-07-07,18070172,Aaron,"Great host! Nataliya was quick to respond to our request, was easy to communicate with and very responsive, and made everything very easy for us.  The place is in a great neighborhood and close to lots of cool bars and restaurants.  And she left us a six pack in the refrigerator!!"
4203481,44212844,2015-08-24,25370354,Matt,"Location was perfect for our family while we were visiting Austin.  Nataliya was a great host and very helpful with ideas of what to do and where to go for fun.  The weather in austin is an average of 100 degrees in august, but the house had a great air conditioning system in it so the heat wasn't a problem.  We had a car so it was easy to get around town.  "
4203481,46123442,2015-09-08,29827317,Brianna,"We had a wonderful experience at Nataliya's property! She was so helpful in giving us information before we even arrived, and when we got there- she had a whole binder filled with recommendations, a 6 pack of beer in the fridge, and a clean and lovely place waiting for us. The apartment was perfect for the four of us young professionals with two bedrooms, a nice bathroom, little kitchen, and living room area. Nataliya made an effort to check in with us to see how our stay was going, which was very nice of her. I would definitely recommend staying here!  "
4203481,47730319,2015-09-21,41656975,Kate,"My first AirBnB experience, and a definite success!  Nataliya communicated early and often about the stay, which made our late-night arrival very smooth.  Directions on how to find and access the house were spot-on - make sure you read them, because it would be very difficult to find otherwise, especially in the dark!  The apartment is exactly as pictured, even a little larger than I expected.  Nataliya has taken care of all the little details - including a Keurig machine!  We were in town for a wedding, so we didn't get to explore the area too much, but LOVED the breakfast places we tried in walking distance and wished we could have tried one of the cocktail bars.  Perfect location for a group who wants to be able to walk to bars and restaurants, but sleep in peace and quiet."
4203481,49638824,2015-10-05,39745197,George,"Amazing place to stay. Extremely friendly and flexible host, willing to do anything to better the experience of her guests. The house was very clean and loaded with the appropriate amenities and conveniences. The location is great, very close by to downtown, restaurants and even a nearby park.  I highly recommend Nataliya as your next host!"
4203481,51862832,2015-10-24,37624213,Germaine,"Nataliya was perfectly accommodating and quickly responded to my call for help in sold-out Austin due to a last minute decision to extend my stay for a conference. What a sweet, comfortable and perfectly clean place! There was a binder that answered all questions in regards to restaurant recommendations, wireless credentials, TV access and other home nuances. It was my first AirBnB experience and I would do this again. Thank you! "
4203481,51884939,2015-10-25,36052860,Kara,"We had a wonderful time in Austin and this place was just perfect for our girls weekend. The place looks exactly as described, beds were comfy too! It was close to many bars and restaurants. Nataliya was so helpful from the very beginning and gave us many great suggestions on where to go and what to do. You will not be disappointed. We will be back :)  "
4203481,52313894,2015-10-28,510038,Cristina,"This is an excellent Airbnb find! Nataliya was a great host — clean apartment, easy system for entering/leaving the apartment, awesome book of recommendations, and beer in the refrigerator! Need I say more? The apartment was very new and well-stocked. The location was very close to Cesar Chavez, which made it easy to get around. The area had some great local eats and bars. My friends and I would definitely stay here again."
4203481,52923019,2015-11-02,25776576,Evan,We had a wonderful stay on Halloween weekend.  The location was very conveniently placed within Austin.   We really enjoyed walking along the streets and the short distance to 6th street.  Nataliya was very accommodating and provided us with everything we needed.  The place was very comfortable.  We really liked the recommendation book that Nataliya had put together.  When we go back to visit Austin we would love to stay here again.

The neighborhood dogs are very annoying so if you are a late sleeper this may not be for you, but overall a good experience."
5336049,35120684,2015-06-15,11305802,Val,"The house was very nice and comfortable. It was within walking distance to the Big Stacy Pool and the South Congress Strip.

5734832,41910830,2015-08-09,10373634,Karina,"Tom was a great host! My husband and I were passing through Austin for just one night and had never been. Tom was kind enough to write us a list of ""must dos"" and his suggestions were ON POINT! We had a fantastic time in the few hours we spent there. Not to mention, his place was very clean, well decorated, and in a great part of town (very safe, and close to lots of entertainment). The balcony had spectacular city views. One of the greatest features of his place was that he programed our own individual passcode for his front door, so there was no need to deal with keys or complicated entrance issues. The accommadations included a room equipped with a comfortable queen-sized bed, Apple TV, and a full bathroom. We'd definitely stay there again if we could!"
5734832,43006338,2015-08-16,3929250,Gintautas,"A great stay! Thomas was a very careful and welcoming host, he made me feel at home and made double sure that I had everything I needed, from an ample supply of water to a list of places in the area worth checking out.

The location is excellent, very quiet but all downtown attractions are within a comfortable walk or a short Uber ride. The apartment and the building itself exceeded all my expectations, they are extremely nice and high-class - I don't remember the last time I had stayed in such a fancy place! It's extremely orderly, clean and finely furnished. The bedroom was very nice too, very tidy and prepared beyond hotel standards. Thanks Thomas!

The flawless accommodation was a significant part of my first trip to Austin leaving a very favorable impression!"

He kept in touch via text when we arrived in Austin, gave detailed instructions on getting to and into his condo, and recommended a fun street fair that was happening the afternoon we arrived. He even left beer in the fridge–a nice touch. The neighborhood is beautiful, and very close to the capital building and UT; the condo complex is lovely. Our bed had a nice welcome package, including a list of recommended restaurants and things to do. When we returned from our evening, Thomas and his girlfriend warmly welcomed us. I would stay stay at his condo again."
5734832,50156347,2015-10-09,36012927,Sofia,"El cuarto de Thomas estaba extremadamente limpio junto con el baño y todo el departamento. Nos dejo un detalle de bienvenida, ideas de que hacer mientras estábamos en Austin, restaurantes, etc. Siempre nos contesto a tiempo los mensajes y no tuvimos ningún problema  a la hora de llegar.

5734832,50839052,2015-10-15,949385,YK & Pat,"Thomas  was a great host. He tried his best to make us feel at home. The room was comfortable & a private bathroom was convenient. The whole place is a very nice, and the location is good for the Capitol and U of Texas. You can get a day pass(good for 24 hours) for the bus and metro for $2.50 each. There're the B-bike Austin bike sharing program stations within 5-6 blocks, and it is a great way to explore Austin. "
5734832,51175732,2015-10-18,513773,Brad,"My wife and I stayed at Thomas' condo for a long weekend in October. Thomas was very responsive in the days/weeks leading up to the visit and provided a detailed description of how to get to his place as well as a welcome packet when we arrived that contained all the necessary info for our stay (e.g., wifi passwords, TV instructions, local attractions, etc.). He was very accommodating and provided some recommendations while we were there of some local places to eat/drink. 

Overall, the condo worked out perfectly. The condo is centrally located and we had a rental car for which we were able to easily find parking (just be sure to note the various parking restrictions on Austin's streets). There is a private bathroom essentially en-suite and he has a programmable lock so no need to carry around an extra set of keys. We would definitely stay here again if/when we come back to Austin."
5734832,51457199,2015-10-20,43517391,Joe,"My stay here was great.  The apartment is really nice and clean and they had a list of things to do/places to eat in the area.  The neighborhood is nice and close to the university, the capitol, lots of places to eat, etc.  I was out for most of the day during my stay and only ran into Thomas and Urooj once, but they were both pretty nice and hospitable.  Definitely recommend."
5734832,51870252,2015-10-24,9542235,Jo,"Thomas made us very most welcome he even had a list printed out of resturants and places and things to do, a lovely jesture of bottled water and towels were left on our bed."
5734832,52028686,2015-10-25,3927925,Richard,"Great, friendly host. Place was nice and clean with pretty good AV set up too"
5734832,52784349,2015-11-01,28970029,Ben,"Thomas was a great host and the place was immaculate. Everything was very clean and welcoming.

The bottles of water were a great touch!"
4314779,48372783,2015-09-26,4438213,Catherine,"We had a really wonderful stay here and recommend it without reservation!  Michele is a perfect host, the neighborhood is without equal, and the home is well-appointed and charming.  

Our situation was a little complicated - we had two months in Austin in between a big move and a new baby.  Michele was extremely easy to work with and responsive as we contacted her regularly with questions from across the world.  She is an effervescent and friendly host and she made our stay extremely easy .  The house itself could not be in a more pleasant location--set back from the street enough that it feels quiet and cozy, but only two blocks from South Congress and easy walking distance to restaurants, music, anything you'd want, really.  The off-street parking was a huge benefit as well.  If you're coming to Austin, you can't do better!"
6374770,32859210,2015-05-22,33390158,Sarah,"Amira and Benji were so very welcoming to me!  They helped me out so much in my stay here and were really great to me, like old friends!  The neighborhood was quiet and safe."
6374770,33179855,2015-05-25,20484354,Natalie,Amira and Benji were great hosts. There were fresh flowers in every room and she had the wifi information printed and ready for our arrival. She had fresh towels and everything we needed. The house was clean and welcoming. Amira and Benji were very hospitable and provided us recommendations of places to visit but they also allowed us to have our own space. Great place to stay in Austin! 
8597677,49723800,2015-10-05,45285581,Stephanie,"The place was great - clean, cozy, and good vibe.  The location is very close to Congress, so easy bike ride to ACL Festival, and easy walk to a number of restaurants.  Meaghan left a good set of tips and info on the surrounding area, with recommendations.  Parking is off the street, and there was a safe place to leave our bikes. We really enjoyed the space!  "
8597677,50142338,2015-10-09,45675877,Dj,"Gracious hosts, super welcoming! It was perfect for coming in putting your bags down and heading out. You can't beat the location! "
8597677,50595133,2015-10-12,14811778,Will,"Meghan's place is very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay very much. It was a short trip, but thanks to Meghan kept some local beer in the fridge. We were able to try some local micro brews. She is also flexible on the checkin and check out time that matches our flight schedule. She prepared local guide we knew how to get around in Austin. Overall, great experience, I have been very busy, but I have to recommend Meghan and her place to other guests. I will definitely come back to her place when I visit Austin."
8597677,52724258,2015-11-01,20563732,Joseph,"Meaghan was a saint. Hands down the most accommodating host I've ever had. We had the misfortune of getting stuck in Austin with a flood, and she did everything within her power to make us feel safe, and make sure we had everything we needed, including towels to help clean up some rainwater that got in and holding the listing for another night after we got stuck with two canceled flights the day we were supposed to depart.

The apartment was small and quaint and was just what we needed considering we were in and out all weekend with wedding duties.   "

Marina & Lydia are so welcoming..... they made me feel great about my decision to stay with them..The house was super clean, Overall my experience exceeded my expectations on all levels.... Thank you both and hope to see you soon....

Best wishes

2310634,12676488,2014-05-07,3684224,Sean,"Charley and Sarah’s place is great! Perfect location for anything downtown – few minutes walk to Whole Foods, etc. Very lovely neighborhood, nearby restaurants / cafés, found some other interesting stuff just exploring. The apartment is just like the pictures – clean, lots of space, and neighbors are quiet.
Charley is very easy to communicate with.  Although we didn’t meet, check-in / check-out was seamless. Would definitely stay here again, thanks!

2310634,28297410,2015-03-22,8237783,Sarah,This place was in a great location and definitely worked for a few of us to crash at during SXSW though you may find it a little small for more than 2 people if you're planning to spend more time there. Nice bathroom and kitchen and Charles and Sarah are very helpful and easy to deal with. 
2310634,30026287,2015-04-16,233437,Eric,"Loved this spot.  Phenomenal location.

One block away from Whole Foods.  Awesome restaurants, bars, and cafes just a few blocks away, yet nestled in a quiet neighborhood.

Its a bit further from the trashy party side of 6th street and close to the nicer bars and restaurants.  Super convenient."
2310634,30630320,2015-04-25,30523367,Agata,"The apartment is in an excellent location, close to great pubs and restaurants. It matched the description and Charles was very welcoming. "
2310634,30961986,2015-04-29,1899052,Christina,We had a lovely stay here. It was an easy walk to downtown and the river. Would definitely stay here again!
2310634,31988171,2015-05-12,32044257,Sam,"Great location! So close to 6th St downtown, the river / bridges, and to lots of amenities, including whole foods. Separate dining space is nice, and the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom was great too. Not a place to hangout but rather the perfect jumping off point for exploring Austin since it's so central."
2310634,32418839,2015-05-17,32907797,Chris,"Charles was attentive and flexible during our stay.  It was great he was willing/able to work around our travel schedule and allow us convenient check-in/check-out options to maximize our stay in Austin.  As first time visitors, we weren't sure where to stay but the location was absolutely perfect.  Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, it was just a short walk to the up and coming West 6th area so it offered us the best of both worlds.  The property itself was very basic but decent, it's essentially a studio apartment.  Billed as two beds, note that one of them is a futon couch.  Also, there is no television (which wasn't a huge deal since we weren't there much but still would have been nice when we were there unwinding at the end of the day or getting ready to head out - seems like a pretty basic amenity to not have).  Lastly, during our visit there were some bad storms/heavy rains which exposed issues with the foundation of the home.  We woke up to significant pools of water all over the  main room, kitchen and bathroom.   "
2310634,33028257,2015-05-24,32226096,Michael,"Great location; easy to get to bars and restaurants on 6th. Place def feels like a crash pad; would have been tight with anymore the 3 people trying to spend a lot of time inside the apartment. Place was exactly as pictured in the listing. Host's directions and instructions were clear and helpful. All in all, location makes this spot worth staying in again. "
6690195,36353258,2015-06-27,34219811,Shelbi,"Tara was great! She had the place nice and tidy!!! We took a bus to the downtown area, it only took like 15 minutes. Took the 801 bus- only 1.75$. The apartment was perfect for our quick visit. We were able to do our laundry while there too! Facilities were cheap $1.25 wash 1.25$ dry. Overall, satisfied with it!! Tara was easy to get a hold of as well!"
6690195,36625168,2015-06-29,36156373,Steven,"Awesome experience. House was right on South Congress so it was either a short Uber or drive to everything. The apartment was very ""Austin"" and cozy. Tara also stayed in communication the entire stay. Would definitely recommend this spot. "
6690195,36825316,2015-07-01,8051835,Adam,"Tara was great, very flexible with arrival time and all that..."
6690195,37023167,2015-07-03,17453826,Erika,"I couldn't sleep because all the incense, patchouli oil, and smoke smell. It was overwhelming and assaulted my allergies. The hash pipes lying around were a nice touch too. I guess I assumed since it was written on Airbnb that there was no smoking inside, that would apply to the resident too. Not only did it reek like smoke, there was a tobacco scented candle too. In one closet (I was looking for a hand towel to dry hands on, there was none) there was even a cigarette butt on the floor. 

Aside from getting slapped in the face with the tobacco and incense smell. It was alright. Decent neighborhood. Good communication from host. Free Netflix."
6690195,37124809,2015-07-04,9328190,Sarah,It was a great apartment and very clean. I enjoyed her hospitality and ability to make the room ready for my stay in such short notice.
6690195,38049126,2015-07-12,34925718,Rebecca,The apartment was a great home base for adventures around Austin! The space was very private and I loved having access to a full kitchen. To get downtown it is only a 10-15 min drive. If you are looking for your own private spot in Austin this is a great choice.
6690195,38769554,2015-07-18,7178468,Brendon,I had a great stay at Tara's apartment.  The place was exactly as described.  Very comfortable and quiet.  Cool place.  Tara was very helpful with instructions and when I had questions.  I'll definitely be back.
6690195,39970390,2015-07-27,28172644,Rebecca,"The Good: Tara made the check in/check out process very convenient, and was responsive to messages during the stay. The neighborhood was great, and very convenient to highways and S. Congress. The rate was very affordable. 

The Bad: I specifically look for ""no smoking"" accommodations because I can't stand the smell. While the house rules specify no smoking in the apt, the smell of cigarette smoke is immediately noticeable as soon as you open the front door. The apt was also very dirty. I cleaned the toilet and the floor surrounding it but was still unable to get rid of the smell of urine in the bathroom. There were nasty-looking stains on the carpet in the bedroom. Some of the pots and pans in the cupboard were dirty. Two of the burners on the stove immediately began smoking when turned on. There were moldy coffee grounds in the coffee pot. The inside of the fridge was dirty. There was a cigarette butt in the hall closet. Etc.

For me, the bad outweighed the good and I would never consider staying here again."

814908,3094167,2012-12-15,4317230,Anthony,"I absolutely loved staying in Moya's house.  Everything was perfect.  The house is beautiful, modern and cool.  The remote controlled fireplace was amazing.  We also loved hanging out in the backyard and stargazing from the hot tub.  The beds were amazingly comfortable!  I would highly recommend booking this house. It's a steal.  Working with Moya was also a joy. She's super responsive and took great care of us.  I've traveled all over the country and this stay was by far one of my best experiences in a vacation rental. Can't recommend it enough."
814908,3393127,2013-01-22,3752065,Kirsten,"I stayed with 8 girlfriends from New York City for a long weekend at this terrific house.  It is the perfect spot for a larger group (it's huge!) that wants a quiet place but close to the city.  Also, it's close to Zilker park, which is a fantastic place for a run/walking/kayaking.  I would highly recommend this house.  "
814908,3620344,2013-02-26,1679769,Hn,"Our weekend stay in Austin was perfect.  The house was exactly what our large group was looking for- perfectly located, plenty of space, pool/hottub, modern kitchen.  

An additional note: Moya's hospitality was above and beyond what we could have asked for.  She was extremely responsive in the weeks before our visit and extremely flexible while we were in town.  "
814908,3682493,2013-03-04,4009188,Justin,The stay was great! Really nice house and really chill host. 
814908,3771042,2013-03-13,909462,Michiel,"We stayed at Moya's place during SXSW 2013. It was great. A really nice, spacious house, shops nearby, close to downtown, everything very well taken care of. A nice, quiet neighbourhood. We cooked, barbecued, washed etc. Just 10 mins cycling from downtown. We were with 12: no problem. Wonderful. I had regular contacts with Moya - all really satisfactory."
814908,4333011,2013-04-29,4379512,Amber,"We rented Moya's home for a bachlorette weekend.  Beautiful, clean, spacious, perfect location, with a pool! 

Moya was a pleasure to work with, and extremely accommodating throughout the entire rental process.  During the weekend, we felt so very taken care of and welcomed!"

814908,5174258,2013-06-17,360513,Laura,"We had a great stay in this home - it is spacious and was comfortable for our large group.  Would recommend a car for getting around, but taxis and lots of walking worked too!  Moya was super responsive and answered all my questions right away.  Would recommend for another stay in Austin!"
814908,5448161,2013-07-01,5335398,Steven,This is a awesome place for a group of people.  It's a 5 minute cab ride from anywhere you want to go.  There is a corner store half a block down that makes great breakfast tacos and is super convenient to quickly snags food/drinks.  You can walk to Black Sheep Lodge on Lamar.  It's a great gastro pub type place.  MAKE SURE TO GO TO THE BARTON SPRINGS IF YOUR THERE WHEN ITS WARM.  It's 2 minutes away (long walk/short drive) and is a really cool thing to do.  The whole stay blew away my expectations.  In my humble opinion this is the BEST option on AirBnB for an Austin trip!  Thank you Moya!
814908,7693800,2013-09-30,2415270,John,We did a little reunion at Moya's place. It was a great fit for a dozen people. The house has all the amenities you would need and the pool is amazing. There is a grill for BBQ'ing which was a plus. It was very easy to get downtown too. Moya was a great hostess and made the check in and check out process very smooth. Highly recommend!
814908,9602651,2014-01-03,70614,Vimal,Moya's house was great. We really enjoyed the hot tub and it's a beautiful house. We had a wonderful time and Moya was very responsive.
814908,9831672,2014-01-13,10530211,Jonathan,"We had an outstanding weekend staying at Moya's gorgeous home. A good friend from college was getting married in Austin, and 10 of us needed a place to stay. We instantly fell in love with Moya's Airbnb listing, and the house did not disappoint. The house has been beautifully designed and maintained, and we were thrilled that everyone had so much space! Seriously, this house is HUGE! (We were a bit like kids in a candy store the first time we toured the entire property.) And Moya was a fantastic host - incredibly communicative and well-prepared. We felt really taken care of all weekend. Also, this location is perfect - South Austin is super charming, and it was an easy cab ride to everywhere we needed to go. We were a little disappointed that the pool was too cold to swim in, but, hey, it was January. I can't recommend this house or Moya strongly enough! Book this house now, and you're in for a serious treat."

814908,10021172,2014-01-26,10664267,Pam,"Yes - there is lots of room at this home and it is in a nice, quiet location (can walk to park area; near downtown, restaurants, grocery store). We had a family group of 13 adults and there was a bed for everyone. Adequate hot water and bathrooms for a large group as well. The kitchen was sufficient for preparing daily breakfast. We did not use the patio/grill/pool/spa due to the freezing weather during our January stay. Minor cons: Moya told us on arrival that the gas fireplace was not working (and we would have used that due to the cold weather during our visit). Showers/tubs in the 3 bathrooms upstairs; main floor and basement are ½ baths which made it somewhat inconvenient for those with walking handicaps. But overall, good visit and Moya was easily reached for any question we had."
814908,10416836,2014-02-18,9014218,Ellen,"This house was perfect for our group!  We had a party of 5 couples, and we couldn't have asked for a more comfortable living arrangement.  The grill and pool were amazing too-made for a really fun night in!

Moya was so responsive and accommodating.  Truly-start to finish we had an amazing vacation and we'd recommend this house to anyone!"
814908,10533534,2014-02-24,11136613,Caitlin,Amazing house!! We would definitely recommend. 
814908,11171779,2014-03-24,5683967,Brittany,"8 of us stayed at Moya's while in Austin for a wedding last weekend.  The house is quite large - the bedrooms are spread across three floors and we all fit there comfortably.  As someone mentioned below, the only full bathrooms are connected to the 3 bedrooms on the third floor, so we had to accommodate the downstairs guests in that regard.  The basement has a few sleeping areas, but they are not separated by real walls or doors.  The house was very clean and quiet, as was the street.  We really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub.

There's a minimart just across the street, and the house is about a 2 minute drive to Lamar Road where there are a ton of restaurants, stores, things to do and about a 10 minute drive to downtown Austin/Congress Street, so the location was really unbeatable.  We had a few issues - figuring out how to reset the hot tub, and turning on the hot water for the master bathroom shower - but Moya was very responsive when we called or texted her.  It was a great stay and I'd certainly stay here with a group of friends again."
814908,12529035,2014-05-05,11457716,Ashley,"Had an amazing weekend in Austin at this house! 1) house is huge, very spacious for 10 people 2) pool was outstanding, an oasis 3) great location - close to downtown and south congress. I hope to stay again soon!"

814908,21653862,2014-10-21,17255355,Winnie,"Moya was a great host. She greeted us when we arrived and went over the important items on staying in the house and didn't stress the smaller items. Clearly, it's a house that is for a lot people so the activity level and use of the space is going to be high. She highlighted the rules on noise and the pool which affect the neighbors and not on little things so I appreciate that. The house was very modern and huge which worked out great for a group of 11 adults and 3 toddlers. Even though it was so modern and had a lot of sharp edges, it was fine for the kids. It was a very beautiful house and living space inside and outside and located in a great part of town. We were able to walk to Zilker park and to drive to groceries and good restaurants that were less than 10 mins away. I would recommend staying here for future visitors. "
814908,22600558,2014-11-10,22533130,John Michael,"The house was very nice and very modern. The layout of the house worked perfectly for large or small groups. The owner met us at the house to walk us through how things work and where things are. The only thing I would warn people about is the extra charges. Yes it does have pool, but it cost $250 to heat it if you would like to use it. The forms ask for a $500 cash deposit just incase the neighbors complain for any reason. Also, we wished there was at least 1 TV upstairs. Location is great. Easy to walk 10 minutes to a lot of different restaurants. "
814908,24939900,2015-01-04,23461083,Britney,"We stayed here with 12 friends for NYE and we are so glad we chose this over a hotel. The house is huge! Lots of rooms, beds and space. The bunk beds in the basement are not very comfortable, but it was nice to have the extra space downstairs. As someone mentioned, all the showers are on the 3rd floor and connected to the bedrooms. It wasn't a big deal for our group but something to keep in mind. The location is good, just a short cab to downtown and walkable to some stuff. Moya was always available via text with any questions we had which was much appreciated. I'd definitely stay here again (hopefully when its warm enough to use the pool next time)! "
814908,25598666,2015-01-20,7746381,Arianne,"Moya answered all of our questions promptly and was helpful in providing information about all of the homes' features to make sure we knew how everything worked. (You should expect to meet her in person when you arrive, not to have keys left behind for you to let yourself in.) I was there as part of a group of 8 friends for a quiet weekend of cooking and catching up.  The neighborhood is definitely quiet. Even though we weren't partying or up to anything crazy, we felt pretty self conscious about making any noise outdoors, even just a group conversation. So just keep that in mind.  The house is very modern and clean. Tons of nice beds and plenty of room to spread out which was nice.  The kitchen was equipped with all the basics in terms of plates, dishes, utensils, bowls, etc., which was good because we did a lot of cooking.  But don't expect to find a stocked pantry with spices and such that you can draw from (not a complaint at all, just an FYI.) All in all it suited us well.  The hot tub was nice (I would say it comfortably fits 4 but you can squeeze a couple more in if you don't mind being cozy).  If you are excited about the heated pool, be sure to ask whether that's included in the rate you are paying or if heating the pool will cost extra. In our case, it was extra, which I didn't realize when I made the reservation. Perhaps that was in the fine print, though..."
814908,27016020,2015-02-23,27482965,Meril,"We really enjoyed our stay at the Lap of Luxury house in Austin. The house was well appointed, spacious, very clean and relaxing. There are plenty of beds, bathrooms, showers and amenities for a large group. The linens were very nice, every bed was cozy. We had 8 people and everyone was comfy. Moya was very sweet and met the first guest and went over everything in detail. We didn't use the pool because it was cool out, but it looked fun. There was plenty of room for parking, including the garage. There is a nice market right near the house to get things for the fridge. Overall, it was a great place to reconnect with old friends and relax and enjoy Austin. We found Zilker park to be close enough to everything we wanted to do and Uber had no problem finding us when we needed to go out. Thanks Moya for a great weekend place to stay!"

814908,50085389,2015-10-09,24737248,Renee,"I booked this house for a corporate meeting of 11 individuals.  It was spacious and comfortable for our meetings and presentations during the day and had room for all to comfortably be spread out for sleeping.  All beds do not have complete privacy (a curtain for privacy instead of an actual door), but we are a close knit group so this was sufficient to serve our needs.  The house was stocked with ample kitchen utensils and bathroom necessities to fit our needs as well.  The location was in easy walking distance or a short ride to restaurants and attractions and Moya was a very accommodating host.  "
814908,50157002,2015-10-09,42131022,Jessica,The host canceled this reservation 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2124067,10053384,2014-01-27,11491553,Elise,"Very comfortable bed! I believe it is the best bed I have ever had on a vacation. Great location. Only 1.5 miles to the springs and 2.5 miles to down town. Check out the flagship Whole Foods market- Amazing.
Alice is a sweetheart and willing to do anything to make your stay comfortable. Organic coffee, great beer and organic fruit were waiting for us when we arrived. We loved her dog, Chudley. We even took him for a walk one day when we were wondering around. He seemed to really enjoy that!  The weather was terrible for one of the days, but we were just happy to hang out  in our cozy hangout. It was a wonderful retreat.  Thank you Alice :)"
2124067,12267339,2014-04-28,10972475,Kasee,"I stayed in the studio for three months while working in Austin and the place is great. Studio is very clean, spacious and very convenient to everywhere in Austin. The studio is very private and quit. Alice was a great host. I would recommend staying here if you a takin a short or long trip to Austin. Can not beat the location of this studio apartment! "
2124067,17895809,2014-08-18,1880087,Johanna,"I stayed in Alice's studio for four days and it was perfect. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool are within walking distance. Another great thing is the bus stop going uptown is just a few blocks away. Everything you can need Alice has in the studio. For example, I had forgotten my body wash. To my surprise, Alice not only had a new bottle of body wash; but also, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. I would definitely recommend the space and would stay here again. Thank you Alice! "
2124067,18151100,2014-08-22,19599471,Amanda,This place was wonderful! My boyfriend and I visited Austin for his birthday and Alice made the experience a great one! The studio was so comfortable (especially the bed) and Alice even left some delicious wine and craft beer for us! The place is in the perfect location to explore Austin. We would definitely go back to Alice's studio for future visits. 
2124067,18995035,2014-09-04,11413019,Jessica,"Great space! Great hostess! The room was clean and there were plenty of towels. The small kitchenette had all the dishes, soap, sponges needed to be usable. The side private entrance and parking space was also handy. Alice is sweet, thoughtful and flexible. "
2124067,19550083,2014-09-14,19534768,Daniel,"A really great space in an awesome neighborhood. The studio has all the necessary commodities for a short stay in Austin including an amazing king size bed. Alice was a wonderful host. Easy to contact, quick to respond, and available if you need area recommendations. She also provided a handy guidebook highlighting bars, restaurants, and retail shops in the neighborhood with maps and directions. Overall, a great experience. "
2124067,19787037,2014-09-18,18163063,Cris,Alice was very flexible and allowed us to check in earlier than scheduled.  She was very quick to respond to my text messages.  She greeted us and gave us the tour of the studio.  Our names were written on a chalkboard and she even had a bottle of wine and beer waiting for us.  The listing description was accurate - definitely cute and cozy.  The neighborhood was great!  Lots of funky places to eat and drink close by and super close to Barton Springs.  Alice was a lovely host and we'd be back in the blink of an eye.
2124067,20285175,2014-09-27,36700,Carlos,"The location was perfect for me, only a couple of blocks from my film festival.  Alice's place was clean, comfortable, and friendly.  This was the first Air b n b place that had a welcome sign with my name on it.  Alice was very polite and responsive.  I would definitely recommend staying at this property."
2124067,20570695,2014-10-01,13796794,Paul,"Alice was very warm, responsive and helpful providing everything we needed to get set up in her wonderful little studio. She left wine and craft beer in the fridge and the place was in a great location, walking distance to great restaurants, bars and coffee shops. We had a wonderful time! Thanks so much!"
2124067,20992177,2014-10-09,14613898,Lea,"This was a great spot. We came to Austin for ACL and this was a great location! We were able to easily walk to the festival and not hassle with taxis or parking. We could also walk to a ton of restaurants on South Lamar which was great. It is in a residential spot so it is quieter but you are very close to lots of spots on S. Lamar. The host did an amazing job of making us feel welcome. There were fresh flowers, pears, beer, wine, and coffee waiting for us when we arrived! She was also very accommodating with our late arrival. The space was great. A great king size bed - super comfortable. A small bathroom but functional and the kitchenette was convenient. We would definitely recommend this place. "
2124067,21282328,2014-10-14,2442003,Amber,Alice's place was great! Everything we needed was there. The place was cozy and comfortable! Alice is a great host and accommodating!
2124067,21583592,2014-10-20,12087484,Dana,"We had such a fantastic visit staying here! It was clean, close to fantastic restaurants and Barton Springs.  We loved all the extra things Alice did to make us feel welcome. We plan on staying here every time we come to Austin! "
2124067,21811236,2014-10-24,18747181,Mandeep,Excellent
2124067,21962897,2014-10-27,37819,Sarah,"Alice was the perfect host.  We arrived a few minutes before she got home, and she greeted us with cookies.  So nice.  Like other reviewers have said there was beer and wine, as well as some sparkling water available to drink.
Alice went out of town the day after we arrived, but she left contact info for a friend in case we needed anything while she was gone.  We didn't.
The house is in a great location.  We spent our first few days walking everywhere, it's about a mile from 1st street where there are tons of food trucks, and then we walked over to South Congress, not far either.  It's also an easy walk to Lamar where you can catch a bus downtown.  Also lots of places along Lamar for music and food.  If you don't like walking, maybe not the best location for you unless you have a car!
Alice is by far the best host I have stayed with.  She made us feel so at home and taken care of.  The house is full of everything you need to make your stay comfortable.  "
2124067,22362600,2014-11-04,21449258,Chris,"Even though we didn't see her much, Alice was a great host. From the welcome note on the chalk board to the french press in the kitchenette, it felt like a home away from home. The room was clean, nicely decorated, and everything worked as it should. The neighborhood was great—full of trees, gardens, and interesting architecture—and close to what's going on in Austin. I would highly recommend this ""Zilker Studio"" for 2-3 guest looking for a hometown view of Austin."
2124067,22696804,2014-11-12,21450984,Nicole,"My boyfriend and I stayed with Alice for Fun Fun Fun Fest, and had an absolutely great time! The place was so home-y feeling and much bigger than we anticipated! Alice was great, and had everything we needed. It was also in a great location, in a nice residential quiet neighborhood, but within walking distance to downtown and SoCo area (bus system was super great too). We will definitely be back! "
2124067,23106776,2014-11-23,21479024,Aaron,"Alice left us a personalized chalkboard note and fine craft beer in the fridge, along with a bottle of wine. On top of that, there was a great, super thoughtful package of recommendations for places to eat, drink, and visit while in Austin. The neighbourhood was ideal! Zilker is close to a ton of great restaurants that range in price and cuisine style, Austin Beer Garden Breweries, a cute coffee shop, but is still quiet. It exceeded our expectations. Also, if you rent a bike or take public transit, getting to and from different areas in Austin is really easy from here.  "
2124067,25643204,2015-01-21,20445605,Eileen,"We had an absolutely perfect experience staying at Alice's. The space is clean and well appointed. We arrived to a welcome note on a little chalkboard in the studio. So sweet!  Beers and coconut water in the fridge, delicious local wine, and cara cara oranges - it was lovely. 

Alice is a great host. When we arrived we met her son, cat and dog, and reviewed the necessities. It was a pretty effortless trip for us, thanks to this amazing spot. Oh, and the bed is the best! 

Truly great place, thoughtful and considerate host, and we'd love to go back! "
2124067,25852002,2015-01-27,25697600,Pedro,"Alice was wonderful. Although we never met due to us sleeping in, getting up and leaving right away to enjoy Austin she was great. Checking in and out was brief, easy and painless. Told us about some local spots and things around her neighborhood. The listing was exactly like it was explained in the post. If you know Austin her spot is by Zilker Park and is $10 cab ride to most places in the downtown area. Renting here would be a no-brainer. The place was ""cute and cozy"" like the listing the described. While the futon allows for a couple more people one would enjoy a romantic weekend for two or a business trip for one. The bed is a king and the shower has hot water. Do yourself a favor and rent this place. "
2124067,26095799,2015-02-03,3200401,Jaye,We very much enjoyed our stay in Alices's  neat studio. Everything was as described and more. Every possible need was anticipated from welcome fruit and snacks to games and books and extra towels. Loved the attention to details in this space.  Delightful. 
2124067,26976882,2015-02-23,24601622,Stacy,"This was the perfect place to stay during our Austin trip! The studio and the pictures were exactly as described, and communication with Alice was easy. The bed is comfortable, the sheets and towels very clean, and the kitchen was an added bonus. Her studio was walking distance from a great coffee shop (Irie Bean), some of Austin's coolest places to drink and eat (Barley Swine, Brown's Barbecue, East Side King), and some good hikes (Barton Creek Greenbelt). It's also a short drive to downtown Austin, so if you use a car service to get around, it's less than $10. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we are in Austin!"
2124067,27499518,2015-03-06,26970547,Erika,This place was wonderful! Alice was a great host. She made sure we had everything we needed (including complimentary wine and craft beer in the fridge). The studio was very clean and in a great location. If we come back to Austin we would definitely stay here again!
2124067,27729419,2015-03-10,1321230,Ana,Alice was very helpful and the Studio was perfect! Great location. 
2124067,28121233,2015-03-18,10439914,Gregory,"Alice was the most amazing host. The space was exactly what we expected and we arrived to a personalized sign along with information about all the local spots.

The space was perfect for a trip to Austin in the cutest part of the city close to amazing food and bars. Alice went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and was an extremely gracious and warm host.

I would definitely stay here again and would recommend the space to any one!

Hope to see you again Alice! :)"
2124067,28463138,2015-03-24,13742137,Nora,"We had a great time in Austin, using Alice's studio as a comfortable and well-equipped home base. Alice greeted us upon our arrival, and showed us the features of the studio. We had everything we needed for a great stay, including local beer and great snacks in the kitchen area, an extremely comfortable bed and pull-out couch, and a patio to enjoy the amazing spring weather. Our son was delighted by Alice's friendly dog, and by the playground a couple of blocks away. The studio is within just a few blocks of a couple of coffee shops, quite a few good eateries, boutiques, hair salons, etc. S. Lamar is quite a busy street, with a lot of traffic zooming by, which surprised us considering the many new, small, independent businesses along it. I guess it's a neighborhood in transition. However, we didn't hear the traffic at all from the studio, only chirping birds!
It would be a pleasure to stay in Alice's studio again. "
2124067,28943958,2015-04-01,3124528,Meme,Alice was awesome! She really made this last trip to Austin perfect. We are moving at the end of April and we decided to go with an apartment close to her neighborhood as we loved it during our stay! It is close to so many things and walking distance to some good bars. The room itself was cozy and clean. The bed was super comfortable and she left us a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. I would recommend the Zilker Studio without any reservations! THANK YOU ALICE!!
2124067,29124795,2015-04-04,6356908,Megan,"We had a great stay at the Zilker studio! Although we did not have a the chance to meet Alice the studio was comfortable, clean, and in a great location. We liked the area so much we moved into an apartment a few blocks away. We recommend this studio to anyone visiting Austin!"
2124067,29965160,2015-04-15,7066658,Nick,"What a incredible place. Quiet, comfortable and clean. It's also very spacious and has a lovely shower too. 

Fantastic location for all things to do in Austin. We hired bikes and got around quickly without any fuss to various neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood feels very safe too. 

Alice is a wonderful host who is friendly, always on hand to help with little tips and adds wonderful little touches with snacks, local beers and fruit left. 

Do not hesitate booking this place as it will beat any 5 star hotel and it is in the perfect location. "
2124067,30215111,2015-04-19,9831718,Dominique,There couldn't have been a better place for my mom and I to stay during our first trip to Austin. Alice was welcoming and was very responsive to email/text when we had questions. Her place was central to everything that my mom and I had planned to do during our visit. We loved going for a walk to Barton Springs and did it two mornings while we were there. I would absolutely recommend her place to anyone looking to stay in Austin. Until next time!
2124067,30448376,2015-04-22,7066658,Nick,See my previous review. Coming back a second time felt like returning home. It's wonderful. 
2124067,30830142,2015-04-27,20818007,Charlene,"Alice's studio was absolutely sublime.  It was clean and bright and fitted with perfect local details.  From the local tourism pamphlets to the little treats Alice stocked for my daughter and me, every aspect of our stay was delightful.  The neighborhood was so lovely that my kiddo and I spent a couple of hours walking around and photographing flowers and butterflies!  I almost don't want to recommend Alice's studio just because I want to make sure it is available again whenever I stay in Austin!"
2124067,31692726,2015-05-09,2482403,Patty,"Alice met us when we arrived and was warm and welcoming with snacks and a fine bottle of local wine.  There were even breakfast supplies (coffee, juice, milk & cereal)!  She took time to describe to us the area and some of the places we might want to visit as well as information about public transportation.  Even though Alice's descriptor reads ""cute and cozy"" which sounds smallish to me, her place was quite spacious for the two of us.  It was very comfortable and in a quiet and safe neighborhood located (walking distance) just a few blocks from some great places to eat and centrally located.  There was even off-street parking for our rental car.  We would definitely recommend Alice's place and would be glad to stay there if we visit Austin again.  Thanks, Alice.  It was a pleasure to meet you, to stay at your place and enjoy your lovely part of town."
2124067,31949199,2015-05-12,21695998,Kellee,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Alice was quick to respond to questions and was very accommodating. She is a great host, it's the little details that really set this experience apart from others... personalized welcome sign, local beer/wine, snacks, water, night light in the bathroom, plenty of hangers, etc. The studio was clean & very comfortable, loved having a king size bed. The bed frame can be a bit creaky, but it was no bother. I sprained my ankle while out and about, so we spent more time at the studio than we expected. I was pleased to have a cozy quiet space to rest. And I was so thankful for the freezer for ice packs. Parking is very convenient right outside the studio. WiFi worked great, shower was hot and the AC was cold. 

The neighborhood is happening. There are so many great bars and restaurants in walking distance. Ride Sharing services were readily available, we never waited more than a couple minutes and fares were as little as a couple dollars and always less than ten bucks. Great for bar hopping downtown. Fantastic location; a perfect home base. Would return in a heartbeat. "
2124067,32341663,2015-05-17,13111134,Theresa,"Alice was a lovely host.  There was seltzer and a local beer in the fridge- snacks in a basket and a welcome sign with our names on it.  The studio is clean and comfortable with lots of light.
I was under the impression the location was closer to the hike and bike trail though.  It is a mile away. "
2124067,34950736,2015-06-14,30669710,Elizabeth,"Snacks upon check in, use if the yard and trampoline for our young daughter. Helpful restaurant reviews and directions."
2124067,36234765,2015-06-26,9161896,Marcus,"Great studio with easy access to many great spots in Austin.  Very comfy bed with nice small kitchen.  Alice even left some beer, water, coffee and a few other items around the kitchen.  The AC works very well. Nice garden with tables to relax at.  Would recommend to anyone looking to get to stay at an alternative to hotels.  Don't miss nearby Torchy's Tacos and Sway Thai.  "
2124067,36696242,2015-06-30,9723224,Maggie,"Wow. Another truly amazing Airbnb experience. She put so much care into the place-it was comfortable (800 thread count sheets!), clean, well stocked with even coffee and a French press plus all kinds of extras (local beer + watermelon spears and even a bag of ice in the fridge/freezer!). She truly went above and beyond and was nice, helpful, not in any way intrusive. In two words, a gracious hostess! : ) Plus, the place is perfectly located with or without a car. We brought bikes and used Uber a lot; only place we drove to was the AMAZING swimming hole Alice sent us to!!!"
2124067,37369122,2015-07-06,2304419,Erik,We really enjoyed our stay at Alice's studio off S Lamar. Alice is a very welcoming host with lots of advice on fun things to do in the area. She  made us feel at home with some local treats and a welcome message on the chalkboard. The studio itself is comfortable and provides everything you need. Would definitely recommend!
2124067,38236088,2015-07-13,37949139,Andy,Host was extremely accomodating and very welcoming. The apartment was very well kept and had all necessary living accomodations. I can't envision having a better experience anywhere in Austin.
2124067,39128996,2015-07-20,5853976,Kawika,"Alice is a wonderful host! The space is more like a private condo, totally private from the main residence. The bed was comfy, the shower was great and the location was ideal. I would defiantly stay here again, value for money 10/10"
2124067,40508072,2015-07-31,38828813,Aaron,Alice is a wonderful host. She was incredibly responsive and accommodating when my day-of-arrival plans were shuffled a bit due to unforeseen rental car issues. The apartment is a nice size and in a great location. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a stay in Austin.
2124067,46210286,2015-09-08,31342610,Shyam,"Alice was an amazing host and the studio was equally perfect. It was actually larger than I expected and was extremely clean upon arrival. It was very private with a lot of natural light, and if you look out the window, you might catch her adorable dog Chudleigh frolicking around the yard. Additionally, the location cannot be beat anywhere else in Austin, in my opinion. I'd recommend this space any day and will likely try to reserve it again whenever I am back in Austin."
2124067,47204062,2015-09-16,43258229,Abbigail,"Alice was an amazing host! We were welcomed with a nice bottle of Texan wine and a list of suggested places to go. The house was easy to find (even in a rainstorm) and the room was perfectly described. I was traveling with my husband and 3 month old and it was more than enough room for us all. Alice even was kind enough to lend us her pack and play,  what a lifesaver! The neighborhood was nice and quiet but so close to everything, we even walked to a few restaurants. When we visit Austin again it would be a pleasure to stay with Alice! "
2124067,48114187,2015-09-23,3881711,Katarina,"It was everything we could have needed and more! Great location to everything we wanted to experience. Alice left us an awesome chalkboard greeting and bottle of wine for both my mom and I to enjoy! The space was comfortable and felt like home. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the little gravel porch outside our front door and the neighborhood is fantastic for early morning walking. We met Alice on our last day but she was so kind and sweet. We will most definitely stay here again! Thanks, Alice! "
2124067,49417312,2015-10-04,5185430,Deirdre,"This studio was perfect! The space is roomy and welcoming. The kitchen had everything I needed. The bed was cozy. And, best of all, the location was perfect. Alice is very easy to communicate with and was able to accommodate a slight schedule change with ease. "
2124067,50211635,2015-10-10,15869446,Katherine,Alice's place was very comfortable and well-taken care of. The neighborhood was quiet and convenient. Alice was available for any help I needed during my stay which was great. 
2124067,50612104,2015-10-13,28892460,Sara,Alice was great! As all the reviews have said - great great! She was very helpful and accommodating! 
3411798,15363502,2014-07-07,6989808,Robert,The garden studio was awesome!  Exactly as described and Debbie is a fantastic host.  Highly recommended - we hope to stay here again when we visit Austin.
3411798,15651075,2014-07-13,1177624,Krista And Timothy,The guest studio is lovely and has absolutely everything you need! It feels like home with its comfy living room couches and lil kitchenette! It is so warm with the fun artwork hanging on the walls and a great selection of books and movies to entertain yourself with! Debbie was so kind and  stayed in constant contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed! She was also very flexible on our check out time which was such a huge blessing because we had our 5 week old baby boy with us and he needed extra eating and napping time! I can't wait to bring our jogger next time because the neighborhood is so cool and has beautiful big trees for great shade! We have stayed in two other AirBnB homes in Austin and this one is our favorite! We can't wait to stay here again! 
3411798,15937293,2014-07-18,17974532,Linda,My daughter and I spent three night at this location and we could not have been more pleased with the entire experience. Debbie and Bob were available when we arrived and the place was immaculate. They left little goodies in the refrigerator we were not expecting:) The neighbor hood was wonderfully peaceful. Close enough and just far enough away from downtown. We LOVED it!
3411798,16161360,2014-07-22,16875731,Jennifer,"We spent 2 nights in Debbie's guest house and LOVED IT. It's adorably decorated and very quaint but extremely comfortable. Debbie went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed (and even some very nice extras that we weren't expecting!) We had total privacy and truly felt like we experienced a bit of an ""escape"" for the weekend. The location was perfect for what we were looking to do - a relatively short drive to Lady Bird Lake and Rainey Street. We will definitely be coming back on our next getaway to Austin. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
3411798,16575305,2014-07-29,17889730,James,"It was great!
"
3411798,16913490,2014-08-04,3368415,Lauren,"I chose Debbie's guest house as a wedding gift to some friends of mine for their ""staycation"" after their wedding in Austin. While it is not near some of the more tourist-y areas, it is still located to all of the major throughways  and some of my personal favorite spots in the city that you might not discover if you stayed closer to downtown. The house itself is a great size, beautifully decorated, and there's lots of small touches that I noticed throughout. 

Debbie was an excellent host! She coordinated with me on getting the keys and checking in even though I wasn't the party staying there. She was very helpful and left a list of things to do in the area. (I almost wish that I had booked it for me!)

Both the bride and groom have told me how wonderful their experience was and how grateful they were to have Debbie as their host."
3411798,17297949,2014-08-10,18203997,Laurie,"My husband, six year old daughter, and I loved our stay in Austin.  Debbie and her husband were very hospitable and accommodating.  
The rental house is well organized and furnished to maximize space, making it feel bigger than it is.  She had a selection of adult and kid movies as well as books and a few art supplies and toys available.
The yard was beautiful, my daughter loved feeding the fish and turtle in the pond.  
The neighborhood was very centrally located and easy to navigate with plenty of places to eat and shop nearby.  
I would definitely recommend this rental for anyone being a place to stay in Austin."
3411798,17969084,2014-08-19,17847121,Zach,"Debbie's studio guest home was excellent. We couldn't imagine a better place to stay in Austin. She provided us with everything we could ever need as well as a list of places to visit and places to eat. Her home had covered parking, a beautiful garden with amazing detail and she seemed very pleased to have us! Stay at Debbie's and you'll feel right at home. "
3411798,18866502,2014-09-01,3365061,Robert,"A mother's love infuses this space, originally designed for Debbie's kids as they transitioned out into the real world as young adults.  You'll love the original art and all the smart uses of space that make this seem like a much bigger dwelling.  Unexpected bonuses include the magical back yard which Debbie gives you full access to, and feels like something out of ""Alice in Wonderland."""
3411798,20012912,2014-09-22,3004645,Andy & Sandi,"This Airbnb host is an asset to the organization and why we have foregone hotels for a long while. We were thoroughly happy with the place and found Debbie and her son to be very gracious. We would have to say that this is one of the better places we've had the opportunity to stay in and would without a doubt stay again. The bungalow met and exceeded our expectations, with everything you'll need thought of and attended to. From the suggestions about what to do in Austin to the coffee, teas and snacks she provided this was a first class Airbnb host. We found that her adjacent garden was very nice and encourages you to explore. They even provided food to feed the koi and turtles in the pond. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the coffee shop Thunderbird was close by and really good. All in all we can't say enough to express our satisfaction with this stay and emphatically encourage anyone thinking about this place to give it a try."

The stay was perfect! Debbie had starbucks coffee and fancy teas as well as snacks in the fridge. There were written instructions on how to make the futon into a comfy bed and work the TV, as well as suggestions for places to visit nearby (even some that I didn't know about in my own neighborhood). The guest house is tastefully furnished with a mixture of new and vintage things and I loved the art and decor.  Need I mention that it was also immaculate. I appreciated that there were some family movie DVD's as well as a few puzzles for the kids. Debbie's garden is beautiful, there is a pond with coi fish and turtles (with fish food to feed them). I have to say I was sad to leave this oasis and go back home to clean up after the work on our own house was done. I think this would be a great place to stay if visiting Austin from out of town because it's close enough to everything, but still in a quiet neighborhood. "
3411798,20821718,2014-10-06,18655794,Maria,"WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!
I simply do not know where to begin.  Been to Austin many times but this was my first time to attend ACL fest and cannot emphasize what a difference it makes to be in a place where you feel right at home as opposed to a hotel!  First of all, Debbie was gracious enough to allow us to check in a little earlier than the listed time to check in.  This gave us the chance to unload and freshen up from our drive and get comfortable for an all day outing to the ACL event.  To our delight, we found the place just filled with so many wonders, details, amenities and an absolute magical well cared for and detailed back yard/garden - with a Koi fish pond to boot! Our last day there, I simply HAD to feed the fish with the food provided, yes- like a kid! :-D  
Debbie and her husband really have thought of EVERYTHING!  The place is private from the main house, easy to locate, close to downtown in a quiet and quaint neighborhood.  The space is very much maximized and feels like a complete home in itself.  The bed and futon bed are extremely comfortable, and the place is impeccable.  Everywhere we looked there were so many wonderful details, books, displayed art and funky cool pieces of furniture.  The back yard and pond truly felt like a little paradise with so many wonderful plants and flowers, as well as great sitting areas.  Last, but certainly not least, the hosts are such wonderful accommodating folks who respect your privacy and while they were near by, it never really felt like you were staying in someone's back part of their main house.  They have really put so much effort, love and attention to the property.  I definitely recommend this place with 10 stars and hope to book this place again when I'm back in Austin.  I commend you and your husband, Debbie, for all your efforts, details and love you've put into your place.  Thank you very, very much for sharing this little piece of heaven with the those of us lucky to have found your charming home!

3411798,21869020,2014-10-26,17688512,Sarah,"I had such a great time at Debbie's garden oasis.  It was the perfect size, place, and location for what I needed for my trip to Austin.  I don't think it could have been any more perfect.  And to top it off Debbie was extremely welcoming and even stocked the fridge with snacks and treats!  Such a cute place."
3411798,22227354,2014-11-02,15939607,Dino,"It was as described (sort of). The listing does say 'Central' Austin, and it is clearly in the north/northwestern part of Austin, so slightly misleading. The host was great to have things in the fridge for us to have, and the place was very clean/quiet. "
3411798,22576749,2014-11-10,6989808,Robert,"Repeat stay at the Garden Studio.  The studio, grounds and location are perfect!  Can't find any better hosts.  Thanks again"
3411798,22863029,2014-11-16,23423551,Emily,"I really enjoyed my stay here and Debbie and her husband Bobby were EXTREMELY accommodating. I had friends in Austin who were on a road trip and I asked if they could stay too and Debbie was more than wiling to work with me to figure out how all three of us could stay there. 

I was in town for a couple of interviews, and this guest house was located so close (within a 10 mins drive) of all of the places I needed to go so I loved that. 

Debbie was a fantastic host, she even had snacks and bottled water waiting for us when we arrived (much needed and appreciated since we all just spent a day traveling and we were exhausted)

Cute place, I would definitely stay again and would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit the Austin area."
3411798,23444622,2014-12-01,12507867,Molly,"My stay at the Garden Guest House in Austin was perfect!!!  Debbie made it so easy for me to get settled and enjoy my stay while visiting my son and his family who just live down the road from the Garden Guest House.
The accommodations were very comfortable with everything I would need and then some.  I was left with food items in the frig, coffee for the morning, and cream for my coffee!!!!  I really can't think of anything that was left out!
The garden/pond feature of their home was available to me and it was wonderful to listen to the pond feature from outside my window.
I can't say enough about how comfortable my stay was.  Austin is a great city to visit.....especially in November!  The weather was 78 degrees one day!
Enough said.....if I say more, these accommodations will be unavailable to me next time I go to visit my son!  Thank you so much for providing me with a perfect location during my visit to Austin!!
Happy Holidays!
- Molly"
3411798,23644320,2014-12-07,3124528,Meme,"Two words STAY HERE! We LOVED Debbie's Garden Guest house! It was SO clean and comfortable. We were there for 3 day's and we even stayed in on our last night, because it just felt like home. I mean every single linen smelled like it just came out of the drier with the most delicious smelling fabric softener. Debbie really cares about the people who stay with her, as shown by her attention to little details like leaving snacks in the fridge for us, greek yogurt, boiled eggs, half and half for coffee etc.  

It was about a 15 minute drive to downtown, not bad at all! I would recommend this house with no reservation! We had a wonderful, wonderful stay! THANK YOU DEBBIE! "
3411798,24368105,2014-12-27,2084210,Katie,"Debbie was a great host, and the space was perfect! Debbie left an array of snacks, coffee, tea, etc., and the rental was fully stocked with all the tools and accouterments one might need, including plenty of fresh towels, extra blankets, nice-smelling bath products, movies, and books. The space was accurate per the pictures and description, and I highly enjoyed my stay. Thanks, Debbie!"
3411798,24725463,2015-01-02,23262082,Elizabeth,"Wow! Wow! Wow! This place is awesome, and one of the nicest places I have stayed off this site! It looks just like the pictures, very great location, and I always felt welcomed! Debbie and her husband are great! They where welcoming and it was clear that they took pride in their guest house! I would recommend everyone to stay here, it will be a start of a great trip to Austin! They also will help you in any way that they can, they helped us navigate the bus routes!!"
3411798,25738308,2015-01-25,21418269,Christina,"This was my first time using airbnb and it couldn't have been more pleasant! I stayed here with my boyfriend on our first trip to Austin and we really enjoyed it. 
The guest house was super comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed and more! The outdoor garden is a big plus, and a nice place to sit outside, relax and get some sun. There's also a good coffee shop within walking distance from the house that we would walk to in the mornings. Debbie and Bob are great hosts; very welcoming and were available to answer any questions we had.
We really felt at home here, and would definitely come stay again on our next visit to Austin!"
3411798,25998354,2015-02-01,9963643,Jeff,"Debbie's garden house is about as perfect as it could be.  She's such a great hostess. It's clean, cute, well stocked, and comfortable. The bed is so comfy too.  We'll be back for sure. "
3411798,26454999,2015-02-13,2102675,John,"Great space to stay for an Austin visit! Debbie was very nice and accommodating as a host.  The space was clean, quiet, private and very relaxing with parking right out front.  Great place to stay in and relax or go out to the city for some fun.  All good things to say about our stay.  Thanks"
3411798,26858467,2015-02-21,10042040,Craig,"Perfect. That's the easiest way to describe our stay with Debbie and Bob. The space itself was immaculate, well put together, well stocked, and comfortable; the location was perfect (at most 10-15 minutes by car from anything you could ever want to do in the city); and Debbie and Bob were an absolute pleasure to deal with as both ""innkeepers"" and as people. Wonderful cottage, wonderful neighborhood, and wonderful people. Added bonus: they have two adorable little dogs; so if you miss your little guys at home you'll have someone to pet or scratch.  We plan on visiting Texas again in the future, and we have zero intention of even looking for another place to stay in Austin!

P.S. If you're looking for a fitness facility while you're there, we worked out at Hype Park Gym and loved it. It was only $35 for the entire week and it was a great place to train. "
3411798,27072991,2015-02-24,12609655,Nicole,"What a delight it was to say in Debbie's garden cottage.  This was our first experience with Airbnb-so we were a little nervous about the process.  However, it was exactly as advertised and we appreciated the little touches to welcome us-snacks, bottle water, and great communication.  The garden itself is a wonderful and peaceful.  We found our stay restful and we slept deeply.  We plan on returning!  "
3411798,27169055,2015-02-27,8971106,Bruce And Naomi,"What a lovely guest house I found myself in when I went to Austin, where I went to visit my daughter at the University.  Its cozy, well decorated and spotless.  And the hosts have stocked the kitchen with tea and organic oatmeal (which saved me for two mornings as my daughter forgot to bring me cereal!).  I also appreciated the all natural products in use in the guest house.  These are people who care about their environment.  As also evidenced by their beautiful, original garden, into which I was welcomed.  I'm a turtle lover, so imagine my delight to see a turtle swimming in their fountain, along with some impressive goldfish.  And in the morning, doves ate from a bird feeder outside my window.  The hosts, Debbie and her husband, are very friendly and helpful.  Next time I come to Austin, I certainly plan to stay here again.  A home away from home!"
3411798,27714439,2015-03-10,25662813,Aaron,"Debbie was great! The studio was such a fantastic retreat for me and my wife. The weather during our trip wasn't great so we hung out and watched movies. Having a place to relax was exactly what we needed. If I am ever back in Austin, I will be staying again. "
3411798,27808222,2015-03-12,28174120,Alicia,"Debbie's garden guest house is a warmed play to stay for visiting Austin. They are nice and welcoming, thank you again for everything! Merci"
3411798,28117471,2015-03-18,6359216,Giuseppe,"My stay at Debbie's place was just great.
The guest house is nice and well furnished; I didn't have the time to indulge in the garden/patio but it looked amazing from my window :)
Debbie and Bob were very welcoming and helpful.
I especially liked the small treats for breakfast.
The house is conveniently located; bus stations are close; 10-15 mins by taxi to get downtown.
Recommended."
3411798,28322051,2015-03-22,1168714,Tony,Debbie was real nice and the place was great. Real cute. Bueno. Free coffee.
3411798,30688190,2015-04-26,29450528,Marie,"Debbie's garden house was even more charming in person, if you can image that! She was a great host and had many thoughtful touches like the turtle and fish food to make you feel at home and welcome. I would definitely stay there again."
3411798,31438378,2015-05-05,16346624,Cara,"Our stay at the Garden Guest house was wonderful! The guest house is really cute and cozy, and I really enjoyed all the unique artwork on the walls :)

The guest house was very comfortable for us two adults and all the amenities (fridge/kitchenette, tv, wifi, A/C, snacks, etc) were great! And the owners were also generous enough to let us park in their carport. The owners also have a really pretty backyard/garden complete with fish pond.

The neighborhood is quiet and residential, and there was a great coffee shop, Thunderbird Coffee, just a short drive/reasonable walk away. The owners also left a list of local places to check out, which was also really nice to have!"
3411798,31876170,2015-05-11,9162445,Andre,"The place is great: quiet, comfortable and clean. We were in town for a music festival and wanted some peace and quiet to rest after the shows, and Debbie's place was perfect for that. If you want to escape the noise and traffic downtown and you have a car, the house is ideal. Would definitely stay there again."
3411798,32159751,2015-05-15,17310052,Patti,"Debbie Peters and her Garden Guest House are absolutely the best.  No more Omni, Hyatt Regency, AT&T Conference Center for Bill and me when we visit Austin.  Debbie's place is exactly what we needed.
She was kind, gracious, helpful and her guest house was perfect in every way."
3411798,32412481,2015-05-17,32938786,Priyanka,We stayed at Debbie's place for the  weekend. The apartment is super nice and cosy! Debbie is a wonderful host and pays attention to detail. The garden patio is really beautiful and is an added charm to this house! 
3411798,33095944,2015-05-25,18669370,Samantha,"My husband and I stayed at this spot and fell in love with its charm and comfort. The artwork, amenities and atmosphere provided were outstanding."
3411798,33590787,2015-05-30,28887789,Edwine,"We had a great time at the guest house, which was cozy, clean, artistically inspired , and loaded with conveniences in a great location.  Debbie was really wonderful making us feel at home with our toddler daughter right away. The backyard is beautiful and peaceful retreat loaded with feeding birds, turtles, Koi, and plants. 
She left snack and water for us and a list of places of interests, which was really useful. 
And when I asked about laundry, she went out of way and did a load for us, and even folded our clothes.
We strongly recommend this accommodation to anybody visiting Austin.  "
3411798,34009863,2015-06-03,28564081,Zack,"Wow, my wife and I absolutely loved the place! It was exactly like the pictures show. 

   We wanted a nice few days to relax and also do a little walking around in Austin and we got exactly what we were looking for! 

    We walked to the bus stop and took the bus to downtown Austin. The all day bus ticket was cheap and all was really convenient from the house location! 

   We would recommend anyone stay there :)

   We will definitely stay there again if we decide to go to Austin for a getaway.

Thanks Debbie! "
3411798,34286135,2015-06-07,29824779,Chris,Debbie's Garden Guest House was my first Airbnb experience and Debbie could not have exceeded my expectations more. The house was perfect for our stay in Austin and would highly recommend to anyone looking for their visit. 
3411798,34627035,2015-06-10,29711173,Brad,Debbie's garden house was perfect for our trip to Austin.  She has included many thoughtful touches and the location was just right.  We'll happily book with her again!
3411798,35079810,2015-06-15,30595553,Petra,"We were in Austin to visit my son, who recently moved there. This place is very close to his and so it was perfect for our needs. We were welcomed by Debbie and given an overview of the apartment and its amenities. The place was clean and very homey, near shopping and many restaurants. The queen sized bed was comfortable. It has many nice little touches like snacks, the blue tooth speaker and the coffee maker (very much appreciated). I enjoyed sitting in the garden one morning and always liked watching the birds at the many feeders when we were there.  Thanks for a great stay Debbie. We had a great visit with my son and will definitely check for availability when we return to Austin."
3411798,35411283,2015-06-18,33283402,Joe,Debbie's place was great. The description was spot on. Debbie and her husband Bobby provided everything a traveler could ask for ready at my disposal (including a tv channel guide and snacks/water in the fridge) and were friendly and accommodating hosts. I would stay in this house every time I come to Austin if I could!
3411798,35576206,2015-06-20,33984684,Constance,"My husband and I had a WONDERFUL time at Debbie's Garden Guest House! 
We're very private people and the house gave us all the privacy we needed. Debbie let us know, via text to give us our privacy, that she was available for anything we needed. She is a great hostess!!!!  If she'll have us back, we definitely see ourselves staying here again. It was a delight. 
The house was roomy, clean and had everything we needed!
I HIGHLY recommend Debbie's Garden House for your trip to Austin!!!!"
3411798,36421968,2015-06-28,11525269,Sydney,"I loved this beautiful guesthouse! Everything was just as described in the listing. Debbie was kind, accommodating and quickly responded to any question I had. She had many thoughtful extras available- snacks, coffee, bus maps, a list of food and activity recommendations in the area and clear instructions for the futon and TV setup. 
Next time I need a place to stay in the Austin area, I will definitely book this cozy little place again! "
3411798,36933334,2015-07-02,14497969,Shavonne,"Debbie and Bobby are great hosts. The guesthouse was the perfect oasis for my two-day getaway. I appreciate all the details that made my stay comfortable. Oh, and the garden was a beautiful surprise. What a great view! Hope to book with you again..."
3411798,37489819,2015-07-07,5453651,Elyse,How gracious and supportive they both were. Bob came to guide me to their home when I got lost. These are exceptional people and the guest house is right next to a bird sanctuary which is their backyard ! I found it cozy and clean and easy to walk to amenities
3411798,38174419,2015-07-13,34145223,Stephanie,Debbie's guesthouse was extremely comfortable. Everything on the listing was very accurate. The neighborhood was quiet and Debbie was a very accommodating host. My friend and I both enjoyed our stay and we would without a doubt recommend a stay there.

Debbie was a most gracious host who went out of her way to ensure
that we were more than satisfied with our experience. The Guest House  exceeded our expectations, and she ensured that we had everything that we needed: clean facility, fully equipped kitchenette, clean linens & towels, mini first aid kit, lotions, shampoo, body wash and she even provided snacks, coffee, tea, a filtered water pitcher and more. 
Thank you Debbie for elevating the joy we received from our
visit to Austin! We would wholeheartedly recommend your place to
anyone that visits Austin!
"
3411798,38859048,2015-07-19,34322969,Flame,Debbie thought of everything! Our stay was flawless. She was well prepared and thoughtful. I would definitely recommend visiting her spot in Austin!
3411798,39793828,2015-07-26,32775722,Nan,"Great garden apartment in a quaint and quirky Austin neighborhood. Great for young kids, my two year old didn't want to leave! Debbie was so nice to leave out toys for us, and fish and turtle food for her koi pond...it was nice to get back from a day out and relax in the garden while the kiddo played. Apartment was adorable and comfortable, and all the comforts of home. "
3411798,40755941,2015-08-02,3902114,John,"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and thought Debbie and Bobby were fantastic hosts. While we weren't afforded the opportunity to see them very often as we were busy looking for a permanent place to live, when we did they where genuinely warm and welcoming people, always ready with a kind word, some helpful advice or to ask if there was anything we needed.

We also really loved the place itself. The garden was lovely and we really felt at home in the cozy interior which is tastefully decorated and well equipped.  Debbie and Bobby included lots of little extras in the place which again helped make us feel at home.  The pictures accurately reflect what you get with this garden home and the only surprises we encountered were positive ones.

Location also provided us with what we needed. While not right downtown, there are plenty ammenities around, some within walking distance, in the form of grocery stories,  restaurants and a park nearby.  A car is probably a necessity in order to reach the city centre and to comfortably make your way around but I doubt there are many places in Texas where this isn't the case!  Debbie and Bobby also provided us with plenty of information regarding things to do and local ammenities to be found.

Overall, we definitely would recommend staying with Debbie and Bobby and have little doubt that you'll enjoy your stay as much as we enjoyed ours. You're great hosts guys and thanks for you hospitality!

"
3411798,41611382,2015-08-08,16513480,Jieun,Very well-maintained house with great host. Everything is exactly same from the pictures. Parking was right under the big tree which cooled down my vehicle from such hot Austin heat. Very very nice and peaceful neighborhood that has delicious dining and coffee places. Debbie is very sweet person who made us feel being taken cared of. But she respects privacy of her guests. Great housing option for alone or a couple. Definitely will come back!!  
3411798,42404406,2015-08-13,32008936,Elizabeth,"Debbie and Bob were very kind hosts and made sure I had a great experience overall. They were both willing to help if I needed anything. 

The guest house is charming and the perfect size, I really felt at home! It is greatly decorated and everything is there if needed. There's nothing more I could've asked for during my stay and I recommend anyone to stay here during their time in Austin. "
3411798,42888570,2015-08-16,12568875,Irene,"Debbie was a great host. She was waiting for us when we arrived, explained everything clearly and always available when we needed any help.
The house is cozy, very well kept, super clean and had everything we needed.
We strongly recommend it!"
3411798,43837425,2015-08-22,3219609,Elizabeth,"Debbie made us feel like we were right at home! She was a great host who gave us the perfect amount of freedom while also giving us a list of great suggestions about what to do in the area. Her garden guest house was exactly what we needed in the middle of a long road trip. We could relax on the couch and watch TV, while eating a seriously needed home cooked meal we prepared in the kitchen and finally slept like babies in the very comfortable bed. Even something as simple as the bathroom and shower were absolutely perfect! Debbie left lots of nice touches like shampoo/conditioner, a mini first aid kit, and other toiletries in the bathroom. The place included a parking spot which was great because we had our car with us and it was only a short drive (10-15 min down North Lamar) from the house to the heart of downtown Austin. Overall, we'd recommend this place to anyone travelling through Austin who needs a great place to stay that feels like home! We can't wait to come back. Thanks for the lovely stay Debbie!"
3411798,45090162,2015-08-31,14733055,Michaela,"Debbie and Bobby were wonderful hosts. It was my fiancé and my first time to Austin and we chose the perfect spot to stay and discover it. Debbie provided incredible maps of just about everything we could have possibly needed. Bus routes, vintage shopping maps, food suggestions nearby and closer to downtown, you name it. Her detailed lists and information were definitely helpful to us. She even gave us a few more suggestions in passing as we left to plan our day one afternoon. 
The bungalow was very clean and tidy. With every amenity thought out and provided. Since we traveled with carry-ons we greatly appreciated the shampoo, conditioner and body wash they provided. Even q-tips, lotion and a first aid kit. All linens were clean and stain free. The kitchen was stocked with plenty of utensils and cooking supplies to cook a meal and the snacks provided were a special treat to come home to for a midnight snack. 
Debbie and Bobby even were flexible and made extra arrangements when I told them our flight landed at 6am. They allowed us to check in early and had the whole place ready for us to sleep off our red eye flight. 
They had a great dvd selection and detailed notes on how to use remotes and consoles. 
All in all we had an excellent experience. We will definitely stay again when visiting Austin. Nothing to complain about. How an airbnb experience should be. "
3411798,45770120,2015-09-06,17742914,Alvin,"Bob and Debbie's garden guest house made our Austin vacation memorable.  It was very clean, comfortable, and loaded with a lot of amenities and extras that rivals any 5 star hotel.  The place was very comfortable during a very hot Texas trip.  It did not take us a long time to figure out that they care about the place and they love what they do. And the best thing about our stay is that it made us feel home even though we have never been in Austin before.  Thank you Bob and Debbie and we hope that you will host us again!"
3411798,46484129,2015-09-11,38703099,Haley,"This place is even more magical in person than it is in the pictures! Such a cozy little back house, and Debbie is the sweetest hostess! She provided me with a guide to the city, snacks, coffee, and even came home early to help me when I locked myself out! (haha.) It is about a 15 min drive from the heart of the city, but that was TOTALLY worth it to me. I would absolutely recommend it. "
3411798,46753841,2015-09-13,41371998,Frank,Had a great time! Room was clean and Debbie was very nice couldn't ask for a better host! Would definitely recommend a stay here!

3411798,48863490,2015-09-29,9597043,Tina,"Our host Debbie was perfect for our trip, visiting family and sons wedding. Privacy with a friendly face when ever we had questions or needs, like phone chargers when they were forgotten at home. The Guest House was a fantastic size with open space, comfy bed, amazing air conditioner with Smart features like the TV. Wonderful neighborhood to walk about in the morning and stop into the cute coffee house for some treats. Beautiful Garden area which we regret not taking a few more moments to enjoy. Nice surprise every morning watching the birds play and eat on the little food cages right outside the windows. Better than any hotel, we will book again next visit to Texas.  "
3411798,50428854,2015-10-12,33385732,Frank,"Well this was my first time in Austin and using Airbnb. My buddy and I came for the acl music festival and didn't know what to expect. From the minute we got off the car Debbie was very welcoming and polite!  She gave us a Small tour of the place and also introduced us to her dad. The place was very nice and the scenery in her backyard was beautiful (make sure you check it out) She gave us a bus schedule, acl magazine and some great spots walking distance that were DELICIOUS. I can't thank Debbie enough for her hospitality and making our Austin visit worth while. I will definitely come back in the future, thanks again Debbie! "
3411798,51261051,2015-10-19,20672269,Sarah,"This was one of our best Airbnb stays yet. We LOVED Deb's guest house. It was even cuter than pictured. The bed was super comfy, and she thought of everything we might need - coffee, snacks, toothpaste, you name it. The location was great - we especially liked that we were so close to Lamar. This will be our go-to place anytime we go back to Austin."
3411798,52045084,2015-10-26,37317476,Neel,"A wonderful experience.  Nice property with a very thoughtful and generous host.  The property was clean,  functional and with all the amenities you would need. We were out most of the time so did not get to spend as much time in the lovely garden!"
3411798,52817530,2015-11-02,32163203,Penny,"Debbie was very helpful with questions we has about the city both before and after we arrived. The welcome packet had the bus schedule and a list of restaurants within walking distance. The space was beautiful and homey and we had full backyard access, including two dogs, fish,  turtles and birds. "
8136062,50576659,2015-10-12,15790474,Lisa,Katherine was very helpful and a great host. Couldn't of asked for a better location. The place was just as it was described. Everything worked out great and would definitely recommended Katherine and her place for a lovely stay in Austin!!
3264761,14723021,2014-06-24,13453856,Jane,"Danielle's house is so nice! I've stayed in a few airbnb places that didn't live up to the expectations I had from the pics, but this was not the case for her house. Plenty of space for me and my friends to stay during our weekend in Austin. The beds and the couch were super comfy and I'm pretty sure they were new too.

We picked her place mostly because of the convenient location (just around the corner from Weather Up, and we walked/biked everywhere else) but also because her price was killer compared to the other listings I saw in East Austin.

Danielle was really kind and left us a bottle of wine since it was rainy outside... perfect. Then she left us a note with advice on things to do. I'll definitely be booking here again! "
3264761,22357744,2014-11-04,17089576,Aashish,Fantastic place and Danielle made us feel very welcome.  The listing is very accurate and it's a comfortable place to stay.  Thanks Danielle.
3264761,28354898,2015-03-22,11113377,Josh,Beautiful home! Really enjoyed the space and comfort. It was well setup. We had 4 people stay at the house and I slept on the couch for two of the four nights. That was very comfortable as well. I'm not sure if it's a regular thing but the bar across the street at least during SXSW had a band playing until midnight each night which made it difficult to relax after a long day of walking around. Luckily they weren't bad. Thanks for sharing your home Danielle. 
3264761,33279988,2015-05-26,27960641,Steven,"This place worked out perfectly for our group of 7. Plenty of space, and even the couch was more than comfortable for sleeping on. The house is in a great neighborhood with tons of great bars and restaurants within walking distance. It's a short drive to downtown and really made us feel at home during our trip to Austin. Danielle was always available to answer any questions we had and was very accommodating to our schedule. She even left us beer in the fridge to help welcome us. I'd recommend staying here in a heartbeat."
3264761,35954557,2015-06-23,1224212,Ilija,"Danielle was a wonderful host, she made us feel welcomed during our stay. Our communication was quick and easy from the moment we booked the apartment. The house is very nice and comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere, and the neighborhood is amazing. We would definitely come again and highly recommend Danielle’s house."
3264761,46184177,2015-09-08,25387166,Dax,"Danielle was a fantastic host! The place was perfect for a great weekend in Austin! Next to plenty of cool bars, vibes and foods. The home was cozy and comfortable. As described and as pictured, it was a lovely place. Thanks again Danielle!"
3264761,50444524,2015-10-12,10416189,Stacie/Trevor,"Loved it- the house was super cute and we had an absolute blast. Looks exactly as it does in the pictures, with more decorations which made it even better!"
772452,3746595,2013-03-11,4857978,Kristen,"Great place!  Very clean, comfortable, and accessible to where we wanted to go. Angel was a great host- very responsive and easy to communicate with.  Would highly recommend!"
772452,3815997,2013-03-18,3815305,Alexander,"My friends and I stayed at Angel's house for three nights during SXSW & it was AMAZING!!!!

We couldn't stop talking about how nice the house was and spacious and close to downtown. It was exactly what we were looking for. And the lock on the door was code rather than a normal key lock, which was extra helpful because there was 7 of us staying in the house.

Beautiful house, really nice hosts, close to the city, key lock, back yard... PERFECT!!!"
772452,9948504,2014-01-20,4979795,Scott,The reservation was canceled 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
772452,10841230,2014-03-10,33101,Maryanne,"Roomy, comfortable, sweet house.  Quiet neighborhood.  The convenience of the location was spot on for us.  Five of us fit comfortably in the space.  Blaine was most helpful and communicated with us beautifully.  "
772452,11051844,2014-03-18,4882662,Mike,"Blaine's home is nice and comfortable for a group of six (6) or so people. Within a decent vicinity of downtown and all SXSW activities. However, after our group's stay and extensive cleaning of the home on the day of our departure Blaine messaged me complaining about us holding a party at his home (not true, we never had more then 8 people at the home) and that there was a strong cigarette smell throughout the home, including the bedrooms... I honestly don't even know how this is possible as nobody smoked indoors. Blaine demanded that we pay for a full and extensive cleaning service even though we left the home in nearly perfect condition and already paid the mandatory cleaning deposit. I exchanged multiple messages with Blaine in regards to his complaints, I tried my best to explain what really happened and what didn't... Eventually I compromised and offered to pay for part of the cleaning, Blaine responded saying ""I have no interest in going back and forth over such a small amount of money. I'm going to have the steam cleaning done...""
That's the last I heard from Blaine until today when I found a rude review on my profile in regards to our stay in Austin. At the end of the day it seemed pretty obvious that Blaine and his roommates weren't entirely comfortable renting their home out during SXSW and were trying to get over on us for an additional $300 worth of cleaning when we already paid a grand total of $2500 for the rental... 

"
772452,12583698,2014-05-05,9196443,Daniel,"Blaine's house was very comfortable and he was a great host. 5 friends and I stayed there for the weekend, the house had everything we needed and was a short walk away from coffee and a really good burrito place.  We never met Blaine in person but communicating with him was a breeze (via email and over the phone). He sent us a word document with house details that made getting in and out quite nice. I will definitely be making an effort to use Blaine's residence again when I return to Austin. "
772452,16164578,2014-07-22,11455365,Courtland,"The place was awesome, spacious, and with a lot of character. Would stay here again and again!"
772452,16963088,2014-08-04,19259537,Maria,"Blaine's home is very unique and comfortable. I stayed there with a party of 6 and we all fit very comfortably. 

Blaine responded very fast and was very easy to work with throughout the entire process. Great Host! "
772452,21120819,2014-10-12,11947953,Marilyn,"The first hour we were at the house was spent cleaning the floors, counters, and fridge. There was no room for us to put refreshments for the weekend and the house smelled like garbage. There were stains, dog hair, and dirt all over. We had to go purchase febreeze to cover up the smell. The owner did offer to bring breakfast to make up for the messy conditions, but we still had to walk around in the filth."
772452,28143317,2015-03-18,3007567,Sarah,"Blaise was very helpful since the beginning. The explanations for the house we're really clear. 
The house was very nice and clean! Thanks Blaine"
772452,28312384,2015-03-22,19337670,Andrew,Blaine was very helpful getting everything set up. The place was fantastic - easy to find and perfect for what we needed!
772452,29846111,2015-04-13,28770623,Dallas,"Blaine's house is cozy, and uniquely decorated. Very convenient location with two gas stations, a sonic and Whataburger all within walking distance. Close to downtown. He checked in on us to see how we're doing. I recommend this location."
772452,49512410,2015-10-04,44449183,Christopher,"This property was exactly what we were looking for. We had 3 couples and it was our first time in Austin. Blaine made us feel very welcome and even had Champagne and Orange juice waiting for us to make Mimosas. Blaine texted us on check in to make sure we had everything we needed and let us stay a little bit past the check out time. He was very accommodating. The property was great, and we will definitely let him know if we are back in town."
1570491,8030654,2013-10-13,980743,Jordan,Great place in a great location. Ryan was a pleasure to work with!
1570491,8070683,2013-10-14,9305744,Anita,"Ryan was very helpful and responsive. The accommodation suited us perfectly for a quick one night visit with our daughter and nanny. Although the cable wasn't working that was an issue across the whole complex and Ryan was working to flag to property management so hopefully it is fixed now. Would definitely stay here again, good location, good layout. Thank you."
1570491,8394503,2013-10-28,6965734,Maureen,"We had a lovely stay at Ryan's condo. Fun decor and all the comforts of home in an absolutely perfect location for walking to many of Austin's amazing attractions.
Ryan was great from the start, responding immeadiately and greeting us at our arrival. Would highly recommend! "
1570491,8575966,2013-11-05,5390062,Stephanie,We enjoyed our time at the Argyle loft immensely. The place was on the top floor & simply lovely. Ryan was prompt with answering questions & very hospitable. It's the perfect location to explore 6th East or Soco. The only disappointment was that there was no music player device in the home & we couldnt figure out the cable (but we didnt really put that much effort into it) I guess this isn't a huge deal. If you stay here you must try the little fruit smoothie place & yoga studio across the street. 
1570491,8669066,2013-11-11,6334415,Onyi,"The apartment was perfect, and I never had to wait for Ryan to call or text me back. There are restaurants, shops, and bars all within walking distance, and although the nightlife, and at times the daytime activities may be loud, the apartment is quiet. The only gripes I could have involve the often mentioned cable (I don't really watch TV so it wasn't a big deal to me), and the meager cookware. This is a fantastic place to stay and the host is everything one could want in a host. "
1570491,8793164,2013-11-18,9667826,Jeffrey,"Great experience. Austin, F1, 80 degrees in Nov. Ryan was a perfect host. Responsive and always available. Location is hard to beat, in the heart (and soul) of downtown. Place was fresh, clean and safe. Will be doing it all again next year. And a new friend to boot. Thank you."
1570491,9922194,2014-01-19,11345642,Nico,The Argyle Suite/Loft on 4th Street is a very nice place to stay in downtown Austin.  Very close to many bars on E 6th and other attractions.  Ryan was extremely responsive to all the questions I had and I would definitely recommend him as a host.
1570491,10240175,2014-02-08,11913985,Jeremy,The Argyle was fantastic (it really is right in the middle of everywhere you want to be in the downtown area) and Ryan was a professional and highly accessible host.  When there was a hiccup with the water (building maintenance) Ryan was in immediate communication to resolve the issue.  I'd gladly stay here again!
1570491,10270051,2014-02-10,9836817,Adam,"Great location and excellent accommodations!  Very clean, and the keyless entry system is perfect. I would definitely stay there again, thanks Ryan!
"
1570491,10566575,2014-02-25,1839463,George,"Stayed for a few nights and had a business meeting in the apartment. It was great, really awesome location. An all-around fantastic apartment. "
1570491,10657830,2014-03-02,6043097,Arianne,"We really enjoyed staying in the loft. Ryan's place is super accessible to all the best Austin has to offer, and we had a comfortable place to lay our heads and relax while gearing up for another fun-filled day in town. I highly recommend staying here."
1570491,10745932,2014-03-05,6388357,Michelle,"our first airbnb experience, and it was absolutely perfect! Ryan was always available to answer questions. He was so very pleasant to talk to; absolutely genuine. The loft was perfect.....I dont know where to begin! Location was literally heart of Austin..restaurants, shops, convenient stores.....list goes on. We were so very comfortable in the loft, it was a place I will visit again soon. My daughter's 15th birthday was one to remember, she and her friends loved the loft. Thank you Ryan for such a wonderful experience......see you soon! "
1570491,10935434,2014-03-14,5322916,Allison,All guests enjoyed their stay. Great proximity to SXSW! Ryan is very responsive and on top of things.
1570491,13880429,2014-06-07,1216974,Alex,"This is a great apartment that couldn't be better located- 2 blocks from the convention center, 2 blocks from 6th St, 2 blocks from congress, a short walk to Rainey St, High Speed Line is right outside the door, etc. I would definitely stay here again!"
1570491,16067855,2014-07-21,2493265,Amy,"Ryan (and his associate, Thomas) were FANTASTIC hosts!  A group of 8 girls stayed in two of Ryan's apts - and loved our time there.  The apartment was stylish, clean & convenient - but what made the stay even more awesome was Ryan's incredible customer service.  On top of detailed instructions and info, all my questions (even the silly ones) were answered at a snap of the finger.  

Even though there was a last minute hiccup (one of the units was flooded right before my stay), Ryan immediately found another one of his units and booked a hotel room across the street - to ensure that I would have options available.  We ended up going with his other apt unit, and it was even more fantastic than we had expected!

Also, as an added bonus - they left us a champagne treat!  It was such a pleasure to stay there and we will most certainly go back again.  Thanks so much Ryan and Thomas!"
1570491,18708662,2014-08-31,15280633,Henry,"The host, Ryan was very welcoming and polite and made sure we had everything we needed. The area was fantastic and right downtown in amazing Austin, Texas. What else can I say. We had a amazing time in this apartment and would 110% recommend it!"
1570491,20423551,2014-09-29,19686705,Sara,"The Argyle made for a perfect first trip to Austin.  Came for a girls weekend and was in a perfect location.  Walking distance to just about everything including great bars, restaurants, and conveniences like grocery/liquor & wine stores/coffee shops. Would highly recommend this property for anyone who wants to be close to what the city has to offer.  Ryan was an great host and provided lots of great information and suggestions on the property and city.   "
1570491,21653441,2014-10-21,18660919,Theresa,"The host could not have been nicer and more accommodating. We had a great time staying at the condo. The description and pictures are completely accurate. The condo is in a great area, and walking distance to most everything around town. I would 100% stay in the condo if I return to Austin in the future. Thank you so much Ryan and Thomas!!"
1570491,22874064,2014-11-16,6893173,Ian,"The Argyle definitely has some character. It's a Mad Men style loft that makes you want to drink some 18 year scotch while smoking your pipe. The location is absolutely excellent. There is an abundance of cool restaurants within a stones throw from the front door and with a bit of ambition, you can get to Rainy or 6th on foot! Getting settled in and parking was painless and quick. I'd stay here again in a minute!"
1570491,23579306,2014-12-05,23968340,Michael,Absolutely fabulous! A wonderful host and the location couldn't have  been any better. Thank you for hosting us!
1570491,24815883,2015-01-03,21895928,Cherry,"Amazing support from the day I booked to the day we headed out. Ryan and his team were always in reach for requests of all kinds, from asking early move-in to suggesting a hiking trail. 

The space itself was well-maintained, perfectly located, and thoughtfully furnished. 

This was my first Airbnb experience and if they're all like this I'm hooked. "
1570491,25417414,2015-01-15,25396492,Patricia,"Host accommodated us with an early check in, but there were a few things not up to the description.  There was no french press coffee maker, and the Keurig was damaged and didn't work well.  The hot water heater was inadequate for even one medium length shower, and the washer stopped 3 times in 2 different settings.  The dryer squealed loudly during entire cycle.  There were only 3 wine glasses, and no dish soap other than the dishwasher machine soap.  WiFi was spotty and inadequate 90% of the time.  Location was great, but the place needs attention."
1570491,25482496,2015-01-17,4367808,Andrea,"The host was very easy to communicate with and so helpful answering questions we had about the place. The space was beautiful! It was nicely decorated, clean and organized. The best part was how centrally located the apartment is to downtown Austin. We were able to walk almost everywhere - a huge perk!"
1570491,25550489,2015-01-19,13399923,Jonson,"The listing was accurate, the stay was smooth and easy to check in/out.  Location couldn't have been any better, walking distance to anything you could want."
1570491,26354942,2015-02-10,6202906,Blake,Apartment was perfect. Location was very central. Parking lot was easy to get in and out of. 
1570491,26457798,2015-02-13,2104830,Peter,"The apartment is in a great location. The place is just as it looked in the photos. 
"
1570491,26680948,2015-02-17,10776891,Kamalah,"The Argyle Suite was ideally located for the Austin (Half) Marathon.   We were able to walk every where we needed to go, and didn't have to worry about finding (and paying for) parking around downtown Austin.  All of the necessities were available, and Ryan and Thomas were very accommodating. 

The only downside was definitely the noise at night, but that is to be expected with the downtown experience.  Speaking of noise, the dryer was insanely squeaky (imagine nails on chalkboard amplified), so when we did run a load we made sure that we were not there.

Overall, we had a great experience at the Austin Argyle and would definitely consider staying again."
1570491,27389637,2015-03-03,25865962,Alan & Koko,"Everything the host listed was accurate. I never actually communicated in person with the host, however, his associates always returned my calls in a timely manner. "
1570491,27588287,2015-03-08,4579208,David,They are very accommodating and have provided us with the best stay in Austin. Best location in town with just walking distance to everywhere in downtown Austin. Plus they let us store our luggage prior to our late flight which allowed us to explore Austin one more time. Plus the Ram head was such a treat. :)
1570491,28121013,2015-03-18,14129288,Diana,"ryan was a pleasure to work with. we needed a unique and private space for sxsw near the convention center, and the property was perfect.

he kindly fielded requests for date adjustments, additional guests, and a handful of other questions with ease.

definitely a wonderful place to stay during the festival - hope to stay again on another trip to austin!"
1570491,28450981,2015-03-23,1194121,Lana,"Bright, clean, welcoming."
1570491,28892567,2015-03-31,28767040,Emily,I highly recommend staying at The Argle. Ryan and his team (Thomas and Jared) were so amazing. Any time I called to ask a question or had issues they gave us immediate response and were very happy to help us. The location is ideal for anything you could possibly need to be near. It's just down the street from the river trail as well which was really amazing for morning runs. Thanks to Ryan and his team! 
1570491,29251879,2015-04-06,8284361,Sonja,"Great place to stay in Austin, perfect location and Ryan couldn't have given us more information if he tried, very helpful!
Everything was provided as promised.
Would definitely stay here again."
1570491,29934301,2015-04-14,29727846,Zac,This was the perfect location and great accommodation  for our stay. 
1570491,30289831,2015-04-20,12954774,Mei,"I rented 5 apartments from Ryan on Air BnB for a weekend in Austin (getting my MBA at UChicago and we only travel in packs); the Speakeasy, Retro Chic, Argyle, Grant Austin, and the Cosmopolitan. The apartments are well furnished and well kept. 

Ryan and his property manager (Thomas) are extremely accessible and helpful. All of my questions were quickly answered and it was nice that they checked in with us during the weekend, and were extremely flexible on the check in / check out times. 

The only thing (and this is CLEARLY written in the apartment descriptions, so its just something I should have thought about more carefully) is that it sometimes does really stink to sleep on air mattresses, so if you can at all, I'd highly recommend you only bring enough people that there are beds for. "
1570491,30425436,2015-04-21,1904319,Sarah,"Perfect location and worked out great for our groups 1 night stay.  Very stylish apt/loft and walking distance to tons of fun Austin sites.  The information that Ryan and his team gave was very informative and easy to follow.  Also, I still was able to contact someone and talk to a real person! So nice, especially after a long day of bike riding.  I wasn't sure what the parking garage/loading and unloading luggage situation would be like and they were again very understanding and informative on what might be best since we had 2 cars.  Saw there was a pool but unfortunately we didn't have enough time...next time hopefully we can stay longer and enjoy all the amenities.  Thank you!"
1570491,31668924,2015-05-08,32079990,Ashley,Just as pictured! Ryan was very nice and easy to get a hold of. I would stay here again!
1570491,31938667,2015-05-12,1494137,Jesse,"Funky apartment in an incredible location of Austin. My wife and I stayed here with another couple. The two rooms worked great for this arrangement. 

One thing that could improve this place would be adding some more furniture and dishes. The living room felt like it needed more seating and it would have been really nice to have patio furniture on the deck. There were only a few glasses so we'd end up going through them pretty quickly. It'd be nice if there was a bit more in the kitchen.

Otherwise this place was fantastic. Clean, funky, and a great area. "
1570491,32692081,2015-05-20,2782109,Leslie,"Ryan provided me with a lot of useful information about the loft and things to do in the surrounding neighborhood. The loft was comfortable, if a tad snug for 3 people. The location was good, very central, and it was good to have a dedicated parking space since parking downtown is mostly metered. 
"
1570491,35789057,2015-06-22,6075661,Jimmy,Great professional service. Jared answered questions quickly via phone which is great when you're on the road. Thanks yall. 
1570491,38819775,2015-07-19,2116973,Disa,"The location of this apartment is fantastic, very close to walk to almost anything we wanted to do in Austin. It was clean and well decorated and had everything we needed :) the only thing that wasn't perfect was the wifi signal was pretty weak. We also had a mild snafoo with check out time but the host was accommodating and apologetic. Overall we would recommend this place. Comfy beds and a nice apartment! "
1570491,40156353,2015-07-28,910058,Lenny,The place and host was amazing! Just need a better internet connection and the place would be perfect!!! great space and location!
1570491,41465549,2015-08-07,28723538,Marianne,"My colleague and I were set to stay here for a business trip. Unfortunately, I was unable to go at the last minute, but she thoroughly enjoyed her time at The Argyle and said the space was quiet and lovely, and in an excellen location. "
1570491,42588503,2015-08-14,6618204,Ross,Super cool spot in downtown Austin. This place had plenty of room for my group and they all felt very comfortable. Ryan made sure to check in with us throughout our stay which is always great for a host to do. I highly recommend staying at one of Ryan's properties. 
1570491,43099983,2015-08-17,34914319,Irene, We had a great time in Austin. This condo is in the perfect location to spend time in town an easy access for driving other places. It has everything you want   
1570491,44330091,2015-08-25,3502645,Marina,"The check in and access were so streamlined and easy! The pinterest board of suggestions for the area was a great touch.

The home itself is so nice! The place is very comfortable and has all of the amenities you would need. The beds are very comfortable as well with great linens.

The location is PERFECT, it could not have been better for access to downtown. We barely had to use our car.

Thank you for offering such a great place in an awesome location!"

1570491,48218960,2015-09-24,9422244,Ivan,"Great place. Central location, but also quiet. Recommended."
1570491,48548969,2015-09-27,41936297,Brennon,"The suite is located within the heart of the city, which made it easy to find things to do in Austin without paying for expensive cab rides.  The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and the management staff were more than accommodating."
1570491,48757341,2015-09-28,43149941,Rebecca,This suit was amazing!! Very beautifully decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The view of the frost tower was gorgeous and only a 2 block walk from 6th street. Majority of the hotels were booked solid for this particular weekend or they had a minimum 2 night stay. Ryan was very flexible with us since we only wanted it for 1 night and the price was very reasonable for the space and location. We loved it!! I will definitely be recommending this suit to others! Thank you for a wonderful stay!! :)
1570491,49786566,2015-10-06,23639672,Taylor,"Ryan and his place in Austin were great! I had originally booked a different unit of his, and when part of our crew canceled, Ryan was very helpful in working with us to rent a smaller unit and transfer the other to a group of my friends. It could have been a nightmare but since Ryan has several units in the same complex, it was very easy. The unit was clean, super convenient for ACL, and there were tons of shops and restaurants a few steps away. My main complaint would be that the pool doesn't get sun after 1:00 or so, but Ryan can't control that! We didn't have any contact after the booking which was fine. Only recommendation would be to provide check-out instructions, as we weren't sure what was required so we did what we've done in other rentals (take out trash, strip beds, etc.). Overall a great stay and we would rent again! "
1570491,50038172,2015-10-08,12555505,Tyler,"The Spot:  The place was absolutely perfect. It looked exactly as advertised in the photos. It was very clean and stocked with everything we needed. The location is perfect. Easily walkable to Austin's great night life. 

The Host: Ryan's attention to detail was impressive. He was extremely responsive and sent a great welcome guide to the place. He ensured we were well taken care of before and during the stay. 

Overall this was a great experience and I will definitely stay here again when I'm back in Austin. "
1570491,50064448,2015-10-09,19662387,Evan,"Perfect spot, in the middle of everything downtown. The apartment was exactly as described, clean and well maintained. 
We only were able to stay for one night, we could have comfortably stayed for the month!"
1570491,50479751,2015-10-12,43346904,Darren,Ryan was a great host who accommodated our early check in without a problem. This condo is in a perfect location to stay in Austin. I highly recommend Austin and going through Ryan
1570491,51426304,2015-10-20,13735271,Mallory,"We took the Capital Metro bus from the airport to the apartment which was very easy and cheap ($1.75).  I texted Thomas once we arrived and he was super friendly and even carried our overweight luggage up the stairs to the apartment. 
The apartment itself is very nice.  Somewhat older building but decorated beautifully.  Great location - we walked everywhere.
Only negative was the Wifi which never really seemed to work.  Not the end of the world since we were on a girls weekend trip but this could be an issue if you were on business trying to get work done. "
1570491,51762535,2015-10-24,16239547,Julie,"Perfect place to be in Austin!  And such a clean, cute, and comfortable place to rest and refresh!  Even accommodated a one day early change!  Wow...so easy to work with and truly a great place-space!"
4508376,25788629,2015-01-26,3631467,Andrew,"Wow!  What a fantastic experience.  I hosted a large party of 16 people and we rented both the 4br house and the adjacent Airstream trailers.  From the start the owners were polite and accommodating.  They are a local family who owns the property and they have a rum distillery outside of town.  The check-in process was easy and I was given information on all of the units.  The Airstreams were easier than I had expected as they are all fully plumbed and function like an apartment with running water, toilets, coffee makers, etc.  The 4br house has just been remodeled and it was really nice.  The fixtures and trims are all top quality.  The linens and kitchen ware are also in great shape.  We really had no complaint whatsoever about the place.  The only regret is we couldn't stay longer!"
4508376,25999789,2015-02-01,1690474,Andrew,"This must be the most unique airbnb in Austin.  In a perfect location on Congress, you have your own campground replete with airstreams, sitting areas, firepit, and large screen projection tv & video.  Everything was is great shape.  The host was attentive before and during our trip.  I'd recommend this stay for small groups looking for something different and fun, but still wanting to be close to all the great food & entertainment in Austin.  "
4508376,26728364,2015-02-18,6778093,Greg,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4508376,27316131,2015-03-02,10684741,Alyssa,"Where to start with Willis? Willis answered all of our annoying questions, gave us the opportunity to have access to the whole property when the weather got bad, made us dinner reservations, but overall made us feel so welcomed. This property is fantastic. It is right off Congress street. Walking distance to Home Slice, Congress Cafe, great shops and every wall art you have been dying to take a picture in front of. We had 14 woman with us celebrating my bachelorette party. The newly remodeled home was a perfect place to have all of my best friends under one roof. We were really excited to take advantage of the awesome movie theatre and bonfire outside, but it was an unusually cold weekend for Austin. If you have a big group heading south for a party, there is no other place you should stay than the White Hat Oasis. "
4508376,27718716,2015-03-10,1129082,Hamish,I can't think of a better place for a group to stay in Austin. Amazing location near Continental Club and Home Slice; outstanding amenities (including the sheltered movie screening area); comfortable beds; a hip vibe complete with a fire pit. Can't wait to return.
4508376,28784202,2015-03-30,26501247,Joshua,Place couldn't have been better. Willis has an amazing place and is an even better host. He was extremely accommodating and made our trip to Austin memorable.  
4508376,29910420,2015-04-14,14369892,Stephanie,"I booked with Willis after scanning AirBnB fro weeks looking for a cool, comfortable, different place for 12 total people traveling to Austin for a wedding.  Planning the accommodations could have been an absolute nightmare with a different number of people each night, but all wishing to stay close together.  I emailed Willis my concerns and he quickly responded with a solution that worked for everyone.  Saying that Willis was hospitable, friendly, down-to-earth, cool, helpful, and went way above and beyond for our group is a massive understatement! The Airstreams were clean, comfortable, different and unique.  Each one has a different feel to it.  If you are 7 feet tall, you may have some issues in the shower and your feet will hang off a bed, but the experience is awesome.  The location is in the middle of everything – we walked almost everywhere, there are bicycles to rent nearby and there are plenty of uber drivers.  The check-in & checkout process was a breeze, any questions or concerns we had were handled close to immediately…and he distills his own brand of rum. – Stephanie from Tampa
I think the best part of our trip was Will. I have never had a host go so completely out of his way to ensure our comfort. He was beyond amazing in my eyes! – Heather from Tampa

Staying at the Airstream Campground provided the perfect backdrop for exploring Austin. The trailers were stylish, comfortable and functional, providing the perfect state of being from which to discover cool and funky Austin. Please note, if high-end accommodations are what you're looking for, this is not your place. If you're looking for an experience of a lifetime, this could be your place. How often will you stay with your friends in an Airstream trailer in Austin?
Willis, the owner, went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that all our needs were meet. On top of being a super cool dude, he also distills his own delicious rum.  To sum it all up: Great experience for those adventurous souls looking to stay somewhere unique. - Ray from Tampa. 
"
4508376,32495182,2015-05-19,1187088,Paul,"Willis was an amazing host. We were a group of 17 guys (mid 30's) in Austin for a bachelor party. The property was amazing, with a nice house that had 4 bedrooms and 5 airstream trailers, all centrally located and easy walking distance to bars and restaurants, parks, and the river. Willis took good care of us, organizing a keg for the weekend and a pig roast and paella dinner for the whole group. Anytime something came up over the weekend, Willis jumped on it and took care of it (even if it was not a typical host activity, like jumping on his Vespa to go get us a cigar cutter). Willis made us feel at home and every single guy on the trip commented on what a great experience they had at the compound. Would recommend the property to any group in a heartbeat."
4508376,42153516,2015-08-11,2402045,Rahul,Great experience with Miles. We were in town for a bachelor party with a group of 17 people. Very nice property with a very unique Austin feel. Definitely one of my most unique stays. Miles was very accommodating and was always available if we ever needed anything. He was able to get 2 kegs set up at the house before any of our guests arrived.
4508376,43089060,2015-08-17,22086881,Quinn,"Miles went out of his way to make sure all the details for our visit were taken care of. He had several great ideas on food, drink, and other items that made our group's stay absolutely fantastic. Miles lined up and brought bbq and drinks to the house so that all of our guests coming from every corner of the country would be immediately at home."
4508376,49757079,2015-10-06,22766063,Paul,"Miles is the most hospitable and attentive Airbnb host I've ever come across. He made sure we had everything we needed, including extra linens, supplies, beverages, etc. He had great advice on things to do in the area and we had such a great time getting to know him -  such a great personality. The property was by far the most unique and amazing property that I have seen on Airbnb and our guests were extremely impressed when they arrived to events that we hosted. The photos on the listing are accurate and this is truly an oasis just 2 blocks away from the hippest part of South Congress. We can't wait to come back."
4508376,51028397,2015-10-17,2291538,Tim,"This was an incredible experience. The Airstreams were clean and comfortable. Our entire team was stoked on the location, the host and the free kegs of lone Star beer.  It's in the heart of SoCo, one block from the Continental Club, Guerro's and other legendary Austin establishments. Miles was an awesome host. If you can find availability, this is a must stay AirBNB. "
632659,2949945,2012-11-24,983373,Katie,"We did not get to meet Michelle, as she was out of town.  But she was great about keep us informed through texting and messages.  The place is wonderful, I loved the upstairs deck.  Big windows downstairs made it feel very open.  Small but very well stocked kitchen.  We were there for Thanksgiving with the relatives and I was able to make a pie and my dressing at the guest house!  The location was close in with lots of fun places to eat."
632659,3190971,2012-12-30,3871659,Liss,"Our stay at Michelle's guest house was perfect from start to finish. The architecture and design are gorgeous, and we loved all the light from the floor to ceiling windows. It was immaculately clean when we arrived, with organic, fair-trade coffee and scones for us left on the counter (which were delicious!). The working fireplace was great as we were able to make s'mores. The two balcony spaces were awesome, and would be even better when it's a little warmer out. We met Michelle and her two dogs, all of whom are very sweet and welcoming :). The bed and couches are all comfortable. This space is even more beautiful and inviting than it looks online -- we definitely recommend it and we hope to be back soon! "
632659,3410700,2013-01-25,3004777,"Euijin, Nathan And Teo","Michelle's Guest House was just as we expected from the photos, beautiful and well designed. We loved her and her family too, so welcoming and friendly, as well as accommodating and communicative. The house was great - bright, simple, modern, cozy and well equipped. We were also provided with organic coffee and half/half and even mrs. Meyers dish soap!  We really enjoyed the bonus piano. We had great weather (70's)  to enjoy the decks and the hammock in the yard. We also had a chance to light up the fireplace few nights when the temps were as wintery as they should be in January. The neighborhood was great too - so many options - we saw a play a block down at the Vortex and drinks at the Butterfly, checked out art at Flatbed, breakfast tacos two blocks away, and spent a lot of time at in.gredients also close by for playtime for our son and healthy snacks and occasional grocery items. Salty Sow and Eastside Cafe are really close too. We had access to other play areas for our son walking distance and driving to other Austin 'fun' were easy from here - like hiking Barton Creek Greenbelt, Childrens' Museum, or checking out SoCo. The grocery options were good too, Wheatsville coop, Central Market and Whole Foods all within reasonable distances. The dogs, Parker and Ralph, were sweet and made us feel safe in a cool eclectic neighborhood. We stayed for three weeks and look forward to coming back next time in Austin!"
632659,3648154,2013-02-27,2147736,Brian,"I visited with my girlfriend. We didn't plan on having a car our entire trip and wanted to explore East Austin by foot and bike. The location was perfect. We frequently walked over to Manor for breakfast tacos, coffee, and sit-down meals. When we were on bikes it was an easy ride downtown and to East Sixth Street.

The house itself was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. My girlfriend loved the decor. I slept well my entire stay. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the upstairs deck.

We did get to meet Michelle. She is a very kind and welcoming host and made sure to make us feel at home.

Great stay overall and we would come back if we travel to Austin again!"
632659,3688429,2013-03-04,1599995,Brad,"Wonderful, clean, cozy and eclectic house. Hosts were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They even had a couple of delicious muffins waiting for us in the kitchen when we arrived. I will definitely be staying here again next time I'm in town. "
632659,3779039,2013-03-14,4042677,Sean,"I stayed in this house with a work colleague for SXSW Interactive.  This house is a fantastic place to stay.  Its cool, modern, and comfortable.  The owners are gracious and responsive.  And, the hosts provided excellent coffee for us to make in the kitchen. The place is close to downtown (I walked the roughly 2.5 miles, but parking is available). And there is an excellent taco stand two blocks away.  

If I am back in Austin, I will stay here again.  I had a great experience."
632659,3804794,2013-03-17,1577679,Keri,"We loved the house, it was comfortable and lovely.  It was in a great location relative to going out downtown and E. Sixth street, so worked well for our needs.  The dogs are totally cute."
632659,3909247,2013-03-26,450605,Sara,"This house is perfect!!  Me,my husband and two teenage kids had a wonderful experience here. The house is very cool(as in chic!) , clean, and had the perfect amount of amenities. We loved the location as it was out of the immediate density of the city but still within ease of getting to downtown. Michelle also left  great information on local area food and restaurants.  We had never been to Austin and this house made us want to move there! I would stay here again and plan to recommend this to anyone I know going to Austin."
632659,3964477,2013-03-31,5386610,Jorg,"Excellent
So tasteful all the way into the details and super clean.
Fresh coffee and cream on arrival 
House works great bright and quite.
Very convenient location to UT Austin.
would recommend without any reservations. "
632659,4033200,2013-04-04,1789840,Jennifer,Our stay was absolutely perfect – everything from the home decor to the location to the delicious coffee and scones Michelle left for us. It couldn't have been a better experience. We will definitely be back.
632659,4270440,2013-04-23,772644,Joel,"Wow! Michelle's guest house was pretty awesome, everything you could asked for and more. We managed to meet Michelle and John with their busy schedule and they were very accommodating. They even let us used their BBQ grill. Parker and Ralph, their pooches, kept us company when we were home. We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend and looking forward in the future. Thxs Michelle"
632659,4375933,2013-05-01,4845853,Maud,"We were 3 french friends stayed for the Austin Psych Festival.

Our stay at Michelle's Place was Awesome.

Everything was perfect : the guest house is beautiful, very well decorated, clean, so pleasantful large balcony upstair, bed and couch very comfortable...and Michelle brought us coffee and delicious Muffins.

I would definitely recommend staying there!"
632659,4432478,2013-05-05,4591113,Alex,"So perfect. Michelle and John couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. The house is exactly what we were looking for-- best of both worlds between a hotel (clean, amazing decor, even shampoo, body gel + conditioner in the shower) and a house (spacious, kitchen, a yard for our dog, nice neighborhoody location). The mid-century modern furniture is so awesome that I wanted to move in forever. Our puppy was very sorry to leave too-- he had a blast playing with Michelle's dogs. Michelle and John were even so nice as to watch Hektor while we explored Austin's restaurants. We did have a rental car, but the proximity to a strip of cool restaurants on Manor probably means you wouldn't necessarily need a car if you were in town for just a few days. Also very convenient to UT."
632659,4649207,2013-05-18,379985,Kimberly,"We had a great time in Michelle's guest house!  She has done an amazing job decorating, and we had coffee and scones waiting for us when we arrived. Super comfortable and fun to stay here. "
632659,4844670,2013-05-28,6327976,Sarah,"We really couldn't have enjoyed our stay more!  The guest house is just so cool, and Michelle added lots of very appreciated special touches - scones and coffee for breakfast - an extra set of linens for a friend on a couch.  I highly recommend this guest house to anyone! "
632659,4910347,2013-06-01,2317663,Nathan And Jennifer,"What a great experience it was to have spent our wedding anniversary getaway at Michelle's place. I cannot emphasize enough the skill with which she utilizes every inch of the space to maximize the room in the guest house. 
It's so welcoming and well laid out that we wanted to have booked more time there. It truly is a livable space that you can feel right at home in in no time. The upstairs deck was a nice respite in the evenings. 
Michelle was awesome and gave us some great info to use while in town. 
We enjoyed the canine company as we came and went because we always miss our own pups when we travel. 
A truly great experience, would love to do it again next time we're in the ATX.
Thanks Michelle, for all your hard work.
Nathan and Jennifer"
632659,5126644,2013-06-14,871467,Deanna,"This is the perfect place to stay in Austin - it is in a very quiet neighborhood and yet is walking distance to many great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. and still close to UT and downtown.  The house is just like the photos...beautiful!  We had everything we needed for a 2-week stay, and the bed is incredibly comfortable!  Michelle and her husband are wonderful hosts, and very responsive by email and phone.  I couldn't recommend it more!  "
632659,7081560,2013-09-05,2797823,Chelsy,"Michelle's place is absolutely gorgeous. We always felt right at home. She had little treats for us when we arrived; so yummy and thoughtful! The guest house is located behind the main house and is very private. Her dogs were very friendly and made friends with our dogs easily. What I loved most about the guest house is the rooftop patio; it was so nice to enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine outside under the trees. The house is conveniently located on the east side of Austin. It was never more than a $10 car ride to downtown, rainy street, or east side. We will definitely be staying here again! 

Thanks again, Michelle!"
632659,7507242,2013-09-23,2731958,Tabitha,"Michelle's place is a cozy apartment with modern decor. it's a perfect place to stay in Austin. within a 5 minute walk, there are a handful of great places to eat and have coffee. the place is located 10 minuets away from downtown. Inside, the place is sleek and tasteful. it's a beautiful house with an awesome patio. i would definitely rent her place again. "
632659,8224722,2013-10-21,8687131,Paula,"Our stay at Michelle's place was exceptional, felt just like home. We were visiting our freshman daughter for UT Family weekend and couldn't have picked a better place to stay.  It was easy to get to and from the campus, easy access to HEB to restock our daughters dorm, and great restaurants in the area. The kitchen was well equipped which allowed me to make my daughter some good home cooked meals. The place comfortably accommodated my husband and I, my 20 year old son, and even my daughter when she decided to spend one night with us.  Michelle kept in constant communication with us before and during our stay.  And.... My son and daughter LOVED petting and giving snacks to her two friendly dogs.   Definitely staying here for future visits, so comfortable and homey we didn't want to leave. Thanks Michelle "
632659,8409455,2013-10-29,8997634,Meagan,"The house was better than we expected from the photos online!  Michelle and her dogs were very friendly, the house was comfortable and inviting, and it was the perfect space for entertaining a small group of friends.  Another guest posted that this was the perfect fit between a hotel with high quality finishes and feeling like being at home... and I couldn't agree more.  The upstairs bed is so comfortable and the memorabilia throughout the house is interesting and fun.  A huge plus was that it took us about 10 minutes to get to the airport, downtown and basically everything else we were doing while in town! We'll definitely look up the place the next time we are in town. "
632659,8643385,2013-11-10,4167484,Sarah,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Michelle's guest house. The location was great, with lots of food within easy walking distance, and a quick drive (or bus ride, though I didn't try that) to campus for the conference I was attending. Michelle and her family were gracious hosts, and we had fun talking with them. My son is still talking about the fun he had there! I would highly recommend staying at Michelle's guest house, and would stay there myself whenever I find myself in Austin in the future."
632659,8811369,2013-11-19,1610453,Heather,"We loved our stay at the guest house, this was our first time using airbnb and we weren't disappointed! We flew in for the Formula One races and stayed for 4 nights. It was clean, comfy and private. It felt like our own little home away from home. You can tell the home was built with love and care; it inspired us to want to update things in our own home. The dogs were sweet and made us miss our dog back home. We didn't get the chance to meet Michelle since we were out and about often but we did bump into  John and he was very nice. I appreciated the little things in the house: like the sleep sound machine, bath robe, coffee and creamer and the full length mirror in the bedroom closet. 

We loved the restaurants within walking distance and really appreciated the instructions/recommendations that Michelle had printed out. We ate at El Chiloto 3 times and had drinks twice at the Haymaker. We caught the bus 2 of the nights into downtown and took a taxi back (only $13). If we come back to Austin, I'd definitely love to stay here again. 
"
632659,9015234,2013-12-02,1764776,Elizabeth,"We spent Thanksgiving in this wonderful guest house. It was everything we could have imagined and a perfect place to spend the holiday with our family.
We will definitely stay here again when we return to Austin"
632659,9635926,2014-01-04,9227360,Kari,"We, two adults n two boys 11 & 12, stayed here for a week after Christmas.  It was the perfect set up for our family with privacy for the adults upstairs and the kids in the den downstairs.  The guest house is lovely, well outfitted, and as several others have mentioned, very close to great eats.  The yard is very private and I loved that our kids could shoot goals on the net. Nearby is also playground if you are traveling with kiddos who need lots of action even if you have had them hiking or rock climbing all day! Michelle was great about communicating and offering lots of good tips for the area.  We recommend this guest house and would stay there again if we visit Austin again!"
632659,10731613,2014-03-04,9969259,Richard,"FABULOUS place. Beautifully appointed private guest house that we picked because of its proximity to our daughter's new address in Austin. Easy access/check-in and the parking spot is only a few steps from the front door. Hosts could not have been more kind, helpful, or responsive. We will be back and often. (I only hope all these positive reviews don't make it hard to get in!)  With a 50-degree drop in temperatures our first 24 hours in Austin, the fireplace was a wonderful addition to our stay."
632659,11052560,2014-03-18,3568570,Edward,"We REALLY enjoyed our stay at Michelle's guest house. The location was amazing, plenty of food within easy walking distance. We got tacos at El Chilito and sandwiches at Haymaker they were both amazing places. Michelle and her family were great hosts. And, the dogs are super friendly. The house is beautifully decorated (we loved the Sonic Youth and Flaming Lips posters) we would highly recommend staying at Michelle's guest house, and next time we visit Austin, we would definitely try and stay here. THANK YOU! "
632659,11184508,2014-03-24,2100995,Christine,"The guest house is absolutely gorgeous and our stay was incredibly peaceful. From the beautiful windows and light in the morning and the spacious patio, to the comfortable bed and a tv to watch while curled up, this place was just perfect for a getaway. It's close to downtown, a quick drive to the north side, and plenty of eateries are within walking distance. We will definitely be back and can't wait!"
632659,11419927,2014-04-01,10059300,Nate,"What an awesome place in Austin!  The house is decorated in a cool modern style, but feels welcoming and cozy.  The floor to ceiling windows provide lots of light and make the ground floor feel very open.  There is a large patio upstairs with  a fire pit, perfect for sharing a bottle of sparking after a day of exploring Austin.

The kitchen has plenty of cooking tools to prepare a meal.  The bed was very comfortable, and bathroom was stocked with soft towels and toiletries in case you forgot soap/shampoo.

The place is a short walk to some restaurants, and a bike shop where we rented bikes for the day.  We had a great stay in Michelle's guest house."
632659,11534226,2014-04-07,11794949,Andrew,Amazing space. Gracious and kind hosts. Clean and inviting apartment. Safe. I could not have asked for a better experience! I will definitely be back.
632659,11797005,2014-04-15,11567202,Bonnie,"What a fantastic place to stay, and we were very lucky to meet Michelle and get the low down on the supermarkets and local eateries.

The dogs are stars, it is always good to get a welcome from a dog when you get back.

Hoping that I will be able to stay there again next year!

632659,12123340,2014-04-23,2669382,John,"A beautifully designed two-storey house, furnished with attractive and comfy vintage modernist furniture (not IKEA). Big windows let in lots of natural light, and the large rooftop deck gets sunshine all day. It was the perfect spot to get some sun, read and have cocktails. Michelle was very responsive to any thing that needed to be dealt with. Also: the neighbourhood has lots of great restaurants and coffee shops, nearly all worth sampling. We very much enjoyed our 9 days here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a retreat. "
632659,12369495,2014-04-30,12513004,Tom,"We had a great time in Austin staying at Michele's cool guest house.  Modern, quiet and comfortable with an incredible roof top deck that was perfect for our April visit.  It is located in an ""up and coming"" part of town which is a little sketchy in places but we felt wonderfully secure because of the great fence and two wonderful and friendly watchdogs that roam the property.  Michele was great about everything and worked diligently to fix the wireless service that went out our first day.  Incredibly convenient to UT and I35.  We will be staying there again the next time we are in Austin."
632659,12539647,2014-05-05,11492963,Shelley,"Our hosts were welcoming, helpful, and available to answer questions or requests.
The Guest House was as airy and light as I had imagined. My 2 friends and I took turns sleeping on the couch and discovered the beds and couch are all equally comfortable. My friends loved the bamboo groves, and I loved the rooftop deck best of all. The location is great---only 2 blocks from a taco stand and many other restaurants and cafes."
632659,12923913,2014-05-14,13884723,David,"Michelle was extremely accommodating and easy to book with. The house is a tranquil escape close to city center but nicely removed from the bustle with a few good spots for food and coffee walking distance. The smart design, eco friendly architecture and lovely roof deck were all very comfy and made me want to move back to Austin. The two pooches were real sweet too!"
632659,13705321,2014-06-02,8075159,Heather,"This little guesthouse is the perfect cool and airy oasis to retreat to in between adventures in Austin. The bamboo stalks outside the glass windows in the downstairs living room are soothing to look at from the L-shaped couch. Even though we had a busy travel itinerary, we made time to lounge in the house as a key part of our Austin experience. We did not meet our host Michelle but she was a great communicator via email, text and phone from beginning to end. We were hoping for privacy and we got that plus warm hospitality and we knew that if we ever needed anything that Michelle would be available. The welcome packet with instructions and a mini neighborhood guide were so helpful and came with great suggestions—the 24-hour coffeehouse (Bennu) and mini grocery (Wet Whistle) were just minutes away. Michelle also sweetly stocked the kitchen with organic half and half, coffee, and apple scones. Loved everything about the house-the high ceilings, the decor and color palette, the waterfall shower head, the signed album cover art from Michelle's time when she worked in the music industry. We were so inspired by this beautiful house and hope to build something like it in the future. "
632659,14082397,2014-06-11,4797359,Bree,"We had an absolutely lovely week long stay at Michelle's guest house in Cherrywood.  I was away at a training during the days, and it was the perfect sanctuary to come home to.  My husband was working from the guest house while we were there and he loved the studio space.  We both loved the tons of natural light pouring in from the huge windows, the impeccable design, and how nice and cool the AC kept everything even when it was 100 degrees out.  Michelle left us some delicious scones, which was so thoughtful.  The neighborhood is great!  We tried almost all of the spots nearby- El Chilito, Haymaker, Thunderbird Coffee, The Wet Whistle grocery.  We loved her pups, too.  Hope it's available for our next trip to Austin!   "
632659,15623536,2014-07-13,2823429,Lindsay,"We felt truly lucky to get to stay in this gorgeous spot for a month. The guest house is stunning, with beautiful details and absolutely everything we needed to feel at home. The light-filled office was especially great for getting work done during our stay, but every inch of this place has been thoughtfully designed and appointed. And Michelle and John couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We loved the neighborhood and its proximity to everything on Manor Rd.--lots of walkable restaurants and a couple of small groceries. Can't recommend this place highly enough.  "
632659,16443044,2014-07-27,18739899,Nils,"I can't say enough positive things about my girlfriend and my stay at Michelle's incredible guest house. The place is immaculate, and the layout (spacious living/dining room, two upstairs decks, comfortable bedroom, and a downright luxurious waterfall shower) is ideal for anyone on a trip. The fully air-conditioned guest house is its own building, with an entrance that's separate from the main house, so privacy is not an issue. At the same time, Michelle and her husband John are extremely accomodating and couldn't be friendlier. Ditto for poochers Parker and Ralph! 

The neighborhood is just what we were looking for: outside the hustle and bustle of downtown, yet with many places to eat, drink, and shop well within walking distance. 

Overall, I can only hope that all my future Airbnb rentals are as fantastic as this one! 

"
632659,16788620,2014-08-02,9373040,Fran,"This guest house is absolutely gorgeous and tasteful and more than comfortable.  Location is great, you can walk to cafes and restaurants and is central enough to access other neighborhoods.  We had a car so getting around was easy, bike or bus seems to be the next best options.  My favorite spot in the house was the roofdeck in the mornings and evenings and the I really cannot say enough good things about this lovely place.  "
632659,17961509,2014-08-19,13096544,Alex,"This beautiful Place was just awesome.  Very spacious.  Very trendy mid century modern decor. Michelle was super nice with us And very helpful with suggestions.  She  had some tasty scones ready for is in the morning, very sweet. The property had fast wifi, great AC to keep us cool upstairs and downstairs and cel phones worked.  Great neighborhood with  trendy cafés and restaurants really close by. Also very short trip into downtown. I think our uber ride was about $6 into town.  All in all we were very comfortable and felt like we were staying at a very high end boutique hotel.  I highly recomend this space, can't wait to return! Thanks Michelle! "
632659,18894894,2014-09-02,9634068,Pratik,"I really was spoiled by this place, in fact, we just wanted to hunker down and never leave! It had everything you could seriously want. You actually felt like it was your own place and you just moved to a new location. You won't want to go back home because it's not as good as this beautiful place. We loved the open windows and friendly pet company running about (they are so nice and playful!). The patio was beautiful and it even included beautiful amenities in the kitchen and bathrooms too. The pictures speak for themselves and it looks just like you would imagine. It's really heavenly. "
632659,20655763,2014-10-03,20705815,Gustave,"This is a great little guest house in a very central neighborhood of East Austin. The place is very charming and private, with a cool mid-century feel.
There are many cool restaurants within just a few minutes walk which is welcome."
632659,20911645,2014-10-07,423540,Robert,"Awesome house with all the amenities you could want. Michelle was very helpful and answered any questions in a prompt manner. Great neighborhood with great restaurants, bars and coffee houses within walking distance. "
632659,22300584,2014-11-03,21288623,Colby,"House was very nice and comfortable inside.  Michelle had fresh muffins waiting for us when we arrived.  Michelle was also very flexible and kind enough to allow us to check out late since our flight left in the evening.  Fun neighborhood with several cool nearby bars and a grocery store, but area is quite at night.  We would stay here again!  Great experience!"
632659,23340084,2014-11-29,3559025,Marlene,"My husband, Rocco(our dog) and I really enjoyed staying at this home.  The rooftop and fireplace were great!  Michelle and John were great hosts and so accommodating.  Their dogs were fun to be around as well.  We would highly recommend this to others looking for a place to stay in east Austin!  THANK YOU, Michelle, John, and Airbnb."
632659,23579888,2014-12-05,3712086,Leah,"Michelle's place is such a beautiful spot! It's clean and well decorated with lots of pretty natural light and little details that feel like the southwest. We very much enjoyed our short time there, will be back, and will highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!"
632659,24615151,2014-12-31,5263127,K. Stratton,"We loved the house and our hosts (including the dogs) and would highly recommend to anyone. The location is excellent, just on the east side from the UT campus and walk-able to many local eats and drinks."
632659,27677547,2015-03-09,15148384,Lara,"The pictures don't do this place justice, and Michelle takes the extra steps to make you feel welcome (like blueberry muffins from local purveyor Ingredients). This is a fabulous launching pad for anything you'd want to do in Austin, and a welcome respite in the evenings. Hope to stay at this east side gem again in the future!"
632659,28119974,2015-03-18,25689669,Lacy,"Michelle's guest house was fantastic! It was everything we had hoped for during our time in Austin during SxSW - comfortable beds, a relaxing atmosphere, great location to downtown, fantastic neighborhood, wonderful restaurants and her dogs were always there with a warm tail wag too! We will most certainly be back in Austin for SxSW next year, and hope to stay here again!"
632659,28388421,2015-03-23,3289479,Mick,"As first timers in Austin Texas we had the most pleasant first time. John and Michelle are the most lovely, and kind people, probably ever. The house was absolutely beautiful, and the interior/exterior design was completely on point. It was a very comfortable place for us to stay. John and Michelle have exceptional taste. "
632659,28672212,2015-03-28,1340332,Benjamin,"The guesthouse is even better than in photos. Michelle and her husband were excellent hosts - they even spent hours with tech support to fix the wifi that was in bad shape after SXSW. The place is gorgeous, bright, and in an awesome location. The dogs are friendly and we were happy whenever they came out to say hello. Would return in a heartbeat."
632659,28808470,2015-03-30,12511712,Michael,"We had a wonderful stay.  The house is fun and a great location to everything.  It is walking distance to UT and some great restaurants.  The beds are comfortable, and the wifi worked great.   I enjoyed connecting the ipod to the speakers and sitting on the rooftop deck to get some sun.  We will definitely come back."
632659,28983889,2015-04-02,25521813,Clifton Davis,"This place is awesome!  Great lighting, comfortable space, modern mid century vibe stylings, awesome floor plan!  Was totally walking distance to some great restaurants and bars.  The hosts John and Michelle were lovely.  If we had any questions, they texted us right back.  Their dogs were mad cool and did not hinder the stay at all.  
Lovely Austin experience thanks to Michelle and John.  We'll be back..."
632659,29429562,2015-04-07,9969259,Richard,Michelle is a great host and this is a stellar place to stay in Austin! It is a perfect hang-out space and located where you can get to most everything in Austin that matters. This is our 2nd stay here and we will be back as often as we can and as often as this place is available.
632659,29903263,2015-04-14,11567202,Bonnie,"As last year, we were made to feel very welcome on our arrival, and immediately felt at home.  

Even the dogs seemed happy to see us!

Everything is as per description on the site.  The neighbourhood has a really nice feel about it, very safe and quiet.  The house is great, lots of character but still modern, clean and well equiped.

Michelle went beyond the call of duty on a number of issues to help our stay run smoothly.

"
632659,30401452,2015-04-21,29685478,Suzanne,"Wonderful Eastside location with walk to everything convenience. Late evening arrival went smoothly and was happy to see coffee, half and half and muffins! The apartment was clean, modern and stylish... we felt right at home instantly. The outside space was a welcome amenity. We would stay there again!"
632659,30616617,2015-04-25,29456400,Asali,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and it was excellent. This home is beautiful. It was immaculate in the ways that the best hotels can be, but there were lots of wonderful spaces to relax, read and think in. I woke up to a lot of extraordinary bird sounds that made the area seem tropically exotic. While I did not use this space in this way, it would be excellent for a writing retreat, and is located within walking distance of an excellent eating/drinking/coffee district. Additionally, when I first arrived, which was late at night, there were fresh muffins and ground coffee in anticipation of my morning. There were also very clear, excellent instructions for using the place and walking to some of the best eating in Austin. If the dogs are in the yard, they may bark when they hear you entering the gate, but are friendly. By the time I left after two days, I felt like they were keeping an eye out for me. (The owner also asks if you would like the dogs penned or not). I would recommend this house without reservation."
632659,30879584,2015-04-28,12766417,Anna,"Michelle and her husband were the most welcoming Airbnb hosts I've had ~ they live right across the yard, brought us muffins and coffee and were kind and wonderful neighbors. We were visiting friends that live in the area, and we were constantly moving in and out of the house. Michelle assured us not to worry about being too loud or imposing whatsoever, but to make ourselves at home and enjoy the trip! 

The house is beautifully decorated, very clean and exactly what the pictures portray. The neighborhood was safe and quite and very central."
632659,31429652,2015-05-05,7156606,Jeremy,"Michelle and John were fantastic hosts and they were both very welcoming. Organic coffee and muffins were awaiting us when we arrived. They were happy to provide recommendations for restaurants and places of interest. 

The house itself was amazing for both its location and the decor. It was clean, uncluttered and filled with great art and books. The rooftop patio was a great space to enjoy the sun while kicking back. The house location is in a fantastic neighbourhood with great restaurants, pubs, a bakery, butcher and a great food truck all within a 5-10 minute walk. Taking cabs to other parts of the city were quick and painless.

Their dogs were lovely and quite friendly and they were a treat have around.

My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend this listing. We would definitely stay here again next time. "
632659,32528568,2015-05-19,15864345,Vanessa,"We could not have asked for or found a better place to stay in Austin. The guest house was immaculate, bright, and so perfect. Michelle and her husband were incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating in every way. Having such a great place to stay, in an awesome corner of the neighborhood, definitely made our trip amazing. Basically, we never wanted to leave. Cannot recommend this place enough."
632659,33601333,2015-05-30,11066519,Nicholas,Fantastic home and a great location. This was one of the best places I have stayed at using AirBnB. 
296286,834418,2012-01-03,812618,James,"What a wonderful little apartment! It's like having a place of your own in Austin. It looks awesome, comfortable beds, a most impressive collection of sci-fi books. All in all you would have a good time. My girlfriend and I had a great time staying there during New Year's and we are booking with Andi again."
296286,855725,2012-01-10,260455,Daisy,"My BFF and I decided to explore Austin b/c 1.  low airfare and 2. bbq meats! 
This cozy apartment was very convenient to downtown, school campus, Zilker Park, capitol building, etc. because the bus stop is just down a block. What made Andi's place great was that it had a kitchen that I could cook in since we were staying for 4 nights. Pots and pans and utensils were readily available and the bathroom shower ran wonderfully. I hate going to hotels where the water pressure is low. She even had bath towels. Our beds were comfy as we both had our own bedrooms as well. AWESOME! Wireless internet connectivity was superb. Bars, restaurants, food trucks were minutes away. Super cute and affordable stay. Thanks, Andi! "
296286,870758,2012-01-18,381509,Stacy,"We so enjoyed staying at Andi's apartment.  Fantastic location--easy walking distance into downtown, but also has some really awesome spots even closer by.  There was a bit of a hiccup with the electricity when we first arrived, but Andi was very attentive to getting it fixed quickly.  She was the perfect host!  Would gladly stay here again. "
296286,873838,2012-01-20,1607093,Paul,"Great Place, Really charming, sweet little neighbourhood! Would recommend this place to everyone and anyone. "
296286,878262,2012-01-23,1535145,Andrea,"We rented Andi's charming apartment on East 6th for 2 wonderful nights! 

Although I did not meet Andi in person, she was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The apartment itself is very cute, comfy and in a fantastic location. Andi has done a fantastic job putting this apartment together. It is expertly and cleverly decorated and has a very cozy feel. 

 We chose the bold-colored bedroom and the bed was super comfortable.The great pillows, soft / poofy duvet and comfortable mattress made it a little difficult to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning to begin our Austin adventures!

The location of the apartment is absolutely unbeatable. You can easily walk to the bars on 6th street and there a few neat places on East 6th to visit. 

I can't recommend this apartment enough! We will definitely be back!
"
296286,884688,2012-01-26,996731,Jesse,"Andi is a great host, and made everything extremely smooth.  The place is really cute, and the location can't be beat.  Walking distance to great bars, restaurants, shops, food trucks, etc...Bring your own towel, that would be my only word of advice. Other than that, couldn't ask for anything more and would highly recommend this apartment.  "
296286,891242,2012-01-30,1592314,Brenda,"What a great place, very cute, great coffee and so safe and close to downtown.  I live in the country where it is very quiet, so I brought earplugs, but did not really need them.  I would book again!"
296286,905631,2012-02-06,1666589,Rex,"Fantastic little apartment full of goodies and in the best part of the best street in Austin. Andi is relaxed and helpful and such a great host.
Will not stay anywhere else in Austin :)"
296286,978055,2012-03-07,1624651,Sunshine,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights. The apartment was cute, clean, more than spacious for just the two of us, and was in the perfect location for us. From the apartment, it was about a 10 minute walk to the heart of downtown. However, in terms of nightlife, we definitely preferred the East 6th St scene to the one downtown so we loved being able to walk a few blocks in any direction and find some cool, laidback bars to hang out at. Next time we're in Austin, which I hope is soon(!), we'll be booking with Andi again!"
296286,985103,2012-03-10,1690960,Gretchen,"We absolutely loved our stay at Andi's cute, homey apartment and I'd definitely stay again.  The only problem was that we were too busy with our conference to be able to enjoy the neighborhood - clearly an error on our part!!  The apartment is cute and cozy and functional - and the location is great, totally out of the way but also just a few blocks up.    If you stay, you're right around the corner from some slamming breakfast biscuits at Progress coffee.  "
296286,1016106,2012-03-19,1510941,Jai,"We stayed at Andi's place during SXSW this year and it was amazing. Austin has really become a zoo this time of year due to the ever growing popularity of all aspects of this conference and this year the hotels were booked out at least 6 months in advance. 

Andi's apartment was located on 6th Street but east of the highway, which was even better because they had amazing food trucks and it was only a 10 minute walk to the convention centre. 

The place itself was very cool, spacious enough for the 4 of us, very tidy, clean and Andi really went out of her way to make sure we had the things we needed like toilet paper and guides on the local area.

Would definitely stay here again, thanks Andi"
296286,1063612,2012-03-31,1531277,Kelly,"This apartment is super adorable and in a really great location for travelers looking to explore downtown Austin. It is less than a 10 minute walk from downtown and right next to a bus stop! Also, the neighborhood has a lot of really wonderful bars and restaurants right outside your door. I would definitely recommend this apartment to someone looking to be right in the center of it all while in Austin. The only minor problem we ran into was a slight miscommunication about check-out time, so make sure you are clear on that. "
296286,1077182,2012-04-03,1639979,Neil,Great place to stay!  Lots of places to go.  The food trucks were amazing
296286,1102735,2012-04-09,1865867,Shaylyn,"Our stay at Andi's place was great! I stayed there with one other friend and the apartment was plenty spacious and in a great location. There are bus lines nearby, and it was such an easy walk home from the bars at 6th street.  Also a bunch of great restaurants right in the area, and so many food trucks nearby. I'd definitely recommend it!"
296286,1135810,2012-04-16,1775818,Eric,"Great location! Andi's place is conveniently located on 6th street, walking distance from downtown and dozens of bars and restaurants. Thanks Andi!"
296286,1175178,2012-04-24,1793733,Tracy,Wonderful! This little gem is so charming. Andi was a pleasure to work with. Nice location too-- we loved the Buenos Aires cafe down the street and also the Rio Rita. I will be moving to Austin in June and I cannot wait! 
296286,1233149,2012-05-06,1707594,Alexis,"Andi was great! Easy to get in touch with and very helpful. This was my first time using airbnb and I am now a fan! The apartment was in an ecclectic location that allowed for us to walk everywhere. Funky place that is decorated perfectly and kudos to Andi for the tea selection! You are seriously steps away from a great Argentinian cafe caled Buenor Aires Cafe...we had wine and dessert there every night! Also, if you head down 6th street towards downtown, within half a mile you run into Easy Tiger, bakery and beer garden. Really unique and delicious dining experience. I could go on and on but it was really fun exploring the East Side of Austin. We have been to Austin many times but found some new favorites places, not to mention food trucks! 
To recap; stay at Andi's place. Andi is a great host and you will be in for a treat once you arrive! "
296286,1280324,2012-05-14,2284738,Yalda,"Andi's apartment was fantastic.  It has an excellent location on east 6th.  The inside is super cute, clean, and well stocked with everything you need.  I would absolutely stay here again!"
296286,1293053,2012-05-17,1265520,Natalie,"The selling point for this apartment really is the location - we were able to easily walk into downtown Austin, and there are some nice cafes in the area. Sputnik cafe, right below the apartment, was a great place to eat lunch. Finding the location and getting in was hassle-free.

The decorations were nice, the beds very comfortable, and everything was fairly clean and a good size. 

Communication was good, the neighborhood guide was useful, and the effort has clearly been made to make the apartment welcoming."
296286,1304392,2012-05-19,887574,Gayle & Bowl,"I was staying in Austin with my partner and another couple for a week and we all loved our stay in Andi's apartment!
The location is awesome! Right in the heart of E 6th St with food trailers, bars, cafes and restaurants all right on the doorstep! And it's only a short walk or bike ride to downtown. 
The apartment is cute and clean, tastefully decorated and had everything we needed, it's a great space for 2 couples. 
Andi is super friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had.
I would love to stay here again and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends!"
296286,1396806,2012-06-01,2361577,Christina,My boyfriend and I just returned from a 3 day birthday trip to Austin. Andi's apartment was perfect. It was decorated super cute and had anything you could possibly need. The location was amazing! So close to downtown that we could walk and also close to great bars and cafes nearby. We had lunch at Beunos Aires Cafe before leaving and it was delicious. East Side Show Room is also steps away and serve some incredible cocktails. I would definatly return to Andi's apartment next time I head to Austin. I can't recommend it enough.
296286,1433541,2012-06-07,2398286,Bryan,"Great location. Friendly folks. Amazing AC. Best neighborhood in Austin. Andi and Nate went beyond the call of duty during or stay. I highly recommend spending a few days at their truly charming apartment. Also, Nate owns a pedicab company and will rent you bikes. which is the best way to get around Austin!"
296286,1446753,2012-06-09,1276309,George,"Beautiful apartment in great part of Austin. Lot's of great places to eat, drink and listen to music locally.
Only a short walk to the main nightlife areas, the Capital and the museums.
We had a great time and Andi was a friendly and thoughtful host."
296286,1472589,2012-06-13,1648493,Sara,"Andi's apartment was the perfect location for my friend and I to stay in Austin and the air conditioning was much appreciated :-) She left the fridge stocked with yogurt, orange juice, cream cheese, and bagels which we took advantage of every morning.

The apartment itself is adorable and that area of E 6th street has several great restaurants and bars.

I would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Austin."
296286,1516766,2012-06-19,386744,Amanda,The apartment was definitely charming! The decor was very retro and fit right in with the whole Austin vibe. The apartment sits above a burger joint/bar which was great for getting lunch quickly. The apartment had everything we needed and there was lots of space to sprawl out. We were close to down town and could get most anywhere with a short drive. Some late night noise from people leaving bars at closing time. 
296286,1590996,2012-06-29,2586021,Huston,Great location. Right where you want to be on the Eastside. Close to all the bars. Nice place as well. No complaints other than the wifi is a little slow.
296286,1711402,2012-07-15,587934,Lisa,"We loved the spacious little apartment on E. Sixth Street, and will definitely plan to stay there again. The location cannot be beat, and we loved the welcoming feel, from the convenient parking and cool decor to the drinks and snacks available in the kitchen. Andi was quick and responsive in her communication, and made the whole stay very smooth and comfortable. Thanks!"
296286,1737271,2012-07-17,2932920,Maria,Great location and Andi (our host) was very helpful. 
296286,1791911,2012-07-24,1272020,Mary HK,Andi was fantastic and communicative. There was some weird calendar hiccup (not Andi's fault AT ALL but some Airbnb error) so we lost our reservation at her airstream but she made sure to accommodate us in her other apartment that ended up being super cute. It was a logistical shuffle but it worked out and Andi made sure to respond to last-minute questions and checked in to make sure we were settled. We'll be sure to check out her airstream next time. 
296286,1938086,2012-08-10,1898268,Deborah,Stayed here for three nights at the beginning of August.  The apartment is darling and in a great location.  I would stay again!
296286,1991493,2012-08-15,2480471,Mike,A great place in a good location to explore the city and its nightlife.  It makes Austin a walkable city. 
296286,2029124,2012-08-19,1714101,Sara,"Four interns from around the country were flown in for a workshop my company hosted and they ended up staying at Andi's place. They absolutely loved it! It was their first time in Austin and they loved the location since it was in the heart of East 6th and the cute little touches, like the ""Carpe diem"" scripture. They said it was spacious, clean and a perfect spot to explore the city. I would absolutely recommend Andi's place because of her promptness in responses and her ability to accommodate my requests."
296286,2111586,2012-08-27,3043248,Rebekah,The four of us enjoyed our stay at Andi's apartment very much - the location is ideal for a quick walk over to the downtown area and the rooms were very cozy. 
296286,2212874,2012-09-06,1772006,Anna,"This apartment is in a fantastic location- the bus to downtown right across the street. More food trailers, coffee shops and bars to explore nearby than I had time for! I stayed for over a week and the apartment had every thing I needed from a generously stocked fridge to books and emergency toiletries in the bathroom. Andi was very easy to communicate with and it was a stress free experience! "
296286,2304145,2012-09-17,1444064,Alex,"Great location in the heart of the East 6th bar and restaurant district.  Andi was helpful in getting me settled in and easy to contact when I needed her.

The internet was slow when I first got there but she purchased a high-speed plan during my stay and now it is blazing fast."
296286,2377986,2012-09-23,2019097,Mark,"First time in Austin, and had a great time. Were able to walk to nice restaurants and good live music. Andi made restaurant recommendations that we really enjoyed. Comfortable funky apartment that two people can spread out in and enjoy. Great selection of books."
296286,2415933,2012-09-25,323434,Kelly,Andi's place was very convenient to most places we went near downtown and was very cozy - reminded us of NYC.  Loved the decor!  
296286,2450532,2012-09-29,323434,Kelly,Another great stay here!  We love this place.
296286,2506478,2012-10-04,3218735,Kate,"Our Anniversary getaway on the east side was absolutely enhanced by the location of Andi's apartment on E 6th street. The space was cozy, clean and made all the places we wanted go easy to get to. She provided breakfast supplies and was thoughtful enough to include fair trade coffee and organic half and half. Definitely a great place to stay, surrounded by awesome destinations for eating, drinking and site seeing."
296286,2532481,2012-10-07,3598243,Andrea,Andi's right—it is the best location and Austin is absolutely fabulous. Loved it! I can't wait to go back! 
296286,2569838,2012-10-10,2446594,Lynn,"Charming is right! We so enjoyed our trip to Austin and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay than Andi's charming apartment. Well stocked, lovely and very close to everything. We definitely plan on coming back!"
296286,2627482,2012-10-16,2373875,Rachel,"We rented this apartment for our ACL visit. Andi was very hospitable and the location was great, right on East 6th, which seemed like the more low key, alternative part of 6th street .  Visiting from Brooklyn, the neighborhood scene was right up our alley.  The apartment itself met our needs, good space, nicely decorated and clean, however it's a bit more weathered and older than the pictures make it seem. "
296286,2784516,2012-11-02,611768,Gwendolyn,"Andi and her apartment absolutely made our trip! Over the course of our stay, we repeatedly thanked our lucky stars that we were staying there. Andi is a warm, wonderful, attentive host who thinks of every detail: flowers on the table, juice, tea, and snacks, extra linens, and recommendations for her favorite local spots. (Hit them up! We made it to all but one and loved them.) The apartment is absolutely adorable, well-maintained and stocked with everything you'd need, and neat as a pin.  Located in the center of the the action in hip East Austin (my new favorite neighborhood in Austin - you'll have so much fun you won't need to check out other areas), you're right next to a ton of incredible bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and food trucks. Personality oozes from this neighborhood. If you want to be close to downtown, it's a quick walk. We enthusiastically recommend Andi and her place 1,000%!  Can't wait to come back and stay again!"
296286,2843628,2012-11-09,3632641,Laraine,"Great little ""bijou"" place!   Everything you need is a walk away.   Bus stop over the road takes you into town....free ride on Election Day was an unexpected bonus.  Clean, we'll organised and fast Internet. 
A perfect spot for SXSW..

Andi was very helpful and answered any questions immediately.  

"
296286,2925203,2012-11-20,1601181,Michael,"We loved the location and the short walk to town. Andi was kind enough to leave us breakfast items to get our day started. The beds were real comfy and we thought it was a great value, compared to the hotel prices nearby. The place was rather small but was more than sufficient for us to relax. "
296286,3002051,2012-12-01,1624604,Jenna,"This apartment is really a gem. It is extremely cozy and in a perfect location. Andi was really a great host. She was available and responsive when we needed her. 

Unfortunately, we did need her during the visit for a situation with the shower. When we woke up on the first day of our visit the water was not running in the shower. I called Andi, and she came right away. She called the plumber and he was able to come in the afternoon. Andi was apologetic, and actually offered that I use her shower at her own home that morning, which I did. It was a bit awkward to have to go to her house and shower there before a day of business meetings. She also provided a 20% discount for the inconvenience. That evening, the shower was up and running. 

Since the apartment is on E 6th street, it is a bit noisy at night. Overall, it was a nice experience, I especially enjoyed the free wifi. 
"
296286,3217585,2013-01-02,3857294,Michael,"Andi is a great of a host as I think we'll ever find. She kept in great communication and was also incredibly considerate. Her recommendations were spot-on. The apartment itself is very well located and worked out great for us. I'll definitely be looking to the apartment again, next time I'm in Austin. If you're in town, definitely see if any of Andi's listings are available. You won't regret it!"
296286,3332081,2013-01-12,2202669,Geirfinnur,"Andi's apartment was everything I was seeking for. In a walking distance from the city center, with loads of cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood and two nice bedrooms, kitchen/living-room and a bathroom. If I ever get so lucky to visit Austin again I will first check to see if this apartment is available. Thank you Andi for a pleasant stay:)"
296286,3392750,2013-01-22,4400981,Jeanne,"Had a wonderful three day weekend here! Really nice apartment and great location. The only downside is that it is a pretty noisy location...you can hear music from downstairs and bar traffic on weekend nights. Not a big deal, but if you're a light sleeper I recommend earplugs."
296286,3420922,2013-01-27,4522413,Ben,The apartment is very nice and is extremely convenient for people who want to explore the scene in East Austin. I would recommend it!
296286,3439801,2013-01-29,4758118,Kate,Cutest little apartment ever! Had everything we needed and was in the perfect location! I would highly recommend staying here.
296286,3469645,2013-02-04,4390799,Caroline,"Great apartment in a really cool location. I definitely recommend staying here! They happened to be tarring the roof while we were staying there,  but even with the stomping on the roof I still loved this little place :) Andi really makes it feel like home."
296286,3500230,2013-02-08,4871932,Joe,"The apartment is great!  There were three of us staying and it was very comfortable.  The location was excellent with parking.  Easy access to bars/restaurants/w 6th.  Highly recommended!

 "
296286,3554796,2013-02-16,4931345,Amy,"Perfect location for bar hopping and a quick drive to everything else. Spacious, charming, comfortable. Note that you'll have to bring your own shampoo, etc and that the street noise could be a problem for a light sleeper, but this wasn't an issue for us. Overall just what we were looking for. Will definitely stay there on our next trip to Austin!"
296286,3565219,2013-02-18,3324027,Jennifer,"Really cute & adorable place! Andi was a wonderful host & was really sweet/attentive to our needs during our stay. The only hick-up was that the walls/windows were really thin. You could hear everything downstairs and people outside, so I would recommend bringing ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.

Would stay here next time I pass through Austin!

"
296286,3593169,2013-02-20,1624651,Sunshine,"This was our second time staying at this apartment, and it was as excellent of a stay as our previous one. The location is perfect, the bed is comfortable, the apartment is neat and tidy, and Andi was a great, responsive host. We will stay here again during our next visit to Austin!"
296286,3610177,2013-02-26,3238314,Jaime,"The place was just as described. It was clean and easy to get to. I attended a conferences at the convention center, which was within easy walking distance. Andi was responsive and great to work with. I would stay there again. There is a lot of street noise, so I recommend ear plugs if you are a sensitive sleeper."
296286,3682403,2013-03-04,4403551,Sarah,Andi and her husband were really sweet hosts... they were very responsive to any calls or queries we had and other than a cooker issue - everything was exactly as described!  Fun area to be in too :-)
296286,3770592,2013-03-13,3478025,Donna,"This charming little apartment was a good location for SXSW. It's about a 10 minute walk to most sessions and restaurants. Andi was a great hostess and left us with fresh towels, snacks and a list of restaurants in the area to go to. The restaurant below the apartment is quite loud though so if you're a homebody, this may not be the place for you. The beds were quite comfortable!!"
296286,3815037,2013-03-18,4739441,Sarah,Fantastic location for SXSW (or any other time of year) - right in the middle of the action. No doubt unavoidable at this time of year (!) but the bar downstairs could be overly noisy when trying to sleep. Overall very happy though. Andi was very helpful when a small problem arose.... thanks for your help!
296286,3915533,2013-03-27,3882561,Diane,"Andi's apartment was cute and so convenient to the many fun places on 6th St and the entire area. Thanks, Andi, for the great suggestions for eating places in the vicinity. "
296286,3990527,2013-04-01,3389784,Kristin,"As former Austinites, we were so thrilled to find Andi's apartment! I spent all weekend singing its praises to any ATX friends who would listen. It was the perfect home base for checking out the awesome new bars and restaurants on the East Side. The decor is adorable, the beds super comfy... even the cleaning supplies were my favorite (Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day). It's located in the middle of all the 6th Street nightlife, right on top of a bar/restaurant that had shockingly delicious hot dogs we enjoyed on more than one occasion :) Andi was very prompt in responding to any questions I had pre-arrival, and when she found out the apt wasn't stocked with coffee, she immediately brought over a fresh bag with a bottle of wine! How's that for hospitality?! Thanks again for everything, Andi!"
296286,4072514,2013-04-08,4540195,Judy,"If you want to get some sleep then this is perhaps not the place for you as it is on a very noisy street with party goers and bus noises all through the night. If you are young and enjoy the bar scene then maybe this will work for you.  The toilet ran all night and we were concerned about leaving the rental car out in the neighbourhood.  There is no outside light so it was a bit difficult to get the key in the door at night. There is no television or radio. On a positive side, the beds were really comfortable and Andi left some refreshments in the fridge which we really appreciated. The heater was on when we arrived which was very welcoming and the apartment had a nice warmth about it although it is indeed very old.  "
296286,4114780,2013-04-11,2772217,Rochelle,"We had an awesome stay in Andi's truly charming apartment. The space is perfect for two girls like us traveling together, but gives us each a separate room for some privacy at night. The apartment is brightly decorated, feels very warm and inviting. It's leaps and bounds better than a hotel, in my experience. Step outside and there are all the best bars and some great restaurants right outside the door. Do No Miss the White Horse! We loved it. Thanks, Andi!"
296286,4150641,2013-04-14,4403279,Wendolyn,"Andi's place is indeed charming.  It's an adorable 2 bedroom apartment in the middle of a funky neighbor near downtown Austin.  It's proximity to the food trailer park and other eateries was great.  Because it's in a neighborhood with entertainment options, there are passers-by but that didn't bother my son and me.  It's near some major attractions in Austin, and you can jump right on the highway or  easily walk downtown.  We did both.  We enjoyed our stay and recommend Andi's place!"
296286,4267743,2013-04-23,5268191,Jamie,Great little apartment with all the basic amenities. Andi was easy to communicate with and had no problems during my stay. The apartment is conveniently on the street with all the local bars and eateries.
296286,4391873,2013-05-02,5457589,Aidan,"Fantastic little apartment with everything that is required for a short stay. The host, Andi Lipson, went out of her way to help us out with anything that we needed. Highly recommend!"
296286,4501401,2013-05-09,1730099,Louisa,"This place is an absolute gem - awesome location, the apartment itself is super lovely (""genuinely charming"", hoho!), the burgers downstairs were delicious and all Andi's recommendations for bars, food and brunch were spot on. the charming apartment nailed it. it was the perfect apartment for a pretty much perfect holiday."
296286,4638267,2013-05-17,2874876,Tim,"Andi's apartment is small and a little rough around the edges, but is definitely a comfortable place to stay for a few days. The location is GREAT: you're just blocks from food trucks and some of the hottest East Austin hangouts (like Shangri La or Whitehorse), 6th Street and Rainey Street are about 15 minutes away. And Andi is a great hostess, who's extremely responsive to guest questions or issues (we had a window unit break on us, but she had it replaced within 24 hours). All in all, it was a very positive experience!"
296286,4759175,2013-05-24,4292476,Elliott,This is an awesome little apartment in a great location in Austin. Just a block away is a great variety of food vans with delicious food. An easy walk down 6th street gets you right into the city. Andi was very friendly and accommodating and we would happily stay here again!
296286,5079858,2013-06-11,690904,Jordan,"Andi's Charming Apartment was prefect! Located in the heart of great food trailers, bars, and restaurants. Andi had great recommendations to places literally steps aways from this apartment. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Austin, east of downtown!"
296286,5250426,2013-06-20,6795174,Hannibal,"The location truly is perfect. In a mostly quiet neighborhood that is just a few blocks from all the action. Andi was always accessible. Except that the AC was not powerful enough to keep the apartment super cool during the hottest part of the day, the place was awesome."
296286,5346863,2013-06-25,4106309,Shaun,"Had an excellent time at Andi's in Austin. My first thought upon entering the apartment was that ""charming"" was the perfect word to describe the place. The space was more than adequate for > 2 people, and the place was very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Air conditioners in every room also helped, as it got to be around 100 degrees during my stay. Andi was extremely hassle-free to deal with; everything from arrival to departure went very smoothly. The location was also great; right on 6th street with plenty of bars and nightlife within walking distance, all without making for a noisy area. I would definitely request another stay here should a future trip to Austin come about. "
296286,5482421,2013-07-02,3691912,Maria And Anthony,"A well-loved, charming property within walking distance of all the local attractions. Andi had great recommendations and was available to answer any questions. "
296286,5562034,2013-07-06,6714441,Tom,"Recently stayed at Andi's apartment in Austin Texas. Apartment is in a great location, within a 10 minute walk to the centre of Austin, great restaurants, bars and food shacks close by. Apartment was clean and tidy, exactly as listed. Perfect place to stay if your looking to be close to Austin centre without staying bang in the centre. We would stay here again when we go back.

We have no complaints.

Thanks Andi.

296286,5787201,2013-07-16,5482246,Kirsty,Andi's place was great! Nice and clean and in a great location. We will be back next time we visit Austin! 
296286,5967463,2013-07-24,6318816,Jordan,"Had a great time at Andi's place.  Very easy walk to downtown Austin, and super clean.  As a bonus, the neighborhood it was in was quite cool as well.  Would definitely recommend it to anybody heading to Austin!"
296286,6331755,2013-08-08,5066505,Caroline,"This apartment truly IS in the best location, right among the coolest bars and restaurants in Austin. It is adorably decorated, and a good size. Andi was a great host. We only had one small issue with the Internet access, which Andi did everything she could to fix. When she realized it was going to take a couple of days to rectify the problem, she very kindly gave us a refund for a portion of our stay--even though we had a backup Internet connection to use. I would recommend this place to anyone and if I come to Austin again, I'll be coming straight back."
296286,6422705,2013-08-12,6827087,Matthew,"I visited Austin for the first time with a semi-local friend and Andi's apartment was absolutely perfect. Even though it was 105 degrees outside, the apartment actually stayed cool (poor air conditioners!) and we were still able to walk to bars/restaurants in the neighborhood. If/when I return to Austin I'll definitely be giving Andi a call!"
296286,6536066,2013-08-16,6806199,Jeffrey,Andi's apartment was in a great location to experience the East side of Austin and escape the from actual city itself.  I was happy to have a clean kitchen and small refrigerator for nice breakfasts and late night snacks.  I enjoyed the experience very much.
296286,6635742,2013-08-19,1631169,Marc,"Place was really good. Air conditioner worked great with the 100 degrees weather! Location is also great, in a new and upcoming area with lots of bars and restaurants. Really recommend this place"
296286,7036269,2013-09-04,2990761,Daniel,We had an excellent time in Austin. The apartment was perfect and in a great location next to some great bars and food trucks on 6th street. We would definitely stay again.
296286,7235785,2013-09-13,5312862,Peter,"Andi's apartment was perfect. Located in a prime location along 6th, we were only a short walk (or bike ride) from many of the amazing places that Austin had to offer (Flattrack Coffee, Farewell Books, End of an Ear Records, Hoboken Pie). The apartment itself was incredibly comfortable, clean and inviting. Look forward to staying here again the next time we are in Austin. Thanks Andi!"
296286,7361468,2013-09-17,1758028,Benjamin,"Location Location Location! Loved the area the apt is in. Everything really close. The Apt is super nice, the bathroom wasn't that clean but Alexandria helped us with that right away. Thank you very much for everything Alex, best host! Will be back for sure!"
296286,7503051,2013-09-23,6040307,Hector,"Great place, super clean and nice. Such a joy"
296286,7912105,2013-10-08,491958,Tereza,"We absolutely loved Andi's apartment ! We shared it with another couple and used it as our base for ACL Fest which was about a 30 min bike ride away. There were tons of bars and restaurants nearby - notables included Franklin's, Easy Tiger and the food truck ""food court"". 
The apartment was as pictured and a perfect space for 2 couples. It was clean and inviting and had everything we needed.  
Unfortunately we did not meet Andi but she was easy to communicate with via email and she was flexible with checkin times. We would definitely recommend her place to anyone looking for a fun place to stay in Austin!!"
296286,7995963,2013-10-12,6373996,Sharon,"The location was just perfect.  Just a walk away to the main strip on 6th Street.  Food Carts were so close and worth trying.The place was clean and comfortable. The owners were nice enough to have some food in the fridge for snacking. Also for transportation, the bus stop was just outside the door. There isn't a TV but plenty of books to relax and read."
296286,8110717,2013-10-16,6313742,Krisha,Andi was really responsive by text and helpful when there was a minor problem with the bathroom door. The Wi-Fi was QUICK as it gets and the apartment was comfortable. A/C worked great and there was sundries for the morning!
296286,8167835,2013-10-19,5403887,Brian,"Andi's apartment was clean and had more than enough room for a party of two. The location is close walking distance to The White Horse, the East Side King food trailers, and other bars on the East side."
296286,8301145,2013-10-24,9347292,Megan,"This apartment met some of our expectations, and not others.  I think this place would work better for people planning on late nights & looking to take advantage of its proximity to the bars & music venues.  We were in Austin to eat and explore after a long, busy weekend working.  We wanted an apartment where we could relax and were not there for the late-night scene (one of us was pregnant).  As advertised, the location in East Austin was great.  It's in walking distance to downtown, 6th street and really close to some fun food trucks, stores, bars and restaurants.  It was also really easy to get everywhere from there by car.  Inside, the apartment was decorated cute, the linens were clean and Andi was responsive to any emails.  But, it was in an older building, so the property was somewhat rundown.  We slept rather poorly.  The walls were thin and the truck, motorcycle and bus traffic on 6th street was loud all day and sporadically during the night.  Both mattresses were saggy, but the smaller bed was creaky & less comfortable than the one in the blue room.  The smaller bedroom was also louder since it was on a corner with 4 windows.  The apartment is also over top of a restaurant/bar.  "
296286,8425057,2013-10-30,6054664,Una,Great little apartment in a really cool district! LOts of bars and food trucks within walking distance! Apartment is fully airconditioned (which was needed!) and all four of us really enjoyed our stay!
296286,8582256,2013-11-06,5866524,Angela,"Located in East Austin the apartments neighborhood is changing. 
There is a new coffee shop a couple blocks away and some new boutique shops opening. The owners are all young and friendly, willing to talk and refer to you to what the neighborhood has to offer.
You are close to clubs ( including the Whitehorse for music) and several Food truck areas.  It is an easy to walk west on 6th to all the sites, restaurants and clubs Austin is known for. 

The apartment itself is cute but you should be aware it is an older building and the street noise carries. "
296286,8619934,2013-11-08,6779807,Usman,"I had a great stay at Alexandria's place. She was super easy to deal with, and was very accommodating despite my last-second booking. Though I was pretty much only there to sleep, the apartment appeared as advertised and met all of my needs. The location was fantastic from an accessibility standpoint -- walking distance from downtown and with tons of good food options nearby. 

If you're sensitive to outside noise, this may not be the place for you, however I had no issues. "
296286,8726600,2013-11-14,6919981,Windra,Andy's apartment is great and convenience. It is near to downtown. Andy also very cooperative with her guest. Thanks
296286,8811371,2013-11-19,5589322,Ian,"Very nice flat with welcoming touches such as milk bagels etc in the fridge on arrival. Convenient area to park car. Slightly noisy at night but it did not cause us any problems. Easy access to bars, shops, restaurants and coffee shops. Wi-fi satisfactory."
296286,8979480,2013-11-30,9349531,Phoebe,"Great host, fantastic location! Hope to stay again soon."
296286,9125385,2013-12-09,555896,Wesy,"Great location! Very comfortable for a girls weekend.  The home fit our needs perfectly, cozy, place to ourselves and close to a lot of fun stuff.  Thanks Alexandria!"
296286,9218339,2013-12-14,6172577,Dave,"My first AirBnB!  Thanks for a great stay!  The apartment was in a great location, within easy walking distance to the Convention Center and lots of great restaurants and bars.  I enjoyed my stay!"

296286,9758602,2014-01-08,5575736,Zac,"Cool little apartment above a fun bar.  Like other reviewers I noticed a lot of noise, though I used to live in an old house in downtown Portland and it was comparable.  I wasn't bothered by the noise, but you should be aware of it.  The bar isn't too loud, the bartenders were very nice, but you can hear some music coming through though they were good about not going too late while I was there.  Alexandria left towels and a guide for the neighborhood on a door in the kitchen, got to say I love her book choices too!  Overall, it's a great place in an awesome location as long as you don't mind some street noise coming through the windows.  "
296286,9950500,2014-01-21,3563234,Emily,"This apartment was great!  Fun location close to great food trucks, donation yoga studio, and lots of 'off the beaten path' bars and restaurants.  Walls are super thin but the music from downstairs didn't bother us because it turns off at 10pm Sun-Thurs and at 12am on the weekend.  All of Alexandria's recommended restaurants/bars were amazing!  I highly recommend this place!"
296286,10089851,2014-01-30,10100198,Pietro,cozy and smart interior the flat its really pritty and very close to downtown... interestin the area very close of a lot trucks food and interesting country bars
296286,10172497,2014-02-03,11902207,Nicole,The reservation was canceled 36 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
296286,10191156,2014-02-05,9792164,Linda,"Great location, we had a good time eating at all the restaurants and just having fun on 6th Street."
296286,10291917,2014-02-11,5509531,Anna,"Perfect location to 6th Street.  The street that the apartment is on is loud though - there is a lot of car traffic and foot traffic around there but with ear plugs, I didn't have any issues.  Apartment is cozy and super convenient.  Plenty of street parking and it has a parking lot right in front of it.  The key pick up was easy and we were pretty much left undisturbed.  If you're looking to enjoy the nightlife in Austin, this apartment is perfect."
296286,10377748,2014-02-17,9283984,Jun,"Alexandria was so quick and helpful with her communication.  After our flight was delayed a night, she even tried to get a replacement so we wouldn't have to pay for the night.

The apartment was perfect for us--great location and surprisingly quiet even though it's so close to the bars."
296286,10467271,2014-02-20,11562141,Ashley,I definitely recommend this listing to any future Austin travelers! The apartment was adorable and the host even stocked the fridge with some goodies. The location couldn't be any better! I plan on trying to stay here anytime that I'm in Austin!!
296286,10565277,2014-02-25,10654190,Ryan,Nice little apartment in Austin!
296286,10635988,2014-03-01,142065,Esther & Jose,Great comfortable apartment in a fantastic location. Near some great bars and restaurants but peaceful enough to get a good nights sleep. Highly recommended - would stay there again any time!
296286,10680797,2014-03-03,5451834,Amy,"Oh my goodness! My favorite Airbnb find yet! A truly charming place in an unbeatable location. Cute, thoughtful and super clean apartment with everything you could want for a great stay in Austin. Loved all the little thoughtful touches! Very highly recommend this wonderful little corner of an amazing city."
296286,10774537,2014-03-07,328274,Gabriella,"The apartment looked just like the pictures.  Adorable and well decorated.  We couldn't have asked for a better location and having the kitchen stocked with everything we needed was really helpful.  The beds were also extremely comfortable.  We came during a bout of unusually cold weather, and so the bathroom was cold, but the rest of the apartment was very warm and a pleasure to stay in."
296286,11146146,2014-03-23,1603564,Kate,"Alexandria was a wonderful host and her apartment is everything we expected. It's spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and in a great part of town. I would stay here again!"
296286,11259364,2014-03-27,6256500,Anne-Lise,"The apartment was great - the pictures are an accurate reflection and it was a lovely place to stay for a week. It's well equipped, and there was even English breakfast tea in the kitchen, which was a very pleasant surprise! The bar downstairs stays open quite late, so it got a bit noisy late at the weekend, but this wasn't a problem for us.  It was an easy 10-15 min walk to downtown Austin, and there were lots of great places to eat and go out nearby. Alexandria (the host) was easy to get hold of and responded very quickly to all of our questions.  "
296286,11306081,2014-03-29,5076797,Kim,"Such a cute place to stay.  Everything was setup great and Alexandria was super attentive to anything we needed! Couldn't be more happy with our first airbnb experience.  You should definitely check out the places she recommends for you, some really great spots.  This apartment was fantastically located especially if you don't have a car.  You can walk right into downtown or really just hop around east Austin and check out the food trucks and bars. We were so glad we stayed here with all the surrounding things to do! Thanks again"
296286,11392363,2014-04-01,10625305,Christina,"I went to Austin with a friend for a girls' weekend and we could not have been happier with where we stayed!
The apartment truly is in the BEST location - you can walk just about anywhere you want to go in Austin.  You're steps away from great restaurants, bars and food trucks, and if you need to go farther there are bike rentals one block over and a bus pickup right outside the door.  
The apartment's decor was cute and well done, the place was clean, the AC units kept it plenty cool, towels were provided (thanks!) and the coffee in the fridge helped make sure the days started right. The only downside to keep in mind is that because it's above a bar and on a busy bar-laden street, there is a bit of noise in the evenings, however we found that it wasn't more than a pair of earplugs could easily handle.
We wanted for nothing during our stay. Andi really went above and beyond with this place.  I would definitely look to stay here again on my next trip to Austin.  Can't recommend this place enough!
"
296286,11476252,2014-04-04,171438,Alice,"This place was so ""Austin"".  Very interesting neighborhood that is being revitalized.  We loved the Cenote!  Alexandria was helpful and responsive.  And if you were wanting to drink a bit and not worry about driving, then this was easy walking distance to lots of places.  We enjoyed this quirky little apartment!"
296286,11530282,2014-04-07,9963773,Daniel,Nice little apartment in a great location.  The pictures accurately depict the apartment and Alexandria was very helpful and responsive.  This will be my new place to stay when visiting Austin
296286,11643915,2014-04-10,5561610,Vicki,Listing was just as expected and as everyone else previously reviewed.  The apartment is located in the perfect spot and is adorable!  My husband and I enjoyed our stay and were happy with the convenience of the location.  We rented bikes from a place around the corner and were able to see the whole city.  The apartment was clean and neat!
296286,11712742,2014-04-13,12511125,Stephen,"Very nice apartment in a fun location. A little shabby-chic, but clean and very comfortable. Above a bar, but one that closes reasonably early -- 10 during the week and midnight on the weekends, with no live music -- but the street is quite busy, especially on the weekends, so you'll want the windows closed and A/C for air circulation unless you're a heavy sleeper. Great communication from Alexandra, totally easy to find, lots of great restaurants and music options nearby, and convenient to downtown -- I walked everywhere I went. Not ideal for people who want a quiet spot, go to bed quite early, or who need everything just so, but for a very comfortable place in a fun neighborhood in which you can get a sense of how young Austin enjoys its city, this is a great place."
296286,12232669,2014-04-27,461156,Aaron,"I stayed at Alexandria's place above the Sputnik Bar in late April, 2014 while attending a conference downtown. The apartment was an easy 10-minute walk from the convention center, and there was always other foot traffic (tourists and hipsters) moving along E 6th between the downtown core and the area around the apartment. There are some great bars & restaurants in the immediate vicinity, which is a nice bonus. The apartment itself was clean and well-kept, with comfortable bed and couch, and relatively little noise from the street or bar below. Alexandria was great about communicating, and left a nice list of dining suggestions on the chalkboard. This was a nice apartment in a very cool part of town - I would definitely stay here again!"
296286,12327770,2014-04-29,11331093,Annie,The host was helpful and the place was exactly like the pictures.
296286,12425683,2014-05-02,11581210,Rob,"We had a great time in Austin and loved Alexandria's apartment and the neighborhood it was in ! We stayed 3 nights which gave us a chance to try all the local bars and restaurants . Alexandria  was a great host and the place really full filled all our needs too , was a great help having parking and the coffee was the best in Texas ..."
296286,12530385,2014-05-05,11761464,Gwendolyn,"The perfect location for our weekend trip to Austin. Close enough to walk to downtown, but enjoyed the quieter area. Loved all the food trucks in the neighborhood. Apartment was just as described — a little ""shabby chic,"" but full of character. Air conditioners were great to combat both the heat and traffic/ bar noises. Wonderful weekend in the charming apartment! "
296286,12690597,2014-05-08,12132021,Brian,"Apartment was great. Awesome location, really fun, we had a great stay in Austin. We'd definitely look for this apartment again when returning to Austin. "
296286,12877468,2014-05-13,8422153,Liz,"This apartment was absolutely adorable and immediately comfortable! The location, too, really is perfect... we loved being on 6th street, just a short walk from a variety of excellent bars and food trucks. There's ample night life in this neighborhood, but even so we never had an issue with any unruly drunks or late-night noisiness. With the air conditioners running (and oh boy, were we glad to have the air conditioners running) you couldn't hear any street noise at all.

This place was a perfect ""home base"" during our trip-- small, but well laid out and with everything you could need for a short stay. Even with three of us in the apartment, we never felt crowded or uncomfortable in the space-- the bedrooms are each beautiful and peaceful, with lots of nooks for storing your clothes and bags, and the living room offers plenty of seating. We even took up on the back steps a few times to enjoy the gorgeous Austin weather! That said, though, the wall shelves full of old science fiction novels might have been my favorite feature... I had some serious teenage nostalgia goin' on on those shelves.

Andi was an awesomely responsive and accommodating host, and it's clear she puts a lot of effort into maintaining a comfortable, beautiful, convenience apartment for her AirBNB guests. We were lucky to stay there and would do so again in a heartbeat!"
296286,12982465,2014-05-16,8911933,Amanda,This accommodation was awesome! Perfect location and very comfortable. The whole experience was seamless and our trip was genuinely enjoyable. Alexandria has good taste and it shows in the decor of the apartment.
296286,13401210,2014-05-27,3970407,Lizzie,"Alexandria's apartment was exactly what we wanted for our long weekend in Austin. It was cute, perfect for two couples and within walking distance of almost all of the places we had scouted to check out during our stay. We loved it!"
296286,13646916,2014-06-02,11399881,Bianca,"Definitely a more charming location than downtown.  Alexandria was a great hostess. Very responsive and accommodating. If I head back to Austin, I'll hit her up again!"
296286,14011103,2014-06-10,1729768,Amita,Great location!!! Very convenient especially to the famous part of sixth street - also has it's own little neighborhood if you don't feel like going far!!
296286,14341847,2014-06-17,13451431,Randy,"It's a cute apartment in a great location. There are nice restaurants/bars around and a great food truck lot just a block or two away. It also isn't very far from downtown Austin, just a few minutes by car if you're feeling tired, but we walked there a few times also. The bed was comfortable, and Alexandria has a nice chalkboard where she has suggestions where to go. Very good host, very accommodating.  "
296286,14604914,2014-06-23,13901979,James,"Location location location!  Right on 6th, which is littered with amazing food trucks, cocktail bars, dives, comedy, movies and live music.  Great host recommendations (gotta check out the Whitehorse and Easy Tiger).  She was easy going while being communicative.  The bedrooms are spacious enough to sleep two each, or a luxury for alone time during a a tandem road trip.  Great deal."
296286,14973413,2014-06-30,15816141,Ali,"My friend and I wanted a fun, chill, girl's weekend in Austin and that's what we got! Alexandria's place was cute, cozy and in a great location. We were not able to meet her but she was easy to get in touch with and we had no issues. I would definitely recommend her place to others looking for a good time in Austin. "
296286,15136305,2014-07-03,14125268,Lindsey,"Great location! Like the other reviews say a little rough around the edges as it is an old building- but it was decorated super cute. I would maybe recommend bringing an extra fan with you as it gets pretty hot in there. Overall we had a great time!
"
296286,15441110,2014-07-09,11937883,Lewis,"This place was great for what we needed, short walk to downtown, with local trailers nearby, small but comfortable. We were concerned a little about how noisy the place was going to be, but it turned out to be fine. "
296286,15807295,2014-07-15,15386344,Scott,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
296286,16321692,2014-07-25,3427730,Jacob,"Apartment was literally the perfect place to stay in Austin. Close to all of the bars, food trucks, and restaurants of East 6th St (literally just above one of them). In addition, the apartment was charming and comfortable, and had all of the comforts of home for less than the price of an Austin hotel room. One of my top airbnb experiences ever - would definitely recommend!"
296286,16460316,2014-07-28,15140286,Lauren,"Overall experience was great. The apartment is in an excellent location and has off street parking, which was helpful since we rented a car. The apartment is minimal but comfortable and was as advertised. The only complaint is that the living room was difficult to use because there was no couch (more of a twin bed/day bed). The owner was attentive and super responsive. She even brought over extra towels within a few hours. Would definitely stay here again. "
296286,16804677,2014-08-02,18417047,Daniel,This was a great place to stay in Austin... It was exactly as it appeared in the photos and was located very conveniently only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of the main part of 6th street. Alexandria herself was a great hostess who was easy to contact and very helpful! Checking in and out was straightforward... Thanks again for a great stay! 
296286,16982528,2014-08-05,1161102,Benjamin,We were in Austin for the wedding and had a blast. The apartment is a short cab ride to the rest of downtown and walking distance to some amazing food trucks.  Thanks Alexandria.
296286,17126828,2014-08-07,16024302,Dana,"A really great way to have an Austin experience! 
Alexandria has put together an adorable apartment in the best location! 
We were walking distance or biking distance to a lot of cool culture! 
Our host, Alexandria, was easy to get a hold of, and in fact the moment we were looking for towels, she text asking if she could bring some over for us! Cosmic! 
This cozy place looks exactly like the pictures and is even cuter in person! 
There is a small fridge and microwave for your leftovers, and it is super easy to stay in for the night and cook for a couple people! Good job, Alexandria! We will see you again in the future! "
296286,17292150,2014-08-10,17150942,Unghui,객실은 적당한 수준이 었고 약간 더웠으며 전체적으로 깨끗하지며 엔틱을 좋아 하는 사람에겐 강추
296286,17507492,2014-08-13,16762747,Ashley,"My friend and I had a wonderful stay in the Charming Apartment!  It was my friend's first time in Austin and it was wonderful to be so close to everything that we wanted to check out on our vacation!  It was also really nice to have parking available!  Alexandria was helpful with suggestions and was easy to contact.  I would recommend this apartment highly and would definitely stay there again if I'm planning on being in the Austin area.  Staying in this apartment made us feel at home like we were locals and not tourists, it was a great way to check out the awesome city of Austin!"
296286,17658909,2014-08-15,19750238,Jodie,"Charming Apartment really is the best way to describe this home, it's full of charm and a lovely place place the stay. The location is easy walking distance to the  many bars on sixth street with the host recommending a few of her favourites in the area which is always helpful. We would most definitely stay at the apartment again, it's charm and location were big tick items for us."
296286,17943721,2014-08-19,12331781,Sarah Jean,"Cute space with charming touches. Close to some really authentic spots, but a bit of a walk from the downtown core in the summer months."
296286,18149151,2014-08-22,6206423,Alice,The place was super convenient. Two minor issues: the toilet wouldn't stop running and the front door is really challenging to open and potentially a core safety type hazard. Clean and well appointed apartment though. 
296286,18316053,2014-08-25,16616671,Trang,The apartment is in an awesome location- close enough to downtown 6th street and within walking distance of great restaurants and food trucks. We had a bit of trouble with the front door getting stuck a couple times and ultimately had to call Alexandria. She was very responsive and nice and we were able to get immediate assistance. The front door was fixed before we checked out. We had a great first experience in Austin. Thanks again for everything Alexandria! 
296286,18610239,2014-08-28,4668693,Caitlin,"Alexandria was quick to respond to my last minute reservation! Her renovated apartment is very cute and well located. Just east of the main part of 6th street, my boyfriend and I walked to the main drag on our first night. It took only about 10 minutes. The apartment is in a very cool alternative part of the city with some great bars and breakfast places. Alexandria has excellent recommendations listed on the chalkboard. I definitely recommend this place to anyone searching for a place to stay in Austin. "
296286,19075308,2014-09-06,1827089,Sherman,Alexandria was awesome! She hand delivered toilet paper and soap when it ran out almost immediately. Being available to any of our questions and needs was amazing. The apartment was nice! Well cooled and plenty of room for 3 people.
296286,19237491,2014-09-08,4911781,Kallye,We had a great stay! It was a perfect location and we had everything we needed! Thanks so much for having us!! 
296286,19395279,2014-09-11,20417448,Sara,"First of all, the apartment is really cute decorated and it has everything you need (coffee, tea, pots, cups, etc). It really looks like in the pictures. My husband and I did visit Austin for 2 days and stayed at the apartment. Unfortunately, the house is, as mentioned in the description, really old and run down. The roof is undulated from possible water damage. The window air-conditioning unit allows to hear street noises etc. The apartment is a comfortable 10min-walk from the beginning of 6th street where the bars/restaurants start. Since the neighbourhood is on east 6th street it doesn't appear like the safest to walk through. We would recommend taking a bicycle-taxi or cab. All in all, we enjoyed the stay very much and were lucky to find this place to stay at. All other hotels were extremely expensive in comparison. If you go, please visit ""Easy Tiger"" and have fun ;-)"
296286,19516905,2014-09-14,17285460,Carly,"Great location, great apartment! We loved how accessible it was to everything we wanted to see in Austin. Not to far at all from the Capital building, a short cab ride Barton Springs, and walking distance to 6th and Rainey Street. Strongly recommend this location! The pictures were spot-on and there was no surprises at all upon arrival. "
296286,19736012,2014-09-17,11711009,Ryan,"Stayed for 3 nights and 2 days, the apartment is just charming as it appears in the photos. Great suggestions left on the blackboard, and the location of the apartment is amazing! Lots of great bars and amazing food trucks within 5 - 10 minute walking distance. Would definitely recommend staying here to anyone I knew going to Austin."
296286,20002427,2014-09-22,7861216,Michelle,My partner and I had a great time in this apartment. I love the furnishings and it's close to everything we wanted to see in Austin. Communication between us and the host was friendly and prompt. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and we were sad to leave. 
296286,20405277,2014-09-29,12631455,Taryn,Great location :) and very cute place! Wish we were able to stay for longer! 
296286,20657042,2014-10-03,16868066,Ashley,"The apartment was so adorable and was the perfect location for the attractions that my bestie and I went to. The beds were super comfortable! Even though the apartment is above the Sputnik, you never heard any noise or encountered any smells. If you are looking for a cool place to stay in East Austin, I highly recommend this place! Especially if you are hitting the White Horse! Will definitely be staying again. "
296286,21119481,2014-10-12,14862134,Hannah,We stayed 3 nights for ACL and had an awesome experience! It is such a cute apartment in an awesome location! Much better than staying in a hotel!
296286,21486684,2014-10-18,8605635,Chris,"Hello:
Alexandria was very easy and delightful to rent from. Easy communication as well.

We rented the space on a Thursday and Friday night - the nights were quiet but the mornings were pretty loud from the street noise below the apartment. If you're a 'lite' sleeper and you want to sleep in, you may find it too loud. (-1/2 star)

The apartment includes two rooms with a bed in each - as a tall person (6'3""), I found that they were a little short. The bed in the listing was not the bed in the apartment at the time we rented... so my feet could not hang off the bed - is the point! (-1 star)

The apartment has everything you need for a quick trip in Austin. It is very near downtown and many other restaurants and bars.

All in all - it was a positive trip and we enjoyed the space. Thank you.

"
296286,21649737,2014-10-21,469995,Jennifer,This was such a charming apartment to stay in. My friend and I had a great time and enjoyed how central it was to everything we wanted to see & do. There were lots of food and drink options close by and even bicycle rentals across the street. It was great having a nice air conditioned place to come back to after a long day of activities in the Texas heat. Alexandria was always available via text or email and was super accommodating. I would highly recommend this space to anyone.
296286,22095295,2014-10-30,14533510,Ann-Marie,We just Love this apt.. Bohemian style and surrondings.. Walkingdistance to many places and a bus  right outside. Free parkingspot and so friendly people. This has been perfect for us.. Thankyou..
296286,22287360,2014-11-03,11266607,Paul,"We had an amazing time in Austin, it is an amazing city. The apartment location is fantastic, however for the cost of the apartment, which was the most expensive in our stay including Manhattan and San Fran I would have expected more. The apartment is grubby and in need of a serious spring clean, the bathroom sink was blocked and despite informing our host she failed to respond. I would stay in Austin again and use the apartment again, but only if it was fixed up and cleaned."
296286,22574904,2014-11-10,3282673,Jess,"What a fantastic apartment!  Super close to downtown and some great bars/eateries nearby in East Austin.  We stayed at Alexandria's apartment for four nights and would definitely come back - the cute vintage-y decor is fabulous and the kitchen was a wonderful amenity too.

As other reviewers have stated, it can get a little noisy at night (especially at weekends) but totally bearable.  

Alexandria was also incredibly helpful with advice and suggestions both before and during our stay.  Thank you!"
296286,22721814,2014-11-12,23383540,Tracy,Loved the apartment! Charming is the best description. Alexandria was an excellent host bringing coffee to us and space heaters! Would definitely stay here again! We were able to walk to restaurants and bars....perfect time spent in Austin.
296286,22790349,2014-11-15,1246909,Eavan,"Alexandria was very clear and helpful in all our correspondence. I stayed in Austin during a freak cold snap, and she was extremely attentive--letting me know the minute the room was free for me, and dropping off extra heaters while I was out. 
The apartment was a great size for the two of us and the location is perfect for 6th st shenanigans and really terrific food on the east side. However, I wish it had known how loud it would be. The rooms are right on a busy street, and with the air conditioners bolted into the window frames you can't even close the window to block the noise. It's possible that the ac might drown out some of the street noise if you had it on, but at freezing temps outside that wasn't an option for us. "
296286,23009234,2014-11-20,9039865,Mark,"Alexandria is very responsive and shares tips for making the most of your trip. Great book collection, if you are into that kind of thing too :) The memory foam mattress is a bonus.

Ideal location for nightlife and delicious restaurants (East Side King!!). The apartment isn't fancy, but is a perfect home base for enjoying your time in Austin."
296286,23422527,2014-12-01,2279771,Gemma,"We had such a wonderful experience. Alexandria was contactable and available when we needed. She left great instructions and had a wonderful home. Great location and everything you need to enjoy your trip in Austin. Wouldn't think twice about staying here again. Just note that it's very noisy during the night - if you're a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs. However it didn't stop us having a great night sleep. This was probably our best experience, as we loved the area. "
296286,23621435,2014-12-07,11957012,Jessica,"Alexandria's apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. Located on 6th street, it was walking distance to the bars and food trucks along 6th. Alexandria had the heaters going on our arrival and even dropped off some spare supplies which was very kind. Everything was comfortable and even though there was a little noise coming from the bar below, it was nothing we couldn't handle. This apartment is ideal for anyone wanting to really immerse themselves in Austin's vibrant culture. "
296286,23838840,2014-12-12,4554323,Diane,"Alexandria was quick to respond when I booked the reservation and was easy to communicate with from that moment. The apartment is exactly what is shown in the pictures. She doesn't lie - it's very charming indeed. The location is also fantastic, right in the heart of an up and coming area in Austin and a quick walk from downtown. Id recommend this place to anyone traveling through!"
296286,23998976,2014-12-16,10416876,Hayley,"We had a good experience with our stay. The location was excellent, as described. The place was cute and a nice size. Just like everyone else (and the host) said, the door was sticky. There was a bit of occasional street noise at night but nothing that prevented decent sleep. "
296286,24176149,2014-12-22,21799867,Ryan,Fantastic little apartment close to everything with everything you need. A short walk to E 6th and one block from a rent-a-bicycle station makes this the perfect location. We had a great stay and Alexandria is a fabulous host. She made some really good recommendations. Thanks so much. 
296286,25191428,2015-01-08,25672822,Alia,Alexandria had the apartment ready on very short notice. It was clean and confortable. It's a very sweet little place with lots of books - a really nice spot to relax in after a long day.
296286,25311267,2015-01-12,23600725,Megan,"Myself, my fiancée and my sister (all mid-twenties) stayed here for 4 days in January. The apartment had everything we needed for a short stay and was a great location for us, on the busy 6th street, plenty of 'hole -in-the-wall' type places to find around East 6th, and further up on 6th , in the main stretch, there's many more restaurants and night spots. We walked most places, but also easy access to buses, which we used to get up to Manor where's there's even more variety (you could walk but it was January and pretty cold!)
Alexandria was very helpful, although we didn't end up meeting, she was easy to reach via email, and also left some suggestions of local spots to try, of which we went to a couple and were impressed :) 
From the apartment, expect 'rustic' charm, as noted in the description: cute and vintage, nicely decorated, not polished 'hotel decor'.
The bedroom windows are above 6th street which can be loud at night but we got used to it, bring earplugs if your a light sleeper.
Overall, we would recommend; it's like the neighbourhood and Austin in general, first impression is it's a bit rough around the edges, but if you give it a chance very interesting and enjoyable :) "
296286,25539768,2015-01-19,1958590,Sam&Freya,"Alexandria was a great host to my friends.  I was unable to come in the end, but Alexandria was kind enough to still allow my friends to stay. They had a lovely time, so thank you."
296286,25893054,2015-01-28,18769805,Jeremy,"Cute, welcoming feel in the apartment. Everything set up and ready just right. Place mirrors east 6th St, not much at first glance but a great atmosphere and great spot. "
296286,25992920,2015-02-01,9805477,Emily,We had a great time at this cute apartment! Everything was exactly as described and Alexandria was very responsive to our questions. The apartment is super convenient to downtown Austin and was a great spot to rest our heads after long days of eating BBQ and tacos :-)
296286,26104812,2015-02-03,11711009,Ryan,"Alexandria made the check in very easy, it was really a great experience staying here. This is the second time we have stayed at Alexandria's place and we love just as much as the first time. The place is comfortable and exactly as described and the location couldn't be better. It is within minutes of lots of great bars and food trucks!"
296286,26158015,2015-02-05,25796141,Teresa,"The apartment was very cute and cozy. The beds were comfortable, and the location was very convenient to downtown. The day bed in the living area was a bit small for a regular adult to sleep on, but overall, it was a fun place to stay in East Austin."
296286,26455009,2015-02-13,24836978,Abbie,"Very cozy and homey place!  This apartment worked out well for a mother-daughter trip--great to have our own bedrooms and some space to settle in.  It's an easy walk from Downtown, but there are also tons of bars, cafes and food trucks in the immediate vicinity.  The East Austin neighborhood is certainly a little ""rough around the edges"" but it's hip, interesting and the neighbors we spoke to were super friendly.  Alexandria made the whole process easy, even when dealing with travel delays and cancelled flights.  

All the important amenities were totally covered: comfy beds, hot shower, fast wifi.  

The kitchen is a little bare-bones, but good enough for making coffee in the morning and keeping snacks.  The bedrooms also get a fair amount of street noise, so the jar of earplugs was a big help!"
296286,26585197,2015-02-16,22277861,Leah,"This two bedroom apartment is steps away from food trucks, restaurants, and bars at the funky East 6th area. Alexandria had everything arranged, so our whole stay was super easy. The apartment was clean and thoughtfully stocked with helpful literature on Austin sites, her recommendations, and fixings for tea."
296286,26735900,2015-02-18,25191859,Danielle,Alexandria had made check in easy! Place was so cute and great location! Great size for 4 people. Would highly recommend this place!
296286,27042367,2015-02-24,13593603,Judith,I stayed at at the apartment for one week at the end of February 2015. It is conveniently located at the East End of 6th Street close enough to the centre and to a great trailer restaurant area and other restaurants. Alexandria was very accomodating and made the check-in and check-out process easy. The apartment is indeed charming with a rustic edge to it. The area is noisy and ear plugs for the night are a must. Sadly during the time I stayed the weather turned to freezing for several days and although the apartment is facilitated with heaters I had trouble keeping it warm as it is rather drafty. I would recomment the aparmtnemnt to others but would not stay there again during the winter. 
296286,27162114,2015-02-27,25710443,Chris,"Alexandria's place on E 6th is a great location. Good bar beneath you that doesn't make any audible noise from the apartment that I heard. The host was really helpful with her communications, and let us know as soon as it was ready. Great fun!"
296286,27315958,2015-03-02,15425305,Margaret,"We had a wonderful weekend at the Charming Cottage. Alexandria was an excellent host and was available to answers any questions we had. The location is absolutely perfect and walking distance to many restaurants, shopping and live music. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to visiting again. "
296286,27437105,2015-03-04,27433911,Guan,"It was a nice charming place. Great location, great books.

Host is an awesome nerd with great sci fi taste"
296286,27579114,2015-03-08,4938901,Kevin,"This charming apartment was exactly as described and included all of the comforts of home. Though, the shower is only a single standup stall, which can be cramped but it's only a minor flaw. 

If you are unfamiliar with Austin, you will love the fantastic location in an up and coming area of East Austin. There are many excellent food trucks, restaurants, bars, and a coffee house within a 2 block radius. This neighborhood offers a welcome respite from downtown, while still remaining within relative walking distance (or a short uber) of downtown bars if that's your scene."
296286,27760897,2015-03-11,26417446,George,The host was great and communicated all necessary details clearly. Neighborhood was very hip and fun with lots of good bars in the area. The apartment itself was great.
296286,27986911,2015-03-16,5169085,Markus,"Very nice and charming apartment in a great and authentic neighborhood and only a short walk away from convention center. Alexandria was a perfect host, helpful and supportive, we intend to return next year for sxsw."
296286,28589837,2015-03-26,1471066,AKeiba,"The place was close to downtown, and it was easy to grab a Lyft/Uber if you want more after you've explored he cool neighborhood spots (Takoba is my fave).

Quaint & quirky space as described, thankful for the window AC units to circulate the air! We never met but I had all I needed at the apt. The door can be tricky but it's just part of the charm ;-)"
296286,28693904,2015-03-29,22364525,Debbie,"The best part about this apartment was the location - close to everything.  Alexandria was available whenever via text whenever we had questions.  Beds were comfortable - plenty of linens.  Even though the shower was small, the water temperature and pressure was great. "
296286,29160498,2015-04-05,25715877,Shana,"Great apartment! Really clean, super comfortable beds and a great location for walking to dinner and bars on 6th street. The apartment had everything we needed including coffee, hair dryer, shampoo and towels. 

The apartment can be a little noisy since its right on the street, but its nothing you can't sleep through. Overall cosy apartment and a great location. "
296286,29443849,2015-04-07,5134174,Andrea,"Alexandria was very kind and accommodating during our stay. We texted her a few times with questions and she always responded promptly. We tried some of her recommendations and we played the her Spanish Scrabble game one night, very challenging! I forgot my sweater at the apartment and Alexandria has been kind enough to organize a way for me to pick it up before I leave Austin. 

The apartment was clean and looked just like the pictures. Like many others have said, the bar below really isn't that loud, although people on the street can be at times. Earplugs helped. It was also easy for us to walk to W. 6th and various other districts of downtown."
296286,29542655,2015-04-09,24970453,Adrienne,"We did not meet our host, but she was very helpful via email. The apartment was in a great location, close to great bars and restaurants. The only time it was a little noisy was early in the morning when the traffic on E. 6th Street was heavy. 
The air conditioning worked very well and the apartment was clean and well equipped. The shower pressure was great although the drain and faucets could do with some repair. 
Alexandria gave us great recommendations for restaurants and bars. It is a 15 minute walk downtown to 6th Street.
I would definitely stay here again. For the price it's definitely worth it. If you like a slightly funky, artsy neighborhood and accommodation, this is the place for you."
296286,30011907,2015-04-16,20193624,Jani,Charming apartment in a fantastic location.
296286,30127287,2015-04-18,9963773,Daniel,Great apartment in a great location.  Plenty of walking destinations.  This was our second stay and will look to book again next time in Austin.
296286,30439200,2015-04-22,8189655,Jody,"Apartment was perfectly located and well appointed with loads of charm. We loved our stay here and appreciated how organised Alexandria was. Excellent host, excellent stay! "
296286,31040539,2015-05-01,28717665,Anthony,"Great little apartment with a killer location, close enough to downtown and Rainey street without having to deal with the crows on the main part of East 6th. The space was cozy and clean with a kitchenette that had essentials like coffee and tea. I would definitely rent the space again the next time I'm in Austin."
296286,31868963,2015-05-11,5665925,Lauren,"What a perfectly placed retreat for a long weekend celebrating music and food in Austin! My cousin and I were impressed with the comfy beds, cute linens and clean towels folded in our rooms when we arrived. Each evening we drew the blinds, kept the A/C on and found a quiet moment for early evening naps (a rare treat for two girls who work 60+ hour weeks!). The parking lot made it convenient to have a rental car, but we probably didn't even need one. We could've done fine with a proper bike rental and our own two feet! I shall forever think of this Charming Apartment as good-nap, good-food, good-music central! Hope to be back again next year!"
296286,32058347,2015-05-13,4710217,Ann,Alexandria's apartment was the perfect location for our trip to Austin. We ended up walking everywhere we wanted to go and especially loved the East Austin area. Alexandria was easy to communicate with and she even arranged for us to drop off our bags at the apartment before the check-in time since we arrived in Austin earlier in the day. I definitely recommend Alexandria's apartment to anyone who wants to explore Austin! 
296286,32796858,2015-05-21,3359027,Demian,"Everything was perfect. If wouldn't have been on a schedule, we would have extended our stay for sure."
296286,33062020,2015-05-25,25114262,Alex,"Alexandria's apartment is super charming. She made us feel welcome by leaving the a/c on for us, providing us linens, and giving us great neighborhood recommendations. Apart from the charming-ness of the apartment, the best part is the location -- right in the middle of everything happening on 6th street. "
296286,33787748,2015-06-01,22519130,Nicole,"This apartment was the cutest!  Two friends and myself took a trip to Austin just to explore and this apartment was the perfect place to stay.  It's located on the eastern side of 6th street - with tons to explore close to the apartment.  The B-Cycle bike share is literally a block walk away and right in front of an awesome food truck trailer park (great for late night snacking).  Everything was as close as a 10-15 minute bike ride away (if that) which we loved - made us feel adventurous:-).

Alexandria was the perfect host - the apartment is so charming and she even painted one of the walls with chalkboard paint listing out local spots to check out (brunch, drinks, dancing, etc).

If I come back to Austin (which I definitely need to - awesome city!) I would definitely consider staying here again:-)"
296286,34623101,2015-06-10,28415441,Matthew,"We really enjoyed our week here. The apartment is just right for exploring East Austin, as well as downtown, and the look and feel of the place is in keeping with the cool neighbourhood. Alexandria provided all of the information needed up front and we experienced no issues whilst staying there.  "
296286,34982556,2015-06-14,31870542,Mark,"This studio was full of character, clean, and located in a really cool part of Austin that is walking distance from a ton of cool bars, restaurants and not far from downtown. Alexandria was an awesome host, she even dropped off a few household supplies when she learned we were low. Definitely recommend this place to anyone seeking an authentic east side Austin experience!"
296286,35914695,2015-06-23,21588880,Jack,Great place great location and our host was lovely the one time we needed her.
296286,36186074,2015-06-26,32259161,Louise,Great apartment!! Amazing location we really enjoyed our stay  
296286,36511785,2015-06-29,28730311,Troy,Our stay at Alexandrias house was great! Had great Austin flavor! The location was great if you like to be just out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to reach everything you need! Alexandria left recommendations on the board of things to do and see and all of them were amazing! 
296286,37551219,2015-07-08,20609951,Suzanne,"The location, and the ambiance were great. The apartment was super quaint and cozy. It truly was a ""charming apartment""

Wonderful chalk board with suggestions of places to go.

Would definitely stay there again!

Suzi"
296286,38827536,2015-07-19,30878080,Nicole,"The best thing about the apartment is the location (AMAZING!) - made for a wonderful trip in Austin. The little amenities were lovely (towels, wash cloths, sheets, hangers, etc) and quite helpful. The apartment met our needs for the weekend trip  However, it was more ""rough around the edges"" than expected."
296286,39383957,2015-07-23,10662647,Jennifer,"Listing was accurate, and we loved the location. We were able to walk to many great bars and neighborhood restaurants. The host had a list of her favorite locals spots and we made sure to check them out. Austin traffic is really horrible, and this apartment is in a perfect location where you can easily access all that the city has to offer!"
296286,39756994,2015-07-26,952292,Andy,Alexandria's apartment was great for our 3 night stay. The location is super convenient to lots of restaurants and bars on the east side. Recommended if you're looking for a simple & comfortable spot on that side of town.
296286,40452836,2015-07-31,34996955,Kevin,"The previous reviews are quite disingenuous in terms of the accuracy of this listing. To begin with, during the summer at least, this unit has three in-window air conditioning units (one in each bedroom and one in the living room) that are loud and do not do an adequate job of cooling the apartment down. It's difficult to sleep with the AC unit on because of the noise and it's difficult to sleep with it turned down because of the heat as well as the noise. None of these AC units are in the photos.

There's not a blue couch or brown coffee table in the living room, instead there's a small day bed that's awkward to use, track lighting in the living room but only one of the five lightbulbs worked, there are knives in a knife block but half of them were unusable due to the handle being broken, the honey and nut granola glass container was empty, the shower head is extremely low and will be difficult for any tall person (like 5'10"" or taller at least) to shower, a sizable part of the ceiling in the living room is hanging down, the lighting in at least one of the rooms is inaccurately depicted in the photos (reading lamps instead of room lamps), the curtains and rugs are not all the same, the smoke detector had tape over its sensor (I believe), there's no small stove/oven unit in the corner of the kitchen area, instead there's just a two burner hot plate, and there are extension cords which could trip you if you used the wrong side of the bed. 

I've been in a half-dozen or so Airbnb's via my wife's account, and this is easily the worst experience I've had which is pretty disappointing as I've always felt the listings and reviews were accurate. It's baffling how the previous reviews were written. It's unfortunate that reviews can't include photos because the disparity would be readily apparent.

All that said, the location is good. You can walk downtown in 10-15 minutes and there are a variety of fun restaurants and bars nearby. The shelves have a ton of books in them (although I only saw scrabble and some trivial pursuit cards for games, another listing inaccuracy) and the art on the walls was enjoyable."
296286,40756333,2015-08-02,2065518,Sean,"Wonderful, kitschy, Austin-y  setting in the heart of East 6th street. Just a short walk to the fun and craziness at W 6th! And just a short bike ride/car ride/uber to any of the amazing outdoor fun that Austin is known for. My friend and I really enjoyed our stay, and found the accommodations perfect for the price! Highly recommended."
296286,41288121,2015-08-05,40146716,Matt,"Great place.  This was my first airbnb stay, and I had a great experience.  The location was key for me as I had a conference downtown.  You have to park on a dirt parking lot, and you walk up old wooden stairs to get to the place, but if you are up for an adventure, I would completely recommend it.

Alexandria was great.  We had a window cooler go out and she had it replaced the very next day!  It is obvious she wants to provide great service."
296286,41740917,2015-08-09,32154971,Kelly,"Great location, great experience, and great price for it all. Highly recommend!"
296286,44102780,2015-08-24,31693277,Angeline,"We stayed here in August 2015.Our trip in Austin was fantastic but unfortunately our stay was not as pleasant. 

For starters, the bed in the master bedroom completely collapsed the first day when we sat on it. Alexandria was out of town that day but told us she'd be there first thing in the morning to replace the bed. She suggested we put the mattress on the floor and sleep on that. Though not ideal, we agreed to do that. We noticed cockroaches running around the apartment and nobody wanted to sleep on a mattress on the floor, so two of us squeezed into the tiny twin daybed and slept very uncomfortably. It wasn't until 5 pm the following day (after a reminder phone call to her) that she showed up with a bed. In addition to the broken bed, only 1 of the 5 track lights in the living room worked making it very difficult to see at night, the place was dirty, and there is no oven or stove as listed, but rather a hot plate and toaster oven. The wifi did not work for us either. When Alex came to replace the bed, we kindly asked her to speak with us about coming up with a fair solution (reimbursement) of some sort being that our first night was extremely uncomfortable for those of us having to share a twin bed. She told us she would think about it and be right back with an iron (another amenity that wasn't in the apartment when we arrived). Hours passed and she never came back and failed to return our calls and texts for the remainder of our stay. We were surprised by the lack of respect and courtesy from Alex. After contacting airbnb about our issues and providing proof with pictures, we were offered a refund.

Overall, the apartment looked totally different from the pictures posted on the ad. There is no blue couch in the living room, the lighting in the apartment is terrible, and the place was just dirty. The only real positive to this apartment was the location and it's close proximity to the main city. "
296286,44906794,2015-08-30,29944336,Rebeca,Good location in walking distance from many social things. However if you are a light sleeper you might want pick another location. The rowdy night sounds tend to be very audible in this place. Other than that it seems to be a good place to stay for a couple days. 
296286,45922173,2015-09-07,11820361,Lauren,"LOCATION! Such a great little apartment located in the artsy E 6th St area. We had a blast staying here over Labor Day weekend. It was a great, central place to touch down to cool off / freshen up between outings. So much to do in the immediate surrounding area. Loved the suggestions left on the chalkboard, visited almost every single one of them. Alexandria was a great host and I would recommend that others (4 max) stay here when visiting Austin!"
296286,46707940,2015-09-13,3638418,Andrew,"Staying at Alexandria's place was great. Alexandria provided cheerful and prompt communication and the place was just right. An excellent crash pad for a few nights in Austin that's near enough to the west side to easily get into that if you want, but far enough away to allow a more relaxed evening on the east side if that's what you're looking for. On site parking was an excellent plus."
296286,49094756,2015-10-01,12718251,Daniel,"Alexandria was wonderful leading up to our stay, excellent communication and provided lots of information about her area. Her apartment could not have been in a better location! Would definitely stay with her again."
296286,49735293,2015-10-05,23816560,Reem,"Great place, minutes away from all things that are happening in Austin (6th St., etc.) .The host was flexible to my schedule. The place is fully equipped for anything. Wonderful experience. "
296286,52416690,2015-10-29,9078907,David,"We had a great time in Austin. 

The apartment was in a great neighbourhood with lots of restaurants food trucks and bars. A foodie's dream. 

The apt was clean and cute. It had everything you needed for a fun trip in Austin. 

"
4941198,28078079,2015-03-17,11363877,Lauren,Vanessa was great and made booking as well as check-in/out a breeze. Would definitely recommend her place in Austin!
1195142,28058165,2015-03-16,12551669,Anthony,"Welcoming host, warm place to stay with private bathroom. She let my dog stay with me which is nice. "
1195142,28350872,2015-03-22,22169073,Mackenzie,Marina was very easy to work with and the place was just as described.

1195142,29796485,2015-04-12,15009318,Geoffrey,Great stay as always.
1195142,30237711,2015-04-19,8190012,John,"My experience was excellent; location, apartment, price point and Marina's engaging personality, all contributed to a memorable stay.
Marina also played ""sleuth"" and tracked down my shipment, which addressed to wrong apartment, which saved me much anguish and time."
1195142,30938212,2015-04-29,19868630,Cameron,"Marina had snacks and water made available, fresh towels, and clean accommodations - all very appreciated. Bed was so comfortable! The nature of a shared common room (which also serves as the host's bedroom) makes for quiet-as-a-mouse breakfasts prepared in the dark -- but the personal space allowed in the bedroom makes up for that. Lovely apartment complex and great location. "
1195142,53088895,2015-11-04,19925546,Nicole,The place was nice and clean. Never met Marina in person but she was very nice. Bed was comfortable.
3138709,23341030,2014-11-29,23272181,Shams,"This was my first every booking with airbnb and our experience staying  with Annie couldn't been better. They made our trip very memorable and made us feel very welcome staying at their home. I hope that future airbnb hosts are as thoughtful, courteous and communicative as Kyle and Annie."
3138709,33255792,2015-05-26,12456905,Robert,"We had a great time staying at Kyle & Annie's house.  Very spacious, very nicely remodeled.  Loved the master bedroom and bath especially, and the big dining room table came in handy, too.  Kyle & Annie were great hosts - had snacks and some other food waiting for us.  Nice location - easy to get around.  We were in Austin for our daughter's graduation from UT Memorial Day weekend.   Ran into some heavy rain on that Sunday, and all in all, the house was a cozy place to spend the afternoon watching Netflix.   "
6620986,34547972,2015-06-09,35028701,Sarah,"The weekend was perfect. I live in Austin but had three guests coming into town and no where to put them in my tiny apartment. So we rented this place. Everything was clean and the house was fully furnished! Dallas even welcomed us by leaving cookies for us. I loved the big backyard and porch, which was great for grilling out with the barbecue pit! The house is in a perfect location, close enough to downtown for a cheap Uber ride, but far enough away to be a relaxing getaway in a quiet neighborhood. The house is really close to South Congress which is great for shopping and patio sitting at great restaurants! My guests loved that they could spread out in the spacious rooms and living area, instead of being cramped in a tiny hotel room. We saved money by cooking some of our meals in the furnished kitchen instead of eating out all time. Overall, the stay was great and I wouldn't have changed anything."
6620986,35188518,2015-06-15,10535192,Jt,"The house is well located, clean and I like the area! Would recommend staying here to anyone looking at Austin.. Dallas is a great host and will definitely book at this great gem again!!"
6620986,35854016,2015-06-22,1254770,Sunshine,"LOVED this place! Nice, roomy and so very comfy. Was absolutely perfect for my family. Nice, big backyard and close to everything in Austin. I will stay here again when I come back to Austin. Dallas was so accommodating and helpful.  I couldn't of asked for a better experience during our stay. This is the place you want to rent when you come to Austin!!! FYI, The beds are amazing!! The back bedroom has the most comfortable bed I have EVER slept in!!! It's huge and awesome. Worth every penny spent just to sleep in this bed! Call shot gun before you get there :)   Perfect!  "
6620986,36422400,2015-06-28,34758608,Rosa,"The house was exactly as advertised. It was easy to find, in a quiet neighborhood, and near some good eateries on Oltorf. It was clean, spacious and suited all our needs. We were looking for a home away from home and this house offered us exactly that. 

Dallas was very responsive and accommodating. He was always just a text away and made himself available the morning of my arrival.  He went the extra mile after a little snafu with the grill, and brought us some goodies to make up for the inconvenience.  

I would definitely stay in any other of Dallas’ rentals again and recommend his properties based on his exceptional customer service.  "
6620986,37240827,2015-07-05,36823849,Krishna,Dallas was always available via text or a phone call and made sure everything was going great over my stay. The house is exactly like the description and is perfect home base for Austin adventures. The location is absolutely fantastic as it is just a 10 minute drive to almost anywhere in Austin! I would definitely recommend staying here! The house is absolutely fantastic with comfy couches and beds!
6620986,38046090,2015-07-12,20304258,Patricia,Dallas was available at all times by text and answered questions promptly. Home was just as described in his listing.
6620986,39996745,2015-07-27,37620111,Taylor,"I had a great stay, this house is very comfortable and has everything you need for a pleasant vacation. The beds are very comfortable and it is close to everything. Dallas made sure that we had everything we needed even though we really didnt. I definitely recommend this house if ur staying with 2 3 people it's very cozy"
6620986,42060982,2015-08-10,40282578,James,"This was a great place to stay. I was a short drive from everything we needed while visiting Austin. Dallas made arrival very easy with texting which is my preferred method.

The house was a great two bedroom and very well cared for.

Thanks"
6620986,42493836,2015-08-13,39378621,Greg,House was really clean and was very spacious for the three of us that stayed. The location made it easy to get anywhere we wanted to in Austin. Dallas replies very quickly and is helpful. It was very convenient to be able to cook there and do our laundry as we were travelling. The A/C worked well and the beds were comfortable! Nicest accommodation we have stayed in since travelling!  
6620986,43879174,2015-08-22,31172641,Juan,"Super, super place super host super everything about this place was just right"
6620986,44445931,2015-08-26,37079142,Corey,Had a great time at the house everything we needed was readily available. Dallas was very attentive and helpful with all of our needs and questions. I would recommend him to anyone using AirBnB.
6620986,46202137,2015-09-08,42319044,Sean,"First off, just wanted to say how awesome Dallas (our host) made this experience. A bunch of friends and I traveled to Austin for no real purpose other than to take a spontaneous trip of sorts. We decided to give the whole Airbnb thing a shot, and wow it was awesome.  When traveling as a larger group, we will probably try to use Airbnb from here on out.  For our group of five, this house fit perfectly for our needs.  It was clean, cozy, and comfortable.  The house sits on a large corner lot with a large front yard and back. The kitchen was supplied with everything you could possibly need.  There was even a grill in the backyard which we didn't use, because let's be real...how can you compete with the Austin BBQ, but it was nice knowing we could utilize if need be.   Dallas surprised us and left us some complimentary food items like Arabica Coffee and cookies.  That was a really touch.  Ahhh, wish I was back there... And oh my God, I almost forgot!  The king bed.  Have you ever slept on Heaven?.. No?...Well, that bed has to be the closest thing to it.  My other personal favorite touch was the keypad on the door for entry access so no house key needed.  So many other plus points: The TV in the living room was all wired up to the fully loaded cable, the house internet was really fast, the Nest thermostat made it super easy to control the house temperature, and the extra roll-away beds provided two of my friends a bed when they had already assumed and accepted sleeping on the floor.  

The house resides about 15 minutes from Downtown where we Uber'd and Lyft'd almost daily.  The neighborhood was nice enough.  We didn't really see any neighbors so can't comment on that.

All in all, the place was exactly what you could want.  Everyone in Austin is totally friendly and pumped about living in Austin.  They are all really cool toward tourists.  

The most important thing though was how accommodating, professional, and welcoming Dallas was.  A great host who probably sold us on airbnb for life.  

Dallas, thanks for an awesome stay!  We hope to come stay again."
6620986,47738112,2015-09-21,41576919,Rick,"Awesome place great host. The place location is close to downtown, airport and race track, veary clean place and very safe also great air conditioning. There is a great cafe close and other amenities. We were 4 gest and we were happy staying there ."
6620986,48817911,2015-09-28,44695928,David,Great house. Very comfortable for two bedrooms   Nice dining and kitchen. I would stay again and recommend the house. Priced right.
6620986,49654856,2015-10-05,41774815,Lee,"My friends and I stayed here for Austin City Limits 2015. Needless to say, we did not spend too much time here, but it was an EXCELLENT crash pad! 

It was adequately stocked for normal living conditions equivalent to a traditional hotel experience. He was even kind enough to leave us some snacks and a six pack of one of my favorite beers. 

Another note is that he was very straight forward about pricing for the stay. During the festival, we witnessed several other renters using bait and switch tactics in regards to pricing, but Dallas was straightforward and communicated everything we needed to know efficiently. 

I obviously have nothing but nice things about my stay here. My experience at the ACL 2015 festival was enhanced because I chose to stay here. "
6620986,50438654,2015-10-12,37921889,Gigi,The East side gem was a great spot while staying in Austin. Everything was 10-20 minutes away and there were always ubers close by. Dallas was very flexible with check in and check out times which made the trip stress free. When we arrived there were snacks and some things in the fridge that also improved our stay. Would definitely stay there again if I go back to Austin!
2021663,9263600,2013-12-16,10593856,Chris,Great deal!  Jordan's a good host.  He is fair and honest.  Very good location with great access to downtown and the light rail. Safe neighborhood and very private.  I'd would highly recommend staying at this location.  
2021663,9575615,2014-01-02,10850558,Rebecca,Jordan was wonderful. He was very friendly and made sure that we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. He is located in a great part of town just a short walk from the Capitol building and 6th street.
2021663,9985767,2014-01-23,662671,Laura V.,"I booked this room in order to attend a conference and was very happy with the proximity to the 6th st and the conference venue. Also the room was fantastic; had great space, a comfy bed, a desk and a hanger. It was a little chilly for me at night, and was great to have an electric heater available.  In overall, I was it was a good experience. 

The only thing i did not like was that when i arrived, the bathroom wasn't very clean. However, the cleaning lady did clean it after a few days.  "
2021663,10074317,2014-01-28,11558483,Logan,"Jordan's place was exactly what I needed for my trip to Austin. Nothing fancy but it was clean, comfortable, very close to downtown, and a good value. He was a very gracious host, providing me with recommendations and directions around Austin. I would definitely stay there again and I would recommend it to others looking for a place to crash. "
2021663,10142661,2014-02-02,11761746,Linda,"I stayed in a unattached room behind the main house. One needs to enter the house to use the bathroom facilities.
The location is wonderful as I could walk to many areas although I did have a car.
Jordan had time the night I arrived to greet me although he was leaving the next morning on a trip so he would be gone for the duration of my stay.
 His brother Chris was a delightful host and was more than willing to answer any questions, give directions and he gave me his phone number in case I had any problems whatsoever.
Yet there came an issue one morning when I entered the house and Jordan had rented it out for a professional television shoot. I was unable to shower, went to the room in the back and as I was going to exit they were filming in the yard so I was rather stuck in the little back room until that was over.
Once all quiet, I gathered my things to go inside to shower (assuming they were gone after a few hours) only to run into someone in the back laundry room giving me the sign to be quiet as he said they were now filming inside the house.
By the time I did return to the room the floor and tables were crawling with ants. I had left but one whole apple.
I called Chris and asked him to return my call. I ended up doing the clean up myself after the morning and early afternoon of stress with the t.v. shoot. My experience was less than favorable.
I felt frustrated by a loss of time visiting Austin. I had noticed that the room wasn't spot on clean but it wasn't dirty. I'm a mother and these are two young men. I can't say I expected more. But when I mentioned the ants, the response I received was, ""I did clean thr floor with bleach a couple of months ago,"" Yikes! Months!
I think that renting out his house while having an airbnb guest was merely a poor call on Jordan's account. I felt badly for Chris as he was left in the middle not able to do anything about the situation and he felt badly.
But Jordan, as a host himself is great, the location is wonderful. I was barely there minutes and Jordan was offering me a glass of wine. 
I wouldn't let my experience deter you from booking with this host, but I suggest to always get full disclosure. Perhaps he needs to hire a house cleaner and wash the comforter or learn how. I surely felt/feel I should have been refunded for that last night. But his heart and his house are in the right place."
2021663,10288586,2014-02-10,608670,Haylee,"Jordan was super nice and laid back.  He accommodated me in the back house at the LAST MINUTE which was super kind. It was very clean and comfortable.  I didn't LOVE that I needed to go into the main house to use the restroom, especially when I needed to go at like 7AM!  Haha.  The BEST PART OF JORDAN'S PLACE IS THE LOCATION.  Soooo close to everything and so convenient.  I would stay again!  Oh and the bed was the most comfortable ever!"
2021663,10445226,2014-02-18,9252052,Susan,"Jordan was a wonderful Host.  Very friendly and informative about the area.  I had a comfortable night’s sleep in the back carriage house.  The room was clean and met my needs.  Jordan has some renovation going on in the main house, but the bathroom and shower also met my needs.  I am especially grateful for the use of Jordan’s bicycle.   What a great city to explore by bike.  Thank you Jordan.  "
2021663,10555004,2014-02-24,11295213,Neal,"I couldn't imagine a better place to stay if you're looking to get the most out of your trip to Austin. Jordan's house is right in the middle of just about everything. It's about 5 blocks from the downtown tourist bar district and the bike trail along the river. But the best part is how close you are to East 6th street, which is the best part of the city in my opinion. I feel like I got really lucky finding Jordan's place. He was a really great host and was more than happy to tell me all the great places to go in Austin. Jordan also had a bike available for use, which turned out to be an invaluable part of my trip.

The detached part of the house where I stayed was great. It's bigger than I thought it would be. Really nice bed, a dresser, a desk and a place to hang your clothes. You don't really need much else. You need to go inside the house for the bathroom/shower which was totally fine. The place was clean and there were towels and soap and everything provided. 

I'm SUPER happy with my stay in Austin. Thank you Jordan for sharing your house and letting me feel like a local, not a tourist. "
2021663,10598497,2014-02-26,2968486,Dustan,Great location! Right next to a bunch of neat places on east 6th. Wish there was a TV but the bed was comfy and exactly what I was looking for. 
2021663,10613667,2014-02-27,10435615,Steve,"The only problem with this rental is that you have to go outside into the main house to go to the bathroom.

Location was awesome...i could walk to where I wanted to go."
2021663,10768031,2014-03-06,1628694,Rob,"Jordan was an accommodating and friendly host, and his place is very close to downtown without being in the hectic middle of it all. The carriage house is spare, but nice, and the mattress is insanely comfortable. Would definitely stay again! Great coffee, breakfast and beer all right around the corner."
2021663,11104589,2014-03-20,12741606,Peter,"Juliet is as nice and beautiful as she looks! This room is separate to the house so it's private and very clean and comfortable. The location is a quick walk up to east 6th (east of 35) to various bars and food trucks including live such as Hotel Vegas and The White Horse.
"
2021663,11184422,2014-03-24,12546970,Eric,"Juliet was great - very prompt, friendly and accommodating."
2021663,11332106,2014-03-30,13096476,West,"What a gem! This little carriage house was perfect for my needs since I was only going to be in Austin a short time and wanted to be close to 6th Street but also come back to someplace quiet. The location is perfect for both access to entertainment as well as transportation. 

Juliet was an EXCELLENT host, although sadly we never crossed paths. She was quick to respond and made it feel like I already had a friend in Austin. 

I highly recommend Juliet's Carriage House, and hope to be back again! "
2021663,11476340,2014-04-04,7420623,William,Convenient location to downtown. Hosts very nice.
2021663,11676450,2014-04-11,8304245,Kevin,"I loved the carriage house and the neighborhood. Very close and central to many interesting spots, including E. 6th with all of it's great bars, clubs and food trucks. Juliet was very nice and accommodating. The only thing I wished differently is that the bathroom were attached to the carriage house. It's in the main house which was a little inconvenient, but no biggie. "
2021663,12167916,2014-04-24,8167789,Brian,Nice private room in a decent location for a good rate.
2021663,12469098,2014-05-03,13674857,Nick,In a cool neighborhood close to bars and eateries.  Clean quiet private room.  They even had beer and coconut water with a reasonable suggested donation.  I'd stay here again.
2021663,12521352,2014-05-04,617938,Jim,"I travel a lot, mostly for work. So I needed a place to stay in a pinch and Julia came through in, literally, a matter of minutes. It's a room in a small carriage house in the backyard. It's clean, has a comfortable bed, 4 walls and a place to put your stuff. I don't ask much. Bathroom and kitchen are inside the house so, its a few steps outside. It's also close to Rainey Street, the hot spot for all the cool new bar houses and many food trucks. Thanks Julia!"
2021663,12930571,2014-05-14,14612802,Georgia,The host was very helpful and it was a great location.
2021663,13067443,2014-05-19,12480024,Marielys,"I had an unfortunate circumstance upon arrival, as I could not get into the carriage house with code given. I received response from owner and thankfully, there was another available room in the home. I was glad to have an option. In the morning, Sarah, who manages property, stopped by and rectified the situation. On the second day, I was able to stay in the carriage house, which is minimalist but has all the essentials I needed for a brief trip to Austin. The home is in a quiet residential neighborhood with ample street parking and walkable streets. It was close to popular running trail and some cool restaurants and shops. 

In regards to the main house and carriage house, the bathroom was not as tidy as expected but was not filthy either. In the carriage house, there is a small issue with ants that populate the entryway. The kitchen and living area were impeccable, though. 

I would recommend if you have a brief stop in Austin and require few amenities. "
2021663,13285277,2014-05-24,3858265,Tim,"Communication with the host was good, was easy to come and go, there was a bit of an ant problem when I arrived, but they were sure to send an exterminator through and spray in and around the house on the day before I left.  The room is as described nothing special, but nice clean comfortable sheets. The bathroom was nice but it is inside the house so a bit inconvenient. 
I probably would not stay here again, but if you just need cheep place to stay, the house is quite and in a good neighborhood. "
2021663,13913385,2014-06-08,1316383,Brant,I had a very positive experience staying in Julia's carriage home.  It was the perfect distance between both the conference center and East 6th street.  Also a close walk to Rainey.  Perfect location.  The house was clean and I did not have any problems. Great service!
2021663,14014822,2014-06-10,12864083,Emu,The room was exactly as described. The location can't be beat. It's perfect for anyone who wants to be close to all the action and probably won't be spending a ton of time in the room– and why would you? There's so much awesome stuff to do! I was kinda worried about the bathroom being in the house but it really wasn't a big deal. And the codes on the doors makes it really easy to get in and out and not have to worry about keys and stuff. There is also beer and wine available with a suggested donation. We didn't have any but it's a thoughtful touch. 
2021663,14288100,2014-06-16,6646742,Thauana,Great place in a very convenient location close to downtown and all the fun places in Austin. I definitely know where to stay next time I am in town. 
2021663,14382450,2014-06-17,1873803,Stanley,Great location. The hosts were very helpful and available. The room was tidy and clean. With air conditioning!
2021663,14496836,2014-06-20,6403512,Karim,Julia was a fantastic host and there were no issues whatsoever. Great communication - she even helped me on the phone while she was on international travel before I arrived! 5/5 Stars! :-)
2021663,14584058,2014-06-22,186179,Josh,"The room was super quiet, clean and simple, with plenty of power outlets!!! And it has a private entrance. The property is super close to the downtown nightlife - a quick cab ride home (we could have walked easily in 10mins). We didn't use the kitchen (which looked super user friendly), nor did I shower (as we had a super early plane ride) so I can't comment on those. We are super happy with Julia and would not hesitate to book again if needed."
2021663,14717994,2014-06-24,16861870,Matthew,"The backhouse/carriage house room at Julia's B&B was a lovely place to stay for two nights in Austin (and my first airbnb experience). It's a basic, clean room at a great price in an well-located and hip part of town. I recommend it."
2021663,15200162,2014-07-04,10903163,Jacqueline,Great location - easy walk downtown. Room clean and tidy. All requests for information dealt with super fast. Many thanks.
2021663,15479871,2014-07-09,7533558,Lisa Marie,"We needed a room at the last minute after something else fell through, and contacting Sara, the house manager was seamless.  We booked quickly and got our confirmation information within a matter of a half an hour.   Staying at this place was comfortable and easy.  We had our own room in a small house in the back of a main house.  The kitchen was ours to cook in and laundry was available.  "
2021663,15543800,2014-07-11,6415715,Brian,"I had a fantastic time staying at this little gem of a place. The host, Jordan, was courteous and very helpful. This room is situated behind the main house, thus has excellent privacy and is very quiet. The price is very reasonable considering how well-equipped and how close it is to Austin downtown. Overall, a great place and I would certainly return the next time I'm in Austin."
2021663,15703036,2014-07-14,17017926,Henry,I didn't end up going to Austin and staying at Julia's place but I do have nice things to say about her. She was always making sure that everything was going to be ok and when I told her I wasn't going to make it she took it well. 
2021663,15849268,2014-07-16,17919687,Michael,"I never met the host, but every bit of information was sent to me very quickly. I had no problems getting into the room or main residence. I would stay here again."
2021663,16091118,2014-07-22,16062257,Maria,My experience was a good one.  If I had questions they were quickly responded to in a very friendly and welcoming manner.  I loved the neighborhood.  It was very quiet and safe and convenient to public transportation or walking into downtown and beyond. 
2021663,16296462,2014-07-25,8140439,Ching-Yi,"In general, I have good experience staying at that place. I had a professional conference in Austin convention center. This place is close to the meeting place within walk distance. The biggest concern to me is walking in the evening around the neighborhood. After I had dinner with my friends after meeting, I notice that some street light were broken and a couple of homeless people were around the neighborhood."
2021663,17465646,2014-08-12,15166711,Riccardo,Siamo stati 3 notti nella carriage house room 3. Julia è stata disponibile via mail. Per entrare in camera e nella casa dove c'è il bagno ci è stato inviato un codice il giorno prima dell'arrivo. Nei 3 giorni non abbiamo incontrato nessuno ma non ci sono stati problemi. Il quartiere è tranquillo e la posizione comoda per raggiungere il centro e la 6th strada. L'aria condizionata era un pò rumorosa ma fondamentale per l'estate di Austin.
2021663,17683152,2014-08-16,16882058,Marysia,"I had a good stray, however never had a chance to meet my host."
2021663,18079270,2014-08-21,1179464,Victor,"Staying at Julia's place was great. Julia was out of town but Jordan and Sara were super helpful with everything, with pro tips on what to do (and eat!) around Austin. The location is great, with tasty food  2 minutes away. I stayed in the separate room out back, which had aircon (and is much needed for Austin's scorching summers) and was cosy. 

I highly recommend staying here!"
2021663,18446559,2014-08-26,19683502,Wesley,Nice neighborhood
2021663,18917705,2014-09-02,9718629,Erika,"excellent location in east austin. the room was clean and comfortable. easy walk to both downtown austin and restaurants/nightlife in east austin - would recommend to friends! thanks julia!
"
2021663,19197145,2014-09-08,17710578,Steve,"It was easy to come and go from Room 3 - lots of privacy, air con, pretty central for walking and cabs. 

The only issue was that, since Rm 3 is outside the main house, the bathroom was sometimes a bit of a mission, and sometimes there was a wait since the house was full. 

Clean sheets, kitchen access... Overall a good experience. Thanks Jordan!"
2021663,19663629,2014-09-15,8742068,Ronney,Everything was perfect! 
2021663,19943744,2014-09-21,8481729,Catherine,Great location. Clean room. Only negative was the bathroom was inside the house and the bedroom was detached. Ended up waiting for the bathroom a few times. Enjoyed my trip. Great response time from Julia  
2021663,20032076,2014-09-22,2800422,Meredith,"Julia was very welcoming and responsive. The bedroom space was small but clean and well-kept, as was the bathroom. Location was great. Far enough away that parking was not a problem, but an easy 15ish minute walk to entertainment, shopping and restaurants. Thank you!!"
2021663,20188197,2014-09-25,248805,Gaston,"Just what I expected , simple and comfortable carriage house , good bed and with AC , location is great in terms of proximity to downtown , but the area going from and to is a bit sketchy at night , homeless people tend to congregate there , I learned my lesson the first night and from that moment on I used uber and taxies , and then everything was great"
2021663,20637182,2014-10-02,1039130,Greg,"So, it's 1:38am and I am awake. Expect this at this house and have fun. "
2021663,21271688,2014-10-13,22370784,Sarah,"I did not really see the host, but it was a quiet neighborhood and a private room. The only thing I had known was that the bathroom was not located in the bedroom, but rather in another house. Aside from that, it was cozy."
2021663,21330733,2014-10-14,5221451,Andrew,Julia did an excellent job of making me feel welcome by wonderful amenities and a great room. I had no trouble checking in or out. I almost felt like it never happened! I would highly recommend Julia and her Private East Austin Room.
2021663,21453022,2014-10-17,20853107,Mike,There was a little construction going on during my visit but overall my experience was good. The room is lovely and the hosts were very friendly. 
2021663,21505859,2014-10-19,17572210,David,The house was rundown and the neighbourhood was unsafe. Having the outside room with a indoor toilet was a massive negative. 
2021663,22095247,2014-10-30,14175346,Macé,Conveniently located with access to downtown Austin. Peaceful neighbourhood. 
2021663,22288025,2014-11-03,14016951,Amanda,"Enjoyed my stay here! The room was decent size and the bed was comfortable. The location was really good, especially for the price. I was here for the Formula 1 race so it was perfect location for access to the highways. The host was nice. The only downside was having the bathroom in the other house but even that wasn't as inconvenient as I was expecting. Having a mirror would have been nice so I didn't have to go to the other house just to put make up on or use a mirror. Overall good experience, thanks!"
2021663,23782294,2014-12-10,12934355,Noel,"The Host was out of town for the 4 days I've stayed, so I could not get the chance to meet her. The room was small with little room to walk around in, but had a comfortable bed to make up for it. I wasn't to pleased with the neighborhood as it had graffiti on the alleys, a lot of homeless people in the vicinity, and the curb view of the neighborhood was not kept nicely."
2021663,23831070,2014-12-11,22521107,Musisi,"This was a good experience. The home is clean, spacious and close to a lot of the sights. I did not meet Julia but she responded promptly to all my questions via text. Highly recommend."
2021663,23963482,2014-12-15,24173690,Zachary,"Julia was extremely helpful and was waiting for me at the door when I arrived. There was a slight issue with the room I booked, but she had already arranged a fix to a bigger and better room! This was my very first Air BnB and I had an excellent first experience. "
2021663,24373999,2014-12-27,22648709,Carol,"Room was lacking a cover of any kind over the window and there was no chair.  Entire facility was still very much under renovation but the room was fine and the location was OK.  I felt entirely safe even though I was probably the only renter one or two nights.  I did meet one of the hosts, Sarah, and she was very pleasant.  "
2021663,24603752,2014-12-31,10373176,Alex,"We had a mixed experience staying at Julia's. When we arrived, it was clear that the house was undergoing a major renovation that we didn't expect; the kitchen didn't have countertops, the bedroom was missing blinds on one window, our room did not have heat, the door to the (shared) bathroom didn't close, and construction materials were laying all about the inside and outside of the house. And our room did not have a desk, lamp or dresser pictured in the listing.

That said, Sara was extremely helpful in getting us what we needed. The room that we shared a bathroom with was unoccupied for most of our stay so the door that wouldn't shut was less of an issue, though it would still have been nice to have some privacy in our own room. We were offered to have blinds installed during our stay, which we politely declined. Sara provided a heater as soon as we let her know we needed one, and her response time was remarkable.

Unfortunately all of Sara's help couldn't erase the feeling that we were staying in a construction site. Our stay may have been better if we had been able to anticipate the ongoing construction. Once it's done and all the kinks are out, I'm sure it will be a comfortable place to stay."
2021663,24884531,2015-01-03,779841,Vinay,"GREAT East Austin location, Julia & Co. were fast and effective communicators and went out of their way to make me feel welcome.  Room was basic but good for the price.

I will say that the room I got was not as pictured (it had less furniture, but more windows and its own entrance).  I had told Julia a bit about my trip and what I got was actually a better match.  I'd suggest if you stay at her place you discuss beforehand as well.  I'd definitely stay here again."
2021663,25121468,2015-01-06,5686081,Paula,This was an awesome place to stay! The room furniture was bare minimum but totally fit our needs. Good kitchen with appliances. 
2021663,25159549,2015-01-07,12145846,Josh,Julia's place was clean and peaceful. We booked the room late but she responded immediately and was super pleasant. I would suggest it for a cheap short stay anytime!
2021663,25596296,2015-01-20,4826838,Adam,Perfect spot. super comfortable bed and room. great bathroom. super friendly host. would stay hear again without any hesitation.
2021663,25783109,2015-01-25,22674423,Eric,"The place is super clean! Sarah and. Julia were very responsive, always available by phone. Great place to stay. "
2021663,26118081,2015-02-03,26796982,Erin,"There are several rooms on the property. I stayed in room #4 for one night. The room is small yet efficient. My room was clean, had a comfortable bed, a mini fridge, a small closet with hangers, a night stand with a lamp, an area heater (which was definitely needed at night), and a couple bath towels. The bathroom is inside the main house. So from room #4 you have to walk a couple feet outside to get to it. I had no issue with this as the weather was agreeable. The location was convenient and the neighborhood calm. It took me about a minute to walk up to the Shangri La bar on 6th street. And about 5 minutes to walk into downtown Austin for coffee and breakfast in the morning. I enjoyed the fact that there were others staying there and I got to kick it with some interesting and good people. In my opinion, a big bonus was the keyless entry locks. No keys to worry with, and probably a bit more secure."
2021663,26171351,2015-02-05,686952,Peter,"Once I get settled, the location was great for a Crossfit box, the convention center and 6th street.  I was not expecting to have to go outside to use the bathroom, but it worked just fine. "
2021663,26287352,2015-02-08,21284090,Nicholas,"I visited Austin to see a show on 6th St. I was looking for a relatively inexpensive place within walking distance of the show. This place met my criteria quite well.

Positives: 
1. the transaction was very smooth. I booked the room the day before check in, received comprehensive instructions by email.
2. plentiful street parking.
3. the room was clean, towels and adequate bedding were provided.
4. the location is a short walk from 6th St, which meant I didn't have to worry about finding parking before the show or driving back afterwards.

Negatives: 
1. there are only two bathrooms shared between eight double rooms.  Both bathrooms were in use when I got up. Frowny face.
2. there is no central air and no window unit. There is a silly little heater which plugs into the wall. I was comfortable enough in February but I don't think I'd want to have to sleep in this room anytime between May and September.
3. my room, #4, shares a bathroom with room #3. The door was locked from the other side but there was no way to secure the door on my side. Also the dividing wall is pretty thin. Frowny face.
4. the neighborhood is best described as ""mixed use"". Many people might not feel comfortable walking around alone at night."
2021663,26554656,2015-02-15,21961760,Joshua,"Overall great stay. Room small,clean,perfect location. Was as described. Housemates were great. Would def use again. Ads can be confusing. Some rooms inside house, some outside detached. Be sure to contact for layout information if this matters to you (detached probably more quiet, but inside easier to restroom)."
2021663,26912698,2015-02-22,17498837,Vanessa,"I didn't need to check in with anyone and the directions to access the home and room were straightforward. Very easy. The house was impeccable and looks newly remodeled. Everything was very clean and neat. Spacious rooms, nice big kitchen and the bathrooms were nice as well. My room (#4) didn't have a full length mirror or a mirror for me to do my hair or makeup which I think would help ease up the bathrooms a bit but overall I was very happy with my stay here. The bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper, toiletries and washcloths.  My room had two towels and clean sheets. I was very happy to have a small space heater in my room as well. I only used it the first two nights but it warmed the room up nicely. I stayed here to attend a conference going on at the Austin Convention Center. It was about an 8 minute walk in the morning. Very close and I would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking to stay near downtown Austin. "
2021663,27491561,2015-03-06,11270173,Bianca,"Julia was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, even though we didn't meet in person. The room I stayed in was located outside of the main house which meant it was really cold at night and you had to walk through the backyard to use the bathroom in the main house. If you don't mind a cold room/outdoor trek to the bathroom, then otherwise this place is in a great location. I could easily walk to where I needed to go. "
2021663,28710910,2015-03-29,24363169,Aisulu,Great location.
2021663,29347138,2015-04-06,30102527,Evan,"Staying at Julia's over Easter weekend was great! Amazing location, a quick walk to 6th St. And pretty much any downtown area you want to go. Only about a 10 minute uber ride from the airport. Meeting the other people renting rooms was a neat experience. Cost is great for the location! Never met Julia but she was very responsive and helpful before, during, and after the renting process. 5/5 stars"
2021663,29749741,2015-04-12,28829949,Richard,"The room was clean and attractive as were the common spaces. I had a room on a back courtyard which was somewhat less convenient to the bathroom.  The host provided the access codes to the front door and to the room by email, so we never actually met.    

I was attending a conference in downtown Austin which was within walking distance.  Also close by are the restaurants and bars on E 6th Street and, in the other direction, the nightlife on Rainey St was about a ten minute walk. "
2021663,29897106,2015-04-13,18219885,Alec,"Just a simple, no-frills room with shared bathroom very close to downtown austin."
2021663,30113321,2015-04-17,3212332,Andrew,"Communicating with Julia was a breeze, I had a great time staying at her place and the room was comfortable and clean. The area was awesome with it being close to the airport, downtown Austin, and 6th street."
2021663,30266430,2015-04-19,1755025,Sam,Place was clean. Enjoyed my stay. 
2021663,30539252,2015-04-23,28743778,Kirrilee,"Even though I did not get to meet Julia she was a fantastic host, great communication and great room with comfy bed close to downtown. Fully recommend staying with her."
2021663,30915112,2015-04-28,26496680,Neil,Ok
2021663,31188407,2015-05-03,29241095,Shawn,"This was a great place to stay in Austin!  It was right near everything we wanted to do.  A short walk Downtown and steps away from Rainey street which is an awesome place for night life.  The room was clean and so was the rest of the house.  All of the needed amenities were available and we never had a mishap.  Smooth sailing! If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin and you are not expecting to be home for much of the trip, this is your absolute best bet.  My girlfriend and I had a blast! Thanks Julia"
2021663,32518046,2015-05-19,27224900,Fred,"I had an adequate experience, and the room was in close proximity to the Convention Center and various East Austin eateries, bars and venues. The place is more of a ""hostel"" than I was expecting, with six rooms in a house totally converted and no one seeming to live there. Cleanliness of the shared bathroom space was so-so, which makes sense given how many people are staying there. I never saw any of the hosts during my stay. "
2021663,32800443,2015-05-21,30546013,Brian,"We loved this house. It was an easy walk into the heart of downtown. The room was small, but very comfortable."
2021663,32872496,2015-05-22,33788187,Lauren,Overall our first airbnb experience was very smooth. The house was very conveniently located and easy to access!
2021663,33229871,2015-05-26,5703186,Noel,"This was a bit more like a hotel/hostel experience than other airbnb experiences I've had. I think Julia was out of town so I think there was a staff member overseeing the rooms and lots of guests for the holiday weekend. 

It was a little weird that you had to travel outside to get to the bathroom (which was a little rough during the crazy weather this past weekend) but still a nice place overall with a cozy mattress, clean bathroom, and fresh towels. "
2021663,33485464,2015-05-28,34219923,Vincent,"Excellent location, the check-in/check-out process was seamless. Great location if you are planning to stay/work/play in the downtown area. The only issue I had was I had to walk outside to go to the bathroom, so as long as you don't mind that, this was a great value for the location."
2021663,33742469,2015-05-31,1458871,Michael,Julia's place was the perfect fit for our needs.  My girlfriend and I were in Austin for only 1 night and this place was not only affordable but only a $4 uber ride away from DT Austin.  Great for guests just passing through Austin.
2021663,34175996,2015-06-05,27201237,Ross,"The house is on a quiet street around 10-15 minutes walk from downtown Austin. The living room and kitchen are nice, although I didn't actually cook in the latter.

The bedroom is small and contains nothing except a bed and a small fridge. The air conditioning is *extremely* loud and kicks in every minute or two - I had to shut it down completely in order to sleep. The room I stayed in is actually separate from the main house, which means you need to go outside to get to the bathroom. There was some sort of connecting door to the next bedroom and its ensuite, which I couldn't lock. The neighbour decided to play loud music in the bathroom at 6:30am."
2021663,34244461,2015-06-06,34326315,Marcus,"Neighborhood was nice and convenient for getting around to HH spots, nightlife, restos, etc.  The information for what to expect when we arrive was descriptive, accurate and helpful when we arrived.  Overall our stay was everything we could've asked for and lived up to expectations!"
2021663,34760578,2015-06-11,2732022,Brian,Nice clean room. Easy access and close to all the Austin fun. Will stay here again.
2021663,35327471,2015-06-17,9061044,Sudheer,"I had a very positive experience. 

The location is close to downtown, and has a cool cafe, Cenote, close by. The room was clean and quiet, the hosts friendly.

There was a bit of a glitch as some of the information (phone numbers, keys) had changed between when I booked and the time I showed up. The hosts were present on site and took care of it. "
2021663,35443180,2015-06-18,35943415,Anthony,"Great, simple set up. Very easy and convenient for hanging out downtown."
2021663,35526144,2015-06-19,29114359,David,"The stay was great, thanks so much! Everyone was accommodating, and the location is a stone's throw away from the bus stop. Short walk to all the fun you can find! Glad I stayed here, room was exactly what I hoped for and I was not disappointed in the least."
2021663,36141279,2015-06-25,23900768,Howard,The key code setup was very convenient and allowed me come in and out as I pleased without worrying that I would disturb anyone.  The living room and bedroom was clean and the bed was very comfortable.  The hosts were very friendly and even took me out on a bike ride to check out Austin.  Highly recommended!
2021663,36611599,2015-06-29,36283051,Celeste,"Julia's room downtown is fantastic! Just as advertised, clean, comfy and a quick walk to downtown Austin. The room itself is very private, and it's attached to a main house with a great sitting room that has binders full of info for places to go in Austin. Also a quick walk to Rainey street which is full of old houses converted into bars and restaurants. Overall a great experience. "
2021663,36737241,2015-06-30,30459168,Lewis,"This airbnb was more like a luxury hostel, in many ways, with shared bathrooms, a shared kitchen and lounge area between several bedrooms housing the guests. That being said, it was a very pleasant experience staying here; the room was basic but very clean and comfortable and with great air conditionin. The kitchen and lounge area were also well decorated and well equipped. We didn't get to meet Julia, but her communication was great and the gentleman who welcomed us in her place was friendly and welcoming. "
2021663,36928449,2015-07-02,2630652,Adam,"This was a perfect place for my first time in Austin. In a great location, just a short walk to downtown. Even better if you have a bike to explore with. Checking in and out was hassle free and easy and i felt safe and secure. Would stay again!   "
2021663,37005478,2015-07-03,3286498,Michael,"We had a great time in this place. 
It is close to downtown, you can walk there in 10 minutes. 
If you are fine to share bathrooms with other guests you should definitely book. "
2021663,37234728,2015-07-05,3286498,Michael,"We had a great time in this place. 
It's closer to an hostel than the previous airbnb I've been but the stay was perfect. 
Met some other travelers and had a blast in the city. 

You can walk to downtown and there is a wonderful coffee just one block away. 
Also lot of parking space in the street. 
So if you're not afraid to share the bathroom with other guest you should definitely book. "
2021663,37528483,2015-07-07,10106683,Liz,"This stay was everything I wanted-- great price, convenient and clean-- with an emphasis on all three.  Some reviewers say it has a hostel feel with other guests they don't know there, but I would say this is better than that-- with much more privacy and sophistication but the same simple necessities and independence for vagabond travelers. The 24 hour check in service is a dream for travelers like me with changing plans and client needs. Will stay again."
2021663,37628375,2015-07-08,30211366,Emma And Courtney,"Starting with the positives the space is very clean and in a great location. The bed was comfortable and we had towels and everything we needed. On the negative side the bathroom is inside the main house where we had to go through the courtyard to access it. There is a bathroom attached to our room but it was blocked off for the owners to use for themselves. This was quite an inconvenience in the night, mainly as it let in lots of mosquitos and we got really heavily bitten. There was no real communication before we arrived as it was an instant book but it would have been nice to get a welcome message. When we got there we spoke to Jordan who helped us with where we had to go but when we had other questions after we did get the feeling we were inconveniencing him as he was working. We had to find our own way around the town as had no information about where to go etc. when we got back in the evening we met Julie who offered us information but we had already found it all out ourselves. Julie was very friendly. Our main issue was that the door to our room didn't lock at all as there was a problem with the code. As this opened outside we didn't feel comfortable with this as anyone could have walked in from outside, or another guest. It turned out there were no other guests staying but if this was the case we could have been moved into one of the other rooms. Another person offered to fix the lock while we went into town but when we got back it was still unlocked, and when we asked about it they said he would be back soon and would come in. We asked Julie about this a third time and were reassured he would be coming but never did. We didn't feel 100% safe while we were sleeping even though we were assured it was a safe neighbourhood. Overall we didn't feel this was the usual airbnb experience we were used to as it had a real business feel to the set up. If you just need a clean room with good location then this is great but if you want to have a more personal experience then I would advise looking for somewhere else. "
2021663,37802474,2015-07-10,23933719,Sid,"My 1st ever airbnb experience was perfect. I landed at 1030 on was able to get into my room quick and easy. Stepped out on the town and had the same easy access at the end of the night. Chic and cozy it def is and fit my needs to a ""T"". Thanks Julia and the community people there my night to make it an awesome experience.  Cheers!"

2021663,40833720,2015-08-02,13404682,Robert,Everything listed was accurate and we had no problems getting in at any point. For the little time we were there it was pleasant.
2021663,40973889,2015-08-03,21958684,Brian,"Unfortunately, I had a emergency, had to go home and wasn't able to stay in the room.  "
2021663,41934004,2015-08-10,13244972,Sarah,"Had a great first AirBNB experience. It was more of a hostel style, with communal areas, but each had their own private room with a specific code for the door.  Instructions were provided in messages, so it was nice to not need any orientation or deal with keys. Room was clean and comfortable, had it's own AC unit, and all in all great. I liked that I could leave some extra food/drink behind in the communal fridge so other patrons could use them. No waste!"
2021663,42490856,2015-08-13,40997646,Nicholas,Got directions to eveywhere we needed to go had a great experience. Had a construction crew wake us up super early the first night but emailed them about it and postponed construction the next morning until 10 to allow us to get some sleep. Although we had this initial problem they were so quick to get it fixed for us and had no issues after quiet area had a blast
2021663,42723392,2015-08-15,32147225,Simona,"Soggiorno veramente ""strano"".. di Julia manco l'ombra, nè di nessun altro. Codici per entrare e uscire dalla stanza ed assoluta libertà. Siamo rimasti un po' stupiti, anche perché ci arrivavano messaggi in ""automatico"" da Julia senza senso tipo ""spero vi siate trovati bene, vi ricordo domani mattina di lasciare la stanza presto"".. ma in realtà, non eravamo neanche arrivati al B&B!! Stanza comunque pulita, 1 solo asciugamano fornito, la scomodità era che la stanza era ""distaccata"" dal resto della casa e quindi dal bagno. Per raggiungerlo bisognava uscire dalla stanza, attraversare il cortile, digitare il codice, entrare in casa ed arrivare finalmente al bagno..  un tantino scomodo. Si salva la posizione strategica ed il vicinato tranquillo. "
2021663,42839514,2015-08-16,24676185,Aneta,I loved Austin and the room was very close to downtown which was perfect. I could walk there within 10min. The room was nice and comfortable. I would stay there again :)
2021663,43254646,2015-08-18,36542071,José Roberto,"La habitación es muy cómoda, limpia, tranquila. Con todo lo básico. La casa está totalmente equipada. Lo tiene todo. Es ideal para una estadía larga. "
2021663,44618789,2015-08-27,9281428,Alexandra,"The room and house was very clean and in a great location for my needs. My only issue is that my room (#4) is actually outside of the house, so you have to walk outside to go to bathroom, use the kitchen, etc. I did not know this before booking the room and since I was traveling alone and coming in late at night after a work event, this made me a bit nervous. If I had known this ahead of time I would have booked a different room in the house that was inside. Loved the keyless entry. "
2021663,44872708,2015-08-29,37671497,Matt,"Great location, cosy room and great communication throughout. Highly recommended "
2021663,45028382,2015-08-30,9319989,Alejandro,"Everything was well automated, while it may be a little weird to rent a place with no host, I was fine with it, I would rent it again."
2021663,45833221,2015-09-06,40716280,Sam,"I didn't have any interactions with Julia personally, but did have pleasant interactions with the on site host (my apologies for forgetting your name).  Overall I feel that the price was somewhat higher than I would expect for the neighborhood (somewhat depressed, and an industrial area a block away) and accommodations (basic), but I was satisfied with the experience.    I agree with some of the other reviews that it has more of a hostel feel, which I didn't have an issue with.  The common area was fine, and I had a bathroom to myself, as far as I could tell.  You do have to walk through a small private courtyard to enter the main house in order to use the bathroom, which was a minor inconvenience.  I was at a conference at the convention center, and while it was a short walk (less than 10 minutes), it was somewhat sketchy, and I don't think I would have been comfortable walking it at night as a single woman (I'm male).  It is really much better set up for people with a car, where this wouldn't be an issue, but I didn't have one.  There is a good coffee shop to the north, across the light rail tracks, and up on 6th (3 blocks) there is an awesome and cheap Mexican food truck that has great breakfast tacos.  There are also some food trucks close by, including La Barbecue, with phenomenal BBQ and also REALLY long lines.  They have free beer and a band at lunch on the weekends, but expect a 2+ hour wait, or order ahead at least 4 days in advance and skip the lines (worth it!).  "
2021663,46109386,2015-09-07,43505711,Adam,"Rented a room from Julie on the way to Austin for a last minute get away. Had absolutely no hassle. Clean, orderly, and great place! Easy walk to Rainey St and 6th St, as well as Lady Bird Lake. Highly recommend and would rent this room again."
2021663,46455419,2015-09-10,43611450,Sean,Great experience. Felt like my own little place with a shared bathroom in the other part of the house. Good location and overall chill experience. Recommend her place if you are in the area. 
2021663,47298175,2015-09-17,8650695,Justin,"Good stay, good host, super communicative. 

The place has a bit of a hostel feel, but I liked that. No check-in's, everything was automated. The place was super close and convenient. "
2021663,48690619,2015-09-28,35900875,Emily,"My friend and I had a great stay at Julia's Airbnb. The house is located only about a mile from downtown Austin, and has some amazing barbecue/coffee/tacos/brunch all within walking distance in East Austin. 

We stayed in room #4, the space was very clean, bed was comfortable and a great spot have as a home base. One thing we didn't realize was that the room was slightly removed from the house so we needed to walk outside (only about 20 ft) back to the house to use the bathroom. 

We had a great stay and would definitely recommend to any friends who wanted to explore the city!"
2021663,49762682,2015-10-06,34228878,Courtney,"The building was easy to get in and out of, our room had air conditioning and was very comfortable in the heat. Bathrooms were cleaned whilst we were there, the rest of the house was mostly clean as well. Location was excellent! Lots of amazing places a close walk away, and we walked back to the room late at night with no issues. Would highly recommend, and would revisit if back in Austin again. "
2021663,50024796,2015-10-08,19683130,John,"Everything was as described, keyless entry eliminated the worry of key exchanges. Very good experience. "
2021663,50740336,2015-10-14,6642176,Tina,Julia was helpful and accommodating following up to and throughout the trip. The room and bathroom were clean and spacious. Would recommend especially if you're staying in Austin for a few days. 
2021663,50872830,2015-10-15,3871317,Desiree,"This room was perfect for our downtown stay in Austin. Just a few blocks away from the B-cycle Share station, We were able to ride about the town with ease.  The room was comfortable and clean; also the entry was smooth and effortless. Highly recommended. "
2021663,51002398,2015-10-16,37493814,Ruth,"I found the room to be just as described, nothing fancy but a clean, comfortable room and bed to sleep in after a day of travel.  I loved the privacy and heard no noises from the main part of the house.  I didn't even mind walking the few steps outside between the bedroom and the main house to potty (even in the middle of the nite -- no biggie).  The keyless lock worked great -- no key to deal with.  My only criticism was the noisy A/C window unit -- it clicked on and off way too frequently and I found it annoying while trying to fall asleep.  But I'm sure I would've had a much harder time falling asleep without any A/C at all!  The temp was great, just the constant on/off irritating.  Other than that, a great experience and I would definitely come back."
2021663,51121792,2015-10-18,40388594,Daniel,"Quiet, close to downtown, and cheap. Would definitely recommend!"
2021663,51593698,2015-10-21,9152654,Alden,"Great room, simple and to the point.  Great value for staying so close to dt Austin, would definitely stay again."
2021663,51705839,2015-10-24,36484810,Rafael,I felt completely home and the room was exactly was I am expecting. Jordan and Julie were very warm and nice during my period there. I really recommend their place and will be there again next year.
2021663,51883585,2015-10-25,20744436,Edgar,"The location was very good, the access to the house was easy and parking was easy to find as well. 
On the other hand, I think the price was too high for what it was worth.  I did not like the room that much, because it does not look quiet the same as the picture, for some reason they had 2 mattresses on top the the bed base so it made bed too high so that made uncomfortable.  
Also, the room it not inside of the house, it's like an attachment in the back of the house, so in order to go to the bathroom you need to go out to the patio then enter the house, the problem was that it was raining a lot, so every time I needed to go to the bathroom I've soaking wet.
I never quiet understood if the people in the house were either the owners or other guests, because no one greeted us or welcomed us to the house.
I've had great experiences with Airbnb before, but this time I was not very please."
5546635,28492338,2015-03-24,12807322,Sunny,My friends and I had the most amazing time staying at Samanthas Rustic Cottage. The photos of the space don't do any justice for how beautiful and comfortable the house was. It was the perfect home to runaway from the crazy downtown life. Unfortunately we weren't able to meet Samantha because she was away her self but she called and emailed me to make sure my friends and I had everything we needed. We cooked everyday in her beautiful kitchen and was able to do a bonfire outside in her backyard! This is a place we want to rent again next year for SXSW if it is available! 
5546635,30252063,2015-04-19,5139986,Kevin,"Sam was a great host and recommended us some great local spots to hike and dine. I spent 3 nights in Sam's cottage with my significant other and little schnauzer; we all felt at home. Her patio and backyard are awesome for pet owners, and the location in general just seemed to be 100% dog friendly. 

The cottage was clean and so very charming. Each room is eclectic and comfortable, so if you just need to lounge after a morning and afternoon of activity, you can literally fall into any room and land on a cushion to doze off on.

I would recommend Sam and her cottage to anyone looking for a mix of quiet retreat, and some bustle (i.e. South Congress is just a 5 minute walk away).
"
5546635,30812645,2015-04-27,953027,Christine,"Samantha made me feel incredibly welcome - accommodating my schedule to allow an earlier check-in, emailing a very detailed welcome letter and introduction to the neighborhood, and calling me on my first day to make sure I was happily settled in. The cottage was absolutely lovely - unique art everywhere, cozy, a mere ten minute walk to the fun stores in SoCo. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks, Sam!"
5546635,31556322,2015-05-06,32291054,Dakota,"Samantha's place was perfect! It was just what we were looking for. She was super quick to respond to our inquiry and very accommodating. 

Awesome back porch, art all over the walls, nice kitchen and it is 4 blocks from S. Congress."
5546635,31815788,2015-05-10,6308079,Angelina,"I can't say enough wonderful things about Sam's beautiful spot! It was the perfect place for my friend and I, along with my two dogs, to relax for a few days in Austin. The location is ideal, the decor eclectic, soulful and fun and the overall vibe is everything I could have hoped for from a charming old Texas home. Her neighbors are lovely and her restaurant recommendations were delicious. Both my friend and I decided we'd likely be friends with Sam were we ever to meet in person. HIGHLY recommended. Thanks Sam!"
5546635,32646901,2015-05-19,12556230,Rachael,"The house was beautiful and rustic exactly as shown in the photos. Very protected and private from the street. Just off South congress so really close to yummy food and bars. Loved staying here, Samantha was very helpful even though she was abroad. Loved the place! "
5546635,33127944,2015-05-25,1181227,Luciana,"Sam was wonderful. She was out of the country when we visited, but she made sure to reach out and to give us local contact, if needed. Her home is lovely, and very cozy. Really captures the essence of Austin. "
4402297,28223839,2015-03-20,26498600,Ricky,"Ann was a great host and her space is very wonderful. Located conveniently next to Sprouts and other general stores. Very clean, and accommodated my company's SXSW team very well. Although we did not have any children stay with us, this space would be perfect for families with children looking to get away in Austin (kids rooms, fun yard, etc) Would definitely stay again!"
8520478,50721319,2015-10-13,44122304,Matthew,Great place! Awesome location and she was a very helpful host. Definitely recommend! 
1997625,20944053,2014-10-08,14498962,Sophie,"Me and my sister absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful studio flat! The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped & there was lots of storage space too. The neighbourhood was very friendly, plus it is close to bus stops that take you downtown for only a dollar. We would definitely book this accommodation again!"
1997625,21187561,2014-10-12,14194260,Zack,Ann was very accommodating and kind. The room was very clean and well kept in a wonderful neighborhood. Overall the experience was great
1997625,21819969,2014-10-25,16000649,Angel,She sent me all the necessary information in advance. The apartment was very clean and I had all things that could be necessary for staying there. She even also had something for me in the fridge for the first day. Fabulous.
1997625,21898704,2014-10-26,22043964,Natalia,Ann's guest house was beautiful. Perfect for two people. The kitchenette was gorgeous and I loved the studio style layout. Ann was also very accommodating and responsive to our special requests.  I would definitely stay here again!
1997625,23489692,2014-12-02,5545162,Lynn,"The studio was very nice.  Comfortable bed, nice sitting area, kitchenette with plenty of dishware and a table.  The bathroom had a nice cabinet for hanging clothes and storing folded clothes.  The bathroom shower doorway is very narrow.  My husband is a moderately big guy, so he had to turn sideways to get through the shower opening.  The place has two french doorways, one is the main entrance and the second leads to a cozy, private patio.  During November it was warm enough during the day to leave the doors open.  The guy living upstairs is very friendly and gave us recommendations for places to eat.  He is quiet.  We could hear when he walked above us, but he seemed to either be at work or out so it wasn't an issue.  We saw Ann's husband a few times... a really nice guy.  We would definitely stay again.  The studio has a nice stained concrete floor, high ceilings, and lots of windows.  Plenty of room for two people.  A full sized couch, ottoman, TV, and a working desk.  We didn't need air conditioning.  The heat worked just fine when we needed it in the evening.  Location was excellent.  We were able to walk to coffee houses, restaurants, and grocery stores.  Nice neighborhood to walk around just north of the place.  Easy drive to downtown.  Seemed very clean and safe to walk around downtown Austin.  The studio is in the back yard.  There is a small two bedroom cottage in front that was also rented out.  The yard felt private with large shade tree, lots of fall leaves, and tall bamboo trees that created a private natural fence around the yard.  There is a patio with table, chairs, and swing to share.  It was pleasant to hang out there, drink a beer, and chat with the upstair's tenant and Ann's husband.  Oh, and a small laundry room with washer and dryer available.  If it is available next time we visit our daughter, we would definitely stay there again."
1997625,25496966,2015-01-18,15787577,Bernardo,"This review is from my business partner who stayed at this wonderful studio. 
""I stayed at this beautiful studio for 5 weeks and I can't recommend it highly enough! The place is chic, super comfortable, quiet, and everything you need has been thoughtfully provided. I have stayed in many places around the globe and this one is by far one of the best. The hosts Anne and Scott are also fantastic in their attention to detail, quick response when you need something, providing privacy and making you feel welcome!"" "
1997625,27488086,2015-03-05,27913074,Bobby,"Great cozy spot in a fantastic location. Very easy to work with host, nice amenities throughout the space. I would highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks Ann!"
1997625,27821890,2015-03-12,28834290,Sarah,"Even though we never got the opportunity to meet, Ann provided detailed instructions for everything we needed. The studio was just like it was pictured and as first time airbnbers, we liked the inside lock that couldn't be unlocked from the outside. Our favorite thing was definitely the bikes which we toured Austin with on our way to Zilker park! (That and the towels smelled amazing!) "
1997625,28121570,2015-03-18,3564100,John-Ryan,"This is a well put together AirBnB that is perfect for a single or couple. I rented it for SXSW Interactive as I wanted a spot to get away from the noise when I needed. It's a studio and so you have everything in one room, but it's open concept enough to feel larger than an average studio. The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are nice. There is a fantastic record store (Antoine's) about a mile or so away. It's walkable, but a long walkable and a few spots are close. Super easy to get an Uber downtown or wherever you need. There is an upstairs neighbor that you will hear, but nothing too bad. Ann was prompt and personable. Would stay here again when I return to Austin. "
1997625,30541884,2015-04-24,5973954,Lisa,"I really enjoyed my stay in the studio, it was comfy, clean and well equipped.  It is in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood and within walking distance of both the university and a couple of supermarkets.  It is also very close to bus stops to get to downtown.  Ann was quick to get back to me with any questions I had, and provided all the information I needed for my stay.  "
1997625,31455905,2015-05-05,28912720,Marlee,"Stayed at Ann's place with my fiance for a week - loved every minute in Austin and at the house. It's a lovely studio, well-decorated, and very clean! We felt right at home. The use of the bikes was also great for getting around - Austin is very bike friendly! Quiet neighborhood just north of the city, but not so far away that you can't easily get to the downtown area.  Ann was a wonderful host and the house was equipped with everything we could have needed - right down to the sugar for our coffee. We would stay there again and would recommend her place to anyone looking for an Austin get-away!"
1997625,43009457,2015-08-16,12013563,Chase,The property is in a wonderful location in the heart of Hyde Park.  The accommodations were clean and wonderful; couldn't have asked for more. 
1997625,47675043,2015-09-21,39296176,Matthew,"The neighborhood, house, and accommodations were fantastic for two adults.  We spent a weekend exploring Austin and this was a great home base.  The backyard with patio and lighting is a great place to sit and relax. "
1997625,50434810,2015-10-12,19052666,Logan,"Everything was exactly as described, and Ann was great in communicating throughout the booking process and communicating clearly about the residence and the rules. The studio is in a lovely residential urban neighborhood, and we really appreciated the house manual that provides some suggestions for dining and attractions in the immediate area."
1997625,52684940,2015-11-01,24293027,Susan,Our host was incredible.  We arrived just after a terrible storm had hit the city.  The outdoor patio cushions had been brought indoors to insure they were dry if we intended to enjoy the patio after the rain quit.  She even made a trip to make the key easier to access so we wouldn't get wet.  Very thoughtful.  The unit is just perfect.  Lovely quiet backyard location with adjoining private patio and spacious bath.  Clean and fresh. Will stay again when the opportunity to visit Austin comes again. Relaxing space. 
1141635,4871133,2013-05-29,6169370,Shadan,Michelle is an amazing host!!! Her apartment is cozy and clean and she has the most adorable and well behaved  pets ever! She was always available if we had any questions and was really sweet. I would definitely stay with her again. She went far and beyond what a hotel would do to please their guests. 
1141635,5199193,2013-06-17,2206874,Johnathan,Michelle was an amazing host. This was my first time in Austin since my job interview and she made me feel so welcome to this new city along with her adorable pets! The place was as pictured and clean. She recommended food places to go to and even spent some time with me after my stay at her place! It was a pleasure meeting her and booking a stay at her place.
1141635,5334795,2013-06-24,6990896,Suzanna,Michelle was wonderful and was very accommodating to my changing schedule!! She and her pets were extremely welcoming! Location was convenient to a class I was taking in North Austin and the room worked out well for me. Thanks Michelle! 
1141635,5480494,2013-07-01,7173695,Ambreen,I am so happy that I found Michelle! My friend and I decided on a last minute trip to Austin and she was extremely helpful and let us stay for the weekend! She was a marvelous host and we had a blast getting to know her. She is super sweet and made sure that we had a great time. We'll definitely be staying with her again next time we're in Austin! 
1141635,5688320,2013-07-11,5509395,Josh,"Michelle was great, she even helped me carry my bags upstairs! She keeps the apartment at a warm 83 degrees but you're free to lower it a little bit if you're not accustomed to the Texas heat yet. If you're not an early riser though don't expect wake up with it still set low! Fantastic stay overall, very nice décor & amenities. I'd recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a room!"
1141635,5800422,2013-07-16,7378372,Wayne,Michelle was a gracious host...and the apartment was clean and comfortable.I would definately reccomend to a friend.Thanks again!
1141635,5856670,2013-07-19,7076795,Alejandro,"Michelle's place was very nice and clean. It felt like home. Michelle is   very opened and honest and that's something I appreciate. She loves animals, so don't mess with them :D. I really enjoyed my stay and I would definitively repeat it."
1141635,5897714,2013-07-21,7318971,Luisa,She is amazing ; friendly and fun. The room is big and clean  and her pets are adorable.
1141635,6025845,2013-07-27,6527983,Heaven,I really enjoyed my stay with Michelle. Her home is clean and tidy and the room was very cozy. She was wonderfully accommodating and did everything she could to make my stay a pleasant one. She even hosted a little dinner in my honor. I look forward to staying with her in the future! :) Thank you Michelle for inviting me into your lovely home!
1141635,6060871,2013-07-28,7412427,Ellen,"Nice neighborhood and nice host. I didn't end up staying the night since I had more driving energy left in me, but host was very helpful."
1141635,7024549,2013-09-03,5657998,Peter,"Michelle was a great host.  The place was nice and clean and convenient, and she was very friendly and helpful.  Hope to be back in Austin sometime and stay there again!"
1141635,7329486,2013-09-16,4014555,Ann,"This place was a good deal for Austin and for the price. Our room was clean and comfortable and we had all the privacy we wanted. Michelle is a wonderful person and not only kind but also had a birthday card and gift waiting for us (my husband's birthday) on arrival. Also, Michelle was very open to clear communication and feedback."
1141635,7659816,2013-09-28,8978790,Jesse & Darcy,"Michelle was very cute and funny! We enjoyed getting to know her animals especially cats with mohawks! :) Michelle was a great host who was willing to answer any questions we had about Austin! We also got her into Freebirds and introduced her into baked potatoes and bbq! So if you ever stay with her be sure to bring the potatoes! :) We had a fun little hike on mt. something and really loved the view! Even when it was close to the edge! :) Would definitely stay with her again she is a blast! Also if your there be sure to go to Bangers, BlackHeart, and Kerbey Lane! :) "
1141635,8146604,2013-10-17,3503783,Natasha,"Michelle was kind and friendly, she answers any questions that you may have and is very hospitable. If you dry your hair after you shower, you may want to bring your own blow dryer, other than that she has everything you need in the bathroom from towels to hair wash, except for maybe face wash. Her cat is ADORABLE. She has 2 cats and a dog, but there's this one particular cat that keeps on trying to go into your room b/c it's the forbidden room so she'll run in there any chance she gets. I found it really cute and funny, it was like a game with this tiny feline friend. "
1141635,8252621,2013-10-22,8440547,Darleen,"Michelle was such a wonderful host! This was my first time using Airbnb, and it was a great experience. She was nice enough to give us some tips and even told us which route to take to avoid traffic. Her pets are super friendly too, we were tempted to smuggle her cat Daisy home with us. ;) My boyfriend and I would definitely stay at Michelle's lovely home again the next time we're in Austin!"
1141635,8375752,2013-10-28,230439,Alex,"Simple, conveniently located, friendly space with very sweet pets.  Wasn't there long but very comfortable."
1141635,8424563,2013-10-29,9523545,Mick,"I was only there for a night but I felt very well cared for by Michelle. I'm a cat lover and she has the coolest cat I have ever met. I would recommend there place to anyone looking for  a quiet, comfortable place to stay.
"
1141635,8556758,2013-11-04,8522712,Oscar,"Michelle has been a great host. I stayed with her during my last 2 visits to Austin. Place was very clean and home-y, as expected, and her cats are always delightful housemates. I even accidentally left my laptop there, and Michelle was nice enough to hold on to it for me and arrange a pickup time. I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Austin!"
1141635,8607249,2013-11-07,9761670,Sofia,Michelle was an amazing host with the most wonderful pets. The room in nice and comfortable and the flat homely. If you miss your pets (or like us miss having pets) this is the place for you- the animals simply shower you with love if you wish to pet them and are very well behaved. We would definitely stay there again- awesome experience!
1141635,8737494,2013-11-14,9828758,Kevin,Cozy apartment & bedroom.  Great hosts and will definately stay again.
1141635,8778873,2013-11-18,5839496,Barbara,"We stayed at Michelle's place for 3 nights during the Formula 1 race! Our first Airbnb experience, and it was great! The place is very quite, the room and the flat is exactly as nice as on the pictures. She has the most welcoming dog and two cats. They are very guest friendly. Our late arrival was prearranged and was no problem at all. We got such good directions from Michelle, we found the place very easy. We loved that downtown is only 15 minutes and COTA (Circuit of the Americas) is only 30 minutes drive. Thank you Michelle and Usbaldo for our very comfortable stay."
1141635,8830543,2013-11-19,10071272,Sasha,Michelle was very prompt in her communications.  Her place is very clean.  The furnishings were quite nice.  Her pets are very sweet.  I was only there overnight for a few hours but it was a very restful experience.  I would definitely recommend her as a hostess.

1141635,9007698,2013-12-01,4305594,Yangye,Michelle is a very nice host that we can well communicate. Her home is clean and comfortable. We had a great time staying in her apartment.

1141635,9359923,2013-12-23,7450096,Marisa,Michelle was such a warm and welcoming host. The room was exactly as depicted --- clean and comfortable. 
1141635,9529677,2014-01-01,10532304,Shelly,"Michelle was the best hostess any airbnb guest could ask for! I felt very at home with Michelle. She is kindhearted and accommodating, making sure that you are comfortable in your home-away-from-home. Having never visited Austin before, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 

She went above and beyond my expectations from the very beginning…when I forgot my directions and was without a GPS, she texted me the route to her place! She was a lifesaver when I forgot a few items from home as well! She offered me tips for where-to-go and what-to-do during my stay. Her apartment is located in a gated community with a short drive to the city, making it convenient for any tourist. 

I will most definitely stay with Michelle on my next trip to Austin. To sum up my experience, Michelle has set the gold-star-standard for an airbnb hostess! Bravo!"
1141635,9810395,2014-01-11,10814294,Sierra,I stayed with Michelle during my transition to Austin.  She was very hospitable and made our stay such a pleasant experience.  I highly recommend staying here if you are spending a few days in Austin!
1141635,9904412,2014-01-18,4422172,Scott,"Michelle is a true host, welcoming, accommodating, informative, at ease, she has a warm spirit about her, her pets are chill but friendly, why she even offered some of her breakfast in the morning, not that one should expect that, just expect open hearted ness from Michelle! "
1141635,9947199,2014-01-20,8027883,Luca,Michelle and Usbaldo are amazing hosts. I had two unforgettable nights in Austin! They showed me the nightlife and the city. The room is clean and quiet.
1141635,10071022,2014-01-28,9172894,Keenan,The room is alright. Michelle is as pleasant as a host can be.
1141635,10124153,2014-02-01,11332804,Eric,I couldn't have asked for a better host for my first Airbnb experience.  Michelle was extremely welcoming and the accommodations were perfect for my purposes (I was staying with her over the course of several weeks when first moving to Austin and looking for an apartment). 
1141635,10140743,2014-02-02,7877135,Josh,Convenient North Austin location. The bed was comfy and the space very clean.

My girlfriend & I are in the process of moving back to Austin and it was so nice staying with someone who's so much fun and that had so many recommendations for good food & great music. Michelle's apartment was really cute, comfortable and spacious as well. She had the sweetest pets in the world too! We would definitely stay with them again before moving back down. They were really really great and super welcoming! We're definitely hoping to stay in touch with them upon moving back!"
1141635,10679647,2014-03-03,109885,Mike,"Very accomidating, room as described, and a functional gym with well maintained equipment.  Got what I paid for and would gladly stay again."
1141635,10781558,2014-03-07,6314435,Swaroop,"Michelle's place is awesome and just as advertised. She also makes really good muffins so that is a big plus :). I didn't get a chance to meet Michelle because of my schedule, but I'd stay at the place again. "
1141635,10875821,2014-03-11,11002595,Roberta,"This was my first time using airbnb and it was great,  Michelle and her boyfriend are nice people, the place is nice and very clean, very recommendable!"
1141635,11209705,2014-03-24,311924,Marty,"I stayed with Michelle and Usbaldo for a quick weekend in Austin. They were just about as warm and inviting as AirBnB hosts could be, taking me out to dinner to Kome Japanese restaurant and inviting me out for a night on the town with their friends on Rainey St. Oh, and unless you don't mind sleeping with Michelle's pets, I'd suggest closing your bedroom door at night!"
1141635,11498495,2014-04-05,13302025,Mike,"The apartment is clean and spacious, in a safe, friendly, working neighborhood.  The wifi (and printer!) are fast and easy.  I had full access to the kitchen, including fridge, shared the living room, balcony, and bathroom and had a wash sink to myself.  Michelle and Usbaldo are a wonderful couple and perfect hosts, supported by lovable Hannah (dog) and 2 cats.  They work long hours, so I had the apt to myself during the daytime that I was home.  They are both super friendly and helpful (not intrusive).  All made me feel welcome and comfortable."
1141635,11546804,2014-04-07,6169370,Shadan,Thanks to both of you for another great stay! Michelle is always so sweet and helpful! 
1141635,11726382,2014-04-13,11672170,Steven,"Great place to stay. Excellent communication and a simple, pleasant room with friendly pets."
1141635,11782583,2014-04-14,14097334,Dara,"Michelle's room was perfect for me - it was nice & clean & very comfortable! Unfortunately she was out of town so I didn't get to meet her, but thru the power of e-mail & WhatsApp we were able to communicate & organise everything (I was visiting from abroad & did not have a local US phone number). She also recommended a great little Vietnamese place Pho Hong, just down the road. I got along well with her cats as they didn't bother me at all apart from coming to say ""hello"" when I first came into the house. I'd recommend Michelle's room.

I got there by public transport, but the buses were efficient and ran on time. Also very cheap, only $1 or if you plan to use the bus more than once buy a 24 hour pass for only $2. Valid for 24 hours from when you first use it, which is a great idea, as in my experience most cities only allow you to travel on the same calendar day even if you buy the card later in the day."
1141635,11874334,2014-04-17,14020064,Nate,"Michelle and Usbaldo were excellent hosts. They were very hospitable and friendly, and made every effort to make sure our stay in Austin was a fun one. We felt we made new friends in them and even got to hang out with them down on Rainey St after we had moved on from their place. The room was clean, orderly, comfortable and exactly as advertised. Their pets were quite friendly and hung out with us during our stay, rarely making noise. I would absolutely recommend staying with them! "
1141635,12142057,2014-04-23,14507985,Sophie,Michelle is an amazing host! Shes in a great location near public transportation and things to do. Also a very quick easy drive to the center of Austin. She has wonderful pets...two cats and a dog that you will just fall in love with. Shes a very genuine person who will help you figure out what to do day or night. We lucked out and got to hang out a lot together and had a really good time! I recommend staying at her place!
1141635,16391474,2014-07-27,2824168,Maria Jesus,"I have been 3 month at Michelle and Usbaldo (and Daysi, Poi and Hanna) place and I felt like at home. They are so kind, helped me a lot (even the cats), they are clean, so friendly and I have spended really good moment with them. But, there is also a bad part of my experience that I am going to miss them so much! I can say they aren't my airbnb hosts because, they are two new friends! So, I hardly recommend to stay at Michelle´s place. "
1141635,16862160,2014-08-03,7271100,Katherine & Michael,"Michelle was a wonderful host for my husband and I and our dog! We were so happy we could bring him with us and he and her dog Hannah hit if off very nicely:) Michelle is a great communicator and very friendly. She met us at her apartment when we got there and showed us around, plus was available for any and all questions. She recommended a dog park we took our pup to and we loved it! Her location is about 15 minutes away from central and south Austin, longer in traffic, but very easy to get around to and from. We also discovered that she was down the street from some great Austin breweries so we enjoyed checking those out! We all (dog included) had a nice stay at Michelle's and she couldn't have been a more pleasant person to visit! "
1141635,17243464,2014-08-09,17738240,Cindy,"Michelle, we thank you for responding to our request to stay at your apartment. You made us so happy to offer it at such a great price. We were able to spend more time together. Right away you made us feel welcomed and it did feel like home. Because at the end of the day neither one of us wanted to leave. Austin was so much different then what we're use to but in a fantastic way. Oh and yes just like you said both north and south Austin are oh so different lol. We enjoyed the stay an keep up the good job. 
Cindy & Omar"
1141635,17392290,2014-08-11,10745071,Rebecca,"The description of the room is exact. I loved the dog and cats that lived there, too. Michelle was very accomodating and always prompt with responses to questions I had when I booked. The area was easy to navigate to the places I had on my agenda. I would consider staying there again."
1141635,17599967,2014-08-14,19604101,Pradeep,My stay at Michelle's place was very pleasant. She made my stay very comfortable. I was free to use their kitchen. Her pets are very friendly too.  
1141635,18386290,2014-08-25,13581053,Thais,She is a sweet heart and really comprehensive. I would do it again! Her pets are lovely. 
1141635,18651709,2014-08-30,14891178,Puli,"Great place.  Convenient location.  Cool pets and a friendly, hospitable couple who make themselves available for you to ask questions about sightseeing, food/bars or just to simply chit chat."
1141635,18822018,2014-09-01,12828222,Ashley-Ann,"Fantastic place, the BEST animals!, kind people, clean room, what else could you need!?

I can't wait to return Wednesday night on my way back home!

"
1141635,18972723,2014-09-03,8678108,Tricia,"Michelle and Usbaldo were both very friendly and welcoming. They had a lot of great ideas for how to spend time in Austin and I wish I had another day with them. Their pets, especially Daisy the cat, were super chill and fun to be with. I would definitely stay with them again. "
1141635,19017997,2014-09-04,132361,Sudheer,I had a pleasant time at Michelle's place. I didn't spend much time. I came in late and left early. The room and bed were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and convenient. Her pets were friendly. She and her boyfriend helped me find a place to get dinner late at night. Thank you for hosting me. 
1141635,19084744,2014-09-06,12828222,Ashley-Ann,"   Another fantastic experience at Michelle's.  She met my friend and I up at a local bar and we had an awesome time!  

   Super clean again, comfy space and great accommodations :)

   Hope to see her again soon!"
1141635,19448271,2014-09-12,14230069,Roxane,"I already left a review on Michelle as I booked some more days when we were at her place. In this first review I was saying how awsome she and her boyfriend are, that we had at their place our best airbnb experience ever ( and we have been in a lot of places!), the room, the house, the pets, the location close to everywhere, everything was perfect and beyond expectations...Michelle even took us to drink amazing blue margaritas! But what I am happy to be able to tell is this review is how good a person Michelle is : our car died while we were still in Austin but had already left her place, I called her for help and she immediatly accepted, doing things even a friend would find annoying to do, without her our trip was done, she saved our road trip, she is simply the best, a beautiful and caring person you would be lucky to stay at! Thank you again for everything Michelle! And sorry for the spelling mistakes, but it is from the heartb:)"
1141635,19755118,2014-09-17,14230069,Roxane,"We had the best time at Michelle's place ! And as we are on a road trip around the US we have tried a lot of Airbnb places before, but for sure this was the best place ever. First Michelle and her boyfriend Usvaldo  - and even her pets (all three of them adorable, we wanted to take them with us when we left) are super friendly, fun, easy and interesting to talk to. 
Their place is perfect, the room is great, everything is clean and welcoming, the bathroom is big. And their apartment is nice and really well situated, in a calm and safe neighbborood, we were close to everything, never more than 15 minutes away from anywhere we wanted to go. 
Michelle even took time to take us to a great taco place where we drank awsome blue margaritas, we also had a great evening where she cooked for us a delicious soup and we spent the evening talking and laughing. So  obviously Michelle's place is highly recommended ! I don't think you will be able to find a best place in Austin, and the great thing is it isn't even expensive... So don't hesitate and you will have the best Airbnb experience you can have !
"
1141635,20249986,2014-09-26,4928495,Kim,"Michelle and Usbaldo are the best hosts.  I had just moved to Austin and stayed with them while I was looking for an apartment.  They are very gracious hosts and very welcoming.  After just staying there for a week, they are already good friends that I plan to continue to stay in touch with while living in Austin.  The apartment and room is very clean and the bed is super comfortable.  I should also mention the 4-legged friends are super loving and friendly. I miss Daisy!! I definitely recommend staying here! Great experience!!  "
1141635,21173479,2014-10-12,2936334,Marley,"Michele and Usbaldo are excellent host. I stayed at their place during ACL (Austin City Limits) fest. Their apartment is very spacious and pet friendly (they have two cats and a Labrador). I've been to Austin a few times but never saw anything outside of 6th St. Michele and Usbaldo mentioned some great restaurants around the city. And if you're into coffee, check out the Monkey Nest. If you're planning to come to Austin, I'd definitely suggest booking with Michele and Usbaldo. "
1141635,21269883,2014-10-13,2363368,Jessica,"Michelle & Usbaldo were wonderful hosts. Their place is very comfortable and all of the animals are friendly! They made me feel welcome & made sure I had everything that I needed. I was only there one night, but my short stay was great!"
1141635,21570399,2014-10-19,22631853,Oleg,Had a great stay at Michelle's place. Didn't have a chance to meet Michelle and Usbaldo but room was clean and comfortable and I it was great place for my short stay in Austin
1141635,21692220,2014-10-21,8438824,Geoffrey,"If you need a cheap accommodation for the night, not too far from city center, and do not mind a dog and two cats (these were very quiet) in the apartment (very quiet neighborhood by the way), simply go for it! The host is also very helpful if you have any questions about what to do in Austin."
1141635,21774517,2014-10-23,22251182,Yu-Ling,I was looking for a overnight night staying in Austin and the room is comfy n the host are great. Very friendly n helpful 
1141635,22229332,2014-11-02,16173660,Anaïs,"Michèle et Usbaldo sont d'excellents hôtes. Le fait de pouvoir partager la cuisine et le salon est vraiment pratique, sympathique et nous donne l'impression d'être ""comme chez soi"". Les animaux partagent notre vie et rendent le séjour joyeux, avec particulièrement la présence d'Hannah, la chienne, qui est presque comme une personne, dans la maison.
Le logement est un peu éloigné de Downtown, mais il ne faut pas oublier que le Texas est immense et que rien n'est proche de rien...sauf les hôtels 5*...qui ne sont pas à notre portée!
"
1141635,23880744,2014-12-13,16786372,Mark,Michelle and Usbaldo were great hosts! The space was as described and Daisy the cat was adorable. Look forward to staying again in the future.
1141635,24086189,2014-12-19,24428293,Jerome,Good place to stay. Michelle and Usbaldo are nice people. Pets are also very friendly.
1141635,24334134,2014-12-26,3398621,Nikita,"Wonderful hostess with excellent room! The room had everything you need, also had access to a refrigerator, and most impressive - the Michelle gave me her bike and I ride it two days! Thank you very much for these two days, they were very pleasant thanks to the excellent location and the warm welcome."
1141635,24448307,2014-12-28,23415970,David,"One dog and two cats are very friendly, I like playing with them. Also, the bed everything is very good. "
1141635,24888958,2015-01-03,6169370,Shadan,Always a great stay with them! Both very nice and helpful. Sweetest pets too! 
1141635,25376102,2015-01-13,8678251,Victor,"Usbaldo and Michelle were both warm, welcoming, and sociable.  This is a return trip for me and was just as nice as the first time I visited.  They even provided misc. toiletries, snacks, and even earplugs (didn't need the plugs as it was quiet throughout the day/evening.)  The pets were super cute,  friendly, and entertaining.  I even got offered some scrumptious food&drink ^_^.  The place was spotless and tastefully decorated."
1141635,25402277,2015-01-14,8678251,Victor,great stay.  had to extend trip; hosts were very accommodating.  would happily stay again.  
1141635,25482534,2015-01-17,6839404,Han,"I enjoyed my stay at Michelle and Usbaldo's place. With Michelle's great patience, I finally found their apartment. It was interesting that there are two apartment suits adjacent each other with lots of things in common. I went to the wrong one. But Michelle directed me to the right place by phone. Thanks for her patience. "
1141635,25753144,2015-01-25,4368427,Eli,"This is a great place! Both Michelle and Usbaldo were great hosts. They even lent me their bike and when they found I was riding in the dark bought me a couple lights to put on so I could ride a little more safely. Their place is very clean, and their dog, Hannah, is the sweetest dog around. Normally I am a little afraid of dog-strangers without a formal introduction with another human so I'll admit I was a little hesitant to walk in when they were not home. But right when I opened the door Hannah just licked my hand and then I knew she was just plain harmless. The two cats are really nice too. One named Daisy likes sleeping with you and she is really cuddly, though you don't necessarily have to sleep with her. They are really nice people to chat with and they enjoy the company. The area itself is nice too. There is this really cheap and tasty Mexican food stand walking distance from the apartment. Fill yourself up for under $10. "
1141635,25866397,2015-01-27,26560677,Michael,Michelle and Usbaldo were very welcoming. They had a very lovely home and their animals were adorable. They were very knowledgable of the area.This was my first airbnb experience and I can't recommend them enough. 
1141635,26070731,2015-02-02,24905379,William,Nice people.  Comfortable bed.  Very sweet dog and cats.
1141635,26329151,2015-02-09,11409636,Alex,"Michelle and Usbaldo are so awesome and friendly people.
I stayed almost a week but I didn't get any lonely. 
She is such a cool and funny dog and she gets excited to any guest.
Plus, poi and daisy 2 cats are really funny too. 
I miss them a lot.
You'll get more warms than any other luxury hotel."
1141635,26657059,2015-02-16,9782524,Ellis,"Michelle and Usbaldo were the perfect hosts, it was like staying with two great friends. They were kind enough to invite us to hang out with their friends and we left Austin with a heavy heart. The bed is super comfy, which was amazing for us weary travellers! We also LOVED that they had pets, especially Hannah who is the cutest dog we have ever come across. Even if you are not an animal person, I promise you will be converted. 
The bus stops right outside their apartment, and as long as you follow the schedules, getting down town is easy. 
Could not recommend staying here enough. If you like friendly people who make you feel welcome in their home then this is ideal. Michelle and Usbaldo are welcome in Scotland anytime and we cannot wait to return one day. 
Thanks again guys! 
"
1141635,27038979,2015-02-23,24801374,David,Michelle was great and the room was just as posted.  I was lost and she directed me in with great directions.  She is very knowledgeable about Austin and I wish I had more than one quick night there.  Her dog is very friendly and only wanted to play with mine.  If I come back to Austin I will contact Michelle again.
1141635,27150099,2015-02-26,27863865,Tamsin,"We had an amazing stay with Michelle and Usbaldo, we loved Austin so much we even extended an extra night. Their pets are adorable, especially fuzzy paws poi :-) Michelle even brought back her birthday brownies to share with us. Thanks for a fab stay!!"
1141635,27191997,2015-02-27,27863865,Tamsin,"Had a great time with Michelle and Usbaldo. Their place is lovely and a good location to get around. All their pets are adorable, we did end up with a bit of a soft spot for fuzzy paws poi :-) Michelle even brought back her bday brownies from work to share with us! Thanks for a fab stay in beautiful Austin."
1141635,27724296,2015-03-10,26946119,Poe,"Both Michelle and Usbaldo are very nice and accommodating.  They quickly showed me around the house and let me know all the things that I could use during my stay.  The room was clean and comfy.

The place is very close to my workplace, so it's perfect for me while I was waiting for my car to arrive.

I will definitely stay at their place again!!"
1141635,27814890,2015-03-12,28002284,Stephen,"We were made to feel very welcome and their home is in a secure location. They went out of their way to help us with various requests and we were sorry not to be able to spend more time there. We thank them for their advice about what to do on Austin - we had a great time!
Thank you!"
1141635,28291459,2015-03-21,1814074,Daniel,Michelle and Osvaldo really came through in a pinch. A last minute job interview in Austin smack in the middle of SXSW event left few reasonably price rooms available. The River's came through for me perfectly.  Stay was short but sweet.
1141635,28388866,2015-03-23,10059851,Annie,"During my short stay in Austin, I didn't interact much with Michelle and Usbaldo, but I had a great experience staying at their place. Even though their place is small, the room is situated at the opposite side of the apartment, leaving you some privacy. Since their place is small, please expect to be running into contact with their friendly and adorable 2 cats and dog. 

All in all, the room and bathroom are clean. There are also amenities, such as shampoo and soap that are provided, which is always nice. The check-in and check-out process was easy. There are specific instructions on how to check-in on their Airbnb page and instructions. The only minor con to staying here is the location -- I thought it was quite far from downtown (about 20 min. drive w/o traffic). Since we stayed here for SXSW, taking an Uber there cost us around $30. I'm sure the rates are more reasonable during off-season. "
1141635,28684033,2015-03-28,22826085,Devyn,"My conversations with Michelle were very pleasant! Sadly circumstances prevented me from traveling to Austin, but I look forward to staying with them on a future visit!"
1141635,31043128,2015-05-01,29122772,Andrew,"It was my first airbnb stay I've ever done and there was a few mild worries on my part and mostly chose it because ""meh! It's close to my new job."" But it turns out that...

Michelle and Usbaldo are super awesome! I came down here to move to Austin and stayed with them for a month so I could find a place and by the end was kinda bummed that I ""moved out"". 

Also, the three creatures that live there are cuddly and awesome. 

Overall rate it ""an awesome month"" and any pitiful complaints I could make up (they didn't have a Ferrari for me to do donuts in) were negated by the simple fact that they were cool."
1141635,31229343,2015-05-03,31271975,Jieun,Michelle is very thoughtful. We could not meet her on the day of our arrival. But we felt very cozy and comfortable. Her pets are lovely!!! Please do not hesitate! This is the one you are looking for!
1141635,31853715,2015-05-10,30019748,Matt,"I enjoyed staying with Michelle and Usbaldo. They weren't around all that much, but Michelle happened to have her parents in town, so I perfectly  understand. When I did see them they were both friendly. Also, their cats and dog are very friendly and lots of fun. The place was clean and it was an excellent value. The only criticism I have is that communication could have been a bit better, but I think that was timing more than anything else, since Michelle's parents were in town."
1141635,33073769,2015-05-25,804211,Arlene,"Michelle and Usbaldo are perhaps the warmest airbnb hosts I've ever met till now. Very thoughtful and helping whenever I see them in the morning or night. Their pets are far more friendly, sensitive and attractive than what they described. For a person like me I had never had pets entering my bedroom, eventually I fall in love with their pets. To my surprise, I sense no pet smell at all in the entire apartment. It was truly a fabulous experience staying with them!

I only pity myself for having not ride their bike to roam around. I didn't use public transportation from their place,  mostly my various friends fetch me from there, or I booked Uber."
1141635,33416864,2015-05-27,32373603,Danielle,Michelle greeted us with open arms after we were on the road. We came into Austin to enjoy the city. She sat us down and gave us several things that would occupy our time. She has three very adorable friendly animals that we could not get enough of. We did not spend much time at her place but when we were there it was comfortable and she was more then happy to share any beverages and food. Very pleasant experience. Definitely will recommend for any friends traveling. Thank You!!! 
1141635,33512312,2015-05-29,31180193,Austin,Michelle was extremely friendly and accommodating. She was helpful with local knowledge and made the experience very laid back and pleasant. Her pets were very welcoming and cute. It was just what we were looking for :)
1141635,34772832,2015-06-12,29898324,Colleen,"Michelle and Usbaldo could not have been better hosts. They were accommodating, helpful and so sweet to us. I felt welcomed into their home immediately. They also have the best pets in the world! Overall, I couldn't have gotten luckier with my hosts. It was such a wonderful experience and the next time I visit Austin I'm choosing Michelle and Usbaldo! :) "
1141635,37246081,2015-07-05,6545647,Charles,"We had a great stay at Michelle and Usbaldo's home! We only met Michelle, but she was extremely friendly and helpful during our time there. The bed is very comfortable and there's more than enough space in the bedroom, especially if you plan to spend the day exploring Austin (which btw is a quick 15 minute drive away when there's no traffic). They have two cats and one dog, all of which are extremely adorable -- we were almost tempted to take them with us! Overall, a great accommodation. Definitely recommend! "
1141635,37531029,2015-07-07,12849001,Kent,"The host was warm and welcoming. She had a lot of advice, really nice pets, and a great bartender. The only improvement I would advice is to find a way to make the room a little less stuffy. I would room with both of them again when in Austin. "
1141635,38071555,2015-07-12,37848518,Emma,"Michelle and Usbaldo were extremely welcoming; it was like being greeted by friends! They (including the dog and two cats) were very sweet to my dog and everyone got along well. My sister and I fit comfortably on the large bed and enjoyed the lovely private room. It had a very slight animal smell to it, but nothing too bad. Was probably just because the whole (very cute) apartment is carpeted. Accommodations were good and never had any trouble finding the place or getting around. Just don't park in reserved or car ports (I didn't see the reserved signs at night and got towed, unfortunately). These hosts were the friendliest and most helpful I've encountered yet and I would definitely book again."
1141635,39107636,2015-07-20,28594759,Matthew,"Michelle and Usbaldo were warm and welcoming hosts. Their friendliness is only matched by that of their animal family. Michelle provided a lot of fun suggestions of what to do in Austin, and the room was exactly as presented in the listing. I would recommend this stay to anyone. Thank you, Michelle and Usbaldo!"
728728,3546010,2013-02-15,973418,Valerie And Dan,"We had such a great welcome by Victoria. We arrived late and left in the am but she was very sweet and left us a breakfast basket. The house is very cute, clean and peaceful and the room a quiet heaven. She has 2 adorable dogs that we could not stop to play with. Victoria, Thanks for a restful night!"
728728,4326401,2013-04-28,956555,Matthew,"Victoria was a wonderful host, she has a lovely house and made us feel very at-home."
728728,10799348,2014-03-08,9052993,Joseph,"Highly recommended, a perfect hostess.  Would love to visit again."
728728,11076798,2014-03-19,12238995,Liz,"Staying at Victoria's was a wonderful experience. She was warm and welcoming.  Being from Philadelphia, we had a lot of questions about the Austin area, which Victoria was excited to help us with. She sent us to the best BBQ spot and more! Victoria's home is very clean and accessible to downtown Austin. We really enjoyed staying with her and her two sweet dogs. Liz and Ben"
728728,11525761,2014-04-06,7122125,Karsten,"I can highly recommend staying at Victorias place. It's a nice quiet neighborhood close to the airport and racetrack. Victoria is very friendly and a great host, she knows about things to see and where to go for the best meals. You really feel at home. The room is big and cosy with your own bathroom, nicely decorated."
728728,12618047,2014-05-06,12702190,Eric,"Where do I start! Victoria was such a lovely host. Austin was a great and fun city, but I have to say that Victoria is what made our experience wonderful. My partner and I stayed with her for 5 days and on our last day, we did not want to say goodbye. Her home was such a warm and cozy environment. Changa and Buddha, her two dogs, were full of love and friendliness that I almost packed them up with me =) On our first night there, Victoria made us a delicious meal when we got hungry, and every morning after that she had yummy breakfast burritos waiting in the fridge for us. Outside on her front porch she had a sign that read ""my home is your home"" and Victoria really lived up to that. We never once felt like strangers in a stranger'a home. The second we arrived she greeted us with a warm hug. On our fourth day there, she accompanied us in downtown where they were having Cinco de Mayo festivities. We had a refreshing beverage at a really cool restaurant, and then later on we had dinner at a very tastey diner. Victoria was a very thoughtful host; always making sure we felt comfortable. She was an absolute delight. Her home has become our home away from home whenever we visit Austin, and she has even become a friend to us. May I also mention that we are now the tios to two precious little animals. (We miss you Changa and Buddha!)
I highly recommend staying at Victorias home. It was an absolute joy!"
728728,18927910,2014-09-02,15049435,Emmalina,"Where do I begin?! Firstly Victoria was very prompt on replying to my request and pre-approved me so all went along quickly and smoothly. It was quite last minute and I was starting to panic a little. When I got there she was incredibly warm and welcoming offering me food, drinks etc. The room was perfect and the whole house was beautifully decorated with a relaxed vibe, plus it was SO clean! It was such a pleasure to meet Victoria and her best friend who was staying over. I managed to fit in a few chats in between hanging out with my friend. I always felt like we had plenty of privacy which I stated in the beginning was very important. Victoria really came through with all the goods, she was even nice enough to lend her car when we were desperate for food. Thanks again and again Victoria, looking forward to catching up in the near future. Sending you happiness and rainbows girl ;-)"
728728,20074848,2014-09-22,15280555,Marife,"I am a flight attendant and Im used to 4 and 5 star hotels. So as spoiled as I am at work I can only say I am amazed with Victoria Longoria and her hospitality and good taste to make any guest feel welcomed and comfortable.  I felt I was home.  Bernie and I had a blast.  She received us with some refreshments and snacks and in the morning she prepared breakfast.  But what was amazing was that since she knew Bernie was allergic to eggs she cooked him his tacos without the eggs. We went to the circuit of Americas for the 6 hour race, we went indoor skydiving, we raced karts at K1 and visited with Victoria the cathedral of Junk! Amazing! Actually we have already told Victoria to save our space for next year!!!!
I think I not only found a place I found a friend!  Thank you Victoria!  We miss you already! And Changa and Buddah! See you soon!"
728728,21641934,2014-10-20,7005737,Oliver,"Pro's:
Prolly impossible to find a nicer person to stay with. Nice crib and nice hounds. Everything is exactly as it is in the pictures and she even leaves out toast/tea/English muffins etc. super knowledgable about the area. Quiet street.
Con's:
It's def pretty far away from downtown, but that could be a positive depending. Only other thing was the bed is really a ikea futon. I'm a pretty big dude, so factor that into the review I'm giving. Not sure anything other than a smaller single person or petite couple would be comfy. I slept on the couch and hope she didn't think me a weirdo. Again, super nice lady."
728728,22083705,2014-10-29,511633,Kristina,"Comfortable, clean space in a beautiful home. Gracious host with a lovely fur family! Just about a $20 lyft into downtown where there is just about anything you could want for good or entertainment :) thanks for having me!"
728728,22352737,2014-11-04,8598244,Tegan,"Victoria was an amazingly awesome host! Her home is very welcoming, as are her two dogs. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my entire stay and could always rely on help and prompt responses when I contacted her! Most definitely recommend her place and will definitely stay with her again next time! "
728728,28093301,2015-03-17,28407360,Yuichiro,Awesome stay
728728,28137053,2015-03-18,28407360,Yuichiro,It was the great first air B&B experience for me.
728728,28180499,2015-03-19,28407360,Yuichiro,Victoria and two dogs are so friendly.
728728,28920219,2015-03-31,24420777,Erin,"Beautiful house with two awesome pets, very eco friendly, Victoria is an amazing person and very generous."
728728,31958919,2015-05-12,30816290,Christy,"Victoria is thee BEST! I had a great time. Her doggies are precious and so sweet, just like their owner. Her home was very inviting, tidy and spacious. I enjoyed every minute of my trip and most of all the interesting conversations we had. Thank you so much Victoria! "
728728,32161580,2015-05-15,16246154,Luke,Amazing host! Victoria was an outstanding host and just an all around good person too :)  I cannot recommend this beautiful accommodation enough
728728,32459488,2015-05-18,16246154,Luke,"The listing was exactly as expected, and Victoria was an excellent host! Definitely recommend if your looking for a quieter suburban neighbourhood that is close to central Austin"
728728,33209044,2015-05-25,33980909,Sandra,"We couldn't have asked for a better experience for our first  Airbnb stay, Victoria is incredibly sweet, inviting and personable. Victoria has a warm, beautiful house plus the dogs are the icing on the cake. Overall a great stay, definitely recommend staying with Victoria and we, ourselves will stay with her again. "
728728,34636415,2015-06-10,8979183,Elena,"Victoria's home was like walking into the most fantastic Frida Kahlo painting - we felt very welcomed and had an excellent stay - she has great map drawing skills and directed us to a delicious ""Interior Cuisine"" mexican restaurant - our only regret was not having more time to enjoy Victoria's company and soaking in all her great artwork - thanks again Victoria."
728728,47848786,2015-09-21,21040893,Linskey,Reunited and it felt so good. Second time staying there in as many years and it was just as great as the last visit. Victoria is an amazing host in an amazing place.
728728,49814053,2015-10-06,39874539,Stephanie,"Staying with Victoria was a wonderful experience - she was communicative, welcoming, and very pleasant.  I did not see her much throughout my stay but I knew she was available should I need anything. She has a great energy and presence and makes you feel at home the moment you  arrive. I highly recommend Victoria as a host. I had a wonderful visit and hope to make my way back there for another stay!"
728728,50133692,2015-10-09,24833570,Alessandro,"Victoria is an amazing Host!
She is very kind and helped us to book a cab and for other stuff.
Me and my friend had a really good time spent chatting and laughing with a good red wine glass :)
The place is really nice and really confortable above all for who has the need to find a place close to the Austin airport.
Absolutely suggested!"
728728,50649008,2015-10-13,41861735,Dillon,"We couldn't have asked for a better first Airbnb experience. Victoria is a warm and welcoming host and we felt right at home at her place. Her home is clean, comfortable, and pretty hip if I might add. I enjoyed hanging out with her sweet dogs, Buddha and Changa. They have a lot of love to give. I think I found my home away from home in Austin. Thanks again, Victoria! "
728728,51402268,2015-10-19,20989509,Roger,"Was impressed with well organized home, hosting us and another person. Victoria responded positively to a personal request. Had right amount of guidance without being intrusive."
728728,52036551,2015-10-26,26244875,Tom,"My first time using Airbnb and it was a great experience!  Victoria was a wonderful host, the room and bathroom were clean and tidy.  If I return to Austin I'll be checking to see if Victoria's place is free first!"
728728,52809824,2015-11-01,30220107,Matteo,"After my flight back to Europe was cancelled and postponed to the day after, I found this place very close to the airport. Victoria approved my request instantly even with such short notice and gave me such a great hospitality at her place during my stay. She really takes care of her guests: she helped me with everything I needed and very kindly treated me to dinner and most of all made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed our long conversations and I cannot forget about the delicious breakfast she prepared in the morning. No doubts I will go back to her place when in Austin. "
1373283,7166136,2013-09-09,3752531,Sarah,"Adam was always easy to get a hold of and communication was timely before 
and after my stay. His house was clean, comfortable, and a perfect fit for 
me and my friends. Adam has a neighbor who watches over the house, so when 
we realized there was no coffee pot, she quickly went and got one for us. 
All in all it was a good stay. If you’re not comfortable with public 
transportation (city buses etc.) I would highly recommend renting a car 
otherwise you’ll have to take cabs. Adam, thanks for all your help and the 
great tips, we had a wonderful time enjoying Austin!"
1373283,7710710,2013-09-30,4825040,Vy,"The night before Adam emailed me with all the information I would need for the stay.  It was nice to have everything in one email than to search through all past communications.  Adam is very open and communicative and even gave me his neighbor's contact info if I ran into some trouble. 
The house is in an older Austin community so obviously houses are older and their appearance is totally up to the owner's care.  Saying that, the neighborhood was quiet and neighbors are friendly. Adam totally redid the house and its comfortable, clean, and nice.  My husband and I stayed in the back room and the bed is comfortable and the room gets amazing natural light.  It was awesome to wake up to the room getting lighter but not in the uncomfortable way where the sun just pours into the room.  We originally had planned for a couple of friends to join us and they had to cancel at the last minute but the house would have comfortably fit them as well.  A 5th guest could have stayed over at the house as well because the couch is large and one could easily fall asleep on it too.  The house is conveniently located as we got everywhere in the city pretty fast. 
I am a snacker and we did have to go to the local HEB to pick up a few things like coffee grounds, sugar, and small snacks.  Adam provides a good chunk of things but bring your all own personal toiletries. At past BnB stays, if I forgot shampoo or something the host usually had extra to spare for forgetful guests.  I would stay at Adam's place again.  "
1373283,8416410,2013-10-29,9410075,Tore,"Staying at North by Southwest was a great experience, and Adam is an excellent host! He was very responsive and provided us with all the information we needed before the trip.

The house is perfect for 2-4 people to stay for a weekend trip. It is very clean, stocked with everything needed such as towels and kitchen supplies, and there is an open line of communication if you need anything else. Staying here definitely beat choosing a hotel because of the comfortable common area and yard. Commuting to downtown Austin or South Congress was a quick 5 minute drive.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, and will stay here again next time I visit Austin."
1373283,10436973,2014-02-18,11554238,Guillermo,"Adam was very helpful during the whole stay. If you have a car it's a perfect place to stay (no much taxis in Austin!). The house has an awesome style, good beds and bathroom and a guitar! Beautiful place to stay! Also, you can check in and out at any time, which was very useful for us. Indefinitely recommend it!"
1373283,10890434,2014-03-11,2946559,Nathaniel,"We had a great stay in Austin for SXSW. Adam was very responsive to our inquiries and was more than accommodating.  He was even a bit flexible with our arrival time, which was fantastic. We had even left some items at the house which Adam shipped back to us, hassle free! Wonderful experience!"
1373283,11801186,2014-04-15,12878946,Dan,Awesome experience and Adam is an excellent host. House was very clean with all the amenities you need. Location is just a short drive to most any popular destinations. Thumbs up!!
5873238,29704047,2015-04-11,6873968,Lauren,"chris and his wife are totally precious--they both met us when we arrived to show us around and point out all of the features/important things to know about the casita and to help us figure out the best way to park (you can literally park right at the door of the casita since it is sort of in an alley). such a cute neighborhood--if you've never been to hyde park in Austin before, just trust me that this is a nice area to stay in when you're there!"
5873238,29997096,2015-04-15,14464160,Holly,"The casita was great. So clean and new, perfect studio and wonderful location. I loved it. The hosts are amazing and so friendly, felt like I had already known them. So accommodating to me. I will most def be back!!!! Thanks guys for a wonderful stay!"
5873238,30060589,2015-04-16,88096,Aaron,Super cute and bright little space in Hyde Park with all the basic amenities.  Chris was very friendly and communicative and showed me around the space.  All around great experience!
5873238,30113644,2015-04-17,31161757,Lacie,"We were immediately welcomed upon arrival to this cozy casita. Hosts were helpful and available but not intrusive. The casita was clean and bright inside. Parking was tight on site but I was thankful to not have to park on the street! I love the Hyde park neighborhood. It's a perfect location between north and south Austin, full of native and historic character. It's quiet but super close to everywhere you could want to go. Chris was super accommodating with our check out time as well, which i was super thankful for! A great experience overall!  "
5873238,30238454,2015-04-19,17482129,Robert,"Chris was an excellent host.  From my arrival, he went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.  He was even able to help me find a solution to my leaving the key to my bike rack behind.  The casita was perfect - clean and comfortable.  The hyde park locatioin was central to everything Austin has to offer.  I will definitely be staying there again.  "
5873238,30466865,2015-04-22,2025016,Thomas,"Chris was an excellent host! The Casita is in Austin's loveliest neighborhood- Hyde Park. Close proximity to downtown and great spots like Kome, Taco Deli, Houndstooth Coffee, House Pizza, and In-n-Out Burger. The Casita has a wonderful amount of natural light and the area is very lush and green. The finish out feels very new and modern with all of the necessary amenities. Chris was very responsive and helpful. Overall our stay was extremely smooth. I would highly recommend this spot if you are visiting Austin and want a peaceful stay in a beautiful part of town."
5873238,30948289,2015-04-29,910989,Monique,Our host was very welcoming and always there for any questions we needed answered. The cottage was very nice and quiet and felt like you were the only house out there. My parents stayed there for a week and enjoyed the serenity.
5873238,31228583,2015-05-03,31248607,Victoria,"Chris & Sangeeta were amazing hosts! The casita was bright, spacious, & clean. It's in a great location. We chose an excellent spot for our first Airbnb experience & look forward to booking with them again in the future. "
5873238,32254501,2015-05-16,329397,Leslie,"Chris was super responsive and welcoming! He made sure I had everything I needed.  The Casita was a perfect home base for me while I familiarized myself with Austin -- very well located and within walking distance of grocery stores and restaurants in a beautiful, verdant neighborhood.  And while it shares a lot with the larger house, the Casita is quite private. "
5873238,32555612,2015-05-19,4333052,Benjamin,"The host contacted me in advance about check in times and worked with my desired check in date when arriving in Austin.  It worked out perfectly!  He was not at home, but got a good friend to help me out accordingly with phone numbers & contact information.  Host was also very flexible about check out time as well.

Overall, the back home was beautiful with decent parking through the backroad.  The back home was spotlessly clean inside and out too.  Very cozy & comfortable in a strategic location!  I remember there being a nice shopping center with an HEB, In & Out Burger, and coffee shop off of 45th street and Highway 35.  45th street heading west lead me to highways taking me to Driftwood for an important wedding of mine's .

Chris is an overall great person & sadly did not get to meet him in person due to conflicting schedules.  I will definitely stay here again in Austin! "
5873238,32788676,2015-05-21,19288430,Alan,"Chris was very helpful when me and my gf arrived, he showed us around and then left us undisturbed for the reminder of the stay. The place is amazing and the pictures don't do it any justice.. I would recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet evening in Austin. Very clean and comforting"
5873238,32842915,2015-05-22,29331076,Sam,"We had a great time at the casita. Very comfortable for two people. Very nice bathroom. Chris greeted us and was super friendly and helpful, a true local. Easy access to all of town, just a short drive. Private parking spot was great too - right outside the casita. Would definitely recommend to a friend and would definitely stay here again. "
5873238,32982206,2015-05-24,26209204,Lupina,"Sangeeta and Chris, a very young couple, treated us warmly and pretty well. The place is very beautiful, has a lot of charm, is absolutely clean and the bed is very comfortable.
The neighbourhood is much better than the typical suburb of America. Feels safe and is also beautiful, with many trees and plants. Easily connects with highways.
And we survived the worst Austin weather in years!  Thanks for the candlelights!"
5873238,33455503,2015-05-28,18292284,Matthew,Awesome cottage house in a great location with very insightful and accommodating host
5873238,33754494,2015-05-31,33905607,Chris,"I had a great stay with Chris this weekend. The casita was perfect and Chris was very accommodating. I parked near the alley entrance on 47th and found this very convenient as well. 

Definitely would stay with Chris again. "
5873238,34076930,2015-06-04,32932586,Bianca,"Chris made us feel very welcome! He was in contact with us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. The casita looked exactly like it did in the pictures. It was a charming, quiet space and it felt like we were in the woods, but really we were just a few miles from downtown. Would recommend staying here and would stay here again as well!!"
5873238,34361898,2015-06-07,21879222,Alexandria,Chris was super nice and helpful! He answered all of our questions and had great suggestions on local spots to eat. The neighborhood is AWESOME. I have been to Austin a lot but I have never enjoyed it as much as I did staying and finding local spots in Hyde Park.  The place was very private and we had our own place to park right next to the door which was very convenient. Everything was new and the TV was awesome. The full size bed was a little tight for us two but other than that excellent! I hope to stay again! 
5873238,34631953,2015-06-10,30876228,Dehryl,Enjoyed the stay at the casita.  Very cute and close to everything I needed.  Clean and safe.
5873238,34779377,2015-06-12,1655490,Dawn,Hype park casita was a great little spot for our family. It was perfect in location and provided a much needed reunion. Everything was as specified and communication was effortless. Thanks for a great stay!
5873238,35098850,2015-06-15,6194218,Valerie,I'm glad we stayed here for our first airbnb experience! We had a little trouble gaining access to the Casita at first but Chris was easily accessible and very eager to help.
5873238,35330614,2015-06-17,329397,Leslie,This was my second time at the casita b/c it had worked so well during an extended stay last month. As usual Chris was communicative and accommodating.  I highly recommend it for your stay in Austin!
5873238,35810732,2015-06-22,33240096,Andrea,"Casita on H was great. Having never used Airbnb, I didn't have any idea what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised to find it clean, stocked with towels and shampoo, secluded, and safe. I didn't have to worry about losing a key because the door had a key code. I'm so happy we decided to give Airbnb a try instead of pay $150/night to stay in a super 8."
5873238,36037560,2015-06-24,14221521,Olivia,We loved the casita. It was a great size for 2 people. The bathroom and kitchen space have all the amenities needed and were beautiful. 
5873238,36099721,2015-06-25,11037690,Amy,Chris was prompt to respond and provided all of the information that we needed to feel welcome. 
5873238,36253146,2015-06-26,8243832,Jami,"Nestled in the quiet neighborhood of Hyde Park, the Casita was a perfect fit for our one night visit to Austin. My 4-year-old got out of the car and said,""Ohhhhh, this is so cute!"" And it is just that. Clean, bright, safe, cozy, and comfortable.
Chris made check-in a breeze, remained available if we needed anything, and provided plenty of information to help us get settled in the area quickly. Don't hesitate to stay at the Casita!"
5873238,36548309,2015-06-29,541818,Alethea,We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the casita. Chris was easy to reach when we had questions and the place was the perfect size and location for our trip. 
5873238,36868175,2015-07-02,552658,Taryn,"Hyde Park Casita was pretty fantastic!  I wish I could have stayed longer.  It was spotless and every detail was carefully thought out.  I was super impressed.  Also the neighborhood was good and close to amazing restaurants, cafe's, markets, an amazing cheese shop,  juice bar, bakery, the list goes on.  You'll have all you need.  Also the bed was incredibly comfy.   Enjoy the Casita!"
5873238,37160342,2015-07-05,32407451,Jonathan & Alanna,The Casita came as advertised. It was a charming place to relax and retire from an energized day of Austin activities. The home was well cleaned and in great condition.  The neighborhood is quiet and is located perfectly as a home base for seeing all Austin has to offer.
5873238,37851978,2015-07-11,13998201,Margaret,"My kids and I spent an idyllic week in the casita. We feel in love with it immediately and called it ""the little jewel box"" because it's so light and airy. There were Topo Chicos in the fridge when we arrived, and the casita had everything we needed for a weeklong stay. The neighborhood is very cute and very well located--even though the Austin traffic isn't great, we were just minutes from everywhere we wanted to be. I highly recommend the ""little jewel box."" We will definitely be back for another stay!"
5873238,38222279,2015-07-13,21176678,Lacey,We lived staying at the casita on H! It was the perfect place to stay for a quick get a way! The host was so friendly and helpful. The place was so adorable and clean! We will definitely stay again and recommend to our friends!
5873238,38829320,2015-07-19,31402683,Cassandra,"We loved staying in the Hyde Park Casita. My 8 year old daughter and I stayed here together for this trip. It was clean and very convenient. It has everything you need and more. I especially appreciated the free wifi and Netflix for my daughter. The parking right on the premises is great too, but would be tight getting in and out with any vehicle larger than our little Hyundai Accent rental. Chris was a wonderful host and was readily available via text anytime I had a question. 
If you're new to the Austin area and looking for a comfortable place to stay in a great neighborhood, with easy access to downtown and major highways, this is it! We highly recommend the Hyde Park Casita!"
5873238,39127127,2015-07-20,4315094,Cori,"The Casita is a cute little spot in a great part of town. The space was  comfortable for the two of us, was private and quiet. There are plenty of fun things to walk to, and we enjoyed our stay there. "
5873238,39340356,2015-07-22,15736685,Natalie,"The casita is bright, clean, brand new and very comfortable! It's situated a reasonably priced uber from the main parts of Austin so it's the perfect place to stay if you plan to head out for drinks and dancing. There were four of us (we could easily fit our double air mattress on the floor next to the bed) but the casita only consists of one room and an un-air conditioned bathroom so don't try to do this with people you aren't comfortable being up close and personal with! Netflix on the massive TV is a real bonus if you're feeling like you need an episode of 'The Office' before you can get up in the morning. :)"
5873238,39940065,2015-07-27,34693113,Alaena,"The casita delivered as promised - it was clean, convenient to downtown Austin, and had some nice amenities such as a small yard to park in without additional cost, a kitchenette, and the privacy of a backyard. I loved the Netflix TV which is positioned on the wall across from the bed which makes for optimal lounging. The air conditioner works very well and helped us get through some sticky Austin nights. A couple cons were lack of enough bath towels, no top sheet on the bed (the previous airbnber had spilled wine on it, and the owner was ordering a new one, and a squeaky and too small (for us) bed - full size. Updated the bed to a queen would be great - there is also an air mattress available for extra guests. "
5873238,40367059,2015-07-30,38093176,Manny,Everything was in tip top shape on arrival. Chris made everything easy. Thanks 
5873238,41091158,2015-08-04,35402401,Taylor,"Great little casita! AC worked great, whole place was neat and clean, we had a really great time. "
5873238,41237928,2015-08-05,37316858,Kristen,"The Casita was great, even better than expected. This was our first time using AirBnB and I hope all future stays are like the one in the Casita! The little house was just what we needed, very clean house and bathroom, cute front porch, mini fridge for drinks, and the TV with Spotify hookups was great. Chris was incredibly helpful too, providing us with directions and parking, house info, and recommendations for places to eat and go out. Will definitely stay at the Casita on my next trip to Austin. "
5873238,41519194,2015-08-07,16677496,Tara,"We loved staying in the casita. It was very clean, modern, and in such a beautiful historic neighborhood. Although we didn't make use of the kitchen aside from the fridge, it was well equipped with cute dishes, a microwave, sink, etc. There isn't a stove but there are so many great restaurants within walking distance so that was no issue. We felt completely safe and even took off one night to walk to an ice cream place down the street. There is a nice deck and a private yard space, including private parking for smaller vehicles. The bed is comfortable and you get your own Netflix for those lazy moments. We arrived later than expected but Chris made sure the lights were on and it was easy to find with his directions. He was very nice, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed.  We'll definitely stay again when in the area!"
5873238,41952776,2015-08-10,31309772,Judy,"This property was exactly what we'd hoped: serene, clean, fun, funky, quiet, well air conditioned & well-equipped, private yet 10 steps away from a wonderful quirky walkable neighborhood with a really great little destination business district. We walked for coffee each morning & parked ourselves outdoors with books. Definitely worth returning.
FYI-host provided us with directions a fun little walking tour, & helpful restaurant suggestions."
5873238,42675682,2015-08-15,34216569,Lisle,"Chris' Casita was the perfect fit for my 10 yr old and I. It was just enough room, and all the simple necessities for our week-long trip were there. Austin can be extremely hot in August :-), and the air conditioning unit worked very well. What was a nice surprise was that the Casita was very private, and to have the parking space right in front was super convenient. I think it might be too small for a week if my husband came along, but for a little and a grown-up it was perfect. Would stay again in a heartbeat!"
5873238,43608990,2015-08-21,11688138,Ceil,Very nice and neat Casita. Just what I needed for a 4 night stay. Thanks-- your place was just how it was pictured.
5873238,43963806,2015-08-23,38508694,Josh & Jess,"We were very happy with the casita! The off-street parking was awesome to have, and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. The casita was super clean, and had everything we needed (thanks for keeping a hair dryer on hand!). We'd definitely stay here again!"
5873238,44998290,2015-08-30,20566665,Libby,Everything was so easy- was what we expected from the pictures and descriptions. The helpful emails and instructions made it easy to find. Was in a very quiet neighborhood and was exactly what we needed. Would stay there again. 
5873238,46127952,2015-09-08,24213388,Michael,"Great place to stay, very quiet and cozy. Clean and comfortable. Chris was a great host making sure everything was ready for us when we arrived later than expected. "
5873238,46459574,2015-09-10,33602354,Ahmad,The casita was as described. Would stay again!
5873238,46651648,2015-09-12,43129585,Paul,"This was my first experience with AirBnb. I honestly didn't know what to expect but I'm glad I tried it out. The ""casita"" was perfect and was exactly as described and photographed. The place was super private and very comfy. Chris left detailed instructions for everything which made finding the place, parking, etc. extremely easy. I also like that you used a code to unlock the door so you didn't feel like you had to bother anyone to get a key or be there at a specific time.  I never actually met Chris but he did text me on the first evening to make sure everything was good and to offer any help if I needed. I thought that was nice. Bottom line I would highly recommend this place. Probably best for one person or a couple. The neighborhood was lovely and you could walk to several things if you wanted. Very safe area. "
5873238,46891171,2015-09-14,1893604,Chieh,"The casita was small but super cozy! This is perfectly comfortable for two people, and the location is a fantastic getaway from the hustle and bustle of any city. Chris was quick to respond and a great host overall. Highly recommended!"
5873238,47097745,2015-09-15,506144,Alyson,"This is a great spot! It's a private studio behind the homeowner's house. Chris was very welcoming, showing me where to park and how to get in when I arrived. (The studio is a bit hidden, so you will need to meet up with him to get inside.) The property was super clean although a bit under construction; not that it interfered with the stay. I'd definitely stay here again!"
5873238,47367025,2015-09-18,29724708,Sarah,"The casita exceeded our expectations & is actually nicer in person than in the pictures on the listing. It is in a great safe & quiet location & beautifully decorated. Clean, bright, fresh, modern decor & powerful shower. We loved the little extension were the bathroom is, it's really cute. We loved all over the bushes/trees that surround the casita - it really makes it feel private & secure. Having our own parking space was really helpful. Chris was responsive to a couple of texts I sent & answered straight away when I called him upon arrival. Although I never Chris, he was a good host & provided us with recommendations for food & we went to an amazing BBQ place for some incredible meats! Thanks for everything Chris :)"
5873238,47649365,2015-09-21,7976435,Angela,"Chris was awesome and so was staying at his place! I've never been to Austin before and the Hyde Park location was a great central location. Chris was more than helpful in providing us some great local ""things to do/places to see/eat"" that we would have otherwise passed over. He was very accommodating in anything we needed. If you're considering staying at Hyde Park Casita, DO IT! You'll have a great time! "
5873238,48065636,2015-09-23,19475648,Maria,"The description was spot on and perfectly described. The neighborhood is very quiet no issues, the parking situation is a tight spot by an alley. I wouldn't recommend a truck parking there but a regular size car fits. The house is well lit outside. The place is very private. Chris texted me once I got in to make sure I was comfortable. "
5873238,48525382,2015-09-27,39931276,Jennifer,"Host was super nice and welcomed us as soon as we arrived.  Chris explained all about the property, where to shop, eat, and have fun.  I would absolutely come back."
5873238,49115109,2015-10-01,13719131,Nana,"As I write this review from a dreary New York afternoon with a bone-chilling wind and unceasing rain, all I can think is, Winter is Coming—or at least a Nor-easter—and I wish I were back in the Hyde Park Casita. I spent four peaceful days relaxing in the light-filled, thoughtfully-designed, and well-stocked little house. Really appreciated the clean, modern aesthetic, the powerful wall unit, multiple entertainment options on the large-screen TV with Roku installed, and strong WiFi signal. Had a little trouble getting in at first due to unfamiliarity with the electronic locking system, but soon sorted it out with the help of the hosts, who were both really nice and responded quickly to calls and texts. I didn’t have a car but was able to walk to the grocery store and to the coffee shop (Flightpath) for delicious New Orleans iced coffee and Tacodeli breakfast tacos. Definitely stay here if you are in Austin and looking for a quiet, restful alternative to noisy and impersonal hotels."
5873238,49437519,2015-10-04,33522488,Emily,The house is adorable. Great space and great location. Chris was very responsive when we needed him. Would stay again!
5873238,49928802,2015-10-07,44780666,Bailey,"The place was cute, clean, and secluded! We had everything we needed. Thanks so much. Highly recommended. "
5873238,50428706,2015-10-12,15911432,Duyen,My friend and I were in town for ACL and a few days of exploring Austin and Chris's place was the perfect home base. It was quaint and cozy (just big enough for 2-3) and conveniently located to all the major Austin must-dos. Loved it!
5873238,50771650,2015-10-14,8303104,Christen,"Chris' Casita was great for our short stay in Austin. The location is close to everything (by car, we didn't use public transportation), and the casita was stocked with the basics needed for a two-day stay. There's even a Roku equipped with Netflix in case you have an early night. In all, we had a great stay here!"
5873238,51268673,2015-10-19,22341162,Daisy,"Really liked the design of the casita, the space was really cute & it felt really private. Great location - we had a car, but took the bus downtown a few times with ease and also walking distance to the grocery store etc. Took up the recommendation of the doughnut spot on Airport Blvd and they were seriously the best doughnuts I've ever had - do it!! Only negative was the bed was really squeaky & noisy, but Chris is aware of this and did try to fix it, he said a new bed is on its way. Didn't get to meet Chris, but he was available when we needed him."
5873238,52206016,2015-10-27,32702905,Nicole,Chris made me feel very welcome - checking in before we arrived and then periodically though the stay to let us know we could reach out if we needed anything. The listing was accurate and the space was super cute. It's within walking distance to a bunch of restaurants and there's a major bus route about a street away. I'd definitely return here my next time in Austin!
5873238,52563050,2015-10-30,32168412,Dionne,"I really enjoyed staying at the Hyde Park Casita.  It is in the perfect location, right around the corner from the UT campus.  Chris was a great host, and very responsive.  The neighborhood was so quiet.  The house had everything I needed.  The best thing of all, OMG! the bed is so comfortable.  I will definitely stay here again next time if it's available."
5873238,52720959,2015-11-01,17467727,Annie,"Kudos to Chris. The Casita is a beautiful place to stay. The location is fantastic, including private parking, and the accommodations were perfect for our relaxing weekend getaway. With all of the rain during the weekend, it was a bonus to have a smart tv with ready access to movies and shows. One of our favorite amenities of the Casita is that it is walking distance of one of our favorite spots, Quacks. 
High marks for this gem!"
7802995,51318869,2015-10-19,44294368,Justin,This was my first Airbnb so I don't have a lot to compare to but she was easy to communicate with and the house was as advertised. We were there for a family get together so we weren't there much but the price was appropriate and it served our needs. I would use this house again. 
1783665,8472385,2013-11-01,962515,Sarah,Cayce is Austin's sweetest host and his tiny house is the coziest east side escape. The space is equipped with everything you might need and I extra appreciated the basket of fruits and bottle if wine. I ate breakfast on my stoop every morning and walked a few blocks to Lady Bird Lake. This place is a total steal. Go! 
1783665,8836456,2013-11-20,4363395,Casey,"The Tiny House was my home away from home for two weeks, and it was an enjoyable stay!  Located in the up-and-coming east side, the area is transitional- lots of local flavor and a homey feel!  I will stay in the Tiny House again. I enjoyed having the kitchenette (beats staying in a hotel!), granite countertops, and freshly remodeled finishes in the bathroom, as well.  Cayce was a great host, checking on me often!  Thank you!"
1783665,10777061,2014-03-07,10795782,Alex,"Best place to stay in Austin. Close to everything. 5 minute bike ride to the heart of the city. Close to the bus routes, and really walkable to anywhere. Its amazing. Cayce is a great host, looking out for us since day one. Me and my girlfriend stayed for a month (February 2014) and it was our best decision ever. We felt very safe at the location, you really get the feeling of what Austin is about at this place. Small studio with just everything you need for a short or long stay. You wont regret it!"
1783665,10975443,2014-03-16,9802653,Matt,Cayce was an awesome host. The Tiny House does the job if you are looking for a place in Austin. Cayce goes above and beyond to make you feel accommodated and the house is located close to night life and grocery locations. If you are looking for a place in Austin I recommend renting from Cayce.  
1783665,11856591,2014-04-17,2083008,James,Perfect little house close to airport and downtown.  I loved it there!
1783665,37070893,2015-07-04,487714,Angela,"Great little space in a good location! The kitchenette/bathroom are both newly remodeled, which makes the place feel nice and clean. It's a small space, but I found it to be just fine for a longer term stay, and there's great natural light and plenty of storage space. Neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors are friendly, and it's an easy 10 minute walk to a good grocery store and plenty of bars and restaurants. The outside pictures don't show how cute the yard currently is..there's a nice privacy fence and the bushes are much bigger now, so you've got a cute little oasis in the city. "
1783665,45089318,2015-08-31,3520412,Kathryn,"Though Cayce wasn't there in person when I stayed, he was quick to respond to my messages and take care of any needs I made aware to him. He was super nice and generous during my stay to lend his bike when I needed it. 

Overall, the space its self was not right fit for me; no stove and a bit off the beaten path. If you're coming for a week or 2, it could be right for you though. 
"
7317518,38472695,2015-07-15,10614343,Alex,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7317518,40013751,2015-07-27,22858794,Christopher,Nice quiet stay. Close to downtown and the campus. Would probably stay again.
7317518,43167876,2015-08-17,29730991,Tommy,A perfect spacious apartment for a weekend getaway. The apartment was great and the host provided ample communication to help me settle in for the weekend! Multiple great restaurants and bars near by with a short walk/ride to downtown.
7317518,43963856,2015-08-23,37737988,Heather,"This apartment was convenient to the UT campus and walkable to a lot of shop and restaurants. Irvianne ensured that I had enough fresh towels, and she warned me a head of time that her cat would be there, which was fine with me. Parking was really convenient. The building and apartment are in need of some updates (creaky stairs, outdated kitchen), but it was a fine place for me to stay for a weekend."
7317518,45148551,2015-08-31,9044651,Ann,"This is a beautiful place. Restaurants and such were an easy walk, and an uber to the city center was around $5 a trip. Lucille was quite friendly, too!"
7317518,46001081,2015-09-07,40737151,Lok-Kun,Had a pleasant stay at the apartment. It was convenient and close to a lot of food places as well as the university. There was also a very curious cat there that liked to play with me during my stay. Irvianne was very helpful in coordinating my visit. Thank you!
7317518,46928973,2015-09-14,19418060,Chadd,"Location, apt, and host were all great. Would stay there again."
7317518,47288226,2015-09-17,31715684,Andrew,"Irvianne's apartment was great, exactly as described.  We had to go to UT for one day's business, and the apartment was the perfect stop for our trip.  It was clean, well appointed and absolutely convenient for the university or downtown.  Irvianne's sweet cat was also great company.  I have no bad words - everything was as described, the location was great, Irvianne communicated everything we needed to know.  Fantastic stay!"
7317518,47676212,2015-09-21,39457974,Kyle,"Irvianne's place was just as it showed in the pics. Location was good, about 10 mins from sixth street and she was very helpful whenever I needed her. It was my first experience using airbnb and it went well!"
7317518,48878628,2015-09-29,19544270,Tamara,"Irvianne's place is lovely. It is very confortable and the location is fantastic. We had everything we needed. Communication was easy. And Lucille is the most adorable cat in the world, we already miss her!"
7317518,51610833,2015-10-22,22009744,Kristen,"Irvianne did a great job with communication and even went so far as to write a note with great recommendations for us! 

That said, the place was cluttered and dusty beyond old house charm. "
7317518,51829209,2015-10-24,16129679,Lauren,"Irvianne was by all accounts a friendly and responsive host.  I got to meet the cat, who was very cute.  However, the apartment wasn't very clean (it's an older building), and is in a student location, so I opted to stay at another location."
7317518,51965912,2015-10-25,7352395,Randy,"Irvianne's place was perfect for me and my friend! It was described exactly the way she says and it was very charming. Great area too. Got to meet Irvianne as well, it was nice chatting with her! "
7317518,52240125,2015-10-27,819765,Jenn,"Our stay in Austin was great! Irvianne was a fantastic host, offering us suggestions about where to eat and what to do. We felt very welcome. Additionally, her cat is sweet as can be! It was overall a great experience. "
4081021,19984312,2014-09-21,7239865,Alexandra,"The apartment is great for two and we loved how clean everything was, we felt right at home! We didn't try to walk downtown, but it's an easy 5-6 minute ride, great neighborhood for just walking around and enjoying a different side of Austin. Jeff was awesome at being accommodating, anything we asked for he came back with an answer! I would definitely stay here again, thanks Jeff! "
4081021,28335187,2015-03-22,14700222,Blaire,Jeff was a lovely host. He was very accommodating and responsive all throughout my stay.  The apartment was clean and very well-located for a visit to Austin.  Everything was accurate to the description and really met my expectations. 
8520494,49712113,2015-10-05,34556904,Lucas,"My experience at Peter's home was fantastic. The bedroom/bathroom was spotless and spacious, the bed was large and comfy, the location was perfect walking distance for ACL, the dogs were sweet, and the hosts were very laid back, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a true Austin experience. Thanks again for the lattes, Peter!"
5022777,28162843,2015-03-19,11179240,Joseph,Myself and 3 others stayed here for SXSW Interactive and it was a great experience. It's within walking distance to downtown and there are also great restaurants further down south congress. The apartment has a great view of downtown and is very comfortable.
5022777,28326598,2015-03-22,10732431,Ryan,"AMAZING!!! Stayed here for SXSW weekend. Amazing location, walking distance from downtown. Very safe neighborhood. Apartment was clean and well kept with all amenities you could possibly need. Host even provided soap, shampoo, and a few bottles of bubbly! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! "
5022777,35165307,2015-06-15,3192266,Bun,"The condo was large and comfortable and Aaron/Nick welcomed us on our first day there. He was awesome and even left us with a bottle of Champagne! Because the location was right on S. Congree, we loved our stroll down the street for yummy food and window shopping. I couldn't ask for a better place. The Uber ride was only $5 to 6th street. Aaron/Nick was easy to reach by text. I would stay here again without hesitation, the view from the condo was BEAUTIFULLL. Parking was ample as we were provided with parking permits. The list of suggestions for places to go and things to do was helpful. Thanks for making this an awesome trip!!!!!!"
5022777,35851773,2015-06-22,32148670,Gerard,The condo was in a great location and in walking distance from a lot of great places. My friends and I stayed for two nights and had a great time. Aaron was easy to communicate with throughout the trip and made us feel welcome in his condo. Highly recommend staying here!
5022777,42141198,2015-08-11,27751558,Kristine,"Our group of 6's air Bnb experience was phenomenal! The host was accessible before, during, and even after our reservation was over to make sure everything went well. He would respond to messages very quickly and provided great details to help our trip run smoothly. The apartment was great! Very clean and enough room for the 6 of us to live comfortably for 5 days. Walking distance (or a 10 dollar uber bc of the heat) to everything including the shops on Soco, downtown, and Rainy Street.  He even had a little welcome package when we arrived. Everything was completely organized and we will definitely be staying here again next time we are in town. "

5022777,47636069,2015-09-21,35633835,Brianne,The neighborhood this condo was in was phenomenal.  Walking distance to LOTS of great restaurants.  A really fun scene.  It was convenient to many other locations meaning either walking distance or a very cheap Uber to wherever you wish to go.  We were at the convention center a lot and it was an easy walk that took us over the bridge with the famous bats!  I would definitely come back.  Aaron was an attentive host and was very easy to contact with any questions.
4023285,21263264,2014-10-13,18683869,Hanh,"Tasha is such an amazing host!  She was so attentive the whole time from the start of the listing until the second we left the house.  She always responded in a timely matter and answered all the questions I had.  

She was sweet enough to stock the fridge with some water and teas for us as well as leaving us some fruit and snacks.  Even better that they were healthy ones too! 

This is a very charming home. Definitely loved the setup and furnishings. I only slept in the master bedroom and the mattress and fluffy pillows put me right to sleep.  There was 5 of us and Tasha provided us with an air mattress for the 5th person to use in the living room.  Everyone that stayed at the house this past weekend was very happy.  Very quaint neighboorhood and um, hello!  that cute swing on the porch made it nice to enjoy the morning breeze we had.  Plenty of nice new towels and linens.  One of the things we really liked was the keypad access to the door.  Made it convenient for us to come and go as we pleased instead of waiting for everyone and being able to do different things. 

Easy access to the freeway, downtown, Zilker- quick 5-10 min drive.  

OH! and if you're from California like 3 of us were, you'd be happy to know that there is an In-n-Out 1 minute away!!!

Definitely would stay here again!"
4023285,23335989,2014-11-29,3681381,Karen,"Tasha's house was the perfect place for us to spend the weekend. It was cute, clean and had all the amenities we needed. I would highly recommend her house for those traveling with children as it had a spacious backyard. Tasha was a wonderful host and was quick to reply to any inquiries we had. We plan to stay again for sure!"
4023285,24649015,2015-01-01,3378942,Cassandra,"We had a wonderful stay in Tasha's home. She was easy to talk with, very accommodating and eager to make our experience full of pleasantries!  
Tasha was quick to help move a glass coffee table from the living room as we wanted to baby proof the home. I really appreciated her promptness on the removal.
We stayed for an write month and found it to be the nicest airbnb yet! 
A little on the home: located in a great part of Austin, walking distance to Juicleland, bakeries, coffee shops, cheese shop and restaurants.
The home was cozy and elegant. Complete with high tech washer and dryer,  all appliances available and fully stocked kitchen wares. Living space was open and very comfortable. The bed was honestly something to appreciate.. We still talk about how we miss it!! No doubt it is quite an expensive mattress with pillows of heavenly stature:) 
All together our favorite airbnb expierence, so happy we decided to stay here!!"

4023285,27389853,2015-03-03,6920228,Susan,"Our stay at Tasha's home was perfect! We came for an escape from Houston for an early celebration of my husband and I's 10 year anniversary and to catch Fleetwood Mac at the Erwin Center (just a 5 minute drive away) with my parents. We also had our almost 8 month old and 3 year old along with and the home was perfectly kid friendly. It was cozy and inviting in the extra cool and wet weather.  The home was perfectly located for an anniversary dinner at Uchiko and lots of stops at our fave and some new spots for food & shopping (Sparkle Kids consignment, Cloth Pocket for fabric, Coffee Bean for the best Ice Blended, Pinthouse Pizza for amazing craft beer, Hat Creek for yummy burgers and HAPPY sauce!, Sweet Ritual for killer vegan ice cream - get the Rainbow Terror - edible glitter and homemade peanut butter magic shell, stops on E 6th for the best pizza ever at Via 313 and Thai Kun goodness, anthropologie, REI, book people, Central Market, Whole Foods, etc...).  We even snagged a couple great family pics on that awesome front porch. Tasha was super friendly and helpful and made sure we were totally taken care of!  Thanks so much! Can't wait to enjoy your Hyde Park house again."
4023285,28116873,2015-03-18,4586631,Brad,Tasha was great and the house was perfect for our stay in Austin. There are stores and restaurants nearby and it's only around $12-15 to get a Lyft or Uber into the downtown area. The neighborhood is quiet and a nice refuge from the hubbub of SXSW.
4023285,28255862,2015-03-21,27185326,Barbara,"Tasha's very cute bungalow was our oasis during the hubbub of SXSW. The house was neat as a pin. Tasha has obviously done this for a bit. There was a house manual with everything a traveler could possibly need about transportation, etc. Before our arrival, Tasha was in close communication with us, all very friendly. I recommend this airbnb."
4023285,28398304,2015-03-23,27415394,Daniel,"Tasha was great. She responded promptly to all of my messages, the house was available right when she said it would be and it was better than we could have imagined. It was very homey and was perfect for what we needed for a long weekend in Austin. It is in a great, quiet location and it is still very easy to get out and around the city. I would definitely stay here again!"
4023285,28784126,2015-03-30,26068252,Elise,"We loved it! There where five girls in our group and the house was perfect for us! Everything was clean and neat the beds were comfortable, good water pressure in the shower! Everything we could need was there! just a great set up! We loved the living area and the porch swing, it was a perfect set up for sitting around and talking!! The house is in a great location for the things we wanted to do around Austin! I definitely recommend it and I would stay there again!! "

4023285,29964153,2015-04-15,24401718,Deborah,"Tasha's house is absolutely beautiful and very comfortable! She had everything that we might have needed and more.  Her house book was full of great suggestions from how to get around in Austin to great places to eat.  The Hyde Park  area is very nice and convenient to local markets, downtown and the Airport!  We walked every morning and most evenings as do a lot of the residents in the area. So the area is very safe.  I would definitely recommend Tasha's Hyde Park Bungalow. 
  "
4023285,35310683,2015-06-17,21196088,Eric,"Tasha was a perfect AirBnB host! She was helpful at all times and responded quickly to all communications and requests. The house is a gem, very cute and comfortable. The location is great — quiet, but centrally located and close to Hyde Park, UT, and a lot of the great Austin restaurants and activities. We'd gladly recommend it to others visiting the city."
4023285,36609605,2015-06-29,3968491,Janet,Wow what a gorgeous home. We loved our stay here. 4 of us visited. Spacious and well appointed. Clean. Fabulous beds. Loved Austin. Fabulous location too (we had a car).
4023285,46588568,2015-09-12,36714454,Thomas,"Our host Tasha was excellent to work with over our 7 week stay. Prior to and upon our arrival, everything was very well organized, the logisitcs communicated timely and beneficial with the home being easily accessible. The home was perfectly located for us in that we are in the final stages of building a home in Austin, and the Hyde Park area was very convenient to get to downtown Austin, Lake Austin and Northwest Hills where we have family. In total a ""PERFECT"" spot! "
4023285,48009418,2015-09-22,42720108,Dan,The place was great and Tasha was an excellent host! Great location to get to spots both north and south. Love the porch swing too!

4557852,25976248,2015-01-31,1410826,Christopher Barrett,"Tom was very welcoming, we are actually in complimentary fields so we even chatted a bit about the work that we do. He was accommodating in both check-in and check-out times.

The bungalow was exactly as had been described, the bikes were useful, and the location was superb. It's right across from a park, and within walking distance of South Congress which is a great place to grab a drink, go shopping, or get a bite to eat. The kitchen gave our mornings a taste of home and our lives a nice touch of regularity as we spent the entire week running around town. 

Of all my airbnb experiences this ranks as the highest thus far, I can't recommend Tom high enough. Enjoy Austin! "
4557852,26037688,2015-02-01,9676984,Caroline,We booked a last minute stay and could not have been more pleased with the super great cottage!  It was so stylish and comfortable. Plenty of room and great hosts!
4557852,26283875,2015-02-08,23915372,Matthew,"Tom was a great host. He made wonderful recommendations to me and my brothers as we stayed in Austin for a couple of days. Bikes (2) and bike locks were provided for us as we wanted to bike around Soco, the river, and downtown area. This is how I recommend any future tenant to view Soco and downtown. He also let us use an air mattress when ours failed. The place was pristine and clean. I will certainly contact Tom again when I visit Austin."
4557852,26362970,2015-02-10,16470588,Masha,"We had a wonderful time staying here. Great location, super cute house with all the amenities you need, and nice hosts! We loved the bikes."

ABGB Brewery with live music was a highlight, Lick ice cream and even had a great hair cut at Frenchy's salon up the street. The bikes were fantastic, we rode every day and didn't have to worry about parking in all the busy areas of town. 
One of our most fabulous vacations. Thank for a great stay!"
4557852,26805592,2015-02-19,10720620,Lilly,Tom's place was exactly what we needed for our 3 night stay in Austin.

I would definitely stay at his bungalow again.
4557852,27524230,2015-03-06,2437198,Kathryn,Great place! Good for 1 or 2 people. Nice little kitchen for keeping a few things and came stocked with water which is always appreciated!

4557852,28126086,2015-03-18,19065434,Meghann,This is the most adorable bungalow. Tom takes excellent care of it and he's a really accommodating and gracious host. The bikes are super useful for those getting around Austin without a car and the house is perfectly situated out of the main drags but just close enough that you're a short cab ride or bike away. Highly recommended. 
4557852,28187991,2015-03-19,19452941,Benita,"This was a cute little bungalow. Great for couples. Very close to downtown.
A last minute minute reservation for a coworker and I. It worked, but a little intimate for coworker situation.  "

Would definitely recommend staying at Tom's lovely place :)

It was clean, secure and comfortable as well as stylish! It looks like great care was put in to selecting furnishings for the bungalow. The location is great - a neighborhood which feels safe, is quiet at night and is super close to everything. Tom and his wife, Sam, were excellent hosts who made sure that we were happy and had what we needed. They were quick with communications and very helpful when we needed them, plus they were just exceedingly kind. I would definitely recommend this bungalow to others and hope to one day return! Thanks for a great stay in Austin! :)"
4557852,32105512,2015-05-14,27511505,Tsiporah,"My host waited for me when I arrived and welcomed me warmly. He showed me around and explained to me about the facilities in the bungalow. Everything matched the description on AirB7B. He also gave me details regarding nearby facilities and left a book about Texaxs in the bungalow, as well as a detailed explanation about the arrangements and ways of communication between us during the staying in the bungalow. It always worked and I got supplies and any other help at my request anytime."
4557852,32886436,2015-05-23,10862061,Saskia,"Tom hat uns sehr nett empfangen und war immer und sehr schnell ansprechbar bei Fragen. Der Check-in/out war sehr flexibel und wir konnten am Abreisetag unsere Koffer noch unterstellen. Der Bungalow war perfekt. Exakt wie beschrieben und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Es gab außerdem einen Ordner mit Informationen zu Internet, Recycling und Tipps für die Umgebung. DIe Gegend ist toll und wir haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt. Zu Fuß und per Bus konnten wir viele nette Dinge unternehmen. TOP Airbnb-Host! Wir würden sofort wiederkommen. Vielen Dank!"
4557852,33007280,2015-05-24,32371050,Jennifer,Everything was as described. Tom was really helpful when we were trying to find a place to eat on the way in. Was perfect for what we needed.
4557852,33358566,2015-05-27,6840568,Danny,"The bungalow was perfect! It's a fantastic location, and with the bikes Tom has made available, everything is easy to get to within minutes. The place accommodates two people well. Very well furnished, too. Tom is an amazing host with amazing communication. He got back to us within minutes with great food recommendations. Great experience overall."
4557852,34626186,2015-06-10,27368612,Dawn,Tom and his wife were extremely welcoming and hospitable. The location of the bungalow was perfect for all of our Austin adventures. The bikes were a great addition as well! Everything was clean and well kept and perfect for 2 people! 
4557852,34968586,2015-06-14,32004113,Danielle,"Samantha greeted us and was so welcoming! They had bikes, drinks in the fridge, towels, and more prepared for us! They made sure we know our way around the neighborhood and that we felt comfortable. The bungalow was lovely and perfect for a couple.  This is why we use Airbnb :)"
4557852,35942289,2015-06-23,3147638,Diana,"Tom and Samantha were wonderful hosts. Samantha was there to greet us and show us the ropes, and Tom was super responsive to all questions and concerns. The location is amazing and very close to great shops and restaurants. The house itself was lovely and clean. Great experience! Perfect for two travelers. We hope to return soon. "
4557852,36296600,2015-06-27,13543427,Pat,"Great neighborhood; $8 Uber ride downtown, the place was sparkling clean, private and tastefully appointed.  Tom and Sam made us feel very much at home.
"
4557852,36540337,2015-06-29,17195271,Mai,"The bungalow was adorable, and exactly as pictured. I didn't get to meet anyone personally, but my friends arrived first and got to meet Tom's wife, Sam. I especially loved all the ""extra"" touches that made my visit more special (a handwritten note to greet us, beverages in the refrigerator, apples, etc.) Tom was easy to communicate with and very  quick to respond. The neighborhood was in a great location for all the places we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again!"
4557852,37586853,2015-07-08,20326755,Julie,"Tom and his wife were both extremely kind and knowledgeable! They were able to make many great recommendations and always got back to us extremely quickly if we had any questions! They have a great binder full of dry cleaner info, laundromat info, restaurants to try, close coffeehouses... It was all very helpful!
The location was PERFECT for us. We were close enough to everything we wanted to do that going back in between meals or activities to get cleaned up was NO PROBLEM. We loved being able to go on a walk or kayaking and being close enough to everything that we could nap, change, or relax before dressing for a night out! We will definitely try to book their home for our next trip to Austin! The bed was SUPER comfy and the home was the perfect size for us! Thanks for everything! -Julie and Matt"
4557852,39032698,2015-07-20,35578617,Lauren,"Tom arranged a check-in and took the time to orient us to the space. I felt that he had a lot of experience as a host because he was able to anticipate our questions before we knew we had them! He is also welcoming of any further queries about Austin and ready to make some great recommendations.

The bungalow itself was indeed immaculate and thoughtfully designed. It has plenty of natural light and a clean, white aesthetic with just the right balance of color and decorative elements--uncluttered but cozy. We found everything we needed over a weekend stay. It's the perfect size for a couple due to efficient use of the space. It is also very generous to offer guests bicycles.

Several ex-Austin friends told me this was the neighborhood to hit and they were right on. There are many great hangouts, restaurants, food trucks, and shops. This location makes for a great home base to explore the rest of the city. 

Thanks for a great weekend!"
4557852,39968472,2015-07-27,36700621,Tracy,"Great place to stay in Austin.  Hosts, Samantha and Tom, are extremely nice and helpful.   Home was cute, clean and in a convenient location for our trip.  Appreciated the personal touches which make the vacation more memorable than staying in a hotel.  Also enjoyed our bike ride Sunday morning down to the park.  We certainly plan on a repeat visit in the future."
4557852,40346614,2015-07-30,15715572,Harry,"My girlfriend and I had a fantastic stay at the ‘bungalow’.  The place was clean, neat, and had everything we needed.  As far as location goes, the neighborhood’s hard to beat: perfect spot for exploring the south side of the river/S. Congress area (either by foot, the two nice bikes, or by car), as well as for taking day trips out into Hill Country.  Lastly, Tom and his wife were helpful, hospitable, and seemed genuinely happy to have us.  World class city, world class stay: can’t wait to head back."

My husband and I stayed for an entire month. I wish we could permanently stay there! The furniture, décor, everything was perfect! Super clean and newly renovated. The location is perfect, just a 15 minute bike ride to south congress... and really anywhere. I 200% recommend! "
4557852,48376783,2015-09-26,32584388,Logan,"My mom and dad stayed at Tom's bungalow right after my daughter was born and they couldn't have been happier!  Tom and his family were such great hosts.  They provided everything my parents needed and were so friendly and welcoming.  The place was super cute and very clean.  It was the perfect size for just the two of them.  My mom literally came over everyday raving about what a wonderful experience she was having staying there.  We highly highly recommend this place to everyone!  And to Tom and his family, thank you so very much for taking such good care of my parents!  I can't wait for them to come back and stay at your lovely little pad again very soon :)"
4557852,48889622,2015-09-29,5467611,"Jason, Marc, Robin & Jeremy","Loved our stay at this bungalow in Austin. It's the original building on a lot where a larger main home was built. Area going through process of gentrification. Owners bought us umbrellas to use as it was raining when we arrived. Cold beer & mineral waters in the fridge. Walking distance to a great brew pub with upscale pub food:  ""ABGB"" Austin Beer Garden Brewing Co. Featured Austin bands nightly. Maybe 6 block walk to coffee cafes & cool little restaurants on 1st Street. Hosts were very helpful with restaurant suggestions, etc."
4557852,50062698,2015-10-09,32711312,Alexandra,"Tom was an excellent host! Very friendly, and helped us find the good hidden gems in Austin. The apartment was clean, & had everything we needed. He helped us find our way around town, and this place is definitely what is advertised."
4557852,50615472,2015-10-13,21805397,Marisa,"Tom was very attentive before, during and after our visit even though they were out of town while we were there. The description of the place is very accurate for the accommodations we used. (We didn't end up using the bikes or the pull out couch). It is a very close walk to 1st St where there are tons of good restaurants. The binder of recommendations was super helpful but Tom also gave us separate recommendations when we asked. We absolutely loved our stay and miss the bungalow already! I would definitely recommend Tom as a host and a trip to Austin in general!"
4557852,51427198,2015-10-20,36035323,Katherine,"Our stay in Austin was lovely, and having such an immaculate bungalow to ourselves was priceless. The place was pristine and Tom was beyond helpful!"

4557852,52076176,2015-10-26,3421744,Melina,"Tom welcomed us as soon as we arrived at the cottage and was very available throughout our stay for any questions or advice. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. It is located just a 5min drive away (had the weather been good, we would have ridden the bikes that Tom leaves for his guests in the garage) from SoCo and 1st street, prime locations for eating out and shopping. The neighborhood is nice and green. Plus, the street has barely any traffic, so you can be assured that you'll get a good night sleep."
4557852,52499602,2015-10-30,42801253,Cheryl,"Location, location, location, plus hospitality, cleanliness, and fun!!  The Bungalow was the perfect place to stay. Tom and Samantha were always available and willing to help in any way they could. The two bikes they offered with the Bungalow, provided a day full of trail rides and exploring. The property is clean and comfortable, and my husband and I will be happy to stay again on our next visit.  Thank you!"
4557852,52593382,2015-10-31,41388921,Sarah,"Tom and Samantha made us feel comfortable as soon as we arrived, and their lodging was exactly as they described it - so much better than any hotel room. They offer lots of  nice amenities and happen to be in a great location in Austin.

As food-lovers, they were nice enough to suggest a few local gems that have been fantastic - we still have a few places we haven't hit up yet, but are planning to!

They're a warm and friendly couple and we felt extremely safe staying in their cute and extremely clean bungalow. We would gladly stay again next time we're in the city."

I had to make a change to my length of stay due to a family emergency once I had checked in, and Nicole was again very responsive and understanding in accommodating my need to leave early. Beautiful building situated in a great spot downtown. Nicely furnished with a great view to the north.  I would stay there again."

The house was terrific and super clean and well decorated. Mike and his dog Angus were both great, perfect hosts and made our stay in Austin a memorable one. We can't wait to come back and visit again, and will definitely try to stay at Mike's pad. Thanks again Mike!"
1906720,9726343,2014-01-06,10897861,Vickie,"We really enjoyed our stay with Mike and his dog Angus. Mike was a really generous host and his place was very clean and spacious. Very close to all the amenities Austin has to offer including easy access to the highway and 6th street, Unfortunately, I got sick half way through our trip and I didn't get to spend as much time at Mike's place as I intended. However, Mike was very courteous and gave us the privacy we needed. Angus, Mike's dog, was very lovable and a great guard dog. Overall, our stay with Mike was excellent and I would recommend his place to anyone I know thinking about staying in Austin! "
1906720,10288644,2014-02-10,6475584,Kelly,"Was in a bind and needed to find a last minute stay. Mike was very accommodating! My dog Chuck made friends with Mike's lil guy, Angus. It was my first time in Austin and I had a blast with Mike and his buds! Thanks Mike! "
1906720,10348991,2014-02-15,7411742,Kathleen,"Great location! I walked everywhere that I needed to go downtown.  Mike was a great host - super communicative and welcoming.  The air mattress was really comfy the house and bathroom were clean.  Angus the dog was a wonderful delight.   If I come back to Austin, I will most certainly ask Mike.  "
1906720,10414806,2014-02-17,2006334,Josephine,Mike was great and really helped us out at short notice. He has a great place and his dog Angus was lovely. Great location and host

Austin is growing rapidly and this area has tons of little bars, coffee shops, and food trucks and will only continue to grow. Thanks!"

While we only briefly met due to the craziness of sxsw, we had some great chat and his dog was super nice too.
Would recommend his place to my friends"
1906720,11047871,2014-03-18,11456607,Adrian,"Mike was a great host! He was extremely busy with his own work during SXSW but was always available. The house was in a quiet neighborhood but such a short walk from all the action of the city. He was even able to accompany a last-minute addition to our party, who slept on his comfy couch. Thanks Mike!"
1906720,11195406,2014-03-24,2416823,Britta,I stayed at Mike's place for 6 nights and had a great stay. The place is in a very quiet and safe area and within about 20 minutes walking distance to downtown. I didn't see Mike a lot as I was out during the day and just used the room to have a place to sleep. The few times that I saw him he was very nice and helpful with everything.

We pretty much had the place to ourselves and Mike made us feel welcome with some great tips for the area. It's a 10 minute walk to a lot of amazing bars and food options on Cesar Chavez and 6th St. It's fairly easy to walk to Downtown from here, but on hot days we desperately needed to hire bikes (try East Side Pedal Pushers nearby) as it became a very sweaty walk.

Thanks Mike!"
1906720,13493346,2014-05-28,192762,Jamey,"Mike was super friendly and very quick to respond to inquiries.  The space is great and well decorated and the air bed is comfortable.  Location is excellent, walking distance to downtown and even closer to East Austin nightlife and eateries.  Scoot Inn and White Horse are a quick walk away.  Airport taxi to and from the place is around $22.

"
1906720,15394392,2014-07-08,14119304,Tony,"Staying here with Mike was great; I had a good time, it's in a very calm part of town, there's tasty food within walkable distance, and the 17 bus line can take you downtown in a few minutes if you time it right. "
1906720,17323272,2014-08-10,3361254,Nicholas,"Mike was awesome! He and his dog, Angus, were extremely accommodating. His home is very comfortable and clean. The house is in the perfect location for access to downtown which is a 10 minute walk. Just a great experience all around."
1906720,17543668,2014-08-13,19687214,Matt,"I couldn't have asked for anything more. Mike and Angus made me feel welcome as soon as I landed. Chill and respectful, the two have created an atmosphere that is comforting yet not overbearing. I highly recommend this location and host. Hope to be back in a few short weeks."
1906720,17731804,2014-08-16,14618866,Matthew,Awesome! Mike is a great host! Nice spot in a very hip neighborhood. We felt instantly relaxed when we arrived. Mike was very helpful and an all around great guy.
1906720,18917065,2014-09-02,4577584,Marnie,"Mike and his dog Angus were wonderful hosts! We had such a great time staying at their place. Mike went out of his way to make us feel welcome; he suggested bars and restaurants for us to check out and gave us good directions. His house is located in a really neat part of Austin and it is very accessible to downtown. We loved the southwestern/mid-century modern vibes. Mike is sort of the perfect host for someone who is just visiting Austin for fun because I can tell that he really cares about the city and wants visitors to experience everything that makes it so special. Thanks for putting up with me and my friend, Mike! "

1906720,21212159,2014-10-13,12583317,Diana,"Mike and Angus were super awesome. He was really prompt with answering my texts/messages on AirBnB so if you're looking for someone with excellent communication skills he's your man. Our visit happen to be during ACL weekend and I liked that he was upfront about the room being available and was happy to let me and my friend stay at his place without the annoying ""there are others looking at my place and I'm going with the best offer"" kind of BS. 

Even though he was off at ACL he still made himself available to us via text which was nice. Mike also had a few cool recommendations to check out, we had a few great conversations (read: he's not some weirdo), and was just all around great host. 

And did I mention Angus was great? He's more than happy to play with you and is a super sweet little dog. "
1906720,21523287,2014-10-19,12582494,Lydia,"Mike was out of town during our stay but made sure to touch base about recommended restaurants and how to get in to the place. He made himself available to chat when we needed him and was kind to offer his two bikes for exploring. His neighborhood was great, with a lot to do within walking distance and not too far from buses (Lyft and Uber came to us there every day too). The only discomfort we had was the bathroom cockroach, which are perhaps more common in Texas than where we're from, but the daddy long legs in the kitchen we befriended! "
1906720,22189325,2014-11-01,960469,Claire,"Staying with Mike was a dream - beautiful, relaxed place and him and Angus were brilliant hosts, helping me out when I needed it and we had a few drinks together too. Lovely place in a great spot. Highly recommended!"
1906720,24687008,2015-01-01,2113585,Dahnika,"Mike was extremely welcoming and helpful. His home was clean and inviting and in the perfect location. We were able to relax and enjoy the great neighborhood restaurants and bars. We used uber to get around because the weather wasn't great, and it was really convenient. Thanks Mike!"
1906720,24954450,2015-01-04,2134459,Jaclyn,"Great place in a great spot—easily walkable to many delightful coffeeshops on Chavez or 7th, bars on Rainey, and a few of the bikeshare stations. Cute home, very clean and organized, and the comforter on the bed was amazing! (Small details make a big difference!)"
1906720,25475892,2015-01-17,13079030,Mariana,A very comfortable and pleasant experience. Nice location. Mike was very hospitable and willing to help with suggestions on where to go. The room and bathroom are very clean. Would stay here again!
1906720,25573666,2015-01-19,2134459,Jaclyn,"Second stay with Mike! It's a great place, so convenient for enjoying many of Austin's great food and drink establishments. "
1906720,26062262,2015-02-02,579505,Jake,"I had a great stay with Mike. His place is clean and well-appointed, and the East Austin locale is ideal. Plus, Angus (Mike’s dog) is unrivaled in cuteness. We even got to hang out in Marfa the week after my stay :)"
1906720,26274123,2015-02-08,351043,Wesley,"Mike was very communicative and accommodating. The apt was perfectly located for me, as I had to be mostly on the east side and I was on foot. Recommended!"
1906720,26736837,2015-02-18,25394601,Krista,"Mike was very accommodating, and the place itself was clean and tidy. The location is great; you can definitely walk to anything in East Austin. The only thing that didn't really work out was that the bikes that are mentioned in the listing are on the shorter side, and I am not, so I was unable to take advantage of them. Other than that, I had a very pleasant stay."
1906720,27000220,2015-02-23,3635565,Debra,I enjoyed my stay at Mike's house a few weeks ago.  The room is clean and his house is in a great location walking distance to great bars and restaurants in East Austin and walkable to downtown Austin.  I would stay at Mike's again.
1906720,27281581,2015-03-01,16246105,Ciara J,"Mikes place was dope! Clean, in the perfect location. He was full of recommendations and made our time in Austin super enjoyable. Awesome air bnb experience. "
1906720,27651170,2015-03-09,3181070,Hazel,I went to Austin for a long weekend with my girlfriend. The room was comfortable and Mike's house has great decor. It's within a 15 minute walk from east 6th street. We took Mikes recommendations for a few places to go and had a great weekend!
1906720,28073052,2015-03-17,9532490,Sasha,Mike was a great and polite host.  He also has a super cute dog which didn't hurt! 
1906720,28379198,2015-03-23,10307471,Jens-Petter,We had a great time staying at Mike's place. Both Mike and his four legged friend Angus really made us feel at home. The house itself is located in a very quiet and safe neigbourhood on the east downtown side of Austin. Mike also let us use his bicycles during our stay (through sxsw) which made getting around Austin super easy. Everything was as described and we would both recommend Mike's place and be more than happy to stay there again! Thanks!
1906720,29417306,2015-04-07,23281749,Victoria,Had a fantastic time in Austin.  I didn't meet Mike in person but he was able to give me all the information I needed to make my stay great. The house is beautiful and in a great location.  I was able to walk to heaps of places. Mike's tips on places to go was spot on.
1906720,29789023,2015-04-12,23552401,Stefan And Angie,"We didn't have the chance to meet Mike personally, but nevertheless everything was organized perfectly for our arrival and it was always nice and uncomplicated to text with him when we had questions. The house is in a very nice neighborhood, in walkable distance to the lake and many good bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed our time at Mikes house in Austin!"
1906720,30246703,2015-04-19,17198347,Martin,"Great listing. The house was clean and inviting. There was plenty of parking, and the host was extremely communicative and helpful. It's a short walk from a bunch of stuff, and downtown was only about a $5 Uber away. Would definitely consider staying here again if I came back through town. "
1906720,30873819,2015-04-28,19301122,Patrick,I had a pleasant stay at Mike's house. He was away on business but was very considerate with checking in on me through texting.
1906720,31708813,2015-05-09,29817317,Andrew,"I did not see much of Mike on my trip, but he was helpful and always quick to respond. The house was nice and close to a bunch of great spots to eat and drink. Would definitely stay here again if I am back in Austin."
1906720,32692881,2015-05-20,18353727,Jacob,"I had a great stay here, the house is perfectly located for East 6th and Rainey, where I spent most of my time; getting downtown was quick as well.

There were no problems of any sort.  Mike was away at work most of the time, and friendly and accommodating when he was around.  He was also very quick to respond to texts, which I appreciated.  The room was clean and private.

I was very happy with my stay and would definitely go again!"
1906720,33433049,2015-05-28,1447103,Shirley,"I truly loved my stay here (even in the middle of torrential rainstorms) amidst Mike's well designed, artsy house. Mike was responsive and very friendly (as was his sweet dog). His house was clean and quiet, and the bedroom was extremely comfortable.  The location is a hop skip and jump from the a number of cool cafes, bars, and restaurants. I was able to walk to the river in about 5 minutes.  No doubt, this is a crazy good deal for the space and location."
1906720,33731656,2015-05-31,33856979,Phillip,Eveything was great I wish you had said there was Ac. And not to have your friends crash at your place when someone's there 
1906720,35244575,2015-06-16,3610867,Megan,"The pad was great! Mike wasn't there, but made everything easy. Great location also! "
1906720,35670611,2015-06-21,6482236,Andres,"Great experience. Host is super accommodating. He had to take off last minute for a work trip, but no hiccups in my stay. He addressed any need/question I had with prompt responses. "
1906720,37329808,2015-07-06,3481622,Matt,Great place to stay! Mike was a great host. His house is quiet and comfortable and in a good location. We were using Car2Go for our trip and we were always able to find one within a short walking distance. Be sure to check out the breakfast taco place nearby.
1906720,37765620,2015-07-10,3032429,Allison,"Mike and his sidekick (dog), Angus, were great hosts! The apartment was definitely hip and the room had plenty of space and a super comfy bed. His house is just up the street from the running/biking trail on the river which was perfect for early morning runs and biking to Barton Springs. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Mike gave us some great local recommendations. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and just a quick walk to great restaurants, bars, and shops both in East Austin and across the river in South Austin. It was definitely a great place to spend our week :)"
1906720,38450776,2015-07-15,35585473,Nick,"Mike was my first host and first experience with Airbnb. My whole experience was smooth and Mike was super friendly. Loved his style and the home location. A few blocks, walking distance, from Rainey Street and a few blocks from the Colorado River. Super convenient for those of you without cars. Mike was in and out so it seemed like I had the whole place to myself. Thanks Mike. "
1906720,38877200,2015-07-19,24571201,Nicolas,"Mike's house was as described in the pictures, clean and with a lovely texas vintage touch. The neighbourhood was perfect, it's close to the the action and quiet at the same time. Austin is a great city and this was the perfect spot."
1906720,40935847,2015-08-03,6451026,Joel,Mike was out of town while i stayed but the communication was awesome and the place was great. Great location close a heap of great bars and food trucks. Great place to stay for Austin Adventures
1906720,41757623,2015-08-09,34099849,Erin,Mike was a fabulous host. He was accommodating and offered tons of great suggestions. We were able to follow up on some of his leads and he did not steer us wrong. His home is minutes from Rainey St and just a short walk to downtown. We will definitely be booking with Mike the next time we visit. 
1906720,44193136,2015-08-24,9304817,Serena,"Mike was out of town when we stayed here, but very easy to get in contact with if we needed anything. His friend was staying their as well, but we seemed to be on opposite schedules so we didn't have much interaction. Dog friendly (yay!), close to a lot of great bars and restaurants and the highway for easy access to other parts of the city. Walking distance to Veracruz for breakfast tacos (which we did twice!). Clean, quiet, nicely decorated. I wouldn't call it fancy, but it's perfect for someone who wants a nice and affordable place to crash when you are exhausted from exploring such a cool city."
1906720,44435703,2015-08-26,3687352,Caz,I did not meet mike but his friend was very helpful. The neighborhood was the best! Close to the river and cool bars such as the white horse which I highly recommend. Great art collection as well. I really dug Mike's style! 
1906720,46306065,2015-09-09,19482437,Kelly,Mike was really nice and responsive and the place is perfect for just a place to crash with easy access to cool stuff in East Austin and downtown.
1906720,46989364,2015-09-14,20544681,Kor,My Nephew and I started our roadtrip with a couple of nights in Austin. We stayed with Micheal and it could not be better. His house is perfectly located. You can walk to most places. About Micheal nothing but good... He was kind enough to join us on our first night and he showed us some cool bars and gave us some very good tips. We had fun talking and drinking a couple of Austin brewed beer. If you are looking for a kind host and a room on a great location.. Do not look any further..
1906720,48007215,2015-09-22,11571542,Craig,"Michael was a terrific host, even though I didn't meet him! (He was out of town when I was in Austin.) He was extremely communicative from afar and his place was as described. No complaints from me! Thanks, and I'll be sure to stay again next time I'm in town!"
1906720,48763530,2015-09-28,24499236,Krystal,"I had a great experience! Perfect location, super quaint and cute place :-) 
Didn't get a chance to meet Michael but he was great in communicating with me the entire time. 
 This was my first time visiting Austin and I loved it! I will def stay here again next time I'm in Austin. 

Thank you Michael "
1906720,49455265,2015-10-04,16925075,Madeline,"My best friend and I loved our stay at Michael's hip home. It's tucked away from the street and surrounded by trees. There was plenty of parking and the neighborhood was friendly and quiet. Nice escape after a night out on Sixth Street. There are several places within walking distance and less than a $10 uber ride to the bars. We didn't get a chance to meet Mike, but he was very responsive and helpful. His dog Angus is the best. My friend doesn't even like dogs and she quickly became friends with him. Highly recommend this place and would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
1906720,49707471,2015-10-05,20351943,Charlotte,"I did not stay with Michael during my Austin trip. Although he was very good at communicating he was very busy with ACL. I  visited his place and the door was answered by the bnb guests at the time. They conveyed that his place was a good crash pad for the festival. I knew he'd be working the festival all day and there might be a good chance he wouldn't be able to get back to change the sheets, etc. so I decided to crash with my friends who were also there for ACL. If I had the opportunity to cancel for a refund I would have... But unfortunately there was a strict cancellation policy. I think if ACL wasn't so busy there would have been no way I would have coughed up $180 to stay alone with the host being gone and right after a guest was just leaving. "
1906720,50018363,2015-10-08,14135557,Jonathan,"The place is conveniently located in East Austin where downtown is a short 20 min walk / ~5 min drive away. One can also very easily reach South Congress by car (~8 mins). 

While I did not get a chance to meet Michael, I did get a change to meet the dog Angus. He'll bark initially, but he warms up to you."
1906720,50466340,2015-10-12,40993380,Jamal,Michael helped me feel at home. The neighborhood was great and everything was described as he noted. 
1906720,51890956,2015-10-25,28166800,Michelle,"Michael was a great host and his house is in a great location to explore Austin, walking distance to some really cool bars and cafe's in East Austin. Michael was at work when we arrived but he was in constant contact with us and left us clear checking in instructions. When we met him later on he was really friendly and extremely helpful, told us of a gig in town that night and sent us the link to get tickets.  The room was nice and clean and he provided clean towels for us. Would definitely recommend his house to anyone looking to visit Austin."
3913413,21231874,2014-10-13,10781347,Mindy,"The house was cozy and accommodating, which made for a smooth and easy trip. Everything was exactly as pictured and the welcome packet was very informative. Ana was awesome at checking in on us and making sure we didn't need anything. I only hope she enjoyed us as guests as much as we enjoyed her as a host and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have a nice relaxing weekend in Austin."
3928248,18868082,2014-09-01,20738188,Xaniel,"Our stay with Kiona was wonderful, she was able accommodate 5 of us with ease. Her home was clean & comfortable. My favorite part of her home is the upstairs living area where she demonstrates her passion for art. Kiona was also kind enough to have breakfast ready for us before she left for work the next day. Overall 5/5 experience, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in atx. 

-Thank you for your hospitality :)"
3928248,22018047,2014-10-28,20359952,Aaron,"I was in Austin for the Ironman 70.3 Triathlon and needed a place that would be quiet on a Saturday evening. I found Kiona's house, which was close to the race site and she went out of her way to not only make sure the house was quiet before my early wake-up the day after, but she also showed me the sights in Austin. Kiona has a very spacious, clean and comfy home and she is a very nice and personable host. I would highly recommend Kiona's house and would definitely stay there again without a doubt."
3928248,27701324,2015-03-09,4232237,Parthasarathi,"Kiona, has a nice place close to downtown Austin. Communication with her was very quick and very easy. I had my reservation set within a day. Her instructions were clear and easy, and my stay at her place was very comfortable. 

I met Kiona and her mother the morning I was checking out, and both of them are very warm and affectionate people. It was a great pleasure hanging out with them, I hope to go back to her place the next time I visit Austin. "
3928248,28127103,2015-03-18,4096681,Natasha,"Kinoa house is clean and well kept. It's located in a quite suburban area of Austin. If like me you don't have a car it gets quite expensive too take a taxi everyday. Kino is a real sweetie, she goes out of her way to help you and  she even came too pick me up when I got lost on my first bike ride back to the house. So when staying with her you know your in safe hands. "
3928248,28912353,2015-03-31,10955307,Kenny,Kiona is one of the nicest/caring people you will ever meet. She is always checking in to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. The place is just like the pictures show. Clean peaceful home in a quiet gated community. Highly recommend staying with a car/rental because you cant really walk anywhere.
3928248,32764414,2015-05-21,3761411,Tameca,"This was a perfect stay for me. I was away from home for 3 weeks and stayed with Kiona the last of those three weeks. Before that I was in a hotel for a week and a friend's house another week. Kiona and her place was the closest to ""home"" I felt while I was away. Comfortable bed, very clean accommodations, and a perfect place to get work done. I would absolutely stay again when in the area. Thanks Kiona! "
3928248,33144228,2015-05-25,32540073,Sasha,"My stay at Kiona's was wonderful! The room and common areas were very clean. I felt very safe because of the gated neighborhood. Although she wasn't there, she gave very clear instructions on how to pick up the key and who to call if there were any problems. I will definitely stay again."
3928248,34583902,2015-06-09,28744283,Myles,"This was a wonderful experience.  The space was clean, private and comfortable and Kiona could not have been a more gracious and helpful host."
3928248,37405301,2015-07-06,29593873,Elizabeth,"Kiona was an absolute JOY to communicate with. Though I didn't get to meet her personally, she made sure to tell me the best places I could buy creme brulee and suggested I check out Spider House. Kiona was very accommodating to my friend and I- she left out a futon for our third person even though our 3rd person was unable to come last minute. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Kiona provided us with towels, there was shampoo and bath soap readily available, and the home was located in a secure neighborhood. 
The couple staying in the master bedroom were friendly and since we were all touring, we only saw each other once out of the 3 days. 

I would highly recommend staying with Kiona. She is a sweet, beautiful person who makes you feel welcome and at home in her city. "
3928248,40366007,2015-07-30,19072411,Brittney,"Kiona is a dynamite host!- generous, sharp, fun and provides excellent communication. The house was great- comfortable, convenient location, easy to get to central Austin/downtown even during heavier than normal traffic times. The home is an awesome value and I'd absolutely stay again if the opportinity arises."
3928248,43159830,2015-08-17,37417493,Iana,"I don't even know where to start! Kiona is such a special person, she had the kindest heart and we clicked from day one. She made me feel like home, made sure I had everything I needed. Made me coffee in the morning, she also gave me a bottle of wine (that we eventually enjoyed together while chatting away the whole evening). I have made a new best friend!
Kiona's house is breathtaking gorgeous with everything you need. Extremely clean and welcoming, in a secure and quiet neighborhood. Amazing location, very close to everything! "
3928248,43812487,2015-08-22,33278381,Ryan,"Kiona is a very sweet, personable individual. She was very welcoming the night we arrived. She was very encouraging about having us go out and explore the new city we were in. She even had a few suggestions of where and how to get there the best way! I-35 is a mess in Austin, best to avoid it at all costs."
3928248,49808072,2015-10-06,43453755,Ana,"It was a good experience, our host give us a good attention. "
3928248,50796981,2015-10-14,20267363,Andrew,"Great time with K and her roommate. They were very friendly and open, the listing is beautiful and will cost 20-25$ to get downtown with an uber or lyft"
6152060,31410981,2015-05-04,5316299,Graham,"My girlfriend Maria and our dog Huck absolutely loved staying at the Cicada Guest House. Tom and Emily made us feel very welcome and the place was beautiful. 
The guest house is new and modern, and equipped with anything you could need.  The high ceilings and large windows made the space feel big and open. We loved the unique touches like touch lighting by the bed, the outdoor shower and organic soaps. The bed was really comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped.
The property is beautifully landscaped which makes you feel like you are in an oasis in the city. We enjoyed taking our dog down the trail by the side of the house which takes you to Secret Beach on the Colorado River.
In addition, the location is awesome. You can hop on Cesar Chavez and be downtown in minutes and it is within walking distance to some great restaurants like Jacoby's, Sawyer and Co. and Justines. 
If you can't tell already, we loved staying here! 
Thanks again, Tom and Emily.
P.S. Can we move in? 
"
6152060,49588960,2015-10-05,33407769,Stephanie,"Had an amazing time here with me and my 3 girlfriends! Such a nice modern home. Perfect location for wanting to explore Austin. Everyone who assisted us with our stay were extremely nice and polite. Gave us our own privacy yet if needed, immediately available. We really had such a great time at this home. If I were to come back to visit, I would definitely consider staying here again. Great first time experiencing using Airbnb. 5 stars easily. "
6152060,50269593,2015-10-11,34873645,Tuyền,"My friends and I came into town for ACL. Tom and Emily's place is conveniently located for us; close enough to Zilker park that we can uber back and forth but far enough from downtown that we don't have to deal with traffic when we have to use our car. 

Their place is beautiful!  The pictures does not do it enough justice.  The guest house is so modern, everything looks brand new, and the decor just pulls everything together. We also enjoyed the trail that lead to the Colorado river. 

I highly recommend this place."
5136866,50488035,2015-10-12,36478138,Jordan,"Michael met us at the condo the first day, which was very much appreciated for a few reasons. Firstly, he had a bunch of good ideas of things to do, places to eat, and things to see that we wouldn't have thought of before. Also, he wanted to give us the tour of his place, which included a stocked fridge, wine, beer, food, you name it. On top of that, he asked us for specifics that he could pick up for us at the grocery store. After about an hour of talking with him, we left on the short walk to Rainey Street (our favorite hangout of the trip). The condo was great, it had a little patio with a small grill, table and chairs. The location was the reason why we chose this place and it couldn't have worked out better. I am already looking forward to coming back."
1984800,10891271,2014-03-11,2099066,Andrew,"Sara & Marcos were great right from the start. Communication was top notch, even when I had to arrive a day late due to flights.

There home was a perfect spot for SXSW and I'm sure will be perfect for any other conventions in Austin. The room was great, with everything I needed for my few days in Austin.

Hope to be back next year! :)"
1984800,10989228,2014-03-16,4281099,Jeff,"The place had a nice set up. Sara met me to check in and was very accomadating. The dogs are a bit wild for my taste, but to each is own. I was at the place for very little time, so there's not much more to say. The neighborhood didn't feel particularly safe and a local police man I asked said it's not advised to walk around there. If you have a car, you should be golden. "
1984800,11619828,2014-04-09,13013488,Stelios,Sara and Marcos were perfect. They made everything easy. Roomate Simone was accommodating too. The room had privacy and was spacious with a desk. We're happy we stayed there and would again on our next visit!
1984800,19254523,2014-09-08,12609481,Thomas,Nice place and great hosts close to downtown. 
1984800,19304649,2014-09-09,3954783,Andie & Lauren,When I stayed with Sara and Marcos I wasn't expecting that I would end up meeting some new friends in Austin but I did!   I ended up hanging out and talking to Sara all evening. The house is lovely and  the room is huge and comfortable. Hearing chickens in the morning was also just the best.  If you need a room in Austin I highly recommend staying with Sara and Marcos!
1984800,20449913,2014-09-29,4837479,Maggie,"We had a pleasant weekend stay at Sara and Marcos' home, location was great, close to downtown and UT. They were very accommodating with our arrival and departure time, and their housemate Katie was very friendly as well. The only thing I will point out is that the room isn't exactly as pictured, when we arrived, we were told the room has recently been rearranged, we had a pull out couch/bed instead of the futon in the listing photo, the room was a bit like a sunroom/storage/pantry, it also shared a wall with the kitchen, wasn't a huge issue for us since we were out the majority of the day and only came back to sleep, but might be for some if you are planning to spend a lot of time in the room/or is sensitive to rangehood noise/scents. 
Overall we would recommend staying with Sara and Marcos if you are looking for a very reasonably priced place with a great location, did I mention they were also walking distance from Franklin BBQ?! "
1984800,20914873,2014-10-07,6736989,David,Sara and Marcos were great hosts. They were super helpful during our quick stay and gave us some really good advice on where to look for possible places to live. Sara had some great tips on places to visit for good cocktails and is very knowledgable as a local Austinite. They were both super chill and hospitable...we loved their eclectic home and the chickens too! 
1984800,21221350,2014-10-13,661639,Mo,"Sara and Marcos are wonderful hosts! From coordinating my arrival to making sure I had everything for a comfortable stay, they thought of it. The room is spacious and bright. More importantly, they're very friendly and inviting -- I enjoyed sharing stories and experiences with them. Sara had great tips on nearby food spots to check out and places to go out. I would definitely recommend staying with them!"
1984800,21846103,2014-10-25,22330428,Nathaniel,Great place to stay and easily accessible by foot to all that Austin has to offer. Would definitely stay here again.
1984800,22029727,2014-10-28,21750288,Manyoo,I had a great time with the lovely couple. They are very friendly and accommodating. Lucky to have such good hosts.
1984800,22190678,2014-11-01,2204132,Inma,"Sara and Marcos' home is just perfect. If you are looking for a beautiful and super clean house, this is your place. Plus they have tons of te and organic products. They even have their own chicken eggs! I would definitely stay here again. "
1984800,23633940,2014-12-07,2838405,Astrud,We had a lovely time at Sara and Marcos' home despite our short stay there. Marcos is such a nice guy who was always attentive to our needs. We did not get a chance to meet Sara because she was out of town but we still felt extremely welcomed and at home at their place. It's close to downtown Austin and a lot of great restaurants. Did I mention the chickens? They were great! We had a blast and would love to come back here! 
1984800,24391428,2014-12-27,11734505,Laura,"We visited Sara and Marcos during Christmas time. They are extremely friendly, flexible and nice people.  Sara knows where to go in Austin and Marcos tried to teach us some spanish. As a surprise they invited us to have a dinner with them when we arrived. 5/5 :)
House is very cozy, personal and location is great. "
1984800,24985765,2015-01-04,480039,Sara,Sara and Marcos were very welcoming and their house cozy and clean. They are conveniently located in walking distance to some good eating spots. The walk into downtown was very manageable.  They're good people!
1984800,25292271,2015-01-11,25549823,Ashlee,"My husband and I stayed in a different room than in the one listed, since the kitchen was being renovated. Sara and Marcos were very kind and welcoming. We were mostly in and out during our stay, but completely connected with them in the brief times we were around. "
1984800,25398413,2015-01-14,4460996,Andrew & Diana,Sara was an awesome host. Friendly and welcoming. The place is conveniently located (and very close to Franklin BBQ!!) and the room is lovely. We would definitely stay with Sara and Marcos again the next time we visit Austin.
1984800,27925352,2015-03-15,739260,Ryan,"Accommodating. Polite. Extremely convenient. 

This was the perfect rental.  I was in for SXSW. As a professional, it was everything I needed.

Thank you.
"
1984800,33470739,2015-05-28,9226360,Ben,"Sara and Marcos were super nice, helpful, and generous with their time in chatting and giving directions/advice on Austin. The room was clean and tidy. Nice backyard with chickens! Good coffee nearby at Figure 8."
1984800,34989589,2015-06-14,20304835,Charles,Very nice couple. We would be happy to stay with them again. Its about 20+- min walk to 6th street and the house is in a good location. Highly recommended.
5115817,26501975,2015-02-14,6593041,Jared,Great place convenient to downtown. Place was clean and inviting. Was perfect for my work week stay.
5115817,30521508,2015-04-23,7533320,Brian,"Kristen was very hospitable and the place was better than what we expected. Everything is new and some things were still in the process of being installed....like the hardwood flooring and some closet doors. But everything else was there for our needs. At one point, we needed some towels and she didn't hesitate to drop them off late at night. 

The neighborhood is east Austin and its changing for the better with many homes being bought up and renevated. The area is safe and is less than a 10 minute drive to downtown. The house does back up to a busy street, but that didn't prevent us from getting a restful sleep. 

I would certainly stay here again and bring more people. The house can sleep 5-6 people, and has a nice large deck with a built in grill, full kitchen with all appliances for your needs.  Party party party!

I appreciate the new appliances they put in, the cleanliness, location, and most importantly, how nice and helpful Kristen was. 



"
5115817,34849906,2015-06-13,13046089,Danielle,"Kristen made us feel very welcome and answered any and all questions right away. The guest house was very clean and modernly decorated. We were within walking distance to many restaurants and attractions and a short cab/uber ride away from 6th street. There are two full-size bunk beds in addition to several other beds and a separate bedroom downstairs making this a fantastic place to have large parties stay. If we come back to Austin, I will be staying here and I'll be bringing more people with me!"
5115817,36904692,2015-07-02,36007631,Adam,"Kristen/Clint upgraded us to a different propert in Austin. That property was amazing. It had convenient parking, plenty of room, a roof top, and it was easily accessible to all parts of Austin. Clint was very nice and met us when we arrived. Overall I would recommend any of their properties as they did a great job hosting."
5115817,39413873,2015-07-23,2771751,David,"The space was as described if not a little bigger a little better. The smartlock system made life very easy for myself and my three guests. The team was responsive to every text, every question, every request. It was really a perfect stay.....minus being 100 degrees in Texas; not their fault. "
5115817,43714122,2015-08-21,10969148,Colby,Great location with easy access to downtown. Definitely a place to rent when you have a big crowd (10 or so) b/c there are beds everywhere in this place. 
5115817,46514312,2015-09-11,7151876,Bay,"Kristen, Clint, et al. were very helpful and responsive even upon late arrival. The house is centrally located with a great setup, and the key system works nicely once all activated. NB: access to the back house is actually via an alley behind the main street and has good parking, so head there rather than in front as address suggests."
90898,251527,2011-05-04,526550,Ian,Lester is a great guy and an accommodating host.  He keeps his place clean and he is very friendly.  If I ever go back to Austin I would definitely check on his place first.  
90898,410626,2011-08-01,654806,Mike,"Lester was a great host! So friendly and gracious...made me feel so welcome since day one and acted more like an old friend than a host. Cute place, it really is just a block or two away from all the action here in Austin. "
90898,430767,2011-08-08,923669,Lovis,"So we went to Austin on Friday night and had to find a place last minute. Lester contacted me over the standby list (great feature!!!) and we made a deal immediately. We got to Austin around 11:00pm which must have been inconvenient for our host but he didn't complain at all. Our room was made up and ready! We were very pleased with our stay and will probably stay with Lester again whenever we will come to Austin again.
He is a very interesting person and can give you great tips to find your way around Austin if you ask him!"
90898,433722,2011-08-09,72129,Aron,"Lester is a very chill, down to earth guy. His place: a good location next to all the coolness that south congress has to offer. Though I had a car, you could stay here without one, and probably still have a great time. Oh, and if you're into mopeds, Lester can hook you up. Two thumbs up!"
90898,479875,2011-08-27,862095,Verity,"Lester was a really great guy, so friendly and helpful and very accommodating. He booked us via the standby feature and was really patient with our rapidly changing plans. He knew heaps about Austin and even got us into a concert for free. He also offered to drive us around if we wanted. The place was a bit messy but a fantastic location, just a few blocks from all the tasty restaurants and food stands of SoCo and the quirky shops. "
90898,534084,2011-09-15,1017865,Brooke,"Lester Chiu was probably the best host I could ever ask for. He was more than a host - he was a friend, a confidant.... and he was cool. That's quite a trio. 

Our trip would have been NOTHING without him.

Lester, I heart you. "
90898,650411,2011-10-21,420720,Eddie,"Lester was a great host.  He was welcoming and generous.

The room was just fine.  The bed super comfy.  

Recommended stay."
90898,703229,2011-11-08,1099983,Antonio,"Lester is a very nice guy.  He made sure that I had everything I needed, went out of his way to offer little bits and pieces of extra help, and all in all, a great host.  The place is cozy and in a great location plus the bed was super comfy, almost made it hard to get up and do anything!  Highly recommended!"
90898,794812,2011-12-19,1502920,Andrew,"I had to find a place to stay at the last minute, and Lester was really responsive and helpful from the time I sent the first message until he ran out of the house as I was leaving to keep me from forgetting something. His house is exactly like the pictures - old and small, but nice and very comfortable. It's also in one of my favorite areas of Austin, South Congress, and there are a lot of things you can walk to, and it's not hard to catch a cab if you want to go somewhere else.

I was in town for a wedding and didn't have much spare time, but Lester had all kinds of fun things going on that I wish I could have taken advantage of. His recommendations were excellent - I haven't met a more connected and knowledgeable Austin local.

Lester is a great host! I couldn't have asked for more."
90898,894960,2012-01-31,1577718,Jad,"I literaly felt like I was in my own house...It doesn't get better than that :) Lester is a chill genuine goodhearted guy. He generously offers to help even when I didn't ask for it, that's a true sign of a gracious host.

10 Minutes walk to downtown and tons of restaurants next door.
Austin is one of the coolest and most beautiful cities I have ever been to...and I've been around!

..And the people in Austin are amazing as well :)"
90898,2472316,2012-10-01,3543321,Carolyn,"I had a wonderful stay at Lester's house, which is conveniently located ridiculously close to South Congress. He actually ended up being out of town the entire time, so I had the place pretty much to myself. He was super helpful, and didn't mind a late night panicked call bc I couldn't find the key, and was sure a murder had stolen it and was waiting to kill me. Anyway, he is very laid back and super sweet and accommodating. Great experience. "
90898,2667854,2012-10-20,3751658,Sebastian,"Lester was a great host - friendly, accommodating, welcoming and funny. He helped us to feel at home immediately, and was kind to give us recommendations and tips for our afternoons and evenings. The location of the place was fantastic too, right off S Congress. Thank you again, we had a great time!"
90898,2770578,2012-10-31,3686600,Rohit,Lester's place was a great combination of affordable and close to everything I wanted to do. It is an easy walk to downtown or quick bus ride. There is all kinds of great food places that are a few blocks away. 
90898,2928299,2012-11-20,3235455,Kevin,Lester was an amazing host and a blast to hang out with and talk to. He gave great ideas of where to get great food/drinks and was super helpful in advice on how to get around town with the bus.
90898,3901304,2013-03-25,1618236,Dale,Had a very enjoyable stay at Lester's place.  It was a very reasonably priced place for the absolute best location in Austin.  Lester was very easy to get along with and was ready to help when needed.  Would gladly stay there again.
90898,4069163,2013-04-07,4886838,Stephen,"Lester was literally the best AirBnB experience I've ever had. I was in town for a wedding and he literally helped turn the entire weekend into an amazing party. He's incredibly nice and outgoing, and a lot of fun to hang out with. Most importantly, he was so helpful with any questions I had about the city, and he lives in literally one of the best neighborhoods there. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when I come to Austin. If you're looking for an amazing guide to the city and a genuinely nice person, you can't go wrong with Lester. Best AirBnB ever."
90898,4618826,2013-05-15,4133013,Grant,"I had a great stay with Lester! The room was quiet and comfortable, and his house is in a great location for exploring Austin. I only had the chance to have a beer with Lester on his back porch my final night, but he seems like a chill dude. I would stay here again!"
90898,5625262,2013-07-08,7208224,Matt,"I stayed with Lester over July 4th weekend. My brother's house was full I was looking for a place to stay where my girlfriend and I could have our own room. I didn't know what to expect, having never used Airbnb before, but Lester's house worked out great. He was not home when I arrived, but the place was easy to find. It is in a great location, a couple blocks off South Congress. Finally met Lester the second night of my stay when we arrived home at 2am. He was very nice and even brought us back some tacos from his late-night taco run - they were delicious. He was never in the way and for the most part felt like had our own house when we were there - although most of the time we were out doing things. The only negative part of our stay is that the back room does not get as good AC as the rest of the house, so woke up sweating the first morning - adjusted the thermostat the next night. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend Lester's room."
90898,5739929,2013-07-14,7197778,Angus,"Lester was an incredible host who showed me and my girlfriend a really good time in Austin, from places to eat and drink lester had a plethora of good suggestions.
We felt at home in the house which is neat and well air condition, a good thing for us as we're not used to the heat.
Location is fantastic, very easy to walk or bus.
Would definitely recommend!"
90898,6210052,2013-08-03,2378814,Michael,"Lester was an amazing host... I booked with him about 4 hours before I arrived, as I flew from NYC to Austin.  He recommended a ton of suggested spots around Austin, as it was my first time in town, and made me feel quite welcome.

Thanks Lester!"
90898,7425379,2013-09-19,1288239,Michael,"This place is great! Lester is great, the location is great, the price is great, the house is great..i could go on forever. But really, he's minutes from the main South Congress Hub, he knows everyone in town, you couldn't ask for more! He even cooked me a fabulous meal. I had a great time staying here and can't wait to come back. "
90898,9057514,2013-12-03,7710460,Shaun,Lester was an awesome host. He always had great recommendation on what to do in the area. I'll definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin.
90898,9233043,2013-12-15,9188205,Benjamin,Lester's place was great! I recommend staying here if you're interested in being close to the SOCO district in Austin. I had great communication with Lester and he has great tips on where to eat and visit if you're a first timer in Austin.
90898,9748295,2014-01-07,2743421,Harriet,"We had a really fun time at Lester's abode. He is a friendly, funny guy! The house itself is really comfortable and in a good location. Lester has heaps suggestions of great places to eat/visit but also gives you the space to explore Austin. Would definitely stay with Lester again!"
90898,10404980,2014-02-17,2665569,Robert,"I was in town for the marathon, and Lester's place is in a convenient location as everything I needed was in walking distance. 

I enjoyed my two days in Austin at Lester's. "
90898,11071961,2014-03-19,10779117,Max,The house is in a nice neighborhood and Lester is a great host!
90898,11597652,2014-04-08,13382092,David,"Lester was a superb host and made my stay in Austin very pleasant and enjoyable:

1. He had excellent recommendations for food
2. We did brunch together and I met several of his friends
3. He hooked me up to watch the season premier of Game of Thrones

Even better, when I left a couple of dress shirts accidentally, Lester was more than happy to ship them back to me when I sent him a UPS label.

Simply put Lester went above and beyond the duty of merely hosting me and ensured that I had a wonderful experience in Austin. I would absolutely recommend him to any travelers."
90898,12012854,2014-04-21,7389579,Bryan,"Lester was a fantastic host. His home was in a great location to explore Austin. Lester is quite charming, friendly and lots of fun. I would certainly stay with him again."
90898,12874250,2014-05-12,14858950,David,"Lester is very communicative and knowledgeable about Austin. 
He did his utmost to make me feel comfortable during my stay. 
The place is in a great location in easy walking district of south congress. Great for those who like to eat and shop. Amenities - bed, shower were top notch. 
Had a fantastic time. Thank you Lester!"
90898,13432001,2014-05-27,14651630,Joseph,Lester was incredibly helpful and flexible. He checks us with us to make sure we have everything we need. 
90898,13920580,2014-06-08,5456019,Katie,"Lester was great - so friendly and helpful and fun to be around. He made me feel very welcome and gave me great tips for my time in Austin. He's one of those people that are just instantly likeable! I loved the neighbourhood he's in, there's great food and interesting shops and either a 4 or 10 minute walk to catch the bus to town depending on the bus you catch. I had the best time in Austin and Lester contributed to this - my only regret is that I wasn't able to stay longer. Thanks Lester - hope I'm able to come back in the future!"
90898,17726658,2014-08-16,4161841,Juan,"The house is well located (just off SoCo), clean and cool (which is a life saver in the summer). Lester is a real champ. He always made good recommendations on places to eat, drink. He even dropped me of a one of the restaurants. Cheerful, kind and accommodating, Lester makes for a top host. "
90898,18389177,2014-08-25,20283594,Kyle,"Lester was very informative and hospitable.  A great resource being an Austin native since the 90's, he provided a wealth of information about the area and had great recommendations of sites to see.

The room was just as described.  Small room in a cozy house.  The bed was comfortable and the place was cool the whole time even in the hot August Austin climate.  

I would recommend Lester and his place to any of my friends.

Also, I highly recommend taking advantage of the b-cycle program in Austin.  Much like City Bike in New York City, you can pay $8 and rent a bike for 24 hours, you just need to make sure you check in at a bike station every 30 minutes.  There is a station a couple blocks away from Lester's place and from there you can go to Barton Springs, Congress, the University of Texas, Rainey Street and all of Sixth street.  If you are by yourself and active, there is no better way to experience the city then riding around IMO."
90898,20763428,2014-10-05,21055924,Laura,"Lester wasn't at the house the weekend that we stayed, but he was very communicative and available for us if we had questions.  The house was clean and the beds were comfortable.  The location is quiet and within walking distance to food and shopping.  6th Street and Rainey will probably require a short cab ride.  Thanks for everything!"
90898,20985603,2014-10-09,14318063,Rob,"Was in town for a conference at the Hyatt Regency, and this place was perfectly situated to attend, with a pleasant walk down wonderful South Congress past all the cool shops and friendly bars each day. 

The room was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space for a single traveller, nice bed and ceiling fan & air con to keep out the Texas heat.

Lester was a very friendly and welcoming host and made every effort to make me feel at home, very knowledgeable about the area and was genuinely interested in making sure I had a great time in Austin.

I would definitely recommend staying here, and if I come back in town will  certainly look into staying here again."
90898,26710199,2015-02-17,27264441,Keevan,"It's experiences like this that make me choose Airbnb over hotels. Lester and his girlfriend Jesse made me feel right at home. I couldn't have asked for better hosts!  The location is perfect for people who want to be able to have a good time. There's so much within walking distance or a short drive/Uber lift away!  The space is eclectic, the room was clean and the bed comfortable. I'm glad to have stayed with these guys and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"
90898,27967506,2015-03-15,982842,Rosanne,"Good vibes, friendly hosts and the happiest puppies - that's what Lester's place is all about. I had a short, but sweet stay during SXSW and really appreciated being able to return to a chill spot to both work and decompress after. 

Lester was super-helpful and made sure I knew he was available if I needed anything. I wish I had more time to hang out, as the conversations we had were really positive. 

The place is old-style, but tidy and organized. There's also a patio out the back. There are all the usual amenities and did I say... Puppies?!

Being only 20-30mins walk from the Convention Center was radical, no dealing with traffic for you! In all, I had a great time in Austin."
90898,28244658,2015-03-21,20327915,Natasha,Great experience! Awesome host and great location! Close to everything. I highly recommend Lester for your next trip to Austin. 
90898,28392346,2015-03-23,7342562,Andrea,"Lester was such a wonderful host. He's quick to respond to our questions, very accommodating, friendly, and gave good suggestions on anything Austin/SXSW. My friends and I enjoyed our stay in his place. Even though the room was small, the bed and pull up couch were very comfortable to sleep in. The bathroom was clean and the house was overall homey. Parking was easy (we parked on the street), and the house was conveniently located near South Congress (3-5min walk). It was also just a few minutes cab ride away from 6th St (~$10). My friends and I all agreed that if we're ever in Austin again, we'd want to stay at Lester's.
"
90898,37429444,2015-07-06,25094909,Yu-Ti,Lester is very kind and willing to provide information. We have a good time there!
90898,41319550,2015-08-07,3164614,Gary,Lester and Jessie are wonderful hosts. They were extremely knowledgeable about the area and fun to talk to. When I got there they invited me to join them for breakfast. The room is comfortable and their dogs are phenomenally adorable. 
90898,46235501,2015-09-08,33079079,Jason,Great room in a perfect location! Walking distance from lots of cool stuff.
90898,47946837,2015-09-21,8738227,Sujohn,"Lester was great!  We were in a pinch and he was responsive and flexible.  Checking in with him was easy, and the bedroom was clean.  Good, basic accommodations!"
90898,49447745,2015-10-04,21410249,Vianney,"We had an amazing stay at Lester's house. The location is perfect! Only a few steps away from everything SoCo. Lester was a great host, always available for questions and recommendations. Made our trip to Austin complete! "
90898,50635818,2015-10-13,5006908,Kjetil,"Excellent location, excellent host and excellent hospitality :-)"
90898,52045630,2015-10-26,30884613,Marcus,Lester wasn't there when we stayed at his house but he made that aware before we arrived and made access inside easy enough.  House is funky and cool in a good location just off of everything you would want to explore on S. Congress. We would stay here again if we visited Austin. 
8404063,47902175,2015-09-21,1219184,Laura,"Melody's house is amazing! Spacious, clean, great vibes, awesome neighborhood — and a welcoming, responsive host. I felt right at home in Austin because of this place."
8404063,52097589,2015-10-26,33033250,Brooke,"It was awesome! Melody's house is really conveniently located, clean, comfortable. The Halloween decorations were especially fun. Had a great time! "
1880094,8805196,2013-11-18,9949298,Maru,"Jeany is a great host! She made the booking process so easy for me, and replied all my messages within a few minutes. The guest house is in great shape, clean, everything is new and works, directions were easy to follow. I was feeling a little sick while in Austin and she offered me some tea, which I really appreciated (I had to say no since I don't drink tea). Also, the blinds didn't arrive on time for my stay, so she put a sheet which looked like the real deal to me, and she even offered me a ride to the airport because of this. I will totally rent this guest house again if I ever go back to Austin. The neighborhood is very nice, the lake is pretty close and there are not one, but two, vegan places you can walk to on Cesar Chavez. Great location! Jeany, thanks for all your help and your good care. I wish you the best in your future reservations! :-)"
1880094,8936568,2013-11-26,3105918,Mattie,"My husband and I stayed in Jeany's guest house for almost a week and I can honestly say there were no complaints. 
The room was super clean, the towels were SO FLUFFY, and the bed was very comfortable. 

Jeany was a very generous hostess and we really appreciate her opening up her space to us. 

Five stars - would definatly stay again! "
1880094,9139119,2013-12-09,10006600,Marcus,"Great Experience!

Jeany and her husband were great hosts!

Location.
The location is excellent. It is far enough into the neighborhood to feel at home and close enough to still have access to everything. Most of what I had planned was in the downtown area, so commuting was a breeze. Austin will always have traffic, but here you can bypass most of it. All in all it took about 10 minutes to get to 6th street (about 2 miles for cab) and UT campus. Also about 15 min away to get to Barton Creek mall.

The guest room.
This room was very nice. It has an open layout, similar to an apartment studio. Everything in the room is new and top of the line. Definitely a lot of quality. It has a full size kitchen for whatever cooking purposes. Other than that it is pretty straightforward with a bed and couch. The bed was very comfortable. This room has a full walk in closet as well as bathroom. One important aspect of all of this is that this location was very clean. To close, it was a very comfortable stay in this guest house.

In closing, I would recommend staying at this location. Enjoy Austin!"
1880094,9260214,2013-12-16,10524468,Yuanna,"Just like how the rest have described it, Jeany's guesthouse is awesome. Extremely clean and spotless, well-equiipped kitchen and bathroom, big space and the bed, is my favourite! My boyfriend and I felt comfortable throughout our stay there. Location wise, it is easy to go to places such as 6th st, and even those without cars, there's a straight bus going downtown or university area. Even the bus stop is a walk away. The only two problems I had were the weak wifi signal (not a problem if you are a US citizen as you can depend on 3/4G) and the house doorknob. We had a bit of a problem with it but Jeany and her husband, Mose tried their best to fix it. But that aside, we are pleased for choosing this aamzing place during our stay. Thanks Jeany ad Mose!"
1880094,9335715,2013-12-22,5899333,Cassie,"Jeany is a wonderful host! Her guest house is absolutely beautiful- very cozy bed, spotless bathroom, and a well-equipped kitchen. The location is perfect, too! Literally only a few minutes from 6th Street and many other fun places in Austin. I will definitely be booking here again for my next trip back. Thanks, Jeany!"
1880094,9690760,2014-01-05,9838133,Alyssa,Jeany's place was great! It was very centrally located while being a little bit off the beaten path. Jeany was a delight to work with and made sure that everything was perfect! We hope to stay here again on our next trip to Austin.
1880094,9762010,2014-01-08,10606778,Drew,"Jeany's place was exactly as described. It was super clean. Actually, that might be an understatement. Jeany's place was SUPER DUPER CLEAN! If I could give it 10 stars for cleanliness, I would. Sadly, Airbnb only allows me to give it 5.

My girlfriend and I stayed in Jeany's guest house for 3 nights. The guest house had everything we needed and was in a great location. Jeany also left us a binder w/ great info about Austin and included maps. Overall it was a great place to stay and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!"
1880094,9879278,2014-01-16,37728,Janet,"Jeany's place is SUPERB!  It is SPOTLESS, and very well appointed.  We found everything we needed to make our stay perfect.  Jeany had dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, all of which I think are a BONUS and I very much appreciate.  Jeany's sweet guest house is quiet, peaceful, and cozy.  The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room  to relax after a day of exploring Austin.  Did I say how CLEAN it was?  Oh, yes I did!  But I have to say it again because I appreciate an Airbnb home that is REALLY clean, and this one is!  No BAD odors, or smelly scents.    The Wifi works great, and there is a laundry mat nearby too if you need to do laundry. Jeany was super fast at communication and made it easy for us to check in.  We could've stayed longer in Austin and wish we had.  There is so much to do and see in this city and Jeany's sweet place is a perfect location to use as a home base.  We give Jeany's Guest House a FIVE STAR RATING!  "
1880094,9952734,2014-01-21,9754558,Tara,"Jeanny and Mose are a lovely and welcoming couple that have created such a warm, clean and homey space to feel so comfortable and relaxed while your're away from your own bed and space. We will be there again and again!!!
Thanks J&M!!
Warmly,
Tara&Nick"
1880094,10061953,2014-01-28,5762075,Brandon,"Loved Jeany's guest house! My girlfriend and I stayed there for three nights and had a great experience. Super clean, comfortable, and centrally located, I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin. Jeany was a pleasure to interact with and very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again! "
1880094,10177620,2014-02-04,10161992,Erica,"We loved this little guest house! The place was spotless, and just what we were looking for. Jeany made everything very easy, and she was a fantastic host. Would definitely stay here again. "
1880094,10213127,2014-02-06,11855681,Abe,"Like other review say, the guest house was well appointed, spacious, private and very clean -- spotless!  This was our first airbnb experience, and we really enjoyed it.

We stayed for a couple of nights while on cross-country trip.

Jeany was a great host, very responsive to our many questions about the room and the area, and even left in the room a copy of the local magazine with listings of events and activities.

We had no problems with our stay, and would definitely stay there again."
1880094,10217591,2014-02-07,11003377,Victoria,"The room was great. Bright, clean and larger than expected. The Bed was extremely comfortable and the room was very quiet. One of the best nights sleep I have had while traveling. While my partner and I were only there for one night, we both thought it would be perfect for an extended stay as we never got to take advantage of the fully equipped brand new kitchen. Cheap cab from the airport and from downtown. Jeany was a friendly host who answered questions quickly."
1880094,10253090,2014-02-09,1544174,Hayley,"Jeany's garage apartment was perfect!  It was immaculately clean and its amenities were very nice.  While I was only there for one night, the full kitchen, large closet and ample bathroom were a plus.  Also, its location was great!  I lived in Austin in Tarrytown and hadn't spent too much time on the East Side, but Jeany's apartment was one block off a main artery (Cesar Chavez) and was very, very easy to get around town! Whenever I visit Austin, this garage apartment is definitely at the top of my list. "
1880094,10310836,2014-02-12,3712098,Amy,"Pretty much exactly what we were looking for--comfy bed, nice shower, super clean. Jeany's a great host and always responded quickly to any questions or issues we had. It was my boyfriend's first AirBnB experience and he was amazed by how Jeany had thought of everything we could need. :)

The only downside is occasionally spotty Internet. "
1880094,10381198,2014-02-17,771854,Jerome,Was great place to stay!
1880094,10450795,2014-02-19,11154313,Tate,"Lovely, super clean place with a very comfortable bed and an easy check-in process. Jeany was very communicative and helpful. Great spot for vegans with Mr. Natural and Counter Culture in walking distance! Thanks Jeany!"
1880094,10510310,2014-02-23,10436915,Meredith,"Very, very clean and Jeany was most helpful with any inquiries. Kitchen was well stocked with any supplies you might need for cooking. Very convenient location in a quiet neighborhood."
1880094,10595493,2014-02-26,554460,Caitlin,"This was a great place! Super clean, conveniently located to many great bars and restaurants in Austin and very comfortable! Jeany was very responsive and everything was super easy. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again!"
1880094,10722745,2014-03-04,11934567,Shanna,"Jeany's apartment was perfectly clean, newly renovated, and extremely convenient to all areas of Austin.  We had a couple of issues, which Jeany resolved quickly.  If we visit Austin again, we would certainly stay here again. "
1880094,10917758,2014-03-13,10200363,Alex,"The guest house was very comfortable and extremely clean.  We stayed here for 7 days during SXSW and it was nice to go back somewhere that felt homey.  The area (Holly) is pretty quiet too, far enough away from the downtown chaos, but close enough that you can walk in.  There isn't much in the neighborhood, but it's only about a 20-25 min. walk downtown and Rainey St.  We had a couple of issues with the Wi-Fi but Jeany is super quick to respond and help.  Also, bonus: two of the mornings one of her pugs welcomed us at the door when we were leaving!"
1880094,10977932,2014-03-16,11401145,Kathleen,"Jeany was a great communicator, and even allowed me to check and out outside the normal times to accommodate my schedule. Super happy with the experience. The place is adorable and spacious and so much better than a hotel! 

We ended up walking downtown a couple times because cabs weren't available nearby, but SXSW was going on. Getting one back was fine. The walk was a little over 30 minutes, which wasn't bad given to cooler weather. There is a bus line right outside, but we never managed to take it.

"
1880094,11222541,2014-03-25,6840472,Shannon,We had a wonderful experience with the guest house in east austin!  We had to check in late but Jeany made this process seamless for us.  The room was immaculate and well stocked with essentials.  Thanks for all!
1880094,11319840,2014-03-30,1661870,Ravi,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jeany's guest house. Jeany was very accomodating to us checking in late and she even provided a hair dryer when we requested one. She responded to all of our emails in a timely manner. 

The room was perfect. It was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable, and we appreciated having a full kitchen. The guest house also had a good air conditioner which is very important for any place in Austin. The only possible critique someone could have would be that the wireless was a bit slow, although it didn't bother us. 

The location was great! The neighborhood was quiet and safe. We were very close to downtown and only a short drive away from HEB (a grocery store). 

Staying at this guest house definitely helped make our trip to Austin an amazing one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It's an incredible value. "
1880094,11579035,2014-04-08,3041542,Patrick,"What a great find! I was happy to call this place home for four nights. While it's maybe a bit far off the beaten bath for those without a car or bike, it was warm enough to walk the 30 minutes into town without much issue. The closest bike share is about a 20 minute walk. The 21 bus line is right outside of the door also makes it very easy to travel into downtown. Very quiet, clean and spacious! Jeany has also provided great amenities such as great towels and cups and odds and ends. So helpful! Would stay here again!"
1880094,11709765,2014-04-13,8334245,Roger,"The guest house was pretty amazing, clean, quiet, within walking distance or a short card ride of major attractions.  First time using Airbnb and after this experience I would definitely book this guest house again."
1880094,11736990,2014-04-14,337985,Phil,Great place
1880094,11853447,2014-04-17,10846001,Rebecca,"The host was super easy to work with and the place was really cute! I would suggest having a car if you stay here, though, as it's about a 20-30 minute walk to downtown Austin (we didn't mind walking, but having a car was ideal). The place was nice and clean, but we did have some connectivity issues with the internet. No iron, either, but that's not a deal breaker! Really great place overall! "
1880094,12267463,2014-04-28,10979915,Matthew,"This guest house was absolutely amazing. It was clean and tidy and nice and quiet. It was equipped with all the essentials. The bed was super comfy too! Jeany is a fantastic host - very friendly and accommodating. 

The location is also great - perfect for getting in to the city especially if you don't want to stay in a hotel - just down the road is the riverside walk (40 min to town) or there are nearby bus routes which make it easy to get into the city centre. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8-night stay here. Having such a nice place really helped make the trip smooth and pleasant. Highly recommended!"
1880094,12602795,2014-05-06,7657193,Hannah,"We had a wonderful experience staying in Jeany's guest house. The place was spotless, comfortable, and super cute. There were clean towels, plenty of hot water, and an extremely comfy bed. We loved that there was separate trash and recycling and the kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. If you're looking to stay somewhere that allows you to explore a little, this is a good place to stay. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxed, but located in walking distance to several pockets of bars, food trucks, and restaurants outside of downtown. However, it's still an easy walk or bus trip into downtown. We were able to save so much money on transportation this trip due to the location of the guest house. We didn't meet Jeany during our stay, but we did meet her husband. He was very friendly and briefly gave us some ideas of things to do in case we were looking. There was also a very nice list of places to try with some maps in a binder in the guest house which was helpful in finding some places to grab food. We didn't use it, but there were directions for the AC which is located over the bed. There is also a ceiling fan and plenty of windows to open up for a breeze. One morning, we also were able to meet their adorable and calm little pugs who trotted over to greet us briefly. We really can't say enough good things about our experience here. The next time we're heading back to Austin, we're definitely going to see if we can stay here again! "
1880094,12812787,2014-05-12,11662068,Victoria,"My boyfriend and I were in Austin for a small vacation and loved staying at Jeany's guest house. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! Jeany and her husband were very helpful with food recommendations and there was a binder provided for us with lots of pamphlets and maps that was also really helpful. The location is great, it was quiet and finding parking was very easy but it was still walking distance to some parks and restaurants and a short drive to many other attractions. "
1880094,12914803,2014-05-14,11148752,Kristen,"Our host Jeany was awesome.  We didn't really see her too much because of our schedule while in town, but we were so pleased with our accommodations while in Austin.  Everything at their guest house is extremely clean and neat.  Their neighborhood is convenient to everything and is very walk-able with several restaurants and a great trail close by.  Would recommend this place to anyone!  "
1880094,13137977,2014-05-20,13345069,Edwin,"My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed the stay at Jeany's place. Although we did not have a chance to meet (she was out of town), she provided all the information needed in advance and it made the whole experience so much easier. 

The location is so close to everything in Austin and parking is very easy on the street right outside the house. The guest house is equipped with everything that you'd ever need and Jeany would make sure that you are taken care of. I will return for sure if I ever visit Austin again."
1880094,13260624,2014-05-23,8167906,Michael,"Jeany was a pleasure to communicate with, and the studio apartment above her garage was very clean, new and an overall nice place to stay for the evening. Note that there is mild traffic outside the window so you may hear cars, buses and motorcycles - something I wasn't use to so I felt it worth mentioning. Also, there is no TV, radio, docking station, etc.. so bring your own (electronic) entertainment. Overall, I would recommend to anyone who needs a sparkling clean place to crash near downtown."
1880094,13405430,2014-05-27,2853683,Ryan,"Jenny was awesome and super attentive to our questions about Austin.  The apt. was very nice and simple, with its all white layout. The air conditioner made it a lovely respite from the heat and humidity of Austin which I am definitely not used to. The kitchen was great especially since Austin is a city of very heavy foods, so being able to throw a salad together in the apt was great.  The keyless door lock is a stroke of genius by the way.  Its incredibly private.  There was a convenience store right on the corner.  Also, it was immaculately clean when we arrived, a huge plus.  All good things and a great place to stay in Austin.  Oh, and a side note, Jenny was very accommodating to our crazy travel timeline of arrivals and departures.  Great place, we'd definitely come back!"
1880094,13565324,2014-05-31,13218224,Kj,"The apartment was lovely and exactly as advertised.  Jeany was welcoming and was a great host.  She made sure all of our questions were answered without intruding on our private space.  

The apartment's location is ideal to access public transport, parks and the night scene on 6th; yet a quiet respite."
1880094,13732228,2014-06-03,975375,Jon,"The apartment was very comfortable and fully equipped, even bigger than we expected!  We were in town for a wedding and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.  Check-in/out was super easy and Jeany was always in touch when we had questions.  A great place to base your Austin stay."
1880094,14010187,2014-06-10,6094008,Kristin,"Jeany's place was amazing! Close to everything. My husband and I came for XGames, and it was a great location to get to COTA. The place is spotless, everything you need is there. No problems! Thanks Jeany :)"
1880094,14337010,2014-06-17,6725499,Lauren,"We loved staying here- if we could have just moved in permanently, we would have! The space is beautiful, clean and relaxing, and is exactly as promised. We stayed here for a week and were extremely satisfied. Great location, amazing space 10/10, would stay again."
1880094,14555040,2014-06-22,330603,Dominique,Jeany's little slice of heaven in Austin is absolutely  divine! My boyfriend and I stayed for two nights and it was perfect. 50 meters from a bus stop which takes you right into downtown for $1. The guest house was better than any hotel and was a much better way to explore Austin. Jeany was very accommodating to our travel plans and we were very grateful. Would definitely stay again when we're back in Austin. Thanks Jeany! 
1880094,14815699,2014-06-27,8372141,Julia,"I had a great stay here - the guest house is: 

1. Exactly as pictured
2 Spotlessly clean
3. Has very good, and super quiet airconditioning
4. A super comfy bed
5. A really hot shower
6. Large for the space, so you have lots of room to spread out
7. Easy to find, and also easy to check in and out 
8. Has a very accomodating and super responsive host

Basically - it ticks all the boxes for somewhere to stay in Austin, and a great choice for accomodation! "
1880094,14992210,2014-06-30,4805598,Tristan,"Our stay at Jeany's place was fantastic. 
We didn't get to meet Jeany, but her place was awesome. Really nice, super clean, bigger than a hotel room - and less than half the price!
Just a short hop to downtown.
Despite not meeting - Jeany was able to provide a bunch of restaurant tips, none of which we got around to trying unfortunately. Our stay was too short!
Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin."
1880094,15082213,2014-07-01,6877070,Emmanuel,"Jeany was very accommodating and was very helpful, her place is an oasis for anyone visiting Austin. I would recommend her place to anyone. It's amazing! Thank you jeany! "

Jeany was a very attentive host. She was easy to get in touch with and addressed all of our questions promptly. 

I would stay there again in a heartbeat. "
1880094,15302856,2014-07-07,12337703,Krystal,This was a great place to stay! The apartment looks exactly how it does in the photos. Jeany was very accommodating making sure everything was ready for our arrival and we didn't have any problems. The place is on a quiet street yet very close to downtown. Everything we wanted to do was just minutes away. 
1880094,15665272,2014-07-14,10935114,Matt,Jeany is a lovely host and the guest house is immaculate. Would recommend to all to stay here as it is a quick bus trip to downtown. Jeany also leaves information brochures and maps of Austin to help everyone out!

1880094,16454240,2014-07-28,13748061,Jennifer,"We loved staying at Jeany's guest house. This was my first stay with an airbnb host, and my husband and I could not have been happier. The space was very clean and the bed was more comfy than any hotel bed I have ever slept in. The location was within walking distance to the lake and a short drive to many popular Austin attractions. Jeany was very accommodating and was quick to message me back with responses to any questions I had. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Austin. "
1880094,16757455,2014-08-01,19106627,Jurgen,"Very nice and clean apartment. Easy access, separate guest house with own entrance. I enjoyed staying there. Can recommend without a doubt."
1880094,16946552,2014-08-04,13580245,Jack,"Everything about Jeany's guest house was just great.  It was our first Airbnb experience, and it couldn't have been better.  The guest house is new, fresh, clean, well lit and very accessible.  Bed is comfy, shower is great.  Everything was great.  Location is handy to downtown, campus and many fun things to do. "
1880094,17075245,2014-08-06,1208322,Jose,"Wow! What a perfect place to stay here at Jen & Mo's. There location is so close to the heart of austin it took no time to get to ever thing.  For instance, my wife and I decided last minute to rent a kayak on lady bird lake and it happened to close in 10 minutes.  We changed and ran out the door and made it just before close ( but did have to drop her off and had to search for park....lol ). They have a super sweet pad and love the bamboo floor,  might get some myself.  It was cozy and clean as a whistle.  The plus is that it is separated from the house and very private I must say. We loved it and plan on coming back!"
1880094,17369588,2014-08-11,7785814,Georgia,My boyfriend and I can to Austin for a mini vacation and this apartment made the trip all the more lovely. So clean but warm and inviting. Jeany was very accommodating and the little guides to Austin were a nice touch. Super comfortable bed too! Will definitely stay here next time I come to Austin! Thanks jeany! 
1880094,17489750,2014-08-12,7537014,Micaela,"After a 2 day drive with no AC from Bakersfield, CA to Texas, my fiance and I were lucky enough to stay in this perfect little guest house studio! The place was immaculate! The bedding soft and comfortable, smelling so fresh. The AC kept the whole place nice and cool. I was melting in the Austin weather, and entering the guest house felt like an oasis of peace. Jenny was quick to respond! And the home was certainly set up for AirBnB visitors, with a binder full of recommendations for local activities, food, and shops. We will definitely returning to this place again. What a bargain! "
1880094,17682170,2014-08-16,2920731,Zan,"We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Jeany's guest house! What a great location to venture out and explore Austin. Loved the simplicity, openness and cleanliness of Jeany's space - a great home away from home. Even with their new addition to the family, Jeany and Mose were gracious and warm hosts, communication was prompt, with ease and enjoyable. We also received one of our most memorable tips for our month long trip around the country from Jeany and Mose. (Marfa, TX, but that's another story). Thanks so much Jeany and Mose for making our stay comfortable and relaxing!! All the best."
1880094,17923218,2014-08-19,12323883,Maria,"Jeany's home is exactly as pictured/described. It's very bright, clean and the AC makes it a nice oasis to relax in after a hot day of sightseeing. I really appreciated the fridge since it meant I could keep my water bottle cool and the fully equipped kitchenette was nice for breakfast. I also liked the nice fluffy towels. 
The neighborhood was fairly quiet and we were able to access public transit easily to get around town. We were also super close to a bunch of vegan places: Capital City Bakery, Fast Folks (serve ice cream from Sweet Ritual and various vegan baked goods) and Counter Culture. 
Jeany had all sorts of pamphlets and brochures on Austin in the apartment that were helpful. We especially liked being able to come and go without feeling like we were disturbing anyone. I would definitely stay here again! Can't wait to go back to Austin and see everything we didn't get to this time around!"
1880094,18146643,2014-08-22,14452150,Maria,"Had an awesome experience with Jeany and would love to come back here when I'm in Austin. The place was amazingly clean, comfortable and safe. Thank you :)"
1880094,18215893,2014-08-23,19643219,Elizabeth,"We LOVED our stay at Jeany's guest house! The place was large, CLEAN, felt very fresh. It was the perfect location for us and made our little over night trip so enjoyable! We can't wait to stay there again! "
1880094,18274498,2014-08-24,19858308,Naomi,"Both the neighborhood and the house was impeccable.  My friend and I had a wonderful time at Jeany's place and loved the roomy, clean space after a long week on the road.  If I return to Austin, I will definitely look her up again!"
1880094,18342610,2014-08-25,18899899,Doug,"The room was fantastic! This was my first experience with AirBnb and I am hooked! Hotels are dead to me now. I will definitely book this room again the next time I visit Austin (which is about twice a year). The room was in excellent condition with clean, soft white linens and an incredibly convienent full size kitchen. I especially liked the A/C above the bed blowing cool air on me helping me to achieve a comfortable, deep sleep. The room is so spacious that the space inbetween the bed and kitchen table made for a great private, hardwood dance floor! I would recommend this room to anyone looking for a nice, quiet oasis in the middle of all that makes Austin great! Thank you, Jeany for a great stay and helping to ensure a wonderful Austin experience :)"
1880094,18585544,2014-08-28,312629,Aaron M,Had a wonderful time at Jeany's. Perfect location for Downtown Austin. Very Close to Dirty 6th Street area. The apartment was immaculate. 
1880094,18781840,2014-09-01,1734090,Nan,"Staying at Jeany's was great. The space was very open, super clean, and very welcoming. Jeany was an excellent host, she was there when we needed her and provided us our privacy. The location is a very short way from the highway, downtown Austin, TX which was excellent and no more that 10 mins from Austin Airport. All in all it was safe and more than I expected. Thanks Jeany and if I'm ever in Austin again I'll definately stay with you again.  "
1880094,19028716,2014-09-05,12142991,Devany,"I really enjoyed my stay in Jeany's place! The apartment was very clean and convenient to downtown. Safety is important to me as a solo female traveler, and I definitely felt very safe. The bed was super comfortable and the space was open and cozy. And as a runner, I especially appreciated the close proximity to the Lady Bird Hike and Bike Trail.  Everything was great and I would recommend staying here to anyone coming to Austin."
1880094,19410691,2014-09-12,17877349,Karen,"Jeany was an excellent communicator from initial booking process to answering questions to confirming our arrival with check-in instructions ahead of time. I accidentally booked one night short and contacted Jeany to ask if I could extend my reservation. To my surprise, she called me from the hospital (the day she was supposed to give birth!) to let me know that she would check and to not worry if I didn't hear from her for a few days. I truly appreciated the effort she made to answer me.

The house was exactly as pictured on the listing, bright with tons of sunlight and spotlessly clean. The A/C and fan worked well to cool down the room. The space was perfect for our short stay and we appreciated the small amenities (shampoo, body wash, guest book with recommendations) and fully stocked kitchen though we didn't use it. We were able to walk to a few vegan restaurants nearby and also catch 2 local buses right outside to other parts.

We learned that Austin is not a walking city so at times we used the local buses and when we got too exhausted walking in the heat, we cabbed it. The house is pretty close to Lady Bird Lake, which is a must-see. On our second morning, we bumped into Jeany and her baby on our way out, and she offered to give us a ride since we happened to be heading to the same cafe, which was really nice of her! 

I booked this trip as a surprise birthday gift to my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed our first time in Austin. I highly recommend booking through Jeany for anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay!  "
1880094,19514318,2014-09-14,15921901,Sarah,Such a great place !!!  Perfect location!!    Super clean and very relaxing!!!  Left refreshed!   Perfect ... Perfect ... Perfect !!!!!!!!
1880094,19753777,2014-09-17,10872431,Tamara,This was a great place to stay.  Just minutes from the trail around Ladybird Lake and only a couple of miles from downtown.  The guest house was very comfortable and private.  Jeany and her husband were very accommodating  and helpful.  They're dogs are also very sweet!  I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to stay outside of the downtown area and check out what's going on in the East Side.
1880094,19866847,2014-09-20,4947033,Holly,"Jeany's Guest House was great. Very roomy and comfortable. It was easy to keep the apartment at an ideal temperature with the air con units. Arrival was easy with the keypad locks, as was coming and going. 

Location was great and within walking distance (5-30mins) to most places we wanted to go.

We were very much left to it but Jeany was easily reachable had we have had any questions, which we didn't as Jeany left a very informative local information folder. "
1880094,20010757,2014-09-22,18253407,Katie,"I couldn't have asked for a better home-away-from-home in downtown Austin!! My boyfriend and I had a fantastic weekend seeing friends, eating a ton and generally being tourists, and it was awesome to come home to such a clean and comfortable little apartment. It's also easy to find in a quiet neighborhood.  I would definitely stay again if I get the chance. We have no complaints at all, and I hope Jeany keeps doing what she's doing because it's great!"
1880094,20150650,2014-09-24,9292574,Jim,"Jeany was terrific. The photos of the space are great, but walking in was even better. The place is perfectly clean and decked out with everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome. From the information pamphlets on local activities and transportation to a coffee press, hair dryer -- even two bottles of water on the table! The location was convenient with a local bus that right outside. However, we found walking 15-20 minutes on the quiet streets to local bars and restaurants also enjoyable. I can't say enough. We can only hope Jeany's place will be available for us next time we stay in Austin. "
1880094,20412022,2014-09-29,5555186,Shawna,"Clean and comfy bachelor pad! Separate building from the host for mutual privacy. East 6th street and Cesar Chavez in easy walking distance, quiet area. Kitchen is sparsely equipped, no sharp knives for cutting. We appreciated the comfy bed, AC, huge closet, access to an ironing board/iron and hair dryer for our fancier needs, but would have loved laundry too. Jeany was a great host - left us with some beer coozies and invited us over for some drinks. Oh, and the dogs were happy to be pet."
1880094,20810617,2014-10-06,5167980,Ashley,"This was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to stay in Austin. It was like having our own apartment with everything we could need- air conditioning, table, full kitchen, bathroom and closet. Very clean, nice, and a short trip to downtown or various other locations in Austin. We utilized Car2Go the whole time we were in town and there were always cars around plus the bus picked up right out front. I would stay here again in a second. "
1880094,20929517,2014-10-07,21643021,Sheba,"beautiful, spacious, and clean.  easy to get to, easy to get around.  I wish I was here longer.  thank you Jeany :))"
1880094,20954631,2014-10-08,268747,Mike,Jeany was super easy to communicate with & responsive to our questions.  Arrival & departure was so nice with door code.  Her place was very clean & bed was (website hidden) Worked great and it was easy to find with our GPS.  Recommended!
1880094,20987499,2014-10-09,14641875,Christina,"This is how every Airbnb experience should be! The flat is on the second level (very safe). It was extremely clean and everything has been updated. The bed is so comfortable! Jeany provides all of the little touches (towels, hair dryer, iron, welcome information in a binder, etc). There is air conditioning and a ceiling fan. Jeany was really helpful very early on and she provided detailed instructions and directions. I loved my stay here. I wish I could've stayed longer!"
1880094,21275667,2014-10-14,14733441,Alyssa,Jeany was a great host! My friend and I enjoyed our stay at this lovely location in Austin. We spent a fun 5 nights in Austin and this place was perfect for us. 
1880094,21379761,2014-10-16,19180263,Lisa,This was my first AirBNB experience and it was incredible! The place was so clean and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. So easy to walk to everything in Jeany's neighborhood description! We literally ate and shopped at all of them. Not to far from downtown and great to walk there by the river!
1880094,21435874,2014-10-17,8594904,Melissa,She was very prompt and easy. Keypad great. Super clean. Fun walk along town lake to rainy street. Perfect
1880094,21539065,2014-10-19,36672,Kristen,"Jeany's place was wonderful! Immaculate, roomy, super comfy bed, in a great area, and so much cheaper than any hotel! I couldn't have been happier with it, and am definitely hoping it's available again next time I'm in Austin. "
1880094,21937383,2014-10-27,15225788,Kate,"JEANY WAS AWESOME! Her guest house was the PERFECT introduction to Austin and she was very unintrusive! My boyfriend and I were worried we wouldn't find a place to stay that was quiet, clean and close to everything we wanted to see, so Jeany's place was definitely a life saver! 

It has everything you need for you to enjoy your awesome stay in Austin. There's more than enough street parking. It's an 8 minute drive from Rainey St. It's also a nice walk from the lake, which was fantastic. Even though we never saw her in person (we were always out!), it was good to know she was close by and easy to contact if we needed anything, which was comforting. Do yourself a favor and book a stay at Jeany's Guest House!
"
1880094,22067409,2014-10-29,1473376,Claire,"Jeany's guest house was perfect. Easily off the highway and in a very nice neighborhood down the street from a park. We were able to walk into different neighborhoods and explore. It is also very private, clean, and cozy. We loved staying here!"
1880094,22288240,2014-11-03,15084014,Eric,"The host was very prepared and responsive to all questions. The picture and description are accurate and the place is very nice. The neighborhood leaves a little to be desired, but it is considered ""up and coming"". Overall, it was nice place and met my expectations."
1880094,22426651,2014-11-06,4654319,Aaron,"Great stay! Clean, spacious, great central location, perfect for a couple looking to explore Austin. The amenities were very appreciated."
1880094,22575941,2014-11-10,16018863,Brenna,"This place was so great! The space was clean, spacious, and really wonderful to return to after a long day at Fun Fun Fun Fest. Jeany was a great host and left a binder full of information about the neighborhood (which was gorgeous!), and plenty of recommendations about where to eat. All in all, we had a great time."
1880094,22702037,2014-11-12,13997002,Daniel,"Great place in a great location, very very clean, and refreshing to retreat to after long days exploring Austin.  Would stay here again!"
1880094,22826269,2014-11-16,16402007,Anna,"This guesthouse was just thing for our first trip to Austin. Though I did not get the pleasure of meeting Jeany herself, I so appreciated her willingness to answer any questions we had and help with our transportation, entertainment and logistics questions. The space is wonderful - very clean and pleasant,  with everything you could possibly need. The East Austin area is a bit further from downtown than I initially thought but overall the experience was wonderful and I would definitely stay here again! "
1880094,22906285,2014-11-17,4763384,Zach,"Jeany's place was great. It is immaculate and was a good spot to unwind after a week of travel. Spacious, clean, and good kitchen amenities. It's also on the residential side of the East Austin neighborhood, which means you get access to the nightlife there but with a quiet place to return to. I would definitely stay here again. "
1880094,23014851,2014-11-20,21681053,Emma,"Jenny was very welcoming and kind and informative. The flat was clean and comfortable and in a great location, close to the lake and walking distance to shops and bars. "

1880094,23103374,2014-11-23,16111301,Ryan,"Clean. Quiet. As advertised. Will definitely stay here again and refer friends 
"
1880094,23159473,2014-11-24,2985373,Kelly,"While our stay was brief, we truly enjoyed staying at Jeany's guest house in East Austin. It was clean and very comfortable. We appreciated the thoughtful binder with recommendations of things to do, transportation, and restaurants nearby. We checked out Capital City Bakery just a short walk away and loved their kaloches! "
1880094,23366763,2014-11-30,22004949,Mary Colette,"Jeany was a great host! The apartment was super clean and made me feel very welcome. The neighborhood is in a great location and made our trip to Austin wonderful. I especially liked the walk in closet - plenty of room for our bags. We brought our 5 month daughter on the trip - there was lots of room for her portable crib, and the nighttime was very peaceful and quiet while she slept. I recommend staying in this garage apartment. Thanks again, Jeany for a great AirBnB experience!"
1880094,23485849,2014-12-01,24266720,C,"What a perfect little Austin studio. This apartment is immaculate and welcoming, and the neighborhood is quiet and friendly. I loved staying here!"
1880094,23524664,2014-12-03,1308002,Ben,"Jeany's place was cute, clean, and crisp. We happened to visit when it was cold outside, but the wall heater did it's job. Also, when there was a brief power outage on the block, Jeany and her husband were super responsive, which was comforting. Parking was easy. The shower was quality. The bed was comfortable. We'd stay again. :)"
1880094,23594265,2014-12-06,15202596,James,"Jeany's apartment is very clean and looks brand new! Conveniently just outside of Downtown Austin with buses regularly passing right outside, it's the ideal mix of a quiet neighbourhood with easy access to all of the facilities Austin has to offer "
1880094,24217526,2014-12-22,25044228,Charu,Everything was perfect.
1880094,24580229,2014-12-31,2666049,Stefanie,"The apartment was  onveniently located just outside the city, about a 5 min drive away. It had a cozy bed which was very comfortable and the unit was clean Thanks!"
1880094,25006171,2015-01-05,3924607,Craig,A very nice apartment with free and safe parking right outside.  All the fixtures and appliances are quite new.  I had a friend with me who has special needs and Jeany was awesome in making her more comfortable.  She answers her texts very quickly.  I would not hesitate to stay here again.
1880094,25190760,2015-01-08,18005292,Amanda,"Jeany's place was clean and located in a great part of Austin. She was a very helpful host, and responded to questions very quickly. I will definitely recommend this place to friends. It is spacious, private, and has everything that a visitor to the city would need! "
1880094,25213130,2015-01-09,23694869,Laura,We met Jeany when we came in. The space is exactly as advertised. Very clean and welcoming. Warm for a cold night in Austin! She provided a binder with guides for reataurants and things to do which was helpful! We would definitely stay again and whole heartedly recommend this place! Thanks Jeany!
1880094,25288190,2015-01-11,10896447,Karly,"The location of the apartment was great.  It was very easy to get downtown and to I-35.  The space was open and very clean.  The check-in process was also very straight forward and simple. The bed was very comfortable. The room took a while to heat up (the temperatures were in the 30s -40s while we were in town), but I think it wouldn't have been an issue if the temperature was milder.  The wifi was slow.  Overall, it's a perfect crash in Austin if you plan to spend most of your time out and about.    "
1880094,25362651,2015-01-13,17534220,Emma,"We stayed at Jeany'a lovely apartment half way though our road trip round Texas. It was just what we needed. A lovely clean place, the bed was super comfy. It was in a great location for getting the local bus down town and for getting to rainey street, which is great for bars and good food. The were loads of towels for us and a great guide full of info on the local surroundings and how to get around. 

Checking is was also super flexible and easy to do."
1880094,25390675,2015-01-14,19918830,Tiffany,"Jeany communicated well in advance of my arrival and greeted me with bottled water. The place is clean and warm and had everything you'd need to be comfortable and cook a small meal (skillet, dishes, corkscrew, etc.). The street is quiet and the neighborhood is very close to Rainey Street (bars and restaurants) if you prefer to go out to eat. 

I love East Austin but it usually means you get a place with a pedestal sink and a mini-fridge. Not so with this place. Jeany has designed a true apartment experience. There's a dining room table for two, a couch, a tub and shower, and even a garbage disposal. Most people get the bed and towels right and there's that here too, but these extra details are why you want to book with Jeany - especially if you are in town for a week or two. This is a home away from home. "
1880094,25539560,2015-01-19,16957778,Lauren,"Jeany was sweet, welcoming, and so accommodating. Her place is immaculately kept, had plenty of amenities (dishes, cookware, towels, shampoo, iron, etc). The location is perfect and a 5 minute ride from Rainey street, the coolest little street of houses made into bars.  Thanks for a great stay!"
1880094,25653032,2015-01-22,7020817,Alana,"Jeany's place was perfect. It was immaculately clean (honestly cleaner than a hotel) and I really appreciated that. The bed was very comfy as well. The area was also great, there is bars, coffee shops not too far away and just is a really cute neighborhood. I definitely recommend staying here!"
1880094,25923749,2015-01-30,386736,Heather,"Jeany was a great host! She went above and beyond- even lending me an umbrella when it was raining the first day I was there.  The apartment is exactly how it looks in the pictures, very clean and comfortable. Thanks so much Jeany~"
1880094,26175758,2015-02-06,18792900,Lauren And Luke,"Everything was perfect. Comfortable, immaculately clean and homely - just what we needed after several weeks already away from home. Jeany had provided everything a traveller could need and we were made to feel welcome and as if the apartment was our own. Thank you. "
1880094,26215833,2015-02-07,24599482,Courtney,Very clean. Just like the pictures. Convenient location.
1880094,26384566,2015-02-11,14830220,Jeffrey,"While we did not meet our host, she was still available if we needed her and we felt welcomed. Everything we needed was right there and the apartment was great. Good location if you are looking at going to the locals bars on E 6th st. But also not too far from the downtown part of Austin. (About $10 in a cab usually) or public transport is easy enough."
1880094,26487080,2015-02-14,25828002,Alex,"We had a great time staying at Jeany's guest house.  We arrived a little before check-in, but Jeany and her husband came right out to greet us with their two adorable pugs.  They helped us take our bags into the guest house and made sure we had everything we needed.

The guest house is a great space -- just as pictured.  There's plenty of room, a comfy bed, good wifi, and even binders of activities and restaurants in the area. The place was very clean.

The location was also a huge plus.  We walked to Rainey St., which was our favorite part of Austin, and also to 6th St. If the weather is poor or you're not up for a walk, you'll just be a $5 or $6 Über ride from all the popular locations."
1880094,26731977,2015-02-18,10826529,Justin,"Jeany was amazing to deal with.  Communication once reserved, and a few days before my trip.  Easy instructions and access to the apartment.  It's bigger then the photos let it out to be.  Bathroom is nice, and if you have a bunch of stuff, the walk in closet is nice as well.  It's quiet at night, but soon might not be as a bar is opening up this weekend on the corner, but, makes going out that much easier. 

The place is great, I would easily stay here again."
1880094,26971353,2015-02-23,4549496,Sarah,We had a great stay at Jeany's guest studio! Jeany was very helpful and responsive in answering our questions. The studio was clean and spacious and located conveniently near some good restaurants.  Parking was also easy to find on the days we rented a car (and Uber/Lyft were convenient and affordable to and from her house on days we didn't have a car).  We would definitely consider staying here again on our next trip to Austin. 
1880094,27099846,2015-02-25,11044941,Karis,We very much appreciated our stay in Jeany's great guest studio and time in East Austin. A clean and accommodating space and in a much more interesting location than hotels downtown. A terrific place to land and launching point for adventures around town.
1880094,27188207,2015-02-27,13497499,Daniel,"Jeany was a great host.  The place was exceptionally clean and comfortable.  She also took the trouble to make the couch into a bed for my friend (so that we did not have to do this ourselves).  Thanks, Jeany!"
1880094,27244788,2015-03-01,22893070,Zack,"Jeany was the perfect host with a great space for us!  The room was spotless clean with a comfortable bed and had plenty of space.  There was also a binder with recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area.  They had snacks and water for us when we arrived!

East Austin is a great area and we were able to come and go with ease.  Would definitely stay here again no matter what we're in town for."
1880094,27347153,2015-03-02,12620226,Anna,"My friend and I had a wonderful time staying here. It's clean, beautiful, well located and just feels like a nice space to relax in. I didn't meet jeany in person but she contacted me with plenty of notice and provided all the needed information. I would definitely stay here again! Wonderful find. "
1880094,27501782,2015-03-06,1764956,Dutch,"My stay at Jeany's studio was excellent. The studio was just as described and very clean. It's in an excellent location - in walking distance to some great things. All in all, this was a pretty seamless experience and made my trip to Austin much better. Honestly, it was nice to be staying in an actual neighborhood and not right downtown - although the studio is only a $5 Uber trip to the convention center - which is where I spent a lot of time. I would definitely stay at Jeany's place if/when I'm back in Austin. "
1880094,27545748,2015-03-07,8121698,Jenny,I had the pleasure of staying at Jeany's guest studio this past Friday and it was exactly as shown in the pictures and even roomier than I imagined. I was extremely happy with how close we were to the city which made going out even more easier. Jeany left us some snacks and a binder full of things to do if we needed it. The place was very tidy and neat along with anything you can ever need for a weekend get away. She was nice enough to provide an additional portable heater which was perfect for the cold night. My boyfriend and I cannot wait to come back and stay here again for out next visit to Austin.
1880094,27587197,2015-03-08,16304887,Bonnie,"I really liked this Airbnb. The place was super clean and airy. There was ample street parking and it was close to downtown and easy to get to from the airport. The bed was comfy. If I  have an opportunity to return to Austin, I will look into staying here again.  It might be useful to know when planning how to pack that you will need to climb a rather long set of stairs to get to enter the apartment."
1880094,27774437,2015-03-11,5260758,Jessia,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment had everything we needed for a nice long weekend away from home.  The bed was comfy,  the apartment was clean and nicely furnished.  The gas stove was quite a treat for a romantic dinner in.  "
1880094,28312420,2015-03-22,1799368,Janna,"Jeany was the perfect host and provided us with all the needed informations beforehand and during our stay. After our long car ride she even welcomed us with a pack of cold beer. :) The apartment was in best condition, very tidy and clean. The area around the place is a perfect mixture. A lot of nature. A short ride to downtown Austin via bike. A grocery store and hip restaurant just 1 Min away. Highly recommended!"
1880094,28522548,2015-03-25,7309534,Kelly,"The location is great, and easy to find, in the eastern part of Austin, near the hip-hop area of town (11th Street in the vicinity is really blooming with activities).  The apartment is over the garage and very comfortable, especially the bed.  I took towels and soap, etc., but didn't need to because Jeany had it all available.  The apartment was spotless and Jeany provided Austin city highlights, maps, and information about other fun things to do in the area.  Across the street, at 2115 Holly, is The Launderette, a new ""cool"" and fun place to eat.  The apartment is also close to about 3 parks, close to the river and lake.  The neighborhood is nice, there are people walking their dogs or jogging (making the area seem really friendly) and Jeany's pugs were at ease with strangers and delightful (which one did I like the best??)."
1880094,28639224,2015-03-27,29107691,Alejandro,Simply Amazing!I wanted to extend my stay. Seriously.
1880094,28904895,2015-03-31,29591566,Carlos,I loved this place. The studio had everything that you could need and it was very well kept. Nice and quiet studio located close to many of the great places of Austin but far enough to stay in a quiet place. Great new restaurant across the street.  I would definetly stay there again. 
1880094,29252335,2015-04-06,23763143,Nick,"We had a great weekend in Jeany's apartment. Really clean, bright and modern studio. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend. "
1880094,29719787,2015-04-12,13141424,Jim,"Jeany's apartment is awesome. It's private, spacious, super clean, got a full kitchen, wonderful bathroom, is located 11 minutes from the airport, 5 minutes from downtown, across the street from a wonderful restaurant with great food La Launderette, down the street from the best beef brisket I've ever had La Barbecue....etc., etc. Sue and I loved it and were super impressed all around. We'll definitely be back."
1880094,29899484,2015-04-13,8290897,Abel,"This place was so great! I think that the pictures don't really do it justice. It says studio apartment, but it is more like an open-plan tree-house! It's in a stand-alone building on the second story, so there's tons of privacy. There are three large windows that give the place so much light. The studio overlooks a pretty nice intersection in the east-side. It's very close to a corner with a cute little restaurant and a convenience store as well. So there's plenty of last-minute needs just seconds away. And of course, it's very close to all the east-end fun and nightlife - that is not to say that the street gets packed with bar-going drunks. The street is very quiet with plenty of street parking. 

So enough about the place, what did I do in ATX? I checked in, which was a breeze. Then I took a shower in the impeccably clean bathroom with plenty of non-weird smelling and soft towels. Then I got some beer on the corner and ordered some East-side pies for delivery. Lame? No, this place is perfect for the wind-down of whatever event you go to: MotoGP, F1, SXSW, ACL, that convention you go to each year where you see that sales rep, Janet, from Kalamazoo Michigan with whom you have that ""agreement."" Don't fall in love, Janet. I have a family for cheese sake! 

So finally, this place has everything you need and nothing you don't. It's not one of those crummy places that has a bunch of old guitars or old cameras to dress up an other-wise crappy place. It's clean, private, bright, and the best value in the east side. Holler. "
1880094,29934693,2015-04-14,27702498,Maegan,The guest house was clean and comfortable.  It was more basic than the other bnbs we had been to (i.e. a french press for coffee rather than a coffee machine).  It was within walking distance to the bus stop but longer walk to town.  Jeany left information for getting around and maps that was helpful.  We did not meet her.  She was accommodating through messaging and allowed us to drop our bags off early.
1880094,30424475,2015-04-21,5073708,Priya,"Jeany's place was great. It was clean and looks exactly the same as the pictures on the listing. The apartment is on a quiet neighborhood street, but within easy walking distance to some great local bars on both 6th Street and Rainey Street. I'd definitely stay there again!"
1880094,30760350,2015-04-27,2143561,Raechel,"Everything went very smoothly at Jeany's guest studio in Austin.  It was immaculately clean and comfortable and a great location, with easy access to the highway system.  Jeany was very responsive to my questions and needs.  It was easy to send and receive message with her on my phone.  I will definitely stay there in my next trip to Austin."
1880094,30989938,2015-04-30,3841598,Kristen,Jeany's guest studio was perfect! The space was clean and just spacious enough for a vacation. Jeany was incredibly accommodating to requests. I didn't have a car for my visit and the location was within walking distance to downtown or a quick cab ride to other fun neighborhoods such as the South Congress area (full disclosure -- I did walk everywhere and it was totally doable).  I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for my first time in Austin. 
1880094,31028006,2015-05-01,23658138,Emily,This is a wonderful place to stay!  It is nice and in a perfect location.  Jeany was great and so readily available for anything that I may have needed.  I would absolutely recommend staying here!
1880094,31436605,2015-05-05,21260295,Kathy,"Jeany is such a helpful and welcoming host! The place was immaculate and the furnishings were elegant and simple.
We were in town for a wedding so we spent most of the visit catching up with old friends, but in the moments we were able to meet she was a great resource as far as the neighborhood and made us feel at home.
I would definitely stay again!"
1880094,31638977,2015-05-08,371518,Jason,"Probably the nicest AirBnB experience I've had yet. The pictures are accurate - very light and airy, quiet, separate from main house. Jeany did a really nice job furnishing and painting. Very close to bike path along river. Excellent home base for biking around Austin. Jeany was helpful, answered my questions promptly, was available but not intrusive. Highly recommended, and I plan to stay here again."
1880094,31724101,2015-05-09,31289625,Jennifer,"BEST AirBnB I've stayed at! The place is even better than in the pictures. Its very clean, private, and comfortable. Jeany is extremely responsive and a great host. If I come back to Austin I will definitely try to stay here!"
1880094,32174325,2015-05-15,25230669,Claire,The place is just as it's described. It's pretty bare-bones but it has what you need. And Jeany was available by phone or text if I had really needed something. It's very clean. A good location. Comfortable. And I think it was exactly what I needed and expected when I made the reservation. 
1880094,32478514,2015-05-18,17243419,Keren,Great spot in a great neighborhood! The place was simple and comfy. Thanks Jeany for being so accommodating and contributing to an awesome visit in Austin! 
1880094,32735649,2015-05-20,27793025,Trinity,"Came here for a quick trip with my best friend to explore Austin. The space is wonderful, clean, and stocked with all we needed. "
1880094,33077297,2015-05-25,2910373,Jill,"Jeany's place was so great! It was super bright and clean and had exactly everything you could need. If possible, it was even nicer than it already looks in the photos! I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend visiting Austin or stay there again myself. 

I had no problems getting around from the neighborhood; it was a great location. And there was some great information at the apartment for things to do in the city. 

Jeany was really helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. She even helped my friend get her wedding gift bags into the studio, so they were waiting for us upon arrival. It was a great surprise! "
1880094,33312932,2015-05-26,18689073,Kendall,Great location and a great space!! Would recommend. 
1880094,33423787,2015-05-28,23627707,Peter,A really wonderful apartment that has everything you need. It is extremely clean and has its own kitchen for those that like to cook. We walked into Downtown Austin which is about 2 miles away. If you are coming to Austin with a car then there is no better place to say. Also far better value than a hotel. Would stay here again for sure!
1880094,33558952,2015-05-29,34371752,Dominic,"Jeany was an excellent host. Being my first AirBnB experience, I didn't know what to expect. I hope she didn't set the bar too high for me.  Apartment was very clean and in a great location. 

Thanks!"
1880094,33645769,2015-05-31,25616163,Denise,"This was my first aB&B experience and staying at Jeany's place far exceeded my expectations. The apt was exactly as described. It's bright and roomy and has everything we needed. (Having no TV was refreshing.)  It's in a very walkable neighborhood with many places to eat and drink. Downtown is also walkable if you are an avid walker.  We didn't take the bus because we preferred walking (and had a rental car for further distances), but the nearby routes would have taken us to many of the places we needed to go. I'm glad we got to briefly meet Jeany and her husband.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
1880094,33842960,2015-06-01,9821407,Judy,"We were at an awkward time interval, so we went to the studio a little bit early and Jeany was nice enough to let us do so. The studio was spacious and clean; way more space than my friend and I really required for the night. Jeany also left ample towels in the bathroom for us which was nice. "
1880094,34139242,2015-06-05,32373937,Reagan,"The apartment was so great! Wonderful location and easy to access. It was pretty warm, so we drove everywhere-- in the cooler months it would be very easy to bike around. Thanks so much! "
1880094,34274277,2015-06-07,25038287,Kelly,"The listing was just as pictured, clean and comfortable. It was not too far from the downtown area, or the good shopping! I did not get to meet Jeany, but she was responsive when I had questions and it was a pleasure! "
1880094,34555184,2015-06-09,7138299,Gemma,We loved our stay at Jeany's place in Austin. Every detail was thought out - the room was cool in the blistering Austin heat and the bed comfortable. 
1880094,34675479,2015-06-10,18570911,Colton,"Jeany's place in Austin is perfect!  All of the amenities you could ask for, in a perfect location to explore the city.  No complaints.  "
1880094,34741660,2015-06-11,5164262,Brandon,Jeany's place is just what my friend and I expected from the pictures. Really nice and very clean... Jeany made sure before hand that the place was to our liking which we greatly appreciated. 
1880094,34938964,2015-06-14,23166882,John & Jessica + Baby Isaac,"Although Jeany was out of town during our stay, she was still in constant contact with us and answered all our questions promptly. She was even kind enough to let us stay a few hours after check out since our flight wasn't till early evening(my son thanks you for that)

The space itself was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. Even a pack n play for our son that was offered by Jeany!  

With close proximity to the 2 best BBQ spots in Austin as well as 6th St and Rainey St. Who can ask for more?!?! 

We will definitely book this place again if/when we return to Austin!"
1880094,35340776,2015-06-17,34469691,Stephan,The house was in very good condition and in a super convenient location.  We were very happy to stay here and will again.
1880094,35652217,2015-06-21,4730009,Caroline,"Jeany was an excellent and professional host. She communicated to me check in instructions well in advance and sent me the wifi password as the stay got closer.  She was very accommodating when I asked if there was any chance for an earlier check in - instead of just answering yes or no she said she just needed time to clean after the previous guest and would let us know when the place was ready.  

About the place:
Location - this apartment is in East Austin which is an up and coming neighborhood.  It is about a 2 mile walk to downtown, but there are tons of ubers in the area (never waited more than 3 minutes!) and it is very inexpensive (Like $4 to downtown!).  East Austin also has a lot to offer as well and the apartment is a 15-20 minute walk from some great food and bars.  The street is pretty quiet but feels very safe and many locals assured me it was a great location.  The apartment is above the garage next to the host's house - I never saw her and didn't feel like we were on someone's property at all.  

The Place -This apartment is perfect for 2-4 people and IS VERY CLEAN.  It is a huge and spacious studio with a full bed an a very comfy pull out couch that could easily fit 2 people.  There is a french press, some dishes, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge and a 4 person dining table.  The bathroom is very big and there was a lot of linens and toiletries.  There is also a huge closet with an iron and ironing board.  Jeany also has menus, maps, public transit info and other great things to help you maneuver the town!!! There is no TV but there is so much to do in Austin I did not come there to sit around and watch TV.

Overall this place is a perfect place to stay without feeling like you are on top of your travel companions or in someone's home. Everything is brand new so it is a relaxed feeling. I would recommend this place to anyone!!!!"
1880094,36138312,2015-06-25,18913516,Allen,We had a great time visiting Austin and this was a perfect spot for it. It was covenant to downtown. Loved the close parking. The unit was just as described. If I make it back that way again I would surely stay here again.
1880094,36283351,2015-06-27,32794189,Ben,"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during our first visit to Austin. The self check-in was super easy and the place was really clean. Also, a big bonus for having an iron/ironing board because that came in handy before we went to our rehearsal dinner. Best part, hands down, was the bed. We thought our bed at home was comfortable but now I'm missing this one. You've inspired us to splurge on some softer/higher thread count sheets. We didn't see or meet Jeany, but we enjoyed the privacy. Plus, she was quick to respond if we had any questions by text. We did meet her husband on the last day as we were pulling out of the driveway and he seemed like a really nice guy. Thanks again for letting us stay in your guest studio, I would highly recommend your place to anyone!"
1880094,36425020,2015-06-28,34869020,Whitney,"Wonderful place! Perfect location, description as accurate as posted, apartment clean and friendly neighborhood!! "
1880094,36850352,2015-07-02,2948399,Gloria,"We came to Austin to attend ministerial meetings in downtown. Jeany´s place was the perfect location for us. The experience was wonderful. The apartment had everything we needed and more. Jeany was so gracious to allow us in before check in as we did not realize how close the location was to the airport (even though we rode two buses total). The location is in a serene area. The bed is super comfy. We had what we needed to make our breakfast every morning. Knowing that Jeany was just next door was awesome should we need anything. Though our trip was in the summer, the apartment was cool enough and the air conditioner was not used all the time.  Communicating with Jeany was a pleasant experience, as we booked this accommodation in 2014. I highly recommend Jeany´s apartment."
1880094,37068896,2015-07-04,25469833,Emily,"Jeany's garage apartment was great for me and my boyfriend visiting from Chicago! The space was super clean, spacious and lots of great natural light. The bathroom was large and stocked with shampoo and soap, the bed was comfortable and there was a large walk in closet. Jeany was very accommodating with us, as our flight got in early and she allowed us to drop our bags off prior to our scheduled check in time. That was super helpful so that we didn't have to lug our bags around with us site-seeing.

The location of the apartment was a short uber ride anywhere in town. We went everywhere, but specifically recommend dinner at Jacobies and after dinner drinks at Weather Ups!

We would love to return and stay at Jeany's again!

Best,
Emily & Chirag "
1880094,37312035,2015-07-06,5293690,Angel,"This was our first airbnb experience! Prior to arriving, Jeany provided all the information necessary to access the studio apartment.  Her apartment was super comfortable, clean, and spacious. The perfect oasis for our anniversary and Fourth of July weekend! The listing description is right on point and it's located in a cozy, hip neighborhood with lot's of character. It was also a convenient location, as it was close enough to the city (less than 5 minute drive) but walking distance to dining and healthy food options (Launderette, Juan in a Million, a natural juice stand), and a park. Her apartment featured a spacious walk in closet, natural lighting, and an adequate kitchen for prepping or reheating meals. She also has great recommendations for dining, local attractions, and other resources. Some of our favorite restaurants include: Isla, Second Bar & Kitchen, Gelataria Gemelli, Turf N Surf Po’ Boy, Daruma Ramen, and Franklin BBQ (worth the wait!)

We are so spoiled from this experience and hope that our future airbnb stays are just as wonderful!
"
1880094,37631159,2015-07-08,3541625,Felix,"Jeany and her husband were great hosts. I absolutely adored the studio and wished it was mine. 

My family was staying with me and they immediately noticed how clean and organized everything was. 

You could tell a lot of thought was put into hosting others and making sure they were comfortable."
1880094,37796195,2015-07-10,36938291,Gillian,"The listing is exactly what you see in the pictures. We were left completely alone during our stay, that to me is not a complaint but a big plus :) I also did not need to communicate with the host because everything was so very well organised. I sent Jeany messages prior to the trip and received responses almost immediately. All in all, very clean, nice and centrally located."
1880094,37958861,2015-07-12,29355915,Jean-Paul,"Jeany's studio was a great stay in Austin! It was extremely spacious with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Location was excellent, just a short drive to downtown for some great shops and restaurants. It was easy to get to from the airport and very useful to have a parking space. Jeany herself was very warm and helpful, making it a hospitable stay. "
1880094,38735443,2015-07-18,10372908,Audrea,"The listing was accurate and the interior was actually even nicer than it appears in photos! We loved the neighborhood - there are lots of great restaurants in walking and biking distance. It's really close to downtown, as well! The area is quiet and peaceful. Jeany and Mose were very accommodating, letting us know we could ask them anything. "

1880094,39921566,2015-07-27,30178329,Andrew,"The Guest Studio is great. Very comfortable with everything you need. The East Austin neighbourhood is great - bars and places to eat within easy walking distance . Jaun in a Million just up the street is great for breakfast . The river walking trail is also very close , which is a great walk into downtown . I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone. Jeany and Mose were great hosts , even though we didn't cross paths very often, When I did see them they were very friendly."
1880094,40202661,2015-07-29,30816636,Jennifer,"This loft space is ideally located in Austin. It's a short Uber ride away from downtown Austin and Rainey Street but in a quiet neighborhood. It's nice, clean, and very cool - a great way to escape the heat. There is a comfortable bed and a couch that converts into another bed if would need one. There is also a spacious kitchen area, bathroom, and a walk-in closet. Overall, we were very happy with our stay here. "
1880094,40471487,2015-07-31,942905,Travis,"Convenient and pleasant. The place was easy to find, cleanly and efficiently put together, and comfortable in most respects. The hosts were a joy to deal with, literal founts of ""can do"" and ""yes"" which of course is always nice to hear. I'd happily stay again if I had the need. "
1880094,40734201,2015-08-02,28739950,James,"Our stay was blissful. Jeany and Mosey's airbnb is a home away from home, very clean and has everything you need and more. The location couldnt better as well there is a private car spot even though not needed as there is heaps of parking. Austin is a beautiful up coming city, if we are ever to return we will definitely be staying here again. One word to describe our stay is 'perfect'. Thankyou for sharing your airbnb with us"
1880094,41182795,2015-08-04,13503754,Joanna,Loved this apt!! It was clean and cool and cozy!! We will be back!!

1880094,41734245,2015-08-09,7870684,Andrea,"The guest studio was the perfect place to call home for our 5 day stay in Austin. The place itself is private, close to the major areas, clean and beautiful. There is also a private driveway that we took advantage of as well, which was really convenient. Jeany is a great host with wonderful communication skills. Would definitely stay here again. 5 stars!"
1880094,42188946,2015-08-11,39189058,Jonathan,"Listing was exactly as described, neighborhood was a short Car2go trip from everything. Never saw my hosts in my two nights."

The flat was extremely clean and tidy and had everything we needed, special mention goes to the super-comfy bed!  Jeany and Mose were wonderful hosts, very glad we got to meet them and their gorgeous baby girl...and of course, the two super-cute pugs, Eddie & Bobo!!  As a massive dog lover, getting some cuddles and play time with them was the cherry on the cake.  We would definitely go back to stay when visiting Austin again.   "
1880094,47082536,2015-09-15,42194076,Diane,"I received a detailed e-mail prior to our arrival that included all the necessary information to enter the residence.  The place was exactly as advertised, and we were satisfied with our accommodations."
1880094,47379445,2015-09-18,5468441,Priya,"Jeany and Mose's private studio is a wonderful place to stay in Austin. It's clean, bright, and elegantly decorated. Jeany was incredibly easy to communicate with and very responsive by text. I will definitely be staying here again during my next trip to Austin!"
1880094,47638553,2015-09-21,14694947,Wesley,Nice and clean apartment. Fun location. Walkable to many bars or a short uber ride. Check out Launderette nearby!
1880094,47816157,2015-09-21,15238809,Stephanie,The place was great! So clean and nice and air conditioned before even getting there wich was so nice.  Since we are from Portland we're not used to the Austin heat. Apartment was nice and clean and had shampoo and conditioner which was great because we didn't bring any. They were very accommodating to our time schedule because it was different than their check in and check out times.
1880094,48508821,2015-09-27,2732787,Darlene,Everything was clean and nice and convenient . Jeany was receptive to questions in text and gave us all the privacy and priveleges we needed. The location is perfect...near everything. Lots of helpful information. We would definitely love to stay there again!
1880094,49008708,2015-09-30,32068827,Alexi,"We didn't get a chance to meet our hosts during our quick stay, but the studio is lovely and had everything we needed! Can't wait to visit again!"
1880094,49758239,2015-10-06,26327827,Tom,Fantastic place to stay! Great hosts 
1880094,51526545,2015-10-21,38018387,Tristan,"This was my first experience with AirBNB. Jeany was great right from the start. She answered my couple questions prior to booking and provided great info for places around town to go in her guidebook. 
The loft was in a great location, safe feeling and no more than a very short über / lyft to downtown and Rainey st.
The accommodations were very welcoming and comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone and will seek out Jeany and Mose Airbnb again when traveling to Austin. "
1880094,52206421,2015-10-27,1982501,Fred,Great place in a very good location! We definitely recommend it.
1880094,52403051,2015-10-29,9527301,Blair,Great apartment. Jeany and Mose were really clear and timely sending us all of the information and it was an absolute breeze checking in and out. They were also really easy to get in contact with whenever we needed and helpful as well.
1880094,52668246,2015-10-31,46724127,Lacey,Clean apartment & very friendly! Thank you for hosting us!
1880094,52967316,2015-11-03,42800343,Shao,We had a great time staying at Jeany's place. The place is very clean and comfortable.  Great location to get to the downtown. Definitely would recommend this place to others. 
3959496,20870476,2014-10-06,4929386,Neel,"The house is very clean and in great condition.  We stayed there for ACL Music Festival, and this house is just a few minutes south.  The property is on a busy street, but there is room to turn around behind the house so that you never have to back into the street.  Lots of great restaurants and bars are only minutes away."
3959496,21785532,2014-10-24,16910678,Andrea,"The house is in a great location, close to many restaurants and activities. We enjoyed being able to get places quickly and also have the option of having food delivered. It can be noisy due to the busy road. 
The house was what we expected and it was nice to have the space since we have 3 kids. It was very clean and had all the basics we needed, although the kitchen was not well stocked. It would have been great to have more essential kitchen supplies like pans, measuring cups, etc. We did have some difficulty with the cable but when we called someone came and fixed it. 
Overall we are pleased with the rental and the experience and we would definitely come back and recommend to others. "
3959496,22558636,2014-11-09,11973527,Greg,"Love the self-service check-in! It gave my coworkers and I freedom to arrive whenever without having to coordinate with someone in Austin. The place itself is spacious. We had plenty of room for 3 of us, and the neighborhood is very quiet. Wish we had been able to stay longer to use the bbq out back and hang out in the back yard area.

I should note though that there was no soap/shampoo, so you should bring your own"
3959496,22658354,2014-11-11,22377566,Derek,"There was a nice handwritten note greeting us upon our arrival to the home.  The house was very neat and tidy and was presented accurately online.  This homes location is great for enjoying South Austin, especially businesses along Lamar Blvd.  It sits right on Oltorf which is a rather busy street. This was not a hinderence for us, but others may care.  The non-bedroom areas are somewhat small, but for the price and location (and the fact that we didnt come to Austin to hang out in the house), it was a very fair rental. The owner does a good job with communicating as well with a rapid response time and thorough information. I would definitely recommend this house to parties of 4 or less who are looking to go enjoy south Austin. "
3959496,28346220,2015-03-22,27025535,Tamara,"The house was awesome!  A perfect fit for me and my girlfriends attending SXSW. We were close enough to the action to access it quickly and easily, but not so close that we ran into traffic issues. The house was clean and cute and everything was up to my standards. Tip if you stay here: Bring your own towels (there aren't that many) and bring your own toilet paper (the house didn't have any!!) Would definitely stay with Airbnb again.
"
3959496,31377626,2015-05-04,9908897,Stephen,"Our stay in Austin was perfect. The house had everything we needed, definitely check out the amenities listed. Erica was quick to communicate with me.  There are tons of great places to eat very near the home. Highly recommended!"

3959496,35138410,2015-06-15,19399380,Amanda,We had a great time in Austin! The place was perfect. We enjoyed our time on the town and tubing down the river.
3959496,39998287,2015-07-27,2027346,Zach,"Cute house. Seamless check-in (and departure) experience. On-demand phone help (needed to find Internet password). And a cute house. Not the BEST area. But not bad either. Quite central and a cheap Uber/Lyft to downtown. 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a couch thats definitely fine to sleep on."
3959496,48718581,2015-09-28,20532486,Amanda,"Our stay at Erica's house was wonderful!  The house was exactly as described, and the 7 of us were very comfortable during our stay.  The washer and dryer were not working while we were there, which was a little disappointing.  It's not exactly in the most lively part of town, but not far from S Congress and an easy Uber ride to anywhere else.  I would definitely recommend a stay here! "

6197423,33136214,2015-05-25,6759210,Nahum,The listing was very accurate. Varun gave us a great welcome and was very friendly with us. The neighborhood was awesome and the location was great.
6197423,33927704,2015-06-02,26323242,Sigtryggur,"Location is fantastic and the apartment is wonderful. Although I didn't get to meet Varun in person, he was very polite and gracious in all of our communication.
It's a bit under-furnished and definitely needed to be cleaned, but all in all it was a great place.


"
6197423,34983635,2015-06-14,33501030,Paul,"Varun's place was okay for the price. The location and the view were prime and the apartment could be nice, but it was dirty and under furnished. It's very obviously a student apartment building. It also doesn't exactly comfortably sleep four people. One of the mattresses was a thin foam topper thrown on the floor.  The extra guest charge is definitely unfair. Make sure to bring your own sheets as well, there are definitely no clean ones available.

Varun was not present at all during our stay, but he was friendly and accommodating on the phone, though not always quick to respond. We had a bit of a mix up at the end of our stay when we decided to leave early, but it was eventually resolved after several days and we were refunded in accordance with his flexible cancellation policy."
6197423,36221273,2015-06-26,31554698,Miguel,Had a great stay. Amazing views from every room. 
6197423,36631884,2015-06-29,36667262,Benjamin,"This was a great place to stay. The building and apartment are very nice and the view is incredible. It's a corner apartment so there are a lot of windows to see the view.  Varun was very friendly, easy to talk to, and easy to get a hold of.  He was also very up front and honest about everything.  His flexibility with check-in and check-out times made everything very easy.  I definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if given the chance."
6197423,37431822,2015-07-06,27927458,Reagan,"This was a great place to hangout and crash! Excellent location in town and an unbeatable view of Austin. Varun was extremely helpful with all ten thousand of my questions and made my first AirBNB experience awesome! The apartment itself was a little empty, but I would assume that is due to it being summertime and a student apartment. We stayed immediately after the previous guest so there was some tidying up to be done, but overall it was a clean and comfortable place to hang out, get ready, and sleep when we weren't out and about downtown.  "
6197423,38571449,2015-07-16,36234944,Keaton,Killer place in Austin only a couple blocks from UT. You get an awesome view and Varun made sure that everything was taken care of before arriving. Definitely recommend. 
6197423,39818104,2015-07-26,30470649,Gerashchenko,"First of all you should to mention, that there will be no clean towels and sheets. So Make sure to bring your own sheets as well, there are definitely no clean ones available!
Varun didn't check apartment before our check-in. In my case there was very untidy in apartment, i mean like after party. 
But place has very nice view, rooms are large, it is not far from city center. Could be nice place if clean.

They were very fast to answer our messages (we asked for the room the same day we stayed), the house was very clean and cozy, and they made our stay so easy and  comfortable. The first night, J.J. played some of his instruments, it was amazing!!
Moreover, we left a pullover in the house, and they will send it to us. 
Sooo glad to be in their home!!!"
5769,34528,2010-04-10,79506,Maris,"Elizabeth was really nice and friendly. She helped in any way she could. The accommodations were very nice, and we had everything we needed. We had a very nice time, and would stay again. "
5769,39624,2010-05-02,12052,Rachel,"We had a very good experience. Elizabeth and David were extremely flexible, giving us the place on short notice when we got in late. The room was comfortable and clean, all we hoped for. "
5769,52782,2010-06-13,140611,John,"Very nice stay for the price. Everything one would need was provided and Elizabeth went out of her way to be accommodating. I hope to have enough ""organization"" to use this facility again."
5769,70930,2010-07-30,9922,Pedro L,"We had the pleasure of meeting both of them, they were very friendly and helpful, the NW residence was beautiful and cozy, I would definately recommend anyone to stay at their home.  I for one will book them again when I return!!  FIVE STARS!!!!"
5769,80934,2010-08-18,195020,Christopher,"I am a newcomer to AirBnB, and Elizabeth made me feel welcomed and completely comfortable.  Her house is beautiful, and she goes the extra mile to make people feel at home in her home.  She has a very positive spirit that will uplift any weary traveler!"
5769,88163,2010-09-01,51998,Kathleen,Elizabeth is super nice and her property is lovely. It was a great place to stay.  I highly recommend it if you're in the area!
5769,97184,2010-09-14,221942,Melissa,Elizabeth was incredibly welcoming and accommodating.  Checking in and out with her was seamless.  She had prepared a packet of very helpful information to guide us around Austin.  The house was very comfortable and convenient.  We would definitely stay in her home again! Thank You!
5769,111845,2010-10-04,249139,Carolyn,"Meeting Elizabeth very briefly she seems very sweet with a desire for hospitality.  I felt safe and the room was adequate for my need to get a good night sleep and a place to clean up. I don't think I could have found a better price, unless I was staying with a relative or friend!"
5769,117992,2010-10-12,251962,Theodore,Super helpful and convenient!
5769,118770,2010-10-13,251962,Theodore,Super helpful and convenient!
5769,128529,2010-10-27,264551,Isis,"Elizabeth was a WONDERFUL hostess. Right from the start she greeted me with a big packet of information about Austin and her home. Then throughout my stay she stayed in touch by e-mail to answer any questions I might have. In addition to all of this, she is a beautiful and warm person. You would be fortunate to meet her:)"
5769,135897,2010-11-08,278614,Amber,"I booked couple of nights stay at Elizabeth's NW location at the last minute in my Iphone en route to Austin with my baby girl.  She was at work that Friday, but still quick in responding that the room was available.  Though I only got to meet her breifly when going to get the house key, she was sweet as can be.  My daughter and I felt as if we had the house to ourselves and hope to be able to stay again soon. "
5769,137866,2010-11-12,280883,Graciela,"Elizabeth made it all really fast and easy, the house was all for us, and the comodities are really right for the price, clean and tidy house, thanks Elizabeth!
Graciela & Russ"
5769,146647,2010-11-29,284586,Russ,"A lovely, generous couple. Clean, orderly house.  A bit out of the way from downtown Austin. But most worth the while for a layover stop"
5769,166580,2011-01-05,324656,Ed,"I was new to airbnb, and was very happy with my stay.  it was nice meeting elizabeth, she was very easy to talk to and I felt very comfortable staying in her home."
5769,168577,2011-01-09,298261,Nancy,"My son and I had a wonderful stay at Elizabeths home. She and David were great with helping me. I lost my map and David met me to guide us to the home. Their home is easy access off the interstate. My son really enjoyed meeting Jake.

Nancy & Jamey Bond"
5769,169182,2011-01-10,247057,Adam,"The house was clean, spacious and easy to find. Had the weather been better I would have taken advantage of the back patio. The only drawback was the 20 minute drive on Austin's serpentine collection of highways, but not necessarily a drawback unless you stat during the week when you have to contend with rush hour."
5769,172401,2011-01-19,284336,Lauren,"Elizabeth and David are wonderful hosts. They went out of the way to make us feel at home, including sharing their seafood dinner with us. Yum! We stayed at their South Austin house for a couple of weeks and had a great time. Thanks!"
5769,177349,2011-02-01,286054,Stephen,"This was my first experience with airbnb and I will without a doubt be using this service again, thanks in no small part to Elizabeth. She made my stay incredibly easy and comfortable and I highly suggest to anyone coming to the Austin area to stay with these great people. Thanks again, Elizabeth!"
5769,179909,2011-02-08,341797,Eric,"the house was a good value. the weather was crazy cold which had nothing to do with the host but it did color our experience as the house was freezing cold and nothing seemed to help. we used a space heater and the house had electrical problems so that worked occasionally. the internet was down 5 of 6 days so it was very difficult to do business. 
hosts were responsive and helpful. "
5769,184257,2011-02-18,352986,Toni & Pat,"Very Very Nice People,I was Blessed to find this place we relocated and really needed a place we can afford while we looked for work & a Apt It felt like home relaxing place.I would say if you are looking for a nice place THIS IS IT! Thank you for opening your home up and sharing it with us..
I loved sitting on the back porch and meditating with Nature what peace that was,Thank you again hope we stay connected..
Patrick & Toni      "
5769,207179,2011-03-23,9922,Pedro L,"Let me start off by saying that Elizabeth and David are amazing people to get to know, they are very helpful and are great hosts!  The area in NW is peaceful, the house is beautiful and cozy and I love the backyard.  I will highly recommend my family and friends and anyone to stay with them while visiting Austin. "
5769,212955,2011-03-30,364303,Thao,David and Elizabeth are nice friendly people and their house is in a nice quiet neighborhood.  I enjoyed my stay there and the room was comfortable and clean.  
5769,258335,2011-05-10,485946,Alayna,"We had spent an excellent week with Elizabeth while we were waiting for our new home to become available.  It was a great relief to have a nice neighborhood and a backyard for my son to play in, rather than being stuck in a hotel.

Everyone was very pleasant, and the stay went off without a hitch!  Thanks!"
5769,294846,2011-06-02,18871,Layla,Nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Very hospitable. Extremely comfortable bed. Would stay here again.
5769,321726,2011-06-19,438125,Beth,"I stayed with Elizabeth Foix for two weeks with my 7 year old grandson while he attended a camp in Austin. Elizabeth and David were great -friendly and welcoming, very laid back people. Their house was quiet and very clean, easy to come and go, a very relaxing stay.  Would recommend it to anyone as a good place to stay."
5769,427512,2011-08-08,482103,Beth,"Elizabeth and David are the best!  My six-week stay in Austin would not have been the same without them.  Not only was the entire house (bathroom and room included) clean and lovely, but Elizabeth and David really know Austin.  They made my stay incredibly enjoyable and were just delightful!  I would recommend this room to anyone who needs to stay in Austin for any length of time."
5769,478723,2011-08-27,454997,Shauna,"We stayed with Elizabeth and David for three weeks when we moved to Austin. They were wonderful hosts! We loved staying with them and would recommend them to anyone. The only downside is that it takes about 20-25 minutes to get into downtown Austin, so we were driving quite a bit. "
5769,509788,2011-09-06,1103044,Kami,"My boyfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying w/ Elizabeth.  Not only was she incredibly nice, warm, and welcoming, but she also went out of her way to compile a list of great places to check out in the area for us.  The house was nice and clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on - not kidding!!  We would absolutely stay there again in a heartbeat!"
5769,537839,2011-09-16,970705,Brandon,Great place.  Very friendly host.
5769,545203,2011-09-19,733273,Leesa,"Elizabeth was great and her place was lovely! She worked with me to get the keys to us, even though she was working downtown when we arrived. The room was clean and she provided everything we needed. Our whole stay was stress free and worry free and nothing went wrong. It really helped our whole experience with ACL since so much was going on at the festival. It was nice to come back to Elizabeth's and not have to worry. Thank you thank you!"
5769,601422,2011-10-05,1160127,Jennifer,"My husband needed a 3-week stay before our move to Austin and I'm so glad I ran across this site and Elizabeth's room listing! She and David were very gracious hosts and extremely accommodating. Their home is quite nice, very clean, and in a nice neighborhood. Their easy-going style was perfect for us. Elizabeth let my husband leave his car at her house while he flew back to VA to help with the move, which was great that we didn't have to garage it for a week. Our move ended up running a day later, and Elizabeth allowed us to come back and stay another night (my first time there).  We would recommend them any time!  Awesome people, awesome place!"
5769,744356,2011-11-26,1295078,Elise And Scott,"Elizabeth and David are wonderful hosts.  They are so kind and so much fun.  We stayed with them when we first moved to Austin and searched for an apartment.   They were very helpful with advice on the area and told us about a lot of cool things around the city.  It was nice to arrive here, knowing no one at at all, and have people like them welcome us to Austin.  Our stay made us very comfortable here right away and we'll definitely be keeping in touch with Elizabeth and David."
5769,787988,2011-12-16,998739,Nicolle,"Elizabeth and David were great hosts!  We stayed at their place for two weeks while  searching for an apartment in Austin. They were very kind, easy going and a lot of fun as well!  I would definitely recommend staying here. I really appreciated that they were willing to work with us staying a few days longer then planned in order for us to move into our new apartment. ****(Also the bed was really comfy too!). "
5769,871583,2012-01-19,881794,Beth,"Elizabeth and David provide an economical, comfortable, safe choice. They are good people and I enjoyed my two weeks in their home. "
5769,884602,2012-01-26,18676,Melissa,"I had a great stay with Elizabeth and David. We had several nice chats and even went to a yummy Sunday brunch with live music and great atmosphere. The house and room were very comfy, and your hosts have a ton of good information about what to do in Austin, how to get around, etc, and are always available to help and advise. "
5769,887553,2012-01-28,480829,Andy,Elizabeth has a great place to stay at a great value. She was very responsive to my communication and very accommodating by making the couch available for my son.  We plan to stay here again. 
5769,915831,2012-02-12,1649432,Archana,"Elizabeth and David are awesome hosts! Very warm, friendly and very accommodating. During my 3 weeks stay with them, I felt completely at home. My room was cozy with a very comfortable bed. I had great parking space for my car. They were also very welcoming about my using their kitchen. Off and on, I got great recommendations from them about cool places to visit/dine in Austin. This was my first time with Airbnb and it was a beautiful experience, thank to them- I would strongly recommend their place to anyone who is visiting Austin!"
5769,988295,2012-03-11,18676,Melissa,"As usual, I enjoyed staying with Elizabeth and David, and they also made my boyfriend feel welcome when he arrived later on. They go out of their way to make sure you have what you need and help whenever they can, besides the extra's like movies and the occasional taco :) "
5769,991276,2012-03-12,1563356,Beth,"My stay with Elizabeth and David was the best, I couldn't have found better hosts. Got lots of great advice on where to go and they even saved me when I was in a pickle with other accommodation! I really hope I can come back and visit again. "

5769,1205987,2012-04-30,2230020,Cindy,Elizabeth and David were more then we could have hoped for from booking with something like this. We showed up at 6am due to car troubles and they let us stay and extra night for my birthday and our crazy weekend before getting there. We will definitely stay with them again when we come down. Oh and if your a gay couple no problem they had no issues with my girlfriend and I =). 
5769,1220037,2012-05-02,18676,Melissa,"Great stay with Elizabeth and David, as usual. I got to stay in the second bedroom this time, which has more of a relaxing vacation feel (the other bedroom is more comfy-like-home). They are always super nice and helpful. Will be staying here again, I'm sure :) "
5769,1256083,2012-05-09,2069896,Michael,"it was very comfortable staying Elizabeth & David's house.

while i arrived, it was raining very heavily, and coincidently the electricity problem occurred, so it was dark and i cannot identify the address number. then David found me and he took the umbrellas to pick me. and then we talked a lot inside the dark with the lights of candles, sounds romantic? haha :)

the room and the bed were very comfortable and i had a very good sleep. "
5769,1290840,2012-05-16,2199210,Weijie Steven,Very very helpful host. The room is perfect and fairly comfortable. I would give it 6 star rating if I could!!
5769,1295282,2012-05-17,1794298,Claire,"Elizabeth and David were gracious hosts and our room was very comfortable. Elizabeth provided us with several reference handouts, one that included a more detailed version of the ""house rules"" listed online. Great stay, especially for the price."
5769,1306450,2012-05-19,2374712,Shwetha,We had a very good experience staying with Beth and David. They were gracious hosts and very welcoming. Its a cozy warm place in a silent neighborhood. Our room was really comfy too. The bed was soft and just right. The hosts were very helpful and kind. We would recommend their home to anyone who wants to relax after a tiring tour of Austin :)
5769,1319343,2012-05-21,2265441,Marshal,"Elizabeth was an amazing host for my first airbnb trip.  It was a quick trip to Austin and I was only there for a night, but her hospitality was awesome.  Would definitely stay with her again in the future."
5769,1533951,2012-06-22,1886844,Peter,"Absolutely wonderful place to stay. David and Elizabeth are both super friendly and helpful and they made me feel really comfortable. Really beautiful, relaxing place i definitely recommend it! "
5769,1552980,2012-06-24,222581,Laurie,"When I arrived in Austin, I found out that my other lodging accommodations (no one on airbnb) had fallen through, and I was stuck without a place to stay. I went right to airbnb and found Elizabeth - she responded right away to my inquiry. She was very helpful to make my last-minute booking work, and her home was a very comfortable place to stay that night."
5769,1562812,2012-06-25,2685235,Elizabeth,Elizabeth sent a thorough email full of details before we arrived and was extremely helpful even though we never had the chance to meet her. Beautiful home and very comfortable accomodations. She even recommended a great spot in the neighborhood for breakfast. 
5769,1744257,2012-07-18,2373364,Stephen,"As I think many people said already, Elizabeth and Dave are great people. I felt very welcome, and the room and bathroom were great for my needs. I also liked the area, many things I like were in close proximity. I also felt it was a good value."
5769,1816900,2012-07-27,316629,Caroline,"We had a great time at Elizabeth & Dave's.  They were both very welcoming and friendly, their home is lovely, and it is such a fantastic value for the money!  Elizabeth went way out of her way to make our stay easier, recommending places that might fit our interests & helping us figure out our next destination in our road trip.  We also appreciated that she was able to accommodate our same-day reservation request.  The room itself had a queen bed and was very comfortable for two people, though not overly large.  The location is convenient to the city, maybe a 15-20 minutes drive from most of the tourist locations.  Would definitely be back if I had the opportunity."
5769,2007756,2012-08-16,2861735,Paul,"Awesome couple and very comfortable house and room.
I highly recommend it!"
5769,2025683,2012-08-18,3230573,Mr Monk,"Elizabeth and David were warm, welcoming, and just plain awesome hosts! I even got to meet another AirBNB guest, who was just as friendly! The house was clean and well kept, as I'd expect. But the pictures do not do it justice, as the furnishings and decor are wonderful and beautiful! The space (closet and drawer) for our things was extensively abundant! More than enough for a several night stay (SXSW?). It's right off the highway, minutes from downtown Austin. We enjoyed our stay immensely, and are grateful that our first time using AirBnb was with such kind and honest people. I'd highly recommend them over a hotel to anyone, anytime."
5769,2201863,2012-09-04,3392496,Laila,We had a lovely and peaceful stay at the Foix house. They were kind enough to allow us to stay there while they were out of town and the use of their house as a respite after camping was perfect! If we come to Austin again we will definitely consider them a good option.
5769,2292805,2012-09-14,1319504,Nicole,"Elizabeth and David were amazing hosts. On our first evening they invited us to a delicious BBQ. Both of them were warm and helpful and recommended a lot of things to do, while we are in Austin. Their house and the garden are beautiful and in a really nice neighbourhood. It´s better to have a car, when you plan to stay there, because with public transportation it takes you over one hour to get to Downtown. But there are some good restaurants and bars nearby (15 minutes walk). We really enjoyed our stay with Elizabeth and David and we hope to get the chance to meet them again. "
5769,2660899,2012-10-20,2534001,Ernest & Lila,We stayed with Elizabeth for a month while waiting to move into our house. We had our chocolate lab (Max) as well and Elizabeth and David were very welcoming and even took good care of Max. The room is very nice and includes a tv with many cable channels. It is close to nearby stores and around 15 mins drive to downtown. Most importantly is Elizabeth is very friendly and we really enjoyed our stay. They even introduced us to a seafood place and it is now one of our fave restaurants in Austin. We also hang out with them sometimes. 
5769,2829153,2012-11-07,3869013,Travis,"Elizabeth & David are great; we were sort of in and out for a wedding so we unfortunately didn't get to talk to them more, but they definitely want you to feel at home.  They even invited us to hang out with them and their family for dinner/dessert.  One really positive note in addition, as far as the location, is their place is super close to an Alamo Drafthouse--which, if you haven't been is awesome.  We'd definitely stay again--they were super helpful even with us having to get in late at night."
5769,2836825,2012-11-07,3212540,So Young,"I visit Austin every once in a week, but tried Elizabeth's house because I love the location.  I had my first night there two days ago, and it was cozy and comfortable..!  Definitely coming back next week. Thanks, Elizabeth! 
 "
5769,3078648,2012-12-12,1652613,Blake,"Elizabeth and David were absolutely wonderful hosts.  They are very friendly, easy going, helpful and they went out there way to make sure I was comfortable.  There home is very clean, and nicely decorated. I can't say enough nice things about them.  I would definitely recommend them. Thanks Elizabeth and David!  "
5769,3088341,2012-12-14,3212540,So Young,"Cozy, comfortable and welcoming as always. One of my favorite places in Austin!  "

5769,3281265,2013-01-05,4400406,Ju,"The night at Elisabeths and David's place was my first airbnb experience and it definitely was a good one. They  answered all the questions I had and made me feel like I were at my own home. Moreover they helped a lot with touristic stuff. Last but lot least, the bed was really comfortable and I loved the decoration style in the bathroom."
5769,3360637,2013-01-16,3212540,So Young,Always a great place to visit whenever I come to Austin! 
5769,3449545,2013-01-31,3212540,So Young,Super as always was. 
5769,3634188,2013-02-26,5071531,Christopher,"Elizabeth & David you guys were the best and so generous to us for letting us stay at your home. My fiancee & I enjoyed our stay and loved the room we stayed in. Very clean and nicely decorated. Your home is awesome and you are all great company . It was a pleasure meeting you, we got to settle in our new apartment thanks to your help. We would love to visit again and we recommend anyone to stay here. "
5769,3726559,2013-03-08,5335365,Sheila,Elizabeth was a great host. It was my first time in Austin and first time on airbnb.  She communicated frequently to ensure I got to her location.  The room was set up nicely. I had a comfortable stay. I'd recommend staying with Elizabeth.
5769,3920034,2013-03-27,3985427,JoAnne,Really Enjoyed staying with Elizabeth and David. They were very warm and welcoming and made my very first visit to Austin a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting this area to book a room with them. Will book with them again on my next visit there....They are a very Sweet Couple!
5769,3958489,2013-03-31,1525751,Rick,Stayed with Elizabeth for the second time.   It is a very nice place that is quiet and comfortable.  Rooms are very good and would recommend to anyone to stay there.   Hope to be staying there next year when we are in Austin again.
5769,4132390,2013-04-12,2378503,Jennifer,"Elizabeth was a great, thoughtful host, even after having to take my cousin and myself in on short notice!  She welcomed us to her home, showed us around, and even left a few toiletries and other travel necessities for us to use (laundry detergent, hand sanitizer, hair spray, Emergen-C), along with two mugs and tea bags set up in our room.

She was kind enough to let us use her laundry facilities, and when my cousin and I were around to let in a TV repair-man, Elizabeth was very thoughtful and left us some drinks to enjoy when we returned home that night.

It was a short drive to get into downtown Austin, where my cousin and I inevitably ended up every day, but it was worth it to stay in such a comfortable spot!"
5769,4143714,2013-04-13,5885630,Lisa,"We had to find last minute accommodations and Elizabeth was quick to respond, friendly and welcoming.  Her home is comfortable and lovely and had everything we could ask for.  Yay Elizabeth!"
5769,4170075,2013-04-15,3564075,Dc,"Elizabeth's home is elegant, she made sure I was able to get in when needed, my son loved her house, and we were even able to have a friend over for dinner.
While I was gone, my laundry was rotated, and they showed genuine sympathy and understanding when I became distraught looking for lost keys."
5769,4199361,2013-04-17,3212540,So Young,"I always enjoy staying in Foix family's house. As usual, it was a pleasant stay. Thanks!"
5769,4235928,2013-04-21,4189795,Deb,Elizabeth and David were wonderful hosts. Very relaxed - come and go - everything we needed and the price was GREAT!! Recommend to anyone staying in Austin.
5769,4349148,2013-04-29,3564075,Dc,"On this visit, I noticed amenities that had been there before, but we just did not see.  There were tea and hot cocoa pouches with mints, cups, and even fresh fruit, like a classy hotel. Sadly, somebody else booked additional days I wanted."
5769,4399508,2013-05-02,3212540,So Young,Peaceful and peasant as usual! Ms. Elizabeth always tries her best to accommodate my needs. My favorite place when I visit Austin. Thanks!
5769,4481955,2013-05-07,4835661,D G,"We were running around a bunch, enjoying Austin, but Elizabeth was warm and welcoming when wer saw her briefly. The room was simple and sweet, and we slept very comfortably. The area had many trees and was quiet...my girlfriend had a nice run nearby, and enjoyed her birthday there...Elizabeth left us iced sparkling juice and wine in honor of it! We'd stay again, good value and comfort."
5769,4509992,2013-05-09,6105016,Anne,I stayed at Elizabeth's for one night. The price was great for my room and a private bath. I arrived late at night and was able to make special arrangements with Elizabeth so this would work. Directions were easy to (website hidden) stay perfect.
5769,4524876,2013-05-10,3212540,So Young,"This time, I visited Austin with my sister, and both of us really enjoyed the stay. Elizabeth is really flexible with our schedule and everything was perfectly ready as always. Thanks, Elizabeth!"
5769,4794470,2013-05-26,5952881,Chris,"I'm forever thankful to Elizabeth and David for letting me stay in their home. I relocated to Austin from Alabama and stayed here for 1 1/2 months, during my transition period. I didn't know anyone in Austin, but Eliz. & David made sure to keep me involved with their fun activities. From moment one, I felt like I had a two good friends. I ran into many tough obstacles getting on my feet in Austin and they were there to lift me up every time I fell. The house is nestled into a really nice area. It's quite, convenient, and relaxing. Although the house is great, the best asset to this place is Elizabeth and David. They are two of the kindest, helpful, and warm-hearted people you will ever meet. That said, they are COOL and ALWAYS on a new adventure. If you're hesitating about renting this place, just do it. You won't regret it. If it weren't for Elizabeth and David, I would probably be back in AL right now. Thanks for everything! "
5769,4829119,2013-05-28,5304671,Andrew,"Elizabeth and David were out of town for our stay, but they were kind enough to have their friend give us the tour and also left convenient toiletries & city guides for us. Very nice house as well.

We did have some trouble organizing the logistics of the arrival, but there were some extenuating circumstances that influenced that difficulty."
5769,4955919,2013-06-03,6415938,Loverous,Great house. Great family. Simple and easy process. Thanks a million!!!
5769,5426638,2013-06-29,6724658,Paul,"Elizabeth was an excellent host!  We felt welcomed and comfortable the moment we entered her home.  She even left amenities for us, including guides to what was nearby and a map of Austin which was very helpful.  The house was in a safe location and it was easy to get to downtown.  We would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone who needs a place to  stay in Austin."
5769,5565924,2013-07-06,6963267,Artemis,Our first airbnb experience was at Elizabeth's house.  We stayed for two nights. It was an easy process and we felt very comfortable.  We would definitely recommend staying her house.  
5769,5623389,2013-07-08,7184807,Srdan,"Great people, great place!"
5769,5716492,2013-07-13,5009565,Erika,"What a pleasant surprise it was to have such a lovely room to stay in with all of the amenities! It was great visiting with the host family and getting to know them as well. Elizabeth was quick to answer my calls and texts and readily communicated without a problem. Looking forward to the next time I'm in that neck of the woods so I can stay again.
"
5769,5774914,2013-07-15,1714280,Ariel,Super friendly hosts! 25 minutes from downtown with an easy commute is desirable for those who want a quieter stay.
5769,6010322,2013-07-26,7318971,Luisa,"Elizabeth and David are  outstanding , the house was very clean and comfortable ! The neighborhood was very quiet and it is close to different places. The price is great for the room."
5769,6180077,2013-08-02,7421958,Jd,Elizabeth was very accommodating and the room was all ready when I got there.  They made room for me in their driveway and I have to say everything was perfect! I don't think I could have had a better experience!
5769,6649614,2013-08-19,8182637,Armel,"Wonderful, cozy home.  Elizabeth was easy to get in touch with and very accommodating.  Rooms were very comfortable, I highly recommend!  It's a short drive out of the city, but well worth it for how comfortable it is and affordability."
5769,6835264,2013-08-26,8269226,Ian,"Elizabeth and David were awesome! Super friendly, really chill and great folks to be around! They had a great, clean room and a wonderful quiet house tucked away in North Austin! They even let us grill with them out on the back porch and invited us to watch a movie with them in the living room! I'll definitely be staying here again!"
5769,7348280,2013-09-16,329973,Emili,"We had a pleasant experience at Elizabeth's house. The neighborhood was exactly where we wanted to be, and her house was so much better than staying in the nearby Comfort Suites. We enjoyed meeting Elizabeth and David, although we did not see either of them very much. Thank you for hosting us! "
5769,7639600,2013-09-28,5162455,Eric,"This place was great.  Very clean, everything I could ask for was provided, safe neighbourhood, bed is comfortable, nice facilities, free to come and go at any hour without a problem, overall extremely accommodating.  Highly recommended."
5769,7800981,2013-10-03,3805454,John,"Elizabeth's house is beautiful, with a retro-chic kitchen. Both Elizabeth and David were very welcoming and more than willing to help answer any questions I had about the neighborhood. I will also say that the bed in the room was one of the most amazing I've ever slept on. "
5769,7948098,2013-10-09,7172332,Sharon,"Elizabeth is a wonderful host - we had a thoroughly comfortable stay and felt very welcomed! She was very helpful and accomodating, and we will definitely return if we are ever in Austin again.

She also bakes bombass cookies :)"
5769,8053699,2013-10-14,4897268,Ashleigh,Everything was great! Elizabeth and David were super nice. Our room was clean and cozy and the perfect place to come back to after a long day at ACL. I would definitely consider staying here again the next time I'm in Austin. 
5769,8094862,2013-10-15,8917036,Ben,Elizabeth and her husband made us feel right at home.  They are hospitable hosts.  If only we'd had more time to get to know each other better!  But we'll be back.  Highly recommended and a great deal.
5769,8179485,2013-10-19,9335225,Chris,"In town to work and needed a comfortable place to stay during the week close to work, worked out great. Great people, friendly and welcoming."
5769,8340795,2013-10-26,9510179,Nick,"They were super great to stay with. All was as they described it.  The  afternoon I flew in, they invited me to dinner with them in a cool area of Austin, and helped me navigate back to their house through rush-hour traffic.  Their house was clean and inviting.  I was able to cook my own meals there to save some money, and there was a Walmart and grocery stores within 5 min.  I will definitely stay there again when I return to Austin.  "
5769,8361772,2013-10-27,9602632,Brian,"What a great experience.  Lovely accommodations, friendly people, and great hospitality.    Perfect.  I'll be back.   "
5769,8464693,2013-11-01,3958373,Max,"We had a fantastic stay with Elizabeth and David in Austin!  We were in town to check out some of the films at the Austin Film Festival and found their abode the perfect launching pad for getting to the films and exploring all things Austin.  The room was as described and super comfy; it even included a small TV (with cable!).  Also, sheets and towels were clean and fridge space was ample.  Finally, ever the consummate host, Elizabeth gave us great recommendations for hikes and Asian food in Austin.  "
5769,8557772,2013-11-04,9761670,Sofia,"Elizabeth and David were an absolute delight to stay with. Having stayed in hotels for quite a large part of our travels, being taken into someone's home and treated with such kindness was incredible. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Austin you couldn't find a sweeter couple! Plus, their home is lovely and the room tastefully decorated and super comfortable while the neighborhood is quiet and filled with trees growing from every side."
5769,8603835,2013-11-07,7918522,Heather,"Elizabeth's hospitality is 2nd to none. She was very thoughtful in her recommendations for eating and hiking in the area...and of which were spot on. We had a lovely stay in her conveniently located northwest Austin home, and would have loved to have gotten to know her and David better had we stayed longer."
5769,8658705,2013-11-11,1877788,Stefanie,Elizabeth and her family were extremely generous and open to me. My room was clean and private and I was welcomed to join the goings on in their home. Thank you for sharing your stories and home with me during my visit to Austin.

5769,9080077,2013-12-05,821955,Noel,We were very pleased with this our first experience with airbnb. Elizabeth and David were very welcoming and everything as described. A perfect solution to the need of an extra bedroom for my son's apartment not far away.

5769,9290443,2013-12-18,10146316,Karen,"You couldn't ask for better hosts than Elizabeth and Dave. Truly, they are two of the warmest, kindest, most friendly and caring people we've ever met. We felt totally at ease in their home, where they effortlessly strike the perfect balance between privacy and intimacy. We enjoyed cooking in their kitchen, sometimes preparing meals for all four of us. And they in turn prepared several awesome meals, including a cook-out with other guests in from Scotland. A great time was had by all. We love the location, with both local and chain shopping establishments all within easy reach. And the heart of Austin is just a quick and easy drive down Hwy 183, conveniently located within blocks of their home. Praise and accolades to Elizabeth and Dave, ""hosts with the most."""
5769,9323281,2013-12-21,4673996,Sarahlynn,"My mom and I had a lovely stay at Elizabeth's. If was a brief stay, but all positive. The home is easy to find, and the space is clean and private.

5769,9810389,2014-01-11,11110004,Michaela,"This was way better than staying in a hotel! Elizabeth thought of everything, from an extra microwave and a little bar of soap in the bathroom to leaving some snacks in our room. The bed was comfortable and everything was super clean. We got to use their kitchen to make dinner, something we'd missed on the road. I also went for a nice run in their neighborhood—it was really easy to navigate and there was a lot of flat space for running. I got in 4+ miles, and could have easily gone further without getting lost."
5769,9835647,2014-01-13,10805364,Carol,What a wonderful stay!  Elizabeth and David were the perfect hosts.  This was my first airbnb experience and it was better than expected.  The room had everything I could have wanted and lots of little touches to make my experience more enjoyable.  The room was decorated very nicely as was the bathroom.  I am planning to return to Austin and will hopefully be able to stay here again.
5769,9860686,2014-01-14,8777256,Kristin,"Elizabeth and David were absolutely incredible hosts!! We had a long driving day from Big Bend National Park to Austin and got out of the park much later than we meant to, and upon finding out we'd be getting into Austin around dinner time Elizabeth offered to make us dinner! After two days of camping and a long driving day, I can't describe how grateful we were to be offered hot, home-cooked food. We had an amazing meal with her and David and it was a real treat getting to know them. They were both incredibly nice, friendly, accommodating and our room was fully stocked with amenities and very comfortable. I wish we'd had more time to stay with them. If you're in the Austin area, don't pass them up!! We sincerely hope to visit them again!"
5769,9998181,2014-01-24,9455671,Jorge,"Staying here ranks among the best airbnb experiences I've had to date. The hosts were incredibly accommodating; the room was excellent; the amenities, solid. Highly recommended. "

5769,10387552,2014-02-17,11296732,Hannah,"Elizabeth and David were so welcoming! We used their room for a 2-week stay while we were looking for a new apartment. Their house is beautiful, the bed was so comfortable, and the neighborhood is great for walking around, too. Our hosts provided a microwave, television, and even some snacks in our room, as well as the opportunity to use the fridge and washer/dryer. They also invited us to eat with them and friends one night, and we made food for them one night, too. Overall, i would highly recommend Elizabeth and David's place to stay, to anyone who asks! "
5769,10661602,2014-03-02,11743300,Abby,"This was my first time using Airbnb and Elizabeth and David were great hosts! I just moved to Austin and stayed with them for a little over a week while looking for an apartment. They are very warm and welcoming and were very helpful with suggestions on local eateries, places to visit, etc. Their neighborhood was quiet and safe and I had my own little parking spot which was nice. They are a wonderful people and just after talking with them a bit I felt like I've known them for years. :)  I'm so happy I chose to stay with during my transition to this new city."
5769,10819082,2014-03-09,11999725,Jessica,"Wonderful hosts, conveniently located, and beautiful and comfortable place! Elizabeth and David made my first airbnb stay one to remember - and even when my parents decided last minute to visit and needed a room, they were able to stay in my place. Very professional, friendly, and flexible - would highly recommend!!"
5769,10921279,2014-03-13,11674078,Ted,Elizabeth and David are nice and friendly. I could spend calm time at there. Bed and room are clean and nice. Microwave was installed so that I could warm up my tea. Thank you very much.
5769,10998225,2014-03-17,8224829,Robert Wes,"Elizabeth and David are good, friendly people & were excellent hosts, their house was very tidy and well equipped, and my stay at their house in Austin was very pleasant.  They are super nice people who go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable staying in their house.  I highly recommend staying at their house...and what a bargain!  "
5769,11114016,2014-03-21,8976409,Amy,I enjoyed my brief stay and hope to visit again-this time longer. They took care of all the little details and I felt very welcomed. 
5769,11311111,2014-03-29,1609337,Chris,"Elizabeth and David made my stay comfortable and nice. As a guest in their home they offered to make me feel at home and were forthcoming with tips about the area. In addition, Donnie their little dog made me feel welcome and it was fun watching him watch me. I would recommend their home to anyone in the future."
5769,11742623,2014-04-14,10805364,Carol,"Another perfect stay at NW Austin Rooms!  When I found out I was coming back to Austin, I immediately checked to see if Elizabeth and David had their rooms available for me and my friend.  It was a great three night stay.  Elizabeth provides you with a lot of little extras that make your visit special.  I had forgotten a few toiletries but it was no problem because you are provided so many little things in  your room in case you need them.  This trip we took advantage of the quiet neighborhood to take some walks before dawn.  Lovely!  We were in town for a convention downtown and the easy access to the freeway had us there quickly every morning.  We both really appreciated how easy Elizabeth makes everything when you stay with her.  This is where I will always try to stay when I come to Austin.  You can't go wrong!"
5769,14200559,2014-06-14,15927794,Matthew,"I had a great time staying with Elizabeth and David, and let's not forget Donny, their pretty pet dog! They have a nice, clean home in a quiet neighborhood. The area is close to restaurants, shopping, and highways.

When I came home each evening, we would visit. I use the term 'home' because that is just how it felt. It was so enjoyable just spending time with them in their living room. What a great way to relax after a long day!

After visiting, I would lay in bed and watch TV for a little while to finish out my day. There was also a desk and Wi-Fi if I needed to work. The bathroom was just outside my bedroom door, and it was clean. After a great night's sleep in a comfortable bed and a cool shower to wake me up, I was ready for another day at work.

I really enjoyed my stay with Elizabeth and David, and I highly recommend them if you have the chance to visit!

Matthew"
5769,14492465,2014-06-20,15787631,Erika,"My teenage daughter, Kailey, and I have always stayed at hotels but this time we decided to try airbnd and save some money on hotel accomodations. Kailey initially though it was a bad idea to stay in a ""stranger's"" home and she thought it would feel ""creepy."" But, after we walked into the home and met Elizabeth and David we both felt ""at home."" They had a very nice, comfortable home and everything was cozy. Kailey wants us to use airbnb again whenever we travel. It cretainly beats staying in a cold, overpriced hotel. Next time we are in Austin, we will book with Elizabeth and David. "
5769,15504152,2014-07-10,17010090,Ben,"Elizabeth and Dave were great!  We didn't see much of them since we got in late and they left for work early, but they helped us feel right at home.  Note that this location is pretty far north, but that's where we needed to be, so it was perfect!"
5769,15840419,2014-07-16,10219766,Tanmay,"Elizabeth and David are fantastic hosts. They were extremely hospitable, friendly and made me feel very comfortable as soon as I arrived. A very clean house and Elizabeth took care to ensure that anything a guest would need was kept in the room. 

The house is also well located with restaurants, pharmacies etc close by. Easy access to highway as well. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin!"
5769,16143738,2014-07-22,16865287,Alejandra,"I didn't have the opportunity to meet Elizabeth, but the communication was very good and she made us feel so welcome even without her physical presence. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and very clean as well. I was amazed by how much care she took in making the guests feel so welcome and taken care of. The room was filled with so many amenities, including a microwave, coffee, tea, protein bars, lotions, shampoos, all kinds of different things. A very pleasant stay, even though I only spent one night there. I would definitely come back again. "
5769,16331505,2014-07-25,16151209,Theresa,"Elizabeth was a nice host.  She was accommodating, friendly, and helped make our stay pleasant."
5769,17666661,2014-08-15,19255971,Danielle,We booked with Elizabeth very last minute (the day of) and she was SO nice and extremely accommodating. Saved us from having to sleep in our car! She was very nice and the house was super clean. Highly recommend it!

5769,19391803,2014-09-11,5602036,Karon,"I enjoyed meeting my hosts when I arrived around dinnertime. They were very gracious in responding to my text message that indicated I was running an hour behind the agreed upon time. I found their home welcoming, and the room provided for me safe, comfortable, and inviting. The instructions were clearly stated. I had a wonderful stay!
"
5769,19718117,2014-09-16,8571950,Maziar,"Elizabeth and David are truly amazing hosts, very hospitable and friendly. Elizabeth is such a kind person that she invited me to have dinner with them even before we had met. Their house is very clean and tidy and the location was perfect for me. Thank you guys!"
5769,19992390,2014-09-21,21464967,Aj,Wonderful host's with a great and comfortable room. I would definitely  recommend  them as a host. I will be back!
5769,20127570,2014-09-23,21265235,Kelsey,"Elizabeth and David were very hospitable, friendly and welcoming. Everything was newly washed from the comforter to the pillows and sheets. It was truly like staying in a private Bed and Breakfast! We were able to use their accommodations provided and it made for a relaxing and refreshing stay. They are wonderful hosts and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone. It's priced right and the value is top notch. "
5769,20394011,2014-09-28,21611241,Stanley,"Elizabeth was a kind and thoughtful host. Their house was clean and in a nice neighborhood, I had a very comfortable stay!"
5769,20528729,2014-09-30,21466270,Kelly,"Elizabeth and David were wonderful, so friendly and helpful! She was very good at keeping in touch and updating me on anything I needed before I arrived. The house was in a cute neighborhood where I felt safe and secure. My room was exactly as described and was very clean with a extremely comfortable bed and soft sheets. I love my room cold at night so when I saw two fans for my use, I was very pleased. The room was kept at a great temp and nighttime was quite outside and inside the house. The room had extra necessities one might forget to bring, including an alarm clock.  Elizabeth was very flexible with my check in and out time, which helped a great deal while in town. They even have a parking spot in the front so your car isn't sitting in the lane of traffic, I loved this! Location was great, near places to eat and shop. The price is great and the stay was wonderful. I will be using them again, when I come back into town and referring them to others who visit Austin."
5769,20897370,2014-10-07,12330938,Kalee,Elizabeth and David were such great hosts! My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. They were very welcoming and open to chat and let us share their home. If you needed anything they were very accommodating. We've never been to the area and Elizabeth gave us some fun ideas. 100%recommend staying with them. We will be booing with them again whenever we return to Austin!
5769,21201025,2014-10-13,19358410,David,"My dog and I felt quite welcome. Elizabeth and David were accommodating, friendly and welcoming.  Our room had EVERYTHING..! A microwave, TV, dresser, doggie treats, Etc. I even had room for in the closet to put my doggie kennel. Thank YOU...!"
5769,22035104,2014-10-28,22172819,Jennifer,"They were quite warm and friendly, and we felt relaxed with them. Our room and bath were clean and attractive, and we slept comfortably. We would definitely stay there again. "

5769,22651435,2014-11-11,12554389,Beau,Elizabeth and David were the most hospitable hosts! They were very accommodating and made us feel so welcome. The room and bed were very comfortable and clean. Highly recommended!! 
5769,22770060,2014-11-14,9602632,Brian,"Once again, wonderful hosts. Enjoying my second stay here with Elizabeth and David. 

Thanks!"
5769,23371381,2014-11-30,16070327,Zhehao,I really enjoy the stay at the room. It is really clean and cozy. I strongly recommend it!
5769,23781260,2014-12-09,8678251,Victor,Host gave very warm welcome and in addition to towels and sundries an in room microwave was available along with heater & mini TV.  Pet dog was skittish but cute and warmed up to me.  I loved the tasteful interior decorations.  Neighborhood was nice and parking was non-issue.
5769,25210474,2015-01-09,995713,Nasir,Awesome hosts. Very friendly. The house is located in a good neighborhood and for the price its a steal. The room had all the amenities of a hotel. Highly recommended.  
5769,25477480,2015-01-17,2373364,Stephen,"Had a great stay. David and Elizabeth are very accommodating and kind. Was not my first stay here, and I would definitely stay again."
5769,25923324,2015-01-30,11614499,Barbara,"I stayed here for two weeks and Elizabeth and David were AWESOME! They really capture everything that comes to mind when you think of the phrase ""southern hospitality.""  I was welcomed and shown around and told to make myself at home. She gave me my own shelf in the fridge and freezer, let me put my blender on the countertop and cook in the kitchen, and had towels and soap and all kinds of other goodies waiting for me in my room.

Their house is about 25 minutes north-west of downtown, just an easy drive down 183 & TX-1 to get to. The room itself was clean and private and comfortable, and had a TV with cable, a desk (and wifi) and a microwave. There is a man that stays with them who I shared a bathroom with, but he was not home very much. I also had my own little parking space in front of the house, and their dog Donnie is really calm and gentle, he got along with my (senior) dog just great. 

In addition to all of that, they took me to the Alamo Cinema Drafthouse to go see a movie with them, invited me to go for a hike with them, AND let me take home this little stool that my dog had been using to help him get up on the bed. Seriously way beyond the extra mile! 

If you are thinking of coming to Austin (and assuming you have a car or other means of transportation) then you will love staying here. This was my first experience on AirBNB; it was great and I feel like now I can honestly say ""I have friends in Austin!"" :)"
5769,26292254,2015-02-09,520671,Kathy,"Elizabeth was a great host.  She checked in before we arrived to make sure we got there without a problem.  The room was very clean, comfortable and quiet.  It was a nice neighborhood and close to our workshop - a great location for us!!!
She left us some nice snacks too!
Thanks again Elizabeth!"
5769,26799631,2015-02-19,27324289,Hayley,I had an excellent experience.  Elizabeth took very good care of my wife and I.  I highly recommend them to anybody who wants to meet a friendly couple and save money.
5769,26891336,2015-02-21,27385197,Yojin,Elizabeth was a very kind and nice host. She prepared evrything very well for the guest. Even guest room has a microwave!! Her house was beautiful!! It was quiet and cozy room. I enjoyed so much. I will come back again!
5769,27225101,2015-02-28,14446217,Offer,"My host was just perfect, she really delivered whatever she promised, I found the room very clean and comfortable, plus she left me some nice snacks in the room. Elizabeth is very welcoming and hospitable and always with a big smile :)"
5769,28244982,2015-03-21,9076549,Eva,"I highly recommend staying with Elizabeth and David. This was one of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had with amazing hosts who truly make you feel at home and care about your comfort. Elizabeth had even offered to give me a ride downtown and was emailing me suggestions about what to do. Their dog is super cute. The room was nice, warm and cosy. You will not regret staying with such incredible and hospitable people, thanks so much Elizabeth for everything! "
5769,28861540,2015-03-31,3424272,Elizabeth,"Elizabeth and Dave (and their dog Donny) were AWESOME! They were very friendly and accomodating and they truly made me feel at home. They even invited me to hang out with them and eat dinner with them. (Side note: Elizabeth is an amazing cook!) As for the room, it was very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and it wasn't too far from the downtown area. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this place to friends and family traveling to the Austin area. The price is right, the location is ideal, and the hosts are amazing. "
5769,30166490,2015-04-18,30859483,Shannon,"Great experience! As a first time Air BnB user, I was a bit nervous but Elizabeth and Dave were so sweet and accommodating I immediately felt comfortable. It was raining the night I stayed and they even provided an umbrella which I thought was really sweet (we forgot to bring one). The room was very clean and the house was lovely, I wish I could've spent some time in the backyard which is super spacious but the rain was really coming down. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend it. Elizabeth and Dave are great hosts and go above and beyond to make their guests feel comfortable :)"
5769,30755972,2015-04-27,25595651,Rochelle,"Staying with Elizabeth & David was an absolute pleasure!! They were so kind, friendly, & respectful of our space. The room was the perfect size & the bed was almost comfier than my own! They made us truly feel at home while we were in Austin!"
5769,32735410,2015-05-20,19181509,New,"Elizabeth was very personable, accommodating and responsive to my initial inquiries. She was quick to work with me and greatly appreciate her attentiveness. 

She came to the rescue when there was no where else to stay. I was very impressed to see the welcome basket she had put together. It was just the right touch to try and make it feel like home. "
5769,33536016,2015-05-29,9651722,Jesse,"Elizabeth and David were personable, attentive, accommodating, and responsive to my needs. They seem to genuinely enjoy hosting airbnb guests. This was a last-minute stay right after the worst of the central Texas flooding; Elizabeth helped me work around the weather and was flexible about my arrival time, and David gave me some tips on routes to avoid the worst of Austin's traffic. I appreciate their generosity, enthusiasm, and interest in providing a good experience for their guests. "
5769,33752146,2015-05-31,289227,Andrea,"Elizabeth was very accommodating during our one night stay. She left towels and toiletries in our room, and everything was very clean. She was also very welcoming and friendly. "
5769,34832557,2015-06-12,34876230,Kinsey,"My stay at Elizabeth's was short, but great. My room was clean, I felt very safe, and the bed was so comfortable! I enjoyed Elizabeth's company and am looking forward to staying in her home again in July. "
5769,35493402,2015-06-19,1919916,John,The place is as described. The house is in a quiet and safe location. Elizabeth and David were great hosts. She was also very helpful to me during my search for a place to live as I am new to the area.
5769,36064396,2015-06-24,10587334,Sloan,"Fine place at a reasonable price. Very kind home owners. Place was perfectly safe, etc. their dog was chill. Bed was comfortable, room has various little extras that reflect that kindness of the owner. More than one room rented out, other renter (who I never actually saw) was not an airbnb renter, but not on lease as best I could tell. So you'll likely be sharing a bathroom/shower with that person. 

No problem for me, but since its an issue for some: fyi...there were fairly strong smells throughout house. Owner uses soaps, dryer sheets, etc with strong fragrances. So the sheets are pretty fragrant. And kitchen smelled like Indian food spices. Like i said, not so strong a normal person would really care, but if you have a sensitivity, now you know. I will stay there again next month when back on business. "
5769,36253667,2015-06-26,36310012,Bianca,I felt really comfortable and relaxed in Elizabeth's home. It was nice to settle down in a quiet community that is still close to downtown Austin.
5769,36837987,2015-07-01,34876230,Kinsey,"I have stayed at Elizabeth's twice now. My second experience was just as great as my first. If you're looking for a comfortable, feasible, and safe experience in NW Austin, I definitely recommend Elizabeth's! "
5769,37889877,2015-07-11,34876230,Kinsey,"Elizabeth's was clean, tidy, and safe as usual. I honestly don't have any complaints about staying at her place! I highly recommend her residence if needing a place to stay in NW Austin! "
5769,40331471,2015-07-30,34876230,Kinsey,I really enjoyed staying at Elizabeth's. She kept the house very clean and accommodated my needs. I highly recommend Elizabeth's!
5769,40730915,2015-08-02,21466270,Kelly,"This is the second time I have stayed with Elizabeth and David and wont be the last. They are great host and so friendly and welcoming.  Last visit was in and out, this trip I got more time to talk to each of them and they really are delightful, and you cant forget the adorable Donnie Dog. The room was clean and spacious, it included towels, extra sheets, toiletries, water, microwave and some small snacks. The room had a tv with cable and ample lighting. They have parking outside for you, so  you know your car isn't just sitting on the street waiting for someone to hit it. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, I have come in late and left early and never felt uneasy. Their location is close to shopping, restaurants and bars. The price is hard to beat for what you get and communication was a breeze!  I look forward to coming back!"
5769,41291950,2015-08-05,2845732,Becki,"A very nice, well-kept older QUIET neighborhood close to shopping and a Gold's gym, and probably two minutes from 183 (before it becomes toll). There is offstreet parking, which in an older suburban neighborhood with narrow streets is a *real* score.

I was warmly welcomed, the room was large with a desk, and there was a large yard with a deck. The A/C is very good, always important in Texas. The closet is large, and there is a microwave in the bedroom, with tea, etc. The shared bathroom was old, but clean, nicely decorated, and very serviceable. 

THE MATTRESS IS UNCOMFORTABLE. Be aware.

There was a dog, but I only saw it when I arrived. It was very quiet the remainder of the time I was in the house."
5769,43142798,2015-08-17,3230573,Mr Monk,"This is the first place I experienced with Airbnb years ago. After several complications last month, I was so close to my trip dates I became frantic. Seeing Elizabeth's place pop up gave me relief, as I knew they were communicative and reliable. I enjoyed my trip so immensely, and didn't have to spend more at a hotel room for much less. (It's not luxury/celebrity, but definitely worth twice the price.)
Always friendly, always genuine, always comfortable (even the bed, which I slept soundly in), this stay was even better than the first. Highly recommended!"
5769,43587694,2015-08-20,32609112,Amanda,"I had a great stay at Elizabeth's. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and inviting, and Elizabeth was so friendly and even provided us with a list of things to do in Austin. "
5769,47619494,2015-09-21,8596026,Mary Ann,"I was warmly welcomed by Elizabeth. I felt at home in her home. She was respectful of my privacy and available if I had questions. I appreciated the fact that she uses texting and the phone for communicating. The bed was comfortable.  I was provided with shampoo, extra razor and a few other items travelers sometimes forget. Elizabeth seems to truly enjoy hosting. She has a nice backyard with beautiful oak trees. Plenty of shade in the morning for breakfast on her backyard deck. "
5769,49588295,2015-10-05,32899333,Kat,"Elizabeth and David were lovely! The room was as described, very clean, and had a nice little welcome setup! Perfect especially for the rate. Only 25 minutes from downtown and as long as you don't hit rush it's an easy drive. The neighbourhood is quaint, very quiet, lots of trees! We weren't at the house much during our stay, but felt very welcome and comfortable!"
5769,50548727,2015-10-12,45454697,Monica Romig,"This was a wonderful place for my husband and I to stay during our weekend trip to Austin. Elizabeth and her husband are warm and helpful hosts without being intrusive in any way. The room and bed were quiet and comfortable, we felt free to come and go as we pleased, and we never felt like we were in anyone's way. It was a great launching pad for our adventures in Austin during the day. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."
5769,51100088,2015-10-17,34271035,MorningStar,It was nice and clean. Really sweet and quiet.
5769,52039513,2015-10-26,33196744,Jaime,"General hospitality is like being at home. Truly Elizabeth and David, are charming, friendly and willing to help you in whatever you need people, very nice house and more than comfortable room for our stay, it has everything you need .We like very much and hope to return."
3862246,37116694,2015-07-04,3473686,Peter,"This was by far the nicest airbnb I've ever been to! Denise really went the extra mile to make this house a warm and inviting experience. With more than enough room for two, every amenity you could imagine was provided: from a luxuriously comfortable bed, access to the shared fully stocked kitchen with breakfast items, a roomy shower in our private bathroom only accessible from our room, a private entry from outside, and even our own air conditioner with personal temperature controls.  Everything was immaculately clean and fresh.

I feel like she rolled out the red carpet for us and absolutely enhanced our time in Austin. Plus she is charming and inspiring: a bubbly type of a woman who works tirelessly to make sure you have a great experience in Austin.   We used two 7-speed bikes that had Austin personality. It was a true joy to stay with her!  

The neighborhood is lovely and safe centrally located on the eclectic East Side of Austin, close to many restaurants and one of the BEST Coffee Shops in Austin, “Figure 8” owned by a couple who toured the world playing in some well known bands. I even went for a late night walk and felt completely comfortable.

We would definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay here again for future Austin visits!
"
3862246,37265851,2015-07-05,36149273,Venkataramana,"Denise was very welcoming and accommodating. This was my first stay at a space listed on airbnb, and she made sure that it was a pleasant one.

The room was very clean and everything smelled fresh. Convenient location and presence of cafes and restaurants in the neighborhood made the deal even better!"
3862246,40979749,2015-08-03,38573557,Sarah,"Staying in the East Side Bungalow was a wonderful experience! Denise made us feel at home right away, and provided little extras that made us feel like long-lost friends rather than total strangers. The room was as advertised, the neighborhood was very safe and conveniently located, and Denise provided us with advice and recommendations that were invaluable. Despite the fact that I was there for a job interview, it was one of the most relaxing ""vacations"" I have had in a long time. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, settle into one of Denise's backyard lounge chairs, and listen to the cicadas churrrrrrrrr. You'll never want to leave. "
3862246,41890424,2015-08-09,39633297,Chad,"Denise was really helpful with her suggestions of what to do in the city and helped out finding places and restaurants that we could check out.  She made us feel really welcome and had some drinks already waiting for us which was really considerate! The house and room were really clean and the bathrooms were stocked with all the essentials in case you forget anything - a really convenient plus! Overall, Denise was a great host and made us feel right at home which was great! "
3862246,45985231,2015-09-07,2567754,Mary,"Denise sets the bar high for all other AirBnB hosts. When communicating with her before my arrival, she was always quick and thorough in her responses, making sure I had all the information I needed. Once I arrived in Austin, Denise was so accommodating and thoughtful. This shows in all the small details, like providing locally made beverages and snacks, and all the above-and-beyond gestures, such as providing me with a ride to and Franklin's and helping me make arrangements for my transportation to the airport on my last day. Denise made Austin feel like a ""home away from home"" for me, which is no small feat considering this was my first trip to Austin on my own. I highly recommend her bungalow / private room for your stay in Austin!"
3862246,47594864,2015-09-20,12590736,Omar,"The place is fabulous. I stayed in suite which was very clean and comfortable. The back yard is a great space and the tiny house in the back is an architectural marvel. The house is located in the heart of E. Austin, with plenty to do. I used the Bcycle to get me into town as the bike path is on 5th.
Denise is the ultimate host. She has thought of every detail to ensure guest comforts. She is extremely helpful and will go beyond to ensure a good experience."
3862246,47893239,2015-09-21,41846055,Michael,"We had such a wonderful time with Denise. We've been to Austin a zillion times, but this was the first time doing Airb&b.  will likely never go stay any other place again.  She's awesome."
3862246,48815576,2015-09-28,11001934,Claire,"Denise was incredibly accommodating. My flight arrived late such that I had to go straight from the plane to an event, which meant the first time I could check in with Denise was late-night. She made me feel at home. The room was clean and included spare amenities in the bathroom; it almost felt like a hotel! There is a private entrance for your room, which makes coming and going non-disruptive. I would definitely return."
3862246,49603556,2015-10-05,38394827,Leyla,"Denise was amazing! She was so flexible and accommodating. Loved her place it was conveniently located, close to everything, incredibly clean and we had a overall great experience.  "
3862246,50743267,2015-10-14,538321,Tracy,"We had such a great stay at Denise's home.  Our room was spacious and lovely with our own private entrance and parking always available right outside the door.  Very cute backyard as well. The neighborhood is quiet safe and very pretty, and also very close to many awesome restaurants, pubs, clubs and boutiques.  We had a rental car and found Austin easy to navigate and pretty quick to get anywhere. Public transit was close by also and seemed ample.

Denise is a wonderful host...very kind and generous and a pleasure to chat with.  I would highly recommend Denise's place to anyone.   This was our first trip to Austin and it could not have been better. Loved the doggies too!  Thanks so much.  Hope to be back soon :)"
3862246,50952153,2015-10-16,7744817,Kristina,"We has a wonderful stay at Denise's place - the room was very comfortable and nicely decorated as well as the bathroom, which had all the amentities you could think of and more. The room also had a private entrance. The place is located in a quiet neighbourhood, close to many restaurants and bars - we had a rental car and it took us 5 mins to reach Downtown. Austin was easy to navigate and we didn't have any problems finding a parking space. Denise was a wonderful host and her dogs were super cute.  "
3862246,51058402,2015-10-17,44285967,Iain,"I only stayed at Denise's for one night and immediately regretted not being able to stay longer. Denise is absolutely lovely. She was welcoming, thoughtful and her attention to detail was amazing.  The Iocation is super convenient and the suite is positively luxurious. And the dogs are cute. I don't really know what else to say. If I come back to Austin I would love to stay at hers again."
3862246,51457529,2015-10-20,43871422,Kathleen,"Denise was very kind and welcoming.  The description was accurate, and the room and bath were very nice, but I don't remember mention of any dogs.  She has two.  They are very sweet, but my travel companion is not a ""dog"" person."
3862246,51698589,2015-10-24,38403247,Neil,"Denise could not have been more welcoming, relaxed or respectful of our space and sharing of hers. Clean, comfortable, laid back, well equipped, a delight.  We would stay there again in a heartbeat."
3862246,52096692,2015-10-26,14407252,Tom,"We absolutely loved this cozy home, artistically decorated and thoughtfully welcoming with all the amenities of home.  Comfortable bed and nice roomy bathroom.  There is a private entrance but we were very welcomed into the main living area as well.  Denise is an awesome hostess who really makes an effort to help with dining and entertainment suggestions in Austin.  The neighborhood is safe and convenient with quick access to downtown, the airport and the racetrack.  We really enjoyed our stay!!"
3862246,52303822,2015-10-27,46774705,Christina,"Denise was super kind and welcoming! The place was exactly as described; the bed was super comfy and the room was decorated with touches that made it feel homey. Loved the walk in tiled shower! Denise greeted us and offered us a local beer upon arrival. She was flexible with our arrival time. This was our first time visiting Austin, and we asked Denise for some recommendations. She was so sweet and helpful! She wrote up some detailed notes just for us! Thankfully, she also told us about Franklin BBQ - we went and waited in line the next morning for lunch. DEFINITELY worth it! We would stay with Denise again when we find ourselves back in Austin! "
3862246,52894239,2015-11-02,30050627,Amber,"Denise was super accommodating, and took time out of her day to do some research on some delicious Italian places. We loved her recommendations and she is super hospitable. Location was great, room was super clean, the sheets and towels smelled really nice. Bed was comfy. Our own private entrance was great also. "
2808768,13493610,2014-05-28,7248225,Lee,"Terrific stay here. Great house and yard, unbeatable location. Highly recommend. "
2808768,13934684,2014-06-08,11177008,Selena,"Loved this house! Great neighborhood - close to bars/restaurants on South Congress. House is very charming, clean, well-furnished. The back patio is adorable and I wish had time to spend using it!"
2808768,14171358,2014-06-13,27558,Atul,"The Austin house we rented was perfect for me and my two friends who are a couple.  It was as described and as shown.  The neighborhood is convenient and quiet, as many other guests have noted.

The check-in and check-out process with the rental agency was smooth and easy, though we found the 10am check-out time to be unreasonable.  I know we were informed of that in the listing description but it was an inconvenience.

Also the process was a bit too anonymous.  We never met anyone from the rental agency (though perhaps that's preferable to some) and when the cleaning guy showed up at 10am for checkout I said ""Yeah we're ready, just give us a few minutes"".  When we walked out a few minutes later he was long gone.  Not a big deal I guess, though worth noting perhaps.  This is definitely a solid place to stay and we were happy with our time spent there."
2808768,20282869,2014-09-27,3916797,Kelley,There is no direct contact with the host at this location. I don't mind that at all. Check in was easy. The emails with directions were helpful and made our stay very easy. We loved staying here!
2808768,22319317,2014-11-03,9058020,Milan,"Clean, tidy, fully-equipped and close to all. Great retreat for our F1 wkd. "
2808768,23794281,2014-12-10,326077,Rachel,"First, the location. I lived in Austin for 12 years and still visit regularly. This house is in an excellent central location. It's a short walk to Bouldin Creek Cafe (longtime favorite restaurant), Polvos (salsa bar!), the Soup Peddler, shops on Congress Ave & S.1st, and many other places. It's also super close to downtown, Alamo Drafthouse, Barton Springs/ Zilker Park, etc. This neighborhood remains my favorite in the city. 

The house itself is run as a business so the furniture/decor looks like it is from a staging company. It is perfectly nice and comfortable but doesn't have a ton of character (if you are after that sort of thing). The house is big, clean, comfortable and functional. It has great lighting, plenty of seating in the living room, a sizable kitchen, and a huge dining room with lots of windows looking into the backyard. The beds are comfortable.

The description said the rental has a fully stocked kitchen. While it did have all of the basic kitchen gear we needed (pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, etc), it didn't have things like cooking oil, spices, coffee, etc. That's totally fine but I took fully stocked to mean there would be some basic cooking staples on hand. 

The hosts were responsive and available 24/7. 

The check-out time is earlier than I'd like (10am) but they will give you a noon check-out time if it's not being rented out later that day. 

I wouldn't call this place a ""hidden gem"" but it is a very solid choice for a place to stay in Austin. Clean, comfortable and a great location. "
8268490,48605026,2015-09-27,17398174,Michael,We loved the house. Great location very friendly. Will definitely try to use again on next visit.
279532,999058,2012-03-14,1624036,Brandon,"Andrea is the nicest hostess you can have. The rooms are clean and all her rates are more than reasonable! I stayed here for SXSW and Andrea drove me to wherever I needed and also picked me up and dropped me off at the air port at a more than reasonable rate. She was very nice and also was very helpful with whatever I needed.
She is like family to me now."
279532,1006599,2012-03-17,1723132,Dave,"Andrea was extremely nice, the accommodations were clean, comfortable, quiet, and great overall. Would stay again."
279532,5237603,2013-06-19,6886695,Tiki,"I stayed in a different room than the one pictured and it was great!  I had my own restroom inside the room.  The room was very clean and I met & chatted with  one of the rarely seen guests in the shared kitchen.  This spot doesn't look like a house or apartment, but that didn't take away from the stay.  The location is very close to the freeway and it's quiet and low key.  I'll definitely stay here again.  Andrea, thank you for your hospitality."
279532,6948541,2013-08-31,7956566,Jessica,How special to stay there! VERY clean! And beyond helpful and kind! 
279532,7859876,2013-10-06,9019512,Gao,very nice room. great service. will come again.
279532,7935725,2013-10-08,8332958,Alexander,"I had the pleasure to stay at Andrea's place. From the minute I arrived to Austin, both Andrea and his husband made me feel as I was part of their family. This is their passion, they love what they do and you can feel that energy. They where extremely helpful and driving me to diferent places I had to go. 

The kitchen is full of food in case you are hungry and they are always alert if you need a ride, no matter how late it is. If you arrive to Austin via a Greyhound bus , this place is a great value for you because their place is only a couple of miles away from the Greyhound station. 

Zen Stay is an inspiration of how she wished that she was treated when she arrived to the states. I learned a lot of how she treats people, and how organized she is.

I am looking fwd to stay with them again, anytime. This is my first time using Airbnb and I don't plan stay at a regular hotel again, loved this service."
279532,7969907,2013-10-10,2732022,Brian,Great place. Clean. Andrea was very friendly and accommodating. I had everything I needed and more. Highly recommended!
279532,8104245,2013-10-15,6006331,Arch,"I had a very warm and comfortable stay at Andrea's. Andrea is a very simple and sweet person herself. She made sure I had all the amenities in my room, abundant closet shelves/towels etc and even a small fridge with a full bottle of water. She allowed me to use the kitchen as and when I wanted to. She even stocks the kitchen daily with lots of breakfast stuff and is very generous about food. One night she cooked for everyone and especially made a vegetarian version for me since I don't eat meat. Thanks a lot Andrea. I would recommend staying at her place to anyone!"
279532,8784780,2013-11-18,8563346,Haiyuan,Perfect place to stay. I'm feeling very lucky to find this place and know Andrea. And I'll definitely stay here in my next trip to Austin.
279532,28402770,2015-03-23,27564450,Nasym,"This was my first time using Airbnb, on da real someone like me would never try something new like this. And I must say this was an excellent experience are host had plenty food and drinks. She also drove us around the city for a very low cost. I would definitely be back thanks for experience."
279532,29808505,2015-04-12,26230125,Sadie,"This weekend was my first experience using airbnb, and im glad I did! Andrea is such a great host! She was so sweet and attentive. She thought of everything! Even down to color coordinating our towels so we wouldn't confuse them amongst the three of us. The room was clean and quiet. The bed was comfy, bathroom was huge! She has a kitchen where she has oatmeal, fruits, bagels and other breakfast items available. Along with ramen noodle and other munchies for midnight snacks! Andrea is also very easy to reach if needed I would definitely stay here again. Its right off thr highway and close to everything. Andrea's hospitality is just amazing."
279532,32068531,2015-05-13,31108448,Muhammad,"Andrea is the best host. At first prior to my booking when I saw so many positive feedbacks, I was surprised that how come someone has all positive reviews. but now I know why everybody loves her. She makes you feel comfortable as you live in your own house. she buy plenty of food for all the guests. Her house is so clean and tidy. Nobody disturb you what so ever. Andrea and her husband both are really sweet. "
279532,33204876,2015-05-25,33903698,Aaron,Great stay with Andrea! She is incredibly kind and accommodating! Room was great and clean. The drive from anything cool was very short. The one thing that was a con was that our room was next to the freeway and it was noticeable at night. Would definitely stay again.
279532,43958522,2015-08-23,16982925,Shirlyn,Yes she did. She was always ensuring that I was comfortable and my needs were well attended to.
279532,49052612,2015-09-30,44204526,Heather,Andrea is a great host and staying at her place was a good experience.  She is kind and helpful and pleasant to be around.  
5453380,33300314,2015-05-26,32880141,Sahil,"Everything was good.
Zach was very friendly in the email exchange & gave very precise directions & instructions.
It was perfect"
5453380,33851835,2015-06-01,30959658,Sky Vision,All good - Zach was a great host!
5453380,34713056,2015-06-11,23264218,Bethany,The neighborhood was convenient. We were welcomed with a muggy 110 degrees inside the apartment.
5453380,35594004,2015-06-20,9508963,Brian,"Zach's place was quiet, close to campus, and the interior was as described.  Zach was very communicative, without being at all pushy.  All in all, a great experience. 

The only thing worth noting is the the house is a triplex (I think - multi unit in any case).  The front door s at the top of a longish staircase - about 1.5 flights of stairs. "
720740,3761506,2013-03-12,1031765,Allan,"Property is close to downtown, peaceful and has ample room. Zachary and Virginia were terrific hosts, they gave us a list of cool places to check out and were very generous in letting us use the home and even opening up their fridge. There are really cool gardens and even chickens outside! The house was plenty big enough to fit our group of 9, and I recommend it if you want rural charm that's close to downtown. "
720740,28247294,2015-03-21,11532187,Don,"Zachary really made us feel welcome in his home. He explained where everything was and helped us get settled. The house is nice and well-appointed. The kitchen has everything you need, bathrooms are clean and the living rooms and bedrooms are comfortable. Though, 2 of the bedrooms don't have real beds in them. One has a futon and the other has an air mattress.

One additional thing to keep in mind is that there are chickens right outside your bedroom window. Bring earplugs if you want to sleep past 5am.

Also, the location is a bit remote. If you're planning to be in downtown Austin it will take about 15 minutes to get there by car."
720740,40156588,2015-07-28,25475794,Felix,"Zachary was an excellent host; he was easy to work with whenever we had questions. His home was clean and spacious; the property was pleasant. Be sure to have a car -- apart from walking around the property and the immediate area, a car is instrumental for getting around. "
5593238,28109987,2015-03-17,3125811,Margaret,"Cute place, great neighborhood. Nico was lovely. "
5593238,28430197,2015-03-23,11581879,Luke,"Nico is a knowledgeable accommodating host. Her space is clean, close to bus routes and an outstanding coffee shop. I felt right at home during my trip to Austin, and would definitely stay again."
5593238,49858241,2015-10-06,44793238,Jack,"Nico is a great host, we were extremely thankful for her informative guidance for places to visit in Austin. The neighbourhood is very quiet and the coffee shop is great for live music, food and drink. 

The studio is great for two people with ease of access. Had a great stay in Austin and hope to return. 
 "
5593238,51068322,2015-10-17,23970216,David,I had a really nice stay. They neighborhood is really quiet and peaceful. I loved how well stocked the house was. It's so great to have a whole apartment to yourself. 
5593238,51677244,2015-10-22,20988047,Zain,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5260962,28127485,2015-03-18,7000914,Kade,Kiona was great. Super helpful and accommodating. Everything was just like she described. The bed is SO COMFORTABLE. No complaints. Clean and quiet. 
5260962,28313237,2015-03-22,1727716,Joe,"Kiona was very considerate to allow us to stay in her lovely home, it was in a safe gated community not too far from the city. Even though she was not in the country she was very attentive and responded to my messages quite quickly. I would enjoy staying with her again if she would have us. This was the 3rd year we have used Airbnb for SXSW and she was by far our favorite host. Thank you Kiona!"
5260962,33129675,2015-05-25,5478532,Young,Kiona's place is very clean and spacious. Communication was easy and responsive. It's a good place to stay while visiting Austin.  
5260962,37433300,2015-07-06,1635200,David,"Kiona was a great host, and the kind of person you want to get to know.  Her place was immaculate and comfortably furnished. Very clean minimal but homey design aesthetic. The entire home was freshly painted with new flooring, etc. If you are renting just one of the bedrooms, you may have other renters in the other bedroom--our neighbors were great. The self check in process was easy and clear, and other than cleaning up after ourselves in the kitchen, we just packed and went on our way upon checkout. Even though the house is not downtown, it was easy to get in and out of Austin, and my partner and I enjoyed the peace and quiet to get away to.  At the price we paid, this was an amazing value."
915082,3988983,2013-04-01,5563557,Chad,"The townhouse is brand new and is located in a great location a few blocks from S. Congress St.  The place is very clean,nice and the bedroom located downstairs adds privacy for those traveling with three or more people.  The location has a garage and keyless entry.  I would recommend this location to anyone who wants to be centrally located near everything Austin has to offer.  Deacon is an awesome host and made our stay very enjoyable.  The great part about this location is the host does not live in the townhouse but is easily accessible for any questions.  I will definitely stay at this location again!!"
915082,12354391,2014-04-29,10946847,Shannon,"Very quiet, safe neighborhood, new and modern townhouse.  It is very close to the downtown with easy access to the freeway.  We really enjoyed our stay!  The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything you may need to fix up a quick meal.  Our family of five had plenty of space to move around and having the two bathrooms was a bonus.  Deacon mentioned use of the swimming pool but unfortunately we didn't have time to take advantage of it.  Would love to stay again."
915082,12849905,2014-05-12,14060035,Megan,"The listing was just as expected- perfect for a bachelorette weekend and super close to all the right spots. the location was very easy to get to, and was a great neighborhood."
915082,13419012,2014-05-27,14004350,Kimberly,"Deacon was awesome, extremely prompt with responding and thoughtful. The house was great, very nice and I cannot emphasize enough how great the location was! Hope to stay again ASAP!"
915082,16992035,2014-08-05,17011038,Danny,"The experience was good overall and Deacon was eager to answer any questions I had. However there were a few issues that I wanted to point out. This was my first airbnb booking, so maybe I didn't understand the whole process. On the day before we were to arrive, Deacon calls me to say that the air-condition for unit we were renting was broken and was willing to offer his unit which was right next door. It was a little odd at first, but thought nothing more of it. When we arrive at the place, the setup was pretty similar to the pictures since it was supposedly a similar layout. It was definitely more messy than what the pictures show. We look around and realize there are only three beds ( 2 bedrooms and 1 twin size air mattress) instead of four beds listed in the posting. There was a large bean bag chair, but I wouldn't call that a bed. We look around for instructions for where everything is including towels, wifi password, sheets, pillows. I end up having to text him to find out. Not a big issue, but would have been nice to have that written down somewhere. The towels and bed sheets were less than clean and so we had to use the washing machine to clean them. Again, would have been nice to have these clean already. We end up running out of paper towels and toilet paper as neither of those were stocked for us. Then we notice dog hair on a bunch of the furniture including the large bean bag chair. One of our friends was arriving later in the trip and we find out she is allergic to dog hair. Mentioning that a dog lived in the house would usually be something you put in the post, but again that was never communicated to us. Other than those issues, everything else was fine. Location was great. I text Deacon after our trip to let him know of those issues. He apologized and said we should have mentioned those issues to him. It was a failure on my part in not mentioning all those issues to him in the beginning, but he should have been more proactive as a host. He knew that he was offering his home to us, but it did not seem he took the necessary steps to prepare for any guests. It felt like he just left us the keys and had us figure out everything. Hope this review helps him correct those issues for future guests."
915082,18716868,2014-08-31,12738408,Gordon,We never actually got to stay in Deacon's apartment due to a mix up with bookings. But Deacon worked very hard to get us an alternative apartment and it worked out great. It will not prevent us booking us again. 
915082,21198052,2014-10-13,17931586,Lauren,"Deacon was a pretty ideal host. We didn't see him, but he answered every question I had. He responded quickly and thoroughly via text and the house is great! It's close to everything and is a really cool, modern space. The pool in the complex is also awesome, no issues with the neighbors, only heard drunk people one time (we stayed during ACL so that was a pretty pleasant surprise).

The only issue, and I saw someone else raised this as well, is that a dog definitely spends time here. There is hair throughout the house and when we first arrived, before we opened some windows, there was a slight but distinct odor. One of our guests is pretty allergic, but a trip to CVS quickly remedied that. I also asked Deacon where he kept his extra sheets, and he quickly let me know where I could find them.

I tend to think he would have offered a solution if I let him know the dog hair was a problem, but I wasn't sure of the options and it wasn't bad enough for us to want to leave. Overall, he's super accommodating, the place is perfect for a large party and in a great location in Austin. "
915082,21964199,2014-10-27,9891574,David,"A-. Great place and great location. The only issue was that we didn't get to use the garage, but the street parking was fine. Deacon is very available to help you with anything.  "
915082,22298810,2014-11-03,11951539,Rusko,We were group of five people. Came from LA for F1 race. Spent tolal of 4 nights and didn't have any problems during our stay. Deacon was responsive all the time . Very helpful and communicative. The area is quiet and neighbors are chill and friendly. Im glad the house has a bbq and w/d that we used during our stay. And we had small welcome present waiting for us in the kitchen!
915082,22577373,2014-11-10,12776184,Dee,"Deacon was super quick to get back to any concerns and the neighborhood is quite nice, but a good 30 min walk to downtown (but So Congress is a hot spot) - so the bikes were a major sell for us. However, both bikes had flats, so ended up resorting to city bike share. Deacon also provided a free night at the end to a couple that were staying longer. "
915082,26668986,2015-02-16,21779679,Liam,The reservation was canceled 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
915082,47642633,2015-09-21,19474761,Chris,The place was just as expected.  Great location and matched the provided description.  Thanks for a great stay.
915082,50267376,2015-10-11,16043104,Connie,"The house was exactly as described and really convenient for ACL, being less than a 10 minute drive from Zilker. We were super close to all of our favorite South Congress eats (e.g. South Congress Cafe, La Patisserie, Magnolia Cafe). Access was super easy and there was tons of available street parking. There were enough beds for 6 people and extra air mattresses if we needed them. The house was well kept and clean when we arrived and check-in was easy. Deacon was super flexible and responsive, even to our late night texts when we arrived in town. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a quiet residential area near South Congress. "
8291582,49828770,2015-10-06,21887806,Emma,"Lauren had everything set up for us when we arrived. She laid out a key, bus maps, restaurant recommendations, wifi code, reminders, and everything else we needed all in a cute notebook. She even left us some Austin brewed beers in the fridge which we thoroughly enjoyed. The bungalow is tucked away from traffic and in a great location. With parking  spaces available. We didn't have to walk far to the bus stops. The cat buddy occasionally came to say hi, but bc of our allergies we couldn't let him in. We even saw a snake coiled up on the grill basking in the sun one morning! The bedroom was so comfy and the bathroom was spotless with great water pressure. Lauren provided plenty of toiletries and towels. I would recommend the blue bungalow to anyone who enjoys a cozy home with Austin vibes. 

Thanks again!

As far as the room goes, it was perfect for what I needed! I highly suggest that you book with Chris if you are wanting a short drive in to town!!"

304808,958269,2012-02-28,369793,Silvia,Chris's place is in a great location. He has a handy lock box that enables you to check in without arranging a meet up. He is easy to contact and responds quickly. The apartment has a comfy bed and really nice bathroom. He leaves a list of his favorite places to eat and some hot tips. We had no idea how much was within walking distance. That would be our favorite amenity is his great price and the walkability. FYI the pizza place he recommends is awesome!
304808,963292,2012-03-01,369793,Silvia,Extended our stay since Chris's place was such a great location.
304808,1000881,2012-03-14,1871917,Vasan,"Chris was very polite, helpful, and accommodating.
Enjoyed my stay here. Very clean and comfy place.
Highly recommend it."
304808,1022755,2012-03-20,725410,Robin,i had a great week at Chris' place and it worked out perfect for me.  thanks!
304808,1079209,2012-04-03,1904594,Le,Chris is great!  He was helpful and incredibly accommodating.  We felt quite comfortable staying there and had a wonderful trip.  His place is in a great location too!   We avoided renting a car for a trip and was able to get around easily either by foot or bus.
304808,1102685,2012-04-09,1858720,Jared,It was fairly easy to find and the location was great!  The room and bathroom were beautifully done and it was very private and accessible.  
304808,1122132,2012-04-13,1230245,Juan,"We spent a couple of days in Chris' place. I didn't get to meet Chris, but he stayed in contact prior to our arrival which made the arrival process extremely easy. This is a great location, only a 5 minute drive from 6th street, and with lots of restaurants with great reviews nearby. The private room and bath was comfortable and clean. The shower was great, basic toiletries were provided, and the girlfriend considered the hair dryer in the bathroom a big plus. "
304808,1140625,2012-04-16,2111224,Janet,"Room and amenities were exactly as described. The location was very convenient, especially since we had a car. 5-10 minute drive from East Austin nightlife, but the neighborhood itself was quiet [which was nice for late-morning sleeping in].

All in all, a great experience."
304808,1179631,2012-04-25,2074138,Jason,We had a great stay.  Excellent location and very easy pleasant place to stay.
304808,1208918,2012-05-01,1514285,Nakia,"The accommodation was AMAZING! The room is so lovely, with a large wardrobe, super comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom. Chris was fantastic, so welcoming and helpful! Walking distance from the house are restaurants and to get a ride into the centre of town will only cost you a small cab fare. I HIGHLY recommend staying at this accommodation you are guaranteed a luxury stay, I will definitively be recommending to friends and family heading to Austin and will book again when I am back in town. Thanks Chris for a very lovely stay and all your amazing help."
304808,1265379,2012-05-12,1730970,Abi,"Chris was welcoming and friendly, the room was comfortable, and the location was perfect for us - a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk (or a $6 cab ride) to downtown and all the nightlife."
304808,1418957,2012-06-05,1916209,Kevin,The place was very clean and the aircon in the room was a blessing. The house is only a 15 dollar taxi from 6th street. We had a great time in Austin and would recommend it especially over the weekend. There isn't a small fridge though which would have been nice
304808,1473265,2012-06-13,350286,Anthony,Chris' house is great and the private room you get access to is brilliant. The setup is just what I needed out of my mid trip stop. He even helped me at 2am on the first night with a door issue (that was my fault completely). 
304808,1510641,2012-06-18,2573693,Madeline,"We had a great time at Chris's Spanish Hacienda. It was incredibly convenient, there was abundant street parking, and we were very centrally located. The accommodations were comfortable, clean and private. 

Would stay there again!"
304808,1909643,2012-08-06,2545720,Lucy,"Fantastic property - the comfiest bed I have slept in in a long time, great bathroom with a good shower and the place is really nicely decorated too. So much nicer than any hotel room. Great location; totally walkable to downtown. Having the key for private access is good too as we could just do our own thing without worrying about disturbing Chris. 
As a host Chris is great - really friendly and chilled. 

Would recommend this property to everyone!!!"
304808,2039525,2012-08-20,2801595,Matt,"Chris' place is set up really well to allow you to have your own space and privacy, if you so wish. The place was like a hotel room - nice and clean and comfortable. Having a separate door so that you could come and go as you like without disturbing anyone (except maybe the dogs ;) ) is great.
15-20 min walk to the city, or close to a number of buses. Recommend."
304808,2131363,2012-08-28,1924700,James,"Chris helped us out at 8pm on a Friday when our accommodation fell through. A lifesaver to say the least.

The room was excellent as well and felt like our own place.

Thanks so much for having us."
304808,2399096,2012-09-24,1351314,Brett,"This location is perfect for anyone interested in downtown Austin, The University of Texas, or just hanging out in Austin.  The room was nice and clean, very comfortable bed, and helpful tourist information was available.  Thanks Chris, enjoyed my stay.  Just might see you again soon!  Brett"
304808,2775838,2012-11-01,3174519,Laura,"We stayed with Chris for a month and he was a wonderful host.  The room was cozy and the neighborhood has a lot of fun perks and amazing food! 
"
304808,2811486,2012-11-05,2019540,Georgia,"Chris was a very friendly and helpful host. As the room has its own entrance and bathroom, you are mostly allowed complete privacy, although Chris welcomes visits and chats should you feel like it. The room itself is very comfortable and well-furnished. The location is a decent walk away from downtown and campus, not far from the airport shuttle and a short distance away from the very fun and charming East Austin strip. "
304808,2970333,2012-11-26,840629,Hannah,"Chris was an excellent host! We stayed in his place for only a few days right after Thanksgiving. It is a great location in relation to downtown. While the neighborhood has some of its own great shops and restaurants, the proximity to downtown and the ease/cheap cost of taking a cab or walking makes this place an excellent location. "
304808,3234008,2013-01-02,973418,Valerie And Dan,"Clean, independent room with its own bathroom. if you are looking for more a hotel experience, this is for you. Chris was friendly and easy going. It was nice to be able to come in and out without disturbing the whole household. The house is close to everything by bike. If you are going for a walk, head towards town, the neighborhood to the east is less desirable. "
304808,3389989,2013-01-21,2260988,Christina,"Cab Close to DT, check in & check out flexible due to key box, perfect space for a quick visit!"
304808,3913985,2013-03-26,5389214,Juan Carlos,Went to Austin for the NCAA tourney and had a great time staying here. Chris was a great host and the spot is so conveniently close to Downtown/Campus area. I will recommend this place to friends who are visiting Austin.
304808,3988583,2013-04-01,5490223,Mia,"We had a wonderful time in Austin. The room is for one or two, very clean and private with a separate entrance. Chris was very responsive and nice during booking. Everything went well and smoothly during our stay. The location is great we actually biked to downtown and to the lady bird trail where you can go running or kayaking and took about 15-20 minutes bike ride, a cab downtown is less than $10, also there are shops on east side as well, that you can walk to, so you have lots of options. Have fun!"
304808,4108439,2013-04-10,5334015,William,"Safe, secure, and private. No compliants, hope he will have us next year. Nuff said, thank-you Chris. William&Jeannine."
304808,4386644,2013-05-01,5589227,Thomas,"My girlfriend and I stayed for three nights. The room is more like a separate apartment, so we only met Chris briefly. The room was quiet and comfortable. We had great days in Austin. The location is convenient; downtown is in walking distance and the bus stop is close. Also the neighborhood was nice. We recommend to stay with Chris. "
304808,4587770,2013-05-13,3768386,Anna Gabriela,"This is a 5stars hotel! You have your own entrance and everything is perfect. You even find in a drawer all the maps and tips about the city. Chris has a special list with the best places to go, from coffee shop to restaurants. "
304808,4845746,2013-05-28,2909204,Amie,"this review is only for the guest bedroom/bathroom section of the house which my friend & i rented during our 4 day/3 night stay in austin over memorial day weekend. 
it was just as shown in the photos, the condition was great and chris was very responsive to our needs if we had questions. we planned to be out of the house most of the time, but unexpected rain ruined some of our plans to be outdoors. in retrospect it would've been nice to have a place with a tv, but if you're here just to sleep - by all means, this is perfect. 
the entry to this place is around the side of the house, which was good so we never felt like we were disturbing chris in the bigger part of the house. it was also SUPER convenient to everything we needed... if we could've (damn rain) biked to the downtown area we totally would have. would definitely stay another time!"
304808,4937947,2013-06-03,5781206,Adrian,"Chris is an amenable guy and very helpful with local info. A list of all the most useful things you could want is there to hand. I liked the independence of being able to come and go as I pleased, using the separate side door. 

The wifi was fast and a real bonus!

Decor and fittings are to a high standard, a very small refridgerator would have been nice too, but hardly essential. 

The location is GREAT, just a $7 taxi ride to the center of town.

Highly recommended!"
304808,4986629,2013-06-05,5063292,Janae,"The place was clean, easy to find, and very well located for anyone who wants to spend time downtown and south congress area. Access to I 35 is close as well, so getting most anywhere in Austin is quite easy. 
There was a separate entrance, which made our comings and goings very unproblematic. Chris was quite easy going. "
304808,5106806,2013-06-12,755611,Glenn,"Chris was a good host.  His house is only about a mile from the Capitol building.  You get your own apartment, with your own air conditioning controls.  I would definitely stay there again when in Austin."
304808,5322332,2013-06-24,1571763,Sergi,"I spent great days in Austin thanks to the comfortable room Chris offers. I could easily go back and forth to downtown by bus or by walking. The room was very convenient with AC that really helped me to pass some hours of high temperature. It was clean and is wide enough to feel comfortable if you want to stay several days.

Chris was helpful. He kindly lets you to take your own space -the room is separated from the main place.

I definitely recommend to stay at Chris' "
304808,5490605,2013-07-02,4722966,Kit,"Great spot! Chris' place is very comfortable, well maintained, and in a great location close to downtown Austin. During my week staying with him, he was a helpful host that ensured that I had everything I needed and then allowed me space as his guest. I strongly recommend staying with him if your looking for a nice place close to Austin. "
304808,5975074,2013-07-24,7484703,Benj,"Great little space, really conveniently located. Had a nice time in Austin staying at Chris' space. I highly recommend it. Thanks again!"
304808,6094172,2013-07-29,7552679,Amanda,Great experience. The room is very private and secure with everything you need. Chris gave me clear instructions on how to enter the room before my stay. Also a great location to everything Austin. A cab to 6th street was only $10! Would definitely stay here again if in Austin. 
304808,6549333,2013-08-16,8084947,Lauren,"Our stay at the Spanish Hacienda was wonderful! The room is extremely private, feels like your own little studio! Everything was very clean and seemed newly remodeled.. and the bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept in in a long time. Thank you, Chris!!"
304808,7913335,2013-10-08,6872325,Tim,"Chris is a great host.
Accomodation was in a great part of town with plenty of privacy.

"
304808,8037371,2013-10-14,94373,Amy,"Had a great stay here! The room was perfect for what we needed, the bed was super-comfy, and having our own thermostat was AWESOME after a day in the sticky heat at ACL. Everything was clean and neat and the drawer full of helpful stuff (menus, brochures, a bottle opener, etc.) came in very handy. Will definitely keep this place in mind for the next trip to Austin!"
304808,8543273,2013-11-04,9560710,Marek,I spent 3 hectic days in Austin in the first weekend in November. The location was perfect - within a 30 minute walk of both downtown and UT. Accomodation is spacious with a full bathroom and its own entrance which comes in useful as nobody goes home early in Austin. Chris provides information and is around should you need him. Will definitely stay here again if I make it back to Austin.
304808,8634817,2013-11-09,1444601,Matthew,"Chris's place was great -- private, comfy, and independent. The apartment is attached to the house, but acts as its own unit w/ a private door, allowing me to come and go as I pleased. Check-in/check-out was easy and self-sufficient.

The apt is near the highway, downtown is a quick drive by car, and there's some great food several blocks away. It was perfect for my brief stay in Austin."
304808,8967509,2013-11-29,5008038,Jessica,"The room is accessible without going through the main house and is very private, almost like your own little place. Met chris a couple of times and is very friendly but he gives you 100% privacy which we really appreciated. Cabs are cheap to get downtown so location is good! We enjoyed our stay :) "
304808,9663833,2014-01-04,2855081,Heather,We had a great experience at Chris' place. It was a very private room. Arrival/departure and access to the room were easy. His place was convenient to downtown (20-30 min walk to heart of 6th) and a few blocks from a nice area w/convenient store & few restaurants & bars on E 11th. Bed and bath were clean and nice and a nice touch to have a hair dryer:) Thanks Chris! 
304808,9878689,2014-01-16,1918133,Ville,"Nothing, but good things to say. Quiet place with full privacy, but still only few blocks away from 11th for some bars and restaurants. Downtown, UT and 6th St are all walkable as well. A great and very helpful host too with good communication. Thanks Chris for a great stay in Austin!"
304808,9940104,2014-01-20,10237624,Jason,"The room, bathroom and bed are very nice and the location is great, only a mile to mile and a half from downtown. "
304808,10293625,2014-02-11,897537,Samuel,Chris was a great host. He let me use the laundry machines and refrigerator even though I was a short term guest. The room is just as described - clean and comfortable. The property is in a good location for getting to downtown or UT campus by foot (20-25 minutes) or bus (5-10 minutes). I would highly recommend this property to all AirBnB'ers headed to Austin!
304808,10377564,2014-02-17,8778578,Veronica,"My colleague and I rented Chris' place for a conference we were attending in February.  We both really enjoyed our experience and loved Chris' place.  The space was exactly as described, clean, comfortable and in a great location. It is only a short walk (or very inexpensive cab ride) to the the Capitol and downtown, E 6th St and lots of other great amenities.  It is also conveniently located near major bus routes.  We met Chris only very briefly but he was extremely friendly. Chris gives you your privacy so you really do feel like you're staying in your own private hotel.  That being said, Chris' communication was always quick and extremely helpful. 

If I find myself travelling to Austin again in the near future, I will certainly be looking to see if this place is available again. My experience sold me on the idea that Airbnb > hotels."
304808,10532184,2014-02-24,11091381,Karen,Chris' place was great! We would definitely stay here again. Very clean and super comfy bed!!
304808,10900232,2014-03-12,10441584,Jenny,"A clean, conveniently located room with a separate entrance just a mile and a half from downtown. Lots of towels, toiletries and space to relax. I only met Chris once briefly and he was perfectly friendly and attentive via text. Only caveats are the one window is blocked by a carport so you don't get much natural light or air if you want it, and some sound travels through the walls. Otherwise a very pleasant stay! "
304808,10997497,2014-03-17,1269943,Colin,"Wonderful place to stay in Austin! It's private (own keyed entrance) and very central to all Austin has to offer. Easy bike ride to both downtown and east austin area. Right near Franklin Barbecue. Would definitely recommend booking this place if you intend to spend all your time exploring Austin, and just simply need a home base for the evening. Bed was comfortable, room and bathroom were clean, and very quiet nights. While we didn't get a chance to meet Chris in person (too much to do!) he was very friendly and attentive through the Airbnb message system. Highly recommend the Spanish Hacienda! "
304808,11139343,2014-03-22,13112631,Ethan,"Pos: Clean room. Big, comfortable bed. Very quiet/private. 

Neg: A little far from downtown Austin/the University. 
"
304808,11203438,2014-03-24,10184535,Wesley,"I enjoyed my stay here. The bed was comfortable, room was clean and you get your own private entrance  to come and go as you please. Location is literally 5 minutes (driving time) away from downtown  and you have an endless amount of shops in the area to pick from.  Chris makes you feel welcome and sets up everything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. "
304808,11272447,2014-03-27,13324477,Emma,"We stayed in the Spanish Hacienda for 2 nights this March. We found it to be a great place to crash after a long day of driving, and again after a long day of exploring Austin. This place was clean, smelled good, and had an awesome shower. We also made use of the maps/recommendation drawer that Chris has compiled. Another highlight was the private entrance, which made coming and going very simple. We'd definitely recommend it!"
304808,11460179,2014-04-03,2245960,Chris,"The hacienda was exactly as described. The blue dahlia was a 10 min walk and probably one of the best restaurants  I have eaten at in a while. The chicken salad and bread pudding were out of this world. I had events at the Sheraton Austin capital and it was a 12 min walk. The capital just a few more. It's an easy 20 min walk to 6th street. I did it 4 nights in a row with no issues. The wifi is super fast, bed more comfortable than mine, amazing AC, and great hot water and whole place was clean. What was great is chris responded nearly instantly when communicating. A great place to stay!"
304808,11589327,2014-04-08,2449028,Jessica,We absolutely enjoyed our stay in Austin at Chris's Hacienda. The room was clean and very private which allowed us to come and go as freely as we wished! The location was perfect for our many visits to downtown and 6th st and could easily be reached by walking. Chris was a great host and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend his place for anyone visiting the city. 
304808,12141336,2014-04-23,14469743,Bernadette (And Brian),"Location extremely convenient to East Downtown restaurants, walking distance to downtown!! Room was comfortable and just what we were looking for :)"
304808,13423565,2014-05-27,9390655,Vinci,Room as described. Chris is very organized and communication was excellent. Didn't get the chance to meet Chris because our trip was short and tried to do as much site seeing as possible but instructions were clearly communicated. Great location. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others!
304808,14077555,2014-06-11,10125514,Kevin,Chris has a perfect place to stay if you want to experience Austin. He is a great host and I already am thinking about when I can go back to visit. 
304808,15317043,2014-07-07,15108330,Marshall,Great place that was perfect size for what I needed at the end of the day exploring Austin. Great location that was very convenient to get to downtown in just a couple minutes. Felt very safe and secure and the place was very clean. Great communication. Will definitely stay here again the next I'm in Austin. 
304808,16826576,2014-08-03,14467909,Tina,"This room looks so much better in person. It was very private and I rarely heard anything from the house. This room was the ultimate in clean, so much better than rooms I have spent 3 x as much. Chris was always quick to respond to messages. I walked downtown everyday, which was a pleasant distance even for me.  Very pleased spent my week (website hidden) conditioning was perfect.     Tina"
304808,19805971,2014-09-18,3074629,Lorélie,"We had a nice stay at chris's place. The room is totally independant from the rest of the house, with its own bathroom and  back door, so we could come and go as we wanted.
We just met Chris to say Hi, he seems very respectful of our privacy.
The place is comfortable and very clean. It´s at a walking distance from downton, and from the food trucks!"
304808,19966314,2014-09-21,2741358,Lucian,"Chris' room was extremely nice and clean - like a hotel room! Because there's a separate entrance, it also offers plenty of privacy which I didn't really need. It was easy to get to the major thoroughfares from the house and the neighborhood is quiet. I'll definitely consider staying here again when I'm in Austin."
304808,20250786,2014-09-26,21123193,Rebecca,"Although we never met Chris, we were still made to feel welcome and comfortable in the accommodation. "
304808,20387714,2014-09-28,16052849,Michelle,"Chris was super nice :) even when I locked myself out of the house at 7:45 am on a sunday. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was great. Super close to downtown,  1 mile, and right by the university. The neighborhood was great and super cute as well. I walked in the evening to eat at places super close by and never worried about a thing.  I would recommend anyone stay there!"
304808,20734612,2014-10-05,15131212,Audi,"Although we never had a chance to meet Chris, his guest house was extremely well kept and clean! The bathroom has nice fixtures and excellent water pressure (a very important thing to me"
304808,21009070,2014-10-09,21778609,Anthony,"Had a great stay, a lot of privacy and zero problems. Very close to downtown, I was there for half a week and walking or busing around was extremely convenient. 

Wifi, shower, AC were all great."
304808,21119337,2014-10-12,14674934,Jasmine,"Location was great! Walkable to downtown, close ride to ACL and overall cute neighborhood. Chris was flexible with check in and provided useful tips for local dining. Best part--complete privacy for nights when we got in late and mornings for sleeping in. We didn't get to meet Chris because we were so busy but we truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!"
304808,21517030,2014-10-19,20786026,Jimmie,"Fantastic location and Chris was so communicative. Very lucky on my first airbnb ever! 

Great spot,  safe with a lovely neighbourhood feel. Texmex family BBQ's across the street!!! 

Room very clean and comfortable, great after a 48 hour train ride. 

I will be back in Austin, and probably at Chris's!!!!!"
304808,21751490,2014-10-23,7292114,Mary And Joseph,"This was a well located and self contained place in Austin. Everything was very clean and spacious. The area is quiet and we either walked, took the bus or used Car2Go to make our way back and forth downtown. The area itself has lots of good places to eat or pick up essentials as well. Since you have your own entrance and key, this place really suites those who want privacy as well as convenience. "
304808,21956756,2014-10-27,19599336,Angela,This was a great place to stay.  The rooms are beautiful and comfortable.  Great distance from the action of Austin.  Chris was very respectful and a great communicator.  Definitely recommend staying there.
304808,22355825,2014-11-04,2656034,Saphia,"A great stay! Echoing many other reviews, the private room at Chris place is very much like your own hotel room, v comfortable and clean, totally free to come and go as you want with the separate entrance and private bathroom. It worked out really well for us and we'd highly recommend for a stay in Austin. We walked everywhere and the local neighbourhood is fantastic; great food, bars and cafes."
304808,22691732,2014-11-12,16911849,Maxi,"Easy contact with Chris, always immediate feedback. We landed in Austin at midnight and could indipendently access to the room thanks to a stored key and clear instructions. The room and bathroom were equipped with all the necessary things, even found two water bottles which we really appreciated. Complete privacy."
304808,22946288,2014-11-18,8421950,Jorge,"This was a great place to stay. Chris was a great communicator and we had no troubles at all. The room was clean and there was tons of privacy. The location is perfect, walking distance from downtown and a good central location to drive from.

Would highly reccomend this place to anyone looking for nice quiet place to stay amongst the hustle and bustle of Austin."
304808,23051253,2014-11-21,15877536,Vanessa,Chris was a great host and his room was just as described and not too far from downtown. I came to Austin from abroad and he even let me ship things I bought online to his address. I would totally stay at his place again. 
304808,23893126,2014-12-14,15499483,Wei-Ho,"A very nice place. I didn't get to meet with the host, but everything is arranged perfectly. The bathroom is clean. The location is quiet. A very good place for vacation and rest. The bed and everything is comfortable. It takes about 20 minutes by walking from Austin downtown. Can be reached by bus #6. Overall, highly recommend."
304808,24740370,2015-01-02,172922,Eric,"Everything was great in Chris's separate private room.  It was just like being in a hotel with a private bathroom and AC/heat control.  The location was excellent, and if it wasn't freezing and moist out, we could have walked everywhere (east 6th bars, downtown, etc.) with no problem.  We briefly met Chris and he was very nice and lent us his wine bottle opener.  I would definitely consider staying here again next time I come to Austin!"
304808,26360025,2015-02-10,9911782,Tamara & Chris,"Chris's place was super comfy, clean, and convenient. We had plenty of privacy and the neighborhood was safe and fun. Close to downtown, but also walking distance from neighborhood eats. Also, that bed is probably the most comfortable I've slept on in my life! Strong wifi and cute dogs too. All in all an excellent experience. Chris is a great and friendly host."
304808,26607418,2015-02-16,8353883,Robb,Everything was perfect. Clean and neat and quiet. Very convenient to everything we wanted to see and parking was always easy. 
304808,26924564,2015-02-22,14327341,Mary,"The room was just as described, very clean and private. It essentially felt like we had our own hotel room! We loved the neighborhood. It was quiet and I felt safe parking my car the street. It was close enough to walk down to 6th street to check the bar scene. Also close to some really great restaurants. Chris was a great host, he had very clear detailed instructions for our arrival and was flexible with our check out time. I would recommend this place to friends and plan to stay again when I come back to Austin!"
304808,27282942,2015-03-01,27563231,Phillip,"Chris' room was hospitable and in good order if a bit small. His directions on getting into the room were concise and correct, and we had no issues. The bed was a bit more stiff than I would prefer but it did not present a problem. It is in a good location and while not within walking distance of too much, it is a very short car ride to just about everything. We enjoyed the private entrance and the climate control for the room. Everything was clean and fashionable. I would recommend this room for those looking for an inexpensive place to crash, but still want the seclusion of a hotel style room."
304808,27382602,2015-03-02,15977827,Joanne,The reservation was canceled 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
304808,27490436,2015-03-06,23344201,Samuel,Description very accurate had our own entrance to come and go as we pleased. 
304808,27590960,2015-03-08,1037527,Judith,"I forgot to contact Chris until the very afternoon we arrived to arrange the check in details but luckily he responded to my text immediately! Everything looks exactly like it does in the pictures, there is a separate entrance to the bedroom and a private bathroom which is very convenient. Thank Chris, would stay here again if I come back to Austin. "
304808,27797918,2015-03-12,26874029,Stacy & Scott,"The place was perfect! Very quiet, only a few minutes from downtown, comfortable bed, and very clean. Throughout the process Chris responded to everything immediately. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone else traveling to Austin!"
304808,28428616,2015-03-23,26095232,Yen,"What a great place to stay! Chris was extremely friendly and very accommodating. He truly respects your privacy and finds little need to check on you as a guest. He was always ready to answer any questions immediately with friendliness and hospitality! Other than the door being stuck all the time, the showers bed a/c was clean and comfortable! I will love to come back again!"
304808,28696977,2015-03-29,3608135,Mark,"nice clean room. lots of privacy with side entrance to room. Chris was kind and accommodating. the location is nicely just outside of downtown, and 4 blocks from cool little restaurants and yoga studio, food trailers, local market etc."
304808,29968287,2015-04-15,2529472,Casey,"We had an excellent experience with Chris and his very convenient accommodation. It was exactly as described, a room and private bath with its own separate entrance. It is a part of Chris' house, though it feels like a totally separate accommodation. It was clean and comfortable. 

The location is excellent for exploring Austin, about a mile from the downtown area. We mostly used Uber/Lyft to get around, which was a breeze and inexpensive, though I walked downtown a couple times as well.

Chris was very responsive whenever we contacted him leading up to our stay. He obviously has this down to a science. He has it organized so that there is really no need to interact with him in person, though he pointedly welcomes that if you need or want it. 

We spent six days here and our only regret is that we did not have more time to spend in Austin. When we come back we will try to stay here again."
304808,30225609,2015-04-19,22699575,Ian,"This is a great spot to stay while visiting Austin. Chris is SUPER organized and accessible, and provided great resources for folks who are new to the area. The room is clean and exactly as advertised. I would absolutely stay here again when visiting Austin. "
304808,30866611,2015-04-28,1692011,Rose,"Great location and a comfortable, private space. The place is exactly as described and Chris was very polite and responsive."
304808,31324497,2015-05-04,29764418,Todd,"Absolutely fantastic spot to stay. Everything was as described. Chris was accessible and made the space super comfortable for guests. You are able to adjust AC for just that room. Come and go as you please. Reminded us of a nice hotel room- small table, large raised bed, dresser, closet and your own bathroom. Definitely staying there again!"
304808,32606008,2015-05-19,12365551,Daine,"Chris had everything ready for us when we arrived and there were two detailed pages of notes which described everything, form the wifi password to local restaurants & transport options etc..

The room was exactly as described. Spacious and it had everything I needed.

The location was good as well, it was just a short ride from downtown which cost around $5-8 with Lyft (7 mins to get to downtown). Or 3 min walk from the bus stop which cost 1.25 (15 mins to get to downtown)

Overall I had a great experience and although I did not get to meet Chris in person (only because my schedule was so busy, and I was only there for a few days) he was just a phone call away and was very helpful.

I would highly recommend staying here and I will defiantly stay again when I am back in Austin!!"
304808,33887067,2015-06-01,2536896,Stephen,"Chris was great, accepting my request literally 12 hours before I arrived.  I was literally about to stay at a motel, which would have made my trip a bummer.  

Chris' room, with a side entrance, was perfect.  After treacherous day of traveling, his home was inviting and relaxing.  It's located in East Austin, the only place to stay in town, as it's the Brooklyn of the city and close to downtown and the freeway.  

It was quiet and offered me a great landing spot for my house search in town.  I would recommend a stay here to anyone wanting to see the real Austin. "
304808,39783296,2015-07-26,35826562,Nori,"Our stay was fantastic. The location was perfect, the room and bathroom were clean and private. We had a lovely time."
304808,42715219,2015-08-15,38082399,Mike,"All around perfect. It was my first Air bnb experience so I didn't know what to expect, but Chris made everything extremely comfortable. The room itself was very clean. Bathroom and shower as well. Although we didn't have the chance to meet Chris he had helpful information printed out from a locals perspective. 

Would absolutely recommend Chris's guest room, as well as stay here again.  "
304808,47809601,2015-09-21,43432202,Michele,"We had a really positive experience with Chris! He was very kind and accommodating with our travel schedule. The room we rented was clean and well kept. It was perfect for what we needed since we were on the go for the weekend, we really needed a place to change, refresh, and sleep. There were restaurants within walking distance and it was very close to the UT campus as well as downtown Austin. My husband and I would like stay with Chris again the next time we are in Austin. "
304808,49299829,2015-10-02,9079608,Cristina,"It was a great location, the place was clean, and bed was comfortable. We booked it the day before and arrived late. Chris was super flexible about everything. We would stay here again. "
304808,49588018,2015-10-05,13705397,Miguel,"The place is great. Is an independent room with private bath. Really clean and it looks like new. The places offer real privacy.

Is really close to downtown.

I will really go back with Chris any time."
304808,50267047,2015-10-11,32667389,Courtney,Everything was great from check in to check out. Both the bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfy. Felt like home rather than a hotel. We would definitely stay here again. 
1287283,5951164,2013-07-23,1719265,Jacob,"Randall's house is awesome! We stayed for one night to celebrate my wife's birthday and we had a great time. The view was incredible, the elevator was fun, and the private pool really made the stay wonderful. We also appreciated all the comfy beds, the washer and dryer, and the full kitchen. We can't wait to stay there again! "
1287283,7337926,2013-09-16,4348605,Tyler,"Fantastic place!  We really enjoyed cooking out on the porch and using the beautiful pool.  The sunsets and view were pretty great too.  The unit is attached to the owner's home, and initially we were a bit concerned about this.  We didn't want to disturb anyone with our potentially noisy group.  However, they were great about giving us our privacy and allowing us to play music and swim late into the evening.  As promised, we never even knew they were there.  I would absolutely recommend this beautiful place, we all enjoyed it tremendously.  "
1287283,11010489,2014-03-17,7645426,Timala,This is a magnificent home. It is spacious and quiet. The owners were very patient with our group. The home is beautifully decorated and well stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Pool and view was very impressive.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
1287283,18511513,2014-08-27,7233959,Sam,Another fantastic experience through TurnKey!!
1287283,19511459,2014-09-14,12429403,Liesl,Everything was AMAZING. First everyone at the rental company was extremely kind and so helpful! I love that they do everything via text and emails. Just an uncomplicated way of going about things. The property is mind blowing beautiful. I cannot wait to return here. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner...and was so kind and true gentleman. The interior of the is fabulous too! It was everything we expected and much much more! Thank you so much!!!
1287283,22179406,2014-11-01,17722558,Ann,"Fantastic views, lovely spacious house, great pool. Quiet neighborhood, house well stocked with essentials. Invasion of privacy by constant emails and unannounced intrusions appalling and very off-putting. A personal visit from the owner would have been much appreciated if there were any questions. That way,we would have felt welcome in the property instead of feeling like our every move was being watched."
1287283,22520362,2014-11-09,19848631,Kevin,This was place was perfect for out trip. Great layout w/ a beautiful view.

1287283,25493359,2015-01-18,22664131,Daniel,"Everything was ready for my group as soon as we arrived. It was very easy to contact the hosts. The description and pictures posted accurately depict the location. The location of the house is in a prime spot, close to many of Austin's attractions. Would highly recommend."
1287283,25738994,2015-01-25,2582844,Kannan,Excellent place! My family loved it! It was very private and the locality is amazing! Panoramic lush mountain view from the living room. Highly recommend!
1287283,26909255,2015-02-22,24794944,Laura,"Beautiful, comfortable house. Very clean and quiet. Amazing views. "
1287283,27939663,2015-03-15,27537881,Keah,"This home was amazing! The pictures don't do it justice. All of the guest in my party were very impressed and pleased with the accommodations; even though it was a bit chilly outside that did not stop anyone from lounging by the pool and just relaxing.  Oh and what I loved; they stated no glassware by the pool at all so the owners provided plastic wine glasses and martini glasses and plastic tumbles...how cool is that because lets face it who want to drink their wine out of the solo cup.

The home had everything you could need, plenty of towels, sleeping space, blankets, pillows, and even toiletries you may have forgotten.  And the kitchen OMG lets just say it was easy for us to make ourselves at home there.  It had everything you could need to prepare any and every dish and the biggest plus was the gas grill.

The home was extremely clean and welcoming.  We are planning another girls weekend away for next year just so we can stay here again.  The sunset view from the balcony was breathtaking and the neighborhood was very peaceful and picturesque. 

My only warning is if you are claustrophobic the elevator might be a bit of a challenge...

Overall I couldn't be more satisfied with our stay here. And Turnkey was excellent with their communication and providing plenty of information about the home and the area. "
1287283,32311782,2015-05-17,5185303,Rebecca,"This was a wonderful house with an amazing view! The pool was wonderful, the kitchen had everything that we could possibly need. We had a great girls weekend and I would reccomend this location to anyone!"
1287283,33647304,2015-05-31,26556708,Sarah,We had an absolutely amazing weekend! We loved the pool and the house was perfect for our girls weekend. 
1287283,46695182,2015-09-13,13322085,Malini,This was a perfect place for a girls weekend. We had so much fun in the pool and the place was so clean and comfortable.  The view is amazing and we loved the sunsets! Thanks for everything.  
1287283,51262983,2015-10-19,28920954,Katie,Wonderful! Perfect!!
1287283,52816560,2015-11-02,31592772,Jennifer,"This was a great house and perfect for our time away!  Everything was very clean and kept nicely and the kitchen was really great.  My only complaint is that the set-up of downstairs bedroom was not fully explained or pictured.  This bedroom is completely separate from the upstairs.  There is nothing else on that level except the entrance and then another gate that leads into the adjoining house which was very strange.  Based on this setup nobody used the downstairs bedroom and we ended up all sleeping upstairs (one of us on the couch).  I think this was misleading in the way it was described.  There is no picture that shows the entrance and elevator in relation to the bedroom.  Also, the pool is not heated and it is ice cold so we couldn't enjoy that feature of the house since the temperature was only in the low 70's.  Aside from these two things our stay was great and I would recommend this villa.  You definitely need a car to get around.  Lastly, we had an issue with the air conditioning and we called Turnkey Rentals and they fixed the issue right away.  They were excellent with their communication."

6301697,35178899,2015-06-15,30504071,Alex,"Our stay in Rachel's home was perfect. The house itself is adorable, modern and very comfortable. Its location is great for anyone wanting to explore awesome restaurants and bars in East Austin AND its only minutes away from Downtown!

Rachel was very quick to respond to any question or request we had. I would definitely stay here again, no question."
6301697,35884019,2015-06-22,1904678,Tim,Place was great - loved it!  
6301697,37361231,2015-07-06,30492915,Seeta,"Rachel was an excellent host and welcomed us even before we arrived.  She was easily accessible through text message when I had questions about arriving and stayed in touch so she could ensure the house was ready for us when we arrived.  The home itself is so cute.  It is well decorated (exactly like the pictures) and very comfortable.  It is pretty small, so if 4 really is the maximum that can stay here.  The location is walking distance from some bars and restaurants and cab rides to anything else were between 4 and 6 dollars.  Rachel was responsive to any concern that arose throughout the weekend and was extremely generous with her time.  We'd definitely come back!  "
6301697,38624030,2015-07-17,46063,Monte,Great brand new place in an excellent east side location. Upstairs downstairs worked great for our family. Very clean. Rachel was responsive to our questions. Washer & dryer helpful for extended stay.
6301697,39553517,2015-07-24,28839682,Kensey,"Great little home on the east side of downtown Austin. We would definitely stay there again and will recommend to friends. Rachel has done a great job making it a beautiful and relaxing environment. And even though she was out of the country while we visited she made sure we were all taken care of and had someone to contact if we needed anything! 

I also love all the appliances in the home! A+"
6301697,39987727,2015-07-27,37621118,Taylor,Great space in a convenient location. Worked perfectly for two couples. Rachel made everything simple and easy. Would definitely stay again!
6301697,41130826,2015-08-04,38603610,Elizabeth,"Rachel was a fantastic host during our trip to Austin. She welcomed us and made it clear that if we needed anything at all, we could reach out to her.  We ended up having a minor problem at 10 PM on a Sunday night and when we called her, she picked up the phone immediately and walked us through the problem. 
The house itself was very cute and comfortable and definitely worth the price when compared to your average hotel room. "
6301697,42138387,2015-08-11,771659,Ikey & Yony,"Loved our stay here! We spent a long weekend in Austin during August, and coming back from the heat to the chill and clean space was fantastic. The condo is very private and quiet, super clean and organized (just like in the pictures) and is perfect for two couples. It felt like a hotel room more than an Airbnb flat. :) Brand new washer and dryer, comfy beds, equipped kitchen and excellent AC and ceiling vents to keep the heat away. Finally, Rachel was super nice and responsive and gave us a warm welcome. Can't wait to go back to this cool city and stay there again! 
"
6301697,44176912,2015-08-24,28163433,Stefanie,Rachel was a great host and responsive to requests.  Her place was clean and conveniently located between airport and downtown.  We are looking forward to our next visit to Austin!
6301697,45954441,2015-09-07,33914429,Kersta,"Rachel was a great host! Booking and confirmation was simple. I was planning a bachelorette and she immediately answered any questions I had. Checking in was a breeze and the location is awesome for access to 6th St, Rainey St and Whole foods. It being a girls weekend I wanted a place that was super clean and comfortable. This place was all of that and decorated so nicely for hosting a party with girls. I highly recommend Rachel and her place!!!"
6301697,48726334,2015-09-28,41627849,Elizabeth,"Great stay in Austin. Access to the house was very easy. House was very clean. Plentiful parking in the driveway and on the street. Loved the neighborhood, several great restaurants in walking distance, as well as a grocery store (HEB). Rachel was very responsive,timely answering my questions before and during our stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great sizes and having one upstairs and downstairs kept it from feeling crowded. One heads up - the living area is pretty small, so it was a bit tight when we were hanging out before heading out. We wanted to be out and about exploring so it was not a big issue. Overall great experience at the house."
6301697,51124209,2015-10-18,9406017,Melissa,"Our 5-day stay at Rachel’s place was great! The house itself is very clean and modern, and the dual-zone AC handled the Texas heat with ease. The neighborhood is very much in transition, and the homeless population definitely extends past downtown into the area, but at no point did we feel unsafe. We rented a car, and access to downtown was never more than 15 minutes away. By the second day we were already calling this place home, and would happily recommend it to our friends, family, and future guests. Rachel’s place gave us the convenience and ease-of-mind to fully explore the city and thoroughly enjoy our trip. Thank you for the memories and hospitality! "
6301697,52046462,2015-10-26,38878573,Laura,"We had such a great stay and everything was as pictured. This house is very clean and tidy, it was perfect for the long weekend. The location is pretty close to everything in the city, highly recommend über for getting around. "

And I highly recommend Hay Elotes for Mexican shaved ice and ice cream - just three blocks away. Rachel was a great communicator, even as she was traveling abroad. Lovely spot to stay in Austin!"
6301697,53232693,2015-11-06,18941191,Jill,"This house is spotless and spacious!  It looks exactly like the photos and so does Rachel :) She was super friendly when we arrived, and after we got settled, and made sure we knew where to go for a good dinner.   This place has everything you need for your stay.  Its a 
modern and superbly decorated home!"

Went there for ACL, only 10mins drive to the drop off point to the Zilker. Felt really sweet and cozy to be back at the place after a long day at ACL. Highly recommended. Would love to come back next time in town!  "

The location is incredible, we basically didn't leave Manor St. Also, Lindsey was very pleasant to be in contact with. She was friendly and available, but not intrusive. The only negative I could find was that the bathroom was not the cleanest, but definitely not bad.

Thanks"
7227759,50679509,2015-10-13,37273679,Anne,Lindsey was an excellent host. The apartment was clean and was in a perfect location. We stayed here for weekend two of ACL. It was a short Uber/Lyft ride to Zilker. Lindsey was always easy to contact and very helpful. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin! 
356675,1014201,2012-03-18,90134,Juliette,"A midcentury oasis. This house kept myself and my other traveling companions sane during our extremely event filled visit to SXSW 2012. The house layout, furniture and amenities are to die for. Everything you need and more. It was hard to wake up each morning because it felt like I was sleeping on clouds. The backyard is perfect for stargazing. Truly a home away from home. Tracy was so kind. He constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. (He even sent over someone to keep the lawn tidy) I definitely plan on staying here again next year for SXSW.  "

1028269,8513916,2013-11-03,9650872,Martín,Andrea was an amazing host! She was so nice and she made sure that my stay was comfortable. She kept a stocked pantry for all of her guests. The room was also fantastic and cozy. 
1028269,11277717,2014-03-28,10466994,Sara,"I was very happy in andrea`s home. She is very kind and very frienly person. The house is really clean and ANdrea takes care her guess very very well. 
She and hr husband are great people. "
1028269,13453436,2014-05-27,15736108,Dustin,"Everything as expected. Nice, safe area. Clean, comfortable accommodations. Overwhelmingly nice hostess. I'll definitely be returning and recommending to friends. "
1028269,23034029,2014-11-21,21698157,Takaaki,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it was great. The high rating for Andrea's Zen Stay is well deserved. Extremely accommodating and flexible host. Andrea and her husband George are very kind and I loved my stay. 

Free UT shuttle service was the best.
Highly recommended!"
1028269,26043959,2015-02-02,23352597,Sonia,"Andrea is great. Her house is clean, quiet and nice.  She is an excellent person always willing to help you.  The ride to UT is very convenient. I would definetly stay with her again. "
1028269,28134651,2015-03-18,11459164,Stephanie,"Andrea's place is a welcoming, amazing community where I felt instantly at home. The Olive Garden room is spacious and comfortable, with a great desk, mini fridge, full bathroom and comfortable bed. Andrea and her husband George are wonderful people who go to great lengths to ensure their guests get to see Austin -- the car service is an incredible perk of staying here, especially during SXSW! I look forward to seeing Andrea and George again next year! "
1028269,28615484,2015-03-27,1919916,John,"The room is as described. Nice little bathroom attached as well, which was very clean. I like the rules that Andrea has listed, and I think it attracts people that you would like to stay there while you are there. There is always someone else there in the building, which can be helpful at times. It is a safe area, and I really liked that I could park right outside my window, even though I wasn't worried about that area. Andrea was very nice, and likes to please her guests. I will use this location again in the future."
1028269,50450083,2015-10-12,8337197,Michael,"This was my second time staying with Andrea, as my experience the first time was positive enough to warrant a return stay. I was in a different room this time, so I can now comfortably say whatever room you end up staying in, your experience will be quiet, comfortable, and personable. I required quite a bit of transportation this time, and Andrea is happy to accommodate each of your trips for a very low fare. Met her husband this time, and he's happy to do the same for you too!"
4815435,28435795,2015-03-23,27601803,Michael,Great stay this past SXSW!  Location was amazing and place was cute and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!!   Thanks again!!!
4815435,33163625,2015-05-25,33112236,Katie,"his was our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn’t have been better. Allison’s home was very 
welcoming and extremely clean. he listing description is spot-on! he neighborhood was perfect for our 
needs. here’s a plethora of restaurants and bars steps away from the apartment. We loved how 
convenient the location was to so many eateries! Unfortunately Barton Springs Pool was closed while 
we visited but we were able to drive down about half a mile to Zilker Park for a canoe ride to own Lake. 
It rained the last night of our visit so we were able to take advantage of her Netflix account. It was a very 
pleasant stay and I definitely recommend staying here! "
4815435,39850906,2015-07-26,19443197,Theresa,"Allison's place is seriously and really adorable, the ad really does not do it justice.  There are large gorgeous trees just outside the (email hidden)d her home is filled with great 70-80's antiques and funky artwork....and she put the A/C down super chilly for our arrival (it was in the high 90's with 50% humidity).  

And there are a ton of things just within walking distance. Try the Shady Grove -- especially the Tamale Cakes -- it is a meal in itself, but SKIP the Purple Rita at Baby A's."
4815435,40855932,2015-08-02,30739159,Josh,"Excellent! So accommodating and flexible. Perfect location for Zilker, Barton Springs, and Greenbelt access. I would definitely stay again!"
4815435,42006727,2015-08-10,35983203,Jenni,"A very helpful and accommodating Allison provided a safe and clean place for our party of 4 to enjoy our favorite Texas destination. Location is extremely convenient to the parks and many eateries; we especially enjoyed walking around the corner to the Food Park, home to a variety of food truck vendors. We thoroughly enjoyed the eccentric vibe that Allison's place radiates and felt right at home. We would love to stay here again in the future!"
4815435,46162341,2015-09-08,40378956,Chris,"I loved the location of the listing. It was conveniently located near a great Austin attraction (Barton Springs & Zach Theatre) and restaurants (Chuy's, Terry Black's BBQ, & Maudie's ). The unit was very clean with great amenities. Allison was also very helpful with responding when we had general questions"
4815435,48730527,2015-09-28,40711541,Drew,"We absolutely loved staying in Allison's apartment! It was very clean and so adorable. She has an awesome back porch that was perfect for mornings. Her place is walking distance to some awesome restaurants and other places that made her neighborhood have a fun vibe! 
We loved that Allison was very laid back & easy to communicate with.  "
4815435,49631576,2015-10-05,4395902,Austin,I stayed here 2 nights for ACL and loved how close and convenient the place is. It's also very clean and comfortable. Our host was very accommodating and flexible regarding check-in and check-out. I highly recommend this listing. 
4815435,50638358,2015-10-13,36585161,Madison,"Allison's place was everything we were looking for and more! Her place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Allison was very accommodating, flexible with check in/out, she even left us fresh flowers!  You also couldn't ask for a better location for ACL! Our weekend was fantastic but Allison's apartment was the cherry on top!  THANKS AGAIN!"

The room was cute and cozy and something I would most certainly stay in again if I ever find myself in the Austin area. Plus, the location was great as it was close to the airport and downtown! "
7698286,50505203,2015-10-12,39483040,Ann,"Had an awesome time at Kara and Ben's house! The room, hospitality, and location was great. We were so close to downtown and Mckinney Falls. We definitely enjoyed our stay. "

8118607,45748506,2015-09-05,42212463,Fabiola,"Texas-sized hospitality!
Catherine and Felipe made us feel so welcomed. They are a very charming couple. They were happy to get to know us and even invited us to hang out and watch TV with them. We had our own room and bathroom. Their apartment  was very clean. We had travel size toiletries available to us in the bathroom with clean fluffy towels. Everything about their place made us feel comfortable. An extra bonus was their two adorable French Bulldogs. 

Their apartment complex is gated, has a huge pool, and looks very new, but the best thing about it is the location. It was a 10-min drive from Barton Springs and Rainey Street. We could almost walk to the bridge to see the bats.

I would highly recommend their place to any of my family and friends. Huge thanks to Catherine and Felipe.  "
8118607,45917638,2015-09-06,43026738,Meihui,Go there feel at home! Have an awesome night in there and the two litter puppies are sooooo cute!!!
8118607,47907113,2015-09-21,25912269,Emilie,"Catherine and Felipe are such a nice couple with very cute french bulldogs :) My friend and I stayed two nights in their spare bedroom and were very happy. The apartment is located in a convenient area and is also super clean. We had our own bathroom which was supplied with shampoo, conditioner, and lotions. They are very friendly and gave us advice on where to visit in Austin, etc. Overall wonderful!"
8118607,48037995,2015-09-22,38425497,Dane,"Catherine is an amazing host!  She is so welcoming and friendly, we felt right at home.

The apartment is immaculate and is located in a gated community, which is just like a resort, with a beautiful big pool and gym!

Her two dogs are very cute and playful.  We loved meeting them.

Can't wait to visit again :-)"
8118607,48645602,2015-09-27,7273745,Gregg,Wonderful visit in Austin.  The host was so nice and it was a pleasure being with them and their dogs.  Nice building with pool and easy access everywhere.   Hope to return down the road!
2355603,11770933,2014-04-14,3364479,Clare,We loved our weekend here! The house was great and the beds and living room were so cozy.  One of our favorite parts was the cute back deck - we loved having coffee out here in the morning and chilling out here in the evenings.  The neighborhood was really cool! We enjoyed walking around and checking out all the fun houses.  The weather was amazing so we loved walking from the house to South Congress where we shopped and dined.  Such a great area!  Leah was a fabulous host!  We hope we can come back again soon!

"

8775493,52158114,2015-10-26,46232331,Bryan,Angella & Tommy were great to us.  Their unit is perfect for a couple or just one person.  The bed is  very comfortable and the shower was awesome.  Their unit is brand new and very private so stay here if you are in Austin and want to be close to South Congress and Downtown!!
8775493,52463846,2015-10-29,6893850,Ramiro,"Excellent space! Clean, comfortable, and perfect location in Austin. I'd highly recommend staying with Angella. "
8775493,52780238,2015-11-01,30258941,Kamala,Angella was a wonderful host and we enjoyed our time staying at her place while exploring Austin. The room had everything we needed and then some! The entire place was spotless - very clean and comfortable. With our own private entrance we felt comfortable to come and go whenever we wanted and were able to walk to lots of restaurants and shops on South Congress street. I would highly recommend Angella's place when visiting Austin. 
8775493,53076948,2015-11-04,5272945,Tracy,"Angella was a great host, and this place is beautiful, spotlessly clean, and very convenient to South Congress with it's scores of great clubs and restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet and very walkable, also an inexpensive ride to wherever you want to go, less than 3 miles from downtown. The bed was comfortable, the water pressure excellent, real as opposed to lousy window air conditioning, and again, extremely clean place. All of the important things checked, plus personable hosts. Thank you, Angella! "
317148,1016629,2012-03-19,205736,Tod,"Martina and Brett are great people and great hosts.  Wonderful communication, clear directions.  

I loved their funky, artistic place in East Austin.  It was a relaxing respite and a wonderful base for exploring Austin.  The house is charming and spacious, and the artistic decorations by the two artist owners made for a wonderful environment.

Couldn't ask for better hosts.  If you like a cool, funky place, this one will make you happy."
317148,3754050,2013-03-11,5175792,Kyle,"This house is a beautiful sanctuary!  Martina and Brent are so very talented and you see it in every detail of the design, construction and decoration.  It's also super convenient to everything you want to do in East Austin and Downtown, just as advertised.  Love this place, would recommend it to anyone.  "
317148,3832437,2013-03-19,497792,Ashley,"Such a great location and beautifully designed and individual house. We loved the decor and the house was cosy and had great air conditioning, which is needed in Austin. The chickens in teh garden made it feel like a proper home and they were great to hang out with first thing in teh morning. Having bikes at the house was a major bonus too. Would come back here in a hot minute!! Cheers guys x"
317148,10918059,2014-03-13,10529953,Kayla,"Showed up at SXSW in Austin and arrived at a beautiful home, enjoyed the house so much!  Has incredible charm, you can hang out in the trees or play with the chickens.  Made me feel home away from home, thanks guys!"
317148,10997226,2014-03-17,5541277,Peter,"Can't say enough nice things about Martina and her home. The house was absolutely perfect, a wonderfully cozy getaway while we were visiting for sxsw. There's plenty of room, and Martina provided everything we needed for our stay. The back yard was a bonus, as was the front patio which was great for relaxing at night. The house was a short stroll from East Sixth Street too. After we arrived, we easily got around on foot all weekend. Can't wait to make it back, for sxsw or a visit at a more chill time of year."
317148,11782205,2014-04-14,5455736,Clarissa,"Martina's home was everything we expected it to be; it's located in a GREAT location, stocked with enough linens and home appliances for our 2 night stay, and every room was clean to perfection.  Not to mention, her chickens are the cutest things ever!  They're super friendly and fun to watch while you lay in the hammock in the backyard.  Thanks for a great stay!"
317148,13115137,2014-05-19,424546,Erin,"We had an amazing stay at Martina's fabulous East Austin home! The house was perfectly located for easy access to all our East Austin favorites (Takoba, Justine's, Vintage Heart). Martina made check-in/check-out super easy, and was kind enough to let us drop by later in the day to pick up our laundry. Definitely at the top of my list for a place to stay next time I'm in Austin!"
317148,20818620,2014-10-06,18665566,Molly,The house was perfect. Looks just like the photos. And very close to everything. 
317148,21198206,2014-10-13,8518427,Anna,"We received friendly and clear communication from Martina during the booking process and the week before arrival. The home was spotless and comfortable for a family of five. It would have worked well for three couples who don't mind sharing a bath. The location was perfect for ACL or other centrally located events/festivals.

This was our first airbnb experience and we were extremely pleased. "
317148,22042075,2014-10-28,22259104,Melanie,"I went to Austin with 5 girlfriends and we were well accomadated staying here. The house definitely felt and looked lived in but it added to the charm :) We didn't spend a large amount of time actually at the house, but we're more then comfortable when we were there. We all appreciated the eco friendly vibe we got staying there and enjoyed the recycling options. I wouldn't recommend the pull out sofa for sleeping, but there was plenty of room for an air mattress. I think all the girls would agree that it perfectly fit our needs. We purchased 2 long mirrors from Target to make up for only having 1 bathroom and it was the perfect solution. The tenant in the guest house was nearly invisible and we liked the chickens! Big thanks to Martina!"
317148,22357073,2014-11-04,11444800,Sara,"Our stay in Martina's home was great.  The house is very clean and comfortable, we had 5 people staying, two in each room and one person on the pull out couch, there was more than enough room for everyone.  The backyard is spacious and wonderful with a tire swing, fire pit and lovely backyard chickens.  Great location close to downtown (UBER ride was around 10 dollars for the 5 of us).  Would definitely recommend and/or stay again! "
317148,22675963,2014-11-11,11366736,Elizabeth Scott &,"Pleasant funky home in East Austin that feels like home. Our rental was clean, well stocked and had lots of room for lounging. Would recommend to stay here if you're looking for an eclectic homely experience. "
317148,28459975,2015-03-24,13431663,Vaughn,"Everything described on the listing was spot on, very chilled and inviting. I stayed at Martina's place with 3 friends for SXSW and found it a great place to stay for the week. Thanks Martina!"
317148,28855830,2015-03-30,18975691,Erin,Martina and her husband were very welcoming. The house was in a great neighborhood and easily accessible. We loved the relaxed feeling in the big backyard. Everything about the house was clean and well prepared for guests. We will certainly be back!

317148,49608469,2015-10-05,1969868,Ryan,Highly recommended! The interior design is absolutely amazing! So much amazing detail. The house is a great size for 6 and location worked well for ACL and going the bars. I feel they need to mention that someone is living in the backyard side house. Took away from the privacy of the house and wasn't expecting it. 
317148,50630187,2015-10-13,9928024,Elisabeth,"Martina was super helpful and the check-in, check-out process was easy as pie. The house was AWESOME! So much room for activities - a tire swing, chickens, fire pit, a climbing tree, instruments and more! Plenty of room and super funky and cool. We loved it. I would 100% stay here again!"
694470,2923315,2012-11-19,3906047,Yasir,"Karen was wonderful, courteous, hospitable, and sweet. We arrived at her listing, with her family there to greet my friend and I. The residence was very homey, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend booking with Karen. "
694470,3823047,2013-03-18,5269068,Chris,"I stayed at the fantastic casa de Tsang with two colleagues during our stop over for SXSW. I have to say, the vibe of the Tsang home is fantastic, warm, welcoming, and tastefully curated. The accommodations were similar to that of a hotel stay with fresh towels, soaps, and even fresh fruit and pastries upon arrival! The house was absolutely comfortable and Karen and fam did a great job of making us feel right at home during our stay. Although they were on site in an adjoined back house during our stay, they were totally friendly and did a great job of keeping it casual and non intrusive. the neighborhood is close to the airport as well as downtown so it makes for a perfect location. We even found a really cool park on airport with a cement  mini ramp to skate on our way out of town!  look forward to staying with them again on my next trek through Austin. Thanks Karen! #totalscore"
694470,4849895,2013-05-28,1624409,Liz,We had a wonderful time during our stay in Austin in Karen's home!  Her home is clean and comfortable and just plain neat!  We really enjoyed all of the interesting artwork and the huge dining room table!  This is a great house for multiple couples or friends because there are three bathrooms and several beds!  We will be looking up Karen again for our next stay in Austin!
694470,7189288,2013-09-09,4942289,Debra,The reservation was canceled 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

694470,21303163,2014-10-14,21619641,Scott,"Great little home!  What a wonderful visit to Austin made more fantastic by such a sweet spot.  The front house was very charming and well thought out, enough space and comfort for all six of us over 4 days. Karen was vert attentive and resppnsive, Thank you Karen!"
694470,22305692,2014-11-03,16210990,Harris,"Stayed at the front house for Formula 1 weekend. It was a great location for Formula 1 since it's on that side of Austin and still near downtown and cool East Austin spots. The house is great. It has three bedrooms that can easily sleep 6, and great style. Karen was very accommodating, she made us delicious muffins and provided coffee and eggs from the onsite chickens! Very Austin-y house for a great Austin experience. "
694470,28120144,2015-03-18,1897854,Joe,"This is a great little bungalow standout in an East Side Austin transitional neighborhood. The house itself was easy to navigate and Karen checked in several times to check on us and to make sure we had everything we needed. Karen also had some fresh ground coffee awaiting when we arrived after a long flight. Wifi was super fast and the big dining table was a great place to work when we were at the house. There are chickens in the backyard, though we didn't really use the house for much other than working and sleeping so I can't speak to that. There is a rooster in the backyard though and a few more within the vicinity and they like to wake you up early so be prepared if you like to sleep in. There is another house connected off the back that had guests but they did not bother us at all. It's all separate entrance. So in closing, listing is very accurate. This is a no frills AirBNB with some charm hosted by Karen who although we didn't meet in person, was quite lovely to work with. Also, personally, I like AirBNBs that are people's homes as they feel warmer and are definitely more appointed than ""pure rentals"".  "
694470,28305584,2015-03-22,4620456,Jessica,"great spot - super close to downtown austin! the house is awesome, and chill, and SUPER CLEAN (important!). great if you anticipating needing a lil downtime and sanity while you're running around for festivals/events, etc."
3563945,18077485,2014-08-21,17580998,Sungwon,"He was so kind house holder.

It was my first time using airbnb, and also first time in US, and Texas.

At the first day, I lost my ways and he called a cab for me.

For the rooms, it is very nice and has very fascinating views :)"
3563945,18369391,2014-08-25,20136555,Carmen,"I arrived around 2 am because of a late flight and picking up my rental car.
I was so surprised, being so late, that Jeddy would answer my texts with  my questions  related to getting situated in  the Penthouse room. He was very accommodating even at such a late arrival time. I enjoyed the comfortable queen sized bed and the clean private bathroom .  The Manhattan location is right in the center of UT Austin. It was  very convenient for me to walk to campus, restaurants,stores and my daughter's sorority house.  Travelling by myself , I felt very safe walking  around late at night. There was ample parking on the streets and public parking is readily accessible.  The view from the Manhattan  is incredible.
I hope to return to the Penthouse room on my next trip to Austin."
3563945,18761450,2014-08-31,6903918,Jonathan,Jeddy is incredibly nice and accommodating. He made my girlfriend and I feel at home and welcome to enjoy the Manhattan as if it were our own. Highly recommend.
3563945,19880326,2014-09-20,3160423,Mary,"Jeddy was an active host, checking in twice a day or so to see that everything was going well for us.  He did a nice job of embellishing his top floor unit to spin as a Manhattan penthouse, that is essentially a dorm at the UT campus.  As charming and vivacious as he is personally, the private room had no windows and was black-out dark.  "
3563945,20627842,2014-10-02,18783021,Marc,"Staying with Jeddy at the Manhattan was a real pleasure. The balcony view of Austin is amazing and the appartment is great. It's in the heart of the university district and everything is close, including the public transport (which is great in Austin). Jeddy is attentive, answering to all requests and has a professional attitude (will ask for feedback to constantly improve the experience) ... Definitely recommendable!"
3563945,21746241,2014-10-23,21040891,Shveta,This is a great place located very close to UT Austin. The apartment has the most beautiful view of the entire city and is perfectly maintained by Jeddy. Five star comfort with a homely feeling. 
3563945,21949008,2014-10-27,20732066,Micah,"Jeddy was very personable, and he makes every effort to keep the apartment clean and functional.  ""The Manhattan"" is not the building, it is just what he calls his apartment; it has large photos of the Big Apple.  The building is a STUDENT HOUSING APARTMENT BLDG.  Therefore, the entry and elevators are much like a college dormitory, complete with trash in the elevators after Fri/Sat night.  That said, the apartment is nice, and the view (it's on the top floor 21) is terrific.  Trouble is this:  I had the impression we were renting a small studio apartment (""Penthouse"") but actually it was a room, with shared access to the kitchen, pictured living room and balcony.   Other people are there in the other bedroom as well.  We did have a private bathroom -- very nicely appointed.  Our room was pretty small and has NO WINDOWS.   On that point, Jeddy has arranged a motion sensor activated night light to reduce stumbling around in the dark.  If you are at all claustrophobic, I would not recommend it.  (The other bedroom apparently has windows.)   Noise was troubling.  Like the top floor of most commercial buildings, there are fans, motors, AC and such large equipment operating on the roof that cause considerable noise and vibration, and run 24/7.  So if you are sensitive to noise, not a good place to sleep.  Location is great if you want to be near UT.  So, I learned a bit about reading postings closely and asking questions. "
3563945,22169287,2014-10-31,6385101,Richard,"I stayed at Jeddy's place for four nights to attend a conference at the convention center. This is a good neighborhood just west of University of Texas. You can walk there or to some late-night food and beverage in 2-4 blocks. Door to door to the convention center won't be less than about 25 minutes including walk to car, drive park at the Second and San Jacinto convention center parking garage and walk to the convention center. Google maps will estimate the travel time at about nine minutes. I had the inside bedroom and private bath, access to kitchen, fridge, in suite laundry etc. There is a very nice view from the small condo balcony. The absence of windows in that bedroom did not bother me, because I was out from about 8 AM to 11 PM each night. The bed, linens, and bathroom were comfortable and well supplied. The building is high rise dorm-like but the apartment is condo-like and clean inside. The building is secure with 2 good elevators. All transportation (around 25 blocks) to the downtown hotel area can avoid I-35, and this allows you to save maybe $200 a night versus the convention center hotels. Morning traffic was not bad. During my stay, the convention center garage was not attended at late night and therefore my parking was free. Sixth street is about 15 blocks. I recommend this for business or brief stays and would return. "
3563945,22511700,2014-11-08,18586879,Wiggert,"My first AirBNB experience. I found Jeddy is taking his role as hospitality manager of his own house very seriously.
I was there for business and he respected my privacy when needed. There was also time for social chatting with beers & cigars. Jeddy is an educated, smart and caring person. I can only hope future bookings will be just as good."
3563945,22771818,2014-11-14,9165325,Jon,"Jeddy is a great host with an awesome place. Great view, comfortable bed and the place was very clean. I would definitely stay again."
3563945,22980052,2014-11-19,21598668,Paul,"My experience staying in The Manhattan could not have been any better. Jeddy was an amazing host, who's goal is to ensure that you have the best experience with airbnb and his apartment as possible.

The penthouse is in a great location, only a few blocks from campus. The amenities within the apartment are outstanding. Jeddy has provided amazingly soft sheets and a very comfortable bed, along with high quality linens in the your own private restroom. The modern design of the apartment is tastefully done, with beautiful photographs of New York scattered throughout. Jeddy is passionate about improving every aspect of the stay, sharing with you new ways he is constantly improving on an already fantastic experience. When Jeddy takes you on the tour of the apartment for the first time, you can tell he has paid close attention to every detail, and that is what sets The Manhattan apart.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin, especially near UT, I am sure Jeddy and The Manhattan will provide you with the high quality experience you are looking for."
3563945,25370678,2015-01-13,25600107,Emanuele,"Jeddy is an amazing guy: he cares about particulars and he shows you everything when you enter in his apartment, so you don't have to worry about anything! The apartment is like the one that you see in movies. The view from the balcony is wonderful. Probably, there are only few places in Austin with that view...
I strongly recommend him!"
3563945,25920976,2015-01-29,19077738,Cristina,Jeddy was extremely professional and efficient with booking details. You can tell he puts a lot of time and energy into making your stay as comfortable as possible. He is personable and promptly answers any of your questions. I would recommend his spaces to all my friends and family!
3563945,26066739,2015-02-02,22935861,Alexander,Jeddy was a great host and accommodated my late arrival. It was evident that he is a man that focuses on the details. The welcome guide and neighborhood guide he provides upon your reservation were excellent sources of information and make everything seamless. Jeddy is very personable and always asking if he can do anything to provide you better service to improve your stay. I highly recommend experiencing this for yourself if you plan to visit Austin!
3563945,26169200,2015-02-05,19077738,Cristina,I've been consistently using Jeddy as my go to listing when in Austin because he is so consistent and professional !
3563945,26306126,2015-02-09,22997063,Lewis,"Jeddy was a terrific host. From day 1 he was a great communicator and accommodated my 2 am late check-in. The place was fantastic as well and true to its pictures. It has a gorgeous view, ample amenities, and is in the perfect location - walking distance from downtown and campus. Upon arrival, Jeddy came and visited me at the apartment to acquaint me with the apartment and give me excellent recommendations in the surrounding area. Jeddy treats you like a personal friend and I give him and the penthouse the highest recommendations!"
3563945,26755316,2015-02-18,20358531,Katy,"I had a great experience at Jeddy's loft. He was kind enough to let me have a later arrival as I had a business dinner to attend. We got a chance to get to know a little bit about each other when I checked-in which was nice as I had been in hotels all week! The room was spacious and right next to the private bathroom in the hall. Everything was clean and the view was outstanding! Jeddy had a dedicated parking spot which made things really easy with my rental car and he was really respectful of my space/time as I was mainly working the few days I stayed with him, even offering to buy me food from the grocery store while he was there! 
I HIGHLY recommend staying at any of Jeddy's properties!"
3563945,27771509,2015-03-11,27842883,Calvin,"I had a great weeklong stay at Jeddy's Manhattan apartment. The location is perfect. I found myself walking to nearby cafes/restaurants/convenience stores all the time and did not need a car at all. The neighborhood is overrun with UT students and it kind of made me nostalgic of college. Jeddy wrote this amazing guidebook full of awesome recommendations of things to do nearby, and I personally found it extremely helpful.

The apartment itself is of very good condition and is professionally managed by Jeddy himself. It actually consists of three separate Airbnb listings: the master bedroom, the guest bedroom (me), and the living room couch. Jeddy is a busy man but he checks in often to make sure everything is well-stocked and his guests are taken care of. Speaking of other guests, I had as much fun interacting with them as I did with Jeddy, and everyone was friendly and respectful. If you're social and like to meet people, this experience beats hotels hands down.

I think others have mentioned this, but to me the only negative is the rooftop A/C unit that produces a constant buzz. I'm sensitive to noise so it was a bit annoying at first, but after a while it just faded into the background and never bothered me again. Everything else about my stay was absolutely perfect. Thanks for hosting me, Jeddy!"
3563945,27850432,2015-03-13,10050915,Franco,Best welcome ever. He sent an email with full detail of everything. Great view of Austin.
3563945,28551341,2015-03-25,23228187,Eric,"Jeddy was a great host!  He was very accommodating, warm, and friendly.  The reservation was sent on very short notice, but Jeddy made it work and was helpful from beginning to end.  He really understands the benefits of airbnb and is a great advocate for the service.  The location is very close to UT, so I definitely had the feeling that I was back on a college campus...which gave me quite a nostalgic feeling since that was a long time ago for me.  Everything about the stay was great!  Thanks Jeddy!"
3563945,28970404,2015-04-01,30012455,Mei,"This was my first AirBnB experience and it turned out pretty well. Jeddy was friendly, very helpful and responsive. The place is neat and clean with awesome view of downtown Austin, just like the photos. I especially like the terrace with white sofa and all, very relaxing spot.

Jeddy recommended a nearby deli which turned out to be fantastic. Thanks! 

The one minor discomfort for me was that, I am sensitive to noise, and this being on the top floor, the building's machine on the roof turned out to be somewhat too much for me. Jeddy quickly pointed the way for me to find earplugs which helped tremendously.  Other than this issue that may or may not bother another traveler, it's very good in terms of value, location and quality."
3563945,30428815,2015-04-21,31250301,Dustin,Nice place to stay. The host was good to work with. 
3563945,30486018,2015-04-22,31546678,Carl,Nice place.  Fun location (lots of good comfort food towards the University).  And the view is indeed spectacular.  Jeddy is very nice.  An excellent host.
3563945,30590978,2015-04-24,9340274,Appy,Excellent host. Great welcome package provided. Clean room and facilities. Love the proximity to the UT Austin campus.
3563945,30651137,2015-04-25,31630380,Ryan,This place was fantastic and Jeddy was great!
3563945,31486220,2015-05-05,32002827,Maddie,"Our first airbnb experience was a positive one. Jeddy provided a comfortable stay for us during our recent Austin trip as well as some great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. We had our own private bedroom and bathroom which were immaculate. The price was listed incorrectly ($65 when the actual room cost was $120/night due to different pricing for weekends), but we figured out in after some back and forth with our host. We loved the view from his 21st floor apartment and were sad to not have any extra time to hang out on the terrace with a glass of wine. We were locked out of the bathroom during the first day and Jeddy was patient and supportive as we all figured out a way to get the door to open. It seemed like it wasn’t the first time this had happened, based on how blunt the knob and the nail inside the door knob appeared from repeated prior trials. This might be something for guests to pay extra attention to during their stay. My guess is that the lock was half way stuck when I closed the door and it then locked itself. We had to scratch one thing on our to do list for the day because of this little mishap. One negative experience was the message we received from our host during the night prior to our arrival asking if we were OK if three gentlemen crashed in the living room for the night. After finding out that we would be sharing the bathroom (the airbnb deal included our own private bathroom), we stated that we weren’t OK with this last minute change in plans to which our host was fine and made alternate arrangements for his other guests. Although it worked out in the end, it did cause a little stir hours before we boarded our flight to Austin. It turned out that he also rented the master bedroom and slept in the living room (this would have been nice to know before hand). Although this did not affect us much, the entry of the additional guests into the apartment around midnight was pretty loud and woke us up. The door to the apartment was right in front of our room, and the entry and conversions made it a bit noisy for us to fall back asleep. Having the guests themselves in the other bedroom wasn't a bother at all. The only other thing that I would like to mention is the lack of creamer, half-n-half or milk for coffee drinkers. He seemed to be OK with us making coffee for ourselves (coffee was included in the room description), but failed to mention that he was out of milk. It would have saved us time from trying to make coffee on our way out for a morning run. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and our host treated us well. We would definitely recommend Jeddy's airbnb for anyone looking for a..."
3563945,31973870,2015-05-12,31761277,Colton,"What a phenomenal experience! I cannot say enough positive things about my recent (and first airbnb) stay at the Penthouse. The accommodations are wonderful, I stayed in the guest suite and the bed was amazing. The Penthouse was very clean and was very central to everything. Uber is very accessible here and a $4 ride gets you to the capitol building. 
   The view from the balcony is breath-taking. From it you can see a good majority of the Austin skyline, including the UT stadium. 

   Jeddy was about the best of hosts one can have. From the moment I arrived I was treated like an old friend. I was traveling alone, and he happily guided me around his beautiful. On the opposite end, there was a family staying in the master bedroom and they were afforded privacy throughout their stay. Jeddy will accommodate you in every way possible. 

   This was a perfect stay. Perfect location, accommodation and host. I'll certainly be back!"
3563945,35605341,2015-06-20,6199131,Wilson,The description was very accurate and the apartment is awesome!
3563945,37113110,2015-07-04,15235027,Jyoti,"Jeddy was easy to work with, pretty courteous and accommodating. The room was relatively ok for a quick nigh stay, dark carpet, closet had some of home owners personal junk and the mattress was soft as an ice cream. If you need a reasonably priced student apartment room around UT Austin, this is your place."
3563945,38087106,2015-07-12,37364647,Nathan&Zelda,"Jeddy is as top drawer as his place.  Clean and Convenient with phenomenal  views and large format fotos of the Big Apple.   Jeddy is a role model for hosts, and an excellent conversationalist.  Highly recommended!"
3563945,41909866,2015-08-09,40075043,Joseph,"First airbnb experience and Jeddy was not only a perfect host; but his penthouse view literally put me in awe. Perfect modern clean place and will definitely return, thanks Jeddy!"
3563945,46375002,2015-09-10,2413630,Scott,"The place was really nice! I would recommend this location if staying in Austin, TX."
3563945,47598635,2015-09-20,44425534,Sarah,Great first airbnb experience!  Everything was exactly as advertised and you can't beat that amazing view of the city.  Jeddy met us down in the parking lot and showed us around the apartment.  Perfect stay!
3563945,49068684,2015-09-30,28878674,Clark,"Loved Jeddy's place.  Exactly as advertised, clean, and a GREAT location.  Can't wait to stay there again."
3563945,50154604,2015-10-09,7172163,Michael,"Fine place, suited my needs perfectly; comfortable, nice view."
3563945,50808971,2015-10-14,14881451,Ashley,"I was really excited to stay at an ""insane penthouse"". When Jeddy reached out to ask when I would arrive in order to schedule a cleaning accordingly, I was even more ecstatic! However, Jeddy was not there upon arrival and the cleaning lady was still there. Although I didn't mind the cleaning lady, it was a bit awkward. I also did not have the app on my phone and had no idea how to access the building. This became a slight issue during my stay. The penthouse was pretty basic, but clean and looks exactly like the pictures. If you're a light sleeper, I would not recommend staying here as I could hear the building fan (or something that was on the roof) throughout the whole night. I left the following morning and ran into Jeddy, but that was the only interaction during my stay. It was not a bad experience, just not ideal. "
3563945,51172188,2015-10-18,44885279,George,"Beautiful apartment, breathtaking view, great neighborhood, easy public transportation access"
5124417,28008842,2015-03-16,4577802,Kath,Without a doubt the best airbnb experience I have ever had and I have stayed in many! Sunee's  place is as gorgeous as she is - well beyond the photos and description and also our expectations. She welcomed us to the house and thoughtfully stocked the fridge with the things we would need and a lot more! Such a generosity of spirit. Best airbnb experience ever!
2118777,10711888,2014-03-03,5339788,Steve,"Jennifer was very very kind and accomodating! I felt like she was one of my sisters or family, and felt just like I was home.Room was clean, bed was super comfy, balcony was awesome to have, private bath with towels & stuff was great to have. The kitchen and living room was nice and modern.   I'd def stay with her again! Thanks Jennifer!"
2118777,10885448,2014-03-11,4699925,Chris,"Jennifer was awesome!  Best host ever.  Super accommodating at every part of our trip.  She and her sis went above and beyond to cater to all our needs with food, drinks, extra sleeping accommodations, the works!  The place was super clean and much nicer and more spacious in person than the photos could even describe.  Absolutely without a doubt recommend staying here – southern hospitality at its best!"
2118777,11576975,2014-04-07,2740875,Jason,"Best host EVER! 

Helped us find her place, very friendly. The apartment was clean with a nice layout, and both the master bed and pull-out bed were very comfortable. 

Had wonderful suggestions for downtown Austin, and invited us out for breakfast in the morning. All around an amazing stay. 

A+"
2118777,13388024,2014-05-26,12609616,Jessica,"I had an exceptional stay at Jennifer's. Beautiful and really clean apartment, super comfy beds, extra plush towels, garage parking, and most importantly, perfectly working climate control in the Austin summer. Jennifer is very professional and welcoming--I appreciated how, within minutes, she taught us all the little things that would make our go that much more smoothly: parking, working the various building locks, extra linens, AC controls, TV controls, wifi password, safest routes to downtown, expectations on her schedule, etc. She also gave us tons of local tips that I definitely would've used if we hadn't already had our own Austin native showing us around!

The neighborhood is AMAZING: short walk to sixth street night life, two incredible BBQ restaurants just blocks away (crucial when you have to line up at 8am), Rainey street is a longer walk, and the food truck scene lived up to its reputation. After this trip, Austin has become one of my favorite cities!"
2118777,18291629,2014-08-24,20358895,旺璋,"It's a quiet and cozy place, while locates close to 6th. It's a perfect place for those people who want to go to 6th street at night."
2118777,19239818,2014-09-08,20747688,D,"I enjoyed my stay. The hospitality of a hotel  with the feel  and space of home.
"
2118777,19626783,2014-09-15,15399148,Ken,"There aren't enough words to describe how AWESOME staying at Jennifer's place was this past weekend, but I'll try. 

Location - I couldn't have asked for a better location. Every night, my friends and I walked to the downtown area and it was so easy and convenient. There are also some great restaurants down the block from the apartment, as well as convenience stores. Parking is tremendously easy and the neighborhood was beautiful. 

Apartment Room - The actual room is truly luxurious and upscale. All of the beds were comfortable, and the comforters and pillows offered made sleeping so easy. The kitchen was very modern.  The bathroom was clean, and the shower/tub area was huge. 

Jennifer as a host was really the icing on the cake. She was the most accommodating host I've encountered on this site, and really did her job at making us feel right at home. She offered plenty of suggestions on places to eat and go, and always made it known that if we had any questions, she would be more than happy to help. 

I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and probably will do so in the near future. If you're in the Austin area, I couldn't recommend a better place to stay. "
2118777,20037447,2014-09-22,1334465,Prashant,"Awesome experience, Jen is a gracious host"
2118777,21609613,2014-10-20,21850998,Nazmus,"Jennifer was a great host - made us feel welcome. The space is well kept and comfortable. We had three people in our group and we felt we had plenty of space. 

The location is great - right next to downtown. Not a long walk to 6th street and we walked to Rainey and the UT Campus as well."
2118777,21958448,2014-10-27,12251,Pat,"Jennifer was a wonderful host, always quick to make sure I had everything I needed, but never in my way (indeed, we barely crossed paths for most of my stay). The apartment was roomy and comfortable, and it's an easy walk into the thick of Austin's downtown neighbourhood (including the infamous Sixth Street). Would happily stay here again!"
2118777,22580122,2014-11-10,2089165,Jp,"Jennifer was a fantastic host for our trip to Austin. Her place immediately felt like home and made our stay enjoyable. Even for a group of 6 people, her apartment had enough room for all of us. Would absolutely rent from her again!"
2118777,26664394,2015-02-16,27670115,Nick,GREAT! She really made us feel at home. Very hospitable and I would definitely recommend this place for any family or group of friends visiting the Austin area.
2118777,27031386,2015-02-23,24843557,Michael,"Was very accommodating and made sure we felt welcome. Space easily fit the 5 in our group. Location was great to hit up the East side of Austin, and was in walking distance to downtown. "

and Jennifer is very kind!!
She always help me when I have trouble.
I recommend to stay Jennifer's space!

When I go to Austin again, I'll stay Jennifer's space again:) "
2118777,30359002,2015-04-20,31180811,Kayla,"Jennifer was very nice and accomodating to whatever time we got in town. She wasn't home most of the time. 

Pros: close to downtown without being in the thick of it. Nice apartment with plenty of parking.

Cons: had to walk pretty far from parking to get to the apartment (which was only a pain because we had a lot of stuff). Jennifer's alarm (or radio?) went off at 9 AM and wasn't shut off for a while. After a late night the night before, it was definitely too early of a wake up. "
2118777,33157313,2015-05-25,21528653,Eddie,"Jennifer was amazing and super nice, definitely made us all fell very comfortable. She never came out of her room as to give us privacy but was always very happy to help. The living situation was spacious and accommodating. "
2118777,46064332,2015-09-07,31931885,Alberto,Jennifer was really nice and super easy to communicate with. The apartment had a really great location that was super close to  downtown Austin. The place was very well kept and very clean. I felt like I was borrowing a friends apartment for the weekend.  
2118777,47879062,2015-09-21,15104198,Karen,"Jennifer was an excellent host and her place is exactly as described. She's hardly ever home so we had the whole place to ourselves for most of the weekend. It's a quick 10 minute walk to Downtown and there are sidewalks along the whole route. 

I was travelling with 3 colleagues on a work trip and we decided to extend our stay to enjoy the city. Jennifer was really flexible about check out time which meant we didn't have to lug our bags while waiting for check in at the hotel our work booked us. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a great value stay in Austin!"
2118777,48589085,2015-09-27,43693779,Ephraim,"Jennifer was a fun host. She made us feel welcome. I was traveling with a friend and we stopped in Austin for the night. We needed a place that was an easy walk to sixth street and this was perfect. The pictures are accurate. Overall, it was a great stay."
2118777,49634566,2015-10-05,14453391,Wil,Jennifer was awesome. She was very accommodating and inviting. We had no problems fitting 6 people in her apartment. She was barely there but was always available when we needed something. Location was amazing as we were within walking distance of all major bars and restaurants. Austin in general a great time and I highly recommend staying here. 
2118777,50429770,2015-10-12,34010617,Mashell,"Jennifer was so welcoming and extremely laid back. She took the time to make sure we knew exactly how to get in and out of the massive apartment building. Her apartment was clean, she provided shampoo/conditioner/body wash in our bathroom, and even said we could raid her fridge! (we didn't, but I thought that was a nice gesture) She was accommodating to our early ""check in"" and late ""check out"". This worked out way better than a hotel for us! The location is really convenient. You can literally walk a few blocks and you're right downtown. "
2118777,51476829,2015-10-20,45474731,Justin,"Jennifer was incredibly welcoming! The apartment's in a great location, very close to the heart of downtown. Highly recommended : )"
2118777,51971350,2015-10-25,13873509,Jason,Jennifer was everything you could want in a host.  I felt immediately comfortable and she was great at adjusting to your style.  I was coming in off of a long and delayed flight and this place was a great respite.  Would definitely stay there again!

This cottage has the potential to be a terrific stay.  The owners are new to Air B&B, but it seems they are on the road to smoothing out the wrinkles.  Parking is terrific.  "

Brad does an excellent job keeping up with the place and communicating with you as necessary. I would certainly recommend this spot for anyone.

The house itself had a great air conditioning system, easy parking (the driveway was big enough to fit my gigantic SUV rental vehicle) and a lovely, spacious patio. All electronic appliances (refrigerator, TV, etc.) were modern and easy to use.  The bathroom was clean and the shower head was magnificent—better than most 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at (and I work in the hotel business). Lastly, the master bedroom with its massive bed was perfect for a good night’s rest.  Bradley was accommodating and helpful, with easy check-in and check-out procedures. All around, a wonderful stay for our first time in Austin, Texas. "

2489421,13605550,2014-06-01,2455751,Mallory,"I had a wonderful time at the cottage.  I stayed for a few weeks while my place was being renovated, the hostesses are both friendly, helpful and very respectful of privacy.  There are some furry friends who will come visit with you while you drink your coffee on the outside chair.
I would absolutely recommend the cottage to anyone, a great place to stay for a few nights or even a few weeks!"
2489421,14030860,2014-06-10,965847,Stacy,Great place to host my mother who needed a place easy to find and affordable. They were great at communicating and kept the fridge stocked with breakfast goodies!
2489421,16393197,2014-07-27,12833306,Ashley,Andrea and Janelle were very accommodating and available for anything we needed. The guesthouse was clean and just as it was the day we first saw it. The overall experience was great! Would definitely stay here again!
2489421,29251961,2015-04-06,24134303,Nickie,"I loved this cottage!  As soon as I arrived Andrea and Janelle greeted me at the door with my key.  They showed me the place and answered all of my questions.  The apartment was clean and had complimentary plastic ware, fruit, and toiletries.  I stayed for 13 weeks working night shift.  The hosts respected my privacy to sleep but were available anytime I needed anything at all!  The cottage was in a quite area, and the dark curtains made it easy to sleep during the day.  The neighborhood was nice, and there is a gorgeous walking/jogging area about a mile or 2 away.  I recommend this place to anyone!  Especially people looking for long term or people who have to work odd hours.  I would go back in a heartbeat, and I would love to see Andrea and Janelle again!  They were so friendly!  They even helped out with a couple rides while I was getting new car keys made!  I can't complement them enough!  I will recommend this cottage to all my traveling friends!"
2489421,30421621,2015-04-21,4982293,Peige,"This cottage was absolutely adorable!! Very thoughtfully equipped with all the comforts of home, in a small space. The grounds surrounding are serene with singing birds and fireflies!!!! Move in was a breeze and came with a lovely bowl of fruit. Furnished with interesting reading material and games. Janelle and her darling doggie Twister, was available for any questions. Centrally located to take the main highways or the back streets to any destination. I felt right at home and welcomed into this lovely environment. I highly recommend this property!!"
2489421,30525431,2015-04-23,4982293,Peige,I highly recommend this adorable cottage. It is thoughtfully equipped with all the comforts of home
2489421,32067658,2015-05-13,1525504,Laraine,"Andrea could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The little cottage is very comfortable and stocked with anything and everything you could need! The bed is comfy and I slept well every night, and the a/c keeps the temperature just right. And the location is great---only 15 minutes to UT!"
2489421,32649363,2015-05-19,19408132,Oscar,"My gracious hostess made me really feel at home.  The cottage, albeit really cozy has everything needed for a short stay and was totally spotless. If I ever go back to Austin I will make sure to book Andrea's place."
2489421,33086062,2015-05-25,109658,Joy,Communication with Andrea and her mom were great both prior and during the stay. It was the perfect place for my Bolivian friends to stay when they visited for my wedding reception--right around the corner from my house.
2489421,36188066,2015-06-26,31151785,Bryan,"Andrea and her mom were incredibly kind and ready to respond to any questions. The cottage was indeed cozy, but also clean, comfortable, and quiet. I would definitely recommend their cottage to anyone staying in Austin."
2489421,38399419,2015-07-15,31151785,Bryan,Completed a second stay and it was just as great as the first. The cozy cottage provides everything you need and is in a good location for getting to most of Austin.
2489421,50061913,2015-10-09,30868017,Floria,"My husband and I had a fantastic time at the cottage! It´s clean, quiet, cozy and worked wonders for us during our 5 week stay. Andrea and Janelle were always friendly and attentive to our needs and were also wonderful about giving us privacy. In addition, they accommodated our needs of having our small dog with us. Janelle even went out of her way to help us with our dog when we were running late from work a couple of times. 

Being my first experience with Airbnb, I have to say that I fully recommend the cottage and especially the wonderful hosts. Thank you Andrea and Janelle! I will not only miss Austin, but I'll miss you and the cottage.

7824307,49404909,2015-10-03,12266822,Ranjit Koshy,I stayed at Edwards apartment for two nights and had a pleasant stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful. Its quite near to the lake and you can take nice morning walks if you so wish. I stayed in the couch one night and in the bunk bed the other. Its an apartment basically and is geared more towards young people for a quick stay vis a vis students or single travellers.
7824307,51393993,2015-10-19,30800697,William,"I had the most fun one could have in a long time. Great group of comers and go'ers, but so much fun. Thank you guys, for contributing to a great fun filled weekend"
6118190,32643532,2015-05-19,9778374,Lucas,"We had a great time in Austin. The house was quaint and in a great location. 

When we walked in there was a bad smell. The manager thought it was from trash from the last people renting it. However, the smell never went away. We bought candles, febreeze, opened windows, but nothing could get rid of the smell. When we left and continued our road trip - the smell had latched onto our clothes and baggage. What ever it was it was strong. 

When I notified the manager about the problem as we were leaving she of course told me she was sorry and wished I had said something during our stay. We realized it was an actual problem and thought that fixing it wouldn't be a quickly solved problem; thus eating into our time in Austin. So we endured and still had a great time.

As long as they get the smell fixed, I would totally recommend staying here if you're looking for a charming, old, simple house.

Thanks."
6118190,40338713,2015-07-30,34932679,Alicia,"This is a great location near downtown Austin! Clean and cool, it was a great home base to beat the Austin heat, especially the fountain in the courtyard. The front porch swing was a treat. Spacious and comfortable, I would definitely stay again. The host was great, and very accommodating. Thank you! "
6118190,43177440,2015-08-17,41109961,Kimber,The house was great and in the perfect location. Enjoyed our stay! Would definitely stay there again. 
6118190,49764677,2015-10-06,4810781,Kelly,"Once we explored the area, we found some gems (good coffee, bagels, a bakery), but they weren't obvious at first. While the place is close to a lot of great stuff, it is a walk or a drive to get there. But the place is gorgeous."
4948909,27011041,2015-02-23,15573225,Rebecca,"If you're in Austin, this place is ideal to stay at. It's got a comfortable, homey feel and close to good food and entertainment.

4948909,28000188,2015-03-16,15353137,Matthew,"Michael was a great host. His house is new, clean and perfect for a family or small group. the house was extremely clean and had a great vibe. I stayed at the house during SXSW and had no problem getting to downtown Austin in under 10 minutes. "
4948909,29746268,2015-04-12,27924291,Kim,"Michael was great! Very easy to deal with and the place was awesome! Very clean, new and lots of space. I would definitely recommend staying here. "
4948909,47626814,2015-09-21,24585984,Alexandra,We had such a great time in Austin and this house was a perfect place to stay. It comfortably accommodated all 7 of us girls and was very spacious and clean. Very close to the airport and all of the other areas we visited. Michael was a pleasure to deal with and took the time to meet us at the house to let us in/give us a tour. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to have a great time in Austin and be able to go back to a quiet beautiful home. 
8647263,51962068,2015-10-25,45940438,Daniel,"This was my first time using AirBnB and it was great! The apartment was really spacious, clean, and comfortable. Anthony was a great host and even had welcoming snacks/gifts for us! Parking was not an issue and Anthony had enough parking tags for all of us. "
666768,20822148,2014-10-06,19538628,Lisa,"Our stay at the studio was delightful!  The location was great to walk to ACL festival.  Neighborhood seemed safe and quiet.  The studio space was very clean and comfortable.   Sharing the bathroom worked out just fine since we seemed to be on different schedules.  Although we did not get a chance to meet our host face to face, she made us feel very welcome and communicated with us via text making sure we felt at home.  We will definitely consider staying here next time we are in town."
666768,21278605,2014-10-14,16955671,Jen,"We stayed at Nessa's because of the perfect walking distance from Zilker for ACL fest, but we were also very pleased with the privacy of having a detached room in back. LOVED the vintage decor and beautiful patio garden area and the bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay again if we had the chance!"
666768,28256217,2015-03-21,10004708,Dominic,Thanks Nessa for a great stay. Very nice place in a safe and quiet neighbourhood with easy access to the express bus that takes you downtown. Very clean and well looked after - everything was well prepared when I arrived :)
666768,49761093,2015-10-06,27855812,Courtney,"Nessa was very welcoming and the studio felt like a home to my friend and I by the end of the trip. The backyard was beautiful and having to use the restroom in the house was no issue at all. We were able to easily walk to Zilker Park and several restaurants, bars and shops. If I visit Austin again this would be the place I would stay!"
666768,50620216,2015-10-13,37683987,Keely,"Nessa gave us step by step instructions. She left us refreshments in the kitchen and everything was very easy to find. The set up of her house really made the stay amazing. We felt like we were at home from the very beginning and did not feel uncomfortable in any way. Before we arrived we were a little wary of having to stay somewhere that did not have a bathroom in the same building, but the bathroom was just a couple steps away.  Even though there was not a bathroom in the studio, there was a big mirror provided to use to get ready.  The house was very warm and welcoming.  We loved the backyard, which is where we spent a lot of time when we were there.  The walk to Zilker park was a pretty good walk, but we did it every time we went except once.  The one time we did not walk we took an Uber and it was only $5.  I would most definitely stay here again and would recommend Nessa and her home to anyone!"
666768,52087829,2015-10-26,14737248,Céline,"Nessa is very nice and kind Person. I havé ben share a very good moments in his apartment and with her, she helped me a lot and has alway attentive and available. Thank you again Nessa, Your my best Airbnb experiance.
The studio is big, comfortable and very clean.
I recommend this place without hesitation!

Nessa est très sympathique et gentille j'ai passé de très bons moments dans son appartement et avec elle, elle m'a beaucoup aidé et a sur se montrer attentive et disponible. Merci encore ! C'est ma meilleure expérience air bnb ! Le studio est grand confortable et très propre. Je vous recommande cet endroit sans hésitation!"
5406766,27623607,2015-03-08,2641543,Jennifer,"Jason and Meredith have a beautiful place and they were both very warm and welcoming to me and my two children.  We had the entire top floor to ourselves - one guest room, a full bath, and a loft area with an air mattress.  We were all comfortable and had what we needed.  I plan to stay here again when we come back through ATX.  "
5406766,28273291,2015-03-21,7446268,Kamau,"If you don't have an aversion or allergies related to pets or awesome people, Jason and Meredith's place is one of the best choices for your stay in Austin. I was in town for an extended stay during the SXSW festival and their place and their hospitality were exactly what I needed to escape the madness - clean, welcoming, and more than cozy. The east side of Austin is full of great restaurants and entertainment. Jason and Meredith had tons of recommendations and did everything they could to ensure that I had a great stay (and so did the pets!). Book it immediately."
5406766,28508248,2015-03-24,15571767,Brad,Jason and Meredith were amazing hosts and extremely responsive with any questions. Their place was super cool and beautifully decorated. AND they have the best pets ever. 
5406766,28963464,2015-04-01,10430951,Amanda,"Jason and Meredith are lovely people as is their home. Amazingly adorable animals (long hair kitties and a quiet dog), spotless home and crazy plush towels! Great communication, relaxed style and very accommodating. Have them explain the alarm system with you well, and you'll be golden! "
5406766,29068560,2015-04-03,10430951,Amanda,Excellent! 
5406766,30090239,2015-04-17,24793173,Roisin,"We really enjoyed our stay at Jason and Meredith's place. The house is beautiful, it is comfortable and really clean. It has everything you would need. They also gave great advice on what to see in Austin and the best places to go for meals or drinks! It's a great place to stay while visiting Austin. "
5406766,30872760,2015-04-28,29167601,Kate,"Jason and Meredith were fantastic. Their home is incredibly nice and comfortable and their pets were sweet and adorable. They also gave great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. It was my first trip to Austin and I enjoyed every minute of it, definitely in part thanks to these great hosts!"

5406766,31602184,2015-05-07,2555603,Taylor,"Wonderful host. Their place is as advertised. I thought it was going to be a little far North for my preference but it was a great neighborhood, easily accessible."
5406766,31893535,2015-05-11,11828810,Aimee,"Jason's house was great, and although we didn't get to meet him on our short trip, he made sure that we could come and go conveniently. The location was great, only a short drive to everything you'd want to see in Austin. If you love comfortable beds and super friendly animals, definitely stay at Jason's."
5406766,34419821,2015-06-08,23595719,Ariane,"They were very fast in responding to communication, excellent directions and instructions. Good location. Spotless home. Sweet animals. 
Comfy bed and we appreciated availability of washing machine and dryer. They shared their coffee! "

Hosts are super awesome, great people. Super close to everything you'll need to do in Austin - which we loved! Thank you so much for and amazing stay. "
5406766,42053800,2015-08-10,25375368,Kristine,"Jason and Meredith were amazing hosts. Their house is so beautiful!!  They made us feel at home and were always available or quick to respond if we had any questions. Great location, it's an easy drive to all the places we went to (SoCo, 6th street, Rainey St, the Capitol, etc). The bed was very comfortable, the shower was very nice, and the room was very spacious. They had adorable and very friendly pets. They did not bother us at all, but if that is something that would bother you, they had a little gate by the stairs so you can keep your privacy. So no problem! I would highly recommend this place. Thanks again Jason and Meredith for an amazing stay!"
5406766,42976693,2015-08-16,35832188,Carmen,"The listing description was accurate.  Beautiful space perfect for our trip to Austin.
The host promptly answered our questions and was very helpful but allowed us to have a private stay.
Highly recommend this space.   We would stay again.
"
5406766,43308652,2015-08-18,356886,Ritu,"Amazing experience, the home was as pictured and listed in details. Both Jason and Meredith are wonderful hosts, they were very welcoming and thoughtful in every little touch. They were accessible and answered questions, made recommendations for local cafes, restaurants and more. The place is better than most 4star hotels I travel for business. It's gorgeous, tasteful, contemporary and separated on a second level to give privacy to the host and the guest. Best deal in town in Austin!"
5406766,47058421,2015-09-15,9925615,Ruby,"Jason and Meridith were kind and welcoming, and their apartment was perfect. Clean, private(upstairs vs downstairs), and gorgeous. Location is excellent, and their animals were
friendly : ) Highly recommend!"
5406766,50640158,2015-10-13,34549152,Ann,My first Airbnb experience and it was great. Our host was amazing and very helpful. Their home was lovely and perfect for my friend and I. We found the location to be very convenient and quick to navigate to all our stops. When I return to Austin I will certainly stay with Jason again. 
5406766,51176412,2015-10-18,25520235,Nolu,Jason and his wife Meredith are fantastic hosts. They welcomed my friends and I into their home with open arms. The room was clean and well decorated. They also have the most adorable and wellbehaved animals. I highly reccomend this property for young travelers who love to learn about other cultures and are excited to explore the city. Thanks Jason and Meredith! 
5406766,51533948,2015-10-21,41801454,Will,"Jason and Meredith made us feel right at home from the moment we walked through the door (as did their very chilled and very friendly pets). They have a lovely home and the guest area (as well as the communal area) was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The house is very close to central Austin and yet still feels like a quiet suburb secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city. Jason and Meredith were excellent hosts and their recommendations for restaurants and attractions were spot-on! They also made sure we could be as private as we wanted whilst also being around for chatting if we felt inclined - all in all, we couldn't ask for more considerate hosts. We would recommend this place in a heartbeat!"
5406766,53187994,2015-11-06,45869732,Ben,"The room itself was great, and Jason and Meredith gracious hosts (they even let me put a few items of laundry in with their washing!), and the dog/cat dynamic was a welcome addition. The area itself made me a little nervous when I first drove in, but I never felt unsafe, and the neighbourhood seemed quite friendly. I was out and about most of the time and travelling solo, but I'm not sure the loft living setup would ideally suit someone who wanted to stay in. Transport was easy with my car/uber (less than $10 into town) and the recommendations for activities/food all spot on. Very friendly and glad I stayed here."
1906190,9432850,2013-12-28,590780,Betsy,"I rented Ben's wonderful one-room garage apt for my parents during their annual Christmas visit. Ben was very helpful during booking process, which was a unusually tricky for us since we had a gravely ill family member at the time. He also got in touch a couple of times to make sure things were satisfactory over the 10-day stay. 

In addition to the info in his listing, I can tell you that the apt is in a super quiet and convenient location (visitors without a car can very easily take the local buses downtown or anywhere; see (website hidden)). It is close to the Shoal Creek Greenbelt for walking--you can go all the way to Lady Bird Lake if you're so inclined. It's just a few blocks to Austin restaurant favorites such as Kerbey Lane Cafe and Russell's Bistro, and a little farther to the Randall's grocery store and lovely Olive & June. 

My parents found the accommodations very comfortable, Ben very nice, and they and I would be happy for them to stay there again next year."
1906190,9506401,2013-12-31,590780,Betsy,"Rented Ben's place for my parents for two stays over the holidays. Please see my first review for details. It worked out great for us, and I believe it would be a great option for just about anyone visiting Austin."
1906190,10262301,2014-02-10,10783580,Katie,This was a great little apartment. We stayed there for a month and had an excellent stay. It is set up very well and has everything you need. It is in a nice quiet little neighborhood near grocery stores and bus lines. Ben was very helpful and helped us with everything we asked for.
1906190,10373773,2014-02-16,12099683,Oliver,Ben's studio apartment exceeded my expectations -- I got there a little early and his wife was more than happy to show me the place. It was incredibly clean and I felt very comfortable during my stay. I would definitely recommend Ben's place to anyone visiting Austin looking for convenience and comfort.
1906190,10463234,2014-02-20,8736535,Larry,Had a great time staying in Benjamin's apartment. It was clean and spacious for two people. The location was perfect for our needs and in a very nice neighborhood. Would stay there again.
1906190,10512114,2014-02-23,11076678,Cris,"Lovely home and neighborhood, Ben and his family were gracious hosts and would go back there again!"
1906190,10556465,2014-02-24,12334255,Amber,"The studio apartment was clean and beautiful! My boyfriend was hesitant and questioning why we didn't just get a hotel, but after walking up and meeting Ben and his family, and then walking into our little place he quickly changed his mind. There was coffee stocked for us in the morning and an array of bath products to use in the bathroom. On the bookcase was a list of places to visit or eat around the neighborhood, being from Austin we didn't have a use for it, but we went through the list nonetheless saying out loud ""yes, that's a great place! Oh yeah Taco Deli should be the first one listed! Or we should go to the Springs while we are visiting!"" We spent our night on the couch watching Netflix and unwinding. It was perfect!!!!

Since I go to Austin a lot for school and to visit I will definitely be renting this place again!"
1906190,10722499,2014-03-04,3168157,Elif,Full disclosure: I didn't stay in Benjamin's place personally but booked it for a friend coming into town. Benjamin was very fast in all his communications with me and helpful. My friend was very comfortable and enjoyed her stay. 
1906190,10754322,2014-03-05,11505726,Jason,"Best place to stay in Austin! Quiet, comfortable, centrally located and easy access. "
1906190,10937502,2014-03-14,2392711,Jack,"We had a great stay, and Benjamin and Laura were great hosts.  Very responsive during booking and also during our stay with things we needed and advice on getting around.  Quiet neighborhood, and convenient to get downtown.  We would recommend staying here.  "
1906190,10982376,2014-03-16,4274510,Steve,"Ben was a great host, he communicated very well and made sure everything was setup for us and was very accommodating. The apartment is a nice clean space above the garage in a quiet neighborhood in the North of Austin. I would definitely look to stay here again for future."
1906190,12916737,2014-05-14,9471930,Mary Beth,"This was my first airbnb experience and I have to say the apartment and host exceeded my expectations. I was in Austin for work and stayed at the apartment for 8 weeks. It was certainly a quiet and relaxing retreat to come home to after work. The apartment itself was very clean, organized, and fully stocked with essential kitchen and bathroom supplies. And did I mention Netflix! The location is also supreme because it is centrally located and walking distance to several bars, restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores. I also enjoyed the apartments proximity to Shoal Creek trail, which you can take all the way to Zilker Park. Ben and Laura were awesome hosts. They were very welcoming, helpful, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Austin and I would definitely stay here again! "
1906190,12985171,2014-05-16,4133889,Megan,Reserved for my parents and they loved it!  
1906190,13069015,2014-05-19,7139492,Toni,"Benjamin provided great communication from the get-go until check-out, often checking to see if we needed anything.  The apartment at Idlewild is situated above the detached garage and very private.  Motion sensor lighting in the yard makes for easy evening navigation to the room.  The room is surrounded by mature trees providing nice shade and natural lighting.  The apartment design includes a wide and sturdy staircase to the room, an open concept with a kitchen dining nook, compact yet full kitchen, tile bath, carpeting, 4 windows, flatscreen TV, internet access, hi-tech easy-to-use digital thermostat and a convenient no-key touchpad deadbolt that reprograms after each checkout.  Great location in a safe, cozy neighborhood.  Great place!"
1906190,13198125,2014-05-21,39829,Michael,"Really great, clean place in a great neighborhood with lots of little details thought out. Highly recommend! Thanks!"
1906190,13402667,2014-05-27,1591898,Matthew,"The apartment was exactly what we needed for our stay in Austin, better than the photos if anything.  Neighborhood is conveniently located, I was able to go for a run on the Shoals Creek trail one morning, and easy drive to anywhere we wanted to go.  Benjamin was a snap to work with and I would wholeheartedly recommend the apartment."
1906190,13620211,2014-06-01,14859658,Sara,This was my first time with Airbnb and Thank God it was a great experience. Ben was a great host! We had a great time and everything was super close! It was quiet and cozy just what we needed! I loved the chicken in the backyard too. It was even quiet! I would come back again anytime.
1906190,13690773,2014-06-02,8146537,Alexandra,"Located in a quiet neighborhood, this super cute and cozy apartment is surely a hidden gem. It is very clean (so much so that I forgot to do my crazy inspection of every nook and cranny) and very comfortable. We were only there for one night so we didn't have an opportunity to utilize the kitchen but it had everything you would need to make a nice home cooked meal. Communication with Ben was effortless and he provided us with all the information that we needed prior to arrival which made check-in and check-out a breeze. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone."
1906190,13945406,2014-06-09,11516533,Elizabeth,House was awesome. Great location. Saw Ben and his family a couple of times. They were very nice and provided good information for our stay. Even provided a small care package for our arrival.  Everything was perfect for us. Definitely recommend. 
1906190,14353346,2014-06-17,15178693,Jennifer,"This is a beautiful, well-kept apartment on a great street. We had a busy schedule while we were in the city and this place was right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. The host was very helpful and responsive to our needs. We highly recommend the property."
1906190,14708231,2014-06-24,3276121,Terry,"We had a great time in Ben's apartment. It is all very clean and new, well outfitted and supplied. The location is also great, in easy reach of lots of great restaurants, close to the expressway, yet quiet. The combination lock door is especially convenient, since there is no key to pass back and forth. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay in Austin."
1906190,15451821,2014-07-09,15631430,Jon,This is a great apartment. Beautifully set out and spacious. Ben sets  up so you feel really at home. It's a great base to explore Austin. I'd suggest you have a car and there is ample parking. I'd happily recommend the apartment to anyone. 
1906190,18048311,2014-08-21,797447,Regina,"I stayed here for over a month and wouldn't hesitate to book it again. It’s the perfect studio apartment for short (and not so short) stays in Austin. The hosts are really great and the place is very comfortable. I loved how peaceful it was - I worked for hours with a view of the trees (and some distracting squirrels) out the window. It’s also perfectly located, even for the bus. "
1906190,18370394,2014-08-25,6397269,Myra,"Very clean, cozy, private, quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.  The host was very good at communicating and was kind enough to provide an air mattress and linen for our daughter's one-night stay.   The beers in the fridge were much appreciated after a long car-ride. Good quality coffee maker and coffee make also much appreciated, as was the wifi and netflix."
1906190,18937398,2014-09-03,2522162,Jason,"We had a great stay at this Austin studio apartment; it was clean, well maintained, & in a perfect location. Benjamin was very friendly & helpful. We'd definitely love to stay here on our next visit!"
1906190,19772606,2014-09-18,12293223,Roger,"My wife and I stayed at this very comfortable apartment for 10 days. The apartment was very clean and everything looked new and fresh. It was very quiet and peaceful, but was also centrally located to everything that you would want to see and do in Austin. Ben also thoughtfully left a recommended list of local grocery stores, restaurants, and even laundromats. He also instantly responded and fixed our wifi connectivity the one time it briefly went down. I would definitely stay here again!
"
1906190,19913021,2014-09-20,256112,Sajjad,"Ben was very easy to work with and has a beautiful home. It was very roomy and airy with lots of natural light. My wife and I and our two toddlers had plenty of space and fun with netflix and hbo on the tv. We used the kitchen and kept food cost down. Over all, we would stay here again. Oh and the location is perfect for any where in Austin. "
1906190,19951008,2014-09-21,3087618,Sonia,"I came in to town for a wedding and stayed at the place for less than a day, but was completely comfortable.  Benjamin was very welcoming, the studio apartment was roomy and comfortable, and it was equipped with a full kitchen, great bed/bath, and Roku/Netflix.  Coming from Los Angeles, I was in awe at how lush Austin is, and the neighborhood around the apartment was quite beautiful.  I rushed to the downtown area in the few hours I had to see the city, so I didn't get a chance to see if there were places around the neighborhood to check out, but the apartment is relatively accessible to all parts of the city, if you have a car.  I'm always looking for writing retreats myself, and long-term, this would be a fantastic place to get some creative work done. "
1906190,20059201,2014-09-22,20917145,Sergio,The place was awesome. Great location. Would definitely stay here again.

1906190,20665432,2014-10-03,21377440,Corey,"I had a truly great time in this apartment while visiting Austin. The listing was accurate, the place was immaculate, the neighborhood was quiet and convenient, and Benjamin was just a text or phone call away if we needed anything. He was very accommodating and always made sure we were satisfied with our arrangements. I would easily and gladly stay here again when visiting the city. A+ all the way."
1906190,20733927,2014-10-05,4981297,Holly,Benjamin left some beer & water for us in the fridge. The Keurig machine is a nice touch! Loved that! He made it easy to check in & out on our schedule. The apartment is great. Very clean & well appointed. My friend & I rented this apartment for ACL weekend 1. We rode our bikes to Zilker & it worked out great. We would definitely stay here again & recommend it to others. It's in a really cute area & there are loads of nearby restaurants & coffee shops to choose from. Benjamin also gave us a wifi password which we weren't expecting but was a nice surprise!
1906190,21332128,2014-10-15,2777278,Candice,The apartment is great and in an area with lots of nearby restaurants & coffee shops.

1906190,21795346,2014-10-24,21940713,Lynn,"Just returned from a 5 night stay at this AWESOME Apt., it was just as described and pictures show it exactly as is, traveling alone I felt completly safe, the location is Great, near plenty of shopping/restaurants and close enough to venture to downtown Austin (which has become my favorite city)! I had the pleasure to meet Ben and his boys on my way in one afternoon, great family! The bed was super comfy, the fully applianced kitchen was great to have! Little secret about the TV remote ~ Just use the controls on the side of the TV, much easier lol! The WiFi worked great as well! I HIGHLY recommend staying here!! "
1906190,22131500,2014-10-30,23070875,Pete,"My wife and I loved our overall stay at Ben's property! We decided to do a last minute, two day ""stay-cation"", and on just a couple of hours notice he had the place ready to go. Ben was very timely with his responses to our questions and gave us very accurate info on the property and our stay.

 This is in a great neighborhood, centrally located to everything you need in Austin. There is a great trail system just down the road that my wife and I spent a couple of hours on. We wouldn't had known about if it weren't for Ben's wife telling us about it. The property is super-clean, comfy, and exactly what we were looking for. We would stay here again!"
1906190,22287278,2014-11-03,4174609,Shirley,"A spotlessly clean and very comfortable apartment.  Exactly as described.

Super communications, and very easy to follow instructions for accessing the apartment, and using the TV and internet.

Would highly recommend."
1906190,23521088,2014-12-03,9382921,Jody,"Laura and Ben were very friendly and made me feel at home.  The apt. was cozy and with the blinds open I felt like I was in a tree house, and I loove tree houses!  It had everything you need, including a delicious apple cider and good Texas beer in the fridge.
The neighborhood is quiet and located near all the activities I enjoy.  Their boys are precious and I enjoyed one warm evening outside playing ball with them."
1906190,23667940,2014-12-07,24424045,William,"The apartment was great, we only stayed one night. Great location, we were able to get to everything. We will stay at the Cross"" again. Great value, great host. Thanks again Benjamin."
1906190,24665250,2015-01-01,24407647,Annie,"I stayed at Ben's place for the entire month of Dec. and I wish I could have extended my stay, but they were already booked.  My stay was awesome, it was relaxing, comfortable, quiet and I always felt safe.  As  new traveling nurse from Ohio, this was my first attempt at AirBNB and it was wonderful.  I highly recommend Ben's place to anyone who needs to work/enjoy all that this area has to offer. I rarely saw the family, but when I did, I enjoyed our chats.  Thanks again for hosting me at your home and making me feel welcome.  Hope to stay there again before I leave Austin !!!"
1906190,27194807,2015-02-28,19129835,Jim,Stayed for two months starting Jan of this year. Great apartment with everything I needed. Owners live in the house next to the garage apartment and were great hosts. Would stay again.

Benjamin was always easy to communicate with, the place was clean and cozy, the location was close to highway and only 10 minutes from downtown & it worked out great for us. Overall, we had a good stay and I recommend this place. "
1906190,27380545,2015-03-02,11588357,Austin,"Ben's apartment was the perfect lodging for a quick trip to Austin. I arrived to an immaculately clean garage apartment, with all the amenities I hope for when staying at an AirBNB. The wifi was insanely fast, and there was free beer in the fridge! I had a wonderful night's sleep, and Ben was very accommodating in allowing me to check out a little bit later than the listed time.

I look forward to staying there again and would absolutely recommend this host to family & friends!"
1906190,27576533,2015-03-08,21936935,Xavier,"Benjamin was a great host, he communicated well and was very attentive to our needs.  We had a wonderful stay at the apartment and I would definitely recommend to stay here."

1906190,28773512,2015-03-30,21572658,Shelagh,"The Cross' apartment was everything we were looking for during our two week stay in Austin.  It is close to restaurants,  grocery stores,  transit routes,  nature trails etc.  The kitchen was stocked with supplies for enjoying meals at home but there are also a few restaurants within walking distance. When we arrived the fridge was stocked with water and beer and a few other necessities. It was so welcoming and nice to relax after a long day of traveling. The neighborhood is very quiet and beautiful to walk around. Downtown and the university are an easy bus ride.  "
1906190,29047681,2015-04-03,22131023,Lori,"This guesthouse was as expected based on the description. It was a good value for the amenities and the location. We were visiting our daughter who is a student at UT, and the guesthouse is only about 5 minutes from campus. It is on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. Our host, Ben was very good about communicating with us and providing all the details we needed for our arrival. Ben and his adorable family, whom we met briefly, were very friendly."
1906190,29412082,2015-04-07,26817644,Corey,Ben did a great job communicating prior to our arrival and had everything ready when we got there - even stocked the fridge with beer. The space was as described and the central location in Austin was very convenient.

1906190,30202486,2015-04-19,18980859,Torie,"A very easy stay. The apartment had plenty of space and was kitted out with everything we needed. We didn't meet our hosts until just before we left, but we hadn't needed them. For those unfamiliar with Austin, worth pointing out that the traffic can be awful so a clear run into town takes 10 mins but it can easily be closer to an hour at bad times."
1906190,31316931,2015-05-04,975365,Tricia,"Had a great experience staying here. The location is great. It's close and easy to get to downtown but in a quiet neighborhood. The place was really clean and comfortable. There was coffee, beer and wine already in the fridge, some toiletries, Netflix, etc. I loved how clean the the place was, we felt right at home staying there and was sad to leave! "
1906190,31629852,2015-05-08,22488325,Tim,"This was our first experience with Airbnb, and it turned out great. The little apartment was perfect for the week we stayed there, and we would have been happy to stay there longer. The room was clean and cool, and very easy to access.

In terms of locations, I thought it was perfect. The neighborhood isn't really within walking distance of much, but we had a car and it wasn't more than a 15 minute drive tops to anywhere we wanted to go.

Great place, would definitely recommend and would stay there again if we're ever back in town."

1906190,39883691,2015-07-26,446617,Christina,"Ben's apartment was the perfect accommodation for my husband, 17month old daughter, and I. We booked it for Friday and Saturday and were in and out quite a bit. We always had easy access and it was nice to come back to cold bottled water in the fridge, along with other refreshments Ben was kind enough to leave. The apartment had plenty of space for us to cook, dine, and relax in and my daughter enjoyed the large living space. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone coming to the Austin area! "

1906190,46558151,2015-09-11,419617,Sarah,Loved my stay at this adorable garage apartment in one of the most charming neighborhoods Austin has to offer. A great deal for the perfect location. 
1906190,46880791,2015-09-14,607320,Amelia,"We loved staying here! I liked having the personalized keypad deadbolt to feel safe (we're from Chicago, we like to feel secure!). Benjamin had stocked the fridge with some drinks to welcome us, which were great to have after arriving late at night from the airport. The thermostat was easy to figure out and kept us feeling comfortable the whole weekend. The street itself is pretty dark, but they have a motion-sensor light outside of the apartment which helps a lot. Benjamin was extremely quick to respond to questions before and throughout the stay. Very nice and accommodating. Thanks!"
1906190,47534494,2015-09-20,34512154,Karin,"My experience staying with Benjamin was great! I highly recommend his apartment and would love to stay here again next time I am in Austin.

1906190,52040308,2015-10-26,34432978,Glenn,"Lovely place, great location. Nice and quiet but close to a couple of great places and very easy to use the buses/uber to get to downtown Austin. All you need under one roof, good kitchen and shower too., very clean and lots of space. Aircon works well and was nice to have a retreat to get cool in again!
Keyless entry is a good idea as well, saves you having to hunt for keys when you get back. No hesitation to book when in town again."

I only stayed for a night since it was a quick trip, but it fit the bill very well. Jeddy was there to greet me and show me the unit. Also, he was nice enough to show me a great place to eat. He's an oustanding person and the place was great for me. It's a stones throw away from UT."

8240788,51638785,2015-10-22,37109676,Finn,Jeddys place was absolutely perfect! The building was new and the rooms were clean. Everything was spotless and worked just as described. Parking was really convenient just under the building. That was a major plus. The room was a good size I could see it fitting 4 comfortably anymore would be tight but still doable. The location rocked! Just a short drive or uber to all sorts of cool stuff! I'd recommend checking out the spider house cafe. It was like a 3 minute drive from the apartment and had a really cool vibe. For being near the university it was surprisingly quiet! Overall this was an amazing value. I'd recommend staying here any day! Thanks Jeddy!!

The room, and house overall, was really nice and clean. Julian gave us complete access to the accommodations listed; washer, dryer, kitchen, etc. The home was a beautiful and relaxing environment that had us smiling upon each return. It is also close to downtown and the University of Texas!

My boyfriend and I fully recommend Julian and his wonderful abode!"
5499806,30371775,2015-04-20,3979482,Danilo,Julian was great. What a great host and I will be staying here again in the future!

5499806,48845143,2015-09-28,37088309,Alexis,"Julian made me feel very welcome and also gave me the peace and quiet I was looking for! He was very friendly and easy to chat with. It was very comfortable and modern. There was a super soft bed and nice towels, too! I also had a time management mishap with the stay and he was very accommodating. I will definitely stay again if ever need be(:"
5499806,50632771,2015-10-13,32032741,Derek,The listing description was accurate and Julian made us feel very welcome. He rocked!
1717090,8570040,2013-11-05,9129330,Christian,We found the location fabulous and the accommodation was perfect!
1717090,10899396,2014-03-12,9723907,Matt,"Large, clean, great neighborhood, easy walk to 6th. Stayed here for SXSW and would do it again in a heartbeat. Great place!"
1717090,11044557,2014-03-18,10663130,Adam,"We loved this condo. There were 3 of us and we had plenty of space. Everything we needed was provided in this welcoming home. Super clean. 
We were in town for SXSW and the location was perfect. Minutes from all the action but the neighborhood was quiet and it felt like we were in a different town away from the festival when we wanted to relax. We rented bikes for the week and  it only took 5 minutes to get into the mix. I would highly recommend this property anytime of the year. "
1717090,17518266,2014-08-13,17573076,Susan,"Loved, Loved, Loved our 4 week stay at this condo in Austin!  What a location!!  We were there for our daughter's performances at the Long Center...and it was just 5-10 minutes away (unless it was 5:00 on a weekday!!)  Lamar is just down the hill!  Several restaurants within walking distance, along with the Graffiti Park...so fun!!  The condo was relaxing and comfortable!   There were 4 of us, and we had lots of visitors..Linda had plenty of linens and air mattresses and lots of room for them!!  We were sad to leave...it felt like home!"
1717090,18779434,2014-08-31,20734459,Alexis,Linda's condo was great and she was very accommodating to our group. We booked later in the day for the same evening and she was quick to respond and get us taken care of! We will definitely call upon her again! 
1717090,20256705,2014-09-26,13718545,Andrew,The place was actually much nicer and bigger than the photos appeared. 
1717090,20823175,2014-10-06,13819919,David,This location was perfect for walking to 6th str and also Zilker. They are right around the corner from a great coffee shop. Nice rooms and plenty of space. We had to be creative for four guys to stay.  
1717090,21195729,2014-10-13,8955800,Alex,Great location! Wonderful condo! Was a great space to enjoy time with friends over the ACL weekend.
1717090,21535985,2014-10-19,16641988,Robin,Everything was fine and as described. Very roomy and clean house.
1717090,22228032,2014-11-02,19264699,Stephanie,"Fantastic condo close to downtown Austin but away enough for quiet at night time. Condo feels larger than pictures, and definitely a comfortable size for 4 people. Everything was clean and we really appreciated the info binder with food recommendations and 24 hour locations nearby. 

Minor issue of Internet not working when we first arrived, however, a quick message to Linda and everything was fixed by the best morning. The lights on the front porch were not working,.. A minor issue overall. A great place to stay!!"
1717090,22560967,2014-11-09,21361242,Ushma,"The condo was fine, however, was very dusty and looked like it hadn't been used in a while. Also, no clear instructions were given on how to access the key, where the condo unit was located, and also how to shut off garage code. In addition, it was a little confusing on where to put sheets/towels after our stay. WiFI did not work the whole time - tried to contact host but she did not respond. This condo needs updating. "
1717090,25407205,2015-01-15,4409659,Wade,"I have mixed feelings about our stay at Linda's townhouse. We stayed for a month and that contributes to my opinion, for a short stay I may have had a stronger recommendation of this property.

The property is within a 5-10min walk of several cafes, restaurants, and shops. Within 20mins walk you can be downtown. It is a good place to stay if you don't have a car.

The photos are accurate, the house is rather modest but relatively comfortable for a small group.

Another review mentioned the house was dusty and I found this was the case on our visit too, particularly the bathroom.

The oven was had a lot of burnt residue, this was the first time I've had to clean an oven in an Airbnb property. 

There are a few small things to consider before staying here:
-The hot water has a tendency to run out
-The sun hits the front bedroom with so much light and heat in winter to make it very warm and stuffy, in summer this could be uncomfortable even with the a/c.
-The kitchen lacks an exhaust fan over the oven which makes the kitchen smoky even with the window open.
-The bed in the second bedroom is rather small and could be uncomfortable for two people.
-The internet is not reliable. 
-On warmer days many ladybugs are drawn to the sunlight and crawl on the ceiling. 
-The fridge leaks inside (put a cup inside to collect the water)

We had a few smaller problems during our stay and Linda sent over her handyman to check them out, they were resolved to the best of his ability. 

Linda is easy to get in contact with although we never met her as she lives out of town."
1717090,28199031,2015-03-20,11240227,Macy,"Linda was very helpful and informative about local attractions, and made the experience a breeze. She was wonderful to deal with and I appreciated her recommendations. "
1717090,28406302,2015-03-23,15766448,Henry,"This was a terrific unit.  It was spacious and conveniently located.  Also, the Castle Hill graffiti park is right down the street.  Thanks, Linda."
1717090,31265349,2015-05-03,32097240,Tim,"Nice place to stay, close to a lot of popular spots."
1717090,44042055,2015-08-23,19653994,Jordan,"Great house, great location exactly as advertised"
1717090,47745246,2015-09-21,41678219,Bennett,"First, the good. The place was convenient and close to all the sights and activities. Nice and cozy and easy to get in and out. Neighborhood was very quiet. Linda was nice and helpful.

However, it is hard pressed to really fit four adults into this location. The second bed was really too small to fit two adults. Couch is too short to fit adult and orange air mattress was a little short to fit an adult. The other blue mattress was leaking and deflated in the middle of the night. Three adults and one child would be a reasonable expectation."
1717090,49593463,2015-10-05,18870651,Charles,Had a great weekend staying at this AirBNB. Nothing fancy and great location. It was comfortable and we had everything we needed.
1717090,50431410,2015-10-12,34455177,Katie,"We stayed here for the second weekend of ACL.  It was a great location for getting around Austin and for the festival.  Even with the surge charges for Uber, it wasn't bad.  

The condo was perfect for our needs!  Linda was very responsive and helpful whenever I had questions...and I feel like I had a lot!  

I'd definitely recommend it!"
1717090,52036425,2015-10-26,23490914,Jorgen,"A very nice house with a really good location. Linda was very accomodative and service minded. 

We will definetly stay there again. "
5640159,46850668,2015-09-13,34352819,John,"Victor was a great host, with a lovely apartment. Facilties in the apartment building are great as well!"
5640159,46998137,2015-09-14,33210733,Sonny,"The apartment was great! Just as described. Victor was very efficient with the check-in/check-out process and was very flexible with times. The area was primarily students, but it stayed relatively quiet even for it being a game day weekend. I will certainly be staying here again next time I'm in the West Campus area.  "
5640159,47601154,2015-09-20,1929968,Jay,Victor was very accommodating on short notice. Apart was clean and in a great location 
5640159,47826873,2015-09-21,43683981,Derek,"Victor was great. My buddies and I were at the endurance race at COTA and couldn't check in till about 10pm. He met us at the front of the complex and walked us in to the apartment. He gave us suggestions where to go and we decided to choose Rainey (great decision). The apartment was clean and checkout was a breeze. Initially, I had my doubts how good/quiet a student apartment would be for a night, but we thoroughly enjoyed our time in this neighborhood. "
5640159,47949529,2015-09-21,14596519,Ari,"Victor was very friendly and a great host, and the apartment was just as specified. Definitely enjoyed my stay"
5640159,48638886,2015-09-27,44763737,Dennis,Victor was always responsive when was looking for a place to stay. Check-in and Check-out were simple. My checkout was even fairly late (10pm) and he was able to accomodate that. The apartment itself is right near the UT campus so there are lots of places within walking distance. Additionally downtown is a short ride/walk away.
5640159,49359485,2015-10-03,7568031,Nick,"Victor's place is great, would definitely stay again."
5640159,49658753,2015-10-05,24842439,Glynnis,"Victor greeted me and my friend warmly, and told us everything we needed to know about the property. Its located in West Campus, close to UT Greek housing, but that wasn't a problem. We were able to walk to Starbucks, and all the restaurants available on the drag. "
5640159,50655018,2015-10-13,1929951,Stanley,Victor is a great host. He was extremely nice and very accommodating. His place was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this place.
5640159,50820991,2015-10-14,39534116,Benjamin,Great place to stay! The apartment is in a nice area and very secure access to the building. Victor was an excellent host and the location is extraordinary.
5640159,51101579,2015-10-17,20700700,Carlos,Great! Viktor provided all necessary information. If three people want to stay in Austin I think this place will be awesome! 
5640159,51317993,2015-10-19,40627672,Srini,"Had a great time. Victor welcomed us, showed around the building and facilities and explained everything available to us in the apartment. The facilities were as expected. Great neighborhood next to UT."
5640159,51847304,2015-10-24,18128595,Paul,"Victor is friendly and personable and gave me some helpful tips for things to see in Austin. 
The place is conveniently located to downtown Austin and is clean and tidy. "
5640159,52751894,2015-11-01,29123831,Samantha,"Great communication, place as described. Thank you for everything. "
5640159,52854478,2015-11-02,32974089,Zuky,"Victor was welcoming and friendly. Apartment is as pictured - simple, but does has your essentials. Didn't use the amenities, but they looked great!  Close proximity to UT and several restaurants.

Parking may be an issue if you book during special events. Otherwise, I think you should be fine! :) "
5640159,53095754,2015-11-04,39745,Nan,"Victor, the host, is really accommodating. I had delays in getting there and he happily adjusted. The apartment is a utilitarian answer to lodging needs in a high demand neighborhood. Very safe, has a pool, and felt like being back in college many moons ago. "
5640159,53303215,2015-11-07,27970568,Jamie,"Victor was extremely easy to work with, and he graciously dealt with my flight delays.

The apartment is located perfectly for UT stuff, and is only an 8-minute Uber from the convention center downtown. The condo building has a surprisingly good gym."
6432177,50548414,2015-10-12,44163853,Audrey,Could not have been happier! Such a wonderful space in a lovely neighborhood with a very welcoming and accommodating host! Thank you so much! We love Austin & Stephanie's Airbnb! Audrey & Heather
6432177,51346237,2015-10-19,7008857,Gilbert,"We highly recommend staying here.  The hosts had everything set up, very clean, very private, excellent experience for the two of us in every way."
6643982,37205754,2015-07-05,654148,Helana,"Ria sent lots of tips and notes before we arrived, which was super helpful. The location was perfect! It was very clean, cute, and had all of the amenities we needed. Also, the apartment is central and close to South Congress, Downtown, South Lamar and The Greenbelt so great for driving or taking ubers cars. "
6643982,44933579,2015-08-30,21467026,Blanca,Ria's place was very clean and cozy.  Excellent location.  
6643982,45686764,2015-09-05,40122870,Kathy,"The space was private, affordable, and close to areas of town that, as a visitor, I wanted to see. Ria was friendly and made the experience very easy. "
6643982,49591058,2015-10-05,33082214,Jessica,"Ria was a very thoughtful and friendly host. I did not get to meet her in person, unfortunately. But she made us feel welcome in her place and her apartment was very nice and just like she described. We really appreciated the little treats she left for us. I would definitely recommend her place for a stay in Austin! It was close to restaurants and minutes away from Zilker Park (we went to Austin to attend ACL). Great host, great location, great apartment, great experience."
1809693,10930849,2014-03-13,3314335,Frederic,Great room and great host ! The view on the river is fantastic and you have everything you need. The big plus: it is walking distance from SXSW events and is just 2 minutes walk from a great area with lots of bars and small restaurants.
2492407,13460456,2014-05-27,15531167,Patricia,"Unfortunately, I only have two thumbs, but if I had more, they would all be up for this place. Not only was Steve's historic cottage adorable, it was very comfortable, private, and close to everything. I felt right at home from the moment I walked up onto the house's cozy porch, and have nothing but rants and raves to say about my experience here! Steve and Monica were very helpful and easy to get in touch with, and gave us our privacy yet invited us to socialize with them. I wish I could live here...seriously. Staying here was a great decision and made for a fun weekend in Austin."
2492407,15381839,2014-07-07,6825191,Kassie Mae,"AMAZING!  We had a really phenomenal time at this adorable cottage.  The hosts, Steve and Monica, were away for one of the nights we visited, but were super responsive and helpful even while away.  The cottage was perfectly sized, with a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom.  And the bed is super comfy!  The fun and eclectic decor made us feel right at home, and gave me some inspiration for my own house.  It was most comfortable and very cool.  You have access to their lofted deck, which was great and comfortable, even in the heat of July.  And their cat sanctuary was awesome.  The neighborhood was safe and located with easy access to almost everything within a 5 minute drive.  We absolutely love cats, so we very much enjoyed that they have a cat sanctuary.  You can interact with the cats as much or as little as you like--they are a little skittish, but will let you pet them if you sit still.

Overall, I think this is the best home away from home experiences I have ever had.  I would absolutely, 100% stay here again for future trips to Austin and would highly recommend anyone else to stay here as well!  If I could give it 100 stars I would."
2492407,19300772,2014-09-09,15834965,Sean T,"Hands down our best airbnb experience. My girlfriend and I both felt we could have permanently lived here we enjoyed our time so much. Steve and Monica are the friendliest people in a city full of friendly and welcoming people. Not only was the place clean, comfortable and a joy to stay in, Steve and Monica helped us out with everything we needed. From lending us bikes, offering to do laundry and allowing us a late checkout to giving us restaurant tips. An amazing experience. I would totally recommend this place to all my friends!"
2492407,19914419,2014-09-20,19329172,Deena,"Steve is an amazing host. He was there when we arrived and showed us around his funky cottage- so much character! They have such a fun style and the cottage was stocked with coffee, water, etc to make us feel right at home.  Also we were able to borrow their bikes which was a huge plus for traveling around Austin!"
2492407,20068177,2014-09-22,13042326,Lindsay,"Steve and Monica were perfect hosts. Their tiny cottage was so eclectic and unique! They paid close attention to every detail making it so whimsical.  There were so many excellent restuarants, (The Salty Sow is phenomenal) trendy coffee shops and in a really cool up and coming neighborhood. (We enjoyed just walking around looking at all the cool new home designs). If we could have stayed longer we surely would have. We would love to stay here on a future visit and we highly recommend their cottage! We also loved the kitty cats!!!!"
2492407,21234627,2014-10-13,21690801,Yudi,Steve and Monica were both very personable and their place is fantastic! So much character into every nook and cranny. I would definitely recommend their place to anyone that I know.
2492407,21370084,2014-10-15,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"Can't say enough great things about Steve & Monica's back cottage. It's funky and unique in the best possible way. We loved their sense of design, use of the space, and sweet kitty friends everywhere. They're both very sweet, smart people, as well. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to enjoy the goodness that is East Austin!"
2492407,21554916,2014-10-19,22377287,Tyler,"We really enjoyed our stay at Steve & Monica's cottage -- the bed was comfortable, we had a good time just hanging out on the deck, which catches some nice breezes. The cats are everywhere in the yard and we liked spending time with them, too. We weren't exactly sure when we would arrive so it was great that our hosts were flexible about checking in. There is a nice coffee shop just down Chicon and several good places to eat in the vicinity -- a decent walk or very short drive away. We mostly kept to ourselves during our stay but Steve was friendly and helpful the one time we ran into him. If we get back to Austin we'd definitely try to stay here again."
2492407,21969119,2014-10-27,2834950,Carissa,"This place is truly unique. It has so much style, and it's comfortable and peaceful, too. The cats on the property are just as eclectic as the house, and they are really cute (they mostly keep to themselves, though you'll have an audience every time you walk along the path to the cottage, which I found really funny). Monica and Steve exemplify Austin hospitality and make the check-in/checkout process easy. Not only would I return, I would gladly move in here.  "
2492407,22667717,2014-11-11,11202674,Ethan," My wife and I stayed at Steve and Monica's cool little cottage for a weekend getaway. It was the perfect place for our adventure! It's a quirky and cute little house, interestingly stylized but not over the top and with all the basic amenities that one would want. Steve and Monica are clearly really cool and creative people, and the property is filled with all kinds of interestingly designed stuff, including a chill deck that is nice for relaxing after a day of exploring the city.

 Moreover, they provide a whole bunch of extra stuff that make it feel like home, including beverages in the fridge and two awesome bikes that we used to explore the city. 

They were really helpful, had plenty of good recommendations, and were super nice.

Ideal airbnb hosts in my view; awesome place to stay.

"
2492407,26693666,2015-02-17,16105623,Timothy,"Everything about this place was rad, especially the décor. All the small details were amazing. Steve and Monica's place exceeded all my expectations. They definitely raised the bar for a hip places to stay in Austin. Or anywhere, really."
2492407,27079174,2015-02-24,15573225,Rebecca,"This was a sweet, cozy little spot close to the city social life. Friendly hosts and wonderful city. 

If you want a comfortable place to stay while you're in Austin, TX then this would be the spot for you. "
2492407,27783345,2015-03-11,4733084,Lanakila,"Steve and Monica were the best hosts I have had to date. The cottage was incredibly cute and perfect for our stay in Austin. It was close to everything and decorated to perfection. Its the perfect place for 2 in Austin, we would definitely come back. Thanks so much Steve and Monica!"
2492407,28123580,2015-03-18,7408231,Bryan,"Steve and Monica were such welcoming, wonderful hosts, and the cottage is such a great little oasis. I came down for SXSW and it was really nice to get to come back to their place and unwind. There's a lot of little personal touches they added that are really great, and in general they just made me feel welcome and relaxed in an otherwise hectic, wild week. I highly recommend it. Bonus points; it's near a lot of cool spots, including Hillside Farmacy, Laundrette & Blue Dahlia. "
2492407,28825437,2015-03-30,28877309,Monica,We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Steve and Monica's Tiny Cottage. We had everything we needed and Steve was very accommodating. The location is superb for anyone who wants to be in the middle of all that the east side has to offer. And the local feline wildlife was a huge plus. We will definitely be coming back to the Tiny Cottage again in the future. 
2492407,29342236,2015-04-06,22576357,Frankie,"The place is adorable! Steve and Monica are nice and we really had a good time. The location is good, not far from UT and downtown. Lovely cats!"
2492407,30340134,2015-04-20,4873907,Katie,"Would absolutely stay here again! Check in/out was a breeze, the place was funky and so well decorated. Very clean too. Location was accessible to many things while being far enough away from noise -perfect! I loved the kitties and my boyfriend (who is allergic to cats) did not have any difficulties with his allergies; they keep to themselves outside. 
I went for a run outside down a path that led to the river and we checked out some of their recommendations on places to eat - all great. Had a wonderful time and hope to return soon!"
2492407,32115948,2015-05-14,2421892,Amba,Steve and Monica are such lovely friendly hosts. They made us feel right at home in their cute little cottage. Jill and the rest of the cats also took good care of us. We had a great time in Austin particularly on the East side. Would definitely recommend staying here! 
2492407,32635431,2015-05-19,28934844,Nicole,"This was our first Airbnb experience and it was perfect!  We had a super early arrival and they thankfully greeted us at 6:30 a.m. to let us in to our adorable & super comfy cottage.  We spent most of our time enjoying the city so we didn't see Monica & Steve much but they were always a quick text message away with great tips on where to eat and where to catch some live music.  This was a perfect location, only a quick $5-7 Uber ride to anywhere downtown.  Would definitive go back, even if only to stay at the cottage & eat some more star wars mac & cheese!!!  The cottage is very eclectic, quirky and we LOVED the decor.  Bed is very comfy, it is quiet, private and clean.  Highly recommend!!"
2492407,34576989,2015-06-09,2166301,Hellen,"Steve and Monica's cottage was pretty much the perfect place to stay while my boyfriend and I were in Austin.  When I first arrived, they both came out to greet me and show me around; they were incredibly friendly and helpful, even provided a can of mosquito repellent (which I needed, badly), and generously offered use of their bikes.  The grounds are covered in lush green plants, awesomely quirky decor (one of the concrete stepping stones is a giant quarter!) and dozens of sleepy lethargic feral cats; this was some Miyazaki-level magic here.

The cottage itself was cozy and comfortable for the two of us; the AC worked well (thank GOD), the bathroom was spotless, the kitchen cute and stocked with all manner of cookware, snacks, bottled water.  Serendipitously, the countertop featured a pattern illustrated by a good friend of ours; we took it as an incredibly auspicious sign.

Obviously, we have to stay here again when we return to Austin. It was seriously the best!!!"
2492407,46221007,2015-09-08,42792154,Audrey,"Steve and Monica made our trip to Austin seamless! They are gracious hosts and took effort to make us feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend their cottage! They have friendly cats that chill outside and leave the guests alone. Steve and Monica let us borrow their bikes to ride around Austin too! I highly recommend their cottage to anyone wanting to stay in a safe, hip, and private bed & breakfast in Austin. "
2492407,47882704,2015-09-21,12846153,Timothy,"The gold standard for hosts, Monica and Steve are generous, thoughtful and supremely cool. What a magical hide away! We made all of our friends jealous with pics and stories of our cool spot in Austin. Thanks for the great recommends, the bikes and conversation. We'll never stay anywhere else in Austin!"
2492407,48782492,2015-09-28,18198331,Mandi,"We had such a great time in this wonderful little place. Steve and Monica are so sweet and helpful. The place is so clean, unique and quiet. Close to everything yet it feels like you aren't in the city. We would defiantly recommend this place to anyone and would love to stay again.  "
2492407,49649411,2015-10-05,4661569,Andrea,"From start to end we had the loveliest time. The house was beautiful, clean and exactly as described. No detail was sparred from cool drinks, coffee and toiletries. And where to begin with the decor, one of a kind!!! We especially enjoyed the bikes that were provided. Thank you so much for making a fun weekend even better!"
2492407,50633969,2015-10-13,21617204,Kelsey,This little cottage was absolutely perfect. It was so cute and exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway in Austin! The location is perfect and just a short drive to anything and everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again! 
2492407,51457692,2015-10-20,2834950,Carissa,"Another fun stay at Steve and Monica's. They are great hosts—friendly, organized, easy to reach, and flexible with check-in and checkout times. We hope to return soon!"
2492407,52297485,2015-10-27,18117748,Dave,"I can't say enough good things about Steve & Monica. Even though our interaction was brief they made us feel right at home from the get go. They came out in the (very rare) Austin downpour to great us when we got there. The cottage was amazing, perfect for 2 people. Cute and rustic with some very wonderful attentions to detail (check out the countertops in the kitchen). We will definitely be back, hopefully soon. 

Please note that once you start petting Jill (one of the many cats on the property) you will quickly realize that trying to stop is all but a futile choice unless you like getting your blood drawn. That aside she's an amazing kitty and I wouldn't have it any other way."
3685441,16592747,2014-07-29,18759279,Linnea,"Our highest recommendations! Super cute cottage that contained all comforts we could think of. We had such good four nights here. It is located in between s Congress and s 1st street which both have a lot to offer. Really good music venues, restaurants, second hand shops, food trucks and cafés, all in walking distance. Marcos was the most perfect host. We felt so welcomed and though we had all privacy in our own little cottage, he was always quick to help with guidance and happy to recommend the best places. Thanks to him we felt at home immediately and got the best out of our days in Austin. Would love to come back one day!"
3685441,16813824,2014-08-02,2695647,Franklyn,"Really good location right in between 1st and South Congress. All parts of FUN Austin are basically walking distance or an  easy bus ride - I walked to Long Center for Performing Arts in 25 minutes. 
Marcos is a dear, gentle man who does everything he can to make sure your stay is comfy and convenient. 
The place is rustic and small.  This is not the place to romanticly show off for your g/f.  However, as a single dude who just wanted a place to lay my head down at night, and shower from time to time - it was perfect. Well lit and well air - conditioned. (I even turned OFF the a/c one night because it cooled so well.) I even enjoyed my stay in Austin, that I extended my visit by one extra night. 
Great choice for me to just lay back and unwind anytime I was ready to put my shopping bags down, or rinse off after kayaking at the nearby Town Lake."
3685441,19777887,2014-09-18,19415716,Mark,"I stayed in this location for an extended stay, around a month and a week.  This place was great!  It was all that I needed to get on my feet after moving to Austin on short notice.  It's not a large room, but I loved having my own bathroom, shower, and sink.  The bed was comfy.  Marcos is really nice, and made sure I felt at home.  There was even some beer in the minifridge!  And the location is awesome!  I'm going to miss the short commute to work and downtown, haha!

That said, only a few things stuck out in my mind.  The AC was a little underpowered, but then again I was staying right in the dead center of summer, and it really only got warm inside in the afternoon, the mornings and evenings were great.  Bugs got in, kind of a regularly, mostly harmless clickbeetles though.  I solved it by placing traps near the door, that pretty much handled it after that.

Thanks again Marcos!"
3685441,20968523,2014-10-08,2625070,Bo,"The location, minutes from South Congress, is just perfect and waking up in the morning with the sound of birds, sitting on your own little porch is something already missed!"
3685441,21601841,2014-10-20,6212630,James,"Marcos is extremely accommodating, friendly, and non-intrusive. I could recommend the place just based on my pleasant interactions with him, but here goes: The small, private cabin is more or less what you expect from the listing. It’s not high-luxury. As someone mentioned, not the kinda place you take your lover for a romantic getaway. A/C blows reasonably cold, space heater works great. Towels, shampoo, body wash, soap, even some food/beer/wine was included – he’s even got travel size stuff that’s yours for the using/taking. Other reviewers mentioned bugs – I did run into a few here and there, but again, you’re in a cabin in a back yard. Bed wasn’t the best, but sleepable. Plastic mattress cover makes things a bit sweaty if you’re a hot sleeper and the sheets/pillows are meh too. Location is great, with humongous grocery store easily walkable and bars/coffee/food very close by. I’d stay here again."
3685441,21952422,2014-10-27,21014412,Robin,"What a wonderful little space! Quiet, private and relaxing! If you are looking for fancy, check into a hotel. If you are looking for a welcoming, comfortable space conveniently located to the downtown area, this is it!  We absolutely loved it!
"
3685441,22906920,2014-11-17,1504346,Jonathan,"Marcos is an awesome host. He provided for a space as if he were traveling there himself. He left food in the fridge, toiletries, extra blankets...I had everything I needed in that quite little cottage. Definitely little. "
3685441,24011165,2014-12-16,4649195,Leanne,"Marco was a lovely, friendly and accommodating host. The central location was perfect for my stay, and the cottage was very private as described. It's not glamorous but comfortable and convenient in a great neighbourhood. The laundry facilities were also much appreciated. Thank you!"
3685441,24279697,2014-12-24,13124159,David,We had an amazing experience with Marcos. The cottage was everything expected. A+ all the way. Will be staying there again.
3685441,24648273,2015-01-01,5259082,Rachel,I would absolutely recommend staying with Marcos. He was extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure that the space provided met every need we could possibly have. The neighborhood was very safe and there was a bus stop nearby. 
3685441,25106646,2015-01-06,5152178,Meg,"Marcos was a great host! The place was exactly as pictured and advertised. We had a great time, and would definitely stay here again."
3685441,25388138,2015-01-14,5775404,Rob,Had a great time staying at Marcos' back yard cottage. The listing is an accurate description of the space--so no need for me to go into further detail. Marcos is a friendly and attentive host. I was in town for bicycle racing and was able to ship my bike directly to the house and it was there waiting when I arrived. I was especially thankful for the added bonus of the washer and dryer(which are under a covered exterior patio and extremely easy to access) as this allowed me to pack lightly. I will definitely recommend this place to friends and look into staying here again next time I'm in Austin. 
3685441,25771951,2015-01-25,21869909,Judy,"Marcos was  a great host, had the heat running when I arrived, since the day was somewhat cold.  He had coffee and English muffins available for my use, this  came in very handy for breakfast. 
The place is small, but has all the needed  basic. The location is great I was able to walk to South Congress and jog along 1st street.  

"
3685441,25903996,2015-01-29,24987112,Jeff,"Marcos was a great, incredibly informative and welcoming host. The cottage was exactly as described. Great location, within walking distance of tons of great live music venues, restaurants, food trucks, etc. Very easy access to downtown. I would definitely stay here again."
3685441,26321608,2015-02-09,26496532,Chelsea,"Marcos was lovely and made me feel right at home. He respected my privacy while also making me feel welcome to let him know if I needed anything. The space is just as described; small but comfortable. It's not necessarily a place to hang out in but is a perfect place to rest your head at night. Thank you, Marcos! "
3685441,26595506,2015-02-16,222248,Greg & Orpha,"Marcos was very welcoming and had a lot of very helpful recommendations for a few first timers to the city. His cabin is very well located, easily walk-able to South 1st and Congress streets and a quick bike ride into downtown of Zilker park. The cabin was quite comfortable for two for a long weekend. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here. "
3685441,26976866,2015-02-23,12481043,Howard,Good location. Room as described/pictured. Welcoming and thoughtful host. Would stay again.
3685441,27621144,2015-03-08,7759741,Amelia,Marcos was a perfect host.  The studio apt is simple but well appointed.  There was plenty of heat and hot water and there is a kitchen table and desk in addition to a comfy chair.  The location is ideal -- right between South Congress and South First Street.  I'll be staying there again next time I am in town.   
3685441,27760749,2015-03-11,16518108,Karin,"Marcos was a great host and we really enjoyed staying in his cottage. Austin was very cold during our stay and Marcos had the heater on when we arrived and he had bought breakfast for us. Everything you need is there in the cottage! 

We used Marcos bikes for getting around Austin. They both worked really well. We spent a lot of time on 1st street five minutes bike ride away (Bouldins creek café for vegan food and lots of food trucks).

Marcos is a very nice guy we had good communication before the stay . He gave us good advice about transportation. This is a place we'd really recommend.
"
3685441,28166568,2015-03-19,321188,John,Great location and a great host. The place was exactly as described. I'd stay here again.
3685441,28936813,2015-04-01,1131904,Ellen,"Marcos' cottage was great! Centrally located and within walking distance to a huge variety of restaurants, food trucks, shops, and bars, yet (fortunately!) on a quiet residential street with ample parking and shade. The room was exactly as advertised and Marcos went out of his way to put some oj, coffee, and muffins and bagel out for me.
I arrived earlier than I expected, and Marcos was willing to let me in sooner than we had planned just a day before, which I appreciated as I had obligations to attend to nearby right after my arrival.
I would not hesitate to stay here again- affordable, clean, climate controlled (though open windows were perfect for me in march), and safe... and with a generous host to boot."
3685441,29634722,2015-04-10,9541492,Jonathan Brent,Marcos was one of the most amazing hosts I have ever stayed with.  His kindness was truly incredible. I would recommend staying with him highly!
3685441,29818478,2015-04-13,26358416,Theron,"This is a great place to stay! The cottage is pleasant, the location is terrific with easy access to the best parts of the city, and Marcos is friendly and hospitable."
3685441,30414709,2015-04-21,30654773,Michael,"I had a great experience staying here! Marcos was super-friendly and provided more than everything I needed. It's a great neighborhood too--close to downtown but quiet, lush, and full of birds. I will definitely try to stay here again the next time I'm in Austin! "
3685441,30634761,2015-04-25,97485,Patricia,"Marco is a friendly, pleasant man who took the time to show us a map and explain a little bit about Austin.  We had a nice chat when we first arrived. Otherwise, he let us have our privacy. The cottage was well stocked with coffee, tea and breakfast necessities such as fruit, juice, and English muffins. Marco's quiet, shady yard was a great respite from  downtown  Austin. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the early morning and evening to listen to the birds and watch the  fireflies. We had a great time. Thanks, Marco!"
3685441,30987740,2015-04-30,6548724,Warren,"Marcos was very welcoming.  I would stay here again. Very quiet area. Great location centrally located between downtown, airport and convention hotels. Austin is a great city and Marcos was a great host. Thanks!!!"
3685441,31459171,2015-05-05,10433921,Lindsay,"Marcos was an excellent host! So knowledgeable about the area, helpful and friendly, but also respectful of privacy. 

The cottage was as described/pictured--it is definitely small, but had everything I needed, and the location is AWESOME. I loved exploring South Congress and South 1st. Highly recommend a stay at Marcos' cottage if you are in Austin. "
3685441,31972607,2015-05-12,5692946,Colleen,"We stayed in at Marcos' place in Austin for five days and had a wonderful time! You couldn't ask for a nicer, more welcoming host. The location is extremely convenient, just a few minutes walk from some of the best restaurants/attractions in the city. Marcos also went out of his way to make us feel welcome - from the breakfast and water bottle stocked fridge to the extra toothpaste and blankets, every detail was considered to provide the best stay possible. Overall a wonderful place to stay in a very cool city. "
3685441,32618326,2015-05-19,28932348,Alysa,"Marcos was kind and welcoming, and made sure to show me all the amenities and the map of local attractions. The listing was very accurate, and an inexpensive, private space for the week. Word to the wise: this is a rustic, converted storage space that is now a homey cottage under the trees. I stayed here during a week of heavy storms, and got a little anxious being in a semi-permanent structure. If insects freak you out, steer clear. I, personally, loved it and would definitely stay again!"
3685441,33367920,2015-05-27,26912241,Andrea,Marcos provided many accommodations for my stay - very much appreciated the beer stocked in the fridge & the toothpaste in the bathroom! The cottage was nice & private.
3685441,33706719,2015-05-31,5603400,Eric,"Marcos was an awesome host!!!  The place was perfect for my trip to Austin and it's in the perfect location, close to great shops and restaurants and near South Congress area. It was very clean and the amenities available were plentiful. Marcos himself was very easy to communicate with and super accommodating!!! I will definitely stay here again!"
3685441,34245895,2015-06-06,5547803,Anne,"Good place to stay for location near South Congress and all it has to offer. Price reasonable. This is not fancy living at all, but the cool thing is Marcos has lots of amenities that make a very basic place seem 4 star. He has beer, wine, water and all the toiletries u could imagine. U could show up with nothing but the clothes on your back and be fine.
I would recommend upgrading the bed linens to something more luxury or even maybe throwing some in your backpack to bring. "
3685441,34680091,2015-06-10,88096,Aaron,Marcos was very friendly and inviting.  His little guest house was very cozy with all the basics.  I had a great stay - thanks so much for the great experience Marcos!
3685441,35029631,2015-06-14,35198214,Stephen,"Marcos was an amazing host.  I arrived to find a fridge full of goodies and a nice quiet place to rest.  The cottage is perfect if you're looking for a little privacy in a cozy setting.  There were a few bugs here and there, but you'll get that in a cottage setting and they were a very very minor thing.  I am definitely looking forward to returning to Austin again and hope to be able to stay with Marco next time too.  He was very pleasant and accommodating, not to mention a fun guy to chat with.  I would definitely recommend staying here."
3685441,35309271,2015-06-17,2647368,Valerie,"I loved staying here! It was everything I needed, simple, and private. Marcos was a wonderful host. He was available to help but also respected my privacy and the cottage was clean and well cared for. He took every opportunity to go above and beyond...extra towels, pillows, and toiletries were provided. He even filled the fridge with a few starter foods! Very nice. I lived in Austin for 6 years and was looking for something that felt like my very own home, and this was it. It's a very quiet neighborhood in a great location for South Austin activities. Can't wait to visit again."
3685441,36528808,2015-06-29,6913761,Jacob,"Very private, great amenities, and good location. Marcos is an excellent host and provided beverages, toiletries, and good conversation."
3685441,37504515,2015-07-07,36168871,Doreen,"Marcos' cottage was just what I was looking for. The cottage was neat, private, and quiet. And the bed was comfortable. ...I was really concerned about that! There were snacks and drinks available, which came in handy for sure. 
 Marcos is a wonderful host, able to blend a friendly, engaging personality with a respect for privacy. I would definitely stay at this cottage again."
3685441,38305584,2015-07-14,23267212,Bhavin,"I stayed at Marcos's cottage for five nights and it was just as described, and perfect for my needs.

The apartment was stocked with toiletries and amenities - the fridge was even filled with beer, wine and water!

Marcos will respect your privacy but he'll also be very quick to answer any questions or help you out with anything (such as the time I locked myself out).

All in all, it's a wonderful place to stay with a gracious host, and I'd definitely stay here again in the future."
3685441,39446906,2015-07-23,23451495,Jeffrey,"Great place.....a true old Austin getaway. If you want private this is the place. Your own cottage. Quiet street but blocks from SOCO and 1st. Marcos is a great host. Personable, nice, friendly, music knowledgeable (this is Austin after all). Habeneros around the corner for bfast and lunch. Austin Beer Garden down Oltorf, HEB market 2 blocks away. Perfect  Recommend. "
3685441,40245178,2015-07-29,37276526,Trevor,"For a first go-round of Airbnb Marcus was a great person to become acquainted with. He was one of the best hosts we have ever had. He made sure me and my boyfriend had everything we needed by having food, water, and drinks stocked in the mini-fridge in the room and by having some toiletries that could easily be forgotten when you pack. He made sure the room was tidy and clean and exactly as described on the website. Marcus also gave us some pointers as to where we could go eat or things to do in Austin since this was our first time staying here. He is also gay-friendly, making our stay that much more comfortable for us. He is enthralled to talk about anything if you have a minute. In fact, his eagerness to talk made us feel like he was a friend. He is very knowledgeable of many things from books to movies, and I’m certain he knows the Austin music scene better than most. The location of the home is also a major plus. It’s close to almost everything Austin has to offer when it comes to food, music, shopping, and outdoor activities. All in all, we have absolutely no complaints with our stay at all and we will certainly go back the next time we are in Austin. "
3685441,40966680,2015-08-03,16809065,David,"I had a great time staying at Marcos's affordable, conveniently located  cottage during a recent visit to Austin to see friends. I lived in an adjacent neighborhood for years, and was happy to find this spot convenient to the south Congress area as well as to several routes to the north side. I did not plan to spend a lot of time in the cottage — it was a good home base for sleeping, regrouping during the day and escaping the Austin summer heat. Marcos is very friendly and helpful and made me feel right at home. He's an original Austin character (ask him about working on the 1st Coen Bros. flick, ""Blood Simple,"" back in the day!) and a typically warm and friendly Texan."
3685441,42131626,2015-08-11,15490318,Cody,"I got to the spot a little later than I meant to because of 5 p.m. traffic, but Marcos was super nice and gracious when we met. He took me back to show me the cottage, which was thankfully already cooled down (it was 104° that day). Marcos had it STOCKED! Extra toiletries, guides to Austin, water and juice in the fridge, coffee maker and coffee. It had everything I needed! Nights were super quiet and comfortable in the cottage. If you want to live like a local and enjoy spending time in South/Central Austin, Marcos' place is perfect. The cottage is also a short walk to local grocery store HEB and bus stops and I made use of both without issue. I can't wait to plan a return trip to Austin and Marcos' place will be at the top of my list for places to stay. I would totally stay with Marcos again. He gave great recommendations during my trip, and a great recommendation for a stop on the way home (Czech Stop in West, TX; great kolaches!)."
3685441,44440969,2015-08-26,7042610,Dan,"Staying at Marcos' place was such a joy! It was an amazingly located central hub for everything we wanted to do and see on South Congress. Marcos was a gracious host who was great to chat to but also knew how to give us space to rest. The cottage is cosy and simple, which was just what we needed. It felt like our own private world to rest in. Aircon is awesome and the wifi is great. Marcos left us wine and basic amenities we might need. Would love to stay here again next time we're in Austin! Thanks Marcos! "
3685441,45626041,2015-09-04,3734759,Robert,"Marco is an awesome dude. He also has an awesome comfortable clean little place for you to stay in as well. I couldn't recommend it more. Great location too! Its pretty quiet here, while going out and catching the vibe of the city is only minutes away. This is the closest thing to experiencing real Austin you will probably get."
3685441,45996697,2015-09-07,40823251,Katie,"Thank you, Marcos!"
3685441,46905763,2015-09-14,22862893,Vivian,"The space was small but well appointed. Better for an individual than a couple. The refrigerator was stocked with water and beer. There were plenty of towels and a basket with toiletries. The exterior is well lit with sensored lighting. Marcos, the host was available and attentive. The location is central to downtown being only a 15-20 minute car ride. I enjoyed my stay."
3685441,47900732,2015-09-21,234409,Nicolas,"Staying in Marcos' cottage made my first trip to Austin incredible. It's just a few blocks to South Congress or 1st St. restaurants/shops. It's only a few minutes to drive or Uber over to Downtown. The neighborhood is beautiful and very quiet. 

The cottage was extremely clean and comfortable for my stay. Marcos was very generous by stocking a mini fridge with beverages and snacks. It was pretty hot in Austin but the A/C cooled off the cottage well.  Plenty of towels, toiletries and accessories like iron and ironing board. 

I will definitely want to stay at his place on my next trip to Austin!"
3685441,48883503,2015-09-29,7287485,Justin,"This place is excellent. Just great. Comfy, great location, full of amenities. He even had some food and beer waiting in the fridge when I arrived."
3685441,50675041,2015-10-13,38608917,Sarahkate,Loved staying here. Perfect Location for ACL and close to other fun and interesting things in Austin. The cottage is perfect for 2 and Marcos is a great host. Will definitely be back when we are in the area again.
3685441,51456555,2015-10-20,804595,Scott,"Marcos was a great host and the place as nice and cosy for two. It is very convenient located for SOCO, I would recommend staying hear."
3685441,52146379,2015-10-26,18467790,Vincent,Marcos' cottage was exactly as described and pictured.  It was a very nice and quiet dwelling with all of the necessities for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Austin.  The location is very convenient and close to many of the restaurants on South Congress as well as downtown.  Marcos was very accommodating and made himself available if we ever had any questions.
3685441,52934547,2015-11-02,21487201,Trevor,"Marcos was amazing. He gave me updates as I was traveling through the horrible weather from Dallas to Austin. His space is exactly as listed and all you need to be comfortable in Austin, TX. The neighborhood is perfect, absolutely perfect. Close enough, yet very private. I will be looking to book here on all business trips to Austin. "
6453354,33736845,2015-05-31,33619801,Brian,Lee did a wonderful job setting up for our stay up and making us feel welcome.  The pictures and description are very accurate.  The candles made the place smell amazing.  Everything was clean and she even left food in the fridge for us.  There is Netflix and a nice TV to accommodate us and the place is very spacious.  The best part is how easy it is to get in contact with her and she is very pleasant to talk to.  The area was nice and quiet and very convenient to get around and walk to local spots and a stones-throw from downtown Austin.  We will definitely stay with Lee again whenever we plan on going back to Austin!
6453354,34484305,2015-06-08,9230469,Bridget,Lee Bailey provided detailed check-in instructions that made checking in and out a breeze! She stayed in close contact and was readily available to answer questions. The bed is super comfy and the apartment is exactly advertised: quiet and conveniently located in central Austin. Would definitely stay here again!
6453354,34886915,2015-06-13,19437659,Brittany,"Lee was an amazing host and was very quick to respond to our messages. The apartment was perfect for our stay and the pullout couch was surprisingly comfortable! It was clean, nicely decorated,  and in a convenient location. All in all it was a great trip and I would definitely stay here again!   "

2432292,50471609,2015-10-12,23467657,Jackie,This was my first Airbnb experience and it was great. Nessa made it very easy and she was very welcoming. Her house makes you feel right at home. She set high standards for my future experiences. It is a perfect location for ACL. Thanks for everything 
5642276,28241694,2015-03-20,2457092,Lissette,"Robert and Monica were great hosts! Their cozy, yet spacious room (hello private bathroom and walk-in closet!) was just what I needed to get away from a week of SXSW madness. 

The Cuban Sandwich Cafe was a very short walk away and as delicious as Robert and Monica said. (I recommend the cuban sandwich and beef empanadas!) 

Windsor Park is a bit of a commute from downtown Austin, but a quick Lyft or Uber ride away. 

Would definitely recommend staying with Monica and Robert if you're looking for something low key and homey. "
5642276,50388805,2015-10-11,34737451,Layne,Monica made me feel very welcome and was a great host.  Monica was also very accommodating to my schedule for check in and gave me great directions to the house.  The room and bathroom are very comfortable and clean. The room description is very accurate.  I had a great nights sleep. 
8634110,49736628,2015-10-05,10781347,Mindy,Erica was a great host. We booked really last minute and she was kind enough to accommodate my group. We even got the chance to meet! Her apartment was very clean and had everything thing necessary for our jam packed music festival filled weekend. 
8634110,51354000,2015-10-19,13893717,Tani,"Erica was a great host and the apartment was perfect for our stay in Austin. It was very clean and comfy and had all the amenities of home, the location was perfect for getting to downtown Austin. Would definitely stay here again!"
8634110,52884831,2015-11-02,22778714,Selene,Erica was very understanding of our later arrival & checked with us periodically. Her apartment is BEAUTIFUL & pretty close to downtown Austin! Comfortable beds! I will definitely recommend her!

The experience was Clean, Cool, Comfy, and the place is in the Perfect Location... in Beautiful Clarksville.  Short Walk to Downtown,  right around the block from one of the best coffee shops in town... not to mention several good brunch spots as well.  

Great Value - highly recommended! "
959601,14400980,2014-06-18,3572174,Dak,"Great apartment, very good location, Andrea's a fun and friendly host and even cooks for guests! Her apartment is very well furnished, the private bedroom is comfortable, there's a pool at the complex and it's less than a mile away from a lot of the things you would be interested in visiting. Andrea is gone a lot, too, so frequently it's like renting out the whole place."
959601,20782877,2014-10-05,21450709,Keith,Andrea was continually helpful throughout the stay for ACL.  She kept communication and was very easy to get a hold of if we had a question or needed anything.  Highly recomend staying with her if you need a place to stay in Austin and want to be close to everything.  Exactly what we were looking for!
959601,23373296,2014-11-30,9465751,Johnny,"Nice people, good communication, always not home, so you pretty much got the whole place. No microwave, but I can live without it, and I don't have a car, which means everything is so closed around."
959601,29110723,2015-04-04,5509462,Ed,"+ for friendliness
+ for location
- for cleanliness
- for easy proximity to return to the place
Bottomline: Extremely nice and helpful hostess; friendly neighbors; walking distance to downtown; not close enough for regular returns; dirty shower + stained carpets + dog smell.

Andi was great at welcoming me and ensuring that I was all set to have a great stay for SXSW. Excellent and thorough communication and extremely responsive. Extremely friendly neighbors, and decent location to downtown -- gave me a chance to get in a healthy amount of walking, though still close to where I needed to go. Far enough away, however, that I didn't have the flexibility to drop stuff off midday. The place, though, does need a bit of a thorough cleaning, especially the bathroom. There was a lot of mold growing in the shower. Also, not a good place to stay for my dog allergies. I was warned ahead of time, but never had an experience that strongly of the bedroom being inundated with dog smell and dander."
959601,35998932,2015-06-24,7292230,Nora,"Andi was a fantastic host. Her apartment is in a perfect location, and very reasonably priced for the area it's in. She's very easy going and is always happy to chat, but will give you space if you need it. Andi has a great knowledge of the local area, and is especially good at restaurant recommendations! And her dog is just the sweetest pup in the world. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Austin. "
959601,44428413,2015-08-26,37187271,Andrew,"Andrea is a fantastic host. The room was clean and well decorated, and it is located in an awesome part of town with easy access to just about everything I wanted in Austin. She has a sweet dog named Foster. I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance!"
5446421,36312316,2015-06-27,35249419,Morgan,"A lovely, modern designed home that made me feel less like a tourist and more like an actual resident. It is conveniently located to anything you might need or want to see, eat, or explore. Everything was clean and minimally designed so that I didn't necessarily feel like I was intruding in someone else's home. My first trip to Austin was made 100x better because I stayed here!"

Both were very accommodating and flexible and were willing to help even when our flight was delayed till the next day. Great house. Beautifully updated and maintained. Great Hosts. If we're ever in the Austin area again, Emily will be my first choice."
5446421,37069945,2015-07-04,23623548,Michelle,"While I was not able to meet Emily in person, a friend of hers kindly met me during check-in and gave all the necessary details. The home was exactly as described, and very comfortable. It was my first introduction to airbnb, and I was really impressed. I had my friend over the night before she got married, and it was the perfect quiet spot to reconnect and bond before her big day.
Thanks, Emily, for sharing your lovely home and cozy bed! I certainly recommend it for others. "
5446421,38721758,2015-07-18,7219998,Line,"This place was amazing!! Emily and her sweet friend Shelly was the best. The neighborhood was great and close to the very cool SoCo. We had all we needed and they responded our emails very fast. I'm for sure going back to Austin! Love the city, the music, the kayaking, the great food places and most of all the friendly people there! Keep it weird Austin. "

The whole process was very smooth and accurate.  We did not get to meet since I believe you were out of town but we did meet your friend Chelsea who helped with check out and was very friendly.  This was my first Airbnb experience and I have zero complaints.  Thanks again!!

Bo G."
5446421,40378631,2015-07-30,21400460,Drew,"Usually, I come to Austin by myself for business.  This time, I brought my wife and one of my children with me.  Emily was a wonderful host, and her place was a great fit for the three of us.  The house is spacious, good looking inside and out, and in an excellent location.  I hope to stay there again very soon."
5446421,40796410,2015-08-02,36981197,Katlyn,"When I walked into Emily's home with my boyfriend, I was immediately taken with how beautiful the house was. It is light, airy, spacious and incredibly inviting. Everything was clean, the bedrooms were tidy with fresh sheets, blankets and pillows, the two bathrooms had plenty of toilet paper and supplies, etc. The house has very modern appliances and you can tell a lot of thought (and love) has been put into the decor and design. On the kitchen counter, Emily had left a note with a friendly greeting and a reminder of the house rules. Next to it sat a guide to the neighborhood and a bottle of wine to enjoy during our stay. Lovely! On the guide, there were restaurants and fun things to do in the area.  Her house is in the best possible spot; you take a left and then a right and you are on Congress street, a couple blocks away from the famous Homeslice restaurant and Amy's Ice Cream. It was awesome. We mostly traveled by car but everything we wanted to visit was within 15 minutes of her home. I would absolutely stay here again and I suggest anyone who wants to feel like a true Austinite should make a reservation. Thanks again, Emily and Shelley!"
5446421,42008102,2015-08-10,2666637,Karthic,"Wow, its a beautiful house with a fantastic backyard. Emily & Shelly were great, they even had the air running when we arrived (It was sweltering hot outside and it was heavenly to step into the pre-cooled property). Everything was neat & tidy and we had a great time in Austin thanks to Emily."
5446421,45106190,2015-08-31,4964544,Shaz,The home was impeccable. We had a great experience. 
76974,202305,2011-03-18,19694,Neeti,"Ashley describes the apartment as big and cozy, and she isn't kidding in either respect. It's definitely big and cozy! Great decor and very charming. Big, comfortable bed. The place is pretty clean and organized. Nice little private backyard area. There is a parking spot right in front of the apartment, which is convenient. The place is about 2 miles from downtown Austin - everything seems to be about a 10 minute drive away from her apartment. Ashley is very sweet and hospitable. Even though she was really busy while I was staying there, she made sure to respond to all text messages and emails promptly, to ensure that I had a comfortable stay. Thanks, Ashley!"
76974,232575,2011-04-19,503266,Tara,Ashley's place was the perfect get-away retreat right in the middle of one of the best neighborhoods in Austin.  It was definitely big n' cozy and Ashley was such a pleasure to work with.  I contacted her late the night before for a last minute staycation and she was very accommodating.  Her home was very inviting and it fostered creativity and thinking which was exactly the type of environment I needed.  
76974,266941,2011-05-16,571143,Tiny,Stayed here for a weekend. The place was indeed very cozy and the bed was comfortable. We slept like babies. Ashley even left us some beer in the fridge. We would definitely stay here again.
76974,550515,2011-09-20,508954,Rob,"Ashley was great, very responsive and accommodating.  Her apartment is in a good location near downtown and close to popular spots like Medici Coffee and Galaxy Cafe, two of our favorites.  The apartment is a nicely converted garage into apartment, is comfortable, has blaring A/C to combat Austin summer heat and a small outdoor shared yard area.  Our only complaint is a very small shower, not an issue for most but at 6'4'' it was a struggle.  That said, I would recommend Ashley and her apartment to others, who aren't too tall :-)"
76974,718959,2011-11-14,1363088,Maryla,"Big n' cozy is an understatement! This one bedroom is HUGE! And it's the sweetest, most quaint apartment I've ever stayed in. I walked in and immediately felt like I was in a best friends home. Beautiful pictures and antiques. It had so much character and energy. Ashley is very loved, as proven by the amazing letters that she has received and so proudly displayed. :)
Ashley was incredibly hospitable, even without her being there! She sent check up texts to make sure everything was going smoothly. The location of Ashley's apartment is ideal! Walking distance to a few incredible restaurants and convenience stores. Minutes from downtown.
I had such a memorable time staying at Ashley's home. I will never forget it. "

76974,2925517,2012-11-20,484245,Matt,"The apartment is exactly as she describes it.  She was very accommodating and a great host.  Communication was easy and she always responded promptly.  It's a couple of blocks from a grocery store and several good places to eat.  Downtown is within walking distance or a short cab ride.  She does have a dog, so if you have any allergies that maybe something to consider.  I would stay there again."
76974,3456120,2013-02-01,2496412,Alissa,Ashley is SO sweet & helpful! I booked last minute and she went above and beyond to make sure I had everything we could possibly need! The place is super cute too! I would totally recommend this big & cozy place!
76974,3641707,2013-02-26,5079713,Adam,"I made plans to stay with Ashley but at the last minute had to re-route home, as my grandmother had passed away. Ashley was very accommodating, kind and helpful. I regret not being able to stay at her place, but definitely plan to do so the next time I need somewhere to stay in Austin!"
76974,3702695,2013-03-05,233412,Álex,"Ahsley's place is amazing!

My friend and I were doubting about going to a hotel or staying at a home and we both agree that the trip wouldn't have been the same without having been there!

Ahsley's home is big, cozy and you have the feeling of being at home! she left blankets and towels for us and, when we arrived at night, she lighted some candles and it looked just beautiful!
And the keys exchange was extremely easy and painless!
She also recommended a really good restaurant 5 minutes walk from her place that was really good (there's also a supermarket next to it). 
The city center is like 10 min away by car, so pretty handy!

I totally recommend to stay at Ashley's place! :) "
76974,3921118,2013-03-27,2717003,Erin,"Ashley was a very accommodating host, and was timely in both responses to email and text messages. Moreover, she was incredibly sweet. The apartment itself is located in an adorable neighborhood close to a cute coffee shops and restaurants, and convenient to major roads and one of the major highways.

However, the apartment was not so clean, pretty messy, and quite dark. Also, Ashley has a dog, as was evident throughout the apartment (smell and hair). Also, the neighbors partied in the lot right outside the windows until late at night one of the days we were there.

Again, Ashley was very, very nice, but these were the issues we experienced. Hopefully, those experiences were anomalous!"
76974,3984947,2013-04-01,5336651,Anne,Had a great stay at Ashley's place. It's quirky and has buckets of Austin character! Lovely host. 
76974,5636422,2013-07-09,5228863,Darren,"Ashley was amazing to deal with. Even when her plans changed unexpectedly she honored our arrangement and was very accommodating with some changes I had to make and also very gracious to allow my dog to stay in her place. 
Her place is large and decorated and has an artsy vibe. It is very homely and is located in the heart of beautiful Clarksville. A 2 min walk away are restaurants, cafes, grocery and a pharmacy.
It was a great location for me to explore Austin for the first time.
After spending a month here it really felt like home and Ashley was great.

76974,10437095,2014-02-18,9975576,Mark,"This was a great space in a great location . Ashley was very gracious and was quick to respond to the couple of questions that I sent her over the course of the weekend. 

If your time in Austin takes you to any of the top destinations in town, this place is perfect for you and Ashley is a great host"
76974,10560759,2014-02-24,850585,Zeina,"What a fantastic place to stay. The location was amazing and the place had character. It has this sort of Urban Outfitters kind of vibe going. The place is very accommodating to pets (small back yard and a nice neighborhood to walk in). Ashley was a wonderful hostess, easy to get a hold of, and gave great recommendations. Very glad I met her and I would highly recommend this place to anyone."
76974,11197754,2014-03-24,13078854,Mike,"We had a great time in Austin. Ashley was awesome and gave us lots of great recommendations for things to do and see. The apartment was perfect! Clean, comfortable, and very interesting. The close proximity to downtown and everything else Austin has to offer made it a perfect location. We can't wait to stay here again! "
76974,11273511,2014-03-27,9030008,Ashley,"Ashley's ""Big n' Cozy Clarksville"" apartment is everything it promises to be and more.  Her bed is a glorious cloud of comfort and was such an unexpected and appreciated surprise - I slept so well. 

Ashley was a wonderful host and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again, fellow Ashley. I appreciate you. 

Ashley "
76974,11771139,2014-04-14,7952209,Ashlie,"We would not stay here again nor would we recommend others stay unless they are fully aware of what they are getting into. The negatives to this location include an overpowering dog smell, a mattress in very poor condition, and noise from upstairs.

Pet Odor. The apartment had a dog smell that was overwhelming. The windows had been left open to air it out, but it didn't help. And over the course of the two days it didn't get any better (we both woke up with extreme headaches on Saturday due to the odor).

Pet Dander. The comforter on the bed had dog hair on it. When we got into bed we immediately started itching and we both itched throughout the night.

Mattress. The mattress is big, but it is in pretty bad shape. It sinks in the middle, so we both spent the night sort of falling into the center of the bed.

Neighbors. The upstairs neighbors have three dogs. Although they are smaller dogs, you can still hear them walking around. They were quiet when we arrived, but started running around at about 3am, when their owner came home. This noise went on for hours and made it extremely difficult to get any sleep. Also, the parking situation should be clarified, as we had to park in a location that sort of blocked other folks in.

I hate to write a negative review, but I think renters should know what they are getting into. Had we known, we would have picked a different location.

The positives are that Ashley is very responsive (quick, too) and her place is in a great, central location. Unfortunately, I still would not recommend it."
76974,12348003,2014-04-29,9456316,Liv,"Ashley was the perfect host, we had a great time in Austin :)

Ashley made the stay seamless and even though we arrived after midnight, we had no issues upon arrival.
The apartment is really cool and the bed is super comfortable!  It's also pretty quiet being set back away from the street a good ways.
The apartment was also close enough that we could easily walk downtown but also be away from late night noise etc..
We were really happy with our stay and would 100% recommend it!"
76974,28172510,2015-03-19,27617203,Kate,"My colleague and I stayed for 4 nights during SXSW at Ashley's place and had a fantastic experience!  Ashley was a very accommodating host making sure we knew how to get to certain places, offering us food/bev, additional bedding/pillows and any other items if we needed.  Her place is shabby chic cool and offered a comfortable home base for our entire trip.

Ashley lives in an awesome part of town with cool, retro venues within safe, walkable environment including a grocery store within a few blocks of her base.  We walked every morning to the downtown Austin sxsw locations, a pleasant 35-45 min. walk away.  

As a first time Airbnb, Ashley's home and hospitality exceeded everything I imagined from an Airbnb experience and I am now hooked on Airbnb.  Ashley's base will be my first call when I return to Austin in the future."

She let us know of the near by grocery store (walking distance) and suggested a few local spots. The apartment is on a busy street, but not noisy at night and very convenient for Uber/taxi pickups. The only issue I can see someone having is with the shower, it is quite small, but was just fine for us for our short stay. 10 minute drives to downtown & Zilker Park and about 20-25 minutes to/from Austin airport. Ashley is very helpful and welcoming host!"

 Artwork and decor is quite lovely and well chosen.  Location was close to all needed stores and quite close to downtown.  Owner communicated clearly and was a pleasure to deal with.   All in all would highly recommend!"
5851461,48782524,2015-09-28,31732741,Kelly,"Excellent.  The location was awesome.  We came into to town to stay as a family with our three sons while we had work in the Austin area over the weekend.  The location was right down the street from an elementary school with a track, which we walked to one morning to run around and play at.  The pool was amazing, our boys swam there most of the afternoon.  All of the neighbors are super friendly and sweet.  The condo itself is BEAUTIFUL and the perfect size for out weekend stay!  Overall it was an AMAZING choice for our family of 5."

It was as if we were in a brand new home with thoughtful additions like warm light-bulbs with cool light fixtures, very comfortable beds, spacious yard, neat, and charming design.  You can tell they redid this house with style and care.  The house was spacious and comfortable for a large group and in a convenient location with a short walk or quick ride to some great recommended establishments near by.  I highly recommend this place especially for a large group.

The decor, kitchen and furniture were all high-quality, and with several nice extras like coffee machines, speakers for music, a dishwasher.... We were a group of eight and were very comfortable. Plenty of room for sleeping, eating, hanging out, etc. 

Crystal was very helpful and left us a personalized welcome book, with lots of great suggestions of things to do in the area. 

The neighborhood is quiet (in a good way) with lots of character, and a short drive/Uber from countless great bars and restaurants. We also found some excellent coffee, BBQ and Mexican food a short walk away. And a remarkable number of pinata shops... 

Basically, it was exactly what we were looking for. We would certainly come back again. "

Crystal was so accommodating and was always very responsive before and during the trip to my questions and with recommendations! And it was easily within walking distance of some great brunch spots, though in the summer heat we opted to catch a short ride to downtown! But it's the perfect distance! "

She emailed me with all the specifics on checking in, and once we arrived at the house she even left a detailed note in order for us to have an enjoyable stay.  Her home was spacious and in the perfect central location.  Everywhere we needed to go was easily accessible.  Thanks to Joanna for exceeding my expectations with airbnb! "

My parents were first timers on Airbnb and had their anxieties quickly assuaged as soon as they arrived. Joanna was thoughtful and helpful to the last decorative seasonal detail, and as a Chicagoan in Texas, helped me forget that it was winter for a little bit."

She made us feel very welcome with a note and gift bag, and she was always responsive when we had questions. Her home was even MORE beautiful than the pictures suggested, and my parents raved about how comfortable the master bedroom bed was. The living room was very comfortable for us all to hang out in, and the TV having access to Roku box, Chromecast, and local channels was a huge plus. The location is perfect, neighborhood adorable, and Joanna's decor is beautiful! Would definitely recommend this place for anyone! "

She made the house very welcoming, and I would definitely stay here again. The hhose was very attentive, and when we had some questions she was very responsive.

The house was great, or, in the words of the girls with us ""This is so cute I want to keep it"". It fit all 8 of us comfortably, and was a very economical way for us all to stay in the same spot. The beds were all very comfortable, and the house has a great layout with a very pleasant front porch."

It is easy walking distance to food, coffee, wine, convenience store, in a young, fun suburb. About 30mins walk into town, which was very do-able (5 mins by car)."

It was inexpensive to get around by Uber and it took care of our group of 7 comfortably. Abbey was available when we had a question about the lock and she checked on us throughout the stay. 
Her kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked with items needed for a weekend stay. I would definitely use it again as a place to stay in Austin!! "

There were 7 of us on a weekend trip to Austin and this could not have been more perfect. Everyone had a place to sleep and we did not feel cramped whatsoever. Her kitchen was fully stocked, bathrooms had toiletries and the decor definitely added to our experience. We took Abbey's suggestions on places to eat and see and had a wonderful time. The location was close to everything we wanted to do and just a quick  uber ride to downtown, the park, etc. we also really liked the keypad lock since it made it more convenient when we didn't need to bother Abbey to check us in at 5 in the morning or having to carry an extra set of keys on us while we were out and about. The neighborhood felt pretty safe to us as we were able to walk and get coffee, bbq and other suggestions she had. Thank you for making it such a memorable experience for all of us. My best friend really had the best birthday weekend :)"

There was plenty of space for everyone! Thanks so much Abbey!!
6490425,43442413,2015-08-19,41173187,Nancy,"Abby was a great host. She communicated with me right away and adjusted the check in time to accommodate us. She thoughtfully left drinks in the fridge and good recommendations for places to go. The house is very cute, kitchen and bathrooms modern and spotless and beds very comfortable. It's a great location, no more than 15 mins. from anywhere we wanted to go (downtown, UT campus) and less than 30 minutes to/from the airport, that was especially nice. We were business travelers and although the place is not huge, we all had enough privacy. I would definitely recommend and book again."

There are lots of amenities including nice cookware and everything we needed to have meals in the house. She even welcomed us with cold beer in the fridge!  The house was perfectly clean and nicely decorated. We were in walking distance to a few restaurants and a bike rental station.  The bathrooms are nicely updated and included shampoo and soap so there was no need to bring some from home. There were plenty of towels for us as well.  The Apple TV is a nice addition to catch up on news and sports between fun Austin activities. We could not have been more pleased with the house and our trip to Austin!  Thanks Abbey!"

We had a group of 7 people and the place was very spacious. There is an air mattress and a sofa bed as well if you need more space. The house had a wide array of cookware, plates, cups, utensils in case you needed to cook. There is a coffee maker! There are two bathrooms stocked with soap/shampoo, and towels were provided. Also has a washing machine and dryer! There were cold beer in the fridge waiting for us when we arrived, as well as a list of recommendations to great places to eat. The location is very convenient: plenty of parking spots, literally a 15 minute walk to Franklin Barbecue, a 10 minute drive to downtown Austin, and 20 minutes away from the airport. You cannot go wrong staying at Abbey’s house - highly recommended and would definitely book again next time!"
6490425,48180041,2015-09-24,21129534,Lauren,"One of the best Airbnb experiences we've ever had (and we've had A LOT)! The space itself was the perfect size, clean, adorably decorated, and a fridge stocked with beer and coffee (even though we're not drinkers of either ;) was much appreciated. The location was PERFECT for our needs and close by to a lot of cool independent stores and restaurants. Really easy communication with Abbey leading up to the stay - she offers great suggestions and left us with all the info we needed!"

Amanda's house sits atop the ridge above Lamar and has a lovely porch with nice breezes to view downtown. The house is classic, low key Austin in feel but has all the amenities one needs. Amanda was very communicative and responsive. "

Amanda was very communicative, welcoming and flexible. Checking in/out and finding place was super easy and Amanda was easy to get a hold of before. Area was perfect for our needs. Food close by and close enough to walk to river and downtown. Small, simple- no frills place, close to neighbors yet private.  Nice to be close to the graffiti wall. Worked well for us and Amanda was great to work with"
6955247,45890259,2015-09-06,16924501,Melanie,"Everything  was just as advertised at Amandas.   We loved staying there and were able to walk most places we wanted to go, which was exactly what we wanted.  We also loved the views!  Would stay there again!"
6955247,46086281,2015-09-07,3510913,Venkat,"This charming house is in my favorite neighborhood of Austin, which is central to everything. Amanda was super fast in resolving an issue I had with the assigned parking spot. I really liked that she stocked the house with all the essentials. I had trouble sleeping because the window AC units were loud but I am a light sleeper."

Amanda was very helpful in answering all of our question. Quick to respond.  It is a great area to stay in Austin. Very close to downtown via Uber or Lyft.  Maybe 5 to 10 minutes. 

There is a great Cafe walking distance from her place that has the  the BEST Breakfast. Whole Foods right around the corner, backs up to a beautiful neighborhood. "
6955247,49611845,2015-10-05,31428141,Hung,"Amanda was a great host from the moment I reserved the apartment! Her responses were always prompt and she provided a thorough welcome email a day or two before check-in. The apartment was sprinkled with hospitable notes and there were even welcome treats! Everything was as described / pictured. The neighborhood is in an ideal location which is right next to the Hope Outdoor Gallery.

6955247,50470601,2015-10-12,42722599,Ryan,"The location was perfect. We were able to walk to Zilker Park which was about 1.5 miles and to 6th St which was also about 1.5 from the house. You're located right next to the graffiti wall and that was pretty cool. We met the neighbor Anthony the night we got there. He saw us outside and came over for a drink and hung out. The atmosphere of the area and the house had the perfect Austin vibe. Amanda was very accommodating. The air mattress wasn't at the property, and she got it there to us in less than an hour. The house is up on a hill, so you feel very safe and secluded from what is happening down on the street, which we really liked. The view from the front porch is also amazing. Also, she stocked the fridge with some shiner, flat water and sparkling water as well as household items you would need, like soap, detergent, clorox wipes, paper towels, tooth paste, tooth brush, ect. You could have forgot almost all your toiletries and be able to make it just fine. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, and when we come back to Austin we will definitely look into renting this property again. "
6955247,51050659,2015-10-17,6726215,Flora,"Amanda's place had everything we needed to feel comfortable. It was bright, inviting, clean and well-stocked with water and snacks. There is also a pretty amazing view of the downtown skyline from the front porch. There are a lot of stone steps to access the apartment, so keep that in mind. The wonderful thing about this place is that it is near an area with a lot of stuff to do, but the apartment itself is nestled so far back from the street that there is a lot of privacy too. 
Highly recommend!"
6955247,51443327,2015-10-20,13144789,Ian,"Amanda was fantastic, gave very useful information in her welcome pack and always responded quickly to any questions.

6955247,51902730,2015-10-25,10676352,Neema,We loved Amanda's place. It's a great location and she thinks of everything possible to make your stay as comfortable as possible. She even leaves little notes all over the apartment. It was really cool staying so close to the graffiti wall and the location overall made everything easily accessible. We were able to walk or take a short uber everywhere we wanted to go. We would definitely return to Amanda's whenever we are back in Austin.

The house is beautiful and fun - in an ideal spot for us (we were in town for SXSW) - 20 minute walk to downtown Austin, but in a quiet location with plenty of room to spread out.  Kelly and Barrett even offered for us to use their bikes !  

I work for a tech start up and book tons of travel and accommodations - and this was by far the best Airbnb experience I have had.  I highly recommend booking the Story House for your Austin visit. "
4053222,28377367,2015-03-23,23748058,David,"My company stayed in this house for SXSW and could not have had a better experience. The house is brand new and just as beautiful as in the pictures.  It also has a lovely rear deck and backyard area perfect for relaxing after being on the streets of Austin all day.  Kelly was incredibly accommodating and a great host, going so far as to get bikes for the 5 of us to ride during our time in the city.  10/10 would stay here again (and will try to next sxsw).  Thanks Kelly! "

4053222,33018428,2015-05-24,17131523,Aaron,The house was as described. The location was central to everywhere we wanted to go.

It was also good for relaxing on the couch and watching TV when we had a little down time.  Thanks for hosting us.

They provided an inflatable bed and all the beds in the rooms were comfortable. The shower in the master room is a must try. Outdoor space was immaculate and a great place to hang out. Location was excellent and close to Rainey St and food trucks. We came here for ACL weekend and it was a quick to drive to Zilker park. Kelly met with us when we first arrived to show us around. They had a pack of beer and snacks for us which was definitely a bonus. We are already making plans on staying with them again. Austin is an awesome city, for sure one of our fave cities! Thank you again for sharing your beautiful house with us! "

Highly recommend staying here!"
4893863,25817090,2015-01-26,13359105,Meghan,Nick's place was lovely! Very clean and in a quiet neighborhood.

The home itself was incredible—excellent location (a short walk to all the East 6th action, but far enough from the crowd) and very spacious. I didn't want to leave. And Nick was great, too. He checked in occasionally to make sure all was well, and he was quick to respond to any questions that arose. I cannot recommend this place highly enough."
4893863,28300224,2015-03-22,25368281,Eli,"AWESOME SPOT! Actually much more spacious than the photos make it look. Nick was an awesome host, very helpful, flexible, and accommodating in all of our exchanges. So glad we got to be in this house for our stay."
4893863,29967791,2015-04-15,6905632,Stephen,"The house is so cool, clean, spacious and modern.  Nick was a great host, communicative with a super easy check in.  The location is perfect, walking distance to all the best in Austin.  The treats in the fridge were a nice touch, great hospitality!"
4893863,30376158,2015-04-21,25166920,Dylon,"Nick is a great host. We stayed here for 3 nights, and they were all fantastic. The home is very spacious and comfortable. Having a place this nice to stay so close to the east side attractions was wonderful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
4893863,32119658,2015-05-14,8016562,Audrey,"Nick was an awesome host.  The house was very spacious and clean.  Nick checked on us several times and even offered to have groceries delivered for us on a rainy day!  He gave us several recommendations on where to go and what to do.   It was a great experience and I would most definitely stay here again.   We felt very welcomed and at home.  
Thanks Nick!  "
4893863,32634970,2015-05-19,5852561,Martin,"Place is awesome. Area is great, instacart on arrival w/ bunch of simple things (beverages etc) was awesome. "
4893863,33238513,2015-05-26,8878131,Emily,"Nick’s awesome communication leading up to our trip made us feel welcome before we even arrived in Austin! The house was stocked with everything we could need during our weekend and was honestly spotless when we arrived. We loved the modern vibes, the polished concrete floors, open plan for the main hangout space. The bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house, so that provides a little extra privacy. The master bathroom is huge! Kitchen had everything we would have needed if we wanted to cook at meal home, but we were too busy with wedding activities. The neighborhood was residential and quiet, but the shops and restaurants of East Austin were only a 10-15 minute walk away. We took Ubers during most of the weekend and never had to wait long for one to arrive. We all really loved staying here - perfect homebase for a long weekend in Austin!"
4893863,34578900,2015-06-09,8679329,Kristen,Nick's place was perfect for my long weekend in Austin. The location is certainly within walking distance of some great East Austin establishments. I found the house to be spacious and comfortable.  Kudos to Nick for quickly responding to and repairing a stubborn AC unit. I wouldn't hesitate to book this spot again. 
4893863,37340765,2015-07-06,15695906,Thiagarajan,"The neighborhood was peaceful. not too much noise. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property. It is extremely well maintained, clean. Kitchen had all stainless steel utensils without any scratch which is a great plus from health point of view.
The house was very appealing as it is closer to downtown and good restaurants in and around the area. 
The property manager Jill was exceptionally professional and was pleasant. 
We would recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience Austin and have a cozy enough home to put your feet up and relax. "
4893863,38716663,2015-07-18,28476514,Axel,"We stayed at Nick's house for almost two weeks and we enjoyed every day. The house was clean, we got all information we needed, a basic food basket was provided, the kitchen was great, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were perfect for our family. The location in a safe neighborhood is great for any City trip to Austin. What a great alternative to any hotel room. This was the first time with Airbnb and it was a great experience. We would rent Nick's house again in a heartbeat. Thanks !"
4893863,49780179,2015-10-06,10641013,Katie,"Nick's place was the perfect home base for our trip to Austin for the ACL Music Festival. The house was nice, clean, spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The backyard had a nice outdoor sitting area so we spent a lot of time in the evenings and mornings just hanging out back. The location was great for walking to 6th street bars at night and there was a super tasty brunch spot and coffee house close as well. And if we wanted to venture further away, it was a cheap Uber or Lyft to get to Rainey Street or South Congress. We would stay there again if we come back to Austin!"
4893863,50615807,2015-10-13,33165177,Michael,"This house and the host(s) were excellent. Nick and Jill made it extremely easy to stay for a long weekend at ACL. Being from way out of town, they made our trip stress free. No check-in or check-out was required with Jill which really made it easy to pack and head out when we needed too. They let us show up early and stay late since we didn't fly out until later on the last day. This modern style house had everything you need, excellent AC, a relaxing laid back feel, and is much more spacious than it looks in the photos. There is a really cool backyard too with outdoor seating, bbq and lighting.  Our group consisted of 2 couples which worked out great since each bedroom has it's own bathroom in it's corner of the house. The area is really interesting too if you want to be walking distance to a few bars and some great BBQ. It's also a short cab ride to anywhere in town. Overall, we could not have had a better experience staying here. "
4893863,52204449,2015-10-27,13504247,Nicole,"Very clean, spacious home. The bedrooms were so comfy and beautiful. The hosts were so kind and helpful with what to do in the area. We listened to the recommendations and ate at their suggestions! I highly recommend this home to rent! The kitchen is also amazing and spotless. It was a perfect size for me and my friends. I would definitely stay here again. "
80211,11018766,2014-03-17,12354988,Josh,"This was my first Air BnB experience and I have to say that it was great. Jessica was an absolute pleasure. In the madness that SXSW I was able to get an entire apartment to myself for a modest price. Jessica was great with information about where her place was located. She even went as far as to send me pictures so I would recognize the location. I have to say her communication was amazing. She was always available to me if I needed anything. Also, in my short time here I have already found that most of the people on here don't respond in a timely manner. Her place is about 15 minutes from Downtown, but being familiar with Austin that didn't bother me. If you are in town for a festival, concert, UT game, or just sightseeing it's really not that bad. When I finally arrived there were notes around the place to let me know what did what and things like that. There was even a little welcome snack tray she put together, complete with from Tea from Zhi Tea in Austin. It's excellent tea, by the way and a cool stop on your journeys. If there was one negative it would be the lack of an wi-fi connection for those that are traveling on business. It worked out for me in the end because of my hotspot and the fact that once I got home from being out all day I was ready to call it a night. All in all I would highly recommend her and stay here again should the need arise. "
80211,11776248,2014-04-14,13969095,Stephanie,"Jessica was an amazing host! She left notes around the apartment to show us our way around and also gave great directions on how to get to her place. We felt at home there. She even left us a tray of snacks, coffee & tea. If I ever need a place to stay in Austin, I will definitely use her place again if it's available and recommend it to others. "
80211,28062674,2015-03-16,21285594,Judy,"This apartment was great to stay at, it was peaceful and easy to find. 
Jessica place has a cafe walking distance away, which was convenient. Great place to stay when your in Austin.   "
80211,28344838,2015-03-22,28995701,Danielle,Jessica's apartment was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The location was great for the SXSW weekend we were attending and close by Costco for gas refills. We would totally stay at Jessica's apartment if it were available the next time we visit ATX.
7495750,44945477,2015-08-30,3190062,Alfredo,"I enjoyed my stay at Ruby’s place. I started by booking a handful of days, and then, I decided to expand my reservation to the rest of the month. Ruby and Rafael are great hosts, and they are available to give you recommendations on what to do in Austin or just to have a good conversation. The house is well located between the mopac and I-35 and few minutes away from the train station to downtown Austin. In summary, I had an amazing experience, so I would definitely recommend this listing!"
7495750,45622484,2015-09-04,42279534,Enzo,"I've been at Ruby's house for 4 days, the house is big, clean and in a very good neighborhood. Ruby and her husband were nice and friendly. My room was large and attached to a bathroom shared with another guest with no problem. The combination code for going in and out the house is awesome"
7495750,46968300,2015-09-14,42794295,Mat,"Everything was very easy when booking. My request was accepted immediatley and looked exactly like in the photos. ruby and rafael's house is beautiful. My stay was great, Ruby was very helpful to explaining things to do in austin. Highly recommended"
7495750,47586892,2015-09-20,24680836,Shiraz,"Fantastic. Host was very welcoming. Beautiful home that's quite big and spacious. Room had so much space! I'm a neat and clean 'freak' and this place did not disappoint. Super clean and spotless, including the bathrooms. 

Entering and leaving was very convenient with the keyless entry. I came in around midnight (or later) every night I stayed, and it was never a problem getting in and out. You could hear a pin drop in the house. 

Beautiful, safe, clean neighborhood that looks fairly new. I had the ultimate peace and quiet. Slept well each night. I will definitely look to book this place again if it's available. 

"
7495750,50366430,2015-10-11,24237656,Chris,"Ruby has an amazing home and two very cute cats. Ruby and Rafael made me very welcome and even recommended some places to visit on my stay. I had everything I needed, thanks guys!"
7111033,42890421,2015-08-16,305731,Sharon,"Tammy's place was a welcome respite after much travel. I had it to myself for two weeks which was heaven...and it was still great after a nice couple arrived. Tammy is super responsive and wants you to be comfortable. It's far away enough from the craziness, but so close if when you want to zip down 35 to get in the middle of it all. She's fun to talk to and I'd stay again in a heartbeat!"
7111033,50673724,2015-10-13,41121027,Enrique,Nice and helpful. Very clean.
8737598,50711745,2015-10-13,20872486,Amanda,"Adora's accommodation exceeded our expectations! Her place was stocked up with all the essentials to help make our stay as comfortable as possible and there were also plenty of available amenities. We felt very safe in the apartment complex, which was easily accessible to downtown and ACL (Zilker Park) via car transportation. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat."
8737598,51966929,2015-10-25,13436,Newton,Adora was extremely attentive during my my stay at her apartment. My time was short but found the space very accommodating and very neatly organized.  Adora also communicated with me throughout my stay and assured my time there was a best as it could be.
8737598,52121110,2015-10-26,45862099,Tiffany,Adora's apartment was spotless and very comfortable!She made check in and check out so easy! Will definitely use her place again in the future.
8737598,52944776,2015-11-02,47662754,Mira,Adora's place was great! It's a great location and the apartment was very clean.  
4137791,20881976,2014-10-06,21986365,Christopher,"What a great experience! Maria was more than accommodating. We arrived 2 hours later than expected due to traffic and wasn't a problem at all. 

The space is very nice, pictures don't do it justice. The house is well furnished and very well kept, seemed like a newly renovated space. 

It is positioned in a more upscale, centrally located neighborhood with easy access to any area of the city we were looking to go. 

Will look past downtown hotels and hope to stay here again on my next visit to Austin."
4137791,25811391,2015-01-26,6529736,Matt,"You've found nirvana. Stop your search and ""Request to Book"" right now. I'm in awe of Maria's handiwork with this place. Every detail is covered, every thoughtful touch considered, and you will want for nothing. I was won over by the practicalities. A large, open space, convenient washer/dryer, speedy Internet, perfect bed, convenient location, no noise, 5-star hotel worthy bathroom. And fell in love with the craft. Color-coordinated furnishings, framed festival poster, fun magazines, hand-made coffee table and console table that would make the front page of Pinterest. Maria and her wonderful family could not have been more welcoming - inviting me over to dinner, introducing me to friends and family, and presenting the best home-prepared meal that I've had in ages. This is the airbnb that sets the bar for other airbnbs. Consider yourself lucky to be here!"
4137791,26710811,2015-02-17,2401851,Cary,"Maria and her husband were awesome and very accommodating. Their place is incredibly cute and though its a guest house, they are incredibly respectful of space. It is just the right size for a unit and we have really enjoyed staying here and plan on coming back in the near future!! "
4137791,28083813,2015-03-17,13078599,Laura,"Maria's apartment is absolutely gorgeous - the photos speak for themselves, the space is immaculately clean, bright, and lovely! 
Maria was very kind, and went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible. She gave me detailed recommendations for restaurants and recreation trails, which I so appreciated.
I was traveling to Austin for work, and Maria's place has a great desk setup that was perfect for my needs.
Thanks again, Maria for being an awesome host!

4758424,27240557,2015-02-28,6309436,Kristen,"I had such a great time staying in Tre’s cozy, beautiful home! First, I want to start off by saying that the décor of this house is really great! Tre is artsy and it shows in the peaceful, minimalistic layout and color scheme of the bedroom and really cool comic book murals painted on the walls. The decorations in the house are a bit Batman themed, nothing alienating or super nerdy, it just adds to the awesome quirkiness of a proper stay in Austin!
Tre was a charming, respectful and helpful host. He is very familiar with Austin and is a Texas native (he has just the loveliest hint of Southern drawl!) He gave me tons of great suggestions for great places to eat, get a drink, listen to music and see what the area has to offer. If you’re a more private person though, I guarantee that you’ll hardly know he is there. 
The house is located is a very quiet and safe neighborhood. There are tasty places to eat and a big Goodwill within walking distance, but the bus gets you to downtown in just a few minutes. Personally, I’m a big fan of Uber. It is very affordable and easy to use. I had no problem getting anywhere I needed to be in just minutes.
I slept very comfortably in the queen size bed. Those light-blocking curtains are no joke if you need to get some extra sleep. The weather was cold and rainy while I was in Austin, but the TV was really easy to use and I was watching Cosmos on Netflix in no time. Tre also has a very large book, graphic novel & movie collection and the wireless signal is great. The room has a desk, so I was able to catch up on some work too. Believe me when I say that staying entertained in this house is no issue.
Can I nerd out about the private bath for a minute? When I walked in, I was greeted with shampoo, conditioner, soap, body wash, toothpaste, qtips, etc., which was fantastic because I’m a very light packer and absolutely never want to carry any of that stuff on a plane. The water pressure/temp was great and lasted all through my terribly long showers. Most importantly, though: the bathroom is heated! I mean, I don’t know what type of futuristic mansion you live in if flipping on a switch and just having the bathroom heat up isn’t the best thing on a cold day.
I didn’t get to enjoy any of the backyard amenities, but I did step out in the huge backyard (I had direct access to it!) and took a peek at the pool. I can’t wait to come back in sunnier weather and enjoy it! I’m so grateful for all the genuine hospitality I received. Tre, the house, and the location are all sincerely great. This is the only place I ever want to stay in Austin!"
4758424,38965407,2015-07-19,38336414,Tony,"Headed to Austin for a getaway weekend, tried using AirBnB for the first time ever. My GF and I were a little skeptical at first just because the idea of staying with a complete stranger was new to us ..well that changed once we met Tre. He made us feel right at home with his good manors and laid back personality. The house and layout were exactly as pictured and mentioned in the ad, absolutely no complaints there. Bedroom was huge and bed was amazing. Tre was even awesome enough to sit down with us and tell us where to go and some things to check out around town. I highly reccomend staying here if you're in the Austin area, I'll be coming back!"
4758424,40982972,2015-08-03,35487467,Gregory,"DEFINITELY STAY HERE! Why anyone else would stay at any other AirBnB is beyond me. Tre was a fantastic host. The room was exactly as described, the supplies in the bathroom were extremely thoughtful. The bathroom and bedroom were both spotless. Tre even went out of his way to park on the road so we could park in the driveway! The room was always a comfortable temperature, and the pool was always refreshing and clean. Tre goes out of his way to make sure to take care of everything you need, ranging from towels for swimming in case you don't have your own, to more bathroom supplies if need be, and even inviting you to hang out with him and his friends while they swim or hang out. He has made us feel extremely comfortable in his home. Although he is very busy some evenings, he makes it a point to check in as frequently as he can. We've even had dinners together! He is extremely accessible for any questions or concerns. At one point there was an issue with the internet, and he got it sorted out almost immediately, but while the internet was down he let us watch any of his movies that we wanted. He has 3 cats and 2 dogs. They are all EXTREMELY friendly. The cats love to cuddle up next to you. If I had the choice to stay here again or somewhere else, I would pick here every time. 10/10."
4758424,46435210,2015-09-10,35487467,Gregory,"I loved it so much I stayed another month. Again, wonderful place to stay. Don't overlook this wonderful stay with a kind and helpful host"
4758424,48890309,2015-09-29,10921888,Zhen Chien,"My girlfriend and I booked an AirBnB with Tre for 4 nights during our first trip to Austin. While we only visited briefly, we felt like we had a home away from home in the spacious bedroom that he provided. The private bathroom and access to the backyard were also great additions that made our stay extra comfortable. As a couple of design + tech nerds, we loved his comic book inspired murals on the wall which went well with the minimal and modern accents. His home was accurate to the description, tidy and welcoming. We also had the opportunity to meet his 2 dogs and 3 cats all of which were well-mannered and super sweet.

Tre on the other hand was a cool dude—a friendly and talented video game artist and an exceptional host. Though we didn’t get to hang out much because of our tight schedule, we had good conversations and even a few restaurant suggestions. He made sure to provide us with anything that could make our experience worthwhile, including a mounted screen in the bedroom that offered computer access and Netflix. Of course this was hardly necessary considering that his home was only a 5 min Uber drive from so many awesome eateries, bars, and shops—let alone a 10 min drive from downtown Austin! The place was an incredible steal and Tre’s kind hospitality added up to a great trip for us.

We will definitely consider his home the next time we’re in the city and recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh and hip place to stay."
4758424,49532369,2015-10-04,32809529,Roger,Excellent room at a great price point and location.  Huge room with private own bath.  The room has unique tasteful art.  Located a few minutes away from downtown and close to main streets.  Bed is comfy and warm.  Tre was readily available to answer questions and made us feel welcomed.  Thank you for hosting us! 
4275236,22728215,2014-11-12,319240,Matthias,"Wow, a great little place of our own. Wonderful. With a warm welcome we felt at home from the first minute on. Thank you!"
4275236,28395038,2015-03-23,23638491,Daniel,"The place is adorable and really centrally located for us, we walked to almost everything we did. Brent and Erin were great, super nice people. I would definitely recommend here as a place to stay."
2200205,18506639,2014-08-27,20329761,Jessica,"Nan was a thoughtful and warm host and the place is beautifully situated!  I was able to walk up and down South Congress to my heart's content. The studio apt is very new, the bathroom, bed, and couch all very comfortable, neat, and clean. Right when I got there, we talked for a few minutes and in addition to being a great conversationalist (we found common ground quickly: Nan and her daughter volunteer a great deal and I work at a tech company as the volunteer liaison to dozens of nonprofits) she also gave recommendations on what to check out nearby. She was accessible via text for my random questions about where to park, etc, and even provided a beach towel and extra water bottles to cool down from the Austin heat in August. The place was perfect for me, a party of one in the city for the first time. Fantastic value and so glad I chose this cute homey spot for my time in Austin.  "
2200205,20212917,2014-09-25,5416169,Ann,"Nan was super accommodating and flexible and the place was exactly as described. From the looks of the neighborhood I thought it might get noisy but it's a peaceful little spot despite being centrally located. She also left two keys to the apartment, which I always appreciate when I'm traveling with my boyfriend or a friend (we're not always in the same place at the same time). My boyfriend appreciated the little snacks and drinks left in the minifridge. My boyfriend tends to value money-saving over location-niceness when we travel, but I encouraged him to consider staying in nicer bnbs even if they were slightly more expensive. He was so happy with the decision to stay at Nan's place, he actually asked if we could somehow bookmark the location to use it again when we go back to Austin. (I told him airbnb makes it easy to remember where you've stayed.) Great apartment in a great location. "
2200205,22833331,2014-11-16,21858924,Doris,The loft was great.  Everything was in stellar condition.  Nan is a great host--very personable.  The loft is in a great neighborhood.  Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in SoCo and South First.  It's a $6 Uber ride to downtown.  This is my second time staying this loft.  I would recommend it to anyone.  
2200205,24538768,2014-12-30,2016731,David,"I stay in Austin about once a year, in the South Congress area, and I'm so glad to have found Nan's studio. It's just what I am looking for: comfortable, clean, and quiet... and in a fantastic location. The price is right as well. Nan is a great host."
2200205,26252723,2015-02-08,4711339,Andrew,"My girlfriend and I have used Airbnb a bit. Nan & Jeff have been our favorite hosts so far. Both were really warm, friendly, and inviting while also not being intrusive. The space was great and perfectly described. The location was amazing too. Highly recommend Nan and the Art Alley Lofts, we will definitely be staying here again."
2200205,26430742,2015-02-12,26216326,Dan,Nan met me as I was dropped off at the studio apartment.  Great location of South Congress where there are many restaurants and stores.  Nan was very nice and accommodating.  Amenities here that you don't get at a hotel at a much better price.  Loved it.  
2200205,26520665,2015-02-15,3250642,Christopher Mark,"Everything was perfect. The studio was immaculate and just as described. The place is steps from the South Congress street, and we made good use of the free bikes to explore all of Austin. Nan was also a fantastic host. She was very easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was perfect. The home brewed beer and pecans fresh from her tree were the icing on the cake."
2200205,27132667,2015-02-26,12222206,Vickery,"Nan was very responsive and flexible, which was important because my plane was delayed five hours. And when I had questions for her, she was easy to reach and answered immediately. She was great!!"
2200205,27600666,2015-03-08,27873175,Steve,The studio was just has described and very clean.  They both were very helpful throughout the whole process and offered many suggestions around the area.  I would recommend this listing to anyone and I would stay here again. 
2200205,29816997,2015-04-13,25747044,Natalie,"Nan was so hospitable, we had a great time, it's in a great location, walking distance to so many great shops, restaurant and clubs. We will certainly be visiting again."
2200205,31583543,2015-05-07,29183946,Diana,The room was just as advertised.  Nan was a great host.  Great location and really enjoyed the space.  Would definitely stay there again.
2200205,31884156,2015-05-11,2545131,Chloe,"The studio was very cute and super clean -  exactly as pictured. It's perfect for either a couple or two friends traveling together because the futon folds into a second, full-sized bed. The location is perfect - less than a block off of South Congress near lots of adorable restaurants and shops. We easily could have spent our whole vacation in that neighborhood - it's great. But if you want to venture out, most of the rest of Austin is no more than a 10 min car ride away. There is a bus on South Congress that goes straight downtown and there are countless ubers available in the area. Overall, a great place to stay. "
2200205,33387416,2015-05-27,26131114,Carley,Great location and great host! Nan made sure that we had everything we needed and even brought us home brewed beer. The loft was lovely and I would absolutely stay there again on another trip to Austin!
2200205,34899868,2015-06-13,31621528,Pamela,"Nan was fantastic! She made sure we had everything we needed including beach towels to use at Barton Springs.  She also brought us some homemade craft beer! Although I was a former Austinite, Nan had some great suggestions for places to go.  The studio itself was so comfortable with a comfy bed and great wifi There is a fantastic courtyard that is comfortable for hanging out early in the day or later at night (it was hot when we visited).  The studio is perfectly located in the heart of South Congress- just a few blocks from Guero's, Continental Club, Allen's boots, and all the great vintage stores.  I can't say enough about Nan and her great studios! Highly recommended!"
2200205,36104731,2015-06-25,29130265,Margaret,Nan was a great host. She was very accommodating and spent time making sure that we had what we needed and gave us recommendations. The studio was very clean and looked like it did in the photos. There were even snacks and beverages stocked up for us when we arrived. The neighborhood is in a great location with many things to do in walking distance. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin!
2200205,44582765,2015-08-27,30809807,Victor,Nan was a gracious host and the place was as advertised. Great location within a short walking distance of plenty shops and restaurants. I would recommend inquiring about the residential parking permit if you plan to leave your car parked for an extend time (if you have a car).  I would stay here again. 
2200205,46781541,2015-09-13,42426011,Mikala,Nan was a great hostess. The apartment is in a wonderful location and was very clean and nice.  I will definitely stay with Nan again on my next trip to Austin.
2200205,49258987,2015-10-02,9798138,Andrew,"Another fantastic stay @ the Art Alley Lofts. Great communication with Nan is the norm, and the location simply can't be beat. Comfort + convenience = Art Alley lofts. Very happy to be a 'regular' :)"
2200205,53008334,2015-11-03,46970752,Liz,"What a find! Plenty of great shops and restaurants in walking distance- we spent a lot of time exploring the surrounding neighborhood. Downtown is a quick uber ride away- one day we opted to rent bikes and it was an easy 20 minute ride to downtown.
Nan was a wonderful hostess- the apartment was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay in the Art Lofts for any future trips to Austin! "
232796,785719,2011-12-14,1008463,Carl,"This place is the perfect yogi-chiller studio.
Couldn't imagine a nicer place, or a nicer location in Austin.
Walls filled with books on India, Flatscreen with DVD player/CD player and speakers, nice new appliances and nice shower-head.

My highest of recommendations!

232796,801973,2011-12-23,1475749,Annie,"From the moment I opened the door of this sweet house I fell in LOVE! So much light, adorable design, great conscious green choices like solar hot water, split AC/heaters, bio-clean detergent, etc. Loved cooking on the gas stove. This place is so conveniently located in the groovy heart of 78704... couldn't ask for a better location. Could easily walk to adorable shops, great tacos & more, and 24 hour pharmacy. Hop skip and jump from three great markets... Whole Foods in one direction, Central Market & Sprouts in the other. Close to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, great music venues. Quiet neighborhood. The owner, Earlynn, was especially helpful and quite frankly the sweetest person I have ever dealt with in handling my inquiry and questions. Will most certainly seek ou this delightful home on my next visit! Thanks for the hookup AirB&B!"
232796,951323,2012-02-27,614665,Evan,"Amazing space!  Amazing Location!!!

This large studio apartment was the perfect size and location for me!  The apartment is actually a small house in the 'backyard' of a larger house (currently occupied by 3 awesome people!) but with plenty of privacy.  There was ample street parking and great proximity to bars, restaurants, and anything else you could want.

I did a lot of running while in Austin and it just over 1 mile down to Town Lake Trail and the Greenbelt.

Loved the place and my stay in Austin would not have been the same if I had not stayed here!!!"
232796,975948,2012-03-06,1723555,Stephanie,"A friend + I met in Austin, and stayed in Earlynn's lovely guest house. It was everything I hoped... and within walking distance of South Congress (though we like to walk!). We really appreciated being in a residential neighborhood, and Earlynn was responsive, thoughtful, and made us feel right at home. I will definitely come back here when I return to Austin. Thanks, Earlynn!"
232796,981680,2012-03-08,325822,Anthony,Great place in a great neighborhood.
232796,998667,2012-03-14,964490,Peter,The studio is a really lovely place in the south of Austin which helped us to feel a bit of home during our stay at SXSW. We have been here with two persons and we really had a lot of space. The bus (bus stop ca. 200m away) took us every day to the city to the conference and it drove ca. 10min to downtown. The contact with Earlynn and her daughter were also nice. So I really recommend this studio when staying in Austin. 
232796,1015891,2012-03-19,1378092,Rose,"Earlynn has a beautiful studio surrounded by trees, plants and birds. As a previous reviewer noted, her place is super-conveniently located near a bus that will take you right downtown. You can walk to ZiIker Park, Barton Springs, South Congress and other enjoyable places. Her studio is quiet and spacious. She is a lovely person to deal with. I highly recommend renting from her!"
232796,1070794,2012-04-02,1459197,Denise,"When my husband and I found out we were moving to Austin, we got online and chose the Peaceful Studio as our landing spot for when we arrived.  From the first inquiry emails all the way through to our departure, it was easy and pleasant to work with Earlynn and her trusty crew.

The house was clean and bright and, as others have mentioned, in a great location.  Earlynn was very responsive to our needs.  When the need arose, she quickly delivered a new queen-sized bed to the studio -  it was very comfortable. We also appreciated the Berky water filter in the kitchen.

Thank you!"
232796,1115381,2012-04-12,1925810,Joe,"My wife and I have stayed is several different places in Austin when we go back to visit.  This is number one.  It's cozy, well equipped and newly built and set is a lovely quiet location in the back yard of an older home.  You can walk to many restaurants etc and is about 20 mins walk to Zilker and town lake."
232796,1154265,2012-04-20,753945,Dan,Great house in a great spot. They checked to make sure everything was fine (and it was). Home Slice pizza made us almost never use the ample kitchen.  Easy walk to Zilker Park and Barton Springs.
232796,1172515,2012-04-23,2145772,Adrian,"I love love love this place!! It was even nicer than I expected. Very clean, quite, private, and spacious. Staying at a hotel cannot compare. I highly recommend to anyone to stay here. I plan on staying here again when I travel to Austin. I thoroughly recommend this cozy retreat! Thank You Earlynn and Shannon for your hospitality!"
232796,1185988,2012-04-26,2140677,Marlow,"Everything,promised and more! Private, quite, clean, well furnished and decorated, the BED and linens were SO COMFORTABLE. Updated/modern air condtioners were very quite, great water filter,beautiful yard and view from the bedroom. Close to everything we wanted with parking always on our street. Only talked to Earlynn and her daughter on the phone but both were great host and we felt like we could call anytime if we needed. It was easy to stay here and we felt like it was our place while we were there. We will stay again! Total find and a steal to boot!"
232796,1200851,2012-04-30,1309137,Amber,"My husband and I chose to stay at Earlynn's place last weekend.  The transaction was totally smooth and Earlynn was always quick to respond to my messages.  As for the studio, it was AMAZING!!!  So much more than we could have imagined.  It was equipped with everything we needed and we were delighted to find fresh ground coffee waiting for us.  The studio was clean and surprisingly roomy.  This was our first visit to Austin and it just wouldn't have been the same if we had stayed somewhere else- we will definitely stay here the next time we visit Austin!"
232796,1223206,2012-05-03,2011754,Julie,"Earlynn's studio was exactly as described. It was very accessible, clean, private, and peaceful. Both Earlynn and her daughter were responsive and accommodating hosts. I would definitely stay at the cottage again. "
232796,1239524,2012-05-07,2026291,Jake And Pam,"A perfect getaway spot! We are delighted to find this peaceful and lovely studio in the '04, as our family lives in the neighborhood.  From the moment we made our way down the gravel path to the front stoop with a serene Buddha to welcome us, we knew that our stay would be wonderful.  All was as described and pictured in the images Earlynn provided and while we never met our hostess or her helpful daughter Shannon, we felt welcomed. We hope to return and return again and again....Grateful for this home away from home, Pam and Jake "
232796,1277843,2012-05-14,1873344,Danna,"We really enjoyed our stay in Earlynn's guest house. The inside was very clean, open, and inviting. And the price was fantastic! We are cyclists and we enjoyed not having to deal with getting our bikes up stairs or in elevators as is typical with most hotels. When there is a car in the driveway it is a bit of a squeeze to both not hit the parked car and not trample the garden while getting bikes in/out but I think we managed okay:) The grass along the walkway to the entrance of the guesthouse was quite high, which was a little itchy on my legs. But overall we HIGHLY recommend this private guesthouse. It was wonderful!"
232796,1326683,2012-05-22,540260,Libby,I had the best time in Austin and I couldn't ask for a better place to stay. It was just perfect for my boyfriend and I. I would definitely stay again and plan on returning next year! Thank you so much.
232796,1359101,2012-05-27,2394521,Carli,"This was a lovely home - immaculate, eco-friendly, convenient, exactly as described/pictured, with helpful hosts. I might hesitate to stay in this area again because the train siren (perhaps on the other side of Lamar) woke our young child every three hours at night. Otherwise, we had a great stay and would recommend this studio and host."
232796,1387564,2012-05-31,1809795,Peter,"The Peaceful Studio was the perfect accommodation for our Austin trip.  The location was close to everything on our list.  The space is beautiful and calming.  The location behind the main house assured peach and quiet.  I really liked having a washer and dryer, made drying towels a breeze after going to Barton Springs.  I would highly recommend."
232796,1401300,2012-06-02,2394380,Tev,Great space in a great location! 
232796,1465510,2012-06-12,14047,Angela,"Earlynn's peaceful studio was beautiful, and indeed - very peaceful. The luxury studio had everything we needed, and Earlynn was very kind to allow us in earlier than expected. All beds, including the sofa, were comfy, the wi-fi very fast (and the bbq joint around the corner on Lamar, very tasty). Thanks, Earlynn!"
232796,1574101,2012-06-27,2249396,Tanja,"Great place. Personable, quiet and in a great location. "
232796,1647572,2012-07-07,2160829,Richard,"I needed to have knee replacement surgery recently and I currently live in a third floor walkup. Obviously, that was not going to work!  While trying to decided between trying to talk the insurance company into extending my hospital stay (unlikely) and checking into a cheap motel, I ran across the ad for Earlynn's studio.

I cannot say enough about how perfect my stay was.  Earlynn did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable, including giving me the quiet time I needed to recover.  Everything in the studio is right there at your fingertips and the simple elegance of the interior is comforting. 

Several of my visitors commented on the great location and all agreed it would be as perfect for an adult weekend away from the kids, as it was for convalescing after surgery.

Five stars in my book...

Cheers,

Rick"
232796,1778200,2012-07-23,2680289,Hannah,Perfect for our relaxing get away. Beautiful space filed with positive energy. Did not want to leave!
232796,2653522,2012-10-19,1824737,Jan  Wardell,"Earlynn's peaceful studio was truly that!! It was very well maintained & the bed was extremely comfortable & firm for a good night's sleep. Any concern was dealt with immediately, but let me add there were only one or two minor (website hidden). I couldn't figure out how to tell if the air conditioning was on or off,so she came over right away & left me clear instructions. I loved it so much I plan to book again & my sister has already booked in for a week  next spring. I highly recommend her studio for your stay. It comes fully equipped & Earlynn is a great host. "
232796,2682452,2012-10-22,3585607,Lee,"My college roommate and I had a great time staying at your house for our girl's weekend.  It was sunny, clean, and super comfortable!  We were very impressed with the upkeep of the house and how close it was to the fun areas of town.  We sang your praises all weekend so hopefully it won't be booked when we want to come back!"
232796,2763342,2012-10-30,3802001,Nick,"Sorry for the late review!!  We had a very eventful and ultimately dangerous trip back to New York due to the Hurricane and have been busy putting the life back together.

Earlynn's studio was nothing short of amazing.  Tastefully appointed space with great light and a pervasive vibe of peace, comfort, and thoughtfulness.  You will be compelled to leave the space as good as you found it, it is that special.  Earlynn's daughter was our liason and she was most pleasant and easy to confer with.  The location is great with plenty of good bars and restaurants within walking distance of the charming neighborhood.  Enjoy, I know you will.  Thanks Earlynn!"
232796,2786224,2012-11-02,3762115,Dustin,"This place is great. Very clean and comfortable. We had no issues while staying here. It's great to have a private place to stay, 100% better than a hotel for the same price! Thank you!"
232796,2825634,2012-11-07,3611549,Patrick,"I couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to stay during my weekend trip in Austin! The condo was amazing -- perfect location, extremely clean, extraordinarily comfortable. I honestly can't say enough good things about my first time AirBnB experience with Earlynn's condo. Absolutely wonderful, and I WILL be staying there again!"
232796,2855711,2012-11-11,1993000,James,"Lovely apartment in nice safe area, never met the host but comms were good and had no problems, was easily contactable if needed.
Left the car parked outside the 4 days we were there as buses good for downtown - 2 dollars for a 24hr pass, good place for breakfast is a 15min walk away, go to traffic lights over to Mary Street then walk over rail crossing on to next lights, Bouldin Cafe on corner, you can drive but walking walks off the food! from there keep walking to Congress Avenue and get the 1M or 1N bus Downtown. 
If ever in Austin would stay there again for sure. Thanks Earlyn. "
232796,2925195,2012-11-20,1665371,Simon,"Our stay at Earlynn's cottage was wonderful! Very cute, well maintained cottage in a quiet area but a less than ten minute drive from downtown. Even though Earlynn couldn't be there to meet us, she left us the keys and made sure we could get in. Instructions were very clear on how to access wifi, turn on the heater/AC etc. and we had a lovely time.

Highly recommended! Thank you, Earlynn!!"
232796,2965654,2012-11-26,3745595,Brandon,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it could not of been better! The place was great and in an awesome location.  I had never been to Austin before, but this place was near everything I wanted to see and do.  I for sure see another stay in my future!"
232796,3657368,2013-03-01,1128903,Robert,Excellent private peaceful place to stay.  Fairly new and well maintained.Communication with owner easy and (website hidden) close to excellent restaurants and entertainment.I give it an excellent rating
232796,3680873,2013-03-03,5184408,Megan,"My boyfriend and I stayed in this quaint little place and really enjoyed ourselves. The house was the perfect size for 2 and in a very peaceful location. We were greeted with coffee and fresh fruits by the hostess, which was lovely. I definitely recommend the place to others!"
232796,3745338,2013-03-11,4508487,Samir,"Earlynn's place was wonderful. Clean, peaceful, conveniently located -- great bed, bathroom, kitchen -- everything you could ask for. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin,"
232796,3843471,2013-03-20,27889,Simon,"We really enjoyed our first visit to Austin. The location of this accommodation is fantastic. An easy bus ride into town for the princely sum of $1! There is a good bar within easy walking distance (Black Sheep Lodge) that's well worth calling in to for its extensive selection of beers and good vibe. 
The accommodation has everything you need and is a good size too. We would definitely stay here again."
232796,3879639,2013-03-24,4422429,Brandon,"Beautiful home and accomodating hosts. There was fruit and coffee upon arrival and the previous guests left us a few beers, so we did the same! Great location. Check out Black Sheep Lounge nearby! "

232796,4267798,2013-04-23,5269994,Linda,This really was a peaceful place to stay!  It was convenient and extremely relaxing.  The bed was the most comfortable away-from-home bed I've ever slept in and I have a very bad back.  My husband and I would definitely try to stay here again when we return to Austin.
232796,4551260,2013-05-12,1795504,Elizabeth,Earlynn was a great hostess - we didn't actually see her during our visit since our flight arrived late. She left me a voice-mail in-flight to ensure we had her info and knew where to pick up the key. She also left us a lovely fruit bowl which was so helpful since we were exhausted after our flight! The place was lovely and we enjoyed our stay immensely. Looking forward to staying there again someday!
232796,4839389,2013-05-28,1459197,Denise,"My hubby and I stayed at Earlynn's place last year when we first arrived in Austin.  It was a great stay for us then, so when hubby needed a place for a stay-cation, we thought it would be a great place for that.

That little house is fantastic - bright, clean, peaceful.  It's just big enough to give space when you need it and everything is easy to find.  Earlynn was and is wonderful to work with and she's responsive to any inquiries and needs.  

Thank you!"
232796,5201517,2013-06-17,5801844,Alejandra,"Such a lovely place! The neighborhood was super quiet, it didn't feel like I was in the city. There were so many great businesses in the surrounding areas, we couldn't stop exploring. The house was amazing! It was so comfortable and it was equipped with everything I needed. Earlynn was great at working with our schedule and quick to reply. Loved loved loved. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
232796,6077650,2013-07-29,7039696,Heather,"Loved loved Loved our stay at Peaceful Place! Super space with a loft like spacious feel. If you're a clean freak like me, this is your place, it's uber-clean! And Earlynn's attention to detail is fantastic. She has fluffy towels and stocks her fridge with delicious organic coffee and cream. Every piece of organic fruit she left us was perfectly ripe--I would not make that up! Don't get me started on location...If you're looking for the South Austin experience, you're done, click ""Book It."" Tip: the fabulous Moonlight Bakery is only a stones throw away on S. Lamar. Get yourself a brioche to go with Earlynn's delicious coffee. No need to cook breakfast.  But if you are so inclined, her kitchen is well appointed. "
232796,6514438,2013-08-15,7487087,Peter,We had a great time in Austin.  Earlynn went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.  She even hand drew us a map of the city pointing out some things she thought we would enjoying doing.  Her place was perfect and was very relaxing.  Would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to people traveling to Austin.
232796,6660005,2013-08-20,6779632,Michelle,"My brother and I had a wonderful time staying at Earlynn's lovely home in Austin, TX. It is located in a peaceful and quiet neighborhood that is only a short drive to downtown. I highly recommend anyone who is visiting Austin to stay at Earlynn's place. As an addition to the comfortable bed and futon and great water pressure, the host was gracious enough to stock fresh fruit, delicious coffee, and leave her recommendations for Austin restaurants.  "
232796,6794014,2013-08-25,8034596,Nicole,"As advertised, truly a peaceful place.  The previous reviews were spot on -this place is exceptionally clean and clearly a beloved space.  It felt like a thoughtful relative was expecting us -fresh fruit, handwritten notes to explain any details, and even a small personal library!"
232796,7018759,2013-09-03,4855994,Ben,Really good. Air conditioner worked fine to handle the heat in early September. Plenty of space and nice location.
232796,7362800,2013-09-17,3274729,Jake And Pam,"We've been fortunate to stay at Earlynn's wonderful place and our return visit was as ideal as the first.  As others have mentioned, she is a generous hostess- thinks of every detail one might need- and in our instance, when i left behind some earrings, she went out of her way to drop the earrings off to our family who live nearby.  That same family is our lure for visits to Austin, and finding a home away from home like Earlynn's that is so near to their home is a dream come true for us.  As someone wrote in an earlier review.  If you are looking for the perfect location and place to stay while you visit Austin.  Look no further.   Thanks so much Earlynn. Pam and Jake"
232796,7478483,2013-09-22,2281403,Lyona,"We loved this unit it was such a great space, we had three people and it felt very spacious and relaxing. About 2 miles from downtown it was easy to access everything we wanted to see or do. The parking situation could be a bit tricky since it was curbside parking but we never had an issue and we always felt safe. Also while we where there the internet password wasn't working but we had our own internet so we didn't really mind. Although we never met Earlynn personally she was easy to communicate with and gave us great suggestions for the area. Definitely recommend this space."
232796,7584303,2013-09-25,1481761,Robert,"We had a wonderful stay with Earlynn  in Austin in September 2014. To be honest we never  even had to talk on the phone, because her text and email communication was so exact and on spot. Furthermore, notes and instructions inside the unit made it clear exactly how we should optimize everything that was there. We had a car, but I think you could've gotten around Austin from the unit perfectly fine on bicycle and bus. One note for those who are attractive to mosquitoes, you may want to bring your bug spray.  This spot seem to have more of them than many of the other places I have stayed at in Austin this time of year. I'll be back!"
232796,7830394,2013-10-05,6357940,Demelza,"We loved staying here! It deserves its title and was incredibly peaceful and felt like a bit of luxury with the amount of space, garden all around and vista from the bedroom. Everything was easily and well organised and the TV/internet and other instructions were easy to follow and appreciated. Delicious peaches and fruit on arrival as well as coffee to use were a very nice touch. We wished we were staying longer and would definitely recommend this peaceful place to anyone. "
232796,7868177,2013-10-07,2621495,Craig,Great place to stay.  Earlyn had pretty much anything you need including tea and coffee for her guests.  Close to lots of places to eat and we were able to walk to ACL.  Couldn't beat it.
232796,8076854,2013-10-15,1570428,Michael,"I stayed at the Peaceful Place for ACL 2nd weekend and in spite of the rain, thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Directions were clear and concise and Earlynn was absolutely wonderful and patient. Although I originally booked the place for a month, I needed to make a couple of changes and she was quick to respond to my queries. The place itself is fantastic too - very close to where you want to be. The wifi connection was recently upgraded and all the amenities you need. Do you really need 500 tv  stations? Not if you plan on actually going out and doing things in one if the greatest US cities! I recommend staying at the peaceful place even just 1 night, if not 20 or 30. Great neighborhood and well, just fantastical. Thanks again Earlynn!!"
232796,8374761,2013-10-28,8996666,Wendy,"It truly is a peaceful place! The perfect spot for a relaxing weekend getaway in Austin--lovely space with lots of light, beautiful garden, and in a fun, walkable neighborhood. Earlynn is a thoughtful and organized hostess--special touches like tasty coffee and a handwritten welcome note made the stay memorable. Highly recommended!"
232796,8450472,2013-10-31,3008143,Sarah,"Earlynn's Peaceful Place was just that - I had such a nice stay in this private, clean, comfortable space. Complete with laundry, a yoga mat for morning stretches, a sliding glass door off my bedroom that opened out to the sweetest little patio and garden area. I travel often for work, and to have a relaxing place to come back to after stressful meetings was a dream. The neighborhood was charming to stroll around in, and I found amazing food and coffee options within just a few blocks. Picnik for Paleo inspired breakfast and Barley Swine for amazing dinner were top of my list. Austin has much to offer and this is a great home base for any area adventures! I hope to be back again. "
232796,8686572,2013-11-12,8556488,Dena,"the peaceful place is exactly that, a lovely space with great feng shui. the outdoor area provided privacy and beauty. the fabulous music selection and fully stocked kitchen were a nice touch, and thanks so much for the coffee and snacks! :) The bed was very comfortable too. I will seek you out again the next time I'm in Austin!
Peace, Dena"
232796,8811511,2013-11-19,6364473,Kerry,We stayed for a long weekend and had a great visit. The place was very clean and well maintained. Great privacy and a nice quiet neighborhood. I will definitely be back next time I am in town!
232796,8906537,2013-11-25,9712371,Robin,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the peaceful place in south Austin!  The house is so clean, comfortable and relaxing!  I arrived in Austin after midnight on a cold, rainy night and Lacy had left the heat on for me.  So thoughtful!  I can't wait to return and couldn't recommend this place enough.  Thank you Earlynn and Lacy!"
232796,8994263,2013-12-01,2406185,Maggie,"I rented the place for my parents to stay in while they visited us here in Austin (we live in the same neighborhood as a peaceful place). It was just perfect. My parents who are older just loved having their own little place with a kitchen which was set up with fruit and coffee. It was a cold weekend and the hosts left the place nice and toasty and had the lights on for us. The place was spotless and my parents who can be quite picky about accommodations were just thrilled. Thanks, Earlynn and Lacy!"
232796,9202958,2013-12-13,2011222,Caroline,"We had a great time at Earlynn's place. It was so cute and comfortable, very clean, with lots of natural light. The amenities are very nice - the little corner office, the kitchen, washer and dryer... and yoga mats! YAY!  After a couple of days my son was already calling it ""our home"". :) We'll definitely come back to the peaceful place. Thank you so much Earlynn and Lacy! "
232796,9916841,2014-01-19,10877006,Brianna,"This house is in such an amazing location! We walked to everything. It is about 30 minutes to walk to SoCo or downtown on Lamar....we are big walkers though! 
There are train tracks pretty close to the house so if you are a light sleeper like I am, make sure you bring ear plugs. I happened to have some with me and after that slept great! 
If you are going to go grocery shopping, make sure you bring the bag in the pantry with you so you don't have to pay for one at the store. 
Lacy and Earylynn were very attentive to anything that we needed, although we didn't ask for much! Truly a great place to stay and would stay here again for sure! "
232796,10952840,2014-03-15,2649133,Leo,"We stayed in a group of 5 friends at Earlynn's place. The house is perfect, has everything we needed and also has transportation near for all Austin. Great place to stay! "
232796,17043904,2014-08-06,3531819,Lucy,"We loved the space. Beautiful, comfortable, very peaceful, filled with amazing light. Our favorite place that we have stayed in Austin. We hope to stay there again next year. "
232796,17462301,2014-08-12,1129010,Nick,"Looking for a private bungalow in South Austin, this is your place. My wife and newborn son stayed at Earlynn's place for 5 days and had a great time. Earlynn was a great host and left helpful instructions on the house and was available if we needed her. The house was just the right size for the 3 of us, and it was really nice and convenient to have the laundry and kitchen with a newborn. The location was central to tons of great places to eat and see. We even took a swim in Barton Springs (highly recommend) the morning before we left for the airport which was a quick 5 min car ride. The house was really cool thanks to an air conditioner and fans that made it really comfortable despite the weather. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Earlynn."
232796,17854697,2014-08-18,4019484,Casey,"Definitely a recommended stay!  The description of the place is spot on.  This location was perfect for us to take our bikes to the Lady Bird Lake Hike and Bike trail, Austin's downtown, and Barton (website hidden) was great for mid-August heat (and it was hot!).  Very clean, charming, and peaceful.  We greatly enjoyed our weekend and would love to return.  "
232796,18781734,2014-09-01,6306543,Sonia,"The studio apartment is beautifully decorated and Earlynn has thought of every little detail! It has absolutely everything you could possibly need. She had even left coffee and creamer for us and we found plenty of other things in the pantry and fridge for us to help ourselves.  We felt at home from the beginning. The location is ideal, in a very quiet street, but very close to everything in south Austin.  Thanks again for having us! "
232796,19652886,2014-09-15,21140123,Stuart,"My girlfriend and I stayed here for the weekend and it had everything we would have possibly needed and more. It was very clean, in a great location, quiet, and well maintained. The location is nearby downtown, South Congress, Zilker, and pretty much all the hotspots you would want to visit in Austin. "
232796,20277858,2014-09-27,16818962,Simon,"I honestly can't recommend Earlynn's place enough.
The space is airy, light and spacious with all the mod cons you could need.
I'm a light sleeper and haven't slept as well in years as I have for the last 2 weeks.
Great location for a stroll across to Congress or straight down Kinney to Barton Springs and beyond.
Lots of places to eat on Lamar and the brilliant Opa for a coffee or something stronger right around the corner.
Most importantly Earlynn was so accommodating, friendly and easy to deal with from the very first mail.
She has clearly taken a lot of care to create such a peaceful environment and really considered her tenants comfort as a priority here, even down to a fine selection of coffees on hand.
All in all perfect!! Thankyou Earlynn !!
"
232796,20892004,2014-10-07,14768303,Autumn,I stayed here with my Best Friend for ACL. Earlynn greeted us and was so sweet. The place was perfect for the two of us and close to the festival. We loved the space and are hoping to stay there again on our next trip to Austin. 
232796,21653760,2014-10-21,1962563,Margie,"Earlynn was very accommodating, letting us check in a bit early after I called to tell her we'd be done with lunch and grocery shopping before the 3 p.m. check-in.  Her place is as described -- very peaceful and with many personal touches.  We really appreciated the comfy bed, great water pressure, walk-in closet off the bathroom and the fresh fruit waiting for us.
We didn't have a car because our daughter drove us around, and she never had a hard time finding on-street parking.  We would definitely recommend Earlynn's place."
232796,22938103,2014-11-17,5154266,Raquel,"Earlynn was extremely prompt, communicative and responsive - we booked their place at the last minute the night before our stay, and she immediately sent over check-in instructions, as well as contact information. Before we arrived, she realized that the heater was not functioning properly, so she upgraded us immediately, free of charge, and made sure to check-in to be sure we were warm and had everything we needed. The place was clean, comfy, cozy - we will definitely stay here again!"
232796,23794325,2014-12-10,10668097,Casey,"A peaceful place in Austin was a dream. We had such a great time in the city and this little cottage was the perfect place to call home. Backyard smells like fresh baked cookies, birds are chirping in the morning and most importantly, the location is great! Our host was very attentive and even gave us some good travel recommendations. Will definitely come back! "
232796,23882765,2014-12-13,24600237,Dolores,"First time for me and my sister for Austin and for Airbnb. We loved both. Everything was as described in the listing--very quiet and everything you need.  We only had 3 nights  but would have been happy to stay longer. Bed and futon were both very comfortable.  George was there when we arrived. He was very nice and explained everything to us and even gave us quiche for the morning. Thanks George! Ver much appreciated.
Place was immaculate and would stay here again
Car rental fell through and we managed quite well taking the bus (apartment is 2 blocks from bus into Austin). Don't think you need a car unless you go on day trips"
232796,24268963,2014-12-24,15496425,Monika,"Perfect house with an exceptional layout! Would not mind living here full-time. Spacious with everything you could ask for. If ever in Austin, would definitely stay here for a second time! Thank you!"
232796,28157629,2015-03-19,8069754,Rob,"I never actually got the chance to meet my hosts. I was there for SXSW though so was keeping some pretty crazy hours. Every enquiry I made of them was answered really fast and enthusiastically. 

The place itself was fantastic. Really nice location, near to lots of really nice bars & restaurants but nice and quiet still. Good running locally too. "
232796,28307040,2015-03-22,26366655,Brad,Great place to stay relative to downtown Austin!  The property was exactly as represented and quite nice.  I'd definitely stay there again.
232796,28787010,2015-03-30,8648754,Jacqueline,"The house was clean and cozy, perfect for a couple or one person (or two people who are very close!). The neighborhood was adorable and within walking distance to several restaurants and bars. "
232796,31158808,2015-05-03,22818777,Patsy," ""A Peaceful Place"" was just as described, quiet and very welcoming...  I was there for a month and loved every minute.  The house was clean and had everything I needed to feel at Home!  The hosts were always helpful when I had a question or a problem.  It's the perfect place to stay while in Austin, whether you are there for business or pleasure. 
It's the Perfect place for one or two people."
232796,31596361,2015-05-07,865866,Noah,A lovely home in an amazing location. Quick walks to great food and parks. Nice and bright with everything you could need. Really appreciated the hospitality and quick responses.
232796,32754665,2015-05-21,936946,Angela,"The studio couldn't be more peaceful and comfortable! George was here when we arrived to help us get settled and provided excellent food recommendations for the area. The neighborhood was conveniently located walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shops. We would definitely stay here again. "
232796,33247610,2015-05-26,30019339,Charles,"We were very comfortable in A Peaceful Place. We had all of the conveniences of a rental and were located in both a quiet residential area and within easy access of the river and Downtown Austin.  This was our first AirB&B so we weren't aware that it was a straight rental and we would not ""meet the folks in the picture"". This was disappointing. That said, we enjoyed ourselves and the quiet neighborhood and would definitely recommend A Peaceful Place."
232796,33800413,2015-06-01,31104159,Joan,"Was as peaceful as advertised; felt homey and welcoming: all the comforts but also with a practical work-station setup. Kyle and George responded immediately to an initial texted question on my arrival and continued to provide friendly information about the surrounding offerings. A Peaceful Place offers a rare combination of being away from the downtown college student hoopla while being only a 5-10 minute drive from what downtown Austin and the University have to offer. Also within walking distance of one of Austin's best restaurants and some great music venues.
 This was my first Air B&B experience and it couldn't have been better. I want my company to send me to Austin again just so I can stay here again!"
232796,35241738,2015-06-16,18982753,Conner,"We loved this little place! It was so peaceful, comfortable, and clean. It’s perfect for someone in town for work or leisure. We were here for leisure, and we couldn’t have picked a better house or neighborhood. We were only ever 5-10 minutes away from Downtown and countless other places to eat and have fun. And at the end of the day, it was great to retreat to someplace so quiet and cozy. Our hosts were welcoming and accommodating, and provided excellent recommendations. We had a wonderful stay—thanks so much for having us!"
232796,35931237,2015-06-23,21176066,Barbara / Scott,Good location - safe as well as close to many desirable south austin amenities.  Hosts understanding of plan changes & attempted to accommodate.  Quiet.  Comfortable place & bed.  awesome to have W/D in unit - if you like clean clothes.  
232796,40605360,2015-08-01,15736242,Chris,"A great place to stay in Austin. All you need is at the house plus a garden. Friendly hosts and neighbors in a great neighborhood. Walking distance to restaurants, BBQ, local beers and Zilker Park. Highly recommended for a South Austin stay. "
232796,42409619,2015-08-13,14336963,Lucy,The listing description was accurate and the house was very clean and welcoming.  The only thing missing was a dresser or someplace to put our clothes. We were only in Austin for 3 days but if it had been longer we would have wanted a place to unpack.
232796,44382629,2015-08-25,41931374,Stephanie,"Super cute space! We didn't get a chance to meet the owners but they left easy to follow instructions for all amenities. Close to everything, quiet and inviting. Whole place kept cool even in the Austin heat! I'd stay here again in a second."
232796,46323804,2015-09-09,13630833,Dylan,"I stayed 3 nights in the rental unit prior to, and after, my wedding in Austin. The place is fantastic! Very clean, and quite nice. The bed is comfortable and the AC was cool. It is a very peaceful place. 

It was a little challenging to find at night, and since it is behind the house, I was a little reticent to go walking behind people's homes so late. Once you start walking back though, there are lights which are motion detected and come on. "
232796,47847005,2015-09-21,32064486,Charles,"This is a really great place to stay in Austin for any reason. As other reviews state, it is easy walking distance to really good, local eateries and some shopping. From a local's standpoint, my daughter owns a home off of South Congress, but this area is her favorite stomping ground. 
The little house was designed by Ezra Wheeler, a UT Architectural graduate currently practicing in San Francisco. As an Architect myself, I can say the house is really well thought out in terms of natural lighting, views and privacy. This was surely a challenge, as it is jammed into the corner of the back yard of the older main residence, but one gets the feeling of having the place to oneself. Well done. The interior allows for privacy as much as any 500 square foot dwelling can, but also felt comfortable when 6 other family members showed up to visit before heading out to a party.
The kitchen has everything one needs for cooking, plus a fair collection of spices and teas. The queen bed is very comfortable, as is the futon. I know, as I got relegated to it after a snoring episode one night...The bathroom includes the stacked washer and dryer, as well as a large closet with all the linens one needs- plus additional toiletries for the forgetful of us. The lavatory is in an odd place and while I understand architecturally why it was done, the girls didn't like it for makeup application. 
We would certainly stay there again when my daughter runs out of room at her home."
232796,49593359,2015-10-05,6458860,Nabhan,"Kyle has an amazing cozy little spot out the back of his house. Decent living spacing, air conditioned, fully equipped kitchen and good wifi. Unfortunately we only stayed a few days for ACL festival, but if I ever stay in town again would definitely stay here for longer to take full advantage. Thanks for having us! -Nab"
232796,51011565,2015-10-17,9078686,Susan,"A Peaceful Place was definitely what this was! The house is a great size for two people with all the comforts of home, everything we needed for a comfortable week's stay.  Kyle was easy to book with and was available throughout our stay and even provided us with some suggestions for local food and transportation. Super convenient walk to Zilker Park for ACL and short distance to Lamar for access to the bus.   Great places to eat and drink within walking distance. I would definitely recommend! "
232796,51550672,2015-10-21,20898848,John,We were very happy with the stay. We had a great location and a short ride to downtown. The residence was clean and neat. Very comfortable!
4295585,21905062,2014-10-26,5120407,Yarrow,"We loved this place! It was perfect for a weekend in Austin-- such a great location off of South Congress, but on a quiet block. We didn't have a car but there was always an Uber 2 mins away. The space was clean, well stocked, and with fresh linens. There was a super easy key situation and entrance that felt really private and independent (which we love!) We were there for such a short time so we didn't use the kitchen nor need laundry or anything, so not sure about that but the kitchen seemed great! The shower head and water temperature were really nice. I would highly recommend this place and would stay here again when traveling to Austin. "
4295585,24655032,2015-01-01,1374569,Jason,The SOCO treehouse was a great experience that went well beyond our expectations.  The property is in a great location where we were able to walk to most everything that we needed.  The property is well maintained and has a great floor plan with modern amenities.  The place was very well kept and it was very easy to access in order for us to come and go with ease.  Overall the property was well maintained and was a pleasure to stay at.
4295585,24872747,2015-01-03,21080107,Jessica,"Loved this place! Quiet, easy to get to, and REALLY CLOSE to South Congress. You can walk there in under 5 mins. Had all the things we needed. "
4295585,25000598,2015-01-04,25472705,Zack,"Clean, cozy, and convenient!!  We were so glad we stumbled upon this cute little apartment when searching for places to stay in the South Congress area.  It was a short walk to shops and restaurants yet quiet and quaint.  When we had questions Adam was quick to respond.  We were only there for one night and didn't use the kitchen but it appeared well equipped.  The record player and vintage classics were a nice touch.  We would stay here again and can definitely recommend it to you as well."
4295585,25287914,2015-01-11,25113763,Laurel,Our stay in Austin was made complete with a fabulous stay at Adam's flat. It's a convenient location off Congress with a lot to do within walking distance. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. No complaints! We would recommend it anytime.
4295585,25401861,2015-01-14,25274169,Andrew,Everything was great!
4295585,25506652,2015-01-18,3635001,Tyler,"Adam had great communication prior to arriving. Very responsive on Airbnb messages and provided a good welcome letter. Most expected amenities were there (towels, linens, etc) and the place was clean. The location is great. Just a 2-3 block walk from where S. Congress kicks in and within walking distance of many restaurants/bars. Neighborhood felt safe."
4295585,27789985,2015-03-12,2416355,Tara,The reservation was canceled 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4295585,27915695,2015-03-15,7321896,Dustin,"Adam's place was an excellent find. Its ideally located right off of South Congress, close to some of the best restaurants and shops Austin has to offer. Even while being so close to popular destinations, Adam's treetop suite is on a quiet neighborhood road. We loved the nearby park and treetops surrounding us. It's a great place for an Austin getaway!"
4295585,28101730,2015-03-17,11829254,Robert,Nice clean place at a good price. Close to a lot of great places on South Congress.
4295585,28298018,2015-03-22,24428324,Jeremy,"Adam's treehouse suite in SOCO was great! Adam was great as well, he was very responsive over messaging and his welcome letter was very informative of the place and surrounding area. The suite was clean, spacious and the WiFi was an awesome addition. I think the bonus was being located within walking distance of 3 very tasty places to eat (Magnolia Cafe, SoCo Cafe and of course Home Slice Pizza).  
    This would be a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin! For a for a tip, make sure you buy some groceries and take advantage of his fridge/kitchen area!
"
4295585,29205938,2015-04-05,29437092,Kaila,My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here.  It is the perfect size for 2 people and really cute! It has everything you would need for a stay.  The location is perfect - it is on a quiet street yet a short walk away from tons of great places.  Adam sent us an the wifi password and other important information before we got there and was quick to respond with any issues.  I would recommend this place!
4295585,29933862,2015-04-14,29579657,Kathryn,Great place.  Very convenient location!
4295585,30057076,2015-04-16,30366353,Chandler,I had a great time at Adam's SOCO treehouse loft. All the pictures were accurate and the location was great. A short walk or quick drive to just about anywhere in the Austin metro area. The loft itself was just the right size at a very reasonable price. Would recommend to anyone thinking about staying here. 
4295585,30217290,2015-04-19,27165144,Lance,"SOCO tree house is amazing!! You almost feel like you are in a rainforest with all the birds around you while still only being a few blocks walk to all the best restaurant, bars, and shops on South Congress. I'll be staying here again! Adam is also very prompt about getting back to you with any questions you may have. "
4295585,30486010,2015-04-22,18932041,Jamie,"The tree-house was so wonderful!  The location is superb and it has everything you could need for a fun stay in Austin.  Adam was so accommodating to my last minute arrival and had the place ready for me and my dog in no time, which I really appreciated!  I can't wait to stay at the tree house again. :)"
4295585,31270931,2015-05-03,32167536,Jason,Great location! A beautiful walk to so many Austin iconic locations. The treehouse was comfy and charming. Loved the beautiful trees. Was perfect for our weekend getaway!
4295585,33943713,2015-06-02,23156362,Lee,"My stay in the treehouse was just as I  anticipated. The location was great as it's right off of soco which provides super-easy access to shops, bars, restaurants, etc. Loved waking up and having my morning coffee on the deck before I started my day.  The accommodations were great and everything I would have ever needed was provided. Check in/out process was a breeze and Adam was quick to respond and answer any questions I had. Would definitely return."
4295585,34023565,2015-06-03,8223906,Lynn,"Adam's SOCO Treehouse studio was perfect for my brief visit to Austin. The location beats any hotel as it's walking or biking distance to many awesome locations. I strolled home at 2 am from S Lamar in perfect happiness and walked to Curra's for lunch the next day by way of the nearby green belt. When checking in, after a brief confusion regarding the key code, I reached Adam by phone and was happy with the space: super comfortable bed, excellent reading material, spacious, quiet studio and a great kitchen. Note that stairs may prove challenging for those with heavy luggage or restricted mobility. 

I appreciate Adam's flexible and relaxed attitude about the rental. I was unsure of the checkout time and left my luggage in the apt. until 2 . I look forward to staying here on my next visit to Austin. Thanks, Adam!"
4295585,34162299,2015-06-05,3799053,Yve,"I accidentally booked my dates for a day too early, so unfortunately we were only there for a night. Overall,  the studio was fine, but there were a few issues. When we arrived late that night, the key code Adam gave us didn't work and the bathroom didn't appear to be cleaned - there were used towels from the last guest still on the door and the counters and tub weren't wiped down. Other than that, everything was ok and it was a good location. "
4295585,34413429,2015-06-08,29117797,Jen,This was a very convenient spot!  We were able to walk to all the locations in SOCO that we wanted in 15 to 30 mins maximum.  Overall this was a very easy place to stay and Adam and his wife answered any questions and helped out whenever we needed.  I would recommend to anyone going to Austin!
4295585,34568979,2015-06-09,22629056,Sarah,"Nice, clean, comfortable spot close to the action on S Congress. We did have to squash several bugs-likely due to fact that it is tucked away in woodsy backyard. Host was responsive when needed. All in all, would stay there again. "
4295585,34756890,2015-06-11,632580,Mike,"Loved this place. Wonderfully located. Super cute, comfy, and spacious enough for my wife, two dogs, and I. Check in and check out was super easy, and Adam was very responsive. I would totally stay here again next time I'm in Austin. "

4295585,35850203,2015-06-22,18289941,Amy,Perfect size and location! We walked to lunch and dinner from the apartment. Parking was not an issue for us and we found a spot in front of the apartment on the street. It was very clean and modern and simply decorated. The door code lock worked great and we had no issues getting in. Adam quickly responded to any questions I (website hidden) and air conditioning worked great. Great for 2 people. Would stay here again.
4295585,36066455,2015-06-24,36213126,Mike,Everything was great. Perfect location and a nice clean spot.
4295585,36140291,2015-06-25,20402802,Aria,"Due to a misunderstanding, I was locked out of the apartment (after I checked in) and couldn't reach Adam nor the other emergency contact person listed. I had to get a room 20 minutes away, but when Adam received my frantic messages the next day, he offered to refund my money. "
4295585,36407595,2015-06-28,33865372,Joe,Beautiful place. Great location. Host was flexible and helpful.

4295585,37150584,2015-07-05,31047299,Lauren,"This location was perfect! We were able to easily walk to local cafes and shops. If our destination wasn't walkable, we were able to take a $5 Uber. This space is perfect and more than enough room for my boyfriend and I. It was very clean. Adam's treehouse is  private and easy to to get in and out. If I am ever back in Austin I will definitely try to stay here again!"
4295585,37437411,2015-07-06,6411411,Brigid,"Our hotel plans fell through and we needed a last minute spot to stay in Austin. Adam was super fast to respond, received confirmation just as we pulled into town and communicated info quickly and efficiently. The Treehouse was a secret little gem, perfect for our one night retreat in Austin. It's location is ideally close to great options for dining or delighting in some local music, while it's hidden locale truly makes you feel as if you are in a magical Treehouse. Thank you, Adam."
4295585,37478448,2015-07-07,25646828,Daniel,"Great stay, highly recommend. Adam communicated well and helped me get on a great wifi when the first option did not work so well. Place was clean and updated. I'd stay here again. "
4295585,37991846,2015-07-12,4514054,Samantha,Location was perfect for what we were looking for during our stay in South Congress! Walking distance to everything- especially since we are city girls and like to walk. Parking was available right out front and the studio was comfortable and definitely large enough for my friend and I to share! Adam was very helpful and always answered my questions right away! Would recommend this to anyone coming to Austin! 
4295585,38858315,2015-07-19,13229738,Lea,Thanks! We had a great time and the space was perfect for us and our dog. The location was great and super close to the south congress hot spots. 
4295585,39748987,2015-07-26,31918427,Ashley,"This was a very charming place, convenient to downtown and a plethora of restaurants, convenient stores, and grocery nearby. Fully functional and updated appliances as well as quaint decor made my stay very enjoyable. A true microcosm of an eclectic Austin. "
4295585,39955975,2015-07-27,4348167,Jeff,"Adam was quick and responsive, the treehouse was in an excellent location and was completely spotless. Thank you!"
4295585,40214559,2015-07-29,31486824,Tara,Excellent place!! Well kept and amazing location. We had a great time and had everything we needed. Good communication and easy in and out process!
4295585,41790998,2015-08-09,29826623,Derek,"Everything was great & getting in & out of the apartment was easy. However, there is definitely a bug issue. There is potentially an infestation of cockroaches here. There were tiny baby cockroaches congregating in the shower drain & they had to be washed down before using the shower. The space is great for two people & very modern, but when you have to smush three cockroaches in 48 hours, there's an issue. It needs an exterminator in the worst way. "
4295585,41994495,2015-08-10,6411411,Brigid,Second time staying here! Great location close to restaurants & shops and quiet little getaway.
4295585,42224223,2015-08-11,8277005,William,Wonderful flat in an excellent locale. Would definitely stay there again.
4295585,42884423,2015-08-16,87922,Frank,"The description of this space was accurate and we found it quite comfortable.  Clean and always seemed to be the right temperature even in the august heat, very welcoming.  The location was perfect, a neighborhood setting but literally right around the corner from S. Congress activity.  If you are looking for a quiet and comfortable place to hang your hat in Austin this is a great choice. 
Adam made getting in and out flawless, not a single hiccup with our stay."
4295585,43468290,2015-08-19,12616459,Christina,"Adam's treehouse studio was the perfect landing pad for my overnight stay in Austin. My reservation was confirmed within minutes, which was great because I had 24 hours to find a place to stay for a last-minute business trip. Adam sent me a comprehensive list of things I needed to know while staying at the studio, and promptly responded to my texts when I needed to contact him.  My favorite part about this listing is the location- steps away from South Congress, where there are tons of great shops and restaurants. The neighborhood felt safe and there was always plenty of room to park on the street right in front of the property. I would stay here again!"
4295585,43686642,2015-08-21,10179671,Jordan,Great Neighborhood close to South congress.  Perfect little studio for our visit to Austin.  Would come again!  Everything was perfect!

4295585,45938579,2015-09-07,4886059,Laura,"As described, this studio is all about location and the air conditioning was key! The place is clean and simple and a great price. I would stay there again should I ever head back to Austin. "
4295585,46729592,2015-09-13,25520581,Fraser,"This place is a jewel! One of the most fun neighborhoods, quiet but central. Just perfect. if I am ever in Austin again I will BEG to stay here. "
4295585,47422845,2015-09-18,1845598,D.K.,Good place to stay.
4295585,47671139,2015-09-21,9136784,Leah,"Great time at Adam's place!! Perfect location - walked back and forth to South Congress. So convenient, clean. Would definitely come back.  "
4295585,48383073,2015-09-26,33189674,Diana,"Adam provided a timely welcome email, describing how to access the studio and all the details.  He provided us with his cellphone number, and responded helpfully and promptly to a couple of minor issues/questions we had.  The large wooden-floored studio really was like a treehouse, as it was elevated, and every wall had windows which looked onto large leafy green trees.  It was a separate building with its own entrance. The kitchen was good, the bed comfortable, and the aircon very quiet. The location was brilliant - about 8 minutes walk to the heart of S. Congress shops, the Continental Club, Gueros Tacos Bar etc.  It was also very quiet and peaceful side street, despite being opposite a school - we were not bothered by noise."
4295585,48549433,2015-09-27,195640,Ossana,"Just wanted ditto all the other great reviews before me. The apartment was perfect & comfy, and it was a great location – easy walkable access to South Congress & even to a cool park that led to Lady Bird Lake. Didn't get to meet Adam but he was super responses and a great host. Would love the opportunity to stay there again!"
4295585,50472327,2015-10-12,41964107,Monica,"We had a wonderful time in the studio apartment. It is very comfortable and very well located. It is very close to a part of south congress road with many different hip places to eat and drink. Adam is a great host, it was all seamless and we felt at home. "
4295585,51500781,2015-10-20,46372709,Rachel,Peaceful and private.
4295585,51692906,2015-10-24,34402415,Bonnie,"We found the unit to be all it was described to be. Very attractive space. Neat an clean. We would book it again.
Thank you."
4295585,51731693,2015-10-24,43693762,Andrew,The treehouse was great!  It was inviting when you stepped inside and very clean.  Great location too -- quiet and close to downtown.
4295585,52045952,2015-10-26,37823659,Cheryl,"The welcome letter explained everything about the place and the neighborhood. The place was just as described-even better. It was lovely and clean. Great location. It was near South Congress hub bub, but very quiet. Nice high ceilings with lots of trees outside. Easy check in. Nice balcony, however we couldn't really use it with all the rain. Had all the home goods you might need-wine opener, glasses, pots pans, iron, steamer...I would stay here again. Like the place called C-Boys on the corner-just steps away:)"
4295585,52679615,2015-11-01,8222971,Jessica,"Adam was a good host. The studio was just as it appeared in the pictures and very clean when we arrived. As promised, there was street parking available. It was very close to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress. I would definitely recommend this place and host to anyone."
7841594,46854795,2015-09-13,34298093,Nick,The host canceled this reservation 25 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5380988,28640786,2015-03-27,2244518,Anna,"Daniel's apartment in the heart of west Austin is fantastic! It's very comfortable for two people, and could probably sleep four comfortably thanks to the fold-out sleeper couch. We stayed one night with my boyfriend and had everything we needed - a nice clean bed, sheets and towels, cookware to make breakfast, etc. There's a grocery store 3 minutes away on foot, not to mention a few cafes and restaurants within 5 minutes. You can also rent a bike nearby at the ACC campus and cycle to downtown or to Zilker Park in no time!

Danny made us feel very welcome, and the location can't be beat! I would definitely stay here again."
5380988,31237868,2015-05-03,4212645,Amanda,"This apartent was perect for our first visit to Austin.  Its in a cute neighborhood and was more walkable then I thought with at least 3 local trendy restaurants only about a block away.  We spent most of our time dowtown, which was really close - like an $8 uber ride.  We didnt remt a car on our visit and didnt need to with how close it is.  Daniel was great, and was really friendly and flexible when we needed a last minute check-in change.  He also offered lots of recommendations on good BBQ when we asked about that :) The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured.  My husband is always picky about beds when we stay airbnb and it was both comfortable and with obviously fresh linens.  We would definitely stay again!"
5380988,31731564,2015-05-09,21023792,Inkara,"We stayed at Daniel's apartment for 4 days during our visit to Austin in May. It is a small clean apartment in a great location - close to downtown, running trail and the park. 
There is an off street parking at the apartments. Daniel provides basic amenities (coffee, soap, etc) and the key to the laundry room if you need to. 
Walking distance to some great breakfast and restaurants. "
5380988,32388744,2015-05-17,180687,Jason,"Daniel's apartment is in one of the best parts of Austin. It was everything I hoped for! Clean, cozy, and quick access to downtown. I would definitely recommend his place to anyone visiting Austin!"
5380988,34378416,2015-06-07,27854143,Asja,Daniel was very easy to work with. His apartment was very nicely organized for guests and made everything easy for us. Would 100% recommend his place.

5380988,35728934,2015-06-21,7873770,Sam,Dan was a wonderful amd accommodating host. The place was in excellent condition and the location was everything we hoped for.

We would definitely stay here again.
5380988,37259956,2015-07-05,31676201,Rebekah,"Daniel's apartment was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay over a long weekend in Austin. It was extremely clean and Daniel took great care to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. He was extremely accommodating, working around the times we needed to arrive and leave due to our flights, and had a key box on the door so it was easy to let ourselves in and out. The proximity to downtown was great - couldn't have asked for a better place or host!"
5380988,39048374,2015-07-20,7285247,Joe,"Apartment very comfortable and exactly as described/photos.  Daniel gave good clear instructions and advice and responded quickly to messages.  A great experience, thank you."
5380988,41810044,2015-08-09,27225431,Tommy,"Daniel was kind, responsive and an all-around excellent host. He provided everything a guest could need -- explicit directions, clean towels, comfortable bed, a pull-out couch, Apple TV & Netflix access, quality coffee, etc. -- and his apartment is situated in a quiet but surprisingly awesome neighborhood (several great restaurants, coffee shops within short walk). The close proximity to downtown and other hotspots (4-8 minute Uber/Lyft) was also a major plus. I'd recommend Daniel's place to anyone visiting Austin. "
5380988,44983395,2015-08-30,2285216,Ryan,Daniel was very easy to deal with. The apartment was in great shape and the bed was very comfortable! Would definitely stay here again when returning to Austin
5380988,47715195,2015-09-21,40877399,Jessica,We could not have picked a better place to stay. The apartment was very clean and exactly like it's portrayed in the pictures. (Bonus points for a comfy bed and fluffy towels). The location was excellent and we were able to walk to coffee/breakfast every morning. Daniel was always quick to respond and accommodating of our late night arrival and departure. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking to live like a local in Austin for the weekend. 
5380988,49470826,2015-10-04,42713419,Monique,The apartment looks just like it does in the photos and it's in a very convenient location. Daniel was a great host. He was easy to get in touch with and provided everything I needed. He was also very flexible with check-in and check-out times. Would definitely stay there again!
8324666,49073376,2015-09-30,41377199,Sudheer,"Laurie was an exceptionally helpful host. She informed me of all of the important and fun things to see during my visit to Austin. Should I ever be passing through the city, I will definitely consider staying there."
8324666,50694511,2015-10-13,41819148,Sara,"Laurie was an absolutely wonderful host. Even though I already know Austin fairly well, and have family and friends in the area, Laurie went out of her way to make sure that I was finding all the fun spots in East Austin and beyond. She was very gracious and friendly, including me in some of her weekend excursions. Her house is very cozy and spacious...I hope to be able to return when Laurie has filled it up with her finishing decorative/artistic touches! Though her house is located on the east side of Austin, it was extraordinarily easy to find, and I was delighted to find so many cool/artsy outposts in the neighborhood. "
8324666,51077936,2015-10-17,2223211,Amanda,"Laurie is a wonderful host.  My daughter and I traveled to Austin to enjoy a birthday/shopping weekend.  The house is large so plenty of room for the two of us, Laurie and another airbnb guest.  Laurie explained how to get to the great shops in SOCO, downtown and the Domain.   She also had great recommendations for dinner, local spa and movies.  I had never stayed on the East side of Austin and was pleasantly surprised by the area and it's close proximity to downtown.  Thanks Laurie for a wonderful mother/daughter weekend.  "
8324666,52984252,2015-11-03,9059420,Brooke,"Laurie was an exceptional host and made me feel extremely welcome. It was as if I was staying with a friend or family member. She even had yogurt and snacks waiting for me and kindly drove me to town on my first day. I would recommend her beautiful house to anyone travelling to Austin. 

As a woman travelling alone for a conference, it was a big relief to feel safe, comfortable and at home.  "
5458030,28222812,2015-03-20,28660461,Ian,"Katie was a great host from the minute we began looking at her place as a possible option. When we arrived, Katie tended to our every need and was completely accomadating and communicative. Clean, unique, well located. We had An amazing week at sxsw."
1861421,49603901,2015-10-05,33297075,Jc,"The location of this listing is perfect.  It is within walking distance to downtown, SoCo eating/shopping, Zilker park, Auditorium Shores, Barton Creek eating/shopping, and all spots in between.  We stayed here for the 2015 ACL Festival.  There is direct access to the jog/bike path that runs along Town Lake (Colorado River).  The building is new, and the staff was very helpful.  The unit is well appointed with cable TV, fridge, oven, microwave, SONUS surround sound, and WiFi (though we never used it, so I can't comment on the strength or weakness).  There is a pool and a lounge in the building, but we didn't have time to take advantage of either. 
The host definitely goes out of her way to make you feel at home, and ensure your stay is enjoyable.  She provided us with a keyless entry bracelet to make it easier for us to keep track of at the festival.  Overall the experience was great.  "
1861421,50473598,2015-10-12,16066817,Hal,We had a wonderful time at Royce's apartment.  Very nice new building and the location was perfect.  Easy walk to either downtown or South Congress area.  Would definitely return.

1861421,52142557,2015-10-26,9647274,Steve,The listing description was accurate and the location was great and close to downtown.
1811927,8836972,2013-11-20,9771903,Nicole,"Cute, traditional house in a residential part of Austin. Kristin was great to communicate with and Shannon was a very friendly and accommodating on-site host! I had a great experience staying here and would definitely recommend this airbnb stay."
1811927,9110211,2013-12-07,1646461,Nancy,"My stay at Kristin's was great! Shannon, the housemate, was thoughtful, considerate and very helpful. The location is central to anywhere you need to get in Austin and close to restaurants and shopping. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to stay again soon."
1811927,9207533,2013-12-13,2972316,Rich,Great value. Location is terrific. The bedroom is spacious and comfortable. I really enjoyed meeting Shannon--very pleasant and respectful as a roommate. I would recommend this for business or recreational travelers.
1811927,9780605,2014-01-09,9673465,Sean,"Great place and comfortable. Shannon, Kristin's friend, who was staying there was very cool, friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. "
1811927,10009193,2014-01-25,1676955,Andrew,"Kristin was quick and responsive when I inquired about booking. She kept me in the loop as the reservation was being finalized and she sent me a nice intro-to-the-home letter before my reservation.

The home is as advertised - in a nice and quiet residential neighborhood. It is right next to the Shoal Creek bike trail which you can ride all the way down to Town Lake if you have a bike.

My room was clean and as pictured. One thing, however, is that the house is quite old. It was darker inside than I expected, the bathroom and kitchen fixtures were pretty old, and it was kind of chilly at night.

My housemate Shannon was very nice and pleasant. She let me borrow her iron and ironing board and even sent my glasses back to my home address after I accidentally forgot them while checking out (Thank you Shannon!).

Overall, this is a clean and quiet room in a nice neighborhood for a very affordable price. I stayed for two weeks for a short-term work assignment and I had no problems here! "
1811927,10787456,2014-03-07,6546578,Mark,"Kristin's place is great. I never met her but her roommate, Shannon, treated me like family. The bed was comfy and the bedroom was conveniently located right next to the bathroom. It was excellent! Highly recommended. "
1811927,11814532,2014-04-15,13750735,Paul,I had an excellent time at Kristin's Place.  The house is really charming and inviting. I thought that I could totally live in this house. Kristin's roommate Shannon was very hospitable. I really felt very relaxed during my stay.
1811927,12359075,2014-04-29,14613634,Steven,"My stay at Kristin's house was outstanding, and her on-site roommate Shannon was super nice and easy to deal with. I was in town for a conference and not even at the house all that much, but it fit my needs perfectly - a comfy room in a cute house in my old neighborhood in Austin (an AWESOME area!), and it all went really smoothly. This was my very first airbnb experience, but after doing a very reasonable check with a reference of mine, Kristin and Shannon both were extremely helpful and accommodating and there was no awkwardness to the experience at all. So glad I didn't just check into yet another cookie-cutter corporate hotel!  "
1811927,13455657,2014-05-27,15809979,Carla,"Shannon took great care of us -- even had Greek yogurt in the fridge! Comfortable bed and room, spotless bath and kitchen, safe and quiet neighborhood...no complaints. Neighborhood easily accessible to much of Austin. Highly recommend!"
1811927,14127009,2014-06-12,2811167,Anita,Kristin's home was a wonderful place to get to know Austin.  Shannon was a great housemate and with the little time we overlapped in the house was glad to answer all my questions.  The house is in a great location to get around and explore.  You would need a car though.  There is even a public swimming pool within two blocks.  The house itself was charming with lots of antiques and the feel of being in a friends or family's home.  Shannon even make sure I had the fixings for breakfast.  I would definitely recommend staying there.
1811927,14762374,2014-06-25,1863456,Nicholas,"Room was just as advertised.  Comfortable, clean, easy, nice place to stay.  Roomate was kind and courteous.  Thanks!"

1811927,17665099,2014-08-15,19893611,Hytham,"Kristin's bnb was the perfect start to my visit to Austin!  Shannon was a kind and welcoming host, and I was able to get the rest I required after my long drive from Wisconsin.  It's in a great NW location near the park and Shoal Creek Trail; I walked down the trail one morning and grabbed a delicious breakfast burrito at Mighty Bird, and there is also an Alamo Drafthouse in the same strip.  Highly recommend this place!"
1811927,18927499,2014-09-02,15101037,James,"Kristin was really quick replying to my messages regarding arrangements and Shannon was a terrific host, going out of her way to make us feel welcome. Both were great about taking a second booking at short notice when our initial arrangements changed. The house and neighborhood was an ideal place to relax in after a busy few days spent downtown while still being within easy striking distance of some awesome spots (Noble Sandwich Co!!)
"
1811927,19437626,2014-09-12,9494484,Zachary,"This was a great place to stay and Shannon was a wonderful host. Kristin corresponded quickly and it was effortless. The house is clean, cute and cozy. I just moved to Austin from LA, and I’m so glad I chose this instead of staying in a hotel. The neighborhood is in a great location and close to a lot of cool things. I definitely recommend staying here!
"
1811927,20799382,2014-10-05,1648398,Taylor,"Kristin's place is a lovely, homey way to get to know Austin. 

I stayed here as an Austinite to escape the ACL madness for a weekend and enjoyed my time.

It's far enough out to give you a feel for what most of residential Austin is like, but still pretty accessible to downtown and all of central Austin (15-20 minutes)."
1811927,21148057,2014-10-12,21082984,Jared,"The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of storage.  The host was very accommodating to the oddities of my schedule for the weekend.  All in all, a nice, quiet place to stay after a long day."
1811927,22669615,2014-11-11,6429332,Ian,Kristin's house was peaceful and tastefully decorated. I especially liked the comfortable bed. The neighborhood is one of the nicest in Austin and walking distance to plenty of good restaurants. Shannon (Kristin's roommate) couldn't have been sweeter. Highly recommended.
1811927,26958747,2015-02-22,27847591,Emmie,Kristin stayed in contact with me thru the booking process to make sure we had everything we needed.  The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood and was easy to find.  The house was clean and cozy and the bed was comfy.  My daughter and I had the whole house to ourselves as Shannon was away for the weekend.  We enjoyed playing our guitars in the cozy living room.  I would highly recommend this property to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin.  It was awesome!
1811927,27446675,2015-03-04,13768788,David,"Shannon was a gracious host and had me feeling right at home in no time. The home and room were what I expected from the listing, and definitely created a nostalgic mood in me that hearkened back to homes from my childhood. At first I thought the bed was a little soft, but I wound up sleeping peacefully and waking up without my usual sore back! What's that mattress?! The temps at night were near freezing outside, and I had plenty blankets to stay warm and cozy. The bathroom was a bit chilly in the early morning, but I easily stayed comfortable with slippers for the cold tile floor, and by putting a bit of hot water in the tub before showering. I'd stay again. Super convenient to my seminar location, too. Felt safe in the neighborhood.  "
1811927,27956836,2015-03-15,1536783,Rebecca,"Kristin and Shannon were amazing at preparing me for the visit. They made sure I knew all about the room, house, and the surrounding area. I was able to easily contact them at any point. I ended up staying at a friend's hotel downtown Austin after the first night, but I still loved the place. Very easy to get to the bus station! They were fantastic at making me feel very welcome for my short stay."
1811927,29950617,2015-04-14,17900862,Young,"Kristin was really nice and Shannon was an AMAZING host! Not only did they provide an informational document upon arrival, Shannon was great at making sure I got there safely. She was also polite, friendly and a wonderful person to be around. Highly recommend staying here and meeting her! Clean abode in a quiet neighborhood, close to Downtown. Would definitely stay here again, thank you so much Shannon and Kristin!"
1811927,30328943,2015-04-20,27902171,MaryAnn,"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Kristin's house. Her hostess Shannon went out of her way to get off work and come home 2 hours early to meet us and give us the keys. She was gracious and helpful and we appreciated that.
    The house was nice, cozy and cottagey. All rooms were comfortable to be in. The bedroom was right next to the bathroom and the shower had plenty of hot water, making it better than most hotel showers I have used. The bed was comfortable. We had plenty of room to put our things.
    The house is in an older neighborhood of Austin, but very close to the main roads, restaurants, stores, and anything that we needed. We had no issues with parking our car on the street. The neighbors were friendly when we went out walking. It was easy to get around and do the things we wanted to do with our son from this house."
1811927,35887387,2015-06-22,23127789,Scott,"Kristin's house was lovely. It's an older residence, but it was nice and cozy and had all the amenities you might want (cable, wifi, room in the fridge, space in the bathroom, privacy, etc.). Her roommate Shannon was great as the on-site host and made my whole experience easy. She had great communication, was very accommodating, and made my stay a breeze."
1811927,40005452,2015-07-27,371404,Emily,"Shannon and Kristin provided a cozy, comfortable haven! Quiet, convenient neighborhood, clean house, gracious hosts. I would definitely stay here again! "
1811927,42895085,2015-08-16,16815477,Megan,"I stayed here while waiting to move into my new apartment (a few weeks) and this was such a convenient, easy experience. Kristin was super-speedy when getting in touch throughout the whole process; from booking to check-out! Her roommate Shannon was nothing but super helpful and sweet - when I told her I was lactose intolerant, she got me oatmeal for breakfast instead of yogurts, which was incredibly nice. The house is very small and cozy and the neighborhood feels very safe/is very close to some great restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, the room was the perfect amount of space that I needed and it was nice to be able to use the kitchen to cook for a few weeks. Also the Internet was super amazingly speedy which was a nice surprise! The house is a bit older, but it does have a quaint ""staying at grandma's"" kind of feel. Overall I had a great stay, and the hosts went above and beyond -- I'd definitely recommend it to someone else and would stay here again -- thanks for a great stay! "
1811927,46402454,2015-09-10,41183488,Zack,"Shannon was a great host! The house is very nice and quiet as is the neighborhood.  Couldn't have asked for more.

I'll definitely return next time I'm in town."
1811927,49836534,2015-10-06,28723906,Michelle,Kristin was great at preparing me for my trip and Shannon was a great host! The home is lovely and there were all the amenities we needed. I enjoyed my stay and would book again if I were back in Austin. 
1811927,50500972,2015-10-12,44211738,Kathy,"Yes, host was awesome.  Felt like home."
8672607,49861664,2015-10-06,37736136,Joe,Room was clean and was as described in profile. Easy and quick communication with the host. Quick $10 Uber ride to downtown/ACL. Had all the privacy we needed. Would stay here again
8672607,50700352,2015-10-13,45018684,Hannah,Yen made our stay in Austin a great one!  We were close to ACL so we rode our bikes along the bike trail from her apartment to the festival.  She provided everything we needed and was very welcoming.  We loved staying here and couldn't have asked for a better host!
4892181,25868875,2015-01-27,11457401,Melanie,"What an awesome place to stay.  It's way up in the hills of North Austin on 3 1/2 acres with a beautiful view.  You feel more like you are at a resort then in a neighborhood.  For your use you have two bedrooms and a bathroom  that were clean, nicely decorate and very comfortable.   There is a beautiful living room, kitchen and an outdoor patio and the VIEW IS AWESOME.   Vincent was a great host and an all around interesting person.   I highly recommend staying here and for sure....I'll be back!   "
4892181,26277882,2015-02-08,19303904,Thomas,"Our visit to Vincent's place in the Texas Hill country exceeded our expectations.  Certainly it could be a place to use as a base camp to  see the Hill Country, but honestly, it should be the final place for experiencing the Hill Country and Austin.  
Feel like enjoying a great wine and watching a spectacular sunset in seclusion on a pinnacle of a hilltop like we did?  Then you've found it.  Nearby but secluded, rustic yet modern, this property has it all.
A fantastic open concept kitchen with gourmet quality appliances and a fascinating eclectic decor made our stay even more memorable.  Artists and musicians would be especially inspired.
As dog owners, we capped off our stay the next morning with a visit to Turkey Creak Trail inside Elizabeth Long Park, jut a few minutes away.  Perhaps the best open leash dog adventure we've ever experienced in the U.S.  Really memorable.
Vincent, our host, is warm, engaging and hospitable.  A perfect match with the house.  
Overall, one of our very best times in Austin.  We wholeheartedly recommend staying here.

4892181,26471871,2015-02-13,25859652,Mike,"The house is situated perfectly in the hills , amazing view with accommodations that feel like home. Each day I was easily able to come and go and enjoy peaceful rest. Vincent is very accommodating , friendly and above all really cares for his guest. He provides you with everything you need, and and free access to kitchen areas in a private environment. 

Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting some time away or traveling and skip the "
4892181,26714520,2015-02-17,1965046,Joelle,"We truly enjoyed our stay at this lovely house in the hill country. It was exactly what we were looking for! We wanted to still be close to the city (it was a 20 min drive), however enjoy the hill country views and hiking trails. The view from the back deck is as advertised, completely breathtaking. We sat out back most of the time and didn't even feel the need to go out in the city. It is very spacious, clean and he had plenty of clean towels and blankets for us to use. I would highly recommend staying here!"
4892181,26944160,2015-02-22,23834897,Azure,"Vincent was a very kind and welcoming host.  He is a very intriguing guy and we really  enjoyed the conversations we had with him.  The house was very well-appointed and provided us ample room and a very quiet, comfortable space.  The view from his amazing deck  was perfect and we enjoyed stunning sunsets each night.  His kitchen was amazing and we took advantage of a brand new stove top to cook quiet dinners.  The neighborhood was beautiful and offered us easy access to great scenery and nature trails.  Great restaurants and shopping nearby.  "
4892181,27081633,2015-02-24,9094731,Paul,"Vincent is awesome, an attentive host, and his place is fantastic - beautiful, impeccably maintained.  Tons of space, couldn't believe the kitchen!  Loved the fireplace, wonderful terrace, and the views, trees, and feeling of peace and seclusion.  Vincent went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable and were taken care of.  Perfeito!"
4892181,27151021,2015-02-26,17855714,Remco,"We had a great time staying at Vincent's house. Even though it was just for two nights, Vincent was very welcoming and made us feel right at home. The house is clean and very spacious, the view is really something to behold and I wish we could have experienced more of the atmosphere."
4892181,28001240,2015-03-16,4508600,Kathy,"Vincent's home is all about the views and the feeling of seclusion, without being too far out of Central Austin. The guest's side of the home, separated from Vincent's side by locked french doors, is spacious and well-appointed. Vincent is also super responsive -- even checking in on us while on vacation in Brazil! "
4892181,28323491,2015-03-22,27909232,Jasmine,"Vincent's home was beautiful, the photos did not do it justice. Even on a rainy SXSW weekend, we were blessed with gorgeous views and the right amount of seclusion. Everything was perfect."
4892181,28658880,2015-03-28,28248205,Sue,"Vince made us totally feel welcome.  All was ready when we arrived. He gave us great information of places to visit, things to see, and restaurants to enjoy.  His home was beautifully located northwest of Austin, great area for hiking.  It was also easy to get into the city and get the wedding which brought us to Austin."
4892181,29042099,2015-04-03,11094960,Liz,"We did not meet Vincent at all during our stay. We generally left in the late morning and came home around dinner time and headed out again. I did hear him at one point but he never came out to greet us. While the view from the deck was lovely, sitting out there was not. It was dirty. Dirty chairs, a deck that is in desperate needs of repair or replacement - I got a huge splinter - and just general lack of upkeep such as broken planters, planters that had dead plants or just filled with weeds. The beds were fine to sleep in however the bathroom when we got there had hair in the tub. Not long hair. And the shower curtain liner was covered in mold. It was pretty gross. Then there is the kitchen. We did not use it much but we did not want to either. There was a towel out that was so dingy looking I didn't want to touch it. There was a sponge out for washing dishes that looked like it was a year old. The mat left out to dry dishes on - no rack - was covered in dark stains. Even if I did think using the sponge would clean the dishes, laying them on the drying mat was repulsive. The house is nice, living spaces clean but bathrooms and kitchens make or break the cleanliness vibe. Looking at the other reviews make me think he got friends to write them, or these people have extremely low cleanliness standards. "
4892181,29229447,2015-04-05,30177214,Nicole,"There is so much positive I could write about Vincent and this location.  This was my first time using Airbnb and Vincent made it quite simple and easy. The place was exactly how he describes it. The space is large. Bigger than the pictures depict. Clean and bright with tall ceilings, large bedrooms and bathrooms and all the amenities you need. You can tell that he cares about this place and his guests.

The location is one of the reason why I chose his place. It is conveniently located near several parks and trails and the drive into downtown was only 15 minutes! The secluded area is extremely serene and waking up to the view is just an added bonus. 

I only wish I stayed longer to explore the rest of Vincent's recommendation. Everything we tried was spot on!"
4892181,29786348,2015-04-12,22676966,Paul,"What a great location and house!! Extremely clean with all the amenities you could ask for. Beautiful scenery with a host who pays very close attention to detail. We stayed the weekend for the Run to the Sun fundraiser which called for us to be coming and going at odd hours of the night/morning. Vincent was such a respectful host in this unique situation. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and really appreciate his understanding, especially when it came to allowing our dogs to spend the night. This truly is a must stay AirBnb house in Austin. Thanks again Vincent for your hospitality! "
4892181,30093489,2015-04-17,11674397,Patrick,"The place felt very homey, and my fiancee and I had a relaxing stay. It has a large deck, comfy couches, and a functioning fireplace (we had a fire 2 nights). No TV, but decent internet for netflix/whatever.

The surrounding area has plenty to do. We went on several hikes in nearby parks, and had some great dinners in nearby Austin.

A previous reviewer mentioned a dirty kitchen and bathroom. I did not have the same experience at all. The cleanliness of the place was fine. The previous reviewer also didn't care for the deck. It's true that it's an older deck and is probably due to be replaced, but it was quite useable and a nice benefit (we had breakfast out there several mornings).

The listing says it's the whole house, but that's not quite true. The bedrooms and bathroom are down a hall which is reasonably private, but the common areas are shared. Vincent and various workers (repairmen & cleaners) came and went several times while we were there, with little to no notice.  All that said, it wasn't a huge deal.

Overall, the stay was exactly what we were looking for. We're from downtown Chicago, and this is about as different as you can get. It was peaceful and relaxing. There were lots of fun outdoor activities nearby, and dinners in Austin were delicious.  I definitely recommend this place."
4892181,30292629,2015-04-20,21140047,Brisa,"Beautiful view, spacious, and clean. Easy entry!"
4892181,30583105,2015-04-24,2069216,Sean,"5 stars. Highly recommended. Vincent's place couldn't have been better suited for our stay. The place is very spacious with 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen, beautiful deck with an amazing view, and private bathroom. I met Vincent a couple times and he was very helpful in offering suggestions for local hikes and attractions, but he was also very conscious of giving us ample space and privacy. The fully stocked kitchen worked out so great for us; we took advantage of his slow cooker and food processor and were able to make homemade meals just like we were home. Lots of nearby access to nature, but also a short drive from the main downtown part of the city. I'm already thinking about coming back to stay here again!"
4892181,31071916,2015-05-01,27505905,John,"A delightful stay. It was wonderfully quiet and clean. I saw Vincent when I first checked in and never saw him again for the whole week. Even though we shared the kitchen, I never saw him. I would stay there again."
4892181,31171711,2015-05-03,27433752,Annette,"Vincent was an absolutely wonderful host. He is friendly, helpful, and makes you feel right at home! Austin has a great food scene and he knew all the best places. If you're looking for a place to stay in the hill country, here's a good spot! "
4892181,32357712,2015-05-17,30974328,Brittni,Vincent was very friendly. House was exactly as pictured. View from the deck was to die for! Had a great experience staying here. Highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin!
4892181,32948917,2015-05-23,11623915,Jesse,"My wife, son and I had a lovely stay with Vincent. He was able to accommodate a very very last minute booking and was extremely courteous and kind.   The home itself is amazing, great views and a redone porch. The kitchen was clean and he has every kitchen gadget you could think of. We had a blast cooking. Great stay, highly recommended. "
4892181,33170521,2015-05-25,5644403,Katie,"Vincent's house was very well-kept and nice. Everything seemed clean but obviously lived-in. We admittedly did not spend much time at the house because we ended up staying with family closer in town all 3 nights as the weather (tornados and flash floods) prevented us from driving up to the house. But I would go back. The best feature by far is the view and the deck (which is new and very nice). While it ended up being over $200 in the hole for us due to the cancellation policy, the house seemed nice and Vincent a decent host. "
4892181,34543628,2015-06-09,32198294,Estelle,"Vincent and I corresponded before flying to Austin. He promptly answered questions I had.  I appreciated this. He was away during our stay so we didn't get to meet him. I look forward to this some day.
"
4892181,35718839,2015-06-21,9637177,Simon,"Beautiful place, had a great time. "
4892181,36452128,2015-06-28,1491322,David,"Vincent was an excellent host. Everything about the stay was well organized and clear. He is a very friendly and personable guy. I enjoyed meeting him and learning a bit about him. I felt like he struck a great balance of being friendly and yet giving me all the space I needed for my visit. Could not have asked for better. 

The unit itself was fantastic. I am a local. My purpose for the trip was to find a quiet place for a solitary personal retreat away from family and friends and I could not have picked a better house. The accomodations were perfect. The place was quiet. The view was spectacular. Everything was comfortable. Kitchen had everything I needed. There is a personal refridgerator Vincent provides so I could store the groceries I brought. 

Had I been visiting from another town, Vincent's place would have been a good jumping off point for exploring Austin. It is near a lot of the things on the west side of town, yet not in the thick of the downtown area, so you can get away and relax a bit. 

The deck behind Vincent's house is really spacious. I'll be a party of 50 could be out there with plenty of room. I spent some mornings out there with coffee looking at the view from under the shaded metal A frame that covers a portion of the deck. I did a workout on the deck too. 

I will absolutely stay here again for an upcoming quarterly personal retreat. I highly recommend this place and consider it one of the premiere examples of what makes AirBnB fun."
4892181,36986093,2015-07-03,4153129,Alyn,This home is absolutely breath-taking. The view is absolutely wonderful. Perfect patio to watch the sun set :) Everything was as described and Vincent was such a friendly host. He welcomed us upon arrival and is definitely knowledgeable of the Austin area. Would definitely rent this place again in the future! 
4892181,37208885,2015-07-05,35769666,D.,Very nice house with great view. Highly recommend place!
4892181,37880468,2015-07-11,35800822,Crystal,"My family and I stayed at Vincent's for 5 nights. He was a great host, even though we didn't see him that much, he left everything ready for us. He even has a binder with everything you need know about the house and tips as to what to visit in Austin. The place looks exactly as it does on the pictures, and the kitchen is spectacular! It's the perfect place for a getaway :) "
4892181,38242821,2015-07-13,1502092,Dianna,We had a great time at this beautiful getaway just outside of Austin in the Hill Country. It was everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Morning yoga with the amazing view was a treat! We will definitely be back. Your kitchen is a chef's dream. Thanks for everything! 
4892181,38540483,2015-07-16,35173315,Michael,"Lets start with the deck and view.  Very large with seating and a nice view of the lake and valley.  Its Texas hot but wonderful to bring some dinner outside and watch the sun go down.  Vincent was a great host whom I enjoyed meeting and chatting with.  He was there when I arrived and showed me around.  Home is large and the area where the rooms (two rooms) are located are very private.  It has a large shared bathroom for the two bedrooms.  Very quiet and private which I like.  It also has a large comfortable living area that can seat about 8 people if needed. The area is upscale with lots of roads (with hills) to walk.  I walked about 4 miles each night throughout the neighborhood and it was nice but it is hilly so you'll get a great workout.  I'd recommend this location and Vincent as a host if you want some space thats private, has a great deck and in a beautiful upscale area."
4892181,39856383,2015-07-26,26874584,Andres,"My girlfriend and I just wanted a little getaway before school started again and Vincent and his home was perfect. The view was impeccable. We both love to cook so we decided to cook almost every meal. There's an HEB nearby with everything we needed. Thanks to Vincent, it wasn't that much. He adjusted to our late arrival with ease and was very accommodating. FYI, The house is a duplex style home and he lives on the other side. But we didn't even realize he was home for the four days we were there which was perfect. I highly recommend Vincent and his home for a romantic getaway or just a getaway from everything. "
4892181,40751641,2015-08-02,12371109,Carlos,Vincent's home is amazing! The views are beautiful and Vincent does a great job to make sure that you are able to enjoy not only his place but also the city. He communicated with me very efficiently and made sure we felt at home before we even arrived. I would not hesitate to stay here again in my next visit to Austin. 
4892181,41418325,2015-08-07,7882179,Willie,Absolutely incredible. Charlotte and Vincent were both so accomodating and respected our privacy SO well. I love this place. I highly recommend it to anyone who would be interested in staying here. So much so that my friend and I are going to make coming here a yearly thing.
4892181,47111124,2015-09-15,30919948,Taylor,"My boyfriend and I were looking for a little secluded getaway and this was the perfect place to go. We spent two nights enamored by the view, enjoying his fantastic kitchen equipped for making a nice dinner to enjoy on the patio at sunset. Highly recommended!  "
4892181,47973731,2015-09-22,39029354,Vicky,"Amazing house, stunning view, excellent location if you love hiking, ... we absolutely loved this place! Vincent was really friendly, and accomodating.
We would definitely recommend his place to friends and family. "
4892181,48357731,2015-09-25,32788194,Mitchell,very nice place. 
4892181,49418382,2015-10-04,29574051,Tracey,"Vincent was smashing, really friendly and made us very welcome.
We absolutely loved the place, what a luxury accommodation to stay in.
If you want to stay in a 'wow' factor home with stunning views from the balcony, fabulous kitchen and living accommodation, then you have to try Vincent's place."
4892181,49972199,2015-10-08,597990,Prescott,We were welcome
4892181,51122806,2015-10-18,40479015,Natalie,"Incredible weekend at Vincent’s! We were amazed at the views off of the deck. Normally we head over to the Oasis for sunsets but opted to sit on the deck Friday night and end the day overlooking the Colorado river. The sunset was so spectacular that we did the same on Saturday, so sorry Oasis. The deck area is large enough to have a good size party on and we ate all of our meals outside while taking in the great view.

Vincent’s kitchen is laid out well and is perfect for those who like to cook. Plenty of cooking utensils and everything you need to create a meal to match the view. There is even a separate refrigerator in the garage for guests. The induction range was easy to use and there was a good stock of cleaning supplies, which came in handy after my wife’s cooking in the cast iron skillet.

The bedrooms are both nice and roomy. We opted for the one with the view of the valley. Bed was comfy and the nights were very quiet. The bathroom is large and the water is hot. The shared living area is very spacious and looks out over the deck. The wi-fi worked great in all locations.

Vincent was a great host and made sure to be there about the same time we arrived. He was gone most of the weekend but available via phone or text if we needed anything. It was kind of like house sitting in a place with a million dollar view overlooking multi-million dollar houses.  There are multiple roads with some serious incline so walking is great. There are also several trails in the area but we just stayed on the blacktop. 

If you are looking for a beautiful location that is within 10 minutes of everything you need, then I'd recommend this house and Vincent as your host. He can help with shortcuts out of the neighborhood and give you some good ideas on things to see and do. Vincent is fun to talk with, but he stays out of sight unless you need something. We are planning on doing another weekend there next year."
4892181,51429880,2015-10-20,29432464,Jennifer,"A peaceful oasis in the hills with a fantastic vista of the Colorado River.    Sunset is spectacular and sunrise is the best way to start your day!  Don't come here to sit inside and catch the big game!  There is WiFi but no TV, which forces you to appreciate the space, decks and 
chef's kitchen.   Definitely a place to recharge and unwind!  "
4892181,52542166,2015-10-30,8511676,Mayur,"This is a great place to stay. Great views, well stocked kitchen and comfortable couches. Can't go wrong. "
8718365,50973801,2015-10-16,8226104,Virginia,"Ashley's home is lovely and spacious and so is her heart. She made our visit in Austin wonderful and went out of her way to adapt to our comfort needs. She shared her kitchen and the rest of her home as if we were family. Especially entertaining were Frankie and Bruce Wayne, the kitties. We would stay with her again and recommend that you pick her home for its great energy and convenient location."
5892651,37974968,2015-07-12,1613570,Donna,"This was a wonderful place to stay!  There were six adults and one 16 month old in our party.  The house  was very comfortable, and the baby had a great time playing with all of the toys.  The host stayed in communication with us the entire time.  The house is very near to the airport, downtown, the Children's Museum (Thinkery), and Zilker Park.  We are seasoned AirBnBers, and this is one of the best places in which we have stayed."
8907271,51587529,2015-10-21,46510107,Travis,"Perfect location within walking distance to 6th street, South congress shops, and even Rainey street (favored). Short drive/uber to Barton Springs pool. Accommodations were nice as expected.  "
8907271,51854478,2015-10-24,44554061,Erbil,He was so kind and helpful. He responsed every question I asked. 
8907271,52798379,2015-11-01,16548867,Ricardo & Kassy,"Cyler was a great host, he stayed in contact us with the whole time and he was extremely flexible with our check in/out time, which was a lifesaver! We would definitely stay with him again, we loved the privacy!"
8390607,48664815,2015-09-27,33862153,Ya'Ke,"I travel tons and honestly am tired of staying in hotels. This was my first time trying Air BnB, so I didn't know what to expect--but I was pleasantly surprised! The condo was a great departure from a hotel stay and it made me and my family feel like we were at home. It was clean, quiet, accommodating and all of my questions were answered very swiftly. I'd definitely stay here again! "
8390607,49735896,2015-10-05,45438038,Charles,This place was perfect for our long weekend at ACL. We walked to brunch every morning at the numerous restaurants within walking distance. We had around a 35 min walk to Zilker. The place was very quite and very well kept. Everything from the plush towels to the great view from the balcony at night was exactly what we expected. Diamantina was very accommodating when we arrived. She explained everything and made us feel at home. We enjoyed staying in this little oasis on West 6th very much! 
8390607,50546082,2015-10-12,20313388,Nancy,"Great location both for going to ACL and walking to all the great restaurants on 6th. Comfortable and had all the amenities we needed (except for TV, they only have a DVR player, would have liked to watch a little football!) The pool came in really handy as it was incredibly hot, that's a nice bonus. Definitely a great value."
8390607,51212024,2015-10-18,22131241,Kate,"Diamantina was an excellent host and the condo was wonderful. It was in an excellent location, we walked almost everywhere, and the condo itself was in great condition, had everything we needed, and we even enjoyed the pool. Check in was easy. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
8390607,52132795,2015-10-26,46175028,Katherine,"This was a great place to stay. The location is perfect for anything you want to do in Austin. The apartment is clean, well decorated, and accommodates 3 people very easily. It is equipped with everything you need to make the most of your stay. In addition, it was very easy to contact the owners with any questions and they were very responsive. I would absolutely stay again."
2578898,19772758,2014-09-18,17251510,Liana,"Although we never met Bret in person, I spoke to him on the phone the day we were supposed to arrive in Austin because we weren't going to be there until the next afternoon and he was very nice.  I explained we were driving from Pennsylvania and just underestimated how long the trip would take.  Bret seemed surprised when I told him we were driving out and was very understanding.

The apartment was unlocked when we arrived; which was just what we needed after driving 29 hours!  The listing description was accurate and the apartment was just what we were looking for.  It was in a quiet neighborhood, but still only 5 minutes from downtown Austin.  It had plenty of shade, so we didn't have to worry about leaving our dog there when we needed to and the bed was really comfortable!  Having a full kitchen at our disposal was nice (instead of just a coffee pot in the bathroom like we would've had at most hotels) and being able to do some of our laundry while we were there was a big plus too.

I had an emergency and had to book same day so I was really glad he worked with me on that. The location really is great. It's juuuust far enough away from downtown to be quiet, but close enough to bike or take a cheap uber. Water pressure and temp in the shower is great, and ample free parking. Huge off leash dog park within walking distance. You'd definitely book this place for the location. It wasn't terribly clean, I noticed ants in the bathroom, wifi was super spotty, and the bed was not comfy. The three ac units were really loud (I guess the central ac is broken? Not sure) and made it a little tough to sleep. If you're visiting austin for a quick weekend and don't anticipate being home much, the place is probably fine, but don't expect a home away from home."
2578898,49634862,2015-10-05,10773201,Samer,Overall experience was good and location was convenient and close to downtown. Brett was responsive and always willing to help out. The only letdown was the cottage itself wasn't quite as it looked in pictures. It was slightly dirty with a few bugs inside. 
2578898,51308606,2015-10-19,6635591,Greg,"Bret was very easy to communicate with and was responsive to texts throughout our stay. The property is in a nice location and it is easy to get everywhere. It is a quiet neighborhood. The pictures, however, barely look like the same place. The rental could use a little TLC and a deep clean. The floor was very dirty, so much so that we wore shoes. Bret was very nice about it and sent someone to clean it. The floor was still very dirty after they had ""cleaned,"" however, so we cleaned the floor a bit and continued  to wear shoes. "
2578898,52354057,2015-10-28,1197432,Marie,"The hosts were really nice and very responsive to our two requests. We felt like we were in helpful hands.  The location is super convenient for those who don't want to drive. A single transfer from the Airport bus gets you to the stop around the corner from the cottage. There are two regular bus lines plus a night owl line that runs late at night so it was never more than 10 minutes to get Downtown or to SoCo. The bathroom and kitchen have everything you need, bedroom and living room are comfortable."
5259693,26900912,2015-02-21,4023858,Jay,"David's house was perfect for the 6 of us. It was very spacious and has the Greenbelt right in the backyard. The neighborhood is friendly with a delicious Taco restaurant right down the block. The proximity to downtown was great, as it was an easy quick trip to downtown. I would definitely stay here again. "
5259693,27970868,2015-03-15,15107176,Andres,David has an awesome place! He is a really cool host! Very informative. Great location!! The backyard is the greenbelt. Taco deli across the street. Short uber downtown. Beautiful clean home! 
5259693,30711272,2015-04-26,30106689,Regan,"Great stay, awesome location!"
5259693,46003192,2015-09-07,34577151,Blayne,"David did an incredible job of answering all of our questions and helping us feel comfortable before our trip even started.  The house was exactly as described and fit all of us perfectly.  Our entire group had a wonderful weekend.  The house is a short ride from downtown and made it extremely convenient for us to get around. 
Thanks again!"
5259693,47789164,2015-09-21,42145692,Jamie,"I was visiting from out of state on the way back from a business trip and wanted to have a reunion with some friends so I choose this location for 7 of us. When setting this up, David was very attentive, making this trip easy. The house was everything he showed plus some little extras to make the stay that much easier. I would stay here again with out a doubt. This location is prime to get around Austin! Having the door code instead of a key made it easy because if people arrive at different times or even call it a night early, they can gain access to the house with no problem. I honestly don't think I have anything negative to say! Thanks for making this experience awesome David!"
244785,665181,2011-10-25,988979,Lani,"Staying in Belle's 'aerie backyard house' was a lovely experience. It was close enough to the city to access all we needed to and Belle herself was very hospitable (made us a delicious lemon pound cake, even gave us a ride to the bus station on our way out!)

The backyard house itself was spacious and tranquil, self-contained with everything you need (tea, coffee, a/c) - a haven amongst the trees. HIGHLY recommended."
244785,694388,2011-11-05,1314180,Julia,"Belle is incredibly sweet and accommodating. This beautiful guest house was exactly what my girlfriend and I needed for the week we were in Austin. The backyard is exquisitely peaceful and quiet, and the home-y feel of the garden and chickens was a fun touch. I'd stay here again in a jiffy."
244785,699851,2011-11-07,1292224,Susan,"What a wonderful experience!  Belle's place is amazing!  The craftsmanship on the building is first rate, totally ""green"",  very tastefully furnished, and we had everything we needed.  The bed was like sleeping on a cloud, the smell of cedar was heavenly; everything was very clean and neat as a pin--with a delightful Austin vibe.  We will be back!"
244785,722644,2011-11-15,413215,Jeanne,"Had a wonderful stay at Belle's place.  My husband and I, as well as our teenage son, spent 4 nights here in mid November.  The accommodations were most comfortable!  We also enjoyed being able to sleep with windows open at night in the quiet neighborhood.   Lots of space on both floors made our stay enjoyable as well.   Belle was a fabulous host and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay.   We look forward to a return visit in the not too distant future and would highly recommend to others. "
244785,738888,2011-11-22,1382738,Debra,"I recently stayed for a week at this wonderful little guest house in East Austin.  It is in a very quiet neighborhood and it was a great experience.  The interior is very unique, with a lot of red cedar trim including a vaulted, mitered ceiling in the upstairs bedroom.  It was very clean and comfortable.  I got so much rest!  Belle was most accommodating as I brought two cats with large kennels and she and her family helped me carry them in and out.  In addition, I arrived rather late the first night and she brought me fresh fruit and brownies so that I didn't have to go back out for food.  The muffins the last morning were great, too.  Overall, it was a very pleasant stay and I hope to go back again someday.  Belle is a great host and made me feel very welcome and comfortable."
244785,743444,2011-11-25,1389822,Johanna,"We recently stayed at Belle's guest house for thanksgiving.We had a great time in Austin and knowning that we had plenty of space in the guest house made the trip so much better., It was really great with the chicken coop right next door it made the whole trip so much better for my toddler (website hidden) is located in a nice area of austin with lots to do not far away."
244785,745613,2011-11-26,1389822,Johanna,"Super cozy. Great area, we walked to Bennu's for coffee and tacos' every morning. Perfect getaway!"
244785,750784,2011-11-28,644534,Patty,"my husband and i had a wonderful and peaceful time staying at the aerie house. i LOVED the comfort of the bed. the peacefulness of the house. and also being surrounded by the trees at night, it was so tranquil. we loved the simplicity of the house and belle accommodated our every need, even while she was out of town. 
we loved marta the dog. and the chicken coop was so great too. the location of the house was PERFECT to every part of austin, in getting around. i will be back for sure. 
and there were TWO a/c units in the home, which is a plus for me. and again, the bed was super comfy. great water pressure too. 
"
244785,758039,2011-12-01,1394018,Stephen & Karina,"Beautiful house, very comfortable bed, location is great.  We only wish we could have visited with our hosts more, but there is so much fun to be had in Austin we were out enjoying ourselves. You must walk from the Aerie House to East Side Cafe'.  Not a cafe' at all.  Amazing food and service. Then walk through the huge garden and visit the chickens. There are several great restaurants you could walk to. "
244785,760763,2011-12-03,1386278,Julia,"This was my husband and I's first time using Airbnb so we were a little apprehensive at first. Belle made our stay so enjoyable and even made up the futon for my mom to be able to stay with us. There was a table of water, tea, and coffee available right when we walked in. The neighbors had started building a garage right next to the Aerie and Belle was kind enough to offer a refund if the noise was unsuitable for us. Fortunately, the neighbors agreed to keep the noise down while we were there. It was so comforting to feel like we were taken care of like family while being away from home. Thanks, Belle!!"
244785,765838,2011-12-05,1445535,Julia,"We had a wonderful weekend at Belle's Aerie Guest house. The space was quiet , serene and secluded. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Austin. It's close enough to a lot of the east side attractions, but far enough for a quiet night's rest. You will not be disappointed if you choose the Aerie!"
244785,768916,2011-12-06,1457521,Molls,"We had a great time at Belle's. She is an amazing host. I really appreciated the peace and quiet of the Aerie House. We live on a ranch outside of Austin, so the Aerie House was a nice place to crash after a day in town. We actually ended up spending the night in, the Aerie House is perfect for a rainy night."
244785,773650,2011-12-09,332058,Mary,"my husband and I stayed here after a time of being apart for a month...it felt like a little honeymoon suite, up in the trees. Very comfortable bed, a warm heater and homemade blueberry muffins in the morning...we loved being within an urban farm, with chickens and gardens outside..."
244785,793724,2011-12-19,116628,Chang,"We stayed at Belle's guest house for 3 nights and it was such a wonderful experience. The guest house was in excellent condition, very earthy yet comfy. I love the smell of wood in the house from the beautiful woods that were used to build up the entire house. Belle and her husband were very nice couple, they showed us the nice local&natural restaurants and it was delicious. She even made us some blueberry muffins and offered to drive us to the bus station on the day we check out. Definitely recommend this place. Such a sweet stop in Austin!"
244785,803511,2011-12-24,1434896,Shell,In all my traveling never have I come across somewhere as beautiful as Belle's guest house. My partner and I were blown away at how amazing and cosy it is & wished we could keep the guest house as our own home. Belle and her family did everything they could to make us feel welcome and were very helpful and genuine great people. If we ever return to Austin there is no other place we'd stay but here.
244785,811979,2011-12-29,1317956,"Kevin, Tony & Hurricane","OMG!! How lucky we were to find Belle's guest home on airbnb!!
Me, Tony and our little dog hurricane had the most unexpected experience with Belle & family. The guest house was very clean and neat, and even tho we arrive late at night, Belle was there to great us with delicious homemade Christmas cookies. Hurricane and Martha ( Belle's dog) became friends instantly. 
After settling in, Belle's place became very comfortable and home feeling:-). The neighborhood was very quiet and we felt very safe when out walking hurricane.

Belle paid attention to any of our needs with a surprise on Christmas morning with homemade pastries.!
There is so many good things to say we can go on forever,...
Belle's place is A MUST STAY when visiting Austin, tx.

Thanks Belle and family for a great time!!!


Tony, Kevin & Hurricane"
244785,821400,2012-01-01,673851,Jane,Absolutely charming guesthouse. Am so grateful to Belle and her family for their hospitality and am looking forward to staying there again.
244785,844399,2012-01-06,421002,Elizabeth,"i booked belle's guesthouse for my sisters' visit, since i live in a tiny trailer these days. it was perfect for us - great central location, cozy places to sleep, plenty of room to hang out, and just a beautiful and comfortable space to come home to after a day out and about. "
244785,867850,2012-01-17,1498659,Marilyn,"The Aerie Guest House was the perfect place for our stay in Austin.  Plenty of roadside parking, 2 bedrooms.  Very comfortable and Belle was a great hostess!."
244785,879391,2012-01-23,1199842,Jill,"Wonderful guest house and location with a very gracious host! Belle was extremely sweet, flexible, helpful, and accommodating. She provides a very clean and comfortable place to stay in a terrific location in Austin. I had no problem walking downtown and to cafes and bars, but it's also an easy drive or taxi ride to just about any where. The bed is super comfortable with a beautiful view of the tree tops; however, if you prefer darkness, bring a sleeping mask since the light comes in pretty early. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone. Good price and value. Thanks Belle!"
244785,880515,2012-01-24,1475500,Marguerite,"We had a wonderful experience at Aerie Guest House. We were able to come and go as we pleased, and the guest house offered both privacy and comfort. Belle had set out tea, water, and coffee for us- and there were fresh towels and the most comfy bed. It wasn't too far from the center of town. The guest house was beautiful- only wished we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay there again on a return trip. "

244785,910506,2012-02-09,1437271,Leah,"This was my first time visiting Austin, TX. I was accompanying my friend on a visit to UT. The Aerie Guest House was conveniently located near good restaurants, the UT campus and downtown. The Guest House was clean, quaint and incredibly charming. Though it lacked in super modern amenities (flat screen TV, cable, etc.), it was a perfectly peaceful place to stay. We felt very much at home. My friend was completely taken with the adorable, backyard cat, Cactus Jack. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin. Belle was a great host. She was very helpful, when we needed to find a close place to eat. "
244785,915255,2012-02-12,1575195,Kerry,"We stayed in Belle's guesthouse while visiting UT Austin with our teenage son.  The guest house is beautiful, bright and airy, with natural wood accents throughout.  It has a separate entrance, plenty of privacy and set on the grounds of Belle's home, raised bed gardens, chickens and a couple of small friendly dogs.  Just minutes from the UT campus, this was the perfect place for us to come home to at the end of two packed days, we hope to stay again as visiting parents of a UT freshman.  Thanks Belle!"
244785,918857,2012-02-13,1445535,Julia,"Clean, quiet, peaceful as before!"
244785,927233,2012-02-17,1278851,Denise,"We had a wonderful time in East Austin and our stay in the Aerie was so peaceful.  I loved the upstairs loft and the bed was so comfortable.  We had plenty of room and lot's of privacy.  A real treat!  Thanks Allen and Belle, you have a lovely home and we will be back...Cheers."
244785,936788,2012-02-21,138420,Ellen,"This place is wonderful.  We stayed during some thunderstorms and the lightning show from the top room was pretty awesome.  All in all a great place and ecosystem with garden, bees, chickens, cat and dog.  Thanks for a great visit."
244785,952105,2012-02-27,1292224,Susan,This was our second stay at Belle's guest house.    We enjoyed everything about our visit.  Highly recomended!
244785,1049139,2012-03-27,211877,Daniel,"My girlfriend, friend, and I just finished up a lovely stay at Belle's guest house in the Cherrywood neighborhood of Austin. The apartment was really clean, comfortable, and extremely private. It easily accommodated the three of us, my girlfriend and I upstairs, and our friend on the futon. On the whole, the experience was pleasant and one I'd gladly engage in again! My only note is that the bathroom is only accessed through the living room, with the futon - rendering that room not so private, for whatever guest decides to stay there."
244785,1066286,2012-03-31,1857827,Destiny,"Nice hosts, adorable and comfortable guest house!"
244785,1077259,2012-04-03,1656882,Lisa,"We booked this vacation rental without ever having been to Austin. We had no idea where we would end up.  We felt so happy to ""land"" at Belle's sweet rental.  
The cedar lined two story rental was spotlessly clean with a downstairs sitting area and Mexican tiled bathroom.  The upstairs bedroom was spacious and filled with light from the many windows.
Belle, the owner, was a wealth of information and very generous in her offers to lend us her canoe and bikes.   
We wouldn't hesitate to  recommend the Aerrie rental to anyone looking for an alternative to a cookie cutter motel. "
244785,1096207,2012-04-08,393633,Noelle,"The guesthouse is quiet and beautiful, and Belle is a very gracious and helpful host."
244785,1113935,2012-04-12,1809668,Tania,"Aerie Guest House was very comfortable, tidy and tranquil with a second story bedroom amongst the trees. We very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others."
244785,1123253,2012-04-13,1611088,Joanne,"We enjoyed staying at The Aerie very much. Belle is a welcoming and thoughtful host. It is a great location for catching the bus downtown -Austin has an excellent bus system. We loved the country feel, with the chickens, cat and dog in the garden. The upstairs bedroom is like sleeping in the sky. "
244785,1132706,2012-04-15,2003835,Philippa,"Very cute and quiet house managed by friendly folks.  My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay here - it feels a bit like a really neat tree-house!  I loved the chickens in the backyard too.  :)  Clean, comfortable, and welcoming.  Thanks, Belle!"
244785,1150927,2012-04-19,475306,Ken,"We stayed at the Aerie Guest House in April, 2012 while at a Conference in Austin.  Overall, we liked it very much.  It's a sweet little hideaway.  It is small but cozy.  The upstairs has a comfortable bed, a knotty pine ceiling,  lots of windows, & good air conditioning.  It would be helpful if there was a dresser or closet upstairs.  Downstairs is a couch that can double as a bed, and a bathroom with shower,.  It has a closet,  table and fridge, all of which are small but adequate.  The downstairs has a separate air conditioner as well as a ceiling fan. The place is not luxurious but has a certain charm.  It is fine for 2-3 travelers and is a real value.  Belle is a friendly and accomodating hostess.  The location was excellent for us, with easy access to U-T and downtown, but we did have a car.  Would definitely recommend to those who seek value more than luxury. "
244785,1159884,2012-04-21,1654491,Carolina,Belle's place is gorgeous and inspiring!  The house is spotless clean and surrounded by beautiful trees.  The best part is waking up in the morning and enjoying the sunrise from the comfortable bed (bed is located on second floor which has 5 windows).  The neighborhood is quiet/safe and there is plenty of parking space available on the street.  Belle is so kind and thoughtful that you'll feel right at home.
244785,1175820,2012-04-24,1908973,Thomas,"Charming, clean, cleverly designed and built guest house with chicken coop for a neighbor!  Slightly spartan vibe (tiny shower) more than compensated for by comfortable bed, thoughtful mini-library, great light and wonderful host."
244785,1189440,2012-04-27,2134355,Donna,"Great location. Love the place, and she has a friendly dog and cat! Would highly recommend."
244785,1206960,2012-05-01,1619366,Michaela,"My group's stay at the Aerie House could not have been any better. It is beautifully built and lovingly decorated, is immaculate and spacious, is surrounded by a beautiful garden, and Belle (and her cute pets) topped off our stay in Austin by making us feel very welcome and cared-for. Somehow we all agreed that it felt like being at our mom's (even though we all have different moms!) 
The neighborhood is quiet and nice to walk around in the mornings, bus and taxi service was pretty easy and cheap, and Belle's nearby cafe suggestions were perfect for our variety of needs (even plenty of yummy vegan options, esp. El Chilito).
Loved it all and can't wait to return 3"
244785,1219971,2012-05-02,1541353,Zach,"Belle's guest house is a cozy, relaxing, wonderful retreat - what a jewel!  I felt right at home. "
244785,1325441,2012-05-22,1707061,Robert,A beautiful property.  The landlords were very friendly.  The house is very comfortable.  The woodwork upstairs is amazing.
244785,1338659,2012-05-23,760052,Callie,"Very nice and clean house, it looks  brand new.  It slept three very comfortably.  Belle was very responsive and replied immediately to my last minute booking request. "
244785,1348385,2012-05-25,2410505,Ryan,"The guest house is amazing. Extremely cozy, stayed nice and cool in the heat, comfy bed and wonderful woody scent. Belle was a wonderful host and offered suggestions on finding the best coffee in Austin (fair bean), food, and things to do in the city and surrounding area. She and Alan lent us a tandem bicycle to use that we rode all over the city exploring... the true way to experience Austin. The East side is happening, especially accessible from her home with bike lanes and a few bus lines a block away. Can't wait to return."
244785,1371547,2012-05-29,1754527,Miriam,"This is a delightful guesthouse. The upstairs bedroom is spacious and bright and the whole unit very clean and hospitable. It offers a chance to view sunrise in the morning followed by a short walk to Bennu's for breakfast and coffee. If short on time, there are packets of oatmeal, cocoa, coffee and tea in the guesthouse. The yard is lovely, and location offers easy access to the rest of the city."
244785,1395850,2012-06-01,2370374,Amanda,"Fantastic place!  We loved the house so much, it is so neat and it was the perfect size for a couple.  The garden was also lovely, and I really liked this area of Austin.  Very comfortable bed, great decor, A/C worked great, very clean.  Thank you so much, we'll be back!"
244785,1467582,2012-06-12,399821,Kate,"Belle's guesthouse is lovely! Though she was away the weekend we stayed there, she was easy to get in touch with if we had any questions and the guesthouse was perfectly organized for us. The neighborhood is cute - yummy Mexican food at El Chilito's and good coffee shops. Our favorite part about the guesthouse was the bedroom. The cedar wood makes it smell amazing, and you feel like you are in a tree house with all of the windows. Very relaxing. It was only a short drive to South Congress and the 6th Street district - perhaps a nice bike ride on a cooler day. We highly recommend staying at Belle's if you are planning to visit Austin."
244785,1482397,2012-06-14,1099075,Michelle & Nate,"Loved Belles place! Private and clean. Slept well, enjoyed the local cafes and nebiorhood. Stop by the  East Side cafe or Bennu coffe shop for some local fare.

244785,1551144,2012-06-24,928001,Keith,"A quiet, spacious place. It felt like we were sleeping in the treetops! Neat, clean and comfortable. Belle's guest house is a great value for those looking to stay near town, but without all the hubbub."
244785,1556127,2012-06-25,388964,Christine,"The cottage was very cute - 4 of us stayed and we were very comfortable.  Only 2 downsides - My mother has difficulty with balance so the wood chip pathway was a slight struggle for her (but we helped her!), and the shower is small.  The wrap-around windows upstairs was very nice.  I think we blew a fuse with our blow dryer at one point but the owner was quick to come flip the circuit breaker.   I visit Austin frequently and would definitely stay here again."
244785,1631815,2012-07-04,1340133,April,"This was a great choice!  Very close, easy drive to downtown, very quiet at night - very private.  The room is very clean and a/c worked well!  Great price for the area.  Host was friendly and welcoming.  Comfortable bed!  Highly recommend!"
244785,1670986,2012-07-09,2776734,Teva,Great place in a hot location. The guest house was perfect for our stay. So comfortable. So central. Belle was a great host. Highly recommend this spot!
244785,1759843,2012-07-21,401673,Steven,"My family had a GREAT time at Belle's place. The house is fabulous and in beautiful shape, the location is convenient (a 24-hour coffee shop in walking distance!), and there are chickens in the yard! I have already recommended this place to others and will continue to do so."
244785,1827811,2012-07-29,2563317,Sandy,this place was incredibly sweet and peaceful.  very grateful to have found it.  we would come back in a heart beat.
244785,1845445,2012-07-30,725091,Marcus,"Clean, quiet, organic, three words to describe, if we are not in a hurry, we really would love to talk with Belle."
244785,1871252,2012-08-02,2853330,Marie,"This was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We had come after a long journey and the guest house was air-conditioned, clean and comfortable. The upstairs with the bed was beautiful and the place smelled nicely of the wood it was built with. The bed was really comfortable and peaceful, we slept really well. It was also nice that there was a small television in the downstairs so we could watch the Olympics :) I would definitely stay here again. "
244785,1902480,2012-08-06,222788,Leslie,"Great place, beautiful, calm, and comfortable, perhaps even moreso than it seems looking at the listing (although listing is accurate).

Good cafe around corner on MLK and various restaurants nearby, very convenient to UT, nice neighborhood. Good deal, recommend, hope to return."
244785,1950422,2012-08-11,2378380,Anna,"Nice, quiet neighborhood. Accommodations were clean and spacious. Would definitely stay there again."
244785,1995575,2012-08-15,3055097,Ali + Dave,"For my first trip to Austin and my first Airbnb experience, I am absolutely thrilled and hooked on both. I was initially intrigued by the Aerie Guest House because it is energy efficient and built by the Zars. When we first walked in, the first thing you smell is fresh wood. The house has a very minimal design and was very clean and comfortable. The only thing that would make this house even better is a kitchen area as one of the benefits of staying at a house is to be able to prepare some of your meals. But, this allowed us to explore Austin's many amazing restaurants. The location of the house is great and only a short drive, bike ride, or run to many fun spots in the area. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants to have a more intimate, cozy, and unique experience in Austin. "
244785,2019801,2012-08-18,2309008,Angela,"The Aerie Guest House was the perfect place for me to stay in Austin. Belle is a responsive host who left me to my own devices unless I needed something. The house is close enough to the University to walk, with lots of restaurants on the way. A little taste of Austin - chickens in the back yard, cactuses in the front yard. Totally charming little house - spacious and very clean. I would definitely stay here again.  "
244785,2033757,2012-08-19,3203093,Jaren,"Flexible, personable, and generous, Belle is a wonderful and accommodating hostess.  This was my first Airbnb booking and I was pleasantly surprised.  The guest house is clean, spacious and well maintained. A nice touch, you have brood of well behaved chickens for neighbors!  "
244785,2108836,2012-08-27,2273754,Lisa,"Nice, clean & cozy place. Neighborhood is quite. About 10 minute drive to UT campus. Did not get to meet the host as she was out of town but  Ms. Belle was easily reachable by cell phone. First time using Airbnb. Positive experience and would stay here again."
244785,2139775,2012-08-29,3375725,Em,"AWESOME guest house, in a perfect part of town.  Belle is also available ANY time by email, phone, anything, for questions and answers.   It's a beautiful place and I can see why many have already stayed there.  I've already recommended it to my friend, and I'll stay there again if I need a place again."
244785,2158269,2012-09-01,628814,Victoria,"Aerie Guest House is quiet, nice and wonderfully charming. The pictures posted online are great, but do not do justice to this little house and its calming energy. Highly recommend. Hosts were great -- check in & check out was easy, all was ready for my arrival, and I felt great privacy and independence while there. "
244785,2217624,2012-09-06,157362,Peter,"The guest house was perfect for our stay. It's the right size for two and it was clean and cool. We did not meet Belle while we were there but her husband was very nice and welcoming.  There was this cute little cat that was very helpful in showing the way to your  guest house if the path was too dark to see sometimes. The location is in a nice and quite neighborhood with plenty of coffee shops and eatery nearby such as Franklin Barbecue, which is a must go to for bbq if you are in Austin. If you are not a morning person I recommend bringing an eye mask as there are no window shades in the 2nd floor bedroom and the light will beam right into your eyes. The neighborhood is very close to the freeway so is convenient for getting around by car.  I will look this place up next time I make a trip to ATX."
244785,2250837,2012-09-10,698312,Sara,"Belle is the perfect host. She gave us our privacy, yet magically appeared if we had a question or wanted to chat. She is friendly and knows the area well. Her guesthouse is peaceful and clean. I slept beautifully amidst the treetops. We would love to stay here again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone seeking the perfect balance of both a tranquil sleeping quarters and an energized, central locale with all the best eateries and bars that Austin has to offer within walking or biking distance."
244785,2307657,2012-09-17,2797823,Chelsy,"I have so many great things to say about Belle and the Aerie Guest House. The guest house is located in the new up and coming neighborhood, East Austin. We were a $10 taxi ride from downtown and a 10 minute drive to Lady Bird Lake and South Congress. Belle was accommodating in every way. She had great recommendations on where to grab breakfast and coffee. There is a fenced yard around the house and guest house; therefore I never worried about my dog’s safety. The guest house is charming and tranquil. I slept downstairs on the pull out sofa and woke up thinking I was at home because I slept so well. My friend stayed upstairs and had the same experience. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to any friend."
244785,2358099,2012-09-20,2155556,Rebecca,"We planned on only staying for one night, but we liked the place so much we ended up staying for a second. Although right in Belle's backyard, it feels like you're a world away, it's so peaceful and relaxing. The guesthouse itself was beautifully constructed, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and smelled like cedar. It's in a great location in Austin, and Belle was a great host - very helpful and accommodating, but giving us our privacy. Strongly, strongly recommend!"
244785,2362333,2012-09-21,1600766,Natasha,Loved this little spot! 
244785,2405346,2012-09-25,211877,Daniel,"My second time staying at Belle's guest house was just as great as the first. It's peaceful and extremely clean with a rustic charm. I hope to keep staying there on my visits to Austin, and would recommend it to anyone!"
244785,2443856,2012-09-29,844251,Heidi,"Myself and 2 friends stayed at this lovely spot in Austin during our visit to Fantastic Film Fest 2012. We ran into Belle's family upon arrival and Allen was gracious and welcoming and gave us the Aerie tour. Belle was more than accommodating and gave us some helpful tips and suggestions during our Austin visit - even for our pit stop in New Orleans on our way home! We enjoyed the layout of the home: simple, quiet neighborhood. (We loved the book selection!) Also the 24-hour coffee shop just around the corner was excellent! Can't wait to visit again! "
244785,2610674,2012-10-15,2438435,Jr,Wonderful place to stay! I will defiantly  book there again! Belles place was beautiful! 
244785,2652893,2012-10-18,786142,Carter,"I had to work in Austin this week, and thought this might be an interesting experience, which I was hoping for since my wife was with me.  Belle's place fit the bill perfectly.  The place is centrally located, clean, well appointed and perfect for enjoying the city.  It strikes me as being ecologically sound, and the two story setup made it feel like a much larger space. Belle was an excellent host, who made sure we got in OK, made sure we understood where things were and was easy to communicate with. I would certainly recommend using Belle's place to anyone.    "
244785,2695228,2012-10-23,3207326,Meghan,"Bella and the Aerie Guest House were the perfect introduction to our holiday.  We could not and cannot send enough praise for the hospitality/generosity of this town and it started with Bella.  The accommodation is a perfect blend of comfort, cleanliness & simplicity.  "
244785,2727629,2012-10-27,3167846,Gary,"October 2012:  We spent three wonderful nights here and loved all aspects of it.  Highly recommended for superior quality, great hospitality, and excellent location close to, but not TOO close to downtown Austin, the University, and the I-35.  Perfect in all aspects, including some great restaurants nearby (you MUST try the barbecue at Hoover's)!"
244785,2767833,2012-10-30,3462706,Elizabeth,"The guesthouse is such a wonderful place to stay.  The smell of fresh cedar greeted us when we walked in late after a long plane ride.  The bedroom is on the second floor, which is surrounded by windows.  When we woke up in the morning, it felt like we were in a forest -- the sun was rising over the treetops and birds were chirping.   It was cold in Austin the first few days we were here, but the guesthouse is positioned to catch the sunlight, so it stays warm in the bedroom.  On warmer nights, we left the windows open for the breeze.  And for all its peaceful communing-with-nature qualities, the guesthouse also has all of the amenities of a hotel, including a fridge, TV, fresh towels, etc. as well as many comforts of home, like a couch, books, and a microwave.  
Belle and Alan were wonderful hosts.  We were in Austin for a week longer than we intended because of New York's hurricane.  They graciously gave us everything we needed to be comfortable here, and generally made being stranded a very pleasant experience.  I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Austin.  "
244785,2796813,2012-11-03,913576,Markus,"Great place, clean spacious in a great location"
244785,2805031,2012-11-04,3272489,Josh,Went on a very last minute trip to Austin and was lucky enough to book Belle's wonderful guest house. Great location and Belle was amicable and helpful. Definitely recommend it!
244785,2812384,2012-11-05,3849101,Lindsy,Belle's guest house was absolutely charming! The guest house is very neat and clean.  Our favorite part was waking up to a beautiful sun rise that we were able to see so clearly through the trees - stunning! We will definitely stay with Belle again when we return to Austin. 
244785,2842242,2012-11-08,4056835,Lesley,This was our first airbnb experience and it was wonderful! Belle was a great host and her guesthouse was beautiful. Everything was exactly as described and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.
244785,2861154,2012-11-12,3131353,Frank,"Nice place, very close to downtown. Belle was able to help accommodate some last minute guests.  Very quite. "
244785,2882361,2012-11-13,1302530,Oscar,"Staying overnight at Belle's was like an overnight stay far away (Taos? Sante Fe?). We woke up in a soft, fresh bed amongst tree-branches and morning sky, almost forgetting we were conveniently located right in the center of East Austin, near coffeeshops, art galleries, and music and theatre venues. The home is clean and bright with all you need. We definitely recommend a stay! "
244785,2925233,2012-11-20,1897254,James,The Aerie is a fantastic little oasis that made our trip to Austin comfortable and convenient. If/when I return I'll certainly consider an encore stay.
244785,2969017,2012-11-26,2493649,Bradford,"Wonderful space, very unique and very close to downtown. Would definitely stay again!"
244785,2978003,2012-11-27,273635,Diana & Jon,We stayed one night in the Aerie Guest House. The house is beautiful and clean! The exposed wood is truly gorgeous. We very much enjoyed our stay in the Guest House. We would recommend it to anyone. 
244785,2996877,2012-11-30,4158441,Diwata,"Very nice modern guest house at the back of Belle's house. Husband and I really admired the eco-cool decor. Very clean and well-taken care of. Good location to Austin spots, easy street parking.

For people who care, there is no cable and upper floor can be bright in the morning. We loved the view though.  "
244785,3036226,2012-12-06,628814,Victoria,"This place is a little gem and every time I am planning on traveling to Austin, I look to see if it's available. The photos do not do it proper justice. The cedar ceiling and other details make it just perfect. Belle is a great host and takes good care of her guests."
244785,3054535,2012-12-09,3300362,Rebecca,"Belle's place was lovely, and she was a delight to chat with.  I would absolutely recommend staying with her."
244785,3063743,2012-12-11,4148821,Kristin,We had a fantastic time at the Aerie guest house. I felt like I was living in Austin as we enjoyed the beautiful natural landscape and gardens around her home as well as the sight of chickens happily nestled in their coop. The location was very close the the UT campus and Downtown areas. The guest house itself was very comfortable and we enjoyed the treehouse view from the upstairs bedroom. Belle is a gracious host and we look forward to our return!
244785,3083398,2012-12-13,1719598,Theresa,"I was in Austin for business and in my determination to take some time for me during this trip, I searched for a nice, quiet place to stay.  I didn't want to be surrounded by the business of a hotel and when I saw the Aerie Guest House, I knew it would be perfect for me.  And it was!!  I had my home away from home and absolutely loved finishing my day off in my own space in peace and quiet.  I met Belle briefly and she has a wonderful calm energy about her!  Of course she would!  That's the energy that is all around Aerie!  The house is immaculately kept, the bed is very comfortable, and as I said, the energy is awesome.  I highly recommend Aerie and I will stay there again when I am back in Austin!"
244785,3089271,2012-12-14,4366577,Roy,Nice private guest house. Great location for central Austin attractions. All the comforts of home! Thanks Belle!
244785,3110336,2012-12-18,2811815,Melissa,"We spent 4 nights in Austin. One of our most memorable moments was sitting outside the Aerie in the sunny Austin AM drinking coffee with the chickens. I may have to write a song about it...
For us....perfect."
244785,3186651,2012-12-30,252247,Leslie,"This guesthouse was perfect and all you really need, good location and great price. We didn't get a chance to meet Belle, but she was super responsive over email, and her husband, who we met was very nice and friendly. The property is exactly as it is described and looks in the pictures, would definitely recommend staying here!"
244785,3221573,2013-01-02,4124058,Emily,We stayed in the Aerie on our wedding night/New Year's Eve and it was perfect for us.  It was comfortable and well appointed and I love the construction as well.  I will definitely want to stay with Belle and Allen any time we want to get out for an evening.
244785,3258577,2013-01-03,3965768,Andrew,"Lovely place. Smells wonderfully of wood. Spacious, airy. Easy and enjoyable experience."
244785,3300096,2013-01-07,641268,Butch,What a lovely place! It was very quiet and well built. I will be recommending this place to others.
244785,3318731,2013-01-09,4549551,Nicholas,"I was in Austin for an interview. Belle went above and beyond to help with finding good places to eat, transportation, and all things Austin. I highly recommend the Aerie Guest House. "
244785,3328580,2013-01-11,3480084,Mike,The location is great. House was spotless warm and beyond comfortable.
244785,3381614,2013-01-21,4200932,Michal,This was a beautiful spot- the photos don't do it justice! I stayed here with my brother & sister-in-law and the three of us were very comfortable. Belle even let us check in early and gave us some tips for our first stay in Austin. I would definitely stay here again if I was back in the city.
244785,3396997,2013-01-22,4217696,Laurie,"Had a wonderful, restful stay at Belle's Aerie Guest House. It is light, clean and comfortable. Slept well and woke up to trees and birds. Highly recommend staying at Belle's! "
244785,3410370,2013-01-25,4323524,Sky,"We had a wonderful stay at the Aerie Guest House. Belle was really nice to work with and has a gem of a place. She made things really easy and comfortable for us. This was our first experience with airbnb so we were a little worried about how it might go. After staying here we're hooked, why would we ever stay at a hotel again? If you're like us, and you prefer a more personal and private stay somewhere then this is a great way to go. We felt like we had our own beautiful little birds nest there in Austin. The guest house is very nice and cozy. It's also in a cool neighborhood with lots of good places to go eat or get a coffee within walking distance.  There were even a couple of bikes there for us to use! We definitely recommend staying here. "
244785,3453106,2013-02-01,4549304,Ellen,"Loved the spaciousness and the privacy of the small house!  Great cotton linens and extremely comfortable bed. 

Belle was lovely and very helpful.  

Friendly dog and cat a bonus if you like animals....there are even chickens in a coop next door.  

Great location for me in East Austin."
244785,3462646,2013-02-02,4914270,Andrew,The stay was great--very comfortable! Belle was very easy to communicate with and very understanding of last-minute travel plans. The guest house was private and clean. I would definitely stay again! 
244785,3481295,2013-02-05,2921403,Dana,Awesome
244785,3491623,2013-02-07,173122,Kirk Rene,"A very good airbnb experience--

the house happens to be in an interesting and representative neighborhood of the city, East Austin, where you can have old south bbq or if you must drive down to E. 6th to try the hipper eats, including the almost omnipresent but so affordable foodtruck fare, the latest in Austin eating?

the ""house"" happens to have that rare thing--two separate beds that actually have privacy relative to each other. Most airbnb lodgings of the kind we can pay for are studios, where the beds are within view of each other, In this one, the second bed is in a second story, and curiously, standing above most of the houses in this quiet, safe, neighborly area. With several windows about this bed, sleeping there in a night storm was fantastic.

Another rare thing. We actually met our hosts. Warm and easygoing, Belle was a particular pleasure to chat with."
244785,3508257,2013-02-10,1705198,Nick,"The property was just what I was looking for in a stay. Quiet, airy, tucked into the back of the property and a joy to come home to after full days on the town. 
Thank you! I will look you up next time in Austin."
244785,3543422,2013-02-14,4090659,Diana,"Great place!  Warm, welcome & homey feel. Belle was so gracious about my ever-changing winter travel issues.  The wood (cedar?) lined ceiling is incredible & filled the place with an amazing woodsy scent. The bedroom loft meant waking up surrounded by a beautiful sunrise and the sound of birds chirping...better than a treehouse.  This place is best described as hugging a tree and it hugs you back!   Loved this place. Wish I had more time there and will definitely return. "
244785,3565677,2013-02-18,4147766,Carrie,I was very pleased with my stay.  Belle was very accommodating and proactive with all her communications with us.  The guest house was very cool and most importantly very clean.  It had a lot of Austin charm to it.  This is the perfect place if you want something a bit out of the way yet not too far out of the way.  I will definitely be back next year.
244785,3596313,2013-02-20,3965768,Andrew,My girlfriend and I came back here for a second wonderful stay. It's one of our go-to spots for lodging in Austin.
244785,3607874,2013-02-22,1570942,Tig,"A great place for a group on a budget. A comfortable bed upstairs and a nice fold-out couch on the first floor. A bit of a hike to downtown, but busses run down both 12th and MLK, and Belle has a pair of bikes to loan. "
244785,3657566,2013-03-01,2790597,Emily,"Belle's guest house was very comfortable. I felt safe - traveling alone to Austin, it was really nice to be in a neighborhood with Belle as a neighbor! The ""kitchen"" set up is quite nice with a hot pot, microwave, and decent size small fridge. I hope to come back!"
244785,3684170,2013-03-04,2639919,Joseph,"Belle's Guesthouse was a wonderful find in Austin. So many interesting nooks and crannies. It was quite a sight to wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise. You felt like you had spent the night in a tree. Loved the little creatures in the yard. Made you feel as if you were right at home.
We look forward to visiting Belle again in the future. "
244785,3701228,2013-03-05,5064570,Erika,We had a great time.  The guest house is airy and comfortable and we enjoyed walking to El Chilito for breakfast burritos and coffee in the morning.  Aerie was really convenient to downtown Austin as well as some other fun parts of the city.  A great place to stay!
244785,3778837,2013-03-14,3272978,Jacqueline,We loved staying at the Aerie Guest House during SxSW Interactive!
244785,3812728,2013-03-18,344673,Kristin,"Thank you Belle!  We had a great experience at the guest house!  

The house is peaceful, clean, and spacious.  The beds are amazingly comfortable too!  I enjoyed having an efficiency kitchen so we could make breakfast at home.  The house is within walking distance of the East Side and Downtown.

Belle is great about communication and made us feel very welcome.  I am looking forward to my next stay!!





        "
244785,3869999,2013-03-23,5030114,Kristie,"We had a lovely time in the Aerie guest house. Belle and I both had last minute travel changes and she was able to accommodate both her late flight and my early arrival. The house was very clean and comfortable. The coffee and oatmeal provided in the morning was perfect for getting us going in the morning. The location was very walkable and extremely close to many forms of public transportation. Any request we had Belle was quick to respond to, we would definitely return to stay in the future. "
244785,3890886,2013-03-25,3965768,Andrew,"Always a pleasure to stay here! We were a party of four and quite comfortable. One couple downstairs, one couple upstairs. Belle was a gracious host as always. Beautiful place."
244785,3984823,2013-04-01,2611888,Zan,"This is a perfect little house for one or two people. Very comfortable bed, very comfortable surroundings, beautiful yard. A nice quiet getaway space.
"
244785,4018096,2013-04-03,628814,Victoria,"Wonderful, eco-friendly little guest house. Peaceful, comfortable stay. The photos do not do it justice! Belle is a fantastic host - everything is ready upon arrival, easy check in/out, respects your privacy. The guest house has everything you could possibly need.
Thanks for yet another wonderful stay!"
244785,4075856,2013-04-08,4864657,Erin,Belle was wonderful and so were the accomodations.  Belle was quick to help out when I needed an iron.  And the bed was soooo comfortable.  Great location for Austin.  Couldn't have asked for more.  Would definitely stay there again.
244785,4105158,2013-04-10,1936506,Adam,"Belle was so nice and inviting. The private guest house is even better in person. We were so comfortable, and really enjoyed Austin. I will be staying here again!"

244785,4152431,2013-04-14,626008,Charlene,"It was a real treat to stay in the Aerie Guest House! The space was absolutely beautiful, full of light, and powered with renewable energy to boot! The neighborhood gave us  insight into what Austin is really like, as did helpful tips from Belle about driving routes that kept us off of the highway. Also, the bed was the most comfortable we had throughout a whole week of travel to different cities. Thank you so much Belle!"
244785,4163702,2013-04-15,449578,Criste,Perfect for our one night stay. Very clean and new feeling. Convenient to town. Great place quiet neighborhood. 
244785,4201866,2013-04-18,4710669,Eric,Myself and two fellow science teachers stayed in the guesthouse for three nights while we explored Austin and its surrounding areas. Belle was a great host! The guesthouse was neat and well designed. I will stay there next time I am in Austin.
244785,4212634,2013-04-19,5260131,Jeanine,This is a great space with easy access to downtown Austin.  It is very quiet and private.  Belle had everything ready to make it easy to check in and out.

244785,4421286,2013-05-04,5952225,Marushka,"My stay at the Aerie Guest House was wonderful. Really spacious, clean and welcoming, it was a wonderful place to come back to at the end of the day. 

Wireless worked perfectly, there was a nice selection of books to browse, and I definitely sampled the tea, coffee and instant oatmeal that was set out along with electric (website hidden) worked well also. Street parking was plentiful and it was very centrally located making it easy to get around the city. Also just a stone's throw from Franklin BBQ!

Given that the bedroom is on the second level (with windows all around), there was a really lovely view of the sunrise in the mornings with a view out over the treetops towards the East. 

Could not have had a better experience - would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends!"
244785,4470827,2013-05-07,5075575,Mark,"This is a wonderful spot to base your stay in Austin. Close to restaurants, a coffee shop, and public transportation if you need that. The accommodations were spotless and as advertised. Very comfortable bed. I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin."
244785,4565378,2013-05-13,2743264,Salome,Belle's guest house was absolutely beautiful--tucked away in their lush backyard with plenty of privacy. Belle and her husband were helpful and kind and it made for a great weekend. They were walking distance from plenty of restaurants and cafes and within biking distance of plenty more.
244785,4623431,2013-05-16,5208640,Francois,"I had a very nice stay at Aerie. The place is very comfortable, beautiful and quiet. I did travel downtown by local bus and it was very easy since there are several bus routes near the house. Belle's husband was there to welcome me and answer all my questions. "

The gardens and chickens in the yard on your way in and out were the icing on the cake! We already can't wait to come back!"
244785,4775073,2013-05-25,622188,Cedric,"This place is amazing.  First off, the hosts were communicative about everything.  We arrived to an immaculate cottage in the back of their house.  Fireflies greeted us.

The cottage smelled of pine and cedar.  The beds were extremely comfortable.

In the morning, we walked to a hippie grocery, a coffee shop, and a barbecue joint.  Belle's backyard was a pristine wonderland, including a hen house and hens (so cute!), friendly cats, and a gorgeous landscape.  

I highly recommend this place for 2-4 people.  The two beds were great and the brand-new AC was silent."
244785,4791706,2013-05-26,6226039,Trish,"We stayed at Belle's guesthouse only for one night. It was very nice, had everything that we needed for our stay. One of the best things about this place is the location. Can't be beat! Close to UT campus and many great restaurants and stores. Thanks Belle for your hospitality! "
244785,4833884,2013-05-28,905609,Anne,"Aerie guest house was a fun east Austin experience. I want to thanks Belle and family for being friendly, knowledgeable and trusting us with sharing the guesthouse. We really liked the quiet neighborhood. 
Did you know Austin has 24-hour moonlight towers?! The neatest part of our stay was waking up at 5am to a downpour. In the loft bedroom of Aerie, the rain and moonlight were surreal through the many windows. It was romantic!
Thanks much

244785,4911735,2013-06-01,3472037,Jonathan,"This is the best place I have ever stayed. The accommodations aren't just gorgeous, they feel like you've returned home. Tucked behind the main house, the guest house is surrounded by interesting and beautiful plants and there is a totally friendly and relaxed dog that may greet you. Belle, your host, is extremely helpful, always available, friendly, and warm. You'll wish you could always live there!"
244785,4950792,2013-06-03,6490915,Molly,"I stayed here for a wedding weekend. My best friend was getting married at Laguna Gloria. My boyfriend and I couldn't have asked for better. Awesome little guest house! I wish the shower was a little bigger but if that's my only complaint this place is golden. Walking up to it is even a good experience. The path trails along an organic garden, past the chickens, watch out for the wolf spider and you're inside the perfect simple 2 room guesthouse. "
244785,4995872,2013-06-06,3578470,Hannah,"I stayed here in part because my room at the Hyatt as part of a conference wasn't paid for yet.  Now I'm writing this from the Hyatt, and I'd far rather be in the Aerie Guest House.  It was beautiful and comfortable and very tasteful.  If I ever found myself in Austin again, I'd want to stay there again."
244785,5018574,2013-06-08,5354693,Jessica,"Loved staying at Aerie Guesthouse! The smell of the wood when you first enter is so pleasant. The wifi and ac work great. Great location. Very quiet. Belle had oatmeal and coffee and other hot beverages available, which was great. Highly recommend. "
244785,5177446,2013-06-17,5760226,Douglas,A private and comfortable stay. We'll be back.
244785,5309111,2013-06-24,630930,Charlotte,"We had a lovely stay at Belle's guest house. The location was perfect and it was so lovely to have a whole house for such a reasonable price. The bedroom and view out the windows was beautiful to wake up to. 
Our only gripe was the very poor quality of the wifi connection. Other than that a great stay! "
244785,5380333,2013-06-27,3597960,Stephen,"The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. The location in east Austin put us in close location to everything in the area. I would highly recommend this to anyone!"
244785,5435336,2013-06-30,1975759,Jenna,"The guest house was beautiful, cool, and just as described. We loved the environmental friendliness of the place, it helped us to be part of the Austin culture. The location was perfect, only a $10 cab ride to most downtown locations. Overall, a great stay! "
244785,5540061,2013-07-05,5737354,Becky,We had a wonderful stay!  We liked the space itself and being so close to Downtown Austin.  My son was a big fan of the chickens close-by!  We will definitely return!
244785,5655086,2013-07-10,2120267,Susan,"The Guesthouse was comfortable and cozy, as picutred. We did not have a chance to meet Belle, but our arrival and departure went smoothly and we were welcomed warmly by a hen and a couple of outdoor cats. It was nice to stay in a residential neighborhood and the downtown area is very close by. There is also coffee and excellent food very close to the property.

"
244785,6150260,2013-08-01,6609545,Laura,"We loved our stay here! The house is cozy, clean, and comfortable. My friend slept on the futon, and I stayed in the room upstairs. Having the two separate rooms was great, and both beds were very comfortable. The hosts were also super sweet and accommodating. I would definitely stay there again!"
244785,6274797,2013-08-06,3111959,Jake,"We stayed in the Aerie guest house for 3 days this summer for my sister's wedding, and really enjoyed our stay. The house is cozy and very well designed! We didn't have the chance to meet up with Belle often as we were out and about most days, but she was very friendly and responsive. Overall I would definitely recommend this rental, and we hope to visit again next summer."
244785,6343097,2013-08-09,1518136,Melissa,We never met Belle but she was wonderful with communicating via email before we checked in. The house is SUPER cute and I loved seeing the chicken in the morning when we left for the day. Would totally go back!
244785,6613159,2013-08-19,6488303,Renee,A comfortable space with everything I needed for an excellent week in Austin. 
244785,6837349,2013-08-26,773506,Sid,"The best Airbnb experience I've had yet. The private home was beautiful, very clean, and all the little details were all taken care of. Belle was incredibly fast in her communication and we never once had any questions as she was always very thorough. 

If I travel back to Austin again, no doubt we will try to stay at Belle's. "
244785,6982105,2013-09-02,816641,Laura,"We loved our stay at this location. The host was communicative (which I always find to be important), the house was clean and accurately portrayed on the website, and we overall enjoyed our time there. The shower was tiny, which I could tell from the pics, but it wasn't a big deal. I would stay here again. "
244785,7157197,2013-09-09,7001708,Kristen,"I highly recommend the Aerie Guest House. It's in a perfect East Austin location, near several cafes and restaurants, and it's easy to get to downtown from there. The accommodations themselves are perfect. The air conditioners are quiet and work great (important in the summer in Austin). The bedroom being separate from the living room is really nice - we left our suitcases downstairs and the bedroom upstairs was really uncluttered & calming, with a beautiful cedar ceiling. The mini-fridge & microwave are convenient to have too. It's a really well-thought-out new construction that just has good juju. I'd absolutely stay here again!"
244785,7239802,2013-09-13,20245,Stephanie,"The Aerie guesthouse was clean comfortable and quiet. Parking was a breeze as it's a little out of town, but there are direct buses in and great restaurants nearby. Didn't get to meet Belle but communication was quick and easy with her online. All in all a great stay, thanks! "
244785,7620958,2013-09-27,278762,Jule  [You-La],"My husband and I stayed at the guesthouse for 3 days and truly enjoyed our experience. The separate house setting offers a lot of privacy, however, when we needed something or advice Belle was very helpful. She even lent us bikes which made our Austin experience so much more fun. The neighborhood is close to downtown and the guesthouse as cozy as you can see on the photos. The sunrise in the morning is just stunning and you can enjoy a panoramic view of it right from bed. I would highly recommend it - especially if you consider the price!"
244785,7787337,2013-10-03,5336714,Diana,"What a great place this is, very clean and (website hidden)'s about a 20 minute drive from the airport, and a few minutes from downtown Austin. I would stay there again in an instant."
244785,7958473,2013-10-10,18110,Jenny,"Our stay was fantastic. Every request was met with a smile and Belle made every effort to find out information if she didn't already know the answer. The location was perfect. A quiet, leafy suburb with easy and quick access to downtown by public transport. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay with Belle."
244785,8097514,2013-10-15,3956278,Juan,"Belle is a wonderful host. She made us feel right at home and the guesthouse made the experience all the more enjoyable- such a cozy cabin-like space in a quiet neighborhood. Loved the experience through and through.

Highly recommended!"
244785,8124320,2013-10-16,8181154,Rob,"Overall great experience at the Aerie guest house, did not want to leave. Lovely space and even more lovely hosts! "
244785,8289998,2013-10-23,8995907,Brad,"belle's place was perfect. my wife and i only stayed one night but it was so peaceful. we woke up to the sound of chickens, dogs, and the Texas sunrise flooding into the upstairs loft. you would have never known we were in the city. "
244785,8344429,2013-10-27,4627947,Emma,"Wow, what an amazing stay, at an amazing price.  Everything is as described, but what you can't tell from the pictures is how wonderful the light flooding in the upstairs windows in the morning is, and also how high the ceiling is.  It's on a hill and completely surrounded by trees, so waking up we felt like we were in our own private aviary.  The bed was super comfortable, too.  It was so hard to get out of it and go see any of Austin!  If I return to Austin, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else."
244785,8379536,2013-10-28,1804137,Nicole,"Amazing place! So much privacy and very clean. It's just 10 minutes away from East Austin by car. I would definitely come back to stay when I'm in Austin again. Love your guest house, Belle!"
244785,8452284,2013-10-31,3713949,David,"The place I stayed in last time I was in Austin was booked so I was worried at finding somewhere just as special - and I'm pleased to say I found it with Aerie Guest House.

The location was perfect for me.  It's in a quiet neighbourhood to the East of Austin.  I had a car and found it easy to get around.  It was also easy to find and Belle had left clear instructions for how to access the house.

The first thing I'll comment on is the bed.  It was super super comfy.  Needless to say all the sheets and pillows were soft and clean, and the wood the house is mostly made from left a lovely sweet smell in the air.

The other thing is just how incredibly great value this is - I had the luxury of the downstairs living room too which was nice for doing a bit of work in the mornings.

The bathroom more than met my needs.  Some have said it's small - well I didn't notice.  The water was hot and the shower was powerful.

I love using Airbnb to support local people instead of chains and see this as my main reason for doing so.  I still like the privacy of having a personal space while travelling.   Belle was welcoming when I got there and then left me to have fun in Austin.  She was very friendly though and I expect if you wanted to chat some more she'd do so!  I was way too busy and having been in Austin before, knew what I wanted to see.

Internet was reliable and fast.

Nothing bad to say really :)"
244785,8651618,2013-11-11,2549534,Doris,"Belle and Allen's guesthouse is a gem, rustic but comfortable and thoughtfully designed. As hosts, Belle and Allen struck the perfect balance between being friendly and respecting our privacy during our stay, and they were super responsive to our questions and requests. Their home is located a very short drive (10 minutes) from downtown Austin and the University of Texas, on a quiet residential street with plenty of parking. Our only word to the wise is that the lofted bedroom has big, beautiful windows that look out over the backyard, so that it feels like sleeping in a treehouse -- but those windows don't have curtains, so you'll wake up with the sun. If you don't mind that, then we highly recommend this guesthouse!"
244785,8746731,2013-11-15,9876224,Charles,"I had to book a last minute stay for work, but I'd never used AirBnB. Belle was very responsive and courteous. Because of her preparation and experience, my initial stay with AirBnB was fast and enjoyable! The Aerie is better than billed - extremely clean, prepped and truly stunning! I can't wait for my next trip to Austin."
244785,8811283,2013-11-19,4174609,Shirley,"The guest house is just as Belle describes in the overview. Very private.  Spotlessly clean, everything works and when it doesn't (a small hiccup with the AC during an unusually hot November day), Belle's husband was very helpful and fixed the problem quickly (since they live in the adjacent home, it was easy to get help).  The walk through the garden is a little challenging if you use roller cases, but not a show stopper.  And as you travel the path to the Aerie, you may even make friends with Belle's two indoor/outdoor cats ... both very friendly if you take time to stop and greet.  Would highly recommend for a couple visiting downtown Austin."
244785,8857344,2013-11-22,9474278,Chris,"Belle's ""Aerie Guest House"" was just as described, and just what I needed for my quick, one-night stay in Austin.  Great location, would definitely recommend to others!"
244785,8928592,2013-11-26,2458745,Paul,"Belle's place is everything you want in an Airbnb experience:  a great place, a great location, and a charming and helpful host.  The Aerie is tucked into her lovely East Austin backyard.  It is very well designed, with the bedroom/loft up in the trees.  It is cozy and very private.  The location couldn't be better:  a quiet neighborhood five minutes from great restaurants, the UT campus, and downtown Austin.  Belle knows Austin and will point you in all the right directions.  I'm particularly thankful beccause I had a late flight home and she graciously allowed me to linger all day.   A perfect Airbnb experience."
244785,8967625,2013-11-29,9297503,Mason,Beautiful place and area. Belle was great in terms of communication and friendliness. I highly recommend. 
244785,9109951,2013-12-07,3713066,Jeremy,"Fantastic place, funky, cool, and definitely under-priced."
244785,9180406,2013-12-11,4577888,Kirsty,"Great location and a beautiful little mini house. We loved the upstairs bedroom with all of the windows, it was close to excellent coffee and good eats. I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Austin."
244785,9330560,2013-12-22,1742267,Jonathan,"The room/apartment is really nice and clean, and looks like it was purpose-built for hosting guests.  It's set behind Belle's main house, and has its own entrance which is very convenient.  

The main downside is the location - it's not close enough to downtown to walk, so you need to take the bus or drive to get to the heart of Austin.  It's only about a 5 minute drive, but it's something to be aware of.  

Belle was extremely nice and accommodating, and even gave us a set of folding chairs to use while we were waiting in line at Franklin's!  Overall we had a great time."
244785,9444307,2013-12-29,2823490,Shelli,"Belle's place is great!  Clean, modern, energy-efficient, great east-side location, safe & quiet.  Highly recommended."
244785,9600698,2014-01-03,10128256,Macey,"We had a wonderful short trip to Austin for New Years Eve, which was only made better by our lovely stay at the Aerie guest house.
It was very clean, minimally but quaintly decorated, and exactly as described.  Tons of windows flooded sunlight in the morning and showed the stars at night.  The bed was very comfortable and the location was on such a peaceful little street on the East Side.
Highly recommended! "
244785,9768357,2014-01-08,11037625,Ann,"Fantastic first time experience with air bnb and Aerie Guest House!
Belle was prompt with the reservation and a pleasure to deal with. The guest house is a work of beauty and simplicity... The space just makes ya happy to be there! It will be my first choice for a stay in Austin. Great  neighborhood... Bennu coffee shop and the Wet Whistle were within walking distance and very enjoyable.
Thanks, Belle!"
244785,9852554,2014-01-14,6514507,Natalie,"truly a 5-star experience.  privacy, great location, full amenities.  if you do not have to be connected to wifi consistently, then definitely 5 stars.  

belle tried to help with my wifi issue during my stay but the connection remained spotty.  if i didn't have to do some work while on my austin weekend then this would not have been an issue.  it's a unique issue as my friend and i were trying to do some work before we started on our weekend vacation.  

but here's tip if you do stay here and need wifi....lay your laptop on top of the books on the bookshelf by the window on the first floor, and the connection is great there.  "
244785,9885768,2014-01-17,1763259,Ann,"1. Great location for walking to downtown, capital building grounds, and University of Texas - Austin.
2. Host offered great dining options for our first evening - also open to further inquiries.
3. Communication prior to arrival likewise helpful.
4. Slept well:  quiet neighborhood and unique upstairs room among the treetops.  
5. Good experience and a great bargain. 

"
244785,9983280,2014-01-23,4710397,Sharon,"I love this place! It's close to great restaurants, coffee shops and a bus line. It's clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. The hosts are great. I will definitely stay there again!

"
244785,10031329,2014-01-27,8637029,Kevin,"Interesting, aesthetic and quirky retreat with a tree-house feel. Handcrafted ambiance with lots of light and surprisingly quiet. Bring eye-shades if you like to sleep in. "
244785,10073021,2014-01-28,11495964,Kimberly,"Cute little guest house, convenient location, friendly owner, would for sure visit again!"
244785,10191259,2014-02-05,4027178,Simon,"A great guesthouse and a great host. Belle was very helpful for any inquiries and mindful of your privacy as well. Clean, tons of natural light. Very cool space with the upstairs bedroom loft. Close to a great cafe (Bennu) and good restaurants. Quiet neighborhood and easy access with public transit to anywhere (download the tripmate Austin lite app for all transit info). Great price and place indeed!
"
244785,10209977,2014-02-06,10499316,Christina,Belle's apartment is a very special spot to wake up. From the second floor you feel like you're in a bird house. Lovely and with everything you need.  Also very easy with communication and location. Recommend.
244785,10225687,2014-02-07,11852166,Jordan,"Loved this place. Cute, clean and quiet. Comfy bed and nice and simple decor. Perfect place to get away for a few nights. I wanna go back! "
244785,10246105,2014-02-09,4601633,Heather,"Staying here certainly added to our enjoyment of Austin.  The house was quiet, clean and private. The upper floor has a great open feel to it!  Although we didn't get the pleasure of meeting Belle, the chickens and cat all greeted us each morning and evening.  

The location is perfect. It is close to the university and downtown and there are a number of great restaurants/bars/cafes all within walking distance.

If we return to Austin, we will certainly stay here again!
"
244785,10332277,2014-02-14,4266623,Dave,"Yet another wonderful stay in the Aerie Guest House! The space is serene, comfortable, charming and a welcome break from an impersonal, noisy hotel. Belle and Allan have provided many amenities to make it as homey as possible, and you couldn't ask for a more soothing space to wake up in each morning than the upstairs bed. Thanks again for a great visit to Austin."
244785,10601998,2014-02-27,11110814,Carla,"Staying at the Aerie guest house was such a treat + the host, Belle is lovely to work with. The house was exceptionally clean, neat + tidy and it is so charming. The upstairs bedroom felt as if I were sleeping in a treehouse. It was so peaceful + relaxing. I came into Austin visiting from NYC because I am considering moving to Austin + I wanted a local experience + it was perfect...exactly what I was looking for. Belle responds to emails + text right away and was very helpful. The location is also great. It is very quick to downtown and central Austin. It seems a 15 minute drive or less will get you anywhere you need to be. Parking is easy and available right outside of the main house too. There are also so many great shops + restos close to the house in the East Austin neighborhood, which I really loved. I will certainly stay here again + I had such a blast in Austin. Thank you, Belle! :) "
244785,10650273,2014-03-01,12503184,Maggie,"What a wonderful guesthouse! Clean, simple yet cozy and equipped with everything one would need, down to corkscrews and mini fridge. The bed was really comfortable. Waking up in the upstairs room is like a dream in itself. 

I didn't get to meet Belle, but she was always available and responsive via text. We had even left a pair of shoes behind when we checked out and Belle contacted me right away so we were able to pick them up. 

Highly recommend and will definitely try to book this place again next time I'm in Austin! "
244785,10718620,2014-03-04,783148,Whitney,"We loved staying in the Aerie guest house!  Belle and her family were very accommodating and the chickens were awesome.  The guesthouse is really comfortable, beautifully designed and efficiently built.  The location was convenient to get to Downtown and East Side restaurants and bars but in a quiet neighborhood. We definitely recommend this stay!"
244785,10764576,2014-03-06,3834717,Santi,"Was in town for SXSWedu and needed a place to stay. Belle's place was very cozy and comfortable. Quick 10-minute cab ride to downtown Austin, no problem. There is also a bus there. Belle was very hospitable and I would definitely stay here again."
244785,10874109,2014-03-11,673136,Chris,"The Aerie Guest House is a wonderful little backyard detached house with lots of coziness built in, and an adjacent [quiet] chicken coop. We stayed during SXSW and though it was a 45 minute to the Convention Center, it suited our needs well. Alan (Belle's husband) was attentive, responsive, and friendly and made our stay perfectly pleasant. 

The location was also better than we expected — in a quiet neighborhood with access to cafes and restaurants within a 10-15 minutes walk."
244785,10997250,2014-03-17,6224094,Vanessa,"I was looking for a place to feel like home during sxsw festival and this was definitely a winner. Cozy feelung, lovely structural details. However,  this place doesn't have much of a kitchen,  its bare bones. If you really looking for a place to shower and sleep this works. Looking fir a place to make homecook meals, look elsewhere. It would be nice to have a hotplate or drinking water available to make light, quick meals. The shower basin was really small and could benefit from the curtain rod placed further away as to not have it stick to your body. The curved curtain rod could be extended out so the curtain falls further away. Very nice to have mass transit maps and various books around.  Every morning the birds were chirping loud, which I didn't mind.  Definitely a good jomey place about 2.5miles east of Red River and close to the Mlk road where there are various restaurants."
244785,11091099,2014-03-20,291375,Jaclyn,"Adorable place - clean, well insulated & quiet. Belle was flexible and considerate. We'd totally stay there again.
Our kids loved the chickens, dog & cat outside but if your little ones are still wobbly the inside stairs might be a bit steep."
244785,11262872,2014-03-27,12219087,Christina,"Belle is a lovely, accommodating and laid-back host. The home is located near some of our favorite Austin spots along Manor Ave., and a short bike ride from East sixth and downtown, as well as just a few minutes to the UT campus. The house is a bit sparse but perfect for a few night's stay, with coffee and tea provided, as well as a microwave and mini-fridge. We were able to bring our dog who had a blast playing in their yard with their little dog, Sparky. The home is in excellent condition and it is a real treat to stay in. It does get bright in the mornings, however, as there are no curtains to block ut the sunlight. o"
244785,11294149,2014-03-28,13324477,Emma,"Our initial plan was to go camping, however the forecast called for rain all day. We made a late reservation Tuesday night for Wednesday and Belle was very punctual in responding to our requests and accommodating us on such short notice. The guest house is even better than the pictures. Really nice windows and very clean, comfortable place to stay. Cute chickens next door. We would definitely recommend and stay here again. "
244785,11582486,2014-04-08,11785710,Maxwell,"We loved staying here! The guest house was lovely and Belle was extremely accommodating, while maintaining a sense of privacy. The location was ideal, with easy access to eastside bars and restaurants, as well as downtown. We had two guests, upstairs and downstairs, and the sleeper sofa downstairs was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again."
244785,11952605,2014-04-20,576930,Megan,"Belle was a sweet host, and the location is awesome. Within running/biking distance of really cool stuff, and WALKING distance of great, hyper local BBQ. We liked the space, especially, the bedroom which is beautifully sky-lit. Definitely recommend if you're in Austin. "
244785,12267311,2014-04-28,596863,Nate,The place was perfect and Belle was extremely warm and accommodating.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat.  
244785,12349926,2014-04-29,14133309,Beatriz,"Our stay at the Aerie Guesthouse was short, but a great one. The neighborhood is great and we were close to everything! Belle was very sweet and I was absolutely fell in love with her home. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed all the natural lighting, especially in the morning. We will definitely be back!"
244785,12602883,2014-05-06,5665925,Lauren,Belle was the perfect AirB&B hostess with a gorgeous getaway tucked behind her main house. We barely even saw her as I think our schedules were different most of the trip. We loved that she put cold water in the fridge for us and the bed in the loft was ideally comfy. Quietest air conditioning units ever too. Would definitely would stay there again should I find myself in Austin! 
244785,13001494,2014-05-17,835236,Jenny,Great cottage with a wonderful serenity from the top floor!  We would for sure stay here again.  Belle was available and easy to communicate with and everything was even better than expected or listed.  
244785,13490900,2014-05-28,2387697,Colin,Belle was a lovely host. The guest house is charming and the location is just far enough from downtown for an enjoyable bike ride! 
244785,17993070,2014-08-20,11432078,Amanda,"The house was wonderful and very clean. There was enough space for my friend and I to live there for around three months without any troubles. Unfortunately, there was no true kitchen but Belle was nice enough to allow us to use their outside stove and oven which really helped! We were treated kindly and whenever we ran into a maintenance issue with the place, Belle and her family were quick to help us out. The bus station was close enough that we could get onto campus in a reasonable time period and taking summer classes worked perfectly while staying here. Overall, the stay was good and we enjoyed out time here! "
244785,18620807,2014-08-29,17265576,Melanie,"We were very comfortable during our week-long stay at the Aerie Guest House. We did not meet Belle, but her husband and daughter were very friendly and accommodating. 
It was our first time visiting Austin and even though we did not have a vehicle, we were able to get around the city very easily using the bus system (the stops for multiple bus lines are very close to the Guest House). The neighbourhood itself is really nice. The guest house is less than ten minutes walking distance from Manor Street which has a lot of great places to eat or just have a drink. There is also 'Bennu coffee' within five minutes (walking), they are open 24hrs and serve great coffee...a great place to start your day. The bikes that Belle can provide are an added bonus... if you can brave the Texas heat!
There isn't a working kitchen in the guest house, but there is a mini-fridge, kettle, and microwave - perfect for any leftovers or small groceries you take home with you. 
The bedroom is lovely. The bed itself is super comfy, and the abundance of windows provides a really beautiful light. We slept really well every night.
Even though the guest house is located right behind the main house on Belle's property, there is no lack of privacy. We felt as though we were in our own secluded chalet. 
All in all, I definitely recommend a stay at the Aerie Guest House."
244785,19212418,2014-09-08,3894917,Lisa,"The Aerie Guest house was just perfect for my friend and I.  It was not only centrally located but beautiful and welcoming!  Its beauty lies in the simplicity of the house with its natural elements.  The ceiling upstairs is just amazing and it turns out Belle and her family did all the woodwork themselves! This place is impressive and comfortable ... and it smells amazing!  I highly recommend staying here.

(P.S. Love the Bennu coffee shop down the street, 24 hours, and great people.) 

Thank you, Belle, for a beautiful stay.  We will definitely be staying here (if you have room for us) upon our return to Austin."
244785,19307978,2014-09-09,19692889,Joanna,"I had a great time! Belle responded to my request to stay in minutes and even though it was late in the day and last minute she had the place ready for me in a flash. She was easy to contact, prompt in responding to all my questions or needs, and generous. The 2 story ""granny flat"" or guesthouse was spacious, clean, comfy, and private. The bathroom was stocked with toiletries, a hair dryer, and even hand mirror...very thoughtful in my opinion. Belle gave me some great advice on local independent grocers and the room had a fridge and microwave. Good value for the money, great host, private comfy space. Thank you!!!"
244785,19390262,2014-09-11,2179009,We Are Leah And Scott,Great little guesthouse. Great host. Very cute dog. Perfect place to crash for an Austin get away. Highly suggest staying here.
244785,19490120,2014-09-13,12006291,Samantha,"What a fantastic space! Belle was super friendly and while she offered us to let here know if we needed anything it wasn't necessary as everything we could have possibly needed was in the guest house. The Neighborhood is nice and isn't too far a walk from the sites downtown. Also they have a sweet dog and chickens, that made my morning, I love chickens! Thank you Belle we had a great time :)  "
244785,19599569,2014-09-15,18230678,Anni,"Our stay at Aerie was very enjoyable.  We stayed for two nights with our 6 month old baby and loved everything about the guest house. Located at the back of their house, the guesthouse is its own little oasis in the backyard. We enjoyed visiting the chickens in the morning and watching them eat the bamboo. The guest house has two stories both which were equipped with air con. The living area is downstairs along with the bathroom. The bedroom is located upstairs. The construction of the house was made with a two toned wood. The washroom was lined with gorgeous glazed tiles. The guesthouse had everything we needed. The decor and design is simple yet unique with a rustic feel. Belle was a very gracious and responsive host. They made sure we had everything that we needed. I definitely would highly recommend this place. "
244785,19754782,2014-09-17,21132389,Barbara,"Clean, cool and comfortable! I felt very secure while traveling alone. Belle was very considerate and had everything ready for me to check in early due to a conference I was scheduled to attend. Thank you for a great nights sleep!"
244785,19809542,2014-09-18,21332825,Margaret,I only stayed one night since I was in Austin for meetings. Warm neighborhood and sweet hide-away close to town. I needed sleep after some international travel so crashed early in the upstairs treehouse and slept happily through a wonderfully violent thunderstorm! Met Belle and dog Sparky on my way out. Loved the spot and will stay again. 
244785,20253926,2014-09-26,15860656,Sarah,"Spent two nights here - loved it! Quiet neighborhood, easy walk to some excellent restaurants.  Was a great place to crash after two long days of work.  Did not want to get out of the comfy bed upstairs.  Would stay again next time I'm in town."
244785,20281051,2014-09-27,2340551,Katherine,Great experience!  The guest house is really charming and clean.  I liked that the key was waiting for me in a magnetic box so that I could have flexibility with my arrival.  
244785,20429771,2014-09-29,20244592,Brent,Belle was a great host as even though she was out of town she was prompt in her responses to my text messages and calls.  Belle's husband was also very welcoming and gave us a quick tour of the place despite our late arrival. The cottage was very unique and cozy and Belle even provided amenities for bathing and breakfast.  We will definitely stay here again whenever we are back in Austin!
244785,20516764,2014-09-30,20696634,Nicole,"Belle was very responsive and accommodating.  She was very cool about allowing me to stay past checkout due to transportation delays. She even told me to take my time as the place wasn't reserved the next night. I was disappointed that we came in so late from driving back to austin from new Orleans, we didn't get to enjoy her cozy comfy home away from home for longer than a few hours before our early flight. We really appreciated the magnetic key box by the front which safely and privately allowed us to walk in the door and crash from the long road trip. The loft upstairs was divine and the specific directions for the a/c was a very sweet gesture for those of us that are not tech savvy. Thank you so much for your hospitality and kindness!!"
244785,20624393,2014-10-02,16918792,Bonnie,The Aerie Guesthouse was super cute. Beautiful carpentry throughout. The bedroom felt like a really cool treehouse. The neighborhood is a little removed from downtown but close to major buslines so it was easy to get around. Bunne coffee is under 10 minutes away by foot and great. We would stay here again!
244785,20953491,2014-10-08,2457675,Jeff,"Belle was accommodating and helpful, polite and respectful of my space. The place itself was a perfect fit, and comfortable with one unfortunate exception. The air conditioning units in the upstairs room failed on the final night, and would not run at all no matter what I did (Belle DID leave detailed instructions on trouble shooting, but they were to no avail.) Sadly, this meant the last night of my stay was uncomfortable, as it wa nearly 85 degrees in the upstairs bedroom. I ended up on the downstairs pull out (where the AC unit worked like a champ), but the bed downstairs is NOT comfortable enough for my 40 year old back. It might be great for kids, but not a realistic sleeping option for most adults, I wouldn't think.

That one night aside, the place felt homey and welcoming. There was an adorable puppy, a few chickens, and even a cat that decided he wanted to come in and sleep on my bed one of the nights I was there. Cat allergy sufferers, maybe keep an eye out. "
244785,21275678,2014-10-14,14611880,Kimberly,"Belle was extremely accommodating right when we landed. She was very flexible when it came to our check in time because we had an earlier flight. Shampoo and soap was provided so we didn't have to worry about getting it while we were there or bringing bottles of shampoo onto the plane. 

Easy access to bus and car2go when needed. Short walk to train but the train itself it was confusing. It would be great to afternoon commuting but stops running after 6:30pm and doesn't start running until 4:30pm 

Overall, wonderful experience!"
244785,21387706,2014-10-16,2947089,Jamie,Belle was great! And the house was so cute and perfect! Will definitely book next time I need a place in Austin! 
244785,21510153,2014-10-19,11136393,Jen,"Belle went out of her way to make us feel welcome while also respecting our privacy. The listing accurately displays her lovely guest house, and we would highly recommend this to anyone wishing for a private and peaceful stay. Easy walk to coffee shops and convenience stores. Belle also has a mini-library that was enjoyable for reading and helpful for sight-seeing. We would stay here again! "
244785,21605524,2014-10-20,11449124,Blair,"I had a great experience in the guest house! Belle was very accommodating and let me drop my bags off a little before check-in. The guest house is great. It was clean, comfortable and I appreciated that there was water in the fridge and little things around like pens and maps! The location is pretty central, so you can easily take buses, the Metro or walk."
244785,21729765,2014-10-22,22621357,Justin,Belle our host in Austin was very respectful and helpful. The guest house gave me everything I had wanted in a place to stay. 
244785,21755204,2014-10-23,21176991,Alvaro,"Great place to stay.    Nice quiet neighborhood.  Exactly how it was described.  I didn't get to meet the owner because I came in late and left early.  Everything was taken care of.   When I had questions, I would text the owner and she responded very promptly.  If I ever find myself in Austin, Belle's place will always be the first place on my list.  
I only stayed there one night and I really regret I couldn't stay longer."
244785,21866648,2014-10-26,7875823,Courtney,"We absolutely loved our stay at the Aerie Guesthouse.  The place is even more beautiful than the photos.  The setting is centrally located, but in a super quiet neighborhood, and is warm, bright, very clean, and uniquely Austin.  Belle was a very gracious host.  She was super flexible with our late night arrival and gave clear instructions about how to get in.  She checked in on us periodically but also gave us plenty of privacy.  We will definitely stay there again and would recommend the Aerie Guesthouse to anyone.  It was perfect for us.  We were sad to leave and head back home.   "
244785,22072633,2014-10-29,8595698,Craig,"Wonderful place, very kind and accommodating host, and a great city"
244785,22114569,2014-10-30,7036268,Rachael,"Belle was an amazing host! We got in so late but she still checked in to see if we needed anything. In the morning she was so kind as to recommend and give us a quick ride to get breakfast. Thank you so much, Belle!!"
244785,22287366,2014-11-03,2807461,Chris,"We made plans very early in the year to visit Austin for Formula 1, and Belle was very accommodating in letting us book so early (in January for the race on Nov 2nd), and communication was never an issue. Although we were mostly out and about and only saw each other twice during the visit, she made it clear she was just a text or call away if we needed anything. The house itself is very nicely designed and cozy, exactly like the photos show. The neighborhood is quiet and is the location is really convenient, as it's very close to a lot of restaurants and the UT campus + downtown areas. It's easily accessible by car with ample street parking, and my guess is public transportation is not a problem either, judging by the number of bus schedules/sightseeing maps in the small downstairs ""library"". We had no issues getting the A/C or WiFi to work, and clear instructions were provided. All in all, it was a great first airbnb experience for us, and we would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Austin! Thanks again!"
244785,22519211,2014-11-09,12833458,Sean,"Belle was a gracious host and my stay was very enjoyable. The guest house was clean, cozy and conveniently located. Highly recommended."
244785,22614358,2014-11-10,5233496,Ulrika,Lovely private house in a nice neighbourhood!
244785,22977234,2014-11-19,1924740,Kevin,Great host.  Very cozy place.  Belle was very helpful and accommodating.
244785,23061011,2014-11-22,17678283,Matthew,"Belle was amazing! I didn't see her much as I was gone most of the time but when I did she was very helpful, even offered to give me a ride in the rain. The space was clean and nice. I loved the rural feel of the place and the wildness of the yard, and especially the chickens. Close to the light rail and bus transit. Definitely would recommend."
244785,23149467,2014-11-24,2862406,Nicolle,"We had a great experience at Belle's Aerie Guest House!  The two floor guest house was spotless and very well furnished.  We were greeted with a few suggestions and directions (both were excellent) and even though there is ample transportation in the area, when it was a bit on the far side we were even given a ride to a Car2go car.  Hosts are warm friendly and very green!  We decided to extend our stay another night in Austin, but unfortunately they were already booked.  And we completely understood why:  Great location, very warm home feeling guesthouse, and friendly/helpful/eco-conscious hosts.  We would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the Austin area."
244785,23521920,2014-12-03,4458406,Nancy,"Belle was not home when I arrived yet responded quickly by phone to all of my questions.  The accomodation was welcoming, clean, safe and private, a sense of being rural yet in the inner city. Convenient and centrally located to all things Austin.  Communication was easy and just right."
244785,23579146,2014-12-05,4305993,Kaycee,"What a WONDERFUl way to pass through Austin! This is a BEAUTIFUL, private little space, very close to downtown. Tastefully decorated, warm and cozy. LOVED IT! My dog Gatur and I had a lovely time. The chickens are SO CUTE. :)"
244785,23602746,2014-12-06,14520167,Brandon,Belle and Alan were very welcoming and hospitable. The location was perfect and just what we needed for an overnight stay.
244785,23656694,2014-12-07,1315797,Heather,"My husband and I arrived a little early to check in , but Belle was just finishing up.  We were warmly greeted by her.  She gave us a pitcher of filtered water and fresh towels and just a general overview of the rental policy.  The house is close to everything and the neighborhood is great with lots of restaurants and anything you would need.  The listing is as described and I loved it.  There is a lot of detail and thought that have been put into the aerie guest house.  The bed is really comfy.  Parking was no hassle and Belle was a pleasure to work with.  I would love to come back and stay again!"
244785,23787421,2014-12-10,712575,Meghan,"Belle's place was as described and better.  Bed was very comfortable, heating easy to use with the instructions Belle provides, and there is a beautiful view from the upstairs windows of treetops and the sunrise.  Very relaxing.  I didn't get a chance to meet Belle, but checking in was easy and she was very responsive and available if needed.  Plenty of on-street parking if you are coming by car.  Would love to stay again next time I am in Austin."
244785,23884544,2014-12-13,9348982,Roderick,"As usual this place is great.  Belle is a very generous hostess and offers a very nice place to stay right near downtown.  Her place is clean quiet and has everything you need for a memorable trip to the hill country.  Anytime I get the chance to travel out to Austin, this is my place.  

Thanks again Belle."
244785,24106478,2014-12-20,23165192,Marian,We loved our stay in the tree top Aerie guest house. The top bedroom is where I stayed while my grown sons were downstairs in the main room. We were close to downtown but a car is necessary. It is very private behind the main house and we had a great time bringing in carry out food. There is no kitchen but were able to use the hot water pot and tea and coffee that is provided. We would definitely come back! Lots of great communication from our host too to see if we needed anything. Thank you Belle!
244785,25194089,2015-01-09,11688562,Elisabeth,"We spent 11 wonderful days in Austin and Aerie Guesthouse was the perfect place to stay for us. Spacious, very clean, with everything you need and not 'crowded' with things you don't need. Bedroom upstairs is super quiet, bed very comfortable (we are two tall people) and view from the many windows is gorgeous (see the sun coming up from your bed, have fun with happy squirrels in the trees). Airco/heating worked perfectly well and bathroom is very much allright (plenty warm water, big towels). Quiet neighborhood, very much private in the big enough backyard of Belle, we felt very safe. All the fun stuff from (East) Austin nearby and plenty of room to park your bicycle (and your car on the street). Warmly recommended."
244785,25287328,2015-01-11,25373561,Anika,"Belle has an absolutely gorgeous guest house. She was super accommodating, and it was very easy to get to downtown Austin. Our stay was short, but very very enjoyable and a much needed respite from our cross country road trip. "
244785,25347460,2015-01-12,19611171,Matthew,"Belle was extremely accommodating and made me feel welcome even on a last minute booking.  Love her beautiful, energy efficient home.  It was an awesome break during a long trip.  Would definitely stay here if I ever make my way back to Austin. "
244785,25426579,2015-01-15,8595698,Craig,Second time staying here – is a great place with a wonderful host
244785,25494599,2015-01-18,2724148,Valarie,"We really enjoyed our stay in Belle's Aerie Guesthouse. The house is full of warm wood tones and natural light - just beautiful. There's plenty of street parking and Bennu Coffee is within walking distance (about 5 blocks). I'd definitely recommend staying here, it was a great experience. "
244785,25572161,2015-01-19,7900648,Lauren,"I did not actually meet Belle, but she gave me detailed instructions in advance, and I never needed to contact her, since I had no problems at all with the property. It's a spacious, comfortable, and very cool guest house. The neighborhood is lovely, but residential; it might have been difficult to see the more lively parts of Austin if I had arrived without a car. I would definitely choose Belle's guest house again."
244785,25633093,2015-01-21,8440235,Chris,Belle was very easy to communicate with and her place was cozy and private. Would absolutely recommend staying here!  
244785,25699610,2015-01-23,26301832,Tanel,"We met Belle briefly upon our arrival and found her to be extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. She provided a great recommendation for food and I have no doubt that she would have assisted further with anything else we needed.
The guest house was immaculate, quirky and really comfortable. We had nice views of the garden from the bedroom.

The neighbourhood was really peaceful and not too far from town (around 25 minute walk), but there is also a bus from nearby which you can catch into town.

I would definitely recommend, great value for money and Belle was a great host."
244785,25715307,2015-01-24,9785974,Katy,"our experience in belle's guest house was fantastic. the heater kept us warm through the night, as i'm sure it would have kept us cool if we had needed ac. belle was very friendly and accommodating, though we didn't require much. we're early risers, so having the sun stream in through the windows in the morning was nice, though if you lay on the window-side of the bed (which was very comfortable, by the way) you'll get an eyefull of sunshine when you awake.
overall, i'd say this was definitely one of my top air b&b experiences. i would stay with belle again!"
244785,25761513,2015-01-25,25354128,Susan,Belle was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Aerie guest house is in great location - close to downtown. Would definitely stay there again. 
244785,25839531,2015-01-27,21361294,Kelley,"Belle's guest house was a great place to stay in Austin. It was private, quiet, and comfortable. and we felt very welcomed there. She was very helpful when we had questions about the area. The neighborhood is nice too. It's quiet, but there's a lot of stuff to do and see in the area. Thanks again for hosting us!!!!"
244785,25894310,2015-01-28,23429447,Connie,Something about the way beautiful wood smells and having a private view from the bedroom....made me almost not want to write this because I don't want competition when I'm coming to town on business ! perfect way to feel at home when you're really working - thank you toy very hospitable and friendly hostess.  I am a huge fan of the tiny house movement so having this reprieve prior to retirement was inspiring...
244785,25915849,2015-01-29,5877817,Ron,"We thoroughly enjoyed our short but very sweet stay at Belle's guest house.  It is a truly unique place, spacious and outfitted to meet your every need within a minimal footprint.  The pictures well represent the look of a guest house that was planned and built with airbnb in mind.  We appreciated the emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency.  The neighborhood is both convenient to a very vibrant city, and peaceful and quiet.  An easy walk, bike or car ride to UT and the downtown sites which we were able to sample during our brief stay. We fortunately got to meet Belle, a part of the Airbnb experience that we very much enjoy.  She both respected our privacy and made herself available should we have any additional needs.  The guesthouse is completely worthy of the 5 star reviews it has received, we would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone visiting Austin.  Thank you Belle."
244785,25999793,2015-02-01,461387,Noah,"Aeirie Guest House is great.  Wonderful location, you couldn't ask for anything better in Austin.  Belle is a great host, so accommodating and did everything she could to make my stay perfect.  The guest house is exactly as pictured and really warm and comfy.  Really comfortable bed too.  Definitely will be my place to stay again in Austin!"
244785,26157636,2015-02-05,4881107,Rob,"Belle was great. When we asked her what to do in Austin, and to tell us about the city, she busted out a map and gave a super detailed and great explanation about all different parts of the city. The guest house was beautiful and so cozy. I definitely recommend staying here!"
244785,26245713,2015-02-08,24952815,John,Accurate description and excellent location. Would stay again!
244785,26401652,2015-02-11,8595698,Craig,Another wonderful stay in Austin; beautiful weather to boot
244785,26451639,2015-02-13,22302844,Heather,House was very comfortable and we enjoyed our stay. Just the right size for us and what we needed. The bed was super comfortable and was nice to wake up to the birds chirping and sun shining. 
244785,26556427,2015-02-15,26966354,Lee,"The property is wonderful and minutes away from the places you want to be. I cannot overstate how easily accessible the city is from this location. You have a lot of choices and alternative routes to access South Congress, the Capital and 6th Street and 45th Street to the north within 15 minutes but you are far enough away that it is peaceful at night."
244785,26856397,2015-02-21,3572477,John,"An excellent place to stay! Belle was very helpful and welcoming. There were three of us: myself, son and grandson and Belle provided a foam mattress for the upstairs floor so we could all have our own bed. 
She also provided instant coffee makings and instant oatmeal packages.

We were in Austin for my grandson's preview of University of Texas. The location was ideal: just about a mile from campus and reachable by foot or bus a few blocks away. Lots of food and beverage places within a 10 minute walk. "
244785,26963996,2015-02-22,20335661,Bill,"A great place to stay in Austin.  Belle and her family are really nice and accommodating people.  Their property is quaint, queit, clean, and close to everything you need.  You can't go wrong staying here.  Thanks Belle!"
244785,27533833,2015-03-07,24358796,Linda,"We loved staying at the Aerie Guest House. It's in a great location, within minutes of downtown. We were able to ride bikes easily from there to the river. The guest house is comfortable and you almost felt like you were in a tree house looking outside from the bedroom. Belle was a wonderful host and made us feel right at home."
244785,28301922,2015-03-22,830996,Grant,Belle was a great host and very friendly. Super cozy studio in a very quiet neighborhood close to downtown!
244785,28398861,2015-03-23,3941375,Nicole,I had a short but very sweet stay at the Aerie Guest House. It was lovely and the neighbourhood was great. The space looks exactly as shown and was very comfortable. Belle was very accommodating and helpful! 
244785,28485626,2015-03-24,28477197,Anna,"We loved our stay at the Aerie, the space is amazing and it's a great location. Everything was clean and comfortable. We only stayed one night and never actually met Belle, but she was quick to reply with any questions! "
244785,28860676,2015-03-31,22566882,Leonie,The guesthouse was a lovely place to stay during our time in Austin! Belle was very welcoming and provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

244785,29029740,2015-04-02,8708918,Jamie And Aja,Belle was an excellent host.  She was easy to communicate with and her home was exactly as described.  The location was great; close to everything but also a quaint neighborhood.  The house was very clean and the bed was quite comfortable.  It was the perfect home away from home for us.  Thanks!
244785,29164001,2015-04-05,5185957,Rachel,"The guest house was great! Our flight got in fairly late, yet we had no problems finding it or letting ourselves in. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the space was perfect for two people for the weekend. It felt private, but was close to so many things! "
244785,29543210,2015-04-09,6146001,Ellen,"Belle was super nice and accommodating. The guest house is gorgeous--like a fancy, roomy tree house. The neighborhood is quirky, with bars, taquerias and cafes in walking distance and downtown, SoCo and other neighborhoods just a quick drive or bus ride away. In short, this was the PERFECT home base in Austin. Would love to come back!"
244785,29812326,2015-04-13,2868427,Zane,"A beautiful space in a wonderful part of the city. Low key, comfortable and an all-around great experience. Very good vibe--stocked with everything you need--and a special place to wake up. The smell of the cedar details is distinct and peaceful. Chickens for neighbors is a bonus."
244785,30187707,2015-04-19,15079772,Kristiaan,Belle was at the house and was ready to show me around the place. She was prepared and messaged to keep me updated. The place was ready before check-in. I can tell she's a veteran hostess!
244785,30442741,2015-04-22,1213640,Matthew,An excellent and perfectly located place to see the sights. Couldn't have been happier. 
244785,30666135,2015-04-26,26843369,Ash,"Belle and her husband were very courteous and help full. The accommodations were very clean and nice. The Aerie felt very quiet and private, minutes from down town. I am definitely coming back.
 "
244785,30931267,2015-04-29,24811797,Nicola,We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Aerie Guest House.  The place was in a great neighbourhood so close to anything we wanted to do in Austin.  The public transport was easy to locate and we were really happy with all of Belle's recommended restaurants we tried in the area. Belle was a really great host and we loved being made to feel welcome in the homely but very private setting. 
244785,31164409,2015-05-03,3529485,Tyler,Belle was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Austin at her guest house.  She communicated well and was there for us every step of the way.   I hear she's moving and it will be a shame that this place is no longer available.  Hopefully she continues to host when she gets to Denver.  Thanks again belle!
244785,31658150,2015-05-08,2625023,Julien,"Didn't have the chance to meet Belle.
lovely neighborhood not far from downtown, very quiet and nature area.
very nice little house perfect fort 2 to 4 people"
244785,31730865,2015-05-09,23547528,Amanda,"Belle greeted us at the gate when we arrived, she was very kind and showed us to the guest house. The house was clean and smelled so fresh. The bed was VERY comfortable, it was hard getting up in the morning! I would gladly come stay with Belle again! "
244785,31808480,2015-05-10,12146212,Edith,"The Aerie is airy, bright and clean. We loved that the AC was already running, so the house was comfortable. Belle greeted us at the garden gate and showed us to the guest house. The neighborhood is very quiet and easy to find. There is a nice supply of books about Austin and maps of the area. We enjoyed waking to the sound of Belle's clucking hens and finding a dozen eggs on the doorstep! We will certainly be back the next time we visit our family in Austin. "
244785,31956879,2015-05-12,2744540,Ann,"It is hard to describe just how amazing my experience with Belle was. Hands down, the best AirBNB I have ever stayed at and the best host ever. First-- the host: Belle was WONDERFUL. Accommodating, friendly, very attentive, and overall just good vibes. I wish we had stayed longer just so I could have more interactions with her. Second-- the space: AMAZING. Clean, airy, well-lit, well-built, incredible. I could live there happily for years. Wherever Belle goes, I would absolutely be willing to stay with her again. Arrival went smoothly, departure went smoothly as well. Her dog Sparky is the cutest, her hens are adorable, and the cat-- Cactus Jack-- was also very friendly. Everything about this stay was fantastic."
244785,32051967,2015-05-13,28237349,Emma,Belle greeted us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the place. It was very clean and roomy in a very nice neighborhood. 
244785,32220653,2015-05-15,32445489,Colton,"We had a great stay at the aerie guesthouse! It was a last minute reservation and Belle was extremely helpful and friendly. I wish that we had found it earlier and stayed for a few extra days. Great house, amazing host, it was an incredible first airbnb experience."
244785,32476584,2015-05-18,19054368,Laura,"Belle is great, and gave us some good tips on finding thrift stores. The neighborhood is quiet and leafy, and perfect for walking around at night. The guest house is lovely. Two beds on separate levels make it great for two people who each want their own space. Great central location. We'll definitely stay there again!"
244785,32687636,2015-05-20,1308103,Elia,"What a great experience. The guest house was very cute and clean, and the pretty backyard with a chicken coop really made it a unique experience. Belle was a good host but I didn't see much of her. I would definitely recommend this space!"
244785,32814445,2015-05-22,4955650,Maddie,"I loved my stay at Belle's guest house! It was private, quaint, and clean. Belle has a lovely yard with trees, animals, and a bird feeder. The home was perfect for just me, but would have comfortably fit 1-2 more. I was happy to have a rental car to get around, but there are definitely a few nice cafes within walking distance. Thanks for hosting my first trip to Austin!"
244785,32879357,2015-05-23,1632364,Nick,Great little place with a nice yard
244785,37919637,2015-07-11,21094748,Aaryn,I really enjoyed my time here. The host was super responsive and the location was exactly what I was looking for! It was very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely stay here again! 
244785,38948965,2015-07-19,15781195,Kristina,"The cedar-walled guest house was beautiful! While Gwen and Richard were away and we did not have the opportunity to meet them, Ann (House manager) was very helpful and made it easy for us to get into the guest house.
My mom and I stayed here and it was absolutely enough room for both of us. The futon and bed were both very comfortable, and the A/C was GREAT for the hot Austin days.

Although it's not a tree house, it felt like one as you looked out over the tree tops in the upper room.  The chickens are quiet but fun to ""talk to"" over your morning coffee (which was provided - along with oatmeal- by Gwen & Richard). Loved it!"
244785,39257688,2015-07-21,1461362,Dan & Lisa,We had a wonderful stay in Gwen & Richard's super cozy & cute place!!  GREAT location - lovely place - had everything we needed!! Don't hesitate!!  
244785,39847877,2015-07-26,38606160,Amanda,"We really enjoyed our stay at this guest house! Everything was clean, Austin-chic, and the cedar work in the house is amazing! The location is seriously great. "
244785,40819036,2015-08-02,13135777,Dorothy,"I loved staying at Gwen & Richard's place!  I was visiting Austin with a friend for the weekend, and their place was a very good size for two people and definitely would have been comfortable for four.  I communicated with their house manager, Ann, a few times before our visit, and she was very helpful and answered all my questions very quickly.  Ann told us in advance that she would not be able to meet us upon arrival, and she gave us very clear directions about how to find and enter the house.  We absolutely loved the space, especially the bedroom loft and the little details like the square shelves in the walls.  I decided to sleep on the couch on the first floor so my friend and I didn't have to share a bed- it was SO comfortable, and I slept extremely well. We also really liked the neighborhood- very easy to get around Austin, and within a few minutes of some restaurants, bars, and great coffee shops.  I would absolutely recommend staying here and would return again next time I'm in Austin. "
244785,41028499,2015-08-03,33144777,Bridget,"Our time at the house was brief but enjoyable. The shower is small but everything was perfect and cozy! The outdoor area and natural lighting in the upstairs bedroom are beautiful, and there were no problems with the chickens in the morning. Ann the house manager came by and was very nice."
244785,42198441,2015-08-11,6925160,Asa,"I lived in Austin for the last decade, until recently moving away. I try to  stay on the East Side during my stays, as its my old stomping grounds. But every time I come back - I've always got a little hidden dread that this will be the time it will be unrecognizable. 

Richard is the kind of host that relieves that worry. He's got a beautiful home and a wonderful garden. He was watering the garden as I arrived, and was very gracious in his greeting. Within 5 minutes of arrival he was chasing his chickens back into his coop. It felt like home, exactly like you'd want it to. 

The guest house is great  - its well laid out, comfortable, and welcoming. The only minor issue I had is that the shower area can feel a bit cramped. But for the overall value of this place, its not really a consideration. 

I highly recommend this property and would gladly stay again. "
244785,42912317,2015-08-16,13902616,Jeremy,"This cozy apartment was the perfect place for us traveling through Austin! Ginger the dog greeted us sweetly and Richard was a wonderful host! The house is super comfortable, close to all you want to see in Austin and has a truck load of charm! We will definitely be back!"
244785,43970096,2015-08-23,26335276,Nohe,"We had a wonderful week at the Aerie Guesthouse.  Richard was so welcoming and kind.  As soon as we arrived, he gave us a short tour of the house, left his contact information, and shared his favorite places around the neighborhood.  Throughout the week, we got great recommendations for the rest of Austin.  The Aerie Guesthouse is comfortable, relaxing and beautifully crafted in a pretty, homey, quiet neighborhood, walkable to Manor St (great bars and food).  It's a nice getaway from the city we frequented throughout the day.  Great place for couples to relax, and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to recuperate after a long day.  "
244785,44452646,2015-08-26,29343946,Sheena,This was perfect for our Austin trip! We felt as if we woke up in a tree house each morning. Great location-- far enough away from the madness and close enough to the fun. The yard was great for our dogs. Richard was awesome and was very helpful in suggesting Austin sights and sounds. He tipped us off to an ACL show we LOVED. We're so grateful for our stay at this awesome place!!
244785,44997982,2015-08-30,17006316,Savannah And Becky,"We absolutely LOVED this space! Everything was perfect, and Richard went out of his way to welcome us. We received great tips on local eateries and activities as well. We look forward to visiting again!"
244785,45994480,2015-09-07,40905762,Mindi,Richard was a great Host very friendly & helpful ! Came to Austin for Labor Day weekend with some girlfriends and we had a blast . Great location very tranquil & close  to downtown with out the downtown noise. Would definitely recommend to others. 
244785,47121118,2015-09-15,18287106,Emmanuelle,"My boyfriend, dog and I loved our stay at Richard and Gwen's. The neighborhood was very quiet and was within walking distance of tons of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. Richard gave us plenty of recommendations for food and live music. The house was very easy to find and there was a lot of street parking. We will definitely stay here again. "
244785,47726792,2015-09-21,645276,Edward,Great place. Perfect for a football weekend. As promised. Within striking distance of everything with Uber.
244785,47902683,2015-09-21,16440344,Orion,"Great hosts, awesome cottage. Very quiet and relaxing. "
244785,49302350,2015-10-02,45462875,Guigo,"The listing was accurate! The guest house is super nice, and quiet. Close to downtown, but still secluded enough to get some rest. Although, it was very hot upon arrival, so be sure to turn on the AC pronto. "
244785,50006507,2015-10-08,30562570,Nick & Kat,"With such great reviews we were excited to be staying in such an awesome place. It wasn't as awesome as we had hoped. We tried to keep them updated on our arrival but were not responded to until we got there and were met by no one and a room still unclean from the last guest. They didn't know we were coming that day. We made calls and were finally told, with much apology, to come back in an hour. Upon return we unpacked and relaxed. The space was nice and pleasant. The occasional airplane, but quiet. When we did try to take a shower, we found dirty, hairy used soap and a hodgepodge of other shampoos half empty. An AC leak left a puddle on the floor under our bed, which I managed to step in. We let Richard know about all this the next day and he felt very sorry. The next day he was proactive about fixing the AC, but the shower situation remained unanswered. Richard was generous enough to refund some of our stay, given the circumstances. He was very helpful about where to see some great music and cool bars in town. Austin is a wonderful place and we were lucky enough to see so much of it. "
244785,50298809,2015-10-11,32761170,Joe,"Great, clean place. Good location in a quiet area. "
244785,50765473,2015-10-14,822389,Amy,"We loved staying at Richard's. The space was clean and comfortable, and exactly what we were after. Richard was a lovely host with plenty of insider tips for enjoying Austin."
244785,51122252,2015-10-18,1851297,Laura,"Richard was very welcoming and we had a great time staying in the Guest House/Casita. It was clean, centrally located and had everything we needed. "
244785,51895688,2015-10-25,40969991,Emily,"Richard was an amazing host - very accommodating and full of great information on local music, food and various activities.  Unfortunately we were only there for a short time, but the time we spent was highly enjoyable.  The chickens were the icing on the cake and gave the location a very ""homey"" and unique feel!  The pictures are well representative of what the home looks like and although it is small, we had a GREAT time sharing it with our friends.  Sorry we brought the rain (or maybe that was due to Hurricane Patricia), but we still managed to have sopping wet fun!!  Thanks Richard and thanks to Ann, as well, for being so responsive and checking in with us often!!  We hope to be back sometime!!  Maybe the Wildcats will win next time!
Emily and Brad (and Chris and Kristy)"
244785,52066669,2015-10-26,43084461,Daniel,"A beautiful guest house nestled in a trendy Austin neighborhood. It's even next to a (quiet) urban chicken coop. Delicious restaurants and bars are within a reasonable walking distance and the neighborhood felt safe. Downtown is a min fare uber ride away! When I come back to Austin, I will make sure to stay here again. "
244785,52693796,2015-11-01,2713655,Dallas,"The casita was lovely and convenient to downtown Austin and the East Side. The neighborhood is very walkable, and filled with great restaurants and coffee shops.

Richard was a gracious host. Thumbs up all around!"
508203,2195701,2012-09-04,3168308,Scott,"Great house, plenty of room for five people.  Very clean, location was great.  Hot tub was nice even in August.  Highly recommended!"
508203,2583972,2012-10-11,3704409,Tim,"Greggs, place is amazing. It is a beautiful modern home with all facilities plus more. Gregg is a great host, he was open to communication and very understanding. The house is positioned in an ideal position with an amazing deck space overlooking the bush. Was sad to leave this place."
508203,2912064,2012-11-19,2577277,Max,Very nice 3 bedroom home.  Worked out perfectly for the Formula 1 race this past weekend with respect to location to both the track and downtown area.  
508203,3599246,2013-02-22,4266085,Byron,"Great place.  We take a guys trip every year, and this house was absolutely perfect for the four of us.  Great location, very close to the highways and downtown.  Spotless upon entry, cool features like motion-sensor lights, and very comfortable living and dining areas.  Even when we weren't sure how to get the hot tub going, Gregg stopped when we were out for the day and fixed it himself - what a host!  Highly recommend this for adults - couples or groups of singles."
508203,3770566,2013-03-13,1339150,Alan,"Amazing home!!
Gregg whas a 10, the home was ver clean and great terrace."

508203,3998882,2013-04-02,3052078,Daniel Joshua,"Gregg's house is as as great as it looks in the photos. It's very spacious, well appointed and super quiet.  It was wonderful waking up in the morning and going downstairs to the comfortable living/dining room/kitchen area with it's very private and woodsy backyard.  You don't feel like you're in a city at all.
Gregg is a very considerate host.  He's thought of everything. The house is also the best electronically and digitally equipped house I've ever stayed in."
508203,4677635,2013-05-20,1967764,Erin,Gregg was the most accommodating host. His recommendation on activities and resturants was fantastic. We look forward to staying there again when we travel to Austin.
508203,5881451,2013-07-21,5507724,Mario,"Para nosotros fue un placer y una Gran experiencia quedarnos en la casa de Gregg, tiene espacios cómodos y su terraza es un lugar increíble para disfrutar en el día o en la noche y seguro tendrás la oportunidad de ver venados que se acercan a la propiedad, simplemente una gran experiencia que seguramente repetiremos."
508203,7973068,2013-10-10,966666,Cristian,"Great place in a great location. For the most part couldn't have been better, with one small exception. A new hot water heater acted erratically during our stay. Gregg was proactive working to try and get it fixed and I trust it won't be an issue for future guests. I would most definitely stay here again."
508203,8484760,2013-11-02,2860143,Jimmy,"I went with a few of my friends, It was their first time in Austin. They loved the location and the ""bachelor pad"" feel. They said it was super spacious, clean and a perfect spot to explore the city. I would absolutely recommend Gregg's place because of his promptness in responses and his ability to accommodate my requests."
508203,8696036,2013-11-12,3219186,Jodi,Gregg was a great host and the house was clean and cozy. Austin is a lot of fun and we definitely want to come back. We made good use of the hot tub and awesome deck. Thanks for being such a laid back and responsive host!
508203,8811335,2013-11-19,1772389,Michael,"Gregg was a great host.  He called to make sure we got to the home and had everything we needed. Also, he had some recommended restaurants and tips which helped out a lot.  The location of the place was great for us.  It was easy to get to from the airport and was minutes from downtown.   We had no problems finding the place and getting around Austin.  Thanks Gregg!"
508203,9262152,2013-12-16,10575079,Jay,"My friends and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Gregg for providing us with all we needed and his house. I was personally impressed by ease of access to everything we needed and his promptness. Overall, our stay their was awesome and we felt at home given the amenities available were beyond par.

508203,9498615,2013-12-31,2566674,Maura,The house was clean and it's very spacious. There is a beautiful little creek right outside the backdoor and a nice hot tub. We had an issue with one of the showers but Gregg was pretty responsive. 
508203,9949965,2014-01-21,1272516,Laryssa,"Greggs house is a wonderful place for a get together with a bunch of people. The living room area is large and spacious, the hot tub is superb and open kitchen is great. Highly recommend Greggs house for some good fun!"
508203,10037055,2014-01-27,10655806,Tabitha,Our stay was perfect!  This was an amazing place to stay!  The beds are pretty comfy and the couches were pretty comfy too!  Getting downtown vie the bus was super easy and inexpensive.  The hot tub was the best way to wind down from a night of adventuring in Austin.  11/10
508203,10422478,2014-02-18,9974968,Margaret,We stayed at Gregg's house for a bachelorette weekend and were very happy with our stay. The house had everything that we needed for five people and the deck and backyard were where we spent most of our time. Gregg was a very accommodating host and I would recommend for your Austin stay! 
508203,10549095,2014-02-24,12054222,Holly,"We recently stayed at Gregg's house for a girls weekend getaway. Everything was absolutely perfect and the house had everything we needed. Gregg was even nice enough to welcome us with the stereo playing and fun sunglasses left out on the counter. The beds were comfortable and the house was exactly as described. We had some confusion in regards to the shower (hot water takes a bit the first time it's turned on), but all in all a great experience and we will definitely look to stay here again in the future! Thanks again Gregg!"
508203,10721002,2014-03-04,11555647,Ann,"Gregg's place was clean and very spacious. He was easily reached for any questions we had. When we arrived he was out in the back making sure hot tub was freshly cleaned and working properly. Great deck, he even left wood for the fire pit. This was our first time renting a house that was not strictly a vacation house and we will do it again. Very close to airport and down town. Beautifully decorated. 
He even left a cake for our anniversary in the fridge!!"
508203,10899554,2014-03-12,3528352,Lia,An oasis in Austin!!! I stayed with a my colleagues for almost a week... It was a treat. Gregg went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Thanks you! And hope our paths cross;)
508203,11043577,2014-03-18,9681658,Jonathan,Very nice place just a couple miles southeast of downtown Austin.  It was a great homebase for us during the SXSW festival.  The house has nice amenities and the owner was always available to answer any questions.  The bus system runs near the house and made it easy to get around town. Overall a fantastic experience.  
508203,11168402,2014-03-24,7149413,Michele,"We had the pleasure of staying at Gregg's beautiful home for a long weekend. It was the perfect amount of space for a group of 7 women celebrating a bachelorette. I was impressed by Gregg's accessibility before the stay. He responded to questions via email quickly and was accommodating when I wanted to check out the space before our stay.

I was super pleased with the space when I first saw it on my own. The pictures are definitely accurate but at the same time do not do the space justice! For example the deck and backyard space are much larger than I anticipated (which was a very good thing!) 

When the guests finally arrived I immediately heard things like  wow!, this place is huge!, it's so clean!, it's so modern!, Michele you outdid yourself! he left us a bag of cool sunglasses!, and if course THERE IS A HOT TUB?! Needless to say everyone else was impressed too. 

Our actual stay was amazing. The house is modern and stylish but also has a lot of character. Gregg obviously takes care of his home.  The beds were very very comfortable and those that slept on the couch reported that they were very plush and comfortable too. We made breakfast one morning and the kitchen was large enough for everyone to help out without feeling cramped or on top of each other. One out of town guest commented on how the shower pressure was the best she had experienced in a long time. 

Overall, Gregg's home was the best choice I could have made to host my best friend's bachelorette party. I would love to rent this place again for a short staycation with some of my friends in Austin. Thanks for everything Gregg!

508203,11588767,2014-04-08,209430,Shane,Great guy and house!
508203,12054421,2014-04-22,12198934,Carol,"Gregg was a great host. He was always available over the phone and let me know that I could always contact him for any questions, recommendations, etc.. The instructions were clear, so I wasn't confused at all about the process. The house is beautiful and is exactly what the pictures portray--and fits 10 adults perfectly. Also, the deck is an extra-special add-on, since we were able to eat meals outside and enjoy the weather. I'd be pleased to have the opportunity to stay at Gregg's house again."
508203,12629964,2014-05-06,4464502,Chelsea,"Gregg's house was the PERFECT base of operations for our trip to Austin Psych Fest. The house is exceptionally well outfitted, with comfortable places to sleep for all 8 of us. We definitely took advantage of his kitchen and cooking goods as we cooked a few meals for the crew, and we found everything we could have possibly needed. Great space for a group of folks to hang out together or separately. The best part about this house (other than the comfortable mattresses and the excellent showers with great water pressure and plenty of hot water) is definitely the outside area. The deck is a killer spot to hang, and the hot tub provided welcome relaxation and relief after 8+ hours of being on our feet watching bands. If we hadn't been so tired of listening to music, I'm sure we would have enjoyed the outside speakers while hanging out in the hot tub. 

Gregg is super easy to work with, and check in couldn't be easier. Highly recommended for your group of folks. The only problem is that we couldn't stay longer. :)"
508203,13408143,2014-05-27,12987227,Trish,"My girlfriends and I had a fantastic stay at Gregg's house! It was exactly what we expected from what we saw in the pictures and then some. We had six girls stay very comfortably for the weekend. 

The location is great-- just 10 minutes (give or take) from South Congress and downtown/Sixth Street; a cheap cab ride for sure. There's a Starbucks and a few fast food options close by. Ample parking, in spite of not being able to use the driveway/garage, and felt safe to leave our cars out there too.

Wonderful accommodations! Gregg is amazingly organized so it was very easy to find those little things you forget when going on a trip. The deck is SO beautiful and looks out into a gorgeous woodsy area, which was great for us to have meals and girl talk on. We didn't dip into the hot tub but we checked it out and it looked awesome. Incredibly comfortable beds and couches; no one seemed to have a bad nights rest. Quiet neighborhood overall from what we experienced. 

All in all, it was a fantastic way to kick off my use of Airbnb. Gregg communicated great and I wasn't at all nervous for our arrival and having everything go well. I highly recommend!! 

"
508203,13945924,2014-06-09,11756049,Chris,"Gregg was an awesome host. His house was super clean and ready when we arrived. Gregg left us welcome snacks...doesn't sound like much but when you have been in the car for hours a small snack when you arrive is priceless. Thank you, Gregg.

The house had coffee cups for our use and cokes if we needed. The back deck was awesome in the evenings. Hot tub was great even though we didn't use it that much (the Texas heat is already here). Overall the stay was a 10 out of 10. We would stay their again the next time we come to Austin. Gregg your house is great and you're even a better host. Very much appreciated.  

- Chris "
508203,14203695,2014-06-14,11283091,Tammy,"Gregg was a great host. House was great inside and very large. We had more than enough room for our small family. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Beds were very comfy and the mats that were available were great for my 3 year old to nap on and still be close. The laundry set up was wonderful and I loved the W/D. Didn't get to take advantage of the hot tub (unfortunately) and we didn't use the patio area but it looked inviting. 

Everywhere was very accommodating for visitors except the master bed and bath storage/closets. However, there is lots of storage in the other bedroom. Location was super convenient to downtown and cost was very fair. We were very pleased and appreciative of Gregg's hospitality."
508203,15058824,2014-07-01,16071995,Rachana,"Gregg was a great host. Kept in touch, left simple instructions (my first time air bnb'ing), and had plenty of recommendations. As for the place itself, it was also great. As nice as it looked in the photos. Really easy parking and  perfectly located between the airport and downtown. My group had a blast. Thanks Gregg."
508203,16929468,2014-08-04,6443529,Van,We had 9 guests for a weekend at Gregg's.  His home had plenty of space and the description was on point.  We will definitely be renting his home again next time in Austin.
508203,17415537,2014-08-11,7093874,Ross,Gregg's house was amazing. Easily fit 8 people inside of it. He was quick to respond to my inquiries. And his house is super modern and cool looking. No complaints at all.
508203,17832253,2014-08-18,16621665,Chris,"There were 7 of us in town for a fantasy football draft which required a good wifi connection and a house big enough to sleep and drink beers. This place was as advertised! The house makes excellent use of its space and felt enormous. The 7 of us slept awesome in the 3 beds, several floor pads and sofas. The wifi was awesome and the 6 of us using our laptops for the draft had zero connectivity issues. The cupboards were full of cups and goodies that we were able to use and my coffee drinking buddies LOVED the Kuerig. The only issue was that the AC was left on all day one day and had to be shut off to cool down but ran fine at a higher set temperature after that. Also, it was 5 minutes from the airport and pretty close to South Congress/downtown (even in Austin traffic). Greg was easy to reach by cell phone even at 10:30 at night when we discovered the AC issue.  If you're looking for affordability and comfort, this is the place for you!"
508203,18891227,2014-09-02,18802513,Greg,"Gregg had a very nice place which was a quick uber to town.  Overall accommodations were great, large deck area and common space was a definite plus!  The city of Austin with the help of some of Gregg's recommendations was amazing.  Looking forward to coming back as soon as we can.

Thanks,
Greg

The jacuzzi  was amazing! Gregg was very acomodating and responsive. Definitely would recommend! "
508203,20004741,2014-09-22,14695841,Daniel,Great experience for my first time airbnb.  Group of friends and I came into town for the Lone Star Le Mans race at Circuit of the Americas and had a blast.  Only 20 min from the track and close to good eats.  Very comfortable clean modern house with lots of room to stretch out and relax.  Awesome TV to kick back and relax.  Smooth communication with owner.  Nice and quiet location.  Dark rooms for peaceful sleeping.  Plenty of linens and towels.  Will definitely consider Greg's house for another Austin visit
508203,20892736,2014-10-07,2199783,Maria,"My group and I stayed for ACL weekend one and had a fantastic experience staying at Gregg's place. The layout of the house is perfect, and we all especially loved the large deck and the hot tub. Gregg made us feel welcome prior to the visit and during our stay. He is very accommodating and provided us with a full list of area attractions as well as specifics about the house itself. 

The house is very convenient to downtown, yet is located in a quiet neighborhood. I would stay here again and really appreciated the location, amenities, and Gregg's hospitality. Everyone stay at Gregg's place=)."
508203,21274759,2014-10-14,12034661,Tyler,Gregg was an amazing host. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome on several fronts. We came in to Austin for our friends wedding and felt right at home at his comfortable and spacious house. The showers and beds were amazing as was everything else. The neighborhood is safe and is located at a central part of Austin so its easy to get down town as well as to the airport. 
508203,21595437,2014-10-20,21154034,Jim,House and accommodations were exceptional. House is modern and clean. Gregg has anticipated all the needs of renters. We had a party of eight and were very comfortable. All appliances are modern. Layout is wonderful allowing all our party  to be in the same area. Outdoor deck was secluded from neighborhood overlooking wooded area. Easy access to downtown Austin area. Would not think twice about renting again. 
508203,21967888,2014-10-27,21938388,Jesse,Wonderful experience! The house was incredibly clean and had great amenities. Gregg was easy to communicate with and super helpful!
508203,22353002,2014-11-04,13832622,Kevin,Gregg's house was perfect for the 4 of us and we had room if another couple wanted to stay. Really spacious and living room really comfortable. He was incredibly accommodating and left us a great list of things to do nearby and easy instructions around the area and the home for whatever we needed. House has a nice big deck and everything inside is well maintained. Would definitely stay here again. 
508203,22578082,2014-11-10,8688391,Audrey,Stayed here with a group of 10 girls for a bachelorette weekend. Greg's house was absolutely perfect. Plenty of space for every one to be together and hang out. Everything was very clean & modern. His beds were comfortable and shower water pressure was phenomenal. We never ran out of hot water even with 10 girls. We spent an entire night out on the deck by the fire pit & relaxing in the hot tub. Every one was impressed. It gives that cabin getaway feel with his quiet neighborhood and surrounding woods. The location is great and a short 10 minute car ride to downtown. Another plus was his sound system- easily connectable to bluetooth. Greg made us feel super welcomed the entire weekend. Even called to apologize about a short wifi mishap and to help us out with the fire pit. His friend made us some home cooked dessert as well. He is so generous and a great host! Would definitely recommend every one to stay here. It doesn't get much better than this. 
508203,22884893,2014-11-17,17573609,Cory,"Gregg's place made our Austin stay a dream! We were a group of 9 dancers from around the country taking an intense workshop and the house was a wonderful relaxing retreat at the end of the day - the hot tub and deck are fantastic, the beds are comfy, the showers and bathrooms perfect and the amenities were vast - everything we needed was there and Gregg made it so easy. We are so happy with our experience and would definitely recommend this listing especially for groups."
508203,23766402,2014-12-09,24121403,Scott,"Gregg's house was awesome. The place was very clean, spacious and comfortable and has all the amenities you could ask for. The location is great, quiet neighborhood but very close to downtown. Gregg was easy to communicate with and we would absolutely stay again. "
508203,24207123,2014-12-22,24736040,Deuanta,Great place ...
508203,24580471,2014-12-31,5131385,Linda,"Gregg’s place was perfect for our family gathering.  The house is well designed with space for privacy and plenty of room to spread out if that is what you want.  At the same time, the kitchen-dining-living area easily accommodates up to 10 people. Gregg was an extremely gracious host – available and anticipating our needs, even leaving a roasting pan and some holiday decorations to add to the festive spirit.  We would definitely stay again. "
508203,24854758,2015-01-03,10972381,Kris And Al,"This listing is as good as advertised.  The house is beautiful and very accommodating, and the location is a quick drive to downtown: very well suited for a family or group of friends.  Gregg provided great recommendations for activities in Austin, and clear instructions for the house (including hot tub and kitchen).  We loved our experience, and would love to stay here again next time we visit Austin."
508203,25357378,2015-01-13,3439904,Amy,"We found Gregg's place to be warm & inviting, thoughtfully appointed and very livable for our group of 6.  Both the public and private spaces are generous.  Gregg himself was available and responsive to our heating issue.  The location was perfect - very quiet and private, as well as convenient to all areas of Austin.  Beautiful views throughout the house.
Thanks for a great base of operations for Cyclocross Nationals!"
508203,25613499,2015-01-20,25867693,Alex,"Our party of 8 stayed at Gregg's place for MLK weekend. The description is very accurate and the instructions that Gregg provides are very thorough so that guests do not need to worry about any sort of lodging issues! 

We had a slight issue with the heater upon our arrival, however once we notified Gregg, we immediately received a call back and he took us through a quick solution to the problem. The malfunction did not detract from the experience, as the matter was handled swiftly and permanently. 

All in all, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would not hesitate to book this space again for a future vacation!"
508203,25807036,2015-01-26,25436704,Robert,Gregg's place was perfect for our stay. We had a group of ten stay and had no issues with space or sleeping arrangements. Great location for any city activities while still having a calm suburban feel. Definitely would stay here again.
508203,26094485,2015-02-03,21937389,Austin,"We had a great time staying at Gregg's place for the Super Bowl weekend.  Gregg was a very cool host, and offered his help with anything we might need.  He also provided a very detailed list of not only the house, but the surrounding neighborhood, and the downtown area.  

The house itself was beautiful.  Everything was just as described and looked just like the pictures.  The big back deck with the hot tub and fire pit was the highlight for our group.  

The neighborhood was in a perfect location, as we were able enjoy the feeling of seclusion at the house, but also take a short cab ride to Downtown Austin."
508203,26673189,2015-02-17,23272778,Mary,"Staying at Gregg's place was absolutely a perfect paradise for us on our vacation.  From the minute we walked into the house - we felt at home.  I really appreciated that he had left lights on each room of the house - we arrived late and it was so nice to have the dimmed lights on.   There are so many things to LOVE about his home - the deck, the hot tub, all the lights that dim, lighted headboard, wooded area behind house, fire pit, wonderful big closet,  large walk in shower and so much more.  He emailed us right after we booked and gave us great information to help plan our trip.  He leaves great instructions for the home and kept in contact with us and answered any questions.  This was our first vacation home - and we can't wait to do this again - no more hotels for us - this home made our vacation fairytale. We felt like we were on vacation just spending time at the lovely home - we didn't feel like we had to be out and about to be on vacation.  What a wonderful relaxing vacation - Gregg is a wonderful host.   The neighborhood was nice and it was great to not have neighbors behind the house - we had deer out there one morning. "
508203,26979605,2015-02-23,25136397,Erin,"Gregg was super welcoming and provided LOTS of information about his home and the area in a welcome packet once we arrived. All the girls raved about his attention to detail & how perfect everything was. Gregg's space was great for our bachelorette party. Our party of 10 had plenty of space to move around and places to sleep (including the couches and some ""crash pads"" for the floor). As promised, Gregg had plenty of sheets, towels, toiletries, and miscellaneous kitchen supplies  that were easy to find and utilize. He also had extra fold out chairs in the kitchen so everyone could sit around the kitchen table. The main thing we really missed were mirrors anywhere outside the bathroom for when all 10 girls were trying to get ready at once. We were so proud at how we had staggered the showers (which, btw, were great), but then everyone got jammed up in the bathroom trying to use the mirrors. The only other thing I could have used was a whisk or a mixer to bake a cake, but we made it work and it still turned out fine. Gregg's back deck has a very relaxed, remote feel even though his home is so close to the city. The fire pit and hot tub are nice extras for a fun getaway. The home is easily accessible to downtown, the Austin airport, and HEB for a quick grocery run. Even though I was a little unsure about the safety of the area having lived in Austin, I was surprised to find Gregg's neighborhood was quiet and secluded and I had no concerns when I was there. I think all the girls would be totally happy going back to Gregg's place for a weekend stay in Austin. We were very pleased customers!"
508203,27394634,2015-03-03,21090606,Christopher,"Gregg's house is perfect.  The description is accurate, and the house is great for a group of people with 2 full bathrooms and 3 bedrooms.  The hot tub is wonderful and private with trees between you and any neighbors.  The neighborhood is safe and easily accessible to all parts of Austin.  Gregg was also very communicative and emailed me back within minutes when I had a question.  A+ and definitely would recommend to others."
508203,27869700,2015-03-14,13502940,Carissa,"Gregg's place was great! My co-workers and I stayed here for SXSWedu. It was only a 10-minute drive to the convention center. It was easy to get downtown with a rental car, and it was nice to stay in a neighborhood and come home to chill in the hot tub every night. "
508203,28693191,2015-03-29,12192769,Cindy,"Gregg was so wonderful.  He picked us up at the airport and gave us a tour of his home.  We felt comfortable and taken care of.  He also told us about a place to listen to music at Saxon Pub.  Very cool place.

Austin is a fabulous city and you will not be disappointed staying at Gregg's place he is the perfect host."
508203,29269933,2015-04-06,27109581,Wangari,"Gregg provided us with comprehensive information of how to work all the high tech stuff in his home, which my teens loved.  The house was very clean and we left it so.  The location of the home is central enough to get around Austin.  We ""ubered"" our way around and went to some great restaurants."
508203,29905746,2015-04-14,10036310,Ravi,"Yes, the house and interior decorations were just as described and we loved the place and the comforts it offered. Gregg had been very thoughtful in clearly providing instructions for the use of house utilities and it helped us in settling down at the place very quickly for a week of enjoyment of Austin and its surroundings. Overall, the house was clean, well provided and comfortable. Its location and parking facilities were wonderful. All in all, a great place to stay in Austin and we'd love to stay again for a longer duration next time. "
508203,30279520,2015-04-20,25261004,Dave,"Host could not have been better, was timely with all responses to questions prior to visit.  The house was exactly as described, very comfortable with all the amenities.  Very comfortable beds.  Quiet neighborhood in a part of town I would not have found on my own, great location close to downtown but off on its own. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in Austin!"
508203,30920078,2015-04-29,271695,Marla,"The house is unassuming from the front but inside it's exactly as represented in the photos. Very comfortable and a great place to relax, especially on the back patio. It feels like you're in the middle of the forest! We had a fabulous time and Gregg was a great host, making himself available if we ever needed anything."
508203,31929838,2015-05-12,24451503,Dave,"The listing for his house very accurately represented what we found.  The house was comfortable, and access to downtown was quick and easy.  The house was clean and well furnished. We did not use the hot tub, but we found everything exactly as expected.  I am quite comfortable recommending this house to groups staying in Austin.  "

508203,33917655,2015-06-02,27217976,Sarah,"
This house was just as described and was perfect for our bachelorette group.  There was plenty of room for us to sleep, eat and socialize. We loved the decorations and the place really felt like home! The hot tub and deck out back were a lovely addition. The location was super close to the airport and a quick Uber downtown. 
Greg was awesome with answering questions, giving suggestions for Austin places to check out and helping with anything that came up. "
508203,34415544,2015-06-08,30022924,Edgar,I loved the location! Not having to fight the traffic on I-35. Very nice house that made me freel like I was at home! Will  definitely recommend this home to everyone!!!
508203,34937299,2015-06-14,1140087,Heidi,Gregg was a fantastic host! The dishwasher broke during our stay and he had it fixed immediately! He even brought shampoo over when he saw there wasn't any left in the bathroom! He was so sweet and generous! Thank you for giving my family a place to stay the week of my wedding! We are keeping you and your house in mind for next time and I will definitely recommend you to friends!
508203,36187214,2015-06-26,1319813,Amy,"Gregg's house was lovely. Well equipped, comfortable, with most everything you need. The open layout was fantastic for a small group get together. There are three large bedrooms and two baths, plus sleepable couches. We did not try the hot tub. The neighborhood is suburban, but not too far from things if you have a car (and I even took a bus a couple of times). The kitchen was stocked with a few basics (beer, spices, condiments, coffee, etc.) and that was nice. The beds were a bit on the soft side. A super time was had. Thank you Gregg!"
508203,37951968,2015-07-12,13031716,Sayuri,"We were in town for the 2015 US Taekwondo Nationals. Gregg’s place was perfect for our stay of 7 days, it is only a short 10 minute drive to downtown. The house is well designed with space for privacy and plenty of room to spread out for our party of 9.  Everything was as pictured and more.

Gregg is super easy to work with, and check in couldn't be easier. Highly recommended for your group of folks. We only wish we could have stayed longer. "
508203,39123155,2015-07-20,38611748,Aaron,Great and beautiful place to stay very close to downtown/6th st. And plenty of room for all your guests to sleep comfortably. Will definitely be calling gregg for a place to stay when i make a trip to austin in the future again.

Very clean, fully stocked. We really enjoyed this home. Fresh deck, clean sheets and towels. A wonderful experience all around. Had an issue with wifi and Gregg immediately contacted me back and fixed the issue. I really appreciated it. We had a large group and his home was perfect. I highly recommend this listing to anyone In the Austin area. "

508203,47085153,2015-09-15,24983367,Celia,"Upon arrival Gregg left us a packet of notes with details about the house and referrals of places to go in Austin. He had a lot to use around the house especially if you forgot something like body wash, he had it for our use. The neighborhood was a little different but the house made up for the area 100%. We were less than a hour from all the beautiful natural areas around ATX such as Hamilton Pool, & Lake Travis, not to mention 12 min away from 6 st. Thanks for the awesome stay Gregg! "
508203,47983778,2015-09-22,2139233,Leeann,"Gregg was a great host! He was prompt in his communications and answered questions/requests in a timely manner.

it was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway!"

4255787,20939068,2014-10-07,21481303,Wouter,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Ruby's place for a few days and it was great! First we rented another room in her house, but when we found out that we had forgotten to book an extra day, Ruby was great and helped out. We rented the smaller room for the last night. 
The place is very clean, there is a lot of space and everything was well organized. We arrived late and Ruby made sure we could get into the house.
The place is easy to find and within a few minutes you're on the highway to get around Austin.
Ruby and her husband are really nice people as well! Unfortunately we were very busy, so we didn't really have the time to spend time with them, but I hope we will get to spend a bit more time with them in the future, because next time we are going to Austin, we will definitely try to book with Ruby again!"
4255787,21400731,2014-10-16,285476,Karyn Lynn,"What a lovely, peaceful, clean, bright, comfortable home!! The kitties and I appreciated the welcoming and healing space in a wonderful green tree lined neighborhood. As hosts R&R and their sweet kitties give their guests plenty of privacy in a spacious truly private upstairs lay out, and friendly conversation in passing too. We were in the smaller room but anyone looking to book a small group or family getaway note that by combining Ruby's listings of both rooms which includes a small study, a    living room landing, and a unique Jack and Jill separate vanities and shared shower and toilet-- you will have the perfect space for a group holiday!! The backyard which is fenced and private with a patio set is perfect for sitting outside for a meal or restful rejuvenation. Parking on the street is easy and never a worry about finding a spot at any hour! Ohmygoodness extra bonus points for the best washer and dryer!! If you need to do laundry the washer and dryer have state of the art multiple sensor settings with front loading and happy chime playing end of cycle indicators. If you want easy proximity to all the excitement in Austin, but a quiet beautiful ""home"" base to return to this will be just the perfect private pleasant place to be!!"

4255787,25183803,2015-01-08,15692758,Mary,Great room ... Convenient  to get into downtown Austin and Ruby's homemade bread for the road was delicious! A beautiful city! 
4255787,25303358,2015-01-11,25857847,Sarinea,"This was my first AirBnB experience! I made our reservation  last minute through instant book, and I am SO thankful for that feature! Luckily, it wasn't an inconvenience to our hosts, Ruby & Rafael, who were both welcoming to my boyfriend and I. We all got along so well, making the experience better than I could've ever expected! We were fortunate enough to have the second level to ourselves (there are two rooms  available upstairs to AirBnB guests, with a shared bathroom). It never felt like we were invading our hosts' space, and they were respectful of ""our"" space while we were there. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom, and everything was clean and tidy. Oh, and their two cats are friendly and adorable! The only thing a potential guest might want to take into account is that the house is in the suburbs, about 20 minutes from campus and downtown. That wasn't a problem for us because we had a car (and being from LA, where we have to drive everywhere, we're used to it), but without one, I imagine a person would be a bit stuck."

Thanks a lot! 
 "
4255787,25620498,2015-01-20,995713,Nasir,Awesome hosts. Very friendly. The house is located in a good neighborhood and for the price its a steal. 
4255787,25982321,2015-01-31,9646651,Hetali,"Great place to stay! Easy to get to, very comfy, Ruby provided everything I needed. Was mostly in and out and could come and go with the spare key. Was exactly what I needed!"
4255787,26188429,2015-02-06,1534529,Jordan,"I loved staying with Ruby! She made me feel very welcome. The listing was true to description, and was very conveniently located near the Domain. So, if you're in town for work, I would definitely reccomend staying here. Thanks for another great AirBnb experience, Ruby!"
4255787,26393907,2015-02-11,3512143,Mindi,"Ruby & her husband are very welcoming hosts. They are located in a great safe neighborhood in North Austin. The room was exactly as pictured. This room is located in a upstairs wing separate from the hosts, and there is another AirBNB room in the wing so you may be sharing the wing/bathroom with other guests. "
4255787,27019183,2015-02-23,25132495,Giovanni,"Spent solid week at this spot and must say, the best experience so far. For the minimalist, this is the perfect location to refresh and relax. Upstairs has a nice daybed to read, chill and use the provided wifi. This is a VERY clean home. Ruby and Rafael are super cool host and accommodating. Plenty of street parking, easy access to highways. I would say some hotels/motels couldn't compete with this option and price. Thank you very much R&R! "
4255787,28305614,2015-03-22,26276011,Spec,"Ruby and her hubby were super nice and friendly to us. The house was gorgeous and clean! The neighborhood was quiet and provided a relaxing atmosphere that really made us feel we were on vacation while being just a short drive away from a nice mall (8 min) and from the city (20 min). We really enjoyed our stay :) As a first-time Airbnb'er, I would recommend this as an affordable and convenient option. "
4255787,29020799,2015-04-02,28591815,Krish,"Nice and clean room and as described.
Quiet , safe Neighbhorhood  and wonderful hosts.
Worked perfect for my schedule and commute. Thanks!!"
4255787,29232087,2015-04-05,29059616,Alex,Polite and friendly hostess. Location is not to far from Austin and is easily accessible. 
4255787,29642296,2015-04-10,26088330,Andrew,"Ruby and Rafael were friendly and accommodating, perfect room in a nice neighborhood. "
4255787,30031490,2015-04-16,16041926,Anne,"Ruby and her husband Rafael were super, super nice and welcoming!  Ruby was very available by text when I arrived in Austin and wanted to  touch base on my arrival time.  Though I could not fit it in my carry on for the trip home, Ruby also offers each guest a beautiful bath bomb!  Super cute and pretty:-)  Clean, cute, and comfy is a great way to describe the place.  The bedroom and bathroom were indeed very clean and neat.  Ruby and Rafael keep a very clean house in a very pretty neighborhood of Austin.  If you are taking public transportation to get around during your time in Austin, it is a nice and easy walk (1.3 miles) to the #1 bus that takes you right downtown!"
4255787,30330078,2015-04-20,19481015,Brenda,"What a wonderful experience!  Ruby & Rafael were wonderful & generous hosts.  From the moment I walked into their home I felt as though we were friends.  
The rooms are nicely set away from their living area on the second floor.  There is a sitting area there, allowing guests to rest in an open space, or enjoy the quiet of their room.
I was doing an art show at the Domain, which was just minutes from their North Austin home.  There was a Whole Foods store nearby and a great park, Walnut Creek Park, where my dog and I walked for hours on my day off.
Thank you both for your graciousness and warm spirits (and excellent butter coffee, my newest addiction).  I highly recommend this stay to anyone."
4255787,30594244,2015-04-24,3504892,Jerry,"This was my first time in Austin and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Ruby's place is AWESOME. Tons of privacy, VERY clean, and very charming. The towels were high quality which is a nice treat when traveling and the bed is super comfy! Ruby and her husband were fantastic hosts - very organized and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying here. I've stayed at many Airbnbs and Ruby's house is by far one of my favorites!"
4255787,30749161,2015-04-26,14485949,Ray & Mandy,Great location. Super chill hosts and a great space for the cost! 
4255787,31831641,2015-05-10,2428157,Kenny,"My wife and I stayed at Ruby's beautiful home in North Austin for about a week.  Their house was perfectly clean and well located a couple minutes from the Mopac.  The room was very comfortable with a nice bed and great pillows.  Ruby and Rafael were fantastic hosts, willing to work with our situation that included a couple pets and a desk top computer.  They are super easy to communicate with and fun to socialize with!  This was one of our favorite stays thus far on Airbnb and we would recommend to anyone. "
4255787,32219103,2015-05-15,14197415,Chi,"房东夫妇俩人超级随和，房东夫人居然自己手工制作了超级漂亮的花瓣皂送给女客人，惊喜极了 房间也干净又安静 非常满意
We really really enjoyed our stay in there house, which is very cozy and clean. The most surprise thing is I got a amazing hand-made soap as gift. Hope we can come back!"
4255787,34001569,2015-06-03,31907809,DinaK,"Dear Ruby,
many thanks for the lovely stay at your beautiful home!
Also for your great help at the beginning of my arrival and later on. It really helped make my life a lot easier!
Wishing you all the best always,"
4255787,36687242,2015-06-30,32158028,Kenji,"I had a great experience staying with Ruby and Rafael! They were great at communicating and responding to all my requests. Very clean, neat and quite home. Would definitely recommend for anyone to stay with them while here in Austin."
4255787,37823853,2015-07-10,16295000,Bryan,"We really enjoyed our stay at Ruby and Rafael's home.  Their home is very nice, and the neighborhood is very quiet, great for a short commute to work in North Austin.  They gave us a great sushi recommendation, and it did not disappoint!  Ruby even went above and beyond with a homemade bath bomb for my girlfriend Darlene.  Will be back soon!"
4255787,39019870,2015-07-20,34667610,Kelly,"Wow what a great first experience with AirBnB!! Ruby an Raf were great hosts. Always there to answer any questions, or refer great things to do. Their home was exactly as it was in the pics. If u need a place to stay in Austin Ruby's is where u need to look. Would definitely come back!!!!"
4255787,39880706,2015-07-26,36753698,Kevin,"Ruby made us feel welcome right when we arrived.  We were shown the house and room, all of which was very clean and neat.  During our stay, the other rooms were being rented out but we still had our privacy.  The best thing was the keyless entry which made it extremely easy to come and go as we please without worrying about a key!  Being so close to MoPac made it ease to hit every part of Austin with a short drive.  I would definitely recommend this listing! "
4255787,46326855,2015-09-09,28712699,Dianne,"     My stay with Ruby and Raphael was my first experience at an Airbnb, and it could not have been better.  Even though it was about 9:00 pm when I arrived in their nice, well maintained neighborhood, Ruby and Raphael were there to greet me and show me to my room. The room was exactly as described. It is upstairs in a spotless home.  Even though I knew my hosts were downstairs watching television, I couldn't hear anything from my room.  I felt like I was in an oasis, and was happy reading and unwinding from my day.
The bed was also very comfortable.
     Since I was there for 7 days, I had the opportunity to visit with Ruby and Raphael.  They are a very interesting young couple with unique life experiences.  They were very welcoming, and at the same time I knew I could have my privacy or come to them for information or help. I was also charmed by the bath fizzie Ruby left in my room along with the invitation to soak away my stress.  
     I think anyone who wants a very clean, safe and comfortable place to stay would enjoy staying with Ruby and Raphael.  They are the ideal hosts.
Dianne K."
4255787,47885865,2015-09-21,44202846,Tim,Ruby and Rafael were great.  The place is very clean with full of supplies. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the stay very much. 
4255787,48936390,2015-09-29,33504745,Erin,"The listing was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The property was in a very safe, quiet part of Austin that is also close to a lot of attractions, like the Domain that are a quick 5 minute drive away. They also waited up for me when I arrived at 10pm and made sure I got settled in, which was very much appreciated. It was a great experience overall, the one negative I would note is that Ruby and Rafael aren't really that open to socializing, as I expressed my interest in this the day I arrived and Rafael said they ""weren't hardly ever home,"" even though I learned through staying there that this wasn't the case. I wish they had expressed this on their profile, as they say they will tailor their interaction with guests based on the guests comfort level but this point sadly felt short. "
4255787,49651912,2015-10-05,43418378,Lui,"Had a very pleasant experience staying with Ruby and their family in North Austin. Was in town for a wedding and didn't realize it was the fist weekend of ACL fest, hence every hotel was priced way over our budget this led us to finding this gem of a listing. Access is controlled via keycode which was helpful since we came in pretty late every day. The house is located just north in Wells Branch by the impressive Domain, outdoor luxury shopping mall. The neighborhood is very quiet with ample parking. 

The house is very clean and quiet and we didn't run into them at all. There were two other rooms rented out and only once ran into the other visitors.

Since there is only one bathroom upstairs and ultimately 4 guests that only was a problem once when my partner had to use the restroom when someone else was using it. Otherwise had a great stay!"
4255787,50655165,2015-10-13,39932361,Aaron,Very welcoming host and the room was extremely comfortable! I would recommend for anyone traveling to visit the Austin area.
4255787,51680303,2015-10-22,46898164,Christelle,"My friend and I enjoyed the stay very much.
Ruby and Rafael were great. The place is clean and the room is large, comfortable and quiet ."

75957,200682,2011-03-16,52478,Kristin,"I just returned from this property and my first visit to Austin - what an amazing city! Kelly and family are extremely hospitable and made me feel very comfortable. I loved loved loved the apartment; it looks EXACTLY like the photos - clean, private, just a short ride from downtown and just perfect for a stay in this great city. I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay here again."
75957,217607,2011-04-04,255640,Dan Or Sheena,"Kelly was a great host providing us with some fruit, drink, and purified water on arrival. We try to stay in a different area each time we visit Austin and this pad is in an ideal location for seeing the city yet feeling like you are far enough away from the noise of the city. It is situated perfectly between the Whole Foods, lake trail, and some great food and coffee shops. You can't go wrong with this apartment."
75957,277841,2011-05-23,601786,Andrew,"Perfect place, perfect hosts, perfect stay.  My parents were looking for a quiet, comfortable rental in Tarrytown and we found it!  The cottage apartment was roomy for 2 and very clean as well. Kelly and her husband were so hospitable and easy to work with, especially since it was our first time using airbnb.  If it's available, my parents will be staying here again when they visit.  "
75957,293550,2011-06-01,288068,Aaron,Kelly was a great host.  She recommended an awesome Tex-Mex place down the street.  Her guest house is beautiful and inspiring.  It was the perfect place to land after a two day drive.  The neighborhood is worth mentioning too. Old West Austin feels safe and stable.
75957,308355,2011-06-11,605074,Gladys,"I had a peaceful respite at Kelly and Louie's cottage.  They were gracious and helpful hosts.  So kind and welcoming.  The cottage was perfect for Nana to host a sleepover with grandkids and to have some dedicated time with them, yet grab some quite time for me..  Great neighborhood with lots of old world charm.  Will visit again when I come to town to see family."
75957,354025,2011-07-05,405538,Jeanne,"Great place for family stay!  My husband and two boys (age 8 and 10) stayed over the weekend and it was perfect!  We slept on the bed and the kids slept on the fold-out sofa.  The apt was very clean and looked just as pictured!  What worked out well for us were all the amenities (kitchen, washer/dryer, dvd player, etc..) we found quite useful traveling with kids.  The back yard has a tree house and the home is located near a neighborhood pool.  We loved the neighborhood..quiet and safe.  Location was good...close to Barton Springs, downtown, and Congress.  No doubt this is the place we will go to any time we visit Austin!"
75957,367662,2011-07-11,787348,Ronnie,"What a wonderfully relaxing time in Austin.  Kelly and Louie were great hosts and have provided a beautiful place to stay.  The mattress was very comfortable and made sleeping-in very easy to do.  The cottage apartment was wonderfully decorated, neat and very clean.  Fresh flowers, bottled water and fruit were a welcome site upon arrival as we arrived at Austin later than expected.  The cottage is close to Zilker Park, and downtown.  We are very pleased we had the opportunity to stay here and experience the city from a vantage point other than a hotel room.  My wife and I would highly recommended staying with Kelly!"
75957,379148,2011-07-17,800812,Traci,"We had an awesome weekend at the Cottage! The space is welcoming, attractive, clean and very cool.  We had our six year old and his 11 year old cousin and we were all very comfortable.  The kids loved the tree house in the backyard.  Kelly was a wonderful hostess and led us to two of our favorite dining experiences of the weekend, Home Slice (delicious pizza) and Shady Grove (awesome concert). This was our first experience with airbnb and based on our outstanding stay at Kelly's we will definitely use airbnb for all of our travels in the future.  Thanks Kelly and I will be scouring the internet for that Fiest and Band of Horses concert posters. ;-)"
75957,455052,2011-08-18,330347,Adrienne,"Kelly and her family are absolutely lovely and we had a wonderful visit in their cottage. It is very clean and beautifully decorated with an elligant simple style with no clutter. It is a wonderful space to be in and a perfect central location. Kelly was always available and very thoughtful. The night of our arrival she offered to have the sofa bed ready for our kids since we would be late. We would certainly stay there again.
Adrienne"
75957,472105,2011-08-24,795637,Betta,"Kelly & her family were great hosts!
They made our 3 night stay very comfortable.
The cottage is adorable & equipped with everything you need.
It is also very quite & the view of all the old oak trees from the
windows are beautiful!
My 4year old nephew had a blast in the treehouse. 
I highly recommend this cozy cottage!"
75957,493284,2011-09-01,917227,Rachel,"This is a really great place to stay. Kelly was a wonderful hostess, and very accommodating. (In my eyes, anyone who will let my kiddo get his hands on a sprinkler is a winner.)

This was just the right size for four of us, with just the right amenities. We really enjoyed it, and will definitely come back when we return to Austin.

I should also mention, Austin has really developed a lot in the last few years, meaning it's difficult to get anywhere without hitting traffic. This place was in the perfect spot for us to get exactly where we needed to be (downtown/Barton Springs/etc.) without hitting any traffic jams!"
75957,503994,2011-09-05,1019459,Linda,"Lovely apartment - lovely host & hostess!   This little apartment was sparkling clean, quality bed to sleep on and extremely private and quiet.  Good quality linens on bed and in bathroom.  Not only would we stay with Kelly again, we would recommend this place highly to any of our friends.  Especially liked the Old West Austin/Tarrytown location.  Beautiful tree-lined streets that made walking in the morning such a pleasure.  Great value- great location- great hosts - just great!
Linda and Mark"
75957,518778,2011-09-10,1025318,Paul,"Staying at the cottage was very pleasant and located very close to the downtown/south Austin area we were visiting. Very private, clean, well stocked a great value for the price. "
75957,524013,2011-09-12,905370,Sarah,"My first visit to Austin and it was fabulous.  I loved the quaint little guest house, it was super convenient to most of Austin and our hosts were very nice as well.  This is where I'll be staying on all of my weekend trips to Austin now!"
75957,549299,2011-09-20,129903,Crissy,The Moseley's were absolutely great hosts with an absolutely beautiful cottage!  We hope they will have us back! There is no reason whatsoever I would not recommend their gem of a cottage! Thanks again!
75957,576059,2011-09-27,1177012,Michael,"Great accommodation in a great location close to downtown and all facilities, I would definitely recommend.

"
75957,619333,2011-10-11,1139870,Ellen,"This place was awesome!  Met Kelly and her husband Louie as they were leaving for the weekend so we were all alone.  The cottage was comfortable, super quiet and in a great location; close to everything.  I would say that there is a flight of stairs up to the cottage so if anyone has a mobility impairment, it may make it a little difficult.  Kelly left milk and coffee and an iron (necessary for a wedding!) and we had a wonderful time.  Would definitely stay here again!"
75957,648465,2011-10-20,840436,Fevronia,"Kelly's apartment was a welcome sight after an 8 hour journey! The apartment itself, isolated from the main house but still closeby, is set in a beautiful neighborhood which feels very safe! With new furnishings throughout the house, and with every appliance we could need, our stay was extremely pleasant. Kelly and Louie were brilliant hosts, readily available to answer our questions but allowed us to come and go as we pleased! We would stay here again if ever in Austin and would recommend it to anyone looking to explore the city. "
75957,657803,2011-10-24,1004553,Barbora,"This was a great place to stay in Austin.   We enjoyed the loft studio, the picturesque  neighborhood, proximity to various shopping and eating and our gracious host.  The space itself was delightful, tastefully furnished, clean, comfortable and welcoming.  Highly recommend it!"
75957,679125,2011-11-01,1154874,Caroline,"We arrived in Austin for a weekend wedding and were delighted with Kelly's lodgings. The place had everything we could possibly need and was spotlessly clean--better than a luxury hotel. The bed was comfortable (the pullout sofa probably less so--but our preschooler had no complaints), the decorations were tasteful, and we felt as if we were in a little private aerie. Kelly even helped us find a wonderful sitter so we could enjoy an evening out. I would stay there again without hesitation."
75957,699093,2011-11-07,629378,Jerry,"Cute, modern and Immculate appartment. Beautiful and safe neighborhood. Convenient to everything the ""Live Music Capitol of the World"" has to offer. Kelli and Louie are the perfect hosts. "
75957,718384,2011-11-14,1360441,Paul,"Wow!  That's the greatest compliment I could give.  I've stayed in some really nice hotels before, but I can honestly say that this was the BEST place I've stayed in.  Kelly was so accommodating and friendly that I'm sure she could very well open her own hotel and be very successful at it.  She had a stocked fridge, tools to cook with, supplies to clean with...I don't think I could have wanted or needed anything else. 

The pictures don't do this place justice.  I felt like I just stepped into an Ikea catalog and I love love love Ikea. I traveled with my partner's mom who can be very picky at times and she absolutely had nothing remotely negative to say about this place.  She felt safe, comfortable, and kept commenting on how great of a deal we got with this place.  

Now I know where to stay in Austin when I visit :)"
75957,739308,2011-11-23,1115181,Tanya,"My family and I could not have asked for a more comfortable or lovely place to stay! Kelly's little ""home away from home"" has charm, warmth and all the comforts you'd expect. In a quiet and beautiful section of Old Austin, it was easy to relax and rejuvenate after a long and busy day. Kelly and her husband were very welcoming and always there if needed, but sensitive to our privacy. I would highly recommend staying with Kelly if you are visiting the Austin area. We truly had a perfect visit!"
75957,763637,2011-12-05,593733,Michelle,"Kelly was such a pleasure to work with! Not only was she accomodating, but such a gracious host. The cottage is just as pictured, clean, neat and very cozy. My husband, son (3) and I enjoyed our stay and couldn't have been more comfortable. 

Kelly was thoughtful and sweet, I felt like we were visiting a friend.

THANK YOU, Kelly! It was a pleasure and we hope to stay with you again."
75957,770592,2011-12-07,1458187,Rebecca,"I always take a break before the holidays to clear my head and set intentions for the holidays and new year. Usually I drive to Marfa, TX but wanted something closer to home (Austin). The place was quiet, cozy, clean, beautiful, and had everything I needed. It was a joy to be so close to home and so relaxed at the same time! "
75957,781543,2011-12-12,1483632,Christina,"Beautiful space, impeccably clean, and had everything we needed. Neighborhood was very safe and quiet, and neighbors were friendly. Kelly was a gracious host and made us feel very comfortable. Nice touches were fresh flowers, Greek yogurt, and fresh fruit. Great stay!"
75957,795756,2011-12-20,325660,Dana,"My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay in this apartment.  The space was clean and inviting, and you can tell that Kelly takes good care of the the apartment.  The neighborhood was very quiet, but still very convenient for getting around the city.  I would absolutely stay here again if my travels take me back to Austin."
75957,804834,2011-12-25,1303838,M,"We stayed at Kelly’s apartment for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. The apartment is conveniently located, very clean and comfortable. Kelly and Louie are great hosts. This apartment will be our preferred choice to stay during future Austin visits. "
75957,816221,2011-12-30,1333485,Jenny,"The apartment was great, super comfortable, clean, and with a great backyard. Simplicity that more than surpassed our needs at a great price. Thanks Kelly, we'll likely be back in the spring!"
75957,896223,2012-02-01,1468893,Kevin,"A pleasant and restful stay in a quiet, safe and leafy neighborhood away from the din of the city and university, yet only minutes by car from major shopping and entertainment districts.

Our hosts were easy-going, congenial and considerate, and we came and went as we pleased. We felt quite at home, enjoying the comfort and warmth of the tastefully decorated & furnished apartment, cooking meals, and simply lazing away the time, listening to music, reading or having friends over for wine and conversation.

An excellent alternative to a hotel or staying in the spare bedroom at a friend's or family member's home!



"
75957,907159,2012-02-07,994434,Lou Ellyn,"Kelly is fabulous--really welcoming, low key, and thinks of details.  Her place is really nice, very clean, and in a beautiful neighborhood. It is quiet and a nice place to walk. The bus stops only 2 blocks away.  I would highly recommend her place.  Even though it is a little ways from the center of town, it is a beautiful contrast from the city, and a short bus ride away.    "
75957,918217,2012-02-13,706986,Gayle,This is the perfect place to stay in Austin.  Its close to all the fun or at least an easy drive and the neighborhood is great for walking.  Especially if you are in the mood for some coffee and pastry by the lake.  
75957,981090,2012-03-08,1795651,Nickolas,"Kelly has a very nice, clean and private apartment located behind her residence, the apartment was in a beautiful neighborhood located just out of town. She was very easy going with the whole process and very respectful of our privacy.  Can't think of a single complaint and would definitely recommend her place for anyone seeking a nice quiet place to stay in an awesome city."
75957,999176,2012-03-14,388801,Florian,"Beautiful, clean, comfortable and modern space. I recommend it!"
75957,1016844,2012-03-19,1657024,Jimmy,"This place was absolutely perfect for our needs! Really cozy, with all the amenities and comfort of home. Kelly and her husband we're really great to us... genuinely warm folks, and had the apt. well prepared for our arrival. Only a short, straight drive from Downtown Austin, its close enough to the center of everything but tucked away just enough to provide you a quiet place to escape for a little. Would definitely recommend this to any friends traveling to Austin."
75957,1043729,2012-03-26,1758924,Nancy,"The perfect private hideaway in Old West Austin, not far from Lake Austin. Very clean and comfortable with new everything. Quiet, one bedroom apartment upstairs in back, you look outside to oak trees and sunlight. Birds and squirrels, no road noise at all. Well equipped mini kitchen, but we were so full from eating out, we never used it. But we did use the refrigerator. And the washer/dryer. The hosts had thought of everything. We didn't need to go out for anything except to enjoy the city. I will definitely be back. "
75957,1071610,2012-04-02,424152,Kate,We had the most wonderful time in this apartment. It was close to everything and was private enough to feel like our own place. There were so many small sweet touches that made our stay even more enjoyable like yogurts in the fridge and coffee already set up for us to when we got there. Kelly and Louie were amazing hosts and we can't  wait to go back again soon!
75957,1174710,2012-04-24,1613169,Shelley,"This apartment is exactly as pictured and described! I loved having the kitchen with small refrigerator, glasses, and toaster to make us feel more at home and the hosts left snacks there for us, which was wonderful. There's also a wonderful patio with lounge chairs to sit at to enjoy the outside! Wi-fi connection was not strong at the time- though all the better to get more into vacation mode! The hosts are very kind and responded quickly to emails about questions I had before my arrival.

Also, the location is great! On a beautiful and quiet street in a very central part of Austin. We were able to avoid all traffic on Lamar coming into dt because Enfield/15th is such a great street and could quickly get anywhere in North and South Austin because it's so close to MoPac.

I'll definitely be staying there again!"
75957,1193296,2012-04-28,527670,Chip,"I am woefully late in providing this feedback, but our stay was delightful.  My family was stuck between our move from apartment to house in Austin - so my wife went with our infant daughter to her mom's house 3 hours away but my 2.5 year old son and I needed a place to stay (so I could keep working!).   We were welcomed to a great apartment and treated like guests in their home.  I would wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you are traveling to Austin, or like us, a local who needs a quick place to stay for yourself or anyone who is visiting.  "
75957,1200014,2012-04-30,1779095,Nancy,"The stay exceeded all our expectations.  It was super clean, well decorated, and spacious.  The cottage is very close to lots of great places in Austin, and Kelly and her husband very friendly and full of ideas for great places to go and eat.  We will definitely want to stay here again."
75957,1240028,2012-05-07,2071394,Justin,Kelly's apartment is the perfect retreat in the heart of Austin.  Great central location and the apartment has everything you could hope for in a home away from home.  Great for short stays or even a long term corporate stay.  The included washer and dryer were key when we were caught in a sudden rain storm. 
75957,1320049,2012-05-21,2292316,Shiori,"It was a very comfortable and pleasant stay. We highly recommend this place. It was quite, close to downtown and lake that a cute coffee shop and restaurant sits on. "
75957,1348169,2012-05-25,2403291,Matthew,"Great space, very nice, cool indie rock posters.  There's a full kitchen and a living room - it's an excellent place to stay in Austin.  "
75957,1371575,2012-05-29,1617918,Katie,"The apt was clean, bright, and beautiful, just as the photos show. We couldn't have been happier. Would definitely stay here again! "
75957,1491676,2012-06-16,190449,Elizabeth,"Wonderful stay! Whether your visit to Austin is for a relaxing, peaceful retreat nestled away in an idyllic, quiet Central Austin neighborhood, or you want convenient, fast (think 2-minute drive time) to the hustle and bustle of Austin's downtown energy, Kelly's Cottage Apt has it all. 

Kelly was a discreet but attentive host, and anything you could possibly want was provided - loads of fresh towels, a full kitchen, and incredibly comfortable furnishings - everything new and quite fresh. 100 percent cotton sheets, down feather pillows (not kidding!) cotton quilts and Limoges china in the kitchen. Like your own little W hotel suite. 

Definitely a five-star stay and would recommend without hesitation. Amazing.  "
75957,1605618,2012-07-01,1107277,Evan,"What a great 1-bed cottage in a beautiful neighborhood! Clean, attractive, quiet--close to everything but pleasantly away from everything too! There's a public pool around the corner (wish I had had time to partake!) Lovely family who left amazing snacks in the fridge for me and sunflowers in the living room, delightful all around!"
75957,1865423,2012-08-01,2844806,Tomer,"The cottage apt was beautiful .
The place is newly done. Very well maintained and super clean. The central AC worked perfectly and the queen size bed was comfortable to sleep on.
The owners were super nice to leave us some bottled water, on, bread and butter in the refrigerator and some fresh fruit on the counter.
We felt at home and had a great time in town.
Will be happy to stay again(-:"
75957,1960094,2012-08-12,2861782,Peggy,"The sunny little cottage apartment perfectly met my needs for a quiet, cozy spot to spend a a couple of days in a wonderful Austin neighborhood. The location is ideal if one wants to get out of the fray for downtime, yet be able to hop on a major thoroughfare for quick access to the hustle and bustle. I took walks around the neighborhood and down to Mozart's on the lake for smoothies. The nearby Deep Eddy Pool was refreshing. But I have to admit I had a difficult time getting out of the house; it was so comfortable and pleasant, complete with fresh fruit, yogurt and water provided by Kelly. 

Kelly was very welcoming and kind and made everything so easy. She was responsive and also left me alone to come and go. I enjoyed my visit quite a bit and hope to return for perhaps a longer stay another time. "
75957,2333847,2012-09-18,3168911,Tina,"This place is fantastic - very clean, true to photos, and in a beautiful neighborhood. The location is peaceful, and it's a quick, inexpensive cab ride or bus trip to the heart of downtown Austin. Kelly is a really nice host - she even stocked our refrigerator with breakfast bread, butter, OJ, milk, and water, and she had a jar of great coffee too! I would highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Austin."
75957,2396977,2012-09-24,3481987,Brandon,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kelly and Louie's cottage. It's located in a charming neighborhood with gorgeous homes creating a wonderful ambiance. Stocking the kitchen with breakfast treats and beverages was a nice touch. Included various amenities such as a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Why stay in a cookie cutter cramped hotel room when you can enjoy the serenity and style of this wonderful cottage? Definite thumbs up, we hope to be back visiting soon!"
75957,2474032,2012-10-01,2844363,Arron,"Kelly was such a thoughtful and gracious host and the apartment was so charming. We definitely hope to stay here the next time my husband, baby and myself are down in Austin."
75957,2539150,2012-10-08,3390525,Ann,"My husband and I stayed in the Cottage Apt for a week-end visit to Austin. The apt was perfect for us! This modern, eclectically decorated cottage is located in a beautiful established Austin neighborhood. Perfect location, close to UT, downtown and restaurants. The apt is very clean, has a fully equipped kitchen (should you feel the need), nice personal touches(fresh flowers,fresh fruit and a stocked mini-fridge with ""light"" breakfast foods and drinks). The Cottage is tucked behind the Main House, so nights are peaceful making it easy to get a good nights sleep on a comfortable bed. Kelly, the owner, was gracious, communicated promptly, was available for questions, yet allowed us privacy. We could not have had a better stay! We are looking forward to future visits. I recommend the Cottage for couples or individuals looking for a quality, private, get-away."
75957,2621404,2012-10-15,3671011,Christin,"We rented Kelly's place for ACL weekend and it turned out to be the perfect weekend getaway. Not only is it extremely neat and well decorated, but the location was perfect. Kelly left snacks and beverages in the fridge for us and was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. "

75957,3406380,2013-01-24,3151543,Callie,"Kelly and Louie were excellent hosts, and their apartment is darling! My boyfriend and I used their apartment as home base while we house-hunted, and Kelly was able to accommodate us a few days beyond our initial agreement so we didn't have to relocate before our move-in date. They stocked the fridge before our arrival with breakfast goodies, as well as coffee and tea. Their neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and literally minutes from downtown (5-10 depending on traffic). I would recommend their place to anyone: great space, great location, great people!"
75957,3614174,2013-02-26,4477265,Ingrid,"What a wonderful place! Kelly's cottage was clean, cozy and decorated beautifully. Located in the old West Austin neighborhood; filled with interesting architecture and lush gardens. Tucked away on a quiet street. Outside the cottage there is a little patio where you can enjoy your morning coffee. Since we were there for such a short time we didn't have a chance to meet Kelly, but she was great to communicate with prior to our stay. You can also tell that she puts a lot of thought and effort into her cottage. Would definitely recommend this place!"
75957,3771678,2013-03-13,258274,David,"We stayed at Kelly's place for SXSW and had a great experience! It's in a nice, quiet location and it was easy to drive to different places in Austin. The apartment was clean, and was stocked with water and food which we greatly appreciated!! "
75957,3789650,2013-03-15,4997617,Stuart,"Kelly and her place were amazing.  Very clean, comfortable and a short taxi or bus ride from downtown.  She even left us some much needed coffee, fruit and orange juice!

Would definitely stay here again."
75957,3832924,2013-03-19,4725345,Brooke,"LOVED this charming space in Tarrytown (quiet lovely neighborhood). Rented bikes and had pedal powered adventures all over Austin. Kelly and Louie are such gems to rent from. We arrived to spring daffodils on the coffee table and nibbles and beverages in the fridge, so sweet.  

This will be my go to spot when next in Austin! Thanks Kelly and Louie! "
75957,3887174,2013-03-25,2576119,Brittany,"Absolutely an incredible stay at Kelly's guest house! We rented her place for two nights while in town for a wedding and I am so glad to have picked her amazing home! The location is perfect and the place is very cozy and clean. We felt right at home each time we returned for the night and she even left us breakfast and anything we needed in the kitchen! I highly recommend her home for any type of stay, whether long or short term. Will definitely be checking the schedule to stay here another time soon!"
75957,3938761,2013-03-29,30707,Donna,"I have nothing but good things to say about my two nights spent at this bright, clean, comfortable Cottage.  Kelly and Louie are great hosts and made our stay super easy and seamless.  They are easy going and obviously know the in's and outs of making your stay in Austin a good one.  The Cottage is in a really nice and peaceful neighborhood of Austin and it was nice to come back to after a busy day of activities.  The pretty flowers and fruit along with some goodies in the refrigerator made us feel welcome on our first night.  I give this place 5 stars and hope to stay here again on my next visit to Austin."

75957,4728126,2013-05-22,5530580,Ann Ilan,"The apartment is in the back of a lovely house in the Austin neighborhood of Tarrytown.  It is very pleasant, comfortable and equipped with everything you need for Internet use, or cooking.  The kitchen was a surprise - a good butcher block counter to eat at, and also a good place to cook. 

The other nice thing about the apartment is that there is a seating area outside for drinks, a perfect place for Gin & Tonics at the end of a long, hot Austin day.  "
75957,4834773,2013-05-28,5853267,Jane,"We loved our stay at Kelly's cottage!!!  The cottage was super comfortable and had everything we needed.

75957,5700949,2013-07-12,5507502,Jocelyn,"Loved our stay at Kelly and Louie's cottage.  We used to live in Austin and this was the perfect place to base ourselves as we re-connected with friends.  Close to a lot of great restaurants and boutique/mall shopping but located very quiet tree-lined street.  For those of you that like to jog/run its also close to Town Lake hike and bike trail where my kids were busy with rowing camp. Very clean, CUTE, super comfortable master bed, everything you need is in the kitchen and Kelly very thoughtfully stocked it with breakfast essentials (water, oj, toast, yogurt)  which I wasnt expecting.  Kelly and Louie were great hosts, easy to communicate with, and worked with me to accomodate my early check in/ early check out needs. Will definitely book w Kelly again when I return to Austin. "
75957,6455774,2013-08-13,6238566,Delphine,"Kelly and her husband Louie are the greatest hosts, super nice, friendly and helpful. The apartment is great, tastefully decorated and has everything you need for long stays. It's located in a beautiful neighborhood, safe, close to downtown and the major points of interest.

75957,7531811,2013-09-23,6254396,Alex,"I had a wonderful stay. The guest house is conveniently located, very quiet, very clean, and very tastefully decorated.

The bed was very comfortable. All linens and pillows were fresh and clean. Likewise, the bathroom was clean, bright, and there were plenty of fresh towels.

Communicating with Kelly was a breeze and checking in/out was completely hassle-free.

A++ will definitely prefer to stay here again on my next trip."

75957,8217035,2013-10-21,8732868,Sydney,"Kelly's rental is exactly as described, if not even better! We were greeted with fresh linens, snacks, and a lovely flower arrangement. I highly recommend this space, and it's close to anything you'd want to see in Austin. "
75957,8480941,2013-11-02,1159238,Joanne,"We were here for a long stay (7+ days) and thoroughly enjoyed our time at this Cottage Apt. The place is comfortable and designed with taste, extremely well located, and Kelly and her husband were super hospitable. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen modern with beautiful butcher block counters you can sit at, and we especially loved how well lit all the rooms were. Lighting always seems an afterthought at many airbnb places -- not here. Finally, we can't say enough about how accommodating Kelly and her husband were. My husband had an injury while in town and they were most patient and understanding with the situation. They also provided coffee and other pantry items, which were much appreciated."
75957,8694297,2013-11-12,2539011,Stacy,"We live in Austin and had my in-laws stay in Kelly's place. It was a beautiful space that she kept stocked with breakfast items and snacks.

She got back to me right away, and was extremely helpful and courteous in all of our dealings together. I would absolutely book this place again!"
75957,9430462,2013-12-28,179515,Carol,Kelly was a dream host. This apt was a perfect setting for our family visit. We were provided with everything we needed. Fruit and coffee with choices for breakfast made our late arrival work. Very comfortable and quiet. Great location. 
75957,9542753,2014-01-02,9623996,Christina,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and I was a bit nervous about it.  I don't know if I would have done it, if not for the impeccable reviews Kelly had.  Everything looked just as I expected, and Kelly was easy to reach throughout the process.  She had all necessary amenities available, and even some breakfast/snacks in the fridge.  We were pretty busy and didn't get to spend all that much time there, but I'd love to stay when we visit Austin again.  Highly recommended!"

Kelly was a wonderful host and graciously accommodated all our last minute arrival and departure times due to airline and weather related problems.  She made us feel right at home. Our refrigerator had everything we needed for breakfast, the bed and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the apartment was spotless..  She even left movies for us to watch after my flight got cancelled because of an ice storm! A home away from home.  We'll definitely go back.  It was the perfect location for us.  Thanks again, Kelly "

Our time in Austin was MUCH sweeter because of Kelly's place. We look forward to calling it ""home"" each time we travel to Austin.

Kelly was wonderful to deal with and I would stay here again when I come back to Austin!  Lovely.... I would highly recommend Kelly and her Private Central Austin Cottage Apartment"
75957,12345266,2014-04-29,13585587,Kyle,"Kelly is an outstanding host. She was extremely hospitable, even amid my mistakes in timing of my check-in and check-out. 

The apartment is pretty great. My girlfriend and I stayed there for three nights while we were in town for a friend's wedding. The apartment is spacious enough for two and quite cozy. The kitchen refrigerator already had food, water and orange juice stocked for us. Everything was very clean and welcoming. 

All in all, I would love to stay at this apartment again on my next visit to Austin."
75957,12888282,2014-05-13,13488018,Jon,"Amazing unit, incredible host. Perfect in every way, the best Air BnB we've stayed at.  A+, highly recommended."

Kelly even provided some nice snacks and a vase of sunflowers, which were very much appreciated! Kelly was very accessible and happily answered my questions.

75957,14893841,2014-06-28,17178616,Timothy,"Great apartment in a wonderful neighborhood! Kelly was very quick to respond to messages and easy to communicate with. My wife and I enjoyed our stay here and it made our trip feel more special rather than staying at a hotel. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and had everything available for either a long or a short stay (towels, kitchen utensils, bug spray, etc.). The neighborhood felt very safe and within a 5 minute drive to downtown. I would highly recommend staying here and we would definitely stay again. Thanks for making our first Air BnB experience a great one!"
75957,15367784,2014-07-07,17221131,Janet,"Kelly's little upstairs apartment is as cute as it gets!  Private quarters with  a lovely yard just outside the front door... The neighborhood is stunning - beautiful homes and convenient to everything we wanted to do.  This was our first visit to Austin and we were very impressed!  Kelly was super sweet ... She had flowers in the living room, cold, filtered water in the little fridge, yogurt, English muffins, butter and jam, bananas, milk, coffee - perfect and very generous for a good start to a day of shopping and sight seeing! If it had been cooler, we would have walked down to the river (but it was hot).  I certainly got lots of tips and ideas for when we set up our vacation rental. Thanks Kelly.  
"
75957,15737487,2014-07-14,17893948,Ry,"This was my first Airbnb and it was great — utterly clean, welcoming, charming, and private. Plenty of parking, brilliantly simple to check in and out, easy to come and go, and a quick drive to downtown. My girlfriend and I talked about how we'd like our apartment to be as well appointed as this one. "
75957,16096645,2014-07-22,1294147,Anthony,"If you want a place in Austin that is perfectly located in a gorgeous, safe neighborhood, well appointed yet comfortable, spotless, and with gracious hosts, then this is the one for you. When we phoned Kelly to say our flight was delayed, she kindly offered to go shopping for us for some staples, since we’d be getting in so late.  Parking is no problem; check in (and checkout) were painless.  We also appreciated the little touches like providing beach towels (for the brand-new city pool a few blocks away) and a grocery discount card on the key ring. Everything just “works” with this apartment – it is what Airbnb should be - and we’d gladly stay there again."
75957,16492950,2014-07-28,17687922,Jared,"Kelly was an amazing host! This was our first Airbnb experience as well as our first visit to Austin, and she made it the most hassle-free, comfortable stay we could've imagined. The apartment was in a super quite (almost too quite) town called Terrytown just minutes west of Downtown Austin. Well decorated, modern, and so clean we even thought what it would be like to live in a place like hers. There was so much more space than what we had expected. Kelly had even stocked the mini-fridge for us with bottles of water, milk, orange juice, yogurt, english muffins, butter, and even had a couple of apples and bananas sitting on the counter. This was the best way to kick-off our anniversary weekend in Austin as well as our first experience using Airbnb. We would totally stay here again the next time we visit Austin."
75957,18385590,2014-08-25,20290980,Radhika,Perfect for a weekend getaway!!
75957,18815127,2014-09-01,8801464,Sheryl,"This charming cottage apartment in Tarrytown was perfect for our weekend in Austin. The neighborhood is beautiful, centrally located, and lends itself to a morning walk! The cottage is roomy, immaculate and well appointed. Kelly was an amazing host and very welcoming. Fresh flowers greeted us on the table and the fridge was stocked with much appreciated breakfast goodies and water. There were other thoughtful items such as beach towels, and koozies. We will definitely stay there again."
75957,19851381,2014-09-19,21200934,Patrick,"Kelly and Louie were amazing hosts.  For my first stay in Austin, this couldn't have been a better experience.  The neighborhood is quiet and secluded without being out in the middle of nowhere -- you'll be so close to downtown, uptown, around town -- and it'll only take minute to get anywhere since it's right on MoPac (but you don't hear it at all).  The little apartment is even better than it looks, full of a vibe that makes it feel like a home away from home -- and the hosts have plans to make it even better.  

Kelly goes the distance in providing some mainstays like bottled water, yogurt and English muffins in the mini fridge just to keep that first morning from being too rushed -- and the patio outside is a little piece of Heaven that both smokers and non-smokers can enjoy without upsetting any of the surroundings, neighbors, or hosts.

The hosts were uniquely concerned as to my level of comfort and made sure that I had everything that I needed.  The bathroom and kitchen is modern and, after a few days, I wanted to take the bathroom home with me.

Being my first AirBNB experience, I'll say that I've most likely been spoiled.  I can't imagine a trip going any more smoothly.  I can't imagine ever feeling any more welcome where I stay.  I hope to visit again!"
75957,20097779,2014-09-23,19986828,Jessica,"Kelly's cottage apartment was amazing! From the little extras in the fridge to the fresh flowers on the table, my friend and I felt right at home! The neighborhood is very quaint and quiet, and easy access to downtown. After two days, we really didn't want to leave! Now I know where to stay if and when I travel to Austin again! Thanks Kelly!!!"
75957,20452981,2014-09-29,7594064,Jennifer,"Kelly's apartment was really great. It was super clean and new feeling, well designed, and plenty of room for me and my boyfriend. The neighborhood was very cute and central. Kelly responded super quick the one time we needed to ask her something. I would totally recommend the cottage to friends and would stay there again myself. "
75957,21335723,2014-10-15,11485152,Masha,"This is a great private apartment. Everything looks like on the photos - cosy, airy, and stylish.  When we arrived, the place was sparkling-clean and even smelled clean (and I am not talking ""air freshener-masking-something-smell""). 

Kelly was a great host, easy to get in touch with via text or e-mail.  She was quick to answer questions we had and proactively asked if we needed anything.  Overall, a great experience!"
75957,21750236,2014-10-23,21646779,Danny,"A great place to stay in Austin: immaculately clean, quiet, and private. The location is great. You can get to most cool Austin spots without needing to brave freeway traffic. And it's good for families: there's a newly renovated park right down the street and the apartment even has laundry!"

The neighborhood is quiet and a great location to downtown Austin. We had a rental car and travelled outside of Austin which was great to see."

It is well furnished, very inviting and comfortable, and Kelly and Owen are extremely hospitable!! They made sure my party was comfortable and settled at all times, whether it was extra linens, groceries, or advice on getting around town. I would definitely return and stay at their wonderful apartment again. "

75957,24810030,2015-01-03,1313235,Luca,"I've been using AirBNB for years and travel quite often, and this was undoubtedly the absolute best experience I have ever had on AirBNB. The house was immaculate. Perfectly furnished with an interior decorator's eye. Perfectly clean with tons of blankets and nice fluffy white towels. There was a fridge with some treats inside, dishwasher, washer, dryer-- everything. The bed and the fold out couch were both very comfortable. Perfectly quiet, yet located in the best neighborhood in Austin close to everything. The best part was our host. Kelly was amazing. So sweet. So hospitable. She even brought over some amazing treats and prosecco as a Christmas gift. We spoke to her husband a few times, who was super cool as well. Just a wonderful family of great people.

We hope she lets us stay there on our next trip!"
75957,25320384,2015-01-12,13813517,Chris,"Kelly and her husband were really friendly and helpful. The neighborhood is really pretty and quiet, but very close to everything you could need from a grocery store (Randalls) to an awesome 24hr diner (Magnolia). The cottage apartment is really nice, quiet, clean and well stocked. I spent five days there and it felt like home away from home."

We appreciated the milk, coffee, English muffins, and yogurt waiting in the refrigerator. The wifi was fast and reliable. This was our first time in any Airbnb and we were completely satisfied. "
75957,25670847,2015-01-22,5003915,Eva,"Me and my boyfriend really enjoyed staying here. The space is so clean and perfectly and tastefully done. It has everything we need, even a washer and dryer. Louie and Kelly were very sweet and we look forward to see them again. The neighborhood is beautiful, I ran to the lake in the mornings."

75957,26688440,2015-02-17,25967246,Katie,"Kelly was a tremendous host - she had the place ready at our convenience, and left plenty of fresh linens, as well as water and breakfast snacks in the fridge. The apartment was clean, modern, and comfortable, and was exactly as described - there was plenty of street parking, and a cab downtown was about $7. "
75957,26858243,2015-02-21,7998716,Scott,"I can think of no higher praise than to say I wish I could have stayed here longer. Quiet, tidy, every amenity I could ask for... and two friendly hosts who made my partner and me feel welcome and at home."
75957,27372654,2015-03-02,28313636,Shona,"A great experience! 

The apartment was immaculately decorated and very comfortable. It was in a lovely location and very handy for getting into town.

Kelly was a fantastic host - the booking was well organised and she had thought of absolutely everything - from swimming towels to extras in the fridge. Great not to have to worry about breakfast on our first day!

We could happily have stayed much longer and wouldn't hesitate to stay there next time we visit Austin."
75957,27519701,2015-03-06,19068172,Joseph,"The guest home was warm, clean, and very cozy. It is exactly as pictured and was just a wonderful and charming experience. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful yet only a few minute drive to downtown! I definitely would recommend this place for a getaway to Austin without the noise/crowdedness of the city"
75957,27591408,2015-03-08,27243128,Dominik,We loved Kelly's apartment. It's perfectly located in Austin too. Just minutes away from downtown and calm/quiet. The apartment was very clean and just as described in the profile. It really gave us a warm comfy feeling staying here. It was furnished super cute and has everything that one can think of. Kelly even left us fresh fruit to snack on while we were there. Thanks again for a wonderful AirBNB experience and going the extra mile for us. Until next time.
75957,27890899,2015-03-14,3511816,Marissa,"Kelly & Louie are the perfect hosts! The apartment was everything I needed and more.  Impeccably clean, beautifully modern & stylish. The breakfast items in the fridge were the perfect touch and a great start to the day. Thankyou Kelly I look forward to returning next year during SXSW."
75957,28266643,2015-03-21,7970571,Ben,Amazing room and the loveliest hosts! Made our sxsw trip very comfortable. Room is well appointed and has a homely feel. Kelly and her husband are great people.

75957,30862279,2015-04-28,27333963,Mary,"What a great stay!  Everything is just as pictured, clean, comfortable and in a great neighborhood where we enjoyed walking and relaxing outside on the patio.   So nice to have breakfast items stocked in the fridge and to have a washer and dryer available in the unit.  The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, pots and pans and utensils.  The hosts were very nice and responsive to all our needs. This was our first airbnb and we will definitely do it again. Thanks Kelly and Louis! We hope to be back!"
75957,31322642,2015-05-04,29392836,Charlotte,"The apartment was so lovely, brilliantly decorated and spotlessly clean. Kelly and Louie were very welcoming and had included bits for breakfast which was a really nice touch on arrival. It was in a great location near the river, and some great breakfast places and easy taxi ride into central which was $6. We had a great stay! "
75957,32688452,2015-05-20,17010581,Karl,"Kelly and Louis made us feel at home and very welcome.  Though we can in late Kelly met us as we went to the quarters, welcomed us and asked us if we needed anything.  Later that same evening as we recuperated from the flight we discovered the TV wasn't working.  Louis came up and tried to get it to work but couldn't - turns out the cable company had gone digital and a technician had to come out.  They did and we had evening recreation.  Lovely couple, with two lovely cats.  The quarters are some of the nicest we've stayed in, in a physically beautiful part of Austin, very close to MoPac and a straight shot to the Capitol area, downtown and the East side.  Highly recommend."
75957,33059177,2015-05-25,18727219,Kay,"We have been making regular trips to Austin for the past 4 years and we wish we would've found this place sooner!  This cottage is located in a great neighborhood, conveniently located to west campus and downtown.  The host was available but gave us complete privacy and a big bonus in Austin--parking was available right out front.  There were fresh flowers and a fridge stocked with a light breakfast.  This place is chic and charming with a relaxing vibe.  Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!"
75957,33853395,2015-06-01,33696902,Tim,"What a delightful experience! Kelly & Louie could not have been more accomodating, it was such a wonderful experience. The private cottage is located in an adorable area with plenty to do, I specifically loved the local coffee shop, Mozart's. The cottage is very clean and perfect for your stay in Austin. Thank you again, Kelly & Louie, I look forward to my next trip to Austin. "
75957,34669689,2015-06-10,34570799,Brian,"Kelly has a really great space in central Austin. She made it available on short notice after our home was affected by the recent flood rains in central Texas. It's close to a park with a swimming pool and large green space. We walked there several times during our stay.  Parking out front on the street is not an issue, there are plenty of spaces at all times of the day.  We feel like we made a great decision booking this space!"
75957,35260854,2015-06-16,35142296,Ken,"Great neighborhood, beautiful modern cottage and very private.  Liked the fact it was tucked away in the back yard, out of view of the street.  Hosts were very accommodating with little glitches like the wifi needing rebooting.  Only improvement would be perhaps allowing parking in the driveway (room enough to allow owner's usage) instead of on the street, but didn't present a problem."
75957,35838411,2015-06-22,8801464,Sheryl,"This is our second stay at the condo. We love the homey feel, great location and welcoming touches. Kelly is wonderful to work with and is a super host! "
75957,39216857,2015-07-21,23272761,Gareth,"Just out of earshot of the highway system, in a leafy established and mildly upscale suburb a few moments’ drive from downtown this apartment is a great place to stay when based around Austin. You need a car and getting anywhere and parking is easy. The secluded very private and quiet apartment is up a flight of stairs -then comfortable and well equipped with all you need for a short or long stay. I had a week here and could easily have stayed longer. The hosts are very caring and live in the same complex and leave you be–unless you need something and Kelly and Louie could not be nicer when asked for anything.
The kitchen is particularly well equipped the Wi-Fi is good and the laundry works well too. Unless you want the noise of downtown would strongly suggest saying here. Its very clean comfortable decent and all non-ostentatious decent quality.

"
75957,41035264,2015-08-03,18727219,Kay,"This was our second visit to Kelly's place in just a few months. Once again everything was great! The location is perfect, parking is easy, the cottage is chic and cozy, and the host makes everything simple and convenient. Thank you for being a part of another great trip to Austin!"
75957,42073705,2015-08-10,15934669,Evan,"We had a great stay here - the apartment is even better than advertised, and Kelly was very accommodating with out late-night arrival.  She made up the sofa bed and had snacks ready for us when we arrived so we could get to sleep quickly.  The privacy was unparalleled but she was always speedy to reply whenever a question arose.  The location is just outside of downtown, but it was close to our destination on the water and was a quick Uber ride to anywhere we needed to get all weekend.  Highly recommended!"
75957,44228760,2015-08-24,20128389,John,I have used Airbnb many times. Kelly's place has been one of our favorites. The apartment is very private and exactly as explained. We will definitely return. 
75957,45735575,2015-09-05,40403487,Nick,"Fantastic place, clean, nice, great location, great hosts."
75957,46224556,2015-09-08,5294187,Max,"The cottage was excellent. Very clean, well-stocked, and just generally pleasant. It sits in an extremely charming Austin neighborhood. Five minutes from downtown, everything I wanted to do while I was in the city always seemed like only a convenient drive away. Kelly was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had, but honestly I didn't need much since the cottage was so great to begin with. "
75957,46654929,2015-09-12,40403487,Nick,"Kellys place is fantastic, very nice, perfect location and she is a great host."
75957,49213636,2015-10-02,11485152,Masha,"This was the second time we rented this apartment for my parents when they came to visit. By far, the best apartment around - nicely furnished, comfortable, pristine and located in a quiet neighborhood, but close to everything. Kelly is a great host, very responsive and welcoming. Will rent her place again in a heartbeat!"
75957,49612244,2015-10-05,40407338,Jennifer,"I can't say enough great things about this little gem! Everything about it was perfect. The property is beautiful and you just can't get a better location.  Kelly was so very helpful and made the entire stay comfortable and convenient. I will definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin. Thank you again, Kelly!"
75957,50080719,2015-10-09,25223463,Kent,"We stayed here for the second time and it was wonderful again. The The neighborhood is quiet, the bed comfortable, and so we slept well. There was enough for our breakfasts (yogurt, coffee, English muffins, jam). The wireless network worked fine, and there is a washer and dryer. All in all we highly recommend it."
75957,50623417,2015-10-13,14382267,Tabitha,"From the moment we stepped up to the property we knew it was going to be a great stay. Kelly was such a wonderful host!  She's very responsive and welcoming. The apartment is in an affluent neighborhood in Austin and close to downtown, Lady Bird Lake, Mozart's and any other place you'd want to visit during your Austin stay. I can't say enough about how impressed I was with the apartment. It has a washer & dryer, comfortable bed and was nicely furnished. Kelly even had juice, water, yogurt and English muffins in the fridge for us. I'll definitely be staying here again!  "
75957,50939956,2015-10-16,43724962,Justine,"Our experience at Kelly's sweet little cottage was wonderful! My husband and I stayed at several airbnb places in a few cities in TX during our 1 week trip, and Kelly's cottage was our favorite. Kelly was very welcoming, she greeted us when we arrived and made us feel right at home. Her place is absolutely adorable and the location is beautiful, quite and close to downtown. If ever in Austin again we will absolutely stay at Kelly's place again. "
75957,51296510,2015-10-19,42838982,Jen,"Our weekend at Kelly's was truly perfect! The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and ten minutes or less from everything we wanted to do and the cottage was such a charming oasis for our weekend in Austin! After being on the road for many weeks for work, staying here for the weekend truly felt like a special vacation and Kelly was a wonderful host!  We cannot wait to stay here again for all our future trips to the area, and I would highly reccomend this location to anyone looking for a nice weekend close to everything fun in Austin! Thanks again, Kelly! "
75957,51786564,2015-10-24,26360734,Lauren,Kelly's apartment was so great! Well equipped with the basics for cooking and coffee. Nice neighborhood and apartment was clean. Kelly briefly greeted us when we arrived but otherwise didn’t see her. Wifi and AC both worked great. We'll definitely book again.
75957,52175966,2015-10-26,47015028,Chris,"This was my first airbnb experience and everything went great!  The apartment was clean and tidy, as presented in the pictures, there were light snacks and bottled water in the kitchen, clean sheets and towels and a comfortable bed, the living space felt private.  I'm very happy I chose to stay with Kelly, and I will do it again next time I visit Austin!"

The place is nice and homely, Martha was readily available to communicate with which was very helpful as we were new to the area. If we are in Austin in a few months, we will certainly consider staying here again. Thanks Martha!"
7955026,48337478,2015-09-25,43528925,C.J.,"The house was perfect for our needs.  It was clean,  well kept and perfectly located.  It took us no more than 20 minutes to get anywhere and that includes traffic.  
Mahon was great,  he offered several suggestions for places to go in Austin, the ones we were able to get to were excellent."
7955026,48611616,2015-09-27,44275486,Emily,"House was nice and very clean. Pull out futon ended up being a little too small, but Mason was very accommodating and brought over a queen blow up mattress. "
7955026,51200122,2015-10-18,33596766,Brandon,Great location. Checking in & out was easy. The place was as described. Really good shower head/water pressure.
4156372,20866799,2014-10-06,10063123,Austin,"Cathy and Sam were fantastic, great communication prior to my arrival and during my stay.  The Casita was very clean and comfortable for my stay and had plenty of privacy.  The neighborhood was very safe and short cab ride to anywhere I needed to go.  I would definitely recommend this place for any future visits to Austin"
4156372,21236482,2014-10-13,5324685,Stephen,"Just returned home to Virginia from Austin and 5 days at Blue Casita.  Sam was a wonderful host and the property is exactly as described.  We arrived a bit early and Sam hurried home to show us around and get us settled.  He offered dining suggestions, insight into the bus line ( a stop is less than a 5 minute walk from the house), and suggestions for other things to see and do in the area.  After our initial check-in we were left to our own devices.  Sam and his family were right across the patio if we needed anything.

Pictures are very accurate and I really loved the custom tile shower.

Keep in mind the rental is a studio about 250-300 square fee or so.  If you're planning to spend a lot of time inside, it may feel a bit squeezed.   But it was a great spot for our first trip to ACL Music Festival.

Best suggestion I could give is take the bus.  There are plenty of restaurants, a couple markets, and plenty to do in the walkable, immediate area, but if you take the time to learn the bus schedule and download Capmetro's handy app, you'll have the entire city of Austin to explore, even without a car.

Thanks Sam for a great home base!!"
4156372,25610823,2015-01-20,25715927,Amy,"Sam and Cathy were friendly, responsive, and made me feel welcome, yet they did not infringe upon my privacy.  "

4156372,26967579,2015-02-22,28020027,Lauren,"Blue Casita made for a wonderful weekend stay.  The space is very clean, modern, and private.  The hosts were extremely responsive to questions I had and were more than accommodating.  It's in a great location off of South Lamar, but they are well stocked on interesting reads should you plan to stay in. "
4156372,28126592,2015-03-18,3961048,Christina,"The Blue Casita is a very nice and quiet place and was perfect to get some rest in between buy SXSW conference. The location is very quiet and super nice area. The Casita is as described on the pictures - I felt very comfortable. Even I never met Sam and Cathy due to my busy schedule, I would highly recommend to stay with them!"

We live in Austin and were in a bind between moving homes since our new place was not ready for a couple extra days than expected. When I saw Sam's rental was available and I booked, Sam responded so quickly! The space was so comfortable and perfectly located to get every where we needed to go in Austin. Honestly, I wish I could have stayed much longer! Sam had quite the array of amazing books I wish I had been able to make the time to read. I highly recommend staying here if you need a cozy and modern little place to stay. I did not have the chance to meet Sam, but wish I had. You will enjoy your stay if you book here. "

4156372,29794971,2015-04-12,12489826,Carroll,Blue Casita is a great space! Very cozy and there is plenty of privacy. Sam was very inviting and accommodating. Blue Casita is very close to S Lamar so there's plenty of places to eat within walking distance and it's a short drive (or bike) to 6th st and downtown.
4156372,30060032,2015-04-16,16332794,Armando,The house was fantastic. I loved staying there and I loved my entire experience. The cottage was just as portrayed and I will definitely stay here again.

Close to South Lamar, Downtown, and Zilker Park.  The place was clean and welcoming when we arrived.  It is behind her home, but you feel like it's your own space.  Also, tons of books if you want stay in and read.  Would definitely recommend her place if you're looking for a place to stay in Austin!"

4156372,31968230,2015-05-12,5547803,Anne,"Great place for 1 person or a couple for 2 nights especially if you are in Austin for business or a specific event. Best shower in Airbnb I have stayed in in Austin. Hand down. Suggestions for improvement. More basic amenities: wine opener, beer bottle opener, soap in shower, paper towels, clean wine glasses. Stuff like that. Also, put screen on windows. The garden is awesome and if U hate air conditioning like me u get a nice cross breeze by opening all windows but Austin does have those little things called bugs. "

"
4156372,34108251,2015-06-04,8240400,Natalie,"Cathy was a great host. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed, at all times.  The Casita is not attached to the main dwelling, so you have the feeling of having your own place, with separate entrance.  At the same time, the back yard deck (which is huge and so cool!), that is shared with the house, provides a nice communal area to relax if you are feeling social.

The place is clean, modern, and very tastefully decorated. The beautiful tile shower, and bathroom as a whole, has he the feeling of a 4-star hotel.

We loved the privacy and the quiet of the Casita…Lots of big green trees in the backyard and soothing sounds of nature.  It is brand new construction, and the little details like the mini-fridge and Keurig Coffee Maker have the place feel like a home away from home. We can't emphasize how quiet and comfortable it is. The air-conditioning is powerful and silent, and was always at the prefect temperature. We really needed some good rest on this trip from all of our Austin activities, and Cathy’s Casita was exactly what we needed.
"
4156372,35742244,2015-06-21,35731850,Katria,"This was my first time using airbnb. I asked quite a few questions and Catherine was really accommodating and great!  The property was as described and met our needs for one night away from home. 

With a toddlers schedule, it was quiet and ""baby-proofed"" to meet a well behaved kiddo standards. 
Loved the ample parking and neighborhood. "
4156372,36402007,2015-06-28,10146054,Dawn,"This was my first airbnb experience! I did not get a chance to meet Catherine but she was easy to get in touch with and very nice. The casita was in a lovely area and very cute. There are a few things the casita could improve on but only minor details. Overall, I was happy with my stay."
4156372,36926605,2015-07-02,8243700,Gabe,"Catherine was super responsive and easy to coordinate with. The apartment is lovely, with high ceilings, lots of light, and attention to detail. This is a great Austin neighborhood, and if you're looking for a place to chillax I recommend Radio Coffee/Beer up the street. I had a car, but you could easily get by with Uber/Lyft. "
4156372,37371203,2015-07-06,36081667,Caitlin,"Blue Casita was perfect for my weekend getaway with my partner. Even though the space is small (200 sq. ft. maybe?), there was more than enough room for both of us. The casita is not luxury by any means--the bed is a pull-out couch and there are no appliances other than a coffee maker and a refrigerator--but it's very comfortable and private. The location is perfect (near the Barton Creek Greenbelt and Zilker Park) and there are many fun bars and restaurants within walking or short driving distance. Catherine is very accommodating and allowed us to come and go as we pleased. I highly recommend staying here :-)"
4156372,37823460,2015-07-10,8514013,Shahriar,Staying at Catherine's place was a great airbnb experience for us... The small studio is a few minutes away from downtown and most other things you may want to see in Austin. The room is beautifully decorated with some of the most interesting books. The only complain I have was that the mattress needed to be changed since it went too low on one side. Other than that we had a great experience & recommend it to anyone. 
4156372,37936417,2015-07-11,26791576,Karan,"Catherine was so easy to work.  Responded quickly and was very helpful. Lovely, quiet neighborhood.  Room had everything you could need and was very homey.  "
4156372,38785012,2015-07-18,3515972,Marc,"Our stay at Blue Casita was very pleasant. The pictures represent the space, prefect for a single person or a couple. Very close to desirable locations and in a good neighborhood."
4156372,39247477,2015-07-21,28227290,Joan,Great little place!  Close to everything you would need while visit.  
4156372,40148096,2015-07-28,16332794,Armando,This was our second time staying. We love the casita and the location is excellent. Catherine is easy to reach and very accommodating. Will definitely stay again.
4156372,40869629,2015-08-02,8345964,Reuben,"The Casita was my first Airbnb experience. Cathy made it easy and was flexible with my arrival time even when it changed. The Casita itself was clean and a perfect space for me as I was by myself.  I didn't need to spend a lot of time inside as I was there to be out on the town (which it is well situated for...about a 5-10 min Uber ride to downtown) but it had everything I needed and more. Clean sheets and towels, plus wine glasses, a coffee maker, and mini fridge. Its a good place to stay!"
4156372,41882893,2015-08-09,40423738,Heather,Perfect accommodations!  Lovely private studio all to yourself! I felt much safer than staying in a hotel...excellent neighborhood!
4156372,42971558,2015-08-16,36491248,Adam,"Blue Casita was great! Quiet neighborhood, with a good air conditioner which was a god send in the sweltering heat. Catherine was super helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. "
4156372,43706420,2015-08-21,21400460,Drew,"This was my 2nd stay at the Blue Casita.  The accommodations are comfy and the location is great.  A very good value.  Also, Catherine is a considerate and responsive host."
4156372,46169821,2015-09-08,36343989,Jo,"My first solo AirBNB stay and I had a really lovely time in Catherine's guest home.  Quiet space full of beautiful eclectic books.  I was in town for a dance intensive and it was awesome to feel like I was coming home! The couch was a pull out bed and reasonably comfortable.  The shower was great,  I loved the fact it had plenty of *actual* hot water. (not kind of hot..  But actually hot!  A real treat!) 
The air conditioning and fan were more than enough to keep me cool from the Texas heat!  A small kureig to get me started in the morning and a fridge to keep my food cool!  Would also mention it's in a perfect location with tons of food and public transport near by!  Thanks Catherine for sharing your space with me!"
4156372,46451787,2015-09-10,21400460,Drew,I recently stayed at Catherine's Blue Casita for the third time.  She is a friendly and responsive host.  She makes it easy for me to rule out other options!  Great place and convenient location.  I'll be back soon!
4156372,46776447,2015-09-13,1619759,Allison,"Catherine's place was perfect for my quick trip to Austin. It was clean, cozy and comfortable. The bathroom is absolutely beautiful, as the pictures show. The patio area is also lovely, which I was too busy to enjoy unfortunately. The location is great, too. Close to the airport, South Congress, etc. the neighborhood is quiet and has a great coffee shop/taco truck within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here. "
4156372,47449508,2015-09-18,22179544,Travis,A really great place. Really clean and updated room...has everything you would need. A really quiet neighborhood right in the heart of south Austin. I would definitely come back.
4156372,47757270,2015-09-21,32969768,Evan,"Catherine was great! Prompt, responsive, thoughtful and very helpful. The room was clean and homy and in a great neighborhood. Will definitely come back to the Blue Casita when I come back to Austin."
4156372,48541081,2015-09-27,4576149,Christine + Mike,"The Blue Casita is an excellent Austin hideaway, and is even cuter than in the photos.  The Casita feels quite new and Catherine keeps it in excellent condition.  It boasts and EXCELLENT library containing well over 1000 books on a variety of non-fiction subjects.  Austin was warm during our stay, and the cool concrete floor and excellent A/C kept us very comfortable.  Catherine is a great communicator and willing to provide tips on the fabulous local restaurants, some of which are in walking distance."
4156372,49759441,2015-10-06,13640426,Crystal,"The casita was great! Perfect size and a great location and neighborhood in Austin. Easy to get to anywhere else in Austin and very central.  The casita had a boutique feel to it with a fantastic bathroom, decor and just general vibe. Light and airy and quiet. I stayed there for a week while working remotely and attending ACL Fest and my experience was seamless. Catherine was a great hostess and although we kept missing each other in person, I know if I needed anything she was on the spot willing to help."
4156372,50429238,2015-10-12,31184272,Belinda,"My friend Megan and I were in Austin for ACL weekend 2 and our experience at Cathy's blue casita was the cherry on top of our entire weekend. Cathy was everything we could hope for in an Airbnb host, from giving us ACL tips to having wine with us on her gorgeous patio. The blue casita is only a short uber/lyft away from Zilker park and downtown Austin. ACL fest was fun in itself but it was even better to have a clean and comfortable place to come home to each night. We had a wonderful experience with Cathy and hope to stay with her again during our next Austin visit!"
4156372,52245377,2015-10-27,21189005,Alan,"Our accommodations were quaint and very close to many of the spots we wanted to see. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the casita was clean and filled with a wide range of books. "
8761101,51393975,2015-10-19,27335453,Elvyn,I didn't get to meet Eric in person but he responded quickly and was helpful. The house is beautiful and just like the pictures. The neighborhood does look a bit rough at a first glance but all the neighbors were friendly and quiet. The house was perfect for my friends and I (5 total) and was only about a $10 Uber ride to 6th St! I would definitely recommend this house with for anyone who is going to be in Austin with a group of friends who want easy access to 6th St and want to stay in a beautiful home! 
4602945,28118556,2015-03-18,11607640,Josh,"We stayed in Brett's beautifully renovated bungalow in Hyde Park for SXSW this year and the Housing proved to be the perfect home away from home while in Austin. Only a short drive to downtown area we were able to enjoy the piece and quiet of the neighborhood as well as the many excellent restaurant and cafe options in the area without having to deal with crowded downtown.   The house and accompanying cottage were beautifully decorated with true to period furniture and art, but with all necessary modern upgrades and plenty spacious for our group of 6.  All aspects as advertised and Brett was attentive and quick to respond to all of our questions.  Great house, great host, great time. "
3991678,24973069,2015-01-04,24868054,Shane,Good house within walking distance of Zilker.  Stayed there with my two little kids and had a great time.  
3991678,26718772,2015-02-17,27380771,Blake,The house is in good shape and easily accessible by walk to Zilker Park and Barton Springs.  Loved our time.
3991678,28169299,2015-03-19,26217033,Tony,Great place in a beautiful residential neighborhood. Very nice experience!
3991678,28414890,2015-03-23,9681697,Sarah,"This was the perfect house for SXSW. The location could not have been any better. It was spacious for the 4 of us staying there. It was so easy to check in and out. We appreciated the late check out on the last day.
I appreciated that it had everything we may need. Loved the little patio as well. "
3991678,29342556,2015-04-06,25349962,Luis,"Erica was a great host with all her team, she gave us answer for all the different things we needed for our arrivals house was great as in the pictures "
3991678,33106795,2015-05-25,16382388,Sascha,"Place was as described - we didn't have any real interaction with our ""hosts"", as they're a rental company, but it was a comfortable and conveniently located place to stay. Had a little trouble with long hold time one of the two times I had to call them, but no big complaints at all. I'd recommend this place. "
3991678,36343581,2015-06-27,5077735,Nicholas,"Erica was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The keyless entry got automatically reset, and all it took was a 2 minute call to have the updated code. A great place to stay for a family and so close to Zilker makes this an amazing place!"
3991678,48713331,2015-09-28,796355,Mette-Marie,"The apartment is very spacious and clean and quiet -- conveniently located about 1 mile from all the hustle and bustle of South Lamar Blvd. The house is managed by a rental company, so it lacks some of the homey touches that normally comes with the Air bnb experience (no Shiners in the fridge! That's a first for Texas! :) ) -- but it was nevertheless pretty perfect accommodation for our purposes. All communication and check-in/out ran completely smoothly."
8814298,52191515,2015-10-26,47200325,Win,"Great experience, very nice condo with incredible view over the lake and of South Austin. Location was perfect for spending most of our time downtown, and was within walking distance of everything we did"
8814298,52357158,2015-10-28,23330002,Dipan,"Charles apartment was in a great location, super nice apartment. The apartment is full of personal stuff so there isn't much room for your luggage (for example closet was packed and bikes in the bedroom, shoes organized in living room. In the bathroom all of his personal stuff along with his personal motivation posters were everywhere. 

Great apartment if you don't mind living with all the personal stuff. "
7364825,46314334,2015-09-09,2694243,Sade,"Mimi was very welcoming and had some gifts waiting for us. The house is as pictured and it is cozy. Although the post mentioned that an air mattress was available, Mimi and her son helped set up a daybed for us instead. We were very grateful for that. Location is 10 minutes from the Airport and from downtown Austin.

As the very first guests, we requested help with a leak on the first day and Mimi was very responsive and took care of things right away. The is a small kitchen stocked with basic supplies and that came in handy. The kids enjoyed watching their shows and loved having Wi-Fi. 

All in all, was a good stay and Mimi even sent us the best cookies in town from Tiff's Treats! "
7364825,49648958,2015-10-05,10332446,Rosemary,"Mimi was a fantastic host! Her place was big and super cozy! The bigger of the two rooms had the biggest bed I've ever seen, it was very comfy! The place is about a $7 uber driver from downtown which was away from all the traffic and craziness that comes with staying downtown. She had some drinks in the fridge for us as well as these awesome muffins! I would definitely be looking out  for  Mimi on my next Austin trip!"
7364825,52080282,2015-10-26,44108193,Ken,"Staying at God Bless TX was my first time with Airbnb and the experience was excellent.  A childhood friend and I came to Austin to see the Formula One race and wanted to find a place to stay that was between the airport and downtown Austin.  God Bless TX was a perfect location.  We were there for five nights and arrived very late the first night.  Mimi provided great instructions for accessing the house and when we arrived very late the first night, we found a stalked refrigerator along with fruit and other goodies on the kitchen table - this was a wonderful surprise that we enjoyed throughout out stay.  The place was very clean and had everything we needed including a washer and dryer.  The beds were great and we slept well.  Mimi even provided us with coffee and cream for the mornings.  It was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend God Bless TX to anyone visiting Austin!"

3543410,23616873,2014-12-06,24379451,Alex,"The Eva street retreat was everything we could have wanted and more. Barbara and Robert  were great host and included every amenity you could imagine ( wine, beer, coffee, etc.). The area was ideal and located just behind a very happening section of Austin and just minutes via car or cab from downtown. They included a binder full of local activities and places to (email hidden)utch. This was our first airbnb experience and we would definitely stay here again next time we come to Austin."

When we entered the room she had wine, beer, and mixed nuts ready which was just what we needed after a long drive. And not to mention the room was gorgeous. Thank you Barbara for making us feel welcome. It was a pleasure for us to stay there and the location was amazing. We experienced NO traffic and could walk everywhere and was a short drive to anywhere we wanted to go. Hope to stay at their lovely air bnb again! "

I'm actually glad we did, we got to explore another area of Austin and Barbara's place is really cozy and neat. She also provided us with a guide for restaurants to check out in the area, which was very helpful.  Overall, wonderful stay and highly recommend!"
3543410,25984340,2015-01-31,2788857,Jody,"We highly recommend this quite and comfortable retreat right off South Congress. Adjustable tempurpedic bed, well-equipped suite and bathroom, along with thoughtful touches made us wish we were staying another day. We look forward to staying here on our next trip to Austin. 
"
3543410,26135472,2015-02-04,14196419,Scott,"Barbara and Robert were very good about communicating with me, and were very prompt to respond. I was welcomed with a big smile (and a few friendly sniffs from Charlie!) and was given every comfort in the accommodation. 

The room was even better in person than in the photos - certainly better than staying at some generic hotel. Great thought was put into every detail, including virtually every possible amenity in the bathroom. The Shiner Bock in the fridge was tempting, but I wasn't feeling well after travel, so I had to forgo it.

I can't wait to stay again!"
3543410,31154151,2015-05-02,32214638,Hal,"Barbara provided snacks, Topo Chico, beer, wine, coffee and tea.  Her guest room is perfectly appointed - a calm oasis in the trees one block from all the action on South Congress."

Great Restaurents and shopping and most of all we didn't have to find park when we were picking them up or exploring with then! Barbara and Robert were More then Welcoming, so attentive to their needs and really went out of their way to make us feel comfortable renting and our guests feel at home. Apparently the Bed was really great too."

Excellent comfort too!  The mattress, pillows and linens were outstanding and the quality rivals our own home!  The room has a microwave and a small refrigerator but no table. However, there is plenty of seating and love the secretary's desk!  The wifi connection is excellent also.   "
3543410,52247931,2015-10-27,38297341,Joe,"Great rental.  Bob and Babs are considerate hosts.  We had wine, beer, filtered cold water, and a clean room waiting for us when we arrived.

It is an attached spare room that is blocked off so for us having a baby we worried about our noise level bothering the owners.  The room is cozy and the bed is an adjustable tempurpedic mattress.

The true value of this place is location.  You can walk up and down congress or even walk down to the lake by downtown.  Great time staying here and we had a blast."

Il est certainement préférable pour moi de laisser un commentaire en français pour tous mes compatriotes intéressés pour visiter/vivre à Austin. Austin est une ville extraordinaire ! J'ai beaucoup de souvenir dans cette ville et les gens sont agréablement accueillant. A aucun moment je me suis ennuyé.

Je vous recommande très sérieusement cette maison. Situé à 10 minutes en voiture du centre ville et facile d'accès au bus (à 3min de l'arrêt), vous êtes rapidement au coeur de la ville d'Austin. La maison est très propre et elle inspire la joie et la bonne humeur. Toujours une présence dans la famille pour ne pas se sentir seul ! Une maison vraiment agréable avec des gens très extraordinaire !

I'm so sorry if I did it in French, but I don't know if I can thank you enough for everything Linda ! Thank you so much !! Thank you Lia for her help too ! I'll never forget my US trip during this summer ! My roommate Delphine and David were very nice too !! I'll never forget you !! It's thanks to you if I improved my English during these 3 months. Sorry if I made mistakes in my text.

I'm waiting for you in France !! See you soon !!"

I had such an amazing experience staying at Linda's and Lia's house that I didnt want to leave! The house was great and welcoming, I felt like I was home. LInda was so nice, kind and the most gracious host you could ever imagine! I highly reccommend her home and I dont think it is possible to find a better experience. Thank you Linda and Lia :)"
338117,2627666,2012-10-16,2270398,Florence,"Linda and Lia have a beautiful house not too far from Downtown Austin. The room is very comfortable, cozy and clean.

338117,2729157,2012-10-27,3562053,Rick,"I went to Austin for the Film Festival in October and stayed for a full week. I needed a place to stay where I was close to the Film Festival events because I didn't want to rent a car. Linda's house was a perfect choice for several reasons. Her house is just two miles from downtown. More importantly, this was simply one of the most enjoyable visits I've ever had when traveling away from home. In fact, Linda made me feel so comfortable I forgot that I was staying with someone I just met. Linda is a wonderful host and her house has all the amenities you will need including full kitchen, private bathroom, washer and dryer, wireless Internet and flat screen TV. This was my first experience with Airbnb and I would most definitely recommend staying at Linda's house when visiting Austin.  "
338117,2912042,2012-11-19,2503007,Larry,"We  were making plans to go to Austin for the Formula 1 race In November, 2012. . While making arrangements we found that the hotels were doing an ""event number"" on the rates, as in an $80 motel room for $350.  A friend referred us to AirBnB.  We were someone apprehensive due to a prior internet booking that was not successful. Upon arriving in Austin at Linda's home, we immediately knew that we had made a right decision  in booking with  Lia and Linda. They were gracious and helpful beyond any expectations. The home was made available to us, including use of the dining and living space as well as the kitchen and laundry facilities.  Linda helped with ideas for getting around in the city, especially since this was our first trip to Austin.  She also offered  aid with transportation during the weekend when she was not at work.  There were also two other guests in the home sharing the second bedroom.  They were brothers who had come from Vancouver, BC, Canada to also attend the race and some of the social activities in downtown connected with the race event .  We had some quite pleasant interaction with the young men, as we had the same common interests to do with the race, as well as talking about our Canadian travels. An interesting side note to our stay was that we discovered Linda not only knew the only other people that we had visited with upon our arrival in Austin, but she had done some joint work projects with the woman and her husband. The stay ended with Linda selecting a local restaurant where the five of us had a great evening prior to our departure. Should we have a return trip to Austin in our future, I'm sure that we would certainly enjoy booking with Linda once again. "

338117,7807881,2013-10-04,7111143,Stef,"I had a wonderful time staying with Linda for almost seven weeks. Her house is very comfortable, cosy and clean. I felt home from the first minute on becuase Linda is such a great and lovely person. She is very thoughtful and helped me whenever I needed something. Beyond that she made the house completely available to me: use of kitchen, living room, perfect working internet connection, watching great movies and series on netflix :) and many more. Linda's house is a perfect choice: It's close to downtown and UT, there are several bus stopps close by and the neighborhood is very quiet. I had such a great time in Austin with Linda and Anya and wanna thank both of them from the bottom of my heart! I'll never forget my stay because it was just wonderful with you, ladies!! If you ever come to Germany, visit me! I truly recommend everyone to stay at Linda's house because you definitly will have a wonderful time! "

Linda is smart, funny, knowledgeable, caring and great company. Her home is faultless. I will miss lounging on the sofa watching our episodes and eating (me) chocolate. ........

Linda took the time to show me Austin, introduce me to great people, and make suggestions for research outside the library. So, thank you Linda for being you! And for welcoming me into your lovely home. I hope one day to do the same for you (and Chihuahua Charlie)....."

The house is beautiful, cozy and clean. It was really close to downtown making it easy to take the bus around the city. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a little piece of home away from home!   "
338117,28115893,2015-03-18,9051841,Ditte,"Could not have felt more welcome than by Lindas generous way of being a host.

Really great neighborhood with a lot of small, cosy diners and cafes with good coffee, organic food and free wifi. "
338117,40244059,2015-07-29,37088104,Keith,"We are having a very good experience with Airbnb as this is our first use. Our host Linda, the home (accommodations) and agreement process are great! Linda is a ""Super Host"" for a very good reason!!!"
338117,47655386,2015-09-21,37676468,Mikael,"Linda is an excellent host. She was very accommodating and wanted to ensure that I had the best time. The house was ideal and had plenty of space for someone with an extended stay. The place is a short drive to downtown, so it's incredibly easy to get to the hot spots in Austin. It's worth noting that there is a small dog at the house."
338117,49630149,2015-10-05,27159177,Alex,Linda was great!  Had coffee and breakfast ready every morning! Very friendly and helpful on local amusements.

937157,3782314,2013-03-14,46031,Demir & Carey,"We stayed with Raul for SXSW - he could NOT have been more pleasant, helpful, and fun.  He even picked us up at the airport since it was on his way...  just a really great guy!"
937157,3835897,2013-03-19,5077528,Kristian,"Raul's condo is very nice, clean, big, quiet and on a perfect spot very near downtown Austin. We were an official band that was participating on the SXSW festival 2013 and we all stayed in the condo in six persons and the condo was very spacious and comfortable for all of us. There is a bus station 100 meters from the condo and a very good Mexican restaurant, grocery shops and many other shops. Our stay at the condo was very pleasant and everything was as we agreed with Raul, and he was very receptive and gave us instructions on everything we asked, he even picked us up on the airport. We highly recommend Raul's condo and hope that some day when we will return to Austin to stay again in his nice condo! Thumbs up for Raul from Kristian Terzic Band from Croatia!"
937157,10935612,2014-03-14,9467739,Thomas,Raul's townhouse was perfect for our one week stay in Austin for SXSW. The townhouse is situated 1 mile from Downtown in a beautiful and quiet environment. It was very clean and homey. We were 3 people and would stay here again!
937157,21197908,2014-10-13,3568270,Chris,Raul was nothing short of absolutely amazing. His place was very clean and he even provided extra house warming gifts for us. One of the best hosts we have ever had! The area is near everything you need and the place is top notch!
937157,28066931,2015-03-17,10268539,Christine,"Overall great experience with Raul. Good communication beforehand and tour around the apartment on arrival. Apartment really clean and tidy. Only downside was that the third bedroom had a daybed rather than a proper bed, so this wasn't used."
937157,28394998,2015-03-23,27314467,Adam,5 out of 5!! Great experience all around.  Very prompt replies.  The accommodations were exactly as advertise.  Very clean and organized.  Would definitely stay here again! 
937157,29868539,2015-04-13,10868224,Jessica,"From the minute we arrived we were provided with special amenities to make us feel welcome and to also take care of anything we forgot to bring. Honestly, it was like we brought our home with us and I can't say that about every place I stay. Raul was such a gracious host from beginning to end and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"
937157,35659418,2015-06-21,5072349,Lisa,"I was here with a group of 5 and the condo worked perfectly for a getaway weekend! It was very clean and comfortable, with space for us to spread out. We Uber-ed from Raul's place all around downtown and the location was very convenient and close. Also, it's about a 10 minute walk to the Lady Bird lake river trail! Raul was attentive and left the place spotless - we'd definitely stay here again!"
937157,45862029,2015-09-06,20737941,Ellyse,"The townhouse was immaculate when we arrived. 
Plenty of fresh towels, bedding, and he even left a ""welcome box"" stocked with a welcome note with the wifi password and other suggestions to help with our stay and  snacks and toiletries. He left beer, eggs and bacon in the fridge and told us to help ourselves to anything else!!
The amenities were extensive and place was very inviting. 
Perfect location, easy to get in and out of, plenty of parking, including 2 garage parking spaces. 
We used Uber all weekend to and from downtown and never had more than an $8 fare. 
There were 3 couples that stayed together all weekend and there was plenty of space, ample bathroom space and the sleeping accommodations were great!! 
Worth every penny and would go back and stay again!!! "
937157,49608330,2015-10-05,18117617,Justin,"We were a group of 8 mid 20's to mid 30's adults in town for ACL.  To say the least our standards are well established and set fairly high.  We will definitely be staying here again!  The house is awesome, very clean, and was well stocked.  It's perfectly located close to a grocery store, pharmacy and eating/drinking places without feeling like you are in the middle of the chaos.  It was a pretty easy bike ride to Zilker (approx 3 miles) and a super quick commute to Rainey and places to eat.  Raul was very nice and super responsive to any questions that we had.  Seriously wish we could give this place more than 5 stars!!"
937157,50580851,2015-10-12,18210718,Brandon,"5 Stars
Great house and great location! Raul went out of his way to make this home extra accommodating with a full tour of the house and a box filled with essentials (shampoo, soap, etc.) in case we left anything at home. I would highly recommend this awesome Austin townhouse.

2446569,11025570,2014-03-17,12760748,Nathan,"I was in Austin for SXSW so I spent relatively little time in the room - I was only really there for the shower and bed - and that's exactly what I got. Carlos was very nice and hospitable, considerate. Definitely a good option for anyone looking for an inexpensive and simple but nice room. "
4104867,21230372,2014-10-13,15318296,Daniel,"Our experience was excellent.  First and foremost, was the host's hospitality.  She was pleasant, funny, enjoyable and helpful in our needs while visiting.  She went above and beyond to be sure we had what we needed.  The house is in a residential area, very close (maybe 3/4 mile) to Zilker Park - which was perfect for us, as we were there for ACL music fest.  The bedroom is upstairs, with a nearby bath.  Bed was very (website hidden) worked well, plus ceiling fan also.  Bathroom perfect.  All spotless.  Would recommend without reservation, and go back myself.  Randal was fantastic."
4104867,28383400,2015-03-23,8226656,Miriam,"Randal is an amazing host. She  makes an effort to make your visit a pleasant experience and she certainly goes not just one extra mile for her guests. Welcoming, hospitable, warm, a person who takes a true interest in her guests but also gives them the space that the guests need and want best describe her.

Thank you Randal for taking us to breakfast tacos! Loved the experience. 

Would I stay at Randal's place in Austin again. Absolutely! 
Best host ever in a nice and safe area of town nearby Zilker Park.

"
4104867,49760940,2015-10-06,1855016,Tatiana,"Randal is a great hostess. I had a great time at her place. She was very flexible with the check-in and check-out which is really helpful when traveling. The bed was really comfortable and everything was super clean.
I was there for ACL and this is a great place to be, especially if you are going to Zilker Park.  It is not a big walk and I felt it was safe.
I felt like I was visiting a relative, she made me feel at home and was really helpful and kind to help me figure out my way around town. 
I will return next year for sure!"
4104867,50429837,2015-10-12,10954049,Jeremy,Randal was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. She made us feel welcomed and was always available by phone if I had any questions. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!
1744936,8067975,2013-10-14,9266477,Paula,"This place was amazing!  My friends and I stayed for a weekend and it seriously didn't want to leave. The location was great, close to restaurants and markets on South Congress and maybe about five minutes from downtown. The house was really charming and had a lot of great amenities. Definitely will be staying here again!"
1744936,9773008,2014-01-09,10105743,Michael,"Nice place, good location, and Erica was extremely helpful!"
1744936,10714502,2014-03-04,5827299,Morgan,The house was great! There were six of us in the house and we were all very comfortable throughout the entire stay. The location is great- close to the shops on Congress and there is a lovely park right next door. I would definitely recommend this house!
1744936,13071842,2014-05-19,11549641,Caitlin,Very helpful and accommodating! Terrific home and location. Thanks for a great weekend stay!
1744936,13407691,2014-05-27,12741771,Katie,"This is a great house in a very convenient location. We had 6 people stay for 4 nights, and everyone enjoyed their stay. Erica was very easy to work with and was prompt in responding to our questions. I would definitely recommend this house. "
1744936,13874307,2014-06-07,712595,Cary,"We really enjoyed staying at 515 Congress. Erica from TurnKey is an outstanding communicator and seemed able to predict our every need.

The house is very nice with a new kitchen, great washer and dryer and decent wifi internet. It reflects the owner's effort to create a delightful place to stay.

My only disappointment was that it was impossible to sample all of the restaurants and shops in the neighborhood in our short week there. The ones we got to like Vespaio and Hopdoddy were really good.

Whether you need milk or champagne, check out the exceptional RiverCity Market, which has wonderful surprises for beer, wine and soda drinkers alike."
1744936,14603443,2014-06-23,13594917,Morgan,"We were so pleased with the house! It looks exactly like the pictures and Erica provided everything we needed to ensure a smooth check-in/check-out. There were 7 girls staying here for a bachelorette weekend and it was perfect! Plenty of space and sharing one shower wasn't even a problem! :) 

We could walk to South Congress (only a few blocks away) and had no trouble taking cabs to Rainey Street..etc.. I suggest downloading the Uber X or Lyft App. Super easy. 

Erica and her team were very accessible and were able to answer my questions leading up to our stay in addition to checking in with us on our first day to make sure we had everything we needed. The ice machine and water didn't work on the refrigerator but we just bought ice and water and it didn't really matter. We didn't try the grill. :) 

I would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking to stay close to the action in a clean home with a great host! :) "
1744936,16660571,2014-07-31,13836394,Deborah,The house was amazing and in a great neighborhood!  Ericka responded to every question I had very quickly!  Would definitely stay here again.
1744936,17837342,2014-08-18,9658834,Lorin,"This rental property was perfectly located right off of the main drag of South Congress. Wonderful shops and restaurants to explore. I appreciated the timely response every time I called Turnkey, and they did their best to accommodate the group and to provide great service when some issues with a broken toilet and ice machine came up.
"
1744936,20317839,2014-09-27,13599964,Alex,"My time in Travis heights was great! This house is amazing. Great location, awesome neighborhood vibes, and minutes from everything!  Couldn't ask for a better experience, and I highly recommend this spot!"
1744936,22328341,2014-11-03,8917264,Dave,"We stayed here for Formula 1/Halloween weekend in Austin, and it was a very cost effective housing option. The house was very clean and tidy when we arrived, but there were a few house maintenance problems that we encountered. For example the lights in the bathroom didn't work, and we had to get our own toilet paper. It was also very hard to have eight people stay here with one bathroom."
1744936,22642060,2014-11-11,8609760,Kate,"The house was a perfect spot for us to enjoy Austin and walk to the Fun Fun Fun Fest at Auditorium Shores. It's incredibly convenient to all the shops and restaurants on South Congress, not to mention a beautiful, quiet home. Erica and her colleagues were very responsive and accommodating, even checking in to make sure we got into the house ok and to see if we needed anything. We had a fantastic experience and we are already planning on renting the house again for next year!"
1744936,22899941,2014-11-17,340181,Rodney,House was great - looks exactly like the photos listed and is quite spacious. Its less than a five minute walk from South Congress - very close to a great neighborhood. The management company was very responsive to the couple of questions we had. 
1744936,23215142,2014-11-25,1545257,Isuru,"Turnkey reservations were very good about communicating all the necessary information we needed before we arrived.  Using a keycode door was a lot easier than trying to pickup / handoff a key.  The house itself was very comfortable and easy to feel at home.  Even though there are 3 bedrooms, remember there is only 1 bathroom, but we were able to manage just fine.  A few issues came up during the stay, but Turnkey responded promptly to our inquiries.  Very convenient location just off of South Congress Ave.  Would definitely consider staying at another Turnkey managed location in the future."
1744936,23762727,2014-12-09,1324410,E,The house was comfortable.
1744936,23992498,2014-12-16,2908072,Molly,"Listing is accurate and check-in/check-out was smooth and easy (early and late, respectively, were offered, which was great). It's handled through an agency, which is less personal than other airbnb stays I've had, but also then more professional. Some people might want to know that the bathroom is pretty darn small/cramped and hasn't been re-done, and one of the bedrooms (the one with twin beds) is more of an alcove with pocket doors and no closet or dresser. Great kitchen, lovely deck with grill, open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen great for hanging out. Very clean and well-stocked with basics (toilet paper, paper towels, toiletries, coffee filters, oil, salt, etc.) and kitchenware. Would definitely stay in again when I'm in Austin."
1744936,24295728,2014-12-25,16632517,Makena,"We loved spending the holidays in this house. It's literally 3 blocks from the main area of South Congress, which made last-minute holiday shopping and stepping out for a quick meal easy. 

The door code made it simple for 6+ people to come and go as we please, without having to pass around a key. The bathroom is quite small for that many people to share, but we managed just fine. 

Overall, I'd highly recommend this property. "
1744936,24839905,2015-01-03,7807725,Charles Robert,"Great house!  Entry was easy, house was perfectly sized and appointed.  Great customer service throughout from the TurnKey team.  Will definitely stay again next time I'm in Austin!"
1744936,25023764,2015-01-05,23630698,Elena,"Neighborhood was adorable and very close to busy South Congress. House was perfect for what we needed--clean, cozy and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay here. "
1744936,25538806,2015-01-19,6106785,Swapna,"This was a great experience. The house was very clean and neat when we got there and we had no trouble getting in. After we got into the house, I got a phone call from the host to confirm that everything was OK and we got into the house. The house is in a great neighborhood, a stone's throw away from South Congress, which has tons of good food and bars, but also close to a couple of parks which were good for morning runs and the like. "
1744936,26305740,2015-02-09,25567696,Jillian,"Stayed in this house during a reunion weekend with some friends from all over the country. Communication between myself and the host was easy and timely. I received all the necessary info on time, had no problems with access to the house or wifi, and staff members even called me a little after the check-in time to be sure everything was running smoothly.  It was also a big bonus to have a door code without worrying about a key. House was clean and there were plenty of linens and supplies. As advertised, this house is a very quick walk to all the shops, restaurants and bars/music venues on South Congress. We never had trouble finding something to do and didn't have to worry about driving or parking. I would definitely stay here again!"
1744936,27055535,2015-02-24,6673300,Geoff,The house was great and located perfectly to enjoy SoCo. Nice layout and super clean. Checkin and checkout were a breeze. Would stay here next time if available. 
1744936,27317817,2015-03-02,970362,Jessica,"The house was the perfect accomodations for a four night stay which was also a reunion for a wedding. The bedrooms were great for us, a couple of married couples (one with a baby) and two people who came solo and slept in the room with the twin beds. The living room area was a great gathering spot, and we felt at ease and at home. It was an incredibly easy transaction and we'd definitely rent out this house again. The location was absolutely perfect, next to a creek/walking path, and we walked down to South Congress often for food and shopping. The cab fares to downtown were also cheap. If it hadn't been freezing temperatures outside while we were there we also would have taken advantage of the back patio I'm sure. Great location, great house for an Austin stay!"
1744936,28116012,2015-03-18,8937448,Jochen,"We had a great time here during our SXSW stay. Wonderful house, great neighbourhood, 30 min walking distance to the Austin Convention Center, 5 min from SoCo.

Everything worked just fine, no problems with checkin / checkout.

Would definitely rent the house again."
1744936,30763567,2015-04-27,27292141,Kathy,The house looked exactly like the pictures!  We had a group of eight girls and we loved the space.  It was walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants on SoCo (definitely go to South Congress Cafe on the corner and order the carrot cake french toast!).  They automatically gave us a late check-out because it was available.  I would definitely book this spot again!
1744936,31890974,2015-05-11,27618728,Kay,The house was prefect.
1744936,33855889,2015-06-01,33859680,John,"Booking was extremely smooth, fully automated (which I love), and access to the property was easy and straightforward. Strong and easy to access wifi at this property, and had a small Galaxy pad with area info etc. (which we really didn't need, but was a nice touch). Couldn't be in a better area for Austin easy to get anywhere either by walking or via a 3 minute wait Uber pickup.

Nice common areas, comfortable couches and functional kitchen, and very relaxing patio. The only downside to this property is the very small sized single (email hidden) worked great for us (3 people, 1 guy and 2 girls) but more than that would likely be cramped. Beds are comfortable and nice starter soap, shampoo, etc. provided, sheets could be a wee bit nicer, but I'm sort of picky about that...ymmv.

Overall, fantastic property, recommend highly!"
1744936,34625138,2015-06-10,17728340,Nicole,We were 4 girls on a long weekend getaway and this house was perfect. The location can't be beat ... walkable to SoCo restaurants and shops as well as downtown. The property management company was real easy to work with and gave us early checkin/ late checkout which helped a ton with our different flight times. Very comfortable house. Would stay here again! 
1744936,35073789,2015-06-15,29711281,Athena,"House was very clean and in a great location. The door code made access a cinch. Because it's a company and not a private owner, it's more tightly regulated, which makes things a little bet less flexible. However if you have more complicated requests/questions calling Turnkey directly is easy, and they seem happy to help however they can."
1744936,35793378,2015-06-22,1160475,Sean,"Very nice stay. House was very clean and inviting, Erica gave us detailed info on everything, it was perfect. There were zero surprises, and we were very satisfied with everything about our stay!"
1744936,37369730,2015-07-06,36036736,Kenneth,"The house is in a great location.  It is walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and music venues.  it is also in a quiet neighborhood at night.  But we had two major problems. First, the couch bed was broken.  After the first night, one couple slept on couch cushions on the floor rather than the couch bed.  Second, the kitchen sink was clogged to the point of not draining at all.  after the first night, we all used the kitchen sink to brush our teeth, washed our hands and faces, etc...  I called the morning after we arrived to report these problems.  the person I spoke with promised me that someone would come out that day (July 2nd) to fix the problems, but no one ever arrived or called after that.  I realize that it might be difficult to get people to do the work so close to July 4th, but don't make promises you are not going to fulfill.  I really think we deserve a partial refund.  
"
1744936,38126137,2015-07-13,32274662,Christine,We had minimal contact with Airbnb but all interactions were pleasant and helpful.
1744936,41740527,2015-08-09,30364680,Caitlin,The house was great and actually bigger than it seemed in the listing. There was a park nearby. The location was close to SoCo but we didn't walk because it was August and hot! I would say about half a mile or a bit more to the action. There were a few minor issues but overall it was fine for us. The location is really what you're paying for and the house is an older rental with all that goes along with that. The neighborhood was beautiful.
1744936,46876644,2015-09-14,32220529,Samantha,We had a wonderful stay.  The house was exactly as it's pictured and was very clean.  Amazing location within 5-7 minutes walking distance to South Congress.  Would definitely stay there again!
1744936,47677896,2015-09-21,7509473,Jim,The house was exactly like described and was very clean upon arrival. Great location walking distance to SoCo and close to everywhere else in Austin.  
1744936,48896542,2015-09-29,32021135,Kate,"My friends and I came down for a long birthday weekend not knowing much about Austin. We chose this house because it said it slept 8, we had 6, it was 5 blocks off (website hidden)., and the price was right. I also knew that the property was owned by a Rental Company so I didn't expect the personal touch or welcoming additions to the property. I was exactly right on all accounts. 6 of us slept comfortably, if we did have 8 then that would have been on a not very comfortable pull out couch. The location couldn't have been better. It was a quick walk to the center of S. Congress St.  and a quick Uber to anywhere we wanted to go. The house had all the basics but no extras. Oh, and only one bathroom for 6-8 people. But we were hardly ever there so that didn't matter much.

I would highly recommend this property if you are going to Austin to have fun and not just hang out around the house. We loved staying here and I would come back again."
1744936,51425331,2015-10-20,33827983,Cammen,"This is a cute house in a great Austin location—walkable to shops, restaurants, and bars. It even parallels a walking path. Erica was prompt in addressing any questions and concerns we had. "

8616234,50550555,2015-10-12,26180727,Zack,Enrique was a great host and has an awesome place! I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to visit Austin. The pictures didn't do the apartment justice on how nice it is. Extremely clean and modern apartment. We were able to fit 4 very comfortably and didn't feel like we were crammed in any way. Right in the middle of a very cool spot in Austin that just can't be beat. We were able to walk to everything (tons of food no matter what time of day or night available ) and downtown is a short drive away. It was perfect for ACL and would be for any stay in Austin! Enrique was readily available to meet any of our needs and very prompt. I can't say enough  good things about our stay! 
8616234,51244655,2015-10-18,17051581,Jason,"Very nice location! The place is spacious, nice and clean. Enrique was very accommodating and courteous. Thanks for everything! "

8616234,53291016,2015-11-07,47452831,Melyssa,"The listing was precise. Henry has a clean, comfortable 1BR apt in a great location- just a few minutes from downtown or SoCo. His apt had all the amenities, including a nice gym which we used. There is a pool too but we didn't have the weather for it. Communication was easy and he was quick to respond to little questions we had. He was there when we arrived and we had to depart at 6:30am but that wasn't an issue for him either.  The bedroom had a comfortable and and my son slept on the sleep sofa. The apt was VERY clean- a definite plus. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Plus there was secure parking which was a plus as well. One final plus: a Starbuck's across the street!"
1530147,14067239,2014-06-10,15351378,Sara,"My friend and I stayed here and we absolutely loved it! It was in perfect condition and had such great amenities. The pool was fantastic! I enjoyed my stay so much. I look forward to many more trips to Austin, only with the hope I can rent this house again. This is seriously the cutest house ever. Stacy was so sweet and accommodating. "
1530147,14674154,2014-06-23,1708542,Vitché,The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1530147,20734075,2014-10-05,653849,Loren,"It is very obvious that Stacy GETS hospitality. She was quick to respond to all of my questions, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The Bourbon on the dining table was a beautiful touch. The house is nicely decorated and located walking distance from South Congress (shopping, restaurants, etc.) where you can take a photo in front of Jo's famous ""I love you so much"" wall. We had six woman in the house and it was more than comfortable for all of us. It also didn't hurt that there were 2 bathrooms! I would definitely stay at Stacy's place again."
1530147,30202319,2015-04-19,16591785,Jp,Amazing host. She left us an amazing breakfast and was very responsive to texts. Her house was beautiful spacious and in a great location.
1530147,30675540,2015-04-26,28304680,Jenny,"Our stay at Stacy's home was great! We were in town for a bachelorette party and the house was the perfect choice for teh group. Stacy was incredibly welcoming, leaving us a basket of helpful tips and goodies for our stay...including some champagne and mimosas to kick things off right!

The house was adorable with more than enough space and outdoor ares to relax. The pool was so nice to have on a hot weekend in Texas. The neighborhood was also great. It was a little oasis in the city that was close to everything. I would definitely recommend Stacy's home to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin!"
1530147,31167718,2015-05-03,26873355,Sarah,Neighborhood and home were great and close to everything!  Stacey was very welcoming and greeted us with champagne and snacks.  House was cozy and adequately stocked with all kitchen necessities.  Would definitely recommend her and would stay again when we visit Austin!
1530147,32322670,2015-05-17,5716182,Lindsay,"Stacy was a wonderful host for me and my ladies! She left us a bottle of champagne for the occasion, and was generous enough to offer us breakfast staples in the fridge. She was extremely accessible and answered any and all my questions beforehand and during my stay. And she was extra communicative about the pool cleaning, and any other details about the house. And the house! What a beaut. Stacy keeps her home very clean and wonderfully decorated. It was the perfect space for us 6 ladies for the weekend. Near to everything in the South Congress area, but tucked away in pretty Travis Heights. I would highly recommend staying here."
1530147,33073581,2015-05-25,14279146,Alayne,"Exceptional! Stacy is the quintessential hostess. Before I had even booked, she was responding to my messages almost immediately. In the weeks before our stay, she answered each question with patience and provided multiple excellent recommendations. Stacy was one step ahead of us throughout our stay as well. She left a welcome breakfast and basket and even hung a ""Celebrate"" banner in honor of the bachelorette party I was throwing. Her home is beautifully decorated - the pictures may not even do it justice - and comfortable. Our group of six fit with ease and particularly enjoyed the pool and screened-in porch. Finally, Travis Heights was central to everywhere we wanted to go. It's only a $7 - 10 Uber to South Congress, W. 6th, and Rainey Street, where some of the best eating, drinking, and shopping in Austin can be had. I would book this property again without hesitation and am a little worried that Stacy's generosity of spirit and expertise might have ruined future AirBnB experiences for me :)"
1530147,37205772,2015-07-05,20915789,Jana,The place was better than described. Host left a great welcome basket with lists of things to do places to shop and house rules. Perfect and easy would stay here again!
1530147,38828409,2015-07-19,20968637,Jessica,"Our stay in Travis Heights was perfect! The house was stunning. We had 6 girls and there was more than enough space for us. Stacy was a super host and even left us a welcome basket and a bucket of towels, sunscreen, and bug spray to use outside at the pool. The location was perfect for us: the house was just a 10 minute cab to downtown restaurants and bars, but the neighborhood was quaint and quiet. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Stacy!"
1530147,40251220,2015-07-29,20260006,Jeff,"Great time in a Travis Heights. Kids enjoyed the pool and BBQs during some hot days.  Great location, and great host."
1530147,46040219,2015-09-07,42431663,Alexandra,We had a fabulous weekend at Stacy's home! She made us feel right at home. The house and pool were exactly what we expected - very clean and nice! Location was perfect to SOCO and downtown. My friends and I would definitely stay here again :) 
945676,3784225,2013-03-14,4213482,Mark,"A comfy apartment with an excellent host. Josh was an excellent host, with excellent taste, providing us with a map of things to see and do around Austin. The apartment was just a stone's throw away from the bus, which made it very convenient."
945676,3988079,2013-04-01,2388260,Luke,Josh's place was very clean and comfortable.  The complex was very quiet and in a good central location. Good communication throughout the process.  I would definitely stay there again.  
945676,4396348,2013-05-02,4642874,Daniel,"Josh gives you HIS WHOLE PLACE TO STAY. Awesome! 

Pros: You get the whole place to yourself; free wireless and TV; good parking; easy to book and Josh is super super easy to deal with; small pet friendly;close to 35 freeway

Cons: Imagine a nice super 8 hotel chain, this what the building is like; Also not in the most desirable location; I wouldnt recommend (and we didnt) walk around there at night; Need to drive everywhere;

Overall good experience; Josh was easy and great, the apartment itself was good, it was just the location and having to drive everywhere. No biggy. ;)"
945676,4455216,2013-05-06,1768609,Ruby,"Josh's place was very clean, and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. He was very prompt and communicative when it came to dropping off keys and showing us his place. Had a great time in Austin and couldn't do it without Josh!"
945676,4748871,2013-05-23,6137159,Jane,Our stay at Josh's apartment was great. We were in Austin for our daughter's graduation so did not spend much time at the apartment. Josh was very easy for my daughter to get in touch with and get keys.  His apartment is close to everything and has easy access. Great for 2 people. The cost was very affordable and for that I rated him at 5 stars!
945676,5024937,2013-06-08,288384,Brandon,"Josh's place was exactly what I needed on my trip to Austin, thank you Josh!"
945676,5315229,2013-06-24,6198975,Cj,"Excellent host and couldn't ask for more in terms of the apartment. It was clean, centrally located, and felt like a home away from home.Free parking was very convenient since that isn't always the case with some Austin apartments. Josh was very communicative and friendy, which is one reason why I give him and his apartment 5 stars. Will certainly stay here again my next trip to Austin!"
945676,5992793,2013-07-25,7053046,Chris,"A nice apartment. The air was on when I got in so it was cool inside. The bed was very comfortable. I thought I would be able to get some work done at the desk provided, but the desk was very uncomfortable for me. The desk and office chair were a bit cheap and they weren't great to sit at for any extended period of time.

The TV with Netflix and HBO GO were a nice bonus. Although I would suggest turning off the air when watching TV, otherwise you won't be able to hear anything, as the air conditioning is a bit loud.

Josh is very easy going. He let me alter the dates of my stay and he was extremely flexible with check in and check out times."
945676,42997578,2015-08-16,28756974,Crystal,Place was like home away from home . Easy to get in contact with host & it was super close to downtown and just about everything else. In & Out was just around the corner.
945676,44240108,2015-08-24,21911298,Bim,"Great apartment! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here - the apartment was well appointed and had absolutely everything I could ever need. A very comfortable bed, and great A/C. Very quiet inside and close to a big grocery store and various food places. Whilst I didn't meet Josh, he was fantastic at keeping in contact and made sure everything went smoothly."
945676,46783528,2015-09-13,198885,Carolina,"Josh's place was amazing. Everything about it was just great. It was super cozy and quiet and I felt right at home. I came in and there was a manual. They let me play their records, watch netflix, and even cook right at home. Felt like I was home. It's great when you encounter hosts that trust you with their personal things and let you in their home as if you were a friend. That's how I felt here. Great Wifi Service, stock kitchen was the best for the times I didn't want to go out and eat. Just everything I needed for my trip  to ATX. It was close to one of my favorite areas in atx. Btw the pictures don't do justice! Their place is cuter and better in person! strongly recommended. I hope to stay again at this lovely place. Thanks guys! :)"
945676,49617958,2015-10-05,17647888,Heidi,"The apartment was absolutely adorable and very, very comfortable. The bed was perfect! Location worked for us beautifully -- a $9 uber ride everywhere. Loved the record collection and cozy couch, too. I would absolutely stay here again for my next trip to Austin."
945676,52884808,2015-11-02,22387375,Bo,"Josh was always just a text away. His apartment is in a safe and convenient area of Austin. Every great restaurant is about 5-10 minutes away from this place. It's clean and cozy (the bed will give you the best sleep of your life) . The apartment is also very close to UT, where we were visiting friends. Overall I'd recommend this apartment to anyone looking to be right in the middle of everything Austin has to offer."
329129,999425,2012-03-14,1589919,Joelle,"The home was exactly as advertised. Fantastic communication with the host, and the home was quite lovely.  Clean, safe location and the host left great instructions and amenities.

Only bit of advice to future renters is that it's a bit tough to get a taxi from here during SXSW. "
329129,1066260,2012-03-31,1835310,Juan,Jennifer's home was so warm and cozy. There's a great view from the back porch and is the perfect place to relax. Jennifer made sure we had everything we needed and she even left a great long list of places to eat and things to check out while in Austin. It's so close to downtown and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Austin!
329129,1133974,2012-04-15,1052874,Amber,"Very cozy place. Exactly as described, plus very neat and super soft beds. Also, very close to a great walking trail for dogs. "
329129,1204403,2012-04-30,2172700,Ashley,The condo was lovely and very comfortable. Jennifer made checking in and out a breeze. It was within a few minutes drive from 6th street but far enough away to still be peaceful and relaxing. I would definitely stay here on future Austin trips and recommend it to others!
329129,1240136,2012-05-07,2079913,Macy,"Jennifer's house was incredibly comfortable to stay in. Me and my husband and our two friends went on the trip to Austin- her house was perfect for spreading out to enjoy some space or coming together to hand out. We loved the balcony. It was about a $15 cab ride, but it was within walking distance to the original Kerby Lane Cafe which is a must have for us every time we go to Austin."
329129,1329484,2012-05-22,698477,Becca,We loved staying at Jennifer's place!  Her town home is very beautiful and so close to everything you could need.  Very comfy beds!!
329129,1372921,2012-05-29,2179714,Grant,"This was a great place to stay! Great location, quiet, comfortable, very nice! We'd definitely love to stay here again!"
329129,1699234,2012-07-13,2776789,Andrée,"My family stayed in this home while we waited for our things to arrive in Austin from New York. We needed a place that was comfortable for children and Jen's place was great! It had everything we needed, including a dark bedroom for the baby, and was centrally located. Jen was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to questions. We had a great stay and highly recommend her place!"
329129,2574205,2012-10-10,3340345,Celia,"We suggest you visit before renting.  Three levels - one bedroom on top stays about 10 degrees warmer than the one on first level.  Condo is FULL.  we requested closets (all locked) and were promised at least two but did not receive.  We were there for long term stay and had belongings everywhere! Beds comfortable, Location is very nice. "
329129,2926560,2012-11-20,3541055,David,"My wife and I rented Jennifer's condo with another couple for four nights.  We really enjoyed her place.  It was very spacious and looks as nice as it does in the pictures.  It is ideally located only a few minutes from downtown and only 10-15 minutes from the Domain.  There is a Starbucks and a newer large drug store within walking distance.  We arrived very late (at midmight) on the first night and were a little nervous about the keys being available, but they were available as she promised and everything was as expected.

Note that the upstairs bed is a double bed which might be too small for some couples, but was fine for us."
329129,2950517,2012-11-24,3826630,Katrina,"It was a great experience! The location and home are both wonderful.  We had an issue with the AC and Jen immediately had someone out to fix it.
It's a nice condo and Jen was very accommodating - I would definitely go back- thanks!!"
329129,4169681,2013-04-15,2117600,Kenny,"Cool place, great location in Central Austin."
329129,4256041,2013-04-22,382885,J.C.,"Really nice, three-story condo in a cool, central area. Coffee, tacos, the Draught House and Central Market are all less than a mile away. Jennifer was very easy to work with and her place is immaculate. Highly recommend and hope to stay there again sometime!"
329129,4664460,2013-05-19,4421615,Patricia,"Jennifer was a wonderful host.  She was quick to respond to my messages and the house is so lovely!  Came with my parents to apartment hunt for graduate school.  They enjoyed the place just as much as I did.  The location is great, quiet community but close to UT and downtown.  Just a warning that the parking space is kinda tight, but it was fine for our little rental car.  I would definitely stay here again.  Comfy beds and good water pressure in the showers.  Simple/flexible check-in and check-out.  Could not have asked for better accommodations."
329129,4805342,2013-05-27,5760766,Anne,"Loved the place. Very clean and the house is exactly as advertised. The upstairs bedroom was warmer than the rest of the house but there is a fan in the room that helped out alot.
I would definitely rent it again and would recommend it to my friends.   "
329129,6439369,2013-08-12,7806096,Leslie,Very nice clean spacious place. Upstairs bedroom was a littler warmer then the rest of the house but everything else was great. I would recommend Jennifer's place to anyone checking out Austin since it was close to everything. 
329129,7312483,2013-09-15,5180083,Marie,"Jennifer's place was perfect!  Just as described.  Clean and roomy.  Super comfortable and came equipped with everything you could need during your stay.  

Great location for running around Austin.  

Jennifer was easy to work with and very reliable.  I'll be back the next time I visit Austin!"
329129,7461554,2013-09-21,8216266,Liz,We loved staying at Jennifer's place. We had to move out for a week during a house remodel - and the place was perfect!  Made us feel we were home.  Loved the split-level.  The place looks just like the pictures!
329129,8337215,2013-10-26,8333687,Andrea,The location was fantastic and the condo was very clean.  It had everything that we could've needed.  Comfortable beds and a TV in every room.  The kitchen had a few condiments and plenty of cookware and dishes to accommodate our needs.  I would definitely stay here again!
329129,8400466,2013-10-28,9634134,Laura,Loved the location and Jennifer was a great host.  Would stay here again!
329129,8577326,2013-11-05,1287834,Tonia,"We had a wonderful stay at Jennifer's condo.  It was very clean and very close to all the excitment (Hyde Park, downtown, SoCo, UT campus).  "
329129,10684582,2014-03-03,658184,Monty,Jennifer's place is absolutely wonderful. The three of us had a nice and comfortable stay. The apartment is a very short drive to downtown and you can easily get to north and west Austin as well. I didn't meet Jennifer but she was very responsive and communicative over email/txt. Will definitely check this place again on future trips to Austin.
329129,10875961,2014-03-11,4764595,Clare,Jennifer's home is a really nice space on a quiet road.  The beds were comfy / good size and it's a well-equipped kitchen.  The only criticism is that the heating doesn't seem to work very well downstairs - which meant either the bottom bedroom was too cold or the top bedroom was too warm.  Plus it's a bit further out of central Austin than we'd thought!  But Jenn was really helpful and welcoming and overall I would certainly recommend a stay here.
329129,11017464,2014-03-17,12236721,Aleah,"This condo was simply perfect for us during SXSW. It was a short 10 min drive to the convention center. The bedrooms are comfy, the living room and kitchen have plenty of space for several people, and everything was nice and clean. We highly recommend Jen and her place!!"
329129,11365412,2014-03-31,12850793,Joshua,We loved Jennifers home. Beautiful 3 story location with a great view. She was helpful at a moments notice. Location is great for defeating the austin traffic and in great striking distance to the main attractions.
329129,11592568,2014-04-08,13023965,Nigella,Jennifer made our stay very easy and pleasant.  Her home was perfect for us and the wine and chocolates much appreciated.  I would recommend staying here.
329129,12872699,2014-05-12,10057600,Donald,The place was perfect.
329129,13122038,2014-05-19,2090301,Amir,Great location!!! The house was in great shape and I enjoyed my stay with my family.  If you're going to Austin and want a central and convenient place to stay Jennifer's place is a great place.
329129,14003331,2014-06-09,5574751,Sharon,Great experience all around.  Jennifer couldn't have made it easier for us and the condo was everything we expected.
329129,26107769,2015-02-03,14380141,Bailyn,"I will start this review off by saying we ended up enjoying our stay and were able to make it work.  However, the place posed a few issues.  First off, the pictures and description of the condo were a little misleading in that it said there was a king sized bed and a queen sized bed but it turned out the queen was actually a double bed which (in my opinion) is uncomfortable for two people to share.  We had four adults and two babies so we had to do some rearranging and someone ended up having to sleep on the couch, which leads me to my next concern.  The couch in the pictures is inaccurate and the couch that was there was much smaller meaning the seating in the living room accommodated fewer people.  I have stayed at quite a few airbnbs and they often have small couches that don't provide a comfortable place to hang out with a group so the big couch was something that specifically drew me to this listing.  This made it all the more disappointing when the couch was misrepresented.  We also had a little bit of trouble with the wifi when we tried to contact airbnb to sort things out.  

In the end, I think this is a great place to rent if you have an accurate idea of the place and the furniture included.  For the group I was traveling with, the misrepresentations posed a problem.  In the end we got a partial refund, Jennifer was willing to give us some money back and airbnb was very helpful in working things out.

 

 "
2738969,25181881,2015-01-08,3140806,Gloria,"Our contact person was very responsive and helpful and the location of this apartment was superb. If you are travelling with a dog, (we were not), there is a very popular dog park right down the block. 

However, if you are staying with three or more people and/or you are travelling in the winter, you should be warned that there is no central heat in the apartment, and the space heater that is provided for the living room is not adequate. This meant that our third guest, who was sleeping on the futon in the living room, was sleeping in several layers to stay as warm as possible. We eventually opted to open the bedroom door to allow the heat to circulate, but even that did not adequately heat the living room to a comfortable temperature.

As we learned on our trip, winter nights in Austin can drop below freezing, and I think these quarters are hardly habitable for such weather, or at least, guests should be warned in advance, which is what I'm attempting to do. It is a low price and a great location for biking, but in the winter, it feels more like a cabin than an apartment. In fact, it is located on the lower floor of what appears to be a converted garage or outbuilding, located behind another house, with another apartment on top, which was not clear to me from the listing. Happy travels! 

"
2738969,28818771,2015-03-30,15424534,Matt,"The host(s) were very friendly and prompt.  They were very easy to work with in terms of check in \ check out. 

All in all an excellent experience "
2738969,31393540,2015-05-04,31927918,Nancy,"Great location - a nice walk to South Congress or across the bridge. Easy access to everything. Easy communication with Bret, property was accurately listed and it was a great value for one person, compared to hotels. I would definitely stay again. "
2738969,32654949,2015-05-19,33314603,Keren,"The place is really small. So I will not recommend it if your group has more than two people. Also you may  want to bring your own shampoo, soap, towels and stuff.  
You can cook and do laundry there. The AC works fine. People who live upstairs are very friendly. 
Lora is really nice and patient, and she even prepared bottle water in the freighter when we arrived. "
2738969,33128178,2015-05-25,27663639,Cara,We had an awesome time! The location was perfect and the space was exactly what we needed. Thank you!
2738969,37350893,2015-07-06,978854,Bill,"Bret was very conscientious about contacting me by e-mail and text prior to our trip with all the information I needed to get to the house, get in, and even information on Wifi. The key thing about this property is location, location, location! It is a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the ""boardwalk."" Great for early morning walks along the lake/river and into downtown Austin. It was perfect for watching the 4th of July fireworks. If the property was anywhere else in Austin I would say it was over priced, but the location makes up for it. The property was clean and well equipped. Outside was pretty rundown and inside was a bit rundown. Again, it was clean and they made an effort to make it as nice as possible for an old apartment.
"
2738969,44586105,2015-08-27,40860690,Philip,The place is as described and comfortable for two people.  It is in an excellent neighborhood and right on the lake and yet we had a private parking spot.  House was quite and well furnished.  Very clean.
2738969,45988313,2015-09-07,17874331,Mike,"Apt. is about 10 minute walk to access the riverwalk, river is only 100 feet away, you just can't get to it due to fences
A/C worked well enough
Bed was too soft for me, just a personal thing
Quick access to fwy and downtown
Host called back immediately when we needed him  "
2738969,48544819,2015-09-27,5517153,Jessica,"Although we didn't meet Bret, his response time was quick. Megan and Jake who manage the property were incredibly friendly and helpful.

They gave us suite C instead of the one listed on airbnb because it was slightly larger and there was 3 of us. The suite itself was minimal and good for what we needed. The location was amazing and walking distance to SoCo and downtown. Would stay again!"
2738969,49621765,2015-10-05,8478250,Pete,"The accommodations were part of a two-story back house that is very convenient to the major attractions.  Although there were some issues with the place, Bret and his on-site manager, Megan, resolved them for us to our satisfaction.  The neighborhood is quiet and we felt safe coming in and out at all hours."
2738969,51039442,2015-10-17,37352719,Ray,"The apartment was as described and very clean. Bret is very responsive, and Megan was there to greet me/let me in right when I arrived. The location is one which will require a little bit of walking to get into the downtown area or south Congress. But I do look to walk (not drive) any new city I set out to see, so this didn't bother me in the least. I highly recommend this place for an individual or a couple looking for a place to stay in Austin."
2738969,51464866,2015-10-20,40871311,Matt,"Good value in nice, walkable location."
2738969,53113255,2015-11-05,18663491,Suzanne,"The location was wonderful! It was very close to downtown and had plenty of street parking (free!). I had a large vehicle, so parking up into their parking area wasn't very logical as it's a bit cramped, but the street parking was fine. I highly recommend taking the bus in if wanting to do anything right in the heart of downtown (as there's no parking anywhere!) or riding a bike. The bus stop is right at the street close by.  The place was lacking a bit compared to many other places I've stayed and could use a bit of a deep cleaning, but overall it had what we needed, plus some extra nice touches like a bottle of wine, some drinks and such. The internet speed was very slow, so I'm glad I wasn't there to work like normal. The cable box also didn't quite work for all channels which got frustrating when having to use my cell data to watch TWD.  The host had a tenant give me the key and for the most part, they were both easy to communicate with."
7645794,43468734,2015-08-19,32383793,Duy,Very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. Elizabeth let me make a very late booking and was very hospitable. Some treats and towels were available as well.
7645794,43737445,2015-08-21,38344801,Keith,Elizabeth was great. She was very accommodating and easy to talk to given the short notice when I booked. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. 
758470,3788464,2013-03-15,4922752,Ray,"Friday, February 1, I paid Airbnb $956 for a three night  accommodation March 11, 12 & 13. Sunday, March 10 at 3:30PM, Matt Schram called to inform me that the room I rented from him was not available the first night. He said he was trying to accommodate everyone for SXSW  and needed to move me to a smaller room. He said he would give me a cash refund. The room I got was a converted pantry and closet with a full size bed. Matt said that the best time to move to the large suite I paid for would be 2PM Tuesday, March 12. I arranged my schedule to work with that. I was out early for a meeting and came back to take a nap and shower at 12:50PM. There were no pillowcases or sheets on the bed, no towels in the bathroom. Therefore, no nap or shower for me. At 2PM, when I went to move to the room I originally rented. It was not yet cleaned. The cleaning lady was in the room, and her daughter was napping on the couch. At 2:40PM, she came out and told me the room was ready for me. The room turned out to be Matt's own bedroom/office, which he still felt free to use although he rented it to me. I have rented many rooms and stayed in many B&B's in my travels for years. I have never run across a situation where the owner has someone rent his own personal room while he stays in the building. The room was filled with Matt's things. The closets and dressers were all full. There was no where to hang clothes. It was strange and uncomfortable to say the least. There were no shades on the window at the head of the bed, no towels in the bathroom.  When I was in the room Tuesday, March 12 at 4PM taking a nap, Matt unlocked the door and entered the room. He did not knock. He said he needed to get some shampoo and get cleaned up. Was he going to use my shower?  I guess he still felt it was his shower and room to use freely although I paid Airbnb $956 for it. He came into the room and got something from the bathroom. I felt so uncomfortable and cheated at this point that I gathered my stuff, left the house and found other accommodations. Matt showed no regard for privacy, schedule, space. There was continuous construction in the house, broken refrigerator, dog hair covered couches. I have had no response from Matt, and I have received no refund of any kind. For $956, I spent one night in a room that was much smaller than the one for which I paid. I incurred more expenses on my trip and missed appointments as a result.   "
758470,11786816,2014-04-14,6195542,Leighton,Very clean and the host was accommodating toward our last minute reservation. Great location. 
758470,13936183,2014-06-08,402495,Jacob,"Great location, wonderful house, and a superb host! Would love to come back someday. "

3742694,20864831,2014-10-06,16722010,Ryan,"Great house and great host. Everything at the house was clean and immaculate on arrival, attention was paid to every detail, small toiletries were left out in each room, Casey even left a bottle of wine with a welcome note for us on arrival.  Even though Casey wasn't there at our arrival, detailed arrival instructions (with photos) were emailed in advance of arrival, and keys were conveniently left in lockbox.  During our stay, Casey responded immediately via text to the 1-2 questions we had about the house.  Detailed instructions were left clearly visible about outdoor grill/pool/towels, etc.  The house is beautiful, pictures do it little justice.  Looking out from the amazing outdoor kitchen onto a large green space was peaceful and serene in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood very near Town Lake.  We had a great time BBQ'ing, relaxing in the pool and entertaining a few friends.  House is  2 miles from downtown Austin, with easy direct access, but far enough removed to feel like your'e in the hill country.  Would stay here with every trip to Austin if possible"
3742694,21250470,2014-10-13,20910627,Sharyn,Casey was an awesome host!  He made sure we has everything we needed and more. The house was clean and spacious and the outdoor space is gorgeous!   Great neighborhood.  Close to everything!  Perfect weekend!
3742694,21478653,2014-10-18,1762729,Stephen,"Casey's home is truly amazing.  I got married in Austin on Saturday, and rented his place for my immediate wedding party on Thursday and Friday.  I am so glad that I did.  It had plenty of room for 10 people, and was an ideal space to catch up with friends while grilling outside.  Casey was a great host as well.  He was easy to communicate with and checked in on me several times during the stay.  

In short, I cannot recommend Casey and his home enough.  "
3742694,22466797,2014-11-07,17504853,Tina,Casey was great and checked in on the stay via email!

3742694,26615765,2015-02-16,906376,Zachary,"Casey's house was great. HUGE. Felt like it could sleep 20, tho we had 7. He left us a couple beers in the fridge which was great. We left him a few more. Beautiful neighborhood. Quick drive to nearby BBQ spots and downtown. Thanks!"
3742694,26909165,2015-02-22,23989243,Brook,Great host - responsive and helpful.  Home was in a beautiful neighborhood with incredible backyard and outdoor space.  Plenty of bedrooms / baths and large spaces for groups to spend time together. 
3742694,27249421,2015-03-01,13320614,Daniel,"Casey made sure our every need was met, and left very detailed instructions for us. He even checked in on us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and extremely comfortable! Great location!"
3742694,27784640,2015-03-11,28687544,Susan,"Casey was a great host, very welcoming and helpful.  We enjoyed our stay at this nice, spacious home.  It is located in a safe, residential neighborhood yet conveniently located so only a short drive to downtown.  Perfect for our needs and would definitely recommend to others."
3742694,28116443,2015-03-18,22375353,Grant,"Great location, close enough for a quick Uber or bike ride to downtown, but far enough that you get the feeling of a quiet neighborhood. The house has everything you need including a great outdoor dining area overlooking the pool. We had a blast, thanks!"
3742694,28182161,2015-03-19,22532696,Xinyue,"Casey 's house is perfect! Five bedrooms and each bedroom could hold two people I think. My friends and I really enjoy the time here! Casey is very thoughtful and easy to communicate, even I didnot see him but I think he is a very nice person. Great experience. "
3742694,28376936,2015-03-23,13239293,Stephen,"The house was beautiful, with an amazing pool, outdoor area, many bedrooms, nice kitchen, and many sitting areas around the house. Casey was a great and attentive host and took care of everything we needed during our stay. Would definitely love to stay here again next time I come to SXSW!"
3742694,28699086,2015-03-29,25792991,Carolyn,"I had the best stay at this gorgeous house in Austin! It was only 10 minutes to downtown, fit all 10 of us comfortably, beautiful pool, and huge patio. Not to mention, Casey was extremely accommodating to our needs. He made us feel very welcome and was more than efficient in covering all of the house needs. 

Couldn't of asked for a better host & stay in Texas! "
3742694,29157954,2015-04-05,10834315,Liz,"Casey was so so lovely - very helpful instructions, got in touch va email and text appropriately.  Then, when we arrived, we had a very small issue (wifi) and he got online while ON A PLANE to get in touch with his service provider as well as a friend to help us sort it out.  Well over and above what was necessary.  He checked in a few times and was so concerned we were having a nice time.  I was flabbergasted.  Can't wait to rent his (amazing) house again.  Just sad we didn't get to use the incredible backyard and BBQ more.  Incredible place.  incredible host."
3742694,29719523,2015-04-12,11043184,McCary,"We had such a great time at the home. All the beds were extremely comfortable, and the outdoor patio is amazing - it was a perfect place for a large group. When we ran into an issue, the owner was extremely quick to respond and resolve everything above and beyond expectations. "
3742694,29858950,2015-04-13,29755866,Kevin,"Beautiful place and great surrounding area by the Colorado River. There was a delay in clean up from the previous guests but it was quickly resolved. We enjoyed our stay there and we would stay there again. There was a lap pool that was nice and since I am a swimmer it was nice extra. Kitchen facilities great, likewise bedrooms great and a comfortable living/TV room. The real cool part was the outdoor kitchen area we didn't have time to use but it would be great for a cook-out with guests."
3742694,29988957,2015-04-15,1306813,Beth,Beautiful home- tons of space! The pool and patio were awesome- and the rest of the house was nicely decorated and well appointed. Casey was very friendly and made us feel right at home. I would recommend to anyone wanting a fabulous experience!
3742694,30510290,2015-04-23,5291489,Clay,A very neat home in a wonderful location.  We had a work function in Austin and our team stayed in Casey's place.  It worked perfectly for us...very comfortable and the back patio/pool was especially awesome.  Casey was a great host...very responsive and welcoming.  
3742694,30880428,2015-04-28,5531436,Glenn,"Look no further for your perfect getaway in Austin. This spacious, quiet 5 bedroom home is exactly as it appears in the photos -- elegant, well-appointed, and comfortable. It was hard for our group to tear ourselves away from the house in order to explore the rest of the city. Casey is an excellent host. He responded quickly to messages, checked in during our stay, and made sure everything was perfect. I can't say enough about this incredible property. Don't miss it!"
3742694,31169264,2015-05-03,26931564,Josh,"Casey was an extremely courteous and hospitable host.

He was extremely helpful and prompt with his responses and recommendations right from the time we made the booking to the time we checked out and even beyond that when we realized we left items at the house in which he helped get back to us.

He allowed us to check in early, and check out late which was greatly appreciated given the flights we had booked in and out of Austin.

The house is spectacular all around.  Very comfortable and welcoming.  Rooms were cozy, and the kitchen was great.  We spent a ton of time in the back yard enjoying the sunshine and pool during the day, and the outdoor patio for dinner at night.

The neighborhood was excellent.  Safe, beautiful, and quiet, while at the same time not being too far from the action of downtown.  The house was also only a short walking distance from the river and marina where one day we just enjoyed one of the patios, and the other rented a boat from.

I would highly recommend this house in terms of both the property itself and Casey as the host."
3742694,31605599,2015-05-07,31933588,L,"Home was very nice as pictured and neighborhood was quiet.  Fantastic location with quick access to downtown.  Casey was a perfect Host with a bottle of wine waiting upon our arrival.   Kitchen fully stocked with condiments, spices, coffee, etc.  I felt like I was staying at a friend's home.  There were no issues and Casey responded immediately to questions.  Only had 2 nights here... wish we could have stayed longer.  Would definitely stay here again."
3742694,32128804,2015-05-14,31681334,Whitney,Beautiful home and a lovely location. We really enjoyed the outside patio and pool. We had a few minor issues with the reservation before our stay but Casey went out of his way to resolve them quickly. The home is lovely and Casey was a wonderful host. I would absolutely stay here again. 
3742694,32746217,2015-05-21,341519,Carlos,The house was perfect! We have a large family and never felt once like we were cramped. Lovely space really!
3742694,32955359,2015-05-24,25306508,Bob,"Our stay at this Tarrytown Retreat was amazing. From the well decorated and clean house we found upon arrival to the clear instructions for everything a guest could possibly think of, our UT graduation weekend celebration was almost perfect. We selected this house specifically for the indoor, patio, pool combination and this combination proved to be ideal. We hosted a graduation party for my daughter's friends and families, which started with a BBQ in the covered patio and swimming in the pool. When the heavy thunderstorms came in the late afternoon, instead of ruining the party, we all gathered in the covered patio and the celebration continued without a hitch. I can only imagine how perfect this combination would be in the middle of the hot summer where guests can go from the unshaded pool to the covered patio to the air conditioned family room - a perfect setting for all seasons. And if you want a good neighborhood, I'm not sure you could do better - Lake Austin a few blocks west and the UT campus and Sixth Street a short drive away, the location is as good as the house itself. I travel a lot and stay in many hotels for business, and I can assure you that Casey is more responsive than any front desk or concierge that I have ever come across. Highly recommended, with or without Mother Nature's cooperation!"
3742694,33302037,2015-05-26,32583585,Kim,"What a great first experience with Airbnb! Casey's home is wonderfully spacious, and his attention to detail impeccable. A complimentary bottle of wine on our arrival, extremely comfortable beds, and an amazing outdoor patio/pool. We wish we'd stayed longer! The home is a quick 10 minute drive to downtown/UT Austin, which is where we were visiting. Casey was quick to communicate whenever we needed. Thank you for a delightful stay! We will be back for sure!"
3742694,33651556,2015-05-31,5952225,Marushka,Great place in a great neighborhood. Very spacious and the pool/backyard were lovely. Within walking distance of a coffee shop and a short drive to downtown. Casey was a great host - very helpful and even left a welcome bottle of wine. Would definitely recommend!
3742694,34770280,2015-06-12,7000806,Amelia,Everything was perfect! Casey is a great host & the home is beautiful. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! 
3742694,36766894,2015-07-01,27605162,Erika,The house looks just like the pictures. IT'S AWESOME!! We had a wonderful time and the host was very helpful with whatever we needed. Thank you!!!
3742694,37580611,2015-07-08,34157233,Elle,"Casey was very considerate about accommodating our check in time, left two welcome bottles of wine, and made sure we had all the information we needed to access the wi fi network, the coffee makers, the pool information, etc. The house itself is awesome and is exactly as described and portrayed in the photographs. We love this house and this neighborhood, if we come back to Austin we will definitely try to stay at Casey's house. "
3742694,38101261,2015-07-13,29180473,Michael,Host had great communication with lots of details about the area and went above to help plan activities.   House was beautiful.  It was all set up with top notch modern amenities to make the stay extra enjoyable.    Great for large groups.    We stayed here for the patio and pool and it is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures.   Casey is as good as his reviews show.
3742694,38631354,2015-07-17,36606772,Jonathan,This worked perfectly for our group. The house was great and the pool was super fun. Thanks for the opportunity. 
3742694,39371990,2015-07-23,29887280,Yvonne,"We loved our time in Casey's home.  The house was great, the outdoor kitchen was phenomenal, and the pool was perfect.  The home is located on a quiet street in the most beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood.  I would rent this home again in a heartbeat.  In addition, Casey was welcoming, helpful, and very responsive. "
3742694,39729897,2015-07-26,26581655,Franklyn,"Casey left us an incredibly detailed packet of information to take advantage of an incredible house. The kitchen and outdoor space (both covered and pool-side) in particular were top-notch, and we could not have picked a better place to stay. I highly recommend this house - it has everything you could ever need. "
3742694,41127816,2015-08-04,31718515,Crystal,"Casey was a super understanding and kind host. The place itself was absolutely homey and beautiful. Plenty of home essentials were provided to make the guests feel just as if they were at home. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, although I would suggest that you exercise caution when driving around at night because it is quite dark. Aside from that, everything was absolutely fantastic. Thanks Casey!"
3742694,41326866,2015-08-07,30348957,Beth,"Even though Casey was halfway across the world when we stayed at his home, he responded to any concerns that we had almost immediately. There was a little bit of a mix-up about the dates we would be staying, but I sent Casey a text upon arrival, and within minutes, he had it all ironed out. He also had a welcome bottle of wine waiting for us, sent a lovely Edible Arrangement to apologize for the mix-up, and when I asked if I could find a couple loungers for the pool somewhere in the house (and stated it was fine if there weren't any), he had 2 brand new ones delivered about an hour later! 

The house itself was just as pictured. We had 11 girls staying, and everyone had a comfy place to sleep. I've stayed at homes where I had to sleep on a cardboard-thin, pull-out couch (email hidden)t the case at all when staying here. We made good use of the spacious kitchen, the laundry room, and most of all the outdoor living space. It was a great place to sit and chat and drink coffee in the morning.

The neighborhood is also gorgeous. I went for a run one morning (warning: it's hilly!) and saw some homes that were beyond amazing. It was clear we were staying in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Austin. More than one Uber driver mentioned that as well. Plan to catch an Uber or drive to any restaurants you plan to visit. There may have been a place or two that were walkable, but we weren't familiar with the area enough to take that walk. FYI: To take an Uber downtown to 6th Street it was less than $10.

We had a fun, comfortable, and safe stay! Thanks!

"
3742694,41729552,2015-08-09,24657967,Rebecca,"The perfect weekend getaway place. Casey's house is exactly as advertised. Our group of 10 had more than enough space, and took full advantage of the pool and the grill. We loved that his house is only 10-15 min from downtown Austin...and pretty much 20 min from anywhere we wanted to go. He and Kevin (our point of contact since Casey was out of town that weekend) were incredibly responsive to my various questions throughout the weekend (ie where's the switch for the pool lights?) and made our whole group feel welcome! "
3742694,42132629,2015-08-11,20990793,C,"Lovely home, amazing location, peaceful retreat in the city. We stayed on this property for our board retreat. We had 15 people gathering during the day and 8 spending the night. We had plenty of room to spread out in, the accommodations were really luxe, and - best of all - all the amenities (porch dining, pool, large kitchen) made it easy for us to bond as a group. Casey was a fantastic host. I had to change my reservation and he helped me handle it all - even though he was overseas at the time! I would definitely come back here for a family or professional gathering. It was kind of hard to leave and go back to my own house! "
3742694,42615130,2015-08-14,39664476,Dominique,The home is even more amazing and special in person.  We felt right at home and since Casey provided such a great introduction to his home there was nothing to have questions about.  Even though he was traveling out of the country he was responsive and prompt with introductions and so on.  This was a wonderful 1st airbnb experience and the bar is high!  Hope to come back soon and enjoy this amazing space in the perfect area in Austin.
3742694,45923364,2015-09-07,29856689,Franz,"Casey's place was exactly as advertised. We had 9 people with us and everyone felt comfortable. The pool and deck area are the highlight of the house, and where we spent most of our time. I would recommend this place to anyone, and Casey was a great host. Provided info and a bottle of champagne as a welcoming gift. I would definitely stay there again."
3742694,47606748,2015-09-21,25710983,Linda,"Casey had a bottle of wine as a welcome when we arrived at the house. He was very friendly and accommodating to our large group. The house was as described and as shown in the pictures.  We loved the outdoor kitchen for barbequing and eating.  The pool was a ""must have"" feature due to the hot weather.  There was no need to go else where with this retreat.  We loved the privacy in back with the trees surrounding the pool.  Quiet neighborhood and close to downtown. Great location; very happy with our stay."
3742694,49105228,2015-10-01,38451468,Katherine,"Everything was wonderful! Our small business team traveled together to attend a national conference- which was less than 15 minutes away.  After being with more than 800 people every day, the Tarrytown retreat was exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy the property with its stunning views and quiet neighborhood. I wish that we could replicate the property  for future conference locations!
Whatever we needed to make the stay even better, Casey was amazingly responsive. Thank you Casey for being a wonderful host."
3742694,49585995,2015-10-05,7819938,Eric,"Great house and great location. I think the house is much better in person than in the pictures. Great spot for a large group. Casey was extremely accomodating and helpful. I'd happily stay here again.  Thanks, Casey. "
3742694,50425670,2015-10-12,30019025,Anthony,"This was a fantastic experience for my group and I! The level of customer service exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier. Casey made this process seamless and was readily available for anything we needed. 

The house is as good as it shows online and the neighborhood blew us away. It was great location for us to get anywhere and locals (mostly uber drivers, which were easily accessible) were amazed we found a place like that in that location.

Lastly, the amenities the house had really made it for us. We would love to stay here again!"
3742694,51739236,2015-10-24,15220326,Jake,"Casey's house was a great choice for our stay in Austin - it was comfortable for a large group and had great space for hanging out - especially the outside area. Located only a short drive from downtown and with a host as attentive to the small details as Casey, I would highly recommend this spot."
3742694,52812092,2015-11-01,2817042,Jon,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
801521,3452910,2013-02-01,4460354,Andy,"Had a great months stay with Jana. The place is clean comfortable and within walking distance (15mins) of all the great SoCo spots. Jana was a great host, willing to help out in any way possible. It was truly home away from home. Thanks Jana!"
801521,21194821,2014-10-13,4953512,Jenna,"Although I live in Austin already, I stayed at the studio for two nights of my wedding weekend since it was super close to our venue. It looks just like the pictures, and the space was very inviting and clean. Although it's a studio, there was plenty of room for me and six bridesmaids to hang out and get ready the morning of the wedding, and it was also a wonderful place to return to at the end of the evening. Jana was very quick to reply to a few of my last-minute questions, and she made our stay so easy! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay in Austin."
801521,37411427,2015-07-06,2741304,Keylor,The studio is in a great location. Walking distance from restaurants and bars on S. Congress. Jana had all the knowledge on places in area a dis incredibly friendly.
801521,47748810,2015-09-21,14488178,Tony,"Had a great experience staying at Jana's studio. Myself and two friends drove up to Austin for the endurance race weekend at COTA and loved how close and easy it was to get to/from.  The studio is as advertised except there's a large bush now to the right of the main door. I guess that small shrub in the picture finally grew up! :D 
The neighborhood is super quiet and peaceful, just watch out for the guinea birds as you pull up. We really didn't communicate with Jana all that much except for check in and just as we were leaving at the end of our stay, but she was always a text or call away. Definitely a great choice if you're an AirBnB first timer."
801521,48502489,2015-09-27,34861136,Cady,It was great. A totally Austin-feel for our Austin weekend. 
1148536,5184032,2013-06-17,6339304,Jonathan,"Great modern house, new everything and a perfect location. You won’t believe how close you are to where you’ll want to be. We recently rented this house for a guys weekend in Austin and couldn’t be happier. The house is extremely nice with nicely designed touches that truly make you feel you are someplace special. And the location, just about four blocks from Rainy Street, and a 20 min walk downtown, is perfectly situated for the best parts of town.

Our host Amit was really amazing as well. He was very easy to communicate with leading up to our trip. He provided plenty of information and ideas for things to do and see in town. Once we made it to Austin, he was punctual for check-in and check-out and available at the drop of a hat if we had any questions.

I’ll be coming right back to the Traveler’s Paradise the next time I need a house in Austin."
1148536,7757076,2013-10-01,8326942,John,"Amit was a great host.  His house is modern, and comfortably sized, with a nice backyard to relax in.  Walking distance to Rainey St, and a short drive to most everything else Austin has to offer!"
1148536,7913720,2013-10-08,7126042,Daniela,"comfort, location, charm, & style –Amit’s house has it all! 
While planning our trip to Austin City Limits, my friends and I searched for a “home away from home.”
We definitely could have not picked a better place!  Amit was the perfect host, making sure we had everything we needed even before we arrived to Austin.  He went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, and enjoyed our stay.  Little details such as his thoughtful “welcome” hand-written note, fresh flowers on the dining room table, and delicious local Austin treats! (chips, salsa, beer, yum!) made our stay extra special.  Check-in was fast and extremely easy -the same can be said about check-out.  
The home is BEAUTIFUL and tastefully decorated!  Modern (yet cozy), clean, spacious, and extremely functional!  The house had everything we could ever need and more.  From a private parking pad, wi-fi, and laundry…to umbrellas and ponchos in case it rained!  
Location was great, with easy access to I-35, yet secluded in a quiet and safe neighborhood.  Close to the airport, 6th street, Zilker, and all major attractions.  A quick and pleasant walk to bars, restaurants, coffee shops, & Rainey Street!  
Truly an East Austin paradise with a world-traveler flair!  We will definitely come back next time we are in town.  Thanks Amit for hosting us!

1148536,8079881,2013-10-15,7008255,Geoff,"Our stay with Amit in Austin was perfect. The location is perfect for walking Downtown and to all of the spots in East Austin. The house itself was clean and comfortable (not to mention modern and well decorated.)  Amit was really easy to communicate with, and he made an effort to meet all of our needs with extra beds, bedding, etc.  He was even thoughtful enough to leave us the best kind of welcome gift (alcohol.)  I would definitely recommend a stay here to any and all. "
1148536,8378030,2013-10-28,7481848,George,"Stayed the weekend at Amit's place for a guys trip with some college buddies. Amit went out of his way to make our short visit hassle-free and enjoyable. His food and night life recs were spot on. Extra props for agreeing to pick up some essentials prior to our arrival since we were without a car. The house was clean, spacious, we'll-appointed, with a nice outdoor area. Short walk to Rainey street which is a great spot for drinks. Would definitely stay here again. "
1148536,8689028,2013-11-12,6914975,Stephen,"The house is conveniently located close to 35 and Cesar Chavez giving close access to downtown and 6th Street. If you want to get away from Dirty 6th, Rainey Street is walking distance from the house (which my friends and I did). The house is new and modern. Amit provides extra air mattresses, which lets you accommodate everyone comfortably. Another perk is the large backyard, which is great for hanging out and grilling. I almost forgot the best perk: Amit left us some alcohol free of charge! 

We had a issue regarding some potential damage to the house, but Amit was very professional in the way he handled it and we resolved the issue quickly. 

In short, I would highly recommend this place for SXSW, ACL, FFF, F-1, or any trip down to Austin. Amit is extremely hospitable and quick to provide recommendations. At the very least, come for the awesome rain show in the master bedroom!

1148536,8820044,2013-11-19,9630987,Marc,This was my 1st time trying Air BNB. We are glad for our 1st time we got to be at Amit's place. Though he wasn't there he was very helpful and great host. Left some chips and salsa and most important beer and bottled water. It really was a good experience. Since Amit was such a good host we will for sure try it again. Thanks Amit. 
1148536,10260131,2014-02-10,1840681,Christopher,"Our stay at Amit's place was perfect. We had high expectations going into the trip and we were still impressed with the place and Amit's service. 

What impressed us the most was Amit's attention to detail and willingness to help at the drop of a hat. Whenever I had a question, he texted back within minutes.

I will stay here 10 out of the next 10 times I come to Austin."
1148536,10548371,2014-02-24,43504,Amar,"Great place - in an up and coming area of Austin. Walking distance to bars. Pretty easy to get cabs right at the corner. Amit has an amazing back yard and a stylish house. Beds were very comfortable. Hookahs everywhere!

This place is great for ~2-3 couples, or for a group of friends, for a visit to Austin. Thanks again Amit. "
1148536,10997246,2014-03-17,2966838,Miriam,"Myself and 4 coworkers stayed at Amit's home for the music portion of SXSW and we had a fantastic experience. Amit is a wonderful host. He greeted us at the door when we first arrived and gave us a tour of the house, explained how to turn on the backyard lights, where to find various items in the house, etc. He also stocked the kitchen with chips and salsa as well as various refreshments. The house is gorgeous and spacious and very comfortable for 5 people. All of the appliances are brand new and CLEAN! The master bedroom has it's own bathroom and the shower is luxurious! The backyard is the perfect layout for grilling and hanging out. The location of the house is ideal if you plan to spend any time on Rainey Street, which in my opinion is the best bar area in Austin. By the time we checked out, I felt as though I was leaving a home away from home. Nothing but positive things to say about Amit and our experience in his home."
1148536,11185543,2014-03-24,12179824,Ryan,It was an amazing stay - highly recommended for a unique Austin experience in a great location! Thanks Amit
1148536,11353507,2014-03-31,11917773,Terry,"We had a great time  at Amit place. Everything was like said, the house nice and presentable and when we come back to Austin we'll probably stay there thanks for the party favors."
1148536,11590967,2014-04-08,12577528,Taylor,"A few of my CouponPal coworkers and I traveled to Austin for a business trip and had the pleasure of renting Amit's East Austin home. Not only was the home beautiful but Amit's generous hospitality was truly above and beyond. 

bonus: Walking distance to Ladybird lake and numerous bars and restaurants. "
1148536,11755071,2014-04-14,3580135,Noah,Had a fantastic time! Amit's place is even better in person. He was a great host and made sure our stay was top-notch.

1148536,12820444,2014-05-12,12477695,Roshni,The host was great and super responsive.  Also the info about the place is accurate and the pictures are spot on!  Plus the bathrooms are nice and clean.  We were 7 people so 6 people took the 3 beds and one person took the sofa. The kitchen was fully equipped for meals. 
1148536,13408782,2014-05-27,7344876,Bradford,"This place is absolutely amazing!!!! Super clean and Amit is an awesome host! A very designer oriented place with nice amenities! Amit left us some treats which we drank and were very merry! Amit's place is walking distance to most of East Side - we even walked to the Capitol! 

If I ever visit Austin again, which i hope is in the near future, I will definitely be hitting up Amit again - I hope it's available!

Amit was able to make accommodations for 7 of my friends and I. Everybody was able to have a bed! Two bathrooms really helped out! "
1148536,14636819,2014-06-23,393698,Marykate,"Amit's place was great. Big, bright, clean, and in a perfect location. He was really communicative before and during our stay, and gave us some great suggestions for food and drinks in the area. The whole experience was comfortable, friendly, and welcoming. We'd definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend it to visitors to Austin."
1148536,14972040,2014-06-30,15730382,Nicolas,Very friendly host. We didn't have a chanve to meet but he answered all my questions quickly and was very friendly. Good location and nice place
1148536,15324896,2014-07-07,3983995,Lindsey,"Amit was very accommodating, super friendly, and his home is beautiful. I highly recommend staying here. It's on dt Austin's doorstep. Easy to walk to bars on Rainey or and a super cheap cab ride to anywhere in the city. "
1148536,15789688,2014-07-15,11120551,Matthew,"The house was absolutely amazing! There was plenty of room for the six of us and having 2.5 bathrooms was great to help get ready in the morning. We were very close to Rainey Street, which is always fun and a short pedi-cab ride from Sixth Street. Amit was a great host, we arrived in Austin earlier than expected and he was more than happy to let us head to the house, he even brought us to the grocery store so we could get some essentials for our weekend. Next time I head to Austin, I plan to stay at this house!"
1148536,16118714,2014-07-22,13239340,Tye,"Amit was such a great host and his place couldn't have been more perfect for me and my five girlfriends. I live in Austin and would definitely recommend his place, especially if you're looking for something walking distance from downtown or the Rainey Street area. The beds were comfortable, place was tidy, and the backyard was great for entertaining!

Thanks, Amit! "
1148536,16939248,2014-08-04,4428407,Eric,"Place was great.  Location was awesome.  Amit was super responsive and a welcoming host.  Place has a ton of natural light (recommend bringing a sleep mask if you don't like waking up at sunrise though).  Overall, great experience."
1148536,17875483,2014-08-18,11168788,Dan,"Amit was very kind to us from the get go and provided us a nice tour of the place right when we arrived. The house looks just like it does in the pictures, and the beds were actually comfier than expected - as in it was like sleeping in a cloud. Very unique spot with chalkboard wall bathroom and awesome UT mural, as well as high quality fixtures etc. Loved it!"
1148536,18304060,2014-08-25,15681374,Casey,"Amit was wonderful. He made an accommodation to meet me 1 day early to pick the keys up and gave me and one of my guests a tour of the house. He took the time to give us a kitchen overview of where to find cooking gear as well as letting us know where some hidden light switches were. 

The house was immaculate and exactly as expected based on the photos. The location of the house was extremely convenient to all kinds of great things to do in and near downtown Austin. We were able to take a 5 minute Uber ride (for under $10) to the heart of 6th street. 

We will absolutely consider staying here again. Thanks Amit!"
1148536,20142885,2014-09-24,1006017,Andrew,Amit met me when I checked in and even offered to take me to the grocery store and back cause there's not one close by. He had beer and chips waiting for us and that about sums up how great a host he was!
1148536,20247837,2014-09-26,20971707,Carrie,"Amit could not have been more hospitable or accommodating. He was very responsive, and we never had to wait very long to hear back from him. The house is super adorable, plus central and close to many downtown and east side attractions. Highly recommended.  "
1148536,20364805,2014-09-28,20979530,Ruaraidh,"An excellent place to stay, with an excellent host. Amit was there to welcome us and give us the tour, as well as providing handy tips for local things-to-do. He was also on point to respond to any calls or texts during our stay.

The house is great, nicely furnished and has all mod-cons. Furthermore, it's in a superb location from which you can easily walk to both the city centre and river, and also get onto the freeway in a matter of minutes. Good value and would definitely consider staying again."
1148536,20815132,2014-10-06,3092387,Tarryn,"Amit was a spectacular host!  Our flight arrived late in the evening, but upon our arrival we were pleasantly greeted by Amit, he even had some welcome gifts waiting for us!  His  house even better than his description on airbnb - it was truly a home away from home. The house nicely furnished and very spacious! The backyard was the best part, we spent numerous hours in the back just hanging out. His place is in a great  location just a short walk to Rainey Street! Amit went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and settled in. He also responded quickly to any calls or texts we made  during the stay. Overall we highly recommend Amit’s home to anyone visiting the Austin area! "
1148536,21193618,2014-10-13,15734113,Michael,Great place - absolutely no complaints.  Close to Rainey Street which was awesome.  Clean place and Amit was a friendly and responsive host.
1148536,21826816,2014-10-25,5992759,Matt,"Amit was responsive, helpful, and informative.  The place was FANTASTIC.   Well appointed, unique, a real hidden gem...yet very accessible to downtown.   Just minutes away from everything.  We loved it. "
1148536,22109242,2014-10-30,16757555,Beela,We were really excited about the house from the photos. When we arrived his mother was there to greet us and hand us the keys. The house was spotless and he left us a lovely bottle of wine on the counter! He checked in on is regularly and made is feel right at home. Will definitely reach out to Amit next time we are in Austin! 
1148536,22520681,2014-11-09,19050061,Dan,"Amit was a very welcoming host. When we arrived, he met us at his place and had a list of very good reccomendations on places to go and things to do. The location was perfect, walking distance to Rainey St. The house was perfect for three couples. We hope to be back soon."
1148536,22830417,2014-11-16,20892289,Michael,"Amit was a phenomenal host and more than accommodating prior to and during our stay at both of his houses (he owns two adjoining units). He kept in contact and made sure we had everything we needed while in Austin. 

The homes were exactly as advertised, if not better! We had 13 people (6 in one house and 7 in the other) and there was the perfect amount of space. The location is tough to beat - 5 minute walk to Rainey Street and very short cab ride (or reasonable walk) to east 6th Street. I will definitely try to book these units again next time I'm staying in Austin!"
1148536,23053668,2014-11-21,874842,Chris,Amit was a great host!  He was very flexible with our check in time and accommodated our travel and meeting schedule.  The home is exactly as described and very comfortable.  The location is unbeatable.  I highly recommend this place.
1148536,24587584,2014-12-31,22735827,Adam,"We had a wonderful experience staying in Amit's apartment. It is in a great neighborhood that is full of new restaurants, cafes, and even a great yoga studio, but it is one not overrun by tourists. The apartment is comfortable both for relaxing and sleeping. The linens are excellent. Amit was an extremely responsive host, and there were snacks and wine awaiting us upon our rather late arrival. We would recommend it. "
1148536,25550812,2015-01-19,24385147,Dave,Could not have had a better experience at Amit's home. His accommodations were just as he described and in a perfect area. We were walking distance from the best street in Austin and the Colorado River. On our next trip to Austin there is no doubt this would be our first option. 
1148536,26220237,2015-02-07,20625453,Kate,"Amit was an amazing host! He was prompt in replying, very friendly, and made us feel completely welcome and comfortable staying in his home. He even made time to check up on us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. He was truly the best host you could ask for! Also, his place is in a great location with quick access to various parts of Austin. Overall, great experience here!"
1148536,26933589,2015-02-22,9448003,Alan,"Amit was an awesome host. Upon letting him know that this was a bachelor party, he made sure there were beers ready in the fridge free of charge by the time we got in. He was very attentive and made sure all of our needs were met. 

The location was super close to Rainey street and La BBQ, which really made the trip. I am definitely planning on rebooking this place when I come back in September. "
1148536,27274862,2015-03-01,7624185,Nina,"This place is AMAZING. I was ready to move in and spend the rest of the winter is Austin. This place was a wonderful mirage in the desert after spending a less than lux stay in a poo-poo smelling hotel in Dallas. I would definitely come back. Amit was kind enough to give us a great list of recs around Austin, if only I had had more time to check them out. 
RAIN SHOWER HEADS. Need I say more. "
1148536,27624167,2015-03-08,28647881,Chris,This place was conveniently located.  We were able to walk to a lot of places downtown like 6th street.  Amit was very nice and went out of is way to accommodate.  The place fit us 6 guys comfortably and could definitely fit more.
1148536,27986897,2015-03-16,10561960,Richard,Great host and place to stay in Austin . Really near all of the bars shops and restaurants 
1148536,28295322,2015-03-22,13820175,Amanda,"Amit was a great host!  Although we never met, we all felt extremely welcome.  He left us beverages in the fridge as well as chips and salsa - a very sweet gesture.  It's a cool pad and we very much enjoyed our stay during SXSW.  It's a little walk from the main drag of the conference, but overall a manageable commute.  My ONLY complaint is that during our last two days of our stay, we seemed to run out of hot water in one of our showers.  Not an issue that would deter us from staying here again, however.  Thank you for your hospitality, Amit!"
1148536,29732372,2015-04-12,1120641,Douglas,"This was a great house to host a group of friends in town for the weekend! It was fresh and clean and had plenty of room and a great backyard. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. It is walking distance to Rainey Street bars and restaurants, and just a short Uber ride (Less than $10) to the downtown area. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a spot in Austin!"
1148536,30193969,2015-04-19,24842051,John,"Amit was a fantastic host and the place was exactly as advertised.  He was very good about getting back to me with all of my questions.  Location was great, Rainey St is right around the corner and 6th isn't too far after that.  Backyard is an ideal hang out spot.  "
1148536,30668454,2015-04-26,27171428,Cindy,The host Amit was extremely accommodating and gracious. The neighborhood is close to Rainey street as he had described and he gave us great recommendations on restaurants and local spots to check out! 
1148536,31901282,2015-05-11,28753633,Sean,"Amit was a great host and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay and had what we needed.  He even offered to head to the store to get some provisions for us before we arrived...which we didn't end up taking up the offer on, but it was a nice courtesy.  The home was exactly as described and a short walk to the awesome bars and food on Rainey Street.  We all enjoyed our stay and only wished for better weather to take advantage of the awesome back yard the home also offers.  "
1148536,33064929,2015-05-25,25768591,Allison,Amit was a great host! The rentals were perfect for a bachelorette weekend. We rented both sides and had more than enough space for 11 girls. The houses were found perfectly clean and Amit even left champagne for us to celebrate with! The location is great - an easy walk to Rainey street. Amit was easy to communicate with and always had a quick response. I will definitely stay here again when I visit Austin! 
1148536,33778039,2015-06-01,15200239,Andrew,"Amit is the man.  Great house, great location, tons of space.  I would definitely stay here again."

1148536,38094972,2015-07-13,4292464,David,Amit was a fantastic host.  The place was absolutely ideal for what we were looking for.  We were in Austin to celebrate a bachelor party with a group of friends and he was more than helpful with setting up the place and making sure that we had everything we needed.  Everywhere we wanted to go was right around the corner.   Could not have asked for a better experience.  
1148536,38874994,2015-07-19,29007059,Alvin,"Great house and place to stay in Austin! Walking distance to Rainey St. and a fun stay for big groups. Well-supplied with amenities, too. "
1148536,39736549,2015-07-26,3104811,Stephen,Amit was great and the place was perfect for our large group.  Easily walkable to Rainey St. and a very short Uber ride to anywhere else.  Could not recommend more!

1148536,45792460,2015-09-06,8797892,Eva,"Amit was fantastic. He was always quick to answer my questions and was very responsive. I visited Austin for my bachelorette, and he gave us great tips of where to float. The house was perfect for us girls, lots of sleeping quarters and very clean. He even came over in person and greeted us and made sure we were all set. I definitely recommend this spot!"
1148536,46710329,2015-09-13,36795666,Thomas,"Amit was a fantastic host! He was extremely helpful both leading up to and during our stay. He had great suggestions about the city, and any question I had about the location was answered very quickly. 
He made sure to be available if there were any issues with our stay (there weren't).
The listing description was very accurate and in a great location.
10 minute walk to Rainey Street was perfect! All in all this was a fantastic trip and a really great way to experience Austin. I would definitely recommend Amit to anyone who wants to experience Austin the right way!!
Thanks Amit!"
1148536,47606830,2015-09-21,16147696,Taryn,"Great location, just a short walk to Rainey Street. Amit's place was exactly what we were looking for. We'll definitely stay there again when we're back in Austin."
1148536,48265670,2015-09-25,2125257,Jen,"We absolutely loved our stay.  Perfect proximity to downtown, but still had a locals-only neighborhood feel.  We had our toddler with us and with a bit of caution the house was completely safe.  Also was great to have the backyard for gatherings.  The beds were especially comfortable and the showers were deluxe!   loved it!!"
1148536,49588847,2015-10-05,4658243,Arti,"Amit's home is so cozy, beautifully decorated and walking distance from all of the Austin hot spots!! "
1148536,51115889,2015-10-18,37613584,Nick,Loved our stay.  Had 10 of us for extended weekend (rented both sides).  The spot was just as advertised.  Quick walk to Rainey St.  Would definitely return again.  
1148536,52037746,2015-10-26,30266783,Steven,Shortly after arriving we discovered a minor issue with the TVs.  Amit was very prompt and responsive in resolving the issue.  The house was clean and modern and well equipped and while not within comfortable walking distance to downtown Austin was a quick drive away.  It was our first time using Airbnb and it was wonderful to return to a home rather than a hotel room after a long day out.  Amit's home is warm and friendly.  We'll be contacting him when we return to Austin.
5144110,25948874,2015-01-30,26743078,Chris,"I had a great experience during my short stay at Rhonda's apartment in east Austin. Rhonda and her fiancé both welcomed me into the home when I arrived and were very friendly. They gave me great recommendations about nearby places to eat and drink, made space in their fridge for me, and made sure the private room and shared bathroom were very clean prior to arrival. 

I would recommend Rhonda's apartment to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay for a few nights in a great location of Austin. "
5144110,26037538,2015-02-01,19878355,Olivia,"Fantastic location, close to plenty of public transportation and delicious food. Rhonda and Jonathan were the sweetest and cutest couple! Very helpful and easygoing. Really cute retro living and kitchen decor, too. The apt is on the smaller side, but it was perfect for a weekend stay for one person. I would totally stay here again! Thanks guys!"
5144110,26401444,2015-02-11,26918562,Andrew,"Great people, good price, great location."
5144110,26500792,2015-02-14,17156759,Karen,"Rhonda and Jonathan were very careful to make sure that there was someone there to meet me. They traded off between them as their schedule and my own schedule firmed up, to make sure I'd be met when I arrived. The room was as described on Airbnb. The neighborhood is a great one, and it's also inside the Car2Go home zone, which is one of the things I needed. All in all it was the perfect solution for what I was looking for. Lastly, I was delighted by Rhonda and Jonathan themselves. They are truly lovely human beings, and I very much enjoyed meeting them."
5144110,26709672,2015-02-17,21058418,Chad,"Rhonda and Jonathan were great! They made me and my girlfriend feel very welcome in their home. They were very friendly to us and quite accommodating. We appreciated their restaurant suggestions. East Austin is a great place to hangout with cool cafes and eateries, and is only a relatively short walk away from UT Austin.

Our favorite was Salty Sow on Manor -- don't miss it! This was our first experience using Airbnb and we loved it!

I was looking for an apartment in Austin for about four days, and the two were consummate hosts. Every morning there was food provided--and of courses more importantly, coffee. Both hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable without being overly interested in my comings and goings. Jonathan even gave me a lot of helpful tips for finding a place to live. I also really liked the location: there was a number of cool restaurants within walking distance, and the apartment is close to both UT and downtown. I'm glad I chose to stay here and will definitely consider if I'm ever in between housing again. "

When I arrived I got a small house tour which made me feel more at home. They had a basket of breakfast items which was handy on the mornings I needed a quick snack before I left to tour Austin. Having the private driveway made parking a cinch, and they are a 10 minute drive from the convention center downtown. The bedroom was decorated and had towels provided. Also, they had great internet and plenty of outlets to charge all of my technology. I highly recommend staying here!"
5144110,42502288,2015-08-13,24639162,Merav,"Rhonda and Jonathan were SUCH great hosts! Their house was cute, clean, and conveniently located.

5144110,46568047,2015-09-11,2545658,Georg,"Perfect airbnb place! Nice, clean room, everything provided, even basic breakfast stuff. Own little half-bathroom was good to have. The rest of the house is shared with another guest and the hosts itself, who are very friendly and nice people, whom I enjoyed talking to.
For me, this is a perfect airbnb example: professional when it comes to cleanliness and facilities, yet you are living with locals in a real home! Highly recommended."

Everything was so clean and the bed was super comfortable. Loved the decorations and art in the home. They left fresh towels & fruit (apples) for our arrival. We also loved having a lock on our bedroom door. Our belongings felt very safe, even though the neighborhood and house hold was very safe as well. The closest was spacious as well as the dresser. The location was perfect, exactly what they had described. It was less than a 5 minute walk to local breakfast and coffee shops. Getting to hot spots (campus, Guadalupe, downtown) was very easy. 15 minute walk to campus and only a $4-5 uber drive. This was our first time using an Airbnb and we are more than satisfied. Hopefully we able to go back to Rhonda and Jonathan's in the spring, we loved it!"

Across the street from Whole Foods and nestled next to bunch of really great restaurants, though if you're on bikes like we were everything is close by (if you haven't planned to rent some or know someone who can lend them to you DO IT!! Total game changer!) anyway...the accommodations were better than we could have ever expected! Fresh fruit, some beers and a locally made ginger perry in the fridge are a delight after a long morning of travel. The place is super spacious, bed so comfy, and the shower has Dr Bronners, shampoo, and conditioner already stocked for you! Communication with the host, Adam was beyond easy. Questions? Concerns? He's at the ready to accommodate you. Look nowhere else, this is the airbnb of your dreams!"

Adam was very hospitable and quick to respond to any concerns or needs you have. Fresh bowl of fruits, chocolate, couple of cans of beer in the fridge, and the Nespresso coffee machine were some of the extra items provided by Adam during the stay. I was a big fan of the small patio area upstairs where you could just sit and relax after a long trip. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable.

The apartment itself was impeccably clean, and complete with toiletries/ espresso.

*Would like to specially note: this was a last minute booking for us, and Adam was very helpful in accommodating us.

Thank you!

Very well maintained and walking distance to great bars and restaurants.  Only negative...apartment backs up to dumpsters from these same bars and was awoken several times throughout the night with trash pick up and dumpsters being emptied.  Not as bad with AC and fan functioning, but was still heard nightly."

Just far away from the noise but only a 1 mile walk to the bars and restaurants on sixth street.  There are also city bikes you can rent for $8 a day with bike stations all around Austin, we were able to use these to explore the UT campus area and South Congress without having to catch a cab.  This apartment is also across the street from the flagship Whole Foods store, this was really convenient! "
5852265,31808009,2015-05-10,6717507,Randi,"This was my boyfriend and I's first time visiting Austin and we are so happy we chose to stay at Adam's place. It is in a very good location (Whole Foods across the street was perfect!) and we were able to walk/bike everywhere. This ended up being super helpful since we didn't end up renting a car and we didn't realize how spread out everything is in the city.

Adam's place is just as it looks in pictures - it has everything you need and was very clean when we arrived. Adam was so quick with communication and answered our many emails asking him for recommendations which was super helpful!

Thanks Adam -  we look forward to staying here again!"

With the central location comes a bit of road and commercial noise, but fine for an early riser. The process was seamless and the unit clean. I hope to stay again on my next trip."

The neighborhood (West Austin) is a great place to walk in and look at the homes.  The area has many restaurants and things to do that are walkable.
Adam let me bring my dog and I appreciated that very much.  Great size for a couple that wants to enjoy all that Austin has to offer."

5852265,36901958,2015-07-02,35914105,Namitha,"This apartment was the perfect location for my trip to Austin. Walking distance to all the great bars on 6th street, yet far enough to enjoy a good night's sleep in this quiet neighborhood. Also, the whole foods nearby was a plus. Adam was a great host, being readily available to answer any questions or concerns. The literature about Austin and its restaurants provided in the apt were a big help in guiding our trip. Thanks for a great stay! "
5852265,37422850,2015-07-06,37268765,Joseph,"Both Adam and the apartment were excellent.  Adam was very responsive to my messages and check-in/out was seamless.  The apartment is in a perfect location as it is right across from whole foods, and just a short walk from many restaurants, bars and the river running trails.  I highly recommend this apartment for anyone looking to stay in the heart of all that Austin has to offer.  "
5852265,37699851,2015-07-09,37087920,Shea,Adam's place was amazing. Will never stay anywhere else in Austin. His spot across the street from Whole Foods is an easy walk to lots of great spots downtown. It's a $4 uber ride to anywhere in downtown and Capitol area. Then about 3-5 miles from Barton Springs and all the great outdoors stuff Austin has to offer. He left us fresh fruit and wine and was around for anything we needed. He hooked us up with great restaurants and it felt like a VIP experience. By far the most pleasant AirBnB stay we have ever had. And best part: it was very reasonably priced. I'll soon be staying at Adam's other places in San Fran and Hawaii. 
5852265,37818795,2015-07-10,3787629,Brittany,"Adam was so warm and welcoming! Quick clear communication. And was so thoughtful to our needs. The unit is so conveniently located to downtown area, and was so cleannnnnnnn and cozy. We want to stay here again the next time we visit Austin!! "
5852265,38307056,2015-07-14,5383441,"Stephen, Dan & Alana","Adam made us feel at ease about staying at this property. It was right in the heart of Austin which is such a wonderful trendy funky area. Great restaurants and cafes to enjoy great food at everywhere. Probably 10 minutes from Downtown and more importantly just across the road from Wholefoods! The apartment was well equipped with comfy bed, clean linen and facilities. It felt homy and trendy. Large enough to entertain if need be yet small enough to relax without annoying fellow traveller...... I would recommend this property without reservation!"
5852265,38547518,2015-07-16,37686224,Dino,Adam was a great host and made sure everything was clean and setup.  Will definitely stay here when i am back in Austin.

5852265,40057637,2015-07-27,39381145,Taylor,"We had the best stay at Adam's place - it is perfectly located, and in such a lively area (but as quiet as can be at night when you're trying to sleep). Thank you for such a fantastic stay- we won't go anywhere else next time we're in Austin!"
5852265,41632832,2015-08-08,1962581,Lexi,"Great! Adam was flexible and lovely, and the apt was convenient and cute!"
5852265,43173465,2015-08-17,13617036,Emmanuel,I was pleasantly surprised with this listing. The view from the patio is exceptional! I lived in Austin during college and I was able to recreate a typical weekend with this location. Adam was lean and efficient with the booking. He includes every detail needed to make this a good stay. He even left fruit for us for free! This was a very pleasant stay.
5852265,43711486,2015-08-21,19959441,Sarah,Great place to stay for a trip in Austin!! We were just there for a couple of nights but the house is very clean and comfortable! We used uber drivers to get everywhere and they had no problem finding us!
5852265,44212601,2015-08-24,40626152,Bo,"Adam's place is conveniently located on the corners of 6th Street and N Lamar, right across from whole foods. Most of downtown was easily accessible. I was able to jog to Zilker Park and the Bat Festival without any issues. Uber and Lyft will take you anywhere from here for only a few dollars. I felt like it was a safe area. The are a couple of downsides that didn't really bother me, it's located right behind a few dumpsters from the 24 hour diner, and there's a lot of road noise in this location. For the price though, and what I was using the place for (just to sleep and as an office) it was fine. I don't you'll find a better proximity to downtown for this price. "
5852265,44841931,2015-08-29,10084156,Margo,"Great location, although it could get noisy at night.  Clean, simple space that worked well for my 4 night stay.  Would stay again."

We didn't get to meet Adam, but he made sure we had plenty of detailed information about arriving and the area."
5852265,46676325,2015-09-12,25149814,Bethany,"Adam's place is great!! Right across the street from one of my favorite restaurants in Austin, 24 Diner. Love this neighborhood and would recommend Adam's place to anyone!"
5852265,46881082,2015-09-14,16756687,Nicholas,"Loved staying at Adam's place. 

Of all of my friends that flew into town for a wedding I think this was the best situated - near the action but far enough away to get some sleep. Having the 24 Diner across the road was perfect for late night snacking.

Adam was also helpful getting us a later checkout despite us asking quite late in the piece so we appreciated that. "
5852265,47439422,2015-09-18,23153061,Kristy,"Our stay in Austin was fantastic and I absolutely loved the apartment. It was very conveniently located, tasteful and comfortable. The balcony is definitely a treat, and we were really happy for the air conditioning in the summer heat!"
5852265,47628377,2015-09-21,32896912,Lauren,"Good stay at Adam's place in Downtown Austin, the location was great. Air conditioning system was very much appreciated considering the heat, and it was wonderful having such a comfortable bed and clean surroundings. "

5852265,48700457,2015-09-28,39187661,Vinati,The apartment is so well-located! Everything is an easy walk or a couple dollars for an Uber. We were very comfortable and the place was spotless. If you want to be close to downtown this is the perfect place. 
5852265,49165200,2015-10-01,8954496,Cari,Adam was easy to work with and his place is really sweet.  It is in a wonderful location with easy access to some of the best spots in Austin.  
5852265,50615825,2015-10-13,34756906,Maradyth,We enjoyed our stay here! The apartment is in a great neighborhood and we loved starting our mornings with breakfast and coffee from Whole Foods. The main reason for our Austin visit was to attend the Austin City Limits music festival and this location was perfect for getting to Zilker Park.

5673558,33049421,2015-05-24,19804306,Stephen,We had a great stay here over the weekend. Scott and his siblings were very nice and accommodating. They are in a great area close to lots of bars/restaurants and the room itself is separated from the main house so it is nice and quiet. Thanks for having us!
5673558,35752204,2015-06-21,31718949,Galo,"Everything just as described, and even better. Nice, quite neighborhood only minutes from downtown. The place was a more than spacious, very clean, and he even left out snacks and bottled water out for me. It was better than a hotel, frankly it was like staying a good friend's house. Five stars! Will definitely be coming back. "
5673558,36162091,2015-06-25,5074670,Hanna,"What a perfect, responsive, precious host Scott was,  Can't sing his praises enough!"

5673558,37008908,2015-07-03,22958123,Thurman,"Scott met us when we arrived showed the room and common areas.  Great location in the center of where we wanted to be, close to our Austin family.  It was a easy drive without having to become entangled with the famous Austin traffic.   Room was clean, bathroom clean and large enough to accommodate my wife and my toiletries without any problems.   Great value: Lots of bang for the bucks."
5673558,37220764,2015-07-05,36092230,Laura,"Our stay in Austin couldn't have been more perfect and we can't thank Scott and his family enough for not only letting us stay at his place but going above and beyond in helping my family and I with a situation we encountered while we were there. When we arrived Scott met us outside to show us where we would be staying and made sure we had all the information we needed in order to make our stay comfortable. The house is conveniently located to a lot of different things without having to deal with a lot of traffic. There is a few places to eat within walking distance that we tried out. My favorite was the fruit filled pancakes that you can find at Pacha. I recommend the banana ones or the Pear, Bacon and Chive pancakes. I could go on and on about how good our stay was but you would be here all day reading. I highly recommend Scott's place to stay at. I promise you will not be disappointed. I give this listing 5 stars!!!

Thank you Scott for you kindness and generosity and will definitely be choosing your place to stay at in the future."
5673558,37532191,2015-07-07,36820857,El Rolo,"This was our first time using AIR BNB. Scott did a great job communicating with us and making us feel comfortable.

Thanks again Scott!"
5673558,38306401,2015-07-14,5360450,Sarah,"Scott was very communicative and responsive throughout my stay and the booking process. The room is very comfortable, with a wonderful deck to hang out on. Everything was clean, and he made sure to provide extra linens, some light snacks and wine and beer! The neighborhood is also amazing--as a native Austinite it's one of my favorite parts of the city these days. Both North and South Austin are very accessible without having to deal with too much traffic. Definitely recommend staying here for a fun visit to Austin! "

Big recommendation when you´re heading to exciting Austin!!!"
5673558,39809285,2015-07-26,29539454,Margaret,"Scott welcomed us with a basket of treats and some wine. We really enjoyed staying at his place. It was private, quiet, and a very comfortable bed.  It was close to downtown which is one reason why we stayed there. "
5673558,40013213,2015-07-27,266880,Cyndy,"Perfect, quiet space for a visit to the Austin area to see friends.  Thank you Scott for your hospitality.   "
5673558,40402188,2015-07-30,39483859,Diego,"Scott es un gran anfitrión y responde inmediatamente a las consultas. A mi llegada estaba todo perfectamente preparado, incluyendo abundantes snacks. La habitación está separada de la casa principal, y en todo momento pude disfrutar de silencio y privacidad.  La habitación y el cuarto de baño son amplios, y la cama muy cómoda. Además, la ubicación es muy buena. Altamente recomendable."
5673558,40543152,2015-07-31,8069419,Doug,"The location was great, Scott was great. He and I never met because I was out at meetings most of the time but check-in was easy and convenient, and the space was nice, a huge room, private bathroom, good location.  Free WIFI easy to connect to, good work desk."
5673558,41639663,2015-08-08,37812373,Aakarshita,"I stayed at Scott's home for a week and I had zero complaints. Everybody made me feel very welcome, and the neighborhood is quiet but quite close to downtown (10-15 minutes drive). The room was very clean and staying here is an exceptional way to experience Austin! I would highly recommend it. "
5673558,43593028,2015-08-20,3587851,Julia,Scott's home was nice and neat. He was very flexible and accommodating with our changing flight schedule. The home was located in a great neighborhood. It was close to good food and attractions. We loved that there was plenty of bottled water in the fridge and snacks in the room.
5673558,44785196,2015-08-29,38165198,Monique,Scott was a wonderful host! He met me outside and gave me a brief tour of the amenities. He left contact information and ensured that I was set up for the week. The room was quiet and comfortable. I loved my stay!
5673558,45391264,2015-09-02,30541031,Brandi," I had a little mix-up upon finding the apartment (my fault), but was redirected to the right spot. It's a perfect spot to crash after being out and about in Austin. Scott also let me use his washer and dryer (life-saver!) This location is about 10 minutes from UT also! I was visiting the school and it was perfect!"
5673558,46716251,2015-09-13,37915269,Vikki,"The room was exactly what I was hoping for, clean, quite and easy access to downtown.  I would stay there again and would highly recommend it to out of townees. Only one thing I would change.. that I did have a nightmare about was the big 49er flag on the wall, since I did stay the night before the 2015/16 season but I go over it!  Everyone has to have a team! Go Dolphins!
Thanks for a great Adventure Scott!"
5673558,47431038,2015-09-18,6669749,Edda,"Everything went absolutely perfect. We didn't get to meet Scott personally though but the whole communication was very good and we found the keys very easily even though he wasn't home. Scott had also made a list for us over fun things to do in Austin. It was amazing. We tried most of it we had the best experience!
The room is very private and clean with the best bed ever. There is even a private balcony which we enjoyed a lot. We shared the kitchen and bathroom with Scott's younger brother whom we didn't meet either. Everyone is very discreet in the house :-)
The house is located in a very cosy neighborhood with some excellent restaurants and cafes. The bus drives by not far away from the house and takes you downtown but the public transport in the city is not the best so we were happy to have a car to be able to experience everything Austin has to offer. And it is a great city!!

Her house is beautiful and incredibly clean, the beds were comfortable, and she was super helpful and communicative.

Jenny was flexible with us when we checked in at a later time. She was friendly but gave us our space. Additionally, her home is amazing. We basically had the whole house to ourselves and was allowed to choose between two different bedrooms to sleep in. It was beyond a clean and beautiful home. Finally, the location was perfect. We only had to walk about three minutes and we were on Barton Springs where we had ample restaurants and live music venues to choose from. I would stay at her home again in a heartbeat."

The rooms were  sparsely furnished, but clean, and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was also spotless. There was plenty of air conditioning! Though we didn't need to adjust the thermostat, we liked that we could have if we had wanted/needed to. We'd highly recommend Jenny's  house. It's walking distance to nearby restaurants on Barton Springs Rd., and a $5-7 Uber ride to Zilker Hillside. We would definitely stay here again!"

Would definitely come back here again! "

Jenny is a very friendly and gracious host, who even bought us snacks. Jenny's location is a prime location to explore Austin. She is located off a central drag on South Lamar that is home to the original Alamo Drafthouse Theater, as well as many interesting storefront galleries and delicious food trucks. You can explore many of the best thing Austin has to offer on foot by staying with Jenny. I also found her very courteous and professional in every social interaction I had with her.

Car services were easy to use as well as taxis to get us to and from the home.  The community was quiet, home was gorgeous, and everyone felt comfortable.  Janice was extremely friendly and easy to work with.  She communicated everything we needed to know and so promptly.  Sadly enough, my trip was cancelled due to a last minute change, but my two other members of my team went and stayed at Janice's place.  We were very honest about our situation and Janice was so easy to work with and made their stay very nice.  We would absolutely stay here again in the future.  Thanks again, Janice!"

4377885,30353507,2015-04-20,6492588,Divya,"We had a great time staying at this house in East Austin. The surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but its in  a gated community so you feel pretty safe and isolated. The set up is like a town home with a garage living room, kitchen, half bath and laundry room on your first floor and the 2 bedrooms and baths on the 2nd. House is adorable and fully furnished/decorated. Janice was quick to respond to all questions I had before I arrived. I would recommend staying here! "

The house pristine, and the bed made me wish it was my own. Just a few minutes North of the Texas campus, Nav creates a home in a safe neighborhood and left me countless tips for restaurants and site-seeing (I wish I had had more time!). There were fresh towels and blankets, and I felt like I could relax there after my long days work. 

I would recommend this house to anyone and everyone. Great location, great accommodation, and even better hospitality! 

Thanks, Nav!!!"

4067659,35403599,2015-06-18,34046295,Yu,The house is great ！ Well designed and Nav is a friendly person! I like it a lot.
4067659,35516028,2015-06-19,142776,Spencer,Nav's place was AMAZING.  I couldn't have been happier.  Top of the line comfort here.  Not to mention that he was personable and friendly and easy to talk to.  Two thumbs up!
4067659,36399549,2015-06-28,3068287,Zach,"This place is top notch. The place is well-designed and clean. As a host, Nav went above and beyond the call of duty. He took extra steps to make my stay enjoyable, and even helped me out when I lost my wallet. The location is great too - close to downtown and right next to some unique stores and restaurants. I'd highly recommend staying here. "
4067659,36984187,2015-07-03,16159020,Tiffany,"Where is the 10 star rating option?? :) On a serious note, I loved everything about my Austin visit! 

Nav's home is gorgeous! Stunning design. The pictures can do no justice for the beauty of this place! I walked in the door with dim lights & soft music playing.

Nav left a charming welcome note on my private bedroom door after I arrived late in the evening. I discovered a wonderful list of recommendations to explore in Austin on the dresser in my room. Nav had all of his contact info listed, and was always available if needed. The bed? Sooooo nice! Slept like a baby!

Nav made me feel like his home was mine during my stay. I had access to my own private bathroom, all common areas, including the kitchen, where he kindly offered milk, o.j. & cereal in the morning.

On the last night, I shared a glass of wine with Nav & his girlfriend. Felt like I was visiting friends in town. Truly exceptional experience!! Thank you so much for your kindness & hospitality Nav! :)"
4067659,37265275,2015-07-05,25329857,Misty,"Nav and his girlfriend were great hosts. It was our first airbnb experience and it was exceptional.  His home was clean and comfortable, but his company was what made it so great.  He and his lady friend took us out, and we're so incredibly welcoming.  Would absolutely suggest his home for a stay in the future, I know we will be repeat guests.  "
4067659,38001861,2015-07-12,332815,Kenny,"I booked Nav's place for my colleague, who was in town on a business trip for a week.  Nav was very responsive during booking process.

He liked the neighborhood and had a great time staying at Nav's house."

The pictures are accurate. The place is pretty spectacular!  Will definitely refer others. And oh, Gypsy, the house mascot/chihuahua is one of the cutest dog I've encountered and such a lover. "
4067659,40300592,2015-07-29,37632669,Kelly,"It's pretty telling when your Airbnb gives you interior design inspiration. Nav's house was incredibly designed, inside and out. He was very nicely communicable and accommodating even though I booked at the very last minute. The bed is amazing. Staying here was an experience in itself!"

The house was on a quiet street in a great location right off of Guadelupe, so we were very close to where we wanted to explore. We really couldn't have asked for more!"
4067659,42947001,2015-08-16,20530422,Nicolas,"Wow, Nav's home is awesome! He and his girlfriend were very welcoming. The location was great and just a few minutes from downtown.

4067659,43537740,2015-08-20,34204567,Jayce,I live in Austin but rented Nav's AirBnB for my father who was in town visiting. Nav was fantastic and made him feel right at home.

4067659,51904235,2015-10-25,42626010,Diane,Nav and his girlfriend made me extremely welcome to their beautiful home. The photos do not do this lovely house justice. The instructions provided by Nav were very good. I used public transport to travel to Downtown Austin and always felt safe in this neighbourhood. There are bus stops and a metro nearby.

The room itself was perfect for my needs. I was on a solo trip to explore Austin, and this was a great home base. Larissa also provided detailed recommendations for dining and other activities near the house and throughout Austin. Would definitely recommend.  "
6750381,37387737,2015-07-06,36390007,Kirsten,"We really enjoyed our stay in the sand suite!!! It was a great location with easy access to everything we wanted to do/see.

6750381,38970968,2015-07-19,31242231,Nieka,Larissa was an excellent host. She has these really cool remote control fans and lighting so you never have to get out of bed to turn off the light. She mastered offering a home/hotel experience. Parking was really easy. The walls are very thin with the adjacent room. The location was easily accessible to I-35 and very close to dining. Great experience. 
6750381,44487658,2015-08-26,22967819,Tamara,I truly enjoy staying in the Sand Suite.  The location is perfect and everything I could possibly need is provided by the hostess. I especially enjoy having a full kitchen with a nice  fridge that has cold water and ice always available. I often travel to Austin for work and plan on staying at this location whenever possible.

5455158,27611176,2015-03-08,18935808,Andrew,"The apartment is in a great location just across the river from Downtown and not far from South Congress.  The average Uber fair was $5 everywhere we went. 

The apartment was clean and cozy as described.  Sean was very accommodating with check-in and check-out times and responded quickly to any inquiries I had. "
5455158,27892216,2015-03-14,4456209,Danielle,"I had a fantastic stay! The place really nice, the bed is comfortable, the TV is enormous, the pool helps in the Texas heat. The location is a little outside of the heart of Austin, but it was easy enough to drive downtown or catch an Uber or Lyft. I'd definitely stay there again, and he is a really accommodating host! "
5455158,28434349,2015-03-23,16917152,Amy,"Sean was an excellent host! The apartment was clean, comfortable and the pool/pool area was lovely! Rain kept us from being able to walk downtown and due to the nature of SXSW, Uber rides were extremely expensive. Sean gave us a parking pass for the apartment complex which was helpful. Just south of the apartment (on south 1st street) has lots of cool restaurants/ food trucks/shops which was a nice change of pace from being downtown! Overall Sean was great, he brought us an iron per our request and communication before, during and after the trip was seamless.  "
5455158,29880177,2015-04-13,25430867,Tricia,"This apartment is fantastic and my bf and I loved our experience.  The apartment, patio, and complex are beautiful, and it has great walking convenience to the downtown and other areas.  Home was very comfortable and welcoming overall.  Great deal!  Strongly recommended!"
5455158,31462303,2015-05-05,4148254,Jasper,We enjoyed our stay very much and liked how we were close to everything.  We walked to the park on multiple occasions and Uber rides were very cheap from here.  We appreciated our host's responsiveness to our questions.  Thank you Sean.
5455158,31838477,2015-05-10,27922369,Christopher,"Sean was very accommodating last minute. The previous reservation I had was canceled six days prior to my flight and Sean was able to have everything ready in time. The apartment was comfortable and within walking distance to downtown. In some cases, my gf and I had to take ubers but it was cheap. Good location and place to stay in Austin."
5455158,32004422,2015-05-12,6323088,Jonathan,"This air bnb experience was perfect. The apartment was ideal in location, amenities and decor. The pool was a great way to swim off a bit of a hangover and the area was great to explore the wonderful things that Austin has to offer. Sean was extremely communicative and was really flexible about check in and out times. If I m ever in Austin again It would be a pleasure to stay there again. Many Thanks"

5455158,46193877,2015-09-08,22737308,Joe,"Sean was always accommodating and location is perfect across the bridge from downtown.  Your just 1 mile from the famous 6th street bars and cocktails, and close the  10 mile bike/jogging trail on Lady Bird Lake.  Apartment is clean and good pool to lounge. No Microwave, but has stove and oven with full size fridge with freezer. No cable TV, but has WiFi Available. Used WiFi and stayed out majority of the time exploring the Food Adventures of Austin.  Comfortable Bed, and AC is strong, to keep you cool in the hot TX heat.  Has a nice Balcony.  You are also less than a mile away from several boutique coffee shops and awesome breakfast tacos, Torchy's Taco, open at 7am.

We called Erica to inform her of our discomfort. She quickly apologized and gave us a full refund which we used to book another airbnb managed by Erica. We were very pleased with the new place on W. 34th st. It was clean and had enough beds to accommodate my family. I was very pleased with the effort Erica took to make sure we were happy and comfortable. I would book an airbnb with Erica again. 
Thank you. "
4267075,27698630,2015-03-09,23157314,Kaitlyn,"The house was wonderful. Just a nice as it looked in the pictures and. It was a great place for a group of people. Only a few miles to downtown, short cab/uber ride. Sleeps nine comfortably. Would definitely recommend it to others. We never met the host but was still very hospitable. "
4267075,28073388,2015-03-17,18596461,Alexander,"Do yourself a favor and AVOID booking at all costs. The house smelled terribly (like fish and bleach) and I had little to no response from Erica or her boss. 

Upon arrival there also was no toilet paper and the house was barely swept up. 

Turnkey rentals is should be ashamed for misleading AirBnBers and should remove this house immediately."

She left us a fantastic gift basket, which was unnecessary but appreciated and it was with true appreciation that we left the basket for her next guests.   Some of the light switches were confusing, as was playing here audio receiver, but in the end we figured everything out and had no problems.  I would definitely recommend this rental!"
4545175,30239023,2015-04-19,30269416,Sean,"Absolutely beautiful home in the perfect Austin neighborhood - walk to great restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks and live music. Molly is a fantastic host, extremely responsive and very helpful with providing local knowledge. Can't wait to visit again. "
4545175,30730903,2015-04-26,5068101,Tamara,Wow!!! You won't find a nicer home and better area to experience Austin. The art is stunning throughout the home. No detail forgotten! Better than a 5 star resort. Can't wait to come back! 
4545175,31796938,2015-05-10,19979496,Pablo,"Let me just start off by saying that pictures do not do this beautiful home justice. It's beautifully decorated. Communication with Molly was great and I'm glad nothing came up. She left beer for us if we wanted it and we Tasted it and was quite delicious! Absolutely love the neighborhood as well, everything was so close and we barely had to drive anywhere. Will definitely be coming back when possible. Thank you Molly!  "
4545175,33112769,2015-05-25,14807920,Margaret,"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this unique and beautiful Austin home.  The location was very convenient to a variety of restaurants, bars and shopping, but the home itself was the highlight of our trip!  The architectural and interior design really capture the beauty and creativity of Austin.  We would happily stay again and recommend to anyone else planning a trip to Austin.  "
4545175,47857450,2015-09-21,18945882,Stephanie,"Molly's house was beyond stunning.  The pictures don't do justice for this beautiful home.  It was exactly as described with a gorgeous open kitchen and living room.  Molly had left us some local treats to enjoy upon our arrival.  There was more than enough room for all 7 of us girls to sleep comfortably.  Location was perfect, just off S. Congress and only a 5 minute Uber ride to the restaurants and bars downtown.  I  would be happy to stay here again and appreciate the hospitality and easy communication with Molly."
4545175,49538629,2015-10-04,3650055,Ari,"Molly was such a great host! Six of us stayed at the house for ACL Weekend 1. The house was very clean and they had everything we needed. Molly even left us a care package for the festival. I cannot say enough positive things about Molly and the house. If the house is available, stay in it!

Thanks again Molly!"
4545175,50380359,2015-10-11,19979496,Pablo,"Let me just say that whenever I come to Austin, I ALWAYS contact Molly to see if her home is available. She's always there if anything is needed and goes above and beyond for the renter. Location, home, everything is awesome. "

Lots of walking distance options for food, drink, and plain wandering. VERY Austinish. I'd love to stay here every time I return to Austin!"
4545175,52038698,2015-10-26,12809911,Jen,A group of 6 of us were lucky enough to get ahold of this great home. The space was perfect for us to all be in the great room and enjoy one another's company. The bed in the master was dreamy and dream we did- well rested after late local nights out. The house is very much as described and the location couldn't have been better to explore many parts of Austin. Molly was great with her suggestions and communication and our entire group were very happy campers. Thank you again for your hospitality!
3154788,16534112,2014-07-28,4989836,Jill,The house was great. Close to great shops and the bus if you don't drive like me. The room was super comfy. And the cat was sweet a cuddly!
3154788,18146791,2014-08-22,19704626,Kyrié,"Rachel and her place was so lovely, airy, bright and fun! I had actually booked only one night for my mom to stay since she was arriving a day before me. She called that night, oohing and awe-ing about how beautiful it was, that there was wine on the counter and leftovers in fridge! She was so delighted, and so sad when we moved to another airbnb for the remainder of our trip together. That place ended up not being a good fit and Rachel made accommodations to let us come back and spend the rest of the weekend! My mom took pictures and notes of all the tags of things she liked;) Rachel also have many great recommendations!"
3154788,18219594,2014-08-23,14126736,Crystal,Rachel's home is cute and comfy! I slept well and enjoyed my stay!

4438367,28127792,2015-03-18,3942187,John,"He has no furniture in his bedroom. We had to sneak into the building because he wasn't answering. It was so dusty and ill-kept my allergies prevented me from sleeping properly. I had to basically trick the building's WiFi into thinking I was a permanent resident, and open an account, to get online. He left sheets with bloodstains in the dryer for us to cover a mattress that just was lying on the floor, and he left all kinds of boxes full of unsorted stuff lying around. There were even posters and framed pictures just leaning on the back of the couch, and held in place by a closed closet door that I guess you aren't supposed to open (or it will fall). He didn't respond to anything at the moment of arrival and his instructions (a friend will meet you there) turned out not to be true (no friend, we never got contact info for a friend, we just tailgated into the building and opened the unlocked apartment door). The whole house was unclean, unkempt, and strangely organized (who puts clean dishes under the kitchen sink??) Finally, most of the pictures, including the one of a nice kitchen, are of the building amenities, not of the actual place."
7385907,49614738,2015-10-05,40818322,Jamie,"My husband and I stayed at Rebeccas condo for ACL, and we had a great experience. Communication went very smoothly as well. The location is great! If you just need a place to lay your head and shower, this place is more than accommodating!"
7385907,50634650,2015-10-13,12884637,Jesse,Beautiful place and great area. Sarah (Rebecca's sister) made us feel welcome (and started us off with some tea) upon our arrival. The condo has a great view and was perfect for our purposes (walking distance to ACL and Austin night life). I would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.
270320,990064,2012-03-12,182205,Piers,"First class accommodation. You wouldn't realize that it's a family home with kids. There were several of us colleagues and we all fitted in so well - and still it felt like we had plenty of space to both public and be private. Small treats like coffee and popcorn were greatly appreciated.

Perfect location: On the edge of a hip neighborhood with great nightlife, amazing food options locally and a 20 minute walk downtown.

"
270320,1016015,2012-03-19,1432993,James,"Juiie's place is amazing- A real oasis in Austin. 
The house is gorgeous with big, comfortable rooms and plenty of communal space both inside and out.
Julie was a fantastic host, leaving us really clear information and going out of her way to make sure everything was as perfect as possible for us.
The pool was great to have too and the road was nice and quiet- There was always a big grin on our faces as we pulled up after a hard day's walking around SXSW.
I hope to stay there next time I'm in Austin."
270320,1277251,2012-05-14,118487,Karishma,"We absolutely loved our stay at Julie's place. The house is gorgeous. It has a children's playhouse, porch swing, pool and more. It is a wonderful place for a family vacation or reunion. Julie was incredibly attentive and responsive to all of our needs. She made this such a memorable experience for myself and my friends!"
270320,2860916,2012-11-12,617938,Jim,"The house is exactly as advertised - beautiful kitchen, great living room, comfortable bedrooms, big backyard with a small pool. We stayed a weekend and really enjoyed the house as well as the rest of Austin. It was terrific. They even left some beer and drinks for us - a really nice touch and welcoming gesture. "
270320,3778835,2013-03-14,271909,Nathan,"Julie's place was fantastic, perfect for a big group with lots of space to hang out (both inside and outside). Very easy to get downtown and to the convention centre. It was still a little cold to try the pool out but we had lunch at the table by the pool a couple of times. And if you enjoy cooking the huge kitchen is amazing. Julie was very helpful and arranged everything for us, thanks again for a wonderful stay! "
270320,8813923,2013-11-19,8844552,David,"Great place to stay - very conveniently located, close to downtown & close to the highways - we were there for the F1 race weekend & everything worked out great - Julie was a great host & we'd recommend this place to anyone else looking for a great amount of space in a nice location."
270320,10898980,2014-03-12,3142346,Kimberley,"Fantastic house that was an easy 20 minute walk to town.  Julie and her assistant Vanessa were very responsive to any questions and were incredibly gracious hosts.  Vanessa had the house ready for us in time for our SXSW arrival and stocked the kitchen with essentials for coffee/tea making, light snacks and even made sure the beer/wine fridge had ample beverages for our group.  The house is spacious and comfortable with all the amenities you need.  Would highly recommend Julie's house!  "
270320,20020450,2014-09-22,4845975,Benjamin,"I stayed with my team at this residence during our 2014 activation in Austin.   We were all very pleasantly surprised with the accommodations because of the home itself, the proximity to downtown, and the amenities of East Austin.  The home was spacious, well laid out, and very inviting.  The feeling of seclusion and privacy at the property was also very welcoming - it's like a private oasis inside Austin.  From pool towels to the bowl of personal amenity kits - Julie lays out a great welcome.  From a team perspective, there was plenty of room for us to meet, work, and take on our weekend of activations in downtown.  The neighborhood was also a great surprise given the various local restaurants and establishments that made the stay unique and interesting.  There is also good proximity to the running paths along Ladybird Lake that each of us had a chance to explore.  I would highly recommend this home for larger groups and (with the pool and pre-childproofed areas) families who want a great space for trip to Austin."
270320,22359471,2014-11-04,3839044,Joanne,Julie's home is amazing. Even better than the photos and very accommodating. The neighborhood is great and very close to great food places and bars. 
270320,28157430,2015-03-19,21085221,Greta,Julie was a great host. She responded right away and it was an easy process. The house was amazing and I would definitely recommend. 
270320,49759076,2015-10-06,10138463,Matt,Julie was a great host. She responded right away and it was an easy process. The house was amazing and I would definitely recommend.
4931508,28165109,2015-03-19,11767830,Kate,"This was a lovely home during sxsw! 30 minute walk or 7 minute uber to the action. Lovely neighborhood with good restaurants right around the corner. Cozy, comfy home. Great hosts. Highly recommend!"
2323392,28287476,2015-03-21,8169145,Clay,"The house was charming and comfortable and in a great location near South Lamar - especially good for SxSW being within quick drive of several SxSW venues like the Alamo, the Zach/Topfer, and the Long Center. Luke and Lauren met us at the door and gave us a quick tour of the house, inviting us to make ourselves at home. The neighborhood is quiet (for Austin)."
2323392,49593606,2015-10-05,4169382,Ben,"We were in town for ACL and managed to get this great little spot that was close to shops, food and the festival. It was extremely cute inside and the place was well cleaned. I would highly recommend if staying in Austin."
2323392,50627617,2015-10-13,39717630,Alexander,Luke and Lauren's place was awesome! We came to Austin for ACL and it was the perfect spot. Not too long a walk or drive from great spots and a very short drive to the park! They were helpful and left great suggestions on restaurants and places around!
7207050,38221314,2015-07-13,3003107,Nicole And Oscar,"Gayle is a great person very friendly and cute. The apartment is very nice and in great area near everything, I have a few minutes restaurants, bars, parks and rivers. we have a full gym and a giant swimming pool and well maintained in our condo ... it is one of the better places and I had the luck to host."
7207050,39110743,2015-07-20,38281698,Gabrielle,"Gayle made me and my friend feel very welcome! Her home was nice, clean, and very warm. Definitely an accurate description. Her apartment was also in a really nice, resort-style complex equipped with a really nice salt water pool! Very nice place and location, with easy and convenient access to the highway. Highly recommend."
7207050,43187911,2015-08-17,41320807,Sean,"I had a great experience staying with Gale. Everything was just as advertised. She was very hospitable, and was happy to suggest things to see & do.

The only problem I had was parking at 11 PM on a Saturday, but that wasn't enough to tarnish my visit.

Bonus points for her adorable spaniel mutt "
7207050,44209451,2015-08-24,31221980,Joshua,"Gayle did an amazing job of making me feel welcome in her home. She even took the time to take me on an orientation tour of the amenities available to me. All in all she made the stay feel more like visiting an friend than renting a place to sleep. The bed was excellent, a box springs and two mattresses which caused the temperpedic mattress on top to seem like an amazingly thick memory foam layer. 

On a side note my Verizon iPhone had intermittent signal and dropped calls while in the apartment, but worked well whenever I stepped into the courtyard. The Internet provided in the apartment had good (15mb\4mb) speed but higher latency (249ms). For most common use cases this isn't an issue. Also worth noting there is no TV which seems like such a ubiquitous item that one should be aware of the extra serenity of a home without one. "
7207050,45699755,2015-09-05,38870297,Roy,"Gayle's place is great! The apt was as describe and more! Washing machine, dryer, kitchen, internet was all in working order. Plus Gym, pool and flash comfy bedroom. The apt actually has a rear door facing to a big patio so we had breakfast/lunch there too. Bus stop is right outside the door but if you cook a meal for the house (this includes Dui the dog) you could also get some supermarket rides and maybe some sightseeing :) She also introduced me to her friends, fellow musicians and other good people.

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed staying at Gayle's. She's a great mum, entrepreneur, and woman. For two weeks, Austin became home and  Gayle was and is now like my family."
7207050,46793148,2015-09-13,580674,Alice,"Gayle is a relaxed and outgoing host who is eager to get to know her guests and offer any assistance you may need during your stay.  Her faithful dog Dewey is also sweet, nice, and chill.  The listing description and photos are accurate.  I might add that the Business Center of the complex, with its standalone workstations / terminals, printer, WIFI, and well-stocked coffee machine, was a godsend on days when my work back home demanded attention during my Austin stay.  Coffee choices included Sumatra, French Roast, and Donut Shop.  :)  My only tip is be mindful where you park your car and be sure to ask your host for her helpful guidance on that.  (Written by Alice who booked the unit and Scott who stayed there.)    "
7207050,48406591,2015-09-26,41468447,Misaki,"She is really nice and keep cleaning. It has pool ,gym,computer room and meeting room. "
7207050,48722782,2015-09-28,4956353,Jessica,"Our stay at Gayle's place was perfect. She was really flexible with check in and out and was extra personable. Cell service via T-mobile was nonexistent for some reason, but she had a hot spot set up so we could access the internet. The bed was very comfortable, which I'm super picky about. Access to the pool and gym were bonuses."
7207050,50724537,2015-10-13,46088358,Carson,"Staying with Gayle was great! She was very welcoming, hospitable and personable. Not far from downtown Austin and was exactly what we were looking for. The apartment parking garage was kind of a struggle. It was almost always full and we had to park at the roof everyday. The apartment is nice and clean. Complex also has luxurious courtyard, pool, community center, and business center."
7207050,51590402,2015-10-21,461940,Matt,"Gayle provides a convenient, warm, and functional place to stay. The immediately-accessible courtyard is open, inviting, and private, as no one else in the building appears to use it. Further, the business-center and pool facilities are also fantastic. But what's best is Gayle's welcoming and abundant energy. She's truly wonderful to be around.

I read about parking complaints in previous reviews. Unless I parked very late at night, parking is completely a non-issue. And even after late-night parking, all I had to do was drive up a few floors in the parking garage to find an open spot. This should not be a problem for anyone remotely used to parking garages."
7207050,52239761,2015-10-27,3023505,Larry,Very nice apartment with a very comfy bed. Gayle was very welcoming.
304866,883396,2012-01-25,1588629,John,"I dread most hotels. They're noisy, they are in lousy neighborhoods surrounded by strip malls and fast food, and they always over priced. I prefer the tranquility of camping over the amenities of room service, trees over chlorinated pools, and authenticity over styrofoam chain brands.

I was real lucky and happy to find Jim's listing as it sounded like my kind of place. Jim's RV is set up nice for a visitor like me. It's in a quiet part of the city on a couple acres and off the main roads. It's quite an oasis in a bustling city! It's a comfortable RV, large enough to be comfortable. And Jim is a gracious and kind host who made me feel right at home from the start.

This will be the first place I check for my next visit to Austin."
304866,994587,2012-03-13,1499484,Tom,"Jim O's place is fantastic, and he is wonderful.  He brought me home-brewed chai in the morning, along with a breakfast burrito.   The trailer was an oasis with it's mini bamboo forrest and private patio.    I plan to return.   "
304866,1012937,2012-03-18,36843,Courtney,This is a special spot and Jim is the perfect host. The RV has everything one would want. I'll be back for another visit!
304866,1094944,2012-04-07,2010311,Anne-Marie,"Folks who want an easy, laid back stay in Austin with a real sweet host in a real sweet spot should stay here!  The RV was pleasant, comfortable and accommodating for two of us and Jim kept enticing us to explore and enjoy his property and the green belt next door.  I look forward to my next trip, hopefully for a Wednesday potluck! "
304866,1102191,2012-04-09,1748378,Carissa,"The place was more than I could have hoped for - it reminded me of the home I hope to create myself one day. I wished I could stay for the evening parties, for the conversations to be had, for the beautiful property. Jim O' was a great host, someone I hope to meet again soon. I am overwhelmingly glad to have supported him over a corporate hotel. Just wonderful. "
304866,1212176,2012-05-01,401993,Spencer And Julia,"Sweet as! Clean, comfortable, unique - everything that makes AirBnB great to use. Jim was great at communicating and getting us directions to his place. Jim even left us some treats in the fridge to eat and drink. Hot water, outdoor shower, AC was nice and cold, kitchen was very usable. It was perfect for two people. Very close to everything. Definitely would stay here again!"
304866,1285161,2012-05-15,2132162,Jan,Jim was a great host. Great place to stay-in a nice greenbelt area with trails and a river and close to downtown Austin too. He has animals which is an added extra so if you like goats and cats.
304866,1415139,2012-06-04,1777599,Blanca,"Jim was actually not there when we stayed and we were sad to not meet him! He called 2 days before our arrival and made sure we knew how to get there and let us know that if there was anything we needed we could keep in contact with him. His place was GREAT for the two of us! quite, peaceful, awesome outside private shower! close to downtown and everything just a great location. Place was clean and comfy! also left some great treats for us in the fridge! We ran into a small problem but Jim made sure we were taken care of! Great Host, Cute place! "
304866,1552420,2012-06-24,2665233,Christal,Jim's place was a perfect getaway.  It's close enough to the attractions of the city to be convenient but quiet.  At night I heard no traffic and only cicadas--ideal.  The bed was *very* comfortable and it was a great place to relax and take a deep breath. 
304866,1624327,2012-07-03,2665662,Liz,"My husband and I were looking for a quiet and unconventional place to stay for our weekend getaway and this was perfect!  We loved how this place was very secluded yet close in vacinity to Austin's urban eclectic areas.  My husband and I thought Jim was a very cool and laid back host.  He stocked our fridge with awesome little snacks that we were delightfully thankful for after our hikes and tours through SoCo.  There is an outdoor shower for the venturesome type.  Yes we were venturesome, and it was too neat to bathe outdoors.  Haha, obviously we live the city.  :D  One of the coolest parts was that Jim has the cutest little goats!  Yes, I said goats.  They are adorable.  Unfortunately my husband and I had to leave a day early in a bit of a hurry because our pet sitter was not able to look after our pet, but we would have loved to stay longer if we could have.  I would definitely recommend Jim to anyone looking to try something outside of the box and not wanting to break the bank for it.  Fantastic!"
304866,1757644,2012-07-20,2934009,K.C.,"We had a great time in Jim's RV! It is an amazing location, really close to all the action on South Congress and downtown. The kids loved all the animals and ""Cowboy"" who gave them a pony ride.
Would have loved to stay longer at the potluck campfire, next time we'll bring a sitter for the kids.
Thanks to Jim for the treats in the fridge. The RV was clean and the AC was powerful. Great place to stay!"
304866,1952321,2012-08-11,3086669,Andrew,"My girlfriend and I, between leases, needed a place to stay for 10 days. When we found Jim, we didn’t know what to expect--neither of us had ever spent the night in an RV.

Jim “The Foodslinger” O’Brian was more than accommodating. He made us feel right at home: stocked the refrigerator with food, the medicine cabinet with toiletries, and the drawers with fresh linens. That Memory Foam was the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. My girlfriend said she couldn’t remember the last time she woke up with no back pain. The outdoor shower made me never want to bathe indoors again. Every time we opened a cabinet, there was more evidence of Jim’s thoughtfulness.

Truly a luxurious stay. We couldn’t be more satisfied."
304866,2049884,2012-08-20,1794623,Sharra,"Everything was great! Jim is a really nice guy, the place was perfect for what I was looking for. Would go back in a heartbeat. The snacks were a very nice surprise, thanks for that.
Thanks Jim hope to see you again."
304866,2269073,2012-09-11,407361,Mike,My stay at Jim's RV was awesome! Very secluded and comfortable. The bed is really comfy too. Jim had the RV stocked with food and supplies for everything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying there to anyone :-)
304866,2433561,2012-09-27,3496790,Aleksi,"I stayed two nights at Jim's RV. It was a very comfy stay, Jim seems to have thought of every last detail that would make it a great stay for people. Also the surroundings are quite fascinating. I hadn't been on a green belt so I went for a little walk along it, which was a good experience even though the mosquito season made it a slightly harsh trek!"
304866,2693222,2012-10-22,3780345,Kim,"-very very close to the city, but far enough away to get away from all the noise 
-place was cute and quaint, very private
-a little dusty
-the sauna was nice and it came with eucalyptus oil, you get to start your own fire in an old fashioned stove 
-loved feeding the horses, they like apples 
-Jim was very nice and answered all of our questions over the phone since he wasn't there for most of the weekend 
"
304866,2756470,2012-10-29,3966399,Erin,"This was my first airbnb experience, and I can't say enough good things! The RV was extremely cozy and warm. Friday night I ended up just hanging out there and reading because it was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. Jim is a gracious host, and fills the fridge up with everything you could need. The property is also lovely; I enjoyed walking the trails (plus, there are goats). You'd never know you are right off of South Congress just a few minutes from 71. Highly recommended and affordable!"
304866,2816605,2012-11-05,2671455,Nina,"We had a wonderful stay at Jim O's RV.  We loved being outside of the city, but also SO close.  Jim really did think of everything to ensure we were provided for, from shampoo to coffee, to extra towels and even old VHS movies.  We watched ""My Cousin Vinny"" and it was a nostalgic blast to the past.  The outdoor shower was my favorite part, nothing like bathing in the sun surrounded by bamboo.  We even  extended our stay an extra night because we were so comfortable and enjoying our time in Austin so much. Great and colorful Austin characters on the property, and a lovely place to be.  Thanks Jim!  See you next time."
304866,3201488,2012-12-31,2083386,Krista,"We loved it! The RV is so cute and cozy... just delightful. The bed is super comfy. I can't say enough good things about this place. The kitchen is great, and there were treats waiting for us. The RV is stocked everything you need. The outdoor shower is incredible. We loved hiking the grounds, saying Hi to the mules and goats and I sketched them as well. Jim was a wonderful host and we felt so welcome. Can't wait till next time - thanks for everything Jim!"
304866,3257292,2013-01-03,4504657,Roze,"Just stayed at Jim O's in SoCo last week with my daughter. We had a BLAST!!! It was really cold and wet (usual for Austin lately) but still thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim and the menagerie of folks coming / going through made it extra special. Samuel the ""6th St. Cowboy"" was fun :-) Jim has 2 white mules and a brown one on site. Super cool goats and a rockin' fire ring down by the creek. Magical place he is making even better. 

It's ""high funky Austin cool"" at it's best! Great, healthy munchies in the fridge, SUPER nice guy, lots of groovin' low key activity going on right there and really close to everything 'cool' about Austin. LOVED IT! We'll be back. Try to make the PotLuck on site if you can. THANKS JIM! & SAMUEL! Really rockin' fun :-)  Hugs to all! ""R&D"""
304866,3398810,2013-01-22,4414104,Randall,"This is my second time to stay at Jim's place. He sees to your every need with a low key, easy going touch. His RV is super comfy, w/a cozy, intimate bed, fully functioning kitchen that I cooked meals in each day, and the best part of the trip, an outdoor hot shower on the private patio. Heavenly! The large farm property is fun to walk, with goats to visit, and a nature walk along the creek and through the woods. I'll be back next time I'm in Austin!"
304866,3506132,2013-02-09,962515,Sarah,cozy trailer love. yes please! sweetest stay ever. thank you jim:) 
304866,3583726,2013-02-19,4758068,Lila,"We had a great time staying at the RV.  It was perfectly sized for two, the location was close to everything, the outdoor shower was great!  I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone heading to Austin."
304866,3779879,2013-03-14,4658472,Victor,Great little place on an absolutely crazy plot of land. Jim O is a really nice guy too. I enjoyed my time in Austin and loved the quiet that I was able to have during SXSW when returning to the RV.
304866,3838927,2013-03-19,69208,Laura,"Jim was great and the RV was so comfortable. I slept very soundly in the nice bed, the outdoor shower was amazing because it was so warm out. The eggs from his chickens were delicious and he had the kitchen stocked with all the right stuff. Just far enough from downtown where it's nice and quiet, but we had no trouble at all hopping on the bus to get anywhere. Would definitely stay here again, even over a hotel. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Hope to see you next time I'm in Austin."
304866,3896513,2013-03-25,3786811,Tola,"We loved Jim O's RV.  It was very clean and comfortable.  The frige ws stocked with snacks and drinks, even eggs from his own chickens.  The property was lovely, everything from pygmi goats, to gardens, to nature trails.  Staying there you would never believe you were in the middle of a city.  It was secluded, yet only minutes to the hussle of South Congress shops and downtown Austin.  I loved it and I can't wait for my next trip and stay at Jim O's RV."
304866,4097445,2013-04-09,605852,Michelle,Jim was a great host! There were snacks waiting for us in the fridge and he took time to show us around the grounds. Everything was just as described. The trailer was plenty roomy and it was fun to see the animals and walk on the trails. I'd definitely recommend staying  here!
304866,4713104,2013-05-21,1373084,Barry,"My daughter and I had a great weekend stay at Jim's. Super location, close to everything in town --- but feels like you are miles outside of the city. We walked through the wildflowers along the nature trails, took photos of the creek, and enjoyed visiting with the cats and goats each day.

The stocked fridge was a nice touch, and the outdoor shower was great for washing off during a hot Texas day. It was also nice to have fresh eggs for breakfast, and access to Fran's vegetable garden. Looking forward to using the campfire area and spending more time lounging next visit. We were on the go a lot this time."
304866,5819638,2013-07-17,1550762,Tyler,"Great spot! I'd love to stay again some time. I guess this might be what some people call ""glamping"". The RV is clean and comfortable, in a cool tucked away spot in South Austin. It's only a 10 minute drive to the heart of town but it's quiet and rustic like you're staying out in the sticks. Outdoor shower in the bamboo, nature trail, goats, chickens, snacks, friendly people! Jim is a genuinely cool guy, and a great host. "
304866,5956118,2013-07-23,7476041,SarahJean,"As far as I'm concerned, there's nowhere else to stay in Austin. 

Jim O' has set this RV up with its own private patio area that includes a beautiful outdoor shower, and he keeps the kitchen stocked with all kinds of unexpected extras, from his own chickens' eggs to sugar cane Coca-Colas. (Make sure you check the cabinets and shelves as well for movies and board games.)

The interior of the RV is surprisingly roomy, and everything is clean and comfortable and well-kept. 

My only regret from my stay is not having the time to explore the creek and wilderness, feed the goats, and visit more with Jim O'. I'll just have to come back."
304866,8391257,2013-10-28,5405941,Rachael,"My stay at Jim O's place count haven't been better.   My boyfriend and I  stayed in austin over the weekend and my only regret is that I couldn't spend more time at the rv, exploring the lands and visiting with JIm O. Can't wait to be back."
304866,8659691,2013-11-11,277479,Scott And Kristen,We had a great time in the trailer and we could not of asked for more. It's a really neat spot and I do believe we'll be back. Cheers y'all!
304866,9436323,2013-12-28,2946176,Lauren,"Jim accommodated us when we made a reservation on Christmas Eve for Christmas Day, which was awesome!  We also had a great time rambling through the woods on the property.  Would definitely recommend."
304866,9980969,2014-01-22,5049197,Charley,"Our stay with Jim O' was top on our U.S experiences. He was a thoughtful and interesting host who respected our privacy at the same time as welcoming us into his community with beers round an open fire. We felt right at home and could have stayed much longer-meeting the different characters who visited and helping rebuild from the flood damage.  

- The RV was a private, cosy, sunny little home with all you needed for a happy stay
- The linen, towels and RV were clean and simple
- Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and basic cooking ingredients plus Jim O's kind extras (eggs, homemade Chai, grapes, juices, coffee, yogurt, milk, cereal) 
- TV  and selection of DVDs 
- Outdoor shower (far superior to the indoor one) 
- Town was just a 10min drive away or a bus stop was right by the site
"
304866,10074535,2014-01-28,11542875,Nancy,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jim O' s playground, only in Austin would you be able to be in ""the city"" and have chickens, cats and goats in the yard!
We loved the outdoor shower, although it was too cold the first two mornings, even for us Minnesotans.
Jim was an excellent host, available if we had questions, and gave music and food rec. if asked.
Highly recommend this for a truly "" Austin"" experience!"
304866,11010123,2014-03-17,12027130,Brian,"What an amazing place to stay! Jim was a great host, the RV was fantastic and cozy, and the land it was on was just great! I wish the weather had been a little better to try out the outdoor shower, but we'll just make sure to try it next time we stay here. We'd definitely recommend the RV - it's a perfect expression of the independent and quirky spirit spirit of Austin. Loved it, and can't wait to come back.  Thanks for everything, Jim!"

304866,22019807,2014-10-28,13344980,Jamie,Jim-O was a fantastic host! It was obvious he cared about our comfort and respected our privacy. This was SUCH a comfortable bed.  Everything was super clean. The air conditioning worked well and we were comfortable every night. Jim left some groceries for us in the fridge and made us feel at home. This location is a brief drive into downtown. The location was great. We used Uber a few nights for rides but also had our own car. Outdoor shower was very enjoyable! I would definitely visit here again. 
304866,22625459,2014-11-10,19333772,Buddy,"This was our 1st airbnb experience.  It wasn't exactly what we expected, but that's OK. Jim O' and others were very friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed seeing the goats, bees, chickens & garden. There were plenty of amenities in the camper and the bed was comfortable. The location was convenient for us. We had so much planned for the weekend that we really didn't spend much time there. It was a funky cool Austin experience - definitely keeping Austin weird."
304866,27081651,2015-02-24,1455742,Annette,"Jim's rv and property was more than we expected. It Was so cute, clean and cozy. Perfect spot for my boyfriend and I.extremely comfortable bed and living space.Jim was a great host. We enjoyed the property and helpful tips he had to offer. Would recommend this space to all. Just be sure to rent a car to enjoy the city easier. Easy commuting  to and from the property. "
304866,28899109,2015-03-31,5192007,Kelly,"Wow, the place had a really comfortable bed, and extra foam so we could use that on the fold out bed in the living room.  The fridge had all sorts of goodies in there….yogurt, bananas, fresh eggs from their chickens and coffee and creamer.  I loved my stay.  The hostess answered my calls and was available when I needed anything.  A really cool pad."
304866,30000620,2015-04-15,2722355,Sara & JD,"We had a great time staying in the RV. Jim was friendly and welcoming. He left us snacks in the fridge which was nice after a long flight. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and taking walks on the property.  The RV was private, comfortable, and spacious. We would recommend staying with Jim! "
304866,31970773,2015-05-12,14736323,Chris,"This is in a very good location and is what you might call a rustic setting. It's a very comfortable place just off S Congress. The A/C is cold, the RV is pretty roomy and the bed is very comfortable. "
304866,33315554,2015-05-26,25417724,Elaine,"We enjoyed our stay. We didn't realize that there were other people who lived on the property so close to the RV. That was unexpected. We still felt like we had our privacy, which we appreciated. The bed was amazing! We liked the outdoor shower too. "
304866,35844837,2015-06-22,34961024,Sonny,"Wonderful stay, exactly as described. Fantastic environment. We were romanced by the setting and the laid backness of it all. We enjoyed staying in a community that was able to give us more freedom then a regular hotel and yet be eco conscience. Conveniently located minutes from all Austin has to offer, we found everything was close by and easy to get around seeming to be centrally located. Cant thank Jim enough! We definitely found ourselves a bit more connected thanks to this stay."
304866,36640144,2015-06-29,33837505,Brittany,"We loved Jim O's place! Quirky and charming lot, great neighbors, quiet, close to South Congress restaurants and shops. Jim O was very hospitable and gave us a tour of his awesome property. Will be back!"
304866,37414698,2015-07-06,6323271,Alisson,"You're looking for an original place to stay in Austin ? Dont look for it anymore, you found it !
Jim's RV is the perfect place for you.
You're near South congress (Soco), bustling city but in a quiet and wild area with creek, forest, animals.
The RV is nice and big, and the shower outside is perfect for hot summer ! 
Jim provided us some food and beverages too.
We definitely reccomand this place."
304866,39966885,2015-07-27,2200264,Yvette,"Jim's RV was perfect for the three of us. Two on the bed and one on the futon. Jim is very friendly and as soon as we checked in, he showed us around his land and we got to meet his goats and chickens. The outdoor shower was our favorite! This location is close to the bustling parts of the city. If you need to contact him, calling is the best option. Thank you Jim for your hospitality!"
304866,41022811,2015-08-03,12849887,Connie,"Jim O' was a great host. We showed up late at night, but he still met us in order to let us in and show us everything. The RV was clean and air-conditioned, and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom inside was a bit small, but that's to be expected in an RV, and the outdoor shower was wonderful. Jim stocked the fridge with lots of delicious treats, which we really appreciated. We didn't get to spend much time  on the property but it seemed to be a nice, rural space within the city. If you're open to staying in an RV, I recommend this place.   "
304866,46101153,2015-09-07,18568122,Felipe,"Our stay at Jim O's was great! Jim was a perfect host with a true hidden gem of a property. The small farm, organic vibe was exactly what we needed while on our local getaway vacation. My two sons loved feeding the goats and playing with the chickens! ...I loved the fresh eggs and all the wonderful delights tucked away in the kitchen! Made a perfect breakfast for the fam before heading out on our daily adventures. The RV was huge, spacious, and very accommodating to the four of us. Jim has definitely thought of everything and it was much appreciated during our stay. 

We'll be back Jim O'!"
304866,47788365,2015-09-21,42930560,Laura,What a great place to stay in Austin! Close to everything but not in the middle of it. Jim was a great host and even had fresh eggs for us in the fridge! Wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely stay there again!
304866,48844852,2015-09-28,44845275,Roni,"The place and the area just like the pictures, quiet, green, relaxing. Jim was an amazing host, who helped me to find recommended routes in the area
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to escape a little bit from the city to the forest"
304866,52863015,2015-11-02,29166594,Mike,"I lived in Austin in the 80s & 90s (before it turned into L.A. & the trust fund hipsters invaded) & Jim O's place made me feel like I had stepped into a time machine...Such a great old Austin vibe about the entire community JIm O' is putting together there on Wasson...He's a laid-back, friendly dude & everyone else who lives or was staying there were great, too...The Prowler was comfortable & clean...I highly recommend it to anyone & everyone...Williamson Creek, which runs along the property, sure is purty & peaceful...Fresh eggs!"
320161,984388,2012-03-09,846121,Alex,"Andrea is a a very warm, welcoming person and is there to help you with whatever you may need. The house was wonderfull and indeed Zen. I really enjoyed the morning song of the birds outside the window.
Perfect for a calm and relaxing stay outside of the city stress."
320161,1027583,2012-03-21,1305108,Promise,"I've been full-time musician for 10+ yrs now and this has by far been my BEST stay. Andrea (landlord) was SO friendly and accommodated to our every need. If you are lucky enough to stay here say Hi to her from Promise. I am now a 'regular' there and I will even pay ahead of time to make sure I reserve my room. Done deal. Hats off to you for creating such a wonderful halfway home :) 

PS - Thats actually my room in the picture :) if you stay there PLEASE take care of it like your own because i WILL be back!"
320161,22574438,2014-11-09,23488230,Max,"She was really really nice, she showed us the house around, offered us water cereal, the room was very clean and everything was perfect, i would totally stay again here. Everything was perfect!!! Really really recomend this place!!"
320161,28095956,2015-03-17,5001419,Jimmy,"The room was in a home in a nice suburban neighborhood of Austin. The room I stayed in wasn't the one pictured in the AirBNB listing. The owner said this was because they are in the process of remodeling. The room was nice and clean. The bathroom was generally clean too, though there were some cleanliness issues due to the other roommates in the house. I never saw or met Andrea personally, she lives at a different home, but she stayed in close contact via text message. Her instructions on getting to the home and getting situated were pretty clear, though when I first got to the home it was a little awkward. It appeared at first that no one was home, and I didn't know which room was for me. Soon I realized that one of the roommates was in his room on the phone, but I didn't want to disturb him so I called Andrea and she directed me to the right place. The place was not fancy but it met my needs and you can't argue with the price. "
320161,36694203,2015-06-30,33992155,Greg,Enjoyed everything about the stay! It feels like a home away from home and Andrea goes beyond what is expected to make sure her guests are satisfied! 10/10 would stay again
8796455,50415839,2015-10-11,10932168,Stefhani,"First and foremost, I stayed at Ricky's place for ACL Weekend 2. 

THE PLACE: I admit, I booked this place very hastily (the night before) with very little research,  but I swear I will try stay here every visit. This is definitely an AIRBNB find you can and want to brag about to your friends. I even snuck a non-invasive photo of the place to my instagram. My description could never do this place any justice,  but just know that you will find yourself walking around the house aimlessly at times. It took me about an hour to look at ALL the art on the walls and furnishings. 

THE HOST: Ricky was at work when I arrived,  but was very communicative. He answered all my touristy questions and recommended some bars around the area.  As opposed to 6th St., these are truly badass places with locals. He had an extensive vinyl collection with an almost humerus range in genres. I was embarrassingly giddy when I found Kanye's Yeezus and feel asleep before I could truly rummage through his whole selection. 

THE ROOM: I loved that the room had sunlight flooding in at all times. Before I ever felt it got too warm, the AC would kick in and send a cool breeze through the door way. There's a dresser that holds all your things,  very convinient, and a plug right next to the bed for overnight cell phone charging. My favorite thing about it was that it had full view of the wrap around porch and trees.

LOCATION: It's great! I paid $10 for an Uber to 6th St at 2.5x surge.  Normally,  it's $5. Like I mentioned before though, he recommends really good places like 3 blocks down. It's about 3-4mi to the ACL festival grounds, I think. You can rent a bike and do the ride easily. 

I highly recommend this listing for the artsyer folk looking to soak all those ""Keep Austin Weird"" vibes. My only regret is that I didn't book an extra day to explore the neighborhood bars."
8796455,51838037,2015-10-24,20728618,Jennifer,"Ricky's place was amazing! We spent so much time just admiring all the artwork, he also had an extensive record collection. The room was nice and very accommodating for two people. He also informed us of great places to eat and drink!"
2530993,33467897,2015-05-28,15088949,Terry,"Great location in Austin! Easy to get anywhere in Austin in short order (except for the flooded streets from all the thunderstorms while we were there). Hosts were very accommodating and their apartment was extremely comfortable and inviting. Although we had full rein in the kitchen, we mostly ended up using the refrigerator for leftovers from all the great meals we had around Austin. There are many Mexican restaurants in near proximity (we ate at El Taquito). Quick drive across river to Rainey St (appropriately named) area. Daughters jogged along river walk on storm-free days. We didn't indulge in pool as we were out and about but looked very clean and appealing and it was jammed on the nice day over the weekend. Very quiet apartment complex (no loud parties, etc.). We would definitely stay there again when in Austin."
2530993,48849814,2015-09-28,28430029,Zoila,"Kelly and Dave were great! They were flexible with me in my check in and check out time, which I greatly appreciated. Very personable and friendly. Their apartment was cozy, clean, and really had a home feel! I would absolutely recommend them. "
2530993,49772363,2015-10-06,38195006,Andrew,"I stayed at Kelly and David's place for weekend one of ACL.  Right off the bat, David and Kelly made us feel welcome in their home.  My flight got in a little earlier than expected and David was very flexible in letting me into the apartment early.  They even bought us beer, juice and milk so we'd have something to drink at the apartment before we got a chance to go to the store.  David went out of his way to offer to drive me downtown after checking in so I could meet my former work colleagues (I used to live in Austin) for lunch.  The apartment was very clean and spacious.  We fit five people in the rental very comfortably, with two in each of the bedrooms and one on the large couch.  Two bathrooms ensured that getting ready in the morning wasn't a problem.  The location is also great.  The pool is a few steps from the lake and there is a kayak/paddle board rental place next door.  It's also just a short walk from Rainey Street and South Congress.  I would definitely stay here again."
2530993,50625224,2015-10-13,39533633,Neal,"Great area for ACL festival. Easy to get around town without being in too busy an area.  Close to riverside boardwalk which was very convenient. Accommodations were exactly as advertised.

Hosts were great with communication and very welcoming. 
The hosts also honored their price during ACL festival unlike several other AirBNB owners who jacked up their prices during that time. 

Would definitely stay here again!
"
592924,2802708,2012-11-04,3957631,Zahra,The host was fantastic with a lovely little country home.  Felt very peaceful and I was able to rest and refresh.  I opted for an additional breakfast item and it too was wonderful and healthy.  I will stay here again when I'm in the area.  Thanks!
592924,4242141,2013-04-22,1438113,Jeff,"Beth's place was fantastic. It's in a beautiful neighborhood with great access to walks to in the nearby woods. The room was clean, comfortable and adorable. I also had access to much of the rest of the house including the wonderful kitchen and the spacious back yard and vegetable garden. Beth was the consummate host and gave me great advice about the area. I will, without doubt, stay there again and probably many times. Thanks, Beth!"
592924,5302696,2013-06-23,6913206,Cheryl,"It was a pleasure to stay at Beth's lovely home, in a tranquil neighberhood.  I was comfortable, felt welcome and at the same time had my privacy.  Infinitely more pleasant than my usual place to stay - a hotel off the highway!  I had not thought to ask ahead for breakfast.  Beth offered anyway, and on the spot made me coffee and a yummy yegan smoothy (my request).  Much appreciated as I had to get to a meeting early.  I hope to stay there again if I am in the area.

592924,10907314,2014-03-12,12021157,Todd,"Had a great time staying at Beth's, just a short 25 minute drive to downtown Austin.  The space is private, comfortable, and nicely kept.  Beth was great host, from sharing recommendations for local activities, to engaging conversations about life, she always made me feel at home in her home.  Would highly recommend staying here!"
592924,12358538,2014-04-29,14611904,Katie,"Beth is an amazing host! We had a wonderful stay at her beautiful house. Beth is warm, welcoming, and so caring. From setting out locally-produced iced teas and organic granola bars on the dresser when we arrived to making us morning coffee to providing extremely helpful information about getting around Austin, Beth really went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and at home. She is extraordinarily kind. The guest room is adorable, comfortable, and immaculately clean. She had fluffy towels for us and even a hairdryer in the half bath connected to the guest room. My boyfriend and I cannot recommend highly enough a stay with Beth if you're in the Austin area! :)"
592924,28761699,2015-03-29,29928234,Sean,"Beth was very welcoming and inviting to her home, the room was very clean and just as advertised. Although we didn't have time to utilize it, the backyard and surrounding area was beautiful. The room was private with a half bath and an additional half bath with shower was just down the hall. This was our first experience using Airbnb, to which Beth was very understanding and helpful during the booking process. She is a very kind and genuine host, easy to communicate with, as well as very understanding of guests schedules. Overall a very enjoyable experience, and one we would definitely choose again. "
592924,31863916,2015-05-10,18930467,Doug,"Beth was very sweet.  The room was quiet, clean & perfect for a hill country hideaway."

She was very helpful in giving us directions and understanding that we would be coming in late, albeit quietly! The room was just as described, everything was clean and the bed very comfortable for my quirky back. "
592924,38806729,2015-07-18,27335455,Daniel,Beth and her partner Bob were awesome! Beth responded to our last minute request so quickly and and was so hospitable. They were great with suggestions for restaurants and bars and the room and bed were very comfortable. Highly recommended!
592924,40876283,2015-08-02,40073247,Tessa,"Beth was an amazing and gracious host! She was very accommodating as we booked last minute and warmly welcomed us even though we arrived later than we originally planned. The place was very clean, spacious and was exactly as pictured on the website. The patio area is quite scenic and we spent both mornings sitting outside drinking coffee and tea that she so kindly left for us. She was very knowledgeable about a lot of things and especially gave us great suggestions for things to do, see and eat in the area, all of which we did and was very pleased. We would happily recommend Beth to everyone who visits the area and would stay with her again if we are back in Hill Country."
592924,43567547,2015-08-20,715847,Sharon,"Wonderful accommodations!  Beth was so nice and we felt totally comfortable.  The bed was great, and we had our own bathroom.  The neighborhood is very quiet and beautiful."
592924,50385967,2015-10-11,21205807,Emily,"We had a wonderful stay at Beth's home. We were warmly greeted with nice accommodations, a private entrance to our room which was complete with sparkling water and snack bars. She made us very comfortable and was very knowledgeable about the area. 
The house is located very near several of the local wineries, and we had a great dinner at Salt Lick BBQ. Beth and her husband were so friendly and gave us lots of information about the area and were so gracious to spend time talking with us the next day. It made for the perfect getaway weekend in nature!"

Location was excellent--very close to Zilker Park/Barton Springs and downtown Austin.  Another bonus is that the condo is in the Austin Car2Go zone!

271052,28119257,2015-03-18,25105270,Allan,"We stayed for SXSW '15. The condo was very nice and clean, exactly like the photos. The hosts were very accommodating, they left restaurant suggestions and maps, and even dropped off an extra key for us. The neighborhood is beautiful, but not super walkable. We just took Lyft/ Uber everywhere -- 10min from downtown. "
271052,28377210,2015-03-23,14052002,Anindita,"Lovely apartment in Zilker, really well laid out, nice and tidy. Trent and Kelsey left great recommendations to have a fantastic time in Austin, great bars and taco van within walking distance. "
271052,49761023,2015-10-06,32771110,Chelsea,"The apartment was very cozy and felt like staying at home, just in a different city. It was even better than expected and the location was perfect for walking to the festival. Nice neighborhood right across from an elementary school. Trent was very helpful, responsive, and accommodating whenever we had questions throughout the weekend. They also left us a helpful packet of best bars/restaurants/attractions in the area. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin! It was our first time visiting the city and we had a very pleasant stay!"
271052,50615672,2015-10-13,14865610,Taryn,"Trent and Kelsey's location was great!  It was in walking distance to Zilker Park, which was fantastic for Austin City Limits (as well as Barton Springs), and anything else was a $5-10 Uber ride away.  There are a number of restaurants in walking distance, and Trent and Kelsey left a printout of suggestions, which we tried many of!  

The only challenge we had with the space is that the spare bedroom did not have working cold water in the faucet.  

Otherwise, we had a fantastic experience! "
431878,2927322,2012-11-20,3729065,Peter,"Very good place. Master Bedroom suite was large with own bath. Very good bed. Everything working well.   Typical american bungalow, quite solid, with great living-kitchen-area and very nice terrace and garden-aera. House-runner Tammy is absolutely great to be and definetly a serious person. all in all very easy in handling. in the night it’s quiet. Typical US village cluster with all you need 2 miles away, so all in all nothing to compain."
431878,20881283,2014-10-06,16040615,Nicole,"Unfortunately I was unable to stay at Tammy's due to my endurance event lasting much longer than expected. However, she was an excellent host, regardless. Great and consistent communication, concerned that I had a good stay in Austin, and kind. I will definitely contact her for future trips to Austin. "
431878,22700818,2014-11-12,22130561,Rich,"Great space and excellent host.  Even had coffee in the mornings.   Had recommendations for out of towners and everything was handled very well.

Would stay again.  Thank you for everything."
431878,27910191,2015-03-14,16487747,Christian,Tammy und ihre Mutter sind sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Sie gaben uns das Gefühl sehr willkommen zu sein. Die beiden sind sehr führsorglich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben uns sehr bei unserer weiteren Reiseplanung geholfen. Die Unterkunft liegt günstig. Es ist Nachts sehr ruhig. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt.
431878,28099621,2015-03-17,28752602,Lorena,Tammy and her mother were just the sweetest most helpful ladies ever. They made my sister and I feel at home and very welcome. Oh and they offered us coffee and muffins for breakfast! Lol
431878,28365365,2015-03-22,29535180,Kristen,When we arrived our host greeted us and was extremely friendly; she showed us around the house and gave us the information/keys we needed in order to come and go as we pleased. She also had coffee/tea and fruit available whenever we wanted. About a 15 minute drive from downtown Austin. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this airbnb host to others! 
431878,28458061,2015-03-23,29693659,Yogendra,"Good place and excellent host. specially her mother , she makes you very comfortable and you feel like its your own home. very clean and neat house."
431878,34493437,2015-06-08,5257985,Diana,"Tammy met me at the house exactly when she said she would and was very personable.  The house was super comfy, clean, quiet, great back yard for my dog and just what I needed.  Tammy typed out a list for me so that everything was clear and easily understood.  The bed was very comfortable and use of the kitchen was super convenient.  I wish I could have stayed longer!"
431878,45265268,2015-09-01,16155775,Chelcie,"Tammy was a great host.  We stayed for 1 month, and while we were there, she was extremely accommodating, and the house was always well stocked with supplies.  On the final day, she let us hang out for a few extra hours while we waited for our next airbnb to be ready for us. Her mom arrived later in the month, and she was great as well.  

The neighborhood was a little noisy, with people playing loud base and cars making noise sometimes around the midnight hour, but it was not unreasonable.  "
431878,50569564,2015-10-12,23914325,Judyth,Tammy was a very gracious host and the house was very clean! She was always available by text/phone for any questions since she does not stay at this Airbnb location. 
431878,51343543,2015-10-19,24591367,Mary MacKenzie,Tammy was a great host. House was clean and comfortable. The backyard was small bit perfect for our dogs. She was very accommodating with arrival and departure times. Would definitely stay here again. 
431878,52259564,2015-10-27,40132317,Xin,Tammy is the perfect host. She is very friendly and responses quickly to any request or question. The room is very clean and tidy. The neighborhood is nice and quiet.
3271938,15350092,2014-07-07,4112360,Tracy,"Jessica was the best host!  From the cookies that she made that were ready for us on our late arrival, to the snacks and use of everything that her very comfortable house had to offer.  She got us very excited to see what Austin had to offer, so much so we ditched our plans to visit San Antonio!  There were so many things to see that we would not have thought of, had Jessica not told us about them!  Her house is in a great location - close to the airport and downtown Austin.  Everything was very easy to find and close by.  And her dog Bowie - so cute!  We had a wonderful time and are looking forward to another trip!"
3271938,16189256,2014-07-22,5049132,Jennifer,"Jessica's place is beautiful and extremely clean. Towels, beds, decor, everything was pretty much perfect. Location is great too and in a friendly neighborhood. I went jogging and everyone was so nice! 

Jessica herself was a great hostess. She was very accommodating with our group and two year old. 

Cannot think of anything bad here, we appreciate everything. Thanks again Jessica! 

Her cookie recipe is delicious too :)  "
3271938,16950284,2014-08-04,14154800,Skip,"Jessica has a lovely home and was a wonderful host!  This was my first booking with Air B&B and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.  There were homemade cookies and UT tumblers waiting for us when we arrived.  She responded promptly to my initial request and ask us what types of things we were interested in doing in Austin.  She replied with a long list of places we might be interested in.  Her dog Bowie is a very laid back little guy, perfect for folks who may not be dog people.  Her home is very comfortable and well-stocked with anything you might need.  The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, mostly young professionals from what I could see.  It's an easy 10 minutes drive from downtown.  Jessica wanted to make sure that we had everything we needed and was happy to socialize, but gave us our own space as well.  Amazing Internet connection, SpeedTest reported 45Mbps download speed!  I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone wanting to spend a few days in Austin."
3271938,18767024,2014-08-31,12025810,Tony,"Beautiful house in a new neighborhood. Very clean, very welcoming and comfortable. If this is your first airbnb experience, prepare to be spoiled. Jessica went out of her way to make us feel taken care of and we hope to stay again soon!"
3271938,20512514,2014-09-30,3383459,Mike,Had such a great time staying at Jessica's place. I was welcomed with a plate of cookies and my favorite cereal. Bowie was a great companion when hanging out on the couch. Such a clean and well decorated home. The bedding was divine - the most comfortable comforter I've cuddled up to! I'd certainly consider staying here again on a future trip to Austin.
3271938,20761109,2014-10-05,20940326,Deve,"We traveled to Austin in October to visit our daughter and attend our nephew’s football game at UT. This was our first experience using AirBNB and it was a wonderful! Within a short time of meeting Jessica it was as if we were visiting a treasured relative rather than a first time meeting. She made us very welcome greeting us with home baked cookies and a clean well cared for living space; she showed us through her home, anticipating questions, and checking on our schedule to ensure we had everything we needed. The home was well represented and in a great location. We will return.  "
3271938,21210583,2014-10-13,14554147,Dave,"Staying at Jessica's was awesome.  Communication with Jessica before, throughout, and after our stay has been a delight.  Although she was not there to great us in person because of work obligations she left us a note and some of the best Oatmeal cookies I've ever snacked on in my life. She also left cool plastic UT cup that came in very handy for everyone staying, and it enabled us to take home a bit of Austin.  The house was exactly as described and if anything the listing does not do it justice.  It turned out to be a beautiful warm home that we instantly felt comfortable in.  It felt like staying at my Aunt's house.  The beds were memory foamy gloriousness that did very well for our bodies after thrashing them at the music festival.     The bathroom was full of stuff that people forget, and being able to do laundry was amazing.  The neighborhood is super quiet, and we only saw the occasional dog walker, or jogger.  We stayed at Jessica's while attending ACL and were able to take the bus stop that's not even two blocks away from the house, all the way to Barton Springs for a dollar every morning.  I would totally recommend staying here to anyone and everyone, ACL or not.  The place is close enough to all the cool stuff that it's not hard to get to, yet just far enough to escape it for the night.  Thanks Jessica!"
3271938,27826080,2015-03-12,29135117,Joe,The reservation was canceled 7 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The house was amazing, everything was just as I saw it online, when we arrived she even made us cookies with Texas Longhorns cups already out for us.... I would recommend anyone to stay here, you will truly enjoy yourself "
3271938,29753295,2015-04-12,25304956,Leigh,"Jessica is a great host. She is friendly, easy to talk to, with a beautiful home. There was delicious pastries & UT cups for our use that came in very handy. The home is tucked away in a nice community directly off a centrally located street in Austin which made it a breeze to use Uber to and from Downtown Austin. ($15 each way) Check in & out was easy-peasy. We hope to see Jessica & Bowie (her sweet puppy-dog) in the near future! "
3271938,30214385,2015-04-19,29238618,Tara,First time using this site and it was a great one. The house was perfect. It was beautiful and in a great neighborhood. Jessica was super friendly and a great hostess. Very welcoming and helpful with anything we would or could need during our stay. I will highly recommend her to anyone I know planning on visiting Austin in the future. Thanks again Jessica for making our stay a great one!! :)
2514145,11031842,2014-03-17,3183687,Eric,We had a great stay at Paul's apartment!  The place was clean and perfect for what we needed. Just as he described. Very accommodating and if we needed anything he answered right away. If I'm in the area again I will definitely contact him. 
2514145,11809856,2014-04-15,11343929,John,"Great place for two. Basic and clean as described. The bed and sofa are comfortable. Bathroom and kitchen are in great working condition. The TV had great reception and the complex has a lot to offer. Really close to shopping, restaurants, and I-35. Will definitely stay there again when I am back. "
2514145,12099538,2014-04-22,12859555,Vicky,Paul's apartment was a very nice place to sit back and relax in. It felt like I was sitting in my own place. Paul was very friendly and was very flexible with check in/out. I would definitely recommend his place to anyone. 
2514145,13296544,2014-05-24,15565036,Sean,"My wife and I had a trip planned to Austin from Dallas for Memorial Day weekend to get away and celebrate our 5-year anniversary. We already had a villa rented out on Lake Travis for the weekend (Fri-Mon). However, our plan was to make the drive on Thursday evening to avoid the holiday rush traffic that would surely occur on a Friday drive. Given that, we wanted to find a place just north of the city of Austin that we could get to easily off I35. Paul's place was just that and a great find on Airbnb.

You get exactly what Paul outlines in his description of his place. If convenient to Austin, basic, clean, comfortable, simple and less expensive than a hotel is what you are seeking then you will want to stay at Paul's place. My wife and I were very comfortable at Paul's place and it was exactly what we were looking for. This was our first Airbnb experience and we were both very pleased at how easy the process was to work with Paul to rent his place. Paul is very responsive and attentive to your needs. You won't be disappointed. 

The location of Paul's apartment was excellent. It is conveniently located off I35 but not too close to the highway. It is just a couple stoplights off the highway. Even better yet is it takes about ten minutes to get downtown Austin from exit to exit off I35. So if you are looking for a location not in the mix and busyness of downtown but close enough to get there or anywhere around the Austin area then Paul's place is an excellent selection.

My wife and I would gladly stay at this apartment again. Thank you, Paul!"
2514145,13386363,2014-05-26,15675602,Chris,"The apartment was exactly as described. Right down the street from groceries, restaurants and a great park. South congress and 6th street were very easy to get to, just a short drive away. Definitely approve and would stay again. "
2514145,14352847,2014-06-17,15132972,David,"Paul was a great host, if we needed something he would help us out straight away. His apartment was neat, tidy and had everything we needed. Location was great, 20 mins from downtown and a really nice estate. Thanks for everything.
 
David "
2514145,15278904,2014-07-06,16069249,Jessica,"The apartment was exactly as listed and perfect for our 5 days in Austin. It is comfortable and clean, and the apartment complex is nice and very quiet. Paul was a great host and was always quick to answer any questions that we had during our stay. We plan on taking another trip to Austin in the future and this place will be first on our list if it is available!"
2514145,15726427,2014-07-14,17740897,Wade,"Great experience! It's a nice apt complex and the space was as described. If we go to Austin again, we'll stay here again if we can."
2514145,15941689,2014-07-18,1758204,Susan,"This place was just what we needed. As described, it was a simple space, but it met our needs. It was pretty clean and the location was convenient for us. Having access to the complex's gym equipment was a bonus for me, since I spent a lot of time eating the yummy food in Austin. Paul was readily available by text to provide info about the place and to make check-in/check-out arrangements."
2514145,16994377,2014-08-05,17453826,Erika,"I started off being a pain and needed to change my date of travel. The host was more than happy to switch dates for me at no additional charge. The place was clean, with easy access to I35. The apartments themselves were nice and in a safe neighborhood and gated. I would definately stay here again the next time I am in Austin, if available!!! "
2514145,17685142,2014-08-16,9646030,Linda,"My husband and I found Paul's apartment wonderful! His place is comfy and clean, just what we needed, perfect for 2. There were plenty of extra toiletries in case we forgot something and the kitchen was well-stocked with just about anything we needed. He was very accommodating and if we needed anything he was only an email or phone call away. Next time we're in Austin, we will definitely book with him again."
2514145,18252889,2014-08-24,6324274,Eloy,Listing was fantastic! Paul was a great host. The apartment was in a safe gated location. It was exactly what was needed. I definitely would recommend staying here.

His directions and communication were very clear and easy to follow. The location was very convenient and quiet (we even got to star gaze!). The apartment itself was just as described-- tidy and homey, with all of the necessary living essentials that one may need on a vacation. We never ran into Paul, but it wasn't needed as he was just a phone call away. A+ on communication! Thanks again, Paul! I highly highly recommend this listing to anyone and will definitely be visiting here again in the future!"
2514145,19228505,2014-09-08,2704276,Arlene,The apartment was very clean & described accurately. Anything you could possibly need is there for use. Conveniently located off the highway with easily accessible restaurants & grocers. Paul was helpful when needed & I would definitely stay again when in Austin. 
2514145,19394805,2014-09-11,9955333,Suzanne,Everything was wonderful and as described. The location was perfect. The place was inviting and Paul made sure things I may have forgotten were available. There was even a welcoming beer in the refrigerator. There was plenty of hot water and the shower pressure was great. I will definitely  consider this place on a return visit to Austin. It sure beat a hotel!
2514145,19699109,2014-09-16,10737863,Seyedmahdi,"every thing was perfect, better than we thought. thank you so much Paul.

2514145,20056098,2014-09-22,14141465,Sean,Nice place. We had a great experience. 
2514145,20445103,2014-09-29,20988851,Eric,"The apartment was great.  It was clean and simple, but still had everything that you would need to stay there.  The location wasn't too far from the city and it was easy to get to from the highway.  Getting setup for the weekend was easier than I expected as well.  Five Stars, Thanks!"
2514145,20759643,2014-10-05,20607302,Jessa,Very clean and comfortable. Safety was important for me so I very much appreciated the great neighborhood and gated entrance. Exactly as described. The perfect base to visit Austin before I move there next year. Thanks Paul
2514145,21198492,2014-10-13,11616687,Maria,Great place exactly as seen and described. Felt completely safe especially for two women at ACL weekend. It was a gated community and easily accessible right off the highway but without the traffic noise at night. Paul's place had great space abd was very clean! Both the couch and bed were super comfortable and we definitely appreciated the WiFi and Netflix on a rainy day. Will definitely stay at Pauls the next time we're in Austin.
2514145,21473200,2014-10-18,16050402,Katie,"This was a really easy place to stay right off of I-35.  Paul's place is aptly described as basic, but clean and comfortable.  It was perfect for a quick overnight for me."
2514145,21613625,2014-10-20,21984603,Ben,"Paul was an awesome host for our two-day trip to Austin. We never got to meet him but he was very responsive to texting with any of our questions or concerns. He was also very generous in offering anything to make our stay more comfortable.

The apartment was very clean, modern, and comfortable during our stay. The location is GREAT -- right off a major highway in a safe, gated apartment complex, and within 10-15 mins drive from downtown. 

A million times better than staying in a hotel, given the price difference you would expect for a nice place like this. 5/5 from me! We will definitely try to book here again when we go back to visit.  Thanks!"
2514145,22141608,2014-10-31,21061301,Josebelo,"I was in Austin for a conference downtown.  Paul's apartment was close to I-35, which made it easy to get to and from the conference center.  Rush hour traffic was bad, but that's life in the big city.

The place was as described; simple, yet clean and located in a gated community, for added peace of mind.  There is a full kitchen for preparing meals.  Laundry and fitness facilities are also available in the complex, although I never got the chance to use them.

As a host, Paul was very accommodating and responsive to inquiries.  

All in all, I'm happy that Paul let me stay at his place!"
2514145,22649118,2014-11-11,21297965,Emiryn,"We really had a wonderful time! My boyfriend and I stayed there for my birthday and the location is great. It's about 15-20 minutes from Austin and he had most of the essentials already for you in the bathroom. My only critique is that there really weren't enough appliances for cooking if you do decide to cook. But, otherwise this was just amazing! He was very accommodating."
2514145,23722429,2014-12-08,24276176,Thomas,Paul is great. The place is exactly as described and was very clean. It's in a nice apartment complex and I would definitely stay again for future trips. 
2514145,25756446,2015-01-25,1985587,Joseph,"Paul's apartment is in a great location between Round Rock and Austin. It's clean, comfortable... pretty much everything you could want in a place. I had a pleasant experience with no issues whatsoever. 

Paul as a host is very responsive and goes beyond what he has to in making his guests comfortable. 

All in all, I will definitely be contacting Paul again if and when I have to return to Austin. "
2514145,25984916,2015-01-31,11976610,Megan,"Paul was a fantastic host! He was super communicative, extremely accommodating, and was even kind enough to extend our reservation when our plans changed at the last minute. Plus, the apartment felt like home away from home, and was generously stocked with anything we might need. My boyfriend and I loved our stay and would definitely book again. Thanks, Paul! :)"
2514145,27820012,2015-03-12,22812458,Kristy,"Place as described. Everything you need (certainly more than a hotel) and clean. Great location for getting into Austin, Round Rock or Pflugerville. Paul checked on us via messaging and was very helpful for anything needed."
2514145,28277493,2015-03-21,5165967,Harold,Paul's place was what I needed for my 3 day stay in Austin.  The location was close to the highway and major department stores and restaurants.  I recommend any one looking for a one bedroom to contact Paul when visiting Austin.
2514145,30331458,2015-04-20,30407652,Robert,"We had a great experience renting from Paul. The apartment was exactly as described, very clean and cozy. Paul was quick to respond and was very helpful with directions and instructions. I would happily stay there again."
2514145,30811762,2015-04-27,19238948,Leslie,"Paul's directions were clear and specific. Thank you for helping us find and use your place! It was exactly as described and met our needs for this trip to Austin. We were close enough to Round Rock to go there for shopping on Saturday without much trouble.

Thanks again, Paul!"
2514145,33317144,2015-05-26,33508218,Ileana,Paul was such a great host! Accommodating to his guests and available if needed. His apartment was exactly as described. I would definitely stay again.

2514145,34468570,2015-06-08,33683728,Chris,"I was weary to try Air Bnb, but the reviews of this location made me give Paul a chance. Paul's apartment was very warm and welcoming. The value for what we paid and what we received was phenomenal! He left food and beverages for use and had everything we could possibly need. The location of the apartment allows easy access to the highway to travel all around Austin. I highly recommend this place!"
2514145,35869587,2015-06-22,32387162,Jay,Awesome comfy little apartment. Perfect stay for 2. Everything was straight forward and easy to work with and no hassle. Wouldn't mind staying there again on my next visit.
2514145,39671835,2015-07-25,22003041,Brandon,"Unfortunately, in short, the place was overpriced, relatively dirty, and in an unsafe location. Paul was GREAT to work with in setting up the place, and to his credit, I am not sure he knows about the ""safety"" issues.  I stayed for 2 weeks in July.  (I have been an avid user of Airbnb, and have listed my place on many occasions.  I also have lived in Austin for several years).  I just needed a place to hold me over for two weeks.  The bed was uncomfortable, the bathroom dirty, and the unit had a distinct, uncomfortable odor upon entry.  I found various bugs several mornings in the bathroom.  (To Paul's credit, his advertisement is accurate: it is basic, very basic). While staying for the two weeks, cops visited the apartment complex twice at night (next door building) for violence related issues and reports of gunfire in the area. Frankly, it is too highly priced.  For the rate its listed as, it would have been better to just stay at a Red Roof in the area; cleaner and possibly safer.  Also, if you are looking to stay or visit Austin, I would suggest staying closer to downtown, as it is very far north.  If you are looking to stay north, anticipate a 20 to 25 minute ride to locations worth seeing in Austin.    "
2514145,40979433,2015-08-03,38561644,Amber,"The house was quaint, the neighborhood was quiet, and check in/out was very easy! We will certainly stay here in the future. "
2514145,46081362,2015-09-07,22052739,Dejuan,"The location was great, I was only 10 minutes away from 6th street. The apartment was exactly the way it was describe and I would definitely re book it."

1048859,10943150,2014-03-14,1804467,Thomas,"We stayed at Derek's for SXSW. It's a good location with pretty easy access to the downtown area. The combination of price and location is great for travelers on a start-up budget. 

Rooms were clean and the second bedroom is an upstairs loft, which adds to the charm. Derek is a thoughtful host and prompt to respond. Definitely a strong recommendation. "
1048859,11163814,2014-03-23,13242348,Alyssa,My best friend and I both stayed at Derek's awesome space. It had a sweet spiral staircase and a good size patio that we enjoyed eating our breakfast on almost every morning! We were close enough to downtown that getting a cab was fast. Derek was quick with responses anytime we needed anything and seemed like an all around good guy. We jammed sweet jams on his guitar and  had a  memorable first time in Austin. We will definitely be back! 
1048859,11369176,2014-03-31,1495438,Judith,"We had a nice stay at Derek's apartment. I have not met him in person but he called me to make sure that we had found it.The apartment was big enough for the three of us and we had everything we needed. 
It was relatively close to the hip areas in Austin but there was not much around within walking distance (as far as we could tell)."
1048859,11454812,2014-04-03,3102184,Andy,"Derek was very friendly and welcoming. The pool is a great perk as well. Derek's place is ideal for up to 4 people, but 6 would be pushing it. Overall, It was a good value for the money."
1048859,11697636,2014-04-12,12710962,Nick,"Me and two friends recently stayed at Derek's place, which is excellent value for money, especially for travelers on a budget!  The location is great, close to downtown and Barton Springs.  Derek is a good host and very quick to reply to any questions you might have.  As for the place, the bedrooms are of a great size, it was clean, the balcony was nice to have and the pool is an added bonus.   Would definitely stay again!"
1048859,11753761,2014-04-14,5846288,David,"Derek's loft apartment made for a nice two-night crash pad for me and three friends.  Derek was uber hospitable, friendly, and prompt to communicate.  He provided clear directions to his place, and provided instructions for entering his place as well.  He also made some great recommendations for place to eat in town.  Highly recommended!"
1048859,12403266,2014-05-01,6809531,Jill,"Lovely place! Well situated in terms of freeway access if you have or have rented a car. Easily the most impressive bookshelf I've ever seen. Derek is as accessible as you'd like him to be-very quick response to any questions/issues. We were welcomed by pastries,freshly ground coffee, and amazing ice cream in the freezer-a.k.a.: the trifecta of joy. Highly recommended."
1048859,13051248,2014-05-18,10954418,Kenny,We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was cozy and suited us well. Derek was a great host and gave us great advise in where to go to get the best Austin experience. Highly recommended.

The patio overlooking the huge amazing 4-10ft deep pool was the best part.

Stayed here for ACL and the place is about 10 minutes from Zilker and 10 minutes from Downtown !


A great spot to be in. 

Would definitely rent from Derek again !"
1048859,21930242,2014-10-26,6770608,Diego,"Derek's place is great; super location, clean and well designed.

1048859,22558660,2014-11-09,22938307,Esme,"Derek was a great host! Very helpful and welcoming. We were in Austin for the weekend for a music festival, and it was only a short (10 min/$10.00) Uber ride to Auditorium Shores/Town Lake. Good proximity to downtown, nice to have loft bedroom and spare bedroom downstairs for our travel buddy. I would definitely stay here again."
1048859,22877935,2014-11-16,23723364,Laura,"I booked this place for a group of 3 adults. It was perfect for what we needed. Derek was really friendly and responded via text and email quickly. I'd stay here again. My favorite Austin restaurant Hai Ky, is right around the corner.  It's close to everything with a car. This is my first time using this website...I see no reason to ever book a hotel again."
1048859,23416093,2014-11-30,11964908,Pedro,"Derek was an awesome host. Everything was as it looked in the pictures, plus the view of the pool from the balcony. The place was nice, spacious, and the location was close to the South Congress shops, downtown, and a lot of great places to eat. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, and Derek provided plenty of recommendations. I definitely recommend his place."
1048859,23927759,2014-12-14,22811151,Jamie,"Derek was easy to communicate with and gave great recommendations. The loft is located in a quiet complex with easy highway access. Its only about a five minute drive to/from downtown which was nice. Linens were nice, patio was awesome, we even enjoyed the board games. Only complaint is that the bed upstairs seemed very fragile. However the room is pretty large and it had a real comfy futon too. :) I'll definitely be coming back."
1048859,24693633,2015-01-01,119588,Vero,Derek was always very quick to respond to my questions. The home was comfortable and match the description.  It would have been great to use the pool but for that we will have to come back another season!
1048859,24977462,2015-01-04,654148,Helana,"Derek's apartment was in the perfect location and close to everywhere we needed to go by Town Lake and Downtown. Also, the home was very homey and we enjoyed our stay. "

He even had a few adult beverages in the fridge that he told us to help ourselves too. Overall, it was a great experience!"
1048859,26250773,2015-02-08,1644073,Kevin,Great little place in an awesome location.  We loved it and will certainly be back.  The kitchen was well stocked the place was clean and the host incredibly helpful and communicative.

1048859,27143544,2015-02-26,15108279,Mauro,"The loft was SO cozy and comfortable, and only a few minutes from our favorite spots. Linen was fresh and clean. He even left a little bottle of tequila out, a definite plus!"

1048859,28384585,2015-03-23,25718709,Daniel,We had a wonderful stay at Derek's. The area was calm and only a 10 minute drive to town. Highly recommended.

1048859,29075934,2015-04-03,30077221,Tommy,Derek did a great job making us feel welcome. He was super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The description of the place is accurate and maybe even nicer than we hoped with a balcony and a pool. The experience really facilitated our trip to Austin and we are happy we chose this property.
1048859,29217722,2015-04-05,5784316,Ernest,"Derek met me at the property, which is conveniently located near two major freeways for getting around South Austin.  He explained the layout of the condo and suggested some nearby cafes and restaurants.
The condo itself was tidy.  The bath had plenty of towels and supplies.
The kitchen was stocked with tableware, cookware, and standard appliances.  The patio had a table and chairs for relaxing, and also overlooks a large pool.
The loft space was roomy with a bed, couch, chairs, coffee table, bookshelf, as well as a guitar for strumming.
Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the space to anyone needing basic accommodation and a convenient location to south Austin entertainment."
1048859,29625849,2015-04-10,12655243,Jen,Nice place to stay and convenient location.
1048859,29839708,2015-04-13,26424872,Taylor,Derek's place was the perfect location for our Austin stay! For making trips downtown or to zilker park nothing seemed too far away! We also went to an event at the circuit of Americas which was less than 20mins. Derek and his sweet girlfriend had great recommendations for restaurants and breakfast! Would definitely recommend:)
1048859,30915757,2015-04-28,1036998,Ray,Derek took great care of me. Like you would a friend. He also had his place cleaned and ready to go. I felt like I was having my mother coming over to see my new place for the first time it was so clean! Great location and easy to get to. I will defiantly look at staying here again. Very easy to get in and get out. Thanks Derek!

1048859,32420673,2015-05-17,33108560,Tasha,"My brother and I were in Austin for 2 things: Rush at the Austin360 Amphitheater and my 25th bday. To say it was an unforgettable birthday is only putting it lightly. It was my favorite trip to Austin thus far. Part of that experience was us getting to stay in Derek's loft! Holy cow did I not expect how cool it would actually be! I've stayed in a few airbnbs but none like Derek's! Upon our arrival, I had previously told Derek about why we would be in Austin and he greeted us with his cute pup and a Rush concert playing on his tv. What a great warm welcome! I'd suggest his place for these reasons: it was a reasonable distance from downtown and other great exploration spots, great food/coffee nearby, access to a 10' pool if you wanna dive in, dog friendly (but my dog's nails were making a ton of noise on the wood floors), and just an overall cozy escape. Thanks Derek! We'll be back!"
1048859,32929706,2015-05-23,33228444,Walter,We stayed here for one night during Memorial Weekend. Derek made arrangements for us to get the key since we were going to arrive in Austin after 10pm. It is a convenient location close to downtown and the airport.
1048859,33169500,2015-05-25,24745663,Nara,"I had a great time staying at the loft. Home was clean and in a convenient location. Derek was a gracious host. While we didn't meet in person, he stayed in contact throughout our stay and recommended great places to check out in Austin. If I ever make it back there, I wouldn't hesitate to stay in his home again. "
1048859,37822513,2015-07-10,9473352,Micah,Derek made our family feel very welcomed!  He met us at apartment and provided us with recommendations for resturants that were unique and family friendly.  We had a small issue with the airconditioner and Derek acted quickly to rectify the issue.  Would definitely stay here again!
1048859,38075369,2015-07-12,4689326,Heather,"Derek was a great host!! The place was exactly as described and was super clean. Derek went above and beyond to make us comfortable and welcome. Communication was superb, with quick replies and help when needed. Most definitely would stay again."
1048859,38971961,2015-07-19,30409559,Jazz,Derek was an awesome host. He was very welcoming when me and my guest first arrived. Giving us several names of places we should check out. He showed us around the apartment and left us to enjoy. LOVED the pool. 
1048859,43984938,2015-08-23,39638132,Adam,"Derek was a fantastic host for the entire trip.  He responded quickly to my inquiry and answered all of my questions promptly and completely.  The picture's are real and the place actually looks like that!  It's really easy to get around and is close to major highways, making travel easy.  If I ever find myself down in Austin again, this will be the first (and hopefully only) place that I'll check for availability.  Thank you for the great experience Derek!"
1827216,10918904,2014-03-13,1001421,William,"Chris's apartment was wonderful, spacious, and had everything our group of three could possibly have asked for. Chris made checking in a breeze and was very helpful in offering local food recommendations. Do eat/drink at the nearby Whip-In Parlour Cafe if you have the chance - It's also a great place to wait for a cab.

The condo is very well located in Austin. It was perfect for our six day stay during SXSW 2014. The Travis Heights neighbourhood is just a quick cab ride from downtwon and very easy to get to and from (even when taxis are in short supply during South by). We'd love to stay here again next year!"
8349240,48448820,2015-09-26,44119956,Shannon,"Courtney was a great host, she was very responsive with any questions I had and sent me a list a great things to do and eat while in Austin. Great location, just walked down a little hill and over the river and you are in the middle of the action. If you are just staying downtown no car is needed. No TV but honestly we were so busy we didn't even have time to notice. "
8349240,52173827,2015-10-26,26737345,Sarah,"Courtney was wonderful, great communicator, and very accommodating. 

The studio is in a great location just across the water from downtown and within walking distance to some phenomenal restaurants and S. Congress shops. The location couldnt have been better. The studio itself is just as lovely as the photos depict with a private deck and flawless ambiance. 

Thanks, Courtney! I hope to make it back someday :)"
4183299,28001164,2015-03-16,5844299,Amanda,"Kenneth is a fantastic host, super helpful, friendly, really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and the whole process easy. The place is lovely as well - charming, beautiful and clean. I would definitely stay there again when in Austin. "
4183299,49587596,2015-10-05,13229964,Josh,Beautiful home and great location! Kenneth's house was clean and upon arrival and greater us with a bottle of champagne. Could not have asked for a better experience. 
4183299,50429354,2015-10-12,33439688,Jenn,"Kenneth was fantastic, quick to answer questions and very friendly! A few days before we arrived we received the welcome packet that had a list of recommendations. We arrived to a very clean and charmingly Austin styled place.  The bottle of champagne welcoming us helped set the trip off in the right direction! A group of us stayed here for ACL. It was perfect walking distance to the park, along with nearby restaurants and bars. You can very easily Uber it to 6th Street as well if that interests you, along with S. Congress. "
8050989,50596411,2015-10-12,6254985,Brittany,Host was very welcoming and gave us very helpful tips for our time at ACL. He was incredibly responsive and flexible when we had an emergency! Would definitely stay again!
958401,3785792,2013-03-14,4907721,Shaili,I rented Lewis's home for a band to stay at for SXSW and everything was great!  The location was perfect and everyone was very comfortable.  Thanks for sharing your home and being so accommodating!
958401,10917108,2014-03-13,8937448,Jochen,"Lewis is a wonderful host who takes care of every tiny detail.

The house is great for SXSW visitors, a 10 minute walk away from ACC in a wonderful, quiet neighborhood.

"
958401,10999727,2014-03-17,8329819,Alex,"My wife, friend and I stayed at Lewis' house for SXSW.  Lewis was a very flexible host with regards to our arrival and departure times.  His house is very clean and comfortable, and we had no issues while we were there.  In addition, it's easily in walking distance to Rainey St and east side 6th st areas.  I would stay here again on any trip to Austin."
958401,21350190,2014-10-15,11737504,Kevin,We had a great time in Austin staying at Lewis's home.  The house is centrally located to Rainey Street and other areas of downtown.  Lewis was very responsive and helpful.  
958401,28093471,2015-03-17,1098801,Daniel,Lewis was very helpful in getting us checked in. The house was great!
958401,28484320,2015-03-24,16467756,Stephanie,"Lewis was very welcoming. He greeted us and took us on a tour of the house when we got there. His place was very clean and comfortable and he even stocked the fridge with some welcome beers. He was very helpful and responsive when we were asking about appliances and such.  

A couple of things I would note - this location is in a very neighborhood-y area. We were frequently awakened by the sounds of birds, dogs and cats outside. 

The outside of the house is also very different looking from the inside renovated part.  

The bathroom does not have outlets and he is missing a few appliances like a dryer, dishwasher and newer toaster. 

Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend Lewis to others visiting Austin. "
4148428,22612068,2014-11-10,18658781,Dana,"Great location, beautiful apartment, attentive owner. Lovely back yard spot to sip coffee. Really appreciated the snacks and the use of the Internet. Could not figure out the DVD but her neighbor came over immediately to help. Would definitely stay again."
4148428,28213361,2015-03-20,251901,Anna,"This is a wonderful spot! Extremely homey and cozy, and a quick ride to the center of town. Quiet neighborhood. Annecy was great,  really sweet and easy to coordinate with."
5959229,30261983,2015-04-19,16759205,Kate,"Marc & Tatianas apartment had everything I needed for my short 3-night stay. It is close to all the essentials, including one of Austin's biggest shopping malls, a Whole Foods, as well as tons of restaurants. Their place was also extremely clean and was recently renovated and furnished with modern furniture. It's also just a quick 15-20 minute ride to downtown, which makes it great for the price. As for hosting, I mostly corresponded with Tatiana's mother, who was quick to respond and extremely polite. "
5959229,30353348,2015-04-20,6155613,Alicia,"They were very nice, they did not bother us or get in our way! The place was cute and clean and perfect for our weekend overnight stay!

 "
5959229,30964835,2015-04-29,22370272,Mercedes,"We planned a last minute trip to Austin before our hiking trip and needed a place to stay that would also take dogs. Marc & Tatiana's place was the answer and we were so happy to have found them!

The apartment is very clean and comfy. Parking was a breeze and the location is pretty nice. I believe it was only a few minutes drive to Walnut Creek, 5 minutes away from this amazing breakfast place (Cafe Java), and about 15 min to downtown. Tatiana was very prompt with answering her text messages, which was very helpful when we needed to stay an extra day due to the weather. "
5959229,31024636,2015-04-30,22370272,Mercedes,Tatiana made ou lives so much easier by allowing us to book an emergency extra day! It was such a breeze.

5959229,42828050,2015-08-16,31411246,Jessica,"Perfect location. The grounds were both quiet and clean and the inclusions such as the pool and gym were nice. The condo itself was the perfect size for us (me and my fiance) and our two cats. Had all the amenities we needed for an extended stay in Austin (2.5 months). The only thing missing was internet, which is crucial to have for an extended stay. While the condo does not advertise internet, it is available from Time Warner Cable and was reasonable and easy to set up (have to take off panels to expose cable ports). 

The condo was as advertised. There is plenty of parking near the condo, lots of things to do in North Austin, and it is an easy Lyft or Uber ride to Downtown Austin. 

Tatiana was wonderful: responsive but not overbearing. Always got back to me with answers to my questions very quickly."
5959229,44149829,2015-08-24,35770995,Steph,The apartment had every thing needed for my stay. Tatiana was very accommodating when checking in. Everything worked really well and was a good place to relax after long days in the city. It's a perfect place for a week long stay.

5959229,46765737,2015-09-13,1751459,Heather,"VERY NICE CLEAN apartment!  Tatiana was friendly, WELCOMING and kind hearted.  I really like the newly renovated decor.  They EVEN PROVIDE COFFEE!!  REALLY NICE TOUCHES like q-tips provided, body wash, hair dryer, plush towels, soft toilet paper, paper towels and even some condiments in fridge, plus ORGANIC OLIVE OIL which was so HELPFUL for when I whipped up some eggs in the morning.  All the kitchen necessities you need!  No wi-fi so if you need your computer, be sure to be aware of.  Tatiana shares in write up there are some close by places to access wi-fi.  If you are a light sleeper, BRING ear plugs.  If you're not, this is the perfect place for you!  The insulation between the walls & ceiling seems thin.  I'm a very light sleeper that didn't get much rest (not the norm of majority of sleepers).  I could hear upstairs resident walking around and then Sat. night woke up with music from next door at 1:30 am - not super loud, yet I heard (for most people they would sleep through this), so this is no criticism of this VERY NICE garden flat, merely for folks who are sensitive sleepers or are very aware of sound due to medical conditions, etc.  Tatiana is a CARING airbnb host and I suspect would want ""highly sensitive sleepers"" to be mindful of.   Despite that, I'd plan to stay here again as it was COMFORTABLE (really nice mattress with soft sheets and good pillows), CLEAN, close to my destination, AFFORDABLE & I liked working with Tatiana.  You'll be comfortable and pleased with your choice to stay at this CLEAN & COZY flat!

Anything we could have possibly needed was provided.  Tatiana was just great about communicating with me on my way down to Austin and so accommodating when we were unexpectedly late to arrive.  She is very reliable and quick to respond.  :)  The neighborhood is very quiet and safe.  We will definitely stay here again!"
5959229,48675849,2015-09-28,30079022,Morod,"Beautifully clean place. Quite neighborhood and nice a close to everything in downtown (15 minute drive). Fresh towels, bedding, and a balcony!  Deff a nice experience and tatiana was very helpful when i needed to find the place. Thanks for everything guys."
5959229,49247721,2015-10-02,33008833,Isobel,My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Tatiana and Marc's place. The space was small but had everything we needed and was perfect for two people. Thanks guys! :) 
5959229,49589181,2015-10-05,33780763,Tiffany,"Marc and Tatiana were super friendly and prompt when returning my questions. The apartment was tidy and cute, and it definitely made my first airbnb experience all the more enjoyable. The decorations in the apartment made it more welcoming, and the sofa was also really comfortable to sleep on! The kitchen was well stocked with many gadgets and spices that made for making breakfast really easy. It was spacious enough for 3 females to comfortably live together for 3 nights. The apartment was in a nice part of town with a lot of sidewalks for running. There was even a church down the street, which was super awesome for a friend who decided to go to church Sunday morning. There were many food shops and grocery shops around the area, so the drive was short if we needed to buy anything. "
5959229,50594779,2015-10-12,44354327,Talrah,We loved this place. I was less than a $20 uber away from downtown and close to great places Like Cafe Java and hiking trails. I hope to book this room for my next Austin vacation. 
2432155,11037856,2014-03-17,4899703,Shannan,"This was a great place for us to stay for SXSW. 4 folks stayed here, and we could have comfortably fit 2 more. Tyler was a gracious and flexible host, the place was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and it was in a great location."
2432155,11786750,2014-04-14,3559682,Laura,"My apologies for the late review! We have been traveling!!! Many thanks to our host. We last minute needed a place to stay in Austin and fortunately this was available!!! Our host was super responsive, honestly within minutes and was very helpful in getting us keys. The apartment was clean and we had a comfortable stay!! Thanks again"
2432155,17370530,2014-08-11,13618872,Alex,"Tyler was an amazing host, so accommodating and friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
2432155,18770430,2014-08-31,19060077,Ashley,Great place to stay in Austin! Tyler was a great host with great suggestions! Thank you for everything! 
2432155,20029980,2014-09-22,19875688,Howard,We had a great stay at Tyler's place. It's spacious and tidy. The couch was probably the most comfortable place to sleep overall but the bed and futon were good too. The location is great for getting around the city quickly.  Would definitely stay here again. 
2432155,20747116,2014-10-05,19599050,David,Excellent experience! Tyler has a clean space and was very helpful in setting us up with no problems.  The area is definitely in a great location with a short walk right next to Zilker park and a lot of great local restaurants.  I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a nice Austin getaway.
2432155,21150203,2014-10-12,7268189,Josh," Tyler's apartment is in an excellent location, and although he wasn't there, any questions I had were answered with a quick phone call or text.  We attended for ACL and it was literally a t hesitate."
2432155,21488938,2014-10-18,20706524,Harri,Nice apartment in a great location!
2432155,22243622,2014-11-02,21738260,Elizabeth,"We used Tyler's place for a girl's weekend in Austin.  I can see how it would be perfect if you are going to ACL.  Pros: close to bars, restaurants, $14 cab ride to 6th street, Tyler was great at communicating.  Cons:  although the apartment was clean you can tell it was showing its age (walls peeling, toilet lose), the futon and floor futon were not comfortable (although coming in late at night it didn't matter much).  The couch was comfortable but we had to pull short straws for it since we saw a huge Cockroach run across the floor and hide underneath it."
2432155,27293874,2015-03-01,22629056,Sarah,"Clean place, extremely easy to communicate with Tyler. No TV. "
2432155,28023204,2015-03-16,28067154,Leticia,It was a great experiencie! Nice place to stay during the SXSW! Tyler is a nice guy and friendly! 
2432155,28134031,2015-03-18,28054115,Nina,"Tyler was very welcoming. His place is very comfortable and just like the description. The neighborhood is very charming and quiet. 
I recommend his place to anyone going to ACL, or just visiting Austin. But for people coming for SXSW (as it was my case), I advise to leave early in the morning, because after 8.30 am, it can be hard to find cabs in that area and Uber can get very expensive. "
2432155,29794104,2015-04-12,4794889,Nicole,"Tyler was very quick with all responses, and easy to communicate with, always responding right away.  The Zilker Park Barton Hills area is great, lots of stuff to do in the area, and a short cab to 6th or Congress.  The apartment itself was clean, but like a prior reviewer stated, showing a bit of age. Overall we had a great stay. "
2432155,30258214,2015-04-19,30289746,Alfred & Jennifer,"The space was perfect, an ideal location to visit all Austin has to offer."

5739382,30058532,2015-04-16,411936,Alycin,Brant is the best! He had a perfect list of things to see and do in Austin and went above and beyond to make sure I got where I needed to go while I was in town. He accommodated me last-minute and has a great set up for anyone who is looking for a good location and good price in Austin. The apartment is clean and cute I loved having my coffee out on his balcony overlooking the green hills of Austin. The couch was comfortable for me but might be a little small for a tall person. Definitely meet Brant before he sets out on his own world-travels!   
5739382,34392354,2015-06-07,34140730,Mike,The couch was comfortable and Brant allows me to use his desk as a work station. Nice guy and was just what I needed as a place where to stay for a night!
5739382,34679976,2015-06-10,34867638,Thurston,Staying at Brant's was just what I needed. Brant was very hospitable giving me a key and allowing me to come and go as I desired. He took the time to show me great places to eat and hangout. Brant also invited me to hang out with him and his friends and family to make my stay even more enjoyable. It was perfect for a short relaxing stay.
5739382,35186991,2015-06-15,31344304,Carlos,"Brant was very nice and responsive throughout my stay, his place was clean, and the couch was comfortable. I would definitely recommend his place to anyone."
5739382,35359992,2015-06-17,28822590,Nick,Awesome place to crash! He was super responsive and got me in instantly. Nice guy it felt like I was hanging out at a friends house. Couch is super comfy fit me fine (5'11) I would absolutely book here again.
5739382,37077685,2015-07-04,35032941,Christopher,"Great host, great guy. Brant is super responsive, warmly accommodating and good to talk to, his place cozy and clean. Has much to say and recommend about the city of Austin."
5739382,37379952,2015-07-06,27834935,Althea,"Exactly as described and Brant is really great at communicating. In fact, even though we didn't even see each other once - everything worked flawlessly!  So thank you again!  "
5739382,37525664,2015-07-07,37172789,Lea,"Staying at Brant's was a wonderful experience for my first time using airbnb. Although I didn't get the chance to meet Brant, he provided me with more than enough information and instruction on how to get to his apartment. He was very patient with my check in time due to my train being late, and would always respond back to me very quickly. Great host!"
5739382,38242708,2015-07-13,37329303,Rikin,I have to say staying at Brant's was great! He was easy to communicate with and was quick to reply. I would definitely recommend staying there for a night or two!
5739382,38571068,2015-07-16,35661157,Becky,"I didn't see the host while I was there but the apartment was exactly what I expected after communicating with him. Fun part of town! College area gave for many places to eat, drink and shop within walking distance."
5739382,44011013,2015-08-23,39225116,June,Brant was a great host! Unfortunately I couldn't complete my stay due to finding more convenient accomodation but he was very friendly and gave me some pointers on where to go in Texas. I'm really glad I met him for the brief period I did!
5739382,44386278,2015-08-25,41406170,Nibal,"I barely saw Brant for a minute, but from that encounter I can say that he seems like a nice person. The couch was comfortable and the area was quiet."
5739382,45012110,2015-08-30,42219922,Seongyong,Brant was really a great house! I was not good at speaking English but he talked me first and very kindly. He was also very bright. Now I became his friend. Couch was also very comfortable. I strongly recommend this airbnb. Thank you Brant. It was really nice time.
5739382,46249055,2015-09-08,43375792,Elisa,"I only stayed one night and I didn't meet Brant. The location is good, the neighborhood is quiet."
5739382,47816530,2015-09-21,39371495,Eric,"The host was very friendly, accommodating, and quick to respond to any of my questions. The place itself was simple and perfect for crashing just a couple nights. Walking distance from the UT campus."
5739382,48797861,2015-09-28,43937173,Jared,Brant was very friendly and welcoming throughout our entire stay. The apartment was very clean and in a good part of town. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
5739382,49647181,2015-10-05,4857560,Francisco,"Brant was pretty helpful and super easy to keep in contact with, even since I totally blanked out on some of my reservation dates. Would definitely recommend if you need a simple place to crash while in Austin. "
5739382,49825009,2015-10-06,44482901,Aron,"The place is really well located, a short walk to most places on campus and elsewhere in Austin. Brant was really helpful and nice and we had interesting discussions, even if we met only rather briefly. "
5739382,50490362,2015-10-12,43697782,Gerardo,"Brant was more than just a host. He treated me like a friend at his place. I really felt like I was at my own place. Brant is a really cool guy and will treat you like no other. If I could pick a place to stay at Austin, without a doubt I will pick Brant's again. "
5739382,50911579,2015-10-15,45548608,Abdallah,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5739382,51397587,2015-10-19,32525077,Allison,"Brant is the best. From the moment I walked in the door til when I left, I felt welcomed and safe. He gave great tips on the city and was wonderful to chat with.

The neighborhood wasn't in the *middle* of the city but it was safe to walk around and close enough to get around easily"
4219001,22346438,2014-11-03,16396812,Roberto,"We stayed the weekend of F1 and this was my first airbnb experience, Im happy to say it was better than I expected.  Jim O' was very welcoming, He made sure that we had anything we needed without me asking for it and I appreciated that very much.  Unfortunately we didn't spend to much time around the property since we were hanging around dowtown or at the racetrack,  I just loved leaving all the craziness and coming back to a such peaceful area.  The whole weekend was amazing and its all thanks to Jim O and everybody in the small community."
947412,10977556,2014-03-16,7305598,Eve,"The house was beautiful. Extremely clean and well organized, with lots of extra linens and towels (always a plus!). It was a pleasure to work with Stacey and I would definitely stay here again!"

It was also a nice room with a private bathroom and two awesome dogs. All-around, it was a great stay!"
5218561,30359508,2015-04-20,27700010,Peter,great room in a great location. the host was responsive and very accommodating. price was very reasonable as well.  
5218561,45117128,2015-08-31,5042627,Perry,"Derek wasn't there, but his housemate Steve was very helpful answering questions.  He wasn't around most of the time.  The room was very nice and clean, with fresh sheets and towels.  The rest of the apartment was fine; it was a classic bachelor pad.  There were two very nice dogs in the house; it was nice to pet them after checking out the town.  The apartment was in a college neighborhood, with lots of kids running around, but pretty close to the capital and downtown.  Overall, I enjoyed visiting Austin and staying at Derek's apartment."
5218561,45529339,2015-09-03,418298,Alex,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5218561,49707324,2015-10-05,27560055,Lauren,"We didn't meet Derek but he provided all the info we needed to get there and gave us his roommate Steve's number to coordinate arrival. Steve was great, very friendly and easy to get a hold of if we had any questions. The place itself is pretty much as described. Decent size room and bathroom, comfy bed, and clean enough place. Plus there's two cute pups there to great you when you come back :) The location is good too with cool restaurants close by. It is in a collegy area so if that's not your thing then just be aware. However with Uber's being cheap, the location worked perfectly fine for us. Overall, I'd definitely reccomend to anyone who's considering it."
5218561,51219503,2015-10-18,18749427,Doug,"Derek put me in touch with his roommate and everything was super smooth. Great apartment. Close to campus, close to some cool bars, and 0 complaints with anything.  Definitely recommend staying there. "
5218561,52540835,2015-10-30,13835811,Katharine,"Derek's roommate Steve was in charge of getting us into the apt/room. He was outgoing, welcoming and nice. Answered texts promptly and was at work during the day. Great location. Clean room, comfortable bed with a spacious bathroom and a lot of light. Two adorable dogs who were friendly. We spent most of our time out of the apt. Definitely recommend! "
6899493,36342985,2015-06-27,33244590,Andrea,"Anjali and Alex were wonderful hosts. My boyfriend and I stayed with them for 4 days and really enjoyed our stay in their home. They welcomed us and helped us with everything we needed. Their house is beautiful and the room was very clean and comfortable. The entire place is organized and decorated so nicely. I liked having our own bathroom connected to the bedroom. The patio was also nice in the evenings. The neighborhood is in a great location close to restaurants, bars and parks. We felt comfortable cooking in their kitchen and made breakfast some days. Their cat Oliver is adorable! If I ever need a place to stay, I would love to stay with them again. This was an amazing Airb&b experience!"
6899493,46075636,2015-09-07,38031090,Natasha,"Anjalis' home is BEAUTIFUL!! Although we didn't get to meet her, she was extremly welcoming and accomodating.  The house is SPOTLESS CLEAN and the fact that the guest room has an on-suite bathroom made it perfect for our needs.  The house is well located in an upcoming and vibrant neighborhood... We even got to enjoy Mueller's Farmers Market on Sunday, and I got to tell you: It is the real deal.  It's close to the Thinkering Museum, grocery store, great restaurants and coffee shops.  The house's location is perfect to enjoy/explore the city while going back to rest to a peaceful and hassle free neighborhood.  We would definitely stay @ Anjali's again.  "
6899493,47440940,2015-09-18,28194238,Lily,"This is our first time to use Airbnb.  We had a great experience with Anjali Keller!  She was the friendliest and most responsive of hosts, answering our queries promptly and generously, working with our slightly tricky schedule(checked in at late night) , making us feel welcome at every step.  Her home is modern and new, clean, spotless, perfectly well equipped for a stay."
6899493,47915943,2015-09-21,13663591,Nikki,Anjali's home is unbelievably clean and inviting. She was pretty hands off but also reassuring that she was there if we ever needed anything. Highly highly recommend this. Would do it again if I'm ever back in Austin! 
6899493,48855574,2015-09-28,11551941,Dewey,"What a beautiful home and wonderful, helpful, flexible host! I had a truly wonderful experience staying with Anjali in Austin! Anjali bent over backwards to let me stay in her home, despite the late time of my request and her being out of town. The house was beautiful, and absolutely spotless! Nicer than a 5-star hotel! I had a great time talking to Anjali and her husband, as well. I would most highly recommend staying with Anjali, & hope to do so if I'm ever in Austin again! (Oh, also her neighbors are great too! One even let me in late at night so I could stay)! "
6899493,49634911,2015-10-05,40819858,Merielle,"This was my first time using Airbnb and I had such a wonderful experience with Anjali and Alex! They were excellent hosts! They were very accommodating and really easy to communicate with.  Their lovely home is clean, modern and very cozy. It is also located in a pleasant neighborhood where amenities are within walking distance and Downtown Austin is within a few miles. I would definitely stay with Anjali and Alex again!"
6899493,50185493,2015-10-10,30221063,Caitlin,"Staying at Anjali's was the best! She and her husband were so helpful and accommodating. They gave me great suggestions of places to eat and drink. The house was neat, clean and the bed was super comfortable. Definitely a great place to stay in Austin!! "
6899493,50353086,2015-10-11,43272694,Trae,"My boyfriend and I were a little hesitant on trying Airbnb, but for our first experience - it was great! Anjali and Alex hosting us were wonderful - so welcoming & very friendly! We decided to go with Airbnb because it was during ACL musical festival, and all of the hotels were either sold out or outrageously expensive. Anjali and Alex's home is beautiful; very clean and in a safe neighborhood! It is also extremely convenient to get to and from downtown. We took an uber; which was only about $10-$15 each way.  The room was very comfortable and clean, perfect for the little time that we needed to get some rest! We highly recommend them to host your stay in Austin! :) "
6899493,50609423,2015-10-12,4097391,Prudence,"Anjali and Alex welcomed me into their pristine home and immediately I felt at ease and relaxed. I had a long week in Austin and was looking for a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin and, indeed, I found it. Their house was beautifully furnished inside out, from the porch swing to the comfortable bed to a really fancy washer and dryer. It makes you want to go home and throw out all your own things.

I did not know too much about Mueller but I loved it as it was storybook-like, reminiscent of the Back-to-the-Future 50s billboard. The location was a convenient drive to downtown and you can easily find neighborhoody stuff like the gigantic HEB grocery store, Starbucks, etc.

A & A were extremely courteous and friendly and you can tell that they were thoughtful about their guests' comfort. They even have very detailed instructions to set up chromecast in your room. I had a very fun and enjoyable chat with them and even learned a bunch of things about plants, business, and technology!  Overall, I had a great stay and would love to be back.  "
6899493,50825723,2015-10-14,36677595,Sandi,"We had a great, although very brief stay at Anjali's home.  We arrived about 7pm and left 12 hours later, but the accommodations were exactly as described.  Immaculate, comfortable and quiet.  Great location too.  "
6899493,51099961,2015-10-17,27548962,Olga,"Anjali responded to our request right away, and once we arrived she and her husband and Alex made us feel welcome.  They helped us find some places to eat in the neighborhood, and when we had a question about a place that had music Alex called a few of their friend and came up with a very nice recommendation.  We really enjoyed our stay, and would stay at their home again."
6899493,51872054,2015-10-24,46416489,Bridget,"We had a great time in Anjali's lovely space - the room was quite clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the great company of this fun couple. We were so glad to have explored Austin from this spot!"
867806,40506988,2015-07-31,36141574,Sharon,"We stayed at the Beautiful Allandale Flat for one week in July 2015.  The Apartment is brand new and it is in pristine condition.   We came across this apartment because my husband and I were in need of a temporary home.   Peter and his wife were delightful and extremely helpful.  The location is excellent,  walking distance to awesome restaurants.  We took an UBER ride Downtown and it only took 10 minutes.  The porch is a great place to relax after a day of excursions or fun in Austin.  I loved everything about the Allandale Flat.  "
867806,46174032,2015-09-08,40992428,Anthony,"Peter and Tara left a card greeting me and refreshments in the refrigerator and Peter was available at all times but discreet about my privacy; I did get a chance to meet him and am glad I did, he's a very nice guy!

I already knew the neighborhood (Rosedale/Alandale border) and love it, but the flat itself exceeded my expectations.  A very comfortable living/dining/kitchen area, a bathroom with a very roomy walk-in shower and a comfortable bed that I think was queen-sized, at any rate larger than a full/double.  A few extra works about the kitchen:  It is VERY well-equipped with dishes, utensils, glasses, mugs, and tons of pots and pans.  Any kind of cooking you want to do can be done.

The flat is in walking distance of the exploding (everything in Austin is exploding!) Burnet (pronounced ""Durn it!"") Road area with tons of good food of all varieties and lots of great local craft brews very close by.

I know that on my next visit to Austin I will check first with Peter and Tara to see if this flat is available on my travel dates!"
8393291,48813872,2015-09-28,44624902,Jayar,Great location and a comfortable stay.  Christina is an accommodating host.
8393291,52850804,2015-11-02,14450406,Kaycee,"The listing was exactly as pictured! It was the perfect amount of space for the 2 of us, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We liked the bonus of having AppleTV available for our little bit of downtime. The window in the bedroom area was really beautiful and serene as it let in the perfect amount of light. The sheets were incredibly soft. Christina was very easy to communicate with, and we appreciated how flexible check in/out was. We loved how quiet the neighborhood was. It was a great place to stay. "
8167348,50580334,2015-10-12,28660916,Bisan,"Sam was great ! He made us feel right at home and provided us with everything we needed in the two nights that we stayed there. The neighborhood is very nice and pretty new as well. Condo is super nice and roomy. It is located about ten minutes from downtown/Zilker Park, which was great for ACL festival. All around great accommodation!"
8167348,51378995,2015-10-19,44381077,Mitchell,"Sam was a great host with a laid back disposition. He was there to greet me on arrival with a fresh set of towels, and he was full of recommendations for food and drinks in the area. It was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood only a few miles from downtown, with both Torchy's Tacos and H-E-B a short bike ride from the condo. The balcony overlooks a park with a nice view of downtown Austin over the treetops, and it was a nice place to relax with a drink in the evenings. My friends weren't arriving until later, and Sam generously offered the use of his bike to explore the area while I waited for the rest of my group to arrive. I would absolutely recommend Sam as a host."
936349,3756646,2013-03-11,4563085,Patrick,"Jerri was a fantastic host! She was amazingly hospitable, providing access to all areas in her beautiful house. Jerri also provided plenty of information on public transport around Austin and Downtown and was incredibly friendly, warm and just a great larff : ) If you're every looking to stay in Austin, look her up as I can guarantee you won't be disappointed! "
936349,6575077,2013-08-17,1384407,Venu,"Jerri is a wonderful person and she did her best to make my stay comfortable. The bedroom is well appointed and the bathroom is private. There are two cats in the house, so if you are allergic, you should know. "
936349,9187055,2013-12-11,3627328,Stephanie,Stayed for six nights at Jerri's place while I was visiting my son and was really pleased I chose her listing. She has a lovely house and my room was luxurious - the bed was sooo comfortable. Had my own private bathroom with access to any toiletries etc I could have wished for. Great wholesome breakfast too. Jerri is very kind and good humoured and really makes you feel at home.  Highly recommended!
936349,10411148,2014-02-17,11335045,Tricia,"Jerri was perfectly pleasant & her home was great.  She was welcoming, love the zen/yoga books & the buddha in the room."
936349,10960456,2014-03-15,12035061,Robert,"Jerri was a great host, glad she had an interest in music and media during my stay for SXSW"
936349,11387889,2014-03-31,13566128,Jonathan,"This was my first time using airbnb and Jerri made it a wonderful experience. On a scale from 1 - 10 she was an 11.  She was a delightful host.  The room was immaculate and beautifully decorated.  As well, she has tons of helpful information to help you get around and enjoy Austin.  You can't go wrong with Jerri!"
936349,11943088,2014-04-19,14338422,Jason,This was my first Airnib stay. Jerri was awesome!! I am a professional hotel and bed and breakfast photographer have stay in the best of places and the worst. Jerri's is top notch. The bed is so comfy I did not want to leave. I will be back in Austin and I will certainly stay here with her warm and loving hospitality.
936349,12322342,2014-04-28,5983748,Marcus,"It was a pleasure for me to stay in Jerri´s house and she is a really great host.
She was well prepared, had great tips for Austin and served a delicious breakfast.
The room is very nice and i felt very comfortable there!

I would recommend to come by taxi because the public transportation is not the best (for European dimension ;-).

Thanks for all!"
936349,12615840,2014-05-06,13163063,Erin,"Jerri, her house and the neighborhood were better than I could have imagined. The communication after I made my booking was excellent (I booked several months before I came out). Jerri provided really clear directions from the airport and my husband and I were able to show up and get all settled in with ease. The neighborhood is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Just what we were looking for to wind down each night of the music festival we were attending (Austin Psych Fest). The house was very cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated, and there were even 2 kitties to keep us company while we were away from our pet. The accommodations were better than expected (wow what a comfortable bed)! Jerri has so many wonderful and unique recommendations for things to do and places to eat around Austin that we were bummed that we didn't have much time to check them out, but when we come back we will get the chance. Breakfast was ready for us every morning (coffee, juice, muffins, fruit, etc). We would definitely recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin and we plan for this to be our go to spot whenever we come back! Thanks Jerri!"
936349,15374939,2014-07-07,17264817,Gagan,"Jerri was a great host; gracious, friendly, and kind. Upon our arrival she gave us the key to the house and a list of things to do in Austin -- exactly what we needed as out of towners for the 4th of July weekend. We ended up taking most of her recommendations and went to the nearby Whole Foods for a beer and oyster happy hour, rainy street for good food, 6th street for fun etc etc.  

The room is exactly as pictured. The mattress, very comfortable. Nice walk in closet, and little books on the bed side to read at night. The bathroom is just outside the room. It has everything a hotel provides and more, from soap and shampoo to Q-tips. We went to downtown a few times which was about 20-30 mins away depending on traffic, but we didn't mind the drive. The only thing we missed of a hotel room was personal temperature control of the room.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Jerri's house.  
 "
936349,16184007,2014-07-22,9616915,Brian,"Jerri is a credit to Airdnb. No doubt. Knowing little about Austin, I managed to have a nice trip with her help. Also, I now know why her other guests have raved about the bed. "
936349,17287234,2014-08-10,17262810,Nina,Jerri was awesome! She checked in with me frequently to make sure I had everything I needed and was clearly happy to offer advice and recommendations about Austin. The space was as described and definitely met all my needs.

I was looking for permanent place to stay and she was helpful about the neighborhoods.  Her home is nestled in a quiet area.  The bed was heavenly.  Kudos!"
936349,20629653,2014-10-02,6263811,Sam,I had a very positive experience: Jerry was welcoming and was a good host offered flexible check in times and accommodated me when my travel plans changed and kept things fair. She had great recommendations for places to go and see and was fun to talk to. When I developed an allergic response to the house stuff she offered to and vacuumed my room and changed sheets. Also had a great care package in the bathroom for her guests.
936349,20822144,2014-10-06,1283933,Karl,"Jerri was a fantastic hostess from the time  I arrived until I departed. She made me feel right at home and was super helpful with my weekend plans for ACL.  Her neighborhood is quiet and the location is close to a great workout facility and many stores as well. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.

Lovely breakfast snacks laid out looking out onto the little garden. No end of helpful advice on how to get about the city. Would highly recommend.

She even provided breakfast that catered to my gluten-free diet. I instantly felt comfortable and safe at her house. I enjoyed a walk in her nice neighborhood. And what a great location for my meetings at the PayPal office which is within walking distance! This is a great place to stay for anyone traveling for business at EA, PayPal, eBay, Oracle or Apple."

936349,23380136,2014-11-30,23002753,Beverly,"Jerri was a very pleasant host and met us with information about the Austin area. It is a nice touch to have printed material just as you would at a hotel. We had a most comfortable bed and bath with toiletries supplied and a light breakfast. Beautiful, clean home located close to our destination. Jerri even gave us a parting gift from a local candy shop. Enjoyed our stay at her lovely home."

She made our stay pleasant and enjoyable, and I'd highly recommend staying with her. She knows Austin really well, too, and definitely ask her for recommendations about where to eat. She put us on to two restaurants that were amazing.

936349,28100408,2015-03-17,24207987,Sujata,"J was very warm and gave me tips on SXSW venues, how to navigate and made my trip pleasant and safe. She also offered light breakfast with coffee, tea and snacks. The house is clean and very welcoming. She always made sure I knew how to get in to the house with the shared set of keys. J had a great list of tips on what to do in Austin. 

The neighborhood is very safe, quiet and beautiful. I highly recommend this place. "

The house is clean and comfortable and it was nice to stay somewhere with pets, because I was missing mine. J was very accomodating with delicious breakfast food (local pastries and fresh fruit, yum) and she also provided a big snack basket full of yummy snacks, which was so nice, because I was always on the go. J also has tons of knowledge for local activities and restaurants. My music festival ended up being a total bust and my allergies had me feeling under the weather, but luckily I had J's hospitality to get me through my trip! Thank you!"
936349,33191068,2015-05-25,15891875,Raveendra,"The pictures of the house do not do enough justice. It's much better,  absolutely clean and organized. we enjoyed the entire stay. J made us feel comfortable and did everything to make our vacation better.  She had a lot of good suggestions for enjoying Austin, trust me, it helped a lot to better utilize our time. She baked some delicious scones for us. I can keep going listing the good things. J is very friendly and a great host. Lot of attention to details to make the stay enjoyable. 
She has the cutest dog. Overall it was great stay and I would recommend it to anyone."
936349,35170125,2015-06-15,4140428,Aly,"I came out to Austin to look for a home since we'll be moving out there next week. I have stayed at a lot of Airbnb places, and by far, this was the BEST private room stay I've ever had. Staying with Jerri was like staying with a long-time friend. The communication from the time the reservation was made, to the time we met and all throughout my stay was great! She is an excellent host and it is very evident that she is passionate about providing the most comfortable stay for her guests. Her dog Molly is very sweet too, and Jerri is a very responsible and respectful dog owner. About the room/bathroom...wow! I'm biased because my favorite color is purple, but I loved the decor, the linens and the bed was soooo comfortable! The printouts that Jerri left in the room were very helpful as well. She really has gone out of her way to think of everything to make the stay go as smoothly as possible. I even had the opportunity to go out to dinner with her a couple nights and get to know her. She is so sweet and I now consider her a friend. I highly recommend staying here, you won't regret it!"
936349,40782021,2015-08-02,15587205,Ben,"J made us feel very welcome from the start. When we arrived, she gave us a warm greeting and tour of her nice, clean home. She also gave us a list of entertainment options that included some of her favorite places to eat! From there through the rest of our stay, she let us have our space but checked in from time to time, which was nice.

 J made us breakfast every morning and always left a basket out for snacks, coffee and tea. Water and other refreshments were readily available.

My wife and I had a great experience! I wish that we had more time to talk with her during our 5 day stay because J is a very welcoming and kind person. "
936349,42598254,2015-08-14,40152240,Andrew,"One of the most generous and gracious people I've met. She's made my stay wonderful and I give my highest recommendations to the next guest that decides to stay with her! Just fantastic, 5 stars all around. "

360156,2553623,2012-10-08,615442,Summer,"Logan and his roommate were easy to get a hold of, quick to respond to questions and easy to work with.  The house itself is nice and set up like a bachelor pad.  We had to park on the street due to the goats, but it worked out.  I was a little worried about the neighborhood, but the next door neighbors actually came over to help me get through the gate when they saw me struggling with my luggage and the goats. Lori left breakfast in the fridge for us so that was greatly appreciated and wonderful to have sunday morning."
360156,2635278,2012-10-16,3704409,Tim,"Logan is an awesome host, he let three other friends park their RV in the driveway for the weekend of ACL which was very nice of him, he is very helpful and gives a lot of advice on local events and places to see. The house is great and slept 6 people with two air mattresses, great open living area and kitchen. The goats rule the yard which can be interesting at times but overall a great rental thanks Logan!"
360156,2925251,2012-11-20,2056957,Andrew (Drew),"Logan was an awesome host to our group of F1 fans coming to see the inaugural USGP at COTA.  He and Lori gave us great advice on restaurants, bars and convenience stores near the house so that we could get acclimated more quickly than having no points of reference.  The goats were a riot and the cat, although unhappy most of the time, tolerated our presence with grace and dignity.  We had a blast and were very comfortable.  Thank you thank you thank you Logan!  We loved it and got great value for our money.  More importantly, we got to meet you and enjoyed your company and sharing ""your"" Austin with us."
360156,8779639,2013-11-18,3387549,Juan,We had a great f1 experience at this house. It had very quick access to the shuttle parking and really close to downtown. Logan recommended a few places and was very informative. Nice for a host to drop off extra blankets too.  Very cool projector with internet access to read each Austin sites.  Our entire party really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend a stay here. 
360156,21984006,2014-10-27,22492801,Amanda,Over all a wonderful stay! Felt extremely safe with the locked gate and security cameras. Clean and comfy. Great place for a large group. The sound system was awesome.  Cute yard and gazebo area. The shared space was perfect and open lots of seating and rooms were large. Loved it. Will definitely be staying here any time I come to Austin.
360156,28167944,2015-03-19,2050786,Maddy,Logan was extremely welcoming and lovely. The house is quite far from the city centre but close to East Austin and some great places to hang out. Would definitely recommend getting a bike or car though. 
360156,28217485,2015-03-20,26424388,Denholm,"Secure space, lots of room, good price!"
360156,36585248,2015-06-29,34961395,Ariel,Logan was a spectacular host! He had drinks and food for snack and breakfast for us. He was flexible about check in and suggested places and things to do. He also had a good movie library. So great! The place was really clean and definitely big enough for our party and more. The house was in a good location and close to downtown. I would definitely suggest staying there.
360156,37122712,2015-07-04,35656891,David,Logan is a fantastic host and the entertainment system was incredible. We had two families with 5 kids and it worked out great!

360156,39113765,2015-07-20,38363889,Raishawn,I've only done AirBnb a few times and this by far was the best experience so far. Logan was an awesome host. He even bought drinks for us to have for our stay. House was very clean and in a good neighborhood. Super flexible about the check-in and out. Also very generous. I would definitely recommend. 
360156,40006355,2015-07-27,33322170,Sarah,"Logan was a great host. Very accommodating and thorough.  We loved the house,  it was exactly what was needed for our trip. We had plenty of space and with 3 couples in a single house we were never in each others way which is great! My bf loved the beers Logan bought for us, a very warm welcoming touch!  Logan was very responsive to our texts and questions.  Everything works perfectly and not to mention the amazing movie collection provided to keep the guys entertained. 

Beds were comfortable,  and we eye provided wit lots of clean sheets and blankets. Best touch of the house as how easy and close it was to everything.  We definitely recommend this lis ting and highly commend Logan for his hospitality. "
360156,40838633,2015-08-02,39299244,Jorge,"Logan was an excellent host. It wasn't our first trip to Austin, but is was our first trip to Austin using Airbnb. The house was more than we expected and easily slept 7 of us comfortably. The projector screen with his movie collection was incredible. The second we walked in we connected with logan on so many levels. He left some food and drinks for us and directed us to many convenient stores in the area. If you are staying in austin and want to feel safe and comfortable, stay in Logans house! "
360156,40990803,2015-08-03,38958683,Lauren,"This was my first time to use Airbnb and Logan made things really easy.  He was quick to respond to any questions or concerns.  Once we got there, Logan was very personable and accommodating.  He even bought some drinks for us to have for our night.

The house was perfect for what we needed.  Each bedroom had a big bed and plenty of room.  The projector TV and sound system was awesome!  The house also felt safe and secure while we were there and away.  Definitely recommend staying here!"
360156,43155177,2015-08-17,39475482,Linda,Logan was an AWESOME host! He greeted us when we got to his house and gave us a tour. There was complimentary beer in the fridge too.Logan had a projector that is hooked up to his computer that projected onto the wall. He had a very nice sound system with a large database of movies. The house was nice and clean. Originally I think I had submitted 8 guests but 1 more ended with our group and Logan was OK with that. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone with a large group of 8. 
360156,45208681,2015-08-31,42536687,Daria,Logan was great! Very approachable and hospitable. I like that he came and met with us at the house as we settled in. The place was exactly how he has it listed. It is very cute and cozy. I liked that it is fenced and our vehicles were gated in and not parked on the street. I also liked that it is dog friendly.
360156,46180963,2015-09-08,39022289,William,The location and place was great. Logan was very friendly and helpful. Very flexible on times of arrival and departure. Helped with any information we needed. House is very comfortable and had everything we needed to have a farewell get together. The price is reasonable and real close distance to downtown. The projector was good to use while we were just chilling at the house. Plenty of sleeping arrangements. I would gladly stay here again. 
360156,47006224,2015-09-14,43804979,Arturo,Host was awesome... place was big and very clean. Will def be making a trip back soon!

360156,49613398,2015-10-05,14725014,Dacia,"Logan was an incredibly hospitable host.  He was very flexible with check in and check out.  The house was clean and tidy when we arrived and Logan even shared a few beers with the group.  There was plenty of space to sleep and an abundance of movies to watch on the projector.  He gave us great recommendations for where to eat locally, which worked out great. And the location was great. Logan was also easily accessible and replied to messages quickly.  We definitely enjoyed our stay.  Thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your home.  "
360156,51353474,2015-10-19,9808825,Steve,Logan was 's great host! We had a great time and he was very accommodating.  Would definitely stay here again!
360156,51993256,2015-10-25,1642988,Mary,"Logan was nice, but the pictures were definitely very misleading.  Logan did mention that the lawn/outside did not look like the pictures, but I was actually a little surprised when I arrived to see the inside of the house as well - the pictures do not portray the rooms appropriately.  The rooms have ""bride of frankenstein"" posters I did not feel comfortable having my kid see, and the linens were not really luxurious - they were a little worn and the colors were a little weird for me - red/green/black sheets.  Granted - there is a washer/dryer, and the bathrooms are clean.  The cat did come in (there is a cat door that lets him/her in).  If you want a party house, this has 3 BRs and 2 BAs so will house at least 6 and is good for that purpose, but I would say it's not a place you want to bring your parents (or kids?) - location is very close to Franklin's bbq (that's a plus!), but the neighborhood is a little seedy."
360156,52882255,2015-11-02,15568665,Andres,The house was awesome! He was very accommodating and even left us some beer and candy. Would definitely stay there again and planning on doing so next time we are in Austin. 
4371070,37374102,2015-07-06,28639407,Nicole,"Hannah's place was awesome! Convenient location (near the I-35), the house had a cool eclectic and relaxed vibe, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet with plenty of local restaurants/food trucks nearby. We weren't able to meet Hannah, but she left helpful notes for us all around the house, and we were able to call her if we needed to. I would highly recommend staying here if you visit Austin!"
4371070,41017360,2015-08-03,38801861,Caleb,"The room was perfect! The house is actually in Austin, so getting around the city is super easy. The room is big enough for a quick weekend trip, and everything was super clean. While during our stay we didn't run into Hannah, the house cat was a friendly addition. I would definitely recommend, because honestly the worst thing about the room was that the shower is a bit drafty when you get out! If you book here, it's a good decision."
4371070,44143965,2015-08-24,37370676,Allison,"Everything about my stay was great! Great location, beautiful home and a great price. Hannah was so nice and easy going. My cousin and I stayed for the weekend and loved every bit of it. We will be coming back. Highly recommend!"
4371070,51508838,2015-10-20,31597995,Kristin,"Hannah's place was awesome. She wasn't in town most of my stay, but it didn't matter because I had everything I needed and she left super helpful notes everywhere (pointing out where the French Press, recycling, extra towels, etc. were). She was also super quick to respond if I ever sent her a text about anything. The place was exactly as described and adorable. I loved the private entrance and even had my own small porch with a rocking chair and shade tree. This has probably been my best airbnb experience yet as Hannah is just smart about how she's set up the house and seems she's anticipated any renter's needs before having to voice them. I'll definitely be staying here again."
2431340,34464796,2015-06-08,33527891,Mark,"Great location near Zilker Park.  Close to everything but several blocks from main streets, so quiet at night.  Outdoor screened patio is awesome."
2431340,35684527,2015-06-21,33784938,Ann,We were welcomed by one of the owners for our 3 night stay. She made sure we had everything we needed. Home was very comfortable for the value and location was perfect!  Beds were a little better than average but would have liked more comfort. Overall would highly recommend this place.

2431340,47143853,2015-09-16,466273,Heide,Our stay at Zilker House has been wonderful. The house is very Austiny and has a nice interior. The garden is pretty and great for hanging out outside. Our little boy and little dog loved it. The location is spectacular.  Close to downtown and close to all the great restaurants on south Lamar. The neighbourhood is great for walks as well as having a play on the playground across the street. John has been very accommodating to us and has worked with us to make sure we enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much for the positive experience. 
2431340,49591944,2015-10-05,10702696,Adi,"The house is absolutely gorgeous, very clean, and spacious. We very comfortably fit five people in, but we definitely could have fit more. It is a short walk to Zilker Park, and a quick car or cab ride to all the happening spots downtown. John was fantastic, he made the booking process simple and was very accommodating. I would definitely book here again!"
3081552,30746648,2015-04-26,31803760,Ana,"Dmitri and Angie were both very pleasant, kind and accommodating. They were very thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Would definitely book with them again."
3081552,32345601,2015-05-17,30229124,Thanh,I had an amazing time at Dmitri's! He was very inviting and welcomed us in with positively. The bathroom and bedrooms were spotless and very comfortable. We got to watch movies/tv in the living room whenever we wanted. Everything that we needed or forgot was there waiting for us. Dmitri made the stay very enjoyable and easy! I will definitely be going back whenever I visit Austin again!

The room is spacious and it possesses a big empty closet with hangers where a could hang my weekend clothes. Johnny was really kind and left everything ready for us.

1725449,11048227,2014-03-18,7783050,Juliette,"Myself and my band LOVED staying at Eric and Deborahs home in Austin... I was performing at SXSW with my band and this house was a perfect location for us all to stay with plenty of room to fit 4 men and 2 women.... loads of yummy restaurants just a stones throw away( KERBY , RED LOBSTER)... a beautiful and quiet street and the most peaceful, relaxing, spacious clean and welcoming home you could wish for.... 
Everything you need is on the main road 2 seconds from the house, including the number 3 bus which took us no more than 20 minutes every day to get into downtown where I was performing and all the craziness was going on.....
I would honestly highly recommend this as a home from home and Im a VERY fussy person..... Eric and Deborah were amazing hosts answering any questions quickly, were very friendly and also even came to see one of my shows when I was there..... 
Its actually making me sad looking at the pics of the house.... we miss our second home haha
Thank you Eric and Deborah....
xxx"
1725449,21202067,2014-10-13,3510861,Erin,"Our stay at Eric and Deborah's house was fantastic. The house accommodated my parents, husband and two young sons perfectly. There was ample space and the house is in a lovely neighbourhood. The area was quiet but there was still easy access to key amenities such as groceries. Eric met us at the house and explained everything to us so that we were able to use all the facilities (such as washer and dryer) with no issues. In addition, he kept in constant contact with us throughout the stay to ensure that we had everything we required.

I would not hesitate to stay at Eric and Deborah's house again and recommend it to everyone who is going to Austin!"
1725449,28256090,2015-03-21,27148871,Burcak,"Eric & Deborah are AWESOME!!! They helped in every step of our trip. We were 4 people, came for SXSW and we surely want to stay again and again. The location is perfect if you got a car and most important part is, it is near by the Kerbey Lane :) yummy pancakes for 7/24.  "
5235417,28062382,2015-03-16,29268251,Jay,"First time to use Airbnb. I had a late check-in and an early check out.  House in an older neighborhood.  Key was in location as told. Room was clean.
For a quick , unplanned visit to SxSW, this room worked for me.  "

755676,3771036,2013-03-13,4325828,David,"This apartment is immaculate and the host is gracious.  The place is in a very cool transitional neighborhood and within a reasonable walking distance of downtown Austin.  Moreover, the neighborhood was full of Cars2Go so getting around was a snap."
755676,3997973,2013-04-02,4903016,Liam,The place was great. Very close to some cool music venues. We saw live music every night and ate fantastic cheap food at the many food vans. 
755676,4120536,2013-04-11,5657223,John,"We loved the place, it was great to have a little home away from home in Austin.  Interesting neighborhood, easy to find/park/get downtown.  We bought dog treats for the local dogs and made alot of friends. Thanks for leaving a few treats (coffee & cookies especially) as it made us feel very welcome."
755676,4285224,2013-04-24,5753537,Abby,My fiancé and I stayed in this great little apartment. It was immaculately clean and well kept and Christina recommended a lot of awesome places in the neighborhood and Austin for us to check out. Very nice.

755676,5587071,2013-07-07,6297941,Kristi,I really enjoyed our week long stay at Cristina's in the heart of East Austin.  It was near many restaurants and bars.  Its central location was perfect for checking out all the different neighborhoods quickly.  The apartment was clean and comfortable.  We'd look to stay here on our next trip to Austin.
755676,5967629,2013-07-24,703042,Julia,"Cristina's place is clean, comfortable, and well situated in East Austin. The apartment has all the amenities that you can wish for!

755676,7807084,2013-10-04,3120533,Jena,"I had a fantastic time at Christina's place. I was there for a month and it felt like home. I love the neighborhood, the atmosphere and how close it is to fun things to do on the East Side. "
755676,8373607,2013-10-28,8932185,Louis,"From the beginning we were pleased with Cristina's responsiveness and desire to accommodate her guests. The ""Treehouse"" was a wonderful experience. We found it to be well appointed, very clean, and very comfortable. Her attention to detail is to be applauded. The apartment has comfortable furnishings and decor. The quality and cleanliness of the linen, towels and kitchenware only further insured our confidence and comfort. We will certainly use the apartment whenever we visit. Nice job Cristina...!!"
755676,8522644,2013-11-04,8568569,Laura,"VERY happy with the accommodations! Great location, quiet and fully stocked. Towels, sheets, paper products, dishes, cooking utensils, toiletries, and other random items that you might have forgotten. Foodstuffs- coffee in the freezer, beer in the fridge. And most of all, the apt was impeccably clean. Very nice. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again! Thank you Christina :) Oh, excellent communication from the host as well."
755676,8931905,2013-11-26,5110798,Tom,"A nice and cosy little cottage in Austin, perfect for our stay. Cristina even went out of her way to provide us with extra blankets when the temperature plummeted unseasonally during our stay."
755676,9023024,2013-12-02,4658134,Andrew,We loved Cristina's cozy apartment.  The East Side location was really interesting was a great jumping off point.  Cristina was great to work with!  
755676,9185435,2013-12-11,7513002,Lauren,"Cristina's garage apartment was really cozy for our week long stay in Austin! We were in town for the birth of our baby boy that we adopted and had all the amenities we needed. The temperatures plummeted while we were staying here, but we were perfectly warm with the couple heaters provided. "
755676,9272072,2013-12-17,6987478,Jessica,"This spot was perfect for our four-day weekend in Austin. The place was super clean and centrally located. It was a little bit hard to find for visitors because it was tucked away from the street, but it was nice and quiet. We'd definitely stay here again. "
755676,10070732,2014-01-28,11330644,Charles,"i had a wonderful time at Cristina's. conveniently located 5-15 minute drive to places i wanted to visit.  well, excluding the traffic on the weekend, but you can't control that :)

treehouse was wonderfully cozy and clean. all one needs for a  four-day weekend Austin get away."
755676,10208485,2014-02-06,630638,Michael,"Everything was as advertised and exceeded my expectations. Cristina was available and quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. In a nut shell, I'd definitely stay here again."
755676,10273623,2014-02-10,5187643,Natalie,"Christina's apartment was spotless when we arrived. We arranged an earlier check-in with no issue. We did not find the apartment hard to find, but as noted, it is tucked away off the street. We thought it was perfectly situated in the City to see all the East Austin hangouts but also see downtown. We walked back and forth a few times from downtown ... it is a bit far but manageable. There were endless possibilites in the neighbourhood for good food & drink! I would recommend her place to anyone looking to have a nice place to stay while in the City! "
755676,10416440,2014-02-18,8716132,Hanne,"I had a wonderful stay in Austin, and this little ""tree house"" was a great place to stay - close enough to downtown to walk, and also near cheap food which is always a plus. Thanks for having us!"
755676,19836752,2014-09-19,7383501,Stephanie,"Had a lovely visit. Cristina was prompt and helpful with all our questions. Not too far from the action, but quiet and quaint for rest. Would stay again. We didn't have a car & the city center wasn't really walkable, but we were fine with taxis, uber and lyft. Thx for a nice stay "
755676,20094606,2014-09-23,19737695,Amelia,"Cristina's tree house is beautiful, shady and cool. All of the linens were fresh, the water hot and I was very thankful to have a washing machine after taking on the greenbelt a few times. I had a lovely time there and I would definetly recommend it to anyone else looking for a quiet, cool, fun little space to play  Brainquest or just enjoy the area.  "
755676,20218246,2014-09-25,21618682,Ben,"The space was great, and within walking distance or a few minutes drive from everywhere I wanted to visit. Cristina was prompt and helpful in all of our interactions. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay."
755676,20506505,2014-09-30,16538824,Ossie,"Great location, very clean, quiet, with almost all the amenities of home. So nice to have a washer dryer while traveling. Cristina had thought of everything. I recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in Austin."

755676,21084026,2014-10-11,8041479,Charlotte,"The tree house is lovely!! It is quite big and clean and the rooms are decorated with taste. The bed is comfy and the sheets and towels are soft. The neighborhood is quiet and it is at a walking distance from downtown and you can also easily take a bus if you don't want to walk. If you are in Austin, I highly recommend you stay there :)"
755676,21275732,2014-10-14,14822371,Janet,Really enjoyed our stay at the tree house - it was cute and quaint and clean and had all the essentials.  Cristina was a great hostess in that communication was easy and efficient and instructions were clear to follow.   What I loved most about our stay was the location.  Lots of restaurants/bars/food trucks/coffee shops and just a fun vibe neighborhood. 
755676,22014915,2014-10-28,9909862,Anna,"This apartment has an excellent location for exploring East Austin, as it's walking distance from a plethora of restaurants, bars, music spots, shops, etc.,  while its location on a quiet residential street still makes it possible to get a good night's sleep and have a relaxing morning on the porch! We did not use a car while staying at this apartment and were able to get to the events we planned to go to in downtown, in addition to many spots in East Austin, with no great difficulties, using B-Cycle bikes, the bus system, and one Lyft ride. The neighbors in the house in front of this apartment were quite friendly on the one occasion when we saw them. Cristina's guide to Austin at large and the restaurants, bars, shops, grocery options, and transportation closest to the apartment was extremely helpful -- Specific, accurate, helpful info about prices, lines, proximity, recommended dishes, days of operation, etc.! It was great that Cristina e-mailed the guide to us several weeks before our stay, so that we could get excited and start planning, and also left a printed copy of the guide at the apartment. 
The snacks, sunscreen, and large straw sunhats in the cupboard, and the fact that the air conditioning was turned on prior to our arrival (making the apartment cool when we stepped in), were really thoughtful touches, too! (I especially appreciated the sunhats! - I had wanted to bring my hat from home, but since it was too large to pack, I'd resigned myself to a baseball cap...So the attractive, lightweight, large-brimmed straw hat was greatly appreciated!)"
755676,22393008,2014-11-05,13224473,Dan,Cristina was a very courteous host.  The description of the house was very accurate and the place looks just as it does in the pictures.  The location is absolutely wonderful; a neighborhood that I would absolutely consider moving to if I were to move to Austin.  There is an incredible cocktail bar around the corner called Weather Up that I would highly recommend as well as a fantastic bar called Yellow Jacket Social Club that serves amazing food late into the night.
755676,22642183,2014-11-11,2612262,Richard,"Great Spot- cute one bedroom garage apartment in east Austin was perfect for us.  Very clean with all the fixin's.  If you want to rent a bike, we highly suggest Cycle East a block away.  Thanks Christina"
755676,22979018,2014-11-19,13546277,Pamela,"This was a great spot to stay in Austin. It's a lovely, bright spot and very comfortable inside. We were there during a cold snap and the provided space heaters were greatly appreciated! East Austin is a great neighbourhood: close to the river, lots of interesting places to eat/drink, and a 15 minute walk into downtown. Cristina left some great area recommendations too, all of which we loved."
755676,23170986,2014-11-24,22349835,Bethany,Your place was a wonderful retreat where were able to snuggle up & watch it storm outside! Our accommodations were b definitely the best part of our trip.
755676,23430458,2014-12-01,7721729,Viola,Had a great time there. The place is as described on the listing page and it is close to some very cool bars. 
755676,23574291,2014-12-05,23414879,John,"I had a good experience with the apartment.  It wasn't perfect (like a Holiday Inn is perfect), but I did feel at home and it had everything I wanted.  The bed felt comfortable, the wifi worked, I could make breakfast, there were heaters to take the chill of 40degree Austin nights, it was private, and I felt safe except when the herd of Chihuahua came barking at me when I walked down the alley.  Luckily, there was also a Chihuahua proof fence.  BTW, Austin by bicycle rocks!  "
755676,24200383,2014-12-22,24544170,Ian,"I really enjoyed my stay at Cristina's Tree House in Austin.  The apartment was certainly as described in text and photos; was full of amenities listed and was very clean.  Cristina thoughtfully tucked in some cold beer in the fridge which was a lovely touch.  She was communicative throughout and I had no issues whatsoever.  I'd highly recommend, and would stay there again for sure.  "
755676,24605285,2014-12-31,14365671,Michael,We enjoyed our stay in this East Austin apartment (within 6 blocks of great hipster bars and food trucks!).  Plenty of space for us and a 5-10 drive to downtown Austin.  We were allowed to check in early on Christmas Day which was a huge help!  The apartment was clean.
755676,24820064,2015-01-03,22282840,Megan,The treehouse was very cozy. We enjoyed it. There was complimentary coffee and tea that we enjoyed every morning. The location was close to a lot of good restaurants on Yelp and a short driving distance to all the major locations like South Congress and 6th street. The host was great and very easy to get ahold of when we had questions or needed anything. Definitely recommend staying here if you want a quiet out of the way location in Austin!  
755676,25095449,2015-01-06,24292994,Lee,"House was very nice, well kept. There was even a bike map that we could borrow (now that is an Austin amenity)! The area was pretty accessable to downtown, didn't feel unsafe. Tacos nearby. "
755676,25354026,2015-01-13,7071641,Tim,"The apt was very clean and well appointed. Directions and Instructions for check-in were clear. The location cannot be beat in on the East side. Terrific bars and restaurants abound very near by. Unfortunately for us, we visited during one of the coldest weeks in Austin and the in-window heat unit was not quite up to the task. Christina very quickly came up with a suitable resolution and all was well with the world. During the vast majority of time in Austin this will not be the situation and I would stay here again.  Thanks again."
755676,25594796,2015-01-20,6618205,Melanie,Cristina and Brooke were both very easy to communicate with. The space is great for a couple or individual traveling alone.  Within short walking distance from some of the best tacos I've had in Austin at the Veracruz All Natural food truck on Cesar Chavez. About a 13 minute walk from the heart of bars and restaurants on 6th street. 
755676,25683036,2015-01-23,24836251,Jason,Coordinating our stay in Austin with Cristina and her new property manager was a breeze. The apartment was immaculate and had a great Austin vibe.  Ideal location for any east side restaurants/music venues.
755676,26103728,2015-02-03,7351909,Tyler,"The tree house was a great place to stay for the weekend!  Looked like the pictures, was clean and welcoming and we really enjoyed the balcony!  Overall, great experience.  "
755676,26225643,2015-02-07,26812143,Kyle,"The room when I opened the door was warm and welcoming. Every room had a heater on so the Texas cold weather was silenced by buzzing heaters. Very nice, thank you for the literally warm welcome. I was able to utilize the many outlets throughout my stay to recharge all of my devices I used at the TCEA convention. The epsom salt in one of the kitchen cupboards came in handy as hauling the equiptment around and standing all day left me very sore. Thanks again for all of the kind amenities  you have provided for your guests. "
755676,26385292,2015-02-11,5568659,Jacqlyn,"The tree house apt was simply adorable. We felt right at home. Clean and peaceful area. Everything we needed was there and it was a great location if you don't mind to walk. Downtown, the lake, nice restaurants all within walking distance. If walking isn't your thing, it's super close to the bus stop. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to others visiting austin."
755676,26816060,2015-02-20,10259503,Erika,"The host and property management company were easy to get a hold of and kind to us. It was a great value and just what a couple of people need who are visiting from out of town.
"
755676,26972389,2015-02-23,22489072,De'Anne,"The Tree House is wonderful! It's even cuter than the photos!! Very inviting and warm and cozy.  We would love to have been able to stay longer, it's the perfect home away from home. The location is great for events and food! We were less than 15 minutes from everything we wanted to do.  If we need accommodations in Austin ever again we will first check to see if the Tree House is available!!"
755676,27326562,2015-03-02,25863555,Cristina,"Place was nice and well kept, very clean and heated for our welcome. Plenty of towels and necessities. The neighborhood was a bit further then we expected from the main attractions of downtown, felt like you had to walk a mile to get anywhere. It was very quiet though. This was out first airbnb experience and it did feel strange to stay in someone's home instead of a hotel. That is more of a personal preference than anything with the place, it was great for the price."
755676,27554594,2015-03-07,6105385,Arielle,Location was great. Right next to some great food and bar options and close enough to walk to downtown. Nice little apartment with all the comforts of home. I had some problems when I first arrived and Cristina was immediately available to help me. Would stay here again. 
755676,27823314,2015-03-12,11153361,Christopher,"Such a cute place! Just a few blocks south east of the fun East Austin neighbourhood: Veracruz taco trucks, Vintage Heart coffee, East Side King, the beautiful Austin State Cemetery. The apartment was really cozy and comfortable and clean. Cristina was very helpful and immediate in her responses. Can't wait to come back!"
755676,28375245,2015-03-23,1867893,Yvonne,"We had an amazing stay in Cristina's tree house. Really loved the place, the location and the neighborhood. We especially enjoyed the patio where we spent our mornings with coffee and enjoyed the evening sun before heading out to the city again. 

Cristina was very kind and responded positively and quickly to our requests. She even accepted and brought us some packages that we've ordered. So kind!

Would love to come back some day!"
755676,28646239,2015-03-28,25699719,Steve,"We really enjoyed the Treehouse. It is tastefully decorated, very clean and had many wonderful small touches like great coffee, bath salts and beer in the fridge. The little porch is a great place to hang out. The only thing needed - a better cork screw and a more substantial key ring."
755676,28875878,2015-03-31,2617702,Marton,"Finding the place was easy, Cristina makes both check-in and check out instructions clear with a help of an app. The place was ready for us, it was clean, bright and surrounded by chirping birds. "
755676,29042926,2015-04-03,27427835,Drew,"The TreeHouse was very inviting, clean, and cosy! Fluffy towels, A/C, and coffee/sugar/tea in the pantry. Overall, it was a great stay and my girlfriend and I plan on staying there again on our next Austin trip!"
755676,29379344,2015-04-07,1623904,Kim,"I'll start with the pros: This space was clean and cute.  Plenty of space for a couple (we also had our toddler with us and if you bring a pop-up crib, it should be just fine.)  The apartment has it's own entrance and parking space, which was very nice.

Now the negatives: The most frustrating part of our experience was the alarm system.  We received a very thorough run down of the house via an iphone app provided by the property management company who deals with this listing. But there was no mention of an alarm.  When we arrived, we noticed that the alarm would annoyingly beep every time we opened the door.  My tech-savvy husband tried to turn that feature off and ended up arming the thing further.  When we opened the door again, a crazy loud alarm went off.  There was ZERO information with the code to disarm it and when we called the property management, it took them ages to track it down.  We ended up getting a visit from the fire department and everything.  Not the most pleasant greeting after a long day of travel.

Another kind of hilarious, but also annoying thing was the long term tenant who rents out the main house at this address.  The guy was ALWAYS home and loves to blast music and sing at the top of his lungs during the day.  I know Austin is a musical town, but... :)

We found a few cute neighborhood restaurants, but if you're the type who likes to walk to everything, this may not be the space for you.  Austin is easy to drive, so it wasn't a big issue for us.  Something to note, though.

Overall, it was a fine place.  Not amazing, but not horrible either.w2

755676,32175299,2015-05-15,1756447,Tracey,"We LOVED this place. It's a very big, open apartment for the location and price. We felt as if we had the whole area to ourselves as it's very private and quiet, even on the patio that we sat out and enjoyed nightly. Every room is this house felt big and open for a smaller place and the kitchen is perfect for cooking with a cute breakfast nook. My fiancé and I actually got engaged here at the apartment so it will always hold a special place in our hearts :) Checking in and out was very easy and the app that comes with booking this place made it incredibly easy to get any information we needed. It's super close to different bars and cocktail lounges on Ceasar Chavez and short walk to Rainey St, downtown and the east side entertainment area. Just FYI, the place has been painted outside so it's a greyish blue color now even though the pictures we had showed it to be yellow. We enjoyed our stay immensely and now wish we could live in this apartment full time! Thanks again!"
755676,33875335,2015-06-01,13058401,Erin,"A wonderful and professional experience. All the information necessary for this booking was on its own app, which was extremely useful—especially since my arrival time was too late to have the opportunity to ask certain questions once I got there. 

The tree house was extremely comfortable and clean. I highly recommend! "
755676,34618765,2015-06-10,24599858,Colleen,"This house is in such a fab location, so many cool bars and places to eat nearby! We had the best time and the recommendations were spot on. I wouls highly recommend hiring bikes and riding to barton springs and then hiking the trail. Austin was incredible and would love to visit again."
755676,34705015,2015-06-11,29819950,Sara,"I would love to say I loved it here but I can't. When we showed up I used the bathroom and noticed hair left from the previous people. I contacted the host and she sent her maid out while we were out at dinner and told me it was fuzz and not to worry that it had been cleaned. I'm sorry but I know the different between hair and fuzz. I decided to not worry and trust them. That lasted about an hour until I went to get into bed and found yellow stains on the sheets. I contacted Christina and asked for a refund and told her I couldn't stay here due to the cleanliness. She never responded and I had to cancel through AirBnB customer service. Also the neighborhood isn't great. I found a different AirBnB that was amazing and I would stay there again and again go find it! It's called Heart of Texas: Foodieville, the hosts are Kelly and Mark"
755676,35184056,2015-06-15,31284698,Anthony,"The Tree House was a great place to stay for my weekend trip up to Austin. Using Apple Maps will probably take you to the wrong house, as the entrance is in the alley by Canterbury Rd and not actually the street itself. The backyard area was spacious as well as the private lot that you can park your car in. Inside, everything was clean and ready for me to use. The kitchen cabinets were labeled so we could find everything pretty easily. One of the outlets shorted while we were there, but a quick phone call to Brooke had us back on our feet in no time. I would definitely stay here again!"
755676,35395805,2015-06-18,23479791,Janet,"  A sweet little place that was perfect for our weekend.  Lots of coffee in fridge, comfy sofa, soft towels, and walking distance to the Congress Ave bridge.  This was our fist experience with Airbnb, and would definitely try it again ."
755676,35783699,2015-06-22,17637802,Melissa,"We had a great time - the Tree House is perfectly located! Barbecue @ Franklin's and @ John Mueller Meat, good beer @ Hops & Grain, short walk to the Metro Train, and very close to the river hike/bike trail. Kitchen was well-equipped, lots of fluffy towels - really, an ideal place to stay. "
755676,36153574,2015-06-25,25107471,Tanesha,Convenient location in a quiet area. Guidebooks and previous guest recommendations were a great help in planning our activities! 
755676,36553868,2015-06-29,34053701,Caroline,"This adorable little tree house exceeded our expectations! The host generously left everything we needed for our weekend stay in Austin. When we arrived, the place was clean and tidy. There were were plenty of blankets and pillows, along with coffee and tea to help us feel cozy and comfy, plus cleaning supplies, paper products, and nice glass and silverware. We spent most of our time exploring the lovely city, but if we needed to be entertained at home, there were board games, books, and a nice TV with cable. The bed and couch were both super comfortable, and I just ADORED the vintage clawfoot bathtub. The little porch was perfect for relaxing and listening to the birds in the morning while overlooking the charming neighborhood. It is also close to some cute restaurant, bars, foot trucks, and an especially nice vegan place.  It felt just like home-- but better! We absolutely loved our stay and want to come back ASAP! Highly recommended!"
755676,36910191,2015-07-02,36357953,Lydie,"Yes it was accurate. Even though it said it was a tree house, we incorrectly went to the house in front of it, facing the street (mainly misled by the lock we saw in that house). Anyways, we had to call and within 15 minutes, someone was there to direct us to the correct house. We were thankful.  

The house was beautiful. The experience was smooth. My husband was thoroughly impressed that we got this amazing deal...we saved over $200. We were there for a convention and we couldn't wait to show off our deal to our friends that were there (and in the hotels) :-D

This was affordable and better than a real hotel!

thanks!! "
755676,38177973,2015-07-13,14949065,Sarah,"I couldn't have asked for a better mini retreat in the city!  There is such a peaceful vibe in this neighborhood and the Tree House apartment captures it perfectly.  It's super comfortable (great sofa and bed) and Christina definitely already has a list in mind of the things you might need or want to use while you're there (just basic paper towels, cooking utensils, coffee stuff, and a lot of other miscellaneous things you might not think of bringing with you).  

The location is perfect because it's close to a lot of fun things to do like the trail along Lady Bird Lake, and tons of great east-side bars and restaurants.  Not to mention how easy it is to get around from there (take Chicon if you're heading north, pop on Cesar Chavez to head downtown, and I-35 to travel south).  

I would definitely recommend the Tree House apartment to anyone (traveling alone or with one other person) looking for the best B&B living East Austin has to offer."
755676,39153914,2015-07-21,30908902,Yolanda,"My visit to Austin was perfect because of this location. The tree house was within minutes of everything. The place is cozy, quite, clean and safe! I enjoyed the area and all the hidden food and coffee gems. There isn’t a better spot in east Austin then the tree house!Ill be back soon! It has all the amenities and charm, I didn't want to leave."
755676,42249645,2015-08-12,28523789,Aaron,"My wife and I stayed at the Tree House for a week in early August, and overall, it was a fantastic but warm experience.

We were in town for RTX, and the service from Cristina and the company who runs the property was amazing from day 1. They communicated well and even offered to let a special guest of the convention ship something to their address ahead of our stay.  The place itself was cozy and relaxed, and my wife loved the large tub.  The location is fairly close to everything, and when it wasn't within walking distance, the longest we waited for an Uber was maybe 5 minutes.

Our only concern was how warm the place got during the day due to the triple-digit temperatures.  The Tree House does have two window AC units and ceiling fans, but those were not strong enough to battle the high temps.  It wasn't until very late at night/early in the morning before the place cooled down.  If you're looking to stay for during the warmer months, you might want to bring a small fan just to help.

As I said, overall, it was a GREAT experience, and we will absolutely be looking to stay here again in the future.  Thank you to Cristina and company for taking care of us."

755676,44418336,2015-08-26,35333563,Lindsey,"The rental in Austin was perfect! Nice, clean and private. Close to downtown and in a quiet neighborhood.

Christina & Brooke the property manager were very easy to get a hold of with questions and was quick to respond. Very helpful and nice, great to work with!"

Very well located, in a quiet district yet not far at all from the cool spots in downtown Austin. We will definitely recommend it to our friends visiting Texas. "
755676,45255564,2015-09-01,11906525,Frank,"This place was fantastic.  The A/C worked well in the late August heat, and it was more than enough space for two people.  It was a block away from one of the main streets on the east side (Cesar Chavez) and had restaurants and convenience stores all extremely close.  I'd highly recommend this place for anyone traveling to Austin."
755676,45596899,2015-09-04,5753629,Kelly,"We loved staying at the Tree House in Austin. The location was great. We were able to ride our bikes and rent kayaks close by, and it was a short Uber ride to Rainey street for food and drinks. It was nice to have a washer/dryer and a kitchen to use while we were in town."
755676,48066592,2015-09-23,4130767,Phil,"It was a nice house in a good location within walking distance to east 6th st.  Lots of good bars and food in the area and it's close to the airport.  The rental is the upper floor of a guest house behind the actual house.  It's a little weird, but once you find your way it's no problem.  When we called because we couldn't figure out the locks they were very helpful.

The house is clean and fairly spacious.  It doesn't have any cable channels if you want to watch a little tv before bed but has AC and is fairly new.  Overall a very good experience."

We were a little unsure about walking through the backyard and a fence to get to the apartment, but we quickly figured it out. We even managed to park our car in the little space next to the apartment - just be sure to have a small car if you want to attempt it.

We would definitely stay here again and recommend to our friends."
755676,50443373,2015-10-12,1681946,Beth,Cute place in a convenient location.  Great liquor store 400 feet away with amazing selection of microbrews and local brews.  Easy walk to downtown.  
755676,51636087,2015-10-22,25603677,Candice,"The location was perfect. Bars and food trucks are walking distance. Super close to e. 6th bars, heb, juiceland and hops and grains brewery. The house is cute and perfect in size for a couple. We uber'd everywhere and most of our rides were 5-7 dollars. Only set back is the driveway was a little hard to get out of if you have a suv size car but besides that it was PERFECT."

2977241,13024647,2014-05-17,590173,Christine,"Emily was very accommodating with our last-minute booking. Her apartment was great - well-decorated, clean, and homey. Bonus was the HBO - my husband got caught up on his Game of Thrones, so he was excited. She's within a short driving distance to many good eateries. We loved that she welcomed pets (even had dog treats available), provided shampoo/conditioner and a razor for our use, and was available through calls/texts when we had questions. Her apt complex is older, but does have a gated entrance and easy parking.  Her apartment, however, was updated and fresh with cute decor. We would recommend staying with Emily, and would consider her apartment the next time we're back in town. Thanks again!"

Emily was very helpful and responsive with any questions.

3561885,18816682,2014-09-01,11144019,Summer,Jeddy answered all my questions in a timely manner. He also sent a useful guide to describe the building and suggestions for things to do. He was timely and made the process smooth. 
3561885,19149181,2014-09-07,15193942,Steve,"This apartment was attractive, clean and comfortable, with a spectacular view from the balcony.  Our host, Jeddy, was friendly and helpful.  During our stay we only ran into one minor issue with the apartment (related to one of the appliances), and Jeddy was there looking into it within a couple of hours of our letting him know.  All in all, a very good experience at a fair price.  Recommended."
3561885,19208770,2014-09-08,19357950,Jarom,"Jeddy provided a welcome guide with the needed info for the apartment, along with recommendations on restaurants and attractions.  The apartment was clean and comfortable, with nice additions like the flavored water and fruit and fruit that he provided.  It was clear that he wanted us to have a good experience.  The location is very close to campus, and in an area almost completely dedicated to student housing."
3561885,20018977,2014-09-22,19649392,Eddie,"This was my first experience using airnb and I have to say it was a stressful experience. Our host showed up unannounced and complained in front on my friends, took our towels and took away the air mattresses. I had 0 noise complaints left the place in good shape everyday. He also left me paranoid text messages over the littlest things. If you want a relaxing trip with no stress this place isn't for you. Jeddy is all up in your business and is the most uptight host ever. Thanks for almost ruining my birthday weekend sir next time I'm using homeaway because they actually give you privacy."
3561885,20212025,2014-09-25,15351815,Dana,Excellent place to stay! Great location and an awesome view.  Jeddy was down to earth and easy going!  He always responded to any questions or concerns we had!  If you are looking for a hassle free place to stay in a great location then definitely stay here! :) 
3561885,20422261,2014-09-29,19476825,Jennifer,"Jeddy was helpful and provided information about the area. He allowed us to check in a little early so we could get ready for our friend's wedding which was very appreciated. The apartment looked a little different than the main photo we saw. Although it was clean and had amazing views that it promised,  we were really looking forward to the nicer looking apartment in that photo. Parking was a slight issue.  We were asked to park a block away in another apartment complexe's small parking lot.  "
3561885,21284268,2014-10-14,19915131,Kai,"We had a very nice week in Austin, attending a conference. Jeddy was a perfect host, providing us with lot of information about Austin and the neighbourhood (and good coffee!). The flat was perfect for us (two colleagues) with two separate bedrooms with separate bath-rooms and a large living room with kitchen. The view is just amazing in the top floor of one of the highest buildings in the area. 

It should be noted that the building is mainly (exclusively?) used by students living there. Especially over the weekend, it was very loud, with numerous parties going on besides and below our flat. It was ACL weekend, but I assume this is not only the case during ACL.

Another important fact is that one of the bedrooms has no window and the AC is quite noisy. These have been the only downsides spotted by us and they do not prevent us from awarding 5 stars happily. We wish you all the best, Jeddy, and should we come back to Austin in the future, we definitely would love to come back to your Manhattan suite."
3561885,22291071,2014-11-03,15647947,Rohan,"8 boys were heading for the F1 race in Austin. One of them was having  his bachelor party. The other 7 needed a kickass place in the heart of Austin with plenty to eat and drink around. Jeddy's 'Manhattan' penthouse provided the perfect setting. It was big enough to fit all of us. The views from the 21st floor were stunning. We had our own telescope, our own little gym, even access to the pool. The beds were like the ones from a seven star hotel, and the bathrooms were clean and felt luxurious. The place is very close to downtown and the famous 6th street. If you don't feel like walking, there are plenty of ubers in the area! Overall we had a fantastic bachelor weekend! I think we stayed at Ritz Carlton for 1/10 the price! Will definitely go back to the penthouse if I am in Austin again. 

About the host: Jeddy has been in touch with me ever since I first booked the place. He sent me a list of things to do around Austin, which was super helpful. He was very responsive by email or text. Overall, he played the perfect host and I don't think he could have done any better. Thanks Jeddy! "
3561885,22577727,2014-11-10,6287007,Cameron,"The whole process was seemless and Jeddy went above and beyond in making sure we were all accomodated and had everything you need. He sent us a packet of information leading up to our stay that basically answered any questions beforehand. The Property is mostly college students, but it was not or loud just pretty laid back. Perfect for going to any UT athletic event. Not too far of a ride downtown for a night out. "
3561885,23361506,2014-11-30,1668902,Jim,"Pro’s:
Excellent location, especially if you want to be near UT 
Stunning view from the balcony
Comfortable Bedding
Spacious
Jeddy arranged free parking in the building, which was a great benefit
Jeddy is affable and anxious to please his guests

Con’s
This high rise is a privately run complex of student apartments – hence the public areas are not well kept, it can be noisy and there are a variety of different, strong odors in various places
Jeddy’s apartment, which he has branded “The Manhattan” did not have a pleasant smell either
Stones in the bathroom sinks and around the bathtub were strange attempts to be “spa-like”
Balcony is not furnished as is depicted in Airbnb listing photos
Jeddy did not provide a second set of keys, as promised
The water pressure, including the shower was weak

All in all it was a good value but far from a Ritz Carlton experience, as is alluded to in another review.  
"
3561885,24462238,2014-12-29,7545456,Camille And Jack,"The host, Jeddy, provided us with ample literature prior to our stay, informed us there was a heated pool and gym, and made his apartment seem like a ""New York Penthouse""--as New Yorkers, we were excited to come and swim and take in the views. We were shocked when Jeddy showed up at 1 am to chat (even after I told him we didn't need anything) and continued to chat until we had to awkwardly tell him we were tired. He then asked if we would be able to chat further during our vacation (during Christmas this was an especially unusual request). We had to contact Jeddy the next day when we realized he didn't provide the pool key (we picked this place because it had a pool) and when he came, he left a pool key that didn't work. Finally, two days later, he left a working pool and gym key. The pool was not heated, looked dirty, and was extremely small. The ""gym"" was a tiny room with a few treadmills. The apartment is not a penthouse, it is a college dorm room on the 21st floor with extremely thin walls (we could hear phone conversations from surrounding rooms into the night) on a party floor--we had to call 911 TWICE to complain about the noise from parties. The apartment was dirty, the second bathroom's toilet seat was up when we arrived, and there was hair on our master bedroom sheets. We were extremely disappointed with the apartment, the service, and the stay overall. We feel like we were mislead into thinking this was a ""penthouse"" with a pool when it is really a noisy, dirty college dorm room with a nasty pool."
3561885,25159214,2015-01-07,16139607,Sean,"Jeddy was in frequent communication and sent personalized, comprehensive literature which looked professionally done and made checkin seamless. My family and I had a late arrival (11 pm) which he graciously accommodated. Jeddy welcomed us and we chatted about Airbnb and travel before he excused himself for the night.

Unit was immaculately clean and looked accurate to the photos.  The top floor view was even more stunning in person. Seeing the UT Tower lit up and in clear view at night was very unique. Free parking was a huge plus, as was being able to use washer/dryer. Can’t comment on the kitchen since we didn’t use it but it was clean. Location is superb and the area very safe to walk in even at night. Jeddy left two keys and a clicker to the gym and pool. Gym was accurate to the photos but I wish there was more equipment. 

The property is mostly student apartments but far from being a dorm room as claimed by other reviews. Rooms are clean, spacious and well-appointed. Bedding is especially comfortable and warm. One of the bedrooms does not have windows, but we knew about this in advance from reading reviews. It was quiet except for a continuous faint hum from equipment on the roof. Jeddy pointed this out in advance and provided “maximum protection” foam earplugs if we needed them, but the hum was no trouble and actually helped us fall asleep. If you are sensitive to noise then I suggest taking this into consideration. 

Overall if you want a hotel with tons of amenities and impersonal service, there are lots of ways to get that in the UT/downtown area, usually at twice the cost. Jeddy’s apartment was a great balance of amenities, convenience and affordability in a home environment. Knowing he is around to help and cares deeply about his guests also makes a big difference. Solid value and definitely recommended."
3561885,25442625,2015-01-16,15343941,Mark,"A friend and I traveled to austin for 3 nights from the UK. Jeddy provided a fantastic and detailed package before we arrived. So we knew everything before we turned up, from directions to great places to go out. The apartment was spotless! Beds were really  comfortable. The view from the apartment is just brilliant.  Easy parking.  Overall a great place to stay and jeddy was a fantastic host."
3561885,25558997,2015-01-19,25393627,Anjali,"Had a great time on a girls trip with 7 of us! Jeddy was responsive and helpful as needed throughout our trip and was able to get an extra parking spot for us on this particular weekend. The apartment was clean and pretty well stocked with towels, blankets, and a surprisingly nice queen air mattress. Balcony view was pretty great too.

One of the bedrooms doesn't have a window as mentioned on some of the other reviews but it's not really a big deal especially if you're trying to sleep in."
3561885,26995937,2015-02-23,13492643,Mary,"Jeddy was great! When we arrived he met us in the parking lot to help us unload our bags. Then he walked us to the unit and gave us the grand tour. The penthouse was fully furnished and provided us with everything we needed for the weekend. He even provided us with toiletries, snacks, etc. The view from the balcony was absolutely gorgeous! All of the bars and the Capitol were just a short Uber ride away. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone visiting the Austin area."
3561885,27140169,2015-02-26,17484464,Paul,"Austin was the highlight of my trip through Texas. Jeddy was responsive and very helpful and the apartment was clean and stocked with everything i needed. The balcony view was also pretty good too!

Thanks Jeddy."
3561885,27322103,2015-03-02,25475411,Yi,"Jeddy is a great host. We were very impressed when we checked in late and went out for a late night food, he called the restaurant for us. The place has the most exceptional view toward Austin downtown and UT campus. It is what the photos show if not better. The only thing to call out is the constant embient background sound from the building I am not sure what it is. All and all, with the same price you pay to Hyatt, this is absolutely a better experience."
3561885,28169002,2015-03-19,285568,Justin,"Jeddy was so welcoming, it felt as if we never left our office in California. Not only is his place in a great location to everything in Austin, but at times it was difficult to leave the Penthouse because everything was so cozy! Additionally, his Manhattan style around the Penthouse allows for a chic and fun atmosphere that can be shared and enjoyed by all. 

As a host, Jeddy is top-notch! His response time to any and all inquires was remarkable and he truly went out of his way to make sure everyone was comfortable and pleased with their stay. He is incredibly thoughtful regarding any needs for his guests, including keeping a well-stocked supply of makeup removers for the ladies, tooth brushes, snacks & drinks, kitchen ware for cooking and fine glasses for that end of the day drink with friends. 

Don't miss out on Jeddy's place and sincere hospitality. Our trip to Austin would not have been complete without our unique and enjoyable stay at Jeddy's Penthouse! "
3561885,28453646,2015-03-23,25419539,Seth,"We stayed in Jeddy's Penthouse during SXSW this year. Jeddy was an exceptional host, and the place was perfect. Jeddy's meticulous style made our stay as easy as could be. He was very helpful, but still knew just how much privacy to give us. I'd definitely recommend trying this rental. The view from the balcony is amazing!"
3561885,28791974,2015-03-30,27317179,Kate,"I stayed with 7 other friends at Jeddy's Manhattan Penthouse for a long weekend in Austin, and we loved the place!  Great location, easy to get around Austin from there, and the view from the balcony was amazing!  Jeddy really takes care in the quality of his guests' experiences, from the stylish apartment decorations, to the well appointed bathrooms with hotel-like amenities, to the incredibly thorough welcome materials.  We had everything we needed in the apartment and we were very comfortable with 8 of us there.  I slept in the master bedroom with the window, and the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home!  Jeddy was very flexible and worked with us to let us check in early, and he touched based periodically during the weekend to make sure we had everything we needed.  He was a great host, very attentive and meticulous.

I would strongly recommend staying at The Penthouse, whether you have 4 or 10 people you'll have a great experience.  This was a perfect place to call home for the weekend.  You won't be disappointed!"
3561885,29288504,2015-04-06,28236831,Simal,"Jeddy welcomed us when we arrived. We didn’t talk long because I hadn’t eaten all day and wanted to get something soon. He did show us where the tea was since I was sick. 
The beds are different than shown on the listing. They are still queen sized beds, but it’s not the same bed frame.
This place is located near UT which offers great views of Austin. 
He had some toothpastes and toothbrushes – since a few of us forgot some toiletries. The CVS is walking distance – near UT, which was very convenient 
Since Jeddy knew we wanted to use the gym, he let us know there was another gym we could go to if the one at the complex didn’t work out. We tried out the gym on our second day and it was like a motel gym. It felt crowded if 2 people were in there and half of the equipment (2 treadmills, an elliptical, and an old style bike) didn’t work and some weights were missing. We don’t blame Jeddy at all, we just wish we knew that before heading out there. But since we didn’t ask Jeddy about the other gym, this was kind of our fault.
Also the gym's treadmills look directly into the pool (glass windows between the pool and gym) – which can be really creepy. Since we didn’t have a car, we ended up walking everywhere or Uber-ing it (for 6th street and Rainey), which was enough of a work out. Though, I would not recommend this place if you plan on using the pool or gym during your stay.
We probably would go back, but I would definitely find out more about this alternative gym. 
"
3561885,30344892,2015-04-20,30851701,Brantlee,"What can I say about Jeddy? He is an incredible host. He was very helpful and accommodated us with an early check in time. He welcomed us with a genuine smile and a firm handshake.  In short, Jeddy is an amazing person who goes above and beyond to make sure his guests feel welcome and taken care of. I would recommend his listing to everyone. I would absolutely rent from him again. He made every thing so nice and pleasant from the jump with his kind and friendly nature. 

The place was insanely nice! We fit 9 people in very comfortably and would have had room for more if we needed it. You simply could not beat the price either. Everything was so enchantingly comfortable, from the amazing sheets and towels to the beautiful view overlooking the city. The location was prime for everything we needed and wanted to do while in Austin. A short and very cheap uber ride got us to downtown and 6th street with no problems at all.  

My friends and I have spent the entire week reliving the memories we made this past weekend and so much thanks goes to Jeddy and his beautiful condo. If I could give him 6 stars, I would. Everything was absolutely perfect and Jeddy was nothing but a delight. If you are searching for a place to stay in Austin, STOP RIGHT NOW! You have found the best you can in a host and in a place. "
3561885,31131744,2015-05-02,908639,Clyde,"Jeddy is awesome and a very hospitable host! We arrived to Austin earlier than expected and Jeddy went out of his way to help prepare the listing for our arrival. He even greeted us at the door and made us feel at home.

The apartment itself was perfect for our needs. There was plenty of room for our team to meet. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms spacious. The balcony offers a great view of the entire downtown area and served as a my primary work area during our stay. WIFI works great. Plenty of amenities.

The location is just enough out of the way to avoid major parking problems, but a close 5 minute Uber ride from any destination in central Austin. 

High marks all the way around.
"
3561885,33302767,2015-05-26,9757739,Trey,"Jeddy was a great host.  He was able to flexible work with me to accommodate me friends and as  we had to arrive and leave at different times, as a result he was able to work with me on a fair price for the nights with fewer guests, and he even left some drinks in the fridge for us to have once we arrived.  Throughout the entire 3 day stay Jeddy, responded to and questions or concerns I had in a timely manner.  

The view was great and the space was perfect.  It can be a bit tight if you have over 6 people but if you are just there for a place to sleep you can easily fit more."
3561885,33474790,2015-05-28,2450589,Andrew,"Jeddy Yuan. The man. The legend. Honestly a fantastic host. I couldn't have asked for anything more. The place was clean, just as described, view was fantastic, and Jeddy helped us find our way in Austin. He was very accommodating, 5 stars.  "
3561885,34868436,2015-06-13,30135151,Patricia,"Great location near University of Texas, the Drag, and public transportation.

Jeddy made it very easy for us to check-in and check out. He even checked on us during our stay to ensure that all was in order with our accommodations and that we were enjoying Austin.

We would definitely like to rent from Jeddy again."
3561885,36250442,2015-06-26,4941358,Reid,My experiance was very pleasent. 
3561885,39324774,2015-07-22,17202879,Tyler,"Beautiful home, beautiful view, and centrally located in Austin. Would definitely stay here again!"
3561885,40021620,2015-07-27,38095818,Eric,"Jeddy was an awesome host. The itinerary had all of the necessary information, which made check-in super easy. When we arrived the penthouse looked exactly like it did in the photos and the location was perfect. We were on the go most of the time, but Jeddy made sure to send a message to make sure things were going well. I would highly recommend Jeddy as a host to other visitors to Austin."
3561885,41106837,2015-08-04,36524064,Richard,"I had a great time in Austin thanks in no small part to Jeddy's place ... it was as-advertised, very convenient to all major Austin locations, and  he provided all info and options necessary. He was also easy to contact when I had a few questions (all answered!) "
3561885,42417657,2015-08-13,4518641,Chris,"Attentive and always ready to answer questions, Jeddy was a great host!  Terrific location - in the center of everything.  Highly recommended!"
3561885,43285511,2015-08-18,4493077,Anders,"Clean place, good location. It is a student's quarter, the standard is great for such, but not top-notch as indicated. Fairly basic furniture, some quite worn.

Only major disappointment was the pool area, which was not very inviting. It pool itself was closed by the health authority on the day we arrived due to poor hygiene - and the fact that drunk students were swimming in it with all clothes on despite this gives an idea of how it is being used by the other tenants in the building."
3561885,43707111,2015-08-21,10995970,Michael,"Teddy's place was great. Really clean and modern, looks just like the pictures and a good location in town."
3561885,43808295,2015-08-22,37033812,Reginald And Kendra,"Beautiful place! We really enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect location, and had awesome amenities! We would definitely stay again. "
3561885,45077347,2015-08-31,19980940,Steven,The apartment was awesome. Just as described in the ad.  Jeddy was there to meet us when we arrived. Some of my buddies arrived before I did and he was very accommodating with the change of timing on the day. The parking for the apartment was in the actual building and everything was very straight forward. We did have 1 issue with someone parking in the spot during the weekend but Jeddy straightened things out right away. Would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. Thanks!
3561885,45913190,2015-09-06,4740628,Mart,"The representation of the apartment makes it look like a high-scale penthouse, but in reality the furniture is more at the IKEA level and some of it is rather worn out. The bedrooms and the view are decent though. I'd recommend this place 2 couples.

The host is very prompt and responsive. We had an issue where the apartment was smelling (something was stuck in the sink) and had a few cleanliness complaints, and we ended up getting a 20% refund. 

This was from a 2x price we paid for a Saturday rental though ($400 instead of $200). Do not assume that the apartment is very fancy based on the high price like we did!

The location is great if you're a local university student. For out-of-town visitors, a car is recommended in Austin."
3561885,47650444,2015-09-21,22335967,Gregory,"We were in town for a football game and this apartment is in a great location to walk to/from the stadium, as well as several bars/restaurants in the neighborhood.  Jeddy was flexible with our check-in time when it became clear we were arriving a little earlier.  

Mostly a student-housing apartment building, it ended up being a very good value on a weekend where all the downtown hotels were pricey.  It's a top floor apt. with a nice outdoor space & view, and there were no noise issues or anything of that nature (we were just obviously the oldest people staying there, lol).

Short cab or Uber ride to Downtown, 6th St., etc.  Parking spot was easy to find and get into/out of."
3561885,48236854,2015-09-24,43791312,Cynthia,"Jeddy was accommodating and allowed us to use the parking space outside of check-in/check-out times. As far as the apartment goes, the balcony and view were wonderful. My only suggestion would be to add some outdoor lighting because we would've liked to have stayed out there past twilight. The sheets and blankets were very, very comfortable. And the location was extremely convenient for getting to the UT campus."
3561885,48804469,2015-09-28,41109961,Kimber,Our stay was great. Great location and great view of downtown and the university. Would definitely stay here again. 
3561885,49921646,2015-10-07,23675903,Michael,"Jeddy is a wonderful  host who goes the extra mile. He met up with me at 12am to make sure  we settled in smoothly. After arriving, i was blown away by the penthouse and it's view.

Tired from my 14 hour driver, the tempurpedic bed was a nice way to get cozy.

If I am ever back in the Austin area, the Penthouse is the place I must be."
3561885,50614627,2015-10-13,1248209,Molly,Jeddy made us feel very welcome by getting us in swift and with no hassle and even stocking the fridge.  His place was as described and is in a very nice part of Austin.  We loved staying there!
3561885,51549687,2015-10-21,28189834,Erin,"Jeddy's listing was totally accurate, and even some special bonus items such as really nice-quality bedding, towels, and toiletries, and a coffee maker. Plenty of space for 4 people, and we could have fit even more as there was additional bedding in the large walk-in closet (along with an air mattress). The balcony was gorgeous and a very relaxing place to hang out. Food trailer court just up the street, and the nearby fraternity/sorority housing was lovely to look at. Can take super cheap Ubers everywhere!! And the food in Austin is amazing...if you're wondering if you should visit for a food crawl, the answer is YES!!! 

My only complaint was about Jeddy's (lack-of) responsiveness. This was only my 2nd Airbnb experience (other in Nashville), so naturally needed to get some info for peace of mind (re: keys, whether our arrival/departure time was OK, etc). I had no response from him between (phone number hidden), so (worst case scenario) I was a little worried we would arrive with no place to go, I'd have let my friends down, and we'd have to book a pricey hotel last-minute. I sent Jeddy our flight times on 3 separate occasions, but he never communicated with us on what time we needed to leave by, so the nice cleaning lady showed up while we were still there, which was a little bit awkward, I felt bad! But she was awesome, so not a big deal :)    Just a little more communication would have been preferred is all. 

All in all, the place was AWESOME, super nice, and we'd 1000% stay here again!"
3561885,52173439,2015-10-26,33827471,Katherine,"We had a wonderful weekend stay here.  We had originally rented a different unit, but ended up with an extra last minute guest.  Jeddy was able to accommodate us on very short notice and move us into a unit that better fit our needs.  This flat is great.  The beds are comfy, the kitchen well appointed, and the terrace has a spectacular view of the Tower, which was especially nice when it lit up orange after the win over K-State.  ;-)

Jeddy is a fantastic host.  He responded quickly to every question we had.  I would definitely recommend staying at this or any his properties.  "
8507456,49539877,2015-10-04,35271743,Isaac,"I stayed at Chelsea's place for the first weekend of   ACL. It was a perfect spot, close to downtown, bus stop down the street and a convenience store that is open late. I stayed there two nights and even though I had taken my vehicle I found it much more convenient to take public transportation . I did not have a chance to meet Chelsea because she was out of town but she did make sure to leave a hand written letter telling me about some of the local places, which was greatly appreciated. I had a great experience and will definitely book again when I am in Austin."
5279595,28180587,2015-03-19,6386865,Sharon,"The home was beautiful, though smaller than the description. Only 2 bathrooms available. The door to the main bathroom was broken, and tough to close/open. Other than that, beautiful neighborhood and just a 10 min cab ride to downtown. Perfect for our SXSW stay!"
5279595,29047517,2015-04-03,11077003,Jeannine,We had the best time ever in Austin! This property is super cool and so close to everything in South Austin! The kids loved having their own house in the back yard! We all wished we could have stayed longer but we had to move on. Thanks for a wonderful experience! :)
5279595,29555165,2015-04-09,2069128,Tone,Was walking distance to amazing shops and restaurants and in a beautiful neighborhood. Great place to stay.
5279595,31940826,2015-05-12,10994934,Teresa,The hosts were extremely great at communicating and offering up suggestions when we needed anything.
5279595,32151041,2015-05-14,17965304,Rannie,"This house/houses are so neat! The property is split into 2 structures with a yard separating the two. I stayed here with a couple of friends (2 of us doubled up in the main house bc there are 2 toilets, and the other stayed in the back house. The property is very clean and comfortable, but most importantly, the location to S. Congress was the super convenient. We had a small hiccup figuring out the keypad to get into the house upon arrival, but help was quickly sent to let us in (turn the deadbolt to the LEFT after entering code, duh) ;)

I would most definitely stay here again."

This location is awesome-so close to everything we were doing (Lake Austin, rainy street, 6th street, food trucks, Barton Springs)- we were in the middle of it all and our drive time was between 5-10 minutes for everything we did. The listing description is exactly as it appears in photos! Bed's were comfortable and Erica was very helpful in helping make our trip perfect. Perfect for quick weekend trip! Thank you Erica for all of your help. "

5279595,35224524,2015-06-16,6073688,Brandy,Great beautiful place to stay.   Very worth the price.  We had a great time. 
5279595,35481433,2015-06-19,388860,Katie,i have rened from turnkey twice now and it always goes smoothly.  this property was located in a perfect location for us.  there was a snafu with the reservation (for some reason my middle name was listed as my last name) but as always - any issues were quickly and professionally resolved.  we will use turnkey in the future.
5279595,36299490,2015-06-27,9943646,Kari,"Enjoyed staying in this eclectic and funky home.  It was a quick trip into downtown and other locations in Austin were easy to get to. The management agency was quick to respond to issues, which was fantastic.  Beds were comfortable and the location is fairly quiet. "
5279595,36536935,2015-06-29,32777784,Jacob,The house was ready for us and we felt very welcome. The neighborhood was nice and easy walking distance from Peter Pan Golf and Torchys Tacos. A little difficult to walk to downtown Austin from this location. 
5279595,36943545,2015-07-03,25438575,Seth,We loved this place. It was very clean and within walking distance of our meetings. We loved having a cool place to hang out at. It had plenty of space for my kids to play.
5279595,39838823,2015-07-26,38360780,Bojan,"Nice little house, cool space, extremely well air-conditioned for the Austin heat. Would definitely come back."
5279595,41086122,2015-08-04,7606845,Kyle,"The home was everything is said it was and nothing it wasn't.  Very clean and in good shape.  It's a funky layout considering that it's two unattached units, but that's perfect for if you're looking for a bit of privacy at times.  Front and back yards are good places to hang outside.  The neighborhood felt very safe and quiet and easily walkable or uberable to nearby spots."
5279595,41952738,2015-08-10,33461164,Ric,"We certainly enjoyed our stay in Austin. The B&B was ideally located for our visit. The shops of South Congress are just a half mile away, restaurants and food trucks are closer than that. And the river is about a mile down the road. Also the house was clean and welcoming when we arrived. There is plenty of room for a family of four. The only sticking points are very minor: the 10 digit code for the door lock is ridiculous, and we would have preferred just a few more kitchen amenities. Of course the near by food trucks almost negate the need for a kitchen. Lastly, after arriving the host/rental company became largely unreachable. "
5279595,42437532,2015-08-13,25017424,Evan,"The listing was exactly as described.  Everything from soap, towels, cups, and even coffee was available for us to use.  There was even a washer and dryer to do laundry.  The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing.  I called about the air conditioning vent and they responded quickly by bringing fans because it was too late for the handyman to come but they had it fixed the next day while we were out.  Great location.  Would stay here again."
5279595,43051356,2015-08-17,35462142,Tanner,"We loved it, perfect location and really led to a lot of interacting with one another, as it's mostly open space. Very nice place!"
5279595,44104849,2015-08-24,4255269,Massimo,We visited Austin for a gathering of old friends. The house was clean and a perfect size for a group of 5. The center courtyard made for a great place to hang out and catch up in the evening. Best of all there is a Torchy's Tacos a few block away for a convenient breakfast in the morning. I would highly recommend this house. 
5279595,46935204,2015-09-14,16025929,Mb,"Very easy communication, great access -- and clean, well-remodeled, and perfectly situated! "

5279595,49202332,2015-10-02,1488452,Dawn,"This was the perfect place for our family.  My husband and I stayed in the front unit and our grown children stayed in the back.  Each unit has an open plan (there are no bedroom doors)--something to keep in mind if you are really planning to sleep 8 people (do-able with the couches and loft bed).  We very much enjoyed sitting in the yard between the two places--drinking our coffee each morning underneath the live oak tree.  The property was clean and (thank goodness) the air conditioners worked great.  The property is managed by TurnKey Rentals, and this is the second time I have rented from them.  They are very responsive to requests and offer early check-in and late check-out when possible.  We would definitely stay there again.  "
4092417,21752081,2014-10-23,483499,Martine,"WOW!

I could not have asked for a better host!! Adan is DA BEST! I miss him already! I would live with him full time if we lived in the same city!

The room is excellent, extremely comfortable bed, great AC, the apartment is super clean and laid back, and also, it's a gated community right on the beautiful Colorado River and the boardwalk, with a beautiful pool and gym on the premises. 

If you're visiting Austin you should definitely stay with Adan! "
4092417,22114408,2014-10-30,16955631,Andrew,Adan was a great host. I didn't know many people in Austin so he even invited me to go out with he and his friends on the weekend. Apartment is as described; good value for the price.
4092417,22618102,2014-11-10,1160406,Josh,"Adan was great, showed me everything around the apartment and how to get around the city. Location was great and the space itself was clean, comfortable, and well taken care of."

Adan and his friends were really nice and helpful, answering all our questions regarding Austin and sharing their tips!"
4092417,25894170,2015-01-28,17847076,Alicia,"Adan is such a wonderful host! He welcomed us in, gave us a huge, clean room with clean towels folded and ready for us to use. Adan is super sweet and gave his time to hang out with us. He had a friend staying with him who was also just as wonderful a host -- he was friendly and even gave us a ride to the airport and refused to take gas money. The location was fantastic as well -- we had an amazing morning walk down the boardwalk along the Colorado River into the city. 100% awesome on all accounts! We hope to be back!!"
4092417,26750767,2015-02-18,9688867,Ambarish,"Adan was welcoming and accommodating during my brief stay at his place. We chatted briefly the first evening I was in Austin and he made me feel welcome. Although I was out at a conference during the whole day for the next couple of days, he made sure I had towels and other supplies required. The house was clean, quiet and the mattress and bathroom were clean as well. The apartment is in a gated community, so that was a positive for parking my car. The place is also very close to all the downtown Austin attractions. "
4092417,27612543,2015-03-08,24098482,Jan Henrik,"I had a great time staying at Adan's place in Austin. Room, bathroom and the whole apartment were clean and comfortable. I only briefly met Adan and his friend Tony who was also staying at the apartment. Both were very welcoming and very helpful with providing great Austin insider tips.  The location of the apt is simply amazing, right next to the Colorado river and the boardwalks - very nice for jogging. I usually just walked the short 15-20 minutes downtown, but there were also bus stops nearby. "
4092417,27851875,2015-03-13,8223775,Merlin,"My host made me feel very welcome as he gave me the codes to get into the building, which was very trusting of him. The room was in perfect order when I arrived and his roommate was also friendly. I would definitely stay here again."
4092417,28744901,2015-03-29,29453594,Jeff,Tony was very friendly and I enjoyed chatting with him about things to do in Austin. The apartment is nice and the pictures are accurate. Felt like a safe community and neighborhood.
4092417,29198474,2015-04-05,29058838,Ping,"It was a nice stay with Adan. He's very easy going and provided some suggestions for where to go. His place is clean and very central. You can walk to DT in about 15-30 mins. If you don't want to walk, bus stop is just outside the building. Public transit is super easy and cheap. "
4092417,29969124,2015-04-15,10112433,Jody,"The perfect place to stay during my week in Austin. The apartment is right next to the Colorado River, and great for jogging for long or short distances, the pool and gym were perfect to use during my stay. It’s about 15-30 minute walk to downtown; however I did that walk only once. I usually took the 7 or 20 bus (get week bus pass for $13 at H-E-B grocery store). Tony and Adan were very helpful finding the best way to get around, or tips on where and what to do in Austin. The room was neat and comfortable, I slept very well! I will recommend the AirBnB to any of my close friends. "
4092417,30210362,2015-04-19,18201894,Alli,"We had a fantastic time during our Austin stay. Adan and Tony were great. They were very accommodating (our flight got in at 9am and they let us check in WAYYY earlier than the usual 2pm check in time). Very friendly and helpful, and I'd definitely stay with them again. "
4092417,30318771,2015-04-20,29759894,Kristine,"Adan was very prompt and helpful in answering any questions we had.  Very friendly.  Location was good, right adjacent to Boardwalk. Less than a mile to the Bat Bridge.  

Young people would especially enjoy Adan and his friends.  We were there only a brief time. Being older, would appreciate a little more privacy.  

Clean !"
4092417,30929151,2015-04-29,15207397,Brigitta & Julia,"Adan was such a wonderful host. He did welcome us and showed us around.
The apartment is beautifully located right next to the river. It is a 30 minute walk along the river to reach the city center. 
There is really nothing negativ to mention, it was just perfect!"
4092417,31386444,2015-05-04,31021466,Dana,"It was just what we needed! Great location, quiet space to sleep and rest for a short trip. The host was really nice and very accommodating! "
4092417,31616837,2015-05-07,32447545,Keith,"Visiting the city of Austin for our fist time, Adan and Tony were both great and friendly host. We arrived pretty late the first night and they were able to work with us which made us feel very welcome. They had maps and ideas of places to explore the city which helped a lot to organize our day. Great location with a perfect view of the city from the river walk. Easy access to downtown. The room was very clean and good comfortable space. We had a lot of fun in Austin and it would not have been as easy with out Adan and Tony. "
4092417,32372725,2015-05-17,27972875,Leyla,"Myself & my boyfriend had a lovely time staying with Adan.  We were able to check in early, & all of Adan's directions to the apartment & finding the correct unit were spot on - I was able to figure it out immediately even after walking into the complex from the back.  About a 40 minute walk to downtime via the river, where there's great fun watching the turtles, fish, birds, & nutria.  We did not get to talk to Adan much...but we spent most of the time exploring Austin.  Beds were comfy & cleanly made up, we found everything we needed, & the apartment was clean & very welcoming.  Adan was a lovely host - thank you!"
4092417,32794942,2015-05-21,2791915,My,"Overall, we find Adan's place clean and comfortable. Adan's place is a great fit for family travelers since there are two beds in the room. Most major attractions around downtown Austin such as State Capitol & famous 6th street are just about 5-10 mins drive. From the start, Adan gave us very clear instructions on how to get to his apartment. It was very easy to find his place and the check-in process was a breeze. Adan was friendly and helpful on recommending us some places to visit in Austin. Overall, we had a great Airbnb experience at Adan's place. Would definitely recommended to others! "
4092417,33229198,2015-05-26,5295677,Rose,"Adan was the perfect host! We immediately felt right at home. His apartment was incredibly clean and organized and he had no problem with us using the kitchen. He helped us figure out where to go when we wanted to go out, and he texted us to warn about bad weather! The river walk that his apartment is on is also very beautiful, we really enjoyed it. Overall, we felt the location of his apartment was great too because we were central to everything we wanted to see. "
4092417,33937083,2015-06-02,32992655,David,The apartment was exactly as represented in the ad. Host was easy to get along with.
4092417,34648801,2015-06-10,6929608,Matthew,"Adan was very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about things to do in Austin. His apartment is in a nice area. Would stay again."
4092417,34873301,2015-06-13,32958531,Suvi,"Adan was very flexible with our check-in. He has a simple, clean and quiet apartment at a very convenient location with a lovely view of the lake."
4092417,34991652,2015-06-14,33844167,Samuel,Great experience.  Very satisfied
4092417,35654247,2015-06-21,27560383,Bernabe,"Adan was fantastic! He was very accommodating and the environment was a safe space. The neighborhood is probably unbeatable - right next to the boardwalk, food trucks, and not too far away from downtown is right. I was coming and going at pretty much all hours of the day and whenever Adan was in we always had time to chill out and have some great conversations. Definitely recommended as a host for the future!"
4092417,36707232,2015-06-30,35238083,Shawn,"A finite number of stars could not properly convey the level of attention and service Adan offers his guests! His apartment is immaculate, the room he offers is so well represented, and his welcoming atmosphere is infectious from the second you walk through his door! Adan has a wealth of knowledge of Austin and was more than happy to offer a few recommendations--and to direct me to the best places to get the full experience!! 

I've had few experiences where I can say I made fast friends with a total stranger but, this is easily one of those times. Adan is perfectly suited for a medium like AirBnB, not just because he has nice accommodations in a great location, but because he is by far the most welcoming of any traveller to a new city! Again, I'd give Adan 5 stars because that's the highest I can give--he really deserves more!! "
4092417,38154470,2015-07-13,35563751,Jessica,Had a great first time in Austin! Adan was very nice and welcoming. 
4092417,38268926,2015-07-14,774318,Jennifer And Brian,"We had a 24 hour layover in Austin and this was the place to spend it. Adan communicated very fast before our arrival, met us and took us down to the river walk and gave us suggestions of where to walk and eat . 
He literally lives steps from the river walk and we walked into downtown. He is the perfect host - we really felt like he was looking after us and we would return and recommend him to our friends. The room was everything you see in the photos , The bed was comfy, room was clean and air conditioning was on high! Thanks"
4092417,39552342,2015-07-24,4385278,Tolu,"I had an awesome experience staying here. Adan was wonderful right from the first time I stepped in, super friendly and there to help. His place is very nice, close to the heart of the city and clean. I highly recommend this place."
4092417,39998485,2015-07-27,38013463,Julie,Adan was welcoming and very friendly and loved talking. I'd totally book with him again :)
4092417,41149722,2015-08-04,11504209,Marc,"Adan was an excellent host. He made travelling alone a very memorable experience. When I first arrvied to Adan's apartment, he greeted me and showed me the way to a great time in Austin. He made suggestions as to where to eat, sight see and party in Austin. He was very friendly and even invited me to join him for breakfast after I had a long night out. The location for Adan's apartment is close to Downtown Austin and public transportation is easy to use and stops right outside his place. I look forward to staying here again. "
4092417,41462918,2015-08-07,39264603,Steve,Adan was an exceptional host. Very polite and accommodating. He made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend him for anyone looking to have a good time in Austin.
4092417,43401963,2015-08-19,20228472,Dale,Excellent experience - Adan was super friendly and helpful. Place is in a great location for the boardwalk and was handy having a pool. I both walked and bused into town. All straight fwd with both. 
4092417,44154648,2015-08-24,38333735,Dee,"Adan was charming and lovely. His apartment was as neat as a pin, and he went out of his way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The bed I slept in was really comfortable, the bathroom was well appointed and clean. We enjoyed breakfast tacos together and he graciously dropped me off on South Congress so that I could wander around. He's a sweetheart and his place is located in a really convenient part of town! Note - his place is on the second story of a walk-up (for those traveling with luggage, you will need to climb up a couple flights of outdoor stairs, but he kindly carried my stuff down!)"
4092417,44856311,2015-08-29,41060287,Tyler,"Adan was exceptional for my first airbnb experience. Everything was as nice as described or even better, and an interesting guy to talk to if you want some conversation"
4092417,47675039,2015-09-21,24007483,Shannon,"Adan was great! As soon as I got there, he showed me the lay of the land. His place is the perfect location for walking, biking and seeing the sites of Austin. 

I look forward to staying again."
4092417,48698264,2015-09-28,38853150,Laura,"Spent my first week here after moving to Austin and it was a stellar experience! Adan was so great about giving us advice about the area and fun places to check out. The room was great and the location was awesome--right on the river, super close to downtown and South Austin. Great experience!"
4092417,49643043,2015-10-05,27286001,Nikki,"Adan was amazing!  His home was so welcoming, feels like home"
4092417,50182622,2015-10-10,29652226,Gordon,"I really enjoyed staying with Adan. He is a great host and his apartment is very comfortable and in a really great location. There is ample secure parking, a nice gym and pool and it took me a 25 - 30 mins pleasant stroll on the boardwalk to get to downtown. An Uber into town was only about 5$. I had a great time and can highly recommend Adan and his apartment."
4092417,51126449,2015-10-18,39851797,Kassandra,"Adan and I clicked from the start.  He made me feel welcome even before we arrived!  He was quick to respond and made sure I had all the lodging info we needed well before we arrived.  And, upon our arrival, it felt as if we were staying with old friends, and not someone we'd just met.  Additionally, our room was cozy and comfy, with plenty of space for my friend and me.
This was an amazingly stellar first Airbnb experience!  I definitely plan to return to Austin in the future and would love to stay with Adan again!"
4092417,52044642,2015-10-26,35158968,Sarah,"Adan's place was exactly what I needed during my week long stay in Austin. Adan contacted me a couple of times before checking in to make sure I had any information/help that I needed. He was very flexible with my check in and check out times. I wasn't in the apartment very much since I worked from 9-5 and did some sightseeing at night, but when Adan and I did run into each other we had a glass of wine and chatted. He's a really nice guy!

The room was just as he described: big, with closet space, 2 comfy beds and clean towels for our use. There are also a few really helpful maps on the wall. The entire apartment was extremely clean. There were some pretty great features that I didn't even have time to use including a pool, gym, laundry, parking, access to the boardwalk and nearby boat renal. The location is ideal for anyone who wants to go downtown as there is a bus stop right outside the apartment complex. My commute to my office on 6th street was short and convenient. 

I would highly recommend this listing to any friends visiting Austin, and would definitely stay again! Thanks, Adan!!"
8590446,49553368,2015-10-04,45310510,Douglas,Very clean and cute place. Made stay as much as home as possible. Very close to all that Austin has to offer. No complaints what so ever
8590446,50374090,2015-10-11,35020381,Bruce,"Aubre was very communicative, and her place was very clean and quaint."
8590446,51192659,2015-10-18,2315518,Christopher,"Aubre's place was delightfully as advertised. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood but only a $6 Uber ride downtown. The apartment itself is clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. Aubre accomodated my late arrival and made me feel very welcome. Calvin the cat was a total charmer (without being needy, a rare feat for a friendly cat). I would stay here again without the slightest hesitation."
8590446,52618118,2015-10-31,624905,Elisabeth,"Aubrey's place is adorable! I felt right at home, and loved every minute of staying here. It was clean and bright, and very comfortable. She's got a great sense of shabby chic/vintage style, which I absolutely loved. 

The bed was very comfortable, which made for a heavenly morning when there were thunderstorms! 

I didn't explore West Campus very much, but it was a 10 minute Uber ride to downtown, where most of my activities were. Very easy pick up, and the neighborhood felt very safe and residential. Most of the other homes were houses, as opposed to a lot of apartment buildings. 

Aubre was a great host, and I would definitely recommend staying there. I'd like to stay again sometime! 

Oh, and CALVIN THE CAT: He was waiting for me at the door when I arrived, and we were immediately best friends. As an animal lover and owner, having him cuddle me was part of what made it feel like home! 

And just FYI, his litterbox is outside, so you don't have to worry about any smells. Great place all around! "
8590446,52776426,2015-11-01,6563817,Greg,Aubre's place was great! Very modern and close to downtown. I would definitely recommend it to future guests. 
8310170,46569669,2015-09-11,19852503,Nikki,"The apartment is very clean, comfortable, close to everything. Even though I had a car I used Uber to get downtown most nights.  

And the mattress… such a comfortable mattress. He told me in the email exchange prior he gets complimented on it, and I am so glad I trusted him. I will stay again next time I am in Austin. 

Awesome host. Brian is smart and very responsive! Thank you for going above and beyond!!"
8310170,47866961,2015-09-21,44048365,Gale,"We had an amazing time during our stay at Brian's rental! Most of it was due to Brian! Admittedly, he was running a tad late for check-in as we were his first guest in this property, but he more than made up for it by being such a gracious and attentive host. And by having a special treat waiting for us when we arrived. Not only that, we ended up hanging out one night with him and his girlfriend. First to have bites at a tapas bar he recommended, then on Sixth St. He introduced us to his contacts and we went on a bar tour and pretty much stayed out until the following morning. Great host and now a great friend! 

The apartment is what it seems. We had minor suggestions for Brian but overall my sisters and I had a wonderfully fun and memorable visit! Mostly due to Brian, his recommendations and his contacts. Would Definitely stay here again!"
3570268,45024093,2015-08-30,42400746,Mayuri,"Best people anyone can meet. Bethany and her family members are super cool , friendly, helping  and their house is really beautiful it felt like home. The places recommended by Bethany were too good and so was  food .We would definitely visit Austin once again. It was a wonderful experience with wonderful people :)"
3570268,45754757,2015-09-05,43133567,Kaushik,"clean bed, nice hosts, very accessible to downtown yet in a greener area."
3570268,46328092,2015-09-09,42729583,Becca,"We immediately felt so welcome! We all chatted for a bit before settling in, very easy and comfortable atmosphere. Easy peasy commutes everywhere, we never seemed to find the traffic that most cities host. Great location and such a cute and cozy house. The bed was a luscious dream cloud, and there was even a fan for those of us preferring ""white noise"" when sleeping. Great people capable of great conversation, it really was a treat to wind up with Bethany and her family.  "
3570268,47901482,2015-09-21,31291900,Edu,Very clean comfortable house. Everything was very new and modern inside. Very good bed and shower. And the hosts were super friendly!
3570268,49791075,2015-10-06,42055843,Cristobal,"This was my first Airbnb experience and Bethany made it a very good and pleasant experience. Bethany was a great host! the house was very nice and in a great location, Bethany was very welcoming and recommended us some great places to go and visit in Austin, I would definitely recommend staying with her"
3570268,50191621,2015-10-10,16688111,Pamela,"Nice little house to share with Bethany, her husband, her sister in law, and her dog. Bethany had great food suggestions and there was a really good coffee shop just across the street and a nice tea shop a block away."
3570268,50457848,2015-10-12,24480220,Laurence,Comfortable bed in a charming and clean house.The neighborhood is nice and quiet and within a short cab or Uber ride to downtown. Using B-Cycle is also a great way to get around town. Bethany was very welcoming and gave us great advice!  The next door coffee shop is also very convenient and delicious! 
3570268,51240429,2015-10-18,42949314,Ainsley,"What a gem! The space was great and Bethany was a very  welcoming host.  You are a walk to downtown, but there are some very cool spots to see in the area as you make your way around town. "
3570268,52179227,2015-10-26,33537794,Jamie,"Verdict: A great spot for exploring Austin.
Pros: Friendly and welcoming hosts; clean house; very comfy bed; and close to heaps of the cool stuff.
Cons: None really. Unless you don't like small funny dogs.

I arrived on the modest street unsure what to expect and was welcomed by the lovely Bethany.  The room was great and the house charming.  Just what was promised. The area also has lots of places worth seeing, bars, food, and the river, and is a quick drive/uber/bus to the city.  And the hosts gave me heaps of tips on where to go. 

The house is cozy and it worked well for me for the weekend.  I could have stayed longer, without a worry.  "
2213322,28393857,2015-03-23,4129954,Peter,"Everything was great, and exactly as described. I would not hesitate to rent from Amy again, and I would enthusiastically recommend her to others looking for a great place in Austin!"
7727328,42786873,2015-08-15,40716236,Laura,"Excellent location! Walking distance to the main bar strip on 6th. I preferred the bars/restaurants right next to the house on West 6th. The house was great. Super comfy beds. Cool outdoor area with hammock. Overall great experience. Thanks, Roland!"
7727328,43339928,2015-08-18,19508654,Jianqi,This is the best place I have never lived. So nice the place is. All equipments are so nice especially the TV. I hope I will have such house! 
7727328,43685942,2015-08-21,40715942,Kasey,"My experience with Roland's home was great. Everything was as listed and an even better experience than I could have imagined. The home is very nice and well furnished. The location was also perfect for being able to get around downtown Austin easily whether that be by walking/Uber/Lift. The area that the house is located is also a very quiet location, especially during the night, which is great if you are wanting to experience downtown Austin but also be able to separate yourself from the crazy atmosphere to relax. Roland was always super easy to get a hold of if I had questions and replied very quickly which helped to make the experience very pleasant and memorable. "
7727328,43856827,2015-08-22,1329235,Rob,"The listing was excellent - great location, very clean, and very well outfitted.  We were only there for one night but it would be great for longer stays.  Roland communicated well throughout.  "
7727328,45000506,2015-08-30,12698281,Yong,"A welcoming host and nice digs. Roland's place is a great choice for a stay in Austin. Essentials are a stone's throw away, and much of Austin is within walking distance; what isn't can be easily reached by car from this great location. Clean and comfortable, the listing is quite accurate. Roland's place was just right for enjoying Austin in our low-key style. I would definitely stay here again."
7727328,45990032,2015-09-07,39156104,Tasha,"Having never been to Austin I had to rely on friends to guide me to an area to stay in.  I have to say, I don't think I could've been luckier! Roland was an amazing host.  You walk down the alley and Whole Foods is right there.  Not just that, but a 24 hour (spectacular) diner and 6th St.  The bars are right there! 

Roland's place is great, soft sheets, up-to-date w/keyless entry, beer in the fridge, natural shampoo and conditioner in the shower, giant television's in the master and living, a hammock out back for goodness sakes! Oh, and Jenga ;) Don't miss out on this place, the photos don't do it justice! 

Also, don't miss out on your hosts knowledge of the area.  Without Roland, I'd have never had a Burnt Marshmallow Milkshake (Liberty Kitchen).  I can't lie, I had two...they were life changing.  "
7727328,47071121,2015-09-15,8798045,Trevor,"Roland's place is amazing. It's gorgeous, extremely comfortable and has every amenity you could possibly ask for. Roland is a great guy, quickly responds to any requests, and overall does anything possible to make your stay perfect. Honestly, this is the best airbnb that I've ever stayed at. Not only is the place amazing, but it's also in just about the perfect location: short walk to west side downtown area and right next to the most amazing Whole Foods you could ever possibly imagine. I selfishly didn't want to write this review because I feel as though I'm letting people in on an amazing, secret spot. I travel to Austin regularly for work and will absolutely be attempting to re-book this in the future."
7727328,47703425,2015-09-21,7402941,Mirko,"Roland's Apartment is gorgeous, very clean and modern. all you Need is very close. Only 15 min to Walk for the Center of 6th Street And just on the other side of the street is a very good 24h dinner. It's a good place to stay for one day or one months. Roland is very friendly and is answering fast."
7727328,48546388,2015-09-27,9617751,Sarah,Great location and space. Beds were extremely comfortable. Nice amenities and bathroom was clean and stocked with very nice products. House was clean and quiet. Wireless and parking pass were perks. No complaints!

7727328,52071797,2015-10-26,39446687,Mike,This place sits in a great location very near the center of downtown Austin and a very short trip to some local shops. The place itself is lovely - very clean and a nice layout with great amenities. Roland communicated perfectly and arrival and check out were seamless - It's best place we've stayed in Austin.. definitely would recommend.
7727328,52744751,2015-11-01,7801097,Deanna,"Roland was great! He communicated early and was very helpful. His apartment is one of the nicest Airbnb's I have stayed in. It is clean, spacious, comfortable and close to everything. I would definitely stay here again!"
431722,2747635,2012-10-29,3667487,Melissa,"We had a very enjoyable time at Brenda's home.  Brenda was there to greet us when we arrived and she gave us several ideas for things to see and do during our stay, including the Enchanted Rock in the Hill Country. 

If you are visiting Austin for one of the big outdoor events that take place in Zilker Park, like ACL, or if you like running/jogging/biking or just want to take a leisurely evening stroll then this is the absolutely perfect place to stay because you are within easy walking distance of the park.

The cabin is the lower level of Brenda's home with its own separate entrance and a private cozy patio surrounded by trees just off of the living room.  It has beautiful art work on the walls, comfy beds and a fully equipped kitchen for preparing your own meals.  But if you don't feel like cooking there are also plenty of great restaurants within walking distance too!"
431722,3194755,2012-12-31,475204,Candice,"My friends and I had such a nice time renting out this property. First its in a gorgeous location, right across from the park, and very quiet. We all were very comfortable and there was enough room for us all. Hope to stay here again!"
431722,3254427,2013-01-03,1512925,Ian,"excellent apartment exactly as described. very clean and comfortable. the host had great communication before and during our stay and lives above the apartment in case there are any issues, which there weren't for us. the location of the apartments brilliant with easy access to Many of the best places in Austin whether by car, bus, bike or walking. would stay again during future visits."
431722,3660575,2013-03-01,4816331,Melissa,"Brenda was wonderful to deal with, the location is perfect for Zilker Park access, and the place is cozy yet roomy. I would definitely recommend it to a friend visiting Austin but not looking for the downtown feel. The only caveat is that there is little sound insulation between the upstairs house and the downstairs (rentable) house. "
431722,4368136,2013-04-30,5951423,Terrie,"We enjoyed our stay at Brenda's ""Cabin"". It is in a wonderful location... as stated... close to just about everything. She provided a binder filled with useful information. The cabin was clean, fresh, and tastefully decorated. Brenda kept a low profile though she was available if we needed information, directions, or suggestions.  We especially enjoyed her suggestions and contact prior to our arrival for assistance with directions to the cabin and the walking/biking trails available literally across the street. Will definitely arrange accommodations the next visit to Austin."
431722,18727409,2014-08-31,16638566,Josh,"Brenda was a great host.  We really loved the ""cabin"" and it's great location.  The extra bedroom was great for storage and the master bedroom was very large.  We enjoyed the patios and being across the street from the park was awesome.
The kitchen was more than adequate with a gas stove-top and large new refrigerator.  The dishwasher was the most quiet dishwasher I've ever heard (or not heard i should say).  The patio is underneath Brenda's house but we barely heard them.  There was more than enough parking with a carport space and also another space for any guests or multiple cars you are traveling with.  We would definitely stay with Brenda again.
Location perks:
--barton springs pool across the street (1/4 mile away)
--South Lamar Alamo 1 mile away (you can walk it if you want, go see a movie)
--Free yoga across the street in the park (Brenda was nice enough to invite my girlfriend to join her)
--Chuy's a short walk away

431722,19166054,2014-09-07,19469749,Cen,The apartment was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The location is excellent for visiting the pool and downtown Austin. We really like the atmosphere of the nearby restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
431722,20243905,2014-09-26,2491500,Shelagh,"The house is very nice and comfortable, spacious and within easy walking distance of south Austin spots. Brenda is a good host."
431722,22650191,2014-11-11,21398890,Alex,"Brenda was a lovely host and the cabin was very clean, comfortable, and spacious and in a great location, across the street from the park, lots of places to eat within walking distance, and close to downtown Austin. would love to stay again!!"
431722,23341280,2014-11-29,16497155,Tamara,"Great location for recreational fun in Austin! A bit of road noise but that's expected for the benefit of being near a ""go to"" zilker park.  Canoe rental & bike rental walking distance. Condo was Clean, spacious and just what I was looking for!"
431722,30799206,2015-04-27,2831137,Peter,Place and location were great!  Would definitely go again 
431722,32152813,2015-05-14,378318,Alexandra And Allan,"Across the street from Barton Springs! Well appointed, comfortable and extremely clean. Brenda calmly handled a mix-up on my end concerning my arrival date and it was a glitch free last minute business trip made easier by the premier location. I didn't get to go swimming in Barton Springs because of the insane rain but the back entrance is a two minute walk and you can also hook up with the running and walking trails and the park directly across the street.  Recommended! "
431722,37621725,2015-07-08,2703877,Grace,"Brenda was great.  She fed me breakfast, gave great directions, and even drove me around.  The neighborhood was extremely convenient to my favorite places in Austin, most walkable.  The apartment was pretty and very clean."
431722,48628269,2015-09-27,17329392,Robin,"Brenda's cabin was extremely clean, comfortable and cozy. It's a fantastic location close to Barton Springs, Zilker Park and surrounding restaurants. The 3 nice patios are perfect to sit outside for morning coffee or evening wine and cheese. I'd definitely recommend this place and would stay again."
431722,52049702,2015-10-26,39752460,Andrew,"The house was in a really nice part of Austin sat among a woodland setting with the Barton Springs outdoor swimming lake/pool right across the street.  The house was as described with everything we needed.  It was clean and suited our needs exactly.  Brenda and her daughter welcomed us when we arrived and were very helpful with any questions we had.  Would love to rent from Brenda again, hopefully we can make the F1 again next year."
6737449,37228041,2015-07-05,21805131,Jeff,Perfect place to stay. Would recommend to anyone. 
7717113,43310635,2015-08-18,3714013,Bruce,"Dawn's home is a short 20 - 25 drive to Downtown. Her home is nestled in a well established neighborhood that you immediately feel as if you are in the Texas hill country. Scenic, peaceful, low to no traffic. Her backyard to say it is spacious is putting it lightly. There was plenty of room for my dog to roam. Most evenings I took advantage of some downtime enjoying a cold one in her backyard. My room cozy, the bed comfortable, as is the main house. I was given free rein to use the kitchen to cook meals, washer and dryer to launder clothes, and parking was curbside out front. I was a quest in her home more than 25 consecutive days, and will certainly do it all over again. Dawn is pleasant, and engaging as we had a few sit down conversations about the old and new Austin. An authentic pleasure being your guest. Thanks so much. "
7717113,46341718,2015-09-09,42575437,Peter,"My week in Austin was an easy transition thanks to Dawn and her wonderful hospitality. Although we didn't see each other often, Dawn made sure to make me feel welcome and at home. This private room in a quite neighborhood made my stay exactly what I was looking for and what was advertised. 
If I ever need a place to stay in S. Austin again, I will make sure to see if Dawn has an opening in her wonderful home. "
5456,865,2009-03-08,5267,Ellen,"Sylvia is a hostess who is gracious and helpful beyond words! First of all, she wanted to know about our plans and answered all of the questions we had about the city via email before we arrived. She picked us up from the airport and had a handful of maps and magazines about Austin. Her guest house is spotless, adorably decorated, and complete from soap to movies. The neighborhood is charming, and walking distance to cool spots. (We lucked out because her schedule allowed her to show us around the city.) 5 Texas stars!"
5456,977,2009-03-19,8102,Phil,Highly recommended. Sylvia was extremely helpful and friendly and made our holiday as easy as it could be. The apartment was wonderfully quiet but also only a few minutes' walk to Austin Convention Center.
5456,1039,2009-03-22,8241,Galen,A great place to stay in a great city. Sylvia picked me up at the airport and drove me to Whole Foods so I could buy groceries. She also took me to my first Texas bar-b-que. I saved a ton of money because I didn't have to cab downtown; I could easily walk. The apartment is clean and the bed very comfortable. This place is a lot better than a hotel. 
5456,1347,2009-04-08,11152,April,"Highly recommended! 
Cute and cozy guest house !

Thanks Sylvia!!"
5456,1491,2009-04-13,12400,Ivonne,"What a great little apartment!  It was clean, in a good location and had everything I needed.  It was nice not having to spend money on eating out so much b/c there's a refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker and toaster.  Sylvia was extremely kind and very generous - offering to pick us up from the airport.  I really enjoyed my stay and recommend Sylvia's place highly!"
5456,1535,2009-04-16,11071,Egan.Sturges.Regan,"Sylvia was great; ""ditto"" to all the previous review. She is gracious and generous, with plenty of suggestions of activities, and let my daughter garden with her. The place is clean, quaint, and simple. If we visit Austin again, we'll certainly see if Sylvia's place is available! "
5456,1663,2009-04-20,11134,Lizzie,"Sylvia and her cute apartment we absolutely wonderful!  She was the perfect host -accommodating and helpful without being the least bit intrusive.   The place was cozy and clean and the perfect size for two of us with room to spare.  The location was perfect, accessible to downtown on foot (we also rented bikes and could get everywhere we wanted easily).  We'll definitely come back, and recommend the place to anyone!"
5456,1785,2009-04-26,10844,Kristen,"Sylvia is the best! Her guest house was charming, clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We loved her animals and her big heart. This lady loves Austin and wants others to experience it to the utmost. Silvia picked us up at the airport, showed us around the city a bit,  and accomodated us beyond the normal scope of hostess. I've already recommended her place to several of my friends. Hopefully, I too will be able to visit Austin and Sylvia again!"
5456,2287,2009-05-11,15341,Chris,"Sylvia is great person and great host. She picked my girlfriend and me up at the airport, showed us around Austin, told us about good places to hang out, and even let us ride along with her to San Antonio for a day trip. She went above and beyond the call of duty to make our long weekend in Austin very enjoyable."
5456,2855,2009-05-19,16288,Jane,She's a special woman and our stay was wonderful because of her.  She was our friend from the moment we met her.
5456,2991,2009-05-23,11457,John,"We had a wonderful stay at Sylvia's.  We found her to be a congenial and helpful host, and appreciated the way she bent over backward to accommodate us.  The apartment was cozy and clean, and yes, you really can walk to 6th St!  We will be recommending Sylvia's to any friends that wander down to Austin."
5456,3415,2009-06-01,12894,David,"Sylvia's studio is beautiful, and she was really lovely and helpful. It's a pretty location, and it is an easy walk to 6th street."
5456,4015,2009-06-14,19512,Roger,Sylvia was a great host. The location worked well and was a quiet area. I walked to town and was no problem at all. Thanks a lot for a nice weekend.

5456,5440,2009-07-12,18328,Jeremy,"Sylvia was a wonderful host. She really made sure my friend and I felt totally comfortable and well taken care of.

The studio apartment is lovely. It's close enough to walk to the centre of town (10-15 minutes), but enough of a distance to be away from the noise and have some peace and quiet.

Everything is very clean, it has good wireless internet, and she makes sure you have everything you need for your stay."
5456,5780,2009-07-19,22475,Keisha,"Great place! Can't say enough good things about this little treasure. Clean, cozy, an absolute perfect little place to relax and enjoy Austin! Sylvia is a wonderful host who had the place ready for a wonderful stay! Thanks a million!"

5456,6332,2009-07-29,24869,Yann,"Pros: Great host, great place, great location.

Will definitely be back. Thank you Sylvia."

5456,7772,2009-08-19,29268,Luis,"Sylvia's place is great because it's quite, independent, charming and close to downtown and airport. As a person, Sylvia is more than a hostess. She is so friendly and if you are not get used to Austin, she is very helpful. Besides, she took us to Barton Springs for an amazing swimming night!!! Thanks a lot."
5456,8025,2009-08-22,32430,Jessica,"Amazing experience! Sylvia was a great hostess, couldn't ask for a more accomodating and friendly hostess. I'm definitely going back and booking my room with Sylvia. She provided everything a hotel does plus I had the privacy a hotel cannot give. "
5456,9441,2009-09-08,28049,Paul,"Sylvia is such a fantastic host! She was willing to pick me up at the airport! She was always accessible if I needed anything, but also respected my privacy. The room was excellent, bathroom spotless, and the kitchen ample.

You're close to all the Austin nightlife, but not so close as to be a disturbance. I was never bothered with noise here. I will definitely stay here upon my return to Austin."
5456,10617,2009-09-19,27082,Luna,"Sylvia did more than she had to, to make sure I was comfortable for my first trip to Austin. She picked me up from the airport, made sure I had enough water in the apartment, and even took me to the grocery store so I could stock up on what I needed. The place itself is large, good for three people, and a near-enough walk from the Austin Convention Center. Thanks for a great time in Austin!"
5456,10815,2009-09-20,34829,Sylvia,"Great location! Easy access to I35, and downtown.

5456,12309,2009-10-04,10828,Gabriela,"Sylvia was a great and helpful host.  My daughter and I stayed for the ACL weekend and the location was great for walking to the shuttle and not having to worry about the car.  There was plenty of space for two people and the internet access was a plus.  When it rained, she even gave us two ponchos so we wouldn't have to drive to walmart.  Very considerate!  "
5456,13137,2009-10-11,40648,Carrie,"we had a great time, and enjoyed the space and (email hidden)d the heater :) thanks!"
5456,15662,2009-10-31,37044,Dennis,"Our anniverary in Austin was wonderful. The apartment is lovely with nice touches of home. Sylvia goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Bringing baked goods and drinks for our stay (even loaned us her personal umbrella). We consider her place as our ""apt. in the city"". Thank you, Sylvia, for your hospitality and the beautiful anniversary flowers."
5456,16489,2009-11-07,46119,Kevin,"Very accommodating, great space."
5456,18215,2009-11-24,54243,Jane,"6th Street is a bit of a walk but location is central to lots of shopping, nightlife and eateries. Place is clean, private and offers an array of videos and dcs. Great coffee, coffee pot and Fiesta Ware in the kitchen."
5456,20136,2009-12-13,50357,Gerald,"Great cozy/modern space, nice location, free wifi, and accommodating hostess made this place perfect for our stay."
5456,20640,2009-12-17,45412,Hannah,Sylvia's place was lovely! Perfect for me and my friend who stayed just before christmas 2009. Sylvia is super lovely and extra helpful! Thanks Sylvia!
5456,21240,2009-12-23,46775,Rochelle,"Sylvia was very kind and accommodating. The space itself was a very quaint home away from home. I work online so having the internet is essential. Sylvia's place work out great! Also, the location was good - not far from downtown Austin and there are a couple of great coffee shops in the neighborhood itself. "
5456,24587,2010-01-22,64841,Vinisha,"The apt was clean, comfortable and cosy. Sylvia was very accommodating."
5456,24721,2010-01-24,62019,Christine,"I'm late in posting this but that is no indication of how my stay went.  it was fantastic!  Sylvia is more than accommodating, just like everyone else has mentioned.  it's all true. not only did she pick me up downtown, she took me to the airport for $10, and then when i realized i left my iphone in the apartment, she went to GREAT lengths to send it back to me.  i almost had a panic attack when i realized i left it there, but was only consoled in the fact that at least it was in very good hands.  the apartment itself was perfect, with plenty of windows, free coffee, etc.  i would definitely stay again. Thanks Sylvia!  sorry for the late review."
5456,27248,2010-02-22,18328,Jeremy,Another fantastic stay! Sylvia is a great host.
5456,27738,2010-02-27,21519,Jessica,"The studio is charming and cheerful and Sylvia and her four dogs (who stayed mostly in the main house but were there to greet us when we arrived :))were very welcoming. The location is convenient and Sylvia provided every ammenity we could need including not just a space heater in the main room but, thoughtfully, one in the bathroom too. Thanks, Sylvia!"
5456,28538,2010-03-07,24075,Michael,Cozy and clean place.  It was close to I-35 so that was convenient.
5456,30448,2010-03-21,35173,Albert,"We (four friends from The Netherlands) stayed at Sylvia's appartment for 8 nights during SXSW 2010.We felt at home right away.
Sylvia was very helpfull and friendly,she picked us up from the airport and showed us around town. She also brought us to a car rental station and to the airport at the end of our stay.She was always there  to answer all our questions. The appartment was perfectly located so we could really walk to 6th street and to other places in town were bands were playing. You do not need a car unless you want to go out of town. We had a fantastic stay and if we ever go back to Austin again we will stay at the same place again. Thanks Sylvia!!!"
5456,32742,2010-04-01,100778,Vikki,"Sylvia is wonderful and her rides around town and local recommendations were well appreciated. Apartment nice, well stocked, clean and had everything I needed. Located by downtown and can easily walk everywhere. Only negative was close to the highway and had traffic noise. "
5456,34218,2010-04-08,91315,Kim,"My flight to Austin was a nightmare; everything was being delayed. I can't tell you know glad I was when I finally got off the plane at 11:30pm and saw that Sylvia was still waiting for me! 

My stay with Sylvia was definitely one of the high points of my trip. Her studio was cozy, and I had a very good night's sleep. Sylvia definitely went out of her way to help me feel at home and comfortable, and there's really nothing I could say that would do justice to her hospitality. 

If I have the chance to go back to Austin again, I will undoubtedly be staying at her studio. Meanwhile, I will tell all my friends about this wonderful place."
5456,34574,2010-04-10,90391,Hannah,"A wonderful stay.  Sylvia was very accommodating and helpful.  She even left water bottles for me and my friend.  The apartment was clean and comfortable with fluffy bathroom towels, lots of videos, books, and extra comforters.  Personally, I didn't hear any noise from the highway and the location was convenient.  I appreciated the convenience of having her take me to the airport.  I definitely would recommend this place to any of my friends."
5456,34888,2010-04-11,78794,Jennifer,"Sylvia was a fantastic hostess who went out of her way to accommodate our various needs.  The apartment was clean, quiet, comfortable, and within walking distance of downtown.  I would recommend Sylvia's place to anyone who is looking for accommodations in Austin and plan on staying here whenever I'm next in town."
5456,36656,2010-04-19,33255,Nainoa,It was so great staying with Sylvia. The walk to 6th street was only a few minutes and there was an IHOP a block away. I loved staying here so much.
5456,37824,2010-04-25,100381,Lucy,"We loved it! We were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to go and the apartment and Austin itself really felt like home by the time we had to leave. Sylvia was very helpful with giving us tips on where we might find interesting and it's obvious she really loves her town. We can't wait to go back! Barton Springs was definitely a highlight, as was the Broken Spoke for attempting to line-dance. After being on the road for a while having the space and independence of a whole apartment was wonderful. Thanks again Sylvia! "
5456,39554,2010-05-02,103353,Matt,Sylvia's place is perfectly located and within walking distance of the major activities in Austin. Sylvia is the PERFECT host and has a fantastic knowledge of the city! Barton Springs is great if it's hot - hire a kayak! Austin is a very cool place to visit and hopefully one day I'll be back for SXSW!
5456,40642,2010-05-07,116325,Susan,"We could easily walk downtown to clubs (as well as just three blocks to the best barbecue restaurant in Austin) and then come home to our leafy, breezy hang-out. Sylvia made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. "
5456,41738,2010-05-11,115762,Justin,"I loved staying at Sylvia's place! It was my first time in Austin and what a wonderful, cozy, memorable place to stay! It was secluded and felt like I was living somewhere in the country yet I was only a few blocks from the center of the city with all the great music venues in walking distance from her place. It's so nice to have a kitchen, comfortable beds and the place was so clean and inviting! Sylvia is a warm person and very giving!"
5456,44086,2010-05-19,90217,Mithu,"We are three women in our late 20s. Sylvia's place is a wonderful home base for a visit to Austin. It is close to everything yet comfortably tucked away. The house itself has everything we needed for our stay and enough space for the three of us to comfortably hang out. The beds were so comfortable and the house was so clean. Sylvia has thoughtfully included beach towels, mats and kickboards (for Barton Springs), maps, and information on local activities. She is also a wealth of information about places to eat and things to do in the area. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Austin!"
5456,48250,2010-05-31,116876,Daniel,i really cant think of a better way to have spent memorial day in austin. sylvia is extremely accomodating and the apartment and its location are perfect. anytime im back there im booking it again.
5456,49772,2010-06-04,135354,Pål,Sylvia's cozy little apartment that has all you need for a comfortable stay. Recommended!
5456,52212,2010-06-12,21519,Jessica,"This was my second time staying with Sylvia and it was as lovely as the first. Extra thanks to Sylvia for offering to drive me to the grocery store and for being so understanding about a check out time mix up that was totally my fault. Sylvia is an excellent hostess and the apartment is gracious and charming. Thank you again, Sylvia :)"
5456,56928,2010-06-24,149344,Mary,Fantastic. Good deal. Very accommodating host.
5456,57236,2010-06-25,151187,James,"great place to stay in Austin! cheaper and nicer than the hotels in the city center, and easy walking distance from 6th st."
5456,59352,2010-06-30,85693,Troy,"My girlfriend (now wife, thanks Las Vegas!) stayed here for five days the end of June. The room is comfortable and secluded. Staying with Sylvia was like staying at your favorite Aunties house, She was an excellent host. She took us out for a paddle in the her canoe and we had many good chats with her. Do not hesitate to stay here as you will not be disappointed. I hope she goes ahead and opens a small hotel like she was hoping to do as she would be amazing. thanks Sylvia. "
5456,66140,2010-07-18,161932,Anne,"Whether you visit Austin with a few friends, or someone with whom you are truly, madly and deeply in love, Sylvia's is the PERFECT place to stay. The apartment is quaint, (love the Eiffel Tower lamp!)quiet, comfortable, and close to everything.  Sylvia is a kind and accommodating host.  She has provided every amenity you could want for a visit to Austin.  "
5456,71621,2010-07-31,174991,Brande,"Sylvia's place was clean and cozy.  I felt very safe because you go through two gates to get to the apartment, plus she has dogs.  The best part was the location - right on the edge of downtown, close enough to walk if you like or you can head up to the corner and catch the bus.  Definitely check out the bus schedule - we found Austin's public transportation to be great and really cheap - 2$ for an all day pass.  Sylvia was friendly and helpful, gave us some great advice for finding real Austin food.  And she has a drawer full of menus and flyers and local buying guides, and some classic VHS for when you want to chill out after a long day of exploring Austin.  Highly recommend. "
5456,78493,2010-08-14,194474,Cathy,"My daughter and I spent a couple of nights at Sylvia's place.  It was convenient, quiet and roomy for us. Helpful to have the kitchen and a stash of coffee in the frig that Sylvia was kind enough to provide.  The only suggestion I would make is that the air conditionner was not powerful enough to handle August heat in Austin. I would recommend a larger unit that would also handle the kitchen and bathroom. The bedroom got a bit hot at night...Other than that a good place to rest your head."
5456,79684,2010-08-16,194354,Yvonne,"We spent a couple of days in Sylvia's wonderful little apartment. The apartment was clean, central, cosy, well-equipped and private. Couldn't have hoped for more! "
5456,81735,2010-08-20,188299,Marcy,Sylvia was so great.  Friendly and helpful.  The apartment was sweet and homey. I hope I can visit again.
5456,83097,2010-08-23,168149,Barb,"Sylvia was very nice, informal, and she was relaxed about when we arrived and when we left so we did not feel any stress as we found our way from the airport to her place or when it was time to pack up and leave.

The apartment is behind her historical home in its own little yard/garden. Because of its age it is a little rustic when it comes to water temp in the shower, but it is cozy and cheerful. Anyone who likes historical homes (as I do) won't mind what is old but will find it charming.

The apartment was clean, we had everything we needed, plenty of space for the two of us, plus lots of privacy and quiet. Sylvia made sure we had enough fans in the room in addition to the air conditioner, which was really great for us because we are not acclimated to the hot, humid Texas summers.

We did not use it but the kitchen also had anything we might have needed. 

The beds are soft which might be a concern for anyone with a bad back, but we slept great and there were plenty of pillows (Yay!).

The property is in a good location, not far from downtown, an easy drive from and to the airport, and it is also very close to a great Mexican cafe that stays open late, serves the real deal Mexican food for Great prices, all with really good service! We loved it.

Thanks Sylvia for contributing to our fun weekend in Austin. Your city rocks!"
5456,87961,2010-08-31,191905,Jaysond,Wonderful location and a great little studio apartment.  Sylvia was such a nice person and more than accommodating to us.  Thanks again Sylvia!
5456,89398,2010-09-02,220587,John,The host canceled my reservation.
5456,89797,2010-09-03,168679,Tory,"Silvias place is perfect! Great location and nice detached apartment with
all the needed amenities, thanks for the great stay and looking forward
to talk to you again!!! "
5456,90343,2010-09-04,205455,John,"Sylvia was an excellent host and the place was AMAZING!  I was so comfortable there and did not want to leave.  I will stay there again when in Austin.  Thank you, Sylvia!  "
5456,100883,2010-09-20,187016,Nancy,"Laura and I had a wonderful re-union in Austin, with many thank you's to Sylvia!  Sylvia was a gracious host who even gave us a whirlwind tour of the neighborhood after picking us up at the airport.  The apartment was cozy, comfortable, quiet, and well supplied (we loved the movie selection!).  We highly recommend staying here.  Thank you again Sylvia!"
5456,107149,2010-09-28,171767,Adrienne,"Sylvia's place is so perfect and she is such a warm and welcoming host.  We (best friend and I) stayed for 5 nights and were extremely comfortable the whole time.  The house has everything you would need- comfortable beds and bedding, kitchen with dishes and glasses, and a tv with a vcr and a fun collection of movies!  I loved Sylvia's dogs (especially Boo Boo who came and hung out with us often) and Sylvia also gave us really great recommendations for food, shopping and things to do.  I can't wait to come back to Austin and when I do I will definitely stay with Sylvia again.  Overall, wonderful experience.  "
5456,108951,2010-09-30,117384,Jessica,"We really enjoyed Sylvia's place. It was perfect for our time we had in Austin. Its in an ideal location, surrounded by plants, flowers and trees. Very clean, with lots of natural light. 
Great extras too, like movies, music, and brochures. She was also very flexible about our checkout time. 
We will definitely be booking again!"
5456,115791,2010-10-11,130353,Evelyn,"Sylvia was an amazing host. I had 2 girlfriends come in from out of town for Austin City Limits 2010 and Sylvia had great local recommendations for us of things to do and places to eat. One of the nights, Sylvia came and picked us up from Austin City Limits at night because the walk from the shuttle would have been too long at night!! I couldn't believe how gracious she was and so utterly nice about helping us in any way she can. The apartment was very quaint and cozy and had everything we needed - towels, dishware, sheets, etc. Sylvia made the experience so easy and very enjoyable!!"
5456,121033,2010-10-17,262968,Rich,"Sylvia is a warm and welcoming host. Her place was comfortable and close to Red River music venues as well as 6th street. A great place, close to all.   "
5456,124313,2010-10-22,224756,Joshua,"Sylvia is a wonderful host!  Very knowledgeable about Austin and has great suggestions.  The room is very nice and clean and in an extremely easy location to downtown and the Sixth Street or Soco areas.  A bit noisy, so be careful if you are a very light sleeper, but excellent besides that!"
5456,126261,2010-10-25,181645,Joyce,"Just had a terrific stay at Sylvia's place.  Perfect, cozy, and comfortable! "
5456,128303,2010-10-27,12386,Adrian,"Sylvia is very hospitable and that's why the rating has stars.

The neighborhood didn't feel walkable on Sunday: many places were closed when I went out, including the BBQ place mentioned in the guide.  I also didn't see anyone else ""walking"" near the place, except people asking me for money.

The cottage fell short of our expectations, considering we stayed in thrilling soco, in an insect-free modern cabin, for less money the two nights prior.

That said, if you want to be in walking distance to the convention center and/or are in need of two beds, this place could be worth a look."
5456,130853,2010-11-01,123041,Mary,"Sylvia's place is terrific. Great location, very clean, stocked with everything you need (maps, guides, movies, fiestaware, plenty of towels, hair dryer, iron, etc. etc. We ate out on the patio every morning, surrounded by plants. There's wireless internet. Cute dogs. Plus, the generosity of Sylvia. She's really a lovely, lovely person and gave us tons of ideas for good, cheap eats(Manuels' happy hour!), and was a general font of information. We rented bikes from her too, which was super convenient. All in all, a great stay. 
p.s. her neighborhood is really neat, full of small bungalows, an gallery bookstore a block away, and a (closed temporarily) cafe located within a nursery a few blocks away. "
5456,133337,2010-11-04,245842,Gretchen,Sylvia picked me up from the airport and gave me a beautiful evening tour of Austin before we went to Whole Foods to pick up some supplies. It was a wonderful introduction to Austin and I felt right at home the next morning when I used the closeby and convenient bus system to get around town. Her place is very conveniently located to downtown but was secluded and quiet. I enjoyed my stay and would return again. Thanx Sylvia
5456,135953,2010-11-09,194906,Michaela,"My friend and I were in Austin for the Fun Fun Fun Fest and Sylvia's place was the perfect retreat! 

We didn't spend a whole lot of time in the apartment and unfortunately we didn't get to meet Sylvia but every possible need or want was expected and met. An unexpected plus were the beach towels provided, they were perfect for the music festival when we were tired of standing and wanted to sit down. The only tiny suggestion I would make is to have a bath mat in the bathroom since the tiles get slippery with condensation after a shower.

I will definitely recommend Sylvia's to anyone making a trip to Austin!  Thanks Sylvia!!"
5456,137321,2010-11-11,108075,Traveler,"Great place! I was there for a conference and it's only a few blocks from the convention center. So it was super convenient. Sylvia was very nice and helpful. The place had an iron, hair dryer, all the standard things you might need on a business trip, and some more because it also has a small kitchen. And there's wifi which is great."
5456,138419,2010-11-14,238266,Pete,Sylvia was a gracious host and everything about the rental was as it was described on airbnb. The location is very convenient to downtown Austin.
5456,139678,2010-11-15,282168,Anna,"Even though it was a quick trip, we thoroughly enjoyed staying with Sylvia.  The guest house is a perfect retreat and the location is great also.  Sylvia was a great host and very helpful when needed.  We hope to stay with her again on our next trip.  Needless to stay our first experience with airbnb was a great one."

5456,144669,2010-11-26,209632,Greg,"We just returned from a fantastic stay with Sylvia. The location is great, the apartment well stocked, clean and cosy. Wireless internet is available, as are bicycles and an airport pickup/dropoff if required ( for a small fee ). Sylvia is very friendly and a great host. I can highly recommend for anyone coming to visit Austin."
5456,147018,2010-11-30,43662,Cari And Todd,"I can't say anything about the hospitality, as I never made it down to Texas.  I missed my flight due to winter weather conditions.  Sylvia didn't refund any of the cost.  "
5456,150928,2010-12-08,294302,Samantha,"We had a lovely time in Austin and enjoyed the apartment- it was clean and spacious enough for the two of us.  The kitchen is a perfect size and if we'd stayed longer, would have used it!  We had trouble with a drafty window and a shower problem the first morning- both of which were promptly addressed by Sylvia by the time we returned to our lodging.  The yard is pretty with lots of foliage and there are animals to keep you from missing your own pets.  Convenient location- we walked to a lot of things.  Sylvia had good suggestions for us.  Would return again for another stay."
5456,151922,2010-12-11,21098,Tammy,"Sylvia was beyond hospitable. Her place was so cute and clean and equipped with everything you need. Even maps and guides for everything Austin has to offer. Also if she's avail, she'll pick you up from the airport for less than a taxi. Walking distance to downtown area and Mr. Natural (my favorite)! Thank you Sylvia!"
5456,153916,2010-12-14,296519,Hunter And Teri,"My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at Sylvia's guest house.  The apartment was the perfect size for us and had several amenities you wouldn't find in a hotel such as movies, music, books, bath salts and tea (several kinds) and coffee.  She was the perfect host, offering suggestions on things to do and places to eat, and general information about Austin.  Sylvia went out of her way to make sure we had a good time.  Thank you for making our weekend perfect!  We'll be staying here when we vacation in Austin from now on!!!"
5456,154656,2010-12-16,26450,Christina,"Top notch place to stay while in one of the greatest cities in the world. Guests have everything they could possibly need, a kitchen, bathroom and comfortable bed to rest. Sylvia is a quality person to-get-to know and very knowledgeable on the area. You can't go wrong staying literally a hop, skip and a jump from downtown."
5456,156118,2010-12-20,299719,Susie,Thanks Sylvia!  We had a great time.  The place was great.  Clean and comfortable.  Close to everything.  If we return to Austin we will definitely stay hear again!!  I also appreciate your quick response to anything we needed especially booking!  And thanks for digging those bikes out even though we just didn't have time to ride them.  Next time!
5456,159740,2010-12-29,199629,Carmina,"Sylvia's appartment is nice, clean and big enough for 2 people. The  fully equiped kitchen is a good place for morning coffee or evening tea. And what is most important it is close to downtown, so you do not need the car to get out in the city. It is at a walking distance to 6th street and even at 12am you'll feel safety to walk. She is a warm, sociable person, wealling to provide with all the information that you need. We enjoyed our experience in her home. All the best for Sylvia!"
5456,163386,2011-01-03,101839,Joe,"Sylvia is an absolutely amazing host!  The location is absolutely perfect!  I couldn't think of a better place to stay if I were coming for SXSW.  You get a beautiful place with a bathroom and kitchen.  She's also one of the nicest people I've met in Austin, and that's saying something!"
5456,167154,2011-01-06,332425,Scott,"I loooved the place.  Very neat, super comfortable, great location, and everything available for a feeling of home away from home.  Thank you Sylvia, I have already told some of my friends. "
5456,172503,2011-01-19,242327,Anthony,"Great place, close to everything you would want to see in Austin. Sylvia was kind and helpful."
5456,172682,2011-01-20,311454,Lauren,"Thank you so much, Sylvia! Your studio was the perfect place for us to relax after the photography convention in San Antonio.  I just wished we could have stayed longer.  Wonderful to have met you and we will be back the next time we are in Austin!"
5456,180992,2011-02-12,287391,Scott,"Very convenient location to the Convention Center and downtown Austin.  The studio is very nice and Sylvia is a wonderful host.  I walked downtown every day and it took only about 10 minutes with waiting at traffic lights.  This is a great little place for the Spring-time temperatures.

I would have given this 4 stars, except for the following which were somewhat out of the control of the owner:

My only complaints are that the stove was not hooked up, nor were there any pots or pans, so cooking my own meals other than microwave meals was out.  It was also abnormally cold in Austin, the week I was there and the only source of heat was a nice space heater that tried its hardest to fight off the sub-freezing temperatures outside.  The studio had a hard time even maintaining 65 degrees with the heater cranked.  This also translated to the hot water in the shower which for some reason could not exceed luke warm.  Let's just say showers were, exhilarating!"
5456,181879,2011-02-14,346675,Joe,"Sylvia was great!  The place was clean and it had everything one would need for an awesome stay in Austin.  She was also very accommodating to our odd arrival and departure times.  This was my first Airbnb experience and I can tell you that staying at Sylvia's place for the night has me hooked.

Oh! I forgot to mention that she has a bad ass VHS movie collection for winding down with after a night on 6th street. =)

"
5456,190484,2011-03-01,331659,Deb,"What a lovely space, and what a gracious host!  :-)  We so enjoyed our time in Austin, and Sylvia played a big role!  In addition to being conveniently located within walking distance from downtown, South Congress, and East 6th Street (not to mention very close to some key bus routes!), this little apartment was wonderful to come home to - very clean and comfortable, with a few treats in the kitchen and a fun video collection for winding down.  Sylvia offered us some great suggestions (we especially appreciated learning about Mr. Natural!), and she was so kind to offer us a ride back to the airport.  We will gladly recommend Sylvia and this apartment to anyone we know who is heading to Austin, and we would most definitely stay here again!"
5456,200290,2011-03-16,40247,Shazna,"Sylvia was a friendly host, the apartment was good for a short stay -- very bright and sunny with birds singing out the window. Very useful to have a small kitchen with cheery fiesta plateware. This is good for one or two people - excellent location as it's close to downtown, walkable distance -- good running trail by lake closeby too."
5456,206040,2011-03-22,96197,Eileen,My friends and I stayed at Sylvia's place for SXSW and had a great time. She was a very helpful host with lots of information and her apartment was a quiet refuge from all the craziness of 6th Street. It was easy walking distance to almost everywhere we wanted to go and the perfect home base in the city.
5456,215997,2011-04-03,434743,Deirdre,"Sylvia's place is terrific, she has put a lot of thought into providing for guests needs and Sylvia is terrifically hospitable. The place is very conveniently located for downtown, within walking distance of the Convention Center, State House, E.6th St and more. Thanks Sylvia."
5456,217567,2011-04-04,469745,Monica,"Sylvia's studio apt was very cute, clean and comfortable. It was very close to downtown and a great deal! I would definitely recommend this place- even though it's near the interstate, it was very quiet and a peaceful spot to come back to after partying or walking all day. Very nice VHS collection, books and maps of Austin! Thanks, Sylvia! "
5456,221246,2011-04-09,453649,Jason,"Simple, clean and comforatable.  Sylvia is very nice.  The location is within easy walking distance of downtown for a third of the price (downtown hotels)."
5456,222206,2011-04-10,399918,S.,"Sylvia was great -- very friendly, the place was lovely and as described. Just a few minutes to East 6th, and 15 or so to downtown. Would definitely stay here again."
5456,223617,2011-04-11,481122,Kelly,"Sylvia's place is cute, clean, and very convenient. It's less than a mile's walk to 6th street! She has tons of maps and info for you there if you don't already know where you're going. Whenever we make it back to Austin, we WILL be looking her up again!"
5456,227563,2011-04-16,161358,Jessamyn,"I had a conference to go to at the ACC and this place was the perfect getaway. Close enough to be convenient. Far away enough to not be in the hustle-bustle of downtown. The neighborhood around Sylvia's place includes a great funky bookstore and a terrific public library. 

The space had everything I required and more. Full kitchen, toiletries and towels in the bathroom, a collection of movies, music and things to read, everything spotless. A nice porch and patio for enjoying the weather was an extra bonus. 

I have told all my Austin friends to put their friends here instead of the noisy crowded downtown hotels. Thanks so much to Sylvia for creating this great accommodation."
5456,240280,2011-04-26,370103,Gabe,"This was the perfect spot - clean, private, comfortable, and within walking distance to many desirable destinations. 

Sylvia was a welcoming and knowledgeable host who went out of her way to make sure we felt at home. When presented with a complaint, she quickly resolved the issue. We would gladly stay here again!"
5456,245308,2011-04-30,433344,Emelyne,"It was our first time using air bnb so we didn't know what to expect but Sylvia was so lovely and accommodating. She picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, made sure we had all questions answered and made us feel at home! When we first arrived it was about 12:30am and she offered to drive us around the town and give us a tiny tour! We could not believe it! The house was cute and very clean and had everything you needed there! It was an amazing location,close to 6th st and the bus stop. We had such a great time and would definitely recommend staying here!"
5456,254105,2011-05-07,50412,Wyndi,"Sylvia is super friendly, helpful AND the apartment is perfect for a stay in Austin. I rented a bike (though it was very easy to walk) and was able to get around quite easily. I'll be back when I come through Austin!"
5456,263676,2011-05-15,398674,Rene',Nice and convienant to most everything.  The bathroom and shower is very small.      
5456,269764,2011-05-18,552151,Eugene,"First time airbnb user, impressed by the experience. Stay was great, was better than I expected."
5456,287328,2011-05-30,401993,Spencer And Julia,"Got in quite late from the airport and Slyvia was very accommodating. She hooked us up with maps and advice on places to go (Barton Springs Pool is awesome). Definitely a great place to stay, easy walking distance to Sixth St action, and definitely better than paying for a hotel."
5456,299981,2011-06-06,554460,Caitlin,"Sylvia's place was very comfortable and private.  Even though we stayed there in the summer, the place stayed nice and cool.  The location was very convenient for us and Sylvia was very friendly and considerate.  Great place to stay!   "
5456,321099,2011-06-18,672252,Bryant,"Sylvia was straight forward and helped us (Austin newbies) with some cool places to eat and check out. This place is uber centrally located as well. 

Hoping to see her again when we visit! "
5456,347435,2011-07-02,551186,Brazos,"This location is perfect for anyone looking to be close to downtown, and south Austin.  Everything was kept nice and clean.  Sylvia, the host, was very nice.  I would definitely recommend staying here."
5456,354293,2011-07-05,691632,Laura,The apartment was awesome!! It's very clean and comfortable and within walking distance of many fun places.  Sylvia is so helpful and has a lot of brochures and info on fun things to do in Austin.  STAY HERE!
5456,366622,2011-07-11,727556,Tarja,"The place is very nice!! Sylvia was a great host and gave us
a lot of useful information. We especially appreciate her assistance with
arrangements  to see a special gig and other venues -
thank you once again Sylvia! The apt is just as described and very conveniently located. 
I will recommend this place to all my friends, both in Europe and the U.S., should they plan to visit Austin."
5456,378968,2011-07-17,755907,Justin,"Nice apartment, INCREDIBLE location.  Walk to everything fun.  Downtown is right across I35, but I suggest hitting up the bars on the east side.  Comfy bed and tons of space.  Sylvia is nice as can be and it is apparent that she loves her place and her city.  Check this place out for sure!"
5456,414166,2011-08-02,509110,Marsha,Sylvia was a wonderful host!!  The place was cute and very comfortable.  We were in walking distance to almost all the locations we wanted to see during our stay.  We would definitely stay here again!

5456,464449,2011-08-22,339366,Mat,"Sylvia was a fantastic host and her accommodation was great. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. There is a separate entrance, so we were able to come and go as we pleased without bothering Sylvia. Sylvia's place is walking distance from Downtown, but if the heat gets too much, there is a bus stop that goes to Downtown, just a few minutes walk away. I highly recommend Sylvia and her apartment, I would definitely stay with her again next time I'm in Austin."
5456,473067,2011-08-24,974813,Carley,"Cute place in an awesome location!! Loved the two nights I spent there and look forward to returning some day! I am from Austin, so I can gaurantee this is a great central location. Everything was as promised by Sylvia and the tub was a nice bonus for soaking in! :)"
5456,478511,2011-08-27,818866,John,"It's a great place.  In Sylvia's backyard, she has a small free-standing cottage.  It's small but quite cozy, and her house is very close to downtown Austin.  Quite convenient.  Sylvia was extremely helpful, and even let us park our car (which was holding all of our personal belongings at the time) in her driveway, hidden from the view of the street.  Recommend highly!"
5456,505661,2011-09-06,440042,Aj,"Great place, convenient location, super friendly host!"
5456,527046,2011-09-13,746216,Jonathan,Sylvia is a really nice person and a great host.  She made us feel very welcome and her place had all the amenities for a very comfortable stay.  
5456,540440,2011-09-17,257569,Ron,"Sylvia is extremely friendly and inviting. The apartment is quiet, comfortable, clean, and fully stocked with everything you might need. Not much more to say... it was easy and stress free.

"
5456,556233,2011-09-22,846743,Lee Ann,"We LOVED staying with Sylvia. The garage apartment is everything she advertises it to be...plus some lovely extras. She even has grass mats and beach towels for a trip to Lake Travis or Barton Springs!

Next time we come to Austin, we are definitely staying here.

Wifi was good, kitchen was stocked with tea and some coffee, everything was very clean. Plenty of pillows! That's a big plus for me.

Thank you Sylvia!!!!"
5456,573342,2011-09-27,825027,Betsy,"I absolutely loved Sylvia's humble apartment above her garage. It was the perfect location!! She had coffee and tea waiting for us, her bathroom is absolutely adorable, and her VHS collection gave us an excellent background to getting ready. We would definitely visit Austin again and stay in Sylvia's apartment. "
5456,614440,2011-10-10,651331,Chris,"Sylvia's place was great! Solid location for hitting up both Downtown & East Austin (where, apparently, all the cool kids are hanging these days).

Clean, comfortable, quiet. A nice collection of 90s VHS tapes and obscure bunch of 'promotional' CDs. Couldn't ask for more! Thanks Sylvia--"
5456,627165,2011-10-14,404773,Michael,"What a wonderful place! Walking distance to 6th Street and downtown. Or if you're tired, a very short taxi ride. Wonderful private apartment with all the amenities you require. Wonderful bed!
Sylvia was a wonderful host, kindly meeting meet at the airport and driving me to the bus depot when sadly it was time to leave Austin.
Heartily recommended!"
5456,644353,2011-10-19,565978,Marsha,"We had a great time in Austin, and Sylvia was part of that experience.  She was friendly, responsive and informative.  The efficiency apartment was clean, everything worked, and was in a great location.  We were able to walk to the bus stop and to a number of restaurants in the area.  We highly recommend this place and host, and would gladly stay there again next time we're in Austin."
5456,662204,2011-10-25,992879,Liz,"Great little apartment – Sylvia was incredibly welcoming and put in 3 beds for myself and my 2 friends. Provided it's not too hot when you go to Austin, it's actually really convenient for the bus from the airport (about a 15-minute walk) and to walk to places on 6th St."
5456,674786,2011-10-30,713235,Bill,"Sylvia picked us up at the airport despite having a flight delay, provided great recommendations and was a very gracious hostess.  The studio was quiet, private and well-equipped.  We were close to the downtown area but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Sylvia's recommendations were right on the mark.  We enjoyed Austin and plan to return.  Sylvia, thank you for making our first trip to Austin a pleasant experience."
5456,701863,2011-11-08,836515,Ray,"Sylvia has a very nice BnB which my wife Sharon and I used as our base to explore Austin. No need for a car, it's a easy walk to all restaurants and bars. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Oh the dogs were great aswell."
5456,778210,2011-12-12,1032262,Laura,I stayed at Sylvia's place for a month while I did a visiting rotation at the hospital.  She helped me find great places to eat and things to do during my limited free time.  The place was perfect for what I needed and the bed was comfortable. Loved the easy access to the lake trail a few blocks away.   I was also glad to use one of the bikes nearly every day to commute.  Thanks for a great experience!  ~LAP
5456,794288,2011-12-19,1478493,Ryan,"I have to warn potential customers about a slight problem I had with Sylvia. On arrival, she asked for a $100 deposit, (which is normal of course) in cash or check form. She wrote a receipt and said we would get it back on departure. 

The morning came where we had to go. She overslept even though we had discussed a 9 AM departure. She then said, ""Oh right, you know what... I spent your cash so I'll send it to you in the mail""... We found this totally irresponsible and unprofessional.

She ended up writing us a check on the spot and it did not bounce. The point is, she was not a responsible host. A respectful guest shouldn't have to think about whether he/she is going to get their deposit back.

I would consider looking in to other hosts on Air BNB in Austin.


"
5456,802203,2011-12-23,1494502,Hannah,My friend and I needed a centrally located place to stay while interviewing all over the Austin area. Sylvia's place was perfect! Really close drive to all the great restaurants and bars. We got to love on the doggies and we were able to come and go as needed. I definitely recommend staying during the holidays because Sylvia makes amazing fudge treats! Thanks again Sylvia! 
5456,808852,2011-12-27,1507631,Caro,The studio was great! Really nice and clean and full of little details that make the difference. We had a great time! 
5456,821054,2012-01-01,1299258,Christine,"Well located and comfortable! 
We had a good experience."
5456,829144,2012-01-03,841982,Wendy,This is an awesome location for someone looking to experience downtown Austin; it's a fun guest home in a quaint neighborhood within walking distance of many of Austin's attractions.  We enjoyed our stay here and would definitely consider staying again!  The only complaint we would have is the size of the bed (it was a double) - my boyfriend is 6 foot  tall and was hanging off a bit but given the size of the room we can understand.  What a quaint bathtub! 
5456,867366,2012-01-17,1270502,Rayna,"Sylvia's apartment was warm and comfortable, with total privacy. Sylvia was happy to give us tips for getting around Austin, as well as good recommendation for food. Her place is just a short walk From the CBD, with just a short 10 or 15 minute walk to the main entertainment strip. Recommended. "
5456,880207,2012-01-24,437338,Thom,Sylvia's place is an ideal place to stay in Austin. It is located pretty much as close to Downtown you can get in a nice area of traditional Texan houses. Her guest apartment is cozy and clean as described in the listing. Sylvia also offered to pick us up and drop us off at the airport which is much more personal and cost effective than a cab. If I went back to Austin I would definitely stay here again. 
5456,914904,2012-02-12,1386623,Kim,"We had a wonderful time at this location.  We were attending a conference at the convention center and it was an easy 10 minute walk.  Sylvie was very helpful with our questions about where to eat and what to see.  She had many maps and brochures in the room and the wi-fi was a definite benefit.  The first night was a little cool and we did not see any heat but when we asked about heat the next day, Sylvie explained it was built into the air-conditioning - we had never seen a unit like that before!  The basic necessities were provided in the unit including coffee, filters, tea, creamers, snack crackers and cookies, shampoo, body lotion and ever a cold beer for us when we arrived after a long day of travel!  It was also a great location to walk to 6th street for the music and restaurants!"
5456,936387,2012-02-21,1491934,Lan,"My boyfriend & I stayed here for the Austin Livestrong Marathon in February 2012. The apartment was as advertised and we were able to walk to and from the marathon start/finish as well as to restaurants and 6th St. Street parking for our rental car was easy and everything we needed was supplied (pillows, sheets, towels, soap, lotion, coffee, etc). 

It was our first time using Airbnb and a great experience. Thank you Sylvia for the hospitality, recommendations and umbrella!"
5456,949916,2012-02-26,1729520,Grady,"Being a first time user of airbnb we were excited for the new experience. 
And I am here to testify that Sylvia far exceeded our expectations.
I hope that all other experiences that we have on airbnb will be as nice as it was with Sylvia.
Thank you for the great conversation and the clean place you share.
YOU ROCK SYLVIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

5456,977733,2012-03-07,1434300,Alexis,"We had a great time staying at Sylvia's garage apartment. Very comfortable beds, everything sparkling clean, coffee provided, and beer in the fridge! The location was great for walking to nightlife downtown, but also very quiet for a good night's sleep. .Sylvia herself was warm and welcoming and we loved her dogs! Highly recommended! 
"
5456,1001358,2012-03-15,629700,Luke,Came for work (SXSWi) and had a great time – Sylvia was really easy to get ahold of and made sure we had everything we needed. The unit was exactly as described and we had everything we needed for our stay. We'd definitely stat again!
5456,1015979,2012-03-19,1465936,Melanie,"Sylvia's place was perfect for our second SXSW!  The location couldn't be better and Sylvia herself was super-helpful in giving us directions and accommodating our late arrival.  She even offered us a ride to the airport on our departure!  The apartment itself has a powerful a/c and lovingly-maintained and stocked bathroom (shampoos, lotions and sunscreen) and kitchen (coffee, teas and oatmeal).   We will definitely be back!"
5456,1066861,2012-04-01,737793,Alison,"Sylvia's guest house is the perfect combination of comfort, amenities, and good location for a trip to Austin. It was just right for 2 friends! We had plenty of space to have meals inside, share the bathroom with its cute claw-foot tub, and hang out on the beds to watch some TV. The beds were so comfortable and the A/C and ceiling fan kept the room cool. The guest house is above an unused garage and surrounded by a beautiful garden. It was also just a 10 min. walk from any number of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shopping. Sylvia herself is a very friendly and caring host. She provided us with snacks and cold beers, and we got to play with her sweet dogs. This was the best possible experience we could have hoped for. We highly recommend Sylvia's guest house!"
5456,1136036,2012-04-16,1750288,Denise,"Sylvia's place was absolutely perfect.  It was clean, stocked with things you might have otherwise forgotten to pack (extra soap, shampoo, coffee, tea, etc), and so, so cute.  The a/c worked like a dream, and the location couldn't be closer to all the action in Austin.

This place is ideal for the solo traveler, or anyone looking to get a bit of work done during a working trip.

"
5456,1167066,2012-04-23,1748530,Barbara,"Really cute place, plenty of privacy. Extremely convenient to the convention center -- closer than the downtown hotels! Sylvia is very accommodating. Place is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple though it can sleep up to 4 easily."
5456,1199321,2012-04-30,1235324,Shawn,Precious garage apartment with everything we needed.  Came for the Country Living Magazine Fair and to visit daughter.  Perfect location to do everything we wanted to do.
5456,1265068,2012-05-12,386679,Samantha,"Sylvia was a kind and wonderful host, and she has a lovely, well-kept place! Our accommodations were clean and comfortable and surrounded by a lovely garden. Everything you will need is provided there--unlike some AirBnB places I've stayed. Sylvia added an extra single bed so that four people could be accommodated. Though the place may be small by apartment standards, with four people, it was a similar experience to sharing a hotel room with others, except this one had a little more space and a kitchen.

We were staying for business (a conference at the nearby convention center), and this was a no-nonsense quiet, convenient place to stay. Everything about this stay was easy and wonderful. Although, her movie collection and plethora of traveler information made me wish I had more time relax and to explore Austin. Next time I'm in Austin, I will stay here again! :)"
5456,1285454,2012-05-15,1581605,Ben,"Sylvia was an excellent host for our stay in Austin; kept in touch before our arrival and took care of everything we needed while we were there. Apartment was as advertised with clean linens, clean kitchen, and (most important!) clean bathroom. Truly a great experience."
5456,1319821,2012-05-21,744030,Curtis,"Sylvia is the greatest host and her apartment is the best. If I didnt love NYC so much I'd move in permanently. Instead, I'm trying to move her apartment to NY.  It's bright, airy and compfortable, and (indispensable) has a coffee maker at the ready. The location is perfect, the garden surrounding it with banana trees is lush and fabulous. Sylvia is absolutely delightful.  We had great conversations, her dogs are friendly and well behaved (and didnt make a sound even when I came in late) and she made this the best airbnb yet. One more thing - the location is great - nearby downtown, a safe quiet and pretty neighborhood. Nohting but good to say about the whole experience. Thank you, Sylvia!"
5456,1624859,2012-07-03,2699703,Josh,"Sylvia is extremely friendly and hospitable. She gave a warm welcome. The place is nice: sparkling clean and spacious enough. Sylvia also leaves extra towels in case you want to go to Barton Springs - lots of kind little touches like that to make the place very homey. Great location, close to downtown and some of the gems of East Austin, including a wonderful cafe Cenote, only a block or so away. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone passing by Austin."
5456,1652620,2012-07-07,326352,Jo,What a wonderful place to stay!! Sylvia is an incredible hostess. She was so easy to communicate with.  She steered us in the best direction as far as things todo in Austin (and in our brief stop in San Antonio too!).  The apartment is cute and clean. The location could not have been better. I highly recommend staying here!!!
5456,1731913,2012-07-17,2574777,Trish,"We spent five nights in this great garage apartment. Sylvia is a great host, who offers help but also respects your privacy. The apartment is well stocked with just about anything you can think of - including Lone Star in the fridge. We were incredible comfortable and it felt like home. We traveled with our 8 month old and every time we climbed the stairs and reached the door he let out a contented little sigh - which is how we felt, too!"
5456,1856166,2012-07-31,1924753,Austin,"You never know quite what you are going to get but what I got easily exceeded my expectations, comfortable, clean and cracking location. It was also remarkably quiet considering the proximity to the free way and i slept like a. Very comfortable baby.
The location is worth a mention as you can indeed walk down to the somewhat frenetic 6th Street or within a couple of blocks the are  a number of quieter altogether more chilled out bars serving excellent ale and food. For me the best discovery was the Indian restaurant trailer set up with quite magnificent Goan prawn curry.
It would also be rude not to mention mine hosts who were concerned to ensure that I enjoyed my stay, they were warm, friendly and generous deserving the very best reviews which I am sure they must get routinely."
5456,1909931,2012-08-06,1424321,Felicia,"Sylvia worked with us on a very last minute weekend booking. The photos are pretty much spot on. A prime location and good value. Parking was easy, lots of places close by to eat and visit. Burned off all the calories from the Ice Cream Festival by walking to and from Fiesta Gardens :). We didn't go downtown much, but I could see this being a good place to sleep if you plan to drink and not drive. 

A few small cons, including the cute but a small clawfoot tub (I'm only 5'4"" and I felt a little cramped.) and the fact that things could have been a little cleaner/fresher (crumbs/dirt on the floor, and musty towels). Also, you might want to bring a sleeping mask if you are sensitive to light -- I sleep like a rock but my friend had a hard time with all the ambient light from the windows + light curtains. 

All in all, a good first experience using AirBnb :) "
5456,1986631,2012-08-14,3091823,José,"Sylvia was a great host.  She is friendly and gave us great recommendations. The home was cozy and clean, a perfect distanace from downtown. I would definitely be returning."
5456,2014506,2012-08-17,2363354,Teresa,"great proximity to Downtown, just on other side of free way. Close to Convention CEnter, Iron Works, Monshine some great resturaunts and just south of the 4 seasons for a lot less. you will find all you need , Kitchen bedroom and bathroom for a great price"
5456,2043997,2012-08-20,2494729,Jodee,"We had a wonderful time staying at Sylvia's place.  Very private and relaxing.  My friend and I rode bikes to downtown for yoga at Wanderlust, it was very close and easy. Sylvia was very sweet, she even purchased a Britta water filter pitcher for us so we didn't have to buy water in bottles! Love that! We will stay again!! "
5456,2129276,2012-08-28,705436,Emily,"We had a fantastic stay with Sylvia and would absolutely rent here again. The property is a guesthouse located behind the main house--so, totally private and also quite quiet. The guesthouse was very clean, comfortable, and well-provisioned (coffee and a coffee maker; plenty of towels, even beach towels for a trip to Barton Springs; wifi; maps; a very functional A/C unit; and Lone Star beers waiting for us in the fridge). Sylvia was very kind and helpful, and even gave us a lift down the street when we needed it. Bars and restaurants on Rainey Street are an easy 8-minute walk; food trucks, bars, and restos on East 6th Street are about 15 minutes in the opposite direction. A+!"
5456,2152668,2012-08-31,2830904,Mariann,"A beautiful place in a lush garden within walking distance to 6th/Congress + river. I enjoyed staying in this neighborhood with its easy access, and the apartment really has everything you need for a a stay in Austin. Sylvia  is the perfect host giving all the information you need."
5456,2195909,2012-09-04,1178111,Nancy,"Sylvia's cute apartment above the garage was perfect for my husband and I during our visit to Austin.  The location is great and Sylvia was a perfect host, from greeting us upon our arrival to the very thoughtful soda and beer stocked in the refrigerator.  There is an entire drawer with books on Austin and any information you could possibly need about things to do in the area.  She even provided towels and mats for a trip to Barton Springs Pool.  We would love to stay again if we visit Austin and highly recommend it."
5456,2289988,2012-09-14,3436560,Nell,"We had a great three-night stay here. Sylvia is friendly, helpful and welcoming. It is nice to have your own private space. The air-conditioning works well, the bed is a bit small (but we’re both tall), it’s all very clean and tidy and the free beer and popcorn were nice! The location is great but I’d say it’s a 10-15 minute walk to Congress Ave rather than eight minutes and the buses are only every half an hour. I highly recommend it and would definitely stay again.
"
5456,2318357,2012-09-17,3443788,Katrina,"Came for a wedding and had a great time – Sylvia was available and made sure I had everything we needed. The unit was exactly as described. The garden surrounding the area is lush. There is easy street parking, too!"
5456,2457419,2012-09-30,3553994,Tracie,"Cozy space, perfect for the two of us.  We walked to Stubbs BBQ, Congress Bridge, and other downtown locales.  Great location with easy freeway access.  Great coffee shop within two blocks!"
5456,2679949,2012-10-22,2297742,Lance,"This is a great place to stay - a cute, cozy, comfortable carriage-house apartment on a quiet street in East Austin, just a short walk from Sixth Street. "
5456,2706775,2012-10-24,2628576,Greg,"Sylvia was an excellent host. Stayed in touch with me and made sure I knew exactly to find her place. She met me on arrival and gave me a wonderful introduction to the space and to the area, being sure I knew how to find my way around.

The location couldnt be better. Just off downtown, close enough to walk, pedicab, or cab downtown. I was in town for a conference and it was really nice to have a place to go back to which was comfortable, spacious and quiet. 

I was comfortable, bed was nice and clean. The bathroom was charming and stocked with supplies which was nice because I forgot a few. Anyway, if you are going to be in Austin and want to stay somewhere nice, unique, and in the middle of everything - this is it. Sylvia was an awesome host."
5456,2769127,2012-10-31,3461155,Casey,"We rented this space while we were in town for the comic con, happening at the convention center. It's a nicely spacious, well kept place with all the amenities, and it's well within walking distance of the convention center, downtown, and tons of other fun things. The dogs that live there are cool, too. We would definitely rent this place again, especially since we didn't get enough of Austin our first time!"
5456,2806038,2012-11-05,3150104,Susan,"Awesome place, great location. Sylvia has obviously put a lot of thought into stocking the little apartment. I didn't do much more than sleep there, but will definitely try and book again next time I stay the night in Austin. "
5456,3080301,2012-12-12,4344292,Rachel,"This apartment is cosy, well-looked after and a fairly short walk from town. The neighborhood is pleasant and has character, especially after dark in December when all the Christmas lights are on. Sylvia was a good host, friendly but not overbearing, and gave some great tips about vegetarian restaurants (I ate like 7 cupcakes at Mr Natural) and other things to do in the city. One tip - the house is fairly close to the freeway, so if you're not a city person you might like to bring earplugs."
5456,3102507,2012-12-17,3323215,Adam,This is a wonderful space and Sylvia is a great host. If you have an event at the convention center it would be hard to find a place (besides the overpriced hotels) that is closer. I walked to my event every day. Sylvia was often in the yard maintaing her beautiful landscaping and was very nice to talk with. Do yourself a favor and do not pass this place up!
5456,3199722,2012-12-31,925981,Sophie,"Sylvia is a great host, she is friendly and communication was easy despite our arriving hours late because of delayed and canceled flights. The apartment is clean and has everything you need. Sylvia gave us a lot of good suggestions for places to see, interesting neighborhoods and good restaurants. The apartment is in walking distance of downtown and East 6th and very close to buses that can take you to SoCo and Zilker park, etc. I recommend Sylvia's apartment highly and would stay here again if ever I'm back in Austin. "
5456,3376719,2013-01-20,4362520,Gretchen,"Sylvia's cottage was clean and convenient to 6th St, trails, and Austin attractions.  Sylvia was a nice host and provided plenty of guide books and suggestions.  I would suggest renting bikes from Austin Bike Tours & Rentals and asking for Keith- excellent service and they even deliver and pick-up! "
5456,3397231,2013-01-22,3686784,Meredith,"Sylvia was a great hostess. The cottage was very clean, conveniently located and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with a wine opener which is always nice. Sylvia had great suggestions and was very helpful during our stay in Austin. If you have the opportunity to stay here then definitely take it!"
5456,3456464,2013-02-01,2533185,Rudy,Overpriced downtown hotels were all booked. Just needed a place to sleep and shower between meetings and this unit and location worked perfectly for that.  Sylvia kept in touch with me by text and was there when I arrived.  The unit is behind her house which makes this unit very private but the host is just a door knock or text away if ou need her. I was able to walk to my first dinner at Max's WIne Dive in downtown.   Great location plus every comfort I needed including free netflix and internet. Would reccomend and book this unit again.  
5456,3501467,2013-02-09,4452257,Arnie,Great location. Loved the little things in the lodging to make it feel like a home. Nice and clean and comfy beds.
5456,3579783,2013-02-19,951202,Megan,Great apartment! Great location! Great host! 
5456,3610164,2013-02-26,3186103,Amanda,"Had a wonderful stay, and Sylvia was really great about giving us info to get around and then leaving us to own devices.  Apartment was nicely equipped, and walking to convention center was easy."
5456,3725776,2013-03-08,5295248,Chiv,"For anyone planning activities in downtown Austin, this is a fantastic alternative to staying in a hotel.  Private, comfortable, and very conveniently located.  It really was a 10 minute walk to the convention center, and when I was lazy, only a $5 cab ride back.  Even with my schedule not permitting me to meet Sylvia in person, she made sure I had everything I needed for a great stay.

This was such a great find!"
5456,3830887,2013-03-19,3086237,Jim,"Great location for SXSW. With that said, it is right by the highway so it is a bit loud. The interior is nice, bright, and cozy. Only real weak spot was that the bed was a a bit small and un-supportive for this guy who is 6 ""3""."
5456,3889758,2013-03-25,5067535,Susan,"I had a wonderful time at Sylvia's place.  The location was ideal for my meetings at the Hilton, a 10 min. walk every morning. The apt. was fully stocked with everything I needed and more!  I felt safe, comfortable and secure the entire time I was there.  Will definitely stay there again when in Austin!"
5456,3949613,2013-03-30,5199445,Diana,"Our stay at Sylvia's place was great.  The apartment was very clean and comfortable.  It was exactly what we expected from the pictures and description.  We had cold weather the week we were in Austin, so I very much appreciated the extra blankets and heating/airconditioning unit.  When my allergies started and I needed to stay in, I was thankful I could watch documentaries on Netflix all day.  The neighborhood is quirky, with a few nice spots, like Cenote and an artists' book store just a stone's throw away.  We walked and biked everywhere from this convenient location."
5456,4075898,2013-04-08,4865225,Kristine,"My husband and I visited Austin to attend a friend's wedding this past weekend. Sylvia's place was absolutely perfect for us. It was very close to downtown and had everything we needed. The place was very clean, well-lit, the perfect temperature, and super cozy. Right around the corner from the location is a yummy vegan food truck, a new espresso counter, and a quaint cafe with good breakfast items (Cenote). I highly recommend Sylvia's place."
5456,4255225,2013-04-22,4266381,Kathleen,"Sylvia's place was great. My sister and I were in Austin for a workshop and wanted to stay near downtown. Sylvia's place is in a convenient location just east of downtown (across the highway). The apartment itself was really cozy.

PROS
• The sheets / bedding were really nice and clean 
• The bathroom was clean and stocked 
• We stayed when the weather was pretty mild but the space was easy to heat / cool 
• Sylvia was very inviting and helpful to any questions we had 
• The price was great compared to hotels and other AirBnB options

Thanks, Sylvia! "
5456,4334707,2013-04-29,4955374,Susan,We were in Austin for a family wedding and this was an ideal place for us to stay. We were able to find street parking for our rental car at no charge and very close (usually right in front) of our lodging. The space was clean and comfortable and very thoughtfully appointed. The collection of guidebooks and maps was particularly helpful to us. We were able to walk all over downtown Austin and had a great stay. 
5456,4390617,2013-05-02,5264440,Libba,"quite the beauty, lovely spot, super convenient! sylvia is a sweetheart"
5456,4446452,2013-05-06,2592713,Shaun,Loved this place. Cute and cozy (why can't I find pillows like this?) in a great neighborhood with everything  close by. We didn't rent a car and it was no problem.  So many great restaurants and lots of bars. Relaxing and lovely place to stay.
5456,4846112,2013-05-28,2535430,Kyle,"This was a wonderful separate guest house located just off of 1st/Caesar Chavez St.  The grounds were gorgeous, and it really felt like you had all the privacy in the world.  The area was silent, and we had no problem getting a good nights sleep.

Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and there were lots of neat little touches, like the fun shower stall.  Sylvia also had WIFI and Netflix/HBO available for those needing a bit of entertainment.

Sylvia's place is located very conveniently close to some amazing food spots.  It's easily walkable to some very tasty indian food!

Sylvia's place was a great experience, and we really enjoyed our stay there!"
5456,4882775,2013-05-30,1466977,Olivier,"Charming spot where we spent 2 nigths and hopefully we'll be back soon. 
Sylvia is a very nice host and she instantly gives the mood about ""life in Austin"". 
Thanks"
5456,4961842,2013-06-04,735081,Jesse,My girlfriend and I stayed at Sylvia's for 4 nights.  We had a lovely time and Sylvia was an amazing host.  The guest house is cozy and welcoming with plenty of space for a couple.  I would happily stay at Sylvia's again if she'd have me.
5456,5049313,2013-06-10,5272396,Sara,"My husband and I stayed at Sylvia's for a long weekend and had a great time. It was so nice to have cold beer waiting in the refrigerator upon our arrival!
Sylvia thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. We didn't need anything (including a band-aid!) that wasn't in the apartment already. She is truly the hostess with the mostess - right down to composting our carrot tops!
I spoke at a conference near the convention center and we didn't rent a car but took a city bus from the airport and all around Austin. The bus system worked out well but the bus information online isn't completely accurate. Sylvia has maps and bus information to use in the apartment as well. It's very close to the Rainey Street bars and you can easily walk to them.
We really enjoyed our stay in Austin and as avid home swappers, had never tried AirBnB but the experience was great.
Thank you, Sylvia! "
5456,5190463,2013-06-17,6635056,Alison,Sylvia's place was great! I came in for a wedding and was close to everything! If you want somewhere that is really nice and affordable I would highly recommend this place! 
5456,5561244,2013-07-06,6570364,Nishant,"We had a lovely week long stay. The location is very convenient and we really did not need a car for most of that time. Almost everything worthwhile was within 1.5 mile radius. The apartment was very comfortable with all the amenities (except a working stove). There was also a Roku box unbelievably. A separate bed allowed our 2.5 year old sleep comfortably. Sylvia was always available and ready to help. Our daughter remembers the ""hotel home"" very fondly."
5456,5616656,2013-07-08,7025281,Michelle,"The rental was as advertised. Sylvia was friendly and pleasant to work with. We had a nice time and enjoyed being within walking distance of popular spots in Austin, such as Rainey Street, Congress bridge (to see the bats), and South Congress for shops and restaurants. "
5456,5671176,2013-07-10,5096653,Jason,The reservation was canceled 70 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5456,5799969,2013-07-16,7385532,Lesa,Great place to stay!  Convenient to everything!  Close enough to take a pedicab back from a night on the town if you don't feel like walking!
5456,6046509,2013-07-28,4276355,Erika,"My husband and I spent a week at Sylvia's apartment. We had business in Austin and Houston, and family to visit in both cities. The location was so convenient to our Austin activities, and the neighborhood is charming, funky and on the move. The apartment met our needs, and Sylvia was friendly, helpful and reliable.
She suggested we try Cenote on Cesar Chavez. What a great neighborhood spot! Coffee, draft beers and yummy sandwiches, salads and breakfast items. Thanks Sylvia!"
5456,6425456,2013-08-12,899680,Travis,"Sylvia's rental was the perfect little slice of Austin. From the first communication, she was welcoming and helpful with our weekend stay. "
5456,6630553,2013-08-19,7782962,Daniel,"Sylvia is great, the place is great, highly recommended.
"
5456,6920589,2013-08-30,8027355,Maia,"This place is the perfect spot for hiding out smack dab in the middle of the city! We are familiar with the neighborhood, so we felt quite at home here. It's such a comfortable place we even opted to stay in one night and watch netflix. Look forward to returning next time we visit Austin overnight.
"
5456,7265610,2013-09-13,2005955,Elaine,"The apartment at Sylvia's is really cute. And just as advertised. It is half a mile walk to the convention center and very easy for getting around downtown. It is in the back of her house and very quiet and secure. The kitchen is fully equipped (with the with the exception of the stove) and Sylvia is very accommodating and friendly. It was easy to arrange for checking and she was friendly and approachable. The apartment is clean, small but adorable; I had everything I needed: a clean bathroom, a comfortable bed, a coffee maker, chilled beer glasses in the freezer! Would definitely come back."
5456,7626637,2013-09-27,5930821,Angela,"Very cute & cosy place. Plenty of fresh soft towels, toiletries, air conditioning and ceiling fan. Apartment is above garage so it is sometimes noisy when the owners are opening or closing the doors and or working in there. Ironworks BBQ, which is just around the corner is a MUST try. It looks ordinary from outside but the good is delicious. Bus right around corner, very cheap & convenient. "
5456,7694938,2013-09-30,7743856,Reuben,"Sylvia was super cool and we loved staying at her place. We only wished we could have stayed longer. It feels very cosy and private there and had everything we needed. The apartment was indeed walking distance to everything we wanted to do, and a quick cab ride from the airport. Highly recommended. "
5456,7807188,2013-10-04,7137894,Wes,Great little one room place to stay when you need to be able to get downtown quickly. Walked everywhere that I needed to go. 
5456,8187155,2013-10-20,6885053,Darice,"A charming hide-away that is perfectly positioned to East Austin's more ""trendy"" hot spots.  Ideally located less than two blocks from a 17 bus line stop, which makes downtown Austin a breeze to get to and CHEAP!  Coming from Atlanta, public transportation is never reliable, convenient, nor affordable, but my husband and I found Austin's CapMetro system a great transportation option for our short visit.

The garage apartment itself was very inviting with a light airy living space, a well-appointed kitchen, and a clean, compact bathroom.  And the bed ... arguably one of the most comfortable I have ever laid my head on ... slept soundly each night!

We would definitely stay again on our next trip to Austin!"
5456,8296374,2013-10-24,8658398,Nicole,"Such a great space! The guesthouse was super clean and had everything we needed. Just down the road from some great coffee and delicious breakfast tacos. Walked to South Congress, East 6th Street, UT Campus, even down to a restaurant on South First. Best of all, super close to Rainey Street, which for us was far more fun than 6th Street."
5456,8364942,2013-10-28,5087944,Jackie,"Although I didn't see a lot of Sylvia during my stay for the Austin Film Festival, it was a great spot - private, pretty and clean. 

There's a new coffee spot literally around the corner with superb coffee - and the iHop across the road for yummy and filling breakfasts. 

Walking distance to Downtown was about 20 mins but doable. 

Thanks Sylvia!"
5456,8494766,2013-11-02,9596017,Caroline,Sylvia's place was great for a quick trip to Austin! It was easy to get to and from places and came with food recommendations that were close by. I felt very safe and stay again! Thanks Sylvia! 
5456,8602878,2013-11-07,8075713,Jay,"The place was a cute little self contained cottage at the back of the host's garden. It had everything we needed and was well supplied with things we may have needed if we had stayed longer (ie kitchen supplies books etc). 

The location was reasonably good. We walked everywhere once we arrived. The one detriment was the noticeable (but tolerable) freeway noise. 

We did not get to meet the hosts but they left us excellent instructions on getting in and getting settled."
5456,8687873,2013-11-12,597498,Mona,"Sylvia's apartment was beautiful, clean, and cozy.  It had all the amenities you could ever want, including coffee / coffeemaker, hairdryers, wifi, and a Roku with Netflix and HBO Go!  I couldn't ask for a more comfortable stay away from home.  Sylvia was also very sweet and accommodating.  I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in a convenient downtown Austin location.  "
5456,8763637,2013-11-16,9992619,Maia,The reservation was canceled 201 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5456,8846169,2013-11-21,1180921,Maggie,Sylvia's place was great! She was very friendly and the location was awesome. I walked to the convention center with no problem. Would stay there again. 
5456,8896091,2013-11-25,8284006,Janina,"Great Accommodation - cute, comfortable, very clean and super location (walking distance to city center ).
Sylvia was very accomodating and helpful in giving tips for what to do in Austin. 
I can highly reccommend Sylvias place"
5456,9018221,2013-12-02,8661016,Emily,This was a great spot for walking to the trendy Rainey Street during our stay! The apartment was great and accommodated our stay for a short weekend nicely. Communication with the host was non existent and we showed up hoping we would have a place to stay. We were lucky to show up right when the host came home and gave us a tour and a key. 
5456,9104411,2013-12-07,10133608,Danika,"My boyfriend and I had an excellent stay in Sylvia's apartment. The location can't be beat. We were able to easily walk to 6th Street and Rainey Street. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and cozy. We will definitely recommend Sylvia's to friends and family and will stay there again in the future if we get the chance. Thanks!"
5456,9249307,2013-12-16,2974026,Angela,"Cute spot, close to the convention center and easy access to lots of things - plus close to the freeway if you are going farther afield. Everything was clean, neat and charming. Sylvia was a great host and good communication throughout. If I come back this way I will definitely stay again. "
5456,9771151,2014-01-09,892818,Alexander,sylvia's place worked out well for us. 
5456,9851475,2014-01-14,2005061,Keisha,"Clean room, quick 15min ride from the airport. Sylvia gave us some good insight to the city and things to do :)"
5456,9887386,2014-01-17,9376724,Tina,"This place was perfect! Clean and Cozy and very comfortable.  Close enough to walk all over town, easy access to city bus to get to south congress shopping area, and inside parking area for car2go services which we used a lot.  Has kitchen if you need it and full bathroom, even netflix for the lazy night we had.  Our flight out was late and Sylvia kindly let us keep our bags there until well after check out time.  Glad we didn't get a hotel and would recommend this place to anyone looking for fun and accessibility downtown Austin."
5456,10038098,2014-01-27,10265066,Cecilia,"Sylvia's place was cozy and perfectly located for us. The sheets smelled wonderful and she even had a stash of feminine products in case the need should arise! We left on a sunny day in Wichita but were greeted by sleet on a slippery two lane backed up highway between Waco and Austin. One of the worst drives ever with many accidents. 

Sylvia expected us at 8:30 but we made it at 11pm due to the inclement weather. She was so kind to get up and show us in and she even made sure the space heater in the bathroom was running! I love her collection of Fiesta in the kitchen area. 

We came to town for a convention and the Austin Convention Center was a very close walk across Cesar Chavez under I35. We love Austin and plan to come back. I hope we can stay at Sylvia's!"
5456,10123501,2014-02-01,11339756,Mary,"Sylvia was a great host.  She was prompt and prepared for our early evening arrival.  She provided us with tips for events around town that related to our interests.  And, she shared some great insights into the history of Austin that brightened our overall experience! "
5456,10339620,2014-02-14,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"Sylvia was a great host with a lovely garage apartment in a great neighborhood in Austin. View of the city skyline, peaceful back yard, walkable to great coffee/drinks/food, etc. You couldn't ask for a better place to stay, given the rate. Thanks, Sylvia!"
5456,10454058,2014-02-19,5934729,Polly,"Sylvia was absolutely wonderful. I can't say enough good things. Her place was amazing and she was the absolute nicest. She even printed concert tickets out for us when we realized we had forgotten. If I'm ever back in Austin, which I probably will be, I know where I'll stay!"
5456,10506273,2014-02-22,4016930,Rachel,"Sylvia's place is in a great location on a quiet street in East Austin. The apartment had everything that I needed and Sylvia was available to answer any questions. I highly recommend this apartment, plus it could comfortably fit at least three people. "
5456,11528336,2014-04-07,9707992,Robert,Very nice place at a great location. We really enjoyed our stay.
5456,11675508,2014-04-11,1780157,Edward,"Sylvia was an excellent, friendly host who explained how tv, remotes, and ac worked.  The studio apartment was even better than I expected.  Neighborhood is great, with coffee shops, food trucks, and interesting people.  Excellent location, close to downtown, bike shop within a mile.  Total satisfaction. "
5456,11736850,2014-04-14,11279539,Rebecca,"I stayed here with my friend on a weekend trip and it was perfect. It's walkable to Rainey street, Downtown and East 6th street, and to the bat viewing area by Congress Bridge. It was in a nice quiet neighborhood and we had our own side entrance through the garden. Sylvia was friendly and welcoming, and offered great tips on places nearby. It was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Comfy beds and cute style made it even better. I'd definitely recommend it!"
5456,11997947,2014-04-21,11689445,Olivia,"Sylvia's place was just lovely. It is in a great central location, walkable to East 6th, the waterfront trails, Reiny street and downtown. She was very welcoming and incredibly accommodating. The unit has everything you will need. She has a few sweet dogs but we didn't hear them barking at all. Overall a really great place to stay! Totally comfortable and a good home base. Thanks Sylvia!"
5456,12172008,2014-04-25,5383126,Matthew,Sylvia was a great host and was very accommodating. The place was easy to find and close to the downtown area. We were very happy with her setup and the condition of the property.  
5456,12272137,2014-04-28,11880494,Tulna,Great stay in a lovely place. Very close to get to Rainey street which was ideal for us but a little out of the way for cabs and other transport so I'd advise having a car to get around if you want to explore wider austin. Would recommend and would stay again! 
5456,12718890,2014-05-09,11935349,Anna,"We had a lovely stay in Sylvia's guesthouse. The space was clean and comfortable, tucked back in her green garden. Very convenient location. Thank you!"
5456,12774686,2014-05-11,7213982,Sayuri,"The house is very beautiful and cozy! The room is large and comfortable. The kitchen and the bathroom very ok! All you need to spend some days in Austin. We felt very safe there. There were maps, travel books, cable tv and more. Sylvia is very kind! "
5456,12984553,2014-05-16,3831108,Brett,Sylvia offers a private bedroom with kitchen and bath separate from the main house and situated above a storage unit around back of the house. She was very accommodating and stored my luggage early in the morning before move-in. Location is w/in easy walk of the convention center (must go under the freeway bridge) and situated next to several B-cycle drop spots (how i got around the city.. google it). Amenities: Cenote coffee/wine bar. Rainy Street bars/food.
5456,13135782,2014-05-20,5804940,Jenn,"The apartment was exactly as described.  The host was super friendly and was available when we arrived and when we had questions throughout our stay.  The room was exactly what we needed for our weekend getaway.  It was in close proximity to Rainey street.  The apartment had everything you needed and then some - shampoo, conditioner, suntan lotions, beach towels, bandaids, nail polish remover, maps, city guides, etc.  I echo the other reviews in saying it was a great place to stay!"
5456,13233651,2014-05-22,14491003,Vanessa,Wonderful experience! Location was central and perfect. Place was adorable and comfortable. Host was extremely accommodating and hospitable. Would highly recommend this place. 
5456,13409300,2014-05-27,9223012,Nicholas And Remy,"The appartment is very well located in Austin, though remaining very quiet. Sylvia was the perfect hostess and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Would 100% recommend"
5456,13616813,2014-06-01,49022,Sarah,Sylvia was a fantastic host - helpful and knowledgeable - and the property is in a great location. 
5456,13736744,2014-06-03,12313430,Edward,"Sylvia's place is great, with everything you'd need and in a quiet neighbourhood that you can pretty much walk anywhere from. It's especially close to Rainey Street and not far from 6th. SoCa is walkable or a quick drive.

There was no breakfast provided, sadly, but plenty of places nearby. 

Sylvia was a good host and happy to leave us to it. I'd definitely recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin."
5456,15025419,2014-07-01,10084188,Eileen,"Sylvia was very nice, showed me around the apartment and made sure I had her contact information in case I needed assistance of any kind.

The apartment was just as shown, clean and well kept.  All that I needed in the way of kitchen needs was available.  The local bus is just around the corner and the home is an easy 10 minute walk to downtown.

thank you Sylvia!"
5456,15388173,2014-07-08,12263538,Mari,"Staying at Sylvia's was one of the best experiences I've had while traveling. My friend and I could've have asked for a better place to stay when we were in Austin and it really helped make our trip ten times better. The place matched the pictures exactly and it was very welcoming. Sylvia herself was great, letting us know of top places to visit while in the city and helping us get settled in. It was an awesome place to come back to at the end of the day, especially since it was so close to everything as well. I will definitely come back here if I'm ever in the Austin area again."
5456,15784638,2014-07-15,17410577,Charlotte,"Great private space in the heart if Austin- nicely furnished, super location, clean, easy to access and quiet street for parking. Thanks!"
5456,16219318,2014-07-23,1820288,Jacqueline & Benjamin,"My husband and I had a great 3 night stay at Sylvia's apartment above her back garage. The studio was well decorated and clean, and it was spacious enough to feel like a home away from home. The air conditioning kept us cool during the heat of the Texas summer. The location was a short walk to the convention center though I did find we spent more time on the opposite side of the convention center and I probably would not have felt comfortable walking back alone at night past the highway. The only negative to report about our stay was that our box of cereal got infested with a ton of super tiny (harmless) black ants so I wouldn't recommend keeping food outside the refrigerator until something is done to remedy that situation."
5456,16520506,2014-07-28,18568122,Felipe,"Sylvia was a wonderful host...quick to respond and very accommodating! We got in town late in the evening (10pm) and Sylvia still greeted us with a warming tour of the gorgeous little apartment. The apartment is well decorated, cozy, and very comforting. It's also complete with a full kitchen. Which comes in handy for long stays where eating out could get costly! Sylvia also had maps and suggestions for the area, as well as a tv with Netflix and Hulu. The location itself couldnt be better...just a short 5-10 minute walk to Rainey street!
The apartment itself was pretty amazing and was definitely the icing on our trip. We will definitely be back!


Thanks for a great stay Sylvia!"
5456,16750775,2014-08-01,18892039,Erica,"We had an awesome experience at Sylvia's place! The location was perfectly located 5 mins from everything! The house was so adorable and Sylvia thought of everything you could need in the apartment! This was our first time using air BnB and thanks to this experience, we will definitely be using it from now on! "
5456,16874739,2014-08-03,13566004,Ellen,"The space was as advertised - clean and comfortable, albeit minus a working stove/oven (which Sylvia clearly states on her page). The apartment is totally separate from the main house, which means there is a lot of privacy. I only ran into Sylvia once, and we had a nice chat while her dogs were playing in the yard. The kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea and had beer glasses in the freezer ready to go. The location is great - very close to downtown! There is also lots of parking space near the house, so no worries on that front if you have a car. The only slight disappointment was that the wifi was out the first night we were there (Sylvia let me know about a day beforehand), although it was working by the second night. Overall, I would happily recommend Sylvia's place."
5456,17015216,2014-08-05,8553806,Megan,My cousin and I  took a girls trip to Austin. We loved staying at Sylvia's place for the weekend ! The location was great and the cottage was so cute. Sylvia suggested Barton springs which was the perfect thing to do in august.  We loved the back yard and being surrounded by trees and foliage. Overall it was a wonderful stay. 
5456,17388184,2014-08-11,18746599,Kary,"Sylvia's place was great - the process was convenient because she's very responsive.  The apartment is super close to downtown and street parking was not a problem (the block isn't busy so there are lots of spots open).  Clean, air conditioned (which was amazing when it was 100+ degrees out), and good for a couple friends traveling together. "
5456,17547092,2014-08-13,19733027,Scott,"Perfect accommodation, as described. We had a great time in Austin! "
5456,17827296,2014-08-18,5943040,Gail,"The location was great for our interests. (If you are in as a tourist, map out what you want to see and you may find the less-commercialized delights are in this area.) The place is colorful and charming, upstairs above an old carriage house or at least an early free-standing garage from the early days of the horseless carriage.  If you have mobility problems the stairs and tub would be a challenge, but for the able-bodied urban adventurer, this is a nice nest. We had a little confusion at the start when Sylvia was not near her phone at arrival time, but it all worked out, as she helped us out in assorted ways and went out of her way to make our stay great.  As others have noted, the stove does not work, but there is a microwave and a toaster oven, and Austin is a fabulous food town.  The Roku and wireless connection are not 100% dependable at night, so it helps to get your internet fix in earlier.  We had a very good time."
5456,18028475,2014-08-20,3683833,Martin,"My girlfriend and I had a great stay at Sylvia's place, very recommendable airbnb location! The neighborhood itself is great and 6th street in walkable distance or a 5 mins drive. "
5456,18154290,2014-08-22,7386137,Jennifer,My stay was perfect - even tried to extend my holiday! Very need is considered. Location is great! Sylvia is a fantastic host. 
5456,18411580,2014-08-26,297647,Karis,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Sylvia's place. The location was superb (we went to downtown everyday - it was so closeby!!), place was clean and the Sylvia was very responsive. We have already recommended our friend who is traveling to Austin to stay at this place! "
5456,19214599,2014-09-08,19750336,Toni Lacey,It was very welcoming. Very nice setup. In a good neighborhood. Beds where comfortable.
5456,19680873,2014-09-16,19358922,Garrett,"The location was perfect for sight seeing and discovering all the cool things Austin has to offer.  The room was clean, comfortable and super cute!  Sylvia was very easy to work with.  We would definitely come back.  XOXO From CO"
5456,20144092,2014-09-24,14079049,Jen,"My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon and loved it! Sylvia is very nice and the place is just lovely. You walk through a beautiful garden to the rental which is clean, comfortable, and convenient. It was so cozy and included streaming movies, beach towels, coffees, teas, parking, etc. We easily got downtown via a short bus ride and also walked one night. It's also a short ride to the Barton Springs area. We would stay here again!"
5456,20428273,2014-09-29,1813096,Aaron,"Sylvia was a wonderful host. She responded to questions in a timely manner. Sylvia was able to provide additional info on a grocery store near by plus area attractions & festivals that were going on during the weekend. 

The photos & descriptions of Sylvia's place are very accurate. The place is located in the back yard of the main house so you enjoy total privacy. The neighborhood is a historic area with nicely restored older homes. At night, the neighborhood is quiet - so no crazy or loud neighbors to deal with. The place was clean, organized, and well stocked. Only had to pick up a few groceries. Coffee & tea were provided. The garden patio was a relaxing and welcome oasis on the edge of downtown. 

The place is about a 5 minute walk to Rainey St, less than a 5 minute walk to some food trucks, less than a 15 minute walk to ACL Live (Moody Theater), and about a 10 minute walk to 6th Street. Everything seemed to be within walking distance. The place is about a block or so away from 1st street (Cesar Chavez) and near the IH-35 freeway access road. Thankfully, it is far enough away so you don't hear road noise from freeway.  

When planning my next trip to Austin, I will be checking first to see if Sylvia's place is available.   "
5456,20811743,2014-10-06,15714962,Renae,We had a wonderful weekend in Sylvia's guesthouse while in Austin for ACL. It was so nice to have a private space to ourselves that was within walking distance of the downtown area. Even better was the relatively cool weather for our outdoor weekend!
5456,22287885,2014-11-03,4610127,Quynh,"Location to walk downtown was perfect and very convenient.  Sylvia was very helpful, though we really didn't see her at all, even though her house was a few feet away from the cottage.  The apartment is much darker than I expected, though it was a quant cottage feel."
5456,22768604,2014-11-14,8157162,TuesD,"Sylvia was amazing!  I loved staying here and the location was perfect to walk to Rainey Street or East 6th.  The unit was adorable, clean, hot water was great and I felt like I had everything I needed.  I loved the neighborhood and would highly recommend the drinks at Cenote and the vegan reuben at the food truck less than a block away.  I also would recommend walking to Grackle, Whislers, Liberty and The White Horse.  I live in the city and walk all the time so it wasn't an issue for me.  

I would also recommend walking to South Congress (about 2 miles) and checking everything out.  A bit of a food desert in terms of groceries so be prepared but LOTS OF BARS AND FOOD TRUCKS!  I loved everything about my stay.

Sylvia was super accommodating, helped us make up the bed for another friend, and even found us gloves.  She is a wonderful host and pretty much helps if you need it but gives you privacy and space.

The place is perfect as it is a separate unit located in the backyard with a separate entrance and complete privacy.

If you don't have fun in Austin something is wrong with you and this place is the perfect place to make your home base.

I'm just jealous I don't live there myself.
"
5456,22886498,2014-11-17,7289400,Nichole,"Sylvia's place was perfect...cozy, quiet and private, with easy access to downtown. I would definitely stay here again!"

5456,23435332,2014-12-01,10492857,Holly,"My husband and I traveled to Austin for a three day weekend and we loved our experience staying at Sylvia's little apartment. Sylvia was a great host. She was friendly and graciously accommodated a last minute guest addition. She was also helpful in orienting us to the area and suggesting fun activities.

 The apartment was exactly as described: clean, easy to find, and includes a great kitchenette complete with coffee maker and all the dishes you could possibly need.  We loved how close we were to everything downtown; you are just a short walk or drive away from 6th street food and bars, boardwalk on the water and all kinds of food options. If we go back to Austin, we would definitely stay at this AirBNB again! "
5456,24232075,2014-12-23,23113846,Carly,"I really enjoyed staying here! My boyfriend and I were only in town for a couple of nights, and it helped to be staying in such a centrally located area. Sylvia was very kind and had the space prepared very comfortably for us upon our arrival. Wifi, hbogo and Netflix were a plus. There were clean towels, fresh water, tea, coffee, etc.

There isn't much else to say other than that the bed was cozy, Sylvia was really nice, and we were within walking distance to most places we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again! It was my first airbnb experience and I'm glad it was such a positive one."
5456,24525826,2014-12-30,1580549,Megan,"Sylvia's place was a wonderful, clean, bright place to stay for four nights on our first trip to Austin. The apartment was very comfortable and well located to walk to the downtown area, 6th Street, Rainey Street, and East Austin. We also used the bus system and Car2Go easily from this location. Check-in was easy, and we had no problems during the stay!"
5456,24848212,2015-01-03,1797151,Rob,"Pretty apartment that was the perfect location to explore Austin. Conveniently located close to downtown, East Austin, and Rainey Street, the apartment was in a quite residential area with ample street parking. Apartment was very clean and had all of the amenities listed. Sylvia was always available for questions.

It was not an issue for us, but please be advised that there are large dogs in the main house that you may see/hear in the back yard on your way to the apartment."
5456,25167481,2015-01-08,19849,Jacqueline,"Nice place! Clean, quiet, comfortable. Close to Rainey St and Down Towm. Sylvia answered our questions fast. I will stay there next time I go to Austin."
5456,25319098,2015-01-12,24674360,John,Really enjoyed our stay! It was my wife and I's second wedding anniversary and we really wanted to have a good home base here in Austin. Sylvia gave great advice on things to do and we loved that we could walk to bars/restaurants. This was our first airbnb and we will definitely be doing this again. Thanks Sylvia! 
5456,25668441,2015-01-22,26086970,Ilya,"Sylvia was great! Although I didn't get to see her much, she was very accommodating when my travel plans got delayed. She was able to let us into the apartment very late and it was a nice end to a long travel day. Sylvia was very responsive in our communications. She has dogs that where around when we were coming and going a few times but they were very friendly. The location was great, which allowed me to walk many of the places I was trying to go. There was also on street parking that was convenient."
5456,26049966,2015-02-02,1397288,Kai,Checkin was easy and straight to the point . Location was very nice- 5min walk to convention center and 15 min walk to other point of interests. 
5456,26351774,2015-02-10,21901522,Brendan,"Sylvia was a great host. She was kind and very welcoming from the moment she let us into her home. She supplied us with ample reading material about Austin, fresh sheets and covers and a supply of ramen in case we got hungry.

This was our first airbnb experience so we didn't know what to expect but luckily our host put our fears to rest. The room itself was clean and cosy with two beds. The location was great, it took about 10 minutes to walk to the popular 6th street area. I would recommend this place to stay for people who are interested in checking our what Austin has to offer"
5456,26591668,2015-02-16,24161219,Sarah,"We enjoyed our stay so much. It's in the perfect location. Easy to walk into the downtown area, Rainey St, and East Austin. 
The apartment is nice and clean. Felt more like home than anything else. I highly recommend it. "
5456,26972872,2015-02-23,22890318,Rebecca,Sylvia was a wonderful host. There when needed and unobtrusive the rest of the time. The quaint apartment was just as advertised and the short walk to the convention center and downtown was invigorating.. Couldn't have asked for more. If Austin is a destination in the future I will definitely return to this great place!
5456,27257562,2015-03-01,18467150,Suzan,"We had a great visit in Austin, just wished the weather was warmer! The place was great and very conducive to walking around since we didn't rent a car. Uber also worked out really well for us. The room was very comfortable and it was nice to have to roku for streaming.  Would definitely recommend! "
5456,27808138,2015-03-12,3793445,Lucy,Sylvia was great. She was there to greet me when i arrived. And the apartment was ideally located for SXSW - a 7 minute walk from the convention center!
5456,28162363,2015-03-19,26122108,Josh,"I really enjoyed my stay here. Sylvia was very accommodating and communicative. It's a kitschy space and had everything I needed for my SXSW stay. Most of my colleagues were at the JW Marriott and it was less than a 10 minute walk to that hotel and even less to the convention center and Rainey street. 

While I didn't spend much time in the apartment, the access to Netflix and HBO GO, through Roku, was a welcome amenity, as was the coffee. It's also a block away from a spot that sells vegan rueben's! If you're into that sort of thing, which I am. 

Sylvia's place is great for 1-2 people who need a place to hang their hat while they enjoy the spoils of Austin. 

My only caveat is that if you're tall (I'm 6'1) the bed and shower will be a little tight for you. That said, that small potatoes in the grand scheme of things and wouldn't impact my decision to stay with Sylvia again. 
"
5456,28322259,2015-03-22,7677286,Stephen,"Sylvia made me feel very at home and the place has lots of creature comforts - lots of paid TV channels, books, music, wifi - however there's no time to use them as there's so much going on downtown, which is excellently only a short walk away.

I didn't realise the place was a little apartment out the back of Sylvia's home, however it was very cool and made it easy to come and go at any time of day or night.

I'd definitely recommend staying at Sylvia's home, both for the lovely, homely feel and for the excellent location and access to all the 'weird' excitement downtown."
5456,28991337,2015-04-02,1814708,Alex,"Listing perfectly represented the space and the backyard was even more beautiful than expected!  We were a 15 minute walk away from Congress Bridge and within jumping distance of a handful of cute cafes and veg restaurants.   The homey touches such as the ramen, coffee and copious toiletries made the place feel even more like home.  Can't recommend this spot enough if you're looking for a place that is accessible to the downtown area."
5456,29094589,2015-04-04,15423029,Kendra,Sylvia was friendly and welcoming.  The apartment was just as pictured/described.  Everything was neat and clean.  We enjoyed being able to walk almost everywhere that we needed to go - great location!  We especially enjoyed Cenote - just a couple of blocks around the corner on Caesar Chavez.
5456,29420852,2015-04-07,13451408,Jamie,"Sylvia was incredibly responsive previous to our arrival via text in regards to check-in. Additionally, she was very welcoming showing us around the space and telling us about good attractions near her place (as well as warning us about areas to be cautious of). The space was great! We had our own living quarters behind the house, which allowed us to come and go as needed without feeling like we could be disturbing Sylvia. The bathroom and kitchen were stocked with all necessities. We loved the decor - it was very cozy and inviting; at times, it was difficult to venture out because we were so comfortable. That being said, when we did venture out, we did most of our exploring by foot. Great location! We could be at the trail for a jog, Rainy St. for a drink, or at one of the many nearby restaurants within 5 minutes. Highly recommend the place! You are lucky if it is available when you visit Austin. "
5456,30014659,2015-04-16,21593326,Zurine,"Sylvia was very helpful before and during our stay, answering all the questions and giving us tips on where to go and how to get around. She was also able to allow us to check in late which was very helpful. The place is on a great location, walking distance to 6th street and downtown and yet in a very quiet area. The apartment itself provides all you need for a comfortable stay.  Would definitely recommend"
5456,30283232,2015-04-20,10042306,Stacy,"This carriage house close to 6th street and the convention center (but more importantly all the great places on Rainey St & the east side) was very cute and just what we needed for the stay! We didn't actually meet Sylvia (which was just fine by me as I appreciated the privacy), but she seemed very accommodating and was happy to meet us and help us get settled if we needed it. I was in town for a wedding and the place had everything a hotel would have: iron/ironing board, shampoo, etc., plus a big closet, fridge, and dishes. "
5456,30501159,2015-04-23,6287625,Dan,Adorable space in a perfect location! Apartment is as sunny and clean as the pictures show. Went for a girls weekend and this was the perfect place. Centrally located- easy to get to every part of town. Sylvia was lovely and very accommodating. Would  definitely stay again. 
5456,30932431,2015-04-29,268730,Nerissa,"The place was wonderful. It was quiet and secluded in the back of the house. It had everything necessary for a comfortable stay. It's  walking distance to incredible Indian food. I hope I get to stay here in the future. Sylvia is a wonderful person, and I was lucky enough to catch lunch with her one day of my stay. I highly recommend this place."
5456,31082421,2015-05-01,31873025,Andy,WOW!  Sylvia and her home are awesome.  She was beyond gracious as my arrival time got delayed multiple times and even offered to pick me up dinner.  Her home is exactly as it appears in the photos and was beyond convenient for me as I was attending a conference downtown.  Can not recommend this listing any higher.  Thank you Sylvia!
5456,31287340,2015-05-04,12828800,Michael,I felt extremely welcome and the place was as advertised.  Perfect location for us.
5456,31586607,2015-05-07,4941852,Jean,"Sylvia was a very gracious, helpful host.  Her place is private and in a good location for exploring Austin. "
5456,32046752,2015-05-13,25952255,Anne,"Perfect stay, Sylvia and her apartment are great! Perfect location which helped with being able to take full advantage of area!"
5456,32197010,2015-05-15,32231800,Marie,"Very central location! We were able to walk to and from the bars in Rainey street. All other car rides via Uber were inexpensive. The living space is completely private and comfortable. Only concern was that the room was a bit muggy and humid. Silvia is a great host, very nice and attentive. "
5456,32677679,2015-05-20,2066671,Kevin,"This was a great place to say in an exciting neighbourhood with many options for food, drink and entertainment. The apartment was clean and exactly as described and shown in the ad. Sylvia even chilled beer glasses for us before we arrived! The WiFi was fast and easy to get access to, and the multiple TV options (e.g. HBO Go, Roku) was a nice perk! 

Sylvia made our lives easy and getting access to the apartment when we arrived was simple and straightforward. Sylvia was also very responsive via email, and checked in multiple times to make sure we got into the apartment okay. 

An absolutely great place to stay while you're in Austin. I would recommend it to anyone and would definitely stay there again if we go back. Thanks Sylvia!"
5456,33078972,2015-05-25,6557879,Katie,"Our stay in Sylvia's rental was great! We ended up arriving much later than anticipated due to flash flooding/weather, but Sylvia was super accommodating and met us at the door WITH UMBRELLAS to show us into the apartment. Talk about service! The apartment is a guest house behind the main house and has a really lush green yard. Very cute! The inside is just as pictured and has everything you may need during your stay. The beds are small so tough for a couple to share unless you really like to cuddle ;) Overall, I'd definitely recommend staying with Sylvia. The location was great!"
5456,35652802,2015-06-21,22651070,Marc,"The perfect location for me, walkable to my conference at the Fair Market and into town as well. And the house is a real home from home. I appreciated the small touches, like the Roku and the fact there was an umbrella in the cupboard. Sylvia was really friendly and helpful. "
5456,36300228,2015-06-27,23824025,Shannon,Sylvia was a fabulous host! She gave us really good recommendations of places to eat and things to do. She's extremely welcoming and accommodating. The location of her place is amazing and so easy to walk around to restaurants/bars.  Sylvia was also so prepared with everything we needed! Awesome host :) 
5456,37554446,2015-07-08,5423849,S,"Sylvia met us when we arrived to give us the key and the grand tour. She was very helpful with any information I needed. The apartment is exactly like the photos: small (the size of a two-car garage), but cozy and comfortable. It's in a very quiet residential neighborhood, yet just a short walk from downtown. Very easy to get to the Convention Center, with more privacy and lower costs than a hotel! It was exactly what we needed for our stay."
5456,37812739,2015-07-10,37628023,Christina,"Although some may claim that Barton Springs is the crown jewel of Austin, we're pretty sure it's actually Sylvia's studio.  Located walking distance from great night life and restaurants on Rainey St. and 6th St., her place is a perfect location for exploring the city.  We also really enjoyed walking a few blocks to get B-Cycle bikes (for just $8 a day) to cruise Ladybird Lake and Zilker Park on a sunny afternoon. Sylvia was accommodating and welcoming.  I highly recommend this place. "
5456,39913563,2015-07-27,19443197,Theresa,"The loft's AC was set to a chilly 72 when we arrived and being 70% humidity it was a glorious way to walk in.  

The space was exactly was pictured and perfect for our group.  "
5456,40333226,2015-07-30,29948622,Sam,Had a great time! Place was just what we needed and a great little oasis in Austin. 
5456,40951414,2015-08-03,19851006,Elizabeth,Sylvia was very friendly and helpful! The cottage was perfect for our needs and we loved the location. Great little neighborhood and so fun to explore. We had everything we needed for a great weekend in Austin! Would absolutely recommend staying here.
5456,41923020,2015-08-10,28599319,Allie,Very convenient location. Sylvia was so helpful and made my first time in Austin super easy and fun!
5456,43635717,2015-08-21,37259674,Marc,Great location for a conference in Austin.  Quick walk to the conference center and found a fun little district on Rainey Street a stone's throw away.  Very comfortable and charming place with everything you need. Host was great to chat with and really liked the neighborhood a lot.  Definitely will try to stay here again.
5456,44435991,2015-08-26,36902544,Alison,"Great location with an easy 5-10min walk to downtown and even closer to Rainey Street. 
Sylvia was a great host and the room was exactly as promised with excellent aircon, wifi and TV if you want it!"
5456,44635302,2015-08-28,17642016,Rohan,"The private guesthouse is very well-stocked, designed, and maintained. Sylvia is a gracious host and very responsive. As everyone else has been saying, this is a great place to stay in Austin! "
5456,44988052,2015-08-30,34833492,Julia,"Sylvia made check in very easy.  The apartment was clean and just what we needed for the two night stay.  Best part about this place is the location, so close to Rainey st and the river.  We had a great time!"
5456,45781379,2015-09-06,3254855,Rachana,We really enjoyed our stay in Austin. The apartment is really close to downtown. Sylvia was very friendly and welcoming and made sure we had everything needed for a good trip. 
5456,46282376,2015-09-09,10642898,Doris,"Sylvia and her place was great! Perfect size for us (a couple). We had a rental car with us, so it was great to be able to park on her property-- but there was plenty to see/do within walking distance, including Rainey Street, 6th Street, the State Capitol, etc. Would recommend! "
5456,47155353,2015-09-16,2737030,Mehrzad,Great location and Sylvia did everything to make our stay comfortable. 
5456,47393404,2015-09-18,41952259,Michael,Sylvia and her place were great.  Had everything we needed and it was in a great location. 
5456,47752195,2015-09-21,42140870,Tatiana,"Felt very welcome, the place was perfect in location and very neat, clean, and well air-conditioned! Would absolutely come again and recommend highly!"
5456,48506153,2015-09-27,32541117,Rebecca,"Great location. Sylvia was very friendly and helpful, definitely recommend "
5456,48996175,2015-09-30,11378530,Katrina,Lovely and cute place to stay in quiet residential area. Had everything we needed and was walking distance to most attractions and places we wanted to visit. Sylvia was a great host and had everything ready for our arrival. 
5456,49239214,2015-10-02,9465294,Billy,"I had an amazing time staying here. They made the experience very welcoming with very little things that made the difference. Along with everything they described in their offering (which was very accurate) they went above and beyond with little things like a bowl of apples and oranges in the fridge. I definitely took advantage of that hospitality.

The place was very clean, air conditioned (it's Texas...necessity), very comfortable and in a great location to downtown.

I would stay here again given the opportunity to come back to Austin."
5456,51425099,2015-10-20,5972396,Kasey,Sylvia was very welcoming and gave us some great suggestions of places to go.  Her space was comfortable and clean and was a great location for us to be travelling around Austin. Would highly recommend it and will stay again next time we visit!
4222553,22277429,2014-11-02,23040648,Jatin,"Courtney made the entire experience of using her place extremely easy and I felt most welcome. She was extremely quick with her responses prior to arriving in Austin and very helpful in giving me any information that I needed. When I arrived she was already waiting there to hand me the keys and show me the place. She even made a little welcome basket with wine, chips, fruits etc. which I thought was amazing and even made a list of all her favourite places to visit in the area (Personally I think that's the mark of an awesome host). She was contactable at any time throughout the entire process. There was a slight issue with the shower temperature the next day and Courtney was extremely quick to get the maintenance guy over to check it out (he was there in about 15 minutes). Unfortunately it couldn't be fixed till the weekend was over but it wasn't too much of a problem and Courtney was great in trying to resolve the issue.

The listing description was to the tee and it's exactly as is shown in the pictures. It's a nice little house with everything that one would need and it was clean. The location is awesome if you're keen for the Austin nightlife as it's a minutes walk away from downtown 6th street. Around the house as well, there are a few gas stations and food places if you need anything. It's a funky little neighbourhood and I felt safe walking around there. It's just off the highway so it's very easy to get around Austin as well if you have a car. All in all, I would say the location was perfect for a first timer visiting Austin (If you're keen on the nightlife). 

I had a great stay at Courtney's place and would definitely stay there again the next time I visit Austin."
4222553,22552553,2014-11-09,1465177,Liz,"Courtney was a wonderful host. We didn't get to meet her personally, but she was very responsive and took great care of us. Her spot it in a great location with many of Austin's hot spots within blocks. Thanks for a great stay! "
4222553,24867146,2015-01-03,2097216,Rollence,"My wife and I have stayed at over eight AirBnB rentals in just 2014 alone varying in price and accommodations. This is the first time in all of our AirBnB history where a rental fell short of our expectations. While Courtney was very responsive in my communication with her, this review is mainly regarding the place and how our experience could have been improved:
1) Proper functioning shower. The temperature knob was extremely difficult to adjust and it eventually came apart leaving the water at one temperature setting only. The problem was reported on (phone number hidden) and the maintenance person came by 1/2/2015. Granted it was New Years during our stay, but the issue could have been looked at on 12/30 or 12/31. After the maintenance person came over to repair it, he mentioned it still needed a proper repair as it was still difficult to adjust the temperature. 
2) Bathroom window leaked water unto the floor after a rain. It rained quite a bit during our stay. 
3) No stove in the kitchen. The description of the place included a kitchen in the listing which according to AirBnb is ""Space where guests can cook their own meals."" The only way to cook in this kitchen was with the microwave or toaster oven. The listing should have mentioned that there was no stove. We found this to be odd since the rental was for an entire house.  From our experiences whether renting a shared room, apartment, or an entire house, the ability (or inability) to cook is disclosed.
4) No place to hang clothing. There were no closets or coat racks. Our jackets, dress shirts, dresses, etc. were left in our bags or spread out on furniture. There was a dresser drawer that my wife attempted to use only to discover her clothing to be covered in dust after taking them out. 
5) Very sparse furnishings not for the lack of space. While there was a sofa, there was no coffee table. There was only one mirror in the entire place (bathroom). While I appreciate minimalism, I also appreciate function, and the lack of furnishings made simple things like putting your coffee on a table or hanging your jacket more of an annoyance.
6) Bathroom lighting could be improved. The layout of the bathroom is designed in such a way that the sink area is recessed making it impossible for the only light in the bathroom to properly illuminate that area. 
7) Iron needs to be replaced.  There was some residue on the iron that when used, left my white dress shirt with blue stains. My dress shirt was permanently ruined. 

This place has potential to be great, however, until the above issues are addressed, we cannot recommend staying at this place.
"
4222553,25500732,2015-01-18,1940153,Dan,"Cute, quirky place in a cool part of town. Walking distance to some great bars, restaurants, food trucks and live music. Amazing gift basket waits you upon arrival. Recommended."
4222553,26447187,2015-02-13,10233396,Jonny,"First, I want to thank Rollence and Jatin for mentioning the shower issue. That was a concern for me since I was staying 10 days in Austin and I like a shower every morning. It was enough of a concern for me that I emailed host Courtney before I left for Austin to inquire about it.

After arrival, I found that the shower, plus all of Rollence’s concerns, were pretty much the way he put them though most of the issues didn’t concern me too much.

The shower, however, was a problem. It had one of those strange, impossible-to-figure-out control knobs. My first day there I contacted Courtney and the maintenance guy who came over couldn’t get it to work right either. So my second full day in Austin, two plumbers replaced the shower controls.

It’s much better now and easy to use. To me it’s an example of how AirBnB should work.

The location is great and it’s very comfortable now, with a functioning shower. I agree that the rest of the things on Rollence’s list would be improvements (particulary the VERY dusty dresser drawers which I did not use and lack of a mirror light in the bathroom), but I’d stay there again based on price and location.

Thanks to Rollence and Courtney.

4222553,26556241,2015-02-15,25851408,Jessica,Courtney was a wonderful hostess.  We were greeted with a basket of local goodies and had brand new bath towels.  Travel size toiletries were also included!  She was quick to respond when we had questions about leaving.  Location is excellent - walked to rainey and dirty/east sixth.  Nighttime was loud sometimes but hey it's a city.  Never felt unsafe although it is close to an interstate.  Would absolutely stay here again on our next trip to atx! 
4222553,26942988,2015-02-22,27337966,Tomas,"My girlfriend and I had a pleasant experience at this bnb. The host was very communicative and had wine, toiletries, & fruit for us. We would definitely  use this place again if we ever come back to Austin.  Location is ideal too."
4222553,29860162,2015-04-13,7264400,Ryan,"Courtney was an amazing host! She left us a welcome basket with some treats which was great.  The place was exactly as advertised -- very spacious, fully stocked with towels, bathroom items, etc.  She was also very accommodating with check-in/check-out.  The location was perfect, a couple minutes walk to bars/restaurants.  The place was also very clean."
4222553,30313879,2015-04-20,28892709,Susan,"Courtney was great - very communicative before and during the trip. We loved the amazing gift basket she left and the location - awesome, and I mean awesome. It felt like we were the lone residents on the block which was cool, yet we could walk anywhere in just a few minutes. There is a music venue across the street that played loud bass until about 1am but then it magically stopped just on time for us to sleep. Hey it was Friday night so it was ok. Courtney was also very helpful in pointing us in the right direction for bike rentals and such and she also left some toiletries which was great. When internet was down, she was very pro-active in calling us to try to get it to work. It didn't work for a bit but at least she tried! 

Overall, the place was pretty basic, could stand to have a bit of renovating, oh and a full length mirror and some bathroom lighting over the sink so you can actually see yourself in the mirror somewhere. Now for the bad news - the place smelled moldy :( Apparently it was raining before we arrived which contributed to the smell, but it really was pretty off-putting. When we told her, she immediately installed an air purifer and plug-in air fresheners, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. Even after we arrived home, the smell lingered in our stuff. That was our biggest downer. 

Despite that, all in all, we were happy to have the place to ourselves at a reasonable price, were thrilled with the hip location and the gift basket but probably would re-think staying there again due to the very strong smell. But if it were rectified, would stay there again because the location was pretty amazing."
4222553,31923880,2015-05-11,10257870,Katie,"Will 100% stay here when we're back in Austin.
The Space- comfy bed, living room has been refurnished, perfect place to digest La Barbacue lunch. 
The 'Hood- Walking distance (less than 1/2 mile) to awesome bars, coffee shop, great BBQ cart, and B cycles that get you ALL over the city. 
The Host- Courtney is wonderful. Quick to respond, left us an amazing gift basket and made sure the AC was on for our arrival. Her neighborhood guide book will not lead you astray either. We hit up most of the places and loved everything.
The oooonly thing I would mention (it's not a negative, just something to know) is that the shower is pretty petite. So if you need a lot of... girth in your shower, prepare for a squeeze. 
"
4222553,32547750,2015-05-19,11671080,Courtney,"Great location in close proximity to downtown Austin (if you are in town for work) and East Austin (if you are in town for fun). The gift basket was so nice and much appreciated. And there was fresh coffee! Courtney has added a hanging rack to hang clothes and replaced the iron. The bed is extremely comfortable and the AC unit definitely cooled the entire place. There is plenty of furniture to lounge around. A lot of people have mentioned the lack of light above the sink--it's true there is no light but this didn't bother me at all. Don't miss the food truck outside the back door for the best breakfast tacos in town. There was a small bug problem in the bathroom but Courtney is on top of it, plus it's Texas and expected in that environment. "
4222553,32973734,2015-05-24,29627919,Jake,"Great experience! Walked in to a nice goat basket and a clean, well kept house. Everything we needed was there. Location was just what we expected, walking distance to 6th street. My first Airbnb experience and definitely won't be my last! "
4222553,34464754,2015-06-08,22497313,Penelope,I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Courtney was so professional and the place was spotless and adorable. We loved it. 
4222553,35408064,2015-06-18,4706289,Christophe,"House was very welcoming. Courtney left the lights on as I was coming to town late that night. I was welcome with fresh towels & a bag of goodies which was awesome! Great location that you cannot beat. The area is low-key, just like I love 'em."
4222553,36481019,2015-06-28,2243931,Carey,"Great stay. So easy, host was great. We were able to walk to all the awesome bars and restaurants. We had a blast in Austin at Courtney's place. "
4222553,38466525,2015-07-15,38255041,Adam,"We had a wonderful time staying at the Eastside House.  Courtney was a great host!  We were welcomed by local wine and beer, which is always a great way to start a vacation.  The house was conveniently located by a ton of great bars and restaurants--honestly couldn't have asked for a better location.  The house also came with parking, which is very convenient in a city like Austin.  Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin and looking to have a true Austin experience.  "
4222553,38805449,2015-07-18,4035597,Anay,"Didn't get to meet the host, but she was absolutely wonderful. Super communicative, great instruction, and the gift basket was an excellent touch. The place is just like the pictures, and pretty close to the nightlife and bars. Great place, great host, a nice Airbnb experience overall. "
4222553,39656491,2015-07-25,14096729,Katy,Amazing location on the east side close to sixth street! Courtney is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and was available to answer any questions we had. The best part was how thoughtful Courtney was in addressing every detail to make our stay memorable. Thank you so much Courtney!
4222553,39858636,2015-07-26,38857125,Jocelyn,"Great location. 6th street and lots of restaurants were in very close walking distance. The place was very cute and artsy. I was nervous about the bathroom because there weren't photos but it was very clean. The shower was small but spotless with a big rainfall shower head. There isn't a light over the sink however, so not great for doing makeup. We enjoyed the gift basket and the house has great, easily accessible parking. "
4222553,40409816,2015-07-30,23540252,Mike,Courtney's place was as described.  Gift basket was great!  The price for the location was what attracted us to the house and we weren't disappointed.  Easy walk to most attractions we wanted to see.  No issues with parking our car or feeling safe in the area.
4222553,40651485,2015-08-01,34760298,Susan,"Courtney was the BEST host we could have hoped for - she showed my boyfriend and I true southern hospitality and we felt completely at home (way better than any hotel out there). She left a wonderful gift basket for our arrival from the Austin airport (maybe 10-15 mins away without traffic) and was super quick to respond to our questions regarding entry to the house and check-in/check-out times (really flexible). This house was safe, adorably decorated and clean with toiletries etc. for your use. Its in a GREAT location close to gas stations, city sights, restaurants (Stubb's, Franklin's BBQ) and bars (6th and Rainey Streets). We walked around without any difficulties. Parking is super convenient as Courtney makes sure you have a permit for your car if you have one. Courtney even connected us with an additional place to stay for our last night that we hadn't planned ahead for, making sure we were setup in the South Congress area (which you HAVE to check out if you haven't been to Austin for the food trucks and vintage shopping and South Congress Bridge Bats). I HIGHLY recommend staying at this and Courtney's other listings as she's a great host! Check out her other listings if this one isn't available!"
4222553,41266160,2015-08-05,190018,Paul,Awesome little place perfect for a couple or solo traveler. Can't beat the location or Courtney's tips and welcome basket. Hoping to come back to Austin soon
4222553,42442631,2015-08-13,39238035,Joe,"Place was clean, descent location.. That is close to 6th street and walking distance to downtown. Had some issues with night club across street with noise (recycling bottles and trash dumpster next to house). But overall good experience. Courtney responses timely and very courteous with a great welcome basket! "
4222553,42895103,2015-08-16,32670903,Mary,Courtney was very kind and welcoming and the whole process of checking in was very easy. The location of this place was amazing and I loved staying there!
4222553,43953923,2015-08-23,29475691,Jaclyn,"This place was awesome and couldn't have been in a better location. We were in town for a wedding and didn't rent a car. Luckily, this place was right off 6th street and we walked to everything. We did Austin Bcycle and there was a drop off point right around the corner. We biked all around the city and it was so nice to come back to the perfectly air conditioned apartment (we can't handle Texas heat in August). Courtney was awesome and responded to every question I had. It's a very quaint place. Perfect for a couple. We had such an awesome time in Austin and we will definitely stay here again if we come back!"
4222553,45565138,2015-09-04,37529764,Caz,"Courtney was a pleasure to deal with and super helpful and welcoming as were able to meet her. 
This house is cute and quirky and in the best spot in Austin - seriously. Exploring both ends of 6th St is a must. Walking distance to Rainey St bars and it's A beautiful 25min bike ride to Barton Springs. Oh, and there's a glorious taco truck parked not 50m from the house and a grocery store right next to it. 
We are already planning our trip back to Brushy St. Thanks Courtney! "
4222553,46723160,2015-09-13,16189760,Katie,"The Sweet Little Eastside House was a great little studio to stay in during our trip to Austin! Perfect for two people with all the amenities you might need. The AC worked very well and kept the place cool the whole time we were there. Everything was very clean and she even had a gift basket waiting for us upon arrival with lots of local goodies :) Thanks Courtney for everything!!

The only thing of note was that it's across from a music venue. I was a bit worried at first because there was a small festival going on the weekend we were there but I'm happy to say that I didn't hear any noise during my stay! The house is walking distance to downtown and the Eastside area which is very cool."
4222553,47323624,2015-09-17,12886445,Gemma,"I have stayed with a lot of different air bnb property's and I always try and give a fair and honest review. 
Pros to this place -
 good location,  although you do have to walk under the interstate which has many homeless people to get to 6th street.  
Courtney is brilliant, really responsive and leaves an amazing hamper.
Free parking

Cons- 
Place rather run down, floor is coming up, place needs a paint job
Air con is very loud so you cannot leave it on over night, it is only a box as well so kitchen,  bathroom etc will remain hot. 

If you care more about the location than the place you are staying in then stay here."
4222553,48524863,2015-09-27,39062112,Craig,Great experience. The location was perfect...so easy to get everywhere we wanted to go. The place was great and Courtney was very responsive. Hoping to go back again.
4222553,49049752,2015-09-30,11677996,Jaclyn,"Staying here was fantastic! Courtney left a sweet little gift basket (wine! amazing chocolates! tasty salsa and chips!) to welcome me in, along with good directions for local places to grab food and drink. The house was also stocked with toiletries, some good coffee beans and tea, and all the basic kitchen supplies one could want.

The house itself is a super cute and spacious studio - slightly odd layout, but decorated in a fun, slightly quirky manner. Bed was comfy, as was the couch. 

The location is fantastic! It's a block or two to fantastic coffee shops, great bars and restaurants and - my favorite - a food truck round-up of some of the best cuisines out there! I also enjoyed stopping by for a class at Practice Yoga, which is a block away and one of the best yoga studios I've ever been too. It's a short walk from the house to other spots along 6th Street, another great scene on 11th street, or the downtown area of Austin.

Downsides of the place: the toilet is a bit noisy when you flush (minor issue), the fridge plug-in is a bit delicate and plugs/unplugs easily (just check when you're in the kitchen), and there's a bit of noise at night as the neighborhood shuts down around 2 pm (e.g. workers from the bar nearby bringing trash out to dumpsters). Nothing too major. I also had trouble with the internet going down, but Courtney was super responsive and swung by the house as soon as I let her know about the problem to troubleshoot the issue with the internet company. Great customer service!

Next time I'm back in Austin for work or pleasure, I'm definitely staying here."
4222553,49603067,2015-10-05,38607344,Fiona,"The location of this house is both the best and (unfortunately) the worst thing about it. The proximity to central Austin and the bars etc on 6th St make this the perfect base for a weekend exploring Austin. Unfortunately, the house is the only residential building on the block which means that there is a lot of noise - we wore earplugs to bed every night and were still disturbed by (amongst other things) dumpster trucks at all hours of the night, traffic from the freeway, a film-crew on the street outside, and noise from the bar just down the road. We also had to turn the a/c off at night as it was too noisy to keep turned on (although in retrospect it may have help drown out some of the other noises!)
The house itself is nice, although a little run down, and the host, Courtney, was incredibly helpful. She left a welcome basket with a parking permit and a few goodies in it, as well as a list of nearby bars etc. A few reviews have mentioned the nearby freeway/underpass as being a bit of an issue due to homeless people, but we always felt completely safe when walking home at night.
All in all, for the price paid we were happy with our choice despite the noise disturbance, and had a great time exploring Austin."
4222553,50014897,2015-10-08,18742623,Colin,"My experience was great. The place looks and feels just as it's described and shown in the listing. The neighborhood is so close to downtown I was able to walk to my work-related events all week. Courtney is also very quick to respond to messages, which answered all my last-minute questions.

Courtney made me feel at home with a basket of goodies waiting for me near the front door when I arrived, which saved me from collapsing between my flight and an event that started soon after I landed. What a difference that made. Thanks, Courtney!

Also, one of the neighborhood's most highly rated taco trucks is across the parking lot behind this house. Can't argue with great tacos in your backyard morning, noon and night.

The only drawback is completely beyond the host's control: There are occasionally some loud noises in the neighborhood at odd hours, like a garbage truck that came through the alley next to the bedroom window in the middle of the night, tipping dumpsters and whatnot. Not a problem big enough to warrant avoiding this property, but beware there are things that go bump in the night. The house is also a street away from the highway, so there's a little traffic noise. I didn't find it bothersome."
4222553,50278044,2015-10-11,38967746,Jen,"Courtney was great, she left us a little gift basket of some amazing Texas Pecan coffee, wine, chocolate, chips, and salsa verde! We had a parking pass which was nice since we had a rental car. The house was nice although the area looked a little sketchy but we didn't have any problems."
4222553,50761430,2015-10-14,22688939,Sharon,"Courtney was an excellent host.  Very prompt response on everything.  There was a gift basket that was very appreciated! Everything was as expected based on the reviews and description.
For us being close to the music district was the key reason we chose this place.  It was great!  Walked to everything!  We ended up staying an extra night.
The house was clean inside and the a/c worked well, but in the summer you may need a supplement fan if you like it chilly at night.   The place could use significant interior updating/renovation for the price but that was not a problem because we were already aware of it.  It is only 50 yards from 6th street and less than a block to a liquor store and a convenience store so we only took the car out once to go see the bats under Congress bridge, but we could have walked there too.  (We missed bat season  apparently).
Overall, it was a very good Airbnb experience.  We recommend it!"
4222553,51546461,2015-10-21,3532469,Tracy,Courtney was such a hospitable host. Her house is in a perfect central location and was super lovely!
4222553,52046290,2015-10-26,17946205,Tom,Courtney is great. Always available for questions and her place is amazing and in a great location. 
4222553,52436594,2015-10-29,378636,Brad,"I stayed here for a business trip with a conference down town. It was perfectly located just 6-8 blocks from the heart of down town. Nice restaurants in the area. This specific area seems to be a ""transitional"" neighborhood of which I was comfortable.  The house was more than enough space for just me.  Courtney is very responsive and quite pleasant to work with. "
4222553,52677434,2015-11-01,17716151,Michael,Great spot for a long weekend exploring Austin!  Comfortable bed and unique layout / décor.  I would stay here again.
4222553,53028936,2015-11-03,22860676,Sura,"Catherine was an amazing host! She left me a welcome basket with goodies and a card - really made me feel like I was staying at a friend's home. 

The little house couldn't have more charm or be in a more convenient area! It's walking distance to everything. The bed was comfortable and this is an amazing space if you want to entertain some guests - built in bar, open space, large living room, adorable patio. "
4930314,28091058,2015-03-17,6126739,Tom,"Austin is a great city and was only made better by Eric. He met us and showed us around the apartment and the block pointing out the swimming pool and games room. He had been kind enough to take the time to print out websites and good apps to use for the SXSW. He was readily available throughout our stay for any tips or advice. Great host, great place, great city. Thanks Eric. "
4930314,28332528,2015-03-22,4728415,Gregory,Eric was literally the best. Super helpful. Extremely nice and made our trip really easy and special!
2261934,28072808,2015-03-17,10356153,Steve,"The apartment is perfect. Close to the downtown (5 mins cab) and close to some really great restaurants (walking distance). Clean tidy, comfortable it is the ideal place for a single traveller or a couple. Kevin is the perfect host. Ive had a great time and would come back again tomorrow."
5435298,39109415,2015-07-20,12010055,Brian,"Simran Raj was a great host. The couch was very comfortable and everything was as described and pictured. The house is also conveniently located to lots of things. Simran Raj was quick to respond, easy to communicate with, and was very accommodative during my stay. She is very kind and an interesting person to talk to. I have no complaints and I would recommend her place. Thanks for everything! "
5435298,39691292,2015-07-25,30242753,Genevieve,"Ania is a very warm and welcoming host with a lovely energy.  She was very conscientious and made me feel very welcome by keeping in contact regarding my time arrival, showing me how to work the door and offering me some of her yummy homebrewed kombucha.  Her two pups, Rodney and Chubby, are adorable and so well behaved.  Her home is located right in the heart of the East Side and very close to many attractions and she even offered a wonderful suggestion for a yoga studio while I was in town.  I reserved her couch but as one of the rooms was also free she offered that to me instead so I would have more privacy.  So thoughtful!  Easy, breezy, clean, laid-back and quiet accommodations that are as described.  Will definitely book again!"
5435298,39882247,2015-07-26,1171284,Jim,Thank you for making me feel at home.  Area was quite and Ania was a great hostess as well as Arthur.
5435298,40182509,2015-07-28,37708312,Joanna,"Everything was as pictured and described in the listing. The house is very close to downtown Austin so it was super convenient. The host was out of town when I arrived but she left very clear instructions so I had no problems. In addition she gave me her number so I could call with any questions I had. This is a very good deal; if you are not picky about sleeping on a couch and want somewhere to stay in downtown Austin for little cost, this is the room for you."
5435298,41012141,2015-08-03,18984705,Jeremy,Simran was very nice and hospitable. I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great place in Austin.
5435298,41298956,2015-08-05,39458764,Blake,"Simran was a great host.  I decided to stay an extra day, she was very accommodating 
"
5435298,41893811,2015-08-09,15217398,Dmitry,"I had nice experience staying here. This place has nice vibe, you feel home and welcomed. Coach that I've slept at was nice and comfortable. Place itself at convenient distance to downtown and eating venues of east Austin. That's great place to stay for lone traveler, highly recommended."
5435298,42219121,2015-08-11,40422976,Tiphaine,"It was a great stay, I really feel like home. I didn't meet Simran but Jacqueline and she is very sweet and helpful :)"
5435298,42490304,2015-08-13,40986521,Christian,Simran was extremely accommodating and clear! Her roommate Jaqueline is also very friendly. Their home is a place of relaxation and calm. There are three dogs that live here and they are absolute lovers! I had a great time here!
5435298,42990669,2015-08-16,10770786,Kate,"I had the absolute best time at Simran's place and was so sad to leave! I felt like I was staying with an old friend from the moment I walked in the door. Simran and her housemates are lovely, super helpful and just all round beautiful people. The house is always kept clean, has a great kitchen and laundry :)

I'll definitely be back if I'm ever in Austin again!!! "
5435298,43713143,2015-08-21,41469509,Allie,Lovely!! Loved Austin and this place was a pretty convenient location with very nice people and great place. Couch was very comfortable and Simran raj was really nice and accommodating. I enjoyed getting to know her!
5435298,44271270,2015-08-24,17117853,Vish,"The place was perfect and at a convenient location (not walking distance to 6th but $6 Uber ride away). I stayed in the living room couch and it was very comfortable and had all the needed facilities. There were also 3 dogs who were adorable and very friendly. Simran went out of her way to accommodate even though I requested the place last minute, Was in Austin for just a night and this was a great place to crash."
5435298,47131583,2015-09-15,8051075,Jeff,"Simran Raj is a wonderful host. We really had a great connection. She's a firm believer in building community and is so generous and accommodating. I slept on the couch in the living room in a house with several roommates and multiple Airbnb guests. And everyone was super respectful and interesting. This place is perfect for the wanderer, free spirit, or traveler looking to meet some inspiring people along the way. I wouldn't recommend this place if you are expecting a five star hotel experience or a lot of privacy. It's more communal, so if you're into that it's great! The dogs were cute and friendly. The only downside was that Simran left on a trip and wasn't there my second night so I we couldn't hang out anymore! But her roommate Andrea was super sweet and accommodating in her place. I'd totally stay here again if I came back to Austin. I felt like I made new friends that I want to stay in touch with. "
5435298,47998304,2015-09-22,41922122,Michael,"Simran Raj went out of her way to make me feel at home. She was very helpful in getting me checked in while she was still traveling herself. She introduced me to friends and events in the area, which made it easy to see Austin at its best. Her place is very welcoming/warm and clean. The place is great and the roommates even nicer!! There were other airbnb-ers staying at the place so we had a really cool community for the weekend. The place is in a great spot to explore. Everything is really close together in Austin. There is also a park right across the street. This was my first airbnb experience and it rocked!! Thanks Simran Raj!! "
5435298,49239847,2015-10-02,33522465,Anja,"It was really a pleasure to be there! And she let me stay one night longer cuz I had some card problems :-D  Great,thank you again! :)"

5435298,51405301,2015-10-19,29942421,Saumil,I felted welcomed the moment I came in! Perfect place for a yogi who doesnt drink and do drugs n is vegan. Would recommend this place to anyone who has the same intentions. Namaste. 
5435298,52905397,2015-11-02,3293033,James,"So THIS is weird...
After a lot of correspondence and lovely thoughtful assistance , at the 11th hour I was unable to actually stay at Shimran's house . 
But I want to say that if you are looking to stay in Austin , don't hesitate to contact her. Friendly , funny and very engaging with her guests. Even with one who don't actually wind up staying there ;)"
5606639,31004184,2015-04-30,31099467,Stephanie,The host contacted me through out stay to make sure everything was going well and is receptive to fixing anything that might make you stay less than comfortable. Great host
5606639,31817206,2015-05-10,4975966,Alexandra,"Chris was an outstanding host. Although I did not get to meet him, he made sure everything was perfectly ready for me.  The place was even better than described. 
He kept in contact through text messaging, which as an Airbnb frequent traveler, I liked. I honestly cannot report one problem. He had fresh towels ready for me and even made sure the wifi was ready for me as well as anything else I needed. I loved that he had a private backyard and also a connecting public backyard so I could explore the stars. I loved his place so much I tried to book him again when I would be back at the end of the month, but he was already filled. 
The only downfall is that I didn't have more vacation days to stay here! 
Thank you Chris!"
5606639,32626903,2015-05-19,31973125,Lauren,"Chris went above and beyond to ensure that we were comfortable during our stay. Due to security reasons at the airport, we missed our flight down to Austin and consequently missed our first night at the Airbnb but Chris worked with them to make it right and issue us a fair refund. Additionally, Chris provided recommendations and was always available if we had any concerns. The loft was the perfect size for my sister and I during our stay in Austin - we could not have asked for anything more! "
5606639,33015775,2015-05-24,32343006,Maria,"Chris made my first time using AirBnB a positive experience!  The place is quiet, clean, and close to St. Edward's university, downtown, and South Congress.   

He is very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls and gave us full control of the loft  for our short stay.  He even answered our phone call late at night because we arrived in Austin much later than expected. He also gave suggestions about attractions to visit based on some of the preferences I mentioned.

If coming back to Austin and have a small group, I will definitely stay here again!  "
5606639,34214800,2015-06-06,32272485,Cadyn,"Chris' loft was exactly as described. Comfortable with everything you need including a full kitchen and small courtyard. It's close to the action, but you likely still need a car or other means of transportation to get where you're going. The price was just right. Chris was awesome and checked in regularly. He even went above and beyond and did a personal favor for me when I was across town and needed him to check in on something. Highly recommend renting from Chris."
5606639,37954646,2015-07-12,16140809,Kim,"Great location, we were so close to beautiful South Congress, Barton Springs, Whole Foods...The place was very clean and we had plenty of extra towels and linens.  Chris was fully available for any questions we might have and offered to help us out finding things to do.  We would stay again!"
5606639,42054546,2015-08-10,39564431,Brian,Great location! Chris respected our privacy and even let us check in a little earlier since we drove all night. So close to south congress you could walk to the shops in ten minutes!
5606639,44039481,2015-08-23,10125626,Bruno,"Chris's place was a huge save for us! We had an extremely rough night driving from Albuquerque, Border Patrol giving us a hard time, tire blowing out and even our spare blowing out, having to tow ourselves at 5 in the morning. Finally getting to the house exhausted we were greated with this awesome place, cool in the hot summer night. The house might be a bit small but perfect for a city like Austin were you'd be spending so much time outside eating and having fun. Thank you so much Chris, this place turned our stay in Austin from a terrible dream to an awesome time with beer and meat! "
5606639,49024854,2015-09-30,27812563,Marylynn," The apartment was very well-ordered and clean when I got thee.  Chris provided clean towels throughout my stay and made me feel very welcome.  The apartment was centrally located, right next to St. Edward's University and a few minutes from South Congress and Downtown.  The apartment was overall very pleasant and perfect for my stay in Austin. "

House was very clean and we felt very at home there. Would definitely recommend this house to other guests, but would recommend a vehicle to get you around as it is a bit of a trek (on foot) into SoCo and Uber rides can start adding up. We loved our stay! First AirBnb experience and looking forward to many more."

Being the first time we used this site we were obviously not sure what to expect, but I just hope the rest of the places on this site are as good or better than this one, they sure set the bar very high!

Super clean, well decorated (great taste) and a great home feeling is what we got.

Super close to places to eat, a grocery shopping and super fast access to i-35.

Thanks Libby for making us feel at home!"

Although we were out the majority of the day for the festival, we spent each morning in the house comfortably - 2 people in each of the 2 guest bedrooms plus 1 person in the office. Libby provided us with tips about where to find good brunch eats in the city. The bungalow was in an adorable neighborhood, walking distance of a coffee shop/restaurant. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! "

This is not a private entrance situation, so when we got up early, we felt we ought to tiptoe around a bit, and dress in the bathroom, etc.

Libby was extremely gracious in allowing us to use the kitchen to fix a meal one of the nights we were there.  She has a very friendly mid-sized dog, which we both really enjoyed, but might not be for everyone.

The housekeeping was spotless, the decor was tasteful and attractive, and Libby, when we did see her, was charming, pleasant, and welcoming.  But it did feel more like being house guests than staying in a hotel.  If you like that sort of thing, you can't do better than to stay here.  We do, and we had a great time."
3894631,22218457,2014-11-01,10950249,James,Libby was a great host.  She responded very quickly and was very accommodating.  The house was very comfortable and in a great location.  We were only there for a short time but our stay with Libby made it feel nice and relaxed.
3894631,22472984,2014-11-07,23119635,Samantha,"Libby was awesome! So sweet and accommodating. Helped us find our way around Austin and made us feel like home. Her dog, Penny, is adorable and the house is clean and homey. Great experience and visit to Austin! "
3894631,22723287,2014-11-12,23348437,Cody,Libby & Peter's place was great. Very easy to find and very close to downtown. They were also great hosts. They gave me recommendations of places to visit and helped me get around town. The gave me my space and also were up for hanging out. Very modern house.  Great bedrooms and private bath. Their dog is awesome. Great place to stay! Thanks Libby and Peter!
3894631,24901809,2015-01-03,218867,Gavin & Gillian,"Libby and Peter were awesome hosts! They were friendly, easy going, and nice to talk to. We had breakfast together one morning that they were nice enough to pick up for all of us! They have a very sweet dog, Penny, who was perfect for our puppy to play with and very gentle with her! It was great to have another dog for ours to play with. The bed was comfortable and private, as well as a private bathroom. While we spoke to Libby and Peter quite a bit, they weren't in our face insisting we spend time with them. It was the perfect mix. They are also a very short car or cab ride to the downtown area which was so much fun! We'd definitely stay here again!"
3894631,26559546,2015-02-15,19413753,Jessica,"Libby and Peter have an amazing home and great design style. They are friendly and happy to give suggestions of the ""goings ons"" in Austin.  I was apprehensive about staying in a room in someone's home, but Libby and Peter's place has a great layout that gives you your own quiet space. I would absolutely recommend this room to anyone :)"
3894631,27931031,2015-03-15,3983439,Nicole,"Libby and Peter are super friendly, and their home is wonderful.  The house is well designed, super clean, and sunny.  Four of us stayed very comfortably, and the picnic table and chairs outside are great for lazy days, as well as the porch.  I would definitely recommend stay! "
3894631,28381659,2015-03-23,9066100,Ivar,"Libby and Peter were great hosts, not to mention their completely awesome dog Penny! Libby gave us a ride downtown on the first day of our stay, and they were both very helpful with calling cabs and other stuff we had a hard time finding out on our own. They're easy to talk to and very pleasant human beings who were very welcoming even to us - a 5-piece band invading their home with a ton of equipment. The house is very nice and is located in a serene and beautiful neighborhood. Clean and tidy with the exception of dog hair. Super clean bathroom and kitchen! The porch is perfect for breakfast and an evening beer accompanied by the sound of crickets. The store Fiesta (open 24hrs) and the cozy Cherrywood Coffeehouse are both literally just around the corner, the latter has great breakfast and decent coffee, plus live music in the evenings. We didn't have a car, and taxis are hard to find in Austin around SXSW, so planning how to get back and forth downtown is wise - it'll take you about an hour to walk. The 37 bus stops two blocks away and will take you downtown for $1.25, takes about 15mins and leaves approx twice pr hour. All in all we couldn't be more happy with our stay. Highly recommended!"
3894631,29160216,2015-04-05,22683381,Nancy,"Libby, Peter, and their dog Penny were extremely welcoming! We were in town for business and had so much going on during this visit to Austin, we could not be thankful enough for the relaxing stay. The neighborhood is very charming, quiet, and near a lot of great restaurants. The highway is close by, not noisy at all and extremely convenient for us to reach our destinations. Thank you your hospitality Libby, Peter, and Penny! "
3894631,29733881,2015-04-12,27376269,William,Great experience.  Nice location.  Warm house with nice hosts.  Comfortable bed and pillows with nice sheets and towels in the bathroom.  Great setup. 
3894631,31608106,2015-05-07,26187691,Karen,"I loved staying with Libby and Peter!  Their home is inviting, beautifully decorated, quiet, calm and very comfortable.  The neighborhood is wonderful - delicious cafe just a block a way, great neighborhood for a morning walk/run, well located near fabulous restaurants.  Libby and Peter are welcoming hosts, helpful, gracious and very quiet (after a warm welcome I hardly saw them)!  The room and bathroom are private, pretty and comfortable.  I hope to return!  And I would recommend this place to anyone.  "
3894631,31660080,2015-05-08,31553382,Ana,"Our stay at Peter and Libby's house was great. 
They -and their lovely dog penny- are very sweet and the house is beautiful and very well located :)

"
3894631,32385482,2015-05-17,2739684,Linda,"Libby and Peter are Super Hosts! Their place was perfect for my family. My daughters and I were there on business and a family celebration. We were all on different schedules, having to come and go, but Libby's lock box system made it really easy. The house is welcoming and super clean. Penny, the dog, is an adorable cuddle bug. She didn't bark even once! No matter what time we arrived. The house was easy travel time to downtown, lots of great places within walking distance. Loved having breakfast (also have open Yoga classes) at Cherrywood just down the street. Highly recommend!"
3894631,32921535,2015-05-23,150144,Jill,They were the nicest host and hostess'  A very nice comfy home in a great area of town...
3894631,33123053,2015-05-25,31659581,Mauricio,Libby and Peter were great hosts. They welcomed us very warmly and were very friendly during our stay. I felt like if I was visiting old friends. The house is very cozy and exactly as described in the listing. I highly recommend staying a Libby and Peter's house.
3894631,35741644,2015-06-21,35819100,Tyler,This was an amazing place to stay! The host were very welcoming and helpful.
3894631,37259818,2015-07-05,26376594,Heidi,"Everything from start to finish was fantastic - Libby, Peter and Penny we're great hosts! The initial instructions were very clear, which made getting to and into the house incredibly easy. The house itself is absolutely adorable, comfortable, in a safe neighborhood, and in a very convenient location - only about a $10 Lyft/Uber ride from downtown and across the street from a nice coffee shop. This was the first time I've actually had the chance to meet my Airbnb hosts, and I'm so glad I did. They were super friendly and totally willing to answer all of our touristy questions. Plus, they have the sweetest pup ever!
Bottom line - I wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again!"
3894631,38054778,2015-07-12,10591684,Mark,"Wonderful hosts and beautiful home and great location in Austin!  Peter and Libby made us feel super welcome during our entire stay, and were always helpful when we had a question.  They have a lovely home, which is quiet and peaceful.  Loved the front porch in the mornings!  I highly recommend staying with them if visiting Austin!  I know I'll be back!"
3894631,41034944,2015-08-03,34923542,Reba,"My friends and I absolutely loved our experience. Libby, Peter, and Penny were amazing host. The house is beautiful, spacious, clean, and in a central location. Would recommend to everyone."
3894631,42050983,2015-08-10,24382970,Katie,"Libby was by far the best host I've had yet! She had clearly defined rules, which is always a plus not to have to ask for verification. Libby and Peter were in and out of the house as much as we were, and when we did cross paths they were very nice. They're also into board games and we even sat down and played a few! I would definitely stay again!"
3894631,42981938,2015-08-16,17918190,Tina,"We absolutely LOVED this perfect bungalow!!! So unique and awesomely decorated. The place was clean, comfortable, and so close to all the good restaurants and bars. Great way to get a true local vibe. Libby gave us sweet places to eat and hangout. We will definitely recommend this place to friends and family when in Austin and hopefully we'll be back! Thanks for everything! "
3894631,45360506,2015-09-01,12883471,Casey,The host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3894631,46608451,2015-09-12,5433701,Raechel,"Libby and Peter were wonderful hosts. So far, my best airbnb experience! Home was warm, charming, and quiet. The neighborhood was nice, and quite as well. Groceries and coffee shop steps away. Really a lovely place if your looking for a cute place to stay in Austin!"
3894631,47665898,2015-09-21,8740021,Calvin,"Libby and Peter were great hosts! The house was clean and cozy, and the whole experience was very smooth"
3894631,48660770,2015-09-27,29070836,Bruce,We enjoyed our stay - would not hesitate to come again.
3894631,49034579,2015-09-30,26187691,Karen,"Libby and Peter (and Penny's) home is my home-away-from-home in Austin.  This is my third time staying with them and, as always, it was fabulous.  Their house is charming, they are delightful hosts, the location is fabulous and I won't stay anywhere else! "
3894631,49761573,2015-10-06,26172111,Kim,"My Wife, Brother in law and our friend travel to Austin every year to attend the Austin City Limits Music festival. After the last few years staying in a hotel was getting a bit stale and we needed to change it up. We found Libby and Peter's house on airbnb  and felt it would be a good match for us. When we arrived in Austin last Thursday, we were quite pleased we made the right choice. The house and accommodations were exactly as they were described and the added pleasure of having Penny in the house was a big plus. We were made to feel comfortable and welcome during our whole stay and had a positive view of the whole new experience. We highly recommend the location, it is centrally located to our needs in Austin and the neighborhood was very cool. Thank you again Peter and Libby, and Penny for being such great hosts. You will be the first place we look while planning our next trip to Austin."
3894631,50270822,2015-10-11,3266425,Dan,Excellent host. She stayed at her house during the duration of our stay but was very inviting and at the same time allowed us to have our space. Her dog was all sorts of adorable and was a joy to have around as well. The neighborhood was quiet and close to I-35 so we were able to Uber/Lyft easily when needed. It was a pleasure staying here!
3894631,51233218,2015-10-18,20327916,Martin,"Libby, Peter and Penny were wonderful hosts! Such a great friendly couple who truly love their city and are willing to make sure you and your guests have everything you need to enjoy your stay. Their home is beautiful and very well kept. The neighborhood is extremely safe and quiet. I highly recommend this location for your next trip to Austin! "
3894631,51517957,2015-10-20,477170,Lorissa,Libby was a great host and my stay was very comfy.  The house was nicely redone. I love the very walkable neighborhood with many great restaurants and coffee shops.   I would definitely stay again.
3894631,51755147,2015-10-24,31882217,Rachel,"This was our first Airbnb experience and I'm very happy to share that it was a good one. Libby and Peter's home is very well kept and the check-in instructions were straightforward. They have a dog named Penny who is very quiet - we never heard her bark so I would be surprised if you hear her at all. Penny is extremely friendly and very comfortable with new people.

We had our own bathroom to use and the bedroom is located on the opposite side of Libby and Peter's bedroom, so you don't really hear anyone which was great for late morning sleep ins. Both the bathroom and bedroom are very clean.

We didn't see Libby or Peter that much as we were out during most of the days; however, on the few occasions we did see them, they were very friendly and helpful. Libby is incredibly enthusiastic and gave us some great direction on what we should check out while we were in Austin.

I'm not surprised the reviews are so positive as it was a very lovely experience and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone."
3894631,52048356,2015-10-26,6357668,Ragi,Very good host.
4871059,24989601,2015-01-04,3592548,Dustin,"Steven was a great host! I arrived at the apartment and found it exactly the way it is in the pictures. The condo itself is surprisingly roomy and there were towels/blankets/toilet paper, even a clothing iron. It felt like home. He also provided a house manual of sorts that explained all the pertinent information (wifi password, address, how to reach him, list of locales to visit nearby). The apartment is extremely close to downtown which made it perfect for grabbing a cab to downtown. Both bedrooms have amazing downtown views and balconies to sit on to enjoy those views.

"
4871059,25328291,2015-01-12,23005797,Sarah,"The apartment was in a great location. Walking distance to a plethora of bars and restaurants. It’s a great starting point for exploring the city.
A representative met us at the apartment when we arrived and showed us the ins and outs of the apartment and gave us a parking pass for the lot.  After we offloaded our bags we walked into downtown for dinner and drinks. All the key areas are accessible by walking.  
The apartment was spacious. It contained everything you would need for your stay. The beds were comfortable.  I would definitively stay here again if we come and visit Austin.
"
4871059,25608395,2015-01-20,1654076,Heather,"The apartment was just remodeled so everything is brand new and clean.  It's very comfortable space for a group of 4 or fewer.  The convenient location is central to anything you want to do and especially close to the park, jogging/biking trails, great restaurants and bars.
Steven and Andrew were incredibly responsive and helpful.  All my questions were answered immediately and amicably.  They made my first trip to Austin more comfortable"
4871059,25963245,2015-01-31,5701997,Matthew,"This listing was perfect for what I needed.  I was visiting Austin for a week long conference and this listing was a bargain.  It was very centrally located so that walking anywhere I wanted to go never took more than about 20 minutes.  The rooms and apartment were very clean and all the amenities that I needed were anticipated and in place.  Steven was very accommodating.  I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay during my conference.  It's a tad tricky to find at first, even with Steven's good directions, but once you find it it's no problem.  I'd highly recommend staying at this listing."
4871059,26107948,2015-02-03,15461499,Eric,"Awesome, spacious apartment with a great balcony in a great location close to downtown. Very clean, very nice and had a list of recommended places to go. Steven was very professional, responsive, and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot! Can be slightly confusing to find when using a Maps service, but follow the directions exactly in the confirmation email and you're good!"
4871059,26195314,2015-02-06,3527392,Tara,"Best Airbnb experience yet! Steven was a breeze to work with, always easily reached via email or phone. The apartment was better than advertised. Very clean, comfortable,  and modern. This was absolutely the best location in the city. We easily walked to the majority of our destinations. Can't wait to stay here again, this will be the only place I'll want to stay when visiting Austin. "
4871059,26558790,2015-02-15,14101389,Hannah,"Steven is the best host we've had with any Airbnb experience yet. He was so welcoming and informative. The best part was that he was in close communication to make sure that we knew where we were going and how to get into the house. He also sent me the key via e-key so the entry was very easy. There is parking right in front and the condo is walking distance to everything- South Congress and 6th especially. Thank you for everything, Steven!"
4871059,26680940,2015-02-17,11931586,Dan,"The listing is exactly as it appears in the listing. The condo is spacious and very clean and modern, and just a short walk from downtown Austin. A great place! Steven was very communicative and answered questions when I had them. The front door is equipped with a smartphone-based locking system, so the key ""hand-off"" was as simple as it gets. I got the app, he gave me the permission for the lock for the duration of my stay, and I was good to go! We did that a few days before I even arrived. "
4871059,27051428,2015-02-24,20278696,Lauren,"Very nice place to stay.  Great location. Was some street noise and apartment noise but nothing out of the ordinary for a city.  Hosts were easy to work with. The apartment is just like the pictures. Clean, good internet, simple Furnishings. "
4871059,27148812,2015-02-26,28056268,Joel,Everything was top notch & steven is on point a comsumate professional!! Thx again Great Place! Great host!!!
4871059,27288358,2015-03-01,398563,Andrea,"The apartment was just as expected and the pictures are accurate. Great space, the place is huge and you never felt crowded. It had everything we needed and was in a great location close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Austin. The check-in & check-out was seamless."
4871059,27458825,2015-03-05,5189776,Amy,"The home was very nice. Extremely clean and welcoming. Very very spacious. It was a great deal! Steven was wonderful to work with, responded immediately to all of my texts and was really helpful. Although the weather was poor during our visit, so we drove most places, the location really is walkable to most places you would want to visit in Austin. Its only a 5 minute walk down to the river path which was gorgeous to walk along.  I would definitely recommend this space to anyone visiting Austin. The only thing to know is that it is near a fairly busy street, so you do hear street noise in at least one of the bedrooms. It was not super loud and didn't bother us at all, but if that kind of thing bothers you, just be aware. But all in all a really really great deal and a great place!!"
4871059,27562131,2015-03-07,28624314,Eileen,"Just as advertised. Great place to stay for a business trip or vacation! Host was very thoughtful about all the amenities provided, and even went so far as to let me have a book I started reading on my trip. One of the best airbnb experiences I've had to date. "
4871059,27656788,2015-03-09,959845,Faye,"We had a wonderful weekend staying at Steven's apartment. It was at a great location with easy access to downtown. Beds were unbelievably comfortable. Apartment was very clean and the two bathrooms were wonderful with nice toiletries.
Thank you!!"
4871059,28164065,2015-03-19,11360174,Caitlin,Steven was very easy to get ahold of and very accommodating. Everyone had a great time! The apartment worked out perfectly.  
4871059,28418047,2015-03-23,12352365,Dan,"Both hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, and the apartment was beautiful!  It was even better than it seemed on the Airbnb listing.  I was able to easily walk to downtown Austin, and an uber was usually $4 - $6 if I needed a ride.  The view from the master bedroom balcony was fantastic, and all the apartment's amenities made it a fantastic place to stay during my time at SXSW."
4871059,28617336,2015-03-27,28920789,Danielle,"This apartment in Austin was a great find!  Very convenient location, clean, and well-kept!!  I highly recommend staying here to anyone coming through Austin!"
4871059,28781890,2015-03-30,5727417,Sean,"Great 2 bedroom apartment in an awesome location. All the descriptions of the space were 100% accurate. Steven also let me drop my bag off before check-in which was very nice.
Just a warning, the apartment is a bit loud just due to its proximity to busy South 1st street and the very loud walker upstairs. Otherwise though, this place is a dream and it was a pleasure to stay here for a long weekend. "
4871059,28969821,2015-04-01,29008506,Kevin,Steven and Andrew were very accommodating   They let me leave my luggage pre-check in and leave my luggage post check out as I had no vehicle. Great space and centrally located.  
4871059,29173711,2015-04-05,20402480,Lydia,"Awesome place, just as described. Not SUPER close to downtown, but the neighborhood we were in was really eclectic and had so many food and drink options. We were able to check in a little earlier than expected which was nice, and the building was very quiet. Would definitely recommend!"
4871059,29389633,2015-04-07,540456,Beth,"The location was good for us (as was the ease of parking) to walk to restaurants/food trucks on S. 1st, stores and restaurants on S. Congress, and even an easy Uber ride from downtown one night. There is some street noise at night and some neighbor noise, but nothing that us city dwellers couldn't handle. Directions to the unit were very good; we found it right away! 

The apartment was neat and clean with all the necessary basics and more than enough space for three people. 

Steven made it very easy to check-in and was very responsive to pre check-in messages when we had to make a change to the number of guests which affected our costs. 
"
4871059,29561243,2015-04-09,28884794,Shanna,"Apartment was as pictured and walking distance to several good restaurants & food trucks.  Upon arrival, we got dropped off on the wrong side of the building, so finding the actual apartment was a little tricky.  While I was trying to find the apartment, my girlfriends stood by with our luggage and had a bit of a run-in with an obnoxious neighbor that advised we were trespassing and had to leave the property. No further run-ins after this though. Host called me seconds after I texted that I thought I was lost, which was GREAT. He walked me through everything.  Getting all our girlie luggage up 3 small flights of stairs was a bit difficult, but manageable.  All in all, I think it was a good first Airbnb experience."
4871059,30379131,2015-04-21,4738964,Mariana,"Steven is a great host, he made our stay very pleasant and comfortable. The house is impeccable and true to pictures and description, we loved how it was so open and large to a party of 4. Is very close to downtown, the river, restaurants and food trucks, will definitely come back when we're in Austin."
4871059,30859726,2015-04-28,920112,Scott,"The apartment was perfect for us. It's pretty conveniently located to downtown Austin (we walked everywhere) and was only a couple minute walk to Auditorium Shores. The apartment has plenty of space and central AC and ceiling fans which were great during our stay. Steven was a great host, although we never met, he was very easy to get in touch with and made sure we had the keys so the check in and out were seamless. We would stay there again in Austin. "
4871059,31296610,2015-05-04,26615,Aimee,"Steven's condo was perfect for our Austin vacation. I shared the space with 3 others and there was more than enough room for us all. The condo was modern and clean and Steven left very clear and explicit instructions for us in a neat little booklet. 

We were able to walk to most places in downtown Austin and visited 6th St, Rainey St, 1st St and SoCo area with ease. We parked our rental car in the parking lot of the complex and had no problems getting around. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for a convenient home base to explore all the fun things that Austin has to offer. "
4871059,31634121,2015-05-08,3709017,Timothy,"Recently visited Austin for the first time and really enjoyed staying at Steven's apartment.  It is within walking distance to downtown, which we did several times.  The apartment looks in person exactly as it does in the photos.  The use of the e-lock to enter the property without even meeting the host was a great way to work around our early check-in, which Steven graciously allowed us to do.  I recommend walking two blocks south to dine at SWAY, one of my new favorite restaurants in the world! You will not be disappointed staying at this property! "
4871059,31934663,2015-05-12,15693563,Les,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was overwhelmingly positive. Steven was an excellent host and the apartment is exactly as described - clean, well laid out and a great location. I stayed with 3 other family members and the 2 bathrooms were a big plus. I would absolutely recommend and will consider staying again for future visits. The high speed internet and bluetooth August lock system are also great."
4871059,32480091,2015-05-18,16309023,Joseph,Steven is great host! Everything was smooth from check-in to check-out. Place is in great location and just as described. Perfect place to stay for your time in Austin!
4871059,32823922,2015-05-22,21381584,Kyle,"Fantastic location, nice clean spacious 2 bedroom apt., a well-organized and responsive host... perfect place to stay"
4871059,33225943,2015-05-26,3788754,Trevor,Steve reached out a few days in advance and checked in to make sure everything was going well.  Would highly recommend his place!
4871059,34013227,2015-06-03,10238058,Scott,"We had a great stay here.  The location was outstanding, very close to downtown everywhere else we wanted to go.  The place was very spacious and clean with a great layout.  We did notice the street noise others have mentioned and occasionally heard footsteps from the unit above but it didn't bother us at all; it should be a consideration for light sleepers and those people sensitive to such things.  Overall, a great experience and we'd definitely stay here again!"
4871059,34489621,2015-06-08,20809745,Elizabeth,Steven was so great to work with. He was able to accommodate an earlier check in for me and went above and beyond to make sure everything was good. The place is just as it looked in the pictures. Very beautiful property. Will stay here anytime I come to Austin.

4871059,35206070,2015-06-16,29948520,Laura,Very comfortable apartment in a very convenient location.  Easy check-in and check-out.

4871059,38848713,2015-07-19,7780140,Claire,Great stay ar Steven's apt. The location is perfect for exploring downtown and south Austin . Steven was very responsive and accommodating. Bring earplugs as 1st is a busy street and you can hear the upstairs neighbor walking. Highly recommend for a couple of folks who need two bedrooms and want to enjoy all that Austin has to offer without a car. 
4871059,39350617,2015-07-22,38803288,Hong,We loved it there. Close to 5th Street and very roomy. Loved how close it was to some of the food trucks I like. Very clean and pretty. Thanks for the stay!
4871059,39999405,2015-07-27,33697509,Mario,"I had a great experience with Steven! The listing was very true and the apartment was phenomenal. The location was very convenient as it was very close to many places to eat, bars, and close enough to 6th street to where it was a cheap Uber ride back. The accommodations were great: the apartment was very clean, had everything that we needed, and even included a thorough house manual which contained recommendations of things to do in Austin. I'd highly recommend booking through Steven. The experience was easy and painless. "
4871059,40577187,2015-08-01,1367110,Katheline,"We had a great stay at Steven's appartment in Austin. The appartment is spacious, very clean and centrally located. You can walk to downtown, south congress, zilker park, a lot of nice restaurants, ... but as it was too hot for us to walk, we mostly drove to all those locations, which was also fine. The appartment comes with a parking spot, so that was very convenient. Rooms are huge, beds very comfy, kitchen & bathroom have all the amenities you might need, one balcony had great views of Austin, the other balcony is a nice shaded spot which overlooked the courtyard/pool, very relaxing. It felt like a real 'home away from home'.
Steven left a lot of recommandations for restaurants/bars in different neighbourhoods, so we tried some of them. Check-in/out is very easy (e-key works great!) and contact with Steven was also very easy. we didn't meet him but we stayed in contact through mail and he answered our questions promptly. All in all, a highly recommended place in Austin!"
4871059,40991285,2015-08-03,24737296,Brittany,"Great property located right in the heart of Austin! Walk to all the restaurants/shops in SoCo while its less than $5 Uber ride to the Downtown nightlife. The apartment was very spacious, clean and quiet. The host was very nice and extremely quick to respond. I definitely would recommend this property to everyone; can't wait to return! Thanks Steven : )"
4871059,42173099,2015-08-11,38618803,Nicole,"Great unit in a perfect location just outside of downtown. Very clean, well-appointed, and cozy. The a/c was much appreciated during our mid-August visit and the unit worked well for four adults. Steven was very easy to communicate with and extremely accommodating."
4871059,43275535,2015-08-18,3568957,Claudia,"We had a great time at Steve’s apartment.
The location is perfect; the apartment was clean, big and comfy. This is the second time that we stayed with Steve and both times we had a really good experience. The manual of the house and recommendations of places to visit was very helpful.
Thank you Steve and Andrew

4871059,46953173,2015-09-14,39518101,Abbye,Steven was great to work with prior to our arrival! The electronic key system he uses is great. His apartment was exactly as described and worked well for my party of five people. The location was centrally located to many of Austin's hotspots.

4871059,51533633,2015-10-21,7839712,Connie,"We got a bit concerned when we didn't hear from our host until we contacted him twice the evening before our stay. The digital door entry was convenient. 
This location was central to many of Austin's sites. There were many food trucks and restaurants within walking distance.
This place is NOISY. Besides the traffic noise that starts early and ends late, we had neighbors who were loud early hours of the morning. 
Things we missed: real time television, stocked bathrooms, beds with a blanket, and items to make time in the kitchen function. 
What we appreciated: cleanliness, convenient parking and location.

4871059,52876576,2015-11-02,2863933,Jennifer,"I enjoyed staying at this 2-bedroom apartment, which was in an excellent location just south of the First Street Bridge. There is only one local bus line going north and south, but there was great access to a nearby bikeshare station and walking to SoCo was easy. I liked that we were able to unlock the door using our phones and keys were available too. The accommodations were very spacious, clean, and new. It had all your typical household appliances, though I was unable to find a blow dryer. It was very quiet."
931667,3819262,2013-03-18,5040255,Brenna,"These wonderful hosts greeted us with warm smiles and local treats. The apartment was very clean, cozy and creatively furnished with neat art. Appreciated the nice small complex and clean pool to relax beside. This is an excellent location right alongside a park and just a few blocks from South Congress. Couldn't have asked for a better, cozy place to stay for the two of us. Highly recommended!"
931667,10978639,2014-03-16,11125467,Nathan,"Terry's condo is in an unbelievable location.  You are blocks from South Congress which is the epicenter of awesome Austin.  I was in town for SXSW and walked to the event every day.  I easily could have taken the bus each day but the weather was great.  The condo is perfect for a couple and is very well taken care of.  Terry picked me up from the airport and got me settled in.  I really couldn't have asked for a better AirBnB experience.  Thanks Terry!

Nathan"
931667,20825421,2014-10-06,4873428,Courtney,"Terry was a fantastic host. He was easy to get ahold of and quick to repond to any questions we had before and during our stay. He was friendly and welcoming when we arrived which made us feel right at home! His apartment is super cozy with a great Austin vibe :) Pros: clean, spacious, great location, Terry even provided milk, OJ, coffee, tea and chips and salsa for our stay! Cons: the bed was firm. So we slept - but not too comfortably.  But hey, that's a personal preference. 

Overall - Terry's space perfect for our weekend in Austin. We would definitely recommend. Thanks for the hospitality and great stay, Terry! "
931667,21289306,2014-10-14,20615988,Megan,"Terry made us feel extremely welcome!  The check in was easy and the house was great!  Very clean, with everything you'd need and in a great area.  It was a quick walk to South Congress and we were able to just hop on the bus to get anywhere else we needed to go.  I would absolutely stay here again!  
"
931667,22388033,2014-11-04,9465748,Tamara,"Terry was a perfect host and very responsive to any questions I had. The apartment was very well kept and clean- and bed was extremely comfortable. The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect- a walkable disrance to South Congree, and easy commute to downtown. Amazing experience for my first time using airbnb. "
931667,28301054,2015-03-22,8103605,Mary,"I really enjoyed my stay here. The apartment was very clean, organized and had everything I needed. Terry and Jill were very welcoming and left me a lovely basket of snacks (and awesome Tom's coffee!)
The neighborhood is quiet - close to the shops on South Congress, and located on the Blunn Creek Greenbelt - a trail between Little Stacy park and Big Stacy pool. it's a nice place for a run.
This was a perfect place to spend the week in an otherwise hectic SXSW!"
1732956,8399354,2013-10-28,8751062,Adrian,"Check in was quick and easy. I was not able to meet Erik in person but the place was clean and prepared with anything you might need: towels, kitchen supplies, toiletries.

1732956,8606135,2013-11-07,8422356,Gary,"We can't recommend Erik and Kara's guest house highly enough. The mezzanine bed was cute and cosy and with the kitchen, living area and bathroom we were totally self sufficient. Erik and Kara were really helpful hosts and the location was perfect for going to a longhorns game at TU or getting into town. We liked it so much we ended up booking an extra night. "
1732956,8805115,2013-11-18,8785146,Stephen,Erik and Kara had all the info available for the cottage as well as the key sitting on the counter for us. They answered our emails promptly and everything was in order when we arrived. Location was close to downtown which was very convenient. 
1732956,10923656,2014-03-13,5310279,Michael,"Had a great time in Erik and Kara's cottage for SXSW. While we didn't have a chance to meet Erik, Kara was very nice and they were extremely helpful and responsive. Both bed and couch were very comfortable and if we had more free time, would have loved to enjoy the patio."
1732956,11032093,2014-03-17,5423289,John,stay was nice ! enoyed the guesthouse alot its also one block from a mini mall with a 24 hour market but wasnt as close to downtown as i thought .. 
1732956,11187261,2014-03-24,12655923,Jana,Loved the place.  We had so much fun.  Enjoyed drinking coffee on the patio.  Erik was very helpful and gave us great tips on where to eat.  nice location.
1732956,11412190,2014-04-01,3004799,Krystal,"I loved the location. The back yard is super cute. It's a good size for 1-2 people. I personally think it would be tight with 3-4. The bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is a little small, but it's functional with nice hot water. The space is nice. The hosts are very nice. Plenty of delicious places to eat nearby."
1732956,12351307,2014-04-29,14136664,Mary,"We enjoyed our stay here very much. The sofa bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was totally functional, and the kitchenette made it easy to fix breakfast or a snack. The backyard garden and patio was a private and quiet place to relax. The neighborhood was nice and well-located, also comfortable for walking. Erik and Kara made it easy for us to check in and out."
1732956,12872811,2014-05-12,15276728,Jeny,"First of all, the house is adorable. It made for a perfect getaway destination for the weekend. Walking through the backyard and smelling the jasmine, enjoying the sunshine on the patio. It was just a few minutes drive from some great places to eat and explore too. The bathroom and shower were perfect for all of my five feet of stature, but my 6'3 boyfriend felt a little cramped. I would choose this house over a hotel room any day. Absolutely picturesque! "
1732956,13109093,2014-05-19,4700186,Dustin,"In Austin for the weekend for a friend's commencement. The guest house is a convenient, comfortable, and homey alternative to staying in a hotel during the say. When I go back, if the price & location is still right, I'll absolutely be staying here again. "
1732956,13444073,2014-05-27,5561446,Rebecca,"This was the perfect get-away bungalow! The backyard is a picturesque garden and the bungalow itself is perfect for two. We were just minutes from downtown though sometimes it was hard to leave the comfort of our little getaway. Erik was a great host, only met him once, but he was warm and welcoming. Thanks, Erik, for the great place to stay! I'd highly recommend this place!"

1732956,15484852,2014-07-10,10679237,Trieste,"Erik and Kara were great hosts. I did not get the opportunity to meet them, but everything went very well. The place was wonderful, it was very comfortable and in a great neighborhood. The outdoor seating area was gorgeous. The neighborhood was quiet, cute, and perfect for evening strolls. It was only a short walk to a few relaxing cafés and tasty dinner options. There were a few bus stops fairly close by, so transportation downtown was fairly easy. Overall it was a great experience, and I would completely recommend Kara and Erik's place to anyone."

The house was so quaint and clean! We loved it! The place was in great condition and completely stocked with everything we needed and as listed. We did not see Erik but he provided perfect instructions to get in the house and put everything together like the pullout couch! We are hoping to make another visit soon! "
1732956,19569282,2014-09-14,732418,Aymar Jean,"Erik's guest house is very private and charming. The place overlooks a nice little garden outside and the kitchen is nice. There's also some nice toiletries for the bathroom and plenty of towels. The loft bed was fine for me but might be difficult for an older/less agile person. The location is very convenient if you have a car, otherwise expect to take cabs in the sweltering Austin heat! About 15-30 minutes walk to UT."
1732956,20447721,2014-09-29,21079640,Anna,"Erik and Kara are great hosts which is reflected in their maintenance of this space. Overall, this guesthouse was extremely clean and in excellent condition. The kitchen and bathroom are well-stocked and all the amenities were as listed. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and there are many cafes and restaurants within walking distance and there are several bus stops within ten minutes that can take you to UT or downtown. I would definitely stay here again."

We were greeted to a fridge of beers and the AC already on, as well as a stack of magazines and Austin travel guides. The loft area was plenty of room for 2 (we even fit a 3rd). The neighborhood was nice and quiet, walking distance to a grocery store and a great cafe, close to downtown, and also to a great strip of restaurants on Manor Rd.

1732956,32994164,2015-05-24,3737977,Kelsey,"Erik & Kara made it very easy for planning an incredible girls trip to Austin with two of my closest friends. They were very timely in their responses, made sure we had everything we needed for our arrival, and the location was great - not quite walking distance to all of the main areas to explore as a first timer, however, we used Uber to get around and it was a short drive to many of the areas we went to explore. Thank you!! "
1732956,34959248,2015-06-14,8713911,Dan,"Staying at Erik & Kara's made for a really great way to see Austin. I was doing some work at UT, and could easily catch a bus to campus, or downtown.

942734,3755269,2013-03-11,284345,Julia,"David and Wendy we're just about the best hosts you could ever ask for. The house was spacious and super comfortable. We felt right at home and were all sad to say goodbye. Great beds, ample sleeping room, we arrived to fresh fruit, and the house was very clean. They were flexible with our check out, even letting us leave our bags for a few hours when we ran short on time the last day. Right down the block you can find a few good restaurants, a grocery store, pharmacy, and a coffee shop. It's easy to hail a cab from the corner and the street stays quiet even though the neighborhood is busy. Looking forward to snagging this house for SXSW next year! "
942734,10901333,2014-03-12,5165826,Steve,"David and Wendy are wonderful hosts.  The house is beautiful and well-kept in a charming neighborhood just out of downtown (there are restaurants and shops within a few blocks, and the main part of downtown is only about a 15 minute walk).  They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable - and even on a day that it rained we woke up to find umbrellas outside the door (which was perfect since I had forgotten to bring one).  Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Austin."

The guesthouse is lovely, very comfortable and well equipped with all you need. The Neighborhood is very relaxed and beautiful and if you rent a bike it is also only a 5-10 minutes easy ride to downtown. all in all a perfect choice for us we love to repeat soon.

We came and visited for SXSW. The house is about 15-20 minutes outside of downtown and it was super easy to get to all of the events. I would happily stay here again and I hope to get the chance to next year."
723029,21303475,2014-10-14,21408195,Kevin,"Brent was a fabulous host during my stay in Austin for Austin City Limits.  He made sure I had everything I needed while being low-key, and affording me my privacy.  Their home is gorgeous, brand spanking new, and super clean.  The guest bathroom was impeccable and I wish my shower at home was as nice.  The neighborhood was very conveniently located; very close to downtown and an Austin B-cycle station.  The best breakfast spot in Austin ""Blue Dahlia"" is right down the road.  I would highly recommend this space and I hope to be back soon!"

510168,23292844,2014-11-28,21936451,Evan,"My family and I stayed at Steve's house for an entire week and had a great time. There was plenty of room to sleep 4 comfortably in the three bedrooms. The fenced in property allowed my dog to play unsupervised, which is nice coming from the city. Also the location was excellent for accessing both the city sites and hill country attractions. It's even close to some parks where we could get a great trail run in. With a few exceptions we were able to prepare a full thanksgiving dinner, so the kitchen was adequately stocked with the necessary tools. Steve was always in contact and was very friendly and helpful with any questions or issues. I would definitely book a stay here again."

Steve was a fantastic host, in constant communication and attentive to any questions/requests.  "
510168,29602545,2015-04-10,15384025,Molly,"Steve is a great host and his home is as beautiful and comfortable as advertised,"
510168,30254079,2015-04-19,29779,Helen,We really loved Steve's property and all the amenities there. It was perfect for us. He very graciously gave our 4 year old grandson 2 trips in his golf buggy down to the Lake. Steve has the property in immaculate conditions and it is in the Hill country outside of Austin in a great setting and surroundings. Deer wandered onto the property for grazing which is pretty special when you come from Australia! We were also there when a big storm came through so we can vouch for the strength of the house. Steve very graciously had some supplies in the house for us when we arrived including his favourite pecan pie. The whole house is furnished beautifully and appropriately. We strongly recommend this property to you. 
510168,37304338,2015-07-06,31544789,Heather,"Steve's home is beautiful and he is a very responsive host. Music lovers will appreciate the decor and the yard is lush, private, and relaxing.  The location feels off in the country but you are only a short drive from town.  Everything was clean and as promised. Be aware that there are no doors on the two upstairs bedrooms."
510168,39099103,2015-07-20,18270074,William,Steve's house and location were excellent.  The grounds are beautiful.  Its far enough out to feel away from everything but still a close trip to the city to be able to explore all that Austin has available.  Steve communicates well and is available for questions.

325737,14953772,2014-06-30,1648729,Jess,"Edith was fantastic. She is gracious, thoughtful, very informative and the bang you get for your buck with her house is pretty hard to beat. I would definitely stay there again."
325737,50652387,2015-10-13,42795046,Jordana,"We stayed at Edith's home for ACL weekend 2 in 2015. It was in the perfect location for our group and comfortably fit 12 of us, with a bedroom to spare that would've fit 4 more. It was about a $10 uber ride and no more than a 10/15 minute drive to everywhere we needed to go such as zilker park, downtown, and south congress. There is also a bus stop right across the street. Edith was always quick to respond with any questions I had regarding our stay. Thanks Edith!"
1644692,8837922,2013-11-20,9798138,Andrew,"Neal's condo is an Austin gem. Immaculate, comfortable and minutes to all of East Austin's highlights like Manor Rd., East 6th and other eccentricities. Neal was a gracious host, fresh fruit, cookies & beer in the fridge! Check-in & departure was a breeze. Don't pass this place up if its available."
1644692,10920632,2014-03-13,628506,Barrie,"This is a great little condo in a fantastic town and David is a very helpful and generous host - he even pre-stocked the fridge with a few of Austin's finest ales!
The area is quiet, but not too far from Downtown (although the area around East 6th is way more fun) and the bus & train services are pretty good by U.S. standards. I stayed for a week during SXSW and took advantage of David's bike, which ended up being the perfect way to get around. Coming back to this stylish, spacious and quiet pad after a frantic day in town was a real pleasure. Highly recommended."
1644692,28170637,2015-03-19,8615067,Yann,"David à été un hôte charmant, son appartement est parfait, tout à fait correspondant avec la description faite sur le site.

5630531,28060907,2015-03-16,2605862,Charles,"This was a great place to stay while in Austin, and it's actually right on the water with s long walking path with a view of the city. Maria was also very friendly and hospitable. I would definitely stay there again. It was about a 5 minute cab ride to the heart of the city. "

5630531,28851189,2015-03-30,29946272,Monica,"Maria's place was amazing. It was clean, simple, comfortable, and even smelled great. I loved that the studio does not look lived in. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for an overnight stay. I loved how close it was to the boardwalk and running trail. Perfect place and perfect host! She was so accommodating and made us feel very welcome!  "
5630531,29948083,2015-04-14,22171951,Brittany,Maria was extremely hospitable. She was there to greet us when we got in from our late flight. The studio has everything you need for a quick trip to Austin. The studio was clean and in good condition. The closet is huge and great to store your luggage and belongings while you stay. It is right on the water and even near a kayaking place. (If you use yelp you can get your first kayak rental free!) Maria was available to answer any questions we had at certain points in our stay. 
5630531,30271419,2015-04-19,31382085,Terry,Exceptional outstanding and convenient. Had a relatively restricted scheduled and Maria was incredibly accommodating and customer focused. I don't think we could have had a better experience. 
5630531,30354236,2015-04-20,10411738,Agnieszka,"Maria was an excellent host - very friendly, approachable and accommodating when I had special requests for the check in/ out timings. Her warmth, cozy studio, decoration pieces and candles will make you feel at home. The studio has a great location - it's right next to the river and lovely boardwalk. It is also a short drive away from Downtown Austin. Highly recommended."
5630531,30909770,2015-04-28,31140907,Emily,"Maria met us at the door and helped us with all our questions about Austin! It really is killer location, and since we rented bikes, we were right on the trail by the river making our stay so fun. Plus, the pool is FANTASTIC. "
5630531,33281969,2015-05-26,4264574,Rosa,Really cute apartment in a convenient location. The pool in the back is super nice!
723826,2567207,2012-10-09,3730376,Austin,"Sara's MonsterLove Studio was awesome. Her home was tidy, spacious and extremely interesting. In addition to this, Sara was a very gracious host with a lot of knowledge concerning ATX that she was more than willing to share. II would highly recommend staying here to anyone, especially open minded people looking to adventure deeper into Austin! Also, my sister and I had an absolute blast posing with the monster heads."
723826,3832093,2013-03-19,468033,Kirsty,We stayed with Sara for a week over the SXSW period. She was super accomodating to fit all 6 of us in her studio and we had a really easy time getting downtown to the festival. She wasn't actually there when we stayed but was super easy to contact via txt whenever we needed!
723826,11049627,2014-03-18,5634390,Orpheu,We had a great stay at Sara's place! It was perfect for us with a group of 5 and location wise also very good with getting to downtown Austin. Thanks Sara!
8636807,50559726,2015-10-12,4820452,Abel,"I had a great stay at Ellis' place!  The area was close to many great restaurants and was perfect for me to check out Austin City Limits.  I would definitely come back to stay with Ellis.  Her place depicts what Austin is all about and you will enjoy your stay.  It is very artistic and has the right blends of Austin, TX.  Ellis was there to assist us and was there to provide an awesome experience.  There was plenty of parking around the area and a nice park right around the corner.  I have nothing but fabulous things to say about this place.  I recommend it!"
8636807,51489938,2015-10-20,23801947,Ahmed,"Staying at Ellis house was a wonderful experience. The house is awesome and exactly as the photos tell. Check-in and check-out times and procedures are arranged smoothly with warm and welcoming reception. There's a large kitchen equipped with all needed stuff to cook along with a large fridge as well. The location is just 10 minutes from restaurants and the downtown of Austin if you wish to have nice meals or hangouts outside. The beds are very comfortable and clean. Everything in the house is just awesome and there are plenty of bath and toilet supplies. If you love pets, you will have the chance to take care of a lovely cat called Ivy. Moreover, the price was just unbeatable by any means. The host is responsive and always willing to help. I would highly recommend staying here."
8825614,51414655,2015-10-19,32613559,Jenna,"Melanie was a sweet girl, and her friends were very nice as well. The room was clean and quiet, and her dog is adorable. Everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our stay. :) Austin was definitely a fun experience, and we hope to go back soon"
8825614,52146336,2015-10-26,21618211,Özlem,It was clean and lovely room! And Melanie was also nice to us! Thanks for having us.
4982547,46080035,2015-09-07,22480352,Sia,Alex was very responsive and was friendly and accommodating of our flight times for check in / check out. Great location - easy to get around. Clean apartment big enough for our group.  
4982547,51415892,2015-10-19,1815091,Charlie,"Alex's apartment is a unique, optimal offering for anyone considering a stay in downtown Austin. As someone familiar with the city, I couldn't recommend it more! It is perfectly situated in close proximity to Sixth Street, the convention center, Rainey Street, and Lady Bird Lake. It is also only a short trek to the state capitol, UT, South Congress, and Zilker Park.

The apartment was as-listed: nicely furnished, had all the necessary amenities, was clean and well-kept, and located in a nice, safe building. It'd comfortably host guests on a weekend getaway, as well as a party in town for business.

Alex was reachable, and helpful with everything. I had no issues checking in or out, or anywhere in between."
8606191,50409274,2015-10-11,37314557,Emily,We had a great time at this cute house! It was very clean and ready for arrival. The hosts were amazing and only a phone call/text away if we needed them. I would definitely stay here again. It's walking distance to zilker park and a lot of hip Austin places. 
2478886,22460881,2014-11-07,1169852,James,Great space. Simple and clean. Great central location for experiencing South Austin. Angela was pleasant and helpful!
2478886,22625955,2014-11-10,12192195,Jennifer,Angela was very sweet and flexible - our change in arrival time was accommodated. The room was spotless and cozy. ((One of few situations where a room is nicer in person than the photos online.)) Easy access to bathroom straight across hall. Parking readily available: right by stairs. Her 2 cats were super cute and sweet which is a plus. I'd recommend her place to anyone looking to stay about 5-10 minutes from downtown without the hassle/cost.
2478886,23626655,2014-12-07,21790207,Yi,"Angela was very nice and helpful, two cats are very friendly, the room is quiet and clean with a private guest bathroom.

Overall it was a great place to stay."
2478886,25136321,2015-01-07,3578972,Michelle,Angela is a gracious host who knows how to make you feel welcome and at ease. The apartment allows for plenty of privacy and closet space and the well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook and clean. The location is not too far from downtown and the proximity of the large grocery store is very convenient. There are plenty of places to eat in the area and I especially recommend the Honduran food truck at  the intersection of Elton and Pleasant Valley. 
2478886,26553565,2015-02-15,10246698,William,"Angela and her two friendly cats could not be more cordial and lovely hosts. The space was very comfortable for the two of us, and the private bathroom is particularly welcome. Location wise there were many great eating options nearby, and it was also a nice area for a walk in the evening. Downtown Austin is easily accessible with several frequent bus services."
2478886,27519003,2015-03-06,26074966,Patrick,"I base a lot of where I stay on where I need to work. This was walking distance to work!
Angela has totally given up the MBR in her place, furnished with empty med cabinets and dressers and walk-in closet. Very nice to be able to spread out. And a large desk, no less! She has made every effort to give you all kinds of privacy.
Also Angela made sure to have room in her fridge for anything I needed to store."
2478886,27707023,2015-03-09,28884333,Jay,Angela is very friendly and welcoming. The place is everything the description said. The Uber/Lyft cost from Sixth street is very reasonable. 
2478886,27787015,2015-03-11,28430485,Bianca,Had a great time. The place is only 10 minutes away from down town. Angie was a great host. I really recommend staying with her if your in Austin.

2478886,28422830,2015-03-23,28201200,Juan,It was excellent she made us feel right at home and gave us some info about the area. She also has these 2 friendly cats that we enjoyed overall we had a good experience.
2478886,29021055,2015-04-02,17928953,Dave,Angela was very accommodating.  Private bedroom and bath with two very friendly cats.  She was kind enough to let me use her laundry facilities and fridge.  Located very close to downtown and bike trails and easy to get around.  Highly recommend staying here during your next trip to Austin.
2478886,29169085,2015-04-05,25151722,Yawei,"Angela is a loving and accommodating person. she told us about different kinds of food in this area, let us use her laundry card and lent hair dryer to us. Private bedroom is so nice also have two taming and cuddly cats. I think it will be very comfortable if you come to Austin and live in Angela's house. This is our first time and we had a wonderful experience. 
"
2478886,29895456,2015-04-13,17132129,Juan,"Angela was very nice, clean room and big. She was located close to 6th street. I would recommend staying at Angela apartment to any of my friends.  "

I felt bad for my friend who payed more than double for a hotel room that wasn't even as nice.  
Angela was really thoughtful but unobtrusive, I definitely recommend staying with her. Also her cats are really sweet and tolerated my nosy pug.  "
2478886,31714553,2015-05-09,21950160,Gary,Angela was very helpful and nice and the room was as advertised. 10 min uber down town. Would stay again!
2478886,32020118,2015-05-12,19108651,Francesca,"Angela was great! We were in town for a festival so hardly ever saw her but she was really nice and accommodating. The room is super
Comfortable me and my friend had a bed eacb and yhe bathroom inside the room was great."
2478886,32851095,2015-05-22,25761303,Robert,"We had a fantastic stay in Austin with Angela. Lovely clean room and private bathroom which were fantastic. Getting round Austin is easy and cheap with several bus stops in easy walking distance. 

Angela goes the extra mile to accommodate her guests. She provided her laundry card and detergent as well as offering to drive us 5 miles to get our bus (we declined the offer as it was too much to ask!) 

Ps. If you're visiting Austin and want some barbecue, head to La Barbecue rather than Franklin. Similarly rated and stand in line for 30 mins to an hour rather than 4-6 hours. "
2478886,35151899,2015-06-15,34907004,Andrew,"Angela was an AMAZING host!  It can be very difficult to host four people in the midst of a road trip, but Angela, as well as her amazing apartment, were both perfect.  Four of us fit perfectly and were completely comfortable.  The apartment was clean, spacious, and perfectly located for am everything we wanted to do in Austin.  I highly recommend staying with Angela. "
2478886,35613463,2015-06-20,4954290,Mike,I really enjoyed staying with Angela. Please see my earlier review for more info.

2478886,40028847,2015-07-27,8121698,Jenny,Angela kept in contact with us confirming when we will arrive into town and also made us feel welcome and gave suggestions on things to do. The apartment complex was near others off of Riverside/Oltorf depending on where you're coming from. We had off the street parking and the room was as pictured. We were delighted she had cats because we love animals and don't have any of our own. Angela lived very close to all the things we wanted to do. Ironically an old friend of ours lived 5min away and we got to visit with them as well. The wifi and password was provided along with a key to the front door. We were a little bit early checking in while she was still cleaning but she allowed us to leave our luggage and cool off before shopping. We would come back and stay again!
2478886,41132172,2015-08-04,11084260,Bradley,"Angela's place was great.  Exactly as described.  Great room stocked with two beds, plenty of clean sheets and towels.  

Perfect for our needs for the weekend.  Easy access to downtown.  Parking was free all weekend too, which was a major plus as well. 

Definitely would recommend booking if you are in town for a short weekend and don't mind a 5 minute drive to where you are going.  "
2478886,41395758,2015-08-07,4363810,Trisha,"Angela was a great host and made sure we were all comfortable. She remained available by email and by phone the days before and the day of to make sure we could check in on time. I really liked the place--it was clean and had towels, extra bedding, etc. for us to use! I would recommend this place if you want to stay in Austin."

Angela was the kind of host my bf and I hoped for. She was there if you needed her, responds quickly  , but gave you your space if that's what you wanted. The room  was ideal especially that it comes with your own bathroom! I enjoyed my experience, if you're thinking about visiting Austin, book your stay here!"
2478886,45042079,2015-08-30,29693562,Samuel,"Angela was so accommodating. I had to switch up my reservation last minute and she was very sweet and accommodating.

Thank you!!"
2478886,47200543,2015-09-16,43140158,Alan,"This was my 1st time using Airbnb. The location is perfect, a 10 minute drive to downtown or the airport. The room is spacious - filled with a full size bed, couch, desk, and drawers. And having a personal bathroom attached to the room and wifi were a plus. 

Angela was extremely sweet and very accommodating to all our needs. She also has a super friendly and pettable cat. Getting to speak with her, her place is very popular and gets filled quickly so if you are considering, book quickly."
2478886,47966842,2015-09-22,27560789,Brianna,Angela was a great host- friendly and thoughtful. She was prompt in responding to any questions I had. The room is spacious and clean and the location was close to everything. Everywhere I went was only 1 or 2 miles away (never more than a $10 uber ride) I'd highly recommend staying here!

349635,7316589,2013-09-15,8624994,Robin,"Cindie Brooks and her Heart of Tarrytown, Bed and Bath were the perfect welcome to Austin for me. The room and bath were comfortable and clean. The house is located in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, Tarrytown, which happens to be within walking distance to a river and several great restaurants along the river. What made my experience the most memorable though, was Cindie herself. She is warm, welcoming, and generous. I would recommend her Bed and Bath to anyone, and think it is perfect for a female traveler whose priorities are comfort and safety.  "
349635,8173314,2013-10-19,519399,Kyungjoo,The location is very nice and in a safe neighborhood. This place is perfect for my residing as I mostly work outside and come back in the evening (no need for kitchen). It is also easy to access downtown area. 
349635,8356074,2013-10-27,10730,William,"Clean and comfortable room/bath as a separate lockout from the main house.  Nice neighborhood on the west side of Austin, about five minutes from downtown.  There is a pool and shady patio area in the back courtyard. The unit has a mini-fridge, but no microwave or kitchen facilities.  Overall, a pleasant place to stay in Austin."
349635,8557690,2013-11-04,9761486,Claudia,"Perfect short visit to Austin in Cindie's place. Every detail was taken care of, from the mini fridge stocked with spring water, chocolates, TV hiding in the closet, to books, magazines, extra towels, shampoo, hair dryer, etc.
Very convenient to downtown, UT and lake Austin area, in a safe, beautiful neighborhood. Next to main home, by the pool, but completely independent. Would love to come back with more time..."
349635,8682673,2013-11-11,9887799,Mike,"Cindie was wonderful from start to finish. Although she was not in town during our stay, she made sure we understood every detail and provided everything we could ask for.  The bed and bath experience was comfortable, cozy, safe and clean.  We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will try to stay there again, or recommend her bnb to others when the opportunity arises."

349635,10847313,2014-03-10,1964054,David,Exactly as described. I had a comfortable stay in a nice neighbourhood a short walk from bus stops. I found Cindie's room to be very good value.
349635,11073452,2014-03-19,413694,David,Cindie was the perfect host in that she respected privacy while remaining extremely easy to contact. Her home is in one of the nicest neighborhoods in Austin which was perfect for morning walks. Easy access to bus lines and numerous Car-2-Gos nearby. The room worked out well for a SXSW visit. Thank you Cindie.
349635,11312360,2014-03-29,7578083,Jeff,Cindie is a gracious host and the room was exactly as presented.  The location is an easy drive and within minutes of UT's campus.   
349635,18867847,2014-09-01,7874891,Caryn,"Cindie's place was clean, quiet and private. Although she was unable to greet me during my short, one-night stay, she was very communicative. I highly recommend her and hope I get the privilege of staying there again when I pass through Austin. Thanks Cindie! "
349635,20871086,2014-10-06,21850759,Muriel,"Cindie was a great host! Her and I were both busy during the time of my stay, so we never had a chance to meet, but she was easy to get a hold if I had any questions. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and in a great location to get to pretty much anywhere. For anyone looking for a nice and comfortable place to stay, this is for you!"
349635,21299295,2014-10-14,18018020,Kirt,"The location was easily accessible, quiet, and provided me the what I had expected based on description.  Neighborhood is nice.  It is private as well and priced fairly.  I had a great time in Austin and the ACL festival.   Did not meet Cindie but she was helpful and communicative and responded to all my questions.  Thank you!"
349635,28019128,2015-03-16,10761709,Margarita,"Cindie was wonderful at communicating and very welcoming (even thought I technically didn't meet her in person). The airbnb was a room located in a nice property (connected to the house but very private) and the neighborhood has got to be one of the nicest in Austin. I loved admiring the houses on my 10 minute walk to the bus in the morning to go downtown (bus trip takes about 10 minutes). If taking a bus is not your thing, Uber is in Austin (as is Lyft). I used Uber a couple of times and it worked great. I suggest eating out and about prior to coming back to the neighborhood if you aren't renting a car. There is no kitchen access, there is a nice little fridge to put in water, drinks or any leftovers (no microwave). It was a quiet neighborhood that is very centrally located. It was a nice home away from home and I would rent it again in a heartbeat so I highly recommend it. I truly enjoyed staying here. If I ever go back to Austin, Cindie's place would be the first place I would check lodging availability for."
349635,28463046,2015-03-24,413694,David,"My stay at Cindie's Bed & Bath was, once again, perfect. The room was comfortable, clean and in a wonderful neighborhood. Buses and Car2Gos are easily accessed and it's a great walk to the river.  Communication was excellent and I felt extremely welcome. I highly recommend staying there. "
349635,29883328,2015-04-13,2514441,Leann,"The room was cute, private and well appointed. Plenty of waters and other goodies in the fridge. Beautiful neighborhood. Cindy was very responsive and when the coffee pot didn't work one morning, it was promptly fixed and she even gave me a coffe gift card ! Overall a much better option than the conference hotel at twice the price.  "
349635,30717193,2015-04-26,277693,Connie,"This place is fine -- the photos are very accurate. The location is wonderful.  Check in was easy. The room is low on illumination (tho an extra lamp was provided on request), the central air was did not seem to be on one night (tho there is a good fan),  and the sheets are not great. These kinds of things probably don't matter to 99% of people. Otherwise the room is quiet, clean & safe. I do recommend.  "
349635,41990707,2015-08-10,39533549,Joe,The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
349635,49737534,2015-10-05,24941562,Danny,Cindie was a great host. She was very responsive and her space was perfect for what I needed. I would recommend her space for location and convenience. 
349635,50704499,2015-10-13,45455766,Jenna,Amazing place to stay in a nice quiet neighborhood. And minutes away from downtown Austin. Cindie was very accommodating and gracious host. 
349635,51381272,2015-10-19,25822633,Yvonne,Thank you for nice peaceful comfortable place!  
349635,52249750,2015-10-27,13054691,Marlys,"Easy check in at a quiet little spot. I felt very comfortable and safe, travelling as a single woman, at Cindie's place."
2476940,28000478,2015-03-16,26250613,Jordan,The house was great! Clean and very cute. It fit our large group very well. Sarah was very helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again!
2476940,33289587,2015-05-26,32540730,Thuy,"Great! Sarah was very quick in answering all of our emails as well as accommodating us. We had a party of 12 and she made sure to leave us air beds and linen to help us. 

The house was nice and clean and felt very ""homey"".  The house had anything and everything! She made sure to let us know what we were able to use and not use very clearly. 

I would definitely go back if we were in Austin. "
2476940,37405541,2015-07-06,36989578,Swati,"Sarah, our host was great! She gave us all the information in advance and helped make our stay in Austin a lot of fun!"
2476940,38221565,2015-07-13,37804220,Portia,"Sarah was great! We booked really last minute and she was extremely accommodating. We entered through a garage code for super easy check in. The house was exactly as described. We had ten people; we all slept comfortably. 

The neighborhood was quaint in the suburbs. It was about a $20 lyft ride to 6th street. "
2476940,49613416,2015-10-05,11462905,Mylez,Sarah's home was awesome. We had a great time. Photos dont do justice on how spacious her place is. She was very easy to reach. Close to the freeways and grocery/ food. Lots of linens and airbeds to use as well. Would definitely recommend this place!!!
2476940,52233940,2015-10-27,44272058,Patriot,"Great place to stay, the AC worked like a charm and we even had to kick the heater on because of the hurricane. Bad timing for a trip but great place to stay to be comfortable. 2/3 beds were air mattresses with only the master having a real bed but otherwise not a single complaint. Thank you Sarah! "
985862,5054442,2013-06-10,5813371,Lydia,"I am extremely pleased with my stay at Austin Zen Stay. Andrea is a wonderful, attentive landlord and consummate  host who goes the extra mile to please her guests. The room was immaculately clean and comfortable. The bathroom was stocked with all the essential toiletries. During my 30 day stay here, I felt at home and very comfortable in my room. The furnishings are lovely and functional. I felt safe with all of the buildings safety features (private parking, motion detecting floodlights, and indoor lights in the building, outside gate, etc) The decor in my room was lovely and good quality. I felt so much at home that it was hard for me to leave. I can't say enough about Andrea and this place. I can't wait to come back. I will most definitely recommend it to all of my friends. Thank you Andrea! 3"
985862,7363322,2013-09-17,7263339,Natalie,"I stayed in this room for almost 2 months and it was very comfortable. The room came with a fridge, microwave, desk and its own bathroom. It was very easy to feel like home there. The location is one of the best things about this place since it took me 10 minutes to get to work (even in traffic. I worked on 6th and Congress). Andrea went above and beyond for her clients. She works very hard to make her clients happy and is very generous. When you do not have time to do laundry, she does it for you. When you need something for your room, she takes care of it right away. She buys special treats for guests from the market, such as candies and watermelon. There would be a couple of days when I would come back from work and she offered me dinner. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone that is staying in Austin, whether it is long or short term. Cereal, oatmeal, tea and coffee are available for breakfast. Free wifi, no water/electric payments. Shopping areas are not too far of a drive either. Overall, I had a great stay!"
985862,9957537,2014-01-21,5813371,Lydia,"Staying at Austin Zen Stay with Andrea feels to me like coming home.  She is a wonderful, loving and attentive host that goes the extra mile to keep guests comfortable and safe.  She provides so many amenities and always goes the extra mile to make everyone happy.  She has a lovely attitude and is  always willing to help. She takes alot of pride in ensuring that everything is nice and clean.  She is extremely hardworking and works around the clock. Andrea makes me feel welcome and like family.  I love her and I love staying here.  I cannot wait to come back.  "
985862,12529965,2014-05-05,11766897,Guillermo,Definitly if i come back to austin i will be come back to andrea.... 100% recommendable
985862,13683708,2014-06-02,15008757,Nestor,"Let me start by stating that Andrea is an amazing host & I highly recommend staying at her place.

This was my first time using airbnb so here goes.  The rooms are as shown, with private bathrooms/showers.  The shared kitchen provides a great common area.  The laundry room is small, but the machines are amazing & easy to use.  The wifi-works, but if too many people are on, it may lag if using Netflix.  Parking was never an issue.

Take advantage of her car rental!  Completely worth it.  She also provides pick-up & drop-off services for the airport at a low price.  I took advantage of both.

The next time I'm in Austin, I am definitely staying at Austin Zen Stay with Andrea!"
985862,22144354,2014-10-31,21020298,Jessica,"Andrea is a very nice and welcoming lady! She will go the extra mile to make you feel at home! Here complimentary ride service to UT is very convenient for students, too. My room was clean and well kept. Everyone staying at Zen Stay is very nice as well. Highly recommend. "
985862,22318414,2014-11-03,18822955,Po-Cheng,"Andrea and George are very nice and generous hosts, they made my stay like at my home. During my stay, Andrea drove me to many spots in Austin, they even drove me all the way to Houston (NASA space center). And the room was very clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay here next time I go to Austin, and I will recommend this place to anyone who are going to traveling to Austin. 

THANK YOU ANDREA AND GEORGE !"
985862,33136876,2015-05-25,8239505,Bonnie,Andrea was so sweet and wonderful! She really goes the extra mile to make you feel at home. The kitchen was stocked with wonderful goodies and she even had krispy kreme donuts and pizza for everyone.  Our room was really nice and the bed is super comfy. She even put some beautiful orchids in our room for our anniversary. If you get the chance to stay with Andrea you definitely should and we definitely will again on our next trip to Austin. Thank you so much for making our trip special and relaxing!
985862,36706960,2015-06-30,31066299,Erin,"Andrea and George were fantastic hosts, giving us exactly what we needed in terms of necessities and privacy, as well as advising us on Austin outings when we asked. I will be travelling to Austin again and will definitely use Andrea's house once more. The rooms are exactly as they are described and furthermore, Andrea goes above and beyond to ensure that you are settled in your surroundings. My husband and I needed an extra desk in our room, which she organised for us in a matter of minutes. "
5262460,28416597,2015-03-23,5015729,Jon,Sarah was a very generous and accommodating host. She was very quick and efficient during the booking process and really helped us out during the SXSW Festival to make this the easiest part of our trip. 
7965843,50637542,2015-10-13,30390075,Kalie,"Perfect ACL location. This place was too cute from the outside....it's grey with Tiffany and Co. colored blue doors and white lamp fixtures! The Inside is very modern and cute as well! Suzie couldn't be there, but she welcomed us with a really nice card and bottle of Texas vodka! This location is great for ACL if you use Uber or Lyft, Suzie actually hooked us up with discounted rides through Lyft. It's like 10 or 15 minutes away from the park. There's a fully stocked kitchen which we used to make breakfast before we headed out to ACL (HEB grocery store is right down the road). The rooms were comfortable, clean and Suzie provided us with an air mattress to sleep our extra guests. Suzies cat truffles was hanging out with us too, but if cats aren't your thing no worries because Suzie asked before hand if we were ok with Truffles company. We had both Suzie and her roommates phone numbers for any questions or comments throughout the weekend. Love Austin! LOVE LOVE ACL! I would def suggest this Air bnb"

4902618,39194869,2015-07-21,36454374,Jake,"Jon and Sarah are awesome!! It was an easy painless process getting the house. We stayed for an extended amount of time.. we liked the neighborhood, and the close proximity to SoCo! They had a nice big yard for our dog to play in.. the house was clean and everything was just as they said it would be. I would absolutely recommend Jon and Sarah's place to anyone! The house was great, and so were they! "
4902618,50503423,2015-10-12,36076768,Fabio,Everything worked well so far for us. Definitely over the best you could find for that price. Kind and welcoming host.
4902618,51335034,2015-10-19,37991962,Christina,Great little house.  felt like our own.  and there was a yard for the doggie.  awesome getaway for the weekend. 
4809253,25579333,2015-01-19,26053282,Hunter,"Great little house! Erica was very helpful. We came down for a friends 30th birthday, plenty of room for 7 of us. Would recommend for anyone looking for a house when traveling with friends."
4809253,28124718,2015-03-18,5619192,Lisa,"Overall, the house was lovely and we had excellent access to downtown Austin (we were in town for SXSW) and the fabulous scene on South Congress. 

However, the property is managed by a group called TurnKey and we had a handful of snafus with communication (we were never given one clear person to be in touch with). We arrived to the house for a busy four work days and it was completely empty of all paper products - no toilet paper and no paper towels, which was an inconvenience for a group traveling and in town for work. "
4809253,30282347,2015-04-20,25378488,Nick,"The place was nice but keep in mind, this is a DUPLEX. It shares a wall with a neighbor unit. Backyard was pretty but fountain was a dirty mosquito pool. Pull out sofas were very uncomfortable for sleeping. Other than that, the place was pretty clean and nice. Easy location for walking to SoCo. Also, check in and check out were quick and easy. "
4809253,31435453,2015-05-05,9647419,Alicia,Great location! Close to everything!  House was spacious and the patio was fantastic.  Communication from the rental folks was good.
4809253,39163309,2015-07-21,22157969,Anthony,This home is amazing! The home was very clean when we arrived and provided all of the amenities we needed to make us comfortable. The neighborhood is very safe and within only a few miles of downtown Austin. I would recommend this home to anyone!
4809253,50641783,2015-10-13,40057731,Sioban,The pre-arrival instructions were spot on and very thorough. The app helped check-in very easy. The house wasn't too far from Zilker and was in a nice area.

5477056,31138719,2015-05-02,21013992,Aina,"Very affordable in comparison with everything else in Austin, TX. I wish Lola had put more detailed description. I completely understand when the amenities were at a minimum. However, After a looong drive and you needed to use the bathroom, it was a bit frustrating when you couldn't even find hand soap in the middle of the night. 
There's not really a place to sit in the living room. I wasn't sure if I could hang out on the hammock looking thing so I didn't even try as I truly didn't want to break anything. 
Her cats are friendly and chatty, my daughter and I actually spent some time playing with both - even the brown one who's a bit more timid than the white one, whom by the way likes to bolt out of the door when you're entering and leaving the apartment so just be aware of that. 
Also, you need to keep the bedroom door open in order for the white pretty kitty not to cry all night so don't do what I did - I closed the door and barely slept. 

Lola's is actually a great hook up if you're only looking for a crash pad because her bed is a king size so plenty of room. 
I also found out that it only took 5 minutes to drive to the infamous Franklin Barbecue!!! Lola should have put that on her description as well. 
If you plan on standing in line from 6 or 7 am to get a piece of that world winning beef brisket, I'd recommend crashing at Lola's. I was fortunate enough to be able to pre-order mine and didn't have to queue for 4 hours. 

"
5477056,31402665,2015-05-04,3931732,John,"Location is superb close to downtown but far enough away to relax. Great communication with host and her cats were really sweet. The apartment was not up to my standard at all though, for thirty dollars I was not expecting anything lavish but cleanliness is a must period. Dirty dishes in the sink, questionable substance covering the shower (mold?), dirty linens on bed with no replacements. Honestly if I wouldn't have shown up to the unit at midnight, drunk with no other place to stay I would not have slept there. Lola's place has loads of potential just needs to drop the dirty dorm room conditions. "
5477056,31623196,2015-05-07,32710449,Marc,"Provide a clean instead of a filthy property. Provide clean bed linens instead of ones that have already obviously been slept on. Provide extra linens so that visitor can change out the ones that have been slept in. Clean the filthy shower so that a human being can actually take a shower + also provide towels so that guests can actually dry off. Clean the filthy dishes in the sink + the kitchen in general. Clean the cat litter regularly so it doesn't smell like cat poop. Put functioning light bulbs in all of the ceiling lights, instead of 1 bulb in a broken lamp. Clean living room. My worst Airbnb experience ever."
5477056,31967996,2015-05-12,31616911,Travis,"I didn't mind that there were cats there, but the place smelled because of them. There was also kitty litter that the cats had tracked onto the bed. I didn't even end up staying there. "
7576657,44209876,2015-08-24,23220786,Kevin,"Our stay in Austin was fantastic.  Jay's place was very nice, clean, and spacious.  The location was great as well. Highly recommended."
7576657,46226959,2015-09-08,11279612,Melody,"Jay was so awesome to work with! He helped us in our time of need - our last airbnb host cancelled on us 2 days before our trip and Jay was nice enough to reach out to me directly when I tried to reserve one of his condos. His responses to all our questions were fast and he was very detailed in helping us. This is by far the best condo we've stayed at - amazing location (near Zilker park, Barton Springs, and walkable distance to restaurants / bars). It was extremely clean, homey, and comfortable. Everything we needed was provided (A/C, wifi, bathroom stuff). The fact that it was so spacious didn't hurt at all - we never felt like we were on top of each other. We would highly recommend this place to all our friends and book again with Jay. "
7576657,51933280,2015-10-25,44881952,Mark,"The house in Austin, Owl House was the perfect location. Jay and team were very responsive to every request. We were 2 couples on vacation. Each had a bedroom and bathroom as advertised. The price was reasonable. Needless to say we were happy and satisfied.

894743,3780404,2013-03-14,3073289,Claire,We really loved staying at Garret's home in the wonderful area of SoCo during SXSW. Garret is a lovely friendly guy and left us some mimosas and beers in the fridge which were really perfect and welcoming after a long plane journey. Great location for SXSW. I enjoyed walking into downtown Austin through South Congress Ave with many interesting and tasty stops along the way. And escaping back to a quiet neighbourhood spot after a busy day ! Thanks Garret !
894743,17416529,2014-08-11,19238496,Sasha,We stayed at the Treehouse for 3 nights and loved it. It was a perfect jumping off point to head downtown and to Barton Springs (we traveled around by car due to the heat!). Garret made himself super available by text and phone calls. Would definitely recommend his home to travelers :)
894743,21234667,2014-10-13,5428428,Troels,My friend and I was so glad to stay here during ACL. Hope to see you next year again Garret!
894743,25205019,2015-01-09,24377583,Lindsey,"So many small details that make the place comfortable & easy to live in, you can tell that Garret put a good deal of thought into this place.  And the same goes for interactions with him.  Knowing that I work nights as a nurse and sleep in the day time, he gave me tips he tested out for creating ambient noise to help me sleep well in the day time.   I stayed for a month during a particularly cold spell in Austin and it took some time to figure out how to best use the space heaters.  Closing the bedroom door w/ the heater on ~30 mins before going to bed and then turning it off ~30 mins after in the room seemed to work well, but it'll be cold when you walk out of the room in the morning.  Just anticipate handling the cold for a bit as the heaters take time to get things warm. 

To me, in person, the place seemed bigger than the online pictures showed.   I felt quite safe in this quiet neighborhood, which is residential, with minimal through-traffic, and very close to a private university campus.  The location in general is close to many things in Austin, but not so close that you're paying for it in price & loudness.  "
894743,25958471,2015-01-31,24367433,Taylor,"We stayed in the Treehouse for three weeks and had the greatest time! Garret was so welcoming and provided us with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, from information about the neighborhood and local activities to a local wine and fresh herbs for us to enjoy.  The apartment was a great clean space that had every amenity that you could need. The location, right off SoCo, was amazing - a five to ten minute walk away from a local artisan grocery store, supermarket, laundromat, pharmacy, bank, pool, and restaurants. It's a nice laid-back community conveniently located close to Austin hotspots. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. We'd go back in a heartbeat."
894743,27248683,2015-03-01,8672674,Lucas,"Garret was a great host. He answered all the questions I had before the stay and the check-in was easy. He also gave me a good tour of the apartment and made sure I had everything I needed. The place is set up, well, clean, and had everything I needed. There is also a decent sized patio that I took advantage of. The wifi is very fast as well."
894743,27608754,2015-03-08,28186872,Jackelyn,"I just returned from a three night stay at Garret's treehouse. The place was very clean and welcoming. He even left a couple of beers in the fridge for our first night. All of Garret's recommendations for nearby food were fantastic - definitely check out the avocado margaritas at Curra's Grill. 

The location was perfect and exactly what we were looking for and for a great price. The place was small yet adorable. It has everything you could need for a couple of nights in Austin. I have no complaints!

Thanks, Garret!"
894743,28299306,2015-03-22,25033768,Charles,"Simple place, with a kitchenette. Right off the bus stop, so getting to the heart of downtown is a breeze. Great for SXSW."
894743,30285525,2015-04-20,18841553,Maxime,"Perfect and quiet location ! Close to South Congress and all his conveniences ( Bus Stop, HEB, Pharmacy ... ) ! I stayed a month in the Treehouse and Garret was a great host ! It was clean and this place is peaceful !! I highly recommend for a stay in Austin . Thanks Garret !!"

894743,33138055,2015-05-25,22498410,Ariel,"The apartment was clean and exactly as described. Garret did a great job of communicating with us before our arrival and even though he was out of town, he made us feel welcome and even left a couple of beers in the fridge for us to enjoy. We knew he was only a phone call away if we needed anything. We appreciated the recommendations he gave us, especially the local mexican restaurant with their famous avocado margaritas. Garret was definitely a great host and I would recommend his place to anyone going to Austin.  "
894743,33698428,2015-05-31,9186138,Michael,"We had a lovely long weekend  in Austin. Garrett's treehouse hideaway, nestled into a beautiful So Congress neighborhood, was just the spot to rest our weary bones between tacos and barbecue. Easily reachable and a good communicator, Garret was a great host. Thanks Garrett!"
894743,35332567,2015-06-17,8083907,Cody,"We loved staying here! Small, clean and quiet. Garret was super easy to contact and very quick to respond. He left us cold beer in the fridge, and coffee and eggs for breakfast. Gave us great food suggestions. Recommended!

894743,41580459,2015-08-08,29758320,Macy,"I stayed here in the Treehouse for 6 weeks while I was interning here in Austin. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! The location was perfect; it was a close drive to downtown and a nice walk to South Congress and South First Street. The place itself was everything I could have asked for for an extended stay. It was just the right amount of room for me, and it was great when friends came over too!

Garret was a great host. He checked on me to make sure I was comfortable, and even brought by bug spray and mail that I had forwarded to his address during my stay. I would highly recommend this place, and will look back on this cute treehouse and my 6 weeks in Austin with fondness. "
894743,50451688,2015-10-12,38107971,Destiny,"We had a great time at the treehouse in Austin!  Prime location!  Close to everything we ever wanted to do!  The place itself was small, but clean and livable... you won't spend much time at ""home"" in Austin anyway!"
4370174,24108367,2014-12-20,23537451,Vahid,"Christiano is very easy-going and cool guy. He really helped me through providing quiet and clean home. The cat was lovely and I really enjoy this cat. Personally, I am not a cat man but really enjoy playing with this cat. The home is located near UT and downtown which is good for someone looking for somewhere accessible by many places. The room is clean and quiet. Thanks for Christiano for providing me such a good place with cheap expenses."
4370174,25089091,2015-01-06,23677120,Shauna,We had a great experience here with Christiano. He was away on holiday so we had a large space to ourselves (Ekhart the cat is great fun and not a pest) and were looked after by a friend of his who would check up on the cat and gave us advice. Location is great especially once you work out the bus (we got a week $9 pass and got to explore a lot of Austin) Christiano is great at keeping in contact - even from afar and the whole process was smooth! 
4370174,25769637,2015-01-25,5804257,Luke,Christiano was a great host. Friendly guy very welcoming and easy going. The apartment is walking distance to downtown and only a few minutes from bus stops. The kitty is friendly and caused no problems. Really appreciated the use of netflix! Thanks Christiano. 
4370174,27246701,2015-03-01,23981188,Jarrod,"Christiano is an excellent host who made me feel both welcome and safe. Throughout my month-long stay he went above and beyond to accommodate me by:
 
- Sharing his Wi-Fi, Netflix, refrigerator/cabinet space,  etc... 
- Offering the use of his Costco membership so I could stock up on groceries for my stay. 
- Providing toiletries, towels, blankets, etc... 
- Sharing his knowledge of things to do and see in Austin. 
- Being conscientious about noise: He thoughtfully asked to make sure that his TV/music wasn't disturbing me while I was studying in the evenings. 

About the accommodation:

- The location is amazing and, for me, could not have been better. I was easily able to walk to UT, the capitol building and make the occasional foray into the downtown area. If walking isn't your thing there are tons of nearby bus stops; and, if you have a car then you can drive wherever you need to go, safe with the knowledge that you'll have a spot to park when you get back.  

- The room itself is cozy and was adequate for my needs. I was able to use the closet to hang up my clothes and store some of my bags. 

- The bed, a fold-out couch, was fine for my needs but if you have a bad back you might want to bring a foam pad for some extra cushioning. 

- The bathroom is clean, and has ample racks and hooks for towels and clothing. The shower never had any issues with hot water while I was there, so there's no need to worry about having an unexpected cold shower!

All in all, this was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend Christiano's listing to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. "
5404767,28181311,2015-03-19,26367807,Marcellus,"Excelente acomodação. O Max foi muito atencioso, nós deu muitas dicas e realmente nos fez se sentir em casa. Se eu voltar para Austin não pensarei duas vezes em falar com ele primeiro. O sofá é realmente grande e cabem duas pessoas, também é confortável e tem muitas cobertas e travesseiros. Dá pra cozinhar e trabalhar na casa. Tem uma localização muito boa. Recomendo em todos os sentidos."
5404767,43731739,2015-08-21,4551350,Paloma,"We had such a pleasant time at Max's. Although it was just to crash for one night to head out to Albuquerque the next day, we can say for sure that anybody would have a good time at his place. We came in late and were all over the place because of tiredeness but Max was patient and really helpful. He took the time to tell us what was around and recommended a great place for a late dinner. His house is so lovely. Its cozy and so confortable. Because he could this time, he let us have the entire place for the night which was unexpected. So kind Max; we really appreciate it. We had a awesome night of rest and we would def stay with you again if we come back to Austin - which we should do to enjoy the city a bit more. 
Take care!"
5404767,50336632,2015-10-11,44388451,Michael,Max was nice and apt was clean.

5468847,27744755,2015-03-10,16759205,Kate,"Katherine was a great host. Although we didn't get a chance to meet, she was quick to response and all
instructions were clear. She also left a wonderful ""just in case"" basket full of toiletries and goodies in case we forgot anything! As for the space, it was accurately described and very clean. My boyfriend and I stayed while our places were being rented out and it was all we needed. Location is great for UT students, too. "
5468847,27863197,2015-03-13,28781070,Alexa,This was our first airbnb experience and katherine was great to work with! She got back to me very quickly and answered all of my many questions. Her apartment is adorable and was perfect for 3 ppl. Getting around the area was a breeze too. I would recommend this apartment to anybody traveling through Austin for a night! 
5468847,27952064,2015-03-15,28371688,Mike,"Host left a nice basket of toiletries for us in case we forgot anything at home, which was really considerate. The studio was wonderful and exactly what we were looking for. Perfect location, easy access to downtown Austin and the surrounding area. Parking was hassle-free. Great stay, thank you for the hospitality!"

She also went so far as to leave us some bagels and orange juice for breakfast. The apartment was spotless and perfect for our short stay in Austin. Great location! I would recommend staying at Katherine's place next time you are in Austin. "
5468847,29952378,2015-04-14,8362276,Katherine,"The apartment was clean and cute, and Katherine was incredibly nice.   Because it was close to everything, traffic noise was a little high in the morning. "
5468847,30226455,2015-04-19,3443472,Patrick,We loved the apartment. Katherine left us a great little gift bag of toiletries in case we needed it. There was also a convenience store and taco truck down the street. We had a great time.

5468847,32432241,2015-05-17,33200323,Prins,It was clean when we arrived at the apt and everything was readily available for us to use.  We had a good three nights. We would love to recommend this place to anybody who wants to visit Austin!!!!!
5468847,33853113,2015-06-01,33765619,Melissa,The host provided us a hand-written note with instructions and a very welcoming message! She was very accommodating and made sure to contact me several times before our stay.  It was in convenient location with a fantastic coffee/pastry shop (Quack's) within walking distance 
5468847,34336053,2015-06-07,33691144,Courtney Pinar,"Katherine recommended a taco truck in the neighborhood that was so, so good (breakfast tacos were my favorite). She left us candies and other helpful goodies and told me to let her know if I needed anything which I really appreciated. The description was accurate and it was just what we needed! Thanks so much for everything."
5468847,37271670,2015-07-05,37363542,Brooke,Katherine was a great host! Great location! She even left us fresh peaches and cherries!! Definatly recommend!! We loved the place for a fun girls weekend!
5468847,49390095,2015-10-03,128696,Jeffrey,Excellent location. Great instructions. Easy handoff of key. Pay attention to her written parking instructions.  Parking is easily available but behind the apt. Thanks! 
5468847,49591258,2015-10-05,14256007,Dina,"We stayed here for 2 days. The place was clean and comfortable. It takes 25 minutes by bus to get to downtown.
We did not meet Katherine but she was nice to let us check in early."
5468847,50260224,2015-10-10,46034689,Cassandra,"Very cute place and close enough to downtown. Make sure you park where she suggests since the location has strict towing policy. She left little chocolates for us on the table and a welcome note with some information for us. I love that she has artwork up, made good conversastion topics for my boyfriend an I. Would definitely stay here again. "
5468847,50615743,2015-10-13,29213089,Miguel,"Katherine was a great host, great location in a really nice neighborhood. The apartment was excellent and had a really nice cozy feel to it. Would definitely stay here again. "
5468847,51476517,2015-10-20,14951464,Jason,The host was very accommodating to us.  The place was exactly what we wanted.  I couldn't be happier with the stay.  
4262528,27945065,2015-03-15,15184137,Michelle,"This quaint home was the ideal place for a SXSW weekend getaway. Plenty of room for me and my guests, clean, accessible location and lots of Austin charm.  I especially loved the vinyl record collection! Julia was easy to communicate with. All in all a fun weekend. "
4262528,28398088,2015-03-23,23443922,Paul,"Great house and great host!! Julia was very easy to communicate with and friendly! The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, that is at the same time not too far from downtown Austin. "

4089677,22310645,2014-11-03,15645352,Jonathon,Lauren was a great host and was very welcoming on our arrival. She has a beautiful house and the bedrooms were both very well kept.
4089677,28038059,2015-03-16,9230706,Betty,Lauren and Clint were great hosts! Really made us feel welcome in their home and responded quickly to any questions we had! The two bedrooms were spacious and perfect for us (three girls) to stay for the weekend. Overall had a wonderful experience in Austin!
4089677,29896489,2015-04-13,30781518,Nina,Lauren was a great host. She left paleo friendly snacks in a basket which were delicious and very thoughtful. The house was tidy and clean! More than enough room for 5 ppl. I would recommend staying here 
4089677,33176558,2015-05-25,26088510,Alyssa,Lauren and Clint were wonderful host! We absolutely LOVED staying with them! Not to mention Ninja and Mango! We absolutely fell in love with them. They were really sweet and love able dogs. The rooms and the house were really comfortable and cozy. Would DEFINITELY stay here again anytime we are back in Austin! Thank you Clancy's for making our trip so wonderful! 
5395919,46512175,2015-09-11,358796,Sebastian,"Although I didn't have the pleasure of meeting Heidi in person, she made sure that I was taken care of during my time in her house and made me feel very welcome on my arrival. I have enjoyed my stay.
The location of the house I great, it has easy access to bus lines and isn't far away from the UoT campus and downtown. "
4280376,21067151,2014-10-10,2166972,Matthew,"Denise and the tiny retreat were delightful. Her tiny home away from home was filled with so many lovely details to inspire us and she made us feel right at home with her generosity. If you've never stayed in a tiny house, we highly recommend this one, it'll make you rethink how big little can be. "
4280376,21550474,2014-10-19,22282500,Greg,"Denise was an absolutely wonderful host who made us feel more than welcome. We arrived early and she was more than accomadating to our punctuality by dropping everything to come meet us. The Tiny House may look small but is deceptively roomy and had plenty of ammenites including extra toothbrushes and soap. The backyard was made more than availible and, while we did not have a chance to enjoy it, looked quite enjoyable. The Tiny Pad was secure and very close to sixth street with room for parking on the side street. While the hardware such as the electric toilet still had some bugs to work out; it was wonderfully decorated and we felt it is an eye opening experience to anyone who is looking into tinyhomes or small living. "
4280376,21983424,2014-10-27,4439342,Manuel,I had a great time staying at Denise's tiny pad. She was a great and friendly and helpful host who also gave me plenty of space and time to myself. Her backyard and the curation of the tiny house were lovely and made for a great place to come back to after working and conferencing in Austin.
4280376,22167862,2014-10-31,9743992,Don,"Denise is responsive and informative with communications, and was very flexible with me as my arrival time changed.  Her backyard ""tiny house"" is intentionally-designed as a compact house.  She has equipped it thoughtfully with everything needed for a short-term stay.  Though the house is tiny, the backyard setting is roomy and lovely.  And the location is located in close proximity to great food and drink along 11th Street."
4280376,22251689,2014-11-02,22261809,Fallon,"such a great experience! denise is a wonderful host and her ""tiny house"" has everything you need : just like a hotel  + more"
4280376,22987465,2014-11-19,3221362,Christopher,"From the time and process of staying in a tiny home for the first time, Denise made us feel welcomed. She is very prompt in her responses and communication. The tiny home experience is great. One word I can say about the stay is ""well-stocked"" toiletries and necessities. It feels warm and cozy. We were close enough to downtown Austin yet still far away in the quiet neighborhood. Denise is a great host and her tiny home reflects it. I recommend this place to anyone that wants to feel like home away from home :)"
4280376,23129569,2014-11-23,21332306,Brittney,Denise was a wonderful host and this cute micro home in her backyard was an absolute treat to stay at!!! Everything about our stay was better than we could have imagined. We enjoyed every minute of it! 
4280376,23337743,2014-11-29,5974722,Jen,"This was my first time using Airbnb and Denise and I traded emails before we even got to Austin. That made me feel very comfortable. She would respond very fast to any of our needs and questions! When we arrived Denise and her two adorable pups Penny Lane, and Muddy Waters greeted us with a warm welcome and made us feel very comfortable! She went above and beyond having bagels, cereal, milk, and even treats for our pups. Her tiny house is an amazing experience and it is a hidden gem in the city of Austin. Her back yard is the perfect oasis. We had friends over in the evening and had a small party with a bonfire she was more than happy to share her space. Even though it was in the city you could not hear a peep and we slept like babies! She had everything in the tiny house including, towels, tooth brush, tooth paste, tiny iron etc. If you have the chance to travel to Austin I strongly suggest staying here! 
"
4280376,23380126,2014-11-30,22304806,Jeff,"Denise was a fantastic host and our stay was impeccable.  Every detail about the tiny house and backyard was perfect, and we can't wait for a return visit."
4280376,23570370,2014-12-05,4224725,CindySue,"My first actual Tiny House experience was fabulous, partly due to the incredible hospitality from Denise. All the comforts and amenities of home were right at my fingertips - literally!
The bed is super comfy, the water is hot, the water pressure is great, the multitude of windows and views makes you feel like you are in a secluded, wooded area, which you basically are.
Oh, and the dogs - super friendly, but not intrusive.
Can't say enough good things!
Great, great experience. Denise - you rock!"
4280376,23601789,2014-12-06,23458428,Brenda,"Denise was very welcoming and friendly, from the time we booked the tiny pad until we said our goodbyes! The neighborhood was close to everything we had planned. This listing description was accurate and the pictures are as cozy as the real thing! We were traveling with our furry companion and although HE has being a little difficult Denise made things very easy for us by accommodating us with the space we needed. All in all it was quite an awesome experience, especially for me, as it was my first time as an AirBnB guest and my first time staying in a tiny pad! "
4280376,23949165,2014-12-15,2399525,Jasmine,"Denise is a wonderful and caring host. She greeted us when we arrived, had plenty of suggestions for things to do in Austin, and even left us breakfast goodies in the morning. The tiny house is so cute and fun to stay in. The property the house is on is inviting, and the location is so close to everything! We would definitely stay here again. Why stay in a boring hotel when you can live in a ""tiny house"" for a few days? We felt like staying here added to the Austin experience."
4280376,24026878,2014-12-17,16440339,Kaitlyn,Denise was the best host I've ever had from airb&b. She made sure we felt comfortable and knew how her tiny house worked. We will recommend her to family members when they come to Austin for sure. 
4280376,24626848,2014-12-31,3492723,Kim,"Denise was a phenomenal host. She truly went above and beyond in every way to make our stay fantastic. The tiny pad is adorable, and just staying in it was a fun experience in and of itself. It's amazing how much functionality is built into the tiny pad - literally everything we needed was there. It was wintery when we stayed - but the tiny pad stayed warm and cozy, the shower was hot, and the coffee was flowin! You can't beat this location. Great coffee shop a block away, the hottest part of town for restaurants and bars that you can walk to in minutes, and easy access to the major highway. The tiny pad has it all. This place really is the best way to experience Austin. "
4280376,24677771,2015-01-01,24916954,Chelsea,"We had such a wonderful night in Denise's Tiny Pad! The neighborhood is a great location for those visiting Austin, or for those of us who live here, but want a ""staycation"". It is close to coffee shops and the hip East side food and bar scene. The Tiny Pad itself is adorable. It is everything we were hoping for and more. The way Denise has decorated is creative, warm, and welcoming. We left feeling inspired! She was a gracious host, made everything effortless for us, and was very accommodating from the day I booked our reservation throughout our whole stay. She even modified her own pups' outdoor schedule to meet the needs of our dogs. Two thumbs up all around!  "
4280376,24989183,2015-01-04,7749182,Victor,"If you ever wanted to experience tiny living, then this is a great place to start! Denise was a great host! Her tiny space is beautiful and the it is placed in her backyard which makes you feel like you are nowhere near a city! Denise is the kind of host that is there as much or as little as you want her to be. For my wife and I we sat around with her one night just to pick her brain about tiny living and building. This isn't your normal place to stay so be ready for some corky differences that come with tiny living, but it is definantly a cozy way to spend time in Austin! "
4280376,25063347,2015-01-05,15581338,Teresa,"The Tiny House is a perfect place of retreat for all who wish to explore Austin from an off beaten path. We were very much inspired by Denise's remarkable attention to detail & unparalleled hospitality. Every single nook and cranny of the house is carefully thought out and utilized for various purposes, and finding all the little charming elements around the house truly made the experience special. While small in size, the house felt quite spacious and airy with abundant natural light. Thanks for sharing the little gem with us, it was such a pleasure!"
4280376,25243997,2015-01-10,25016920,Brandon,"Denise,

In all of our stays, this has been the most pleasurable experience ever. The East Side Tiny Pad is a dwelling designed with every aspect in mind; comfortable, convenience and uber cute. Your southern hospitality is so welcoming, and you make your guests feel as if they're truly at home. Thank you for all of your help in making our trip to Austin ridiculously awesome.

4280376,25471174,2015-01-17,2151387,Matthew,Really loved this tiny house - great amenities and very comfortable.  Even the toilet was easy to use as long as instructions were followed.  Will definitely stay here again on future trips to Austin!
4280376,25701199,2015-01-23,26363502,Mathew,This place was fantastic! Denise was so helpful and made everything so comfortable. It's super close to E 6th and we had a awesome night both at East Side Show Room and at the tiny house. Will definitely be back next time we're in Austin. 
4280376,25719860,2015-01-24,21529067,Kristi,What an amazing gem! Denise is wonderful and went far beyond any of my expectations. She was always available and super helpful. If your heading to Austin don't pass this place by.
4280376,25768625,2015-01-25,25965591,Janine,"Had a wonderful stay at the Tiny Pad. Premises were as they were depicted in the photographs: hip, cozy, well-decorated and immaculately clean. Denise was a friendly, helpful and knowledgable host, not to mention her sensibility and attention to detail are a traveler's dream; the pad had everything from toiletries to electronics to snacks in the fridge. The beautiful backyard patio with ample seating, heat lamp and fire pit  was an added bonus to the experience. Parking was ample, the neighborhood safe, and the location superb. I will definitely be returning in the future. "
4280376,25959667,2015-01-31,19244328,Katelyn,"We had a great time! The toilet did give me some anxiety even after re-reading the instructions you left, only because I was afraid of doing something incorrectly. But it was a great learning experience, since we are building our own tiny house we discovered an incinerating toilet wouldn't work as well for us. I loved the tiny house and all the unique touches you put into it."
4280376,26017680,2015-02-01,168296,Kelli,My stay in Austin at denise's tiny house was great! Denise was a very thoughtful host and the house had everything you would need for an overnight stay. The house is so functional and so well designed/decorated. Would love to come back for another stay! 
4280376,26248709,2015-02-08,25122636,Kimberly,"Waking up this morning in my own bed was not as nice or as peaceful as waking up in the the loft area of the ""Tiny Heaven."" Denise has done such an incredible job of making the space feel inviting and warm, as well as thinking of everything a guest could potentially need. (Our favorite being the cozy, non-slip hospital socks - I mean, she really has thought of EVERYTHING.) Denise was there to welcome us as soon as we arrived and was accessible by text/call/email throughout the duration of our stay with any questions or needs we might come across. Having the backyard essentially to ourselves (and playtime with Muddy Waters and Penny Lane) was an added bonus! My girlfriend and I are now strongly considering getting a Basset/Lab Mix after falling in love with Muddy Waters' spastic personality and compassionate, tail-wagging greetings. The location and neighborhood of the tiny pad could not have worked out better for us. Staying here for our anniversary weekend, as well as our first tiny house experience, was the best of both worlds. We truly did not want to leave, but so happy we got to stay in such a well designed and cozy tiny house over the weekend! Cheers to YOU, Denise!!"
4280376,26526164,2015-02-15,2027210,Steven,"Staying at Denise's tiny house is what airbnb is all about! She is a friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating host who truly made us feel at home in her amazing backyard oasis. The tiny house itself is one-of-a-kind, and the location is PERFECT for exploring Austin... in fact, I can't imagine a more ""Austin"" place to stay. We'll definitely be back!"
4280376,26658579,2015-02-16,9348684,Natalie,"Denise's Tiny Pad Retreat was an absolute dream! My compatriot and I were intrigued and then awed by the contrapuntal design and detail that makes this trailer based tiny home ALL YOU NEED IN AUSTIN TX! A backyard and fire pit to boot, we felt so at home and secluded right in the East Side. Denise had everything prepared perfectly and she answered our compounding questions in detail as we realized just how much effort and love went into this home. We are now researching two things: when to come back to Austin and how to build our own!!! Thank you so much!"
4280376,26793700,2015-02-19,7097472,Todd,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time in Denise's amazing Tiny Pad. Firstly there is Denise. She is a natural host and really goes the distance to make guests feel comfortable and fully equipped for the tiny house experience. I enjoyed chatting with her about the house and hosting (I host too) and found her most accommodating and pleasant. Then there's the tiny house. It's really a sight to behold. Magnificently conceived and executed, it's an engineering marvel. That coupled with Denise's superb decorating and amenity stocking and you've got a first class one-of-a-kind experience (she has thought of absolutely everything). 

If you're interested in tiny houses and understand what's involved going in you're in for a real treat staying here. I could imagine some having some mixed feelings about the incinerating toilet contraption, but we didn't find it too strange or daunting. The stairs will not be for those with any trouble getting around or climbing, and the shower can take some getting used to as well on account of the small size but I thought it was kind of fun. Basically though, if you're comfortable with trading some square feet for charm you'll be so glad you stayed here. I personally loved it. Thanks Denise!"
4280376,26859358,2015-02-21,24365634,Heather,"Denise and the East Side Tiny Pad are amazing. Denise is very friendly and so are the pups. She seems to think of everything you'd need and even had some delicious local beer in the fridge. The tiny house was adorable and though it was my first tiny house experience, it certainly won't be my last. "
4280376,26941677,2015-02-22,27284239,Jesse,Denise was great! She always kept in contact with us even weeks before our stay. The tiny house was awesome as it was our first experience in one. We will definitely be back. Thanks Denise! 
4280376,27111682,2015-02-25,4812128,Katy,"Having read so much about Tiny Homes, I jumped at the opportunity to stay in one. True to her description, Denise has made a hip oasis in   a super central location. My stay felt like an adventurous exploration, of living small yet large and of layered East Austin. I can't wait to return!

Denise is a consummate host: even when my travel plans became completely snarled and delayed, she stayed up late to give me the necessary introduction to all of the Tiny Pad's quirky yet convenient features. Beyond warmly greeting everyone upon arrival, Denise has anticipated her guests' every need from morning coffee to a rolling desk and scotch tape. And her playful pups continue the hospitality with tail wagging and nuzzles.

This experience has made me want to explore the possibility of living tiny all of the time. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to be so inspired!"
4280376,27180271,2015-02-27,27702302,Michael,"Denise was a fantastic host, from making sure everything was stocked and clean and awesome, to giving us the grand tour of the tiny house and show us all the bells and whistles, to giving us our privacy when necessary.  The tiny house was amazing - it seems almost everything was thought through, and we had a great ""adventure"" adjusting to living in such an awesome cozy place.  Heads up, though: it's supposed to be tiny, so pack light, and be ready for doing some things a little differently than you're used to.     If you're cool with that, you'll have as great a time as we did!  Also, bring some flip-flops, the shower floor can be a bit cold on winter mornings."
4280376,27498164,2015-03-06,11526208,Hannah,"Denise always went above and beyond to welcome me at her home. An incredible host. She showed me where everything was in the house, so I felt instantly comfortable and knowledgable. The backyard was an oasis and the neighborhood was quirky and interesting. I walked back and forth from the tiny home to the Austin Convention Center every day (about 1.4 miles each way) for 4 days and always felt safe and loved the variety of my walk. East Austin is so fun. Took an Uber from downtown one night when it got too late, and it was only about $7. The loft with its windows was perfect. The bed was unbelievably comfortable. Never bumped into Denise's roommate, so I had the tiny house and backyard to myself.

Things to know: The shower space will be a bit cramped. Definitely usable, but the whole house is approx. 100 sq ft, so there is NO extra room in the shower. 

This house is SMALL. I'm saving for a tiny house of my own, so I knew what I was getting into, but you should be aware that the home is definitely meant for a short-term, unique experience. 

If you want to have a small, private, unique space — Definitely choose this place. There won't be a boring moment, and your accommodations will match the funky Austin spirit around you. "
4280376,27648807,2015-03-09,7149811,Kayleigh,We had a wonderful experience staying in Denise's tiny house. She was incredibly hospitable and was more then willing to share her austin experience with us and her knowledge of tiny houses! Can't wait to visit again! 
4280376,27760717,2015-03-11,198662,Joshua,"Denise's tiny house was a hit from start to finish.  She's great at communication before and during the stay and just wants you to be happy.  The house itself is so much fun to experience and something everyone should do at least once in their lifetimes.  Location wise you are 5 min walk from the hipness of eateries and bars in east Austin, but tucked quietly in a residential area to sleep and relax when you want."
4280376,28250506,2015-03-21,13505245,Joel,Had a great stay in Denise's micro cabin/trailer. Plenty of great tiny moments. Thx Denise for the great hospitality
4280376,28576589,2015-03-26,17198560,Corey,"Denise was an amazing host, the tiny house was amazing and tidy, and just down the street from one of our favorite coffee shops "
4280376,28667599,2015-03-28,1335017,Ivylise,"Denise is such a wonderful host! The tiny house is everything my partner and I needed for our first trip to Austin! Denise also provided us with amazing bikes to get around downtown Austin, adding to such a great experience. We loved every minute of our stay!"
4280376,28697971,2015-03-29,25489694,Lorie,Upon arrival we were immediately welcomed by Denise after which we received pertinent information regarding our stay. The Hip East Side Tiny Pad was exactly as described nestled in an unique eclectic neighborhood.
4280376,29047747,2015-04-03,466561,Jocelyn,"Denise's tiny house was incredible! Totally comfortable, stylishly outfitted, and with more amenities than most full size airbnbs I've stayed at. The outdoor space is also gorgeous and peaceful, and the location super-central to all of the activities on 6th street. Highly recommended!"
4280376,29489774,2015-04-08,27110548,Bryce,"The neighborhood was great. We rented bikes from Denise and were able to easily bike to the river, the greenbelt and downtown. Parking was very easy and we felt safe leaving the car overnight. 

The tiny house was wonderful to stay in.  Very private and comfortable. The backyard was also great for being eating dinner and drinking some Austin craft beer. It was way cheaper than going out and way better

Denise was a great host and her dogs were wonderful. She made sure we had everything we needed. "
4280376,29572211,2015-04-09,1668174,Richard,"What an amazing place!  Denise has thought of everything.  We loved our one night in the tiny palace - a great location near to some really nice cafes, restaurants and bars.  Denise was very welcoming and accomodated us extremely kindly.  Would love to be back."
4280376,29630781,2015-04-10,29859381,Denise,"I stayed at the tiny house for one night with my boyfriend. Before arriving Denise was very good at communicating all important information, whether an early check- in would be available, and restaurant suggestions. Staying in the tiny house is definitely an experience every one should try. It was comfortable and amazing how all your needs could be met in limited space with some creative thinking. The house was stocked with all hotel amenities plus more. I was very impressed. Denise was always available to answer questions. I can't say enough good things about my stay here."
4280376,29730275,2015-04-12,20835337,Jeff,We enjoyed our tiny house adventure at Denise's place in east Austin. Denise was very kind and helpful and made us feel right at home. The location was very convenient and it was easy to get out and about to enjoy all Austin has to offer.
4280376,29926931,2015-04-14,24836064,Megan,"Denise was a wonderful host who was very accommodating even when our timing for arrival changed at the last minute. The house is exactly as portrayed in the pictures and was truly a tiny house experience. The neighborhood was very nice, with a coffee shop only a block away and cute towns only short drives away. Denise met us on site to give us a tour of the house and explain how everything in the house works - and even stocked the fridge with some goodies for our stay. We only were able to stay one night, but we would definitely stay again on our next trip to Austin! "
4280376,30018757,2015-04-16,10301219,Jon,Denise was a wonderful host and the tiny house was beautiful! Super homey feeling and amazing attention to detail. The neighborhood was very welcoming and safe and they coffee shop around the corner (Purveyor's) is top notch. Denise went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting hip East Austin!
4280376,30193350,2015-04-19,27186043,Marion,"Our stay in the Tiny Pad was truely a unique and wonderful experience!  Denise was the perfect hostest! She accomodated our every need and even let us take shelter inside her house when we came home to a horrible thunderstorm with high winds and hail!  We brought along our little dog, who also had a great time.  Denise was helpful to make sure she was settled in and went out and checked on her while we were out!  The Tiny pad is very tastefully decorated, and the yard is like a perfect oasis!  We highly recommend Denise's Tiny Pad for anyone traveling to Austin, who wants to experience something great and out of the ordinary!!"
4280376,30472195,2015-04-22,19846011,BeckiJo,It was so lovely! It's tiny but I found that to be homey and so so cozy. Would totally stay there again. And the hostess is a wonderful lady! 
4280376,30574425,2015-04-24,26412754,Donna,"Denise's tiny home is the perfect place to visit in Austin! The area is quaint- there are some wonderful destinations right nearby, and it is close to downtown Austin. The home is lovely and charming- the outdoor patio is also a great place to spend time. Denise is very attentive and pleasant, she really made sure our stay was wonderful, and it was. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit!"
4280376,31121997,2015-05-02,30662050,Azalia,"Denise was such a wonderful host, you couldn't dream up a better experience! The tiny home is so well appointed & decorated that you truly feel at home. Great location & a cozy inviting yard with lovable dogs doesn't hurt any either. Staying in a place this unique is the only way to experience Austin & you will not regret it! "
4280376,31252032,2015-05-03,9014896,Allison,"Denise was extremely welcoming and informative about her tiny house. The house was very clean and she really paid attention to the details- if you could possibly need something, the house was most likely already equipped with it! Location was great, neighborhood is very safe and close to downtown or hip east side bars and restaurants. I highly recommend staying in Denise's tiny house! "
4280376,31442496,2015-05-05,28301279,Alex,"Denise is a pro.  We stayed in her tiny house, but were visiting family in the area.  Even when we had limited time to meet and check-in, she was ultra accommodating and generous.  If you have any interest in staying small and in the area, book her tiny house now!"
4280376,31621427,2015-05-07,8141116,Becca,"Denise was super welcoming, helpful and wonderful. It was such a treat staying at the tiny house. So adorable, cozy and the perfect little romantic get away for a night :) the neighbourhood is also really cool, lots of neat shops, a few restaurants and a great coffee shop walking distance. Next time in Austin I will be booking here for sure! Great host, great place :) "
4280376,32029885,2015-05-12,223050,Justin,"Denise provided a great little retreat from the outside world. Her tiny house had everything one might need for a night or two away from home. Her communication was awesome, and she went to great lengths to make sure everything was just right. We LOVED our stay, and would visit again in a heartbeat."
4280376,32094960,2015-05-13,32998915,Zachary,"Denise was so nice and accomodating! Tiny Home was as advertised and more. Pictures don't do justice. Loft bed slept my wife and I comfortably.  3 houses down from one of the best coffee shops in Austin, Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique stay. "
4280376,32476302,2015-05-18,29577384,Mabel,Our experience at the Tiny Pad was amazing! Denise is a wonderful host. We were in Austin for work and had  a lot of luggage. Denise reached out and was totally accommodating. The Tiny Pad is so cute! It was absolutely perfect. Thank you Denise!
4280376,32859375,2015-05-22,25192578,Jake,Staying in the tiny pad was great! Everything was clean and ready for us when we got there. Denise was an excellent host!
4280376,32929490,2015-05-23,26993170,Ruthe,"Denise was extremely organized and made the experience stress free!  
The tiny house was clean, cute, and comfortable.  The pad is within walking/biking distance to downtown as well as South congress.  

The pad was also only one block away from FIGURE 8 COFFEE PURVEYORS which was a fabulous way to start our morning off right. "
4280376,33280475,2015-05-26,32089029,Gisella,"We stayed in the tiny pad for our ""mini moon"", right after our wedding. It was beyond great. It's located in an awesome neighborhood, and is pretty close to all of the action going on in central Austin. The tiny pad, itself, is jam packed with super thoughtful details (like a keurig; a mini fridge filled with little treats and  candy; and amenities, like toothbrushes, shampoo, soap, etc.) provided by our thoughtful host, Denise. We had the BEST time in Austin, and we cannot recommend this place enough. This was our first time using Airbnb and I think Denise has spoiled us for other Airbnb hosts, for sure.  "
4280376,33440310,2015-05-28,2449938,Renee,What a kind and warm welcome to Austin! Denise was such a great host and during a time of ciaos with the 2015 Texas floods she was very flexible with changing our arrival date. We have been looking at building our own tiny home and this 95 sq. ft pad was the perfect introduction for us. A great way to test what you want is to try it out! She was awesome about taking the time to answer all our tiny home questions and I am sure the if we ever build one we will be calling her with  design questions!  My husband and I think of Denise not just as a host but a new friend we hope to keep in touch with!  
4280376,33534186,2015-05-29,12283589,Emma,"We had such a nice stay in the tiny pad - Denise looked after us well, right from the beginning when planning our trip, to explaining how everything in the pad works. It truly was unlike anywhere we have stayed before. The pad had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable; Denise really thought through every detail. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Austin!"
4280376,33818486,2015-06-01,6936630,Ellen,"Such a wonderful, thoughtful space! I can't believe how many amenities were fit into the cute little space. We loved our time there and Denise was great!"
4280376,34343427,2015-06-07,33936715,Graham,"Our stay in the tiny house was perfect. We were greeted with local beers and a tour of the space. Denise has thought of every possible detail in making this the best spot to stay in Austin. The best soap, the most comfortable bed, the best location and the best hostess. We can not wait to come back. Thank you Denise! "
4280376,34945421,2015-06-14,27021458,Aislinn,"Oh how we loved this incredible tiny house!! Denise gave us a thorough tour of the space when we arrived so we felt extremely comfortable right away. She even had some beer and snacks in the fridge for us! Everything is there to ensure you have a completely comfortable stay! We had forgotten some shampoo and other toiletries and it was all there in this wonderful space. The bed is incredibly comfortable, the AC is a workhorse and was a godsend, and the shower pressure was strong! Perfect way to cool off after a hot hot Austin day. If you ever need anything, Denise is there and more than happy to help. You can absolutely feel the love and pride she has for this space. You will not regret staying here!!"
4280376,35399831,2015-06-18,15980778,Kathryn,"Loved our stay in Denise's tiny home! She was really welcoming and left us everything we could possibly need during our stay. The location was great too - we loved the little coffee shop right around the corner! Parking was convenient and all the communications with Denise were really easy. It rained both nights we were there so we didn't get to spend any time in her amazing back yard - hopefully we have better weather next time, we will be back!"
4280376,35532456,2015-06-19,18907638,Kelly,"We loved staying in this tiny home and would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Denise was very accommodating (even for our last minute booking), and the place was stocked with everything we needed/wanted, from shampoo and toothpaste to bagels and m&m's. She puts so much care and thought into the tiny (!) details that make this home so special. We had one issue with the dry toilet's flush function, but Denise came to the rescue immediately, and it was part of the tiny home adventure! This was such a beautiful and cozy experience...book it now and go!  "
4280376,35971317,2015-06-23,3675492,Danielle,"Our stay at Denise's Tiny House was great - just like we expected. It was super fun to experience tiny house living. It was super clean, the bed was perfectly comfy and her dogs are cute and friendly :) A favorite bonus was definitely having an epic lil coffee shop like two doors down! "
4280376,36074512,2015-06-24,4867515,Brian,"Great host, great place and a great intro to the tiny house experience."
4280376,36466732,2015-06-28,16426658,Juliet,"This is the cutest most amazing tiny home!!! I absolutely  loved it! An amazing experience! The bed was Sooo comfy! This truly is a tiny home! Two people could work but think its best for one....However, I can't say enough about Denise and how flexible she was with my schedule! I had two friends stop by to check out this amazing home and we all laid on the bed giggling like HS girls making the best memories!! :) Thank you Denise for being so gracious! definitely  would  stay again! Don't pass on this tiny home!  Sooo awesome!  :)"
4280376,36746911,2015-06-30,3290463,Samuel,"Denise's tiny house is a tiny slice of awesome. It's situated in a very culturally interesting part of Austin, in the thickets of gentrification. Some great hipstery restaurants, cafes, and bars, but also some authentic older offerings from what used to be an all african-american neighborhood. Denise is a gracious host, embodying the good parts of airbnb. Just wish I had more time to hang out with her, enjoy the tiny house, and explore the neighborhood!"
4280376,36825930,2015-07-01,35039654,Jennifer,Had a wonderful time at this charming tiny home! We look forward to our next stay.
4280376,37075439,2015-07-04,26244386,Stephen,"We had a wonderful time at the tiny pad. It was quite the experience, one we will not forget. Denise was an amazing host and very very accommodating. Highly recommend. "
4280376,37193454,2015-07-05,26244386,Stephen,Wonderful weekend in the tiny pad. Was an unique experience we will not forget. The pad was lovely and had everything we could have needed. Rose is an amazing host and went above and beyond to be there to help if needed. 
4280376,37772342,2015-07-10,12653843,Shanker,Our stay at the Tiny House with Denise was lovely!  Every detail was covered and well thought out.  She is very thoughtful and even provided a special game for our kid to play while there.  Our dog loved her dogs and the yard.  Communication was excellent- fast and thorough.  We highly recommend staying at the Tiny House with Denise.
4280376,37924938,2015-07-11,37734890,Zoe,"Denise was an outstanding host! She made us feel very welcomed and had us laughing right from the start. She gave us a thorough tour of the tiny house and showed us how everything worked. Although we didn't get to spend too much time with her, she was very helpful and made us feel at home! "
4280376,38083303,2015-07-12,38036637,Darby,"First I want to say that the tiny house is awesome. If you have ever wanted to experience what it is like to live in a tiny home this is the place to do it. It was a very comfortable place to stay with my wife. The place is VERY unique and the decor adds to the experience. Even though it is tiny, Denise has included everything you could possibly need. It's in a good location to experience Austin and the Figure 8 coffee shop around the corner was really good.

Second, Denise is a great host. She went out of her way to make sure we are comfortable and had a good time while we were there. She helped us figure out where we should go eat and hang out. She also was excited to share the origins of the tiny house and her experiences which we enjoyed. I definitely recommend!"
4280376,38327774,2015-07-14,35807667,Nathan,Denise's tiny pad was the coolest place to stay! We really enjoyed trying out the tiny house lifestyle while being within walking/biking distance to tons of downtown and east side attractions. Denise was super flexible with our arrival time even though we got stuck in traffic and showed up almost 3 hours late! We couldn't have asked for more it was literally perfect. 
4280376,38867556,2015-07-19,1803669,Brock,"Denise was a great host and her place is beautiful, eclectic, and quaint.  The Tiny Pad was a unique experience that we'd love to experience again.  Very cool furnishing and decor choices and a great backyard setting.  Denise was very flexible and helpful and is a highly recommended host.  Thanks Denise!"
4280376,39538754,2015-07-24,28639013,Ali,Denise is amazing and met me out front when I arrived. Everything that is written in the listing was correct and just blew me away. Denise walked me through how to work everything and made sure I had all the information I needed. She also was great at suggesting places to go and see. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and easy to get around. There is a great coffee shop a couple steps away that I went to every morning. I also took full use of the speaker she has inside to blast music while getting ready. Overall it was one of the most exciting experiences I have had and I was very sad to leave. I will be back again!
4280376,40587485,2015-08-01,2564147,Sarah,"Tiny pad is super cool, I would highly recommend staying here if you have the chance. Denise has thought of everything you would ever need and somehow managed to fit it all comfortably into the Tiny pad. Denise is a superstar host who made us feel very welcome and at home while we checked out Austin's east side."
4280376,40803144,2015-08-02,30834517,Ashley,"My sister and I had a lovely stay in Denise's tiny pad. She was so welcoming and helpful. The house is so fun, decorated so well, and perfect for a weekend away. Also, it super close to all that Austin has to offer. "
4280376,41807513,2015-08-09,37885826,Jenna,"My boyfriend and I loved this tiny pad and its gracious host. When we got to the house, Denise informed us that the AC was taking a while to cool down completely; however, she assured us she'd do everything she could to get it cooled down ASAP (and it was when we got back later!). The bed is incredibly comfortable, and the seating areas tucked away throughout the yard are perfect for early-morning coffee with a little privacy. Thanks for making our one-night getaway special, Denise!"
4280376,42493974,2015-08-13,4016097,Natalie,"Me and my boyfriend had a fantastic time at the tiny house, it's such an amazing house, so unique. Denise was also a fantastic host, warm and welcoming and even had us some local beers for our arrival. We made the booking at short notice and Denise was totally accommodating with this. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and if I come back to Austin I would definitely stay again. Perfect. Thanks Denise for a wonderful stay."
4280376,44272732,2015-08-24,1555309,Mathilde,"I loved my stay at Denise's tiny house. It made the whole weekend in Austin very special. This place is perfect for one or 2 people, there are a lot of cute retro details, its also nice to nice outside at night. A really great place!"
4280376,45102419,2015-08-31,37512769,Erin,"We arrived a bit laye, but Denise and I were in contact the entire time so there was no fuss. She showed us the Tiny House which was quite cute, and her marvelous backyard. Denise was quite friendly and welcoming and dispite having to cut our trip short due to my husband's work we had a nice time. Our dogs and hers got along quite well, and we set boundaries on yard play as the day went on. I would strongly recommend the talking with Denise about a stay she was very helpful with us as first time users of the app and patient when we asked so many questions. Thanks  again Denise!"
4280376,45645786,2015-09-04,4504657,Roze,"Denise is a wonderful host and the little ""tiny house on wheels"" ROCKS!!! Every detail is beautifully thought through. Rustic elegance, high funky coolness at every turn and a gorgeous backyard setting. The steps are a bit steep but that's b/c so much is put into so little a space. Amazing high efficiency. Snacks & coffee, cool vintage style appliances. Really really nice setting. THANK YOU DENISE! (oh her doggie ""Welcome committee"" members are adorable!) "
4280376,45959292,2015-09-07,22334548,Jenny,"The tiny house is an inspiring, amazing, eye opening experience. Probably not comfortable for more than 2 people, the house has everything you will need. It is in a great location - within walking distance of a ton of stuff, a 15 minutes or less driving distance from anything else you'd want to do in Austin, with plenty of street parking. The bed is super comfortable. We came during Labor Day weekend (hot and humid) and the AC cooled down the place but it's not an ice cold temperature during the day. I was fine and was even a little cold at night with the fan. The place is tiny (thus the name) but it is exactly as advertised. Denise is great and very welcoming. The 2 pups are very sweet as well. "
4280376,46459953,2015-09-10,3045710,Heather,"Denise was a fabulous host, who incorporated so many thoughtful details for her guest. This space is tiny pad perfect, and even the yard was a mini oasis. I highly recommend this tiny pad retreat, especially to tiny home enthusiast. This visit was truly a one of a kind, unforgettable delight and I can't wait to return. "
4280376,47392780,2015-09-18,7862593,Mary,"Denise was organized and very responsive. The Tiny Pad was beyond adorable. It is tiny (yep) but the yard is spacious and the tiny pad is all decked out. She thought of everything. The neighborhood was close to many ""hot spots"". I walked a half block in the morning to get a delicious cup of coffee around the corner (although there was coffee available in the pad, I just prefer a latte). Parking was easy. Getting on and off the highway was easy. This was perfect. I'll come back if ever I am in Austin."
4280376,47617179,2015-09-21,30173985,Carrie,"Amazing place! Just like the pictures, Denise's place is really fantastic, very inspiring design with such thoughtful little touches and it actually feels very spacious for the size!  The bed is also really comfortable.  Denise was a fabulous host. She is a really lovely, down-to-earth person who clearly cares for her guests and wants them to enjoy their time with her/visiting Austin. Would definitely recommend staying with her! "
4280376,47843481,2015-09-21,7498349,Erin,"My husband and I own a travel website so we did a lot of research on the best Airbnb spaces in Austin. We'd never stayed at a tinyhouse, saw how well this one was designed and  knew we had to come here. Fantastic host, super easy to communicate with and it was such a gem of a space. Neighborhood was awesome and close to everything we wanted to do. Thanks Denise!!"
4280376,48536996,2015-09-27,41107995,Brett,"The tiny house was great! Denise was an amazing host and made us feel right at home. The location is perfect, walking distance to East 6th Street and some great coffee shops. The space is cozy and beautifully decorated and has everything you would need for your stay. Without a doubt would come back to this tiny house the next time we are in Austin!"
4280376,48931212,2015-09-29,43956028,Heidi,"We had a great time staying at the Hip East Side Tiny Pad Retreat.  Denise was a great host.  She thought of everything that you could of possibly needed when you are there.  Denise also went out of her way with sharing her favorite places to have coffee, and dinner.  All of these great places were walking distance to her place.  We would definitely go back.  "
4280376,49332779,2015-10-03,37803271,Michele,"The tiny house is fun.   The location is great. Denise is super nice and attentive. The tiny house is clean and the bed is very comfortable. My favorite amenity is the record player. Denise has a wonderful assortment of records there to listen to. So awesome, thanks Denise!"
4280376,49763826,2015-10-06,35039004,Jamie,"My boyfriend and I absolutely loved staying at Denise's tiny pad for three nights!  She was very welcoming, friendly, and easy to work with.  We appreciated that she let us drop off our bags prior to check-in and allowed us to check out late as we had a 6pm flight home and no one else was arriving that day.  

The tiny pad itself looked just as pictured.  It was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and Denise thought of every detail while being impressively space-efficient and having a super fun design aesthetic.  She was truly thoughtful when putting this place together.  Not only did we have everything we needed (and more), but we got a one-of-a-kind Austin experience!  Much more private, cozy, memorable, and fun than a typical hotel...I really can't say enough about it.  It was kind of like a childhood dream come true!  The only minor thing I would warn larger people about is the shower.  We are average size, and it was slightly difficult to maneuver in there.  (But it's a tiny house, so it's not like that's completely unexpected.)  The yard was also cool, but I didn't get much of a chance to use it as we were on the go a lot!  Both the fenced-in yard and house had keypad-type locks, so we never felt like safety was an issue, and I liked that better than having to worry about keys.

The neighborhood is conveniently located - there was a great coffee shop down the street (Figure 8), a strip of adorable restaurants, stores, and BBQ places within a pretty easy walk (loved Hillside Farmacy and Quickie Pickie), and we even walked to downtown one day.  When we didn't feel like doing the legwork (and we were anxious about attempting to bike around an unfamiliar city as we're not experienced cyclists), Denise's kind taxi-driving neighbor was a good option.  We also Uber'ed around a bit, and most rides were only about $5-$6.

All in all, I would highly recommend the tiny pad!  I was sad to leave, and I'm definitely hoping to stay there again in the not-too-distant future.  Perfect first Airbnb experience."
4280376,50428772,2015-10-12,30781488,Lauren,Denise was a fabulous host! She really thought of everything to make our stay in the tiny pad extra special. Upon arriving she gave us the grand tour of the grounds and even gifted us some local brews! Denise was so easy going and attentive throughout our stay. She had great insight on getting around the city which was also much appreciated.  The tiny pad & Denise were the perfect cherry on our ice cream sundae. 
4280376,51033591,2015-10-17,29066464,William,Had a great time. Tiny Pad is super neat.  Denise is great.  Great location within walking distance to cool stuff. 10/10 would stay again.
4280376,51126847,2015-10-18,28250039,Erin,"We had a great time staying in Denise's tiny house. We had everything we needed and even a couple of beers in the fridge. 
The neighborhood is cute, artsy, quiet, and felt very safe. Location was perfect for what we were doing. 
Even had a nice leisurely morning including breakfast at Joe's down the street (amazing really).
Thanks for everything! Especially sending my boots back! I've had them since high school!"
4280376,51571580,2015-10-21,6519735,Jim,"Denise and her East Side Tiny Pad are amazing! The pad has everything you could want and then some. The bed is super comfortable, the neighborhood is funky and chill, and the decor is as functional as it is eye pleasing. Denise is a joy to speak with and an overall fantastic host! "
4280376,52557129,2015-10-30,1727562,Cynthia,Denise was so helpful.  We appreciated the personal tour of how the tiny house works and her getting us directions of where to go eat based on our mood for a particular cuisine.  She actually Googled it and printed out the phone numbers for us.  
5620241,27910915,2015-03-14,29185615,Andrew,"Ashley and her boyfriend, Mark, were unbelievably welcoming and accommodating. It was my first time in Austin, so they made sure to offer plenty of advice on where to go what to do, etc. The actual apartment is cozy, clean, spacious, warm, and quiet. The community is gated so it's a very safe area, and is easily accessible to anywhere in Austin.

For the price, this is an absolute no-brainer. You will not find nicer hosts! Thank you Ashley and Mark for help making my first time to Austin a great experience!!!"
5620241,27983749,2015-03-15,29065164,Mohammad,"So this was my first Airbnb experience and I'm glad it turned out well. Both Ashley and her boyfriend played perfect host. They were warm enough to make me feel comfortable and mature enough to give me my own privacy. They even helped me out with direction, especially since it was SXSW, and offered me a ride in order to avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot downtown.

The place is clean and as displayed. For the price listed, it was a very good deal. 

"
5620241,29030302,2015-04-02,26701943,Abhishek,"Ashely is a great host and I would be happy to stay again. She was really helpful, responsive and proactive with information. The apartment was clean and neighborhood is close to downtown. Thought parking can be a bit tricky and you may have to walk for few mins to get a open spot. "
5620241,29087318,2015-04-03,10955307,Kenny,I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with Mark and Ashley. It was just the perfect experience i was looking for hanging out with the locals and seeing their way of life. They made me breakfast and drove me around. DO NOT doubt the air mattress because it is surprising extremely comfortable. Makes me wonder why i don't use one permanently. Great people to meet and stay with for a awesome ATX experience.
5620241,30743170,2015-04-26,3181577,Chianti,"Marc & Ashley were gracious & kind to me.  They made me feel welcomed.  True southern hospitality!  Highly recommend 
"
5620241,34505958,2015-06-08,33460258,Waseem,It was an absolute joy staying with Ashley and Mark. They were very kind and curtious. If I had the choice to stay with them the next time I visit Austin there's no question that I'd pick them.
5620241,35443737,2015-06-18,8519535,Jess,"Ashley! You are superb! Your hospitality and down to earth personality made my stay that much easier! It was a late reservation and you responded right away! I didn't have a coffee mug for the morning, and you just said, ""just take this one."" You are too kind. Its the little things that will keep me coming back! Thank you"
5620241,35759006,2015-06-21,17258949,Thomas,"Ashley and Mark are the best hosts I've had so far on airbnb. Very knowledgeable about various happenings; whether it's going to 6th street or the nature around Austin to experience. They're extremely accommodating and the couch and air mattress were the perfect combination for my friend and I. The apartment is extremely close to downtown and anything else that you'd want to do in Austin. Also, they stay in a gated area with a pool. If I plan another trip to Austin again I will definitely be staying with them again!"
5620241,36494103,2015-06-28,35204218,Michael,"Our stay was more than we could have hoped for! Ashley and Mark were perfect hosts, had our bed ready and waiting for us, gave us great advice for fun things to do and go eat, and even brought us delicious local ice cream on our last night. They made our first airbnb experience a perfect one! I highly recommend staying with them. You won't regret it!"
5620241,37933701,2015-07-11,6244990,Amanda,"Ashley and Mark were amazing hosts! Their easy going fun personalities made me feel right at home and taken care of completely! HUGE thanks to these two for putting me up in the awesome city that is Austin! I had a great time. Y'all are awesome to live with! Take care!

Even though it was shared space, it was super comfortable! "
5620241,38088365,2015-07-12,38144003,Arturo,Host were very helpful in finding the apartment. It was more than we expected. 
5620241,39893283,2015-07-26,27153514,Raquel,"We felt like at home with Ashley and Mark. They picked us up from the airport, which we are really thankful for and they took us out for a couple of drinks with their friends. Unfortunately, Ashley had to work the next day, but Mark took us to Barton Creek Greenbelt. On the way back, we picked Ashley up and we went to have dinner all together. We ended up chatting away at home, while drinking an awesome cocktail Ashley had prepared for us.

Austin is our road trip final destination and we're definitely going to text them again to meet up. 

Thank you guys for your hospitality and the good fun! See you in a few days!

Raquel and Patricia"
5620241,43721730,2015-08-21,41696261,Maximilian,"What wonderful hosts these were. Mark and Ashley took me around places in Austin which was more than I could have asked for. The air mattress is big and comfortable and so was the couch and the especially the rug. Their nest is also easy accessible by public transport. This was my first Airbnb and I really loved my stay here!
Best of luck!"
5620241,46841096,2015-09-13,18464752,Charlie,"Couldn't recommend Ashley and Mark any higher, they're both really friendly and welcoming and ended up going out with them a few times which was fun! The neighbourhood was pleasant and quiet and pretty easy to get downtown via bus. This was my first air bnb and I will definitely be using it again!"
5620241,47938138,2015-09-21,16251814,Elisabeth,"Thanks again to Ashley and Mark for having me stay, couldn't have felt any more welcome!  The airbed is really comfortable, too. Thanks to the instructions it was really easy to find their place. Their neighbourhood is quiet and sufficient parking is available. Wouldn't have to think twice about staying with them again. "
5620241,49519328,2015-10-04,44674465,Ann-Marie,Ashley was so welcoming and friendly and had everything that we needed! She was a gracious host and we felt like right at home.
5620241,51967614,2015-10-25,21433351,Maggie,"Ashley and Mark were wonderful hosts! Their apartment is lovely and clean, with a great bathroom and shower (my hair has never felt softer!). The air mattress is huge! A queen size I believe, and was honestly more comfortable than my own bed. They were great at giving us tips and suggestions of things to do in Austin, and they even took us to a great place for brunch on Saturday. I couldn't recommend them more. They are great hosts for young adults like us who come in late and leave early, but they are very polite and accommodating for anyone. I hope we can stay with them again in the future. They really helped make our Austin experience something great."
7075066,40058639,2015-07-27,22232536,Lindsey,Jinny was a wonderful host! Very accommodating and we even visited her at her job down the road. She has a very sweet boxer and her home is absolutely beautiful. We were her first Airbnb guests and she couldn't have been a better host.
7075066,42039039,2015-08-10,18423916,Mark,"Jinny was an excellent host,  her place was very clean and the neighborhood was quiet and safe.

The location was excellent for me since I had a class nearby. Although we did not see a lot of each other,  we did spend some time talking a few times.

The room was just as presented online,  so there were no surprises there. When I return to Austin I know where I'll be staying. "
7075066,42642871,2015-08-14,2845732,Becki,"The neighborhood was nice. Very close to 183, easy on/off and a straight shot to the property; but far enough away to avoid the noise. The house backs onto a busy street, so the yard is loud, but the bedroom faces the front of the house, and counter-intuitively, is very quiet. Off-street parking in the driveway. Jinny has a large dog, very friendly, but relatively uninterested in guests after she meets you. 

Jinny made me welcome, and made sure I knew where everything was. The room was spacious, and right next to the bath. The bedding was clean and crisp, and the bed was comfortable. There was also a very nice window seat.
"
7075066,43005304,2015-08-16,38021880,Rosendo,"Jinny was a great host. Her house is in a quiet neighborhood not far from the city. 

The house is beautiful and clean. "
7075066,43202351,2015-08-17,41494491,Lindsey,We enjoyed our short stay with Jinny. We needed a stopover spot to crash on our way to a wedding. She was gracious enough to let us borrow her iron and ironing board. Daisy is so sweet!
7075066,45223132,2015-08-31,42083772,Kokayi,This is my 2nd stay w/ the team of Jinny & Daisy.  They were both just as genuinely welcoming as the 1st time & I highly recommend them for return guest services.
7075066,46226271,2015-09-08,33534755,Will,"Jinny and Daisy were very welcoming.  I really felt at home staying with Jinny.  I would definitely stay with her again, and I will most likely stay with her again in a month or two when I come back to Austin for a weekend.  

I was a little unsure about staying in a room out of a private residence, but I would definitely do it again, and if you are thinking about it and are unsure, just make the jump and go ahead and do it."
7075066,46766190,2015-09-13,41965692,Lisa,"I had a conference in Austin and really enjoyed my stay at Jinny's lovely home.  Although I only saw Jinny briefly, she was friendly and helpful.  The room and bathroom are clean and the bed is super comfy.  I also loved being greeted by Daisy the dog upon my return every day.  Would definitely recommend and return!"
7075066,47602185,2015-09-20,11651317,Margie,"I had a great stay at Jinny's. I loved the decor in the bedroom and bathroom (the whole house, really) and all the nice touches, like the local magazines and the Texas-shaped notepad and pen. The bed was very comfortable and there was a lovely ceiling fan, TV, and alarm clock. 

The house was easy to find and it was easy to park and get in the house. 

I didn't actually meet Jinny, but she was very helpful and friendly when we were in touch before and during my stay. 

And, Daisy was delightful! I am glad I got to spend a little time with her in the evening when I arrived. She was super well-behaved and friendly. "
7075066,48463083,2015-09-26,14673434,Melanie,"Everything was easy! Jonny communicated great, and my welcome from Daisy was incredibly sweet! Fell in love with Daisy (dog)! I will stay again for sure!"
7075066,48824347,2015-09-28,2576816,Sarah,"We weren't able to meet Jinny due to her very busy schedule on the day that we stayed at her house, but she communicated with us and was very responsive via text. Her house was exactly as shown in her photos - very nice. We highly recommended her as a host."
7075066,51876542,2015-10-24,5057772,Vânia & Marcelo,"Jinny offered me an excellent experience in Austin. The space is just like in the pictures, clean, cozy and comfortable. Jinny is very friendly and helpful. I felt welcome and when we return to Austin'll definitely want to be your guest again."
7075066,52034301,2015-10-25,47292270,Justin,"This was my first time using airbnb, and I am excited to use it again as I had a great first experience!  Jinny was very nice and sweet, and has a very nice home. My room was perfect for what I was looking for-- a comfy bed, a TV, wifi, and my own bathroom. Jinny made me feel like I was at home, and gave me some tips about Austin, as I am new to the area. The only downside is that it is about 20 minutes away from the city, but it was well worth it for me!"
7075066,52173837,2015-10-26,32420304,Milton,Very nice clean room.  Thanks Jinny!
7075066,52564147,2015-10-30,47668615,Jeremy,Jinny was my first air bnb hostess and she was amazing. She has taken every step to make her home as accommodating and convenient as possible. Daisy (the dog) was such a sweet girl. The neighborhood and the house were great. 
7075066,52801052,2015-11-01,13136361,Jake,Absolutely great stay at Jinny's! Room is comfy and more than I expected! She even left a cookie for me to take back to my son for Halloween!
5288586,26658621,2015-02-16,3696658,Zachary,"This was an absolutely amazing house, full of fabulous antiques and carefully chosen decor. The rooms were really comfortable, with amazing beds, and there is also an incredible backyard. Chris and Georgia are the coolest, and the best part of staying here."
5288586,26967873,2015-02-22,21624098,Kenji,"Chris was such a great host. The place I stayed was clean, well lit, and all the small details prepared for me. After the warm greetings, Chris filled us in on all the right places to go for a last-minute trip to Austin bar-hopping. He was very attentive to the guests and my friend that was staying with me was quite impressed also. If given another opportunity, I would love to stay at this place again."
5288586,27021746,2015-02-23,15834313,Christopher,"The host made me feel welcome and the listing was as described.  It was more than I expected, and my son and I had a great time!  The neighborhood is quite and cozy.  It was a country feel.  I also liked the artistic vibe and décor.  "
5288586,27357304,2015-03-02,21375831,Davis,"Had such an awesome experience staying with Chris and Georgia! Both were so welcoming and had great advice on where to eat and drink in Austin! The house beautiful and in a perfect location in relation to downtown. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, fun game room, beautiful backyard, what more could you ask for! Cool people and would love to stay there again.  "
5288586,27678945,2015-03-09,28120207,Andrew,"Me and two friends came in from out of town for a wedding and wanted a nice, convenient, affordable place to stay. Chris's residence provided that and more. Chris and Georgia's hospitality is unrivaled by any of the corporate monster hotels that any of you might stay. Chris always makes sure that your stay exceeds expectations and from the beginning makes you feel welcome in his home. Comfortable beds, clean bathroom, laid back hosts, big hot tub, fire pit, spacious house, etc. What more could you want for a place to stay. Only regret is we did not get to hang out with our hosts more. Do yourself a favor to stay here if it is available. This was our first Air B n B experience and it could not of been better. Hope to stay here again. I am now a born again Air B n B-er."
5288586,27768721,2015-03-11,24479215,Robert,"Chris was the perfect host and the two upstairs bedrooms in his home were comfortable and roomy. The bathroom was well- appointed with hotel style amenities.
Chris was amenable to our early drop off of luggage so we didn't have to lug it around in the car.  He also accommodated leaving luggage at the house on checkout day so our daughter could explore Austin before her late afternoon flight.
        And did I say he made organic coffee in the morning and had real cream?
          He also provided excellent advise on nearby restaurants for breakfast. When we returned after a long day of touring Austin, he. Had the hot tub ready and even put together a cool Texas-themed music play list for the patio speakers.
        We'll return on our next Austin visit."
5288586,27907600,2015-03-14,15747340,Simon,"Possibly my best Airbnb experience ever. After a day of travel delays, Chris couldn't have made me feel more welcome and relaxed, and he was a terrific tour guide. 

I can't recommend Chris and his place highly enough. I only wish I could have stayed longer. "
5288586,28323595,2015-03-22,10553336,Stephanie,"Chris and Georgia could not have been MORE accommodating and helpful! I really appreciate everything they did to make our stay in Austin go smoothly and wonderfully fun! The communication was on point - easy to get in contact with them, very responsive, and eager to make our stay perfect.

The house is awesome, and if you are looking for a host with tons of great local suggestions for places to go and things to do, look no further than here! 

We will definitely be staying again in the future, and are looking forward to it!"
5288586,28509354,2015-03-24,18756667,Tomas,"We needed a place to stay at the last minute after another accommodation fell through on our last night in Austin.  Chris responded right away to our request and worked with us on a great rate and a speedy check in.  Once we arrived, we found the house to be way beyond our expectations.  The rooms were well appointed and very comfortable.  On top of that, we found his hot tub to be the perfect cure for a week of long days at SXSW.  We swapped music together and had a wonderful time getting to know Chris and his wife.  In the morning, Chris had made a fresh pot of coffee and offered to drive us to Torchy's for their delicious breakfast tacos.  Would definitely stay again!"
5288586,28812164,2015-03-30,28741387,Judy,"Chris & Georgia made me feel most welcome straight away. They are delightful and conversation is easy. The house is clean and well kept, the bedroom private, the bed comfortable. The pool table is a bonus! I will certainly return when next in austin. Thank you!"
5288586,29061089,2015-04-03,29298228,Yazminh,"This was a wonderful 1st trip experience using Airbnb. The house is lovely, and the rooms were very clean and comfy, and the neighborhood feels nice and quiet.

And Chris & Georgia are awesome! They made us feel very comfortable and right at home. They're so sweet, friendly, and helpful - they provided many great recs for us to check out during our short stay, which we loved to have gotten from actual locals. By the time we left, they had made us feel like they were our good friends.

RECOMMENDED, with no hesitations! (Well, unless severe cat allergies, maybe. ;) )"
5288586,29572679,2015-04-09,23833161,Josh,"The house was as described but I wasn't expecting such awesome hosts! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed Chris and Georgia's company along with a never-ending list of local things to do. The house was awesome; pinball, pool, along with a hot tub were some of my favorite parts about my time spent at the house. Overall we had a very positive experience and will hopefully be able to stay there again!"
5288586,29914291,2015-04-14,6674199,Jenifer,"We had the best time at Chris and Georgia's. Great hosts. Made us feel like old friends from the moment we arrived.  Great property that's like a cabin in the woods only steps away from some of Austin's top spots.  Centrally located for any COTA event plus a hot tub, fire pit and cold beers after a long day at the track. Perfect. We look forward to returning. "
5288586,30384181,2015-04-21,10338011,Ryan,"Chris and Georgia were incredibly gracious hosts.  They were there to greet us when we first arrived and immediately made us feel at home.  They both gave us lots of suggestions on places to eat and where to hang out around town. Their home was very nice,  creatively decorated and comfortable.  The beds were soft. The bathroom was perfect. The house was very clean. There was fresh hot coffee  every morning. We even got to spend sometime playing the pinball machines,  playing pool and soaking in the hot tub.  We did run out of time to enjoy the firepit on this trip. Perhaps we can make that a priority on our next trip because we definitely would stay here again."
5288586,30677579,2015-04-26,28545412,Seraphina,"Chris and Georgia welcomed us like old friends. We were made to feel at home right away, and our hosts were ever so helpful when it came to prioritising things to do in Austin, a city with so many options. Plus, they were just great to talk to in general. The rooms we stayed in were beautifully presented and really comfortable, and we were impressed by the amount of space we had. Chris was even kind enough to drive us downtown a couple of times and told us about all the best bars and cafes to visit. We'll definitely be coming back, and would love to stay with these folks again. AUSTIN ROCKS!"
5288586,30952856,2015-04-29,31235660,Rahul,"We had an absolutely fabulous time at the house.  The rooms were very comfortable and the house is in perfect location for tourists.The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for a good nights sleep .  Chris and georgia are perfect hosts and just very awesome people. We felt much at home for the three days we were there. Chris would give us directions and ideas and basically planned our days for us. I would totally reccomend this place more so the hosts,. Cant wait to make another austin trip and meet up again. !  "
5288586,31339070,2015-05-04,20617932,Kelsey,Chris and Georgia were awesome! We had so much fun! Chris had a bunch of recommendations for things to do to make our stay more enjoyable. The pictures do not do the house justice. It's beautiful. Rooms were spacious and the beds were so comfy. I'm already ready to go back! 
5288586,31465611,2015-05-05,13725773,Jay,"Chris and Georgia were excellent hosts! They were extremely accommodating and even gave VERY useful sightseeing advice. Their cafe recommendations were impeccable. Most importantly, their home was clean and a real haven of rest for the wondering traveler! My family and I had a real blast and if we ever pass by Austin again we will definitely want to drop by again!"
5288586,31947846,2015-05-12,17218594,Samantha,"Staying at Chris and Georgia's was such a lovely experience- from the home-brewed Austin coffee waiting for us in the mornings to the Texas-shaped fire pit in the amazing backyard at night. They are extremely seasoned Austinites and can give you recommendations you won't find on a travel blog. They know where to get real Texas BBQ, the best joints for country music and good beers, and most importantly- the shortest routes to avoid traffic :)

It is obvious that Chris and Georgia have had a lot of amazing experiences and made a lot of meaningful connections with people in their lives as music creators and afficianados. So, have some coffee, play some pinball, and head to wherever they tell ya!"
5288586,33229395,2015-05-26,20614685,Erin,"This is a great place to stay if you're in Austin. The rooms are large and have everything you'd need for your stay, including fresh towels, coffee, tea, and house coats. Georgia and Chris put together a great binder full of recommendations while you're in town, and we totally reaped the benefits of their expertise. Every place we went was just wonderful. Plus, the hot tub was a great place to relax in the evenings. This has been my all-time favorite AirBNB experience."
5288586,34587245,2015-06-09,30295461,Sindhu,"The photos in the listing does not make justice to the place. Its beyond awesome. 
If anyone is planning to visit Austin, this is the place to be. 
It was great meeting Georgia. Could not see Chris, but he was available anytime we had any query. 
Me and my friends personally loved the house atmosphere
Highly recommended!!! "
5288586,35891293,2015-06-22,23431329,Selena,We had a wonderful time at Chris and Georgia's place! There was just as much entertainment there as going out without the crowd. Both were very helpful and gave some great recommendations for food for a couple of foodies! Everything was clean and comfy. Would definitely recommend staying there and would stay there again.
5288586,36976136,2015-07-03,34797885,Amanda,"I made reservations with Chris and Georgia for my family to stay with them when they were coming down to Austin for a visit!! My family assured me multiple times that this was the best stay that they have ever had. From Georgia ' s  afternoon happy hours to the game room to the houses furnishings and warm hospitality. They felt extremely comfortable, and also can't wait to come visit again! Chris and Georgia treated my family wonderfully and I highly recommend the stay."
5288586,37118965,2015-07-04,3114116,Alex,"Chris is the absolute BEST! I recently booked the two rooms at his place for my husband and his friends to have a cool place to crash for their low key night out! And Chris and his wife delivered!! They were incredibly friendly, chill, understanding, and (above all) accommodating! We really couldn't have asked for a better experience or COOLer HOSTS! "
5288586,39325363,2015-07-22,33658586,Teruaki,"Chris and Georgia are very welcoming people and made us feel right at home from the first day. The house is fully of funky, awesome decorations, and the rooms upstairs are very comfortable -- spacious with comfortable beds and ample space for unpacking clothes and whatnot. We stayed 12 days or so, so we really settled in. We had our two kids with us when we stayed here, and Chris and Georgia made them feel welcome, too -- the kids were sad to leave. 

The neighborhood is quiet but convenient to a lot of cool places in south Austin, and Chris and Georgia have a lot of information about local events and places to hang out. All in all, great place to stay and great people. "
5288586,50618085,2015-10-13,4348117,Joey,"55000 thumbs up for Chris and Georgia! I had the best time with Georgia living at this house. She is the absolute combo of best friend / mom / comedian! The house is in the best location, very close to downtown by car, but out just far enough to not be a part of the crazy. Would and will stay here many times more ❤️"
5288586,52126066,2015-10-26,45947761,Tom,"We were made to feel very welcome. The house was great, very clean and close to downtown. Our host Georgia was fantastic, she really looked after us and I'd recommend to my friends."
5440764,27560951,2015-03-07,4106140,Cheryl,"Oh, my -- The White House -- a little piece of minimalist heaven.  Step inside.  It will take you two seconds to transition from frazzled to life-is-good, really good.  You’ll find bottles of Topo Chico and Corona carefully aligned in the frig for your pleasure; and you’ll feel the spirit of Donald Judd (via Marfa & Chinati) whispering to you from a shelf in the reading room (aka downstairs bedroom) ... hey, traveler, keep it simple, stay steady.

The house is immaculate and brilliantly designed – one bedroom, bath and deck upstairs; a kitchen/gathering room, bedroom and bath downstairs.  It is minimally appointed (just enough) -- washer/dryer, utilitarian kitchen, comfy beds, bath towels, free-standing table and stools.  Built-ins complete the furnishings.  There is no television – no need.  Enjoy the quiet.

Most likely, Miss Nora, will greet you on arrival, hand over the keys and point out a couple of essentials.  Simple stuff – Wi-Fi password; keep the gate closed; window shades -- top down/bottom up; thermostat controls.  Nora is wonderful and responsive.  Can’t imagine a more perfect host.

One regret – my stay was too short.  Plan to return once the weather gets a tad warmer and after I’ve perfected the art of making white sangria.   Picturing myself sitting on the deck and watching the East Austin world go by.  Love it here.

So, here’s your litmus test.  If you like Hotel San Jose on South Congress, you’ll love The White House in East Austin.  Peas of the same Spartan pod – sort of.  

The White House – la casita mas fina.

As an aside 
For all you architect and urban planner wonks  – The White House was built under the City’s Austin S.M.A.R.T. Housing Policy Initiative.  Acronyms drive me crazy, but ... S.M.A.R.T. stands for Safe, Mixed-Income, Accessible, Reasonably-priced, Transit-Oriented, a mouthful. The initiative (and I am quoting now) is designed to stimulate the production of housing for low and moderate income residents of Austin.  The housing meets the City’s Green Building standards ...  See link to S.M.A.R.T. Housing Policy Resource Guide (website hidden)_-_Austin_housing.pdf  

Anyway, architects and urban planners, you’ll find The White House and environs interesting and informative.  Austin might be weird, but it’s smart weird. Just sayin.

For the record – I have no stake in the City of Austin; just happen to be an Urban and Land Use Planner, living and working in San Diego.  Early March 2015, I spent two nights at The White House with my brother and sister.  We were in town for a family function.  And, yes, we’ll be back.

5440764,27743332,2015-03-10,3214048,Deepak,Melissa was wonderful host. Very responsive in your needs. The house is very modern and newly remodeled. Pictures posted don't do justice to the house (it's way better in person). Will definitely live here again on my next visit to Austin. It is also very close to downtown and rainy street.
5440764,27819576,2015-03-12,8451345,Dustin,"The house is very cute and the listing was as described. This area was perfect for us due to proximity to friends, a large park, and a variety of fun food options. The host even provided a few toys for our 3.5 year-old son to play with. We would stay here again, and recommend to friends."
5440764,27905553,2015-03-14,29001464,Grey,"The White House is a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. Melissa and Nora were kind, responsive and accommodating hosts. The location is perfect: quiet street that's just a 10-15 minute walk to East 6th street and all the cool areas of east austin. Very helpful guestbook with great recommendations for local food and entertainment. Nice to be welcomed by a fridge full of Topo Chico and Corona. 

It's an incredible comfortable and restorative place to stay. The decor is very minimal. Sometimes minimalism can feel cold and lonely but at The White House the minimalism feels open and friendly. I love the little outdoor space. Great place to read  or having morning tea. "
5440764,28036436,2015-03-16,5577375,Lauren,"The White House was a perfect place to spend our trip to Austin! It exceeded our expectations, with comfy bedrooms and a very clean and vibrant decor. Also very well located for events like SXSW and ACL. Melissa and her daughter were awesome hosts and made us feel right at home with Corona and Topo Chico in the fridge "
5440764,28430574,2015-03-23,642867,Jennifer,"We had a wonderful stay at Melissa's White House!  The location is great - close to lots of great places to eat, and providing easy access to the 35 and downtown Austin.  The house is beautifully decorated, the bed is comfortable, and the kitchen was stocked with treats.  Five stars!!!"
5440764,29147854,2015-04-04,16006756,Chris,"I just spent two nights at The White House while in Austin for business. The home is beautiful, modern and spotless. The kitchen and dining area is very comfortable. The bedrooms are on separate floors, so there was plenty of privacy when staying with a colleague. The upstairs bedroom has a great deck. The wireless connection was great as were the restaurant recommendations. I'd whole heartedly recommend the home to family, friends and colleagues."
5440764,29431533,2015-04-07,384512,Barbara Sueko,"My friends and I felt like this was a perfect Airbnb house. We loved it. Melissa was great--super sweet and chill and provided useful tips and suggestions. Everything we needed was there and the Topo Loco (is that what it was called?) mineral water she left us was so appreciated because we fell in love with it! Best mineral water any of us have had. She was so accommodating and the beds and bathrooms were comfortable and clean and really, we couldn't have dreamed a better place to stay. Thank you for everything!"
5440764,29648188,2015-04-10,15031558,Jason,"The house was perfect, it was quiet and offered great privacy for two couples. The location was also great, a short drive or Uber into town."
5440764,29855636,2015-04-13,29596610,Sharon,"My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the White House! The house was immaculate and comfortable for our long weekend trip to Austin. The location was a close cab or bus ride to Rainey Street and downtown Austin.  The host left great recommendations for local food and drinks around town as well.  The fridge was even stocked with topo chico, beer, and other essentials. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. Would definitely stay here again. "
5440764,30876510,2015-04-28,29099450,Melissa,The house was great for a weekend getaway! We really liked the location. Melissa's daughter made a great recommendation of going to Haymaker for our first night for great beer and food. My sister's flight didn't leave until late the day we were checking out and we were graciously allowed to stay past the check out time as no one was checking in that day. We did end up bringing our own iron as none was provided. I will definitely recommend the White House to any friends or family traveling to Austin in the future. Thanks again for everything!
5440764,31327046,2015-05-04,6229196,Courtney,"Melissa and Nora were informative, helpful and kind.  The home is exactly as the images depict and as clean and bright as you can imagine.  They provided an info packet of local eats, drinks, and excursions which was a major gift.  We enjoyed walking to the local coffee shops, eating fantastic bbq, and exploring shops.  Thank you for a lovely stay.  We look forward to visiting Austin again!"

5440764,46142684,2015-09-08,17208627,Daniel,"The White House was a wonderful experience! It was the [perfect setup for a long weekend with two couples.

5440764,48767447,2015-09-28,43499052,Cori,"Melissa's house was perfect for a weekend trip to Austin with 2 couples.  The house was perfectly laid out, was impeccably clean and was in a great location close to downtown Austin.  Nora was extremely kind and helpful in coordinating beforehand, and the house worked out very well for us."
5440764,50614322,2015-10-13,33229783,Tatiana,"My friends and I LOVED this house! It was the perfect stay for our ACL weekend experience and we felt more than comfortable and safe. There's so much radiant energy that fills the house and it's really close by so many cool food places, downtown, and main streets. It made me want to move and live in Austin already!! Thank you so much for letting us stay at this beautiful home and have the best time of our lives."
5440764,51274198,2015-10-19,39456037,Amy Ann,"Our stay at The White House was exceptional. It was very clean upon arrival and all ready for us, complete with recommendations for places to eat in the area. The house was a perfect set up for us, two couples, with two separate sleeping areas and two bathrooms.  Melissa was easy to work with and quick to respond to any messages I sent her.  In the end, I can't say enough good things about our stay at The White House. "
5440764,52308823,2015-10-28,3215051,Joanne,We were really happy with it. Convenient location to the Circuit of the Americas. Spacious and comfortable.
5440764,52846066,2015-11-02,13344084,Carlin,"The White House in Austin is a great Airbnb. Don’t be concerned that it is green! First, we enjoyed a Topo Chico and beer upon arrival. Melissa is a caring and flexible host. Our flight  was out was delayed and she made it easy to adjust the length of our stay. Its location puts you in easy access to 6th street, downtown, the airport or the light rail at MLK station. Its airy, bright feel (white inside) makes it a spacious 2 bedroom home. The 2nd floor master with balcony is large and roomy. The eat-in kitchen has plenty of space and all the tools you need. We had a great weekend in Austin, in part due to these fine accommodations.

White House rocks!!"
7744303,50649592,2015-10-13,22639169,Brantley,"Our stay with Ashton Lummus was exceptional. The description and pictures don't do this Cozy Condo justice. It's beautiful! My partner and I had a very spacious guest suite overlooking the condominium courtyard which had a pool, bbq, and chairs for lounging. There was plenty of space to not feel cramped in the room since we did bring a lot of luggage for the Austin City Limits Music Festival. The bed and linens provided were all very comfortable and seemed almost new. My two friends, who were also staying at Ashton Lummus's, were provided with an extremely comfortable couch and blow up mattress that were made and resituated by the time we got back from the festival every night.
Everything that was described in the posting was provided, and more. Upon arrival, neither Ashton or his partner were there but, everything was clearly labeled and displayed. Towels were gathered and cleaned every morning as well as pots, dishes, silver etc. The refrigerator, an appliance close to my heart, was provided with a label stating, ""help yourself."" Music to my ears. 
The hosts even went to the extent of printing (and laminating!!) a full schedule of the second weekend of the festival we were about to attend. Ashton shared his Texas Camal back with us, since we forgot ours, let us watch whatever we wanted on the TV when we were there, and even shared his insights and tips for the foreign city we were about to explore.
Our favorite part of the trip (besides the music of course) was having a warm and welcoming place to come back to. Ashton and Lana were amazing hosts and very generous to share their home with us. I would certainly recommend and stay there in the future if my travels take me to Austin again.

Tip of the hat to you sir! "

951537,18855018,2014-09-01,7707757,Jimmy,"Nikki was easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Checking in was easy too. The listing was located just off Lamar Blvd, not far from Koenig--gave pretty easy access to 183 and 35. The apartment itself was great, and she even left her dog crate for me since I was bringing my dog along! 

Overall nice apartment and location. Would love to stay here again for my next trip to Austin! "
951537,20868254,2014-10-06,1624433,Derek,"Nikki's apartment was perfect for our stay.  Clean, comfortable and she left us snacks!  We were there for the Austin City Limits music festival and couldn't have been more pleased with the location.  VERY convenient to downtown and in a nice neighborhood.  She was helpful with all of our questions and even went so far as to let us use her downtown parking pass so we could be within a short walk to the festival.  

Yet another perfect Airbnb experience.  I highly recommend staying here."

951537,22256242,2014-11-02,18166018,Sierra,"Nikki's Apartment was in the perfect location of not being stukc in the Downtown crazy, but close enough you only had to drive 10MIN to get there. Her place was cozy and home like... we felt very comfortable. It  smelled nice and was clean. Bonus: She left a nice bottle of prosecco ( Even though we are not big drinkers, it was a nice little touch).  She is around lots of restaurants that are 5-10MIN away or if your feeling the lat night munchies McDonalds is literally across the street. Wonderful place and Host! "
951537,28443444,2015-03-23,16998701,Dimitrios,"Nikki is very nice! Her place is clean, nicely decorated and felt like home. The internet went down for a couple days, but overall it was still a great experience. Would love to stay again next time I'm in Austin. "

5259718,28082766,2015-03-17,213506,Thorben,Solid place. Super close to all the South Congress action and Torchy's Tacos. The house is pretty sweet and had lots of room for our group of 5. The screened-in back porch is king for chill mornings and evenings. Dallas was nice and communication via SMS was prompt. I would definitely book this place again.
5259718,42205797,2015-08-11,29181937,Peter,Excellent stay!  The house was exactly as described and worked well for our family of five. The location is perfect for walking to SoCo's various restaurants and stores. I would recommend this house to other families who want to escape to Austin.  After exploring Austin for the day the house was perfect for grabbing dinner and relaxing in the enclosed patio.  The modern master bedroom and bath provide a nice sanctuary in this character house.   Dallas promptly followed up on the booking and checked in with us to ensure everything was good during our three night stay.  
5259718,43999902,2015-08-23,674867,Brittani,"Dallas made us feel extremely welcome-- he was great about being in touch. The place is gorgeous-- my mother and I kept exclaiming about the details of the house the entire time we were there. You feel like you're living in a house magazine, but it's as comforting as staying at a friend's place (that has an amazing talent for design).  "
5259718,44481934,2015-08-26,7863658,Jacob,"Dallas was great.  very easy and efficient.  was on top of responding to any questions immediately and made the whole process of checking in painless.

It was close to many restaurants and the bikes, which came in very handy. Dallas was beyond helpful to make sure our stay was perfect, and he really was very easy to work with. House is awesome, very spacious and would definitely stay here again! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! "

But most importantly the apartment had incredible views, it was clean, modern, and the building facilities and staff could not have been better.  I am def recommending this apartment to all my friends up in NY/CT."

Joa was really nice with us. I reccomand this place to anyone who would like to travel to Austin.

Sure that we'll rent it again at our next travel to Austin."
4622156,28430086,2015-03-23,29095694,Iris,We had a wonderful experience and will definitely rent here again when we are back in town. Susie made us feel like we were visiting an old friend when we arrived. She greeted us with flowers and snacks since she knew we had a very long trip. The condo is gorgeous and the views are amazing! We enjoyed looking out into the city every morning while we ate breakfast. The neighborhood is very safe and convenient to everything. We stayed for SXSW and never had to use our car. The building also has really nice and modern amenities like a pool and gym. Definitely recommend!
4622156,30758919,2015-04-27,26461998,Dj,"We rented and it was wonderful for our extended weekend in Austin. Neat, clean and the building in which it is located is perfectly set for exploring Austin. We were in town for an event right across the river within a 10-15 minute walk.  Susie was extremely nice and I would recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin with plans to explore the downtown area. 

I'm sure in the future we will stay at this location again for our next trip to Austin. "
4622156,33138946,2015-05-25,18992187,Patricia,"The apartment was very nice and had great views. Susie had flowers and a bottle of wine waiting when I arrived. Susie was a very good host and quickly responded to my questions. Location was great and in a very nice section of downtown Austin and away from the nosier bar areas - but easy walk to them and the many good restaurants in Austin. Although I didn't have a car, parking for those who have rental cars is a nice plus."
4622156,36451967,2015-06-28,31986774,Gino,I had a wonderful experience staying at this location and most of all Susie was an awesome host!

I highly recommend staying here and would definitely do it again. 
4622156,37422565,2015-07-06,473783,MeiLin,"Just finished up my Texas vacation and I miss Susie's place already. Her apartment was the BEST spot to watch the fireworks. Seriously, I have never had a better viewpoint, ever! It was amazing to be so close and to have the option to awe from either the balcony or from inside (with air conditioning!). The apartment was also super clean, the bed was so comfortable and the shower stayed nice and hot. Hopefully, we'll rent from Susie again the next time we're in town!"

The digital keypad has an alarm and I was a bit technically challenged.  She was helpful in letting me know how to use it. Susie will meet you on the day of your arrival with a legal document to sign that clearly states the rules. None are unreasonable expectations of a guest, but it is the first time I have had this experience on Airb&b. "
4622156,46959696,2015-09-14,2408617,Nathan,Susie is a welcoming and hospital host who responds quickly to any queries and ensures your stay is smooth and pleasant.

4622156,48079947,2015-09-23,2317391,Sean,Susie was great it was my birthday and she even got me a cake. Told us of plenty of places to see and the location for the place was great. Really enjoyed my stay. 
4622156,48891370,2015-09-29,23268008,Mike,"This was the first time we stayed in an air b&b and it was exactly what we hoped it would be. This apartment is in a fantastic location with an excellent view. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to go, including ACL, Barton Springs, Congress Street Bridge and downtown restaurants. The apartment was clean and spacious, had a nice little balcony off the bedroom and the pool was very relaxing! Susie was a wonderful hostess and provided great accommodations and recommendations for our visit to Austin. "

4622156,51473390,2015-10-20,1176834,David,"One of our best Airbnb experiences, and they've all been good.  As others have said, Susie met us, did a thorough check-in, was very helpful in every way.  Austin sites, local neighborhood, shops, restaurants and coffee!  The condo is exactly how it looks, and the location was outstanding.  Clean, easy to find whatever we needed. Great building, very secure.  Everything you need for a four-day stay.  Easy to get around -- Whole Foods, Starbucks, Trader Joe's.  Would rent this property again without hesitation.  Wouldn't even bother to look for others."
4622156,51864626,2015-10-24,47053006,Steve,Wonderful condo in great neighborhood with food and services within a one block walk.  Highly reommended!
4622156,52218673,2015-10-27,10058512,Shelly,"Susie arranged to to meet us when we arrived in town and was very kind and thorough in showing us the building and apartment and made recommendations for local restaurants. We had everything we needed and were very comfy. Very great location and nice, modern apartment."
4622156,52996597,2015-11-03,12934269,Dan,"A great condo with an amazing view. Location was also nice--easy walking distance to a lot of downtown spots. On top of this, Susie was an awesome host: gave a thorough walk-through of the place, provided local tips for food/entertainment, and was overall lovely to communicate with. Would definitely hope to stay here again. "

330710,1021982,2012-03-20,1926343,Sahar,I was a little thrown off at first when I realized the room was in a church building but our stay ended up being very pleasant. Andrea was very kind. Very clean room. Reasonable pricing. She stocks the room with amenities too. I would stay there again.
330710,1181509,2012-04-25,2140060,Karen,"Andrea was a gracious and welcoming host. Her breakfasts were delicious - organic eggs, fruit, coffee cake, and cereal. All fresh and beautifully served. The room was immaculate, the bed comfortable and  the private bath, very convenient. Andrea was always available for transportation and obviously enjoys pampering her guests!"
330710,1214025,2012-05-01,1356009,Lisa,"Andrea was super nice and the big breakfast she fed me kept me full for almost the entire day, seriously. Her place was immaculate the rest of the guests were super friendly too.. She loved to feed and take care of her guests' needs in every possible way. I cannot enough about the warm welcome and her pleasing personality. It truely feels like home even when you stay there was a couple of days."
330710,3544879,2013-02-15,4205096,Marcus,"I spent about five weeks in the longhorn room and was very happy.  The longhorn room is clean, comfortable, and private with its own shower and bathroom.  The location is quiet, safe and is close to all three major freeways; downtown is a short 10/15 min drive away.  

Andrea was a great host!  She goes out of her way to keep guests comfortable, happy, and satisfied.  I rented her spare car, and received other valuable services such as airport pickup, all of which led to a great experience.
"
330710,3662307,2013-03-01,4627895,Jeff,"Extraordinarily sweet, thoughtful, and generous hostess, who, every day I was there, would make me a nice breakfast, and, as per our arrangement, make a delicious, healthy brown bag lunch. The rooms are spotlessly clean and fine for those with simple tastes. Excellent value. Would stay there again."
330710,3791058,2013-03-15,5218668,Francesca,"Andrea & her husband George were fantastic hosts who couldn't have done more to make my stay any better. The room was clean and comfortable and the big breakfasts Andrea cooks every morning were tasty and filling. The location is about 15-20 mins drive from the convention centre and they operate a convenient 24hours ride service for $5 a pop.  For runners, there is a good nature trail 10-15 mins drive. I stayed during SXSW 2013, had a blast and made great friends with some of the other guests. "
330710,5518258,2013-07-03,7097793,Michael,Great Host!  Very welcoming and accommodating.  Super clean and comfortable space.  Highly recommended!     
330710,8345510,2013-10-27,7931165,Gwendolin," Welcome to the home of wisdom. 
 From here, one can walk to the bus stop, a 5 minute-walk. The bus 7 goes to UT, downtown, and further south, and north to other locations for shopping. 
Andrea and George are an awesome couple, attentive to their on board residents; they assure safety, comfort, cleanliness and social interaction for the residents if they wish. Privacy is important to them and for them. Andrea is a real chef. When time allows it, she will share her menu with the residents, and graciously make one feel happy. Not only is Andrea running around for us but she is driving to the Airport to pick up new customers, driving us to the grocery stores, or elsewhere, and to UT.
No one will board in a better home than this one; I highly recommend  it to anyone looking for a peaceful environment.
"
330710,12877410,2014-05-13,9389120,Kendra,"Andrea is a very sweet person who goes out of her way to help. I work nights and during the day/night the place was quiet. The room was nice, SUPER clean and stocked with the essentials, shampoo/conditioner, bodywash etc. I would (and have) recommend staying here. "
330710,35309577,2015-06-17,18197345,Anita,There is no greater host than Andrea.  The place was super clean!  Plenty of parking and did I mention the  hospitality is impeccable!!
330710,49065850,2015-09-30,31760441,John,Excellent accomodations. Andrea is very caring and thorough. would definitely come back
330710,49848870,2015-10-06,43451898,Gavin,"Andrea was a very welcoming host and took amazing care of her guests. She provided guests a fully stocked kitchen and a 24 hour ride service to downtown, the airport, and UT Austin."
330710,50717324,2015-10-13,42707447,Kaitlyn,"The original room that I was supposed to stay in (the Longhorn Room) wasn't available to me on arrival, since the previous person extended their stay. At first I was a little taken aback, but Andrea accommodated me in a newer room, the Blue Mountain room. She is very accommodating and cleaned up any last minute scraps and messes that were in the room and assured me that I was one of the first people to live in this room. There is a kitchen on site and Andrea does make you feel welcome with this upgrade, as she cooks meals for her short term and long term visitors. Her husband also helped me with my large bags into my room. It was very nice to stay in the Blue Mountain room as it was like a studio apartment (with kitchen and full bath inside), which is what I moved into after my stay here. The location itself is a bit out of reach from everywhere else, but 290 is right there and can take you to the Manor/Burnet area under 15 minutes and downtown within about 20 minutes on a weekday. Also good to know is that the rooms Andrea hosts are located in a building that is set up like a bed and breakfast (she also lives on site), so if you're looking for more of that type of style for your stay, this would be a good option. I know they're going through a lot of renovations right now, but I could see this easily becoming really successful for out of towners who need a more home style stay rather than a hotel, or for someone like me that was looking for a short term stay. "
8405225,52100048,2015-10-26,45159094,Matt,"This house is in an awesome location, and perfect for one or two couples.  Two comfortable bedrooms that are set away from the living area, and a great entertainment area upfront.  Leticia was a perfect host, and had everything ready for us including additional towels, coolers, and an umbrella (it was raining).  She even had music playing for us when we arrived.  I would highly recommend staying here if  you want a great house in a great location in Austin.  "
8405225,52752527,2015-11-01,37127860,Amanda,"The whole experience was exactly why Airbnb is a better bet than a hotel.  First, we were able to book the house very quickly, in less than a day.  Second, the house was in a quite but fun neighborhood (around the corner from Franklin's BBQ and next door to other young people, across from a clean park.  We went out on Rainey Street, and the Uber fair was not bad for such a peak night.  Third, Leti was an amazing communicator. She knew our arrival and departure time and was flexible with both.  She provided us WiFi access and some suggestions on great local cafes.  When a guest left something important behind, Leti got a hold of us right away.  The house was simplistic and modern.  It was easy to find dishes and serveware for when we cooked.  The back yard was perfect for beer pong.  Overall, if we were to return to Austin with a group of the same size, we would request to stay at Leti's again!"
6288252,33019018,2015-05-24,8743502,Julian,Great neighborhood. Nowell was very hospitable. He provided us with everything we needed to make out stay comfortable. 
6288252,46838168,2015-09-13,43791210,Kortney,If you're looking for a fun pad in a great location this is your place!
6288252,47829902,2015-09-21,25750024,Aynsley,"Nowell is a great guy, super friendly and was able to answer all of our questions. He even invited us to see his band play. The house is huge and has a ton of space! The pictures definitely don't do justice to how much space is available. The guys also really loved the basketball court in the backyard. We had some trouble trying to lock the doors from the outside so when we would leave we were unable to lock it but I think that was being repaired. I would recommend this place to anyone. It was also close enough to downtown that an Uber was only a few dollars."
6288252,48926313,2015-09-29,2902816,Nicholas,"Zilker park is a nice, super quiet place and Nowell is a genuinely great guy and very accommodating. The apartment had great air conditioning, a private half court and beers on arrival. The neighbourhood felt safe, but annoyingly the locks weren't working while we stayed, so that wasn't really cool. That said, it's perfect for a bunch of guys for ACL, but probs not 100% for a romantic getaway. 
Make sure you hire a bike, Austin is super bike friendly. "
6288252,51177370,2015-10-18,31229765,Nancy,The place is such a fun place to stay at. We had a lot of fun and felt comfortable the whole time. Very clean and roomy! Close to everything! 
6288252,51865531,2015-10-24,44600903,Connor,"Nowell's house was very pleasant and perfect for our needs, in a hilly area with a great view.
We didn't meet Nowell, but he was very kind and accomodating, quickly replying to our questions about the house."
6288252,52822470,2015-11-02,5741874,Neil,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

4613275,36505408,2015-06-29,27863127,Julie,"This lovely home is everything is appears from the pictures.  It is clean and well kept, inviting and comfortable.  The pool is superb and our group of 13 had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy!  My group came in town for a wedding and there are plenty of bathrooms to accommodate everyone getting ready for an event.  I would highly recommend this property.  "
4613275,48681794,2015-09-28,28117528,John,The house was great actually even better than i thought it would be. she was great very nice and accommodating. no complaints here at it was a great trip. 
383603,1015557,2012-03-18,398634,Jesse,"Leslie was great, I booked with late notice, and she was around for me to stop by and pick up the keys amid the SXSW craziness. The room was exactly as advertised, the dog was cute and friendly, and all amenities were provided. Leslie was warm and offered much more than would be required, I had a wonderful stay. Although it was a private room in a house, the private entrance made it much more like a whole place."
383603,1033454,2012-03-22,461070,Norbert,Leslie was a great host even though I only saw her very briefly. I'd gladly stay at her place again!
383603,1057151,2012-03-28,643086,Erica,"Leslie was easy, responded quickly, good communication. Bed was  comfortable, location was ideal. Friday the dog is awesome. Very good airbnb experience. Thanks Leslie!"
383603,1193582,2012-04-28,1834850,Arnaud,"Leslie quickly accepted my last minute booking (I was at the airport with no place to stay) and I am really glad she did so. The house is, a cute house in a quiet area from which you can easily walk to downtown. There is a bus that can take you to the conference center in 5 minutes in the morning.
Friday the dog is super cool and Leslie is a very nice person! I really appreciated talking with her, and as mentioned, she is a great cook. Loved the blue berry and banana muffins!
She would make sure everything was fine for me and even wrote me a list of the locally brewed beers to try:)
I should not recommend her because people are going to rush to her place and I will have less chances to get a last minute booking next time, but she really deserves it ;)"
383603,1860943,2012-08-01,2728324,Matthew,"Leslie is totally awesome. she made my transition to austin extremely smooth, and worked with me on all angles. the house is super cool and exactly where i wanted to be. you should absolutely stay here"
383603,1941742,2012-08-10,2728324,Matthew,"once again, leslie comes through! she's a champ, with an awesome place. stay here!"
383603,2035793,2012-08-19,3034700,Danny,"Leslie is a great host. She knows her way around Austin very well and is really helpful. Her house is clean, organised and well kept. I love the colors and decorations to her house. She is a great person and maintains a great place to live in. "
383603,2502295,2012-10-04,1034643,Mike,"Great place in a perfect location if you like tasty food, neighborhood feel and easy access to east side bars and downtown.  Las Cazuelas is right around the corner, and has fantastic breakfast tacos - $3 for 3 with killer salsa bar.

Leslie was a fantastic roommate for a month, and very accommodating and helpful with suggestions.  Friday the dog was a true protector and side kick in the home office.  Thanks again!"
383603,2552267,2012-10-08,3734566,Bj,"Stayed with Leslie just for a couple of days while I was visiting for work. The house was in a great area and just minutes to restaurants, parks, bars, etc. Her house was great and Friday (the pooch) was awesome as well. This was my first time using AIRBNB in the US and it was just as great here as overseas. 
My time there was great and I just wished I had a little more time there to explore the area. Thanks a bunch Leslie, see you next time..."
383603,2630444,2012-10-16,341292,Michael,"Simply one of the best Airbnb places I visited. Very comfy house, great location. Leslie is a perfect host who knows everything about the city and could always help. Also the best coffee shop in the city, Cenote, is located just few blocks away, give it a try. Totally recommended."
383603,2798591,2012-11-04,1999683,Brittany,"Leslie is an amazing host. I really appreciated getting tips on her favorite places in East Austin, from bars to restaurants to places with wifi, and she helped make my stay as nice as it could be, considering I was in town for work. :) Must love dogs and a lively neighborhood."
383603,2856521,2012-11-11,22983,Marty,"Leslie is rad. Her dog Friday is super friendly. Her house is great and the room was more than comfortable. The location is a short walk from some great spots in Austin, but is still in a quiet and relaxing neighbourhood. Leslie was so accommodating and I felt totally at home with her. If you're into records, she has a great collection that's perfect for those moments when you just want to chill. So, if you're keen to check out Austin and stay with a great person who knows the city, then contact Leslie. Can't say enough about my experience. Thanks so much and I'll be in touch when next in Austin!"
383603,2898472,2012-11-16,1575229,Seva,"Leslie was a terrific host: helpful, attentive and unintrusive.
I had a great stay. A+!"
383603,2912032,2012-11-19,2490222,Scott,"Leslie was an excellent host, very accommodating & helpful.

Her house is very close to downtown Austin & it very easy to get in & out of town.

The room in her house is very nice & her dog Friday, is friendly & sweet.

I had a great stay."
383603,3045967,2012-12-08,2079776,Eric,"Tanks Leslie, you live in a wonderful city and your spot is really well choice. I have to walk 10 minutes to the center and i enjoyed that. Appart pretty clean, lovely dog. We didn't have time to meet but is was a good welcoming!!!"
383603,3309848,2013-01-08,1034643,Mike,"Such a great place, I just can't leave.  Thanks for being a great roommate!"
383603,3427010,2013-01-28,1034643,Mike,Home away from home in Austin. Love it. 
383603,3546188,2013-02-15,1034643,Mike,"Spent a fantastic winter in Austin. Thanks Leslie, I'm sure ill be back again !
If you haven't seen my other reviews, best location, chill dog, and epic chickens. "
383603,3779179,2013-03-14,674936,Marie,"Very cool overall - pleasant hostess, fun style, and walkable to several great spots (downtown/IBIZ/excellent running trail).  "
383603,4135437,2013-04-13,926488,Emma,"I stayed with Leslie for a couple of weeks. Her house is welcoming and in a great location. A charming residential area within walking distance to the river, downtown Austin and to some nice local eateries and bars! Leslie was a great host, friendly and very accommodating! 
Thank you Leslie! I wish you the best of luck luck with all your upcoming projects! xx Emma."
383603,4226401,2013-04-20,5785143,Tsipora,"Great host and spot! The location is perfectly close to the action, but on a quiet, tree-lined street. I wouldn't change a thing."
383603,4281795,2013-04-24,767200,Gregory,"A great place to stay in Austin. The room is pretty spacious and well equipped with a comfortable bed, a sizable desk, and a private entrance. The location is very convenient, within walking distance of many destinations, and if you have a bike (I rented one) you can get pretty much anywhere you'd want to go easily. Leslie was a friendly and welcoming host, as was her dog, Friday. I had a great first visit to Austin and would stay there again on my next one."
383603,4411496,2013-05-03,2972316,Rich,"I had a terrific stay with Leslie. Good location for access to anyplace in Austin. Great dog, Friday. Leslie made some carrot cake cupcakes for her class and gave me one. It was awesome. I would stay at Leslie's place again. Great value."
383603,4638615,2013-05-17,4315045,Lauren,"Leslie is very thoughtful and accommodating and her dog, Friday, is great. Leslie even has a very generous ""if you forgot your toothbrush/shampoo/etc"" box in the room. You can definitely walk downtown (I did, more than once), but next time I would probably rent a car to get around Austin."
383603,4707693,2013-05-21,923513,Michael,"My stay with Leslie was great! The place was very clean and has everything you'll need. Leslie of course, was very pleasant to speak with and recommended some great places to check out. 

The place is ideal for checking out what real Austin has to offer; it was very convenient to walk to the cool neighborhood bars of East Downtown, and if you wanted to see more of the typical 6th street nightlife, just walk a few more minutes and you're there.

For checking out the university and some of the other areas like South Congress and North Austin, you'll probably want to have a bike. However, being a New Yorker, walking around was no problem for me. 

I would definitely recommend Leslie and her place to anyone visiting Austin! Thanks Leslie!"
383603,4869155,2013-05-29,5224414,Stephanie,"My sister and I had a wonderful stay with Leslie! Her house is quaint, clean, and in a funky area. We spent our days out exploring Austin and had no trouble walking downtown, to SoCo, Zilker Park, UT, Barton Springs, etc... Leslie was welcoming and had great suggestions for live music and other local activities. I highly recommend staying with her! "
383603,4896551,2013-05-31,6398079,Tim,"Leslie's place was great. It was close to major downtown areas. The house was clean, orderly and she had everything that I needed for my travels. Thanks Leslie. "
383603,5117633,2013-06-13,4280649,Elaine,"Great host, nice room, fresh eggs, awesome location! What more could I have ask for. Leslie, if I were to return to Austin, I'd totally do this again!"
383603,5165272,2013-06-16,5785143,Tsipora,"I had another wonderful stay at Leslie's place. She has a great house, fully equipped kitchen, and nice yard. The location is easily accessible to much of the city. I highly recommend staying here!"
383603,5324124,2013-06-24,5242127,Anna,"Leslie was great! Super open, friendly and accessible. The house was cozy & comfortable, just as it was described. Room was spacious, had separate entrance (which is always nice) and Leslie had many thoughtful amenities like bug spray, sunscreen, toothpaste & maps available for guests. I suggest renting a bike or car to get around the lovely city of Austin, and be sure to go to Barton Springs! Magic :)"
383603,5437103,2013-06-30,3756770,Justin,"Stayed here for a week. Very welcoming host and a nice little room. Appreciated the large desk and huge ceiling fan. Leslie took the time to answer any questions I had about Austin, and was always very friendly. Would recommend to others."
383603,5687493,2013-07-11,1325026,Adam,"The ""cozy little house"" was great.  The room was neat and tidy and has its own entrance.  Had everything I needed to make the stay easy and convenient and Leslie was friendly and helpful.  Location was great for taking in East Austin or a short drive wherever else.  And price was right.  Thanks Leslie!"
383603,5743345,2013-07-14,7354592,Johnna,"Leslie was a great hostess! Her house is adorable, clean, and colorful, and the room is comfortable and as private as you would like it to be. Definitely check out the hens out back and watch for butterflies out front if you have the time. Her sweet dog, Friday, waits faithfully at the door when Leslie is gone, and the sweet cat on the porch will always greet you with a meow and leg brush. Leslie gave us great tips on where to go to eat and sight-see, and so sweetly offered us homemade soap when we left! 

The house is about a 10-15 minute walk to downtown Austin along Cesar Chavez, during which we felt completely safe; it never felt out of the way at all, and was close to Lady Bird Lake, Town Lake, and South Austin as well.  Plus, there's a delicious coffee shop along the way, Cenote, that offers a great breakfast! The city is easy to get around and definitely walkable (we walked A LOT), but I recommend renting a bike or car to get around most efficiently. We so enjoyed our stay in Austin, and will definitely be coming back (sooner rather than later, hopefully); I'd not hesitate to contact Leslie about staying there again!"
383603,5929284,2013-07-22,5866117,Seth,"Leslie is an awesome host.  So easy going and so cool.  Her place is clean and charming and she has the cutest dog Friday (who also guards the house.  The room was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space.  I found Leslie to be very easy to get along with as we had many common interests.  She was very attentive and aware of me when I was there.  She made sure not to make noise when I was sleeping and had coffee ready for when I went to work.  Location wise I loved it.  The east side is the place for me and it's in walking distance to some great bars, restaurants and trailers on 6th street.  It was a real pleasure to stay in such a safe and secure place.  If I have the opportunity to stay at Leslie's again I surely will.  

July '13 "
383603,6030801,2013-07-27,4695249,Anastasiya,"Leslie was one of the most kick-ass hosts ever !!! From her central location ( I walked EVERYWHERE, from Rainer street to 6th street, to capital hill, to the u of t in Austin.. ), the area is safe and residential, the many restaurants/coffee shops right around her house. Her house itself is roomy and clean, her dog is an absolute delight and did not make a noise during my whole 3 day stay. As a seasoned host, Leslie had a box in my room with a ton of travel essentials ( from shampoo, to bug spray to face wash ) which is really thoughtful of her to have put there. Having lived in Austin for well over 10 years, she knew all the best spots to go to, to drink at , to make friends at and she shared her knowledge freely. Since I am a woman traveling alone, she made a ton of time for general small talk and was nice enough to answer my millions of questions ( from general curiosity to ""big"" 21 year old female dramas ). Overall, Leslie is an incredible host, she is as local Austin as it gets. I recommend her highly and would definetly stay with her again when I come back to Austin ( best city in Texas .. For sure )"
383603,6094985,2013-07-29,4872328,Aziz,"Leslie was a great host. I stayed with her for 2 nights in late July, and she was very accommodating. The room was setup and ready, she gave me instructions for where to find things around the house as well as great recommendations for things to do in the neighborhood and in town in general. She even made me coffee in the morning!

She was extremely laid back and easy to talk to. She has a dog named Friday who is awesome, he quickly became my best friend when i was at the house. 

All in all a great experience, would definitely rent from her again, no complaints whatsoever."
383603,6204873,2013-08-03,2373364,Stephen,"Leslie's place was just what I needed. As advertised, it is very easy to get downtown from her house. I was able to avoid the expense of a car rental and use the buses. Lots of cool east Austin coffee shops and restaurants are within easy reach as well. Would stay here again."
383603,6267257,2013-08-05,4326829,Megan,Leslie was a great host. My friend and I needed a last minute place to stay when we were driving cross country and Leslie was welcoming and accommodating. She gave some great recommendations of places to eat and drink that were all within walking distance. Her home is a great location for everything you want to see in Austin! 
383603,6494920,2013-08-14,2334715,Christine,"Leslie was a great host, and often there would be baked goodies that she is willing to share with her guests. She is super friendly and often gave a lot of great information about things to see and places to check out.

Her home is in a fairly safe neighborhood about a 2 minute drive right into the city. It is in a gentrified part of the city, so I wouldn't recommend walking at night if you are a single woman traveler, but if definitely safe if you want to take a bike ride to town. There is a great cafe, called Cenote, just a short walk away that has really great breakfast/brunch burritos and wifi. South Congress is just short distance drive with really great restaurants and shops. I rented a car, which I would recommend if you really want to see the city. 

It was nice to have my own separate entrance, so that I could come and go as I please without disturbing anyone. The room is spacious and nicely equipped with a desk, dresser, and a wardrobe bar to hang your clothing on. She supplies you with bathroom towels to shower and even a beach towel if you're going for a swim... All around a great place. I would definitely stay there again while in Austin.

Her dog Friday is super friendly and always willing to hang out and play when you're around. There is a friendly stray cat that hangs around outside and never a disturbance."
383603,6713514,2013-08-22,5785143,Tsipora,"Couldn't ask for a better host! Leslie is great, Friday the dog is sweet as can be, and the house is sweet. Location is perfect for a visit--it's super easy to get around by foot, and there's a great bike rental place nearby for further adventures."
383603,6885103,2013-08-28,8290247,Laura,"Leslie was an awesome hostess!  Super cute and clean house with the perk of four-legged Friday : )  He's a real gem, that one. 

Leslie was super easygoing and left great instructions about how to access the guest key, she made coffee and gave great recommendations about what to check out around town. 

Hope to stay there again!"
383603,6975502,2013-09-01,8408311,Nick,Leslie was a great host and very helpful with any questions you have. Location was good; I was able to walk to numerous places. And if you stay here you can enjoy fresh eggs from her hen's in the backyard each morning ;)
383603,7083374,2013-09-05,5643137,Roman,"Leslie was cool with us arriving late as we came in from Dallas, cool with us having our bikes there, cool with giving us a muffin and just generally cool.  Friday the dog likes rubs and general lovins and hardly stirs at all when you get up in the middle of the night for any bathroom trips. There's a nifty neighborhood cat that seems to go from house to house making random cameo visits - also cool with rubs and lovins on your way in or out of Leslie's comfy house. As mentioned in some other reviews, the door leading into the spare bedroom is a useful bonus!  Thanks Leslie!"
383603,7114222,2013-09-07,419879,Ladislas,"Good location, nice room, fast internet, cool host."
383603,7484334,2013-09-22,2840226,Lori,"Leslie is a great hostess. It's a perfect location and in easy walking distance to the convention center. There's also a couple of spots to grab some dinner within a block or two. 
I enjoyed Leslie's hospitality by sharing a banana muffin and hot coffee. That was a nice touch! Thanks Leslie. I would definitely stay with Leslie again. "
383603,7593668,2013-09-25,8954518,Adam,"Leslie's place is ideal. 
It's walking distance from everywhere you might want to visit.. It's clean, tidy, cheap, has wifi, plus it's only an 18dollar can ride from the airport. What more do you need?
Leslie also pointed out some good places to go for food and drink, and following her advice I had an awesome time in Austin.  
Highly recommend it. "
383603,7920584,2013-10-08,8521948,Daniel,"Just got back from a great Austin weekend staying at Leslie's place.  The place is perfect for a weekend trip or extended stay in Austin.  We rented bikes to get further around town but also appreciated being able to walk to tons of great bars, restaurants on the east side as well as downtown.  The place is also only a few blocks from Austin's river trail which was ideal for biking as well as for some awesome early-morning runs.  

Having lost my own four-legged friend recently, I also really enjoyed hanging out with Friday, a terrific and low-key pooch.  Leslie made us coffee and was even cool enough to pre-stock the fridge with beer for our arrival.  I'd definitely stay again on my next trip to Austin.  "
383603,8041722,2013-10-14,8058819,Eric,"Leslie was friendly and a good host. We were visiting for ACL Festival, and although it was a fairly long walk we were happy with the decision to stay here. The room was nice and we enjoyed our stay. "
383603,8156919,2013-10-18,9159755,Harry,"My stay with Leslie couldn't have been better. She directed me to some great music venues and food options around the neighborhood, and all of them were fantastic. She's a relaxed and generous host, not to mention really cool and fun to talk to. Her dog is super mellow and the house is clean and comfortable. Book a stay with her!"
383603,8278743,2013-10-23,8690348,Hannah,"Leslie was a great host! She is very knowledgeable about the area, and was helpful in recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. She is a seasoned Air Bnb hostess, so all of the little things you need when you travel were available. We walked everywhere and took the bus which was an easy catch from her house. 
For us, the quarters were a bit close- a couple in a tiny house made it hard to not feel invasive. For some, it may work, but for us I think we will choose a bigger place next time."
383603,8354404,2013-10-27,5109755,Robin,"Leslie and her adorable dog Friday were fantastic hosts! The room was clean and lovely and it was great having our own private entrance so we didn't have to disturb her late at night. The walk downtown was easy and safe, though we usually took cabs back at night. Leslie was super friendly and gave us great resturant suggestions. We would definetly stay here again!"
383603,8470752,2013-11-01,3858497,Arkajit,"I had a fantastic time staying with Leslie. She was a very welcoming host, who'd thought of everything a guest could need. There was a fresh towel, a basket of toiletries, a bundle of Austin maps and guides, and even a portrait with the Wifi name and password waiting for me in my room. The room, itself, had its own front-door which made it easy to come and go whenever I needed to.

Leslie was quite friendly and made me feel at home right away, offering me coffee/tea in the morning and generously sharing some of the baked goods she made. I felt very comfortable hanging out in the living room or kitchen, just playing with her cool dog, Friday, reading a book, or talking to her. Leslie's full of good, funny stories about her students, her music, and her travels. We had many fun conversations and I learned a lot from her.

And the location was ideal. It was close to downtown (~1mi. walk) and made a good launchpad for exploring Austin. And it was also residential, quiet and safe at night so you could sleep easily.

Overall, definitely recommend booking a stay with Leslie. It'll be great!"
383603,8565803,2013-11-05,9118980,Jeff,"Leslie has a great home which is a short walk or cab ride to the downtown core. And she is an excellent host. She keeps the house tidy, and is really easy going. Further, Leslie is a really interesting person to speak with. It was a really good stay. Thanks Leslie (& Friday)!"
383603,8812202,2013-11-19,7839595,Jacki,"We were in town for the F1 race. Leslie was very accommodating and it was an easy 10-15min walk into downtown. Only issue was the bed size, best for a single person or small couple. Was comfortable otherwise!  "
383603,8930672,2013-11-26,2467082,Andrew,"Leslie has a very nice space. It was clean and well set up and having our own entrance was a plus. Leslie was generous with her baked goods, fresh eggs and coffee and was pleasant to live with for the few days we were there. The laundry was a bonus and her dog Friday was lovely. Great experience all around."
383603,9178570,2013-12-11,9147399,Amir,"great location and very warm welcome from leslie!
 the room is very nice and green.
i loved the athosphear of the house.

383603,9274201,2013-12-17,10363988,Benji,"My wife and I took a weekend trip to Austin and wanted to see more than the traditional downtown.  Booking a room in ""the cozy little house"" ended up being perfect.  Not only did our hostess provide a clean and friendly environment, but Leslie also provided several suggestions for some really cool places to visit in east Austin.  We didn't even make to all of them because there are so many!  I would highly recommend the cozy little house on Willow St.  Very affordable and a great location.  Of course, the experience would not be the same without Friday, Leslie's dog.  He was very sweet and didn't mind some scratches and a little flattery every now and again. ;)
We will definitely be returning to Leslie's next time we make a getaway to Austin."
383603,9372865,2013-12-24,9673465,Sean,"Awesome place..Leslie and Friday the dog, really makes you feel at home. I am planning to stay again soon.."
383603,9553112,2014-01-02,7801965,Paul,Leslie was a great host. Very accommodating! Place was nice and clean! Would stay again for sxsw coming up! 
383603,9771461,2014-01-09,9708166,Bradley,"Leslie was a great host, and her house is an easy walk to downtown to main attractions.  I highly recommend her place, and I'd stay with her again without hesitation. "
383603,9928640,2014-01-20,8854522,Lucia,"Leslie's place was a good place to stay while i attended a conference near the Convention Center. It was good to walk downtown in the morning and get tacos with eggs and guacamole on the way (garden concessions on E 6th St near where it passes under the highway, across from the tortilla bakery). My fellow conference attendees were spending $18 for breakfast at the hotel. A couple of blocks from Leslie's at Cochin and Cesar Chavez, there's a vegan restaurant with great fresh vegetable and fruit juices, Mexican food, and a bakery. The bus two blocks away takes you downtown in 7 minutes or less. Loved having the dog there when I returned to my room. "
383603,10379249,2014-02-17,10228870,Georg,"I stayed at Leslie's place while attending a conference in Austin (Downtown is a 30 min walking distance). The place was neat and clean, Leslie was very hospitable, and Friday the dog is a real charme. I definitely recommend her place!"
383603,10628761,2014-02-28,2931302,Jesper,"I didn't get to see Leslie much, as my flight to Austin was 12 hours delayed. She was nice and late arrival was no problem. The room was clean and colorful, with maps, magazines and books available.
I will definitely stay here again if I get the chance!"
383603,11142695,2014-03-22,4470986,Diego,"Leslie was great! She was very accommodating, the room was exactly as described, and yes, the dog is amazing. Before this trip, I hadn't been to Austin before and had a hard time deciding where to stay. She is in a fantastic area! It's a short walk to the part of the city you'd like to see and hang out in, and only a few more blocks to some of the most beautiful city parks and concert halls I've seen! I had some wonderful conversations with her and really appreciated the recommendations she gave! If you're in the area, check out BuzzMill a few blocks from her place. It's a super cool coffee/bar place!"
383603,11309694,2014-03-29,11547997,Raymond,This is exactly what I wanted out of my Austin experience. I knew I didn't want to be tucked away in the tourist part of town and I wanted to have access to most of the city with my bike and Leslie's place was both of those things. The neighborhood is quickly becoming pretty mainstream but still has that authentic Austin feel to it. Leslie is so laid back and I immediately felt comfortable. Had a great stay. I now know why so many people visit Austin and never leave. 
383603,11585443,2014-04-08,9357066,Helene,"Leslies cozy little house walk downtown was awesome. Leslie herself is a very hospitable and personable young lady. The room gas it's own entrance so you feel like you are in your own quarters. The house has all amenities and I was delighted to find a back yard with chickens a dog and a cat, it felt just like home. I can highly recommend staying at Leslie's place she makes you feel very welcome."
383603,12018602,2014-04-21,10060712,Kelsey,"Leslie was such a great host! Although we were out and exploring the city most of our stay, this place was perfect. Leslie's place is in a great location. We were able to walk to everything we wanted. Having our own door to the room made us feel like we weren't intruding when coming home late. Leslie is very laid back and accommodating. Thanks for opening your home to us! "
383603,12275192,2014-04-28,1290912,Tonya,"Great airbnb experience!  I highly recommend Leslie's place.  It was a great deal for being so close to downtown Austin.  Her room has its own entrance and is very quiet and private.  It's well-stocked with thoughtful amenities and the bed is super-comfy.  Located in a lovely, well-kept historic Austin neighborhood, it's about a 25 minute walk to the convention center downtown, and there are several convenient bus stops.  Leslie is very inviting and her dog Friday is a charmer.  I'd definitely stay here again!"
383603,12418363,2014-05-01,12323773,Carsten,"Very cozy and great location to explore downtown from by foot.

Leslie was a great host, as was Friday her dog!"
383603,12620452,2014-05-06,13545315,Kathryne,"Absolutely lovely. Highly recommend. I needed a place to crash for 4 nights while I was out and about. This place was a breezy walk downtown, and Leslie is the perfect host.    "
383603,12795913,2014-05-11,14747784,Dana,"I had a great stay with Leslie, who very kindly gave me a lift to the airport. Downtown is easy to walk to in about 15 min. "
383603,12930575,2014-05-14,14736757,Erika,"I had a great time staying at Leslie's place! It is about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the downtown area, and a quick walk down to a park along the river. It was great to really see a neighborhood in Austin. Leslie is a fantastic host and my stay was very comfortable. Her dog is also great!! It was nice to spend time on the porch at night, and I felt like I got a real feel for the city. You'd be lucky to stay with her!"
383603,13021733,2014-05-17,1279181,Matthew,Leslie was great. Apartment was well described and clean. Would stay there again. 
383603,13123561,2014-05-19,9356481,Jana,"We booked on a very short notice a day before and Leslie was great! As it was our first time in Austin, we did not get to spend much time with her, but mainly slept and showered at her wonderful spacious house. The location is great, close to everything but the room was incredibly quiet - I don't even sleep that well at home.  The neighbourhod is goregeous, the houses have open front lawns and it feels totally safe. Cafes, bars etc. are all just a short walk away (I recommend Cenote down the road for breakfast, or coffee at Texas Coffee Traders!) Leslies dog Friday also made us feel welcome, he's cute, friendly and very uncomplicated.  The room and house were lovingly decorated, everything was tidy and clean but still felt very personal."
383603,13426468,2014-05-27,14637473,Lauren,"Leslie's house charming and cozy. When you first arrive, you are greeted with butterflies and bumblebees pollinating the native wildflowers that fill the front yard. There is a fantastic Mexican restaurant near by and public transit stations are just a minute's walk from the front door. Leslie is a great host, even though we only crossed paths briefly. My weekend stay was comfortable and pleasant - I highly recommend booking with Leslie for a short trip in Austin."
383603,13731734,2014-06-03,565659,Marianne,"Nice, clean, comfy! Leslie was also the perfect host. She was very accommodating and helpful. I enjoyed staying with her very much and would definitely do so again. "
383603,13881624,2014-06-07,3686739,Leanna,"Leslie's house is an awesome place to stay! Leslie had fantastic communication on checking in and out and anything else we needed. Her house was very clean, comfortable and in a great location. It was an easy walk or bus ride into downtown Austin. 

One of the highlights is her sweet dog, and beautiful landscaping - I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Austin! And if you are lucky enough to go there when she has homemade chocolate cake then you are in for a real treat :)"
383603,13942617,2014-06-09,9992619,Maia,The cozy little house was everything we expected and more! We were very comfortable in Leslie's home and we especially loved the neighborhood too. I love the blue color of the walls and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely come back and stay again :)
383603,14722915,2014-06-24,1753164,Katharine,"Leslie was a wonderful host and her place was perfect for my needs. It was very clean and quiet, with lots of great restaurants and shops within a short walk. The fresh eggs and tomatoes from her garden were a huge treat each morning!"
383603,14796195,2014-06-26,13876435,Yvette,"My short stay at Leslie's was great.... Easy access by foot or bus to Austin and the room was the best I stayed in out of 5 places I stayed in the US. Super clean, bright, really comfy double bed and plump new pillows. She has thought of the little things you might have forgotten, or might unexpectedly need during your stay and the wifi was great. 
The bathroom is very clean and bright, and the private entry to the room (separate to the front door) was very handy if you like privacy.  
I'd definitely stay again if I ever make it back to Austin."
383603,15794220,2014-07-15,6713840,Jakin,"Leslie had a cute little room! Very friendly and had great tips on spots around town to check out. Everything was very clean and tidy. The best part about this is the distance to town. Walking distance to 6th street and also, killer Po-Boys right around the corner! Thanks for having me! "
383603,16567685,2014-07-29,895374,Pam,"Leslie was a great host! She was very helpful in recommending where to go/see/do/eat in Austin. The room was tidy and had all the necessities (blankets, pillows, towels, etc.). And the separate entrance was a plus. "
383603,16801502,2014-08-02,18661089,Emily,"I had a great stay with Leslie!  The place was clean and comfortable, and Leslie was very friendly and helpful with suggestions.  I was here to take the bar exam, so I was glad that the neighborhood was quiet.  It's on a pleasant residential street.  Overall it was a great experience."
383603,17841740,2014-08-18,6991536,Victor,"Leslie and her boyfriend Thomas were super friendly and fun to talk to. They have a very well-behaved dog called Friday. I was in Austin for a week for a conference at the Austin Convention and my stay was very comfortable. Being a foodie/food blogger, they gave some amazing restaurant recommendations. Not a single recommendation was a disappointment. Their location is close to a Mexican restaurant called Las Cazueles that serve $1 breakfast taco. I tend to order 2 tacos every morning before going to the conference. Their house is also located about 15 mins of walk of the famous Franklin's BBQ - the best BBQ in the States. I was grateful that Leslie lend me her chair and Thomas gave some Mexican sodas for my 4 hours wait in front of Franklin's. All in all, I highly recommend booking this location. 

Thanks Leslie and Thomas for your great hospitality! Hope we will cross path again!"
383603,18118780,2014-08-22,10105766,Jemma,It was great to meet Leslie and stay at her place. She  was very accommodating with us having to changing our plans at the last minute . Her place was cool and tidy and she gave us some  local tips about Austin.  Loved our stay thanks! 
383603,18694635,2014-08-30,2039962,Mark,"Room was accurate. Great location. Thanks!

383603,19560274,2014-09-14,18069325,Chris,Great stay - Leslie and her boyfriend were very helpful with loads of tips/ advice when I asked for it. I also received a copy of the latest street press / gig guide on arrival - nice touch! about a 10 minute walk from East 6th street - great part of town if you want to see live music. 
383603,19889704,2014-09-20,12420203,Daniel,The room was amazing and Leslie and Thomas were down right awesome.  They made it feel like being at home.  Leslie and Thomas gave me a long list of local restaurants and just completely friendly.  The room was cozy and spacious.  The neighborhood was close to all the attractions.  Not to mention right around the corner from an outstanding Po Boy restaurant.  I will definitely be staying there again when I visit.
383603,20380506,2014-09-28,18843854,Amanda,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was definitely a good one! The home was very welcoming and reminded me of the culture in the east bay with the organic products, food compost bin, and monarch garden sanctuary. The location was a decent walk from downtown but the weather was pleasant and there was a lot to see along the way. I loved Friday the dog and Leslie was very sweet and knowledgable about the area. Although I didn't do much at the home except sleep, I would have felt comfortable in any of the rooms. "
383603,20965704,2014-10-08,13236282,Markus,"Leslie is a wonderful and provided great advice for good places to visit in Austin. The place is cozy and in great condition. The neighborhood is quiet, but close enough to downtown to be walkable. We would definitely come again. "

383603,21472363,2014-10-18,5714546,Ernest,She was very welcoming. She gave me treats to get friendly with her dog and also offered me beers in her frig. I really like the fact that she embroidered her Wifi name and password ;-)
383603,21692035,2014-10-21,16471058,Yousef,Leslie is a gracious host. She's very accommodating. Her dog is just lovely.  The house neat and charming. It is also very conveniently located.   I enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others.

4786928,34127157,2015-06-05,2806869,Meleni,"Great neighbourhood for Austin and perfect placement for the conference we were attending. SoCo is just the coolest place we've stayed in Austin so far and we'll definitely head there again. The bars and restaurants within walking distance from the apartment were so good we didn't even get up to 6th St on this visit! Thanks Alison for clear instructions and straightforward access when we arrived tired from a long flight. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there in your spacious apartment and the pool and fitness suite an added, but very necessary, bonus. WiFi speed was brilliantly fast which made it possible to keep working with our team in the UK and aircon a blessing with the heat and humidity after the heavy storms. All in all a really good week, thank you!! "
4325493,28021427,2015-03-16,28050482,Lindsay,Great place to stay and a great location to downtown Austin. Everything was as advertised and Chris' communication throughout the process was amazing.  Would stay here again. Comfortable bed and hot shower...all and exactly what we needed.  Close to the expressway for a quick drive downtown but also walkable via the trail. 
4325493,28269785,2015-03-21,16927181,Kelsey,"Chris was an amazing host for our stay in Austin.  He did everything to ensure we had everything we needed - including a local ice cream and local beer stocked for us.  Couldn't have been nicer.  Also the printed sheet that was a guide to the apartment was handy.  The bedroom has a toddler bed - which wasn't mentioned but might be a plus for a small family.  Apartment was located in a nice neighborhood- thank goodness for Taco Deli which made its way into our bellies each day we were there.  Take a walk into the Greenbelt- right near the apartment.  Thanks, Chris!"
4325493,50430392,2015-10-12,5282909,Brenda,The experience was great!  The apartment was very homey and Chris had everything available that we would want.  Excellent location to ACL in Zilker Park - walking distance!

We had a great time and the bed was very comfortable and the whole place was relaxing. The notes were great and helpful, thank you for your place we will use this again!!!

8327581,49720302,2015-10-05,17109611,Mara,"Ashley was warm and welcoming.  Beautiful place and surroundings with plenty of private space, yet welcomed me into her space as well.  Definitely recommend!"
8327581,49862307,2015-10-06,45569312,Jackie,Room was beautiful and Ashley was great! She was very accommodating and made our stay very comfortable. 
8327581,50538972,2015-10-12,40451448,Kristhine,"Ashley was an absolutely fantastic host! She was incredibly accommodating, and a super genuine and sweet human being! The room was super cute and cozy, I don't think the pictures do it justice! The house itself is on a hill, so the view from the bedroom windows were absolutely breathtaking! Ashley even had a cute set for us when we arrived of toiletries and things we might need while we were there. Would definitely stay here again the next time in Austin, and DEFINITELY recommend this beautiful hidden gem to everyone! It is very close to downtown; truly a perfect location that is close to everything. Thanks so much for everything Ashley! XOXO"
8327581,51406099,2015-10-19,25698940,Karen,"Ashley is such a kind and thoughtful host! Her home is adorable and the location is so convenient if you're planning to go downtown (we made the drive a few times back and forth, easily). The room is pretty, cozy, and very comfortable with a nice private bathroom. We felt very welcome to socialize or enjoy our privacy, and Ashley graciously offered coffee, food, Netflix and even wine glasses (because, you know, dignity ;P) when we came home for an early night. It felt like home! Bruce and Frankie are sweet greeters! We would recommend staying with Ashley any time, and would definitely stay again!"
8327581,52264067,2015-10-27,6561481,Brandi,"Ashley's place was great! Although the weather was not by far the best she & the room were so nice & accommodating. The room is exactly as described & better including personal touches such as Kruig w/ coffee & tea as well as personal toiletries if needed. Bed slept very well & was so relaxing after a day in the cold rain at COTA. Plenty of space to just enjoy the room or enjoy a nice bath in the large soaking tub, believe me being 6'1 & able to soak is an awesome thing! Would definitely request to stay & will be recommending to friends should they be in the Austin area. Via Uber averaged $11-12 dollars to downtown convention center area (downtown)  "
4996861,38283745,2015-07-14,33904893,Marisa,"We loved our stay here! The house is open and welcoming. The photos online actually didn't even do it justice. The floor plan is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing with friends and family. There were a lot of little perks that weren't listed, such as a full working refrigerator out back and games for family or adults. 

We loved the decor and the welcome note written on the chalkboard in the kitchen. The backyard is amazing w/ a section that has full shade the entire day, a set of wooden yard furniture to sit in and two sections of covered patio for seating. 

The neighborhood is an up and coming neighborhood in Austin and is quiet yet hip and friendly. It allows easy access to major roads and highways and once on Mopac is only a few minutes to downtown. We would definitely stay here again!

Leah and her husband were extremely accommodating and responded to questions quickly through out our stay. "

We were welcomed on Day One, enjoyed some late-night TV, went to the UT ceremony and a convenient dinner spot on Day Two, and left the morning of Day Three after a luxurious shower. Many thanks."
5871963,39123031,2015-07-20,38577168,Sonbol,"I didn't get a chance to meet Bruce in person, but he was very responsive.  I booked his room just a night before travelling to Austin and he approved me right away and the process was very smooth.  He communicated with me couple of times to make sure I am comfortable and everything is provided as promised.
His house is very nice, very clean and comfortable in a beautiful, safe and quite neighbourhood.  It's only about 20 minutes from downtown and easy access to highway.  Lots of parking in neighbourhood. 
Betty, Bruce's mom, was also very friendly and welcoming.  She shared a lot of stories with me and made sure I felt comfortable and welcomed.
I definitely recommend this place for a nice and relaxing stay at Austin.  It really felt like being at home."
5871963,40035585,2015-07-27,1170117,Yong H.(Mike),"I have lived hundreds of hotels and dozens of airbnb bookings, this is the first place I really felt HOME. Bruce's mother Betty lives in this big house alone, she's very clean, organized, and hospitable. My wife Laura became good friend with Betty, we love and love her, when we come back one day, we will visit her again. Thank you Betty, we will miss you mail you post cards in other countries. Please take care of yourself, God bless you!"
5871963,40846116,2015-08-02,39646243,Anna,"This was our first airbnb experience and it set a very high standard. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, everything was clean and it had a warm atmosphere. Ms. Betty is a kind lady with a lot to talk about and she was the best host to us. "
5871963,41860164,2015-08-09,39846238,Jillian,"The house is beautiful and Betty is amazing, we enjoyed our stay immensely. Betty was very accommodating, allowing us to use her fridge and freezer. We highly recommend staying with her if you are visiting Austin but would like to be far enough from the city."
5871963,42588525,2015-08-14,19010456,Johny,"Bruce's place in Austin was everything we had expected and hoped for having checked out the pictures. The neighborhood was quiet and safe and the bed was super comfy! Towels and toiletries were provided and were able to get our laundry done. Bruce was very prompt in responding to our reservation with a text message, providing important phone numbers, and checking if we were comfortable. We couldn't have asked for more. At the price, we considered this place to be the best deal. We also enjoyed spending time with Bruce's mother during breakfast and will stop by to say hello if we're ever in the neighborhood. We highly recommend this private room in Austin! "
5871963,43995051,2015-08-23,36369715,Leslie,Staying in Bruce's home was amazing! Betty was very sweet and very helpful and I want to emphasize on how CLEAN this place was. It was definitely nice feeling like you were at home after a long day out and about. I would definitely recommend this place!

5871963,48294975,2015-09-25,34056956,Shua,"This was my first Airbnb experience. 

I had a great time staying in Bruce's home. I arrived a bit late but was greeted with a warm welcome and immediately felt at home. His mother Betty is such a gem! She showed me around the house and made sure I could access everything I needed for my stay. Anytime I needed anything Betty was there to help. She had the best conversations but also allows you your privacy, as well.  I didn't meet Bruce in person but he was also there to help with any information I needed. The home and room were immaculate and there is a very spacious bathroom, both with shower and bath. The bed was so comfortable that I had some trouble waking up in the morning! 

The location is in South Austin but I was able to access downtown quite easily. There are also really nice shops near by the house and a sweet little bakery/brunch/internet cafe that I visited daily called 'Creme' .
It really was a wonderful trip and my stay was the best introduction into the Airbnb world I could have asked for. 
The house was also nice and cool with central air, which was perfect after a long day in the heat! 
I'm so happy I chose this place and would really recommend it to anyone wanting a comfortable and clean place within Austin. I'm going to miss Austin but most of all I'm going to miss Betty and the care she shows to her guests. I hope to be back next year!

5871963,51461004,2015-10-20,44467832,Andi,Betty was so welcoming! She offered us coffee in the morning and great conversation in the evening! She even got up at 6:00am to see us off for our early flight! The room was just as it appears online and the neighborhood was nice! Would have preferred if it was a bit closer to public transit!

2446434,28040814,2015-03-16,21662587,Kevin,"This is a charming apt, located conveniently next to the MetroRapid station, just one stop from Downtown Austin where lots of things happen and where SXSW is centered. We loved the warm decor, and the spacious arrangements. It accommodated the four of us with ease. While we did not have the chance to meet the host, Dorothy, in person, she made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended without any reservations."
2446434,28345785,2015-03-22,13380698,Agustin,Dorothy has an amazing apartment close to everything! She is very responsive and everything was perfect when we got there! So thanks Dorothy next year for sure I m trying to stay here again!

1825193,10993522,2014-03-16,10217920,Vincent,"It was my first time using AirBNB and right from the very beginning, Ginger was very sweet & communicated very well.  Upon arrival, she was very warm and welcoming. Overall, what I can say about her and my stay there, was that it was AMAZING. A beautiful home, cute dogs, and just a very welcoming and comfortable place to stay. I would definitely book over and over again when back in town. Thanks Ginger!!!"
1825193,11773946,2014-04-14,13856250,April,"WOW!!!
This was our first time trying airbnb and thanks to Ginger and our experience, we will never waste money at a hotel again! Ginger's home was just lovely! We stayed there for 2 nights this weekend and we were able to bring our dog (who just loved her ENORMOUS backyard). The house was so chic, stylish, and comfortable... she has such great taste! The check in/out were incredibly flexible, too! 
The master guest room was equally stylish, clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were so incredibly comfy and the shower was clean and spacious. It was perfect. 
Ginger was such a great host and gave us so many recommendations of places to enjoy around Austin (which were wonderful). I am so glad we stayed here and plan to try and stay here again anytime we're in Austin!!"
1825193,31372795,2015-05-04,31552300,Laura,"What a great first AirBnB experience!! I recommend Ginger's room and bath, to anyone or any couple needing to stay in the South Austin area.   She welcomed us with open arms and made our stay in Austin memorable with her warm, easy going, open and friendly personality and her comfortable home. "
8549096,48845082,2015-09-28,27166863,Travis,"Place was very nice and clean.  Small, but perfect for what we were looking for.  Location is good, close to several bars and restaurants.  Less than 10 minute ride to 6th street and an easy walk to campus.  Nick was a good host, answered any questions and was very responsive and quick.  Nice place, would definitely stay here again.  "
8549096,49403892,2015-10-03,37268765,Joseph,We stayed here for an event at UT.  The location is very close to I-35 and quick to get to UT.  The place was very functional and a great size for 2 people.  Very clean and comfortable.  Nick made everything easy and was very accommodating .  Conveniently located behind a large shopping center with a HEB.
8549096,49838848,2015-10-06,14933669,Miguel,"Great place, neat setup, and good location. We stayed for ACL and it was a short drive or uber. HEB is minute or 2 walk from the house. The cottage is in the back of the main how but there is a gate separating the two and plenty of privacy!"
8549096,50543397,2015-10-12,7673096,Deanna,"The house was beautiful, comfy and cozy, with a touch of modern! Nick had upgraded us to the main cottage, which was at the same address. There was a nice little note greeting us and letting us know to contact him if we needed anything. 

The cottage is an open floor plan, two bedroom with an en suite bathroom for each, sun room and nice size kitchen. The house had plenty of towels and wash cloths and all the basics you would need to make a meal. 

There is a small shopping center located directly behind the house (restaurants, grocery store, shopping, etc.). It is also good walking distance to a place called Julio's Cafe - they have really good Tex Mex.

Uber was easy to catch from this location and the bus stop was in walking distance. 

Also, Nick was very responsive prior to the trip and provided me with the door code prior to my visit. Getting into the house was seamless. For a newbie to Airbnb, that was great!

I would definitely love to stay at this cottage again. 

Thanks Nick!"
8549096,50962322,2015-10-16,45410266,Alyss,"This getaway cottage was perfect. It was convenient for commuting to an office and great if you need to uber back from a bar. You won't want for delivery services and there is a 24 hour HEB right behind it. Suffice to say, great location. The cottage was perfect as a home away from home will all the appliances you might need, a comfortable bed, and beautiful bathroom. If you want to sit on a porch and have a drink, you could certainly do that too. Shower temp was a little finnicky being my biggest complaint."
8549096,51414677,2015-10-19,8091608,Holly Holland,"Nicks place is ""zen, comfortable and downright lovely"". I wished I lived in his space. Pictures of the place on Airbnb, do no justice as to when you are actually standing in the middle and observing the amazing scenery. Cute and cozy beds, living room and a zen court yard. Do not pass this listing up. Location is super to coffee shops, restaurants and a supermarket is walking distance. This place has charm and beyond "
8549096,52242249,2015-10-27,44629728,Sorin,"Our stay was wonderful. The guest cottage was clean, spacious, and well decorated. We even had a small front yard to ourselves. Everything was a reasonable drive away and grocery stores were within walking distance. "
8549096,52944948,2015-11-02,43044036,Sam,"Nick was quick to respond and accept my last minute plans, and he even upgraded me to the main cottage. It was very accommodating with a very nice kitchen stocked with whatever you could need. The cottage is very nice and cozy!"
4235048,20806795,2014-10-05,17130140,Vadim,This was perfect for our weekend. We just needed a place to spend the night and the location was great. The hosts Sarah and David were very kind and helpful. The place was cozy and it made you feel like you were at home or at least at a friends house. Thank you guys so much!
4235048,28080146,2015-03-17,2043159,Laurent,"I really enjoyed my stay at Sarah' house, as I enjoyed my short trip in Austin. The place is really nice, quiet and not far from downtown. I thank Sarah for her hospitality ;)"
4235048,49628975,2015-10-05,340483,Natalie,"Matt and I stayed at Sarah and Davids private room for our first ACL festival. From the minute we arrived we felt very welcomed by them and their cute feline friends. The whole time we were there we felt at ease and like we were at a friends place, it was very cozy. Their home has a great location in a nice quiet street in the hip Zilker neighborhood. We'd love to stay again!"
4235048,50285283,2015-10-11,36669098,Leah,Sarah and David were amazing hosts. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Sarah and David have recommendations for local eats and places to go. I highly recommend them.

Nick's place was conveniently located and very spacious. I enjoyed staying with him, meeting his flatmates and the house dog. One of the flatmates John gave me a fantastic tour of Austin and is a great entertainer. Would recommend his place to anyone looking for a quiet place, not far from downtown Austin"
7748582,43864732,2015-08-22,40731940,Mark,"I highly suggest you make a reservation with Nick while you explore Austin. From his flexibility and reliability, to his clean home and  accommodations he was a truly amazing Host! and his flatmate, John and girlfriend were all very friendly, helpful, and peaceful.  They helped me with my dog and made sure I recieved an ample amount of privacy for my work.  I couldn't have gotten any luckier on finding myself in a comfy room in such a beuatiful home. Incredibly cool for my first airbnb experience!"
7748582,48852301,2015-09-28,14913443,David,"Nick and his housemates were excellent hosts -- they were very warm and welcoming, accessible and responsive to my concerns, and even took care of my puppy for a few hours while I was out. "

4173938,28465277,2015-03-24,4427274,Karen,"Leah's house was the perfect location for 2 nights in Austin. Gorgeous, clean interiors and 2 minutes walk from South Congress, I wish I'd been staying there a little longer!"
4173938,35515184,2015-06-19,1235409,Mina,"This place is really great! Totally accurate on the pictures, almost even better in real life. Clean, all the amenities, and super convenient location. You can walk most places, I rented a bike from tsunami rentals just 10 min walk up south congress, towards the river. Leah was very responsive and quick to answer. Loved it!"
1613733,9545604,2014-01-02,1158501,Andrew,"Great experience. Ryan and Samantha were very easy to work with. The house was very clean and dog friendly. The neighborhood is ""Austin"" transitional, with very cute restaurants and coffee shops nearby area, I especially recommend the Hillside Farmacy. We stayed at the house during NYE and had a full view of the Austin fireworks from the rooftop patio. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend this place."
1613733,12002339,2014-04-21,2112007,Katrina,Awesome host.  House was clean and good size.  And their animals were so friendly and playful.  I loved how it was not far from things.  The host helped us with any questions we had. And let us cook their eggs from their chickens. Great stay!!
1613733,13976710,2014-06-09,15587803,Sam,"Me and my best friend came down to Austin for XGames and Ryan was kind enough to open his doors for us, even while out of town. We had a great time, at a beautiful house! The neighborhood is being ""rebuilt"" with houses more appropriate to be neighbors, but everyone we spoke to was very friendly. The goats were fricken awesome to watch, they would head butt each other and play king of the hill on some of their little play houses. Beautiful interior of the house and great shower in the master. There are some minor flaws (the toilet handle broke, and some other tiny details) all easily dealt with even with minuscule knowledge. But... Nothing to keep you from renting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be hoping to stay again for any other occasions. Ryan & Samantha were in another continent, yet were still able to answer questions or direct us to their ""house sitter"" while they're away. Highly recommend, especially if you're a reader, incredible library, and Ryan is quite the accomplished writer and business professional. Rent here! You won't regret it, was a fantastic vacation and rental house for the weekend!"
1613733,15370694,2014-07-07,16876834,Hannah,Fantastic place to stay in Austin! Very modern and clean. The goats were fun as well! The alarm system made us feel safe. Would return! 
1613733,16523698,2014-07-28,9473232,Kory,"What a great weekend for the crew and myself while staying at this spot! I like this house so much, I want to build it! The Pygmy Goats and Chickens were super chill and easy to play with. Would stay here again, no complaints besides having to leave Austin too soon!!! "
1613733,21228886,2014-10-13,21506573,Jorge,"Had a perfect weekend and the stay here for ACL weekend and  this house was a great part of the perfect weekend. The host was very friendly and welcoming. The furnishings and decor of the house were very interesting , and fun to look at. The book collection was amazing as well . The house had an alarm which made everyone stay feel safe. I highly recommend this house!!"
1613733,21707350,2014-10-22,4681466,Vic,"My friends and I had a great time in Austin! Ryan was friendly and communicative from the get-go. Ryan was out of town for the week when we were staying, but he made sure that we had a point of contact that was friendly and very responsive if we had any questions. The listing itself was just as described, and it truly felt like we were somewhere we could call home for the week! "
1613733,22343711,2014-11-03,4203093,Adrian,From the start prior to even booking the house ryan was very nice and welcoming. we loved he stay at the house all of the things that were available  were exactly what we needed. would definitely stay again .

Close to anything you would want to do in Austin. It's in a cool neighborhood and very secure. All in all, if you are coming down to Austin for a fun get away, this is the place to stay!"
1613733,29931048,2015-04-14,26918564,Bradley,"The house was great. Just as described, very pretty and close to 6th street. The animals were great and Samantha and Loni were in contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed and to answer any questions.  We would 100% recommend this place!  Austin was a great trip and we'd love to stay at this house again if Ryan and them would ever have us. "
1613733,30305641,2015-04-20,2112007,Katrina,"We love staying at Sam's and Ryan's!!! Last time we stayed Bucket and Biscuit were sooo much smaller, they are the sweetest and cutest ever. There was a horrid storm both days we were in Austin which threw off the plans for the weekend but the house accommodated us so well we just all hung out and ate and relaxed. They left some awesome wine and beer for everyone which we all loved! Only thing I would request is a baking sheet!! LOL, and thats just because we stayed in and I went to make cinnamon rolls but I just threw em in a cast iron so all was well anyway!!  I love this home and will book again!!! xoxoxox"
1613733,31985948,2015-05-12,691372,Malcolm,"Beautiful house, quiet neighborhood, well hidden location. Had a great time at Ryan's house. Overall a 5 star experience. Smooth checkin and checkout.  Wonderfull communication and help if needed. "
1613733,33280086,2015-05-26,3026216,Austin,"The house was exactly as pictured, the goats were playing with each other every time we went out to see them. House is updated throughout particularly the bathrooms and kitchen. It rained a lot, while we were there but the hbo/netflix/books were a great way to enjoy our stay. There was beer in the fridge and wine on the counter for us which was a nice touch. "
1613733,34436414,2015-06-08,2062564,Tom,"Fantastic place to stay, but be sure everyone in your group understands the goats aren't guaranteed to be there (weather in this case). If they don't understand, there will be heartbreak because the pictures are so adorable."
1613733,35095665,2015-06-15,31789932,Bianca,"The pictures are accurate. The house was nice and clean. The host was very nice and quickly responsive with everything that we needed. The only thing is the neighborhood was a little questionable. The house is located in an alley way and the home across the way could use some serious work. It was such an eye sore considering that house we stayed in was nice. The grass also could have been cut, but besides that, the inside was certainly up to par. Nice house to stay in!"
1613733,35896892,2015-06-22,791899,Sylvia,"We had a wonderful time at Ryan's house! It was clean and comfortable. He promptly responded to my inquiry and gave very clear instructions on how to get there and into his house. He was very accommodating despite the fact that I reserved the place only 1 day prior to my arrival. 
The house is very near all Downtown attractions. I would definitely come back!!
Thank you Ryan."
1613733,36463589,2015-06-28,25664710,Noreen,"We had a great stay at their house!  Immediately felt at home.  Very cozy, clean and exactly as described.  Communication with then has been excellent.  We would like to come back someday.

We missed the animals though but we understand why they had to move."
1613733,36644461,2015-06-29,27833609,Logan,"My confidence in AirBNB only improves as I continue to have hosts like Ryan. 

My stay at his place was flawless. It was exactly what I had expected. The house was extremely clean, well kept, modern and had Sonos. Which is something worth mentioning if you like to enjoy some music as you spend time with friends. 

Our arrangement wasn't the easiest and I am thankful that Ryan was so accommodating. For starters, I asked to stay the night at 6pm due to the way my day had developed. As there was 4 of us, listings were scarce at such an hour for the same night. Without hesitation, Ryan accepted the request. Then shortly after, shot me a text so we could clarify the key exchange and other simple details. 

Not only was getting settled in easy, ""checking out"" was just as easy, twice. So there is another situation that made Ryan such a great host. We stayed up late on Saturday night then slept in on Sunday. Expecting to leave just once, we set up the house to leave and headed out in search of breakfast tacos. As we made our way downtown, it started to pour. Then the rain led to flooding. At which point I asked Ryan if we could go back to the house and wait it out til the rain let up. He, without any question, welcomed us back and only asked to update him when we were done. It felt like a godsend. Fortunately, we are in Texas where weather only lasts a few hours or minutes. In this case, the latter. Once the weather passed, we headed out once again and I left him a thank you note to reassure him of how we felt. 

I highly recommend this host/location/listing.

The host went above and beyond. 

I actually already wrote this review once but unfortunately my phone had a glitch so it was cleared. I had written a much more elaborate explanation as to why I enjoyed my stay so much but I would now rather just say, try this place out and you will not be disappointed in the slightest.  

Thanks again Ryan.  "
1613733,38273863,2015-07-14,7885487,Yvonne,"Really great place to stay! The entrance is in an alleyway, but Ryan did a great job giving us details through a map and description, we had no problem finding it. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, we felt safe being there. We fit the five of us pretty comfortably, and they let us use their towels to take to Barton Springs! "
1613733,39133742,2015-07-20,38701538,Daniel,Ryan's place and hospitality were spectacular. I never had the opportunity to meet him but the welcome and love was felt with how he rolled out the red carpet for me and my youth ministry team. We loved our stay. The home was incredibly warm and a stone throw for Austin's incredible downtown. You will love your stay here!
1613733,39719024,2015-07-25,39173779,Fernando,"My relatives & I, really enjoyed our stay at Ryan's Blue House!  The listing description of this place was just as mentioned on Airbnb's site. Close from Downtown Area & Highway. Many restaurants & bars at a short distance. His place was so cozy that made us feel at home in two seconds. Really clean & modern. I do want to thank Ryan (Owner) & Loni (Assistant) for responding on a last minute inquiry. I was getting desperate after not getting any respond from about 4 other Airbnb owners. Thanks for saving my life, the quick response & the cold beer in the fridge. (We needed so bad). This was my first experience with Airbnb and I love the easy, fast & smooth process of sharing a house to others. I'm done with hotels!!!"
1613733,40044210,2015-07-27,24678631,S. Miles,"Great place to stay. Clean, close to the city, easy to work with."
1613733,41029048,2015-08-03,36816422,Robie,"We're ex Austinites so we were adamant about staying in a really cool house so it felt like we were coming back home vs. just visiting. We scoured airbnb for days until we found Ryan's home. If you want beds that are likely made of clouds from heaven, a cozy little cove that envelops you as you fall asleep because it's made of books for days, and just the coolest house on the block (literally, it's so fresh inside) then this place is IT. We felt so comfy and way too cool coming home to this pad at the end of the day. Thanks again Ryan!!"
1613733,42049407,2015-08-10,16326591,Andrew,We really enjoyed our stay at Ryan's house in Austin. A+. 
1613733,43199309,2015-08-17,40805585,Beatriz,"The home was unique, cozy, and beautiful. It was modern with interesting artwork around the house. My favorite part (And my boyfriends) was the library and books laying around the house! Their assistant made the stay seamless, providing us with most information necessary, and helped with any question I had. Only unexpected thing I could say is that some of the furniture was missing that was pictured (the dining table outside) and I didn't expect to have to park in an alleyway and leave my car out there...but otherwise it was a nice stay. Thanks for inviting my family into your home! Was a good first Airbnb experience! :)"
1613733,45226956,2015-08-31,14614456,Zachary,"Ryan's place was cool and great for our group's needs. Everything was immaculate, and we really enjoyed the layout of the space. "
1613733,46356270,2015-09-09,18809887,Chris,Super easy and very nice place . Everything was clean and set up for us 
1613733,48000835,2015-09-22,11298420,Arvind,"The place was great.  It was well equipped, comfortable, with 2 bathrooms in addition to the 2 BR, and conveniently located.  If it wasn't for the 97 degree heat, we could have easily walked to most places that we wanted to see.  Everything was as promised.  "
1613733,48815041,2015-09-28,41165152,Arturo,"First off let me say that this place was awesome! The four of us that stayed there did not want to leave, and we only stayed 2 nights. The location may seem a bit sketchy with it being a house behind the house, and you enter from the alley, but once you walk in the door your gonna be sold. Everything is set up perfectly. The book bed rooms is super cool with all the books. And the Master up stairs has a killer bath room. Ohh one more thing, I don't know what station the speaker is set up on, but it's the perfect chill music to get the night started, just press play. "
1613733,49761010,2015-10-06,32758164,Cris,"The house was just as described and it exceeded all our expectations! It was in a perfect location for us as our main purpose for this trip was for ACL, and it was a quick and cheap uber ride away. The house was in great shape and very clean. It had everything we needed. I highly recommend it and would definitely use it again!"
1613733,51468286,2015-10-20,41268096,Ryan,"Very nice place, very comfortable. Four of us stayed and had a great time!"
9013405,52380650,2015-10-28,45878455,Shane,"Great room in a cozy neighbourhood, with easy and cheap public transport right outside. Hosts were a lot of fun as well!"
2431427,10909166,2014-03-12,12478903,Trey,"Adam was a great host through the experience!  Very communicative out of the gate and left great instructions for the group that stayed in his home.  I booked the rental for a group from my business to be present at SXSW which required quite a bit of coordination as I had folks coming in from all over the country.  The home was clean, organized, and just what we needed!

Everything was as smooth as silk and if I'm ever in Austin I'll be in touch with Adam again.

Thanks again!!!!"
2431427,11025368,2014-03-17,2008802,Adrian,"We stayed at Adam's for SxSW music 2014 and the house was ideal for our needs. It was everything we could have asked for, in a great location, and just as described in the listing. Adam was a very helpful host and we'll definitely look to be staying with him again."
2431427,28069335,2015-03-17,24733583,Yvonne,"Ashley and Adams home was beautiful! Great location! Ashley and Adam were great hosts, both very friendly and helpful. They provided information about how to get to their place and while there, made sure everything was going well and answered any questions. A very enjoyable stay!"
2431427,28304876,2015-03-22,26211538,Erin,"Adam and Ashley were amazing to work with, and went over the top to make our experience a memorable one. Their house is beyond cool, and you can tell they put so much warmth and good energy into the space. The location was perfectly located, and allowed for us to walk most place with the addition of some delicious food trucks all within a block. Adam and Ashley were extremely responsive with questions prior to and during our visit. I would highly recommend this space to anyone wanting an awesome experience in Austin. I'm looking forward to returning and I will definitely reach out Adam and Ashley in requesting another welcomed stay at the Bird's Nest. Thanks again! ;)

Thanks. "
5229839,26640664,2015-02-16,3230573,Mr Monk,"The people were friendly, positive, and down to earth. Everyone was welcoming, and didn't make me feel intrusive or a bother at all! He was super helpful with my vacationing experience, including travel and directions. The room was private and clean. I had a great time, and expect I might stay at Dustin's again whenever I'm in Austin!"
5229839,27118502,2015-02-25,8050082,Brittany,"Great location, great hosts -- thanks!! Would definitely stay again. "
5229839,27478465,2015-03-05,8160373,Stacey,"We didn't meet Dustin, but his roommates were all super friendly, and their house is in the most ideal location for exploring East Austin. Check in and out was a breeze & the room was really comfortable."
5229839,28166985,2015-03-19,45406,Altay,"Dustin's place was awesome.  He and his housemates were awesome, too... all very nice and interesting people (musicians, etc).  It was cool to see the Compost Pedallers bins -- that's Dustin's bicycle-compost-delivery business -- all over the city, too!

The location is perfect.  Very close to all the cool stuff on East 6th, and a short walk from all the less-cool stuff on Dirty 6th.  :)

Also, protip: if you like BBQ, go to Micklethwait Craft Meats, just around the corner from Dustin's.  Best BBQ I had in Austin.  "
5229839,28622421,2015-03-27,28289791,Stephanie,"I would definitely stay here again. I felt relaxed and comfortable. Dustin and his house mates were friendly and laid back, and the location worked out well for me. It was close to everything I needed - food, yoga, bus stop - but far enough from downtown to feel quiet.  Really liked this part of Austin. The only thing to be aware of was that there were a lot of people coming and going from the house at night,  so might not be the best match for someone looking for total quiet."
5229839,28819473,2015-03-30,17127467,Andrea,"I did not meet Dustin, but we did meet his room mates. Alex was a great co-host, and was able to provide recommendations for food, bars, and even transportation. The house was in a great part of town in the East End. There were many nearby markets, restaurants, and food trucks that were easy to run to if we needed something quick. B-cycle (a bike share program) was also just up the street. All this to say -- great location, great people, and I would definitely stay again. "
5229839,29510709,2015-04-08,4120523,Romain,"Great house, great people. Everyone in there has a cool story. If you wanna do more than just visit Austin, but try to understand it a little better, this is the place to crash. "
5229839,29849546,2015-04-13,29295186,Stan,"The first thing I want to say is, I rate Dustin's place very highly. It's eminently affordable, near several neat places to eat, and is within easy walking distance of the north end of downtown -- the area around the Sheraton, UT, and state capitol.

That said, you should know what you're getting into. The house has four people living in it, all 20- or 30-somethings and extremely casual. That shows in the house. A Martha Stewart operation this is not. It's cluttered, messy, and not as clean as your mother would probably keep it.

The room devoted to AirBnB guests belongs to a house member who's away temporarily, and his stuff is still there. There were two bikes in the room, several backpacks hanging off the door, and the closet & drawers were all full. So, be prepared to live out of your suitcase or backpack while there. 

The bathroom is shared and, when I was there, could have benefited from a good cleaning. Used towels hanging off the racks, a little soap scum in the sink, and so on. Not hopeless or totally gross, just kinda overdue for a cleaning like all our houses get sometimes. But definitely not like you get when you check into a motel or hotel.

One of the house members is actually an amazingly cute pup named Raea. Amazingly cute, but not fully housebroken. So don't leave your door open.

But, again, I Iiked Dustin's, based on price and location. I'm being realistic about what it's like to stay there.

Also, I should say, the folks in the house are absolutely great. Always willing to talk and remarkably free of cohort barriers. I'm old enough to be grandpa to most of these folks, probably, but I never felt like I was in an old-guy box. Sure, nobody pretended I was in the same age group as them, but neither did the generational difference ever feel like an impediment to communication. 

And one huge plus: I was having a hella tough time finding a cheap ride back to the airport via cab or Uber. One of the housefolk suggested I try Lyft. I downloaded the app and got a Lyft ride for zero cost (because it was my first Lyft ride) except for the $4 tip I gave the driver! Take that, cab oligopoly and Uber!

In sum: All good. I'd stay there again."
5229839,30631145,2015-04-25,1414150,Maite,"Great people live here, always felt welcome and the location is perfect."
5229839,30787121,2015-04-27,1524393,Patrick,"I had a really good stay at Dustin's place.  His roommate greeted me when I arrived, and Dustin had sent detailed instructions about how to get in (and check out), and for connecting to wifi, etc.  I wasn't around the place much, but it was definitely comfortable.  And I slept in 'til about 1:30pm the first day (heavy jetlag from Asia).
This place is clean, not ""princess-clean.""  It felt slightly like being back in college -- big house, several roommates, common areas, guitar amps, dogs, deck.  But, as I said, much cleaner than that.  Maybe a post-grad feel.  They seemed to be out most of the day, but very friendly when we bumped into each other.  
The location was why I picked it (and the value), and I wasn't disappointed.  Quickie Pickie at the corner.  Lots of little restaurants with great food options.  Not too far of a walk to the Capitol building, and then you're downtown.  Very easy to get down to 6th St.  "
3851785,33200284,2015-05-25,33860093,Thomas P.,Julie provided my company and I a clean and very comfortable place to stay for a couple nights. She left the place as described and allowed us to enjoy our time in Austin without the hassle of the many things associated with travel. I would highly recommend the stay if you want to be close to downtown but yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet of this beautiful city!
1654316,8785424,2013-11-18,5741816,Shelby,"Julia's home was the perfect stay! The house is in a great location, close to everything and in a nice little neighborhood. The house itself is a gem, and Julia has it well protected and stocked. She left us breakfast and coffee for the morning, shampoo and conditioner and even some wine for the evening! She also had great recommendations for local  food , bars and shopping. I would love to stay in this house again when we come back to visit Austin, both couples really enjoyed staying here.  "
1654316,10899570,2014-03-12,547357,Megan,"The house was nice, quaint, and was a good refuge from the madness downtown for SXSW.  It was a bit farther away from shops and restaurants than I had expected, but the walk was always nice.  Julia was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed including leaving us a care package of chocolate, wine, and coffee.  So nice!  We had fun watching shows on the Apple TV and projector and I really enjoyed drinking my morning coffee out on her front porch."
1654316,10997837,2014-03-17,344673,Kristin,"I had an amazing experience at Julia's home!  I can't recommend it enough!

The house is spacious, well decorated, and super comfortable.  There are beautiful outdoor areas for lounging in the sunshine.  The house has wireless internet, Apple TV, a laundry machine, and a well stocked kitchen.  

The house is within easy walking (or stumbling) distance of East Austin's numerous bars, restaurants, food carts, and shops.  It is also possible to walk to Rainey Street, the Warehouse District, and Downtown.  The neighbors were very friendly and the area seems incredibly safe.      

Julia was a gracious and giving host.  Julia provided us with coffee, tea, breakfast supplies, and even local organic produce!  Julia was very flexible about check in and check out times.  Julia was available by text and email for all questions.

I look forward to visiting again in the near future. Thank you!!

1654316,28158175,2015-03-19,8617458,Anthony D,"Julia was a great communicator leading up to our stay and met us there to give us a tour before we settled in. Aside from the usual household necessities, she left some snacks and beverages for us, and gave us a list of recommended places nearby for dining. The house itself is adorable and comfortable. We squeezed four people in and other than having to take turns showering, it was the perfect size. We'd stay again!"
1654316,28375605,2015-03-23,344673,Kristin,"Julia's house is my favorite property on airbnb.  The house is centrally located, artistically decorated, and super comfortable.  The back yard is serene and perfect for sunning. The well stocked kitchen is perfect for any culinary endeavor.  The Apple TV and washing machine are an added bonus!!

Julia is a wonderful host!  She makes you feel welcome in her space.  Julia left an array of farmer's market vegetables and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy.  She is easy to get in touch with and eager to help.  

I have stayed at Julia's home on two occasions.  I am looking forward to visiting again.  

Thank you Julia!    "

5162885,47807080,2015-09-21,7523382,Jessie,"Justin was a very accommodating host. He made sure we had all the info we needed prior to arrival, and was very responsive during our stay. The apartment was even cooler than we expected, with a very urban modern feel, amazing views and a great balcony. It's very close to the Whole Foods and provides easy access to restaurants and nightlife.
"
8502,26868,2010-02-19,78239,T.J.,"The place was nice, it was like a disco in the shower, and they had real nice towels, fresh flowers, and it was clean.  With that being said, the door didn't lock.  We didn't have any problems, but being from out of town, it would of been nice to lock the door.  We would totally stay there again, once the door is fixed.
Mad love,  T."
8502,32924,2010-04-03,82430,Naida,"This was a great usable space with everything we needed.  Karen was very sweet in providing flowers, pastries, wine and coffee.

This is a great value :-) Thanks!"
8502,49298,2010-06-02,131929,Dasha,"Great place in a central location with good accessibility to downtown Austin. It had everything I needed, was very spacious and Karen was very helpful.

Great value for a long term stay."

8502,121651,2010-10-18,248738,Kenan,Karen is a gracious host and very welcoming.  Both the location and the space were perfect for my needs - close enough to downtown and the University yet not right the thick of things.
8502,517952,2011-09-10,927570,Kelly,"This was a great place to stay!  The place is clean and has everything you'd need for a short or longer-term stay.  It's in a good location in a nice neighborhood, close to I-35 and downtown.  Karen was very welcoming and friendly."
8502,753996,2011-11-29,1156192,Nordlicht,We stayed at this well-equipped studio three weeks and had a pleasant stay. Karen was very nice and went out of her way to be helpful. The studio is especially enjoyable when the weather is nice because then you can enjoy the huge wild garden right in front of it. A potentually difficult point is that you can't fully control the heating/aircon by yourself because this is done by the renters upstairs. 
8502,1031002,2012-03-22,1404406,Jess,"We stayed in Karen's studio during SXSW - it was close enough to get a bus to downtown and a quick/cheap cab home. The place itself was cute and well equipped, and Karen was lovely to deal with. Especially liked the disco shower! Would happily stay there again."

8502,1669198,2012-07-09,2686157,Eli,Karen was great! She set us up wonderfully to make us feel at home in her place. The place itself was nice and central to some of the Austin highlights. I would stay here again!
8502,1756976,2012-07-20,2808422,Hogan,Karen is a great host. The place is a basement apartment with laundry access and it is very nice and quiet. Perfect location on the south side of Austin but close to downtown. I stayed almost a week while lookng for a permanent place to live in Austin and Karen was very accomodating. 
8502,3822557,2013-03-18,5229292,Joel,"Karen was very accomodating and let us check-in early during sxsw.  not far from downtown, can stay on the feeder the whole way avoiding highway traffic, and the space is real cozy with plenty of privacy.  buses not far away on Oltorf and Woodland can get you where you need to go, but note that during sxsw these may not be in service.  great experience overall and very helpful/gracious host, thanks Karen."
8502,4416392,2013-05-04,5423292,Floyd,"Karen is a great host and stays in great contact with you and gives great advice on your stay in Austin.

8502,7329188,2013-09-16,6273163,Milica,"When I needed a place to stay in Austin close to my daughter who had her first child, this was very close and convenient. It is quiet for resting and good for relaxing, yet close to all the local hot spots and venues. I had a rental, but the bus stop is near, and car2go can be parked in front.  Karen was pleasant and accommodating, I would stay again, and wish I could have stayed longer.  "
8502,11436659,2014-04-02,3036187,Nadine,"Loved staying here. It's a nice, clean, private place for anyone who wants to be close to the downtown area, but still have some peace and quiet. "
8502,11605338,2014-04-08,4786001,Victor,"Photos do not do this place justice! We stayed here for 4 nights in Austin and the location was perfect! Close to everything if you have a car! 

Karen is super nice and accommodating and her place wqs clean and cosy. Much bigger than the photos show!

We highly recommend it and will definitely stay here again if we are ever in Austin again"
8502,15460518,2014-07-09,16683106,Shay,"We loved staying at this studio. It was even more spacious than I expected, very  clean, and stayed perfectly cool even in the summer heat. It was easy to hop onto the highway and get to downtown in about five minutes, but it felt quiet and relaxing when we needed to wind down after a day out. Karen was so helpful and I'd definitely stay here again in the future. "
8502,17216966,2014-08-09,16554441,Leah,"We stayed at the studio for a month while we looked at housing in Austin and we're happy that we did. The studio is located very close to SoCo and Downtown, especially if you have a car. There's usually an ample amount of Car2Gos within walking distance as well. Bus stops are also well within walking distance.

The studio itself is well-equipped with just about everything you could need during a short term stay. It's clean and in a quiet area. Although you'll be below the upstairs tenants, we had absolutely no problems with them during our month there. In fact, when we had to have some things mailed to us, they were great about getting them to us, which we really appreciated.

Karen was a nice host. She made sure we had everything we needed and was easy to get into contact with. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a more smooth experience."
8502,20257714,2014-09-26,21405973,Ben,Had a week stay in Austin for Fantastic Fest and couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Karen was lovely and informative. The place is indeed MUCH bigger and more charming than the pictures make it seem. Very quiet and safe area. Would definitely stay here again.  
8502,21962784,2014-10-27,21613190,Jillian,"My boyfriend and I stayed during a music and film festival. While Karen was not in town during our trip, she made herself always available to us if we ever needed anything. The studio is very close to everything that we needed. It’s a short cab ride to downtown and there even is a bus stop less than a 5 minute walk away. As others have said, the space is much larger than pictured and it was a great place for us to stay. We felt safe and comfortable in the neighborhood and we always had a good nights rest. I was very satisfied with our trip. Thank you!"
8502,25978713,2015-01-31,26097881,Kim,I enjoyed staying at this apartment.  It was very cozy.  Karen was very helpful and sweet.  The studio is a lot bigger in reality.
8502,26856063,2015-02-21,17271900,Alexandra,"The apartment was clean, had all the furniture/cookware needed, and a huge backyard. Parking and commuting are easy from the location. The host is very friendly and leaves contact information readily available. My parents were thrilled with their stay and so glad they didn't go for a hotel. There were also snacks for guests, recycling, menus, and other information left out. Many restaurants and cafes are walkable. The neighborhood is safe and close to downtown. You really can't get a better deal or experience, highly recommended."
8502,28123622,2015-03-18,389663,Iskander,"I had a very pleasant stay at the studio. It has a nice atmosphere, is spacious including the direct connection and view to the garden, although a bit dark. The pictures in the listing does not give a good impression, it is much better! 
The apartment was clean and has all you need for a comfortable stay,  I was there 6 days for SXSW. 
Karen was there for a warm welcome and gave some helpful tips for getting around in the neighbourhood.
I definitely would recommend this place for a Austin experience."
8502,28518469,2015-03-25,6355599,Adam,"The Woodland Studio was, for the most part, an excellent experience. The location was idle, minutes away from downtown and South Congress. It was right by a bunch of great restaurants and shops. Some nights we were able to walk from downtown all the way home, though it was a bit of a trek. Karen was very helpful and left great detailed instructions for the studio. It was full of any amenities that you may need, clean, extremely well organized, and a lot more spacious then the photos led on.

The only minus to the place was the upstairs residents. During the afternoon hours they can get a little noisy. Just be aware that through out your stay you will hear them from time to time.

Besides that it was private, located in a beautiful safe neighborhood and had an idle location, I would recommend it."
8502,31790517,2015-05-10,18841553,Maxime,"I had a very good stay in Karen's studio!!! The studio is in Karen's house but totally independant, with his own path and entrance door ! It's like your own house. It's clean and the location is perfect, close to Downtown and there is a bus stop on Oltorf St (5mns by wall) ! Peaceful studio highly recommanded !! Thank you. 
Maxime "
8502,32477293,2015-05-18,29335085,Don,"Karen was very quick to respond to my inquiries.  If you are wanting to be close to the downtown area, the airport, Circuit of the Americas, then this is a great location.  You are a quick drive from the interstate, yet in a nice quiet neighborhood.  The property has it's own entrance so as not to disturb.  Everything was as described.  "
8502,33006624,2015-05-24,32271642,Emma,"We unintentionally arrived before the studio was ready and Karen met up with us so we could drop off our luggage. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly, and made us feel right at home. The studio is much nicer and bigger in person, and it's very clean. Almost everything you would think to need is there, from toiletries to kitchen stuff. Karen also left us some yummy cookies and chocolates, which was a really nice touch.

The view from the studio is really nice. The yard is kinda woodsy and makes you feel like you have a lot of privacy. It's really close to bus transportation and the airport, and the upstairs tenants are quiet and helpful.

This listing says no smoking allowed but we made the assumption that we were allowed to smoke outside. We found out after the first or second night that it was a no smoking *property*. No big deal, we just went for walks, just good to know if you're a smoker. Overall, we had a really nice time and Karen was an awesome host.
"
8502,36103840,2015-06-25,22818272,Scott,"Cozy, cool, clean, and fun space. Very tucked away. Slept late every day because it stays nice and dark. Thanks again! "
8502,48049637,2015-09-22,40646077,Kyla,Karen was very kind and gave suggestions for things around town and how to most easily get around. The basement studio is cozy and has everything you need!
8502,49927297,2015-10-07,6971437,Tessa,"We had a good experience here, the place was much bigger than what we expected and everything we could need was provided (toiletries, kitchen supplies, travel magazines, snacks). It's about a 30+ minute bus ride to downtown from here including a 8 minute walk to the bus stop. It worked, but taking the bus got old and we wished we were a little closer to downtown. There is a really good coffee shop, Cafe Creme, nearby that we walked to everyday. 

There is a ""common area"" in this studio that we found as a surprise - there are stairs behind a wall that leads to an area that leads to a laundry room and the other people who live in the house walk through this area to do laundry. Technically they had full access to our room if they came downstairs but they assured us that they would never bother us, and they didn't. "
2446581,22155845,2014-10-31,1240801,Beth,"Lisa was a great host, always making sure we had what we needed while on a big work trip. She even helped us plan when we needed to extend our trip another few days. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice, comfortable place to relax in Austin or commute into downtown."
2446581,28074987,2015-03-17,6494117,Regis,"Thank you, Lisa for sharing your home with our business team. From start to finish, booking the house was a breeze and our team loved the comfort of your home and proximity to downtown. We would definitely stay again! "
2446581,28386643,2015-03-23,26257924,Matthew,"The house was amazing and the pictures do not do it justice, the location was great for SXSW and I've nothing bad to say about the experience. We are hoping to do it again next year. "
2446581,30763521,2015-04-27,2755243,Lance,Lisa's home was amazing and she was extremely accommodating! We were visiting from out of town and the location in South Congress was perfect for everything we wanted to do. I would definitely recommend Lisa's home and Lisa as a hostess!
2446581,31458195,2015-05-05,22348257,Mark,Lisa is the best host in the world. Anything you need she will take care of in advance. This place is a must book for any occasion in Austin. Unique property that is great for a group of guys or girls. We had 15 guys and the house fit us all. Do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. 
2446581,32526552,2015-05-19,26016327,Britt,Great experience for our bachelorette party! Beautiful home!
2446581,34426104,2015-06-08,31173947,Aron,"Lisa was an incredible host for us in Austin. The house is beautiful and able to accommodate a large group of people. The backyard is nice with plenty of chairs and a nifty putting green. And the location is fantastic, right in the heart of SoCo with easy access to other parts of Austin and the airport. Lisa was very responsive when we had questions or when things came up. Thanks for everything!"
2446581,35850321,2015-06-22,13532893,Salem,Lisa was a great host and the house was perfect for me and my friends. The house slept 14 people perfectly and the property is better in person than the pictures.
2446581,36584180,2015-06-29,700558,Kate,"House was beautiful, MANY beds and living spaces great for hanging out. Long list of rules to follow. "
2446581,37277475,2015-07-05,35147278,Phillip,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2446581,37347162,2015-07-06,35062829,Yvette,"Upon arrival night, owners did check in with us to make sure we were fine and provided suggestions on events and things to do. We were fine when we first checked in, and everything looked like the pictures, great hospitality from owners on arrival. However I cannot say the same about the rest of our stay.
"
2446581,37884830,2015-07-11,5013499,Jessica,"Lisa was responsive and helpful with all of my questions prior to the stay, as well as throughout the stay. The location was fantastic, and the place was just wonderful for our office retreat. We would love to stay here again in the future. Great for a larger group that needs space. Didn't get to use the bikes offered, but would love to next time!"
2446581,39948033,2015-07-27,25775452,Josh,Lisa was extremely responsive and accommodating. The house was beautiful and even spacious for our 10 person group. We loved the back patio for putting and lawn games. The location was very central with easy access to downtown and also to the highway. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. 
2446581,40917631,2015-08-03,29421837,Ruba,"Lisa made our stay inviting and comfortable with her attention to detail, open communication, and attentiveness! Her home was beautifully furnished, with a lot of space for our family visit. We even had plenty of towels, basic toiletries, WiFi, extra blankets/pillows, a BBQ grill, bikes, plenty of parking, and more. We had a lovely stay that exceeded our expectations! We appreciate having such a positive experience with Lisa and her South Congress home! Great location too. We would definitely come back."
2446581,41942569,2015-08-10,12835166,Brennan,"She was great, made us feel very welcome and the place was awesome. "
2446581,44112278,2015-08-24,5849210,Aaron,I hosted my bachelor party here and the place was comfortable for all 13 guests. Lisa was a fantastic host and answered all inquiries in a timely fashion. Overall we had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend this home to anyone.
2446581,45076324,2015-08-31,15389464,Matt,"The property was exactly what out group of 8 was looking for. Plenty of bed space, a great outside area to relax, and a t have to wait at their airport for their long flights. I would definitely recommend this property to groups that are looking for a place to relax while they enjoy Austin."
2446581,45938059,2015-09-07,35089581,Matthew,The house was absolutely fantastic for the bachelor party I organized for my brother.  Lisa went out of her way to make us feel welcome in her home and she communicated instantly when I had questions.  A truly excellent experience and made for a great long weekend in Austin.  Thanks!
2446581,46885948,2015-09-14,35656458,Omar,"I stayed with a group of 8 guys here for a weekend in September- couldn't of been a better place and host. Enough sleeping space for everyone, big kitchen, TVs everywhere, and awesome outdoor space including putting green and outdoor shower. We used Lyft to get around town and didn't have a ride that was more than $10. Easy access to Rainy St, SoCo, and 6th St. Lisa was easy to communicate with leading up to our trip and made the process easy. I'd recommend this to any group and well worth it!"
2446581,47626728,2015-09-21,2809596,Anni,"Beautiful home, great location.   Lisa was very accessible and left clear instructions about everything.   The house is great for a crowd and was very thoughtfully laid out as a short term rental.   The outdoor shower was a real hit with our gang as was the sauna.   I felt like we were at a resort."
2446581,48683849,2015-09-28,35570327,Bryan,"Great house for a large group. I visited with some friends for the UT game.

House has numerous beds and plenty of room.  Common area between the main house and bungalow is a perfect place to hangout. Loved the outside shower. 

Host was very responsive to texts and emails. "
2446581,49763806,2015-10-06,11557064,Jack,"Lisa was great, the house was perfect. All 12 of us fit comfortably and had a really fun weekend."
2446581,50615935,2015-10-13,15604897,Silvia,"This is a great house for a big group! It's in a very convenient location and the the property is beautiful! I had 14 people staying here and we each had a bed to sleep comfortably! The kitchen had everything you would need to make a nice meal and more! 
Lisa was a great host, we interacted through text and she was very helpful."
2446581,52041024,2015-10-26,19906614,Adam,"Lisa is a great host, always quick to reply to any communication. The house comfortably accomodated our group (4 couples) and had room for more without any problem. Lovely well equiped home in a great location, we would certainly come back! Thanks!!"
2446581,52816989,2015-11-02,33776864,Patricia,"Our group had a wonderful time at Lisa's home! The house was beautiful and just what we needed for the Bachelorette party. Some highlights were drinking coffee in their AWESOME backyard, easy access to SoCo and downtown, and an easy check-in / check-out process. Thanks Lisa! We'll be back!"
228420,940315,2012-02-21,1113465,Wade,"Melissa was absolutely an amazing host.  She went way out of her way to ensure my trip was full and exciting. She really knows a lot about the city, restaurants, events, bars, etc... The room provided was very comfortable with everything you need.  The extra bathroom was extra clean and had an amazing shower head.  In addition, Melissa has a wonderful house guest, her dog who is super sweet and friendly.  Highly Recommend! "
228420,1012956,2012-03-18,284459,Julien,"Melissa was a great host, she went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable, her dog was really friendly and sweet, and she is incredibly knowledgeable about things to do and places around Austin.  If you're in town for SXSW she is a pro and will be able to help you out immensely!"
228420,1075481,2012-04-02,2000723,Amy,"this was my first airbnb experience and i was a bit unsure of how things worked.  melissa was a fantastic hostess and the room was great!  the bed is very comfortable and the pillows....ohhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!   the closet is roomy and everything i needed was available (ironing board, iron, starch, coffee, etc!) the towels were heavenly!!!  i love melissa's dog!!!!  such a sweetie; greeted me every night and allowed me to pet and love on her!  i would definitely stay here again!!"
228420,1206406,2012-04-30,2206107,Chris,"We are from Austin but we were visting friends in Kyle and wanted a room for the night in south Austin so we did not have to drive far AND to be close to Downtown to enjoy the following day in DT. Melissa was very easy to work with and very personable. It was our first time using Airbnb and the entire process was easy. Thanks so much to Melissa for the very comfortable room, private bath and an overall nice experience. Oh and her dog is a real sweetheart."
228420,1588005,2012-06-29,2466251,Ana,"Melissa has been a fantastic host.  She is very friendly and easy to talk to.  Her home is clean and comfortable.  The room has great natural light during the day and is cool and quiet at night.  I had my own bathroom and unlimited access to the kitchen, washer/ dryer, and back patio. Scout, her adorable dog is very affectionate and loves belly rubs. The location is south but all areas of town can be easily accessed.  I always felt safe in the home and neighborhood. I highly recommend booking with Melissa if you need a great place to stay while visiting Austin!"
228420,2525965,2012-10-06,2972316,Rich,"Melissa is a great host. Clean, spacious, really a good room. Best dog in Austin. "
228420,2925579,2012-11-20,2133907,Dede,"Ms. Arnett has a comfortable and convenient rental.  It is close to the Austin Airport and has convenient access to the Circuit of the Americas and Austin nightlife.  From her house you can take side roads to COTA and avoid the toll roads, and traffic congestion on 812, especially if you park in lot ”P” by turn 1. We got to and from the track in about 20 minutes at a Formula 1 race!  The bed was a comfortable double and the rest of the house was clean.  I would certainly recommend this AirBNB to anyone attending special events at the track or downtown Austin.  There is plenty of shopping and eateries nearby on William Cannon.  If you want to travel a little further, the Salt Lick in Driftwood is 24 miles, the Oasis is 22 miles. Grey Rock Golf Club is 7miles, and they have a grill with tasty bar food.    "
228420,3129371,2012-12-21,2972316,Rich,"This is probably the best value in Austin for an AIRBNB. Melissa is the perfect host and the house is very clean--all the time. There is a real TV, no shared bath and comfy bed. Also a great dog to hang out with--I love Scout :-).
Thanks for a great experience."
228420,4275684,2013-04-23,3705860,Matthew,"My wife and I stayed for a long weekend and the experience was awesome.  Melissa is a fabulous host and her doggy, scout, is a real cutie.  So sweet.  The bedroom was clean as was the bathroom.  She gave us a compartment in her fridge.  The house is close to all the to do areas.  We had a car so can't comment on the public transportation.  All in all, a very successful visit to Austin in large part to Melissa and her hospitality.  Thanks!"
228420,4668317,2013-05-19,332167,Stephane,Melissa was great.  It was a pleasure staying at her place.  Everything went very smoothly.  Love her dog!  A good place to stay if you are in Austin.
228420,5391153,2013-06-27,7027273,Ced,The reservation was canceled 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
228420,6523691,2013-08-15,7838040,Bren,"Everything was just as Melissa and other airbnb guests before me described in their reviews. The room is super comfortable, lots of space and you have a private bathroom. Not to mention the house is in a great location! Melissa is a wonderful host. She goes above and beyond to make her guests feel welcomed and at home. She is also really easy to talk to and had a lot of great advice and suggestions. I want to thank her (and Scout!) for an amazing first airbnb experience!"
228420,7927127,2013-10-08,6240858,Lisa,Melissa is a great host and I had a really good time with her. The house is in a very nice area of Austin and the room is beautiful. And of course you have to get to know her dog Scout :) 
228420,8116295,2013-10-16,2545889,Jennifer,The house was perfect for my visit to Austin City Limits. Melissa was very easy to communicate with and her dog Scout was a sweetheart. I would stay with her when I return to Austin and would highly recommend others do the same.
228420,8545568,2013-11-04,9615237,Camille,"Melissa and Scout were simply wonderful during my stay.  Everything I needed was provided, including my own private bathroom, with blowdryer, shampoo, conditioner and towels.  Melissa was very accommodating of my scheudule and we really enjoyed our stay with her."
228420,8718770,2013-11-13,6198096,Ethan,Great host in a great location! I would definitely stay with Melissa again!
228420,8786685,2013-11-18,9351701,Neil,"Melissa was such a great host. There was never a time where any of our needs or wants were not met. House was perfect for us, very neat and clean. Location was great, you don't miss anything while traveling from here home to downtown. Soco is on the way and the 1st street food carts!! Scout (her dog) was a real delight. As dog lovers ourselves, she made us feel much more at home while on the road. Would not hesitate to recommend Melissa as both a friend or a host. She is very kind and so knowledgeable of the area. Can definitely give you great insight on what there is to see/do while in Austin. We would look to stay with her again if we find ourselves in Austin!!"
228420,10785640,2014-03-07,11849072,Ren,"I had an outstanding Airbnb experience at Melissa's place in S.Austin for a one week stay. 

Everything was perfect and as described. The room was well lit with a large window and a walk in closet and a small desk. It had a really comfortable bed and a private bathroom just outside. Melissa maintains a very high standard of clean/tidy in the room and the common areas. 

Starting from a super fast response time to my initial inquiry,  to making arrangements for a smooth checkin, to making a long list of amenities available... Melissa was an amazing host - very thoughtful, helpful and considerate. 

And if you like dogs (or really even if you don't) you are going to love Scout :-)

Melissa, thanks again for a great stay!"
228420,11822036,2014-04-15,14065446,Qian,"I had a great say in Mellisa's home. she is easy going , kind and helpful when I asked for local music venue. The room is clean and quite. "
228420,15361574,2014-07-07,17204941,Sharr,"We had a two-night stay at Melissa’s Independence Day weekend. Though we didn’t spend much time in her home, we certainly enjoyed the very nice bedding and Tempur-Pedic pillows each night. The room and bath were clean with plush towels and toiletries supplied. Melissa has given thoughtful consideration to what travelers need and has provided these. Scout was quiet and obedient during our stay. We did not solve the mystery of the missing bags of chips and apple provided for Airbnb guests, but we enjoyed the coffee provided in her kitchen."
228420,22262903,2014-11-02,719332,Mike + Nina,"Melissa made the rental experience very easy. She left a lockbox with the key so that we did not have to coordinate meeting up with her and she left clear instructions for everything. Plus, she is warm and welcoming and wants to make sure that you're well taken care of. The room is small but very tidy and on a quiet side street. The highlight of the stay was Scout, the dog, who is so sweet and gentle—my son didn't want to part with him!"
228420,28145081,2015-03-18,1445111,Patrick & Kristy,We were super comfortable in Melissa's house. Melissa is sweet and courteous and Scout is an amazing playmate. We'd be happy to stay with them again. Thanks! 
385526,1583122,2012-06-28,2232380,Tom,"I'm not sure what to say exactly. Matt's house was so huge and comfortable (he's renovated an old weatherboard, so the front half is old polished floorboards, the back all new), so well equipped (spacious kitchen, outside terrace, cable, killer air con, private bathrooms), and in such a good location, it almost defies reviewing. A stone's throw from the good lively part of south congress (and I mean that literally - you can see soco from the terrace), a stroll over to S First st, an easy bus ride downtown. Like, is this place too perfect? We actually ended up staying 3 weeks instead of the one we'd planned. Really, just gorgeous. And the animals... the big, beautiful, loving, playful mountain dog Stella, the small affectionate Crystal, the lovely little kitten with her black paws, and the curious yellow cat.
I guess all I can say is it was perfect, and a big part of our stay in Austin. Thanks Matt, hope our paths cross sometime in the future."
385526,1727238,2012-07-16,2761945,Justin,"When we booked this room, we were expecting to stay in the house, but it was full, so Matt offered us his garage apartment for the same price. The apartment was very clean and nice with shelf space and a kitchenette, and had a back alley exit, which we mostly used because it was practice to keep the back door of the house locked. Matt was a very professional and accommodating host, and was cordial when we spoke with him when we ran into him. "
385526,2756526,2012-10-29,319959,Brent,Very accommodating.  Helped with directions and suggestions for dining.  Will be back soon
385526,2844905,2012-11-09,2132677,Thomas,"Me and my girlfriend went to Austin for a week and stayed at Matt's place the entire time. We were driving from New Orleans and arrived late, but Matt was super accommodating, making sure we could get inside the house even at  3:00 in the morning, and towels were laid out and the bed was made. The house was beautiful, so spacious, with other visitors being super friendly. Most of the time it still feels like you have the place for yourself. Matt himself was super friendly. I enjoyed our talks, and he gave great recommendations for restaurants around the city. He knows his city well. Matt also has two lovely dogs, who turned into puddles of furry cuteness every time you pet them.  I'm not even that much of a dog person, but you just have to like them. Also, the location is perfect, because you're right there on SoCo and can even walk to most places, if you don't get sidetracked by all the great restaurants and stores. We had an amazing time and will definitely try to book Matt's place when we get to Austin again."
385526,2929477,2012-11-20,3994687,Jordi,"Perfecto. La habitación estaba justo a la entrada. Amplia y la cama muy cómoda. El lavabo con ducha a pocos metros. Para uso exclusivo. Me facilitó toallas. A mi no me importa dormir con luz pero si a alguien si, que le pregunte primero si puede poner cortinas. El barrio era muy tranquilo. Se puede dejar el coche en la calle. A pocos kms del centro de Austin y cerca del South Congress street lleno de bares y tiendas. El trato fue muy amable y cordial. Dispone de otra habitación. El que yo entrara y saliera a deshoras no fue problema para él. The warm and friendly atmosphere are the best."
385526,3109341,2012-12-17,15560,Ron,Matt is a terrific Airbnb host who runs a tight operation.   His hand-crafted historic home in Austin's SoCo neighborhood is charming and a fun place to stay with many other great guests coming and going.    I enjoyed my stay with Matt and getting to know him and his friends.   
385526,3386697,2013-01-21,4642874,Daniel,"The room was great and the owner Matt was easy to deal with and stress free. He has 2 cats and 2 dogs which are all super friendly, and yes they will all want to be loved and played with, you might even be lucky enough to have a cat or two sleeping on your bed, we did! The location of the house is also a big plus. 5-10 walk to shops cafes bars restaurants live music venues and downtown only 5 mins drive or 20 mins walk away. Overall great experience. Thanks Matt! "
385526,3601076,2013-02-22,1539262,Josh And Kate,Matt was a great host and his house was absolutely beautiful. The pictures doesn't do it justice. He also let us use his bikes and we took them all over town. Amazing location right off of Congress and right by all the SoCo restaurants and shops. We'd love to stay there again!
385526,4089785,2013-04-08,5676241,James,"If I could describe our stay with Matt in one word it would be Perfect.  The location was great, walking distance to great restaurants, music venues and the hospitality was spot on.  We would stay there again and I would recommend to our friends."
385526,4524544,2013-05-10,1624898,Sabra,"Matt's home on South Congress is perfectly located! It's right around the corner from Magnolia restaurant and a stone's throw from the boutiques, restaurants and food trucks in SoCo. I loved staying at Matt's! I met other visitors who were really interesting travelers, enjoyed a glass of wine with the host who is a world traveler and photographer. His house is built to be a B&B and I'd be back in a heartbeat! Do yourself a favor and stay here if you have the chance!"
385526,4824687,2013-05-27,6554115,Ramprasath,The place is in a great location with great restaurants and coffee shops just around the corner. Barton Spring Pool my favorite place in Austin was just like a mile or so away. The house as such is amazing and I loved what Matt has done with the kitchen. The host was very friendly and accomodative. I would love to return back during my next visit.
385526,4930661,2013-06-02,6632378,Yolanda,"I stayed with Matt because my mom was in the hospital. I had been staying at various hotels and had not been able to sleep. When I got there he was incredibly understanding and did everything to accommodate me. He has been the most gracious host. When I accidentally left some skirts in the dryer he meticulously placed them on my bed. After I asked him to. 
The first night I slept I got 12 hours of sleep! It had been a week and I was averaging 2-3 hours a night. 
He has allowed me to talk his ear off about my mom...he's a great conversationalist. Has been all over the world and is very talented but so modest. 
His dog and cats immediately warmed up to me. I felt right at home. I can't say enough good things about Matt and his hospitality. Needless to say I extended my stay. 

 I wish you the best with your pursuit in Haiti. This will not be my last stay with you my new friend. "
385526,8217996,2013-10-21,7555543,John,"House was perfect.  We had a comfortable bed, shower and sink in our room.  We felt right at home. Really cute outdoor patio and front porch that we enjoyed.  Matt was helpful and we love the location in South Congress.  Walked one block to bus stop and for a dollar rode straight up South Congress to Sixth Street.  No problems!  Left the car parked at the house.  Terrific restaurants, shops and coffee within walking distance of the house too.  Ran down to nearby running trails.  Couldn't ask for more."
385526,9521933,2014-01-01,6134325,Elizabeth,"Matt's home is incredibly located right off S. Congress in Austin, within easy walking distance to all the Soco action. The modern home has been fully renovated with large gourmet kitchen. My room was the front room with a shower and sink. The common area included the kitchen, patio and television room. Matt encouraged guests to use the kitchen and laundry room complete with supplies...so generous. I stayed during the month of December and had a fantastic time! The home also has two cats which are very social.  I highly recommend this Air BnB listing."
385526,9965147,2014-01-21,11258394,Paul,"A miscommunication left me in another house than the one I expected. It was not where I wanted to be. It felt sterile, too. The tub I had looked forward to did not heat up as hot as I wanted. I could hear the conversations of other people through the hollow core door echoing in the brand new suburban house. I felt lost in a spec house. 
But everything was clean.
I will try AirBnB again, but will aim first for whole apartment rental or go for private room with separate entrance in an actually used house."
385526,11004749,2014-03-17,11493721,Jerry,"Matt's house is ideally located just off of South Congress.  The house was immaculate and spacious and we could walk to local spots like Magnolia Cafe, Jo's Coffee, or Guero's.  There were two of us in a fairly small room, but it was clean and had the amenities we needed.  We had a great experience."
385526,16879399,2014-08-03,4250927,Karthik,Comfortable and centrally located house.
385526,17028588,2014-08-05,17444930,Iris,My colleague Emily stayed in the room and was very happy about the room and the house. Would definitely recommend it and Matt is a great host.
385526,17192359,2014-08-08,19309367,Quade,"My experience at this apartment was fantastic!  It is in a great location on a quiet street one block off SOCO - surrounded by restaurants, stores and more.  The house itself is very clean and beautifully decorated ... I would definitely stay there again.

I only met Matt briefly.  He seemed like a really nice guy and was very helpful in recommending interesting sites to see in Austin."
385526,18385212,2014-08-25,1406023,Baron,Matt was very accommodating for my visit to Austin.  My brief time in the room was comfortable and in a great location to SoCo shops and restaurants.  
385526,22538371,2014-11-09,22484722,Colin,"Clean and comfortable. No problems getting in or checking out and I had a nice comfy bed. There were no frills provided in my room. It would have been nice if some basic toiletries were provided and the bathrooms were stocked with more supplies, ie towels, toilet paper, shampoo, etc. Also, my room was freezing at night and there seemed to be no climate control in the house or at least in my room. Overall, it was a suitable place to crash for two days. "
385526,26032513,2015-02-01,20524467,Caitlin,"We were not able to meet Matt, but he was prompt in texting us back, and the house/room were clean, beautiful, and welcoming. As were the precious cats! Parking is also ample and convenient, the neighborhood is lovely, and we were within walking distance of some great attractions. It was also nice to have a key for our room to ensure privacy and security. My major complaint is that the bathroom advertised in the picture for our room (C) was not the one provided; we were assigned a ""closet toilet"" outside the room, and there was a shower with a clear shower curtain just right there in the corner of the bedroom. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but a) it certainly was not what was advertised on the page, and b) I was staying in the room with a friend, which made for awkward shower time. Otherwise, our stay was lovely, though the room was pretty stuffy when we arrived, despite it being cool in the rest of the house. Would probably stay in this house again next time, but maybe one with a shower in its own bathroom? :)"
385526,26569658,2015-02-15,26309260,Tony,"This place was great. My girlfriend and I stayed and we were a little hesitant at first staying somewhere that had other people also occupying it but it wasn't a problem at all. 

The room was very clean and VERY comfortable and the private shower was very convenient.

Location was perfect, we were a small 10min walk from major restaurants and shops. I would def stay here again.

ALSO THE CAT WAS AWESOME"
385526,41710355,2015-08-08,37364297,Ron,"Matt's place was great. Very convenient to the action on South Congress. Although we didn't use the kitchen or common space, it was quite nice. The room was great and the bed was comfortable. Access into the house and the directions from Matt were easy. I would definitely stay there again in the future."
385526,42984057,2015-08-16,41109355,Josh,"I never met my host. If it wasn't for the maid, I am not sure what I would have done. Matt failed to respond to my emails, texts and phone call. The maid let me in, showed me around, gave me a   key and contacted Matt for me. She realized the room I had booked was unavailable, so she gave me another room. Communication must not be Matt's strong point. I am sure he used Daddy's money to buy a house and from there try to manage a property."
385526,46086293,2015-09-07,29506954,Paula,"Everything was great!  We had a wonderful time.  Thank you so much! 
Randolph & Paula Bohnert"
385526,47851327,2015-09-21,43925531,Lady,"This was a beautiful property. I was a little concerned that he didn't respond to our messages on the Air BnB messenger but he was very receptive via text.There was a community fridge and coffee maker available for use.  I would definitely stay here again.
Word to the wise: If you aren't used to long wait times, beware Magnolia on Sunday morning.  
"
385526,50282584,2015-10-11,20557014,Umreen,"Matt was a great host, easy to contact and accomodating. The room was as described and within walking distance of Congress, close to shops and restaurants. Would stay here again!"
385526,51003579,2015-10-16,19979496,Pablo,"Although it was my first experience in a shared home bnb and my trip was very last minute, Matt was able to accommodate my stay and it was a great one. "
78584,1238036,2012-05-07,321333,Steven,"We had a great experience at the house. It's wonderfully upscale, comfortable, and well-located. Christina was a very generous host. Thanks so much!! "
78584,3580995,2013-02-19,3023008,Alan,"This is a great spot.  Convenient location, great kitchen, and an excellent backyard with a patio bar.  Couldn't have been better!"
78584,10873545,2014-03-11,1603594,Adrian,"What a wonderful home! Clean, comfortable, and recently designed and decorated. 

Perfect walking distance for those who want to be downtown but also close to all the cooler restaurants and bars in East Austin. 

Cristina was great. She called to check in on how we were enjoying and also offered up local spots to eat at. "
2386706,13087490,2014-05-19,13970623,Patsy,"This home was beautiful, spacious and couldn't have been more perfect for my family.  Our host/owner Heather went above and beyond to make sure everything went well and made sure that everything we would possibly need would be available for our stay. We were sure to know that Heather was available at a moments call if we needed her which was unnecessary since all went well.   This was my first experience with Airbnb and I can't stop talking about my experience.  I would highly recommend this to anyone needing a home away from home and of course I would highly recommend staying at this particular home "
2386706,14053002,2014-06-10,5284310,Brie,"Our stay with heather was one of the best with Airbnb! Her place is divine, quite the castle! 3 levels, 4 large bedrooms and plants of space so you font even know there are 6 other people in the house. Heather has unique Austin hospitality and was an absolute pleasure to meet. This is 5 star luxury at its best!"
2386706,16471558,2014-07-28,10879751,Virginia,"I had a perfect experience with this bnb! The house is very spacious and beautiful. We had 12 people stay there comfortably. My group had a fun time with the pool table and roof top over looking Austin. The location could not have been better! We zipped down South Congress and were in the midst of all the downtown night life in minutes. We also had access to highways nearby. We were on the river floating in about 40 minutes. Heather was a great hostess. She was open and flexible with arrival and departure times. She texted the first day to check on us, and open the lines of communication if we needed anything. She was very responsive with emails prior to our visit as well. This house was very clean and comfortable with lots of nice (website hidden): bottle of wine, toothbrushes and tolietries. I would go back to this bnb in a heartbeat. It really was the foundation for a memorable trip to Austin!"
2386706,16898239,2014-08-04,7364509,Aaron,Heather was so great to work with. She met our group at the home when we arrived and explained where everything could be found and had everything we needed. She was very friendly and easy to work with as a host. The house was awesome! I really don't think the pictures do it justice or show just how big it is. We have 10 people and we all fit comfortably in the house. I would recommend staying here for any large groups looking for a great spot in Austin. She was even kind enough to recommend restaurants and places to go out!
2386706,18808247,2014-09-01,18282130,Christine,"This house was PERFECT for our large group (13 guests) over the long weekend. Normally I expect to be a little uncomfortable staying in a space with so many people, but EVERYONE had space to sleep, hang out, and move around, and we never once felt crowded even with so many people.  Heather was so generous in leaving us snacks and coffee, extra towels and sheets, and other small amenities for our convenience. She gave us a tour of the house right when we checked in so we knew where everything was.  The rooms are large and spacious, the master bathroom has a HUGE and very comfortable shower. We all felt so comfortable and at home.  Additionally, the location of the house is perfect - right off of S. Congress and close to many activities, food trucks, attractions.  If we come back to Austin with a large group again, we definitely plan to book this house with Heather again!"
2386706,20782657,2014-10-05,21682283,Kelly,"From the beginning of booking with Heather through Airbnb to the end of our AMAZING stay was carefree, and extremely convenient. Heather was very friendly and communicated well to ensure that we were able to check in and leave easily. The house had the most fun layout and the 12 of us that stayed there all slept very comfortably. We came in town for a company tailgate for UT and despite UT losing, our stay could not have been better. Thank you so much for sharing our home and we will definitely be booking again!!! "
2386706,21214979,2014-10-13,7073098,Katherine,"My stay at this house was absolutely perfect. Everything was as listed in the description. Photos do not do this beautiful house justice! It was very spacious and there was plenty of space for our 11 guests to sleep. The house is located in a great area, very close to a lot of restaurants, grocery stores and easily accessible from the highway. I would highly recommend this space for anyone looking to accommodate a big group! All of our guests raved about how nice and spacious the house was. Heather was a superb host, very easy to communicate with and super friendly! Thanks for a lovely stay. "
2386706,21709297,2014-10-22,19894333,Jarrod,"Our stay at the house was outstanding. The house itself is massive, with plenty of space to accommodate our group of 7 and could easily fit more. Everything we needed was in the house and provided by Heather- who was an extremely friendly and helpful host. The location right next to the highway is great, with grocery stores just down the road. For anyone looking to stay in Austin, I would recommend this spacious and wonderful home. "
2386706,22065658,2014-10-29,21066477,Cindy,"Overall great experience.  Fit our needs (10 people) perfectly.  Teens loved the ""man cave"". Plenty of fridge access for the inevitable Austin leftovers.  Location easy access for airport and downtown dining/events."
2386706,22525289,2014-11-09,21316283,Jeff,"Went to Austin with some friends from college for a weekend of football and barbeque.  This house was perfect.  Plenty of room and central location to get to downtown and South Congress.  Heather provided a list with suggestions for restaurants, local attractions, etc.  Thanks for the excellent accommodations and recommendations!"
2386706,23614191,2014-12-06,24187678,Jessie,"Super convenient location. Listing was exactly as advertised - spacious, clean, house rules clearly posted. Our large group had plenty of space to spread out without constantly tripping over one another. Master suite was particularly nice - super comfy bed, amazing shower, plenty of space to get ready. 

Heather was very professional and polite, and we really appreciated her flexibility with check-in/check-out times. Really appreciated that she left convenience items in the bathrooms, as I forgot my razor - she had some available.

The house is located just off the highway, which made it convenient. No immediate neighbors on one side of the house, so it was nice and quiet.

All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay!"
2386706,25310019,2015-01-12,9203799,Millie,"heather was very welcoming and accomodating. easy going and able to help with dining suggestions and local sites.
we needed to add an extra days and she was flexible enough to work with our last minute changes.  "
2386706,26903699,2015-02-22,22096097,Kaitlyn,"The house and hostess were fantastic - we had a great experience! The house was very clean and so so so large, particularly in the kitchen and living room so we had plenty of space to socialize with one another. Heather was very easy to get in touch with and left us everything we could have possibly needed. 

The house looks much better and nicer than the pictures. 10/10 would stay here again! "
2386706,27253081,2015-03-01,24333983,Katherine,"Heather was fantastic! She was very friendly and helpful upon check in and so nice in really making you feel like ""what's hers is yours"" sort of thing. The place was super spacious and we had an easy time finding utensils/cookware, etc. to make our dinner on Friday night. It was a great location and Ubers came to us in minutes. I would highly recommend this place and Heather as a host!"
2386706,27534572,2015-03-07,24980008,Trevor,"Heather was such an amazing host. The house was exactly as described and very clean. Heather welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. I would recommend this house a 100 times over to anyone. 

We rented the house for our business trip and everyone was comfy and happy."
2386706,27998929,2015-03-16,16876566,Brent,The neighborhood was in a really great location with easy access to downtown.  SXSW activities were a quick LYFT ride away and it made getting around Austin really easy.  The house is AMAZING.  So much space and it felt really guest-ready.  It was very clean and well-stocked with plenty of towels.  Lots of bedrooms and plenty of beds in this house made staying here with our company really easy.  Heather was kind enough to let us in early when our airport shuttle arrived an hour earlier than our check-in time and was an all around great host.  We'd love to stay here again.  
2386706,28702626,2015-03-29,17763468,Nandini,"Heather met us at the door and was not only incredibly welcoming, but also extremely prepared for our arrival. The house was more than we could have imagined, she gave us access to anything she had stocked, and she even bought us a bottle of wine!

On Saturday, we accidentally disconnected the WiFi and couldn't figure out how to reconnect it. I texted Heather - knowing that she was with her family - and not expecting a response. Heather responded almost instantaneously and offered to drop by and fix it! Ten seconds after she showed up, the internet was back up and running. 

That singular incident solidified my wonderful experience with Heather and at this house. I would definitely recommend it to others and will be sure to stay there the next time I'm in Austin!"
2386706,29181749,2015-04-05,19100009,Vaughn,"This house was perfect for our large group. The first floor is spacious and was great for hanging out. The ceilings are super high and the couches are incredibly comfortable. The master bedroom is HUGE. The bathrooms are nice because they have the toilet behind its own door, so more than one person could use each bathroom at once, nice for a big group getting ready. The location is good; everywhere we wanted to go was a quick, cheap Uber ride away. Heather was very nice about checking in to see if we needed anything. The futons were not as comfortable as the beds, so I think it's best for 5 couples/people willing to double up, but the downstairs couches were so big and comfortable that it wasn't an issue. Overall, great value and a great place to stay!"
2386706,30217862,2015-04-19,20625610,Danan,"Lovely host and great house for a large group (we had 10 people). The neighborhood itself is a little bit separate from the main stroll along S. Congress, but it's a $4 uber ride and worth it for the amount of space you have in the house. "
2386706,30774171,2015-04-27,15025501,Adrienne,"Great experience! Heather was very accommodating and the place was very comfortable. Comfy beds, everything worked, no complaints!"
2386706,32311758,2015-05-17,25854217,Jennifer,The host was friendly and very kind. It was easy to feel at home in this house. The bath room in the master bedroom is very nice and huge. I really loved all the balconies the home has. The house was perfect for our group of 7. The listing was a good representation of the house. 
2386706,33066673,2015-05-25,26521128,Maria,"Denise was a great host!  The house was very spacious and welcoming.  We were 8 girls staying over memorial day weekend.  We did not have the best weather, but still were able to enjoy some of the patios at this house.  Perfect for a big group.  A few of us got to the house early and did not have a car yet, Denise actually offered to drive us to get some food and alcohol!  Very nice on her part.  We also had a small issue with one of the toilets not flushing and within 30 minutes Denise and her husband came to fix it.  Very nice house, good for big groups, lots of room!!"

"
2386706,36446260,2015-06-28,34437283,Frankie,Our experience in this home was perfect  We were greated by heather upon our arrival and had a tour of the home. We were able to comfortably fit 5 couples and even had room for extra friends to come the second night. The house is extremely large and every room had balcony. There is three rooms on the second floor and two beds on the third floor where they have the game room and gym. The best part was the shower and the jacuzzi in the master bedroom. We had a great time at sixth street on friday night and enjoyed our Saturday at barton springs.
2386706,37226485,2015-07-05,21890992,Aileen,"Amazing house, that accommodated our large group comfortably. Heather was very helpful and accessible to us. She shared great tips for the best local bars and restaurants. Overall great place with a wonderful host. "
2386706,44209391,2015-08-24,7589786,Thomas,"Heather was the best host I've had on AirBNB so far.  She met our group at the house, very shortly after we landed in Austin, and was extremely welcoming.  The house is VERY big, with ample room for groups, there is a great entertaining area, and the location is awesome.  The house is a short Lyft/Uber ride from South Congress, downtown, etc.  What a great stay.  Best yet.  "
2386706,46019274,2015-09-07,25664742,Danny,"Heather was an amazing host! She gave us a tour of her beautiful house when we first arrived. The home is very accommodating especially for our large group of 10. There are more than enough beds to comfortably sleep 10. 

There are multiple balconies in the home that allow for a secluded place to relax and talk. There are multiple refrigerators to store as much food and drinks as you need.

There are 3 full baths, and we didn't run into any issues with the hot water running out (but we did spend most of our time outside of the house doing touristy things). 

Parking on the street was easy and straightforward. 

Only downside is there wasn't any WiFi during my stay, but Heather did explain that they're in the middle of switching cable companies. Also there wasn't a big screen TV as their bulb burnt out. This actually wasn't an issue for us, but it may be for some other parties. 

Plenty of towels and toiletries in every bathroom.

Overall, an extremely pleasant stay and will definitely contact her again if we're in Austin! Thanks again Heather!"
2386706,50549775,2015-10-12,6314081,Toan D.,Great host & wonderful home. Fantastic location. Home is huge and perfect for big groups. Beds were a little rough but besides that everything was great!  Would stay again!
2386706,52117929,2015-10-26,18151946,Dave,Heathers place is massive and was a pretty good deal for race weekend. Lots of room. Overall it worked out well. There were a couple small issues but heather resolved them right away and was super responsive. The house is obviously set up mostly for rentals which means most of your needs are probably covered.

Meeting Lizan was also a pleasure. She is very happy and energetic and willing to make your stay the best possible.  If I'm in Austin again, I hope to stay here. The location is convenient to downtown and ACL. Thank you Lizan for making our stay wonderful!"
5185283,28126875,2015-03-18,3220441,Brian,"What a wonderful experience.  We arrived to a nicely appointed, modern rental.  We were greeted with a lovely note and arrival gift. Each room was beautifully decorated, and the backyard was amazing.  The kitchen had first rate appliances and cabinets and drawers that were full of great dishes and cooking utensils.

The backyard was furnished, had great yard lights, and a firepit.  Valerie and Joe had thoughtfully included firewood for our stay.

We were in town to produce a health innovation event at SXSW for kids, and this was the perfect place for us to work and relax!"
5185283,48717496,2015-09-28,1231822,Bruce And Amy,"The house was clean and comfortable, and the check-in process was a breeze.  The back-yard was really awesome, but we unfortunately didn't have much time to hang out back there.  Valerie and Joel even left us a nice note and a few snacks for our stay."
2378277,10906566,2014-03-12,12194658,Naja,"Kathleen was a nice, helpful and respectful host, the room and bathroom clean and the neighborhood really lovely. I enjoyed the birds singing in the morning and the nice running route along the lake. The only downside was that the taxis didn't like to come out to Tarrytown and pick me up in the morning. I guess they had too much business going on downtown because if SXSW. "
3096315,13933494,2014-06-08,16065100,Guillaume,"Great host, we didn't interact (she was out of the country) but she arranged everything so we had no problems at all.

The listing was pretty much what I expected, maybe even better. There were 2 couches (good enough for sleeping on) and a bed (and all the normal things and apartment has, including a washer and dryer).

The neighborhood is a bit of a mixed bag, since it's in the process of gentrifying. The house is right besides Austin community college so the people are mostly parents and stdents afaict. Close enough to downtown with the 2, but I wouldn't recommend taking the 6, as that's getting closer to the poorer side of town and doesn't look or feel as nice.

All in all, definitely worth the price, would rent again."

Liz, our host, was quick to reply when I needed anything and the place was fresh, cozy and nestled in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to anything you'd want to do in Austin. Comfy bed and lots of charm. Thanks, Liz!"
3096315,36611108,2015-06-29,12646698,Lindsey,"Apartment was great!  Easy check in and check out, safe neighborhood, and the bed was super comfortable.  Thank you!"
3096315,37589008,2015-07-08,16328991,Emily,Liz was wonderful and very helpful with any questions we had! The neighborhood was in a great part of Austin and literally no more than a 15 minute drive to any part of the city!  Super close to the lake as well..and the bed was extremely comfortable! :) Will definitely try and book in the future!
3096315,39521836,2015-07-24,27184762,Joshua,"I really enjoyed staying at Liz's place. It is cozy and a great get away after a long day in the archive, or a night on the town. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped, and had good work spaces.  

I rented a bike, and the university (hence much of downtown) is a pretty easy 10-12 minute ride. The bus is just down the hill.  

Liz was very easy to communicate with.  All in all a really nice place to stay. "
3096315,40635387,2015-08-01,1169396,Cynthia,"My boyfriend and I recently made a roadtrip to Austin and stayed here. We entered Liz's home to find air conditioners on (very welcome in the  Austin Summer heat), a few little lights on (which made entering feel homey), and a nice note welcoming us. The description and photos are totally accurate. The place was clean and inviting, and I immediately felt comfortable in the space. The kitchen was large, though we didn't wind up spending much time there (mostly went out to eat). I loved the little yoga nook. And the bed was SO comfortable!! I slept great every night I was there. We sat on the porch a couple times, but didn't wind up using the backyard at all (probably because it was so hot out). Even though we never saw her, Liz was a great host, and was even willing to let me borrow a book I started reading while there. The neighborhood seemed a little up and coming...I felt comfortable enough, though probably wouldn't have gone strolling about after dark.  I would highly recommend this spot if traveling to Austin- with a car though (we wound up driving most everywhere we wanted to go). Would totally stay here again!! "
3096315,41969294,2015-08-10,5096867,Liza,"The house was exactly how it is pictured. The bed is so much more comfortable than I could have imagined. The AC was fantastic in the middle of Austin summer. Liz had the house cool for us when we got there and at night we would turn off all the window units but the one in the bedroom and close the curtains in the doorways to keep the AC in rather than keeping the AC on in the whole house. That worked really well. The location is perfect for what we wanted, which was to be close to all the East Austin action. We really enjoyed our time. "
3096315,49858127,2015-10-06,15727673,Timoteo,Liz was an awesome host. The place was very tidy and exactly as pictured. Bed is crazy comfortable.
3096315,50470563,2015-10-12,984886,Daniel,"Easy check-in, everything was great! Super comfortable bed. Slept 4 OK (air mattresses). Definitely recommend."
3096315,52256174,2015-10-27,45630373,Paige,Liz's place was fantastic and really felt like home. Perfect size home for a couple looking to get away and explore Austin. Liz was extremely accommodating and the location was perfect. Close to downtown and a lot of fantastic restaurants. I would go back in a heart beat!
7381464,50539186,2015-10-12,16025261,Kelsey,Ryan did an awesome job. He was easy to get in touch with before our arrival date with any questions we had. He was there to greet us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. The locations was perfect for Austin City Limits with only having to walk about a mile there - also tons of places to stop and get food on the way there and back. Ryan left us lots of goodies (snacks and beer) so that was also very nice of him and came in handy. His place was just as the pictures looked - it was actually bigger than I expected. Very clean and comfortable. We felt like we were staying at one of our own places. 
7381464,51665101,2015-10-22,29899453,Jennifer,"I was very happy with my stay at the apartment. The place is very nice with a great open layout. You can't beat the location--I was able to walk to downtown and to South Congress frequently and enjoyed the close access to the lake for morning jogs. Ryan was a great host. He was flexible on meeting me to let me into the apartment and checked in halfway through my stay to make sure everything was going well. He left snacks and stocked the fridge with beverages, which was super thoughtful and so nice to have!

I would definitely stay at the apartment again whenever I get back to the area."
7381464,51961269,2015-10-25,41163327,Chad,"Ryan was very hospitable and a grade A host. When we arrived his apartment was clean with fresh sheets and towels. He even had toiletries for us to use in the restroom. He had the fridge full of beer for us and some snacks readily available. 
Ryan made getting into his apartment a smooth experience and he was responsive with anything that we needed. I thoroughly recommend staying at his apartment and will recommend friends to as well.  "
7381464,52176480,2015-10-26,46986333,Kevin,"Very nice place! Ryan was very accommodating for our specific stay and situation. Good location, and nice setup overall. Ryan was always very prompt in getting back to me with whatever questions I had. Would definitely recommend  "
7381464,52556072,2015-10-30,15643385,Patrick,"Ryan's apartment was clean, extremely comfortable and centrally located!  Ryan made us feel welcomed, meeting us on arrival to let us in and making sure we had everything we would need for our stay.  There were beers in the fridge for us to enjoy on his spacious patio and solid wifi allowed me to work remote from the apartment without worry.  I recommend Ryan's apartment to anyone looking for an awesome spot in Austin and I would absolutely stay there again! "
7381464,52734331,2015-11-01,20955881,Johnathan,"I loved staying at Ryan's place and he was a fantastic host. We were a little unsure of the roads situation before heading up because of weather troubles, but he was very prompt in getting back to us about road closures in Austin. After a long drive up, there were snacks, and a fridge full of beer and water. We were able to walk every where!! Fantastic and easy!!"
5934125,31683037,2015-05-08,13360797,Jonathan,"Victor was a great host, accommodating and welcoming.  He answered any questions I had promptly. The room is clean and as described. The kitchen and living room were well furnished and spacious. It was a pleasant stay with the location close to Barton Springs and downtown Austin."
5934125,32302963,2015-05-16,137248,Colby,"We arrived to the complex and were met by our host. He quickly made us feel at home, showing is all of the features of the house. Everything was ready to go for the 3 of us. The space was a good size and the shower was open to use with fresh towels. 
Our host was pleasant, and made sure we had everything we needed before we went to bed. "
5934125,46680686,2015-09-12,13874322,Amie,"This location was perfect for what we were looking for. Victor lives in a gated apartment complex, which is always a plus in my book. He was very accommodating and provided is with everything we needed, including 2 bikes that we were able to ride up and down the waterfront, a HUGE bonus and awesome experience. The trail was a very short distance from his place which was also an added bonus. "
5934125,48367734,2015-09-25,11774534,Nathan,"I only rented the room, but actually found myself with the whole place to myself which was a present surprise.  The place is very neat clean and simple.  Victor was very easy to communicate with and I found the place easily.  "
5934125,50895861,2015-10-15,6656874,Carlos,"Perfect place to stay! Victor is THE BEST host. The location is incredible, right next to the River and the boardwalk. The apt. Is very well decorated, modern-minimalistic which is exactly to my liking. There's lots of space and it's very clean and tidy. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to my friends."
4286402,28090612,2015-03-17,5375716,Dan,"The guest house was exactly as advertised. Although the space is small, it was impeccably clean and cozy. Gregg is a great host and knows how to run an AirBnB - there were clean towels, single serving coffee maker with k-cups, a variety of teas, granola/energy bars, water & beer in the fridge - nice touches to make it feel like a hotel.
The guest house is located in a great area, we were within walking distance to some great food trucks and bars - and a quick ($5) uber ride to the heart of 6th street. 
The only negative was that the wifi was a little spotty - but not really a big deal - you should be out exploring Austin anyway. "
4286402,28286288,2015-03-21,1752600,Hugh,Quiet refuge from all of the excitement that is steps from the door. 
4286402,29244741,2015-04-05,7174519,Maxwell,"Very easy experience. Cool spot in East Austin -- close  to some great nightlife. 

Super comfortable bed. And a horseshoe pit. "
4286402,29899777,2015-04-13,30976645,Jesse,"Gregg was an extremely accommodating host, we arrived in town with nowhere to stay and on extremely short notice he had the place in great shape and ready to be occupied.

Very responsive to any requests we had - easy in and easy out."
4286402,30341370,2015-04-20,8943769,Lauren,"Overall, this was a good experience. Gregg's place is super-tidy and has everything you need (full kitchen, towels, etc).  We rented bikes, which made it easier to get to downtown locations, and used Uber at night.  Gregg was welcoming and responsive to the few small things that came up during our stay. 
My one piece of feedback is that the pull-out sofa was terribly uncomfortable. I even moved the mattress onto the floor on the 2nd night, to avoid the lumpy/sagging factor, but still woke up with a sore back. Not being able to get a good night's sleep really impacted the quality of my visit to Austin, so that's why I mention it.  The upstairs bed, in the loft, was very comfortable (according to my friend, who slept there) but I think that only a child should count on getting a good night's sleep on the sofa bed. Something to consider if you are looking for a place with two separate beds for adults, as we were. "
4286402,31923475,2015-05-11,5588317,Joe,Gregg was a great host and his place was super. Would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again myself. Thanks Gregg!
4286402,32401210,2015-05-17,1487870,Isaac,"Gregg was a great host who was easy to communicate with - arranging our stay was a breeze. We found the guesthouse exactly as described, convenient and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!"
4286402,32935232,2015-05-23,20492544,Megan,"Gregg's apartment was great and exactly as advertised. The apartment was clean and cute, and the bed was very comfortable. A little bit far from downtown, we walked it once and took an uber a couple of other times, but within a reasonable distance.

Gregg made us feel welcome and made the process of getting into the  apartment very easy. I would definitely stay again."
4286402,33153151,2015-05-25,11096189,Gabriella,The description was accurate and the home was very easy to find.  He left us beers and water in the fridge which was very nice.  The home was clean and had plenty of space and Gregg was very easy to get a hold of.
4286402,34391137,2015-06-07,24219315,Thiago,"First of all: Gregg's got a great small home! We really enjoyed staying there. The description was very accurate, great and convenient location and impeccably clean. The house is tidy and cosy, perfect for 3 people. Thanks Gregg for our first lodging experience in Austin."
4286402,35045712,2015-06-14,34073963,Jesse,Greg was really accomidating and the appartment was perfect a perfect size. We stayed in our own small house and Greg even provided us with free beer.
4286402,37253702,2015-07-05,31305873,Catherine,"Gregg responded immediately and his place was neat and clean. It was sized for two and he provided an extra mattress for us. It is a bit far from the main drag of 6th street, but Gregg was a great host. "
4286402,38879502,2015-07-19,36165229,Sumon,"Location was great. It was walking distance to a lot of cool bars on the east side. Also, more importantly, was within easy walking distance to Veracruz All Natural, which serves up amazing tacos. Gregg left beers, water (still and sparkling), tea and coffee for us. The place was clean and perfect fit for a couple looking to experience a cool part of Austin. We would definitely stay here again."
4286402,41863558,2015-08-09,39961046,John,Perfect spot...Gregg great host..Nice touch with the beer...cheers Gregg
4286402,42623919,2015-08-14,298268,Kirk,"Great place to stay! Private and quiet yet still close to bars, restaurants and the river trail. "
4286402,45909943,2015-09-06,1732977,Amber,"The description on the listing was accurate, as well as other reviews of the listing. The neighborhood before gentrification used to be much different so the gate surrounding the whole property was nice to have. We enjoyed the uniqueness and Austin-like vibe of the property. It's small but could potentially accommodate a quite a few adventurous people! I image it's a prime location if you're visiting for SXSW. Gregg kept the property very clean and even left water, beer, and snacks for us to enjoy. I really enjoyed my stay. The only cons were that a few lightbulbs were out and there isn't a great amount of natural light. Also, bring your own dishes if you plan to prepare any food. "
4286402,46107703,2015-09-07,40224619,Manuel,"Gregg's place was really nice and clean. There were toiletteries, some stuff to drink and eat which I find really nice. I recomend it both because of its perfect location close to 6th street and other interesting places and because of the really comfortable experience staying at this place. Just perfect!"
4286402,47856894,2015-09-21,41424061,Marianne,"Great location, very convenient to East Side bars."
4286402,48448605,2015-09-26,24087026,Andrew,"Gregg was great.  Responsive and helpful.  The place was as described with a cool loft sleeping space.  Also, snacks and some drinks were available which for some reason makes everything awesome after a long trip.  

Thanks Gregg!"
4286402,48654997,2015-09-27,44946297,Selena,Gregg's place was perfect! The neighborhood is quite and I would high recommend this to anyone who looking to visit Austin. I will definitely  be book this location again on my next visit.
4286402,50256486,2015-10-10,5588317,Joe,Great place--would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
4286402,50525153,2015-10-12,13127615,Casey,"We had a great experience at Gregg's place! The apartment is exactly as described -- a lofted one room house (on the smaller side, good for a couple) on a gated private property that was extremely clean, safe and stocked with several amenities. Best part is the house is within walking distance to some of the best bars and restaurants in East Austin -- we rarely had to take cabs and you can rent bikes right around the block. Gregg was very responsive both before and during the trip -- we would definitely stay there again!"
4286402,51493514,2015-10-20,27070764,Damian,Great place to stay. Perfect for easy access to East Austin. Wonderfully quite space to wind down I between activities. Gregg was very available yet respectful of privacy.
4286402,51910061,2015-10-25,43294588,Kyle,Gregg had everything setup for us when we arrived.  The house was nice and clean.  It was a great location some spots were in walking distance and anything else was a cheap Uber ride away.  Thanks for the hospitality Gregg.  Would definitely stay here again if I'm ever back in Austin.
7327971,42080660,2015-08-10,40607720,Madeline,Nancy was a fantastic host! She was incredibly flexible with check-in and answered our questions before we had them! The apartment was pretty close to everything we wanted to do and was priced well. 
7327971,45173487,2015-08-31,18488968,Laura,"Perfect place for a quick weekend in Austin. Nancy was very nice, easy to communicate with, and the apartment is exactly what we expected. The location is one of the best parts - it is very easy to access, lots of restaurants and shopping within blocks, and extremely convenient to get to major streets and highways. I highly recommend Nancy's place for 1-2 people looking for a great place to stay for a quick weekend in Austin!"
7327971,46316754,2015-09-09,21918474,Remi,"Nancy was a great host! She was so flexible with checking in and out, and the apartment is just as pictured. She made sure there were plenty of clean towels and sheets/blankets, and let us bring some groceries ahead of time. The apartment is on the third floor, and has some tree line views that are nice- it is a very safe complex (and has a pool!). The surrounding area is great because of all the restaurants and shopping nearby. We're local Austinites and chose this location because of the convenience. There isn't a very big TV (and not one in the bedroom) if that matters to you. Thanks Nancy!"
7327971,48763391,2015-09-28,43382748,Nancy,"I stayed here while attending a 4-day workshop nearby and needed a quiet, comfortable place to sleep and recoup. It was perfect for that. Accurately described, very clean and uncluttered. Nancy's  husband was prompt and welcoming to help me check in. In the apartment, it was clear that Nancy had set it up with care . Checking out was super easy - no logistics.

A couple of notes ... the apartment is a straight, easy shot from the airport by car. It's on the 3rd floor with stairs only. Has a balcony if you like fresh air."
7327971,50470391,2015-10-12,41546337,Ligia,Nancy was so helpful. We had planned to meet up at 5 and I got stuck in houston traffic and didn't get to her place till close to 7. She was so nice about the entire situation. Her place was very cute and comfortable. We didn't have any problems. 
7327971,52223136,2015-10-27,41826856,Ariel,"Nancy was very helpful & thorough in her instructions for the apartment. Everything was as described, and we found the apartment  to be clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Thank you for hosting!"
6704541,35724775,2015-06-21,29741323,Jose,"This is a great place to stay to see a different side of Austin, meaning staying away from 6th street. The studio was very clean and well maintained. Easy to find and in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to several places to eat, listen to music, and have drinks. Also within walking distance to the Capitol. Crystal was very accommodating and made the check in/out process smooth. Will definitely stay here again. It is a great place for a quiet getaway."
6704541,36457824,2015-06-28,2697058,Melissa,"This place was perfect! Walking distance to Rainy street (did I spell that right?), and 6th St. We walked down to the river, too, and that was lovely. The 'studio' was really like our own private cottage, and we loved it. The bed was HUGE (queen, I think, maybe a king), hotel quality sheets and decorations. The kitchen was awesome, stocked with coffee and tea, a keurig with cups OR a french press, grinder and coffee beans if you prefer. We didn't use it, but the kitchen was fully equipped (fridge, stove, oven, etc.). Bathroom even had a hairdryer, and q-tips... literally everything we could have wanted or needed! 
Beyond the actual accommodations,  Crystal was awesome. We were spending most of our time with friends who were staying up the street, so we didn't meet Crystal in person, but she responded with in minutes to any questions I had, and even checked in with us to see how things were going. 
I really can't say enough great things about this place. Did I mention the washer and dryer on the covered 'porch' area? And the twinkle lights hung up over the porch chairs? And the backyard patio-type furniture? We really had an awesome time, thank you for everything Crystal! "
6704541,37357020,2015-07-06,35561615,Anjali,"Crystal set up a great welcome packet and her studio was filled with little amenities like shaving gel, a hair dryer, tons of towels, a robe, etc. The bed is about king size so my friend and I had plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen is quite spacious. The pictures don't do justice on the amount of space you have. My friend and I were able to have our own space without being on top of each other. 

The only cons were that there were a few bugs (mostly because Austin was so humid and wet for the past month or so) and the internet was spotty at best. 

Other than that, this studio is awesome and the bed was so comfy and clean! Great location."
6704541,37768476,2015-07-10,35479725,Jennifer,"The host and the place was great!  It was conveniently located walking distance from the convention center.  I had complete privacy and comfort.  The host was quick to respond to my questions.  The place was clean, full of amenities, comfortable, and well taken care of.  I would absolutely stay there again if I find myself back in Austin, TX.  "
6704541,38778324,2015-07-18,11404276,Roswell,"Awesome studio in East Austin! Short walk to restaurants, bars, and music. The studio was clean and comfortable. Crystal even provided complimentary Lone Star, wine, and coffee."
6704541,39230193,2015-07-21,14447608,Morgan,"Had a blast! The studio was very quiet, peaceful, and beautifully decorated.  Walking distance to Cesar Chavez and 5 minute drive to 6th street and South Congress. Fantastic neighborhood! It was a wonderful trip and the accommodations played a huge part in the whole experience. Thank you!"
6704541,39991389,2015-07-27,28859321,Chelsea,"Staying at Crystal's place was the best decision my sister and I made while in Austin. The place is incredibly central (though I do recommend renting a car while in Texas), super clean and spacious enough for two. Crystal provided helpful information about Austin and recommendations that were really great. If you're arriving at night I will say to have a flashlight at hand as the path that leads to the studio can be a bit dark. Overall awesome spot! "
6704541,41220330,2015-08-05,36090387,Maki,Wonderful stay! It was like staying in a hotel with a very attentive host. Spotless place and personalized attention. We got great food recommendations. 
6704541,41710865,2015-08-08,23002519,Liam,Fantastic in every way
6704541,42343804,2015-08-12,32800903,Karina,"This was a perfect find for our stay in Austin.  It is well-located, clean, and spacious.

We were no more than a 15 minute drive to everything we wanted to do: eat, shop, listen to live music.

The space itself has a wonderful open layout, with plenty of windows, HUGE comfortable bed, shower with excellent water pressure, and a kitchen with all essential tools.

The owners are very helpful, suggesting many local restaurants and bars.  They responded quickly when we contacted them about a few broken housewares upon our arrival.

We would definitely stay here again."
6704541,43498157,2015-08-20,29890810,Jamie-Ann,The studio was the perfect size for me and my boyfriend's visit to Austin. Very clean and organized. Crystal was a great host and tailored suggestions for our interests. Her welcome packet and directions to find and enter the apartment were concise so we had no problems with our arrival and our exit. Crystal was always available when we had questions. I would definitely recommend this Austin Airbnb!
6704541,43700002,2015-08-21,29069052,Angela,"My experience was a tad different than most. I had to cancel my business trip at the last minute and Crystal was absolutely wonderful and understanding. It's not ofrenda that someone offer's to help out a little with the next stay.

Look forward to a future stay!"
6704541,44169023,2015-08-24,10448723,Amila,"Crystal was a great host and the place was perfect, exactly as described.  Crystal emailed detailed instructions on how to reach the studio on advance and we didn't have any trouble finding it.  We had everything we needed, I would recommend staying at this place. Thank you! !"
6704541,44696726,2015-08-28,3495594,Charlotte,"We had a really great time at crystals pad! It was just beautiful- very comfortable bed, big tv, beers in the fridge and robes in the closet! We had a book of suggestions and tips for when we arrived! Crystal had thought of everything! She even checked in asking if we needed any suggestions before we arrived! The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, but we felt most comfortable taking an uber or taxi at night - as there were some sketchy areas between the house and downtown. We would recommend crystal to anyone and stay again! Thanks! "
6704541,44952603,2015-08-30,22040858,Samantha,"Our stay with Crystal at the Hideaway Studio was absolutely perfect! I honestly can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. 

Location: The Hideaway Studio was in such an amazing location for our visit. It is surrounded by so many different bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and more that we had wanted to visit while in Austin. Every single one of Crystal's recommendations was on point too! So many wonderful spots in short walking distance! A short distance from the lake, Rainey Street, and many East Austin favorites!

The Space: The Hideaway totally sold me on the whole small space movement. So much character in such a beautiful studio! It really felt like a home away from home. Beautiful furniture and decor with such a great design.

The Bed: Can you so comfy? After a long day of exploring the city it felt wonderful coming back to fluffy cloud and floating off to sleep.

Bathroom: This is exactly what you can never find in a hotel: a truly clean bathroom. Fluffy towels and a shower with great water pressure too!

Check-In/Out: Both were simple and super easy thanks to Crystal's instructions.

Communication: I barely had time to click send on Airbnb and text messages before Crystal responded. Extremely helpful and accommodating!

If I'm ever back in Austin I know where I will be staying!"
6704541,45521879,2015-09-03,42512832,Joe,"great location, and a well kept and neat studio apartment.  Would definitely stay there again.   "
6704541,45812017,2015-09-06,24883463,Laurie,We loved our stay at the East Side Hideaway! Crystal was very accommodating with our check in and check out times. We were left a very informative and useful welcome packet filled with different Austin recommendations. The place was the perfect size for two people and very clean! We will recommend this place to everyone. Thanks again for a very pleasant stay Crystal! :) 
6704541,46304779,2015-09-09,4084519,Sarah,"Wonderful studio and host! Very clean and efficient space with an extra comfy bed and all around great amenities. We loved the location--so central to all of our vacation plans (the longest drive to anywhere was 15 minutes). Crystal was a top notch host--she provided clear directions, great local recommendations, and was easy to reach when we had questions. Thanks again!"
6704541,46534118,2015-09-11,20170796,Jen,"Had a wonderfully relaxing time at the East Side Hideaway.  The photos and listing are very accurate.  The space is open, sunny and quiet.  Upon arrival the studio was perfectly clean.  Instructions and information were organized making check-in and out a breeze.  The neighborhood is great and there are plenty of great restaurants within walking or short drive.  Crystal gives some great recommendations that were spot on.  Would absolutely recommend and return."
6704541,47168872,2015-09-16,40534526,Megan,Crystal's studio was the perfect place for our trip to Austin! It had a perfect location that allowed us to easily travel all over the city. Crystal made us feel so welcomed and was very easy to communicate with! She also took the time to leave us recommendations for places to check out while in Austin. I would definitely recommend this place and will absolutely stay here again in the future! 
6704541,47378238,2015-09-18,845019,Stefanie,"Stay here! :) crystal was so easy to communicate with, was very responsive and helpful and her place was perfect. Clean, well set up, and even had wine and beer for us! This was one of the best air bnb experiences we had and highly recommend staying here. Plus, it's just a short walk from La Barbeque and Veracruz Tacos and a short drive to Whisler and east side kings food truck. 

Thank you for a wonderful experience, Crystal! You are what being a great air bnb host is all about!"
6704541,48818564,2015-09-28,44702597,Emily,"East Side Hideaway was just as described.  It was easy to find, clean and the modern design and a bright pop of color made it fun to stay here.  We loved the wine/beer/coffee provided and the personalization that the host offered with a welcome packet.  "
6704541,49117916,2015-10-01,37837994,Ryan,"Crystal put together a very handy welcome packet and she took the time to include recommendations based on what I was was looking for.  It was awesome.  The description of her place was perfectly accurate and it was exactly what i was looking for.  The neighborhood is fantastic and very walkable.  The metrorail and metrobus are also very convenient and I was able to get around just fine without a car.  I hope every host on airbnb is as attentive as Crystal.
"
6704541,49442825,2015-10-04,40108973,Sandeep,"East Side Hideaway was great. The studio had everything you could need from a fully equipped kitchen, tv and wifi, comfy bed and great shower, even a driveway for your car.  Nice clean studio and great welcome pack on arrival with lots of personal recommendations from the hosts for eating, drinking and sightseeing. We tried out a number of the recommendations and all of them were great.  The location on the Eastside was perfect for getting to the key parts of Austin and the area itself was really cool. Furthermore host was great at staying in touch from the point we booked all the way through to us leaving the studio and was always very responsive. Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
6704541,49796942,2015-10-06,41612421,Byron & Tanisha,"Crystal and her studio are amazing.

-Lots of space, you never feel cramped.
-Close to some of the best BBQ in Austin! (Rollin Smoke BBQ)
-On a quiet street, great for crashing after a big day or night.
-Cable TV for those nights you feel like chilling.
-Some of the best bars in Austin just up the road. (The White Horse)
-Easily accessible via rail
-Personalised itinerary courtesy of Crystal!
-Very responsive host

What more can I say?
All I know is our next trip to Austin we'll definitely be staying here again.
-Byron & Tanisha"
6704541,50439011,2015-10-12,37879906,Miguel,"The place was exactly like described. Loved it, very well located with good places to eat or drink near it. Haven't met Crystal but she was very helpful when required. Would definitely go back! "
6704541,51023256,2015-10-17,294592,Claudia,"This would have to be THE most thoughtful airbnb accommodation we have stayed at to date.  From the complimentary wine and beer, the coffee beans and grinder for fresh daily brews to hair drier, ear plugs for light sleepers.  The list just goes on and on.   Crystal left us personalised recommendations which were perfect.  We would highly recommend a stay here, especially if you plan to check out local gems like Flat Track a Coffee, La Barbecue and Buffalina-  all within walking distance.   A home away from home which will hopefully have us returning to Austin in the future."
6704541,51633446,2015-10-22,26677588,Sandi,"Definitely stay at the East Side Hideaway! 
It is spacious, clean and well located for anything you want to do in Austin, just as described on the website.
The bed is comfortable, the kitchen is large and fully equipped, the shower is great and there is a parking spot.
Crystal is very attentive and friendly, and answers emails and texts within minutes. She left us with a packet of suggestions of places to eat and to visit.
"
6704541,51857489,2015-10-24,46945380,Jason,"Great communication, awesome little hideaway!  Great up and coming neighborhood!"
6704541,52211434,2015-10-27,39201109,Karim,"Very welcoming host who detailed and prompt communication before we arrived.  Had a large amount of helpful information on what to do in the surrounding area and elsewhere throughout Austin.

The unit itself was clean, cozy but comfortable, and very safe.  Would happily stay again and will definitely tell friends...or, on second thought, I may keep this my little secret."
6704541,52352672,2015-10-28,31528744,Kate,"Really great space! Super clean and a short walk to many great restaurants. The host even let us check in an hour early, which coming from a 4:30am flight was really helpful. "
939983,3836107,2013-03-19,3153407,John,We stayed at Linda's house during SXSW 2013 for 9 days. Everything was amazing. The house is gorgeous and Linda was very accommodating both before and during our stay there. Highly recommended!!
939983,4261299,2013-04-22,5682172,Sandra,We stayed at Linda's house for the weekend.  I highly recommend this house for 2 couples because there is privacy for each. The house is beautiful and a 15 minute drive to downtown.  Linda was very helpful and even left a list of great places to eat during our stay.   We hope to stay here again soon!
939983,4693509,2013-05-20,6312075,Jennifer,"Linda was a wonderful host!  We really felt like guest in her home for the weeknd.  The house was just as pictured: modern, clean, and comfortable.  The locaion was great too!      "
939983,4854493,2013-05-28,315046,Breanna,Linda's place was wonderful! Close enough to downtown for fast access to everything. We loved everything. The patio was our favorite spot. The upstairs porch was perfect for a morning coffee. Cute and quiet neighborhood. We will definitely be staying here again. 
939983,8811905,2013-11-19,6173326,Varun,"We stayed at Linda's place over the F1 weekend at Austin. It was a great house, modern, comfortable and well stocked. The location was excellent - between downtown and the circuit. Highly recommended! We will definitely come back if we return for F1 next year."
939983,10874803,2014-03-11,10566844,Marc,The host met us on time and left us a well furnished and stocked house in great condition.  The house has a great mid century modern feel and recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced Austin accomodation.
939983,10943477,2014-03-14,12431150,Harold,Linda was probably one of the most gracious hosts I have ever dealt with in my life. Her home was immaculate upon arrival and she provided us with some food and also brought us farm fresh eggs from her daughters house. All in all it was a great experience and highly recommend Lindas home!
939983,11224645,2014-03-25,4688218,Logan,We had a great time here it was clean beautiful and modern. Linda also left us some breakfast snacks and coffee for the morning which was an awesome surprise. We rented a car because Austin is so spread out so this made getting around very easy. I would absolutely stay here again
939983,11751529,2014-04-14,9631436,Johnee,"Absolutely amazing property! Lots of room, very well furnished, and just stellar accommodations.  Price for race weekend was great, especially for the size of property.  Definitely recommend! "
939983,12298308,2014-04-28,11402983,Barry,"What a great house to live. The house has everything we needed during our stay. There is even a 2-car port in the back, perfect for shade during the hot weather. Linda is super friendly, the true meaning of southern hospitality. Let her know if you want her cats to stay with you or not. A perfect location for us, only 10-15 min. to arrive at our destination. We are definitely going to return back to Linda's house at our next stay."
939983,12509337,2014-05-04,2582293,Chase,Linda has a great space in a unique Austin neighborhood. It's super accessible and a relaxing environment. Linda was a great host and who would have thought that we actually are friends with her daughter? Thanks Linda.
939983,20610024,2014-10-02,1782702,Alyssa,"Linda's house was so beautiful, clean and stylish- it was really the perfect place for my stay in Austin.  She had great communication with me throughout my stay and was willing to help me in anyway possible.  I highly recommend this house to all the airbnbers out there!! "
939983,21199559,2014-10-13,10672693,Rachael,"Linda was an exceptional host. She was gracious in all areas of hospitality, and her home was a perfect home base for my wedding week in Austin. The home is spacious in a modern contemporary style,  and the beds are so comfortable. I highly recommend this house for people looking for a quiet neighborhood for a group! "
939983,21830458,2014-10-25,20974033,Rachel,Great house. Plenty of room for 2 couples. Very generous host.
939983,22291075,2014-11-03,5608912,Marissa,"Linda's home was wonderful and perfect for 4 couples. Immaculately clean with all the necessities (plus more!) for two couples in Austin for Formula 1 weekend. The detailed instructions were helpful as were the thoughtful recommendations. We appreciated her leaving breakfast offerings and snacks and communication was great for check-in. We would all love to come back and stay at this fabulous home, and would hope to be able to meet Linda and Bill next time!"
939983,24782154,2015-01-02,22217953,Jeff,"Linda was terrific at responding to my inquiries and she has a spectacular place on the East side of Austin. Her home is immaculately clean and every detail is taken into consideration.  The location is awesome. It is close enough to the things we wanted to see and do in Austin but far enough away to not be in a noisy environment.

There are many, many PROS to list in this review but here are a few:

-High Speed Internet
-Great Kitchen 
-Awesome Location
-Extremely Clean


CONS: (To some guest this will matter)

-No Cable TV
-Limited sleeping spaces (2- Queens)
-Extremely Clean (We felt the need to clean while on vacation)
-Not suitable for young children

This is Linda's personal home and she leaves when rented. With that in mind, we found ourselves even more mindful that we were in a person's private home. 

Overall we loved it and would definitely return again. If you have questions about my stay, you can google my name. I live in Houston and would be glad to email or chat with you about this. Jeff Ludy"
939983,26575851,2015-02-15,26902043,Yusra,Our stay at Linda's house was fantastic! The house was so pretty and very clean. It was perfect for two couples. She was very accommodating and even left us snacks and drinks to enjoy. I even left something at her place and didn't realize I left it until I was back home. Linda is such a sweet lady! She made sure we got our belongings back as soon as possible. We would definitely rent her place again when we visit Austin. 
939983,26933615,2015-02-22,19204666,Ana Maria,"We had such a wonderful stay here!  The house was very cool, modern, and clean.  The neighborhood was quiet, and a little off the beaten path, but downtown was easily accessible by car.  There was plenty of room.  2 bedrooms and a lovely living area and kitchen.  We spent time on the patio and the spacious upstairs balcony.  Linda was very thoughtful and left of plenty of towels and toiletries, and even snacks and drinks in the fridge.  We can't wait to stay here again!  Highly recommended!"
939983,27620137,2015-03-08,444786,Jose,"Linda's house is great and conveniently located. Our host, Linda, was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly reccommend enjoying Linda's beautiful home."
939983,28384016,2015-03-23,3432028,Amber,My stay at Linda's home was lovely. Her place was immaculately clean and I felt very much at home. Linda was very attentive and responded to all my questions very quickly. I was able to extend my stay with ease. Would gladly stay at Linda's home next time I'm in Austin! 
939983,28741411,2015-03-29,5168044,Greg,We had a great weekend in Austin at this amazing modern style house. Linda was very accommodating and included some snacks and drinks that were very nice after a rather hot weekend in Austin. The house was spotless and the neighborhood is very attractive and quiet. She was very responsive to all email inquiries and provided very thorough welcome instructions. Thanks for a great weekend!
939983,29764722,2015-04-12,9631436,Johnee,We had an incredible stay!  Linda was such a great host and even left us a case of beer and a thank you card as a welcoming gift!  Highly recommended! cute neighborhood and very clean accommodations!  I will be sure to return on our next Austin adventure.  Thank you Linda for making our experience that much nicer.
939983,37262598,2015-07-05,36443727,Michelle,"Our host Linda was wonderful. She supplied us with a lot of information on the area and left us several newspapers with things to do.  Linda also supplied us with breakfast in the morning of bagels, yoghurt, juice and coffee which was amazing as we weren't super close to downtown Austin.  She was very reliable and got back to us very quickly.  The only thing was we arrived at the house at 430 when the check in time was 3 and the hosts were still present.  We felt awkward and that we were rushing them out of their house as they were still preparing for their own weekend leave.  We also did care for their two cats during our stay.

The neighborhood is quite, safe and modern; the rest of the houses are similar style which makes for a cool area.  It was about 15 minutes from downtown which next time we come in we'll try stay a little closer.  But for the fourth of July it was great not to be kept up by a ton of fireworks late into the night.  

The house was beautiful and bright, very clean and they supplied us with towels, sheets etc.  

We had a very relaxing vacation and would highly suggest Linda and her home!  Thank you Linda!"
939983,38966527,2015-07-19,38585702,Timothy,My time there was great. She welcomed me and guest with open arms. The house was very roomy
939983,50279914,2015-10-11,27236118,Sydney,"Linda's house was wonderful. The location is just far enough out of the city that makes for a quiet spot, but close enough to all the fun and good eats downtown. Thanks for trusting 4 young adults in for ACL to stay in your home. We so appreciated it! "
939983,51891793,2015-10-25,12960686,John,Linda is a great host and made us feel very welcome in this very clean and convenient modern home.  Easy to get to from airport and not far from downtown.  
8302929,49673711,2015-10-05,44126264,Daniel,"Stephanie was a great host who was very informative about everything like location, rooms, towels, toiletries, Internet, keys, refreshments, and parking! She was very accommodating with the check-in time when we were coming into town for ACL weekend. The house is unique with so many knick knacks and decorations that gave it a definite Austin vibe."
8338265,48444763,2015-09-26,43965842,Lee,I needed a place to stay while I waited for the house I rented to be ready. The key exchange was easy and worked for what I needed. It had a nice little patio.
8338265,49818200,2015-10-06,15619225,Jill,Paul is amazing and a great host. Made my friend and I feel very comfortable in his home. I really appreciate how he treated us and his place was really nice.
8338265,50672422,2015-10-13,12305445,Mark,"The apartment was a quiet place to crash after a full day at Austin City Limits.  It was close walking distance to a friend's home, but not to many stores, restaurants, and downtown."
8532925,50696537,2015-10-13,38512152,Chrissi,"This was only our second experience with an airbnb and we couldn't have asked for a better host or a better place to stay. It looks just like the pictures. The shower is wonderful, the kitchen is beautiful and close to a very good vegan place (from my daughter). We would definitely stay here again! "
5434388,29652439,2015-04-10,25015072,Will,"Great stay, very clean and convenient"
5434388,29799962,2015-04-12,30101917,Kalindi,"My stay here was nice and uncomplicated. The place is close to downtown and is well maintained. Although I did not meet Julia personally, she was quick to respond to my messages and answer any concerns."
5434388,30009820,2015-04-15,31172274,Thomas,Julia was prompt and friendly.  I felt safe and secure.  I had to contact her the day of my arrival and her associate returned my call within 10 minutes.  House was well kept and within minutes to many locale attractions.  This was my first experience with airbnb and I am thrilled that this service exists.  
5434388,30261546,2015-04-19,31214739,Russell,"Had yet another great time in Austin, and Julia's place was perfect for the weekend. It being located on the east side ensured that we didn't get in that much crazy traffic, yet still gave us access to the events we had planned for the weekend. Thanks again! "
5434388,31661029,2015-05-08,30509664,Amy,"The house was very comfortable and the location was great! My partner and I did not get a chance to meet Julia, but the house was excellent!"
5434388,32733215,2015-05-20,33168694,Jai,The room and house were clean and in a good location. Highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere in E Austin.
5434388,32906126,2015-05-23,3175574,Eric,Responsive host! Great and as described accommodations.
5434388,33262386,2015-05-26,31130743,Oliver,The room as well as the neighborhood were great - just as described. Places to eat and do groceries were around the corner and CapitalMetro stations were close by. I would definitely recommend this room.
5434388,34472193,2015-06-08,33818572,Danithan,"Julia was very accommodating and hasty to respond. A 5-star host, for sure!"
5434388,35668920,2015-06-21,3459623,Judith,"This was a good location if you need someplace clean and quiet to crash. However, all three bedrooms in the house are rented separately, and the ""host"" is never there. So if you are someone who is uncomfortable about not knowing who else is in the house with you, this is not a good choice. There are keypad codes to get into the house and into your individual room, so it's convenient if you get in at an odd hour. However before arriving you must call them (and I mean them because it appears this is a whole organization of people, it's not just the host avatar you see on the page) before you land. I tried the number listed on the AirBnB confirmation email to let them know I would be late. That number was wrong. So I had to go online to find a different number. Finally, when I got the correct number, the guy on the phone told me all the keypad numbers had been updated a week before. Had I not called, I would have been locked out at 4am. So this is the type of experience you could have if you choose the place. But like I said, if you just need a clean and quiet place to crash between going out, it's alright. There is a washer and dryer there (though I had to tell another temporary resident to not dry his clothes at 1am because it was too loud), and a small kitchen. The location was great for downtown access, it is two blocks away from the 17 bus stop, and about six blocks from the 6th street hipster bar scene drag. Overall, there was nothing wrong with the house or the neighborhood, but it was a little uncomfortable to stay there by myself. I would not suggest it if you haven't traveled a bunch. "
5434388,36448051,2015-06-28,20848943,Mateusz,"Thanks guys for hosting me. It is very good place if you want to be close to downtown (to famous 6th street it is about 15 min by foot) for reasonable price. Hosts are very guest-friendly so I had a chance to talk with Austinians what is worth to see here. Maybe this is not 5 star hotel (only four and the half) but I can recommend this place. What is imporant so when you have a car, you don't need to pay for parking."
5434388,36729719,2015-06-30,5712133,Sarah,I really enjoyed my stay at Jordan and Julie's.  The room was simple and the bed was really comfortable.  I would gladly stay with this host again.  
5434388,36934719,2015-07-02,37169088,Mary,House was cute and a $5 uber ride into the heart of Austin (Wednesday night). Julia and her team were easy to get in touch with - which was only needed in order to touch base regarding our reservation and then to ask about best way to get into the city. There was a binder on the kitchen table listing cool places to check out in the area. 
5434388,37526088,2015-07-07,33917429,Brian,"The house is nice. Not actually anyone's home just a house with three individual bedrooms. It's a good place just to crash. It's minimally furnished but clean. Clearly a group of people who manage it, not just Julia. I was greeted by a guy who is not listed on the airbnb listing. Wouldn't recommend staying unless you're comfortable with other travelers/strangers. Not in the best of neighborhoods but it is close enough to downtown. Again, it's a clean home and good stay if you're comfortable traveling and a rough neighborhood doesn't bother you."
5434388,37723192,2015-07-09,12531656,Kamryn,"It was very clean and nice. The wi-fi wasn't that great though, but overall it was nice to feel like I was at home. I washed a load of clothes. They had everything I needed."
5434388,37824959,2015-07-10,6045037,Daron,"Loved our stay, very nice safe and clean space. It felt like staying in a mini hotel. Thanks!"
5434388,38084778,2015-07-12,34070150,Jack,"Julia and her staff were very helpful in getting me situated. My room was cozy, secluded, and all the basics were within reach. The place looked newly remodeled and very clean. I definitely recommend it!"
5434388,38453719,2015-07-15,37927748,Ashley,The house was exactly like the description said. It was a nice and quiet neighborhood and I didn't have any problems getting around Austin. 
5434388,38896748,2015-07-19,36983846,Allen,"It is a good place to stay if you are a collage student looking for a cheap place to stay for a couple nights.  I am not sure if it is good for people looking to stay in Austin for vacation. It brought me back to my collage days, to say the least!"
5434388,39245055,2015-07-21,31029592,Daniel,"This was a great place to stay. It was super affordable, very clean, and the people we met there were great. I loved the neighborhood and all of the trees. I would definitely stay here again next time I'm in Austin. "
5434388,39471220,2015-07-23,39242858,Ian,Perfectly nice little common area with 3 separate bedrooms for other airbnb'ers. Probably not the best place for those who are pensive or shy around others. Or don't want to deal with possible noise from less considerate vacationers. I enjoyed our stay thoroughly however.
5434388,39651989,2015-07-25,36265797,Brooke,Very clean home and bedroom! We enjoyed our stay. It is also very close to downtown. Would definitely stay again! 
5434388,40293612,2015-07-29,51209,Julie,"I had a nice stay at Julia's. The house was easily accessible, clean and the bed was really comfortable. They even had an oscillating fan in the room and a desk which made doing some work much easier. "
5434388,40699528,2015-08-01,31809273,Ben,A lovely little home which was clean and as described! Just a short cab ride from down town: the location is great! Would definitely stay there again! 
5434388,41477923,2015-08-07,7499985,Philipp,The apartment matched the description perfectly. I arrived late but due to the key lock mechanism to get in this was not an issue. I only stayed the night but everything was great during my few hours stay. The apartment is in close walking distance to all the bars on East 6th street.
5434388,41967774,2015-08-10,1837251,Amy,"The listing description was accurate but there was little to no communication with Julia or the other 'supposed' owners of the home. They provided the key codes necessary to obtain access to the room we reserved, but there was not much else.  There was also poor to little communication about where to park at the home... Not very pleased with this listing.  Also.... as a Word of Advice! Please Please Please make sure when you or anyone else you know is booking with AirBnb, you make SPECIAL NOTE of the Host's Cancellation Policy.  There is 'Moderate' and 'Strict'! AVOID THE STRICT!!!!  I tried with more than a week's notice to cancel the reservation because we needed to add two additional days and had found another location that worked better.  They would not work with me on a Refund  :(

Overall, the place was average.  The bathroom door does not catch and stay closed so there were a few awkward moments.  Also, the Wi-Fi that one would assume is part of the overall cost of the room was very poor. "
5434388,42367456,2015-08-12,25013126,L. W. Dusty,The house was clean with all the conveniences I needed ... EXCEPT the Internet did not work in my room and the bathroom door would not close and lock.
5434388,43345369,2015-08-18,37696056,Sophia,Très bien pour un hôtel. Très propre et pratique. 
5434388,45359664,2015-09-01,38207634,Charles,A fantastic place to stay - he room was spotless and comfortable. Used codes instead of keys which was very useful since we didn't have to worry about losing/leaving it. Easy parking and only a short cab away from downtown. Highly recommend! 
5434388,46458485,2015-09-10,17542581,Maggie-Rose,"Great property, ideal location and really convenient access to the house with security codes - would definitely recommend!"
5434388,46827278,2015-09-13,39366067,Marie,"Stedet levede helt op til beskrivelsen!! Det var rent og pænt, og det nøgleløse system fungerede rigtig godt!! Det var et rigtigt hyggeligt kvarter og det var tæt på downtown!! Det var lige det vi forventede, internettet var dog til tider lidt langsomt men det virkede. "
5434388,47446363,2015-09-18,21932119,Zeynep Fatma,"It was a nice stay, the unit was very clean, everything was as described. Neighborhood was convenient, and I didn't feel unsafe at all. This is a 3bedroom apartment and the other two were empty when I stayed there, so I was alone. If you are looking for a place with your friends, this place can be fun. "
5434388,48156935,2015-09-23,20830454,Andrew,"Room was as described, door code was very convenient for a late arrival and early departure. sheets were clean and it was quiet."
5434388,49783746,2015-10-06,39962535,Allison,Julia's Airbnb fit our needs perfectly. Good location. 
5434388,49937271,2015-10-07,18089311,Scott,"Clean, affordable and a close walk to 6th street! Host was very quick about confirmation.  "
5434388,50124631,2015-10-09,45360151,Leah,Julia was a good host. No personal connection with the guests so it feels more like a hostel. Good location close to downtown. Had a great time. Thanks Julia!
5434388,50543367,2015-10-12,4705833,Tristana,"I really hate writing negative reviews but we did not enjoy our stay. To start with the positives, this is a room in a house in East Austin. 10-20 min walk to all of the highlights of East Austin with shops, restaurants and bars. The outside of the house is cute with a nice kitchen and bathroom-great shower. There is a washer/dryer. The keyless door nobs are handy but a little annoying on your individual room when you close the door to go to the bathroom. This is clearly a house that is solely rented out for Airbnb, no one lives here. So you are missing the locals vibe that is so great about Airbnb. There were other people staying in the other 2 rooms. Interactions with the host are friendly but perfunctory, understandable for the amount of people they probably work with, but not welcoming. The bedroom was the worst part...the rest of the house is clearly invested in but it stops where you sleep. The bed was uncomfortable with minimal, thin blankets. Little to no decorations. Yes, this is a room in a house as advertised but more expensive than a motel room and less nice without your own bathroom. I felt like I was sleeping in a college dorm room or a teenager's unkempt room. Given the location and the common areas, this place has great potential. But until they upgrade the bedrooms, I would not recommend staying here."
5434388,50881828,2015-10-15,45731290,Stacy,This is a great spot in Austin! It has the feel of a well managed hostel and is convenient to many Austin landmarks. Bring your bike to make the most of it. The keyless entry makes checking in very easy. 
5434388,52861463,2015-11-02,45448468,Robert,"The location is very good and the price was reasonable. The accommodation lacks charm -- it feels more like a hostel than someone's home. The code I was given to my room didn't work and it took about an hour of emailing back and forth for me to be given a new code. Bathroom door doesn't lock. There was a leak in the roof in the laundry room during a rainstorm. I would describe the location as clean, well located and adequate. However, if I was looking for more of a homey airbnb experience I would go elsewhere."
5434388,53226928,2015-11-06,4491780,Astro,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
726354,3779059,2013-03-14,2504274,Elyse,I rented Andi's place for my coworkers for the week of SXSW and it was great. We also rented the airstream in the back which we didn't end up using- I didn't realize it didn't have a bathroom. Overall though it was good for a group!
726354,3815021,2013-03-18,124107,Abigail,"What can I say!? One of the most outstanding airbnb experiences I've ever had!  The house was clean light more than enough space for the 6 of us!  The airstreamer caravan out back was fully kitted out and a novel and comfortable experience!  There is a gorgeous house cat who we named Adele (real name Marty) who plied us with affection.  Andi was a fantastic host warm, friendly, helpful and on the few occasions we had questions she was on our doorstep in less than 5 minutes!  The bikes were a great addition and it is a very easy and pleasant ride from the house into central Austin.  I can't recommend this place highly enough "
726354,11022185,2014-03-17,1990407,Steven,"We LOVED everything about this airbnb. The house is beautiful and bursting with personality and creativity. The airstream behind the house is super cute and very comfortable as well. Everything about this place and the hostess was excellent. We felt so accommodated and welcomed into the home, especially with the sweetest house cat I've ever met.  If you are looking for a true Austin experience, I highly recommend staying here! The next time I plan a trip to Austin, this will be the first place I try to book."
726354,20750129,2014-10-05,17382973,Dominic,Alexandria did a great job of opening her home up to us.  The guys had a great time and she did everything she could to accommodate us.  Anything we asked for she helped with to the best of her ability. 
726354,21147927,2014-10-12,20125067,Cameron,I stayed at the house with 10 people and we loved it! It was a lovely home and a great location to night life in Austin. We were hoping to use all 10 bikes but they weren't in great shape.  Marty the cat was also very nice and friendly. Alexandria was very accommodating and I highly recommend this house!! 
726354,28117463,2015-03-18,708527,Curt Simon,"WOW, what a great place. All of our delegation where absolutely happy with this amazing place. Conversation, Preparation and Support were as professional as friendly. Thank you so much that we were able to rent your house for SXSW."
726354,28316936,2015-03-22,10679396,Jake,"The house was beautiful and spacious. Alexandria was readily available for questions through our stay. A quick 25 minute walk from downtown or 5-10 minute bike ride, this was a perfect SXSW retreat for our party of 10."
726354,41695688,2015-08-08,31112890,Aaron,"Great house, big and cosy! Really cool layout and the airstream was pretty awesome! Alexandria was great to work with, she would respond to messages with 10-15 min which was great!  "
726354,45960929,2015-09-07,38576605,Daniel,Stayed here for Labor Day weekend and had an absolute blast! Great location!
726354,48501462,2015-09-27,9129916,Brett,"The house was AMAZING! Cute part
of town, amazingly decorated and super clean! The airstream was beautiful and the master suite was amazing! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place to any large groups! We had to lyft all over town but all the Austin lyft drivers were super nice. We were all very happy with Alexandria and this experience! Thank you so much! "
726354,49790803,2015-10-06,8004478,Jeff,"Me and a bunch of friends went to Austin for ACL and had one of the best weekends we have ever had! It was so nice to come home to a house just 5 minutes from the bar district (close enough for make it easy but not in the middle of the mess) and just relax on the porch all night. With three bathrooms, 4 beds, a large couch, and a fully furnished airstream in the back yard there was plenty of room for us all to stretch out and be comfortable. Every one of us was thrilled on the house and if we can rally another crew that big for next year we will definitely be back to this house! "
726354,49980410,2015-10-08,4041330,Tara,Alexandria provided us with a list of great places to check out nearby before our arrival! She was a breeze to book with - no headaches or back & forth. She is well prepared & professional & made this leg of our trip so much easier!
726354,50439227,2015-10-12,28723952,Leo,Alexandria was an attentive host and the space was as advertised. She left us great suggestions and the location is phenomenal - 10 minutes from downtown. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place with a large group in Austin.
726354,51126165,2015-10-18,40594332,Carly,"Great house in Austin, super charming and comfortable- "

934389,3824378,2013-03-18,5323044,Kenisha,"We had a fantastic stay in Texas! Blanca and Christian were great hosts and very accommodating. Christian was only there the last day of our stay but was easy to communicate with during the booking process and very flexible. They arranged rides for us to and from the airport. In the mornings we were welcome to coffee, toast, and fruit. Blanca was available to answer any questions we had and even offered to let me use her bike since we didn't have a vehicle to and from the downtown area. We were able to catch a bus two blocks from their house and take a quick 30 minute ride downtown. We rented bikes during our stay which was about a 45-50 minute bike ride. They have two wonderful dogs, very friendly! Overall great stay and extremely friendly couple! Thanks again! If we come back to Texas we will keep you two in mind :)!"
934389,3991876,2013-04-01,5644285,Edgar,"I loved to stay with Christian and Blanca these last days! They were amazing with me all the time. Their house is quite charming and comfortable and it is not too far from downtown. It is easy to get there and cheap. There are several buses all day long that go to that direction.
Well, I really appreciated your company and I recommend their house!
You'll have a great time, I bet you will!"
934389,4542146,2013-05-11,832045,James,"Lauryn and Ryan were kind enough to host me at the last minute for one night.  Not only were they friendly attentive hosts, Ryan, after learning of my love of Pisco and all things Peruvian, was awesome enough to whip up some exquisite pisco sours.  Their extended canine family is adorable as well.   Would recommend to any potential guests ... Lauryn and Ryan will be sure to make your stay an enjoyable one."
934389,4735201,2013-05-22,6228590,Karen,"this was great location while visiting family in the area, it worked out perfect for me. the hosts are very friendly and helpful, plus i loved the dogs, thank you again"
934389,4988138,2013-06-05,6549417,Carolyn,"Christian and Bianco were great hosts.  I enjoyed my stay at their place.  They are very nice and friendly people, and although we didn't see much of each other due to my schedule and theirs, I felt very welcome.  I would rent their place again on subsequent visits.  
Carolyn Boyd"
934389,7897465,2013-10-07,4234716,Dave,Nice place - just as described in the listing.  Christian was quick to respond to my questions and was very helpful. I only ran into Christian and his wife for a few minutes but they're very nice people (and so are their dogs!)
934389,8095346,2013-10-15,8959260,Elisa,We had a nice time staying at Christian and Blanca's house.  They had some great suggestions for things to do around Austin.  We would stay here again.

934389,8854379,2013-11-22,7097768,Yasin,"I had a great stay at Christian and Blanca's. They were very welcoming and friendly (as were there three dogs).

Austin is a great city and I would definitely like to visit again."
934389,10828008,2014-03-09,12710439,Nicole,Christian and Blanca were very relaxed and accommodating hosts and the air mattress was super comfy. I was also lucky enough to eat a fantastic breakfast Christian made plus he was nice enough to take me downtown so I didn't have to wait for the bus in the rain. I was glad to have stayed with them and their sweet dogs!
934389,10938334,2014-03-14,10968786,Lila,"Christian was a great host! My roommate and I came for SXSW on our spring break and had a great time. We came without a car and Christian kindly gave us some extremely helpful rides (airport /downtown) and explained the bus system which was fairly easy to use although a little bit of a time commitment from downtown and stopped running early so a car would be helpful for this location. Christian also offered great Austin and SXSW insider info about great places and events to checkout. While we were there we went to the special SXSW event sponsored coincidentally by Airbnb, Airbnb Park Snoop Dog brunch with Christian, really a perfect Austin sunshine-y morning, with Snoop Dog! The room was comfortable and hosts super friendly, helpful and interesting plus the coffee is great, overall a great airbnb experience and big thank you to Christian! "
934389,11015970,2014-03-17,12321476,Anthony,"My wife and I plus are dogs stayed at Christian and his wife's place during SXSW and they were great hosts!!! Not only did they communicate well but they were very accommodating with us about our arrival and departure times. The house was situated in a great location and the room was clean and comfy. Their two dogs were lovable, friendly pooches who got along with our pups without any problem. We highly recommend that when your in Austin you look them up!"
934389,11732105,2014-04-13,14137370,Jocelyn,"Christian was great. I got there and he gave me a tour of the house and really made me feel welcome and comfortable. I was given a key so I could leave and come back without any hassle. I came in for a bodybuilding event so of course I had food with me, and I had no problem using the kitchen. I really had a great experience. "
934389,11773279,2014-04-14,2670947,Diane,"Staying at Christian and Blanca's place was great. My sister and I only needed to stay in Austin for one night to see our other sister finish the MS150 and staying at their place was real easy. They were really friendly along with their dogs. I would stay there again, I also like being in south austin :)"
934389,13322234,2014-05-25,15125499,Roman,"I had a great time staying at Christian's and Blanca's house. They appeared to be super nice and friendly people, very sociable and their dogs are so sweet)))
I came from Ukraine and it was cool experience living in American family."
934389,13902944,2014-06-07,15832014,April,"Christian was a great host. He was very flexible with my schedule and my last minute needs for a place to stay.  My first night, I was very stressed and he could tell. He made dinner and invited me and was very helpful with recommendations.  He was very friendly and I was very comfortable staying at his place.  The area was very nice and convenient to local stores and attractions.  I would recommend staying with Christian if you are planning a trip in the Austin area."
934389,14004191,2014-06-09,16438345,Dustyn,"A couple of friends and I went down to Austin for the X Games and decided to give air B&b a try then we found Christians home, it was a great place to stay! The house is really nice and very welcoming almost as much as the host and the location of his house is in a safe and beautiful part of town right outside of Austin so it was quick to get to anywhere we wanted to go. His dogs are well behaved and friendly! If we ever go back to Austin we're definitely going to try and stay here again!"
934389,16520568,2014-07-28,18572391,Christina,"Christian and Blanca were very welcoming and accommodating, they really helped to make me feel welcome in a new town. The location was a nice quiet neighborhood right next to a bus line, so the ease of access was wonderful. Christian cooked breakfast for me one morning and shared fruit and tomatoes from his own garden. The dogs are super friendly and well behaved. I was able to use the fridge and freezer, which is great since I was traveling and didn't want to have to buy ice to keep my food from spoiling. I would definitely recommend others to stay with these two!"
934389,16945514,2014-08-04,7796454,Ann,"We loved our experience here!  The hosts were delightfully welcoming and friendly.  They were very knowledgable of local, entertaining spots and provided some additional information on upcoming events in the area.  When a few of us visit Austin again in the future, these hosts will definitely be on our list!"
934389,20761097,2014-10-05,20953161,Humayun,"Christian and Blanca are two of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. These guys were really welcoming and made me feel at ease the moment they opened the door. This was my first time using Airbnb and I had my reservations but these two made my stay here 10x better than a hotel. The bus is 3 min away from their house and takes one to many places in Austin plus they are really helpful in explaining routes. If I would ever visit Austin again and got a 5 star hotel stay for free I would opt to stay at their house, dead serious about this. Loved the house and the people!"
934389,22006096,2014-10-27,22523932,Phil,"Christian is a great host. His home is in a lovely neighborhood of South Austin. He and Blanca did everything to make us very comfortable and made some great recommendations on restaurants and musical venues.  He also advised us to spend some time at Zilker Park, which we loved and explored for hours. We were in Austin for only two days, but enjoyed several interesting conversations with Christian. He invited us to call him at any time with questions. We highly recommend a stay at their place."
934389,22196038,2014-11-01,1729621,Vips,"I felt very comfortable at Christian and Bianca's; almost a home away from home. It was great to have access to the kitchen - though I managed to set off the smoke detector the first time! As I was visiting family, their location was especially convenient for my needs at that time - close to the bus line(s) and also to a grocery store. I would definitely stay here again."
934389,22363263,2014-11-04,21614194,Javier,Fue muy amable. Y si corresponde el anuncio a lo que se ofrece al llegar te sientes agusto.  Buen lugar y son buenad personas  amables y amigables.
934389,22616830,2014-11-10,23002991,Rory,"It was very easy and straightforward. I simply showed up and the room was ready to go, the place was clean and tidy and felt welcoming.  The place matched the description and is in a quiet and attractive neighborhood very close (walking) to grocery/coffeeshop/drugstore etc. "
934389,24435565,2014-12-28,24379962,Art,"Super-fantastic stay. Hosts were gone for the holiday but had everything from the key to the house directions to even nice xmas cookies all organized and easy. Very clear and welcoming, thanks y'all!"
934389,27953855,2015-03-15,28404910,Lisa,The place was very nice. The bed was super comfy. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.  I couldn't have asked for nicer hosts 
934389,28379214,2015-03-23,6145778,Connor,"Christian & Blanca,
Thank you so much for your hospitality, it was above and beyond my expecation and another reason why i love AirBNB!. It was great stay in Austin and a great experience at SXSW driving, enjoy your trip to Argentina this summer and hopefully we will meet again one day!
-Connor"
934389,32086363,2015-05-13,32628659,Brandon,"Christian and Blanca were amazing hosts. They have a lovely home and are very welcoming people. It was a real pleasure to stay with them. 

"
934389,34162019,2015-06-05,29112057,Richard,Christian was an excellent host--very friendly and welcoming.  We really enjoyed staying in his home.
934389,34501806,2015-06-08,11181815,Andrea,I enjoyed my stay at Christian's and Blanca's house.  They have  a lovely house in a cute neighborhood. The house looks just like the photos.   I also had the opportunity to have an interesting conversation with Christian one morning.  I felt comfortable there and will definitely stay there on my next visit. 
934389,48349014,2015-09-25,44513644,Dana,Stayed for a week and it was amazing. Just moved here so hosts told me about cool places/events/etc. Living here for a week was really comfortable. Very kind hosts. I felt welcome. Nice room and bathroom. Two dogs (each loving with distinct personalities). Definitely recommend Christian & Blanca's Friendly House!
934389,49793709,2015-10-06,17922133,Jillian,"Christian and Blanca were great, friendly hosts! Their house was in a perfect location (very close to Zilker Park) and their dogs were very cute :)"
934389,50624651,2015-10-13,8904360,Leslie,"What a great time!! Christian and Bianca were like old friends welcoming us. Cute house, cute dogs and a great location for ex city access.  Thanks guys!!!"
934389,52263713,2015-10-27,14642513,Shashi,"Christian was very welcoming and suggested us few places to go around which were really good. It was a very pleasant stay, and we had no issues at all with the place. Thanks for being a great host!"
934389,52971650,2015-11-03,14613889,Vanessa,They were both amazing hosts. I brought along my French Bulldog who quickly became friends with their handsome pups. My friend and I felt right at home and I would definitely recommend them to anyone else! 
224956,723240,2011-11-15,763047,Deborah,"It was surpisingly and welcomingly quiet at night, close to South Congress area and downtown, and the price reasonable.  "
224956,771369,2011-12-08,1347024,Rick,"There was an issue with the property I originally booked and Joe offered to move the reservation over to another property (larger & more expensive) he manages at no additional charge to me.

The property was clean and comfortable. Good location. The owner provides a great packet of info on the area and neighborhood as well as Austin in general.

Would definitely stay in properties managed by Joe again.

Thanks for a great place. "
224956,817574,2011-12-31,1445117,Chuck,"I traveled to Austin to visit my girl friend for 10 days and wanted a unique and economical experience in the hippest part of the city.
SoCo Hideaway was just the ticket!!
It was tastefully decorated, conveniently located and also very private.  
Joe was an awesome host, having a bottle of wine delivered with perfect timing on the day we decided to dine in, also checking on our needs.  The wine fit perfectly with our evening, THANKS JOE!!!
We would absolutely rent from Joe Miller again!
"
224956,851135,2012-01-09,1246923,Heather,"The Hideaway is a small, nicely decorated, equipped and clean unit in a quiet central Austin neighborhood.  We enjoyed our stay and were always close to the spots we wanted to visit in and around the city.  We never found ourselves wishing for anywhere different.  Thank you for making it available to visitors like us!"
224956,920717,2012-02-14,233551,Carole,"We enjoyed the accomodation and our host was thpughtful, welcoming and payed close attention to detail.  The little house was immaculate.  It's also a great location.  The pleasant St. edwards College campus across the street, provided a nice place for walking.  And it's only a little over a mile into the heart of South Congress shops."
224956,948946,2012-02-26,1665768,Melissa,"Clean, sweetly decorated spot conveniently located near Mercury Hall (I was in town for a wedding there and was able to walk over!) and a short walk to the main hub of South Congress. My late night arrival was no problem and Joe was very communicative and helpful. The Hideaway lives up to it's name as you would never guess from the exterior of the building that there would be such a cute little one bedroom unit inside! Bare bones on the outside, all charm and comfort on the inside! The bed was very comfortable and I slept well - a critical item in my mind. I had a lovely time and hope to be back soon!"
224956,962008,2012-03-01,1671413,Emily,Excellent stay!  Very clean and homey- everything we could have asked for at a very reasonable price.  Highly recommend!
224956,975515,2012-03-06,557865,Joe & Liesa,"The suite had everything we needed plus so much more. Exactly as pictured and advertised. Checkin-checkout was seamless and Joe provided us with thorough and clear commuication for our stay. Most importantly, the suite was spotless. Cleaner than any hotel room I've ever stayed in! The bus to take you into downtown was only $2 for a day pass (or $10 for a whole month pass), and only 1.5 blocks away. Soco is a charming area where we spent most of our time. We will definitely book one of Joe's properties when we return to Austin.  If you're in to craft brews - we highly recommend you check out South Austin Brewing nearby! Great tour and nice brewers. Also best breakfast and coffee ever at nearby Bouldin Creek Cafe.               Thanks again Joe and Juanita!"
224956,1065354,2012-03-31,1968876,Sarah,"Our stay at SoCo Hideaway was great. The location was perfect and Joe sent a packet that thoroughly explained all of the details so nothing was left to chance. Within walking distance to shops and restaurants and with easy, ample parking, we'd definitely stay at SoCo Hideaway again. While we were there, the water heater malfunctioned so we had no hot water at first but Joe took care of it promptly and was polite and apologetic. One small drawback was that the air conditioner in the bedroom sounded like a truck engine and cycled on and off all night waking us up every time it turned on so if you aren't a very heavy sleeper, shut it off before bed."
224956,1077685,2012-04-03,1695521,Kelly,"The Hideaway Suite on South Congress was a gem. Close to a main road and bus lines, as well as car rental and great restaurants. It was quiet and cozy - just enough space for me and my husband. Wonderfully and romantically decorated and furnished. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and we were even treated with a card and bottle of wine upon entering. We were not disturbed the whole time and came and went as we pleased with no questions or bother. And this level of quality with such a reasonable price was a great combo. I would highly recommend the Hideaway Suite. "
224956,1122817,2012-04-13,2097272,Marta,"The hideaway suite was a great place to stay in Austin! It is in a great location and it is so cute on the inside. Joe was also very helpful and quick in responding. I gave him short notice but he was still able to accommodate me. I would recommend this place if you plan on
staying in Austin- it's close to the downtown area and it's in a nice neighborhood. If I go back to Austin I will definitely try to stay there again!! "
224956,1238076,2012-05-07,412849,Melissa,"Our stay at the SoCo Hideaway proved to be memorable! The house was perfect for exploring nearby South Congress, seeing bands play at the Continental Club and shops. I lived in South Austin years ago and enjoyed showing my boyfriend around Austin and this location was perfect! After long days we relaxed in the soft comfy bed and enjoyed being able to come and go. The house was clean, welcoming and the booking process went seamless with Joe! 

The owners left a lovely note and bottle of wine which we enjoyed one evening after my boyfriend proposed! Thank you for the lovely place perfect for creating memories! "
224956,1271201,2012-05-13,2056022,Kim,"I couldn't have had a better experience!  Being on a tight budget, I never would've guessed that I could stay in a place that was so nice.  The location and neighborhood were great too!  I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here when I visit Austin again.  Thanks for everything Joe!"
224956,1314575,2012-05-21,1870886,Debbie,I loved it so much I booked additional nights.  Very happy guest : )
224956,1338549,2012-05-23,1870886,Debbie,I loved it so much I booked additional nights.  Very happy guest : )
224956,1388250,2012-05-31,1601659,Meg,"Joe is very prompt and organized which is nice when booking the rental. The unit comes with cooking supplies but they are of poor quality so any kind of cooking is difficult. There are no condiments or leftover items from others who have stayed which means all of this needs to be purchased. The bed was comfortable, the towels were nice and had plenty (we stayed for a week). Overall, it was a good place to stay but didn't exceed our expectations."
224956,1425764,2012-06-06,1541499,Emily,"Joe was a great host. Although we didn't get to meet him during our stay, everything that we needed was supplied there. We saved so much money on our trip being able to cook with the utensils he provided in the kitchen. The hideaway is in a great neighborhood, so close to everywhere we needed to be. If i ever need another place to stay in Austin, this will be it."
224956,1437558,2012-06-08,1564555,Kate,"Great place! very charming and cozy. love the bathroom design, very comfortable bed. it is only good for two people. very clean. has a kitchenette, full size fridge, fresh linens, bath bar was provided, cable TV and all for a reasonable price. This place feels like homeaway from home . it also has cooking tools pots pans, plates, and utensils. bring  your own seasonings if you are going to cook. there are some posts in here that complain about how the place doesn't have seasonings to flavor cooking food which should not be a downer because most places that you rent with a kitchenette don't provide the seasonings....so i don't even know some people complain. oh and Joe left us a greeting card and wine for us to enjoy"
224956,1461114,2012-06-11,2513715,Julia,We has a wonderful stay at the Hideaway. The apartment is really comfortable and well equipped and it's located a pleasant walk away from shops and restaurants. Joe was very communicative and was extremely prompt (and cheerful!) in answering any questions. Thanks for the great trip!
224956,1511569,2012-06-18,2235841,David,"We really enjoyed the lovely Hideaway Suite. Joe is a thoughtful host and very detail oriented. Joe left us his personal guest guide for our Austin adventure, a handwritten note and bottle of wine to kick off our weekend! We would definitely stay with Joe again!  "
224956,1555022,2012-06-25,2221000,Natalie,"We LOVED our time at the Hideaway Suite. It was immaculate, warm, comfortable and inviting!  The location was perfect for us, and the responsiveness of everyone who managed/worked with the property was incredible. We will stay here during every trip to Austin going forward and will recommend our friends from NYC do the same! Thank you all so much!!"
224956,1637076,2012-07-05,632580,Mike,"Really great host. Super simple to get in and out. Joe provided a detailed welcome packet with instructions and things to do. The place was clean and chilly (nice after a long, hot day in the Austin sun)."
224956,1664419,2012-07-09,2424109,Lynnette,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway in Austin.  The location was perfect, in a quiet neighborhood and close to downtown.  The Hideaway was exactly as described when we arrived.  Nice decor, comfy bed and even a bottle of wine.  We were pleased!  The window unit air conditioner in the bedroom was a little noisy for me but didn't bother my husband.   Joe was very nice through the booking process and stay.  The Hideaway is a great little place to stay in Austin and you can't beat the price. "
224956,1724553,2012-07-16,2818301,Carissa,"My boyfriend and I stayed here and were absolutely *delighted* with the property! It was SO much better than a hotel! It was just as described, and located in a great area!! Very clean, and very quiet! Right around the corner was the S. Congress strip, and it was just a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from downtown, highways, and anything we needed. I wish there were a chain of suites like these for rent across America!  We plan on staying at one of Joe's properties for any future trips to Austin =) We're just amazed with the wonderful experience we had... Joe provided a very impressive welcome package, and was a delight to speak with.  Thank you again for the great accommodations at such a great price, and for everything else =) "
224956,1776249,2012-07-23,76698,Aarti,Perfect cozy getaway in Austin - nicely decorated and great location! We hope to come back! 
224956,1869409,2012-08-02,2499694,Hannah,We had a great stay at Joe's place. Everything is as it looks in the photos and very clean and comfortable. He was very helpful to deal with and gave good recommendations for things to check out in the area. 
224956,1919266,2012-08-07,3084671,Kamilah,"This great little place was just what I needed for a weekend getaway!  It was clean & looked exactly like the pictures.  In the welcome packet Joe provided clear directions as well as helpful referrals for things to do in the area.  My only complaint was that the bathroom was kind of warm compared to the cool bedroom, so after being in the bathroom awhile (doing hair & makeup) you can get kind of hot.  Besides that, I would definitely recommend it & I would rent one of Joe's properties again."
224956,1951687,2012-08-11,2927291,Kamil & Tash,The hideaway was an absolute delight to stay in! It was very clean and the aircon was really appreciated when coming in after a hot day. Great location! The kitchen was fully equipped and very well organised. Thank you for the thoughful card it was very welcoming :) We would definitely reccommend this place to anyone and have already passed these details on to family who are coming to Austin later on in the year. 
224956,2015507,2012-08-17,3091888,Naomi,"Really nice Hideaway. It was clean, cozy and really quiet. Everything was upto par....from the utensils to the linens to the furniture. It is ideal for only two people. The kitchen is equipped with enough stuff to whip up a gourmet meal but if that is not your style, there are lots of restaurants around. Internet connectivity was great. Joe, was very flexible, worked with me on very short notice. Gave detailed info on what I required. Pros: Easy to access, close to downtown, UT (places I needed to go), quiet, clean, enough towels for the stay, free parking at the doorstep, good price. Cons: nothing.  "
224956,2039619,2012-08-20,878552,Audrey,"The apartment was great, the location was great, the amenities were great. We had a fantastic weekend in Austin and a lot of that can be attributed to the wonderful hospitality at the Hideaway Suite. The apartment was spotless and you had everything you needed right there. Joe was a fantastic host and I recommend anyone to stay here."
224956,2170526,2012-09-02,2959932,Kris,"My girlfriend and I needed a place to stay when she came to visit for the week, and we needed something a bit on the lower price scale. We picked the Hideaway and really, I think it was the best choice for us! The rooms were adorable and cozy and Joe was super sweet and left us wine and a note! 
The kitchen was pretty much perfect for the light bit of cooking we did, and the living room area was comfy. The bathroom was really cute, too! The bed was super soft and lured us into a couple of ridiculously long lie-ins! 
We ran into the house keeper too, she was really sweet and asked if everything was okay and such, and had nothing but nice things to say about Joe and the owner. Overall, the Hideaway was exactly as advertised and absolutely a perfect fit for the two of us."
224956,2238604,2012-09-09,1445390,Dale,This place is in the perfect location and so much less expensive than a hotel room. The house was comfortable and cozy.  The recommendations from Joe for places to see and eat were spot on.  I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to be close to the action but far enough away to get some rest when needed.  Thanks Joe for making our stay very nice.
224956,2310347,2012-09-17,739972,Rachel,"my boyfriend and I were in Austin for a long weekend to find a home, and decided to give airbnb a shot because the rates are far better than any area hotels/motels AND we could cook some of our meals. it was our first experience booking with airbnb, but it was awesome overall. Joe was super responsive and his instructions were thorough. he even left us a bottle of sauvignon blanc as a welcome gift! so thoughtful (and much appreciated after a long day of travel!)

the Hideaway was exactly as described, clean, cozy, and perfect for a short stay in Austin. location is pretty prime, just a few blocks up from the hip SoCo drag, and easy access to area freeways, if you're driving. again, it was great to have a well-appointed kitchen. the bathroom was lovely.

it's so nice to have a home-base while traveling that actually feels like home! thanks to Joe for making that happen!"
224956,2369157,2012-09-22,1809936,Echoin,"The Hideaway is just as lovely as the Cottage: clean, cosy and comfortable. Highly recommended!"
224956,2453859,2012-09-30,3148618,Vincent And Eve,"Lovely place, nice and clean and in a great location!  Great communication with Joe and the welcome packet was extremely helpful.  Highly recommended!"
224956,2528592,2012-10-07,296567,Ben,"We got in late on a Saturday night, to find a beautifully decorated, autonomous space nestled beside an ordinary residential house. The Hideaway describes it perfectly. Joe was extremely responsive, and the space is close enough to the main S Congress strip (maybe 10-15 minutes' walk) to be perfect. It was also well served by bus routes, so even though we chose not to rent a car, we had no trouble getting around.

I'd recommend Joe and the Hideaway to anyone looking for an affordable, comfortable, well-connected place to stay in Austin. And I'll definitely be considering it next time I go."
224956,2694217,2012-10-23,2103805,Chloe,"The hideaway is incredibly clean and comfortable!  The location is great, about a 20 minute walk to the food trucks and trendy shops and restaurants on south Congress street, and about a 5 minute drive to downtown Austin!  I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to friends!"
224956,2769502,2012-10-31,374392,Tania,"My husband and I were delighted to find such a great space to stay for our long weekend in Austin. Joe was super friendly and helpful right off the bat and after getting past the simple exterior appearance, the Hideaway exceded our expectations. Unfortunately, Superstorm Sandy hit the east coast during our stay and we were stranded in Austin a few days longer than we'd originally intended. Joe was very compassionate and accommodating and allowed us to extended our reservation by the day, so when we did finally get a flight home, we could grab it without worrying about early cancellation fees. The Hideaway has a great, homey vibe and is in a really awesome part of town. We put our extra time in Austin to good use and explored the entire city, and SoCo was definitely our favorite neighborhood. Highly reccommend the Hideaway and would love to stay here again on our next trip to Austin!"
224956,2884052,2012-11-14,3290592,Bobbie,The hideaway was a great place to stay.  Very comfortable and the pictures are true to what the space looks like.  Quiet and close to the main strip of the SoCo district.   Highly recommend it.
224956,2925199,2012-11-20,1671233,Genriyetta,"Our hideaway in South Congress was amazing! It was located far enough off the main street to be quiet but close enough to be able to get to the bus stop in about 3 minutes. This was incredibly convenient as we were staying in Austin for the Formula 1 race and most events were downtown, a quick 15 minute bus ride away. The main drag of South Congress was even closer, about 8 minutes on the bus, a little too far to walk, but luckily the bus is only $1. The place itself was cozy with all the necessary amenities and very clean. It also must have had great insulation as we never heard the other guests staying in the main house or cottage. We had a full size refrigerator and great airconditioning, two musts in Austin, even in November. 

Joe was also very helpful with our first air b&b experience and helped us through the process. He also left us great instructions about what to expect when arriving and how to get in, and control everything we needed. He also worked with us well leading up to our trip and always responded promptly. 

Thanks for a great place to stay during our trip! It really became our home away from home!"
224956,3107015,2012-12-17,795345,Mitesh,"I am very pleased with this rental. Joe is a great host, he is prompt to answer questions and his instructions were crisp and clear. I was visiting from out of town for work and needed a place near downtown and I don't know much about Austin. Since I was driving from Cali, I needed a place to park and potentially late check in, and Joe readily accommodated my needs. His studio apartment is rather large, very nice bed, cold AC and hot heater, the bathroom is fantastic and having the convenience of a kitchen with utensils is icing on the cake for those looking to save a few bucks. The rental is located in a nice quiet area yet 500 yards away is congress ave, which leads into downtown 2 miles north, you could literally walk it or take a bus. Even before heading downtown I found a ton of restaurants and food trucks ( l love those) and lots of cafes. This unit is highly recommended for those wanting to be close distance to downtown or even South Austin, as was the case for me. "
224956,3131777,2012-12-21,795345,Mitesh,"This is my second visit to Joe's place in the hideaway. I find Joe to be extremely responsive and Joe was prompt to reply even  though my reservation request was at the last minute. The proximity of his place to downtown and easy access to the freeway to get to South Austin made this an easy choice. As I have reviewed this place in the past this is a large studio with nice kitchen, excellent bathroom, comfortable bed, and lots of appliances. It is situated in a safe and quiet area, and a nice place to come home to. I would recommend Joe as a host and his place to any one who visits Austin.  "
224956,3150768,2012-12-24,1816200,Amber,Thank you again Joe for another comfortable stay! Everything was clean and quiet. Love this location and will be booking with you again anytime I return to Austin.
224956,3328348,2013-01-11,2011754,Julie,"I visit Austin frequently and stay at Joe's properties as often as possible. I recently had the opportunity to stay at the Hideaway for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. It was  well decorated and very comfortable. I slept like a baby! The location is ideal (close to SoCo and downtown), and based on my experience, there is no better host than Joe. I highly recommend this property. "
224956,3401466,2013-01-23,678909,Alex,"My girlfriend and I were looking for a short trip to Austin to get away from the biting Wisconsin cold. We came upon the hideaway and couldn't have been happier. The hideaway was quiet, clean, private, and had all the amenities we could ask for. It was located within a short walk of the trendy shops and restaurants of South Congress. And Joe was a kind and friendly host who provided detailed instructions for everything we needed.  Would definitely stay here again for a return trip to Austin."
224956,3416976,2013-01-26,4646423,Tani,"Small but immaculate apartment sweetly furnished.   Excellent location in a little neighborhood just off S. Congress and near the colorful boutiques, chic coffee shops and nifty restaurants of the best part of SoCo (It's a couple of miles from the apartment to the prime part of SoCo so better if you have a car).  My unit was in the same building as the 2-bedroom apartment my daughters stayed in, which was handy and fun.

I certainly will stay here again the next time I plan an Austin (website hidden).  Music lovers be sure to stop by the Continental Club on S. Congress Ave.
"
224956,3453242,2013-02-01,2011754,Julie,"I am a frequently returning guest who loves staying at Joe's properties. He is a very attentive host. The units are immaculate, comfortable, and well-decorated, and the location is ideal. Highly recommended. "
224956,3482454,2013-02-05,3502725,Gregor,"We haven't met the host in real but as it was all so well organized there was no need, the apartment was clean, we had a car and drove to downtown every time we went there, we felt really good and would def come back again!"
224956,3559055,2013-02-17,398020,Jim,"What a great place to stay!  We read that it was small, but for my wife and I it was just right.  It was clean, well supplied, and very accommodating.  The location is close to the popular SoCo area, and right across from St Edwards University.  We would definitely stay there again!"
224956,3594811,2013-02-20,4648257,Grace,"As a first time Airbnb user, and first time visitor to Austin, the Hideaway was everything that could have been desired on this long weekend. Mind you- the space is small- but for two travelers, who packed relatively lightly, the space was more than sufficient. The location, nearby SoCo, was ideal, and my boyfriend and I were very pleased to have our own space, and not be staying in a generic hotel downtown. The directions provided to us were very detailed, and helped to make the trip seamless. Would definitely return to Austin, and to the Hideaway! Thank you, Joe, for all of your help in helping us coordinate such an enjoyable weekend away."
224956,3620662,2013-02-26,4439534,Kate,"The Hideaway was the perfect spot for me to stay while in town for a conference! The location right off SoCo was convenient, and I had everything I needed for my short trip. The bed was comfy and the whole please was in wonderful condition!"
224956,3706664,2013-03-06,4611026,Eric,"Very nice small hideaway right off of South Congress. Place is very clean, and well maintained. No problems whatsoever!"
224956,3881635,2013-03-24,5355418,Annie,"The hideaway was a great way to start off our trip to Austin. Just a very quick drive or 10 minute walk to SoCo, Or a 40 min walk to downtown. It had a great balance of great location mixed with residential neighborhood feel. The private apartment was small but just enough room for me and my boyfriend and we definitely enjoyed how private we felt. It was very very clean and well taken care of, and I enjoyed the feeling of being in a ""home"" versus a mundane hotel room. It was also extremely easy and well explained how everything worked with Joe. As long as you don't mind walking a bit or driving to downtown, I would highly recommend it. "
224956,3938451,2013-03-29,5152981,Luis & Carla,"We had an absolutely phenomenal time staying at Joe's SoCo Hideaway!  Everything was very clean and well maintained, as well as inviting and comfy.  The place is so cozy that we almost wanted to stay inside during our visit.

The Hideaway is also in a great location, close to amazing places for food, the famous 'Welcome to Austin' mural, highways, and just a 5 minute drive from the action downtown... The neighborhood was safe and quiet, which made it easy to get a good night's rest.

Joe was outstanding!  I have to say he is quite organized, has an eye for quality and attention to detail.  Austin is an awesome town to visit and Joe made it even better by providing us with such a great place.  Thanks Joe!"
224956,4000900,2013-04-02,2200715,Lauren,"Overall, for the price, the Hideaway served its purpose for us and was fine. It is quite a bit farther from the action on South Congress than we would have liked, but the bus was a easy way to get down there. Crow Bar at the end of the street where the Hideaway is located is a great starting/ending point for an evening out on the town. We rented bikes as an alternative to get downtown, but be warned - it's an intense bike ride back home - uphill all the way. Amenities in the Hideaway were adequate. There *IS* a hairdryer, so you can save your suitcase space, and the steamer/iron thing is the tiniest little device you've  ever seen, so don't plan on doing any major maintenance. The wall-unit air conditioner in the bedroom is pretty noisy at night, we had to turn it off to keep from waking up every 20 mins. 

 The place is fine, and if you need to save a few bucks on lodging in Austin, it will definitely give you a nice place to serve as home base."
224956,4074078,2013-04-08,4726970,Emmelie,Next time we're in Austin we're definitely going to book accommodation via Joe. Great place. Nice and clean. Good location. 5 stars of 5 given :D
224956,4160394,2013-04-15,3107310,Emily,"Joe is a fantastic host and the 5 Star Hideaway is a lovely space.  It was just as advertised, very clean and very comfortable.  The communication from Joe from the start was amazing and left us with no questions regarding the property.  The location was perfect and we would definitely stay here again!"
224956,4205286,2013-04-18,2011754,Julie,"I love the Hideaway. It's well-decorated, comfortable, and quiet. The location is perfect - in a quiet neighborhood - just a short walk (10 minutes) to the heart of South Congress. You also couldn't find a better host than Joe. He's quick to respond and very attentive to guest satisfaction. I try to stay at his properties any time I'm in town. Highly recommended!"
224956,4247562,2013-04-22,1132711,Georgia And Matt,"The Hideaway was perfect; a meticulously clean, safe, and thoughtfully appointed place to call home when we visited South Austin. I grew up in the area, so in lieu of a generic, overpriced hotel, I wanted to stay somewhere with neighborhood warmth and nostalgia — and bingo, this was it!

As a host, Joe is fantastic and super-responsive. We knew he'd be available in person if we ever needed him, but the welcome packet and tips he provided beforehand were enough to prepare us for a great weekend on our own, and to give us a sense of ownership and privacy.

Thank you so much, Joe."
224956,4587154,2013-05-13,6213015,Rhiannon,Great little place in an excellent location. Just minutes from the SoCo drag and downtown. The place was neat and we wanted for nothing. Highly recommended.
224956,4707313,2013-05-21,3685283,Cristina,"It's been almost a month since I stayed at the Hideaway and I still find myself thinking about what a great place it is and what a great experience it was staying there.  

The location is great.  There is parking if you have a car, a major bus route on South Congress just a short walk up the street, and also within walking distance of places to eat, drink, and shop.  But it also really is a Hideaway on a quiet street so it's really peaceful and quiet.  The place is spotlessly clean with nice bed linens and towels.  Wifi is good throughout.  Bathroom has a shower with great water pressure and a nice tub to relax in too.  There is both air-conditioning and ceiling fans.  Full sized stove and fridge if you want to buy some groceries and cook along with all you will need to prepare food.

My only interaction with Joe and Bella was through emails before I arrived.  They have a very thorough and clear welcome packet and I didn't have any problems.

I like the little decorating touches and felt at home the minute I walked in the door.  I would highly recommend the Hideaway and would definitely stay there again."
224956,4788299,2013-05-26,5759317,Meghan,"Hideaway was everything we we're looking for during our short stay in Austin. It was very clean and cozy for two people, easy to access, and while it was a short driving distance from Downtown, it was a quick drive to anywhere you'd like to see while in town.   I would highly recommend this property and would without hesitation stay here or at any other of Joe and Bella's properties in the future. While we never saw them, they responded promptly with any questions and everything was readily available with ease."
224956,4854531,2013-05-28,3859163,Bill,"The Hideaway is a nice get away on SoCo. Everything was perfect. It's just over 2 miles to Downtown/Lady Bird Lake via SoCo. I felt safe walking in the area both day and night.

Thank you Joe and Bella for a wonderful place to stay! I will stay here again on my next visit."
224956,4939608,2013-06-03,4331581,Alyssa,"The Hideaway was completely perfect for a weekend girlfriend getaway in Austin.  It was clean, comfortable and the location was super convenient.  The heart of SoCo was about a 25 minute walk, and when it got too hot, there was a bus stop right at the end of the street. Joe and Bella left very clear instructions on check-in and check-out and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.  We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to Austin!"
224956,4985905,2013-06-05,6379105,Jerry,"The hideaway was wonderful loved every second of it. The room was spotless and the location is perfect. Lots of privacy but close to everything. I hated leaving. it felt so cozy all I wanted to do was stay in ;) the hosts were very responsive and helpful on the reservation side, but since everything was perfect that is the only time I needed to contacted them. Will definitely recommend to hideaway to my friends and will make plans to stay there next time were in Austin. Thank you Joe & Bella "
224956,5088345,2013-06-11,6275915,Richard,A cosy little hideaway down the road from SOCO we both had a great time in Austin and to come home to a house and not a hotel was wonderful.
224956,5134185,2013-06-14,6600445,Jennifer,"We stayed in the Hideaway for 3 nights and felt very comfortable.  The location is convenient just a block off of SoCo, just south of all the shops and restaurants. Some people said they would walk, but we personally drove everywhere, because we stayed Monday - Thursday and parking was not a problem downtown.  I'm not sure we would've walked very far in the summer heat anyhow, but there are also convenient bus stops on Congress as well.  

As far as the actual room we were very pleased.  It felt like home and besides a few instances with the neighbors (and their dog) in the house next door, it was very quiet.  Like others have said, the air conditioner in the bedroom was a bit louder than we would've liked, which was fine for us if it stayed on or off.  We kept the fan on continuous while we slept (otherwise it woke us up all night).  The bed was comfortable, except we were needing an extra pillow or two.  They were the kind of pillows that deflate not long after lying on them, so they required a lot of fluffing and repositioning.  Next time we will bring our own.  

The bathroom was very nice and clean.  The towels were velvety soft and pleasant smelling.  The only toiletries provided were toilet paper, a bath bar and hand soap, so make sure that you come prepared.  

We didn't use anything in the kitchen besides the fridge, but it appeared to be stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils for cooking a nice meal.  

To review: We most enjoyed the comfortable feeling of home and the towels they provided.  It is definitely small and cozy, so no more than 2 people is right.  The parking was convenient and reliable, which is perfect when you're coming and going.  Our only complaints were the pillows and the air conditioner disturbing our sleep.  Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.  We highly recommend this room and we will probably explore the other rooms offered by Joe & Bella on this same property next time.  Thank you!

"
224956,5382570,2013-06-27,6048700,Alex,"The Hideaway was a great little place. The apartment itself was immaculate and super cosy- it would be a really nice place for a couple to go. The location was perfect. It is right at the top of South Congress Avenue, and it is a lovely walk down the street through the SoCo neighborhood into the city. We had a car but didn't need to use it, there were lots of buses that stopped close by if you didn't want to walk. There is also a great bar at the top of the street which was very friendly (like all of Austin) and had a great buzz. The perfect place to end the day. I would stay here again. We didn't met Joe and Bella but they were super helpful and made it very easy."
224956,5458129,2013-07-01,6447315,Cathy,"It was absolutely what we were looking for. Clean, comfortable and very nicely (email hidden)e and Bella made sure that we had everything that we needed for our stay. I even loved the smell of the towels!!!! All of the information that was provided  prior to our arrival was very helpful to us.
We needed a weekend away and thats what we got. Privacy, relaxation and fun. THANKS!!! We will be back !!!!"
224956,5608541,2013-07-08,978854,Bill,"The Hideaway is really well located for visiting the sites of Austin and getting to and from the airport (assuming you have a rental car). It is exactly as described on the site and well equipped. It is nicely decorated, in great condition, and comfortable. It was perfect for a couple. We would definitely stay at the Hideaway again the next time we travel to Austin to visit our son."
224956,6077680,2013-07-29,2873899,Kari,"We came to Austin to be married and stayed in the most adorable quaint romantic room. Joe & Bella were so helpful with everything. Assisting with reservations, answering any and all oft questions quickly and went way beyond to try to accommodate us. Staying with them made things so easy. They have thought of everything you may need during your stay in rooms. Full details about the area to make your stay enjoyable. It truly is a home away from home feeling, relaxing & beautifully decorated. We could not have asked for better. Highly highly recommend them. And looking forward to staying again with them when we return to Austin to visit family.  Thank you so much for your hospitality.

224956,6404984,2013-08-11,7692729,Meghan,"Joe and Bella's SoCo Hideaway was great! We were first time airbnb users, and could not have been more pleased with our experience. The Hideaway was clean,cozy, and close to good restaurants and night life. We felt safe and enjoyed the quiet comfort of the place. I would absolutely recommend Joe and Bella's propeties to friends and look forward to being able to stay with them again in the future!"
224956,6542493,2013-08-16,7813159,Manuel,Had a wonderfull time at the hideaway. 
224956,6784558,2013-08-25,4701750,Abbas And Sara,"The hideaway is in a great location right next to a bar and some stores. My girlfriend and i stayed here for a few days for a wedding we were attending in Austin and our stay couldn't have been more comfortable. The apartment has everything you would need, a kitchen, cable TV, a fully stocked bathroom and a comfortable large bed. The apartment has a parking spot for itself as well. I will definitely consider the hideaway if I'm back in Austin again!"
224956,7439200,2013-09-20,2011754,Julie,The hideaway is a great property and Joe and Bella are fantastic hosts. I stay at one of their places as often as possible when I'm in town. Highly recommended!
224956,7914839,2013-10-08,2956423,Samantha,"We had a great time staying at Joe & Bella's place during this year's ACL. Getting to the place and getting settled was a cinch, and the apartment was a perfect size for us - clean, cute, and had everything you need. It's also conveniently located near SoCo and easy access to the bus stop which we used to get to the free ACL shuttle downtown. I would absolutely recommend this place for your next trip to Austin! "
224956,8080119,2013-10-15,6357092,Elizabeth,"Joe and Bella's SoCo Hideaway was a great home base for us to explore Austin and attend the Austin City Limits music festival.  It's the perfect spot for a couple who want to have a spot for themselves, and it had everything we needed.  The welcome packet emailed in advance was very helpful, including detailed arrival/departure details and local recommendations.  We took the bus to get around town, which was right at the corner and followed its schedule pretty closely.  The Crow Bar on the corner was great to stop for a nightcap on your way home, and the close-by SoCo neighborhood was fun to walk around and browse.  Overall, I highly recommend for a cozy homebase in Austin."
224956,8251066,2013-10-22,5209725,Daniel,"Joe and Bella's place was perfect for our stay in lovely Austin. They are very organized and clear with expectations, and their place was very clean and cozy. An added bonus is that there is a wonderful, independent ice cream shop around the corner. Nice, quiet neighborhood also. Great place!"
224956,8338963,2013-10-26,5991879,Joyce,"I really enjoyed my stay at the Hideaway. It's a cute, cozy place in a great location. Joe and Bella are very helpful and organized. I would definitely stay here again!"
224956,8372725,2013-10-28,587934,Lisa,"Joe and Bella's lovely little gem of a home is our favorite place to stay in Austin. It is nestled in a quiet little neighborhood right across South Congress from St. Edward's University, and provides a wonderful, private retreat for rest and relaxation from the hubbub of Austin's shopping, nightlife, and many fun events. We always breathe a sigh of relief when we arrive at the home because we know all our needs will be met! A fully-stocked kitchen, with spotless amenities such as a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker, extra linens (which smell heavenly), a hair dryer, a flat-screen TV, and beautifully decorated surroundings make us feel at home and well-cared for. We could easily stay a week or a month in this well-appointed property - highly recommended for singles, couples, or extended families since they have several individual cottages/spaces at the home, with off-street parking included. Perfect location, very reasonable price and guaranteed comfort!"
224956,8437451,2013-10-30,3067964,Michael,Nice place; very clean; very easy!
224956,8493095,2013-11-02,9630982,Leanne,"Had a wonderful stay here - the perfect getaway. It was lovely and quiet but close enough to all the action on SoCo. Had everything I needed, was very clean and extremely comfortable. Would definitely stay here again and recommend the place to anyone. Thanks! "
224956,8525533,2013-11-04,7992224,Lisa,What a great place!  Everything you need in a cozy hideaway.  We slept well and had a wonderful time.  Being so close to SoCo was such fun.
224956,8615850,2013-11-08,9664930,Corey,"Staying at Joe & Bella's was awesome. I was able to check-in seamlessly, and was delighted at what I found inside - a wonderful hideaway replete with all the furnishings and extras fit for a king (or queen). It is quaint, extremely well-kept, and is the perfect place for one or two (maybe even three) people to stay for a great time in Austin. My walk from downtown to the Hideaway was less than an hour even with frequent stops for pictures. The fixtures are superb - I can't recall the last time I used such a great shower. Also numerous nice touches that make you feel at home. 

I met Bella briefly one morning, and I could instantly tell how generous and kind she is, even though just talking for a second. Another great aspect of the Hideaway is the great neighborhood, and it's proximity to Torchy's tacos (which I frequented all too much due to the 5 minute walk). 

Would definitely stay again. Thanks Joe & Bella!"
224956,8786791,2013-11-18,4517696,Christina,"Great location, very clean, well decorated and welcoming.  My husband and I visited Austin for the weekend and very much enjoyed the stay.  The bed was comfortable, the property- well maintained, modern and updated furnishings, nice kitchen with everything that you would need. Crow Bar and Torchy's Tacos were great places to eat/drink and very close by.  Rent a bike and have fun!! We will be back!  "
224956,8836284,2013-11-20,9630988,Denise,"Just got back from my Austin vacation. Joe and Bella's place was very clean, located right down the street from many local restaurants and activities. I ended going by myself and felt very safe. I especially liked the fact that it was so affordable compared to the hotels in the area. The pictures posted on line were exactly what I found upon my arrival; very clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was close to all the outdoor activities I planned. I would definitely stay here again or rent one of there other properties. "
224956,8870508,2013-11-23,2011754,Julie,Love Joe & Bella and their properties. Great hosts! Great location and great value. Highly recommended. 
224956,8946295,2013-11-27,6951228,Ivar,"Joe and Bella's SoCo Hideaway was a great little place. Everything that we needed was provided. The place was easy to find, and the off street parking was very convenient. They provided a welcome packet that made our after midnight arrival smooth and very easy. They had left the heating on, so the apartment was nice and cozy when we arrived. Even though everything was great, they took the extra step of asking us if everything was ok after a day or two - a sign of an excellent host. There are plenty of local shops within walking distance, and its a 5 mins drive to downtown.  Overall a very nice experience. I would recommend this place to anyone. "
224956,9013717,2013-12-02,7442607,Alan,"The Hideaway was exactly as advertised. It was perfect for what my wife and I were looking for. Very clean, affordable, centrally located. The apartment is just blocks away from great shopping and restaurants. It was immaculately maintained and well stocked with all the creature comforts of home. We would definitely recommend the Hideaway and will likely look to rent again if we return to Austin. "
224956,9215330,2013-12-14,10070946,Janice,"The hideaway was the best!!! Joe and Bella are amazing hosts. I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the apartment it smelled and looked amazingly fresh and clean. The apartment is super cozy and homey. I stayed there for 11 days (on my own) and was perfectly comfortable. The fact that they have a full fridge, dishes, etc. was really great for a longer term stay. The place is about a mile or so from the ""hub"" of south congress (bars and restaurants) and another mile from downtown.  Therefore, I'd recommend a rental car. There are busses but I never took those so I can't speak to that.  I would definitely recommend The Hideway as a great place to stay for your trip to Austin. "
224956,9306273,2013-12-20,2011754,Julie,"I am a return guest to the hideaway. This property is very cozy, quiet, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, and Joe and Bella are fabulous hosts. I highly recommend this, and all, of their properties. "
224956,9426055,2013-12-28,10033917,Gregory,"A very quiet little bungalow, yet still close to lots of stuff to do in Austin. Would absolutely stay again."
224956,9721897,2014-01-06,10279086,Isaac,My experience with the Hideaway was superb and exactly what I expected! I was coming in for the weekend with my girlfriend and was looking for a quiet getaway spot to relax and enjoy the diverse culture and food that Austin has to offer. The location is great. It's a bit south on South Congress but only ~15 min walk away from the hub of stores/restaurants. Joe and Bella are great with communication/instruction. The Hideaway is very clean and cozy. Definitely recommend the spot and will come back!
224956,9829209,2014-01-13,941328,Alexandra,"This was my second stay with Joe & Bella; same location, different property - my first stay was at the Cottage which was adorable & lovely for a yoga retreat weekend I had in Austin; this time I was with my boyfriend and we chose the Hideaway for a little more space. Like the Cottage, the Hideaway is impeccably decorated, clean and charming. We ran into Bella one day during our stay and she was as lovely in person as she & Joe are in their written communication. "
224956,10073564,2014-01-28,11023658,Alex,"We had a great time on our trip! This house was clean, organized, and near everything worth visiting. One night we walked over to Torchy's Tacos and stuffed ourselves into oblivion. Another night we took a 5 minute drive over to Stubb's and saw live music. 

I highly recommend this apartment and location. Thank you Joe and Bella! "
224956,10117162,2014-02-01,246229,Amanda,We really enjoyed our stay at The Hideaway. It is a great space in a fantastic location.  We enjoyed eating in and exploring the neighborhood. We would definitely stay again! 
224956,10174935,2014-02-04,8197433,Kate,"Our weekend was wonderful!  The SoCo Hideaway was just as we remembered it:  clean, neat, and beautifully decorated!  The neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful.  The hideaway is within walking distance to several shops and restaurants.  My husband, Jerry, was so surprised and excited when I told him about our much needed getaway to Austin.  Thank you, Joe and Bella, for helping me make this a wonderful birthday surprise for him!  We can't wait to visit again!"
224956,10294770,2014-02-11,8750239,Victoria,"A perfect place for us to stay in Austin. Just blocks away from the scene  of South Congress and easy access to anywhere else in Austin. The apartment is super cozy and refreshingly clean -- perfect place to wind down and wake up in. A cool bar is less than a block away for a night cap. Our hosts spared no detail, and made our first trip to Austin a truly great experience. "
224956,10604778,2014-02-27,11797676,Andy,"Karen and I enjoyed our stay at Joe and Bella's Hideaway. We stayed a week while visiting Austin with the intention of scoping it out for possible re-location. The ""Hideaway"" is conveniently located to several restaurants within walking distance and just 1 block from public transportation. We took the bus almost everyday down Congress Ave to the famous ""SoCo strip"" and downtown. It was a real convenience to have such a nice place to stay that was so well located. 

We will definitely stay here again when we return to Austin. Joe and Bella were very responsive to all our questions and needs. Really great hosts!!! You will not be disappointed with any of Joe and Bell's properties.

Thanks. "
224956,10680421,2014-03-03,614465,Kercy,"The Hideaway was VERY CLEAN and decorated nicely.  It's very private and easy to get in and out.  Parking is right in front of the unit so you don't have to carry your luggage too far.  There were plenty of towels and they were soft.  **One thing you must know, if you have an allergy to fabric softeners, please contact the owners prior to your stay to ask them not to use the fragranced sheets**.  Your better off if you only bring small pieces of luggage since it's a small place.  Not too small for comfort though.  It is so conveniently located to the downtown area of Austin.  Cleaning Goddess, Juanita, is delightful and will enchant you with interesting stories about the area.  Kitchen area is exactly as it is shown in the pictures and stocked with everything you might need for a quick small meal.  The only thing that didn't work for ME was the pillow situation since I have a bad back and needed an extra pillow for under my knees.  If you have any special needs, contact the owners and I'm sure they will be happy to accommodate your special needs.  They are very kind and wish for your experience to be a positive one.  They take extra care to be sure the tenants are respectful, clean and desirable candidates for their treasured home.  If you're not desirable and leave the place as nice as you find it, please find some other place to trash since this is a very nice home!!! "
224956,10917955,2014-03-13,10449802,Holly,Host was gracious and helpful. Hideaway was cozy and tidy. Easy access to South Congress and Downtown via Austin's bus system. 
224956,11031690,2014-03-17,11077109,Ty,"My time at the Hideaway was my first stay with an AirBnB host and it was an incredible stay.  I had no idea what to expect and The Hideaway was all I expected and far more.  I go to Austin frequently and this was considerably better than most hotels I have stayed in while visiting.

The place itself was extremely clean, well appointed, and in a fantastic location in Austin.    I felt safe and public transit downtown and elsewhere was easily available (cabs came in less than 15 mins, #1 and #801 buses were very easy to catch).   Joe and Bella had very detailed and easy to follow notes and  suggestions.  They responded quickly to all of my questions and were very nice. 

In addition to the their preparation and beautiful home, Bella helped me when I got separated from my group and went out of her way to ensure I was OK on my third night in town. I was and will remain incredibly grateful for their help and would absolutely stay at the Hideout again. If you are considering a trip, I highly recommend The Hideout.  Thank you so much Joe and Bella!!!  "
224956,11119029,2014-03-21,2262440,Rick,"This apartment is exactly as advertised, and is a comfortable and convenient spot to stay in Austin. Off-street parking is a plus! 

We found that the scheduling was quick and easy, with prompt responses from the host. We liked the fact that this place is located off the main street, and the neighborhood is safe and quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much."
224956,11470084,2014-04-04,4545036,Koos,The SoCo Hideaway was a pleasant place to stay. In a quiet and safe neighbourhood and still minutes away from downtown and the nice restaurants on South Congress. The house was very nice furnished and clean and it was a pleasure to stay there for a week. We surely recommend this place for a stay in Austin and think we will be back.
224956,11551581,2014-04-07,13113379,Elizabeth,"I went with my best friend to Austin for a moms' get away. We found the 'Hideaway' and we were so pleased. It is my first time on Airbnb, and I feel like I hit the jackpot. The room was clean, cozy and very reasonably priced. The location is very quite, but so close to everything happening on Congress st. We met the owner Bella who was very kind and accommodating. This is a place I would recommend to all coming through Austin!"
224956,11741109,2014-04-14,11976257,Amy,"The Hideaway fit our needs sufficiently. It's a little small, but provides plenty of room for 2 people. The apartment is clean, well-kept, and in a nice neighborhood off of S. Congress. The hosts answered any questions I had in a prompt and professional manner and provided easy check-in/check-out instructions. If you want to stay in South Austin, consider Joe and Bella's SoCo Hideaway."
224956,12341738,2014-04-29,10553867,Michael,"This place was exactly what we were looking for. It had everything we needed, was very clean, and in a great location.  Not to mention the tremendous price, for a long weekend in Austin.  Would definitely stay here again."
224956,12621712,2014-05-06,13502465,Clare,"I have never used airbnb before and this place was perfect! It's in a pretty quiet and nice neighborhood but still decently close to downtown. The apartment was very cleaned and well equipped with everything we could possibly need. We met Bella, who was very kind and had provided us with helpful hints as to places/ restaurants to check out. We had a really wonderful experience in Austin and would love to stay here again in the future!"
224956,12757643,2014-05-10,7206545,Rick,"OMG - What a beautiful cottage! Spacious, warm & best of all in great location! Walk to all the shops and restaurants on SOCO. Awesome bar just 5 houses away!, Met Bella & her cute pup, what great ""people"" people. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!!!  "
224956,13180542,2014-05-21,12303825,Mike,"We had a great experience while in Austin.  The place provided to use by Joe and Bella was a lot better than staying in a cookie cutter hotel.  The space was great and the location of the Hideaway is perfect to be able to explore the entire city of Austin.  Joe and Bella provided us everything we needed to have a nice, comfortable stay.  I would highly recommend staying here when planning to explore the city Austin."
224956,13417605,2014-05-27,13649513,Grace,"Joe and Bella's place was great. Very clean and nicely set up. The place was a little smaller than expected, but for the price and amenities it is much better than a hotel. The location is great, very close to the hippest places of Austin. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Joe and Bella, but they were prompt in answering all of my questions. I would definitely stay again in the future."
224956,13791326,2014-06-04,13782242,Brian,"Staying at the cozy hideaway with my girlfriend this past week was wonderful! The place was just as advertised, the welcome packet was very helpful, and we loved the South Congress area. The place was charming and perfectly fit the needs for our trip. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from Joe + Bella again."
224956,13975210,2014-06-09,15559767,Annie,"This was the first time experiencing a stay aside from a hotel and I will say that this was the best decision my partner and I made. We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at our little Hideaway. We felt like we were at home. We will definitely continue to book here. 
Everything was perfect! 
   - Very Clean
   - Very well organized 
   - Well stocked
   - Comfortable and extremely Cozy 
    
"
224956,14290183,2014-06-16,15446265,Hillary,"Everything was perfect and the space was private and comfortable. It was such a pleasure to stay at the hideaway and was in a fabulous location too! It was a better experience than being in a hotel, especially during a busy weekend in Austin. I'm sure I would have not slept well at an overcrowded hotel!
I stayed five days and no issues.
"
224956,14797702,2014-06-26,16662226,Dara,"My stay at the Hideaway was great! This was my first time using airbnb, and I had the most wonderful experience renting from Joe & Bella. The hideaway was exactly as described, cozy, very clean, and perfect for (2) my mom and I. It was like we had our own little place in the city. The location was great, right between 1st and S Congress making it easy to get to all the hot spots. The welcome package they sent made check-in/check-out a breeze, and the recommendations for places to eat was spot on. I especially loved, Guero's Taco Bar! Loved Austin and loved staying here. "
224956,15458587,2014-07-09,9953891,John,"We loved the Hideaway mostly for its apartment-style layout: kitchen, living room area, bathroom all flowing nicely in one long beautifully-decorated sweep. The bedroom was separate from the rest of the apartment, quiet and dark - excellent for sleeping in, which we did a bit before heading to Deep Eddy most days.  Very adequately air conditioned and exceptionally arrayed for at-home-like vacation living, the Hideaway was a cool and comfortable place to stay.  Joe and Bella, as always, are the best kinds of hosts, as gracious and conscientious as you could hope for."
224956,16559866,2014-07-29,13645414,Moe,"The listing was exactly what is pictured, and what I expected. You can tell that Joe & Bella have been doing this for quite some time, and they provide meticulous instructions on dos/don'ts to avoid conflicts. They  even prepare a welcome package containing travel suggestions. I was very impressed by the hideaway - it was so cozy and a perfect getaway for a couple. The area was quiet but also conveniently located to many things in Austin so that we were never very far away. Though I did text Joe/Bella twice during my stay without receiving any response, Joe was very communicative through email prior to my visit. (To be fair, the texts were for minor things, for instance there was no sponge in the kitchen so I found it difficult to wash/scrub a pot, and hence left the pot unwashed in the sink, sorry!). Would gladly come and visit again. "
224956,17413257,2014-08-11,13445333,Nadine,"The hosts made everything very straightforward and clear before and upon arrival. The neighbourhood was pleasant, the apartment was well equipped and as expected for the price. We would be happy to stay there again."
224956,18829768,2014-09-01,6000475,Amanda,"Joe and Bella were wonderful hosts, professional and warm. The Hideaway was cozy, very clean, and much better than any hotel!
The location is perfect for hanging around south Congress or downtown, and being able to walk down to Crow Bar was a plus! Honestly, I hope to always stay at their properties when I stay in Austin for fun.  It felt like home. "
224956,19099732,2014-09-06,4363395,Casey,"The Guest Villa is so charming and comfortable, furnished with a great mix of traditional furnishings in warm tones, antiques, and great linens.  Such an enjoyable stay!"
224956,19224852,2014-09-08,7992224,Lisa,Excellent communication with owners.  They provide good instructions and a very informational welcome packet.  This is our second stay and we hope to return again.
224956,19647110,2014-09-15,21027896,Jonathan,"Joe and Bella's guest villa was our very fist experience with Airbnb, and it could not have gone any smoother or been more pleasant.  The welcome packet they sent was well thought out and very informative in addition to being very specific about host and guest duties (a very helpful thing when you're a first-time guest with a lot of questions).  The guest villa/hideaway itself was a great place to stay and both my wife and I appreciated the the ability to park right outside, the proximity to the SoCo district, and the all the great amenities that made it feel like a home away from home.   Once we had settled in, it was obvious just how much thought and attention Joe and Bella put into their Airbnb properties.  The wife and I were beyond pleased with our selection and will definitely look into booking the Hideaway on our next trip to Austin."
224956,20109224,2014-09-23,3139472,Eric,"It was my first time in Austin and I could have not picked a better place to stay.  The house had a modern touch and a quaint feel that was perfect.  The neighborhood was quiet and safe and had a great bar, The Crow, at the end of the block which was either a first or a last stop of every night.  Say, ""Hi, from Eric from California"" to Lindsey the bartender for me. The bus stop was a block away which took less than 10 mins to get to any part of downtown. I definitely would stay here again!"
224956,20265718,2014-09-26,8956330,Ray,"Can't say enough positive things about Joe & Bella's place. Clean, convenient, hassle-free, quiet, and all the amenities we needed. Will definitely stay here again when we return to Austin."
224956,20846352,2014-10-06,9402341,Sabrina,Super cozy flat with an awesome location. Joe and Bella were very thorough and communicative through the whole booking process; check-in and check-out were a breeze. The flat is very clean and the bed was super comfy. We especially loved the fast Internet and strong A/C. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to Austin.
224956,21219638,2014-10-13,3473814,Michelle,"Staying at Joe and Bella's place was amazing. We loved the location, cute little apartment, and the accommodations. It was very clean when we arrived and everything was exactly as it stated on the listing. It made our stay very easy and relaxing. I would definitely go back and sure hope I can! If you want a comfortable and cozy place in Austin - this is it :)"
224956,21640797,2014-10-20,12182532,Josh,A very nice and clean place. Has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. Close to a lot of activities. Good communication and a very smooth transaction. Would definitely stay here again.
224956,22026173,2014-10-28,15010511,Walter,"This was my second time staying at one of Joe & Bella's properties, and it was another wonderful experience.  The place is exactly as described - very cute, very clean, and located in a quiet but conveniently-located neighborhood on South Congress.  I'm the type who enjoys travelling by foot/bike/public transportation, all of which were convenient for me from this location (although your mileage may vary when it comes to walking - I also enjoy endurance running).  If riding the bus isn't your thing, I would recommend you get a car if you are staying here since the driving and parking in Austin is pretty easy, at least compared to the Northeast.  Tons of great food within a mile or two, easy access to downtown, and great hosts - you really can't beat this place.  Highly recommended!"
224956,22282552,2014-11-02,12811223,Shaun,Great little apartment in a great location. Exactly what we needed for our brief stay in Austin.
224956,22907166,2014-11-17,22906215,Stephanie,"I'm so pleased with my first Airbnb experience with Joe and Bella's guest villa! The apartment was super clean and comfy-exactly what we were looking for. The bed was super comfortable. It's in a great location, and the welcome packet they sent prior to my arrival was very helpful. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Austin!"
224956,25420621,2015-01-15,5256115,Teresa,Great stay and great host!!
224956,26712053,2015-02-17,1343738,Erick,"Joe & Bella provided us with quick feedback on availability, gave us even more detail about the area before we committed, and provided a *thorough* welcome packet with how-tos for the cottage, key locations around the city and recommendations on where to eat and what to do. The cottage itself was perfect – just as described – and we had a wonderful, care-free stay. I would highly recommend Joe & Bella as hosts and I imagine they are just as attentive at all their other properties, too."
224956,27345904,2015-03-02,6443566,Lucas,Joe & Bella were excellent.  Everything was set up to be super easy and they left lots of helpful information.  The villa had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay and was in a great location -- it was easy to walk to things on South Congress and to get on the bus to get around the city.  A great place to stay and at such an affordable price -- would definitely return.   
224956,28576621,2015-03-26,1104569,Max,Great stay. Small cozy base perfect for exploring Austin during SXSW. Many thanks to Joe and Bella for putting us up at short notice.
224956,28672897,2015-03-28,1531402,Bronsky,This was a great choice. We were able to feel right at home. The home is everything that was described. It is in a great location. It was very easy to get around Austin from this home. We definitely recommend Joe and Bella's Hideaway for any couple that is planning to vist Austin. 
224956,29208480,2015-04-05,4363395,Casey,"The guest villa is so nice- feels just like home.  nice to have a fridge and microwave, and the living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring Austin!"
224956,29708554,2015-04-11,5256115,Teresa,Great stay! Great hosts as always!! 
224956,29874047,2015-04-13,2118236,Yuning,"The Hideaway was clean, conveniently located. Communication was quick from them. Would stay there again!"
224956,30367057,2015-04-20,20110260,Maggie,"Just like joe and bellas other bungalow we stayed in, this was perfect. Just the right size for 2 and close to town. Clean, organized and very detail oriented. Had a blast! "
224956,30628910,2015-04-25,4363395,Casey,The Guest Villa is a perfect home-way-from-home for me!
224956,30817352,2015-04-27,2206454,Rebecca,"The hosts were friendly and the accommodations were just fine, especially given how affordable. The location couldn't be beat."
224956,31402262,2015-05-04,12704267,Thomas,"Joe and Bella's place was awesome. The location was ideal and the place itself was really nice, comfortable and clean. Joe and Bella were very professional and organized. I had a technical issue with airbnb website when booking through the phone app (airbnb's issue not Joe and Bella's) but Joe and Bella were extremely patient and helpful in getting things sorted out. I would definitely stay with them again."
224956,31991486,2015-05-12,168888,Kim,"Location was central. Place perfectly sized for a couple. The floors were a bit messy (not vacuumed) when we came in, but other than that, it was perfectly fine for a weekend jaunt into Austin! Instructions were very thorough and easy to understand. Thanks for the hospitality! "
224956,32268352,2015-05-16,4363395,Casey,The Villa is so quaint and cozy!  Feels like being at home!  I love having a living room to unwind- something you don't get in a hotel room!
224956,33278651,2015-05-26,3083776,Taylor,"Joe & Bella's property came exactly as advertised and provided for a wonderful time in Austin! The Guest Villa was quaint and cozy, but provided all the modern comforts - A/C worked well, very nice bathroom, and all the basic commodities. The neighborhood is only a short distance (3-4 min. drive) to the heart of South Congress Avenue. A $10 Uber will get you downtown to 6th Street or Rainey Street. Although we only met Bella very briefly, arranging the stay was a very smooth process and Joe sent a reservation packet that was incredibly helpful. It included directions for check-in, check-out, parking, and a guide to the local area. I highly recommend! "
224956,34230306,2015-06-06,4363395,Casey,"The Guest Villa continues to be my home-away-from-home when I visit Austin!  I enjoy that I have a living room and a separate bedroom space, which is so much more enjoyable than a hotel room!  Having a fridge and a microwave is also nice- giving me the ability to heat up that doggy bag from the many awesome restaurants in ATX!"
224956,35003058,2015-06-14,29039739,Hsiao,"My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our visit in Austin, Texas, and it was made better by the comfort and privacy provided by Joe and Bella's place. It was everything we asked for and we were very satisfied with the accommodations. We found the location to be very close to a lot of Austin's attractions and we look forward to booking this place again when we visit Austin again in the near future. "
224956,35858297,2015-06-22,11709616,Frank,"Very nice place.  The place was just as described in the listing.  It was clean, comfortable, and in a great location."
224956,36996032,2015-07-03,4363395,Casey,"Joe & Bella continue to amaze- the Villa is always perfect- maintained to the highest standard!  My stay was perfect, as always."
224956,37382235,2015-07-06,3976663,Dawn,"The place was exactly as pictured. It is a fantastic value. It's small but certainly enough for two people. Definitely better than a hotel room. Best of all was the location! I was unfamiliar with the area of SoCo but revisiting Austin I would choose this place again. We had our bikes so we rode for 5 minutes to Annie street were the several blocks of shops, restaurants and bars began. "
224956,39690070,2015-07-25,4363395,Casey,"Guest Villa is so perfect for my business travel!  I really enjoy that I have a separate living room and bedroom, giving a more homey feel!  Joe & Bella are the BEST hosts- always keeping the Villa in tip-top shape!"
224956,42006685,2015-08-10,16434057,Taylor,"Jessi and I had a wonderful experience at the Villa. The location was great being just off of SoCo, so access to the city was a breeze. The villa was more than adequate for our three night stay, and accommodations were awesome. The bed was more comfortable than anything you'll have at a hotel, and a near full size kitchen made it feel like home. I would love to stay there again when I return to Austin!"
224956,46309978,2015-09-09,12027975,Stephen,"We stayed in the villa which was excellent. The place was clean and just the right amount of space for a couple. Everything worked really well. Good shower pressure, cold AC, comfy bed etc. The welcome packet was very detailed and told us everything we needed to know. Location was good. Uber or Lyft to most places was just $10. We would definitely recommend it!"
224956,46943191,2015-09-14,5017918,Don,"the hideaway was very nice... clean, quiet and close to the best coffee in austin... and that little window unit A/C is amazing!  i like it very cold, and i had to turn the temp up to 76° to keep it from being too chilly.  i'd easily stay here again.

joe was very prompt and clear with his communication... ten thumbs up!"
224956,49765945,2015-10-06,13281548,Jen,Our stay at the guest villa was pretty much just what we needed. The apartment was small but it was just fine for two of us. The bed was comfy. We didn't spend a ton of time there due to the festival but it was a great place to crash after a long day. It was fairly close to the restaurants bars and shopping on congress street. It would be quite a walk we mostly took uber or lyft to get to that area. Overall good experience we would love to visit again. 
333815,1070594,2012-04-01,360967,Lisa,"Kim was an amazing host, taking the time to show me all around her house and making sure I had everything I needed.  She's such a cool chick and I loved the impromptu hoola hoop lesson!  

The house is huge and there is plenty of privacy if you are only renting a room.  The guest bath was lovely and roomy with a nice big garden tub.  And I loved the back balcony opening onto such a lovely view of Bouldin Creek.  

And it's so close to downtown...it was a 5 minute taxi ride from Rainey Street near the convention center and is walking distance to come cool food trailers. 

I would definitely recommend this place!!"
333815,2258524,2012-09-10,482025,Luke,"Great House, Great Host, and even better location.  The variety of food trucks across the street are reason alone to stay here.  The backyard is shaded and the hula hoops are spinning.   The place was very clean and Kim is a lovely hostess."
333815,2757758,2012-10-29,380693,Amelia,"Kim is a wonderful host. She helped us out with a last minute reservation and was very fun to talk to.  I wish I could have stayed longer, both she and her home are warm and welcoming.   "
333815,3389372,2013-01-21,4694131,Phil,"I only regret I was in Austin for business and could not spend more time there. Kim was an incredible host, and her house just has awesome ambiance. It is so spacious and warm at the same time. She obviously loves Austin and is a wealth of information.  She loves sharing her town with anyone who will listen. And she is always willing to give you a tour of the city.
The location is also perfect. Her place is near several walking and running trails and parks and is conveniently located 10 minutes from downtown and the capitol area. 
Whenever I return to Austin I know where I'll be staying!!!"
333815,3607494,2013-02-22,5077766,Lee,"Kim's place as a beautiful house in a strategic location. I was able to walk to downtown places quickly (Hyatt Regency in 15 minutes). The accommodations are splendid - Kim opens her house and her time to visitors. The rooms are open, spacious, and airy. Thanks Kim!"
333815,3644757,2013-02-26,1451926,Courtney,"Kim may have forever spoiled all future air bnb experiences for me because she set the bar so high, and this was my first time!  It started with a super quick response to a last-minute booking.  Then, Kim greeted me upon arrival with a hug and a smile.  We were fast friends, and Kim was a gracious host who truly loves the hosting part of the experience: first stop, delicious tacos at the Torchies food truck just across the street. Next up, a tour to the East Side of town where we danced our behinds off to some fantastic music at the Gypsy Cafe.  When I wanted to do my own thing, she would point me in the right direction or give me rides if she could (including to the airport!).  Her house was lovely, bright, clean, spacious and in a great location.  I was able to easily walk downtown and to the South First businesses and food trucks with no issue.  Great experience all-around.  Stay here! "
333815,3657019,2013-02-28,1426533,Tom,Kim is amazing! I had a blast from arrival. She is so much fun to be around and a wealth of knowledge on Austin. We spent the first evening at a great Mexican margarita place and the second at the awesome Pinballz playing some awesome games! Can't wait to stay in Austin again!
333815,3723777,2013-03-08,2517366,Marek,"Perfect place, perfect host! 15 minutes walk to Convention Center.
Two minutes to taco trailers. I recommend it!"
333815,3934034,2013-03-28,161517,Wendy,"Kim was a gracious host and her home is in a great location. Thanks for everything Kim.
"
333815,4035180,2013-04-04,1630946,Deysia,"My husband and I stayed for 5 nights and had a wonderful time. Kim is a knowledgeable, kind, and gracious host. Her home is beautiful, comfortable and serene, and the location is very safe and ideal for food-trucking/dining, sightseeing, shopping, and day-tripping. Also, if you are allergic to cats as I am, you needn't worry -- the house is very clean (no fur or litter smell) and there are air filters everywhere. You'd be very happy (and lucky) to get an opportunity to stay here."
333815,4139687,2013-04-13,5644663,Jennifer,"Kim is a fabulous hostess.  Her house is spacious and clean, and she goes out of her way to make her guests feel well taken care of.  I will definitely be back!"
333815,4283357,2013-04-24,5394769,Jessica,"Great location near Congress and downtown Austin--we spent much of our time on foot exploring the city!  Kim was a great host, very outgoing and full of advice!  Her home is beautiful and clean.  Plus, she had us hula hooping within 15min of arriving ;)  
If we had stayed longer than 3 nights, I would have wanted to sleep on something other than a futon, but for a short stay, it was adequate.  We spent so much time out and about each day that we weren't around much-except to sleep!      "
333815,4312961,2013-04-27,5485214,Mark,"Well, got recommended Kim by a friend and as a virgin Airbnb'er I was a little hesitant about staying in a strangers house... but all hesitations vanished within a minute of being there. Kim is a real gem, such a wonderful person, full of life, energy and love! She is very proud of her Austin, and was quick to take me out for food and to show me the sights... the house is in an amazing location, there's lots to do, and it feels very calming and chilled out. I will definitely be going back back in the near future!! Thank you so much, Kim! miss you xx"
333815,4509314,2013-05-09,2188057,Antonin,"Awesome house in the best Austin neighbourhood, the massage chair changed my life ;-)
Hanging out with Kim is  a part of the experience. "
333815,4619202,2013-05-15,6305627,Patrick,"Kim was a fun and warm host and was very open to share her home.  The location is great, less than a mile from 6th St downtown night life, a block away from some food truck parks, and near a bar with beach volleyball courts in the back!  (Aussie Bar and Grill).  It was a delight to stay with Kim."
333815,4848417,2013-05-28,6058874,Johnna,"I didn't get to meet Kim but she was very kind and personable every time we spoke. Her place was cozy, clean and hospitable. Everything I wanted to see downtown was within walking distance or I was able to take the bus for a few bucks. An added plus was that the others staying there were so sweet and kind so I made a few new friends ;)

 I would definitely stay at Kim's place again.  "
333815,5333333,2013-06-24,806769,Adam,"Very friendly host with a great house in one of the most convenient locations in Austin. Kim went out of her way to make me feel welcome in her home, and I greatly enjoyed my stay. If you're looking for a fun place to stay while you explore Austin, I highly recommend that you contact Kim!"
333815,5627401,2013-07-08,418459,Michael,"I had a great time, and Kim was very accommodating during my time in Austin. If I ever needed anything she was always quick to respond. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
333815,6181882,2013-08-02,1143378,Ray,"Best AirBnb experience I've had. Kim is great and her place is awesome. The living area is real spacious, great for hooping. There's a lovely terrace out the back. Location is great, some trendy cafes/restaurants closeby, including bouldin creek cafe and Pulvos - great Margaritas! I ended up hanging with Kims friend all week and had an amazing time. Highly recommended. I will stay with Kim when I return to Austin which I'm looking forward to."
333815,6314737,2013-08-07,2090776,Andrea,"I would definitely stay with Kim again if I went back to Austin. Her house was really beautiful, the massage chair was especially nice after a long day of walking, and she made you feel right at home. The location is just a short walk to SoCo, about 10 minutes, and an easy 20 minutes to downtown. The M1 bus is only $1 and will take you to and from downtown from Congress St. if you get tired of walking. Kim had great suggestions of where to go and what to do and also offered to drive us anywhere close by. She was really friendly and fun to talk to. She also taught my boyfriend and I how to hula hoop which was really fun.   "
333815,6725890,2013-08-22,8242813,Jennifer,This was my first time using Airbnb and I have to say I wasn't disappointed.  Kim has done a good job at representing her home on the site.  Her pictures and description are both very accurate.  She has a very clean home and I felt right at home there.  Her home is centrally located to everything.  Kim was a fabulous tour guide.  She was very resourceful and directed me to many awesome things to do.  She is also very happy to have you jump in on her plans so if you are traveling alone and worry about having someone to hang out with don't be because Kim has something fun going on all the time.  
333815,7089645,2013-09-06,2186250,Keith And Rebecca,"Very gracious host.  Took us in last minute.  Great place to stay, very clean, great location, super friendly."
333815,7966466,2013-10-10,8737983,Shannon,"Kim was an amazingly gracious host, the location was super easy access to downtown where I was attending a conference, and the space was beautiful.  Also, Kim gave me a hula hoop lesson...where else can you get that kind of hospitality?  Would absolutely stay again and recommend to others."
333815,8077451,2013-10-15,6313906,Nelson,"The Solar Sanctuary was quite the stay, an unforgettable one to say the least.  The amenities were beyond what I had imagined and Kim is a great host with plenty of interesting stories to share.  You will find out soon enough that Kim has a great passion for hooping, so much so that you will not leave the house without trying it.   "
333815,8432966,2013-10-30,1579934,Philip,"I enjoyed my stay at Kim's house very much. She was a very welcoming and knowledgeable host, and this is a great central location to explore Austin from."
333815,8543851,2013-11-04,971667,Paul,"Super high energy!  I think Kim single-handedly powers Austin.  

Helpful, welcoming, considerate.  Great hostess."
333815,8634801,2013-11-09,2118613,Jonathan,"Kim was absolutely fab. I really enjoyed my stay here, just wish it could have been longer than two days. I'll definitely be paying a visit when I'm back in Austin. Thanks Kim!"
333815,8728864,2013-11-14,4981583,Scott,"The house is lovely and Kim is a splendid and generous host. She is dynamic and brimming with enthusiasm for and knowledge of the  Austin arts and community scene. Kim guided us perfectly on public transport and bicycle rental and made space in here well organized garage for our bikes. While we were initially a bit surprised by the noise of the traffic hurrying along the arterial road beneath our second floor bedroom window, we quickly adapted, aided by the easy and welcoming vibe of the home. "
333815,8940092,2013-11-26,1413868,Hope,"The experience was great, what awesome accommodations and great people. Kim was friendly and generous. There's a sauna, massage chair as well as other amenities, and the place itself is exceptionally clean and inviting. Also the location couldn't be better for exploring Austin. Stu, Kim's other half, is terrifically creative and good to talk to as well. Simply cannot be beat for the price! Oh yeah, definitely take Kim up on the free hoop lesson, what a blast! "
333815,9125457,2013-12-09,204466,Lu Ellen,"I normally book an entire apartment, but Kim's place looked so compelling that I gave it a try. And now...I am already thinking about when I can return to Kim's gorgeous home. I LOVED it. Kim is a remarkably warm and welcoming host. She immediately offered me use the kitchen, showed me how to use her special German coffee maker, encouraged me to sit in the massage chair or just relax wherever I liked. In addition to Kim's kindness, I especially liked the airy lightness of the house and the new bed which was fabulous.

Kim had a parking place for me. During peak traffic times, it took me a half a minute to wait for traffic to clear before I could scoot out, but that is all. Excellent location (and beware the delicious donut food truck just a block away!) 

And Kim taught me to hoola hoop! (You must watch her hoola hoop. Grace in action...)"
333815,9919086,2014-01-19,10548504,Beth,"My experience at Kims house was amazing!  The location could not have been any better for exploring Austin.  Her home is beutifully decorated and a peaceful retreat.  There is a massage chair that I took advantage of after a long day of walking through the city.  Kim is such a gracious host.  Not only was she available with any questions about the city, but she is a wealth of knowledge too!  I was greeted with a warm hug when we first met each other at the door, and told that a Hula Hoop lesson was in store for me!  Kim also offered me a ride if I needed to get somewhere in the city, if she was available, which was above & beyond what I would have expected from a host.   I did take her up on that offer to get a ride to the airport when I left town.  I was so sad to leave Kims house & her warm hospitality.  I will be back to Austin soon, and there is no other home or person I would rather stay with than Kim!  The house is situated on a busy street in Austin, so there is a bit of street noise. But that is normal for being in a wonderful location in the city.  You can walk to several food trucks & restaurants right outside the front door which proved to be very helpful.  I left Kims home feeling like part of her own family and I cant wait to go back for another visit!  THANK YOU KIM!  YOU ARE THE BEST!  :)"
333815,11227353,2014-03-25,12863896,Lindsey,"I really wanted to sit and think through this review before leaving one because Kim was such a phenomenal host, with the greatest house and location, so I needed to make sure I did her/the house the justice it deserves (all within 500 words!).  
We were in town to celebrate my birthday weekend, and our first time in Austin, and chose to stay with Kim because of her positive reviews, along with the house's excellent location.  We left with our expectations totally exceeded.  From the moment we stepped foot into Kim’s gorgeously open and ocean-breezy, amazing space, we felt at home.   I never knew so much positivity could come from one person – seriously, she’s fabulous.  She was never without a suggestion of something very personalized and incredibly fun to do.  She's incredibly accommodating.  We got to spend a great night out listening to some local live music with Kim and a couple of her other airbnb guests.  Speaking of the other airbnb guests, they were both really nice (Kim is a great judge of character) and respectful of Kim's place and our space, as well.  There were no issues sharing the bathroom or any of the amenities and Kim had time for us all (top of the line stuff, might I add – seriously, I am picky about shampoo :)).   We had some great conversation and felt like we learned so much about Austin and the great events and people.
On top of Kim being the top 5 people I have ever met, the house is truly amazing.  The massage chair she has is to die for (I can attest, I used it at least 6 times) and it sits in an upstairs foyer with big windows that let in some great light. The room and bed were comfortable and there were plenty of blankets and pillows for us both.  Kim likened the cars passing by to ocean waves crashing and as mild as the sound was, it really did give a soothing zen feeling (savasana-esque for all the yogis).   Really, we couldn't have asked for more and can only hope the rest of our Airbnb experiences come anywhere close! "
333815,11709665,2014-04-13,11911875,Jack,"My stay was brief but delightful as Kim met me at the door, we chatted for a while, I crashed shortly thereafter and left early in the morning. Kim's house is very special and she is the perfect airbnb hostess because she really enjoys meeting her guests.She has my highest recommendation.

333815,12211315,2014-04-26,2580493,Don,"Kim has a great location and is an amazing host. I came here simply to get away from Chicago and ride my bikes, but I came away with a whole new appreciation for what is possible. Kim is a wonderful soul and touches people with joy and kindness.! If you're looking for a great stay, you've found it, and if you're open to it you might learn something. "
333815,12345770,2014-04-29,13650930,Nancy,"Too bad there are only five stars to use for rating--I'd give Kim and her Zen Sanctuary a 10! It is a shady, cool (lots of cieling fans and xlnt A/C), peaceful sanctuary in the midst of Austin's bustle.
Her description is completely accurate, the house spotless, the bed and linens fresh and comfortable (I give the pillows an ""A+""), and it's easy walk into town--even for us ""seniors."" I enjoyed early morning tea on the deck while browsing books from her eclectic library. The bird song and playful squirrles added to the tranquility. Alternatively, if you're up for fun, so is Kim! She's full of great stories about her creative lifestyle. Oh...and don't miss signing up for a massage and a hula lesson!
When returning to Austin, I wouldn't consider booking anywhere else."
333815,12736429,2014-05-09,14951308,Aanchal,"Kim is a wonderful host. She has a very spacious and clean house. I liked her policy of ""no shoes"" in the house which helped to keep the house very clean. We recieved free hoola hoop lessons as Kim is a hoolahoop instructor. Kim also has a wonderful outdoor space in her backyard! It was a wonderful experience for a Airbnb newbie like myself. "
333815,15359653,2014-07-07,6981256,Christine,Kim was a fantastic host. I'm currently staying in San Antonio for the summer and my friend came down from Philly to visit. This was my first time going to Austin and the weekend was wonderful. Kim has an enthusiast and welcoming personality and we were kindly greeted right away. She was a great source of information for places to visit in the area. We were even given an intro to hula hoop session shortly after we walked in the door! She allowed us to use her extremely comfortable massage chair and my friend and I slept soundly in the Zen room. We had a great trip to Austin and I look forward to returning!
333815,20364899,2014-09-28,8715648,Clare,Kim was the perfect host. She made us feel welcome immediately by offering plenty of suggestions of things to do and places to eat. She even taught us to hula hoop during our brief stay. I would definitely stay with her again and would recommend her to any airbnb guest.
333815,20622148,2014-10-02,13204174,Joya,"Kim was a PHENOMENAL hostess!!  First off, I booked one room and she surprised me with two. She gave my daughters hula hoop lessons, and now they're hooked! Her home is absolutely beautiful.  The pictures don't lie.  Massage chair, sauna, trampoline...And Kim is so friendly.  If you're not familiar with Austin, this location really can't be beat. It's close to Barton Springs, The Long Center, and great restaurants.  No complaints. Also, I have major cat allergies and was not bothered at all by her cat. I can't wait to go back!"
333815,20891924,2014-10-07,14606695,Brian,"We are now AirBnB fans because of our experience with Kim. First, the house is really easy to get to, especially via the #100 bus from the airport. Get off the bus at the corner of Congress & Riverside, and the house is about a 3/4 mile walk from that bus stop. It is also located just a few blocks from some great Austin food trucks. Our favorite that Kim recommended was Melizzoz Tacos - phenomenal - and Holy Cacao has some really good coffee, so you are sure to experience some kick-butt food nearby. The information Kim provided about the house ahead of time was spot-on and very helpful. And what can we say about Kim? She is one of the nicest, sweetest people we have ever met. She greeted us with a hug, showed us the house, we chatted for a while, and she made us feel right at home. The Zen room was just what we were looking for - it's a nice size & a good place to crash after a long day out and about. The bathroom nearby was spacious, and everything was neat and tidy. There's a deck at the back of the house where you can veg and relax, and the house itself has a beautiful open floor plan. If I had to pick out an issue - which was EXTREMELY minor  - is that there is road noise from the cars passing by on 1st Street just outside the window, but honestly, if that sort of thing bothers you at all, you can easily fix the problem by bringing earplugs. They worked like a charm. I wouldn't pass up staying at the house just for that little bit. And we certainly intend to return!"
333815,21282282,2014-10-14,19513926,Dani,"Kim is a wonderful host and her house is amazing! We stayed at her place during Austin City Limits and had a fantastic time. The house is gorgeous and clean, and the room we were in was the perfect size for a couple/2 friends to share. There were other guests staying in the room next door but it never felt too crowded/busy/loud. There's plenty of room to hang out and chill after a long day of sight seeing in Austin. Kim is a great, attentive host and will give hula hoop lessons, which are lots of fun. The house is across the street from food trucks and also walking distance/a bike ride away from downtown Austin, Zilker Park, and even Rainey Street (my favorite place to go out in the city). Overall this was a fantastic first Airbnb experience and I would definitely stay at Kim's house again! "
333815,21416437,2014-10-17,18691328,Gia,"Kim was super welcoming and accommodating. She allowed us to securely stow our camping gear in her garage and our truck in her driveway while we stayed in the Zen Room for two nights after camping nearby. Upon our arrival she showed us around and we immediately felt like we were in an extension of our own home. Her space is clean, bright, open and inviting. Kim also was very informative, she took time to explain with a map the neighborhoods and hot spots around Austin. Her house is in a great location, we were able to walk everywhere and felt totally safe. We walked back from the WSP concert at Moody's at around midnight with absolutely no problem. Overall, this was a great experience especially for our first time using airbnb."
333815,21632652,2014-10-20,12093935,David,Kim was a fabulous host. She was extremely gracious and really helped us navigate our way through Austin. She gave us great recommendations and helped us find our inner chi with a Hula Hoops lesson. She even drove us to the the airport on our way out. The house is big yet welcoming.  It also is well-situated near lots of good restaurants on the South Side of town. Easy enough to get to Downtown and the East Side. Would definitely recommend staying here!
333815,22428066,2014-11-06,21330646,Scott,"Kim was simply amazing and the house was great!!!
She made us feel at home as we first set foot in the house, warm personality and very helpful as well in regards to questions we had on Austin. We got the opportunity to hang out a bit with her and had a fantastic time.
The house was very nice, well situated near congress and not that fare from down town, we walked everywhere. Kim even dropped us off for the bus on our last day, we appreciated that sooooo much!!! She has a few simply rules in the house that make perfect sense (like no shoes in the house) and that we respected.
We loved Austin so much and Kim made our stay even better, just didn t want to leave at the end.
I highly recommend this AirBnB and have already spoken of Austin to friends, if they choose to come, I will absolutely tell them to stay at Kim's."
333815,22576021,2014-11-10,14691603,Keith,"Kim was an awesome host, it was like staying with a good friend.  The house was conveniently located, clean and had everything we needed (and a Keurig!).  The only problem we noticed was the amount of road noise that made it into the room, but we borrowed a small fan from Kim and that fixed the problem.   Thanks again for having us."
333815,22774135,2014-11-14,23177814,Will,"My 4-night stay at the Solar Sanctuary - Zen Room was great! Kim was helpful in giving me info before the trip, and I was able to take a bus from the airport to within a few blocks of the house for $1.50. The South Austin location is less than a mile from downtown, and it was easy to walk to downtown and other attractions like Barton Springs. Plus there's a lot happening within a few blocks, so I spent some time enjoying the Soco (South Congress) scene. There's a bus stop a block from the house, and I took the bus on cold mornings -- you're downtown in less than 10 minutes. My stay was relaxed. I felt at home. And I had told Kim about some particular areas of interest that I wanted to know more about in Austin. She knows a ton about Austin history and current affairs, so I learned a lot. A very positive experience. "
333815,22947827,2014-11-18,17788672,Stephen,"Kim is pure delight.  I feel not only did I find my favorite oasis in Austin,  I made a new friend.  Kim is a ball of beautiful energy, love and kindness.  She taught me to hula hoop and had me dancing on a Sunday night completing a beautiful weekend perfectly.  I barely spent anytime at her place when I was there i secretly hoped she would be home each and every time I got there just so I could listen to her kind words and beautiful spirit.  The weather was unseasonably cold, but Kim's warm heart and warm home were truly transformative.  My most memorable airbnb experience to date!  Kim your home is gorgeous and so are you!"
333815,23279963,2014-11-27,19809447,Anahi,"We have been using Airbnb for a few months. We travel quite frequently to Austin. All of our stays have been wonderful, so good that we actually thought it couldn't get better....and then we found Kim and her beautiful peaceful Solar Sanctuary Zen Room in SoCo. We truly had this feeling that we were visiting old friends, she made us feel right at home and we even got Hoola Hoop Lessons :) Great SoCo  location, we had a spot to park and I know a few guests had mentioned the noise but we slept like babies ! Maybe it had to do with the new noise canceling shades she had just installed. We truly can't say enough good things about her, hands down our new go to location. We are already looking at our upcoming traveling dates so we can book in advanced. We can't wait to see her again ! ;) Kim Thank you so much for opening your place to us, see you soon ! xoxo"
333815,23814745,2014-12-11,975560,Theresa,"I stayed in the Zen Room at the Solar Sanctuary for 4 nights in December.  Kim was a warm and gracious host from the beginning.  I took the bus from the airport into the city, and she arranged for me to be picked up at the bus stop so I wouldn't have to schlep my bags to her house on foot.

The house and room are as described.  It's a beautiful, light-filled space with great amenities.  I let the massage chair do its work every evening after returning from the conference I was attending during the day.

The location is fantastic - lots of stuff (coffee, restaurants, food trucks, shops) within easy walking distance, which is very important to me.

A word about the traffic noise - the guest rooms are on the second floor at the front of the house, which is set close to the street.  Plan on bringing ear plugs to sleep with, or use the ones provided by Kim.  In my opinion, the only drawback to this place is the traffic noise, but it's a small price to pay for what you're getting.

The Solar Sanctuary will be definitely be my first choice on future stays in Austin."
333815,24678651,2015-01-01,10856770,Isabelle,"I can not even explain how wonderful our stay was! Kim's home was better than I could have imagined. Where do I start? Started each morning off with a nice sauna then shower. Then I meditated on her nice little pillow area in front of a beautiful fireplace. Followed by sitting in this amazing massage chair that lifts and adjusts as it massages. She had a beautiful chess board in the zen room which we played with, along with hoola hooping and jumping on the trampoline out back. I also pet her adorable cat whom I fell totally in love with. Kim was away on vacation but she had a very nice friend host us, and the front door had a code anyway so it was easy getting in and out. I don't know what I enjoyed more, seeing the city which was so cool, or staying in this house. If I ever and back anywhere near the area I will be staying here, and would love to meet the owner Kim. "
333815,25724217,2015-01-24,25908151,Robin,"We really enjoyed staying at Kim's beautiful home. Kim made us feel welcomed and comfortable. Her home is very clean and spacious and located in a wonderful section of Austin. It's easy to get to lots of great food and you have a choice of many coffee shops close by. 

Others mentioned the street noise and we noticed that on the first night we were there which happened to be a Friday night. But Kim graciously offered us a fan which magically blocked out the noise for us and we slept well.

"
333815,25851234,2015-01-27,9480164,Marzieh,"Kim is just amazing, I can not find a word to describe what a great host she is. She treated me like a friend from the first time we met. She was very responsive in communication. She picked me up from the bus station on the first day and gave me a lift to places whenever she had the time. Kim is such a positive and fun person, it's just great to be around her. I had never been in Austin before and I learned a lot from her about Austin and Texas. We have been together to some really nice places to eat, I would definitely suggest to take her recommendations on food. And moreover, when the storm hit NY and I got stranded in Austin, she let me stay in her place 3 extra days as a guest. For me, spending time with Kim and her place is the real Austin experience. The house itself is also great, very nice, spacious and comfortable. It is conveniently located close to South Congress which is full of shops and places to eat. I will definitely come back and I would only want to stay here. I feel like I have a new friend in Austin."
333815,26470490,2015-02-13,17226865,Andrew,Kim was very responsive and was cool with me arriving a bit later in the evening. She was extremely warm and welcoming. I felt right at home. The place was clean and I had everything I needed for a nice stay.
333815,26621901,2015-02-16,8804525,Byron,"Saying that Kim was an excellent host is an understatement. Kim surpassed my expectations on every level. I spent two nights here with my girlfriend, and she was immediately warm and inviting upon our arrival. She was very generous, genuine, and accommodating for the entirety of our stay. The house was immaculate, peaceful, and open. Close to food trucks, South 1st, and South Congress, the location couldn't be better. Most of all, I look forward to keeping in touch with Kim and coming back to visit again!"
333815,27033612,2015-02-23,9193429,Patricio,Kim was a super friendly and accommodating hostess. She gave solid recommendations and let us have all the space we wanted. Everything was proper and I'll definitely try to stay here again next time I visit Austin!
333815,27538309,2015-03-07,1151993,Andi,"Kim is warm and welcoming, and makes you feel at home right away. The room is just as advertised; clean and comfortable. The location is terrific - just a few minutes walk from all the great shops and restaurants in the South Congress area. I'd definitely stay here again if I return to Austin."
333815,27593845,2015-03-08,14908352,Angela,Kim is very warm and friendly and her house is beautiful. The house is convenient to all of the food on S. First and the shops on S. Congress. We had a great stay.
333815,27890398,2015-03-14,1421342,Adrienne,"Kim is the kind of host that's actually a friend you haven't met yet. Being in her house and her presence was one of the most rejuvenating experiences I've had in a long time. She is the type of person that I always hope to meet at an AirBNB. Her first-ever AirBNB guest was also staying during the time I was there, and we became fast friends as well. Everything about the experience was welcoming, calm, inviting and amazing! 

Kim is an amazing lady, her house really is a sanctuary (of the non-religious variety) and you'll never regret staying there! I would go back to Austin just to visit her! "
333815,28679926,2015-03-28,11423056,Alex,"This was my first time staying at Kim's. I was here for a week and had a very good experience. The room and home were as described. While the room is outside a busy street, the noise was minimal (like waves on a beach strangely enough), and a small fan could be used to drown it out if needed. It wasn't an issue for me at all.

I arrived after midnight and was worried about that but the instructions for the lock and code were simple and easy. Kim was communicative and everything was a breeze the first night.

As has been shared by others, Kim is a warm and friendly host. She made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. I even got an unexpected hula hoop lesson - she's really talented - and thought that was very nice and generous of her. 

I would stay again and recommend to others. Thanks Kim!"
333815,28907353,2015-03-31,2693768,Kimberly,Kim was a wonderful host. She welcomed us warmly and made us feel comfortable in her home. She has great recommendations for anything you could be interested in seeing or doing while in Austin. Her home is clean and spacious and within walking distance to downtown Austin. I would definitely stay with her again. 
333815,29463368,2015-04-07,30320324,Daniel,"My wife and I think Kim's is amazing. I just thought I'd get that out of the way for those review skimmers. My wife and I spent 3 wonderful nights in Kim's beautiful home, and I wouldn't change a thing.  Kim was our first AirBnB host on our first trip to Austin and she knew exactly how to ease us in to the idea of home sharing. 

We arrived late on a Friday night and Kim met us with a kind hello and a simple greeting. It was obvious that we needed a few minuets to get our bearings, so she let us chill out for a bit. After playing around in her massage chair for a long while we meandered down and met  Kim. She was warm and welcoming and recommended we wander along first street and check out the local food trucks that line south first. There was something about her perfect mix of her personal kick-ass attitude and professionalism that made me know we were going to have a lovely stay at chez Kim.

Kim's place also has a trampoline. So that's super cool. "
333815,29844454,2015-04-13,9598873,Andrea,Amazing location with a lot of good place to eat in a walking distance! very quite area but close to downtown Austin!
333815,31386757,2015-05-04,31791383,Colleen,"Kim is a wonderful, welcoming host! Her home is just as described, full of light and in a great spot. Walking distance to delicious food and fun shopping. Thanks for making my stay in Austin even more memorable Kim :)"
333815,32429190,2015-05-17,1873488,Arman,"What can be said about the Solar Sanctuary and its magnificent host Kim that hasn't been said?

I had an absolutely incredible experience at this place. It is the epitome of what I have always imagined an Airbnb experience to be. The room is comfortable and the place is clean. You may meet other amazing people while you're there. As a fellow host, I was still blown away by Kim and her warmth. From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and comfortable. 

This short story will summarize my experience: on the final day I hadn't had a chance to see Kim yet, and I arrived home late at night. I was feeling sad that I wouldn't be able to say goodbye as I opened the door. To my surprise she was still awake sitting by the fire. We chatted for another hour at least before saying bye.  :)"
333815,32597961,2015-05-19,32348792,Jacob,Kim was a great host and very welcoming.  Her Solar Sanctuary was the perfect place for my trip and she made me feel just like family.
333815,36558354,2015-06-29,12590459,Andrew,"We had a wonderful long weekend stay with Kim. It was our first time AirBnB'ing in a room within an owner-occupied home, and let me tell you, it could not have been a more enjoyable experience. The house is great--cool, clean, comfortable, and a $5 Uber ride into downtown and walkable to S. Congress and the Hyatt hotel where I had a convention to attend.

And Kim herself is a delightful host. She gave us a great tip on using public transport to get to her, and within minutes of arriving offered to take us swimming with her to a locals-only swimming hole in the Austin greenbelt! We NEVER would have known of the place, or been able to get there, otherwise. On Sunday we went on a fun excursion to Barton Springs with her, as well. But here's the great thing about Kim: she is totally chill and goes with the flow. If you have things to do--work, or your own social agenda, she's hands-off and focused on her own fascinating interests. But she's game to show you Austin, too, and boy does she know a lot about the city.

Great time. If I return next year for the same work conference, I'll book again!"
333815,37593322,2015-07-08,12927973,Micah,Kim was an awesome host. My girlfriend and I loved the private room. The house is awesome and in a great location to explore South Austin. Highly recommend.
333815,46220663,2015-09-08,42868161,Haley,Kim was an amazing host! She was very friendly and greeted us like we had been friends for years.  She gave us some hooping tips in the home and some great recommendations for food and site seeing.  This was our first trip to Austin and she made it an unforgettable one!
333815,49405742,2015-10-03,25956288,Jillian,"Kim was an amazing host and a perfect ambassador for Austin.  She had me hula hooping within minutes of my arrival and we felt very comfortable in her home.  Kim was accommodating to unexpected changes I'm our travel plans.  Next time we visit, we would love to have Kim do a Henna tattoo!  Thanks for a great stay."
333815,49761807,2015-10-06,11079131,Matt And Lauren,Kim was a great host. She made us feel so welcome and her place was exactly as described.

333815,52783498,2015-11-01,4622450,Brian And Steph,"Kim was extremely welcoming and made our trip to Austin extra special. She suggested places to visit and restaurants to eat at and all of her suggestions were on point. Her hospitality is unmatched by anywhere else we've ever stayed! 
Her place is centrally located to downtown and South Congress. It is within walking distance to everything. Our rental car remained parked as we explored most of the city on foot.  There is no better place to stay in Austin! When we return to Austin, we'd stay with Kim hands down!
"
333815,52976630,2015-11-03,9936864,Ryan & Ankita,"We stayed at Kim's place for two nights. She is a very fun-loving, outgoing host who made us feel at home. Her home is on a busy road, but she left us a fan in the room that buffered the noise. The room was a bit smaller than it appeared in the pictures, but not a big deal since we were only there for two nights. We enjoyed walking to some great food trucks & restaurants right nearby her place. Overall, the host & location made this a good place to stay. "
6260941,35051233,2015-06-14,16221065,Carson,"We had a great time in Austin. The house was clean, comfortable and located in a great little area. The hosts provided us with snacks and drinks and the back patio was a lovely respite from the heat!"
6260941,35746551,2015-06-21,25905630,Kelsey,"As soon as I walked through the door I stopped, I smiled, and I said: ""When can I move in?!"" 
It was a beautiful weekend stay and I could not have been happier. Cathleen is a lovely host. Her attention to detail in making sure our stay was comfortable, is exceptional! It is a small home but it still slept 5 comfortably. So unless you are really picky and need your space, you will be happy with this pick. I would stay here again in a heart beat. :)"
6260941,36438210,2015-06-28,35421213,Kavya,Cathleen was very welcoming and warm. We had a great time and loved the home and neighborhood! We all had plenty of space and enjoyed being very close to downtown Austin.  
6260941,37210203,2015-07-05,22778858,Erica,"Great house, and a perfect location for visiting the city. Very friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was quiet and very picturesque. "
6260941,40259198,2015-07-29,38337443,Kim,"Great place to stay for families

My family and I stayed here while exploring Austin to see if we could imagine ourselves relocating from California. Staying here was a great experience because the space is very homey and was good for me, my husband and two kids to stay. It is in walking distance to central market and several awesome places to eat and grab a breakfast taco or Kolaches. Downtown is just a short drive or uber and my family was able to see all the major sights in Austin and also got a chance to explore some of the cooler, foodie places with lots of character just a few minutes away. 
Most of all, this was a great place to stay because the family was so great. They really explained a lot about the local downtown character, and also were able to recommend places to go with small kids. We ended up feeling like we were part of their family by the end of our stay. They were as close as we needed them, but also let us be and explore on our own. 
Note for EV drivers: there is a charge point at Central Market within walking distance so you can charge your Tesla or other electric vehicle. "
6260941,42461563,2015-08-13,36141574,Sharon,Cathleen was an excellent host.  Although I did not get to meet her personally she was very responsive and proactive in her communication with us.  We highly recommend the Summer rental in Central Austin.
6260941,46996387,2015-09-14,19665517,Laura,"Cathleen was very acommodating as mine was a last minute request.  The cottage was stocked with 'extras' and detailed information readily available as to the 'workings' of the cottage.  I had a very pleasant, uneventful stay.
"
6260941,47488301,2015-09-19,1524654,Amanda,"Although we didn't meet Cathleen, she was responsive to our messages. The cottage was as described and it was the perfect location for our small family of three. The bed was very comfy. The Rosedale neighborhood was lovely. Lots to walk to and an easy drive to all the Austin spots a tourist might want to visit. Street parking was out front. "
6260941,49302120,2015-10-02,13539204,David,"Great place in central Austin. Booked this last minute and couldn't have been happier. Stayed with my family .. Wife and 3 young children.
We know the town very well and this is a great location. Close to great restaurants and not too far from downtown. We actually own a house nearby but needed a place to stay during our move. Great hosts, great place. Would definitely recommend. "
6260941,49637854,2015-10-05,41749725,Brian,"My friends and I loved Cathleen's place during our stay in Austin for ACL, and it accommodated four of us very well. But more importantly this was the first time I booked an airbnb and she was extremely helpful through the whole process. Constantly communicating and keeping me updated on everything. Would stay there again and highly recommend it for first time Austin-goer's. "
6260941,52485996,2015-10-30,36810961,Sina,"The house is very cozy and looks just like in the photos , even better.Location is perfect ,you can even walk to downtown in 50 minutes,passing through the University area which is very alive an hip.There are a lot shops and restaurants around the house.Lamar and Burnett avenues has lots of places to offer especially.You can rent a bike very near to this location also.Believe me you will like this house a lot."
5131687,28348649,2015-03-22,22579151,Justin,"Hey the place was exactly what I needed. Good location. Pretty close to everything but also an escape from the SXSW madness. Clean and a lot of space.

Thanks Zak!"
5131687,29945254,2015-04-14,1733091,Laura,The apartment worked well for what we needed. It was in a very safe neighborhood close walk to some great Austin spots. Zak was very responsive and easy to communicate with! 
5131687,30363340,2015-04-20,31229765,Nancy,This was my first time using a airbnb and I am not disappointed! We had a great time staying at Zaks place! The location was very convenient for us we walked to Natures Grocers and Starbucks every morning! And the neighborhood is super safe we were extra comfortable. It's about nine min from sixth street so taking an uber was super cheap! We had a great time will definitely hit up Zak next time I am in Austin.

It was really nice to come here after a long day - away from all the craziness of downtown (which is only about a 10/15 min drive). Everything was perfect, clean and cozy. We definitely would love to stay here again next year. Linda is the best!
Thanks!

2357048,28256989,2015-03-21,14852392,Luis,"Excellent host. Highly recommended! 
All necessary amenities were provided. 
Location was great.  "
2357048,33192175,2015-05-25,6106450,Tom,Cozy place that was also reasonably spacious.  Linda was a great and welcoming host.
2357048,49442290,2015-10-04,39075084,Brock,"The duplex was a great spot for my friends and I to stay during our trip to Austin for ACL. Linda made it easy for us to check in and out and her place had everything we needed and was clean, comfortable and in a very convenient location for a weekend in ATX. "
360073,993052,2012-03-12,1827619,Robert,"Candace was very accommodating to our last-minute reservations and requests, and a real lifesaver in the middle of sxsw week. Her apartment is clean and welcoming, and the location is great, just a quick drive/bus to downtown Austin. We enjoyed our stay here very much, highly recommended!"
360073,1014311,2012-03-18,1433227,Andrew,"The apartment and host were delightful! Clean, convenient, great Austin neighborhood!"
360073,1046291,2012-03-26,1926063,Amy,"Candace was amazing! She was so sweet & accommodating to our situation (my boyfriend had a gig an hour north of Austin, but we wanted to stay in the city to explore it rather than staying in the small town of Temple. which lead to some really late nights!). Her place was perfect for what we needed. Comfy bed, clean room, and an adorable dog giving out free kisses too!  It's located just minutes from some of our favorite places in Austin (South Lamar, South Congress, etc.) & really convenient to the airport. Candace's great suggestions even lead us to discover a gorgeous park & new part of the city that made us fall even more in love with Austin. You can't go wrong staying here & we'll definitely be back in the future :)"
360073,10903861,2014-03-12,851982,Bill,"I stay at Airbnb places during film festivals, which by definition means that I am out all day and often back late at night.  This was the case at SXSW in Austin, so I actually did not meet Candace face to face (she was also out of town for part of my stay) .  But she was very attentive nonetheless and the place was great for my needs.  Easy bus ride to downtown (especially when you learn how to text for the next bus time which they explain at all bus stops).  Yes a cute dog.  She left a nice assortment of snacks which was a good touch and left me a new towel half way through the stay.  Very comfortable.  "
360073,16175637,2014-07-22,8777939,Rebecca,"Candace was a great host - she was communicative and flexible from inquiry to check-out.  Her apartment is as advertised - beautifully decorated, comfortable and convenient - and her dog is very cute.  Also thanks to Candace I took my first Lyft ride and enjoyed some Sunday Fun-day live music on Rainey St.! Definitely recommend for a friendly visit to Austin."
360073,27933912,2015-03-15,9711419,Hannah,"Candace's home was absolutely perfect! Me and my colleague stayed there while we were in town for SXSW. I loved her little attentions to detail (like notes on where coffee / creamer were, or restaurants in the area). Her decor and apartment style was right up my alley and exactly what I was looking for. Everything was perfect!!

If you catch an Uber, be sure you give them Candace's detailed instructions on how to find her building. Her instructions were brilliant. Uber (and Google Maps for that matter) struggle on how to get into the complex. "
360073,49710132,2015-10-05,38397807,Chels,Candace was a fantastic host!  My friend and I stayed here for ACL and could not have stayed at a better place.  She thought of everything we might possible need and provided great recommendations for restaurants in Austin.  I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!
360073,51250743,2015-10-18,44852621,Simon,Candace was very organized and rapid in getting back to me. The apartment was tidy and clean and her dog was lovely and very friendly. I recommend the apartment as a place to stay.

925342,11004787,2014-03-17,5294611,Taylor Ryan,"Carlton's place was so great! Located just across from UT's Law School, we used public transportation (CapMetro) to get around everywhere we needed to during SXSW. The place is bigger than it looks in the photos, and would perfect for football games (10 minute walk to DKR). Definitely going to stay here again the next time I'm in Austin!"
925342,21231391,2014-10-13,9888052,Kevin,"The apartment is exactly as listed and more!  By the looks of the pictures, I thought the space might be a little small, but the space has high ceilings and a great layout - complete with a balcony overlooking the creek. This apartment is perfect for anyone with engagements at Bass Hall.  Carlton is a great host and is very easy to get ahold of for any questions regarding the space. "
925342,28309837,2015-03-22,9580257,Žiga,"Carlton is a very friendly guy, who really went an extra mile with welcoming us. He even filled his refrigerator with juice, beers and some food, so we didn't have to search for the grocery store at the moment we arrived.
He was also totally ok with us having an extra guest the last two days.
The loft is exactly as described. It's really spacious, I'd say it's bigger as it looks on the pictures. The coolest thing about the apartment is definitely its huge terrace, which overlooks a nice park and a river. We spent most of our time there.
The neighbourhood is a very nice one, however, the public transportation system in Austin is a nightmare, so if you're business is located downtown, do prepare to spend another 200 dollars on cabs / ubers / lyfts.
"
925342,30616482,2015-04-25,29439945,Michael,"Carlton was very nice and available with a quick message every now and then checking to see if all was well. There was breakfast supplies, drinks and a coffee percolator with plenty of coffee beans ready to go, which was a welcome relief after a long trip. 
Kitchen is very complete.  Big shared washer and drier downstairs does the job.

Carlton clearly uses this place himself because it's pretty comfy and stocked. It's like a bachelor pad crossed with a cubby house in the trees. Kick your feet up, watch some cable with the air con blasting and drink some icy soda stream while you think about what you want to do in Austin.
 
Across the road from UT, it's hard to imagine being closer to campus. However, if you don't have a car and want to go downtown or get some groceries, Austin buses are pretty lame and you will not feel very agile and efficient. You'll lose about an hour at least for a round trip to the supermarket, for example (on foot or by bus). Do your homework on cars2go, use that stupid taxi app on your phone, but best choice is just have a car, period. Having said that, if you feel like student takeout food every night, there's heaps within 10 mins walk. Excellent Thai food and souvlaki on the drag.

This loft has an interesting story to tell. There are two characters in this story and the longer you stay in this loft, the more the little puzzle pieces left around the place will start fitting together. 

I'd love to be back here again if I'm ever going to UT.
"
925342,44113312,2015-08-24,30688190,Shiva,"Carlton is an amazing host and the loft was perfect for our family of four. We stayed there for 11 days and it was home away from home for all of us - well stocked / equipped kitchen, comfortable living room, cable TV, wi-fi, study area with printer / cables, shared laundry facilities, etc. We were in Austin to settle our daughter at UT Austin; we would not have found a better place so near the university - all main UT buildings, restaurants, shops, etc. were at walking distance. The balcony overlooking the creek, park and the beautiful Oak tree was the best place in the house - to have morning tea / breakfast!

Carlton is very generous, kind and considerate host! From the time I made my booking, Carlton has been guiding and helping me with any query I had regarding UT or Austin. He was present at the loft to welcome us when we reached; it was a so refreshing after traveling for over a day and jet lagged! 

Any time we are in Austin visiting our daughter, we would be staying at Carlton's loft!"
8256459,48362420,2015-09-25,29234173,Daniel,Karina was a great host and very easy to communicate with. The studio was clean and very nice and easy to get to within walking distance from University of Texas and downtown. The pool was a great way to beat the heat. This was my first time using AirBNB and the experience with Karina makes it more likely I'll use it again. 
8256459,48486959,2015-09-26,44999584,Kelly,"This was just as described - comfortable, clean, and cozy. The apartment was a short walk to UT campus. Karina was able to accommodate me on very short notice and everything went smoothly. Highly recommend."

8256459,51309235,2015-10-19,34690338,Cassandra,Karina ' s place was exactly as she posted. Perfect location and she was prompt at answering any questions. I would definitely stay again

She had great communication before and during our stay, and we really felt that she was available and willing to help us however necessary. Karina provided a very clean, cute and safe place to stay while in Austin. We felt really welcome, and had an overall great time!"
316630,1001904,2012-03-15,1580614,David,"Gretchen and Ben were great hosts.  Three of us stayed at their awesome little Austin house for SXSW and it was the perfect place to be - great relaxed neighborhood, yet really close to downtown.  They checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed and even offered to drive me to the airport when my cab wasn't showing up.  I can totally recommend staying with Gretchen and Ben if you're heading to Austin."
316630,1017427,2012-03-19,434387,Tim,"A wonderful Austin home set in a beautiful neighborhood. This location is a good jumping off point for whatever sorts of Austin adventures you want to have - it's just a short ride to Zilker Park and the start of the Green Belt trails, and it's just across the bridge from downtown/6th St.

The home itself is very comfortable and the hosts were gracious and accommodating. I would return here in a heartbeat. "
316630,2926558,2012-11-20,3494936,John,F1 fantastic! Gretchen even had the house painted Ferrari red for the GP weekend. Location was perfect to hit the local eateries (trailer) district as well as a very manageable walk to downtown. Will be our home away from home when in Austin. Great neighbors to boot!
316630,3814125,2013-03-18,4587960,Susan,We stayed at Gretchen's over this past week for SXSW.  Gretchen and her husband could not have been more accommodating. Their house is absolutely lovely and the images/description are completely accurate.  Only exception is that the house is now painted a fun fire engine RED!  The house is very convenient to South Congress and a few great restaurants right on 1st street.  Walking downtown took about 30 minutes.  The number 5 bus is literally right in the front lawn if you need to get somewhere quicker. We didn't have a car and found the location of the house completely manageable.  The neighborhood is also very charming and quiet. We highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Austin.
316630,10899548,2014-03-12,9909494,Alan,"Stayed here in early March for SXSWi. It's in a nice quiet neighborhood a few blocks over from the S.Congress area. There's a small convenience store a few blocks away and a Torchy's tacos if you get hungry :-) 

The space is clean and the two bedrooms are of good size. There is TV, internet, Apple TV, and even a nice little working nook if you need to catch up on email. Washer and Dryer looks like they are out back.

The house is located less than a 10 minute easy walk to the Palmer Center, where you can catch shuttle buses to the CC. Walking all the way in is a nice 30 minute walk too if you're in the mood. The 5 bus is right in front too, I believe.

Would def consider staying again for events in the the future/"
316630,11004889,2014-03-17,415983,Jason,"We really enjoyed Gretchen and Ben's house. It's super cute, very well laid out, extremely comfortable and really well designed and furnished. It's convenient for downtown and SoCo and in a very quiet and safe feeling leafy area of the city.

Gretchen and Ben were lovely and accommodating. Everything we needed!!"
316630,21290728,2014-10-14,20379336,Pete,Gretchen was great!  She was there to greet us when we arrived and was very hospitable.  The neighborhood is great too!  My friends and I did ACL and it was great to be walking distance from the festivities.
316630,28157689,2015-03-19,10779456,Kyle,"Gretchen and Ben were extremely friendly and welcoming. Their home is the perfect getaway to mix work and leisure.

Perfect location for SXSW. Walkable to everything, yet far enough away from all the noise. Perfect."
316630,28470404,2015-03-24,5745241,Ryan,"Such a lovely house in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. Gretchen is a spectacular host - kind, a great communicator and a pleasure to deal with. Hope to stay here again!"

7860381,50649482,2015-10-13,41672317,Palmer,What a great experience and amazing hospitality. I would recommend this place to anyone and the decor really makes it fabulous. You will not be disappointed!!
7860381,52328545,2015-10-28,44225481,Ryan,"My wife and I had a great experience staying  at Cristina's apartment! When we first arrived she was so welcoming and gave us a bunch of great tips about visiting Austin. She was happy to talk with us about her favorite restaurants since we were really interested in the food scene. 

The home is really charming and beautiful. It's a modern place and her style adds tons of character making it super comfortable and cozy. It really made us feel like we were right at home immediately. 

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our stay! Thanks so much! "
8386708,49507296,2015-10-04,36306837,Jessica,"Janelle was a fantastic host!
She was very attentive to our questions and needs.Her place is clean with minimal decor in the room we stayed in. We appreciated the time we spent at her home while traveling and recommend this place to anyone who decides to visit Austin! "
8386708,50510437,2015-10-12,44504717,Megan,My boyfriend and I had such a wonderful stay at Jenelle's. We went down for acl to visit. She was such a wonderful hostess and very attentive to our stay! Would def. stay again and would recommend her/her room to people. It's exactly how she has it advertised and she was such a sweetheart and her home is very warm and inviting. The privacy was nice as well.
3439350,15897863,2014-07-17,18104299,Phil,"This apartment looks great in the photos, but was even better in person!  The view of the city was outstanding.  Apartment was super clean and everything was very nice.  I really enjoyed my stay (although wish I could have stayed longer than the two nights I was in town).   Austin is such a great city as well.

The Amber team helping me seemed really nice and so I would recommend this property to anyone coming to the Austin area."

3439350,16942133,2014-08-04,18751700,Clint,Amber team was very nice and responsive to any questions I had.  I believe it was Dixie and Ashley who helped me and they were both super nice.  Apartment was clean and was really nice.  The view from the apartment is awesome!  Best part of the apartment by far.  It was in a nice location being centrally located in Austin and I liked being able to walk around downtown.  I would definitely stay here again if I have the opportunity.
3439350,18145911,2014-08-22,19926615,Julia,"Great condo, wonderful views, great facilities and a quick response with the hosts! Thank you, we will definitely be back here next time we are in Austin! "

There was a nice welcoming basket, a clean scent in the air and enough simple essentials to make it through the stay (ie, coffee, snacks, toiletries, etc.)  We'd definitely stay again!!"
3439350,20668252,2014-10-03,20381168,Ken,"This is an awesome place, just as pictured. Everything is provided and feels new. The unit is very spacious with a nice south facing view of the colorado river that you can enjoy from a small balcony. Very quiet at all times. Would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Austin.

There is one small drawback I encountered. There is no remote provided to enter the building and elevator, you need the person at the front desk, which is manned 24 hours a day, for access. During daylight hours, this is a non-issue as there are plenty of people even if the front desk is temporarily away. At night, if the person is away from the desk, you might be stuck until they return which might be a few minutes as happened to me one night. Wouldn't keep me from recommending this place, but, wanted to point out this fact."
3439350,21196779,2014-10-13,17610672,Brett,"The place was perfect!  Close to everything, very clean! Will definitely come back"

3439350,22087699,2014-10-29,22815876,Kyle,"Going to keep this short and simple - the place was exactly as amazing as pictures and described in the listing. You can't really ask for a more walkable location, a better view, or any more other amenities and perks. The sole, minor issue experienced was a malfunctioning keurig machine, but even that was resolved by the fact that there was a pretty fancy coffee machine down in the lobby. 

Overall I couldn't have been more pleased with the place. THANKS AMBER!"
3439350,22743861,2014-11-13,2985035,Deva,"This apartment is amazing! The photos really don't do it justice. The layout is spacious and everything is very clean. The bed is SUPER comfortable. Check-in/out at the front desk of the building was easy and convenient. It was located in a nice part of the downtown area, close to lots of shops and restaurants, and walking to my work conference near the convention center was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again!"
3439350,22883741,2014-11-17,692933,Mary,"Close to Austin airport. Pull into parking garage at 191 Colorado. Get keys from concierge. Park in space 628. 

Frequently regale savvy in wise apartment lodging choice. 

Steps from fab dining and shopping. 

We'd do it all again. 'Nough said.

3439350,26017332,2015-02-01,26224931,Monica,Amazing! Beautiful view! I never wanted to leave! My parents loved it
3439350,26821894,2015-02-20,25661571,Amanda,"This place is beautiful! Everything was convenient from the location to the concierge. I hadn't been to Austin before, so I was a little worried about downtown safety, but this place took that worry right away. The doors lock at a certain time, and you need your key to call the elevator. 

The decor is adorable, the welcome basket was wonderful, and the view is to die for. I almost didn't want to leave. Super convenient for any place downtown or just on the south side of the river. The walk across the bridge is about 5 minutes. 

The Amber Lodging team was really responsive when I asked immediate questions leading up to and on the day of check in. I just can't say enough about my experience. It was truly wonderful. Would definitely stay here again. "
3439350,27314474,2015-03-02,9471661,Kathi,"This place was fantastic!  I hope that we have a reason to return to Austin and stay there again. Great views,  yummy restaurants nearby and very easy to get in and out of. The woman I was in touch with at Amber was kind and helpful and informative. Highly recommend this space!"
3439350,27500922,2015-03-06,651992,Meghan,"I can't recommend this place enough - had such a great stay here! From the super simple check-in and check-out process, to the amazing location, to the incredibly comfortable bed, you're missing out if you don't stay here on your next visit to Austin. "
3439350,27639589,2015-03-09,24454795,Joe,Absolutely wonderful place. Exactly as described. Great corporate haven right downtown. Great amenities. 
3439350,27795665,2015-03-12,21885675,Jp,"I was so touched by the state of the unit when I arrived - a rack of complementary Pelligrino, snack basket, everything I would need and then some! The place is LOVELY, and check in could not have been easier! WiFi was FAST. "
3439350,28244499,2015-03-21,9057449,Daniel,"It couldn't be better. I had a great time in Austin and I think that being in this apartment which is really  good and in such a good neighborhood for a tourist was partly responsible for it.

I guess this was the best SXSW for me. I was so close to the ACC and other main venues that the experience got better.

And since I was going from Austin to another trip,  I loved that I could wash my clothes using the washer and dryer inside the apartment too.

Thanks Amber. Everything was perfect."
3439350,28477904,2015-03-24,6802928,Jonathan,"I loved my stay in Austin. This home is brilliantly located. Minutes
from everything you would want to do. Restaurants, bars, galleries and
the river. All this and yet it was so perfectly quiet. The river views
are spectacular. You can't help be inspired to go for a run.
The condo itself is really cool and the food basket and drinks were a
greatly received welcome.
Thank you.
It's was my first time in Austin, it won't be my last. Likewise in
terms of staying in this listing."
3439350,28694271,2015-03-29,4144128,Roxanne,"This was a beautiful apartment with a fantastic view. The hosts were very thoughtful in leaving snacks and sparkling water for us during our stay. We couldn't have been happier, and would look forward to staying here again on our next trip to Austin."
3439350,29158108,2015-04-05,10672071,Jill,"This condo was like staying in a hotel. Clean, bright, total luxury. Easy in and out with a concierge desk, and the location was perfect.

3439350,30199857,2015-04-19,27974254,Kass,"Our stay and the apt. exceeded all expectations.  The apartment was exactly as advertised, in a fabulous location and well equipped with the welcome basket and toiletries just as a hotel would have been but with far better views.  We are looking foreard to future stays and checking out Amber lodging options in other cities."
3439350,30658546,2015-04-26,13313872,Darren,"This was a truly enjoyable experience. Not only is the location superb and convenient for walking, but the care put into ensuring we had a welcome experience was admirable. From Pellegrino sparkling water to the ease of check-in, we appreciated every moment of our stay. The clean decor and pristine care taken of the condo felt like we were staying at our own high rise apartment, just transplanted to Austin. We can't recommend this apartment enough and look forward to staying here next year for the same event!"
3439350,31177819,2015-05-03,27534126,Colin,"This place was amazing! The concierge was very helpful and told us everything we needed to know. The apartment was very clean and just like the pictures. There were snacks and water left for us when we got there.

The pool was really nice with awesome views everywhere you looked. I can't recommend this place enough! Thanks Amber Lodging!"

3439350,43764178,2015-08-22,34558355,Anna,"This apartment is really fantastic - luxurious, clean, comfortable  and with a terrific view. There were snacks and water waiting when we arrived,  and check-in and out was a breeze. We loved the pool and the easy walk to the nightlife on 6th street. If you are visiting Austin you should 100% stay here!"
3439350,45810614,2015-09-06,39885177,Hayley,"The views were breathtaking, the pool was luxurious, the layout of the apartment was open and welcoming -- we were just SO so pleased with our decision to stay here. And everything we did was a scenic walk or quick ride away."
3439350,46527425,2015-09-11,3154884,Cheryl,"The apartment is as beautiful as it is in the pictures.  The views and the light are exactly what I was looking for.  The location is perfect...great restaurants, shops, and access to the trails all around the lake.  I walked to Whole Foods every day for my coffee and green juices. :-) The building attendants were very kind and helpful.  I booked it again for when I return in 2 weeks, its the perfect apartment for me."
3439350,46740508,2015-09-13,3767914,Kelly,"We had an amazing stay at the condo! The previous reviews are entirely accurate. This was a perfect staycation get away for a girls weekend. The location is perfect, view of the lake is amazing, you can walk directly across the street to access the hike and bike trails and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend staying here! "
3439350,48566856,2015-09-27,42917737,Kevin,Wonderful experience.  The space was beautiful.  The location was superb.  We may never stay in a hotel again!
3439350,49151598,2015-10-01,3154884,Cheryl,"This is the 2nd time I've stayed in this apartment and I absolutely love it.  As I've said in my previous post, it's the ideal location, brightly lit, beautifully appointed, and the best views in town.  It's only 20 minutes  from the airport and there are Ubers everywhere when you need one.  I hope to get to back to Austin soon and this will be the first place I look to stay.  "

335945,1139404,2012-04-16,548471,Chuck,Pat was a great host....met us at the house and gave us the tour. Parking was a plus with all the cars we had. The house was great as well. Very  easy to get around the city...very close to SOCO. HEB down the street....easy access to I35. Would stay here again in the future.
335945,2546278,2012-10-08,3630564,Dan,"Pat was great and very accommodating. He left us to ourselves, but made sure to check in and see if we needed anything. House was a great homebase with a humongous living room for hanging out. Nice location, would stay here again if I were visiting Austin!"
335945,2730937,2012-10-27,3773983,Maurice,The house was really nice to stay and close to everything we wanted.  Pat was a gracious host and I would highly recommend staying here.
335945,2875672,2012-11-13,3618643,Bobby,Patrick was a great host.  He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay.
335945,3658165,2013-03-01,4316522,Yolanda,"The house had everything I needed, it  very spacious and comfortable.  Pat was a great host, when ever I needed anything he was available. The house has a good kitchen and the washer and dryer were very handy and convenient.  Pat even purchased an extra TV when I gave him a suggestion and did it, he is a great host, Thanks Pat, I would come back again."
335945,3779757,2013-03-14,3595232,Lorina,"Pat was great. He was on point at everything. Made sure my group had a smooth check in as it was the first time for some of them in Austin.

Great location, clean house. 4 people sleep comfortably although we could have had 6.

Pat answered all my questions and concerns in time and he got in touch with my group one on one.

Thanks for the great experience and we will definitely stay there again.

Lorina"
335945,4094109,2013-04-09,1895923,Ellen,"Pat was a wonderful host, very conscientious and thoughtful. The house is lovely--very comfortable and in a great location. There is even a very sweet neighborhood cat who wanders by occasionally! I would highly recommend it. "
335945,4824332,2013-05-27,6513084,Alejandro,Didn't get to meet Pat but still communicated by phone. We had a late arrival and he left us the keys. Had the house to ourselves.nice neighborhood and there was even a cat that came and hanged out with us. Would go back
335945,7117043,2013-09-07,7126598,Jennifer,Pat's place is really nice - we especially loved the kitchen and living room which are quite open. The location is great. Pat is fun and helpful and even had dinner with us a few times -  as we were there for almost a month. Very highly recommended.  
335945,8112931,2013-10-16,7697738,John,"Pat is a wonderful host and his 2BR is a great open living space. We had 4 guys there for 7 days and were very comfortable. Pat checked on us to make sure we were settled and to see if we needed anything. He even offered to set up a barbecue for us to do some grilling. I highly recommend this place to stay if you want a great location in central Austin in a safe, quiet neighborhood. "
335945,10425977,2014-02-18,9407567,Ginger,"Patrick was a fabulous host, he is easily accessible and prompt in getting back to you if you have questions.He was accommodating with our schedule, he shared great info about places to eat and listen to music in the Austin area and is a genuinely nice person.  The place was roomy, clean and well appointed and worked well for 2 couples and a dog. The fenced back yard is great as it is large and private. The location couldn't be better for getting to the South Congress area quickly and easily and we would definitely recommend Patrick' s place to others.  "
335945,11364968,2014-03-31,12729631,Jonathan,"Great place, centrally located in Austin. We had great accommodations which fit our group perfectly. The living room is large, and the Roku is a great addition to relax after venturing out in Austin. For a first-timer in Austin, it was nice to have so many things accessible from the place, including: food, groceries, and gas.

It felt as if nothing was more than 15 minutes away from Pat's."
335945,13616467,2014-06-01,11481626,Joanna,"Pat was a gracious host and the house is in a great location. Easy access to get anywhere in Austin. It is a dog friendly place, and I would stay there again."
335945,15282660,2014-07-06,5820705,Stephen,"We stayed a week in Austin in Pat's place. If you expect to mostly hang out downtown, around East Austin or South Austin, this location is excellent. East Riverside Drive is your gateway to everywhere, and it is only a block away.  The home is clean and spacious, simply but tastefully furnished, AC works great. It has a full-sized kitchen. Though you are a fool to use it with all of the great eats in Austin. OMG I could eat for a month just from all of the food trucks.  Have you ever waited two or three hours to buy BBQ from a truck? For Austin's best, you might have to. My new Austin slogan is: Too many trucks, not enough time. Wow, Austin really has become a foode destination.  Back to Pat, as soon as you place your reservation you will see how responsive and prompt he is.  He made sure through messaging that we found the place without trouble and got settled in.  BTW, the home not a duplex, as another previous poster wrote. Last word, GREAT value for the price. "
335945,15664412,2014-07-13,7263339,Natalie,The reservation was canceled 81 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
335945,22679035,2014-11-11,23277155,Chris,"  I would definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin. It was so nice to have a 2 bedroom house for me and my brother, as opposed to a cramped hotel room.  The unit was very clean when we arrived and everything was as-pictured in the Airbnb photos.  Pat was available by text the entire trip and prompt to respond to any questions.

Pros:
+Bigger than a hotel room for the same price.
+2 bedrooms so you can have your own space.
+Close to downtown.
+Close to multiple freeways depending on which way you're going.
+Close to El Taquito (best tacos, get the 'gringa' with carne asada).
+Laundry in unit.
+Heater worked great to warm us up in the chilly nights.

Cons:
-Located on a relatively busy street, so you may hear cars drive by every few minutes while trying to get to sleep if you're in the 'master bedroom.'
-No TV in living room.
"
335945,28121069,2015-03-18,4348032,Allie,"I rented Pat's home for 3 of my employees coming to Austin for SXSW. The home was very convenient and a great place to stay for SXSW. Once they got there, and were settled, everything was fine and the girls loved the hammock in the living room. 

Leading up to the experience wasn't quite as seamless as I have experienced with AirBnB in the past, which was a little disappointing. Pat was dealing with some personal stuff, so I will cut him some slack, but overall the process was not as smooth as expected with unforeseen costs/charges after the transaction for hotel fees/taxes, inability to drop bags off when arriving in Austin which caused some headaches and rearranging of plans, and it was quite difficult to get in touch the day or two before arriving as we were trying to finalize plans.  

Again, I know that he was dealing with some personal issues during this time so it is likely not how he would normally handle a rental and once we arrived everything was great."
335945,28389829,2015-03-23,8314278,David,The neighbourhood was lovely and the host was perfect.
335945,32699874,2015-05-20,233478,Eric,Pat was very attentive of our schedule and even came over late one night when we locked ourselves out of the house.  It's a nice big house and close to downtown.
335945,33230325,2015-05-26,27384000,Mary,"Pat was great to work with. Enjoyed staying in a house rather than a hotel. Good location away from the crazy traffic and parking difficulties of downtown, but convenient to get anywhere in Austin. Good communication; very responsive to any questions. "
335945,45063835,2015-08-31,29300204,Kevin,"We stay at Pat's place for a summer. This place is spacious, especially the living room. Pat was very helpful throughout our stay, and gave us many helps very quickly. This place is not far from the Lady Bird bike trial, one of the most beautiful place in Austin. Would recommend people to stay here if they like South Austin. "
5076678,36562005,2015-06-29,33975019,Brittany,"This was a beautiful condo, perfect for our trip and our stay.  Very spacious and clean!  Everything we needed.  We were greeted with a bottle of wine and nice bottle of juice.  The neighborhood was great, very close to so many popular spots to eat and socialize in Austin Texas."
5076678,37004904,2015-07-03,36574583,Rae,"We had a wonderful stay at Erica's home.  The location was convenient to everything we needed.  There were great restaurants within 5 minutes of our rental.  The rental was spacious, clean and nicely appointed.  I would recommend this home for anyone going to Austin."
4197763,21313756,2014-10-14,21970922,Mark,"Eduardo was an amazing host! He was extremely relaxed and easy to work with.  Communicated great and was on-time.  The location was amazing!  15 minute walk to 6th street, Franklin's barbecue is directly across the street, CVS on the corner for quick items, and Stubb's is just a few blocks away.  The complex was incredible and just about brand new.  The place was extremely clean, furnished, and felt like home.  The pictures do not do it justice.  The listing description was very accurate.  If I was going back to Austin and Eduardo is still hosting, this is the place I would want to be.  Eduardo, thanks again!  "
4197763,22606661,2014-11-10,14126855,Mikaela,Eduardo was great! He was timely and responsive. His apartment was clean and the process was easy. We also had to change our reservation making it one day shorter and Eduardo was very accommodating.

Home was very clean, but not ""too clean"" as to appear not lived in. We felt right at home, and didn't hesitate to contact Eduardo if and when we needed help, which he was prompt to respond to. And of course, it's location in Austin is AWESOME. Far enough from downtown that no one was passed out on the front lawn, yet close enough that you could walk to the bars if you choose.  "
3772126,21270093,2014-10-13,10564901,Preston,Very Cool Austin home. Nice location to stay if your going to walk to ACL. 
3772126,22321857,2014-11-03,4484455,Dan,"Amy's place was great! It's got an awesome rustic cozy charm that made me feel at home right away, and was perfect for unwinding in after a long day.

Amy was also a fantastic, super friendly host.  She left a list of great places to eat nearby and made sure any questions I had were answered.  I would definitely stay here again."
3772126,28117197,2015-03-18,14226025,Jennifer,"Amy was wonderful. There were flowers, eggs and a few beers waiting for me at the cottage. The place was peaceful, quiet and very, very clean. The location was great, easy access to downtown via the bus. If I'm ever back in Austin, I'll definitely stay at the cottage."
3772126,28246525,2015-03-21,3672629,Rich,"The place was as advertised; comfortable, clean and with everything one would need. Plenty of communication and seamless process. Would highly recommend."
3772126,28455627,2015-03-23,11403964,Kat,"Really beautiful home! Cozy, unique, and really beautiful. Amy was super friendly and accommodating -- I put out a last-minute hail mary request and she totally saved us! She confirmed promptly and agreed to meet us at the house shortly thereafter (a few hours before regular check-in time) so that we could drop off our things. She was super friendly and welcoming, and provided us with a fantastic list of local recommendations. We were in a bind and she totally saved us -- extra bonus that the home was comfy, cozy, and clean too! "
3772126,37363809,2015-07-06,30380163,Ashlee,Great place and location! Amy was very easy to reach with any questions! 
3772126,52162278,2015-10-26,44114601,Crystal,The cottage was exactly as described and Amy was a wonderful host. She immediately answered any questions we had. Her cottage had a very cozy feel and was close to everything! I'd suggest staying here for anyone who wants to stay off the beaten path and but close to city life. Thank you Amy for making this a memorable trip to Austin!!!!
6078399,33024899,2015-05-24,19472462,Adnan,"Although we didn't get to meet Lucille, we still felt really welcomed at her home. She had the room ready and her daughter was a great proxy in her stead. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and they made us feel welcomed and at home. "
223230,638498,2011-10-17,90641,Kassy,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Courtney and Steve's house for a weekend and it was just perfect. The house was easy to find at night and the check-in and check-out process was a breeze. We came in to fine a nice welcome note on the table with some instructions on public transportation in the area. The house has lovely and simple decorations with a subtle bird theme throughout that I loved. The bed was very comfortable, the house was very clean, and there were fresh towels waiting for us on the bed when we arrived. They have a nice big backyard and were nice enough to let me bring my dog along for the trip and left tennis balls for her to chase. I loved that they had a nice big recycling container for everything and a compost container in the backyard- it felt like home!
We come to Austin every few months and would definitely stay here again. Thanks!! "
223230,701500,2011-11-07,220654,Oriana,"Courtney and Steven were so hospitable on such short notice, i literally booked the house the night before i arrived in town! I had a wonderful time staying in their little love nest. The house is decorated so sweet, nice personal touches, with a spacious backyard, and it was very clean even though they had been out of town without expecting anyone to visit. The beds were comfortable, the restroom is well lit and has an awesome shower head, oh and the kitchen isn't just for looks, it a has everything you need! The house isn't located in downtown Austin, but it has very easy access that will get you there, depending on where, in about 15-25 minutes. It is super close (walking distance) to Highland Mall and other good places for shopping and eating. I was lucky enough to meet the kind couple when leaving, thank you so much again for letting us leave our bags till after the festival and for a nice stay at such a delightful home! "
223230,715075,2011-11-13,1389740,Michelle,"Staying at Courtney's was my first experience using AirBnB - It was a bittersweet. On the one hand, as a mother of 2 young children, the comfort of staying in a home was great - kitchen available and separate rooms for the kids. The decoration of the place was nice and quirky. But upon further inspection I noticed that there was dog hair ""everywhere"" - not just the floors, but the sofas, toilet seat, pots/pans, etc. This is no exaggeration. In the morning I made omeletes and there was dog hair there too. I knew she had a dog but was assured that the place would be cleaned up for the night I was staying. To top it all off they left the dishwasher full of dirty dishes - apparently so we could put our own dirty dishes in as well and wash them together. Unfortunately it was almost full and there wasn't sufficient silverware for us so we had to wash dishes by hand. Also, the kitchen trash was half full. Courtney said in the rush to give us the apartment 2 hours early she forgot to take it out. I can see how that could happen but the combination of all the other things - the general lack of cleanliness - really left me unsatisfied with my stay. It was a real shame because other than that, which is a big deal, her house was nice. Still, at more than $100 dollars a night I expect at least a certain level of cleanliness - dog or no dog. If she isn't into cleaning then at least they can splurge for a cleaning lady before having (website hidden) I'm not an OCD clean freak, I have pictures of the clumps of dog hair around everywhere. "
223230,1001706,2012-03-15,402560,Dave,"Wow! OK. Courtney's home exceeded expectations.  They provided us with all the info we needed a couple of times (home info, key location, wifi password) well before we ever had to ask for it.

The house was clean: living area, kitchen, bathroom, freshly washed linens in the bedrooms. I'm a freak for clean, and it definitely was.

The Internet was a necessity and we never had a problem. The beds were WAY comfortable (much moreso than ""home"").

There were even a few extra treats to snack on. Fresh shampoo, soaps, towels, even candles. The A/C and heat worked great. The rooster crowing up the street made for a nice touch too.

We'd definitely recommend Courtney's place to responsible folks who'd enjoy a clean, comfortable, accessible, suburban destination in Austin.

I have never dealt with a more helpful or friendly host.  Courtney immediately made plans for the band's stay and was extremely understanding when car problems caused our band to change arrival plans. She did everything possible to make the groups stay as comfortable as possible.  Also,  here is my son's review:                             
 Courtney  lovely Austin bungalow was a great place to stay during SXSW. Their house has a natural calming effect and the atmosphere is very conducive to rest and relaxation after a great day at the fest. It was also in the perfect spot where we could avoid all heavy traffic to the festival and get to our show in a timely, unrushed manner. Courtney made sure to provide us with delicious muffins and fruits for breakfast as well as fresh coffee beans and a grinder for maximum caffeinated freshness! All of the rooms were neat and tidy and we could not help but feel at home. Courtney was also easy to contact if I had any questions or concerns. The neighborhood was great as well. We felt very unthreatened and safe. Great food spots and cafes are right around the block as well. We were never too far away from a good meal and late night treats. I would love to stay at their home again for SXSW next year if possible!"
223230,1075040,2012-04-02,1887423,Humberto,"My family and I enjoyed a weekend at Courtney's house.  Conveniently located off I-35 and 290, you can get to downtown Austin, the Arboretum, or the Domain within 10 min via car.  We enjoyed the fact that the house was kid friendly and the three bedrooms came in handy.  Excellent value for the price."
223230,2920362,2012-11-19,4075471,Marcelo,"we were looking for a hotel for the Formula 1 weekend in Austin, of course all of the hotels were booked 6 months prior to the event or cost prohibited...so I found Airbnb and end up with Courtney's home, this was a great alternative and very convenient...they left us breakfast and all the amenities to feel at home...Great host!!
We certainly repeat it in our next trip to Austin."
223230,2971132,2012-11-26,1312873,Emily,Our stay at Courtney's home was lovely.  The house was immaculately clean and SO very cute.  We enjoyed all the little details of our home away from home.  I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!  
223230,3179104,2012-12-29,4174609,Shirley,"This was our first airbnb renting experience and what a wonderful experience it was. We were looking for a place to spend our very first Christmas away from our family home in Michigan as two of our children now live in the Austin area and one was flying in from California. We love Christmas and were thrilled to arrive to find the house decorated for the holidays. The house was very clean and welcoming, crisp linens on the beds and I was thrilled to find a very well equipped kitchen.
Eggs, bread, fruit, milk and coffee were left for us to enjoy plus information on how to access the internet and TV.
The house is very well located to get to downtown and North Austin and is in a very family friendly neighborhood.  We all enjoyed our stay in Courtney's home and would highly recommend it."
223230,3476355,2013-02-04,407361,Mike,"Staying at Courtney's place was amazing!! Good location, very quiet and clean. Very cozy and inviting home. They welcomed us with muffins and great coffee. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to others needing to stay in Austin. Thanks Guys!!"
223230,3814691,2013-03-18,2743047,Noah,Courtney home was a perfect retreat from the madness of SXSW. It was cozy and immaculately clean. She kept excellent communication with us in the days leading up to our arrival. Couldn't have asked for a better first AirBnB experience!
223230,3970832,2013-04-01,1366295,Anne,"Courtney's home was a great place to spend a looong weekend in Austin.  The backyard and patio were great to just sit and relax and read.  Having coffee and muffins available in the kitchen was a great touch.  And I love the pour over coffee pot.  The house was the perfect size for me, my husband, and another couple.  The layout is very open and homey. ANd Courtney's communication and being easily accessible was a huge plus. "
223230,4017125,2013-04-02,5627539,Roman,The reservation was canceled 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
223230,5330375,2013-06-24,6920228,Susan,"Courtney and her family's home was perfect for our weekend getaway to Austin.  The adorable home is conveniently located to all of the wonderful things Austin has to offer. And most importantly it suited our 19 month old perfectly.  She slept great in the nursery and enjoyed playing with all of the toys.  Thanks for accommodating our dog as well.  Bacon thoroughly enjoyed the large back yard.  The home is cozy, clean and we highly recommend it.  Courtney was also super personable, easy to reach via text and email and provided lots of great suggestions for our visit.  Thanks so much for breakfast too.  We can't say enough good things.  :)"
223230,5476190,2013-07-01,2749292,Zak,"Courtney and her families place was exactly what we needed. The house was clean and very well appointed. The location is excellent and all of Austin is easily accessible. I would highly recommend a stay at this location. Thanks for everything.
"
223230,5769234,2013-07-15,5446759,Steven,"Courtney's home was the perfect place for Austin! It was in a great location and had so much more personality than a boring hotel. There were two couples and two newborns that stayed in the home and we felt very comfortable. The children loved the nursery and it was very convenient to have a crib and changing table. The home was clean and the neighborhood felt safe. 

Courtney was very easy to contact. The trip could not have been better. I would recommend Courtney's home to anyone looking for a wonderful Austin experience."
223230,6264144,2013-08-05,2906030,Preethi,"We had a great stay at Courtney's and Steve's! They have a beautiful house and they have done up the place beautifully! Courtney was very prompt with her communication and also was very helpful in suggesting places around Austin. It was very thoughtful of them to leave muffins, coffee and bananas for breakfast. 
The place was very clean and it looks just like it does in the pictures! 
Will definitely revisit if I'm going back to Austin ! 
"
223230,7324778,2013-09-16,6801122,Jessica,The home is even cuter than the photos. The area was easy to get too. There was enough space for all four of us to sleep in separate rooms with the help of two air up mattresses. I would totally recommend this to anyone.
223230,8072644,2013-10-14,8832092,George,The house is juuuuust as beautiful as the pictures are! The location was super close to ACL's parking......and the home feeling was felt by myself and my 3 friends who stayed there too! I hope to reserve this location for next years ACL....:).....! You two were great hosts ....thank you so much....!
223230,10432619,2014-02-18,998440,Suncere,"My family and I truly enjoyed our stay at Courtney's place.  The location was good as well as the accommodations.  We loved the vibe of the entire house and the ""at home"" feeling it provided.  Courtney was easy to get ahold of and we would love to stay there again in the future"
223230,13721863,2014-06-02,2867081,Michelle,"Courtney's place is awesome! Very comfortable and lovely, the location is very convinient and quiet. Courtney is a great host that very patient and friendly, my friends keep changing their mind, so we changed the head count from 7 to 10 and then 9 and then 8... Courtney never complained anything just keep adjusting price for me and said she will prepare clean sheets and towels for us! And her place even friendlier than her! We all ""wow!"" when we walked in the door, her kids looks love giraffe because we saw giraffes everywhere :D it's so cute and warm place! We really satisfied this wonderful trip!
Thank you so much Courtney."
223230,14313748,2014-06-16,7812976,Denver,"Courtney's place is Austin meets Etsy, sweet and charming. Everything in the house felt like its been thoughtfully and carefully pieced together. The moment we walked in, we felt an instant comfort and right at home. The house was very comfortable for my family of four, plus my sister and in-laws. Their nursery was perfect for our twin toddler girls who fell in love with the toys and the cute little tent. They were really sad when we had to leave! The location was central to both downtown and north Austin, with easy access to freeways. Courtney responded promptly to all of our questions and even went out of her way to accommodate us, as well as a last minute dog (who didn't even end up coming). If you're looking for something true to Austin, comfortable, child friendly, hip, and on top of that, a caring host, this house comes highly recommended!"
223230,15582405,2014-07-12,16147913,Merari,"Aww lovely home, clean and eco friendly, we are eco friendly as well and we could tell, comfortable beds, great kitchen, great communication, very good family oriented community and safe, will definitely stay here again."
223230,16463927,2014-07-28,15440112,Bonnie,We loved our stay at this house. It was great for our 1 year old son who had a blast playing with the toys. I really appreciated the crib in the nursery. The house is super cute and comfortable. A great location.
223230,18285786,2014-08-24,4927494,Facundo & Alana,"We had 4 adults and a toddler and we felt right at home at Courtney's house. The house was just as described, and we really enjoyed our stay. It was just north of the city and a quick drive to downtown. Our favorite part of the house was all of the great toys and accommodations for kids. Our daughter had a great time playing with the toys and we were so happy to have a crib for her to sleep in. We liked that she had natural cleaning products and the house was beautifully decorated. Thanks for the great stay!"
223230,22275948,2014-11-02,22297529,Arthur,"From the moment we walked in we felt right at home. Courtney was nice enough to leave us treats for my girlfriend's birthday. The house was spotless and very nice to sleep in. My favorite part is that we were so close to a lot of restaurants and stores, and the plus was that we weren't too far from the Austin nightlife. This was my first trip to Austin and I would definitely without consider coming back and booking with Courtney. Lovely place, nicely arranged in a calm quiet neighborhood. Two thumbs up. :)"
223230,25179362,2015-01-08,3708750,Beer,"Nous avons énormément apprécié la maison de Courtney : bel accueil (à distance, mais efficace et cela nous convenait car difficile de savoir à quelle heure on arriverait), la maison qui correspond aux informations données sur Airbnb, et les fleurs en plus ! On y retournerait sans doute si l'occasion se présentait.

We have fully enjoyed Courtney's home and made it ours for some days. The house was conform its description, clean and nicely decorated. It is a house in the spirit of Airbnb: real people live there and make room for you to enjoy their home for some time. This means that you encounter their personal belongings everywhere in the house, something we particularly liked. If we had to come back to Austin, we would certainly consider to rent this house again."
223230,25565586,2015-01-19,25257566,Amanda,"The listing description was very accurate. The Miller family left us a very clean and bright home. Prior to our arrival, Courtney mentioned we could help ourselves to coffee and creamer. And left a note on the kitchen table with her cell phone in case we needed anything during our stay. She also left shampoo, conditioner, body wash and baby wash (we have a 2 year old and it was very sweet of her to leave that as well). There were towels left out, too. The location of the house was great. We were in town to visit my sister-n-law and the house was just a short 10 minute ride away from my SIL's apt. Plus, it was convenient to downtown (20 minutes). We rented a car so it was great to have the driveway to park in, too. I loved having the internet as well. My husband usually has to do some work on weekends and he was able to have a good connection and that also helped him relax. This was our first time using AirBnB and of course we were unsure as to what to expect, but I would stay at Courtney & Steve's house again in a heartbeat. Prior to looking at AirBnb we were going to stay in a hotel. But decided against that given we have a toddler and wanted more space than a hotel could provide us. Throughout our 4 days in Austin, I kept thinking about how happy I was that we made this decision. I kept comparing this lovely house (with so much space for the three of us), to a hotel room. We were comfortable, we were relaxed, our daughter had her own room with a crib (added bonus), Courtney left a high chair for us, too, so we didn't have to travel with one. Our daughter slept so well in the room, almost better than she does at home, and loved playing with the toys in the house. Having the house also allowed our daughter to take decent naps in the afternoons while we watched tv, or read our books in the cozy living room and on the back patio. This is definitely a great house for a family. At the end of each day of touring Austin and enjoying the delicious food of the city, I can honestly say I really looked forward to going back to their house to relax. "
223230,27999389,2015-03-16,26124732,Jim,Nice house. Vey easy access to light rail into town. Great backyard with picnic table. Was a great place to stay for SXSW away from the insanity of downtown but with easy access to it.
223230,28210900,2015-03-20,4612909,Jeannette,"Courtney was a wonderful host that provided us with a very clean and adorable home, ready for me and my family to enjoy Austin! Everything she listed was completely accurate and she even left us some coffee to enjoy. Because we were in town for SxSW, we didn't spend too much time in the neighborhood, but the house was conveniently located near the highway which helped getting to and from downtown. 

One of the days, we accidentally locked an extra lock that we didn't have the key for and Courtney was kind enough to stop by and unlock it for us. It was certainly nice to be able to be in contact with her in case there were any problems. It was definitely a nice place to come home to after a busy day of music!"
223230,28316788,2015-03-22,4612909,Jeannette,"Due to part of my party coming in later in the weekend, I was able to reserve the lovely house on Thursday for 4 people and 7 people for the rest of the weekend. It was a perfect home for our visit in Austin. I highly recommend it to anyone who visits!"
223230,30213102,2015-04-19,4635458,Renato,"We absolutely loved our stay on Courtney's home. They live in a great location, made sure we had everything we needed and our check in/out was a breeze. I would highly recommend people come here if you're looking to be comfortable in your stay and so close to all the major points of interest in the city. Would definitely come back. Thanks again! "
223230,45169749,2015-08-31,531832,Evan,"We had a wonderful stay at Courtney's home and was very nice to come back to at the end of each day of seeing Austin.  The home is even nicer than the pictures shown as the kitchen, bath and a family room have been newly remodeled.  Check in was very smooth and Courtney checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything.  I would definitely stay here again in the future."
223230,45956052,2015-09-07,38118347,Blake,"The house was amazing. Perfect for traveling with a toddler. We were able to use their crib and room full of toys. They were so responsive and helpful as well. Great house, love the renovations."
223230,47529150,2015-09-20,43203953,Lindsey,"Courtney's home was cozy, well-kept, and right in the hub that is Austin. All four of us fit comfortably into the house with no problems. We will definitely look into staying again the next time we go to Austin."
223230,47883392,2015-09-21,38458802,Chiara,We had a wonderful experience! Definitely loved staying here! The house was super cute and very welcoming. 
223230,51916773,2015-10-25,43794821,Joel,"Courtney was very accommodating from booking to checkout. She responded very quickly to all communications, and her house was as advertised. We had access to towels, linens, coffee, kitchenware, etc. I wish we could have used the back yard more, but it rained most of the weekend. The listing doesn't highlight the yard, but it is really nice with lots of space for relaxing."
474901,10902784,2014-03-12,11520516,Betsy,"Fabulous house, great host, amazing experience.  Marit was great in booking the house, being responsive, answering questions and making sure we had what we needed.  And the home is fabulous.  As the photos depicted and absolutely spotless!  We had what we needed and it couldn't have been easier.  

We were in town for SXSW and coming to the house at the end of really really long days was such a welcome break.  Wouldn't have changed a thing and will seriously consider doing the exact same thing for next year's SXSW.  "
474901,20909971,2014-10-07,1039985,Kady,"Marit is amazing! Her home is gorgeous and perfectly clean. She left beverages in the fridge and fruit on the counter for us when we arrived. The house is even better than in the pictures. So nice, clean, and modern.  "
474901,21296452,2014-10-14,9426814,Cara,"Marit's house was absolutely fantastic.  It was spacious and clean - the pictures don't do it justice.  There was plenty of sleeping room and space for our stuff.  

There were adorable directions left for us with some other goodies - and Marit was EXTREMELY responsive our first day when finding the keys (which was super easy we were all just a little jet lagged!)

I would recommend this house to everyone. I only wish we had more time to explore the area and hang out in the beautiful back yard :)"
3091862,20852610,2014-10-06,9114593,Cody,"Great experience! 

Couldn't have chosen a better place to rent for my friends who came in town for ACL.  The house is a hidden gem - clean, modern and spacious enough to comfortably sleep and house a group of 6. 

Rachel and Kevin were great hosts. They met us on time when we checked-in and promptly answered our texts when we had questions. They were hospitable in every sense of the word - they even had welcoming gifts for us waiting in the fridge! 

Walking distance or a short taxi to downtown and Zilker park. This place is amazing. Highly recommended! "
3091862,21176005,2014-10-12,7557903,William,"Rachel was accommodating, friendly and her house was beautiful. It was a great location, quiet, great views and walking distance to ACL, restaurants and downtown. The house was a quirky, cozy space, which was well maintained and clearly cared for. I had a great weekend in Austin and left wanting more. "
3091862,28067760,2015-03-17,242630,Roman,"Great experience at the Bouldin Hideaway. The house met expectations, and was very comfortable/welcoming. Rachel was communicative and helpful when we had questions. Highly recommend for a trip to Austin!"
3091862,50454816,2015-10-12,35698722,Trish,"Rachel was a gracious host and the house was perfect, clean and with a lot of attention to guests with even the little touches. I would absolutely stay with her again. Great location too!"
8555205,52140760,2015-10-26,33995178,Thomas,The house location was great. Love Hyde park. The bed broke the first but with the help of a roommate we were able to put the mattress on the ground. Limited towels but the roommates were again very friendly and helpful to provide more towels. Aside from that we had a great time. 
5581585,28108170,2015-03-17,15685664,Birce,"She was an amazing host. We spent super comfortable 5 days at Sydney's house. Also, she has a super cool house. "
5581585,28195405,2015-03-19,3882712,Nicholas,"This place rocks! What a beautiful home and fantastic location. Sydney was an excellent host, very easy to communicate with and available when we needed her. The pictures don't do this place justice, I just wish I could've stayed longer! A+"
5581585,28433646,2015-03-23,2006664,Annie,Loved staying here! The house is a dream and the location was absolutely perfect. Sydney was a great host and would highly recommend staying here if you're ever in Austin. 
5581585,28857485,2015-03-30,17134491,Halley,We needed an easy place to quickly get in and out of that was hassle free. This was just like crashing at a friends.  The place is in a great location - close to deep eddy and downtown. Cute and eclectic with bungalow vibes... And some animal mascots. Thanks Sydney!
5581585,29872837,2015-04-13,2445249,Gary And Cassie,"Could not ask for a more accommodating hostess!  Sydney's home is perfectly located to stroll on 6th street in the quieter, classy part of 6th but then you can walk a little further to ""dirty sixth"" and enjoy some debauchery and idiot watching.  
Her home is bright, airy and artsy.  Her cats were home when we were there and we loved snuggling with them whilst reading and drinking tea.  
Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin that wants a great location and a sweet and helpful host!"
5581585,46247139,2015-09-08,8716422,Sukhia,"Sydney's home is modern and beautiful with a unique flare, in a great neighbourhood. Easy parking on the street with a permit and a couple fury friends made our visit even nicer.
Great coffee shops and cafés just down the street or you can walk to 6th street and downtown.
The house is kept at a great temperature, when we visited Austin it was 97-100F or 40C heat and Sydney's home was an oasis, especially the back deck.
Sydney was a fantastic host and I would stay here again for sure on my next visit."
5581585,47006688,2015-09-14,33124566,Wing,"I visited Austin couple times and stayed at different neighborhoods, with Airbnb and also hotels. Sydney’s place, located west of downtown, is my favorite so far. It is a bit away from all the parties so it is still quite at night, but close enough to downtown, parks and attractions, megabus station. For around $5 Uber ride, pretty much we can go anywhere we want in less than 10mins. The reservation process was quick and Sydney responded right away even though I was booking in less than 48hrs before my arrival. The house is very clean with a lovely open area at the back of the house. Above all, Sydney is a great host and provided everything we needed during our stay. I absolutely have the best Airbnb experience so far staying with her. Not only friendly hosts, they also have friendly pets with very cool outfits. I highly recommend this place to anyone who just want to have a great time in Austin! "
5581585,49568121,2015-10-04,43638361,Loran,Not only was Sydney welcoming into her home but her city as well! She made great recommendations and was happy to answer any of our questions! 
5581585,49743103,2015-10-05,45443974,Annette,"We didn't meet the host(s) in person but Sydney was very open and communicative over the phone for whatever we needed. Her roommates made sure we weren't missing anything. The home was beautiful and the open terrace in the back is gorgeous and relaxing. The neighborhood is nice and very quiet but yet we were close enough to walk to ACL/Zilker and be close to 6th street and all the action.

Her cats and dog are lovely and love to snuggle, but if you don't like pets this is probably not the place for you."
5581585,49863583,2015-10-06,40984015,Abraham,The neighborhood was very quiet and seemed very safe. The home is beautiful and Sydney was very responsive with any questions we had.
5581585,50553273,2015-10-12,21751966,Rolando,"Sydney was great at making us feel at home. Access to her home was really easy and convenient, as she has a key-less lock that opens with a code.
The listing was very accurate. The house is beautiful, clean, and comfortable.
We went to Austin with the sole purpose of attending ACL Music Festival, and Sydney's location was great, as it is within walking distance of Zilker Park, so we didn't have to drive and pay for parking.
This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was great! I would definitely recommend Sydney's place to anyone!"
5581585,51409836,2015-10-19,46640166,Victor,"Beautiful place, clean bathroom,  comfortable beds and wonderful host.  Be sure to say hi to the turtles when you walk in.  I will reserve again more than likely."
5581585,52378453,2015-10-28,47284845,Jordan,"Sydney was very welcoming, the room was nice and I had a lovely time. Great location."
5534228,28239984,2015-03-20,4144293,Timothy,"Nathan and Julie were awesome hosts. Their house is extremely clean and they were really nice. I needed shades in the shower because it was so white and bright from being cleaned. They gave me coffee everyday plus their linens and towels were cleaner than most hotels I've been to. Their neighborhood is safe and they live on a very quiet street. They are first class citizens, no complaints from me whatsoever. Thank you guys for making my trip to Austin amazing!!!! 5 Star Dwelling for sure."
5534228,28347058,2015-03-22,19105317,Maris,Nathan and Julie provided a great Airbnb experience! Their home is lovely and welcoming. It's located in a great location. Only a 20min ride to the downtown area. I would highly recommend their place!
5534228,31415230,2015-05-04,32225801,Kay,"Nathan and Julie were very welcoming from the moment I contacted them to the day I left! I requested to book their place SUPER last minute, about 3hrs before I was about to arrive in Austin, and they quickly responded and accepted my request. They were very welcoming and accommodated me in anyway I needed. The place is exactly as listed, clean and comfy! Their awesome hospitality was an added  bonus! I would definitely recommend this stay. It is in a friendly neighborhood and is about 15 mins from dt, Uber was about $20. From the airport it cost me around $25 to get here. Not bad at all. Worth $40 for this Airbnb!"
5534228,33340376,2015-05-26,33992873,Rich,"Nathan and Julie are very welcoming folks with a very clean and welcoming home.  The room was just as described, they will go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable.  The bathroom was clean and had all the basic products you would need (if needed).  It was a great 1st AirBnB experience.   When going back to Austin this would be the 1st place I'd look for a place to stay. . . and if your cool maybe Nathan will want to go to Salt Lick BBQ.  "
5534228,36346508,2015-06-27,36546399,Craig,Everything was just as promised and even though we got in after midnight it was very easy to know where to park (plenty of street parking) and where to sleep.  Nathan and Julie were very friendly and easy to talk with and had great suggestions on places to eat in Austin. The instructions they left on the bed made all of the little details easy. Would definitely stay here again.
5534228,36489135,2015-06-28,36707500,Jessica,"As advertised, beautiful house with a nice open room and bathroom upstairs. Everything was clean and in order. This is a real bargain! Highly recommended."
5534228,36618649,2015-06-29,33610182,Megan,"Nathan and Julie were great hosts! Very friendly and laid back. Their place was clean and welcoming. This is a shared space, with the bedroom by the loft also being occupied by travelers, so if you're particular about privacy and not having the rustling and footsteps of others, this might not be a good fit for you. But we enjoyed our stay!"
5534228,38935331,2015-07-19,38171319,Karyll,I had a pleasant stay. 
5534228,39253738,2015-07-21,32710305,Christianna,"Nathan and Julie were great people and their home was beautiful, modern and immaculately clean! Be aware that this is an open space, other guests will be walking by your bed (loudly in the middle of the night, no fault of the hosts!). And if you're a light sleeper, you will be woken up very early from noises downstairs. Well worth the price though, a good, safe place to stay, and the futon was surprisingly quite comfortable."
5534228,39718632,2015-07-25,22864059,Ravi Shankar,"Host is very intelligent who takes care of the minute things of the guests, the bathroom is so clean and attractive. Looking forward to stay again in my next visit."
5534228,42063240,2015-08-10,40322381,Daniel,Totally stay with them!  They are awesome.  Their house is gorgeous and they are very kind and helpful.
5534228,43301608,2015-08-18,40549875,Melodi,"Beautiful home and amazing hospitality! Loved how nice and welcoming they were, it really made our trip a great one. "
5534228,44743552,2015-08-28,30029233,Scott,"Everything was great about this stay...the price, the location, the cleanliness of the home and the comfort of the accommodations. There is no better value in Austin. Nathan was a kind host."
5534228,45298060,2015-09-01,40728766,James,"Listing was accurate, bed was neatly made just like in the picture. Didn't even see the host, so it was really quiet. Awesome shower."
5534228,47853852,2015-09-21,2553789,Raquel,I enjoyed my stay with Nathan and Julie.  They were friendly and very resourceful.  They provided me with great advice regarding places to live in Austin.  The house was extremely clean and it was located only a short distance from downtown.  I definitely recommend staying with Nathan and Julie if you are ever in Austin.  
5534228,49278411,2015-10-02,44519048,Michael,"Nathan and Julie are great hosts. They do this right! The house is even better than described. Modern appliances and decorated. Clean, quiet, friendly environment.
Nice neighborhood, ample parking and bus available to downtown Austin at the end of the street. I will refer friends and stay with Nathan and Julie again."
5534228,49413007,2015-10-03,1099508,Andre,"I only got to spend a very brief night there but people were friendly, didn't complain about my booming voice and situation was as described. Thanks for having me. "
5534228,50331161,2015-10-11,7918359,Joanna,"As last time, very nice stay. All very clean and set up conveniently. "
5534228,50734226,2015-10-13,46265199,Kari,"The host made me feel more than welcome. Even though we got there earlier that check in, they let us park in front of there house. It was a great neighborhood too. The room was perfect for a one night stay. 10/10 would stay again. "
5534228,51090686,2015-10-17,44362453,Keith,All around an excellent experience. They have made it easy for guests to come in and utilize their home. Very good communication. I was sent all the information I needed upon check in.
5534228,51256946,2015-10-18,6387638,Katherine,"This was a great stay in a beautiful home! Very convenient and clean. Thank you for being so accommodating last minute! We really appreciate it!
Katherine"
5534228,51591982,2015-10-21,32154915,Greg,"The home is immaculately clean, well appointed, stylish. The room I stayed in was the same. Julie was very nice to talk with, though my time was limited. The dogs were cute and not aggressive.  One of them and Nathan were both post recovery, so, hoping all feel better soon. Neighborhood is safe, well located to many sights. The capitol, Mount Bonnel, the salt lick were my highlights. "
5534228,51681208,2015-10-22,46778991,Charles," A beautiful home just a few miles south of downtown Austin. Nathan and Julie are wonderful and accommodating hosts.
 Even though their home was a little removed from the action of downtown Austin I was able to use the local public transportation without any problems. "
7093307,48592205,2015-09-27,248933,Ron,"I've stayed in many Airbnb's.  This has been one of the nicest.  Great attention to detail and making a guest feel welcome and comfortable. The place was accurate to its description -- actually, even better.  Gina and Steve are simply wonderful hosts.  I did not interact much with Leslie, the property agent, but she was very helpful early on setting things up."
3932152,30685113,2015-04-26,15284745,Jeanette,"I rented Aaron and Darby's house for three nights and they were very accommodating.   The house was beautifully decorated, very comfortable and it was in a great location.  This was my first visit to Austin and I had so much fun...can't wait to come back!
"
3932152,50196704,2015-10-10,5921993,Roisin,"Aaron was a fantastic host. Check-in (although a little late at 5pm), was really quick, easy and friendly. He was easy to contact before, during and after our stay and was very responsive. The house was beautiful and well-located in South Austin - we used the bicycles to get around town. Beds were comfy, back yard was HUGE and nest air-con system was easy to use.

We had a great stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Aaron and his lovely home."
5185173,28317699,2015-03-22,16925860,Annie,"What a pleasure to stay at Amy's quiet, tiny, clean gem of an apartment near the UT campus during SXSW. This was one of the most seamless and easy AirBNB experiences I've had in a while -- not entirely unlike staying at a boutique hotel."
6227809,32999451,2015-05-24,7517859,Paul,"Thank you Lindsey, for the coolest place in Austin,  for your kind attention, for selecting an amazing roster of globe-trotting guests. 

The loft is perfectly placed in downtown Austin. Everything is super clean, practical, homely and Lindsey goes out of her way to always make sure we are happy. 

I highly recommend this place and I am already missing Austin. 

Thank you Lindsey"
6227809,33339191,2015-05-26,33943922,Adenuga,"The host made me feel welcomed; Kela assisted me when I was lost in Downtown Austin. The atmosphere was great and the guests were sweet. The loft is in the heart of downtown, close to UT and State capitol. Everything was in walking distance, whether its restaurants or grocery stores, antique shops; all is there. The rooms were comfortable and quiet, bathroom with towels are provided. I had a great time. I will be back again."
6227809,33952419,2015-06-02,1346895,Gustav,"Lindsey/Kaela are amazing hosts, and I would not hesitate to stay at their space again. The space is very creative, and the hosts were super welcoming. The location can't be beat and access to the main attractions in ATX is never more than a few minutes away. Good job girls!

Best of all, there were some amazing people ""sharing"" the space when I was there. These individuals were smart, super easy going, and I could see the appeal of getting together with strangers. For anyone hesitant about sharing the space, put your trust in Lindsey/Kaela."
6227809,35932473,2015-06-23,10924104,Whitney,"Such good vibes! Thanks to lovely hosts Lindsey & Kaela, the Rock Out Retreat experience was all that I had hoped for and so much more!! I spent a good amount of time here, enough to see that these two lovely individuals really care for the people's needs and do a lot to make it a great environment in which to stay. Location is a huge plus as well. Highly recommended! Thanks again!! "
6227809,36812095,2015-07-01,35660519,Allie,"Originally I thought it was a shared room in Lindsey and Kaela's apartment, but I love that it was more like a really clean, private hostel. There were three other girls staying in the loft while I was visiting, so it was like having built-in friends on my solo vacation! 

The loft was clean and inviting. I LOVE the decor, and the fact that breakfast and snacks are provided. It's a nice above-and-beyond touch. The location is right downtown, with 6th Street around the corner, Rainey Street not too far, and a nice walking distance to the river and South Congress (not to mention food options... which are endless)!

I did meet Lindsey and Kaela once each, and they were both extremely friendly and helpful. I would be back in a heartbeat."
6227809,37391379,2015-07-06,31005662,Patrick,This place was awesome! Very clean and orderly. And it was right in the heart of downtown where everything was at. The setup was kind of like a hostel. I had a bunk bed mate in my room. But all the other guests were awesome. I went to Austin alone but immediately became friends with the other guests and spent every night with them. Good times all around!
6227809,39233341,2015-07-21,18829045,Lauren,"Great location! Very friendly people inside. I loved my stay in Austin. 
I was a little shocked to find that the walls didn't go to the ceiling. The pictures didn't really give that part away. So I could hear all the people in the loft, snoring, conversations, middle of the night phone conversations etc. If you want privacy go elsewhere. 
I'd stay hear again. You can't beat the location and price. Also, it was fun to have people to hang out with as soon as I got there."
6227809,39954517,2015-07-27,21630156,Joe,"I stayed Friday and Saturday night. The location is excellent, it's a 2 minute walk from the airport bus line and within 5-10 minutes of all sorts of shops, bars, restaurants, and live music. The space is cozy and comfy - the AC and wifi were in good working order. The kitchen was well stocked and had plenty of room for additional food. Kaela was very good at keeping me up to date with all necessary info about my stay, from info about the keys to which bus line to use, to info about storing my own food, etc. she was also flexible with my schedule and checking in & out.  The roommates were friendly and I was able to get good sleep because the house was quiet and dark after 10pm, this was particularly important since I was in town for a professional conference.  The space was clean and well taken care of with a great big calendar of events on one wall and lots of books about things to do in Austin strewn about the common area.  Overall a positive experience. 
"
6227809,42131796,2015-08-11,34939174,Dong Hai,I loved the place it was quiet and cute. Its a great place right in downtown Austin and close to 6th st (big deal). If you need a place to rest your head in between bar crawls or conventions then pick this place.
6227809,46664545,2015-09-12,41396574,Ernesto,"Very good place to stay, perfect location to move on downtown Austin "
6227809,47102188,2015-09-15,5663690,Brian,"Lindsey and were awesome, i didnt actually see ____, but she made sure I was able to get to the place and checked in regularly to make sure everything was going well. The space was really cool, feels like a hostel, free snacks were great. The location is right off congress in the middle of many fun areas Austin has to offer, if I head back towards Austin, I am for sure going to see if this space is available."
6227809,47820824,2015-09-21,3561863,Felicitas,"The loft is such a warm and friendly place to stay! If you're traveling alone, it's a great place to meet amazing people, and Lindsey and Kaela are just fabulous. They do so much to make you feel welcome and excited about Austin. "
6227809,48273472,2015-09-25,3947686,Matt & Andrew (Brother),The Rock out retreat is a great place to stay in Austin. Lindsey is a fantastic host and provides everything you need to know about Austin. She was quick to reply in messaging and super friendly in helping me out. I have stayed with her twice and will do again. 
4256862,21253997,2014-10-13,22089137,Austen,"Lora and Joie were excellent hosts! They're both super nice and very accommodating. The room was great, and the neighborhood was very quiet. I'd definitely stay at their place again. "
5629660,32225534,2015-05-15,33392261,Preston,great place
5629660,34606211,2015-06-09,3114954,Richard,"Travis, Edward's roommate, is a really nice guy and very helpful. 
The location right on the lake with a view of downtown Austin and the running and hiking trail is wonderful. The apartment was comfortable and tidy. I recommend this place to stay. "
5629660,47644606,2015-09-21,36638083,Matt,"Travis, the in-house host, was great and made the experience very personable. I was here for 1.5 months and felt right at home."
5629660,49040517,2015-09-30,9558729,Matthew,Very accommodating hosts and a great location.  Satisfactory experience for the price.
5629660,49464615,2015-10-04,42095738,Allison,"My experience staying at Edwards was amazing! Travis the house guest was super friendly and is a great person to strike up a conversation to. Staying with other guests didn't bother me at all, I actually made a few friends with them. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a friendly place to stay and trying to stay close to the city. Plus you can't really beat the lake view!"
5629660,49866806,2015-10-06,45662873,John-Paul,"This property is superb!   The listing greatly exceeded my expeactations.   I highly recommend this place to others who are seeking a hostel experience on the water!
"
5629660,50689527,2015-10-13,24555674,Victoria,"Travis was so accommodating and friendly! The other folks renting out this place at the same time really made my stay even more special. The room is hostel style (bunk beds) so make sure you're cool with that before booking. 
I really appreciate the hosts for not severly raising the prices for renting out a bed due to ACL (a huge music festival)!! Really down to earth and friendly people. "
5629660,50910846,2015-10-15,45662873,John-Paul,"Travis is superior example of humanity.   Very helpful,  and he thinks the best of everyone. "
5629660,51068941,2015-10-17,14942686,Gary,"I enjoyed my visit. I wasn't paying much attention and didn't realize it was a micro hostel, but as it turns out it was a very pleasant and interesting experience. I met some interesting people and had several pleasant conversations, and I'm sure they thought I was interesting too. ;). My only issue was that the bunk I was in was too short for me.

The location is directly accessible to the Boardwalk along Ladybird Lake. I was attending a conference at the Palmer Event Center about two miles away, and I was able to walk the entire way in the quiet and shady riverside walkway.

The location is also directly on the 100 bus line from the airport, so you can get the bus for $1.75 each way - I just gave $2. You can also get a day pass for $3.50. The bus is set up just like a larger airport shuttle with racks for bags etc. I think the bus is a limited, so I'm not sure if it stops directly in front. But you can transfer to other buses on the same route - IIRC the 20?"
5629660,51417376,2015-10-19,12912042,Jeff,"Edward's was as advertised. Very comfy and tidy. For my brief stay, I felt welcome and taken care of. Thanks for your hospitality, Edward!"
5629660,51541889,2015-10-21,31973735,Maria Jose,"Travis and Thomas are great!!!! They are the guys thats are the host. They make me fill so good!!! I had to cancel the booking because i needed a room near the downtown because of i needed walk because i hadn´t a car. Edward was so helpful with me. I didn´t meet him, but he resolved all my problems. The apartment is so nice and clean. The only problem for me was that i had to shared with 5 guys. But they were so gentle with me."
5629660,51684029,2015-10-22,1412921,Jeremy,Apt is exactly as described. Right on the water. There's even a pool!
5629660,51864848,2015-10-24,47055825,Christopher,"This was a great introduction into Austin. Great location and a wonderful, hostel environment which gave a great communal vibe to the place. "
5629660,52852049,2015-11-02,44877247,Kidco9,"Low budget drama free dorm, comfy bed in a great area.  Buses stop right out front, takes you into downtown.  I spent most of my stay participating in the Austin Film Festival and just needed a place to crash at night, so why spend more then 30 dollars for that, thanks to Edward, I didn't, and I was able to have a longer trip then originally planned. "
356719,2925575,2012-11-20,407021,Heather,"What a great place to stay in Austin!  Jai was an amazing host who makes you feel right at home. He was also always a call or text away for any concerns we had.  He provided great restaurant recommendations and the house was a relaxing respite after a busy day.  The backyard was a peaceful place to sit and chat or read,  I rarely sleep well in a new place, but I felt right at home here.  The house is in a great location, an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go.  The bedrooms were really comfortable and the master shower was awesome.  The living room had a great projector to watch movies with friends and there was a great dining table for everyone to have dinner at together. If you are looking for a great place to stay in Austin, I would not hesitate to recommend Jai's place to anyone. "
5249517,30892118,2015-04-28,2065635,Ryan,"Our stay in Austin was amazing.  Josh's place was great and a perfect location for a range of activities.   Josh is also very great at communicating, very quick with a response when I had a question.  The house was wonderfully clean and tidy and very spacious.  The retro pinball machine was a hit with the house as the record player and collection of records, I did get a high score of 4073, so there's a mark to strive for.  Josh welcomed us  and showed us around and even provided some wine and beer.  This was one of the best airbnb experiences I've had and I would definitely stay there again.  Josh is a very welcoming host.  "
5249517,33149907,2015-05-25,17421113,Doris,"Josh and Nicole were great! Even before our trip started Josh was very attentive, sending me texts and emails to prepare for our stay. The home was impeccable and we felt at ease immediately; it was so nice to have a little welcome package! The neighborhood was excellent and easily accessible from MO-PAC, a short distance away. We were guests for two nights and had a great time!"
5249517,40013728,2015-07-27,7002629,Kara,We enjoyed our stay at Casa Allandale!  The house is really cute and has everything you need and more.  We loved this location!  Josh was super easy to communicate with and he was such an accommodating host!  We would stay here again and highly recommend it!
8370503,51378965,2015-10-19,46079828,Reema,Stephanie is a great host and our stay was wonderful. The location is perfect - its so close to South congress. Quick and easy uber ride to downtown Austin. 
8502291,49703319,2015-10-05,7001780,Alex,Tracey was an excellent host. Her place was perfect and had a great location. She even went out of her way to provide snacks for our stay. The cats were also very welcoming and became friends with us. 
675759,2477451,2012-10-01,2729190,Sonia,"Location, location, location.  I visit Austin a lot, I cannot express enough the perfection of this location.  You could spend a week here and never get in your car and yet have drinks, food and entertainment.  it is also close to Town Lake and adjacent parks.  The studio is just as it says, downtown with uptown finishes.  This place is perfectly decorated for modern tranquility.  The street the condo is on is very quiet so it makes for a great respite so close to downtown!  It is safe too as the complex is gated in with access codes.  The kitchen is stocked with all the necessary supplies and there's a hair dryer, soap, shampoo, conditioner.  Just pack your back and enjoy!  I will definitely like to stay here again."
675759,2526329,2012-10-06,3727295,Sanjay,"Julia was very responsive via email and text message, and key exchange was painless.  The studio was clean, well-maintained, and exactly like the pictures and description, and the bed was super comfy!  The location was perfect for our conference at the UT campus, and it was easy to get around without a car.  We also asked her if we could leave our bags slightly past check-out because of a later flight, and she happily obliged.  Thank you for a great stay!"
675759,2708690,2012-10-24,2313395,Jessica,"The studio was exactly as listed, comfortable and stylish and in a fantastic location.  Julia was very responsive to emails and answered all our questions.  The loft is stocked with fresh towels, full kitchen, washer and dryer, comfy bed, and snacks.  We couldn't have asked for a better stay.  We rented a car for our stay but the location is so great you can get away with out having a car. "
675759,2877073,2012-11-13,3842889,Marcus,"Great location. Very nice and comfortable, has everything you need. "
675759,2894578,2012-11-16,818171,Michael,Great studio located in a great area and walking distance to pretty much everything! Would definitely stay here again!
675759,3638654,2013-02-26,149788,Mary,"My boyfriend and I spent four nights at Julia's apartment. We were very pleased with the accommodation and really enjoyed our stay in Austin. Julia was exceptionally responsive, emailing back immediately with answers to all of our questions. I was very impressed by this, especially since she was in Australia during our stay! She also has an electronic manual sent upon our confirmed reservation that was extremely helpful in regards to the apartment specifics, Austin recommendations, and transportation logistics.

About the apartment specifically: it is the perfect size for two people. (The couch folds down into a bed if you have a third person to accommodate.) The bed itself looks much smaller in the photos than it actually is in real life - we were both pleasantly surprised by the actual size and how comfortable it was! There are also several extra blankets/pillows, which were nice to have. There is plenty of room in the closet and vanity area to stow away clothes, suitcases, etc. The appliances were all very nice, and the iPod dock/television setup were nice touches. 

I think overall, the apartment strikes a perfect balance between modern and personable. It was definitely one of the highlights for our stay in Austin.

We didn't rent a car and got by fine staying at Julia's. Many buslines going all over the city are only two blocks from the apartment (only $2 for a full day pass or $1 per ride). We also walked downtown a fair amount, as it's only a 15-20 minute walk.

Also, although the laundry is in a separate room, it is FREE and right next to Julia's apartment - very convenient!"
675759,3703828,2013-03-05,5215407,Kenny,"Great apartment, very clean and great location. Owner was flexible with our requests and had great communication!"
675759,3760137,2013-03-12,3737282,Rosie,"I booked Julia's place for a colleague who was in town for SXSW. Julia was communicative and great, and my colleague enjoyed his stay at her place!"
675759,3962770,2013-03-31,5242525,Harsh,"I had the pleasure of staying in this awesome studio for 13 nights, where Julia was a wonderful host! It did not feel like she wasn't around a tad bit, as communicating with her was very easy, and she followed up within 24 hours with answers and suggestions to all my queries. I highly recommend her studio as she has a fully loaded kitchen, bathroom and living room with all appliances and luxuries! Absolutely a much better choice than living in a hotel suite! I would love to stay again at her place :)"
675759,4014137,2013-04-02,5608239,Shikha,Julia was a fantastic host and worked to ensure we had a great stay.  The location is ideal and the parking is very convenient.  Big thanks to Julia!
675759,4078472,2013-04-08,3701871,Kerry,"A great base from which to explore the city. Clean, comfortable, easy. "

675759,4293218,2013-04-25,5640560,Wendy,"Lovely, clean, contemporary little studio in a great, walkable location! Julia was very responsive and helpful, though booking and checking in/out was so simple, very little communication was even necessary. Highly recommended!"
675759,4646154,2013-05-18,5154588,Molly,"I wanted to leave Los Angeles for a few weeks and collect my thoughts in a safe space that I could also work from. I looked at places all over the world and ultimately decided on Julia's place. It's small, comfortable and clean, a perfect getaway for me and my pooch. I loved the 'hood, the neighbors were quiet and Julia was just the best. Responsive, cool, understanding and professional. 

Other bonuses: This apartment is truly livable. Basics like shampoo and body wash were plentiful, the kitchen had tons of appliances that I got great use out of and the TV is basically brand new. The OnDemand movie selection was dope. 

The only con, which was the slightly slow internet, immediately turned pro when I texted Julia and let her know it wasn't working well. She had the modem restarted within twenty minutes. You can't do better than that. 

Selfishly I want to keep the place to myself, but it'd be bad karma. Seriously-- if this place meets even your most basic requirements, you'd be a freakin' fool not to book it. "

675759,7514878,2013-09-23,8048823,Andrew,"We had a great stay at Julia's studio apartment, which is conveniently located near the UT campus and downtown.  There are a lot nearby attractions and dining options (ranging from national chains to more local/regional restaurants).  Julia was a wonderful host, and we will definitely stay here again the next time we come down to Austin."

675759,10266532,2014-02-10,1785046,Monica,"My friend and I recently stayed at Julia's Studio when we were visiting Austin for the weekend. We had such a nice stay and would definitely stay there the next time we're in Austin. The apartment is very clean, spacious, cute, and in a great location. Julia is also very prompt if you ever need to reach her and provided us with great recommendations on where to grab a drink/food nearby. Thanks again Julia! "
675759,10380144,2014-02-17,10554759,Jennifer,The condo was everything I expected and more. Julia was a great host & responded quickly to any inquiries. Location was convenient to downtown. I would definitely recommend this place to friends and family. 
675759,11618652,2014-04-09,7786503,Mallorie & Pierre,"We had a wonderful stay in Julia’s apartment. It is exactly as portrayed on the Airbnb site: simply but tastefully decorated and furnished, comfortable, immaculately clean and very well equipped. We had everything that we needed. The adjacent laundry room and the reserved parking space are a plus.

What makes the apartment even more interesting is its absolutely fantastic location in the center of Austin. A very nice, quiet, leafy neighborhood within easy walking distance to the University of Texas campus, the Capitol building and the downtown restaurant and music scene. What’s more, Julia is very responsive and helpful. We would not hesitate to stay in this apartment again. In fact, we most definitely will, as we come to Austin once a year.
"
675759,11716241,2014-04-13,413365,Marc,"Julia had a great place to stay for our first visit to Austin. Very clean, comfortable, and close to downtown! Check-in and out was easy. Would certainly stay here again!"
675759,11851917,2014-04-16,11284996,Alicia,The reservation was canceled 196 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
675759,12488987,2014-05-04,12484106,Wendy,A lot of our time was spent downtown and Julia's place was close to everything.  The studio looked exactly like the pictures and the neighborhood was quite.  The traffic on I-35 was always backed up.  This studio had everything we needed for our 10 day stay.  We would consider staying here again if we make it back to Austin.
675759,15000192,2014-06-30,4724034,Ross,"Julia's studio was perfect for my weekend Austin getaway! Very clean and comfortable, good location as well. Although our interaction was limited to the telephone, Julia was very organized and easy to contact with any questions. Will stay here again for future visits!"
675759,17031474,2014-08-05,2091194,Paul,"The studio was perfect for our short visit to Austin.  We especially appreciate Julia's ability to accommodate our last minute request!  The studio was very clean, well equipped, in a great location with private, off-street parking.  We really enjoyed being able to play music from our iPhone using the docking station that was provided."
675759,18423992,2014-08-26,14517264,Kristin,"The apartment turned out to be perfect for me and my friend. We had never been to Austin before and until we got the lay of the land, we didn't realize how central we were! Uber rides were all about $8-9 and 7 min to everywhere we wanted to go. The apartment itself was very comfy and the couch/futon combo was great. We had a slight issue with running out of TP and Julia went above and beyond to fix it and brought us delicious treats from a nearby store. Overall, we were impressed with how easy it all was and would definitely recommend staying here."
675759,19521871,2014-09-14,14691454,Megan,"We had a wonderful stay! The studio apartment was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Julia was incredibly responsive. She responded in minutes after I lost the email with the door code. Thanks Julia!"
675759,19786155,2014-09-18,20442281,Karl,Convenient to UT and downtown. Clean and the perfect size. Julia's apt was perfect for my trip. Thank you!
675759,21601200,2014-10-20,6051664,Jessica,"Great communication with Julia, she was quick to respond and the condo was very clean and pre stocked with coffee (huge +). She provided any information I could have needed and it was overall a great stay. "
675759,21751478,2014-10-23,1249292,Robert,"This was a great choice.  The apartment was clean, modern, and had all the appropriate amenities.  The bed was comfortable and the location was perfect.  A short walk to the convention center and a handful of places to eat.  Definitely recommend."
675759,23013362,2014-11-20,22448912,Veronika,"Great location, great apartment, just as described.  We had a rental car and parking at the apartment was very convenient.   But you could easily get around without a car.  It is a quiet neighborhood (very safe), but still close to everything. Walking distance to UT (it took me only about 10 minutes in the mornings to get to the business school).  We also often walked to get dinner.  Driving to downtown only takes a few minutes.  Capitol is in walking distance as well. Access to laundry is very convenient.  The apartment has cable TV, which is handy for longer stays.  WiFi worked smoothly.  Great kitchen, new appliances.  We had everything we needed.  Thank you!"
675759,23183878,2014-11-24,8497838,Kip,"Hi Julia,

"
675759,24975799,2015-01-04,8278575,Chris,"The condo was just as described and very detailed instructions were provided prior to arrival. My wife and I spent two weeks here over the holidays and felt right at home. Would stay here again if we needed a place in Austin for an extended period of time, great location and furnishings are perfect for an extended stay."
675759,25559121,2015-01-19,25429489,Alex,Very comfortable stay!
675759,25828428,2015-01-26,9498462,Rob,"Very clean, well-appointed apartment. Perfect for a weekend stay in Austin and in a nice neighborhood near UT and the State Capitol building. Julia stopped by on the night I arrived and was very friendly. Would highly recommend for any others looking for a nice, central jumping off point in Austin!"
675759,25972259,2015-01-31,1976709,Arnaud,"The place was lovely, it was my first time in Austin and I would totally come back to this place.

The neighborhood is very quiet and downtown is only a few minutes away.

Thanks Julia!"
675759,26195624,2015-02-06,26909512,Kelli,This place is very cute and clean as pictured. 
675759,26524705,2015-02-15,1788726,Jonathan,"We had a wonderful stay at Julia's.  The condo was SPOTLESS and had all the amenities we'd want or need.  The neighborhood is great - both quiet and close to both UT and a short walk to downtown.  Julia herself was incredibly organized - it was easy to find the apartment and get the key.  She was available via text should we have needed her, but she was so organized that it didn't prove necessary.  One of the best AirBNB experiences I've had.  Thanks Julia!  "
675759,26823845,2015-02-20,17260737,Nichole,"The location was ideal.  The unit was quaint and fully stocked with cooking amenities, toiletries, etc.  Bed was very comfortable. Most areas have been fully updated.  Parking is pretty tight for large vehicles.  "
675759,26915996,2015-02-22,10633495,Barry,"I was visiting my son at UT Austin for the weekend and the apartment was a perfect location for all of our activities. My son picked me up from the airport and when we arrived at the apartment we had a designated parking space, which was much appreciated, and made life easy from the start. Julie was a pleasure to deal with and made it very easy for me to get in and begin enjoying Austin. The place is very cute, nicely decorated, and clean. I would definitely stay there again."
675759,27253125,2015-03-01,25514123,Jean,"The listing was very accurate. The apartment was beautiful, location was fantastic."
675759,27444890,2015-03-04,1157008,Kirsten,"I never made it to Austin because icy conditions canceled thousands of flights, including mine. Although I booked only six days earlier (so unlikely she'd lost other customers), Julia still charged me 50%--be aware her cancelation policy is for real. To be fair, Julia did compromise: her policy calls for 100% charge for no-shows. FYI my Dallas hotel booked for later in the week waived the cancelation fee altogether. "
675759,27524873,2015-03-06,28723636,Gina,A warm and welcoming space with everything you could need.  Great towels and sheets. Everything was just as presented on website. Quiet street with plenty of on street parking.  Would definitely stay there again
675759,27646009,2015-03-09,3382807,Liza,Accurate pictures/description and a very quiet neighborhood over the weekend my husband and I were there. Perfect landing spot for our Austin weekend. If you stay here you MUST try Tiff's Treats for a warm cookie!
675759,28116897,2015-03-18,23462138,Kayla,"I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while visiting Austin! This was a really nice studio, centrally located, with all the finishing touches to make me feel comfortable and at home. The place was well organized, clean, and stocked with all the ""extras"" and necessities. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Austin! "
675759,28317457,2015-03-22,9997124,Jaley,"This spot was so cute, clean and perfect for getting out of the SXSW chaos.  Julie met me at the condo with groceries that were exactly what I needed for the week.  She had bagels and juice and oh yeah, wine! I'd stay here again and recommend it to friends who wanted a little piece of heaven away from the madness at the end of the night. "
675759,29046289,2015-04-03,6065720,Timothy,"Julia was very responsive (she'd sent me an email with entry instructions which I missed, and when I called her, she called right back).

The apartment was clean and fully furnished.  There were 3 of us (myself, my wife, and my son), and we were all comfortable during our stay.  Quiet street (as quiet as can be in a city), convenient location, easy parking.  We were able to adjust the temperature as needed (a fan plus central heating worked well).    Bed was firm.

We were very happy and would definitely stay here again!  "
675759,30601444,2015-04-25,12484106,Wendy, We stayed here last year and when we decided to come back Austin we decided this was the best place to stay for what we needed.  The accommodations have been kept in good condition.
675759,31188744,2015-05-03,13099557,Bill,Julia made everything a breeze. The place was in a great location. Ubers were cheap. Definitely would stay again.
675759,31803468,2015-05-10,25580306,Antonio,"Let me just say this studio is very nice. It was exactly as shown in the pictures- neat, clean, and stocked with the basic bare essentials for a comfortable stay.The place is central to downtown but on a quiet street making it excellent for walking and staying away from the main crowd. Julia was very responsive and quick to answer any questions i had during my stay. She's very nice. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. A+"
675759,32242869,2015-05-16,4658834,Debby,Julia's apartment is great. Very clean with a great kitchen and bathroom.  The bed is very comfortable. Very convenient location. We would stay there again.
675759,32966945,2015-05-24,13382113,Allison,"The apartment was clean and tidy, with a nice kitchen and a big closet. It was walking distance to the UT campus, and I was there for graduation, so that was very handy. It was easy to access the apartment and the complex. Julia was quick to respond beforehand with all questions."

Beautifully decorated and comfortable!!"
675759,36316598,2015-06-27,35494129,Joe,"I stayed at Julia's whilst in Austin for work for two weeks.  Lovely modest apartment, very clean and cosy, and useful to have off road parking.  Julia was also very friendly and made herself available for help if i needed it."
675759,38776470,2015-07-18,1257962,Babar,"It was my first time in Austin and I stayed in Julia's studio for nearly a week. It was the perfect place to stay - right next to UT Austin in a quiet street and walking distance to a lot of good restaurants. The studio is clean, modern and has everything you need. I did not meet Julia on arrival, but she was readily accessible by phone. The instructions she sent before my arrival were good and helped me settle in easily. If you are going to Austin, I would highly recommend staying here."
675759,39451632,2015-07-23,1764954,Courtney,"Julia was a very helpful host who answered my questions quickly.  The property itself was clean, straightforward to access,  and had all I needed for my short stay in Austin.  The location, near the University was convenient and an easy walk to down town. Joggers might be interested to know it is accessible to trails in Pease Park and along Town Lake.  There were plenty of easy food choices nearby too: Starbucks, 7-11 and a few fast food places.  Good rental!

"
675759,39852211,2015-07-26,38712148,Megan,"We arrived in the evening and the apartment looked just as advertised. It was very clean and nice. Julia was available to answer questions if we had any, but her instructions were sufficient. I would recommend this place - we called it home for 2 nights!"
675759,43369272,2015-08-19,34821469,Shaaban,"My stay at this apartment was very good and comfortable. I really like it. Julia was also very helpful, very positive and outstanding for support and solve problems that may arise. Thanks Julia,
Shaaban"
675759,44017152,2015-08-23,21504586,Rachel,"Stayed 5 nights and had a great experience. Apartment was exactly as described and everything was clean and in good shape when we arrived. Location was very convenient to campus & not a long walk to downtown restaurants & bars. Appreciated that this apartment also included a desk/workstation, since I worked from home for two days while my husband was in class. Having a reserved parking spot was also very convenient! Will definitely stay here again."
675759,46750098,2015-09-13,41164359,Sergio,Very clean and comfortable apartment.  Fantastic location within walking distance or a short drive away from many desired locations.  Community surrounding apartment was quiet.
675759,48524021,2015-09-27,39771733,Emily,The listing was very accurate. The location was great and easy to walk to restaurants and campus. It was clean and the parking spot was an added bonus. 
675759,49920398,2015-10-07,1464635,Adrian,Nice studio. Clean and has everything. Near UT campus. Can go for runs on the Shoal Creek Trail. 
675759,50986776,2015-10-16,28723636,Gina,"I love this place!   My second time to stay.  Such a nice quiet street but close to campus and downtown. A comfortable , cozy place with everything you need to feel at home!"
675759,51678868,2015-10-22,46712469,Dawn,This was my first Airbnb stay and it was a great experience.  I'm actually quite glad all of the local hotels were sold out for the event I was attending.  This particular condo was exactly as described and very comfortable.  The area provided easy access to everything I needed to do and was in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood.   Thanks so much for sharing Julia.
4173991,22193997,2014-11-01,4871914,Alex,I enjoyed the location of the house. My room was very spacious as well as the other locations in the house. it was relatively easy to find parking on the street. The neighborhood itself was very quiet and peaceful with very little traffic. The other two rooms were occupied by roommates but where hardly there so I felt as if I had the place all to myself. The shower curtain was a very big hassle because it would push into the shower and try to wrap around my body. And water would spill out the sides and get the floor wet. I think the only thing I would have enjoyed better would be the wireless Internet. Maybe because of the positioning in the house relative to the modem that I didn't receive a good connection and the Internet seemed slow. 
4173991,28338849,2015-03-22,23445690,José Ignacio Santiago,"The place was really well located and really cosy and Nice. I had a room just for myself, which a desk, in which I could work. The house also had heating, so the cold was not a problem. The day I fist arrived, the hosts came to greet me and explained all. They were really nice and helpful. Also they shared with me vualuable information from Austin."
4173991,33607190,2015-05-30,28091902,Fernando,"The room (not in the pictures) has a bed, a closet, a nightstand, a desk and a chair, nothing too fancy. I found the chair a bit uncomfy, but I barely used it since I preferred to sit on the couch in the living room. The windows were not working, but I didn't mind and kept them closed because it was pretty humid outside. The rest of the house is pretty nice. The living room and the kitchen are both pretty big and well-equipped. They also have a hammock in the backyard!

The location was pretty convenient, around a ~15 minutes walk from UT Austin and right next to a creek with trails where you can go jogging or walking. Although, this also had the disadvantage that mosquitos might get very annoying.

The hosts were also really nice - they were always worried about anything I needed. All in all, this was a good experience. Totally recommended for the price!"
4173991,34601254,2015-06-09,27796652,Taylor,This was a great place to stay! It was very close to town and the house was very well kept and comfortable. The host was very nice and helpful.
4173991,37906016,2015-07-11,8478617,Steve,Great host as usual. Host cleaned and kept up place periodically during my stay.
4173991,51009771,2015-10-17,35544344,Tobias,"Nice house, very nice and helpful people and pretty close to UT  and the busses going downtown. It is a bit older so don't except anything fancy but I felt very much at home.  "
1059128,7353509,2013-09-16,2776634,Jerri,"Our stay, overall,  was good. John was a GREAT host. He was accomadating and punctual. His kitchen was equipped for use. We couldnt get the tv to work but there was a beautiful yard and the place was very spacious!  "
1059128,8813583,2013-11-19,3569427,Franklin,"Our group (8 people) spent the weekend the Formula 1 racing at John's Ranch if we do have a good time. The place was as described. Comfy beds and a clean space. We spent most our time at the event but we all have a restful night. John was a nice host ready to help, chat, our give directions is needed. We look forward to stay at his place in future trip to Austin."
1059128,10475371,2014-02-20,2589884,Kate,The reservation was canceled 16 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1059128,11386878,2014-03-31,13601466,Danielle,"We had a great stay at John's house this past weekend.  Booked very last minute, but John was very agreeable, accommodating, and communicative.  He even made us blueberry scones! We saw him some, but we mostly went our own ways-  we were in town for a family wedding, so were very busy with that.  

The house was as we expected, plenty of space for us, clean and comfortable.  The location was convenient to the freeway, but there was some freeway noise at night (but we're in the city, so city noises are to be expected!). The back yard had a comfortable deck and hammock, and his cute dogs were so quiet, we didn't even know they were there until day 3!  

I would definitely recommend staying at John's house."
1059128,18914296,2014-09-02,20335508,Sandra,"As a first time Air Bnb'er, I was not quite sure what to expect, but wanted to stay somewhere more homey feeling than a hotel. John's house did just that. John was accommodating and we were able to fully enjoy our Austin trip better than I think we would have if our group would've stayed in hotel rooms. :)"
1059128,21944007,2014-10-27,196449,Saskia,John's house was spacious and comfortable. The location definitely requires a car as it is a very residential neighborhood. John was friendly and helpful but be aware that he may be living in the RV that is parked in the driveway and often popped by unannounced. Also he has 2 large dogs that are in a fenced off area of the yard. 
1059128,22354888,2014-11-04,5282929,Benny,The House was great. We had an amazing weekend. John did a good job on accommodating us. Thanks!
1059128,24005857,2014-12-16,1476120,Beau,"John's place is in a quiet neighborhood just North of Austin. My friends and I had a great time hanging out. John was out of town when we arrived, but we got to meet him later. There was plenty of space indoors and outside, and unique art. He's helping keep Austin weird - in a good way! "
1059128,28036239,2015-03-16,7388210,Rosten & Laura,"Our stay at John's place was lovely. He's got a spacious and inviting home that was nearly perfect for our group of 9. (I say ""nearly"" because the only downside we noticed was that the kitchen could have used some more plates, silverware, and baking dishes for a group our size. Not a big deal, though, especially for a smaller group.) The back yard is great, the hammock is comfortable, the atmosphere of the place is relaxing and enjoyable. I only wish we could have gotten a chance to talk with him a bit more!"
1059128,28877974,2015-03-31,27664391,Marshall,John was a gracious and helpful host . His roomy well located home was just as described and made it possible for three generations from FL to visit with our TX relatives. I would definitely recommend John's place if you need to accomadate 6 to 8
1059128,29822492,2015-04-13,25888744,Leslie,"My extended family stayed here for 2 nights in April while they were in town for my wedding. John, the host was very accommodating and responsive to all of my questions and requests. The house was comfortable and spacious and allowed for a lot more quality facetime with each other vs. if we had all rented hotel rooms. Definitely recommend. Thank you!"
1059128,30304076,2015-04-20,4223641,Lauren,"We were very disappointed with our stay and our communication with John.  Prior to our arrival I text John with no response and had to call twice before I could reach him to confirm the access code. During our conversation he notified me that his dogs are staying on the property and he would be the following night.  This detail was not on the listing when we booked and was added after we stayed here.  When we arrived at the house the dogs were in the laundry room (accessed from garage) and I called John to confirm that we rented the entire house and to ask if we needed to feed the dogs. He informed me that his neighbor would be coming by to feed them.  We are dog lovers and we felt very sorry for these dogs home alone with the owner out of town and gave them fresh water. After going out for dinner we returned to the house - about 5 minutes later the dogs startled my mother - we did not realize they had come inside while we were gone through the laundry room. Our dogs started scrapping but we were able to separate. The house overall was not clean :master bedroom sheets had stains that had not been washed; lacked fresh towels; dusty; bugs/flies in pantry and throughout house. The mattresses in the 3rd br were very hard. I had to use my body weight (125 lbs) to enter the front door because it sticks pretty bad. The neighbor came through a door in the backyard (without letting us know) to feed the dogs but turned around when he saw us. There was a note on the kitchen counter from the previous guests so we do realize that John had not been in the house since those guests had stayed there (about a week or so I think). We feel that John should have had someone check the house prior to our stay to ensure it was cleaned. When John arrived Saturday we expressed our concerns but there was no solution offered.  John smoked in the garage that night and we could smell it in the house. We had to monitor our dogs in the backyard because the dogs were barking at each other through the fence that separates the yard (all dogs being territorial).  Had we known of the dogs & John staying on the property we would not have booked here. We looked into leaving during our stay but could not find dog-friendly availability.    We came to Austin to attend a classic car show my Father had been looking forward to for months.  This was supposed to be a relaxing getaway weekend for my parents (one is caretaker and one has cancer) but was very stressful, uncomfortable and disappointing.  "
1059128,31937031,2015-05-12,1623220,Nicole,"John was a gracious host from the beginning. The house was spotless and has a cool atmospheric vibe to it. There is artwork everywhere and a lovely bungalow (bungaLOVE) in the back area. Beds were ridiculously soft and there were numerous shamppos/ soaps/ towels to keep us going through the 6 days. Everything was above and beyond what we expected. We relaxed in the house a lot since it was raining from time to time but that just bettered our trip. The keyless entry is great as well. We loved staying here, as it is central but still in a quiet neighborhood where we could actually get some sleep (live in NYC). We met his adorable, well behaved dogs, Sampson and Delilah. Thanks John for having us! "
1059128,33181618,2015-05-25,33507117,Nicholas,My time here was great. Very comfortable and in close proximity to everywhere where anything is going on. I had a fantastic Stay here.
1059128,35764785,2015-06-22,25770608,Rico,"This house was just as described, very spacious and was able to accommodate my extended family with ease.  I would definitely stay there again and it's in close proximity to I 35!"
1059128,36600448,2015-06-29,35729058,Aaron,"Great location, spacious! When, not IF, we return to Austin, we are going to book with John again. Great host! "
1059128,37211357,2015-07-05,2687540,Adrian,"We had a great stay at Johns place. There was plenty of space for our group and bedding, which were pretty comfortable. We had everything  we needed to accommodate our stay."
1059128,37513779,2015-07-07,36463215,Chase,Nice cozy house with plenty of space for everybody. Exactly as advertised. Good neighborhood in close distance to a lot of good things.
1059128,39936058,2015-07-27,31869102,Jeannette,"John and his house were fantastic for a long weekend with several friends.  There was plenty of space for a group of 8 including an infant, a big kitchen well-stocked with supplies to make lovely meals, and John was a kind and accommodating host.  The neighborhood was quiet and had easy access to the city.   I would recommend this house to anyone looking to gather a group together in Austin!"
1059128,40982643,2015-08-03,38394963,Christie,"We were doing a girls' trip in Austin and first time using AirBnb.  John is great host!  He responds to messages and questions very quickly which makes first time renters feel more at ease.  His place was very spacious and very well decorated with nice furnishing.  We had 6 people the first night and 10 the second night, and we were comfortable both nights.  He was there in and out during our trip and is also very nice in person.  Overall, we were pleased with our stay and would love to book again if we are in the area."
1059128,42038859,2015-08-10,39457345,Courtney,John was very prompt and professional with his responses from the very beginning.  He made us feel welcome upon arrival with fresh blueberry scones.  The house was very clean and comfortable for all ten individuals. 
1059128,43114072,2015-08-17,32374419,Carmelo,"John's home was just as he described, very spacious and comfortable.  It was the perfect place for me and my family and was conveniently located to downtown and SoCo.  John was a great host, and ensured we had everything we needed.  I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. "
1059128,45223682,2015-08-31,42707393,Lui,"John was a great host, his house was great! It was spacious and very clean. The rooms where large and even though we where a large number of people staying there for the weekend, it never felt cramped. The neighborhood was quiet and laid back, I definitely felt comfortable. I would highly recommend him and would love to rent with him again!"
1059128,47827316,2015-09-21,27749231,Ben,Had a great time! John had baked us treats and left them out when we got there. The house is the epitome of Austin! We loved it.
1059128,49887373,2015-10-07,24317394,Christian,"We had a great time staying at John's place. Everything went very smoothly, from arrival to departure. The house was spacious and served our needs perfectly. We were 5 people in total. Johan was available for any questions we had, but was never in our way or interfered in anyway. We felt very welcomed. When we were leaving I forgot my jacket in the house, and only noticed when I was at the airport. I called John and he drove there to meet up with us, if he hadn't the jacket would still have been in Austin. For us and our needs this was perfect so nothing to complain about. 

Only downside was possible that the location of the house was a bit further away from where we were spending most of our time than we expected, as visiting filmmakers with a feature film at Fantastic Fest. So the logistics with cars and being 5 people was more complicated than we first thought it would be, but that was all on us. And at the end of the day, we were very comfortable. "
1059128,52055323,2015-10-26,38092833,Ashley,"The house was exactly like John described it.  It was large, roomy, and clean.  Perfect for a bunch of girls hanging out on one of the rainiest weekends in Austin! It was relatively close to everywhere we wanted to go, and easy to get to.  We had a great time!"
6413,20322,2009-12-14,57646,Chris & Adriana,"Had a wonderful time at this awesome, spacious studio. It had a fully stocked kitchen, fluffy towels and an incredibly comfy bed. It was so clean and bright from all the natural light and windows.  My husband and I stayed her for a week and were blown away by the hospitality from Todd and his lovely wife. They left a bottle of red wine and fresh fruit on the counter along with a variety of tea's and a coffee press. When we asked them to adjust the temperature of the water heater ( it was cold that week), we received an email from Todd that it was adjusted in time for my next bath. We highly recommend this place to anyone traveling through. Great location. Great people. Fantastic value!"
6413,70530,2010-07-29,137293,Kim,"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely studio apartment.  We were here on vacation to see the sights.  The decor is calming and comfortable, the patio is completely secluded and private.  Todd and Amy were helpful by giving suggestions for swimming holes nearby.  We rarely saw them just waved a friendly hand in passing.  The kitchen had all sorts of snacks and bottled water stocked which was a pleasant surprise.  Lastly, the location in Travis Heights is just so convenient by either car or bus."
6413,101248,2010-09-20,223050,Justin,"Todd and Amy were incredible hosts. The Gem of a Studio was great! Close to all of Austin's downtown offerings. We were minutes away from great dinning, live music, and incredible parks. The studio is also a great home base for riding bikes around Town Lake trail. It had everything we needed for a getaway weekend. We had a great time... can't wait to stay again!"
6413,114889,2010-10-09,244063,Carl,"We had a completely enjoyable stay at Amy and Todds's Riverside Gem.  The place was quiet, convenient to everything, immaculate, and the cottage was everything advertised, with more than a few personal thoughtful touches thrown in. We'll certainly consider this to be our first choice whenever we stay in Austin!"
6413,146998,2010-11-30,228148,Melinda,"The Brand's studio apartment was a ""gem"".  It was so comfortable, quiet and welcoming.  We loved the french press coffee!  We also fell in love with Austin, TX and are ready to move there!  We would highly recommend staying with the Brand's on your next visit to Austin."
6413,201184,2011-03-17,314003,Jim,"Todd and Amy's place is really fantastic - totally up-to-date, beautifully furnished, very clean-- and you even have your own private patio!  It felt absolutely comfortable, and - dare I say? - luxurious.  The studio is perfectly located between downtown Austin and Austin's fun and hip Soco neighborhood.  If you're coming to Austin for SXSW, you'll be perfectly located (an easy 15 minute walk to the Convention Center) and you'll find that this place offers a lovely, peaceful respite from the fast-paced and frenzied SXSW environment.  Todd and Amy were very gracious hosts, helping me get settled in and answering all my ""Austin newbie"" queries.  They even set me up with some coffee beans and tea upon my arrival...it's the little things!  They're glad to share their awesome city with others, and you'll be happy to have them as a resource during your stay. "
6413,1421945,2012-06-05,1539496,Angelica,"Todd and Amy were the best hosts. They were communicative beforehand and went out of their way to give us information on where to eat, sites to see, and since we plan on moving to Austin later this year, they even provided information on neighborhoods to visit. The studio is stylish, simple and clean. My fiance and I enjoyed the accommodations very much and the location is one that can't be beat! You're minutes away from everything wonderful in Austin and still have a nice quiet place to come relax when the day is through. It's private and comfortable - so easy to feel at home instead of a cold hotel room. STAY HERE - you won't regret it!"
6413,7510887,2013-09-23,7427731,Ashmi,We had a wonderful time staying at the Amy and Todd's studio for a month when we moved back to Austin! They were friendly and helpful! They even helped us have a bicycle delivered before we arrived! We highly recommend staying here! 
6413,11044295,2014-03-18,10423894,Kyle,"We booked Todd and Amy's studio for our stay during SXSW 2014 and it was absolutely perfect. Easy walk to both Rainey St/Downtown/SOCO. The studio was extremely comfortable and private with every need catered for. Todd and Amy were exceptional hosts even driving us to the supermarket/ stocking the fridge with water/ laundering our linen during our stay and offering to drive us to the airport.
Would love to stay again, maybe next year!"
6413,11278516,2014-03-28,7204565,Martha,"Amy and Todd's ""Gem,"" was all that! Great location, easy to downtown where all the ""weird"" happens! Lovely space with all you could need, comfy bed and the private patio was such a nice addition, afternoon margaritas anyone ? The neighborhood of Travis Heights is beautiful with all the Craftsman style homes and winding streets. .Austin is a special city  and we cannot wait to go back !  The only draw back was the noise of the street, but we are country kids and I am sure you would get used to it! "
6413,12339860,2014-04-29,4683718,Shanti,"This is a really wonderful place to stay, and close enough to be within walking distance of the Convention Center, which was our primary need. The photos, though lovely, don't quite do justice to the studio. It's enormous, with vaulted ceilings and impeccable furnishings.  Everything-- appliances, climate control, fixtures-- were all modern, and the bed was very comfortable.  The fresh coffee beans, grinder, and coffee maker, especially, were enormous assets in the early mornings...!  I only wish we'd had the opportunity to enjoy the private patio in the back (it really is quite private). 

The hosts were very friendly and accommodating.  They were available to answer questions, but also left us to our own devices as desired. Given the comfort of the accommodations, the experience was much like a bed and breakfast, but with more privacy.

If you are sensitive to traffic sounds, the area might be a bit loud for your tastes, but late at night with the fans running we couldn't really hear anything outside the studio. The neighborhood felt safe, but the home in particular is quite secure with restricted access and an alarm system.  (We weren't particularly concerned with traffic or security before visiting-- this is added only for the benefit of guests who might be.)

A truly wonderful place to be for several days-- I only wish we could have stayed for a longer period of time!"
6413,12655175,2014-05-07,283669,Mitch And Claire,"Amy & Todd's studio far exceeded our expectations during our stay in Austin. If you're looking at the pictures, it's even nicer in person! Completely renovated, spacious and immaculate, every small detail impressed us. The studio is very private and the surroundings are leafy & green. We felt so at home here. 

It's only a short walk through the gorgeous suburb of Travis Heights to get to South Congress where we spent most of our time, and an easy walk over the bridge to get to downtown Austin. 

Amy and Todd themselves are two of the warmest people we met in Austin and happily helped us with directions and recommendations.

Hot tips! Do check out Barton Springs if you're visiting during hot weather, it was a definite highlight for us and the best way to cool off - we jumped on the b-cycles and got there in 20mins with a few stops on the way. And for a great night out, bar hop down Rainey Street - it's a unique strip of houses-turned-bars, very cool and worth the wander!

Highly recommend this gem of a studio!

- Mitch & Claire

6413,21264635,2014-10-13,22278910,Kelli,"My husband and I stayed here for the weekend and it was wonderful.  The apartment is peaceful and very accomodating.  We were able to ride our bikes to Barton Springs easily, which was quite a convenience.  The comfort and convenience was worth every penny and we look forward to returning as soon as we can!  Thanks for extending your backyard digs, you were great hosts!"
6413,21613139,2014-10-20,16879704,Meghan,"We couldn't have been happier staying at Amy's adorable studio. It was everything she described and so much more. It was so easy to get to all of the great neighborhoods in Austin. Amy and her husband Todd were extremely hospitable, but at the same time gave us the privacy we desired for our vacation. I would definitely recommend this ""gem of a studio"" to a friend, and I would gladly stay here again.

"
6413,22397690,2014-11-05,20762201,Barbara,"This is an attractive, private, clean, comfortable, well-supplied efficiency apartment.  It was exactly as advertised.  Amy and Todd were gracious and helpful.  Even though it was on a busy street it was quiet, even with its own outdoor space.  "
6413,27767298,2015-03-11,22327567,Jemi,"Todd and Amy were fantastic hosts, and we had a wonderful experience staying at the Riverside Gem. 

We didn't get to meet Todd during our stay, but he gave very clear instructions on how to get to (and into the apartment). We felt we had privacy even though the apartment was located above the garage. 

The apartment was cozy, peaceful and near the lake, and had everything we needed and more. We were thankful for the umbrellas as it rained during our stay in Austin. It was really convenient getting around with Uber, and it was a short walk along the I35 to downtown. 

I highly recommend this gem if you're stopping by Austin. This was our first airbnb experience - thanks for making it a memorable one. "
6413,41291566,2015-08-05,2222116,Rain,The host canceled this reservation 219 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6413,47914588,2015-09-21,38795615,Jayla,I had an incredible stay at Todd's place! He was super accommodating and had the place perfectly clean even though I reserved it the day before coming. It's a perfect space for one or two people and feels very spacious. He has all the basics on hand (the bed is super comfortable!) and is quick to respond with any of your needs or questions. Super close to downtown and in a nice/safe neighborhood. I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone!! 
6413,51167613,2015-10-18,44693776,Adam,This studio apartment is in a great location close enough to walk or take a short drive to many great areas in Austin.  It was great to avoid the downtown traffic and parking not to mention the very high cost of hotels in the area.  The apartment has a lovely private back patio and more amenities than the fancy hotels also.  Todd was very nice and made my wife and I feel at home while respecting our privacy as well.  This was our first Airbnb experience and completely exceeded our expectations.  I would recommend this gem of a studio to anyone traveling to Austin!
4279738,26410309,2015-02-11,26656816,Derek,"Ten stars. I was new to Austin and needed a place to stay last minute after my hotel fell through. Sam responded immediately and invited me to come stay at his ""Bed and Barbecue."" It was my first time in AirBnb but Sam made me feel like a family member. There's a bed, desk, shower, wifi, kitchen and fridge, and Sam works with you to make sure you're comfortable. His family lives there with him and they're all genuinely kind Texans. I was able to come and go as I needed and Sam and I had some great conversations when I was in the mood for socializing. The house is close to everything and you can park on the street. It's a nice, safe neighborhood and Sam was able to recommend me food and a gym. He also likes to cook so get ready for some amazing meals. No complaints, I'll be booking another week at least because his rates are great and he's a wonderful host."
4279738,27026227,2015-02-23,26656816,Derek,"It's been a privilege staying with Sam and his family these last few weeks. They're gracious and easy going, and they've made me feel like part of the family. Sam is also a great cook and regularly invites you to partake in the flavor!

"
4279738,28026592,2015-03-16,5783617,Gary,"This was my first stay using Airbnb. At first, I was worried it would be awkward staying with someone I never met before, but Sam and his entire family made me feel at home. The room was quiet and comfortable. Sam frequently checked in with me to make sure I had everything I needed. In fact, he even made a special trip to the grocery store to buy coffee for me! I really appreciate the care and hospitality Sam offered. He's a friendly guy that I was grateful to meet. I highly recommend Sam's place for anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Austin."
4279738,28304984,2015-03-22,24982092,Ian,"Staying in the futon room was a great first Airbnb experience. The room had everything we needed and was very clean. Sam was wonderful and generous host. Even though we did not see much of him due to being out of the house for the SXSW festivities, every time we did see him, he presented himself as a respectful and courteous individual. He not only made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, but he even offered to go out of his way and show us the area as well as run to the store for anything that we might need. He even offered us some of his cooking, which we thought was a very kind thing to do. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxed place to stay, then Sam's house is perfect. I will definitely consider staying at his place again if I ever return to Austin."
4279738,28506349,2015-03-24,29626935,David,"Sam was a really good guy. I got in super late and he was incredibly accommodating, he even offered to pick me up from the airport. He showed me my room, it was very clean and neat. He had a basket of bottled water and several kinds of fruit out as well. His B&B is awesome because instead of breakfast the B stands for barbecue. He smoked ribs the night I got there. 

Sam was a very polite host that often asked if I needed anything. I asked if he had an iron, which he did not, and he went out the next day to get one. Staying with Sam has the amenities of a hotel but the feel of staying with a friend.

I will be visiting Austin in June and hope to stay with Sam again. "
4279738,30824015,2015-04-27,15224158,Derek,"What a wonderful man with a wonderful family.  My stay was peaceful and quiet.  Sam provided for all of my stay needs and even cooked delicious barbeque  ribs!  I would recommend his wonderful home to ANYONE staying in Austin.

Kudos sir!"
4279738,32082113,2015-05-13,20652110,Vinicius,"The experience to stay with Sam and his beautiful family was the best. Since the reception at the front door  Sam let you feel you`re in home and was very friendly. He has a beautiful house and  in a safe and quiet neighborhood, so it`s a prime setting. His bed and BBQ is a real Texas thing and it was really awesome, you need to taste it!!! We have common interests and passion in music so we could talk and have fun on it.  I would stay much more time  there but i had business staff to do so i could not stay longer, but for sure when i go to Austin Tx again, Sam`s house is the first option to stay there. I got a friend in Austin Texas and probably you will get either."
4279738,34281880,2015-06-07,29131512,Sue,"Sam was welcoming, gracious and friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable--a real oasis, with lots of closet space and hangers, the bathroom right next door, and a sense of privacy and quiet. Truly everything you need.

Sam went out of his way to be helpful. To give just one example, I asked him if there was any way I could turn off the AC in my room; I wanted to open the window instead and hear the crickets and bird calls. Sam said that would mean changing the vent (to one that could be closed) and he went out and bought one that very day and installed it. Pretty impressive! 

The room has a green, leafy view; the house is on a pretty street in a suburb that feels very safe. I had a 20-minute walk each morning (to a workshop I was attending) and it was a lovely walk. The neighborhood is quite a ways from downtown, and from South Congress, etc., and the nearby restaurants are chains. But an extra plus is that Sam, for a very reasonable cost, will drive you where you need to go. 

All in all, highly recommended. It was my first airbnb experience and it makes me look forward to more. "
4279738,37797970,2015-07-10,1585232,Jesse,"Best Airbnb I've stayed in so far.

The room is simple, but has everything we need. You get a lot of privacy here. Carpet and a separation from the other rooms by closets, bathrooms, or being on a different floor provide pretty decent noise isolation. Walk-in closet is nice. Bathroom is shared, but we have our own separate sink area to keep our stuff. Everything is very clean.

The house is comfy, smells nice, and has good climate control. Big downstairs area and a gorgeous backyard and deck area. Friendly outdoor cats and a dog will hang out with you if you want them to. Zero noise problems with the animals - ever.

The house is in an older neighborhood in the suburbs. Huge trees all over shade the house, the backyard, and all of the streets. It's a nice place to walk around. It's not centrally located, but there are plenty of major roads to get you from here to downtown Austin even during rush hour without too much traffic.

Sam is super communicative, genuine, and warmly welcoming. The BBQ is to die for! He cooked us some of the best ribs I've ever had. He's not joking when he says it's not ""bed and breakfast"", but instead ""bed and BBQ"". However, we've had plenty of bagel breakfasts here too. We've enjoyed hanging out with him and his daughter quite a bit.

I'm here for work and I've extended my stay twice now... not just because of work, but because this is a great place to stay. Great place for long or short-term. Also, what a great price!"
4279738,43247614,2015-08-18,25672608,Yangzheng,"Sam is a very welcoming host. We enjoyed a comfortable stay in his Futon Room. It is quiet and clean, we also have a dedicated refrigerator which can store a lot of foods. He also offered us a free Sunday barbecue. It was really delicious. I love the idea of bed and BBQ."
4279738,46787021,2015-09-13,42778559,Kevin,"Sam was a great host! He made sure that I had everything I needed and takes the extra step to accommodate each guest for their specific needs. This was my first air bnb stay and I felt right at home. If you are lucky you'll catch Sam grilling/smoking/bbqing and get to partake in a phenomenal home cooked meal! Very refreshing for someone who had been on the road for awhile. Sam is a very welcoming host and his BBQ is even better.  I had no worries about the neighborhood either, I literally was traveling with all my possessions in my truck as I was in the process of moving. In the week I was their I experienced no problems. Great location too as you are not far from all Austin has to offer. "
4279738,48777968,2015-09-28,30726280,Romina,"What a great experience! Sam's home was beautiful, spacious and peaceful, my room was awesome!, the neighborhood was beautiful and safe, and Sam was such a good host I couldn't be more grateful. 
Definitely the best of both worlds between a hotel and staying with friends. Sam made sure that I felt right at home while having total privacy.  He also gracefully provided sightseeing suggestions and offered a ride in the event that the car service was not available at that particular time. I feel like I made a new friend and if I'm going back to Austin at any time, I certainly hope one of his rooms is available :-)"
4279738,49785844,2015-10-06,41056691,Karen,"Staying at Sam's was a wonderful experience. From the beginning Sam gave us a welcome tour that made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. The house is very comfortable, clean and spacious. Sleeping at the futon was nice, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. At all times Sam made sure we had everything we need, he is a great host and is always thinking of how to make his guests feel pleased. I can say that the highlight of our stay was the amazing barbecue he cooked for us. I definitely recommend staying at Sam's place, I will definitely come back.  "
4279738,50464300,2015-10-12,33946297,Junaid,"Sam was very warm and welcoming, like a relative. The room was exactly like he described. The neighborhood was pretty and had lots of parking:) Awesome stay!!!"
4279738,52262670,2015-10-27,41787532,Andrea Gail,"Sam was a wonderful host. I had company when I wanted it and was left alone when i didn't. His family was delightful and musical. The BBQ was fantastic....almost makes me want to start eating meat again.

The house is comfortable and all was in order. I highly recommend it all! It was my first Air BnB experience.

2165939,11004623,2014-03-17,4740531,Sue,"Loved ""Classy comfort.""  Our stay was very pleasant.  The house is on a peaceful street and it is literally blocks away from food and drink and fun.  It was an easy walk to downtown and the East Side had a lot to offer on it's own.  Carol's home was very clean and neat and comfortable and she was a wonderful host.  We felt very taken care of and had a great stay in Austin as a result.  I would highly recommend staying here.  "
2165939,11774580,2014-04-14,1012004,Kevin,Carole's place is really great.  She was the perfect host providing us with a present when we arrived!  I'd gladly stay at Carole's place again.  Really well maintained.  - Kevin
2165939,14040631,2014-06-10,8040925,Kimberly,"Couldn't have found a better place to stay for my trip to Austin. The location was perfect - a super short walk to great local food, coffee and bars. I really liked how the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful but we were also close enough to walk, bike or cab to the heart of downtown. The house was spotless and had everything I needed. Comfortable beds, fast internet, AC -- everything was new and modern. Carole was very easy to communicate with and she was super accommodating to my arrival and departure time. She greeted me when I arrived and provided us with coffee, tea, cereal, snacks and even drinks for our stay. I definitely plan to come back to stay again. "
2165939,22287941,2014-11-03,14249306,Stefan,"We came to visit Austin for the F1 race this past weekend.
Austin does a fantastic job hosting this event! We stayed at Carol's home and found a gracious host with a very nice, clean and nicely decorated home.
The location is very convenient and the neighborhood is safe and peaceful.
We found everything we needed in a well equipped kitchen.
The house has very new bathrooms and kitchen, tasteful furniture and very comfortable beds.

It has a nice patio in the back and we spend early evenings outside enjoying nice sunsets.

I can only recommend Carol and her beautiful home to anybody who wants to visit this great city!"
2165939,23040446,2014-11-21,23066816,Roy,"Carole met us at the house and it was better than shown! We had water bottles near every bed, all was clean, and the neighborhood better than expected.  Carole had nearby and other recommended restaurants listed and was always there when we had questions that needed answering.

A fantastic place to stay!"
2165939,26923665,2015-02-22,1453729,Michael,Carole’s house is lovely - just as promised - and Carole is a most welcoming hostess. We were happy and comfortable there. The location was perfect: it’s an easy walk to the best breakfast tacos in Austin and just 5 minutes in the car to all the main sights. Everything we needed was there. Carole even gave us great tips for entertainment and eating places.  And special thanks to her for rescuing our forgotten phone chargers and making it so easy for us to get them back.  All in all it was a wonderful experience.
2165939,27341740,2015-03-02,11849003,Aaron,"This was a fantastic place to stay and Carole was a wonderful host.   Carole met us at the door, gave us a guided tour, and answered all of my questions very quickly leading up to our trip.  She even found us a Pack-n-play for our baby.  Her home is beautiful and had all of the comforts of home and a great location.  We would stay there again in an instant.   "
2165939,27543452,2015-03-07,5653211,Martin,Great host with great location. Easy check in and check out process. The house was very clean. Had the chance to meet Carole. Would recommend it
2165939,27914475,2015-03-15,23116963,Lindy,Fantastic home in a great location. Owner was very accommodating and home was very clean. Neighborhood has fun restaurants and is close to downtown. 
2165939,28244950,2015-03-21,22054568,Jason,"Carole was a wonderful host.  She was flexible with our arrival time to check into the house.  When we arrived she gave us a quick tour and had a list of local amenities that were close by.  This is a very well appointed home and the photos don't do it justice.  We felt very much at home and had everything that we needed.  Carole was very willing to help us as much as we needed, but also left us to do our thing while we were in town and checked in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and if we needed anything.  I would recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin!"
2165939,29746460,2015-04-12,4552633,Samsher,Great place and well located. Carol was super responsive and flexible. Would highly recommend!
2165939,30208056,2015-04-19,28605896,George,"This was our first time using Airbnb, and I have a feeling we're spoiled right out of the gate. Carole was very helpful to us rookies. The house was immaculate, in a great location and fully outfitted, right down to bottles of water at each bedside. Very comfortable. We enjoyed the back patio and plantings around the house. "
2165939,30710626,2015-04-26,1637721,Gina,"Carole was a great host. She was flexible with our check in and check out times. When we arrived she gave us a quick tour and had a list of the local amenities close by. Carole ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. 
The photos of the home are accurate. A clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay while visiting Austin."
2165939,31266063,2015-05-03,1438113,Jeff,"I've stayed at 10 to 12 airbnbs around the world and this place may be my favorite. Carol was great. We wanted to listen to music before we came to the house and the lock box system was perfect. The place was fantastic. Very clean, beautiful, comfortable and appointed with everything we could need, including plush towels, fine shampoo a razor (since I forgot mine) and other items. And the 5 jet shower in the master bedroom was wonderful! The location was quiet, though very close to the center of things. It was no more than a 5 minute walk to E. 6th St., an area that's teally come into its own, and a pleasant walk to the heart of the 6th St. entertainment district. I will stay at Carol's place again. I would highly recommend it!"
2165939,31906100,2015-05-11,28939817,Benjamin,So many well thought out amenities make this spacious BNB a great choice. The house is obviously well taken care of and very comfortable. Carole was very flexible and responsive to us during our stay. The location is great because it allows one to be in the mix but also relax in a quiet neighborhood. This is one of those BNBs that make you want to move in permanently. 
2165939,32883586,2015-05-23,18775627,Carolyn,"My family and I stayed in Carole's home for my brother's UT graduation. It was perfect--spacious, clean, very well appointed and in a great location. Carole was easy to communicate with, especially when our plans changed last minute. We are very impressed and would highly recommend this home! "
2165939,47673620,2015-09-21,39302441,Jason,"The house was fantastic!  Loved the proximity to everything, just a short Uber ride away.  Would definitely return and recommend!!"
2165939,49427151,2015-10-04,3558641,Paul,Carol was a great host.  She met at us her house to show us around.  It was in a nice neighborhood and very close to downtown and Zilker park.  The house was very comfortable and clean.  She even had a few drinks in the fridge for us when we arrived.
2165939,50434378,2015-10-12,21920289,Valeria,"I've used various AirBNBs here in the U.S. and Europe and have to say this is by far the best AirBNB experience. Everything was clean and organized. Location was good. She was very thoughtful by providing things such as beer, sunscreen, and other necessary items (we were here for ACL festival). Will definitely stay here again. "
2165939,51134316,2015-10-18,6508535,Michael,"Carole made everybody feel right at home. The house was beautiful and immaculately clean. She left us a guide to the neighborhood with all the information we needed. It was nice not to have to resort to the internet to find nearby stores, restaurants, etc. - much better to have a local's knowledge. Carole even provided us with food! The breakfast sandwiches proved to be very helpful as we needed a quick bite to eat. This was our best Airbnb experience and we can only hope her house is available to us next time we're in town! Thanks again Carole!"
2165939,52036619,2015-10-26,25240659,Daniel,"The host couldn't have done a better job making my friends and I feel comfortable during our stay. Location was great and only a short walk away from downtown. I hope to stay here again in the near future. Thanks!!!!

ps- This was my first time using Airbnb and I plan on using it many more times in the future. "
5587184,28241229,2015-03-20,15235253,Stefan,"I had a good time staying at Marta's place. The house is on a quiet street so I had no problem sleeping at night. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is clean. Marta and Zak were very friendly as were  the other roommates in the house. There is a bus station right next to the house, the bus will take you downtown in about 20min for 1.25usd. There is a grocery store close by and you can get fresh tasty buritos. 
Thank you Marta for a lovely time!"
5592816,27823792,2015-03-12,9918093,Kris,"My stay was great!  C and the family were great hosts and the room comfortable. The place is close to downtown, but just far enough to avoid the crazy SXSW crowds. "
5592816,28146818,2015-03-18,9918093,Kris,"2nd stay even better than the 1st. Cute dog, good home. Comfortable and hospitable host. "
8541128,50150671,2015-10-09,202899,Magda,"Annie was the sweetest (as were Grover and kitty)! She was very communicative and flexible before and during my stay, and always made sure I had what I needed. The neighborhood is quiet, a little eclectic and well located in relation to the goings on in the east side and downtown. The coffee shop around the corner is killer. Annie's listing is true to its description - minimal (like a gallery), but a comfortable and welcoming place to stay. "
8541128,50530088,2015-10-12,45069390,Isela,"Annie is a very great host, me and my boyfriend arrived earlier than we thought and we got to meet the previous guest a little bit. Annie had everything ready for us, she was always very kind and made us feel at home, when we got there our room was ready with clean sheets and towels, water, Wifi password and the house key.  When Annie got home she gave us a little tour and gave us every kind of tips to go around town, where to eat and to have fun, we visited while the ACL festival was taking place there so she gave us very helpful tips about avoiding crowded places and traffic jams.
In every moment she gave us our space and privacy, she gave us her trust  to have her place at our disposal.
The neighbourhood is very quiet, there wasn't any problem and it's in a great location near downtown and main avenues.
I recommend Annie and her home a 100%, she made us feel very comfortable at any moment and I wouldn't doubt in staying again when visiting Austin :)

1416162,6233864,2013-08-04,2916639,Melody,This guest house is decorated in a tasteful modern style that I found very relaxing.  It's in a great location in the Barton Springs area.  Eleanor responded quickly during the reservation process and was extremely accommodating for both me and my dogs.  Definitely recommend!
1416162,7872978,2013-10-07,424243,Stephen,"Eleanor was awesome, the overall pad was awesome. Our host took the time to provide little goodies such as snacks, drinks, great coffee etc. that catered to our interests (vegan). Everything was super clean and comfortable. Great time!"
1416162,8088264,2013-10-15,5741749,Al,"Eleanor was a wonderful host. Even before we got there we felt welcome. Eleanor immersed us in local culture from the moment we arrived with local treats and southern hospitality and ensured our stay was as easy as possible with tonnes of information on local food and activities. 

We had 6 adults staying and we we all fit comfortably on the 3 double beds. The amenties were great, we didn't feel like we were missing anything. We stayed there to attend Austin City Limits and we were just a walk away from Zilker Park which was really handy. You're a walk away from some local convenience stores and a short drive from town. 

I would absolutely recommend this studio for anyone attending a festival at Zilker Park or wanting to experience Austin. Eleanor was a brilliant host and is a genuinely kind and caring person who will make your stay a memorable one. We just loved Eleanor and know you will too!"
1416162,10912616,2014-03-12,11187568,Dan,Amazing host! Couldn't have helped us more. Much love for Eleanor :)
1416162,13757705,2014-06-03,15432834,Jason,"Great location, guest house, and host!  Enjoyed visiting friends, walking to Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, and Town Lake.  We definitely hope to stay again sometime."
1416162,22070873,2014-10-29,21695267,Rosie,"We stayed four nights at Eleanor's lovely ""home away from home"" which is located in a beautiful neighborhood walking distance from popular restaurants, walking trails, Zilker Park and downtown.  Eleanor was a wonderful hostess and although the private room is located behind her home, we had total privacy.  There was a small refrigerator, TV, Internet access, coffeemaker--everything we needed.    The room and bathroom were spotless and decorated in Austin style.  The Nacho Libre poster sold us when we were initially looking for a place.   It was just my husband and I, but we could have brought our teenage son and would have had plenty of room.  That's our plan for the Spring. We will definitely be back!  Thanks, Eleanor!"
1416162,28018680,2015-03-16,471828,Mario,"Eleanor was a great host!  The space is very unique and has a lot of character.   It was clean and part of a bigger, main house.  Thanks for the great pastries, Eleanor!  "
1416162,49765111,2015-10-06,35732256,Marcy,My friend and I brought our teenage kids to ACL and Eleanor's cottage was the perfect place to come back to after a fun day at the festival.  The location was perfect and Eleanor was a great host.  We would recommend to anyone.  Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.
1416162,50616873,2015-10-13,11632928,Courtney,"Two girlfriends and I were visiting Austin for ACL and since this space was within walking distance to Zilker Park it was perfect for us! Right away we loved how cozy and eclectic the space felt, and the kitchenette was just what we needed. Eleanor was such a fabulous host and we loved how sweet and considerate she was! She let me check in as soon as she had the place ready and she even bought us treats from a local bakery on top of providing us with coffee, water, various drinks and snacks, and glow sticks to take with us to the festival! She provided us with plenty of extra towels and blankets and even offered to wash towels for us if we ran out. Eleanor had great recommendations for local restaurants, etc. and knew the best routes to take to get everywhere. On our first night the AC went out and Eleanor quickly came over to get it fixed. While she was working on that I left our key on the dresser and we headed out for the night, only to return at midnight to find she had courtesy locked the door for us. We felt terrible! So then Eleanor, who wakes up in the middle of the night to to let us in, leaves us a bottle of wine the next day. So yes, she was the best and most patient host ever! We'd definitely stay there again and would highly recommend this cute studio to anyone attending ACL or wanting a private and quiet place to stay while visiting Austin! Just don't do what we did and forget your key. "
2989616,42758969,2015-08-15,38034663,Cassie,Had a great time with Carol! She is so sweet and home is very cozy

5205396,28018262,2015-03-16,3279886,Bobby,"Cari was a fantastic host with an incredible property. The space was ideally located in a fantastic area -- just a few minutes walk to South Congress shops and restaurants. Her apartment was clean, comfortable and quiet. Plus, she went above and beyond stocking the kitchen with essentials for the stay. She was incredibly responsive to questions before, during and after my stay, I would definitely stay at this unit again."

The house was adorable from the outside and felt really large on the inside. The multiple rooms and pool were extremely clean and tidy, which made for a really nice stay. The neighborhood was also very nice and we felt very comfortable being away during the day! Overall great stay! Will keep in mind for the next time we are in town! "
2056845,10918876,2014-03-13,3950007,Yalçın,"House was great for us. Our toddler loved the yard. Overall interior design is fresh and classy. Bathrooms are really great, both with design and the material used. Russ was communicative, we needed more sheets and he brought them the same day.

Location is quite perfect. There is a bus stop right in front of the house, but unfortunately, during SXSW, Cap Metro's schedule was not going properly. It is very easy to walk to downtown if the weather is not very bad. House is close to Lamar Street and S. Congress, which have the best dining options in Austin in my opinion.

Our party was 4 adults + 1 toddler. Master bedroom has its own bathroom and there is a door between the living room and the guest bedroom, guest bathroom area. So there were enough privacy for both couples during our stay."
2056845,28117201,2015-03-18,1786362,Barry,"The apartment was stunning and perfect for our recent trip to Austin. The rooms are large, the master bath is truly a work of art, and the setup outside was great for us. Everyone felt like they had their own space. I can't recommend his place enough. "

My flight was delayed getting into Austin and I had forgotten to message Luc, but he met me at a restaurant near his house at around 11PM so we could hand off the keys.  That was really great of him!  The master bedroom was great, and I had a nice, long sleep.  Luc was still awake in another part of the house, but he was perfectly quiet and I wasn't disturbed at all.  I slept late in the morning, and Luc let me wait in his living room and use his internet until the rain died down.  What a great guy!  Definitely stay here.  "
4438959,27870424,2015-03-14,15867353,Bridget,"My flight arrived very late and luc was nice and sccomodating. The location was easy to get to from the airport, and the room was really spacious, private, and comfortable. I would stay here again if i return to austin. "

This is the type of house that AirBnB was made for. It's truly unique - where are you going to find a cabin in the middle of the city? 

Stephanie is a model AirBnB host. She checked in on us just the right amount. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of.

We would stay here again in an instant. 

If you are lucky and this house is available, don't hesitate. Book it, you won't regret it."
1627458,21573716,2014-10-20,13204665,Chris,"Upon arriving to the beautiful cabin we had a handwritten personalized letter along with Fruits, Wine, beer and the list goes on...

Stephanie was so accommodating and very easy to work with... we will definitely be back to stay!"

great cable, close to
everything ...... Not one bad thing to say!
Nothing!   Stephanie your care and concern with texts was much appreciated!   Want to stay there again soon!   Thank you so much!"

We could not have felt more welcome with all the fresh flowers every where and all the goodies left for us.  Stephanie is a very good and attentive host. She really cares and made sure that we had every thing we could possibly need during our stay. It is a secluded place in the middle of a beautiful neighborhood  with  so much to do within walking distance . We loved loved it, this is a gem."
1627458,32234978,2015-05-16,19966415,Katie,"This home is a rare find and a joy to stay in.  I want to live in it for keeps!  The pictures don't do it complete justice - you have to see it to believe how comfortable, charming and secluded the house actually is.  This home under-promises and OVER-delivers.  It's like being in a treehouse/cocoon type of space while close access to all the great stuff Austin has to offer.  It's very well equipped with everything and anything you could need - kitchen stuff, bedding, iPhone charger, etc... so while it's a dedicated rental (which I prefer) it feels very homey and is easy to ""move in"" to. Super clean, organized, with extras that make it a 10+++. "
1627458,33823333,2015-06-01,15082740,Igor,"We had a wonderful stay! The home is meticulously maintained and there is absolutely nothing Stephanie did not think of. There is a very nice feeling of seclusion and privacy, yet the Zilker area is very central to everything and extremely convenient no matter where you are going in Austin. We will definitely stay here again!"
1627458,36363935,2015-06-28,19966415,Katie,"This place is Austin's best kept secret - and frankly, I'd like to keep it that way ;-)  The home is as charming as it claims, very comfortable, user friendly and in a great location.  If you want to eat in, the kitchen is made for cooking (super cool old school O'Keefe and Merritt stove/oven), equipped with just about anything you could think of.  And if it's not there - Stephanie will get it for you.  She is so kind and personable and really wants to make sure everything is just right.  The bedroom upstairs is super comfy - awesome bed, linens, great blinds to block out light in the morning.  The claw foot tub just makes me jealous!  This place is everything you want in an AirBnB place - clean, cozy, super comfortable, well appointed, great location, quiet and a dedicated rental.  It's a winner for sure.  "
1627458,39688532,2015-07-25,38597567,Jennifer,"Stephanie was amazing and sweet. She was extra accommodating when I mixed up the dates of when we would need to get into the cabin.

The kitchen was nicely stocked with all the equipment you would need for cooking and for entertaining.  And speaking of entertaining, the cabin lends itself well to having extra folks around, both indoors and on the back porch and patio.  Stephanie was immediately available each time we had a question or need.  Thanks for a wonderful stay!"

8515031,51826514,2015-10-24,22506015,Stanley,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I'm was surprised how smooth it went. I communicated with Randy throughout the day of my arrival. Aware of my late incoming flight into Austin, Randy worked with me to seamlessly check in. It was straightforward and I got to meet Randy on my way out in the morning and exchanged pleasantries. I was a little surprised the apartment was bigger than I expected (as in there were a few other rooms that I wasn't cognizant of). Comfortable bed."
221451,988313,2012-03-11,1768327,Jerome,Kris was polite and prompt. The unit was cute yet unconventional. 
221451,1016152,2012-03-19,413694,David,"Kris' condo was perfect for my week+ visit to SXSW.  The second floor, outside corner, unit makes it the best spot in a small condo complex. Her welcome treats and willingness to allow the use of anything in the condo is an indication of her generosity and kindness. Kris affords you all the privacy that you would want while being easily approachable and readily available. The neighborhood location was ideal for S. Lamar activities and allowed easy access to Barton Springs, S. First and S. Congress restaurants and clubs. Thank you Kris for taking care of me and for sharing your home. I look forward to returning. -David"
221451,2617351,2012-10-15,3202187,David & Jessica,"The apartment that Kris provided was just what we needed for our stay in Austin. It was nice, simple and convenient. Bed and couch were comfy, kitchen had all the amenities one would need. The apartment was very clean and we had no complaints to make during or after our stay. Location was great for ACL, maybe a 20-25 min walk to the park and conveniently located for other attractions and restaurants.  "
221451,3772201,2013-03-13,363941,Katie,"Kris' condo was absolutely perfect for my stay during SXSW!  It was beautiful, clean, and extremely comfortable–it was hard to get out quickly in the morning to get to the conference!  Location was great, only a couple miles out of downtown.  Admittedly during SXSW transportation is hard to come by, but there was one bus that was a 20-30 minute ride downtown and my cab rides back were always inexpensive.  Would not hesitate to recommend!"
221451,3814865,2013-03-18,1829089,Amanda,My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at Kris' apartment during SXSW. The apartment was the perfect size for the two of us and was close to downtown. Kris also made sure to leave us some bagels and coffee for the morning which turned out to be very convenient since we were always in a rush to get out in the mornings. Also- the bedroom porch is awesome. I highly recommend Kris' place for anyone visiting Austin. 
221451,20908362,2014-10-07,20652315,Sarah,"My husband and I stayed at Kris's place last weekend for ACL. It was a perfect location within walking distance of Zilker Park. Kris left us wine and snacks for breakfast! She was easily reached by text or email if we had any questions.

I would definitely stay at Kris's again."
221451,21290940,2014-10-14,8925702,Jordan,"Check in was a breeze with the number code entry.  We were in a hurry because of wanting to get to ACL and so this was very nice. We were able to walk to the entrance gate of ACL in 20-25 minutes.   Kris had snacks and a bottle of wine waiting for us. She even left us food for breakfast!  Anything we might have had questions about during our stay such as how to run the AC etc., was clearly labeled. The condo is in a very small older complex, located on the second floor on the end so there is no one above you and we found it very quiet. Inside the condo it was cheery and filled with colorful art.  I'd label this place comfy, cozy, convenient and clean because I love alliteration! Wi-fi service worked well."
221451,28326402,2015-03-22,13345779,Andrew,"We had a wonderful stay at Kris's apartment in Zilker. Located across from an elementary school and public park, we found the area to be very quiet and quaint, a welcome escape from the bustle of South Lamar (only a 5 min walk away) and downtown Austin (a 10 min drive). Kris provided us with all the amenities we needed for the stay, including complimentary wine and bagels. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the heat and A/C worked well. Overall, it was a great stay, and we'd highly recommend!"
221451,50622922,2015-10-13,38865175,Adrienne,"Kris' place was a great location for ACL fest, the condo itself is very cozy and has everything one would need for a weekend away. She is very hospitable and was helpful and easy to contact when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the condo. This condo is a good location for ACL because you can get an Uber that can take the back way and get you close to the festival for a small fee and with very little hassle. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you Kris!"
738243,3889768,2013-03-25,3935588,Dustin,I rented this house for my family during my wedding weekend.  The house was just as shown in the pictures and everything was great!  All of the rooms and facilities were clean and (website hidden) (Earl) was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating.  The neighborhood is quiet but provides easy access to local restaurants and entertainment.  Would definitely rent again!
738243,8620789,2013-11-09,474468,Fiona,"We have just finished our visit in austin. Casita contenta was a perfect home from which to base ourselves. Every possible home comfort was thought of from a fully appointed kitchen, towel, and even some food. The bedrooms were much more comfortable than most hotel rooms and the extra space of having a house was such a bonus. The neighbourhood is very friendly and our host EC was very hospitable and kind. It was also within distance of public transport for getting downtown. I would highly recommend this house for a visit to austin and should we ever be back that direction we would certainly hope to return. "
738243,8932319,2013-11-26,9724628,Pierre,"My family came over to Austin as my wife and I were getting married and we needed some additional accommodation for my brother, sister and best friend to stay.

Earl Gee was incredibly friendly throughout the whole experience giving us a breakdown of costs etc and met me at the airbnb before they arrived so we could run through the functionality of the property. 

All in all Earl Gee (or EC as he likes to be known) has been very attentive and charming throughout the whole of our first airbnb experience and I would highly recommend using him to anyone in the future! "

I highly recommend the house and the neighborhood if you want a calm, easy (website hidden) was great and everything is exactly as described. Very good communication, and when we left some shirts in the closet, EC knew we were still in Austin and called to let us know so we could pick them up. Beds are SO comfortable, and the kitchen is super well supplied. Be sure to try the Little Deli down the block. Great place to kick back. Highly recommend."

Pepper, our little Morkie, enjoyed the backyard.
We would recommend this listing to anyone visiting Austin!"

The house was perfect for our needs as it has three separate bedrooms.  There is only one bath, which was never a problem for us.  We really enjoyed the back yard.  Grocery is nearby as is MoPac for easy traveling.  I would highly recommend this listing."

Will definitely book with him again! Thanks so much!"
738243,18723283,2014-08-31,17837630,Christopher,"I have found in my travels that if you want to know anything about true hospitality then you should visit Texas.  It's a state filled with some of the friendliest and most genuine in people in all the (website hidden) Gee and his Casita Contenta are two great examples of Texan hospitality personified.  As our host, EC made himself available to us at all times with helpful recommendations and easy coordination.  The house is in my favorite neighborhood of Austin making everything accessible with a short drive.

I can not recommend staying at Casita Contenta highly enough.  The house was just as the pictures showed and the experience could not have been more satisfactory.  Thank you, EC.  It is patrons like yourself that make airbnb so fantastic.  "
738243,18897315,2014-09-02,1219167,Amy,"EC greeted us on arrival and walked us through the house in a quiet neighborhood located very close to a lot of eateries, gas stations, highways.  He is extremely prompt in communication and has kept me very well informed about the house and our stay even before we booked the Casita Contenta. The pictures reflect the house well. It was a cozy little house for our 6 people stay. Though theres not much open space, there's a lot of different seating available throughout the house so you never feel like there's nowhere to sit. The only minor inconvenience was in sharing one bathroom, but we knew about that before booking. Each room is quite different but every room has a nice open closet space to quickly unload your belongings which was nice. Overall it was well furnished and comfortable."
738243,20188201,2014-09-25,1827345,Jo,EC was a great host! We had to extend our stay multiple times and he was really responsive with all of the communication and accepting of our schedule.
738243,21279983,2014-10-14,6187278,Robyn,"EC made us feel very welcome at the Casita Contenta!  He is an excellent communicator and during the scheduling process he always responded to calls very promptly. This house was perfect for our party of 5 during Austin City Limits this year. The house had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and the cost of lodging was much better than any hotel for that weekend. We loved having access to a kitchen and made breakfast every morning.  The AC broke when we arrived by EC was on the scene immediately and called the repairman, who had it fixed the same day!  Beds comfortable, share 1 bathroom. Wireless internet available, short drive to the train station (takes you to downtown), short walk to a delicious local deli and small supermarket. Neighbors are very nice and the neighborhood is quiet and felt very safe. We would definitely stay there again."
738243,24523542,2014-12-30,21808855,Paul,a great house and a great host.

"
738243,25542365,2015-01-19,9230081,Elia,This lovely house had ample room for our large party and this is my second time renting it! EC is a fantastic host - clear and timely communication with a great attitude. I asked to add an additional night after we made the initial reservation and somehow our total cost went down! EC said he had applied the weekly credit so we ended up paying less for our needs. Talk about amazing host service. Thank you so much EC! We will be back time and time again. 
738243,26858648,2015-02-21,24041502,Katherine,EC was very welcoming and the house was very clean and in a good location.

When we arrive to the neighborhood and as a first timer in Austin, I was pleasantly pleased at the quaint little neighborhood.The homes had so much Austin charm from the succulents and cacti in the yards to a giant T-Rex sculpture in one of the neighbors front yards. Immediately, I fell in love with the area. Casita Contenta was no (website hidden) has refurbished much of the home with a 1950s charm. The home was completely comfortable (King Size bed and deck, anyone?) and we had access to anything and everything we might need including a dishwasher and washer and dryer, but also a 1950s style hair dryer and toaster (I might add they worked as well as any other)!!

If you need recommendations for restaurants or travel, EC also was happy to give plenty and offer a little background and history for many of the neat restaurants in Austin. We took EC up on his recommendation for Little Deli and it was awesome.

I would be more than happy to stay again at the Casita Contenta when I next visit Austin and I do hope that I can do so soon!

738243,28515302,2015-03-25,24518283,Kevin,EC was a great host! Those house is super comfy and conveniently located. I'd definitely stay here again. 
738243,29431470,2015-04-07,23873546,Steven S.,"The casita is a lovely, well-maintained home in north Central Austin. The home has three bedrooms, each one unique, a comfortable living room, a fun kitchen, and a spacious deck in back.  The neighborhood was developed in the early 1950s and gives you a good idea of the old Austin and the new. Within walking distance is a quaint shopping district with a small grocery store, a good deli, and a helpful hair salon. Within a short drive is Burnet Road, with lots of neat places to eat and quick access to points north and (website hidden) is a welcoming host, who makes sure that you are doing okay and has many suggestions about what to do in the neighborhood and about town."

It exudes a very homey atmosphere and the only regret we had was staying at this listing for just 2 (website hidden) is a great host. He warmly welcomed us to Happy House. We enjoyed our quick visit to Austin mainly because we had a place we looked forward to coming home to after a tiring day of sight seeing. It was indeed a home away from home. Definitely staying here again if my travels take me back to Austin in the future. Thanks so much, EC!"
738243,33104836,2015-05-25,29849379,Ariel,Earl was a wonderful host. He made himself very available. The neighborhood that the house is in was also great!
738243,35384136,2015-06-18,31105885,Jennifer,"This was my first experience with Air BnB, and I have to say I am so very pleased. Everything went perfectly. I am quite ""Type A"", so planning a trip is always a fairly high-strung time for me (my poor family). Knowing that the host I was working with was efficient and hospitable made the trip much more relaxing and enjoyable for us. E.C. was so pleasant to work with. My family and I felt right at home in his ""Casita"". Dare I say we were...Contenta?

Our communications prior to the stay were frequent and personable. I was very comfortable and confident that I was working with an honest and responsible host. He took interest in my dog, Kiwi, and was warm and welcoming to her. He had a six-pack of Shiner waiting for my husband in the fridge when we got there, for which my husband was very grateful. He also gave wonderful recommendations for dining options. 

The pictures are very faithful to reality. All of the necessities were there at our disposal. The house is very cozy, and the neighborhood is so pretty! It was in a great area with convenient proximity to all of the things we wanted to see and do. It seems that nothing was more than a 15-25 minute drive: Zilker Park, The Domain, downtown, Whole Foods Market, etc. 

Again, with this being our first experience with vacation rentals, it has made a very good impression on my husband and me. Because of our positive experience with E.C., we will certainly be doing this again. My family and I were in Austin on a bit of a job and home scouting mission. Our stay really helped cement our decision to make Austin our home in the near future and to help keep Austin weird."

We came to Austin to celebrate a birthday and had friends fly in and this was a much better place to stay at then any other hotel!!!  The breakfast that was prepared for us the next morning was delicious!!!  I would recommend this place to anyone!!  This is where I will stay when I bring friends and family to Austin!!  Thank you Viviane!!!
79183,721346,2011-11-15,522291,Charmaine,Super hostess and a great place to stay! It was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location was excellent - close to everything we needed. We will definitely stay again next time we are in Austin;)

Thanks Viviane for a great stay."
79183,1015839,2012-03-19,500358,Duane,"Where do I start?  I've stayed in great airbnb places in London, Amsterdam and Los Angeles.  They were all great, but this was by far the best.  The only difference here is that this is more of a B&B style while we are used to having the whole house to ourselves at other stops.  Initially we weren't sure how this would work, but as soon as we entered the house we found out that Viv and Cinnaman aren't your average hosts.  They went out of their way to ensure that we had a memorable time.

As far as the place - the pictures don't do justice.  

If you are coming to Austin, look no further... don't look for other places, just stay here."
79183,1379738,2012-05-29,2447693,Rochelle,My 6 friends and I all had a lovely stay. Viviane and Michael were very friendly.  The rooms were very clean and the breakfast Michael made in the morning was delicious.  An excellent first stay at the Grand Suite.  
79183,3389804,2013-01-21,4713514,Boris,"Great place to stay, very comfortable for a group of six, good location and the rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Viviane and Michael are great hosts, always there for you if you. Breakfast included, and they will help you out with anything extra you need. "
79183,3831123,2013-03-19,3401164,Chris,"Viviane and Michael are simply the greatest hosts on Earth. Nothing was too much trouble, and they went above and beyond to make our stay a comfortable and successful one - from helping us with bike hire to printing our return flight boarding cards. 
The house is a real gem, and was located perfectly for us (we were attending SXSW). It is close enough to downtown to easily be able to cycle there or grab a bus, but far enough away to be nice and peaceful at night - and we were able to sit out every morning in the sun, doing our work on our laptops before heading to the festival! 
Michael makes cupcakes and cheesecakes, and to be honest, these are worth the trip alone - I could have stayed at the house all day every day eating these cakes, and not seen Austin at all and it would have been a trip well spent!
Nothing negative to say at all - the beds were comfy, clean and large, and the bathrooms had everything we needed.
Great house, great facilities, great location and GREAT hosts."
79183,3891379,2013-03-25,614682,Veronica,"We had an awesome stay. There were 6 of us and we each had our own room, 4 of us had to share one bathroom, which was perfectly fine. It was very clean, comfortable and less than 10 mins from downtown. Michael and Viviane made a fantastic breakfast the next morning and made us feel so welcome. Thanks for a wonderful time, would definitely stay again!"
79183,4858016,2013-05-29,5308828,Hope,Viviane was a wonderful hostess. Her home was well kept and clean. My family felt very welcome. We especially enjoyed using the back porch. We utilized all three rooms and if we ever return to austin we will be going back to Viviane's.
79183,7918011,2013-10-08,7186712,Brian,"This was my first experience using airbnb, and because of Team Cinnaman it won't be my last.  Our stay at Cinnaman Villa was nothing short of perfect.  There were 5 of us in our group, and we easily could have fit a 6th.  The whole upstairs was ours, which included 3 bedrooms and 2 full size bathrooms.  The beds were some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on.  Vivienne was extremely accessible from the moment I reached out to her to inquire about staying here.  She promptly responded to emails, and had a wealth of knowledge regarding things to do in Austin.  When we arrived, Michael was there to greet us and get us settled in.  The house was clean, the rooms and bathrooms were clean, and the beds were amazing.

Each morning we had muffins, coffee, and orange juice.  And our 2 fridges were even stocked with some equally delicious surprises.  We came for the first weekend of ACL, but honestly if the festival hadn't been going on, I would have been just as fine plopping myself in front of the TV and watching football all day with Michael.  Location was great for ACL -- only about 3 miles or so from Zilker, and same from downtown.  We took cabs a lot, but if you don't mind walking a little, cool places like Rainey Street were only about a half hour walking distance.

Next time we come to Austin, this will be the first place we look to stay.  The only thing better than this place were the people who own it.  Thank you Michael and Vivienne for a phenomenal stay in Austin.  Can't wait to stay with you both again!"
79183,8078066,2013-10-15,6478149,Scott,"If you want a nice and comfortable place to stay in Austin, look no further than CinnaMan Villa!  Viviane and Mike are awesome and you will love staying at their place when you and your small group travel to Austin. There were four people in our party, two couples.  Each of us had our own bathroom and very comfortable bed (my wife and I slept on a king-sized memory foam mattress). And when we come to Austin next year, I would have no hesitation staying there with two other couples. The upstairs is all yours - 3 separate bedrooms and two bathrooms with showers. Viviane was great from the moment I contacted her to the time we left and is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything Austin.  We enjoyed talking to her over coffee (by the way-great coffee, OJ and homemade breakfast pastries!) about Austin's food and culture. Getting around is pretty easy too - cabs are pretty easy to get (must get the 'Hailacab Austin' App) and the buses are a five minute walk (Austin Transit Times App will get you from where you are standing to where you need to be via bus).  CinnaMan the perfect place to stay for an Austin newbie, like we were.  We look forward to staying there again!!!!"
79183,8665997,2013-11-11,9554086,Eric,We can't say enough about our experience with Viviane and Michael.  It was such a pleasure and they took such good care of us.  The home is extremely nice and the food is terrific.  They were flexible and accomodating to all our needs. The location is excellent.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Try the cheesecake!

The beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean, and everyone had a great time. We stayed during SXSW, and although we rented a car, we were also able to get an Uber or taxi when needed. Great location, great hosts!"
79183,33373369,2015-05-27,31029136,Bonnie,"Vivian and Michael made me feel extremely welcomed! Their home is lovely and the rooms are perfect and very private. The location is wonderful, right next to downtown, restaurants and shopping.  I will definitely stay there again on my future visits to Austin."
79183,42292204,2015-08-12,37332370,Eric,"Great location with great amenities. VERY clean, and Vivian will wash your sheets and towels upon request. Vivian and Michael are a joy and two of the kindest people you will meet. If you have to stay in Austin for any length of time, stay here. I stayed for a month, and it was cheaper and cleaner than subleasing. Fast Internet, and there is a TV available downstairs to use. No kitchen use, but after smelling (and tasting) the food Michael makes there, you will understand why. It quickly became like a second home to me, and I know anyone who stays here will experience that as well. Five stars, thumbs up, 8/8."
79183,49622911,2015-10-05,9730025,Moises,"Vivían and Michael, are great hosts. They are really kind and servicial. The suite is perfect, and have a great location"
237705,621975,2011-10-11,1260661,Tony,Elizabeth and James were excellent hosts. We have a active family with two young hyperactive kids. They opened up their home to us and some friends of ours who stopped by to visit. We had a nice relaxing stay and a good nights sleep.
237705,703267,2011-11-08,108352,Theodore,"Elizabeth and James were super nice - laid out an extra mattress for us, let me back into the house to grab something I'd forgotten a good two hours after we'd checked out ; great communication; comfortable digs in a great part of Austin; AND only a block and a half from Mr. Natural, an authentic all-vegan Mexican restaurant and health food store I always try to make a pilgrimage to when I'm in town anyway, so... bonus!"
237705,1001414,2012-03-15,54050,"Faye, Joseph,  Noa & Tav","We had a fantastic time at Elizabeth's Cool House. The house has been recently renovated and looks and feels really nice. Elizabeth was easy to communicate with, nice, dependable and a good host."
237705,1022275,2012-03-20,129523,Greg,"My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Elizabeth's home during SXSW! Very spacious, clean, comfortable and close to downtown! Big front porch to hang out on too while you're having your morning coffee. This listing is a total gem! "
237705,1275274,2012-05-14,548669,Jeff,"Our stay at the Cool House worked out great. Six of us were in for a conference and had plenty of room to stretch out and feel comfortable while also still being close enough to walk to the conference center (about a mile and a quarter). We rarely saw our hosts even though they were right in the back yard, but they left a spotless house to call our own for a week.

All in all, it was a great stay and we'd highly recommend it."
237705,1329112,2012-05-22,112164,Michael,Good location. Nice house. Owners stay on-site in the backyard. Bikes could use some repairs.
237705,30330038,2015-04-20,8821945,Tom,"Elizabeth was very easy to work with and we felt very welcome.  The only issue was that we thought we had the entire place to ourselves as this is how the booking was illustrated.  However, we learned there were two other parties staying in the back yard.  Overall, it was a great trip and everything was as expected.  It just would've been nice to know ahead of time that there were people staying in the backyard. "
237705,49777826,2015-10-06,19972158,Serena,"Good location in up and coming neighborhood.  Convenience store and natural food place walking distance.  Also, bus to downtown about 3 blocks away.   "
2502923,10896562,2014-03-11,4304513,Ax,"Andrew was a great host! The apartment was clean and beautiful ... The apartment was right in the middle of all the action and walking distance or a short cab ride away from all the best restaurants, food trucks, shops and bars! I would highly recommend anyone who wants to dive into Austin to rent this exceptional studio! "
2502923,10991677,2014-03-16,1360973,Karla,"Amazing apartment in an awesome location.  The apartment was very, very clean and Andrew and Laura were very nice hosts.  The bed was super comfortable, there were clean towels in the bathroom and the kitchen is great for anyone looking to do some cooking.  Also loved that it's detached from the main house with its own private entrance, so I didn't have to worry about disturbing anyone. There is an Austin B-Cycle station right outside the apartment so it's easy to rent a bike and cruise down S. Congress into downtown.  There are also countless restaurant & bars right around the corner from the apartment.  Highly recommend staying here, I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin.  Thanks for everything Andrew! "
2502923,11235588,2014-03-25,13315179,Emily,"Amazing, amazing location- really don't think you could stay anywhere better! So close to all the great restaurants and bars on SOCO. Apartment was perfect too- pictures don't do it justice. Sweet room with comfortable double bed, sofa and TV (not that you need it!) and good bathroom too. Plus little kitchen if for some reason you don't want to eat the delicious Austin food! Hosts were very accommodating- so easy to arrange key pick up and drop off. And flexible check out was so useful as we had a late flight, so could still use the apartment in the day. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
2502923,11341126,2014-03-30,9013446,Cindy,"Cute, clean studio in a great location. I would definitely stay here again. Andrew was quick to respond and it was super easy to communicate and get the keys as he lives on site. Thank you Andrew for sharing your space!"
2502923,11389300,2014-03-31,5310646,Matt,Was a great apartment in a great location. Walking distance to all SoCo has to offer. Multiple restaurants and shops all within a few minutes walk and just a short cab ride to downtown. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Definitely will try to stay there again in the future.   
2502923,11503333,2014-04-05,13788825,Alison,"You just can't get any closer to the heart of SOCO than this cozy apartment.  I booked this studio extremely last minute for a conference downtown. Not only was Andrew quick to respond but his wife was nice enough to allow us to check in before our conference.  This studio apartment was better in person in my opinion.  It was very clean, the bed was super comfy, and so amazingly close to everything.  The studio was a short drive to Pure Bikram Yoga and Parkside Restaurant (a must if you're a foodie $$$). We got lucky to have booked our stay during First Thursday when all the shops stay open late and vendors are out selling their crafted goods.  No worries about spending money on a cab or being tempted to drink and drive.  Enjoyed a quick morning stroll to Jo's for coffee and a taco and ended our stay with a huge, delicious burger from Hopdoddy Burger Bar with truffle fries (you can add an egg to your burger)!  I will definitely be back to this studio.  You just can't beat the price or the location!"
2502923,11767351,2014-04-14,10643872,Cyrus,Amazing location near everything on South Congress. The apartment was very nice and clean and Andrew's communication was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.
2502923,11906823,2014-04-18,12498837,Robin,This is the perfect location to explore Austin. Close to downtown & Lady Bird Lake. Walkable and there is a bike share stand just outside. Loads of cute shops nearby too. The place is cute and a great place to relax too.  100x better than a hotel. 
2502923,12228069,2014-04-26,11347871,David,Great apartment in excellent location on South Congress. Andrew and his wife were very accommodating and I look forward to staying here again. 
2502923,12348038,2014-04-29,2809945,David,"Amazing location and perfect little place for couples or a couple of friends. Andrew was a super nice guy, to boot."
2502923,13714681,2014-06-02,15974216,Kari,"Andrew and his family were great hosts. The apartment exceeded our expectations, and is in an ideal location. Only got to stay for one night, but wonderful experience!"
2502923,13891871,2014-06-07,15875088,Sylvain,"Great experience! You can't get a more central location within the South Congress area. The apartment is nice, the host is friendly, generous, as well as accomodating when I arrived late at the airport. Highly recommended!"
2502923,13992008,2014-06-09,9080635,Sven,"My stay in this apartment was a wonderful part of my time in Austin. The photographs and description are accurate, the AC and fan made the apartment a cool relief during my early June visit, and the bed was very comfortable. The location is extremely convenient to great shops and restaurants on South Congress and South First—I walked, jogged, and biked around the neighborhood (taking advantage of the bicycle rental rack on the corner) as well as to Barton Springs and across the Ann Richards bridge to the downtown area a couple of miles away. Andrew and his wife communicated clearly and quickly in all of our interactions, and were both friendly and accommodating. My arrival and departure went completely smoothly (in spite of taking place when my hosts were out or asleep). My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend in this part of town. I would be delighted to return to this apartment on a future trip.
"
2502923,14377391,2014-06-17,471649,Line,"The property is lovely, the hots and hostess were very helpful and courteous, the location is A+.  We give our stay 10+!"
2502923,14497494,2014-06-20,8163998,Andrew,"Andrew and his wife were very warm and welcoming and the apt was absolute 
Perfection. The apt was very clean and quiet and cool and private.

The location could not have been better. I am always looking for a great running trail, good restaurants and interesting shops and all of that is practically just
Outside the front door.

I would highly recommend staying with Andrew while visiting Austin.

"
2502923,14646431,2014-06-23,16549706,Kent,"Everything was as advertised. Super clean place, fantastic neighborhood, and very convenient to all the happenings on South Congress. We will definitely be back. "
2502923,14798670,2014-06-26,6452968,Sara Jane,"I was so comfortable in this terrific studio.  Up the stairs over the garage, the studio was very light, quiet even tho conveniently only 1/2 block away from South Congress and so well situated to do anything within the city.  As a photographer, it is wonderful to be greeted by the tree views and birds chirping that surround this little apartment each morning, rain or shine. Andrew was away during my stay but ensured that everything was in order for me, including being greeted by someone who offered to be available for anything and any suggestions during my trip.  Hope the SOCO studio will be available next time I need to be in Austin."
2502923,15110328,2014-07-02,8320483,Spencer,Great apartment. Exactly as advertised. Highly recommended.
2502923,15416331,2014-07-08,16820831,Kimberly,"Andrew and his wife were awesome hosts. They communicated clearly and responded quickly. LOVED their apartment and awesome location. Their place has everything you need: clean towels, kitchen with anything you might need to cook, TV, wireless internet, comfortable bed and couch, and it was very nice and clean. I also loved that it was up in the trees and had tall ceilings, which made it feel very peaceful and spacious. The apartment's very close proximity to SOCO eats was awesome. It's literally about 20 steps from Guero's Tacos, which is next to Hopdoddy Burger Bar and Perla's. Across the street is Home Slice Pizza and Hey, Cupcake! with lots more great places up the street toward the Congress Bat Bridge. Down the street on the other side is the Elizabeth Street Cafe, Gordough's Donuts, Torcy's Tacos, and more! You can easily walk downtown from here, and to Zilker Park/Barton Springs Pool (though we chose to drive). Awesome place, awesome location--even better than I thought it would be! I can't stress this enough. I will definitely be back!"
2502923,16162297,2014-07-22,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"Andrew's little apartment was perfect for our quick stay in Austin. We'd been to Austin several times before so it was great to be so close to Soco and all the places we love in the city. (It also helps to have a parking spot in the area!)

The apartment itself was simple and cosy, and had everything you could need for a multi-night stay. It was clean and everything was east to find and operate. 

If I had to list one thing that was less than ideal it would be the volume of the air con unit. It's louder than a split air system, but not loud enough to keep you awake. The air con itself worked great and kept use cool during the peak summer weather, so I'm really nitpicking on this point. 

Andrew's communication was great! Unfortunately we didn't get to meet him as he was out if town. 

Overall a great easy stay.
"
2502923,16528565,2014-07-28,18682688,Ashley,"Adorable place in an amazing location! Super cute, clean and comfy :) Definitely recommend."
2502923,16927372,2014-08-04,18153053,Susan,"Andrew was a great host.  I was impressed with his professionalism.  From the moment we booked to the moment we left.  The Studio apartment is in a great area. It is exactly as pictured in the ad, and more. We felt safe and comfortable. There is a lot to see and do in the area. Great location.  Felt like home!  Host contacted me before arrival with directions and check in information. Andrew and his wife were informative with the local whereabouts. After a long day out and about it was a peaceful retreat! Highly recommend."
2502923,17136305,2014-08-07,2783867,Kenny,"This was a really nice and really convenient place to stay for our one-night visit to Austin. Andrew and his wife live right downstairs, so it was really convenient for us to pick up and drop off the key. If you want to be in proximity to all the restaurants, coffee, shopping, etc. of South Congress, this is a great spot!"
2502923,17411928,2014-08-11,19521340,Chris,"Beautiful location, beautiful apartment, great experience. More than I expected for my first time trying airbnb. I plan to stay at Andrew's place again. "
2502923,17915764,2014-08-18,7157695,Mary Anne,"Sweet studio.  Just like pictures.  Great location, right off Congress.
Clean neat and functional with everything needed for two persons.
Made for a nice stay in Austin."
2502923,18432461,2014-08-26,19250519,Jane,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it could not have been better. The apartment is exactly as pictured, feels clean and new and is very comfortable for two people. Austin is a HOT place (in every way), so Andrew made sure the space was cool for our mid-afternoon arrival. The apartment is literally steps away from the always bustling SoCo strip, yet we never were bothered by noise. B cycle station is within 100 feet of the stairs which made getting downtown a breeze. Andrew was very responsive to any questions we had before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this space and will try to stay here again whenever I'm next in Austin."
2502923,18556122,2014-08-28,18810761,Kristin,"(Reservation for Dan) Great room, very private, clean and well appointed accommodations, superlative location.  A/C was quite loud though."
2502923,18701033,2014-08-30,10535555,Stephen,Great apartment in best #1 south congress location. Very clean and private.  Hosts very nice.  
2502923,18856768,2014-09-01,9337031,Shannon,"We had a terrific stay. Not only was the apartment clean, cute and private but it is also in a great location. You can walk to south congress and enjoy all the cute restaurants and shops near by. We would recommend this place to anyone and we will definitely be back. Our hosts always responded quickly they were very friendly and easy to deal with."
2502923,19111928,2014-09-06,12417968,Katie,This place was fantastic! Clean and easy to find. Very comfortable bed! Andrew and his wife Laura were very accommodating. We will definitely be back next time we come through Austin. The location is perfect. Easy walk to South Congress shops and restaurants and just a short cab ride to downtown. 
2502923,19195998,2014-09-08,2800694,Jillian,Andy and his wife were very welcoming. The apartment was great. Very easy walking access to South Congress. Would definitely recommend this spot!
2502923,19818040,2014-09-19,6431737,Matthew,Great house in a great location. Very clean and awesome facilities. Had a great time and thank you! 
2502923,19959230,2014-09-21,9465174,Jerome,"Andy was a fantastic host, hands off, understanding, and more than helpful when needed. His studio flat is as pictured, quiet, clean, well organized, with plenty of space for more than two people, and perfectly located—directly off SOCO—making trips anywhere within walking distance. If walking isn't your thing, a B-Cycle rack is less than 100 feet away.

A definite first choice for my next trip to the capital."
2502923,20222075,2014-09-25,5274568,Kara & Devin,"We were so pleased with our decision to stay here. Andy was more than accommodating with our late arrival and late checkout. Above that, the apt was clean, cozy, in a fabulous location, and provided a very comfortable sleep. It was our first time in Austin and we were able to walk to everything in Congress and downtown. Highly recommend!"
2502923,20810268,2014-10-06,14318114,Meg,The studio apartment was perfect of our long weekend.  Fantastic location and extremely comfortable.  Andrew was a great host!
2502923,21040295,2014-10-10,899624,Jason,"The apartment was wonderful, Andrew was very kind, and the location was incredible. No complaints, and will definitely stay again the next time I'm in Austin."
2502923,21121454,2014-10-12,16900070,Chris,"This was a great little place! The family greeted me as  I got there and gave me plenty of advice on where to go and what to eat. It's tucked away near some great food (South Congress Cafe) and parks (Zilker). The place itself was cozy and comfy, perfect for the early mornings I spent inside.

"
2502923,21334039,2014-10-15,17499391,Michael,"My girlfriend and I spent four days and three nights in the studio apartment. The hosts communicated well with us in order to coordinate our arrival and offered their assistance if we needed anything.

The studio was perfect for two, clean, and very comfortable. We had a great time and the apartment was in a location that allowed us to go everywhere and do everything on foot. Downtown, Lake Austin, South Congress, even the capitol were all walking distance and comfortably so.

Great food, great nightlife, and great hospitality. I highly recommend an Austin get-a-way in this SOCO apartment!"
2502923,21447196,2014-10-17,46063,Monte,"Location, location, location. That and cleanliness will have me stay there again. My favorite part of Austin. And this place allows a parking place where none are to be found. Ideal place well furnished."
2502923,21485404,2014-10-18,22177182,Chad,Fantastic spot!  Great location & great little apartment!  Andrew was a wonderful host.  Highly recommend this little gem.  Thanks again!
2502923,21738798,2014-10-23,3427093,Karen,"This apartment is amazing, exactly as it looks in the pictures. It's clean, completely set up with everything you could need. The bed is more comfy than a 5 star hotel! 

Location is excellent. We rented the B bikes and they are great.

Andrew and his family were very generous offering their full laundry (in garage) for us to use. But, as it has its own private entrance, it's very private.

I thoroughly recommend. And wifi too - fabulous "
2502923,22015139,2014-10-28,19414853,Sherrie,"This is a wonderful property that seemed to be in the center of the areas we were looking to explore in Austin. We came to experience as many live music venues and excellent restaurants as possible. We rented a car but really could have gotten by without one, being able to walk or take public transportation. We did not have face to face interaction with Andrew but we did ask for his restaurant recommendations and tried several that were excellent! We also asked about tennis courts in the area and he recommended the South Austin Tennis Center which had very good courts at reasonable rates. The apartment is open and airy and has a good feel. Would definitely stay here again!"
2502923,22134086,2014-10-31,11028257,Laura,"Andrew and Laura's place is beautiful. Laura was at home to give us the keys and show us around, and the spot is brilliantly located - not in the downtown part of Austin but a short bike ride away, and right in the middle of awesome shops, cafes and bars along South Congress. A great place to stay!"
2502923,22289814,2014-11-03,17175804,David,"Excellent all around.  Very clean, right in the heart of the awesome SoCo district,  the pictures don't do it justice.  Very light and airy. Downtown Austin is only a mile away and walkable. Just a straight shot down Congress. Grocery store right around the corner and great restaurants.   Andrew and his wife were very accommodating. The whole experience was quite easy and enjoyable. Very comfortable. We will be back to stay again and explore more of Austin."
2502923,22444645,2014-11-06,148936,Paula,"Beautiful airy studio in a private, but convenient location for all of the South Congress and downtown activities.  I really enjoyed staying here."
2502923,22584391,2014-11-10,8936849,Jennifer,"The apartment was clean and bright, our hosts easy going, the location unbeatable.  We had everything we needed and felt right at home. Thanks for a great stay! "
2502923,22832119,2014-11-16,8912125,Tali,The studio was exactly as described and pictured in the listing - lots of natural light!  Andrew and his wife made check in/out seamless.  The space was very clean and had all the amenities you would find in a hotel.  The location is as close as you can get to South Congress shopping and dining.  We liked the option to be pedestrian in this area when most places in Austin require a car.  I would recommend Andrew's studio to anyone visiting Austin!  This will be the first place i check for my next trip.  
2502923,23106752,2014-11-23,22783950,Nicholas,"This was a great place in an awesome location, everything you need is footsteps away. "
2502923,23286307,2014-11-27,7157695,Mary Anne,Andrew responded right away to my request to let me know the studio was available.  2nd time staying -- great location and has everything you might need.  Looks just like pictures.
2502923,23410378,2014-11-30,22682822,Andi,"We had an excellent experience staying here!! Everything was immaculately clean when we arrived, and everything we could need was provided.  The space is gorgeous - tons of natural light and as it was a perfect Austin fall day out they had left a couple windows open for us. It was the perfect way to arrive. We couldn't believe how close it was to SoCo - perfect walking distance to everything we wanted to do (we even walked downtown from here). The owner was great and gave us space but was always available by phone/text when we had a question. Overall, extremely comfortable, laid back, clean, amazing place and I will 100% be returning when I visit Austin again!!!! "
2502923,23949443,2014-12-15,8469880,Natasha,"Such a beautiful apartment! Clean, modern and cozy.  It's also in the perfect spot just off South Congress, literally a thirty second walk to the center of SoCo. Andy and Laura are wonderful hosts and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin!"
2502923,24156454,2014-12-21,11456526,Joseph,"Andrews apartment is phenomenal, half a block off south congress and in a great position to walk to most austin hotspots. The apatment was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Will definitely be staying again!"
2502923,24438497,2014-12-28,79583,Vicki,"Really a perfect Airbnb experience.  This studio/garage apartment has a private entrance, parking, very clean, lots of light, en suite bathroom, fully stocked kitchenette, and a comfortable bed.  The hosts Andy and Laura live on the property next door, are very friendly, and are easily available to answer any questions.  And finally the location is amazing, half a block from South Congress and many restaurants, cafes and shopping.  This is a fantastic Airbnb location and perfect accommodations- thank you!"
2502923,24647293,2015-01-01,23217633,Brian,"I stayed here with my wife over New Year's 2015 and would highly recommend the studio. If anything, the listing underplays the great location -- right in the heart of South Congress (loads of great restaurants, bars, and shops), and an easy walk from Downtown, but quiet at night. 

The apartment is the perfect size for a couple and was clean and comfortable throughout. We cooked a full meal one of the nights and the kitchen was fully equipped and easy to cook in. The bed is comfortable. The shower is great. The WiFi is fast. It's very comfortable.

Andrew and his wife were welcoming and very easygoing about our stay and even sent along a few recommendations right after we arrived. They were gracious hosts, friendly and helpful, but clearly sensitive to not being invasive. 

The only reservation we had about the apartment is if you're staying in extremely high heat or cold (as we did). Since the studio is heated and cooled through a window unit, it can be loud at night and struggle a bit to keep up."
2502923,25301958,2015-01-11,7073098,Katherine,"Andrew was a very gracious host with excellent communication. He was friendly and welcoming, and he gave us flexibility with check-in/check-out time.

The location of this studio apartment is very convenient. Just a few steps away from some of the best restaurants and shops in Austin. We were able to walk to and from South Congress easily and quickly. Safe neighborhood and friendly people everywhere we went!

The apartment itself was spotless, with beautiful vaulted ceilings and natural light. Very clean, cozy and comfortable.

I will definitely be renting this space for future Austin adventures. Big thanks to Andrew and his family for their kindness!"
2502923,25517733,2015-01-18,620347,Katrina,"We had a great stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and a superb location. You have complete privacy and access to a parking space is great if you have a car. I would definitely stay here again! "
2502923,25712095,2015-01-24,1919878,Stefanie,"This is my favorite neighborhood in Austin. Heart of food truck nation! And this apartment was perfect. It's a separate unit right above the garage with a private entrance and parking spot. It also has a kitchen, living area and bathroom with a walk in closet. Clean, high vaulted ceilings and bright windows and light. Totally as advertised. They also have a cute little entertainment section, cable TV and my own wifi router right in the studio. Staying here made me feel like I was coming home after a long day at work, rather than just another hotel. Really appreciated the hospitality that Andy and his family showed me. Thanks for everything!"
2502923,25756782,2015-01-25,25711588,Bret,We had a great stay wish we could have stayed longer!  Andrew was a great host and very accommodating.  The place was clean and comfortable and the location is perfect for South Congress! 
2502923,25916875,2015-01-29,19187980,Rob,"Delightfully simple and well-located, this apartment is perfect for a single / couple traveling to Austin for the weekend. The apartment is tucked next to a main drag in South Congress, with a few great spots to eat & be merry within a few blocks. 

The sun will wake you up every day, guaranteed. It's glorious, but you'll want to plan for early mornings."
2502923,25985848,2015-01-31,25617125,Mark,Great first time experience with Airbnb. Host and loft were great. Looking forward to next stay.
2502923,26036914,2015-02-01,26903608,Idil,Had a wonderful stay at Andrew's studio. Seriously is the PERFECT location. He was very flexible with our changing arrival times. The studio was clean and organized. Def would stay with him next time in Austin. 
2502923,26679570,2015-02-17,1821244,Brooke,"This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had.... the location was unbeatable, parking was a breeze, the studio was awesome (clean, cozy, and accurately described).  Laura and Andy were on top of any and all communication. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting Austin.  Cannot wait to come back and stay here again. "
2502923,26825220,2015-02-20,26160305,Jennifer,"The apartment was just as I hoped it would be! Easy check in, clean and tidy, well appointed, comfy bed... Easy access, dedicated parking spot. I didn't need to use the kitchen but it appeared to be well stocked. It was a treat to return to a place that felt a bit like home after a long day away from my real home. 

The location was ideal for my business trip. It's a quick mile walk straight up Congress to downtown. The immediate neighborhood is eclectic with a little something for everyone. Excellent food everywhere!

Thanks Andy!"
2502923,26911551,2015-02-22,23666666,Eric,"Had a great time at Andy's place.  It was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located.  I would certainly stay here again."

2502923,27175319,2015-02-27,27493179,Catherine,"Andrew and his wife were incredibly accommodating and gracious hosts!  Our flight was delayed and we checked in 2 hours later than we expected and they didn't mind at all.  (Also, Andrew was thorough and timely in his communications prior to our visit, which I found helpful.)  We only stayed one night, but we will plan for a longer stay next time we visit.  The location is superb and the studio apartment is very clean and comfortable!  I give it an A+ rating!"
2502923,27402440,2015-03-03,764722,Erin,"Andrew's studio is perfect - AMAZING location, clean, adorable, and equipped with everything you could need. Austin has always been one of our favorite cities but our time spent at Andrew's made us feel, even for two days, like we were part of the neighborhood. We really appreciated him welcoming Sawyer, our Carolina Dog, into his home. We wouldn't stay anywhere else - definitely booking this place next time we're in Austin!"
2502923,27433259,2015-03-04,26962525,Alexis,"It was great staying at this nook just off SOCO. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the accessibility, the cleanliness, and the friendliness. They even allowed us to bring our dog. "
2502923,27523214,2015-03-06,12486359,Jeanine,"Andrew was very gracious and responsiveness in accommodating my short notice trip. Unfortunately, the bad weather caused the airline to cancel my flight on the day I was to arrive, so I had to bail at the last minute. I hope to visit another time, maybe during SXSW!"
2502923,27575963,2015-03-08,4143372,Clarke,"We had a great stay at this property. It is, in fact, perfectly located and the place was very clean and well kept. Andy and Laura were great to work with. I highly recommend this place. "

2502923,27987122,2015-03-16,20186122,Jim,"There's no doubt that this space has a 5 star rating for everything!  It is amazing!! I'll be giving it the same 5 stars.  Perfect location, very comfortable, updated and in great shape!  Host made it super easy, and the space meets every expectation!  I'm almost tempted to give a bad rating just to keep people away so I can stay more often ;)  This space is now at the top of my list for Austin bnb and I will try to stay every time I'm in town!  South Congress is where we hang out and when you're a block away from a Hotel San Jose Sangria, it doesn't get any better!!"
2502923,28295210,2015-03-22,10524107,Daniel,"Great place, perfectly located on South Congress. Andrew was very helpful and prompt with all of my questions. "
2502923,28458714,2015-03-23,11732244,Frank,Andrew really helped us out in a pinch.  We decided to stay in Austin one more night at the last minute and Andrew responded very quickly and had a place available for us.  His space is located in an ideal spot right off South Congress.  Walking distance to a lot of cool restaurants and bars.  Would definitely stay there again!
2502923,28783674,2015-03-30,2895288,Marcus,"We had a great time at Andrew's Soco flat. The apartment itself was very clean, cozy & equipped with everything we needed (fast Internet, cable TV, kitchen). It is in the heart of SoCo right next to South Congress Avenue with all shops & restaurants.

Andrew itself was a very helpful & friendly host. We had no problems with checkin/checkout. And when we had once a little trouble with the key, who was stucked in the door, he came around and helped us out.

Highly recommended for every Austin stay! We would come back fore sure ;)"
2502923,28971873,2015-04-01,9920635,Lisa,"Wonderful apartment right next to all the action.  Walking distance to everything and rental bikes steps away.  Hosts were super nice and let us check out a little later when we got caught in the Franklin BBQ line.  Great time!  
"
2502923,29812114,2015-04-13,24280030,Mollie,We loved staying here. Andy was a lovely host. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay in Austin. The location could not have been better. We were so close to many great restaurants and bars on South Congress. Everything else we wanted to go was a short drive away. Next time we are in Austin we would defiantly want to stay here again. 
2502923,30204456,2015-04-19,5675882,Carissa,"Andy & Laura's place is wonderful!  It is comfortable, very clean, well-stocked with essentials, and is in a great location.  The area felt safe and has numerous excellent food options within walking distance.  Andy and Laura were welcoming and very responsive to our inquiries.  I highly recommend this place! "
2502923,30664641,2015-04-26,21220147,Christoph,"We had a great time at Andrew's and Laura's apartment. It's perfectly located at the heart of SoCo and offers everything you might need. The parking space is very convenient and the place itself is clean and well equipped. It was our first trip to Austin, but if we come back, we surely will check if this place is available. I can wholeheartedly recommended this place if you're ever visiting Austin."
2502923,30936727,2015-04-29,20186122,Jim,"This is the second time staying here, and it continues to satisfy!  If you like SOCO, then you can't beat this place.  All very accomodating and comfortable, and Andrew is very easy to work with.  Made for another effortless stay in Austin! Thanks!!"
2502923,31041914,2015-05-01,27751102,Paul,"Great room, very comfortable and tidy. Andrew made everything very easy for us. If you want a location to see the best of what Austin has to offer then this is perfect. We had only 1.5 days here and wish we had booked a lot longer!"
2502923,31187393,2015-05-03,14989471,Kelsey,"It was very easy to communicate with Andrew, he was always available.  The pictures accurately depict the place. It is comfortable, well laid-out, lots of natural light, and all the windows allow for a great breeze. It was very clean and in a great location. Lots of shops, and restaurants in easy walking distance. We wish we could have stayed longer. "
2502923,31327999,2015-05-04,509179,Liz,"Andrew's Studio was perfect for our trip to Austin. In the best part of town, and so easy to get in and out of while we were there.  So close to the Elizabeth Café and the cutest shops!"
2502923,31449788,2015-05-05,4854182,Davida,"This studio apartment is very clean, very cozy, and despite being right off South Congress, very quiet.   I felt right at home and the bed was very comfortable.    The location could not be more ideal - it is in the heart of Austin.   I enjoyed  a short walk to restaurants, food trucks, and places of interest along South Congress Avenue.    Andrew and his wife are wonderful hosts - they were easily accessible by phone and the check-in/check-out process was seamless. "
2502923,31597749,2015-05-07,11072074,Kayla,"My mom and I enjoyed our stay. Amazing location, walking distance to some awesome shops. The apt was so cute, super clean and offered everything we needed. I highly recommend this apartment."
2502923,31687283,2015-05-08,18153975,Justin,"Andrew and apartment were both great! The location was perfect! One block off of South Congress, couldn't of been happier. Andrew offered great recommendations on dining and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore a great part of Austin!"

2502923,32098447,2015-05-13,580847,James,"Andrew's place is the perfect home base for Austin. Its spacious, well-lit with high ceilings and is less than a block away from the restaurants and shopping on Congress. Andrew was very responsive and easy to work with. "
2502923,32202199,2015-05-15,30852133,Myra,"This is a great studio apartment! It's clean with lots of natural and a very comfortable bed. The location is fabulous, less than a block from South Congress restaurants and shops. Andrew and his wife are wonderful hosts. They were always available and check in/ check out couldn't be easier. "
2502923,32573204,2015-05-19,31883238,Jacqueline,"I had a lovely experience staying in Andrews studio apartment during my stay in Austin! First of all, the apartment has everything you need, is clean and really makes the experience feel like home.  The location is perfect, walking distance to all the shops and cafes down on south congress. 

Andrew was very helpful and flexible throughout our stay too.  I would highly recommend! "
2502923,32800114,2015-05-21,23935470,Tyler,"Great location, very clean, superb location and tons of natural light. Couldn't ask for a better host to accommodate us."
2502923,33239216,2015-05-26,29173237,Amanda,"Such a great location!   Walkable to so many great spots on Congress, 1st, etc.  We did not have a car and were able to get everywhere walking or s place is really nice - super clean, safe, quiet, bright.  Highly recommend if you want to stay in this area!"
2502923,34977076,2015-06-14,22016096,Monica,gracious host with a beautiful home! it was the perfect location to explore the city and only a block away from the the main South Congress area
2502923,35220488,2015-06-16,16446338,Linda,"You will be hard pressed to find a better listing than Andrew's. The location is prime (transportation was breezy - foot, bike, metro, auto), there was lots to see/eat/do in the area, and the studio itself is everything that you need and 100% true to its description. If that wasn't enough, Andrew is an exceptional host. He was wonderfully responsive, had excellent recommendations (even recommended a running trail for me, too), and he kindly accommodated us for a later check out, when a delayed flight & summer thunderstorms initially had us furrowing our brows. 

At the end of our stay, we truly felt like we had an authentic Austin experience. We could not recommend Andrew and this listing more!"
2502923,35681997,2015-06-21,33683524,Nancy,"This place was perfect!  It was the first time we booked with AirBNB and I'm glad we did it. We were in a great spot just steps from some great food and bars.  The studio was super cute and perfect for me and my husband although we spent most of our time outdoors. Andy and his wife Laura were quick to respond to our messages and were very accommodating.  I would definitely recommend this to our friends and since we didn't get to experience all of Austin, we plan on going back and staying here again.   "
2502923,36075347,2015-06-24,1873153,Robin,"Andrew's studio apartment was the perfect hideaway just off of South Congress to explore the area on foot. The apartment itself was everything I needed: private, great windows with lots of light, stocked with all your basic necessities, and had all the comforts to make you feel at home. For someone who comes to Austin quite a bit for work, it was a welcome break from staying in a hotel room.  I didn't meet Andrew, but his son was there to welcome me and check-in was a breeze. Andrew was also extremely attentive to make sure I had everything I needed and made the process extremely smooth. I'll definitely look to stay again on my next business trip!"
2502923,36225862,2015-06-26,2682178,Shazia,We had such a lovely stay at Andrew's place! It was clean and comfortable and he made it super easy to collect and drop off keys. The location was great! I would definitely recommend a stay here!

2502923,37168057,2015-07-05,21343145,Garett,"Bright and comfortable unit with S. Congress and its myriad of restaurants, quirky shops, and exciting crowds at your fingertips. Short walk to the award-winning food trucks on 1st Street (Torchy's changed our life). Longer but still easy walk to the parks along the river. Andrew was always quickly responsive. Will stay again next time in Austin."
2502923,38028748,2015-07-12,17960932,Heather,"My sister and I stayed for a weekend in this gorgeous studio unit. It was clean, the bed and couch were comfortable to sleep on (we brought extra sheets for the couch). It was incredibly hot when we arrived, but we turned on the A/C unit in the wall and left it running for the duration of our visit. Andrew was not home when we were there, but the unit was perfect and we really enjoyed staying in such a great location. Uber rides downtown or to UT ran about $6-8. There was only one parking space available, but we only had one car, so it worked out. "
2502923,39102961,2015-07-20,13961372,Shane,"Andrew was great. Communication was excellent and the studio exceeded my expectations. The reserved parking spot was key given the close proximity to night life. I will absolutely try to reserve this studio again on my next visit. 
"

The location can't be beat, there's a park spot (woo!), the space is open and comfortable, the bed is awesome (yay for memory foam), the bathroom is large, the kitchen rocks and there's cable TV. Seriously would stay here every time I'm in Austin if it was always available. I didn't get a chance to meet Andrew in person, but he was very nice and accommodating of my late arrival. Amazing airbnb experience. Just book it. Book it now. :) "

The space itself was perfect - spacious and clean. The location is amazing as it's just half a block from Congress and everything SoCo has to offer. If we ever return to Austin we will definitely be staying here again!
2502923,43287561,2015-08-18,1873153,Robin,"My second stay at Andrew's. Fantastic host, super accommodating and easy check-in. Look forward to making Andrew's a regular stay for my business trips to Austin."

I would highly recommend staying here. "

Had a great time, and would recommend to anyone. "
2502923,46053909,2015-09-07,20173801,Laura,"Andrew's place was perfect for our stay in Austin. The apartment was clean, cozy and had everything we needed. It was nice having the kitchenette and TV area in addition to the bed. It was as pictured and a plus to have the private off street parking.  What a location!  We parked our car and were able to walk to everything we wanted to do and see.  So many restaurants, clubs, and shops on S.Congress right around the corner from his place.  Andrew was a great host, although we were not able to meet, he was very attentive and responded quickly to any of our questions/texts.  I would highly recommend staying with Andrew and would stay here again when back in Austin."

2502923,48307497,2015-09-25,890314,Tiffany,I happened to meet Andrew in the driveway when I arrived.  The apartment was just as described and the location can NOT be beat if you want to be convenient to South Congress.  And even if the proximity it wasn't loud at night.  One side of the bed is very slept on but the other side was comfortable so just roll over and enjoy your night's sleep.  Thanks Andrew!
2502923,48509974,2015-09-27,23197510,Will,"Great Airbnb experience. Property description couldn't be more spot on. Perfect location, very clean, nice and professional. "

Highly recommend!"
7143120,45198573,2015-08-31,42391829,Mary,Peggy was awesome! She greeted us and helped us get settled. We had privacy but at the same time knew she was there to help. An extra perk was the apartment's proximity to Lake Austin. My husband and I enjoyed watching the sun set! The apartment is brand new and spotless. We will definitely stay here again...a bargain compared to the downtown hotels and much more fun! 
7143120,45526802,2015-09-03,22857707,Miles,"Peggy's place if wonderful.  Located in a beautiful part of Austin.  Surrounded by trees.  Her loft is private.  The surroundings are quite. The place is just cozy.  When I entered the loft I found it to be spacious and modern.  The living area has large windows looking over a cool old creek bed.

You can swim in the cold clear water of the Texas highland lake system.  Peggy has a cool golf cart to take you down to one of the oldest private parks on Lake Austin — just a couple minutes from Peggy's front door.  

Peggy is a wonderful host.  She is attentive and engaging.  I don't think you can find a better host or location to stay."

658102,2491508,2012-10-02,747243,Karen,Jennifer was great... She responded to messagse very quickly and is easy going.  The Tiny House was fine.  And as she said...no frills but I loved it.  She's making changes to it...it would be cool to see how it turns out.  Just steps to the bathroom in the house... 
658102,2517544,2012-10-05,2861735,Paul,"This is an amazing tiny house built by a Jen herself and hasthat  true Austin style that I love. 

This is a charming little hand crafted home that has it's own unique appeal. Furnished with a nice bed on the floor with quality linens and a beautiful modern duvet. 

Fitted with a new air conditioner that is thermostatically temperature controlled with a remote. It also has a photovoltaic table lamp, solar photovoltaic and or plugged in sweet speaker hook up for your MP3 and a nice overhead chandelier. If you are into the small house movement then this is a great place to visit just for that.

This has a sweet little front porch where Dimitry the doberman may come visit if he likes you.

Her house is where you use the bathroom, cook, etc. The bathroom is upgraded with a wonderful giant shower head and updated tub and toilet. This is a beautiful bathroom FYI.

From the river stones in the bottom of her white pedestal sink to the Neroli scented hand soap you feel like this is resort quality lifestyle. Her kitchen is classic with all the updates you might want in your own home, stainless gas stove, fridge and coffee machine with hardwood floors.

Jen deft hand at interior design shows her true inner artist at work (let it shine girl) and I guarantee if you're not a putz you'll enjoy Jen, Dimitry, the sweet little black kitty and her home.

All of this is really centrally located to Austin major attractions.

Tip: to eat you must try super burrito on Oltorf, it look like crap from the outside but it has excellent reviews and I for one was loving it. I had the amazing Chile Relleno burrito and more.

Shout out to Ally one of Jens BFFs.

All in all I love the home, tiny house and Jen, peace..."
658102,2576216,2012-10-10,3721104,Jenny,"Jenn is absolutely wonderful and the tiny house is very quaint and cozy . I loved my stay in Austin and had such a great experience there. She gave excellent suggestions on where to go for music, bars, dancing, and food. Even went out of her way to bring back some Gordough donuts. 

Very well-priced, private room, delightful host, adorable doggy Damien (kept me company when I was at the house), laundry facilities, stocked kitchen, use of the fridge (which was nice since I had leftovers), free wifi, restroom is inside the main house (which didn't bother me at all), and most importantly - no bugs! Tiny house is lined with cedarwood! :D Win~! 

Felt like I was staying at a friend's house during my stay in Austin. :) I'll definitely stay there again. :) "
658102,2722915,2012-10-26,3715849,Ajay,"The ""tiny house"" was amazing.  It's like having your own cabin in the woods.  Bathroom is in the main house, but its big.  And her dog is super friendly.  Jennifer was a great host. She gladly gave me a ride to the city on her way to work.  The bus stop is only a 10 minute walk.  $1 takes you into the heart of the city.

I definitely would stay here again.  



"
658102,2774137,2012-10-31,3188802,Kaitlin,"Jennifer was great, along with her boyfriend and dog! Dimitri, her dog, is the sweetest, most playful thing; I could have taken him home if permitted. I stayed in the tiny house (which allows access to main house 24/7) for 3 nights and 4 days and was very pleased with my stay. The tiny house has a great cabin feel, with the smell of cedar and just the right amount light. I did my own thing for the most part, but I knew if I had any questions or issues, Jennifer would be there to help out. A+"
658102,2830153,2012-11-07,3861739,Ross,"Jen was great! When the shuttle dropped me off at the wrong place, she came and found me which was really good because I don't know what I would have done otherwise. The house was great, clean, comfortable and private and Jen was more than willing to help out with directions and things to do, she even lent me her bike for my stay. All round a great stay! "
658102,2987015,2012-11-28,2569865,James,"Jennifer was a great host. Made sure I was comfortable and that I enjoyed myself. The little house was exactly as described. No frills, but also nothing lacking (as you are free to use the necessities in the main house).
When I return to Austin I will stay here again if it is available..."
658102,3073195,2012-12-11,3626665,Dugald,"Jennifer was a excellent host and I had a fun stay in Austin.  The small house had everything I needed and it was great to have a bit of privacy.  Her dog Dimitri is a lot of fun too.  If you are thinking about staying with her, stop thinking and just do it. "
658102,3093671,2012-12-15,3626665,Dugald,I had such a great time staying with Jennifer and Dimitri that I decided to stay a bit longer - really recommended!
658102,3143778,2012-12-23,1798828,Christopher,"Jennifer's backyard house worked out great for me.  The room is charming and cozy and just about feels like a trip to a cabin in the woods.  I had no problems going in and out of the main house whenever I needed to use the bathroom or kitchen.  Trips to South Congress or across the river are easy enough with a car, bike, or bus.  Dmitri the dog and the cats are good hosts too.  Thanks all."
658102,3338275,2013-01-13,4414056,Sam,"My time in Austin was made so much better by Jennifer and her beautiful little house.I was in town to play a few concerts and was unfamiliar with the area in which her rental was in, I contacted Jennifer and she replied ""No Problem I will come and pick you up!"" I couldn't be happier with the experience and totally recommend it. "
658102,3364911,2013-01-17,4680918,Carol,"Jennifer is a wonderful hostess who will make you feel right at home in her sweet oasis near downtown, whereby during my stay I met people from around the world. I stayed in The Tiny House Near Downtown, which is as charming  as it gets...a little rustic cedar lined cabin, warmed by a mini electric wood burning stove  (not really wood burning but looks like it) full of ambiance from the moment you step inside..Truly a great hideway for a couple nights or even a week or so. I would suggest her place without question, but book early as she books up fast for both the Tiny Little House and her other room indoors. "
658102,3436548,2013-01-29,4482164,Steven,"Jen was an excellent host. She was very friendly, warm and was willing to give me a ride when she could. Staying with Jen was great because I always felt that if I really was in trouble I could give her a call and this provided an incredible value for me. "
658102,3475451,2013-02-04,4487050,Nef,"Jennifer is a great host, I had a pleasant experience and she even lent me her steamer, the tiny house id very charming. no frills it was perfect for me."
658102,3538937,2013-02-14,4471314,Charles,"Great tiny house, not too far from Bus stop into town. The dog is super friendly. Jennifer is very helpful and accommodating. "
658102,3594030,2013-02-20,4297754,Angela,"My stay in the tiny house was wonderful! It's a no frills, relaxing, cozy little spot. The area felt safe and the backyard was secure (important to me, as I was traveling alone). Plenty of parking on the street. No problems getting in and out of the house when needed. Plus Jen was a great hostess and had good suggestions for places to check out in the city. I would absolutely stay here again!"
658102,3629927,2013-02-26,142237,Taylor,"I stayed six nights at Jenn's Tiny House, and found it very quiet and comfortable.  Jenn was a great host, and I would happily stay at the Tiny House again the next time I'm in Austin."
658102,3690907,2013-03-04,11146,Graham,This was fabulous!  it was the best nights' sleep I had had in Austin.  The location is perfect and the cabin is adorable.  I'll be back.  
658102,3729192,2013-03-09,4981458,Brandon,"Jennifer is the best!  My first Airbnb experience couldn't have gone any better - Jennifer was very gracious and communicative, and my tiny house had all of the comfortable amenities I needed.  Jennifer was very friendly and open, and I'm hoping to have an excuse to visit the tiny house again!"
658102,3993214,2013-04-01,2182335,Steve,Great little place! :)
658102,4029598,2013-04-03,2873156,Lars,"Lovely people, lovely animals, cozy place. I enjoyed staying with the Francis's (is Franci plural?). They're very friendly and made the stay pleasant and easy. I had a car so the location was relatively close to anywhere I went. Wifi worked great and the shower was nice (pressure and hot water are 2 of my favorite things).

Glad I met them, I'd stay here again!"
658102,4099973,2013-04-09,5579899,Patrick,"Jen's tiny house in the back is a great place to crash! There is a bike   and it is not a far walk to the #7 bus stop, which will take you right into Downtown. You gotta be a dog lover tho, because Dmitry is relentlessly playful. Good way to save some money and still get a great Austin experience! "
658102,4222290,2013-04-20,5278313,Anne,My stay in the tiny house was great!  It's nestled in a wonderful backyard with a vegetable garden.  Perfectly private.  Jennifer and her boyfriend Sheridan are super nice and really made me feel at home during my visit to Austin!  Jennifer is very accommodating; she let me borrow her bike and gave me a ride into town one day when it rained. 
658102,4283101,2013-04-24,2140356,Corey,"Jennifer's communication was excellent, I would definitely recommend her as a host!!"
658102,4372687,2013-05-01,4165563,Rob,"Great place. As described - cosy, quirky. Very considerate host who went out of her way to make us comfortable.
At the time of booking there were only two photos of the house on the description. Don't let that put you off. I booked on the basis of the description/feedback and wasn't disappointed."
658102,5958595,2013-07-23,6869061,Philip,"Lovely quaint little log house (slept like a log haha). Air con more than Adequate for the little house.  I felt comfy and cozy but the privacy was the best part.  Jennifer was great and provided me with everything I needed and even went above and beyond with my small requests. in conversation I found her to be cheerful,  easy going and funny.  I really liked her boyfriend too.  Very friendly and a great Southern accent (good for a traveler like me to hear). I would like to stay here again"
658102,6188330,2013-08-02,2584010,Bob,Cool little private place.  If you like dogs it's even better!  Having a dog-buddy during my stay was nice.
658102,6544543,2013-08-16,650533,Jeffrey,"Great little space, great host and great environment. There were some glorious food options down the street (Super Burrito, Al Pastor Taco Stan, Conscious Cravings).  I loved my stay,  I did not want to leave this place and the city after my 5 day visit for training but all good things come to an end (to kick start other good things elsewhere). "
658102,6607260,2013-08-18,2916628,Thomas,"jennifer's shack is the cuttest thing this side of the mississipi, i loved staying there, everything went super smooth, jennifer is very welcoming and friendly, the city is delightful and easy to bike around to and form the shack, South congress and its great thrift shops and cafés is a 15min bike ride, and Austin is designed for riding your bike, full of bike lanes and green areas, i thoroughly enjoyed myself there, wish i had had more time! 
totally recommend this place"
658102,6773475,2013-08-24,3258394,Cawley,"I enjoyed the stay in the little cabin.  Air conditioning and wifi, pretty much all I really needed.  Jenn was a very nice host, very flexible, made my transition to Austin pretty smooth. 

Thanks!"
658102,7478346,2013-09-22,5953159,Marloes,"I stayed for 5 nights in the tiny house. It was very comfortabel and cosy. The AC was perfect as the temp's were high these days. Eventhough you have to go inside the house to use the bathroom or so, it doesn't feel weird, not-home, etc. 
In the tiny house there's plenty of space to sit down and relax if you want. Also to store your stuff. 
As said  by the other previous guests, Dmitri the dog and the two cats are so sweet! And Jennifer and her boyfriend really give the space you need to be comfortabel. Jennifer is so easy going and very fun to chat with! If I had a question (doesn't matter how weird it was) she responds really quick. 
The location is ok: if you rent a car, this is perfect. If you need to use public transport, you have to walk for 10 minutes or so. I didn't feel unsafe, though. It's a safe neighbourhood.
I had a great stay and the house made my stay in Austin and experience the Austin/Texas way of life just perfect!"
658102,7919050,2013-10-08,8333662,Angus,Place was great. Host was very helpful but there was no fuss which was great. clean and comfortable
658102,7986288,2013-10-11,8556980,Stephanie,"My stay at Jennifer's Tiny House was really perfect.  Jennifer was kind enough to accommodate my dog, Cooper, who got along swimmingly with her dog, Dmitry.  The tiny house was clean and had just enough space for a comfortable stay.  I arrived later than expected, but Jennifer was nice enough to stay up and wait for me.  I would definitely recommend the tiny house to anyone looking for a private room in Austin. "
658102,8133294,2013-10-17,7805028,Jonny,"Jen's cabin was the perfect spot for a short 4 Day reprieve in Austin. I got to know the bus schedule/route pretty well, so I was able to get around town self-directed. Jen was not around most of the time, however neither was I. Jen has a code accessed door to her house to use the bathroom, although the door had a few issues due to heavy rains. The only issue that I see for some guests is living amicably with Dmitry, Jen's dog. He's a big boy and can get in your way, since he hangs out on the front porch of the cabin most of the day, and because it was rainy all weekend, the porch got extremely muddy... Despite that, it was a nice stay and if/when Jen makes an appearance, I imagine she would be very hospitable."
658102,8226728,2013-10-21,6485920,Tyler,My stay at the tiny house was excellent. It served as the perfect relaxing home base for my work and adventures throughout Austin. I would stay here again next time I'm in town.
658102,8468964,2013-11-01,9340505,Tyler,"If you need a place to crash in Austin and will be spending most of your time out and about, this is the place. It's a cozy little place, with enough space to stretch out without feeling cramped. I slept with the windows open most nights (in mid-October) and it was very comfortable. It even smells like cedar in the Tiny House, which is pretty nice. I stayed over a week and was comfortable the whole time.

There is no attached bathroom, which is fine if you don't mind hoofing it through Jen's house--and she is about as laid back and cool as can get, so there's no worries there.

Demetry the dog is a real energetic hound.  He's a Doberman, but as Jen says, ""A chihuahua trapped in a Doberman's body."" And that's true. He's super friendly, doesn't bark at you, and is absolutely addicted to playing fetch with his ball. Since he's a dog, he poops in the yard, so just watch your step if you're coming back at night.

The house is on a quiet street, so I felt fine leaving some luggage strapped into the back of my truck. Takes about 15 minutes to get into the center of downtown with moderate traffic. Easy enough.

I'd stay there again--it's a good place to base your adventures in Austin."
658102,8670502,2013-11-11,9684084,Alayne,"Jennifer was great. We really didn't see too much of eachother, but it was really a nice stay. I felt a little bad coming into the house late at night to use the bathroom, but she said not to worry! Her house is beautiful and really made my stay in Austin so comfortable. "
658102,8810611,2013-11-18,9950162,Chris,Nice little place. Jennifer was very kind and flexible w/ our use of the bathroom in the house and the sleeping accomodations were perfectly cozy. Thanks.
658102,9155224,2013-12-09,10439863,Erin,Amazingly kind renter. Would totally rent the space again.
658102,9204289,2013-12-13,4610092,Philipp,I had a great time at Jennifer's place. It's exceptionally cozy and the dog and cats will keep you company as well. :) I can recommend her place to everyone and can't wait to be back and discover Austin some more.
658102,10829785,2014-03-09,1777707,Yeesheen,"Jennifer's Tiny House was a pleasure to stay in! It's tidy and smells like cedar, and includes wifi, outlets, and a warm heater for cool nights. It is a tight fit for two but we made it work. You have to go inside to use the bathroom but it's not too awkward. Jennifer was a great host!"
658102,14658748,2014-06-23,16791236,Jeremy,"I had an excellent stay at Jen's tiny house. The location was great and easy to get to/from downtown. For being so close to downtown, the neighborhood was quiet, I even saw a deer run down the street the first night. The tiny house was clean and comfortable and the a/c worked great which is a must in the Texas summer. I was in town for a wedding so was off doing my own thing most of the time, but Jen was an extremely gracious host. I would totally stay here again."
658102,15293801,2014-07-06,4815379,Sierra,"Our stay with Jen was great. It was our first time with airbnb and it couldn't have been better. Yes the house is tiny but perfect for two (maybe even three) people. A short and cheap cab ride, or a quick drive to many great Austin activities! Jen was accommodating and really let us relax and feel at home with her. "
658102,15659870,2014-07-13,2773646,Josh,"Jen was an amazing host. Asked to make sure that I had everything I needed.

Neighborhood is nice and quiet. Dog and cat are both very friendly."
658102,16040972,2014-07-20,16270081,Beverley,"My Dad and I absolutely loved our stay in the 'Tiny House'. It was perfect for our visit to Austin Texas (a place I would recommend everyone visits in their lifetime...great active city, offering something for all). Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Jen during our stay, but through open communication she was able to ensure an easy arrival/check-in, and responded promptly to our queries and requests always. The dog and cats were adorable, so friendly!! Thanks for a great stay Bev and Ken"
658102,16564922,2014-07-29,9851331,Sudhir,I enjoyed staying at the tiny house. Cosy and comfortable for one person. Jen and her boyfriend are friendly and accomodating. I also enjoyed playing with their dog Dimitri!
658102,16870273,2014-08-03,18165682,Alex,The place was comfortable and convenient. 
658102,17026958,2014-08-05,17077899,Stephanie,"Amazing host and such a cute little house. Easy to get into at night, private, lots of parking, huge yard that would be great for people traveling with pets. We fit two people on the little bed (great for cuddling) and left the loft bed open. Less than 5 minute drive to South Congress (SoCo) area! Would stay here again. Tip- Don't forget to get the exact address from host before arriving. Jen and her friends are wonderful! "
658102,17235307,2014-08-09,253390,Imran,"I had a great experience here. I only briefly met Jen, but she was friendly and helpful. The cabin is small but cozy and smells really good! "
658102,17789555,2014-08-17,19410489,Stephanie,"From the beginning Jen was helpful and reachable. We arrived to be greeted warmly by her sweet pup, and find the accommodations comfortable and just as expected and advertised. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and easy driving (or biking if you choose) distance from the central hub of Austin's activity. It was a lovely little retreat in the midst of the urban space of Austin, a great blend of secluded and amidst the action. Jen also had helpful recommendations about neat things to see in the city, which provided us with a deeper experience of the culture and Austin scene than just what can be found in the guidebook. My husband and I had a wonderful time; it was so nice to have a 'home' to return to each night of our vacation, and Jen's tiny house provided that perfect space. "
658102,18276783,2014-08-24,3281969,Dounia,Jens  tiny house was the best ; we had our privacy and it was close to a bunch of bus lines. She  also provided us with towels and was really helpful as to get around austin. Jen is resourceful and really nice. I recommend her e 100 %.  Thanks Jen! 
658102,18889030,2014-09-02,3120145,Samuel,"Jen was great! We didn't get to see her much, but she was accommodating and easygoing. Our flight came in pretty late, and she was fine with waiting on us to get in. The tiny house was clean and comfortable, and the location of the house was convenient; close to the airport, and downtown area. Definitely an enjoyable experience!!"
658102,20909795,2014-10-07,15379356,James,Jen is super friendly and helpful and the tiny house is soooo cozy.   My dog Roxie loved playing with Dmitri and Jen was warm and welcoming to Roxie as well. 
658102,21204843,2014-10-13,11813386,Kathleen,"Jen was a friendly and easy-going host. The tiny house and her home were very clean, comfortable, and charming. The location of this accommodation is convenient to the South Congress area if you have a car. The dog, Demetri, is a sweetheart. We would be happy to stay with Jen again."
658102,22649120,2014-11-11,20613140,Chuck,"Jen was really nice and accommodating. We weren't at the house for much except to sleep, but it was really nice and close enough to everything to bike. I would definitely stay here (website hidden)- her dog is the friendliest dog in the world. "
658102,27417811,2015-03-03,28366647,Cody,Jen was great.  It was a nice and easy stay.  Loved her dog as well
658102,28028625,2015-03-16,28376423,Christian,"Man this cute little place was awesome. Enough space and atmosphere to let us relax while we regrouped from our SXSW shenanigans. Jen was a wonderful host, and even though we didn't see her but once at the end of our stay, she made sure to accommodate us and our weird schedule throughout the trip. Great location too, quiet and tucked away, even though we were pretty centrally located. We even saw a pack of young deer running around one night, it was magical."
3810413,42102371,2015-08-10,3417961,Yvonne,"We never had the chance to meet in person, however he was a very attentive host; He was always available to answer the questions I had."
3810413,45017120,2015-08-30,27313008,Claire-Adele,"Although we didn't get to meet Jesse, he was a great host - very welcoming, accommodating and made us feel right at home. The house is very well presented and well-equipped - the spare travel-sized toiletries are a thoughtful touch - and is walking distance to some cafes, bars and restaurants. Would happily stay here again next time we visit Austin."
3810413,46460053,2015-09-10,36677595,Sandi,"Jesse was awesome!  We contacted him for a last minute reservation, from just a few blocks away, and he was able to get the room ready for us in minutes.  The room and rest of the condo were immaculate and very warm & welcoming.  My daughter & I were very comfortable during our stay and will definitely reach out to Jesse again should be need accommodations in the future.  Oh and the location can't be beat.  Close to everything cool & fun to do in Austin.  Thanks so much Jesse!!"
3810413,52081871,2015-10-26,44100377,Arthur,"I was in Austin for the 2015 USGP.  Jesse's room was a great place to come to after  long and rainy days at the circuit of the Americas.  It was large, clean and comfortable.  The private bath was nice, both clean and spacious.  Jesse was a great host although I didn't have a lot of time to spend with him,  he does make a great old fashion .  The neighborhood was nice with lots of restaurants nearby and downtown Austin was only a short drive.  The only problem I had was finding the condo number on the unit the first night as they are well hidden.  All in all I had a great stay and would recommend this place to anyone needing a private bedroom in Austin."
3551072,22895142,2014-11-17,11258123,Dian,"This property was fantastic.  Erica was so pleasant to correspond with and was very helpful with all of my questions.  The pictures don't do the property justice.  It is comfortable, clean, and very nice.  It worked really well for our group since it was a 3-3, which isn't necessary that easy to find.  The neighborhood also exceeded my expectations.  I was very pleased!"
3551072,28122870,2015-03-18,541894,Lindsey,"The description was accurate- a great, spacious place that looked just like it did in the photos. A few things were a bit frustrating. The Nest AC/Heat control simply didn't help cool the place. I felt like it was being controlled by elsewhere, or was pre-set and refused to be reset. We also left the house early on our last morning and came back to find the code changed and access revoked. Thankfully the customer service was great and five minutes later we were back in the house, but i think its important to note that when you rent from TurnKey you aren't having the same back and forth conversation you have when you rent from a person. There isn't necessarily immediate response to questions, which was tricky. 

In regards to property though, the house is fabulous and location incredibly sweet!"
3551072,28236087,2015-03-20,16884931,Whitney,"Listing was exactly as described, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, great size. Balcony was great. House was beautiful. Everything was very clean. $6 cab ride to downtown - can't beat it. great value for the space. "
3551072,32091075,2015-05-13,17478865,Eamon,"Erica was very accommodating and made a point of helping us with a last minute request.  The space is itself was well maintained and very livable, I'd definitely recommend it."
3551072,44114002,2015-08-24,23809019,Evan,Great time in Austin. Beautiful open house. Erica was easy to work with and accommodated our late checkout.
8131911,50790358,2015-10-14,45322168,Vivek,Great neighborhood and location. Very close to all of the awesome restaurants on Congress and a short walk to downtown/ 6th street. Was able to walk to Zilker Park in about 30 minutes. Apartment was clean and a great place to unwind after a long day at the festival. 
4016112,21236528,2014-10-13,4195198,Julia,Meredith's place was perfect for our stay. We had plenty of space for our group of four and never felt cramped. She gave us plenty of recommendations and made sure we had the best possible stay. I would stay here again and recommend Meredith's house to anyone. 
4016112,21930917,2014-10-26,4014436,Katie,The house was so cute and in such a great location! We needed something very last minute and Meredith was extremely flexible and made the house ready for us to stay. The house was very clean and tidy. Meredith also left snacks and wine which was perfect after a long day of driving. I would definitely recommend others to stay here! 
4016112,23299361,2014-11-28,4131555,Jennifer,"Meredith's house is so cute, so boho chic.  In every corner there is a great flea market find that makes for amazing inspiration for your own home.  The location is wonderful.  Close enough to downtown and to the higher end shopping district.  Getting to South Congress is a bit more of a drive but, nothing challenging. 
Meredith had great suggestions for coffee and dining and was really quick to respond to any questions. 

I would 100% stay here again "
4016112,29001026,2015-04-02,3871497,Paul,"Meredith was very accommodating. House was very cute. She's got great taste in furniture IMO, and is one of the main reason I stayed there in the first place. She even tipped us on a fantastic antique fair happening that weekend outside the city. We had a blast! Thanks Meredith! Neighborhood was lovely. Close drive to anything you may want to eat, drink, whatever. Very quite area, which is always nice. We had a great time in Austin. Love that town!"
329306,1020166,2012-03-19,1813603,Laura,"We had a great time at Angel's place!!!  Her homestead is located so close to downtown and to everything wonderful on the East side.  My kids and I had fun walking to Eastside Pies for some late night grub.  Not only is Angel's home spacious and wonderful, but Angel is so generous and accommodating.   From my first interaction with her I got a good feeling about her (and I was right)!  Thank you, Angel!!!"
329306,1094670,2012-04-07,2013205,Leah,"Loved everything about it. The yard was lovely for sitting, bed super comfortable and everything well styled and perfect. Angel was wonderfully hospitable and brought me a breakfast tacos on my first Austin morning. "
329306,1120779,2012-04-12,1829261,Rachel,"Angel was a great host.  She was friendly and accomodating.  When we need to switch rooms she was very kind about it.  Also, being able to use the bikes was a game changer!  I really think bikes are the best way to get around Austin."
329306,1184857,2012-04-26,1492857,Judith,"We stayed at Angel's for 5 nights and the house ndlocation could not have been more perfect. Angel is a great host and was always very quick to respond and very helpful with all of our questions. The house is very comfortable and spacious and so eco-friendly. Annie, the live-in resident was also super friendly and welcoming. We definitely recommend Angel's place and would love to stay again! As our first AirBnB experience, Angel really set the hospitality standards high. Thank you!"
329306,1203158,2012-04-30,2120562,Kate,a pleasnat stay with a gracious host! Very convenient location.
329306,1248166,2012-05-08,2120588,Marissa,"We LOVED everything about this experience.  The house was cute, extremely convenient, and way more fun/affordable than a hotel experience.  Angel was a helpful host, and riding bikes provided us with a much more personal understanding of the city.  Loved the chickens!"
329306,1269293,2012-05-12,2325870,Deborah,"Pleasant room, comfy bed, gracious hosts. Neighborhood quiet, which I appreciate greatly, and having a bike to use and easy access to bus lines (super friendly bus drivers in Austin) made it as convenient as staying in town.
"
329306,1285743,2012-05-15,2180810,Kelly,"This place is amazing. The house is adorably decorated in a retro homey vibe, and everything is clean and pristine. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay here. The house is in a great location, and since Angel let us use her bikes, we were able to get everywhere! It really changed my Austin experience for the better."
329306,1297085,2012-05-17,2362183,Jessi,"Absolutely wonderful. We booked under the impression it was for a whole, two-bedroom house, but the other resident was very kind and quiet--a joy to talk with when we did see one another. Angel was a fantastic hostess: Showing us the chickens and the garden, making sure we had everything we needed for a great stay and providing wonderful conversation and dining/activity recommendations (We loved the Hillside Farmacy, especially!). The house is clean, comfortable, charming, and has a great kitchen and garden.

The location is unbeatable, very close to Downtown Austin/Sixth Street/Restaurants and food trailers/SoCo without being contaminated by the nighttime noise or getting trapped in traffic. I know we'll be looking to book Angel's home again next time we're there and recommending it to others."
329306,1604166,2012-07-01,2583207,Ken,"Great location and great host!! I just moved to Austin and needed a base in order to find an apartment. Angel was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. Some great restaurants nearby that I was able to walk to, close to a bus line to go downtown and within walking distance to UT campus. "
329306,1723591,2012-07-16,2791060,Neal,"Angel was very accommodating and we had a great stay at her house! I would recommend her house for a fun time on the east side of Austin. It worked out just right to walk down to some fun places on East 5th and 6th St. 
Thanks again!"
329306,1832591,2012-07-29,3019489,Dian,"Angel's house was great for so many reasons. Location to downtown area made our stay so much easier to get around and we did not have to rush to events because the house is literally 5 minutes from sixth street and all key locations. Comfortable, charming, great Host. Would love to stay there again in future. Much better option than a run of the mill Hotel. "
329306,1846651,2012-07-30,2910443,Sayble,"My stay at Angel's house was my first Airbnb experience and boy was it a great one! I needed a place for 5 people last minute and not only did she responded quickly to my message, she was willing to accommodate at such short notice. 

The house was beyond magnificent! Clean, great neighborhood and very comfortable and cozy. It really felt like I was staying at a close friend's house. Plenty of space, and way better than any hotel experience I could ever imagine. The location is great as well, 6th street is a short drive/cab ride away! Next time I travel down to Austin with a small group I will definitely be staying here again."
329306,2003249,2012-08-16,2841731,Rose,"Angel provided a great refuge for me while I was between places. Although we were both working a lot and rarely saw each other, the sense of home she has created in East Austin permeates the space and the people in it. I felt very comfortable and at ease here. Also, like their caretaker, the chickens are awesome and always up for a good chat!"
329306,2053628,2012-08-21,2773965,Emily,Very clean and cozy house. 5 of us slept comfortably here. Other major plus: the eggs from the hens outside were delicious!
329306,2354308,2012-09-20,3204229,Mate,A very pleasant room in a very quiet neighborhood. I have enjoyed my staying and the bikes were handy. Close to UT. I recommend it!

329306,2441265,2012-09-28,3655437,Fiona,"Angel was a fantastic host and gave us some wonderful recommendations on how to spend our time in Austin. We ended up having to share a room - but this wasn't a problem. Angel's house is as lovely as it looks on the site, clean, tidy, warm, friendly and some lovely chickens!"
329306,2511743,2012-10-05,3268316,Kevin And Mary,"This location was excellent.  Easy access to downtown and interesting local restaurants.  Host was friendly and easygoing and gave us the freedom of the (website hidden). use of the bikes, laundry and kitchen. Independence to meet your own needs is required. 
We had a good time watching the presidential debate and sharing in host's homemade beer. "
329306,2539372,2012-10-08,3416569,Courtney,"We had a fantastic stay here! For a bachelorette party, it was awesome to have a whole house to ourselves and not have to worry about splitting up between hotel rooms. Not to mention much more affordable! The house was adorable,and we would definitely recommend this place!"
329306,2631442,2012-10-16,2268325,Patrick,"Awesome ACL trip, and super hospitable host!

Although we spent most of our time out and about, Angel's 3 bedroom and 2 bath was very comfortable for our group of 7.  The location was probably just over one mile to downtown and probably a little over 3 to Zilker Park.  (Bikes were a great feature, making everything very accessible -- Angel provided us w/ 4 bikes). 

Angel was extremely polite and helpful through the entire process and even rounded up some extra bikes for our group."
329306,2695484,2012-10-23,952660,Marina And John,"Angel's place was great! 
The location is close to everything, every time we would head out it seemed we were only 7 minutes at most to wherever we were going.  Also, it is close to restaurants, coffee shops, bars, what else could you ask for. 
The house itself was neat! Great interior and lovingly decorated. The room we stayed in was fantastic, and the red chair in the corner was really comfortable after a day out.  The bathroom was clean as well.  The living area and kitchen were also comfortable.  The hens were good company and the garden was green, I really have no complaints. Angel even left out some maps and suggestions of things in the area.  I highly recommend Franklin's totally worth the wait and the hype.  "
329306,2731895,2012-10-27,3579072,Aimee,"Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Room was comfortable, bedding nice, chair comfy, was convenient to be able to lock my bike up inside the laundry room, and Angel was a very nice host.

Would definitely recommend if you want to be somewhere that's a little bit out of downtown but close enough to get to things."
329306,2784982,2012-11-02,121959,Carlee,"I stayed at Angel's house with some coworkers for about a week and it was perfect for what we needed: walkable to downtown & lower East Austin, right on a bus line, 3 bedrooms & a couch for the 4 of us, in a quiet neighborhood, comfy beds, and fast wireless internet to do work! And when we did have some issues the first morning we were there with figuring out how to turn the hot water on and restarting the router she was super responsive and helped us work everything out :) I would definitely stay here again!"
329306,2911996,2012-11-19,2276087,Xerxes,"She was very nice and very accommodating.  We ended up with 3 people there and she didn't even hesitate to let us use a blow up mattress.  The house is in great shape and everything is very well cleaned and feels homely.  I would definitively go back and stay here again.  Its only a 5-10 cab ride back and forth to 6th street and a few blocks away from the famous Franklin BBQ.  All in all, a great place and very convenient."
329306,2959103,2012-11-25,4064158,Norma,"Cute, unique house, friendly accommodating owner. Will definately do this again. "
329306,3017446,2012-12-03,4152727,Sam,"Angel's house is a great place to stay. It was easy to find, close to downtown, and contain lots of amenities making for a relaxing place to stay."

329306,3172433,2012-12-28,4255850,Ramsay,"A great little house in a deceptively interesting neighborhood.  I especially enjoyed feeding the chickens.  This arrangement worked well for us and I'd recommend it, though communications are sometimes a bit erratic.  "
329306,3182586,2012-12-29,3650265,Uri,"Fresh eggs from the coop!  Location was great, in up-and-coming east Austin."
329306,3414345,2013-01-26,2994453,John,"A great funky, eclectic house in a cool part of Austin. We were there to record an album a little out of town but found it very convenient on return when heading to local hot spots. Angel was really helpful and courteous and left us some local brews and bagels, a nice touch. Some hip and tasty eateries a short stroll and very close to the Austin Library too. All in all, Angel made this a very convenient and enjoyable stay. I would recommend this property to anyone who wants to be in the thick of things. A pleasant stroll to 6th street and a  short cab to South Congress. Well worth your visit!! "
329306,3428462,2013-01-28,4623167,David,"My wife Sara and I stayed in Angel's home for 2 nights. When we arrived the house was ready and we were able to let ourselves in. Angel came by a little later and welcomed us. She is very sweet and was more than helpful.

The home is eclectic and comfortable. We had everything we needed and had a wonderful time. We will most definitely rent from Angel any time we are in Austin and her rental is available!!!"
329306,3581133,2013-02-19,4534465,Joe,"This was my first airbnb experience and I felt like I was gambling alot bringing my wife, brother, sister-in-law, and a dog.  We'd stayed in hotels on our past visits and I hated being car-centric in such a cool town.  So I took a chance and boy did it ever pay off.  I probably didn't make things easy on Angel but her detailed instructions and the fact that she met us to go over everything at check-in made everything eased my anxiety.  Everything about the home seems a little better than the listing.  The location was absolutely prime for us walking to the start of the Austin Marathon and back home from the finish.  The bicycles came in really handy for the non-runners too.  We found several restaurants and coffee shops that made us feel like locals instead of tourists which is really the way we wanted to experience Austin.  I hope to stay here next year for the run but I'd recommend it to anyone else the other days of the year."
329306,3608975,2013-02-22,1426533,Tom,"Great place, easy to stay at, and Angel easy to deal with."
329306,3716627,2013-03-07,5138741,Rosa,"Clean, central location, great host who went out of her way to make me feel at home. Austin is a bike friendly city and Angel shared her bikes with me and showed me exactly how to get around. Bed was comfortable.. no complaints at all. 
If you decide to stay with Angel, treat yourself to breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Hillside Farmacy restaurant, which is close by and DELICIOUS. 
"
329306,3858383,2013-03-21,3786365,Angie,Angel was such a great host. She thought of everything! We felt right at home. She was a delight to talk to. Her house is in a great location. We hope to come back to Austin soon. We'd stay with Angel again for sure!
329306,3919652,2013-03-27,5091948,Helen,"Had a great time staying with Angel, we arrived and left at strange times but she was very flexible and helpful. Loved using the kitchen and spending time in her beautiful home!"
329306,4028356,2013-04-03,3234295,Samantha,"Angel lives in the trendy neighborhood of East Austin. Just a couple minutes walk away from Franklin's BBQ ranked of the best in the nation. And also near Hillside Farmacy (yes it's spelled that way) a cute and unique eatery. After checking out these places foot she has bikes you can borrow to easily explore the rest of the town. I personally did not get to try to bikes because it was a rainy day which was unfortunate. There are also fresh eggs from her chickens that you get to eat, good energy for all that bike riding. Angel is very accommodating and informative. I had a great stay!"
329306,4426555,2013-05-05,242462,Veronique,"I had already stayed one week with my friend at Angel's house, but I stayed a few more days by myself. Angel gave me great tips like to go at French Legation or eat at Mickletwait BBQ. As I've already said, the house is super nice with a great yard and hens who give fresh eggs for breakfast. Couldn't have wished for a better trip, but Angel's charming home gave it even more highlights! "
329306,4503731,2013-05-09,5245382,Timothy,Highly recommend Angel's home while staying in Austin. great location to downtown and Angel really goes out of her way to provide a very accommodating experience. 
329306,4541292,2013-05-11,2905528,Vanessa,"Angel's place was great. The chickens in the back were fun, and the use of a bike was very helpful for checking out Austin. The house is a short walk to lots of cute restaurants and things to see. The bed was very comfortable and the whole place felt welcoming and well loved.

"
329306,4618546,2013-05-15,2063234,Grainne,This was a great place to stay for exploring Austin. Many thanks to Angel for all her tips; as we didn't have much time in the city they proved invaluable. Luckily my siblings and I were able to stay an extra night with her to make the most of our trip! Really liked the house's decor and the happy chickens outside. Thanks a million.
329306,4884021,2013-05-30,2456938,Gil,"I was driving from California to Miami and decided to make a pit stop in Austin for a few days to recharge and see the area. Angel is a fantastic hostess and showed me around town. I got to see some of the local scene in Austin and I can't wait to be back there again.

The house itself was in great shape, bed was fantastic, and the chickens were awesome morning bros."
329306,5013737,2013-06-07,5532015,Yasmine,Angel was a great hostess. We really enjoyed the fresh eggs from her chickens and the accommodations were very comfortable. The location was also very close to everything we needed. Definitely recommend staying here!
329306,5102161,2013-06-12,5545852,Hannah,"We had a great time with Angel!  She and her boyfriend John (who came over one night) were so fun to talk to.  We loved relaxing on the back patio and playing with the chickens.  Those eggs were the best eggs I've had since I was six years old and lived on a farm (also with chickens).  This is a great place to go if you want to do some cooking, because she gives you free reign to cook all you want and use any food she has.  It was nice having our own bathroom, too.  It was not within easy walking distance of the 6th Street bars, but she does offer the bikes for free, and that would be perfect.  "
329306,5167511,2013-06-16,6600789,Samuel,"Angel's Homestead in Austin was awesome! Great location, very cool house. Angel was so nice and very helpful with suggestions about what to do around town. I would certainly stay here again!"
329306,5190233,2013-06-17,6618205,Melanie,"Angel is great! The space is lovely and she is a fabulous host, even giving me a ride when she was out and about. Thanks Angel!"
329306,5295677,2013-06-23,6424832,Nancy,"Beds were comfy, house was great, Angel was SO helpful and friendly on our visit to scope out apartments for an upcoming move to Austin.  It was fun to watch the chickens, feed them scraps and explore Angel's innovative garden. We recommend this as a great place to stay. "

329306,5390753,2013-06-27,7096305,Yaseed,"This was a fantastic place to stay; practically dead centre of town. 
Angel is a lovely, easy going host who aims to make sure you have a great time. The fresh eggs from chicken pen was a great start to the day and there is enough food provided to make anything you could want. Access to bikes was a great addition, and used it to get around the centre.
The neighbourhood is great with the best food trucks you will ever try.

Definitely would stay here again 
"
329306,5519572,2013-07-03,6958896,Frans,Angel is a great host in a beautiful home in the amazing city of Austin! The location is ideal to discover nightlife music. Parking is easy. Thanks for a great stay.

329306,6266503,2013-08-05,7116724,Josh,"Angel was a great host with unique amenities such as fresh eggs and greens from her garden. We had a great day in Austin based upon a number of recommendations she and her boyfriend made; the trip to Barton Springs was fantastic! I would definitely stay again and/or recommend friends to stay with her. Also, her location is fantastic! Thanks again."

329306,6504353,2013-08-14,14827612,George,Really welcoming and friendly even though we booked only that day. Would certainly recommend Angel's house to anyone looking for a place to stay.
329306,6551128,2013-08-16,6856878,Anna,"We had a great stay at Angel's home in Austin. The rooms were lovely - clean, spacious and quiet, and Angel provided excellent suggestions for things to do and restaurants to eat at in Austin. I would absolutely recommend it to friends traveling to Austin."
329306,6607374,2013-08-18,1976492,Brooke,"Angel's home was warm and inviting.  We rented both bedrooms and each was clean, quirky and the beds were comfortable. As stated the location is perfect. We met Angel and she was delightful.  Her chickens are beautiful! "
329306,6679824,2013-08-20,3617551,Bryant,"My girlfriend and I went to Austin for a weekend stay and it was our first time trying a private room instead of the whole house/apt and we were glad we did! It was a great experience and we were welcomed without feeling like we were intruding at Angel's place. She was very hospitable and friendly, we definitely recommend her to anyone! Her place was close to a lot of places in Austin which made it a plus!"
329306,6703246,2013-08-21,8108467,Sara,Didn't get to meet Angel but loved staying at her place! 
329306,6819582,2013-08-26,7802222,Margaret,"We had a fantastic stay at Angel's place! She was not home, so we had the house to ourselves. She left great instructions - we really appreciated knowing how to use the TV and getting recommendations about local places to eat. We also loved leaving compost for the chickens. We had never been to East Austin before and liked the vibe - lots of bikes and organic eateries. Would highly recommend a stay at Angel's!"
329306,7080862,2013-09-05,8421007,Kate,First time Airbnb experience and loved staying with Angel. She was really easy to get in touch with and very flexible with our needs and gave us plenty of space. Her place is very clean and the bed was very comfortable! Would definitely recommend staying with her.
329306,7275333,2013-09-14,6261058,Daisy,"I couldn't have had a better first experience with Airbnb, Angel was friendly and welcoming, and her house is simply gorgeous. The area feels very safe (very residential with a middle school across the road) and despite not having a car, I was able to get around easily using local buses (the no. 2 stop is opposite an amazing pizza place 4 mins away) or walking up East 11th or East 6th to downtown (20mins max). As with most cities, the east side is hipster town with loads of cool cafes/trailers/shops. As I was travelling alone, it was incredibly helpful to have someone as nice as Angel answer all my questions about the area. I cannot recommend her place and her hospitality highly enough!"
329306,7503655,2013-09-23,6602061,Pete,"Great location to stay in, on 15mins to 6th st walking. I stayed with Angel for a week and can say she's a great lady with plenty of info for the newbie to Austin. Rooms are big enough so you have your own space if need be, but the large living/kitchen area is cool. Plus the AC is great so even on the hottest of Austin days you've always got a chance to cool down. Really good laundry too and Angel has the bikes you can borrow if you need. If you're coming by car there's plenty of parking as well. I really enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to anyone!"
329306,7597569,2013-09-26,6537567,Aaron,"My sister and I were visiting from Chicago and chose this spot because of it's location in East Austin. We had a fantastic experience. Angel empowers you with all the things you might need to have yourself an adventure of your own making: bikes, a nice yard for hanging out and talking, a book full of smart recommendations about places to check out, lots of cooking supplies in a great kitchen, and strong coffee. The house was clean, cozy, youthful, funky, and we felt very comfortable. We got a sense of what it might be like to live in Austin... which was one of our goals for the trip. Highly recommended. "
329306,7653155,2013-09-28,8758096,Robert,"I had a very good stay at Angels house. She made some incredible kale chips i must say!!

The house was clean, very nice beds. I slept like a baby :)

"
329306,7738344,2013-10-01,52709,Zsuzsanna,"Angel's house is the perfect quiet get away. The house is the right size for four guests and though Angel was there to greet us and give us some (awesome) tips on where to go, she was out of the house our full two days so it did not feel like we're stepping on each others' toes. The location is perfect, great restaurants and bars within walking distance. Would come again. "
329306,7828892,2013-10-05,5914456,Annie,Angel was a perfect host. The house is great and she was full of local information and advice. 
329306,7986344,2013-10-11,3583491,Jeanette,"I was in Austin for a conference that ironically, Angel was also attending! My boyfriend and dog also stayed in Angel's home and had a terrific experience.

Angel is clearly an experienced host -- she was flexible yet clear about expectations. She has a very useful airbnb binder in the house that helps guests navigate their Austin experience and have the best possible stay in her home."
329306,8170466,2013-10-19,386645,Brittney,"Although we only briefly saw Angel during our stay, her home was warm, clean, and everything we needed during our stay in Austin. Highly recommended!"
329306,8329821,2013-10-26,8923922,Kirsten,"I loved this place! Within walking distance of the Capitol building, 6th and Rainey streets. We don't come down to Austin very frequently, but given how easy check in was and how close it is... well it sure makes the decision to visit a lot easier. Angel has so streamlined the process that we didn't even see her while we were there. We will definitely be back!"
329306,8426859,2013-10-30,2304211,Didier,"My wife and I stayed at Angel's for 3 night on business. Clean and close to downtown. The Ritz it is not, but if you are looking for an economical place close to downtown, this may be the ticket."
329306,8456827,2013-10-31,4943481,Ariel,At the last minute I couldn't stay with Angel--hopefully one day!  But she was got back to me very quickly and was easy to communicate with. 
329306,8737330,2013-11-14,5794603,John,"Angel was a fantastic host!  She has a binder full of options if you haven't done your Austin homework and her place is an easy walk to East 6th St and good public trans/cab/driving access to the rest of the city.  The room was quiet and clean, and the house had plenty of amenities including a private bathroom for us (we were the only couple there), full kitchen access, and even laundry access, which was great for us since we were 10 days into a road trip.

Overall, a great experience.  I would definitely stay here again.  Thanks, Angel!"
329306,9260706,2013-12-16,2093016,Miriam,"Angel was a wonderful, friendly and generous host. My brother and I both stayed with her, and thought we couldn't be any luckier.  Everything was organized and clean, and she even gave our car a jump when it wouldn't start. Thanks!"
329306,9321312,2013-12-21,7867264,Dan,Angel was a great host. She was really friendly. We even met her out for a couple of drinks one night. Everything was well organized and communicated. We could easily walk to all the 6th st bars and downtown. I would recommend anyone going to Austin to stay here. 
329306,9848337,2014-01-14,4928143,Iliana,"Angel was a great host to us our entire week in Austin. The space is lovely, and made for a homey respite after busy days of sight-seeing. Location was good, a short walk to the hip parts of East Austin and parts of downtown. Her bicycles were in working order. She embodied the ""mi casa es tu casa"" spirit, openly sharing basic foods, and even obtaining half and half for our coffee. She even drove me to buy medicine. The room was quaint, well decorated and heated. A lot of closet space, but no dresser to unpack your things. Our private bathroom was well-stocked, and spacious, with great water pressure in the shower. All in all, Angel was an ideal housemate for our week in town. The house makes you wish you lived there. "
329306,9992797,2014-01-23,9585129,Zachary,Angel's home is conveniently located in Austin and has ample parking. It's super clean and inviting and very accommodating for a variety of needs. I'd definitely stay there again. 
329306,10024823,2014-01-26,1968184,Andrew,Angel has a very clean and comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to bars and restaurants on east 6th street. Angel knows Austin really well and gave us a number of great tips on things to do and places to go while we were in town. I highly recommend staying with Angel if you are coming to Austin for the first time as I was. This is a great place to stay!
329306,10208459,2014-02-06,11018038,Maguid,Angel's apartment is really great. Angel's is a very nice host and helped us and gave us great advices. I totally recommend this place.
329306,10328566,2014-02-13,9204145,Katarina,"This is a great location in Austin, just minutes from restaurants and shops. We didn't have time to use the bikes during our stay, but loved that we had access. Angel was very nice and had written a great guide with suggestions about restaurants etc. Would highly recommend staying with her! "
329306,10361197,2014-02-16,10409338,Anika,"I didn't get a chance to actually meet Angel but her house was immaculate, quirky and so comfortable to stay in. Would definitely stay there again! "
329306,10416206,2014-02-18,4534465,Joe,This was our second stay with Angel and we actually got to hang out with her some this time!  We love the location and the layout of her home.  There is much charm of Austin that is easily accessible.
329306,10489204,2014-02-21,4243967,Julia & Abby,"As an Airbnb host myself, I'm always interested to experience other staying at other Airbnbs. This place was my top choice out of the options in Austin- it has a lot of character and I loved the bikes & chickens as amenities! Luckily Angel was able to accommodate me while I was in town for a conference, and she was a great host. I was able to bike to my conference at UT Austin every day, and explore the city by bike in my free time. Angel had great suggestions for places to eat and explore, and I also enjoyed meeting and visiting with the other guests whose stay overlapped with my last day. Overall- this place is a great find, excellent location, comfortable accommodations and a really great vibe. I definitely took home some hosting tips to apply to our place in Minneapolis. Stay here in Austin, you won't be disappointed! "
329306,10657634,2014-03-02,596405,Elizabeth,"Angel is such a delightful host and her home was perfect for us: comfortable, inspiring and so convenient to most of what we wanted to do in Austin. Angel was kind enough to give us some fantastic suggestions that ended up being the highlights of our visit and we loved the chance to sit down with her a couple of evenings and get to know her better. We were there for over a week and were able to do some cooking in her kitchen, which worked out perfectly. We'd absolutely stay with her again and left our trip inspired to bring some of her creative aesthetic into our own home...and maybe even get some sweet chickens!"
329306,10700576,2014-03-03,12416795,Cathy,"This was my very first airbnb experience and one that will keep me an airbnb traveler for sure.  My boyfriend and I stayed for one night.  Angel is super friendly and was a great host. The house was very neat and clean.  When we arrived Angel showed us the place and talked to us for a bit.  She asked what we were interested in seeing/doing then suggested some great places to go.  My boyfriend and I went out for dinner and some nightlife fun, all which was in walking distance from this location.  That night I dreamt that Angel made us fried (literally fried in a frier) eggs for breakfast.  When I woke up she was not frying us eggs BUT she did have fresh eggs for us in the fridge. (Fresh as in from right in the backyard).  They were delicious!  All around great experience.  We plan to come back and stay at Angel's again, as should you!"
329306,11125810,2014-03-22,11136272,Mina,"Angel was a very lovely and welcoming host. She communicated with us well in advance our stay and made us feel at home on our arrival. The room was clean , tidy and perfect -exactly as the photos advertised on air bnb. The house was spotless and decorated with some fantastic art! Angel's home was also in the best location we could ask for , central to everything - she is literally within 10 mins drive from everything in Austin ( airport , shopping , restaurants , wholefoods) etc which was fantastic . We would definitely stay here again as Angel was the perfect host . "
329306,11541088,2014-04-07,11419294,Kat,Cute place!  I met Angel briefly and she was a great host.  The house was clean. Location was perfect and close to downtown. I would stay here again. 
329306,11599837,2014-04-08,13266343,Pablo,"Angel was easy and very helpful. Her place is awesome and very comfortable!
It was my first time with airbnb and she make it easier if posible.
The house is clean and very peaceful!
We had a blast in Austin and Angel was part of it!

329306,11654484,2014-04-10,19540018,William,"We only stayed at Angel's for one night and met her just briefly, but everything was organized wonderfully. She is an expert airbnb host. Thanks Angel!!"
329306,12430538,2014-05-02,13382135,Linda,"My stay at Angel's Urban Homestead w/Bikes & Chickens was exceptional in every way. Angel is a superb hostess from the moment I made my reservation until I pulled out of her driveway. Equally attentive and respectful of privacy, she offered some great recommendations and suggestions that topped off my experience in Austin. Her place is comfortable, clean and nicely appointed, in a great location and very easy to hang out in when you need to relax. I loved that she had breakfast items available so I didn't have to go out first thing in the morning searching for coffee. She even had my favorite coffee on hand and cream. Thanks! 

I have already recommended her place to a friend who will be visiting Austin soon. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a centrally located, laid back place to stay, and someone who cares about providing a great experience for her guests . "
329306,12865590,2014-05-12,15135784,Hanna,"Angel was super nice! She was not at home the day we were staying there, but she answered all questions via sms very fast. The home was super cute and we enjoyed are stay there! Everything was taken care of: fresh beds, access code to the door, info, towels. We even sat down in the garden , drank some beers and saw fireflies!! Awesome! "
329306,13043479,2014-05-18,836871,Rebecca,I really enjoyed staying at Angels place. The location was great. I rode one of her bikes all over Austin. I loved the firm guest bed!!!!  Just a perfect place to stay. Very quiet. Breakfast food and snacks were provided. I really appreciate her healthier choices like Bulgarian yogurt. And she made homemade popovers. sweet! 
329306,13185606,2014-05-21,408845,Haerin,"Stayed with Angel for one night while driving through with my brother.  Angel is an awesome person who is fun to talk to.  Her home is spacious, comfortable, and close to 6th street.  I'd definitely stay with her again if - no - WHEN I return to Austin. Austin is wonderful. "
329306,13213769,2014-05-22,10535686,Michael,Cute and comfortable. She made us delicious popovers with eggs from her own chickens! 
329306,13476252,2014-05-28,2795614,Emily,"Angel's place was so great - and so big! We were able to come and go as we please (a huge win for us) and borrowed her bikes to get around the city. The house itself is removed enough from the main streets to feel quaint, but close enough to feel like you're in the middle of things. Angel was out of town when we arrived, so we didn't get much facetime, but she was super sweet when we checked out. Would definitely book again! "
329306,13720389,2014-06-02,2488223,JoAntonio,Angel was a great host. She welcomed me into her house and was very helpful about finding great places around Austin. She was very trusting and reliable. I look forward to staying with here again. 
329306,13760154,2014-06-03,15561961,Lisa,"Had a great experience staying at Angel's Urban Homestead w/ Bikes & Chickens! Both Angel and her chickens were friendly. Angel was helpful, especially in regards to navigating Austin, and gave me a helpful tip on where to park within a few blocks of the Austin Convention Center, which made all the difference in the world. The neighborhood was quiet and the house and room were clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again given the opportunity!"
329306,13806435,2014-06-04,1454625,Michael,"Angel's house was unique, had a special charm, and was in a great location.  She showed me a couple of great spots for food and beer within walking distance.  She was an excellent host and even joined me for a beer so I didn't have to strike out alone.  If you ask nicely she might even make breakfast for you!  For the price, you can't beat the quality and location.  Thank you, Angel!"
329306,13838396,2014-06-05,16304353,Corinne,"My experience with Angel was fantastic.  As a first time Air B n B guest, she sent me a detailed email with everything I needed to know about checking in.  When I arrived at the house, she provided snacks, bikes, and maps.  She has chickens so there is an endless supply of fresh eggs.  She recycles and has a compost pile as well.  The house was cute, comfortable, and the room was spacious and quiet.  The neighborhood is a 10-15 minute walk from bars, food trucks, restaurants and cool Austin-esque attractions.  I will stay here again when I have more time to spend in Austin.  If I decide to move to Austin, I'd definitely live in Angel's neighborhood.  Thank you for being incredibly hospitable! "
329306,13864626,2014-06-06,16186075,Natalie,"If you ever end up staying in Austin, check out this listing. The area is located in a quiet neighborhood and really close to E 6th St. I arrived a little bit after check-in time and Angel was very helpful. She gave me recommendations on places to check out and eat (she knew a handful of vegan places, which was awesome).  It was a very refreshing stay considering the fact that I had been on a road trip for the past ten days, it absolutely feels like your own home and Angel is very welcoming. My flight the next morning was a breeze because of the location, AUS is no more than fifteen minutes away with traffic. If I ever go back to Austin, I'll definitely be staying here again."
329306,14046399,2014-06-10,15811915,Rachel,"This was a great place to stay in Austin! The house was adorable, the chickens were cool and the location was convenient. It's pretty far to walk to the center of town but not impossible. Angel was very friendly and we're so glad we stayed here. "
329306,14108402,2014-06-11,3297273,Gwendolyn,"We loved our stay at Angel's place!  She was very communicative, friendly, well versed on places to go in Austin, and offered many amenities that you cannot find at a typical hotel or airbnb home (fresh eggs from her chickens, healthy snacks and beverages, bikes and a piano!).  Her home was clean, comfortable and we loved her taste for eclectic design.  We look forward to staying here again."
329306,14408812,2014-06-18,10984242,Christian,"I stayed at Angel's place for two nights. Nice clean and air conditioned room and great bathroom. The flat is lovely and you know, where do you see chickens alive these days. Angel showed me around the great indie area and gave me some great advice (incl how to use that lock with the numbers on it). Thanks!"
329306,14912903,2014-06-29,14600482,Heidi,"This girl is a pro! She makes it very simple  and easy to enjoy your stay in austin. With my 5 1/2 yr old, i tend to spend some time at home, and angel's house and guest room were perfect for lounging and watching movies during the thunderstorms , enjoying lazy mornings making breakfast (stocked and fresh eggs a bonus if you arrive and don't get to the store) while my daughter explored the backyard and made fast friends with the hens.  My daughter truly looked forward to feeding the hens our compost after breakfast and I think delta Burke quite enjoyed It as well. C
She didn't want to leave and said it felt like home. Checking in and out is fast and easy- we had a car, but there is a lot to check out within walking distance in her neighborhood as well.  For our first air bnb experience- I know we'll be back . :)

329306,14979139,2014-06-30,6489467,Patrick,"Perfect location, nice hosting."
329306,15070570,2014-07-01,16716319,Hanna,"We had a wonderful time in angels place!! The beautifully decorated house is located in the hip east of Austin, close to everything. With the bikes you get everywhere even quicker. Angel and her boyfriend johnny were always willing to give us great suggestions for bars, restaurants and places to spend time. Without them we wouldn't have had such a good time."
329306,15165690,2014-07-03,15901121,Wylwyn,"The space is wonderful and exactly as shown. Angel is a very gracious host. She even went out with us for food and drinks, and showed us the local spots in the neighborhood. We decided to stay another night."
329306,15195779,2014-07-04,2728498,Peter,"Angel was a great host! She was super friendly and graciously answered all our questions. Her house was clean and comfortable and just a little quirky. The location was great, convenient both to downtown and the nightlife of the the east side. We didn't have to get on the highway at all during our stay. Would definitely recommend! "
329306,15270166,2014-07-06,16218074,Bryn,"Angel was a great host! She obviously is a pro at this and is extremely organized and professional. Her house has a great, convenient location for everything that we wanted to do (canoeing, south Congress, UT, sixth street/Rainey street, etc). She was very welcoming and had everything from cereal to shampoo to netflix if we wanted. Loved staying with her!"
329306,15484056,2014-07-10,12532992,Stephanie,"Angel is a great host! She was super friendly, gave us great tips to enjoy the city and we really liked her home; loved the vintage decor, very cozy. We would go back anytime. "
329306,16178897,2014-07-22,18066369,Renee,Angel was such a great hostess!  She made us drinks when we arrived and had food for us.  Her place is so cute and within 10-15 min of rainy and 6th street.  This was my first time doing airbnb and I had a great experience. Would definitely do it again!  
329306,16203381,2014-07-23,6866242,Sarah,"Angel's place was very comfortable, clean and close to many local attractions, restaurants and bars. We were very lucky since Angel and her boyfriend offered to take us out one evening and show us some of their favorite local spots. We had a great time and enjoyed staying with Angel during our visit to Austin! "
329306,16714902,2014-08-01,16111439,Susan,"This was our first experience with Air BNB & we could not have been happier.  We were on a tight budget & didn't want the surprise fee's that hotel chains can apply after you start looking into reservations (fee's for using wifi, fee's for parking, fee's for breakfast, etc).  I appreciated that all of the fees & accommodations were all laid out from the beginning.  We knew what we owed for the room (private bedroom & private bathroom), knew that we had use of her wifi (which worked better than some wifi at hotels), were welcomed to use her washer & dryer (which was great during a week long trip), and we had use of her driveway to park.  She even provided breakfast basics (which was such a nice touch), & encouraged the use of her kitchen to cook (another nice touch -especially on a long stay).
Her home was very comfortable & very clean.  We felt welcomed at very much at home.
Angel is obviously a pro at hosting.  In fact, it was the amount of positive reviews that convinced me to book in the first place.  I was very happy to experience that everything past guests had said was true.  We were able to go & come as we pleased.  Angel was there to answer questions, give recommendations (in person and also by providing a binder to look through at the house & by sending us a few links to check out before we arrived).  Oh yes, and there were the chickens.  The ""Golden Girls"".  Ok, this was a big reason I booked the room.  It was such a treat to go out every morning & say hello to the girls.
Austin is a great city to visit & I would 100% recommend staying at Angel's house.  The home is centrally located & was just a short drive to downtown, east side, west side, everywhere we wanted to visit.  We had a great trip & can not wait to return."
329306,16999454,2014-08-05,8089470,Christian,We had such a great time staying with Angel - she was sweet and very open and accommodating. We never felt out of place in her home. The room and bathroom were very clean and comfortable! We ended up driving around town but there are bikes available to use if needed. Austin was great!!! 
329306,17230762,2014-08-09,10806640,Deen,"We had a great time staying with Angel!  Awesome house, very close to cool bars and food, all in all very comfortable.  Would definitely do it again!  "
329306,17439393,2014-08-12,11183529,Sabrina,Angel and her home were both very nice. I had a short stay in Austin and didn't get to do much but there were some cool bars not far away and the place felt homey and comfortable. 
329306,17562119,2014-08-14,11347754,Katherine,The place was beautiful and clean. We loved the decor. The bathroom was great too. Angel was friendly and helpful. We loved staying there!!
329306,17999892,2014-08-20,15906774,Emma,"Angel was a really welcoming host and all round lovely person. The house and room were exactly as described and were beautifully and eclectically decorated and extremely clean. The neighbourhood was quiet and safe whilst being very close to some of the famous Austin eateries and bars. 
Angel's bikes were a lot of use to us (if a little small for my boyfriend) as we wouldn't have been able to see half of the things we did relying only on public transport and our feet. She had some very good recommendations about the city and was happy to answer our many questions on where to go and what to do. 
It was great to have access to her kitchen and the snacks and breakfast items she gave us were great."
329306,18277652,2014-08-24,19986034,Melanie,Angel was a great host and provided us with a cozy home in a nice location. She gave us great recommendations and helped make our stay in Austin awesome. 
329306,18537771,2014-08-28,3021298,Katie,"Angel's house is easy to find, spotlessly clean, full of helpful brochures about Austin, and stocked with breakfast foods! Even better, it was walking distance from the bars on east 6th st and franklins bbq. Great place to stay in Austin!"
329306,18793398,2014-09-01,409076,Mona,"Angel was the ideal host. I've done Airbnbs in over 10 cities and this is one of my top picks, especially for groups. I booked her house for a friend's bachelorette party weekend and I don't think I could've made a better choice. Her house had everything we needed and was so comfortable. We drove most everywhere but there are really adorable coffee shops and hip new East Austin restaurants an easy walk away and one night, after dancing, we were able to Uber it back from 6th street for under $10. I highly recommend Angel's place and Angel herself was an amazing host and incredibly responsive with any questions I had.  "
329306,19085933,2014-09-06,4704676,Michelle,"Angel was a wonderful hostess and her house is fantastic. She was easy to communicate with before we got there, was really helpful in recommending places to eat, and just seemed like an all around lovely person. We were travelling with our 8 week old and Angel was so sweet with our baby and made us feel right at home. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a great time in Austin without breaking the bank. "
329306,19591895,2014-09-15,16633212,Tania,"Angel was a warm & friendly hostess who was very welcoming to my family. Her home was eco-friendly home with ALL the amenities (parking & laundry were a breeze!) & we loved meeting her hens. East Austin offers super cool venues for food & live music nearby. Regrettably our stay coincided with 2 days of rain showers so we failed to utilize her offer of bicycles. Looking forward to a repeat trip to Austin!

329306,19753973,2014-09-17,21080788,Arabella,We had a lovely stay - thank you! Great location walkable to cool bars and restaurants. Very easy to check in and come/go as you please and great local recommendations from Angel.

329306,20625824,2014-10-02,21631558,Rachel,I had never been to austin before and she talked to me about my likes and gave me suggestions as to what to do based on my interests. She was very friendly and would chat with me or if she needed her space was able to diplomatically go do what she did. I never felt like a stranger in her home.
329306,20945539,2014-10-08,14629205,Leland,"I did not actually get to stay with Angel because I got sick and didn't want to bring any icky germs into her house; however, she was totally understanding of my changing plans and she was quick to respond to my messages. I'm sure my stay with her would have been wonderful! "
329306,21057145,2014-10-10,5586331,Cherie,Angel made me feel comfortable not just in her home but in her neighborhood. Enjoyed walking with her at night to E. 6th Street for dinner (great food trucks to choose from)  then to a few live music spots for a few drinks. I hope to visit again & stay long enough to try some  fresh eggs made by her own chickens. 
329306,21329690,2014-10-14,5986730,Andrea,"I was lucky to find Angel's place available when my friend and I needed a last minute place to stay before an early-morning flight.  The place itself is  very homey and  conveniently located a quick walk away from the bars/restaurants on E 6th St.  Angel was a great host and gave us a bunch of suggestions of places to check out nearby.
I regret I had to leave super early the next day and therefore didn't get a chance to try the fresh chicken eggs. "
329306,21347013,2014-10-15,10517946,Robin,"Angel is the perfect host and a lovely person, she makes you feel so at home in her house. It's a lovely house in a really good position - walking distance to the best bars, eateries and honky-tonks in Austin.
Cant recommend this place enough!"
329306,21469769,2014-10-18,20283298,Sarah,"We had a great time in Austin. Angel had awesome recommendations for sights, food, bars and music. And she tolerated our 20 month old toddler graciously. We were a bit ambitious in trying to squeeze two adults into one of the beds, but the beds were as described. Lovely furniture/decor in the house, gave it a great atmosphere. "
329306,21823196,2014-10-25,16327322,Debra,"Great neighborhood within walking distance of Sixth St and East side Yoga as and if you are up for a longer walk, all the way into town. Angel was very helpful with recommendations for exploring Austin. We enjoyed seeing the four hens and their eggs for breakfast. Organic foods were available in the kitchen and we slept well in a comfortable bed with bathroom amenities. We used the washer and dryer and enjoyed our stay very much!"
329306,22066041,2014-10-29,838216,Robert,"Room and bathroom clean, private and spacious. Angel and Johnny were very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to make a breakfast omelette, but the fresh eggs did seem appealing. The room could do with a set of draws for guest use. Quite close to the city but a decent (1800 metre) walk to the convention centre, not that I was against the exercise, the walk suited me."
329306,22159738,2014-10-31,4468875,Adam,"This was my first time booking an AirBnb and Angel's place gave us a great first impression for the future. Her place was very cool and exactly as described in the listing. She had chicken's in the backyard, bikes ready us to use, and a comfortable bed. I would highly recommend staying at any of Angel's properties."
329306,22392270,2014-11-04,13449408,Teresa,Angel was very welcoming and friendly. She was very helpful about where to eat and things to do around Austin. The room was very nice. I would like to stay there again if I am back in Austin. 
329306,22506714,2014-11-08,9734571,Brett,Austin is great and so is Angel. The location is ideal and everything in this listing is exactly as described. Book this one and you won't be sorry.
329306,22618774,2014-11-10,22720346,Katie,"Our stay with Angel was absolutely wonderful! Her home is awesome and she makes you feel 100% welcome and comfortable the moment you step in the door. My friend and I arrived looking to explore Austin and Angel gave us some great recommendations for good food and things to do and see while visiting. She has two great guest rooms, a clean and spacious bathroom, an awesome living room/kitchen where you can relax and last but not least, chickens in her back yard! I absolutely will stay with her again if I ever go back and couldn't recommend this experience more to anyone looking for a great stay in Austin! :) Angel is your gal!"
329306,22741315,2014-11-13,16969074,Ellis,"Oh my gosh! Her house is so cute! I loved everything in it! Basically I am writing this from the closet, I have been hiding in there because I don't want to leave. Angel was so wonderful, very awesome person!"
329306,23263915,2014-11-27,20457493,Andrea,Great location near downtown Austin. Bikes were an absolute bonus to us without a car and we were able to cycle freely about town. Angel was very hospitable with great recommendations on local eateries and places to visit. Rooms very clean and comfortable AND we made our own breakfast with her hens fresh laid eggs. Delicious. 
329306,23544920,2014-12-04,66318,Paul,"Angel is a fantastic host, we felt welcome and relaxed when we walked in the door. Angel was gracious enough to also take us to a few local spots for food, beer and honky tonk infused people watching. It was quite the Ned Kelly beard experience... fantastically Austin. :)  The home is filled with fun quirks and has all the amenities any guests would require. Location wise, Angel's home is in a good location quickly connected with buses into the city, a short walk to fun places and also (how we liked to get around) has some spare bikes you can borrow to venture out anywhere you like in Austin."
329306,23591373,2014-12-05,22383294,Jeremy,Angel was an Angel.  Besides being a great conversationalist she has quite a lovely home.
329306,23865281,2014-12-13,7942346,Ali,Angel was very nice and responsive almost instantly. Her house is very charming. Highly recommended. 
329306,24042730,2014-12-17,10460627,Brent,Great stay! We booked less than 24 hours before arrival. Angel was more than accommodating. We walked to many nearby bars and restaurants on 6th street no problem. Full bed(not queen). Would recommend! 
329306,24183746,2014-12-22,23357045,Ginger,We stayed 2 nights at Angel's house! Cute room and close location to everything. She was so nice and we went to meet her and friends at the Whitehorse down the street  one night for drinks and great music! 
329306,24275981,2014-12-24,24291903,Quinn,"Great place, very nice and hospitable host. I felt very comfortable there. A very positive first air bnb experience!"
329306,24322313,2014-12-26,21708688,Celine,"My husband had a really good stay. Angel was out of town so we had the house to ourselves which was pretty nice. Everything was neat and clean. We had french pressed coffee and fresh eggs one morning which were amazing. We like the location, very closed to bars and local market. Thanks Angel!"
329306,25157873,2015-01-07,10969438,Susan,"We only stayed with Angel for two nights, but I wish we'd spent more! The advertisement is accurate; the room and private bathroom were quite cozy and really clean, just like the rest of the house. Directions and house manual were really clear and helpful. Thank you for a great stay Angel!"
329306,25312901,2015-01-12,11732075,Daniele,"Our stay at Angel's was great! Any useful information was provided in detail on a guest book, so that even when she's away one can have tips on what to do and where to eat in Austin. Having the bikes was definitively a plus. And we loved the chicken!"
329306,25417074,2015-01-15,24116516,Lila Rose,"Angel's home was cute and comfortable! She was an experienced and kind host, and we appreciated her recommendations. The house has a great country feel! We would highly recommend staying with Angel."
329306,25929296,2015-01-30,9576415,Alex,"Lovely house in a great part of town, well away from the craziness of 6th Street but near enough to downtown. Guest room was really comfortable, and Angel was very helpful with recommendations of places to visit and eat. Highly recommended!"
329306,25961530,2015-01-31,5658003,Katie,Perfect stay! Adorable place and easy check-in and out. Would recommend to all Austin visitors.
329306,26170307,2015-02-05,1699819,Blair,"Angel was a wonderful host. She was readily available to help with directions, and when we got there she was super nice and eager to help us find the fun spots nearby. The place was really clean, with great decorations, and she even left us fresh eggs and breakfast supplies for the morning. I would definitely stay here again, and next time, use the bikes that she has available. There is so much to see in her neighborhood, we only wish we were there longer!"
329306,26194199,2015-02-06,20278259,Tomas,"The house is very cozy, comfortable, and its convenient location less than a mile from the 6th Street was a great plus when we went out for dinner with friends. Angel was a great, welcoming host, we had a chance to chat for a bit and she shared several useful tips that only Austinites know. I would definitely recommend staying at her place to anyone.
"
329306,26414329,2015-02-12,17354329,Tanya,"We really enjoyed our stay at Angels place. It had everything we needed. Comfy bed, nice bathroom and full kitchen which we didn't really put to full use. 

Angel was a great host, friendly and full of good suggestions for places to check out. 

 Getting there by bus from the airport was a piece of cake with her instructions. We used the bikes for getting around which was super handy. Would stay there again for sure. "
329306,26588478,2015-02-16,23129317,Jillian,"My friend and I loved staying with Angel for a long weekend in Austin! As it was my first time in Austin I had a lot of questions and Angel was friendly, helpful, and provided excellent suggestions for what to do in the neighborhood and around the city. 

The house was lovely, with a large, open kitchen where we enjoyed the fresh eggs from Angel's four chickens in the back yard. We also made use of the bikes she keeps for visitors which was a great way to explore Austin. Room was as it appears in the pictures. 

If I head back to Austin again I would definitely stay here again. Her location in East Austin is well situated for quick access to great spots in the neighborhood, and a quick bike ride away from South Congress and downtown. "
329306,26796835,2015-02-19,2745851,Amy,"We loved staying at Angel's super cool home. Angel was very nice and great fun. We so enjoyed chatting and getting to know her that we asked her to join us for dinner! She took us to a great place in her neighborhood. 
Her home was super tidy and clean. Everything organized for AirBNB folks. The seperate bathroom  was a treat too. All amenities available and the bedroom cozy and comfy. We loved having fresh eggs for breakfast from her four lady chickens in the garden.
 Angel is a great host, easy going warm and fun. I highly recommend her place plus she has other options to check out like a fun vintage camper that we want to try next time we are in Austin! 
Thanks Angel for being a great gal and hostess!!"
329306,26855458,2015-02-21,21468000,Matthew,"This was our first Air BandB experience, and we felt that our host made us feel very welcome, and at home. She was very helpful with travel plans, and was able to give us an inside view of Austin. We also enjoyed the neighborhood we were located in. It was very easy to connect to many different locations from where we were staying. "
329306,27160967,2015-02-27,23804442,Daniel,"Our stay in Austin with Angel in her beautiful house was fantastic. The room was all we needed for our short stay and the house was a short walking distance to some fantastic food vans and stores - If you're in town, don't miss Sister Coffee, Micklethwait Craft Meats and Farmacy!

Thanks also Angel for being flexible and accommodating amidst our weather-caused travel troubles!"
329306,27390782,2015-03-03,10761996,Julieta,"Angel was a fantastic host! Her place was lovely and she really made me feel at home. The chickens were very cute and it was great to have fresh eggs everyday- and Angel makes super tasty pop overs! She was always quick with recommendations and  tips for getting around Austin, and since it was the weekend she had some time to show me a few really cool spots. 

The neighborhood was great and there were plenty of friendly shops, restaurants and bars within walking distance and it's just a quick jaunt to downtown. There were several bus lines close by and the transit system was relatively easy to navigate.  Everything about my stay exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Angel's place to anyone looking for a cozy home away from home in Austin. "
329306,27494735,2015-03-06,2451952,Anand,"Angel was a great host and everything went just as we planned. She happened to be at home when we planned to arrive so she was able to greet us in person. She was very welcoming and accommodating.

The location was awesome - it was a bit cold for us to use the bikes, but we were able to walk/cab everywhere we wanted to go and it was all very close. The east side has a ton of cool spots to eat, drink, and catch a show."
329306,27630200,2015-03-08,15220684,Elaine,"Angel es muy buena anfitriona. Se preocupa de darte informacion, a parte de tener una guia propia con los mejores luegares. 
Bicis disponibles y mucha amabilidad. 
La casa está bien situada, a 10 minutos a pie de East 6th donde hay muchos restaurantes y los mejores bares. 
Desde luego que recomiendo esta casa."
329306,27756265,2015-03-11,1098868,Adam,"The place was exactly as pictured, and it's as good as it looks. Definitely don't hesitate to stay with Angel. Extremely easy to get entry. Everything was very clean and comfortable. The location was even convenient to a library and food trucks (if that's your thing). Just a short drive to the conference hotels downtown. My only regret is that I didn't take up the opportunity for the free eggs! :)"
329306,28146372,2015-03-18,18333622,Nick,"Beautiful house, close to great bars and food, and Angel is awesome. Also the chickens are adorable. 3 thumbs up."
329306,28243066,2015-03-20,246222,Sandy,"Angel is wonderful at being a warm and friendly person while being a very professional and hospitable host.  I felt welcomed, comfortable, and very well-informed.  She opened up her home, kitchen, bike shed, and even chicken coop to me.  She was amazingly flexible and communicative as my schedule fluctuated.  Even her home's location is a pleasant balance of convenient proximity to downtown and neighborhood peacefulness.  I would definitely stay with her again if she'd have me! "
329306,28354249,2015-03-22,19756090,Tracy,"Angel was an amazing host! The house was great, Angel was super polite and welcoming, and she was incredibly knowledgable of everything you'd want to know about when visiting Austin. "
329306,28608128,2015-03-27,26703859,Jordan,"Angel was a lovely host and the location can't be beat! So close to so many wonderful restaurants and boutiques. Definitely take advantage of the bikes, it's the best way to get around Austin!"
329306,28758859,2015-03-29,28829442,Peter,Angel is an amazon host. I would recommend her place to anyone wanting to stay in east austin. The decor of her place is awesome and really makes you feel like you are at home.
329306,28908812,2015-03-31,21501480,Cassidie,"Angel was a great hostess. She made things very easy for us, including the check-in/out process and use of her bikes to explore the great neighborhood she lives in. Her house is precious and so are her chickens! "
329306,28989629,2015-04-02,22371803,Rj,Angel was awesome and the house was very accommodating! Loved it. 
329306,29264065,2015-04-06,26605637,Carolyn,"My boyfriend and I booked our first Airbnb with Angel after scoring cheap plane tickets to Austin for a long weekend and are so glad we did. Angel was a great hostess. She was welcoming but not overbearing, check-in and check-out was easy and the room was comfy, clean and a great deal.  We mostly ate out so we didn't use the kitchen much, but it looked like a solid setup if you wanted to cook. She has a nice patio too.

We liked the neighborhood a lot as well. The corner Angel's house is on is quiet, so we slept well. We didn't rent a car and found that we were able to walk to most places that we wanted to explore.

We loved Austin and are already talking about going back some day. We'd absolutely stay with Angel again. "
329306,29509938,2015-04-08,21801838,Fríða,"This place was great! We had a lovely time - the bikes made it easy to get around so we didn't need a car at all, and Angel's home is clean and spacious, just as described. Would definitely recommend. "
329306,30199969,2015-04-19,3108252,Vi,"Angel's place was perfect -- kitschy cool decor, comfy place, and a great host with great recommendations. We had a blast staying here and was able to walk and Lyft out way around the city without any issues. "
329306,30454159,2015-04-22,9217989,Erin,"Angel was a great host, easy-going, with good advice about things to do in Austin. The bikes were a huge perk as well! And the chickens were very cute! The free coffee and fresh eggs were great too!"
329306,30563657,2015-04-24,1665646,Alexandra,"Angel was very welcoming and accommodating. She has a great place in a very walkable location, and provided many recommendations for places to eat and drink in the neighborhood.
One thing to consider: if you're looking for a super-private stay, this may not be the best fit. There were several other guests staying at the same time, which made for a bit of crowding at breakfast and during bathroom 'rush hour' times. "
329306,30674862,2015-04-26,27789694,Monica,"Angel was very accommodating for my first Airbnb booking. Though she was out of town she was always sure to get back to me right away.  Her house is cozy and in a great spot to new areas in East downtown Austin and just a short User or bike ride to downtown. I had a last minute change with guest, and Angel was able to allow an extra person to stay. The only thing I learned was to make sure that my friends and I knew that another room was going to be taken by other guests one of the nights we were there, i.e. we'd have to share the bathroom. Overall, great host and good first experience. "
329306,31868987,2015-05-11,25188846,Lisa,"Great location and accommodations.  Cute, hip house.  Angel is an awesome host!"
329306,32173972,2015-05-15,702386,Ellen,"I had a great time staying at Angel's place. The location is fantastic and the room is outfitted with super cute,  vintage furnishings. Angel was a wonderful host, helping with dinner and entertainment suggestions. Highly recommend!"
329306,32542049,2015-05-19,1820294,Tomì,Great host and great place to stay everything was exactly as they looked in the pictures. everyone was very welcoming and angel was very helpful with recommendation and answering any questions we had.
329306,32759042,2015-05-21,17795653,Kim,"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Angel's home for so many reasons! 

1. It is an incredible location. We walked most everywhere and when we didn't, our Lyft rides only cost $5-7.

2. The home is comfortable and we absolutely felt at home. Angel has a lot of great extra touches including an area guide (which we used extensively) and unique amenities like the outdoor shower (incredibly refreshing after a bike ride around the area).

3. We got to spend a little time talking with Angel and even enjoyed some homemade soup made with ingredients from her garden. She recommended a dinner location (Lambert's-- YUM!) and an after dinner music joint (The White Horse) and we enjoyed both tremendously. 

All in all, our time in Austin was more enjoyable thanks to Angel and her welcoming personality and home. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!"
329306,33575834,2015-05-30,25704884,Susan,"Angel's ""urban homestead""  was just as she described it. Angel was most  welcoming. She was in the midst of making some kind of jelly or chutney and the aroma was delightful. Our room was comfortable, even though a bit on the small side. The bathroom was clean and adequate. we were attending a conference at the university of Texas and the location was great. It was also nice that bikes were available. We would do it again."
329306,34158271,2015-06-05,363371,Mel,"This is a great location in Austin.  Perfectly located away from the downtown madness yet easy to get into the fray within 5-10 minutes.  

Homey place with real live chickens as advertised.  Try their homemade eggs, they are fresher than the store!

Angel was super easy to get along with and suggested a few places I have never heard about being a longtime Austinite.

You will enjoy your stay!"
329306,34755266,2015-06-11,7577024,Daphne,"Angel was an amazing host and her home is a lovely place. Our room was very comfortable and not too hot, even it was the midst of Summer. Angel had arranged everything we could possibly ask for: breakfast, fresh eggs, maps of the area, towels, bikes, etc etc and she invited us to try her culinary experiments (she is a great cook!). Besides, she is a lot of fun to talk to. She showed us around her neighbourhood, where you can find many cool bars and great restaurants. I definitely recommend staying at Angel's: my friend and I only stayed for two nights, but I wouldn't have mind staying for a week!"
329306,35755380,2015-06-21,22347181,Mike,"None of the reviews here are overblown, Angel was an incredible host, and I believe she takes joy in the opportunity to have new people in her home, and get to know them. She was generous with her time, supplied delicious breakfast options (cooked some fresh eggs myself), and even had time go out on Saturday night to see a few venues in Austin. A delightful couple days!"
329306,36475983,2015-06-28,35676132,Laura,"Angel was my first Airbnb host and I had such an excellent experience.  She was kind, welcoming, and helpful.  The room was just as pictured and the house was clean and decorated very nicely.  Her home is unique and I felt right at home.  The neighborhood was quiet and easy to get to downtown.  If you are coming by public transportation or walking from the downtown, I recommend walking up 11th instead of 12th, its just a nicer street.  Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and stay there again myself."
329306,37253854,2015-07-05,7022774,Lauren,"This was my first time using Airbnb, and I was not disappointed! Angel has a beautiful home in a great part of Austin. Her guidebook was filled with tips and tricks and expertise of the city that was extremely useful. My only wish is that I wasn't so busy that I could have enjoyed the house more. "
329306,38041555,2015-07-12,33771539,Deya,"First time staying in Austin using Airbnb and we weren't dissapointed! Angel was very welcoming and helpful! I especially enjoyed the outdoor shower! And her chickens are adorable. We will definitely stay here again any time we are in Austin. Since this was a spur of the moment road trip, we had 2 guests join us last minute and Angel was very accommodating! Book with Angel, you wont be dissapointed!"
329306,38573829,2015-07-16,24206227,Ed,"Angel welcomed us for a same day arrival, shared her home-grown free range eggs, and obviously took great care in her clean, tidy, and well appointed place. 

We didn't get to meet Angel but her place allowed us to see all there was to see in Austin, and in close proximity. Quiet but close to everything.

Thanks for having us, Angel."
329306,39572201,2015-07-24,38890906,Melissa,"The hospitality was superb! The house was quaint and our room was clean and comfortable. The location was perfect and VERY accessible to the most popular attractions in Austin; 6th Street, Capitol and many fabulous and famous restaurants! Thanks for letting stay, we cannot wait to comeback for another visit!"
329306,39893942,2015-07-26,39291336,Rita,Good experience. Came and went as needed and was perfect place to spend a quick weekend. 
329306,40299288,2015-07-29,25103743,Chris,"Angel offered a full guidebook in her initial message. She lists her house as an immediate booking--which can be a lifesaver. Her house in Austin as centrally located, and there is plenty of food and space. It is better than most hotels."
329306,40838323,2015-08-02,39383285,Christie,Angel was a great host!  She quickly responded to all messages and gave great info about her place and the city of Austin.  Her house was clean and this was a great first experience with Airbnb.
329306,42323518,2015-08-12,39186427,Nick,Had a great time for my first airbnb experience. The bikes were not in the best condition but they worked to get us around the city for 4 days. 
329306,44923961,2015-08-30,37890492,Carrie,"Angel was a wonderful host.  My arrival timing worked out that she was there to meet me and able to give me a tour and offer additional suggestions of things to see in Austin.  I also loved the location and the accommodations.  I did not end up cooking in the kitchen, but Angel was very generous and offered a variety of snacks and items to cook.    I would definitely recommend a stay here."
329306,46151702,2015-09-08,5581233,Justin,Angel was the perfect airbnb host. Her chicken coop was a highlight and she even let us take a book about raising chickens. Her suggestions and hospitality made our trip to Austin that much better. We would recommend her to anyone looking to stay in Austin and the location is great!
329306,46458959,2015-09-10,17218594,Samantha,Angel was a perfectly accommodating host and her home was exactly what I was hoping for during my stay in Austin. 
329306,46873584,2015-09-14,29870092,Danielle,"I was unable to meet the host, unfortunately, but my stay in her home was smooth and comfortable nonetheless. Everything from check in to check out was well organized, and the room was perfect for my boyfriend and me. Thank you so much for a nice Austin getaway."
329306,47324067,2015-09-17,42697333,James,"Never got to meet Angel. But the place was lovely and clean. Had everything we need for our stay. There was an information booklet of everything that we needed to know and things to do in the city so it didn't matter that we had no contact with Angel. Communication in arranging the stay was very easy and had no problems when checking out either.

Best bit about our stay was the location of the property being walking distance from 6th street. "
329306,48889254,2015-09-29,40254287,Morgane,"What a wonderful time we had in Austin, at Angel's house ! Everything was perfect, the house is beautiful, and super clean, you have a nice garden, private bathroom, wifi, bikes and even chickens friends that provide fresh eggs :) 

I've spent a week at Angel's house with my father, visiting from Belgium and we had the best time ever ! We got to see all the cool places in town and to live the dream like a local, Angel is a fantastic host, I will recommend her to all my friends who would like to visit Austin, she's a great guide and know a lot about the town and where to go to eat, to shop etc.

If you need a spot for a few days and to enjoy Austin like a local, just stay at Angel's house ! The house is near everything, it's a walkable town and we were close to downtown, capitol, white horse etc and if you don't want to walk, just use Uber or the Bus : 2.50 dollars day pass !

Thank you again Angel and Johnny ! Best hosts ever :) x

"
329306,50668766,2015-10-13,8357995,Geordie,Angel was an amazing host and her house is even better than listed. Was super convenient to have bikes to explore Austin on and she is in a great location to see all Austin has to offer. Really made our Austin experience and can't recommend the listing highly enough. 
329306,52117502,2015-10-26,16809460,Barbara,"Great house with good location.  Very accessible, at least by car, to most of the Austin sites.  Angel was very hospitable and the room was cozy yet comfortable."
329306,52768888,2015-11-01,3701513,Jennifer,"I absolutely had an amazing time at Angel's place! It's comfortable, convenient and super close to downtown. Angel is a generous host and she knows how to invite guests into her home. I would highly recommend her place! It's hard to beat!"
196432,546061,2011-09-19,85659,Andrea,"Dhoi and her husband Arup are great hosts. I was their first guest during ACL 2011 and can recommend to stay with them! They were very helpful when I had problems with the Wifi but it worked with the cable. Dhoi went with me to the grocery store and offered me everything I could wish for. Location is perfect, the bus stop coming from downtown is in front of the apartment complex. If you are a good walker you can walk to Zilker Park/ACL across Mopac Foot Bridge."
196432,555225,2011-09-21,1150039,Kay,"Dhoi and her husband were wonderful hosts! Friendly and willing to answer questions I had. I was in Austin to explore and for the ACL gig. When I arrived Dhoi and her husband kindly offered to drop me off as close to the entrance as possible and Dhoi drew me directions on how to get back! 

Location is a minute from the bars on Fifth Ave and approx. a 15 minute walk from Zilker Park. $6 from Sixth Street by cab (can be walked)

Nice, neat accommodation :) No complaints! 

Thank you for your hospitality! :) "
196432,579059,2011-09-28,1173663,Damiano,"It is the best place you can stay in Austin. The room is bright, clean; the bed is comfortable; internet connection and A/C work perfectly. The two hosts, Dhoi and her husband, are really cool people, they give you tips about the city, let you use the kitchen and even offer to clean your room! Then there is the location. You are in downtown and you have a bunch of awesome bars and restaurant within 2-3 blocks. The price? You can't beat it. Highly recommended.  "
196432,678719,2011-11-01,850922,Jeff,"Dhoi was a great host, very accommodating and understanding."
196432,702465,2011-11-08,1220592,Dan,"The location is quiet but also close to downtown Austin. It's also quite close to a bus stop which makes it easy to go downtown as well. The location is walking distance to Zilker Park and also close to the US-1 on-ramp if you are going to be visiting north or south of downtown Austin. 

They also have WIFI, a spacious living room, and a desk for working. Also, Dhoi and her husband were very friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed my stay."
196432,756272,2011-11-30,1417097,Nicole,"Very nice, clean, and simple accommodation not too far from downtown and the river, in a good neighborhood. Dhoi was nice enough to take me up to campus when I arrived and drop me at the Amtrak station when I left. "
196432,816680,2011-12-31,1270962,Chloe,"This is a great place to stay! The room is clean, comfortable, light and in a safe and quiet neighborhood. The location is perfect for exploring downtown Austin by foot or even cycling (if like me, you prefer not to drive). It’s a short walk to Whole Foods, great coffee houses and bars, loads of excellent yoga studios and Austin’s fantastic Hike and Bike trail. Dhoi and her husband could not have been better hosts - they made me feel very welcome in their home, and left clear instructions for all the facilities. My only complaint is that I had to leave! Highly recommended! "
196432,1022213,2012-03-20,977845,Kirsty,"Great Austin location near Old West Austin and just six blocks from all the  action and one block frm Mean Eyed Cat on 5th.
Perfect for SXSW or just enjoying Austin.

Friendly and helpful hosts  great time was had
"
196432,1348941,2012-05-25,1405373,Matthew,"Although I only stayed for one night,  Dhoi and her husband proved to be tremendously accomodating and friendly hosts.  The room was clean and perfect, and the apartment is in a great location, with several bars and restaurants just a few blocks away.  A+, thank you so much!"
196432,1482859,2012-06-14,2555665,Hanna,"Great experience! The room was nice, the location is excellent--easily walking distance to downtown, and right near bus stops that will take you to campus, which is where I needed to go. And Dee and her husband are both wonderful. They were great to chat with, offered me food, and gave advice on getting around. "
196432,2036066,2012-08-19,2619110,Sarah,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
196432,2278188,2012-09-14,3079355,HsiaoChing,"Dee has been a wonderful host, even though I only spent one day at her appt.

She gave clear directions on getting to her place and called me to ensure that I had settled down while she was away at UT. 

The room is comfortable, best for one pax. Location is pretty ok, though there's abit of walking up slope. The nearby free UT bus 
shuttle service is very useful to get ard campus and switching to Cap Metro buses to downtown area.

Thanks for ya hospitalilty, Dee!"
196432,2612118,2012-10-15,477658,Cain,"I stayed with D last weekend during ACL and it was pretty great. She was warm and friendly, and as a previous reviewer said, really great with giving clear directions: I had no problems getting to the place. It's in great location too, not too far from good restaurants or bars or even public transportation. She offers a lot of privacy too and is very considerate of her guests. If you need a cheap place on 6th St., this is your place!"
196432,2925361,2012-11-20,2467686,Sonia,"Arrived the week before in Austin before going walk about. I met with Dee and her husband and she invited me to leave a bag at the address which was really helpful . They were both welcoming and friendly . The stay in my room the following week was comfortable ,clean and quiet . 
Dee was very helpful  ,I have no reservations of recommending a stay here . The address is a further than expected from downtown but a pleasant walk if you have the time . The bus stop is across the road . The only thing I would say is that the bathroom needs a deep clean but would stay again . "
196432,11005278,2014-03-17,217155,Sona,"Dee's place was great! Clean, spacious, and a 15-20 minute walk from where we wanted to be.  She's a super attentive host and was keen on making sure that we were comfortable and had enough information about our surroundings.

I will say that I wasn't comfortable walking all that way alone at night, but pedicabs will take you most of the way!"
196432,28165533,2015-03-19,7900950,Priscilla,"Since out first email, Dee was lovely, attentious and helpful. I haven't met her in person, but my friends who arrived first at the place said she was a kind lady, and gave them loads of tips about Austin. The place was very comfy and quick close to downtown. Everything worked really well! "
5452521,27417738,2015-03-03,3610652,Tate,Ótima localização. Casa igual as fotos. James muito agradavel e disposto a ajudar. Recomendo!
5452521,27748147,2015-03-10,18028286,Peter,"James was a courteous host. He let me come in late at night, which was kind of him. The location can't be beat, especially if you're interested in spending time both downtown and at UT.

- Peter"
5452521,27820911,2015-03-12,2193387,Devesh,"Great room, convenient location, James was super courteous and easy going, and man the Internet was blazing fast! "
5452521,27897803,2015-03-14,22543396,Brad,Good location with convenient access and it's just out of the SXSW madness downtown. James was very hospitable and accommodating--we had to change our arrival time a couple times. I'd stay here again. 
5452521,28481026,2015-03-24,10173229,Maggie,"My experience was excellent! James is a friendly host with great insights about Austin.  The house is bright, colorful, inviting and the room is great.  Extremely comfy bed.  I visited during SXSW and found the place to be in the perfect location - about a mile and a half from the convention center and super quiet.  Very walkable neighborhood and good access to a Bcycles station, if you're into that."
5452521,28548447,2015-03-25,29751569,Ngan,Our host was very welcoming and kind. His home is very cozy and comfortable and I enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much for being so accommodating! 
5452521,28620924,2015-03-27,5264521,Eric,"Had a great experience James' place.  Felt like I was staying at a real guest house as opposed to renting someone's room.  Great spot in the city, close to UT and downtown, both very walkable.  Place was very clean, well decorated and James and everyone I met were very friendly.  Strongly recommended."
5452521,28675490,2015-03-28,29469664,Noah,"Had to cancel at the last minute, but communication was quick, he outlined any issues and was accommodating."
5452521,28812785,2015-03-30,13389871,Tom,James was a great host and the place was very tidy. He had all of the accommodations taken care of. 
5452521,29418590,2015-04-07,15603908,Kayla,I enjoyed my stay with James. He was very welcoming and easy going. He even invited me and my boyfriend to an Easter barbecue. The room was very spacious and bed very comfortable. good location 
5452521,29842690,2015-04-13,28925138,Cheng,"Our host had an incredibly busy weekend but still managed to check-in with us frequently to make sure we were comfortable and had access to the amenities. The house is small but quite charming and located in a great location. The only drawback is the need for metered parking on Mon-Sat from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM; however, the meters are less than 20 feet from the house."
5452521,30101434,2015-04-17,5114799,Fiona,"James' house was a fabulous place to land in Austin. Lovely big room, comfy bed, great friends. He and his cats were perfect hosts, and made sure I had everything I needed. Muchos gracias James!"
5452521,30316617,2015-04-20,29708997,Kendra,"Great location within easy waking distance to both the campus and downtown. I was in town for a conference so I wasn't actually in the house much, but I was able to come and go as I pleased, and I was able to get plenty of work done while I was in the house. James was very welcoming and keeps his house stocked to make sure his guests have everything they need. The room is very spacious. Oh, and his cat Starbuck is adorable :)"
5452521,30396048,2015-04-21,28777665,Jeff,"James was great at keeping track of when we were going to make it in, and making sure someone was there to welcome us. The room and overall environment was sufficient and comfortable, and all of our needs were met. I would definitely stay again next time I'm in town."
5452521,30508933,2015-04-23,588190,Jackson & Kayla,"Staying with James was easy. He has a private room with a queen sized bed and a shared bathroom. He is around the corner from UT, a Starbucks, and some other good restaurants and an easy walk to downtown. We rented bikes through the B-Cycle system in Austin and there are docking stations very close to James' home. B-Cycle and Uber made the transportation around the city very easy and affordable. 

James has 2 cats, both are very friendly and enjoy snuggling.

James provides you with a key to the home and he was home most of the time since he works from home. James was very accommodating and comfortable with us coming/going as we pleased.

We had a great experience and would return when back in Austin!"
5452521,30778294,2015-04-27,13467806,John,"Big bedroom in great location. I was able to walk everywhere or take $5 Uber rides. James was a great host. He provided clean towels, bedding, and unlimited bottled waters, and also happily answered my questions about exploring Austin. "
5452521,31450665,2015-05-05,30022169,Michael,"Lovely area, the host was so kind, generous, and welcoming, but also super chill. The room was spacious and the host definitely prepared for our arrival, leaving water and towels for us."
5452521,31652510,2015-05-08,30939899,Svenja,We had a wonderful time in Austin. The house in Downtown has the best location to reach all the important spots in Austin within a really short time. (We took UBER). The house was clean and in a quiet and good neighborhood. The bed was large enough for two people and super comfortable. I'd definitly go back to stay at James' house if I'd come back to Austin! :)
5452521,31904256,2015-05-11,4138941,Susan,"We had a wonderful stay. True to its name, the home was close to downtown. We walked everywhere and were able to take a bus to and from the airport. Room/accommodations were clean and comfortable. James was friendly, easy to communicate with, and offered tips and recommendations about the city. (Thank you, James!) Absolutely no complaints. I would definitely recommend this host/location. 

"
5452521,32145101,2015-05-14,29084832,James And Ashlea,James is a great guy who is ultra generous. There was unlimited bottled water to drink as well as cans of pop and heaps of sweets dotted around the house. The location is perfect and only a short walk from downtown and the Capitol building. Our stay was comfortable and convenient. 
5452521,32214539,2015-05-15,33138102,Ashly,Great room in a great location. James was friendly and very helpful! 
5452521,32301376,2015-05-16,9206781,Georgiana,"You get what you pay for:

The host was a kind person, but the room's walls were quite thin and he had people over and music at 1:30am in the room next door, which interrupted my sleep ahead of an intense day for a good friend's wedding.  I texted him to ask if he could turn it down, which he did half an hour later when he received my message and seemed genuinely apologetic.  The stay was cheap, but unless you're open and flexible on noise/cleanliness/otherwise, I would not recommend it.   That said, he was a nice and easygoing person, so it depends what you're looking for."
5452521,32388208,2015-05-17,32216307,Sofia,"Nice location for a good price! James was very helpful, providing both snacks, breakfast and water bottles. Would definitely recommend for a stay in Austin!"
5452521,32757483,2015-05-21,28798295,Cat,"James is a great guy who is totally mellow and awesome. He had bottled waters waiting for us in the room and even let us use his washer/dryer to clean our clothes. He was super informative and we had some great chats.
"
5452521,32926374,2015-05-23,8538692,Alexis,"James is awesome and so is his home! Such a colorful place with tons of character, and he makes you feel more than welcome with open access to extra toiletries in case you forgot, and food and drink in the fridge. The bed was super comfortable, along with the room, and the house itself is easy-access to everything you'd need in Austin – without being directly in the mix. I'd stay here again, no question. "
5452521,33260060,2015-05-26,7012339,Hallie,My fiancée and I had a great time over the weekend in Austin despite being trapped inside by a tornado warning! James was very hospitable and accommodating. The house is very cute and the stay had an upscale hostel type of feel.  Looking forward to coming back to Austin when the weather is better!  
5452521,33402762,2015-05-27,22100978,Marion,"Good place to visit Austin! The room was clean, with everthing for a good stay! James is a good host!"
5452521,33703835,2015-05-31,28027494,Kelsey,"James was very accommodating and easygoing! He had a great room set up for the three of us staying, stocked with plenty of bottled water. We loved his colorful house and his cute cat! We were able to walk or take a short uber ride to anywhere we needed to go from this prime location. Would definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance! "
5452521,33949516,2015-06-02,7981584,Sara,"First of all, the house was really cute and comfortable. The decor was fun and James told us to help ourself to the candy dishes scattered throughout. He had extra toiletries and towels in case guests had forgotten. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, while also being just a short uber ride from fun things going on in Downtown Austin.

Leading up to the trip, I was really excited to stay at James' place but unfortunately we had a few big issues. James was difficult to reach in the hours leading up to check-in and we ended up waiting for two hours at a coffee shop down the street. Apparently, his friend was supposed to be waiting to meet us but that wasn't the case. Thankfully, we weren't rushing off to an event like a wedding, etc.

James was super apologetic and we thought that all would go smoothly moving forward but, once again,  when we went to the house to pick up our bags and head to the airport, we were locked out by the guests staying after us. We had to climb in a back window (open, unlocked, screen was already cut) to get our bags and make our flight on time. The communication between the host and us/the other guests clearly wasn't adequate and I hate to say but the host seemed flaky and too preoccupied with other things to give guests adequate accommodation. I hate writing bad reviews and maybe the issues could be resolved with a keypad lock system but I probably wouldn't stay here again due to all of the check in/out stress. "
5452521,34110399,2015-06-04,31180194,Pablo,"James was very welcoming and easygoing. His home is cute, clean, and the room was perfect for a quick overnight stay. I was able to walk or take a short uber ride to anywhere in the downtown/university area. Would definitely recommend staying here."
5452521,34230348,2015-06-06,33646973,Justine,"This was a perfect location for anyone looking to stay in downtown Austin without paying a ton of money! It's only a short walk to downtown Austin and his home was located in a lovely, quiet residential area. James' home was beautiful and so unique with it's quirky 1930's charm.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were so thankful James was willing to let us stay."
5452521,34419030,2015-06-08,30074449,Colm,"Cozy little house in a nice central location. James was flexible with checkin time since I didn’t know when I would get in and let me stash my stuff since I got in early before he had flipped the room. Helpful with any questions, candy and snacks scattered around and lots of bathroom stuff if you forgot anything in your bag. Would absolutely stay there again."
5452521,34608584,2015-06-09,18874008,Stephen,"James was very welcoming, as he was available when I needed to reach him and offered full use of his kitchen. The guest bed was also very comfortable, and the location is good. He is a nice guy. The only complaint I have is he forgot to mention that the hot and cold valves in the shower were backwards."
5452521,34893220,2015-06-13,34444690,Hardeep,Host was gracious. He was flexible with check in and check out times.
5452521,35245809,2015-06-16,2180250,Duc,"SUMMARY
The room and house suited our needs and more! Very comfortable and convenient. We definitely felt like we could do our own thing and were supported if we needed more. 

GREAT HOST
-Flexible check in and out helped a lot. 
-He responded very quickly to my inquiries. 
-I would have liked to talk with James more as he seems to be an interesting person. Unfortunately, our schedules didn't seem to match this time. 
-Candy was a delight! I probably enjoyed too many of the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups! 
-I appreciate how mellow James was. 
-Abundance of free bottled water was definitely appreciated! 

ACCURATE LISTING
-Listing seemed to be very accurate with the actual place. 
-Guest bed *was* very comfortable. 
-The chaise was quite comfy, too. 
-Location very convenient! 
-Parking meters quite inexpensive (when compared to many large American cities). About $1.00/hour, if I recall correctly. 
-Room and bathroom were very clean.
-Definitely appreciated having our own key and coming and going as we pleased.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT
-The hot and cold water knobs are switched in the shower. 
-Shower water wasn't as hot as I would have liked. 
-One request for next time is something to hang clothes hangers on in the closet/room (such as a rod/rack).

ALLERGY CAVEAT
There were a few kittens milling about during our first day there...so if you have cat allergies, be forewarned!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I enthusiastically recommend this host and location! Looking forward to staying there again in the future! Thanks, James! :)"

5452521,38121870,2015-07-13,5075656,Ariel,"James was a very welcoming and helpful host. I appreciated being able to tag along on a grocery store on the evening of my arrival. 

In the July Austin heat, the room was comfortable, with a lovely ceiling fan, and a brand new AC unit. 

For me, it was also very conveniently located, within short walking distance from the UT campus."

5452521,38771622,2015-07-18,37479921,E.Y. (Robert D),"James (et al) is a great host...met us at the door, showed us the layout, had offerings for our treat-tooth, let his two lovely kittens investigate the nature of dog (dog had never seen such curious kitten before...all went well). Clean kitchen was shared; clean bathroom was perfect with all necessary stuff; wi-fi was up to speed, and ideas about enjoying Austin were shared. He even let us play music on the front 'veranda' while Dustin the artist worked on his piece. We hope that we can return to his place again, its description is exactly right...all downtown is easily available from James' place at a great value. Thanks for two great nights...now for the Haiku Slapdown!"
5452521,39040718,2015-07-20,35818638,Suzy,"The host James was very calm, pleasant, generous, informative and flexible. This was my second Air B&B and I enjoyed staying with someone from the area in Austin. It is helpful to meet some people from the area with ideas of what to do. In addition staying with locals gives you an introduction of how people are in the area. (Rather than staying with all other tourists in a hotel.) The room was private with thick walls and the bed was very comfortable. James let us shower after we had already checked out and others checked in. He was very accommodating!"
5452521,39334599,2015-07-22,1971764,Laura,"We loved our stay at James' house. The location was great, the whole place was quirky, the bed was really comfortable and we felt very at home. It also helped that there were two completely adorable kittens wandering around while we were there... I would recommend staying here to anyone!"

5452521,40259743,2015-07-29,38376630,Amber,It was an easy happy experience. Everything went as planned and James was so friendly and accommodating 
5452521,40410677,2015-07-30,35417388,Adriana,James was very nice! He showed me the home and the place was clean! :) His family were really nice! 
5452521,40512977,2015-07-31,30940353,Jennifer,It was very close to the main strip of Austin! The hosts were very kind but left us alone which I liked. It was cheap! 
5452521,40911189,2015-08-03,33985546,Valerie,"We had a great stay here. The hosts were very welcoming and the room was clean and lovely. The kittens provided bonus fun. The house was just as described, and we also appreciated the location and the casual atmosphere."
5452521,43048635,2015-08-17,7537324,Chris & Robin,"James was a very good host, especially since he was willing to accommodate my late arrival time.
The bedroom was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was clean.
I am looking forward to returning next time I am in Austin."
5452521,43560414,2015-08-20,11447603,William,"Good contact from host in advance. Flexible as we arrived late and also offered some well bottled water on arrival-very welcome considering the heat. 

Unfortunately, it went downhill from there...seems a small party started up in room next to us (same house) about 1am and did not finish until 6am. Tried to contact host during night and also next day but no answer at any point. Very little sleep and felt unsafe - someone tried to open a locked door which adjoined our room and room with party. 

I had no response to two messages from when party started until checking out. I would have like to have spoke directly with host prior to leaving the following day at 1pm but I was told by person cleaning house that the host was still in bed.  I asked if cleaner if he could ask host to contact me by end of day to discuss. Never heard from host.

If you up for a late night party this may be for you otherwise I would avoid at all costs. Very disappointing experience.

5452521,46124910,2015-09-08,702311,Sara,"Great stay. I was picked up at the airport, welcomed with a sunlit and air conditioned room. Everything was clean, comfortable and easy."
5452521,46316104,2015-09-09,41208601,Bethany,"James was great! Very good experience, it was exactly what we were looking for! "
5452521,46549576,2015-09-11,755590,Kai,"The location was unbeatable as promised. Everyone who lived here was friendly and I was here for a conference but wish I'd shown up with a sixer and gotten more time with them. In terms of the basics everything checked out – there was enough hot water, plenty of A/C, it was an easy place to sleep in, and the check in and check out were super painless. This is the real airbnb experience – if you want a hotel, stay in a hotel, if you want a funky local place with snarky bumper stickers on the bathroom mirror and people fixing their bikes in the kitchen, this is your spot."
5452521,47063115,2015-09-15,13412897,Marilyn,"The description was not accurate.  I never saw the room pictured on the left.  Also, it was not clear to me that I would have to share a bathroom.  That is unacceptable.  Also, I didn't realize that I would be awakened by a cat at 4:30 a.m.  I like cats, but I don't want them waking me at that hour.  Also, I was unable to lock my bedroom door and was a woman sharing a floor and bathroom with two men.  Quite uncomfortable.

The location was good."
5452521,47633007,2015-09-21,7537324,Chris & Robin,"The bed was very comfortable, the room had great air conditioning, and I was able to get a great night sleep. It's also wonderful location because it's so close to the university where I need to go during the day."
5452521,48156629,2015-09-23,37604267,Stephanie,"Everyone we encountered in the house was so cool and welcoming, while still giving us plenty of privacy, this was my first time doing a private room and I have to say it was very pleasant! We even woke up to doughnuts for breakfast :-) they have 2 super cute pups and a very adorable cat (our favorite part!) but the animals were mostly in another part of the house and just stopped by to say hi. We were able to walk to several bars that night and a cool breakfast cafe (Arturo's) in the morning. I would definitely recommend and stay again myself!"
5452521,48409633,2015-09-26,41223041,Scott,"James was very welcoming and kind. The room was great; comfortable bed, nice area."

5452521,51693569,2015-10-24,34693161,Kelly,"James' home was a comfortable 15-20 minute walk to 6th street and felt safe to trek around during the day. The Room was fitted with a comfy bed and James was kind enough to provide a second mattress for us to have separate beds during our stay. The shared amenities were clean, but there were always a lot of people in the house (friends of the host and other airbnb guest) so you had to get in quick before someone else got in to use it. Given that there were a lot of people coming and going noise occurred during all hours of the day and night, and the house seemed to carry the noise through the walls. Because the house had a lot of people coming and going, we felt restricted to our room, however not really a problem as we were out all day and most of the night enjoying austin. James failed to provide a house key during our stay as he advised people are always home, the room we had did have a lock from the inside of the room however not from the outside ( so there was no way to lock your gear away from others in the house). Overall James' house served its purpose for our short stay. "
7980816,46246999,2015-09-08,40033474,Ben,"Excellent apartment with enough space for 4.  Nice bathroom, although the shower was confusing, and general good vibes.  A little far from downtown, but close to UT eateries and establishments.  Decent value, and I would definitely stay again!"
7980816,47929543,2015-09-21,2812098,Kathleen,"The apartment was just as shown except that it also included a lovely, tree-lined street, pleasant walking neighborhood, easy distance to very good food, shopping, etc. The apartment is completely separate from the house so no noise and we didn't worry that we'd bother the family. Cozy, freshly built, everything we needed.

Leslie was great at communicating so we knew just what to expect and felt really comfortable even though we had to arrive late. She went out of her way to check on us in case we needed anything. We'll definitely stay there again"
7980816,49710495,2015-10-05,44865820,Sam,"If you are coming to Austin, be sure to stay with Leslie. This is a very cozy space that feels like a miniature home - very welcoming. The design is great, IT HAS A SHOWER THAT LITERALLY RAINS ON YOU, and it's situated in a private area in a quiet neighborhood. 

More than that, Leslie is fantastic. She was extremely accommodating - we unfortunately needed to check in early, and she was very flexible. (YMMV depending on availability, etc, but just goes to show that she goes above and beyond).

Overall, 10/10. Fantastic value, extremely kind host, and perfect location. Thank you so much, Leslie!"
7980816,50648168,2015-10-13,23599472,Elizabeth,"Quiet neighborhood street, no trouble parking, close to downtown. Beds were super comfortable and rainfall shower is cool. Would definitely recommend this place! "
7980816,51346257,2015-10-19,45397001,Alison,"Quiet neighborhood with easy access to major expressways.  The apartment was roomy for two, with high quality bedding, coffee maker, microwave and TV.  Very comfortable and super clean.  Much, much nicer than a hotel room at the same price.  I highly recommend this for a couple or small family that wants a peaceful and convenient place to stay in central Austin."
7980816,51808944,2015-10-24,10244689,Lin,"This was a blissful stay in a very quiet, private, comfortable location.  I loved having the place to myself and never heard a peep from anywhere.  The leafy views from the windows just added to the transquility. I would definitely stay again, and plan to!"
7980816,52098322,2015-10-26,8183978,Nicolas,"We went to Austin for the Formula 1 Grand Prix.  Leslie's place is perfect for a short stay in Austin.  The unit on top the garage is very comfortable, cozy and quiet. The location of the place is perfect and very close to the night action.

Leslie is a great host. Stay with her if you're going to Austin.

3158012,22318158,2014-11-03,7671128,Vanja,"The apartment was comfortable, well decorated, same like on pictures, with all the amenities that we needed, except a hair dryer. In the neighborhood you have everything you need. What we liked was a Bakers Street Pub & Grill where they have tasty food and the Broken Spoke where you can have fun listening live country music. Cleanliness of the apartment was not so extraordinary, but the big plus is that it has a balcony. It's great that bus stop is just 2 minutes by foot from the apartment, and with a bus line number 3 you have only twenty minutes to Downtown."
3158012,28779719,2015-03-30,25230688,Jeremy,"Robin was a wonderful host who worked well with me on timing and anything I needed. The place was colorful, vibrant and welcoming. Extremely comfortable bed, nice bathroom and kitchen. Very small, slightly uncomfortable old couch in living room. Small, old, blurry television. Kitchen appliances were very nice, small refrigerator. There were some minor malfunctions of the place but they were easily managed. The neighbors were very friendly and nice. Robin did a great job of making me feel welcome and at the same time giving me my own space. Overall a great place to stay in austin. The location was quite easy to get around to anything in austin."

3158012,49892803,2015-10-07,36391671,Chris,Robin's communication was great. She answered in a timely manner for both booking and accommodations. Highly recommend. 
3158012,51284597,2015-10-19,41655590,Murray,"Really nice, clean, quiet place. Rather small but had a balcony and is hair perfect for one person. Couldn't be happier with my experience. Robyn kept in touch and was always very (website hidden) was rather lame and blurry but who cares when Austin itself is such a great place. I'll be coming back to Austin and I'll be looking to stay here again. I'd really highly recommend it. Thanks for everything!"
5759626,28691817,2015-03-28,11546020,Marit,"First of all I have to mention, that Aakash is a very kind host and he tried to make our stay as good as he could within his possibilities. 
The room itself is average, but you cant expect hotel standards and pay this low price. Aakash let us use his kitchen and even gave us eggs and toast, but you need to know that there are no chairs and tables to eat. 
His cat Jenny is cute and very well behaved, she is trained not to come to your room.
You can use the pool and the gym at the appartment area, but at the moment there is no extra keys for guests.
If you are looking for a budget place to sleep with a friendly host, this is your choice!

5759626,32948400,2015-05-23,15264755,Ben And Jess,"Aakash was a great host, he communicated well leading up to and during my stay and was pleasant to talk to while I stayed there. I was able to get in and out fine, he gave me my own key fir the door."
7787495,44224878,2015-08-24,41010094,Anna,"Working with Jeanene was great! She was helpful, responsive, timely and extremely accommodating.  She worked with our groups schedule and answered all of our questions almost immediately. She continued to be available during our stay for a quick response to help us set up the wifi. Jeanene ensured the house was stocked with breakfast goods and that everyone in our party had a place to sleep.  The house is amazing! It looked just like the pictures and was in a perfect location!!! The pool was great and served for the perfect afternoon for our group. I was so happy to work with Jeanene and would recommend her to anyone! "
7787495,46243768,2015-09-08,41009318,Erin,"We so so loved this place :)  it was such a relaxing visit!  Our big yearly family gathering was well provided for.  There was so much space for everyone.  We greatly enjoyed the game room and the pool.   I would have to say we fell in love with the master bathroom as well...  
Thank yiu Jeanene for your amazing generosity and kindness.     Much Love,  Erin"
7787495,47992406,2015-09-22,4323316,David,"Jeanene's house was the perfect place for my bachelor party.  We had 10 guys and there were enough beds/couches for each of us, plus a great common area for us to hang out.  The location is a quick Uber/Lyft from downtown.  Everything felt high quality and professional.  Jeanene was easy to get in touch with beforehand and if we had questions during the stay.  Would highly recommend this house for anyone with a large group who wants to stay near downtown Austin."
7787495,49625669,2015-10-05,41901774,Kathy,House was well provisioned and the bed setup was great.
7787495,50635974,2015-10-13,13607899,James,"Eleven of us stayed in Jeanene's house for Austin City Limits, and although it was a bit tight in terms of beds, we had a great time and it is a really good place to stay for the festival.

The kitchen was really well stocked with glasses and kitchenware with a huge fridge as well as plenty of towels for the bathrooms and pool.

The pool was fantastic with a nice outdoor space with lots of seating and a huge grill. Although not perfect for sleeping in, the games room was really good fun with its dart board and pool table as a late night location where we wouldn't disturb the neighbours.

Aside from a listing mistake about how many bedrooms the house had, Jeanene was a good communicator and made sure everything worked out.

I'd definitely recommend this place - thanks!"
7787495,51283842,2015-10-19,34772353,Kathryn,"This house was perfect! The location was great and it was very clean. The backyard is beautiful! We all said we wished we could have stayed longer to have more time there. There are 6 actual beds, but 4 of them are big enough for 2 people & there is a pull out couch - we fit 8 people very comfortably. Would definitely recommend this house and if I ever need a place to stay in Austin I would go back!!! Thanks :) "
7787495,52216424,2015-10-27,41379392,Andrew,"It was a pleasure working with Jeanene, she was very nice, communicative and helpful with suggestions.  This house had everything we wanted for our long weekend.  Plenty of tvs with good cable, air control, easy to get to, lots of room, clean, places to sleep for a party of 10+, nice pool, dart board, pool table and a grill.  Her and her team also offered a service to stock the house with food and beer for an additional cost which made it as easy  to just show up and be ready for the weekend.  

I definitely recommend this house and would go back if I had the opportunity.  "
907229,3510317,2013-02-10,3087295,Samantha,"Jennifer’s house is wonderful and the red room is a cozy little haven with a lush, creative vibe. Jen and Tris made us feel right at home with comfortable amenities and delicious breakfasts. Even when my back was being a pain and I needed a different mattress to sleep on, Jen took it in her stride and solved the problem for us (thank you so much for that, lovely). Jennifer’s extraordinary work is displayed throughout the common areas and creates a delightful atmosphere to hang out in and get creative. Both Jen and Tris had great recommendations for things to do, see, eat and drink which made our stay in Austin truly enjoyable. Guys, thank you for making us feel so at home with your furry, scaled and feathered family! Big hugs to all of you. Can’t wait to catch up in May!"
907229,3572063,2013-02-18,4908577,Alicia,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at Jennifer's amazing place! ""Lavish"" is definitely a great word to describe the room. After spending two nights there, I have officially decided to redecorate my apartment! Every detail is well thought out, and all her beautiful masks and costumes are on display in the common room.

And speaking of costumes...not only was I able to rent a room from Jennifer, but she had a gorgeous dress that she let me rent for the Ren Fair that I was going to that weekend. Talk about full-service!

She also has a very interesting menagerie of animals to enjoy. Whether it be bird, reptile, or mammal...she has you covered! We also got to hear all the entertaining stories attached to each animal while enjoy a delicious breakfast (Jennifer makes an amazing breakfast taco!).

All in all, it was a wonderful stay and I would recommend this place to everyone!"
907229,3595021,2013-02-20,823850,James,"Keep Austin Weird. That is their city slogan, and if you are looking for a place to stay that is consistent with that theme, Jennifer's place is great.

It is extremely comfortable, she was a great host, and made it really easy for us to enjoy the space, even though we were not there long. The bedroom and bathroom are exquisitely put together, very artistically.

Her offers of coffee and breakfast were appreciated!

Great value, great artistry in the development of the space. If you are looking for a sanitized, bland experience then I've heard Dallas in nice."
907229,3640338,2013-02-26,5061715,Christina,"Jennifer and Tristram were a pleasure to stay with. The room is absolutely gorgeous and looks exactly as it does it the photograph. Their home is comfortable and they were more than accommodating. Their animals are all adorable, I absolutely fell in love with Peter Porker the mini pig. I will definitely stay with them again the next time I'm in Austin!"
907229,3663250,2013-03-01,4944538,Mike,"What an incredible place and host, especially to relax and celebrate one of those ""milestone"" birthdays! Jennifer was great. we were running late and that wasn't a problem for her (which we appreciated greatly). She allowed us use of the dining table and provided china, flatware and leaded crystal for the dinner we'd brought. There was a pitcher of water on the nightstand. Jennifer had coffee for us in the morning. THENNNN ... a knock at the door saw homemade breakfast tacos delivered for breakfast in bed! The ""Red Room"" is as beautiful as the pix ... spacious, elegant and richly appointed ... and the bathroom is out of a design magazine. We felt incredibly pampered. To say we enjoyed our stay is an understatement. This is a great little sanctuary in what can be an otherwise hectic city. Jennifer's menagerie is an added bonus (if you like pets and animals), as was chatting with her about all things artistic ... and Austin."
907229,3726285,2013-03-08,2799229,David,"Jennifer and Tristram were very accommodating and picked me up for the airport when I arrived late which was definitely above and beyond. I was able to hitch a ride into town as well. I was not that familiar with Austin before arriving and it 3was definitely a bit farther out of downtown then I wanted and i would recommend definitely renting a car if you're staying in that area. The only con was that for someone who is not a huge animal person but not either apposed to them the house and room definitely had a bit too much of a dog smell. But that does not bother all people, I was sensitive to it. But they were great and welcoming.  The bathroom is nicely done and very functional hot water n'all. "
907229,3796769,2013-03-16,339789,Anna-Zoe,"I am in love! 
With the room, with Jennifer, with the Babyduck, with the pig,
Jennifer and her boyfriend made us feel like home. Even better. She took care of everything, she even drove us to the SXSW Festival. I loved sitting and chatting on the stairs of the garden, listening to the birds singing, singing a song for her. 
The house is very special and full of details. The room is very cozy and beautiful, you want to stand for hours under the shower (what I of course not did, for eviromental reasons ;)). 
There is a bus, that brings you downtown just some blocks away. The neighbourhood is quiet and very Texas like. 
The house is an artpiece itself. 
In the ""living room"" there is a stage, where events could happen. As well as a photoshoot this place would be very unique. Just contact Jennifer, if you are getting inspired by the house as I did. 
Jennifer has many interesting  friends, so if you want to hang out with the cool Austin crowd, need a massage or a private Yoga lesson, Jennifer might share some contacts with you. 
If you don´t like animals that are supercute and if you don´t like a host, who is the best host I ever met in my whole Airbnb career, then this is not the place for you. 
If you want to experience the whole Airbnb experience, then I am quite sure Jennifer will welcome you with open arms. 

After that stay I am calling Jennifer a friend. 
Thank you for everything. 
Come and visit me in Berlin. I will make you as happy as you did it for my friend and me.

907229,3824134,2013-03-18,5320220,Lenny,A very nice couple with a great spirit... I recommend this place. Especially if you like Art environment and if you love animals.  
907229,3882434,2013-03-24,5453704,Brandon,"I had a good time staying with Jennifer.  Got to see the menagerie of animals that live with her, and we went out a couple of times to hang out in Austin.  The room was comfortable, and private, had everything I needed for my stay.  Very unique room, house, and person.

"
907229,3930296,2013-03-28,1206634,Maribel (Belle),Thank you Jennifer for being such a good host and helping us with directions and contacts. It was so nice to talk with you and hear your creative ideas for your editorial piece. I'm sure next time we are in Austin we'll be in touch. 
907229,4008914,2013-04-02,828390,Paco,"Jennifer created an amazing experience. When I arrived from the airport, candles were all lit, there was water in a crystal carafe beside the bed, and all the wifi that I needed :)  The master bed/bath is exquisite, all in rich tones of deep red, gold, black -- filled with soothing creature comforts.

Their location is amazing, a must-stay if you love animals.. a friendly old dog who quickly became a close pal, a tiny little pet pig, a tortoise out back, along with a very large iguana, some chickens, some ducks, some peacocks... 

One warning: if you post pictures of your stay, your friends will probably grow jealous. Especially of the wonderful animals. I got several remarks along those lines -- one friend, who works remotely and travels a lot, even considered moving there for a few months.

I had a little spare time on one of the mornings, so I used the French press in the kitchen to brew a fine dark roast, then sprawled on their guest couch (which ""seats"" approx a dozen adults in comfort) with my laptop to write another chapter for an upcoming book. It was ideal :)"
907229,4046638,2013-04-05,4129250,Alyssa,"Very unique and pleasant stay! I would definitely would return and recommend, especially if you like animals! "
907229,4089009,2013-04-08,5742734,Greg,Hostess very friendly and attentive. Made a tasty breakfast to our order. I recommend it. I would stay there again. I enjoyed her animals. 
907229,4111988,2013-04-10,1969530,Jurate,"Lovely bedroom and shower.We loved the attention to detail and the animals. The mini pig was awesome. One small negative though-being Europeans, we did  not realise that 10 mins to Downtown meant driving, not walking :). It was not a problem, the bus 20 goes straight downtown! Jennifer and her boyfriend were very helpful and accomodating, and we felt welcomed. "
907229,4164629,2013-04-15,5506273,Misti,"Jennifer was a wonderful host and so welcoming from the moment we arrived.  Offering everything from coffee, to water or even breakfast she for sure went out of her way!  We were able to keep to the schedule we needed and come and go as we pleased.  The bedroom and bathroom were so nice!  We also enjoyed being able to choose from several DVD's to watch when we wanted to just wind down and rest.  Would recommend staying here for anyone looking to visit the Austin area!  Thanks, Jennifer :)  "
907229,4200489,2013-04-17,5900546,Aaron,"The high rating is based on my interactions with Jennifer, because I wasn't able to stay there due to a family engagement that came up last minute. Jennifer was very responsive via email and text and even helped me figure out how to adjust my reservation (ie. canceling the second night). Based on my correspondence with Jennifer, I am confident that she is a very attentive host to her guests."
907229,4313817,2013-04-27,5657929,Dave,"Thanks so much to Jen for your wonderful hospitality. You really helped me out & I also enjoyed meeting all the critters. It was a shame I had to cut this trip short, though I'd happily return when next in Austin."
907229,4340084,2013-04-29,3978205,Aparna,"Jennifer is great. And the room is lovely and well curated. However if you are not used to farm animals then just think twice because - no bearing on the host - you may get allergies! As was the case with us - the hubby was laid up and self medicating. But other than that, everything was as described. Dvds to watch, and a great rate. Also it was close enough to Soco, etc. "
907229,4464471,2013-05-06,126994,Daniel,"In brief: my experience lodging with Jennifer is just what I expect from the Airbnb community: prompt, hospitable, pristine accommodations. Her response time is punctual, and an immaculate bedroom with private, en suite bathroom is just the beginning.

From the moment I contacted Jennifer to the end of my stay, the experience left nothing to be desired. I felt at home in the room with fresh linens, and decor that clearly demonstrates Jennifer's attention to detail — note the beautifully crafted, river rock shower floor.

My decision to stay with Jennifer had a lot to do with her extended family. For animal lovers, her home will quickly become your destination. I enjoyed cradling Cordelia (hen), sharing my lap with Princess Buttercup (Nigerian dwarf goat), and playing with Peter Porker (mini piggy).

Jennifer and Tris are exceptional hosts; they struck a balance between inviting me along with them while being mindful of my schedule. A quick jaunt around town and brunch with Peter Porker and Princess Buttercup in tow, made for an especially wonderful day.

I'll consider Jennifer my go-to host for Austin. However, in truth, her success and popularity as a host will keep her calendar full and availability limited. Thank you Jennifer and Tris, for being wonderful hosts and sharing your eclectic extended family with me. Also, thanks for breakfast tacos, they were amazing, Tris. :)"
907229,4485502,2013-05-07,1520247,John,really enjoyed my stay.  jennifer was a friendly and accomodating host and the accommodations were awesome.
907229,4499810,2013-05-08,192936,Dan,"This was a great spot. I was only there for a very brief stay but she was incredibly accommodating about arrival/departure times, more than generous with offers to cook for me and overall very welcoming. Of course the main reason to stay here is to live the dream of having a farm filled with the cutest animals in the world, which absolutely did not disappoint! If you even remotely like cute animals, this place will be heaven to you."
907229,4541240,2013-05-11,6262449,Tim,"The hosts were very nice and accommodating, considering we arrived 2 hours earlier than expected.  The bedroom is well represented by the picture, the bed very comfortable and the bathroom small but well done.  Great shower!  However, the accommodations were still a disappointment for one really big reason.  The smell in their house is close to unbearable.  It's painful to be so blunt, but I think necessary.  When you walk in you are in a big open space.  It should be a living room, but it not used for that.  But what greets you is the pungent smell of animal urine.  They were open about having a small pig and a dog.  But there are more animals than than (including an adorable mini goat) that live IN the house.  And it smells like it.  The bedroom's smell is much less strong, but definitely there.  I couldn't sleep because my nose was burning from the ammonia smell.  Sorry guys, but the smell of your pets makes the place unfit for strangers to stay and feel comfortable."
907229,4559615,2013-05-12,6324288,Janelle,"Jennifer and her boyfriend were so fantastic! Staying in the VERY lavish bedroom was definitely the highlight of my stay in Austin. She let me try on some of her costumes and has the sweetest dog/goat/pig (but they're not allowed into the bedroom). My experience here was so completely different from any other room-renting experience. Thanks, guys! Hope to stay here again someday."
907229,4710591,2013-05-21,988,Sarah,"Jennifer's place is great. The whole house has a fun, artistic vibe and the master bedroom is clean and comfortable. We also loved all the animals.  "
907229,4773677,2013-05-25,6005585,Angus,"We had a really great stay with Jennifer, the house and our room in particular was very cool. We loved the variety of pets Jennifer has and it was really exciting to play with them all. Jennifer was a great host and was helpful with information about Austin and places to eat, she even made us breakfast and took us out for food. Overall our stay was great. "

The animals were cute & fun. Loved the baby goat & ducks. Even the chickens were tame. Watch out for the biting little pig
Our only complaint was the kitchen was not clean enough to cook in & flies in the backyard"
907229,4946060,2013-06-03,839852,Alison,"The perfect place for animal lovers! We had a great stay with Jennifer, and fell in love with her dog Rainbow and sweet goat Princess Buttercup. The bedroom & bathroom were immaculate, and ""lavish"" is definitely the word for the decor. A very fun place to stay!"
907229,5005644,2013-06-07,2576713,Amelia,I had such a great time at Jennifers place! She has a wonderful eye for design and the house reflects that. The guest room is beautiful. It was such a fun vibe here and the animals are all lovely. Jen and Tris went above and beyond  to make my stay in Austin amazing!
907229,5172557,2013-06-16,405557,Deborah,"Hi All:
I found Jennifer after another host had to unexpectedly  drop my reservation. I contacted Jennifer with less than a 24 hour notice and she was gracious enough to rescue me.  She even allowed my motorcycle.
The bed was delicious and comfy.
The Kitchen was clean and beautiful.
The home smelled great. 
The private bath was like going to a high class spa.  I loved the rock shower and it made my tired feet feel massaged.
Home is eye candy, I felt like I was in a museum. I sat in the morning and just admired all the art. Some she did, and some were friends pieces.  I even tried on some garb (costumes)/and head pieces that Jennifer made.  I Purchase a beautiful comb.
The pets: Peter (little pig), Rainbow (rescue dog), Princess buttercup (mini goat), Kona (rescue lizard), Jennifer has a place in my heart for her help to animals in distress, Others Turtle, ducks, chickens, and a beautiful pheasant. Most are confined to the aviary. All are outside, except Rainbow can come and go.
I have other events coming: Texas Ren Fest, Sherwood forest, and because I know Jennifer I want to always stay with her. 
She loves the Airbnb concept and is always making improvement and adding new rooms. She wants to make you happy, and she will. 
Yours Truly 
Deborah

907229,5820123,2013-07-17,6989960,Angeline,"Jennifer is a sweetheart and extremely talented. Her artwork is amazing, and her home a living piece. The costume/stage room was a pleasant surprise. I also loved her little mini zoo in the back yard, and fell in love with the baby goats. The room was clean as was the bathroom, and of course, designed very neat. I felt like I was in the elephant of Moulin Rouge. 

"
907229,5878554,2013-07-20,7548564,Doug And Debi,"Enjoyed our stay with Jennifer and her animals. The room is funky, but also clean and quiet. Nice view out to the backyard. Jennifer makes you fell at home.

Parking is on the street, but the neighborhood doesn't get that much traffic. Good location just North of downtown.

If you want a normal B&B, I'd go elsewhere. If you'd like an experience, with magical decor and exotic animals, this is the place. Feed the tortoise (get food from Jennifer), talk with the goats, play with the iguana, then drift off to sleep in the uniquely appointed bedroom."
907229,6010855,2013-07-26,5934291,Robert,"Jennifer's place was awesome.  The room and private bathroom are really comfortable and neat.  She was a wonderful host and her animals, which were all outdoors except the dog, were really cool.  I enjoyed my stay."
907229,6187762,2013-08-02,2007107,Angelo,Miss Ayers assisted my mother and I comfortably in her wonderfully stylish home. It was quiet and the bathroom and bedroom were both made for comfort and style. They are currently renovating this place to be even more awesome and have an eclectic set of backyard animals. The stay was one that I would recommend any one trying in the Austin area.
907229,6257458,2013-08-05,2715715,Trevor,"Loved this place! The hosts communicated with me ahead of time to make sure I had all the info I needed to get there. They greeted me, gave me a tour, and provided me with fresh water. I had plenty of privacy when I wanted it as well as the option to hang out with them, talk, and get some guidance on where to go and what to do locally. The goats were adorable. The room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. The shower had great water pressure. The a/c was nice and cold. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I was only looking for an inexpensive place to crash while I explored Austin for the first time and this was beyond anything I could have hoped for. Wonderful people, peaceful vibe, great energy in the home, convenient location, comfortable accommodations. Perfect. "
907229,6422763,2013-08-12,6897755,Emma,"Amazing experience! 

My friend and I had been road tripping through and just stopped over in Austin for a couple of nights.  Jennifer was more than accommodating, she made sure that when we came into town we would be able to get in the house (we came relatively late, and she was out) and had ice water waiting for us in our beautiful room! A nice surprise after a long, hot day of travel.  The room and bathroom are gorgeous and unique, we felt like royalty.  A perfect compliment to an awesome city! My only regret is that I didn't have a longer period of time to spend there :)"
907229,6576905,2013-08-17,7578367,Philip,"Absolutely beautiful room. It is even better than on the pictures. Highly recommended! Jennifer has great restaurant recommendations. It requires a little bit of driving to get to the hot spots in Austin, but it is not too bad. She also has an amazing collection of all sorts of different inside and outside ""critters"" (this is what she calls them)."
907229,6840898,2013-08-26,3415988,Layne,"If you're looking for a great place to stay a few minutes outside of downtown Austin, STOP LOOKING - YOU'VE FOUND IT!

I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Jennifer and Tris's incredible hospitality! Even though I was a last-minute guest they welcomed me in and took care of me like family.

The room was lavishly comfortable and clean - right down to the plush bathrobe and towels. And these hosts are the REAL DEAL Austin - maybe they'll let you walk one of their goats on a leash!

Thank you both so much for a wonderful time. I really felt lucky to hang out with you during my first time in Austin."
907229,6992282,2013-09-02,7861432,Peter,"Our trip would not have been nearly as magical, relaxed, and lavish without choosing to stay at Jennifer's beautiful home.  I recommend this place to everyone, but especially those with an appreciation for aesthetics.  The room was very clean and inspiring to stay in.  There were so many extra touches that made every day a delight.  We will definitely return to watch as the rest of your decorative dreams unfold.  I feel lucky to have met the whole menagerie!  Thank you!"
907229,7042518,2013-09-04,2578971,Yuhao,Great experience staying here over Labor Day weekend.  Everything was great from the critters in the backyard to the decor to the Netflix.  We were looking for a unique place to stay and that's exactly what we got.  Extra thanks for getting our bag to us when we accidentally left it.
907229,7186342,2013-09-09,8627402,Sasha,I have a great time with my boyfriend last time. Thank you so much. 
907229,7289954,2013-09-14,996682,Ráchel,What a stunning room and incredibly welcoming home! Jennifer is a lovely host and I'm recommending her room to all friends & family visiting Austin. A special treat indeed! 
907229,7318758,2013-09-15,4389500,Toni,"I enjoyed staying at Jennifer house. It was a very nice, she was very helpful in telling us a few places to go while we were there. I loved the  room very much. Would for sure stay again. Also congrats on your wedding day as well."
907229,7497896,2013-09-22,8868626,Caitlin,"Jennifer's house was perfectly accommodating for our short stay in Austin. We felt badly that we couldn't spend more time chatting with her as we practically ran out the door after dropping our stuff off to make it to a wedding shower in time and then had to leave early the following morning. The bed was super comfortable. She provided lots of DVDs to watch, although we didn't take advantage of them. The shower floor is awesome -- made from stones that feel so good on your feet. She even left us a carafe of ice water by the bed. I have zero complaints. Plus, if you like animals, you get to meet her charming array of critters -- a couple of goats, a piglet, and pups. "
907229,7854878,2013-10-06,8673384,Steve,"Booked for Friday evening before Austin City Limits (ACL) music festival, and couldn't have found a better place so close to downtown.  The room was lavish and beautiful.  The bed was comfortable, and the shower and bathroom were luxurious and relaxing to be in.  The room had free wi-fi and a collection of DVDs to watch if we wanted to.

In the back yard, they have a couple of exotic pets, including an enormous turtle and a friendly miniature pig.  They were adding some great improvements, like an organic pool, some shade trees, and gardens.

The hosts were very friendly, and I even got to feed the turtle, which was really cool.  I will definitely consider staying here again next time I need a place to stay in Austin."
907229,7954945,2013-10-09,1820983,Georgie,The room was exquisite. Jennifer was courteous as was her husband. We wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this room to anyone looking for a romantic getaway while in Austin.  
907229,8109738,2013-10-16,6781298,Charles,"I rented this room for a pair of wedding guests with a young child. Jennifer went out of her way to ensure that the space was ready for them (in terms of necessary childproofing), and they reported that they loved their stay."
907229,8155979,2013-10-18,7190091,Ellis,"Jennifers place is perfect! It's beautifully decorated and makes your stay feel luxurious! Everything you would need was there, including books and dvds, the bathroom was also amazing. I used this room for a shoot and Jennifer was more than amazing with welcoming my things and making sure we were okay. Her home is amazing and she's very inviting, making her place a comfortable stay. Though I did not stay the night, the bed was amaaaaaazing! i just wanted to sink into it. There's also a bunch of friendly furry friends there and this was the most fun I've ever had staying somewhere. Don't pass this place up, Jennifer and her husband are very considerate and the room will NOT let you down! I'll definitely be back!"
907229,8273082,2013-10-22,9230874,John,"Absolutely loved my stay here! Jennifer and Tris were wonderful hosts. They were extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating. There house is so full of color and the guest room is beautiful and SO comfortable! The critters are all very friendly, fun and made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable.

I was also looking for employment while i was on my stay, and Jen and Tris were so cool and helpful. They gave advice, pointed me in the right direction, and helped me narrow down my search. They also gave a lot of great advice as to what places to check out, and where to look for places to live.

In summation, this was the best case scenario for my stay and travels in Austin! Highly recommend these 2 for anybody! Thanks again Jenn & Tris, and best wishes.  Cheers!
"
907229,8416600,2013-10-29,7534831,Malcolm,"Jennifer's place was awesome and quite unique. the bedroom/bathroom is fit for a king/queen. the tv in the room is an awesome added bonus as is the cool mini zoo she has in the backyard. close to a bus route and a fairly cheap cab ride from downtown Austin, this place is great if you're looking for a spot a little removed from the city center. would gladly stay again if/when i return to Austin."
907229,8996896,2013-12-01,7364056,Michael,"I stayed with Jen, Tris, and her pets for a few weeks and had a great time in a friendly atmosphere. The room was beautiful and clean, and had everything I needed. If you don't have a car, you can get downtown or elsewhere via multiple close bus routes. I would certainly recommend this to friends or stay again!"
907229,9040455,2013-12-02,2790521,Daley,This room is extremely gorgeous as is the rest of the home. I LOVE the animals. I can say I woke up for the first time in my life to the sound of ducks and goats. Very pleasant. I am a huge animal lover so that was my favorite part. The dogs were very friendly as were the goats and the pig. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the romantic and dark decor of the red room. Will definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin.  
907229,9528559,2014-01-01,8304662,Renee,Our stay with Jennifer was awesome. Her home is very inspirational and it was really nice getting to meet all her furry friends.  Jennifer was very easy to understand and very knowledgeable about Austin.  I would recommend staying with Jennifer when you come visit Austin.
907229,9871601,2014-01-15,10337661,Anthony,"Jennifer was awesome! Very unique and one of the most memorable stays I've experienced, everything from the theme of our room to the backyard pets (loved it!) I would definitely come stay here again. Thank you so much! =)"
907229,9992589,2014-01-23,11306129,Dan,"Amazing people, location, and board! It's hard to leave such a lovely place and people.. I hope everyone can experience the magic of this bed and breakfast."
907229,10142591,2014-02-02,11713923,Larry,"Where do I start!!!! This visit was absolutely AMAZING!!! This was my first time being in a city and not staying at a hotel.  I will never stay in a hotel again when I am in Austin.  The room was amazing. The hosts were fantastic!  If you going to be in Austin, TX make sure you stay here. A quick drive to downtown.  There were eating and shopping places about 5 minutes away.  Trust me....this is coming from a critical person. The only complaint I have is I hated to leave this room with a gorgeous bathroom.  The hosts will always be contacts going forward. They are more than landlords. They are great people with a wonderful room!"
907229,10189432,2014-02-04,10128998,Donny,"Wow!
Just can't say enough cool things about these great hosts!  Truly amazing!  Everything that has been written by other guests is accurate and I'd like to add by saying quite simply, if there were more people on the works like Jenn & Tris, well, the world would be an even more magical and tranquil place!  Absolutely the best home I've ever stayed in! Do not hesitate!  In fact, I almost don't want to share! (Selfish secret) but I must.  Everything from the truly amazing rooms to the central location and ease if access to the lovely company, was beyond imagination!  
I'll be back, if anything, just for my soul!"
907229,10240255,2014-02-08,11914052,Alice,Great place - loved the creative flair. Unique and out of the ordinary.   A great way to get introduced to Austin. We loved the local lunch places recommended. Made us feel right at home as well as inspired by the artistry around the house.  Felt like staying in a theater set! Private bathroom is classy too - good water temperature and pressure. Only wish we had another day to enjoy this unique place. 
907229,10401808,2014-02-17,11939609,Cody,Our stay with Jennifer was fantastic. She was a very gracious and accommodating host. She made our stay very comfortable. The room is amazing. Even better in person than the photos look. She was knowledgable about local spots for any occasion. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for some cool down to earth hosts with a great romantic room. The lil animals out back were super cute also!!! Overall great time. Thanks so much!
907229,10573822,2014-02-25,11899517,Andrew,"SUPER friendly household, staying here was like a little Eden. All sorts of animals, all friendly and adorable. Staying here is like sleeping in a work of art! If you're looking for a house with some real Austin flare, this house is the place to be!"
907229,10935677,2014-03-14,9904838,Hans Gerhard,"I booked this room because it looked fantastic, how great isn't it to experience it's all true… The room was like a film set, with a very comfy bed:-) Jennifer and Tris were great hosts, very friendly and helpful. And meeting Peter Pork was of course a highlight. I hope to go back to Austin someday and will definitely book this room again!"
907229,10986277,2014-03-16,4721036,Katelyn,Jennifer's place is really something special! It's beautifully and meticulously decorated and has a really fun vibe. We had a great stay during SXSW. Jennifer had all the best suggestions (Paco's Tacos and the pesto pasta at Austin Java) and she was even so kind enough to drop us off downtown so I could get to my gig on time. I would love to come back to Austin and stay here again. 
907229,11336001,2014-03-30,13244859,Cody,"Couldn't ask for more friendly and helpful hosts. We really enjoyed meeting all their unique animals, and they gave us a lot of great ideas about where to eat close by. Unfortunately, their A/C was out when we were there. Seems unfair to judge the place given this irregularity, since this can make any small room feel stuffy, but it did also bring out an odor. However, once we opened the window in our room, the situation improved drastically, and we were able to breathe easy and get a good night's sleep on a very nice and comfortable bed! "
907229,11731052,2014-04-13,3711357,Charles,"Jennifer's place was great!  Very eccentric in terms of the interior design, precisely what many have come to love about the Austin culture.  In addition to the convenient location, and friendly hosts, there's a tight-knit family of cute critters that kept us entertained.  Especially the dog, Rainbow.

I had a great stay and would love to return soon!"
907229,11979936,2014-04-20,12025810,Tony,"This place is like another world! Such a cool, eclectic home and definitely an experience very different from your usual hotel stay. Jennifer was very sweet and fully respected our space and privacy, but was always available if we needed her.

The room was rich and lovely, and I'd absolutely recommend staying here. Thank you Jennifer!"
907229,12376788,2014-04-30,10034339,Jamie,We had a wonderful  time with Jennifer! She has an amazing home! She gave us some great advice as far as neighborhoods to look at moving to. She has some adorable animals. What a great week! 
907229,12628189,2014-05-06,12679061,Melinda,"Jennifer was a great host and the room was as lavish as described. The room & bath was very clean, the bed was comfy and luxurious pillows. She was very accommodating & friendly, gave me an extra futon & a towel for my friend to use, and even gave us coffee with cinnamon.  The animals are incredibly adorable tho I accidentally let the pig in the house."
907229,12735683,2014-05-09,3739005,Amber & Dan,"We really enjoyed our stay with Jennifer in Austin. She has a fabulous home and great taste. While we were out most of the time exploring the city, Jennifer was very nice and friendly when we had the chance to chat for a bit. Her entire family (all the animals are awesome!) were a pleasure to meet. Everything was very straightforward and accommodating. 

I highly recommend staying here. It's a great home in a great city!"
907229,12826235,2014-05-12,9272050,Julie And Casey,"Jennifer and Tris were fantastic hosts and the room was amazing! It was wonderful to stay with hosts that are so relaxed and generous. From the moment we arrived it felt more like we were staying with good friends we hadn't seen in a long time, and not simply renting a room for a few days. The home was kept very clean and the rooms were decorated meticulously. One morning when we had slept in and were getting ready we heard a knock on our door and it was Jennifer with fresh coffee for Casey and hot tea for me. Meeting Rainbow (the dog), Peter Porker (the pig), Westley and Princes Buttercup (the goats), along with a few other animal-family members was definitely a highlight of our trip to Austin. If we are ever back in Austin we love to stay with them again!"
907229,12986275,2014-05-16,501101,Steph Lynn,"Jennifer was so awesome to stay with!  We had a blast just having coffee and chatting with her in the morning (she has great stories!), and of course playing outside with her adorable goats and chickens and pig!  The coffee she made us was some of the best we had in Austin.  Fabulous host and place to stay, even for just one night.  Bed was comfy too :)"
907229,13095045,2014-05-19,14778951,Paul And Catherine,Jennifer is a fabulous hostess. Her room is beautiful and comfortable. All of the animals are terrific and it is nice to know that i was staying with another animal lover. The neighborhood is convenient to highways and to UT. I walked the 'hood every morning. We will be back.
907229,13164471,2014-05-20,14737809,Elena,"'Lavish' is definitely an appropriate descriptor for this room -- I'd add 'decadent,' 'awesome,' and 'this could only be better if the backyard animals came in to share it with us.' Scratch that last part, because it would get messy, but speaking of the animals, if you like critters, this is your spot. Rainbow the dog is such a sweetheart; just be sure to ask how he got his name, because Jennifer tells the best stories. (We stayed for coffee and ended up spending hours just talking.) In short, we had an awesome time, and I hope to come back at some point to see the new Balinese doors!"
907229,13218024,2014-05-22,3186826,Siegfried,"Our room was really great and we slept wonderfull. Also the bathroom is luxurious and all is very clean. 
Thank you for the hospitality."
907229,13311261,2014-05-25,10535686,Michael,"A truly luxurious bedroom and bathroom. We greatly enjoyed the shower with a pebble floor and the rocku player with access to HBO, Netflix and Hulu. The animals were delightful (goats, fowl, turtle, dog and pig). Although the pig is now full grown, not as cute as he used to be as a piglet (see Peter Porker photo). "
907229,13594829,2014-05-31,1018267,Adelle,"My experience with Jennifer epitomized what Airbnb is all about - feeling at home in someone else's home. 

I was checking out Airbnb's standards for hospitality, and Jennifer knocked them out of the park! 

Communication: My reservation was last minute, but Jennifer responded within 10 mins of me messaging her. Within an hour, she had cleaned the whole house and said ""come on over!"" 

Welcome: Upon arriving, Jennifer and her husband Tris warmly welcomed me and gave me my personal house key. 

Cleanliness: My room was stocked with fresh towels, soap, shampoo/conditioner, drinking water on the bed stand, and even a framed picture of the internet network and password. 

Jennifer introduced me to all her animals, and I immediately fell in love with her chicken - a full size hen who you could hold like a baby or lay in your lap. When you massage her wings, she purrs like a cat. Amazing. 

I sat at the dinner table talking with Tris and Jennifer, drinking awesome craft beer, and petting this chicken for hours. These two have the most interesting lives and backstories, so if you're looking to hang out with your host, I recommend staying here. They are delightful people to spend time with.

In the morning, Jennifer and I had some more great bonding time as we drank delicious coffee and played outside with goats, mini pigs, and ducks. All in all, it was an unusual and wonderful experience. 

Side tip: Jennifer offers extra services (make sure to compensate her!!) like airport pick-ups and anniversary planning. She told me an epic story about a guest proposing to his girlfriend at her house, so she put rose petals everywhere to make it a special occasion. She's very creative so take advantage! Also, if you're at all crafty, Jennifer is a professional costumer and head-dress designer, so if you want an artistic crash course she'd be a great teacher. Again, offer compensation because this is an important revenue stream to supplement her career as an artist. "
907229,13775249,2014-06-03,8677208,Kathleen,"My boyfriend and I stayed in Austin for about 3 days for a quick weekend trip (just for fun). It was my third trip to Austin and I've only stayed in hotels here before, so this was a fun change of pace! We were able to book this room on short notice. The pictures don't lie - this a luxurious, decadent, dreamy room! The hosts were extremely kind and generous and gave us plenty of space and didn't seem to mind as we came and went as we pleased. The private bathroom gave us a little extra space and that was nice. The animals were so sweet and it was a pleasure getting to meet them! We used public transit (buses) the first day of our trip as the house is conveniently located on two lines but ended up renting a car the second day for a little bit more freedom to explore the city. "
907229,13941111,2014-06-08,473682,Jenn,"Even though we stayed at Jennifer's place for one night, our stay was great. The bed so comfortable and slept like a baby. Quiet neighborhood and we would definitely stay there again.  "
907229,14108290,2014-06-11,3931792,Adele,"Jennifer was a great hostess, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant - she even drove us twice as we were having car problems. The room was clean and nice, and the grand variety of animals on her property a very charming plus (Peter the pig, the ducks, two goats, Connor the iguana, etc). The house is a bit far from the center, so you do need a car!"
907229,14170054,2014-06-13,3965012,Gina,The room and hosts were lovely. Close to 35 which lent to a quick trip both DT and up north.  Seeing Jennifer's costume designs in person is like an added art exhibit! Many an animal to pet.
907229,14724243,2014-06-24,17049865,Van,Excellent in every aspect.
907229,15297460,2014-07-06,17615365,Joshua,Jennifer is a great host professionally. The room is beautiful. You can't find a room like this anywhere in a hotel that is as artistic and lavish. Would stay again.
907229,16520290,2014-07-28,6112720,New,"The room was exquisite, very clean, and very comfortable. Our hosts were extremely gracious and bent over backwards to accommodate us, while also giving us great tips and the space to enjoy Austin. We had a lovely time staying here and would do so again in a heartbeat. The animals are clean and well cared for. They are unobtrusive, being confined to the backyard, and also adorable. Staying here was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. 
"
907229,16589015,2014-07-29,15578682,Brian,Great Experience. Would definitely recommend.
907229,16695209,2014-07-31,1793733,Tracy,Jennifer your place was lovely. Thank you for sharing your home for one night... I still think of your sweet pets!
907229,18375231,2014-08-25,20163051,Stephanie,"We had so much fun staying here! Our hosts were great and very gracious, even when our schedules had us arriving later at night.  Jennifer and Tris were very nice and welcoming, even offering us coffee and breakfast tacos in the morning! Their place is soooo eclectic and has so many neat pieces of decor that we just loved looking at. There is a dragon bell that my husband fell in love with! 

The room is very comfortable and provides lots of privacy, along with a private bathroom. Right now the bathroom only has a short curtain for its door, but Jennifer's working on dragon-themed doors that will be used in the bathroom. 

We LOVED the animals!!!! Peter Porker the pig was so nice and constantly wagging his tail. Wesley and Princess Buttercup, the goats, were sooooo friendly and wanted to be petted like doggies. :) The turtle was great and he didn't hide in his shell like most turtles do! The ducks were hilarious, the iguanas were fun to watch, the pheasant was beautiful... We had lots of fun meeting the animals and ""chilling"" with them. :-) 

As some visitors may wonder, you do have to park on the street. But this is pretty typical of any airbnb place you will stay where you're staying in a private room. For the super low price that they offer, you get a comfortable room to stay in with animals & privacy. "
907229,18449202,2014-08-26,9233051,Sebastian,We enjoyed our stay in Austin. The room was very nice and unique. We especially enjoyed interacting with all of Jen's critters in her yard! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin. 
907229,18828728,2014-09-01,19753324,Aurimas,"My wife and I really enjoyed staying at Jennifer's place. Jennifer and her husband are very helpful and gracious hosts, they made our stay very pleasant. They suggested places to go and ways to get around town, cooked us breakfast and made us delicious coffee. 
The room itself was clean and private. The bed is extremely comfortable. This location is a little ways off downtown. Best ways to get there are taking a bus which is only $1 or taking a cab. Meeting all their animals and seeing Jennifer's art made the stay truly unique. My wife even ended up getting to do a mini photo shoot with a couple of Jennifer's headdresses! We would definitely recommend this stay to anyone else making a trip to Austin.  "
907229,19213611,2014-09-08,12788738,Dane,I had a wonderful and pleasant stay. Jennifer and Tris are fantastic people and are very welcoming.
907229,19650024,2014-09-15,13567707,Megan,"Jennifer made us feel very welcome in her home, we didn't stay long since we were out on the town most of the day/night, but she was very accommodating. Cute pets too!"
907229,19860929,2014-09-19,5380594,Laurie,Excellent space - very creative and clean.  Great hosts. I have already booked my next stay :)
907229,20042921,2014-09-22,20869297,Freddy,"This was my first time using airbnb, so Jennifer definitely set a high standard anytime I use this again. I was putting together a creative project while in town, and she was superb in assisting! The house is extremely comforting, and the room is lavishing as it is settling. If you're an animal lover, their indoor dog Rainbow is super friendly, and the outdoor animals are just as inviting. My friends were jealous that they got hotels! I highly recommend treating yourself to a stay here."
907229,20130505,2014-09-23,11396995,Sarah,Our stay was wonderful...very romantic!
907229,20368133,2014-09-28,21098006,Sandra,"Charming experience. The room is not only beautiful, but a magical space where sleep is exquisite!"
907229,20483650,2014-09-29,15354897,Amir,Great stay!  Loved it will come back and visit again. 
907229,20542809,2014-09-30,15354897,Amir,"Great time! House was quiet and peaceful. Loved the animals, goats and birds.  Very cool and unique experience.  "
907229,20726155,2014-10-04,3773630,Emily,"Great stay! Jennifer and Tris were so kind and accommodating as hosts, and their dog Rainbow was an instant favorite. The room itself was magical, and if you're looking for the full Austin experience, I would definitely recommend a stay here. Protip: a short drive takes you to the Sahara Lounge, and on Saturday night their West African house band is a guaranteed good time."
907229,20992369,2014-10-09,18065845,Johannah,"We had such a great time staying with Jennifer and Tris! The room is just as lovely and interesting as it looks in the pictures, and they went out of their way to make us comfortable. They generously offered to share their food with us when they were cooking and gave great suggestions for places to go in and near Austin. Hamilton Pool was beautiful! 
The animals are adorable and so much fun. Rainbow is a very friendly and mellow dog, and the menagerie outside is amazing, especially Peter the pig, the two goats, and the tortoise. If you love animals, this is the place for you!
We didn't bring a car, and we found it very easy to take the bus into downtown Austin. There's a stop a few blocks away, and the bus goes pretty much anywhere in town you'd want to be. 
We're missing our beautiful red room already and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a particularly Austiny place to stay. Thanks again! "
907229,21380255,2014-10-16,19809447,Anahi,"We loved every single aspect of staying at Jennifer's place.  The comfy room, the animals, rainbow the pup and being surrounded by her beautiful art. She also gave us great recommendations for places to scout for our photography.  We are going back to the area again within a week and sadly she is already booked but can't wait to go back ! Thank you Jennifer for all your kind attentions."
907229,21617741,2014-10-20,17645300,Ron,"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at Jennifer's eclectic home. She was a great host, along with her husband Tris, who made us breakfast on our last day. 

Jennifer's animals added an extra special touch to our stay. We especially loved the goats, and I was really intrigued by the turtle. It was primordial, and so incredibly large.

The home was in a quiet tree-lined neighborhood, and very convenient to downtown Austin. 

Jennifer is a really engaging host and quite a creative person.
I would highly recommend her home."
907229,21957732,2014-10-27,21426967,Christine,"Jennifer was super nice! We fell in love with her dog ""Rainbow"". The room was beautiful just like it is pictured.  It was very easy to get around Austin from this central location.  It was our first trip there so that was important.  Thank you Jennifer and Tris!!"
907229,22284872,2014-11-02,23166644,Christina Simone,"I don't even know where to start! 

Upon arriving, the house is vibrantly beautiful. As you go in, it just gets better. The art around the house is gorgeous, and Jennifer is so talented. Looking at the costumes she has made is very inspiring. Peter Porker, the tortoise, goats, chickens and rainbow were all so cute! 
The room was amazing! The bed is SO comfortable, and the smooth pebbles against your feet in the shower is very relaxing. 

Not only was the home/room itself amazing, but our hosts were so genuine and kind. Jennifer gave my boyfriend and I some tickets at to see the John Butler Trio at Stubbs. The show was great! In the morning, Jennifer made us some delicious coffee using her french press and offered to make us breakfast before checkout.

It was a great experience overall. Thank you Jennifer! You're awesome :)"
907229,22356401,2014-11-04,19801891,Kathleen,Jennifer made us very welcome and she was very helpful with booking and checking in. Jennifer has a beautiful house full of her art and design. The guest room is exactly as the listing pictures but even more amazing to experience. The bed is very comfortable and the shower/bathroom is total luxury with a hot powerful shower and plenty of towels. We didn't have enough time to spend exploring the area but downtown Austin was not too far and we found it easy to access and get to the convention centre for a shuttle to COTA. Jennifer was very generous and gracious and made us coffee and introduced me to her animals. I would highly recommend Jennifer's house and would love to stay again. 
907229,22969895,2014-11-18,22644079,Eden,"Jennifer's house is beautiful. I felt like a princess in my room! Seeing her work around the house was incredible as well, she has quite the taste. I loved meeting her dog, Rainbow, and the rest of the animals. It was overall an awesome stay. "
907229,23006366,2014-11-20,5380594,Laurie,This is my 2nd time to stay with Jenn and Tris.  They are exceptional hosts - even offering me dinner (which was yummy).  Comfy bed - amazing shower. I plan to be back in Feb.
907229,23199253,2014-11-24,20010824,Addison,"Jennifer's house is amazing and the room is very well appointed. I took some interior decorating tips from my stay. She was also a great host, and quick with communications. Sadly, it was pouring rain so we didn't get to play with the dwarf goats."
907229,23259602,2014-11-26,13547497,Alex,"Best airbnb experience thus far! Jennifer and her husband where so warm and welcoming and their home was very beautiful. They have plenty of cuties to hang out with and their dog is a darling. My room was so clean and decadent, which occasionally made it hard to get out. I am beyond pleased and would recommend to anyone.     "
907229,23267294,2014-11-27,4484599,Teddy,"Jennifer was a great host and talented artist. The space was superb and had such a ecletic feel, definitely a treasure among airbnb.

"
907229,23879934,2014-12-13,24499471,Michele,"I enjoyed my time, albeit short, in the beautiful red room. It was cozy and quiet--just what I needed!"
907229,24061246,2014-12-18,24304233,Steven,"This place is ridiculously awesome. Jennifer was a very welcoming host and had everything set up for us even despite showing up at around 3 in the morning. She made us feel very welcome and happily introduced us to all the pets (which we were more than happy to play with all day long!). She let us know what were the awesome places to check out around the city, but we got a little distracted by the goats. We definitely plan on returning to Austin some time in the future, and this would definitely be our choice place to stay!"
907229,24572520,2014-12-30,931508,Elina,"
We had a short but very pleasant stay with the talented Jennifer in her amazing wonderland house. She warmly welcomed us, the room was like to a scene from fairy tale - no doubt the most unique airbnb experience we had, that completed our Austin trip .She also offered us  Yammi breakfast tho it wasn't included in the ""package"".  Thank you Jennifer  - We will be back for sure!
"
907229,24631297,2014-12-31,9873861,Courtney,"Jennifer and her husband were very accommodating - as I arranged a stay with them very last minute, and arrived late in the night. The room is gorgeous, and the bed is very comfy. The shower is great too. They have a very artistic and beautiful home. Great folks. I recommend their pad. "
907229,25056903,2015-01-05,10215493,Jessica,"Jennifer and her husband Tris were incredibly easy-going, welcoming and friendly. The room was lovely and comfortable. We loved meeting the goats and pig. Thanks for helping to make my first visit to Austin so memorable!"
907229,25256887,2015-01-10,21177012,Amanda,"While browsing through listings before our trip we came across this one and stopped dead in our tracks. We HAD to stay here! We absolutely loved this room and wish we could have stayed longer! The room exceeded our expectations with all of the personal touches and meticulous details in the decoration. Jennifer, Tris, and Rainbow are great hosts and provided great suggestions for things to do around the city. "
907229,25476174,2015-01-17,15082386,Roger,"Jennifer was a super friendly, welcoming, and caring host. She gave us great tips on local insights. The bedroom and bathroom are even better than the pictures showed. We would definitely stay again."
907229,25562792,2015-01-19,25603555,Vicki,"Wonderful! We arrived fairly late with our WV-TX drive, but Jennifer and Tris were still up and welcomed us in with no problem. Very easy to communicate with. Room was GORGEOUS! And spotless. Bed was comfy. Meeting all of her animals was fantastic. This is the perfect place to stay in Austin. If we're ever in town again this is where we'll stay. Incredible deal for how awesome her place is! "
907229,25658140,2015-01-22,39040,Nathan,"My consort and I spent 3 nights in Jennifer & Tris's truly over the top suite while exploring Austin and taking in a day trip to Cross Plains, TX to nerd out over pulp fiction writer Robert E. Howard. We absolutely loved the womb-like room and pimped out bath, and had a blast playing 'goat soccer' with Westley. These two are doing really good, really crafty things with and on this property and deserve your support. Join the long line of satisfied travelers and treat yourself to the lavish life!"
907229,26029300,2015-02-01,26709203,M,"This was my first booking on airbnb and I was a little nervous about renting a room in someone's home, you know it just being awkward and all.  I was silly to worry.  I had some special scheduling needs and Jennifer was able to meet those needs with no issues.  The house was located in a quiet East Austin neighborhood and I had no concerns about parking my BMW in the street.  Jennifer met us at the door and made us feel like we old friends over for a visit, we took our bags to the room and were totally amazed at the room it is absolutely fantastic!  It was a little smaller than I had anticipated from the photos but a really cool and inviting space for whatever your dreams may be.  We went out back to view Jennifer's menagerie, we had read that she has several really cool pets and wanted to see the tortoise.  After a bit of meeting her friends out back we retired to the room and felt totally at home.  Everything about the room is just as you see in the pics and in great shape, what I had not expected, I maybe didn't read thoroughly enough, was the big screen TV in the room.  I really liked the bathroom with large tiled shower, there was plenty of room for two in there.  The room and the private bath really gave a feeling of luxury for a very nice price.  We had a great time and will definitely rent the room again in the future.

907229,26200297,2015-02-06,5380594,Laurie,This is my 3rd time to stay with Jenn and Tris (and Rainbow the sweet dog) and I already have my 4th stay booked as well.  The room is definitely lavish and the pebble floor in the shower is awesome. Jennifer is an incredible artist and her creative spirit is evident. Tris is very helpful and I enjoy my time here. Both are excellent hosts and very responsive to any requests.
907229,26220349,2015-02-07,5621304,Kevin,Jennifer waited up late for us to come in at the airport (even though we had delays!) and was an awesome host. She made sure we had water and gave us a nice tour of the room. The room itself was amazing; Jennifer is an artist and it shows. There was a flat screen TV with music (roku player) and a PS3 with games if you are bored. The bed was very comfortable and the decorations were great to look at. Thanks for the good time!
907229,26345474,2015-02-09,27240276,Fiona,"This was a great place to stay - very clean and comfortable room and lovely bathroom.  Jennifer's husband was who we interacted with, and he was very friendly and helpful.  The house is in a quiet neighborhood in a very convenient location in Austin - highly recommend this if you need  a nice place to stay!"
907229,26637782,2015-02-16,27170962,Zachary,"The best Valentine's Weekend, hands down; Jennifer is the most generous host I have ever had! I took the girlfriend out for a sunset viewing over Mt. Bonnel, and while we were gone Jennifer setup candles, decadent chocolate cake, incense and flowers for us! Even when we took too long and the candles burned out, she went out of her way to go buy more and set them up again. I can't thank her enough for going above and beyond what I expected from airbnb. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience, Jennifer is the obvious choice for your Austin vacation!"
907229,26710969,2015-02-17,21963599,Jimmy,"Jennifer is easygoing, respectful and helpful. She is an artist who made a lot of beautiful works!
The room is fannnnntastic! Have never seen a room like this before.
The host keeps plenty of pet in the garden, which is so much fun to play with!
Rainbow(her dog)is calm and friendly. 
Extremely fun stay!
"
907229,26754499,2015-02-18,5380594,Laurie,"This is my favorite place to stay in Austin when I have meetings on this side of town. The room is luxurious and the shower is awesome.  And Jenn, Tris and Rainbow are always so welcoming and fun!  I will be staying again in late March :-)"
907229,26920861,2015-02-22,25499200,Hannah,"We loved it here! The room is even more beautiful than the photos convey. It is very comfortable, and the Japanese river rock in the rain shower was so soothing after spending three days walking around Austin. Jennifer and her husband are friendly and engaging, as were all of their pets! We spend a lot of time thrifting and antiquing, and Jennifer sat down with us, made some coffee, and wrote up a list of recommendations. Her advice was invaluable! Our stay was very comfortable, and if we're back in the neighborhood, we'll certainly be on the look out for Jennifer's listings!"
907229,27040957,2015-02-23,13773610,David,Everything was good.
907229,27241132,2015-02-28,3932821,Greg,"What an wonderful place she has, and what a gracious host Jennifer is !  I needed a place at the last minute and she was able to help me out.  Even though I wasn't there that long, I felt right at home and the room is truly unique, reflecting the artistry and attention to detail that she obviously is all about. It was a fun and memorable place, as well a nice Austin change of pace, and I'm sure if you stay there you will enjoy it too.  Another great Airbnb experience.. Thank you!"
907229,27365229,2015-03-02,7873985,Jonathan,"Jennifer was very welcoming. She made breakfast, talked with us when we crossed, and even shared her expert knowledge of the city with us by printing out a map and offering us suggestions based off our interest. I appreciated the extra effort and local insight.

The pictures and description of Jennifer's listing were very accurate. Had I not booked the trip a week before, I would have though that the listing pictures were taken that morning. The listing lived up to the lash adjective used in the title and was very pleasant to return to at night during our trip. 

Admiralty, we didn’t spend much time in the neighborhood, but I perceived it as safe and parking our car was not an issue."
907229,27684700,2015-03-09,27655164,George,"Jennifer was welcoming and offered some good suggestions on places to visit in the Austin area. The bedroom was just as exotic as pictured, but we were surprised to pull up to a bright blue house with a huge egg on the lawn and large white fake flowers decorating a tree in an otherwise conservative neighborhood. Jennifer's sense of playfulness! Out of her large menagerie, we only saw the dog and goats. "
907229,28021335,2015-03-16,28045442,Natalie,very nice host - we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. location was convenient to austin studios and outdoor activities like hiking and parks. roku tv in room was great. curtains kept the room dark in the mornings for sleeping in. host made us delicious coffee every morning!
907229,28265209,2015-03-21,28188104,Dan,"Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! This was my very first AirBnB experience and it was phenomenal. I was looking for something different and off the beaten path and this ended up being the quintessential choice. Although my time was restricted with a convention to attend, Jennifer and Tris made every moment count. Jennifer was so nice and so accommodating that no request was ever a problem. I loved my Vampire Lestat room and the shower in the private bathroom never let me down. I wish I could have spent more time in the backyard with all the incredible animals (Goats! A Tortoise! A Pheasant!), but time would not allow....well, I guess I'll just have to come back. Highly Recommended! "
907229,28525116,2015-03-25,5380594,Laurie,Favorite AirBNB Austin place to stay - what can I say?  Awesomeness all the way around!
907229,28617399,2015-03-27,28511952,Amykate,"Jennifer was friendly and helpful. She gladly introduced us to all of her animals, the pig has grown up quite a bit from the pictures posted! The room was clean and looked just like the pictures. It was a nice night and she saw us off in the morning with a lunch suggestion."
907229,29618438,2015-04-10,29086479,Laura,"Our stay was simply fantastic. The room is absolutely stunning, and very well set up. Jennifer was a brilliant host. She was upbeat, easygoing, happy to help us with directions or a ride, all in all incredibly kind and generous with her time. If you like the look of this place, book it ASAP. You won't regret it."
907229,29982016,2015-04-15,16867835,Sam,"Jennifer was a great host. She went beyond the call of duty by providing several rides to the UT area, creating a hand drafted map showing us some places to eat, and by having super cute animals with funny personalities. Her husband is super cool too. He made breakfast tacos with eggs from the backyard. They tasted like magic. The room is very quiet and private. And if you want it to be, it gets super dark in there which is GREAT for sleeping :) I would go back. "
907229,30343281,2015-04-20,30838039,Chris,Great place. Very cozy and quiet. 
907229,30536983,2015-04-23,8085142,Ryan,"Much attention to detail; room is fabulously arranged, and Jennifer is very kind and welcoming. Very comfortable place to stay. A little outside of town but worth the trip."
907229,30645456,2015-04-25,31370606,Michelle,Wonderful experience. Very welcoming. Gorgeous room and bathroom. Amazing array of animal companions to visit with in backyard. Hope to have the opportunity to stay here again!!
907229,30818888,2015-04-27,28585212,Sarah,Jennifer and her husband were awesome hosts! I loved getting to know both of them and they were very easy to get along with. The room looked exactly as I imagined; the bathroom was beautiful as well. There was even a copy of The Night Circus in the room (one of my favorite books) so I definitely did some reading. Their animals were lovely and well taken care of and the neighborhood was inviting. I'll definitely stay here again!
907229,30906342,2015-04-28,30316774,Jackie,Staying at Jennifer's place was an amazing experience. The house has so much character and the room is incomparable to anything I have ever seen and so comfortable! The animals are all adorable as well. I had a great stay and would absolutely return again! 
907229,30964833,2015-04-29,30316774,Jackie,My experience at Jennifer's house was amazing. She is so sweet and welcoming and so are the animals. I would highly recommend anyone who is visiting Austin Texas to stay with her. I would absolutely go there again! 
907229,31130008,2015-05-02,31247087,Gregg And Teresa,"The room was definitely lavish with sumptuous fabric drapes, interesting art and accessories and lovely antique furnishings. The shower floor was like getting a foot massage! The suite offered sufficient privacy. We only stayed the one night but had ample time to meet the backyard menagerie and play soccer with the goats! Jennifer was a gracious host and her creativity was in full on project mode (which I suspect it always is) as she was working on heavy landscaping around the backyard bio pool. A great stay!"
907229,32287449,2015-05-16,32206857,David,"Jennifer made me feel very welcomed to her home. I only wished I hd more time to chat with her and her friends. Rhe room was very cozy anf clean, and was very pleased with bathroom. This is my first Airbnb and would do it again. "
907229,32600054,2015-05-19,4140428,Aly,Jennifer and her husband Tris were very welcoming and accomodating. The room and private bathroom were gorgeous and very relaxing! The animals were fun to watch and their new dog was so sweet. I'd highly recommend staying here!
907229,32605351,2015-05-19,7292618,Frances,"Jennifer was awesome and the room was exactly as pictures and super comfortable. There is a feeling of family in Jennifer's home and we had the privilege of meeting the goats, tortoise, ducks, frogs and other sweet animals that call the back yard home. I'm not really an outdoorsy girl, but it was just enough to make for a really fun moment and then we came back inside. :) the bathroom wasn't pictured I don't think when I booked, but it is also gorgeous and private. We didn't really use the  other parts of the home as we were in and out for a wedding, but we really enjoyed our stay. One word of warning- the curtains Jennifer have installed coupled with the rainy whether Austin was having made for such restful sleep
That we almost missed our brunch plans! Set an alarm because you will be comfortable and who wants to ruin that with scrambling? "
907229,32946419,2015-05-23,16018430,Aida,"La casa de Jennifer es preciosa, muy original y diferente. Ella es muy amable, agradable y nos recomendó sitios y restaurantes alucinantes. Sin duda una experiencia muy bonita, no nos queríamos ir de su casa. Todo muy limpio y ordenado. Un placer!!!!

Jennifer's house is beautiful, original, different... One of a kind! She's so nice, kind and she recommended us awesome places and restaurants to go. A wonderful experience that we won't forget, we didn't want to leave! The room was so clean and tidy. Was a pleasure!
"
907229,33232674,2015-05-26,28375314,Katelyn,"Yes, the host did make me feel welcome. The listing was quite accurate. "
907229,33363151,2015-05-27,27535724,Katie,"I had a great time staying here! Jennifer's husband was very kind and showed us around the back yard and we got to meet all the animals. He also brought us water as soon as we arrived. Jennifer was helping out at a local animal shelter, and I fell asleep shortly after I arrived, so we never had the pleasure of meeting. Overall, a wonderful time and beautiful décor. Thank you again for your hospitality! "
907229,33627861,2015-05-30,34137415,Tori,An all around great experience! Jennifer is awesome and her home is unique and very comfortable. 
907229,33830184,2015-06-01,29572571,Pavle,"Upon arriving, the house was one of the more interesting on the block. Jennifer was a delightful host and accomodated everything we needed for our stay. The room is small but very comfortable and inviting. Although it was (93 degrees) outside when we arrived, the room was a nice cool retreat. The room was orderly, clean, with clean sheets, clean towels and dust and alergy free. I was slightly concerned about my alergies since there is a number of cute animals around, but none go into the room and Jennifer does a good job at keeping it clean. Overall I will say this is a very fun, funky, artsy place to stay. The host was also nice enough to let us pet the pig and goats. (So cute!) This is a stay that I will remember as an Authentic Austin experience."
907229,34477368,2015-06-08,30615085,Gregory,"Staying at Jennifers place was an awesome experience, the room was amazing her animals are super sweet especially her dog. I stayed 2 nights there for a competition i was in,the restroom was super cool would definitely stay again"

907229,34746206,2015-06-11,8919567,Jacob,Jenifer was a fantastic host. She was very easy to work with and flexible on my check in time. She provided me a key to her house so I could come and go as I please. The room and bathroom were great and exactly as pictured. I would he happy to stay here again.
907229,34830638,2015-06-12,26333910,Rachel,"Jennifer's place is a fantastic example of Austin. It is pleasently weird. The house definitely sticks out on the street as you drive up. The room was even better than described, with a bed so comfortable, we napped right after getting in! I loved how dark the room was, even during the day. Everything was decorated so well, and even more interesti g than the pictures.
Jennifer was very chill, and let us meet her lil petting zoo in the back yard. Whule Porker the pig wasnt too fond of getting to know us, Wesley and Buttercup (the goats) were very happy to have their horns rubbed. 
And even though we did have a little issue with locking the door, Jennifer was right there to help us out. And she gave us some great advice as for where to go for some fun! 
This was a fantastic place to stay for our first bnb experience, and i would highly recommend it.
"
907229,34920454,2015-06-13,3250280,Brian,"The room was absolutely wonderful. Jennifer definitely took time decorating it, masterfully implementing several different art styles which made it truly unique. Both Jennifer and her husband made sure we were comfortable and were provided with everything we needed. Unfortunately we did not get to interact with all the animals there, except for the dog which in fact was very sweet. It was our first time using Airbnb services and it was definitely a success! "
907229,35043753,2015-06-14,268730,Nerissa,"The room was very nice. The bed was comfortable, and the room had interesting decorations. Jennifer was not there to meet me in person, but her friend let me in and showed me the ropes, and gave me the key to the front door. I loved all the random animals. There were iguanas and a dog in the house, and goats and chickens out in the back yard. If you love animals you'll love this place. "
907229,35219094,2015-06-16,296519,Hunter And Teri,"Due to our schedules, we didn't actually have the opportunity to speak with Jennifer, but Tris was very welcoming when we arrived and made us feel right at home.  He showed us where everything was and gave us a full tour of their furred, feathered and scaled family.  The room was just as lovely as the photos and had everything we needed!   We will definitely be coming back to stay here when our schedules bring us back to Austin!"
907229,36309663,2015-06-27,30736125,Blake,"Animal lovers look no further! Jennifer introduced us to all her pets, made us feel at home, and provided an overall great experience."
907229,36586524,2015-06-29,1831327,Emil,"The room was fantastic, many beautiful decorations.  Jennifer and her husband were very nice and accommodating.  The house is unique, many interesting things to see.   Easy access to restaurants and grocery stores near by.  Will definitely use their room again."
907229,36738407,2015-06-30,4915671,Dominique,"My boyfriend and I were blown away with this little gem of a house/room! We are still bragging about it and sharing photos with our friends, and probably always will! The room was very clean, smelled fresh and they even welcomed us with really cool lounge music playing on the TV, which we just let play continuously because of the added ambiance to the room. They had ice water ready for us, everything was just beautiful. Jennifer and Tris were very sweet, accommodating, and the overall experience was excellent. The animals were just a sweet added bonus! I thought the house would be kind of a trek from downtown, but it was a surprisingly short little drive, about 8 miles. We would love to book this room again every time we visit to Austin!"
907229,36830346,2015-07-01,35294597,Sara,"I was there just for one day, Jennifer was very responsive , the place is very cozy, clean and interesting."
907229,37341669,2015-07-06,34698893,Kendra,"My husband and I loved staying with Jennifer! The room was clean, beautiful, and unique. We were a little worried about the distance from downtown, being we did not have a car. However, the area was close to a grocery store, Torchy's tacos, and a few other nice places; we walked to Torchys tacos everyday for breakfast..its not far. Also there are bus stops close to Jennifer's house and next to the gtocery store. So, if you are traveling without a car, staying with Jennifer is still a great option. Jennifer was a great host, she was kind and helpful! Tris was awesome as well! The animals are cute and added extra fun to our trip!  I would recommend staying with Jennifer if you are visiting Austin!"
907229,37628152,2015-07-08,35141643,Melissa,"Jennifer was an excellent host and was great at explaining the layout of the room and a little bit about the neighborhood. I booked this room the day of check in.  Jennifer was prompt with correspondence and a pleasure to work with.  The photos of the room are accurate however the room actually exceded my expectations given what I assumed it was from the photos. The bed was EXTREMELY comfortable. The room is perfect for 1 or 2 people. The bathroom is beautiful and as you can see from the photos, the room and bathroom are unique and well put together. Jennifer had filtered water in a pitcher with glasses near the bed, beautifully displayed towels in the bathroom, wifi password provided in writing in the room, and a very large flat screen television.  

The neighborhood felt safe and it was about a 20 minute walk to everything you would need. In both directions are huge shopping centers which has everything from Torchy's Tacos, to huge grocery stores, a Chase bank, food vendors, a bar, and mini mall for shopping.  The block and immediate surrounding area of the home is quiet and residential.  

In the back Jennifer had all sorts of amazing animals as some were mentioned in her post.  Her animals were amazing and I felt grateful that she was home and able to introduce me to them. I LOVED the goats and the tortoise!

Lastly, Jennifer had her amazing art and customized pieces displayed in the living room which were beautiful to admire.  She was also fostering a dog and kitten at the time. She is super sweet and brilliantly creative!  

Again, I was very very impressed with the room itself. It was even more beautiful than I imagined and Jennifer really takes care in ensuring you have everything that you need and that the room is a work of art itself. I would definitely stay here again if I needed a place for a night or two.  It was about a 20 minute ride to the airport and I was able to use Uber/Lyft 3 times easily with a minimal/average wait time.  "
907229,38177177,2015-07-13,12001936,Ashley,The room is as awesome in person as it is in the photos! Jennifer gave good advice on what to do in Austin when I asked.  I was glad to have a unique place to stay with a private bathroom and easy parking.
907229,38679383,2015-07-17,30112,Belinda,"Jennifer's place is exactly as what is shown in her photos- lush! Bathroom is cleaned and well maintained, I loved her shower! Her home has great character and parking was easy and free with it only being a 10-15 drive to downtown.

Meeting her pets situated in the suburb of Austin was a treat and I will be forever grateful to Jennifer for introducing me to her snicker doodle coffee! She is warm, friendly and super talented-esp if you need a costume! We wished we had more nights in her home."
907229,39253795,2015-07-21,38881096,Amanda,We loved our stay! The room & bathroom had everything we needed for a quick stay in Austin! I would definitely recommend to anyone who doesn't mind animals! We enjoyed getting to meet the different animals & would stay again! 
907229,39438735,2015-07-23,11774534,Nathan,Host was very friendly and accommodating.  She was able to tell us about the Austin art community and is a very talented artist herself.  The shower in the bedroom was the highlight for me!  This room def has style.   
907229,40411144,2015-07-30,3822997,Neil,"We had a lovely stay in the red room! It was a pleasure meeting Princess Buttercup, Wesley, and Little Dude. Jennifer was extremely welcoming and accommodating. Our stay was in a great, safe location. Would definitely recommend and would stay with Jennifer again! "
907229,40692325,2015-08-01,39855210,Abigail,Jennifer's room is so gorgeous! My husband and I loved it :) if you've seen Firefly her room is basically the companion's shuttle. She was very accommodating and really worked with us on our times. I will definitely be staying there again!!!
907229,40934119,2015-08-03,27811062,Steve,"I was earlier than I expected to me.  Jennifer was very welcoming regardless.  The pictures do not do the room and the bathroom justice.  Beautifully decorated, and quiet.  Highly recommended."
907229,41877154,2015-08-09,40221426,Rebecca,"Room was gorgeous!  Bed was comfy, temperature was comfortable, and the place was very clean.  You can definitely tell that an artist has designed this room as well as the rest of the house.  Jennifer gave us some food recommendations and we also got to meet their animals - goats, turtle, dogs, iguanas, ducks, a pig, and a chicken that lets you hold her like a baby and rub her feet!  We are animal lovers so we felt more at home in an animal friendly house (though no animals were in our room).  No trouble parking or finding the house."
907229,41994901,2015-08-10,2167085,John,"Jennifer and Tris were wonderful hosts. We felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay. The room was great. It is even more fabulous than the pictures make it out to be. 
A+ all the way! "
907229,42334172,2015-08-12,18751488,Tammy,"非常舒服的房間！屋內的佈置都充滿藝術氣息，有非常多女主人的作品，那些藝術品都非常精美。院子有很多非常可愛的動物，羊、雞、烏龜、豬、鬣蜥、友善的狗，如果喜歡動物的話真的是非常好的一個環境。
我們待在這邊的期間擁有舒適的空間和良好的隱私，他們不會打擾住客。即使自己他們有很多其他事要處理，他們也很願意花時間和我們談話、介紹我們去處。"
907229,42882865,2015-08-16,28248676,Conor,"Fantastic host. The pictures don't do the room justice. During our stay we had plenty of privacy in a great room. There's even a private bathroom and shower accessible only through this bedroom. The situation is just outside of downtown Austin, which is a welcome reprieve when you're staying several nights. Make sure to check out some of the local spots, too."
907229,43437278,2015-08-19,38029541,Jun,"It's hard for me to express in words how great Jennifer was. She's nothing short of a saint, and he attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to help me out during my stay was beyond encouraging. Jennifer has a variety of exciting animals in her backyard and her did Lil Dude is quite possibly the friendliest canine in all of the southern united states. The location is great, the hosts are great, the bedroom is great. Definitely book with Jenn."
907229,44270184,2015-08-24,1229779,Mr. & Mrs.,Host was very friendly and accommodating. Room was beautifully decorated. 
907229,45329282,2015-09-01,9106037,Ashok Kumar,"I am a regular Airbnb user and have travelled to a number of great cities and have found a number of great hosts who extend the best in hospitality, but Jennifer is a cut above them all. Reasons are so many but I will mention a few. 1) She makes the best coffee on earth 2) The red bedroom is your best opportunity to see something like a Moulin Rouge club type decor in a bedroom in America 3) There is art and activity all around you in her house as she's always creating something 4) Jen is amazingly prompt and a great conversationalist 5) Beautiful neighborhood in the quirky Austin. Didn't mean to raise the expectations for your new hosts and add to your workload or anything Jen as I feel you are a super natural with your hospitality and friendliness. I will visit again and good luck with all your art projects!"
907229,45642109,2015-09-04,4484040,Jonah,"Jennifer's place is a dream! Great in all ways, a super-fun way to visit Austin. "
907229,45759240,2015-09-05,34781963,Chance,"The pictures don't do the room justice. It's a pretty awesome room. We didn't get to meet Jennifer, but Tris was quite nice and welcoming. We ended up arriving way later than expected but they were happy to accommodate us. "
907229,46408226,2015-09-10,39883157,Yasemin,"Room is nicely decorated and bed was (website hidden) is in a quite neighborhood so you will definitely have relaxing sleep. Jennifer was always responsive.If you use perfume every day, like us , Jennifer has allergies so she will ask you not to use it. I think this should have been stated in description or house rules. It can be a deal breaker for some. "
907229,46888702,2015-09-14,8020836,Mike,"Jennifer and Tris were so (email hidden)is even picked us up from the airport!

The place is amazing, perfect for animal lovers (they have truly gorgeous critters), and a Lyft into downtown was never more than $10. 

The room is definitely as advertised: stylish, private, and luxurious.  "
907229,47135529,2015-09-15,11215488,Laura,"Wonderful and fast communication - especially for a same-day booking, thank you!! The place was clean, funky-cool deco with a really nice bathroom. Super hosts, adorable animals out in the yard, close to some excellent cafes and places to eat and an extra special thanks to the superb coffee in the morning and lovely chat. Hope to stay with you guys again, thank you!!"
907229,47232383,2015-09-16,43894602,Tim,"Great quiet room, nice neighborhood, very cool decor, no problems.

The pig is mean, though. Beware of pig."
907229,47303743,2015-09-17,43446164,Beck,"Jennifer's place was simply beautiful. Photos could not do it justice, we felt like we were staying in a castle. She was incredibly hospitable and welcoming, and even took the time to introduce us to all of her animal family members. We honestly had zero complaints. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would recommend this spot to anyone in a heartbeat. "
907229,47657692,2015-09-21,38153862,Katrina,"The room and bath were quite pretty, and the hosts were friendly and unobtrusive. My only real issue was the lack of a bright light in the bedroom. The bath was very well lit though and had a really big mirror, which was helpful. My only concern for future guests is if they're afraid of dogs. They will need to make arrangements with Jennifer ahead of time to accommodate that or just stay elsewhere. The dog is not mean, but will bark at you and act protective of his owners."
907229,48444020,2015-09-26,4499144,Miranda,"Jennifer was a great host, very friendly, chilled out and kind. We loved the room, it was very dramatic! Really great place to stay in Austin, just a little bit of a drive into town which was fine as we had a car.

Thanks Jennifer!"
907229,48838655,2015-09-28,30490344,Jazmin M.,"Jennifer and Tris are great! The positive ratings and reviews are completely spot on. The neighborhood was great - felt completely safe and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze and they are overall laid back, which we appreciated. The room itself is very lavish and we kind of loved the atmosphere they've created considering it was a same-week getaway that we'd planned for ourselves. Another Austin, Texas gem! 

"
907229,49455567,2015-10-04,41676105,Jen,Had a great stay at Jennifer's listing. The room is gorgeous like everyone says and it was the perfect place to hide away for some R&R when the sun got too hot. Did not see Jennifer much during our stay but did have a chance to chat once and she was lovely enough to give us various recommendations for food and things to do.
907229,49761708,2015-10-06,2314416,Karina,"Hi Jennifer!

Thank you very much for hosting myself and Bill on our vacation to Austin and Texas Hill Country.

The room has very interesting and unusual in a good sense decor. Lots pets outside make you feel you are in the country site. The house is located in a quite neighborhood, but in very close proximity to the downtown Austin and all the fun this great city has to offer.

Thank you!

Karina and Bill

907229,50171541,2015-10-10,8223877,Nathan,"Jennifer and her husband were great hosts. The room was flawlessly clean, amazing to look at and very comfortable. We loved it!

We'd definitely stay with them again for sure :)"
907229,50517555,2015-10-12,44757214,Eric,"My girl friend & I stayed here two nights and three days during the Austin City Limits music fest. Our first night, we were welcomed by Jennifer who was super inviting. The bedroom did not fall short of the photos. It was absolutely amazing! It definitely earns its name as the Red Room! The bed is super comfortable & the atmosphere of it was very relaxing. The bathroom is also breath taking. The animals are super cute! We got the pleasure of meeting them with Jennifer's husband, who was also kind and generous. They really made our stay worthwhile."
907229,50673579,2015-10-13,9557342,Alain,We enjoyed our stay at Jennifer's house. The room was very well decorated and comfortable. Thanks you very much.
907229,51186920,2015-10-18,45394722,James,"Had a 3-night stay with Jenn&Tris. The Red Room is as described, clean, cozy, quiet, dark, and easy to oversleep within (which is a good thing on our mini vacation). It takes you to another time and place but is also equipped with a large flat-screen tv and internet.

Hosts are nice, knowledgable, and accommodating. Jennifer's an accomplished artist and the general feel there is very artsy, very down-to-earth.

My wife and I love and understand dogs/cats etc… so the one dog inside was not a problem. They have a variety of animals on-site, mostly in the back yard, also not a problem.

Location? Since we live in suburban Houston, anywhere in Austin is close enough, so this was very good for us. This location is just a bit north-east of downtown/Capitol/UT campus. With a car it's great, and it's also on a bus line. Stores, food, nearby. Main freeway nearby. Tacos nearby. Don't miss the world class BBQ (and yes, food trucks rule around Austin, are not only safe sources they are WAY better eats than 'standardized' restaurants)."
907229,52051772,2015-10-26,16662958,Joey,Didn't get to meet Jennifer but her husband Tris was very nice.  The room was very clean and comfortable to sleep.  Bathroom was clean and shower was very nicely renovated. Location was great relative to the attractions in Austin.  Bonus that they had Roku :)
907229,52822572,2015-11-02,27366583,Whitney,"My fiancé and I definitely had a uniquely awesome experience. First and foremost, Jen is very accommodating. Due to unforeseen weather troubles we were not able to check in until after midnight, which she was completely fine with. There are many intriguing companions including; goats, chickens, ducks, a pheasant, a dog, one of the coolest cats I have ever met, a turtle, swine and a couple of men. All of which are phenomenal. She gives you your space, but is also there for you for anything you need. Her and the roommates are very socialable people and are definitely fun to talk to. My fiancé was exceptionally impressed that when we got to our room there was filtered water provided and that our room was dustless! All in all we could not give this place enough rave! From the awesome bed to the badass shower, we would recommend everyone to stay here and we for sure will stay there again if we find ourselves in the area."
4085163,20918460,2014-10-07,9999692,Rob,"Austin City Limits 2014.  We rent a Home every year for ACL so our family & friends can be together for the music festival.  The Scott's home is / was the best house & Experience we have had over the years.  This home is set up so well.  Kitchen was stocked, the Beds are great, the home is updated Very tastefully.  A great space for a Group of Friends or Family.   We highly recommend this home.  The Owners, the location, & all were a Wonderful experience.  Tons of great restaurants, sites, & more very close to this home.  
The photos actually do not do the home justice, better then the photos.  "
4085163,23404934,2014-11-30,23969210,Laurie,"We stayed at this wonderful home over Thanksgiving with our family. It felt like home away from home, and comfortably fit our entire crew. The house has a great open floorplan as well as beautiful outdoor living spaces, which were especially enjoyed by our grandkids. The location was perfect and made it easy to dine at great restaurants, walk town lake, and hop on Mopac to easily get anywhere we needed to go. Melissa was great and made sure everything went smoothly.  We hope to be back soon!"
4085163,24546084,2014-12-30,2936931,Nancy,"Ok, this airbnb house is as good as it gets.  All of our worldly young adults offspring walked in and said WOW. Pristinely clean: right out of architectural digest, with every detail for living well covered.  We could not have had a better place for our family gathering for our wedding.  Sleeps and easily accommodates 10 people comfortably.  The expansive kitchen,dining and living rooms made for really nice family cooking, dining and partying with a whole lot of family coming in for our reception.  The weather was cold and wet, so we looked longingly at the gorgeous back yard party area: decks  with cushioned seating and a big grill. Austinites knew the place, the pretty house right behind everyone's favorite: the Magnolia Cafe.  Perfect.  Perfect. I will add that we had a hospitalization just before due to arrive and Melissa was completely accommodating about allowing for our difficulties in confirming details until the docs approved.  Thank you Melissa, you gave us a beautiful wedding party temporary home. "
4085163,25314491,2015-01-12,24185616,Haviva,Melissa was a great host! She made everything super easy and the house was clean and exactly what she said it would be. The location is perfect and Melissa gave some great suggestions about things to do close to the house as well as Austin in general.
4085163,26597618,2015-02-16,25493445,Linsey,Melissa was a great host!  The house looks exactly like the pictures.  The outdoor space was awesome. The neighborhood was very nice and in a great location.

She left lots of helpful info, and even a surprise for our group during SXSW. It was a nice oasis to escape to during the madness of the festival. Thanks, Melissa!"
4085163,29824248,2015-04-13,1207920,Kevin,"Great neighborhood and beautiful home for a large group of people--plenty of room to spread out inside and out.  Upstairs has its own suite with two bedrooms and a bathroom.  Downstairs has three bedroom and a bathroom.  Owner was responsive--highly recommend.  Only side note: you need to bring your own soap, toiletries and hairdryer!

4085163,35061563,2015-06-15,5638352,Kate,"Melissa was very warm and genuine in communications, and she was very easy to get ahold of. We also appreciated her flexibility with our early arrivals! 

Although I personally didn't end up making it due to a last minute illness, all the other girls just raved about how incredible the house was. The 10 of them had plenty of room and they said the location was perfect. There was a local cafe where they picked up breakfast each morning and a dive bar they could walk to as well.

I'd recommend staying at Melissa's property to anyone."
4085163,37342448,2015-07-06,34824693,Kenneth,Great house with an even better location and host. I would highly recommend this listing for anyone traveling to Austin!

Thanks so much for sharing your home with us Melissa!  "
4085163,44185780,2015-08-24,39871500,Matthew,"The house was perfect for our group of 10 friends. It was very spacious, and the beds were so comfortable. The back patio area was perfect for relaxing and having conversation! Refreshments and snacks were available upon arrival, and you could tell the owner wanted to make our stay as enjoyable as possible! I would highly recommend this house!"
4085163,46132965,2015-09-08,32086389,Eric,The Deep Eddy house was absolutely perfect. It was in a perfect lotion and had plenty of space. It was a quiet and awesome neighborhood. I can't wait to come back to Austin and stay in this house. 
4085163,50617467,2015-10-13,11553893,Kat,"This was an amazing home and location for ACL! We went with a group of 8 and stayed at Melissa's home. It was just as described in the listing and the pictures are very accurate.

Melissa is a great Airbnb host, she was reliable, responsiveness and gave very specific and detailed instructions to us on check in and check out. She was super flexible and responded on time to emails. If I went back to Austin with a large group I would 100% stay at Melissa's home again.

The location of the house is west of Downtown but close to 6th street where there are bars and it is next to Magnolia Cafe for an amazing (and affordable) breakfast! We went there 5 times in one weekend. If you want more of a college/young scene stay in east Austin.

Thanks,
Kat"
4085163,51330186,2015-10-19,44186532,Erin,This house was perfect for our large group of ladies!! Close to downtown and spacious for a big group! Melissa was wonderful to work with and very responsive to any needs. Would definitely stay there in the future! 
973482,3785636,2013-03-14,5373681,Daisy,Seana's apartment is sweet and very homely.  There were no unexpected surprises as it was exactly as she described it. She was very helpful even when we had arrived and gave us lots of great local information. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back!
716894,3786941,2013-03-15,4006020,Scott,2 words - The Roof!  Beautiful home that is close to everything and great for entertaining.  Recommend hiring their maid once if staying for a week.
716894,10901237,2014-03-12,11150347,Lauren,"Our stay at the Zilker Villa was wonderful!  The house is truly beautiful and accommodated our large group.  The multiple living spaces and open living room/kitchen made for a great place for the group to gather.  The neighborhood was very quiet, but only a few minutes to downtown.

The owners were very easy to work with and answered all of our questions prior to the trip!"
716894,28122592,2015-03-18,1655924,Matthew,"Beautiful villa, lovely hosts, right in the heart if Austin. Welcoming gift. The perfect place for SXSW. Couldn't have been better."
716894,28427051,2015-03-23,21613173,Michelle,Amazing!  Our entire group was comfortable!  Great house to host people over and a great time!  Thank you for everything. 
716894,30416391,2015-04-21,5305244,Bj,This is a beautiful house in a great location. My friends and I had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the roofdeck. Would definitely stay again.
7048950,36928505,2015-07-02,18225658,Liston,"I stayed with Willey and John for about 2 days and they were excellent hosts.  They were friendly, helpful and made me feel right at home.  They gave me several recommendations for places to eat and visit while I was there and all of them were right on point.  The room was great (nice and clean) and the house is in a good location not too far from downtown Austin.  I really enjoyed my stay and I will definitely be staying with Willey and John again when I return to Austin. "
6304168,33310693,2015-05-26,32965628,Taylor,"Chris was quick with his responses making the booking experience very easy. His apartment was charming, clean and comfortable. He left us a cute basket of toiletries and a bottle of red wine. He was thoughtful in preparing his spot for our stay and we found it to be a great place to come back to after long days of exploring Austin."
6304168,34356569,2015-06-07,34358245,Paloma,"This was an amazing Airbnb experience! This is only the second time I have tried it out and I'm so happy about our experience. Chris greeted us with a bottle of wine and a nice basket full of toiletries, like shampoo, face wash, etc; which was so convenient since we forgot to pack shampoo. The apartment was clean, has a/c, the bed was very comfortable and the best thing was that it was so close to everything downtown. Loved it!! You should definitely stay at Chris'!! Thanks Chris, you're awesome! Loved your city and glad we had a homey place to come back to. "
6304168,37378378,2015-07-06,23719832,Bridget,The listing was accurate. The apartment was very nice and in the perfect location close to Barton spring and downtown. Chris was a fantastic host going above and beyond to make sure our stay was a pleasant one. I would definitely stay here again the next time I am in Austin.

Le rendez-vous s'est fait dans la matinée avec toutes les informations afin d'arriver sans problème dans leur logement.
Merci beaucoup."
4064803,23594567,2014-12-06,21483551,David,"Stephanie was a great host. Any time we needed anything she was very quick at resolving it. For example, we have a small child and there are stairs in Unit C, I request a blocker and she had it the next day."
4064803,28208925,2015-03-20,68530,Libby,"Amazing location and great space. There were three of us - two guys, one woman (me). Plenty of space for three, with someone sleeping on the couch - though honestly I think I could have fitted all three of us in the incredibly comfortably kind-sized bed in the master, which features an en suite bath. Perfection. Thanks, Stephanie!"

4064803,50084169,2015-10-09,35731988,Chris,"Stephanie was great. She actually let us check in early because we were coming from another rental where checkout was way before her check in. We loved the area. It was very walkable with cute restaurants, local grocery and amazing coffee shop all within blocks of the property. The house was cozy and we enjoyed our stay - only negative for me was the lack of pots, pans and kitchen utensils (although very nice knives for a rental). Overall, it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay."
1681780,7927668,2013-10-08,8898428,Tyler,"An amazing house with the best hospitality. The house is perfect located pretty much in the center of town. Absolutely perfect placement for any activities at Zilker Park. Stayed for ACL  and was able to walk to the festival grounds in 10-15 minutes. Very well kept house. We were the first group to stay at the house so we were missing a few items. Once we called AirBnB they were not only very nice but super helpful. They didn't hesitate to help in any way. The owner showed up personally for the household items that we needed. Very cool guy as well. This place easily sleeps 4 people. The living room turns into another room. 

I will recommend this house to anyone and I will definitely stay here again.

Thanks for the memories!"
1681780,8242178,2013-10-21,1335200,Jasmine,"Stayed here with two of my girlfriends during their visit to Austin. We had such a great time in this little house. It's perfect for 3 people (can accommodate 4 but I think it would have felt a little cramped with one more person). My friends stayed in the bedroom, I stayed on the daybed in the living room and we all slept like babies. The little kitchenette is perfect for coffee and preparing light snacks (we made a buffet of wine and cheese and it was awesome) - but there are no cooking appliances, so don't expect to prepare any stovetop meals. For what we needed, this was perfect. The house is located on a busy thoroughfare, so very easy to catch a cab. It's also very close to S Lamar's best restaurants and bars, so we pretty much walked everywhere. Also only 20-30 min walk to Whole Foods downtown. Central Air was in perfect working condition so we could keep it cool during the day and heat it at night. And the Turnkey staff was very helpful when we needed assistance with the wifi password. It's always good to know you can reach people right away when you need help. Overall a very charming and comfortable stay...I would highly recommend."
1681780,10548049,2014-02-24,7571235,Joshua,"Great service, the place was better than advertised."
1681780,12007015,2014-04-21,11608091,Sam,Great house and very easy process to work the TurnKey team to get everything taken care of! We will be back!
3811792,33719420,2015-05-31,31849711,Emily,The hosts had laid out a bottle of wine upon our arrival - very appreciated after flying with children!  The home was spacious and comfortable and right next to a park.  Easy access to Lamar and Mopac.  Home was very modern and updated.  Felt like a boutique hotel!  
3811792,34340797,2015-06-07,18218810,Michelle,"This home is a gem of Austin !:)
Upon arrival we were greeted with a bottle of wine and a lovely welcome note. From the first minute we walked in the door we felt extremely welcomed. The home was beautiful and honestly the photos don't really show truly how clean, warm and welcoming the space is. The home was immaculate and It was supplied like a hotel; to me that was above and beyond. It truly is about the details that make something special and they didn't seem to leave one out!  From nice smelling soap in the dispensers to wipes in the bathroom, toothbrushes and toothpaste  everything was well prepared for. 
Ames was wonderful in communication before and through out and I highly recommend his home for being a relaxing and beautiful space .
The home is convenient to all the fun in downtown Austin. It was the first Air B n B experience for most of my guests and they were so impressed!
Thank you for allowing us have a wonderful birthday weekend! "
3811792,35006867,2015-06-14,29758904,Lesa,"We had a wonderful stay at this home. We were in town to visit family and attend our nieces' birthday. This was so much better than booking a hotel, especially with a two-year-old and lots of down time. The house is beautiful and very well kept. We had plenty of room with four adults and a child. The host recommended great places to eat in the neighborhood, and the location was great for us. We cooked dinner one night and enjoyed time on the back porch. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone and we hope to be back soon! "
3811792,35403009,2015-06-18,34304849,Aaron,Our stay was perfect. Great house with an open floor plan and amazing lighting. Will definitely stay there again soon!
3811792,37171077,2015-07-05,15399087,Nolan,"Left us a bottle of wine and a nice welcome message.  House was close enough to uber to the city, but far enough away to where we could get some peace and quiet.  Very clean."
3811792,46158281,2015-09-08,202508,Jaymee,"We really enjoyed our stay here.  The house was beautiful, had everything we needed, and was in a great location.  We were welcomed with a bottle of wine, a comprehensive house manual, and personalized note which was made us feel right at home.  Check in and check out were smooth and easy.  Also, the host was SO great about promptly getting back to me with all the last minute questions I had prior to our arrival and even left out beach chairs, beach towels, and coolers for us per my request.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat if I'm ever back in Austin!  "
3811792,49594922,2015-10-05,20533273,Mykol,"The house is amazing and has all the space we needed for 6 people. newly remodeled and comfortable beds. Its across the street from a park so there was no problem with noise. The neighborhood is quiet and is a short drive to most things. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to our friends. Ames was a very accommodating host, left a nice note and bottle of wine before our arrival and responded promptly to our emails. "
3811792,50268083,2015-10-11,7790869,Marco,"The neighborhood was very nice and quiet.  There was a park nearby and not far from downtown and ACL.  Very nice treat to have a glass of wine waiting for us when we arrived, thanks Ames!  "
3811792,52039750,2015-10-26,7913222,Brian,Nice touch to leave the bottle of wine for us. Home description is right on. Very well done home and very comfortable.  Thank you.

Plus, Erin have very good advices !!"

The place is beautiful, I loved the small bar and the kitchen. We were provided with an air mattress for out additional person that was easy and comfortable to use. This place is cozy and felt like home."
7129193,45843408,2015-09-06,41766865,Sarah,The condo was clean and well prepared when we arrived - Erin had turned on the AC and left us some goodies. We loved the location - very close to downtown and walking distance to Lamar shopping and dining. Great experience!

The location was close (short drive) from UT. For meals we walked to local shops and restaurants such as the cafe across the parking lot for morning coffee. The apartment was very cozy and fit the 5 of us with 1 person on the couch. Our host, Erin, was very responsive to all of the questions we had. Overall we had a nice experience."
7129193,47980626,2015-09-22,40095000,Maia,"The photos of this condo doesn't to it justice. The place is beautiful, modern, very tide and extremely clean. The little patio is an absolute gem. Erin has been amazing since the start, our flights were delayed and we arrived at 12am, this was not a problem for her, she had provided us with a little booklet full of useful information we might need and made sure to ask us how are stay was going and if there was anything we needed. The location of the condo is absolutely perfect, a couple of minutes from downtown and next to Whole Foods, definitely in the 'posh' area of Austin. All in all this was my first experience with Airbnb and it was absolutely perfect. I will definitely be staying here again when I return to Austin!"
7129193,48633772,2015-09-27,24204337,Laura,We had a wonderful time in Austin and Erin's place made our stay even better!  It's location was perfect for being central to everything we wanted to do and see while we were showing our friends around Austin.
7129193,48739108,2015-09-28,781840,Herb,"Totally as advertised. Location was great. Erin had the place cleaned up and looking very welcoming including lit candles, good information about local places and attractions.  Neighborhood was quiet and comfortable, yet near 6th Street with all that goes on there.  I'd go back in a heartbeat."
7129193,49603913,2015-10-05,12519358,Scott,"I couldn't have been happier with Erin's place in Austin (thank you, Erin!) Everything was exactly as described, and the four of us fit very comfortably with her provided air mattress. Location was perfect, walking distance to both downtown and Austin City Limits, and a 24 hour diner, whole foods, and restaurants were all within a stone's throw. Perfectly safe area just a couple of blocks off the beaten path. Erin was extremely responsive and friendly through the whole process. Exactly what you're hoping for when you go through AirBnB!"
7129193,50441694,2015-10-12,21922920,Chris,Erin made us feel right at home.  We really enjoyed the location walking everywhere.  The rain shower head at the end of a long day on our feet was very welcome.
7129193,51889157,2015-10-25,11701723,Kate,"Wonderful experience. The apartment is in a nice area, is clean and nicely decorated and Erin was really kind. She checked in on us during I climate weather just to make sure that we had everything we needed :)"
7129193,52615344,2015-10-31,88323,Margit,"Erin was very helpful with any questions I had.  The description is very accurate and is a wonderful location.  I was able to walk to Whole Foods, Amy's Ice Cream, 24 Hour Diner which has the best salads I've ever had, as well as wonderful small clothing, gift & art stores.  There are also many other wonderful restaurants close by & a bakery just about 1/2 block away.  Would most definitely stay here again.    "
2526099,19380714,2014-09-11,20160489,Aaron,"Rachel was a fantastic host and gave great instructions towards exploring the wonders of Austin as a newcomer. Her and Drew's pets, Petrie and Banks, were great and great friends, helping me what might have been somewhat stressful days with a wagging tail and a cute meow, as I moves myself into Austin and interviewed for jobs, roommates, and the like. A beautiful apartment as well, I would hire Rachel and Drew any day to be my interior decorators."
2526099,28151991,2015-03-18,27329087,Seyeong,Rachel was very nice and it was nice talking to her. She checked if we needed anything and cuz she had time she came to pick us up. The dog and a cat was very sweet. It was clean and comfortable. It takes five min walk to the bus station that goes to everywhere including downtown.
2526099,28265779,2015-03-21,28309431,Tara,Wow! What a great stay! Rachel was very nice and a great and very talented host. Definitely a great first airbnb experience!
2526099,28486440,2015-03-24,26976340,Amber,"Rachel was great! Easy going, very accommodating, and super helpful. Everything was as described, and her pets were very easy going & easy to deal with; lovable to be sure. I would stay again given the opportunity. Rachel & Drew made us feel at home."
2526099,30343523,2015-04-20,10923098,Paige,"The apartment was great! The host was literally like the nicest ,most helpful ,down to earth person ive ever met. "

2526099,33045405,2015-05-24,27088694,Oscar,"Our stay at Rachel and Drew's place was our first time using AirBnB. The host was very good at communicating prior to our arrival especially since we were running late. Arrangements were made so that we could enter the home after they went to sleep. A printed welcome sheet conveniently provided information about the house and the surrounding area. We had access to wifi, kitchen necessities, and towels were provided. Neighborhood was in a quite area just outside of central Austin. Great location easily accessible to many parts of Austin via car. Thank you for a great first AirBnB experience!"
2526099,35232901,2015-06-16,5380475,Lukas,"Rachel and Drew made us feel super welcome in Austin. The apartment was a nice size, there was plenty of living space- which we were not used to coming from the NYC area. The neighborhood was safe and an easy drive to downtown. 

The plants, animals, and art made for a very pleasant atmosphere.

We already miss Banks and Petrie (a lovely dog and cat duo). I would say we are bonded for life after our two week stay. 

I would recommend Rachel and Drew's place to anyone looking to stay in Austin."
2526099,42910366,2015-08-16,18409050,John,"Rachel and Drew were super welcoming. I was staying for 2 weeks, and they made me feel at home and let me use all the amenities I needed to stay sane. Their apartment is clean, cozy, and attractive, and they have two adorable and well-behaved pets!"
2526099,48929773,2015-09-29,43543931,Rebecca,"Rachel & Drew are down to earth wonderful folks.  Rachel is an artist, and it shows in the DNA of their home.  It's gorgeous, inspiring, and fun.  Their home is comfortable, cool, and clean.  100% would book again.  Thank you for the wonderful crash pad!"
2526099,49783013,2015-10-06,34599466,Clayton,"I really loved my stay with Rachel and Drew. It was easy communicating with them before my stay and once I was there, they were easy to talk to and are very knowledgable about the area. The room was cozy and their well-behaved cat & dog were nice to have around. If I go back to Austin, I will definitely reach out to them again."
2526099,52284326,2015-10-27,8066677,Gladys,"Rachel and Drew made us feel instantly welcome into their artistic space :) Lots of personality throughout the rooms,  great artwork and loved their adorable pets, very highly recommended!"
5319366,28134249,2015-03-18,12156541,Elizabeth,"We had a great time at Kim's place. Great location in the Travis Heights area. Stayed here for SXSWi and it worked perfectly. Close to highway - close to South Congress - close to downtown. 

The home itself was great. Clean, spacious, lovely decor, etc. 

The un-pictured bedroom is a converted study with a small, cot-like twin bed. Though the room itself was comfortable, definitely a makeshift 4th bedroom. 

Lovely deck and backyard area. Close drive to/from airport. 
"
4116088,21244859,2014-10-13,6759162,Nishant,"Hermitage is a really cozy room. It felt very homely right to the smallest details. The room is spotless, charming and well appointed. Sarah is very pleasant and instrumental in making our stay truly comfortable. 
As soon as we reached Sarah was there to greet us and showed us around the place. When it rained the other day, we had 2 Umbrellas on our door steps. These very small things showcases the caring nature of Sarah.

Bus stop is just 3 minutes walk which takes you to UT or Downtown quick.  If you are coming for ACL, the metro bus takes you directly to ACL free shuttles. Usually I take a cab back when it is late night, but one night I did use the bus. Though it is fairly close to Downtown and UT, this place is peaceful at its best.
Breakfast was amazing and wholesome. I would prefer to stay in Hermitage rather than take a hotel in Austin Central or South area."
4116088,22414704,2014-11-05,2620749,Ricky,"Sarah was a very gracious, kind and accommodating host.  The neighborhood was quiet and within walking distance of many great shops. The room was clean, comfortable and she had thought of everything we might need or want.  Breakfast was incredibly delicious, they are wonderful cooks and had lots of other great food on hand.  I would definitely recommend this place. We had a wonderful time."
4116088,22638134,2014-11-10,15790173,Lesley,"My experience staying with Sarah was superb. Sarah made us feel very welcome as soon as we stepped through the door, which was very encouraging for a first time airbnb user. The room was lovely and clean, and the breakfast the following morning ( while it was mentioned in the listing I had forgotten about it) was delicious. The location was close to many restaurants and bars, and when we decided to go into downtown Austin the house wasn't more then a 5-10 minute drive in ($10 uber ride). I would highly recommend this this adorable little cottage to anyone and if I were going back anytime soon I would consider staying with Sarah again."
4116088,25534463,2015-01-18,10733446,Lorenzo,"I only spent one night at Sarah's and I wish I had more time. Sarah is very helpful and friendly. We had nice chat in the evening after dinner and during breakfast which, btw was delicious. The place is great, well organized, cosy and super clean. The area is a charming residential area with single family houses from the 30'. Walk distance from a good selection of bras and restaurants. Also the university and Capitol are within walking distance. All in all, this is the perfect place to explore and enjoy Austin. I would definitely recommend it!!"
4116088,27881360,2015-03-14,27235216,Marylen,"Sarah and her family are wonderful hosts! They made our stay in Austin perfect! We loved staying at her comfy Hermitage, enjoyed chatting with her at breakfast (which was great!), going on bike rides during the neighborhoud. Highly recommend to take a look at her art - it´s fantastic!"
4116088,28404046,2015-03-23,17561998,Sarah,"Sarah and Chris were great hosts and the accommodations were absolutely lovely. My boyfriend and I stayed for a weekend and had a great private bedroom, bathroom and eating/living room area. The food prepared each morning was delicious and such a treat. The backyard of this house is amazing... feels like you're outside the city but still so close to all the fun and excitement. I would recommend this location without hesitation and I would stay here again if I go to Austin again!"
4116088,29006795,2015-04-02,28982134,Christina,"This cottage is lovely. It’s very nicely furnished, and situated in a secluded backyard in a central residential neighborhood, with a bus line and several places to eat within short walking distance. Sarah is relaxed, friendly, and quick to share her knowledge of Austin. She was kind enough to wait up when I arrived late at night, pick up a copy of the Chronicle for me to read, and prepare some food that I could take when I left early in the morning. Every breakfast included a selection of simple, tasty things to choose from. (On Sunday Chris made excellent migas--they’re the only migas I’ve ever had, but I can say with confidence that they were excellent.) If I need a place to stay in Austin again, I’ll check to see if the Hermitage is available first."
4116088,29954166,2015-04-14,2343494,Mike,"Sarah was a very welcoming host and was always willing to stop for a chat and to offer advice if we asked her. The Hermitage is a comfortable cottage in her beautiful, peaceful garden. It was exactly as described in the brief with the added bonus for us of two friendly cats. We felt very safe in the leafy family neighbourhood. Her breakfasts were superb with delicious food and thoughtful presentation. Thank you Sarah. Hopefully we'll be back some day. "
4116088,31139771,2015-05-02,31744084,Nyssa,"I wholeheartedly recommend staying at the Hermitage. The room itself is spacious and detached from the main house, so it feels private.  I ate before the self-serve breakfast, so Sarah put out just what I wanted each day. It felt very indulgent! Sarah was a wonderful host, and I enjoyed the opportunities we had to talk. The house is in a lovely neighborhood, with its own restaurants and coffeeshops, but it's also close to downtown Austin nightlife. It was a treat to stay there, and I would definitely do it again!"
4116088,31389097,2015-05-04,31930600,Katherine,"We loved staying at the Hermitage! The space is very charming and comfortable - it's like a private, spacious one-room cottage nestled in Sarah's beautiful backyard. The neighborhood is quiet and residential, and also walking distance from a bunch of things to do, including a great bakery, restaurants, and a grocery store. It's also very close to a bus line; it was a perfect location for us during our stay. 

We got in late at night but Sarah had provided helpful instructions and notes so we were able to easily find our way to the Hermitage and make ourselves at home. Sarah is a great host and the breakfast she provided was delicious (with a variety of options to choose from, including awesome migas on Sunday morning). We really enjoyed talking with her over breakfast and we would love to stay here again next time we're in Austin!"
4116088,32345680,2015-05-17,21927973,Mike,"A little quaint cottage secluded in a backyard patio in a quiet, but community-like atmosphere... This is one of the best airbnb experiences I have had to date, and it will certainly be hard to top.  Sarah and Chris make sure that every detail is taken care of, including a quite luxurious breakfast each day.  Austin is seeming to have a rainy spell, so Sarah left me an umbrella, which was super appreciated.  Also, there is an awesome bakery close by, and Sarah loaned me a coffee mug to get a refill price.  They were very interesting to talk to.  I'm moving to Austin (hence this trip), so I likely won't be staying here again, but I look forward to seeing them again, and when my parents come to town, I will certainly suggest that they stay here!"
2926298,15351876,2014-07-07,16995661,Eric,Great looking house! 5 minute walk down to the river and a short 10 minute drive to the marina's to get out on the lake. House had nice modern touches and the owner John was easy to get in touch with and very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. Would definitely rent again.
2926298,16935651,2014-08-04,13313197,Christopher,"Had a pleasant stay at John's house this last weekend. The household was immaculately clean, everything shown in the picture was exactly what I got in person. There were more than enough areas for my group to sleep comfortably, the spacious house was definitely a plus. The area is very peaceful and quiet, it was probably one of the best locations Ive stay as of recent. John was a good host, that provided many options and activities for our wedding party. "
2926298,27987899,2015-03-16,6169121,Lia,"The listing was accurate and the house was very lovely. My family stayed here for several nights for my wedding and had a great time. The house was clean, the back patio had a nice view, and the master bedroom was amazing. 

John was very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this house!"
2926298,28960245,2015-04-01,27962542,Lisa,The house was very nice and clean and John was very accommodating and kind. Great host!
2926298,33300588,2015-05-26,14685889,Andrew,"The house was incredible with everything we needed and then some. If you plan on using the lake it is a great place to stay although it is about a 30 minute drive to the city if you plan on going downtown one night. There is a pool, volleyball court, and tennis/basketball court near the front entrance of the neighborhood. I didn't need to call john once about an issue or a problem, as he provided me with all of the information I needed before I arrived. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the lake Austin area. "

It was everything we needed for a great weekend in Austin. I would definitely recommend staying at Evan's apt."

5046147,28073040,2015-03-17,8833247,Taylor,"Evan was a fantastic host. He was communicative and timely with any logistical coordination we had to do like exchanging keys for his apartment and responding to my questions about anything. 

He was prepared with a helpful sheet with wifi info, bus routes and Lyft coupons. Perfect for a tired traveler. 

The apartment was very clean and comfortable. There were also a multitude of bus routes within short waking distance to make it easy to get around Austin. 

I would highly recommend that anyone consider staying at Evan's apartment if they are in the Austin area. "
5046147,28486320,2015-03-24,13070055,Christoffer,"Me and three friends stayed at Evans during SXSW and it was great! Evan is a really nice host and the place is clean and has everything you need for a nice stay. We checked out at different times due to different flights, and Evan was fine with that which was much appriciated! I'm happy stay there again if he will let us ;-)"
5046147,29942666,2015-04-14,27874127,Evan,"Evan was a very helpful host, and the place was clean and cosy :)

There are shops and a Whataburger around the corner which were great!"
5046147,30422916,2015-04-21,16647917,Michelle,"Evan is a great host! Fast response, great recommendations, VERY accommodating, and helpful. The place was exactly as shown in the pics, clean, and well really nicely located in Austin. He left the entire place open to our use (including his firestick, which was awesome for watching movies), and made checking in and out a breeze! Our trip was short, but I'd highly recommend staying here to anyone regardless of length of trip. What a great experience! "
5046147,31350978,2015-05-04,189883,Tatiana,Great place. Evan was very accommodating in terms of check in/check out timing. Overall great experience!

5046147,33296411,2015-05-26,26736973,Mario,"Evan was an excellent host. He was able to arrange for us to gain entry to the apartment when he wasn't available, and upon arrival everything was very clean and taken care of. I liked that we were a short drive from downtown, and the fenced in complex with gated entry made me us feel secure at night in a new city. I would highly recommend this be your choice to stay in Austin. "
5046147,37522886,2015-07-07,37067498,Callie,"Evan was wonderful! Communicates exceptionally well and very accommodating for check in and check out. The apartment is convenient to downtown shopping, the green belt (for hiking, kayaking, swimming, Sculpture falls), great restaurants, and of course fabulous coffee shops! I highly recommend Evan’s place and visiting Austin! "
5046147,40036650,2015-07-27,14044713,Doug & Joyce,"After reading all of the other reviews there is not much to add.
This is a great and comfortable place to stay while in Austin.
Very easy to get to S. Congress St. and to downtown.
Evan is very nice and responsive. Thank you Evan for the nice stay."
5046147,46224120,2015-09-08,6548474,Marisa,"While we didn't get to meet Evan, we really felt at home in Austin and had a great time! Evan was flexible with our check-in time and made logistics really easy. The apartment is pretty much just like in the pictures: plain but comfortable and fully-equipped with everything you'll need. Location-wise, it was easy to get everywhere we needed (he posted bus and uber/lyft information, though we just drove ourselves), and the neighborhood felt safe. It felt like staying in a friend or family member's apartment, which we appreciated. Thanks for hosting us, Evan!"
5046147,48834957,2015-09-28,10753244,Chris,Great stay! Evan was very informative. 
5046147,49726687,2015-10-05,19250298,Angelline,"Great place to stay! Evan's a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Comfortable and extremely convenient, especially if you are spending time downtown. Would stay there again for sure. "
5046147,50636419,2015-10-13,17315199,Diego,Evan's place was perfect! We needed somewhere with a location easy to get around Austin and hassle free. The bed was really comfortable and it was super convenient to have parking space available at all times. The place was also very clean when we got there and seemed safe since it's all gated. Thanks Evan! Looking forward to another visit!
5046147,52272721,2015-10-27,20520670,Jo,Evan was a great host. He made the entire process extremely easy from booking to checkout and was very friendly. The apartment was very nice and the perfect size for me and my friend. It was also very easy for us to get to and from Downtown and South Congress - great experience overall.
1507941,10170953,2014-02-03,2571457,Tony,"Amazing stay, could not have been happier with the place. Two thumbs up"

1507941,10823348,2014-03-09,2131694,Jamie,"We had a very complicated situation with folks coming and going for the two nights we rented Chris's Guesthouse near Manor Rd, but he was very accommodating with the key exchange and everything.  

Chris gave my alternate key fetcher a tour of the house and she had wonderful things to say about it.  

It's bigger than it looks in the photos and there were various hide-a-beds already made up with linens that we ended up needing!  The pull out sofa was the most comfy I have ever slept upon.  I didn't know that was possible!  

The hosts left us freshly baked sugar cookies and the fridge had a variety of beer, sodas and water!  

The garage apartment is nicely set up in the back yard and you have plenty of privacy from the main house and neighbors.  There was plenty to keep us entertained while we were there - air hockey, pool table, huge flatscreen tv, etc...

Manor Rd has lots of cool options and is easily walkable from the guest house!

I recommend this place to anyone.

Thanks!
Jamie

1507941,10839887,2014-03-10,2416309,Wela,"We really enjoyed our stay at Chris' place, it was perfect. We were six people and it worked out really great with two big beds that fit two and two pull out couches. The bathroom was immaculate and plenty of towels were provided. Chris' place is decorated with love and is filled many fun features including a pool / air hockey table, drum set and a guide of restaurants / buses that he put together for guests. Chris was also very generous in providing us with fruits and beers and coffee / tea. I would highly recommend Chris' place for anyone visiting Austin!"
1507941,10982933,2014-03-16,5739309,Christopher,"This place is fantastic on all fronts.  Chris and his wife were very kind and helpful, the apt. was clean and as immaculate as it appears in the pictures.

1507941,11801606,2014-04-15,10034313,Elizabeth,"Super cute, clean and comfortable guest house in a safe and friendly walkable neighborhood with several great restaurants close by.  Chris and his wife were always very helpful, reliable and prompt.  Loved my stay there!"
1507941,13111313,2014-05-19,8992021,Joe,"Wonder place-If you are into clean this is the place to go.  Christopher is an excellent host.
"
1507941,13368530,2014-05-26,14949935,Chris,This property is really nice and quite comfortable. Its location is close enough to all the downtown hot spots yet very quiet. Enjoyed breakfast on the deck. Chris was there to greet us when we arrived and suggested several things to do in Austin. I would definitely stay here again!
1507941,14125284,2014-06-12,15535311,James,"Great place to stay!  The facility was top notch, well decorated and very guest friendly.  The unit has many windows so it is a nice, cheery space.  Located on a quiet street close to numerous coffee shops, restaurants and bars. The kitchen is well equipped so cooking is an option.  Short drive to the university, the LBJ museum, the capital, the Texas history museum.  Chris is a very good host - met us on arrival, showed us around, explained the TV and other audio visual.
Highly recommend.  Hope the place is available for our next trip to Austin."
1507941,14332725,2014-06-16,16750568,Ruben,"First and foremost, Christopher was an awesome host and was always available for any questions or concern.  The place was just as expected and had a ll the amenities we needed plus more.  The bed was extremely comfortable and everything was clean and fresh.  The place was super close to downtown and 6th street, no more than a 10 min drive.  I will definitely stay here again in the future."
1507941,17770585,2014-08-17,2106935,Tina,"We have stayed at the Guest House now 2 times in the last 6 months.  This place is immaculate! Has everything you need. We love the location (very convenient to UT) and for getting around overall in Austin. We love how peaceful it is and yet it is so close to everything.  Christopher is an excellent host. GREAT communication prior to our stay and was available if needed during our stay as well.  My son slept on the sofa bed both stays and said it's the most comfortable sofa bed he has slept on.  Super nice TV, great kitchen. Though the hosts are close it is very private.  Nice size bedroom. The air hockey is a lot of fun too (and a unique addition)!  Nice neighborhood as well as I went running every morning in the area.  My favorite part of the stay was coming back for a run and sitting out on the porch in the mornings.  The hosts go above and beyond for their guests and have a created a great home away from home.  I can't think of anything we needed. We look forward to seeing them again in the future!  ENJOY!"
1507941,20832544,2014-10-06,20616087,Corey,"We had an excellent experience staying at Christopher's guest house! He was extremely accommodating and the house was exactly as described, and very clean. The bed was really comfortable too! It was perfect for our Austin weekend getaway for the Baylor/UT game with another couple. Lots of close restaurants and bars -- and within walking distance of the stadium. We would definitely stay here again!"
1507941,21280305,2014-10-14,13219511,Navin,"Chris was super helpful and very friendly. Although we arrived really late he stayed up to greet us personally. We were going to ACL, he left us chairs to use at the festival, gave us tips on how to get around. Overall great host & a great place to stay. Also the place is close to some lovely restaurants. "
1507941,21616139,2014-10-20,21888429,Tony And Laura,"Stayed one night with my two teenage sons (groomsmen) to prepare for wedding day.  It seemed every time we needed something, it was always in reach!  Great space with great entertainment amenities keeping us occupied!  From the appliances to the towels, everything was clean and organized.  Worked out to be a great G-Rated bachelor night leaving us wanting for nothing.

Thanks, Christopher!!"
1507941,21960219,2014-10-27,15184137,Michelle,"We had a great stay! The location was perfect for visiting our son at UT. The apartment was clean, well-stocked with basic needs and had a number of cool extras - like an air hockey table and video games for our boys to enjoy. Chris made everything very easy and accommodating. We'll definitely be back for future visits. "
1507941,22353786,2014-11-04,10238831,Dan,"We stayed at Chris's guest house for the formula one gp. This was a great location (2.5 miles from downtown, easily accessible by bus) and a beautiful place. It is a beautifully designed fully separate, completely private and complete apartment behind Chris's house. The house is clean and well appointed and had every thing we needed. The hospitality was great - Chris let us know everything we needed to know about the place and the area and even had some beer in the fridge for us. This is a true 5 out of 5 and we look forward to staying here again in the future. "
1507941,22593927,2014-11-10,22197512,Kevin,"The property was perfect for my wife, baby and dog. The host was welcoming and accommodating. The enclosed yard worked well for the dog to get outside without us having to worry. The separate bedroom worked perfectly for us to put the baby to sleep earlier while my wife and I stayed up a bit later. The property is walking distance to multiple restaurants and bars as well. I would definitely recommend this property."
1507941,22883757,2014-11-17,14159758,Bear,"Once again, great all around. 

A great place to stay inside and out. The host couldn't be nicer and more helpful even mentioning some new restaurants that had opened since the last time we had been there.

The place is just like the picture shows - who wouldn't want to stay there?

Walking distance to coffee/breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. "
1507941,28067323,2015-03-17,750365,Bret,"An Airbnb experience at its best. Christopher was welcoming, met me even though my flight arrived late, and the place was wonderful and exactly as described. Christopher and his wife even had the kitchen stocked with coffee, fresh bagels, and pretty much everything else I needed. The place is charming, clean, and everyone else you could possibly want. The only downside is that it's slightly too far to walk to downtown (I was there for SXSW) but if you have a car (or Uber, like I did) it's only a few minutes away. Great place, very gracious host."
1507941,28268078,2015-03-21,6519469,Alexander,"Chris' house was the perfect place to stay during sxsw. It's walking distance from a lot of great bars and restaurants in Austin's East side, and a short uber into downtown. 

The house was extremely clean, the rooms spacious and Chris made the stay in Austin very easy. Would definitely stay again. "
1507941,28471503,2015-03-24,12118952,Nicole,"Chris is a wonderful host who made us feel right at home! We had fresh soft cookies to welcome us. The apartment was very clean, stocked with the essentials and beyond, and incredibly comfortable. The entertainment system made for a perfect movie night when we were ready to stay in. We were so impressed by the attention to detail, and would absolutely love to stay here again!"
1507941,30359368,2015-04-20,31104198,Zachary,"Christopher was very accommodating, I hit traffic on the way down and ended up showing up later than expected, he was running late to leave town but made sure to show me around. The place was great and clean and had everything you'd ever need, multiple places to sleep and even beer in the fridge. The neighborhood was peaceful and Manor road had a bunch of cool restaurants and a few bars. Cab rides to downtown/6th street were short and cheap. This was my first Airbnb experience and my first time in the city and I would definitely recommend this place. "
1507941,30899254,2015-04-28,1386231,Ken,"Christopher's a great host. Very thoughtful and accommodating. The guest house is awesome, it's super clean and fully stocked with everything you need from a Playstation to beer stocked in the fridge! 
The area around the house was quite lively with all sorts of cool restaurants and bars on Manor Rd. and it's a super quick Uber ride to downtown Austin.
Thanks for an awesome stay Christopher!

1507941,47796904,2015-09-21,5340601,Emily,"This was probably our best Airbnb experience ever! Chris and Victoria were lovely and welcoming, and the accommodations were first-class. There was absolutely nothing that they didn't think of. We had coffee, bagels, orange juice, cream cheese, oatmeal. It was truly a treat. And tailgating with them before the UT-Cal game was a blast. Hope we have an opportunity to return!"
1507941,48841943,2015-09-28,38970702,Lee,"Fantastic apartment. It was immaculately clean, and very spacious. The kitchen was fully equipped and stocked. Comfortable bed, and the pull out bed was also very comfortable. Neighbourhood is very nice and centrally located. Chris is very communicative and helpful, passing along Austin tips to the uninitiated. Would highly recommend staying here. Perfect location especially if in town for a UT game. "
1507941,49785496,2015-10-06,5181323,Tina,"Chris's place was perfect for our girls' getaway. We were a group of 4 and 2 of slept on the queen bed, 1 on the single bed, and the other on the sleeper. It felt very private as we had our own space and it felt very homey. Chris should consider getting into hospitality because he thought of everything! The kitchen was stocked with bagels, fruits, coffee/tea. The refrigerator had bottled water, filtered water, OJ, sodas, even chilled mugs for beer. There were plenty of linens, toiletries, hair dryer (very important!). There was an air hockey table and TV for our entertainment. The list goes on. 
Though we did not have much interaction, Chris was available via text and quick to respond, which we really appreciated.
The location was residential, had plenty of parking, but was a quick drive to UT and downtown."
1507941,50747619,2015-10-14,3676835,Sandie,"Christopher left work to meet and welcome us. He was gracious and explained everything. The house was very clean and well stocked. It is private with mature trees all around. It is absolutely beautiful and almost looks new. Hardwood floors, a tall cedar ceiling, granite and stainless kitchen, pretty wall colors. The neighborhood is in transition but little coffee bars and an excellent restaurant are moving in and we felt very comfortable. A local bus to everything downtown is close by and downtown is just 10 mins. away. We had a car but ended up taking Uber for $9. We drove to Hill Country, San Marcos and San Antonio for day trips. We loved the house, the location and our stay. Can't recommend enough. Just go. You'll love it. "
2488976,49797380,2015-10-06,4490676,Ignacio,"I would definitely stay again in this house where owner Neeraj and Alex (his friend) were super friendly, laid back and easygoing ... 
This is Airbnb at its best, a community of like-open-minded people, who value communicating and meeting others ...

7310138,41135293,2015-08-04,20784379,Michiko,"Jennifer and her husband were very welcoming and understanding. Their home felt very relaxing, comforting, clean, good vibe, and accommodating to their guests. The neighborhood was also very peaceful, clean and relaxing. They made sure everything was provided in their home needed for their guests, more so than a hotel. The smallest things such as references on austin, to small amenities made a difference. I would definitely recommend their place over a hotel. "
7310138,41830619,2015-08-09,39081961,Mimi,Jenn and her husband are very friendly and welcoming people. They made my visit to Austin a comfy and easy stay. The house was decorated nicely and every expectation was met.

7310138,45832231,2015-09-06,23085103,Susanna,"The description was spot on! The house was so pretty and clean. Jenn and her husband were super nice people. The room and bed were so comfortable. There are amenities everywhere which was so welcoming. It was like staying with a friend who had all the products you typically use. The location was so incredibly convenient, probably like a 15 min drive from the airport and downtown, and like a 35 min drive to all the beautiful state park spots, lakes/watering holes! If I'm ever back in Austin I will definitely stay here again!!!"
7310138,49178106,2015-10-01,43213294,Nicolás,"It was a very good experience, the house is very clean and you have anything that you can to need. The neighbourhood is quiet. I didn't have much time to know Jenn but she´s friendly."
7310138,49524291,2015-10-04,4668816,Sylvia,Jenn was a wonderful hostess! Unfortunately we never actually met in person since we were in and out at different times. But her instructions were very helpful and our stay was really pleasant. The house is beautiful. The room was really well kept and the bed was comfy. She provided snack and water which I thought was super thoughtful! Definitely recommend staying with her :).

Love all the decors all over the house. They were really quite and since we were there on a weekday, we didn't get to chat with her much but the few minutes that we did she's a sweetheart.  The room and the entire house are really clean and love the decor! I highly recommend her listing, you won't regret it, a true southern hospitality experience.  Thank you again."
2355556,49733825,2015-10-05,45310751,Sergei,"It was a pretty cool place to stay. Close to downtown, close to 6th street. 

Jacquelyn and her friends are also super chill, and very helpful.  "
2355556,50554960,2015-10-12,14087319,Michelle,We had a great stay at this wonderfully eclectic home in Austin. Location was quite convenient and Jaquelyn was a very easygoing hostess.

5484573,30851267,2015-04-27,31938110,Johnny,Simultaneously very professional and personable. Was quick to respond to my request and provided everything that was needed. Host was extremely flexible to ensure my stay was comfortable.
5484573,32011961,2015-05-12,31869043,Ralph,"Sandy was very welcoming, and so were her two adorable kitties. Was in town for Austin Psych Fest and was literally only minutes away from Downtown Austin! Everything was as described, Private Room with a shared bathroom, would definitely stay here again! "
5484573,36627615,2015-06-29,4868518,Tiff,"Sandy was absolutely wonderful and a fantastic host. She welcomed us even though we arrived super late at night, gave us a huge list of recommendations for things to do in the city, and encouraged us to make ourselves at home. We were minutes away from downtown Austin, and given the sweltering heat, it was heaven walking back into a cosy air-conditioned apartment with 2 of the sweetest cats I've ever met in my life.

The room itself was very comfortable and super neat - exactly as described. She also offered us a huge stack of fresh towels to use, which was really great. Staying with and getting to know Sandy was a joy, and I would definitely come back next time I'm in Austin :)"
5484573,42096191,2015-08-10,13203951,Keanen,"Sandy's place was very nice, felt right at home here. Loved the cats too."
5484573,46099433,2015-09-07,43335989,Tim,Sandy's place was great.  She made me feel at home right away.   
5484573,49836368,2015-10-06,35034414,Jonathan,"I enjoyed my stay at Sandy's apartment. Her apartment is close to downtown, the eastside, and south congress. I used Lyft/Uber and wasn't no more than 10 minutes away from any destination. Sandy and her boyfriend are very friendly and welcoming. Plenty of street parking around the apartment. "
5484573,50576601,2015-10-12,45809567,Alison,"Sandy was an amazing host! She made my first Airbnb experience nothing but great!! She was so sweet and welcoming, she even made us coffee one morning! She made sure we were aware that we could use anything and everything in the house! And who can forget those funny looking cats!! "
5484573,52142549,2015-10-26,26416348,Jemma,Sandy's place was perfect for exploring Austin with easy access to all the best areas. She was very welcoming and helpful. Would stay here again if in the area.
878475,3771662,2013-03-13,4364577,Dan,"Melinda's Austin home is a warm and inviting place to stay. Everything was clean, well decorated, and homely. Very good distance to downtown!"
878475,3814447,2013-03-18,4647005,Matt,"This was the ideal retreat during the chaos of SxSW — tranquil and homely, very relaxing and with all amenities. Melinda was away during my stay but her friends Paddy and Darren really looked out for me. I'd definitely recommend this place."
878475,10905307,2014-03-12,1390161,Andrew,"Melinda couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. I was in town for SXSW and ended up getting dragged out way too late every night. Melinda took it all in stride, which was sincerely appreciate.

Her home was beautiful and I couldn't have asked for better value for the money.

Highly recommend Melinda and her home. "
878475,11012854,2014-03-17,12178201,Jacqueline,"I stayed at Melinda's home during the last weekend of SXSW.  Her home is beautiful (even nicer in person than in the photos!), and was a welcome escape from the chaos and crowds of the festival.  Returning back each night made me feel like I was getting back to my own house (just around 2 thousand miles away).  She kindly bought me some fruit that I gladly munched on in the mornings, and when it was raining she even offered to give me a lift so I didn't get soaked walking to my showcase.

I can't stay enough nice things about Melinda and her home.  She's made me an airbnbeliever."
878475,28167733,2015-03-19,5445478,Jerry,"""Gem"" is an understatement. This is the ideal room for an easy, authentic, and walkable Austin experience. 

The room itself has plenty of space to stretch, and the private bathroom is an appreciated touch. The location is impossible to beat: ~10 minute walk downtown, ~5 minute walk to East 6th restaurants & bars, and ~5 minute walk to the nearest B-cycle station.

Could not be happier with my decision to stay here!
"
878475,49913668,2015-10-07,5540557,Michelle,"This place was exactly what I was looking for. Great location, private bath, quiet, and a comfy bed. Everything was very clean. I attended a conference, so walking to the convention center made for a beautiful start of the day. Also, returning from the hustle and bustle, this place felt like a green lush oasis with squirrels and birds. Melinda was very nice, accommodating and flexible, she even allowed me to cook dinner one evening. I would definitely stay at her place again if I were to go back to Austin. "
5371233,28135501,2015-03-18,20331018,Jon,"This condo is located in downtown and it's perfect for SXSW.  The host Mari was helpful and professional, and she even left some food in the fridge for us.  The condo was clean, beautiful and in great condition, and the towels, linens and other items in the condo seemed brand new.   I would highly recommend this condo for a downtown location in Austin! "
5371233,28842099,2015-03-30,18161269,Andy,"Mari's place was in great condition and just as pictured! Our arrival and link up was extremely flexible, the place was very easy to access with coded gates and door, and we were even welcomed with a stocked refrigerator. Great location with balcony overlooking 4th St. and walking distance to everything you could need. Only issue we had was that although we could see the wifi on the network list, it didn't work for the entire duration of our stay. Other than that, no issues and I would definitely recommend. Thanks Mari!"
5371233,31445970,2015-05-05,19937663,Katelyn,"Mari was a great host and the condo was gorgeous! Her assistant was easily accessible and made sure we got into the condo okay.  It was a close 2 walk block from 6th street where all the action was! The condo was clean and not only came with the essentials (towels, sheets etc) but also had a few extras to make us feel comfortable (shampoo, toothpaste, soap etc)!  Everything about the experience was great! Thanks again!"

5371233,48740778,2015-09-28,42509466,Justin,"Little interaction with host, instructions for parking/entrance very easy to follow.  Place was kept very clean.  Great location for quickly walking downtown.  5 stars, would Airbnb again."
5774989,29797894,2015-04-12,29468486,Ashley,From the beginning of inquiring/ booking Pats place he was nothing but prompt and accommodating! His townhouse is very spacious and less than 6 miles from the SoCo neighborhood where we explored that night. Austin is a great place to visit and Patrick's home was a great place for us to stay while exploring the city! The room was cozy and cool and the bathroom was very clean. He wasn't really home when we were there so it was very private. Thank you again for your hospitality Pat! 
5774989,31862939,2015-05-10,27972230,Saba,I would highly recommend for anyone coming through Austin. I felt safe and comfortable. I appreciated having my own little space. Patrick is incredibly courteous and nice. I appreciate how quick he communicated with me and he even gave me a ride from the airport. He truly goes the extra mile. 
5774989,32007881,2015-05-12,32503766,Paula,"Patrick's townhouse was very clean and cute! The subdivision was quite and safe, and was gated. It had great access to the areas where we wanted to travel. Patrick made us feel very welcome and was a great conversationalist. The room was perfect size for two, the sheets were freshly washed and the bathroom was well stocked with toiletries. Patrick was very communicative about who would also staying there and when he would be home. "
5774989,32583282,2015-05-19,21386391,Bun,"Great host, Patrick was a cool guy, gave me recommendations on where to go and food to eat.  Highly recommend his place, as it is 15 minutes away from most destinations in Austin, also, place is very clean.  Great place for a weekend get away.  "
5774989,33317839,2015-05-26,4871914,Alex,I felt very well taken care of. A lot of communication via messaging before my arrival to let me know where things were. Patrick is attentive and very nice. Easy to get along with. 
5774989,45216647,2015-08-31,42600920,Philip,"From the start Patrick was very friendly and helpful when it came to navigating Austin. He gave us a clear idea of when he'd be home and where to find everything in the off chance he wasn't there when we arrive. Once we arrived, he was  accommodating and made us feel welcome. 

We initially had planned to go running one morning and he provided a handful of suggestions of places to check out for running. The days ended up being busier than expected so we didn't get a chance to run, but appreciated the effort.

The townhouse was clean and the room worked out great. Thanks again!"
5774989,50605798,2015-10-12,1252056,Yenny,"Patrick is one of the kindest and friendliest host that I have ever seen. The room is clean, cozy and quite close to downtown.We enjoy our stay there. Patrick even offered to make us breakfast but too bad we had to leave early morning for our next journey. We will definitely  stay at Patrick's place again if we visit Austin"
5774989,52237312,2015-10-27,21978904,Christopher,Patrick was a very nice and welcoming host. As my plans delayed and changed he was gracious enough to let me know he had made a pot of coffee for me as it was a cold and rainy weekend. Stayed in contact throughout and despite a last minute change on my end that meant I didn't end up staying Patrick was great communicating and welcoming throughout. Would highly recommend.
5258176,27221232,2015-02-28,10607057,Nick,"Everything was great with the apartment. While I was there all the outside areas were under construction, however they were not around the apartment during the evening so it did not  effect the inside of the apartment or the stay really at all. The apartment was exactly as it was pictured and the host had everything prepared for my arrival. They were very open about everything that was going on around the property. Even flexible on the parking which was awesome! Thanks for the great stay! "
5258176,27800196,2015-03-12,426533,Hannah,"The host was incredibly attentive in getting in touch with me prior to my arrival to ensure that I had all the information I needed to stay in the unit. The unit itself was very simple, clean, and had everything you would want for a longer term (1wk+ stay). This included a fridge, dishes, silverware, coffee for the morning, toiletries, etc. 

While I wish I could leave rave reviews for the place, the biggest frustration I experienced was the level of noise from construction that was taking place around the unit. The host warned me ahead of time about the noise from 6th street bars late at night, but this was nothing compared to the drilling and hammering that started as early as 6:30am several mornings in a row (including on a Saturday morning). I had a friend who was staying with me in the downstairs bed (it's a loft space) and the noise there was so loud and unbearable, that when she first heard it, she actually thought it was coming from the interior of our unit. 

As a result of the noise, I was unable to reliably do work (which involved client phone calls) during the day. This was unfortunate because I was in town specifically for work and so I had to leave the unit during the day to find a place with wifi where I could work quietly and take calls. The host offered me a sound machine to help cancel out the noise (I'm very familiar with these) but there's no way a machine could dampen the sounds that were coming from all around the unit. To give our host credit, she did offer to purchase my friend and I dinner but my friend had left by that time and I was occupied with work functions. 

My recommendation would be to ask the host prior to your arrival for an honest assessment as to whether the construction has been completed. If it has not, I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere. If you're visiting for work and require a quiet place to work and a consistent full night's sleep, this is not the place to stay. "
5258176,30131747,2015-04-18,21114124,Tim,"Great apartment, very spacious and would definitely stay here again!!!"
5258176,41498932,2015-08-07,15558746,Patrick,"Could not have been easier. The host was very descriptive on arrival/departure needs, very responsive and thorough on any questions, as well as provided everything and anything needed for my stay. It was in a perfect location, right in the heart of Downtown, walking distance to most everything. "
5258176,50796440,2015-10-14,36820907,Jesica,"What a great travel experience! The loft was clean, stylish, and convenient to the downtown location. We couldn't have been happier! I was so happy there was a blow dryer! :)"
2338871,22590362,2014-11-10,16968497,Richard,"The house was nice and in a quiet safe area within an easy 10min Taxi or 20min walk to the city center.  Carrie was a very pleasant and accommodating host, her brother Matt was also on hand to help or guide us if she wasn't available. A great place for a trip the Austin."

934182,22275144,2014-11-02,2979086,Sean,"RAZ was awesome! I was in town for the weekend and needed a place to stay last minute, and she made me feel very welcomed; couldn't have been friendlier or more caring. My stay was short, and I just needed a place to shower and sleep while being a close drive to downtown and Circuit of The Americas. I had the small room with the futon cushion as seen in the photos, which was plenty comfortable. Her place is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood too. On a side note, you'll want to know that RAZ is an amazing painter! So be sure to peek around the house at the cool artworks, someday she'll be famous! "
934182,29583539,2015-04-09,30438087,Jade,"I only had the pleasure of meeting RAZ in person once during our stay but I never at once felt anything but perfectly welcome. RAZ's home is a beautiful place and was located in a perfect area that was both convenient and quiet. We felt at home instantly amongst the numerous maps, charts, and paintings. I am a student pursuing a career in neuroscience research and found RAZ's work displayed over the house incredibly interesting. She also has three lovely dogs. My friend and I braved the slack line -- which we conquered. RAZ even made sure that we were safe after a late hike in the Fredericksburg area. Highly recommend this listing and RAZ for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in the Austin area."
934182,32949035,2015-05-23,33461897,William,"Rebecca was AMAZING. 

She was gracious enough to accept me on a very short notice and she went out of her way to make me feel at home. The room was nice and I slept like a rock.

The house was just as described (including some incredible artwork that she does) and I couldn't have asked for a better time. Rebecca is a witty, smart, and wonderful person. Highly recommend!"
320435,999383,2012-03-14,1345786,Amy,"The house is really neat. Retro ranch-style home, very clean, and on a beautiful piece of land. They even have chickens and a vegetable garden! It was an idyllic retreat to rest during our crazy SXSW schedule. Stephanie was very hands on and helpful for anything we needed. Couldn't have asked for a more positive experience."
320435,1023177,2012-03-20,241639,Caleb,"Stephanie has a fantastic property and a beautiful home.  There's lots of room both inside and out, but everything still has a quaint and cozy feel.

The fresh eggs from the chicken coop and the one-on-one yoga class in the living room were huge bonuses!

I highly recommend Stephanie's place!"
320435,3779275,2013-03-14,1730971,George And Megs,"The perfect SXSW hideout, complete with pastoral chickens and a painting which resembles Jesus harvesting agave. 

Bradford and Stephanie were extremely accommodating to our group. This is Austin done right.

We'll definitely back!
George"
320435,11015408,2014-03-17,353498,Marion,"The band I'm in charge had a wonderful time at Stephanie and Bradford's house. Lovely house, very warm reception and very helpful and discreet people. The band got very positive energy at the house for enduring a crazy and awesome SXSW. They would love spending days again in the house for any future plans around Austin!"

1881597,9278307,2013-12-17,10280116,Brandy,"Tracy was an amazing host!  The property was very comfortable, private and relaxing.  Everything on S. Congress was in walking distance.  We were welcomed by fresh baked cookies and a sample of Austin beer in the fridge!  It felt like coming home. I kept saying I want to rent this place year round!  We loved the pooch, he was not at all intrusive, I think I had to call him over so I could pet him. We can't wait to stay again.  This was a perfect get-a-way right before the holiday chaos!

Thank you again for your hospitality Tracy.  "
1881597,9473010,2013-12-30,10419650,Rohan,"My wife and I had a great time staying at Tracy's place in Austin.  Tracy is incredibly responsive.  Any question or query was answered extraordinarily quickly.  She's wonderful.  Moreover the accommodation itself is great.  It's barely a block to the neon-lit hustle-and-bustle of SoCo, but the apartment is removed just enough to ensure total tranquility and privacy.  We're already looking forward to another visit."
1881597,9528857,2014-01-01,10544610,Colby,"We loved the tree house! Tracy was a gracious host. Very nice Place!!! Go eat breakfast at the Magnolia, I had the Texas Benedict, and it was awesome! We would definitely stay here again."
1881597,9556604,2014-01-02,10230560,Paul & Bryan,We stayed at Tracy's Treehouse over Austin's chilly new years eve. We found it to be the perfect spot to spend our holiday.  It was walking distance to plenty of shops and restaurants and a quick cab ride to all the downtown new years madness.  Check in was a breeze.  My only regret is not getting to meet such a great family in person since I was so busy.
1881597,9861152,2014-01-14,5244767,Jen,Tracy was an awesome host.  Very quick to respond to anything and very accommodating.  We were even greeted with warm banana bread.  We loved the house- no complaints what-so-ever.  Perfect location in the SOCO district. Wish we could have stayed more than just a night!  Will definitely stay again if the opportunity ever arises.

Great accommodations."

1881597,11174262,2014-03-24,11705811,Elizabeth,"Four of us had a wonderful weekend stay at Tracy's tree house!  The location is ideal, as it is easy walking distance to all the great things to see, do, and eat on South Congress and the surrounding neighborhood.  Parking was easy and the yard was perfect for having snacks and drinks when we wanted to stay out of the SOCO crowd for a little while.  Tracy is responsive and friendly, and happy to accommodate with anything we needed.  The house was clean and just as pictured.  I highly recommend a visit! "
1881597,11320849,2014-03-30,719734,"Babak, Mark, And River","Cute place, great location!  Cozy and comfortable.  One word of caution for anyone who is claustrophobic:  the lofted bed is very close to the ceiling, much more so than the picture makes it look.  At it's highest point I could touch the ceiling while laying down with my hand and it tapers down towards your feet.  By no means is this a knock against the place, just a heads up for anyone who doesn't deal well with small spaces.  The pull out couch is a good option for those who find the loft too small.  "
1881597,11468936,2014-04-04,3196174,Jamie,"My husband and I desperately needed an escape from this winter's brutal weather - Austin did not disappoint!  Tracy's apartment was the perfect location for us to explore the city and eat at fantastic places around town.  We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch for breakfast in the morning, which had a steady pleasant breeze.  Easy jog up to Austin's running paths along the waterfront.  Tracy was a great host - and fellow foodie!  She helped us when we had questions about getting to the airport and got us a few handy things for the kitchen during our stay, which we really appreciated.  Thanks, Tracy!!"

Tracy was very helpful giving tips and recommendations of places to check out in the city and responded very promptly to all my questions. We loved the space and would definitely stay again if we return to Austin!"

1881597,12609950,2014-05-06,5483830,Amanda,"This is hands-down the best place to stay in Austin!
The treehouse is clean, comfy and cool in the shade.
Tracy was just wonderful and inviting and helped us with everything we needed.
The location is superb with shops just down the street and a 24 hour diner around the corner.  I will definitely be staying here when I revisit Austin in the near future :).

Thanks again, Tracy - you're the best!

Tracy was very easy to communicate with and made great suggestions for eats and local spots to hang with kids.  I will admit, for us the loft was a bit claustrophobic for sleeping, but there is plenty of other space (indoor and out) to make up for it.  Thanks for sharing your home, Tracy!"
1881597,13414149,2014-05-27,2771443,Jenn,"Tracy was a great host. She was responsive to any questions I had and also offered some great restaurant suggestions during our stay. The guest house itself was adorable. I will agree with some of the other reviewers that the upstairs loft bed was a bit claustrophobic, but we just pulled out the couch and slept just as well on that. If you are wanting an Austin city experience, this is the place to stay. Literally steps away from Magnolia and other South Congress must-sees."
1881597,13666170,2014-06-02,11066952,Johanna,"Four friends and I came to Austin for a bachelorette party. I was nervous the tree house would be a bit small, but it ended up being a perfect fit for us. The location could not have been any better. We had easy access to excellent food and cute shops. Parking can sometimes be a hassle in Austin and we never had a problem. Our hostess was very helpful and she might have the cutest dog I have ever seen! "
1881597,13957905,2014-06-09,7250506,Maggie,"Four of us spent a lovely weekend in this cute treehouse apartment and couldn't have asked for a better place in Austin. It was the perfect size for four people and the location is just amazing. It is literally one block from great shops, bars and restaurants (and across the street from a 24 hour diner!). The apartment is clean and quiet and surrounded by a green garden. Tracy was great! She was so welcoming and chill and sent us tips on what do around the neighborhood. She was the best host!"
1881597,14661937,2014-06-23,2280380,Nina,"Absolutely perfect location in the city's coolest neighbourhood.
Nice and clean and cool house, and easy and swift comminucation. Highly recommended!!"
1881597,15264673,2014-07-06,6411621,Neil,"My dog and I couldn't have been happier with our stay at Tracy's place.  The location was beyond convenient to restaurants, bars and the downtown area.  The house itself was very clean and very modern.  Plenty of space for three folks and a dog, and the access to the fenced in yard with outdoor chairs and tables made it feel even bigger.  Tracy was great with communication leading up to our trip and made sure we could get in touch with her if we needed, though she clearly has her act together and anticipated the needs of an average AirBnB'er.  Look forward to staying with Tracy again soon! "
1881597,17471971,2014-08-12,711277,Maria Jose,"We had a great stay here, the yard was perfect for our dog. The one thing I would recommend to anyone staying here is if hey are not comfortable sleeping in the top loft, either drag the bed down to the floor or sleep on the couch. There is very little space and it gets very hot up there in the summer. After moving the bed down to the floor we had an excellent stay, location is excellent. "
1881597,18033693,2014-08-20,1324410,E,The perfect Austin Hideaway!
1881597,18819902,2014-09-01,19462384,Jake,"Tracy was extremely welcoming and helpful even before we arrived (offering helpful info and places to check out). This place is top notch. The location is one of the best features of this place being a block away from S. Congress. The photos show a pretty accurate depiction of the place in general. Obviously they wanted to represent the place in the best light, but the back is not as picturesque as in the photos. We visited in the heat of August so the loft bed proved to be slightly miserable so we set up the bed on the floor in front of the window unit. Any other time of the year, it would probably be comfortable to sleep in the loft. Also, the internet was not really working and proved to be a frustration. It was nice though because it allowed my wife and I to talk or read without the distraction of the internet or TV. All in all though, this place is pretty amazing and I can't imagine a better location."
1881597,20739357,2014-10-05,17812695,Lara,"We stayed in both the tree house and the main house for a bachelorette weekend and had a fantastic time.  Tracy was great – she called me the morning of check-in and updated me on a few things, and answered some of my lingering questions about Austin.  We were in communication throughout the weekend when we needed to be, and she always got back to me quickly.

When we got to the house, there was a welcome package on the table and everything was ready for us to settle in.  The house was clean, yet laid-back, so it was perfect for a group of girls on a bachelorette trip!  

The neighborhood was fantastic, we really enjoyed walking down Congress and off onto the side streets to look at all the houses.  Really accessible to downtown, unless you are wearing your stilettos.  We took cabs/uber and got to downtown in a few minutes - so easy!  Great times in Austin!"
1881597,21129739,2014-10-12,13285282,Anant,We stayed here on the second weekend of Austin City Limits and had a great time.  The place was located in the perfect area for us. There are a lots of restaurants in the area and getting to 6th street was easy. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio in beautiful Austin weather. We will definitely be keeping this place in mind the next time we're in Austin!
1881597,22567277,2014-11-09,23358736,Dan,"Tracy was beyond amazing. She was sweet, down to earth, more than accommodating, and generally a pretty amazing person. The next time I come back to Austin I'll be coming back to her, seriously. This was my first airbnb experience and I can't imagine it to be better. "
1881597,22841038,2014-11-16,3040768,Adam,"Tracy was so warm and welcoming. Her bungeloo was perfect for our weekend in Austin. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and in a perfect location in S Congress.  We will definately be staying here again on our next trip to Austin. 

Thanks again Tracy!"
1881597,24993933,2015-01-04,6468658,Emily,"Staying at Tracy's treehouse was a great experience!  She sent me a detailed email with all the parking, check in and other additional email that I might need for our stay.  When we arrived, everything was as expected and the treehouse was extremely clean and cozy.  The packet left on the table was also very helpful and we only had to strip the bedding and start a load of laundry before leaving.  Thanks again Tracy!! If I am ever in Austin again, I will definitely try and stay at the treehouse again! :)"
1881597,26701689,2015-02-17,26902867,Carolyn,"Tracy was so welcoming and responsive to every question that we had. On arrival, there was even a little Austin welcome package that made such a lasting impression!
The location of the treehouse is 2nd to none! It was so convenient to get to downtown and the areas surrounding Austin."
1881597,26965692,2015-02-22,27915594,Arty,"This place was a great find. Location is prime and it is within walking distance of some of the great shops and restaurants of South Congress. Really enjoyed how quaint the house was and I feel like our group had much more fun being bundled together in the house as opposed to having to split up and get pricy hotels downtown. If you're looking to host a group of people that had never been to Austin before (as I was doing) , this place is perfect and has the uniqueness that the rest of Austin conveys and what I think people are looking for when they come to Austin. Even though I had booked this only a few days before our trip, Tracy had everything completely ready for us, clear instructions provided, and even had cookies and beverages awaiting us when we arrived. Would for sure stay here again."
1881597,27909897,2015-03-14,1605357,Blake,"easy check-in, awesome place -- definitely try to stay here if you're looking for a cool spot in Austin"
1881597,28071359,2015-03-17,12051238,Chad,"What a great spot!! This ""treehouse"" is very well appointed and in a perfect spot just south of SoCo's busier area (which is just the sort of slightly more relaxed environment after attending SXSW). 

Everything is clean and in great working order, with any needed comforts (air, extra heaters, blankets, fans, etc.) already provided. 

Tracy was a very gracious hostess, and I'd gladly stay here or in one of her other properties again.

Tracy, perhaps I'll see you next year!"
1881597,28251351,2015-03-21,15721389,Alexandre,We had a super good stay there and location was perfect in south congress. We'll come back for sure.
1881597,31217971,2015-05-03,7403242,Stacy,"Tracy is a great host....very warm and hospitable.  She communicated perfectly and in a timely manner before my arrival, explaining location, the fact that she has a dog and a young son, and how to access the unit.  When I arrived, there was a lovely welcome amenity package of wine, chips and salsa, a map and guide book.  I had my 14 week old puppy with me and she was super cool about her.  At one point, the internet was very slow and she spent several hours on the phone with ATT to correct the issue and I never experience another problem.  The location is a great....one block off of South Congress and within walking distance to restaurants, shops and food trucks.  I had a great time!"
1881597,33473372,2015-05-28,2332430,Glenn,Great spot! Cafe behind is awesome for a big breakfast! A lot of stuff around the hood!
1881597,35052978,2015-06-14,29064554,Everett,"Tracy could not have been more accommodating.  She communicated so well and there were well-conceived goodies in the refrigerator and kitchen.  It took a few minutes to find the place in the dark; suggest providing more specific instructions (e.g., take the driveway between this and that house) and a bit more lighting in the walkway.  The backyard is neat.  Love the lights.  The kids thought the upstairs was cool and comfortable.  Bathroom very small.  Not a problem for us but might be for larger folks.  Bottom line: thumbs up.  What stood out most was the hostess and the uniqueness of the place. "
1881597,35761348,2015-06-21,6671802,Gemma,"We booked this very last mintue and the host was very accommodating and gave us great information at short notice about the house and area. We had no problem checking in at all and the place was very clean and bright. The only thing we would have liked is a little more private time, we know her son only wanted to play with ours but Sunday morning at 9.30am on father's day we where trying to have a family breakfast and he was shaking on the door handle so I opened and said to come back latter but he tried to push in so I shut the door and he continued banging the handle. But we would really recommend this place and it was very nice."
1881597,36484132,2015-06-28,23757762,Alexandra,"Tracy and the treehouse were both awesome! The place was immaculate and the beds were very, very comfortable. You will be steps from SOCO and everything fun the street has to offer. Stay here if you have the opportunity! I promise you will love it."
1881597,36837128,2015-07-01,36789864,Michelle,"What a great experience.  Not only is the place cozy and well appointed, it is right behind the cafe. Perfect for late night snacks and early breakfast omelets.  The tree house is perfect for a hideaway getaway."
1881597,37239772,2015-07-05,6326568,Alexander,"Everything about this house was perfect and more! From the second we arrived to check out, our experience was seamless and positive. I will absolutely be staying here again."
1881597,37906398,2015-07-11,34071515,Harold,So excited to get to Austin and Tracey's place looked so great online . We were not disappointed ! She was an amazing host and her place is amazing . My partner Andy and our kids have new friends in Tracey and her son ! We'll be back ! 
1881597,38046104,2015-07-12,37278282,Ellen,"Tracy's treehouse was a wonderful place and great location! The place is cute, clean, and comfortable, and is within an easy walk of many great restaurants and shops. It was a great place to have as our home base while we explored Austin! Tracy gave recommendations beforehand of restaurants which we took advantage of - they were excellent. There are great little sitting areas outside upstairs and downstairs as well. I only wish we could have stayed longer!"
1881597,38625336,2015-07-17,47628,Ski,"Wow! I use Air BnB for most trips, and this was the best space yet! All of my Air BnB experiences have been great, so that should give you an idea of how exceptional this experience was. 

My husband was on a work trip, and I was tagging along on vacation. The internet was great for him when he worked from home, and there is an awesome desk in the living area. I drove him back and forth to the office throughout the week, and parking was easy every time.

The space is very comfortable, private, centrally located, and well designed. From this home base, we were able to take nature walks a few blocks away, quick car trips to some of the greatest swimmin' holes the Austin area has to offer, walk to great restaurants and shopping, take quick car trips downtown to museums, etc., enjoy a great neighborhood bar with great music less than a block away- all while enjoying a quiet, private space that felt super homey and tucked away.

This guest house is on the same property with the owner's home, but didn't feel too close. Tracy and her pup, son, and neighbor friends greeted us and made us feel right at home and like part of the family right away. I enjoyed them all and would chat with them whenever I saw them out tending the yard - which was only a couple of times during the week we were there - but she let us know that she would be happy to stay out of our hair, if that was what preferred. 

The outdoor space is wonderful, and part of the reason I chose this lodging. It's shady and pretty and comfortable. It was a really hot week while we were there, but we were comfy and cool enough under the trees.

The guest house has window units upstairs and downstairs, and did a good job keeping the place cool. I am pretty sensitive to heat, so this was an important aspect of the rental that I was very thankful for!

You will be super happy if you choose this guest home for your Austin trip! "
1881597,39867191,2015-07-26,39038584,Andrea,"We had a wonderful time at the Treehouse this past weekend!  The Treehouse is cute and comfortable, and it was a great fit for our family of four.  Tracy and Augustus were welcoming, gracious hosts, and they made our stay a great experience.  We particularly enjoyed spending our mornings in the backyard watching the kids play, and loved being so close to South Congress.  This was our first time to try Airbnb & we'll definitely do it again!"
1881597,40833227,2015-08-02,9472776,Huan (HB),"Tracy, her son, Augustus, and their dog, Bocca were such amazing hosts the entire stay!!! I find their family amazing and they accommodated everything we asked for. The location was perfect since we were in South Congress. It was a walking distance from everything: Coffee shops, food, and hang out spots. Barton springs, 6th street, and Rainey street were nearby using uber ($5-$10) or a drive away. Overall, it was the experience with the hosts that enhanced our love for Austin! "
1881597,42989637,2015-08-16,41154435,Spencer,Excellent!! Very clean and charming.  My wife loved the place and location is prime.  Easily walk to great shops and restaurants. I highly recommend the treehouse and would stay again in a heartbeat! 
1881597,43729007,2015-08-21,21380342,Geneva,"Our stay was Perfect and everything was exactly as described.  It was clean and stocked with everything we needed.  Tracy was kind enough to give us pointers on where to shop, eat and play.  We only had 2 days but squeezed in as much as we could and Loved our time in Austin.  Thank you for allowing us to stay here, we will definitely be back!!"
1881597,46820476,2015-09-13,8783702,Amanda,"The treehouse was exactly as described if not better! My husband and I enjoyed our weekend in Austin and it was enhanced by having a clean, relaxing quiet place to stay. We had everything we needed and the location was fantastic . Tracy was also very responsive to messages. "
1881597,47926325,2015-09-21,3979068,Whitney,"Such an adorable place, it's clean, comfortable and also great location!! Tracy's instructions made it easy to find, we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect! "
1881597,49053638,2015-09-30,4381281,Amy,"This place is amazing! Perfect location being right there in SOCO. Walked to all the shops, had epic eats, and memories were made. Love Tracy, Augustus, and their dog Bokkie. Must stay!"
1881597,50147166,2015-10-09,20958875,Jennifer And Kildare,"Tracy's home in South Congress was perfect for us and our 5 year old son. The location is where we always like to stay when visiting Austin, lots of great restaurants and boutiques and is an easy walk or drive to other neighbourhoods.  Check in was super easy and the suite had lots of space. Loved that the suite was 2 level and had a little deck. Would stay again!"
1881597,50445660,2015-10-12,3726483,Lindsey,"Charming, clean, cozy and convenient... It is the perfect neighborhood to take in Austin (fun, quirky, & safe) and We LOVED being able to walk everywhere. Tracy was very communicative and helpful. I would definitely stay here on another visit to Austin."
1881597,50862129,2015-10-15,11589921,Kim,Tracy was a great host! Such a pleasure staying in her treehouse. 
1881597,51328242,2015-10-19,1628609,Kerry,"This was the quaintest little sanctuary to stay at during our trip to Austin. It's walking distance to some of the best restaurants and stores in town, the apartment is quiet and private, and Tracy was extremely accommodating and pleasant. She even left a great little gift basket for us. We'll definitely be staying again next time we visit!"
1881597,51856797,2015-10-24,4700745,Christopher,"I've stayed in some of the nicer boutique hotels in Austin (as well as budget places), but I can't say that any space I've occupied in the city has been as functional, welcoming, attractive, and, above all, as well-situated as this property.  Really, you're RIGHT behind a great Austin breakfast institution (The Magnolia Cafe) and you're steps from arguably the coolest shopping and eating drag in the city. You might save a few bucks someplace else, but this is where you want to be. Great value for the money, and you'll be dealing with a warm, easy-going hostess who'll do everything she can to make your experience better. Highly recommended."
1881597,52080084,2015-10-26,36978579,Steven,"My girlfriend and I had a great time staying in tracys tree house for a long weekend. It was very cozy, comfortable, and very clean. We had really bad weather during our visit, and Tracy offered to bring over a space heater to keep us comfortable. She also left a bottle of wine and snacks for us when we got in! Would happily stay here again if I come back to Austin. Location was great right off south Congress."
1881597,52509955,2015-10-30,10161718,Dylan,"What an amazing place to stay to get the true austin experience. The treehouse is beautiful, clean, and the perfect location. Walking distance to shops and restaurants on south congress. Perfect for what I was looking for. The treehouse was clean, accurate and Tracy was there to welcome my girlfriend and I for a quick trip. Will stay here again."
1881597,52702102,2015-11-01,9354840,Jillian,Great location
1881597,53153775,2015-11-05,12980066,Victoria,"Tracy's place in South Congress is in a great location near lots of restaurants, cafes and within $5-$10 uber ride or bus ride up congress ave to pretty much anywhere else you might want to go in Austin. Tracy was very helpful and accommodating when our flight to Austin got cancelled and made us feel very welcomed in her home with all the essentials in a welcome pack. The bathroom is simple but no complaints re: hot water/pressure. We had a great time. Thanks Tracy! "
8194938,47932993,2015-09-21,5758960,Antony,"I can't say enough great things about Michael!!  He was the consummate host:  great communication, made check-in a breeze, and he had the apartment outfitted to the nth degree.  His place is unbelievable.  Spotless, in the best part of downtown, literally steps away from the Convention Center and all that Downtown Austin has to offer, yet secluded and private.  I have stayed in Austin countless times over the past decade and I can say, without reservation, that this was by far my best lodging experience ever.  5 Stars!!!"
8194938,48154439,2015-09-23,9973306,James,"If you're going to Austin, you need to stay here! This place was amazing. Walking distance to 6th street..no need to waste money on taxi or uber. The place itself has literally everything you could need and more. He even had tooth brushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash for us! Cold water and soda in the fridge were definitely refreshing and so was the candy in the freezer! AC blew nice cold air. Beds were comfy and sheets were nice and clean. Could not have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. Did I mention there was a Starbucks across the street? Michael was always available by phone or text and was extremely helpful and flexible with us and our schedule. Will definitely be looking this place up again next time I come to Austin!"
8194938,48475993,2015-09-26,44808844,Brendan,Excellent place! Great location in Austin. The amenities provided are above and beyond. A great place to stay in or use as a home base for your visit. It has everything you need. Michael does an excellent job of hosting you. Would stay at any other of his places. He really adds a personal touch.
8194938,49065606,2015-09-30,2427512,Sarah,"Michael's place was great! Centrally located, quiet and comfortable. I'd definitely stay again."
8194938,49530940,2015-10-04,26249159,Greg,"First of all, Michael was so, SO accommodating starting with the whole reservation process when I messed up my dates! He also texted me part way through just to see if I needed anything. His place is great, from the brand new leather sofa to huge first floor closet / storage and the convenience to 6th Street, the convention center, the light rail (a stop is on the corner) and even Rainey Street which is maybe  10 minute walk. Three of us stayed here, and we very were comfortable. Id stay here again in a heartbeat."
8194938,50014644,2015-10-08,75444,Eric,"Had a nice stay. The place is centrally located, and nicely kept. Michael was great - checking in and making sure I was comfortable. I will stay here again the next time I am in Austin. Thanks Michael!"
8194938,51746973,2015-10-24,91689,Adam,"Fantastic stay in a great condo. The location is perfect - right in the centre of Austin - and Michael is a superb host. He wants to ensure you're as comfortable as can be, and he installed high-speed WiFi for me so I could work more efficiently. This place works for either 1 person or a whole group... Can't wait to come back!"
8194938,51927240,2015-10-25,11947859,Kevin,"We stayed in Michael's condo for the F1 Grand Prix weekend. The location was perfect, right in the center of downtown. Two blocks from 6th street, a quick walk to Rainey, and an easy uber to anything else you want to do in Austin. Michael was a very attentive host, and made sure we were comfortable. He even provided an extra twin bed for our 5th guest. I definitely plan on staying here next time in town and would recommend Michael's place to anyone who wants a great trip to Austin! "
8194938,52337894,2015-10-28,16616426,Katrina (And Otis),"Michael's condo is closer to the convention center than the Hilton. It is a perfect accommodation for a business traveler. He also stocks it with everything a business traveler needs. It was a real help to have a quiet place to recoup, make phone calls, and check email within a few steps of the convention center. Well appointed, perfect responsiveness. When in Austin, we will seek Michael's place out again."
8194938,52851337,2015-11-02,19562911,Mark,"The apartment was just as described!  I was there for the Film Festival and it was a perfect location.  Michael was a great host!  Very responsive and attentive!  I plan on coming back!  Thanks so much!

Best,

5293632,28036289,2015-03-16,20062085,Mike,Very nice stay. Hosts were welcoming and accommodating. 
5293632,28260379,2015-03-21,2128793,Zuriash (Cindy),Peggy and Rashid are wonderful. It felt like home being at their home. The puppies are wonderful. Quite place - awesome people - lovely home.  We have definitely made some new friends. 
5293632,28351949,2015-03-22,29212514,Morgan,Peg was absolutely great. The home was very nice and the host was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend. 
5293632,28528849,2015-03-25,28480571,Ju-Ju,"Peg wasn't there during our stay due to emergency, but her husband did a great job in showing us around the house. We were welcome to use the kitchen to cook our breakfast. The place was nice and quiet in a residential area. It was very well kept for a house with four dogs. The dogs are lovely and very well-trained. It took us about 20 minutes to get to downtown Austin from this place. The bed and pillows were soft and comfortable. "
5293632,29469065,2015-04-07,29601600,Hannah,Peg and Rachid were amazing hosts! They were both very welcoming and made sure that we were comfortable. Their dogs were also very sweet and playful. The house is in a very safe and quiet neighborhood.  I would definitely recommend staying at their place!
5293632,33288613,2015-05-26,11940539,Jacob,We had a great time staying at Peg's house. She and her husband were really helpful and thoughtful and made us feel at home and welcomed the entire stay. The house is in a lovely part of Austin and was a perfect midway point to explore Hill Country and Austin. It was about a twenty minute drive to the center of austin and an hour to an hour and a half away from the major parks of Hill Country. Comfortable room with cable tv and a private bathroom. They also have friendly and adorable dogs who made our stay even better. We would definitely stay there again next time we're visiting Austin.
5293632,36644651,2015-06-29,35022795,Craig And Trina,Richad and peg had a very quick response time. We had been looking for hours and had tried several airbnb hosts and most didn't respond until the next day but they responded almost immediately. Their home is gorgeous and in a very pretty area. They had four fun fur babies that we got to love on. We would definetly recommend staying with them to anyone. Richad had us in stitches from laughter that following morning and peg was an amazing host. The bed was very soft and clean and they were very accommodating for booking on such short notice. There is no doubt that we know where we will be staying anytime we visit austin.  The only thing I would have changed was spending more time at thier home .
5293632,37393317,2015-07-06,35863383,Pu-Lani,"For my first time experience - it was a great one with Peg & her husband. The neighborhood was nice, bedrooms & bath were clean & they were very hospitable. Even their 4 dogs were welcoming. ;-)  I would definitely return. Thank you Peg! "
5293632,40871112,2015-08-02,16497582,Cory,Peg sand her husband Rashid were the perfect image of hospitality. Full of advice and very eager to make your stay more comfortable. Their dogs were wonderful. Would highly recommended staying with them!
5293632,41049004,2015-08-03,30193020,Carole,"Peg and Rachid were really nice host. They tried to make us feel home. We appreciated a lot our stay in their home. Their house is lovely and the room was quiet and comfy. They have 4 ""big kids"" so you must be dog friendly.  
For sure, we recommand Peg as host if you want to visit Austin and spend a good night!
Thanks again for your kindness :)"
5293632,41436745,2015-08-07,19517879,Winni,"Peg and her husband were absolutely wonderful!  Her husband was there when we arrived, showed us around, and was very kind.  Peg was very good at making us feel welcome!  We had access to the kitchen, they had towels/toiletries for us (even though we brought our own!), offered us breakfast, and they gave us some great suggestions on what to do on our mini-vacay to Austin.  The neighborhood they lived in was nice and quiet, close enough to everything without battling a lot of traffic, the bed was super comfortable, and their dogs were the sweetest!  I would definitely recommend this room and it was a great first time experience with airbnb!  I would definitely stay here again if I venture out to Austin again.  Thanks!"
5293632,43447395,2015-08-19,41325018,Maud,Peg and Rashid were really lovely  and hospitable; they gave us loads of rides places and we had a really pleasant dinner with them. Rashid even gave us a lift to the airport really early in the morning. the neighbourhood was relaxed and quiet.
5293632,43591794,2015-08-20,18286390,Annie,"My boyfriend and I stayed in Austin for one night for a quick trip. Peg and Rashid were amazing hosts! They were very kind and open about their home. They also had four adorable labs who are sweet, gentle and very fun-loving. We had also brought our dog who is about 50 pounds to stay with us as well. Peg and Rashid are definitely dog lovers and were kind enough to let our pup play with the other dogs and outside when we were out and about in the city. We will definitely be staying with them again if we get the chance."
5293632,44078253,2015-08-23,3213433,Jessie,"Peg and her husband were wonderful hosts - kind, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The room is incredibly comfortable. A little bit south of Austin, but in a very pretty area of itself. And her dogs are adorable ;) "
5293632,44266543,2015-08-24,34456311,Marisa,"Peg and Rachid were the most welcoming hosts.  We needed somewhere to stay that was pet friendly and this place definitely is! Their 4 labs are the cutest, sweetest dogs we've met in a long time. They also accepted our request on short notice, which was so nice. Peg responds very quickly! The room was perfect-- bed is ultra comfy and the mounted TV in front of it is nice too! We really look forward to staying there again!"
5293632,46100289,2015-09-07,41722221,Johannes,"Peg was a great host. Communications and responses were smooth and fast. Peg was incredibly hospitable and friendly, and has 4 adorable dogs that were very well behaved and quiet. Bed was very comfortable and the private bathroom was a plus. I am very happy with my stay and will definitely try to stay here again if possible."
5293632,46917182,2015-09-14,7747159,Tim,Peg is a most welcoming host. The room was perfect and the private bathroom most appreciated. The location is a peaceful and ideal southwestern Austin neighborhood. I highly recommend a stay here.   
5293632,49466566,2015-10-04,13281665,Dianne,Peg accommodated our horribly late arrival with grace.  Room is as pictured with private bath.   Very lucky to have found a room like this during ACL. 
5293632,49695975,2015-10-05,36483380,Raymond,Great experience great host. She had cold bottle water waiting for us when we got home. The bed was super comfy and they had AT&T universe in the room. Nice sized room and bathroom.
5293632,50660403,2015-10-13,42908644,Nall,"Our stay with Peg and Rashid was so awesome!! They were more than accommodating, especially since they allowed us to bring our dog with us. They have 4 sweet doggies of their own, and let our dog interact with them even when we were out. They were not home when we arrived, but our room and private bathroom was already clean and organized. The bed is very comfortable! We highly recommend staying here, it isn't too far from downtown Austin either. Spectacular hosts!!"
4816646,25558158,2015-01-19,23668627,Jackie,"The house is almost exactly as pictured.  It is sparsely decorated and furnished but that gives it a modern, clean feel.  We didn't cook, but the kitchen appeared well stocked.  The host was prompt in replying and able to accommodate our check-in time. "
4816646,25892783,2015-01-28,20697800,Melinda,"Dillar was amazing. She responded immediately, which was perfect because we needed a last-minute place. The house has been recently renovated and it's gorgeous and comfortable. Dillar greeted us, made sure we were comfortable, and then let us have the place to ourselves for 3 nights. We didn't use the kitchen all, but it seemed to have all the  things you would need if you did want to cook there. I would definitely recommend this place to any friends or family coming to stay in Austin."
4816646,26702093,2015-02-17,26843646,Daniel,"The place was exactly as pictured. It was like staying at a good friends house. Dillar was an excellent host and made sure we had everything that we needed. The location was convenient to get to the rest of Austin. 

If we are every in Austin again this place would be at the top of our list to stay."
4816646,26898442,2015-02-21,5438255,Per,"Dillar was great, and every aspect of my stay was frictionless. The room was spotless and comfortable.  "

4816646,27446667,2015-03-04,969386,Andreas,"Dillar´s Appartment sieht genau so aus wie auf den Fotos. Alles sehr gepfleg, sauber und ansprechend wie im 4 Sterne Hotel nur eben privat. "
4816646,27904677,2015-03-14,22166920,Yajian,"It's my first time travel alone, and also my first time using Airbnb, I should say it's definitely an amazing adventure. Dillar's house is exactly like what she describes, clean, big and super comfortable. Dillar is always ready to help, I didn't meet her until the morning I left though, she responded quickly once I had a question. You won't be regret staying at her house.
"
4816646,28019745,2015-03-16,27901867,Alex,"Wonderful host! Easy checkin and checkout.  House is bright, beautifully updated and in a nice safe neighborhood but only 15 minutes from downtown. will definitely stay again if in Austin.

Thanks Dillar!"
4816646,28216727,2015-03-20,16103466,Alli,The description Dillar left is accurate. Her place was in a nice neighborhood in Austin. It is very clean and Dillar was great. We didn't interact too much because we were busy and she had work ect. but she gave us pretty much free reign in the house and was very responsive to texting throughout the stay. She also gave us some reccommendations of where to eat. Overall I would absolutely reccomend a friend to stay at Dillar's place. Thanks again!
4816646,28479677,2015-03-24,27666353,Chris,"The room was clean with a huge bathroom and very comfy bed! The neighborhood was quiet and pretty easy to find, and get around town from. Great experience overall:)"

4816646,28816554,2015-03-30,28906888,Edward,The room was awesome. Huge and minimal like the pictures and in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Due to an unexpected health complication I didn't actually get to spend any nights there.  Dillar was great during my ordeal. She offered me help right away with no hesitation. I'll definitely being using her again for any future Austin visits.
4816646,29232043,2015-04-05,15466463,Jeff,"Fantastic experience in Austin, TX! The location is easily accessible to SOCO, Zilker Park, downtown, etc. Dillar was a great host lending herself and her expertise on the city if you take it. The space was clean, quiet and relaxing. You have ample room in the master suite with a full, private master bath that includes a double sink. Starbucks is close and you have full range to the kitchen for any culinary needs. I'd recommend Dillar's property to all of my friends. Please don't miss out a great time in ATX at a great home."
4816646,29430556,2015-04-07,28590150,Alex,"The stay was wonderful, the place looks amazing, and very friendly made us feel like if it was our home.

4816646,29857403,2015-04-13,29682406,Graham,"Echoing Dillar's other reviews, the entire process was simple and hassle-free.  The house was modern and clean, just as described, and the room we stayed in was large and comfortable.  We didn't get the chance to meet Dillar during our quick and busy weekend in Austin, but if we ever go back, we'll definitely stay here again."
4816646,30096554,2015-04-17,30433882,John,"All was as advertized and I had a nice stay while at Dillar's. The bed was comfy, bathroom spacious and the whole place clean and tidy. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend her place to any future guests. She was responsive to my texts and calls when I had questions. Thanks for a nice stay, Dillar!"
4816646,30878201,2015-04-28,27696167,E.J.,This is by far a really great place to stay in Austin.  Our host was very accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.  We felt safe and this place is very convenient to so many places in South Austin.  I would highly recommend this to any of my friends and anyone that is looking for a great place to stay in Austin.  
4816646,31373748,2015-05-04,25794675,Pedro,"Our stay here was great! The house was nice and the bed was comfy, plus it's in a good location. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Austin. "
4816646,31610931,2015-05-07,32202999,Kurt,This was our first time using Airbnb.  The reviews for this place were the reason we picked this place.  Dillar was gone so we dealt with Jared.  He was wonderful and very helpful.  We would recommend staying there.
4816646,31899165,2015-05-11,28401579,Taranjeet,"Dillar was out on an international trip to Italy but her friend, Jared was courteous and quick to let us in! The house was clean and well kept. There was only one problem: wifi.
Luckily, Jared was on it the minute we told him. Thank you for the hospitality! :)"
4816646,36604027,2015-06-29,35918694,Luther,I enjoyed staying here. Quiet and peaceful place. I never met Dillar but I met her mom who was super sweet. The house is located in a nice neighborhood.
4816646,38412517,2015-07-15,28585432,Jennifer,"My boyfriend and I had a great time in Austin! While there was a bit of a mix up with the keys and the other guests in the house, Dillar and her mom were incredibly responsive to help.  Aside from that our trip was flawless, it was a clean and comfortable space on a quiet and safe block.  I would  stay here again if I found myself visiting Austin in the future. "
4816646,38936689,2015-07-19,14299687,Audrey,The listing was very accurate and Dillar was very quick to respond to questions. The neighborhood was quiet. The bed in the master suite was very comfy! My husband and I felt very safe in the neighborhood. 
4816646,39880181,2015-07-26,13204174,Joya,"As pictured. Dillar was prompt with communication. The location is a short drive to all-things-cool-Austin. If you're a light sleeper, the bed was very comfortable but there is a barking dog at a nearby neighbor's. We met some pretty nice airbnb travelers at our stay."
4816646,40051045,2015-07-27,39176962,Lameshia,Great place to stay! Close to downtown and Dillar was an awesome host. I would definitely stay again.
4816646,40850799,2015-08-02,39658362,Marc,First time user of Airbnb and this host exceeded my expectations. The place looked exactly like the pictures posted which definitely was a factor in me picking picking this host because of the modern chic design. She was very accommodating. We once noted to her that the hot shower wasn't warm enough and she immediately called a plumber the next day to fix it. Even though we didn't see her (she stated she could either be a ghost or very involved with our stay) we were able to communicate with her readily through text. She even suggested places to eat or visit. Overall great experience and i would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting in Austin. 
4816646,41290635,2015-08-05,5749899,Obora & Michael,"Great experience at Dillar's house. House is large, modern and comfortable, exactly as advertised. Another guest was staying in the second room and he was very friendly, quiet and considerate. Our bedroom had a private attached bathroom so we had all the privacy we needed. The kitchen had a nice modern coffee maker and all the cookware we needed. Dillar provided coffee and beers and attended to all of our inquiries very promptly. She even provided some tips on fun things to do in Austin. Bed was comfortable, shower was hot with good water pressure, neighborhood was safe, quiet and accessible to downtown. Two thumbs up. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Dillar for everything!"
4816646,41544658,2015-08-07,40438858,Dasom,"Dillar was an very nice host. Dillar's house was awesome.
The room so quiet,comfortable, and all clean.
Close to downtown and easy parking place.
I would definitely stay again."
4816646,42038630,2015-08-10,10538232,Scarlett,"Dillar's place was awesome! Huge room, super quiet, fresh towels and sheets, clean house overall, and easy street parking. Everything was great. Even communicating with Dillar was smooth sailing. My husband and I will definitely stay here in the future and recommend our friends and family to stay here when in Austin."
4816646,42237433,2015-08-11,38940963,Michael,"Dillar's communication and hospitality were excellent. He facilitated a smooth stay and his house is fantastic. Clean, modern, comfortable, and an outstanding value, I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
4816646,42603348,2015-08-14,11061049,Natalie,"We stayed in the Master suite in this beautiful house. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable and the en suite was big and clean. The neighbourhood was quite and it was an easy, quick drive into downtown Austin.

Dillar was great! She gave us recommendations of places to explore and eat as a local would! We also had an issue with the AC in the house which she sorted out as quickly as possible. 

Overall, this was a beautiful house and I would eagerly stay again on my next visit to Austin! "
4816646,42752543,2015-08-15,40057891,Mai,"I loved the whole place! Dillar was very good about communication and it was exactly what I expected! Cute place stocked with tea/water/coffee, super clean, and I even made friends with the other guests in the house. Thanks for a great experience! "
4816646,43295520,2015-08-18,40135047,Merissa,"We had a great time in Austin. Dillar's house was in a great location/neighborhood. It took a max of 15 min to get around Austin which was great! The house was quiet and simple, we stayed in the master bedroom with the bathroom attached and holy cow there was a lot of room. We had a great time overall and thank Dillar so much for an easy stay! "
4816646,43563048,2015-08-20,41082836,LeAnn,We had a wonderful experience. Our host texted us in a prompt manner to alert us when the room was ready for check in. The accommodations were very clean and Dillar kindly provided towels. 
4816646,43838349,2015-08-22,40744141,Mengge,"The communication is very clear, the neighborhood is safe and nice. We spent most of our days in downtown Austin, and we didn't have any trouble to get in or out. The house itself is very nice, roomy and welcoming, we felt very comfortable at Dillar's place. Definitely recommended. "
4816646,44374696,2015-08-25,41757787,Rolando,"Comfy, Cozy, & Quiet. Communication with Dillar was perfectly clear and friendly (via text messaging). I found the place to be quite welcoming.

4816646,44604547,2015-08-27,42028493,Kate,Easy check in. Beautiful home and furnishings. The bed was super comfortable! Nice private bathroom. Dillar provided tea and coffee for his guests. Easy communication with Dillar. 
4816646,46264700,2015-09-09,25308604,Samantha,The room was great. 
4816646,47070484,2015-09-15,6761347,Yuvi,"Dillar was very professional and very accommodating.  She was responsive before and during our trip to Austin. The house was very clean, safe and parking was beyond easy.  We parked in front of the home on the street daily without an issue.  Pictures accurately represent the home, Dillar provided clean towels and full access to her kitchen.  The entire home was very clean throughout our stay.  The home itself is only a 20 minute drive from the airport and a 16 minute drive into the City of Austin- without traffic.  We felt really comfortable in the home and her other guests were respectful of the space.  Check in and check out were SUPER easy and that was really appreciated.   Highly recommended.  "
4816646,47392692,2015-09-18,31677238,Brandi,"Dillar's place is located in a lovely and quiet neighborhood in Austin. Not only were we completely comfortable, but Dillar was also in contact with us and extremely attentive if and when we needed anything. Everything was extremely clean and fresh, and I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone needing to stay in the Austin area!"
4816646,47755818,2015-09-21,35513956,Vivian,10/10 would stay here again. Beautiful home in a nice neighborhood. Didn't get a chance to meet Dillar but did meet her mom who was super nice. A++++++++
4816646,47925989,2015-09-21,44447507,Isabel,"Great deal! Very clean, convenient location and quiet neighborhood. Def looking to book next visit "
4816646,48310313,2015-09-25,39876498,Karina,Dillar was such a great host.  Her house is super clean and beautiful.  She also gave us great suggestions on what to do around Austin.  I would 100% stay with her again.
4816646,48714922,2015-09-28,1733182,Melbourne,"The listing was accurate, neighborhood in south 
Austin was nice and quiet. We especially appreciated the modern conveniences, evident healthy lifestyle of our host and a real bed with private full bath.  We would stay again. "
4816646,49154802,2015-10-01,7565274,Kathryn,"This was my favorite room on my 3 week trip to the US. Dillar was super helpful and accommodating. The house was great and the room was spacious with a large two person bathroom. The area was great, only minutes in a car from downtown, helped make my stay in Austin a very special one.  "
4816646,49398728,2015-10-03,45274906,Chuck,The house was amazing!  
4816646,49777749,2015-10-06,10977844,New,"Dillar's home is very modern and clean -- it was a fun place to stay and has a unique look to it. She made sure we knew to get the key from under the mat. Also, she checked in to make sure we had enough coffee and toilet paper, etc. So that was great.

Objectively, the communication with Dillar was not great. It took a long time for her to get back to me about how to enter the house on the reservation day, this is because the airbnb app did not work. Also, the other couple who was staying in another room was not aware that we were coming (not sure if it was Dillar's communication with them or their own communication  misunderstanding). But there was an unpleasant incident that arose because of it. 

Dillar's mom is also very nice. "
4816646,50007355,2015-10-08,4204233,Jeffrey,"Dollar was great and very friendly. 
Very informative about the city and getting oriented.
Very nice home.
Would stay again!"
4816646,50239748,2015-10-10,39754550,Rachael & Alex,"Dillars home was spacious and in a good location as long as you have a car. We got an uber to rainey street one night which cost $20 it was about a 30 minute journey. We had a couple of issues with the wifi at first it didn't work which Dillar came round when she could to fix. Then it was just incredibly slow the whole time which makes researching things to do in Austin auite hard. Dillar herself wasn't living in the house we shared with another couple. The amenities were good. There is pretty much everything you could want/need except a used condom wrapper in our en suite bin (we could of done without that). Over all the stay was ok. We did want to stay another night in Austin as its a great place and we asked Dillar if she had a free room as the master room we were in was booked when we tried extending on Air BnB but she never got back to us regarding this, so perhaps communication wasn't great."
4816646,50441217,2015-10-12,38945209,Vanesa,"Great house and great host! The house was exactly as it looks in the pictures. Very clean and comfortable. Dillard gave us tips on what to do and go, and offered to help us in any way he could. Would recommend this place without a doubt. "
4816646,50914784,2015-10-16,1179094,Kate,Dillars house is very clean and the room very spacious with a great big bathroom. Upon booking we didn't realise there would be other airbnb people staying which wasn't really an issue but we assumed we were staying with the host. There was a bit of a communication issue with regards to us not having internet access and waiting on the driveway for 45mins before her lovely neighbour helped us gain access to the property. Great quiet neighbourhood but you do really need a car or uber to get to/from the city. Saying that we did take the bus once which was cheap but it did take over a hour. We didn't actually meet Dillar but we did exchange some messages re areas to visit.
4816646,51061428,2015-10-17,13060919,Jeff,Great facility. Very homey feel. Everything was clean and check in/out was convenient. Definitely stay again!
4816646,51302457,2015-10-19,29192562,Diana,"Contemporary, open, clean and inviting - this house was a gem for comfort, location and a very accommodating host. Highly recommend this terrific find! Downtown Austin about 15  minutes away, and very close to bus line, too. Nice and quiet residential South Austin neighborhood."
4816646,51826250,2015-10-24,46633829,Karl,"We stayed at Dillar's for just under a week and it was great. The place was really modern, clean and everything was provided for us. I'd definitely recommend anyone to stay with Dillar"
4816646,52220183,2015-10-27,23454870,Andrea,Very clean and awesome stay! Dillar was always quick to respond to any questions that arose....overall it was a great experience with no problems.  :) 
4816646,52650958,2015-10-31,41920571,Taylor,"I had no interaction with Dillar during my stay. The house was impeccably clean and organized. I requested to check out an hour later due to poor weather conditions, and Dillar was fine with it. Great jf you're looking for a quiet stay that feels more like a hotel than a home. "
4816646,53036424,2015-11-03,29456271,Rikke,"We had an amazing stay here! We booked very shortly before, but Dillar was kind and arranged for us to come. The room was fantastic, huge and with a very comfy bed. We had a nice cup of coffee and saw Forrest Gump on Netflix when we arrived :-)! Dillars mom arrived the next day and we had a heartily and warm conversation with her! I would definitely recommend this to everyone - the house is beautiful and feels very much as a home away from home!"
2403457,10928820,2014-03-13,1793140,Efren,"Jessica went above and beyond!  An absolute beauty of a home in a great neighborhood.  We took the bus every morning into town and only took about 30min max.  If you take a taxi or a car literally only takes about 10min to get to and from downtown austin.

Jessica had water, snacks and a bottle of champagne waiting for us when we arrived, which made it feel more like a 5 star hotel then an airbnb.  This literally was the best airbnb experience I've ever had.

 I would recommend Jessica and her house to anyone looking for a clean and amazing place to stay. "
2403457,11016362,2014-03-17,10210445,Sara,"Jessica was a wonderful host, and was flexible with a date change. She made sure to make the house very welcoming."
8070381,45213976,2015-08-31,15761569,Amy,"We all had an amazing time in Emma's apartment. The location was perfect with a bus stop right outside to take us into downtown and the best taco's in Austin right opposite. The apartment itself was clean, modern and had everything we could need! Really helped to make our trip in Austin outstanding. Emma was an exceptional host and although we didn't see her she went out of her way to make it our home. I can't recommend her enough!"
8070381,45890911,2015-09-06,39260265,Zachary,Emma was fantastic! She responds to messages quickly and is very helpful. Her apartment is perfect if you are looking for a great Austin experience. I never felt unsafe or uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend staying with her!
8070381,46454397,2015-09-10,34397226,John,"The apartment was simple and comfortable, and its location was great. Emma provided clean linens and coffee - pretty much all I needed."
8070381,46814411,2015-09-13,39765151,Matt,"Emma was an incredibly gracious, accommodating, and helpful host.  She was quick to respond to emails and offered plenty of good suggestions for places to eat in the area (best breakfast tacos around located directly across the street).  As a previous commenter noted, there's a bus stop directly in front of the apartment that made it easy to get to downtown Austin in no time.  The apartment itself was clean and as described.  This was my first visit to Austin, and should I become a repeat offender I'd gladly stay at Emma's place again.   Thanks!"
8070381,46957360,2015-09-14,18367355,Kevin,Emma's place was perfect for our one night stay in Austin! SUPER clean and neat plus the apartment was modern and minimalist (which we love...no clutter)! She uses a lockbox for key so really easy to arrive/depart conveniently. Location walking distance to lots of food choices. Uber to 6th street $6. Would stay here again whether it was for a night or a week.
8070381,47298380,2015-09-17,29469179,Kevin,"The location was awesome, and the location was very close to downtown! Perfect!"
8070381,47516504,2015-09-19,37737988,Heather,"Apartment was cute and clean, as advertised. Easy entry, parking and internet access."
8070381,47928690,2015-09-21,44460667,Sananda,"Awesome place! Perfect for my overnight stay and a steal based on the location. More than enough space, very clean, and within walking distance of some nightlife. Definitely will use again for any trips to Austin."
8070381,48210412,2015-09-24,3372154,Mohit,Emma was a great host!  Everything was as expected and the apartment was kept extremely clean.  I had a few questions when I arrived about parking and the wifi and Emma answered them within minutes.  Would definitely stay here again when in Austin next.
8070381,48916375,2015-09-29,25915297,Vanessa,"Loved the stay here and would definitely consider staying here again the next time we're in town! Emma was super responsive during our stay here to guide us and help us as we needed. She also left us a lovely welcoming note upon arrival to the place, and the property was very spacious and clean. All of the main locations we wanted to eat/visit were within a 15 minute drive (super convenient!) and there was a lot of good food trucks/restaurants (4+ stars) on the same street as the property itself! Oh and this place is only 10 minutes away from the airport, which was amazing because everyone wants to do long drive to and from the airport, says no one ever!

Just an advisory to other guests, make sure you are parking in a ""visitor"" spot only. Emma told us this, but there were no visitor parking for one of the nights so we parked at any open spot, and our car got towed at 3am. Unfortunate, but that is our fault. So don't take the risk! If there is no visitor spot in the lot, park across the street! It is residential parking on the side streets, so it is safe to park :)"
8070381,49285795,2015-10-02,45159674,Brian,Great apartment close to the center of Austin. Emma had the apartment ready and check in/check out could not have been easier with her directions and the lockbox. Would definitely stay here again.
8070381,49384722,2015-10-03,44390111,Kloe,"Emma's apartment was super cute and comfy! She had coffee and clean sheets for us. No hassle at all, parking was only next door. Very quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay again. "
8070381,49802836,2015-10-06,11022089,Meredith,Emma was a great host! She ensured our arrival went smoothly and was very accommodating. Her place was very comfortable and cute! Would definitely book again on any trip to Austin.
8070381,49909187,2015-10-07,41962487,Cory,Emma was great! when we arrived we were greeted with a very nice note that really made us feel welcome. the place was exactly as described and with its perfect location to downtown it made a great place to stay for a night on the town. 
8070381,50111517,2015-10-09,6254396,Alex,"Emma was a fantastic host! Very smooth communication, confirming the rental was a breeze, and her instructions for gaining access were very clear and easy.

Her apartment was great. Very clean, comfortable, and convenient. Would definitely stay at again!"
8070381,50344773,2015-10-11,23862643,Joanna,"My experience staying here was a great one!! Emma was quick to respond left a note that said I could have some coffee, thanks for that! :) apt was homie to me and would recommend it anyone oh and the location was awesome too! Thanks again!"
8070381,50649286,2015-10-13,43279350,Liz,"Emma was a fantastic host. It was so nice to be welcomed with a note and the wifi password!

We had some concerns about the check in time but she said there were easy accommodations to help us out if necessary. 

Overall our stay was fantastic, check in was a breeze, and the apartment was in a great location, close to some great restaurants and bars. 

Thank you, Emma!"
8070381,50904899,2015-10-15,44531424,Tyler,Emma's place was very nice and close to downtown. Her directions were flawless and for my first air b n b experience I couldn't have asked for a better place/price that put me close to downtown and work and was quiet and private.
8070381,51000810,2015-10-16,44531424,Tyler,Great place and host
8070381,51538921,2015-10-21,8015325,Mich,"I was very impressed by the apartment and location. Very spacious, clean, comfortable and close to some great bars, restaurants, food trucks and downtown.
Most of all, it was a very reasonably priced compared to some of the other places on offer in the area.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone and I hope to be able to stay there again if/when I return to Austin."
8070381,52252448,2015-10-27,35104046,Cynthia,"We want to thank Emma for the use of her apartment. It was very nice and adequate for our stay. We actually had 4 people stay (our family) and she provided a blow up mattress and the couch for the 2 extra people. The apartment was clean and tidy. The location was great. It was close to downtown and the University of Texas campus, and within 15 minutes of the airport.
We were very happy with our accommodations. Also the Breakfast Taco place across the street was fabulous! Thank you!"
8070381,52730430,2015-11-01,27241784,Jessica,Emma was really nice and gave clear directions. The place was cozy and close by a lot of good restaurants and activities. 
8070381,52951873,2015-11-02,2428041,Marjorie,"Emma was very responsive and accommodated our same-day, last minute request.  Check in and everything was super clear and easy.  We just needed a place to crash for a night, but it's a great location for anyone visiting Austin, especially for the price and having the apartment to yourself."
5257917,30203807,2015-04-19,25146547,Miko,"The top trip crew was in the lobby when we arrived and very welcoming. Prior to arrival, they were great with emails and phone calls, checking to see if I had everything set up, and with giving updates about the building space. They were thorough and up front about things like noise, construction, and access to the building. I would definitely stay here again with a group of friends. The balcony was a huge bonus. They were also accommodating with a late checkout. No frills, had everything I needed!"
5257917,34477446,2015-06-08,30567571,Josh,"Great communication and thorough instructions made my stay a breeze. Do stay here if you want to be in a cool loft walking distance to all downtown has to offer. Don't stay here if the noise of 6th Street will disturb your sleep. It's not too loud, but you can definitely hear it. Will definitely book here next time, A+ experience!"
5257917,39424828,2015-07-23,3895444,Stephen,"Great location for Austin's nightlife and close to a lot of offices during the day, so this worked out perfectly for my needs.  The loft was clean and well taken care of.  Had a small problem with the outside door to the building, but that was resolved very quickly and was very satisfied with the support.  Would definitely stay again when I'm in town next."
5257917,39807979,2015-07-26,33227068,Jessica,I loved the loft the view was beautiful the place was convient. I almost didn't want to leave!
5257917,49034390,2015-09-30,469339,Gina,"Great location, easy entry and access."
5257917,49945221,2015-10-07,1099357,Jason,The place was really cool and in a perfect location.   Check in and out was super easy and I really enjoyed my time there.   Hope to stay there again on my next trip.   Perfect place for SXSW.
5257917,51584560,2015-10-21,19069490,Kevin,"The host switched me to unit 302 before I arrived. It was as promised, though the shower gave new meaning to low-flow. "
4465308,22480859,2014-11-07,2307496,Cris,"Heidi was so very accommodating. This was a last-minute, same night emergency booking and she welcomed me with open arms. She lives in a very nice complex only about a 10 minute drive from downtown, and she made she I had everything I needed for my stay.

Her apartment is very cute and kitschy with a nice bedroom and spacious bath. The cats are adorable but shy and not at all loud or aggressive. She was also kind enough to offer use of her in-unit laundry, and made sure I had a key and a parking spot so there was really no issue coming and going freely. Mostly, I just slept though :-)"
4465308,22568824,2014-11-09,17478037,Andy,Heidi welcomed me for a last-minute overnight stay before leaving for San Antonio in the morning. Her place is cozy and conveniently located near the airport. Heidi was pleasant and recommended some great places in Austin! 
4465308,22627574,2014-11-10,21933898,Erik,"Staying with Heidi was absolutely perfect and hassle-free! It was exactly what I needed for a short weekend trip. I was out and about for most of it, so our paths crossed only minimally, but she was friendly and accommodating, and am definitely going to be looking her up if/when I'm in Austin again. The complex itself is fantastic, with some swanky digs down at the leasing center/common area if you need a place to get work done, read, swim, etc. My trip was too short to enjoy this feature, but it was there.

Thanks a million!

(Also, one of the cats will come chill with you if you let him; the others are shy and I hardly knew they were there.)"
4465308,22726894,2014-11-12,23526677,Sailun,"Was a all-round fantastic stay. I didn't get to meet the host many times. But she was kind and helpful, even picked me up from the greyhound station at night. The room is basic but clean nicely presented. Bathroom is fantastic with all amenities. Location of property is a 30 minute bus ride to downtown Austin. There are local eateries and supermarket within walking distance. Definitely a perfect place to stay if you drive a car. Cats were a nonissue, as long as you keep door shut. I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin. "
4465308,22869463,2014-11-16,19749682,Deborah,"I arrive pretty late at night, and left early in the morning, so didn't really get to see Heidi. But she made everything very easy for me, via communication. Was welcoming and her place was very comfortable. Large bathroom. Spacious kitchen and living area, which I didn't use, and very comfortable bed.  
The location was great. Only thing that was hard, was finding the address and parking numbers in the dark."
4465308,22939111,2014-11-17,15618129,Erin,"Heidi was a great host. Her home is very spacious and comfortable, with lots of cute decorations. The location was perfect for me, quick and easy to access from I-35. South Congress isn't far, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The bed was very comfortable, too. Heidi also was very quick to respond and took my reservation on very short notice."
4465308,23308442,2014-11-28,9968352,Dan,"Heidi kept good communication via AirBNB messages. The room description is accurate. Nice comfy bed. Televison and ample closet space. Neat Mickey Mouse wooden table next to bed.

Resourceful neighborhood right off from I35. Grocery stores and plenty other restaurants.

When I arrived Heidi had placed a WELCOME note on the bed with keys to the apartment and zapper to open the gates to the apartment complex.

Secure parking lot with designated parking space."
4465308,23465841,2014-12-01,23840532,Emi,"Heidi est une parfaite hôte, elle répond très vite par mail à toutes les questions. La maison est propre et très confortable, avec un super lit, les 3 chats sont adorables. Il s'agit d'une résidence avec piscine commune très agréable pour se détendre. Elle est située un peu loin du centre ville, mieux vaut avoir une voiture, la desserte par bus est cool la journée (environ 30min) moins sécur voir impossible la nuit.
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour."
4465308,23656720,2014-12-07,6961821,Harkina,Great place to stay. Heidi was very punctual and open in her responses to any questions I had before the stay. The room is clean and the cats are so nice. It was a great experience and I would definitely stay here if I come to Austin!
4465308,23779780,2014-12-09,24224584,Aaron,The house was perfect. I got pretty sick on the drive to Austin. The room was the perfect size for me to just stay in and sleep. 
4465308,24157730,2014-12-21,10797371,Darlene,We enjoyed a comfortable week long stay at Heidi's. We would definitely stay here again! 
4465308,24253072,2014-12-23,16097756,Mustafa,"The house was really good, I liked my stay there, The room was exactly what it seems on the picture without any change. So pretty accurate. Her cats are also very friendly they were all observing me while i was there;) But they are pretty shy.
Neighborhood was also really good. The house was in an apartment complex. It was clean, neat and in order. It was a nice stop at Austin."
4465308,24614727,2014-12-31,24866480,Michael,"It was a great space with a super comfortable bed, and easy access to Austin with a car. 
Bonus: The cats were awesome."
4465308,24773821,2015-01-02,24953709,Bridget,"Heidi was so helpful with our plans in Austin and her house was in a great location,  easy drive to many of Austins best places.  Heidi was quick and helpful in answering all our questions. Definitely recommend her!"
4465308,24883868,2015-01-03,24809276,Emma,"I didn't get to meet Heidi in person but she was very quick to respond to all of my questions via airbnb. The room was lovely, very clean and very close to some nice places to eat. I would totally stay here again.  "
4465308,25270746,2015-01-11,17686702,Peter,"The host was very welcoming. The accommodations were as described. The cats were a nice touch. I recommend renting a car if you want to do anything in Austin if you're staying here, the buses are a bit better than their reputation but are not great.  "
4465308,25470378,2015-01-17,24819518,Gianna,Heidi was very thorough with her instructions and helpful in suggesting places to check out improv.  I felt very comfortable staying at her place.  Her cats are quite snuggly!  The location was close to everything I experienced.  The bed was comfortable and her place is clean.
4465308,25597952,2015-01-20,7364000,Elisha,"Although we did not meet Heidi, we had a nice stay at her place. She gave us excellent instructions to her place that is very continently located right off I-35. The bed was large and comfortable and there was plenty of clean towels in the bathroom. I would recommend Heidi's place to other travels especially if they like cats. Thanks Heidi!"
4465308,25771091,2015-01-25,4014197,Taiya,Heidi is a really great host! This is actually my 3rd  time staying with her. The bed was very comfortable and the apt is in a really good location with lots of food options nearby. 
4465308,26367920,2015-02-10,9976746,Steven,"Had a wonderful stay with Heidi--bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean, and everything basically exactly as described/pictured! The cats were friendlier than I expected based on description and other reviews (not a bad thing)--maybe partly been because I stayed multiple nights and they got more used to me than some."
4465308,26506617,2015-02-14,22259248,Travis,"Unfortunately, Heidi's and my schedule were just off enough to where we didn't cross paths. But she was more than helpful with the (many) questions I had. The place itself was wonderful, clean, and very nice. And when they aren't skiddish, the kitties are so cute and friendly.

If I need a place to stay again, Heidi's place is definitely one of the places on the top of my list."
4465308,26737692,2015-02-18,25546025,Cristen,"Heidi's apartment is clean, cozy, and well-stocked with towels.  We also appreciated the clear signage instructing how to work lights, doors, etc.  Heidi was accessible and communicative. Most of all, we were thrilled to have the company of the cats!"
4465308,26894927,2015-02-21,26074966,Patrick,"So sorry Heidi that it has me so long to get this done. You have given me the freedom to just work myself silly!! Thanks for a very comfortable room in a neighborhood close to where I need to work. Everything was as described, including the fraidy-cat cats."
4465308,27098355,2015-02-25,420070,Sherif,"Heidi was a nice, accommodating and very responsive host. Her apartment was very clean. I will stay with her again for sure."
4465308,27184389,2015-02-27,26074966,Patrick,"This is my second visit with Heidi, and the listing is every bit as good a value as it seems to be. She is a great host and her cats have marvelous (though retiring) personalities."
4465308,27342381,2015-03-02,21433667,Michael,"Heidi was wonderful! I had some issues finding her apartment, but that was from my lack of going over my itenerary. She was very patient with me as I bugged her about finding her place, and the directions she sent before I arrived were spot-on once I actually looked at them. We didn't see much of each other since I was out or asleep for most of my stay, but she was polite and very companionable when we did interact! Her cats are really sweet and will even meow at the door for you to pay attention to them - not at night, though, of course! I feel like we would definitely be friends if I lived nearby - seeing her Princess Bride poster in the guest room made me feel right at home! If I get the chance to go back to Austin, this is definitely where I'll be staying."
4465308,27658800,2015-03-09,2751123,Tarik,"Great host made sure I arrived safely with follow up directions. Great place, very clean room, comfortable bed, clean towels everyday, clean shower. Closer to airport and downtown. "
4465308,27885307,2015-03-14,12391359,Kenneth,Heidi helped me out when I had to fly into Austin early. Guest room was warm and clean and I had no trouble finding it. I would recommend it. 
4465308,28137041,2015-03-18,15817700,Whitney,Heidi was great. Highly recommend the space and the host!
4465308,28378534,2015-03-23,23634838,Natalie,"Great space!  Super comfortable bed & bath.  Lots of easy- to- follow instructions.  The cats are very mild and won't get in the room unless you invite them in.  One is very friendly and the other two keep to themselves.  Also, the parking space was a HUGE bonus.  This listing is about six miles away from the sixth street area and about five miles away from the south congress area so it was easy to reach by cab or bus. (closest bus stop is about .6 miles away).  Also close the the freeway.  Not exactly centrally located for the city, but a wonderful quiet spot to come home to.  Heidi's place made us feel very at home. "
4465308,28489431,2015-03-24,275190,Reginald,"Heidi was a very gracious host who was at once attentive but also gives you plenty of space to yourself.  The room is very comfortable and Heidi goes out of her way to make you feel at home.  I am very thankful for the opportunity to stay there and highly recommend others do so as well.

Heidi's cats are super cute!"
4465308,28607158,2015-03-27,13897265,Sarah,"Heidi was a great host...and the cats were so sweet! The location is very convenient for just about everything I could think of to do in Austin- not super close, but not very far and in a very quiet neighborhood. The room was cozy and comfortable. "
4465308,28691556,2015-03-28,12265424,Marco,"Nice apartment, close to a bunch of great eats. "
4465308,28768757,2015-03-29,30067283,Alex,"Great host in a nice area and good sized apartment, especially for the price. It was clean with plenty of space. Would come again"
4465308,28854457,2015-03-30,9623024,Holly,"Heidi was great! It was a last-minute reservation, but she was super accommodating and had the room ready for us. She was very responsive and helpful. Room was clean, bed comfy, and the cats truly were adorable/friendly. Highly recommend!! "
4465308,29162568,2015-04-05,26025305,Paige,"Heidi was courteous & helpful with my trip to Austin. She made us feel comfortable, & everything is neatly labeled & ready for guests. Plus her cats are sweethearts! "
4465308,29447693,2015-04-07,4219652,Keshar,"Heidi is a great host! She is well organized and very helpful. Her place is clean, quiet, and comfortable. I took advantage of the gym, and that was very nice too. "
4465308,29581023,2015-04-09,30251814,Robert,"Though I did not personally meet Heidi, her descriptions of how to get in her home and get things settled are descriptive enough to understand. If you miss any of the house rules that have been left, she has awesome little index cards across the house to remind you. The cats were affectionate as soon as I walked in, but quickly scattered thereafter, and it was in a good area, with a short drive to the city. I'd recommend this spot to anyone looking for a cheap, but still great hospitality. "
4465308,30135733,2015-04-18,3741003,Susan,"The location is very convenient to I35 and getting to downtown was very easy. The room is comfortable. The cats were friendly without being too needy. Heidi was not there when I checked in but her instructions were clear. I didn't spend a lot of time there except for sleeping but Heidi seemed very nice. There was an issue with the GPS in my car telling me the entrance was on a different road, but this is clear if you look at a map. This is a good value for your money!"
4465308,30249153,2015-04-19,29741275,Tom,"This was my first Airbnb stay and it set the bar pretty high! Heidi was the consummate host. Her place is convenient to get to, and much like the apartment the room itself was comfortable  and very well kept. She gives guests their space but is more than willing to answer any questions. Would definitely stay again! "
4465308,30457355,2015-04-22,29596928,Scott,"This was my first time using airbnb and Heidi was very accommodating. It's about 5 miles from downtown, but if you don't have a car with you, there are plenty of car2gos in the area. Heidi was friendly and her cats are very sweet. The pool area is gorgeous as well.  Would recommend."
4465308,30592020,2015-04-24,2428157,Kenny,I had a great time staying at Heidi's place.  The location is very convenient and secure and the house is very clean.  Heidi was not around much during my stay but she left very helpful notes and instructions around her place to make the stay very pleasant and easy.  She was communicative the entire way and her cats are adorable.
4465308,30867288,2015-04-28,2246006,Jonathan,Heidi and her very comfortable apartment with its own guestroom was a very hospitable host the apartment was spotlessly clean and inviting and very convenient to everything I needed to get to in Austin would recommend her to anyone traveling to Austin thanks so much
4465308,30997265,2015-04-30,2246006,Jonathan,Heidi's apartment with the private bedroom and bath was perfect for my stay in Austin the room and apartment were immaculately clean and everything was ready and clearly defined and outlined for me I would recommend this place to anyone who's traveling to and staying in Austin!
4465308,31516198,2015-05-06,28937479,William,"Nice, private room in a modern, secure apartment complex. Comfortable bed. Pool and quite well-equipped fitness room available for your use. Sometimes Heidi will have another guest that will share the bathroom, but I didn't find that a problem. She was very communicative and helpful, but not at all intrusive. The kitties have distinct personalities and were pleasant to have around. A real bargain. I would definitely stay here again! "
4465308,31676324,2015-05-08,32383102,Jon,"Heidi was a great host and the apartment is great! Very clean, very spacious, very comfortable. She was extremely thorough with her instructions and we were always in contact with her. 10/10."
4465308,31934955,2015-05-12,24760290,Morgan,"Heidi's place was perfect for our festival weekend.  The room was comfortable and relaxing.  Her cats were very sweet too!  The location was perfect - close to downtown, south congress, the festival and great restaurants (all were a short drive away).  The apartment complex was very nice and felt very safe.  I would definitely stay here again."
4465308,32098145,2015-05-13,5667536,Ricky,"Best and most cozy stay EVER! Heidi was the perfect host; quiet, respectful and kind. Private pool, gym and adorable cats added to this amazing stay. Bed was super big and comfy and she even moved her DVD player in the room when I expressed I wanted to watch a movie. Looking forward to my next stay, for sure!"
4465308,32159422,2015-05-15,26998208,Edward,"The place was convenient to downtown Austin.Cozy and comfortable. I only met Heidi,briefly. She was on her way out of town.She had everything ready for me when I arrived.I would recommend staying to anyone."
4465308,32590779,2015-05-19,32415134,Alex,"Great host, super helpful and she checked in often. Apartment was super comfortable. Recommended for anyone traveling alone. "

4465308,33667265,2015-05-31,24774645,Manuela,"The room was clean and tidy, just as expected. The bathroom was also clean and tidy with plenty of towels to use which I was not expecting. It's located in a gated community so we felt quite safe there. All in all, it was a relaxed and calm environment to rest in while in town. Thanks."
4465308,33860104,2015-06-01,22114397,Ryan,Clean comfortable place to stay and convenient to down town and I35. Had a restful sleep there. Host is very helpful and knowledgeable about her city.
4465308,33973144,2015-06-02,34579636,Claire,"We were only in Austin for a night, but Heidies house was scrupulously clean and very nicely labeled for guests. There were plenty of clean towels and the bed was very comfortable. The three cats were inquisitive, cuddly, and adorable. The walls were a little thin, but that can't really be helped. A very pleasant stay! "
4465308,34203958,2015-06-06,14967112,Thomas,"Nice condo in a nice and safe place 10mn drive from downtown. Swimming pool was great! Many restaurants around.

The bedroom is faithful to description: clean and comfortable.

4465308,34342906,2015-06-07,13201422,Bill,Heidi was wonderful and she has the nicest cats!  Her place is clean and it felt just like home.  She was attentive but not intrusive.  The bed was comfortable.  I plan to stay here again next time I am in Austin.
4465308,34499604,2015-06-08,22114397,Ryan,Second time staying. Same as before good location and comfortable place to stay. Heidi is very welcoming and helpful.

4465308,34838675,2015-06-12,32620203,Caitlin,"This was our first Air BnB experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better first stay. Heidi was so nice and accommodating. Her apartment was clean and so comfortable. We will definitely stay with her again if we get the chance when we are back in Austin!"
4465308,35093508,2015-06-15,31664846,Brian,"An absolutely fantastic first Airbnb exprience! Heidi was so kind and accommodating. She leaves little notes around the apartment about her ground rules, which are entirely reasonable. Apartment complex was gated and neighborhood felt completely safe. The cats will make noise occasionally but they never prevented me from sleeping. An easy 5 stars."
4465308,35351449,2015-06-17,22406528,Rebecca,"Loved Heidi's place very clean, convenient and private. Her cats are great too! "

Heidi was super nice and and welcoming and helpful in terms of directions to her place as well as suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The cats were super cute too. I would most certainly stay here again next time I'm in Austin. 
4465308,36538018,2015-06-29,15092953,Sarah,"Heidi was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcomed.  Room and apartment as described.  We were visiting Austin for a wedding.  Bed was comfortable and noise machine was a nice added feature.  Room and bathroom were clean and tidy.  If we visit Austin in the future, we would definitely stay with Heidi again.  She is highly recommended.  Our only negative was we did not get to enjoy the beautiful pool as we didnt have time :-("
4465308,36866151,2015-07-02,21169354,Daniel,"Heidi was such an understanding person. Even if my trip got delayed and my arrival time changed, everything worked out fine.  The room was as described, very cosy. The cats were very friendly."

4465308,38241130,2015-07-13,38124641,Jarred,Heidi was great and so was the accommodation! Everything was laid out perfectly and she was happy to share local info about Austin!
4465308,38600671,2015-07-17,8109751,Cindy,"I absolutely loved Heidi's place. It's a cozy and cool space and I really enjoyed the pool area. 
It's located pretty good, as I try to do everything by public transportation. You just had to walk 10/15 minutes and you're at the bus stop. 

I also had the pleasure to meet Heidi in person and she is the sweetest!
She gave me good instructions to get there from the airport and how to get access to her place. And let's not forget the biggest plus, the kitties!

I would definitely stay at Heidi's again!"
4465308,39087649,2015-07-20,1988891,John,Location was nice. Guest bedroom has enough privacy from the rest of the apartment. 
4465308,39221938,2015-07-21,1826829,Becky,The room was lovely and Heidi had lots of helpful notes so I was never confused about a thing. The cats are sweet and very relaxed. She has a serious collection of every Disney cartoon known to man in that room in case you need to do some catching up. 
4465308,39346650,2015-07-22,38243913,Damon,"Everything was perfect. I felt comfortable and had a fine time. The kids were sweet, love those four- legged critters. I hope I left everything in good order. I try to clean up after my stay, it was very comfortable. Sorry we did not meet, but I will book with you again!"
4465308,39835492,2015-07-26,19750336,Toni Lacey,It was great! Exactly as it is shown and very easy to get in and very clean  
4465308,40066104,2015-07-27,30605759,Charly,Great location! It was pretty easy to follow instructions given by Heidi. I liked that there was an assigned parking spot provided.
4465308,40186950,2015-07-28,39562487,Simona,Heidi and her guest room were wonderful! Heidi had little notes everywhere to make things easier and know what everything is for. The room was adorable and the bed was so comfortable! Maybe even more comfortable than my own. She was very sweet and helpful and the cats were cute. 
4465308,40673591,2015-08-01,35751096,Adam,"I had a great time staying at Heidi's place. The apartment was clean, the bed was really comfy and Heidi was an excellent and very helpful host. I would definitely stay here again."
4465308,41175885,2015-08-04,40142764,Sam,"Heidi was great, very warm and welcoming. The room was very comfortable and clean. The apartment had a fun atmosphere, and I felt relaxed right away. There were restaurants nearby and her apartment had a huge pool. Really enjoyed my stay there. "
4465308,43116084,2015-08-17,19350380,Kelly,"The listing was exactly as described.  I had a 4 day class and had to leave early in the am.  Did not get to spend much time w/ Heidi, but what little time spent was very pleasant.  Bed and lodging was very comfortable, clean, and overall very pleasant.  And the cats were adorable.  I will say, the room was more warm than the rest of the apartment even with the ceiling fan on high, but that was not a deterrent at all."
4465308,43520225,2015-08-20,23423181,Cathy,"Heidi communicates well. She responds quickly, and has clear directions throughout the home.
The whole place is well-decorated, organized, and cozy. Her cats are very friendly. They're one of the highlights of my trip to Austin.

I really enjoyed my stay."
4465308,43878146,2015-08-22,40597920,Katie,"It was a quick stay for us at Heidi's place, but she was very kind and welcoming and we enjoyed all of the notes around the house that helped answer any additional questions we had!"
4465308,44260681,2015-08-24,41959373,Jessica,Heidi was very helpful! We were not able to meet since we only stayed a night and were out all day. She left clear and helpful instructions for us and her place very welcoming. It was the rite place to stay after a long day. Everything was so neat and organized! Her cats were very curiouse and sweet!
4465308,45160645,2015-08-31,17263936,Jawwad,"Heidi was an amazing host! I had no issues getting to the place and finding parking. The room was set up very nicely, and the place was clean and pretty in general. This was a great place to stay my first week in Austin and I'd definitely recommend to people visiting the area."
4465308,46160014,2015-09-08,39976258,Madeline,Everything was cozy. Everything was labeled and nice and neat. I saw her once but she was very nice and helpful.
4465308,47332270,2015-09-17,36672431,Bridgett,"Love Heidi's place! Easy to follow instructions for getting into the apartment, internet, tv and gym access. Kitchen has labels to easily locate utensils. Cats greeting me at the door made for a happy arrival. Home is clean and organized. Bed is comfortable. 

She is easy to communicate with if she's needed. Home feels safe and welcoming! Can't wait to re book!"
4465308,47751346,2015-09-21,42081717,Glenn,The bedroom worked really well for trip. It got a little crowded with the double listing. Heidi's directions were easy to follow and made for a nice stay.
4465308,48805520,2015-09-28,30294202,Aimee,Great place to crash! Was in town for a wedding and tailgate and needed a place to sleep. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable and the cats were fun to play with. All three were social and friendly. 
4465308,49609386,2015-10-05,862765,Bobby,We had a great time and the cats were so cute and funny trying to poke their heads in the door :) Cozy and quiet room with a very comfortable bed! Heidi's airbnb is super organized with notes posted so there are no questions at all. She generously loaned my guest a nice Tito's hat for our hiking adventures. Great parking and easy apt access too. 
4465308,51307799,2015-10-19,41736481,Rick,This was my first Airbnb experience and Heidi set the bar high for my future expectations. Her descriptions and pictures were spot on. She does indeed have cats but this room is cat free and my allergies caused me no trouble. I slept great in a nice bed. There were a lot of labels on things which was great. If I visit Austin again I'll check this listing first.
4465308,52093057,2015-10-26,12332719,Lisa,"Nice neighborhood. Communication went well. Our nav system took us to the other side of the complex, but a few text messages from Heidi got us back on track.  The place was well organized and clean.  The only difficulty was the living room guests were chattin till around midnight'ish and I had to be up by 4:45am for a flight.  The sound carried into the guest room so it was difficult to fall asleep.  Other than that, all went well.  "
4465308,52780242,2015-11-01,35590016,Hilary,"Heidi's accomodations were lovely. Her cats were friendly, the bed was comfy, and everything was advertised. Heidi's communication was clear and with helpful labels around the house we didn't feel like we needed to constantly barrage Heidi with questions. "
6797353,36470966,2015-06-28,7837753,Andrea,"Our visit to Austin for the weekend was everything we hoped for. Simons place hit the spot. The location is awesome, with a short trip to just about anything and in a pretty hip neighborhood. Simon was a great host, super friendly, kind, and very attentive to our arrival and any needs throughout all of our stay. House was very tidy and spacious. We had a great time and recommend it to anyone visiting : )"
6797353,37541135,2015-07-07,31891231,Mitch,"The duplex was great! It was very comfortable and had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a nice dinner. The only thing this place lacked was a table to dine on. There were a couple of board games for non digital entertainment. The backyard is a great size, and we never even saw the neighbors. Overall great experience. "
6797353,38470075,2015-07-15,2094877,Sydnee,"This place was a perfect get away. Very clean. Comfy bed. Incredibly soft towels, and pillows. The living room was a perfect place to set up and draw. There is a beautiful money tree to keep you company in there. Great kitchen with adorable appliances and spectacular dinnerware. There is a huge backyard that is perfect for a dog to run around in. Simon is quick to respond to all inquiries."
6797353,38792174,2015-07-18,37131186,Don,This place was perfect for me. It was very clean and had everything I could have hoped for. 
6797353,39202851,2015-07-21,23464219,Sheila,"Simon had the a/c and lights on when I arrived at the duplex.  The kitchen is great!  I wish I had time to prepare a meal there.  The bed was super comfy and it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the spacious and clean home in such a convenient location.  

Simon made every effort to ensure my comfort!"
6797353,39971814,2015-07-27,4453827,Tamara,Our stay was lovely and comfortable. The house stayed cool during a super hot weekend and we loved the way it was furnished. The kitchen (with homemade granola!) and the bathroom were both super clean and very cute! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
6797353,40384888,2015-07-30,23612163,Jessica,"Simon's apartment fantastic for our stay in Austin.  It was a short drive to anything we wanted to see. The interior decor was nicely done--my husband and I totally felt right at home. The space was perfect for the two of us and our golden retriever, especially with that big grassy backyard. Our dog was even able to play with dog from the tenant upstairs, which was great. Also, the homemade granola and laundry detergent were very nice touches :) Thank you!"
6797353,42984181,2015-08-16,506144,Alyson,"This is a wonderful little house in north Austin (about a 10 minute drive to all of the bars and restaurants downtown). There's a full kitchen, a washer and dryer and even a backyard that our dog could run around in. It's super clean and bright; exactly like how it looks in the photos. Simon was very easy to reach and he and his wife left us yummy homemade granola to eat for breakfast. It's so rare to find a dog-friendly home near the city, especially one that's so nice! We will definitely stay here again. "
6797353,43339910,2015-08-18,9131137,Joey,We were able to book a 2-night stay with last-minute notice. Simon was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Place is as-advertised -- our dogs loved the enormous (fully fenced) backyard and the kitchen had everything we needed for coffee and tea.   
6797353,43508941,2015-08-20,3616229,AnhThu,"Simon's place was great, right next to the freeway so it was super convenient to get to places. Everything was as expected and he answered all my questions right away. Thanks for letting us stay Simon!"
6797353,44149037,2015-08-24,11752755,Ari,"Simon's place was great. It was just as advertised and Simon was very responsive to our questions.

The bed (and the day bed) were both very comfortable and the AC units were more than up to the task.

A very comfortable stay."
6797353,48589586,2015-09-27,24600346,Mary,"I stayed at Simon's with a friend and our two dogs for a trip to go to the UT football game. The location was great, easy access to campus and other parts of town and an inexpensive Uber down to Rainey screen on Saturday night. The unit was a bit eclectic but very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The fenced yard was great for the dogs to run around and explore. Simon was flexible about check in time and very responsive to questions!"
6797353,49638121,2015-10-05,42797803,Lizbeth,We stayed at Simon's for ACL. The location of the place is off the freeway. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious. The kitchen was large and has all the essentials. Perhaps the best thing about this place was the water pressure and A/C! Simon also accommodated our late check out time. 
6797353,50276264,2015-10-11,30422629,Brianna,Great location! Very accommodating and I would highly recommend it. In addition Simon is especially friendly. I was needing a delivery of tickets for an event in Austin before I left and it was delayed. He was kind enough to let me reroute the delivery to his home and had it waiting for us when we arrived. Just above and beyond!
6797353,50725775,2015-10-13,33734010,Rafael,"Our stay in Austin could not be better. The house was really neat and comfortable. Good location to get in 10 minutes pretty much to every interesting spot in Austin. 
Thanks for everything!"
6797353,51188434,2015-10-18,2712213,Abby,The apartment was perfectly charming and exactly as pictured. Simon made the whole process really easy with great communication.
6797353,51592316,2015-10-21,2495104,Martina,"The house was a perfect choice for our first time in Austin. We've been on the road for almost two months living out of a car and this was a real oasis for us. Clearly quite a bit of thought and effort went into creating a welcoming and comfortable stay for guests. The bathroom was clean, recently remodeled, had lovely amenities, the bed was comfy, and the place is outfitted with a new washer and dryer. As a plus for anyone with a dog, the large backyard was perfect for multiple games of fetch. The house is minimally furnished but had everything we needed, and the kitchen is well stocked with plates, utensils, and basic equipment. The house is located at the end of a street very close to the 35, which made it convenient for getting around town in a car. I never met Simon but he was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend. "
6797353,51897481,2015-10-25,41558135,Robyn,The duplex was the perfect base for adventuring around Austin and San Antonio. Simon was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. The location was great for getting around the area quickly even with a home football game and the F1 series in town.
8524887,49560077,2015-10-04,45393800,Michael,We had a great time. Everything worked well without much effort. Nice neighborhood of SoCo.
1608994,7357706,2013-09-16,8740098,Tyler,"Pete was super easy to work with and I will be repeating on my next time through Austin. His house was great, clean, spacious, cool (hard to do in Texas), with all the appliances and necessities that I required. Getting in/out of the apartment is very easy, it's in a great location that has the Austin vibe (I love walking to Julios for breakfast just like when I lived in Austin). Thanks Pete"
1608994,8190167,2013-10-20,3094646,Emily,"Pete's apartment is just lovely. 

Three of us stayed for a week, there was plenty of room (plus room for one more), it is beautifully decorated and has everything that we needed. The code entry made it super easy to turn up and get in without having to worry about timings and late planes.

The apartment is in a great area, with great places to eat: Mothers, Julio's, Quacks and Hyde Park Bar and Grill are just 2 mins away as well as a fantastic local cheese shop (Antonelli's), a grocery store and a great juice bar all near by. There is also a bus stop just outside that takes 20mins to get downtown or 30 mins to South Austin.

When I go back to Austin this place will be top of my list.
"
1608994,10305595,2014-02-11,11165122,Kevin,"The place is stunning and exactly (if not better) than the photos suggest. The location is prime. Was able to walk to dinner, wine, get groceries and coffee. The place is SUPER clean, organized and wonderful. I had to book last minute for work and Pete was awesome to work with. I will never book anywhere else again when staying in Austin and will be reffering people here for years to come. Bed was comfortable, was able to make dinner at the place and it was in a quiet location off the street. You'll love that you booked this place. "
1608994,10778693,2014-03-07,8225250,Kim,"Great space. The apartment was very clean, cozy and spacious. Pete let us know he was there for anything we needed which wasn't necessary since he thoughtfully provided the necessities. I will stay there again when in Austin. Traveling would be so much convenient if there were a Pete in every town! "
1608994,11537669,2014-04-07,5003625,Jill,"This place is great and perfect for four people. Perfectly located in Hyde Park. Being from Austin this is one of the best neighborhoods and has tons of Austin charm. As well as being centrally located you are a block away from some good Austin eats. If you want to have a lovely, easy stay in Austin- stay here.

And the host Pete made everything super easy. "
1608994,20257590,2014-09-26,21406113,Jessica,My stay was amazing. Pete's place is extremely clean and cozy. I highly recommend. 
1608994,27857411,2015-03-13,3992221,Tim,"A wonderful three night stay in this very clean, updated (felt brandnew!) upstairs unit.  Plenty of space for the three of us - me, my son and his girlfriend -- and what a comfortable place.  Slept like a log on the great beds.  Kitchen, bathroom (two sinks, which was helpful), strong shower flow, dish washer, TV... all in perfect shape.   Great location in Hyde Park, with so many wonderful eateries not too far away.   Communication with Pete was smooth and easy; very quick replies, which was appreciated given the last-minute booking by me.  Highly recommended."
1608994,37140710,2015-07-05,20066168,Martin,"This is a lovely apartment in a great area.  Very well appointed, comfortable and spacious.  The balcony is a great feature too.  And Hyde Park is a lovely, tree-lined, characterful area."
1608994,43546475,2015-08-20,27016431,Ron,"Pete was very helpful and friendly. Also, he always replies in time so we can get help really quick. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends visiting Austin."
1608994,51297692,2015-10-19,8297921,Bodil,"Super dejlig lejlighed. Velindrettet, meget ren og funktionel. Ligger i et rigtig hyggeligt og roligt område. Meget god og venlig kommunikation med Pete. Min bedste anbefaling."
1608994,52905339,2015-11-02,15638569,Jennifer,"The apartment was super clean, comfortable and homey.  There were 3 of us there and we didn't feel on top of each other during our stay which is always nice!  Within walking distance to several restaurants and shops and short driving distance to a ton of other stuff.  We would definitely recommend this place and return! "
5217792,46219881,2015-09-08,42330019,Catherine,"We had an amazing time at Gaylan's house! The house is nestled in the hills of Westlake and feels amazingly secluded. The wooded views from the back porch are great for morning coffee and the pool is perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. Gaylan was a breeze to work with, we can't wait to visit again!"
5217792,49635690,2015-10-05,15099425,Crystal,"The perfect place to stay for ACL this past weekend. Overall the home was a 15 or 20 minute drive to downtown city center and about 10 minutes from ACL. Gaylen was wonderfully accommodating, the house was very clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Not to mention, it is in a wonderful, serene and quiet neighbourhood away from the hustle and bustle of Austin. I can't wait to make another trip to us, and when I do, I will be sure to stay here. Thanks for everything Gaylen your place was beautiful and perfect!"
5217792,50480317,2015-10-12,18089163,Jennifer,Gaylen was a wonderful host.  She let us come by early to drop off our bags.  Had everything ready and available for our use when we arrived for check in.  She even made cookies for us!  The house is beautiful.  Very comfortable and inviting.  The pool was an extra treat!  The neighborhood is beautiful and very close to stores.  It was also very convenient to Zilker which is where we were spending the weekend.  Would definitely want to stay here again!
5217792,51293865,2015-10-19,41642476,Tara,The home is even more beautiful in person! Gaylen made us feel very welcome and the home was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 3 small kids. The neighborhood is ideally located - secluded yet so close to everything. We really enjoyed our stay!
4037161,24792404,2015-01-02,2815272,Lisa,We really enjoyed our stay at Isabel's house! The location was amazing and the house was very homey and comfortable. My only regret was not spending more time on the back porch! Thanks for a great stay! 
4037161,28297416,2015-03-22,8464203,Konrad,"Awesome, huge house in a great location. Thanks Isabel!"
4037161,35137561,2015-06-15,16867994,Dustin,"Perfect house and location. Spacious setup with plenty of room so that we never felt cramped. Isabel checked in every morning to make sure we were covered. Can't say enough about how much we enjoyed staying here. Highly recommended for any activity in Austin, especially if you are looking for a house close to Zilker and Barton Springs."
4037161,36676788,2015-06-30,5997579,Katie,"Isabel was very responsive and attentive to all of my emails as I was coordinating the trip.

I stayed in the house with 4 other friends.  We all were in Austin that weekend to take our exams for a nutrition program.

The neighborhood was incredible!  It felt like we were in the country but we were actually only a 15 minute walk from DT.  

The house is SUPER nice...great kitchen and living spaces.  We decided we´d go back to Austin just to have a reunion and stay at the Barton House!

6623662,37485903,2015-07-07,3525560,Noah,"Clara's cozy studio apartment was perfectly located for exploring East and Northwest Austin. Delicious food and great bars within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean and comfortable. It is small, but totally suitable for two people who plan on being active most of the time. 

Clara was exceptionally responsive, available, and helpful. At one point the key to the apartment fell out of my bag and was lost, and she quickly and kindly brought us a new one.  

Overall, a great experience both with the apartment and the host. Highly recommended."
6623662,37811166,2015-07-10,27926166,Melissa,"This hip studio was exactly that! Walking in I was taken aback by the beautiful eclectic decor, it was clean, cute and wonderful. We enjoyed our stay here very much.. Everything we needed was provided and Clara had even left us a little present on our arrival. Checking in and out was easy and strait forward. I highly recommend this air BnB GEM  :)"
6623662,40745835,2015-08-02,19892748,Autumn,"My only regret about staying at Clara's place was that I didn't have more time there--or in Austin. The apartment is very cute, homey, comfortable and convenient. The location is very close both to downtown, the lake, E 6th St. neighborhood, and even the SoCo district. There is a fantastic little coffee shop just down the street, and street parking was very available and free! 

The apartment itself is a perfect size for one (I was traveling alone), but two considerate travelers could certainly make it work as well! I would recommend having a car, but even without one, the location of Clara's place would have worked for foot, transit, bike or cab travel. 

I came to Austin for a work trip earlier in the week, and decided to stay for the weekend. Clara's place was the perfect home base for a weekend sojourn. "
6623662,42005060,2015-08-10,38372647,Andrea,The place was great! The host was very attentive and gracious. She made us feel welcome and that was very important to us. The only complaint I had was the air conditioning only because the weather was 105 degrees the whole time we were there. We got an extra fan and it ended up working great! :-)
6623662,43880540,2015-08-22,2020961,Stephanie,"Clara was a very thoughtful host. There was even a bottle of wine waiting for me ;) I loved the location and the studio space was just what I needed. She had it decorated in such a charming way, also."
6623662,45992911,2015-09-07,4026939,Vina,"Clara's place was really cozy and conveniently located, and Clara herself was extremely easy to communicate with. We had no problems at all with our stay and would definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for a place to crash in East Austin! There were plenty of coffee shops and eateries within walking distance, and it was just a short uber ride away to downtown and anywhere else we wanted to go during our visit."
6623662,47489807,2015-09-19,10389285,Katie,"Clara's apartment was perfect for our stay. Super close to downtown and Rainey Street where a bunch of great bars and restaurants are.  It has a small AC unit which is perfect for the space and an obvious necessity in Texas. There is a taco truck literally across the street where we ended up lunching over the course of our stay. Lots to use in the kitchen if you wanted to cook yourself. We just made sure the Brita was full! Super comfy bed, tv, full size mirror (a hard find in the bnb world!) and plenty of drawer space so we didn't have clothes just laying all around. These were the things important to us and it worked out perfectly. It was perfect for 2 people, I could see a 3rd if it was like a super emergency but honestly for us it would be too tight with 3. I would 100% stay here again. Even my husband is who is a bnb skeptic only had rave things to say about this space. "
6623662,50432797,2015-10-12,19314527,James,"Super cute appt in a very convenient location to access ACL and Austin nightlife. Clara was great and always responded quickly.  Many coffee shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. "
6623662,52040946,2015-10-26,30321505,Andrew,"Clara was an excellent host and really made my experience perfect. Everything from the welcome letter to the basic necessities needed , all provided for me.  The place was exactly  as described and picture perfect. Everything is close tot his location , i had a car because i was in on business but you literally do not need one with this perfect location. Plus i am a fan of East Austin. I would defiantly recommend to anyone looking for a place while in Austin. 

 "
6623662,52719009,2015-11-01,10276287,Lee,This place is just great. Clara has done a superb job with this little apartment. In a great spot walking distance to downtown as well as plenty of great local bars and restaurants. Can't recommend highly enough!
715633,2677271,2012-10-21,3922896,Jordan,"Nice, clean place close to downtown. Nathan was a good host- left us Lone Star in the fridge and bathroom was stocked with travel size toiletries.  The community is gated and I liked having a covered and secure parking space for my car.

I will definitely re-book with Nathan next time I'm in Austin.    "
715633,8811433,2013-11-19,5610383,Michael,"This condo provided all the necessary amenities we needed and more.  Nathan & Jacy were gracious hosts and anticipated our needs well.  The beds were comfortable and shower water...hot!  We didn't utilize any cooking or BBQ facilities, but all was available.  Off-street parking was available and the location has good proximity to Rainy St., 6th St. and all of downtown.  Should they opt to rent their condo again, I would highly recommend it.  "
715633,11338660,2014-03-30,431079,Corie,"The place is in a great location, we rented bikes and it was easy to get around, There were three of us who stayed, and there was plenty of space. Nathan was very helpful, although we didn't get to meet him. Everything worked out well. "
715633,47831665,2015-09-21,13468850,Jerome,Staying at Nathan's place was a great experience. The place was very clean and very well kept. He was very accommodating to any of our requests and communicated very well. I would definitely stay there again. His place is cozy and has any amenity you could possibly need. 
978089,3770352,2013-03-12,4366076,Blake,Daniel is a really chill guy. He made everything very easy. His roommates are great as well.
925130,26638591,2015-02-16,111426,Shannon,"Danielle's place was just as described. Upon arriving, we were greeted with homemade brownies and a bottle of wine to welcome us to the house. That was such a nice surprise. Our hosts keep their house sparkling clean and neat. The beds were comfy, and the location was just minutes away from downtown. I would definitely recommend this vacation rental when visiting Austin. "
925130,26848683,2015-02-20,16657988,Grace,"Danielle's home is such a sweet and spacious place for friends' gathering. She is very generous and helpful, making our home cooking party very easy. "
925130,27008427,2015-02-23,27125308,Traci,"We absolutely loved this house. We held a small bridal shower and it could not had been more perfect! Danielle was very accommodating and left out dishes and glassware that we would potentially need. Overall, we hope to come back when someone else gets married!"
925130,27345768,2015-03-02,2771618,Kathleen,"Danielle was a wonderful host for my family. Her house is beautiful, clean and looks just like the pictures. Also, such a great neighborhood to stay in. I would love to use her house for next time my family comes into town! Thanks Danielle! "
925130,28127375,2015-03-18,10780242,Jason,Had a great time at Danielle's house in Austin.  The pictures were exactly what we got.  Super spacious and plenty of room to spread out and have alone time when needed.  Great house to lay your head and have great meals in the wide open kitchen/dinning/living room.  
925130,29831303,2015-04-13,5911907,Molly,"My stay at Danielle's house was lovely. 
The place was clean and very open. She left us a nice welcome note and bottle of champagne upon arriving. The location was right off the main highway I35 to get to downtown and was only a 17$ Uber ride home :) 
I would definitely recommend her house to anyone visiting Austin. "
925130,30775349,2015-04-27,24360007,Keely,"We enjoyed our quick weekend stay in this newly renovated retro style home. It was clean and big enough for our group of seven. Very easy to get to off of I-35 or 183. Close to Lamar midtown eateries and bars. Only draw back for us was that we booked this home based on it's 5 minute walk (seemed longer) to the metro only to find out it doesn't start running until 4 pm on the weekends so we took the bus instead and it took us almost an hour to get to SOCO. We ended up using Uber on the way home which cost us $30. Other than that, this home was great and I would definitely book again. "
925130,31323385,2015-05-04,1758065,Anna,We had a great stay.  I definitely recommend this house!
925130,33069474,2015-05-25,12576284,Chieh,Danielle's house was exactly as what the pictures look like. Cozy but yet spacious home that fits my family of 6 with no problem. Danielle is a lovely host who was easy to reach throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend staying at Danielle's place for those who are interested in visiting Austin in the future! 
925130,49556925,2015-10-04,45293049,Jody,"This precious house was exactly what I was hoping for: clean, cozy, comfortable, and safe.  Danielle was a wonderful hostess, responsive, and super easy to get in touch with.  The house was exactly as pictured, except it's even cuter in person!  We loved cooking in the spacious, bright kitchen and sitting around the table chatting over the bottle of wine she had kindly left for us.  Great location as well!  I would absolutely stay here again, and I would recommend it without hesitation. "
925130,50510363,2015-10-12,3905673,Karey,"Great communication with the host before our trip. She was helpful with places to eat and was accommodating with use of an air mattress and a pack n play for our 10 week old baby. 

House was perfect for our large group and close to downtown. We didn't use the metro, but awesome that it's so close. 

We loved our stay!!! Thanks again!! "
925130,51387766,2015-10-19,4142278,Rohan,"We had a very pleasant stay at Danielle's large, comfortable, and clean place. No complaints at all. As long as you have a car it's close to most things you need to do. 

Would do it again and recommend it to anyone. "
5851794,30367772,2015-04-20,31118022,Jeremy,"My stay at Veronica's was nothing but pleasant. The part of her home I stayed in was nicely decorated and I liked a lot of the personal touches-- the kitchenette is pretty rad. Veronica is a super sweet lady; nice to talk to, but not ""up in your business"" in any way. Everything was clean and overall, awesome. The bed was exceptionally comfortable-- I'm not sure I've slept that well in a long time. Also, her dog Zeus is my new pal, such an awesome pup. I plan to stay here for my next trip to Austin. "
5851794,31460007,2015-05-05,15478055,Andrea,"This cute studio was perfect for my husband and I for a long weekend, though we had a car, which I highly recommend. Though the studio was a bit rustic, it was clean and provided plenty of towels, plus a nice little kitchenette. Central air made the temperature perfect and the backyard was cute to sit and read in the morning with a cup of coffee. For most of the time, Veronica wasn't there, but left contact information for her daughter who lives locally if there was a problem--which there wasn't at all. The keyless entry made it really easy. The studio is attached to the main home, so when the host did return, you could here some TV/sounds through the wall, but nothing loud or annoying. The neighborhood is really cute and there are wonderful food and coffee options close by (highly recommend Seventh Flag for coffee, Elizabeth St Cafe for wonderful Vietnamese including brunch, and Polvos for Tex-Mex). It isn't just an easy walk to downtown, though."
5851794,32572017,2015-05-19,31995304,Alisa,My daughter said the room was great and Veronica was a wonderful host.  I plan to request a reservation there the next time my husband and I are in Austin.
5851794,32729431,2015-05-20,20518962,John,"I had a great time at Verinica's little cottage in South Austin. Great place, great host.. Super friendly and accommodating. I'll be back"
5851794,33117880,2015-05-25,1908973,Thomas,I liked this apartment enough to come back and to my pleasant surprise it had been remodeled with a new bed and even cooler vintage fixtures than before.   Location feels close to everything although it is hidden away in a quiet  residential area itself.  I will be back yet again I am sure. 
5851794,33590333,2015-05-30,5383102,Bo,"Veronica had the place ready very promptly. Was clean and orderly. Lovely home with lots of plants and trees in such an unique neighborhood. Location was fantastic for us as we are avid bikers and enjoyed the city via bike. Everything is so close and we enjoyed not using our vehicle to explore the city of Austin.

The room was nice and looks exactly as pictured. The only minor complaint we had was the room was fairly humid and warm (although Austin just had record flooding so I am sure that didn't help matters). "
5851794,33823121,2015-06-01,4576085,Timea,We had an amazing weekend stay at Veronica's place. It's incredibly well located: we walked to the nearby food truck park and South Congress. The room is cozy for two but has everything you need for a stay. We loved the sounds of nature coming from the outside garden area. Keyless entry is the best! We'll definitely be back.
5851794,34447587,2015-06-08,5786432,Johanna,"Adorable neighborhood and great, groovy, cozy, private room. Very clean and comfortable. I spaced out and was late checking out but Veronica and her daughter were very kind and forgiving about that! Loved the yard and pond right outside of my entrance. Lovely sounds of nature. For a few hours on my first night the frogs (and maybe geckos?) were particularly active - I was glad I brought my trusty earplugs as I am among the lightest of sleepers. Less than half a mile away there's El Alma Cafe (where I had a nice brunch), First Stop Food Store (convenience store), and Austin Tri-Cyclist (I rented a bike for the day for only $35 and went all around town). Hope to see you again soon, thanks Veronica!"
5851794,34895845,2015-06-13,9078034,Steven,"It was a lovely, quiet stay in Barton Springs. We enjoyed the nature and ease that ths listing provided as we went around the city for our business. Veronica was very respectful and provided everything we needed without even being asked. "
5851794,35139470,2015-06-15,34266300,Michael,Veronica was absolutely amazing! She was very generous and kind. When we arrived she greeted us and we all shared some stories and experiences. Meeting Veronica was the highlight of our weekend. Her home was beautiful. The studio that we stayed in was absolutely wonderful and was perfectly located. Uber rides averaged no more than $10. The room temperature was great. This was a great experience. We will be back for ACL. 
5851794,35494098,2015-06-19,24107299,Christof,"I experienced Veronica as a friendly and warm-hearted person. I felt very welcome and I've got everything I need. If you wanna know something about Austin's music scene ask Veronica, she's an extraordinary authority. That's Real Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove. Hope to come back again soon.
"
5851794,36296576,2015-06-27,31246240,Leah,"I highly recommend staying at Veronica's Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove. We felt truly at home. The room was perfect for two people, and the decor was beautiful and authentically Austin. She gave us great ideas on where to eat and watch live music. I can't wait to come back and stay again! "
5851794,36792873,2015-07-01,9946633,James,"Nice place with the gentle chirping of frogs in the exterior water feature, nice little kitchen, comfy bed and clean bathroom. Fun aesthetic. "
5851794,37572584,2015-07-08,12676468,Lauren,"This was seriously one of the most memorable experiences I had while in Austin. Veronica was an absolute gem, her place had so much character and spirit, I felt like I was actually going 'home' every night. The location is hard to beat, central to everything you can actually walk many places and even take public transit. The property is so unique and I loved the fountain right outside our door! I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a genuine Austin experience."
5851794,38013607,2015-07-12,11376713,Quinn,Veronica's place is lovely and in such a great location. She has a lovely garden and pond right off of the apartment. It was a great place to wake up! She was extremely welcoming and made me feel right at home! I would absolutely stay here again
5851794,40234993,2015-07-29,36570195,Brian,This Airbnb was so much fun.  It exceeded our expectations.  The house sits right in the heart of South Austin.  We could explore this gorgeous neighborhood and also easily walk into downtown.  There are several excellent restaurants within about a quarter mile of the house.  The room was so charming.  It has been carefully and thoughtfully decorated with that cool Austin vibe.  It was perfect for us as a home base to relax when we came back from our days out and about.  The kitchenette and bathroom had all of the amenities you could possibly need and there were lots of guidebooks and magazines that we used to figure out what we wanted to do each day.  I would love to stay here again.  
5851794,40602011,2015-08-01,9954945,Terra,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights, it was awesome! It's in a great neighborhood, close to South Congress, downtown, Barton Springs, putt-putt golf, and within walking distance to amazing food trucks (Gordoughs Doughnuts and Torchy's Tacos!!) The room was very cute and eclectic. Having a private area with bathroom and small kitchen was really nice. Comfy bed, great AC, and private. We never met Veronica, as she was out of town, but she was very easy and prompt with her communication, and she even arranged to have the room ready for us a bit early. We would definitely recommend staying here! "
5851794,40943783,2015-08-03,3692244,Landon,Veronica's Cosmic Grove was a perfect getaway visit the best areas of Austin. We felt welcome the moment we arrived and were excited to see all of the Austin centric memorabilia. Highly recommended to any who want an extraordinary experience.
5851794,42277198,2015-08-12,36229269,Brittany,"Although we didn't personally meet Veronica she was super helpful and always responded quickly to any questions or needs before and during our stay. When we arrived her daughter greeted us and was friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable, charming and definitely cools down quickly once the a/c is on. There are a lot of great magazines to help you find places to check out, everything was a nice walking distance so you could see a lot of the neighborhood- which is quite lovely, and transportation was very easy from the location. Besides the intense heat it was a very nice stay! "
5851794,43533849,2015-08-20,39643742,Briana,"Amy was accommodating to our late arrival. Clean, cute guest house in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed it! Would recommend."
5851794,44539833,2015-08-27,4923168,Johann,"Veronica had a very nice setup for us with a hip and fun décor. Room and bathroom were very clean, useful local magazines and newspaper, AC worked great, bed comfortable, and especially enjoyed the French press for some early morning coffee. House is in a great location, $6 uber ride to downtown and 6th street area and also very close to the more hipster South Austin area. Veronica was very friendly to us and gave us great recommendations on where to go, especially enjoyed the Continental Club on her recommendation."
5851794,47037356,2015-09-15,24638611,Felix,"Stayed here with my partner and we had the best time! Veronica is a friendly and helpful host, and told us about local things to check out. The room is so colourful and full of Texas character. The AC is great too, we were so comfortable even though it was hot out. In a quiet area of town as well, we slept really well! Would definitely stay here again."
5851794,47632159,2015-09-21,35004842,Diane,"I was in Austin for my Rodan + Fields convention. Her adorable eclectic apartment is less than 2 miles from the convention center which I had no problem getting there and back economically via Uber. Several of the Uber drivers stated it was one of the best neighborhoods in south Austin. The apartment was extremely clean, well stocked with towels, and the bed was very comfortable. Veronica is about as sweet as they come! She kindly met all my needs and went above and beyond to make sure my stay was wonderful! If I ever come back to Austin and need a place to stay, I'll be contacting Veronica!!"
5851794,48134911,2015-09-23,33388810,Paolo,Authentic Texan house nearby S Congress Avenue which has lovely coffee spots and torchys tacos nearby :) it is 5 min cycle away from the centre of town and the parks by the river are wonderful. Also there are amenity shops nearby which are handy. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Bathroom was ok too. The price has to be taken into account though when considering the level of the room.
5851794,48683970,2015-09-28,35602474,Matthew,"Veronica was lovely, great recommendations. Location is perfect - close to everything but in a quiet leafy suburban street. Great looking bedroom, well appointed kitchen. Can't say enough nice things - would Strongly recommend"

919185,11007517,2014-03-17,66270,Daniel,"Had a great stay at Larry's. It's an expansive property with a terrific outdoor area. The house is comfortable and well appointed with a nice open layout. You couldn't ask for a better location - lots of awesome bars and restaurants around the corner, and still only a few minutes walk to the heart of downtown. Larry was great to deal with and would highly recommend. "
919185,27824552,2015-03-12,279243,Keau,"Larry and his family are amazing hosts. They made me and my group feel so welcome in their beautiful home. This house is perfect for a stay in Austin. It is close to everything, yet the perfect distance away that it's peaceful and quiet. A dip pool is the best way to cool off after a long day. Thank you Larry!"
919185,38003635,2015-07-12,2638973,Shashant,Our stay at this beautiful house was absolutely amazing.  We had everything we needed and were very happy with all the amenities.  Annette was a great host and very easy to work with.  Looking forward to coming back :).

It was a nice, comfortable, stylish and inviting place to come back to at the end of each day. Thank you for the seamless and delightful experience! "
8482616,50360655,2015-10-11,5569742,Nova,"The apartment was not clean. The bathroom was dirty with other people's hair around the sink and in the bathtub. Shower drain did not drain. Toothpaste splatters on faucet and mirror. The shower curtain was held on by 5 hooks that did not function. Bedroom ceiling fan makes horrible grinding sound.

Becca made us aware of some ""quirks"" of the place, like running the shower hot water for a long time to get it warm, but there is no excuse for a filthy bathroom.

We addressed these issues at checkout. Upon asking for cleaning fee to be refunded, she refused.

We've had great experiences with AirBnB stays in the past. This was not one of those.

Will definitely be back!!"
2281665,13457883,2014-05-27,630638,Michael,Everything was as expected. Awesome little place nestled perfectly inside of South Congress. Everything was clean and working perfectly.
2281665,21297579,2014-10-14,21328687,Benjamin,"The stay was wonderful. Very clean, updated appliances, and a comfortable modern feel. Easily walk or bike ride to several restaurants and little shops.  We also used a ride service a few times to quickly get to South Congress or the 6th street area.

We stayed while there was a festival at Zilker park and were able to pretty comfortably walk back and forth to the park, often stopping along the way to get food at one of the restaurants. Maybe 30-35 mins total walking time excluding stops.

Overall, we could not have been happier with the experience."
2281665,22043519,2014-10-28,8310509,Sara,Carey's place was just as described; clean and in a great location within a short walk/drive to most attractions downtown and plenty of restaurants. We had so much fun in our Austin experience!! Carey was responsive and helpful and we would stay again anytime!!
2281665,22671979,2014-11-11,3196718,Armand,"Carey's place is gorgeous. Just as pictured and located close enough to downtown that you're within a quick cab or bike, but far enough that you can feel like a South Austin local. It comfortably slept three of us (bed, futon, and air mattress), with room for one more on the bed. I'd highly recommend staying here!"
2281665,27030862,2015-02-23,27100235,Ryan,"The apartment above Careys garage is a wonderful little place to stay, the pictures do not do it justice. Carey was extremely welcoming and helpful with sugesstions for things to do.

It was my birthday weekend and I wanted to get away from Houston for a tad bit with some friends of mine. The location of the place was  great, walking distance to South Congress and drivable to every major Austin destination. We had a great time and will definitely be back."
2281665,28208397,2015-03-20,26338936,Oscar,"Careys place was perfect for what we needed for our SXSW trip to Austin. Apartment was just as described and everything was in order on arrival, clean apartment, fresh towels and linen, even local beer in the fridge. Apartment suited us two perfectly with a nice bedroom and bathroom and spacious livingroom with kitchen. Apartment is just a short taxiride from downtown, so easy getting around. All in all everything was great and would definetly rent again if I go to Austin."
2281665,33167334,2015-05-25,32134126,Kayla,Great location & beautiful space! Carey was extremely helpful and responded quickly to any inquiries. It was our first time in Austin and we will definitely come back and stay here next time! The entire apartment is upgraded and modern. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
2281665,46542599,2015-09-11,15498190,My-Cherie,"I stayed at this fantastic south Austin cozy apartment with my too little kids for 2wks. Carey was available and very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and the couch becomes a bed as well. There's a jacuzzi tub that we took advantage of as well.  This is in the perfect location close to downtown, walking distance to the grocery store and the bus stop. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Thanks for the opp Carey! "

970390,3792189,2013-03-15,1790155,Lindsay,"Jenn was delightful and so kind to me during my visit to Austin to attend SXSW. As an entertainment attorney on business at SXSW, I was up at dawn and back late at night. I was sure that my routine would create consternation in my host! On the contrary, Jenn was totally understanding and accommodating. In fact, she even supplied me with new pillows and sheets for my room to make me feel welcome, and was always available to me by phone or text. As a result, my stay was one of the best I've had at SXSW! Jenn's place turned out to be totally convenient to SXSW and downtown Austin. I enthusiastically recommend Jenn and her place to anyone looking for a wonderful host and sanctuary while in Austin."

970390,10923343,2014-03-13,9257963,Kazuyo,"It was really a great experience staying at Jenn's place. I loved how home interior, cleanness, her cat Aisas, and Jenn's hospitality!!! I was so impressed that Jenn gave me a ride to downtown on the first day I arrived Austin to pick up my SXSW badge, brought me around in downtown and had dinner together at the Tex-mex place. As it was the first time to visit Austin especially in such a crowded SXSW timing, her help made me so relieved. Also, she often gave me Facebook message to check if I am okay with everything (i.e. if I have ride to go home, etc) For those people who visit Austin, I highly recommend to stay at Jenn's place. You cannot get any better place to feel so much at home!

PS: Renting a car is highly recommended to stay in Austin though! Taxi service is not reliable in this city and it was hard for me to move around without a car there. That was the only frustration I had during my stay."
970390,11010293,2014-03-17,10834378,Sabreen,"Staying with Jenn couldn't have been more perfect for my trip to Austin! Her place was clean, spacious and friendly. She was very informative, helpful and lots of fun! I plan to come back again."
970390,12599109,2014-05-05,7031030,Ashraf,"Situated in a quite neighborhood in East Austin gated community, Jenn's house is simply amazing. Not only was Jen a great host she also made sure we were comfortable from the get go. She was kind enough to upgrade us to a bigger room with attached bathroom. Her house is very tastefully done and you can see a streak of Jenn's artistic talent in there. Her cat Isis is a darling and was fun to have around. Jenn was very helpful with suggestions for dining options and places to see. Thanks for making our stay wonderful. Highly recommended. "
970390,12768214,2014-05-10,9387747,Carly,Jenn's house is great! Easy location to get to campus or downtown. We stayed in the master bedroom with a very comfy bed and private shower. We didn't see jenn much but she seemed very nice. Her cat Isis is awesome and has lots of personality. Definitely stay here 
970390,19338683,2014-09-10,20586423,Timothy,"What a great, warm and welcoming host. Jenn was wonderful, from the moment we arrived till leaving a week later. Great local insight, ideas on things to do and loads of more info to truly experience Austin as a local. Can not say enough about how well received we were, felt like staying with a friend.  Definitely stay again."
970390,22291326,2014-11-03,701243,Steve,"What a great stay I had in Austin. Jenn's place is spotless, quiet, and in a great area. I was there for the Formula One race, so the location was great for access to both downtown Austin and the track. Jenn gave me great ideas for places to eat. The room is exactly as advertised, and was actually even better than I expected. There was Wifi access and a computer in the room. Had my own full bathroom, and it was stocked with fresh supplies like the toothpaste that I had forgot to bring.
Can't recommend her place enough!
Just don't come on the F1 weekend, because that's MY weekend!"
970390,22638496,2014-11-10,23455144,Anthony,Great experience. Safe place to stay and host is very nice. Highly recommended.

970390,33187273,2015-05-25,764182,Dane,Jenn and Chi were great hosts and I highly recommend their place.
970390,46241373,2015-09-08,3252189,Dan,"We absolutely loved our stay at Jenn & Chi's place. From the moment we sent her a last minute booking request they were responsive, accommodating and super friendly.️

The room was very clean and comfortable - that bed! We enjoyed the use of the Apple TV which had a full subscription to Netflix and Hulu as well as a host of other channels.

Jenn and Chi were full of great recommendations and tips. We would highly recommend staying here to anyone. Thanks for making Austin so much fun!
 "
970390,49703357,2015-10-05,27760498,Tyler,We had a wonderful time at Jenn and Chi's place. We didn't get to meet Jenn as she was traveling but her correspondence was great and Chi was a perfect host. Great location that is very close to all the fun stuff in Austin. The Apple TV and Netflix were a great plus! Super cute home and great people. Will stay again when back in Austin.
970390,50413096,2015-10-11,6169610,Chloé,The apartment was very very nice and clean. Jenn was very friendly as well. In a very safe gated community. I wish it was possible to bike to downtown but it was a bit far. Aside from that HIGHLY recommend staying with Jenn in this trendy clean apartment 
4493865,25225501,2015-01-09,14400013,Joona,"I had a really good one-night stay in the trailer. It was in a residential area with a nice ""Austin vibe"", and a two-minute walk from a bus stop. Great!"
4493865,25389063,2015-01-14,25053133,Thomas,"Airstream was perfect. Was decked out as described. Awesome people, awsome home, awsome vibe. Close to all things you could ask for, venues, food etc. Five stars. "
4493865,25577240,2015-01-19,4057381,KarMan,"The neigbhourhood was great, it gave me the real East Austin Experience! Love the Trailer - exactly how it has been described. Gave me the feeling as I was living at my friends backyard. Finegan is a great host, she is very welcoming and you can see she takes good care of the trailer! Fell in love with Austin partly because of this experience! "
4493865,25832544,2015-01-26,2307605,Carly,"Very attentive host and friendly people not only on the property but in the neighborhood. Had I not signed a lease in Austin today, I'd stay again! Finnigan anticipated my needs down to small details, was reliable on the check in arrangements, and I'm sure she'd have been helpful had other things come up. The trailer is fun for one but I'd feel cramped with a second. A cool place for an authentic Austin experience."
4493865,26174057,2015-02-05,2895397,Ren,"Staying in Finegan's cute trailer was exactly what I was looking for! It was cozy, comfortable and very well-decorated! Finegan was a great host as well - she was able to be flexible for my unique travel arrangements and made me feel super at home!"
4493865,26369366,2015-02-10,20017966,Julie,"These accommodations are the icing on the cake for a quirky, original experience in Austin. My husband and I were completely charmed by the little camper and Finegan. It is a cozy little space that is thoughtfully decorated, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."
4493865,26454557,2015-02-13,1402313,Sara,Absolutely loved it.  Would stay here again and hopefully will.
4493865,26567864,2015-02-15,27433050,Nick,Lovely cosy place to stay.  Great Austin experience and warm host.
4493865,26784355,2015-02-19,12010045,Carey,"We had such a lovely stay in Finegan's trailer. Her and Jason made us feel completely at home, and even let us borrow a phone charger! The trailer and main house are beautifully decorated with little treasures everywhere, and the trailer is small but very cozy. We had a couple of cold nights but the space heater and all the blankets kept us warm. There's also an A/C if you have the opposite issue. We even built a fire in the fire pit right outside the trailer our last night there. 

The neighborhood felt very central to all of the things we wanted to do in Austin - most of the places we went were within comfortable biking distance. Definitely recommended!"
4493865,27024751,2015-02-23,25528864,Mimi,"Hello Airbnb! When you come to Austin you MUST stay in this sweet wood-paneled trailer. It's cozy and simply romantic for a couple who do not mind close quarters, or comfortable for a single traveler. The hosts are wonderful! A busy couple, full of fun projects at their home and out and about in Austin. Finegan stocked the trailer with basic amenities for our stay and the main house (with the bathroom) was just a hop away, across a cute backyard. Also, their dogs are incredibly sweet. 

The immediate neighborhood is residential within greater East Austin where a whole of good food and good music can be found. We tried to do Austin without a car but on the second day rented one and never looked back. 

I can't speak highly enough of the hosts and the perfection that was this trailer. It was great to meet them and a we had great time in Austin! "
4493865,27393820,2015-03-03,26371314,Audrey,"Loved the trailer. It was not the warmest of weekends but the space heater kept us comfortable. 

I loved the coffee shop Figure 8 nearby. 

This place rocked for the eclectic Austin vacation we wanted. Would stay again in a heartbeat. "
4493865,27660842,2015-03-09,16062506,Andrew,"Finegan was awesome. She was super accommodating and friendly with lots of input on what to do in Austin. The Trailer was awesome, quaint and filled with cool relics. It was super cool to have chickens hanging out outside and she also had some new ducklings we got to enjoy for a bit. We booked this on our phones and didn't realize there would be dogs on premise (a fear of my girlfriends) but Finegan was super accommodating with keeping the dogs at bay and making her stay as comfortable as possible. Definitely recommend staying here!"
4493865,28721254,2015-03-29,28318033,Taylor,Such a great stay! The trailer was cozy and quaint and located just a short drive from great bars and restaurants. Wonderful hosts! 
4493865,29046654,2015-04-03,1608058,Erin,"The listing was completely accurate and very easy and lovely 
And peaceful place 
A real urban farm experiance complete with chickens and a goat wild backyard fire pit etc what's not to love?
I am so happy I stayed on the east side of town as they're so many cute places to go right nearby 
Using the bathroom in the house was easy and the trailer was perfect for one 
I never met the hosts which was fine as I'm very self sufficient 
The host was great responding to my texts of where to eat where to have coffee etc and she had great taste in all her recommendations she gave me 
I would have loved to have met fine gan but maybe next time 
Perfect place for anyone who loves nature and peace and being cozy !"
4493865,29747669,2015-04-12,26824671,Sarah,"This trailer was a perfect home for the week I was in Austin. Very cozy and comfortable, quiet. I enjoyed sitting out in the backyard and drinking coffee in the mornings. The backyard is a lush, cozy setting in a very handy East Austin location. I used Car2Go to get around, and there were always some within walking distance. Finegan is a warm, kind host. Definitely recommend some time in the trailer!"
4493865,30907268,2015-04-28,22176529,Emma,"I had a wonderful time st Finegan's trailer. Its exactly as pictured in the post, clean cosy and beautiful."
4493865,31633825,2015-05-08,17087536,Suanay,"Cute cozy place. Trailer was bigger than we thought. Finegan was very lovely, she left us fresh water and coffee grounds with an electric kettle and french press which was very sweet! Dogs are very sweet, temperature inside trailer was perfect :)"
4493865,31848968,2015-05-10,16779103,Colin,Finegan's place was exactly what we wanted and she made us feel welcome as soon as we got there. We had some logistical issues getting to Austin and Finegan worked around our changing schedule. Great place to stay! 
4493865,32071724,2015-05-13,20066654,Dan,"The trailer was great! A very cool and unique place to stay while exploring Austin.

4493865,32585732,2015-05-19,28308448,Emma,"I was in town for a craft fair, and so was pretty busy during the stay. The trailer was the perfect respite at the end of a long day. I loved sitting on the little porch with the chickens and taking in the fireflies."
4493865,33009373,2015-05-24,334921,Maggie,"We loved our stay with Finnegan. She and Jason were welcoming, kind and accommodating. The trailer is adorable and the bed was very comfortable. We were there during some pretty intense rain storms and there was a small leak. There were also a lot of bugs because of how wet it was but those things didn't prevent us from having a great time."
4493865,35114032,2015-06-15,10899811,Phillip,"The trailer was perfect for our stay, very cute and clean, with quite a comfy bed. It rained during our stay but the trailer stayed dry, & the a/c kept us cool. Finegan was responsive and flexible with our check in time after a delayed flight. Would stay again!"
4493865,36354916,2015-06-27,8520659,Megan,"Finegan and I were ships passing for the one night I stayed here, but she was friendly, fast, and super flexible about my last-minute request. The trailer is adorable -- I highly recommend it. "
4493865,37122668,2015-07-04,4474215,Jonathan,A uniquely Austin experience! We loved staying in this charming and awesome place. Finegan was a wonderful and welcoming host to my wife and I!
4493865,37267994,2015-07-05,4893263,Jennifer,"The trailer was great, and Finegan's family was very sweet!

4493865,37970191,2015-07-12,9806149,Alexandra,"Unfortunately we were only able to stay for one quick night because this place was AWESOME!! The trailer was so comfortable, cozy and inviting! The property was like a dream (if you love whimsical, farmyard, antique style things!) Finegan was very flexible with our check in/check out time and very responsive to our messages prior to our stay. There was even a cool new outdoor shower installation! Definitely recommend this place and am hoping to return some day! "
4493865,40872224,2015-08-02,39966590,David,"This place has so much charm, you won't even know what to do with all of the leftover charm after you've had your fill. Finnegan is a really great host, too. We felt very welcome here. I probably wouldn't go back in August, though, as it got pretty hot in the trailer."
4493865,42066764,2015-08-10,34734965,Jorge,Lovely place in Austin I hope I come back soon!

4493865,45852603,2015-09-06,14913054,Jackie,We had a great time staying in the glamper. When we arrived our hosts had coffee and water for us. The AC worked great and the place was adorable. It was like something off Pinterest! Would totally stay again it was perfect and a quick drive to downtown. 
4493865,46208272,2015-09-08,27267129,Michael,Had an amazing time in Finnegan's trailer!! She makes the little space very comfortable and it was absolutely perfect for my short stay in Austin :)

4493865,48881308,2015-09-29,6278636,Jimbo,"Amazingly cool and quirky place to stay in a cool and quirky city. The trailer is very cute and cozy, and the guys have great taste in decor. It feels great showering in the outside bathroom but the guys are happy for you to use the inside one if needed. Finegan, her boyfriend and some friends we met, were all super nice and laid back. It's probably better if you have a car as it's not the closest to town but is still walkable. The guys are happy to give good recommendations of places to eat/drink etc and there are some closer options other than downtown. "
4493865,49684360,2015-10-05,11120059,Travis,"The camper was a fun, relaxing way to spend the weekend. The hosts were great and super friendly. The outdoor shower is a really cool feature as well. Would definitely stay again."

4493865,51982707,2015-10-25,1988767,Michael,"Finegan was very accommodating when, due to bad weather and plane trouble, my GF got to Austin a couple hours ahead of me.  Finnegan said that it was no problem and let her crash and wait for me.  For someone that lives in NYC, the outdoor shower was a treat."
4493865,53187145,2015-11-06,8728338,Tyler,"Had a wonderful time in Finegan's trailer. It's charmingly decorated, clean, and comfortable. I also had some great showers in their outdoor facility.

Finegan was a wonderful host. She was flexible with my travel schedule and enthusiastically responsive to any questions I had.

Highly recommend."
6900540,39122650,2015-07-20,14449695,Jonn,"An AMAZING house on the East Side that has everything you need! It's so close to the lake that we enjoyed nice walks with our dogs around it. The fenced in patio area was great enjoying the nice weather in privacy!
We arrived to find the fridge stocked with beverages and snacks...very nice touch.
The house was so comfortable and had all the amenities you would expect.
We will be back with friends next time to take advantage of all three bedrooms! 
The host informed us on a street closure so we could plan ahead to avoid any delays getting around...nice touch!"
6900540,40864847,2015-08-02,34669403,Ronnie,The host canceled this reservation 54 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Very welcoming, with complimentary goodies :) I will def stay here again and have already recommended the home to many family and friends. Very clean and looks exactly as it does in the photos. 10/10 for sure! Great communication with Jim from before booking throughout my stay. Loved the binder of what to do in Austin and surrounding areas, very helpful! Taco trucks in walking distance :D"
6900540,42176584,2015-08-11,38573555,Titus,"Jim is the man! We had a wonderful time staying at his beautiful place! Plenty of space for the 4 of us at a great price. On top of that, Jim was an exceptional host! Upon our arrival, we found beverages in the fridge, snacks in the pantry, and a chocolate bar beside each nightstand! It was such a delightful surprise! Jim was also a great communicator throughout the trip, giving us feed back on places to eat and things to do in Austin. I would highly recommend this place! We will be back again for sure! "
6900540,43106496,2015-08-17,2459132,Emily,"We loved the beautiful and spacious home Jim so graciously extended to us.

Our UT alumni group had a spectacular time on this trip and are grateful to Jim for a great experience.  Thank you, Jim, we hope to be back again soon!"
6900540,45144748,2015-08-31,39974121,Kimberly,Jim was an extremely kind and very accommodating host. I would definitely recommend him and book with him again myself in the future. 
6900540,45988930,2015-09-07,40640390,Ryan,House was very well appointed. Very clean and spacious and fully stocked with snacks and beverages. We were very very pleased and will definitely stay again next time in Austin. Thank you for your hospitality! Best AirB&B hands down! 
6900540,47280415,2015-09-17,29166412,Silvia,"What can we say! This place was all that we expected and more...  Wish we could have enjoyed more but COTA took most of our time... We walked to the lake early morning, walked to juice bar and food trucks only a couple of blocks away and a great Vegan Bakery on Cesar Chavez that had amazing Cinnamon Rolls! The house was perfect and the goodies left for us a pleasant surprise! 
Coffee, fresh bread & Brie from my favorite food market, Trader Joe's, some local brew! Left Jim one of my favorites, Lobo Negro!!! 
We will most definitely come back next year for our event and maybe stay a few extra days to truly enjoy Jim's place!!!

Only issue was the resident squirrel throwing seeds at Carlos' head when he sat outside...  But by the time we left, after some shared pop-corn, they were best friends! LOL"
6900540,47640104,2015-09-21,36089406,Sandra,"We just returned from a great weekend in Austin.  Jim’s home was the perfect place for our family get together.  From day one Jim communicated with me on details of Austin and how to go about checking into the home. We were welcomed with snack, drinks and chocolate’s bedside which we enjoyed.  Jim also had a binder with food places to try and places to see.  We found this very helpful. The home was exactly as seen in the photos, the bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms very clean.  The closet space in the master allowed for us to lay out our suitcases and hang clothing.  A bonus was the clothing steamer! The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting in the family area and found it very comfortable to just sit and visit.  The location is ideal for visiting downtown Austin, close enough to 6th street but in a quiet neighborhood. This was our first Airbnb experience and I thank Jim for making it a great experience.  I highly recommend this location and Jim as a host."
6900540,49798931,2015-10-06,42681660,Darla,What a great house!  Very comfortable for our family with two teenagers.  Convenient location and felt like home away from home.  Great way to spend a weekend in an awesome city.  The owners were very helpful in suggesting places to eat and ways to get around.  
6900540,50462382,2015-10-12,37602879,Mike,"First time user of Airbnb, absolutely impressed with our entire experience. Jim & Mai had everything covered beyond our expectations. They provided comfortable clean accommodations and very thoughtful on all of our needs. Additionally they treated us like locals during a very busy ACL weekend. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
6900540,51280610,2015-10-19,21466410,Mary,"We loved the house, especially the open living space and outside patio area. We enjoyed the easy access to the Town Lake trail. This house is a great location for exploring East Austin. I recommend staying here!"
6900540,52217552,2015-10-27,41495065,Jeff,"Being a rookie at this I had no idea what to expect, but this place was really just great.  There were six adults in our party and the spaces worked out perfectly.  Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, kitchen, all of it was really nice.  And the outdoor seating area, too.  That has to be the world's largest pecan tree.  We all would recommend this place.  "
6900540,53113369,2015-11-05,5516769,Ian,"Great stay. Good location right by town trail and close to good eating and drinking places in East Austin. Beautiful house, very comfortable and well equipped for our party of five. Particularly appreciated the food and drink that Mai and Jim provided for us. There were lots of thoughtful touches around the house and a very useful manual introducing us to Austin. Highly recommended. "
1378094,7043860,2013-09-04,5385824,Trey,"Daniel was a great host.  He was very responsive during booking, meeting us for check-in, and even helped us find fun places to visit in Austin.  The home was in great condition and everything was clean and well maintained.  There were even a few cold beers in the fridge.  The location is ideal if you have a car or bike.  Don't underestimate the Quickie Pickie store nearby for a cold beer, hot coffee or a quick snack.  Overall, we had a wonderful time and Daniel's home was perfect for our trip to Austin.  Cheers.  Thanks Daniel!"
1378094,8134020,2013-10-17,6687666,David,"This house was a pleasure to stay in: well-appointed, comfortable furniture, good appliances, great bathrooms and bedrooms. It looks just as beautiful in person as it does in the photos. The property was clean and well-maintained. The service managing the property was prompt in answering our questions. I would definitely recommend this property for a visit to Austin: it's conveniently located to East Austin bars and restaurants and quite close to the rest of Austin too. We were there for ACL and had a blast! 
"

We had the most amazing weekend in Austin! Thank you so much, ill be sure to recommend your GORGEOUS house to anyone I know heading down south! Thank you for being so accommodating from the very beginning of this process.

Best,

1378094,8633798,2013-11-09,19246,Cynthia,"Lovely modern house, perfect for our needs. I was touring with my band and wanted to book some non-hotel lodging for our couple of days off in Austin. We didn't meet anyone in person, but the keycode entry worked great, and a few folks called to check up on us throughout our stay. This seems to be purely a vacation/rental property—no personal items in sight, and every room is available for use. Really appreciated the laundry room stocked with detergent too! Highly recommended spot for people looking to explore Austin without paying exorbitant prices for a hotel near downtown."
1378094,9582261,2014-01-03,7990199,Cindy,"Great space and location!  Comfortable beds, lots of seating.  Great value.  We were there for 10 days for a family reunion Christmas."
1378094,10683725,2014-03-03,11584940,Melissa,"Perfect spot for our weekend in Austin. The house is beautiful with comfortable furniture and a great backyard!  Daniel & Erica were outstanding, calling when we were scheduled to arrive to make sure everything was okay.  We enjoyed the neighborhood - walking down 11th to Blue Dahlia as well as stopping by some spots on E 6th. It was also a nice walk down to the Capitol. Would definitely recommend. "
1378094,11003667,2014-03-17,1803089,Virgil,Great space within walking distance of most of the happenings at Sxsw. Lots of great restaurants nearby as well as a HEB grocery store. The kitchen was great as we cooked most breakfasts. The house is very nice. The bathrooms were great. It was nice that there were plenty of towels as well as a washer/dryer to wash the towels. Could not be happier about this place. thanks for allowing us to stay. Our SxSw trip was fantastic. 
1378094,11536788,2014-04-07,10572769,Jane," This rental is exactly how it is pictured and described.  The home is very well kept with all the amenities needed for a getaway in Austin.  Easy access to sights, food--best food trucks-- music and the airport. Highly recommend when looking for a place to stay in Austin."
1378094,12124305,2014-04-23,5943393,Sean,"Brilliant place, not exactly as advertised as property came with access to a Samsung tablet that I didn't pick up on being listed on airbnb.

An excellent place to stay. "

1378094,13890146,2014-06-07,1184914,Amy,"A group of 4 work colleagues stayed here while at a conference. It was definitely more relaxing than staying in a hotel (we had a kitchen and living room to chill out and socialize). It was an easy walk to get downtown and it was close to nightlife where we could unwind. We didn't have a car but walking everywhere from this location was easy. 

The house itself was clean and modern which made it nice to come back to after a long day in that Texas humidity! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends!"
1378094,21284911,2014-10-14,19832197,Meghan,"Turnkey assistance was readily available the few times I had to call them. The process was very easy. The house itself was nicely furnished, clean, and comfortable for our group of 4.  At first we were not sure about the East Austin location as it seemed out of the way but we quickly realized that it was a very quick taxi/uber ride to all of the places we wanted to go. "
1378094,22360814,2014-11-04,21230460,Randy,"The house was good, the neighborhood was marginal but the location was good.

The backyard is big and we enjoyed using the grill. The location is a bit out of the way but the neighborhood is quiet and you're within a short drive from a grocery store and great barbecue. "
1378094,28157456,2015-03-19,11403946,Renee,Great house for SXSW. Super convenient to downtown. Would definitely recommend this house to others.

1378094,46004969,2015-09-07,12501417,Tonya,"My sister, my friend and I wanted to get away for the weekend. Daniel's listing was perfect for our girls' weekend. Access to the unit was very easy and the listing was accurate to the pictures that we saw. Daniel was even flexible with the check out time, which we appreciated. I highly recommend working with Daniel when you come to Austin! "
4211596,28525315,2015-03-25,26853096,Maria,"Alison is as lovely as her home. She provides thorough instruction for a pleasant stay. Roomy elegance made a ten-day stay during SXSW a pleasure! If you are looking for an elegant home in a funky, quiet neighborhood, this is your home!"

953640,3952749,2013-03-30,4239182,Judith,"Dustee picked me up at the airport and showed me around town on the ride home. She has a warm and bubbly personality I felt welcome in her house right away. The appartment is cozy and clean and there's a porch with a little table and chairs outside. Cat Gracee adds to the charm. The room has a very comfortable bed,  a working desk I used a lot for my writing and a walk in space for clothes and travelbags.

The house is very well located. You can walk to the action on 6th Street. The nearby coffeehouse, bookshop and the Whole Foods flagship store are all great places to bring a laptop and do some work, or have a chat with the friendly Austines. The house is at walking distance as well from the river parks where the locals kayak, walk their dogs and do their running. 

I extended my stay here because I was so comfortable. If in Austin again, I will certainly stay at Dustees again and highly recommend it."
953640,4064858,2013-04-07,68363,Simeon,"Dustee's place was great, incredibly clean, convenient location, and she had a really comfortable bed.  Everything was very well organized, and I felt very included.  The neighborhood she lives in is great, and is honestly in the middle of everything and a short trip to everything else.  And of course her cat Gracee is literally the best cat ever."
953640,4240962,2013-04-21,5592102,Rachel,"Dustee's house is THE place to stay! You are within walking distance to the flagship Whole Foods, plenty of shopping (lululemon, a bookstore, and REI to name a few), the Shoal Creek & Town Lake trails, and a variety of restaurants. The Texas State Capitol, 6th Street Bars/Restaurants, and the South Congress area are all a short taxi ride away. Best of all, you get to come home to a cozy, open house to relax at the end of the day. Dustee is the perfect host, and so easy to talk to! Her cat, Gracee, is super sweet and a great reading buddy when its raining outside. Can't wait to come back and visit!"
953640,4277438,2013-04-23,2015832,Martin,Lovely apartment and Dustee was very friendly & accommodating. Thanks so much!
953640,4370408,2013-04-30,5944300,Sarah,"Dustee, Gracee (her cat), and Dustee's apartment were all great! The location is perfect for people looking to experience the downtown atmosphere of Austin and Dustee was very helpful in directing my friend and I around the city. This was our first time in Austin and Dustee definitely helped make it an enjoyable one! The apartment is well kept and the whole stay was easy to organize.

Thanks for "
953640,4387406,2013-05-01,5391803,Jason,This was my first time using Airbnb. What a great experience  I will never use a hotel again. Clean and homey with a friendly pet.
953640,4485996,2013-05-07,922216,Steven,"Dustee is a great host for a visitor to Austin. As this was my first time going solo to an AirBnB, I was impressed with how organized the whole arrangement was, and she was really accommodating. Glad I had the opportunity to meet her and Gracee!"
953640,4615199,2013-05-15,2134686,Sarah,"This was my first time using airbnb and Dustee set the bar pretty high! The apartment was really nice and clean, room was cozy and had everything I needed. The location is dangerously convenient since it's walking distance from all the cool places like Whole Foods/Waterloo/Book People and then you'd want to go there every day. It's also really easy to get around since it's on a major road and there's quite a lot of buses going around. Dustee is super nice and accommodating and her cat Gracee is amusing, to say the least. Very much recommended!"
953640,6481980,2013-08-13,7390326,Mike,The reservation was canceled 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
953640,6619289,2013-08-19,6738477,Tyler,Dustee's place was great. As soon as I walked in I felt at home. Dustee was quick to respond before my arrival and very helpful. I had to cut my visit short and return home but I certainly would not hesitate to book another stay at Dustee's the next time I am in Austin. 
953640,7698968,2013-09-30,7852328,Leah,"I had a great time staying at Dustee's place. Everything worked out perfectly, with no issues or complications.

And her cat was just as wonderful as everyone before me had mentioned :) Thanks again Dustee for a great weekend! "
953640,8077574,2013-10-15,6361755,Patrick,"Doesn't get much better than Dustee's apartment, I had an absolute blast during my 4-day stay in Austin! Dustee left notes all over the apartment to help get me oriented when I arrived, which was a very thoughtful thing to do. She was altogether very helpful and remained responsive during my entire stay. The space was very comfortable, I really felt at home the entire time. And Gracee was equally awesome, she provided lots of laughter anytime I was at the apartment. 

Highly recommended place to stay in Austin, great location and great company!! Thanks, Dustee!"
953640,12865392,2014-05-12,5887580,Justin,Dustee is a super cool person and very accommodating. The apartment is about a 10-15 minute walk to the heart of downtown and has everything I needed. Would definitely stay with her (and Gracee) the next time I'm in Austin!
953640,28448115,2015-03-23,13052440,Elena,Great hosts! No problems at all! Their apartment was very convenient to downtown Austin / 6th street / and the majority of SXSW events. Only a short walk away from Whole Foods and anything else you would need.  
953640,33321497,2015-05-26,1190298,Anthony,"The listing was very accurate and we loved the attention to detail in the decorations, cleanliness and logistics the host provided in advance of our arrival! Great location, easy access to downtown Austin and major roadways. Amazing view from the bedroom window of greenery and hearing the birds every morning was a treat! Both Dustee and Rilee were very respectful and checked in on us when Austin was experiencing inclement weather. The host cat, Gracee, was an extra treat as well, she was very cute and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a laid back and simple place to stay with really professional, accessible and friendly hosts."
953640,49716180,2015-10-05,4394573,Andre,"Dustee was very accommodating to my schedule, had everything ready for me (and even sunglasses and sunscreen for during the day at ACL) when I got there. The apartment was terrifically located on W 6th, a short uber ride or walk to all of the action."
953640,50597774,2015-10-12,30942299,Travis,"Dustee was awesome! Her apartment was really cozy and welcoming. It made our stay for ACL that much more awesome, and had a lot of local spots really close by. And her cat, Gracee, was super awesome and the sweetest thing I've ever seen."

Comfortable bed, and clean accommodations. "

The description was totally accurate and their home was very cozy! check in was easy and they were very accommodating the whole trip-- truly felt like staying at your friend's house. The neighborhood is nice, backyard and patio are gorgeous and they even had freshly ground coffee waiting for us. My boyfriend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
6276488,36634410,2015-06-29,36708737,Cassidy,Sommer was an absolute delight from the time we arrived late Saturday afternoon. She gave us a tour of the home and introduced us to their other guest while also offering us free reign of the home. She also helped us out when we were looking for a good meal in the area. 
6276488,36926385,2015-07-02,36929695,Steve,Neighborhood was very quiet and well maintained. The house was very comfortable and Sommer was friendly and very nice to chat with.

6276488,37381250,2015-07-06,36394030,Duc,"The house is lovely, perfectly cleaned, spacious, and exactly as listed. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is fully stocked. There's absolutely nothing to complain about the house.

The biggest delight, however, is Sommer herself. To say that she's a great host would be an understatement. We arrived very late, around 1 AM, but she made sure that we would have no trouble accessing to the house. She made us feel welcomed with her greeting notes, which covered everything from wifi to kitchenwares to living room equipments to board games, etc... We ran into a small problem with the bathroom; Sommer and her boyfriend helped resolve it as fast as humanly possible. We asked for advice about places to go in Austin and how to navigate the city on July 4th. She replied with an incredibly detailed guide that ran about 3 pages long.

TLDR: if you want to visit Austin and are looking for some place that would feel like home, stay at Sommer's!"
6276488,37906883,2015-07-11,36929695,Steve,The experience was very pleasant. The room was as advertised and very comfortable. Sommer was a friendly and outgoing hostess and made me feel very comfortable.

6276488,38361358,2015-07-14,34777135,Shannon,"Sommer was an outstanding host. I booked with her last minute when my friend's and my plans changed and we were arriving in Austin a day early without a place to stay. I requested the room the morning of our stay and she had it ready by our arrival that evening. Her home is beautiful and the back yard is a definite plus. The house was clean, neighborhood was safe, and plenty of street parking available. The place was just as pictured. We shared a bathroom with another guest, but it was no problem as Sommer told us when he was planning to shower so we could coordinate. I wish we could have spent the rest of our stay in Austin with her! She was also extremely welcoming and helpful with recommendations of places to go. She gave some great food recommendations. "
6276488,41549678,2015-08-07,2424459,Patricia,"Lovely place to stay if ever in Austin.  Located in a quiet residential area, not far from Austin, although having a car is a must.
Sommer's house is lovely and homely.  Room is comfortable and nicely decorated with matching accessories.
There was another guest when we were there but we were out for most of the day.  As such, sharing the bathroom is not an issue.
We enjoyed chatting with Sommer and Daniel and appreciate their warm welcome and hospitality.   Sommer was prompt with her replies and was always more than happy to assist with information about Austin and the area.

The room and private bathroom were very pleasant and had lots of nice little touches like room freshener and spare personal care products in case I'd forgotten anything. She was glad to chat with me and answer all my questions about Austin and even had a handy restaurant/sightseeing guide ready for me. She was super-kind to my dog, too. Overall, it was a great experience and so much better than overpaying at some sterile hotel."
6276488,49383354,2015-10-03,40294647,Lisa,"Sommer and Daniel were super welcoming hosts! Sommer even had a guide prepared for us which stated where to go and what to eat in the city. The room was exactly as described and we enjoyed watching Netflix after a long day in the city very much. We also have to mention that they own the cutest little dog ever, who always kept us company while watching Netflix. 
If we'll return to Austin, we would definitely stay with them again! "
6276488,49729579,2015-10-05,19475188,Samantha,"I stayed at Sommer's house for a short weekend while I attended ACL. Sommer was very responsive to my texts and was very good at following up with me to ensure my arrival was smooth. The location is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The pics are 100% accurate and representative of Sommer's pristine home. The room was cozy, blankets warm, and toiletries abundant. Her dog is super cute as well. I was able to meet her on my last day, and she was extremely warm and welcoming even though I was about to leave. I highly recommend her place, don't let the distance from Downtown Austin fool you!"
6276488,50441089,2015-10-12,38934394,Christina,"Sommer did an awesome job making us feel at home! There were plenty of cute personal touches (including a welcome card with wi-fi password and letting us know where the mugs were for free coffee and tea, cute decorations, etc). 
This was my first time using AirBnb but will definitely be using again and would recomend Sommer for anyone visiting Austin :)"
6276488,51532179,2015-10-21,21851490,Mandy,"Sommer made us feel welcome the moment we walked in the door.  She was able to check us in a little early so we could drop our things off and go meet me family for lunch.  Her boyfriend Daniel, was equally friendly and hospitable and we couldn't have asked for better hosts!  They are a very inspiring couple, who embrace life and all it has to offer.  We made dinner a few nights during our stay, as my sister lives in town and brought over some food to warm up, and also to cook - as they allowed us to use their kitchen and even joined us for dinner one night.  Love that they are interested in travel and we also talked about going overseas which we hope they will ask for advice when they make their way across the pond!  My husband and I would highly recommend anyone staying at this location - as it's in a nice quiet neighborhood -- the bed was super comfortable and the shower was great!"
6276488,51806404,2015-10-24,34456311,Marisa,"Sommer was such a welcoming host! She gave us a tour of her house right when we got there, which made us feel right at home. Her dog, Callie, is super cute and friendly as well. The bedroom was really comfy and the bathroom was nice a big! I recommend staying 100% :)"
6276488,52152970,2015-10-26,46638791,Terrence,"So this is definitely the first time I've written a review for anything. Its also my first Airbnb experience so I was a little sketchy about it but staying at Sommers place was just like staying with a friend. I had a million questions for Sommer before I arrived and she was cool about it and answered every single one. She will accommodate you, show you around, give you advice and basically make you feel at home. The description of her home and the room is spot on.   Basically, I have nothing bad to say. Its clean, bed is comfortable, you get your privacy or you can have a new friend. "
6276488,52546695,2015-10-30,31627053,George,Host made me feel very welcome.  They were very gracious and kind hosts.
6276488,53088406,2015-11-04,47632130,Liz,Sommer and Daniel made my first trip to Austin like coming home. They were fun and the room was comfortable and relaxing. They provided information for me to easily go explore. I would definitely stay with them again.
2297314,10922411,2014-03-13,11903143,Jacob,"The house was fantastic! Right by the rail and public transit, perfect for seeing the town!"
2297314,20869075,2014-10-06,21410606,Blake,"We visited Austin for a college football game and to explore Austin. Karin's home is a short cab ride from most of the city or you can take advantage of the nearby train station to roam the city. The home was wonderful! We comfortably slept six in the house and while the third bedroom is a little small the enormous and very comfortable couch can sleep two.

Karin was sweet and very responsive throughout the trip. We had a great time and would definitely stay again.      "
2297314,21251720,2014-10-13,16674798,Thomas,"Our stay at The Yellow House was just perfect! Karin quickly responded to all my inquiries and was there to greet us upon arrival and give us a tour of her lovely home. The house was just as described in the listing and had everything we needed to make us feel at home. We didn't need to use the service, as we have friends in Austin that chauffeured us around town but the Metro Rail is just a 2 minute walk from the house and takes you right downtown for just a couple bucks. The little housing area is quiet and makes you feel secure. The surrounding neighborhood looks like it's in a gentrification process, as you see a real mesh of newer and older houses. There are plenty of great food choices within a very short drive, as well. 
Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be contacting Karin again the next time we're in Austin!"
2297314,22375541,2014-11-04,22625980,Kate,"The host was super easy to work with and responded immediately to every email even to the point that we worried we were texting too often with requests.  But Karin never seemed to mind.  Terrific hostess!
"
2297314,33009544,2015-05-24,32298683,Jeff,Karin was responsive and extremely helpful making our first airbnb experience outstanding.  The location was convenient and made our stay very easy. 
2297314,33167400,2015-05-25,33149295,Elizabeth,"Had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house was just as described, very cute and extremely clean. Karin was a wonderful host! She was very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed at all times. This house was the perfect rental for a night exploring Austin. Would stay here again.  "
2297314,39088643,2015-07-20,29659540,Hoang,"Karin was so awesome as a host! Even though she was not present at the location, she was just a txt away for whenever we needed any questions! There were snacks and drinks etc in the fridge that was made available for us to eat/drink which was so cool of her :) definitely an A1 host! My group and I loved her house as it was so near to the public transit and in a super cute location ^^"
2297314,50497506,2015-10-12,43130596,Kishan,Karin was great! The place was exactly like the description. 
6591532,33758361,2015-05-31,31047494,Sharon,"Loved my stay at Carly's. She and Ryan were both very easy going and easy to communicate with but very unobtrusive.  Made me feel very comfortable and at home. The room was lovely, had a nice closet,  and had the most comfy bed ever. I could have slept for days! The private bath is right outside the bedroom door. 
I let them know in advance that I would be out quite late and they had no problem with that. The neighborhood is charming and a short walk to art galleries, great food, and nightlife. I'd love to stay here again if Carly and Ryan would have me. Highly recommended!"
6591532,35970040,2015-06-23,24660988,Rick,The house is beautiful and location is great. Ryan and Carly are wonderful hosts and made me feel at home. I would definitely stay here again in the future. 
6591532,36489574,2015-06-28,6938791,Emily (And Stu),"We had a wonderful stay at Carly and Ryan's! Lovely house, comfortable room, clean private bath, great neighborhood, and awesome hosts. Both Carly and Ryan were warm and welcoming, with great Austin tips. And they were so sweet to our dog, who loved their place too (fenced yard!). We'll absolutely stay here again when we come back to Austin!"
6591532,43204198,2015-08-17,3934011,Kirsten,"We had a great time at Carly and Ryan's house, although we sadly didn't get to meet them as they were away. Carly was very communicative and the house was well located, beautiful and clean. We would definitely stay there next time we go to Austin."
6591532,44087559,2015-08-23,34194127,Emily,"A perfect experience! I did not get to actually meet Carly since she was out of town but more or less I had the whole place to myself.  Everything you could need is already there waiting for you.  The whole place is just adorable, and only a $6 Uber to downtown.  Totally suggest this place if you are traveling in Austin.  Oh and the bed in the guest wing like sleeping on Clouds!  Good job Carly your right on the money!"
6591532,46792267,2015-09-13,40620477,Danielle,"My experience could not have been better. I do not think I was the perfect house guest, but they could not have been any better. They let me have privacy, but also, included me in their lives. They made my short trip worth every second of it."
6591532,50096679,2015-10-09,2438476,Jordy,"Carly and Ryan were wonderful hosts. They made me feel very comfortable and at home and I really appreciated their including me in a group dinner and also showing me the neighborhood a bit including a very memorable house party. Thank you! When you think about Airbnb hosts, this is what you hope for. My only slight issue was some nights their very sweet puppy Luna (who is very cute and i loved taking for walks!!) would whimper a bit. Overall not a big deal at all. This a great place to stay."
6591532,50726096,2015-10-13,23458962,Shannon,"Carly and Ryan were wonderful hosts.  I had a little trouble with the auto-lock, but Carly made sure I was able to get in.  The room was nice and the bed was amazing.  I recommend this place if you're a dog person, which is what I am.  If not, it may not be a good fit.  They have a new puppy that is super cute, but she's a puppy and does puppy-like things, just pretty wound up."
6591532,51549797,2015-10-21,37533616,Claire,"Carly and Ryan were great hosts. They had great tips on the area and gave us a list of cool places to eat and drink, which was very helpful. They also leant us their bikes which was a really nice of them. They have an adorable puppy, which was a nice surprise as we are both dog lovers. Would definitely recommend.  "
5296325,28022303,2015-03-16,28068251,Joyce,"Angela and Greg were both great hosts and very welcoming. They gave us tips for sightseeing and eating out. Their place was comfortable and just as advertised. Also, the location was very convenient and we were able pick up the bus into the city at a stop right in front of their place. I recommend staying with them!"
5296325,28147314,2015-03-18,28884397,Jordan,Angela and Greg were great hosts. Their place was clean and comfortable. An added bonus was a cool little dog by the name of Wedgely. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
5296325,28478772,2015-03-24,22277304,Angela,"Great stay with Angela and Greg and cute little dog Wedgely. Getting
 in and out was easy and the place looks just like the photos.
Fantastic location for exploring south congress and downtown. Hope we can come back next year."
5296325,49723713,2015-10-05,45044489,Jazmin,"For my first Airbnb experience, it was absolutely wonderful. Angela and Greg were so kind and their home is so comfortable and inviting. They responded to any questions and concerns I had in a timely manner. The location of the listening was perfect because it was near everything we wanted to do. And not to mention it was about a 10 minute drive from downtown. My significant other and I had everything we needed and we also received lovely company of their pup, Wedgely. Definitely at the top of my list for another Austin weekend get away.  "
5296325,50555440,2015-10-12,40444293,Claudia,We spend a night at Angela and Greg's place and it was great! The place is beautiful and close to everything. Angela is very welcoming and helpful with advise. Although we didn't meet Greg we felt welcomed. They have an adorable little dog that took my heart. I would stay here again.
5296325,51416597,2015-10-19,46474328,Jeff,Angela and Greg were very friendly and enjoyable as hosts.  Room beds were comfortable and the apartment is updated and very clean.  Had delicious muffins for us to eat.  Location was great as it was a quick shot to get to downtown! Definitely recommend to stay again! 
8503322,50366062,2015-10-11,44967696,Mika,"Tracey was very helpful and nice! We were running late due to traffic and she was accommodating with that so that we were able to meet up with her. She gave us directions to the festival which was great, she made us feel very welcome while we were in Austin. I highly recommend this place to anyone!! "
5557403,49708585,2015-10-05,42875004,Vanessa,"Hanna and Blue were excellent hosts! The room was comfy and cozy and we had plenty of room for our suitcases and to hang our things. Hanna kept in touch with us prior to our stay and was very quick to reply to any questions that we had.  Clean and new towels and linens were provided and there were even chocolates on our bed when we arrived. A very nice touch! When we arrived, we were greeted and made to feel very welcome as guests in their home. We very much appreciated the recommendations to local coffee shops and restaurants. All around, we had a great experience and highly recommend staying with Hanna and Blue if the opportunity arises. "
5557403,50439793,2015-10-12,27268469,Nikki,"Hanna and Blue were great hosts!  They were very friendly and their home was a comfy and cozy place to spend our weekend, we really felt at home.  We came for ACL music festival and Hanna was nice enough to draw us a map of how to walk their from her house, as well as providing ear plugs for the festival.  Her food suggestions were also delicious and made our time is Austin even more enjoyable.  I would definitely recommend staying with them!  "
5768833,29695649,2015-04-11,7077268,Christian,"My business partners and I enjoyed our time during our quarterly planning sequestration. The proximity to Lake Austin and access to downtown, restaurants and our offices can't be beat. There's a great party area under the carport that we took full advantage of. The wifi was fast and the space was very clean."
5768833,31818851,2015-05-10,31609279,Michael,"Fantastic location, host was very flexible, house had everything we needed, including plenty of linens/towels, HBO on demand, etc. -- enjoyed our weekend stay."
5768833,33170559,2015-05-25,15358506,Jenna,"Location was absolutely perfect! There was a lot next door to the house for us to store our boat over night & we were right down the street from the marina. Hula Hut was maybe a 3 minute walk & there was also a grocery store within a 5 minute walk. Lyle's house had everything we needed from plenty of linens, pillow, towels, kitchen needs & SPACE! There's a huge deck in the front set up like a bar & a fire pit & BBQ pit in his big backyard to enjoy. "
5768833,36428511,2015-06-28,6876835,Todd,"Lyle's place is fantastic.  I lived in Austin for sometime and I can tell you that this place is very unique.  It's the closest place you can get to the water without being lakefront.  There are two docks close by for easy use with your own boat (or rental or party-barge) and his place is a stone's throw away from Mozart's Coffee, Abel's on the Lake and Hula Hut - all of which provide the only commercial lakefront experiences to speak of in Austin.  Lyle's place was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed and he was a very gracious, courteous and communicative host.  Can't wait to stay there again!!"
5768833,45276554,2015-09-01,1300431,Kate & Yogesh,Our stay here was great. Lyle was very responsive and did everything he could to make us feel comfortable. The location right across from Mozart's can't be beat! Recommended! 
5768833,49598052,2015-10-05,2440182,Lisa,Great location and Lyle was a fantastic host. We would come back again. Thanks again for everything Lyle. 
2626803,27999144,2015-03-16,2787164,Ryan,Great host.  Perfect stay for our team during SXSW.
5247943,26801559,2015-02-19,6786161,Noah,The house was beautiful and spacious. It took a while to heat but the rooms closest to the garage got quite warm. The pool was also great and warmed up to a comfortable temperature between lunch and dinner. The three beds were very comfortable. Make sure to specify if you need the air mattresses. Extremely convenient and flexible check-in and check out. Would definitely stay here again!
5247943,27019911,2015-02-23,27434547,Danica,"Stayed here for a night and wished my stay was longer! The house was spacious, clean and beautifully updated. Check in and check out was a breeze and the host made sure our stay was comfortable. My friends and I enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend staying here! "
5247943,28225942,2015-03-20,28879488,Fredrik,"We rented the house for a couple of days during SXSW and were very happy. House is modern and functional, particularly for larger groups. The pool was super nice and the jacuzzi as well. The house is located outside 5 miles outside downtown Austin but we had no problem getting cabs or ubers driving us. Would definitely recommend a stay!"
5247943,28414685,2015-03-23,25246384,Michelle,Perfection!
5247943,29445291,2015-04-07,3588784,Ryan,"Well after using AirBnB numerous times on many traveling occasions with great success-- I must say this is my first let down. And it was a major let down. We traveled to Austin with high expectations and found what we thought was gonna be an amazing house to stay in------ boy were we wrong. The pics of this house are very very deceiving.  This house has great potential, but is nothing what the pics shows. We traveled with 7 adults and the house was not comfortable at all. No furniture in any one room to accommodate and the single only couch in the house seemed like it came out of a dumpster. The pool was unusable completely and hadn't been cleaned in who knows how long.  The grass hadn't been cut in weeks. Fortunately after searching through numerous electrical boxes, and random wiring we found out how to turn on the hot tub.............. Overall the house has potential, but until the owner/manager wants people to feel comfortable and adds the necessities for that, I would not recommend at all!!"
5247943,30776723,2015-04-27,4787433,Jane,My team were in Austin on business and we rented the house for 7 of us and it was perfect.  Jessica was great and very quick to respond to any questions we had.  The pool was perfect for when we got back to cool off! Great kitchen for cooking our meals.  Very close to Downtown Austin but I would definitely recommend having a car. 
5247943,31318541,2015-05-04,26997750,Robert,"Our host was very responsive and able to answer any and all questions I had prior to and during our visit. The house is absolutely beautiful! Our guests kept marveling at how spacious the house is and how beautiful the view and outdoor patio area is. 

We hosted a large group and were able to accommodate everyone comfortably. The kitchen was perfect for preparing meals and entertaining guests because it was so spacious and modern. The bedrooms were each uniquely decorated and the master bedroom has a beautiful balcony with a great view, especially at sunset. 
I would definitely stay here again."
5247943,32249463,2015-05-16,30345763,Leah,The home was beautiful.  All of our needs were taken care of and would definitely stay here again.
5247943,32408037,2015-05-17,16726207,Ruth,"We had a great 1-night stay here for a family gathering. The host was quick to answer questions. 
The house has very spacious gathering areas to accommodate groups; the kitchen can easily accommodate multiple cooks/tasters. The backyard is beautiful and relaxing. We used the hot tub & some of us even braved the cold pool. The beds were comfortable for all 8 adults; the bed linens were of good quality. The ping pong table was a hit!!
Small negatives: not a lot of furniture in the sitting areas or dining areas if large groups want to sit together, but if you spread out, it's fine.
The surrounding area seems a bit sketchy but the immediate neighborhood is well kept and we had no issues. Easy car ride to Austin. "
5247943,32476356,2015-05-18,8893358,Heather,"The house was great for our group, it was open and very spacious.  Unfortunately we were only able to spend one night here but would have really liked to extend our stay.  The host was very accommodating and welcoming.  We enjoyed our time here and felt very comfortable.  We hope to stay here again for our girls weekend in Austin.  "
5247943,32860862,2015-05-22,18942876,Tammy,"We arrived very late and had a lockbox entry.  Host was very communicative during the process via text. 

The home was very accommodating for a large group. Plenty of double/full size beds and 2.75 bathrooms for everyone to have their space.  

The home was easy access to downtown, but an older neighborhood with a lot of renovating going on and a little sketchy.  It's also very close to the airport which was good for the commute but bad for the noise from flyover planes.  

The pool was deep and large but the yard was terribly overgrown and in need of updating. The hot tub was perfect temp for lounging during the early eve.

The home was a bit musty smelling upon arrival from being locked up during spring damp weather.  Lower toilet plugged and both sinks leaked in upper hall bath but the point person was very helpful at all hours to accommodate our needs. And apologetic.

Wifi a big plus since we were all business professionals in town for several meetings. Also plenty of tables and workspace inside and out. 

Host had coffee available with sugar. Creamer would have been nice but Starbucks was only a short drive away! All and all a value stay for our group.
"
5247943,33234734,2015-05-26,9894438,Haley,I booked this trip to Austin for a bachelorette party for 10 girls and we could not have been more pleased with our stay! The house was so nice and roomy we had plenty of space to relax and enjoy ourselves. Although it rained while we were there we spent time in the beautiful backyard when the sun was out. The deck and pool were both so nice with the perfect amount of shade when you want it and sunshine when it's out. Everything was fabulous about the house and our host was more than accommodating with everything we needed. Would definitely book again when coming back to beautiful Austin! 
5247943,33788996,2015-06-01,18626905,Verity,The accommodations were lovely and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and hot tub. I would most definitely recommend this place to others and would stay there again.
5247943,35072062,2015-06-15,29328466,Angie,"Jessica was great during the entire Airbnb process.  She was very accommodating and able to answer all of my questions.  The house was as described, very spacious with a lot of rooms.  I hosted my best friend's bachelorette party at the house and the pool was perfect for the Hot Austin weather.  The house has a very open floor plan so you can hear just about everything going on in all areas in the house, so just a warning if you're going with a large group. We spent our evenings downtown and it was about 10min to get to where we wanted to. Overall it was a great stay!"
5247943,36095474,2015-06-25,5623087,Tyson,"Great house! Had a wonderful time with the pool, hot tub, and big kitchen. Perfect for our group of 8. Thanks!"
5247943,36510372,2015-06-29,29175386,Michelle,The owner greeted me with a friendly email with the info I needed. The house exceeded our expectations. We would love to come back!
5247943,37345177,2015-07-06,15931524,Diandra,"We had a great weekend at the house. Perfect location! Close to the city but just far enough to be away from the traffic. We even saw fireworks from the dining room and the deck. The ping pong table was not available at the house but it was fine. Rooms are nice and cool, necessary for Texas summers! "
5247943,38151262,2015-07-13,13742309,Heather,Over all the house was wonderful. There was plenty of space for everyone and the bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. The pool was huge and was a great amenity. 
5247943,38624964,2015-07-17,1882616,Marcelo,"This house was absolutely perfect for our family! It was a vacation for half of us and a stay-cation for the other half. There were bedrooms for all of our children and their husbands and our grandchildren! The kitchen was nice. We cooked really large meals. We even grilled steaks one night! The pool was so nice and clean, the whole family enjoyed it! (it was very handy having a dryer for the towels) We had a movie night one night. This house provided everything we needed. We hope to use it again and again!"
5247943,39666797,2015-07-25,37686645,Kristene,"This house was great :) very roomy, clean and comfortable. Close to surrounding touristy things but far enough away not to be in the craziness. We loved having the pool to cool if in, after all, it is Texas :) pet friendly was a HUGE drawl for us as we wanted to bring ours! "

8312394,48463931,2015-09-26,35805715,Yuenyi,"Paul is a super awesome host- we absolutely enjoyed our stay! Before our arrival he made sure we have all the details, when we arrived he showed us around his spacious house and made us feel like we were at home. Our room was very tidy and his house is also so much cuter in person than the pictures! The location is also wonderful, it is in a nice neighborhood and so close to everything- there are many restaurants and things to do around. We stayed for a night but wish we could stayed longer!"
8312394,49696152,2015-10-05,13206440,Lisa,"My sister and I stayed at Paul's house for several nights while we were in town for ACL. The room is great- large, nice big windows, super comfy bed, and a ceiling fan that works really well which made for a good night's rest in hot and humid Austin. The house is very charming, clean, and within walking distance to public transportation. 

Paul was a great, laid back host. He made check in/out very easy and was a text away for any situation."
8312394,50112642,2015-10-09,12060176,Pedro,"Paul was great and couldn't have made my stay better. Pit I had not much time but still he took me out jogging, checking out the city and we went for dinner and a beer wit friends just around the corner in a great bar/restaurant with good beer.
Paul is an excellent guitar player and my stay was perfect.
Paul: see you next time im in Austin ;)"

The room is pretty much as described. Nice apartment in a larger apartment building. "

Susan's beautiful and spacious home fit the bill and with a stroke of luck - they were available on the days we needed the entire home. She and Marvin were detailed with everything we needed for the home. She greeted my maid of honor with kindness and the house was just gorgeous. The views are to die for and everyone felt at home. We had just one blimp when the toilets over flooded due to wrong toilet paper but Susan got the plumber the next day and the problem was solved. This was my first airbnb experience and it was a lovely one. We had a total of 9 guests and the style of the home suited everyone - each person had plenty of room and privacy and we couldn't have asked for a better home to stay in while we celebrated with our loved ones and family. 
4050943,24945251,2015-01-04,10751333,Betina,"Highly recommended! The house was really beautiful and perfect for our group of 6. We love to cook and the kitchen has everything you need to cook as if you were at home, you just need to let Susan know if you plan to cook so you have enough space in the fridge for groceries. It was winter and the fireplaces made our stay very cozy and enjoyable. There are a lot of games available, and books, enough to keep the family entertained. The rooms and bathrooms are very comfortable and for us it was so much better than a hotel. We loved our stay there and had a great time!"
4050943,26252833,2015-02-08,25711821,Dawn,We felt so welcome and well prepared for during our visit.  The home was exactly as described and pictured.  So beautiful and homey.  Perfect for our girls retreat weekend.  There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room.  LOVED the living room and appreciated the extra touch of having firewood and a starter log.  LOVED the big round table that fit us perfectly.  Thank you Susan for going above and beyond for us!  It was a weekend we will not forget :o)
4050943,28123363,2015-03-18,22376867,Elise,This location was perfect for our trip to SXSW. The house was stunning and exactly what we wanted! The host was very clear on directions and house rules. I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone traveling to this specific area. 
4050943,30666647,2015-04-26,6168520,Erin,"There was a book about all the things to do in Austin and the area in the kitchen which was great.  The house was clean and very welcoming.  Susan even asked whether we wanted the fridge cleaned out for cooking, which was great! "
4050943,31874573,2015-05-11,665002,Joanna,We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful house. It was very cozy and we couldn't get over the gorgeous views and all of the surrounding nature. It was a peaceful home with wonderful amenities and we were sad to leave! We will definitely be staying here again.
4050943,32456542,2015-05-18,27434024,Lisa,Beautiful home and great host. The whole family enjoyed our stay!
4050943,33062848,2015-05-25,22213256,Mimi,"Beautiful neighborhood! The house was just as
Described.
Owner left directions for everything which was very helpful. We all loved the home and wish we could have stayed longer! We had two kids with us and the home was very kid friendly "
4050943,33501696,2015-05-29,29321713,Emma,"We had a wonderful time at Susan's house!! It was very comfortable and impeccably decorated, and the view from the deck(s) is amazing. Susan was very thorough in her communication leading up to our stay. Definitely recommend -- I already want to go back! "
4050943,34287306,2015-06-07,29310873,Leigh,"This house was amazing!  We went for a girls weekend and had a wonderful experience.  Susan was very welcoming, had everything we needed, and always prompt in replying if we had questions.  Some of the best times on our trip were spent hanging out around the big kitchen table or enjoying the wonderful views from the balcony.  Could not have been more happy with this house!  "
4050943,34942099,2015-06-14,2472646,Katie,"This is an excellent place to stay! I, along with 7 girlfriends, stayed here for a weekend while we shopped and explored Austin. We enjoyed drinking coffee in the mornings on the deck overlooking their quiet neighborhood. There are excellent instructions on how to care for the home and wonderful amenities in the house (loved the soft bath towels!). The next time I have an Austin-getaway, I hope to return to this lovely abode. "
4050943,35778613,2015-06-22,29805322,Georgia,"We never did make face-to-face contact with our host, but the instructions left for us were thorough.  Inside, the decor is gorgeous, the space is more than adequate, and the kitchen is marvelous.  The views, especially from the 3rd floor, are tremendous.  The location was central to all of the activities that brought us to Austin, and highway access is easy to navigate, although Austin traffic is ... Austin traffic.  This was the first time we had rented a house for an extended visit and this experience will cause us to explore similar arrangements in our future travels.  We highly recommend this house and host."
4050943,36368334,2015-06-28,29190219,Emily,We had an amazing girls weekend at this listing. The house included everything we could have needed and the views did not disappoint! Great location in Austin! We will definitely rent again if we find ourselves needing another girls weekend! 
4050943,37218359,2015-07-05,36128564,Dang,"This is an excellent place to stay if you are going to be visiting the Austin area. Susan (the owner) allowed us to stay at her beautiful 3 story home that had amazing views of the hills from the balcony. The house is very modern, clean and spacious. She answered any questions I had promptly and was a great host. Would stay here again!"
4050943,38107304,2015-07-13,30654531,Jennifer,We absolutely loved our stay here and Susan was a gracious host. The house is beautifully decorated and offers every amenity we could have wanted. The kitchen was fully stocked - great for meals at home. The house had several different balconies with fabulous views of Austin's rolling hills. Only a short distance to downtown. We enjoyed the quiet neighbor and the amount of space in the house. Perfect for a girl's weekend. Thank you Susan!
4050943,40881585,2015-08-03,24013087,Lily,"Everything about this rental was easy and convenient. The house is gorgeous and spacious and clean, and the rooms are big and accommodating. The host was helpful but not intrusive, and I would highly recommend this home for future visitors."
4050943,47804481,2015-09-21,30415309,Gregory,"From the start, I fell in love with the listing and was really excited when Susan accepted my request for last weekend's stay.  Not only was the listing accurate but it exceeded my expectations.  Lovely house, great neighborhood and I appreciated Susan's attentiveness."
4050943,48542183,2015-09-27,32032193,Sara Beth,"The home was exactly as pictured and described. Sitting beautifully overlooking the hills of Austin. We enjoyed the lovely decor, space, and many balconies."
4050943,49421416,2015-10-04,2848962,Megan,We had a wonderful experience at Susan's amazing home!  it was very large and it had everything you could think of!  The kitchen was huge and great for cooking for a group.  the big circular dining table was fantastic.  the views were lovely and it was close to town yet had a very peaceful feeling. I am so happy to have found this gem and hope to come back!  thank you for everything!
7839215,49787950,2015-10-06,3402448,Madison,"Perfect location for ACL festival! Jules and the family were so helpful and friendly and respected our privacy. 
The casita had everything we needed, very comfortable. There is a huge shopping village (supermarket, coffee etc) only a 10min walk away. 
ACL was about a half hour walk, the roads are mostly closed around the festival anyway.  It's a lovely walk - we saw heaps of deer!! "
7839215,50634984,2015-10-13,41726057,Jonathan,"Great location but very disappointed we didn't have a key to lock the door, bathroom was never cleaned, couldn't work the TV.  But the biggest was the fact the alarm in the main house went off most of the day and the police showed up asking us to get out of the house with our hands up.  We ended up getting out of the house because of the sound of the alarm.  Was unable to reach the owners to get these things resolved. "
7839215,51194409,2015-10-18,45599421,Meg,"Such a lovely little cabana!  Jules greeted me shortly after I arrived and showed me how to operate the apple tv.  Such a clean, quaint spot with large picture windows overlooking the large private backyard.  Also and a nice added touch was the bottle of wine made with organic grapes!"
7839215,52091571,2015-10-26,20361605,Veronica,"All! Jules is very kind and friendly. Her ""casita"" is amazing! Very clean, tidy and comfortable. 
The location is very good, just 10 min to 6th. 
Thanks Jules!!"
776649,3779709,2013-03-14,4618911,Kerry,"“The house was great. It was large enough to comfortable accommodate our group of 7, and there was plenty of space for additional people if needed. John provided clean towels and sheets, and welcomed us with snacks and information about local attractions. It was close to downtown, which made it easy for us to go to our SXSW activities. The key pick-up was simple, and we were able to leave the keys with no hassle. There is also a large backyard and deck, but we didn’t get a chance to utilize those areas. The entire place was clean and well-kept, and our whole group was impressed with our accommodations.”"

1185344,10901317,2014-03-12,10659437,Molly,Jason and Sarah were phenomenal hosts. We had no problems before or during our trip. Those house was lovely and accommodated all four of us very comfortably. They were really flexible with check-in and check-out times which was really helpful and relieved a lot of stress. I would definitely stay here again!
1185344,37472653,2015-07-07,28407199,Kristina,"Staying in Jason and Sarah's beautiful home really set the tone for our entire vacation. The house itself was so comfortable and as hosts they were welcoming and warm and available when we needed them.  We would highly recommend staying with them, and we hope to stay here again sometime. "
3013429,14328541,2014-06-16,12053592,Cody,"Vineet is a great host that clearly cares about his guests. There was Topo Chico in the fridge, cereal in the kitchen and the house was very clean. We loved the house, it was perfect for a weekend with a bunch of friends."
3013429,14536865,2014-06-21,528432,Michael,Vineet was very easy to work with and accommodating. Really nice guy and was very helpful during our stay. The neighborhood is great. 
3013429,15076851,2014-07-01,3382193,Ayn & Sebastian,Vineet was a very gracious and communicative host.  The house is a simple with minimal furnishing.  I feel like the $149 per night I paid is a good price for the space.  It is clean and conveniently located.
3013429,15190856,2014-07-04,12991150,Lindsey,"Everything about our stay at the house was lovely!  It was the perfect space for our larger family to spread out and enjoy our visit to Austin.  Instead of being crammed into an over-priced hotel room and having to be ""creative"" with sleeping arrangements, everyone could have their own space and we were so comfortable!  The clean minimalist decor was perfect, and Vineet's thoughtful labeling throughout the house was really useful and appreciated.  We walked to dinner and loved checking out the neighborhood.  The window a/c units plus ceiling fans were more than adequate overnight.  The amenities were generous--w/d, all kitchen appliances, all-natural soaps in the bathroom/kitchen, quality linens and towels, etc.  No complaints about this house or neighborhood.  I think the house was one of the kids' favorite aspects of our trip (mine too!).  We'd do it again! Thanks Vineet!"
3013429,15288700,2014-07-06,17346313,Chris,Location and house are great. Have stayed here twice and will definitely do again.
3013429,15781992,2014-07-15,9371307,Lindsay,"This spot was exactly what we were looking for! Spacious, quiet, comfortable and close to just about everything. Vineet was a great host and was in constant communication with us during our stay. Will highly recommend!"
3013429,16124783,2014-07-22,17350373,Dustin,"The neighborhood was fine, it was off Elizabeth that directly connects to South Congress.  Either way you walked down Elizabeth you will find some great things to do.  

Vineet was great.  He had the house cleaned immaculately with some refreshing drinks waiting for us in the fridge! The house was semi-stocked and each bedroom had a window-unit so the house got really cool -- even in the harsh Texas summer.  The laundry room was fully loaded and stocked as well.  The home was equipped with WiFi and the TV had some basic cable.

The location of the home was hard to beat.  Like I said earlier in the review, there were plenty of walking options.  Rainy St. was an 8 dollar Uber ride away.  The price was great in comparison to what I would have had to pay for a hotel.  Next time I'm in Austin I'm going to try and stay here again."
3013429,16572348,2014-07-29,17370119,Héctor,"We had a great time in Austin at Vineet's Bungalow. The place was as advertised, I'd say even above our expectations.

The best aspect of Vineet's place is the fantastic location. The South Congress area is great with lot's of great places to eat and a very nice vibe.

Vineet was always helpful with the very few details where we needed his help. Would stay again here for sure and planning to go back next year.

"
3013429,16920301,2014-08-04,1725725,Mark,Really nice house that suited our needs perfectly. The space is clean and comfortable and we had enough space to spread out. It is in easy walking distance of a lot of really cool places yet was plenty quiet at night. We didn't get to meet Vineet but he was a very responsive host staying in touch to make sure we got to the house with no problems and had a good stay. We enjoyed several good games of dominos with the set in the house. Will look to stay here next time we are in Austin. 
3013429,17383813,2014-08-11,18604904,Kendsie,"Vineet was so nice, prompt and helpful in answering all of my questions and caring for our large group! The house on Elizabeth st was perfect for our group of 10. The outdoor area was great and that area of town can't be beat. Our experience was so great that we are already planning another group trip. Thanks, Vineet! "
3013429,17862624,2014-08-18,3239045,Michael,"Vineet was a great host. He had everything in the house ready, including having turned on the A/C for us a couple hours before we arrived (which was VERY much appreciated as it was over 100 degrees out). Everything was clean, there was even some mineral water in the refrigerator.

The house's location is fantastic. Just a block away from the Torchy's food truck on South 1st and near everything on S Congress.

The nerd in me also wants to make sure to mention that the wireless was working great throughout the house as well."
3013429,18330494,2014-08-25,7112885,Jennie,"We had a very nice stay at this bungalow, it was clean and well stocked.  Vineet made us feel very welcome and stocked the fridge with cold topo chico. The location was perfect and an easy walk to shops and restaurants on S. First and Congress. This was a great place for our two children 3.5 and 10 mos. There was laundry which was great to have, especially in the Austin summer. Window units kept all of the bedrooms cool and comfortable. We would recommend this place to our friends. "
3013429,18772231,2014-08-31,19673400,Jacques,Great space - perfectly located - very helpful host. Highly recommended. Couldn't chose a better place for visiting Austin. 
3013429,18940554,2014-09-03,11965723,Vanessa,"Several friends and I recently stayed at Vineet's apartment for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location was great... A few blocks away from SoCo and a little over a mile from the main city, while still quiet and safe for a good night's rest.

The apartment is fantastic with all the necessities you'll need and very clean! Vineet was easy to get in touch with and extremely accommodating to our needs. We would most definitely stay with him again when in town! Highly recommended!"
3013429,19203199,2014-09-08,16990569,Jaime,"Vineet couldn't have been a better host. The house was perfect for our getaway weekend. He was in touch with me before, during and after the weekend. Everything about the house was incredible, but what Vineet didn't tell us was how close we were to some of the most amazing food trucks ever! 

I can't wait to go back to Austin and say at Aqua Quartz again! "
3013429,19498500,2014-09-13,21047402,David,"Vineet was easy to reach and great to deal with. The house was nice, spacious and easy walking distance to South Congress. We had a great stay overall. "
3013429,19680875,2014-09-16,19358966,Justin,"Vineet was great at making us feel welcome. He was always quick to respond, from the time we put in a request for the place, until the time we checked out. 

The actual house is perfect for a group of friends or family who are looking to trek around one of the cooler parts of Austin. We were less than a mile walk from amazing restaurants, live music and parks. And if you want to just chill at the house, it's great for that too. The living room was big enough to hold seven of us, and the kitchen was spacious too. 

We'll definitely be looking to book this place again when we come back to Austin. "
3013429,19885929,2014-09-20,20310837,Indhika,Vineet is an excellent host - his house is terrific and centrally located. It was super easy coordinating with him. Great listing! 
3013429,20004462,2014-09-22,3118346,Zag & Alice,Outstanding location and very clean. Vineet was very easy to work with and pleasantly flexible. Would highly recommend.
3013429,20430116,2014-09-29,20293913,Tony,A wonderful stay at Vineet's ideally located home. Very close to great food and fun and easily accommodates 5 guys. Vineet was a conscientious host and the home had all the things required to be comfortable. The cold mineral water in the fridge was a nice touch. I highly recommend this place for your next adventure to Austin.
3013429,20931903,2014-10-07,18210718,Brandon,Great location in Austin!  A few minutes walk to S. Congress and S. 1st.  Vineet was a great host.  He had everything that we needed for trip.  We will stay here again in the future.  Thanks Vineet!
3013429,21208918,2014-10-13,20523784,Catherine,Vineet was so wonderful! The house was so cozy and and cute. There were fresh towels out and we all had such a great time! Could not have gotten a better location. Our friends visiting loved Austin and it was so easy to show them around being right off of congress. Such a cute home and wonderful trip!!! 
3013429,21741787,2014-10-23,20360357,John,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Vineet's bungalow. He was a great host: He set the a/c before my party and I arrived and stocked the fridge with chilled mineral water. In fact, it was all the little details like these that made the stay so nice. There were fresh towels on each bed as well as extras clearly laid out so that we could find them. The beds also were so soft and inviting, a really comfortable place to relax after running around South Congress all day. The house also has ample off-street parking which is a great commodity based on its proximity to so much shopping, dining, and stuff to do. For the price, in this location, with these amenities, Vineet's bungalow is a spectacular place to call your vacation home."
3013429,22016155,2014-10-28,8858640,Joe,"Vineet's Heart of SoCo home is great. The location between SoCo and SoFi was perfect for us. There are aspects of the home that are bare (little art on the walls, could use another sofa or love seat), but it was clean and fantastic for the price. Vineet was extremely responsive and welcoming even though we didn't actually meet. It is obvious that he takes his Airbnb hosting seriously and cares about his visitors. If you are looking to experience the best location of Austin, this is it."
3013429,22456224,2014-11-07,8181528,Sarah,"Wonderful experience! Vineet was really responsive, communicative, kind and welcoming. The house could NOT be in a better location. Charming, mid-century modern, comfortable. Made our trip a breeze! Thank you Vineet!"
3013429,22641952,2014-11-11,2187438,Chris,"Vineet was great! He made sure everything was prepared in advance, he was very flexible with our schedules and the place was perfect! We couldn't have hoped for a better experience. The house looks just like it does in the pictures and the location is great!"
3013429,22887485,2014-11-17,2251244,Kevin,"Vineet was a great, responsive host. The house itself is quite nice - especially for larger groups. The location is hard to beat... short ride into the center of the city and all the bars on 6th street. We went during a polar vortex and Vineet was very accommodating in providing space heaters for each room and extra wool blankets."
3013429,23156870,2014-11-24,958094,Brianna,"What a great experience. Location was about the best I could have hoped for, I barely needed a car the entire time as there was so much of SoCo to enjoy a short walk away. Vineet is definitely a thoughtful and experienced host, as everything was at our fingertips, including ample clean towels waiting on all the beds. Stay here!"
3013429,23430793,2014-12-01,17174582,Nicolette,"4 adults, a 3.5 year old and an 18 month stayed in Vineet's impeccably clean, perfectly situated, large bungalow for 5 glorious days over Thanksgiving. Vineet was attentive to all questions and even provided us with the perfect inflatable baby bed and delivered a knife block for our thanksgiving feast. He is really is a Superhost. 
There is a large outdoor wooden picnic table in the back yard, perfect for sundowners and picnics.  The duvets  are pure down, the linen and towels fresh and clean. The beds are comfortable. Vineet left a dozen La Croix sparkling waters in the fridge which was refreshing.   
We arrived on a cold evening, and even though there is no central air in this house, the house was warm and cozy as the plug in heaters had been turned on.  We felt welcome. The round table in the kitchen only seats 4 people but the living room is spacious and uncluttered. The house is exactly as the photos present, and literally 2 minutes walk from 2 excellent and fun restaurants, Elizabeth  Street cafe, and Sway and 3 minutes walk  from ""the 7th Flag coffee shop"", which serves a really good cappucino. 
All the way up and down 1st street, all walking distance, we found  many food trucks, restaurants, bars and cool shops.  This location is perfect for any family or group of friends that want to get to know the heart of Austin and it is safe to walk around at all hours.  Walking the other way up Elizabeth St,  towards Congress Street, there is even more fun to be had. The place is alive!  Even though the house is flanked by active Austin, there is no noise at all in the immediate neighborhood and the house is quiet. 
The kitchen has a great gas oven and stove-top and a large, clean fridge. 
Ladies, bring your own hairdryer and conditioner. The house is stocked with fragrant, all natural, organic soaps and detergents.  The washer and dryer are located at the back of the house so again, convenient if the children are sleeping. and stocked with detergents too. This is such a great location, we will most certainly return to Vineet's property."
3013429,24598991,2014-12-31,22800229,Carlos,Great location and very comfortable house. Vineet is great in making sure everything is good. 
3013429,25237146,2015-01-10,1160531,Drew,Vaneet was accommodating and the apt was exactly as described.
3013429,25312845,2015-01-12,8728296,Rohan,"Great location and seamless check-in/out.  Thanks Vineet, we'll be back!"
3013429,44260316,2015-08-24,32156354,Danielle,"Vineet was great! I had my bachelorette party in Austin and originally booked a different house for me and 12 other girls. That house was not anything we expected. Vineet responded very quickly (within 5 minutes!) to my desperate message for a new place to stay and was extremely accommodating!!! His place was so clean, the beds were soft, and it's walking distance to downtown! Although there isn't central air, there are plenty of window units and large fans to help keep the house cold. We didn't have any trouble with it at all! Hands down, best place we could've chosen! All 13 of us had a blast being able to stay together and really enjoyed ourselves this weekend! Thank you again, Vineet!!"
3013429,46941971,2015-09-14,16086878,Prashanth,"Vineet was an incredible host and his place was perfect for our group of 15 visiting Austin from NYC. Vineet was extremely helpful pre-arrival and provided lots of great recommendations. The actual house is extremely spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. It is perfect for big groups and we really enjoyed being there over the weekend. Almost all Austin hotspots are a short walk or $5 Uber / Lyft ride away. The beds and linens were also super comfortable and we had absolutely no issues. Vineet was responsive, kind and helpful throughout our visit and accommodated a late checkout as well. His place will definitely be the first house on my list the next time I return to Austin with a big group!!"
3013429,48030638,2015-09-22,43684451,Maxwell,Vineet was and excellent host. He was prompt to respond to all of our questions and concerns and he made sure we had a comfortable stay.
3013429,48744520,2015-09-28,18915105,Reba,Vineet was wonderful and very responsive to my large group's needs. When we arrived our towels were out on our beds and there were beers in the fridge! The house was perfect for our group and the location was so close to South Congress we regretted not having extra down time just to peruse the neighborhood. Close to everything from shopping to great tacos. Would definitely recommend!
3013429,50639852,2015-10-13,39961305,Lindsay,"I stayed in Vineet's home with friends for ACL and we all fit very comfortably.  Vineet was a great host that answered all questions promptly and friendly.  The home was clean and had everything we needed.  The yard was huge and we definitely took advantage of it with all the nice weather we had!  We loved the location as it was so close to S Congress and other shops, food truck parks and other activities.  Thank you Vineet!"
3013429,52057494,2015-10-26,41417108,Alok,"This is a fantastic rental!  Having three bathrooms for a large crowd is much more useful than just two.  Also for our group of 14, all but 2 had beds ( real kind with bedframe and mattress not inflatable beds).  The two in our group that did not have a bed, used the provided daybed and comfy couch.  Vineet was a fantastic host for our duration.  There was plenty of space and privacy with the 6 bedrooms, so nobody felt packed in like sardines.  The home is a 2 minute walk to great eating spots and the soho part of austin.  Also, downtown austin is less than a 10 minute drive/taxi.  Vineet was very responsive and kindly provided us with some umbrellas for the thunderstorm weekend we arrived.  I highly recommend renting this location for a large group."
2384420,10909652,2014-03-12,12531703,Michael,"This was my first time in Austin and I'm glad I spent my downtime in this awesome apartment. After a short 20 minute ride from the AUS airport, we pulled up to a beautiful building, met the friendly owners for the keys, and easily accessed the apartment without an escort. The space is amazing. The living room's large windows offer a ton of natural light and stellar views of the lake and the Austin skyline. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious, the kitchen is very clean and could easily accommodate cooking a meal with friends, and the breakfast bar/common areas are great for dining and conversation. The building has lots of great amenities including a pool and gym.  It’s quiet and we felt very safe and secure the entire time. 
 
The apartment is also conveniently located down the street from lots of great Austin bars and restaurants. We walked less than 3 blocks before finding dinner in a nice trendy spot that offered a lot of options--from food trucks to cafes to more formal dining.

All around I would say that this was an ideal Air BnB experience. No complaints. Highly recommended!"
69810,191214,2011-03-02,350970,Jennifer,"We could not have been happier with our stay.  
Dolina and Yohan made us so very comfortable, they are fantastic hosts.  We recently moved from Boston to Austin and needed short term furnished accommodations while we sorted out more permanent living.  The Casita has everything you could want ....a very comfortable bed, fully functioning kitchen with a microwave/convection oven, a stylish and cosy seating area packed with books and games, great outdoor space and the location is fabulous.  Its central-south location is convenient to everything but also just far enough removed to grant a peaceful serene get-away.  Its a private little get away in the heart of it all.  Never a problem with the wi-fi connection and did we mention great outdoor space to sit and relax.  We could not have asked for a better introduction to Austin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  
Dolina and Yohan are the most gracious and lovely hosts, we have already recommended the ""Birdhouse"" to friends both here in Austin and back in Boston.  
Thanks so very much to you all and Lucy too."
69810,193714,2011-03-07,382521,Kristin,"I really enjoyed my stay at the cosy casita.  Aside from being a unique retreat, in a great part of Austin, I also thought the hosts were warm, thoughtful, and accommodating. Dolina and Yohan provided a vegetarian breakfast and vegan treats which absolutely made me feel at home!"
69810,195425,2011-03-09,391160,Pearl,"Dolina was a fabulous host! She made us feel welcomed--even pampered--during our stay. With its comfy bed and even a reading loft, ""cozy"" is the perfect description for the casita. It's a beautiful and thoughtfully-designed space.

The location and the price can't be beat as well.  

Thanks, Dolina!"
69810,196776,2011-03-11,415108,Nadia,"Dolina's cozy casita is an absolute marvel! Outfitted with unique local art and a bookshelf brimming with interesting reads, the light filled Birdhouse is absolutely perfect and not to mention, conveniently located near SoCo

Most importantly, Dolina was a wonderful host! From providing helpful information about how best to arrive from the airport, to drawing us a handmade map on our first evening in town, Dolina made us feel welcome from the moment our reservation was booked. She even lent a helping hand when our second airbnb reservation backfired! 

I only wish we could've stayed at the Birdhouse longer. It's a popular place to stay for good reason! If you have the opportunity to stay in the Birdhouse,  you'd fall in love with it too! "
69810,200378,2011-03-16,344723,Jeff,"Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay while I was in Austin. The place itself was not only beautiful, but very functional and well-stocked with all the necessities. Bed was comfortable, shower was great, lots of windows and light, and nice outdoor sitting area. The location is convenient and just a short bus ride to downtown. Dolina was a great host and even left us a few treats for breakfast. The whole process was very smooth and if I'm ever back in Austin, I'll definitely be staying here again. It's places like these that make me wonder why anyone would stay in a hotel :)"
69810,204486,2011-03-21,352300,Vincent,"Really enjoyed having my own private ""home"" after a hectic day downtown. The birdhouse is really a top location for those willing to stay a little bit outside of city centre. "
69810,216741,2011-04-04,94081,Lauren & Todd,"The perfect stay, everything we needed with style to spare. The location in the St. Edwards neighborhood is near enough to SoCo's action, but at enough of a distance that you can relax."
69810,221462,2011-04-09,459753,Mars,"My boyfriend and I were checking out Austin to inquire about a possible relocation.  The birdhouse was the perfect place to stay! Great location, Dolina and her family were more than accomadating and our experience in Austin couldn't have been any better.  What a lovely get-away. Im so happy I stumbled upon this website."
69810,223157,2011-04-11,454557,Geoff,"I have mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, I want to share it with everyone and yet no one, for purely selfish reasons of course. However, on behalf of my gracious hosts I will air on the side of the prior. It's a wonderful and peaceful place to stay. You won't find any better combination of privacy and hospitality. Thank you! "
69810,228063,2011-04-16,439893,Liz,"The birdhouse made for a phenomenal stay in Austin this spring.  We highly recommend this space for a stay close to downtown and public transportation.  The beautiful decor and design was a beautiful addition to the trip, and the space was just right for two.  Dolina kindly left coffee and breakfast for us, which was much appreciated.  We look forward to coming back soon!"
69810,233480,2011-04-20,496699,Virginia,"Amazing! I highly recommend staying at Dolina's Casita. 
I will never stay at a hotel again. 
This is truly the way to go when staying in Austin.
Charming, great yard & trees, private, central to just about everything, and Dolina & her husband were the best hosts you could ever imagine.
"
69810,236055,2011-04-23,352010,Madeline,"We had such an amazing time staying at the Birdhouse! The cottage was comfy and there was so much beautiful light. We also made good use of the patios during our stay. Dolina and Yohan were wonderful hosts, we hope to stay at the Birdhouse again!"
69810,247852,2011-05-02,440846,Laura,"wow what a great place! if going to austin and want to be able to be in the thick of it and also relax then this place is for you. wonderfully comfortable bed and little nook upstairs. great bathroom and shower. like staying in a hotel but your own place. dolina and her family were excellent hosts. i had very helpful lists and addresses of things to do (i had mentioned i wanted to hire a bike and there ere several bike hire places on the list) and freshly ground coffee, organic chocolate and other goodies awaited my arrival. with a bus stop just round the corner and the bike i had hired i was downtown in no time and when i wanted to relax i had everything i needed in this amazing accommodation. highly recommend. "
69810,252468,2011-05-05,74123,Teresa,"I was just getting over kidney stones and needed a break from the real world and a hair show to attend.  This place is AMAZING!!  Very Clean, very BEAUTIFUL, very SERENE!! I will definitely be back! It is also Perfectly located from downtown.  Thank you again!!"
69810,265194,2011-05-16,436465,Ali,"The Birdhouse is a clean, calm, quiet and beautiful space. "
69810,269830,2011-05-18,558661,Catherine,"The photographer and his assistant for my wedding were guests at this residence, and they said it was even better than the photos. They enjoyed their stay and are now hooked on airbnb. Many thanks to dolina for being such a gracious host!"
69810,278348,2011-05-24,450306,Gabriel,"Dolina and her family were most accommodating. The ""birdhouse"" casita was perfect for our needs. Beautiful backyard, great privacy and total mutual respect for space. The location was great, away from the noise and crowds but close enough to get to S. Congress in a few minutes. When my wife return to Austin we will certainly book with Dolina again. She made us feel super welcome right away. Anyone would be silly not to go this route and go to a fancy sterile and expensive hotel. Highyl highly highly recommend Dolina's birdhouse!"
69810,284466,2011-05-28,279717,Angelo,"You'll be comfortable, don't worry about it, just book if it's available.  Dolina is awesome, I wish I would have had time to hang out with her."
69810,292476,2011-06-01,342386,Matt,"Dolina and her family were ideal hosts.  Their rental property was exceptionally clean and inviting.  The Birdhouse is truly one of Austin's more creative architectural gems.  Dolina went above and beyond by including a plethora of extras upon our arrival (i.e. breakfast drinks and foods and chocolate).  After staying at this property for 4 wonderful nights, I can see why it is booked solid throughout the summer.  Best yet in ATX!"
69810,549251,2011-09-20,388612,Andrew,Dolina and her husband Yohan could not have been nicer.  I would recommend the birdhouse to anyone visiting Austin. It was such a pleasure!!
69810,574460,2011-09-27,427981,Preston,"Five stars is not enough to rate how great our stay was here.  

Dolina has created the perfect place to escape the hectic pace of daily life, and just relax. She was the perfect hostess to introduce us to the concept of Airbnb.  Thoughtful, and courteous, and never short on everything you need for a good cup of tea!

Copious amounts of natural light fill the soft and inviting space here.  The interior design is immaculate, and it seems that everywhere provided to sit or lay here is comfortable.  I highly recommend spending a good amount of time in the upstairs loft with a good book.

Clean, quiet, and perfectly located right near the shops on South Congress.

We will, without doubt, try and stay here again."
69810,587326,2011-10-01,910338,Cassidy,"It was truly love at first sight when I entered the Birdhouse!  Great accommodations that are a great blend of comfort, smart design, and global style.  I highly recommend it and have already booked my return stay! :)"
69810,596553,2011-10-04,890573,Becky,"What a perfect retreat for a girlfriend getaway! The Cozy Casita was clean, comfortable, and tres chic! It had everything we needed: coffee and tea (real milk and sugar-no creamer!), everything we needed to make a quick breakfast and snacks. There is lovely art on the walls. It is a really comfortable guest house.

Dolina was a great hostess. She was very helpful with recommendations about what to do and where to go. This is a great place to stay and I would stay here again!"
69810,638085,2011-10-17,709138,Cian,A brilliant experience. Dolina gave us great instructions on how to get there and when we arrived it was just as we expected and more. The house was perfect and stylishly decorated and we were provided fresh local produce for us to enjoy. Dolina spent time with us giving us local tips and ideas for days out (which we did and were great). Location is close to South Congress and also gives you easy access out of town in a car for day trips. Perfect Airbnb holiday.
69810,660901,2011-10-24,1304263,Staci,The Bird House is Fabulous! It is so comfortable and cozy my daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Dolina the host was exceptional nice and helpful. Will stay again!
69810,670037,2011-10-27,979685,Vanessa,"A quick Austin trip for business was made into a mini-vacation by the twist of fate that led me to book the casita for 2 nights. Dolina was very accommodating, accepting my reservation request literally at the last minute. (It was complete luck that was even possible, since the casita was booked all week except for the 2 nights I needed. This place is popular - book early!) Thoughtful design touches and smart use-of-space is everywhere - and have me looking over my own house now with thoughts of remodeling. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, and the neighborhood is quiet; I slept soundly. The coffee left for the french press was excellent, and the kitchen had everything I needed to prep a happy-hour spread of wine/cheese/etc. for 2 coworkers one evening. I plan to return whenever I am in Austin. Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
69810,679001,2011-11-01,280585,Katrin-Anne,"Dolina, her husband, her child and the dog are perfect hosts, the casita is just lovely and beautiful (I could have stayed forever) and nicely located. A perfect stay, perfect hosts, we will definitely come back!"
69810,693740,2011-11-05,132167,Alexandra,"Staying at Dolina's casita is like being in an enchanted forest, it's a beautiful nook with high ceilings  surrounded by trees. Inside is very comfortable, and I loved every second that I inhabited it's walls! This is a great place to stay in Austin; convenient, comfortable and welcoming. Dolina and her family were kind and considerate, I would recommend this place four times over. "
69810,731160,2011-11-20,1225452,Beth,"My stay at the Cozy Casita was fine. The hosts very friendly and the space  is lovely. Unfortunately I didn't spend much time there as I was at a conference but if I were to return to Austin for pure fun, I would definitely book the same place. Given its distance from downtown, having a car might be handy although the bus is close by and cheap.   "
69810,741866,2011-11-24,1378532,Dionne,"The Cozy Casita is perfect for a solitary retreat, a couple's getaway, or as a peaceful home base for a small family's adventures in Austin. Great, convenient location in South Austin. Easy to get to all the great places Austin has to offer! Dolina and family are very gracious, thoughtful, and accommodating hosts. We look forward to visiting The Birdhouse again next year! "
69810,753017,2011-11-29,149028,Adrienne,Great place with lot's of unique touches. Super cozy! 
69810,774198,2011-12-10,910338,Cassidy,"My second stay (this time for ten days!) at this amazing shangri la in Austin this time made all the more memorable by an afternoon tea and cookies with Dolina, Yohan and Singh!  Looking forward to my next trip though. "
69810,780975,2011-12-12,1427691,Jess,"A quiet and peaceful retreat with sleek modern design, the birdhouse was the perfect intro to Austin.  Dolina and her husband were great hosts too - she saved me a gnarly hour-long drive through rush hour traffic by recommending something better and closer by. I highly recommend a stay  at the cosy casita!"
69810,786971,2011-12-15,656874,Hans,Very nice little house that is beautifully maintained and stocked with a marvelous library of interesting books. 
69810,808412,2011-12-27,895854,Carlos,This place was perfect for what we needed. Dolina has done an amazing job with the design and layout of the space. Very cozy and comfortable. Thanks again for your hospitality!
69810,842451,2012-01-06,762307,Andrew,Dolina was extremely accommodating and her place was perfect for our stay in Austin. I would definitely recommend staying here and will hopefully stay again soon.
69810,854396,2012-01-10,1399846,Naomi,"We loved the casita -- it was beautifully designed, functioned perfectly for the two of us and had the added benefit of outdoor spaces for entertaining. The Faulks were lovely and helpful. Altogether, it was a splendid experience!"
69810,866545,2012-01-16,1569243,Rany,"Summary: beautiful, close to SoCo/6th st/Downtown and UT, very safe and private, full amenities, brilliant host.

The photos of the casita are beautiful, but actually being in the space and staying there was divine. As I explored the place and all it's charms and thoughtfulness laid out by our host Dolina, I was more excited to stay here in the Casita than to explore the city the evening I arrived. Hunger eventually drove me out and I was within a short 5 minute or less drive to Downtown/6th street, Zilker Park, a mile from the heart of SoCo. UT was about a 10-15 minute drive. I could not image a better location, close enough to everything I wanted to visit, but not waking up to people trampling across the sidewalks of the casita like some places. I would definitely recommend the Casita to friends and family. I even started to feel guilty for not bring an extra friend to share the experience with us. 

Extras: comfy bed, fluffy pillows, thoughtful treats of chocolate, tangerines, coffee, cream, and tea. Also a glorious collection of books to read and plenty of space to sprawl out and enjoy them. After confirming with Dolina, I was able to have a very flexible check out time."
69810,877024,2012-01-22,1502867,Katherine,"Dolina was a wonderful hostess and I absolutely loved the property.   It definitely exceeded my expectations.  This was my first stay with AirBNB and Dolina has set the bar very high.  The property was immaculate, very comfortable and everything felt brand new.   The size of the cottage is perfect for one couple and it was decorated beautifully!  I really appreciated the art work and fun usage of color around the cottage.  I would absolutely stay there again on my next visit to Austin and HIGHLY recommend this casita.  "
69810,883084,2012-01-25,81144,Ada,"We had a wonderful stay at the Birdhouse. Like other guests have mentioned, the pictures don't do it justice - there are many beautiful and thoughtful details that my friend and I kept finding and were obsessing over (we are both designers, so notice these things!). Like the fact that the kitchen cabinet doors are shallow enough to stay clear of your head when open, the impeccable floorplan and layout, the dark penny tiles in the bathroom, way the shower curtain is cut to fit perfectly in the shower, and has little suction cups to keep it from billowing around. Oh, and the basket of treats - organic chocolate, tea and coffee. The meticulous attention to detail makes you feel like you're being taken care of, so that you can simply relax and enjoy being there.
Dolina and her family were super nice and helpful hosts. Love that they compost too - was fun to contribute our coffee grounds and veggie scraps to the pile.
Location is great - Summermoon coffee bar is a short walk away, and South Congress is a short drive down the street.  "
69810,893777,2012-01-31,1542795,Aaron,"The casita was truly wonderful, as were Dolina and her husband!  My wife and I stayed here for 5 days and had a very relaxing time.  We arrived late and Dolina had left us info about the area, some fruit and drink and even an organic chocolate bar!  So nice!

I highly recommend the Casita.  It's quiet, has a very comfortable bed and it's very, very clean.  You'll probably want a car to get over to SoCon and the other areas - it'd be a bit far to walk - but we only used a quarter tank of gas for the whole 5 days.  Things are all that close.  You won't go wrong staying at the Casita and we'd DEFINITELY stay there again! "
69810,910770,2012-02-09,557111,Traylor,The Cozy Casita lived up to all the hype of all the photos. The design of the house was beautiful. Lots of great places to eat close by on 1st and South Congress The other plus was the outdoor seating beneath giant live oaks. Nothing better than to sit with a glass of wine and enjoy the great trees. Final kudo- Dolina was a great host!
69810,922851,2012-02-15,1553254,Charles,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and it was absolutely wonderful. My girlfriend and I loved everything about the little casita and would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. It was conveniently located, only about 15 minutes away from the airport, about 5-10 minutes from the happening spots on South Congress, and only about a 10 minute drive to the downtown area. Dolina and her husband were gracious hosts, preparing the casita with tea, coffee, and chocolates for us to enjoy. They also provided a great book with recommendations for places to eat. Don't hesitate to book the casita for your next trip to Austin... we would absolutely stay here again!"
69810,936162,2012-02-21,274732,Carolyn,"My mother and I traveled to Texas and stayed at the Cozy Casita during our short visit in Austin--staying here was one of the highlights from our whole trip. As many others have commented, the space is amazing. Vaulted ceiling, lots of windows, good reads, lovely art. I liked that for such a small footprint it gave distinct areas in which my mom and I could each relax. It was very comfortable for two people. Our hosts made us feel welcome and were always available if we needed them. Dolina went out of her way to answer my questions on Austin. All in all, it was a great visit and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if I make it back to Austin!"
69810,953802,2012-02-27,1748107,Chrissie,"First time in Austin, TX and we had a great time! Dolina was a wonderful host---very accommodating and respectful of privacy. She also was a  resource when we needed to know about local hotspots.  Thanks for recommending UCHI! The casita is very comfortable and we loved the modern design.  Location was incredible----easy access to/from the airport plus all the super SoCo boutiques and restaurants."
69810,960677,2012-02-29,1409566,Juan Carlos,I stayed at the Cozy Casita for two nights while looking for an apartment in Austin and lets just say that it was the perfect place to come back and relax after two long days of searching all over the city. Dolina is the perfect host and will make you feel very welcome as soon as you arrive. All things Austin are just around the corner or a few minutes away.  Austin is a great city with much to offer and if you're looking to have a comfortable and fun experience make sure to stay at the Cozy Casita.
69810,971254,2012-03-05,1657702,Stephanie,"Before I arrived, Dolina contacted me with directions to the house. Even though I arrived late, Dolina's husband was there to greet me with the key and give me a brief tour. The Birdhouse is adorable! It's just the right size for a single person or couple, and is full of colorful art. The loft area is perfect for cozying up to read or get some work done.

The small kitchen has all you would need to make a vacation meal, although I didn't do any more than make some tea. Dolina had asked if I preferred coffee or tea, and how I took it, so everything was waiting for me when I arrived. She also provided a useful sheet of information on the house and surrounding area for reference.

The area around the house is a nice residential neighborhood, and Torchy's Tacos is within walking distance if you want to experience one of Austin's best taco places. There is plenty of other food close by, and if you like to run or bike there are some great trails in the Austin area.

I would definitely stay here again, and would recommend it to friends."
69810,999112,2012-03-14,1443329,Bradley,"What can I say about this place, other than it's PERFECT in every way. I really enjoyed my stay there. Dolina was extremely friendly and accommodating in every way. She went out of her way to give me a 5 star experience at the birdhouse. If there was a class to be taught on ""how to host on airbnb"", she'd be first on my list to teach it. The place was quiet, well-appointed and full of books that I would actually read. And the bus stop was just around the corner that took me straight downtown in about 10 minutes. Very convenient. I wish I could take this place back with me to San Francisco!"
69810,1015819,2012-03-19,352300,Vincent,For the second year in a row I stayed at the Cozy Casita in the funky south congress area and I enjoyed it even more than last year. 
69810,1274404,2012-05-14,619626,Centa,"Note: This review has Chinese version after the English-version paragraph.

We stayed here for almost two months, and we are blessed that we found this perfect house.
The sandpit, treehouse and slide gave our two children a lot of fun, very happy.
And of course, Dolina and Yohan were very friendly and helpful on all things, we really appreciated that.
We will definitely to stay in this place again once we get another chance to do so in the future.


我們在美國的兩個月,過得很幸福,因為我們很幸運,找到了一間非常完美的房子,前院的沙坑,樹屋和鞦韆,後院的草地,讓我們的兩個小孩玩得非常快樂,非常享受!
房東一家人的友善與幫助,也讓我們非常感謝!
如果有機會再來這裡,我們一定還會再來住這個地方!
不論是屋主或房子都非常值得推薦

69810,1333835,2012-05-23,1770737,Claire,"Our stay at the Birdhouse was perfect from the get-go.  Communication by text and email with Dolina was prompt and courteous, and she and her husband Yohan are warm and welcoming hosts.   The Birdhouse itself is just as charming and adorable as in the photos--if not more so!  Dolina is an interior designer and it shows- with the fun colors, design details, and ingenious use of space.  The house is cozy yet airy, trendy, yet 'homey'... and very practical with the kitchen nook and sleeping loft in addition to the main quarters.  The two closets were well lit and large, with lots of hangers and an iron and ironing board.  The beds were cozy!  Lovely fresh organic white linens to cuddle up in... And the towels in the well-stocked bathroom were thick and fuzzy.  The casita is tucked away from the road in a beautiful rear garden and very tranquil.  The patio was a delight to emerge onto in the cool morning to sit amidst he bamboo and live oaks and have a cup of coffee... SUCH a treat.  There is even a second patio behind the casita, but we loved the first one so much that we didn't feel the need to use it.  All in all, this was a wonderful experience that we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a unique experience in Austin.  A+++"
69810,1352254,2012-05-26,2317663,Nathan And Jennifer,"The Birdhouse is a neat place to set up your home base if you're headed to Austin. Dolina and Yohan are great hosts, and even let us check in an hour early. They put alot of thought into all the little touches. There's plenty of cool art in the room. And we thoroughl enjoyed the outdoor seating area.The SoCo location is in perfect proximity to plenty of good food and Barton Springs and Zilker. We would totally recommend the Birdhouse."
69810,1417759,2012-06-05,1601793,Sarah,This was the absolute best of all the the Airbnb places we have stayed at on our trip. The Birdhouse is perfectly set up and so relaxing. We loved the tea and the chocolate. Dolina is a welcoming fantastic host. After a busy couple of weeks travelling it was lovely to unwind and enjoy great food whilst staying in a lovely place in a cool city. We hope to be back!
69810,1450901,2012-06-10,969135,Catherine,"This Airbnb rental is attractive, comfortable, extremely clean, convenient to downtown and in a lovely setting under huge oak trees. It was very enjoyable to relax outside at breakfast in the shade and watch the birds and and squirrels. Dolina is a gracious host who drew us a map that helped us get oriented and gave us excellent restaurant suggestions. "
69810,1523026,2012-06-20,1130985,Grace,"Well, the reviews don't lie! The Cozy Casita is cute, comfortable, and perfectly appointed. If possible, it is even sweeter in person than in the pictures. While quite small, the Casita is perfect for one or two guests, and will do for three in a pinch. Dolina was communicative, welcoming, and friendly. She made sure we had coffee, tea and milk for breakfast before we arrived, and left us a thorough around-town guide for our Austin stay. (As an added bonus, she also has a large and eclectic collection of reading material.) I highly recommend this listing, and look forward to staying here next time I'm in Austin."
69810,1540666,2012-06-23,2213623,Bruce,"The unit is at least as nice as the pictures portray it to be. Location is 10-12 minutes from the University, 10 minutes from Barton Creek Pool, and about 20 from the airport. When Dolina told us what her favorite breakfast place was ""right now"", I knew she would prove to be the perfect host and Austin a great town. Both are true."
69810,1651466,2012-07-07,216537,Mary,"My boyfriend and I enjoyed 2 nights in Dolina's little casita in one of our favorite neighborhoods in Austin.  The decor is modern and cozy, the bed super cozy, and the shower has great water pressure. We truly felt like we were staying at The Saint Cecilia (our favorite ""hotel"" in town) because it's such a stylish and comfortable suite.

Dolina was so sweet to ask what we like to drink in the morning and provided fresh ground coffee, a french press, and milk!  Along with ripe fruit which truly started my day off right.  She went above and beyond!

As I said, her casita is in a great neighborhood near cafes and food carts we love, and it's a quick drive to South Congress and Downtown.  For my favorite spots in Austin see my city guide:  (website hidden)

The only thing I would suggest is to bring your own bottled water as the tap water is not drinkable in my opinion.
"
69810,1697302,2012-07-13,2581829,Meghan,"wonderful place. It has everything you need and is so clean and comfortable and private. We cooked dinner and ate on the back patio. The hosts were very nice and had everything ready for us from beach towels to coffee and tea, shampoo..etc.. 
i great place to stay in austin, and is close enough drive to everything in  just a few minutes. 
"
69810,1743616,2012-07-18,2920197,Katie,"We absolutely loved staying in Dolina's beautiful ""Birdhouse"" It was a breath of fresh air after days staying in roadside hotels for several days.

It is convenient, clean, modern, and quaint. I very much enjoyed taking my coffee out on the patio in the mornings to read in the shade and listen to the birds. It is so lovely, you hate to have to leave. 

Dolina was very kind and easily accessible when required yet allowed us our space and privacy at all times.

I emphatically recommend this property and will definitely book again if I return to Austin! "
69810,1791255,2012-07-24,2571972,Katherine,"We had an amazing time at the Birdhouse! It was a restful and immaculately clean space removed from the hustle and bustle yet only a short drive away from everything we wanted to do. The house is even cuter than it looks here- there were no bad surprises, only good surprises like fresh fruit, a helpful list of fun things to do and delicious things to eat, a well-appointed kitchen, a faucet in the shower for foot-washing, many soft linens, and a thoughtfully designed and decorated space. The outside space was so inviting that we ate outside despite the 100+ degree weather. Thank you to our hosts for making us feel at home!  "
69810,1823577,2012-07-28,2989270,Kathrine,"Dolina was perfectly pleasant. Her home was lovely and we were so comfortable during our stay. This sweet little casita was by far superior to anywhere we could have paid to stay for the same price. Best of all, the location was fantastic. We were less than a 5 minute drive to fun shops and restaurants on S.Congress and it took us less than 10 minutes to get to the airport. I would recommend any one of my friends to stay here and I would certainly enjoy staying with Dolina on any future trips to Austin."
69810,1894648,2012-08-05,1613877,Anna,It is great there. SO NEAR to everything and beautifully decorated. Quiet and the air con does a good job. Dolinda is very sweet too. We would stay there again. 
69810,1975359,2012-08-13,2341216,Carolyn,We loved staying here! Such a cute little casita and an architectural marvel. Hosts were very nice and turned us on to some great local restaurants. Highly recommended.
69810,2006795,2012-08-16,3212348,Jeremy,The birdhouse was perfect for our needs. It was small and quiet with no distractions for relaxing. The loft was a perfect place to read :) We loved it and will definitely consider it again on our next visit to Austin.
69810,2028357,2012-08-19,2713695,Virginia,"The Birdhouse was a great place to stay in Austin! Dolina was very responsive and helpful. The place itself is beautifully designed, exceptionally clean, and a pleasant alternative to any hotel. It exceeded my (already high) expectations, and I would definitely stay here again!"
69810,2555441,2012-10-09,2151345,Jennifer,"Loved stay in the birdhouse! It was beautiful, clean, and quiet! Dolina was precious and welcoming.  We cannot wait to go back and stay there again!!! Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else!!!!"
69810,2591940,2012-10-12,2812736,Tulsi,Dolina was a great host & I had a wonderful time and at this more beautifully designed space! 
69810,2627282,2012-10-16,560722,Juliette,"The birdhouse is the best place to stay in Austin!  We loved everything about our stay here and highly recommend it.  The place was even better in person and Dolina was a wonderful host.  The location was great too, the bus is very close and a very easy way to get downtown."
69810,2655626,2012-10-19,3528424,Evelyne,"We really enjoyed our stay in this little casita, excellent taste in architecture and design, extremely clean and very cozy. Plus it is really close to everything you will want to visit in Austin. We'll be happy to recommend the casita!"
69810,2837623,2012-11-08,3279885,Tyler,"Dolina was a wonderful host and the casita couldnt have been more comfortable, efficient and fun to stay in! I would recommend it to anyone! We hope to stay again next year!"
69810,2883681,2012-11-14,3252471,Lucinda,"My friend Louise and I stayed with Dolina and Yohan for three nights. What a great place! The dollhouse was lovely to stay in, designed in such a thoughtful and considered way with great taste. The location was great too, near all the awesome shopping in Soco. Dolina and Yohan were thoughtful and gracious hosts, and their dog Lucy was very friendly when she popped by as well.
Highly recommended!"
69810,2925189,2012-11-20,1575727,Jad,"
Perfect Casita for our stay in Austin. 
Nicely decorated and convenient for access to the City or COTA.
Dolina is very welcoming and went out her way to answer questions
about the area, be it things to do, places to see or restaurants.
Highly recommended for your next stay in Austin.
Will be back."
69810,2944825,2012-11-23,3157368,Claudia,"This is the sweetest place to stay in Austin! Amazing space, great location SoCo, timely and easy communication from start to finish,  friendly/helpful hostess all contributed to a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving week. "
69810,2985577,2012-11-28,3448155,Benjamin,"This aptly named bnb provides a quiet, attractive, comfortable retreat about a mile south of the SoCo restaurant district and 2 mi south of downtown. Dolina went out of her way to assure our comfort, and that included providing coffee for our stay and stocking the fridge with our preferred milk. Prospective guests should note that the loft is prohibited for youngsters (check with Dolina for age minimum) and may be inaccessible to less nimble oldsters. Also, the downstairs bed requires one person to sleep against the wall. That was not a problem for us, but it may be a hindrance for some."
69810,3018583,2012-12-03,3417543,Jason,"This was our first trip to Austin and I couldn't imagine a friendlier reception or a nicer place to stay than with Dolina & Yohan. Their guesthouse is airy, private, beautifully designed, and thoughtfully appointed. We walked and took buses all over town, and loved coming back to relax and regroup in this lovely South Congress location. We hope to be back in Austin very soon, and know exactly where I'd prefer to stay."
69810,3101341,2012-12-17,2130269,Amanda,"We had a fantastic stay in the bird house, and would recommend you stay here in Austin! Dolina was a great host - she had written out instructions on how to use everything and places to eat etc., she even asked us what we like to drink in the mornings and had fresh juice, tea, fruit etc available :) The house looks exactly like the pictures and you can't really go wrong! Communication was easy and Dolina was flexible with check-in for us as we were arriving late. The location is just out of the city, and is a 5min drive or bus (maybe you can walk!) to SoCo food trucks/shops etc. Great experience :)"
69810,3151942,2012-12-25,1700671,Uyen,"We had a wonderful stay at the birdhouse! Great location.... Just five minutes from food trailers and all the great shops on South Congress. Also conveniently located near Target and a Central Market for any shopping needs.

The birdhouse was clean with tons of natural light. We loved opening all the windows and reading in the window ledge. What we liked best was how incredibly quiet it was. We slept in and had relaxing mornings with warm tea and fruit all provided by Dolina.

Can't wait to come back!"
69810,3215979,2013-01-02,3217112,Heather,"This is a long overdue review for Dolina and her absolutely charming guest house. My partner and I were in Austin for the first time for a friend's wedding over New Year's Eve (phone number hidden)) which was being held at nearby Mercury Hall. Given the timing of the event, we decided it would be ideal if we could find a place to stay within walking distance of the venue and we could not have been more pleased to find this property.

Firstly I wanted to say that Dolina was very prompt in her responses to our initial inquiries and very obliging in providing additional information about transport issues, the surrounding neighborhoods and the city in general. This made planning a lot easier since we were in unfamiliar territory. When we arrived we couldn't have been more pleased with the casita. The space is thoughtfully arranged and decorated, very clean and feels quite private. (My partner wondered more than once whether we ought to leave our Sydney apartment and build ourselves a little home modeled on this one out in the Australian bush!) Dolina politely left us to our own devices but was always readily available if we needed anything.

We would quite happily stay here again and would recommend the property unreservedly to anyone who was keen to stay in the area. In terms of value for money, you certainly can't beat it. "
69810,3283536,2013-01-05,1992373,Nancy,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at the the birdhouse! The place was incredibly cozy, charming and well stocked with a great assortment of books–– we would have been happy just staying in and reading for an entire week! Dolina was a lovely host and had provided us with tea, coffee fruit, and chocolates. The location is great-- very central but at the same time tucked away so it was nice and quiet. Lets just say we didn't want to leave! We would definitely stay here again!"
69810,3356844,2013-01-16,4186640,Buck,"My girlfriend and I flew to Austin on a whim and a hunch, looking to see what it was all about. We spent a week based out of the Bird House in the ultra-hip SoCo neighborhood. As it turns out, the best part of our get-away was staying here! The accommodations went above and beyond  - coffee, tea, (email hidden)! Not to mention fresh towels, linens, books, and a full kitchen. We saved a lot of money eating breakfast in the house before romping around each day. The location was great - beautiful, safe, and convenient.  However, if you're planning on getting around Austin quite a bit, the bus can be a bit of a walk (7 min max). I would suggest a rental car. All in all, it was an honor to stay at the Bird House and be the guests of such gracious hosts. Tremendous Value!"
69810,3868600,2013-03-23,4933846,Jessica,"We stayed at Dolina's birdhouse for our short honeymoon in Austin, TX and it was just an amazing experience all around. Dolina is organized and got everything ready before we arrived. There was even coffee and cream for our mornings and water already in the fridge. The location of the Birdhouse is central and very convenient to visit all the different neighborhoods and areas.  Dolina was helpful throughout our entire stay and it was just awesome! We would definitely stay here again when we come back!"
69810,3947009,2013-03-30,541877,Tiffany & Meredith,"We had a wonderful time staying at the Birdhouse, which is a very clean, well designed space. Dolina was very kind and accommodating. We'd love to stay here again next time we're in Austin. "
69810,4031182,2013-04-04,4758156,Emily,"This was a lovely, comfortable little house with a great backyard where we had breakfast every morning.  We were visiting Austin for four days and chanced upon the perfect location - close to downtown but removed from the noise and traffic.  Great local restaurants, welcoming hosts."
69810,4079018,2013-04-08,3805958,Pam,"This casita is a gem in every way. A real little jewel. The design is exquisite,  every view from every angle is a delight. The interior design is superb and the quality of the workmanship is impeccable. And it's set into a lovely outdoor space with a back and front outdoor seating area, with doors that open on both sides and a wonderful reading loft!! We didn't want to leave.
Dolina and Johann are delightful!!"
69810,4162912,2013-04-15,5347779,Jana,"The Birdhouse Casita is spotlessly clean, perfectly located and well appointed. First of all, the place is as cute as can be. The bed is comfy, beautiful lot with sitting areas and trees. Birds singing and a very quiet neighborhood. The owners have thought of everything. Plenty of towels, great pillows, ironing board, fresh fruit, coffee, chocolate, books, reading lights for the bed...you will want for nothing. The location was great for sightseeing, for going downtown and close to South Congress, as well. We had our own car, so we drove everywhere. I would definitely stay here again. It was perfection!"
69810,4225659,2013-04-20,5726101,Christina,"We loved our stay at Cozy Casita - great location, great apartment, and a friendly, thoughtful host. Highly recommended!"
69810,4290277,2013-04-25,3250657,Sina,"This space was so amazing, creative and tranquil!!!  Thank you again Dolina for being such a great host, we loved our Austin experience and this was very much a part of it.  Looking forward to the next trip!!"
69810,4529468,2013-05-11,2665994,Jay,Great place in the best area! Ideal for a short getaway for two.
69810,4571849,2013-05-13,80779,Denise & Terry,"WONDERFUL first experience with airbnb.  The Cozy Casita near downtown in SoCo Austin is the perfect location, close to the heart of Austin, but just far enough for peace and quiet. It was especially nice to return, refresh and go again. The birdhouse is super clean.  There wasn’t a thing we needed that wasn’t provided.  French press coffee in the morning, lights by the bed, lots of soft, plush towels and many other things if you want to cook, celebrate or just relax. Dolina has thought of everything, and she’s only a text away if you need anything. She recommended some great places to eat and shop. Torchy’s Tacos is not to be missed – for breakfast, lunch and or dinner!  The perfect location with a very delightful host. "
69810,4611522,2013-05-15,3178884,Wendy,"The Cozy Casita was absolutely wonderful!  I could not have been happier.  Dolina is the perfect host, and the space is quite magical, filled with light, beautifully designed, perfectly appointed with artwork and attention to detail.  Super comfy bed, lots of towels, peaceful and quite and perfectly climate controlled.  I was greeted by Donina's husband, Yohan, who was warm and welcoming and ready to give me any guidance I needed.  There were fresh cherries and a beautiful orchid next to the keys and information sheet.  Dolina messaged me the day before my arrival to ask if I preferred coffee or tea in the morning and how I took it.  My preference was there waiting for me.  I had all the privacy I needed, as well.  I met Dolina and her sweet lab, Lucy, as I was packing to leave.  Awesome folks and an awesome place.  "
69810,4764173,2013-05-24,6376687,Daniel,The Cozy Casita is a wonderful place to stay.. Dolina is a very thoughful host and we will definitely stay there again the next time we're in Austin!
69810,4875093,2013-05-30,2200769,Ashley,"We had a great stay in the ""Birdhouse!"" We couldn't have asked for a cleaner, quieter, and more peaceful stay. The bed was comfortable, too! I appreciated the coffee and organic creamer in the fridge, too. We would not hesitate to stay here again. 
"
69810,4941077,2013-06-03,6049989,Catherine,"This was our first time trying out a place on airbnb. We thought we'd venture away from a hotel this trip and we were so glad we did! Our stay at the Birdhouse was great! So much better than any hotel. It was cozy, very clean and decorated cute. We had everything we needed and Dolina was really helpful, giving us tips on where to eat and what to do in Austin. Dolina even asked our preference on coffee or tea and had it waiting for us. Would definitely stay here again. "
69810,5015640,2013-06-07,3921999,Paul,"We had a wonderful stay at Dolina's Cozy Casita.  Our ""Birdhouse"" under the oak trees was perfect. Our host Dolina gave us great recommendations for exploring Austin. Our two day stay could not have been more enjoyable."
69810,5054597,2013-06-10,6032267,Mike,"My wife and I had an amazing stay at Dolina's Cozy Casita. This was our first stay using airbnb, and we could not have been happier. The space is immaculate, with great art and bright sunshine. The location is ideal; minutes from SOCO, Downtown and very near I35. Dolina's Casita may very well become our home base when visiting Austin."
69810,5242880,2013-06-20,90206,Lauren,"Dolina was a great host and her space is beautiful!  My sister's flight was canceled which threw our travel plans into disarray.  Dolina was patient, flexible and once we finally arrived, met us happily.  Her casita is clean, well appointed, comfortable and quiet.  Would highly recommend!"
69810,5450972,2013-07-01,1129242,Jordan,Dolina was a fantastic host and very communicative! The casita was so adorable and definitely enough room for 2 people. It was bright and cheery. My husband I come to Austin often and we would definitely stay here again!
69810,5555981,2013-07-06,5742633,Dani & Sarah,We were on our way to our new home in Oregon from Florida and decided to stay at this wonderful peaceful place in Austin. Close to many things and super cozy.
69810,5640421,2013-07-09,4131162,Candice,My husband and I stayed in the cozy casita for the beginning of our honeymoon. It was so cute and clean and Dolina was a great hostess. I loved the design and the coffee too. Thank you so much Dolina!
69810,5697460,2013-07-12,1114278,Eric,"Dolina provided the perfect Austin experience — charming space in the South Congress district, a wonderfully relaxing base for exploring the city.

Check-in was a breeze, parking easy, and the space was immaculate. There's plenty of walking to be done in the neighborhoods arounds 1st Street and Congress Street, and downtown is a very short drive (or bus ride) away. The Casita is close enough to allow for quick drop-ins during the day — a nap after La Barbecue, or a quick shower after spending the afternoon at Barton Springs. It's just the right size for two people, with lots of natural light and some quiet patio space to relax in the morning or evening. There's also a lovely selection of books if you feel like lounging in the picture window for a while.

Wish we'd had more time! Two nights was definitely not enough,"
69810,5762051,2013-07-15,7038196,Michel,"From the moment we booked the casita to the day we checked out, Dolina was a warm and thoughtful host. Dolina's casita is immaculate! From the freshly ground coffee to the organic chocolate, Dolina definitely went out of her way to make us feel welcome. "
69810,6036017,2013-07-27,3740604,Nicholas,"My wife and I had a great time at the Cozy Casita. We stayed three nights in July in the midst of a cross country road trip. The space is perfect for two people, very comfortable, and really felt like home. The Casita is a short drive, bus ride, or cab ride to great bars, restaurants or parks in Austin, but is just out of the way enough to be quiet and not in the thick of it. 

We enjoyed coming back to the Casita at the end of the day and relaxing in the back yard with a cold drink. Very peaceful. Dolina was a wonderful host and check-in and check-out was a snap. I would recommend the Cozy Casita for anyone visiting Austin who wants a nice quiet and inviting space. "
69810,6435154,2013-08-12,7608514,Kate,"Our stay in Dolina's Casita was terrific!  I live in Austin, but wanted to stay somewhere fun with my mom while she was visiting from Minnesota.  The location is perfect, a quiet neighborhood in close proximity to Zilker and SoCo and the property is lovely, spacious and private.  The Casita itself was impeccably clean and very comfortable, with a varied collection of books and magazines.  Plus coffee! :) All in all we had a great stay and would definitely recommend the place!"
69810,6563335,2013-08-17,1531125,Marek,"Dolina and her husband provided us with a cute and clean casita! They were excellent communicators and made an effort to make sure we felt at home. It was private enough to feel like it was our own place, which I was grateful for. My girlfriend now wants to stay here every time we come back to Austin!"
69810,6640379,2013-08-19,166365,Sherri,"I loved working with Dolina and staying in her lovely Casita! She was prompt in her replies and was proactive in our communication. The Casita is clean, quiet and decorated well - just as you see in the pictures. I will surely check the Casita's calendar when traveling to Austin again!"
69810,6696972,2013-08-21,7110395,Kamisha,"Absolutely beautiful, sparkling, and well decorated space! We left with many design ideas... Can't wait to return!"
69810,6980450,2013-09-02,4621167,Faith,"Absolutely perfect. I live in Austin and my mom comes to town once a year for our annual mother/daughter ""staycation."" The Casita could not have been better, so cute and clean and Dolina and her family were excellent hosts. We will for sure be repeat guests. "
69810,7132695,2013-09-08,5668924,Jon & Cyndi,This was our first experience with airbnb and we loved everything about the birdhouse! It was cute and charming nestled in their back yard. The hosts were very hospitable and always responded to my questions in a timely manner. It is in a great location and we were very happy with our stay!
69810,7213878,2013-09-10,1638037,Jessica,"Cat allergies at a friend's place created a housing emergency during our Austin visit, and we wrote Dolina through airbnb in the middle of the night, hoping for an oasis for the rest of our stay.  She emailed us back promptly in the morning and was so accommodating!  We spent the next few days in bliss in her adorable casita.  This tiny house uses space marvelously, has perfect climate control, a comfortable bed, coffee, tea and everything you'd ever need.  A perfect romantic hideaway for two, with a window seat and a loft to read or cuddle in, all the books you can read, an oversized shower and a huge property to admire while you eat breakfasts on the patio.  I can't recommend this place, or Dolina's hospitality, more highly.  My fiancé and I consider ourselves lucky to have been there, and will undoubtedly stay again if its available next time we're in Austin!"
69810,7278784,2013-09-14,8067414,Matthew,"Better-than-advertised place in a terrific part of town. The casita itself was warm and inviting, and the host was very helpful with directions, restaurant suggestions, etc.

My wife loved the contemporary charm of the casita, along with the fact that all the primary bases were well covered (great shower, great bed, great parking). I loved the fact that we were within a 10-minute drive of downtown, SoCo and Sixth Street, but could come back to a quiet cozy place at the end of the night.

Bottom line, we would not hesitate to stay here again."
69810,7327478,2013-09-16,2773976,Rachel,"We absolutely loved staying at the Birdhouse! Dolina and Yohan were fabulous hosts and they made sure we had everything we needed. My fiancé and I were in Austin to do some wedding planning and this was the perfect place to stay. It was centrally located and super convenient to all of the fun things on both South Congress Ave. and First Street. The Birdhouse itself was so, so nice - it was spotless, inviting, nicely decorated. It really was a haven - we felt so rested and rejuvenated after we left! The kitchen has everything you need, too - we made French press coffee in the morning, whipped up oatmeal for breakfast, and drank wine at night using the great dishes and glassware in the kitchen. The bathroom is gorgeous, complete with a beautiful shower.

We would be thrilled to stay at the Birdhouse again, and we'll be recommending this spot to our out-of-town guests who will be coming to Austin for our wedding in April!"
69810,7482234,2013-09-22,236693,Katie,"Dolina and her casita were perfect. Her attention to detail, the beautiful art on the walls and furnishing along with the fabulous location of the house were all exactly what we were looking for during our time in Austin. We will definitely be returning next time we are in town. "
69810,7610488,2013-09-26,415108,Nadia,"This was my second time staying at the casita. And I am so glad I was able to stay here. Dolina was a wonderful and kind host. She and Yohan offered yo pick me up from San Antonio after a car accident left me without a way to get back. They were also incredibly flexible and allowed me to stay an extra day when I needed to more time to get settled after the accident.
The casita is still as clean, cozy and beautiful as I remember it. Looking forward to future visits and stays at the casita."
69810,7638430,2013-09-27,415108,Nadia,"This was my second time staying at la casita. It was just as clean, comfortable and cozy as I remembered it. Dolina and Yohan are wonderful and kind hosts! Staying here is highly recommended. "
69810,7689821,2013-09-30,2665482,Kelly,We loved our visit to Austin. Stayed three nights at the Casita and could have stayed much longer. Close to everything but still felt secluded. Dolina and her family were wonderful hosts. If you are visiting Austin this is an excellent place to stay!
69810,7868229,2013-10-07,4704306,Rebecca,"What a wonderful place to stay! It was perfect for three people. Clean, comfortable, bright, and cheery are the first words that come to mind to describe this place that truly felt like our home for the weekend. The space is thoughtfully designed and so much fun to live in. Dolina is kind and sweet, just present enough to make you feel comfortable (thanks for the coffee and milk!), but totally respects the privacy of her guests. We are definitely looking forward to staying here again and again. "
69810,8077271,2013-10-15,6033462,Diego,My girlfriend and I stayed for five days here. Dolina was an excellent hostess and la casita was perfect. We were able to get to and from the festival very easily via bus and taxis. I would definitely recommend la casita to anybody going to Austin. 
69810,8324334,2013-10-26,6415440,Kele,"The Casita was the perfect place for my husband and I to stay on our honeymoon trip to Austin. Although we were out and about for much of our trip, it was a lovely, cozy place to come home to each night. Dolina and Yohan were great hosts (even though we only ran into each other once during the whole week!), and the Casita was well stocked with treats in the kitchen, extra toiletries in the bathroom, and comfy linens and towels. I found the window seat to be the best perch! The entire space was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and made us feel like we had our own private get-away, all at a cost that wouldn't have gotten us into a sub-par hotel room. 

Logistically speaking, we were without a car for the week but found it super easy to get around using Austin's bus system. The #10 Metro bus stop is only about two blocks away and runs all the way up through downtown Austin and into the northern University of Texas campus area, and an unlimited day pass for the bus system is only $2. The first day we walked into downtown, since it's only about two miles away, and we did a lot of walking throughout the week since so many things are nearby. We did use Yellow Cab to get to and from the airport, and once to go out to dinner, and they had no trouble finding us and were very reasonable. We were able to access tons of shops, restaurants, and activities and found the Casita to be central to everything we hoped to do!

We would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit Austin, and would certainly visit again if we return!"
69810,8432950,2013-10-30,8769816,Brandi,"My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at the Birdhouse.  Dolina was a kind hostess who provided everything we could need during our stay, including a french press, ground coffee, and a couple of local beers!  The Birdhouse is clean, modern, and cozy.  The bed and bedding downstairs is amazing, and the daybed upstairs is great for an afternoon nap.  Overall, we were very impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail!  Should we ever find ourselves needing a place to stay again in Austin, the Birdhouse will be our #1 choice.  "
69810,8480078,2013-11-02,4685722,Madeleine,"We couldn't have asked for a better stay in Austin!
The Cozy Casita is situated towards the back of Dolina and Yohan's property, and it's very quiet and peaceful. The apartment was filled with thoughtful touches like cool art and a shower with a built-in seat. The mini library was filled with great books on Austin and beyond.
Dolina asked about our coffee and tea preferences and left us all the fixings, plus a delicious dark chocolate bonus!
The bed was very comfortable and warm; we slept like logs.
We'd definitely stay here again!"
69810,8569708,2013-11-05,4340521,Sarah,"We stayed in the casita for a relaxing  long weekend in early November. We loved the space- it had everything we needed and was thoughtfully decorated and outfitted. Beautiful design details throughout the residence, plus a high lofty ceiling to add an airy, open quality to the space. Dolina provided us with coffee and tea for the mornings, making us feel right at home. The casita is a free-standing building on their property so we had plenty of privacy. We found the location to be perfect for our various forays in and around Austin, and easy to get to and from the airport. Dolina is a perfect host. We would definitely stay here again!"
69810,8712787,2013-11-13,6688995,Bev,"La Casita was an ideal place for our trip to Austin for Fun Fun Fun Fest! Doljna was a lovely host and everything was perfect! It's a tad bit if a hike from downtown, so bikes or a car or necessary, but very convenient to everything - located just off South Congress! We would definitely stay at La Casita again! "
69810,8861625,2013-11-22,8654085,Shanon,"We had a great stay @ The Casita and Dolina was a great Host.. We had everything we needed and felt the Birdnest was relaxing and was perfect location while visiting Friends while n ATX.. We look forward to more visits to ATX and hope The Casita is our new Home away! 

"
69810,8898053,2013-11-25,8833141,Debbie,"We had a great time in Austin and since the weather was so awful we were in the Casita a little more than we planned.  It was the greatest.  So comfortable and cozy.  Dolina was a fantastic hostess who was willing to help in any to way make our stay a perfect one.  
I plan on returning every time I visit my son and his wife.  So much better than a hotel!
The loft was our favorite place to have a cup of coffee/tea and read in the morning.  So relaxing and stress free!!  I can't wait to come back.  Debbie B"
69810,9201888,2013-12-13,1768181,Celia,"This property is absolutely gorgeous. I would have happily spent more time lazing around the casita if there wasn't so much exploring to be done in Austin. Dolina keeps the place immaculate, stocked full of great reading material and kindly left us tea, coffee and delicious chocolate. We were without a car and getting to and from downtown was a breeze on the bus. Thank you Dolina, hope to see you again someday. "
69810,9318890,2013-12-21,9964475,Danielle,"Like just about every other review for Dolina and the Birdhouse, our stay was wonderful! Dolina was attentive, incredibly accommodating (thanks for the cream for my tea!) and the Birdhouse was perfect in every way. This will definitely be my first choice to stay in Austin. "
69810,9465622,2013-12-30,734030,Scott,Great place and great hosts – recommended.
69810,9637719,2014-01-04,9450978,Adam,"This was my first time using airbnb. I was pretty nervous but felt confident in what I had booked. The pictures you see are very representative of what the place looks like. There is actually a  loft up the ladder that has a small bed, great for reading if you are able to get there. 

Dolina and her husband were great hosts. The place is located behind their main property but it never felt like we were on top of each other or that we were being watched. They were very respectful and I hope, they in return, felt respected by us. The location is great - very close to downtown and s. Congress.  

This was actually my first time in texas and while I Knew Austin was open minded, I still had some reservation about traveling with my boyfriend. This isn't a concern for most  but something that we have to think about when we travel. But as soon as we were greeted upon arrival, and I saw their David Sedaris books on the bookshelf, I knew it was ok. 

I have nothing but positive things to say. It was a great stay and I would go back in a heart beat."
69810,9761065,2014-01-08,8140323,David,"From the moment i arrived until the moment i left everything was perfect.  I can't wait until business brings me back to Austin so that I can stay at the birdhouse again.  So clean, light, tasteful and comfortable that i considered selling my house in Seattle and moving in for good.  "
69810,9839712,2014-01-13,2437198,Kathryn,"Fantastic spot! I lived in Austin for 8 years and recently moved but had to go back for a good friends wedding so we wanted to stay someplace fun and different rather than a hotel. Dolina was great and had the coffee/ tea/ milk that we like waiting in the fridge. Super cosy and very clean made for a great stay. As the say, the devil is in the details and this Casita most defiantly gets 5 stars for it! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
69810,9876493,2014-01-16,10543255,Leslie,"I spent a wonderful three nights at  Dolina's Cosy Casita.  It was cozy and lovely--interesting books and art and a very efficient use of space.  She provided delicious coffee and teas and a small bowl of Clementine's, too.  I looked forward to coming home at the end of each day."
69810,9906913,2014-01-18,39829,Michael,Nice clean place with pretty much everything you could need. Dolina was flexible with my arrival time and responsive. Thanks!
69810,9959172,2014-01-21,816797,Hope,"Loved staying here! Dolina has amazing taste as the birdhouse had a creative use of space and gorgeous interior design. Within walking distance to the bus-- and Torchy's Tacos. Would definitely stay here again.

Thanks for the hospitality Dolina!"
69810,10115827,2014-02-01,1481843,Samantha,"The casita was perfect for our stay in Austin, and Dolina was a wonderful host—cozy nook for doing work or reading, little kitchen stocked with anything you might need, and a great collection of books—we'll definitely stay here again next time we're in town!"
69810,10153413,2014-02-03,5017918,Don,i love the birdhouse!  dolina was a wonderful host and i can't wait to go back!  be sure to walk to summermoon for great coffee (the moon milk is addictive) and be sure to spend time in the crow's nest!
69810,10213113,2014-02-06,389840,Lexie,"Clean, comfortable, and outfitted with everything we needed. Whole process was very smooth, couldn't have worked out better. Thank you!"
69810,10311758,2014-02-12,1303403,Jenny,"Dolina was so accommodating! She asked for our preferences on things before we arrived and we felt totally welcome. 

The Birdhouse Casita is charming and so perfect for people visiting Austin who want to feel like they live there. Dolina had local books for us to read about and get familiar with the city. The house was clean and in working order. The neighborhood is quiet, but just around the corner from cafes and bus stops to anywhere.

Dolina was friendly and available, while not being overbearing or intrusive. She anticipated our questions and put us at ease. What a great host and place!"
69810,10454040,2014-02-19,11527315,Rachael,"My husband and I had an amazing time in the birdhouse and Dolina was a wonderful host. Their home is on a beautiful lot and the ""birdhouse"" is the perfect balance of well-lit, comfortable and open, yet also nice and contained, private and homey. The loft is a fun extra little space and the bed was very comfortable- we slept so well. Close to Soco, S Lamar, and other favorite Austin streets/spots. Definitely would highly recommend this place to stay for anyone and everyone :)"
69810,10500617,2014-02-22,12012823,Victoria,"This beautiful spot was the perfect addition to our holiday in Austin. Dolina is friendly and welcoming, and the casita was bright, clean and quiet. Just a little bit off the main South Congress strip it's a great location for those visiting Austin. 
I'm looking forward to staying here again!"
69810,10640552,2014-03-01,4731222,Julie,"Clean, modern, and cozy. Perfect for 2 people who spent most of the day and night experiencing Austin but then prefer a quiet and private place to relax and rest. Dolina, the host, was gracious to provide complimentary coffee and tea and oranges!

Best location if you enjoy being close to some of the coolest shopping and restaurants. Great shopping and eateries along South Congress and a quick drive to Torchy's, the best breakfast tacos in Austin!"
69810,10792208,2014-03-08,9739627,Helen,"The ""birdhouse"" was beautiful, immaculate, comfortable, and filled with really nice quality linens, dishes, bath products, etc.  Dolina was very sweet, giving us our space, and being available if we needed help with anything.  She left organic chocolate, tangerines, bottled water, organic 1/2 and 1/2 and coffee, teas, etc...very thoughtful.  In addition, there's a great little sitting area out front, and two blocks away there's a great gastropub for a good meal, and an amazing taco place for the best cheap eats in Austin.  The accomodations were more than we expected.  

My only word of caution is that the neighborhood felt a little questionable.  As two women using the bus to get around, and having to walk from the bus stop, we were a little nervous coming home after dark.  Otherwise, everything was fantastic."
69810,11098820,2014-03-20,12843201,Anna,"We really enjoyed staying here. This was my first time to Austin, and I could not have asked for a better experience. The house was perfect. It is in a great part of Austin, so we felt close to good food and shopping. The house was very charming, spacious and comfortable, we both slept like babies :) Last but not least, Dolina was very sweet and helpful. I would recommend staying here to anyone who wants to enjoy a little oasis after seeing the awesome sights of austin.  Thanks again Dolina!!"
69810,11170987,2014-03-24,11279702,Jeffrey,"This guest house is a great find in Austin.  Private, well equipped, beautifully decorated, it is perfect for a couple.  The host was welcoming, friendly and more than helpful in clueing us in to some of Austin's best stuff.  The location is great because it is only a 10 minute minute drive to downtown, but is on a quiet residential street.  We would not hesitate to recommend this place to our friends."
69810,11264444,2014-03-27,12509428,Sheila,"Dolina and the Birdhouse are wonderful!  We felt at home and Dolina left us coffee, tea, clementines, and chocolate making it EVEN better. Very cozy place and close to great food and coffee.  The perfect place to stay for a trip to Austin. Highly recommend!"
69810,11297254,2014-03-29,11358290,Molly,"Ideal! We stayed at 3 different Air bnb locations during our time in Texas, all within the same price range and this was by far the nicest! Free parking, breezy, wi-fi, nice sound system, easy driving distance to everywhere we needed to go. Dolina was so kind, great at communicating and accommodating, she gave us some great recommendations. There was delicious coffee and treats waiting for us. All of the linens were comfortable and high quality, nothing seemed to be ""skimped"" on, very clean. I highly recommend it and plan to stay there again next time I am in Austin."
69810,11353904,2014-03-31,12221169,Kristofor,"Lovely, lovely house!  It felt like a retreat in the midst of a fun and busy city.  We stayed here for the weekend and it was even better than we expected; clean, modern, comfortable, bright, airy and relaxed.  We rented bikes and rode almost everywhere during the day and then took cabs and the occasional bus at night, all very easy to do.  And Dolina is awesome - she was available when we needed her but not intrusive at all.  We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique getaway in Austin.  It costs far less than you would pay for a hotel of comparable quality and was definitely a better experience.    "
69810,11514153,2014-04-06,2845435,Jae,"Really couldn't ask for a more ideal stay.  Charming, convenient, every amenity thought of, French press, books...the list goes on.  Thank you for your warm hospitality, for building this beautiful refuge and for sharing with the world."
69810,11633229,2014-04-10,10520250,Nancy,"Thanks Dolina for a great stay!  The casita was fantastic-really clean,  modern and comfortable with absolutely everything you need (from biscuits to bose speakers!).  Would love to come back to visit and highly recommend to anypne wanting to explore austin. "
69810,11725019,2014-04-13,13795193,Jacob,Great place and great host! My only regret is not being able to live there. 
69810,11846997,2014-04-16,604281,Adam,"We have only good things to say about our stay. The place itself is thoughtfully and tastefully arranged with a super comfortable bed, a nice sound system, and a good mini-library. The light of the patio outside is golden and shade-dappled. The neighborhood is quiet but in close access to SoCo. Dolina was a flexible and helpful host. We hope to be able to stay here again. "
69810,12120350,2014-04-23,10472107,Serra,"Great little spot! Beautifully decorated, striking artwork, lovely patio (we especially enjoyed the back garden with its fruit trees), great location, and a lovely host who was attentive but not intrusive.  Chocolates and clementines were sweet touches we thoroughly enjoyed! "
69810,12191756,2014-04-25,14273387,Chrystal,Love the bird house! Dolina is great and I will be staying here again when I am in Austin. It is close to Down Town. Easy access from the freeway. This was my first AirBNB experience and it was a good one. Highly recommend these accommodations. 
69810,12272029,2014-04-28,11397148,Taryn,"The Cozy Casita is a very special oasis in Austin! From the modern, thoughtful interior to the beautiful patio, this is the BEST place to stay in town. No detail was overlooked - Dolina left us coffee and chocolates, and the most fabulous restaurant recommendations. If we ever find ourselves in this rad city again, sure hope to stay here again. Thank you for such an incredible weekend retreat. "
69810,12372055,2014-04-30,9032256,Keith,"Our stay at Dolina's ""cozy casita"" was great. Dolina was very personable and easy to deal with regarding directions and our time of arrival. The accommodations were clean, and the location alloewed easy access to any part of Austin and surrounding areas. The birdhouse as she calls it was very modern and up to date (wifi) with easy parking, an outside sitting area and all the comforts of home. We travel to Austin often and will certainly try this locale again."
69810,12602281,2014-05-06,9760751,Britt,"This place is so awesome I don't even know what to add to the previous reviews that hasn't already been said. Dolina is very helpful and communicative but we also had total privacy during our stay. The casita is completely adorable and comfortable, spacious and cozy all at once. The yard spaces are lovely and I think I took like 10 pictures just with the giant meerkat statue alone. The photos really show you exactly what it looks like, with the chic kitchen, loft, art, and other decorative touches. The location is awesome with the bus stop just around the corner and running twice an hour to take you to cool areas of South Congress or downtown. The neighborhood itself is also nice and safe. We had no problem getting a cab to take us either to or from the airport, which was also great. If you've ever had to wait for a cab in Austin, you won't have that worry here. I would definitely stay here again and also recommend it to friends. A true gem!"
69810,12822417,2014-05-12,13077786,Dan,"Dolina and her family were great hosts! Jackie and I had the best time visiting Austin, and the birdhouse was amazing!

Not much to say that hasn't already been said -- close to public transit, and still walking distance to SoCo and downtown. If we find ourselves in Austin, we would definitely stay with Dolina again.

Thanks for helping to make our trip so great!!"
69810,13004012,2014-05-17,13314230,Laura,"The birdhouse was a delight! Dolina was a great hostess, the location was hip, and although the weather the first two days was too much like home, we had a blast. We will return to Austin and the birdhouse!"
69810,13077691,2014-05-19,5450626,Jessica,"Loved it! Looks exactly like the pictures, was perfect perfect perfect for 2 people. Not far from anything and close to a lot of cool stuff. "
69810,13317809,2014-05-25,932230,Rosanna,"The bird house is a unique, lovely space--beautifully decorated and immaculate--and Dolina was a gracious host. She showed us the ins-and-outs of the studio upon our arrival, and we were happy to have freshly ground coffee in the kitchenette to start our day. (Oh, and the bed is super comfortable!)"
69810,13422062,2014-05-27,5017918,Don,"another wonderful stay in dolina's casita... capmetro's service was nice... very easy to get around without a car... simple, quiet, clean, no issues... a perfect weekend getaway!"
69810,13561411,2014-05-31,10877533,Emily,"The ""casita"" was perfect for my husband and I!  Beautiful space all around - every little detail was perfect.  We also loved the location- very central to lots of good food and fun!  I'd highly recommend this rental."
69810,13748770,2014-06-03,14760483,Chris,"We enjoyed our hosts a lot. We didn't get to talk too much, but Dolina was there to answer any questions we had and we got to have some conversations about changes in Austin over the years.

She was a great host and had iced tea for us when we arrived (yum!), and had parking available for us to use. 

We would definitely stay in the casita again - they have a small sign on the wall encouraging you to feel at home and we did."
69810,13882348,2014-06-07,4017913,Chris,The casita was a beautifully designed and kept space; a joy to stay in. Dolina was so friendly and a great communicator. Couldn't recommend highly enough!
69810,13949176,2014-06-09,681100,Brittney,"This is the type of place I've always wanted to stay in. I have traveled the world, and this is by far one of my favorite places. The Birdhouse was absolutely beautiful. I never would have thought a small space could feel so large. The ceilings were tall. Tons of natural light. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Clean. Tree swing. The bluetooth Bose speakers sound great for Pandora. Plenty of kitchen including convection oven/microwave and stove! The mini fridge had several items. The gracious host even supplied our favorite morning drink (organic green tea). The location was superb, quiet, and just what you'd want. We were 5-10 minutes from just about everything. Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely stay next time I'm in Austin."
69810,14188554,2014-06-14,14539920,Jason,"5 star plus! Thanks Dolina for welcoming us to your home. Perfect respite from booming Austin. Quiet, clean and beautiful place with snacks and coffee. Wonderful hospitality. Perfect location, we were very pleased to find so many great eateries and places to hang out right by the casita. 

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Best,
Jason"
69810,14553680,2014-06-22,12353554,Elizabeth,"I had a great visit with my family and felt lucky to stay so close to them. Dolina is a great host, she met me on arrival and was easily available if I needed her. The Casita was beautiful, comfortable and spacious enough for me and my daughter. This was my first time with Airbnb and it was all that I hoped for. Thank you Dolina, the Casita was a serene and pleasant home to return to at the end of the day."
69810,15324850,2014-07-07,15828453,Whitney,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the birdhouse.  Dolina was very friendly and made sure to contact her if we needed any help or had questions, but also allowed us total privacy.  The Birdhouse was very comfortable and private and very quiet as it was away from the main road.  The property was conveniently situated as it was only about 2 miles from downtown.  We definitely recommend this rental property."
69810,15451847,2014-07-09,15636318,Emily,"I loved staying at the casita during my trip to Austin! Dolina was a very helpful host--she made my boyfriend and me feel right at home. I really appreciated her responsiveness leading up to and during our stay and also her suggestions of great restaurants nearby. I would definitely recommend staying here, and hope it's available for my next trip to Texas!"
69810,15587605,2014-07-12,12848106,Tacy,We had an amazing stay at The Birdhouse!  Wonderful reception from the beginning with great ideas for eating and touring.  The Birdhouse has an eclectic mix of art that is wonderful to wake up to in the mornings!  You will not be disappointed! 
69810,15832968,2014-07-16,5477626,Diane And Jason,"It was very clean and welcoming.  Such a beautiful little home!!! Perfect for 2 people or even 3 if somebody sleeps in the loft. The hosts were very available and friendly and right on the property which was so nice!  What a unique place, it feels right out of architectural digest.  It really felt like home for our trip.  Would highly recommend it and would love to stay here for our next visit to Austin!  "
69810,16025878,2014-07-20,6819379,Ashley,"The Cozy Casita exceeded my expectations (which were already high based on pictures and reviews) and I can honestly say that it was one of the best airbnb places I have ever stayed in.  It was beautiful, clean, and well taken care of.  There was plenty of space to park and our host Dolina left us breakfast starters in the fridge.  Dolina was easy to communicate with and sent me plenty of information regarding our rental well in advance of our arrival.  There were travel books on Austin in the guest house and a binder full of personal restaurant recommendations and advice on things to do while visiting Austin.  We found that a lot of places we wanted to go to were in different areas of the city, so this location was ideal as it was relatively central.  We had a wonderful stay and will certainly try to stay here again if we find ourselves back in Austin soon."
69810,16100402,2014-07-22,2549772,Xue,"The Casita is that perfect backyard studio that I've always dreamed of building for myself. Since I do not have a gorgeous backyard like Dolina's with all the tall Live Oak trees, I will have to enjoy her Casita right now. The Casita feels big and spacious, which is what good design allows for, so do not let the size fool you. Next time I stay there, I might not leave. The location was perfect for getting around town; not too far, not too close. The Casita set far away from the main house so there's plenty of privacy. There's a front porch and a back porch! for enjoying that morning cup of tea. It was easy to get in touch with host; breezy check in and out."
69810,16772995,2014-08-02,2914765,Tom,"Dolina was an ideal host and the casita exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic, unique Austin experience. Looking forward to returning."
69810,16991115,2014-08-05,2073845,Paige,"Cool, calm and contemporary! That’s how I would describe this little gem!! Upon arrival, we were greeted by our host, Dolina, and her little sidekick! She was very helpful and had directions and recommendations readily available of cool things to do and places to eat and drink. This cottage is located between 1st and S. Congress so you are less than a few minutes from all the happening things! The contemporary cottage was super clean, comfortable and complete with books, ipod dock and maps, for you folks that want to take in all of Austin in a short period of time. After a long day of hustling and bustling around the city, it was nice to retreat to this quiet little cottage. The layout is fabulous. It’s perfect for 2 people (and possibly a little one) but no more than that. I stayed here with my best friend and we were more than comfortable. There is a futon in the upstairs loft and a comfy queen bed downstairs, with a cute area for reading and relaxing. No TV…which I found refreshing! I found the look and layout of this place, along with the art, to be right up my alley! I would highly recommend this place to couples for sure. There is a really cute shaded courtyard in the front that’s perfect for drinking morning coffee or tea. It’s aesthetically pleasing, quiet, relaxing, and in a great location. I highly recommend it!"
69810,17379111,2014-08-11,14410845,Mary Jo,Dolina was extremely pleasant and accommodating from the start. We were really happy with the cosita and would stay there again if we ever return to Austin!
69810,17608775,2014-08-15,4905363,Leticia,Dolina was a wonderful host and her property was beautiful. I highly recommend her Casita for singles and couples.
69810,18940197,2014-09-03,16684875,Alora,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at the casita during our Austin vacation. Dolina and Yohan were very welcoming and left tea and chocolate for us upon our arrival. The space is exactly as pictured and very clean, it was simply wonderful. There is also ample space for unpacking and storing luggage as well as toiletries. The hosts even provide some various things like shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, lotion, bug spray, and sun screen. If we ever come back to Austin, we will definitely stay here again. Great location in the middle of everything we wanted to see! A big thank you to our hosts. "
69810,19081887,2014-09-06,16837324,Carmen,"Staying at the Cozy Casita in Austin was perfect!  The space was clean, quiet and very comfortable.  Dolina was very welcoming and thoughtful.  She gave me the information I needed to get around the city easily.  
The location was close to restaurants and shops.  I would absolutely stay here again.  Thanks Dolina!"
69810,19265239,2014-09-09,15855798,J,"When we first got to the Casita Dolina made sure we felt like we were home by providing us with orange juice and tangerines. The Casita was the sweetest, most adorable place we have ever stayed. The pictures didn't do it justice, not only was it adorable, it was the best stay ever from the layout of the house to the unique paintings on the walls. We really loved the full use of the space.  There was a cute space upstairs to read a book or just hang out and the nook was another place to hang out. The patio was just perfect for sitting out and enjoying the beautiful scenery. It was the most absolutely perfect stay. Dolina had a quick guide book that was full of good places around town for fun, food or relaxing. She was a wonderful host and we honestly can't wait to come back and stay.  It was just a perfect trip.  If you ever go to Austin this is the place to go, you will want to move in!! Can't wait to come back and enjoy our stay with Dolina and her sweet family. "
69810,19435202,2014-09-12,9032256,Keith,This is the second time we have stayed at Dolina property. As with the first Dolina worked with our schedule and was very accommodating. WHen in AUstin we are visiting with family and have a busy schedule.
69810,19590678,2014-09-15,16209027,Amber,"The birdhouse was a great place to stay! It was my third time to Austin and my first time using AirBnB.  Dolina was very helpful as I was a newbie to this whole system.  We had to change our reservations and it was very easy and Dolina was great about accommodating us.  She was super welcoming and helpful when we arrived and gave us insight into the surrounding neighborhood.  The place is adorable with all the basics and I just wish we had more time to take advantage (we were in town for a wedding so it was go go go).  Dolina checked in right before our arrival asking what we prefer in the morning, coffee or tea. There was both available as well as milk (much needed and much appreciated.) The neighborhood is quiet and close to the main vanes.  We had a rental car and that was helpful to adventure around the city.  We would definitely love to stay again on another trip to Austin. "
69810,19930326,2014-09-21,72059,Chris,"Hosts: Although we didn't have a lot of interaction (we were constantly on the ""go"" ourselves), Dolina and Yohan were very friendly and accommodating, and went out of their ways on several occasions (let us check-in early on arrival, and helped us print something out on departure). Check-in instructions and tour were concise, not to mention there is a handy booklet on the coffee table that should answer any remaining questions!

Place: The birdhouse is clearly a special place, small but thoughtfully-designed and a joy to spend time in. We found ourselves even resisting ""going out"" on occasion, tempted by the tranquil and inviting surroundings that beckoned to ""slow down, read a book, take a nap""...all in all very relaxing, private, well-furnished, and more than adequate for a couple. Could easily imagine staying for longer periods of time without much inconvenience! 

Location: Enjoyed the proximately to downtown Austin and South Congress. Some difficulty turning out from main street onto South 1st or South Congress, as traffic was often congested and fast! With a rental car, it was easy to make several quick trips around Austin and back without spending much time in the car. Can't speak to proximity based on biking and/or walking, but lots of great restaurants / shops / grocery stores / etc. close by. In particular, we enjoyed the Elizabeth Street Cafe, the Juice Peddler, and Central Market. Surrounding neighborhood is clearly very nice, we felt safe at all times.

We would definitely stay here again next time in Austin!"
69810,20234272,2014-09-26,4452939,Timothy,"Dolina and her Husband were both ideal hosts! The space itself makes me never want to stay in a hotel again, so warm and cozy. Plus its so close to downtown and easy to walk to good coffee and tacos. "
69810,20425658,2014-09-29,14863554,Aimee,"The casita was a wonderful, cozy place to stay!  Dolina's small touches (from the french press to the great book selection) made our stay feel like home.  The location was nice and quiet and central to many great places.  We will definitely stay here again!"
69810,20589002,2014-10-01,21805716,Michelle,"What an incredible experience! Full disclosure: my father stayed at the Casita, I'm simply relaying his feedback. This was our first time using AirBnb and we couldn't be happier. Dolina is truly incredible. She responded to my email within 30 minutes and walked me through the AirBnB process. 
The day we arrived she walked us through the property and made us feel right at home. The Casita was lovely! It is a sanctuary in the middle of the city. Impeccably decorated, spacious, and relaxing. My father said he quote, ""slept like the dead"" because if was so peaceful. 
He will most definitely be back to the Casita on his next visit to Austin. 
Thank you again Dolina for being an incredible host and letting my dad take Razor's Edge back home with him.

69810,20809779,2014-10-06,542288,Amy,Dolina was amazing. My sister stayed at this house for my wedding and Dolina reached out directly to my sister and everything was lovely. My sister was happy with the casita and said it was her piece of heaven. Thank you Dolina for taking care of this during a very stressful time!

"
69810,21463796,2014-10-18,12361109,Colleen,"What a great experience! Dolina made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived in Austin. When we got to the casita she had fresh coffee & cream ready for our stay- we loved that! The space is beautiful! Tons of natural light, super clean, beautifully put together. We were beyond happy to call it home for our 4 nights in town. I have already told several family & friends it is a must if you are traveling around Austin. We only had a car one day and it was close to two bus tops (Congress and 1st) that can take you wherever you may need to go.  =o)  Overall, we were so pleased with our stay here! Thanks Dolina! We hope to come back soon! "
69810,21937544,2014-10-27,11746534,Kimmy,"Perfectly peaceful stay in a gorgeous space. Everything was clean, fresh and thoughtful with happy hosts and a good location. We walked approx 30 mins to SoCo each day which allowed you to eat as much as you could minus the guilt. Also, this always gets me, brilliant shower and fast wifi! "
69810,22083477,2014-10-29,22686285,Dianne,"Great experience from start to finish.  Dolina was great at reaching out  well in advance of our trip, making sure she understood our timing and caffeine preferences!  She was a fantastic resource for anything Austin.  The place was funky and fantastic - very nicely designed and decorated and cozy too.  It was perfect to have a peaceful oasis to escape to just outside the city scene."
69810,22414869,2014-11-05,23031885,Ryan,"Dolina was very welcoming and made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay! She was kind enough to ask if we liked coffee or tea and provided everything we needed to feel at home. The place was awesome to stay at as well! We loved the space and everything was very organized and clean! The reading loft was an especially fun feature of the place. Not to mention, the location is awesome! It was super easy to get to everywhere we wanted to go in Austin. Thanks Dolina, for being a wonderful host! We will definitely return for our next Austin trip!"
69810,22454194,2014-11-07,2090728,Matt,"There is not much to add to what has previously been gushed about this particular Airbnb accommodation.  The space is beautifully finished inside and out, with the most efficient use of space in a small dwelling I have ever seen.  You can tell the owners have a real panache for design, as evidenced by the massive skeleton hanging out in the tree near the casita and the other touches of art throughout the space.  It really felt like we splurged on this place based on the quality, though the pricing is actually extremely reasonable.

My only reservation when booking this listing was location; I was worried it may be too far from the parts of town we wanted to frequent during our stay.  However, this city is extremely car-friendly and, if you are driving, the location really couldn’t be better.  It is situated between the two major thoroughfares that take you to interesting parts of town, not a far drive from the many points of interest that Austin boasts.  Yet it is far enough removed to be a nice quiet retreat from the day’s activities.  We are usually all about using public transportation, but it just never really felt necessary in Austin; however, there are two relatively close major bus  lines to the Casita should you choose to enjoy the city sans-vehicle.

The host was extremely kind and flexible, and a breeze to communicate with as we made our way to the casita.  We had a great time here, and you will too – so hurry up and get on their calendar!
"
69810,22538716,2014-11-09,15760165,Kelsey,"Such a sweet cozy place! It is a tad smaller than it looks in pictures, but  you really don't need any more space. It's so charming and Dolina leaves you with everything you need. She is very sweet and accommodating! We had no issues with the place and it was a great experience. Highly recommend it! It's in a great part of Austin and you can't beat the price. "
69810,22652515,2014-11-11,2600698,Chris,Dolina's cozy casita is perfect. A great location and a gorgeous space. They had a ton of Austin Travel guides and magazines that we took full advantage of checking out some places we had not heard about yet. We had a short stay there but already want to go back. Dolina was great at communicating with us and out trip couldn't have been better. Thanks so much!

Located in on a quiet street, it's close enough to walk the great shops and restaurants on South Congress.

Dolina and her family were great hosts: attentive, friendly, and organized. If you're looking for a relaxing place in Austin, look no further!"

Surrounded by beautiful natural light and cozy nooks to spend time in, we humbly enjoyed our stay. I would absolutely recommend the Birdhouse and would love to stay there again!"

Another plus is that Dolina is responsive and helpful. "
69810,25352744,2015-01-13,19631245,Kelley,The Birdhouse was the perfect setting and location for my husband and I's 1 year anniversary mini vacation to Austin. The house is exactly as described but even cuter in person. Dolina was very welcoming and accommodating. We felt very safe and secluded in their backyard and it was right down the street from some of the best food and sites in Austin. We will definitely  be staying here again when we come to Austin.
69810,26516833,2015-02-15,2316395,Ann,"My extended stay at The Birdhouse was wonderful, start to finish!

As the pictures reveal, the space is gorgeous - equally perfect for relaxing or entertaining. But aesthetics aside, the experience exceeded expectations. Dolina was an extremely friendly and accommodating host, always available for help or questions. Most importantly though, she offered privacy and ultimately made me feel as if the space were my own.

This Airbnb is hard to beat and definitely worth a stay!

The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Dolina was very helpful, and we really enjoyed her recommendations, especially Elizabeth Street Cafe for Vietnamese food nearby. The casita was a perfect home base, especially since it was a bit rainy while we were in Austin. Thank you so much Dolina for a perfect vacation!"

Was out of town prior to my family's arrival and would not be back before we left.  However, she was in close contact and had everything organized with welcome note.  Linens, towels and extra bedding were provided and clean.   She even left a stack of quarters to use in the on premises laundry machines, which was an appreciated touch.
 
JJs home was inviting and just what we needed for a quick get away weekend.

They really went out of their way to make our trip to Austin smooth in terms of transportation and getting to see Austin. The pool on their property was a nice treat as well. Our trip wouldn't have been the same if we would have chosen a different place to stay. Jessie and Michael are awesome human beings, and their home was perfect for our needs. "

Whenever I had a question, they both were ready to give me tons of advice and suggestions such as what restaurants or activities to do around Austin. They're super considerate on the noise level and I was able to sleep comfortably after work early. Living with Jessie and Michael felt natural to me even though I just met them. That's how easy going they were. Some words on the apartment itself: gorgeous. super spacious, large kitchen area, large shower tub, washer and dryer in unit, high ceilings, balcony area, and lots of sunshine entering into the bedroom and living room. It was a great place to live while working in Austin. You will feel relaxed here. "

2384045,23207038,2014-11-25,1904813,Willie,"Everything about the cabin was perfect.  Comfortable, cozy, and centrally located.  Gretchen was a fantastic host, stayed in contact with us and provided everything we needed to make our stay in Austin amazing. The cabin is made from reclaimed materials, lots of wood and it felt like a cabin in the mountains.  Some extras we liked were the patio where you could privately and quietly enjoy dinner or a glass of wine in the evenings, a piano in the living room (and I play) to serenade guests or have a sing-a-long!  Also a huge washer/dryer to get some laundry done before our next destination. This is a property I would definitely visit again as there is nothing else like it in the area. If you want a comfortable, relaxing stay close to the city, I highly recommend it!  Thanks Gretchen and Reza!  "
2384045,23299193,2014-11-28,6741627,Paula,"We felt warmly welcomed by our host Gretchen from the minute our family booked this idyllic cabin and found the experience to be even better than the beautiful posted pictures anticipated. We were looking for a venue where we could cook and host our annual Thanksgiving reunion, and the well-stocked kitchen did not disappoint. The large stove with gas burners and a griddle were more than perfect for the many side dishes that were each person's favorite and the huge table on the patio lit by twinkly lights made the festive meal magical. The extremely comfortable bed was welcome after a long day of cooking, eating (and, I'll admit it) drinking. The location is perfect, walking distance to cool cafes and coffeehouses and bike-able to just about everywhere. And the hosts were so thoughtful that they even brought over a few extra chairs knowing that they were would be needed for the holiday dinner. If I had any suggestion, it would be to have a step stool available to reach the very tall shelves. If there were 10 stars available. I would give them. "
2384045,28006869,2015-03-16,6300695,Jeordan,Gretchen and Reza's house was lovely. So comfy and everything decorated so tastefully. I enjoyed staying there very much. My favorite was having my coffee while watching the birds that would fly around the yard in the morning.

We used the well-stocked kitchen to make a few simple meals in between all our Austin dining adventures, and being able to do laundry in the house was a big help. I loved starting my day with a cup of coffee in the backyard, enjoying the sunshine and the birds!
Gretchen was available to check in with during our stay by text. I appreciated her availability. "

We especially loved sitting out in the backyard over morning coffee. The neighbourhood is beautiful and is easily accessible to both the airport and the rest of Austin. Gretchen and Reza were outstanding hosts. They were incredibly accommodating to our travel needs. They did everything conceivable to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Austin. As we were visiting for a wedding, we didn't get to fully explore all the places they suggested, but those we did really enhanced our trip.  We would return in a heartbeat. "

The house is small and quaint but very well equipped and was comfortable with our party of 3.  Great location: walkable to East 6th street bars and restaurants which were great. As someone who had never been to Austin before, the recommendations and restaurant reviews in the binder that Gretchen and Reza provided was also very helpful. Overall great experience. "

In fact my wife and I liked the house so much we made the decision to stay in one night and cook dinner as opposed to going out. The big shower with the tankless water heater is fantastic and access to Apple TV made it possible for us to watch Game of Thrones right after it aired, which was awesome.

I recommend this property highly and thank Gretchen and Reza for allowing us to use their beautiful home."
2384045,35319612,2015-06-17,6541331,Will,Absolutely perfect place in a rapidly changing neighborhood. Getting around was very easy with bikes and uber--it should get even easier when Austin expands its citybike program. One large bedroom and a large L shaped pullout couch. Gorgeous backyard. The place is every bit as good as the photos. My only regret is not using the claw foot tub.
2384045,35699065,2015-06-21,34604690,Susan,"This cabin was super cute, cozy, and very true to the photos. The eclectic cabin feel and huge windows to the quaint back yard made it very peaceful. We felt very welcome and Gretchen communicated very promptly to any messages I sent her before our stay (and probably would have responded quickly during our stay, though we didn't need anything!). Everything we needed was there! The neighborhood is transitional, or ""up and coming"", it looks like. The property itself felt very safe with an alarm and a fully fenced yard. It's super close to downtown, and there are cool places to eat really close by. We went to a bar called Whisler that also had a Thai fusion food truck- deliscious! We had a great stay!"
2384045,36395035,2015-06-28,7730487,Eliza,"Comal Cabin was as shown and described: a rustic & beautifully curated interior, with a wonderful outdoor covered seating area, perfect for coffee in the morning and cold beers in the evening. The bed was comfortable, the rainfall shower was a great asset after a run in the hot Austin sun, and the upright piano with piano teaching tabs provided more entertainment than anticipated. Comfortably slept four, the pullout couch worked very well.

Hosts were super accommodating, even letting us check in earlier since our flight came in before check in time. Everything was smooth, and they were always quick to respond if we had a question.

Location is a two minute drive or short walk from many wonderful shops & eateries. Particular favorites of ours were Quickie Pickie, and Micklethwait's Craft Meats food truck. A nice central location for many neighborhoods in Austin, with easy interstate access."
2384045,37985245,2015-07-12,8496340,David,"Our stay at the Comal Cabin was just about perfect. The cabin itself was comfortable and specious with a ton of charm and personality. The location was ideal... we were able to get around by bike with ease. Finally, Gretchen and Reza were excellent hosts. They left a binder with tons of resources, and provided lots of great tips via text. Sincerely hope to stay again!"
2384045,38545652,2015-07-16,5279226,Heather,We loved the cabin. Such a wonderful romantic getaway spot. Our hosts were responsive and super sweet. We can't wait to come back again soon!  
2384045,38883862,2015-07-19,11483097,Alex,Gretchen was very kind and welcoming. The place has a lot of charm and the bed is very very comfortable. It was very clean and Gretchen was nice enough to have coffee to make in the morning. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook and is a quick 5 min uber rider to downtown. 
2384045,40216260,2015-07-29,20630918,Daniel,Great cabin with lots of personality and it lived up to the photos. The location was great for the kinds of food and nightlife experiences we wanted from Austin. Will definitely try to stay here again the next time we visit.
2384045,40970694,2015-08-03,480572,Kirsten,"Gretchen and Reza were very communicative throughout our stay! There was beer and wine in the fridge awaiting us! The cabin was in a quite neighborhood, but close to really hip stuff! The Quickie Pickie, East Side Pies and Three Pigs were all fantastic! The cabin was an oasis, cool (literally and figuratively), sheets soft and totally hip! They shower is AMAZING.  I would highly recommend this cabin! Our 10 yo son stayed with us and he says to mention the AWESOME private backyard, great cable and comfy sofa bed!"
2384045,41361013,2015-08-07,5909034,Maria,"The pictures of the Comal Cabin don't even come close to how absolutely beautiful it is in person. Gretchen and Reza have poured love into every detail of their special getaway. Right from the start they were communicating with us so it was easy to reserve dates, get into house, and we felt very secure with simple to turn on/off alarm system. The cab ride was quick (20 mins or so) from the airport even during weekday early evening traffic. We spent only two nights but they were glorious. First night we did go out for dinner and drinks downtown and on 6th Street. Everything was very close by and took maybe 5-10 mins to get to in an Uber. Second night we brought dinner and wine back to house. We spent a lazy evening on comfy couch, played piano, and listened to music through their apple tv. It was a hot summer night so didn't take a bath in the lovely extra long claw foot bathtub but that just means we will have to go back again to use when it is cooler. The large shower with rainfall shower head was wonderful. The bed and pillows were just heavenly to sleep on. There was plenty of space in closet to hang our things. The neighborhood is very quiet so it was extremely easy to relax there. Basically, we LOVED staying at the Comal Cabin and would do so again. If you want to experience staying at a unique, comfortable, safe, and beautiful place in Austin book this place now!"
2384045,41812040,2015-08-09,38370081,Dana,"The cabin was great!  This was our first airbnb experience and we were very pleased.  Gretchen and Reza were extremely communicative and helpful.  They had yummy suggestions of places to eat.  They provided other helpful info, too.  The bed was comfy. The patio was very nice.  The birds eating and bathing were sweet.  This was our first airbnb experience and we were pleased with our complete privacy.  We were not interested in a shared space and this was more than what we expected.  We will be staying here again for sure!  Goods (greats) = linens, towels, shower products, water pressure, parking, cleanliness, privacy, TV, security system, morning sunlight deflection, ability to cook, closeness to downtown and fun, closeness to fun food, and more.  We ate at the Quickie Pickie and Blue Dahlia.  Were only there for a short weekend.  Would have enjoyed more time to explore their recommendations.  Also enjoyed staying in such an eco-friendly home.  Very intriguing.  Thanks G&R!"
2384045,42887983,2015-08-16,37847014,Austin,The cabin was great and check-in/out was easy. Good spot for a weekend get away. Easy access to downtown/highways. 
2384045,43789189,2015-08-22,18115384,Victoria,"This place was awesome! The house was made mostly of reclaimed wood and was beautiful. The features of the house are very unique and the house was spacious! We were super close to everything we wanted to see in Austin and literally blocks away from great food trucks, music bars, and Franklins! And minutes from downtown! Our hosts were so great throughout our planning experience. The neighborhood felt safe and the house was impeccably clean! We would definitely stay here again! "
2384045,44943674,2015-08-30,8841577,Lauren,"We had a fantastic stay at the Comal Cabin, I'd highly recommend it. The cabin has lovely handcrafted details, from the soaking tub to the vintage art to the twinkly lights in the backyard. The space is very unique, comfortable, and really added to our overall Austin experience. The location is great, easy to get downtown or to East 6th Street for live music, restaurants and bars. Gretchen & Reza were excellent hosts, very communicative and quick to respond to any questions. Hope to visit the cabin again soon! "
2384045,45966490,2015-09-07,39243543,Hannah,"Gretchen and Reza made our stay such a breeze! The back yard is absolutely breathtaking, as is the whole house!! Everything we needed for our stay was provided. The location was perfect for getting to SoCo, 6th and other fun spots downtown! Gretchen was so attentive and always quick to respond! I hope to visit the Comal Cabin again soon! "
2384045,46547252,2015-09-11,43099112,Jake,Highly recommend a stay at this quaint cabin.  Not only for the thoughtful use of reclaimed construction material and comfortable decor but the location was very close to some great Austin bars/restaurants yet still in a quiet neighborhood.  We also went to a few of their recommended restaurants and all were excellent and everything we expected.  Do yourself a favor and give Gretchen and Reza's place a try.
2384045,47000417,2015-09-14,8086734,Sandra,"The Comal Cabin was a great place to stay - it was clean, comfortable, unique, and interesting, with a lovely outdoor patio to sit at in the evening and thoughtful details.  Gretchen and Reza were easy to communicate with, and accommodated a last minute booking from us with ease.  The location is very nice - within ~25 minute walk of downtown, or a short uber ride.  A fantastic Austin experience!"
2384045,47676039,2015-09-21,12539684,Vanessa,"The Comal cabin is a beautiful and relaxing home. It was a great place for my parents to stay while they were in town for the weekend - served as the perfect meeting spot in center of Austin and the patio was great for hanging out in the evenings. Very close to downtown ($10 cab ride or maybe 20 min or so walk) and close to quirky East Austin. Parents said the bed was comfy, too."
2384045,48036511,2015-09-22,7498349,Erin,"My husband and I were in Austin for our travel website, Escape Brooklyn. We cover a lot of Airbnb properties and fell in love with this one. The cabin was really beautiful, airy and open; the neighborhood was quiet but walkable to everything we wanted to do. The hosts were super communicative and had a great little book of suggestions for guests. Would be thrilled to stay again!"
2384045,48700331,2015-09-28,19857148,Jenny,Gretchen and Reza were very quick and responsive.  The check in and out process was very easy too.  We loved the cabin!  It was so unique and had everything we needed.  It was also immaculately clean and located within a short drive to everything in Austin!  We enjoyed everything from playing the piano to the giant rainfall shower.   Thanks for hosting us!
2384045,49783742,2015-10-06,4316256,Lorenzo,"I really cannot overstate what a wonderful experience it was staying here. The home is beautiful. The layout, the finishings, the decor... you can tell it was all done with a lot of love and care. As good as it looks in the photos, it's better in person!

Gretchen and Reza are so friendly and responsive. The cabin was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Quiet and comfortable - especially the bed and pillows! I honestly have not one negative thing to say about our stay. If you're visiting Austin you should definitely consider the cabin."
2384045,50455031,2015-10-12,41405661,James,"What a wonderful place to stay in while in Austin! Gretchen and Reza are responsive and attentive hosts. The house is appointed thoughtfully and with attention to detail. It is in a great location relative to getting to things in downtown Austin, but with the benefits of being in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely consider the Comal cabin anytime we are in town. "
2384045,50885059,2015-10-15,13225386,Josh,"Great place to stay, very comfortable and convenient. About a mile to downtown and right in the heart of East Austin. Lots of very close, interesting places to eat. Would definitely stay again. I happened to bump into Gretchen upon arrival and she's lovely. Had a couple awesome suggestions. Quickie Pickie, a little market within walking distance with fantastic tacos and 21 beers on tap. My kind of place! Also, Barton Springs, which I agree, is not to be missed if you're in Austin. I'll definitely be back.
Thanks guys!"
2384045,51290191,2015-10-19,14450810,Karolina,"A beautiful, beautiful house that's perfect to relax in. Gretchen and Reza were so nice and it was a lovely experience. I'd definitely stay there again. Gorgeous backyard too. "
2384045,51735925,2015-10-24,27873025,John,"The house was beautiful, and I enjoyed my stay thoroughly. The attention to detail, coupled with the amenities was hard to believe in a smaller place such as this.

I felt like you could put this cabin anywhere in the world and feel at home in all seasons. It was close to great food and downtown where I needed to be for the convention, and honestly, I wish I had more days just to lounge around. 

If you want peace and quiet and have an appreciation for detail and comfortable design, this is your spot. Thanks again G&R!"
2384045,52407995,2015-10-29,32652026,Shane,"This house is absolutely perfect. It was private and comfortable with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The house is perfectly located if you would like a nice relaxing stay, with shops and the famous 6th street a short walk away. We had an amazing time thanks so much guys!"
2384045,53055942,2015-11-04,1863049,Mike,Love this place! Gretchen and Reza were ideal hosts as well. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
635732,1964600,2012-08-12,2861735,Paul,"Awesome little loft for a great price really close to everything downtown.

Gray and Judith are pure Austin and the house is an old Austin eclectic charmer. I spent my early mornings in the backyard patio looking out on the backyard pond watching the dogs (Grace and George) play. watching a giant red dragon fly moving from one plant on the pond to another, gently alighting and resting at each treasured spot in the mid day sun.

Super fast WiFi, welcoming rustic charm, wood floors, beautiful, quaint and quirky surroundings, two sweet short hair dogs and two wonderful hosts who will leave you alone or chat with you as per your needs. 

Need or want to cook? They have a great kitchen space and coffee and tea machines.

Both Gray and Judith have lived in Austin a long time and Gray at one of Austins more famous eateries. Both are very progressive liberals who recycle and compost and ascribe to liberal causes. My kind of peeps. 

"
635732,2182495,2012-09-03,1024366,Gretchen,"Gray and Jude were wonderful hosts.  They were open and friendly, and just all-around pleasant.  Jude was incredibly kind and generous, offering to give me a ride into town and driving me to chase down the Airport Flyer bus.  They were so kind!"
635732,2295280,2012-09-14,1386782,Carrie,"I had a great short stay with Gray and Judith who took me in at the last minute and were nothing but generous hosts. The house is full of character, the location is perfect for walking downtown, and they were happy to help me in any way I needed. I would definitely recommend including them in your Austin experience :) 
"
635732,2428376,2012-09-27,3302654,Marta,"A charming house with wonderful hosts! Judith and Gray were so friendly and helpful, that I felt quite at home:) This is a great place to stay if you plan to spend your weekend in Austin. It's really close to downtown so you can go for a walk instead of driving or taking a bus. I had a good time and definitely will go back if I have a chance:)"
635732,2491502,2012-10-02,2864721,Tobias,"I had a great 4 days in Austin at Gray and Judith's home. They are really helpful and easy going hosts, and the dogs are very sweet and well-behaved. 
the house is situated within walking distance to downtown, and right there in (what i consider to be) the best part of Austin: East Austin. 
Although you're sleeping in the an alcove in the lounge-room. it's a very quiet home and the hosts respect your space as you do theirs. 
highly recommended!"
635732,2523321,2012-10-06,1165579,Beth,"I had a great experience staying with Gray and Judith. They very much have a ""this is your house too"" mentality. Their house is very comfortable and their dogs are sweet. The loft area is small, but cozy. I slept well every night. In the morning, I had access to light breakfast foods and their coffee machine, which was great! The wifi is fast, important for me as a blogger, but currently there is no electrical outlet in the loft (they tell me one will be installed soon!). The location is probably a 20 - 30 minute walk to the downtown area, which is quite doable as long as the weather's nice. "
635732,2550894,2012-10-08,2277442,Jenny,"Gray and Judith were great, relaxed hosts. They picked me up from the train station, provided dinner advice, and were overall pleasant to chat with. The house is nice and big and cozy and I had a great stay. The loft is great if you don't plan to spend too much time at home and just need a quiet place to sleep. If you need lots of privacy it may not be for you. "
635732,2632303,2012-10-16,457976,Bellamy,Very accommodating and easy walk to great places on the east side. Be sure to check out Hillside Farmacy and of course Franklin BBQ nearby - worth the wait!
635732,2699424,2012-10-24,881983,Christian,Very sweet. Very accommodating. Mainly just slept there but I felt welcome regardless
635732,2800982,2012-11-04,166929,Josh,"I had a great stay in Austin thanks to Gray and Jude. Their space was comfortable, homey, and just as advertised. I was also lucky enough to be treated to a couple of home-cooked breakfasts. Even though the loft is in a shared space, I had a lot of privacy and time to myself. In a city like Austin, there's a ton of fun stuff to keep you occupied within walking distance, so if you're looking for a place to rest your head as you explore the city, look no further. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your home during this trip. "
635732,2901870,2012-11-17,2676866,John,"Great place. Gray and Judith are very cool, friendly and interesting people. The house is beautiful, with tons of character. The ceiling in the living room is so high that the loft actually feels quite private and cozy. "
635732,3001883,2012-12-01,1292652,Svetlana,"Lovely hosts + character and cosy place conveniently located to anywhere + fast wi-fi + Nespresso machine + friendly dogs = my TOP AirBNB experience so far! Thank you so much, Gray and Judith!"
635732,3034265,2012-12-05,4302845,Ariel,"Very enjoyable stay, Gray and Judith are very nice and respectful.  Great coffee in the morning!"
635732,3088451,2012-12-14,4218897,Adam,"Gray and Jude were great hosts. Very hospitable, respectful and had plenty of suggestions for awesome things to do in Austin. Their dogs are lovely as well. Loved staying there. "
635732,3354624,2013-01-15,268466,Gabriella,"Gray & Judith & Grace & George were a joy to meet and I'm thankful to them for sharing their home with me. Safe and convenient location, cozy and friendly home, adorable dogs, and very interesting and genuinely nice people. Thank you!"
635732,3388807,2013-01-21,4652151,Chris,I found out pretty late about an event in Austin and decided to use airbnb service for the first time; and I couldn't be happier with my first experience.    Gray and Jude are wonderful hosts.  They are very friendly and accommodating.  Location is excellent as it's walking distance to downtown Austin.    
635732,3520673,2013-02-11,2163730,Anna,"Gray and Jude were fantastic hosts.  They were welcoming and very helpful, giving us great advice on how to best see Austin in just a day.  We also absolutely loved their dogs, George and Grace!  The loft was comfortable, surprisingly spacious, and in a fantastic location.  I'd highly recommend it to anyone."
635732,3571277,2013-02-18,4810913,Catriona,"I had a lovely stay with Gray and Jude while in Austin. They were very welcoming and while I didn't see Gray much due to our opposite schedules, Jude was always happy to have a chat and was full of useful information about Austin. The house's location is great as you can comfortably walk around the East side or cross the highway to the Capital and areas such as W6th St. I would definitely recommend this house to other travellers looking for a homey and relaxed place to stay!"
635732,3606476,2013-02-22,5054834,Zita,"Gray and Jude were quite the hosts - helpful and full of practical tips, suggestions and information about the area - and incredibly friendly. We stuffed up our arrival times and they were very flexible. The house is really conveniently located - an easy walk to the top of the city and down to the east side bars, as well as being really clean and cosy. We were in the loft and for two people that was fine and despite it being in the lounge room I didn't feel that there was a lack of privacy. And the dogs are great too!. I would definitely come back!"
635732,3697347,2013-03-05,1578197,Jesse,"Gray and Jude are very sweet and generous! They give tons of great info (and history!) about Austin and they treat you like friends visiting from out of town. Awesome.

The loft bed is a great deal. Important to know that it's at the center of the house so you hear everything. If you're a light sleeper, you may not sleep much."
635732,3717510,2013-03-07,2563107,Matthew,Easy to communicate with and the place was perfect as a guy just in town for a conference. Very nice and well prepared host.
635732,3783717,2013-03-14,1265107,Juan Manuel,"Gray´s & Jude place is close enough to walk downtown (around 12 minutes). It was a good experience and Gray and Judy were very friendly and hospitable. 

Gray was very kind letting me get the room earlier, because my flight changed. That was very nice!

I felt very comfortable staying there. 

Comments:
- This room is not a ""room"", is an small attic. The bed is ok. But you cannot be standing there. Getting your clothes on and off from a bag takes a little bit of effort.
- If you carry a medium / big bag it´s hard to move it up there and there´s no enough space in the attic for a medium/big bag
- If you are not a doggy person...Gray´s dogs are extremely friendly. Extremely... they´ll come to you all the time. They might get into the house around 8 AM for breakfast so be prepared to hear them playing around.
- Getting up and down of the attic must be done carefully. It´s a steep climb to the attic for non-athletic people.
- The place is perfect if you´re attending to the convention center or downtown.
- The house is a quite place to stay
- Coffee was great ;)"
635732,3812872,2013-03-18,3619938,Tobias,"Exactly as advertised. Very close to downtown Austin. Sweet dogs, fast wifi. Felt very welcome. Would recommend to others and would definitely stay again."
635732,4124145,2013-04-12,1382032,Alan,"Gray and Jude were wonderful hosts and their house is great. It was just a 5 minute walk to the Sheraton, where the conference I was attending was taking place. It was about another 5 minutes to walk to 6th Street and Austin's music scene.
The house is comfortable and charming and I was definitely made to feel at home. While at the house, it's easy to forget that you're pretty much in the middle of all that's happening in Austin. It's a very relaxing atmosphere. George and Gracie, the resident pups, are super friendly and were wonderful company.
If I get back to Austin, this will be my first choice for lodging."
635732,4175789,2013-04-15,5709112,Corbi,"My girls ages 15 and 18 slept in the loft area of Grays house.  They loved having their own space up and away from everything, but they could come down and join in when they were ready to wake up(teenagers like to sleep late!!)  The bed was very comfortable, and we would gladly rent again."
635732,4252853,2013-04-22,5628955,Dan,A convenient location and friendly hosts. I walked to some great cafes and food vans and walked into downtown or caught nearby busses. It is a shared space so I slept with earplugs at night and had no worries about any noise. The dogs are really friendly!
635732,4294725,2013-04-25,5819628,Zoe,Gray and Jude were lovely hosts. I stayed in their loft above their living room. It was nice to have my own personal space for such a great deal. I enjoyed eating breakfast outside in the Austin sun and playing with their two dogs George and Gracy. I highly recommed staying with Gray and Jude.
635732,4400767,2013-05-02,5777941,Kristine Joy,"Staying with Gray and Jude is a wonderful Austin experience. The loft is cozy, yet private enough, and overlooks an eclectic living space. The weather was perfect for the yard. Gray insisted to treat the place as if it were my own and I had a lovely evening 'hosting' a local friend in Gray and Jude's screened back porch. Jude was full of interesting stories while also being respectful of my space. Great find! "
635732,4636759,2013-05-17,672792,Cliff,"Gray and Jude are great hosts, and their lovely house and delightful dogs made my stay in Austin so much more enjoyable. 

The loft itself is roomy, the garden and pond in the back are relaxing; the bathroom facilities clean and well kept; the walk to town and campus only 20-30 minutes, the walk to the bars and restaurants on East 6th and on Manor just as convenient. 

Gray and Jude are just warm and welcoming, too: the perfect hosts, they are available to chat when you want, and also give you plenty of space when you need it. "
635732,5036932,2013-06-09,113569,Jeffrey,"Gray and Jude were very friendly and accommodating, and their place is inviting and cozy. It was easy to come and go as needed, with a short walk over the highway via an overpass, or to the next block to catch a bus downtown. The loft space wasn't much bigger than the bed, but was a comfortable place to rest. I appreciated the hangers and stair-shelves. Be warned that the ladder to the loft is a bit steep in case you aren't agile. The dogs (who very much want some love) leave some hair and soil on the floor. Overall a great value."
635732,5234326,2013-06-19,6664324,Evan,"Stayed with Gray and Judith for a week, and it was a very good experience overall!

price per night was really reasonable for being so close to the downtown area (if I remember right, 10 minutes to Stubbs and 15 to 6th street bars walking, and close to CVS before you even cross the highway-- I rented a bike after the first day though, kind of more conducive to covering ground in Austin). They had a Keurig machine and a nice outdoors/patio area, and awesome dogs -- Grace and George. Big awesome dogs. 

The bed was just above the living room, with a curtain for privacy, and a fan to keep heat down, but as someone else reviewed, you do sort of have to change your clothes in the horizontal unless you use the bathroom and if things are going on, you can hear them. Luckily, once I'm asleep I'm a heavy sleeper and Gray and Judith were really quiet; and Gray wasn't home a large part of the time.

Only downsides I can think of is that I thought it was going to be in an upstairs room not like a bunk but I guess I misinterpreted the pictures more than anything, and they have a bike (and offer a U-lock gratis still) BUT the bike is not working so I had to use a rental bike service in town. If I were them, I'd just update that in the description. 

Also, another plus, I never really used it but Gray has electronics galore: Apple TV, an Internet radio stereo, an iPod touch to control the Philips lights, and other gadgets spread throughout. Really made it more cool! 

Ah, and to corroborate, the internet/wifi is indeed FAST. Which made everything better to boot. And the shower is hot, its a standing shower in a bathroom near the kitchen and Gray's room. Very spacious. 

And feel free to ask Gray and Judith for some recommendations on what to do, they have maps to help guide your way if you aren't tech inclined or run low on battery often. "
635732,7913197,2013-10-08,6845963,Liam,I stayed at Gray's place for the ACL Festival which worked out perfect. I hired a bike and was able to get everywhere I wanted to go and the house is great for lazing around when I wanted some time out. The loft had everything I needed and was cheap!
635732,8357080,2013-10-27,8654856,Jaromy,"Gray is a great host - friendly, kind, helpful, and communicative. He had great recommendations for places to eat, walk, and neighborhoods to check out. The house is very charming and cozy, and it is very centrally located which makes it super convenient. Overall, a very pleasant stay!"
635732,10256164,2014-02-09,12001467,Michael,Jude was very nice. As were George and Gracie. I highly recommend.
635732,10402713,2014-02-17,11964105,Miranda,"Unfortunately, I didn't get the opportunity to meet Gray during my stay.  However, Jude was extremely accommodating during my entire visit.  She was very sociable and able to offer great recommendations for things in the area.  The loft space was the perfect spot to retire--not too big, but not cramped either.  The bathroom is actually a wet room (which was pretty cool), but there is also a smaller bathroom with a tub right below the loft.  Overall, I had a great experience here!"
635732,10784236,2014-03-07,12302104,Anna,"I really enjoyed my stay at Gray and Jude's place. They were really considerate - it was clear they prioritized the quality of my stay above everything else. I appreciated that. Some things about the house was different than what I experienced in a typical house, e.g., the loft and the shower, but they all added rather than take away from a comfortable, interesting stay there. I am a dog lover so really liked having George and Gracie there. "
635732,11226806,2014-03-25,12828870,Casey,"I had a fantastic stay here! Gray and Judith have an extremely comfortable and inviting home. If you're traveling solo in Austin and need a place to stay, you will not find a better value. The loft was clean and comfortable; if you can get over changing in the bathroom and not having the a ton of privacy, you'll have absolutely no problems. The house is in a great location -- you're a ten minute walk from downtown and from campus. Everyone was very nice and welcoming (including the dogs!); Judith even waited up for me until midnight when my flight into town got delayed. There was fresh fruit and breakfast every morning, and tons of cool gadgets to fuss with that I didn't even know existed (Hue = Awesome). I would highly recommend!"
635732,11383534,2014-03-31,13483552,Alex,"I was fortunate enough to stay with Gray and Jude. Although I didn't see Gray much during my stay, both were excellent hosts. The loft was clean and comfy and the bathrooms were nice and tidy. Highly recommend this place to anyone!"
635732,11597450,2014-04-08,13369988,Louise,"Gray and Jud are really great hosts who know how to make you feel comfortable. I was sleeping on the mezzanine which is pretty convenient, nicely set although not very intimate but for a single person it is ideal. The location is splendid and the neighborhood is great with a small supermarket quickly picky not far away, as well as nice bars and restaurants on 12th street. The breakfast was super nice with lots of good fruits and plenty of cereals or toasted bread. I was three for work and the veranda was ideal to work when it was dark. I strongly recommend this place."
635732,11631287,2014-04-09,9917486,Emanuel,"I had a great stay at Gray´s House, his wife helped me to find a shuttle at midnight and she was so nice with me. My dorm was great and the house it was near of everthing. I really liked Gray´s house!
Thanks Jude and Gray for letting me be at your place! I strongly recommend their home in Austin!!! And I will tell my friends to stay there if they have the chance!
 See you!"
635732,11784028,2014-04-14,14129166,Brent,"What a wonderful place to stay.  The house is very peaceful and just up the road from 6th Street.  The neighborhood is quiet and safe.  Gray and Judith were very friendly and very helpful in getting me settled in.  I was travelling solo on a motorcycle and it was a perfect space to lay my head after a day of riding the beautiful roads around Austin.  Also, the dogs are wonderful.  Very sweet and very well-behaved.  "
635732,12250243,2014-04-27,13844250,Eva,Just perfect! Thanks!
635732,13332873,2014-05-25,13750735,Paul,Had a great time staying at this charming home. Gray and Jude were very hospitable. Coffee and breakfast were provided and I was able to spend some quality porch sittin' out front. It's very close to downtown-in fact it was an easy walk to 6th street. I felt very comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin. 
635732,13460792,2014-05-27,15908253,Bernhard,Cozy home with a friendly atmosphere situated close to the center. The host is friendly and helpful. Definitely a recommendation!
635732,13555054,2014-05-30,172685,Harold,"Since Gray was gone most of the time, Judith filled in as an excellent host: friendly, flexible and informative. The location allowed me to easily walk to museums and the 6th Street scene. Every morning on their back porch, I sipped coffee, listened to birds and gave thanks for the chance to bnb in this wonderfully “hippyish” place. "
635732,13921505,2014-06-08,10255638,Ariel,"First AirBnB experience and it was really great. The neighborhood was just fine and I came in most of the nights between 11pm-1am. You don't see too many people on the streets but it's the states, so that's more or less normal. The loft was exactly as described, worked perfectly for me. Nice shower and well equipped kitchen with nice options for breakfast. I only saw gray the first day very briefly but spent a few mornings with Judith and both were very friendly."
635732,15283696,2014-07-06,17133171,Ricardo,"Besides being very accurate in his description and pictures, Gray is also friendly, helpful, an excellent host and a very good chat. His 2 dogs are lovely and very sweet!
Location is quiet and 5 minute bike ride to the city center. The only downside for me was that smoking in his yard is not allowed, as I would have enjoyed smoking in his lovely yard! :)"
635732,15453521,2014-07-09,439135,Jennifer,"This listing was exactly as described and in the pictures! I stayed in the loft space which was perfect for just me on my short (3 might) trip! Gray is a great host and the two dogs are very friendly. Towels were provided (which made packing for the trip even lighter!), and laundry and breakfast were available if I needed them. The loft space felt private with the curtain, and the neighborhood is very quiet day and night, so sleeping was easy. The neighborhood is so close to downtown shops, restaurants and bars, which was great for me as I don't drive. I would stay here again. "
635732,15727729,2014-07-14,3635565,Debra,I had the best experience staying with Gray and his partner.  They were both so friendly and welcoming towards me.  The loft was exactly as described and in a great location if you want to hang out in cool East Austin.  I have been to Austin a few times and have not spent time in this part of town but just loved it.  You are close to all of the cool places on east 6th street and walking distance from the captial and UT.  Their dogs are very sweet and well behavied.  I cannot say enough about it.  I would highly recommended staying with them.  
635732,16237749,2014-07-23,13205009,Tim,"Gray is the man, and the stay was great.  Welcoming, hospitable and two cool dogs that we're happy to see me as well.  It's a small loft, but comfortable and they let me use their washer and dryer.  Great deal and a lovely stay. "
635732,16802110,2014-08-02,12144452,Henda-Alexandre,"Everything was perfect , thx Gray!"
635732,17315594,2014-08-10,19198986,Joshua,"Gray was a great host. He was very friendly and welcoming. He was very informative about the city and the neighborhood and answered any questions I had. He provided above and beyond hospitality throughout my entire stay. The neighborhood was in a great location, walking distance to downtown and bus stops. I felt very safe coming in late and it was a great area for running. Also, when I got into a pickle Gray was more than happy to help out. I'd definitely recommend Gray's home if you're visiting Austin!"
635732,17900669,2014-08-18,19826556,Diana,"Gray and Tom are plain simple amazing hosts!
The place is neat, clean towels, sheets, good tea and coffee but even more important good people :)
Recommended 100%"
635732,18263812,2014-08-24,13010966,Alden,"It was my first time visiting Austin and it was an amazing trip! Gray and Tom are such great people. They were incredible hosts and very welcoming. The place was a short walk to Franklin's and East 6th so its very convenient. Gray and Tom were very accommodating and knowledgeable with all my questions about Austin. Great clean place, nice fresh sheets and towels, and  they also have two of the most cuddly dogs I have ever met. I will recommend this place for sure! Thanks Gray and Tom!  "
635732,18639294,2014-08-29,17525378,Juan,"Gray was an excellent host. He was really friendly, and when I asked for directions he was really helpful and detailed.
The location and provisions of the house were perfect for my stay in Austin, and I never had any issues finding my way from the house to downtown or elsewhere. Additionally, it's only a few blocks from the #1 bbq joint in Texas!
I only wish I could have stayed longer, and made more use of Gray's knowledge of Austin!

I would definitely stay here again."
635732,19167847,2014-09-07,10549710,Lucas,"The place has an amazing feel to it, it's located very close to downtown and there are some amazing places to eat in the area. All in all I felt very comfortable staying here and Gray was a wonderful host, giving me all kinds off directions and even offering me a ride!  If I make it back to Austin, I'd love to stay here again!"
635732,19989806,2014-09-21,21453323,Scott,"Had a great time in Austin, and glad I was able to procure this affordable loft situation. I was greeted by David at the house who showed me around, who was super friendly. After that meeting, though, I spent most of each day out of the house and never ran into anyone else. Everything I needed was provided, though (shower, towel, cereal, code to open the door, wifi, etc), so I was taken care of.

The actual loft space is pretty small. You can't stand up in it, so I typically changed in the bathroom. There's no door, just a curtain between you and the living room. The ladder is a bit of a challenge for bringing up much luggage. It does the job, though, and was very affordable. Thanks!"
635732,20261201,2014-09-26,6217666,Sebastian,"Didn't get to meet Jude, but her housemate David was super lovely and accommodating. The house is bursting with character and the location was fantastic. Would recommend!"
635732,20344052,2014-09-28,19591672,Wilfrido,"description was just as described. hosts were extremely accommodating as i ended up arriving 2 hours later than originally expected but still had someone awaiting for me once i arrived. the den, while somewhat open, maintains good privacy. 
neighborhood is quiet, but very close to downtown austin
overall, highly recommend both david and jude and will stay with them next time i'm in austin for sure.
"
635732,20947055,2014-10-08,3639653,Jennifer,"Jude's home was very comfortable and easy to find. It's located in a quiet neighbourhood, a short walk to downtown. Jude made me feel right at home and was very accommodating. David was also very courteous and helpful to get me settled in after my red-eye flight and on the day I left Austin. Really nice and helpful folks. The sleeping space itself was a little smaller than I thought it would be, but overall a nice place to stay for the price. The kitchen, the living room and the outside areas are also available for use, and I had some friends in for their first night in Austin. It was nice to have a place for them to come and socialize. Everything was clean, there was plenty of breakfast food and coffee in the morning, and overall the houses is quiet. I would highly recommend Jude's place for a short term stay, if not for the location and price alone. A great find close to the heart of Austin."
635732,21049779,2014-10-10,20626869,Milan,"I do not write reviews, but I will make an exception here. I had a wonderful time, Jude is an experienced and most helpful host, and a great cook (home-made soups, burgers, fish, brownies). The place feels like home, it is old-school kind of Texas-style home-hotel, a warm and kind place. Very close to everything, walking distance, trust me on that. For me: five stars out of five!"
635732,21124105,2014-10-12,18265826,Madeline,"Jude was so great! We loved how nicely everything was set up and ready for our arrival. There was always food in the kitchen, fresh linens and towels, and a great doggy, Gracie, to play with! Jude was the perfect host and was always available for any questions we had."
635732,21506670,2014-10-19,16957354,Lawrence,"This was my first time in Austin, TX, and Jude was an amazing host that helped ensure that I had a fantastic experience. The house was everything that was written up to be. It was full of character, warm, working amenities (fast WiFi, washer and dryer, hot showers, etc.), and conveniently located from downtown (just two blocks from Franklin BBQ!) - I pretty much walked or biked everywhere (6th St., SoCo, UT campus, Barton Springs). Its also just 15-20mins from the airport. There is a large, very green backyard with a pond full of fish and turtles that you can hang out at and decompress. I stayed in the lofted area and slept comfortably every night. 

Jude was more than happy to give me suggestions to places to eat and things to do (the lowdown on what's a tourist trap and what isn't). She's also a great cook! Oh, and her dog, Grace, was such a friendly dog! Not really a dog person? Don't worry - Grace is quiet and keeps to himself, unless you want to play.

I was very comfortable during my stay and would highly recommend it to others who are friendly and looking for something different outside of the cold, chemical-filled, corporate hotels. I got along very well with my other housemates. I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Austin!"
635732,22467034,2014-11-07,22730164,Steven,Jude was very gracious. Cool spot. the loft was small. But didn't he trick. nice quiet home. I recommend it.
635732,22530104,2014-11-09,21924128,Sara,"We had such a lovely and unique experience! When I think back on my trip to Austin, one of the most vibrant memories will be our stay in Jude's loft! It was a lovely walk to and from downtown, and the house was RICH in character and history- there was even pineapple upside down cake! Jude, David (and Gracie the boy dog & Karl Marx the red slider turtle) were all very accommodating and the other house guests as well...such great vibes all around! "
635732,23024770,2014-11-20,2961367,Gary,"Jude and David were lovely. I got in late and Jude made sure everything was arranged, I had plenty of privacy and still able to have great conversations with them. The house is very close (walking distance) to downtown, and its a friendly neighbourhood. "
635732,23270863,2014-11-27,2613332,Rachel,My mom -- Jude's place was booked on her behalf -- really enjoyed her stay at Jude's place. Jude and David are friendly and helped my mom feel at home. Apparently the conversations are never-ending. I've met them personally and they are lovely people. 
635732,23369959,2014-11-30,22336474,Lacey,Jude was really sweet and helped me find what I needed in Austin as soon as I got in. Having only been there a couple of times she made me feel welcome. The few blocks around the house felt a little sketchy but once I got to her house all seemed well. You're literally three or four blocks from downtown which was awesome.
635732,23944983,2014-12-15,22775239,John,"Jude and I spent a few moments getting acquainted upon my arrival. We had tons to talk about and sure we could have stayed up to the wee hours of the morning chatting. 

Bananas, apples, snacks, an array of teas and coffee in kitchen for the morning was excellent starters to my day. "
635732,24836271,2015-01-03,6250996,Nadir,"My staying at Jude's house was just perfect.
Because of the Christmas' holidays Jude wasn't there but David was a perfect host.
The neighborhood is quiet and close to most of Austin's attractions (Capitol, 6th street, Congress...), the house is nice and cosy and the backyard seems to be the perfect place for spring or summer's evenings.
Thanks a lot Jude and David, sure I will contact you for my next stay in Austin."
635732,25152461,2015-01-07,7578202,Robert,"Jude and her housemates made me feel extremely welcome from the minute I arrived in Austin. Her house is beautiful and unique, a real cozy, homey atmosphere. I liked the loft space very much. She was very helpful, giving me information and history about the city, and suggesting day trips in the surrounding area. I was able to come and go as I pleased, but I was also invited to stay for dinner whenever I wanted. I would definitely with Jude again, and I feel like I made a friend during my stay!"
635732,25257467,2015-01-10,25715368,Andrew,"This was my first trip to Austin and Jude and David helped me feel right at home. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood with parking right out front, just blocks from the Capital and UT. Also, just a 10-15 minute walk to the hustle and bustle of 6th street. The house is clean and Gracie the dog is super friendly. The door has a combination entry system and Jude made sure to send me the code before I arrived. She was very responsive and welcoming and I would highly recommend her as a host."
635732,26563637,2015-02-15,2403029,Elias,"The loft-room is very cozy and it was a surprisingly comfortable place to sleep. The house is located very close to Franklin BBQ which turned out great for me. Jude was very friendly and offered cookies upon arrival, and coffee/tea in the morning. Perfect for one person passing by Austin."
635732,26916250,2015-02-22,4351398,Emily,"Jude is the most welcoming AirBnB host I've had yet. She included me in some small events she hosted at the house, and was incredibly generous. Jude's roommates, Dennis and David, were also very friendly and welcoming. Gracie the dog is handsome, gentle, and full of love. The sleeping arrangements were as advertised, and Jude was really proactive about asking for ways to improve the space as well. The neighbourhood itself is very nice, and it is right next to U Texas at Austin (which was perfect for my needs). The only inconvenience in the neighbourhood was the motorway, but once I knew my way around it wasn't a big deal. "
635732,27400130,2015-03-03,12403692,Robert,I was just passing through Austin but I was able to feel at home. I would recommend.
635732,27738484,2015-03-10,20559850,Domenick,"Jude and Dennis are gracious, welcoming, and truly wonderful people to be around.  I instantly felt at home, which was only amplified by the loving and gentle nature of Gracie the dog.  The conversations were engaging and all of Jude's recommendations were on point.  The loft space is cozy, comfortable, and clean.  I found the bed very comfortable and easy to sleep on.  My stay in Austin was exciting, but Jude and Dennis made it truly memorable.  Highly recommended. "
635732,27812146,2015-03-12,559867,Amine,Jude and Dennis were very welcoming. Had a lot of fun in Austin . Thanks a lot !
635732,28066578,2015-03-17,4603163,Jenni,"Jude has been an awesome host. I arrived very late at night, so everybody was sleeping already, but light led me to my cozy sleepingplace above the living room and there was a note with all the details.
You can easily walk downtown, the neighborhood is quiet and friendly."
635732,28295228,2015-03-22,1564209,Matthew,"This is a great place, especially if you like being surrounded by books. It's close enough to downtown that you can easily walk but there are some good food options just a few blocks away as well. Jude is *super* accommodating and she and her roomie Dennis have a charming ""Odd Couple"" rapport. The included breakfast is a nice perk, and they provide lots of healthy options."
635732,28515104,2015-03-25,5594528,Emily,"I was very happy with every part of my experience staying at Jude's home. The location was a 10 minute walk from a conference I was attending, and close to lots if restaurants and attractions. The neighborhood was quiet, and the accommodations were very comfy. Jude was away when I visited, but David was a great host and I had no trouble finding everything I needed."
635732,28876150,2015-03-31,56642,Keith,"Jude wasn't around while I was there, but it's a very comfortable bed in a location with many options in walking distance. The ladder is quite precarious and it could be difficult if you have larger bags, but I found it adequate for a short stay. "
635732,31777808,2015-05-10,5120714,Bill,"I was drawn to this house because of its proximity to Bcycle and Franklin Barbecue, but I fell in love with the house and my hostess--though I never got to meet her! The loft is a cozy little hide-away space above the living room in a quirky, lovely old house in East Austin. If you like having a hide-away sanctuary, this is for you. If you want a big hotel-like room, or if you'd have trouble carrying your stuff up a ladder, this might not be your thing. I was quite happy. The back porch/yard is a lovely place for dining/reading/working Al fresco."
635732,45211878,2015-08-31,11429231,Laura,"Jasmine and Vivian were so welcoming! My cousin and I felt right at home staying at Jude's place with them.  

Jasmine is a great cook and baker--the best challah french toast and banana muffins were for breakfast along with an endless supply of coffee. Our loft was super comfortable (thank you Vivian for not minding us sleeping in your play area!). A quick bike ride (5-10 min) or walk (15) to downtown was a fast commute. 

Vivian is the most adorable and smartest kid to hang out with, and Jasmine is fun, down-to-earth, and all around a really great person to talk to! We loved staying here and being a part of their environment in Austin.

Would definitely book their place again! "
635732,49466994,2015-10-04,20116146,Kelly,"The hostess is wonderful! She makes sure everything is welcoming and clean. She has a vibrant personality. Everything was better than I hoped. This is my first Air B N B experience and it couldn't be better!  I enjoyed meeting new people. The loft was cozy and had room for my clothes. It was just right for my brief stay. The loft was, in fact so comfortable as to make me want to lounge around napping like a cat in it all day.  I felt safe and happy. The location is ideal to getting around Austin. I simply rented a city bike as well as walked to Zilker Park for ACL and was fine. I also rented from a bike taxi on the way back at night. I could not ask for a better first AIR BNB experience. Thank you for everything! "
635732,49794266,2015-10-06,2087723,Rustam,"Unfortunately I did not get a chance to meet the host but I found the house clean and neat and she left me some food on the kitchen table as well. The loft lacks privacy but is fine if you just want to crash for the night like myself. 
On the whole a good experience."
635732,50049842,2015-10-08,11632928,Courtney,"Jasmine was my host in Jude's stead and she was great! She was really fun to chat with and made delicious muffins! This was my first experience with Airbnb and Jasmine made it a stess free one. She allowed me to check in early and check out late which was awesome! I stayed in the loft above the bathroom just off the living room and it was super comfortable. I was afraid I would be hot up there but the AC and fan made it not so. The free slippers they provide for their guests is a thoughtful touch, I enjoyed lounging around in those and drinking tea. Jude's house is very eclectic and cozy and great for anyone who needs access to a full kitchen. "
635732,50461416,2015-10-12,40038950,Thabata," As my first ever experience using Airbnb, it will forever be a memorable one! Jasmine was so inviting and so laid back, which made for some awesome conversations! And Vivian is probably one of the smartest kids I know! (You're going to make an awesome engineer Viv!!)  I also got to meet Denise while I was there, who was also extremely helpful and very nice! And of course, Gracie was more than happy to bask in the attention he gave you, (unless Vivian was there, she takes precedence lol.) Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience using Airbnb! I've made some friends for life and next time I'm in Austin I will definitely be coming back!! "
635732,51143979,2015-10-18,43360655,Ally,"Jasmine and her daughter made us feel very welcome! Great location, we could walk everywhere from the house. Enjoyed staying in the loft and would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Austin experience! "
635732,51856745,2015-10-24,46970573,Alec,"Jasmine was awesome! She treated us like family and her charisma made us instantly become friends with her. We'd definitely stay here again. In fact, we're reconnecting with Jasmine in general when we come back to Austin. As far as the house goes, it was clean and very unique. Lots of artifacts from all over the world hanging on the walls. Huge shower room which is a blast to take a hot relaxing shower in. Loft was cozy. Oh, and did I mention the host bakes goodies for you and is a coffee enthusiast?"
635732,51900743,2015-10-25,42057280,Stephen,"Wonderful area, 20 min walk from anything you'd want to do downtown or around UT. "
5506227,28179835,2015-03-19,10414796,Phoebe,"Abbie was great - the house was clean, great location and she was really helpful with any questions. Thanks again!"
5506227,28335870,2015-03-22,28663876,Andrew,"Perfect location, place was very clean and had everything we needed to accommodate our stay. Host was great also, wouldn't mind renting this location again."
5506227,32415091,2015-05-17,32641663,Dwayne,Clean off campus student living apartment. Just as described and as clean as it is in the picture. I  didn't  meet Abbie personally but she was very nice and responsive via text. I  would definitely stay here again.
5506227,32992299,2015-05-24,18626712,Sheila,Abbie's place is so lovely and comfortable. It's a pleasant experience. Her cat is friendly. Wish I can meet Abbie when I go to Austin in the future.
5506227,34382370,2015-06-07,27182635,Alice,"The place was exactly as described, so clean, close to buses and great food. Everything we needed for cooking, private bathroom and best of all a cuddly cat named Justice! Abbie was extremely quick to respond and extremely friendly! Even though we came at an odd hour she arranged everything so we could go straight to bed. We would defiantly stay here again! :) "
5506227,34880844,2015-06-13,12533737,Tim,Clean and well-managed apartment. Abbie quickly responded if we had any questions and gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do. Couldn't have asked for much more. 
5506227,35184538,2015-06-15,34834794,Jacqueline,"Awesome place to stay! It is clean, comfortable, sweet and close to where you wanna be in Austin. We would definitely stay here again! "
5506227,36326873,2015-06-27,35487467,Gregory,Listing is very true to its description. If your looking for a nice private place in Austin to stay look no further. Was very quiet and the private bath inside the room was very convenient. Over all very good Place to stay in austin.
5506227,37212904,2015-07-05,35921106,Yamy,"The apartment is so good, it's clean and quiet.And it's close to the downtown and airport.But it's a pity that we got no chance to see Abbie."
5506227,39155193,2015-07-21,31239110,Hernan,"Abbie estuvo muy atenta a mis preguntas sobre el uso del wi-fi y lavar mi ropa. El apartamento es tal y como ella lo describe en el anuncio, muy cómodo, ventilado, y cerca a las paradas de buses. "
5506227,39577740,2015-07-24,27238365,Lydia,"Great location, very clean place. Abbie was very friendly and helpful! "
5506227,39874848,2015-07-26,30933125,Adam,Great spot! Communication with Abbie was easy and clear. The apartment was an quick cab/Uber away from downtown Austin.
5506227,40825027,2015-08-02,39138610,Chad,"Great location for us.  Nice to have a separate side of the room by ourselves. 
Thanks"
5506227,42949775,2015-08-16,38119182,Melissa,Abbie made me feel very welcome and arranged everything convientily. The complex was very safe and quiet. 
5506227,44440633,2015-08-26,38565112,Cindy,"This place was great! Having your own private bathroom is the best. We also had a great time hanging out with Abbie, and felt at home."
5506227,44861439,2015-08-29,20861023,Thomas,"Private bedroom with attached bathroom.  It was like my own little hotel room.  Communication with Abbie was prompt and friendly via text, though I never actually met her in person.  I would recommend this place to others."
5506227,45622454,2015-09-04,33943667,Yelilis,"Abbie is such a good host, her place is cozy and amenable and also it has a good location! I would totally recommend her as a host!"
5506227,46007196,2015-09-07,41424517,Jared,"Great room at a great price!  Abbie was a gracious host, the bedroom and bathroom were well-appointed and clean, and overall was what exactly what we were looking for.  We noticed several little touches that went above-and-beyond: extra towels, basic toiletries, and even maps and tourism booklets left on the nightstand!"
5506227,47093260,2015-09-15,36526483,Paul,Abbie was a great host. Her place was just amazing and I had everything I needed for a great stay.  Thanks so much Abbie!
5506227,47814834,2015-09-21,43522446,Andrew,"Everything about our stay was fantastic.  Our hosts were great and have obviously done this a few times before, so the whole experience went very smoothly.  "
5506227,49444891,2015-10-04,11020736,Robert,"Abbies' place was great. Private, quiet and clean. It was all I needed. Short uber trip into downtown. Good experience for sure. "
5506227,49994477,2015-10-08,37412197,Matej,Abbie was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome at her place. The room and bath were great and clean and accurate to the description. I would stay at Abbie's again!
5506227,50890071,2015-10-15,32779001,Rebecca,"When I arrived from the airport pretty late in the night, my hosts were kind enough to have given me detailed text instructions on getting to their apartment and settling in. Not only were there extra toiletry items and the cutest decorations in my room and bathroom, they had a binder full of information about getting around town, places to eat, and things to do. It was truly a fantastically relaxing place to be after traveling all day. The area surrounding the apartment was clean, quiet, and I felt very safe. I used uber to get around and found the Dollar General at the edge of the apartment complex very convenient for last minute items and food staples. Abbie was an incredibly kind and enjoyable host though I didn't see much of her while I was adventuring through Austin or working on photos in my room. I would definitely rebook."
5506227,51735150,2015-10-24,43904247,Hannah,"The room and bathroom were very clean and private. She provided towels, toiletries and a binder filled with useful information on transportation/food/etc. Communication was easy and the turnaround for responses was quick. Both of the hosts were kind and the pets were very sweet/quiet."
5506227,52070888,2015-10-26,20992407,Xander,Very nice room. Having the adjacent bathroom is very convenient!
5506227,52370084,2015-10-28,484258,Sarah,"I had a very lovely stay at Abbie's apartment. The room looked exactly how it looks in the photos and it was super clean. She even left some snacks for me, as well as a binder with some info on the area including maps. There is a bus stop right in front of her complex, but I took Uber around the city. She lives maybe 2 miles from downtown. Thanks for hosting me! I definitely would consider staying again next time I am in Austin."
5506227,52645721,2015-10-31,2600996,Jamie,"Abbie was a wonderful host. The room was great, well-furnished and very comfortable. The location is ideal and Abbie was very helpful and considerate. Highly recommended! "
5506227,53094207,2015-11-04,46901173,Florian,"Girls are great and wonderful people they are amazing hosts being there you feel like in your own house.
I saw pictures before I went there and I was reserved that is gonna be really nice how it looks but when I arrived there it was much better than in the pictures everything was clean and perfect
Girls helped me in everything about the city and about every thing that I asked them and yeah if i go back to Austin i will try to go again to Abbies apartment ."
2934061,13886462,2014-06-07,3738491,Michael,"Clean, like the pictures, really nice and super close to the Convention Center. Was perfect."
2934061,13988365,2014-06-09,10732586,Spencer,"When we initially checked in, the place wasn't cleaned.  I contacted Erica and she made things right.  She sent the maid over immediately, apologized and offered to pick up some food for us that evening.

The location is great for being downtown and close to all the action.  Probably not the best place if you are wanting a good nights rest though... the apartment complex was like a frat house and people were up yelling until like 4:30 a.m. both evenings.

Not sure why there is a TV there as there is no cable/satellite/dvd/blu ray.  It literally is just 'bring your own hdmi and device' I guess which was lame.  Also, it wasn't stated so no blame to renters but no wifi available.  No TV/Wifi makes it hard to unwind or work from this place.

Overall, probably wouldn't stay there again but did have great service and promptness from Erica and the Turnkey crew.  They were very great to work with."
2934061,15417580,2014-07-08,5963052,Dave,Erica's company TurnKey made the entire rental process easy and painless. They were always available 24/7 and were happy to help. Would rent with them again and I probably will!
2934061,18740329,2014-08-31,101875,Arti,"Great location. Clean flat. Quick resolution of any issues.

The cleaning fees (100$ approximately) are quite exorbitant though especially considering that you're supposed to take out the trash and start a batch of laundry for the towels before you leave."
2934061,21591494,2014-10-20,2496380,Greg,The communication from Erica and her team was excellent.
2934061,22324808,2014-11-03,20743787,Ron,Great location and the condo was as advertised. Highly recommend. 
2934061,22649272,2014-11-11,18168487,Tom,"I really enjoyed the space and the neighborhood, plenty of amenities all around.  There was a lot of communication from Erica right away and again in the days leading up to our stay, letting us know we could check in early and--as it turned out, check out late."
2934061,24044337,2014-12-17,921360,Kelly,The reservation was canceled 86 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2934061,26313982,2015-02-09,25798411,Madeline,"Everything was exactly as expected, amazing! Extremely clean with all the linens and toiletries we needed. All appliances were up to date, and the futon that was used as a second bed was comfortable. Loved the two door access to the bathroom so the main bedroom was not disturbed. Location was absolutely perfect, right downtown in the middle of everything- restaurants, bars, kayak rentals 2 blocks away, bike rentals 3 blocks away. The host was also great and extremely attentive!"
2934061,27545262,2015-03-07,12910734,Christine,"The apartment was true to the pictures and was a comfortable place to stay for a few days. Erica's team provided great customer service -- I had an issue with the combination on the key pad entry and they promptly reset it for me. The apartment has some small signs of wear and tear and there are some noisy neighbors, but it was overall a very convenient place to stay while in town for a conference.  "
2934061,31516521,2015-05-06,28571251,Logan,"The host sent specific instructions and directions twice in the days leading up to the trip so we knew exactly how to find and get into the condo. The pictures were accurate, it was quite clean, and most of all it was in a perfect location for us as it was walking distance to most places we wanted to go. It was our first time in Austin and we wanted to hit up all the touristy sights but didn't want the hassle of renting a car, and this location was perfect for that. If you're flying in from out of town and take the airport express bus in for $1.75, the bus stop is two blocks away. Unfortunately the building it's housed in, The Railyards, seems to have quite a few vacation properties. The late night pool parties, starting around 2 am and continuing until 3, kept me up for 2 of the nights and my wife a third night. There are signs everywhere reminding people of quiet time beginning at 10 in the courtyard, but people are jerks, so what can you do?  "
2934061,32209668,2015-05-15,13867409,Taylor,"Great location and logistics were smooth, but there were problems with noise from the pool area on my first two nights between midnight and 3am.  The walls are thin, and the bedroom faces the inner courtyard where the pool is, so noise and light filter in clearly throughout the night. Things happen, so I was fine with it the first night, but once the issue was flagged, the rental company just suggested waiting for the party to get going and then calling security. All in all, it's a good apartment for someone who is in Austin to party, but not for work or family trips. "
2934061,32548686,2015-05-19,27798497,Shannon,"Great location, yet peaceful. Just steps from the pool, although we did not utilize during our two night stay. We did not use the kitchen at all, but seemed to have everything you would need (except glasses? we were using coffee cups for our am/pm ice waters) All in all a good stay. Thank you."
2934061,32859511,2015-05-22,24335448,Erin,This was a great condo to stay in and was very conveniently located. The condo itself was beautiful and very clean! 
2934061,34510967,2015-06-08,24641332,Blake,Great email communication leading up to my stay.  Simple and easy to use codes for entry to the building and the condo made my arrival pretty seamless.  The unit was just like the photos and in a great location! 
2934061,34688859,2015-06-10,32724761,Mallory,The host canceled this reservation 113 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2934061,36288813,2015-06-27,33295470,Shauna,Loved the code access to the building and apartment. The location was great. Enjoyed my time here!
2934061,40024538,2015-07-27,20664622,Natalia,"The apartment is exactly as the photos in the webpage. The location is really good and it was clean. On the other hand I WOULDN'T RETURN to this apartment. It was in the second floor next to the pool and there were people partying there all night long and when I had to wake up at 8 am next morning they were still there. I literally couldn't sleep. The second night was a little bit quieter but it was loud until 3 am. The walls are really thin and there is nobody controlling the ""no parties, excessive noise"" policy. 
The communication at first was really good but after our first night I sent a message asking what to do regarding the noise and nobody answered."
2934061,41438671,2015-08-07,20318627,Mary,"I booked the condo/location but did not stay there. A colleague stayed there and had the following to say about it:

It was noisy. The place was clean and fine except it was noisy.
There's a pool in the middle of the courtyard and every night around 10pm people would hang out and chat, the sound echoed and the apt is right above that pool."
2934061,50714880,2015-10-13,38511747,Ali,"Nice location, clean apartment. Perfect if you are going to Austin to party. 2 blocks from east 6th. Loud residents during nighttime and hard to park in lot. Good for short stays. "
2934061,51141569,2015-10-18,24129415,Larry,"Great condo and a great location, with easy access to most of downtown Austin.  The property was as described, it was neat and clean when we arrived and the management company, TurnKey, was very responsive. The parking, while tight, came in very handy as did the washer and dryer. The biggest negative was that the wifi is so slow that it is nearly unusable. It is a 6 mbs open access point shared by the entire condo association and anyone else nearby that has figured out the password. Still, it is a good value and a great place to spend a week."
2934061,51610013,2015-10-22,20491348,Brianna,"Very convenient location, we were able to walk to most places. The condo itself was very clean and spacious. We had a great time. I did, however ask about laundry detergent prior to arrival and was told that it was provided but there was none to be found and when I sent an email I didn't get a response. Aside from that this was a great find and we would definitely stay there again!"
1329922,6686704,2013-08-21,5695180,Jacob,"Debra was an amazing host who went above and beyond the call of duty to keep us comfortable. The studio was clean and cozy, and in a great location. We'll definitely recommend this place to any of our friends or family who visit this city!"
1329922,9101471,2013-12-07,9724898,Nora,"Despite some initial upset (for the record, it's the apartment at the end away from the street), this was a pretty good place to stay.  It smells pretty intensely of potpourri of some kind, which didn't dissipate during the one month stay, so beware if you're sensitive to smells.  It's a small but cute setup, with a tiny adorable mini dishwasher and all the other necessities for a decent time.  Neighbors are super friendly!"
1329922,9574733,2014-01-02,10833851,Seth,Very clean and nice. Great location. We Loved it.
1329922,11319778,2014-03-30,3052235,Jan,"I stayed in Debra's apartment for four weeks and had a great time. It's perfect for one person, a couple or even a small group. The bed is super comfy, the bathroom with the shower is great and you have everything you need in the kitchen. Everything is new and immaculately clean. It's a very quiet and save neighborhood, a residential area of Austin. You can be downtown in under 10 minutes by car or in about 30 minutes by bus. It should be super easy to get there by bike as well. The Hancock Center with a 24/7-supermarket is nearby. I really enjoyed my time in this apartment. It's perfect for a short-term or even a long-term stay."
1329922,12504131,2014-05-04,10436637,Dan,"Debra hosts a comfortable, well decorated space and was easily reachable, though nothing went wrong that required urgent communication. "
1329922,21334903,2014-10-15,17922133,Jillian,"We had a great time staying in Debra's apartment! It was conveniently located about 10 mins drive from downtown and the neighborhood was very nice. The apartment was clean and spacious. However, the neighbors did tend to smoke a lot and somehow the smell was coming into the kitchen and bathroom- which required us to leave the windows open often. Not sure there is anything the owner can really do about that. Debra was very friendly, thoughtful and communicative - a great host! She even left us some snacks and fresh flowers! Would definitely stay again."
1329922,22075981,2014-10-29,22210651,Gilles,"Great space, really comfortable, with everything you could need, and close to Austin city center. Debra's an excellent host in both hospitality and information. Definitely coming back here on my next Austin trip. Thanks again, Debra!"
1329922,22599007,2014-11-10,9216131,Sam,"This little studio apartment was the cutest thing ever. My friend and I were attending the Wanderlust Yoga festival for 4 days. The festival was only 10 mins away which wasn't to bad of a drive. As we walked in, it was spot on clean with the small table to your right with all kinds of goodies (tea/coffee/candy). The little cute abode was equipped with a small kitchen which was very convenient for our mornings starting with coffee and small breakfast. HEB was fairly close as well to go grocery shopping. The studio was the perfect size for my friend and I. The bed and couch were comfy and the bathroom was the right size. Oh loved the heater in the bathroom because it was a bit chilly during our stay. The only problem that I would say about the studio is that when we walked in it smelt like smoke. Not my ideal atmosphere. But overall it was such a great stay. Thank you Debra will totally stay again:) "
1329922,24685518,2015-01-01,18261871,Clinton,"This cozy & neatly furnished generously sized studio is in a very good location.  Quiet & serene yet close to everything in Austin.  The bed is so great for sleep!  Also, I had read other posts about smelling smoke.   I was here for a week & did not once smell smoke.  On the contrary the owner has put in an air filter system which I noticed stays on but you don't hear it or even really see it.  It makes this apartment smell better than any other place I've stayed in so far.  And I felt I could really breathe freely in this apartment.

All in all I would say this has been one of my favorite airbnb stays!  Really ..... only great things to say about this one ....

Clinton"
1329922,26752139,2015-02-18,2739598,Sandy,"The listing was exactly as described and very comfortable. Debra left fruit, coffee and snacks for us which was great since we arrived at night. We never met Debra, but she answered our emails or texts immediately. We had a great time in Austin and Debra's space was very convenient. We met several of the neighbors in the apartment complex and they were all so friendly & nice. We would absolutely stay here again on our next trip."
1329922,29913137,2015-04-14,23127516,Andrew,"Overall I had a great experience at Debra's place. I stayed for over a month and didn't have any complaints. Although I didn't see Debra at all during this time, she was always immediately responsive to any questions I had. The place is very conveniently located, only a few miles north of the downtown. 
The one thing I would mention is that the apartment doesn't get a ton of natural light. That probably doesn't matter for most people looking to stay here for only a few days and who won't be at the place a lot, but since I was there for an extended period of time, it's really the only thing I wished were better. 
Regarding the smell that people have talked about, it doesn't really smell like smoke, but there is definitely a smell; it's not necessarily bad, and ultimately didn't bother me (I even extended my stay a few times) but for people that might be hyper-sensitive, they should be aware because it would be false to say there's no smell at all. Still, there is an air-filter, a fan, and windows that open so it shouldn't be a deal-breaker. 
I would definitely come back to this place. It's in a nice, quite neighborhood, with friendly neighbors, walking distance to a lot of amenities, near the UT Campus, and a stone's throw away from an In-and-Out burger!"
1329922,31972174,2015-05-12,1725861,Layton,Loved my stay at Debra's studio. It's perfect for a small group of people looking to spend some quality time in Austin. The neighborhood is very relaxing and nice and the neighbors are very friendly. Debra left coffee and fresh towels for us and even gave suggestions on where to shop and visit. 
1076941,4696770,2013-05-20,6424856,Shawn,"Short story long; this was a great place to stay in Austin for the weekend. Centrally located near the best neighborhood in town, cool kitty; oh, and a couple real nice guys. Everything was clean, comfortable and relaxed.

The neighborhood is more or less where you want to be if you like bike rides, dive bars, or just a nice chill time in the Texas State Cemetery.

"
1076941,4976101,2013-06-04,6642285,Natalie,"Great stay! The place is clean and Andrew and Justin are very friendly (Andrew even helped me move my stuff to my new apartment at the end of my stay). Easy to get to downtown Austin from the house via bike or bus. 

Oh and the kitty (Loki) is a wonderful little lovebug. 
"
1076941,5202012,2013-06-17,6277572,Iain,"This is the most professional and laid back non professional AIR bnb house we've been in. Justin and Andrew are total gentle-dudes. 

The house manual is laminated and available at your bedside, in case you need bikes or to use the washing machine or whatever. It is so entertaining, it is the only set of instructions my sister carla and I have ever read cover to cover.  

I don't know what you know about Austin but during July it is hotter than the sweat patches on Scarlet  Johannason's catsuit. As a result the consistent, steady air-conditioning was appreciated. 

The location is tip-top, only two blocks from 6th St. (east) which has all of your food, beverage and tattoo needs covered. It's a short bike ride to the river which is so rad. Ride bikes in Austin. Just do it. 

The washer and drier work, and work well and are entertaining, for a cheeky bonus. The washing machine is a monument that stands testament to this house's Macguyvering skills. 

The bed sleeps two people who really don't want to touch each other comfortably, just watch your shins on the frame around the outside. 

This house provides ample towels. One face cloth, one wash cloth and one big fluffy, comfy towel towel. 

The bathroom is supreme and so fresh and so clean, clean. The kitchen is decked out, however the food in Austin rocks so you maybe won't need that. 
 
"
1076941,5403299,2013-06-28,6398033,Kathy,"Andrew and Justin (and of course Loki the cat) were great hosts. They are friendly and open and easy going. Their house feels like home as soon as you get there, probably due to Andrew and Justin. Their house is in a great location for experiencing the real austin. Walking distance to lots of cool bars and food trucks and to 6th st (if that's your thing). Also in between 3 bus routes so very easy to get to Barton Springs (which is a must) and downtown.
Highly recommend staying here."
1076941,5926679,2013-07-22,4475388,Murali Sankar,It is a fine place to stay near downtown and Andrew is a great host. Thanks for the wonderful time
1076941,6137409,2013-07-31,1334142,Itay,"I had a superb time at Andrew and Justin's place.They are super-smart, professional, friendly and cool. The overall experience was impeccable. The room and apartment were very clean. the hosts respected my privacy, yet allowed me to join them when I needed company, and provided me with most helpful information about Austin. I had a wonderful time and wish I could stay longer. Thank you guys! 
Highly recommended - it was much better then being at any hostel or hotel )
 "
1076941,6310479,2013-08-07,6991168,Aaron,"Andrew is a really awesome guy! He's a great host, offered to pick me up at the airport, and we tossed a disc one afternoon. Overall staying here was a great experience."
1076941,6499237,2013-08-14,6342997,Amy,"Andrew and Justin were amazing hosts, the guys are great to talk to and share a drink with. The house is comfortable and in a great location close to fantastic bars and restaurants. Thanks for the stay guys and don't forget to look us up when you come to Melbourne."
1076941,6597633,2013-08-18,1188463,Simone,Andrew and Justin were the best! Super helpful despite the fact that neither of us had smartphones and were trying to navigate our stay in Austin the old fashioned way. Andrew even stayed up late for us when we didn't get in until way later than we thought we would. They also showed us a great night out on the town. Really friendly generous guys with a nice clean room and the coolest cat in the world. 
1076941,6700973,2013-08-21,456818,Nina,"It has been awesome at Andrews & Justins. We felt unbelievably comfortable in the room and the house as well. Both were extremely hospitable and fun to hang out with. Our evenings in the kitchen will be memorable :-)! Hope to see you again, thanks for everything. The Germans."
1076941,6913889,2013-08-30,7226156,Beatrice,"Andrew,Justin and Locki  are great hosts, I can't thank them enough! The room was clean  as well as the bathroom. Andrew was kind enough to pick me up from the airport.  Great location, bus stop is blocks away!!! As well as the best BBQ in town (Franklin BBQ)!!! Thank you guys!!!"
1076941,7029524,2013-09-03,8331990,Zendel,"I really enjoyed staying with Andrew, he was a great host and the house was in a very convenient location. We hope to go back some time soon!"
1076941,7138387,2013-09-08,4942237,Sharon,"Andrew and Justin were great, very friendly hosts. Their cat Loki stole my heart (he's so sweet and cuddly)! They kept the house very neat and tidy, although I did notice a few bugs around. The room was small and cozy. The area the house is in is quiet and residential, right next to several schools. I did not end up using public transportation so I cannot say how reliable that was, but it was a very short drive to downtown. To put it in perspective, South Congress is 3 miles away, but there are several cool restaurants and bars a short walk away on 11th street, including Franklin BBQ. "
1076941,7288361,2013-09-14,419879,Ladislas,"Andrew and Justin were really cool hosts and go out of their way to make their guests feel comfortable. The location of the house is sweet; a safe 5 minute walk from 6th street. Parking abounds, and the wifi is fast. Great value."
1076941,7335985,2013-09-16,8129823,Lauren,"This was more like staying with a friend - Andrew was very welcoming, helpful and fun to talk to. He offered to give us rides and made extra coffee - little things like that that you wouldn't find at a hotel were much appreciated. I felt very comfortable and it was ridiculously affordable. If I travel back to Austin, I would definitely contact Andrew again for a place to stay and/or just to hang out!"
1076941,7408493,2013-09-18,2856805,Bree,"We had a fantastic visit to Austin: and loved staying with Andrew and Justin. They are very friendly, open and easy company .. We could have stayed a week with them and hung out in this cool city. Definitely recommend Andrew and Justin as well as their fun Texan city. "
1076941,7577640,2013-09-25,3703475,Jennifer,"I stayed with Andrew & Justin for 7 days so I really got a chance to know them. Let me just say that they are 2 of the nicest guys I have ever met. Super cool, laid back guys that are very sweet and accommodating. Whether you stay a week like me or only one day, you will agree! Ok, I promised I would review them first and then Loki. Yes, this is a very special kitty. Beware non-cat lovers: he will make you have an instant change of heart. All of you Grinchy types may scoff at my last statement, but will find yourself looking at pics of him on your phone during your return flight. I miss that lil cuddly meows. Sigh. The location was great. Very close to so many cool places. I had a rental car so I can't comment on transportation. Parking is not a problem since it's residential - always a spot available on the street. This was my first time in Austin, and I did not find it difficult to navigate the city at all. I have 315 words left but if you don't know that this is the place to stay by now, my 297 words left will make no difference. "
1076941,7670598,2013-09-29,8155649,Meg,My friend Jeanny and I stayed with Andrew for three days during a work conference. Andrew and Justin were super welcoming and accommodating. Andrew even drove us across town to a dinner after our taxi failed to show up! 
1076941,7762618,2013-10-01,5907891,Ray,"Andrew was awesome, very accommodating. The place was clean and in a very quiet and safe area, very close to downtown. We stayed for a weekend for work, so we didn't get to hang out with him and his roommate. But we got to play with Loki the cat, very sweet. We will definitely stay again next time we're in the city, highly recommended."
1076941,7915810,2013-10-08,7782529,Priscila,Andrew and Justin are the best hosts ever but not better than their lovely cat ll defenitly come back :)
1076941,8111837,2013-10-16,8004977,Kendall,"Having only use Airbnb once before i was not sure what to expect. Andrew and Justin were very welcoming and the room was ok, luckily it turned out my girlfriend couldnt make it because the bed is just very squeaky, even just with one person!. Andrew seems a little upset about me complaining about the noise of the aircon, 4 in the morning with it right on the wall next to the bed and the house is freezing is just not cool, excuse the pun...I turned it down the first night after that i complained. Water on the bathroom floor, sorry man, swamp seems a little....dramatic. if i was autonomous it was because i came to Austin to meet people and have a good time, i gave you a 280 dollar ticket to the festival as you had no money to buy it, if you were that into meeting me you would have called to meet me for a beer at the event! Take a chill pill fellas, the house is sweet, your cat is cute and it was value for money, if i was a little blunt about anything well apologies, if you were upset you should have been grown up enough to say it rather than writing it on a forum, we left on good terms man. "
1076941,8197320,2013-10-20,8330568,Ryan,"Andrew was a fantastic host! The place was nice, and in a great location. Close to a bunch of cool restaurants and bars on the East side of Austin. Would definitely stay again."
1076941,8366652,2013-10-28,5294839,Patrick,"I stayed for four nights and can confirm the other positive reviews for Andrew and Justin. These guys are Airbnb professionals. I found everything in the listing to be accurate, pictures too. And I recommend this neighborhood."
1076941,8438016,2013-10-30,9582361,Lauren,"Andrew was a great host. Welcoming and friendly. He was easy to talk to and added to the relaxed atmosphere. The whole house was kept very tidy as was the room. Andrew was just putting on the sheets when I got there. They were still warm from the dryer! 

The area was nice and quiet at night and street parking was no problem. And of course, Loki the cat was a treat. : ) "
1076941,8565071,2013-11-05,9065850,John,"The house is on a quiet street in an up and coming neighborhood that allows you to walk to some cool restaurants and shops in the area. If you like to walk (as I do), downtown Austin is not far away and can be reached quite easily. Andrew and Justin are two very nice guys who can give you good advice on where to go and what to do if you are not familiar with Austin. I really felt comfortable and relaxed in their pad and I would definitely stay here again. Good guys, cool 'hood and the price was right. 'Nuff said."
1076941,8739945,2013-11-15,9035084,Rostislav,"It was my first visit to US and my first experience with airbnb. Thanks to Andrew, his roommate Justin and Loki the cat it was marvelous. The house has a unique atmosphere, it is located in very quiet area, short distance from two bus lines stops. The capitol/downtown can also be reached by walk (about 20 minutes). Friendly pubs are nearby. The guest room is exactly as described/shown on photos and fully satisfied my needs. I appreciated Andrew's and Justin's help when I needed any information about Austin, set my old PDA connection to wifi or to book a taxi. It was my pleasure to meet them and I need to say I relaxed in their company and enjoyed my visit very much. I also hope to see them in the Czech Republic."
1076941,8802508,2013-11-18,6207301,Barnaby,Andrew is awesome. The bed/room--super comfortable. Loki! Adorable black cat-I love cats. The place is very conveniently located close to downtown. I was able to do laundry. Truly an ideal stay. He is a very gracious host. I strongly recommend this stay to anyone!
1076941,8839928,2013-11-20,573171,Kuldeep,"Andrew is a very welcoming and well organized host. He made my stay hassle free and comfortable. The thorough manual is created for all his hosts is very helpful. Andrew's cat Loki is also minds his own business which was very good for non-pet person like me :)
The place is also very close to downtown so it's very convenient. I would definitely rent back this place when I go back to Austin."
1076941,9301609,2013-12-19,6703020,Dan,Didn't get to see much of Andrew and Justin since we slept in and came back late. But they were very helpful via text beforehand and we had a great time staying there without any problems. Definitely a great value.
1076941,9323523,2013-12-21,10493628,Tom,"We didn't get a chance to meet Andrew in person as we were always out of the house until pretty late but he was super helpful, sorted everything out for our arrival, and made sure we were comfortable. It was a great place to stay and we had an awesome time in Austin. Definitely recommended. 

P.S. The cat was cool."
1076941,9414574,2013-12-27,10568161,Sasha,"Andrew's place was just what we were looking for: a very basic home base for a few days in the city. The house was close to good bars and food trailers. And of course, home to one of the greatest felines I've ever met..."
1076941,18462869,2014-08-26,20533541,Mike,The reservation was canceled 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1076941,19168269,2014-09-07,712575,Meghan,"Was in Austin for the weekend to see a few shows and needed a place to sleep.  Staying at Andrew and Justin's place was easy and comfortable.  Neither were home when I got into town, but Andrew had pre-arranged for access, which was thoughtful--he was very flexible about arrival/check-in.  The cats were great (in addition to Loki, there was a new, adorable kitten named Thor), and the bed was very comfortable.  I think it may be a queen-size bed that is in the room now.  
Had a bit of interaction with Andrew and Justin, but definitely didn't feel pressured to talk or be extremely outgoing if I just felt like reading or being to myself.
Location was my ideal.  Quiet area with a neighborhood feel, but so close to lots of interesting stores, restaurants, streets, etc.  
Would of course stay again if I were in the area and Andrew and Justin had the room available. "
1076941,19339741,2014-09-10,8160373,Stacey,"My boyfriend and I stayed with Andrew and his roommate, Justin, in their adorable house in East Austin. The area is incredibly safe and easy to navigate and both Justin and Andrew are super helpful and knowledgable about their city. Check in (and out) was a breeze, their cats are adorable as hell, and the fact that we had a great time in Austin was definitely helped by the fact that we stayed where we did. :)"
1076941,19636241,2014-09-15,13170446,Milo,"Great stay, all around! Andrew and his roommate, Justin, are genuinely friendly and accommodating hosts. Their home is a few blocks from coffee, food carts, and several bus lines. We easily walked downtown, too. The house is in a residential neighborhood - inside it's clean, quiet, and air conditioned, which made for a perfect home base after long days out and about.

The room is as described - the bed was super comfy and the linens freshly laundered. Best amenity may have been Thor, the kitten who slept in the bed with us the first night. Andrew has done an amazing job socializing his two cats and they are a real pleasure to hang out with. Water pressure was strong enough in the shower, and access to the kitchen was nice when we brought leftovers home.

Andrew communicated promptly at every step of the way. Upon arrival he greeted us warmly at the door, showed us around the house, and took it upon himself to research several vegetarian dining options for us. We opted for East Side Pies - a yummy, divey pizza joint nearby. We had our own key which made coming and going a breeze.

All in all, book here and expect a safe, welcoming environment at a great value."
1076941,19752747,2014-09-17,14412917,Mohamad,"Andrew and his friend Justin are very friendly and communicative. The location was great just close to downtown and very safe. The house is old but super clean and convenient. For sure, i recommend this place whenever you visit Austin"
1076941,20168212,2014-09-24,1245962,Joey,"What a welcoming household! Andrew and Justin were great, and they happen to have the two cutest cats in existence. They were super prepared for my stay, and everything was clean and comfortable.

Couldn't recommend them more."
1076941,20269005,2014-09-26,21681053,Emma,Andrew and Justin were so welcoming and kind. Loved the cats. Had a great time!
1076941,20391839,2014-09-28,9222404,Hillary,"Nice, clean place, friendly hosts and yes the worlds cutest cat and kitten combo. It was the perfect location for me to get a feel for Austin. Definitely recommend."
1076941,20537177,2014-09-30,420439,Rob,"Working for an international airline, I've used Airbnb several times in various parts of the world, but this was my first USA experience. I found Andrew's place to be a bit more basic and no frills than perhaps I am accustomed. That said, the bed was indeed comfortable, the shower was super hot and the location is in a quiet and safe neighborhood only a 15 minute walk to downtown Austin. In addition, as all the previous reviewers have mentioned, Andrew is a friendly and easygoing host who obviously loves his adopted city. His ""house manual"" is very thorough and well done. However, I did feel that the place could use a bit sprucing up both inside and out. The yard in particular was certainly a bit overgrown and unkempt. Perhaps I have a more critical eye as I also rent out my apartment in NYC to travelers. I realize that Austin can be pricey in terms of finding affordable accommodations, but I'm not certain this represented the best value for the money.  "
1076941,20707386,2014-10-04,1012385,Chetna,"Andrew and Justin were incredibly welcoming and attentive as hosts. Andrew went above and beyond to make us feel at home and to help us out when needed. Their two cats became our favorite cuddle friends and the home and room were clean and comfortable. They're located close to B-cycles, buses, and a couple fabulous eateries so we enjoyed exploring their neighborhood. Andrew and Justin also had a pretty great book and vinyl collection that reflected the culture, depth and kindness of them both. "
1076941,20852761,2014-10-06,21423678,Christine,"Andrew and his roommate Justin are the nicest guys and made our trip to Austin an awesome experience. The bed was big enough to comfortably sleep two people, had fresh sheets and there were fresh towels left for us. My friend Irena and I stayed here for two days and were in and out of the house (in town for ACL) but it was great when we got a chance to talk with Andrew and Justin and not to mention their cats are super adorable and sweet. The house is also within walking distance to cafes for breakfast and coffee shops. We drove to downtown but could have even walked if we wanted to. Very enjoyable stay and I would highly recommend their house!"
1076941,21009712,2014-10-09,9313917,Gabe,"Andrew and Justin's place fulfilled the two great things about air bnb: location and the chance to meet local people. Justin gave us some great recommendations for places to go on our first night in Austin. We walked everywhere and their home was an easy walk home at the end of a night. The next day we rented bikes as a b bike kiosk is close by, and explored further, ending the night at an outdoor bar we stumbled upon on our way home. 
The youngest cat was a highlight too, playful and affectionate. 
The room felt clean but it didn't seem like the bathroom had been wiped down in some time. The bed was comfortable and nights were cool despite the heat and mugginess we weren't expecting outside. Justin was a great host."
1076941,21347362,2014-10-15,3599593,Zoe,"The place was great, good location and the guys were super helpful. The cats are also really cute. I managed to walk or bike most places. Austin rocks! I didn't want to leave."
1076941,21516686,2014-10-19,1861585,Andrea,Fantastic location in a great neighborhood close to restaurants and bars. Andrew was very nice and welcoming. The place had everything we needed plus two adorable cats. 
1076941,21832026,2014-10-25,15392249,Shirin,"This was my first airbnb experience and it was wonderful. I was in Austin for the film festival, so I was rarely at the apartment and didn't get a chance to meet Andrew. But I met his roommate, Justin, who was super hospitable and kind. The place was clean and quiet. Two adorable cats, especially the little kitten Thor, who made my heart melt. Very convenient location... right next to where the festival was taking place in downtown Austin. No complaints. Everything was as advertised/described. I recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin."
1076941,22025540,2014-10-28,2204132,Inma,"I did't have the opportunity to meet Andrew but he was all the time making sure we were fine and that we had everything we need. On the other hand, we met Andrew's roommate, Justin, and he was just perfect. He recommened us nice places to grab food and drinks; things to see, he made us feel like at home. Moreover, if you love cats, this is your place. Thor and Locki are the cutiest and most friendly cats I've ever met. I would totally stay here again."
1076941,22232426,2014-11-02,8331990,Zendel,Louie and I have been here before and this time we were greeted with open arms and happy conversations. We loved the new arrangement of the room and especially the new kitty! Thank you Andrew and Justin for making us feel so welcomed again!
1076941,22778049,2014-11-14,23387966,Darren,I had a great stay and would absolutely enjoy staying here in the future. Andrew was so helpful and welcoming. He quickly responded to the questions I had and made me feel right at home. The room was comfortable and I slept quite well. The location was great for me - I had to be downtown quite a bit. I came and went with ease and the whole experience was simple. Thank you!
1076941,23096501,2014-11-23,21531630,JeffAndKatie,"Andrew and his roommate (and his cats) made Katie and I feel like we were staying at a close friend's place. While we didn't run into them, they were still super nice: offering advice on things to do, and making sure we had an enjoyable stay. The towels were nicely folded and waiting for us at the foot of the bed. The neighborhood is great, and the location meant we walked most places, or took a quick, cheap car ride. We definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
1076941,23571271,2014-12-05,13182323,Alice,Tres bon accueil chez Justin et Andrew. Nous ne sommes restés qu une nui. La maison est petite mais tres propre et la literie confortable. 
1076941,23985154,2014-12-15,14806555,Liselore,"We enjoyed staying with Justin and Andrew.
The house is perfect located. Quiet neighborhood, but nearby nice cafes on 6th street and Franklins bar for the best brisket. 
Justin and Andrew gave us some good advise on what to do where. Thanks, we had a really good time in Austin. "
1076941,24198586,2014-12-22,24460083,Haley,"We had a great first Airbnb experience while staying with Andrew and Justin. We didn't see them often but when we did they offered great suggestions for places to go and things to see. The house is clean, quiet and very close to town! And their cats were friendly and adorable. We would totally recommend this place to anyone looking to explore Austin!"
1076941,24495411,2014-12-29,2560468,Matteo,We really enjoyed our stay at Andrew's & Justin's house. Unfortunately we did not have the chance to meet Andrew but Justin was super friendly and welcoming as well. His plenty recommendations were very helpful so that we have spend such a great time in this awesome city. We would come back any time to stay again in this cozy houshold being the perfect location for exploring Austin and having the perfect hosts!
1076941,25137032,2015-01-07,10135714,Emily,"Great place and great hosts. It's in the east end, walking distance to bars, restaurants, and buses. Got recommendations for places. The cats were friendly."
1076941,25605364,2015-01-20,13883380,Camille,Andrew was a great host. I was greeted upon arrival and he and his roommate checked in throughout my stay to see if we needed anything. The place was as described and clean! There was plenty of off street parking and the cats were adorable. 
1076941,25777662,2015-01-25,12988250,George,We had a great time in Austin. Andrew was very welcoming and his place was just as described. The house was also in a great location. We ubered down to 6th street on Friday and walked to brunch at Hillside Farmacy on Saturday. We will definitely stay here again.
1076941,26007005,2015-02-01,25359582,Anthony,"I was halfway through an awesome review, changed screens and the airbnb app deleted it. I'm not rewriting that beauty, so I'll summarize. Didn't meet Andrew, other roommate Justin was crazy helpful. Walking distance to every type of food/bar possible. Clean house, awesome cats. Justin always answered my texts immediately when I had questions which was great. Helped make my visit very memorable. Thanks guys!!"
1076941,26115311,2015-02-03,12511861,Eddie,"Justin was very welcoming and friendly. He provided alot of information about the area and was available for anything that might come up. The place was just as described online, and overall the stay was great. The house is nice and quirky in a very low key neighborhood with other nice houses around, and it is not far at all from grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, etc. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an easy and comfortable place to stay with friendly people. "
1076941,26221619,2015-02-07,25102834,Mika,"It was a great experience staying the room. Unfortunately, we had no chance to meet Andrew, but his house mate Justin helped us to checkin. He was very nice and friendly. As were their two lovely cats. The place is paradise for cat lovers!! "
1076941,26342865,2015-02-09,18691959,Laurynas,Andrew and his roommate were great hosts! Their house is in a great location just minutes drive from lots of attractions and restaurants in Austin. Andrew was also great to check-in and see how things were going. The cats were awesome as well!
1076941,26398880,2015-02-11,26695889,Ian,"I loved staying with Andrew and Justin. Their place is in a great location and was very comfortable. I felt like I was staying with two friends who I haven't seen in a long time. If you get a chance to stay with them, do it; you won't regret it."
1076941,26659890,2015-02-16,441462,Alex,"Fantastic hosts, fantastic room, fantastic location, affordable price. I could not recommend Andrew's room more - both he and his roommate were fantastic hosts, offering us very good recommendations and were super accommodating to our every need. Can't wait to come back.

Oh, and the two cats at the apartment? Incredibly friendly, adorable, and fun. I'm a dog person, and I love these cats. "
1076941,26978810,2015-02-23,24711197,Pat,"Andrew and Justin were great hosts.  They were friendly and volunteered good info about Austin when asked.  Our bed was very comfortable and the room was tidy.  It was quiet and we felt safe in the neighborhood, walking downtown and to other areas of the city.  Andrew's landlord apparently does not maintain the outside of the house very well and for our taste it could have been a bit cleaner inside.  All and all we had a fantastic visit to Austin  and adored the cats, especially Thor."
1076941,27390178,2015-03-03,25971417,Brynn,Andrew and Justin were great hosts and very welcoming when we met them.  The listing was very accurate about what the accommodations were like.  The space was perfect as a home-base while we explored the city (walking and using the bike-share was very convenient from their house).  I would definitely recommend staying here and hope we can come back in the future!  The cats were super friendly and made staying here seem even more homey.
1076941,27524615,2015-03-06,7586583,Maggie,"Excellent communication with Andrew. Now on to business and the keys to having a successful businesss is location, location and location. 2 miles to Rainey, 3.5 miles to SoCo and less than 1 mile to 6th street. Plenty of parking in front of the house. The house is clean and the shower is hot. This place is all about location location location. You can walk to Franklins and get in line for the bbq, walk to Juan in a million. Coffee shops galore. Food trucks galore. Method.Hair is within walking distance. This is the best location and the price for all this is so reasonable. "
1076941,27649883,2015-03-09,9343196,Ariana,"Andrew and his roommate Justin are so welcoming and friendly (like much of Austin). You can tell that they are genuinely nice people, and truly wish you have the best stay while in town. As soon as we arrived they were willing to give us recommendations throughout town. The place itself is small, but there really is no need for anything more than a bed while you're there, seeing that the city has so much to do. Location is great, the east side of town is right around the corner, and buses to get downtown are down the street. Really great place to stay, and definitely added to our experience."
1076941,27810619,2015-03-12,28317314,Caroline,"Andrew was helpful and friendly. The house is conveniently close to downtown- totally bikeable. Clean, comfortable room with all the necessities. "
1076941,28082878,2015-03-17,26579691,Peter,Andrew and Justin were super friendly and accommodating! The room was clean and comfortable. It's a great location just 20 minutes from the convention centre with some good places to eat. I will be coming back :)
1076941,28297851,2015-03-22,7362329,Emily,"Super nice and accommodating. Never actually met Andrew because we were on different schedules but he was very communicative and helpful throughout my stay, making things as easy as possible for me. Also obsessed with his cats they are adorable."
1076941,29037793,2015-04-03,1245962,Joey,"A lovely host and house, as per usual."
1076941,29266835,2015-04-06,21196649,Laura,"Andrew and Justin were really welcoming.  They were both down-to-earth, friendly and thoughtful.  Had more talks with Justin due to our schedules and he is a wealth of recommendations and insights, especially since he's a lifelong Texan.  Both guys were very keen to make sure my stay was positive and that I felt comfortable on all levels, which was definitely the case.  Check in/out was a breeze.  The place itself is basic, pretty standard communal living.  No frills, clean sheets and towels, really affordable and just what I was looking for.  Fantastic location for East Austin bars, food, and art, and wandering around.  Can walk easily downtown in about 20 minutes, or pretty much anywhere else (like me) if you feel like it.  Would definitely stay there again if back in the area, thanks guys!"
1076941,29915286,2015-04-14,27747488,Robert,"First time Airbnb experience for me. The place was exactly as advertised and perfect for my needs. Unfortunately, storms kept me from flying into Austin as scheduled and I lost out on the first night of my reservation. The main downtown areas are within a reasonable walking distance, especially if you stop somewhere along the way for a meal. As others have noted, the house and yard need some work. My family was hesitant to drop me off because of the first impression (my 7-year-old nephew said it looked like a haunted house), but I was not bothered by it. I ended up not being there for much more than sleeping anyway. I hardly had the chance to say two words to Andrew, but crossed paths with Justin several times. He was very helpful with suggestions about places to go. Both guys were very low-key and accommodating. Overall, I felt I made a great choice and would be happy to stay with them again."
1076941,30213739,2015-04-19,29258613,Jane,"Andrew and Justin were so accommodating! I wish I had had more time to hang out with them and the cats, but when I did have time to chat, they were incredibly helpful helping me figure out how to get around and their food recommendations were spot on. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom was nice and clean."
1076941,30464099,2015-04-22,21045975,Andy,"The house was easy to find and good value for money. It is very old and walking distance of 6th street. I briefly met Justin and Andrew, who were friendly."
1076941,30928549,2015-04-29,28072133,Niklas,"Andrew is a great host. My flight was delayed and as a result I arrived in Austin late in the day, which was not a problem, however, as Andrew was very accommodating to organise a check-in that suited me. The place is in a great location with both downtown and the UT within walking distance (about 35 min) and otherwise is close to a number of bus stops and nice places to eat. The house and room are as advertised. I had a chance to spend time with both Andrew and Justin and can only say how forthcoming they were. An example: when Andrew found out that I was planning on moving through Austin on foot and since rain was forecast, he right-away offered my an umbrella for the duration of my stay. The cats are cute and unafraid of strangers. All in all, it was a pleasure to stay here. "
1076941,31159873,2015-05-03,10067503,Graham,Really enjoyed our stay with Andrew and Justin. Place was walking distance to East 6th street. Room and bed were really comfortable. Hosts were also great with providing recommendations. Would highly recommend!
1076941,31500555,2015-05-05,6460137,Vince,"Very pleased with my stay. Andrew was an ease to work with and able to accommodate me last minute, and his roommate Justin was also friendly and a great resource for things to do in the neighborhood. It's a tiny house, but it was friendly, quiet, safe and in an excellent location for getting out to explore. Would love to come back and visit!"
1076941,31871357,2015-05-11,7119113,Martin,"Andrew and Justin were really welcoming and friendly(the cats too). The room was clean and comfortable. It's a great location to east 6th st, bars with good music, art, great food. The house is simple and cozy. Really enjoyed our stay with Andrew and Justin. Hosts were also great with providing recommendations. Would highly recommend!"
1076941,32506437,2015-05-19,10260677,Georgina,"Had a great stay here! Loki the cat was a dream. Location is very handy, every thing is clean. Knowledgable and friendly roommates. Nothing to complain about at all!  "
1076941,32972543,2015-05-24,23986479,Jimmy,"Great host, very friendly and gives solid advice as to what to do in Austin."
1076941,33319747,2015-05-26,20989453,Brighde,"We stayed in Andrew's guest room for 2 nights. Andrew was easy to communicate with, laid back and made you feel at home (as did his cats!). We made use of the washing machine and dryer and this was so helpful for us as we were on a long road trip. 

The room was as described, big enough for 2 people (who have a lot of luggage!) with a comfortable bed.

We loved the area; close to bars, restaurants and music venues - we didn't need to use the car once. 

I would highly recommend staying here."
1076941,33555906,2015-05-29,402433,Lindsey,"Andrew was a very kind and communicative host. We didn't get to see him, but he was very accommodating of our schedule. The room was as advertised - simple but clean. The bathroom was not dirty, but it was slightly older than it looks in the picture. It's not too far from downtown Austin and is a great place to crash at night, which is exactly what we needed."
1076941,33694855,2015-05-31,11188993,Matt,Super chill dudes. Easy simple place to stay. No complaints.
1076941,34122232,2015-06-05,29392695,Nancy,"Staying with Andrew was the best decision we made for our short trip to Austin. Their location is excellent, walking distance to a lot of bars and little shops, and even places downtown if you are willing to walk a bit more. We had no car so we walked most of the time and used uber/lyft at night. 

We didn't see Andrew or Justin a lot since we were out most of the time and they would work during the day anyway but when we did, they were both AMAZING and incredibly friendly. Justin greeted us on our first day and immediately suggested good places to eat down the street and how to get around.

We will most likely be back and would love to visit again!"
1076941,34865543,2015-06-13,31879185,Phil,"Everything was exactly as advertised.  The hosts - Andrew and his roomate Justin - were most welcoming, up for conversations and were able to make good recommendations regarding stuff to see.  The place was clean and it is well located, walk distance from downtown.  The neighborhood is safe, as is most of Austin indeed.  We had our own key during the stay and were able to come and go as we like, even late at night (provided of course that we respected appropriate noise level).  As a future guest, I would only recommend to be careful with bees that hang out on the front porch at night for some reason.   I would totally recommend this place for your stay in Austin."
1076941,35252215,2015-06-16,26183380,Heather,"The house was fairly old but what I had expected based on the description. Andrew was very accomodating for our busy schedule. The house is in a great location, close to downtown and easy to find! There is a really cool little market down the street which I highly recommend checking out ( I think it's called quickie pickie). Overall great place to stay if you are looking for a place to crash at night that isn't overpriced for that area. "
1076941,35423097,2015-06-18,13182516,Jenny,"Excellent experience..Room was as described. It was very easy, great location, clean bedroom, and loved his cats..."
1076941,37176190,2015-07-05,20215766,Ines,"My boyfriend stayed with Andrew, this is what he said: I stayed five nights in Austin at the house of Andrew and his roommate Justin. Both of them are very laid back und relaxed. We had super nice conversations and we also went out to have some fun. In their home you find everthing you need to have a nice and comfort stay.

Thanks so much you guys for making Austin such a nice destination for me. 

"
1076941,37843324,2015-07-11,31175334,Andrew,"Fantastic experience, Andrew was very welcoming and was happy to help with tips and ideas for exploring Austin. 
Room was cozy but had more than enough room. I felt very comfortable and welcome, the location was great and we easily traveled around from our hub."
1076941,38239148,2015-07-13,26859986,Elias,"Great location! Andrew is nice and helpful.
Perfect for a cuple of nights! "
1076941,38619936,2015-07-17,32822368,Holly-Rose,Had a great experience at Andrew's house. Justin and Andrew were very friendly and helpful with recommendations. Cats were adorable. Room was as described and the location was near public transport and some great restaurants/food trucks/bars. Would definitely recommend as it was one of our best airbnb stays.
1076941,39100481,2015-07-20,22892148,Mark,"Fantastic, great home, good location. Andrew was a great host and a really nice laid back guy. I would stay here again and defiantly recommend this accommodation "
1076941,39663676,2015-07-25,16878708,Alvin,"Andrew was out of town so Justin was our guy. Great home, convenient location. No complaints."
1076941,40284266,2015-07-29,39383980,Robin,What a place! Justin & Andrew are great guys - keen to get to know you and really interesting to talk to. They have fantastic recommendations for anything you might want to do. I would highly recommend their place - pretty much everything you might want from an air bnb
1076941,40606203,2015-08-01,34929478,T.J.,"Awesome place to stay in Austin! Was my first time in Austin and needed a nice, well located placed to spent two nights while I was in town for a wedding and this ended up being perfect for what I needed. 

Because of flight delays from Los Angeles, I didn't get into Austin until 2am, but I communicated with Andrew beforehand and he left a key out back for me to come in when I arrived. I was warmly welcomed by Loki the cat. The room had a nicely sized bed and closet - just what I needed and most importantly it was Air Conditioned! Didn't meet Andrew in person because I was out most the day I was in Austin but he was very helpful via messaging and texts with anything I needed. I used several of his recommendations from the house manual for food places and bars and they did not disappoint. 

Location is great! Very walkable a to coffee trailer, restaurants etc. I loved Quickie Pickie, and most importantly for my needs, walkable to a B-cycle station which is the bike sharing system for Austin, and I cannot recommend it enough! It's how I got around for 2 days, loved it. Everything else is reasonably close by for a cheap Uber/Lyft ride. East Austin was very cool and seemed like the up and coming area of the city, I hope to spend more time there on my next visit to Austin. I would definitely stay here again! "
1076941,41764664,2015-08-09,35326314,Jack,"Upon first meeting Andrew, I was impressed that he came out of his home to greet me at my taxi. He gave me an intro about himself and introduced his black cat. This cat is very friendly. There is a washer and dryer in kitchen. The AC is turned on at night. The fan system is right behind the bedroom I stayed in. It didn't bother me but it is noticeable. The bathroom was old, a bit worn. The bed and pillows are about the same comfort level as a motel 6 or super 8. 

Overall a good stay, 6.5/10."
1076941,42599994,2015-08-14,38572768,Melanie,"Andrew and his roommate were amazing! This was my first time using an air bnb and they made everything very simple. They gave me a key so I could come and go as I pleased and their location was perfect for getting around town. They also provided excellent recommendations for parking, places to see, and bars to visit. I would stay there again!! :)"
1076941,43060667,2015-08-17,21944454,Lisa,We had a nice stay at Andrew's home. The house is located perfectly for exploring the city in a very cool area. Andrew and his roomate were friendly and helpful but they also gave us enough space for ourselves. We can totally recommend this to anybody who wants to explore the ''Austin-Lifestyle''.
1076941,44393347,2015-08-25,912826,Dan,"Andrew was the most amazing host ever. They helped me find activities and bars in the city and overall made my experience wo much better. 

The house is very cozy. Looks great and is super comfortable. I honestly felt like i was at home. Loki the cat is also super chill. And i hate cats. 

Location wise its also perfect. Tons of cheap food all around. Close to barton springs, south congress, campus, and everything. I cant wait to come back."
1076941,44975581,2015-08-30,7905989,Molly,"Unfortunately our trip went by too quick and so we didn't spend much time at the house, but Andrew and his roommate Justin were such amazing hosts. They're very chill but still friendly, and really give awesome suggestions and tips for us. The location was perfect, just a short walk to 6th and the main area of east austin, but still not too far from downtown or the airport. Overall, it was a really great time and I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of coming to check out Austin, its such a fun city!"
1076941,45421011,2015-09-02,31370431,Xuelian,The location is great. It's very easy to get around. Andrew and Justine both are very friendly!
1076941,45811753,2015-09-06,96055,Xiaoyang,"Andrew is a terrific host--he was very accommodating, and made everything easy for me, before and during the stay. The neighborhood offers lots of opportunities for dinning and entertainment. The room is not fancy, but functional. I am glad I stayed at Andrew's place."
1076941,46339240,2015-09-09,33379438,Charles,Andrew was a really great host. I had everything I needed and he made sure I was all set! Great host and a great price for quick stays in the city.
1076941,48255025,2015-09-24,18068282,Felix,"The guys were amazing and the place was super awesome! We had a great time, everything was close by, it was clean and comfy. All round super good experience."
1076941,48526850,2015-09-27,22280423,Paul,"Andrew is probably the nicest guy in Texas. Super enthusiastic, warm and welcoming. His house is a bit old but that does not have to be a problem. The room is a bit 'minimalistic'. A comfy bed and a quiet area helped us sleep very well. The bathroom seems pretty worn, but does the job. The cats are a nice bonus."
1076941,49978911,2015-10-08,39412647,Biomimicry,"Andrew is very nice and helpful.  He did let me feel like home.  My schedule in Austin was very tight and had long meeting almost everyday.  So a neat , comfort room and quiet time did help me a lot to regain my energy back.  Oh BTW, His cats are really cute!  I will definitely come back here if visit Austin. "
1076941,50440097,2015-10-12,38391903,Stefanie,"Andrew & Justin were great hosts, very accommodating & the place was clean. Loved the cat. It was close to a lot of things in austin. Overall Good experience "
1076941,51833716,2015-10-24,42767615,Tara,"We didn't get to meet Andrew, but he was communicative and helpful in setting up our stay and house access. He passed the torch on to Justin who made sure our arrival was seamless, was super easy going, and was helpful in suggesting places to eat and hang out. The house was ecclectic, cozy, and felt well loved. It might've had something to do with the friendliest cat in the universe. Great stay in a great house with great folks. P.S. East Austin was the coolest part of the city for us. We wandered around the city and got drawn back east, so this location is beyond ideal."
1076941,51885545,2015-10-25,36718079,David,"Andrew was out of town so his roommate, Justin, was around and held down the fort.  He was great!  His recommendations were on point and he was very helpful.  The house was clean and my room was very comfortable.  The location of the house is perfect were you can walk to nearby bars and restaurants or take a short Uber ride to downtown.  If you are looking for classy or upscale, then this is not your place.  But if you are looking for a centrally located cheap place to crash (since most of the time you are and should be exploring the city), then it is perfect.  Thanks!"
1076941,52611987,2015-10-31,20166532,Michael,Andrew and Justin were great hosts! Great laid back Austin vibe.  
5603007,28281980,2015-03-21,5156444,Frida,"Alexandra och Will var fantastiska människor som definitivt bidrog till en väldigt härlig vecka i Austin. 

De var flexibla med in- och utcheckning, mycket hjälpsamma och generösa med både prylar och tips om staden. 

Huset är charmigt och personligt. 

Om du vill ha ett avslappnat boende med vänliga människor rekommenderar jag dig definitivt att bo hos Alexandra och Will!"
343462,1006854,2012-03-17,1491941,Tara,Great little hideaway for SXSW! We enjoyed being so close to the action (20 minute bus ride or 12 minute cab ride) but having the quiet of a residential neighborhood. The studio was neat & simple -- exactly what we like.
343462,1013819,2012-03-18,424477,Elle,"I rented Rachels home as part of a work group outing for SXSW. I ended up not making it because I broke my foot but I can tell you in my dealings with her, she is extremely nice and was very helpful and accommodating. 
If my family were going out there, we'd stay there for sure."
343462,2203194,2012-09-04,3421543,Macarena,"Rachel and her kids were very nice. She was waiting for us with great !!chocolate croissants!! and the place is fantastic. There is a  backyard with games and many toys in the house. My 2 year old didnt want to go back, he said he liked Rachel's house more.... It is close to downtown and has enough space for kids and adults. Would definitely recommend it"
343462,2913590,2012-11-19,1265567,Denise,"we stayed in austin for the f1 event and rachels place was just a couple of minutes from where the shuttles to get to the event were. The place was cozy and clean and rachel left everything we needed there bc they were out of town. The place was described just as she said it was. There was even my husbands favorite beer in the fridge :). Even though rachel and her family weren't in town while we stayed we contacted her through email and she responded quickly! We asked for some recommendations of some restaurants and they were terrific, still craving parkside seafood restaurant. We would for sure stay here again when we come to austin again!"
343462,3335750,2013-01-12,4616240,Marty,"This studio location allowed us to see a side of Austin that we usually miss.  It was very spacious and had all the comforts of home.  The cute owl mugs, restaurant-row shower curtain, and unique wall decor made it fun and not too fussy.  Our boys appreciated the grand piano and basketball goal.  Rachel was able to accommodate us on very short notice and even made delicious cookies for us when we arrived. "
343462,3519645,2013-02-11,3004777,"Euijin, Nathan And Teo","We loved staying at Rachel's! The space is adorable and so kid friendly with fun things to do including a baby grand piano, an art easle, puzzles, books, toys and even a playground in the yard. Our son specially enjoyed being here and playing with the 'kidlets' especially Clementine. Rachel made really yummy cookies for us on arrival and was great with accommodating us with anything we needed! She worked with us on extending our stay extra 5 days each day as we discovered delays in my husbands work! We loved meeting the whole family and would stay here again! "
343462,3604569,2013-02-22,4391153,Cassandra,"Rachel was a wonderful hostess. The studio was very comfortable, kid-friendly, beautifully decorated and in a very central area of Austin. I would absolutely stay here again!"
343462,3832884,2013-03-19,4719774,Kayla,"Our small tech company was stuck with very few options for SXSW 2013, but Rachel came through for us. She fit five of us in the studio, and we all felt very comfortable in her gorgeous space.

We really loved our stay!"
343462,3948473,2013-03-30,5061757,Ana,We had a great time at Rachel's place.  The studio is comfortable and functional. Rachel and her family are so nice and welcoming.  My kids really enjoyed the backyard and all the toys and games in the house.  I cannot recommend this place enough.  
343462,4271194,2013-04-23,3627426,Vincent David,"Rachel is an excellent hostess.
available, sweet, hospitality.
my stay was excellent!
apartment clean, graceful and cosy!
We come back next year!
Thank you"
343462,4364461,2013-04-30,1606785,Becky,Rachel & Weylin's space was great! We visited Austin for a wedding and they were such hospitable hosts and we felt right at home in their spacious and cute back-house apartment. Would definitely stay again.
343462,4506691,2013-05-09,1865369,Vica,"Rachel is a great host. From the initial contact (very responsive) via a warm welcome (thanks for the cookies) to the great tips for our stay (she is available for questions, while giving you all the privacy you need). Beautiful studio, convenient, clean, our daughter loved the toys and the backyard and did not want to leave. We had a great time and would come back any time while visiting Austin. Thanks a lot Rachel and Family!"
343462,4747206,2013-05-23,6050774,Christopher,"We had a wonderful stay at the Lee's family friendly 1 bedroom in Austin.  This place is definitely a home away from home especially if you have little ones in tow.  Rachel was quick to respond and a great host. We loved her delicious homemade cookies. Our kids, aged 1 and 3, felt right at home with toys, books, art supplies, as well as play structure and sand table outside. The place is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished.  Rachel also suggested some great family friendly activities to do in Austin and well as places to eat!  We would definitely stay here again!"
343462,5682032,2013-07-11,7072777,Sandy,"I had a great time at Rachel's house!  First, I was excited to see what treat she would leave for us, since I'd noticed other reviews mentioning cookies.  We were delighted to arrive and find spice muffins with chocolate chips!  The apartment is a great space - great open, light atmosphere.  The kitchen is appointed enough that we made our own breakfast each morning, and dinner a few nights.  Rachel was kind enough to lend us a pot to cook spaghetti in as well!  Rachel was helpful, quick with communication, kind and welcoming.  The location is central/East - which makes it easy to get all over Austin.  I would recommend this apartment in a heartbeat!"
343462,5872440,2013-07-20,7072777,Sandy,Rachel was super flexible and accommodating when I had to extend my stay.  
343462,6210590,2013-08-04,4711955,Shauna,Everything was wonderful- we could not have asked for anything more! Rachel and her family were very welcoming and the studio had everything we needed!
343462,6880444,2013-08-28,1829016,Freya,Rachel and her place were super cute and awesome! We had such a lovely time even though it was very hot and humid out. The ACs worked like a charm and there were even our favorite La Croix waters for hydration. Rachel even baked us Pb choc chip potato chip cookies!!!! Thanks so much Rachel and hope to stay here next time we come visit again. 
343462,6981678,2013-09-02,3959117,Amanda,"This was our first time using Airbnb so I was little worried whether everything would actually turn out ok -- I ended up being pleasantly surprised!  We had a great time at Rachel's guest house. It was a very nice space -- so much nicer than any hotel we could have stayed at for the same price and it really was perfect for a family with young kids. The sofa pulled out into a bed just the right size and height for our almost 3 year old twins to sleep on and there were so many toys for them to play with! They were especially taken with the ride in car and gas pump. They spent hours riding back and forth and ""refiling"" the gas tank! It was a surprisingly large space and well laid out so the kids had plenty of space to play and burn some energy. There was also a play area outside which they used briefly but it was really too hot to do much outside. The kitchen was just the right size to fix breakfast and we could easily have made a simple lunch or dinner too if we'd been there longer. There were plastic plates, cups and utensils for the kids (and normal dishware for the adults) so I didn't have to worry about them accidentally breaking anything. There was even a small table and chairs so they had a comfortable place to sit and eat. Like I said, a perfect place for anyone traveling with young kids! The only complaint I had was the queen size bed in the bedroom was very firm... but I didn't notice that complaint in any of the other reviews I read so maybe it's just me. I do tend to prefer a soft mattress. Other than the bed, we were so impressed with the studio we definitely plan on staying at Rachel's again next time we're Austin! "
343462,7886686,2013-10-07,2438435,Jr,Get place! Everything we needed was there. We truly enjoyed our stay. 
343462,8127231,2013-10-16,8723414,Denitsa,"Fantastic host, impeccable place, adjusted to last minute booking with grace and generosity"
343462,8337591,2013-10-26,424007,Linda,"We LOVED Rachel and her husband's studio! It has everything you need to feel at home. The place was clean, beautifully decorated and it's in a super convenient location. 

Rachel and her family respected our privacy. We didn't see them except for when we had to check in/out. 

We highly recommend it! "
343462,8581028,2013-11-05,2874381,Camille,"Our stay at Rachel's was great. She was able to host us last minute which was so nice of her and made the stay thoroughly enjoyable. The flat is big, fully equipped, super calm, and a quick drive to the city center. It was the perfect place to rest and regroup!  We stayed three nights and totally felt at home. "
343462,8697234,2013-11-12,2211377,Elliott,"This was a great, affordable place to stay on the east side of Austin. My son loved that genre were lots of toys to play with and the space was clean, efficient and charming. Thanks!"
343462,8817965,2013-11-19,5278669,Danielle,"Rachel was a lovely host, flexible and easy to communicate with. We got some homemade treats on arrival. They were delicious and was a nice touch.
The studio is as described. It is not far from downtown by car. Overall we enjoyed our stay, except the bed was probably a bit too firm for us and on one of the nights the neighbors played music till about 3am... One thing to be mindful about is you are expected to empty the trash and remove all of the bedding and linen and put them in a basket before you leave. We had a 5am flight so we had to get up extra early to do this. It's not something we've done with any other Airbnb places so was a little unexpected. But first time for everything :)"
343462,9249758,2013-12-16,4723869,Joseph,"We had a great stay. The house is really close to the airport and downtown so it was very convenient. Rachel is a great, incredibly accommodating host -- fresh homemade Rice Krispie treats upon arrival! "
343462,9968742,2014-01-21,1832040,Stephanie,"We had a blast at Rachel's place. It was SUPER clean, quiet, and cute! I would recommend anyone to go there, especially if you have kiddos. My boys loved playing on their play ground and the toys inside the studio. Loved it!"
343462,10068247,2014-01-28,9585388,Vanessa,"Great hosts! Rachel is very warm and welcoming. There were yummy homemade cookies! The apartment is comfortable and VERY child friendly, great for small children. Also, even with the unusually chilly weather the concrete floors were warm. Would definitely return. "
343462,10172354,2014-02-03,5873044,Gabriel,"Our stay at Rachel's Studio was awesome! Communication was great and she was very accomodating.  Among the many highlights are the piano, the basketball court and the great coffee! "
343462,10426901,2014-02-18,11430066,Judith,"We had a wonderful weekend stay at Rachel's studio.  She was a very helpful host, and gave us leads on some great local places to eat.  We enjoyed the homey atmosphere of her studio.  She even left us cream puffs to enjoy when we arrived!  We'd definitely stay here again!!
"
343462,10560297,2014-02-24,12416697,Diego,"Rachel and family made us feel welcome in their home and respected our space as well.  A very accommodating host.  Our 18 month old son loved the child friendly atmosphere.  Anyone looking for a safe, quiet, and relaxing place to call home for a short while, look no further!"
343462,10695778,2014-03-03,3248237,Katrijn,Perfect location to visit Austin with a small family!
343462,11157419,2014-03-23,1747839,Desirae,Rachel is a fantastic host! We loved the artistic atmosphere and all the contemporary family-friendly amenities. Our only regret is not booking sooner so we could have stayed here for our entire trip to Austin. Wonderful people; We will most definitely book again.
343462,11221543,2014-03-25,4018670,Hazel,"Rachel was a great host. The place was very comfortable and it was close to all the neat spots in Austin. I would definitely stay here again!

"
343462,11572588,2014-04-07,9079921,Brittany,"The studio was extremely close to where I was working. I didn't plan it that way but I got lucky. It was also really great that parking was covered as there isn't much street parking and the neighborhood kids tend to be playing out on the street. Great spot for families. The studio was very clean and quiet. Also, thanks for the cookies, Rachel! "
343462,11794895,2014-04-15,4556700,Mikhaela,"Rachel and family were just fantastic hosts all around. They made us feel welcome and cared for even before we arrived, and were very helpful and responsive during our stay. 

The studio (more an apartment, since the bedroom is separate) was just GORGEOUS and every little detail was arranged with an artistic eye, from the art on the walls to the dishcloths and dishes and sheets and well, pretty much everything. Honestly, we are artists ourselves but after staying here we felt inspired to refresh our own home decor!

It was also a perfect place to stay as a family, as there were so many toys and an outdoor playground that kept my three-year-old very busy.

The little kitchen was perfect--we cook all our own food because of my daughter's food allergies, and we were even able to bake some loaves of bread in the little oven.

The location turned out to be excellent as well—not really in close walking distance of anything (though there was a grocery store we walked to about 3/4 mile away before we got our car rental) but a very short drive to downtown and all the sights."
343462,11881170,2014-04-18,215281,David,"What a great place! And perfect for us with two young children (Frank 7 and George 4). Well equipped with everything we needed and more.  Lots of space inside and outside for them to play, including a fab outdoor play area with swings and slide - made our lives so much easier as a family. Rachel was on hand with lots of info and v. helpful with everything. Being a bit further out of town was good for it being a nice and quiet neighbourhood and relaxed, and also good for running as the roads are quiet round here and it can get hilly going north up Springdale Rd. We had a car and so it was easy to get anywhere from here (about a 10-minute drive into the centre of town outside of rush-hour), but you'd need bikes to get around or there are buses nearby otherwise."
343462,12071404,2014-04-22,4806707,Jasmin,"We stayed at Rachel's studio for 3 nights. 
We loved it for the following reasons:
Perfect and spacious for our toddler - especially appreciated Rachel's personalisation of toys specific to our toddlers age. Lots of room inside the studio with lots of toys, child friendly cleaning floors (no carpet) and a great jungle gym and sandpit outside which was well used.

Funky space. Nice touch with menus of favourite eats attached to the shower curtain. The place had everything we needed with a well equipped kitchen. The bedroom was a good size with enough space to fit a travel cot, although the bed mattress was a little firmer than I'm used to, but that's all personal preference really.

Great communication with Rachel - she was quick to respond to any questions and made suggestions on where to go for local laundry which we appreciated. Really prompt.

Loved the delicious cookies that we received on arrival, home made thatorning.

It's not hugely central it's def in the burbs but it's not a long drive to downtown around 10mins, maybe less. 

Recommend! Would definitely return.

Thanks Rachel and family for accommodating us :-) "
343462,14291832,2014-06-16,15531300,Suah,"Beautiful home and family! Very sincere and always made herself available whenever we had any questions. Would stay at her studio again in a heartbeat. 

(Cookies were absolutely delicious)"
343462,18365350,2014-08-25,7073098,Katherine,"The studio is exactly as described on the listing page and photos. Lovely house with a great piano, big backyard and a cozy ambiance. The place was very clean and Rachel greeted us with delicious cookies. I would recommend this as a place to stay because of the value for the price. It's also in a great location with a short drive to many restaurants, coffee shops and places to explore. "
343462,18774031,2014-08-31,6757469,Andrew,Rachel was a great host. She quickly replied to my questions and her house was a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood. I will defintely stay at her place when I visit Austin.
343462,18855431,2014-09-01,19496992,Ashwath,"Place was was very pretty, charming and cozy. We absolutely loved staying there.  "
343462,19239638,2014-09-08,20742247,Michael,"Rachel's place was our first experience with Airbnb, and what a lovely introduction it was.  We were looking for lodging not too far from the airport or downtown Austin, and also not too far from parks and other attractions for our four-year-old son.  The first two conditions were met with no problem, and moreover we were delighted to find that Rachel had filled the apartment with cool toys and decorations that her own kids enjoyed.  There was also a playscape in the backyard for the use of guests.  Our son was massively entertained.  There was almost no reason to go out, and he cried when it was time for us to leave because he was having so much fun!

Rachel had thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with basic staples like coffee, rice, pasta, hot cereal, oil, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper.  There is a big Latino market a two-minute drive away, so I went there the night we arrived to get things like eggs, bread, and cheese, and we were all set for our breakfasts and lunches.  Also--a great boon to weary grown-up travelers--there was beer in the fridge and a few bottles of wine on the shelves that Rachel told us to avail ourselves of.

Other nice features:

Good air-conditioning (important in Austin!)

Shaded carport (also important)

Beautiful piano in the main room

Did I mention the excellent toys and funky decorations?!  :-)

One last thing that shows Rachel's kindness.  She is a member of the local children's museum, and she took time out to drive there with us one morning and admit us as her guests for free.  Our son stayed for four hours (!) playing at all the different activity stations.  For her to do that was really above and beyond.

You can bet that when we next visit Austin and need a place to stay, we'll be contacting Rachel--and we'll be telling our friends!

343462,20047821,2014-09-22,7592021,Morgan,Our kids loved this place!  Rachel is such a gracious host - we rolled in to town at midnight to find fresh-baked cookies waiting for us in the kitchen.  This will be our first choice as a place to stay for all our future visits.
343462,20444141,2014-09-29,11771901,Franchely,"We arrived in the home greeted by Rachel, her family and fresh baked cookies. Rachel was very helpful with any questions that we had. The location was near downtown and just about a 10-15 minute drive. We used uber and lyft to get around and it was very convenient."
343462,20827954,2014-10-06,10502091,Dw,"There are some great things about this listing, and some not-so-great things. All-in-all I'll give it three stars, and here are my reasons:

First the great: Rachel is very pleasant and easy to work with, and left us fresh-baked cookies for our arrival. What's not to love about that! There was also wine and coffee in the kitchen already, which was really nice. The space is cute and has a lot of character, the piano is fully functional, and the yard is perfect for tossing a ball around, kids' play, or just sitting on the swing on a beautiful day. Also, I'll reiterate what some reviews say - the title says ""studio"", but the bedroom has a door and is separate from the sizable living space. All in all, this makes for a great place.

But now, for the not-so-great: the bed could be a lot more comfortable. I've certainly slept in worse places, but my and my girlfriend's sleep suffered from discomfort through the night. A pillow top would help immensely.

Also, the part of town can be a bit shady. I hear East Austin is slowly gentrifying, but when you drive around the neighborhood, you can tell it certainly isn't there yet. We felt safe the whole time, but still nearby parts could be dicey. This also wasn't perfect for us for circumstantial reasons. We were 4 adults going to ACL fest, and it's a fairly decent distance (and expensive taxi/Uber ride) to downtown from the house, so we had to drive everywhere. So that's not a true ding against the place, but something worth considering.

So, all-in-all I give it three stars. I would recommend it depending on your own circumstances, but couldn't recommend it if you a) need a comfortable bed or b) plan to spend most of your time in-town."
343462,21207585,2014-10-13,17578405,Raul,Thank you Rachel for making me and roommates feel welcomed into your home. We loved the space. Especially all the artwork! And thanks again for the best cookies I have ever had. 
343462,21597769,2014-10-20,21317341,Bjarne,Our stay with Rachel and her family have been a very pleasant experience.The family has been incredibly helpful and have helped us in some situations actually had nothing with our stay to do. Thanks a lot. The place is about half an hour by bus from Austin downtown and the neighborhood is quiet and you a good insight into daily life in Austin. Great warm recommendations from family Jørgensen.
343462,21950906,2014-10-27,19038471,Emily,"Rachel was a gracious host & made our stay very comfortable & easy. Traveling out of state (California) for the first time with our 6 month old was less stressful because of Rachel & family's accommodations (she let us use a Pac-n- Play,  stroller, etc so wecould travel light). This studio is very spacious with high ceilings & great art & funky- fun decor.  Very quiet & close to the airport & 10 mins from downtown. A really great space for a small family.  Thank you so much for a wonderful visit to Austin, Rachel! "
343462,22358454,2014-11-04,20669248,Ernesto,"Un lugar con excelente ubicacion para el centro de Austin.  En 5 min llegamos al centro.  Rachel fue muy amable con nosotros y nos preparo unas galletas y un cafe recien molido, riquisimo!  
El apartamento muy limpio y todo en excelente orden.  Definitivamente regresaremos otra vez!
"
343462,23197386,2014-11-24,7593648,Neil,Our experience at this property was amazing.  We were greeted by the owner when we arrived and had fresh homemade cookies waiting for us (they were great!).  They had tons of cool toys that kept our 4 year-old (and even me) occupied with hours of fun while we were there.  I'd recommend staying here to anyone!
343462,23445472,2014-12-01,680131,Alyssa,"This very cozy apartment was perfect for our family holiday vacation.  We loved the special treat welcoming us upon our arrival and appreciated Rachel checking-in with us to make sure we had arrived safely.  The apartment had all the basic amenities we needed for our long weekend, and a kitchen stocked with coffee was an added bonus!  We felt safe and secure in the apartment and neighborhood.  Rachel & her adorable family were very caring, gracious hosts.  If I lived in Austin, I would want to be a part of their bike gang. :)"
343462,26096931,2015-02-03,16172528,Tara,"Apartment was as described...roomy, clean, complete with a playground and toys for my daughter. Rachel was very welcoming and accommodating, even helping us find local things to do with our daughter. When small issues arose (out of her control) she was quick to fix the problem. I would recommend her as a host to anyone, and will return ourselves. The only negative Is the neighborhood...at no time did I feel unsafe by any means, it is just the neighborhood is a bit untidy. "
343462,26690761,2015-02-17,26213524,Javariah,"The apartment was easy to find, had a designated parking spot for us, we were able to come and go as we pleased, it was clean and attractive, and Rachel was absolutely wonderful! It was located close to many Austin attractions (not more than a 15 minute drive), and the neighborhood wasn't too difficult to navigate. "
343462,26948649,2015-02-22,3243615,Inna,"This place was perfect for our family vacation getaway with small kids.  The size of the apartment is perfect for a family - with a separate bedroom for the adults, and large fold-out couch for the kids.  The toys and the playground in the back was perfect for us, allowing us to get ready for the day in the mornings while the kids played.  The location was great - close to great eateries, easy access to the airport and highways for all the Austin and nearby attractions.  Rachel was very response and helpful with neighborhood suggestions and making sure we are comfortable in the apartment.  I highly recommend staying here!"
343462,27502706,2015-03-06,27379412,Marcos,"Great experience, excellent and kind host, made us feel right at home. There were a few home baked cookies for us when we arrived.  The place was clean, with lot's of toys and activities for the children. We traveled with a 5 and 2 yr old kids and they loved it.  There is no TV, but that was a big plus for us,  there was so much to do.  Backyard is also a great space for the kids, with a playset. Location is close to downtown and airport. "
343462,27660990,2015-03-09,19840484,Jessica,This was the most amazing space. It made traveling with our children SO MUCH easier. They are still asking to go back to the 'Austin apartment'. I was there on a work trip and my hubby was left to manage both children for three days on his own and this could not have been more perfect! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
343462,27773362,2015-03-11,14939519,Rachel,"My three friends and I spent 2 nights at this very cute place in Austin, TX. The space was very cute, clean, and nice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Rachel welcomed us with mini brownies, that were delicious. She explained all of the house rules to us, providing a binder of specific instructions and additional information. My favorite part was the suggested restaurants, including their menus on the shower curtain. Such a cute idea! Also, loved staying a little outside the city, so we didn't have to worry about parking. It's just a 10-15 ride to the city! We took uber a few times, which was just $10 a trip. Checking out was incredibly easy, and there were no problems at all. Highly recommend this place! "
343462,28679790,2015-03-28,13163111,David,We loved staying at Rachel's house. She was very gracious and her place was very welcoming. Thank you again.
343462,29284906,2015-04-06,13848534,Andrew,"Despite being a bit jet lagged when we got there, Rachel greeted us with lots of humor and brownies. The space was bigger than we thought and our kids fell in love with the basketball net right outside the door. The apartment is a bit on the eastern edge of Austin which wasn't always super practical but allowed us to bump in to some great gems in the eastside (like the fusebox festival) every time we came home."
343462,29615100,2015-04-10,1639671,Amy,"I don't think you'll find a better place to stay in Austin if you have small children with you. Whether or not you have kids, Rachel's place was perfect, very modern and clean. Great location near east Austin's restaurants, bars, unique shops, etc. Rachel and her family made us feel welcome but gave us space to enjoy our stay. "
343462,29972817,2015-04-15,28024720,Thuy,"Rachel was very quick to respond and very welcoming. Unfortunately, I kept missing her. My friends were visiting from out of town, so the only time we were actually at the apartment was when we were sleeping. Everything was nice and clean. "
343462,30296368,2015-04-20,12581831,Matt,EXCELLENT!!! Perfect place for a family with children!
343462,30782908,2015-04-27,8866540,Corinne,Wonderful space. Easy to get to most places in Austin from this location. Hosts were very welcoming! Would definitely stay here again.
343462,31872995,2015-05-11,19731573,Kayla,"I have been to Austin a couple times in previous years, and will definitely be returning again! Rachel and her family have a very homely and comfortable home for anyone staying and is extremly kid friendly. She offered lots of great places in the East side area to go check out so it was cool to see a different part of Austin then I had previously seen. There was everything a guest would need in the apartment, and very well kept with a nice little backyard. I would strongly recommended this place, if you're looking for a home away from home for a few days! Thanks Rachel!"
343462,32107899,2015-05-14,7590836,Aliyah,"Rachel was an amazing host. I planned a trip to Austin for a reunion with some friends, but things didn't work out with all the tornadoes up north and one of my friends was unable to come. I was really bummed,  but through it all Rachel was great. Let us know about cool places to go and even dropped us off at the airport.  If it wasn't for her awesome southern hospitality I feel the trip would have been a real bust. I'd totally be down to stay at her place again. :)"
343462,32559356,2015-05-19,247782,Christina,"Rachel's cozy studio was perfect for our short stay in Austin, tucked away on a quiet street but only a few minutes drive from downtown. Rachel was a perfect host, greeting us warmly upon arrival (with delicious cookies!) and giving us great recommendations for places to visit. The studio was stocked with everything we needed, plus more. We'd love to come back again and stay for a longer time!"
343462,32947873,2015-05-23,29933154,Feargal,"Rachel’s place was great, especially if you have young children. Rachel couldn't have been more helpful. We would have stayed on longer if the place had been available. Would recommend it without any reservations."
343462,33900691,2015-06-02,10868879,Betsy,Rachel was a wonderful host. The space was exactly as listed.
343462,34820086,2015-06-12,24011414,Rachel,"We extremely love Rachel's place. She is very sweet that made us treats welcome our arrival. The place is cozy, comfortable and clean, we feel like home. We also love the backyard.. spent our afternoon summer chill on the swing :) Thanks for hosting us, definitely stay at your place next time we come to Austin. "
343462,35158682,2015-06-15,33218848,Chris,We had an excellent time exploring Austin for two nights while staying at Rachel's apartment. Rachel and her husband were super accommodating and welcoming when we arrived (we loved the cookies they made for us...). They were also very accessible to our questions before we arrived and throughout our stay. The space itself was perfect for us. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and a safe place for our car to park. The rooms were quiet and comfortable. We had no problems getting out and around the city from the apartment. Everything was under ~15 minutes drive. Overall we had an excellent stay at Rachel's apartment. We wouldn't hesitate about staying here again if we came through Austin.
343462,35515435,2015-06-19,28129924,Jeanne,"We enjoyed our brief overnight stay at Rachel's place. The various artistic and modern collections of wall art and interiors illustrate urbane capriciousness. Communication was efficient and seamless with Rachel even though she was out of town. Her husband, Weylan, assisted us in her absence. He was pleasant, helpful, and greeted and oriented us in person. Thanks for the cold beer! It was a treat after our long drive in from Carlsbad, NM."
343462,37456498,2015-07-07,1803128,Lena,"Rachel and Weylin were great -- Rachel got in touch in advance to let me know how to contact Weylin to coordinate arrival, and it was all super easy! Their home is beautiful and spacious, and the meyer lemon shortbread cookies were a HUGE hit. Would absolutely stay here again! "
343462,40872816,2015-08-02,7113843,Lindsay,"We enjoyed our stay at Rachel's place. We were grateful she accommodated us for a last-minute, 1-night stay. 

Rachel's place was clean, comfortable, and quiet. It is obvious she and her family have put a lot of thought into making sure their guests have an enjoyable stay. We would stay here again."
343462,41230752,2015-08-05,37187817,Estelle,Rachel and Weylin were friendly and very helpful with suggestions on where to eat in Austin. The apartment was perfect for our 4 day stay. Clean and neat and had everything we needed. It was 10 mins to downtown Austin. So convenient to all the restaurants and shopping we wanted to do. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin.
343462,45214288,2015-08-31,42642428,Alex,"Rachel's charming home was the perfect place in the beautiful Austin area for my girlfriend, friend and I to stay while we recharged our batteries midway through our cross-country road trip. It was our first time visiting the city, and we had a wonderful experience. Our hosts graciously received us and accommodated our late arrival during the week. They also provided wonderful coffee and morning snacks to help us through our mornings. The house was very clean and comfortable, with beautiful, unique, artistic decorations on every wall. The air conditioning was a lifesaver at the end of August in Texas.
The area of East Austin was ideal. It is very family friendly and quiet. We easily commuted around town to all the best food trucks and bars in the area, as well as the Barton Springs pool and Mount Bonnell. Even when we weren't driving, a quick Uber, Lyft or cab ride would take us into the heart of downtown Austin for sight-seeing. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Austin and I would definitely stay here again. "
343462,49612963,2015-10-05,29180740,Nyssa,Rachel's little studio was a perfect stay for my friends and I. We came for ACL and it was a quick uber ride to the park. Rachel was extremely welcoming and was very accommodating setting up room for 6 people. I would definitely recommend staying here! 
343462,50313045,2015-10-11,43298483,Abigail,"The place was amazing! Stayed here for a girls weekend in Austin and had a fantastic time. Rachel made us feel so comfortable and right at home. We never met her, but her instructions for the house were so clear that we didn't need any extra help. The shampoo and conditioner already in the shower were a nice touch because we all forgot ours! Also, Rachel baked us pumpkin chocolate chip vegan muffins that were so delicious. The weekend at the house was completely perfect and I will definitely try to stay here again if the opportunity comes up. "
343462,50624555,2015-10-13,2530613,Dawn,"Rachel and co. were awesome hosts. I brought my daughter and two friends to Austin to celebrate her 13th birthday. Rachel welcomed us with homemade vegan pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. The apartment was lovely and the girls had a great time playing the piano all weekend. Rachel gave us wonderful suggestions for restaurants, thrift shops, music stores - everything a teen would love to see and do in Austin.  We used Uber all weekend and never had to worry about finding parking.  A week later, the girls are still talking about Ms. Rachel's place and all the fun they had! Highly recommend staying here "
343462,51265685,2015-10-19,35167022,Susan,"In a formerly very modest neighborhood that is rapidly transforming to much higher income levels. 
Host was welcoming.  Place was clean and very quiet.  Could not even hear the family in the house.  Incredible soundproofing between the 1 bedroom and the rest of the space. 
Only complaint: the bed and sofa bed were too firm, uncomfortable for us. "
6895470,52029699,2015-10-25,46794551,Ray,"Melissa and Pat were awesome hosts. I would stay with them again in a heartbeat. They made me feel more than welcome, and I can't wait for them to visit San Francisco so I can return the hospitality :) If I am ever in Austin again, I know who to call! Thanks guys, you made my visit great."
5213041,28127561,2015-03-18,9043995,John,"I really enjoyed my stay at Joanna's cozy apartment. It was the perfect escape from the chaos of SXSW and had everything I needed. While it's not in the center of the city, this is a plus as it's still only a short cab ride (or bike ride!) away from most major destinations. I'd recommend this spot to anyone - particularly during SXSW."
5213041,28312104,2015-03-22,10005379,Melanie,"The communication with Joanna was perfect. She answered all my questions at once. We had a wonderful time in her cozy Appartment during SXSW. She prepared everything wonderful for us.
And the area is really quiet... so the perfect Location to relax from the festival.
And it is really easy to reach by Public Transport ... even at Night. 
We didn't get the chance to meet... But Thanks you!"
5372075,27309773,2015-03-01,28355866,Kook,"Booking this apartment was quick and very easy. It looked cozy and pretty. In general it's hard to find a bad location in Austin, but this one was central to everywhere you would want to reach. There was almost no traffic around the city except for rush hour.  I was the first one to stay in this property from airbnb, and seemed like things were still in work, but all the essentials were there to make our stay comfortable and cozy. The host was very friendly and far more generous than your usual airbnb host. He set up a brand new TV and made sure the house had wifi before we arrived, which was very kind. I have no doubt that once finished, this apartment will be a perfect getaway stay for a group of friends or couples.  There are many great eateries around, and the host made a lot of really good recommendations. There was also a lot of sleeping space, much more than expected, which was incredibly useful for me and my friends. Perhaps the only downside was that even though this apartment is a non-smoking apartment, the neighbors appear to smoke and the smell sometimes carries over into this apartment. Overall, the stay here was really enjoyable and I would recommend this place to others. "
5372075,28336327,2015-03-22,28683186,Eclass1914,Had a great time at his property. Very well manage and easy to talk too.Hopefully we can do business again.
5372075,29712660,2015-04-11,30775349,Diego,JuanCarlos was very generous and accommodating. The location of the loft was perfect for the night that we were in Austin. With Highway 35 being so close it made the trip into downtown and back home quick and easy. The location of the loft is not in a Beverly Hills part of town if that's what your looking for. I'm not from Austin and nor am I really familiar with the City but I can say that it seems like the loft is in an old part of the town. I did not have any problems with the location or felt scared for my life. As my first experience with Airbnb I would recommend JuanCarlos and this location. 
5372075,29807128,2015-04-12,19349189,Jacob,"Pros:  Pretty easy to drive to downtown or south to San Antonio or New Braunfels without hitting major traffic.  The place was clean, and he left us some good snacks and coffee in the fridge.  He also was very accommodating for a 1 day notice booking.

Cons:  For ~$250/night with 4 people, it wasn't a very good deal.  The shower door didn't close, the balcony door wouldn't lock, and the dishwasher was broken.  The balcony overlooked some really run down houses/yards, and the complex itself was pretty run down.  I'd also don't think you could fit 8 people here like it says in the description."
5372075,30221650,2015-04-19,593185,Kristen,"Our stay was great, and everything at the apartment was as expected. Communication was fast, check-in was easy, and the bed was comfortable. We were traveling with our one-year-old, and just in case it helps another Airbnb-er, our portable crib fit perfectly in the closet upstairs next to our bed. It made things a little easier at bedtime. It's not super child-friendly (not the fault of the host, certainly!) but we made it work. The apartment is up three flights of exterior stairs and the stairs up to the loft are a bit steep. The bathroom is perhaps a low point: not luxurious, but not gross. Juan Carlos left breakfast things, coffee, and wine in the fridge: so thoughtful. We had a nice home base for a quick weekend trip to Austin and enjoyed ourselves: thanks so much!"
5372075,30352589,2015-04-20,13796898,Erik,"Great place to stay and work at while in Austin - very clean, cozy and nestled on the third floor of a quiet complex.  JuanCarlos saw to my friend and mine's needs while there but also gave us plenty of space to work.  Complex was easy to find and there was plenty of parking to use on the weekend.  Recommended host and place!"
5372075,30839408,2015-04-27,29957055,Jenny,We had a great stay at JuanCarlos' loft. It was clean and safe and he was super nice. We never got to meet him but he responded to our messages quickly and made sure we knew about things to do around Austin. 
5372075,32013510,2015-05-12,31816199,Alejandro,"Everything was great. Cool place, well located, clean pool and different restaurants and shops around the place.  Carlos is a good host. Dont doubt to stay there."
5372075,32602205,2015-05-19,3492718,Koen,"We had a great stay in the apartment of juan, although we did not meet him in person.

The apartment itself was spacious, but a bit dark. The main bed is very comfortable and the shower with LED lights is cool. Although the apartment (and the building) is a bit outdated and has some not so well maintained aspects, it has anything you will need. One bike was unfortunately not working at the time of our visit, and also the wifi was down for 2 out of 4 days.

The apartments location is ok, located near the highway and near downtown austin, however a car is recommended, or use of public transport will be required. "
5372075,32931360,2015-05-23,22351908,Katie,"Juan Carlos was a great host! He was informative, clean, and generous. We didn't have a long stay, but it was close enough to downtown so that we could have a quick drive to any of austin's eclectic sights! It was also very private and comfortable. recommend him and his loft to anyone! Thanks Juan Carlos!"
5372075,33160147,2015-05-25,6242603,Lei,Juan's place is an awesome place. My friends and I had a great time there. It is about 7minutes driving to downtown. It is comfortable and quiet.  I would like to recommend this place if people come to Austin. I really enjoy this apartment.
5372075,35048500,2015-06-14,34589681,David,"Great place, just as described. Close to downtown, coffee shop in the corner was awesome. Tubing trip was a great one will def think about staying here again! Thanks! "
5372075,35871125,2015-06-22,3742046,Todd,JC's loft was just what I needed for the trip.  It's location is great.  Minutes to 6th St yet just far enough for some peace and quite.  The loft is very quite for an older complex.  JC wasn't able to meet us but was quick to respond by text or email.  
5372075,36398442,2015-06-28,33136243,Anita,"The loft is extremely close to downtown. It only took about 10 mins to get into the heart of Austin. I loved the space. It was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I. I could take a nap upstairs and he had the downstairs to read/watch TV. The log is also mildly secluded. So you never felt like there were prying eyes into your space. The apartment complex was easy to find and very close to late night food options. Perfect for after drinks in the city. Juan was not able to meet us but there was a key lock box where he explained and everything else was self explanatory. Overall, we would both stay here again. We are planning on visiting next year and we would book this place in a heartbeat. "
5372075,37025624,2015-07-03,17787108,Melissa,"This place was exactly as described. Close to soco and downtown (super convenient), yet quiet and peaceful. Comfy bed and couches too!"
5372075,37414739,2015-07-06,4239753,Lauren,My host was great. Very understanding and great place. Thinking of going back again. Will definitely request an book. Downtown is literally 7-10 minutes away depending where you heading. 
5372075,39780497,2015-07-26,18513757,Joe,"Juan Carlos' loft is the perfect Austin experience. Enjoy the beautiful city from the comfort of this private loft (and the pool doesn't hurt either!). Everything was clean, well maintained, and Juan Carlos was helpful and communicative. The Loft comes highly recommended. "
5372075,41166648,2015-08-04,32550127,Cody,Very clean loft. Just as described. Great location and easy to get to. Would rent again. 
5372075,42418760,2015-08-13,30364180,Luna,We enjoyed our stay at the loft! it was a perfect size for 2 of us and it had a great pool. Juan Carlos even left us a complementary bottle of wine. 
5372075,42927732,2015-08-16,10899053,George,"Had a great time, Carlos was very friendly and shared so many recommendations to make our trip awesome."
5372075,43335806,2015-08-18,41504313,Andrea,"Juan was kind and outgoing, and upon arrival he offered several spots to eat and things to do nearby. The loft was very clean, has most of the basic necessities and some really cool aspects-plenty of chargers for electronics, some docking stations for your iphone/ipod and a LED shower head. Juan was easy to get in contact with when I had any questions and was very accommodating! I would definitely stay here again, however, I do have one issue with this listing. I'm not sure if there is more space somewhere behind a locked door...but there is only one bedroom and one actual bed. The living room has a fold down futon..so I suppose that could make 2 beds. But fitting 7 people in here would be impossible! Aside from that, for a couple the loft is very comfortable and welcoming, as is the host!"
5372075,44052339,2015-08-23,41655727,Sean,Our stay in ATX way great thanks in part to JuanCarlos. The pictures of the loft don't do it justice! The neighbors were quiet and the kitchen and bathroom were clean. I would definitely stay here again!
5372075,44870345,2015-08-29,39699907,Jessica,This was a fantastic trip! Juan Carlos did everything he could to make it feel like home!!! The place was very inviting with all the extras someone could possibly need!!! His hospitality was first class!
5372075,46047633,2015-09-07,42610037,Monica,"Though we were unable to meet JuanCarlos, he was very efficient at communicating with me and making sure I felt welcome regardless. The loft is just as described and pictured. It was clean and the bed was very comfortable, the simple amenities and the smart TV were a nice touch. The location was very convenient and was almost always within 10 minutes of anywhere we wanted to go. I would definitely recommend this loft and would stay here again when I return to Austin,"
5372075,47666526,2015-09-21,2649281,Jason,"JuanCarlos goes above and beyond. Perfect place to catch some zzzz's, get in a refreshing swim, and relax on the patio. Very quite."
5372075,48664528,2015-09-27,33976109,Adam,Came to Austin to ride bicycles and relax. My friend and I had an amazing time and Juan Carlos place was simply amazing. It was very clean and organized. I would highly recommend staying here and it's only a $10 uber ride to get to downtown district. The complex the loft is in is very quite and relaxing. 
5372075,51351556,2015-10-19,18691090,Adam,It was a wonderful place to stay! Exactly like it looks.
5372075,52981019,2015-11-03,32013916,Anna,"Comfortable place to stay for a week in Austin!  Close access to the city (10 min drive) but rental car was a must.  The place is as-described in the listing, and Juan Carlos is easy to communicate with! "
996332,10952067,2014-03-14,2512009,Sujey,"Susanna was quick to respond, and very clear and communicative. Her place was stunning and it was a real treat. We were lucky to find something so perfect and last minute for sxsw. Thank you for being so gracious! "
996332,11030205,2014-03-17,12750910,Tom,"Lovely house! Amazing hosts, made me feel very welcome. I was in town for SXSW, so didn't spend as much time there as I would have liked. They provided me info about the area, and some good restaurants in the immediate area. Highly recommended."
996332,11163562,2014-03-23,3441935,James,"Susanna's home is beautifully designed and has the aura of tranquil respite.  It was an absolute pleasure to stay with her during my excursion to Austin.  It's perfectly located for a short walk to Congress St. and only minutes away from other areas of town via bus.  Susanna made some great recommendations for local dining to top things off.  If you love a good cup of Vietnamese coffee as much as I do, you'll be happy to know Elizabeth's is just around the corner.  If you're looking for place in Austin, I highly recommend Susanna's."
996332,11552669,2014-04-07,13191892,Steven,"We had a wonderful stay.  Susanna and Richard  were gracious and attentive hosts. Their home is beautiful and the room very comfortable. Susanna was most helpful offering a an extensive list of local restaurants and attractions many of which are within a short walking distance. We found the SOCO neighborhood interesting, eclectic and diverse. Given the opportunity, we would be pleased to stay with here again. "
996332,12028848,2014-04-21,4112706,Luc,Amazing host and a beautiful setting. Ideally located to take in the SoCo area and Susanna is the perfect host. Utterly welcoming and went out of her way to make us feel at home. Highly recommended!
996332,12584100,2014-05-05,4643964,Cordelia,a blissful get-away from Houston
996332,14694556,2014-06-24,9539227,Marilynn,"My vacation experience at this home exceeded my expectations.  ""Oasis"" is an apt description.  I felt welcomed and safe.  All my needs were promptly accommodated.  The location is wonderful (I happened to be walking distance from my son's apt.); lots of good restaurants and entertainment nearby.  I would highly recommend this listing!  "
996332,16321486,2014-07-25,679325,Gabriel,"Me and my girlfriend rented the room in Austin for one week. The house is newly built and designed by Susanna's son who is an architect. The house is beautifully decorated with a nice art collection. It has a beautiful garden and a nice pool which you can step directly outside to from the room that they rent out. Susanna and her husband were very nice and helpful to us. They invited us to dinner once and we also hung out a bit by the pool sometimes. 

One of the reason being in Austin was to promote my music and their house in South Austin was a perfect place to be in. Close to Downtown and close to among other South Congress where there is a large concentration of bars and resturants.  "
996332,16856698,2014-08-03,18142675,Mike,Beautiful home in a fantastic neighborhood. We were able to walk to great restaurants and shops. Susanna was very friendly and accommodating. We had a great stay!
996332,17021118,2014-08-05,18950010,Erica,"This is a very sunny and bright place.  The front of the house looks like it came straight out of a ""modern living"" magazine; in fact, the entire house appears to be something featured in such a publication.

The room, itself, though not large, felt roomy and spacious due to the furniture selection and huge sliding glass door that over looked a green landscape with little rubber duckies chilling by the saltwater pool.  I felt as if I were outside with the comfort of the indoors and cool place to lie down, where I barely had to use the ceiling fan because the temperature and I got along great.  The skylight in the bathroom and dual rain-like shower heads are a real treat.  I was spoiled by all of the natural light and none of the heat, and ample closet space to stash all of the clothes that I had taken that I didn't need.

I actually have a hard time getting a full night's sleep in places other than my own home, but I did just that and more amidst the gentle purring of the geothermal wall system and overall peacefulness of the residence.  At least I did when I wasn't swooning over Jamie Bamber on Law and Order UK.

And Susanna is a very sweet lady and great host, easy to converse with, thorough with any explanations concerning the room and residence, and readily able to give suggestions on neat neighborhood eats, treats, and shops, but she is also very respectful of one's privacy and wish to ""hide"" (it was my staycation).

In the case that I need to run away from life without running too far, I will definitely request to stay here again."
996332,17693003,2014-08-16,7848058,Kobi,"Susanna and Richard are both lovely, kind and interesting people to stay with and learn from. I could find both company and time for myself when I wanted. The house itself is beautiful and convenient, as well is the neighborhood. Food trucks and public transport nearby. Downtown is 30 minutes walk or cycle distance. Highly recommended."
996332,19565989,2014-09-14,20949401,Nathan,"We loved our first Air BnB experience thanks to our gracious hostess Susanna. Our room was just as described in the profile and the setting was even more impressive in person. I feel like we got to stay in a very unique and well designed living space. We definitely recommend this private room because of the great location, tranquil setting, and the helpful recommendations as to the local eateries. We had some great food all within walking distance of Susanna's lovely home.  My wife and I especially enjoyed the natural light in our room and bathroom, and the dip in the salt water pool was sublime. I can go on and on about how pleasant and easy going our stay was, but you really need to experience it yourself. Thank you Susanna!"
996332,20122512,2014-09-23,5317493,Miriam,"Susanna and her husband were such gracious hosts! Our room was very comfortable / tidy / well equipped and had a great vibe with views of their perfectly manicured backyard and salt-water pool. Not only is their home spectacular, but they welcomed us with open arms and smiles from ear to ear. We could tell they truly enjoy sharing their space and experiences with visitors. A unique experience and a must-stay! Highly recommended! "
996332,20810471,2014-10-06,14587954,Melanie,"Although Susanna and her husband were out of town while we stayed in the home, they had a lovely friend welcome us and ensured we were comfortable and knew where to find anything we'd need. The space is hip and modern, yet cozy as well. We loved all the natural light in the room and en suite. The neighborhood is charming, with many dining options within walking distance. We were visiting for Austin City Limits, and we walked to Zilker Park (where the bands perform) each day with ease. The hills in the area made for a nice little workout and made me wish I'd brought my running shoes. I'd highly recommend this space to any of my friends traveling to Austin."
996332,21437037,2014-10-17,4897113,Susan,Susanna made us feel very welcome in her home and she communicated with us well and frequently.

We enjoyed our stay and plan to return to Susanna's place the next time we are in Austin. 
996332,21559916,2014-10-19,1970867,Jason,"Susanna & Richard are friendly hosts. Their retreat is peaceful and refreshing, and they were able to accommodate our late arrival. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the modern, private bathroom suite. I will stay with them again next time we visit!"
996332,21879235,2014-10-26,8013696,Juliet,"My friend Holly and I stayed at Susanna and Richards place for almost a week. The house is beautifully decorated and in a great location, close to public transport and a short walk from lots of delicious food and the fun shopping area of South Congress. 
We especially loved the pool and went swimming several times, we would definitely stay again if we ever came back to Austin. "
996332,22354386,2014-11-04,17573747,Ya-Ling,"The listing was spot on. Susanna and Richard were very accommodating to our arrival and departure time. 

Our entire stay was very pleasant.  The location was excellent.  Very short walk to several great restaurants, SoCo district and the bus stop.  The neighborhood was ideal, quiet and great to have a little stroll. I was very happy overall.

My husband and I had a pleasant trip to Austin, Tx. It was our first time with Airbnb and if we return to Austin in the future, we will definitely stay with Susanna and Richard again if it is available."
996332,22576975,2014-11-10,9339269,Aliya,"Susanna et Richard ont été des hôtes parfaits. Ils étaient accueillants, respectueux, disponibles et à l’écoute des besoins. La maison est simplement magnifique! La chambre et la salle de bain étaient propre. Nous n’avons manqué de rien. La maison est très bien située, près de deux autobus principaux et à quelques minutes d’excellent restaurants, et du centre-ville. Nous y retournerions sans se poser de question. Merci encore pour cette belle expérience qui a rendu notre voyage encore plus merveilleux."
996332,22690258,2014-11-11,22480934,Sarah,"Susanna's home is stunning and ideally suited to many great things that Austin has to offer. She provides a wonderful list of Austin favorites and is a consummate host. It's easy to walk from the property to great restaurants, shopping, galleries, nightlife and Town Lake, yet the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. She is happy to explain the technology behind the carbon neutral aspects of the house, and the reasons for the design and layout - which is beautifully thought out and well executed. Most importantly, she goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and welcome, but allows you as much privacy as you like. I had a wonderful, albeit too brief, stay. Thank you so much for being so gracious and welcoming on such short notice, Susanna!"
996332,22845099,2014-11-16,1359767,Margaret,"We had the best time at Susanna's place. She is a really wonderful host and gave us great suggestions for where to eat. We never would have found such gems without her and those experiences made out short sweet trip in Austin truly memorable. Her home is like an art museum and very peaceful and rejuvenating. We got some much needed rest there and would go back in a heartbeat, especially in the summer to try the gorgeous salt water pool! Thanks Susanna for being so lovely and hospitable and having such great taste! "
996332,25976812,2015-01-31,5778068,Yash,"My stay at Sussana's place was very comfortable. The room is spacious and very well taken care of by the host family. The house is stunning and located in a very nice neighbourhood, with a lot of places to eat, at walking distance. The description and the photos of the listing are very accurate.

Overall, my stay was very pleasant and convenient. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
"
996332,26273946,2015-02-08,17818881,Luke,We had a perfect stay. Susanna and her husband made us feel right at home in their beautiful and carbon-neutral home. The location of their home is ideal with several coffee shops and all the fun of S 1st and S Congress just a few blocks away. We hope to visit again soon!
996332,26962326,2015-02-22,15774955,Becky,Susanna was a great hostess and was very welcoming to me. The home is beautiful and comfortable. I came and went as I needed and access was straight forward. The home is near the fun area of SoCo and very accessible. I would definitely stay here again.
996332,27866217,2015-03-13,1230393,Hal,"Susanna is very welcoming and simply lovely. She radiates charisma and calm. The room is beautifully kept and looks exactly like it does in the photos but the house more than exceeds expectations. It is flawlessly designed and is filled with an impressive selection of expertly curated art. I'd recommend this room, this house and the amazing people within without a moment's hesitation."

Our hosts gave us great reccomendations for local restaurants and bars. In my opinion by far the best location to get a true experience of what 'Austin' has to offer. Easy bus links gets you to downtown in 5 minutes or 20-30 minute walk. 

I would highly recommend this to other Airbnb travellers. The pictures just don't do this house justice! 


"
996332,28614191,2015-03-27,13718136,Hannah,"My husband and I feel that we could not have picked a better place to stay in Austin. It felt like a special opportunity to stay in Susanna's home. The design is superbly modern but practical. We enjoyed so many aspects, include the chance to sit by the pool soaking up the sun and enjoying the beer that Susanna left in our mini-fridge. 

The house is very close to excellent restaurants, fun food trucks, quirky galleries, and lovely neighborhood walks — some of our favorite food was literally one block down the street! It's a great neighborhood base for exploring South Austin.

We didn't get a chance to meet Susanna, but she was very responsive over email and Laura, who lives and works at the home, greeted us and showed us our room. We had everything we need and didn't feel like we were getting in the way. You won't regret staying here! "
996332,28722771,2015-03-29,28374138,Brian,"Fantastic hospitality, great neighborhood and a wonderful experience - this house is awesome and so is Susanna! I would highly, highly recommend this for anyone making a trip to Austin. "

I would be very happy to stay with Susanna on our next trip to Austin."

Thanks again and we will hopefully be back!"

The bedroom is very comfortable, with a nice ensuite and direct access to the garden and pool. The location is incredible, walking distance to some great restaurants on south 1st st, and all the action on south congress st. Susanna is full of helpful bar, restaurant, cultural suggestions. I can't recommend this highly enough. We loved our stay, and very much hope to return in the not too distant future! "
996332,34973807,2015-06-14,17942744,James,"Susanna has a truly beautiful and amazing home.  It is a true work of art and contains many fascinating bits of art throughout.   She made us feel very welcome, and had a notebook with great suggestions for dining in the area.  We particularly enjoyed the beautiful pool after a warm day walking over Austin.

It was a lovely two days we spent at her home."

Great location, great recommendations, and a great host!!!

996332,36252056,2015-06-26,5493970,Ad,"We couldn´t have thought of the wonders of Austin Texas, and never the less the luck we had by finding Susana and her home.
The design of their house has been definitely thought from the heart , as a result an Oasis of peace with in a world  modernity. Not to mention that is near anything you would want of Austin.
We enjoyed a wonderful hospitality from our host and we can´t wait for the time to go back.
Thank you so much!!!"
996332,39052169,2015-07-20,15150486,Jennifer,Suzanne and Richard were wonderful hosts and the space was amazing. Very central and convenient for us to move around. Was a great weekend getaway. 
996332,40681625,2015-08-01,2334172,Julie,"A serene, peaceful and welcoming environment in a quiet neighborhood close to many of Austin's attractions with lots of great food carts nearby! Susanna was just lovely and her home is a reflection of her serene and thoughtful presence. Everything was as described and the saline pool was just icing on the cake at the end of a long hot summer day! Will definitely look forward to another visit. "
996332,40872832,2015-08-02,2233302,Sachin,We had such a wonderful stay. 
996332,41889708,2015-08-09,40428981,Jet,"We had a wonderful time here with our 11 month old baby - enjoying the beautiful house and pool and all the nice restaurants and coffee places at walking distance. It was a perfect getaway for us, also because Susanna and Richard made us feel welcome and at home. "
996332,42765304,2015-08-15,11431101,Kaling,"My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to stay in this beautiful home--the photos truly don't do it justice. It's located in a great neighborhood, steps away from a lot of restaurants and attractions. Susanna is a kind host who makes sure you feel welcome and is happy to answer any questions you may have. "
996332,43615738,2015-08-21,4275891,Megumi & Jordan,"Susanna and Richard were great hosts, they welcomed us and gave us great recommendations for dining and live music. The room was very comfortable and salt water pool was great. The house is located in a cool area, one block to food trucks and easy walk to S Congress street where many restaurants and shops are. We enjoyed music in the continental club that Susanna and Richard recommended us. Thank you! "
996332,44990647,2015-08-30,6562556,Danielle,"This was the best stay we have had in Austin! Their home is beautiful and it was most enjoyable to have access to the pool in the morning to enjoy a coffee as the sun rises. Everything is carefully decorated, beds are comfy, and Susanna provides a list of local restaurants in case you don't know where to start! We cannot wait to return"
996332,45958937,2015-09-07,18670027,S,"This is clearly a beautiful home at a great price, but the service could be improved. Susana was not home during the visit, which created a few issues. After I arrived, the only person there was the housekeeper who did not speak English, which made getting setup on the wifi (which was very spotty) and getting items like towels (only 2 for 2 people over a 3 night stay) and glasses difficult. On the plus side, we had the entire place to ourselves. However, one night I came back to our place and found a strange man there (who turned out to be her son) hosting a party. It would have been nice to have advance notice of this party and impacted us enjoying the place since we felt banished to our room and couldn't enjoy the pool or kitchen (our room also had glass walls so they could see us). I think if the host had been present or better communication was involved, this would be a great place to stay as the home is gorgeous."
996332,47694629,2015-09-21,28839924,Danielle,Loved it here. Susanna and her husband were very accommodating. Susanna was always available if needed and took the time to help me figure out different activities to do during my stay. The place was clean. It's close enough to downtown yet it still remains a quiet escape. I would definitely return. 
996332,48106958,2015-09-23,6915183,Lauryn & Matt,I can't say anything but amazing things. This may have been the best airbnb I've stayed at. It's even better than the photos. Susanna and her husband were incredibly kind and helpful. I WILL be back. 
996332,48486887,2015-09-26,2410157,Joyce,"My accommodation fell through at the last minute. I sent Susanna a message around 5am and she responded around 9am. She was able to accommodate me in such short notice. I'm very grateful for that. 

Susanna and Laura (assistant) made my stay VERY comfortable. I was looking to decompress from traveling for 1.5 weeks and finding a quiet place to focus, work and meditate.

The room and house was an inspiring home. The architecture, the light, air, space, plants and pool is exactly what I needed to think, work, relax and enjoy some peace and quiet from the bustle of Austin. This accommodation was more than I could ask for.

The location couldn't be more perfect. It's half a block to South First Street, my favorite street in Austin so far. It's a block to Elizabeth Street Cafe, super fresh Vietnamese fare, not super cheap but it's quite good, friendly staff, and ambiance makes it worth it. It's also ONE LONG AVENUE to South Congress and close to the bus stop on South 5th Street for the walkers like me :-)

I feel truly blessed for finding it and getting to know Susanna, Amy and the art scene. I'd love to stay and see these ladies of note, again. #blessedintexas"
996332,49098778,2015-10-01,23146494,Richard,"An absolutely stunning property. A calming, beautifully decorated environment in a fantastic part of town. Can't recommend highly enough."
996332,49420133,2015-10-04,228732,Paul,"Easy check in and out, great place that is close to zilker Park "
996332,50151583,2015-10-09,92342,Ashley,Beautiful home! Very sweet people to stay with for a few nights. The saltwater pool was a major highlight. Fantastic value.
996332,50267139,2015-10-11,511530,Emelia & Shawn,"My boyfriend and I felt right at home in Susanna's gorgeous place! She was very quick to respond to any questions I had and the whole process went smoothly. We were in Austin for Austin City Limits and spent most of our time at the festival. Most mornings Shawn and I would get breakfast right on first street down the block, which was convenient / delicious. It is even better then the pictures, and the neighborhood was very quiet and serene. The architecture of the home and grounds with all the sculptural touches is beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer. We would love to vacation here again just to enjoy the house!"
996332,51533110,2015-10-21,3395664,Geoffrey,"Most of the previous reviews have captured Susanna’s place wonderfully; She has a beautifully designed and furnished home offering a zen-like experience - simple, clean and open, surrounded by nature and water (fish pond in the front and swimming pool in the back). Truly an oasis. 

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was perfect in that it was walkable to both South Congress and First Avenues where one can find plenty of places to shop, dine and drink. If you’re so inclined, you can walk to downtown Austin in less than 30 minutes or drive in about 5 or 10 minutes. 

Susanna was a great host, always prompt is responding to our messages and questions. Although she wasn’t there when we arrived, the check-in process went very smoothly. When we did finally meet on the last day of our stay, she was warm, friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend Susanna’s place and look forward staying there again on our next visit to Austin."
996332,52768712,2015-11-01,35432934,Jennifer,"My husband and I spent this past Halloween weekend at Susanna and Richard's beautiful home. It was exactly as pictured in their posting, if not more breathtaking in person. I would describe their home as natural, modern, artistic and relaxing. Susanna and Richard were gracious hosts. Susanna was very helpful to give us the tour upon our arrival and she was very knowledgeable about different restaurants around the area. Our room and private bathroom were clean, spacious enough for two people, and the bed was comfy. I loved waking up to the natural light and wonderful views of their backyard and pool. The bathroom also had wonderful skylight, which made for a very awakening morning shower. They even have a small fridge, which is filled with waters, beer and snacks, and a single use coffee maker for all your coffee and tea drinkers. The home is in a great location: close to plenty of coffee shops, restaurants and popular food truck parks. We were minutes away from downtown ($8 Uber ride to 6th street). The neighborhood was also very quiet and so was their house. We were able to come and go as we please, but also didn't feel like we were in anyone's way. We would totally love to come back and stay with them again the next time we are in Austin, Texas!"
4856743,26878624,2015-02-21,18229746,David,"The cozy suite was exactly as pictured and described.  It was a perfect residence for our time in Austin - clean, modern and welcoming.  The neighbourhood of East Austin is very eclectic and once we got to know the area we really enjoyed the location.  The hosts were very responsive and helpful.  We forgot our iPad and before receiving payment they quickly got packaged and to a courier within a day.  No hestitations to recommend and would look to rebook if we were back in Austin.  "
4856743,29839096,2015-04-13,7244366,Elijah,"Lovely, comfortable, modern, convenient! Simple place with everything we needed. Easy getting in and out, Bryce and Rachael were very responsive and offered lots of great neighborhood recommendations. So close to so much good stuff. There's no TV, and just a radio, so would recommend brining a laptop if you want to up your watching/listening capabilities for your mid-day siesta, pre-game or bedtime. "
4856743,33314715,2015-05-26,1479953,New,Awesome place! Walkable to the heart of east Austin. Uber is always around if you need to go downtown or the campus area. The backyard is great place to chill at the end of the day. they email you with all the necessary instructions. Very cool folks! I'd go back. 
4856743,37376190,2015-07-06,1103558,Bethany,"Staying at Bryce and Rachael's place was terrific. We rented out the front house too so know this is always an option for larger groups.  They were very accommodating.  It was a very clean, the bed was comfortable. The location is perfect. Just around the corner from coffee/breakfast shops, food trucks, The Scoot Inn (a great bar) and walking distance to downtown.  You will love this place with your family or friends.  I would defiantly book with them at this location again.  "
4856743,44041911,2015-08-23,32684081,J.D.,Rachael is one of the best host I've ever met. She was very attentive to our needs. The place is the perfect cozy retreat near the hippest part of town but at arms length so you don't have to be in the bustling E. 6th corridor. Just enough space to feel like a home with all of the amenities you'll need to make an enjoy a meal or relax and watch Netflix. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to experience one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. 
4856743,45029402,2015-08-30,573779,Devon,"Bryce and Rachel's place was fantastic. It was cool, comfortable, and stocked with anything we needed. The neighborhood was perfect, easy walk to awesome bars and restaurants. Bryce and Rachel's recommendations were spot on. "
4856743,45715224,2015-09-05,29470681,Nana,"Bryce and Rachael were amazing at giving direction to/from the apartment, which was very helpful. They also gave us a very detailed list of the restaurants and bars we should go to, which won over my heart instantly- all the recommendations were fantastic. The apartment is very clean and it was always cool even though it was very hot outside. This experience made me fall in love with Austin! "
4856743,46197957,2015-09-08,5531225,Robin,Bryce & Rachael make it very easy to get your key and check into their private studio gem near all the best restaurants and bars in East Austin! Their informational e-mails preceding our stay pointed us around their wonderful neighborhood before arriving and were a great addition to our experience. Thanks for a great stay!
4856743,47086732,2015-09-15,42244200,Meghan,"When my boyfriend and I came to stay for 4 days to go to a wedding, Bryce and Rachael were awesome hosts! They were quickly responsive to all of our questions, and gave us great ideas of things to do and see (and eat!) while we were there. The house is pretty and comfortable; we were very grateful to have such a nice retreat to relax in, in between adventures. It's in a nice little spot, with easy street parking, and lots of neat places to visit within walking distance. We never felt unsafe walking through the neighborhood, day or night. We would definitely stay here again!"
4856743,47847824,2015-09-21,32684081,J.D.,Extremely nice hosts. One of the best experiences I've had so far across the country as far as walking distance to amazing venues and tucked away enough to give a true sense of privacy and comfort.
4856743,47992847,2015-09-22,6978528,Antal,"Came to Austin with my girlfriend for a wedding and this apartment was perfect for a couple.  Very clean and the location can't be beat and there was a nice little courtyard with cacti where we enjoyed our coffee every morning.  Bryce Rachael also provided us with a long list excellent places to eat and drink, our only regret was we didn't have more time to spend."
4856743,51132889,2015-10-18,42310704,Nicola,"My wife and I visited Austin for the first time, and Bryce and Rachael's place was perfect for us. The location is great - walking distance to all the great spots in east Austin (coffee, bars, restaurants, food trucks, breweries), and less than 20 minute walk to downtown. We also used Austin's bike share (station conveniently located near their place) to visit the south Congress neighborhood and Barton Springs.
The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as advertised. The entire experience with Bryce and Rachael was wonderful; they're attentive, gracious, and accommodating hosts. Also, as many have mentioned, their list of recommendations was amazing! "
4856743,52218663,2015-10-27,42044158,Dustin,"First AirBnB stay and it couldn't have been more perfect. The apartment was easy to access and in a perfect location. It provided everything that we needed. 

The recommendations provided were great! Especially breakfast at Cenote. 

Thanks so much Bryce and Rachael! "
4856743,52969842,2015-11-03,3977844,Alison,"This apartment is a tremendous value—beautiful, impeccably clean, and well-located. Bryce and Rachael provided clear, detailed instructions for getting to and unlocking the apartment, as well as lots of great recommendations for restaurants and things to do in Austin. They were always available via text whenever I had a question. I would definitely stay here again!"
4334621,25113856,2015-01-06,839641,Will,"Great location in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin.  Piano was an added bonus as it allowed us to play Nick Cave covers on the rainy days.  Enjoyed our stay, would have enjoyed a bit more privacy from the host."
4334621,25563411,2015-01-19,2995486,David,Valentia and her husband Herb were great hosts!  Made our group feel welcome and the property itself was just as advertised!  A great 3 bedroom ranch with room for a few more if needed in a quiet neighborhood very close to the action.  You can walk a few minutes to some great bars/restaurants or take a $5 uber to downtown.  Would definitely recommend staying here!
4334621,49567257,2015-10-04,7386093,Daniel,"Valentina and Herb were amazing hosts! The place was exactly as described, and the location couldn't have been better. We would definitely book with them again!"
4334621,51190284,2015-10-18,9039753,Jonathan,"Our stay at this residence was very pleasant! The hosts were very welcoming from the off, giving us a guided tour of the house and instructing us on usage of certain elements of it. The house itself is just as it is described and photographed, to every detail. The bedrooms were spacious enough and the beds extremely comfortable. For 3 of us there was plenty of space; for 4 I envisage that it would be comfortable too. The living area is nice and the facilities in the kitchen more than decent. We did have an issue with the toilet and shower but that was quickly fixed without any inconvenience. There is also a large yard for outdoor activities. ... The local area is pleasant, with an array of bars and restaurants within 5 minutes walking distance. There are also a handful of grocery stores close to home. Also of interest is Barton Springs which is very close to the residence! With good weather, this is the ideal place to relax. The house isnt too far from downtown either but you would require an Uber or a long walk... All in all, 5/5!"
70812,200416,2011-03-16,361731,Peter,"Great space, great host. South Congress is one of my favourite streets in the world, and this airy apartment is just off the strip. Cannot recommend strongly enough."
70812,216308,2011-04-03,471051,Micah,"An absolutely charming and real Austin experience.  The garage apartment is fully equipped with wireless, google phone, a full kitchenette area, living and dinette area, bedroom and very large bathroom.  

At every turn it seemed as though there as an extra amenity not mentioned in the description - wine refrigerator and a color printer!

This isn't to mention the very close proximity (1 block) to South Congress, one of Austin's most amazing cultural streets.  As well, the walk downtown and to 6th street is less than 30 minutes.

I would highly recommend the apartment.  Mr Breen was a gracious apartment host, and the overall experience was much more than what I could have expected."
70812,292800,2011-06-01,241890,Julie,"Michael and his wife were wonderful hosts - so friendly and nice! They made us feel extremely welcome and at home. We loved their garage apartment. It was beautifully decorated and nicely furnished with a super comfy memory foam bed, microwave, full-size fridge, cook top, and even a projection (website hidden) worked great. The location was AMAZING. We were seriously just one block away from South Congress and all the restaurants and shops there. Guerros, Hey Cupcake, HEB grocery store, etc. A very happening and hip neighborhood, yet the garage apartment was very tranquil and quiet. It's also walkable to the So Co bridge where the bats fly out every night at dusk. A must see! The apartment was well stocked with toiletries and any amenities we might need. If you want to save $$ by not eating out you can pick up groceries and use the apartment kitchenette. I would highly recommend staying here."
70812,495525,2011-09-02,922825,Will,"Amazing hosts! The place was quiet and very clean, and within walking distance to anything you would want to do in downtown Austin. Michael and Stephanie were very helpful and friendly -- Thanks for the great stay! "
70812,564700,2011-09-25,770300,Elea,"Michael's apartment is in a fantastic location in the South Congress area - we were close to food trucks, restaurants, and various shops (Allens Boots, Uncommon Objects, Amy's Ice Creams, etc). Had we been less spoiled by California weather, we could've made it all the way to downtown by foot as well.  Not only was the apartment cozy and bright, but the fridge was thoughtfully stocked with a few drinks and sweets for us to enjoy too!"
70812,611069,2011-10-09,975484,Julie,"This space and location turned out to be perfect for our family's week-long stay in Austin. We have two kids, one 6 mo and one 3.5 yo, and with the kitchen, nearby restaurants & shops, and central location we found it easy to work with everyone's schedules and various feeding & entertainment needs. 

The apartment is cool, with a great king-sized bed, spacious shower, and really convenient kitchen. I loved the architecture of the two buildings and Michael & Stephanie's taste in decor, bath soap and fridge/freezer snacks (a wonderful surprise, yum!) Very nice, easy stay with great hosts!"
70812,671020,2011-10-28,1181620,Mollee,"Great space. Perfect location. Fantastic hosts. 

The apartment was:
-clean
-spacious
-comfortable (e.g., king bed; assorted pillows ranging from firm to fluffy)
-tastefully decorated with contemporary styling
-quality furnishings (e.g., good shower water pressure)
-lots of natural light
-safe (motion sensor lighting, locked gates, keypad entry to the apartment)
-stocked with necessities (I packed my own toiletries, but the bathroom had everything from shaving cream and razors, to shampoo and body wash, to a cadre of assorted over-the-counter medications -- just in case.)

The hosts were friendly and helpful. Michael answered all my questions promptly before my arrival, including arranging for a bicycle I could use.

Above and beyond: 
-complementary wine in the fridge and Ben & Jerry's ice cream in the freezer
-during my stay, Michael stayed connected at all times via text, answering my questions and even checking in with me to be certain I was doing well and that my needs were taken care of 
-suggested restaurants particular to my vegan diet
-drove me to retrieve my lost purse (I really appreciated having his help navigating my mini-crisis)

My only disappointment was that my schedule didn't allow me to stay longer!

70812,705376,2011-11-09,1204276,Ted,"Great space with plenty of privacy! We were on our honeymoon and it was our first trip to Austin, so it was nice to have a quiet spot to relax. The apartment itself is great and has all the amenities you would expect and more! Michael stocked the fridge with a few beers, a bottle of wine, and local organic goodies. The place is incredibly close to all the bars/restaurants/boutiques that South Congress is known for and we enjoyed every minute. We are dog people and Sophie quickly became our best friend - she is a sweet heart!"
70812,724496,2011-11-16,332111,Naomi,"Michael and Stephanie's place was perfect for our 3-night stay in Austin. The apartment was bright, comfortable and well-appointed. I loved being able to open the windows and feel the cross-breeze. The location, just a block away from South Congress, could not have been better, and we were able to explore the neighborhood a lot on foot (though we could have also borrowed bikes, which was a great offer). Michael was helpful in providing recommendations of places to eat and things to do. I would highly recommend staying here. "
70812,738896,2011-11-22,1177626,Gibbs,"You will love this location. There is not a better choice in Austin, as far as I am concerned.

Get ready to play ball with Sophie, the most social of their three pups. 
Book with supreme confidence!!"
70812,934164,2012-02-20,144705,Deanna,"We had a great time-- the location is amazing and this makes both an excellent crash pad for busy trips, as well as a cozy place to curl up with a good movie if you're not up for going out. And the dogs on the property are *adorable* and utterly sweet."

- great location (15 min walk or 5 min bike) to downtown
- great area with lots of good food and quirky shops
- very clean apartment, with clean linens and all mod cons
- furniture etc was in good condition
- beer in the fridge on arrival
- we even got to use the host's bikes for the entire week, which was great since austin is such a bike friendly city
- dogs were wonderful. throw sophie a stick and you're her friend for ever.
- very friendly hosts + never in your way unless you need them."
70812,1045123,2012-03-26,1873034,Ben,"What a fun visit to Austin.  Michael's accommodations could not have been in a better location for our first visit to the city.  Walking distance to so much of what South Congress has to offer.
 
Michael was a great host.  We didn't see him too much, but he provided us with lots of solid tourist advice and even some surprise treats in the fridge when we arrived.

Highly recommended if you need a safe, modern, quiet, and well-equipped place for a few days in town."

70812,1378673,2012-05-29,79281,Jessica,"I was nicely surprised by how charming and comfortable Michael's guest house was. Michael was also an excellent host, and made sure my friends and I were content the entire time. I was in town for the weekend for a wedding and it was my first time in Austin. The apartment is conveniently located within walking distance, right off of South Congress, where there are a number of great restaurants, bars, and stores. The street that the apt is on is adorable, filled with cute little houses. There is also ample street parking, if you have a car. 

I highly recommend Michael's guest house- I would definitely stay there  again!"

70812,2627546,2012-10-16,2446960,Renee,My friends and I rented Michael and Stephanie's one-bedroom upstairs apartment and it was just perfect for our weekend in Austin.  The accommodations were comfortable and the location just off of South Congress made it very easy to fit in a shopping trip or two in the middle of our music-filled weekend at ACL.  I even found that the neighborhood was great for a morning run.  I would recommend this location to anyone wanting to get a true taste of what Austin is all about.  
70812,2894448,2012-11-16,1175846,Jere,"Great apartment!  The location is unbeatable--only a block from a parade of shops and restaurants that stretch down S. Congress and less than a mile from Lady Bird Lake--and the apartment is nicely laid out with a serviceable kitchen and separate bedroom.  I worked part of the month that I stayed in the apartment and I was especially impressed with the wireless Internet service.  My only negative--and just for those of you especially sensitive to noise--is the neighborhood dogs.  (Not Michael's dogs--they're friendly and well-behaved.)  I was woken a few times by other dogs, usually around the time that I get up anyway and the noise only caused a small bother now and then.  That small problem wouldn't stop me from renting the apartment again and, indeed, I hope to book it for my next trip to Austin.  Nine out of 10!  (Tip: You might not need a car, depending on your plans.  I signed up for a car-sharing service, Car2Go, and was able to get a car in the neighborhood when I needed one.)"
70812,3497746,2013-02-08,83242,Lisa,"Michael and Stephanie were wonderful hosts and we thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay in their apartment. The space was comfortable and functional and they were very responsive to our questions and needs. We feel fortunate to have landed in a fun, safe neighborhood with lots of options for dining and shopping. It was also perfect for walking our dog, Max, and checking out all the cute homes and gardens in the area. Max made friends with Sophie and Chloe, their sweet dogs. We whole heartedly recommend this Airbnb experience and hope to visit again some time soon! "
70812,3638192,2013-02-26,1367006,Lisa,"Love the space, bathed in light and perfectly located. Highly recommended.

70812,3869259,2013-03-23,5053875,Jamie,"What a sweet little place!  Location is perfect.  Easy drive to airport and easy access to lots of fun areas of Austin.  Michael was a great host, sending us an email of interesting things to do and places to eat in the area.  Wish we could have stayed longer!

Thanks so much for a lovely time!"
70812,3938389,2013-03-29,3575907,Robert,We stayed for two days and only moved on because of the need to be in Round Rock for a few days. Very clean vand presentable. A full kitchen was nice but we were out enjoying the restaurants on South Congress just a block away. We will  stay here again when we come back to visit  family.
70812,4020268,2013-04-03,4714820,Amanda,"Modern, clean apartment in a great neighborhood. It's the perfect amount of space for 2-3 people. Michael and Stephanie were both very helpful and accommodating, but also gave you privacy. We loved Austin and would definitely recommend staying at this apartment!"
70812,4118115,2013-04-11,453103,Emmy,My partner and I really enjoyed our stay in the upstairs apartment. We stayed for almost a week and it became like home. The location is perfect bc you can walk to everything. Michael even loaned us a pair of bikes to ride around Zilker Park. Michael and his wife gave us our privacy but were around if we needed them. Would stay here again when visiting Austin!
70812,4204786,2013-04-18,990488,Dounia,"This place was perfect for us and in the most ideal location! It was exactly as shown in the photos and close to all our favorite places. We had a great stay and Michael was helpful and accommodating.

We definitely would like to stay there again next time we're in Austin!

Thanks Michael!

70812,4235946,2013-04-21,5523554,Elizabeth,This was a nice spot in a neighborhood off of South Congress. The apartment is comfortable and clean. It is a short walk to great food and some fun shopping. We were able to bike to the outdoor lap pools and rowing clubs as well as Whole Foods. Michael and Stephanie were available and kind enough to provide their bikes for our exploring. We hope to return to this area and will be looking for their listing when we do!
70812,4341724,2013-04-29,5604167,Andrew,"I stayed at Michael's apartment while doing research at UT.  The bus stop is just a block away from the apartment, and fifteen minutes later, I was at the university--no transfers necessary.  Michael's apartment is exactly as it appears in the photos, and Michael is an excellent host.  I enjoyed being right in the heart of South Congress, great food and people watching.  Rent with confidence--this is a great place!"
70812,4548414,2013-05-12,1558080,Victoria,"I had a magical week here. The apartment is beautifully kept, serene, convenient, and Michael and Stephanie have put everything you might need in it. It's in pretty much the perfect spot in Austin's coolest neighborhood. Michael and Stephanie were kindness itself, but never intrusive. Their dogs Chloe and Sophie were also adorable.  Basically, I want to live in this apartment all the time..."
70812,8681519,2013-11-11,3991526,Jane,Really lovely place and lovely hosts. Had a wonderful stay here. highly recommended!
70812,8840310,2013-11-20,694760,Adam,"Stephanie and Michael have done a great job at transforming their space into a great guest house! There are tons of windows, great natural light, its clean, modern and comfortable. They've obviously put a lot of effort and thought into it. The shower is huge, there are tons of extra toiletries, a comfy bed, and cute little dogs to greet you at the gate. It's very quiet and peaceful, despite being just a couple of blocks from all the action on S. Congress. They took our reservation at the last second and saved us from a potentially nightmare stay at another location, so we are super grateful for that! We will definitely be booking it again for our future trips to Austin. "
70812,9947820,2014-01-20,11394044,Alison,"Stephanie was great! She took my friend and I on last minute and let us extend our stay, no problem. Very accommodating and a beautiful apartment! We had a great time in Austin, mostly because the apartment was in a great location and perfect for our needs. Thanks, Stephanie!"
70812,10313380,2014-02-12,494731,Rachel,"Stephanie was wonderful as was the place! We did not have a rental car and walked all over Austin from the apartment. You're right smack in the middle of the main strip of South Congress, so around the corner from lots of shopping and restaurants, and walkable to downtown as well. 

The place itself was great. A great little kitchen to cook breakfast if you like. Simple, but decorated with a lot of lovely local art. 

Highly recommend!"
70812,10451470,2014-02-19,841180,Christine,"It was a pleasure staying in the apartment above the studio. The apartment was spotless and had a great decor. Stephanie and Michael greeted us with their sweet dogs when we arrived and showed us around the property. They were kind to convert the two twin beds into a comfortable king size bed for Ben and I before we arrived and provided bicycles to use throughout our stay. We rented a car which was really not needed if we had planned to stay in the city, but we did spend one day exploring outside of Austin. Stephanie and Michael live in a GREAT location, one block from South Congress street- great mix of shops (boutique and vintage), restaurants (Hopdoddy and Homeslice had lines out the door) and great patio bars. We hope to make it back to Austin soon and would absolutely love to stay here again! "
70812,10551134,2014-02-24,9560756,Matt,Great friendly hosts with a beautiful house.  All the amenities we needed plus an unbeatable location

70812,11546050,2014-04-07,10431868,Melissa,"Location was perfect - we walked to 90% of the places we were interested in.  Apartment was clean, host was friendly and dogs were adorable :)."
70812,11745029,2014-04-14,12303929,Jess,Stephanie's apartment is in an amazing location and she was a wonderful host. I highly recommend this listing for anyone visiting Austin! 
70812,12348781,2014-04-29,7187989,Jeff,Perfect place in a great location for a quick weekend trip to Austin.  Easy to walk to S. Congress and the home was clean and spacius.  Would recommend to anyone looking for a place in the area! 
70812,12563444,2014-05-05,10621059,Nikolai,"Stephanie and Michael have created a fantastic getaway for their guests. They were easy to reach and communicate with from our request-for-reservation and through out our stay. Their apartment is bright, comfortable, spacious, well appointed—and central to South Congress while still quiet and tucked into a wonderful neighborhood. Darcie and I cannot recommend them or their apartment highly enough. We were made to feel welcome, comfortable, and primed for the best of Austin—from meeting their sweet rescue dogs, to enjoying their lovely yard, to the free use of their bikes, and much more. A great place to stay in Austin!"
70812,13719809,2014-06-02,10013315,Tony,"I had a pretty busy schedule so wasn't able to play with the pups or talk with Stephanie and Michael much, but everything here was great.  The location was ideal for me - I could walk to all of my favorite places on South Congress.  Plus Capital Metro access, Car2Go, and bikes nearby.  It was a very safe neighborhood - I was not concerned about walking home late at night.  The space was clean, comfortable, and stylish.  I couldn't have been more pleased.  Always prompt responses from the hosts."
70812,14046868,2014-06-10,15818352,Susan,"Our stay here was beyond our expectation. This was my first airbnb experience, so I had no idea what to expect. Stephanie and Michael's place was better than a hotel! Very clean, they had everything you could possibly need, and they were around to give us great suggestions on things to do. They let us borrow their bikes for a ride to Barton Springs for a swim, otherwise we walked everywhere we wanted to go. We would definitely stay here again! "
70812,15378561,2014-07-07,778097,Kyle,"Great hosts.  Responded quickly, and attended to any needs/requests we had.  They totally get it."
70812,20282124,2014-09-27,18772869,Angela,"Our stay in Stephanie and Michael's 1 bedroom apartment above the studio was fantastic. Exactly as advertised, the space was cute, comfy, clean, and very well laid out. Close to all the SoCo shopping and dining, we had a rental car and didn't need it at all. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their place to anyone looking for a great landing pad in Austin."
70812,20918317,2014-10-07,13661237,Kristen,"The apartment was lovely and contemporary. The bed comfortable, the bath fresh and with a large open contemporary shower. The location was perfect, just two short blocks to the heart of South Congress with lots of great shops & restaurants. "
70812,21641435,2014-10-20,21767871,Paige,"What a sweet little spot 3 It was clean, roomy, decorated beautifully, and within walking distance to everywhere we wanted to check out on South Congress. I would recommend this hip studio to anyone who has a taste for an upscale hotel with the feel of something a little more cozy and at home. We will be back!! "
70812,22360354,2014-11-04,20416735,Jenny,"The apartment was in a great location with fun shops and restaurants nearby. It was roomy and clean. There was even beer and mineral water in the fridge which we were told to help ourselves to.
We didn't see much of Stephanie and Michael after we checked in, but they were always helpful and available to answer questions via text messages. Stephanie even offered to drive me to a camera shop when I realized I had left my battery charger at home. I didn't take her up on the offer, but it was VERY nice of her!
This place was definitely a good find. "
70812,22587947,2014-11-10,21499883,Melyssa,"Loved this space + location.
For us, the best part is they provided bikes for us to use liberally. That meant no renting a car and getting around Austin the way we prefer. 
Great accommodations and hosts! 
"
70812,26338095,2015-02-09,27130101,Helen,The location was perfect and Stephanie was very sweet and helpful and accommodating! Great hostess. The apartment was immaculate and spacious and beautiful. Loved every minute and can't wait to return. 
70812,26694797,2015-02-17,26501626,Lauren,"Stephanie's 1 bedroom apt was exactly as described on the website. It was clean, cute, and cozy. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend in Austin using Stephanie's place as a base for exploring the city. The location was great for walking around South Congress and running around Lady Bird lake/downtown. It's a very short Uber ride to downtown (Roughly 2 miles; we used Uber to get to Franklin's, 2nd Street dining/shopping, and the Bullock Museum, then we walked back).

Stephanie and Michael also have 2 bikes available. We considered doing this, but opted to walk instead. 

This was our first Airbnb experience and we were very pleased. We would highly recommend staying at Stephanie & Michael's place - well decorated, clean, comfy bed. It was the perfect way to explore Austin! Loved it!!"
70812,27008381,2015-02-23,4288736,Jonathan,We were greeted when we arrived by Stephanie's husband.  Very welcoming with a lot of suggestions about the area.  Fantastic apartment with plenty of space and the area was ideal.  I'd recommend it to anyone!
70812,28129036,2015-03-18,9729884,Eric,"Michael and Stephanie are super awesome hosts, so awesome in fact that they didn't totally kill me for requesting an early (5:45am) check-in since I was on a redeye from SF.  

Place is cute, clean, and in a great location.  Nothing I could complain about.  Would totally recommend to anyone coming to town."
70812,29854031,2015-04-13,3003647,Betsy,"We really enjoyed our time at Stephanie and Michael's apartment. The apartment is exactly as described: a cozy 1BR apartment in the backyard. The apartment itself was immaculately clean, well appointed and conveniently located. We chose to walk to dinner on multiple occasions as it was so closely located to all the fun on South Congress. I highly recommend this listing to anyone wanting to stay in the Austin area."
70812,30694447,2015-04-26,29873009,Laura,"This apartment is spacious, bright, well-stocked, and in a fantastic location within a short walk of the shops and restaurants of South Congress Ave. And its separate entrance allows ample privacy. The hosts are friendly and helpful and provided us with great suggestions for places to eat and hang out. My only complaint is that the South Congress traffic sounds very loud in the bedroom; if you're a light-ish sleeper, bring some earplugs or use the ones helpfully provided in the apartment. "
70812,30890355,2015-04-28,15421097,Amir,Perfectly located space one block from heart of south congress with ideal bnb hosts to match the superb setup. Unit was spotless with easy street parking and 2 bikes available for use. Could not ask for better option in ATX. Looking forward to staying here again next time we're in town.
70812,31548141,2015-05-06,4450438,Jt,"Once again I've been spoiled by Stephanie and Michael's splendid hospitality. On my previous trip to their adorable guest quarters I made their amazing (downstairs) studio/loft my digs while working/playing in ATX... 

Well, this time was just as spectacular. The upstairs one bedroom apartment is clean, bright, airy, smartly designed and has everything I needed for a truly incredible Austin TX experience. Close to SOCO, Downtown, nature and the airport... I recommend this listing highly! If there ever was an AirBnB ""Five Star Super Host"" awards ceremony then Stephanie & Michael would be taking home all the trophies...  in all the categories! "
70812,31983417,2015-05-12,329903,Marisa,"The apartment was chic, clean and cozy. Felt like a home and a hotel suite combined. Great location near South Congress, great stay and would recommend to anyone wanting a place in Austin."
70812,42088819,2015-08-10,40647972,Tristan,"Great place to stay! Michael greeted us as soon as we arrived, and they were kind enough to wait out even though we were a bit late arriving there. Great location! We were able to visit a ton of great local places and town lake with no problem at all. Definitely recommend this place!"
70812,45218890,2015-08-31,26203025,Claude,This is the second time I've stayed in one of two of Stephanie's properties.  What can I say other that it was perfect.  The neighborhood is fantastic.  The space was clean and had everything I could possibly need.  And the host was inviting and a pleasure to interact with.  Definitely coming back!
70812,46420353,2015-09-10,8313631,Angela,"Can't beat this location! Stephanie's studio is located right off South Congress and within walking distance to a dozen restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. Stephanie was also very accommodating with our arrival time. We came across a small issue with the studio but Stephanie was very responsive and addressed it right away."
70812,47828666,2015-09-21,24418411,Sarah,"Love this apartment!  Michael was there to greet us as soon as we arrived, and was easily reached if we had any questions.  The apartment was immaculate, and very well stocked with everything you could need.  It really did feel like both a home and a hotel combined; cool, cozy, and convenient. The location was absolutely perfect; just a block from South Congress, and a short walk from many shops and restaurants. The bed was very comfortable, as they kindly made it up as a king upon our request.  It was absolutely perfect and Stephanie and Michael were very accommodating.   Will definitely stay here again, and would recommend to anyone!"
70812,49698326,2015-10-05,15825057,Max,"This was a great place. It was clean, cozy, with a light and airy feel, and in a fantastic location. Michael was there to meet us when we arrived and he took us back to the unit, which is the second level of a separate building behind the house. It's easy to come and go as you please, and seems like one of the few places in Austin where you don't really need a bike or a car to get to some cool spots. I would stay here again."
70812,51399245,2015-10-19,26203025,Claude,"What can I say?  I come back over and over again.  Love the space.  Hosts are great people.  The neighborhood has great music and food, no car needed.  Perfect."
5685241,52056923,2015-10-26,35567733,John,"Angie was a wonderful host and made us very welcome. The room very comfortable, her home is very clean and tidy and and was very conveniently located near to COTA for our trip to the F1 GP. 
Angie is also a Lyft driver and introduced us to the service and was able to take us into the city and to the track.
Throughout the booking process and our stay Angie communicated very well even offering to pick up wine for us!
We will definitely stay there again next year and I highly recommend this home to anyone wishing to stay in the Austin area.
Thanks Angie"
5725863,28911792,2015-03-31,25379449,Lisa,"It was a great group of folks and I felt really comfortable staying there. Place was clean, sheets were clean, and towels were clean. I would recommend staying there to anyone looking for a good group of local people that are involved with tech, startup, and bitcoin."
5725863,33920203,2015-06-02,31582447,Jamie,"If you're looking for a boring, vanilla, cookie cutter experience, look elsewhere.  If you want something fun and unique, check this out!  Martin help us by suggesting a ton of places we could go, as well as inviting us to meet other people with similar interests to us.  It was really awesome to talk and share with others as we visited Austin.  The space was great - clean and exactly as advertised.  Looking forward to coming back!"
368359,3771406,2013-03-13,2504830,Sara,"Staying at Jay's cottage was the perfect way to experience Austin. It was a central location, easy to get to/from, but provide a welcome and relaxing respite from the craziness of downtown. SoCo is an awesome area from which to explore the city (and eat as many tacos as you can find). Jay was a fantastic host - from the little things he did to make us feel welcome (leaving us bagels and cream cheese, providing an empty closet full of hangers for our stuff) to the amenities his place provided (wifi, washer/dryer, amazing backyard), it felt like home and we didn't want to leave! I can't wait to go back and I would recommend Jay's place to anyone who is visiting Austin."
368359,3816123,2013-03-18,450283,Brandon,"We had a very pleasant stay at Jay's home in South Congress. The location was perfect, allowing us to walk to many nearby restaurants and the classic Continental Club. The house was relaxing and Jay was the perfect host. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks!"
368359,7352231,2013-09-16,7292495,Guy,"My wife, daughter and me had a fabulous weekend at Jay's home--other than the dismal play of our UT Longhorns. We walked each day thru his delightful neighborhood and took advantage of the great 
spots on South Congress just 3 bocks away. Great little hideaway."
368359,10848416,2014-03-10,12131245,Devon,"Such a great experience! Austin is adorable, and Jay's apartment was a pleasant walk of about 25 minutes to downtown. He's just a couple blocks from the main street, Congress, with buses and taxis driving by, but I opted to walk -- you'll pass tons of cute food trucks and shops! :) 

Jay was so welcoming, accommodating a late flight (and a slightly late checkout time). When I arrived, he showed me around the house, offered to answer any questions I had on the area over the course of the weekend, and even left me some snacks and a bottle of wine -- how nice is that? The apartment was clean, 2 bedrooms (only 1 used by me, the other has an air mattress available that wasn't setup due to my solo stay), adorable kitchen, and a clean little bathroom. He also has cable TV, which was nice at night before bed.

Overall, the house was exactly what I needed for my trip to SXSW. Must be willing to stay slightly outside of the city to be happy here, though, FYI -- which I was."
368359,11015438,2014-03-17,12354242,Gemma,"Jay's home is immaculately-finished, very clean and extremely comfortable, and it's in an excellent location, close to SoCo's bars and shops (and in walking distance of Downtown) but far enough away from the road to be peaceful. Jay was a great host too - available if we needed anything, but respectful of our privacy. I would definitely stay here again."
368359,11204118,2014-03-24,479464,Scott,The house was immaculate and everything as advertised. Its location is perfect and quiet at the same time. I'd definitely stay here again. Jay also made great logistical arrangements for key pickup and had everything ready for us when we arrived.
368359,21295333,2014-10-14,21189786,Steve,"Jay certainly made us feel at home.  He did a great job communicating (via text and emails) with me from the time I booked throughout my stay.  He place was very clean and as advertized in the listing.  If there was something we needed, he provided it very quickly.  For example, when I asked him about coffee and the ability to watch College Football Saturday morning, he brought by a coffee maker and installed an antenna for local TV channels that afternoon.

Finally, the location was very good for access to the heart of South Congress!

We enjoyed our stay...thank you very much Jay!

-Steve"
5063973,28126388,2015-03-18,27113456,Marc,"What an amazing house! As soon as we got there we noticed that the place was spotless! You could really tell that they exhibited a real ""pride of ownership"". Lisa had arranged a snack plate with all Texas products to make us feel at home in her state. The refrigerator was full of food and drinks, and she had said to help ourselves!

The rooms and layout of the house were ideal for 6! Especially 6 individuals that were busy at SXSW from 8am-7pm every day that we were there! When we returned to the house, tired and weary, there was plenty of spots to lounge around and decompress! 3 showers was a definite plus, especially with 6 people. The property also provided a beautiful front and backyard that we used quite frequently!

Location-wise, this house is perfect. We were only a couple of miles from downtown and an Uber ride took 10-15 minutes tops! Avg cost of an Uber to downtown was anywhere from $8-$12 depending on traffic. Zilker Park was extremely quite, which we loved! There was a convenience store a block and a half away for snacks and drinks. Great location for SXSW!

Lisa was great! She welcomed us with a text when we arrived welcoming us to Austin and then the day before we were departing. We really appreciated this, being as busy as we were!"
955612,10168542,2014-02-03,11740182,Alex,"Great place. I came down for two nights (Fri. and Sat.) with myself and 7 other friends. The place slept eight of us easy, with two couples sharing the larger beds. The backyard is very big and the lighting is an awesome touch. We enjoyed feeling like we had a lot of space to move around, especially in comparison to what we would have had with two hotel rooms. Everything looked as it does in the photos. The location is an easy drive or taxi from downtown, 6th street and Raney St. Taxis take a little bit to get out there, but not too long. I would give it two thumbs up! We all had a great weekend!"
955612,10920834,2014-03-13,11400442,Nicole,Susie was great to work with.  The space was very nice and the back yard was awesome.  Great place to stay.
955612,11554774,2014-04-07,548471,Chuck,"What can I say about this house? Perfect neighborhood, backyard was awesome, house was clean and stocked well. We will stay here again if its available. Susie answers all of our questions."
955612,14298502,2014-06-16,15099756,William,"Chloe was very accommodating - whenever we had a question about anything she got back to us right away, making everything very easy.

Property was great...loved the backyard area. "
955612,14629701,2014-06-23,15944627,Adriana,"Great place! We stayed for two nights, we were 9 girls and the place fit everyone super comfortably, the beds were amazing! Chloe is awesome, the whole time she was super helpful! any question or any problem she was available in a heartbeat. We even got locked out and she immediately answered the phone and let us back in. The place is in a great location, it is super clean and comfy! We will definitely stay there again! "
955612,16128029,2014-07-22,9706247,Geoffrey,"I must say we were very impressed with our visit. The host was great! She was readily available to meet and responded promptly to any questions we had via text messages and phone calls. She also gave us a great public transportation referral. The house was very clean and in the perfect location. We had 7 guests and there was still plenty of room. The backyard is very spacious and a nice hangout location.  The house was less than 10 min from the airport and very close to downtown and Lake Austin. Most people would probably not think to stay here because its not in ""downtown"" but it was exactly what we were looking for. Don't pass this house up!"
955612,19616903,2014-09-15,16527592,Taiana,"Chloe was very accommodating and helpful by providing us with areas to check out as tourists. The house was great, and had an awesome back yard! I would recommend her house to anyone looking to be out of the hubbub but still close enough to do 6th street etc."
955612,20043979,2014-09-22,12208561,Skylar,Chloe went above and beyond to ensure that my employees were able to have a wonderful stay at her home.
955612,20495974,2014-09-30,12027130,Brian,"What a great experience! The house was clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was friendly and close to everything we wanted to see, and Chloe made the entire trip as easy as could be! She was responsive to every question we had and was just really great to work with the entire time. The next time I visit Austin, I really hope I can stay here again. Thanks, Chloe!"
955612,21601190,2014-10-20,21402067,Kartik,Chloe was awesome! She was very easy to deal with and saved us by giving contact info to an awesome 2-way private driver. House was perfect for a weekend getaway and the backyard space was an added bonus!
955612,21959473,2014-10-27,21529196,Duy,Chloe was amazing! She had the place ready and offered to help us if we need anything. The backyard was perfect for entertaining and grilling. 
955612,22356945,2014-11-04,20214958,Clint,Everything was just as described! Chloe meet us at the house and answered any questions we had. She was also key in us getting us affordable car service during the F1 race. Thanks again!
955612,22675536,2014-11-11,22920603,Jared,Our stay at Chloe's place was great. Everything was as she described but the backyard was much better than she described. It is such a great area to entertain. The house is located close to the heart of town but is also just far enough away to where it's very quiet and peaceful. All in all we loved the house and all it had to offer.  
955612,23531213,2014-12-03,22864768,Michael,"Chloe met us at the house to show us around on our arrival.  She left us a large box of fancy cookies.   She offered to help us find activities, but that was not necessary as we were staying over Thanksgiving and had plenty to do with extended family in Austin.  

I thought the house was basically as described, located close to I35 and Ben White.  The yard was beautiful, and would be comfortable for large groups in a warmer season.  

Kitchen was small, but had all the basics.  I roasted a 19 lb turkey in the oven.  

Stairs to upper floor and all bedrooms seemed a little steep to me.  

The house was very clean.  Chloe  extended the checkout time for us."
955612,23941697,2014-12-15,12702230,Jason,Great place and location. Went to Austin for a bachelor party and Chloe was able to point us in the right direction for our needs. Conveniently located to downtown and great food on Rainey / south congress.
955612,24759020,2015-01-02,24456390,Yahya,Chloe is a very delightful lady! She made us feel welcome even before coming to the house. Offered accommodations in case we wanted to have extra guests in the house and was quick in answering my questions. We loved the house. It matched the description and was even better in reality since it was clean and well maintained. Chloe made sure the house is equipped with whatever you might need in your stay on many levels and for that I'm giving this 5-star review because we had a great time!
955612,27646283,2015-03-09,25357510,Sarah,"A group of girls and I stayed in Sunridge Place this weekend and it was perfect!! The neighborhood is great, it's right off of Oltorf so we were close to a lot of our activities - SoCo shopping, eating downtown, etc. The description of the house is very accurate! It's very clean and the back yard is awesome!! Chloe is also extremely helpful and nice! She was very easy to reach whenever I had any questions. I definitely recommend this place for an Austin trip! "
955612,28460824,2015-03-24,23423409,Debbie,"The house was just as nice as it looks on the website.  The backyard is wonderful, and a great place to chill and relax with a group of friends. The website is accurate in saying it is very conveniently located to the airport & downtown. It was the perfect location for a bunch of my friends & I to enjoy SXSW. Chloe was very helpful, and helped us arrange car service to/from SXSW."
955612,30275775,2015-04-20,548471,Chuck,Awesome House. We love staying here. It is close to everything but far enough away that it is very quiet. House has plenty of room and the back yard is awesome.
955612,31343438,2015-05-04,30341114,Clayton,Great location and near to everything in Austin. Chloe was extremely helpful and our stay was enjoyable!
955612,34566940,2015-06-09,33998206,Kerry,"House is exactly as pictured on website. Clean, comfortable, and in a nice, quiet family neighborhood setting. The backyard is spacious and a great place to relax after a long day. We stayed here as a group for work, and the house met all of our needs. It was particularly nice to have a washer/dryer and a full kitchen with spacious fridge so we could go grocery shopping. Thank you, Chloe, for opening your home to us!!"
955612,36588072,2015-06-29,11949155,Olivia,"I stayed at Chloe's place with a group of 10 friends and we had a wonderful time! The house is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood but has plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment just a short car ride away. 

The home was very comfortable, had plenty of beds, and suited all of our needs. We sincerely appreciated Chloe's willingness to host us and would definitely stay here again!"
955612,38276344,2015-07-14,2862865,Rachel,"Chloe was very helpful. She swung by to make sure we had everything we needed and even took the time to give me a restaurant recommendation! The house was fantastic for me and my 6 friends and was in a great location for us. Great house/space, very clean. "
955612,40009518,2015-07-27,38383186,Erin,"Easy check in, check out process."
955612,45990538,2015-09-07,40596044,Carlos,"Had a weekend stay for a bachelor party, and couldn't have been happier with location, to living space for a group of ten. 
The pictures do not do its justice, awesome backyard, great place to stay. Highly recommend."
955612,50616857,2015-10-13,29192415,Krystal,"Four friends and I visited Austin for ACL festival. Great place! Awesome outside space and very spacious. Chloe was very accommodating and friendly, even offered us a ride to the festival! Would definitely stay here again! "
955612,52817650,2015-11-02,35425366,Dana,"This house was very functional and in a good location for the long weekend in Austin for a bachelorette party. There were 6 of us and this house had enough lounging space, beds,  and bathrooms - it worked out well for us!"
949688,3783971,2013-03-14,5257916,Jon,Allissa was gracious host and was very accomodating. She really worked with me to make my group's trip/stay as smooth and relaxing as possible. Her humble abode was a perfect compliment to our stay Austin and I won't hesitate to give her another call when I am back in Austin! Thanks Allissa!
949688,4250933,2013-04-22,737883,Petro,"Alissa was a great host!  The house was just as described and we had no issues there over the weekend.  Alissa did a great job thinking of the small details - we had plenty of extra keys, a list of places to visit, and even a welcome basket!

"
949688,10381438,2014-02-17,10799320,Daniel,The host was great-all our questions answered well before our arrival. Allissa went out of her way to accommodate everyone in our group (we had an infant and a shih tzu in the group as well). The house is excellent-very Austin-and we had all the necessities. Location was walkable to UT and the setup of the house was perfect for our large group. Thanks Allissa for making us feel at home! 
949688,10997899,2014-03-17,9429524,Louis,"Allissa took such great care of my friends and me! The house was wonderful and it slept 9 comfortably. Allissa provided enough keys for all of us and she even left a nice welcome basket!

We had a great time at SXSW and we'd absolutely stay at Allissa's place again. Thanks for everything!"
949688,19206838,2014-09-08,18097990,Steve,Place was great. Exactly what we needed. We had 10 guys come in for a fantasy football draft. Allissa was very accommodating and answered any questions we had within minutes. Her place is only minutes from downtown and had plenty of place for everyone to sleep. I'd recommend her place for any large group looking to go out downtown. 
949688,20434610,2014-09-29,20555056,Michael,Allissa was an absolutely wonderful host and very accommodating. Couldn't have asked for a better stay! Would recommend to anyone needing to stay in the Austin area!! 
949688,21199099,2014-10-13,8479902,Wendy,"7 of us stayed at Allissa's house for ACL, and it was great!  Would do again!  House: beautifully decorated and maintained.  It sleeps 6 easily on 3 full/queen beds in separate bedrooms, plus another 3-4 on futons as needed.  Since it's an older structure, it does come with a few quirks--for example, because of the tankless water heater and water pressure, only one person can shower at a time even though there are two full bathrooms.  Note that she has a cat--the cat will not be at the house when you are, but might be an issue for someone who is highly sensitive.  Location: quiet residential neighborhood, the house is located next to a cemetery.  Quick $8 Uber ride away from the east end of 6th St and Rainey, or about $16 to the west end of 6th/Zilker Park.  Host: Allissa was great at sending a big list of recommendations for things to do in the area and elsewhere around town, and left very specific instructions for directions, the house, etc.  There were plenty of linens and towels, and she was very communicative before and throughout the entire trip!"
949688,21703141,2014-10-22,5080615,Dennis,This place was perfect for myself and my 9 friends on vacation in Austin. The location is great and the house is comfy and fun! Highly recommended for a fun Austin experience! 
949688,21956758,2014-10-27,21402032,Laura,"Allissa was unbelievably accommodating! The house is beautiful and quiet, with more than enough room, beds/futons, sheets, towels, and keys for all 8 of us. Not only that, but we came in after a long day of traveling to free wine and beer in the fridge, and eggs, bacon, and oatmeal at our disposal for breakfast the next day! Allissa's home did have some quirks that took getting used to; the master bathroom doesn't have a door, the shower handles in the master bathroom need to be pushed in fairly hard to get hot water, and the tankless water heater needs some coaxing in order to work properly, but Allissa was there when we arrived to explain these things to us and give us clear instructions and they turned out just fine. Allissa emailed me the day of our arrival to tell me that the kitchen sink was leaking and that she had to turn the water off, but she provided jugs of water for us in the fridge. It was a bit difficult to clean up after breakfast the first day, but later that day Allissa ran a hose in from the yard so we would have water in the kitchen the rest of the weekend. She really went above and beyond to fix the problem, and I'm sure Home Depot got to know her very well that weekend. It also gave me peace of mind to know that Allissa was staying closeby in case there were any additional issues. Her house is a quick Uber ride to Rainey and 6th Sts and there are some cafes and restaurants within walking distance of the house. Allissa has encyclopedic knowledge of everything a visitor could possibly want to do in Austin and her emails were a great resource for us. She also has a Google TV, but I promise you that you will never be bored enough to sit and watch it!
All in all, we had a wonderful weekend in Austin and I would absolutely stay with Allissa again."
949688,22354256,2014-11-04,16626009,Luke,We were in Austin for usgp. Having Alissa's home as a home base was great and at this point can't see myself using a hotel for this sort of trip again.  After trying to go broke at an outlet mall between Austin and San Antonio we arrived at the house around 8pm. It was such a pleasant surprise to find the fridge stocked with breakfast and best of all some cold beer. As well a bottle of vino.  The house has a lot of character and the area was very quiet all day long. 4 separate sleeping areas worked out great.  Thanks so much Allissa. 
949688,22579172,2014-11-10,20063992,Raj,It was a very smooth experience.  The house was ready on time.  Allissa was very prompt in responding to emails and txts.  The house was very clean.  Overall we had 8 guests and we all had a very comfortable stay when we came for a Texas football game.  It's walking distance from the stadium!  After the game we walked home and didn't have to deal with traffic.  I would recommend!  
949688,23501115,2014-12-02,22608180,Molly,Alissa's house was great for accommodating our family for Thanksgiving. We loved that she had all the little things that you don't want to buy when you're on vacation like olive oil. Our kiddos loved the huge fenced yard and we sat out cracking pecans from the yard on the porch for hours and lazed around on the bench swing. Easy bike to downtown. Thanks for our stay!
949688,25014631,2015-01-05,21688699,Jonathan,Great host. Very honest and provided much valuable information about austin and the surrounding neighborhood. 
949688,25591981,2015-01-20,22531405,Josh,Staying with Allissa was great.  The house was perfect for our bachelor party.  Allissa was a great host and even left us a gift basket and food for breakfast.  She gave plenty of recommendations for us and was helpful if we needed anything via text or call.  She made sure we had plenty of beds and linens.  Would definitely recommend staying here to any of my friends.
949688,25853829,2015-01-27,19688496,Matt,Our stay was great! The place was conveniently located to events we planned on attending. Our host was prompt to answer any questions and helpful with places to visit and see while we were visiting. Would definitely stay there again!
949688,26065676,2015-02-02,25899722,Alicia,"I had such a pleasurable experience in Austin at Allissa's home. A group of girls and I stayed for the weekend for a bachelorette party, and it suited us perfectly! Allissa was extremely helpful in setting up the arrangements for the weekend and gave us plenty of suggestions of where to eat and things to do during our stay! In addition, she was very accommodating to our schedule and got back with me quickly on any concerns I had. We had a blast! I would highly recommend her home and would consider staying again in the future. "
949688,27000335,2015-02-23,9786393,Adam,Allissa is top class! Her home was lauded by all the gents staying for a bachelor party. We all felt very comfortable while in the house and were close to where we wanted to go when we got out. I would recommend and definitely stay there again the next time we have a large group. Thanks Allissa!!
949688,27647137,2015-03-09,25969923,Edwin,Allissa was a great host.  The group enjoyed the little things that she provided in the house on arrival such as beer and breakfast in the fridge.  The house was in great condition and had a nice outside space.  She made sure our stay was very comfortable and provided great information about Austin and the surrounding neighborhood.  A short cab ride was needed to access all the places we visited throughout the city.  I would recommend her home to anyone else and stay there again in the future.
949688,28199481,2015-03-20,2196369,David,"With a mixed group of seven people we visited Austin for SXSW. Alissa's house provided us far more than beds and shelter, it made us all become friends. House and neighborhood were perfect. The atmosphere of the house is fantastic. Already planning our stay for next year. Although we didn't meet Alissa in person, she checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything. Everything went very smoothly and we'd love to come back here one day. "
949688,28376522,2015-03-23,18266155,Jonathan,Beautiful home full of character with all amenities we needed. Convenient location to the Airport and UT Austin. Easy walk to E. Austin and quick uber/lyft to downtown and South Congress. Plenty of space both inside and out. 
949688,28780212,2015-03-30,25501865,A.J.,"Wonderful place to stay, host was extremely helpful. Definitely recommend "
949688,29281448,2015-04-06,27417149,Brandon,"Allissa was an amazing, accommodating host. The house was wonderful for my party of 8 adults and was a tremendous value. Would definitely stay here again!"
949688,29907752,2015-04-14,2086852,Kim,Allissa was such a wonderful host.  Our guests (artist we brought to Austin) were delighted with her hospitality and beautiful home in a great part of Austin. 
949688,30765151,2015-04-27,15234033,Robb,"We recently had a group of 10 guys stay at Allissa's place and we loved it. The house itself was perfect for our stay as it provided ample areas for sleeping and cooking inside and the back yard was a fantastic place to hang out and grill by the fire pit.  Was a short walk to lots of attractions.  There was a local 24 hour coffee cafe about 4 blocks away which was much needed most mornings.  The rest of the city was just a short taxi ride away.

Allissa was also a fantastic host who was quick to guide our group to all that Austin had to offer.  This being our first time to Austin, she sent me a few emails well before with the best restaurants, bars, and sites to see in the city.  It was a long and detailed list that helped tremendously with planning our trip. She was also very quick to answer any questions I had during our stay there with a quick text message.  Some of the guys had late flights out on our last day and she was flexible with the check out time so we didn't have to luge bags around the city or head to the airport hours before our flight.

I would recommend Allissa's house to anyone going to Austin with a group of people.  I know if I find myself heading back to Austin with a large group I would love to stay there again."
949688,31307611,2015-05-04,16879624,Brian,Allissa was a great host and had a wonderful home. Perfect for our group and very close to every place we wanted to go. Would absolutely come back if I return to the Austin area.
949688,31885778,2015-05-11,13159704,Alex,"Four of my friends and I stayed at Allissa's house for two nights and really enjoyed it. The house felt really spacious and slept all of us comfortably. It is decorated very nicely and felt really cozy. Allissa was very accommodating, and left us with some wine and food to enjoy. The only aspects of the house that I didn't love was the small amount of available parking and the slightly sketchy neighborhood. "
949688,32475797,2015-05-18,28309145,Rafael Joey,"Don't judge a book by its cover.  The pictures provided were spot on.  The interior of the house is tastefully decorated and the accommodations were very comfortable.  The location is convenient to everything we wanted to do, specially the time Franklin BBQ miraculously had a short line and we phoned our housemates and they were all there from the house within 2 minutes.  Back to the opening line, when we first drove up, Stephen King came to mind, until we got inside the home.  Overall it was a comfortable experience."
949688,33353910,2015-05-27,11326011,Tracy,"This place is adorable! Allissa was so nice and helpful. Recommending local food, bars, grocery stores, entertainment, etc. We had 10 in our group and all had comfortable places to sleep. Great value. Thank you so much, Alllissa! It was an amazing week, despite the crazy weather! "
949688,33780059,2015-06-01,28977075,Tim,We had a great time here - Alissa has a fantastic spot in east Austin and she takes good care of her guests. She's also highly responsive. I highly recommend staying at her home.
949688,34399763,2015-06-08,15395884,Brian,Everything was greatly and exactly how it was described.
949688,35804703,2015-06-22,21109615,Elana,"This was probably the best airbnb experience I've ever had. There were 10 of us staying at the house for a little college reunion. The house was very nice, clean, and large. There was plenty of room (and beds) for everyone. Allissa made the check-in/check-out experience extremely easy - especially since we had people arriving at all different times. I wasn't the first one to arrive and it was no problem for my friends to get checked-in. Allissa left everything so organized that we were never looking for or needing anything (lots of towels, extra bedding if needed). We usually cooked breakfast at the house and the kitchen had everything we needed to do so. We also appreciated all of the little touches in the house. Getting around town was easy - we mostly split ubers, but we also walked to a few nearby places (check out The Wheel and Austin Daily Press). I would definitely recommend staying here - It's perfect for groups."
949688,39936337,2015-07-27,2463578,Sonny,"This home is beautiful and in an awesome area of Austin. The pictures are very accurate and Allissa is honestly one of the best hosts I've encountered in my AirBnB time. She was very flexible with our arrival & departure, provided us some welcome goodies, and kept me in the loop prior to coming. Beds were comfortable and a few nice areas to hang out, relax, and enjoy some beer. I guarantee that you will be pleased"
949688,41359258,2015-08-07,34758195,Fahad,"The experience was really delightful. I and my family lived at Alissa's house for almost a month, and the experience couldn't be any better. Alissa was very accommodating and gracious. She always made sure that my family and I are comfortable. If I have to rent a house again, Alissa's surely would be the one."
949688,44151025,2015-08-24,8088936,Dusty,"We had a group of 12 guys stay in Austin for a bachelor party and Allissa's home was perfect for our needs. The house had plenty of room for everyone to sleep, there were extra linens and plenty of towels, and the location is perfect as it was a short uber to DT and we could walk to UT. This was my first airbnb experience and it was perfect. Also, enough can not be said about Allissa as a host, she was very attentive to any need or special request we may have had and was only there when we requested her. She also gave us many great suggestions of things to do while in Austin, and even left us beer in the fridge upon our arrival. I would highly recommend her home for your stay."
949688,46119250,2015-09-08,32914918,Peter,"Me and my 6 college buddies had an excellent stay in Alissa's AirBnB over Labor Day weekend. The house was clean and well kept, and most importantly for us there was plenty of room. Everyone got a comfortable sleeping position, and this home does indeed have room for 8 without having to share a bed, as long as one takes the comfy couch downstairs. Great location and excellent information from the host. Would stay again."
949688,47964508,2015-09-22,6132235,Robert,"Allissa was a wonderful host, and her house was a fantastic place to stay for a weekend. 12 of us stayed over for a Longhorns football game and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The house is well-furnished, and kept in good condition. 
- The house includes at least 8 beds or futon mattresses, with ample room for sleeping bags on soft carpet. 
- The A/C and washer/dryer units were particularly useful. 
- In addition to the included parking spots, ample street parking was available. 
- Location is as good as you can hope - walking distance to the UT campus, and a short ride away from most other downtown attractions in Austin. 
- The piano was a nice bonus!

Allissa was responsive and accommodating. Thanks Allissa!"
949688,48679048,2015-09-28,33682143,Kim,Allissa gets an A+ on communication.  We corresponded a lot after I first booked and then again about a week before our stay.  I felt like she gave me lots of information and I felt properly equipped to stay at her house.  The house was immaculately cleaned and very tidy.  I would be happy to recommend her to other Airbnbers!
949688,49762849,2015-10-06,32589044,Hannah,"Allissa was a wonderful host, and we LOVED the house. Allissa and I communicated a good amount before me and my group traveled to Austin, and she immediately made me feel welcome. She offered a very detailed list of things to do in the area, restaurants to try, neighborhoods to check out, etc. We actually used this list pretty frequently while we were in Austin- so the list is very helpful for newbies. When we arrived, we were very pleased with the look and feel of the house. It was so cozy and well-decorated! We had plenty of space and were extremely comfortable and happy with our stay. I loved the jacuzzi tub, and all the little coves inside the home. I also love the shape of the house (especially the upstairs). The washer/dryer was a major plus - we all cleaned our clothes before we went home. The house is surrounded by pretty green trees and a very nice yard. Overall, the house has a lot of character, and we felt very at-home. We will definitely look this place up again if we go back to Austin, and I'd recommend it to anyone I know looking for an Airbnb in the area. "
949688,50428030,2015-10-12,11712521,Linda,"We were there for ACL and the home was perfect for 10 of us! She was kind enough to leave us some snacks and refreshments. Although the location wasn't the most ideal for the festival itself, it was still just an uber ride away, And it was perfect for going downtown (no more than 5 minutes away)! The home itself was comfortable and cozy. I would definitely stay there again!"
949688,51014247,2015-10-17,8107003,Steve,"Very nice location, close to all things Austin. Very helpful and available hostess."
8293552,48807869,2015-09-28,44496474,Puja,"Apartment was great, very clean and felt like home. Directions were easy to get to / from; neighboors were kind. Martin was easy to get in touch with!"
8293552,49662389,2015-10-05,43708267,Rebecca,"Martin's apartment was super nice and modern, exactly as described. The neighborhood was great and convenient. I felt very safe the entire time I was there. Everything was clean and there were more than enough amenities. "
8293552,52286632,2015-10-27,4689326,Heather,"Martins place was very comfy and cozy and worked for the 3 of us. The apartment was nicely decorated, and you can tell Martin enjoys his home. The Neighborhood is a little sketchy, and the complex/ apartment is a little old, though they updated the floors recently. I also noticed that the apartment seemed to be at an angle and sloped which  caused doors to swing open."
5755416,37092259,2015-07-04,1731836,Libby,"Brian is a very communicative host even though I never saw him. I didn't have any issues at all and loved the house and it's furnishings. It felt very private and was quiet & relaxing. The beds are super comfortable and the washer & dryer was very convenient. Clarksville is a great little neighborhood in central Austin so it was easy to quickly drive to lots of things or even walk down the street for restaurants/cafes/groceries/etc. I previously lived in Austin for a number of years and came back to visit - I can say that this is a great spot to be. Would recommend and also stay again. Thanks, Brian!"
5755416,37416276,2015-07-06,37096824,Shea,We recently stayed at Brian's place over the weekend. It was a perfect little fully-restored cottage in an awesome part of Austin. The place was packed with character and Brian provided us with as much help and supplies as we'd ever need. The area was perfect as we were a short walk from multiple great restaurants. We will definitely be looking Brian up again for our next trip to Austin.
5755416,47831112,2015-09-21,12652004,New,"We had a great time at this lovely cottage. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is great and the neighborhood is ideal. We love sitting on the front porch having coffee.
Brian was a great host. He was accommodating, helpful and responded quickly to all emails. He made sure we had coffee for the kitchen and gave us flexibility for our check out."
5755416,49833469,2015-10-06,3527488,Anna,"Very quaint cottage in a great neighborhood. If you like cute and rustic this is the place. Great spots to sit outside, very comfortable, though small, beds, clean and cozy. Wonderful walking to great restaurants and a nice little grocery and only 10 minute drive to downtown Austin. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!"
5755416,50484156,2015-10-12,32782312,Julia,Had a great time staying at this beautiful unique cottage. The cottage had everything we needed to feel 'home from home' and had been decorated with style and comfort in mind. Our host Brian was always available to answer any questions we had and provided a friendly service. The cottage itself is located in a friendly neighbourhood with both down town Austin and other attractions such as Zilker Park within walking distance. Look forward to returning again :-) 
5755416,51281069,2015-10-19,41074829,Daryl,"What a great cottage in a great location.  Clean, cool/eclectic furnishings, and in a quiet neighborhood that is walkable to so many nice spots.  Host made sure I arrived and found everything I needed.  Would definitely stay here again."
5755416,52192443,2015-10-26,3141994,Erin,"This was a great place to stay during Formula1 weekend! Brian was very responsive and helpful, and we wished we'd considered cooking with the adorable retro-upgraded kitchen and ample supplies. The two sparkling waters in the fridge were very much appreciated after a long flight as well!"
8015340,50489220,2015-10-12,27329191,Amanda,"Amanda welcomed us with open arms. She was very kind, and gave us some great recommendations. The trailer was very chic, which made for a fun experience. Her cat, Turkey, is ADORABLE. Hanging out with the folks in the co-op proved to be very entertaining as well."
8015340,51601942,2015-10-21,2502401,Isabel,The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8015340,52364623,2015-10-28,40767118,Alex,"As soon as Amanda showed me the trailer, she invited me out to a gig with her friends. She was super great host and the housemates were fun to hang out with. Staying in her trailer for a week allowed me to relax and go and see all parts of Austin. It was the perfect place for my holiday. "
5231382,28167311,2015-03-19,1884018,Dagmar,Michelle was so so so amazing! They made it feel as though we lived in Austin and the house was not only beautiful but so comfortable! She was also great at communication -even quickly answering questions we had about where she got her coffee table because we fell in love with it and want to get one just like it. Wonderful hosts with a great and comfortable house! Would love to stay here again! ❤️❤️❤️
5231382,28475056,2015-03-24,27658244,Matthew,"I stayed here with 5 other friends. The house was very nice and true to the description. Between the three beds and airbeds that we brought there was space to sleep everyone comfortably. The location worked out perfectly for us. We were able to walk both to bars and food on South Congress about a mile away and there are some restaurants, coffee shops, and food trucks much closer on 1st. One of the mornings I walked over to 1st and grabbed breakfast tacos and coffee, then came back and ate on the porch outside. It was a lovely morning. There is also a convenient bus stop on 1st, so we took one down to visit the capitol and then walk around the city. It was very easy. The neighborhood seemed really nice. The house is at the end of a dead end street and there is a big, fenced-in center across the street so initially I was a little unsure, but the house is very cute and after walking around the neighborhood there are lots of nice homes and the walking felt easy and safe. One of the taxi drivers who drove some of my friends from the airport also commented to us that this is a really nice neighborhood. The house was very clean and well maintained and Michelle left very clear instructions and was very responsive and made us feel at home. She sent us a list of nearby food recommendations that proved useful. 

All in all we had a great weekend and we would definitely stay there again if we went back to Austin.  "
5231382,30873661,2015-04-28,29130958,Kimberly,"We loved our stay in Austin! Michelle's house was everything we hoped for and more. We easily walked pretty much everywhere we wanted to go...and we were being lazy, an uber ride was very inexpensive :) Quiet street, beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, close to great restaurants. Michelle was always very quick to respond to our questions. Hope we can return sometime! "
5231382,33298329,2015-05-26,32756488,Molly,Our experience at the property was wonderful. It was exactly what we expected based on the description. Upon arrival Michelle left a note welcoming us and giving instructions for our check-in and check out along with a bottle of wine. The location was perfect and walkable to many bars and restaurants on South First and South Congress. Overall it was a great experience and we would recommend the property to friends. 
5231382,49771526,2015-10-06,36541918,Mark,"We (3 couples) stayed here for the ACL Music Festival. Clean, updated home. Feels very homey. We walked to brunch on Congress every morning. By the time we shared all our festival stories from the day before, we were in the heart of restaurant row and all the shops. We took an Uber from the concert home every night. I plan on staying here every ACL festival. "
5231382,52207625,2015-10-27,32628635,David,"We stayed here during the Formula 1 race weekend. The location is fantastic, the house is fantastic, and Michelle was a fantastic hostess. It’s experiences like this that make AirBNB so great. If you are planning an Austin getaway, I’d highly recommend this perfect little house. "
699477,28173577,2015-03-19,14266881,Bernadette,"Spacious, quiet, clean - everything one needs whether traveling for business or pleasure in a beautiful tree lined family neighborhood. The private cottage had all the necessary amenities and more - great bandwidth, coffee / tea making, bar fridge, full bathroom w/ shampoo/soap/etc, comfortable chairs & reading lights.  You have privacy, peace and quiet in what feels like home away from home in the colorful, welcoming city of Austin!  Downtown is just a 10 minute taxi or car service away and the international airport is 30 minutes away (without traffic). 5 stars! I look forward to my next visit!"
6316931,32618889,2015-05-19,15879846,Eric,Rodney and his place was perfect. Close to the airport and downtown Austin. He was very responsive and everything was just as advertised. Highly recommend Rodney and his place if ever you're in Austin!
6316931,35731040,2015-06-21,33384503,Kristi,"Rodney was very accommodating on check in/out.  We rode our bikes so we weren't sure exactly when we'd arrive, which we were there 2 hours early.  I text him that we arrived and he met us outside.
Apartment was exactly as stated on his page.  It was very convenient that the Metro Rail was walking distance from apartment, which we used Sat. night to go downtown.   We really had a great time and would stay there again.       "
6316931,40652029,2015-08-01,38506576,David,"Rodney's place is great! The apartment complex is modern and fairly brand new. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. I didn't get to meet Rodney in person, but we communicated through messaging. Overall, had a good experience. "
8428806,49688777,2015-10-05,7115083,Dallas,"Amber was incredibly welcoming, responsive & accommodating of our schedule. She provided towels, bath products and even left some excellent Austin beer for us in the fridge for us to enjoy (very nice touch!).

The apartment was decently furnished in a near perfect location in Downtown Austin within walking distance of West 6th and Zilker Park.

The only downside is that the apartment did not have WIFI and had horrible cell service (though this could have been partially due to its proximity to the ACL music festival). Without internet or cell service, we were essentially forced to leave the apartment to communicate with the outside world. 

Overall an excellent host, decent apartment (with no WIFI/cell service being the only drawback) in a near perfect location."
8428806,50718670,2015-10-13,45911419,Renata,I had a great experience staying at Amber's place! Very clean and comfy! She left clean towels and beer available for us. I definitely would stay at her place again! 
5434382,28111347,2015-03-17,4080756,Dale,Julia's space was incredibly convenient and very clean. I would definitely stay here again.
5434382,29790116,2015-04-12,30554998,Sarah,"Never met Julia or Sara, but the place was clean and inviting. The actual room is not the same as the one pictured but still met our needs. Pretty basic, but great location and close to everything we needed. The other guests were nice as well! There were towels as well! Very clean! "
5434382,30173455,2015-04-18,30872070,Joanna,"(This is a duplicate review request, we did not change location but extended our stay)"
5434382,30269953,2015-04-19,28582951,Hannah,"The home was absolutely lovely and very easy to access. The space was clean, with fine amenities. I very much enjoyed my time in Austin and feel Julia is a very gracious host!"
5434382,30434797,2015-04-21,30872070,Joanna,"Clean, great location, keyless entry was super convenient. There was some communal food available in the kitchen. We originally booked 2 nights and ended up staying 5 while we looked for a place to live in Austin. Julia was incredibly flexible and gracious in letting us extend our reservation day by day as needed. Very prompt with replies.

Depending on what you are looking for, a possible downside is this spot's relatively impersonal arrangement. You probably won't meet your hosts and the place overall had a ""crash pad"" feel. Most guests seemed to stay only for one night, often arriving late after a night out at bars or festivals. "
5434382,30571377,2015-04-24,23915408,Leonel,great place just like in the pictures
5434382,31023229,2015-04-30,3972603,Michael,"Great spot! The place was clean, the other airbnb tenants were friendly, and we couldn't have asked for a better location. The entire place is kept up to the standards of a nice hotel, only difference being your sharing the bathroom/kitchen/living space with the two other rooms in the home. The neighborhood is fun, plenty of great bars and restaurants, we enjoyed wandering along E 6th at night and picking whatever place had the best music. I can recommend the White Horse for classic Texas two-stepping and cheap drinks, Hotel Vegas for some Austin garage/indie/psych rock, and Liberty Bar for craft beer and the pork bun food truck in the back. Good hub if you have a bike to get around wherever. And Julia was very communicative and easy to work with when we decided to extend our reservation another day. Perfect experience."
5434382,31417757,2015-05-04,1278574,Scott,It was such a lovely clean place. Kilos was really responsive and took care of us so well. I'd definitely stay there again. 
5434382,31621489,2015-05-07,32626221,Andrew,"House was clean, and close to the action. Pretty convenient. Didn't seem like anyone was living there and that it was setup purely for airbnb. Price I paid was 55/night after fees and such, so the price went up after I booked. Dunno if it's worth it to me at that price point, but was a good value for what I paid. Guess that's just economics for ya."
5434382,32425918,2015-05-17,5123810,Daniel,"Julia's place was just right. Nice clean room, good communication on how to access the house/room, and the location was close enough to downtown that only short Uber rides were necessary to see the fun parts of the city. The room was very basic, but clean. Overall a nice, efficient setup for visiting Austin. Although I didn't meet Julia she was very responsive to questions. I would recommend to others. "
5434382,32668654,2015-05-19,13170265,Aleksandra,"The room we stayed in was nice and the bed was very comfortable. There was another guest staying in the house when we were there and the house is keyless. The host doesn't live there, so it lacks any personal touch. The house is in a neighborhood within walking distance of a lot of good restaurants and shops. You could tell the house hadn't been cleaned that recently, but it served its purpose for our one night stay. "
5434382,32847865,2015-05-22,32871697,Nikka,"Great first experience with AirBnB and with Julia!  House was clean.  The other people staying in the house were all quiet and nice.  Sarah was very helpful.  Overall, exactly what I was looking for!  :)"
5434382,34922395,2015-06-13,88096,Aaron,Decent little hostel style room.  Close to 6th street.
5434382,35978674,2015-06-23,2632850,Juanita & Lutz,"Unfortunately I never met Julia. The house was exclusively for guests and no host was seen during my stay. The house was clean and a maintenance guy came to check things. The location to downtown was good. 
Odd was when an Enforcement Officer of the Austin Code Compliance Department came and asked me questions about the house and the owner. The officer insured me that owner of the house is male and not the women from the profile. Due to this fact I never saw the host it made me wonder of the authenticity of the Airbnb profile.
Only 3 stars because of the unclear host situation, otherwise it was a pleasant stay."
5434382,37710555,2015-07-09,22213303,Sarah,"I didn't actually stay at Julia's but my partner did.

He said that the bed was extremely comfortable, the house was very clean and overall he really enjoyed his stay there. It was a good base for him to see the best of Austin."
5434382,38780881,2015-07-18,4900368,Jacqueline,"Julia was very responsive and the place was spotless. Pictures were aligned with reality. The hosts have been super helpful, friendly, and clean. The premise was professionally run, clean towels and sheets were available at all times. My friend and I didn't hang out with the hosts but they gave us great recommendations. I highly recommend than is place."
5434382,39459625,2015-07-23,7936651,Sam,"Great place, good location (would be great if I had a car because it was summertime it was just a little too hot to walk every day) but not too bad nonetheless. The house itself was tidy and clean and the keyless door to the house and the room was amazing to keep your things secure. Would stay here again for sure. The other people staying here were really nice and we hung out a bit!"
5434382,39721529,2015-07-25,7038736,Eden,"Room was modest but clean, neighborhood was a bit iffy at night.  I didn't meet the host."
5434382,40298381,2015-07-29,37632669,Kelly, The place was not what I expected so I didn't even stay there.
5434382,41678443,2015-08-08,39663525,Jesus,"The place was clean. The pictures were right. The neighborhood is a little run, but you can walk at night. If I need to go back to Austin, then I will repeat it."
5434382,42369970,2015-08-12,41189044,Eric,Room was nice enough for crashing for the night. Bathroom and kitchen were upgraded and kept clean. The shower was awesome. Super cheap place close to 6th street bars. Would recommend and stay again
5434382,42501854,2015-08-13,40862786,Anthony,"I stayed at two of julias places in east austin. They were very clean, and she was very attentive to questions. Def recommend the spot!"
5434382,42644178,2015-08-14,4205569,Cory,"Nice space, highly recommended!"
5434382,43446946,2015-08-19,6250916,David,"The place is set up like a safehouse for airbnbers.  Get in with a combo, leave with your stuff.  Overall a great stay in a great location."
5434382,43707332,2015-08-21,40647877,Robin,"The room was clean and I appreciated the bedroom and house were keylocked. It made it very easy to come and go with no hassle at all. The neighbourhood directly around the house is still developing, but has some cool places to discover and bike rentals and uber make it easy to get around. Juliet was very fast responding to any questions I had."
5434382,44613821,2015-08-27,17267905,Chris,"I wish I didn't have to give a great review for this spot because I want it to be free when I travel to Austin, but the truth is, it's absolutely perfect. I travel to Austin a lot for work and have been using this house as my go to spot when I'm in Austin. It's in a great location, there is usually parking right in front of the house, and I'm in love with the shower. This particular bed is one of THE most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. There is no antenna to the t.v., but theres a dvd player. "
5434382,46358879,2015-09-09,14119608,Edward,"Place was very clean and nice, in a good location near to a few shops and restaurants. It was a little Spartan, but perfectly comfortable. My only complaint is that the walls are very thin and there are a few different rooms of guests, so you can hear everything everyone else does. This would not be a huge issue normally but in my situation the guests next to me came back very late at night and made lots of noise and woke me up. "
5434382,47111668,2015-09-15,38542627,Tabby,Highly recommended if you have a car. Fair air bnb experience. The neighborhood is not entirely safe. Walking distance to 5th and 6th st never walk at night but you mainly have to get ubers everywhere if you don't have a car.
5434382,47334049,2015-09-17,2097366,Alexa,"this was an airbnb experience unlike any other i've had anywhere else. it was purely transactional, and not relational. this house has been renovated strictly for airbnb and is managed as such. you'll have one of the three bedrooms rented out by others in the house. personally i missed the warmth and personalization and care any home would have if people actually lived there. if you're just looking for a clean room and bathroom in a dorm / hotel like setting, this will be great. also note that it is in a neighborhood that borders the gentrification going on in austin so there are some rough areas very close to the renovated areas. "
5434382,47446361,2015-09-18,44304753,Brian,Immaculate house with everything consistent with the instructions I received. 
5434382,48260494,2015-09-24,44527956,Gary,"Julia's place was nice. Before you show up she gives you the codes for the front door, and your room, which has it's own keypad lock. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and tidy. Comfy, clean bed. Perfect place to crash at the end of the day. "
5434382,49293938,2015-10-02,2410157,Joyce,"Julia and co. were very responsive on Airbnb messaging, but there was no real welcome at the house. Besides Julia, I ended up talking to two other people. This didn't feel very personal and it worried me whether or not the place was legit. When I got there, it felt like a new house and that no one lives there full-time.

It was really easy to check-in and check-out. The house was accessible via code on the doorknob to the main entrance and the door of room numbered with a 2. It was in between two other rooms. Because of this type of access to the house and minimal coordination of times between handing off keys or access (3pm checkin and 11am checkout), I was able to checkin 5.5 hours later with no problems. That's a huge plus since my plans changed so much that day.

The place was super clean and the bedding was minimal. There were two towels, but no shampoo as the listing said. The wifi information on the fridge wasn't there, but I didn't ask for it because I had limited time in the apartment. There was a binder of places to see and do but I didn't have time to really look and try suggestions. 

There were two other people staying there that night. I met one of them briefly and he was a young traveler who had a nice demeanor about him. They were a bit loud in the morning, but it was a little after 9am, and the walls were thin so they sounded louder to me.

The neighborhood has its rough spots. I've heard mixed accounts about walking at night. The CapMetroRail is quite close, so walking from the CP Austin Junction station is somewhat okay at night, but I would not recommend it to be on the safe side.

During the day, I walked from there to East 11th Street to Rosewood Avenue to go to Quickie Pickie. I felt safe. It took me about 30 minutes to get there. I saw new and custom built houses peppered in the neighborhood filled with homes that are in very poor condition with unkempt front yards. 

From there, I decided to walk to the CapMetroStation Plaza Saltillo and saw broken glass from two cars on Navasota Street and East 5th Street.

This setup is not necessarily a bad thing because it's the perfect place to book if all you need to do is two things: to shower and to crash. As always, be mindful of your surroundings.

"
5434382,49985189,2015-10-08,503355,Tetsuro,Great place! Very affordable and had everything we needed.
5434382,50970126,2015-10-16,45569911,Reto,"Good, clean, simple, and safe place to be. Easily reachable by bus, although it is slightly outside of downtown. Bit of walking didn't hurt. 
Everything was ready and organized getting in. And I received help when I needed it.  Thank you so much!"
5434382,51518434,2015-10-20,43839899,Greg,Julia and Guesties Airbnb is well located 10 min from downtown by car. The rooms were clean and comfy and so was the bathroom. It more felt like a hotel than an Airbnb because we never saw the hosts and all communication was via the app. We got to use the washer and dryier which was great.
1028169,4200872,2013-04-17,1659584,Scott,"My girlfriend and I rented this lovely house during our visit to Austin.  Darby and Aaron welcomed us upon our arrival - they were very friendly, giving us a great many suggestions for our visit and even invited us to a wiffleball game they were going to play with their friends on a beach off the downtown lake!  
We were extremely happy with the location - just off Lamar in south Austin, as it was close to a ton of fun restaurants and bars, and crazy close to Barton Springs and Zilker Park.  Along with the house rental, there was an assortment of kayaks and bikes for use as well!  We really enjoyed biking over to Barton Springs Pool and then laying out.  And our evening finished off with sipping wine on the back patio, looking out onto the starry night.
Highly recommended rental for your visit to Austin!"
5571183,28292332,2015-03-21,21739346,Nadia,"Amanda was the best airbnb hostess experience I have ever had! 
Thank you for your warm hospitality and willingness to help me out so much. 
She was so friendly and the spot is just cosy and homey and perfect to spend your time in Austen in! What a cool city
The backyard is so lovely and the room super cosy and nice "
5571183,41051940,2015-08-03,39524524,Brett,"Amanda was very welcoming when we showed up at the house. It was in a nice neighborhood similar to some of the others we have visited. Amanda was very polite and accomodating to the 3 of us, even though the room is only listed for 1-2. The room is pretty small and the futon will fit 2 but you will have to be close together. "
878711,8082558,2013-10-15,4067392,Robert (Bob),"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!  My wife and I stayed here to attend the 2013 Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL), which is an easy 3/4 mile walk...so convenient!  Downtown, the State Capitol, the University of Texas, and South Congress (SoCo), are all quick, easy drives.  The condo is very well-decorated, fully-supplied, and clean.  John is a great guy, and a welcoming, helpful host."
878711,10953767,2014-03-15,3378720,Katherine,"John's apartment is really nice, spacious, and with great furnishings (including a foam mattress that is really comfortable!).  It's in a good location, within walking distance to downtown Austin, SoCo, and Zilker.

John himself was extremely responsive and helpful during SXSW, a time when a lot of other hosts can be flaky.  

I'd recommend John and his apartment to anyone!"
878711,20821146,2014-10-06,1189511,Amy,"What a fantastic place to stay in Austin! John was very explicit in his check in procedures, communication was great. The condo is BEAUTIFUL and very clean. He had a note for us and ammenities in the fridge for us. The location of the condo is perfect walking distance to most everything you will need in the downtown, S. Lamar and Congress areas. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a quiet, clean, beautiful place to stay in Austin."
878711,21277337,2014-10-14,14209500,Sarah,"Nothing but great things to say about our experience at John's condo.  The location was perfect for those traveling to ACL- it was a quick walk to and from Zilker Park, near some great restaurants, and only a $10 cab ride to other points of interest (South Congress, 6th St).  The condo is spacious, clean, and stylish, with a bed so comfortable it was hard to get out of some mornings.  We loved being able to take a quick dip in the pool out front after long hot days in the park.  John was an incredibly generous host, allowing us flexibility in check-in/check-out times to accommodate our flights in and out of town and replying promptly to all communication.  John is a host that goes out of his way to make you feel welcome, which was very appreciated.  We felt right at home!"
878711,28461016,2015-03-24,665749,Tom,"John's place is great, and as many other people have said it's a great location for all the amenities of the city, SXSW etc. It's immaculately finished and super-comfortable, a welcome getaway after your amazing days out in Austin. It was great knowing John was always on the end of the phone, but really everything you need for your stay is set up in the condo, you feel right at home. Highly recommended :)"
878711,50618987,2015-10-13,20086751,Ryan,"John was very helpful, polite and promote with responses. The accommodations were great. Clean, spacious, great location for ACL, 15 minute walk to the park. Great place to stay if you want somewhere quiet to sleep after the concert away from the 6th street crowd. "
1596096,15368724,2014-07-07,17305889,Tania,Nicole was a wonderful host!  Very responsive and professional!  She provided great information about the guest house before our stay and additional info about Austin in the guest house.  The guest house itself was exactly what I expected and it allowed for a truly amazing visit to Austin.  The location was perfect for us to see the many parts of Austin we were interested in exploring.  We used Uber and a few cabs here and there (airport was only 15 minutes from the guest house) but were mostly able to walk.  The beds were super comfortable and having filtered water in the guest house was really lovely (hot and humid so we drank a lot to stay hydrated)!!  A few blocks to a great little local market where we were able to pick up some wine and snacks for our stay.  Such a splendid experience!!!
1596096,17022414,2014-08-05,308632,James,This is a great place close to all the action in Austin. The home is very clean and well decorated. The host is very helpful. the stairs would be hard for older people with luggage.
1596096,25775759,2015-01-25,16277815,Pamela,What a wonderful place to stay.  Just minutes for downtown and so comfortable.  Would stay again soon. 
1596096,26329399,2015-02-09,26877193,Karyn,This was a perfect location for our first trip to Austin. Nicole had a great welcome note with additional ideas/places to visit during our stay. The guesthouse was clean and well kept and the private parking was a plus. I would absolutely recommend this for your stay in Austin!
1596096,26601538,2015-02-16,25554013,Sabrina,"This was a great experience. Nicole was awesome. The apartment was clean, adorable and spacious. It was in the perfect location for hitting up all the hot spots on south congress. We had a great time!"
1596096,26915732,2015-02-22,8310509,Sara,Nicole's place was great and just perfect for our girls trip to Austin! The location can't be beat just off South Congress plenty to do walking distance and a short ride anywhere else. The pictures were very accurate and size was just right for us four adults.  Nicole was so nice and responded quickly and accommodating. I would stay here again for sure.
1596096,31471706,2015-05-05,1988551,Chidimma And Aaron,"The home was even more beautiful in person than in the pictures, which says a lot considering the photos are already incredible! Nicole was very timely in answering any questions we had prior to the reservation and everything was clean and lovely! The location was super convenient- you are right next to food and shopping on Congress and within walking distance from lots of awesome food trucks on 1st! Loved having filtered water available- great touch! I would recommend this space to anyone and hope to visit again soon!!"
1596096,33064470,2015-05-25,25973882,Danielle,"Nicole was so welcoming and the place was exactly as described! Very clean and well kept! She even offered to help us get to shelter during the tornado warnings (yikes!) Thankfully, everything was fine and we had a great stay! "
1596096,33568821,2015-05-30,27496872,Miriam,"Our experience at Nicole's home was fantastic.  She went over and beyond to make us feel welcomed.  The place was beautiful, extremely clean and each room was inviting and comfortable.  She had added special touches so that nothing was needed other than our buying incidentals for breakfast.  Nicole's description of her home and the surrounding areas were exactly as described.  Nicole's place was a ""home away from home"".  Our sisters' reunion was made so special by this charming abode. This host and home comes very highly recommended."
1596096,35596935,2015-06-20,12701531,Daniel,"We had a chance to stay at Nicole's home last week and was really glad we did. The apartment itself was really nice, with two large bedrooms and a great kitchen/living room. More importantly this is in the best location you can find in the city. One quick block to the best shops, restaurants, bars in SOCO and easy access to everywhere else in the city. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully stay again next time we are in Austin. "
1596096,39194802,2015-07-21,36447836,Roxanne,Loved the place! Perfect location! Very comfortable. Love all the added touches. Home away from home. We will be back  and when we do we are staying here. Perfect for a family. 
1596096,39640559,2015-07-25,35915016,Caitlin,"This place beyond exceeded our expectations! Perfect location, super cute and extremely clean! You had your own entrance and parking spot! Would absolutely stay here everytime I go to Austin! Perfect!"
1596096,40949804,2015-08-03,30904904,Suzanne,Yes to all three.  She was available and not intrusive.  She welcomed us with a bottle of wine and lots of books on Austin so we could find the best things to do.  
1596096,42876902,2015-08-16,32967854,Annica,"We ventured to Austin for fun girls weekend and had the pleasure of staying with Nicole at her South Congress getaway. The apartment was exactly as it was described, with all of the bare necessities (and more!) provided. 

We had no major issues come up, but when I reached out to Nicole for quick questions, she would get back to me almost immediately. She was sweet enough to accommodate our late afternoon departure despite the morning checkout time and let us leave our bags until we left for the airport. 

We had a great time, enjoyed staying in SoCo and were glad to have the extra space to stretch out and relax after a long day out and about. "
1596096,43922230,2015-08-23,19735112,Lilly,"Great stay! Nicole's place was comfortable, clean, and convenient to exploring all parts of Austin. Our flight got in earlier than expected and Nicole was very accommodating in letting us check in early. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
1596096,44578040,2015-08-27,422762,Andrew,"The place was great! It was clean, fun, and you really can't beat the location, right in the heart of South Congress and within walking distance of both 1st St and downtown.

Nicole was detailed and responsive in her communication. The whole process went as smooth as silk. I highly recommend this place (as long as it's not during my next trip to Austin, because I plan to rent it again!)."
1596096,48586211,2015-09-27,2607966,Lindsey,This is a wonderful garage apartment in an excellent location!  Nicole also made the process very easy.  I would recommend this to any group of four looking for a place in the South Congress area.
1596096,49947528,2015-10-07,4146534,Brad,"Everything was perfect. The place was super nice, the location couldn't be better and Nicole was very helpful and always responded promptly. I hope to stay there again! "
1596096,51579018,2015-10-21,6784482,Harvey,Lovely carriage house cottage in great location close to South Congress.  Very well appointed and quite private.  Nicole was very helpful.
1596096,52357532,2015-10-28,46578218,Bart,"Better than advertised! The place was clean and had a great feel to it.  Nice and quiet at night.  

The best part was the location. Couple blocks off Congress and only a 15 minute walk to downtown.

You can't go wrong renting from Nicole she is a first class host."
838496,3386221,2013-01-21,4537412,Jeremy,"My gf and our friend were in Austin for a friend's wedding and after checking around airbnb, we decided on Dominique's condo on 1st Street.  The place was immaculate and you couldn't ask for a better location.  We were close to everything and even though we had a rental car, we easily could have walked or cabbed it everywhere we went.  Our entire stay, Dominique was readily accessible to us via text and was prompt to answer.  We were actually running a little late on our last day getting ready to leave and I asked her if would be ok if we were a little later than our anticipated move out time.  Her response was ""don't worry!"".  Great condo, great city!"
838496,3473472,2013-02-04,4364083,Jeffry,"Great location, big space, very clean and modern. Also near downtown. Dominique made sure we had everything prior to arrival and even stopped by to make sure everything was ok. Definetly would stay again when visiting Austin. "
838496,4365345,2013-04-30,173932,Jeremy,"The place is as advertised. Clean, convenient, easy access to downtown, and a nice parking spot.

There are great places up the street (La Barbecue) that give you that unique Austin experience. Outdoor dining at it's best.

Everything was very easy and convenient. "
838496,7511221,2013-09-23,7882893,Jami,"Wonderful condo, great location!"
838496,8083239,2013-10-15,2575758,Andrew,"Dominique was a pleasure to work with and a great host.  Her place is clean, comfortable, and well-located.  Thanks!"
838496,8684570,2013-11-12,1776003,Nick,"Setting up the stay with Dominique was very straightforward and efficient.  The townhouse was in a perfect Austin location a little south of the river, making it a great starting point for a nearby music festival and other downtown activities.  Also, having a door that you can unlock via code is a small, but much appreciated convenience when staying with a group of five.  I would definitely stay here again."
838496,10425899,2014-02-18,4006922,Shane,This Condo was great! It is in an ideal location with in walking distance to downtown and the lake. When we come back to Austin we'll try to stay here again. 
838496,10694669,2014-03-03,12209141,Keith,"Very clean place in a great location. We were able to walk to pretty much everything (South Congress, 2nd street district, 6th street, etc...). We definitely recommend it and will stay again when we are back in Austin."
838496,10786296,2014-03-07,11164502,Ravi,Dominique is on it!  Super organized and communicative.  Place is awesome and in a great location.  Def would stay there again.  
838496,11005068,2014-03-17,11529853,Adam,"The place is as advertised! Great condition, clean, and close proximity to everything we wanted to do and visit. I would definitely use Dominique again!"
838496,11748800,2014-04-14,3923338,Desiree,"We stayed in a two bedroom unit with a quiet patio out back. The queen bed bedroom has wonderful french doors with a balcony, and sun streamed into the bedroom, bliss. The apartment was clean and equipped with all the essentials. It is spacious and we were very happy with it. We coordinated with Dominique and she was very accommodating and it was easy to arrange the stay. 
The location is walkable to shops and restaurants on South Congress, and a short walk to the river and fairly long walk (short cab ride) to the warehouse district and 6th street.
I would recommend that the leaves on the patio and balcony be swept, and the chairs and table outside be cleared of leaves etc before guests arrive."
838496,11857280,2014-04-17,12089325,Hannah,"The apartment was spacious, comfortable and very clean. It was perfect as it offered a second bedroom with two single beds - so many two bed places seemed to offer two double bedrooms. 
Dominique was very accomodating and helpful, especially as I was experiencing computer trouble and she faciliated an earlier check in and all correspondance was prompt and efficient. 
The location was excellent; we walked everywhere from the condo. I would definitely look to stay here again."
838496,12129939,2014-04-23,294673,Justin,"Perfectly nice, clean, comfortable place. The Wi-Fi was flaky but Dominique was incredibly responsive to try to address the issue. Location was convenient to everything but not especially walkable. We had a great stay."
838496,12563250,2014-05-05,14131308,Rebecca,The condo was a great location to restaurants and downtown. and it was comfortable and well stocked with that 'home away from home' necessities.  Had a nice stay. Thank you
838496,17158875,2014-08-08,7643757,Veena,"We stayed for seven nights in unit 800A.  The location was perfect as it was just minutes by foot to downtown, the dog park and running trails along the lake and most importantly, walkable to the numerous food trucks along South 1st.  Our teenager was able to satisfy all his Torchy's Taco cravings on almost a daily basis.

By car, the UT campus was about ten minutes away even with some traffic.

This was a great deal for our family of three and one small dog.  We made one trip to Whole Foods and stocked up on breakfast and snack items.  Although we did not cook, it was nice to not have to eat out every night and just get takeout back in.

Wifi was fast!  

Dominique was very responsive to any questions and we will definitely stay here again when we visit our UT student."
838496,21940959,2014-10-27,18752966,Howard,"We stayed the weekend of 10/25/14. We were there for a wedding and to see the Austin sights. The condo is well situated close to the downtown and river activities. It is clean and well appointed. My wife felt the widow covering in the bedroom was not up to her standards for privacy. The ice-maker was not connected and there were no ice trays, but we were happy with the accommodations. Communication was prompt and the property seems well managed.

The one major difficulty we had was dealing with the drive up to the parking. The transition from the street to the drive is abrupt causing our car to drag the front. If you can go slow at an angle you can minimize the scraping. That is hard to do with such a busy street and limited visibility coming out the drive.

Overall the condo was accurately described, and you should enjoy your stay if you are driving something with high ground clearance."
838496,22642644,2014-11-11,12062625,Magdalena,"Great spot! Looked just like the pix. We came for FFF so this was a perfect location. We walked almost everywhere. 
Thanks!"
838496,23425565,2014-12-01,1665793,P J,"Excellent ongoing communication with Dominique. As promised, she sent door entry code via email one week prior to arrival. Property was as described and convenience and comfort exceeded my expectations."
838496,25517651,2015-01-18,22387756,Robert,"Great location, clean, very nice apartment.  Being able to bring our dog was a big plus.  Only complaint is that the queen bed is pretty uncomfortable.  Otherwise excellent place to stay.  We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see in Austin"
838496,25961637,2015-01-31,12626074,Itamar,"Beautiful apartment, very convenient and well equipped. There were hot water whenever I needed, fully equipped kitchen which I really liked because I like to have the option to make my own food. The balcony looks great but I didn't have a chance to enjoy it since the evenings were too cold to sit outside.
The area is quiet and within walking distance to Congress st., also A B-cycle station for city bike rentals is close, I used it almost every day.
I didn't need anything from Dominique during my stay, but she answered every question I had before my trip and was very helpful."
838496,26694154,2015-02-17,40282,Marc,"Dominique was fantastic. As we arrived, the door code was not working properly. No big deal. I called and she quickly fixed the situation. I never had to make another phone call. This was 100%  a hands off operation, which I think both parties enjoy. All photos in the ad were accurate. 
 
As for the location, for us, this couldn't be beat. We were a group of guys in for the Austin Half Marathon. Just south of the river, this house location is spot on. You can walk downtown in approx 10-15 mins. Or walk the other way about 7-10 mins for Torchys Taco parking lot, which is a must visit. We went twice. 

If you have business, concert, or theater plans, the convention center is between the house and downtown. It is literally on the first corner that you arrive to. This was important to us, as the race HQ were held here. 

As a side note, we used Uber the entire time. I believe it was $20 from the airport. We probably used it more than usual trips, because we were trying not to put in too many miles walking before the race. However, because everything is so close, we spent maybe $100 over 4 days. 

I will certainly be staying here next time back in Austin. "
838496,27085514,2015-02-25,777207,Jacqueline,"The condo was perfect for our recent work trip. Waking distance to the convention centre, but far enough away to escape the city core. Close to food trucks and gelato, and full of Austin sunshine. The condo was clean, tidy and well equipped. I will certainly stay here again and recommend you do as well. "
838496,27830309,2015-03-13,1495392,Lindsey,We had a great stay in this condo. It was comfortable and close enough to downtown to attend a conference easily. The washer/dryer came in very handy. We'd definitely stay here again.
838496,28795552,2015-03-30,1874413,Erin,"Great condo in a convenient location walkable to downtown Austin. Spacious with all the amenities you would expect, very clean, comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen."
838496,29305348,2015-04-06,29014076,Mark,The listing description was accurate. The apartment was clean and equipped with good equipment. The location of the apartment is as advertised. Great breakfast tacos down the road. 
838496,29841265,2015-04-13,4961054,Simonetta,The condo was everything the host said it would be & walking distance to downtown & the park. She was available to answer questions & very accommodating.  I would stay there again when visiting Austin. 
838496,29901871,2015-04-13,19644725,Roger,The reservation was canceled 39 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
838496,30028465,2015-04-16,9438778,Caroline,"The apartment is exactly as described. It was very clean and everything we used worked. The neighborh is great, very central and close to everything we needed and we could walk to all the places we needed to go. Dominique was very helpful since the first email we sent her and she was very flexible as well . She indeed respond in less than 24h. It was a great experience.  "
838496,30858575,2015-04-28,24777797,Corbin,Cute place.  Great location. Clean.
838496,31456706,2015-05-05,30556441,Daron,Dominique was very helpful in ensuring that we had everything we needed.  The condo was as described.  It was a perfect location.  The condo slept four comfortably.  I recommend it for future guests
838496,32126685,2015-05-14,31462765,Michael,"Location, location location. The condo was ideally located in the SoCo area and within walking distance of the strip on 6th street. Walked to both areas multiple times as well as Whole Foods and more. Condo complex was quiet. Need additional blind/shade on master bedroom window. Parking was readily available. "
838496,32786650,2015-05-21,7479063,Lauren,This place was in a great location. Walking distance to everything in soco and even downtown if you're a walker. Bring DVDs if you can! Very clean. Toledo's tacos is amazing. 
838496,34458660,2015-06-08,23179945,Stephanie,"The condo was very conveniently located on S 1st Avenue, less than a 30 min walk into Downtown, and a 5-10 min walk to Butler Park/Colorado river which is a lovely running spot. The location was quiet, peaceful and well-kept. The condo was easily accessed with a doorcode. It was clean, spacious, modern and well-furnished with all relevant appliances and amenities. It was the perfect option for my short business trip. "
838496,35041201,2015-06-14,5674814,Alexander,"Everything was perfect. The house is very clean and so lovely. You will find everything that you need. We needed to get a location relatively late in the evening, because our first one was awful. Within 30 minutes all things were done, thank you again for your quick response! We all were so happy that all things worked out so good!"
838496,35586308,2015-06-20,29648793,Oliver,"Dominique's apartment was perfect for us. It looks just like the photos; was clean, smart and comfortable. It's also in a fantastic location being just a short walk to some great places to eat, SoCo and downtown.  We also loved being close to the lady bird lake trail.

Dominique was incredibly helpful in providing great suggestions for places to eat and always responded very quickly when we had questions. We loved Austin and would definitely come and stay here again."
838496,45284242,2015-09-01,32941250,Josh,"Dominique has quite a great place just south of the lake. She is a fantastic, responsive host and her place has everything you'd need. It's within walking distance to downtown, zilker park and a torchy's taco truck. Highly recommend this space. Plus the beds are really comfy."
838496,47007076,2015-09-14,26164955,Oliver,Everything went very smooth. I will stay there again.
838496,47273630,2015-09-17,41307448,Amanda,"The home was exactly as described, nicely decorated and clean. Loved the private backyard area! It was the perfect location for what we needed."

I would definitely recommend these accommodations. 

Thank you "
838496,51433354,2015-10-20,39875057,Kari,"The condo was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Checking in was so easy! The location is great but we thought S. 1st Street isn't the best for walking (lots of traffic but that may not bother you). Dominique was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. We had a great stay!"
850518,3817781,2013-03-18,1409842,Mahtab,Lovely place and in a prime location in the city! The home is incredibly charming and Mollie was very accommodating to our needs. I'd definitely stay there again next time I'm in Austin! 
850518,10920842,2014-03-13,1098801,Daniel,Mollie's home was beautiful and spacious -- the back patio and backyard are real gems. The home was comfortable and Mollie was an excellent host. The location can't be beat.
850518,11007217,2014-03-17,8264194,Laura,"We loved this place.  Mollie was really helpful and friendly, she left lots of information for us and was great at communicating via email and phone.  The place was really handy for our trip - sxsw - only a 20 min walk into downtown and easy to navigate around.  The place has a lovely veranda with fairy lights if you want a quiet drink outside.  Very cosy and homely.  We had no problems. Would recommend.  Mollie's husband even gave us a lift to the airport - super kind. "
850518,20864306,2014-10-06,21689440,Kate,"Great location and perfect setting.  We were able to bike the entire city (using the bikes that came with the house) by day and walk to fun restaurants at night. The back porch was the perfect spot for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine.

Mollie was kind enough to pick us up from the ariport and took ample time to walk us through the house and get us settled.  She was also available for any questions and responded quickly via text or phone.

We will definitely be back! Thanks Mollie and family."
850518,22023001,2014-10-28,6169265,Vanda,"Mollie's place was exactly what we needed for our weekend gateway.  Mollie was very welcoming and accommodating, very responsive and was very easy to communicate with and she recommended some great places close by for lunch/dinner.  Great location too! "
850518,22629649,2014-11-10,23157303,Victoria,"Mollie and Brian were great hosts, truly going above and beyond.  The house is centrally located enough to be convenient to all of the great things happening in East Austin, as well as downtown and South Congress, but does not suffer from the traffic issues found in other parts of town.  "
850518,27102748,2015-02-25,2664901,Kathryn,Wonderful stay. Thank you guys so much for your hospitality. Great house and garden. Perfect location. We will be back. 
850518,28121564,2015-03-18,26166541,Rika,"Brian and Mollie were great hosts! Brian even picked us up from the airport when we arrived and both of them took some time to chat with us about the house, and the neighborhood (recommended coffee shops, restaurants etc.). The location was amazing! It was about a 20 minute walk to downtown, down 6th St.'s long stretch of bars and restaurants. "
850518,28851053,2015-03-30,1120117,Eugene,"We had a great time there. The house was very nice and in a convenient, quiet location. Mollie was very accommodating, and the house had everything we needed."

850518,30315261,2015-04-20,8054452,Carolyn,"Loved this space! Perfect for exploring the wonderful restaurants, bars and coffee shops on the East Side. Mollie was super friendly, responsive to all communication,  and gave great dining recommendations.

We loved in random order. Whisler a great cocktail bar up the street. Blue Dahlia for brunch, Barton Springs, South Congress, (grab happy hour at Perla when tired of shopping) Graffiti Park, Rainey Street, The Odd Duck ,Mt Bonnell, East Side King, Lake Austin Spa (is you are looking for pampering!)"
850518,30695855,2015-04-26,6316482,Lindsay,"Mollie was a great host - before the stay she answered our questions about the place and advised on location, she was even kind enough to offer us a lift from the airport. On arrival she greeted us at the house, gave us a quick run through the basics and left us to enjoy our time there, which was great as we were all catching up together on our three days in Austin. She even left some beer in the fridge (an unexpected treat!) tea, coffee etc, plus everything was on hand, extra towels, toiletries and cleaning items.  You really feel that the house has been renovated with lots of attention to detail, very unique touches and feels very homely. The house is clean and has charming porch to hang out on. The three of us ventured out on foot exploring the local East Austin bars and food options. The Yellow Jacket Social Club was fun for craft beers and the Counter Cafe did a great breakfast. The neighbuorhood is safe and has everything you need for a great stay. The walk to downtown takes only 20 mins. The only downside was that we should have stayed longer to explore more of the city! Thanks Mollie for the hospitality and Brian for dropping us off at the airport!"

850518,33104116,2015-05-25,29413733,James,"Mollie and Brian were phenomenal hosts. The house was very clean and organized.  It was better than the pictures.  They were both extremely helpful and flexible.  They even drove me into the city on my last day! I highly recommend staying here!!!  Not to mention, it's very convenient to the center.  "
850518,40146043,2015-07-28,22676915,Gabe,"My wife, two children, and I really enjoyed staying here. It was the perfect location for our small family. The house is located in a really fun part of Austin. It is a short walk or drive to tons of great restaurants, and pretty much anything else you'd want to do in Austin.

Mollie was quick to respond to any questions, and even checked in after our arrival to make sure everything was going okay."
850518,40951804,2015-08-03,17311554,Signe,"Prime East Austin is the  best place to stay! We are locals and wanted a comfortable centrally located home in an area that gave us easy access to the best eateries, night life, shopping and just running errands. This home had everything we needed to cook a meal, put our feet up to relax or just get a good nights sleep. The screened in back porch was great for am coffee and morning stretches. The driveway was open for off street parking and the neighborhood was quiet. We will return! Thanks Mollie and Brian"
850518,41987604,2015-08-10,10007611,Angela,Great little bungalow in East Austin. Met host Brian when getting settled and he was very friendly and helpful. Pictures and descriptions are accurate and we were very happy with the accommodations. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
850518,44152438,2015-08-24,17974532,Linda,"We loved everything about Mollie and Brian's place. They communicated well, the house was very warm and comfortable. We really felt like we had a feel
For Austin while staying there. We will definitely want
To stay there again!"
850518,45153758,2015-08-31,20784531,Samuel,"Esa casa era hecha para nosotros.
Todo es muy pratica nuestras niñas no se querían ir .

2 buenas sorpresas , la ubicación (excelente) y el clima (siempre  la casa tenia una temperatura ideal .

En resumen podríamos vivir en esa casa (fue difícil irnos).



"
850518,45714753,2015-09-05,19582065,Alex,"Brian and Mollie's place was warm, welcoming and comfortable. The neighborhood was super convenient - right around the corner from 6th street with some great bars (Whisler's is an awesome place to start!). The house was clean and the fridge stocked up with some complimentary local beers - a nice touch. Would definitely come back to stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. "
850518,47657874,2015-09-21,37604538,Lauren,"Super sweet home, very clean, amazing location. Hosts were accommodating and very thoughtful, -even left a 'travel guide' to their favorite places to eat, etc. Perfect place to stay in Austin!"
850518,48715171,2015-09-28,4577378,Tracy,"I felt that Mollie opened her house to us the minute we got there.  The home was as pictured and perfect for myself and my three young adult children.  We hosted a dinner party for 7 the first night and everyone was comfortable and quite impressed with the place.  We had everything we needed.  The kitchen is well equiped!  Our favorite spot was the screened in back porch, which is an ideal place for both chatting and quiet time.  My children who live in Austin were familiar with the neighborhood since some of their favorite spots are there.  I wish we could have stayed several more days!  "
7583880,48842402,2015-09-28,15104815,Katherine,"Oh my gosh! I have never had a better experience via Airbnb then with Brennan. She was hospitable to the T. She put Chobani in the frig and set up the Keurig for my arrival. Her place is immaculate and exactly as pictured. I loved the feeling of being in a modern hotel, but with a full kitchen, so I could have a quick breakfast and jet in the AM. She has wonderful taste for decor and the bed was amazing! I got the perfect rest each night. I also hit a big snafu during my visit, and she was so gracious in helping me troubleshoot. A beautiful visit to a new city. I cannot wait to return!"
7583880,49408518,2015-10-03,5056514,Kelli,"Brennan was so friendly and easy to deal with regarding the booking. All her instructions on entry and local bars as well as leaving us snacks and coffee, were very helpful and appreciated. The place was cozy (big comfy bed!) and had all we need for a night in Austin. Thank you!"
7583880,49580999,2015-10-04,44873830,Amanda,My stay at Brennan's apartment was absolutely delightful...She is incredibly considerate and accommodating and the place is super cute. Great location too!
7583880,51204353,2015-10-18,38149470,Ryan,"Brennan was absolutely fantastic! The next time I am in Austin, I will be looking to see if Brennan's apartment is available.  She made everything extremely easily, was always accessible if I had any questions about Austin, and her apartment was flawless.  She had soft drinks and adult drinks made available, left snacks for us, and her apartment was immaculately clean and nice.  The apartment was a quick uber ride downtown or to UT, and her apartment is very close to the running trails along the Colorado River.  The pool and facilities were also spectacular.  This was my first Airbnb experience, and because of the experience with Brennan, I will always continue to use this spectacular service.  "
7583880,51945463,2015-10-25,16090484,Virginia,"We had a great time. Everything was as described. Clean and cute apartment and Brennan is a great!
There's a great little coffee shop up the street, too :-)"
7895103,44058755,2015-08-23,38015045,Lori,"This place was perfect for a one night get away! I absolutely loved everything about it! The staff at Stony Creek Apartments provided us with everything we needed for our stay from toiletries, dishes, and nice cold water waiting in the fridge which is exactly what we needed for the hot summer day! I would definitely love to stay here again for a whole weekend! The staff was super friendly and easy to get a hold of! I have nothing but great things to say about the stay!"
7895103,45602412,2015-09-04,9317941,Colleen,"I stayed at this Airbnb for 8 nights when I was relocating to Austin and looking for an apartment of my own. I was one of the first to stay an extended period so I had some problems come up (no linens for sofa bed, wifi and cable issues, dirty towels left in bathroom from previous guest), but the staff was attentive in fixing the problems and I am sure no one else will run into these issues. The location was wonderful, close to SoLa and SoCo so restaurants were really easy to get to. The couch, bed, and sofa bed were all really comfortable. Some things I think they can improve on: Get running cable (we had to sign into our netflix account to watch tv), some more cookware to heat up items (I could only heat up food on the stove) - no cookware to use in the oven and no microwave. The whole experience was great and I enjoyed my stay - very comfortable for me just moving to Austin!"
7895103,46022358,2015-09-07,41617785,Leslie,"This place was amazing. My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights and would definitely come back! The location makes everything easy to get to. The apartment was clean and filled with great amenities i.e. Brita pitcher, coffee maker, dishes, utensils, pots/pans, cups, toothpaste, shampoo/conditioner, razors, toiletries, towels etc. The bed was super comfortable to sleep in and the pillows are to die for! The sofa pull-out bed wasn't that comfortable, but it was decent enough to fall asleep. The hosts were easy and wonderful to work with. We had to check-in by 5pm, however we were not able to arrive there until 6pm. They accommodated us by staying late and warmly welcomed us when we finally arrived. The place is pet friendly and we wish we had known or else we would've brought our own furry friends! This place is great! Would highly recommend! "
7895103,46968412,2015-09-14,42732059,Jeremy,"Checking in with Stony Creek was as the easiest 'check in' experience I've EVER had with AirBnB!  

They were ready with all the paper work and it took hardly anytime to get things signed and me to the door ready to RELAX.  

The apartment was more than what I had expected, and the area was only MINUTES from where we needed to be (near downtown.) 

I only need to call the front desk twice for items and when I did, they answered immediately and were there in a jiffy. 

This is the perfect spot if you're looking for a place to stay that is basically a hotel without the room service or noisy neighbors.  I loved it!"
7895103,47996305,2015-09-22,27033467,Jessica,"This was a great first experience with AirBnB as well as Texas. Our flight didn't get in until after office hours, and Stony Creek management was accommodating, greeting us and facilitating a quick and easy check-in. The place was clean, very well equipped, and comfortable. It was a short drive to pretty much everything we wanted to see and that was suggested for us to see as well. 

My husband and I typically have a difficult time being able to sleep in anywhere that isn't our own bed, but the bed and pillows here made it super easy and quite difficult for us to drag ourselves out of bed to go explore. Even though the unit is close to the road, for us, it was still easy to fall asleep and stay asleep. 

Parking was easy and finding the complex was easy. Although I didn't have an opportunity to enjoy the pool, my husband did, and he said it was refreshing. The water filtration pitcher in the fridge was also nice, kept a cold, available supply of drinking water, readily available. The smart TV, well maybe it is smarter than us, didn't really function as fast as expected, but why waste time watching TV when there are so many things to see and do in Austin and surrounding areas. I know that they said they are getting Google fiber, so this will hopefully improve the functionality of the TV.

We look forward to our return to Texas and would easily stay at Stony Creek again, if it was available.  "
7895103,49625962,2015-10-05,5097396,Raquel,"Our time at Stony Creek was great! The apartment is small but perfect for a couple or 3 people. It was clean, modern and has a nice little deck out front. We did struggle to get the internet to work but the owner mentioned they were in between services. Would love to come back!"
7895103,50458906,2015-10-12,40284180,Daniel,Great experience! Our flight got in late and they were very accommodating! The apartment was clean and very comfortable! Would defiantly stay again!
7895103,51050473,2015-10-17,20325522,Kimberly,We loved it here. We came in for a wedding and it was convenient to the venue and all of Austin. Easy on and off the roadways and quiet. They were great! 
5340109,28090570,2015-03-17,28062669,Geoffrey,"Lisa made me feel incredibly welcome and checked in with me  regularly during my stay, always making sure that I had everything I needed.  The house and neighborhood aren't glamorous but worked perfectly for me during SXSW"
5340109,49730315,2015-10-05,1808178,Mark,"Lisa made us feel very welcome the second we arrived. She gave us a tour of the house and of the private room and bathroom which were both very clean and cozy. She went over the top by providing us a list of the buses, train schedules, and restaurants to go to. This was a very great experience only a 10 minute uber ride to downtown Austin! Quiet neighborhood and friendly people. Highly recommend staying here and would again! "
6005469,32642969,2015-05-19,16070023,Jeffrey,"Theresa was a wonderful host; her home was warm and inviting.  The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was nice, street parking was convenient and she had beautiful artwork in her home.  She lives in a nice neighborhood in a great location and her puppies were very sweet.  Theresa was helpful in suggesting things to do and provided us with beach towels and a blanket when we wanted to go swimming."
6005469,33167171,2015-05-25,33079333,Amber,Had a wonderful time staying with Theresa and her 3 wonderful well behaved dogs. She gave me some great recommendations of things todo in austin  & they were all amazing places! She was very easy going with the rules and was a great host took great care of me. Her place is 10 mins away from downtown so it was very convenient to get around. I plan to stay with her and her lovely dogs again one day :) 
6005469,33594286,2015-05-30,31181837,Ashwin,"Home away from home is the best way to describe it. Theresa made me feel right at home starting with a home cooked meal the day I got in because there was a storm and I couldn't go out to get anything. She was also very helpful in guiding me with what to do in Austin and where to get anything I need and offered to drive me around to pick up groceries or things I need for my stay there. The dogs are an absolute delight, well mannered and very playful if you're up to it. If you want to cook while you're there, she has a well equipped kitchen which I used quite a bit. She shared her home and her life and we became friends really quickly, I would recommend anyone visiting Austin to stay with her!

Also while the review below says the host cancelled, that was only because we were trying to reschedule it because I had to change my travel schedule and not any fault on her part."
6005469,33709963,2015-05-31,31181837,Ashwin,The host canceled this reservation 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6005469,36694999,2015-06-30,16211020,Renee,"Theresa made me feel very welcome.  Her home is a nice modern condo, pleasantly decorated and is conveniently located.  

I enjoyed Theresa's company along with that of her 3 cute dogs.  I would gladly go back."
6005469,40461069,2015-07-31,31181837,Ashwin,"I had a very good experience, everything is just as described. Theresa is a lovely person and will make sure you have everything you need for your stay. The dogs are very sweet and great company!"
6005469,45083509,2015-08-31,36218433,Jami,"My stay with Theresa was amazing! From the first day I felt incredible welcomed by her and at home in the Mueller area. Not only did I love staying in her terrific home, I loved the area. So many things were within walking distance--including the park, music, food trucks, and running trails--and downtown was a short 10 minute drive away.
Theresa is a wonderful host, a blast to talk with about any topic, and her dogs are the sweetest. Hopefully, in the future I have a chance to stay with her again. "
6005469,45909347,2015-09-06,23377940,Chris,"Theresa was my first Airbnb experience, and she made it a great one. What really stuck out to me was how sensitive she was to our needs and how she went out of her way to make sure that we had to do as little as possible to be comfortable. As she said, ""You're on vacation!"" The dogs are also really sweet and were never obnoxious. We were coming off an exhausting road trip and my girlfriend was car sick. Theresa immediately understood the situation and made sure that we had the space, time and comfort to recover and enjoy our trip. Great host. "
6005469,47302425,2015-09-17,43383052,Russell,"Theresa was an absolutely wonderful host, I missed my plane so was half a day late and she had coffee and a fruit bowl ready for when I arrived. The condo is really nice in a great new neighbourhood in Mueller, Austin... that is close to a number of amenities and a $8-10 uber ride into downtown. She's got some really cool dogs, I took them for a walk around the local park and they were super fun characters :) All in all Theresa made me feel welcome at her house and she is a super nice lady. Very much appreciated, a great first AirBNB experience!"
6005469,47843676,2015-09-21,43817250,Marcus,"This is a great location in a very nice neighborhood with easy access to much of Austin.  Theresa is a great host and definitely makes you feel welcome and comfortable.  Also, the dogs LOVE visitors!  They're very friendly and will be your best friends by the time you leave."
6005469,48825038,2015-09-28,29185421,Jason,"My experience at Mueller was fantastic. A quick ride on a bicycle to downtown was perfect. Coming back was a bit challenging considering the hills. Metro ran right to the property, so catching a ride was delightful. Lush parks and greenery, friendly people out and about .
Welcomed by two doggies was cute. Pals!
Theresa welcomed me to her house, Delightful rest and companionship was great. She was kind and helpful and full of suggestions."
6005469,50777271,2015-10-14,44464173,Madeline,"Theresa was extremely welcoming and friendly and made us feel right at home! Her apartment was clean and well cared for. Additionally, her apartment was in a great location, just outside of downtown Austin and centrally located to many attractions. She has three dogs so you must be a dog lover but they were each very friendly!"
6005469,51182955,2015-10-18,45278634,Susan,This was our first experience with Airbnb and we feel as if we made a new friend. Theresa welcomed us into her lovely home and made us feel welcome. Loved the beautiful neighborhood and walking distance of a lovely park. We loved her sweet fur babies too. They made us feel right at home .
6005469,51926883,2015-10-25,39338096,Jeremy,This was our first Airbnb experience and Theresa made it great.  The house and room was exactly as described in the listing.  Great neighborhood and in a great location.  Easy and cheap uber ride to downtown Austin.  I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Austin.  Theresa was very helpful and overall a great host.  I would stay again.
1699415,18702094,2014-08-31,10950134,Kathleen,"I spent close to 4 months in this apartment and it was perfect for my stay. Inger had everything I could need including all cookware, linens, and cleaning supplies. The apartment is as pictured and Inger was available if any issues came up. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. The location is incomparable, I walked to Barton springs every week. There's also a trail close by that takes you right onto the town lake running trail. 
I would definitely stay here again if I'm back in town."
1699415,20993321,2014-10-09,1436267,Linda,"Very much enjoyed staying in Inger's apt! Inger was an excellent host, very welcoming, available and her little touches here and there made the stay an awesome experience! Apt was very clean, modern and comfortable. Amazing location! For sure will come back! :-)"
1699415,21200403,2014-10-13,2669826,Natalia,"Inger was an excellent host. The space was as advertised, clean and within walking distance to zilker park which is exactly what we wanted as we were there to enjoy the ACL music fest. Inger was very accommodating with our group as our friends arrived earlier than us and left later than us. She was also very excellent with communicating with us to check in prior to us arriving as well as during our stay to make sure we were all set. We felt welcomed and we had ultimate freedom to come and go as we pleased. It was awesome! Thank you Inger!"
1699415,21401516,2014-10-16,5724775,Andrew,"Great apartment! We stayed for a couple of nights on a quick trip to Austin. Inger's apartment had everything that we needed. The space is quite big for a one-bedroom apartment. It is clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. Inger was an excellent host -- she communicated well and met us when we arrived to let us in. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Barton Hills / Zilker area!"
1699415,21660462,2014-10-21,20538771,Sally,"This place is great! Exactly as described: clean, comfortable, well appointed-and welcome snacks and cold soft drinks! Inger met me with the key and made us feel welcome. The apt is in a great location to explore Austin and the surrounding area!"
1699415,23032285,2014-11-21,19977084,Fernando,"Nuestra estancia en el apartamento de Inger ha sido muy agradable. Todo estaba de acuerdo a la descripción, cervecitas y snacks de bienvenida incluidos. El apartamento estaba muy limpio y bien equipado. El barrio es muy tranquilo, cercano a zonas verdes y parques para salir a correr. A 5 minutos se pueden alquilar kayaks para explorar el río. El trato con Inger también ha sido sencillo y agradable. Como vive al lado, cuando hemos necesitado cualquier cosa, la comunicación ha sido rápida y eficiente. Por nuestra parte, la estancia en este apartamento está totalmente recomendada."
1699415,27682508,2015-03-09,10768411,Julie,"Great host! Flexible with our check in time. The place was very clean and they even left coffee, beer, water and soda for us! Extremely close to downtown or SOCO. We took and uber everywhere for under $8. We would definitely stay here again. "
1699415,28003541,2015-03-16,1222361,Gus,"Inger was really welcoming, as was her partner Jerry. They, along with their 3 dogs, were there to greet me when I arrived, give me a quick tour and point out the snacks, drinks, and beer (from Jerry's brewery) that they had left for me.

The apartment was comfortable, spacious and perfect for what I needed. It was a little further away from downtown than I originally expected, but it was very easy to call a Lyft or Uber to pick me up. The distance from town was more than made up for by the proximity to Zilker Park, where I went running every morning. 

Overall, an awesome experience. I love Austin & I'd happily stay with Inger again."
1699415,31614233,2015-05-07,18747181,Mandeep,"Inger was a great host and was easy to communicate and quick to response. I stayed with my 21 Month old son for the week and the cottage had all the amenities and comfort. The bedding & mattress was amazing. Didn't get enough time to spend with Inger and Jerry, but they both are an awesome host. Will highly recommend. "
1699415,31994353,2015-05-12,8196607,Colleen,"Christopher and I had a wonderful time in Austin. We loved the apartment and it was super conveniently located. Very spacious, HUGE bed, and treats/beer for our stay! The highlight was getting to go to the greenbelt (Christopher's favorite pastime when he lived in Austin) much thanks to Inger's boyfriend who took us to a certain area to hang out. Both of them were super welcoming, friendly, and helpful with our needs. Inger even shipped us some clothes we accidentally left behind, which we were very grateful for! We would definitely return! "
1699415,35194187,2015-06-16,6135793,Jojo,"My husband and I stayed at Inger's place for five weeks and we had a wonderful time. We were in town for a mixture of work and fun and Inger was able to give us some great tips about where to kayak, swim and eat. The apartment is well appointed. My husband and I both like to cook and we found the kitchen to be well stocked with all of the equipment we needed. The apartment was clean and both the bed and sofa were super comfortable. Having Inger next door was helpful & never intrusive and we would happily go back and stay there again - it helps that her dogs are adorable too! Thanks Inger!"
1699415,45096236,2015-08-31,365100,Laurie,"Inger and Jerry are fantastic hosts! They went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay and were super helpful and accommodating when I was coordinating a move. Their pups are equally friendly and welcoming. Wonderful hosts within walking distance of barton springs pool, zilker park, the greenbelt, awesome cafes, bars, food trucks...what more could you ask for?!"

1699415,49587719,2015-10-05,32915598,H.B.,"From the moment I pulled up to the host waiting in the driveway, till I had to pull myself away, this listing did not disappoint. Thoroughly greeted and welcomed, Inger and Jerry generously opened their apartment to myself and two friends. The location is impeccable. A short walk to Barton Springs pool and Zilker Park, which by the way, Barton Springs pool is one of the coolest things I've seen. Inger and Jerry left a slew of snacks and drinks, including some local beers from Real Ale Brewing Co. Light sleepers will be able to sleep away in the peaceful environment the apartment offered. Everything was clean and organized. I mean what else does this review need? Nothing but praise from this camp and more than worth the stay. Thank you Inger and Jerry!

Also, we were in Austin for the first weekend of ACL and this apartment was the perfect supplement to an awesome festival. ACL 2016 goers, this is your spot. Book it. :)"
1699415,50428190,2015-10-12,617127,Amy,"Inger was so easy to book through and work with.  They made us feel very welcome and were flexible on our arrival time, which was quite late.  The apartment is about as close to Zilker park as you can get.  10 minute walk to Barton springs pool and to the sculpture garden.  They were kind enough to leave us some snacks for our late arrival which was very helpful since we have a young child.  However, there is a mini-mart 5 mins away that has almost everything you need.  We also ordered food from Instacart and cooked breakfast and dinners.  The apartment was spotless, had plenty of towels, sheets, dishes, etc.  "
1699415,51884873,2015-10-25,25498817,Devin,The apartment was very clean and comfortable! lots of amenities including snacks which was lovely. Only a 5-10 minute drive to downtown Austin and a short walk to the nearby parks. Absolutely recommend staying!

It was a perfect choice for me as I needed a place to stay until my own lease began.  It also has pool and fitness center but I did not get a chance to use.  Host, Offer, is very nice and friendly.  It was a good airbnb experience."
5879880,37605309,2015-07-08,35221000,Randy,I extended my stay for a day. Condo is very clean and in a good neighborhood. It was a good airbnb experience.

Offer went above and beyond to help us, I checked in really late because my bus was delayed, but Offer waited. He was super responsive and helpful. It was great value for money :)"
5879880,40807640,2015-08-02,38213942,Aurora,"We stayed with Offer for a week, while we were looking for a place in Austin. He made us feel really comfortable and his place is really nice and clean. We would definately stay there again if we need it! Thanks, Offer!"
5879880,42326750,2015-08-12,31084687,Terry,"Coming to stay with Offer was like coming home to family you have not seen in a while.  His apartment is on the 3rd floor of an amazing gated complex with mature trees and work-out facility.  The room is extra large with a walk-in closet and a private bath.  If you want silence this is the place to come.  Offer gives you all of the privacy you want, but when needed is there to give you a wealth of information about the area. If you are lucky to engage him in conversation, you will walk away with wanting more time and a longer dinner to hear and share stories and insights coming from humor, truth and deep human experience."
5879880,47765489,2015-09-21,37004943,Tanner,Good place for the short term. Offer is very nice and easy to chat with. Good kitchen access. Good location near freeways. Would recommend. Thanks Offer!
5879880,50513336,2015-10-12,32599053,Nicole,"Offer was really helpful and kind, and his apartment and patio were beautiful! He made our stay perfect."
5879880,52198493,2015-10-26,47188789,Katy,"We had a very pleasant experience with Offer and his Ranch Apartment. The room and bathroom are simple and clean. The sheets are super soft! Offer is really nice and was generously able to accommodate our late night arrival. Quick and clear replies for all communication. The area is also very convenient for travel in Northwest Austin. All in all, a nice place to stay at a decent price. Thank you, Offer!"
4645474,24953550,2015-01-04,20672633,Leticia,"Our family loved Brooke's cozy space!  Everything was neat, organized and easy to find.  Very comfortable bed.  We felt very comfortable.  Brooke was very helpful and replied to us in a prompt manner.   I definitely would recommend this space to friends its a nice place to unwind at the end of the day.  Thank you for hosting us Brooke!!!♡"
4645474,25903609,2015-01-29,25296727,Erel,"The apartment had even more than I expected - it contained everything I needed, from wifi connection to always-hot water to clean towels to electronic kettle to tea bags to alarm clock.

Although Brooke was not present in the location, she was always available by email and gave quick answers to all my questions and requests.

The neighbourhood itself was quiet and friendly. In 5 minutes walking due west I arrived at the entrance of the Jewish community center, and in 10 minutes walking due south I arrived at the H-E-B kosher store.

It is not easy to be alone so far away from home, but this convenient apartment made my stay much easier."
4645474,27625823,2015-03-08,7828666,Jason,"This was a great place to stay for the weekend. It is decorated well with a good use of space. There were plenty of towels and nice linens made available. She let me use her french press and I had a great cup of coffee every morning.

The area feels safe and very quiet. I never heard noise until later in the morning when people were walking their dogs. But by then I needed to be up.

I wasn't able to arrive until midnight, and for this reason I seriously considered a hotel. However, she accommodated me, which was a great help.

I'll definitely consider staying again next time. Thanks!"
4645474,27949116,2015-03-15,28171629,David,"Brooke's space was great for my girlfriend and I over SXSW.  She provided all the info we needed in one document and it was effortless from there.  Very clean, quiet, and felt just like home. It was very easy to communicate with Brooke as well. A great experience!"
4645474,28140426,2015-03-18,28689077,Bethany,"I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment is so clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and nice, and we were able to get anywhere pretty fast. I definitely recommend staying here, and the price is great too. Thanks so much!"
4645474,28265531,2015-03-21,12454817,Natalie,"The place was great and exactly as described. The location is perfect and getting downtown was a breeze, which is usually a big issue during Sxsw. "
4645474,30734389,2015-04-26,31551442,Jenny,This was my first time using Airbnb and it was a huge success! Brooke was very easy to communicate with and accommodating. The location was wonderful. The studio was super clean and cozy. It had everything there I needed. I would definitely stay there again or recommend it to friends.
4645474,36998555,2015-07-03,3756122,Abigail,"Brooke was a wonderful host! The home was great, clean, and had everything I needed for a great stay in Austin. She was always there ready to help with any information I may need . I would definitely stay here again if I came back to town! "
4645474,37800571,2015-07-10,37265797,Liz,The apt was exactly what it said it would be. We enjoyed the stay and will probably try to stay there again in future visits.
4645474,37938176,2015-07-11,27739562,John,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4645474,38207370,2015-07-13,10624929,Steve,"House was great cozy , clean , and very cool , my stay was so relaxed did not 
Want to leave  , hopefully I have to go back to my wife oh I miss her so much"
4645474,48244647,2015-09-24,7698055,Patricia,"Brooke sent me a detailed description of her place, how to get to it, the neighborhood, and many useful details. Her place was clean, attractive, and comfortable. 

The apartment is in a great location in Austin's Far West area, a minute from Far West and MoPac.

She provided a stack of towels just like a hotel and an empty closet with hangers, which is always appreciated.

At the modest price she asked, it is well worth it. I have stayed in places for twice the amount that weren't as nice."
4645474,49009168,2015-09-30,38610581,Cindy,"Brooke was awesome !! We had an amazing time in Austin! I actually considered her place bigger than advertise on Air Bnb, it's actually a small one bedroom. It's super clean with lots of clean towels! I'm going to stay here again when I come to Austin next year!! "
4645474,49449947,2015-10-04,3964811,Timur,Great place and convenient. Very easy going host!
4645474,50563723,2015-10-12,7749182,Victor,"The place was a perfect size. It was small one bedroom, clean, plenty of towels and all the utilities you would need for a couple days spent in the city. The Location was a little farther from downtown than we would have liked, but it's right off the MoPac and very easy to get around town. Easy parking and nice little area with a pool. Brooke got back to us pretty quickly anytime we had questions. Great Place to stay. We recommend it if you plan on staying in Austin!"
83322,249101,2011-05-02,541897,Lynne,The Hornungs were perfect hosts and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this spot and will be returning! 
83322,325659,2011-06-20,705656,Adrianne,"We had a wonderful stay at Bill & Melissa's place!  It was a beautiful location that was close enough to everything to be handy, but also just far enough to give a sense of escape ... which we all need sometimes.  The property is fun to explore, and the loft is super-comfy to come back to.  We enjoyed being able to fix our breakfasts there and just take the mornings slowly.  Highly recommend."
83322,397022,2011-07-25,84998,Elisa,"We had an absolutely wonderful time staying at the Loft on Cupid's Bluff.  Bill and Melissa were more than hospitable, and the charm of the loft was beautiful.  They were wonderful at communicating with us before and during our stay, and made us so comfortable while staying there.  Plus there is nothing like having a large balcony to dance under the stars at night.  I definitely recommend them and their lovely home to any interested, and I certainly plan on staying with them again.  "
83322,498514,2011-09-03,1010135,Stephanie,"We had an awesome vacation at Bill & Melissa's perfect loft. They were very kind & helpful if we had any questions. The space is great for a relaxing getaway from everything and we loved watching birds, squirrels and even saw a baby bunny from the deck while enjoying our morning coffee. The tub is HEAVENLY, the kitchen is sufficient to cook full meals, the views are beautiful and the Hornungs are wonderful hosts. We will (and have already) recommended the loft to friends and hope to make it a part of our vacations in the years to come. 
Thanks again Bill & Melissa!"
83322,549647,2011-09-20,733224,Allen,"My fiance and I were in town for ACL and while we considered staying downtown, chose to stay with Bill and Melissa south of downtown.

It turned out to be a great choice.  The loft is secluded and surrounded by trees.  Access to the rest of Austin is also easy since it is close to the freeways.  

The bed was plenty large and we cooked for a couple of nights.  Also the pictures are reflective of the place, lots of sunlight and well decorated.  It was probably the best place I've stayed in the US so far.

Bill and Melissa were also very helpful - we locked ourselves out twice and it was no trouble at all."
83322,620521,2011-10-11,191466,Ken,"My daughter and I had a very relaxing time there.When we did have time to hang out on Sunday afternoon my daughter was able to roam around and explore their beautiful grounds. 

Bill and Melissa were very friendly and helpful but made sure to give us space to rest and relax. 

We will definitely be back. "
83322,634958,2011-10-16,1262002,Alana,I don't want to say much because I want everyone to experience time with bill and Melissa in their own way.
83322,644453,2011-10-19,455565,Sharon,"We had a wonderful stay!  The loft was so clean and open and bright.....we enjoyed visiting with the chickens, geese, and of course, Bentley, the dog.  We were brought muffins, cheese, snack bars, fruit and artisan bread....who could as for more.  We sat out at night on the deck and it was like being in a tree house.  The property is just lovely and our hosts were the best......would definitely stay here again."
83322,698439,2011-11-07,1243846,Kaci,"What a great apartment! Bill and Melissa work hard to keep that place clean, and make sure their customers are happy. When I forgot my shampoo and conditioner I was able to find some under the sink. Love the extra effort!"
83322,814610,2011-12-30,1094301,Kristiarne,"Our time with Melissa and Bill was perfect. They are such generous, warm and genuine people. We arrived there on Christmas Eve and were there through out the x - mas season, in which they provided for us the sense of family that we  were missing back at home! Greeted with hugs and even food and wine we were stoked!...and then the space in cupids bluff is just beautiful, situated up high against a well maintained garded and terrain the bluff has everything you need. Bill and Melissa take great care if this space and it truly becomes a place to just chill out....to take in the clean air and the natural surroundings. We were truly sad to say goodbye to these guys, the company and generosity off Bill and Melissa was like that of a good friend! This trip wont be forgotten! Thanks guys! xo"
83322,860017,2012-01-13,1530363,Eli,"Bill and Melissa gave us more than we could have expected out of our first airbnb stay.  The place was beautiful inside and out, and was suited perfectly for a couple looking to get away from the busyness of a downtown stay.  Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Melissa on this trip, but Bill was very helpful, knowing, and downright friendly! We would both highly recommend staying here to anybody looking for a relaxed atmosphere and a romantic setting."
83322,868044,2012-01-17,154442,Jed,"Melissa and Bill's loft was great! Such a peaceful and beautiful location. Makes you feel like you're staying out in the country, but just a short drive to everything in Austin. Melissa and Bill were great hosts right down to the little details--wifi information, bottles of water in the fridge, etc.

I would highly recommend anyone to stay here when visiting Austin!"
83322,883172,2012-01-25,1455236,Susan,These are the most amazing people you could hope to meet.  Melissa and Bill were wonderful hosts and their loft was romantic and quiet which is just what we needed for the week of our wedding.  We have every intention of returning to stay with them whenever we are in Austin which will be a lot!  I highly recommend this place for vacation of for work.  You will love it.  The only slight drawback was the double bed and no TV.  We didn't have time to watch TV anyway but it would be nice.
83322,943941,2012-02-23,1442896,Stephane,Melissa and Bill's place is fabulous!  It really made our trip to Austin special.  It's peaceful and private.  We loved relaxing out on the deck.  The location is great for gaining access to anywhere in the city.  It's a short walk over to incredible hiking trails. Their place is immaculate and very well stocked with extras you would never see in a hotel.  We will be back again.  Thanks Melissa and Bill!
83322,962429,2012-03-01,956582,Melissa,"Our stay at this loft was perfect! Bill & Melissa are so, so, so ,so nice! The loft is perfect place. It is situated among an immense amount of new shop and restaurants, but with all of the new buildings and cool shops, the Loft is nestled in a hidden forested area that is so lush. Bill and Melissa even have bamboo (lots of it) growing right behind the loft. So even though you can go shopping and eat at several great places, you feel like you are in a remote forest when you go back to the Loft! 

The Loft is bright and lovely. The decor is minimalist, clean and fresh. Windows surround the Loft from all sides, bringing in great light throughout the day!

If you are a nature lover, you will love all of the close trails around the Loft. There are trails that you can walk to through from the Loft, or take a short drive (5 min) to city-provided trails. 

If you love history, be sure to ask Bill about the history of Austin and the trails and all sorts of other things. He is SO knowledgeable about everything!

If you respect and look for places that use organic and natural household items, the Loft is the place for you in Austin. From food to soap to sheets on the bed, Bill & Melissa provide organic, natural items. 

Thanks so much for the great stay!!!! We will be back when we come to Austin!"
83322,1043455,2012-03-26,485053,Rose,"We stayed with Bill and Melissa while we were in town for our wedding, and they'll be our top choice for return trips to Austin!

Bill and Melissa were absolutely fantastic hosts.  They had muffins and snacks in the fridge for us, as well as delicious coffee, that we really enjoyed.  They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.  They brought a bench and cushion up to the balcony just so that we could sit outside when the bridal party came over for pictures (yes, in their beautiful greenery!), and when a bridesmaid's dress strap broke, they brought us navy thread and a needle for a last minute fix!  They're very lovely people, and my family enjoyed talking with them as well.

The loft and surrounding property are just beautiful.  The loft is really as pretty, comfortable, and clean as in the pictures, with lots of natural light.  We didn't end up cooking in the kitchen, but everything we would have needed was there too (plates, utensils, etc.).  As I mentioned, we took pre-wedding photos with their lovely foliage in the background (our photographer was thrilled with the site), and we woke up peacefully every morning and enjoyed our coffee and muffins while looking out their large windows.  

Bill and Melissa, we hope to stay with you again the next time we're in town!"
83322,1066060,2012-03-31,1819896,Michael And Colleen,"This hidden away loft is a gem.  We fell in love with it immediately.  It was so clean and personable.  The kitchen was perfect - we had to bake a birthday cake - and it turned out perfect.  The treats in the refrigerator were a surprise, but much enjoyed, and we would stay there again in a heart beat.  Thanks!"
83322,1103656,2012-04-09,1869768,Zaira,"My husband and I had a wonderful experience at the Loft. The place was very cozy and immaculate and the natural garden in the property is beautiful. It's 10 minutes from downtown Austin, but feels very quiet. The best part of the deal is getting to meet Melissa and Bill, the kind of special people you don't get to meet very often. They were extra friendly, very helpful and made us feel at home.  "
83322,1169640,2012-04-23,2030568,Rebekkah,"A little hard to find in the dark by yourself, but a lovely place to stay, very quiet, conviently located, and a nice patio to sit out on."
83322,1308325,2012-05-20,1945877,Kelli,This was the perfect place for us.  The accommodations were nice and neat.  When we arrived Bill was there to greet us altho we were early and Melissa had stocked the frig with breakfast items for our stay.  We will stay there again on trips to Austin and have already recommended it to others.  Such a beautiful place with wonderful people.  Slice of Austin paradise! Made our trip over the top.  
83322,1437514,2012-06-08,2242889,Yu-Pei,"My wife and me came from Taiwan and stayed at Melissa and Bill's loft for two nights. Melissa and Bill are very very nice, warm and made us feel like at home. My wife and me both agree meeting Melissa and Bill is the most wonderful thing of this trip to America. We really had a good time and enjoyed staying at the loft. The loft is beautiful, clean and comfortable. The location of the loft is good, very convenient but quiet. There are restaurants and central market nearby. We would highly recommed Melissa & Bill's Loft on Cupid's Bluff. "
83322,1605427,2012-07-01,2672811,Barbara Terry,"What a lovely two nights in Bill and Melissa’s Loft. My husband and I were in Austin to attend my father’s memorial service and we needed seclusion, privacy and healing. Found it in spades. Not only was the Loft immaculate and answered our every need, (including breakfast in the fridge, the whirlpool bathtub AND fresh flowers), the grounds provided a soothing natural comfort for the soul. We felt like members of the family and would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Bill and Melissa. 
"
83322,1740743,2012-07-18,2763748,Dawn,"My husband and I, in our late twenties from New York, enjoyed our stay so much at the loft.  We could have not asked for a more perfect little place to enjoy some time away. I love the city of Austin and although we weren't far, the remoteness of the property felt like we were miles away. It was quiet, serene, beautifully landscaped with Austin Charm. The Loft itself was immaculate.  Bill and Melissa put small treats in the fridge for early morning breakfasts and a pantry stocked with some things that were needed. Coffee was amazing. And most of all Bill and Melissa were wonderful hosts who were kind and warm-hearted. They were concerned with making our stay flawless and they absolutely did! 100% we will be back!"
83322,1779956,2012-07-23,2145772,Adrian,"Simply Wow...this place is wonderful. I give it the 3 C's....comfortable, convenient, and clean. Bill and Melissa were wonderful hosts and their loft is just what we needed for some R&R. Thank you for your hospitality and we look forward to coming back to visit :)"
83322,1988803,2012-08-14,3186375,Shaune,"Bill and Melissa were fantastic hosts. (Besides just being super cool, they were also kind enough to take the time to ship us some clothes that we left hanging in the closet.)

The Loft really was perfect for a  weekend that involved everything from attending a wedding, to going shopping, then visiting friends and fitting in some time to just relax on the deck with a book.  

From the secluded feel of the property, you would never know It's so close to South Lamar and Downtown. We found the location perfect for using Mopac or 290 as well.  There were also a good variety of stores and restaurants on Brodie, which was just minutes away.

We enjoyed our stay and look forward to staying there again soon!"
83322,2420016,2012-09-26,1733340,Dave,"We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time in ""The Loft""! The privacy, the nature surrounding us, even though we were so close to town, the deck for morning coffee and relaxing times, the cleanliness of the loft and everything we needed inside, including some extras put there by our gracious hosts! We also very much enjoyed the company of Bill and Melissa and felt comfortable with them as we do with old friends. We will definitely return and spend more time next time around. We love Austin and we love staying at ""The Loft"".
Thanks Bill and Melissa ... Dave and Sally"
83322,2548104,2012-10-08,2186663,Eileen,"We immediately felt like Melissa and Bill were long lost friends, if not family. Such a wonderful, caring couple that we could have talked to all day! The loft is adorable, the surroundings are serene and we will most definitely be back - if only to sit on the deck and talk more with our wonderful hosts. I highly recommend the Loft and M & B (and all the accompanying sweet animals too!).
"
83322,2612641,2012-10-15,3237957,Elizabeth,"My boyfriend and I had a WONDERFUL stay at the Loft. Bill and Melissa were very warm, friendly and hospitable. They were also very flexible on our arrival and departure times which was much appreciated since we were there for ACL and we were traveling from Houston. The Loft was very clean and private but not too far from downtown.  We also really appreciated the snacks, water and coffee that they had stocked for us in the kitchen! We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We will certainly be back again!"
83322,2925221,2012-11-20,1812240,Bill,"Thank you Bill and Melissa! We had a great stay at Cupid's Loft and highly recommend it to anyone. The location is close to downtown but the setting is rural and quiet. We very much look forward to coming back and staying there again because this 5-day visit was just too short. The landscaping, the loft itself, and the the Hornung's hospitality are first class. Do not hesitate to book your stay. Bill and Wendi"
83322,3021815,2012-12-03,21929,Tandy,"Melissa and Bill are very friendly and helpful, and the place is as nice as it looks in the picture.  Beautiful hardwood floors, lots of light, extremely clean.  The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove.  Essentially one large room, with a separate bathroom (with a big tub) and a kitchen area in the large room with an island in the middle.  There's a deck just outside the front door, quite private, surrounded by trees (almost like being in a jungle).

No TV (but I don't watch TV anyway), but a fair number of good books to read.  

The only thing to be aware of is that finding the place really isn't trivial. Follow their directions, since otherwise it's not that hard to miss the last turn needed to find their place!  


"
83322,3439901,2013-01-29,1389121,Patrick,"Melissa and Bill were extremely nice people and such great hosts.

They were always there to support me if I needed anything and were very welcoming.

The property and nature is great.

The guesthouse loft is nice and modern.  The tub is huge and the kitchen has everything I needed.

Enjoy"
83322,3504376,2013-02-09,4900848,D,"Bill and Melissa are excellent hosts. When we arrived Bill greeted us and let us in the loft. The loft was spotless and it's an incredible property. It's almost like its own hiding spot in Austin, you would never know that you're so close! We definitely loved our stay there and will come back hopefully many more times! This is a place we've recommended to our friends and family and thus recommend to anyone."
83322,3685173,2013-03-04,4693048,Chase,"We really enjoyed our 2 day stay here.  The place was exactly as described, very clean and peaceful.  Convenient location with easy highway access, but felt nicely secluded. Bill and Melissa thought of everything in providing breakfast and snack food, and other conveniences. The owners were easily accesible and very helpful. We would definitely stay again."
83322,3760303,2013-03-12,106775,James,"Great place.  Great location.  Great hosts.  The loft is clean, quiet, convenient, well-decorated.  Double thumbs up!"
83322,3844315,2013-03-20,3970297,Markus,"Melissa und Bill waren liebenswerte und aufmerksame Gastgeber. Da wir für das SXSW Festival in Austin waren, hatten wir leider viel zu wenig Zeit in dem geschmack- und liebevoll ausgestatten Loft zu verbringen. Melissa und Bill haben eine wahre Oase am Rande der Großstadt geschaffen. Wir werden sehr gerne wiederkommen und möchten dann auch mehr Zeit mit Melissa, Bill und den vielen Tieren auf dem wunderschönen Anwesen verbringen. 5 Sterne."
83322,4003907,2013-04-02,5272059,Kim,"Spent a long weekend @ Melissa & Bill's place. It really was perfect for what we were looking for! The hosts were available but not intrusive, the neighborhood was quiet but still close to all retail & food needs, and there is even decent hiking trails that get you to the greenbelt without needing to drive anywhere! The loft had everything we needed (even an ironing board & iron). The bath tub is big enough for two & the shower head is high enough that I didn't have to hunch over to wash my hair. The dogs are big & very gentle. Really - everything was as they presented it. Bill even went out of his way to make sure we had the latest weekly magazines with local eatery reviews since he knew we wanted to dine out quite a bit. This is a beautiful, well kept, quiet space with plenty of privacy or social options. Give it a shot!"
83322,4235054,2013-04-21,5336566,Andrea,"We stayed here for two nights and could not have asked for a better place. Melissa and Bill were over the top hospitable and friendly. When we got there, Bill gave us a tour of the place and made sure that we had everything that we needed. When we went in, they had left us a bowl of fruit, snacks, and bottles of water. The loft is absolutely lovely. The outside is so beautiful as well. The loft is within walking distance of a few different hiking trails, and Bill and Melissa were kind enough to provide us with a map and directions on how to find the best trails. They were also able to direct us to the nearest grocery store and local restaurants. The grocery store was only about a 3 minute drive and downtown Austin was less than 15 minutes away. This is a great location, lots of privacy yet still close enough to the city. Bill and Melissa were wonderful hosts, and the loft was wonderful. Only downsides, if you can even call these downsides: the bed was a double when we were thinking it was going to be bigger and the parking is really tight. Other than that, it was great, and we can't wait to stay there again!"
83322,4380848,2013-05-01,2241468,Bonnie,"Bill and Melissa's loft was amazing!! I would say this is probably the best airbnb experience I've ever had.

Location: The location was perfectly secluded for a relaxing vacation but close enough to all the attractions to get to all the attractions within 10 - 15 minutes drive.

Amenities: How do I put this.... this loft has everything you ever thought of needing, and everything you didn't think of needing. Hair dryer, ironing board, iron, plates, ice, floss, luggage rack.... everything!

General: the loft is sparkly clean and so nicely renovated. Everything looked new and well maintained. The loft really made us feel welcomed and it was almost like having a space of our own in Austin.

Bill and Melissa were very friendly, easy to talk to and very helpful about any questions we had – which we didn't have many because everything was so well prepared! We were here only for a short 3 day stay so unfortunately didn't have that much time to get to know them. But if we ever come back to Austin (and believe me I will,) I will definitely pick this as my first choice accommodation."
83322,4459579,2013-05-06,5935827,Patricia,"The loft was definitely our home away from home. We felt at peace sitting on the patio drinking fresh and flavorful coffee in the crisp morning air. The features in this space are so inviting and definitely well maintained and cared for. Melissa and Bill were also very inviting and made sure our stay was comfortable providing many amenities you could not expect anywhere else. They were very friendly and we did not mind bumping into them on our way in or out, stopping for a few moments to share stories and laughs. We will definitely stay at the loft any time we visit Austin! "
83322,4552634,2013-05-12,1922859,Susanna,"Location:
Very secluded even though the highway is so close. You pull into a private residential street and then pull into their even more private tree-lined driveway. Very nice peaceful stay. If you need to keep in touch with the hosts, their house is just further down the driveway. On site hiking paths was awesome. Probably would've braved going down the trails more had I had better shoes. The whole property in general looks like an artistic public garden, a hidden jewel. We ended up bringing our car, which makes it easier to travel around and get things that we needed. 

Amenities:
Modern decor, cute breakfast nook, fruits, pastry, snacks, water bottles, coffee/creamer, cups/plates/bowls, extra blankets, books/magazines about Austin, plus all the things you would expect from a hotel except better. They even provided things you didn't expect (like a colander!) but it was a pleasant surprise and we made use of these items.

Hosts:
Did not have the pleasure of meeting Melissa but Bill told us that she's in charge of the inside of the loft, which is magnificent. Bill was available for us to answer our questions during our stay and even provided us with toothpaste which we forgot to pack. Bill will spend time with you to give you tips on what to do in Austin. Also pointed out that if we chose to keep to ourselves more he was fine with that too.. but we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with him and the animals.

Overall, the stay was wonderful and my boyfriend and I definitely would like to come again. You'll feel enchanted when you first pull up to the loft. The amenities are great and you're provided with up to date guides on attractions in Austin. WIFI was nice so we can watch Netflix on our laptop. You're basically paying for a very comfortable stay and their property/trails makes you feel like you're walking through Austin's public gardens.

83322,4681390,2013-05-20,990685,Elizabeth,"Melissa and Bill's place is amazing. It feels secluded, but you're still close to everything. The space is beautiful and so are the grounds. We really liked how there was food and water in the fridge as well as towels and blankets. We also got to see the wild turkey, geese, chickens and salamanders that live on the property."
83322,4967895,2013-06-04,6207729,Mary,"We had a wonderful stay at Bill & Melissa's loft.  It was so clean and nicely decorated.  The grounds were inviting but we chose to sit perched on the tree top deck and take in the relaxing view.  Because the loft was detached from the main house, we had total privacy and came and went as we pleased.  We will definitely stay there again.  It was a pleasurable experience.

83322,5055596,2013-06-10,5944277,Brent,1st time using airbnb and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Melissa & Bill were very nice and accommodating and the loft was perfect. We really enjoyed the trails through the property and the various wildlife. We encourage anyone to stay here to enjoy an experience outside of boring hotels. Thank you Melissa & Bill!
83322,5198675,2013-06-17,46063,Monte,"Bill & Melissa are great hosts. They have done a nice job of landscaping. The apartment is away from the house, so  it is private. Room is clean and very nice. Very happy with our stay."
83322,5346370,2013-06-25,5165182,Heather,"The loft was extremely clean, cool, quiet, and very comfortable. Bill and Melissa were very friendly, and provided everything that I could have possibly needed. I was looking for a place to work and relax, and the loft was the perfect spot. From fruit to croissants and fresh coffee, Bill and Melissa have thought of everything to make your stay pleasant. I just wish I could have spent more time with them. Highly recommended. "
83322,5540229,2013-07-05,2841543,Anita,"Bill & Melissa are wonderful hosts - Texas hospitality at its best.  

The loft was a wonderful oasis - we had everything we needed.  Despite the hot Texas weather, the loft was cool yet light filled.  The layout of the loft is well thought out, the decoration pleasing, and so clean. While it was too hot to hike during the day, the views are beautiful.  As others commented, the place is secluded but very convenient. We'll definitely be coming back."
83322,6646248,2013-08-19,8144644,Antoine,"We really enjoyed this peaceful, clean, nicely furnished and charmful nest on top of oaks & pines. We went there for a relaxing getaway and were delighted to discover this original place which feel quite far from downtown but actually is at only 10-15 min drive..
We appreciated as well meeting Bill & Melissa who were very friendly and available when needed 
We definitely could have spent more time out there and would come back with great pleasure!"
83322,8811445,2013-11-19,5969149,Bo," The Loft is located in a great part of Austin; near 290 and MoPac. Surrounded by trees, this one bedroom apartment makes a great escape from the city!
 Bill and Melissa are very gracious hosts! Upon arrival, the heat in the Loft was already on (believe it or not, it does get cold in Texas) and there was fruit and other snacks in the fridge. Bill had even offered to bring up a small TV for us, but we declined. The view from the deck was all we needed.
 The Loft is well kept and the landscaping around it are immaculate!
 My wife and I highly recommend the Loft! 

Kudos to the Hornungs!

83322,9022946,2013-12-02,9533552,Alice,"We had a lovely stay at the Loft.  The accommodations were beautiful, and we loved being in the woods even though we were close to great Austin locations.  Bill is a fine host and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him."
83322,9807713,2014-01-11,10535266,Steven,"I really enjoyed this private loft on Bill and Melissa's property.  I met Bill immediately on my arrival.  He was very humorous and personable.  Prior to my arrival, I received a perfectly detailed and humorous email with directions to the property.  The loft is beautiful and private.  I will definitely stay here again.  Bill and Melissa were perfect hosts, allowing as much privacy or interaction as the guests desire.  "
83322,10391563,2014-02-17,5998181,Sergio,This is wonderful little loft located in a very quiet neighborhood.  We love staying at the Cupid's Bluff whenever we stay in Austin. We are cyclists so when we stay here we head out to bike in Dripping Springs and Blanco.  Both are very close.  We highly recommend this place.  
83322,10680042,2014-03-03,7825962,Bethany,"This loft was an absolute little miniature Eden getaway in the midst of Austin. Everything was so clean and well kept, it felt like staying over at a friend's house! We did not get a chance to meet Melissa, but Bill was such a kind and generous host. We even spent a bit of time exploring the gorgeous property and Bill had wonderful stories and information for us. There were waters and snacks in the fridge and some kind of absolutely scrumptious breakfast cake, which, I'm almost ashamed to say, we ate in its entirety. I could not have asked for a better first experience using airbnb! I know I'll certainly try to book the Loft on Cupid's Bluff next time I visit Austin."
83322,10881462,2014-03-11,106775,James,"Bill and Melissa are the kindest hosts I have met on AirBnb.  And their loft is one of my favorite.  Have stayed here a few times now.  Exceptionally clean, convenient, private and cozy.  Perfect.  Highly recommended."
83322,11007495,2014-03-17,11794231,Shannon,"Bill & Melissa are the absolute best! They really thought of everything and were so sweet with their hospitality. Our only qualm was that we were so busy with SXSW and didn't get to spend any time with them past the first day. The loft is so nice, modern, quiet, and clean. I would definitely stay there again if I was coming back to Austin. Thank you guys!"
83322,11358590,2014-03-31,2198986,Tracey,"First off, the property is beautiful. Tall shady trees are everywhere and nestled in is the loft. The loft is pristine. The fridge was stocked with bottles of water and some snacks, it was such a thoughtful touch! Everything was extremely clean and kept up; the loft felt brand new! In addition to cleanliness, the loft was warm and welcoming, it felt like home. The bed is on the small side, but it worked out fine. While we didn't meet Melissa, Bill was great. He was kind and helpful when we asked him about places to hike, and we couldn't have been happier with his advice. Overall, I would without a doubt recommend this little gem, and personally I cannot wait to return. 

Oh and the jacuzzi bath tub was amazing! (Especially after a hike!). "
83322,11863960,2014-04-17,8697925,Chris,"I'm about to shoot myself in the foot, but it's the right thing to do. This place is magical, and Bill and Melissa are among the kindest, most interesting people I've ever met. I wish I could say otherwise, so their place would be more likely to be available next time I'm headed to Austin, but there you have it. The apartment is very comfortable, open and bright, surrounded by singing birds and swaying trees. A big terrace is perfect for taking some sun or star-gazing. The property is like a lovingly tended botanical garden. Bill and Melissa treat you like a lifelong friend who's finally come to visit—while respecting your privacy as well. And lastly, although their property is in a lovely pocket of nature, they're within a mile of several major freeways, so getting into town or the airport is a breeze. I will never go to Austin without first checking to see if this place is available. My wife and I were very sorry to leave."
83322,12567411,2014-05-05,936310,Brian,"I cant say enough great things about Cupid's Bluff and Melissa and Bill...
beautiful property, 
a very quiet and serene location, 
spotless accommodations,  
stocked fridge with all you need to get started when you arrive, 
very conveniently located to all of Austin (and a great grocery a mile away!)
The only thing I'd suggest is to make sure you save time to sit and chat with Melissa and Bill! 
I could have talked with them for hours and hours...

83322,13136955,2014-05-20,13198515,Mike,"Cupid's Bluff was our first AirBNB experience, and it was nothing short of incredible. The apartment was immaculately clean and thoughtfully stocked with snacks, water, towels, and toiletries. The deck and the surrounding property were like something out of a fairy tale. As for Bill and Melissa: We couldn't have asked for kinder, more generous, more enjoyable hosts. 

We'll likely travel again to Austin in the coming year to see family, and as of this past week, will plan those trips as much around the availability of Cupid's Bluff as plane ticket prices and our family's schedule! "
83322,13362883,2014-05-26,5135085,Mat,"Melissa & Bill's cute little loft was just perfect. The grounds were beautiful—quiet and tucked away among the trees. The loft was just right. You can tell the hosts enjoyed making their guests feel comfy. There was fresh bowl of fruit in the fridge with other fun little snacks (which came in handy), blueberry muffins, a selection of coffees, teas, and such. Books all over to sit back and read. We were quite impressed. We were only about 10-15 minutes from 6th street and was pretty convenient. I highly recommend this loft, and will definitely choose this again when I come back to Austin."
83322,13959730,2014-06-09,14518886,Alice,"This is a very unique little hide-away place.  The space is nicely decorated with an update bath.  The host provided snacks (Central Market muffins -- yum!) and bottled water and coffee.  We chatted with Bill a few times during our weekend but did not get to meet Melissa. Bill was extremely nice and accommodating.  

The only drawback for us was the bed is a full size which proved a bit small for us.  I would have slept on the pull out couch but it didn't have a mattress.  If you are used to a queen or king mattress you may find the bed a bit small.  There's no tv but that didn't bother us this trip -- just FYI."
83322,15524947,2014-07-11,12642989,Courtney,"Fabulous place! My Husband, Daughter, and I just finished our trip to Austin and stayed at the loft for about a month. Their property is amazing and the location is perfect for traveling in and around the city. Bill and Melissa were gracious hosts and it was clear that they put a lot of thought into making the space comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor deck and gardens as well. It was a privilege to stay here!"
83322,16516322,2014-07-28,18425555,Tara,"This was our first ""non-hotel"" experience traveling, and we could have not asked for anything better. As soon as my husband and I arrived at the property, Bill was there to greet us and show us the place. He gave us a quick tour (since we arrived a bit later at night), and was very welcoming and kind in inviting us to join him and his wife, Melissa, the next day to feed their hens and raccoons at night. Bill also pointed out that the sofa in the place was a sofa bed in case we wanted to host a friend or have someone else join us overnight! We stayed at the loft/studio for 2 nights and because it was such a short visit we did not get a chance to do everything Bill had offered. When we woke up the next day (our first morning) we discovered that there was a big wooden bowl of apples and nectarines in the fridge, along with a box of pastry, half a dozen of water bottles, and granola/energy bars. This warmed our hearts. 

FYI, the location is very close to the beautiful Zilker park which my husband and I spent one full day out of the 2 days we were there at the park. 

The Loft/studio was exactly as it shows in the pictures online, and its a very cozy and artsy place. There were lots of books and magazines in the place. Everything was new, clean, and very well kept. It was well equipped with pretty much everything you can think of, and the description online was exactly what we found at this place. The nature area out side was like the icing on the cake. It was so beautiful outside, and if you are a nature lover like my husband and I are, you will love sitting outside on the beautiful benches under the trees! 

Overall, we had a great experience at Loft on Cupid's Bluff and we would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin! "
83322,16953213,2014-08-04,11983619,Ana,"What a wonderful place to stay! The hosts left muffins and fruit in the refrigerator for us. It was a very peaceful setting. This is the perfect place to stay in Austin if you aren't here to go downtown to 6th street to party, but are here to experience what it is really like to live in Austin. Loved it!"
83322,19653744,2014-09-15,21059684,Stephen,"My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time staying at Melissa/Bill's place. The studio was exactly as pictured, and they hospitably included premium breakfast foods and snacks in the fridge. The property is a convenient 15 minute drive to most attractions in and around Austin CBD. I would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat to stay at in the greater Austin area."
83322,20099505,2014-09-23,17308699,Kim Lynn,"Bill & Melissa were exceptionally gracious hosts! The place was just as listed, very tidy and honestly had anything you can ever need. Perfect for our stay. We absolutely love the fact that it was tucked away within Barton Creek, a relaxing getaway. Which such thoroughness, Bill gave us great descriptions and easy directions to locate the loft. Since our trip was for relaxation and outdoor activities, Bill also gave insights to easy access hiking trails which is practically in their backyard! Lovely couple, great loft!

"
83322,20525541,2014-09-30,15941651,Ashley,"My boyfriend and I had a lovely retreat thanks to Melissa and Bill's beautiful property. The loft is precisely as advertised. What they don't tell you (or brag about enough) is that they've thought of everything you might need to make this space a home away from home. Not only did they leave some foods for breakfast (and our hike on nearby trails), they stocked the kitchen and bathroom with all necessary supplies. 

The space is bright, clean, and well designed. It is surrounded by the beauty of the natural landscape, for those who want to feel more like an Austin resident than a tourist. (Not to say that Bill and Melissa haven't thought of anything you might need as a tourist. They left an Austin Chronicle with us; and Bill was available with recommendations.) We would definitely stay here again. Our only regret is not staying longer. It would have been nice to plan more time to talk with the hosts, and enjoy the porch area."
83322,20866453,2014-10-06,1604699,RJ And Jasmine,"Our stay with Bill and Melinda was exceptional. Their home and hearts were full of life. To begin, the actual loft is perfect for two. It is filled with natural sunlight, stocked with great books to read on the porch while sipping your morning coffee, and is nestled so carefully amongst a small patch of trees that you may actually think you're living in a treehouse. The property is also tucked away in a cute and quiet neighborhood along the ""green built"" and pits up right against some great trails. Bill and Melissa live close by on the property, which is basically a wild life conservatory. They rescue and take care of wild (and exotic!) animals. We met Two Guns (a wild turkey), a couple parrots, Bentley (their amazing dog), Geese, and (friendly) raccoons. Their property is a work of art, and was so enjoyable it was difficult to leave. Our biggest regret was not staying longer :)"
83322,21275569,2014-10-14,2858607,Hugo,"My wife and I loved our stay on Cupid's Bluff! The loft was very cozy - Bill and Melissa went above and beyond to make this feel like a home away from home. Aside from all of the amenities we could possibly need (wifi, toothpaste, coffee), Bill and Melissa even provided little extras - like a fresh fruit basket, pumpkin bread, and bottled water. The scenery was beautiful and very peaceful. Although, we did not have the pleasure of meeting Melissa, Bill was a terrific and incredibly friendly host. It was truly a pleasure to have met him and to have stayed at their charming loft.   "
83322,21950036,2014-10-27,20914410,Gabe,"Everything was wonderful.  I enjoyed my stay and wish I was able to stay longer.  Bill and Melissa thought of everything.  They had the fridge stocked with coffee, fruit, pumpkin bread, and other snacks.  The property was beautiful.  I was able to go out on a 12 mile trail run right off.  Couldn't be better. I am looking for a reason to return to Austin, so that I can stay again."
83322,22300936,2014-11-03,21265704,Velina,"We loved staying in Cupid's Loft. We didn't get to meet Melissa but we felt her little touches everywhere with decorations, books, flowers, how clean everything was and the food. Bill was a wonderful host and made us fee right at home. They left breakfasts and snacks in the refrigerator for us and that was such a nice surprise! It made mornings so much nicer because we didn't have to rush out for breakfast each day. The property itself is just beautiful and we love what they have done with it. Everything was just perfect and we loved everything about it. We will highly recommend this place to our friends and family."
83322,22581295,2014-11-10,20825869,Lisa,"Bill provided detailed directions to the Loft and was nearby to offer assistance when we drove in.  He and Melissa had stocked the refrigerator and pantry with an assortment of breakfast and snack foods, and the bathroom offered an abundance of fluffy towels and nice soaps. There was even a spare toothbrush! I had brought along a book to read, but Bill and Melissa's collection of reading material ran the gamut, so I had more fun browsing through their books and never even opened my own. Comfortable bed, lovely dinnerware, and a raised deck for our morning coffee -- We could have stayed forever. This was our first Airbnb experience and, not only are we sold on the service, we are also looking forward to planning another stay at Bill and Melissa's Loft on Cupid's Bluff."
83322,22891975,2014-11-17,21983115,Matthew,Bill welcomed us immediately. My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better experience especially with it being her first time to Austin. The loft was super cozy and Bill and Melissa's company when we had some free time was very enjoyable. 
83322,23971717,2014-12-15,12261563,Kimberly,"This loft was a great Austin getaway! It was a little tricky finding the driveway to the loft from the street (especially at night), but not too bad. Everything was clean, comfortable, and just the right size for 2 people. I loved the functionality of the space, and the location was perfect for our trip - everywhere we wanted to go was at most a 15 min drive, and the loft felt very secluded and quiet even though it was so close to the highway. The water got hot very quickly for cooking and the shower, and they provided towels and bathroom essentials. They also stocked the fridge with some snacks,  bottled water, and coffee supplies which was greatly appreciated! This was a great Airbnb find, and I would definitely stay here again!   "
83322,24649336,2015-01-01,12563060,Patrick,"This loft is one of the most amazing places to stay in. It looks just like it does in the pictures, it is quiet, it is clean, it is very comfortable, and Melissa and Bill are very welcoming. When we arrived Bill was cleaning up the porch for us (even though it ended up too cold to use it) and was very accommodating. Everything in the loft was very clean, new and made me feel like I was staying at home (down to the muffins in the fridge and snacks in the pantry). Downtown Austin is about 10 minutes away, the airport is about 15 minutes away, and we didn't find anything more that 25 minutes away (other than San Antonio). I would not hesitate to stay here again, especially for SXSW or F1, to escape the ""weird"" and relax a little bit.

In short, stay here if you can, comfortable, relaxing and like staying in a tree house apartment."
83322,25810552,2015-01-26,25859833,Brian,"my wife and I had a wonderful weekend staying at Bill and Melissa's guest house apartment. our hosts were very thoughtful in anticipating the needs of their guests. the apartment was immaculately clean. the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
Bill and Melissa were very kind and welcoming. we will definitely consider staying again when we return to Austin. "
83322,26151200,2015-02-05,7057582,Lydia,"We have loved our stay in the loft and are hoping we'll be able to do it again next year. Working on the road can be exhausting and depleting but we loved being able to come ""home"" each day.

Bill and Melissa are most generous hosts. The photos are accurate and the apartment is perfectly appointed with everything you might want: plentiful towels and hot water, extra set of sheets, four quality pillows of different firmness, an elegant fruit basket, basics in the pantry and refrigerator, vase of flowers, ability to heat or cool the apartment at will. When we decided to make dinner for business associates, they loaned us extra seats and a larger pot (as well as providing some of the most delicious balsamic vinegar I've ever used!). These are the kinds of people who give AirBnB a good name.

The location is convenient since we needed a car anyway (barely 10 minutes to any part of town we aimed for) and parking is easy. I enjoyed having access to Barton Springs trail for running and hiking. 

I don't think I can rate this stay or the hosts highly enough!
"
83322,26997747,2015-02-23,14252460,Polina,"I can't say enough about the Loft on Cupid's Bluff. It is truly an oasis near the city - clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and on stunning grounds. The property is a short drive from downtown (10-15 mins) and even closer to many cute coffeeshops/restaurants. You can hike from nearby. If you head over to bill and Melissa's you can meet their beautiful dog and other animals. As others have mentioned, Bill and Melissa are kind and generous, going the extra mile to stock the fridge with goodies, pick up the latest copy of the Austin chronicle or make time to chat. They are also conscious of privacy and will give you space if that's what you'd prefer. Of note, the wifi is spotty and the bed is a full rather than a queen. These things were absolutely not an issue for us - we would stay at Melissa and Bill's again in a heartbeat! I would very much recommend this property for anyone staying in Austin."
83322,27674881,2015-03-09,2894080,Clif,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay on Cupid's Bluff.  It was very private, quiet, and comfy.  Bill and Melissa were perfect hosts, providing everything needed for my stay.  The property itself is awesome.  I wish I could have had more time to explore and learn more about the history of the area (next time). I was just a short drive from Lamar, one of my favorite areas of Austin.  The home is close to everything.  I loved all the books in the unit.
Bottom line - I look forward to staying at Cupid's Bluff again.

83322,28790634,2015-03-30,27237524,Lori,"The Loft on Cupid exceeded our expectations. The host was warm & welcoming. The loft very clean, comfortable, & lovely. Waking up in the tree tops & surrounded by nature was wonderful.The fresh fruit, coffee, whole grain with fruit breakfast bread were wonderful touches. Having beautiful fresh flowers was also nice. This is truly a home away from home. We look forward to a return visit."

83322,30444789,2015-04-22,26069759,Janice,"What a great place to stay in Austin! We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the tree tops drinking our morning coffee.  Coffee, water, cream, fruit and a coffeecake were all in the refrigerator for us.  Fresh flowers too.  Nice bed, lots of hot water, plush towels and pleasant decor.  We met Bill briefly when we arrived and got a few helpful  tips from him, but then were so busy we did not see him again.  We knew they were right next door if we needed anything, but things were perfect as they were.  Would love to stay here again."
83322,31475768,2015-05-05,202218,Peggy,"We had a wonderful stay at Melissa and Bill's Loft!  The location tucked away near the greenbelt was quiet and lovely, just 5-10 minutes from town and a great jump off point for our hill country drives to the west. The loft is just as it looks in the pictures, and is wonderfully stocked and decorated with all sorts of extra touches. Bill and Melissa are lovely folks, and their pet turkeys and peacocks are too sweet!  Bill has lots of information to share on the local history and hiking as well, and we had a terrific time hiking the Barton Creek trail just nearby. In short, it's a terrific place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again. "
83322,31919317,2015-05-11,12954122,Roel,"We arrived in Austin much earlier than  anticipated but one phone call to the Hornungs and we were graciously accepted.  Melissa even warned us about the weather.  Sure enough, when we arrived at the Loft it was raining, hard.  Melissa begged off due to the weather, but everything was ready for us when we arrived.  Unfortunately our busy schedule didn't allow for us to meet personally.  I'm sure it would have been a pleasure.
"
83322,33089347,2015-05-25,15941651,Ashley,"I had stayed at this lovely loft last year with my fiance, John, but this year decided to bring my mom. We spent the weekend in Austin for UT Graduation, and a belated mother's day retreat. Though it rained the entire weekend (and thus thwarted our hiking plans), we found the loft a nice, cool, dry refuge. One would think, with the severe thunderstorms, that mosquitos and other critters would have made their way into the loft. But we didn't see any! (And should you sit out on the porch in lighter rain, Bill and Melissa have helpfully provided bug repellant spray.) I regret that, during this trip, my Mom and I weren't outside much to enjoy conversation with Bill. But he was there to warmly greet us upon arrival. When we arrived, Bill had been cleaning the deck between bouts of rain. Bill is consistently attentive to the cleanliness of the loft and its deck. Not only is the place very clean and organized, it boasts several thoughtful touches. There were goodies from Central Market in the fridge (croissants, cheese, fruit, energy bars, milk, creamer, coffee, tea) for our breakfasts and snacking. There were fresh flowers in the kitchen, and a fresh print of the Austin Chronicle on the desk. We were so grateful to call this place home for a couple days. It provided us the relaxation we needed amidst the storms and graduation festivities. Thank you Bill, and Melissa, for another pleasant stay."
83322,34473682,2015-06-08,6002132,Natasha,"Beautiful little loft in a quiet neighborhood.  Hosts were lovely and very helpful!  Perfect place to stay, would absolutely stay again.  Thanks for everything!"
83322,35240223,2015-06-16,34013773,Jessica,"Melissa and Bill were great. Bill was there to welcome us as we arrived and took the time to show us around. The loft is beautiful,  clean and unique. Very close to town and surrounded by lovely landscapes. They left snacks and fruit for us in the fridge. The fresh flowers outside and in the kitchen were a great touch.  I really enjoyed the stay and would do it again. Thanks again for hosting us!"
83322,35941031,2015-06-23,15941651,Ashley,"Once again, John and I had a perfect stay at the loft. The place was as pristine as it had been in previous visits. The only change was an extra can of ""deep woods"" off, thoughtfully placed outside by Bill. (He must have remembered from my last visit that I attract mosquitos while standing outside, chatting.) Ah, and there was a book on the coffee table, new to me, since my other stays, on Austin writers, I believe. Another personal and thoughtful touch given my current work. Really, it's these personal touches that Melissa and Bill do best. They gave us a very thoughtful gift upon learning about our engagement (a new development since our previous visit.) As usual, they put together a good spread of breakfast foods and hiking snacks. John and I were able to take advantage of the hiking, which I highly recommend--especially now that Barton Creek is brimming. I'd also recommend to other guests that they make time to speak with Bill. Our schedules didn't overlap as much as we had hoped this time; but every encounter was thought-provoking and pleasant. (A superb host, Bill indulges our interests in philosophy, writing, and travel.) We cannot say enough good things about our stay here. It has such good memories for us; and we would not imagine staying in Austin with any other hosts. "
83322,37290515,2015-07-06,12639859,Magda,"I highly recommend you stay at the loft if you're seeking a quiet getaway that's still close to everything Austin has to offer. (Downtown Austin is about a 10 minute drive away.) 
My fiancé and I were in town for a few days for our anniversary, and it was the best place we could've chosen for a romantic vacation.
The loft is beautiful, comfortable, cozy, and well-stocked with cooking supplies, basic amenities, and little treats (scones, tea, coffee, fresh fruit, fresh flowers, etc).
Melissa and Bill are warm and hospitable; make sure you stop by their house just up the lane from the loft to say hi.
We especially appreciated the jacuzzi bathtub and the spacious deck, where we enjoyed our morning coffee.
Highly recommend this spot! Looking forward to staying here again."
83322,39199136,2015-07-21,26659901,Andrew,"Staying at the Loft was an absolute dream!  Me and my boyfriend stayed for a long weekend for our anniversary, and it was perfect. Bill and Melissa put so much thought into making the Loft look wonderful and were very attentive to our needs. The property is stunning, and the work Bill has done to it is phenomenal; just walking around the property was one of our favorite parts of the weekend. The location is so convenient, too, being only about 10-15 minutes from downtown Austin. Bill and Melissa were the perfect hosts, we loved talking with them and hearing their stories. We will definitely be back to the Loft soon!"
83322,43159283,2015-08-17,106775,James,"This place is one of the best kept secrets in Texas!  Clean, quiet, comfortable.  And Bill and Melissa are very kind and helpful."
83322,46009360,2015-09-07,41500032,Michael,"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at the loft.  Location was great!  Felt like you were in the country, but minutes away from everything.  Having coffee on the patio was a great way to start the day.  Can't wait to come back and stay another weekend with Bill and Melissa.  "
83322,47854507,2015-09-21,890988,Danielle,"Bill was very welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The loft was beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed. Melissa and Bill even left some fresh fruit and banana bread for us, which was so generous. We have already recommended staying here to a number of people, and will definitely be staying here again when we're back in Austin!"
83322,48818504,2015-09-28,44705775,Cody,Bill and Melissa couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating. They made sure we had everything we needed and were always respectful of our privacy. The loft is very clean and well maintained and the property is beautiful with lots of places to explore and enjoy nature. We will try and stay here again next time we come to Austin. 
83322,49593556,2015-10-05,15523307,Catherine,"Description was accurate. Very quaint and comfortable. Located in a quiet neighborhood off the beaten path.  Bill was very welcoming. Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend more time getting to know him or his wife.  My husband and I were in town for ACL, which meant we were only at the loft in the evenings to sleep.  Would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is looking to relax in a serene location. Shopping and a variety of restaurants near this area."
83322,50434566,2015-10-12,27292298,Andy,"Melissa and Bill's loft is extremely nice. It has everything you could possibly need for a stay of several days. The loft is located in a subdivision that is inside the city, yet feels like a getaway with a beautiful surrounding area. The host's hospitality is admirable with a few simple added touches that really make the stay top-notch. I would highly recommend staying here."
83322,51544247,2015-10-21,3298819,Luna,"Bill and Melissa have a beautiful property that provided us with a quiet enchanted atmosphere. They provided everything we could every think of and more. We were greeted with a fridge of snacks with teas and coffees and plenty of reading material about the area.

Their listing is just as described and even better in real life. The property is nestled in a quiet neighbourhood with easy access to the freeway to head around Austin. 

Overall high recommend to stay here in Austin, Bill and Melissa are some of the most thoughtful hosts I have encountered."
83322,51883337,2015-10-25,11885328,Chelsea,"Melissa and Bill were great hosts.  The loft has everything you need - the refrigerator and stove are nice and would be great if you are trying to save money on eating out.  Everything was very clean and well-maintained.  I appreciated the fresh fruit and snacks in the fridge - a thoughtful touch!  We didn't get to spend much time here, but our stay was very comfortable."
733203,2752905,2012-10-29,3778865,Marco,"House was great and perfect for the purposes of our stay. It's actually much larger than it appears and the backyard was a really fun and unexpected bonus. The hosts were very responsive, always asking if we needed anything and immediately responding to questions. Location is close to Downtown and we walked over a few times. "
733203,3016349,2012-12-03,152,Lee,"Justin and Becca have an amazing home in East Austin, TX. There was room for me and 3 of my friends to each have their own room and there was still plenty of room left over. Every room has it's own character, we had to do a little photo tour of the house and yard before we left since we were so tickled.

Our hosts left us a bucket full of maps and travel guides and there was beer in the fridge. Perfect! It's so hard to find a large house this close to downtown Austin and this one is great."
733203,3682375,2013-03-04,4356531,Jennifer,I had to organize a bachelorette weekend in Austin for 10 girls. Justin and Becca's home was the PERFECT match. Justin and Becca have decorated their home beautifully. It looks straight out of a magazine! Justin and Becca were so helpful and flexible. They left us a list of recommendations for Austin and even some chocolate and champagne. I would highly recommend this house for a fun weekend getaway :) 
733203,3803488,2013-03-17,2933812,Kiran,"There are few homes that I have been to in my life that inspire you to dream BIG - not in an ostentatious sort of way but to actually evaluate one's basic idea of a home and a place of rest. To think about what a home can be...

My team and I were simply blown away by the attention to detail and love that Justin & Becca have put into this place. It oozes character; and, from the moment we walked in: all of us were stunned. 

We ran from room to room discovering little bits of personality that were casually and naturally arranged in this fantastic home. If you think the pictures in the listing are great: the entire place is actually an order of magnitude better. 

We had a lot of friends visit us during sxsw and all of them kept saying they felt ""very very comfortable"" in the space. The place exudes a lot of the character that the owners have - they're laid back, generous and really quite inspirational to be around - really, these are friends that everyone wishes they had :)

...being in the awesome backyard during a warm Austin day listening to the wind-chime and drinking a lemonade while talking to my wife I truly felt.... at home. 

5 stars. These guys truly deserve it!"
733203,4074832,2013-04-08,5007908,Joshua,"The house was amazing! 10 of us were in town for a friend's wedding and it was the perfect place to hang out, relax, and have a great time. I would definitely stay here again with a big group.

Thanks Jusin and Becca!"
733203,4244722,2013-04-22,5022709,Alex,This house is really amazing.  Rent it.  
733203,4448774,2013-05-06,5504667,Andrew,"This was my first time using AirBnb and Justin and Becca were incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process.  They responded to everyone of my questions and offered great suggestions about what to do in the city.  I hosted my brother's bachelor party and everyone agreed this was the perfect house for the large group of 12.  When we arrived, they had a welcome packet that included tons of great information and answered questions about the house that you tend not to think about before you come.  The house also includes a ton of features that really added to our experience such as enough keys for all of us (incredibly helpful when you are scattered throughout the city and come home at different times),  wifi, washer/dryer, clean linens/towers, fridge filled with goodies, old school record player that we played all night long, huge outdoor space with a large outdoor table where we catered fantastic Texas BBQ, dart board, and too many more to list.  

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone coming to Austin

Thanks again guys! "
733203,4569368,2013-05-13,5665099,Douglas,This house was incredible for the bachelor party I hosted here.  The hosts thought of everything we would need to accommodate us from towels to croquet in the backyard.  Lots of fun character throughout the house.
733203,4675402,2013-05-20,626408,Emily,Rented this house for my bachelorette party. It was AMAZING. The house has plenty of room and great decor. We particularly enjoyed the backyard and the hula hoops! Justin and Becca were also amazing hosts. Would highly recommend this place!
733203,4857676,2013-05-29,2783440,Eric,"I just got back from Austin, after staying at this special home with great friends. (Actually, they also happen to be the greatest skee-ball players on the planet. No big deal. Hee.) To just call this home special is an understatement, this is the most extra positive home I've ever set foot in. 

I didn't meet Justin&Becca in person and only spoke briefly with Justin on the phone, but I feel like I know them. The love and creativity they have poured into this house is contagious and it is magical. We descended upon Austin to let the good times roll at a nearby venue, where skee-ball, circus and festival carried on for three perfect days. While we did not spend much time at the house during the days – the mornings and the nights were magnificent. 

Making your way down the wide hallway feels like walking inside a giant hollow oak tree. The bedrooms are perky, they should be on the cover of Pattern Magazine if that exists. Sleeping in the loft is like sleeping on a bed of cotton candy that is floating in the air. The kitchen, you had me at breakfast nook, delightful. And lastly, I hereby declare, from this day forward, the backyard will be called Extra Positive Land. There are hula hoops and a happy hut. There is an endless table with light bulbs above it that hang like stars. This backyard is friendship inside of a fence. 

We came to Austin knowing we were going to have the best time of all times. We did not know that we would stay at the best home of all homes, casa of all casas, pad of all pads. You can say it worked out!

Without a doubt, we'll be back.

Love,
The best skee-ball players on the planet"
733203,5911481,2013-07-22,6771072,Chris,Great house. Justin and Becca were extremely accommodating and were excellent hosts. Highly recommend. Thanks for the hospitality.
733203,7015032,2013-09-03,7669240,Eduardo,"What a great house! Very seamless stay. I hosted my bachelor party here, and the house was set up perfectly to accommodate my group. Very spacious, lots of beds and couches for our group of 10. Justin and Becca made the experience very easy and I would highly recommend this property if you are looking to have a great time in Austin. "
733203,7325498,2013-09-16,6837371,Maggie,"The house was great for a big group; 4 bedrooms downstairs and a loft-like upstairs with 3 beds in the windows. The backyard was big a good place to hang out with the large table for seating. The house is walking distance to a cute restaurant and a wine/beer/ deli down the block. Close enough to the stadium to walk home as most of us did because we couldn't get a cab. The only problem we had with the house was with water temperature, but Justin and Becca quickly called a plumber to fix the problem and compensated us fairly since it was not able to be fixed over the weekend. Really great house for groups; I highly recommend it."
733203,7869418,2013-10-07,6574689,George,"My friends and I had a great time at Justin & Becca's house. It has plenty of room, big bedrooms, huge bathrooms, and a cool backyard. The decor is very eclectic, and very Austin, and I mean that in the best way possible. It is walkable to great bars and restaurants."
733203,8077843,2013-10-15,6512857,Scott,"What a great house to use for any sort of reunion, get-together, bachelor party, etc!  There were 4 separate bedrooms and a huge upstairs loft - and at least 9 mattresses and I'm probably missing one or two.  I spoke with Becca over the phone twice prior to our stay and she was extremely nice.  The house doesn't look like much from the outside but it is amazing on the inside - very eclectic and nicely decorated.  The backyard, which we did not take advantage of, is large with lots of room for a BBQ or a backyard get-together.  

The one negative was they had a construction crew doing work to the outside of the house and due to a scheduling error, they showed up on Monday morning while we were still there.  Becca was very understanding and even gave us a discount on the rate to make up for the inconvenience - this turned the 4 star experience back into a 5 star experience.

Location-wise, the house is a 10-15 minute walk from downtown and the heart of 6th Street.   I'm blanking on the name of the place but the most famous BBQ joint is a 2 block walk from the house - we didn't go due to the line that forms 2 hours before opening but I hear it is well worth the wait.  

Overall, a fantastic experience and if we ever head back to Austin for another reunion, we will without a doubt be using this house again!"
733203,8241646,2013-10-21,422738,Abby Anna,"So we had our wedding planned perfectly - in Manor.  At the last minute (5 days before the wedding), our location was flooded and we searched around desperately all over the Austin area for a place for the wedding reception.  At last, we found this amazing house and yard, and had an incredible wedding which many of our guests said it seemed like we had planned it here.  The house is magical, and the yard was huge.  We will always be so grateful to Becca and Justin for their help and generosity.  Thanks for saving our wedding!!"
733203,8373057,2013-10-28,6523984,Christopher,"This house was great. Justin and Becca had a stack of spare keys for our guests. They were prompt to respond to any of our questions  and just seem like great people. The house itself is full of character. It's old and beautiful and has a spectacular energy. It's close enough to town that you can walk if you're so inclined. If not, it's a short taxi to anywhere you want to go. Every morning we'd walk to the cafe on the corner for great coffee and breakfasts. I look forward to coming back one of these days!"
733203,8695980,2013-11-12,5784114,Ben,"Our group of 13 had a fantastic time staying at Justin's and Becca's super-swanky house in an up-and-coming area of Austin. The house's aesthetics were neat (the photos don't lie), the kitchen is huge and equipped with enough cutlery/place settings for a five-course dinner party. The backyard (includes a fire pit) was a perfect place to unwind after coming home from nights out. Thanks Justin and Becca for helping us have a great trip!"
733203,8811631,2013-11-19,6836971,Ross David,"The owners were extremely accommodating. The house is great, sleeps 10+ guys, located in so close to the downtown district (we actually walked to 6th street and even Rainey street from the house). The owners welcomed us with beer in the fridge and charcoal for the barbecue in the enormous backyard.  Very eclectic interior design, truly an enjoyable stay for our long bachelor party / F1 race weekend. We are definitely considering staying here again in the future. "
733203,9714001,2014-01-06,10395391,Mark,Justin and Becca have a great home for large groups visiting Austin.  Our bachelor party group of 12 had a great time looking around the unique rooms and had plenty of space.  I'll definitely stay at their place again if I'm going to Austin with a large group!  
733203,9840017,2014-01-13,257137,Kayti & Morgen,"Justin & Becca's gorgeous home really made our stay in Austin special.  The house is not at all misrepresented by the pictures, it's truly that beautiful and unique. I hope it's been photographed for design magazines, because its deserving.

In any event, for my 30th some family and friends flew to Austin to celebrate together.  In all we were 9 people, and we slept very comfortably.  There are 4 bedrooms downstairs (plus extra mattresses) and a big loft area with 3 mattresses upstairs - plus two big bathrooms.  The backyard is a major highlight with a fire pit, hula hoops, a dining area etc.  We ate a few meals in the yard using their dishes and cutlery.

The location is actually great, when we first arrived I was worried it was too residential or a bit off the beaten path, then quickly learned that we could walk or drive to the city (we did both).  East Austin and their 'hood is definitely gentrifying with cute shops and restaurants popping up everywhere.

Justin and Becca were great too.  They left all the info we needed for us, and even left some beers in the fridge for us! (We left a few behind for them to keep things fair.)  Honestly I couldnt recommend this placer more highly, I never wanted to leave!"
733203,10283437,2014-02-10,5404352,Jenni,Justin and Becca's home couldn't have been a better place to spend my birthday weekend! The house was perfect for accommodating a large group. The photos just don't do this house justice! And even when we couldn't figure out how to get the hot water heater on (button is next to the thermostat upstairs FYI ;) they got back to me immmidiately and told me what to do. I hope that we get to return and do it again!
733203,10377334,2014-02-17,5335371,Carey,"The house is great if you have a large group. We were a bunch of professors and grad students attending a convention at the downtown convention center (about 25 minutes by foot). The rooms have comfortable beds, and are well decorated. Everything was very clean upon arrival. The house was well stocked with essentials--towels, shampoo and conditioner, coffee, and local beer. There is a lovely backyard, which is larger than what it seems in the photographs. I would definitely recommend staying with Justin and Becca.  "
733203,10974003,2014-03-16,8015373,Adele,"My colleagues and me had the pleasure of staying at Justin and Becca's home for SXSW. Unfortunately, I was away most of the time and didn't manage to meet Justin and Becca in person, but they were immensely helpful whenever I called/texted them to ask for help - which was quite often! They even sent over their plumber to fix a blocked drainage and leaky faucet a couple of hours after I called. 

The house is gorgeous (the photos don't lie!) and within walking distance to the Austin Convention Center and 6th Street. Amazing house and friendly hosts - I would definitely Justin and Becca's place for a great time with a big group of friends/family! "
733203,11342081,2014-03-31,9738595,Lauren,"There were 12 of us who stayed at Justin and Becca's this past weekend for a bachelorette party and the first words out of everyone's mouths when they stepped into the house were, ""Oh my god this house is amazing.""  Not only is the house wonderfully decorated but it also has everything you need throughout your stay there.  And if there was something it didn't have, Becca was on top of it.  And if the weather is nice, the backyard can't be beat.  I would recommend this house in a heartbeat to anyone who is thinking of coming to Austin.  My only warning (and it has nothing to do with the house or the hosts) is that if you plan on going out to the bars or restaurants and don't want to make the walk to downtown, the cab situation was a pain.  Each time we called for cabs, we waited at least an hour and most times we ended up cancelling them since they don't give you any idea of when they will be there.  So plan ahead!"
733203,11530302,2014-04-07,3742186,Jeni,"Justin and Becca's house is exactly what you see in the pictures - huge, gorgeous, full of character, and fully accommodating of the 12 of us girlfriends who want to spend some quality time together for a weekend. We celebrated my best friend's bachelorette here, and although we had a packed itinerary planned, found ourselves changing our schedules around here and there so we could spend more time at the house - dining in the formal dining room with the gorgeous chandelier, toasting marshmallows and making smores in the backyard firepit, and chitchatting in the huge upstairs lounge. The house provided a perfect backdrop to a truly memorable weekend - thanks to Justin and Becca!!"
733203,11982628,2014-04-21,1528312,Andrew,"I cannot begin to describe the wonder of Justin & Becca's Historic Manor. All ten members of my friend's bachelor party were unbelievably impressed with the tasteful decor, spacious accommodations, and best of all, the prime location. And to top it off, Justin and Becca were both extremely gracious in welcoming us to the house (with beer and a cheese and fruit plate) and facilitating a smooth check out. All the best."
733203,12812025,2014-05-12,3016873,Andrea,"Justin and Becca have created the perfect home for big group gatherings.  We used this house as a home base during our wedding weekend, and had a lovely welcome party in the backyard.  Everyone was very impressed with the interior décor and the location was perfect and centrally located.  Our friends have expressed an interest in renting this house again.  Also, Justin and Becca were very responsive and flexible whenever we contacted them."
733203,13943901,2014-06-09,979268,Heather,"The house is beautiful and as pictured. It easily accommodated 13 ladies for a bachelorette weekend. I have to say the beds were EXTREMELY comfy. All the girls were talking about it. Even the hidden twin bed had a topper. We enjoyed the neighborhood and made daily stops to the Quickie Pickie (just a few blocks away) for coffee, sandwiches and breakfast tacos. The backyard is also amazing, with lots of places to eat of play games. Justin and Becca are great. We had a problem with the A/C when we arrived, so I texted Justin. He was there in 15 minutes and fixed the issue! The oven was also broken by the previous tenant and Justin offered to order pizza to the house to compensate us. 

In short: great people, great house :)"
733203,15693171,2014-07-14,1792127,Kasey,"This house was absolutely beautiful and everything I could have wanted for hosting my best friend’s bachelorette party. There were 11 of us total and it was the perfect size—with room the spare! The house looks just like the pictures. It had so much character. All of our friends came in at different times from different places, so watching their reactions as we showed each person through the house was one of the best parts of the trip. The bride-to-be was more ecstatic about this house than I could have possibly hoped for. It has so much character! Becca and Justin were very quick to respond with anything that I needed, but I barely needed to contact them throughout the weekend because everything was well explained and prepared for us. They even left enough beers for everyone in the fridge! After posting pictures of us in the house on Instagram, I have many more friends wanting me to plan more girls trips in Austin in the future (particularly at this house). You get what you pay for, that’s for sure. One of the best parts was that we had 2 cars full of some people who drove, and you can park that inside the gate in the backyard. We didn’t have to worry about anything happening to the cars, or if it was late we could still go out and get something out of the car if we needed it without ever leaving the privacy of the backyard. The bride-to-be wanted somewhere that all of her friends from every part of her life could be together and hang out, like a grown up slumber party. This house gave us the opportunity to do that and we had one of the best weekends of our lives. Thank you Becca and Justin! We will be back in the future"
733203,16052369,2014-07-21,10662636,Jacquelyn,I hosted a bachelorette party for 14 ladies and it was perfect. Plenty of room for everyone. Upstairs and outside were perfect gathering places. Justin and Becca were immediately available for any problems we had (like figuring out how to turn on the outside lights!). The house is beautiful and in a great location. We had a wonderful time and out of 14 women there was not a single complaint. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
733203,16488756,2014-07-28,10110399,Patrick,"I stayed here with a group of friends (11 in all) for a weekend so that we could experience Austin.  We were all very happy with the accomadations and, to a man, we would come back and stay here.  First Justin&Rebecca were great hosts in that the house was clean and prepared for us.  It seems they have thought of everything- air mattresses, clean folded towells, etc... They even left some local brews in the fridge and a hand written note.  Further we had a problem with the modem and they responed immediatly and were very quick to solve the problem by providing a new modem (not easy if you've spent time on the phone trying to do so).  Next the house is in a safe neighborhood, that seems to be up and coming, and close to downtown (5min cab ride or a 20min walk, which we did at night when it cooled down).  Uber is a perfect pairing with this house.  It's a short walk to a high quality convenience store  (quickie pickie) that has a great selection of craft beer and good food.   Additionally, the house itself was full of fun, eclectic stuff.  Everything is a conversation piece.  "
733203,19027244,2014-09-05,5002560,Julia,"This historic house embodies much of what makes Austin unique.  It's quaint and funky with plenty of space for a larger group to hang out and stay cool.  It was nice to walk around the house and admire the many different nicknacks that add color and a sense of playfulness to the space.      

We had a few small glitches during our stay, including a broken air conditioner and a smoke detector in a bedroom that was low on batteries (which meant very loud beeping).  The house was very well organized and laid out but could have benefited from a good cleaning.  

The neighborhood is up and coming.  It still feels a bit desolate but you can find new shops and restaurants within walking distance.  I think it will be a much more vivacious neighborhood in the next year or so.  

Overall, a great landing place for a big group in Austin.        "
733203,19118033,2014-09-07,2005039,Ryan,"Amazing experience!  Perfect for a bachelor party with 10 dudes.  Definitely enough sleeping quarters, the backyard was spacious enough to throw a football around, and the location is great -- just a 10-min Uber ride to downtown.  Justin and Becca were always available by phone/text, but not needed in anyway.  They took care of everything.  10/10 would stay again."
733203,19746037,2014-09-17,20702448,Mark,The house was great. Very clean and inviting .  I would definitely recommend .  The backyard is big and good for hanging out but needs some landscaping and new outdoor furniture go match the inside of the house.
733203,19924393,2014-09-21,2005607,Karla,Justin and Becca were great! I was the maid of honor and in charge of the house full of girls and the whole weekend plans. They were so nice and quick to respond to my questions about the house.
733203,21193201,2014-10-13,15346881,Alejandro,"Justin and Becca greet us with a nice welcome note and local beer in the fridge. The house was decently clean and the neighbourhood is up and coming. They were flexible with the check-out time. 

Great house for ACL! "
733203,21504564,2014-10-19,16328305,Caitlin,Justin and Becca were great hosts. The house was perfect for our group of 11 girls. They were so quick to get back to us whenever we had questions. Very hospitable and left us beer and a note with instructions. Good location to bars and restaurants. Would definitely recommend this house for the future!
733203,21821997,2014-10-25,18115679,Nicola,"The Historic Manor was amazing and the hosts were wonderful! Justin was very easy to contact, he was very accommodating and patient when we booked and cancel and re-booked another night when planning an destination wedding with guests form 4 states. Our wedding party had a great time and everyone loved the house!! It made a beautiful backdrop to get ready in. We will defaults be booking this house again! 3 "
733203,22173352,2014-10-31,10303071,Kyle,Our group thought the house was amazing.
733203,22287987,2014-11-03,2284024,Dante,The house was a perfect spot for the F1 weekend.  Plenty of room and great backyard!   I hope to book the same trip next year.   For groups 6 or more this a great choice.
733203,22518003,2014-11-09,10858069,Anne,"Awesome house! We stayed for a bachelorette party with 12 girls and there was plenty of room for everyone. It's in a great area with everything you need within walking distance and a very reasonable uber ride to most of the locations we wanted to go to (south congress, downtown.. ). The outdoor area is huge and a good place to hang out with the group.  
The house decor really makes the experience and is the most impressive part of the stay. Becca and Justin were both very quick to reply to any questions we had and the house was very clean when we arrived. Would recommend this house or would stay here again. "
733203,22828831,2014-11-16,10829039,Viviane,"I went to austin with 8 friends for a teammates wedding andcwe stayed at Navasota house. It was great all around! Went to 4 restaurants 2 blocks away on 11th street. The kitchen is well stocked, the backyard is inviting and laid out well with many seating  options. The beds were comfortable. We had so much fun being all together for the weekend. I would definitely rent the place again for sure. "
733203,25492088,2015-01-18,21495676,Brandi,"This house worked perfect for my sisters bachelorette party. There was plenty of space for lounging, partying, and sleeping. The backyard was great to hang also. The hosts were extremely attentive and helpful throughout the process. There was added bonuses such as local beer in the fridge, toilet paper, shampoo, and coffee available for use when we arrived.  It's location was an easy cab drive to multiple areas of Austin. There's also a mini grocery store that serves food only a couple of blocks down the road. If I had any complaints it would have to be that the shower is not ideal. The water pressure was either really cold or really hot and the shower pressure was poor. With a group of 11 girls, this was the only thing that came up as a complaint. 

I would highly recommend this house to a big group looking to visit Austin, especially for a quick weekend. "
733203,27245632,2015-03-01,16501875,Remi,"Gorgeous house, super fun for a group of 12 ppl! We had tons of room and the luxurious space was great for hanging out over a long weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and we had a lot of fun cooking there. The backyard is awesome, but the weather was too cold for us to go out there very much this time. The house is very old and cool, however the bathroom fixtures (showers,toilets)  seemed a bit finicky, so be aware of that.

The neighborhood is nice and quiet and also has some great amenities, especially the Quickie Pickie mini-mart, nearby food trucks, and Fresh Farmacy is a fun restaurant nearby. It's just a short cab ride to the airport, as well as nightlife areas and downtown.

Overall everyone loved it and I would definitely stay there again!"
733203,27569761,2015-03-08,22621466,Stephanie,WOW! This house was absolutely perfect for my sister's Bachelorette trip! I never showed her pictures of the house so she was blown away. It was spacious and big and very close to everything. Justin and Becca were wonderful hosts! Absolutely perfect rental and would recommend to anyone! Made our Austin experience a great one!
733203,28703798,2015-03-29,26594294,Henry,"Great house in a great location.  We had 7 guys for the weekend, everybody had a bed, big backyard perfect for hanging out in the nice weather, and it was easy to Uber anywhere in the city from the house. Kitchen was well stocked.  We'd happily stay here again."
733203,28918031,2015-03-31,18361477,Graham,House was great! Feels very much like Austin and is such a neat find. Hosts were great and is in a solid location. 
733203,30658385,2015-04-26,21696359,Gabriella,"This house is amazing! I would highly recommend it for large groups visiting Austin. We were a bachelorette party of 11 girls and it was perfect. Beautifully decorated, plenty of space and a quick cab ride downtown. 
Becca and Justin were amazing and answered all our questions quickly! Thanks for a great weekend!"
733203,31158150,2015-05-03,6689933,Gabrielle & Kyle,My husband and I hosted our wedding at the Historic Manor. The space was absolutely perfect - impeccably decorated with a beautiful back yard. When we arrived the house was spotless and we found fresh cut flowers throughout the space and champaign and cheese in the refrigerator. I couldn't have found a better spot for our celebration.
733203,32313242,2015-05-17,26129706,Chris,"We were here with a group of 13 guys for a bachelor party and the house was the perfect spot. The neighborhood is full of walk-able barbecue, bars, food trucks, and the Quickie Pickie, which combines the best of an NYC bodega and a neighborhood coffee shop. There is a large backyard with a covered picnic table big enough for all of us to have a meal together. There is also a grassy area across the street suitable for frisbee/football tossing. The hosts were great on communication and responsiveness. I would highly recommend a stay here."
733203,33063574,2015-05-25,25774972,Del,"Stellar experience, despite the torrential downpour in Austin all weekend. Space for 13 guys to chill comfortably + eat 20 pounds of delicious Franklin's BBQ (you can even pay someone to stand in line for you :). Pics on AirBNB don't do the place justice and the location is just a $5 uber from either downtown/6th street or Eastside.

Justin & Becca even pre-stocked the beer with tasty Austin beer. Thanks!"
733203,35661505,2015-06-21,2179421,Dan,"A wonderful stay in Austin, would highly recommend to anyone who has a group and is looking for a comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated house.  The pictures show some of how great the house is, but don't show it all.  We greatly enjoyed the backyard which had a lot of space, grill and huge table where we spent a lot of time.  Also worth noting, the house stayed very cool which is important in the humid Austin heat.

Justin and Becca were helpful leading up to the weekend and were quick to respond if needed.   Book it up if you are on the fence."
733203,37161279,2015-07-05,13376114,Rod,"Great stay, great place. Thanks again. "
733203,37944318,2015-07-12,5838908,Natalie,"A group of me and my girlfriends rented Justin & Becca's awesomely unique home for my bachelorette party about a week ago, and the house was just perfect! Everything about it was wonderful from the unique decor, to the size, (we had 12 girls and there was not a single shortage of sleeping/personal space) and the location. We spent our time going to and from Rainey and 6th, and it was the perfect location for all of it! The weekend wouldn't have been the same if we didn't use their house. I am thankful it was available, and when I come back to Austin (I LOVED it!) I will definitely come back to this house if I have the same size group! I would not hesitate to recommend this if you are looking for an awesome home in a great location!"
733203,38819252,2015-07-19,21335897,Julie,"I rented this house with 12 of my friends for my bachelorette party. The house was so beautiful, just as shown in the pictures. It fit our group comfortably. The upstairs is perfect for a gathering space for the full group. The backyard was such a nice surprise too, it's so big and has a nice, long table to fit our large group.  Justin and Becca were both extremely accommodating both before and during our stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.  "
733203,39732322,2015-07-26,26442388,Scott,House was great. Great location with an amazing backyard. We had a group of 10 and it accommodated us perfectly. Very close to nightlife and also a nice little cafe. Would recommend to anyone!
733203,41748772,2015-08-09,32608382,Michaela,"I stayed at Justin & Becca's house this past weekend with 12 other girls for a friend's bachelorette. The house was AMAZING - we had tons of room and places to hang out as a group, and everything was clean & well organized. Justin & Becca were wonderful hosts and so helpful and quick to answer any of our questions. The house was in a perfect location, and I would absolutely recommend this house. "
733203,42858835,2015-08-16,23454789,Justine,"The house was amazing!  It was perfectly set up for a bachelorette, with so many helpful and thoughtful touches throughout the house.  It looks just as adorable in person as it does in the photos, and we loved the eclectic decorations that gave the house character.  We took so many amazing photos just in the house!

We had 9 ladies staying in the house, and it still felt very roomy.  Both the indoor dining room and the backyard had tables and seating enough for all of us.

The house was also amazingly well stocked.  One of the bridesmaids is a professional chef, who cooked breakfast for us, and she said that the kitchen had everything she needed and more.  The bathrooms were also fully stocked, with plenty of towels and toiletries.  I loved that the owners held onto knicknacks from previous bachelorette parties, since they sure came in handy during ours ;)

The beds are amazingly comfortable!  The location was also perfect.  We never had to wait more than 5 minutes for an uber, and it was less than a 10 minute uber ride to 6th street, rainey street, soco, etc."
733203,44888428,2015-08-30,30662519,Sarah,"This place was so amazing!  Justin and Becca made us feel right at home from when we walked (website hidden)/Champagne in the fridge when we got there and everything we could ever need.  Also, we had a bit of a snag with some of the lights and they came right over and fixed everything.  I would highly recommend staying here to anyone!  The house is amazing and exactly as described and pictured.  The backyard is great with a huge picnic table and room to hang out.  "
733203,45768509,2015-09-06,17056064,Jessica,"Justin and Becca were the best Airbnb hosts! They made us feel welcome from booking to the end of our stay. The house is so beautifully decorated and made our bachelorette party such a unique and fun experience! They were so quick to respond if we had any questions about the house during our stay. The house is also in a great central location; close to great restaurants and bars on Rainey Street, Downtown Austin and 6th street. Thanks again for a great stay!"
733203,46274839,2015-09-09,36729504,Stephen,"The house is great. It's quite larger than it looks like it could be from the outside. The owners have a great sense for style. The decor is beautiful; solidly in the ecclectic/qwirky territory, with some items seemingly chosen for oddity/creepiness -- we all loved it. The house was immaculate and the hosts were very hospitable. We had 9 people stay for three nights for a business trip. Managing access to just two bathrooms was a bit of a juggle. Would stay again."
733203,49433926,2015-10-04,16475869,Shaun,"Justin and Becca were nice and very easy to work with. The house was great, exactly what we wanted and looks like the pictures. I would recommend this house to anyone who needs to accommodate a lot of people. We had a blast. "
733203,50277176,2015-10-11,38673170,Phillip,"Awesome stay.  The house was unique, comfortable, very convenient to both downtown and the airport, and overall a great place to stay.  Justin and Becca couldn't have been better hosts.  Highly recommend staying here if you find yourself in Austin.  "
733203,51105146,2015-10-18,11916270,Kris,"The space is cozy and wonderfully decorated. Everyone who came by the house while we were there commented on how beautiful it was. Justin and Becca were very helpful with the unique needs of our stay. 

The house is conveniently located in a nice area. We loved that we could just walk a few blocks down the street to get brunch, dinner, or drinks.

The house had a couple of technical issues during our weekend stay, but they came out and took care of them right away and made sure we had everything we needed."
5666575,28856620,2015-03-30,23271653,R,"Brittani and Mark are absolutely wonderful hosts - we enjoyed our 2 night stay at their place.  Most gracious and considerate hosts - and the maintain a spotlessly clean place.  They could not have been more understanding of our schedule, we had unrestricted access to their very clean bathroom as well. Plenty of hot water in the shower too! :)"
5666575,29243002,2015-04-05,23873541,Trey,Brittani and Mark were very friendly and great to work with. They will do whatever is possible to make sure you have a comfortable stay!
5666575,29878787,2015-04-13,7449369,Brigette,Brittani made me feel welcome and made it easy to come and go and I needed. Her home is accessible to many restaurants within a mile radius and her wifi was fast- which is always a plus. Not to mention I was able to wash a load of clothes and my drive to the airport was only  10 minutes (no traffic). Thanks again for hosting me.
5666575,30244987,2015-04-19,22736374,Sabina,Mark and Brittani were great! Mark let us know where we could find great local grub. Offered to change our towels daily. All around a great experience.
5666575,30809963,2015-04-27,13663882,Lynn,"Brittani and Mark are super nice and very helpful. I felt welcome from the very beginning. I was left alone, but if I had any questions, they were there to help. Their place is modest, but it is clean, quiet and I felt very safe. Bed was comfortable, and although the bathroom is shared, that was not a problem. I enjoyed my stay very much! The area is good, only a short walk to an H.E.B. Supermarket and a little further gets you to groovy So. Congress with shops, restaurants and bus lines."
5666575,31026395,2015-04-30,30172043,Christine,The reservation was canceled 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5666575,31135363,2015-05-02,4163200,Heun,"Brittani and her boyfriend were very friendly.  They gave us a bunch of amenities that we didn't bring so that we could travel lightly.  The location is also super convenient.  We were only a few minutes drive from amazing food spots (Torchy's Tacos, Gourdough's, etc.)."
5666575,31718229,2015-05-09,18698387,Griffin,"My experience was pretty good overall.  This was my first trip using Airbnb so I didn't really know what to expect.  The house was in a good location - close to South Congress, not far from downtown, and fairly close to the airport and highway.  The bed in the room was comfortable, though the futon was not (then again, is a futon ever comfortable?).
Brittani is very accommodating, if I needed anything all I had to do was ask."
5666575,31976360,2015-05-12,22347473,Evelyn,"We had a great, albeit brief stay with Brittiani and her boyfriend. We only met her boyfriend briefly, but he was extremely friendly and have some really helpful tips on places to eat. Brittani was also really easy to contact whenever we had questions.

Their apartment was clean, and the room was great - comfiest bed I've slept on in ages! 

The location was awesome, a 15 minute walk to Soco. A must to see the street food and atmosphere Austin is famous for. A short uber ride to the airport or anywhere else. 

Thanks for lovely time in Austin! Wish we could've stayed longer! We'd recommend Brittiani's place to anyone! "
5666575,32397090,2015-05-17,32532101,Meghan,Brittani and Mark were so flexible and helpful. The place was just what we were looking for!
5666575,32668610,2015-05-19,30787763,Mark,"The perfect hosts, very nice clean place.  Next to great area on south congress."
5666575,32834755,2015-05-22,31823175,Amy,"Brittani's place is in a great location-5-10 minute drive to most major destinations in Austin. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Brittani provided towels and even let us do a load of laundry which was awesome! Her two dogs are so cute and friendly, but stay tucked away in her room if you aren't a dog person. Brittani was super responsive through text and left us a key since she wasn't going to be home when we arrived. We parked our car on the side street for the night which wasn't a problem. This was the perfect place for us to stay on our road trip. "
5666575,34824773,2015-06-12,10512564,Isa,"Brittani was a lovely host & her dogs were adorable & very well behaved. The place was VERY clean, comfortable & spacious.  She was friendly and helpful and got back to me in a timely manner when I had questions. Definitely trying to book again next time I'm in Austin."
5666575,35009977,2015-06-14,32584502,Sophia,Brittani and mark were awesome!  They were so accommodating and really made an effort to make sure we were comfortable but at the same time we felt we had privacy.  We saw them in passing a couple times and they were so friendly and suggested things to do in the area.  Their place  was so nice and clean not to mention the bed was soooo comfortable! They provided clean towels also.  Their place is a great location to down town and all the fun spots in Austin just a short 5 dollar cab ride :) we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend staying with them! 
5666575,35730445,2015-06-21,10007682,Adrienne,"Brittani's home was in a wonderful location near SoCo, easy to find, and was in a fantastic neighborhood. Brittani made check-in easy, even though she wasn't going to be there that weekend. My boyfriend, dog, and I were all very comfortable and had a lovely time in Austin thanks to having a cozy home to which to return during the rain. Also, extra points for the spoonful of Blue Bell I got to sneak from her freezer ;)  I haven't had any in months since the recall!"
5666575,36330166,2015-06-27,28519330,John,"Brittani and Mark were very kind and conversational. The house was very clean. The AC failed during the day and Brittani got it fixed before we came home in the evening. Doors were loud, but the hosts were courteous about minimizing traffic in the hall. It is a shared bathroom, so consider that the hosts need to get ready for work in the morning. "
5666575,36491253,2015-06-28,9280952,Julian,Brittani's place was perfect.  Great bedroom and living space in a great location - walking distance to Soco and close enough to everything else.  She made arriving and leaving seamless and I would definitely stay here again.
5666575,37000199,2015-07-03,8027282,Maria,"My stay was only for one day & I arrived late. Brittani had sent very good instructions on how to check in. Mark was there and was very instrumental. The house is so closed to everywhere downtown, a very convenient location. Highly recommend the area."
5666575,37896510,2015-07-11,11274536,Nicolle,We had a lovely stay! The location is perfect for exploring Austin because everything's about a 10 minute drive away. Brittani is a sweetheart and super accommodating. I recommend her place if you're looking to visit Austin!
5666575,38355279,2015-07-14,35292576,Sebastien,"Brittani was super nice. The apartment was well laid out and cozy. The neighborhood seemed very nice, although more importantly it's a short uber/lift ride (5-8 dollars) into the city (Rainey st and 6th st)."
5666575,38756349,2015-07-18,36645602,David,"Brittani was a terrific host, pleasant. Very communicative leading up to my stay. And accommodating when I needed to check out a bit later than the standard time. Her house was clean. About a 15 minute walk to the action on South Congress. "
5666575,38903856,2015-07-19,8569180,Brendan,"Good location and priced right, I would stay in this apartment again. Photos are well done, they do not show the age of the apartment but that is irrelevant to me staying here.  Our trip was 1 day and only utilized the shower and bedroom which were more than adequate for our stay.

Pros: Very clean, clean towels, extra blankets for futon, easy to communicate, fast communication.

Cons: No shampoo (not sure if it is advertised or not), futon is not comfortable and would not sleep on (only sleeps 2, which is what was advertised)

"
5666575,39959389,2015-07-27,36086441,Aydin,"The place was comfortable. Sheets and towers were clean. The only disappointment was that she didnt welcomed us when we arrived the place... She texted the location of the key, instead of welcoming us, althought she was at home."
5666575,40223428,2015-07-29,22760363,Jess And Danny,"Brittani and Mark are absolutely incredible. We had an unfortunate incident happen the day we were supposed to leave and both Brittani and Mark went above and beyond the call of duty to help us out in any way they could. They are incredibly kind, generous and accommodating and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

The room was clean and well kept and the house is a short bus/uber ride/walk to anything you could need or want. We would definitely stay again."
5666575,41539862,2015-08-07,3714013,Bruce,"Brittani and Mark are a friendly couple. My stay was a 1st using Airbnb, and my overall experience was that they provided as described in listing. Clean and comfortable. Also highly convenient with it's location near many attractions, South Congress (SoCo), many restaurants, and much more. Thanks y'all   "
5666575,41763740,2015-08-09,34395063,HyoJin,Good. My father and I felt very comfortable. It is near to downtown! I recommand you.
5666575,49816269,2015-10-06,473293,Chris,"My stay at Brittani's was just as I'd hoped. Check-in was seamless, the place is as advertised and tough to beat that location in Austin. My room was comfortable, I slept easy and I had access to the bathroom when I needed it."
140651,550013,2011-09-20,918091,Robin,"Jason was an incredible host with a perfect home!  We were greeted with a six-pack of Shiner Bock, beautiful hand-soaps for each person, cool snacks, and the local papers. He also left us with a detailed list of spots for dining, shopping, the local liquor store, Austin favorites, and much more. 
The house was so cute and accommodating for our group of seven!  The beds were comfy and all the rooms were well decorated.  It was fantastic starting each morning with French Pressed Coffee!  We loved spending time in the family room listening to the insane vinyl collection!  The location was in my personal favorite area of Austin (South Congress) and was a short easy walk to everything.  
We are usually very picky about where we stay.  We are huge fans of the Ace hotel and several other hip boutique places.  I would highly recommend Jason's home especially if you are traveling with friends but want the feel of a warm, hip spot!
Thank you Jason for everything you did to make our stay incredible!  
"
140651,1001384,2012-03-15,671072,Scott,"Loved the house and our hosts! It was in the coolest part of town away from the convention center madness but close enough to bike or even walk. It is definitely where the hip locals hang out and not tourists. The area is also loaded with good places to eat & shop.

Jason was kind enough to put extra beds in so that all 9 of us could stay there.

The huge collection of LPs and turntables in the house was an added bonus that kept us up late every night.

We are definitely hoping we can return again next year!"
140651,1016029,2012-03-19,1498540,Ivan,"Jason was very helpful in all matters of the trip. From the planning to assisting in directions/locations to park for SXSW, Jason was always quick to answer questions and a joy to talk to. 

The house itself is welcoming and very spacious and is nestled in a neat area (wonderful neighborhood) near South Congress where food is just a quick walk away. "
140651,1057994,2012-03-29,524622,Bill,"Awesome location!!  We were able to walk to South Congress for eating and drinking etc.  6th Street is a short cab ride away.  The house is charming, everything was in great working order, including more record albums than you could play in 6 days.  I would stay again if the chance should arise.  The park is really nice with a running creek and  trail.  Jason was a great host, met all of our needs and then some."
140651,1264148,2012-05-11,2164895,Mario,Great tucked away house walking distance to S. Congress! Jason was a great host to my band and I. We enjoyed the eclectic selection of Vinyl and the peacefulness of the area.
140651,2538564,2012-10-08,3319193,Ben,"Our stay at Jason's house could not have been better. He was very informative about the house, the area, and everything else we asked of him. The record collection that everybody mentions really is no joke. I was anxious to see if it lived up to the hype and it definitely delivered. The area is also great....we took several walks to the South Congress area for food and drinks and it was a cheap cab ride downtown when we needed it. We didn't bother renting a car since everything was so accessible. We will hopefully be able to stay here again when we return to Austin.  "
140651,2627986,2012-10-16,828052,Storm,"Great house in a quiet SoCo neighborhood.  Jason also has an incredible vinyl collection, and a very well equipped kitchen.  A very accommodating and helpful host indeed."
140651,3684617,2013-03-04,4749529,Denise,"This was my first experience using Airbnb and this host and house set a very pleasant standard. The house is clean, maintained and well-stocked. The host is quite available without being intrusive and the house is in an ideal location. A perfect setup if you're looking for something spacious, accessible to the SoCo neighborhood and authentic to the colorful, relaxed Austin vibe."
140651,3830889,2013-03-19,1145615,Josie,"We had a fantastic stay at Jason's house in March 2013. We were 6 adults and 1 baby and most of our guests were in Austin for SXSW. The house was perfect for this as its really close to South Congress and an OK walk down the hill into town. About 30-40 minute walk to the Convention Center. I think everyone found it nice to escape downtown and come back to this calm area. Jason's house is in such a lovely neighbourhood with a great park close by and lots of nice residential streets to walk around when me and the baby were fighting our jet lag!  The house was clean and we loved the goodies that Jason left for us when we arrived. Even though it was quite hot outside for March, the house stayed cool and we didn't even need the AC.

Prior to our arrival Jason answered all my many questions really quickly and helpfully. He also took delivery of a baby mattress for us. Jason couldn't have been more helpful.  We borrowed their bikes and used their BBQ which was a great bonus too! 

Thanks Jason and hope we get to come back again!"
140651,3887448,2013-03-25,2394460,Steve,"Jason was very responsive and helpful with recommendations for things to do around town.  The location was great, easy walking distance to South Congress street.  The place worked out well for our group of 5."
140651,4255389,2013-04-22,5790239,Gretchen,My group had a blast in Austin! Jason was a dream to work with! He made the entire process seamless and was extremely responsive through the whole reservation and rental process When we arrived at the house we were pleasantly surprised to find an adorable goodie basket and any staples we would need like coffee and creamer. The house is in a perfect neighborhood within walking distance to South Congress and a short cab to downtown or Rainey street. I would definitely recommend staying here and hope to come back soon!
140651,8811367,2013-11-19,2612715,Julia,We were a big group of 12 friends for the F-1 weekend flying in from all all around the country and other countries. Had a great time there in Jason's place. It is walking distance to the main bar/food street in SoCa and a 10 dollar taxi ride from downtown (6th street). Great boot shop walking distance also. Jason is a great communicator. Everything is very easy in the house. There are enough space for parking and for sleeping and for conversations. The kitchen is fully equipped for a big party like us. Great experience! 
140651,9129599,2013-12-09,940679,Angela & Paul,"We came to Austin with our whole company because we are moving there.  We had 8 of us in the house and we fit very comfortably. Thank goodness for the open fireplace, because the temperature dropped to zero while we were there!  The location is brilliant.  It's close to a huge park and swimming pool as well as lots of shops and restaurants and Downtown. 
Jason is an excellent communicator and was very helpful with everything.  Also Turnkey did a great job of making things run smoothly when we wanted a cleaner mid-way through the reservation - we stayed 3 weeks!"
140651,10550012,2014-02-24,11942369,Lindsey," I would highly recommend this house to anybody planning a trip to Austin. I was there for my sister's bachelorette party and it accommodated all 10 of us! Thanks so much for letting us stay here!
"
140651,10935282,2014-03-14,7345984,Matthias,"It's been a pleasure staying there, great place - I would recommend it for SXSW every time. But then again, you're out of luck, because every time we go there we would most likely stay there ;)"
140651,21578463,2014-10-20,11938499,Colin,Loved how close it was to the downtown and SoCo. House accommodated 8 of us just perfectly. House was stocked with anything we didn't remember to get from the store. Record collection is no joke!  
140651,26647500,2015-02-16,336258,Vineet,"I enjoyed my stay. The house has a good location as a ~10 min walk to South Congress. It's a nice place. It has an eclectic decoration mix, which felt very Austin :). I'd book again. "
140651,28806586,2015-03-30,26135300,Gregg,"We really enjoyed staying here and Jason went out of his way to make us feel at home with a welcome basket.  The house is really nice, and the record collection made the weekend.

The house is in a great location and is only about a 10 minute walk from South Congress and about a 10 minute ride from downtown.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Austin."
776713,3779569,2013-03-14,4447842,Caroline,"Very comfortable, clean spacious house with a lot of charm. Quiet neighborhood less than 15 mins from downtown by car. Charlie was a great hostess...very accommodating to our schedule.

"
776713,4192838,2013-04-17,4955963,April,"A group of friends from various places converged in Austin using Charlies lovely abode for their girls weekend. A very extended long weekend at that. Someone was always at the piano or on the guitar. We sang and hung out together when not out on the town enjoying actual musicians perform. The massage therapist of the group brought her table and provided relaxation under the sun and gentle caressing of the breeze in the cozy backyard. The house is not far from the city, yet seemingly is in its own cozy world. When not engaged in activities, sunbathing by the river, walking the paths, eating gorgeous food and other Austin must dos, we rested comfortably in a place that felt like home. "
776713,7049327,2013-09-04,4478579,Thy,"Charlie's house was extremely accommodating. My first thought when I had arrived was that it was much more spacious than I had originally assumed. Also waking up in the morning and seeing how 'sunlight-filled' it really was is incredible. It really added to the entire ambiance.

We have a few musician's in the group, and I don't think there was a quiet moment in the house with so many instruments there. We all felt quite at home.

I would highly recommend Charlie's house to anyone as she was extremely accommodating and responsive. I'd hope to be able to stay again someday."
776713,7530678,2013-09-23,8760959,Tomasz,"Great house overall - it felt like home for few days we spent there with my wife and daughter. Conveniently located not far from the airport and city's center. We would not hesitate to stay here again! 
   "
776713,8090442,2013-10-15,8606566,Robert,Great comfortable home. 4 of us stayed with Charlie for the ACL fest and we all had more than enough room (could of comfortably fit 5 more people). Very cool decorated and not too far from downtown austin or south congress. 
776713,9965716,2014-01-21,11244723,Skyler,"Charlie was very kind, and her home was very, very spacious. Extra sheets were left on the couches-two of which are pull out beds, so there are 4 queen sized-beds total! Very easy access to other great spots in Austin. I would absolutely recommend this space."
776713,11322935,2014-03-30,1819884,Jerry,"Charlie's place was great! it had more than enough room for the four of us to stay.  The house was very clean and I wouldn't give it a second thought about staying again. 

The location was perfect for us. everything we wanted to go was only a short little drive.

Also, it was pretty nice having some records around to have some music going. pretty good selection, i might add. 

Overall, I would definitely love to stay here again next time I decide to head to Austin. "
776713,13165324,2014-05-20,2618301,Gunnar,This was a beautiful house with lots of space and country feel!  Great location with easy access to the main streets leading to downtown and nice quiet neighborhood.  This was a winner!!
776713,19568750,2014-09-14,1870232,Helen,Charlie was a welcoming host and always quick to respond to questions. The house was comfortable and a nice place to stay during our visit to Austin. 
776713,20055052,2014-09-22,21211613,Donald,"Charlie was very welcoming and easy to work with.  Her house was perfect for our family gathering in Austin,  convenient location to downtown and south Austin.    Lovely home with plenty of space. Thanks for letting use your home Charlie. "
776713,21198650,2014-10-13,18193928,Kathy,"This was our first time to Austin, and we were so grateful for Charlie's accommodations. The house was clean, exactly how it was described, and to top it off, were filled with things we all personally love: records, record players, books, a great back patio, and a comfortable space. Charlie kept in touch via text and even gave a wonderful recommendation to her masseuse.  The house was located in a great cool area just a convenient short drive to ACL, and great local restaurants.  We all really enjoyed our stay and will definitely get in touch with Charlie again next time we need a place to stay in Austin!"
776713,22294079,2014-11-03,345907,David,"Charlie was a lovely host, with very helpful with suggestions on where to go. Her place super well located. "
776713,24407398,2014-12-28,13928631,Stephen,"Charlie Faye made us feel very welcome.  She made her house and her music available.  She even gave us two of her CD's as a welcoming present.  She is a fantastic artist.  Her LP collection brought back many memories.
The Airbnb description of the house was very accurate.
The neighborhood was very pleasant.  Her driveway was huge.  It could have fit 4 cars.  There was also plenty of room to park on the street.  The house was private and the neighbors were not a problem.
The backyard was large and private. 
My family enjoyed the house, Austin, and the people of Texas. Everyone was extremely friendly.  We will be back.
Stephen Rhoads"
776713,25765729,2015-01-25,182158,Elizabeth,"I absolutely loved my stay at Charlie's and this is my second time here. It's a lot more spacious than described and this house is my number one choice when staying in Austin because of the location and the atmosphere. One thing that made me feel really welcome here was seeing the thank-you cards sprinkled around the house by other guests and it's really just a cozy feel overall. The listing description and photos do not do the house justice on what my experience actually was and it was perfect for my group for both stays because there were musical instruments around as well as a GREAT space to play board games (yes yes, we came all the way to Austin to play board games.. hehe). The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful and I actually really like the backyard which had a tranquil and rustic feel to it. 

In summary, Charlie is a great and easy host, the house is beautiful and spacious, and the distance is perfect to downtown Austin since we only had to drive 10 minutes to the hotspots and never had to deal with traffic. I recommend this location to all my friends who are looking for a place to stay in Austin. THANKS AGAIN, CHARLIE!!"
776713,26266258,2015-02-08,26575037,Ben,"I had a great experience staying at Charlie's house! Everything was clean and tidy, and the house/neighborhood is exactly as it appears online. Great location--nice and quiet area. Highly recommended!"
776713,33074274,2015-05-25,27969598,Wanda,"It’s an adorable, cozy little place, as you walk into the house; it’s rather roomy and has an openness as you can glance across the way thru the large windows in the rear of the house where you can see all the way through to the back yard.
Nostalgic and reminiscent as you see the old turntable with shelves of albums sitting above, the piano placed to the side in the back room and a display of an old typewriter.  
There were three bedrooms and which was perfect for accommodating our group size.  Overall, it was ideal and very relaxing while spending quality time with family.

Pros:  Bright, nice sofa, great wifi, good AC, Charlie is very accommodating, convenient location & close to shopping, spacious living area for spending time together.  Ideal for family quality time vs a hotel.

Cons:  No cable, insufficient amount of plates/bowls for our group (5), no dish sponge for washing dishes, not enough toilet paper, bathrooms garbage full upon arrival (not cleaned previously), toilet sluggish in master bedroom (but may have been due to the excessive rain storms in the Austin area).
"
776713,33668455,2015-05-31,30249783,Pete,"The house is comfortable, quiet and the beds comfortable. However the house lacked many necessities I would have expected. 

There was only a single roll of toilet paper in the house, so right after arriving had to walk a mile to the grocery store to purchase some. There was no dish soap, dishwasher detergent nor sponge to wash dishes. The listing said shampoo provided, so I assume the nearly empty bottle of shampoo and 1/2 used bar of soap in the shower was meant for guests?

I had the feeling that the owner did not have the time to properly prep the house for renting and left in a bit of a hurry."
776713,39097085,2015-07-20,1367131,Annalise,"This was my first Airbnb experience. I stayed here with my husband, our two-year-old and my sister. We loved it! Charlie made us feel right at home with a friendly note and was very easy to contact. She even gave us great recommendations for food, music and grocery locales. The house was just as described. The neighborhood was quiet and an easy drive to everywhere we wanted to go. I'd definitely recommend Charlie's house. It's a beautiful space full of character. We would stay here again."
776713,39789787,2015-07-26,5522270,Patrice,"Charlie's Recommendation

Charlie's home is warm and welcoming nestled in a family-friendly neighborhood. There are restaurants, grocery stores (Sprouts is a must), and service stations nearby. Prior to my trip to Austin, Charlie took time to recommend music venues/musicians. She was right-on! My next visit will be at  Charlie's place because nothing can beat a ""home away from home.""
"
776713,40951711,2015-08-03,5180394,Sarina,"Charlie's home is beautiful and charming, nestled in a cute family oriented area. The house has all the amenities needed for a five person family. The backyard is extremely intimate and private. Our family enjoyed staying in Charlie's home and we recommend you do too!'"
776713,41851508,2015-08-09,39749379,Katherine,"Staying at Charlie's house was a fantastic experience. As a first time AirBnB user, I could not have asked for anything better. Charlie's house was exactly as described, but maybe better. Her house and neighborhood were very welcoming and cozy. The retro feel and style of her house was electric and inspiring. Charlie was gracious enough to allow our large group the entire house (which was plenty big for 6 people). When in the house, we spent the majority of our time listening to her record collection or sitting in the sunroom or backyard patio. Charlie was also an excellent host, such that she responded quickly when asked questions and provided great local food suggestions. The only thing that could've made this experience a perfect 10 would have been more toilet paper, as we had a large female group. All in all, I would recommend Charlie's house to any friends or family looking for an awesome Austin experience!"
776713,49803945,2015-10-06,43109877,Kyle,"We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in Austin! There was plenty of space for us and the price was right. Charlie was very flexible with our schedule and allowed us to come drop off our stuff early. We were in Austin for ACL, and Charlie's place was a perfect home to come back to. The back patio with the cool lights was a huge bonus. Both beds were really comfortable, and there was plenty of extra space for more guests. Charlie also allowed us to receive a last minute package! Very bright welcoming home with plenty of perks. We decided this would be our house when we travel to Austin if Charlie would have us again! "
776713,50491225,2015-10-12,7573100,Kate,"Charlie's place was as cute as could be! As a first time air bnb user, I did not know exactly what to expect, but our big group of six had a marvelous time.  The house was plenty big and her back living room/space had the most amazing lighting - perfect for a good selfie ;) Her home was so welcoming and cozy that on our last day's stay (the Sunday of ACL), we spent more than half of the day there just hanging out.  Also, her beds were crazy comfortable!  All that to say, we highly recommend Charlie's place."
776713,51936651,2015-10-25,10572708,Srinika,"We had a lovely 2 night stay at Charlie's home during our girl's weekend in Austin.  It was perfect for the five of us - a relaxing home with plenty of space, lots of rooms, two full bathrooms (shower/basin/toilet), and beautiful furniture including a piano and several guitars.  We enjoyed listening to Charlie's vast vinyl collection from Edith Piaf to Jonny Cash.  Beds were comfortable, AC worked well, and plenty of hot water (although the hot water in both bathrooms are linked so this could be tricky if both are in use at exactly the same time).  I would definitely recommend this AirBnB:  stunning house with an authentic Austin-vibe, location that avoids the downtown traffic but easy to visit all areas by car, and Charlie was a great host with recommendations for live music and food.  Check-out the 'Soco district', Rainey St, visit Fredericksburg for wine-tasting, and try 'Takoba' for $1.5 mimosas with your Mexican food on weekends.  "
5637867,36495883,2015-06-28,12624066,Andre,We had a great stay! The room was clean and cozy. 
5637867,37269323,2015-07-05,21368081,Chris,"Great place for my last second trip plans. Quiet, cozy place as advertised. I had a little trouble with the lockbox, primarily closing it once opened, but this may be due to my own lack of handiness and I was in a rush to get on the road on when I left. Overall, exactly what you see on the site. Would recommend. "
5637867,37824947,2015-07-10,3870230,Michael,"Room was as advertised, clean, and very convenient.  Bed was really comfortable.  Thanks Astrum!"

5637867,40849151,2015-08-02,4350620,Nathalie,"The room was clean and cozy and the bed was comfortable. We came during the summer. Despite the crazy heat outside, the room stayed relatively cool with the fan running. We didn't get a chance to interact much with Astrum during our short stay in Austin. However, we can let you know that she responds to text messages/airbnb messages quickly which helped to coordinate our trip checkin and departure."
5637867,41274260,2015-08-05,11640200,Robert And Anitra,Astrum was a very gracious host and she has a very nice place in a great part of town. Definitely recommend if you're passing through Austin and need a place to stay. 
5637867,42502615,2015-08-13,40315233,Allison,"This was our first air bnb experience and it was a great one!  The room was exactly as advertised, very cozy with a comfortable bed.  It was nice to have our own bathroom as well.  Astrum was quick to respond to my inquiry about the room which was helpful because we were in a bind.  We did not get the pleasure of meeting Astrum but she did leave chocolates on the pillows for us upon arrival.  I would definitely stay here again if I'm ever passing through Austin another time! "
5637867,43179949,2015-08-17,11877365,Mary,Everything was fine.  The room temperature could have been a little cooler.
5637867,44017228,2015-08-23,1576131,Thienan,"Astrum was really nice and easy to communicate with...our room was exactly as described. While we never met face-to-face, I would definitely recommend this room for a friend to stay."
5637867,46182781,2015-09-08,41419819,Jocelyn,The cutest house in the cutest neighborhood in South Austin! I would definitely visit again.
5637867,49617553,2015-10-05,8228643,Ganda,"Room was as decribed. Private bath is clean and convenient. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Lock box is provided made it easy to check-in and check-out.  I would stay here again next time I visit Austin. 
"
5637867,50453419,2015-10-12,4014555,Ann,"The room was exactly as shown and the full private bath was wonderful - lots of privacy. We only saw Astrum once in our 3 night stay. She wasn't there when we arrived but the lock box with key was convenient and we were able to find our room without any trouble. The house was very nice and the neighborhood quite too. The bed was a little too soft for me but my husband liked it fine. It appeared the bathroom had not had a once over since the prior guest, but again, this was not really a problem."
40285,189826,2011-02-28,104846,Jessi,"Robbie's house is so unique and interesting, while her attention to detail as a host is impeccable. She left a printed welcome message with a few instructions and tips to help make our stay great. My husband wanted me to mention that he admired the well-curated film and book collection--so kudos on that; it takes a lot to impress him on that front. (:

With three lovely patios, it's hard to choose a favorite, but mine would have to be the rooftop area. What a relaxing place to sit and watch the sunrise/set. The house is minimally and beautifully decorated--if I were you, I might just leave the shoes at the front door if you're comfortable. It'll save any worry that you'll mar the carpets.

All members of our group just wanted to take the cloud-like beds home with us. Oh my goodness. We wasted Austin sightseeing time because we didn't want to climb out of bed. Everything was immaculately clean--towels, plenty of pillows, and even little travel toiletries were provided in case we needed them. Robbie was very responsive and friendly, and all in all knocked this first Airbnb stay completely out of the park! We loved it."
40285,200322,2011-03-16,271695,Marla,We rented the house out for our team to have a head quarters during SXSWi and we absolutely loved it!  The house is located in a quiet residential area far enough away from all the action that you are easily able to come and enjoy some down time on one of the many decks or even inside with how bright and relaxing it is.
40285,278062,2011-05-24,186932,Robin,"We found a gem! The house was absolutely beautiful, inside and out...far nicer than anything we could have imagined! Not only was it immaculate and well maintained, the hosts were very accommodating to our special requests. And the architecture and decor were so attractive, we were proud to have important guests come celebrate our daughter's graduation from law school with us. Thank you so much, Robbie, for providing a perfect backdrop for us to fondly remember such a significant occasion in our lives! "
40285,335726,2011-06-26,682614,Nathan,"This place is very comfortable with a striking and functional design. With two decks and a screened porch you can't go wrong. The location was great for access to Far West and close to Mopac for the rest of Austin. Around the corner you'll find Allen County Memorial Park for a picnic or walk, but even the neighborhood itself was well forested and shady.  Our hostess was very gracious and provided all the amenities one could want. It was a perfect and relaxing place to stay.  "
40285,550143,2011-09-20,897421,Dustin,"Perfect host and perfect place in Austin.  This was an amazing retreat after long work days at ACL.  Thanks to Robbie our stay was great.  The house is in impeccable shape, the beds are super soft and comfortable and the neighborhood is very quiet and clean."

40285,734830,2011-11-21,1329009,Elena,This is a gorgeous house. spotless and completely stocked. The neighborhood is beautiful with deer all over the place. We enjoyed our stay so much. Super recommended. Thanks Robbie for being such a wonderful host.
40285,1001532,2012-03-15,1510016,GiGi,"I'm so happy I decided to forgo the expense of hotels this year for SxSW and stay in this wonderful, private home. The house is impeccable and very comfortable and the home owner made wayfinding and acclimation to the home and the area that much easier. It really was the perfect respite from the overstimulation at SxSW. it's about a 10-15 minute drive from downtown, so much closer than we had anticipated. I just wish the weather had been better for us so we could enjoy the lovely outdoor patios at the house. "
40285,1017133,2012-03-19,1690474,Andrew,"This is a fantastic house and property in a great neighborhood.  Everything about it was as good or better than advertised.  We loved the design and layout; all of the amenities delivered. Working with the owner went smoothly; she was helpful and responsive.  Would recommend to anyone looking to stay outside of Austin.
"
40285,1045565,2012-03-26,1891140,Robin,"The house was wonderful.  It has great decks, plenty of living space, great beds and beautifully decorated.  It is perfect for spending some time outdoors (and indoors if necessary) in the heart of Austin.  Robbie was great and everything was as pictured and described.  Highly recommended and I look forward to staying again."
40285,1971854,2012-08-13,811137,Ricardo,"Robbie was a wonderful host, it was a call away to get help from her. The house is beautiful, very clean and comfortable, the neighborhood very safe and nice. Though outdoors were great, decks and patios, we had to spend much time indoors due to the heat, which was also nice, A/C and all. Bet our next stay in Austin will be at Robbie's."
40285,2627302,2012-10-16,1892781,Rich-DeLaGarza,"This an absolutely wonderful property very conveniently located just minutes from downtown. The house is absolutely spectacular with every amenity you could ask for or expect. The rooftop deck is an oasis and should be a destination itself. The neighborhood is quiet and close to restaurants and other shopping. I would highly recommend this property to any family or group of friends who need an escape, but desire all the comforts of a real home."
40285,2977279,2012-11-27,2471063,Patricia,"We had a wonderful experience! Robbie´s house is really nice, with everything you need  for a comfortable stay. The house is spacious and in very good shape. We loved the quiet  neighborhood, conveniently located relatively close to downtown Austin and UT. Robbie was a great and very responsive host . We definitely would love to come back again.
"
40285,3362669,2013-01-17,937530,Dustin,Stayed here for our second time.  The house is amazing.  Very comfortable and Robbie is accommodating and helpful.  Will definitely stay here again!
40285,3604057,2013-02-22,345932,Loren,"Beautiful space, lovely location ... wonderful!"
40285,3747262,2013-03-11,937530,Dustin,"Once again, Robbie's house was perfect for our stay in Austin.  Highly recommended! "
40285,3815581,2013-03-18,937530,Dustin,"Once again, Robbie's spot delivered.  Was a great respite to come home to after long work days.  Thanks again Robbie!"
40285,4360706,2013-04-30,5389524,Elizabeth & Kevin,"Loved your house! My husband and our daughter was so glad I chose a house instead of a hotel. So peaceful and quiet and, of course, a lot more spacious than getting 2 rooms in a hotel. We had never used air b&b before and husband had trepidations. The pictures justified the reality, actually better because we didn't expect that your neighborhood would be full of oak trees!  The location is convenient, no more than 15 minutes to places we wanted to see:  Zilker Park/Brandon Springs Pool, 10 mile scenic walk around Lady Bird Johnson Lake, South Congress, downtown, etc.  We ate great food & tried different wines at Winks (went 2 nights in a row) & Uchinko.   All the best, Elizabeth"
40285,8177975,2013-10-19,6784756,Fiona,"Robbie was an excellent host, great communication throughout, very helpful.

The guests had a lovely stay, apartment was great. 

The guests mentioned that there was no blinds in the room with the sofa bed, they said it would have been much better if the rooms had blinds, as one of the guests slept in this room."
40285,11050992,2014-03-18,937530,Dustin,Another 5 star stay at Robbie's beautiful home.  This makes 3 years in a row and I wouldn't change a thing.  Thanks!
40285,18758908,2014-08-31,8462527,Jermaine,"WOW!!!  Beautiful space, Lovely home, Great Host!  This was one of the most relaxing vacation homes I've ever been in.  I wouldn't change a thing.  My wife loved all the great reading material around the home.  I personally loved the downstairs space, because of the indoor/outdoor feel of it with the patio.  I will surely attempt to book Robbie's home for future visits to Austin.  "
40285,28311089,2015-03-22,937530,Dustin,Robbie's place gets better every year.  She keeps making little improvements that make it more lovely.  Thanks for being a great host!  Awesome house.
40285,50449760,2015-10-12,17263198,Jose,"This listing is just as advertised. Great home, great location, and a great host. "

7881350,44706973,2015-08-28,6983776,Richard,Kesten's place was quiet and well-appointed. My stay was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here!

2198635,14644249,2014-06-23,1683849,Robyn,"Adorable and comfortable space! We had 5 people stay the night and there was plenty of space. Everybody was impressed with the townhouse and we were sad to leave.

Barton was really easy to work with and even blew up the air mattress for us. The location was great. Nice quite neighborhood and only a few minutes drive to the Arboretum."
2198635,15295305,2014-07-06,12178090,Jonathan,"Lovely stay. 

Spent Fourth of July here with some friends and enjoyed every minute of it! 
The neighborhood is beautiful. Perfect for a run. 

Thanks Barton for allowing us to stay in your home. 
We felt welcomed and loved. 
"
2198635,15349111,2014-07-07,2687540,Adrian,  Barton was a great host with fast response time. There was more than enough space to accommodate the five of us. The place was easy to find and it was nice to have stores right around the corner. Thanks Barton we had a great time!!
2198635,16184061,2014-07-22,18262696,Jenna,Our stay at Barton's Northwest Hills duplex was great. He was punctual for check in and had the house clean and ready for us. Great open space and wonderful deck in the back. Highly recommended!
2198635,16485405,2014-07-28,4000379,Shannon,"Our group of 5 ladies had a great summer weekend stay in Barton's well appointed duplex in a hilly & tree-shaded neighborhood and I'd recommend Barton's place to anyone in the future. We really appreciated how tidy & organized it was, given that he actually lives there when he's not hosting.  The easy dropbox door key access and tasty local beers in the fridge were very nice touches. The location is very convenient to Mopac/Loop 1 so zipping south to downtown,  north to Domain/Arboretum, or east to the Burnet/Allandale/Rosedale area was easy. Groceries were available at HEB just a couple blocks away, and neat bakeries Kneaded Pleasures (on Far West) and Russell's (on Balcones) were within a short drive. A couple of notes to future guests.... The middle switch on the kitchen backsplash controls power to the dishwasher. The driveway is very steep downhill, so you may wish to park in the street to avoid bottoming out if your car is not high off the ground. If you're into active/outdoors activities, check out the Boardwalk Trail at Lady Bird Lake in downtown for amazing city views and a nice stroll over the water; go before 9a or after 7p to avoid the blazing summer heat; SUP, kayaks, and bikes are available for rental down there, too.  Thanks, Barton! We had a blast."
2198635,18374922,2014-08-25,20188912,Apurv,Nice place away from the hustle and still not far from downtown. The patio is awesome and place was reasonably clean. Barton's very responsive and everything was in place. Good decision to stay here!
2198635,18744831,2014-08-31,19252613,Alicha,"My girlfriends and I stayed at Barton's place for my bachelorette weekend and we loved it! Accessing the property was quick and easy, everything was in great order. Barton is an amazing host, he was very easy to contact, we loved the welcome note he left on the coffee table as well as the austin craft beers in the fridge. With six girls and one and a half bathrooms we were worried about the shower situation but were pleasantly surprised that there was more than enough hot water after several long showers. We looked forward to another girls trip and we would definitely stay here again! "
2198635,19123840,2014-09-07,16715685,Michelle & Blake,"Barton was very welcoming, complete with a welcome note and a nice cold Shiner Bock in the fridge!  We found the place clean, open, and very comfortable for me and my family.  My 6 yr old loved the bunk bed!  The deck was a nice treat for early morning coffee. We would defiantly book this property again in the future.

Place was easy to find, in a nice walkable neighborhood, close to everything!"
2198635,20847090,2014-10-06,7070203,Craig,"Barton's pad was awesome.  He has a lock box so not only could we arrive whenever we wanted to, we also never had to carry a key - which was great during ACL.  We had 4 people and it was super comfortable.  2 bathrooms was great.  He was always around via text with an answer - a great host."
2198635,21581435,2014-10-20,7992277,Ha,"Cute little duplex, great for a girls night out get away.  Very clean & felt like home. Also there's  a washer & dryer! 
Whole Foods, Sephora, Target, HEB was 10-15 min away.
If we ever visit atx we, will be back here. 
 
If you dont live in Austin, target & grocery stores does not priced you bags. You will need to bring your own or purchase theirs. 

"
2198635,22501820,2014-11-08,6717202,Alixandrea,Excellent place for a nights stay. We saw deer in the front yard here. Close to camp mabry... Not far from anything in Austin. 
2198635,23327890,2014-11-29,18680092,Beth,"Barton was a very good host.  He called me back right away and answered questions very cheerfully.  His home is lovely.  It was just as it appeared in the pictures.  I appreciated  how clean everything was and the abundance of clean towels.  I loved his bathroom.  Nice big sink with ample counter space.  
"
2198635,24680704,2015-01-01,25003698,Matthew,"Austin is a beautiful city with adventures waiting at every turn. As with any major city the biggest problem can be location and travel time. For once I did not have that issue. Barton's home was centrally located and not more than 10 minutes from every where we wanted to be. On a holiday like New Year's Eve where there is a definitive time limit, it made the trip with my fiancé smooth and stress free so we could focus on and enjoy what mattered."
2198635,26270957,2015-02-08,26736394,Donna,Barton was very quick to respond any questions I had.  He left a nice note and beer in the fridge. His home was very clean and absolutely beautiful. Me and my friends had a great stay!
2198635,28308986,2015-03-22,26769759,Reed,Wonderful location with just a short drive into the city. The duplex was an excellent reprieve from the craziness of SXSW. The deck and kitchen are both wonderful. Barton was very welcoming and also accommodating to our schedule. 
2198635,29795315,2015-04-12,20483070,Chuck,The place was very nice. Good location and awesome inside. Barton was very nice and professional. Very good experience.  
2198635,31810383,2015-05-10,23500372,Sean,"A few friends and I went into Austin for a race and rented out the place for the weekend. The place was amazing! The patio was nice and quaint and felt very spiritually calming Haha. The layout of the place was awesome and can accommodate a lot of people. 

The neighbors were so friendly and the neighborhood overall was just cool! 

Will be staying again the next time we are in Austin. "
2198635,33027704,2015-05-24,8993560,Salman,Easy check-in and out process and very nice place. We enjoyed our stay!
2198635,37260285,2015-07-05,13206569,Teresa,We really enjoyed our stay. Barton was out of town but he kept in touch with us and provided us with a phone number to call in case we needed anything. Everything we needed was readily available. His place was just as described and very clean.
2198635,38965637,2015-07-19,38689684,Solomon Tours,Staying at Barton's place was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful experience! I recommend it to everyone.
2198635,41544650,2015-08-07,33653290,Kayci,"Great location, view, & house.   Would definitely stay here again!  Barton was a great host who made us feel at home.  Would recommend to anyone."
2198635,46101155,2015-09-07,43354428,Nichole,We had a great time here! It was a great location just a cab ride away from downtown and located in a beautiful neighborhood with a peaceful balcony view overlooking a ravine. Owner was very nice and helpful.  He checked in to make sure we got there ok and was very responsive. I would definetely stay here again!  :)  Thank you for everything we had an amazing weekend in Austin!!
2198635,49564306,2015-10-04,45443418,Wendell,We stayed at Barton's place for ACL.  The location is great as it in between downtown and the domain area.  The house was great as was Barton's hospitality. I would definitely recommend staying here!
2198635,50453104,2015-10-12,8620612,Sarah,"My friends and I drove to Austin for the ACL festival. We stayed at Barton's lovely home. It was very spacious, homey, and extremely clean. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood which was great to escape the craziness of the festival but not too far from anywhere you want to go. It was perfect for us. Thank you Barton!"
2198635,51960358,2015-10-25,45181966,Alyssa,"Barton's home was very clean and spacious, it accommodated the 8 of us nicely and he had 2 twin sized air beds which came in handy. We all loved the deck and the view. Barton was very helpful and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. "
770997,3774188,2013-03-13,547027,Marcos,"Ruba's house is just perfect for you! She is the sweatest person in Austin and the room is clean and nice. Ruba's home is rigth beside the river, in a very good location. I spend 5 days in Austin and Ruba did everything she could for me (even giving me rides all over town!). 

You couldn't find a better host. "
770997,10918642,2014-03-13,7186824,Andrew,"the owner Rupa is super nice and super cool. She picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Great stuff and I wish her well. The picture of the pool and the place do not reveal the fact that all three windows look out on the parking and it's on the ground floor. We left the curtains pulled and did not feel very safe with windows open during the night; so it was basically like being in a basement. I found the listing very misleading. If you know that you are on the ground floor with only windows looking right at the parked cars in the parking lot then you know what you are getting into. You can walk across the parking lot to be at the pool listed there and so that is true. We paid a high price as it was SXSW; so it did not feel like a great deal. At the right price if you know what you are getting into then it probably feels better. I like Rupa, but thought people should know what they are getting into. "
770997,11006379,2014-03-17,4715248,Erik,Ruba was a great host - i would definitely recommend staying with her!
5615910,27865858,2015-03-13,2171168,Chris,"This home is located in a charming neighborhood in South Austin near South Congress, the main strip of restaurants and shops south of downtown. The area is filled with lovely homes and big trees and it's super convenient, whether walking to South Congress or Ubering downtown. Jenna's place is spacious, comfortable, and inviting, with an awesome yard to boot. Definitely had a great stay here and would recommend to my friends as well if they come to Austin.

"
669832,2926920,2012-11-20,3665486,Rom,I had a wonderful time with Jude and Gray last week-end. The house is located only 15 minutes walking distance from downtown (E. 6th Street). I was attending the US Formula 1 Grand Prix and the shuttle pick-up was only 4 blocks away... (very convenient). One of the best BBQ place in Austin is only 2 blocks away (Franklin BBQ is only open for lunch until sold out). You can also find a CVS a block away. The neighborhood is relatively quiet and the dogs are very friendly (make sure to lock the gate behind you). I'll definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to drop their bags and crash overnight after a long day traveling or visiting.
669832,3831360,2013-03-19,3258825,Jacob,"The Lair was a nice place to stay during SXSW.  Soaking in the tub after a long day was a big bonus. Spacious and quiet, a peaceful home.  Very close walk to Stubbs / Red River area, and not too far from downtown."

Highly recommended."

Spacious, comfortable, and private, with access to all the amenities of the larger house. Hosts were a delight and I felt at home from the day I arrived. 
Highly recommend!"
669832,19112507,2014-09-06,14248749,Christin,"Gray and his pups we're great hosts! The house is very eclectic and is very unique, especially the loft. It was cozy and beautiful! The bed was as comfortable as can be, the only downside is that the tub in the loft didn't have hot water either nights, we could only get it to about room temperature. The shower downstairs is perfect though! We will be staying again when we're back in Austin for sure.  "
669832,19315649,2014-09-10,14210678,Ben,"Our stay in Austin was made extra special from the hospitality of Gray. The house and space was exactly as described.

669832,21145028,2014-10-12,4479092,Joanna,"Jude was very friendly and accommodating in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay in Austin. Bedroom is unique and comfortable. Home location is good- cheap Uber rides to UT Austin, downtown, and Zilker Park. We had a great time!! "
669832,21487809,2014-10-18,19306306,Morton,"Welcome was warm

very nice people

669832,22069490,2014-10-29,2146793,Nandita,"Jude is one of the best hosts I have had! I was in and out all week at very odd times for Austin Film Festival, and she was incredibly accommodating of my hectic schedule. I only wish I could have run into her more often... definitely plan to stay again!"
669832,22290657,2014-11-03,18410643,Catherine,"Enjoyed our stay - the hosts were all very welcoming and helpful and the house and room were both comfortable.

This worked out perfectly for us."
669832,22692719,2014-11-12,231074,Amy,"I arrived hungry and in the dark in a heavy rainstorm. But, the room was so welcoming ... especially with the fantastic bath tub! The other guests explained the ropes and then it turned out that one was in town for the same event as me - instant friend! I met the hosts the next day and we were all fast friends. Jude and David are like old friends. They check on you and offer you snacks and drinks and rides and great conversation. I'm kind of sad being home now! And, Gracie the Dog is lovely to be around too. I'd stay here again for sure and am hoping to do so!"
669832,28069747,2015-03-17,9681851,Maryann,"came down for south by. I originally booked this is an affordable alternative to the hotels in downtown, but this turned out to be. a smart decision for many reasons: it was a welcome oasis from the SXSW crazy. 

my bed was comfy, I welcomed the in-room toilet, tub and sink, and lots of open space to revel in.

Jude, david and Gracie (the dog) were wonderful hosts, without being too bed-and-breakfasty and free coffee and food that I wild have taken advantage of it I'd had my wits more about me. :)

for foodies who are willing to wait, franklin's bbq is only a few blocks down the street. "
669832,28295360,2015-03-22,5148767,Marta,"We had a great stay! Jude was so welcoming and polite.

7948579,52008871,2015-10-25,46871162,邁,非常的乾淨，住家環境單純而且優雅，是在小山坡上。離Austin市區距離也不遠。非常推薦！
570180,3788994,2013-03-15,2580422,Heather And Karl,"Staying with Alexsandra was great in every way.
We were three colleagues who stayed for almost 10 days during SXSW. We each had our own room, using the luxury air mattress as a third bedroom. Everything was in place and in order when we arrived, as was a case of beers in the fridge. Much appreciated! The sheets were very comfortable, the two bathrooms were great. There is a back porch with a bbq and seating, for evening meals in the open.

Importantly, the location is excellent. Only a block away from South Congress, a great place for diners and restaurants. We rented bikes, which were great, only about 10-15mins (downhill) into downtown Austin, were all the events at SXSW was. About 20-25 mins going back up (depending on your condition and how much fun you had that night). Alternatively taxis are about 10 dollars.

Alexsandra kindly left a folder with an Austin guide and all nescessary information about the house, taxis etc. She was also very helpfull with any request, allthough we didn't want for anything. "
570180,3834889,2013-03-19,4914908,Stian,"We stayed with Alexandra during SXSW. The information before arrival was really good, and everything was perfect when we arrived late at night. There was even cold beers in the fridge! She had made a really nice guide for everything in the house and also really good tips for everything around the area

The house had two big bedrooms (one with private bath) and a office with a spacious luxury air mattress. The kitchen and living room areas were also big and comfortable. The house also had a big private backyard with a nice porch.

Our rental period was split in two and some people moved in and out halfway during SXSW. Alexandra stopped by and offered to drive the people leaving to the airport!

The area is really nice and convenient. There is a huge grocery store nearby and only a close walk to South Congress were you have awesome dining and shopping options.

I have no problems recommending staying with Alexandra. It was a perfect selection for 10 days at SXSW and will probably stay there if possible for my next Austin visit"
570180,21343999,2014-10-15,1509186,Carmela & Raymund,"Alex’s house was perfect for our group of 5 during our stay in Austin. It is walking distance to a good amount of restaurants and food trucks and a short drive away from many of Austin’s attractions (Barton Springs, 6th Street, Rainey Street, Mt. Bonnell etc.). Communication with Alex was seamless both before and during our stay. Definitely recommend her beautifully designed and well-appointed home!"
570180,28157846,2015-03-19,4586231,Robin,"Alex's house was perfect for our corporate group during SXSW. It was walking distance to a lot of shops, restaurants, etc and the house was clean and very pretty. It has everything you need! Alex was also extremely responsive if anything does come up during, before, or after your stay. "
2060277,11089880,2014-03-20,3236009,Tracy,"Kevin's home was modern yet comfortable and had incredible energy.  The location was super quiet yet so close to great restaurants like Uchi and Odd Duck and was just a quick drive to downtown.  The master bedroom was incredibly comfortable yet minimal, and the master bath was super luxurious.  Kevin was also a great host - he provided some snacks and drinks at my request and was fast to respond to any questions I had about the house.  Kevin's house was an incredible find in the midst of SXSW and was a respite from the hectic city. I would recommend Kevin's house to anyone looking for a cozy yet modern stay in Austin - during SXSW or anytime!"
2060277,28094145,2015-03-17,28247720,Jessica,"This was a great place to stay while in town for SXSW! Kevin was so helpful, stocked the house and fridge with necessities and has decorated this home beautifully. I would highly recommend. "
2060277,50615372,2015-10-13,21983197,Molly,"The house was exactly like the pictures… And better than we expected. we were a short ride toACL (Uber), and close to great restaurants and bars. Kevin went out of his way to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend staying here!"
7747837,44218200,2015-08-24,29240550,Collin,"My fiancée and I stayed here during a short trip to Austin to see the city, and we were very impressed.  This was one of our favourite places we have stayed in our travels. Mary was an excellent hostess; very accommodating and flexible; and very welcoming to us.  We were very happy that she made it a priority to try greeting us in person when we arrived, and when that did not work out (our travel plans became a little muddled and we arrived much later than we had hoped to) she was happy to work with us and still made it a point to meet us in person.  This kind of personableness and friendliness is what we love most about airbnb.   The room itself was excellent as well.  Very clean, and well furnished. Quite a cozy little room and very private, if you need that.  Easily as good as any hotel room we could have gotten (and better than many!) and at for the price, its a no-brainier to pick this place instead.  If you are looking for a place to stay in Austin for yourself and one other person, I highly recommend you book with Mary.  Because of the room set-up, I would especially recommend this to couples travelling (without kids) together. "

7747837,45165203,2015-08-31,24501,Alex And Maria,Host was very welcome and friendly. I was a little bit late from the Airport (flight delay) and did not have any problem with it. Location of the house is very convenient and near the Airport that was a huge advantage for early back flight in the morning.  
7747837,45437958,2015-09-02,42621827,Xinxin,"Mary is such a great host and both my friend and me enjoyed our stay at their home. The room is super nice and clean, and they even put a small lock box on the front porch for the keys for our convenience. I definitely will stay at their home if I ever visit Austin later. "
7747837,46789548,2015-09-13,42859188,Kylie,Super awesome private room! Mary was extremely accommodating and all the ammienties were great. We would definitely stay here again!
7747837,47093715,2015-09-15,42857555,Amber,Nice area and centrally located to most things. Only stayed 1 night but enjoyed it. 
7747837,47509654,2015-09-19,15317656,Desiree,Great location. Everything just as pictured and described. Will need a car or taxis to get around. Close to downtown. Host checked on me daily via text. Lockbox with key was the best which allowed me to check in and out as I needed too. Room was very clean and private. Bed was comfortable
7747837,48015117,2015-09-22,5228740,Douglas,"Lovely room! Everything I wanted it to be - great location, quiet neighborhood, privacy at a great price. Mary was an amazing host; communicating clearly and making sure I was comfortable during my entire stay. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a simple place to stay during their time in Austin. 5 out of 5!!"
7747837,48662031,2015-09-27,38046578,Thuy,"A great stay! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin.

Although we booked late the night before check in, Mary confirmed our reservation in less than 10 minutes. She was very prompt in responding to emails or texts, and made sure we were comfortable during our stay (even offering to help my fiance and I move the beds together). We enjoyed the cold water bottles that were left in our fridge. "
7747837,49137945,2015-10-01,13090708,Nancy,"Mary was so welcoming! We had never been to Texas before, so she gave us some great not-to-miss places to visit in the area. We got accurate directions to her house as well as directions to the lock box for the key. The accommodations were immaculate, quiet and secure. Internet access was spotty one day; after reporting it, it improved. "
7747837,49788056,2015-10-06,29712098,Steven,"Mary was an excellent host, always being available for assistance and giving us our privacy during our stay. Her house was located in a safe and beautiful neighorhood with plenty of parking. The room was exactly how it appeared in the photos and it was really well kept. The room was cozy which was really no problem as we were gone for a good part of the day. There are two small beds which Mary lets you push together if you're staying as a couple. This was an excellent location for us as it was not too far from Zilker Park and the Downtown area. Thank you for the great experience Mary, I will definitely look you up next time I am in Austin!"
7747837,50036720,2015-10-08,16833491,Kevan,"Mary's place was great. Very clean, cool unique set up. The lock box was helpful for coming and going as we pleased. Mary was wonderful with communication. The location was a short uber away from downtown and about fifteen min from the airport. Would definitely recommend staying here if you're going to Austin! Cheers."
7747837,50453138,2015-10-12,41102340,Daniel,"The room was clean and ready to use when we arrived, it shows that the owners take great care to make guests feel welcome, from the appearance and accessibility of the place to the little details that go the extra mile, such as water in the fridge, welcome note, fresh towels etc.

While we didn't spend much time with our hosts (we were out all day and only came in very late) Mary was very accommodating and helped us a great deal, from receiving packages we sent in advance to giving us directions around town.

The neighborhood was quiet and very safe, very conveniently located a few miles from downtown, the airport, malls, restaurants etc.

I would definitely love to stay there again should I ever be in town and I would recommend this to anyone staying in Austin.   "
7747837,50690562,2015-10-13,25966720,John,"awesome space! we were just looking for the basics -- we had an early flight out of austin the next morning and knew that if we were exploring the city, we'd be home late so wanted to have a little separation. totally clean when we got there and mary was awesome communicating with us since we booked the place! easy drive to the airport -- would definitely stay here again!"
7747837,50796857,2015-10-14,25604980,Donald,"Everything was exactly as it was pictured. Mary was extremely accommodating and very friendly. I didn't encounter any issues with my stay. Overall, I would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay on a budget."
7747837,50901449,2015-10-15,6533093,Minerva,"The room was perfect for my friend and I! Came with fridge, microwave and even wifi! Very quiet neighborhood and perfect space to relax after a day of exploring Austin. Perfectly located not too far away from downtown. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit Austin! "
7747837,51368306,2015-10-19,45482693,Ashley,"The listing was everything Mary described and MORE. The unit was clean and very relaxing in a nice, quiet neighborhood. I did not have the pleasure to meet with Mary since I was exploring the city but she was quick to respond to my messages and had wonderful suggestions as well. The room is very close to downtown Austin and there are also many grocery stores and restaurants 5-10 minutes away.  Next time I visit Austin I will stay here and have already recommended this unit to friends and family. "
7747837,51571582,2015-10-21,8207679,Cor,We had a great stay at Mary's place. We arrived early on a red eye and she let us store our luggage in her house because the room was not yet ready. The room is exactly as it is displayed. We were a couple so we ended up pushing the beds together. The price was GREAT for the amenities and location. We did not have a car and were able to Uber to South Congress and downtown for 15-20$. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to save money on lodging while enjoying Austin.
7747837,51631100,2015-10-22,12332719,Lisa,Great setup for a place to stay near the airport.  Space was clean and comfy.
7747837,51834708,2015-10-24,45025213,Amanda,This was my first stay in an airbnb and it couldn't have been better! Mary gave very clear instructions on how to get into the house. The room was very clean and even better in person than in the pictures. The neighborhood was very quiet and seemed safe. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Austin!
7747837,52053642,2015-10-26,21067060,Luis,Excellent host. Room is as exactly as portrayed in the listing. Mary is very kind and responsive. I highly recommend her as host.
7747837,52257307,2015-10-27,198545,Joyce,"Mary was very kind and helpful, answering all my questions promptly and patiently. Her place had warmth and comfort and I will definitely go back to stay at her place, if I have to visit Austin."
7747837,52527594,2015-10-30,8804379,Diego,"Excellent host! Mary made me feel very welcome, and she was always available to help out if I needed recommendations on things to do around Austin. Mary's house is in a very safe and convenient location, and the room is very comfortable. Would definitely stay again on a future trip and recommend this listing to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin. "
7747837,52910823,2015-11-02,24274061,Aaron,"Mary's place was exactly what I was looking for during my short stay in Austin. Room was clean and stocked with everything needed, she even went out of her way to stock a mini fridge with cold water. Neighborhood was quaint and quiet, but only about a 10 min drive to down town. Will absolutely be staying again!"
7747837,53008718,2015-11-03,9442520,Brittany,"Mary was excellent in communicating with me before, during, and after my trip. Her home is in a beautiful area of town, about a 10 minute uber ride from South Congress and about 15 minutes from downtown. The place is exactly as pictured, with a convenient separate entrance and its own bathroom. Mary provided us with two waters in the mini fridge, and there was also a microwave to heat up leftovers. For me and one other person, I would certainly recommend staying at Mary's again!"
7747837,53225379,2015-11-06,1717299,Cathy,"Exactly as described. Mary was extremely personable and helpful. I enjoyed being able to go in/out without having to worry about interrupting them. Bedroom, hall and bathroom all to myself with a private entrance. I work downtown and was able to get to my office within 20 minutes during rush hour. Very convenient. They had water waiting and fantastic artwork. Very comfortable bed with high quality sheets. I will visit again soon!  Thanks!"
5420650,28449031,2015-03-23,29292573,Gerrod,Ward was a great host aswell as his house. Everything was layed out for us house was real clean and nice real quiet neighborhood and stores are close by aswell downtown was only 10 minutes away. We had a great time and would stay at Ward's house again on our next trip to Austin!
5420650,33177063,2015-05-25,33394934,Andrea,Ward and his wife were very welcoming and were available at all times to answer questions. The home is located in a very nice neighborhood and just a short drive to downtown and the university. We were all very comfortable during our stay and it felt like a home away from home. Much better than staying in a hotel. Thank you! 
5420650,37363328,2015-07-06,35809978,Daniel,"The house was well kept and Ward made sure everything was available that we needed—right down to the espresso maker. He even went and got propane for the grill so that we could use it. Very spacious home. I was a little nervous about the air mattresses, but they were very high quality and no one had any issue sleeping on them. We slept 10 people in the house with absolutely no problem. Great backyard for grilling. I would definitely  recommend."
5420650,42079801,2015-08-10,40293532,Bob,Awesome place to stay when visiting Austin. Very big and clean!
5420650,46130723,2015-09-08,1156357,Amanda,"House and owners were awesome! Lots of places to sleep, in a good location in Austin (able to Uber everywhere), and house was comfortable. I stayed the weekend of my wedding and had all my bridesmaids stay with me. We ran out of toilet paper and I texted the owners and they had some delivered to the front door within the hour. I asked lots of questions (sorry!) and they were always answered promptly! "
5420650,49603804,2015-10-05,36240006,Nick,"Ward was a great host from the beginning. He communicated very well and was very responsive anytime we needed him. He made us feel welcome and at home.

The house was perfect for our group of 12 guys. It was very clean and comfortable. There were helpful labels and notes left around the house to make our experience even easier. We had no issues getting ubers from the house and downtown was a short 15 minute ride. I recommend torchys tacos right down the street if you are looking for something quick to eat near the house.

Overall no complaints. My experience with Ward and his house was very positive."
7743770,50648416,2015-10-13,20135292,Michael,"Dave is a very hospitable host. Friendly and open to talk about music and areas in Austin. The room is as expected, cozy, but not small. Bed is comfortable and handmade by Dave, headboard and all! It feels like an extension of the beautiful backyard."
7743770,52692009,2015-11-01,21888655,Doug,"Given the opportunity, we would've stayed here indefinitely. Dave - equal parts generous host, Austin historian, exceptional conversationalist, and all around great guy - made us feel welcome the moment we arrived until the second we left. The accommodations were beyond our expectations and Dave ensured we had everything we needed. 

The pictures and description of the room/house are spot on; yet, when you see this place in person, even the pictures don't do this place justice. Like the description says, the room/house has recently been refurbished and everything is brand new. Dave has a knack for choosing pieces of furniture that mesh well together, combining Austin charm/quirkiness with a clean aesthetic, that gives a warmth and lived-in vibe to the house. 

Not only does Dave have a great sense of aesthetic but he is also a creative craftsman having built the gorgeous headboard and deck pictured. One of the biggest draws for us in choosing to stay here was the back deck which has a spectacular view. There's nothing like waking up to the smell of brewing coffee, grabbing a cup of Joe and a good book, and unwinding on the deck at sunrise every morning (not to mention the great squirrel watching!). 

The neighborhood is also fantastic. It's tucked away on a quiet street lined with friendly neighbors and beautiful homes. Plus, it's only a 5-10 minute drive to a shopping center with a Torchy's Tacos (!), an enormous HEB grocery store, and coffee shops. With a car, it's a fairly quick 15 minute drive to downtown Austin depending on traffic. 

Staying at Dave's place was one of the best travel decisions we've ever made and made our transition to Austin all that much easier. As a former journalist and long-time local, Dave's depth of knowledge about the area and its history was extremely helpful and he was more than happy to answer all our questions, as well as pointing us to the true gems and not-for-tourist destinations for a truly authentic Austin experience. 

Dave practically gave us the run of the place; yet he never made us feel like we were imposing. In fact, we enjoyed spending mornings talking to Dave about the news and nights having a beer while watching a sports game. 

Whether you're planning on staying one night in Austin or an extended stay (like we did), this is absolutely the place for you! I'd recommend booking this place now while it's still available. Soon, you could be enjoying the gorgeous view from the back deck which my wife and I already miss!

6041921,52859076,2015-11-02,7811598,Jamil,"Great comfortable stay, unfortunately this unit had a leak on the ceiling with heavy rains during the first night of our stay, appreciate the prompt response and relocation to another home which did not have any issues! Would definitely book one of your properties again! Thanks! "
7804785,42998234,2015-08-16,41323136,Eva,"We would like to thank you so much for inviting us to your beautiful him.  It is better than even described, it is close to the river and downtown, tons of restaurants in walking distance.will definitely look to stay here again in the future.  Thanks Emily.  "

751847,13452404,2014-05-27,15740520,Soojin,"We had an amazing stay during the Memorial weekend. For a group of seven, having four bedrooms and two bathrooms was luxurious :)

The location was also perfect: close to Zilker Park, UT Austin and many good restaurants of Austin - Hop Doddy's, Din Hao and Taco Deli.

When we come back, I'll certainly stay here again. Thanks!"
751847,14527448,2014-06-21,16348711,Steve,"We loved our stay in this beautiful home.  It is furnished with high quality appliances and all kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath items needed to live very comfortably.

Amanda and Greg were quick with responses and very easy to work with.  I would definitely rent the home again.

(Tip for out-of-town guests: Austin has banned plastic bags and you have to purchase paper bags from the stores or bring your own.)"
751847,15375751,2014-07-07,17349146,Thu,"Amanda was a great host with quick responses. Her house is beautiful and clean. The neighborhood is quiet. The location was key for our trip (10-15 min to downtown, 25-30 min to lake Travis). Loved it!"
751847,16940325,2014-08-04,1772707,Natalie,Great house. We had an amazing time. Wonderful facilities! 
751847,18588354,2014-08-28,20217322,Chris,"Overall the house was fine.  Neighborhood is obviously a little bit on the older side.  There are many houses on the street that do their best in maintaining their charm and then you have some slum homes...  The house that has both a couch and love seat on the curb was an interesting touch.  These are some things the host can't control.  The house itself seems very dark...  The host has low energy bulbs throughout which are green friendly but offer little in terms of lighting.  A lot of animal hair throughout the property.  Anytime you open or close the blinds, a plethora of dog hair flies thru the air.  The back yard is unusable as the grass is dead but it is the middle of summer here in Austin and Texas is in a drought.  The kitchen was fantastic!  Entire house is updated with regards to appliances and we used the kitchen daily!  Hard to get a response from the host during the stay.  Emailed, texted, and left voicemails during the stay but they were never acknowledged.  No biggie, I'm sure the host was busy.  All in all in was a comfortable stay and I would definitely think of this property again if I needed one."
751847,19535401,2014-09-14,11049514,Michael,Very nice house and accurately described.  We really enjoyed our stay.  Thank you.
751847,19974088,2014-09-21,13166372,Stephanie,Our overall experience was great! It was a great location to get downtown and to our friends in North Austin. The accommodations were terrific and the decor was fantastic. It was easy to get wherever we needed.
751847,21544624,2014-10-19,15692730,Patricia,Our group of friends & family were in Austin for a weekend getaway to celebrate a friend’s bachelorette weekend. We chose this rental because it was central to all of the locations we would need easy access to. As soon as we all walked in we were absolutely wowed at how nice Amanda & Greg’s rental looked. The renovations they have made were lovely. The kitchen was gorgeous with all new sleek appliances and had all the items we needed in stock.  There was plenty of room for our group of 7. I would definitely recommend this rental to friends & family and look forward to our next stay!
751847,21830150,2014-10-25,16624695,Megan,The accommodations were even better than expected. One of our best AirBnb experiences thus far. Location was very convenient to the conference we attended.
751847,22279891,2014-11-02,23049086,Zain,"Amanda and Greg were excellent in communicating exactly what their property offered as well as their expectations. The welcome letter they send covers everything. As the welcome letter covers everything, the house is stocked will all the basic necessities and even some essentials that one could easily overlook (Loved the ear plugs for light sleepers!). 

My friends and I really enjoyed staying at their house and when coming in large groups, we would love to stay here again and again and again.... "
751847,28081311,2015-03-17,634391,Oleg,"Great stay, newly renovated house, great location with access to groceries, highways and all the stuff one would need. Would do it again!"
751847,28407868,2015-03-23,27951554,El General Paz,"The house is very comfortable and beautiful! We are very happy with our stay at Amanda & Greg´s house. 
The neighbourhood is very quiet and easy to go to Downtown. 
We do enjoy our stay, thank you very much!"
751847,32386734,2015-05-17,31859934,Lauren,Amanda and Greg's home was perfect for our group. There were plenty of beds and room for everyone to be comfortable.  The location was great (Hopdoddy right around the corner!) and every place we needed to go was within a 15 minute drive or less. It was a wonderful stay and I would definitely recommend this property to anyone else planning a trip to Austin.  
751847,40914030,2015-08-03,34222600,Nan,"We enjoyed our time in Austin and were happy with our stay at Greg and Amanda's property.  We had no issues and appreciated that the unit was clean and well maintained.  Greg responded quickly to the couple of questions we had on the day of our arrival.  This was our first AirBNB experience, and we will definitely be looking for others in the future.  Would highly recommend this property.  
"
751847,42903744,2015-08-16,38713121,Steven,Very thoughtful and nice house for my family vacation. All the details and small stuff make us felt great ! We have a great time there!!
751847,48555126,2015-09-27,29415730,Megan,This house was perfect for our group! It was exactly as pictured and Greg was more than helpful! 
751847,49326444,2015-10-03,34376301,Drew,The house was very well furnished.  Everything worked and we had a great stay.  The neighborhood was fantastic and quiet.  Located close to a lot of shopping & activities.
751847,50224949,2015-10-10,16720384,Doug,"Great place to stay! Clean, cozy, big, and easy to get to dt!"
6316787,33167141,2015-05-25,5187293,Abbie,Kristine was a great host. We had a snafu with being locked out and she came immediately and treated us to some (email hidden) nearby while we waited for a lock smith. We were the first group to stay at her new property and it was very nice. It has a HUGE kitchen where we spent most of our time. The property comfortably fit 4 adults. Also in a good location and walkable distances to restaurants. 
6316787,34376546,2015-06-07,34830528,Jared,The neighborhood was great - walking distance to food trailers on Cesar Chavez and bars and restaurants on E 6th. The house itself was very nice and seemed recently renovated.
6316787,35015774,2015-06-14,28714747,Holly,"Lovely place, thanks for everything! "
6316787,35601460,2015-06-20,35436067,Dustin,This house was a GREAT location. It was close to food trucks and downtown. It was very nice on the inside and great for having our two year old along for the ride. She was able to have her own room:) Lots of natural light and the kitchen and bath are wonderful. There were a few times we had questions and Kristine was quick to respond. We stayed for just under a week here. It would have been nice to have a useable yard during the stay but this wouldn't be a problem if your stay is short.
6316787,36120480,2015-06-25,14902571,Matt,Everything was very clean upon arrival and I feel like this place is brand new. The house was right in East Austin around some of the best bars in the area and very easy to walk to them. The beds are extremely comfortable which isn't found very often in Airbnb's. Vera Cruz tacos is right around the corner which offers some of the best breakfast tacos in Austin. You will definitely need a car to get to downtown which is only a 3-5 minute drive but might be tough in the hot Texas heat. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin.
6316787,36434068,2015-06-28,34803761,Philipp,"We had an incredible three day stay after two weeks of business in Austin. The house was spacious, clean, and accommodating. Kristine did a great job with rebuilding it. Thank you for letting us be your guests. "
6316787,37339712,2015-07-06,12589020,Lex & Carolyn,"Kristine's place suited our wishes perfectly. Ideal proximity and colorful neighborhood in walking distance to great food and libation. Very spacious home, recently renovated with modern amenities. Kristine was immediately responsive to our questions. Excellent value!"
6316787,39820346,2015-07-26,18041583,Cristina,"We came to Austin for a birthday weekend and this house was great! It was spacious, clean, updated and in a great location- close to many bars and restaurants and just a short drive to downtown. Kristine was always quick to respond and very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again. Thanks for having us, Kristine! "
6316787,40765557,2015-08-02,4591775,Henry,"Kristine and her house were AWESOME! The house is in a great location and easily accessible to all of Austin's hot spots.  Kristine stopped by for a quick service call early on in our stay and was warm and friendly.  Great place, great host!  I strongly recommend a stay at this modern east Austin gem!

Hank"
6316787,42055261,2015-08-10,35643666,Chris,"She essentially gave my friends and myself free reign of the house. The home was cozy with lots of open area. The beds were soft and easy to sleep on. The house is only one mile from downtown Austin which was incredibly convenient for us. Hop onto East Cezar Chavez and you'll be in downtown Austin in less than five minutes by car.

The neighborhood is a little run down, but don't let that keep your attention because the house is nice on the inside. The house is right on the street, so the biggest downfall to the area is that throughout the night, cars will drive down the road with the base maxed out and wake up people sleeping in the room closest to the street. "
6316787,43005162,2015-08-16,21418552,Ben,We had an awesome time staying at this listing. The close location to nightlife as well as the spacious interior made the weekend perfect. Kristine responded promptly to every question I had. Thanks for letting us stay!
6316787,44047524,2015-08-23,25705820,Thomas,Easy and accessible location with a great layout. Kristine's house comfortably housed the three of us and she promptly replied to my questions. Great stay on the east side! 
6316787,46162579,2015-09-08,31743068,Catherine,"We loved staying at Kristine's house! It was as lovely as the photos. Really clean, great big bathroom and kitchen, comfortable beds and couch. The area was really great too. Lots of good bars in the neighborhood including Weather Up next door. Kristine was very responsive on text. We will definitely stay again! :)"
6316787,48687781,2015-09-28,19483931,Raman,Kristine's place is simple but has everything you need for a good time in Austin. It's very convenient (we hardly spent over $10 on any uber trip) and the air con is great on hot days and nights. Hope I can stay again!
6316787,49208483,2015-10-02,20435326,Jon,Very nice place close to lots of authentic Austin bars and restaurants and within 10 minute drive of everything you would want to do in Austin.
6316787,50269287,2015-10-11,34773988,Brittany,The description was very accurate and a wonderful location. 
6316787,51429192,2015-10-20,37849047,Aaron,"What a great little house! It was a great location - walking distance to shops & food, easy freeway access, close to downtown. The kitchen was fantastic with a nice big island & stocked with pots, pans, dishes (though no cooking staples). The bedrooms were nice & spacious with nice linens & ceiling fans. And the bathroom was nice & big with a huge shower! We stayed here with our one-year-old daughter & it was such a nice space. The owner was quick to respond to any questions."
6316787,51891514,2015-10-25,316523,Brendan,We had a lovely time in Kristine's apartment.  It was a nice size for a  group of three of us and was very comfortable.  The location is really terrific -- convenient to all of downtown Austin and within walking distance of many cool East Austin bars and restaurants.
8186242,50384090,2015-10-11,44868725,Sanu,Overall we had a great stay during our Austin trip! The place had a very cosy feel to it and it fits 2 people very comfortably. The hammock and the outdoor door lighting is definitely a plus. Jenny and Carter are great hosts that made us feel very welcome. Our only regret is that we didn't get to spend time with them during our stay. Would definitely recommend. Location: 6/10 Price: 7/10 Shared room: 8/10 Facilities: 8/10
8186242,51002812,2015-10-16,31916601,May,It was a very wonderful stay at Jenny and Carter's home. It was quiet with a private access to my room. Everything is exactly as described. I feel very much at home being there. Highly recommended!
8186242,52301152,2015-10-27,602030,Lana,"Staying here marks my first negative experience using Airbnb. I have been using Airbnb for three years now, and my experiences with hosts have always been positive and pleasant. Upon our arrival, we knocked at the front door, not knowing that Carter had emailed us the access code for private entrance to the room in the backyard. Carter seemed to be bothered by our arrival and took roughly a minute to guide us to the entrance in the backyard, and did not engage in conversation.  Small talk and a welcome would have put us at ease and would have made it less awkward.  When the door opens to the room, the first thing that hits you is a bizarre odour which was quite musty, and was present during our entire stay (2 nights). The path leading to the private room was muddy, not well lit, and overgrown.  This was magnified when it rained and at night. The only positive thing about this experience was that the room itself is spacious and had everything described in the ad - a TV, desk, comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, and clean bathroom. I would not recommend that you stay here, unless you know what to expect in terms of hospitality.  There was no information in the room regarding nearby amenities (grocery stores, restaurants, bus stations, etc.) or check-out procedures.  Given this and that we had not heard anything from the host since we arrived, we had no idea what to do at the end of our stay so we tidied up, gathered our stuff, and left!"

5682215,31580176,2015-05-07,15103773,Mahima,"Pauline is a delight! Gracious and very knowledgeable about Austin. She welcomed me into her house and has made it feel like home instead of just a visit. 

Pauline has given me many ideas for things to do as well as invited me to join her for dance, yoga which I very much appreciate. 

The room is lovely, specious and has lots of light! Nice neighborhood. 

Beyond my stay, I hope to "
5682215,37383814,2015-07-06,27057692,Jessica,Pauline was a wonderful host! She had all answers to our questions for first time visitors to Austin and she even offered her personal bikes for us to use. Overall a fantastic trip and a wonderful host!
5682215,38333453,2015-07-14,37139376,Jeff,"Pauline was an excellent host, and the listing was exactly as described. She was extremely kind and thoughtful, making helpful suggestions for things to do while in Austin.  I enjoyed our conversations a lot, and was so glad to have such a kind Airbnb host.  The neighborhood was nice and quiet, but was also a quick bike ride to S. Congress where there was a lot going on.  Pauline was accommodating when I needed to check in early and stay later in the afternoon. Thanks Pauline!"
5682215,38510256,2015-07-16,22021319,Christopher,"I stayed at Pauline's home for two nights and had a great time! Pauline was very nice and accommodating, she made me feel very comfortable in her home and offered great tips on what to do in Austin. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Furthermore, it's in a great location to explore Austin with close bus routes to downtown nearby. "
5682215,39107868,2015-07-20,36971023,Michael,"The room and house was great. Pauline was very helpful! She was patient with our booking and gave some great recommendations for stuff for us to do. 
Would stay at her home again. "
5682215,40182776,2015-07-28,38251079,Yuan,"Pauline's home is one of the best Airbnb homes I've stayed during my recent 20-day road trip. The house and our room were super clean and nice. My friend and me arrived after midnight and were starving, and she offered eggs and fruit so that we didn't have to go out to eat. I also respect the fact that she is mindful of the environment and tries to conserve energy and resources by advising us to turn up the thermometer when leaving the house, and to try not to stay too long in the shower as there was a drought in austin (the ground in front of her house was all dry and cracked.) The neighborhood felt safe, and close to the south congress ave (SoCo) which is among the top tourist destinations of austin.  Pauline also made suggestions as to where to go -- I went to Barton Springs pool upon her advice and had a good time.  Would definitely stay again. "
5682215,41047100,2015-08-03,40135474,Elise,"Pauline was very laid back and easy going. We had a great stay in the bird room, which was a good size for 2 of us. Would definitely recommend staying at Pauline's. A great location, and a great lady! "
5682215,41449343,2015-08-07,15322507,Steven,"Pauline was an excellent host and we had some great conversations. The room I stayed in was very cozy, quiet and dark at night so it was easy to get a good night's sleep. Pauline is very friendly and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her place to anybody!"

The house was clean and conveniently located, and I would certainly recommend staying here!"
5682215,42553882,2015-08-14,18570509,Sarah,"This is a great and economical place to stay if you are visiting Austin.  The location is great.  The bed is extremely comfortable.  Pauline was very kind and I enjoyed talking with her.  Keep in mind that you may be sharing the residence with other Airbnb'ers, which I actually thought was fun.  I hope to stay again."
5682215,44360853,2015-08-25,40999294,Supriti,"Pauline house is really close to the SoCo, which is one of the best hangout streets in Austin, very close to the congress bridge which has the bats flying just at sunset.
The room was clean and in a good condition, so are the other facilities .  All the other guests maintain a good friendly and respectable code of conduct. 
Pauline herself is a great host - we barely could sit and have a nice long conversation with her, but whatever little time we spent with her, it was really nice :)"
5682215,45618861,2015-09-04,40891273,Pranav,"Pauline was a very kind and hospitable host. She tried her best to make my first few days in Austin as smooth as possible. From lending me her bike to giving me local advice and putting me in touch with people for more information, Pauline was extremely helpful. Thanks a lot Pauline!"

The bed was very comfortable and off street parking was available.  Great tips on what to do around town.  I would definitely stay here again. "
5682215,47897022,2015-09-21,36485872,Wes,My stay was great! The room was private and comfortable. Pauline was very welcoming.
5682215,48549475,2015-09-27,3620655,Dede,"Our stay with Pauline was pleasant although we were mainly there just to sleep as had so many things we were doing in the Austin area.  We did have one evening where we sat and chatted with Pauline and another Airbnb guest, which was quite enjoyable.

We loved the location.  It's in an older neighborhood but very close to the SoCo district which is where we spent quite a bit of our time.  A number of good restaurant choices nearby and easy access to I-35.

Pauline shared all kinds of information with us about things to see and do in the Austin area and even suggested things we hadn't considered or didn't know anything about.

We would definitely consider staying here again if back in the Austin area."
5682215,49794670,2015-10-06,3200269,Rodrigo Y Lister,"House Pauline's is very nice, clean, spacious, and the neighborhood is super quiet. The ""Tacos de Barbacoa"" of Oltorf St , they are delicious. 
(Food Truck)
The neighborhood is very safe, and with excellent environment...Pauline is excellent hostess, he was always on the lookout for what they need.Pauline is wonderful and your House also."
5682215,50250405,2015-10-10,31937396,Matt,Pauline made me feel welcomed in her home.  The location was perfect for me and my business trip.  It was close to Austin's funky southtown.

The staff I dealt with were professional and courteous and happily accommodated us turning up a day earlier - which made things a lot easier for us. Comfortable and secure - a really easy experience. Thanks!"
5260213,30863153,2015-04-28,27693416,Cassandra,"LOCATION was perfect for where our event was being held (Palmer Event center). The keypad made it super easy to gain entrance to the house upon arrival and lock up when we were leaving. The beds were cozy, and the linens were clean & comfortable (plenty of towels!!!). The size of the house was perfect, but the fact that there were 3 BR's and only 1 full bath proved to be challenging for us. No big deal though! Two days into our stay, we couldn't find Toilet Paper or Trash Bags anywhere!?!? this seemed a little bit odd. But overall, our stay was A+!"
5260213,33845388,2015-06-01,3074887,Michael,"Perfect Austin experience. 
Lovely and rich interior. 
Friendly and professional communication. 
10/10: Will stay at a Turnkey airbnb property again!"

5260213,51898794,2015-10-25,16311318,Ingrid,"We were three colleagues visiting Austin for a medical conference. We loved our stay in this super little house which was practical and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, -clean and cosy. We found the house is in a very good location with everything practically within walking distance, even our congress at JW Marriott (we like to move:-). Super running tracks and the unique and beautiful Barton Spring pool nearby. We love the neighbourhood, and Austin at all.
Very convenient with the code key system. When we arrived it was totally dark so a lit light above the entrance would have been nice. We would also recommend to tidy up a bit outside, otherwise everything was perfect! "
330301,1008102,2012-03-17,1632668,Merlin,"I think Janet was the ultimate hostess. She was super nice and accommodating! On the very first day she offered to pick me up from the conference center upon registering for South By Interactive. 

We went out for dinner, and met some of her friends. Later we went to a swanky bar in Austin which I thought was very cool. The house itself was very nice, comfortable space, spacious, high ceilings, and well kept place. I had the entire upstairs of the house to myself. Which included a large bedroom, comfortable queen bed, private full bath, living room, and meditation/entertainment room! Really who could ask for more. I also had access to a large kitchen, main living room, and washer/dryer on the main floor. Even though I spent most of my time at the conference it was nice to be staying in such a beautiful home, and feel very welcomed. I felt very fortunate to come across such a great place right before the event with an really an awesome host. The only downside is that the metro which takes you into downtown Austin is a little further then I expected, and the prices for taxis are bit high for South By which I was not aware of. Yet Janet was very accommodating with rides to the bus, back to the house, and to the Apple store when I had to replace my stolen cell phone. So I would recommend a rental in the future which I wanted to avoid to not have to deal with parking, and save a little.     

Overall an awesome first Airbnb experience! The house was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable. Janet made me feel very welcomed, is super nice, accommodating, and easy to reach if needed. I made a new friend with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet, and her place. Janet thanks for everything!  

~Merlin "
330301,1010740,2012-03-17,1910652,Christina,"Janet was our hero that night.  You see, our other AirBnB host had a death in the family the day we were arriving and understandably had to cancel. After four hours of calling hotels (all booked for SXSW) and looking for a place to stay, Janet came thru for us!  Location is easy to find and the upstairs ""all to yourself"" was nice."
330301,1076240,2012-04-02,440397,Charlotte,"My husband and I were traveling to Austin to see out daughter.  All the reasonably priced hotel rooms were booked for for the Texas Relays and an event at the Capitol..  We'd stayed at an Airbnb home last year and had a good experience.  Janet povided us this year with a roomy and comfortable upstairs bedroom, large bathroom and separate sitting room with a TV,  comfy sofa, 2 recliners, desk and computer there also--the entire upstairs of her lovely home.  She was attentive to our needs and schedule and welcomed us warmly.  We had a great time at her home."
330301,1287550,2012-05-15,480829,Andy,"Janet has a beautiful house, and she is a wonderful host. She invited me to participate in an Italian Cooking class that was being hosted at her house which was a wonderful surprise. I highly recommend her place."
330301,1292794,2012-05-16,480829,Andy,As always Janet's house is THE place to stay in Austin.

330301,1477209,2012-06-13,2571575,Daphne,"Janet is a wonderful hostess.  With very little advanced notice, she was able to accommodate us, and made us feel welcomed.  The ""entire upstairs"" (including the bed) is clean and comfortable. (very ""homey""). I would definitely stay with her anytime we go to Austin, and would highly recommend her place."
330301,1492272,2012-06-16,2442937,Ms.,"My husband had a medical conference to attend, and I went along. We had a very pleasant stay at Janet's -- we were very comfortable and had all the privacy my husband insists on. Janet has a beautiful home under the oaks. She was very kind and accommodating when we arrived later than planned. "
330301,1618234,2012-07-02,2776020,Jesse,This place is absolutely perfect. An entire upstairs of privacy to yourself. Janet is nice as can be. I definitely will be staying here again on my next trip down to Austin. Highly recommend. :)
330301,2128138,2012-08-28,329973,Emili,"Janet's place is accurately described in her listing. The house is in a nice, safe, quiet  area, a great area to walk, run, or bike. The upstairs is quite large, and the numerous rooms and two bathrooms make it seem even larger. The bed was comfortable.  We never met Janet, (although she left a phone message and was available if we needed her), but were thrilled to meet her two little dogs and their four newborn puppies!  We enjoyed our stay at Janet's and would recommend her place to others staying in the northwest suburbs of Austin. "
4045466,20482870,2014-09-29,931531,Chris,"Lindsey was a fantastic host. Her apartment was spotless and felt like home. She was extremely accomodating. My party and I arrived in the middle of the night, but she helped us find parking and made sure we were settled. I couldn't have asked for a better host."
4045466,20887568,2014-10-06,6110928,Rachel,Wonderful place to stay right on the waterfront in Austin!  Lindsey was very welcoming and helped make me feel at home during my short stay.  Would love to return when I have more time in the area!!
4045466,21687608,2014-10-21,8442350,Maighread,Lindsey welcomed us with open arms and shared her beautiful home.  Breakfast was provided and went beyond our expectations.  The apartment is spotless and a perfect stop off for visiting Austin.   I would love to return.  Lindsey responded quickly to inquiries and was extremely helpful and a joy to be around.  
4045466,22064855,2014-10-29,2798194,Elijah,Lindsey was a fabulous host.  She met us at the door and took us to her apartment.  She really has a beautiful place.  The balcony off of the living room looks right out onto the river.  It is very pleasant and peaceful.  Her place was impeccably clean.  The building has a full gym with dumbells up to 75lbs and some nice machines.  It also has beautiful swimming pool.  The location is great.  Just across the river from all of the awesome restaurants on the eastside and a very short ride to core of South Congress and Barton Springs.  Also right on the river trail which is constantly full of runners and cyclists.  We would definitely stay there again.
4045466,22874066,2014-11-16,21966049,Ted,Lindsey was quick to respond to my reservation request.  Her apartment was very clean and comfortable.  It is closely located to the bike path into downtown Austin.  
4045466,23334881,2014-11-29,1401388,Gretchen,"Lindsay was more than welcoming - warm and gracious. I'd rented the room for my parents to stay while visiting. Her building, the Riverview, is perched right on I35, but you can exit out the back directly to the path to the river, and there's a view of the river just out her living room window - it feels, from inside, far more bucolic than it would look if you were checking out a map online. My parents slept well, and felt completely welcome. She even went out and bought a coffee machine because the coffee machine in the lobby, which my father had been so excited about, wasn't working - and she texted me ideas of fun things to do in Austin with my kids! I couldn't recommend this airbnb more highly. "
4045466,23573718,2014-12-05,4818337,Werner,"Wonderful place. Overlooking Lady Bird Lake and close to downtown. Parking was available inside the building. It was cool, so we didn't use the pool, but it looked great for when the weather is hot. There is also an exercise room with new equipment.  The building is new and right on the running path. Two hawks came very close to the balcony. 

Lindsey was a great host and very unobtrusive. We practically had the place to ourselves. We would definitely go back there if we are in Austin."
4045466,25085918,2015-01-06,3754544,Erin,"The apartment was gorgeous, comfortable and so well located. Just 5 minutes to downtown. We had a rental car that we parked in the visitor lot and got to see so much of Austin. Lindsey is incredibly friendly and generous. We made ourselves coffee every morning and she had almond milk for us in the fridge. We also watched Netflix in the living room when we had a few down hours between going out and seeing the city. The bedroom was roomy with a huge closet for all of our stuff during our five day stay. The bathroom was very nice as well with wonderfully fluffy towels. The apartment also has a lovely view of the water. I would love to stay here again and use the gorgeous pool when it's warm outside."
4045466,25727463,2015-01-24,267216,Jimmy And Annabel,"Exactly as it appears in pics. Perfect for a runner. Linsey is my daughter from another mother &  very accomodating, great host. Spotless. Fabulous view. Very secure. Easy easy access to everything downtownish. Would love to stay here again!"
4045466,26622069,2015-02-16,5607000,Erin,"Lindsey's apartment is just amazing! The pictures and description from the listing are spot on. It's spacious, it's clean, it's beautifully decorated, it's quiet, it's in a great location - just perfect! This is definitely one of my best airbnb experiences, and it's most certainly the best ""private room"" airbnb stay I've had. Lindsey was an excellent host. She was friendly, informative, and generous. I would highly recommend staying here if you're visiting the Austin area. "
4045466,27350922,2015-03-02,27606840,Don,"Lindsey's sweet apartment was just as described. Comfortable, warm in some cooler weather and right on the lake and bike path. We were able to walk West and cross the bridge into downtown Austin to 6th Street. Took about 40 minutes to get there but a lovely walk along the waterfront. Wish we had caught some warmer weather but it was a really nice place to spend a couple of days."
4045466,27548436,2015-03-07,27354962,Ditra,I had a great stay with Lindsey! She is very welcoming and the space is lovely with easy access to everything. I travel so much for work having place to come to thats not a hotel is awesome.
4045466,27683524,2015-03-09,11334142,Miriam,"Lindsey's apartment was perfect for our trip to Austin.  The room and bathroom were both immaculately clean and perfect for me and my fiance.  We particularly liked the lovely view of the river out of our bedroom window.  The bed was comfortable.  The windows opened easily to allow in fresh air, weather permitting.

The Riverwalk was undoubtedly our favorite part of Lindsey's apartment.  We love exploring new cities on foot - our favorite day in Austin was when we simply walked outside, hopped on the tree-lined trail, and eventually found ourselves downtown! We loved the convenience that her apartment afforded us, both in walking and in driving (her place is right off the I-35).

I would highly recommend Lindsey and her apartment to any traveling couple or single.  Lindsey is an excellent host on top of having a beautiful place. We hope that we'll be able to stay with her again the next time we visit Austin."
4045466,27827584,2015-03-13,2798697,Erin,"This is a great spot, right on the river, 30 minute walk into downtown, beautiful building, clean and cozy apartment. Also, Lindsey is the absolute best hostess I could imagine! Can't wait to come back. Thank you Lindsey :)"
4045466,27901564,2015-03-14,6237499,Jose,"Lindsey was a fantastic host! She was very welcoming and a great communicator - we were able to arrange a mutually convenient time to pick up the key and get into the apartment. She helpfully suggested some places to explore, but gave us as much space as we needed. An in-unit washer and dryer were also a nice surprise, seeing as we had been driving across the country for a few days.

The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The apartment itself was in the ideal location, just a short drive to some of Austin's best bars and eateries. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend it!"

4045466,29502965,2015-04-08,28654928,Julia & Dave,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and it couldn't have gone better! We loved the space and felt right at home -- well, a cleaner, fancier, more luxurious home, that is! Lindsey has a great space that is so comfortable and accessible to everything the city has to offer. The living room looks over the lake and you can see the Austin skyline. We felt like we were staying with a friend because Lindsey was so warm and welcoming. We also felt like we had our own space and privacy, so it was a great balance. It was like staying in a hotel! Thank you, Lindsey!"
4045466,29629812,2015-04-10,8181602,Samantha,"Lindsay's place is AWESOME! Beautiful, comfortable, centrally located, and equipped with all the amenities one could ask for. And on top of that, she's a lovely, charming and helpful host. Would definitely stay here again!"
4045466,29688684,2015-04-11,840291,Sarah,"really appreciate lindsey letting us stay for the night. place kept very neat and clean. good location with a walk that leads straight out towards the water. great view. close to everything. comfy bed, clean sheets. we were gone for most of the time, but no big issues (no shampoo, but we could have packed that and we got home pretty late so didn't want to wake her). overall good experience, accommodating host. would stay again if she'd have us. "
4045466,29833863,2015-04-13,28247698,David Denise,"Lindsey was a great host.  Condo was nice and clean and a great location.  Would definitely stay here again.

David & Denise"
4045466,30398530,2015-04-21,29447438,Kate,Lindsey was a wonderful host!  She was very welcoming and accommodating to us during our visit. Her apartment is beautiful with amazing views of Town Lake.  Parking was easy and convenient. The complex is centrally located to downtown.  I would absolutely recommend Lindsey's apartment for your stay in Austin.  
4045466,31328221,2015-05-04,29954110,Ryan,"Lindsey was great!  Her place was awesome and truly had some of the best views of the city and river from her balcony.  Besides providing clean, orderly and comfortable accommodations, Lindsey was very knowledgeable about the city itself and each of her recommendations resulted in the either an amazing meal, a great night out and a fun day activity experience.  I'd stay here again if I come back to Austin, and I highly recommend that anyone considering staying here should definitely do so!"
4045466,32270710,2015-05-16,30192909,David,"Lindsey did an excellent job of communication leading up to my stay. Check in was easy and the apartment was nice.  My room was clean and I had my own bathroom.  If the weather was nicer, there was a nice pool. All and all, an excellent stay.  "
4045466,33435007,2015-05-28,10815217,Dan,"Lindsey's place was very conveniently located for our trip to Austin, walking distance to Rainey Street and short uber/lyft rides from the rest of the city! We rented the guest room which had a queen bed, leather futon and ample closet space. The place was very clean and we felt really comfortable. The facilities (pool, work out area and free Starbucks coffee) were also a great addition. We were, however, a little surprised to find out that Lindsey had rented the master bedroom to another couple for one of the nights during our stay. It was slightly uncomfortable as we were in a private apartment but it felt more like a hostel, knowing there were other people we didn't know in the apartment also. It ended up working out great for us, as they were only there one night and we had the rest of the apartment to ourselves, but I can see it being different if the other guests were there during the entirety of our trip. Also, if Lindsey is not there, you won't get access to the free equipment rentals (i.e. kayaks) but there are kayak rental shops within walking distance that are really well priced! All in all, I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Austin!"
4045466,34226812,2015-06-06,33245168,Emily,"We loved staying at Lindsey's apartment! The location was right along the water-- her living room window had a great view of paddle boarders and kayakers riding along the river. Along with exploring the city, we also relaxed at the complex's swimming pool and sipped free Starbucks coffee. In the morning, Lindsey generously offered us to eat her (high-quality!) food and use her kitchen. It was a wonderful stay. I would recommend Lindsey to my friends!"
4045466,34450155,2015-06-08,9753091,Gladys,"Lindsey was a great, friendly host! The complex was beautiful and in a great location. 5 mins from everywhere we wanted to go."
4045466,35224854,2015-06-16,32028981,Sauli,"I had a great time staying at Lindsey's! Arriving late in the evening the guest parking was full, but Lindsey let me use one of her own parking places in the building, which was very nice. Also, a glass of wine upon the arrival was a nice touch!
The apartment was clean and the pictures describe the place very well. I had my own bedroom and bathroom, both very clean and nice. The bedroom does face the I-35 so the sounds of traffic carry in. That's maybe something to consider if you're a light sleeper.
All in all, I would definitely stay at Lindsey's again!"
4045466,35432448,2015-06-18,730404,MeiLi,"My partner and I stayed at Lindsey's beautiful apartment for two nights while we were in Austin. It was honestly better than a hotel - the pool was amazing and the location was awesome. The apartment itself was well kept and absolutely beautiful. We only interacted with Lindsey for a short period of time as she was out of town for most of our stay. However, she was very generous and hospitable to us. She made us feel right at home and we were very grateful for how trusting she was of us. Overall it was an extremely positive experience! We would both highly recommend staying with Lindsey!"
4045466,40124702,2015-07-28,33610860,Alexandra,"Everything with Lindsey was great! The apartment was just as cute as the pictures and the location was perfect! It was within walking distance of a SUP/Kayak rental place that was close enough to paddle downtown. Most uber rides were $5-10. Lindsey couldn't have been nicer and kept mostly to herself when she was home, making us feel like we could actually use the kitchen/living room. One of the nicest parts of this location was the resort style pool. It made it feel much more like a hotel and gave us a great place to relax after busy days of sight seeing. When I come back to Austin this is definitely where I would stay."
4045466,42321985,2015-08-12,27242435,Rebecca,"My friend and I absolutely loved staying here. Lindsey was very accommodating. Her apartment was both clean and well-kept, and the beds were quite comfortable. Having free Starbucks Coffee in the apartment lobby was great.
One thing she didn't mention: her apartment is situated far enough into Austin that it is completely possible to drive anywhere in the area and avoid I-35 all together. 

A big plus. 

Also, it was only a 5 minute drive from Barton Springs, and within walking distance from Threadgills!

If we come to Austin again, I would definitely look at staying here!

"
4045466,44172313,2015-08-24,13921410,Joanne,"I had a wonderful stay at Lindsey's apartment in Austin!! It's location is very easy to find and if you want to leave your car behind, it would be possible to walk to the downtown area pretty quickly. For me, the heat and the fact that I am healing from an injury to my leg made that kind of a walk impossible- but there are no stairs to climb to get to the apartment, so it was perfect!! The view is peaceful and the apartment is very quiet. If you're looking for a lively time, the pool area seemed to be the place to hang out and relax at the end of the day- and the pool is beautiful and refreshing. I'd recommend staying at Lindsey's place if you want to be a little outside of the wild downtown fun- but close enough to it to either walk or drive there quickly. It's the best of both worlds!! Comfortable and well-equipped. Lindsey was easy to reach and was an easy host to work with. Great stay!!!"
4045466,45525242,2015-09-03,9149670,Rita,"Lindsey was super nice, considerate and totally accommodating. 
Her place is in a great location for getting around the city and the view is beautiful. She gave us some perfect recommendations for food options and touring."
4045466,46154875,2015-09-08,10467120,Casey,"Lindsey was great and gave us a lot of good recommendations of places to go.  Her place is nice and the amenities of the apartment complex were nice too - pool, gym, and a lounge with Starbucks coffee were among our favorites.  We had a nice stay!!"
4045466,47156826,2015-09-16,19835284,Dennis And Jeanne,"Excellent location and you can walk to both the New Austin downtown area, And the South Congress area, if you like a good walk along the lake. Swimming pool was very nice and the free Starbuck's was a plus."
4045466,47724328,2015-09-21,5866449,Janice,Lindsey was prompt in getting me all the details I needed to navigate getting into her parking garage and into the apartment.  All was as described in the airbnb listing.  Great view of Lady Bird Lake from her condo and nice location relative to DT Austin and other great activities.  
4045466,48679520,2015-09-28,3738023,Igor,"Lindsey was a great host, she stayed up late until I arrived and personally met me. The apartment is new and bright, however the noise from the adjacent  I-35 might be a disturbing if you are a light sleeper.  The location is very good, 20 min walking to the vibrant Rainey street or a 5 min ride to the downtown. The complex has tons of amenities which I dint get to use, unfortunately.
Overall I had a terrific time  and I would highly recommend the place."
4045466,50752786,2015-10-14,10703629,Grace,"Exceptionally clean room and apartment with a convenient proximity to the city.  Functional space with few bells and whistles. Beautiful river views (check out Live, Love, Paddle for kayak rentals, within walking distance). Great if you're looking for a host experience with minimal traffic."
4045466,51299922,2015-10-19,43126992,Penny,"We enjoyed staying at Lindsey's place.  The location was good, very close to downtown.  Her place had a ""welcome"" feeling to it.  I would stay again.

4245099,21105348,2014-10-11,21289836,Ryan,"I had a great time staying here so I decided to stay another week. Sarah is a most kind and thoughtful host, and she always went out of her way to ensure my stay was pleasant and that I had everything that I needed. I would certainly stay here again, and I would recommend anyone coming to Austin to stay here as well. Great location and wonderful host!"
4245099,23086080,2014-11-22,23865939,Chanelle,"Such a great first airbnb experience!! Sara Jane was so sweet and kind, she gave wonderful sight seeing and to do tips while I was in town. The perfect place to stay for my little adventure! Thanks a bunch!!"
4245099,27035184,2015-02-23,27976139,Alisa,"I had a very pleasant time at Sarah Jane's home. Sarah Jane is very nice and sweet, and we chatted for quite a while, the evening I got into Austin. A big plus for me is that she has 2 sweet cats, as I really love animals.  I'm one that needs privacy on my downtime, and I was happy that I got that, while staying at Sarah Jane's. It was very comfortable staying at her home, which is clean (another big plus for me). And she'd even cooked a little food for me for breakfast, which I regretfully forgot in the fridge.  I stayed for just 1 evening, as I had to get back to Houston, but would have loved to stay a little longer. A great first airbnb experience for me, and I would recommend anyone coming to Austin to stay here as well. "
4245099,27410451,2015-03-03,8198388,Kacey,"Sarah Jane is awesome, and her house is great and clean and her kitties are adorable.  I had a great stay, and will be looking to stay here again next time I need an airbnb in Austin for sure.  "
4245099,28467678,2015-03-24,26566537,Erin,"My first AirBnB experience...and I can't imagine a better one! 
Sarah Jane is a such a lovely host!  She is warm, genuine, respectful, interested, and really invested not only in her beautiful home space, but also in making her guests feel welcome and at home! I had a great time visiting with her, but I also felt my privacy was respected, and I could do my own thing.
There is natural and healthy energy there. The house is filled with plants, there are lots of windows, and the kitchen and common area are wide and open and full of light! The kitties are sweet, and like most cats they hide away and nap most of the day. But they also love people, and cuddle sessions! 
There were no surprises. She kept me up to date about her schedule and routine with her flute playing (which was beautiful to hear), and students coming by the house, etc. And she checked in with me daily to make sure my stay was going well! 
The bedroom I stayed in was very spacious and clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and stocked with essentials. I felt very much at home here. It truly is a comfortable sanctuary, and is in a very calm and safe neighborhood. I stayed here for just over 2 weeks, and was sad to leave! 
I recommend this peaceful home to anyone traveling through Austin, or like me...live in Austin and need a place to call home while your own house is taken over by SXSW guests! ;) "
4245099,28688023,2015-03-28,6529736,Matt,"Sarah Jane is a truly magical host, and her house is a truly magical place. Walk in to discover an open floor plan, airy living room, lively kitchen, and large backyard. Your bedroom is just right - not too big, not too small, great closet space. And your bathroom is the best you'll experience on Airbnb, including bath products from premium brands - Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, Nature's Gate shampoo, and Meyers hand soap.

Sarah Jane herself is an inspiration. She's confident, funny, self-deprecating, and full of energy in a way that both makes you feel welcome and lets you know that the ship's captain has a firm hand on the till. She taught me the basics of playing a flute (that's her profession), made eggs and blueberry muffins, and shared her daily introspection exercise, which I found incredibly motivating. Her fans call her the Rockstar Flutist. She's also a Rockstar Host.

And the cats. They. Are. Adorable. 110% recommend this place."

4245099,32079010,2015-05-13,31187890,Will,Sarah was a great host and her place is in an area that I ended up loving. Only 10 minutes from downtown Austin and plenty of great places right down the street from her. She recommended places to go listen to live music and was spot on. As an added bonus she played flute for me which was amazing and fun. She's crazy talented! Will definitely stay there again when I come back to Austin. 
4245099,33678343,2015-05-31,3447623,Michelle,Wonderful place and hostess! Loved everything. 
4245099,37922871,2015-07-11,613208,Gina,This was a great place to stay and Sarah is a super nice person who took me on a nice hike near her house (:. Austin is such a cool place and Sarah's home and beautiful back yard are very inviting!

Thanks Sarah, Aloha!"
4245099,39296450,2015-07-22,32650877,Nicholas,"Sarah Jane was the perfect host - welcomed me into her lovely home and even took the time to show me around Austin on one of her mornings off. She is so much fun to be around and goes out of her way to really make you feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable, and Sarah Jane's music only adds to the ambiance. "
4245099,45986823,2015-09-07,7747159,Tim,Sarah Jane is a welcoming host and her place is conveniently located in a nice-quiet neighborhood. The room featured a very comfortable bed and easy access to what was essentially my private bathroom. I enjoyed my stay here and recommend Sarah Jane's place to anyone!
4245099,49812177,2015-10-06,41406283,Danielle,Sarah Jane was a wonderful hostess.  She was very helpful with directions - even re-routing us due to traffic jam.  She stayed in contact with us to make sure we could get into the home when we needed.  Her listing was very accurate and made our first airbnb experience a success.  
8209531,50650346,2015-10-13,18607688,Tess,"We loved staying at Annie's apartment! It is an adorable and spacious one bedroom right on South Congress, so you can walk to all sorts of restaurants, bars, and shops. Because it is a bit above the street, though, it was still pretty quiet in the apartment itself! We had 6 people, which was a bit cozy, but we didn't mind at all, and Annie left out plenty of sheets/towels/air mattresses/etc to make us comfortable. 
Annie was always easy to contact, and left some chips and salsa for us to enjoy during our stay (which we definitely did!). Since we were there for ACL and she had gone the week before, she also gave us some tips for the fest that were very useful! 
I highly recommend Annie's South Congress apartment! Thanks for a great stay!"
8209531,52122684,2015-10-26,11231202,Brian,"Annie was a great host. This apartment is cozy & comfy, even for four of us on a rainy weekend. It's an ideal spot to bebop around S. Congress. Will definitely come back. "

The efficiency is as described and I would recommend this spot to anyone.  The location is very close to downtown, like a $6 Uber ride close.  Thank you Tina and hopefully we can do business again sometime!"
5018041,28188053,2015-03-19,21108318,Marcus,We enjoyed Tina's place!   It was an easy bike ride to town which was perfect for our SXSW adventure.  It's a great spot!

5018041,29203245,2015-04-05,26055462,Justin,"A nice and quaint little apartment in a good location. Quiet neighborhood and the space, though small, has everything you need. I'm 6'6'' and had a little trouble in the corner shower, but average sized people will be very comfortable! "
5018041,29766568,2015-04-12,28100986,Jessica,"The space was in excellent condition upon arrival. Unfortunately we were expecting a stand alone unit rather than a converted basement, and the space did not offer the privacy nor quiet that we wanted. We booked a hotel instead."
5018041,30209790,2015-04-19,28925777,Rachel,"This place is perfect for a couple who are coming to Austin to explore! We spent very little time at the apartment, but had all the amenities needed there when we wanted to sleep, shower or make a quick bite to eat (obviously with groceries we bought ourselves.) The location is perfect - close to SoCo where we spent most of our time. The average fare for a Lyft was between $7-$15. We liked that the place was completely private, quiet and located on what seemed to be a safe street with a private entrance with an electronic key pad (this saved us as we are constantly losing hotel keys when we are on vacation.) So if you're looking to stay somewhere close to the action, and only need a spot for sleeping, getting ready and resting in between adventures...this is a cozy, quiet and perfect location for that! "
5018041,30712109,2015-04-26,30839414,Halle,The home was cozy and had everything we needed for the weekend. The neighborhood was nice and right where we wanted to be.

5018041,31230527,2015-05-03,27960961,Sarah,"This place was exactly what we needed for our trip. It was easy access, and super convenient to not have to carry around a key. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. There was also a really soft blanket. It is a great place to spend a weekend if you really just need someone to sleep and shower. "
5018041,31922652,2015-05-11,21984457,Reagan,I had an excellent weekend staying at this secluded property. It was very private but our host was still very accommodating. It was a relaxing place to stay in between a music festival weekend that still allowed us to do a lot of our own cooking. 10/10 would do again! 
5018041,32649351,2015-05-19,33314894,Kendra,Tina and her family were very gracious and sweet hosts. The room was impeccable and very private. A very nice choice for a visit to Austin.

It was our first air bnb experience, moving to a new city for work and needed a place to stay while waiting to get into our apartment. The basement apartment was private, clean and stocked with everything we needed for our short stay. We didn't meet Tina in person but she was quick and responsive with everything we needed over air bnb messaging. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to stay close to downtown in a quiet neighborhood."
5018041,32926410,2015-05-23,2664636,Kellie,"The place was just as described and fit our needs perfectly. Check in/check out was easy, since the lock is keyless. Thanks, Tina!"

The room is cozy and pleasant, and for someone traveling for work, I appreciate that there is a table for me to work at. I had a lot of privacy and it was also nice to chat with Tina, albeit briefly.   "
5018041,36248854,2015-06-26,36082426,Kelsey,"My stay at Tina's place was wonderful! The room was exactly like the pictures. It was the perfect size for my boyfriend and I on our 3 day stay. The location is great and it was close by to everywhere we wanted to go. We did hear the dogs barking and kids talking occasionally from upstairs but it didn't bother us at all. Although we didn't meet Tina, she was very accommodating and made herself accessible if we needed it. We truly enjoyed ourselves!  "
5018041,37214107,2015-07-05,5775275,Sasha,"Our stay at Tinas home was perfect for our 4th of July weekend! Check in/check out was super easy, Tina had messaged me a day prior giving me the pass code to the lock, and asked us to check in/check out at the appropriate times, and gave us information about the home . Once we got there she messaged me and told us to let her know if we needed anything! Clean, cozy, and private! Had everything we needed, and just the perfect amount of space for me and my boyfriend. The place looked exactly like the pictures! Loved the location, like 5 minute drive to South Congress and about 10 min to downtown! We had a great time! Thank you Tina for letting us stay in your beautiful home!"
5018041,38029119,2015-07-12,31174974,James,"The room was great and looked just like the pictures. Very close to the city and all sorts of entertainment. The A/C could have been a bit colder for me, but we made due."

5018041,44234190,2015-08-24,41187286,Matthew,"Tina's welcoming, snug shotgun apartment more than catered for our time in Austin. Leaving us a notebook with recommendations was also very useful. 

The apartment was furnished nicely and well maintained. It felt like our own space and Tina left us to our own devices. 

I would recommend this listing. 
Thank you, Tina. "

I would definitely stay here again."

It's the ideal location for downtown and Rainey street! The apartment is connected to their house, but still pretty private. Every now and then you will here some noise upstairs but it was minor. The main bed was very comfortable! "
5018041,47227087,2015-09-16,13136948,Stephanie,This apartment was absolutely perfect! Very close to everything! Only a $6 uber ride to 6th street if you want to partake in the bar life festivities. Everything was exactly as it was pictured and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! It felt very homey but with added bonuses such as mini shampoo and conditioner bottles. Would highly recommend and stay again!

Not too far at all from downtown, and it's super easy to pick up a Lyft or Uber anywhere. Very cozy, would stay here again. "
5018041,48434458,2015-09-26,43512727,Stevie,"Everything was perfect! 
Clean and comfortable and very close to where we needed to go. "
5018041,49792090,2015-10-06,42334171,Alex,"Perfect location to enjoy Austin from. Uber is indeed only $6 to downtown. Also an even shorter ride to the South Congress area or Rainey Street. Excellent!

Apt. was cozy and cool when we arrived despite the 90+ degree weather outside. Bed and couch were plenty comfortable for sleeping and the kitchen was usable.  Most basic essentials were provided for us.

Would happily stay again if I were in Austin!"
5018041,51095270,2015-10-17,12157066,Sarah,Great space for 1 person or a couple and awesome location close to downtown. The key code lock also made it super user-friendly.
5018041,51200628,2015-10-18,34009967,Kelsey,"Tina was very accommodating to try and get the room ready for an early check in we had requested! Her house is in a great location off the highway and her instructions to the room were easy to follow. Cozy and quiet room with a comfortable bed and the kitchen was well-stocked with tableware, nice dishes and other essentials. Our only complaints are that there is no TV, no coffee, and some things could be a bit more clean. We don't watch a lot of TV except before bed and with the available wifi, we connected my tablet and got on Netflix so we're fine! :)"
5018041,51901823,2015-10-25,35013291,Christopher,"House was great. Quiet, clean, and close to downtown. Nice kitchen too. Was perfect for our needs.  Thank you Tina for the hospitality!"

6575767,44008183,2015-08-23,1767825,Alice,Mary made us feel very welcome in her home. We had a great time spending my husband's 30th birthday around the pool with our friends. Really great outdoor area!
6575767,45889742,2015-09-06,19891178,Haoyue,"The whole experience is great. Mary made very clear instructions about everything.
The pool is amazing! and one of my friends seems like the great experience of sleeping on the floor a lot :)

The location is also great, very quite but close to the city. Highly recommended for a weekend in Austin.
"
6575767,47834016,2015-09-21,454027,Annie,"Mary's house was perfect for our group of 8. She called me the night before our reservation to let me know where the key would be and see if I had any questions. The house is big and cozy, and the pool is great! Excellent place for a weekend getaway with friends. I highly recommend Mary's house! "
6575767,49600711,2015-10-05,21748415,Jack,Mary was a wonderful host and her house is very well located if you are trying to get to and from downtown Austin. Plenty of space for a group of 6-8 and the backyard is a great place to hang out during the day. 
6575767,50440538,2015-10-12,23169790,Ana,"Mary was an excellent host. Great communication and made everything practical. She even made us a really good cake to enjoy!

6575767,52723738,2015-11-01,25653412,Ellyse,Mary was a wonderful host. It was a very easy check in and check out process. The backyard fireplace was a perfect place to gather at night during the fall. We loved it! 
949685,3774934,2013-03-13,5151314,Kyle,"Can't say enough good things about this space. It was tastefully decorated, quiet, provided all essential amenities, and was in the perfect location to enjoy SoCo and downtown Austin. I can't remember the last time I had such a comfortable and relaxing stay. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect base camp to explore Austin, and I plan on staying again any time I come back."
949685,3807713,2013-03-17,249117,Sandra,"Justin was an amazing host! My sister and I were in Austin for SXSW and absolutely loved staying at this location. We were right in the heart of Soco, just a few minutes walk to Congress. The place itself was super clean, cozy, and cute. We loved sitting on the deck outside with a cold Lonestar. The shower is to die for, and was our daily saving grace after a marathon of shows. We will absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this listing. Thanks for making our yearly South By trip even more amazing, Justin! :)

949685,3870231,2013-03-23,1450705,Morgan,"This was a very nice place. Its located within walking distance to a lot of food and drink options. And its not even that far a walk to downtown. The place itself was very nice. Everything was clean and charming. The modern multi-head shower took some time to get used to but it was neat. Check out time is prompt! (we were running a few minutes late and the cleaning lady was there on the dot and waited outside a few minutes for us)

For the price its a great deal when you just need a nice place to crash or relax."
949685,4005772,2013-04-02,5323724,Kate,Great place to stay...super cute and clean and within walking distance of so much.  Justin and his management company were very flexible and easy to work with.  He put a coffee maker in the place after I asked him to do so.  Do not hesitate to stay here.
949685,4165152,2013-04-15,742560,Brian,"Justin's place is lovely, on a quiet street and within walking distance from Soco - a great neighborhood with amazing restaurants and food trucks.

The apartment was nicely and stylishly decorated, the shower was great and had a few things which were nice touches. It was quiet which allowed is to chill out before exploring the gun SXSW brings. It's also in a good location a 5 min walk to some lovely cafe, food trucks and shops and about a 30 minute stroll to the central area of Austin. Also Justin helped us to book a taxi as all slots were booked. I would highly recommend staying at this lovely apartment. Thank you!"

A great patio made relaxing easy. We took advantage of being walking distance from restaurants and lovely outdoor spaces including nearby Stacy Park. We had a car, and as Justin had assured us, parking was easy. Highly recommended. "
949685,16507260,2014-07-28,12095288,Yamilet,"The ""treehouse"" was lovely, modern, private and convenient.  I loved the ""rock and roll"" shower, the ""girl cave"" closet and digital locking no keys are great with multiple guests and nothing to lose. Great location close to SoCo would love to stay again."

We would definitely stay here again!"

My husband and I both agree, it might be the nicest bathroom we've ever showered in. :) They were accommodating to our early check-in request and the apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Very clean, close to Tom's coffee shop and South Congress Shopping and activities. Comfortably housed 4. We are already talking about our next visit!

Thank you! "

I am Swiss and stayed about 10 days at this lovely place to visit friends. I could do all my excursions by walking. I didn't even need a car to look around in this fascinating city.
Thank you for this uncomplicated an perfect service. Thank you Justin -Lukas from Switzerland"

949685,27317855,2015-03-02,6410448,Cindy,"This unit was perfect for our needs and was as described in the listing.

949685,28157339,2015-03-19,8316778,Tor Anders,"I can fully recommend Justin`s flat. Nice, clean and central placement i SoCo. The sofa is good as extra bed. Justin answer questions quickly on email. The whole stay was a breeze!

Tip: use Austin B-cycle for easy transport. Station nearby the flat."
949685,30161640,2015-04-18,8822060,Kirk,"Talk about a gem! I'm hesitant to write much more, should that reduce my chances this place will be available the next time I want to stay in it.

It's a beautiful unit that's completely separate from the downstairs home. Justin welcomed me when I got there and made himself available to any questions I had. If you want a private retreat, though, this is it. You won't be bothered by anyone!"
949685,30613504,2015-04-25,29101696,Blaine,Fantastic place and a short walk to south congress.
949685,31202688,2015-05-03,5665361,Erin,"This was the perfect reprieve after long days exploring!  

We recently stayed for five nights in this cozy studio apt.  Located a few blocks from an adorable main strip of South Congress, we were surprised to find the neighborhood so quite.  

The interior is eclectic meets modern.  Our three favorite elements were the extremely comfortable bed, fabulous daylight & closet space.

I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable & convenient place to stay and would book again no question! 
"
949685,31887824,2015-05-11,29003586,Chris,"Gorgeous apartment.  Great location just off of South Congress.  Plenty was well within walking distance, which was helpful as parking can be a challenge at times.  So much to see and do in Austin, I don't think we spent much time here other than to sleep.  The shower was a religious experience as others have mentioned. We arrived a little early and the local office allowed us to check in which was super appreciated after a long flight.
Thanks for sharing your home with us, we will most definitely be back."
949685,32572330,2015-05-19,32000479,Melinda,"This place is the perfect location if you want to be in the heart of Austin. Nice and quiet neighborhood.

The apartment itself was fantastically clean, wonderfully decorated and perfect location.  The apartment is literally a few blocks away from South Congress which was such a unique neighbourhood.  I had complete privacy too at the apartment which I actually like, though I had contact with someone if I needed it. I would 100% recommend staying here."

Justin send through a handy list of recommendations, and when the clean popped by she helped me out with getting orientated on the map.

I had a great time in Austin. Thanks."

949685,40224059,2015-07-29,26205615,Jakob,"The pictures and the description of the listing definitely do the apartment justice. It provided us with a cool, beautiful and comfortable oasis in the sweltering Austin July heat. The bed is super comfortable, the shower is awesome and the apartment is close to SoCo and a five minute drive or 20min walk to downtown Austin. In addition, the apartment features a very cute and comfortable terrace for  a relaxing morning coffee or evening drink. Did I mention that the fridge had cold water and beer when we arrived? Nice touch!
We would definitely come back!

Roomy house with two comfortable bedrooms with lots of storage and closet space. Open floorplan for the living room and kitchen. The up to date kitchen had everything you would need to prepare meals. The house had a great front porch for sitting and a fenced back yard with deck and grill for dining. The house came with a washer and dryer which came in handy and a driveway for off street parking. House also had a complete security system. Jay was a great host welcoming us with everything we would want to know about the house/neighborhood, shopping, eating establishments, museums-who to contact and provided us with maps and pamphlets of activities and sights to enjoy in Austin. Would highly recommend Casita del Sol as your next stay in Austin. We will be coming back!

886584,10910304,2014-03-12,1248209,Molly,"Elisa and her husband were the most amazing hosts during my stay.  We rented the entire house (it was huge!) and they were beyond accommodating.  Elisa was very responsive on e-mail leading up to the stay and then was overly helpful with anything we needed while we were there - food, directions, suggestions, maps, supplies, etc.  They even came back halfway through our stay to wash sheets- wow! She is also a wonderful and fun person and I can't say enough about how great this house is to stay at.  "
886584,10944486,2014-03-14,6472980,Avi,"Elise and her husband were the sweetest - the stocked the fridge for us (including beer!), gave us suggestions of food and drink in the area (all of which were incredible), and we're generally so very accommodating. Would definitely rent their place again."
886584,10996828,2014-03-16,9685026,Eric,Best house and best host ever! Not only does she have an awesome house with a great location but she also treated us like royalty by buying us groceries (beer included) and cleaning the house during the middle of our stay. 
886584,28087915,2015-03-17,1248209,Molly,It was a lovely stay and the hosts are incredibly sweet. They made us feel at home in their beautiful and well located home.
4016492,19794715,2014-09-18,2109383,Bj,"Took the maiden voyage in the newest Zilker house addition. Super impressed as always with the quality and care put into the house. The location is great. I was able to easily walk to ABGB and many other places are close by. Mary is THE best host I've ever worked with on this site. In fact, when I need to book in Austin, I usually browse the calendars of their locations first. I've actually scheduled some of my travel to make it work out. 

This new place is huge! There's quite a few bedrooms and beds. If you have a large family or even a roving band of merry men, there's plenty of places to sleep. Also, plenty of bathrooms. 

I can't say enough good things about the home or the host. Cheers!"
4016492,29686034,2015-04-11,21326251,Joy,"I stayed here for 3 nights and had 2 BR/2BA. Mary was a very responsive and accommodating. This home was top-notch; clean, spacious and with all the amenities. Especially appreciated the Keurig. Outdoor covered patio was perfect for a late dinner. Location was great; quiet neighborhood at pretty easy walking distance to South 1st and a quick drive into downtown/Rainey St. The 10AM checkout was a bit early for my vacation mode, so next time I would probably just ask to move it back a bit. "
2404636,10946060,2014-03-14,3230750,Christian,They were cool and the place was nice! It was SXSW and I walked in every day - it was easy. Everything I wanted in a small SXSW apartment!

Natalie was responsive by cell phone for any inquiries. She was also flexible with the check-in/check-out times. I highly recommend her apartment. The surrounding area is nice too, which is about a 20 minute walk to downtown Austin."
2404636,49437523,2015-10-04,9709760,Ben,"Pretty much the perfect spot for a weekend in ATX for ACL.  Natalie was an incredibly flexible host regarding arrival / departure times,  and very understanding and gracious (she even supplied bagels!).  I would definitely recommend staying here in the future.  The walk was approx 20mins, very manageable, and there are myriad bars, restaurants, etc within a very short walking distance.  Thanks Natalie!"
2404636,50429430,2015-10-12,33833588,Crystal,"My two friends and I stayed here for ACL music fest weekend 2 and it was perfect. It is about a 20 min. walk to Zilker Park (only about a mile away). There were also plenty of uber and pedicabs available for use as well. The area around the listing was awesome - great restaurants and bars within walking distance.

The place itself is exactly how it's depicted in the listing. Clean, organized, really artsy decor. We brought an air mattress for the third person to sleep in the living room and it fit perfectly.

Natalie was very helpful and was quick to answer any questions we had. We met with her face to face and she was kind and gave us some good advice about the local area. She was very flexible with regards to checking in and out. She was also gracious enough to remove her cat from the property when she found out I'm allergic to cats. Really a nice host.  We have no complaints - this was a great ACL fest spot!"

Stephanie was very nice,  accommodating, and responded quickly to any questions and communications I sent her way. The room was clean and well-kept.

5031020,29029322,2015-04-02,8678251,Victor,"    Pets were adorable and entertaining and never barked at me even when I got them riled up before letting them outside to play.
    Stephanie graciously gave some flexibility regarding my arrival time and was nice and entertaining.  She explained where all the items (remotes, appliances, washer) were in the (website hidden) has Chrome that worked great with the WiFi and she even let me try some of her serious cooking (delicious!).
    She was familiar with city and suggested and gave direction to locations I would end up visiting (from music supplies, arcades, groceries, local landmarks, and hidden food & drink gems.)
    The living room had fun eclectic (but very clean and orderly) decor, whereas my bedroom was quaint, clean, tastefully furnished and comfortable with ample space & storage.  I had pens/notepad, misc. restroom items, and steam iron available as well.  I had an extended stay so I made good use of dedicated shelving and the kitchen.  Printer was readily available for plane tickets or whatnot and I think cable TV was available in my room (but I hadn't tried watching.)  Restroom was very clean (all areas of the home actually.)
    All in all, a superb experience and would gladly stay again and recommend to others."
5031020,29374647,2015-04-06,1331924,Ej,"Wow, Steph is really serious about being a good airbnb host!  I got in after 2 am and she left a detailed note on here everything was.  the room was perfectly prepared, the bed was unbelieveably comfy, there ere 3 colorful personal towels, washcloths folded on the bed, a teddy bear ... and an Andes mint!

The dogs were nice, she made coffee, overall a very enjoyable experience..

Not really far from downtown, but a lot of turns to get there"
5031020,29800398,2015-04-12,15499481,Alex,"I had a great stay at Stephanie´s home. She is a great welcoming host, not to mention a really cool gal. The room I stayed in was well appointed which helped make my experience more enjoyable. Kudos to her, and again, many many thanks. If you are a dog lover, rest assured you will love Micah and Romeo. "
5031020,29957392,2015-04-14,30967515,Matthew,"This was my very first AirBNB.  Check-in was super easy and Stephanie instantly made me feel right at home.  My room was clean and I found a little chocolate treat on my bed when I arrived.  Stephanie's two dogs are fantastic.  I'm not even a dog person, but I found myself looking forward to seeing them each time I came home!  Highly recommended.  "
5031020,30263085,2015-04-19,31212335,Dennis,Stephanie was a great host. Very easy going and hospitable. The room was nice and the bed comfortable. The dogs were great as well!

5031020,32636333,2015-05-19,31218740,Kent,"Had a really nice stay.  Steph is a considerate and accommodating host.  House was clean, amenities readily available, and the dogs were lovely.   "
5031020,34554575,2015-06-09,31297274,Nathan,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I don't think it could have been better! Great host and extremely comfortable house. I was visiting the Circuit of the Americas and it was a great location to the racetrack and to other things to do in Austin. If I come back through Austin, I am definitely going to try and book with her again!"
5031020,35896462,2015-06-22,6152930,Manuel,It was great staying at Stephanie's.  The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.    Her dogs were friendly.  It was convenient for what I was looking for.  Stephanie was down to earth.  The neighborhood was safe and quiet.  It was further from the airport then what I expected but easy to get to on the Blue Shuttle.
5031020,38326093,2015-07-14,31623762,David,"Cool ass easy going (website hidden) always cold, room in the fridge and pantry, quiet neighborhood, no problems, and the dogs are good boys"

5031020,42077016,2015-08-10,37417493,Iana,"Amazing host, amazing person. Steph was very welcoming, she even made me soup that was absolutely delicious! We would chat for hours and her house is gorgeous! Perfect location in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Her dogs are sweethearts and they love the attention if you are a dog lover, but also respect your privacy if you're not crazy about dogs! 
I can say I made a new friend booking with Steph!
"
5031020,43008558,2015-08-16,40824469,Alec,"It really was a home away from home. Stephanie is personable and interesting. Her dogs are friendly and will take as much attention as you can dish out. The room was cool and comfortable, I didn't want for any amenities. I hope to be back to Austin and stay there again."
5031020,43205522,2015-08-17,40824469,Alec,Same as below!
5031020,43343719,2015-08-18,38940963,Michael,Stephanie accommodated me with a last minute request and made me feel extremely welcome.  Her house is very cool and comfortable and she provides great amenities.  Great location relative to downtown in a safe and clean neighborhood.  Stephanie has great communication as well.  Thanks!
5031020,43467653,2015-08-19,38940963,Michael,(This is a duplicate review--I stayed two nights on separate bookings).  Stephanie was a great host who accommodated me last minute.  Her communication was great.  Her house is clean and comfortable and in a great neighborhood.  Highly recommended.
5031020,45228751,2015-08-31,5019177,Jillien,"I had a great stay! I didn't get to meet Stephanie, she was asleep when I arrived, but she made sure i had everything I needed and was very kind. Her brother also made me fresh juice in the morning and was great to chat with! The bed was comfy, I slept amazingly well. I would definitely recommend this place!"
5031020,47128087,2015-09-15,43863457,Mayoor,"Stephanie was an WONDERFUL HOST! She made sure I felt at home and was a delight to hang around and talk to. Room, common area and bathroom were very clean. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on. Will be staying again on my next Austin trip. "
5031020,47900527,2015-09-21,44123504,Larry,"Stephanie was very welcoming and made me feel at ease and comfortable in her home. It was better than I anticipated, everything anyone would need to have a comfortable stay. The rooms were clean and well appointed. It was in a great neighborhood and only minutes from downtown and from my favorite store COSTCO just in case you need some photos developed. The dogs were well behaved and slept most of the time. I will definitely stay next year if it is available."
5031020,48483328,2015-09-26,33616104,James,"Stephanie's place is awesome. She met me when I arrived and we watched some TV, had a great talk, and hung out with her adorable and sweet puppies. The neighborhood is super safe, quiet, and comfortable. The room has an extremely comfortable bed and a TV with a ton of channels. The bathroom is really nice and well stocked with fresh everything. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Stephanie."
4463932,24739678,2015-01-02,9841637,Scott,The place was perfect. Very beautiful apartment with a great location. Everything was very clean and tidy. There were plenty of towels and blankets. Michelle was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. I would rate my stay here as 11 out of 10 stars. 
4463932,25369468,2015-01-13,16846883,Tony,"Perfect place, great location, Michelle was very accommodating. The apartment was perfect for 4 travellers  and the facilities were second to none. Right in the heart of Austin no need for taxi's. Certainly recommend this listing!"
4463932,25615454,2015-01-20,1326901,Cassie,"Had a wonderful time at Michelle's apartment. It was spacious, clean, and perfectly located for a long weekend in Austin. If we come back we will definitely be looking to stay with her again. "
4463932,25814458,2015-01-26,647475,Naveed,"This apt has impeccable location. Close to everything in downtown austin. While the place is cozy if you have 7- 8 ppl (4 beds and one bathroom), it is clean and served out purposes just fine. Michelle was a great host."
4463932,26206899,2015-02-07,23006602,Kathy,We had a great experience we could literally open the parking gate while standing inside the convention center. The walk to anywhere was quick and easy. Michelle was a perfect host and responded quickly to any questions we had. We will be coming back and staying here again. 
4463932,27831329,2015-03-13,6323940,Jason,"Michelle was wonderful! Very fast on replying back to any questions that I had and made sure that we had everything we needed to have a great time. The space is very cool, just like the photos, and you absolutely can't beat the location! I would definitely stay her again."
4463932,28866223,2015-03-31,25893096,Rob,"apartment's downtown location plus private parking space was perfect for our purpose to spend a weekend in Austin.  Michelle was friendly and responsive.  Apartment clean and cozy.  My daughter loved the loft.  Only slight inconvenience was the circular staircase to the loft partially blocking the kitchen entry. 
This was our 1st airb&b experience and we  will use it again. "
4463932,29286763,2015-04-06,28255110,Kimberly,Place was perfect for our group of 6.  The condo was clean and perfect location. Thanks!
4463932,29820347,2015-04-13,25835881,Heather,We had a wonderful experience at Hotel Hardy. The space was clean and easily accessible downtown. Michelle was great to work with and promptly answered all questions. Would definitely recommend.
4463932,30127489,2015-04-18,23006602,Kathy,This was the second time to stay with Michelle and things were awesome again. Perfect location for convention and other downtown fun. Even close to Rainey street. 
4463932,30276876,2015-04-20,6149277,Anat,"This apartment was exactly what we were looking for. It was spacious and clean, and had everything  we needed. Michelle was very available and answered calls and texts immediately. It looked exactly like the photos on the website. We could not have been happier with our stay!"
4463932,30769545,2015-04-27,2526259,Ross,"We stayed at Hotel Hardy for two nights with a group of six and it was perfect. The location is close to everything. The apartment is spacious and clean and Michelle was a great host.  We couldn't have asked for anything more.  Would definitely stay again.  

The best part was the keypad entry system into the complex and the apartment.  All of us could come and go as we wished without needing to juggle keys or worry about getting locked out."
4463932,31304993,2015-05-04,764782,Mitch,"Michelle was easy to work with, and the condo is well located to 6th street and the Convention Center. Overall, the quality of the space is just average - it's OK but not luxury by any means. Given the fair pricing, however, I think it's still a good value. "
4463932,32449996,2015-05-18,24153062,John,"The description of the apartment was perfectly accurate and the unit was cleaned and ready for us to get unpacked as soon as we arrived. It was in a perfect location for exploring downtown Austin, and Michelle responded quickly to all logistical questions we had. The apartment worked great for all of us, and check-in/check-out was a smooth, painless process. We really had a great experience!"
4463932,33237002,2015-05-26,8967887,Natalia,"a few days prior to my stay Michelle sent me a email with details to everything that I needed to know about getting in, parking, keys, etc. I didn't even have to ask for it! The check in was so easy since everything is key pad, I really liked that aspect about this  property. Parking was easy, one of our cars stayed in an assigned spot and the others we just put on a surface lot only one block away. Plenty of parking all around the area. The loft is perfect for my group (8 people) and everyone enjoyed there stay. The location simply can't be beat if you wan't to go to 6th street. You are only 2 blocks away to the beggining of 6th street and Rainey St is only a 10min walk. To top it off there's a starbucks right in front of the loft, perfect for your morning coffee. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed their stay."
4463932,33812743,2015-06-01,9840772,Joyce,Michelle's place 'Hotel Hardy' was great.  The location couldn't have been better for our needs & the accommodations were exactly as described.  You can walk so great restaurants and shops and there's even a wanderlust yoga steps away from your front door!  I would highly recommend staying @ Michelle's.   
4463932,34170836,2015-06-05,5287006,Nikki,"We had a great experience staying at the Hotel Hardy. The loft was clean, very conveniently located, and looked just as described in the listing/photos. Michelle provided detailed instructions and was very responsive before and during the visit. We had 4 adults and 2 children in our group and had plenty of space. Having access to a parking spot was also very helpful. "
4463932,34425726,2015-06-08,30924853,Kaitlin,Excellent!! We had everything we could have possibly needed. Place was very clean!
4463932,35454959,2015-06-19,12673663,Danny,"We had a great experience staying at Michelle's. We came to Austin for a conference, and the location was excellent. Just a hop skip jump away. The loft was clean, and looked just as described in the listing/photos. Michelle was very prompt with her communication and provided detailed and easy to follow instructions. A very enjoyable stay!"
4463932,36431323,2015-06-28,35148322,Erik,Our experience exceeded all expectations!
4463932,37356986,2015-07-06,35027688,Michael,Our host was very easy to communicate with and gave us some great suggestions for things to do in ATX. The condo was just as described and the location was great.  
4463932,38114273,2015-07-13,2149232,Cecilia,"Great location, very convenient. The place was nice and clean. Michelle provided good direction. We have no problem with the place. Everything works great. "
4463932,38995702,2015-07-20,26819868,Elaine,"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Hotel Hardy. Michelle was super accommodating and made us feel welcome. She allowed us to check in early, have a parking spot, free WiFi, and a welcome page that answered any questions we had! She was awesome at communication, always getting back to me quick in the weeks leading up to the reservation. 

The apartment was perfect. Everyone had a bed (there were 8 of us) and plenty of room to hang up clothes in the closet. The location was also amazing. We had a super easy bus ride from the hotel that dropped us off across the street from the building, and for only $1.75! We were able to walk to both 6th Street and 2nd Street district. And then could get an inexpensive Uber to S. Congress. 

I would definitely stay here again. This beats out your traditional hotel anytime!"
4463932,39816188,2015-07-26,24826521,Katie,"Hotel Hardy is excellent!  The location cannot be beat- in easy walking distance of 6th St., Rainey St., Congress St.  bridge, the river front...everything in the downtown area is accessible from this great location.  The apartment itself has 4 beds, making it a great choice if you've got some single friends in the group.  It also has an assigned parking spot, which is a great feature in a town with limited parking spots for stays over 3 hours.  Michelle was also a great hostess, providing timely and detailed directions on the apartment.  I would definitely recommend Hotel Hardy and will be booking again next time we are in Austin."
4463932,40958965,2015-08-03,6931615,Sumit,"Hotel Hardy was stellar.  First of all, the location is brilliant.  2 blocks away from 6th Street, closer to the nicer bars like Easy Tiger but still a 5 minute walk from the college type areas.  Rainey St isn't far either.  Lots of great eating options nearby, once again within a few blocks.  The apartment was great.  Enough room to sleep 8 comfortably.  Apple Airplay and Netflix on the tv, and easy enough to hook your own music up.  Plenty of fresh towels, glasses, even toiletries like shampoo and conditioner already provided.  Definitely would stay here again.  "
4463932,42145101,2015-08-11,27179124,Matt,"Accurate description, lovely place, more convenient to the Convention Center even than the hotels next to the Convention Center. Thanks!"
4463932,43918750,2015-08-23,1809585,Terri,"This was a great experience.  RIGHT across the street from the convention center, couldn't be easier!  Michelle sent a list of very clear instructions and guidelines for the home ahead of time.  When we arrived she texted to make sure all was well.  Her home is clean and well stocked with items for travelers, many clean towels, water, coffee, etc.  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.  Thanks, Michelle!"
4463932,46131138,2015-09-08,13977178,Julian,"This was the perfect place for bouncing around town.  Walking distance to 6th Street & Rainey and a short ride to South Congress.  But best of all, the apartment was spacey enough to accommodate hanging out inside and privacy for everyone.  There were some WiFi hiccups but in all, this was a stellar spot to stay in; especially for groups."
4463932,46911867,2015-09-14,6885176,Jake,"My group stayed at Hotel Hardy for during a Texas football weekend for a college reunion. We could not have asked for more as Michelle's apartment met and exceeded our needs. The location is outstanding, as it is a walk away from many things downtown, and a short Uber ride to travel around the city. The apartment itself was very clean and set up perfectly.

I absolutely would recommend anyone to stay here."
4463932,47612808,2015-09-21,5162095,Wendy,"Michelle's Convention-side condo was PERFECT for our trip.  From the abundance of towel to the accessible location.  Every convention attendee was envious of our proximity and savvy location.  The parking, check-in and check-out processes were seamless and thought through.  Such a great stay in Austin, we wouldn't want to be anywhere else for this trip!"
4463932,48685706,2015-09-28,9361239,Emily,"The place was perfect for our group. Perfect location, clean, stocked with towels and ammenities. We had a great time. "
4463932,49772559,2015-10-06,38683145,Brent,"Our group (5 guys) went to ACL, stayed at Hotel Hardy and it was an amazing and awesome experience!!  Michelle maintained contact with us prior to the week of the rental, gave us all the instructions needed for our stay, and was a pleasure throughout.  

The location is awesome, you can't ask for a better place if you are visiting Austin and want to live some of the great attractions that it has to offer.

The kicker on this is that during our stay, I said to our party that ""Austin is the kind of place that if you lose your wallet, someone will hand it in for sure"".  Well, I left my bank card and what I thought was $100 bill in the apartment, and Michelle not only took the time to mail it back to me, but told me that it was actually $200!!  It warms me to know that there is good people left in this world!

We know we'll be back next year and we will jump on this location again if given the chance.

Thanks (again!!) Michelle for all your hospitality.

"
4463932,49983852,2015-10-08,5019416,Hannah,"Michelle was an excellent host!!  Her instructions were both welcoming and informative –– it was really easy to get settled, and with any questions we had she was very easily available to respond.

I would highly recommend Michelle's very cute, spacious and convenient apartment to other airbnb'ers!

"
4463932,50649308,2015-10-13,20220604,Billy,"My stay here couldn't have been better. My group was in town for ACL and the location and space was as good as it gets. Plenty of living space and all the amenities you could ask for. Location was perfect. Starbucks across the street, short walk to 6th, and all of our Ubers were less than $10 anywhere we went. Access was easy and Michelle was great at responding throughout the process. I highly recommend and would come back again. "
8212774,45914700,2015-09-06,29462786,Ruben,"Alexander's place was really great, a little different than your average bnb but for first time hosting it was perfect. Hope to come back next time we're in Austin."
8212774,47586320,2015-09-20,11126286,Dominic,"Great apartment, well located and a really good deal! Alexander was very good at communicating and all went v well. Thanks!"
8212774,47842995,2015-09-21,7286093,Sara,"The apartment worked out really well for our last minute trip to see Tritonal which was awesome, highly recommend seeing these dudes.  "
8212774,49494478,2015-10-04,42862620,Fernando,It was what I expected. 
8212774,52703767,2015-11-01,3815349,Louis,Alex is a great host and a genuinely nice guy. He was very responsive to things that needed attention and made himself available to me throughout my stay. I would recommend him as a host to anyone visiting Austin. Thanks Alex!
5362016,26961614,2015-02-22,12683732,Edwin,"Kevin was an amazing host.  He went well out of his way to make us feel comfortable during our stay, even picked up some groceries for us on our way in.  Our space in the duplex was private and tastefully decorated.  The bed was comfortable and had heating/cooling easily controlled from a window unit nearby.  This was a great value stay with a convenient location, nearby groceries and food, and easy drive downtown.  Great job Kevin!"
5362016,27292154,2015-03-01,27867227,Nancy,"Kevin was a great host! He went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. The home is clean, the bed was super comfortable and the space pretty big. Thank you Kevin more making our stay in Austin an exceptional one!"
5362016,27445726,2015-03-04,3231076,Franklin,Kevin is super dog friendly and his place is super comfortable. He was really responsive to messages. 
5362016,27672409,2015-03-09,27615010,T,"Kevin was the perfect host from the get go. He greeted us the minute we arrived and was helpful in providing activities and suggestions on what to do and see in Austin. 

The lodging was spacious and clean, with an awesome kitchen that made us feel right at home. We felt very comfortable coming and going. It was like having our own place in Austin, which made the trip ever more relaxing and fun. 

East Austin is an up and coming area with lots of bars, restaurants and galleries. While walking was a bit of a challenge (we still did it), with bikes you're minutes away from everything. The bus was also extremely accessible. 

All and all it was the ideal stay. "
5362016,27847027,2015-03-13,23663903,Kaitlin,"Kevin's place was in a cool, eclectic neighborhood that we enjoyed exploring. He was a great host--very welcoming, responsive and helpful throughout the stay. Beds were comfortable and he even provided us with delicious local coffee. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this place to other travelers!"
5362016,27912165,2015-03-14,23663903,Kaitlin,"I highly recommend staying here. Kevin was incredibly kind and helpful. The space was perfect for my friend and I to stay in while we were visiting for SXSW. There are lots of restaurants, coffeeshops, and bars within walking distance and it was only a $6 uber ride to downtown. Plenty of space, clean, and cozy. A great deal!"
5362016,28894153,2015-03-31,2260663,Ambrose,"Kevin was super nice and made us feel welcome.  We're Austinites who live nearby and rented this place for family members who were visiting.  Consequently we like the neighborhood.  The bedrooms were nice and the beds were comfortable.  It's an entirely contained apartment at the back of the house, but it's just two bedrooms (one of which doesn't have a door) separated by a small kitchen, which I wasn't totally clear about before we saw it, but worked out fine for our needs.  "
5362016,29591046,2015-04-09,28482920,Jacob,"Had a great stay. Kevin was very accommodating to our needs. He even offered to let us use his bikes! Nice quiet neighborhood, yet close to an array of awesome east side joints."
5362016,29747463,2015-04-12,6928657,Maegan,"The house is really close to downtown Austin, only about a $10 cab ride which is great if you don't have transportation. Kevin was very friendly and have a walk thru of his place to make sure we knew where everything was located and was available throughout the weekend in case we had questions."
5362016,30307346,2015-04-20,11770149,Ashley,"Kevin was an excellent host. Attentive and accommodating to our needs, for example he was able to arrange check-in and check-out according to our flight schedules, which was very much appreciated. His Cozy duplex was was quite large, more than enough space for 2 people and located in a nice, fast changing, east-side community.  Easy 5 to 10 minute uber ride to downtown. Kevin was nice enough to recommend some great places to visit as well as offer 2 bikes to get around the east-side. Close to several restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. 

We really appreciated his speedy response via email/text and would highly recommend this space.  "
5362016,30680265,2015-04-26,28583262,Hanna,"Kevin was very friendly and welcoming. The neighborhood is really nice and walkable - best breakfast tacos just around the corner at Marcelinos (thanks for the recommendation Kevin!) 

We were in town for a wedding and the venue was just down the street. Awesome place to stay for our first visit to Austin."
5362016,30947980,2015-04-29,5351187,Jonathan,"Excellent! Kevin was a delight. Made us feel welcome, offered us bikes, and had some helpful suggestions about Austin. Location is great for exploring the city."
5362016,31197171,2015-05-03,29823218,Nobiana,"Kevin welcomed me with open arms, he was great. He responded to all my phone calls in a timely manner and recommended some great places to visit in Austin. Overall the place was beautiful, but the kitchen and bathroom could use an update. "
5362016,33242624,2015-05-26,213066,Judith,"I would not recommend this property. It was not as stated in the description. The property location was more than a mile from town. The kitchen and bathroom (a large section of mold on ceiling) need a serious upgrade. The front door was hard to open due to a sticky key/lock. A little WD-40 would have probably solved the problem. Also, the roof in the living room leaked. The first time Kevin mopped it up. Ok, fine but when it rained again we had to get a vegetable bin from the refrigerator to catch the water that poured from the ceiling. Outside, the yard was littered with junk, old chairs etc. The cooler in the living room window was propped up by two pieces of wood and a bucket. Kevin seems like a nice man and he kept in touch but the property was not in good condition."
5362016,33887145,2015-06-01,7672810,Monet,"This cozy duplex was a great home away from home while I was visiting Austin. It is in a quiet neighborhood with lots of places to check out nearby. It was very affordable to take an Uber to and from this location to other places around town. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of delicious coffees as well as all the basics to cook a meal if you wanted to. The Google Fiber wi-fi was incredibly fast and there were clean, soft towels folded up ready for our use. I brought my two dogs along and there was a nice backyard that they enjoyed roaming around. Kevin was a very accommodating host! He gave us our privacy while also being available for suggestions if needed. We met him on the way out and he was friendly and enthusiastic about meeting us and the pups. "
5362016,34466790,2015-06-08,13974909,Nancy,"We got into Austin in the morning and Kevin was very accommodating about letting us come by early to drop off our bags. His place is in a older working class, predominantly Hispanic neighborhood that is beginning to get gentrified. The area has a friendly, family kind of feeling to it.  There is a church facility nearby and one night there was a big wedding and we enjoyed listening to the Mariachi band playing.  In our emails, I had mentioned that we were coffee drinkers and Kevin got us an amazing selection of all kinds of wonderful coffee beans. The house has a grinder and coffee maker, so that was nice. We were very comfortable in the apartment, but it is not for everyone. It seems like the renovation is only partly done, so fussy people who like everything perfect might have a problem with some things. We were there shortly after the terrible flooding rainstorms, so when I say there was a musty smell, I'm pretty sure that's why, but if you are sensitive, this may not the place for you, at least until Austin dries out. Our bed was super comfortable, fresh, nice bedding, good pillows. Lots of good towels. The bathroom is a little scruffy but the shower is great. Good water pressure, plenty of hot water. There was one bar of soap and a bottle of nice liquid hand soap, but no shampoo or anything. The two rooms with beds are painted in really nice colors, one has stars on a midnight blue background. Very pretty. The other, where we slept, has a nice dark brick-colored accent wall, highlighted by the blue curtains. Nice little pictures on the wall. There are two window air-conditioners that seemed to work well. In the main room there is a futon couch in addition to the bed, and a nice work table and chair. The appliances are old but seem to work fine. Kitchen has plenty of stuff for cooking, but no spices or anything. The outside area is pretty overgrown, again this is probably from the rain, but at night it can be a little spooky. There are several motorcycles and cars in the driveway and the front of the house looked kind of like a dorm patio, ashtrays and bottles. But ignore that because inside the apartment is much nicer. There is just a door between the main part of the house and the apartment but we only heard noise once, very briefly, early in the evening, and it was nothing. This place was perfect for us. It was quiet and comfortable. Every interaction with Kevin was friendly and he responded to texts and emails quickly. It's not fancy, it's a little funky, but I feel like it's a good value for people who are happy with a casual approach to life. "
5362016,34674863,2015-06-10,2732022,Brian,Excellent communication and a very roomy space. Convenient location. I will stay here again when I visit Austin. Very friendly. Kevin walked with me to the awesome taco shop up the road one morning and had plenty of recommendations. Highly recommended.
5362016,35097710,2015-06-15,32276441,Adina,"This was an excellent stay in East Austin! My friend and I stayed for two nights and had a positive experience and would highly recommend Kevin's apt to a friend. 

Very spacious, two bedrooms - one queen and one full - as well as a futon. The kitchen was small, yet perfect size. We used the organic coffee that Kevin provided - he asked what we liked and got a whole variety for us. He also provided milk after we asked for it. 

In addition, Kevin left us the local paper and let us know all the music venues going on around town. 
Kevin is a positive, kind and caring person. He loves Austin and enjoys to help others love it too. 

I would definitely return and stay here again! 
"
5362016,35752194,2015-06-21,12470444,Lisa,Kevin was a very gracious host.  I loved the East Austin location and all the cool shops and restaurants.  I was very close to downtown and also close to my Austin family.  The rooms were beautifully decorated and the art work was amazing.  The beds and the futon couch were very comfortable.
5362016,36835618,2015-07-01,36728114,Kathleen,"We had a great stay at the place while we were in Austin!  Kevin was very nice and accommodating and was quick to answer all my questions prior to arrival.  The location is great! Very close to the city.  The East Side is an awesome area. We had a rental car, so we were able to go to every which way with ease: downtown, south, north.  The apartment was nice. A couple things: there is no tv but who needs a tv anyway in Austin, right? Too much to do outside, it wasn't a real issue for us.  The only one bathroom was a teeny issue for the four of us in the mornings, etc but we knew that going in so no biggie really.  The kitchen was great.  No microwave but otherwise cool.  The internet was screaming fast so we loved that a lot.  Overall, the place was pretty nice and in a cool area, convenient for us to get around.  We would love to stay there again next time.  Thanks so much, Kevin!"
5362016,37209913,2015-07-05,35911123,Morgan,Great place to stay in Austin. Kevin was an awesome host! Duplex was exactly as advertised. Very roomy and comfy beds. East Austin location was easy to access and quick drive to downtown.  We would happily stay here again! 
5362016,38039532,2015-07-12,37000636,Jay,"Kevin helped us move our things in.  Very helpful, however we are familiar with Austin and knew what we were doing during our stay"
5362016,38654180,2015-07-17,2854890,Charlie,"Kevin was great and super helpful and accommodating. On top of being pet friendly, he also offered to take our dog out while we were gone. The spot is really close to downtown, but still feels very quiet and cozy. Would absolutely repeat and highly recommend, especially for pet owners!"
5362016,38885008,2015-07-19,20226039,Laura,"Kevin made me feel right at home, and had great communication leading up to and all during the visit. He accommodated my friend with an early check-in, and was definitely a great host. The space was very similar to described. It seemed to be reasonably clean, had great AC, comfy beds, and a full kitchen. I GREATLY appreciated the coffee that was there! The space was also SO close to East 6th street. Seriously, less than $5 to Uber to the strip where you can rent bikes or walk. The neighborhood was quiet, and not sketchy at all. I also appreciated the little touches of decor inside the space such as pictures, bright colors, etc. 

I could tell there was a small amount of renovating still going on in the house, but it was not in a walking path or causing too many problems. Overall, I would definitely come back to this listing. Thanks for hosting us Kevin!"
5362016,39352807,2015-07-22,37232394,Darren,"The place was clean, comfortable and quiet. After reading several reviews, I had a good idea of what to expect and I'd say they were pretty accurate. "
5362016,39851039,2015-07-26,32200655,Andrew,"Kevin was a very accommodating host.  Although we didn't communicate much, he gave us information about the rental in a very timely manner and even offered to chat with us about things to do in Austin.

Kevin's place was comfortable, but don't expect much more than what is specifically mentioned in the posting.  I booked this place because it had two beds, and my friend and I pretty much only used it to crash at night.

The place was very private and quiet.  The street is dark, and we got in late, so it was a bit difficult to find.  Once we found the place, it was a excellent place to recharge each night and was spacious enough to spread out."
5362016,40218119,2015-07-29,15284889,Alison,"Kevin was a very friendly and accommodating host. It was very easy to check in even though we got into town late at night. He provided coffee, toiletries and even bicycles. The place was just slightly run down but extremely cozy and comfortable. "
5362016,40648604,2015-08-01,38275037,Robert,I enjoyed my stay at the cozy east side duplex. Spent a couple days here and would stay again. Kevin made my friend and I feel welcome the whole duration of our stay. I would recommend this location for any urban creative. 
5362016,41005358,2015-08-03,16794351,Anna,"We had a fantastic weekend in East Austin. Super cute place, and when we checked in Kevin made sure we had everything we needed. The location is perfect, right down the road from lots of bars and restaurants. We were very happy with our stay!"
5362016,41505611,2015-08-07,2705411,Carly,Great!
5362016,41903004,2015-08-09,40713406,Sterlin,THe listing description was very accurate.  The house was great!  located on the East side of I-35.  It was cozy with a great vibe.  
5362016,42496426,2015-08-13,40795990,Lyzzie,"The apartment has its charm, spacious and cozy. We enjoyed the variety of coffee, the bikes and being 5 minutes away from downtown.
It's  only missing couple of things like a tv and a microwave and the outside could be improved. Expect from that we loved the time we spent there and would love to come back.
Thank you Kevin!"
5362016,43329686,2015-08-18,4505835,Amanda,Kevin was a great host and quick with communication. The place is just as he has described it. There is no microwave or television which wasn't a problem for us. It was a perfect location to get around the city quickly. Kevin offered up a couple of bikes for us to ride around the city if chose to as well. I would recommend this place to anyone or stay there again myself. 
5362016,45177139,2015-08-31,5166062,Alisha,"Kevin's place was comfortable and laidback. Located on a quiet street in the Eastside of Austin, Kevin shares the connecting duplex to his home. The interior is thoughtfully put together and Kevin provided towels, bathroom toiletries, and kitchen essentials. This was a lifesaving stop on my way to relocating to Austin because it's one of the few affordable Airbnbs that allowed my cat to stay! Thanks Kevin!"
5362016,46553766,2015-09-11,36656113,Samantha,Nice stay. No frills. Place was what we expected. Left coffee selection for us and bikes to use which was very nice!
5362016,47856791,2015-09-21,43538991,Itai,"I am sorry to say we found the place unsatisfactory, it was stuffy and there was no air circulation. We ended up staying 1 night and going to a hotel for the remaining 5 nights."
5362016,48625085,2015-09-27,31431980,Ben,"Kevin is an incredibly friendly host. He welcomed us, provided recommendations, and even invited us to accompany him to a festival in the neighborhood. The place is as it is described in the listing and the price is fair for what you get. The exterior is unkempt, but the interior is clean and comfortable. It's in a quiet neighborhood a bit east of all the action, but it's maccessible via lyft and Kevin was even generous enough to provide bikes and a large coffee selection. "
5362016,50430822,2015-10-12,20268333,Jaclyn,Kevin's place had everything we needed for a weekend trip. He was very responsive and helpful leading up to our arrival.  Uber and Lyft were really easy.  Fares were around $7 to downtown. Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Austin a few days. P.S. the coffee he left us was amazing!
5362016,51129928,2015-10-18,41870844,Jess,"Kevin was friendly and is on top of making sure that your stay is a good one. There was a variety of yummy coffees to enjoy, which was greatly appreciated. The space is exactly like the pictures show it - the only discrepancy is that this space has one bedroom, and then a bed in the living room area (so there aren't two closed off bedrooms). It worked great for the three of us that stayed there!"
5362016,51688216,2015-10-24,11004944,Melodye,"Kevin was a great host.  We emailed back and forth several times and he gave me some important information about Austin before I arrived.  Upon arrival he met me in person.  He was interesting and kind.  We had a great conversation, he had a nice list of restaurants, other things in town to do and he had copies of the local arts newspaper so I could check out the amazing music scene in town, as well as a nice map of where all the cool vintage shops were located.  He made us comfortable and very welcome."
2467428,18927890,2014-09-02,20621745,Joey,The unit was as described. Very easy going experience. 
2467428,20056024,2014-09-22,6562264,Shawna,"The price was amazing and the location was absolutely perfect! The little apartment was nicely furnished and cleaned. The sheets were clean and fresh and the towels were too. WiFi was awesome and they had a little Samsung tablet for us to use. The vacation rental service was very attentive to any questions I had.

There were only 3 issues we had with the place. First, the smell. Either the former tenant or the neighbor above/below smokes menthol cigarettes and loves the smell of Freesia. The unit smelled like my grandmother. Second, the email I received with all the rental information listed the wrong parking spot number. Luckily they have a 24/7 phone # and were able to give me the correct information after calling. Lastly, (and we are getting picky now) the latch strike on the door handle needed maintenance so getting into the unit required wiggling and finesse and several tries.

I will definitely recommend them and not hesitate to use the service again the future. "
2467428,22466925,2014-11-07,6324308,Chris,"There was a problem with my rental before I arrived, but Erica called and let me know. She moved me into another unit in the same building, which was good. The unit was very nicely decorated, modern, and fresh.

I had no issues with door codes, or gate codes. All Erica's communication was great. 

I would recommend this to anyone. "
2467428,26269181,2015-02-08,3094664,Ryan,"The room was just as advertised, which was great.  The team that manages all of this was excellent. My flight was canceled on the day I supposed to check in.  TurnkeyVR helped was able to work with me on making up the lost day even though they have ""strict"" refund/cancellation policies on AirBnB.  Overall positive experience."
2467428,26791009,2015-02-19,504560,Kumar,The rental went exactly as per communications and per expectations.  Communications were generally efficient except for the details which were informed a little late.  Place was very well kept and clean and well appointed.  More hangers would help.  Happy to rent again here or elsewhere.
2467428,28797176,2015-03-30,15179427,Brenna,"This was the perfect place for my girlfriends and I. The location is fantastic. Super walkable to everything in Austin. The size is great for 3 people but I wouldn't recommend any more than 3. It's a really cute condo and there are lots of friendly neighbors, some residents and other travelers. "
2467428,29854005,2015-04-13,29522061,David,"Excellent One bedroom with pullout sofa in the heart of downtown Austin.  Stayed for the 2015 US MotoGP weekend.  It is located on the second floor of a very clean and quiet, three story building and has a dedicated parking space. When you arrive, find a place to park or drop someone off to go up and get the remote for the parking area which is located behind the building.  The building has an entry gate and the condo has a push button lock, and both codes will be provided prior to your arrival. The unit numbering is a bit tricky so a pro tip – use the gate on the east side and the condo is just above the pool. 
The condo is very well kept; everything was clean and in working order. There is a washer/dryer and full kitchen.  Ton of restaurants and nightlife within 2-3 blocks. Royal Blue Grocery is one block south and open from 7am to midnight.  It is boutique, so you’ll pay a bit more but they are a great resource for food, wine, and other items you need. 
I recommend this condo to friends and would stay again while in Austin. 
"
2467428,30309486,2015-04-20,20890291,Julie,"This was a great apartment! Very clean, and well stocked. I would say that it fits two people comfortably, not 4, because the pull out couch wasn't very good. The other two people ended up sleeping on an air mattress we brought. Other than that, there were plenty of towels and amenities. Just bring ear plugs for sleeping - the windows are a little thin and sound carries. "
2467428,31394890,2015-05-04,32044342,Jessica,This was a great place to explore Austin! I would definitely go back and stay here again!
2467428,31985675,2015-05-12,31845876,Ashley,Perfect location and very clean rental. Erica was very responsive to all my inquiries and made my stay a breeze. Checking in and checking out was easy.
2467428,32762095,2015-05-21,29163108,Rachel,"This small condo was perfect for my stay in Austin. I was in town for a conference, and it did the job perfectly. Amenities were hotel quality, and I really liked having the comforts of home while on a business trip. The location is perfect - the convention center was literally across the street, and shopping, dining and music was all just a quick walk away. Thank you for a great stay!
"
2467428,40644045,2015-08-01,38343110,Felipe,The description of the apartment was accordingly and the apartment was very good. Very recommended!
2467428,52052485,2015-10-26,36089515,Adam,"Great place, close to convention center and downtown hotels.  Seems like lots of other airbnb units in the complex - makes for fun atmosphere."
2467428,52962100,2015-11-03,27447302,Jessica,"Didn't get to meet her but everything worked out nicely! Easy to get in, etc"
1677611,21278301,2014-10-14,17524851,Tl,"This was a clean, modern, very attractive place to stay, and looked exactly like the pictures. Extremely neat and professionally organized. It felt like a small hotel, with a fantastic rooftop deck overlooking the Austin skyline. Doug, the host, was quite helpful in accommodating our check-in and check-out times, which we really appreciated. He also provided coffee and milk in the morning--a very welcome detail. Great for a girls' weekend in artsy South Austin!"
1677611,28732067,2015-03-29,28374735,Rachel,"Doug was an excellence host, warm, kind and hospitable. He was flexible with our check in and out times due to travel circumstances beyond our control. The accommodates from the comfort level of the beds to the decorations made it feel like you were in a nice hotel. Loved the patios on the roof and in the backyard! If you want to stay close to downtown but have a feel like you are away from the noises of the city, stay a Doug's place! Don't forget to ask Doug for suggestions on places to eat or things to do. He is knowledgable with all the hot spots."
1677611,31469737,2015-05-05,171250,Benjamin,"Doug was a lovely host. He was super-accommodating and made himself very available (to the point that we called him after locking ourselves out [our fault] and he walked us through getting back in). He welcomed us in with a tour of his home and offered us a plethora of cold beverages to fend off the heat, which we then enjoyed with Doug up on the roof deck.

The accommodations were easy; hotel-like in terms of amenities and cleanliness, and I got the sense that if we needed anything at all, Doug would have it on hand.

My one note—and Doug states this super-clearly in the details, but we were super-hasty in booking and thus went by the photos alone—is that this isn't in fact an 'Entire Home.' That is to say, one is generously offered access to the entire home, but that home is shared. With lovely people, mind you! But, for example, one wouldn't feel right walking around in their underthings—that's just not very guestly—the way they might if indeed the house were truly theirs and theirs alone.

That said, we'd a lovely, carefree stay in the beautiful city of Austin, TX.

Many thanks, Doug!"
1677611,33252434,2015-05-26,3507918,Ellyn,"We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Doug's beautiful home. Doug was welcoming and very friendly and helpful.  The townhouse has a great feel to it, upscale, very clean and easy to relax and feel comfortable. Doug went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Thanks Doug!!"
1677611,35458532,2015-06-19,15898853,Nicole,"Doug's place is amazing! Each room has a very comfortable bed as well as a sitting/reading chair. The place was very clean, organized and well situated. We were able to easily access downtown Austin, South Congress and it wasn't very far from the university as well. 

Doug made us feel very welcome and was the perfect host. He gave us a couple of great restaurant/bar recommendations and we would be happy to stay there again!

Overall, a great place and a very friendly host. Thanks Doug!"
7763212,49659213,2015-10-05,5174414,Sara,This place was perfect for my weekend at ACL. Brittany left me a cute note with local coffee/food recommendations as well as left me some small travel size toiletries to lighten my load traveling to Austin. Her place was very cute and comfortable. She was also very quick to respond to to any questions I had at all via text message. I would definitely stay here again! 
7763212,52294879,2015-10-27,35873419,Michael,"This apartment was very nice, clean and bed was extremely comfortable. Very accommodating even though we booked last minute. The location is fantastic south Lamar has great bars and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again. "
7844028,43334476,2015-08-18,29518046,Roumayssa,I reserved John's room for my brother and he was really reactive in his response. John was always available to answer my questions! According to my brother the place was really nice and John is a friendly host ! I recommand :)
7844028,43728739,2015-08-21,5189453,Eve,"Great spot, relaxed host. Our dogs got on well! Would defiantly recommend!"
7844028,45446513,2015-09-02,40731940,Mark,John is an A+ host. Great location and wonderful price. Very clean room and restroom as well. Dogs got along great. Best overall Airbnb guest experience I've ever had. Stayed for a week and wish I could have stayed longer!
7844028,45636373,2015-09-04,35994052,Megan,Very gracious and welcoming host. The home had good vibes and was in a great location. Would DEFINITELY recommend this host! 
7844028,46007126,2015-09-07,1950074,Dustin,The room was as described.  John made the arrival easy and was non intrusive during my entire stay.  His friendly animals also made for a  fun welcome.  
7844028,46552794,2015-09-11,9684373,Michael,"I was in Austin for business, and saw Jonathan's place- centrally located and reasonably priced. That's what's so great about this place- it's definitely both of those things, but also Jonathan was just an all around great guy. It was in such a great location, I just parked my car and biked everywhere in the city from his place- and that was soo ideal in a city where parking is a pain!! Highly recommended!! Jonathan is awesome!!"
7844028,46682519,2015-09-12,24192374,Mike,"Cool little house, clean and comfy.  John was responsive and easy to work with.  Animals were very well behaved. Would recommend highly."
7844028,46947794,2015-09-14,1572033,Aimy,John was a really welcoming host. He was nice enough to drop me off at SoCo on my first day. I was mostly out of the house for family stuff but it's a great location and super affordable. The AC works and the bed is comfy so I was happy. There are also tons of Uber cars around at all (website hidden): Don't forget to close your door! I came out of the bathroom to find Whittaker (the dog) had my underwear in his mouth and a pile of my stuff on the living room rug. It was pretty adorable though.

7844028,50248497,2015-10-10,19419287,Kent,John was a good host. It's not a fancy place but it was clean and perfect for a good night's sleep at a reasonable price. 
7844028,50823434,2015-10-14,7412153,Josh,"Although brief, my stay with John was great! I showed up late from the airport and he was outside when my car pulled up. Was bummed that I didn't get to meet his dog, but John and the room were very nice. Notice a lot of Yoga paraphernalia in the apartment, but unfortunately didn't get a chance to chat about it as I had to leave quickly the next day. The area is nice and quite, but a short walk from some rad food trucks and great tacos (check out the taco spot across from polvos). "
7844028,52290173,2015-10-27,46881478,Ryan,John had a great place in a good location. Very helpful with the surrounding area

Would definitely stay there again and HIGHLY recommend!"
214795,700001,2011-11-07,1330190,Rachel,"Kristi's place is cute, comfortable and welcoming.  I would have given it 5 stars, but the location wasn't in the coolest part of town as her tagline indicated.  It is quite residential but is accessible to the downtown area via a bus that comes every 45 minutes or so.  

Thanks Kristi for a great place to stay!"
214795,834586,2012-01-03,1526114,Kathryn,"Kristi's place was a great jumping off point for exploring Austin and she was such a wonderful host. Her place was very easy to find and there was plenty of parking. She was also very open to being contacted if we needed anything. When we got into her home, she had provided us with a map with some key locations highlighted, a cable channel listing for the TV, a bottle of Champagne (we were there over New Years), and coffee. Her place was very cute, clean, and comfortable. She even tolereated our dogs (which they greatly appreciated!!) We would definately stay there again. My only complaint is that the hot water was a bit touchy, but that's not under her control, and she did warn us about it. GREAT PLACE!!"
214795,925002,2012-02-16,1613254,Maureen,We love Austin!  This was a great location for us because of the close proximity to our daughter's apartment and to the green belt.  Kristi left us a wonderful map with all the nearby street names so we never got lost and it was a short walk to the bus stop for transportation downtown.   We loved the quietness of the condo.  It was really cozy and we were very comfortable.  
214795,1001628,2012-03-15,339485,Stefanie,"We had a wonderful stay at Kristis place during SXSW. The area is beautiful, great bus connections on S. Lamar, nice coffee bar around & Kristi is very helpful & has all kind of tips ready for the traveler. Highly recommended! "
214795,1016338,2012-03-19,1313798,Shelby,Kristi was a great hostess!  Perfect location and just what we needed to make our stay even better.
214795,2633023,2012-10-16,129903,Crissy,Kristi was very accommodating and her place is a very cozy place to stay. She left us some amazing breakfast goodies and her bed is amazingly comfy. Thanks so much Kristi! We felt right at home!
214795,2922735,2012-11-19,3887840,Andy,"Kristi's condo was absolutely perfect for my stay. I was only in Austin for 5 days for F1, and arrived quite late on the 1st day, but the place was so welcoming from the outset. It was clean, tidy and in a perfect location - plus Kristi went the extra mile (several extra miles in fact) with some great goodies in the fridge for a weary traveller!! I had such an amazing stay, met some fantastic people - when I go back next year I will definitely be asking Kristi to stay again - if she'll have me!"
214795,3770904,2013-03-13,4105846,Joe,"Kristi was great.  Very organized and thoughtful.  Great communication on text and phone.  Nice place, great host."
214795,3832027,2013-03-19,1201293,Nella,"Perfect place to stay! So close to the Lamar bus, easy to get downtown and around.  Kristi is right, the Irie Bean coffee shop is a great way to start the day. "
214795,7914861,2013-10-08,7165857,Heather,"Kristi made my first Airbnb stay a great one. Her condo is extremely well-kept and she left so many considerate touches to ensure we'd have an awesome trip---walking directions to the park (we were in town for ACL Fest), a map of the neighborhood, nice fluffy towels, even snacks and essentials in the fridge, just to name a few! Wonderful place, wonderful host, highly recommended. "
214795,8113855,2013-10-16,8425769,Tony,"Accommodations were even better than expected. Neighbourhood and location was IDEAL for Austin City Limits and checking out South Austin. 

Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Austin. "
214795,8817013,2013-11-19,9354840,Jillian,We had such a nice time at Kristi's condo! The place was beautiful and in a fun area of town. We spent our first night just exploring the neighborhood and spent the next morning eating breakfast that Kristi had left for us. We were also able to easily walk downtown and cab back late at night for just about $10. Public transit from there was easy and hailing a cab was as simple as walking 3-4 blocks.
214795,12106298,2014-04-22,14444155,Andy,"We made a last minute decision to come to Austin for a weekend away, and ideally we wanted to take along our dog.   Most places couldn't accommodate us on short notice, but Kristi did so we were grateful.  It was such short notice that we didn't get any goodies in the refrigerator or perks like that, but the place was still very tidy.  It is a small, utilitarian space, perfect for relaxing after a long day of touring Austin by foot.  Little Zilker park is just across the street and the surrounding neighborhood is quite charming and active with cyclists, pedestrians and families out and about.  "
214795,22314617,2014-11-03,22216244,Jordan,"Kristi was very hospitable and represented her place truthfully. The location was excellent... Short distance from some local hangs, $6 cab ride from SOCO and a $12 cab ride from downtown Austin. Would definitely go back! Thanks Kristi. "
214795,28328223,2015-03-22,28304560,Jill,"This was a great place to stay during the SXSW conference! When I arrived, Kristi had very thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with some of my favorite breakfast foods, which lasted the entire length of my stay. Plus, she provided every toiletry you could possibly need! 

This neighborhood is very quiet at night, and the apartment stays cool on on warm days. The hot water is a little touchy; when I couldn't get it to work, I just waited a few minutes and tried again...that did the trick. 

If you plan to use the bus, note that you'll have to walk about a half mile to the nearest stop on South Lamar. 

Overall, I had a great time here and I would definitely come back! Thanks, Kristi!"
214795,49777832,2015-10-06,7165857,Heather,"This is the second time we've stayed at Kristi's condo! She's a gracious host who goes out of the way to make you feel welcome. All of the special care and details add up to a great experience. Kristi has all the bases covered---anything you need to know (logistics-wise) is organized in a nice binder along with menus, ideas for stuff to do nearby, etc. Wonderful Airbnb option for a solo traveler or couple looking for a ""home away from home"" in Austin."
214795,50439095,2015-10-12,37828942,Kelsey,"Kristi was a great host! She was easy to get in touch with and her condo was very clean! The condo is very centrally located, we walked home from zilker park and Barton springs  a few times and it is just a short couple miles to downtown. We had a great time! "
8540409,48665829,2015-09-27,44944501,Donna,"Kenny's place was great!  The location is prime, the bed was really comfortable, and it was super convenient to have a parking space included. The place was also clean and seemed safe since it's all gated. Thanks Kenny! Looking forward to another visit hopefully!"
8540409,49086829,2015-09-30,20474699,Nathaniel,"Kenny was great. The flat is in a really nice part of town with a lot of fun stuff in walking distance (restaurants, bars, etc). The place was well taken care of and felt really new and nice. Comfy couch too :)

I'd definitely stay again, thanks Kenny! "
8540409,49194046,2015-10-01,3463089,Scott,"This place was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend it and found it delightful and conveniently located. If you are going to Austin, this is a great place to stay for you trip : )"
8540409,49297332,2015-10-02,4463441,Stephanie,"This place was perfect! I needed somewhere with a location easy to get around Austin (nailed it), comfortable (so cozy) and hassle free. It's walking distance to 6th street and is super easy to get to restaurants, bars, everything! I was there for work, and this was right next to the convention center, which was perfect. Kenny was also so helpful and nice. Plus the furniture in the house was fun - all Texas themed, which was really cool."
8540409,49715329,2015-10-05,1810337,Mauricio,"The apartment is in the best location for exploring downtown, tow blocks away from 6th street. Apartment was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. What you see in the pictures is exactly how the apartment looks, which I really appreciate since not all the time the pictures you see in the post match the actual place. 
Another thing: someone was parked in our spot, so I called Kenny and he took care of the problem, by the next morning the car parked in our spot was gone. And he also offered another parking spot in the meantime.
I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in a great place with an unbeatable location."
8540409,50555624,2015-10-12,19863431,Mariah,"Kenny was a very welcoming host he answered all of my question before the trip began quickly and kindly! The neighborhood was amazing we absolutely loved the area. The place itself is very clean and cozy it perfectly accommodated my group for ACL. 2 blocks from 6th street- can't get better than that! I also had an issue with losing my keys before we were supposed to leave and Kenny was very accommodating and helpful in the situation! 

I would definitely recommend staying here for your next Austin adventure the location is perfect for anything you could want to do! "
8540409,50873008,2015-10-15,1658420,Sarah,Kenny was a great host . We texted him a few times with questions and he responded very quickly . The apartment is nice . Love the bed very comfortable . Everything is new . I also took advantage of the pool and  parking spot . I would highly recommend this place . 
8540409,50960616,2015-10-16,45321343,Kenichi,"Kenny truly went above and beyond our expectations as a host.   He was prompt and communicative when we wanted to check in earlier and check out later.   The place was comfortable,  clean and in an absolutely perfect ""walking distance to everything"" location.  Highly recommended!"
8540409,51371251,2015-10-19,30565466,Derek,"The apartment was perfect. Clean, well finished, and very well located for excursions throughout Austin. Kenny was very accommodating and made sure I arrived safely and had very thing I needed. Highly recommend and would stay again. "
8540409,52257493,2015-10-27,1793053,Dan,This was great! Kenny was super nice and very accommodating when I needed him (which was only once). The place is nicely furnished and was a really great place to stay for me and my friends. It was the perfect home away from home for a short trip to Austin :)
8540409,52860397,2015-11-02,25428475,David,"Lovely apartment, nice living room, equipped kitchen, spacious bedroom - everything was perfect. Location downtown, close to everything. Kenny was there in a few minutes when I arrived and called him as discussed, no complaints at all."
8540409,53101966,2015-11-04,46094905,Erin,"Kenny was super accommodating with my last minute request and responded and approved me almost immediately. I can not say enough how awesome this place is. Very clean, adorable and probably the best spot in the city. You can walk everywhere. The gated parking area and entrance made me feel secure about being somewhere new. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in austin . "
7052253,41690137,2015-08-08,39352787,Natalie,"I didn't have an opportunity to meet Kim during my stay but she was great about communicating and was available if I had any questions. Her room was perfect, very cozy and comfortable. The rest of the house was also very clean and welcoming. There was ample space in the fridge for any food I needed to store and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. The back yard was beautiful and made you feel like you were in a little oasis in the city! I would recommend Kim to any future traveler! "
7052253,42479971,2015-08-13,40784798,Iesha,I was welcomed very warmly. Kim went above and beyond to  make sure I was comfortable. The house has a warm friendly vibe with Kim's creative touch. 
7052253,44001548,2015-08-23,32931953,Christopher,"At Kim's quiet, yet lively, home, I greatly enjoyed my rented space, the pace of life around the home, and the wide range of amenities offered by Kim. (I'm sorry about causing your skillet to fall apart, Kim!) 

As fellow AmeriCorps service members, Kim and I shared good conversations and much laughter. 

Also, Kim's friendly dog, Ronnie, was a joy to be around!

For friendship and AmeriCorps housing / networking, I'm keeping in touch with Kim, now and into the future : )"
7052253,45144582,2015-08-31,17128586,Udit,"Kim was a delightful host, and her place was wonderful to stay at during my stay in Austin. It has easy access to various parts of town, is clean and very well maintained. The kitchen and living room areas have all the essentials for use, and the room itself was cozy and hospitable. Will definitely recommend for other stays."
7052253,45867416,2015-09-06,2358376,Kellie,"Kim was the best!!!
Such a pleasure to stay there...
Her help was beyond great!!!
Highly recommend her place!"
336042,1138145,2012-04-16,477608,Alan,"The house was wonderful and was able to fit everyone we had in our group comfortably. Location is great for getting to wherever you need in Austin. 

Lindsay and her husband were great in working with us to figure out a plan that worked for our group."
336042,1200569,2012-04-30,545406,Emily,"Lindsay's house in amazing and she is the perfect host!  The house fit our party of 7 comfortably and could have even house a couple more.  It was clean, bathed in natural sunlight, comfortable, well-decorated and fully stocked with all the regular supplies you'd expect, along with some wonderful surprises (chocolates, beer, etc.).    Check-in and check-out were a breeze and Lindsay is communicative, responsive and accommodating.  The area is quiet, but still close to things and a short taxi ride to the nightlife we wanted (West 6th St and Rainey St.).  I'd recommend Lindsay's place to anyone.  "
336042,1241283,2012-05-07,2072756,Patrick,"A great little house and very accommodating host. Lindsay made our stay easy and convenient. We rented both units, and with 9 of us, things were quite cozy but still comfortable. 

Location was ideal. There are a number of great spots in walking distance and we could call a cab to get anywhere else we would want to go in the downtown area for less than 10 bucks. 

Great house, great host!"
336042,1341340,2012-05-24,2232809,Andrea,"The house was lovely and Lindsay was extremely helpful and always accessible. We were a family of six and stayed for 7 days. There was tons of space, the area was clean and had all the basic necessities. The house is located extremely close to downtown so getting to places was never an issue. I highly recommend it. "
336042,1555550,2012-06-25,1491309,Mary & Emil,"In short, the house and Lindsay were awesome!  The place is sunny, spacious and conveniently located to anything you'd want to do.  Lindsay was super friendly and helpful.  We're definitely planning to book this house again for our reunion next year!

Great price, great home, great town, what more can you ask for?"
336042,1641524,2012-07-06,2402295,Ernest,"The house is very comfortable and well located. You are within two blocks of a popular coffee shop (Austin Java), Einstein Bagels, a juice bar, and other shops. You're also 6 blocks from the flagship Whole Foods (to the south) and a neighborhood Fresh Plus (to the west). It's 15-20 mins by foot to the Capitol and to the west downtown entertainment districts (4th St. warehouse district and the growing West Sixth area), while ever-popular East Sixth is just a bit further away (a short cab ride). The house has spacious living rooms with really nice TVs if you decide to have a night in, and the beds are very comfortable. Lindsay is very easy to work with. I would definitely stay at her place again."

Coming back for sure :)"
336042,1976265,2012-08-13,3151666,Jenna,Lindsay's house was everything we could have wanted for our weekend get away! We had a pretty large group but all were very comfortable. Lindsay was very flexible and responded quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to make it back soon.
336042,2039133,2012-08-20,1578026,David,"Lindsay's property was amazing! Spent a long weekend there with high school friends for an annual vacation. Spacious, cool decor, very Austin. Neighborhood was nice and quiet but was within very close walking distance of some good food (highly recommend 24 Diner), shops, and the 6th street scene. Would go back in a heartbeat."
336042,2196643,2012-09-04,3095849,Matthew,"We had a great time during our stay in Austin.  Lindsay made everything so easy.  The house was neat and clean, and everything was exactly as she described.  I'd definitely look to stay here again on my next trip to Austin.  Thanks Lindsay!"

336042,2469227,2012-10-01,3292465,Pooja,Lindsay was a wonderful host!  The house was very clean and well-decorated.  It was in a great location too- a nice neighborhood and very close to all of Austin's main attractions.  We had a wonderful time with our guests!  Everyone had plenty of room and there were two great hangout areas.  We highly recommend Lindsay- she was easy to work with and always returned our messages within a few hours time!
336042,2527912,2012-10-07,355134,Jerry,"This house was exactly what I was expecting. It was clean, well kept and just as advertised. I would definitely rent it again. "

336042,2863431,2012-11-12,3630770,Octavio,"This was my first time renting with AirBNB and its amazing how smooth the entire process was. Lindsay was incredibly timely with all her responses. If I ever had any questions, she made sure to message me back with an answer very fast. 

The place itself was amazing! It was perfect for our group of friends. I highly recommend this place and would re-rent it in a heart beat for another get together.  

Did I mention their is a small parking lot in the back and a long driveway for everyone's cars?? That was a nice touch."
336042,2928184,2012-11-20,1326358,Michael + Ashley,Lindsay was a very easy and wonderful host to work with! In fact.... I actually got engaged during my stay in Austin and it was so nice to come back to her beautiful home that was close by. She is the best!
336042,2962896,2012-11-26,2723250,Candice,"We rented from Lindsey during my cousin's wedding weekend.  The house was perfect for our group and our stay was great.  Lindsey made check in and check out easy and effortless.  After experiencing the exact opposite during the weekend that I stayed in Austin for the bachelorette party, she will be my first call the next time we need a place to stay in Austin. "
336042,3153966,2012-12-25,1985009,Pamela,"We rented both floors  which worked out perfectly for our family. The place is clean and peaceful. As an added plus, the second floor has a beautiful view of  the downtown skyline.The home is in a great location-it's an easy walk to the capital, neighborhood dinning, and coffee shops but far enough away that you really feel like you are living in Austin. The area is quiet but within a short drive to music venues. Lindsay is very helpful and easy to reach for anything you may need."
336042,3522723,2013-02-11,499077,Tony,"My 4 roommates and I had a great time! The house is perfect both in size and location (20 minute walk from downtown), and Lindsay (the host) was very flexible in making sure that everything would be ready despite our last-minute booking."
336042,3592189,2013-02-20,1646377,Robyn,We had a great time staying at Lindsay's place.  We were down there for a girls birthday trip and had 7 girls in total.  We had easily enough place to sleep (very comfortable beds) and the place was very clean.  Loved the location and it's proximity to downtown (about a 5 minute cab ride away) and a safe (and gorgeous) neighborhood.  I would highly recommend staying here and Lindsay was a great host.  Everything went smoothly!
336042,3684180,2013-03-04,4692607,Henry,"Lindsay was great, highly responsive and helpful during our stay in Austin.  She was very flexible with our arrival and departure times as well. The accomodations were very nice and had every amenity we needed.  Would definitely stay again."

336042,3904134,2013-03-26,4667290,Dennis,"We just returned from Austin last night and Lindsay's Austin Downtown Retreat was indeed a treat. We were a party of six adult males in town to watch the NCAA basketball games. The house is old, but everything was in good condition, and clean. We appreciated the big screen TVs for the late games on our off nights. The location was good, with a good blend of restaurants and bars within walking distance, 2 breakfast places right around the corner, and grocery stores nearby. With the bus stop at the corner (we did not need to rent a car), we were able to get to the campus and other sites very easily. The neighborhood was quiet and well maintained. I would not hesitate to rent again."
336042,4073280,2013-04-08,2796133,Saeeda,"This house was perfect for the week we spent in Austin. All of us got to experience Austin how you should, being so close to everything. When we visit, I would totally stay here again. 
Thank you Lindsay!"
336042,4162470,2013-04-15,203241,Marlon,Lindsay's place was great to stay at and the four seperate bedrooms made it easy for every one to have a place to retire to at the end of the night. It is close to a lot of amenities and the park nearby made for a great morning run. Highly recommend. 
336042,4468687,2013-05-07,4323420,Vicky,"Its the perfect house for a group of friends.  It had a lot of character, it was very comfortable, and was in a wonderful location.  I cant imagine a better host, Lindsay was so quick to respond and very sweet.  Would most definitely stay again if the opportunity came up! "
336042,5173766,2013-06-17,4834802,Michelle,"What a perfect spot! Stayed here with 7 other girls for a reunion/bachelorette party. We were able to walk to Whole Foods for groceries and were just a short cab ride away from everywhere else we wanted to go. The decor was perfectly lovely (more than one of the girls mentioned that they wanted Lindsay to decorate their homes as well) and Lindsay made the whole process, from booking months ago to check out this weekend, easy and stress free. Looking at the pictures of the house makes me a little homesick! Thanks, Lindsay!


"
336042,7428108,2013-09-19,3215476,Keith,"I piled in 6 of my staff into this house during a business trip to Austin. Wifi, plus ample amounts of sleeping areas left us all feeling comfortable and refreshed. Great house!"
336042,7689059,2013-09-30,1870457,Kara,"Adorable house in a very nice, quiet neighborhood - but close enough to all the fun stuff! We had a flawless visit. Lindsay was very responsive and accommodating. Two thumbs up!!!"
336042,7976682,2013-10-11,4636349,Renee,"We were a party of eight and occupied both sections of the duplex. The house had everything we needed.  The location was great for ACL (approx 30 minute walk to Zilker Park) and close to lots of great amenities.  

Lindsay was quick to respond to all communication before and during our stay.  She was easy going and the whole transaction was a breeze.  

We would absolutely stay here next time we're in Austin. 
"
336042,8247705,2013-10-22,5206907,Christy,"We loved this place.  We want to live here.  I never knew I could love Austin like this.  We could just walk around the corner to coffee and great food.  And our lodging was like having two whole houses to spread out in.  Thanks for a great stay.   
"
336042,8491589,2013-11-02,3805531,Omi,"We had a great time staying at the house. The logistics were very easy and the house is big and airy. Very close to downtown and there was enough parking space for everyone (2 in the driveway and a few more on the road).

I'd definitely book again for a group. "
336042,10418632,2014-02-18,411867,Pete,"Lindsay's place was perfect for a large group of people, with lots of private space and nice showers. Check in and out was really easy and though we never met Lindsay she made the entire process seamless. "
336042,10681478,2014-03-03,11263584,Lindsay,"This was the perfect location! We were within walking distance to several good restaurants, and a running trail that led to the lake was only 2 blocks away. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8. There were plenty of towels and extra blankets. If I ever need to rent a home in Austin again, I would definitely rent this one."
336042,10917110,2014-03-13,2769818,Anna,We had a fantastic stay in Austin! The house was just what we wanted/expected and Lindsay was a perfect host - quick at responding and very accommodating. We would definitely come back and would absolutely recommend this listing! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
336042,12006651,2014-04-21,9371778,Matt,"Great place with great location.  Lindsay was exceptionally accommodative.  No problems whatsoever.  

Couldn't have asked for more."
336042,12301675,2014-04-28,2582491,Matt,Didn't get to meet Lindsay face-to-face but the entire process of booking the house was very easy and pleasant. Had a great weekend! 
336042,12559724,2014-05-05,13989731,Brandon,"This is a fantastic apartment. We had 8 people and all slept very comfortably. It is in a great, quiet neighborhood within an easy walk of downtown."
336042,13006341,2014-05-17,6261677,Allison,We could not have asked for a more perfect house for our recent trip to Austin. We did not get to meet Lindsay personally but she was more than helpful and very friendly. The house was immaculate and super comfortable with tons of space for all 7 of us. I continue to enjoy cooking while I travel rather than eat out every day and there were tons of pots and pans in the kitchen and even coffee on the counter for us! The backyard boasts a mini bamboo jungle getaway which was really cool. The location was outstanding and in walking distance to multiple restaurants and stores along with the huge graffiti wall just two block away. We hope to stay in Lindsays house again when we come back to Austin!!
336042,13355252,2014-05-26,14084678,Stephanie,"This place was perfect! We shared the house with a group of friends while attending a wedding in downtown Austin. The house was within walking distance of everything (venue, rehearsal dinner, 6th street) and was very neat and clean. Lindsay was super helpful and always responsive to our questions. Would definitely recommend staying here!"
336042,16060267,2014-07-21,14090770,Daniel,"Lindsay's house was absolutely PERFECT. It was plenty of room for eight guys, with great common space. The location could not have been better for walking to 6th Street or quick rides to Rainey Street and other areas of the city. Lindsay was extremely helpful and communicative, and graciously received an important package for me a week before the rental. The house was also stocked with plenty of bathroom supplies and towels. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to have fun in the great city of Austin!"
364025,3838499,2013-03-19,5048749,Laurent K.,"Stayed at adriana's for Sxsw '13. The location is absolutely perfect. Walking distance to 6th street, minutes to the biggest Wholefoods in the world and 24h diner.

Studio was not big. It can accomodate 6, but you'll be squeezed. I would have liked some basic kitchen ware, like a microwave, or some plates/utensiles.

The host was awesome. She prepared beers and bubbly wine for our arrival + some snacks.  She was also super flexible on check out time. 

I absolutely recommend this place to anyone, especially for SXSW."
364025,10883370,2014-03-11,1475075,Joel,"Adriana was fantastic - everything was set up for us, and she even left some snacks and a 6-pack.  The apartment was walking distance to the action, and was a perfect spot for SXSW. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
364025,28413889,2015-03-23,8859227,Beth,The apartment is super convenient to 6th street and just far enough away and enjoy the peace and quiet that SXSW sometimes doesn't offer!  I was thoughtfully awoken each morning to the cooing of morning doves and the cool breeze off the balcony got me up and going.  The apartment while small provided enough room for me and it was fine. 
364025,49768319,2015-10-06,35811357,Ashton,This apt. Is perfect for anyone who enjoys a quick walk downtown. The kitchen is nice to make a quick meal. Adriana is great she was both helpful and nice.
593102,2977969,2012-11-27,3490620,Lisa,Very nice house. Very comfortable.  Lori is very easy to work with.
593102,3763842,2013-03-12,830868,Brendan,"Lori is awesome and her house was the perfect pad for SXSW.  We squeezed 8 people into this house and it was fantastic.  The house was spotless and there were beds and/or couches for all of us.

Right around the corner, there are some great mexican restaurants, which are perfect for a breakfast burrito.  Downtown Austin is just a quick $12 cab away, so you can easily get down there to see what the city has to offer.

I'd highly recommend Lori's house going forward.

3539968,17324233,2014-08-10,7386137,Jennifer,"Allen's garage apartment was exactly as described. Fantastic location, easy parking, every need considered. More than enough space for me traveling on my own and would be plenty for a couple too.  Allen was available but I had 100% privacy. Didn't in any way feel like I was in someone's back yard! Perfect quiet treehouse."
3539968,17547437,2014-08-13,80527,Kenneth,"Nice apartment - clean, convenient and well designed. That boys got style!"
3539968,17887633,2014-08-18,8944425,Lydia,"Allen made us feel totally welcome by giving us everything we needed to know in advance so it was a breeze to stay and we weren't left trying to guess the wifi password. The second-floor space is super cool, clean, and comfortable, with plenty of space and amenities (powerful ceiling fans!), and cool art on the walls, which is always a plus for me. I didn't get to meet Allen, but based on his artwork and other personal decorations he seems like an awesome dude! He was very responsive to my questions. Everything looked brand new, including the appliances, bathroom, and furniture. Ultimately, we chose to stay here because of the neighborhood, which was quiet and artsy but just a short walk to the bars on East 6th street so it did not disappoint. All in all, it was a comfortable place for an overnight stay with easy access to all the fun stuff nearby! Would definitely recommend!"
3539968,18383498,2014-08-25,1618236,Dale,Allen's place was just as described and in a great quiet location in East Austin.  Even though I never got to meet him everything from the booking response and instructions on how to get there and get into the apartment made the whole experience trouble free.  Almost had all the amenities of a hotel save a wake up call.  Would definitely stay there again.
3539968,18452978,2014-08-26,10350753,Olivia,Allen was communicative and prompt with his responses. The place was very clean and well kept.  Comfortable bed and great couch. We would stay here again. 
3539968,18902064,2014-09-02,19757662,Daniel,The apartment was awesome and very welcoming with cool style.  We were able to talk to Allen a little bit and he seems like an interesting guy.  The location was great and close to quite a few things.  We'd definitely stay again.  
3539968,19269808,2014-09-09,18160342,Kevin,great location neat and tidy owner was nice and very accomadating smooth check in and out awesome place to stay great location would definitely stay there again if available next time im in austin no problems what so ever with anything it was my first airbnb type expierence and it was a great one thank you again
3539968,19694928,2014-09-16,15523798,Diego,"My stay at Allen's was just as I expected... The place looks exactly as it is on the photos and description, pretty clean and cozy! Excellent weekend! Thank you!"
3539968,19891534,2014-09-20,8943283,Lauralie,I stayed one night in Austin at Allen's place. It was really easy to find and really easy to get to. The place was really comfortable and had fast wi-fi which was essential for a little time working. We walked to breakfast close by and drove to sixth street for dinner. The place was really clean and was quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay again!
3539968,20019972,2014-09-22,758924,Bryan,"Great location, very short cab ride or drive to downtown. Checkin and keyless entry was super easy.  Allen was always quick to respond to emails leading up to the trip, and checked in on us once we had arrived to see if we needed anything."
3539968,20247771,2014-09-26,6444711,Emily,"I had a wonderful stay in Allen's East Austin apartment. Weeks before my arrival, I knew Allen would be a lovely host as well. He prepared me with all the information I needed to know in advance, and there is a welcome book just inside the door upon arrival. (He even put up with my texts moments after landing in Austin, forgetting that there was code access to the house and worrying how I would get in!) His apartment was clean and had all the necessary amenities. (A large TV is a luxury for this NYC gal, so I enjoyed watching latenight talk shows on his comfy couch.) There is a bus station just around the corner from Allen's place which I used to get around the city without a car, though I would not advise walking alone late at night in the immediate area. East Austin is still in development. Thanks for a great stay, Allen! I would definitely return."
3539968,20522092,2014-09-30,6500264,Heidy,Great place and location. Just as advertised. Fantastic communication with the host. Will repeat next time.
3539968,20654220,2014-10-03,20712692,Christina,"My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cold Steel Manor!  

Right from the beginning, Allen was very communicative and we felt cared for from our initial booking all the way through to our departure.  A welcome packet was emailed prior to our visit, and a binder full of pertinent info greeted us as we opened the door.  In our experience, Allen was pretty hands-off during our actual stay (we didn't get to meet him, but his cat came by one night for an impromptu petting session [prrrrr!]), but it was made clear that he could be reached and would promptly respond if any need should arise.  

Allen's Cold Steel Manor is exactly as described and pictured!  We made great use of the full kitchen (refrigerating and reheating pounds [plural] of brisket from Franklin BBQ), the central A/C and ceiling fans (operated by remote, fancy!), and the hot showers (the water pressure was impressive!).  We even took advantage of the record player and small record collection, playing some Beatles LPs during our down time (vinyl party!).  We were also intrigued to find instruments set up in the living room area and my musician boyfriend took to tuning the banjo straight away.  Unfortunately, I could not figure out how to work the mouth harp, so our dreams of starting a down-home jug band while on vacation in Austin were dashed.  Next time we will bring our own jug for me to play (Note to bookers: BYOJ).

Cold Steel Manor is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, but just as described is about 1 mile from the heart of Downtown Austin.  We found that everything we were interested in doing during our stay was just a short drive away, and it was nice to head out in the morning knowing you could stop back at the Manor between events/site seeing without it being a hassle (or a long drive).  

Our stay at Cold Steel Manor was everything we hoped it would be, and we would book with Allen again without hesitation!"
3539968,20950676,2014-10-08,19754378,Nicole,"Clean, modern studio apartment in a location that was an ideal place from which to base our Austin exploration.  It was a short walk to several bus stops served by multiple bus lines, making it easy to get around without a car.  The area had some excellent places to eat and get some very tasty cocktails. The apartment had plenty of dishes, knives, etc. to cook with, although we mostly ate out because it was our vacation. Allen kindly added a coffee press after my inquiry (coffee dependent person here) which was a very nice thing to do.  Host was prompt in response to inquiries via text message, and provided good suggestions. "
3539968,21281573,2014-10-14,19231521,Kristina,"We had a great time in Austin and our host, Allen, made us feel very welcome. The place was clean, organized and comfy. We also appreciated how modern the studio apartment was - air conditioning, fans, Netflix/Pandora on the TV, full kitchen, a warm shower -- these were pleasant things to return to after spending all day at the ACL music festival!
Allen was also attentive and responded quickly when we had an issue with the shower (and fixed it right away!). 
My only feedback for future guests is if you want to go downtown (Rainey St or 6th St or over to Zilker Park) is to rent bikes, a car or prepare to Uber it . We walked a few times to these areas but it was quite a hike! There are a couple of restaurants/coffee shops a 1 mile away, however, which were great and easy to walk to.  
Also! There is a rooster in the neighborhood that will wake you up at sunrise! Closing the windows before bed helped, though, and the second morning we barely heard him :)
"
3539968,21520718,2014-10-19,9707537,Neiko And Cameron,"Allen's place is clean and comfortable. It looks exactly like the photos. Allen is easy-going and  friendly. We arrived to Austin late at night due to the delay of our flight, it is a bit hard to find the apartment because there's no street lights around that area. I think there's not a lot of street lights in Austin overall. 

 Thank you very much for letting us to stay at your lovely place!"
3539968,22018065,2014-10-28,4632465,Emily,"Great apartment in a perfect location for our visit. The place was just what we were looking for - spacious, clean, and in a great location out of the center of the action, but still accessible to get downtown and to the trail that runs along the water way. We didn't see Allen while we were there but he was available via text/email to answer any questions we had. Overall great stay and I would definitely come back!"
3539968,22646690,2014-11-11,5151579,Tara,"Allen's place was the perfect East Austin apartment. 15 minutes walk from red river st/downtown. 
Allen was super communicative and the apartment was perfectly placed for neighborhood hangs, just wish we'd had longer! "
3539968,22896782,2014-11-17,22176859,Ann,"Allen was great about communicating. His place was tidy, with character, and contained everything you could need. Exactly as portrayed and more. "
3539968,23320189,2014-11-29,11558906,Alex,"This is a great place to stay when visiting Austin. We loved being walking distance to East Austin's bars and food trucks and not too much further from the city centre. The place is exactly as it appears, spacious and well fitted out with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Allen is a friendly and responsive host and I'd highly recommend this as a place to stay. Thanks Allen for having us!"
3539968,23514261,2014-12-02,7951672,James,"Allen was great, responded quickly to questions about apt, place was spotless, I can't recall a nicer space, roomy, uncluttered but not empty. Hike and bike trail was about 3-4 blocks from the door perfect, just a few minutes by car to SoCo and Barton Springs. Terrific place, looking forward to returning. Maybe not as tone-y a neighborhood as Hyde Park or Clarksville but quiet, friendly area."
3539968,23757399,2014-12-09,5042000,Lindsey,"Being from Dallas, I have been an Austin regular visitor for about 11 years now. This trip raised the bar thanks to Allen's place and my boyfriend and I are already planning on booking the garage apartment for our next trip. Allen was quick and helpful from the start. I got a response within minutes from the beginning. I requested to book the room and everything was done and finalized within a couple of hours (with my questions answered). The apartment is exactly how it is pictured and is also incredibly clean. We loved everything about the place, especially the sleep number bed- that I did not want to get out of. It was very clean, quiet and we had complete privacy. We liked staying on the east side and there was plenty of yummy places to eat/drink at within walking distance. We decided to explore and walked to downtown, which was a fun walk and only took about 30 minutes. Uber was only 6-8 dollars to get anywhere we wanted from the apartment which was great. It was also very impressive that all the driver knew all about Allen's pad and even remembered to pick us up in the alley. Allen's backyard also has a cool vibe and one perfect parking spot for us. Having wifi and netflix was great to have at night. Needless to say, we could have stayed in the apartment for a month and not missed home. You won't regret staying here, it's the perfect location and has everything you need. Allen is a very helpful host and his cozy place will make you feel like you're at home."
3539968,24822054,2015-01-03,22058050,Kristin,"Great space!  Super comfortable bed, everything you could possibly need or want in a warm, modern cozy space.  Located in the hip East side of downtown Austin it's close but quiet at night. We will definitely stay again!"
3539968,25151225,2015-01-07,2356943,Serena,"Allen was always quick to respond and check-in/out was super easy. The place is cozy, the sofa and bed are comfortable, you wouldn't even know you were above a garage. Neighbourhood is quiet but close to some excellent taco spots. Uber made it easy to get around the city (less than $15 for most places we went to).

You have to parallel park in front of the garage area, bit tricky if the car is large, it's a tight space and there are no outdoor lights in the evenings. 

The common areas were clean and probably would be fine for most. But  upon further inspection we were slightly disappointed that the window sills, bathroom mirror, closet, and the area under the bed were filthy. "
3539968,25354138,2015-01-13,21787128,Andy,"Allen was very communicative and easy to work with both before and during my stay. He was very helpful throughout - he went above and beyond all expectations! He offered extra storage for my bikes without me even asking. 
The apartment itself was very nicely appointed - definitely not cheap things just to tick a box. The bed was very comfortable, and the other amenities were more than I expected.
While the location may seem a little rough as you're headed there, it's actually quite a good set up. Just a bit off the beaten path and never a hint of any security concern.
I can't say enough good things about the place or Allen - just a great experience all around!"
3539968,27250153,2015-03-01,23422518,Jennifer,"This is such a great place, I highly recommend it! The apartment has everything you need, is well stocked and is comfortable. It's a really great location, close to everything. Allen is really helpful, but not intrusive, exactly what you would want. Enjoy!!!"
3539968,27724037,2015-03-10,4463539,Kris & Brian,"We loved staying at Allen's! His place was comfy, clean, cozy, and in a great neighborhood close to a lot of local sights. We felt like we got a true ""keep Austin weird"" experience staying there. We enjoyed trying out nearby bars and food trucks, listening to records at his place, and checking out the awesome books, comic, and zines (not to mention admiring the beard award trophies) in his collection. Oh, and did we mention there's a banjo and an adorable cat who made a brief visit?  He was easy to coordinate with and friendly when we briefly met during arrival. Highly recommended!"
3539968,28121721,2015-03-18,26218763,Claudia,"What a treasure! We had such a comfortable stay and communicating with Allen was so easy. He was so kind and even welcomed us with life-changing coffee & recommendations for the best dinner in all of Austin (Launderette -- 2 blocks away!). The unit is exceptionally clean with really great amenities (ladies, there's a hair dryer!). The unit looks identical to how it looks in the photos and with a Nest thermostat and full kitchen, makes it super comfortable to stay in. Location is very close to downtown and even allowed us to explore other parts of Austin we would have never seen. Absolutely loved it and would love to come back. "
3539968,28306580,2015-03-22,2995993,Michael,"Great place for our long weekend in Austin! Comfy bed and couch, great kitchen and the living room even a record player. Only met Allen briefly but really nice fellow. Recommended."
3539968,28723073,2015-03-29,27327864,Neela,"Clean, cozy and comfortable stay at Cold Steel Manor. Allen was a great host and was available if we needed him but gave us our privacy which was great. The location's proximity to everything couldn't be beat. We really felt at home and would highly recommend staying here. "
3539968,28872336,2015-03-31,24385330,Simone,"Allen's listing was even better than looks in pictures. It was comfy, cute, clean, and in a great neighborhood! I would be happy to stay there again. "
3539968,29098515,2015-04-04,22297860,Andrew,"This place was great! A clean, modern, private space. Well decorated and fully equipped. Allen made sure everything was just right. I'd stay here again for sure. "
3539968,29908514,2015-04-14,3584446,Rosey,"The check in to Allen's garage apartment was the easiest I've ever had. The door has a code he sent us, so we could come and go as we pleased without worrying about a key. The garage apartment was clean and cozy and perfectly located. The sheets were exceptionally soft! We are private people, so this place was perfect for us. We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. "
3539968,30205153,2015-04-19,28587654,Corbin,"Allen's garage apartment was exactly as described and shown in the photos, and perfectly accommodated our needs during our 3 night stay in Austin. My girlfriend was also a big fan and we enjoyed the convenience of 5-10 minute Uber rides to downtown and UT campus. This was our first trip to Austin and we sought an authentic living experience as we will be moving in July; Cold Steel Manor provided this to the fullest extent and if you want to really experience East Austin, it is ideal. Allen was quick to respond to texts and provided us with a couple of spot on dining recommendations. Overall, a 10/10 experience. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in ditching the hotel stay for a true taste of this incredible city."
3539968,30402090,2015-04-21,27830524,Katherine,"Allen was such a great host! From the moment I requested a booking all the way until we left, Allen made sure I was always well informed and ready for my trip to Austin. His garage apartment is so incredibly comfy and inviting - I would live there myself! He keeps the place extremely clean and it feels like you're staying at a friend's with a full kitchen available. I would absolutely recommend this place!"
3539968,30778600,2015-04-27,27672233,Janna,"The Cold Steel Manor is the perfect place to check out amazing east Austin. Allen’s garage apartment is excellent, from its furnishings and artwork to the lovely bright windows flooding the place with light. The place was clean and fresh with a helpful guidebook letting you know everything you would need to know about the place. Allen was never far away on his cell phone to answer any questions we had and his guidebook available on the Air BnB site offered some amazing recommendations for bars/restaurants on the East side of the city. "
3539968,31197157,2015-05-03,23422667,Reagan,"Alan was an excellent host!  He was very quick to respond to email/text and was full of excellent recommendations.  The location couldn't get much better.  The apartment was exactly as pictured and was a very comfortable place to unwind and chill when you're not exploring the city.  My only critique was that I wish it was a little cleaner when we arrived (i.e. bath mats were not washed and there were small signs of previous guests)...but that's coming from a total neat freak who is very picky about hotel cleanliness.  For the duration of our stay (a week) I also wish we had more than just two bath towels.     Those two things aside, we would totally stay here again and would recommend it to others!"
3539968,31590156,2015-05-07,6930259,Kevin,"Allen's apartment in East Austin was amazing.  Spacious, clean, awesome space.  I'll definitely be back."
3539968,31939362,2015-05-12,4549105,Hayden,"Allen's place is fantastic. It has everything you need and was in a great location for us as it was on the right side of town for us to get to The Levitation festival at Carson Creek Ranch, as well as being close to a couple of great vegan restaurants being Mr Natural and Counter Culture , both on East Cesar Chevez. Allen was really friendly and most helpful with recommendations, and a good communicator. We highly recommend staying with Allen. "
3539968,32332846,2015-05-17,29187294,Meg,"Allen's apartment was great! It was clean, comfortable, and exactly like it looks in the pictures. Allen was easy to communicate with and even let me store my luggage between checkout time and my flight home. 
I took the bus a lot, which was just a short walk from the apartment. Later at night, I preferred to take uber. An uber was $5-7 from Rainey or 6th St. back to the apartment. 
Personally I wish I'd stayed closer to Downtown or SoCo, since that's where I spent most of my time. But that's on me for not doing enough research beforehand. 
One last thing, the bath towels were wonderful!!"
3539968,32702441,2015-05-20,16308027,Kyle,"This apartment is exactly as described. The bed is super comfortable, great location to some of the best food trucks and dive bars. Allen was an amazing host giving us so many local recommendations for food, bars/nightlife as well as cool spots to check out. His response time was also super quick. I would definitely recommend this apartment and would stay here again when we come back to Austin!"
3539968,33229334,2015-05-26,7148212,Francesca,"Allen's place was plenty spacious for two people. The bed and couch were comfortable and the breakfast bar is a cute nook. There's lots of natural light, and the tv, wifi, fans, and ac all worked perfectly. The neighborhood is great and just a few minute ride from everywhere we needed to be. Having our own parking space was a huge bonus too. "
3539968,33505370,2015-05-29,4324130,Emma,"Me and my boyfriend recently spent three nights staying at Allen's great apartment. The apartment is spacious, super clean and had everything we needed. The bed is really comfortable and the shower was great. Allen also left us some delicious coffee. We loved Allen's apartment, rather than feeling like home it felt like the apartment we would like to call home ourselves! We're travelling across America using Air BnB as we go and this is by far our favourite so far. 

We arrived in to Austin during the recent storms which was terrible timing but Allen stayed in touch to make sure we were ok during our drive in. Allen's communication was superb, he replied to every message straight away each time and gave us some great recommendations. 

Location wise this worked for us. We tended to split our time between 6th street and south congress. (We had friends on tour playing on 6th, otherwise I expect all of our time would have been spent on South Congress). We used Uber to get to 6th and back and walked back one night, it wasn't far at all. We drove to South Congress during the day and then of an evening would use Uber. We loved the neighbourhood, nearby taco trucks and a great place for breakfast called Cenote. Allen can recommend other local places if you like a more neighbourhood vibe to where you are staying. 

We loved Allen's place and will definitely stay here next time we're in Austin! 
"
3539968,33922593,2015-06-02,31806913,Erika,"The apartment is exactly how described and much more! It was very clean and there were a lot of amenities you wouldn’t find in a hotel. It was nice having cooking utensils and a refrigerator so we didn’t have to eat out every night unless we wanted to. The bed is very comfortable and it was nice feeling like we were staying at a friend’s place rather than a stiff hotel. There is a lot of natural light which I absolutely loved!
I have been to Austin 3 times and this was by far the best location I’ve stayed at. It is extremely close to Rainey / 6th St. and we paid less than $6 for Uber each time. There are a lot of great bars and eats in his area as well. We tried out a new bar called Craftsman which only opened a month ago, and we LOVED that place and all of the eats nearby. There are a lot of cool places within a 5 minute walk of his place, so I would definitely recommend trying some of those out. If you stay anywhere else, you probably wouldn’t experience all that this neighborhood has to offer.
Allen was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and he was very friendly. The information he sent regarding the apartment was also very well thought out and detailed, which made staying there seamless. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here and if I make a trip out again next year, I would likely stay again at Allen’s. His place is definitely a gem in Austin.
"
3539968,34281310,2015-06-07,29057330,Lucy,"The apartment was exactly as described, super clean, and in a great location. Allen was prompt to reply to any questions and provided all the info we needed for a great stay!"
3539968,34670851,2015-06-10,3132711,Jennifer,"Just as pictured, Allen was accommodating and the location was great.  I'd highly recommend this place!

3539968,35307425,2015-06-17,15967394,Alison,"Allen's pad is fantastic - excellent location, **super** clean, spacious, and perfectly appointed with design-minded amenities. Being on the alley provides a really quiet environment. There is a great yard where we locked our bikes in safety. As a gracious host, Allen organized our stay so that we had ample privacy. We stepped into vacation mode the minute we walked into the apt. Highly recommended! (Dewey the outdoor-cat was an awesome host, as well!) "
3539968,36411066,2015-06-28,5686255,Tony,"This was our first time in ATX and it couldn't have been better. Allen's space was a great location for the mostly bars, breweries, and restaurants we wanted to visit. AustinBcycle was also nearby and made for a fun ride around the City.  Launderette had a very bougie vibe (sign of the changing times in E. Austin) but great vegetable dishes (and needed after too much BBQ) and cocktails. 

This is a rapidly changing and hip neighborhood. Never felt unsafe and walked everywhere late at night. 

Space was clean, modern and well decorated. Really enjoyed the library and the impressive collection of beer kozies. Would def stay here again. "
3539968,37337494,2015-07-06,1989147,Haley,"We had a great stay in Allen's apartment! The location is great, the apartment was very clean and exactly as described. 

Allen is a very friendly host and responded too all of our questions.  We would love to stay here again next time we are in Austin! "
3539968,39075283,2015-07-20,7834976,Montessa,We had a great experience at Allen's place. Very clean and exactly as pictured. The location was great and close to all that Austin has to offer. He also recommended some great places and things to do. Would definitely stay again. 
3539968,40252599,2015-07-29,32982666,Alyssa,"Allen's place was awesome! Super quirky, cool apartment with everything you need. I stayed there three nights and it was perfect. It was close enough to everything (walking, cheap car2go trips and uber), while still in a quiet neighbouhood that gave me a way more authentic experience in Austin than I ever would have gotten in a downtown hotel. "
3539968,40605086,2015-08-01,35868537,Rochelle,"This place was perfection, my husband and I stayed her for 3 nights and it was completely cozy, welcoming and super peaceful.  It is also in a great location to uber around and the city."
3539968,41009407,2015-08-03,32716418,Mel,My Friend and I were completely satisfied with the apartment. The location was ideal and the comfort was welcomed after traveling the whole week. 
3539968,41434843,2015-08-07,7252077,Brandon,"Allen's place felt like our own private studio apartment. It was an excellent set up, one of the best airbnb places we've stayed at. Spacious and comfortable, with both air conditioning and ceiling fans to escape the Austin heat. The wifi was super quick and with Netflix set up. We almost didn't want to leave the house! Area isn't in the heart of things, but convenient enough, as there are some good eating options within walking distance and about $5-$6 with uber into downtown. We got to meet Allen at the end of our stay and he was friendly and helped us stow our bags until we went to the airport. Highly recommend staying with Allen, would love to stay again"
3539968,42274049,2015-08-12,35722320,Brendan,"The place was amazing, this was my first time trying airbnb and I'm very glad I did. If you stay in austin I recommend staying here."
3539968,43301393,2015-08-18,40542424,Emily,"Allen's place was clean and spacious as described. We got to meet Allen upon arrival and he gave advice on activities to do and recommendations on calling ahead that came in handy. As others have stated the AC, fans, and comfort were enjoyable and made it hard to want to leave the apartment. We also enjoyed that the apartment was just a few blocks from a long running trail. Would certainly stay here again!"
3539968,44187675,2015-08-24,408676,Eli,"Allen's garage apartment was exactly as described.  Very clean and well appointed. We were able to set up a base of operations while we explored the tons of great restaurants and bars that are within walking distance.

We particularly enjoyed walking to Juan in a Million for breakfast tacos, Launderette for dinner, and Weather Up for cocktails. 

We would definitely stay here again."
3539968,45281649,2015-09-01,4979072,Thi,"Allen's place is in a good, quiet location on the East side!  The apartment is a great, clean space for two.  He was very available and made the check-in and check-out very easy."
3539968,46156547,2015-09-08,7951672,James,"Allen makes you feel very welcome. Very comfy place exactly as described. Location was convenient to everything I wanted, downtown, hike and bike trail, restaurants, etc"
3539968,47360311,2015-09-18,5607409,Jordan,Alan's place was great. Good location we walked to downtown from there and close to bars on 6th. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Communication with Alan was good.
3539968,47651520,2015-09-21,36093263,Billy,"Allen's place was a great little spot for our short get-away. Allen was accessible and his place was well kept and clean. Everything was in walking distance so there was no need for Uber or a taxi. Will definitely look to stay again if we travel to Austin!!!

Thanks Allen!!!!"
3539968,48543883,2015-09-27,1695925,Silvia,"Allen's apartment had everything I needed and is very handy for transport into the city centre. It's charming, clean and comfortable. Allen was super helpful with recommendations for dining and entertainment even before I arrived in Austin. I had an amazing dinner at Launderette, which is a brief stroll from the apartment. Allen's enthusiasm for Austin shows in the care he takes to make you feel welcome."
3539968,50013721,2015-10-08,16580355,Shannon,"Allen was great - after a long, hectic day of travel I was having issues getting in and he was super responsive and helpful when I called. The apartment was awesome - clean, modern, and stocked with coffee :) Nice, quiet neighborhood very close to downtown. "
3539968,50619230,2015-10-13,36606471,Lauren,We recently visited Austin for 5 days and stayed in Allen's garage apartment. We felt at home as soon as we arrived! Allen sent along all the information we needed prior to our arrival so we were able to get settled away as soon as we arrived in the city. We had a place to park our car and we were able to walk or Uber to most places we wanted to go. Everything was great and we felt welcome and relaxed. 
3539968,51525287,2015-10-21,36097219,Mackenzie,"The listing description was accurate, and the neighbourhood was quiet, charming, and a central to everywhere we needed to go. The suite was very clean and spacious, and the couch and bed were both more comfortable than what we have at home! 

Thanks for making our trip to Austin even better Allen!"
3539968,51883735,2015-10-25,34350438,Cliff,"The pictures don't do Cold Steel Manor justice. Allen's place is great. It is in a great location, which was very helpful for me. The apt was spotless, and very nice. My next trip to Austin, when I need a room, I will contact Allen first!!! Allen, thank you it was great!"
3539968,52308210,2015-10-28,33388493,Julia,"Allen's apartment is great, and in the perfect location--walking distance from 6th street and Downtown, but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood away from all the city noise. The space itself was just what we needed--comfortable bed, fully-equipped kitchen, and a nice lounge space. We ran into Allen when we first arrived, and he was very welcoming and helpful. He also provided an apartment guide and gives great recommendations of places to eat (and drink!) on his Airbnb page--we went to several of those places during our stay and all were fantastic."
3539968,52971668,2015-11-03,43813886,Eugenio,The location of Allen's place is near perfect! Almost everything is a 10-15 minute ride away. The place was also spacious for two guests. I would definitely recommend Allen's apartment for anyone visiting Austin!
367789,11006387,2014-03-17,372971,Kathryn,"John's place was fantastic.  Prior to checking in John was very easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to insure that our check in was smooth and we would be completely set up when we arrived. John had stocked the fridge with groceries, and the place was impeccably clean with plenty of space for our week long stay. The home is incredibly beautiful and is in a very quiet neighborhood. It is fairly accessible being only a 10 minute drive away from downtown.  Throughout the stay John checked in to make sure we were comfortable and offered suggestions of things to do.  Unfortunately we were working, and didn't get have too much time to explore.  I highly recommend staying here. Thank you John for a great stay - hope to return someday!

4125995,26172543,2015-02-05,11304665,Linda,Our employee enjoyed her stay. Great spot. Clean and convenient. Jared was a great host! Our stay extended several times and he always gave us priority which will are very grateful for. Thanks Jared! Definitely will book with you in future :)
4125995,32832243,2015-05-22,9373291,Mary,"We enjoyed Jared as a person,  but had concerns which we shared with him. He was very gracious and accepted the information with grace. As shared: ""There were more than a few hiccups. We babysat the place 3 or 4 days waiting on insurance adjusters/contractors, mopped up after the leak, lived with the industrial fan blowing 24 hours, lived with wet floors and buckling laminate,shower leak that we fixed, non-working vent fan over stove, WiFi glitches because we couldn't connect with the modem in the apt and more. I think the reason some of the small irritations feel bigger is the lack of management care from you. From the beginning we needed information about the apt: caretaking rules, amenities, instructions for laundry and garbage and checkout. There was no follow up with us. 
We have used executive/vacation rentals for years and for $2650 per month, we feel the apt is lacking."""
4125995,33181971,2015-05-25,33568215,Alexander,The place was great! I love the decor and the proximity to Austin's attractions. I will definitely stay again if i'm ever in Austin.
4125995,39874798,2015-07-26,5229761,Frances (Property Manager Is Dan),"Great location and great unit.  Everything we needed, and it was clean and comfortable.  Many thoughtful amenities that were much appreciated (such as magnifying mirror and hairdryer).  

Bright and happy decor.  We would happily stay here again!"

4452791,22349721,2014-11-03,23178574,Andres,"Ante que nada quiero agradecer a los duenos del complejo ya que nos dieron una tremenda bienvenida recibiendonos con todo el carino y positivismo del mundo. Unas personas super amigables que desde nuestra llegada hasta nuestra partida sus incanzables palabras siempre fueron “si necesitan algo nos dicen sin importar la hora”. 
El complex Sombrero Blanco SoCo!o mejor conocido como “White Haton SoCo!” ha sido una de nuestras mejores experiencia comenzando por lo acojedor. Los duenos han hecho un gran trabajo en hacer sentir a las personas como en su propia casa.  Los trailerhomes son bastante acojedores, muy comodos y con tremendas instalaciones. 
Ademas de las tremendas intalaciones que poseen los trailerhomes el complex posee un video beam en las afueras con una buena pantalla y sonido para las personas que deseen ver una pelicula. Hay una mini plaza con un grill y unas sillas, ademas de poseer alrededor de todas las instalaciones WIFI GRATIS. 
El complex esta super bien ubicado ya que esta a walking distance de downtown o cualquier buen sitio para comer. Yo me hospede del 31 de octubre al 2 de noviembre y desde que arribe no utilice mas mi automobile puesto que la ubicacion es perfecta y el complex tiene un tremendo estacionamiento (parqueadero) donde no amerita que lo muevas.
Estare seguro de dar mi recomendacion a todos mis amigos y familia para cualquier persona que este interesada en ir a Austin. En verdad fue una tremenda experiencia y hospedarme en White Hat hizo nuestra experiencia mucho mas interesante..
Todo lo mejor!
Saludos

4452791,24494488,2014-12-29,2636724,Evan,"This was a phenomenal place to stay. Willis is so sweet and welcoming and the trailers comfortable, clean and fun to stay in. A+"
4452791,24671521,2015-01-01,17608321,Beatriz,"Superb location. SoCo is the best neighborhood in Austin. Airstream was very cool, including patio. Great host."
4452791,24973741,2015-01-04,5689556,Michelle,"We had such a wonderful time in Austin, and we really loved staying in the airstream! My favorite thing about air bnb is the opportunity to stay in unique places like an airstream! The space is modern and comfortable, and the location is perfect: right on South Congress and minutes to downtown! Definitely small, but as long as you actually like your travel companion it should be fine. We spent some time just relaxing in the airstream, and even utilized the awesome outdoor space to grill out one night. Some of the time we were in Austin it was cold and rainy, but we stayed warm and dry. The bed is comfortable and the linens and towels are really nice! The shower and bathroom area are nothing fancy but certainly get the job done! Willis was a super responsive and attentive host. He texted every morning to make sure we were ok, and went out of his way to make us comfortable! We really had a great time staying in the airstream, and I can wholeheartedly recommend staying here!!"
4452791,25550335,2015-01-19,5365849,Drew,"If you're debating on whether to stay in one of these Airstreams, stop, and make the reservation.  Great location, great host & great fellow guests.  Willis provided everything we needed and gave recommendations for where to eat, drink & be merry.  I cannot wait to book this place many times in the future.  Thanks so much, Willis!"
4452791,25588791,2015-01-19,25078964,Joe,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4452791,26326284,2015-02-09,26759799,Mikey,"Even though this is one of the nicest properties on Airbnb, Will's attention to detail and friendly attitude is truly what makes this place stand out. I'm sure I'll be returning here soon although there will be no shortage of visitors as others get to discover this gem of Austin."
4452791,26500930,2015-02-14,21107793,Josh,"Great stay!  Will is a fantastic host and made my stay extremely enjoyable.  As a person that spends more than 100 nights a year away from home, his place was truly relaxing.  I won't hesitate to book again with Will the next time I'm in Austin!"
4452791,26735550,2015-02-18,25103354,Jimmy,"Great stay for us too... Beautifully arranged, nice trailers. some small, some larger. though remember, even a larger Airstream is small compared to a hotel room! if you've never tried it, i'd suggest it (at least once!). Will was a gracious host, very friendly and always helpful. Though we had a couple of snags, Will took care of everything and made our stay a fun one. So, nice trailers, great host, great outdoor area, outdoor screen (we watched Downton Abbey), parking included, plus it's on South Congress within walking distance of everything SoCo and downtown. Highly recommended. Thanks Will!"
4452791,27469789,2015-03-05,12389397,Mark,"Perfect neighborhood. Walking distance from downtown (20 minutes over a pretty bridge), and one block only from the cool start of the S. Congress strip. Will made me feel very comfortable. He checked in on me each day, asking if there was anything I needed. Most responsive host I've had on on Airbnb. 
Airstream are exactly as pictured. Pure functional novelty for me. If you need to stretch out in your bathroom, maybe not the best option. Otherwise everything works fine and the hot water and shower was surprisingly comfortable. 
Since it was a bit rainy in Austin I did not take advantage of the outdoor space which is a very chill fire pit and movie watching space surrounded by palm trees and tasteful, decorative christmas lights. 
The linens were super comfy and clean. Keep in mind, if it's rainy or muddy out, the floor of the RV will get a bit dirty. 
Very highly recommend, especially if you've ever had that itch to sleep in a super-classy, aluminum tin can!"
4452791,27715436,2015-03-10,2302330,Alejandra,"We loved our Airbnb in Austin. Willis was away while we were staying in the trailer but made us feel welcome the whole time. The area is perfect, minutes from Home Slice Pizza, Joe's Coffee and all the other S Congress favourites. We were pretty unlucky with the weather (record rainfall, freezing temps at night) but we always felt warm and snugly inside. The linens and towels were soft and warm and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. I'll bet it's wonderful in the summer, too! "
4452791,28696453,2015-03-29,2019992,Kelly,"This place was absolutely as fabulous as we had hoped.  The Airstream itself was great, but the courtyard really made the place feel special.  We loved the outdoor movie set-up and the hammocks--and the fact that we were so close to everything we wanted to do.  One night we counted 6 locations with live music on our walk back from dinner.  Willis was a gracious host and asked every day if there was anything we needed.  If we don't come back soon ourselves, we'll absolutely be sending our friends!"
4452791,30439588,2015-04-22,25604605,Wind,"Will was a great host--he made sure that we were happy and comfortable and was always helpful with information and recommendations. He is a really friendly guy and we had a lot of fun hanging out and talking to him when we were at the property. 

Will has done an amazing job creating and maintaining his little trailer park--it is beautiful, relaxing, and fun. And he is happy to help guests plug into his outdoor movie theater or blutooth stereo system. Plus we were able to buy a couple of bottles of his rum while we were there and drank it with Ginger Beer, which is highly recommended.

The property is just blocks from coffee at Dominican Joes, great food at the Electric Cock (and anywhere else on S. Congress), and the South Congress bats. For places further away, Will let us borrow his bikes, which was awesome (it takes about 15 minutes to reach La BBQ on bike from there).

Will was great. His dad, Miles, was great. The trailers were great. Talked basketball with Will's friends and they were great."
4452791,37934807,2015-07-11,37950226,Becky,"We were just passing through Austin for one night,  and wanted to stay some place unique and we sure did! This place is amazing! A little airstream oasis in the heart of down town Austin! It was within walking distance to downtown. There are so many neat and unique place to walk to.  Shopping, eating, and the night life was buzzing! We were so excited about our place that we just wanted to go back and chill out there in our little oasis instead! We woke up and had coffee under the palm trees before we left.  We loved meeting and visiting with Miles and his friend! Miles is laid back and easy going! Miles wad full of advise on places to go and things to do.  He will not disappoint. We are already planning our next trip, so we will have more time!"
4452791,38210847,2015-07-13,37570095,J Susie,"Miles was available for anything we needed throughout our stay.  He's friendly and wants his guests to have a great visit.  Our airstream was super comfortable.  The bedding is awesome and you might not want to get out of bed right away.  The location is perfect for the visit we planned.  We really enjoyed the local eateries and shopping.  All in all, this place is perfect for a weekend get away."
4452791,38554029,2015-07-16,37806277,Alex,"This was my first time using airbnb and won't be my last! This was truly an unique experience and that's something I've never received from any hotel. The airstream was immaculate. Miles was waiting for us as soon as we got in town. Gave us a quick tour  and nice welcome. He was more than accommodating and was there for anything we needed. The trailer was clean and the bed was comfortable. Everything about the area was perfect. From the courtyard, movie room and the hammocks. It was perfect! There was even a keg of shiner bock cold and ready to drink! (I may have had a couple too many!) I will 100% recommend this place to everyone I know. The price was right and the location was better. Just minutes from everything. I will definitely be back!"
4452791,39224575,2015-07-21,38048173,Elaine,"Great experience!  The airstream was everything you'd want - clean, unique and comfy.  Miles was very helpful and attentive - he brought us extra towels and even let us borrow his wine opener.  The location was also great - walking distance to SoCo and downtown. Highly recommended it you want a great Austin visit!!"
4452791,39685640,2015-07-25,37738943,Andrea,Austin and Liz were amazing hosts! So welcoming!
4452791,40002878,2015-07-27,38163083,Alison,"This was an awesome place to stay! GREAT location. Right on SoCo (South Congress), where there is lots of unique shopping, food trucks, and restaurants. About a quarter mile from the Cogress Street Bridge, where you can see the famous Austin bats. Less than a mile to downtown Austin and 6th Street, less than 2 miles to the Red River music district. Free and convenient parking right next to the trailers. Miles is a FANTASTIC host. His airstream trailers are charming and comfortable. In some ways, it's like staying in a nice hotel: very clean, nice bedding, little amenities like toiletries and bottled water. In other ways, it's more like staying with a friend, because Miles will gladly pour you a beer and talk to you about your trip. He is also accomodating and flexible. We decided at the last minute to add an extra night, and although he had already rented out the Airstream we were staying in, he put us up in another one without charging us an extra cleaning fee. This should be obvious, but remember these are Airstream trailers, so the bathrooms are tiny and the quarters are a little cramped - if you have mobility issues, this may not be a good choice. Otherwise, this is a comfortable and fun place to stay!"

4452791,40485510,2015-07-31,37742812,Eric,This was a great little spot in the heart of downtown with great accessibility to all the places we wanted to go. Miles has a sweet little setup with a terrific atmosphere and great accommodations.
4452791,42481578,2015-08-13,40815338,Mabrie,"LOVED every minute of our stay! It's such a unique experience in such a unique and quirky part of town! We kept saying, ""he's thought of everything!"" And he really did! Stay here, you won't regret it. 
Oh and bring all your friends!!! Such a great place to host an event and rent out the whole place to yourself!!! 
We had three kids with us and Miles could not have been more accommodating and kind. Our little guys thought this was the coolest thing we did while on vacation....we agreed ;) "
4452791,42570789,2015-08-14,38968864,Peter,"Miles Ponder made our stay in Austin an unforgettable experience. The Airstream  trailer we stayed in was charming. The location was awesome, just a short walk from the Ann W. Richards Bridge (you know the bridge with the million plus bats). You know you have found your place when the first thing that happened when we arrived was we were offered a cold beer. You have to love Miles' hospitality! Our trailer (sorry Miles I know that it is your trailer but you made us feel as if it were ours) had every modern convenience we could want. It looks as if it was made yesterday. Never having slept in a trailer before I was surprised at how comfortable it is. I was tempted to hock it up to our car and take it home with me. Fortunately for you & Miles I left it there. I am sure that you will enjoy your stay at this oasis as much as my wife and I did."
4452791,43680964,2015-08-21,2555603,Taylor,"Honestly one of my best accommodation experiences in Austin. Miles could not have been a better host, the property is immaculately maintained and is in a prime location and off street parking. This place is now one of the many reasons I love Austin. "
4452791,47488943,2015-09-19,40150432,Randall,We loved the property and had a great two days. Our hosts Miles and Liz were fantastic and made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in an Airstream. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants on South Congress and downtown. 
4452791,47929191,2015-09-21,2451054,Eric,"A beautiful experience! Miles is such an excellent host-from the checkin experience, to the wine tasting (rum tasting next time!), to the awesomeness of the airstreams. Plus Miles and his friends are super nice, welcoming, caring, etc. You can't go wrong with this little oasis in Austin "
4452791,48197436,2015-09-24,20857144,Julia,"Miles was a good host, friendly, helpful and available. The area really was a little oasis - the Airstreams, trees, tropical plants, outdoor seating areas, grills, hammocks, the outdoor ""theater,"" etc., all connected by paved stone pathways. And the location was great - right off S. Congress, but tucked away enough that it was quiet and private. The trailer is compact, of course, but it had all that we needed and we didn't feel cramped or crowded. A fun place to stay. "
4452791,49999307,2015-10-08,12900904,Megan,"We had a great time staying with Miles and felt very comfortable.  The location was awesome and walkable to everywhere we wanted to go.  Miles was warm and welcoming and enjoyed a bottle of wine with us one evening.  The airstream was really fun- very clean and we loved hanging out in the hammocks outside.  Loved the Austin sign too, lots of picture ops! :)  It's really nice being able to grab a bike and head out to coffee in the morning too!"
4452791,50816899,2015-10-14,5198187,Laura,"We had a wonderful experience here! Miles was so great, and helpful. The location couldn't have been more perfect and the space itself was lovely and peaceful. I can't wait to stay here again in the future! Thanks Miles! "
4452791,51710682,2015-10-24,5629461,Robbie,Great place to stay in a great location in Austin. Miles and Liz were very helpful and their bikes were a god send for getting around the City. Something a bit different and I'd recommend.
4452791,53023979,2015-11-03,21430102,John,"Very cool and unique place to stay while in Austin. Great location, plenty of dining, unique shopping and even some decent live music nearby. Miles is a great host. He was full of on grounds help, advice on his favorite Austin spots, and made for an overall easy experience. "
1655189,8028553,2013-10-13,9095907,Matthew,"Very nice and clean room conveniently located to downtown Austin. The bed was comfortable and Beverely allowed us to adjust the AC to our prefence. We had a coffee maker, frig, and microwave in our room which had a separate entrance and sitting room. She also bought us  muffins and banana bread for breakfast. Overall, highly recommended."
1655189,8790275,2013-11-18,9556482,Gail,"Beverly Voss was a wonderful hostess! To say that the accommodation was excellent is a definite understatement. Beverly ensured that nothing was lacking and that we felt totally comfortable during our stay. 
"
1655189,8965331,2013-11-28,1505217,Pia,"Beverly was a lovely and thougthful host. Everything was super clean and comfy, and she even left us Pumpkin Bread for breakfast! So sweet, we'd stay with her again!

"
1655189,9694106,2014-01-05,10855424,Doris,Very attractive room with lovely art and coffee and fruit and nut bread for breakfast which all would have been more than enough but add in a most delightful hostess.  I couldn't ask for more .  The neighborhood is well kept and convenient to most everywhere one could want to go in Austin.
1655189,9883943,2014-01-16,6438676,Kate,"I don't know where to begin... I think the best example we could give about how much we enjoyed our stay is that we initially intended on staying for 2 nights, but ended up staying 5!  Beverly was increadibly accomodating each time we extended our stay and we felt like part of the family by the time we left (we would have stayed if we could!).

The best thing about our stay was Beverly, she is the most amazing host; not only did she have amazing breads, yogurt and fruit awaiting us on our arrival, but she was so welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed having a chat and a glass of wine with her and Brady (not forgetting the lovely Sally!) one evening, such an interesting couple.

The room itself is very comfortable and immaculate with fab artwork adorning the walls, we also had our own entrance and sun room which was great!

We are already planning our return to Austin which we have totally fallen in love with and we definitely hope to be staying with Beverly when we do!

I could go on and on!  Thank you Beverly x

ps Our favourite spots in Austin were 'Mozarts'; a beautiful and tranquil cafe by the lake, 'The Violet Crown Cinema'; a cool arthouse cinema with delicious food and great drinks and 'Whole Foods'; if you're a fan, this is the mothership!

1655189,10042376,2014-01-27,11088995,Jennifer,"This BNB is very welcoming, comfortable and homey. Beverly is a wonderful host and her accommodations were infused with her creative touch including sprays of fresh flowers and delicious coffee and pumpkin bread. The neighbor hood is quiet and friendly and I slept like a log! If you like to walk, bring your walking shoes. Great place for a stroll.
"
1655189,11205198,2014-03-24,13261053,Michael,"I had a late arrival and early departure for my all to brief time in Austin.  Beverly worked with my so that a friend could pick up the key for me, which was great.  Upon arriving to the room it looked just like the picture.  The bed was comfortable and it had a private access and sun room.  I was only able to briefly meet Beverly since I was out exploring Austin all day, but she was very friendly.  If you are looking for a very nice place while staying in Austin look no further then here."
1655189,11277707,2014-03-28,7581793,Karen,What a fabulous find in Austin! Beverly is the perfect host; she is charming and friendly and leaves the best edible goodies! The guest accommodations are spacious and private. I loved sitting in the sunroom when I wasn't out exploring fabulous Austin. The location is perfect - just the right amount north!
1655189,11758166,2014-04-14,13259233,Chris & Danielle,"Beverly's place is even nicer than described and she and her partner Brady are real gems.  Coffee, tea, light breakfast each morning.  Conversation and friendship if you're open! The sunroom is a great addition- having that added space really makes the place feel like a little apartment and not just a bedroom.  There are so many incredible places to eat that it's almost a blessing not to have a kitchen. 

We loved everything about this stay- as did our 3 year old daughter.  A happy, healthy time.  Thank you, Beverly!

"
1655189,11866472,2014-04-17,13438869,Cathy,"My experience was a very nice one. I appreciated the warm welcome, nicely decorated room and sun porch and the ease of being able to walk to shopping, etc. "
1655189,12300473,2014-04-28,14018159,Emily,"This was our first time using airbnb and I'm afraid that when book somewhere else our host won't be as wonderful! We loved Hank and Sally, the cute pups we met during our stay. The room was perfect, as we only needed somewhere to sleep, shower and plan our day. We were tempted to relax and nap because of how comfortable the bed and amenities were. Around the corner to a bus stop, close to the highway but in a calm and cute neighborhood. I would absolutely recommend staying here! "
1655189,12574975,2014-05-05,8796339,Meghan,"We really enjoyed our stay at Beverly's!  She was very welcoming and a great hostess.  She provided yummy fruit and breakfast pastries each morning.  The sunroom is a nice addition and allows for some added space.  The room has a private entrance which made us feel better if we wandered back in a little later than expected.  Great neighborhood as well, easy access to Mopac and downtown.  Also, the area offers a lot of great restaurants without having to go downtown. Thank you Beverly."
1655189,16535312,2014-07-28,416720,Maggie,"Coordinating with Beverly was quick and easy. The room and adjoining sunroom are full of natural light and colorful art, and the house is in a great neighborhood in central Austin. "
1655189,18879676,2014-09-02,16533644,Charles,"My husband and I just spent 6 comfortable nights in a room in a quiet family neighborhood.  The bed was comfortable and the room temperature was comfortable.  We had a small refrigerator, microwave, snack foods and drinks for our use.  The facility was perfect for our need and we will stay there again if necessary."
1655189,20323016,2014-09-27,13281665,Dianne,"Such a pretty house!  It was a joy to be hosted by lovely Beverly.

1655189,20787413,2014-10-05,21785175,Natasha,Beverly is so great! The room was as described and spacious and very accommodating. The mini breakfasts and coffee (in room) in the morning were wonderful. She was inviting and more than courteous. A definite recommendation
1655189,21127266,2014-10-12,19471956,Debbie,"Beverly was welcoming, charming, great to talk to. She opened her home up to us as if it was ours. The location was great, it's a quite neighborhood lots of places to eat. the room itself was cozy, it had a sunroom which was nice for sitting and enjoying your morning tea. Great place to stay."
1655189,21483036,2014-10-18,14638435,Susan,"This was my first experience with Airbnb.  My stay with Beverly in her home exceeded my expectations.  I felt welcome, comfortable and safe. Beverly came outside to greet me when I first arrived.  The walkway up to the front door is full of lush greenery.  You walk into a sunroom that says relax it's a readers haven not to mention the great art work.  I love to read I was delighted.  Then you walk into the bedroom great attention has been made to the comfort of the bedding, lighting along with incidentals. As if all of this was not enough the real gift is Beverly.  I did not want to leave she has a special grace and peace that brought me joy.     This was one of my most memorable experiences in Austin.  I am grateful and look forward to my next stay at Beverlys."
1655189,21566406,2014-10-19,22573835,Travis,"Beverly was an amazing and welcoming host. As soon as you show up she makes sure you are comfortable and makes you feel right at home. The house is very clean and well decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. Everything you need is in the room, and the sunroom and private entrance are great features. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here, you absolutely won't regret it. "
1655189,22244338,2014-11-02,21886785,Ian,"Beverly was a lovely hostess for our 4-night stay. She greeted us and showed us around when we arrived, making us feel right at home. The room was artfully decorated, with a locked private entrance, and had secure wi-fi, small refrigerator, microwave, hot water pot for tea and coffee, and bottled water, fruit, yogurt and breakfast breads. The home is in a nice, safe, quiet, and conveniently located neighborhood. We had a delightful stay and would definitely recommend Beverly’s b&b!"
1655189,22644723,2014-11-11,5412237,John,What a delightful time we had with Beverly at her B&B in Austin.  She is a very gracious host who has great knowledge of the area.  Her home is full of interesting things to explore and you'll never lack for something to read.  Delicious goodies awaited us every morning for our  petit dejeuner on the sunny and cozy sunroom.  The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant.  It was such a warm and wonderful place to stay. 
1655189,26576761,2015-02-15,8056445,Hemanth,WOW what an experience it was to stay at this amazing adobe of Beverly! Everything was like and better than what was described! Just loved every bit of the stay and Beverly made us feel at home from the moment we met. The place was clean and had all the necessary stuffs.  Couldn't get to spend much time with Beverly but she was a very sweet host and would like to visit the place again.
1655189,27604107,2015-03-08,14638435,Susan,"This is my second stay with Beverly and just like the first, very comfortable and relaxing.  Beverly and her home is an awesome alternative to a hotel.  Everything we needed was there along with a gratious host which made our stay so much better and personable. We look forward to our next opportunity to visit Austin and know where to go to feel at home.  Thank you Beverly!"
1655189,28159252,2015-03-19,4397153,Francisco,"One of my best airbnb experiences ever (and I had many!). 
The area is super nice, the room is clean, light, confortable bed and most important, it has an independent entrance what makes you feel you´re in your own apartment. 
Then, what to say about Beverly and her partner? They´re beautiful people, very charm and laid back. Super recommendable!
"
1655189,28402361,2015-03-23,2993780,Tara,"I stayed at Beverly's house for a few days during SXSW. It was just what I was looking for - clean, comfortable, quiet and beautifully decorated. Beverly is a fantastic host. Very welcoming, friendly and considerate. I would definitely stay here again! Thanks again for everything Beverly :)"
1655189,28655444,2015-03-28,7581793,Karen,"Fabulous week in Austin, perfect stay at Bev's place!  As usual!  Bev is so attentive to all details a traveler might need: snacks, space, privacy, etc.  Add to that her location location location (Allendale neighborhood is centrally located and easy to move to, from, and around in), and Bev's place is perfect.  And her chihuahua Hank is a doll!  I hope to return for spring break again next year!"
1655189,30739565,2015-04-26,11775161,Emily,"It was a great stay and Beverly and her husband were kind and welcoming. She left everything we needed in the room, along with some snacks, coffee and tea. The room is clean and comfortable. "
1655189,31272890,2015-05-03,32234478,Susan,Very lovely home and hospitable host. Communication was very good and home is in a great location.  Having sunroom was good for keeping room quiet for baby to fall asleep in.
1655189,39138112,2015-07-20,8226104,Virginia,"Beverly's home is  grounded and comfortable haven for travelers looking for a safe and quiet home away from home. My plans were last minute and fairly loose and she was completely flexible and made it work for me. Everything that I could have asked for, was right there, including a fridge, fruit yogurt, yogurt, fresh baked treats and the freedom to come and go as I needed to. Thank you Beverly!"
1655189,39864083,2015-07-26,20760562,April,"My son(14) and I had a great mini-vaca in Austin. Beverly was a wonderful host. The room's separate entrance was a plus and knowing that we had the appointed  bathroom to ourselves was nice. The sunroom was convenient place to go when making phones calls and unfortunately for me having allergy/coughing attacks (not related to Beverly's house) so that I could try to avoid bothering anyone. It was also private enough to use as a dressing room.  Every day Beverly refreshed delicious breads and fruits. The little fridge was perfectly stocked with waters and yogurt. Upon arriving we followed her directions since she was gone and met a sweet dog that stayed in the living room. When we later met Beverly we also met her other little dog, Hank. He just enjoyed quickly saying  ""Hi""  when we would come in. The decor was bright and cheery. We hope to see this place again sometime. We only actually crossed paths with Beverly about 3 times. If I hadn't lost my voice I would have enjoyed speaking with her more. "
1655189,44053092,2015-08-23,34737451,Layne,"Beverly is a wonderful host and I truly enjoyed meeting her. I could not have had a better first airbnb  experience. This is a quiet, great neighborhood in North Austin. I felt very at home and the description of the room is very accurate. The bed was very comfortable, so this along with the sun-room, great books and art work make this space very cozy and relaxing. I loved the private entrance, very convenient. "
1655189,44985053,2015-08-30,39545340,Fernando Gabriel,"We had to arrive a little later than expected since I was stuck at work, but Beverly was flexible with the check-in time. The ambiance in the room was very peaceful and relaxing. Before going to bed, we got to meet one of Beverly's 2 puppies (super-charming)! 3"
1655189,45639981,2015-09-04,8226104,Virginia,I live this house and its owner. Beverly has created a safe calm and inviting space that I am grateful for.
1655189,46058066,2015-09-07,13507863,Kath,"Beverly's lovely, art-filled room and private sunroom provided a much needed quiet space for a weekend retreat. The neighborhood is equally peaceful and very convenient to both the Mopac and Lamar corridor. Beverly was the consummate host, giving an excellent nearby restaurant recommendation when I arrived late and frazzled, keeping the room stocked with thoughtful breakfast and snack offerings, and providing a mini library of poetry books. Que simpatico!"
1655189,46258476,2015-09-08,8226104,Virginia,"Again, last minute reservation and Beverly was on the spot for me. So nice to not have to rush out an early checkout when you are on the road. Consistently clean and reliable place to rest in calm and comfortable surroundings."
1655189,46849448,2015-09-13,25698940,Karen,"Beverly is so kind and thoughtful! We booked a room with her two days before we needed to be there, and she was quick to respond and even surprised us with gluten free pastries to accommodate my fiancé! She and her home are warm and welcoming. She also graciously left us access to swing back by and pick up our pillow which we had forgotten! We would definitely recommend staying with Beverly!"
1655189,47866034,2015-09-21,2883457,Pamela,"Beverly has created a very welcoming space with lots of light and beautiful art throughout. It is very comfortable with a nice bed and cozy chairs. The photos are accurate. I was familiar with the neighborhood and knew it to be safe and well lit at night. The location makes it easy to get around the city. For those not familiar with the area, Beverly provides a great info sheet with suggestions for restaurants, shopping, etc.  "
1655189,48482725,2015-09-26,9173189,Sriyutha,Beverly was an awesome host! She was super accommodating and friendly. Her place was just described. She even had snacks for us! Would definitely recommend  staying here!
1655189,48654130,2015-09-27,19745557,Gala,Beverly was very inviting. Clean and cozy home. Very welcoming. Cute dog! Great place for visiting Austin. 
1655189,49617968,2015-10-05,38085107,Kylee,"We enjoyed staying at Beverly's very much, especially the sun room. She was very accommodating and friendly. Beverly's hospitality made our exciting trip that much better."
1655189,50140547,2015-10-09,25403221,Claudia,"Beverly, is indeed a super host. We felt welcomed, she had snacks and delicious pastries everyday, very nice gesture. Her house has a good location, the room is nice and clean. Overall a great experience. 
"
1655189,51157766,2015-10-18,5707503,Karen & Mike,Wonderful little jewel just North of the city. Beverly our host was warm and helpful and we had everything we needed for a lively stay.
1655189,52230082,2015-10-27,43629455,Bernadette,"Beverly was the perfect host. She provided a clean, colorful and tastefully decorated space, a sunny sunroom for sipping coffee in the morning, delicious breakfast pastries, lots of suggestions for things to do and places to see, and she even gave us a tour of her house. The neighborhood is quiet, there is plenty of parking, and it is not too far from downtown and UT (15 min by car). It was my first time using Airbnb; Beverly made me want to continue using it in the future. Thank you Beverly! "
1655189,52761165,2015-11-01,20530422,Nicolas,Beverly was a wonderful host and made us feel very comfortable.  The room was  very clean and cozy. Beverly was also very easy to communicate with and responded promptly. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.
949922,3642693,2013-02-26,5163810,Hannah,"We had a great experience staying in Marcy's airstream and will definitely be back when we're in Austin again. It's in a convenient location about a 10 minute drive from the UT campus area and near several parks and green spaces. The airstream in a very quaint and spacious backyard, complete with a table and chairs, decorative lights, a very tidy coop with a chicken and also two dogs that have their own fenced off space to do as they please. Staying there is relaxing and private. The entire area is very Austin-y.

Marcy is easy to communicate with and check-in and check-out was a breeze. She pays attention to the details and added such nice little touches. We had homemade (and delicious!) toffee, chilled water, a popcorn bag for popping, and a personalized stamped postcard waiting for us on check-in. I loved how the walls inside are decorated with maps from around the world and around the country. Inside the airstream was spacious, clean, comfortable, and artsy. The air conditioner and space heater work well. Because it's a distance from the main house, the internet is not quick enough to stream something like netflix, but quick to check your email or surf websites.

What a great find! "
949922,3643062,2013-02-26,3965768,Andrew,"I enjoyed my stay in the Airstream, which is charmingly decorated, spacious, and comfortable. It's in the back of a huge backyard, so it's quite private, and the backyard has its own charms to discover. Marcy is a very gracious host and great communicator. I'd stay there again."
949922,3732042,2013-03-09,5241802,Drew,"Marcella's airstream was absolutely fantastic. Hip,
comfortable, private, and welcoming. The private entrance to her yard was simple and unobtrusive, which was perfect for my hectic schedule during the week while I was there. I've already recommended this retro paradise to friends, and I will continue to do so. Thanks Marcella!"
949922,3757624,2013-03-11,46024,Santosh,"I loved it.  The airstream, itself, is very cool, and Marcella has set it up to be very cozy and welcoming. Her back yard, where the airstream is parked, is really spacious and her pet piggie is adorable. I wish I had time to stay another day or two."
949922,3776592,2013-03-13,4051173,Jill,"Marcella's little silver airstream was lovely! Unfortunately we had a very short stay due to flight delays, but we enjoyed what little time we had there. Marcella was super nice and helped guide us to the nearest bus that would take us downtown Austin.  Everything about it was too cute and all in all we were pretty comfy. We enjoyed the garden and the chickens in the morning too. "
949922,3790213,2013-03-15,5121629,Kyla,"We had such a great time in Marcy's Airstream! It's a really cute space in an amazing yard. Quite a little oasis, & doesn't feel like the city at all. We were in town for SXSW, definitely hope to visit again soon!"
949922,3859139,2013-03-21,2438889,Matt,"Marcella and the Airstream were just great. And they have quite possibly one of the coolest backyards that I've ever seen. If you get a chance, say hi to their dogs and potbelly big. I never imagined that a pot belly big and 2 large dogs would get along so well. I got a chance to chat with Marcella in the morning and she was just great. She had lots of good advice for the area and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend her airstream."
949922,3879429,2013-03-24,5061823,Omar,Absolutely LOVED our experience at Marcy's!   Having Fern (pot bellied pig) and dogs to play with was a special treat.  The airstream is charming and thoughtfully decorated.  Perfect for a unique Austin experience.  Highly recommended.  
949922,3983226,2013-04-01,5323661,Ricky,"As a first AirBnB user, I had Marcella as the excellent host which made my stay very comfortable in being home away from home in Austin. We communicated as much as we could about my schedule and during the course of my visit. Marcella was understanding when I mentioned I'll arrive a just a bit late than excepted. She introduced me to her family and her pets. She also made sure that I can ask her for anything I needed. I was in and out all week, I got a bit chance getting to know her as she is extremely nice. 

The airstream is located in the backyard in a relaxing setting with chairs to spend time sitting and relaxing. I didn't have a chance to do so. The airstream is also very comfortable and fresh smelling inside. It is a perfect place to have downtime upon arrival after such a busy day traveling all day. A long desk to read and eat, a comfortable futon to relax and reflect with the soft lights all around. The bathroom is cute with the soft light bulbs which is equally relaxing. I was informed by Marcella that hot water in the shower usually runs for a short time. I had no problem as I finished using it every time before it becomes cold. Hot water at the sink doesn't run out and is available when needed. Marcella made sure everything is comfortable for me by checking on me and giving suggestions in the notebook about places in Austin to glass jar full of water and a jar of homemade toffee. I couldn't get enough of toffee as they were so delicious! I bought several bags of them from her website to take home. 

When I come back Austin (that is expected), I definitely would stay at the airstream again. It has been an excellent stay during my break. Thanks, Marcella! :)

"
949922,4037861,2013-04-04,5637966,Colin,"I can't imagine a better hostess or a cooler place to stay than Marcella's airstream.  The place was neat and tidy and a fun place to relax....Marcella is present but non-intrusive and make the best freakin' English toffee ever.  

"
949922,4151431,2013-04-14,5669573,Ali,Simply amazing :)
949922,4224292,2013-04-20,1918356,Rachel,Marcella was a very friendly and accommodating host. The airstream was clean and the perfect size for a couple. The yard provided an oasis from the city which we enjoyed after long days of exploring the city. I definitely recommend this airstream to anyone visiting Austin!
949922,4270560,2013-04-23,1782853,Laura,"We absolutely LOVED the Airstream!  It's a perfect place for a couple  - it has a great, relaxed vibe.  Marci was a perfect host and her toffee is to die for.  We will be back as soon as we can!"
949922,4286113,2013-04-24,5846752,Bekky,"Staying in Marci's Airstream was so much fun. My best friend and I stayed for one night in Austin on our cross country road trip and we almost didn't even want to leave the yard! The airstream was so cozy and better than we even expected. We also couldn't get enough of all her animals, namely her pups, cats and of course Fern the pig. The yard is so beautiful with flowers everywhere and we truly felt right at home. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we return to Austin. "
949922,4319821,2013-04-27,6082525,Tara Chez,"This place is fantastic and so charming. I wish I had a chance to spend more time there, rather than merely rest my head for a night. I would definitely recommend..."
949922,4338062,2013-04-29,5363371,Jeromy,We had a great weekend! The place was clean and comfortable and exactly what we needed.  We will definitely try to stay again!
949922,4393493,2013-05-02,4138265,Julie,Super sweet hosts and a lovely place to stay.  It felt like a cozy little home away from home.  The animals are adorable too!
949922,4406895,2013-05-03,5777941,Kristine Joy,"Marcy is very sweet and accommodating. I kept texting her to change my schedule (getting the key) and she was very flexible and easy to talk to. The airstream is a nice oasis from the Texas road. Comfortable, unique, and tons of privacy! Fern, the potbelly pig, is fun to meet :)"
949922,4475595,2013-05-07,5628140,Danica,Great place!  Very clean and comfortable.  Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.
949922,4607918,2013-05-14,6339902,Brian,"Great Host with a lovely, comfortable place to stay. We only stayed for a night but my girlfriend loved petting the animals, and the complimentary toffee was AMAZING! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Highly recommended!"
949922,4619843,2013-05-15,6288506,Ileana,Marcy's trailer is super cute and comfortable.  She adds these really sweet touches like leaving some of her delicious toffee and fresh flowers in the trailer.  The space is private and quiet.  The backyard is very well kept and the property is a 10 minute drive to some pretty cool bars and restaurants.  Thanks Marcy!
949922,4642314,2013-05-17,6328415,Leslie,"My better half and I had a great stay at the airstream. Marcy is a sweet, welcoming host, and her toffee is amazing! Unfortunately, we didn't stay for more than one night. Hopefully we will have the opportunity to stay at her place next time we visit Austin!"
949922,4703101,2013-05-21,5384934,Jackie,"We absolutely LOVED our complete stay @ our new Austin retreat! The whole experience was perfectly fitting for both of us.  The perrenial gardens, chickens, dogs, Fern~ my most favorite Pot Belly pig ever, made our cozy Airstream stay, simply perfect!!!. The Airstream itself was eclectic and tastefully decorated.   We walked or used the buses to go everywhere we needed!  A few times that was an interesting experience since we in big Dallas don't use these bus routes.  Could have & would have stayed another week if we could!  We will Definately be back~ SOON~ we hope!  The hospitality of this family is warm & generous,  yet leaving you all the privacy you wish to have.  PERFECT ,"" hidden garden""  getaway!!!   Loved our Austin trip.
THANK YOU~ for hosting us!

Marcy is so friendly and accomodating, we felt right at home.  Her yard (complete with chickens, cats and a pig) is like a little garden hide-away.  Too bad it rained most of our stay, or we might have just hung out in her yard all day.  Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a unique Austin experience!"
949922,4864445,2013-05-29,2574350,Iris,"Marcella was a perfect host! My husband and I can be very introverted and we never felt uncomfortable whether we stayed inside all day on the computer or sitting in her lovely backyard watching the chickens. The airstream itself is charming, with all the amenities one would need, and we found ourselves joking the whole stay that we needed to find one for us. The location is conveniently near Hyde Park and a ton of neat Austin places, which Marcella maintains a tidy list in her guest guide. I really can't say enough about how accommodating and kind she was to us. What a perfect little getaway!

(Also, Marcella makes some absolutely divine homemade toffee!)"
949922,4883019,2013-05-30,6409909,Cameron,"This Airstream is truly a gem. Me and my girlfriend only stayed for one night, but it was a very enjoyable place to stay. The garden Marcella has crafted, as well as the animals makes for a great atmosphere. Little details inside the Airstream were a great touch (loved the comics on the bathroom wall!), the toffee was delicious, water jug much appreciated and the place was very comfortable. All amenities were just as she described, full working bathroom, comfortable bed and it was nice and cool inside with the A/C (in case anyone was worried about staying cool in the summer, we had the place COLD). All in all, a great experience. We will definitely be staying gain in the future. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique, comfortable, affordable place to stay in Austin. Its away from the hustle, bustle, noise of the city, but very close to everything you need. Great location. Thanks again for the hospitality."
949922,4901441,2013-06-01,5606396,Maggie,"We loved Marcella's place, just wish we could have stayed longer! Got in late at night and left by 9:00 to stand in line at Franklin's. But, the property is great, the animals are very sweet, the trailer is adorable and perfect for 2 people, and the toffee is to die for ;) We definitely had to buy some to take home. 

If we're in Austin again we will definitely aim to come back here!"
949922,4983557,2013-06-05,6170501,Elizabeth,"What an amazing time! My husband and I stayed in Marcella's Airstream for 4 nights when visiting Austin and it was perfect! Clean, well laid-out, and comfy, the Airstream made a great base for our travels. The location is right by the bus, too, so it is really easy to get downtown. Marcella was wonderful! Very helpful and friendly. And she makes awesome toffee :)."
949922,5014349,2013-06-07,3078976,Charissa,"What an absolute joy it was to stay in Marcella and Meredith's vintage Airstream trailer.  You couldn't ask for two warmer or more accommodating hostesses and the space is incredible.  I felt right at home the moment I entered the trailer.  It was absolutely adorable.  I loved the fact that M & M put their own special touches in the Airstream.  I enjoyed reading their story and loved the fact that they foster and adopt children.  

If you want a clean, comfortable space that is rich in visual appeal and filled with love, stay in this vintage Airstream.  I can't say enough good things about this place and plan on coming back again soon for a much longer stay."
949922,5150439,2013-06-15,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,The airstream is right out of a fabulous Etsy page.  I loved the location in the beautiful backyard and the owners are excellent.  I am booking another stay on my next trip.
949922,5237435,2013-06-19,6803397,Katherine,"I had a wonderful time at Marcella and Meredith's, and I would highly recommend staying in their airstream to other airbnb users. The airstream itself is thoughtfully furnished and decorated—with a lot of character and charm—and it made for an amazing experience. Their yard and animals were lovely as well. Marcella and Meredith were lovely hosts—very easy to communicate with. My friend and I were traveling without a car, and they gave us a lot of great suggestions for getting around without one. This was my first airbnb experience, and it was certainly a wonderful one! "
949922,5281298,2013-06-22,6724124,Brennan,"Staying in this Airstream in Austin was such a treat!  My friend and I were traveling through on a cross-country road trip and this sweet abode was a great place for us to land while we spent two nights in Austin. Its a bit tucked away from the downtown scene but that was OK for us as we had a car and the Austin bus system was stellar. Marcella was a great hostess and we loved meeting her tribe, including their pet pig!"
949922,5342228,2013-06-25,6083640,Bronwyn,"I absolutely adored staying in the Airstream, it was cosy, comfy, and had an abundance of character. Marcy and her family are delightful hosts and meeting them was definitely a highlight of visiting Austin. Right from the get go got quick and informative responses from Marcy. I highly recommend the Airstream."
949922,5420099,2013-06-29,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,I've stayed in the lovely airstream trailer 3 times.  Love it.
949922,5518749,2013-07-03,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,I have stayed 3 times and it is my favorite abode in Austin.  Quiet and private.  
949922,5545408,2013-07-05,6646730,Chance,Cozy DIY paradise! Marcella is a great host. She addressed all my questions and concerns and made me feel welcome. The airstream is so lovely! It's charming with all the necessary amenities. I had a pleasant time relaxing in the airstream after long days of exploring Austin. 
949922,5651530,2013-07-09,7199020,Melissa,Loved the space!! Such a homey experience. Highly recommended!
949922,5678247,2013-07-11,1548419,Elizabeth,"We had a great time at the Airstream--my daughter fell madly in love with Fern, the pig, and enjoyed having the run of the yard for playtime. It was a charming and well thought out space."
949922,5873006,2013-07-20,7153363,Theodor,"We spent a few nights in Austin TX, living in Marcella's backyard RV. Austin was great, but these people made it amazing!

The RV was clean and with good AC. It was decorated with nostalgia- making the stay somewhat magic. The fact that Marcella and Meredith had roosters, hens, chickens, two giant dogs, two kittens, a pot-belly pig named Fern made the stay very fun! (If you're not an animal fan- don't worry, the animals are kept away from the RV)

Marcella was a great and helpful host.

Thank you for a great stay in Austin :)"
949922,5992545,2013-07-25,7302619,Spencer,I wish I could give more than 5 stars! What a great concept that's executed perfectly. My wife and I stayed here while apartment hunting and it was awesome. We highly recommend it for anyone travelling through Austin.
949922,6056411,2013-07-28,7431397,Brittany,"We had a short stay overnight in Austin, but the location was great! 10 to 15 minutes to downtown and there's so much to do in the surrounding area. The airstream is cozy  and comfortable. The A/C was a welcome sight and it got comfortably frosty in there. We never actually met Marcella, but she communicated quickly through email and gave us complete access even when she wasn't home. 

Host also provides pretty much any toiletries you can think of, so don't worry about that! A nice touch with some local toffee, too. Overall A + experience. "
949922,6112846,2013-07-30,7331893,Melissa,My husband and I stayed from July 27- 29. It was my birthday weekend and staying at Marcella's made it the best. The airstream was adorable and the backyard was just the same. Pepper the kitten was an excellent host that kept us entertained as we tried to stay out of the heat. We are looking forward to visiting again.
949922,6166891,2013-08-01,7773408,Chase,I stayed at the airstream for two nights with my girlfriend while between houses.  The place has charm to spare and was plenty of space for us to unwind.  Loved the decorations and the fine touches.  Perfect for what it is.  The host was very accommodating and we felt very welcomed.  I loved waking up with the rooster crowing and seeing Fern (the pig) lounging in the evening.  I would definitely recommend this to anyone in need of a temporary place to stay.
949922,6216671,2013-08-04,1518136,Melissa,Marcella and her family were so welcoming when we stayed in the caravan. We loved the chickens and pig on the property and the caravan couldn't have been cuter inside. I highly recommend staying here if you are ever in Austin. 
949922,6265844,2013-08-05,7286287,Allyson,"I live in San Antonio, but a friend and I decided to take a mini-vacation in Austin. The airstream was adorable, our hosts were really friendly and helpful, and it was a perfect little getaway!"
949922,6481696,2013-08-13,140007,Maggie,"Beautiful spot, lovely/helpful host, would definitely return."
949922,6544649,2013-08-16,275328,Phil,An extremely amazing place!  Highly recommended and I can't wait to book it for my next Austin trip. 
949922,6654937,2013-08-20,993926,Danni,"We had such a nice time visiting Austin and staying at Marcella's. She has a wonderful house and garden, which made the experience even better. The airstream is comfortable and large enough for two people to move around freely. It has air-conditioning which cools the whole trailer down quickly. Hot water is great as is the shower pressure. 

Check-in process was smooth and we were made very welcome by the family (including all the animals!)

Thank you for letting us stay!"
949922,6716006,2013-08-22,7862723,Ellet,"I definitely recommend this adorable airstream! The atmosphere is magical- from the cute decor to the beautiful yard filled with dogs, chickens, and a cute lil pig. I am so happy that we were able to soak up some of the good energy while we stayed here. The location was accessible and traveling from the home was easy. We did not get a chance to speak with our hosts much, but we admire their family and their values. We hope to stop by again in the future."
949922,6748021,2013-08-23,7307659,Meta,"This airstream and house are full of charm. This was one of our highlights on a very long road trip. The backyard and the little pig were a bonus. Marcella is a great host, she will help guide you to the right places to see in Austin, and the dark chocolate toffee is some of the best I've had. I hope we go back one day, and spend more time here."
949922,6781438,2013-08-25,5443818,Emily,"We had a fantastic birthday weekend staying in the Airstream. Marcella is warm and welcoming; we loved the house, garden, pig, chickens, dogs, cats, and smiling kids. The home has great positive energy. The Airstream itself exceeded our expectations and is an awesome value for staying in Austin. We most loved the family's story and finding out that our stay was contributing to an amazing cause."
949922,6835188,2013-08-26,7507062,Pauline,Our best stay while in Austin! A cute unique place in a wonderful backyard! Highly recommended for those who enjoy close quarters. 3 Great homemade artwork and friendly pets.
949922,6888008,2013-08-28,8109851,Zoe,"What a magical place Marcella has made this airstream into! It is an advertisement for all airstreams in fact, as it made us think twice about living in anything else (almost). My boyfriend and I spent one night on Marcella's land, and it was a highlight of our trip cross-country. Thank you again for the lovely stay!"
949922,6948742,2013-08-31,8369846,Emma,"Dear Marcella, Meredith, Rosa, Lilly, Makenzie and all the lovely animals, 

Staying in your airstream and meeting you guys was one of the highlights of our three week trip in the states. Our stay in Austin would not have been the same if we hadn't stayed those 2 days in the #mmairstream :) I can only hope that we ever get the chance to come back one day. 

Love,
Emma and Louise
Stockholm, Sweden

949922,7093418,2013-09-06,3968743,Jackie,What a great stay! We loved the visit to Austin and the stay at this great Austin hideaway. I recommend that you plan for relaxing mornings in the garden drinking coffee before you head out on your adventures! Also - you will likely benefit from brining or renting a car so that you can explore all of Austin!
949922,7128619,2013-09-07,4216835,Laura,Marcella was a great hostess! My husband and I stayed in the airstream for one night and we really enjoyed it. It's super cute and comfortable and is in a great location. 
949922,7257666,2013-09-13,4470529,Ben,"Marcella clearly put a lot of thought into remodeling and furnishing this airstream.  Everything I thought to look for I found, but no unnecessary clutter.  The AC unit rapidly cools the space and blows directly onto the bed.  I really like firm mattresses so the futon was perfect.  

Marcella and her family were generous with confections but also respected my privacy.  Positioned in a lovely back garden, the trailer is a very pleasant place to spend your time in Austin.

My only caution is that the family has a small dog that can be quite vocal early in the morning.  It wasn't a problem for me as I'm up early, but something to consider if you like to sleep in late."
949922,7372493,2013-09-17,8309992,Tori,"We loved staying here. From toffee in the trailer to Fern the pig to pictures the kids drew us, we would stay here any time we were in Austin. The backyard is gorgeous and the inside of the Airstream is beautifully decorated. Will recommend to everyone we know! "
949922,7500777,2013-09-22,5173278,Luis,"Cute space! The airstream was perfect and so cozy with NPR playing, water in the fridge, and good reads on the bookshelf when we arrived. Wish we could have stayed longer!"
949922,7599750,2013-09-26,7595910,Alicia,"It's a cozy little space away from the bustle.  M&M and children were delightful   I took the buses all over Austin which was a great experience.  Bus stops close by.  

peace to you all, Alicia"
949922,7622215,2013-09-27,7904221,Joanna,"My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Marcie's airstream! It was the perfect size for us, and super cozy. We loved the decor and little DIY touches that made it feel more homey. The toffee was delicious, and we fell in love with her dog Holly. We'll definitely stay there again the next time we visit Austin! "
949922,7672304,2013-09-29,8336114,Kerrisa,"What a perfect experience! I don't know where to begin thanking our host for sharing a part of her beautiful home with us. It's in an East side neighborhood with tons of options for tacos and coffee nearby. This adorable little airstream was clean, cozy and stocked with homemade English toffee! There is no shortage of cute, DIY touches! The chickens, pups and pet piggy was just the cherry on top! "
949922,7818456,2013-10-04,8974778,Lauren,"It's impossible for me to convey in words how happy we are to have found this airstream and this family. The airstream is so adorable and cozy, with nice soft lighting, adjustable AC, and your own personal mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. It's fully equipped, you might not ever want to leave..... And then there's Marcella and Meredith, who are so relaxed and kind, they will answer all of your questions and welcome you like family. Their sweet little girls and yard full of calm, well-behaved pets will warm your soul."
949922,7912613,2013-10-08,6342299,Javier,It was an absolute delight to meet Marcy. She was very accommodating kind and thoughtful. We loved the place and all it's intricacies. It was exactly what we were looking for and really created the experience of Austin we hoped for. She and Meredith are great people who contribute so much to this world. I highly recommend their airstream and look forward to staying with them again.
949922,7963266,2013-10-10,6188171,Jon,"Such a fantastic getaway with cuteness aplenty.  I visited Austin for a conference and booked this place due to its cost and kitsch.  Turned out I got much more in terms of warm hospitality from Marci & Meredith.  They have a wonderful family and many animals that you'll grow to love roaming their backyard.  

I grew up in San Antonio & visited Austin quite a bit, but never spent appreciable time on the east side.  Their location is within minutes of downtown, yet I found plenty of great restaurants and bars much closer to their house.  

For an Airstream, it was a very comfortable bungalow.  They were smart to install an AC window unit, which makes the Airstream pleasant even with the humid heat of South Central Texas.  

Only downside may have been a periodically slow WiFi connection.  Otherwise, this place had everything else one would need for their stay.  Couldn't thank them both of them enough.  Definitely marking this place for any return trips to the ATX.

"
949922,7988911,2013-10-11,9107825,Kyshona,I stayed at Marcella's lovely abode for a quick over night visit. What a beautiful home and spirit she and her partner have! I will definitely look to come back for another stay AND tell everyone I know to seek them out as well. And the toffee!!! Goodness! 
949922,8126744,2013-10-16,6708387,Andrée,"This family's space and story is just wonderful! Would easily send others there. Sweet kids, pets and hosts. You'll enjoy the treats too!"
949922,8178305,2013-10-19,642435,Blake,"My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of setting up camp for two nights in this cute little airstream during the Austin stop of our cross-country road trip. This place just screams country-style comfort. The airstream itself is very well taken care of, whimsically decorated, and quite comfortable. It was chilly when we arrived but the space heater warmed up the entire cabin quite fast. Marcy was a very gracious host and we had a blast playing with the lovable pig Fern and the other cute animals that were nearby. The location was great - downtown Austin and all the hotspots were just a quick drive away. Would definitely love to stay again!"
949922,8250578,2013-10-22,2383419,Jessica,"My boyfriend and I were in town for a wedding. It was my first time in Austin, and we had a lovely stay in Marcella's Airstream trailer. It was a lovely setting, we felt very welcome. The yard is adorable, and Fern the pig is very sweet!

Thanks Marcella!"
949922,8328290,2013-10-26,7940251,Ashlyn,Adorable! Cozy! Homemade toffee! A pig! What more could you ask for? I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 
949922,8367554,2013-10-28,8371404,Clara,"Amazing! What a neat place. It was our first air bnb experience and we can't wait to stay at the airstream again. Perfect location, amazing proximity to the city and Marcella was easy to communicate with. Thanks for everything!
"
949922,8460784,2013-11-01,1000951,Zao And Margaret,"The most excellent host, with such a magical backyard.  The airstream is clean and comfortable.  She even makes her own English toffee, which is so delicious we just had to buy some ourselves.  If you are looking for an unique, unforgettable experience in Austin, this is it!!   "
949922,8495172,2013-11-02,1000951,Zao And Margaret,"Fantastic!!  Marcella is a warm and caring, and the backyard where the trailer is located is simply charming and magical.  They have a kingdom of little animals: chickens, dogs, cats and a potbelly pig!   The trailer is cozy, would strongly recommend it to all those who are looking for an unique experience in Austin.  "
949922,8616340,2013-11-08,1260461,Johanna,"I stayed a night solo in November. Marcella was lovely, as was the the whole family, including all the adorable (and quiet) animals in the backyard! The trailer had all the amenities I needed to be comfy (including really nice, fluffy towels) and it was a much-needed quiet getaway for me after a very busy trip. Marcella was very communicative throughout, flexible, warm and accommodating. She even gave me a ride to the bus station when I needed to depart a day early! On that note, I should mention that I found this place to be highly accessible for non-car folks like myself (I went to a concert that ended quite late in the evening and was still able to easily catch the bus home), and the bus fare is incredibly reasonable in Austin, which helped me trim my travel budget."
949922,8685584,2013-11-12,79587,Jill,"what a great place! We really enjoyed our stay. so cozy! Always a fun time in austin and staying here put it over the top, marcella couldnt.have been a nicer host! Thankyou!!"
949922,8713435,2013-11-13,79587,Jill,wonderful stay ! airstream was cozy and fantastic and marcella couldn't have been nicer. we will definitely stay again ! 
949922,8737650,2013-11-14,9583388,Jake & Amanda,"Very cool. Don't think it weird bc it's in the backyard. It's a large lot and the lady made us feel very at home. Stylin' inside, great hot shower and bath. Feed the pig!"
949922,8830868,2013-11-20,2045411,Revin,"Marcy was a very pleasant host: available, but not overbearing. My 7 year old son and I stayed in her Airstream for a week while we were in Austin, and it was a perfect base of operations. My son said he wanted to ""live there for a year."" Good location, friendly people & animals, and wonderful toffee (seriously, have her make you some to take home)!"
949922,8856611,2013-11-22,9065850,John,"The Airstream is in the backyard of a lovely home that is full of happy children, chickens, dogs, cats and a cool Milkbone eating pig named Fern! The place is clean, quiet and peaceful and a perfect place to relax after a day exploring Austin. You get a jar of homemade toffee and a comfortable bed and if you have never stayed in an Airstream, you will be surprised at how roomy the place is. The hosts were very friendly and willing to offer advice on places to eat and visit while in the area. They have sweet little place that I would recommend highly and once you stay and learn the story of what they are doing, you will be glad you chose their home for your visit to Austin."
949922,8977167,2013-11-30,1547011,Noelle,"This is a fun, vintage, cheerfully appointed space - highly recommend. "
949922,9050335,2013-12-03,8368529,Andrea,"We had a great time staying in this little guest trailer!  It was such a quirky, fun retreat- I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin.  The trailer is in the back of the yard, you walk through a lovely garden to get to the front door.  Although there is a virtual petting zoo around you, the space is quiet and private.
We loved the thoughtful touches Marcella left for us= everything from maps and restaurant options to treats for us (delicious english toffee) and treats to feed Fern the Pig!
We were glad to have  the mini fridge and coffee maker, the trailer is set up with heaters, a nice desk area, and a plumbed bathroom with hot water.  Being from out of town, I felt the location was good- we had no trouble exploring the city (but we did have a car).
Loved it, our thanks to the wonderful hosts!"
949922,9084431,2013-12-05,5669536,Phoebe,"My grandparents were visiting from Florida so I booked them two nights in Marcella's airstream. They loved it, specifically the ""location and atmosphere."" They called it an ""oasis in the city."" And Marcella was a total sweetheart. "
949922,9102927,2013-12-07,7776308,Mary Catherine,"I love this place. I've now stayed in the airstream for two visits to Austin and I am planning for more. 
The airstream is a funky and eclectic space that is spacious and very cozy. 
You can spend your time working at the desk listening to the vintage radio, relaxing in the garden with Fern the resident pig, or lounging in bed while eating the homemade English toffee created with lots of love by Marcella. 

I love the space that Marcella and Meredith have created. I recommend this place to all my friends traveling to Austin. 
"
949922,9178037,2013-12-11,8328325,Kate,"Even though the normally balmy Texas temperatures plummeted below freezing, Marcy helped us stay warm in the airstream with space heaters and quilts. Delicious homemade toffee (which she sells on etsy) kept us sweet and happy. I won't mention everything that's in the trailer (it's too cute and great as a surprise). I only wish it had been warmer outside so we could have spent more time with the dogs, cats, chickens, and pig! The perfect Austin hipster hideaway."
949922,9239055,2013-12-16,4715090,Ann,"What a cool experience!  Marcella's Airstream is its own ""must do"" in Austin!  From booking to arriving to the trailer, everything was seamless and easy.  Marcella is super quick to respond to any and all questions and the listing is exactly what you are getting-adorable trailer, TOFFEE!, pig, and roster, and dogs, oh my!  

Bus stop super close, about 20 minutes to downtown.  There is also a laundromat and convenience store down the street from the trailer.  

Stay here, you'll want to book again!"
949922,9328539,2013-12-22,2082669,James,"We spent 3 nights in the Airstream, and it was great. Comfy, and a five minute walk to the main bus line that took us directly downtown.
Marcella's place seemed like a sanctuary with happy animals there that were just waiting to be petted.
We definitely recommend the Airstream if one wants a unique place to stay that is accessible to all that Austin offers! "
949922,9378885,2013-12-24,9089547,Scott,"Marcella was absolutely wonderful.  The airstream was so unique and fun.  It was decorated with maps and newspaper comics on the wall and supplied with everything you need.  Including a very comfortable memory foam mattress.  The back yard was a very exciting and fun experience with animals from chickens and roosters to a pet pig, 2 dogs, and cats which Marcella was very welcoming to allowing you to freely pet and feed all the animals and she was willing to take time and show us tricks that the animals have learned.  We greatly enjoyed our stay and would recommend anybody to stay there. "
949922,9463027,2013-12-30,9357683,Chelsea,"Marcella was a great host and the Airstream was a cozy home for us during our week in Austin. The bed was very comfortable and with the heater we were nice and warm. Don't expect long, hot showers - but it does the trick. We would definitely stay here again. "
949922,9494864,2013-12-31,9930344,Sinead,"My boyfriend and I stopped in Austin and stayed in the airstream for 1 night during our cross country road trip. We absolutely loved it and would definitely go back and plan to recommend it to others. We especially enjoyed the unique decor of the airstream as well as the adorable pet pig living near by! Overall it was an wonderful, cozy, inviting place to stay. Marcella's toffee is also amazing!! "
949922,9523017,2014-01-01,10194027,Bryan,"The airstream is a must see when visiting Austin ! Despite Austin weather , we visited it on a very cold week in December . The electric heater they provided was perfect for the space , and the extra warm blankets were a great added benefit. The decor inside was a perfect match to the Austin neighborhood vibe . Marcella was great with quick communication , and made our stay very effortless and  enjoyable . No complaints here and would strongly recommend a stay here to friends .  "
949922,9548452,2014-01-02,8105906,Mary,"Our stay was perfect!  The weather was chilly but the Airstream was cozy.  Loved meeting all the animals.  Wish we stayed longer than just one night.  Marcella and Meredith were bright, kind, and helpful hosts.  Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a unique experience!"
949922,9702308,2014-01-06,2462667,Whitney,My partner and I were looking for a relaxing vacation and an opportunity to explore Austin for the first time.  We absolutely loved the airstream!!  It was comfortable and beautifully decorated.  The backyard garden space is beautiful! And we couldn't get enough of Fern (the pig). Marcella is a fantastic host! We were hoping for slow days and relaxation.  Marcella gave us the space that we needed while providing comfort and useful recommendations when we asked!  OH and her family is lovely and the toffee is great!
949922,9746656,2014-01-07,10768210,Theresa,"Such a cozy little spot they have! I opted to sleep with Reggie, the cat (he likes to be big spoon). And as everyone has mentioned, there's a pig!!....and you can feed it!!! And he/she is very gentle!  Also, the English toffee is to die for."
949922,9761151,2014-01-08,10441003,Lena,"We had a magical stay in this beautiful vintage airstream. Marcella was very responsive, and provided us with everything we needed and was easy to communicate with. This place is a real gem! "
949922,9801754,2014-01-11,3104116,Nick,My girlfriend and I stayed here for a single night and loved our experience. The interior is comfy and well decorated. The yard itself is endearing and all the pets are friendly and adorable. Marcella was great and very accommodating. She answered any questions we had promptly. We would stay here again.
949922,9863583,2014-01-15,287845,Sara,"Wow, we loved it here! The Airstream is not only thoughtfully laid out, it's decorated in a super cute way that provides a surprisingly large amount of space. There is a magical backyard garden, a cat or two if you wish to invite them in, and the nicest hosts you'd ever want to meet. We loved the menagerie of happy pets and kiddos, and you get the feeling that Marcella and Meredith are really good at this whole nurturing thing. Kick back and enjoy your own vintage radio under the starry skies and plan to tackle some of the host's recommendations for restaurants (we loved Mi Madre and the Hula Hut). This is a special place that rubs off on you, leaving you with a better perspective on maybe how life should be. And isn't that what a vacation is all about? Highly recommended."
949922,9891153,2014-01-17,7776308,Mary Catherine,This was my third stay. I love this place. I hope to be back again soon. 
949922,9997277,2014-01-24,519291,Ambere,"What a slice of heaven!

Staying in the bubble of Airstream coziness was an absolute joy!  I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for an alternative habitat as part of their travels. 

Although I stayed mid week and didn't get much interaction with Marcella and family, she greeted me and showed me around and answered all my questions promptly via email when necessary.  I was able to have coffee in one of the many lawn chairs and enjoyed sharing my mornings with a flock of chickens as they made their way through the yard on their daily excursion.  I gave treats to both her pups and her sizable pot belly pig Fern- each of them so friendly I could hardly tear myself away!

The Airstream is cozy and has everything you could quite possibly want, including homemade toffee (which I greedily ate up!) and can be purchased for gifts (or yourself) if you please.

Without a doubt I recommend this space and the hosts to any traveler!"
949922,10019223,2014-01-26,6337090,Amy,"We enjoyed our stay very much! The airstream was so cute and cozy, and Marcella and Meredith were welcoming hosts. A winter storm blew through during our stay but Marcella provided us with space heaters and plenty of blankets. Thank you so much for having us!"
949922,10093765,2014-01-30,7921216,Bec,"We had a fantastic stay at Marcella's, was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We felt welcome from the first moment we arrived and felt very comfortable in the airstream, which is tastefully furnished and decorated. Austin was quite cold during our stay but we found that the heaters warmed up the airstream quite quickly. We didn't have a car during our visit but it wasn't an issue as there is a bus service within walking distance that goes to the university and also downtown. 
Marcella and her family are wonderful hosts and wonderful people, do yourself a favour and stay at this great place."
949922,10320870,2014-02-13,3731100,Kayla,"I had such a marvelous vacation here.  The inside of the Airstream is so brightly decorated, it's like out of a movie.  On warms, sunny days, it was hard to want to leave and explore Austin, but instead have a good cup of coffee in their stunning backyard.  (The chickens  were my favorite).

The hosts are lovely and attentive.  They give you tons of privacy but everything you might need to ask about is a quick text away.  Make sure you read the guest book, where the hosts have added lots of suggestions for places to eat or have coffee.

The location is terrific.  I found myself bragging about places I had tried in Austin that none of my friends living here have tried, yet you can still get to downtown or anywhere you want very quickly.

Can't recommend staying with these wonderful people enough!  "
949922,10344135,2014-02-15,3942914,Christie,How can I sum up how adorable this place is? All the animals really make it an amazing place to stay. A car is ideal there if you don't want to work off of public transportation and cabs at night. 
949922,10381040,2014-02-17,10729095,Chali,"We booked a night at the airstream for Valentine's Day, as a little getaway, even though my boyfriend and I live in Austin. We were so pleased and had such a wonderful time! The airstream trailer is quite spacious, and is a wonderfully unique experience that I highly recommend to anyone else coming to visit Austin. Marcella and her family were also just so sweet and lovely hostesses. They have really decorated the trailer so elegantly. Every single detail was so cute! We loved supporting them, since they have this airstream trailer mostly to bring in extra cash for all of the children that they foster. Marcella also gives her guests a generous sample of the AMAZING English toffee that she makes from scratch! We enjoyed being around all of their lovely and friendly animals, as well, including Fern the pig! You really can't get a better priced and unique experience in Austin, in my opinion!"
949922,10463108,2014-02-20,10535788,Chelsey,"Marcella was a great host. Quirky little airstream with a great yard, awesome animals, and superb food recommendations. I'd definitely stay here again!"
949922,10566217,2014-02-25,10338402,Parvoneh,"I've been home for a week and I've had daily daydreams about our stay in the M&M trailer. I was drawn in by the photos of Fern and wondered if we might rough it in a trailer to be able to stay in such a wonderfully animal-filled yard. No need--the airstream is just as nice as a hotel, only cozy! We loved sitting outside and petting cats, visiting the pups and pig, and being shown snails and slugs by sweet young people. I watched as the chickens literally flew the coop. Those birds made me laugh with their feathered legs--like they were wearing pants :D Marcella took their exit in stride. It's clear she loves to create warm, beautiful spaces. A really kind family who were friendly and welcoming but also gave plenty of privacy. The airstream has its own key and it's easy to waltz through the yard gate and find a comfortable place to relax. Plenty of outlets for recharging phones, iPads, etc.

We had great weather but even if it had been hot or chilly Marcella has the airstream well-equipped with heaters and a/c. We used the heater at night since it dipped into the 40s or 50s and it was perfect. Other reviewers warned that the water heater was small and Marcella also warned about it. We didn't really have an issue, though it might have gotten lukewarm once when I dilly dallied. The shower is a stall that seems original to airstreams--compact and efficient (just an FYI for tall folks). The shower head can be removed to be handheld. The bathroom has a heavy curtain for a door, so it might be a little less private than home. But if you're traveling with people you're close to it's not an issue at all.

For those who are willing to plan ahead, I totally recommend a car2go membership. The airstream is just inside the ""home area"" for the carshare program and since it's a residential neighborhood we always found our car2go parked exactly where we had left it the night before. Registration takes about a week and a card has to be mailed. A local friend tipped me off in advance and I was really happy to be able to zip around on our own schedule!

Marcella's toffee was as delicious as promised and she had my extra toffee order ready for me fresh and just in time for our departure. What a dreamlife--so hard to be in a Brooklyn winter when all I want to do is go back to this airstream in Austin!"
949922,10716328,2014-03-04,11120059,Travis,"We had an amazing weekend adventure to Marcella and Meredith's awesome Airstream trailer. They were incredible hosts and took the time to introduce us to everyone on their little farm. My girlfriend and I lived in Austin a combined 10 years and this trip helped us see a completely new side of the city.

I would recommend the Airstream to anyone and everyone looking to visit Austin. "
949922,10774995,2014-03-07,2453631,Andy,"Not only is Marcella and amazing host, she makes the greatest toffee I've ever eaten (I even purchased a bunch to bring home for my wife - and she loves it too!) 

The hospitality spills out into all areas of their rental. From the decorations, to the renovations in airstream, to the landscaping; everything makes you feel comfy and cosy and at home.

I was lucky enough to book three nights here and truly loved it so much there were times I just stayed in instead of exploring. It was relaxing and truly felt like a getaway.

They are only a few minutes outside of town so I was able to get to everything I wanted to see very quickly. And it's easy to avoid the busy north/south freeways and get around even during rush hour. I did have a car (I've heard Austin has good public transit, but I honestly don't know). 

Feed the pig for sure! I thought he was taking a long time to chew the treat I gave him but he was actually giving kisses (they tough him to thank the person who gives a treat - how cute is that?!)

Seriously one of the best airbnb experiences I've ever had. I've stayed in places all around the country too. I would definitely stay here again, and longer next time! "
949922,10795077,2014-03-08,1787252,Megan,"Great place to stay! So eclectic and well decorated. Loved the maps on the walls, and the fact that there was a radio tuned to the country station. I got to meet the dogs, and Fern the pig, all very friendly. Marcella and her daughter Lilly (I didn't get to meet Meredith) made me feel right at home. They even had coffee and chocolate treats for me. Wonderful, relaxing backyard, perfect to sip coffee and enjoy the sunshine. I'm hoping to be back soon!"
949922,10837786,2014-03-10,11325948,Kaley,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was so great! The airstream is so adorable and perfectly ""Austin-y."" I especially appreciated all the little touches that made the stay so cozy, like the tea and coffee and the list of recommendations of things to do in Austin - I used to live there and there were things on the list even I had not done! As others have noted, the bus stop is super close and convenient for travel around the city. Marcy and Meredith are the sweetest hosts, even lending me their umbrella when the weather got rough...and the toffee is to DIE for. You can tell a lot of love went into creating the space, and I'm so glad they chose to share it with others. I would definitely return for another stay and have already recommended the MM Airstream to friends who might be looking for a weekend getaway."
949922,10997254,2014-03-17,981926,Kimberly,"My husband and I stayed here for a week during SXSW. We loved it. It's peaceful and quiet.  Clean and comfortable. Marcie and Meredith are warm and friendly hosts. Their pets are lovable and we had fun feeding them treats. We got treats as well, the homemade toffee is awesome and we brought some home with us! Will book again when we are back in the area."
949922,11089972,2014-03-20,1267800,Chris,A great place to stay. The trailer is fantastic - really cozy and quirky. Was very well equipped and the animals were fun. 
949922,11167103,2014-03-24,5869666,Elizabeth,"This review comes late, so sorry!!!

All I can say is that this place was my little oasis while staying in Austin. Don't go lookin' for luxury, this place is VINTAGE to the core, the newly renovated cottage near the house might suit you better if you don't have that warm fuzzy feeling the minute you step inside.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to chat with my host family as much as I would have liked. The beautiful main house, the menagerie of animals (all SWEET as pie), to their gorgeous little girl's playhouse, FROM MY FIRST REQUEST TO STAY, corresponding emails to and from Europe, UNTIL MY FINAL GOODBYE everything was professional. The whole AirB&B experience has been great!"
949922,11228936,2014-03-25,12969970,Amy,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay here.  The trailer is cozy and decorated with a lot of personal touches that make it feel very warm.   The style is tastefully eclectic. 

The bed was maybe a little short for Scott since he's just over 6 feet.  But I slept as well as I do at home - which is very well.

Marci made us feel right at home.  And it's beyond me how she trained Fern the pig to blow kisses at you when you give her treats - it's adorable.  Fern actually makes smoochy noises!  She cured me of a bad experience I had with pigs in a large animal science class.  I want to stay again and bring my sister."
949922,11253157,2014-03-26,13202192,Sarah,"Wow! What an amazing space! I surprised my boyfriend with a night in Austin for his birthday and Marcella's vintage Airstream provided the perfect getaway. The decor inside the Airstream is quaint, whimsical, and comfortable - we kept saying, ""Is this for real?!?"" The maps & comic strips used as wallpaper, the tiny bookshelf, the long desk space along one wall (complete with coffee maker, mugs & glasses, and cork screw!), the oh-so-soft-and-beautiful bedding... I could go on (and we did, the whole time we were there). Where you'll be sleeping is wonderful enough, but the part I think we enjoyed the most was the yard outside the Airstream. While waiting for a friend to meet up with us for dinner, we made a pot of coffee and sat in the Adirondack yard chairs outside the Airstream. Sitting in the light of the stars and the strings of Christmas lights, listening to the chickens and Fern the pig preparing for bed, and petting sweet Reggie - the grey cat who will no doubt find your lap - we truly felt like we were ""home away from home."" Marcella has created such a relaxing and inviting place to stay that would be perfect for a couple spending a few days in Austin or a single person needing a quiet yet idyllic space to get work done or relax. It is in a great location - close to all the ""good stuff"" in Austin but in a quieter, more residential area. Make sure to look through Marcella & Meredith's recommendations for things to do and places to eat; we tried one of their breakfast taco suggestions and were blown away! Last but not least, if you are staying with someone else, it is in your best interest to hide Marcella's delicious homemade toffee when you get there because you're not going to want to share. Seriously."
949922,11296083,2014-03-29,4062914,Abdulla,"Such a unique experience and a lovely place, a very relaxing stay at the airstream and had fun feeding the animals. Love every minute i've stayed there.  

The only regret that i haven't spend more time there."
949922,11319003,2014-03-30,1404792,Anneliese,"The airstream was so cute! And the yard was very enjoyable! Futon is not the most comfortable bed, but the place is so cute and the girls were so friendly we didn't mind."
949922,11581176,2014-04-08,11490807,Alexandra,"My boyfriend and I stayed over a weekend and when we arrived, we were showered with Marcy's wonderful hospitality. Her toffee, dogs, chickens, and adorable pig brightened the rainy days! She was incredibly helpful with recommendations for bus transportation, restaurants, and anything else we needed. It was such a fun and memorable experience. We'd recommend her charming airstream to any and all who want to visit Austin!"
949922,11644322,2014-04-10,11312108,Samantha,"So cute - pretty much exactly what the pictures show, and better. Stayed here with a friend, we were cozy despite the chilly nights. And we made friends with cats, chickens, dogs and a pig! It was a really nice spot to come back to and rest midday, as well. Pretty easy access from generally anywhere we were in Austin."
949922,11738708,2014-04-14,11669204,Katie,"Our recent stay in Marcella and Meredith's airstream was so wonderful! The location of their home is great and allowed us to explore areas we might not have otherwise. They are so incredibly hospitable! There were great recommendations in their guest book and gave any suggestions if we needed one. 

Whenever we passed in their yard they were always up for conversation and asked how we were liking our stay and if we needed anything. The airstream was so cute and comfortable! I would definitely recommend their place to anyone visiting Austin! We will be back!"
949922,11912963,2014-04-19,11203195,Christina,"Me and my boyfriend had a fabulous stay in the airstream! It's the perfect size for two people and is filled with so many special touches, the radio was already on playing country music and there's jar filled with tasty toffee. All of the animals were great to wake up to each morning. Fern the pig is so cute and the dogs are super friendly as well. Marcella was a great host, very nice and helpful with any questions we had. I definitely recommend staying and here and hope to again in the future. "
949922,11949582,2014-04-20,9663751,Genna,"This airstream is magical, as is the yard it accompanies. M&M weren't home when I was there, but their niece was a incredible host. I had been looking forward to staying here for months, and it exceeded my very high expectations. Clean, comfortable, wonderful."
949922,11983479,2014-04-21,10563942,Katie,"The airstream was exactly as it appears in the photos; charming, magical and adorable. The toffee left for us was incredible. It was just what we needed for a fun and different getaway. If you're tall the bed may be too short for you, but was fine for us! I would stay here again!"
949922,12180868,2014-04-25,11598788,Tanya,"This little airstream was the epitome of cute! I loved my stay here while visiting Austin. Marcella was a great host and made my visit comfortable. I enjoyed making a few new furry and feathered friends, too. Can't wait to head back to Austin!"
949922,12225991,2014-04-26,14464499,Kay,"Lovely stay in Austin.  Welcoming garden and sweet lodging awaited us after a long, hot drive.  Marcella's delicious toffee was an added treat.  Her suggestions for dinner and places to explore were much appreciated!  Perfect place in keeping with the ""Keep Austin Weird"" mantra!  Thanks!"
949922,12266588,2014-04-28,10428929,Ashley,"Such a special place. Delightful, unique stay with kind and lovely hosts, adorable animals, and gorgeous backyard. I highly recommend if you're looking for a unique experience in Austin. "
949922,12680093,2014-05-07,6414102,Taryn And Kaitlin,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
949922,13127322,2014-05-20,9338811,Brent,"This is a wonderful place to stay.  It's situated in a beautiful garden, with roaming chickens, lots of other bird life, flowers and of course Fern the pot bellied pig.  (Fern is not roaming around, she lives in a large pen). We looked forward to returning to this temporary home each day just because it was so relaxing. Marcella Musgrave and her partner are the owners/hosts and they have made this space a labor of love.  A few minutes from downtown, but overall very serene and nice...we loved it! "
949922,13212349,2014-05-22,1588008,Tania,"I can't say enough wonderful things about my stay in Marcella's vintage airstream in Austin. It is tucked away at the back of their oasis of a property - green and lush, with dogs, cats, chickens and a pig, and many spots to relax in the sun or shade. I'd never been in an aistream before and as soon as I walked in I had this rash idea that I would just give up my life in Canada and live in it! It's THAT amazing. : )  It has airconditioning, a double bed, a tiny washroom and a fridge & microwave. I shared it with a good friend and we were fine - the washroom door is actually a curtain so you'd want to share it with someone you're comfortable with! The walls are lined with maps and comics, and you get a free sample of tasty treats made by Marcella, who was a very responsive and friendly host. I would definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and wonderful experience in Austin!"
949922,13539899,2014-05-30,9121740,Hanna,The airstream is a fantastic spot to stay in East Austin. Cozy an comfortable with fantastic hosts. Very clots to bus stop to take you downtown. 
949922,13741285,2014-06-03,5523560,Annie,"We loved this place!  Marcella responded quickly when I requested a reservation and it was super easy to book our nights.  It was everything we wanted in an Austin AirBNB!  We loved the pig, the puppies, the chickens, the kittens, the gardens, their story and the toffee!  The airstream was cozy and comfortable.  I was concerned before the trip about the AC-being that its summer in Tx-but it was a perfect temperature even in the late afternoon.  The bed-while a futon-was more comfortable than most real beds I've slept in and we were really close to everything we wanted to explore in Austin.  Anytime I go back to Austin, this will be the first place I look to stay."
949922,13850460,2014-06-06,14718293,Rosie,"The airstream was awesome! A gorgeous place to stay, with plenty of space and delicious toffee. We had plenty of privacy down the end of the lovely garden, it was a delight to stay there. "
949922,13957472,2014-06-09,13320742,Lauren,"My experience with Marcella and this property was out of a dream! My boyfriend and I were looking for an intimate, relaxing getaway and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Marcella was extremely kind and her toffee was to absolutely die for! The animals that lived in the yard with us provided a surreal experience unlike any other. Very close to the city of Austin, as well as the bus station, making it easy to get into the city without worrying about leaving a car downtown & getting drinks. My boyfriend and I would stay here again in a heartbeat, it's exactly what we needed!"
949922,14070987,2014-06-10,11635762,Lorene,"I was just passing through Austin for one day/night, and I was able to book the Vintage Airstream almost immediately - it was nice to know I would have a place to stay. Upon arrival I was able to meet Marcella and her daughter. She was very welcoming, and pleasant and showed me to the airsteam. They really have their own private oasis on 51st St, Great location, and the neighborhood is very serene with everything you need within a nice distance. They left delicious homemade toffee in a jar for guest, which I will definitely be purchasing. I was able to meet their delightful chickens, and Etta the hound dog, and Fern the pig. It was indeed calming, and relaxing. The airstream was exactly as listed. "
949922,14183184,2014-06-14,12781492,William,"The only thing better than staying in the Vintage Airstream was having Marcella as our host!  The Airstream was cozy, comfortable, air-conditioned, full of amenities, and close to downtown (15 minutes by bus).  But what was really impressive is when Marcella texted us to let us know there was a tornado warning while we were downtown, making sure we were safe.

We loved our stay in Marcella's Airstream and plan on visiting again soon."
949922,14336167,2014-06-17,7364003,Lisa,"This was an absolutely great place to stay.  Marcella and Meredith are wonderful hosts and great people.  The  property in which the airstream sits is beautiful (almost like a hidden oasis or secret garden). Some of the highlights (other than just staying in a super cool airstream) were the very friendly animals including chickens, 2 wonderful dogs, some very happy cats, and of course Fern the pig, that can do quite a few tricks for treats!!!  As I am back to work today, I wish I was still there having my morning cup of coffee.  Finally the location is great, they are close to everything you would want to do in Austin.  I would definitely stay here again!   PS. The toffee rocks:)"
949922,14467172,2014-06-20,13504838,Sophie,"This place is such a haven! It was the best sanctuary you could ask for, and the perfect place to come home to after a log day in Austin. Marcie and Merideth were so accommodating. This a beautiful place with an even more beautiful story behind it. "
949922,14701126,2014-06-24,15773417,Missy,"Our stay was very short however I wish it had been longer. Their garden is amazing and tranquil, I felt as if I were at a beautiful retreat somewhere exotic. The little grey kitty was my most favorite furry friend in the garden but had time permitted, I am sure I would have loved the whole family of animals there on site. The toffee was absolutely amazing, I ordered some off Marcella's Etsy page to take back to my family. The airstream greeted us on our late arrival with its Christmas light path and once inside, the cuteness and charm was emitting from every corner. The attention to the small details, allowing for all of our small needs was great. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my fellow travelers. This was my first time using Airbnb and as long as there is an option where I am going, I will choose to travel through Airbnb again and again. "
949922,14904340,2014-06-29,13503377,Elle,"Excellent little spot in Austin and perfect for my cross-country travels. I was busy at a teaching conference during my visit to Austin, so I came in late and left early every day during my stay. Even so, I felt very welcome and comfortable in the airstream and really enjoyed the place! "
949922,15090935,2014-07-02,2198824,Skye,"Marcella's and Meredith's airstream is just what we wanted-and needed as a respite from the craziness of Austin! A divine place, a true haven they have made, you will not want to leave!!"
949922,15443324,2014-07-09,13155430,Timothy,Wonderful hosts and the Airstream was great! I can't wait to do it again!
949922,15815932,2014-07-16,7783331,Jeff,"What can we say? These women were absolutely delightful. They were so kind and extremely friendly. Each day we would chat and talk about where we were going and what we had already done. They have chickens, dogs, cats and a PIG! It was so much fun. We loved playing with all them. The airstream is really charming as well. It stays very cool in the Austin heat and has a built in shower too. Everyone and anyone should stay here. "
949922,15864370,2014-07-17,7783331,Jeff,"This is an extension of our other review! This place was so rad, we stayed another night! Thank you again! "
949922,15989015,2014-07-19,7477761,Edgar,"Marcy was the friendliest host ever, and with a group of friendly animal pals I couldn't stop smiling! I truly recommend everyone to stay in this beautiful airstream, you won't regret it. I'll definitely book my next stay with Marcy again! And please say hi to Reggie for me!"
949922,16393976,2014-07-27,6555980,Zelie,"The airstream was amazing! We really loved it, everything was perfect and just as we expected! The garden was lovely as well, and Marcella & Meredith were really nice ! Not too far from every nice place in Austin! Great place :)"
949922,16512557,2014-07-28,10218711,Rebecca,"What a charming airstream to stay in Austin!  Airstream has great decor!Great outdoor space with cats, dogs, and chickens! Owners are so friendly and full of helpful advice! Recommend to all who are thinking of staying here! "
949922,16648244,2014-07-31,9703656,Joachim,"The airstream is much better than we could ever imagine! It is situated in a beautiful oasis of a garden with friendly animals and even friendlier people. The airstream itself is supercool and very comfortable, and the hosts are very friendly and is always there to help you if you need any guideance. We had very hot and humid weather while visiting, but due to aircon., we managed to keep the indoor temperature low. Highly recommended for a stay in Austin!  Thanks! "
949922,16842465,2014-08-03,17108186,Amelie,The airstream was the perfect place for our short stay in Austin! Loved everything about it! We got to enjoy the beautiful backyard( it was an unusually cool day for August in Texas) and all of the animals which helped us to not miss ours as much! We'll definitely be coming back next time we make a trip to Austin!
949922,17051539,2014-08-06,15994984,Gaynor,The hosts Marcella and Meredith made us feel so welcome. The airstream was very comfortable and we really enjoyed the setting and the pets!!!
949922,17109137,2014-08-07,17638676,Adam,"This is such a cool and cozy space with extremely sweet hosts!  The airstream was perfectly clean, and stocked with coffee, ice water, and delicious homemade candy.  Marcy and her family keep chickens, a little pig, and a meticulous garden, which make for a very warm and welcome setting.  We had a great stay, and appreciate your kindness!  Thank you!"
949922,17277584,2014-08-10,16523794,Stephanie,"We loved staying here! Marcella waited up for us when we arrived late and had literally thought of EVERYTHING! We were very touched by the wonderful things Marcella and Meredith do and were lucky enough to meet some of their girls. The airstream was great, a really different experience and the thoughtfulness of the treats, shampoo, contact lens solution and even face scrub was amazing. The recommendations in the hand made guide books were so helpful and we wish we had stayed another night instead of moving downtown! Also...a piglet...and kitties...we loved it. The only thing is that it's a little way from the centre of town but the buses are good and close by."
949922,17402423,2014-08-11,770074,Lisa,"Very unique, Austin property!  If you want to stay in a vintage airstream, the hosts are very friendly and welcoming, very animal friendly which I love!  Interesting experience!  "
949922,18097170,2014-08-21,17478544,Pierre-Olivier,Marcella and Meredith were very welcoming. We had a very comfortable stay. We wish we could have stayed a bit longer than one night at their place. 
949922,18121354,2014-08-22,17659419,Ac,My stay was fantastic! Great experience. Trailer was very clean and comfortable. Very nice coming home at night and following the lights along my path to the trailer. 
949922,18329266,2014-08-25,816034,Eli,"The airstream was great. The yard is very magical and welcoming as well. I would definitely suggest staying here, though it's definitely a little far out if you are depending on walking and/or transit. The hosts were responsive and communicative. Overall, awesome place to stay!"
949922,18522442,2014-08-28,15121563,Glenn,"We spent three very nice days here. Marcy and Meredith, their children and pets were wonderful hosts! We already miss Reggie the cat who stopped by twice a day to say hello!"
949922,18556889,2014-08-28,19075383,Devin,"This infamous Austin spot was booked booked booked, so we were only able to get one night, but it was totally worth it! Great host, great spot, and such a fun trailer. Will def hit up again when we come back to ATX "
949922,19056219,2014-09-05,19686697,Victor,Had a fantastic time here. Loved aligning my values with my dollars. Super clean and cozy and the decor is fantastic. Enjoy the backyard and the animals. 
949922,19412913,2014-09-12,4600804,Mark,"What a uique way of spending a few days away. First off all you are in Marcella's back yard with some friendly dogs, cats and chickens then to boot you are in converted Airstream. Clean and plenty of room for one, well set up with mod cons like aircon (a necessity for Austin), fridge (keep the beers cold), coffee maker (to help the next morning after said beers) and microwave make life a little easier.

Marcella and her family were friendly hosts and only too happy to help should I have needed it. Highly recommended if you are looking for something different to the norm and in fact if you wanna ""Keep Austin Weird"" then you can't go wrong with this place.
"
949922,19670863,2014-09-16,7303698,Christie,"Beautiful cozy airstream! A friend and I stayed here for a weekend while we ran a 5K and ate our weight in Tex-Mex. Perfect size for two people to share. Great, friendly and attentive hosts. We also loved the animal friends they had around the house. Really awesome/unique stay in Austin! (P.S. El Chilito's was our favorite breakfast taco place - if you stay here you have to try it!) "
949922,19934570,2014-09-21,16350657,Ruby,"This really was a unique experience with some of the coolest people in austin. 
This has been the highlight of our trip so far.
Buy some of their toffee if you get a chance, it's the bomb. "
949922,20007222,2014-09-22,12711620,Laura Lacey,Wow...this has to be the cutest little place ever and it did not disappoint. I looked forward to staying in the Airstream from the first moment I saw it! Marcella and Meredith were wonderful hosts. We saw them in the backyard many times hanging out with the kids and working in the yard. We only wish we could have hung out more - but we had a busy schedule while in town. Definitely would recommend and hope to come again!
949922,20309251,2014-09-27,3070056,Brian,"I loved my stay at the Airstream trailer!  The space was great--very cozy and inviting--and the location was perfect for me.  The backyard/garden area was very relaxing as well, full of lazy cats, chickens and I even spotted a small pig as well.  The pictures and descriptions of the property are all spot on.  I will likely stay there next time I pass through Austin.
Added bonus:  There was some homemade toffee waiting for me in the trailer when I got there.  Delicious!
"
949922,20642084,2014-10-03,17102504,Harry,The airstream was as cute as it seemed in the photos and we loved sitting in the backyard and chatting to the animals. Marcella was really welcoming. Great location - just a short drive away from all the places we wanted to visit. I would recommend this place although taller people should be aware that their legs will stick out of the end of the bed! There were a few mosquitos around while we were there - thankfully there was some insect repellant and a candle in the airstream which helped. Fireflies in the garden were awesome! 
949922,20816067,2014-10-06,17895848,Keith,Eclectic trailer in a beautiful setting. The host was easy to reach via text and accommodating. Would stay there again.
949922,21275561,2014-10-14,3111777,Lauren,"The airstream was adorable and inviting. Very cozy. Basic amenities all available (toiletries, coffee/tea, fridge/microwave) as well as some not-so-basic (crazy good toffee). Easy access to route 20 bus which goes right downtown that we used every day. Would stay here again!"
949922,21474772,2014-10-18,5398293,Anya,"Very cool place, a lot more interesting compared to hotel stay.  Very clean and cozy, with amazing toffee! Perfect for one or two night stay."
949922,21652979,2014-10-21,2021294,Steve,"Wow, what an experience at Marcella and Meredith's Airstream! I've stayed in places all over the world, but nothing compares to the uniqueness and enjoyable experience that I had at the property. If you're looking for a place that encapsulates the spirit of Austin, Texas, look no further. The Airstream itself was charming and perfect for my stay. Marcella, Meredith, their kids and animals, were all a treat. I felt like I was a family member. The location is great and a very simple bus ride to town if you are without a car as I was. I had an amazing experience and know that many others will as well."
949922,21721854,2014-10-22,2316395,Ann,"A cute, eclectic trailer - clean and well-stocked - nestled in a magical yard! I was impressed by the host's responsiveness and availability - Arrangements and arrival were seamless and my stay was exactly what I had hoped for!"
949922,21799985,2014-10-24,3677477,Marc,"This was a great experience. Country Living in the city. The host were very accommodating, and provided the best candy I've ever tasted. The place was very clean and cozy. Short drive to the city and grocery store. The pig, chickens, and friendly dogs made it a memorable stay. Definitely recommend and would stay again."
949922,22012798,2014-10-28,17365398,Anthony,"Our stay at Marcella and Meredith's airstream was fantastic! Check in was easy, the space was beautiful and exactly as described. We loved the atmosphere and our hosts were quick to respond to inquiries and helped us feel at home while providing a sense of privacy. Highly recommended for a quirky, fun and unique way to stay in Austin. This would be my first choice if I ever came through again. "
949922,22089351,2014-10-29,15353655,Jessica,"The airstream was absolutely perfect! Marcella was incredibly kind, and I had a blast on my short trip!"
949922,22148916,2014-10-31,405154,Rae,"Marcella was a hospitable and lovely host! We loved the airstream, the animals and the beautiful gardens. I'd highly recommend staying in this unique Austin listing."
949922,22439876,2014-11-06,22890349,William,"I had such an amazing time. I can't wait to come back again! The airstream was beautiful, and I loved all the animals. Thank you so much for everything!"
949922,22642098,2014-11-11,12448947,Myles,Nothing but good vibes here. This cool little camping trailer made for a cozy home base while we explored the city. You'll find plenty of southern hospitality and they even have a piglet. 
949922,22734381,2014-11-13,13247385,Gitana,"Austin, Texas just got a whole lot better with the addition of Marcella's Airbnb Vintage Airstream.

The photos don't lie: delightfully-decorated trailer, killer toffee (you can buy some to take home), relaxing backyard, friendly cute pets (dogs, cats, mini pig, hens) and awesome attentive hosts Marcella and Meredith. The #20 bus into Austin is about three blocks away so no rental car is needed if you're staying in city and not out too late. 

I enjoyed Austin but, to be honest, one of the high points of the trip was having the chance to visit with my hosts. We talked books, travel, foster parenting, Austin and brainstormed our dream vacations. I think of them as quintessential Austin - creative, funny, smart, laid-back, music/food loving and friendly.

Bottom line: add this wonderful unique slice of Austin to your Travel Bucket List. You won't regret it!"
949922,22786604,2014-11-14,4565883,Anna,"Marcela's airstream is a gem! Great location, beautiful,charming,cozy (website hidden) felt like home, great value for what you experience at her place. We felt so much love in that space. Perfect stay! "
949922,22791074,2014-11-15,20543706,Leah,"Very cute, but not perfect for those over 6' - the shower is challenging for us tall people. The Airstream is also not insulated, so definitely make sure to stay during any time except winter. Hosts will provide plenty of space heaters in cold weather, though!"
949922,22834685,2014-11-16,7364608,Kaitlyn,Awesome place to stay and great toffee! 
949922,22881632,2014-11-17,17374273,Carlie,"We loved our stay in the airstream. It was raining during our visit so we didn't have any interaction w the hostesses besides when we first arrived. Meredith was quick to offer things to make our stay with a baby more comfortable. despite the cool weather we stayed warm. 
We loved the eclectic feel of the airstream. M & M thought of everything when decorating and filling the airstream. Thanks for your hospitality! We love your style! "
949922,22974945,2014-11-18,21870935,Kara,We absolutely loved our stay! The airstream was just as the pictures reflected it to be! Marcella goes over and above with the homemade English toffee that awaits you inside! It's so delicious! We purchased some before we departed and we have order more from her Etsy shop since returning home! It's that good! We will be staying here again!
949922,22983592,2014-11-19,8748516,Aarne,"This was an amazing AirBNB experience. The airstream was clean, cozy and comfortable and is situated in a fantastic backyard. We couldn't have asked for more suitable accommodations for our trip thru Austin."
949922,23202129,2014-11-25,1547011,Noelle,Another wonderful stay at Marcella's trailer.  This is a happy and pretty place and Marcella works hard to make it so. I highly recommend this space!
949922,23317475,2014-11-29,6471940,Kathi,"We had a great time in the airstream trailer. Marcella is a wonderful host. As we checked in she made sure we had all we needed in addition to the excellent toffee that's waiting for you once you get in. Bed was comfy. The place is actually roomy and fine for 2 people. Heaters and AC are available as well as books and magazines, maps and other info. the weather was colder than usual but it was still perfect."
949922,23496222,2014-12-02,11675354,Amber,We had great time. It was everything we expected. Would definitely go back. This was our first time Austin and we had a blast. The toffee is AMAZING!!!
949922,23714294,2014-12-08,22499681,Tova,"Marcella has the sweetest airstream and backyard set-up! I had a lovely time in my one night there. I got the pet the pig before I left and hang out with the dogs, and they gave great dinner recommendations. Love their style and the carefully curated backyard oasis. "
949922,23961410,2014-12-15,320773,Andrew,"We only stayed one night, but had a wonderful time at the vintage airstream!  Marcella was welcoming and the garden was so cute with lights, friendly cats, and outdoor seating.  The airstream itself was well decorated and we loved reading about their family.  To top it off, the homemade toffee was incredibly delicious!  Thanks for a great stay."
949922,24081201,2014-12-19,23375174,Dylan,Absolutely amazing stay! Beautiful home with gorgeous animals. We didn't want to leave! A+++
949922,24238709,2014-12-23,24203701,Rebecca,My husband and I stayed in the Airstream for just one night but wish we had been able to stay for much longer! Our stay was so relaxing! The Airstream has all the comforts you could want plus more! We hope to return soon! 
949922,24342562,2014-12-26,24739487,Gabriel,"Fantastic little Airstream, very well-cared for and clean, with plenty of amenities. Marcella and her partner are great, very nice and helpful. And their animals are adorable, loved Austin and this was perfect for us Thank you!"
949922,24418748,2014-12-28,727549,Stephanie,"Our stay at Marcella's was unfortunatly very short since there was a small issue short after we arrived. Marcella was great and very fast at solving the problem and finding us a hotel room in town. We found her generous , friendly and very professionnal. We will certainly be back soon to spend the night in her super cute travel trailer!"
949922,24811834,2015-01-03,21330791,Lyndsay,"We had a wonderful time in the airstream. It had everything we need and was very cozy. It's a piece of country right in the city so it was a nice, quiet escape on our vacation in Austin. "
949922,25062032,2015-01-05,2631719,Joshua,"This airstream was the most adorable little thing! I stayed here with my wife for just a night and we found ourselves staying in more that we had imagined.

You are transported to a new world when you step into the backyard. The string of lights, the chickens, the three-legged cat, dogs, and pig that occupy give you the most warm welcome."
949922,25107716,2015-01-06,13409670,Zachary,"Marcella and Meredith have something special in Austin. Their house is nestled just east of the city, perfect driving distance from everything Austin has to offer. From the moment Marcella walked us into her backyard, we knew we were in for something unique. The Airstream is beautifully restored and contained every amenity one could need. There were even a few pieces of homemade toffee left out for us to try (we later bought an entire homemade bag; it was that good). Lindsay bonded with Shiner, their house pig who roamed around the backyard. It was a chilly evening, but there were two heaters in the Airstream that made things very comfortable. Overall, one of the most enjoyable experiences we've had on our road trip out west. Marcella and Meredith (and their four beautiful children, who we also briefly met) are perfect hosts, and we have already determined that we will stay nowhere else when in Austin again!"
949922,25322142,2015-01-12,24904348,Kim,"After staying in hotels for 2 weeks of travel, the Airstream was just what I needed. So warm and charming, with a bounty of style and considerate details. I slept so well. And the toffee! Best ever. I miss my pets when I travel, so hanging out with your animals was just what I needed. Thank you for such a lovely stay. Can't wait to come back!"
949922,25500794,2015-01-18,2528943,Elise,This was the most magical Airbnb we've ever rented. It was a true Austin experience. Our hosts were wonderful and we fell in love with the many animals!
949922,25598104,2015-01-20,19037809,Kevin,"The listing is extremely accurate.  The trailer itself is very comfortable and cozy, with plenty of room for two people.  It was a very relaxing time in a super convenient spot for traveling into the city, and we'll definitely look to stay again on our next trip."
949922,25703038,2015-01-23,11841453,Brittlynn,"I booked this trip last minute for a business trip to Austin the same week as the political inauguration and of course there were zero hotels available downtown. Luckily I found the vintage trailer which was on my bucket list anyways! Marcella was a fantastic host; the vintage trailer is actually very spacious and accommodating. I slept like a rock unlike sleeping in a hotel where you hear everything going on outside. It was actually kind of cool to see all the backyard ""friends"" running around minding their own business (miniature pig, chickens, 2 dogs and maybe a squirrel or 2). Overall, you will not be disappointed and will come home to tell your friends about your adventurous side and how cool it is to sleep in a vintage trailer!"
949922,25723759,2015-01-24,23221177,Brenna,"The airstream was the best treat of our entire trip to Austin TX.  All of our needs were met plus more! It was cold and rainy outside the last days we were there but we had the airstream to keep us warm and cozy. So many awesome things to look at that just exude the essence of fun! The yard looked like a blast to hang out in as well. We are sad the weather couldn't have been better. Maybe next time! 
Marcella was super accommodating and extremely sweet. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful, magical place to share.  We shall be back my friend!"
949922,25790254,2015-01-26,16642397,Rachael,"marcella and meredith were incredibly warm and kind hosts. their airstream is an absolute dream and their backyard full of animals of all types is totally magical. they had a whole list of suggestions for austin exploring in the trailer, as well as some homemade toffee waiting for us :) i'd love to stay here again next time i'm in town, or at least come by and say hello to them and shiner the pig :) "
949922,25975295,2015-01-31,26417292,Sarah,"I had the pleasure of escaping to Austin and staying at this little gem for a few days to write some new music. It was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect environment to get inspired. Great location and Marcella has created a wonderful backyard oasis to make it feel even more special. I'll definitely be staying here again the next time I'm in Austin!"
949922,26050649,2015-02-02,9946796,Lorien,"We had the best time staying at Marcella and Meredith's adorable airstream! The location was great in terms of navigating to tourist spots around Austin but still having a homey feel. They were wonderful hosts and provided everything you could possibly need, including a handmade guest book full of suggestions on where to eat, and delicious homemade toffee! Our hosts were friendly but respectful of our privacy. The animals, especially Shiner the pig, were such a fun bonus to the experience. We truly loved staying at this charming gem of a place and will definitely book it again the next time we're in Austin."
949922,26151730,2015-02-05,8712557,Dana,"Loved staying at this magical airstream! Once we arrived at the property and went into the backyard, we were excited to see the farm animals, the hanging lights, and everything else that made this place charming. The airstream was cozy and comfortable, and Marcella left us everything we needed (towels, shampoo and conditioner,blankets, coffee). The bed was super comfortable. Would definitely recommend staying here, you wont forget your experience! We ate at a cute bar/restaurant nearby called Drink Well. "
949922,26432010,2015-02-12,11093978,Cat,We loved staying in the Airstream! The set up was very cute and Marcella responded in a timely manner to message and phone calls. We would definitely return in the future!
949922,26462122,2015-02-13,16309158,Stephanie,"I arrived late in evening and was glad to have so many details in her profile to navigate where to go. The airstream was very clean, welcoming, and charming. So where the animals. "
949922,26515652,2015-02-15,19312507,Elizabeth,"Marcella and Meredith were wonderful hosts, and staying in their airstream was so much fun! My boyfriend and I stayed here for a little Valentine's getaway in Austin before heading to Big Bend. My boyfriend arrived first and had more interaction with them than I did, but he reports that Marcella was super welcoming and helpful. After that they gave us privacy, but I felt like they were easily available if we had needed them. The camper is every bit as cute as it looks in the photos, and the yard is a fun spot to enjoy your morning coffee/tea and watch the animals. The bed was very comfortable and the homemade toffee was divine! I hope that we can come back someday soon!"
949922,26678612,2015-02-17,20238484,Raeanne,I absolutely loved it!  It was quite charming.  Try the toffee!  It is so good! 
949922,26754715,2015-02-18,7633613,Morgan,It was lovely at M&M airstream... The weather was very chilly and we found comfort in the cozy airstream. Thanks for the delicious homemade toffee and warming up the space for our arrival! It was lovely waking up and watching the chickens cluck around :) thanks and we will see you again!
949922,26934099,2015-02-22,26824414,Ryan,"We had a short but sweet stay. The hosts were very friendly, we got to meet their children and animals, and got to stay in the amazing airstream. It was perfect for us, cozy and cute. We will book again if ever in austin! "
949922,26988088,2015-02-23,15743734,Laura,"I couldn't have had a better experience at this glorious airstream. What a dreamlike experience. Absolute welcoming energy as soon as you walk onto the property. You are led whimsically through the yard on a stone path lined with lights to this emaculate and cozy airstream getaway! 

Marcella was more than a host, but a homemaker and friend throughout our whole experience. I cannot wait to stay here again! 

"
949922,27323466,2015-03-02,25695918,Gina,"I had a wonderful time in the Airstream.  The hosts were very nice and made me feel welcome.  I was able to park my car in the driveway, which was nice.  Would definitely recommend this Air B&B to all my friends!"
949922,27433263,2015-03-04,8181602,Samantha,"The yard this airstream sits on is adorable, with chickens, dogs, and a pig calling it home. The trailer itself is cute and affordable, though the bed was uncomfortable, owing to the fact that it was both a bit u-shaped and a little short for tall folks (i'm 5'10"" and my boyfriend is 6'2""). The water heater didn't work during our stay and though we weren't able to fix the issue while we were there (a plumber was coming later in the week)  the hosts offered to let us use the shower in the main house. They also set up heaters inside the trailer so the place was nice and warm when we arrived, though it was raining and down in the 30's outside. The place isn't too far (just over 3 miles) from downtown and is super convenient to the airport. All told not the most comfortable stay but definitely worth it for the reasonable price."
949922,27510005,2015-03-06,7613431,Shenghan,It's an awesome experience staying in the Airstream! Super cute/comfy. The host are a very warm couple and the pets are so cute. Thanks for let us staying with you!
949922,27642160,2015-03-09,5430529,Julai,"What a wonderful place. I had such an amazing weekend staying in this little Airstream. Cats, pigs, chickens, this place has it all. I can't wait to come back and stay again. "
949922,27811376,2015-03-12,19106529,Samantha,"Adorable property in a nice central location. ALL of our hosts made us feel very welcomed - Marcella, Meredith, and the kids, as well as the cats, chickens, dogs, and pig! The decor of the trailer was so cute, and my daughter loved exploring the yard. I really appreciated that we were close to a lot of different parts of the city - and that we were able to access different highways and major roads to avoid the traffic that always plagues I-35. Can't wait to come back again with my husband and share this listing with our friends. "
949922,27871316,2015-03-14,25518781,Jeni,"my husband and i stayed with marcella in both of her listings; the garden shed and the airstream trailor. we loved both of them! everything was beautiful and clean and marcella and her family are so sweet! this isnt any fault of marcellas, just a warning, my husband plugged his macbook pro into the airstream trailor to charge and it shorted out his computer. i didnt have any problem with my macbook air, but just in case, use caution! 
the location of our stay was very easy to get to and was very clean and marcella was very accomodating. we ordered some extra of her amazing toffee and we couldnt eat it fast enough. 
we loved everything about our stay!

949922,28066823,2015-03-17,20925413,Kim,"I had a wonderfully relaxing experience and the brittle was a great treat. The ""farm like"" environment made for a unique and surprisingly quite stay. "
949922,28249963,2015-03-21,4692083,Megan,"The airstream was beautiful, exactly as described.  Marcella and family made us feel welcome in their special oasis.  With great tips on where to go and what to see in their guidebook as well as some additional insight from Marcella, we really enjoyed our time in Austin at SXSW.  Transit was pretty straightforward, about a 5 minute walk to the bus and the ride downtown was approximately 25 minutes.  Say hello to Shiner the pig when you stay!"
949922,28309204,2015-03-22,3045626,Courtney,Great place! The hosts were excellent and the pets were the cutest!
949922,28421884,2015-03-23,28780832,Jamie,What a delightful weekend in the airstream at Marcella's.... I wanted to bottle up the entire back yard and take it home.  The airstream was charming and had everything we needed ... Not to mention comfy. My daughter couldn't get enough of Shiner the piglet... Every little detail was adorable an perfect. I can't wait to visit again.
949922,28657110,2015-03-28,30712,Jonna,"Marcella could not have been more gracious or helpful.  She hurried to flip the airstream for us, having been informed that we had a long rough night.  She also let me borrow an iphone charger, a real life saver.  Their mission is a noble one; providing temporary foster care to kids in need, and being a guest at this authentically charming accommodation helps to make it possible for Marcella to be at home to look after their growing brood of kids and critters.  Note that the church next door is undergoing construction, but truthfully, I am pretty noise sensitive and it didn't bother me a lick.  The immediate neighborhood may be a little off putting, but the little quirky, cheerful sanctuary they have created in their back yard provides an affordable and memorable lodging experience, with the added benefit of knowing you are doing a little good.  "
949922,28979069,2015-04-02,18430441,Trina,Such a lovely relaxing place to stay! My husband and I are convinced that this is one of the hidden gems in Austin! Marcella & Meredith were very friendly and always willing to give guidance for things to do and see in Austin. Will definitely be staying here again when we're back in town!
949922,29662292,2015-04-11,17796363,Mary Beth,"As soon as you pull in to the drive way you can feel the love that surrounds this wonderful place. From the beautiful landscape, warm welcomes, and adorable furry and non furry children this place is perfect for a nice getaway. "
949922,30119158,2015-04-18,13706888,Christen,"My friend and I loved the quaint airstream. The complimentary toffee was gone the first day, and the coffee they supply is incredible. You would be hard pressed to beat the location; close to a nice HEB, a liquor store, and I-35. We enjoyed the dogs, cats, chickens, and pig. Kids were well behaved when in the backyard, which is huge and very private with her large trees. A cherry on top were the recycling bins. :)."
949922,30290286,2015-04-20,27742923,Aaron,"Great little space in a great location. We didn't spend much time on the property.  It was a cool setup and we had total privacy. Wish we could have met the owners, but our paths never crossed.  BTW Cherrywood Coffeehouse (few miles away) very good brunch, but gets busy quick. "
949922,31204155,2015-05-03,30224572,Amanda,"Marcella is very welcoming. Her home is full of positivity! We enjoyed our peaceful time there and will stay there again. All the animals are so well behaved and ADORABLE!!! We had NO issues what so ever with our stay. Perfect (website hidden)...you will want to buy her amazing homemade treats, so delicious!!!!"
949922,31694767,2015-05-09,27022670,Candice,"This was the perfect little get away! Such a magical little place. The airstream was super clean and everything was laid out clear. The girls were really friendly and accommodation. I'm a big animal lover and all the little critters running around were super cute. We left the door open and a little kitty was curled up on our bed taking a nap. Oh and the toffee that is left there for you to try, was probably the best toffee I've ever tasted! If you get a chance to hang around the backyard at night you'll see the fire flies glowing everywhere. It really is a magical place. I wish we were able to catch up with Marcella and her lovely wife a bit more. But if I'm ever back in Austin I would definitely stay there again! "
949922,32467754,2015-05-18,26815798,Rolando,"We had a great stay at the Airstream. Very clean and charming place. Good location too. We typically use Uber when we travel, but rented a car on this trip because we weren't sure what to expect given the location.  Really wasn't necessary though. Highly recommended!"
949922,32742687,2015-05-21,4049123,Zalina,What a great space! Marcella's backyard and the airstream make you feel like you're in a whole other world. It was a great stop to relax in while we explored Austin. 
949922,32964319,2015-05-24,164917,Christina,"We loved the airstream and it was a perfect fit for our stay in Austin!  The map wallpaper, the beautiful hard wood floors, the shower and especially the country music that was playing on the radio was so Texas.  Marcella and Meredith were the perfect hosts and made us feel welcome and were always easy to access.  We loved the backyard with the pig, chickens, cats and dogs.  Especially the cute little piggy who loved eating mango.  We loved this place!  "
949922,33226773,2015-05-26,26360105,Renée,This quaint airstream trailer sits in Marcella & Meredith's backyard paradise! The photos represent it well and it is as delightful as you can imagine it would be. There are several fantastic places to eat just down the street at I-35 & 51st (Verts Kebap and Mod Pizza are yummy!) as well as an HEB. Marcella is a welcoming host and her toffee is fantastic! 
949922,33897978,2015-06-02,5610553,Cora,"Marcella was a wonderful host and her family was lovely as well.  The Airstream has been refurbished with great care and they have decorated it adorably. 

It is situated in Marcella's home's backyard, but it set away from the house for a little bit of privacy. The backyard is also the epitome of adorable with strings of lights, 3 dogs, 9 chickens and a pig (I know the exact count because 2 of Marcella's adorable children filled me in). 

Marcella was very easy to work, we arrived late at night and she left the key in an easy spot. She was also very responsive via email. My husband and I have a few friends in an Austin and we asked if we could have a small get together in their backyard. She obliged, and we had a great time eating La Barbecue. 

This is definitely an ""Austin experience"" -  from the Airstream to the welcoming nature of the people who reside there. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an ""alternative"" visit."
949922,34271916,2015-06-07,25518088,Roman,"This was the perfect place for my first time in Austin. Everything about her Airstream was perfect. From the delicious toffee to the map wall paper. This airstream sits in a beautiful yard with trees, flowers, lights, chickens, dogs, and a cute little piggy. I would definitely love to stay here again!"
949922,34525463,2015-06-09,13274901,Rachel,"geez what can I say about this amazing little gem in east Austin...we loved it that's what! It's truly a little oasis and makes you never want to leave. We didn't meet Marcella, but her partner Meredith was super sweet and gave us some great suggestions about what to do in East Austin. She also introduced us to all the amazing animals that reside at their home; three dogs, a cat, chickens, and adorable pig. We loved playing with them. We only were able to stay one night in the airstream, but it was fully loaded, clean, and comfy. We had some awesome neighbors staying in the guesthouse on the property as well, and we got to chat and have coffee with them in the morning. We would def stay here again!! "
949922,34694638,2015-06-11,28089956,Samantha,"Just got back from our stay at the MMAirstream in Austin.  This place is a total dream.  The perfect spot to return to after a day of exploring the city OR spend the afternoon at the Airstream working on a paper for grad school*!  Everything you could possibly need is available to you in this sweet vacation spot.  Definitely consider this on your next trip to Austin (or take a trip just to stay!)  We rented a car for our trip and I would recommend that you do the same if staying at this location.  It also gives you the opportunity to explore outside of the city, which has some amazing hikes and swimming spots.  



*we can verify that it is perfect for both ;)"
949922,35054428,2015-06-14,32843588,Eddie,"Marcella is one of those hosts that goes above to make you feel at home. The Airstream comes fully equipped, the money goes towards a good cause too. The design of the space was amazing as well.. you won't regret it... stop reading this review.. book it."
949922,35198895,2015-06-16,27609904,Colleen,"We loved this place! It was clean and comfy and Marcella was very accommodating when our train was delayed and we ended up arriving pretty late at night. She also gave us a fantastic recommendation for breakfast the next day. If I ever return to Austin, I will be staying here again!"
949922,35478080,2015-06-19,22202276,Sue,"What a CHARMING place!! I have bragged about staying here to so many people! The airstream is just as pictured: cozy, colorful, homey, and I loved the string of lights in the bathroom! The yard is as magical as the airstream itself: a meandering garden that gives privacy and space when having morning coffee outside ... and the pig! What can I say? - the pig snorted and whimpered and welcomed me back every time I entered the yard (ok, ok, maybe she was looking for food ...), and the chickens and cute dogs made me feel all the more welcomed. Access to Austin downtown is close and easy. Loved the location, the hosts, the vibe, and Marcella's homemade toffee. (oh really ... YUM). This place is A++++."
949922,36257299,2015-06-27,24345405,Abbey,"Thank you for a great stay in Austin! Absolutely loved your airstream and fun farmyard! Thank you for the information books on Austin and things to do, it helped us get the most out of our stay. Hope to return one day. "
949922,36507707,2015-06-29,18484716,Clare,"We had a wonderful stay in the airstream - it is really cosy inside, but also cool which is important when it is warm outside.  We really enjoyed siting in the garden and meeting the animals, and also the toffee in the airstream was lovely.  "
949922,36652229,2015-06-30,21110364,Sarah,"My mom and I planned a getaway in Austin, and the Airstream trailer was perfect! It's cutely decorated and is great for two people. Marcella helped us get settled in and made sure we knew she was available if we had any questions. We had the backyard to ourselves and were able to relax and enjoy our time! "
949922,36869637,2015-07-02,32518900,Ashley,"The Airstream was adorable and perfect for our getaway. We loved the little extras throughout as well as the play area for the kids outside. Everything was better than I could have imagined. I especially loved the English toffee she has out and ate the whole container by the second day. Fortunately I ordered some more on her Etsy site and she had it ready in really short notice. That is all gone now too. 
This was our first Airbnb experience and we are hooked!
"
949922,36949717,2015-07-03,23315959,Elizabeth,"What a wonderful oasis plucked straight out of vintage dream! Marcella and Meredith were exceptional hosts. I was most impressed with all of the little details in the airstream. From the maps on the walls to the toffee on the table to the hand crafted guest book, it was a perfect place for two. The backyard where the airstream sits is just far enough from the main house for privacy, but just close enough to the pig to make you feel a little rustic. I would recommend it in a heartbeat (and already have)!"
949922,37083920,2015-07-04,1111051,Jasmine And Allison,"First of all it's a vintage Airstream.  There is really nothing left to say after that, however Marcella and Meredith really outdid themselves with this place.  It's clean, cute and comfortable. The toffee was brilliant.  We didn't have the chance to interact with them much because we were there for a night, but they were super welcoming and helpful. This won't be my (Jazz) last visit to Austin and I look forward to staying in the Airstream again."
949922,37441093,2015-07-07,25819755,Erika,"Our stay was wonderful! The trailer was adorable and the bed really comfy with a foam topper.  Loved meeting the kittens, pig, pups, and chickens! It was secluded enough and easy to find.  The toffee was AMAZING."
949922,37662030,2015-07-09,1364208,Roland,"Marcella and Meredith were great! We were greeted right when we walked in, helped us with where to park, and gave us a quick tour of their beautiful backyard that led to the Airstream. The Airstream was clean, comfy, and well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They were great hosts, definitely recommend. "
949922,37772924,2015-07-10,11423580,Andrea,My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing experience.  We were greeted at the front gate and were impressed by the host's friendliness.  The yard was beautiful and the trailer was impeccably clean and cool.   The yard is very large and my husband and I were able to enjoy the chairs outside with a feeling of privacy.  A wonderful little retreat!
949922,38369665,2015-07-15,28050987,Elizabeth,"We had such a nice stay at Marcy and Meredith's place. We showed up later than expected and they left the key in an easily found spot.  Description of the Airstream was accurate. We loved the toffee and the decor of the Airstream. The AC worked very well and there was even an extra fan, but we didn't need it. We didn't see much of each other as our schedules just did not coincide, but we felt right at home! Thank you again!"
949922,38811350,2015-07-19,8658596,Bianca,"We had a great time during our stay at the Airstream. I stayed there with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by how spacious it really was. Such a great set up and the fact that it is so nicely decorated made the stay a truly memorable experience. Marcella was a great host ensuring all was prepared for us for our arrival with some delicious fudge to welcome!! I would recommend this accommodation to anyone considering a visit to Austin! It is such a great city and staying in a cool rental like this, so different to any other on offer, really adds to the whole Austin experience! Can't wait to go back!! "
949922,39370182,2015-07-23,28358747,Eve,"Private, cozy, peaceful accommodations.  Comfortable bed, quiet enclosed backyard with creative and eclectic foliage. The host is friendly and welcoming."
949922,39665077,2015-07-25,6082884,Kelli,"Our hostesses were warm, easy to be around and caring about our stay.  The location turned out to my favorite part of visiting Austin,  I felt like we were in a beautiful country scene.  But then I could zip right down the road to an AWESOME HEB with a Starbucks next to it.  For me, this is a big deal.  I loved their environment that you could tell was created with their zeal for life and love. "
949922,39915529,2015-07-27,30942552,Jessica,The airstream was perfection. I loved every minute of it. It is exactly as depicted. Perfect space for a weekend away!
949922,40613170,2015-08-01,36524465,Sara,What a unique gem we found in Austin! Our hosts were very helpful and friendly and the airstream was adorable!! Lots of information about Austin and the best toffee I've ever had made the stay even better! Thanks!!
949922,41196017,2015-08-05,19138138,Charles,"The stay was great!  It's a quaint little trailer with a lot of nice animals staying there.  Our host was unfortunately busy during our stay, but we were able to get around just fine with Uber and local friends."
949922,42505166,2015-08-14,306220,Diane,"Nous avons passés un sejour d exeption dans la caravane airsteam de Marcella

949922,43349537,2015-08-19,26123846,Francois,"lieu très satisfaisant, c'est très joli, bien décoré, une expérience a faire!
en plus de l'air stream, le petit jardin donne l'impression d’être  en campagne, étant tout près de la ville, on serait bien resté quelques jours de plus!"
949922,43504831,2015-08-20,29081971,Emma,"Our host(s) was very welcoming and helpful in suggesting local Austin bars and restaurants! The trailer was gorgeous and honestly I would be happy living in one of those for the rest of my days. Comfortable and plenty of space. Also, very welcoming animals! "
949922,44519931,2015-08-27,8222001,Kathryn,"From the minute we arrived, my boyfriend and I felt relaxed and at home.  It was everything the listing said it would be! It was so quaint and clean, with such charm that you could only find from very creative people.  We fell in love with their story and felt very happy to support such wonderful people.  The neighborhood is quiet and comfortable, we were able to sit outside late at night without worrying about disturbing anyone.  The bus stop is located just up the black, so it is very easy to get downtown.  All in all I would rebook this place in a heartbeat!"
949922,45446187,2015-09-02,21293807,Chris,My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time staying in Marcella and Meredith's vintage Streamline trailer. The space felt quite nice and had a good energy to it. You might think that one would feel cramped in the small space but that wasn't the case at all. It actually feels surprisingly  roomy. The trailer is eclectic and very cute inside. The yard and all of the animals are a joy as well. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We just needed a place to stay during a moving transition but I would definitely go back for a little weekend get-away sometime:)
949922,45666493,2015-09-05,36915537,Corie,"Beautiful place...beautiful people!  I would recommend this oasis a million times over.  It's one-of-a-kind, really.  :)"
949922,46862648,2015-09-14,3282567,Vix,"The check-in process was super easy and my stay was more than pleasurable! Even in super, super hot Texan weather, the air con/fan combo in the Airstream kept me cool, which I was grateful for. There were so many super thoughtful touches, and it was really nice to have my own private area while still feeling safe in the knowledge that Marcella was easily available should I have any problems. The bus downtown ran fairly regularly, but I would advise other guests that perhaps a car would be more useful for travelling slightly further afield. "
949922,47607848,2015-09-21,26597060,Sau,"This was a great place to stay!!!  The airstream is so clean and comfortable and has everything you need.  The animals were all adorable and like Marcella and Meredith, they were all extremely welcoming.  Very easy to get downtown and everywhere you want to be.
"
949922,48601396,2015-09-27,36363830,Meghan,I highly recommend staying here! Such a unique way to start vacation. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
949922,49209430,2015-10-02,6458691,Alonso,"By far, our experience with Marcella and Meredith was the best we've had with Airbnb.  The Airstream was so cute, cozy, and comfortable, with so many quirky and adorable adornments.  There were plenty of towels, coffee, and samples of their home made toffee!!  I encourage you to order some!  The location was close to everything, and still quiet and private.  Shiner, their pig, was happy to get some treats and a particular bonus.  
For us, though, it was the hosts, their children, and their story that were truly memorable.  They were friendly, knowledgeable, and have an absolutely wonderful home and family! It was an amazing experience, and I hope that if you are considering a stay in Austin, you consider staying here!"
949922,49759490,2015-10-06,30985211,Kelsey,Our experience in the Vintage Airstream was warm and welcoming. Not only was the place clean and inviting but we were welcomed with Marcella's delicious toffee. We wanted to fully experience Austin and we really felt like we accomplished that by staying in this great Airstream. 
949922,50622840,2015-10-13,3558929,Melissa,our weekend in the Airstream was a dream come true! Marcella and Meredith provided us with yummy toffee and all the comforts of home. The Airstream was clean and inviting and so inspiring. A MUST do if you're ever in Austin. Thank you Marcella and Meredith :) 
949922,50761098,2015-10-14,12364689,Søren,We had a great stay in the trailer. Nice spot out of town. Cosy atmosphere. Would love to come back! 
949922,50986710,2015-10-16,6792214,Robin,Staying here was an awesome experience. Not only was it cool to stay in a vintage Airstream but the whole place was full of life! The hosts are foster parents are are providing so much love to the kids and animals that live there. No wonder they get such super positive reviews for their rental. This is a rental with lots of added value. Highly recommended.
949922,51064322,2015-10-17,45674178,Kathleen,"Marcy made the check-in process very easy! I didn't get to meet her, but I did talk to Meredith who was so kind to me. I loved their dogs, the chickens, cat, and pig! The airstream was exactly as it was pictured. This was my first time using Airbnb and the experience was great! I hope to visit Austin again and would come back to stay the night in the airstream. Thank you!"
949922,51262673,2015-10-19,22740049,Hillary,"Marcella and Meredith were wonderful hosts! We were out and about alot around Austin, but it was comfortable to know that if we needed anything, they were right next door or just a phone call away. The homemade toffee sample was so delicious. They have a great list of suggestions for any type of restaurant, coffee shop or food truck that was very helpful for us! The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful!  You can hear the occasional airplane, but nothing disturbed our stay at all. If you want an intimate, peaceful getaway, then definitely stay here. We'll definitely be staying here again! "
949922,51637038,2015-10-22,18994049,Wendy,My boyfriend and I needed a getaway and this place fit our needs perfectly. We enjoyed the simplicity of living in the airstream for a few nights. It was very clean and comfortably and having air conditioning and a fan was great. Close uber to downtown. No problem parking our rental car. Enjoyed feeding the pig some bananas. Definitely would stay here again!
8371474,50344057,2015-10-11,7683583,Nick,"Ben, and his place, are great!  He was inviting, attentive to my questions, and had myriad suggestions to me for my first time in Austin.  I can't wait to come back to Austin and I would certainly stay in Ben's place again."
8371474,52098060,2015-10-26,41194468,Breezy,"Our stay at Ben's couldn't have been any better! Hurricane Patricia decided to show up after we touched down in Austin and Bens place was so warm and cozy. Really a great place, just as pictured, and had everything my husband and I could have needed. We didn't get a chance to meet Ben but every text was so sincere and always got a quick response. Even with the extreme change in weather forecast he offered suggestions on what to do. Hyde Park is such a great neighborhood and we were in a '$10 zone' in all directions to wherever we wanted to go via Lyft and Uber. DO NOT miss your chance to go to the ""Flag Store""! My husband and I went crazy in there. You need to experience it and get your 6 pack of mix and match beers. We chose all local Austin picks and it did not disappoint. We will be staying at Ben's place again. "
7634791,41042154,2015-08-03,3286372,Christopher,Great place and location. It was nice to take a dip and chill in the pool under the blaring sun. Our host was great and very flexible and attentive to needs. Thanks for everything!!!
7634791,41179255,2015-08-04,40227519,Julia,"Michael was flexible and so kind and attentive! We were very comfortable and felt very taken care of! Thanks for a great comfy stay. Definitely a great choice! (I am allergic to kitties but fortunately had allergy meds so it didn't make too much of a difference, but FYI there are some sweet pets in this home!)"
7634791,42593693,2015-08-14,30178969,Victoria,"This was my first Airbnb experience and I couldn't have asked for a better trip. Michael was the perfect host, very friendly and had great advice about things to do/see in Austin. He and his friends even went out of their way to take me out to a few local sites.

The house itself is incredible. The room is quite large and the bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is listed as shared but I practically had it to myself during the stay. Having the pool out back was great for the Austin summer as well,  very refreshing to be able to cool off with a swim after a day of sightseeing.

I used Uber to get around town, and I don't think I ever paid more than $10-15 to get home from the major sites or downtown. Very convenient location for city access. 

All round it was a great first experience with Airbnb and I'd be more than happy to stay here for any future trips."
7634791,43730884,2015-08-21,41116742,Amanda,Michael was an awesome host! He responded quickly to all of our messages and even let us take one of the parking spots in the driveway for our roadtrip packed car. The house is very clean and the room and bed were very comfortable. Perfect for our night in Austin!
7634791,49692173,2015-10-05,43442977,Tess,I had a wonderful experience staying at his place. Although we weren't at the house much it was a great place to come home to after exploring Austin. I was a tad bit surprised that he had pigs as pets but hey it was pretty cool &&& they were pretty adorable & never bothered is staying outside most of the time or in the pin. Micheal was super nice and anticipated our needs. Would definitely stay there again!!!
7634791,52180549,2015-10-26,31877388,Venus,"This was my third time using Airbnb, but this was my first time using the private room option. Usually, I rent the entire home and never get to meet the host. Going into this, my boyfriend and I were a little apprehensive, but I have to say Michael did a good job making us feel welcomed. The room was extremely clean and cozy. Immediately, he informed us that we were free to roam around the house and basically make it our own. He was very welcoming and would check up on us to make sure our needs were always met. Michael, his friends, and his pets were very hospitable. I definitely recommend staying here!  "
7634791,52213921,2015-10-27,15483258,Susan,"Michael was very friendly and accommodating, and the house was very nice and big."

3742420,21672823,2014-10-21,3321931,Gina,Our experience at Brentwood Bungalow was amazing! We loved staying at this house! Brooke was very supportive and helpful in setting us up so check in and check out was flawless. The house is beautiful and very cozy! And the location is perfect! Just walking distance to most of Austin's top spots. 
3742420,21966527,2014-10-27,18215178,Sami,The house was perfect! Exactly like the photos. Super cute. Super clean. Huge backyard. Easy access to downtown. We rented a car and it took about 15 mins. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thank you so much for an amazing place to stay. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to visit Austin. 
3742420,22706961,2014-11-12,8591490,Elizabeth,The home was beautifully designed inside and out.  Close to restaurants and clubs.  A lovely home and neighborhood.
3742420,26500752,2015-02-14,2156300,Sacha,"The Woodrow is a beautiful home that has everything you need for your stay. It was very clean, comfortable and easy to get to. I was very impressed with Brooke and think that she is an excellent host. I look forward to staying there again. "
3742420,27186613,2015-02-27,6253271,Carrie,"Brooke was amazingly accommodating. The property we originally inquired about was unavailable, and Brooke arranged for another perfect property for the same rate. She also arranged all of this last minute. The property was awesome! My son asked if it was going to be our new house. Brooke also made sure there was a pack'n play and high chair. We were ready to move in!! I have already recommended Brooke and her properties to friends visiting Austin this summer. "
3742420,27327994,2015-03-02,26003440,Sarah Jane,This place was great! Everything was just like the photos. We wish the weather was nice enough to use the backyard! Brooke kept the whole place stocked with things you might need which made it so homey and convenient. She also replied immediately when I had a question. Highly recommend!
3742420,29418036,2015-04-07,28753636,Patricia,"Lovely cozy home just perfect for our stay! Well furnished so we could invite our kids over for brunch & has a bright welcoming modern decor. We had a problem with understanding the TVs & Brooke called back right away so we could resolve & fix it. Appreciate the great service, perfect location & spotless home! Thanks for making our stay comfortable..."
3742420,30384788,2015-04-21,27221720,Dti,"This is our second time staying at the The Woodrow house and we LOVE LOVE LOVE it! The house is so calm and peaceful. I love how crisp and modern the environment feels. Brooke, always has it set up to welcome us. They have everything you need to have a comfortable stay and the backyard is a peaceful perk. The location of the house is in walking distance to so many Austin staples. We felt very connected the whole time! We would recommend anyone to stay at The Woodrow and we hope to be back really soon! "
3742420,33260136,2015-05-26,19343325,Annie,"We had THE BEST time at The Woodrow!  Everything was just as described and Brooke was more than helpful in preparing us for our stay.  We were a group of five adults staying at The Woodrow and there was plenty of space for us all. Previous to our weekend I was a little nervous about us all sharing one bathroom but there are plenty of outlets and mirrors in the three bedrooms to help with ""getting ready"" so there was no issue with us all sharing the bathroom. 
The kitchen was great and well stocked--had everything we needed as we prepared meals at the house.
We loved the backyard and would have used it more if it wasn't for the rain. 
We were in town for a graduation at UT and the house was an easy, less than 10 minute trip to campus.  Also very convenient to HEB, CVS, Amy's ice cream, other fun places to eat, and walking distance to a great sandwich/coffee/beer hangout.  
The Woodrow was the perfect place for our family to gather as we celebrated my husband's graduation!  "
3742420,35601239,2015-06-20,4208962,Dwane,"Stayed with two young boys here.  Great spot, just as described.   Good neighborhood, walking distance to plenty of restaurants. 

House was very clean and comfortable.  Felt like it was set up specifically for renting.  Lots of space, no clutter.  Had everything we needed for the week except food.  Would happily rent again!"
3742420,41960894,2015-08-10,2156300,Sacha,"As always, The Woodrow is by far one of my favorite places to stay in Austin!"
3742420,46189728,2015-09-08,5375923,Cindy,"The house looks exactly as pictured, if not better. It was spotless, close to everything (15 min ride everywhere). We loved that there were extra keys for each of us to use and communication was never a problem. We would definitely be back at The Woodrow if we decided to visit Austin again. Loved it!"
3742420,48864457,2015-09-29,5005634,Bianca,My family had a wonderful stay at the Woodrow! Several family members stayed there for my wedding weekend. The house was comfortable and fit everyone well. It even had a well-equipped kitchen that helped us make a big family lunch. We appreciated being able to reach Brooke easily if needed. The neighborhood is near awesome restaurants in lively Burnet and Lamar Streets and is close to downtown by car. I would definitely consider reserving this adorable modern house for future stays!
3742420,49797986,2015-10-06,4747306,Mitch,Place was great. Just the right size and very comfortable. 
3742420,50218502,2015-10-10,25642317,Stefan,"At first I was unsure about the location, but as I explored the neighborhood, I decided I really liked it. Lots of quiet streets, good for taking a nice walk, also restaurants, coffee shops, supermarket, and other amenities are all walkable (or a 2 minute drive). It's definitely not in the ""heart"" of Austin in my opinion, but if you want a quiet and safe area, it's perfect, and downtown is only a 12-15 minute drive. The unit itself was exactly as advertised. There are a few little things I could be picky about - like the lack of closet space in the largest bedroom, and there only being one bathroom. But given the fairly affordable price of the unit, that really is being picky. For the price this is an exceptional value, with some very nice luxury touches. Also very clean and well supplied with everything you'd need. Brooke was very responsive as well. I would stay here again and recommend it to others. "
3353855,41036134,2015-08-03,3126972,Michael,"What a fun, unique experience to stay at Earphoria. Definitely an upbeat, communal experience with a band of music aficionados to chat with and share stories. While the site may not be everyone, it's vintage Austin music scene. Jules was an accommodating and very personable host.  "
5706852,28454241,2015-03-23,18646407,Hana,"Jessica was an awesome host! Their place was so perfect for us - it was super cute, clean, in a great location and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. On top of it all she was incredibly kind and helpful in terms of helping us get around and feel at home. "
965700,27698064,2015-03-09,3020422,Elisabeth,"AMAZING! The location was great. The condo was great. The neighborhood was great! 

We decided last minute to get a hotel closer to downtown instead of North Austin where it is usual cheaper.  My friends were so impressed that I was able to find this gem! And for this price! The condo was nice and cozy as soon as you walk in.  It is small but it doesn't feel like it. It had an open floor plan and nice flow so even though there was four of us staying in a one bedroom place it was never cramped. It is nicely decorated and super clean. And that KING BED! HUGE and amazingly comfortable. The couch pull out was super comfortable as well. So everyone was able to get a good nights sleep.   I love making French toast in the morning and the kitchen was perfect and had no problem navigating around.  Whole foods was only a 5 minute car ride away so I was able to pick up all the ingredients fast. 

We went to Austin for a concert on Friday night at the Austin Music Hall. The location was so close. We ended up taking Uber because it was too cold to walk and it was only $5 ride. We walked back and at the mid point was 24 diner so we stopped and ate there. It was in total about a 25 min walk.  We had not trouble walking back so late, the neighborhood felt very safe and quiet.  It was a very pleasant stroll minus it being cold.  Next day we decided to go to SoCo and it was maybe a 10 minute drive with traffic.  I loved being so close to everything!

Will and Karen were very welcoming. They answered my texts immediately when I had any questions. They were super nice and kind.  

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.  I am looking forward to another stay in this condo. This was my friends first time staying at an airbnb place and they loved it.  I don't think they will go back to staying at hotels anymore.  :) Thank you Will and Karen! "
965700,28079448,2015-03-17,7836057,Corianda,"I'm a big proponent of AirBnB, and it's because of amazing hosts like Will and Karen. Not only was the condo beautiful and clean, but it was my first time in Austin and they made sure I understood how to get to/from the airport, what there was to do, and that they were available should I need anything. I was staying for SXSW, and I can't recommend the place enough during events downtown. The immediate neighborhood is cute and quiet, with breakfast tacos right down the street and a quick run down to the river. I was away from the downtown craziness - but just a $7 Uber away.  They thought of everything to make the stay comfortable and more - including some of Texas' finest ice cream in the freezer."
965700,28391593,2015-03-23,14028205,Sebastian,"Will & Karen were great hosts. Made us feel right at home. The condo was a good place to stay and it felt like the hosts went the extra mile. The location was perfect for us, close to down town but still calm and peaceful."
965700,28717420,2015-03-29,27973689,Emily,Will and Karen's place was a delight. Everything from checking in to leave went smoothly. They even left us some beers in the fridge and gave recommendations on places for dinner. Great pool and great experience! Would absolutely stay again!
965700,28885830,2015-03-31,26736627,Mallory,Will and Karen were great! Their space was beautiful and well taken care of. They made us feel incredibly welcome in their condo and were helpful in guiding us toward the best parts of the city. My friends and I truly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend Will and Karen to anyone. 
965700,29312563,2015-04-06,6898619,Scott,Just a great place for a visit to Austin. Close to town and very easy to get to all there is to see. The condo was very nice and very clean with everything working perfectly. Will and Karen made us feel warmly welcomed with fruit and a cup of hot coffee! We will definitely make plans to visit here again. Thanks so much.
965700,29925289,2015-04-14,28989057,Cheryl,"We loved staying in the Clarksville Condo! Karen and Will were both extremely helpful and friendly. We especially appreciated the recommendation to eat at the South Congress Cafe and the delicious bottle of Salt Lick wine that greeted us on our arrival. The condo is comfy and decorated very tastefully. It was the perfect size for us. The location was great, too. We walked all over Austin and only took the car out once. Austin is a fun city with great attractions. I happily recommend it and the Clarksville Condo."
965700,30401572,2015-04-21,29689778,Cassidy,"The area was a great location to both explore by walking and also if you bring a car, easy to navigate to get in and out of downtown Austin.
Everything was fully stocked and having a washer/dryer on unit was very helpful!

Will and Karen, were great hosts. They were there when needed and provided plenty of options for things to do while visiting.

Was a nice little piece of home. :)"
965700,30772364,2015-04-27,14861006,Jordann,"I had an amazing time in the Clarksville condos! Me and my 4 guests truly enjoyed ourselves. The condo was clean, cozy, and on a very nice side of 6th street! All of our uber rides were affordable as well! Will and Karen were very accessible and helpful! I would definitely recommend this space! :) "
965700,31011935,2015-04-30,16342204,Chris,Great location. Attentive hosts.
965700,31946802,2015-05-12,20264295,Grace,Great condo and great location. Pretty spacious inside and having the pool was perfect! 
965700,32475603,2015-05-18,29019850,Natalie,"Great experience! Will and Karen are wonderful hosts, and the condo is absolutely perfect. Everything we needed was provided, even a welcome bottle of wine! We will definitely be staying again. "
965700,33451534,2015-05-28,20758658,Vilte,We had a nice stay at Will and Karen's condo. The lovely bottle of wine that was left for us when we arrived was a nice surprise. It's a good location with plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Will and Karen were particularly accommodating with our check out time as our flight was not until later - they let us stay in the condo until we had to leave.
965700,33882778,2015-06-01,34318505,Christine,Will replied back within an hr or two after I requested to book (I was booking less than 24 hrs in advance). We arrived at the place which is  in a great location! Easy walk to sushi zushi/el arroyo (even for a girls in heels). The condo looks just how it is pictured-4 people stayed at ease. Pool was great for a quick dip and the area is safe. Will be looking to stay here again next time we're back in town! 
965700,35320540,2015-06-17,9720708,Brandy,These people are fantastic! Seriously the best hosts ever. They kept checking up on us to see if we needed anything over the course of our stay and made sure we were safe on our return home. I would highly recommend visiting here. The location is really great too! Only 1 mile from the hottest bars in town. Great trip!!
965700,36730010,2015-06-30,29108092,Jaime,"Where to start, Will and Karen are wonderful hosts. Thier response was always quick and timely, within minutes.               Upon arrival, location was great, one night we took a carriage bike ride instead of uber to get home.  Their place was clean and neat and included everything you could need for a short term or long term stay. They left some fresh fruit and beer for our indulgence. 
     Our other guests joined us on the second night and when asked about extra parking Will responded within minutes with answers. They checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we were happy. 
   Unfortunately we were so busy and unable to utilize the pool. The pool looked enticing and newly redone. Lastly, instructions for check-in and check-out were easy, we'll be staying again if the condo is available on our next trip. Thanks again."
965700,37387029,2015-07-06,1663915,Isabel,"Will & Karen have the most ideally located, charming home in Austin--we couldn't have asked for a better stay. Myself and 3 family members stayed over the 4th of July and upon arrival were greeted by easy, customized access to their home, a few welcoming treats inside as well as a comprehensive welcoming binder that included instructions and insider's tips/local hot spots-- it was like having a personal concierge. The first night that we arrived we were pretty pooped and settled down to some cable TV, only to realize that we didn't know how to work the remotes. Within about a minute of contacting Will, he promptly walked us through how to navigate the remote controls and made sure we were up and running in no time. After we left, Will pointed out to us that their trash can was missing (this was also unbeknownst to us but nevertheless our fault!), and just as friendly & helpful as with the TV, took care of it for us. From these impressions & interactions we can only assume that Will & Karen are extremely friendly, easy-going but extremely responsible people who will go out of their way to make your stay as wonderful as possible and be happy to do so.  Furthermore, everything was clean and well decorated, we were able to travel everywhere by foot from the UT Austin campus to the fireworks across the river to the Capitol and more--a great stay for a great occasion. Thanks again Will & Karen! "
965700,38205410,2015-07-13,14861006,Jordann,This was my second time staying in these condos and I had a great time once again! Such a great location and the hosts are awesome. Thanks again! :) 
965700,39675715,2015-07-25,21659853,Sean,"The guests staying before us apparently trashed Will & Karen's condo and broke their A/C before we arrived. A normal host would have probably cancelled the reservation, but not Will and Karen. They booked us a very nice hotel nearby to compensate for the inconvenience. I am new to the AirBnB process but I could not have asked for more hospitality. They also checked on us several times throughout the trip to make sure we were doing well. "
965700,40024572,2015-07-27,32071367,Leif,"The Condo was exactly as advertised and Will did a great job of ensuring we had everything we needed. Great hosts, highly recommended!"
965700,42039063,2015-08-10,5959685,Matthew,"Will and Karen were great hosts. Communication and check-in process was a breeze. The place was clean and the location is great. Overall, no complaints. Highly recommend. "

Awesome!"
965700,45150050,2015-08-31,2144085,Megan,Great experience with Will & Karen.  They were very responsive and easy to work with.  The condo was perfect and exactly as advertised.  Very clean and welcoming.  Private lot & parking space was great to have in that area.  Quick walk to the west side of downtown - we frequented the businesses each day of our stay.  Would recommend the condo to anyone and will book with them on our next trip.  
965700,47165418,2015-09-16,39635493,Michael,"Two friends and I stayed in Will & Karens condo for 15 days. We had just moved over from Ireland and used the stay as a base to find a permanent apartment. Will was a fantastic host, always on hand with any queries, quick to respond and willing to help at all times. After 14 hours travelling on the first day it was a huge bonus to us to have pizza and beer waiting for us in the fridge!! All the little touches were great like the toiletries in the bathroom and candy in kitchen. The condo was comfortable and has a brilliant pool - we met some of the other residents who were all friendly and welcoming. Special mention to Diamontina who helped us to move all our stuff to the new place! I would definitely stay here again, the location is perfect for anyone new to Austin as it is a short Uber ride to everything!"
965700,47628371,2015-09-21,34150924,Kelli,"Can you say perfect Austin stay?!!  Absolutely adorable condo, well stocked, perfectly decorated with great Austin recommendations, tons of reading material,  movies, super comfy couch and bed, sparkly pool, roomy bathroom, and did I mention wine was waiting for us...wow, we will be back!!  $6 Uber ride to Austin Convention Center and walking distance to TONS of great hotspots!  Thank you Will and Karen for an incredible stay!!"
965700,48722168,2015-09-28,41390563,Jessica,Will and Karen were great hosts at the Clarksville Condo. The condo had ample space and amenities for our group of 3 staying in Austin for a wedding weekend. We walked downtown as well as took a few Uber rides which averaged about $7/ride - very good location. Will and Karen checked in with us and made sure we had what we needed and that we felt welcome. Austin is a great city and being right in a neighborhood during our stay added to a great weekend. The pool at the condo complex was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again when in Austin. 
965700,50611495,2015-10-13,13045936,Karen,Will and Karen were wonderful with keeping in touch and ensuring we had a great stay. The amazing hospitality was so very appreciated and we cannot wait to stay again the next time we are in Austin. Thank you!!!!
965700,51309343,2015-10-19,43864284,Caitlin,"Will & Karen were great hosts - very prompt with responses to our questions and even left a bottle of wine for us! Very flexible with checkout time as well, which was much appreciated. 
The condo was clean and really simple to access. It was nice to have a secure parking spot during our stay. A 20 minute walk got us to a bunch of restaurants and bars - super convenient. We went to an AMAZING taco/tequila restaurant that they recommended on a list in the dining room.  Overall an easy,  great stay!"
965700,51838133,2015-10-24,1408888,Chase,"Will and Karen were excellent hosts, the apartment was clean and in a good location. They left plenty of recommendations and were available to me should I have any additional needs. The AC unit in the bedroom was a bit loud - I found that turning this off before bed helped me get a better sleep, but aside from that, everything was perfect. Excellent hosts and a great stay! "
965700,52567447,2015-10-31,1789500,Chris (& Melissa),"This condo served as a great base of operations for our week long stay in Austin. I thought we would pay a lot more given we were down there for the F1 US Grand Prix after two other airbnb hosts chose not to honor their listed price and declined requests so they could jack rates. Lucky for us, Will and Karen aren't into things for profit and we got a full condo for about the price of a hotel room.

Facilities-wise, the condo was exactly what we needed. The kitchen allowed us to cook a few meals for ourselves, after shopping at a nearby grocery store. There was one pan and one pot, so we did get creative once or twice, but it turned out to be enough. Access to an in-unit washer/dryer was VERY welcome after the super rainy and muddy weekend we spend at Circuit of the Americas. One thing to be aware of is the bed is pretty close to the ground. I see this now, looking at the pictures, but I didn't notice it when booking. This probably doesn't matter to most, but it was difficult for me to get out of the bed with a bad back.

Lastly, our hosts were very accommodating when some of the worst flooding in Texas history hit on the day we were slated to leave. Rather than force us out at the noon check-out time, we were originally granted a 3 pm checkout that turned into a ""whenever you need"" when our flight was continually delayed well into the evening. Will was in contact throughout the week, including multiple times during our last day, and made sure we weren't left wanting. 

I'd stay here if we ever find ourselves in Austin again."
875192,7022064,2013-09-03,7992224,Lisa,"My husband and I stayed at Ben and Christine's place while we were in Austin for a UT football game.  We loved their home and will definitely be back.  The location is also very close to campus. Although we did not meet, they were terrific hosts, were easy to communicate with and provided lots of ""extra touches"" for our stay."
875192,7165705,2013-09-09,2791064,Julie,"Extremely comfortable, clean and cute.  Just as pictured.  Even though they were out of town, they left out maps and suggestions on places to go.  Located within close driving distance to E 6th and downtown and they literally are a parking lot away from the train.  Ample amount of parking if you're driving.  Comfy bed and couch and great welcome goodies.  thanks for making our stay in Austin so easy and enjoyable"
875192,7884709,2013-10-07,8740725,Mallory,"Christine was an incredible host! Commute to and from the condo was extremely easy due to the location near downtown and the Capital Metro train. We felt very safe and had plenty of space to park our cars. The condo itself was clean, lovely, and quite cozy! Christine was kind enough to leave us breakfast in the refrigerator, coffee in the keurig, and plenty of information about how to get around town. She was very accessible and accommodating throughout our entire stay. I would highly recommend the Cozy East Austin Urban Flat to any Austin traveler!"
875192,8812779,2013-11-19,5123716,Stephen,"Staying at Christine's home was very enjoyable. My girlfriend and I had a great time staying there. It was extremely close to the Metro Rail and she was nice enough to leave us a map and schedule so we knew exactly when it would be there. We used it almost every time we went into Downtown. She also left us a list of their local favorites in Austin that we actually visited. Overall, her home was very clean, warm, accommodating, and spacious which are qualities we pursue in Airbnb listings."

They left us a cute note and some goodies for the trip, which we appreciated and they had a list of ""Favorites"" that steered us in the right direction on where to go to eat/drink/be merry.  PLUS they have fun board games, which sadly we did not have time to play this time.  But I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend!"
3979017,21348216,2014-10-15,294026,Arturo,Overall a great experience. The room was clean and exactly as shown in the photos. House very centrically located and hosts extremely kind. We were happy and comfortable in Katie's place. The little dog is adorable. 
3979017,21549826,2014-10-19,18601487,Peng,"Excellent experience, Katie, Peter and Justin are very nice hosts. They prepared clean towels, shampoo, toothbrush, fruits, snacks etc. for me in the room, several beers and juices in the fridge. The community is nice and quite, I'll stay with them when it visit Austin again. Oh, the bed is really comfortable. "
3979017,21696364,2014-10-21,6679618,Henrike,"Our stay at Katie's was just perfect! Her lovely house is located in a very cute and central neighborhood; both Katie, her boyfriend and the cute dog are very social and nice people; the room itself is very charming and has everything you need. We will be back! :) "
3979017,22130104,2014-10-30,13077250,Claire,Katie was a great host! The room and house was nice and tidy and clean. Katie and Pete were really cool and laid back. They had granola bars and mini toiletries for us. Their dog was also super cute. The neighborhood is nice and close to downtown but feels homey and hip in its own right. Plus they're right near the 7 bus line so it was easy to get around without a car.
3979017,22243670,2014-11-02,21764449,Elizabeth,"Katie was such a terrific host - she made our first AirB&B experience such a positive one!

3979017,22461848,2014-11-07,3174994,Annie,"Katie and her bf Pete were awesome hosts! Keys were left for us so checking in was easy, and we were delighted to find complementary toiletries, tea, and apples in our room. The house is old & charming, clean, & with character. They have a chinchilla that is oh so adorable & a dog who was reluctant but not unfriendly. We enjoyed our hosts' laid back attitude and helpful advice/suggestions for what to do in Austin. They even pulled a few strings & got us moved to the front of the wait list at a nice restaurant in downtown! Katie & Pete weren't in shared spaces much during our stay, but we're always accessible if we had questions. We also enjoyed playing Mario Kart on their Wii and making use of their French press for coffee in the morning. All in all, it was a great stay in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Highly recommended. "
3979017,22544135,2014-11-09,12971749,Wonju,Very quiet and pretty little house. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. The location was very close to the university and we were able to walk to the game and back. It is also very close to the bus stop. They have cute little doggie and chinchilla! 
3979017,22778011,2014-11-14,14101645,Tally,"The email that Katie sent me was very helpful, and explained everything that I needed to know. The house was cozy, and especially warm after the cold winds that had been blowing that day. Katie's roommate was very charming, and made me feel like I was a visiting friend rather than someone simply staying a night. Everything was clean, and little helpful plaques were posted to help me with my stay. The best were the muffins, Katie made them fresh, and I couldn't help but take one for the road. If I get a chance to head back to Austin, I know where I'd love to stay. "
3979017,22869295,2014-11-16,15009318,Geoffrey,Yes host made me feel welcome.

3979017,23353886,2014-11-29,24202027,Tianyuan,"This was my first Airbnb experience. Katie is a wonderful host, she replied my requirement immediately! Her home is so cool and the room we live is full of sunshine. It was so quiet and comfortable in her home.  "
3979017,23459933,2014-12-01,417537,Maria,"The place was great, looked just like the pictures.  We were in town for Thanksgiving, and when we arrived Katie and Pete were in the kitchen making pies.  They'd put together a basket of amenities including snack bars and travel size toiletries for anything we'd forgotten to bring, and had bagels for us to make in the morning.  Very chill and accommodating.  "
3979017,23541701,2014-12-03,2941544,Deanna,The accommodations were exactly as advertised.  The house was quiet and convenient.  the host and hostess were exceptionally accommodating.   I would definitely recommend it!

3979017,23846123,2014-12-12,14512957,Robbie,"This place is just fantastic! It is centrally located with access to a plethora of great places to eat. Katie, Pete, and Justin were wonderful hosts that offered great recommendations and were very welcoming. The room was spotless upon arrival and even had a big jug of water waiting for me (small detail, but after a day of traveling it was heaven). The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. If you're looking for a place to feel like an Austin resident, this is it! If I wasn't moving to Austin, I would definitely stay with them again! "
3979017,23913308,2014-12-14,23350296,Ralf,Katie and her roommates are great hosts and make you feel welcome immediately. An amazing attention to detail. Quiet and save neighborhood in walking distance to UT.  
3979017,23986313,2014-12-15,4624317,Noah,"Beautiful place, excellent communications, great location. Couldn't ask for a better stay. Katie was super responsive. The little wood signs for info in the bathroom were adorable. And loved having the drinking water in the room. Thanks for a stay that felt warm and welcoming. "
3979017,24069566,2014-12-18,24951322,David,"Great house, great location, love the neighborhood, centrally-located.  Large room.  It would be perfect for ACL or SXSW or Formula 1.  Katie was so thoughtful and accommodating -- I loved the little wood-burned instructions to make everything easy for busy travelers!"
3979017,24125129,2014-12-20,16542989,Agustín,"Katie is a perfect host and you can tell she enjoys being the perfect host. From the fairytale picket fence that opens and latches just so, the carefully curated furniture throughout the house, the bohemian-modern lights in the bedroom, the laser cut notes in the bathroom, and her attentiveness, demonstrated by instantaneous replies by text, the basket of toiletry essentials and breakfast bars, and her invitation to use the kitchen... These are just some glimpses into her natural ability to mix professionalism with authenticity and genuine friendliness. The neighborhood is charming and secluded while being in the middle of Austin and within minutes of major arteries: the best of being close to everything without any unpleasant sights and sounds of big roads. Anecdote, when I was packing the car the next morning I accidentally locked myself out of the house, and before I could write her a text asking for help, Katie had heard my quiet struggle with the knob and had unlocked the door for me."
3979017,24616847,2014-12-31,24944369,Peter,"Katie and Pete were super-friendly hosts.  The bedroom was immaculate and the mattress was extremely comfortable.  They provided a nice selection of shampoo, body wash, etc. as well as some snack bars. Easy walk to UT."

It home is lovely, in a wonderful neighborhood, very clean, and has wonderful charm. This was the best air b'n'b I have had, overall the experience was everything you would want!"
3979017,24907723,2015-01-03,21619614,Ting-An,Great place and nice host! Really beautiful and comfortable room. Katie even provides us with some snacks and drinking water in the room. Love this place! Definitely come again when I visit Austin!

3979017,25625562,2015-01-20,4943481,Ariel,"I rented out this Airbnb for my mother, who enjoyed it as far as I know. 

This is in an excellent neighborhood, close to UT as well as several Hyde Park cafes, restaurants and bars. Katie and her housemates are very friendly.
"
3979017,26016010,2015-02-01,22572437,Evan,Katie and Pete were exceptional hosts. I was visiting Austin to get a feel for the neighbourhoods and day-to-day life. Their house in Hyde Park was a perfect location: great restaurants and cafes nearby and downtown a pleasant hours walk through campus or Uber away. They went out of their way to offer lots of advice on getting the most out of Austin. The room gets an impressive amount of sunlight every morning. It was also filled with snacks and guidebooks; a welcoming touch.
3979017,26174383,2015-02-05,158212,Alex,Lovely house and people. Large clean room in a good location. Thoughtful hosts provided nice little amenities in the room.
3979017,26247287,2015-02-08,25044722,Andres,"I truly enjoyed my stay in 507 Texas Ave. It is superbly located in a beautiful neighborhood with a bus station literally 200 ft outside the house. In minutes, you will be in UT if you go northbound and just  a couple blocks south, there's a nice plaza with great caffés and local restaurants. Katie and Pete are very gracious, accommodating,  and willing to help you with just about anything you need. The room is very comfortable and Katie also provides a wonderful basket with snacks, teas, and also several Austin transportation guides. I couldn't have asked for more and I highly recommend a stay at her place!"
3979017,26535009,2015-02-15,1305149,Benjamin,"Katie's room in Hyde Park was perfect for a solo traveler looking for a convenient, centrally-located place to base their Austin explorations from. There were many small, thoughtful touches that enhanced the experience, including placards with instructions like how to wrestle with a tricky antiquated doorknob, and little amenities placed in the bedroom. The room and bed were very comfortable. Katie and her roommates were very warm hosts, as well. Recommended."
3979017,26876728,2015-02-21,3603686,Patrick,Katie and Pete were awesome hosts. The place was spic and span and the laundry was a huge bonus. Thanks for those fruit strips too. They saved me while I was waiting to interview. Great place. I highly recommend.

3979017,27823936,2015-03-12,19543685,Yun,Katie & Pete's house locates in a very quiet community very close to UT Austin. The room is clean and big and Katie prepared many useful small stuff in the room like sunscreen and tea bags. I feel very conformable and convenient staying there.  
3979017,28116607,2015-03-18,469560,Julian,"Katie & Pete's house in the quiet residential neighborhood of Hyde Park was perfect for my stay in Austin during SXSWi. There was plenty of space in the room & all the little laser-cut tags describing various aspects of the house were cute. Plus they have an adorable little chinchilla named Opal.

The house is steps from the bus to downtown, or you can bike; I found it's about a 20-25 minute bike ride. Although there isn't much going on in the immediate area, there is a commercial strip about a 5-10 minute walk up the street with a few coffee shops & restaurants.

Due to my schedule I didn't get much of a chance to hang out with Pete & Katie but during the few times I ran into them, they were very laid-back and friendly. Thanks again for hosting me!"
3979017,28379575,2015-03-23,10731060,Kristefan,The place was great and exactly as described. Katie and Pete are both professional and easy going which made for a very comfortable experience.

They provided many amenities that wouldn't be provided in a hotel and the house and room were clean and comfortable. I would go back and stay there again!"
3979017,29008729,2015-04-02,21363281,Dana,"Katie's home was wonderful. So many helpful instructions and additions that make a guest feel extra welcome. I had a short stay and didn't get to meet Katie, but she was always quick, detailed, and helpful in communication. Loved the area- I walked to a few cafés and stores in the evening, and it was a beautiful stroll. Would be happy to stay here again if I needed a room in Austin! "
3979017,29309935,2015-04-06,13805208,Valentina,"Staying at Katie's place has been the cherry on top of my amazing weekend in Austin.
The location is perfect, close to the city centre, you can go either by bus or car (very easy to park in front of the house).
Katie has been very nice, she gave all the informations for my arrival and when you walk into her house..wow!!
So bright, clean and with awesome furniture! The room is so cosy and it really made me feel like home. Katie provided for everything, maps, nice teas, and all the essentials!!
So ultimately, I really do recommend staying here, besides the amazing house, all the guys are nice and kind!!

Although we did not get to meet Katie in person due to schedule conflicts, she was quick with her responses to make sure our questions and concerns were addressed. Our hosts had the room set up with necessities for our convenience such as drinking water, shampoo, maps to nearby public transportation, etc. The place is beautifully decorated, you will feel right at home. It is in a beautiful  neighborhood close to UT. Overall we have nothing negative to say about our time here whatsoever. I definitely recommend staying here and look forward to staying here again if we are ever in the area."
3979017,29901670,2015-04-13,31055636,Alec,"Katie's place was in a cozy neighborhood and felt very welcoming. She got back to my request almost immediately and provided me with all the information I needed to get situated. Several small wooden signs were placed around the bedroom and bathroom with tips to troubleshoot the shower, how to use the internet, etc. if you had any questions. The house is minutes away from a bustling scene, but you wouldn't guess it when waking up in the morning. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are in the area."
3979017,30133027,2015-04-18,3686927,Isolde,"Katie was very welcoming and the room was tidy and quiet, the bed comfortable. About a 15 minute walk to the edge of UT, about 30 min to other side of campus. Ten minutes from a lovely vegetarian restaurant. "
3979017,30266876,2015-04-19,31311346,Allison,"Thanks for a nice stay! Although I was only there overnight, it was fun to experience the neighborhood. The room was very clean and airy, and the little amenities (teas, water, travel toiletries, etc.) were thoughtful, as were the cute little wooden signs. Katie was friendly and helpful - it would have been nice to get to know my hosts better, but I was out and about most of the waking hours. Quick and easy bus access, and walking downtown actually isn't too bad you're up for some exercise. I traveled alone and felt quite safe. Overall, a great first airbnb experience! "
3979017,31258263,2015-05-03,20380350,Wink,Katie and Pete were great hosts. The room was superbly appointed and had everything I needed for an overnight stay in Hyde Park. I especially appreciated all the finishing touches including the basket of goodies. Thanks for a pleasant stay! - Wink

They even let my dog out and hung out with her for a while when I was tubing with my dad! I'll definitely try to stay at their house next time that I'm in Austin."
3979017,38088999,2015-07-12,3152488,Xiaoxiao,Nice stay. Maybe good to put an Airbnb tag or flag in front of the house? So that guests can easily find the house.
3979017,39719306,2015-07-25,19007525,Margaret,"I traveled alone to Austin this time so I was looking for a safe & convenient place to stay near campus. This space did not disappoint! Quiet, comfortable, safe & affordable. I discovered I had forgotten my toothbrush upon arrival at 11:15pm. Katie saved the day thanks to her basket of goodies in the room. "

I would definitely stay there again!"

5901889,31840202,2015-05-10,31177053,Kara,We couldn't have found a better place for my friends' bachelorette party.  Centrally located and plenty of room for our group 5.  Marjorie was extremely flexible and even helped us find parking for our group.  Such a charming place!!!
5901889,33858753,2015-06-01,6455512,Jenna,We LOVED the house for our weekend in Austin with friends. The house was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better location. We'll be back! 
5901889,34708085,2015-06-11,5110925,Griff,"The Waterson House was the perfect spot for our week long visit to Austin. The house is large, comfortable and accommodating. We enjoyed cooking and spending time in the house almost as much as we enjoyed Austin. Marjorie was very friendly and communicative, she reached out several times to ensure that we were comfortable. The neighborhood is very walkable with restaurants, shops, and a grocery store nearby. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in Austin. "
5901889,35859730,2015-06-22,2077608,Abby,"The house was so inviting and the perfect size for our week long staycation. Marjorie was great to deal with and the house had everything we needed to feel at home. Loved spending time on the front porch & the dogs enjoyed the fenced backyard. 
The only downside was the age of the house & our 9mth old baby :( you can hear patrons & staff talking at the restaurant from the bedrooms, especially the slamming service door in the back of the restaurant that's immediately outside the bedroom walls. It opened & closed all day & night. So my only advice is to families with little ones who nap :) our noise machine drowned out most of it but some things they just can't sleep through. 
Otherwise the house was perfect! Will recommend it to any large party coming to stay in our awesome city. Location, size & style were all great. "
5901889,37176162,2015-07-05,31112890,Aaron,"This was such a great place to stay! The house was super comfortable, felt like I was at home. Really modern but cosy, awesome environment! Location was great, 2 min from 6th and Lamar extremely nice neighborhood with gorgeous homes!
Marjorie was amazing to work with, great communication, we are for sure staying here again!"
5901889,37611556,2015-07-08,13607899,James,"Five of us stayed in the Waterson House for 4th July weekend and we absolutely loved it! It was very clean and nicely furnished, with great beds and very well equipped with basic food, kitchen utensils and towels.

It is in a fantastic location and neighbourhood in Austin, with plenty of driveway and on-road parking. 

There is a great grocery store 30 seconds walk away, useful for the
for the big grill in the nice back yard, equipped with a table, umbrella and chairs.

It was also very useful to have the pair of bikes at our disposal.

It was nice of Marjorie to stop by to say hello and check everything was okay on the first day, she was a pleasure to deal with.

I'd recommend this place to anyone, and for our first time in Texas we had a blast!

5901889,44101072,2015-08-24,31627212,Lorelei,Great house!
5901889,45700270,2015-09-05,6186549,Crissa,"Marjorie was a dream to communicate with. Super easy to coordinate check in and check out times! This is my favorite neighborhood in Austin. We had the best time getting drinks at Josephine's House (the cutest restaurant in Austin) next door. It was also wonderful having the small grocery across the street and having the coffee shop, Cafe Medici. Wonderful area + home! "
5901889,46182659,2015-09-08,41310955,Chris,"Perfect house, best location in Austin! Couldn't pick a better place. "
5901889,46879226,2015-09-14,36707295,Mallory,"Marjorie was great and we loved our weekend at the Waterston House! I would highly recommend this as a place to stay to anyone who is coming to Austin. It was centrally located, clean and provided us with everything we needed for a nice weekend getaway. "
5901889,47963130,2015-09-22,2839829,Wendy,"5 stars! Waterston House has a perfect central location with great restaurants right beside you and the coolest neighborhood market just across the street. It's a  great little house with comfy beds and a well~stocked kitchen,  so entertaining is a breeze! The backyard is fenced with outdoor furniture and  set up with a large grill ~great for gatherings!  Marjorie is a friendly,  competent and responsive host~a real pleasure to work with.  I highly recommend this house and will stay there again when I'm in Austin."
5901889,49596078,2015-10-05,9402476,Charles,"The house was amazing! It was more than we expected and really made our stay in Austin extra special. It had everything we needed, the location was awesome and Marjorie was a fantastic host. Always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed! Thank you!"
5901889,51436652,2015-10-20,27557924,Michele,"The Waterston House was an amazing place to stay in Austin. It's literally steps from a couple of restaurants and a local grocery store. The house gets a ton of natural light in the morning, the decor is super cute and the beds are very comfortable. 

You don't really need a car staying at this house. We took Uber every where in the city. It was about a $27 Uber ride from the airport to the house and a $10-$20 ride to South Congress Avenue or Rainy Street. 

I've already recommended The Waterston House to a couple of friends looking to visit Austin. You won't go wrong staying here."
5901889,52242309,2015-10-27,45043283,Martin,"We have really enjoyed our stay at the Waterston House.
Everything was great.
"
4270825,21319894,2014-10-14,5416750,Troy,"This was an excellent property to stay at for the several days that I was in Austin attending ACL. Quiet neighborhood, on a quiet street. I had my bicycle, so getting around the city was easy for me, either biking or when I took a cab. Cab to downtown ran around $10. It suited my needs quite well, a quiet place to get some rest in between days at the music festival. "
4270825,22322817,2014-11-03,2449998,Jonathan,Houston has a great place. Two nice cats and a great desk for doing work. I work from home during the day so having a desk was great! 
4270825,22664335,2014-11-11,22172927,Hannah,"Houston's place was great. We were attending Fun Fun Fun Fest, and mainly just needed a place to recharge. We were a short walk to a bus stop, and only about a 10 minute cab ride away from our destination. Houston was very accommodating and pleasant. This was our first air bnb experience and we enjoyed it!"
4270825,22973281,2014-11-18,21408277,Rene,"Houston is an exceptional host! We needed a place to stay on short notice and he got back with us right away. He was very informative, leaving us explicit directions regarding his home and how to make our selves comfortable should he be unavailable. He accommodated us with food, drink and hospitable conversation anytime we saw him. Nothing was left to question. The room was cozy, clean and warm. We felt at home all the time and I loved that he had friendly pets (2 cats). His home is in a great neighborhood not far from all things fun. I would recommend staying with Houston if you have the chance ;) "
4270825,23553723,2014-12-04,13883380,Camille,"Houston was an awesome host. He was out of town during most of our stay but the house was clean, comfortable and had all the necessities. Houston even made us dinner and hung out with us when he came back into town. The cats are the most friendly I've ever met and are indoor/outdoor so you can let them out if you prefer. Great location in Hyde Park."
4270825,23821289,2014-12-11,22499681,Tova,"Houston was a perfect host from beginning to end. He made me feel welcome at his adorable cottage, which was in a great neighborhood. He took me out for a night on the town my first night and thought of a lot of little touches, from stocking the fridge with diet coke to leaving a nice little guest shelf in the bathroom. The whole house was clean and cozy, and his cats, Josephine and Gray Cat, were cuddly substitutes for my pup, even when they were ""making biscuits"" with my fleece. "
4270825,24055499,2014-12-18,10734648,Evelyn,"My stay with Houston was easy and comfortable from start to finish. He had clear directions for me prior to my arrival so it made finding his place a cinch. I was also immediately greeted by his cat, Josephine, when I went to get the key from the lock box. I was instantly charmed by her. He owns another cat and they were the biggest sweethearts - I purposefully choose AirBnb hosts with animals as I love them! 

When I got to my room, Houston had water bottles waiting for me (which I appreciate because I get thirsty at night!). I noticed immediately how neat and tidy Houston keeps his place. My queen bed was comfortable, the wifi was fast, and the bathroom was very clean. I have no complaints about my accommodations.

The best part of your stay, if you ever get the pleasure, is to meet your host Houston. I had never been to Austin and he was very helpful with suggestions, but best of all, he is just great company - kind, polite, great conversation."
4270825,24486575,2014-12-29,18563006,Steve,"We stayed at Houstons for 4 days over Christmas and had a wonderful time. Unfortunately we never got to meet Houston as he was away but the house was great, extremely clean and in a nice neighbourhood with easy access to downtown. The kitchen is well stocked with all utensils required to cook up our big Christmas lunch. We also enjoyed Houston's 2 cats they were so friendly, a little big cheeky and great company. Highly recommend."
4270825,24613837,2014-12-31,12511861,Eddie,"This was a great experience and I would definitely recommend staying with Houston. He was very friendly and accommodating, and the room, bathroom and rest of the house  was exactly as described. The house was clean and nicely furnished. The neighborhood is a quiet residential area with beautiful tree-lined streets and very well kept houses. Again I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great, easy place to stay in Austin. "
4270825,25614073,2015-01-20,6940379,Holly,"We enjoyed staying at Houston's place.  The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was satisfactory, and the cats were great. Mona likes to sleep in a recliner (slight sleep apnea), and Houston's recliner was perfect for her. Each of us got a cat for bedtime company (could have shut them out, but we both liked them).  I am pretty sure that Mona didn't pack up either cat to take home with her, but she would have liked to."
4270825,26315656,2015-02-09,14545968,Tess,"Houston is one of the friendliest and welcoming Airbnb hosts I've met. He's thoughtful (providing bedside water bottles and Topo Chico) and  happy to make conversation whenever you're around. His house is even cuter than pictured, complete with two friendly but low-maintenance cats. I especially loved its location in the adorable, walkable, and quiet Hyde Park neighborhood, though it's still easily accessible to the rest of Austin. "
4270825,26824704,2015-02-20,4957257,Chelsea,Houston was awesome! He shared a couple beers with us and was really interesting to talk to. I wish we hadn't been too tired to take him up on his pool invitation. The cats were also adorable.
4270825,26899023,2015-02-21,12988250,George,Had a great time staying here. The place was exactly as described and the host was awesome. We enjoyed the cats and playing pool at your local pool hall. I owe you a beer!
4270825,27719179,2015-03-10,26582596,Donald,"Houston was away for a few days when I arrived at his home to check in. He'd provided all I needed to start my stay at his home. When he returned, we actually didn't cross paths until I had been staying there for a week. He'd leave for work early, before I'd be up in the morning, and I would return late at night. Houston prepared a breakfast on the first Saturday morning I was at his home. A quiet neighborhood. Friendly neighbors. I enjoyed my stay at Houston's home."
4270825,28157826,2015-03-19,14498029,Carl,"I had a great time staying with Houston in his lovely house in Hyde Park district of Austin. Houston gave me plenty of space and trust.  The house is cute and the cats are very sweet. Its an ideal base to see Austin and surrounding, some local shops, easy access to downtown by 20 min bus ride and a peaceful place to reside. "
4270825,28298140,2015-03-22,24539184,Tor-Arne,Huston was a very friendly host. He was very welcoming. The bed was really comfy and the house was only a 15minute bus ride from DT Austin. He was very understanding when you break his light in the middle of the night when leaving for the airport. He even wakes up to check if you are (website hidden): To get on his good side bring diet coke. 
4270825,28483813,2015-03-24,28529317,Barely Bob,He was a very cool guy ! We were barely in the house but when we were around he had tons of recommendations for us. The cats are love too.
4270825,28804853,2015-03-30,2628401,Sarah,"The house was very clean, cozy, and welcoming. Clean sheets on a comfy bed and a solid locking door for privacy. The host, Houston, was out of town when I stayed but he made it really easy to get in and out of the house. There are two cats who live in the house but are indoor/outdoor cats and very friendly and easy going. The first night I left them outside and they didn't mind. The second night they slept in the living room while I was in the bedroom and they were quiet. You wouldn't even know cats lived there. "
4270825,29568358,2015-04-09,29477845,Daniel,"Houston was very welcoming and accommodating.  We especially enjoyed his cats.  Great location as well which was convenient.  Accessible to buses and not too far from downtown.  More importantly, we felt very safe.    

He was willing to work around our schedule, if need be, which was AWESOME although not expected by us.  

We were there during Easter and he let us have full reign over his kitchen (also not expected, but very much appreciated).  Overall, we were pleased with our decision to spend our week with Houston and we would recommend him to anyone else who happens to be heading to Austin!"
4270825,29978831,2015-04-15,28931556,Nancy,Houston made me feel very welcome.  The house was in a nice quiet neighborhood.  He has two cats that are very friendly and I found the bed comfortable and clean.  I just sleep there at night so I did not get to know the area too well.  I spent most of my time closer the the city center and the university.   He had towels for me to use and bottled water was provided in my room.  The room was small but it was ok for me because I spent most of my time with my son and his girlfriend exploring Austin.  We went to Esters Follies and the Hill Country where we wine tasted at Driftwood and Solaireo Wineries.  I highly recommend both of these activities.  
4270825,30392724,2015-04-21,28681857,Maggie,"Fantastic host and lovely clean home. Houston made us feel so welxome and comfortable.  This will be our go to spot in Austin, thanks Houston! "
4270825,30866983,2015-04-28,2644641,Norhan,"The host was very accommodating and friendly. His home was clean and comfortable, and it was located in a really neat neighborhood. (Also, his cats were sweet!)"
4270825,32062515,2015-05-13,29986821,Gregg,"I stayed with two friends at Houston's house and he was a wonderful and accommodating host who made our stay as easy as possible as well as giving us great advice about places to eat and visit. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to stay in the area. 
Gregg"
4270825,33356253,2015-05-27,12705426,Marianela,"Todo estuvo muy bien en casa de Houston.  El barrio excelente, junto a un hermoso parque donde pudimos caminar en las mañanas. La casa muy acogedora, una cama muy confortable, nos sentimos como en casa propia. Houston es muy atento y flexible con los horarios; nos dio la libertad de entregar su casa a cualquier hora en el día de salida.  Sin ninguna duda volvería a alojarme en su casa. Sus mascotas (2 gatitos) son muy amigables y no causaron ninguna molestia, fue un gusto alimentarlos. "
4270825,33968131,2015-06-02,33151006,Curtis,"Houston has a comfortable house in a quiet neighborhood in Austin that is driving, or bicycling distance from a lot of cool things in the city. He's a really nice guy and very accommodating. He truly is a Diet Coke addict, and after peering at his book shelves, has a great taste in literature too. He gave us some great food recommendations and could vouch for many other things to do in the city. Overall, I'd highly recommend Houston's house to fellow airbnb-ers. "
4270825,37584562,2015-07-08,35367403,Bryan,We loved staying at Houston's! He was very helpful and accommodating. He let our small dog stay and she loved him too. The room was clean and the perfect size for us.
4270825,37912515,2015-07-11,37239981,Jesse,"This was a very pleasant stay. My two friends and I pulled in a little late in the evening but Houston came out to greet us right away which we really appreciated. We came inside, put our bags down, and had a nice relaxing chat with Houston. He is very personable and social but also respectful of his hosts' privacy and space. We basically had the entire downstairs to ourselves which was very convenient. This place is perfect for a quiet, peaceful overnight stay."
4270825,38321946,2015-07-14,9246917,Emily,"We had a great time staying at HOuston's place! Located in a cute neighborhood, the home was convenient to downtown. Houston was a great host with good advice on the best places to eat and visit. If we find ourselves in Austin again, we would love to stay here!"
4270825,39042015,2015-07-20,865713,Sally,"Holy Smokes, Houston was amazing. What a great host. Not only was the place comfortable and great, the location was wonderful with lots of restaurants within walking distance, a great museum for a great Sculptor was a couple of blocks away, But Houston made it better by giving us so many great places to go and see, and even walked with us to see the moon towers which are definitely worth the walk. You cannot go wrong staying with Houston."
4270825,40165810,2015-07-28,23677537,Dave,I wish I could give Houston 10 stars. He is a great guy with a great place. Really close to 3 different bus stops which made getting around cheap and easy. I will definitely rebook with him the next time I am in Austin.
4270825,40681679,2015-08-01,39647804,Andie,"Houston was a very accommodating host and I felt completely welcome, safe, and comfortable in his adorable cozy Hyde Park area home.  The neighborhood is lovely with many beautiful restored historic homes and large trees. There is a park very close and it was easy for me to get to/from everywhere I needed to go while I was in town. I enjoyed my downtime relaxing in the shady backyard and the bedroom was comfortable and clean and I slept very well. Houston was quiet and respectful  of my privacy but also very nice and friendly to talk with. I will definitely book this space again next time I come to town! "
4270825,41249368,2015-08-05,37836389,Chiara,Houston was extremely friendly and welcoming but he was also very respectful of our space. Overall it was a great stay and I wouldn't hesitate to book the same place again. The location was also great for our needs with plenty of parking on the street.
4270825,41544241,2015-08-07,40433662,Elliott,"Had a great 2-night stay at Houston's bungalow. It's comfy, his two cats are awesomely cuddly and he made every effort to ensure it was an easy arrival. Thanks for having me!"
4270825,41565328,2015-08-07,10460151,Merinda,"Although I did not get to actually cross paths with Houston, his place is exactly as described and pictured, and is clean and comfortable. It's in a great location not far from downtown and other attractions, and is close by to public transport and about a $10 uber from downtown. Despite not meeting Houston I was made to feel very welcome and he was very responsive to my last minute request."
4270825,43235998,2015-08-18,35515147,Julia,"Houston's place was wonderful! Clean room, close to downtown and with plenty of parking, our stay was great! The Hyde Park neighborhood where the house is located is also full of awesome stuff to do. I'd definitely recommended staying at Houston's!  "
4270825,44306846,2015-08-25,10433411,Lua,"What a great guy! Lovely house, the cats basically became my best friends for the next few days, and the location was brilliant.

Cant wait to come back to Austin!"
4270825,45817270,2015-09-06,40439450,Paul,"Houston's place was perfec,t close to where I needed to be, and very relaxing.  You'll love the house and the Texas hospitality that is offered by Houston.   In every way PERFECT!  :)  Not to mention,  Grey Cat the perfect security!

Thanks  Houston will come again!"
4270825,46219877,2015-09-08,31738351,Lindsay,"Houston is a fantastic host! My friend Lucia and I enjoyed a fun 2-night stay over Labor Day weekend. Houston's place is clean, comfortable, and boasts an awesome location in a quiet residential neighborhood close to lots of good restaurants and UT Austin's campus. The kitties are also very friendly and make the place feel like home. Houston gave us great recommendations and even met us for a drink on Rainey Street. We had a great time! Thank you so much for having us!"
4270825,46538736,2015-09-11,7333336,Cesar,"Houston nos dio muchas facilidades a la hora de hacer el check in, y un montón de indicaciones sobre la casa y sobre Austin.
La casa era muy bonita y estaba muy limpia. La habitación era muy cómoda, y tuvimos mucha privacidad.
La situación era  muy buena, cerca de Guadalupe y de Duval. Aunque teníamos coche, pudimos ir andando a varias zonas con restaurantes, tiendas y cosas que hacer.
Sólo siento no haber visto más a Houston, pero en Austin hay mucho que hacer y no estuvimos mucho en casa!
En resumen, experiencia buenísima. Ojalá podamos repetir!"
4270825,46966266,2015-09-14,2830076,Laura,"This was a perfect experience. Houston made getting the key a breeze--for me, one of the most important ingredients. And the room: he thought of everything! There was a place to hang clothes, 2 bottles of water waiting, towel and soap, a lamp to read with, a power strip near the bed to plug in electronics, a dresser, guidebooks laid out for austin, an extra blanket, and dinosaur tattoos!

He left extra little toiletries if I needed them and coffee and tea. He cleared out a place for me to be able to set things down in the bathroom. Austin has a great backyard with a table an chairs for relaxing, reading or eating breakfast. 

Austin really embraces the AirBnB spirit of sharing and making guests feel welcome. Thank you so much Houston!"
4270825,47697551,2015-09-21,9369090,Kim,"I stayed at Houston's place for a week and it was great. Hyde Park is a beautiful neighbourhood and a good base for exploring the city. I hired a bike nearby (Waterloo Cycles, 10$ a day) and was able to get downtown in 20 minutes or so. There's also a bunch of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby.

The room was a good size and comfy and Houston has everything setup to make your stay easy. He was super easy going and great to chat to when we crossed paths in the evening.

Also, probably the friendliest two cats i've ever met! Overall, a great little find."
4270825,47905584,2015-09-21,44130191,Daniel,Great location and responds very quickly to any questions you may have. I had a great time. 
4270825,48429603,2015-09-26,2245865,Anton,"Houston is a great host!
He gave us great detailed directions, left some water in the room and gave a list of things to do worth a week staying :)
The space is very neat and clean, bed was great and Grey Cat was super friendly and even allowed to take a selfie with him :) The location is very quiet and nice with a direct bus to downtown in a couple of blocks.
Thanks for a nice stay!"
4270825,48645572,2015-09-27,44859988,Jesse,"Nice please, easy access when we arrived late."
4270825,49129628,2015-10-01,36014985,少博,I would strongly recommend you stay at Houston's house if you have a plan to visit Austin.
4270825,50450464,2015-10-12,40534825,Sara,Huston was a great host!  The house was very clean and super cute. The neighborhood had many wonderful places within walking distance that my husband and I really enjoyed going to. I definitely recommend Houston's home for a single person or couple looking for a great place to stay in Austin.  
4270825,51011241,2015-10-17,37338719,Karen,"Houston made us feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in! He was great to chat to, but also gave us our space to relax and hangout. The deck in back had a table which is great for breakfast and dinner, and the room was quite comfortable. The two kitties are very affectionate, so make sure you have time to pat them! 

Hyde Park is a fantastic place to stay
Thanks for hosting us, we had a great stay!"
4270825,51467248,2015-10-20,44946844,Zack,"Staying at Houston's place was a pleasure.  He was accommodating, laid-back, and polite, and managed to find the perfect balance between making us feel at home and giving us privacy.

The house itself is old, and the (overall quite comfortable) queen bed sags a bit in the middle, but the small room is nicely laid out, and Houston has been very thoughtful in providing a stash of cellphone chargers, Austin-specific magazines, and helpful info.  The overall experience is very nice, and I'd gladly stay there again.  Still, if you're uncomfortable with older houses and the dings, discolorations, and creative retrofits that they inevitably bring with them, you may want to examine other options.

I lived in Austin for 6 years, and the neighborhood surrounding the place is one of my very favorite in the city.  Quiet, but close to it all.  Quack's, the bakery a 2-minute walk away, might be the best in the city, if not the state."
4270825,52393663,2015-10-29,33221921,Tina,"I had a great time at Houston's place. It is very well located in a pleasant neighborhood and Houston lent me a bike to ride around. The campus is a 10-minute ride, and downtown 20mn. Buses are also close to his place and dependable. 
Houston has been friendly and helpful, and accepted to answer my questions about the ways of his country.
I definitely recommend his place. "
5647599,28439719,2015-03-23,2447974,David And Tiff,Karen was responsive & generous throughout the booking process and made our group feel right at home. The listing is perfectly accurate and the space itself is incredibly lovely-  a welcome sanctuary during a busy week for us with SXSW. Would definitely recommend Karen's space and stay again (and loved Austin so may just have to!)
341665,1003037,2012-03-15,723991,Naithan,"Christie was excellent as a host! She came to pick me and my crew up from the airport in Austin and she couldn't have been more accommodating. Her home was warm, clean and cozy. She gave us a quick tour and showed us the lay of the land then let us go from there. I really liked Christie and her home and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone that wants to stay there."
341665,2687344,2012-10-22,3752288,Sid,My stay at Christie's place was great! She had great communication and she kept the house very clean. I would definitely stay with at Christie's place again!
341665,2925627,2012-11-20,2595493,Justen,Christie is a good host. She was available to answer question with a quick response. Her house is nice and accommodated five guys well. We stayed for the Formula 1 race and the location worked out well. Thanks again 
341665,3392490,2013-01-22,4203885,Judy,"Five of our family were in Austin for a wedding and found Christie's home extremely comfortable and wonderfully outfitted.  It is conveniently located to downtown Austin, many local restaurants and great shopping.
She is a most welcoming hostess and we had no problems at all.  We wish we were kids again and could play on all the backyard amenities.
We would highly recommend her home and hopefully will stay there again.

341665,3771160,2013-03-13,4445855,Victoria,Christie was an excellent host! She was very accommodating to our needs and was quick to respond whenever we needed it. I would recommend her house to anyone traveling to Austin. It's a quick drive to downtown and to the airport which is an extra plus!  
341665,4358394,2013-04-30,3615334,Jason,"Christie and her family have a lovely home and it was just what I needed for a weekend getaway to Austin with a group of friends.  There was room for everyone to sleep, the kitchen, dining room and living room were cozy, and the back yard patio was a nice place to relax in the sun or shade.  Their home is just a few miles from all the action on S. Congress, yet also convenient to jump on the highway to the airport. The neighborhood is residential, quiet and well kept.  If you're looking for a whole house this is the place to relax. And I love meeting an Airbnb host, learning a little about them and their family, and knowing that our payment will be helping them make their home better and better to also improve their quality of life."
341665,8078338,2013-10-15,7069696,Jessica,Everything was perfect!  Thank you!
341665,10923066,2014-03-13,5090776,Carolyn,"Lynn was a very kind and considerate host - typical Texas hospitality! I know she really cares about her guest's experience because when we forgot several items in the house on our last day, she braved the brutal traffic on the last day of SXSW Interactive Trade Fair to hand-deliver our things to us. There was also a life-saving welcome basket with fruit, coffee, and coffee cake. Sweet!"
341665,18906006,2014-09-02,19985019,Bryan,"Christie was very nice. House was very clean and cozy. The neighborhood was quiet. Overall we had a great time, will definitely book with Christie again. "
341665,19243184,2014-09-08,15943316,Albert,"The house was perfect for 5 people, we had plenty of space and would have probably been comfortable with up to 8. The location was very convenient for enjoying Austin. Lynn was very flexible with both check in and check out. We had no complaints."
341665,21608794,2014-10-20,9671226,Shawn,Very comfortable home in a nice neighborhood. Overall good experience.
341665,22693598,2014-11-12,20437047,Marilyn,"This is the perfect place to stay when in Austin.  House is so welcoming, spotless, well furnished and close to everything.  Lynn made it all so easy, we felt we were staying at a friend's place.   "
341665,26063565,2015-02-02,25134861,Nhi,"Lovely home to stay in when you’re in Austin. Location was convenient. Lynn’s home was very welcoming and cozy! I felt like I was at home. Overall, we had a great time!"
341665,28206402,2015-03-20,5143938,Sue-Jean,Lynn was a great host and her home was wonderful. She was very communicative and even followed up after having found one if our belongings after check-out. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin.
341665,29828530,2015-04-13,16353708,Jim,"We were in town for the Moto GP race at Circuit of the Americas, and Lynn’s home was perfect for us!  The house is in a nice quiet and mature neighborhood, and as advertised it is very conveniently located.  All the rooms were spotless, and the house was fully stocked with everything you need for a very comfortable stay.  Lynn was extremely pleasant to deal with, and she promptly responded to our questions.  I don't believe one could ask for a better host!  We hope to be back next year."
341665,30286171,2015-04-20,7877135,Josh,"Everything was just as pictured and described. I couldn't be happier, thank you!!"
341665,31913585,2015-05-11,30876375,Rhonda,Host was great. House was easy to find. Neighborhood was quite. 
341665,32043630,2015-05-12,29216297,Britni,The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
341665,46199292,2015-09-08,3782466,Austin,"This was my first airbnb.  The house/host were great and she made it very easy for us to settle in for labor day weekend, putting sticky notes with clues where everything was located at.  Such as the pull out bed in the living room, the air mattress in the front living room, the wifi password, etc.  The house looks just as it does in the photos, and the drive to downtown via uber is 10-15 minutes depending on traffic and 10-15 minutes from the Austin airport.  This house sits on a quiet street, and we never heard any of neighbors or street traffic.  If we are back in Austin again, we will stay here again.  "
341665,49764269,2015-10-06,3826919,Anu,We thoroughly enjoyed Lynn's place. It was so easy to find and the place was great! Beds for our whole group and they were pretty comfortable too. Everything we could need in arms reach :)
5060912,26274498,2015-02-08,25912649,Jarrett,"Host was very welcoming, provided snacks and homemade cookies! Very thoughtful even had a hot spot for us to use because her Internet had not been set up yet. There were full grown men and we all had plenty of space with plenty of beds and even had extra air mattresses for us. All in would differently recommend for anyone coming to Austin for a night or weekend. "
5060912,28686391,2015-03-28,29895854,Davis,"Our host was absolutely incredible to our party. She provided snack foods, drinks and other miscellaneous things for our stay. The house was very cozy and modern. Would love to stay again! 10/10!"
5060912,29668076,2015-04-11,27338165,Lisa,"This house is beautifully decorated and very comfortable.  We stayed for a week with a family of 5 and this house made for a perfectly relaxed vacation.  Jennifer had completely stocked the kitchen and household with everything we could possibly need, including hiding Easter eggs for the kids since we were there over Easter.  "
5060912,30790620,2015-04-27,9446675,Jerry,"Jennifer was an absolutely amazing host.  She met me in advance of our group's arrival, walking me through the home and the bounty of amenities she had arranged.  The home is a great, two-level condo that comfortably accommodated my group of 10.

I'd definitely stay at any place hosted by her again.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
5060912,32399168,2015-05-17,30880510,Kayla,Jennifer was amazing! She went above and beyond for our weekend to be so special and amazing the house was so clean and so much room the house looked just like the pictures well actually much much better in person. we had 8 girls stay for a Bachlorette party and everyone felt just right at home Jennifer provided snacks and drinks and a special gift for the bride also everything we needed was provided stuff that we actually forgot was already at the house for our use it was perfect! we had a wonderful weekend and the house was everything we needed! Would recommend to anyone and will for sure be staying here again in the future.  
5060912,32975016,2015-05-24,20133487,Alex,"Friendly and hospitable host! Jennifer provided a yummy continental breakfast (fruit, cereal, etc.) and drinks. Her house was very clean and love the location. HEB and shopping nearby. Definitely plan on staying here again on my next Austin trip!"
5060912,33675698,2015-05-31,30297185,Whitney,"Jennifer has a beautiful, well equipped home! As a host, she was beyond hospitable and made the whole process very easy. I would 100% return to Jennifer's home and would recommend to friends in a heartbeat!

"
5060912,37201536,2015-07-05,31224043,Andy,"Had an excellent stay here. Jennifer was a fantastic host, the house was impeccable and our stay was very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!"
5060912,38867424,2015-07-19,4777627,Richard And Namaste,We thoroughly enjoyed staying in Jennifer's space. Gorgeous and light. Welcoming and accommodating. Generously appointed and gracious host. Would definitely do it again! 
5060912,39808424,2015-07-26,15772013,Tommy,"Jennifer was a great host and was constantly in contact to make sure that everything was okay. Very hospitable and accommodating. She made sure to stock the place with more than enough snacks and toiletries for our entire stay. The place was clean, comfortable, and convenient. The Mueller neighborhood gave us quick access to I-35 and downtown. Overall, it was a great stay and I would definitely stay there again."
5060912,40864499,2015-08-02,32995040,Phong,"Our group came into Austin for three days for a reunion and had to book a place last minute.  Jennifer screened me first to make sure I wasn't an ax murderer, and after that could not have been more friendly and accommodating.  Her entire house is tastefully appointed.

Highlights of the residence:

House is impeccably clean with a modern feel
Fully stocked kitchen
More than enough fresh linens for our group of eight
Access to the community pool
Close proximity to downtown ($8 Uber ride to the dirty 6)

The check-in and check-out process was easy and hassle-free.  I would not hesitate to book this place again the next time I'm in town.

5060912,42886313,2015-08-16,33724676,Ashley,Our experience was perfect from beginning to end! We had 7 girls and couldn't of asked for a better place. Jennifer and her daughter Ginger were beyond accommodating and so sweet. Jennifer and Ginger gave us recommendations of places in Austin which was very helpful. I would defiantly recommend this place and hope one day to be back!
5060912,44893268,2015-08-30,32631251,Carlie,"Jennifer is extremely helpful and easy to communicate with.  She has a fast response time and was totally flexible with our check-in, and that is something airbnbers should look for in a good host.  She holds a pretty high standard in my books =) 

Jennifer wasn’t the only highlight.  The real highlight was the comfortable, beautifully laid out home which made it perfect for 8 girls to hang out.

Jennifer, thanks so much!! You are spectacular and my girls and I highly recommend your home  =)"
5060912,46096824,2015-09-07,43306049,Sarah,"This house is absolutely perfect for a girls weekend getaway in Austin. The house completely exceeded my expectations!! Jennifer got us in very last minute, yet still provided beautiful flowers for my bachelorette party and a cake and plenty of snacks for us to have while staying in her home! All of my friends had the best experience and raved about how nice the house was, the neighborhood and the perfect neighborhood pool just down the street. We will definitely be coming back here when we can!! "
5060912,47080074,2015-09-15,42062075,Charles,"The place was spotless and well-appointed, and Jennifer is charming, patient, and a great source of information about Mueller and Austin. Got to see my first self-driving Google car on the same street and that was cool. "
5060912,47653813,2015-09-21,806972,Jessica,"Jennifer was amazing!  I've done a lot of rentals and this has been my favorite.  We rented her lovely place for a bachelorette weekend for 9 girls and it was perfect.  The decor is adorable...so much that it gave many of the girls ideas of how to decorate their own place.  You can tell they've spent a lot of time making the place look nice.  For 9 people, the place felt very spacious.  It was very close to all the main attractions but far enough away from all the noise.  Jennifer was very quick to respond to any questions I had before our arrival.  She gave us a very thorough tour of the place when we arrived and of the surrounding area. She was very sweet and had breakfast/snacks in the kitchen for us.  She even bought a cake for the bride to be in her wedding colors. Jennifer definitely went above and beyond and it was very much appreciated.  If you're going to Austin, this is the perfect place to stay."
320574,1002047,2012-03-15,1196748,Jason,Claire was a great host!  The location was perfect.  Just a couple blocks from E. 6th dive bars and food trailers and a short bike ride to downtown.  
320574,3785224,2013-03-14,3108322,David,"Claire was the perfect host!  Super friendly and helpful - she was even kind enough to lend me her bike to get around (which was a godsend during SXSW).

The room was immaculate and comfortable.  I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Highly recommended!  I will definitely stay with Claire on my next visit to amazing Austin.




"
320574,13441964,2014-05-27,15419578,Teri,"Claire was great!  She oriented us to the neighborhood, gave us maps and guides to Austin, and offered the use of her bicycles.  The room was nice with its own bathroom and an entrance that allowed us to enter and exit (hopefully) without too much bother to Claire.  The neighborhood has great food, from trucks to very upscale restaurants, and many opportunities for imbibing adult beverages if that's your thing.  The home is definitely within walking distance to the downtown area, but depending on the weather, you may want to take Claire up on her offer to use the bicycles if you haven't rented a car."
320574,14383027,2014-06-17,2255832,Noelle,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
320574,20863572,2014-10-06,14269934,Melissa,"Claire's place was super nice and clean. We didn't have any problems with the place. Bed was comfy and Claire had bottled water for us which was nice! we had a very comfortable experience. The only disappointment was that the checkout time was not flexible. We had a flight at 4, and wanted to leave our stuff at the place until 2 so we could make the most of our last day in Austin. We were not allowed to simply leave our luggage at the house which was pretty frustrating as we ended up hauling it all over town with us. Lastly, the location is very nice and close to east Austin, but you want to be sure to have transportation plans because we weren't really able to walk to any of the attractions we wanted to see. However , overall we had a great experience and Claire's place was very nice! "
320574,21329736,2014-10-14,7162474,Gemma,"We loved Claire's house! Claire really helped us out when we had an awful experience at a nearby airbnb and needed to find a new place to stay with very little notice: she was really responsive and kindly welcomed us in the morning so we could shower! The room was perfect, really comfy bed, great shower and lots of privacy - we had the downstairs of our house to ourselves. This is also a great neighbourhood close to lots of fun bars and restaurants. Thank you so much Claire for rescuing us - we'll definitely be back in touch when we next visit Austin!"
320574,21617633,2014-10-20,22091900,Mark,"Claire was a phenomenal host and the house is very cool and comfortable. My wife and I were only there one night, but it was exactly what we were looking for. Claire is great! Highly recommend her."
320574,21693956,2014-10-21,2699094,Elyse,"Claire was fairly flexible about my arrival and check out time, which I appreciated. She was a fairly hands-off host, and allowed me to have privacy once I arrived. The guest has the spare bedroom, which is on the entry level of the home. Claire lives upstairs, where the kitchen is. I was able to make dinner and breakfast for myself in the kitchen. The house is about a mile from the main drag of E 6th. "
320574,22030921,2014-10-28,21971424,Mark,"Claire was a great host. I arrived early evening and had to meet friends downtown. Claire drove me to my destination, and pointed out places worthy of a visit en-route.
The room/house was perfect for my two night stay.
The location is quiet, but close enough to downtown area.
I hired at cycle for one day, the stand is nearby. 
"
320574,22600032,2014-11-10,21185895,Alexander,Claire was very accommodating to us when we stayed with her. We arrived a couple hours later than originally planned and she was very patient. The room was just as advertised. Nice and clean in a quiet area but really close to downtown so everything was very accessible. I would definitely recommend staying here!
320574,26653731,2015-02-16,2839066,Katherine,My boyfriend and I really enjoyed staying in Claire's condo. The location was great. We were minutes from everything and conveniently located close to I-35 when we had to drive west and north of Austin. There were lots of bars and restaurants we could walk to as well. We would definitely stay here again. 
320574,28172174,2015-03-19,104311,Daniel,"Excellent experience.  Super private and convenient.  Bicycle rental, coffee shop, supermarket and a famous BBQ place are all within a couple blocks away.  Easy access to downtown by bike or cheap car ride.  Claire is very polite, easy to reach and responds right away. Highly recommended."
320574,41978448,2015-08-10,13077592,Dan,Very accommodating and quick to respond.  The place was well decorated and very welcoming.  It totally makes sense to stay at a place like this when you're out exploring Austin and don't want to spend a ton of money on a hotel downtown like the W or the Westin.
320574,51500137,2015-10-20,3629774,Ivy,Claire is an awesome host. Gave us some very useful tips. The room is cozy and neat. Interesting neighborhood and Great location. 
6865788,42866753,2015-08-16,8392358,Laura Hodges,Amy is awesome! She was accomadating and available if I needed anything. The location is extremely close to everything Austin! 
6865788,49003530,2015-09-30,7946635,Meta,"We enjoyed our week stay at Amy's. She greeted us with an intro of the place and was super helpful when we realized there was no internet (which was clearly advertised and we missed! I'm told she's getting internet now though). She went above her ""duty"" to make sure we had internet while there. Her apartment is a quirky cute place. Very homey feeling. It's an older apartment but clean and comfortable. I think it's a great value and good location for an Austin stay."
6865788,49881124,2015-10-07,413694,David,Little Digs is spacious and artistically decorated. It's centrally located with easy access to U.T. or downtown. Amy was a gracious and helpful host who remained in good contact.   
6865788,50618297,2015-10-13,36450303,Elizabeth,The listing description was accurate and Amy made us feel very welcome in her home! 
6865788,51650895,2015-10-22,46086339,Anthony,Amy was great very nice and was always helpful. We would stay there again.
7839013,46252533,2015-09-08,7043763,JayJay,"Our stay was incredible. We loved our host, she was so adorable. The room had an incredible view. We took care of her place and she made sure she took care of us. I would definitely stay there again. (:"
7839013,47738396,2015-09-21,39876068,Greg,"My wife and I had a wonderful weekend in Austin.  The Downtown Luxury High Rise is located in a great part of the city.  Close to restaurants, nightlife, the Capital, and the University.  We walked just about everywhere.  The view is outstanding and the bed is extremely comfortable.  I would recommend that anyone coming to Austin check out this listing.  "
7839013,48339123,2015-09-25,4339764,Kelly,The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7839013,50470591,2015-10-12,42853295,Ahmad,Staying at this apartment had been a great experience. The host is very kind and would go out of her way to make the stay as comfortable as possible. This apartment also has a beautiful view and is walking distance from almost everything downtown Austin has to offer. 
7839013,51290945,2015-10-19,11137587,Codie,Our host was exceptional. We arrived late in the night and she had no problem meeting us at such an hour. The apartment had beautiful views of downtown Austin and was in walking distance to everything. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. She gave us great recommendations for food and drinks. We departed well after check out time and she was kind enough to allow us to use her place and shower before our flight home. Everything was effortless and I would easily stay here again the next time we visit. Great experience overall!
7839013,51854080,2015-10-24,46947024,Ashley,"Nice neighborhood, very walkable. Beautiful view and furniture."

2916288,13119268,2014-05-19,695021,Casey,"Mark's place is an excellent spot for experiencing Austin.  Just steps from coffee, groceries, a great old-fashioned pharmacy, and very quiet despite being so close to everything.  The house itself is very comfortable, well-decorated, and has a great backyard.  I'd highly recommend staying here!"
2916288,14648719,2014-06-23,967155,Debra,"Mark's house was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 children) with comfy beds for everyone and plenty of room and amenities.  (The photos as accurate- house gets lovely light.). The location is perfect for Austin with proximity to MoPac (1), Exposition, just around the corner is a deli, grocery store, gas station, and Casis Elementary has a fantastic playground.  Reed Park is also nearby with a free, small municipal pool and playground too.  The house was immaculate, comfortable, and we lacked for nothing.

Mark is a wonderful communicator and any note was replied to very quickly.  We greatly appreciate his sharing his lovely home and trusting us to take good care of it (we did!).  I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to Austin.  We will happily stay there again."

2916288,23368527,2014-11-30,967155,Debra,"We just enjoyed another wonderful stay at Mark's house- second time for us.  The home is immaculate and extremely well located for all the things we enjoy doing in Austin.  The beds are comfy, towels plush, and the kitchen is fully equipped.  You lack for nothing!  For anyone with children, there is an elementary school (Casis) on the corner with a fabulous playground and field (enter on Westover). Just around the corner is a large grocery store, pharmacy, Starbucks, deli, and a few other shops as well- no car necessary.

Mark is a wonderful communicator, and his response time is lightening fast.  We would recommend his home to anyone visiting Austin!  You will have a great experience."
2916288,23742547,2014-12-09,2014545,Cassandra,"Great location!  Very comfortable house with everything you could need and a store right around the corner.  We lived in Austin for years but never spent much time in this part of town.  The house was well equipped.  We didn't cook while here, but if we had the kitchen appeared to be fully stocked.  There is a school right around the corner with a nice playground and we went to the open space about a mile away to hike.  Enjoyed our stay!"
2916288,29884054,2015-04-13,10129180,Anu,"The house is really nice and in a beautiful neighborhood. We really enjoyed our stay. The house has tons of light, lots of space and a beautiful backyard. Take some time to sit out back and relax. The master suite is gorgeous. You can just walk to the Starbucks around the corner for coffee.

It took a few days, 2 expired requests, for Mark to confirm, but other than that we had a good time. Just a small note is that the 3rd bedroom has a single bed, in case you miss it in the photos."
1080879,4262051,2013-04-22,5893771,John,"Doug provided a comfortable experience for my Austin weekend.  The room was large.  I slept very well on the firm, queen size bed.  The bathroom was spotless.  Linens were nice.  Parking was safe for both my motorcycle(driveway) & car w/ trailer(street).  Overall Doug's townhouse had the amenities of a 4 star hotel.  Also, Doug handled everything in a timely and friendly manner.
The SoLa areas is quiet and convenient to downtown.  You can catch a bus at the street corner.  Many restaurants are walking distance.  Nightlife is a short taxi ride away.
I would not hesitate to book again.
"
1080879,6917674,2013-08-30,5120179,Todd,"Beautiful home, perfect location and a great host.  The rooftop view of downtown is incredible and every part of my stay was great.  Thanks Doug, your house is awesome!"
1080879,7075494,2013-09-05,8206037,John,"Wow!  What a perfect experience.  This townhome is immaculate, smartly furnished, spacious, comfortable and secure.  The host was not present for our stay but it is obvious the attention to detail that is given to providing comfortable, well appointed accommodations.

Only minutes from downtown by automobile or bicycle and close to bus routes.  The rooftop deck provides an amazing view of the skyline.

Given the quality of accommodations and superb location, the rate is a bargain.  HIghest rating!

"
1080879,10220536,2014-02-07,11423056,Alex,"Doug was a fantastic host for me when I stayed about 10 days at his condo. From the beginning, he was responsive and helpful with working out the logistics. The home is remarkable - a modern, upscale residence that I really enjoyed staying in. 

The bedroom and bathroom were spotless and very comfortable. The kitchen and laundry room were great as well.

I felt like I was in a high end boutique hotel while at the same time relaxed and comfortable thanks to Doug's friendly and easy going nature.

I've already booked a couple of future stays when I come back to town. Thanks a lot Doug!!"
1080879,10287342,2014-02-10,4390061,Benjamin,Awesome location. Cool condo. Fun host. Doug rocks and I'd totally stay at here again!
1080879,11044011,2014-03-18,2164174,Francesca,"I had a great stay at Doug's place in SoLa. Doug is super friendly and organised, and the house is extremely well presented and comfortable to stay in.

Doug was kind enough to offer me a reasonably priced deal for my stay during the SXSW festival (which is a very pricey time to be staying in Austin) and I was glad I had the opportunity to stay in his townhouse. This place is nicer than a hotel, and much more homely. 

In terms of location, the SoLa area has some neat little shops and eateries, and it's easy enough to get a bus downtown. However if you plan to go anywhere other than the CBD of Austin, I recommend hiring a car...the public transport in Austin isn't the greatest and if you're there during a busy time of year, taxis aren't the easiest to get ahold of. But parking looks like it would be a breeze around where Doug lives.

Thanks Doug for letting me stay and hope to see you sometime in New Zealand soon!"
1080879,11717530,2014-04-13,13128991,Brendan,"Just back last night from my stay in Austin and I miss it already! 

Doug's place was perfect during my vacation. The rooms are hotel quality with a clean minimalist design complimented by Doug's hospitality. It never felt awkward going in and out of the place or to share the space with the other guests. There is a cool spiral staircase that leads to a rooftop deck that I would recommend spending time on to start off your day. It is very secure here and there was even parking for my scooter inside the gated access. 

Go ahead and book this space already and tell Doug I say hello!"
1080879,11930587,2014-04-19,11423056,Alex,Another great stay at the condo. Thanks for everything Doug.
1080879,12406770,2014-05-01,188479,Gisele,"What an ABSOLUTELY Awesome time I had! Staying with Doug made my first visit to Austin SPECIAL!!!
There is a direct bus line to downtown a half block away and a local bus line to South Congress at the corner. If you decide to drive it is easy from this location.
What you see here is exactly what you will see when you arrive. Doug is a great host and knowledgeable about Austin. Staying here was peaceful and relaxed...
As we say back east...""A Grown Folk""...place to stay!
THANK YOU!...for a wonderful send off and I look forward to getting back to visit with you soon. WE have to experience the Carrot Cake French Toast...;-)))"
1080879,12751848,2014-05-10,11423056,Alex,I almost didn't see Doug all week but the place was still in impeccable shape and I had yet another comfortable stay.
1080879,13121400,2014-05-19,755170,Daylon,Doug's place is immaculately appointed and a mid-century enthusiast's dream. He's super nice and everything was even better than the gorgeous pictures show. Would highly recommend anyone coming to Austin to look him up!
1080879,13587810,2014-05-31,9016971,Trent,"What can I say? This is airbnb at it's very best!! Fantastic location in South Lamar, a truly beautiful home, and a wonderful host. Thanks so much for everything Doug. I hope I get a chance to stay with you again soon. Very highly recommended. A++++++++"
1080879,13987449,2014-06-09,13665386,Tom,"My stay at Doug's was perfect.  The design of the house and furnishings were even better than the pictures.  Doug was friendly, easy going and very helpful.  I would definitely stay again. "
1080879,14788518,2014-06-26,11423056,Alex,"Fantastic host! Doug keeps adding more cool features to the condo, too."
1080879,15971415,2014-07-19,11423056,Alex,Can't believe it's been close to 10 stays now at Doug's. Fantastic host!
1080879,17118585,2014-08-07,17198616,Jeff,"Doug was great to work with. His place was absolutely perfectly designed and clean with everything in it's place. The gated housing area was a nice perk to feel like everything was safe with the car parking. Being able to use the dryer quick to get some travel wrinkles out of clothes was a big help. Location is pretty well located as you can be down the street to a bunch of food trucks (the best part I found of Austin ha) as well as the large park with the pool and what not was pretty close by. I would recommend staying with Doug when you are in town, and you can't beat the price at all. Oh and nice AC definite perk on the hot days! And I should mention a very comfortable bed."
1080879,17598167,2014-08-14,13665386,Tom,5-stars!  Highly recommended.
1080879,18371398,2014-08-25,19194802,Christine,"What a great stay!!!  Doug was extremely nice!!  Beautiful home to invite us into, thank you!!  It was our very first time using AirBnB and we had a great first experience. I hope that Doug's beautiful home will be available the next time we plan our trip to Austin!!  "
1080879,19711085,2014-09-16,20666841,Dani,"The house is absolutely stunning and exactly as pictures (if not even cooler). Doug was an excellent host who is super friendly and has everything you could possibly need at the ready. 

If you're visiting Austin, you really can't go wrong staying here!"
1080879,20189053,2014-09-25,11423056,Alex,I've stayed at Doug's condo over a dozen times now for business travel and have always been very happy. This trip was no different. There was another couple renting a separate room and it was still very comfortable and convenient.
1080879,20390867,2014-09-28,21641661,Shelby,"Had a very nice experience in Doug's town home. VERY CLEAN, Doug was very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Great location. Easy parking. Very safe. "
1080879,21690425,2014-10-21,10566561,Randy,"Very gracious and friendly host.
Town home exactly as advertised and perfect location.
Unbelievable nice place and stay!"
1080879,22303762,2014-11-03,20186769,Rose,"Doug was an amazing host, he's incredibly laid back and easy to get along with. His house is gorgeous, and immaculate! Plenty of space to relax and soak up the Austin sun. All the added extras were a treat, I felt like I was staying at a rather fancy hotel. If I'm ever back in Austin and in need of an Air BnB I will come see Doug. "
1080879,23535937,2014-12-03,11423056,Alex,Always a great experience staying at Doug's. My business travel is made so much simpler and comfortable thanks to his Airbnb gem. Thanks again!
1080879,23763269,2014-12-09,11423056,Alex,Thank you Doug for another comfortable stay at your beautiful condo! It was just what I needed for a really busy business travel week. Thanks again for everything.
1080879,23984597,2014-12-15,10693057,Dilan,"Where do I even start! I booked fairly last minute and Doug was very prompt. Prior to my arrival, I was provided the necessary instructions to make my check in process a breeze. Once I arrived to the house, I was greeted with a friendly host who went above and beyond. The space itself felt like a high-end hotel with a very comfortable bedroom and immaculately clean bathroom. If, no rather when I'm back in Austin I will definitely be coming back!"
1080879,25244382,2015-01-10,11423056,Alex,Doug once again made my stay in Austin a comfortable one. There's no better place to stay!
1080879,25970290,2015-01-31,11423056,Alex,Another stay at Doug's condo and another terrific experience. The best kind of host you could ask for.
1080879,26868672,2015-02-21,11423056,Alex,I stayed for a longer than expected period of time for work which was made so much easier by staying at Doug's condo. As always he is the perfect host and very accommodating. Would absolutely refer him to anyone needing a place to stay in South Austin.
1080879,27360475,2015-03-02,6203215,Mandi,"I really enjoyed my stay here and the whole experience from booking to leaving was seamless. The place is really nice, well located, and Doug is a great host. I arrived and was impressed with how clean and prepared everything was - I felt like I was staying at a hotel. There's a lot within walking distance too. Doug even gave me a recommendation for music venue just two blocks away and it ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. I'd definitely stay here again. "
1080879,28160127,2015-03-19,6533163,Thorsten,I stayed with many airbnb's but this one was by far the best. The pictures here on airbnb are more like an understatement - the entire home looked like it was designed by an interior designer and every piece just fit to the other one. Doug himself was the perfect host. Always responsive and very helpful when it came to discovering the neighbourhood. Whenever I needed something he was there to address my needs. All in all I had a great time in Doug's home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. 
1080879,28514489,2015-03-25,9542007,Mark,"Doug was an amazing host! Not only was he very friendly and helpful in all things Austin, but his home is amazing and welcoming as well. He was nice enough to share his two bikes with us and give tips on things to do and places to see. If you want to relax under the sun on the rooftop patio or party downtown in a short Uber, his house is a great place to crash! "
1080879,30079558,2015-04-17,20793399,Matt,Couldn't have asked for a better AirBnB experience! Doug is extremely accommodating & his house is immaculately appointed. Thanks Doug!   
1080879,34087392,2015-06-04,9487344,Mariah,"Stay with Doug and Rob! It's perfect for visiting Austin. The house is lovely and pristinely clean; the bedroom was quiet and very comfortable, and the outdoor space is great. They're both so nice and helpful on suggestions for what to see and do. South Austin is the place to be, too: great location with easy access to awesome restaurants and food trucks, music and cafes, shops and the great green spaces. I didn't have a car and didn't need it. Walking distance to so much and good bus lines nearby, as well as cabs and uber. I will certainly stay again and I can't recommend it more. Awesome."
1080879,34709945,2015-06-11,32098243,Aurora,"Doug and his place were both lovely. I was in town visiting family and as such wasn't 'home' much. But when I was, I couldn't have asked for more. He is very generous with several thoughtful touches throughout. (I particularly loved the fresh flowers in every room.) Location was ideal. Would absolutely stay here again next time in Austin. "
1080879,42936976,2015-08-16,6782147,Phoebe,"Staying in Doug's place was an amazing and wonderful experience. Doug was so welcoming and kind. His house was beautiful and very well organized. The room, the bed, the bathroom- everything was perfect! He kindly offered tips about the city and was a wonderful person to get to know. The house is also located in an ideal location! Doug's place and his hospitality are prime examples of how wonderful and smooth an AirBnB experience can be! We would definitely stay with Doug again. "
1080879,43912761,2015-08-23,32512484,Rhona,"Doug was there when I arrived, made me feel incredibly welcomed. The accommodations were beautiful. I had my privacy and so did they.  Everything in this unit is top notch. Doug's background as an architect really shows. No detail was overlooked I felt incredibly well cared for"
1080879,48791117,2015-09-28,5419127,Pelle,"Very nice time at Dougs place. Clean, welcoming and helpfull. Close to the center of Austin."
1080879,49601924,2015-10-05,36439324,Alexis,What attracted us to this house was the location to Zilker park. It was the PERFECT location we walked each day to and from ACL to walk to and from ACL. Doug and Rob were great hosts and very accommodating. We loved the feel and design of the house. Very new and great view of Austin skyline. 
1080879,51296947,2015-10-19,43045460,Brian,Doug and Rob were very warm and cordial hosts. I enjoyed my short stay with them. The room was very comfortable and it was easy to come and go from their place via the bus to attend my conference in town. 
1080879,52225255,2015-10-27,8925692,Ty,"Such an exceptional place to stay!  Doug was very welcoming and such a wonderful host.  I had great communication with Doug before my stay and all instructions to enter the home were clear and sent in advance.   The home is very clean and stunning from the inside, I honestly have not seen homes so nice before.  I would definitely stay here again when I visit Austin again.  "
1080879,52915379,2015-11-02,352009,Sue,"This home is a great place to relax and also easy to get to downtown.  I took Lyft which picked me up less than two minutes after I reserved it in both directions and cost about $7.00.   The bed was comfortable, the home quiet, quality accommodations, and I appreciated being able to do some laundry.  Would stay again in a heartbeat."
3021495,17184885,2014-08-08,15271033,Jennifer,"I was very disappointed with the location of the house. The house pictures are very accurate... It is definitely a beautiful home. But the neighborhood leaves lots to be desired. We met Natasha at the house for check in to receive the keys. This was a very awkward transition. She was very rude when she saw that we had a very small dog (9pounds). We travel everywhere with our dog as she is very much a part of our family. In fact, I always put ""pet friendly"" in the filters. I told Natasha this & she practically accused me of lying. I'm more than willing to pay a $50 charge to be able to bring my dog along. When she got home.. She did send an apology text when she realized that she had Airbnb confused with Home Away. At that point... The tone had already been set. Also... When we asked her what she recommended in the area... She had no suggestions. Which I thought was odd. We also sent her a text asking if there was a remote for the tv. There wasn't. We travel a lot & in our experience with Airbnb this is the only bad review I have ever written. It saddens me to say... I would not recommend this house to friends or family... Despite the beautiful home due to the location & poor customer service."
3021495,33352892,2015-05-27,26440672,Melissa,"The neighborhood was interesting since there were many $450,000 houses next door to trailers, but overall we never felt unsafe and everyone we saw was very friendly.

Overall this was a comfortable place to stay. The house is beautiful, but it does need some minor repairs and updates (a couple kitchen cabinets needed hinge repair, downstairs furniture layout was awkward, a couch cushion was missing, stools are too high for table, gate was broken so parking cars was awkward, ran out of hand soap in the upstairs bathroom). 

We were in Austin for a wedding during the massive rainstorms and flooding and the house felt rock solid. It was a nice place to stay with family and friends and was convenient to downtown (we spent most our rain-soaked time there at Whole Foods). With some minor fixes this place would be wonderful.
"
3021495,42502759,2015-08-13,23202155,Josh,The host canceled this reservation 50 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3021495,44411233,2015-08-26,15223420,Erik,"When we arrived at the house, Natasha was still cleaning, although we had agreed on a time that we would be arriving (7pm), and we initially had trouble getting in touch with her, but was very friendly. The house was very spacious, somewhat clean, and a perfect home base for our family vacation--about 15 minutes to anything.  Natasha was thoughtful and offered us beer that previous people had left, and we tried to pay it forward as well.  

We stayed for a week, and felt very at home, but the house did feel very lived in. Water pressure issues in the kitchen, doors that stuck when opened, some cosmetic damage, and an INSANE rooster next door with complimentary 5:45-7:00am mandatory wake up calls...ear plugs were necessary.  

Overall, it worked for us, but may not be for everyone at the current price point, or those not looking for an east Austin neighborhood experience (a little grittier), but we did feel safe. We would definitely stay again!"
6349209,32295735,2015-05-16,33129454,Scottie,"Great, welcoming hosts. Accomodating, informative, kind and generous. Comfortable bed and clean environment. Great location. Would recommend to anyone."
6349209,32663510,2015-05-19,9491612,Marc,"Great host! Quiet and clean home, very welcoming. "
6349209,32736356,2015-05-20,2045404,Alasdair,Jonathan and Rhonda are great hosts and took the time to have a conversation with me both on arrival and early the next morning. It's clear they like to look after their guests and have a lovely cosy room. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby too. Thanks for a great stay!
6349209,33478573,2015-05-28,9027708,Luke,Both Rhonda and Jonathan are super pleasant and the room is very nice. I would recommend this location to others.
6349209,33947776,2015-06-02,33454432,Sarah,"Awesome place to stay and great hosts! Short walk to bus stop and close ride to UT, downtown, and south congress"
6349209,34111475,2015-06-04,4180514,Nichole,"Great area, lots of restaurants, close to everything.  We had a great time on our short stay and we were very comfortable!"
6349209,34149171,2015-06-05,33290428,Dave,"Rhonda and Jon were wonderful hosts, and their home was very inviting, it was exactly what I was looking for. Great location! When I return to Austin, my first check for room availability will be with them. Thanks!"
6349209,34266427,2015-06-06,3799053,Yve,"We made a last minute reservation, the day of, and Rhonda was extremely kind and accommodating. She had the room ready for us when we got in late that night and check in was very easy without having to bother them. The room was simple, but just what we needed. Recommended. "
6349209,34386780,2015-06-07,22661457,Anurodh,The hosts were friendly. The neighborhood is peaceful and is located close to most of the attractions in downtown and near UT austin which is very convenient!
6349209,35007059,2015-06-14,21529992,Mathias,Rhonda and Jonathan were very nice hosts and made sure that our stay was perfect. The room was exactly as described and the bed was very nice. Breakfast was provided which was very convenient. They took very good care of me and my girlfriend when we stayed there. They were very pleasant to talk to and would happily give us advice on where to go in the neighborhood. The location was very good as well as it is right next to a bus which will take you downtown. I would definitely recommend people to stay here if they go to Austin! Great hosts!
6349209,35717141,2015-06-21,34763787,Andrea,Great place. It was very hospitable and accessable. Would definately recommend staying here. 
6349209,36209142,2015-06-26,34175431,Christopher,"Everything was great. Rhonda and Jonathan were completely welcoming, offering food, coffee, etc...there place is clean and I would definitely stay again when in the area. The location is fabulous. It seems to be right in the middle of everything. "
6349209,36354718,2015-06-27,30150716,Nash,Rhonda and Jonathan were excellent hosts. They hosted us on short notice. The location was next to some awesome restaurants and had easy access to UT. 
6349209,36611767,2015-06-29,36064592,Carolyn,"Rhonda and Jonathon were great! We got in late and we were busy when we were in town, so we didn't actually get to meet Rhonda, but we did get to talk to Jonathon our last day there. The neighborhood is a great, safe location. They had towels waiting for us in our room. We were excited to see that they both recycle and compost! They had everything we needed and the complimentary continental breakfast made our stay that much better!"
6349209,36752620,2015-06-30,30950993,Ryan,"There is only one thing to say about Jonathan and rhonda, superhost. Rhonda made sure that I had everything I needed before arriving like where to park, and all the codes just in case they were not home. They took my reservation on short, had amazing recommendations near their place that is walking distance to a bunch of what Austin has to offer. Great stay, great hosts, would recommend to anybody."
6349209,36847392,2015-07-01,20741620,Rachel,Rhonda and John were friendly and helpful when we arrived in Austin. They had already provided us with lots of information about the house so we were able to enter and find our room. The room was clean and comfortable. East Austin was a great location close to some restaurants and bars as well as only a $5-6 uber trip to downtown.  Would definitely recommend.
6349209,37256810,2015-07-05,415737,Leah,"This home was wonderful! The location was perfectly situated among local restaurants and cute shops. It took less than 10 minutes to drive downtown which was perfect! Close enough to the city but far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful - super friendly, talkative and made us feel right at home. Check in and check out was simple. Breakfast was ideal (Rhonda even made me her delicious green smoothie!). I wouldn't change anything about this trip. Thank you for having us! "
6349209,41214228,2015-08-05,35327220,Cristina,"This was my first AirBNB experience, and Rhonda and Jonathan were great hosts. They provided a 'continental' breakfast of fruit, cereal and toast if guests wanted something quick and easy to eat in the morning. They also were helpful in providing any tips on the local area when I asked. Their location is also awesome. There's a bunch of great cafes and restaurants within walking distance. I even walked to the LBJ Presidential Library. However, if you're looking to head downtown to 6th street or South Congress, it's an easy uber ride there. Nothing but good things to say. :)"
6349209,42532990,2015-08-14,19810595,Julie,Rhonda and Jon are extraordinary people and great hosts!
6349209,43832124,2015-08-22,16922069,Veronica,"I checked in at the middle of the day, neither hosts were there but it was not a problem because the instructions were clear! I went to eat and came back, met Rhonda and chilled out in the room. The house was cute and neat, and check out the next day was very easy! "
6349209,44671416,2015-08-28,34222663,Angelo,"Rhonda and John were great host! They were accommodating and gave me a lot of information about Austin and the local neighborhood when I arrived as well as throughout my stay. They are a friendly couple who are really just awesome folks! 

Their place is well located in Austin, just a 20-25 minute walk to UT and about 40-50 minutes walk to the heart of downtown. Manor St. was just a skip and a hop away from their house which had a lot of great places to eat and chill. There's a really nice coffee shop and one of the best taco/burrito stand. 

If you are using the city bus from the airport, take the last stop on the UT campus and you can easily walk to their place within 20 minutes. 

This is a great place to stay if you are traveling alone in Austin and you have work, business or just want to explore the city. "
6349209,44971262,2015-08-30,37246578,Wendy,"Friendly, accomodating, easy to get to know - all are great characteristics for an air bnb hosts, and Rhonda and Jonathan fit the bill. Rhonda and Jonathan were open and welcoming. Their house is cozy and neat. I would stay with them again, I would recommend them to other travelers to Austin."
6349209,45580337,2015-09-04,10860046,Jessica,"Rhonda and Jonathan were great hosts--friendly and helpful. The bedroom was very clean and comfortable. While I found the size of the house quite suitable, it may be a bit of a tight squeeze for more than one guest at a time (unless guests plan on spending most of their time out and about). Which leads me to my next point . . . 

RE: location: Excellent. There are lots of happenin'-looking / hipstery spots to eat within walking distance including a good coffeeshop for studying. I had been in town for business and did not check out any restaurants, but guests should! Thanks to my hosts I was able to use the kitchen frequently, which was very convenient. "
6349209,46699688,2015-09-13,9633128,Costa,I had a really great stay with Rhonda and Jonathan. They were both very friendly and helpful. The house is nice and quiet and located in a good area. Highly recommended! 
6349209,47235982,2015-09-16,36236490,Alexander,"A group 3 of us needed a last minute place to stay in Austin during the week for a couple nights of sightseeing, and Rhonda was able to accommodate our late check in wonderfully after we went to see the bats on Congress.  We were able to come and go as we pleased as long as we kept the noise down which was not difficult.  Rhonda and her husband had provided us with some oatmeal, peanut butter, jelly, bread, and fruit for breakfast as well.  We were also able to put some leftovers from our meals out in the the refrigerator.  Cleanup was easy as any dirty dishes went in the dishwasher.  In addition, we were able to rent some bikes with lights and locks to pedal around the area for 5 dollars each plus fees on Spinlister.  Even though this particular listing does not include parking in the driveway, there is street parking that was easy to find.  The water pressure is a bit weak in shower and there are a few stains on the grout, but it is an older house so these issues are not unexpected.  We were still able to get clean.  Towels were provided, but bring your own shampoo, soap, and conditioner. This is a great place for anyone who would like a nice quiet and safe place to stay that is close to downtown, UT Austin, and some bars and restaurants.  Rhonda and her husband was also able to give us some recommendations on Sugar Mama's Bakeshop where we bought cupcakes to enjoy.  Overall, were were pleased that we were able to find a place last minute to that was close to downtown, the capital, and UT Austin in a quiet and safe neighborhood and would return if we needed to stay again."
6349209,47678063,2015-09-21,17356839,Kawika,"Awesome place to stay. If you're a mellower person, like me, this is perfect because your a quick drive to most attractions but just outside of the busy areas that it's nice and quiet. Rhonda and Jonathan were really friendly. The room was nice and big and tidy. "
6349209,48473783,2015-09-26,13435174,Toby,Lovely room in a very nice house. Rhonda was very helpful. Personally I consider it walking distance to downtown. Very nice bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Would definitely recommend staying here!
6349209,48538077,2015-09-27,41194211,Denicia,Room was clean and comfortable and within a reasonable walking distance to UT.  Many great small places to eat close to the room.  Host was quick in replying to initial request and providing appropriate information for stay.  Neighborhood was quiet and nice. The only things which were bothersome was the ring of mold around the edge of the tub when taking a shower and the plugs within the private room were recessed into the wall so that we could not plug our cell phone chargers in and make a connection.  Would recommend a stay here to others. 
6349209,48888137,2015-09-29,37634680,Midge,"Beautiful house, great area and Rhonda and Jonathan were more than helpful with recommendations "
6349209,49222389,2015-10-02,25557395,Rachel,"We loved this airbnb! It's an awesome location close to a lot of cool places. Rhonda was so nice and a great, welcome host. She made it very enjoyable! We would definitely stay with them again!"
6349209,49588208,2015-10-05,13079281,Tatiana,"Rhonda was very attentive and accommodating. Had a great time at her place. The room is clean, organize and has everything that you need (clean towels and sheets). 
I would highly recommend staying with Rhonda. "
6349209,49963446,2015-10-07,45826668,Myi,Super comfy home with great hosts. Rhonda was very kind and bubbly. The room was cute and well put together. It was as if we were staying at a friends. When I am ever in Austin this is where I would love to stay.
6349209,50690777,2015-10-13,1208066,Shell,"Rhonda and Jonathon gave us all the necessary info prior to arrival, a quick tour when we arrived, then made us feel comfortable coming and going as we pleased. We liked the combo set up for the front door and the option to lock our room, although we didn't really feel we needed to do so. The location was perfectly situated to what we planned to do in the area, and we loved that we were close to restaurants etc. and walking distance to University. What you see is what you get with this listing... inexpensive, basic, well located."
6349209,50958994,2015-10-16,1208066,Shell,"We stayed at Rhonda's on two separate nights during the same week. My previously written review covers both visits. What you see is what you get... inexpensive, basic, great location. This was a perfect place to sleep and shower while busy visiting family in Austin."
6349209,51401892,2015-10-19,46536042,Kobi,Jonathan and Ronda were very attentive. Neighborhood was quiet and close to the city.
6349209,51523700,2015-10-21,10827141,Anna,"Rhonda and Jonathan are absolutely fantastic hosts! Kind and generous people. Their place is very close to the city centre, the room is big, spotless, and cute. The wifi worked perfectly. Thank you both!"
6349209,52055347,2015-10-26,41003855,Stephanie,Loved our stay! Rhonda and Jonathan were great hosts and wonderful to talk to. They even include breakfast and the dryer came in handy after some unexpected rain.
6349209,52683414,2015-11-01,41458140,Charlie,"Rhonda and Jonathan were exceptionally accommodating, especially after our flight was delayed due to weather and we ended up getting to their place very late at night. The room was clean and tidy and they were both very gracious hosts! With a very hectic weekend scheduled it was great to know that our room was taken care of and safe. We had a great time!"
6349209,53190753,2015-11-06,36140128,Liz,"Rhonda and jonathan were flexible, generous, and kind. Their place Is clean, the bed is comfortable and great AC! We really appreciated all that they did for us to make our stay so pleasant. "

4283118,28456607,2015-03-23,29704190,Kelly,"Dana totally saved me and my boyfriend when we were looking for a last minute place to stay in Austin for SXSW. We sent in our request that afternoon and Dana got back to us within a couple of hours. She has an amazing space in a nice, quiet neighborhood and had everything we needed laid out for us (towels, wi-fi info, etc.) It was better than a hotel stay-- and cheaper! We had plenty of privacy on our end of the house and our own bathroom. We were gone most of the day at the festival and got in pretty late, but Dana was very welcoming and ready to help us with anything we needed to know about getting around Austin. We drove down from Chicago so we had our car and it was a quick drive into the city for the festival. There were a lot of things that didn't go as planned on this vacay, but knowing we had a room at Dana's was the best part of our trip. This was also our first AirBnB stay-- So thank you Dana for a great first experience! It'll be hard to top! When we come back to Austin we definitely hope we can stay with you again."
4283118,32635451,2015-05-19,33137745,Lee,Dana was very welcoming and accommodating especially since our schedule was not set until the day of arrival.   We had a restful night and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood.
4283118,33214067,2015-05-25,6591613,Olivia,We really enjoyed our stay at Dana's house. It is beautifully decorated in a southwest style and we enjoyed her sweet cats and dog. She answered our request last minute and was very gracious. Thank you!
4283118,46105707,2015-09-07,43411517,William,"Dana was so wonderful. She was very accommodating and just very sweet. If I'm ever back in town, I would love to stay with her again. Her dog has quite the personality when she warms up to you. Thanks for being such a good host!"
4283118,49828542,2015-10-06,42707447,Kaitlyn,"Dana has been an awesome host! This is my first airbnb experience, and she is extremely welcoming, knowledgable and kind. She definitely respects your privacy and space if you prefer it, but is also warm and welcoming if you are more social. Her dog, Gracie, was quite a treat, and so were her two cats. The room was exactly as described, and very comfortable and clean. I enjoyed my stay so much, I extended my stay for another 4 days, which Dana gladly accommodated despite my situation changing. I'd highly recommend staying with her and enjoying what South Austin has to offer. "
4283118,52374558,2015-10-28,47032486,Phil,"Thank you Dana. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was in a bind and with the help of Airbnb I found a great host, who afforded me privacy when I needed it, and interesting intellectual conversation when I was starved for someone to bounce ideas around with. Dana seems to be a skilled at almost every level. The amenities that she brushes over are wonderful. Yes the bath is newly renovated, but it bares mentioning it was done with a deep soak tub and Moen rain shower-head. If you would like to prepare your own meals, her kitchen has top quality everything, making cooking a joy. If i could have stayed longer I would have taken advantage of the artist easel, read from her great library or perhaps trained with her workout gear. Simply put it was the best money I have spent, ever, for a short term stay. Her pets were well behaved, I hardly noticed them, everything was clean, and Dana was as generous with her space as she was welcoming for my visit. Many people say they dont mind if you help yourself to their amenities, but few make you feel comfortable doing it. Dana rocks."
1673070,7537528,2013-09-23,8859673,Carrie,"All I can say is we had the best time and Chelsea made us feel so welcome.. We were a little worried since this was our first time using this site and it could not have gone better.. Talk about a great area and wonderful accomidations. The location was great for everything we needed (only 13 miles from Circuits of the America's & near some great Austin location's Barton Springs, Capitol and etc..) We have not just meet a host we have meet a friend and I would stay here every time we come to Austin. "
1673070,7785973,2013-10-02,9098446,Raquel,"Chelsea is a wonderful host. Accommodating and lay back, she is sweet, helpful and very welcoming. Not only did she take me and my pup under her wing for the time we spent in Austin, but she also dressed my pup's wounds when she got into a fight with a cat. She took the time out of her busy schedule to show me to a few cool spots, but also respected my need to explore Austin on my own. She keeps her house nice and tidy, and the neighborhood is quiet and safe. about a 15min drive to 5th street, but a bunch of cool restaurants and shops (pretty much everything you need) on the way there.Great gal, comfortable spot. I'm thinking of passing back though Austin just to say ""hi""."
1673070,8591453,2013-11-06,8655790,Romany,"Our stay with Chelsea was so easy and comfortable! She has a lovely home in a great part of Austin really close to a bus stop which can take you downtown, but we enjoyed being away from the city area and had everything we needed within walking distance. We loved Austin so much we extended our trip for a few more nights and she was so accommodating with our plans. Chelsea is a great host and really goes out of her way to make sure you have everything you need."
1673070,9168596,2013-12-10,696189,Cheryl,"I had a great visit with Chelsea. She has a lovely home and made me feel welcome right away. I really liked spending time with her and if I return to Austin, will definitely try to stay with her again. 
A great hostess and a perfect location, I definitely recommend Chelsea if you are visiting Austin."
1673070,9288491,2013-12-18,10123931,Monica,"I had a great stay with Chelsea. She has a lovely and super clean home in a quiet neighborhood that is located near many restaurants and bus routes that can take you downtown. Even though she was a little sick during my stay she went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed, and even took me on a nice hike. She is a great host and a terrific person. If you decide to visit Austin I highly suggest you stay with Chelsea!"
1673070,9617299,2014-01-03,370845,Robert,Staying with Chelsea was a very pleasant experience during my stay in Austin; I felt at home immediately. She knows Austin very well and can give you great insight on what the city has to offer. I would definitely use this accommodation upon my next visit to Austin.
1673070,10917442,2014-03-13,8611428,Chung,"I really enjoyed my stay here during SXSW.  Chelsea was such a sweet, and wonderful host, accommodating, and very helpful in giving tips about the places nearby. The place is so convenient with just a few minutes walk to the bus stop, groceries, or restaurants. I felt very much at home, and would not hesitate to recommend staying here while visiting Austin!"
1673070,16164107,2014-07-22,18042560,Graham,"Chelsea is an amazing host! I found her place because it was close to where I'd be working, and it couldn't have worked out better. Not only is her house full of charm and character, she's the best host you could as for. She is very sweet, helpful flexible, inviting, knowledgeable about the city, and above all a great person. I have enjoyed staying here and am sad to have to leave such great company and a terrific place to stay. "
1673070,17653301,2014-08-15,2972316,Rich,"Chelsea is a great host, friendly and communicative. The room is comfortable and there is plenty of room."
1673070,21161638,2014-10-12,21803469,Benjamin,"Chelsea was a wonderful host.  She made us feel right at home from the moment she greeted us at the door.  Her place is clean and comfortable, and she made sure we always had what we needed.  I would not hesitate to have her host again."
1673070,28028052,2015-03-16,1012137,Pat,"Chelsea was a wonderful host. I stayed at her place during SXSW. She was very nice, easy going, and helpful with where to go and how to get around Austin while I was in town. Her place was also super clean. I'd definitely recommend AirBnBing with her.  "
1673070,28856183,2015-03-30,12265424,Marco,"You know when you meet someone for the first time, but you feel like you have been friends for years? 

Well that's how Chelsea and I was. She was super welcoming, and the house/room was great! I had a great time staying with her for 3 days, and every single day was a freaking adventure. 

I am a huge fan of Airbnb because I could of stayed in a nice hotel room in Austin, but instead had an experience and made a friend that I think will be in my life for some time to come! "
1511053,8059306,2013-10-14,5808883,Clyde,"I had a great stay at Cody's this past weekend. Cody picked me up on arrival, helped me get acquainted with Austin, and made me feel at home in his apartment.

I look forward to seeing Cody again on my next visit to Austin.
"
1511053,8398886,2013-10-28,9475284,Daniel,Great host! Got free stuff with the stay and found what I was looking for. Thanks!
1511053,8800127,2013-11-18,5241960,Albert,I enjoyed my stay at Cody's. He’s very polite and accommodating. 
1511053,9106717,2013-12-07,10254331,Moacir,"I had a nice stay at Cody's place. His place is a small apartment, typical of an undergrad student, so you should expect no more than that. However Cody is such a great host that it is worth to stay there. He can give you really good tips about the neighborhood, Austin and Texas in general. As a plus, his VHS collection is exquisite and full of classics you can enjoy!"
1511053,9576357,2014-01-02,10795563,Axi,Cody bought me a different experience while I am staying at Austin.  He is a nice and neat person.  He drove me out for some cool places for breakfast and lunch.  He is the person to show you the place which can save a chuck amount of money.  He is the person who can bring you a great experience in Austin if he is not busy.  
1511053,10110313,2014-01-31,10795563,Axi,"Cody is a nice person, and a good story teller.  You will have some fun living with him because he knows Austin too well.   Just let him know what do you want to do in Austin, he will tell you ""just like that."""
1511053,11001096,2014-03-17,11040002,Lucia,"Cody was a great host, very nice and asked if we needed anything. He suggested places if we asked and gave us directions to places that we needed. I look forward to rent form him again in my future visits to Austin. Great host and you get exactly what you pay for. "
1511053,17255041,2014-08-09,3362788,Britta,"Cody is a great and knowledgeable guy. He gave us so many tips on what to see in Austin. The neighborhood is convenient as there is a bus line that stops around the corner and brings you right to downtown. The place however was not right for my boyfriend and me. It is a great price so I did expect it to be very basic - but I did expect to sleep on some kind of couch or air mattress. We had to sleep on the floor which also wasn't very clean (it might be because we booked last minute and there was no time, though). It is also good to know that you have to pass through Cody's room to use the bathroom. We booked 2 nights but left after the first one because of this situation. I wouldn't recommend staying there with 2 people but the couch also seems quite small for one (it is not the one from the picture I think)."
1511053,17414848,2014-08-11,17715578,Van,"If you don't require much besides a couch, then this is the place for you. I was out and about most of the day, and only returned to the apartment to sleep. Cody is a very pleasant and knowledgeable host. 

Personally, I was able to sleep well on the couch and it was perfect for my needs. BUT, I am also 5'1"" and, head to toe, my body still extended past the armrests. YMMV. Taller people may not enjoy sleeping on the couch quite as much. It is the one pictured, though the brown sheet covering it may throw you off since the couch is actually a floral print. Cody provided clean blankets and a towel, along with soap and toothpaste for my stay. 

The AC worked great, the apartment was clean (no bugs), and I had access to the fridge and kitchen. As others have noted, the only bathroom is in Cody's room. I felt badly slipping through his room to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but I guess Cody is a deep sleeper because he said he didn't notice.

The location was great for my needs, and the neighborhood felt safe, even returning late at night. There was sufficient street parking available, even in the evening. The WiFi was nonfunctional while I was there, but I managed to get 3G on my cell and there was a Starbucks across the street with free WiFi within walking distance. In all, it's a great value for the barebones. "
1511053,17605983,2014-08-14,19870428,Sakeeb,I needed a last minute quick place to crash. Cody's couch fit the bill. Cody was a great and accommodating host. Who'd help however he could. The couch was a little small but relatively comfortable.
1511053,18352606,2014-08-25,10221568,Falil,Cody was awesome and very friendly. The process was smooth and my friend enjoyed his stay.
1511053,18685897,2014-08-30,20160489,Aaron,Cody offered me a fantastic way of getting my feet on the ground in Austin my first day in and was even kind enough to take me to the bus stop.
1511053,18775734,2014-08-31,18729662,Carolina,Nice host
1511053,18866592,2014-09-01,20710792,Evan,"Cody seems like a very cool guy, though we didn't actually meet him--he was out working when we got there, and he left for work in the morning before we woke up. The location was great, right near a bus stop that takes you into the student areas or downtown, and bussing around is super cheap, $2 for an all day pass. The couch was fine, not the biggest but both myself and my girlfriend, both f us over 6' tall, managed to sleep there with some creative snuggling. And the price can't be beat! If I'm ever back in Austin I'm most definitely going to stay with Cody agains"
1511053,19000921,2014-09-04,19135159,彭吉,Good host and good place that certainly worth the price! Cody is a nice guy who offers you good advise on going around Austin and is a helpful host.
1511053,19181146,2014-09-07,2773646,Josh,Exactly as described. Quiet and clean. Just stayed for a quick night's rest.
1511053,19234878,2014-09-08,20585138,Pattie,"Apartment is in a great location right by campus and a nice walk to the downtown area. Cody is very nice and accommodating, and checking in/out is easy. Great inexpensive place to crash when visiting Austin!"
1511053,19693920,2014-09-16,15519888,Branden,Cody is incredibly accommodating friendly and helpful. It was a great stay
1511053,20043945,2014-09-22,20937168,Scott,"Cody communicated well before I arrived in Austin...his place is in a great location and I was able to get anywhere I needed via public transport.  He was helpful overall when I needed assistance.

His couch is actually a loveseat which was way to small for my six foot frame.  Also, the couch itself, as well as the blankets had an odd stench.  

Cody was around a lot of the time and very talkative...if you want a buddy during your stay in Austin this may be a good match...if you want privacy then look elsewhere.

Overall, my experience was uncomfortable and I ended up shortening my stay in half.  I would not recommend Cody's place."
1511053,20122703,2014-09-23,21267802,Tom,"Cody was an excellent and generous  host. Very flexible with checking in and out. Even upgraded us from the couch to his bed. Only saw him for a short period, wish my girlfriend and I got more time to talk to him."
1511053,20366808,2014-09-28,21046355,Shawn,Walked into Cody's apartment and it smelled so bad we couldn't stay. Rented a room at Days inn instead. Boxes and clothes spead all over the place. Couldn't get to  single mattress. Was very disappointed. Took pictures if anyone wants to see.
1511053,20538173,2014-09-30,1442022,Vikki,My host was great. I didn't get to spend the night as I crashed with a friend but he did pick me up and help me get a pair of cowboy boots on the cheap as well as some UT souvenirs.
1511053,20713450,2014-10-04,21174317,Louis,Real cool guy. Knows alot about Austin and wants everyone to have a good experience.
1511053,20909630,2014-10-07,20817886,Ann,"This room worked well for my needs. The apartment was generally a little cluttered and weathered, but if you're looking for a cheap place to crash and aren't picky about aesthetics this will work well for you. 

I was traveling as a young woman alone and I felt very comfortable both with the room and the neighborhood. Cody is very knowledgeable about Austin and has great recommendations for things to do and places to eat. He's incredibly busy so the only times I saw him were late at night or early in the morning. But overall I enjoyed my stay and it worked just fine for my trip!"
1511053,21214229,2014-10-13,20896015,Hannah,"Cody was very helpful in answering all of my many questions about places to go and things to do in Austin. He was respectful of our time and space as well. He showed us around a couple of days, which was very nice. I would definitely stay with Cody again. "
1511053,21603813,2014-10-20,21019405,Johnny,"DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Host was very friendly over text and offered to give suggestions and such. He was out of town during my stay so I never met him. ****Upon arriving, I was horrified. This is absolutely the most disgusting apartment I have ever seen. There were boxes and papers stacked throughout the house. The couch was really a love seat and the bed was smaller than a twin. The sheets were not clean and there were no pillows. The blinds were broken and let in street light all night. The bathroom was the worst part. The toilet seat was broken, there were holes in the walls and mold in the grout. Not that I would have stepped foot in the scum lined tub but there weren't even clean towels provided. Even for the 4.5 hours I attempted to nap there, $20 wasn't worth that. DO NOT STAY HERE."
1511053,22091676,2014-10-29,8678251,Victor,"Host was very welcoming and place was as described and responded to queries in a timely manner.  Host had extensive knowledge of local areas and eateries that he happily shared and even drove me for a tour. =)
"
1511053,22220105,2014-11-01,15965524,Natalie,"Cody was very friendly, hospitable, and flexible with checking in and checking out. The apartment is in a great location and extremely convenient to the UT area, especially for the price. Cody also upgraded me for free to use his bedroom instead of the couch. Over all a really great host. Thanks Cody!! "
1511053,22975180,2014-11-18,22689905,Marcos,"Cody is a great host, lives in a great area if you are looking to enjoy Austin night life, I felt very comfortable in his home and look forward to staying again"
1511053,23239454,2014-11-26,21749330,Ted,"Cody was very welcoming and kind. He had intimate knowledge of Austin and was able to recommend several fun activities. His place is small, but adequate for those of us on a low budget looking for a no thrills stay with a rad person to hangout with on occasion. Highly recommended to all."
1511053,23314796,2014-11-28,5018551,Monika,"Host is great, space is small but it works! Unless you're a person who requires lots of space and princess-like amenities, don't stay; but this place is great for crashing. I didn't go out much, but I know the area is good for doing many things and downtown is not far away. Host is great to offer places to go and such!"
1511053,23408063,2014-11-30,14469918,Jie,"the host is nice, drive me to the bus station very early in the morning, he help me so much!"
1511053,23984001,2014-12-15,23891664,Rafael,Good host. Convenient location and is inexpensive. 
1511053,24072762,2014-12-19,10955512,Daniela,"I had a great time at Cody's place. He's a really friendly host and made me feel very welcome. The room is cozy and the apartment is very well located, busses are around the corner and will take you everywhere. I recommend his place for sure. "
1511053,25094531,2015-01-06,17550508,Joshua,"Cody is a welcoming host. He provides you with the bed while he sleeps on the couch. The apartment is lived in, and good for a few nights stay. It's close to some great coffee shops and a laundromat. There is a bus stop a few streets away. "
1511053,27338428,2015-03-02,26132100,Aura,The place wasn't super luxurious but it really fits if you only need a place to crash. It was 20min walk from downtown and there busses constantly running close by. 
1511053,28115988,2015-03-18,3178166,Rosemarie,Everything was perfect for SXSW
1511053,28672044,2015-03-28,29265161,Samuel," Cody was very welcoming, trusting, and accomodating. He gave me a key to the apartment and was very generous in offering full use of his fridge, kitchen, and personal shower. Cody was very amiable, sharing his opinion on Austin and the best places to eat. If you want to be independent, Cody will not bother you and having your own key to his apartment is very helpful. The apartment is also clean---It is clear that Cody prepares for his guests' arrival.

Cody's apartment on 37th Street is in an excellent location. One can walk from his apartment to the center of the University of Texas campus in about 15 minutes or less. From there, it is easy to catch a bus to downtown and 6th Street. Walking from Cody's house to 6th Street is very straightforward and takes around 40 minutes or less. Cody's neighborhood is very safe, and I felt completely comfortable walking to and from downtown by myself at night.
"
1511053,29137429,2015-04-04,28626125,Haian,"Cody is a kind, personable, and understanding guy. He spent half an hour talking to me about places to check out in Austin, which proved to be great conversation fodder when I had meetings with other people. The room is located in a nice neighborhood, a block away from a major bus route. I walked to UT Austin from his place but you can easily catch a free shuttle to campus if that's what you prefer. Would definitely stay with Cody again."
1511053,29867283,2015-04-13,19418060,Chadd,Neighborhood is close to downtown. Easy access. Cody was a good host and provided good local food recs.
1511053,30151824,2015-04-18,4205126,Stephanie,"Cody was very accommodating, which makes a big difference in a small space (as described in post). He pointed out lots of fun things in the neighborhood. Great value, simple and comfortable room in college part of town."
1511053,30237560,2015-04-19,28837541,Frederick,"Cody was very accommodating with check-in and check-out. Didn't get a chance to meet him as he works late and I stayed out late too. 

Bed was comfy (think dorm style) and there is a convenience store across the back alley. Starbucks, Gatti's Pizza, and other food choices less than a block away on foot. Great spot! Cost $6-8 to take an Uber or Lyft to UT-Austin campus. "
1511053,30533177,2015-04-23,2040335,Jose,"Cody responded swiftly to a same-day request. He was very welcoming, kind, and made me feel like at home. For $25, you get what you paid for. Cody's place is a small student apartment. The bed is actually in the living room where the sofa would normally be. You are technically in a different room which gives a little extra privacy. There is a small desk that you can use too if you need to use your laptop. The only downside is that you need to go through Cody's room to access the restroom but you get used to it quickly. 

The apartment is in a very good location, with access to laundry facilities, coffee shops, and restaurants (walking distance). Don't forget to sign on the world map on the fridge!

I would stay here again."

1511053,31754118,2015-05-09,3910067,Ernest,"Comfortable bed, clean sheets, comfortable climate control, privacy - good host. "
1511053,32138761,2015-05-14,32523408,Farshad,"Cody was great, a very helpful and kind host. The room was air conditioned and the bed was comfy."
1511053,32298042,2015-05-16,10616355,Sergey,"Cody is a very friendly and polite person. He provided everything what I needed, gave some information about local restaurants, prominent places. I didn't have any problems/issues. Thank you Cody."
1511053,32639098,2015-05-19,11885120,Teresa,"Cody was a good host, friendly, and easy to communicate with. We arrived when he wasn't home, but he left a key for us. He offered places to check out, which was nice. It is weird that the bathroom is in his bedroom, although, I will say that he made that feel as comfortable as possible. I am pretty easy going, and it didn't bother me, but it might be less comfortable for other people.

This was perfect for me. I was staying with a non-relationship friend, and we were able to have 2 separate twin beds. This was ideal and not available everywhere. It was very affordable and in a very convenient location. Clean and comfortable. "
1511053,33187404,2015-05-25,23504249,Dj,"Cody was an extremely pleasant host. He was very polite and always willing to help. The bed was comfortable and I was able to use the desk next to the bed which was a bonus. Cody's place is also in a very good location, close to many amenities and you can walk to most places if you desire. If you are staying in Austin definitely consider Cody!"
1511053,34038222,2015-06-03,34010408,Priti,"The bed was comfy and the place was clean. Cody was very polite to give me a ride to the grocery store on my first day in the city. As mentioned by others, the place is definitely for someone who can make do without the royal amenities. "
1511053,34749932,2015-06-11,19084617,Fabi,"My experience staying with Cody was really pleasant. He was a wonderful host because he is really cool and has an even cooler moustache. His apartment is at a super convenient and central location, so that was super helpful for me when I arrived to Austin. His bed is comfy and his apt. was cozy :-) I really wish him all the best and bless him~"
1511053,35603231,2015-06-20,35208813,Justin,Very friendly host. Great location.
1511053,35756872,2015-06-21,21947256,Antony,Cody was accommodating even though I arrived very late at night. Great deal!  
1511053,36451936,2015-06-28,27975970,Shawn,The neighborhood was comfortable. There was a nice park nearby and coffee shop.  
1511053,36725071,2015-06-30,34058557,Daniel,"Supernice and intelligent guy, everything was perfect, can't complain and would definitely stay here again"
1511053,37699704,2015-07-09,36924413,Adam,"Cody was a pleasant and gracious host. He answered all my questions and was perfectly hospitable. I wish he'd been a bit more proactive about communication (I had to ask him about getting a key, checkout policy, etc.) but overall I'd recommend the listing."
1511053,39232907,2015-07-21,6693383,Abigail,"Cody is an excellent host, we went for lunch with him which was really nice. He suggested some great places to go to. His place was comfortable and convenient."
1511053,41418829,2015-08-07,37879389,Craig,"Cody is a good host, he's interesting to talk to and v helpful. Being a shared room situation means you have to walk through his room to get to the bathroom, for me that was fine. The bed was v comfortable. The only negative is that the place in general could be cleaner."
1511053,43588161,2015-08-20,17854892,Agatha,"I'm not sure if it was the circumstance (arriving at 1am in a new city), but as a young woman on her own, I would not recommend staying here. I'm used to living in bare bone amenities, but I was sketched out by this listing. I felt uncomfortable, didn't have much privacy, couldn't really sleep, and couldn't muster up the courage to use the bathroom by going through Cody's room while he was sleeping in there. The paranoia I experienced was not worth the money I saved. "
1511053,45265858,2015-09-01,13874190,Ahmed,"Professional: Cody is a very amiable and a knowledgeable fellow. He made me feel that we know each other for a long time. In fact, his warm welcome melts the ice, if you are thinking about 'ice breaking'. His place matches the listing description very well. The desk at the room was very helpful for me. The neighborhood is was good for me. It's very close to UT campus. Several bus stops are there near to his place. There are a good number of shops around the place for food and beverage.   

Personal: Well, we are friends now. During my stay, we went out one night for a movie- The Big Lebowsky. He treated me with a wonderful cocktail in the theater (yes, in the theater). I visited him after my stay. I left something mistakenly at his place. So, when went there, I see he has bag for me. And, I found out that there are several things I left behind. Yes, he is that nice. I absolutely recommend his place and company.  "
1511053,45754285,2015-09-05,9355804,Naomi,"When you walk in the door the bed is directly to the left which didn't feel overly comfortable, and to use the bathroom you need to walk through Cody's bedroom. We did not end up staying here as we felt uncomfortable and the area wasn't overly nice."
1511053,46988812,2015-09-14,43454538,Adam,"Cody Warlop is a great host and became, over time, a very good friend. Offering wise insights, entertaining digressions, and a thorough understanding of the city of Austin, it would be a hard task to find a better place to stay than at Cody Waldrop's cozy apartment. It is an honor to recommend Cody Waldrop to be your next stop in the city of Austin. Thank you, and good night."
1511053,47674417,2015-09-21,20370201,Tim,"Cody is very friendly and was accommodating to my arrival and departure times.  We had several pleasant interactions, and he even gifted me a most useful classic book from his collection.  His apartment was accurately portrayed by the listing description, and it had everything that was important to me (including kitchen access and wi-fi). The location was conveniently located by some of my favorite things in Austin: farmer's market, Hyde Park gym, and the Wheatsville Food Co-op. As a single dude travelling alone, I was very happy staying with Cody."
1511053,48115334,2015-09-23,1630480,Liz,"Cody gave good food recommendations and is well intentioned. It is important to note that you have to walk through his room to use the bathroom and that the bed is in the living room near the front door, which is a bit uncomfortable. It is clean enough. Reasonable accommodation for the price, but might not recommend for a single girl since there's limited privacy. "
1511053,49135959,2015-10-01,42873869,Wei,"这里距离UTAustin和公交站都非常近，交通便利。附近有星巴克可以喝咖啡上网，有便利店，还有卖蔬菜水果的杂货店。房东Cody非常友好，他每天工作很忙很努力，在我居住期间他跟我介绍Austin的日常生活，帮了不少忙。
"
1511053,49879978,2015-10-07,28259819,Clau,"The place is ok for the price but I think it could have some improvements. Unfortunately, you don't have any privacy (the bed is there as soon  you walk in the apt) and you have to go through Cody's room to use the restroom. If you have no problem with that, then you'll be fine. The location is great. I didn't get to talk much with Cody but he was very helpful when I approached him. Overall, I would rate the experience 7/10 just because I travelled alone and would've prefer at least a curtain around the bed for mild privacy. "
1511053,50217305,2015-10-10,43794204,Cole,"The stay with Cody was great. He is very knowledgeable of what Austin has to offer. Very flexible, easy going host who goes the extra mile to ensure an enjoyable stay for his guests. Will definitely be back. "
1511053,51849425,2015-10-24,30722279,Diane,"From picking me up at the airport to showing me the best queso in town, Cody was a wonderful host. We shared some great meals and great conversations as well.
His place is cozy and though the guest bed is technically in the living room, it never felt like I didn't have any personal space or privacy. Heads up that guests will need to walk through Codys bedroom to get to the bathroom (wasn't a problem for me But some people may feel like they need more privacy). 

After that, i forgot my boots at his place and Cody was nice enough to ship them back to California for me. 

A really low price for a cozy bed and great experience. Would recommend Cody's place for chill travelers through Austin.
"
1511053,52820439,2015-11-02,34431904,Mallory,"Even as a single woman traveling alone, I did not feel uncomfortable or sketched out with bed/bathroom arrangement, as some others have, just a bit awkward. More privacy would have been nice, maybe in the form of a curtain around the bed, as another reviewer suggested, but I was out of the room most of the day and he was often out or asleep when I was there, and even when we were both in the flat at the same time, the set-up didn't bother me much. The flat was dreary and somewhat depressing in decor and probably (slightly above?) average in cleanliness for student apartment, but I since was gone for most of my waking hours it was okay for a short stay. 

Cody was friendly and pays attention to his guests' needs and offers lots of advice about places to visit and eat at around town if wanted. As another reviewer noted, he's not proactive in communicating about logistics, etc., but as long as the guest is proactive, it's not much of an issue.

The area seemed fine and indeed I had no trouble walking up and down Guadalupe street between the flat and the UT campus, even early in the morning (~6-7am) or after dark (~8-10pm). Plenty of food and laundry options in the immediate area, as mentioned by others, as well as bus stops on routes leading downtown.

However, I unfortunately did not sleep very well for the 4 nights I was there. The mattress seems to be well-used and consequentially sags a bit in some areas. I have slept on a variety of couches, beds, and futons at various hotels/hostels/Airbnb locations and usually do not have problems, but my back began to bother me after the 1st night and still does even 36 hours after I have left. The bed itself also wobbled whenever I turned over or shifted position, which woke me up frequently. 

Overall, my experience was fine and not as personally uncomfortable as some of the other reviewers', and between the listing and reading reviewer's comments, there were no surprises, pleasant or unpleasant. But if I ever return to Austin, I would probably pay a bit more to stay somewhere with a better-quality bed, more pleasant interior ambiance, and a bit more privacy."
5581135,28292739,2015-03-21,29351311,Sean,"Apartment was very clean, spacious, and cozy. Conveniently located to plenty of bars, restaurants, shopping. Vince was a great host. He communicates well and made us feel welcome.  An overall excellent experience."
4065022,21164431,2014-10-12,14171976,Zhuyu,"The experience of staying at Jessica's place is wonderful. It's mainly because Jessica is really nice and helpful. She gave me a ride to get the groceries and tips for ACL. The room is just perfect, clean and cozy, you can have a private bathroom. The pets are really easy to be with. They are both friendly and well-trained, and you would love them."
4065022,22266111,2014-11-02,22737610,Pablo,"Jessica was very nice and helpful, both prior to my arrival, as well as during my visit. Her and her pets were very welcoming. The place was in a great location to enjoy the nightlife near downtown and easy to access. 
She even cleared out some space on her fridge to make room for any stuff I may have brought, which was nice!

I would highly recommend Jessica. Great host."
4065022,26286428,2015-02-08,360967,Lisa,"Jessica's condo on the greenbelt was a great experience. The unit is quite large and the guest room has a private bath that had all the things a traveler needs. The balcony was really pretty and Jessica was a lovely host...we sat for an hour talking upon my arrival! Her dog and cat were super sweet and very well-behaved. The location is good...easy access to Mopac and just around the corner from Zilker Park. If you like to hike or rock climb, this unit is especially well-located as it's just a 5 minute walk to a Barton Creek Greenbelt trail head. I look forward to staying here again if the occasion ever arises!"
4065022,26572460,2015-02-15,15009318,Geoffrey,Great accommodations.
4065022,49435411,2015-10-04,25550455,Meghan,"We had a great experience staying here. Jessica was out of town, but she left very clear instructions and her friend, who was cat-sitting, was very welcoming. We used her breakfast taco recommendation both mornings. :)

 We loved being able to walk the greenbelt to ACL, although you might not want to walk back that way at night because the trail is rocky. 

The room was very clean and organized. It's a quiet gated community and a comfortable bed. Thanks Jessica!"
4065022,50274469,2015-10-11,37559442,Lauren,"We had a great experience staying at Jessica's condo. This was our first time staying in a shared airbnb, and we worried we would feel like we were being intrusive. Jessica's place actually felt more welcoming! Her set up is perfect; our room was right by the door and had a bathroom connected to it, so it felt like it was  private stay.  Guests should be pet friendly, as you will meet her very friendly dog and cats. We were able to walk/bike to ACL and had a much better experience at Jessica's than past years where we stayed in hotels. She was very communicative and helpful, and the way our room was set up, it is apparent she is very thoughtful and cares about the guest experience during your stay. She even took time out of her work day to accommodate our schedule. We highly recommend Jessica's home! "
4065022,52023231,2015-10-25,47150275,Julia,"We really enjoyed staying at Jessica's place. She made us feel very welcome. Private bedroom was perfect and the neighborhood is very quiet and green.
Would definitely recommend this place."
5335157,27841241,2015-03-13,3936582,Sarah,"Kris' guest house is the perfect spot to enjoy all that Austin has to offer! The location was absolutely perfect -- just a stones throw from South Congress. I highly recommend staying here, it's an absolutely adorable neighborhood. And you can't beat a greeting every day by an adorable little corgi :)"
5335157,28132645,2015-03-18,27991669,Meredith,"Amazing place to stay in Austin. Clean, modern, super-stylish, and surprisingly spacious. Private and quiet neighborhood, but only a one-minute walk from South Congress, for restaurants, shopping, and live music. Easy/quick communication with the owners. We also walked to E.6th Entertainment district, so overall a great location and beautiful cottage!"
5335157,28882678,2015-03-31,1436842,Bettina,"Kris' guest house is lovely and the neighborhood is even better.. Within a 5 minute walk you will find hip restaurants, cool boutiques and fun food trucks and you can also walk to downtown in 20 minutes. Kris gave us a great list of recommendations and was very easy going with our check in / checkout times. "
5335157,29324525,2015-04-06,29585264,Angela,"Super stylish decor!  Perfect location to SoCo.  Personal touches added to the experience like Austin magazines, a few beers and a bottle of Rose in the fridge.  Awesome experience and would highly recommend Air BnB and this location."
5335157,30767634,2015-04-27,23898214,Shana,Our time here was excellent!  Our hosts made it very simple for us to come and go as we please and made us feel right at home.  The location is perfect for exploring South Congress.  We would definitely come back.
5335157,31315676,2015-05-04,29229291,Aaron,Had a great time staying at the SoCo Guest House.  Super convenient location to explore all that South Congress has to offer.  Its also a quick walk to the B Cycle station to explore the rest of the city.  The place was extremely clean and well appointed.  Loved all of the hip posters on the wall and the cool furniture.  There were some local beers and wine in the fridge when we arrived which served as a nice welcome.  Kris was super friendly and had tons of suggestions on places to visit while we were there.  Would definitely recommend staying here and I will look to stay again when I come back!      
5335157,32063651,2015-05-13,1920445,George,Excellent hosts and very cool spot. 
5335157,32499662,2015-05-19,26123651,Channon,"Great place. Great location. Kris was flexible with our crazy schedule and it was greatly appreciated that we could check in early. Beers and coffee in the fridge. Quiet and relaxing. Alas Austin, my pants would all have to go into the trash if i had stayed longer. So many delicious meals to be had around ever corner. Til nxt time."
5335157,33237482,2015-05-26,25467104,Laurie,"Fantastic location!!  We loved the guest house.  It was roomier than expected and otherwise very much as advertised.  Kris sent us a nice and detailed pdf about the place including nuts and bolts, but also with local recommendations for places to eat, things to do, etc. The bed was comfy and overall a very comfy stay.  Had the weather been better, we probably would have taken advantage of some of the outdoor space.  Bonus: They had very good coffee in the fridge and a good coffeemaker."
5335157,33918121,2015-06-02,13007634,Erika,"My husband and I loved staying here! The place looks just like it does in the photos, and everything was super clean and comfortable. Kris was very attentive and gave us really useful recommendations. You can't beat the location, it's walking distance to great restaurants and shops in SoCo. We really enjoyed our trip and would totally stay here again. "
5335157,34492018,2015-06-08,34444767,Carlos,Great location and the guest house was perfect!   Would definitely reserve for future Austin trips. 
5335157,35930924,2015-06-23,15520027,Meredith,"My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Kris's SoCo Guest House. The apartment was immaculate and very spacious. The funky decor blends perfectly with the SoCo neighborhood. The keypad entry was convenient and easy to figure out. We really enjoyed the surrounding neighborhood- the streets are lush and colorful and you're within 10 minutes walking distance from shops and restaurants on both South Congress and South 1st. Overall, very positive experience and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Austin!"
5335157,36386902,2015-06-28,11235816,Jan,"We were in Austin for two nights on a girl's trip and it was the perfect location for us. The guest house is one block from South Congress and we walked everywhere.  The guest house was very hip,stylist, and comfortable with a cozy outside seating area. I would recommend this guest house for up to three people.  As an added bonus visit Kris' restaurant ""Frank""!  "
5335157,37927698,2015-07-11,33754333,Tim,"My first experience with Airbnb. The apartament is comfy, it has all you need. Great apartment with plenty of space to. Very short walk to the Soco and lots of great bars/foodtrucks and shops. But no noise in the apartment, prefect location! Good communications from Kris and no confusion at all. Highly recommended!"
5335157,38192362,2015-07-13,26203025,Claude,"The location was perfect.  It was just a block from South Congress and its multiple bars and restaurants. The space was impeccably clean, and had everything you could hope for in terms of privacy, space, and style. I really enjoyed it and will most definitely book again in the future. "
5335157,39061427,2015-07-20,31808294,Peter,"I had a fantastic 4-night stay at this lovely cottage. Really, it's in the most happening part of Austin, within easy walking distance of everywhere you want to go on both S. Congress and S. 1st. Lots of great places to eat, grab a drink, have coffee, go shopping. And if you're looking to venture farther afield, the express busses stop just a block away. (No need to rent a car!) The boardwalk is a quick 10 minute run north, and the Big Stacey pool is a quick 10 minute run south. The property is quiet overall, with some occasional sounds from the nearby fire station. The cottage interior is fantastically decorated, exactly as it appears in the pictures. I had a few quiet afternoons on the back porch, where I was joined by the resident canine and feline. A taste of home! Even in the hot summer weather, the cottage was cool and comfortable, day or night. I was sad to leave."
5335157,40576991,2015-08-01,32243005,Marcus,"Was much better than expected! Very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect. The best places to eat in South Congress were a few minutes walk away. Even the small touches were very nice such as being able to use the Apple TV to play my music, the extra beer in the fridge (that I hope was ok to drink :) ), the extremely comfortable sofa, and so much more. Kris always responded very quickly to any questions I had. And her very own restaurant, Frank, located downtown was exceptional and hip. I will definitely stay here next time I'm in Austin. This was our first place using AirBnB, though I don't expect the other places to be this perfect! 
Thanks so much Kris! "
5335157,41934925,2015-08-10,32377296,Elizabeth,"This was probably the best place in Austin to stay! It was easy to find and in an amazing location. Kris was a great host, replied quickly, and was just generally pleasant to interact with! The Cokes in the fridge were amazing and the bed was incredibly comfy. We will 100% be back!"
5335157,45256528,2015-09-01,11715180,Jennifer,"Great apartment!  Very clean and cozy, and located in a great spot for walking to shopping, bars, and restaurants. The visitors guide provided by the host was a really nice touch and was filled with great info about the neighborhood.  The apartment was very well decorated with lots of cute art and ATX themed trinkets. It made the space feel very warm and welcoming. We loved Austin and this apartment and will definitely be back!"
5335157,46724003,2015-09-13,31845833,Brett,"What a great place in a great spot. It's clear a lot of thought and effort has been made with the space, which was spacious and clean. A mate and I shared the space on the bed and sofa bed and we had no issues. The location is pretty much perfect - Travis Heights is a lovely little spot and being so close to South Congress was wonderful. A definite recommend. Kris and Geoff are lovely too - the welcome PDF was so good we didn't even consult anything else for recommendations. "
5335157,47623241,2015-09-21,24870160,Allison,"I came to Austin for a birthday trip with my mom and we had a great stay at the SoCo Guest House. The location could not be better (one block off South Congress, with its restaurants, bars, and shops) and street parking was very easy. Kris also provided an extensive welcome packet in advance that helped us figure out what to do, see, and eat in Austin. Despite its location one block from the nightlife we had no trouble with street noise and slept very soundly. Thanks for a great trip!"
5335157,48870333,2015-09-29,23382952,Kerrin,"Kris made us feel so welcome! We had the best trip back to Austin and his place certainly played a roll in that. We loved being able to walk to everything on South Congress and taking an Uber everywhere was so easy and cheap, too. The space was so clean and just what we needed. The round bed was perfect for our 3 year old and the king sized bed was so comfortable for my husband and myself. We would definitely stay here again! Kris was also so responsive to everything and so patient with us and our toddler! "
5335157,50613734,2015-10-13,11998646,Emma,"Wow! This is by far the best Airbnb experience I have had yet. Kris and Geoff were wonderful hosts and put a lot of effort behind their listing. A few days before we got there, Kris sent me a very well designed .pdf that had all the information you could want from wifi information for the house to what places to eat around the neighborhood. The house itself is cozy and so comfortable...that bed! The ""pull-out couch"" was just as comfortable as the bed in my opinion and there were plenty of towels for all of us. It was very tidy and you could tell well taken care of. The neighborhood could not have been better situated, as it is right off South Congress and within walking distance to basically everywhere you want to go in SoCo...and if you take an Uber downtown it's less than $5. Kris and Geoff own Frank, arguably one of the coolest Austin-ite hangouts with great coffee and even better dogs, go there if you get a chance! I would highly recommend this location to anyone and we look forward to the next time we can stay here!"
954116,3783817,2013-03-14,5232559,Dylan,"Tiny House was quaint, clean, and a close walk to Congress st.  Amy was a great host and even gave us a tour around town to get the lay of the land.  Definitely a great place to stay!"
954116,4013807,2013-04-02,2945336,Sael,"Tiny House was clean and charming.
In a quiet neighborhood  5 min car drive to South Congress.
Amy was a wonderful host -- she gave us a helpful rundown on the neighborhood and welcomed us with refreshments and breakfast ingredients in the fridge! 
The bed was firm and the shower had great water pressure (these are ""plus"" for us when traveling!)
The stay was absolutely perfect.
Will definitely try to book again if ever back in Austin.
Thank you Amy for being a sweetheart!"
954116,4209323,2013-04-18,5605609,Tamara,"Tiny house was perfect.  Amy was super sweet and the place was perfectly private.  She left food in the kitchen, wine in the fridge, and even invited me to watch her announce Roller Derby.  The place was clean and cool when it was hot outside.  I would definitely stay there again."
954116,4260663,2013-04-22,5942944,Neeli,This was the perfect place to stay for our Austin visit. It had easy access to all the major places to be! Amy is awesome and knows how to be a great host. We will definitely come back when we are in town again. 
954116,4345783,2013-04-29,819096,Anitha,We had the most amazing time at Amy's house. She lives in an idyllic neighborhood which is walkable from Soco neighborhood. The house is a loft with lots of space and can comfortably sleep 4. The kitchen was very well stocked and we managed a complete breakfast spread every morning with milk eggs toast and juice !!  The backyard with a fire ring and chairs looks very pretty in the evening and its a great place to relax with beers in the evening ! She is an amazing host and made sure we had everything we needed before we even asked for it ! Thanks Amy we couldn't have asked for a better weekend in Austin 
954116,4436512,2013-05-05,1459197,Denise,"Amy's title: Tiny House - Perfect Austin Retreat pretty much says it all.  

I was looking for a place near home to do a solo meditation retreat.  Amy was very quick to respond to my emails, which were filled with questions.  She was great to work with and everything was ready upon my arrival.

The space was just what I was hoping for and so very, very quiet.  I really appreciated the simplicity and cleanliness of the space - there was just the right amount of everything that I needed.  Very nice when you're working on keeping your mind uncluttered!  Thanks so much, Amy!

"
954116,4626125,2013-05-16,5961018,Melissa,"It's true, Tiny House is the perfect Austin retreat! Excellent location and an easy walk through a quiet residential area to the lively strip of South Congress - bars, food trailers, shopping and a view straight to the Capitol. Everything was clean and comfortable with room to spare. In addition to all of the household amenities, Amy left a copy of the Austin Chronicle which helped us get our musical bearings and she recommended several spots and neighborhoods to check out. We will definitely be back and now know there's no need for a downtown hotel! PS - Use SideCar to get around town. Very convenient and a great way to get a local perspective."
954116,4910939,2013-06-01,6472798,Vanessa,"I cannot recommend Tiny House enough as the perfect Austin retreat!  Buy a ticket, gas up the car - whatever! - and get yourself to this beautiful mini Austin sanctuary!  

Amy was such a lovely host and greeted us tired travelers immediately upon arrival showing us around the premise and offering up recommendations!  Tiny House was filled with every amenity possible in the kitchen, bathroom and living room!  The three of us were really impressed! She is definitely a pro-airbnb-er. 

Tiny House was centrally located in a darling residential area of Austin - very close to South Congress and a short cab ride away to 6th street. We will absolutely be coming back! Why stay anywhere else?"
954116,5103637,2013-06-12,6376915,Nicole,Thanks AMY ! for a wonderful stay at your Tiny House.  I really appreciated all the extra food items and the very cute place.  It was a great place to relax after being all around town.  Austin was wonderful and had many awesome places to eat.  I even made it to the San Antonio Riverwalk which was charming.  I wish I saw more live music but was able to go to one place Monday night that was great. Thanks for inviting me to see the rollergirls and being such a nice host
954116,5190769,2013-06-17,3929851,Dakota,"I had an awesome time. Thank you Amy for being super helpful from start to finish. I especially enjoyed that I didn't need to meet up with anyone to check in, the breakfast materials and that the place is exactly as it appears in the listing."
954116,5502004,2013-07-02,7098672,Liz,"This was a great homebase to explore Austin and conveniently located to many things we wanted to do -- Congress Bridge bats, food trucks on South First and South Congress, close enough to downtown attractions and we loved shopping at the local H.E.B. (they have great fresh catfish) since we were cooking breakfast and some dinners at Tiny House. Going backwards,it was really great to find a welcoming stocked refrigerator which was so nice after a long day of traveling. My 13-year old son could walk in 10 minutes to the basketball court at Little Lacy Park and take a dip in the pool when he got hot. It was a great place for a family (we have two teens).  Liz"
954116,5559663,2013-07-06,481629,Andy,"Amy's Tiny House was the perfect spot for us in Austin.  She attends to all the little things from snacks and breakfast goodies to extras in the bathroom in case you forgot something.  Location in Travis Heights is great, but you likely will want a car, though cabs are easy to book so long as it's not a holiday like the 4th.  Highly recommend Tiny House.  Amy was great in helping us with recommendations and  insight on Austin.  "
954116,5776250,2013-07-15,7409744,Michael,"Our stay at Tiny House was such a relaxing  experience. Everything was very clean, fresh and ready to go. The fridge was stocked with eggs, orange juice and bread. Amy even setup a projector and screen in the backyard to watch movies with some of our friends- complete with popcorn and a fan to keep us cool. Hugs and friendly conversation marked our departure. We would come back here in a heart beat!"
954116,5898128,2013-07-21,7476386,William,"Great place in a quiet neighborhood, great place to get away and relax.  My friend loved it , Amy was a great host.  Highly recommend!
"
954116,6280136,2013-08-06,6547157,Julie,"Tiny House is indeed the perfect Austin Retreat! My friends and I were in town for a conference and decided to book with Amy. She was quick to answer any questions, provided lots of additional info, and was super flexible when we needed to add an extra night last minute. The location is perfect, had the weather been slightly cooler, we definitely would have been walking to South Congress on the daily, but as it was 106, we called cabs, which were never more than 5min away. The accommodations were very comfortable, and we really appreciated the breakfast foods provided. Our only regret is not making better use of the beautiful outdoor space! Thank you Amy and Tiny House, we will most definitely be back! 
"
954116,6570982,2013-08-17,7963296,Chloe,"Our stay in Tiny House was absolutely lovely! Amy was an amazing host, we especially loved her tips for things to do in Austin and the food that she left for us! After being on the road for so long we really felt welcome and at home at Tiny House. The perfect place to stay for a visit to Austin! Thanks Amy!"
954116,6701245,2013-08-21,8195821,Elaine,"Perfect retreat in Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin.  Super convenient to SoCo and I-35.  Clean, private and quiet; unbelieveably well stock with everything from coffee and creamers to Blue Bell ice cream.  Wish I could have stayed longer!  Great place, Amy!"
954116,7072408,2013-09-05,8009812,Eric,"What a beautiful place!  Fully stocked with food and amenities, with a gracious, unobtrusive host and a shady, quiet back yard perfect for a relaxing cup of coffee (provided and delicious) or an evening beer (also provided and also delicious).  Amy literally thought of everything.  We would wholeheartedly recommend Tiny House to anybody thinking of staying in Austin."
954116,7258259,2013-09-13,8342458,Jesse,Great stay!
954116,7522659,2013-09-23,2123839,Emily,"Staying at Amy's Tiny House in Austin is like being a local. The house is tucked nicely away in such an ideal neighborhood to explore Austin. It is quiet yet close to all the bustle of South Congress Street. Amy keeps a very nice pad to relax and enjoy the city. The house is equipped with AC (nice for those hot Texas nights), toiletries, kitchen items TV, internet, etc. Everything is thought of, even spare razors, toothpaste, popcorn and local brew to taste (though I think previous Airbnb'ers may have left that, we did the same!) :) The bed is very comfy and quite cozy up in the top loft. The backyard lounge environment is lovely and we were sad it rained and we didn't get much time to sit out and enjoy it for the weekend we were there. I would highly recommend this place for those staying for one night or seven. It is a great jump off point to see Austin and a wonderful place to lay your head. Amy is extremely communicative and was a pleasure to meet. Only other item - we had a 3 month old with us that was no problem with the loft environment but he is not rolling yet. It would be a bit nerve-wrecking if you have smaller active kids with the loft... "
954116,8330763,2013-10-26,7920442,Kristin,"Amy's tiny house was perfect for our little family during our stay in Austin.  Although we didn't meet in person, she was prompt in responding when we needed anything or had questions.   There was even a couple Lone Stars in the fridge to welcome us ;) The neighborhood was quiet and very close to town, one of our favorite places to eat was the Whip In, a 10 minute walk from the house.  We would love to stay here again. "
954116,8503334,2013-11-03,9196934,Kristin,"We loved the Tiny House! It was comfortable and had everything we needed. Amy was very responsive and helpful. Tiny House had cable and we also received a wifi password. Travis Heights is a charming, historic neighborhood that is very quiet and central.

GETTING AROUND:
We were able to get to the Tiny House very easily from the airport by taking the 100 bus to the 20 bus. On the way, back, it's the 7 to the 100. From Tiny House, it's just a fifteen-minute walk to South Congress. From there, it's an easy bus ride to Downtown. Tiny House is a 30-minute walk to East Austin. We did not need a car, though we did rent bikes for two days. If you decide to rent bikes, research ahead of time where the bike paths are as many streets do not have bike lanes. If you are sticking to the central neighborhoods of Austin, you can get around with public transportation for sure."
954116,8605087,2013-11-07,227031,Molly,"Really enjoyed my stay at Tiny House - located in the very cute, walkable neighborhood of Travis Heights.  The house was exactly as described - well stocked with food & toiletries, plenty of living space, and a very comfy bed in the loft up top.  

It was about a 15 minute walk to the trendy South Congress area - which is doable in daylight, maybe a bit more tricky when dark.  All in all, a very enjoyable experience and quite affordable for Austin!  Amy was very easy to communicate with before and during my stay.  "
954116,8660362,2013-11-11,542756,Madeleine,"great house! well located, very cute! Will rent again :)"
954116,8750144,2013-11-16,185099,Sandra,"Amy's place was wonderful! The location is great - really close to downtown as well as the airport. It is also close to South Congress and some other cute areas. 

The unit itself is just as the pictures show - but even better! The tiny house is indeed small, but provides all the comforts you'll need. The layout and design were such that we never felt cramped or need for more space. 

Amy is also a very thoughtful host. There were considerate touches throughout the place. She even has mason jars of extra toothbrushes and razors in the bathroom! Although we didn't get a chance to take advantage of the breakfast she stocked up, it all looked wonderful.

The only regret is not having more time to relax in the awesome backyard. Would definitely stay again the next time I'm in Austin.

Thanks Amy!"
954116,8958005,2013-11-28,7708016,Sunshine,"We had the misfortune to visit Austin during an unusually cold and rainy November. When we arrived at Tiny House, though, Amy had a fresh pot of coffee waiting for us. The house is definitely tiny, but very well appointed. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking, and Amy had provided coffee, milk, bread, and eggs. There were even a couple beers in the fridge. She has a combo AC/heat unit that was more important than we would have guessed! By cranking the heat, and with a small space heater downstairs, we were mostly warm enough. Under normal weather conditions, I'm sure Tiny House would be very comfortable. As noted in the description, the loft does have a low ceiling. Amy has a fantastic selection of games, as well as a few books and magazines and some local maps and tour books that were helpful. The only thing I would recommend is that you bring your own music, since there's no radio, CD player, or speakers for your phone/iPod/etc. The neighborhood is quiet (and beautiful!). We weren't able to take advantage of Amy's yard because of the weather, but it was very inviting, with chairs, a fire pit and plenty of wood, and plenty of space for lounging. There was even a hula hoop!  We highly recommend renting from Amy, who was very communicative. Tiny House was great, and we'll definitely stay there again next time we're in Austin."
954116,9036383,2013-12-02,7991510,Marc,"The place was amazing! The pictures don't do it justice. Well stocked with food and even beer!

954116,9096749,2013-12-06,7008608,Jeff,Great location in Travis Heights which is one of the coolest spots. Close to The Continental Club on Congress. Very cool and hip place. Amy made us feel so welcome. We'll be back again for sure. Book with confidence no weird vibes here you'll love it
954116,9155126,2013-12-09,2385227,Michael,"Amy's place is GREAT! She thought of everything. Breakfast food in the frig, abundance of towels in the bath, fully stocked kitchen, very comfortable bed, and much more!! We met her upon checkin briefly and she was very responsive whenever I texted her with questions about places to go. I highly recommend her cottage. The yard was great too unfortunately we hit Austin during a cold snap!! Brrr..but Tiny House was a great find. I will stay here again!!"
954116,9441133,2013-12-29,9372722,Deborah,"Tiny House was a charming home base and conveniently located to everything we wanted to see and do during our visit to Austin. It was nestled in a safe, walkable neighborhood and set back from the main house with a lovely back yard sitting area and fire pit. It  felt very safe and private. Tiny House was simply and tastefully appointed, and a cozy place to regroup between excursions. It  was clean and well-maintained, and Amy provided all the necessities, like fresh bed linens and plenty of  towels, as well as coffee (a must!), and some ""hotel"" extras like shampoo, moisturizer, tooth paste, shaving cream, and more! to make our stay comfortable. It was just right for our short visit, and I would highly recommend it!"
954116,9640271,2014-01-04,460662,Caitlin,"Amy was a fantastic host and we loved Tiny House! It is obvious that Amy has worked in hospitality because she has thought of everything for Tiny House! It is convenient to get to, in a fabulous location in Austin, and very easy to arrive/depart. My husband and I felt safe and incredibly comfortable. Tiny House is very clean and modern, which we loved. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you'd need during your stay, as well as the bathroom. We were moving from the East to West Coast and tired from driving, so thoroughly enjoyed down time in the comfortable living space. The bed was also very comfortable and we slept great! I would recommend Tiny House to everyone I know visiting Austin. Thank you so much for such a comfortable and easy stay, Amy! "
954116,9925971,2014-01-20,9554794,Mary Clare,Tiny House was absolutely perfect! Amy was a great host and the listing was just what I expected. The house was really close to a bunch of bars and shops. Austin was great. I didn't want to leave. Will definitely return!
954116,10254048,2014-02-09,11501569,Princessannclaire,"Amy is an incredibly kind and gracious hostess. I had a productive but peaceful stay at Tiny House. My little dog was delighted to be able to run around her cute backyard. It was great fun getting to know someone in Austin who is so cosmopolitan and interesting! We went out to see an artist play & it was a blast.....I would come back anytime!  A jewel: lovely, comfortable, bright spot where you can work or rest!"

Amy was very attentive and quick to respond. For those do you that enjoy your privacy, this is the place! The neighborhood is quiet we were not bothered by Amy at all. In fact, due to our constant coming and going, we never actually met her. The house itself is very spacious for a tiny house and the loft sleeping is very unique. It totally beats staying in a hotel any day! "
954116,10776361,2014-03-07,5077423,Martha & Karl,"Although we did not get to meet Amy, she was very prompt in answering any questions.  The Tiny House was perfect for all four of us, super comfortable beds! Had a fire in the fire pit our last night after we had made an amazing meal in the well equipped kitchen. We did so much walking. It is close to Congress and the Continental. We also walked to 6th Street. We took a taxi in the evening to Congress about $15 (includes tip). 
In the words of Blaze Foley....If Could Only Fly, I'd Bid This Place Goodbye and Come and be with you."
954116,10899044,2014-03-12,1588781,Owen & Tif,"Amy was a very accommodating and friendly host.  The place is in a great neighbourhood and minutes walk from downtown, parks and south congress.  Moreover Tiny House is exactly as advertised.  I'd definitely stay again.  "
954116,11012017,2014-03-17,12775136,Samantha,"Well, the rumors are true! Amy and her ""Tiny House"" is absolutely a phenomenal experience! I competed in an Airbnb + SxSw photo contest a few weeks ago, and when I found out I won, Airbnb completely surprised us with the most amazing 5 day trip to Austin a week later, and my boyfriend and I got to experience SxSw in the most incredible way. True Southern Hospitality. The house is beyond perfection, tucked away just a way from downtown. The backyard, the porch, beautiful and cozy interior accommodations... Amy is one of the most excellent people I've ever met. She was quick to respond with any questions, and made things so comfortable, I was telling people back home, I wasn't leaving. The only thing is, on the last day, our week had been so hectic, I realized I didn't get to enjoy the house as much as I wanted to. Amy, thank you so much for everything, words cannot describe how much we enjoyed ourselves. I hope more than anything we can re-connect again in the future! Looking forward to our next trip to Austin, no place but the Tiny House!!! Much love to you, Samantha and Drew!!!"
954116,11326800,2014-03-30,2357173,Kelsey,Our stay at Tiny House was great! Amy was a lovely host. The space was great for the 4 of us on our way to Marfa via Austin. We loved hanging out and chatting on the porch with Amy and her friends. The location was nice and central in a great neighborhood.

954116,12372731,2014-04-30,13299034,Laura,"Tiny House is a must for anyone visiting Austin looking for a unique lodging experience! Amy has thought of everything from toothbrushes to tour guides and everything in between. With 3 ladies under the age of 30 on vacation for 5 days, it was amazing that we were never short of towels -- and the short walk to Congress Street gave us good cause to enjoy all the food and drink the city had to offer!! We were also able to walk to and from the Food and Wine Festival at Balboa Park -- which was perfect for our needs. We would definitely return!"
954116,12463167,2014-05-03,5105527,Melissa,"Amy was a great host to us at Tiny House. The space was far nicer than the photos let on, everything was so charming and well laid-out -- and CLEAN! We loved being able to chill in her outdoor space, the 10/15 minute walk to SoCo also gave us a chance to stroll through her wonderful neighbourhood, which is very safe and lined with beautiful houses and trees! Something we really needed but Tiny House didn't have was a laundry machine/dryer -- but Amy tried her best to accommodate us around her work hours in her own home to get it done! Would definitely stay here again!"
954116,12916717,2014-05-14,3094646,Emily,"Tiny House is as lovely as it looks in the listing and was perfect for my boyfriend and me.

954116,13956401,2014-06-09,14137478,Marie,"Tiny House was perfect for my best friends' weekend! There were only 2 of us and there was more than enough space. It is only about 1.5 miles to South Congress, where we spent most of our time, so we were able to walk and enjoy the shops and restaurants. Amy gave us great directions for entering Tiny House and parking was perfect since we were able to park in her driveway. It was quiet, the neighborhood was beautiful and I will definitely try to book Tiny House for my next Austin trip. "
954116,14313070,2014-06-16,517981,Jesse,The tiny house was amazing - its tucked away on a nice quiet street with easy access to ATX. I would love to stay there again next time I visit Austin.

954116,14981663,2014-06-30,15773417,Missy,"Amy was the perfect host, the tiny house was a perfect location and it all felt like a home away from home. The space was comfortable, equipped and exactly what we needed at the end of our long days seeing the town. Austin is a great place to visit and her home is centrally located near almost everything. We rode bikes around the city and the tiny house was a perfect starting and stopping point for our bike adventures. The backyard is an inviting, chill space and the monster tree is amazing, shading everything. I would definitely recommend this space to fellow travelers, friends and family. Airbnb truly is the only way to travel. "
954116,15354502,2014-07-07,17109561,Annie,Tiny house was amazing! Perfect for a weekend get away and we used the bikes to go to south Congress's main drag many times! The house was super clean and had great style :).
954116,16152899,2014-07-22,15817197,Kelcey,tiny house was very cute & clean! great location
954116,16524410,2014-07-28,18342174,Daniel,Host made us feel welcome.  She was very nice.  Neighborhood is nice and quiet (you need to drive or take a cab/lyft/uber to get to the action on 6th street).  Backyard is amazing and great place to chill!
954116,18387039,2014-08-25,687346,Jason,"First of all, this location may be the best in Austin. Travis Heights is a fantastic neighborhood and it is situated so that you can easily access downtown (I recommend Rainey Street and East 6th for going out. Especially Half Step on Rainey Street -- a fantastic place to get cocktails and chill outside), South Congress (10-12 minute walk) and the incredible bike trail along the river. We got around using a combination of walking, biking, and Uber. It was a quick trip to everywhere we wanted to go. Amy provides two bikes and you should not leave Austin without biking along the river.

As for the house itself, it was fantastic. Very clean, organized, and neat design/layout. Amy was kind to stock the place with some snacks, cereal, and toiletries that were clutch in a couple situations. We did not cook but the kitchen is great and is stocked with all the basics you would need. If we stayed longer, we would have gone grocery shopping and taken advantage of this.

It was also extremely private. We did not get to meet Amy (would have been happy to) so for those who may have concerns about privacy, I can assure you there's no worries there. I also imagine that if you want to meet Amy and hear recommendations, she would be happy to do so. She did send me several nice and helpful text messages prior to our arrival.

Next time I go back to Austin, I'll be staying here again. This place allows you to have an authentic Austin experience and positions you within arms reach of the best of what the city has to offer. Don't stay downtown. Stay at thisTiny House!"
954116,18837036,2014-09-01,14364462,Ashley,"Tiny House is an awesome place to stay and Amy is an amazing host. She makes everything simple from arrival, transportation (2 great bikes!) and everything in between. The place is stocked with everything you might need for your stay. It was a great place to host my big family that came up for the day with the space in the yard and proximity to south congress. 

Would stay here again in a heartbeat. "
954116,19450216,2014-09-12,21143810,Meike,"As soon as I landed at the airport. ""which was past midnight"" Amy was a friendly face and made sure I was ok. 

 I asked if there was vodka redbull, she went out and got it so it was there for me...

I felt so at home, and the place was AMAZING. small. But great when you want to be close to someone. 
 I felt like I was back at Mom and Dads little cabin. No words. Thank you

 I highly highly recommend to anyone coming to Austin, to rent here. Host and place, AAAA++++ "
954116,19563130,2014-09-14,20891591,Taylor,"Our weekend at Tiny House was wonderful! We ended up housing seven people there with the provided bed, sofa bed and an added air mattress that I brought from home. The house is spacious and set up so nicely, we never once had problems with over capacity.  Unfortunately it rained for most of our stay, so we couldn't enjoy the yard as much as we'd hoped to.  It's a truly awesome set up, though.  We had no trouble getting cab and uber rides into town, and we were able to walk to South Congress once the rain stopped. It's a really great location. We loved every minute of our stay. Amy was an amazing host, so friendly, helpful and welcoming! We will definitely be back!"
954116,19940842,2014-09-21,18636213,Aubrey,"Tucked away in a quiet charming neighborhood, Tiny House was perfect for a girls weekend getaway! The space was perfect for the 4 of us.

954116,20643839,2014-10-03,12265654,Jonathan,"We couldn't reccomed Tiny House enough. It was perfect for the 3 of us. So close to SoCo, and we walked to Big Stacey Pool everyday. Amy is fantastic, and we're already planning our trip back. So many memories of our trip to Austin. Tiny House played a huge part in that. Thanks Amy!"
954116,21030053,2014-10-10,11274731,Carrie,"I loved my stay at Amy's Tiny House.   The house was so cute and perfect - had everything we needed for our stay - even things we wouldn't have thought of (like picnic blankets and coolers for day outings).   The location was ideal - so close to everything we wanted to do, and the neighborhood was so pretty.     I will definitely stay her again when I return to Austin in the future."
954116,21123510,2014-10-12,723714,Rebecca,"Our stay at the Tiny House was great! We found the house easily as it's very centrally located and is only a short distance from SoCo. The house is artfully decorated, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the stocked kitchen and loved the comfy beds. 
Upon our arrival Amy came out to greet was very gracious and so sweet. 
We would love to stay again next year. I'd book the same weekend now if I could!"
954116,21788087,2014-10-24,21429852,Seth,"Great place to stay and great location near South Congress. Cottage was clean and well-maintained. Nice touches like orchids in bloom and flowers. Coffee, milk, and other basic staples provided. Big room downstairs with kitchen, walk-in closet, living room with cable tv, and bathroom; stairway to loft upstairs where comfortable bed is located. 
I texted Amy a few times with questions before and after my arrival and she was always very responsive. I saw her briefly a couple times and she was very friendly. I would definitely stay here again."
954116,22062902,2014-10-29,859057,Mandana,"It was a real pleasure to explore Austin from this fantastic base. Amy was super helpful and the guest house is very cute, clean and quiet. There was some milk in the fridge and cereal in the kitchen, which allowed us to have breakfast in the house from day one (we arrived late at night). Having two bicycles available to us to explore the city was the cherry on the cake.

Overall a fantastic stay - we would definitely come back!  "
954116,22287474,2014-11-03,12386535,Greg,"What a great experience.  My son and I were first time visitors to Austin, there for Formula 1. I'd had difficulty finding suitable housing, and turned to AirBnB (another first time experience).  Tiny House was exactly as described.  Nice neighborhood, centrally located, easy to get to COTA for the racing and to downtown and surrounding areas for the eating.

Best review I can give: we'll do everything exactly the same way for next year's Formula 1."
954116,22457913,2014-11-07,21662331,Rachel,"Tiny House was a wonderful experience.  Amy provided everything we needed to know ahead of time as far as directions and code to enter.  I appreciated the key code entry as we didn't have to keep up with a key while we were there.  
Tiny House looks just like the pictures and was exactly what we expected, although it was much more charming in person.   The neighborhood is beautiful and welcoming.  It is a short walk or bike ride to South Congress Shops.   The bed was very comfortable, even for my husband who's 6 feet tall.  "
954116,22595946,2014-11-10,22303078,Steve,"Had a great 3-day weekend in the Tiny House. The place was nicely appointed and stocked with breakfast items and treats (a pleasant surprise). Neighborhood and backyard were draped with huge oak trees, very relaxing scene. And the location was great - bars, restaurants, and shops on South Congress were a short walk away and Town Lake and downtown Austin were easily accessible using the bikes that were provided. Would definitely recommend the place and will be looking to stay here again next time we're in Austin."
954116,22793546,2014-11-15,14293119,Leslie,Thank you so much!  We loved our visit and the tiny little house was perfect. We were within 5 minutes to everything. The space was comfortable and quiet. We would highly recommend to people. 
954116,23151364,2014-11-24,19570638,Victor,"Tiny House was the perfect place for our visit to Austin! Was able to walk to downtown and never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a cab or Uber. House was in great shape and shelves were stocked with coffee, goodies, and other life-savers. Hope it was OK that we left our dishes in the sink, wasn't sure if we were supposed to clean them--didn't see a dry rack or D/W in the unit. Had a great time in Austin and would definitely stay at Tiny House again. Highly recommended! Thanks, Amy!!!"
954116,23745596,2014-12-09,18116856,Priscilla,Tiny house was perfect for our week long girls trip. It has everything you could need (except cards of humanity) and it easily fit the 3 of us and at one point 5 of us. We used the fire pit outside which was such a treat. The location is the most central and a 5 min drive to everything. Amy was a lovely host and we would def use Tiny House again :)
954116,24376345,2014-12-27,23980210,Michael,"This was our first experience with AirBnB and it blew our mind! So much so that I've already scheduled a trip for next month. The location was just right. A mile or less to SOCO, which I didn't know what that was before the trip. Basically, if you've outgrown the shenanigans of 6th street this is the place to be. Great food, people watching and atmosphere. The neighborhood was a treat as well. Tiny House is exactly as its portrayed in the photos, charming, quiet and relaxing. I'd definitely stay again. "
954116,24660641,2015-01-01,23246871,Shalar,"I've spent a lot of time in Texas but it was always DFW or Houston-my husband and I love live music so have always wanted to visit the ""live music capital"" - Austin - and Tiny House made our first time the best possible trip. After spending 4 days in Austin I can very much imagine living in the city, particularly Amy's neighborhood. It reminds me of my college town, Iowa City, in a good way-super progressive, eco-friendly, awesome people, restaurants, & music. We took it slow & relaxed over our visit, but also made sure to get in some classic experiences- I even bought some cowboy boots (Allen's Boots)! We spent NYE at the iconic dive bar the Continental Club on South Congress, which is either a 5 minute drive or 10-15 minute walk from Tiny (website hidden) is incredibly well-located. EVERYWHERE we went was no more than 10 minutes to drive, usually 5. We would've walked more but the weather was cold & rainy unfortunately. Parking is easy - Amy has a private driveway for you in a fun & safe neighborhood. You could fit more than one car if you are a group. A bit  more about what we did in case you use reviews for travel advice like I do: LBJ museum is awesome, SoCo shops are tons of fun, make sure to hit Torchy's tacos (food trucks are big here), San Antonio's beautiful RiverWalk is just a bit over an hour's drive away, great day trip with TH as a home base. Dallas would be about as far. HEB is a great grocery chain I didn't know before. Ok, the house-it feels so much bigger than you'd expect for Tiny. It was perfect for the two of us, but more could have fit. The bed is super comfy, as is the couch (which would fold out but we didn't use that). The kitchen has anything you'd need, and we grilled out in the gorgeous yard. We wish the weather had allowed us to spend more time out there with its fire pit and huge tree. We definitely want to come back when it's warmer to take advantage of more TH features. We lazed around a bit, using the really big tv and dvds Amy provides. She provides board games & books too. I was worried we'd be cold because it was so cold out, but it warms up fast with the ac/heat unit up in the loft, plus we used the provided space heater to supplement on the lower level on the really chilly nights & in the bathroom. The water in the bathroom heats up very nicely too, making showers very nice & hot. Keyless entry was very convenient. Amy was an awesome host, very quick to respond, helpful, accommodating, & sweet. We really cannot wait to visit again & wouldn't stay anywhere else than Tiny House!"
954116,25288090,2015-01-11,1409959,Stasia,Amy's tiny house was amazing and super quiet. It was a perfect place for a wedding weekend in Austin and super central to everything.  I would recommend it to anyone!
954116,25765334,2015-01-25,1401388,Gretchen,"Very cute neighborhood - lots of trees, very hilly for texas! House exactly as described - seemed way bigger than pictures. Host very welcoming by text, left great snacks"
954116,25974507,2015-01-31,26387953,Britt,"Delightful space.  Just like a little home with desk, couch, bed, and kitchen.  Well-furnished and comfortable.  The little touches of the stocked kitchen (coffee, cereal, etc.) and bath really makes things easy and makes you feel at home.  Neighborhood is close to airport, S Congress st shopping/music, and downtown. Very quite and funky neighborhood, lovely."
954116,26260651,2015-02-08,11556174,Adelle,"Amy is a fantastic host, her communication is top notch and her Tiny House just the best kept secret in Austin!! 

The place is well fit out and the breakfast / tea supplies are a welcome and lovely touch. Amy is an excellent host and her suggestions for enjoying Austin make for a wonderful experience.

Thanks Amy, we will be back!!"
954116,27042909,2015-02-24,4704923,Diane,"The tiny house was in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The house was perfect for us for the week. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the back yard.  Amy supplied some snacks and was there when needed, but was not at all intrusive. I would recommend the tiny house for anyone looking for a quiet spot in Austin. "
954116,27388255,2015-03-03,5288845,Chris,"Fantastic home base for visiting Austin. Great location, short walk to South Congress and a short ride to anywhere else. Amy was completely accommodating and stocks the Tiny House with all the comforts of home."
954116,27722888,2015-03-10,4653370,Cristina,"Amy was easy to communicate with in advance, and once we arrived, everything was as described. The house is great, and everything you need is provided for. Highly recommended! "
954116,27918329,2015-03-15,13396440,Daniel,"A great base to explore Austin. Leafy, calm, cool neighbourhood and the perfect launch and recovery pad to get to / escape from SXSW! Comfortable bed and fridge with all the essentials. Excellent communication with and warm welcome from Amy. Recommended."
954116,28647926,2015-03-28,19080723,Anna,"Tiny House is even lovelier than the pictures show and the garden and neighbourhood are beautiful. Amy made us feel very welcome during our stay, as did her sweet cat who enjoyed relaxing in the garden with us. It's a perfect base to explore Austin from, or just to spend some time relaxing. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and would love to go back if we find ourselves in Austin again. "
954116,28869680,2015-03-31,8641283,Christina,"Everything about this place was great! I really appreciated all the quirky details that went in place to make the place feel more homey. 
The neighborhood was also wonderful and Amy was a super friendly and awesome host. 
We especially appreciated the Kind Bars, extra toothbrushes and razors left for our convenience! 
We had an awesome first experience in Austin and Tiny House was a huge part of that! "
954116,29396779,2015-04-07,20366374,Batsheva,Amy Sherman was a wonderful host. She was super helpful getting us some groceries and welcoming us when we arrived after the airline lost our luggage. She was very attentive and accommodating throughout our 1 week stay. Tiny House was in the perfect location to walking everywhere in the SOCO district and downtown Austin. I was there with my 9 year old and parents and we had a great time cooking dinners and playing games and watching the fun movies she provided. Thank you Amy for a wonderful week. Only downside was the wifi not working well at all but Amy said she was trying to upgrade which I think would make the stay ideal. Thanks Amy again for a wonderful week in Austin.
954116,29599514,2015-04-10,6025204,Sean,House as just as nice as the photos and the neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. Amy was a gracious host and very knowledgeable about the area. The outside space is wonderful for morning coffee too!
954116,29969057,2015-04-15,22333122,Holley,"Amy's place was in a great location, a short walk from the main strip of restaurants and shops in Soco. Tiny house itself was lovely! It had all the amenities we needed, was furnished to a high standard and was very clean. The garden area was a massive bonus, it was great to have an outdoor space to relax in. My boyfriend and I would highly recommend Tiny House! "
954116,30774339,2015-04-27,12286335,Christopher,Not much to add that's already been said. Tiny House was terrific. Amy was great. 
954116,31192641,2015-05-03,29534204,Greg,"Tiny House was a pleasure. Unit was as described, very clean, and stocked with supplies. Amy was very nice. The neighborhood is residential and really nice. Not too far of a stroll from south congress."
954116,31782726,2015-05-10,5023452,Ian,Our stay at Amy's back house was wonderful. The location is great and she made our stay super comfortable and easy. Thanks for helping us have a really great time in Austin!!
954116,33858066,2015-06-01,397137,Jeff,Amy's Tiny House was an ideal place to stay while we visited Austin for the weekend.  It's in a great neighborhood that's convenient to a lot of great spots in the city.  Amy is very friendly and welcoming.  The house was clean and comfortable.  
954116,34247987,2015-06-06,33681766,Kathleen,The Tiny House was like a sweet tree house! Amy made us feel welcome and ensured we had a wonderful stay. She is a gracious host with lots of information about Austin and some of the surrounding towns. We made some wonderful family memories here! Thank you Amy! AND to future guests at the tiny house...go to Magnolia Café and eat the bacon pancakes oh my they were the best :)
954116,36467082,2015-06-28,36302413,Myrthe,"We really enjoyed our stay at Tiny House, the room is beautifully furnished  and the location is perfect!  We've had an awesome weekend in Austin!"
954116,37195913,2015-07-05,1093637,Justin,"A perfect place in Austin, outfitted with all the amenities you could possibly ask for - coffee, breakfast bits, speedy internet and more. One of the most professionally and practically managed places I've stayed at yet, improved yet further by great tips, super communication, and the utmost friendliness from host Amy. Thanks so much for having us! The property's a 10 minute walk to all the treats of South Congress, and any easy slip on and off the interstate if you're planning on moving around... And it's not so tiny! Plenty of room for four, if you're happy to share beds... This truly was a home from home."
954116,37911736,2015-07-11,11546631,Alx,"wonderful stay at the tiny house!
everything you need to be comfortable. great yard to hang out in. friendly cat. superhost is super."
954116,38094411,2015-07-13,226353,Alice,"Amy was a wonderful host! She was very quick in replying to messages and the tiny house was a comfortable spot, even including some breakfast and pantry items and coffee! The sofa bed was really comfortable! The location was in a safe and quiet neighborhood, but easy access to S. Congress.  We would recommend this location for anyone! "
954116,41042583,2015-08-03,40012724,Sarah,"We couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Amy was super accessible, friendly and even offered tips on places to ride bikes. Tiny House was super clean and cute! As an added perk, we got to meet her super sweet kitty. On a scale of 1-10, Amy and Tiny House get a 12!"
954116,41299698,2015-08-05,14600181,Logan,Amy and her place are fantastic.  So cozy and clean and simple. LOVED it!!
954116,41824369,2015-08-09,33281035,Meaghan,"Wow, the tiny house was AMAZING!! This is the coolest, nicest place! We stayed for the weekend, and Amy provided us cereal, cereal bars, a large amount of great movies (we watched 3!), board games, and the comfiest place to stay. I will definitely be staying here on my next visit to Austin. We had such a great time!
"
954116,44030682,2015-08-23,9591394,Debra,"Before writing my review, I glanced at the pictures of Tiny House again.  The space is EXACTLY as pictured and yet it manages to be so much more.  We had an awesome time at Tiny House and Amy was just the best.  

The adorable cottage is very nicely appointed and you will want for nothing while staying there.  From breakfast goodies to beach towels and sunscreen, you'll be covered.  Tiny house, located in a quiet, shady neighborhood, is conveniently situated to enjoy Austin (especially South Austin).  Three adults stayed in the house and we all found it to be comfortable.  

Amy is a great host.  She was responsive and informative both via email and in person.  You really got the impression it was important to her that you had a great time while under her care.  We had the bonus of having her company for coffee Saturday morning while we enjoyed hanging out in the yard. 

Tiny House and Amy are an example of what makes Airbnb such an awesome alternative to traditional lodging.  You depart Tiny House just simply wanting to take it with you so you never have to leave. Staying at Tiny House enhanced our Austin trip and will always be part of those memories.    "
954116,44609924,2015-08-27,674867,Brittani,Amy was extremely friendly and helpful! The place was wonderfully inviting. I loved the neighborhood and also got tons of work done at this peaceful retreat.
954116,47730728,2015-09-21,41506968,April,"The perfect home base for a visit to this great city!  Tiny House is charming, comfortable, spotless and situated within minutes of everything!  Amy was a wealth of information on places to go and sites to see!  And if you make it to the Continental Club, you might even spot her cutting a rug!  A truly wonderful trip!!"
954116,48558954,2015-09-27,42534209,Taylor,We were in town for a football game and Tiny House was a great location in quaint neighborhood not too far off the highway. It was really easy to get too and from campus and downtown. Amy was extremely hospitable and helpful the weekend we were there. When I'm back in Austin I hope Tiny House will be available!
954116,49467494,2015-10-04,13358328,Aaron,Amy was wonderful and very welcoming!! I would recommend this very chill and relaxing place to anyone!!!! 
954116,49915314,2015-10-07,11490812,Ash,"This was a great experience. Everything was exactly as the description states. Having access to bikes get downtown was a real plus! There was coffee, tea, cereal, milk and snack bars. The neighborhood is quite and beautiful to ride bikes through. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
954116,50747544,2015-10-14,7978041,Ranu,"Amy was incredibly communicative throughout the process, and her apartment is a great space for 2 - 4 people. It's in a great location, you can walk to South Congress, though I recommend renting a car if you're doing a lot of exploring. She has parking available in the driveway. She welcomed us with a little note and treat, and linens and towels were abundant. She also had sunblock & toiletries stocked.

Her instructions were thorough and clear, we didn't have any issues getting into the house or finding it, and she offered some good suggestions for the area. The beds were super comfortable and the apartment is decorated well. I would 100% stay here again - it was perfect for our ACL / Austin weekend. "
954116,51125246,2015-10-18,10510206,Natalie,"My fiancé and I stayed at Amy's tiny house during our wedding weekend and it was perfect for us. The house and its accommodations are very hip yet functional and comfortable. The skylight above the loft bed is a really nice touch, very romantic for a couple sharing the space. I've lived in Austin off and on since 1992, and Amy's house (not to mention her amazing backyard) perfectly capture the vibe and aesthetic that made this town famous. Amy was the perfect host -- laid back, accommodating and excellent with communication.  I can't recommend Amy's tiny house enough!"
954116,51848161,2015-10-24,46838980,Rosalie,Tiny house is in an awesome location! Having two bikes with access to helps explore the cute and safe neighborhood around you! Amazing views of the city just blocks away! Amy was very helpful and accessible. 
954116,52037494,2015-10-26,29700656,Christian,"The Tiny house was perfect. It's really cute and was perfect for our long weekend in Austin. We came for the USGP so we booked early. Amy was on top of every question I had and responded quickly. Everything worked in the house and it was super comfortable. Nice kitchen, shower has good pressure, plenty of fresh towels and linen, TV worked and was nice, easy access to congress street, etc. This house is great and so is the host. You will enjoy it. I call dibs for race weekend next year! Thanks again Amy! "
1173760,5589235,2013-07-07,6120181,Suzanne And Craig,"Beautiful house in a great location.  Easy access to the best of Austin and 3 blocks from a great park with splash pad for the kids.  We walked to the river for fireworks, and had a great stay.  Ana was an excellent host and we would stay here again.  "
1173760,6262865,2013-08-05,222502,Cecilia,"Lovely and comfortable house with great location.  Very convenient to great restaurants and shopping.  Ana was a wonderful, thoughtful host and we would definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended!"
1173760,6440989,2013-08-12,5024077,James,"This is a lovely house and Ana is a lovely host. Very comfortable, newly remodeled, impeccable decor. There is a fantastic screened in porch with a view of downtown Austin. The location is great. Walking distance from south Congress and Barton Springs. Near downtown. Ana stocked the kitchen very nicely and accommodated a last minute schedule change no problem. I used to live in Austin for nine years but was just passing through for a night--this house is a perfect Austin experience. Highly recommended."
1173760,7123170,2013-09-07,1244317,Snowflake,"The house and neighborhood are great. Perfectly central Austin, and tucked away on a side street with no traffic. The house has an amazing screened porch for evening sitting. Ana was very responsive and serving, and made sure we had what we needed on a daily basis. The house is close to train tracks which could be a little noisy.

"
1173760,7199822,2013-09-10,7809871,R,"We had a great long weekend at Ana's place. The space was thoughtfully organized, very comfortable and we were able to enjoy our morning coffee on the deck every day.  Ana gave us a map of places to check out that was a huge help in exploring South Austin. Cant say enough good tings about our stay.  "
1173760,7516231,2013-09-23,52739,Anand,"The South Austin Sky House is in a great location close to South 1st Street and South Congress.  It is in a quiet residential neighborhood and on an even quieter street.  The house is not too far from all that Austin has to offer. 

The apartment itself is clean, spacious, and comfortable.  The wifi works, the shower is hot and the water pressure is good, and the bed is comfortable.  The front porch area was a great spot to relax. 

Ana was a great host – easy to communicate with and flexible with timing and changes to the schedule.  She was easy to talk to and pointed us in the right direction to see some of the best of Austin.  

The Sky House is a great place to stay in Austin and I would stay there again when visiting Austin.  Thanks Ana!
"
1173760,7707556,2013-09-30,932609,Jim,"Ana was very accommodating and made our trip to Austin and reunion with our daughter a delight. Her upstairs space was exactly as described and more. The views from the porch were great and the location perfect for access to the best parts of town. 
We had auto problems in the morning and Ana was most helpful locating a repair shop open on Sunday. 
We will definitely be back.
Thanks again Ana,
Jim Dauterman

1173760,7897391,2013-10-07,9056064,Ben,"A gorgeous home, well appointed and spacious - we felt very comfortable there. For the architecturally inclined the neighbourhood is a great area to wander and check out a huge range of wonderful and eclectic homes. Ana was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive. The only reason I wasn't able to give it 5 stars is the proximity to the railway. The trains are quite active including throughout the night. This isn't a show stopper but if you are a light sleeper you should be aware of it. Otherwise, a great find and perfect in every other way. We would definitely stay here again. "
1173760,8219036,2013-10-21,4153115,Thomas,"Great time at the Austin Sky House. Well decorated with a welcoming open floor plan. An eclectic blend of old and new carried out onto the patio where there was nothing more inviting than an early morning coffee in the haze of dawn.

The host was nice to stock the fridge with enough breakfast supplies and TopoChico to last us the weekend. We were especially grateful for those treats during some of the late night hours.

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Modern, well-styled, yet warm and inviting. A central location and a wonderful host to guide you through everything. We weren't sure if we were more sad to leave Austin or that house by the end of the week-end."
1173760,8411169,2013-10-29,5751646,Bennie,"Our stay with Ana at the South Austin Sky House was wonderful.  It was very clean and roomy.  The decor was thoughtfully done in a Texas Hip manner.   Ana was so gracious and stocked the fridge & pantry with drinks, chips, salsa and our first day breakfast.  We will definitely stay here again!"
1173760,8609635,2013-11-08,329509,Liberty & Chris,"We loved our stay at the South Austin Sky House! Ana met us when we arrived and was very welcoming and helpful. We were happy to meet Lou the cat as well who is such a sweet little guy!

The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The screened in deck was wonderful and we slept really well. I was a bit worried about the train as I'm a light sleeper, but I didn't even notice the noise at night. Ana was kind enough to let our friend stay one night as well when his accommodation plans fell through.

The location of the Sky House is ideal. It's a short walk through a charming neighborhood to the center of South Congress. It was great to be so close to the fun shops, bars and restaurants but still in a quiet neighborhood. It's also very close to the Bouldin Creek Cafe which we loved!

We hope to be in Austin again in the future and would love to stay at the South Austin Sky House again when we return!"
1173760,8753432,2013-11-16,7976171,Adam,"Ana was a fantastic host! She was easy to contact and very welcoming. She knew all the local spots and was interesting to talk to. The house was just as advertised. Beautiful top floor and very cool porch with a view of the skyline. The south Austin neighborhood was super fun. If you want to do a lot of down-towning at night then you may want something closer to or in downtown because public transport in Austin is not good. Otherwise, Ana's place was perfect for exploring the very hip and relaxing south Austin scene. I have no complaints about her or her fab sky house!"
1173760,10385502,2014-02-17,3966204,Jillian,Ana was so helpful and responsive when our flight was canceled and we weren't able to make it. We were so sad to miss out on staying in her beautiful home but will be sure to stay there when we finally do make it to Austin! 
1173760,10974131,2014-03-16,8510727,Jenny,"When we arrived to this beautiful, clean and cosy house Ana had bought fresh bread, juice, almond milk, cereals, eggs etc. Much appreciated! She also left a map and some tips for cafées, restaurants, shopping etc on the kitchen counter.
Mid-week one of is left and then she washed the sheets and towels. Although Ana and her family live downstairs, we barely noticed. When going to the airport the taxi didn't show up, but Ana's father took us to the airport. :) Thank you so much for the lovely stay!"
1173760,11540156,2014-04-07,2961318,Erin,"My parents, fiance and I stayed at Ana's place for a weekend in Austin, and it was absolutely perfect. Ana was very accommodating. Her place was clean, beautifully designed and decorated with all the amenities you could ever need, and within walking or biking distance of plenty of attractions. The neighborhood itself is beautiful and felt extremely safe. 

I would highly recommend this place to a small group or family wanting to enjoy all the fun things to do in Austin but also have a nice, comfortable, quiet place to relax."
1173760,11824405,2014-04-16,81945,Michelle,"We absolutely loved our stay at the sky house. The house was clean, super close to everywhere we needed to go, and we loved hanging out on the front porch. The train took one night to get used to, but wasn't a problem with ear plugs. We would definitely stay here again!"
1173760,12549060,2014-05-05,13519659,Joanna,"One of the best vacations my husband and friends have taken. Austin is a great city, but the Sky House was a great place to come back and relax. We found ourselves sitting in the sunroom and enjoying people walk their dogs and cars drive by. Ana was nothing but a perfect host, providing helpful information before and during our stay in town. Both bedrooms had great lighting and the entire house was immaculate! Felt like home. I would absolutely book this place again! "
1173760,13407349,2014-05-27,12827091,Max,"Being new to Airbnb, I didn't have any reviews when attempting to book with Ana. She gave me a chance and we had a wonderful time! The house is absolutely beautiful. There is a stunning porch which overlooks a view of downtown Austin. The house is located on the end of a street so you feel like you're away from all the hustle of the city. The appliances were brand new and extremely clean. The bathrooms were the star of the show! If you're a stickler for beautiful bathrooms, this is the place for you. Even the towels were fresh, soft and clean.

Ana and her family were extremely kind and welcoming to our group. Anytime I texted Ana with a question she quickly responded with the answer! We felt very comfortable staying in the home and I would recommend it to anyone. Do yourself a favor and spend a few nights here!"
1173760,14022229,2014-06-10,3864240,Joel,Everything about this stay was perfect. Ana and her family were welcoming and helpful. The house was beautiful and in exactly the location we were looking for.
8921084,51102352,2015-10-17,5048017,Gregor,"Great host, thanks for everything! Really cool community, perfect for every young professional."
8729744,50603527,2015-10-12,37194279,Dylan,"Natassia's home was very warm and inviting, and my friend and I were both greeted with pancakes and coffee in the morning! Despite all the chaos of incoming ACLers in Austin she was a gracious host and very accommodating. "
5268621,47830817,2015-09-21,43136979,Mary,"Mary’s loft is perfect for a weekend getaway! The living room space downstairs is comfortable and spacious and the loft has a big, comfy bed with a wonderful little reading nook. My boyfriend and I are musicians and loved having the piano around. She provides coffee and snacks and there’s a mini fridge… lots of food options are a short walk away on Lamar.  There’s outdoor seating if the weather is nice. Mary herself is a long-term resident of Austin, very friendly and welcoming. We wished we could have gotten to talk to her more. Highly recommended – would definitely stay again. "
5268621,48652829,2015-09-27,189112,Rhonda,"Mary's Loft is exceptional. The space is very comfortable with a nice contemporary style, interesting art and just the right amount of personal touch. 

The location, off South Lamar, is arguable one of the best in Austin with great gouts of greenery that simply feels enchanted. Access to downtown is super easy as well as Hwy. 290 and 35 and from there the remainder of Austin and the hill country.  The Loft also offers off street parking. 

The bed is extremely comfortable and you will definitely enjoy a nice quiet night's sleep. We arrived to snacks and cold drinks which was hugely appreciated. 

Mary provided some of the best check-in directions -- complete with photos-- that I've ever received. She is very personable and interesting to talk to, but offered us lots of privacy. 

Having traveled with AirBnB for 5 years and hosted as long I can confidently say that Mary's Loft is the cream of the crop. "
5268621,49618900,2015-10-05,18096950,Tom,My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Mary's loft.  We visited Austin for the ACL festival and had a great time.  The neighborhood is beautiful and in walking distance from everything.   She was a great host and we would highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin.  Thank you for the hospitality.  
5268621,50274575,2015-10-11,33683012,Margaret,An amazing quiet loft a quick walk from silver park and south congress. Amazing location and the house itself is beautiful. We brought our puppy and she couldn't have loved it more. 
5268621,51326349,2015-10-19,44665661,Cynthia,"We loved our stay at this appropriately named ""quiet"" guest house. It was absolutely perfect! It was very relaxing, wonderfully decorated and had just what we needed. The bed is very comfortable and that is saying something since we are ""seasoned"" travelers and not that easy to please, at least as far as beds go. The upstairs loft is very spacious so there is ample room for 2 people without running into each other while getting ready, etc. Our host Mary was charming and very responsive to both the questions we asked before making the reservation as well as during our stay. She is very knowledgable about Austin and readily shared information as to where to go and what to do. I love that there was half and half in the fridge to accompany the coffee she provided. She also provided a fruit basket with granola bars and such and a little dish of chocolates. It was, like a said, perfect for our stay in Austin. We  will definitely stay there again when we return to Austin sometime in the future (hopefully it will be available) and will recommend it to any of our friends traveling to Austin."
5268621,52008369,2015-10-25,30372556,Samantha,"Mary's loft is a little slice of Austin heaven.  We enjoyed our time with her tremendously, and I cannot express how lovely everything was.

The description and photos in her listing are perfectly accurate, and in fact don't do it quite justice.  It is a beautiful, clean, very well decorated space, and very private and quiet.  There is a great energy about the space, and we continuously commented on how nice the little extras were that Mary provided that weren't listed online.

It is the small things that show you how thoroughly a host has thought about your experience - a gallon of bottled water chilled in then mini fridge, a basket of easy to eat snacks and little treats for your enjoyment, a pump bottle of nice face wash by the sink, an array of local pamphlets for activities and nearby restaurants for your convenience.  The towels and sheets and blankets were soft and quality, and the bed was comfortable and a delightful cozy nook.

Communication with Mary was easy, and she made our arrival and entering the space seamless and low stress.  She was available when needed, and a true delight to get to visit with.  We will absolutely be back and tell others about the loft.  Thank you Mary, you're fantastic!"
7216538,41146650,2015-08-04,3599585,Miles,"Lynelle and Scott were the absolute best hosts! They anticipated our every need and really went above and beyond to make our first trip to Austin amazing. 

Also, the trailer was absolutely perfect! Lynelle made sure the trailer was cool, clean, and had everything we needed and then some. The vintage details were absolutely adorable and made the space unique and comfy. The shower was spacious and had great water pressure. Also, the air conditioning unit did an amazing job countering the Texas summer heat and the trailer stayed cool and comfortable the whole time.  

Really, this is an amazing find. The neighborhood is wonderful, the trailer couldn't have been rehabbed better, and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful and friendly! This was a perfect introduction to Austin. We can't wait to visit again!!"
7216538,41501492,2015-08-07,16813941,Keo,"Three words: WE. LOVED. IT. Three more words: LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Seriously, we DID NOT want to (website hidden) none the best Air BnB stay we've had to date. We know that super-laid-back Austin hippidome doesn't suit everyone's tastes, but if this describes you, STAY HERE. You get so much more than a good night's sleep when you stay here; you're getting their beautiful backyard setup, too. You're next-door-neighbors to their cute little chickens (who provide you with delicious eggs, which you can cook in the provided cast-iron skillet). There's a garden-light patio just for you! The outdoor shower is WONDERFUL (maybe too wonderful?), and did we mention all the FOOD within noshing distance? Lynelle and her husband Scott put so much loving detail into this place, we can't say enough about it (they're still building, btw. Any iota you come across, we assure you they're on top of it and improving the ALREADY AWESOME TRAILER *so*much*awesome*) They were so kind and accommodating. Thank you guys so much for everything. "
7216538,42041421,2015-08-10,39838632,Erika,Super rad place! Lynette and her family are beautiful people! They let us borrow their bikes to ride around the city. They shared their keg in the backyard with us. And the 70s vintage silver streak is amazing! You will never want to leave!
7216538,42794328,2015-08-15,28881941,Grant,Lynelle was such a caring host! She's hilarious and laid back while easy to get ahold of if we were to have needed something during our 2 night stay. The trailer is tucked away into her backyard and you are free to come and go as you please. It's uniquely decorated with vintage items and we felt much more local (in a neighborhood) rather than staying in a hotel. Lynelle provided a few awesome snacks and a big book with local restaurant/ store recommendations. My wife and I definitely recommend this trailer if you're looking for a unique and fun place to stay while you're in Austin!!
7216538,43153158,2015-08-17,40695540,Camille,"We had such a wonderful time in the cutest airstream ever! It was truly an Austin experience right down to the small details. I could just gush over the details. From the succulents, quaint decor, the outdoor shower, provided coffee and lemon water-we just loved it all. Lynelle and her husband were so hospitable and welcoming. We enjoyed all of their suggestions from shopping to the greatest breakfast tacos. The location was perfect and it was so close to everything. We can't wait to recommend this Austin gem to everyone we know. "
7216538,43830355,2015-08-22,40422502,Meredith,Lynelle and Scott were very welcoming.  They had the trailer set up exactly how it was listed.  You could tell that they really put thought into making our experience great.  Their backyard is beautiful.  We really enjoyed riding our bikes around the neighborhood and on the local trails.
7216538,44952563,2015-08-30,3339607,Jennifer,"My boyfriend and I just spent four magical nights in Austin, and our home for that brief stay--Lynelle's refurbished trailer--could not have been more perfect. I'm a vintage and knick knack junkie myself, so it was awesome to be in a cozy home adorned with all sorts of retro gems to discover--Viking cocktail stirrers, 1950s tumblers, woven wall art. And the 8-track player was fab--my boyfriend listened to the Outlaws album so much, he ordered it on vinyl. Not only was the interior great (love the subway tiles in the bathroom!), the backyard was spacious and welcoming. We took advantage of the refreshing outdoor shower (water pressure and temp were great inside and out), hammock, kegerator. Plus the chickens were quite friendly. Lynelle, her husband and daughter were incredibly welcoming and she had great suggestions for us. If you stay here, do like we did and eat breakfast tacos at Veracruz, bike along the lake, catch some music at local haunt Stay Gold and go on an excursion outside town to the cypress-lined Blue Hole swimming hole."
7216538,45412277,2015-09-02,10851084,Heidi,"Lynelle and Scott were such amazing hosts that by the time we arrived they felt more like friends than strangers. 
Their home was just a short ride from the airport and space was even better than the pictures. And, the pictures are pretty amazing. Lynelle has paid such close attention to every detail, and it truly made our stay unforgettable. We loved having the bikes to get around to local restaurants and breweries, the indoor and outdoor shower, french-press, 8-track player, AND keg with delicious craft beer. We came in August and were worried about the heat, but the trailer was so comfy and cool we slept till 11am our first morning. Ah! Now this was a vacation. "
7216538,46164912,2015-09-08,6636035,Alexandra,"My friend and I came to Austin for the first time and absolutely LOVED our stay here. Lynelle and Scott (and their lovely daughter) were incredibly welcoming, fun, and helpful! Their hospitality alone is enough reason for anyone to visit. The Airstream and backyard are both amazing - the decor is beautifully done and there is everything you need there. The outdoor shower, bikes, hammock, chickens and dog were great bonuses :) I really can't say enough good things about this! It is perfectly located amongst restaurants and bars in a really fun neighbourhood and they provide tons of recommendations. We had a car and it was always very easy to find parking outside the house. This is the only place we will ever stay in Austin - thank you!!"
7216538,46963699,2015-09-14,12364447,Jarod,From the second we arrived Lynelle and Scott were absolute legends! We could not have felt more at home. They helped us plan out all our days sightseeing and also gave us tips on the best bars in town. The trailer is super cool and comfortable and the outside shower was surprising treat. It is super close to everything and the two bikes made things so easy. I'd highly recommend to anyone wanting to check out Austin in a unique way. Cheers guys Jarod and Danielle
7216538,47821859,2015-09-21,38618737,Tom,This was an absolute blast! Perfect East Austin place to stay. The Airstream was very comfortable and full of the owners funky things. Loved it. 
7216538,49321343,2015-10-03,3432495,Steph,"Our stay with Lynelle couldn't possibly have been more generously accommodated, more welcoming, more comfortable, etc... From booking to greeting to check-ins during our stay, Lynelle and her wonderful family were incredible hosts. The camper offered up welcome AC, kitchen and bathroom amenities, fruit and energy bars, a stereo for playing our music, and a guidebook with a plethora of helpful recommendations and suggestions for exploring Austin.

Lynelle's backyard was one of our all-time favorite Airbnb experiences. We spent a warm, golden night in the patio space listening to music/eating BBQ/drinking some local beer that Lynelle offered to us. Lynelle and her family offered their bikes to us for further adventures in the city.

We were so impressed with the vintage camper! It was beautiful, plentifully furnished, and in the charge of one of the most charming and generous families we've had the pleasure of meeting!"
7216538,49700521,2015-10-05,44858772,Eric,"Lynelle’s Airstream experience exceeded all expectations I had when booking my weekend stay. Lynelle was the most hospitable, flexible, and accommodating host; providing fresh cookies, snacks, water, fresh coffee, and a full access keg and mini-bar. Not only is the Airstream perfectly decorated, the entire backyard is wonderfully landscaped with a picnic table, a grill, two bikes, an outdoor shower, a hammock, and two chickens named Winner & Winner. Nestled in an up and coming portion of East Austin, Lynelle’s Airstream is near the river, Rainey Street, downtown Austin, a number of great restaurants and bars. I sincerely cannot imagine a more enjoyable stay or a more wonderful host. The next time I find myself in Austin, the first place I will look to stay is at Lynelle’s Airstream. Seriously. It was the best. This spot gets a 5 star rating only because giving it 10 stars wasn't an option."
7216538,50215451,2015-10-10,24241232,Ann,Lynelle is a great host and a lot of fun to talk to.  The camper is even better than the gorgeous photographs and the garden is a wonderful oasis in a vibrant part of town.  
7216538,50574540,2015-10-12,17510215,Daniel,"Best place in Austin! Absolutely immaculate, would recommend to everyone. Perfect location, perfect host. If you're a fan of fun and good keg beer I'd stay here. Wouldn't change a thing."
7216538,50867380,2015-10-15,44973424,Hannah,"Totally awesome experience, we wish we could have stayed longer.  The camper is so well equipped & thoughtfully put together, we couldn't have asked for anymore.  Lynelle & family were so welcoming & friendly, it felt like staying with friends.  If we are ever back in Austin this would definitely be our 1st choice of accommodation.  Location was great & very easy to get around with either bikes or cabs.  Thank you so much L, S, P, W, W, W x"
7216538,51640009,2015-10-22,7683190,Stefanie,"Lynelle is an awesome person and excellent host. Everything in the trailer and in yard was thoughtfully chosen and placed. You can tell A LOT of love went into this space. The bed was super comfortable and she provided high quality linens and plush towels -even robes. Super clean and tidy. It had everything you needed to be comfortable - it felt just like grammies house! I couldn't believe the size of the shower and the pressure was excellent with ample hot water. The yard was stunning and it was fun to look out and see her chickens tilling the lawn. My husband was obsessed with the keg-a-rater! The neighborhood was awesome, lots of shops and food spots. Lynelle has a great Welcome book. We will be staying here every time we come to Austin. We wish we could just move in forever though!:)"
7216538,51891356,2015-10-25,91095,Alex & Rose,"Amazing airbnb experience. The level of care  and attention to detail put into it was better than most boutique hotels - for a fraction of the price.
Super comfortable bed, THE BEST shower, beautifully decorated inside and out, great local guide book, oh and stocked with tea, coffee, beer and liquor!! Lynelle is an awesome host and a properly cool and genuinely lovely person to boot. "
7216538,52314459,2015-10-28,16626931,Julie,"Lynelle was the best host we could have hoped for.  When my friend and I showed up in the middle of the hurricane's rain storm we were disappointed and not sure how we were going to explore the city.  Lynelle was very welcoming and offered up a ton of different suggestions of her favorite indoor activities.  Her recommendation of the Alamo Drafthouse was awesome and so was the Broken Spoke down the road.  We didn't get a chance to ride the bikes, but I found it so thoughtful they have them available if you'd like.

The trailer itself was perfect.  Super cozy in the rainy weather!  The shower has the best water pressure you'll find, way better than I've had in some hotels.  You can tell a lot of time and attention went into making the trailer a home away from home.  The bed is comfy and the snacks Lynelle left were delish.  It's also located in a great spot with a lot of things easy to walk to.  If I'm back in Austin I will be staying here!"
7216538,52825618,2015-11-02,1309353,Maggie,"This loaded vintage trailer is everything pictured and more! Lynelle and her family are great hosts, super friendly and welcoming. They have done a great job with this camper. The decor was amazingly charming – a perfect mix of vintage items and quirky Austin-ness. The beer on tap is a delicious bonus! 

As with most areas of Austin, the East Austin neighborhood had great food! It's an up and coming area and less congested compared to South Congress or Downtown. Walking distance to pretty much everything you need. 

Unfortunately, our visit to Austin was during a rainy stormy weekend and we didn't get to experience the outdoor activities the city offers. That said, sleeping through the rain in the charming camper was one of my favorite parts of the trip! 

I look forward to going back to Austin and staying with Lynelle again. "
7216538,53184857,2015-11-06,45141697,Kelly,Lynelle and her family were wonderful hosts. The Silver Stream is charming and comfortable. I noticed some decorative touch that made me chuckle everyday during our stay. The neighborhood had amazing restaurants in walking distance. An oasis in Austin.
2304959,10924749,2014-03-13,5237611,Wilder,"We loved staying at the Rockhouse. Sally made us feel at home, and the location is fantastic. Would recommend to anyone traveling through Austin."
2304959,11201080,2014-03-24,1676046,Senalka,"Had a great stay at the Rock House. Clean, comfortable and spacious. Perfect backyard for the dog. Great location. Sally was a great host from afar."
2304959,12057379,2014-04-22,5783150,Stephanie,"The Rockhouse truly rocks! An absolutely gorgeous, quirky, unique, Austin experience. Super convenient - our group did not have a car and did not need one! Very easy walk to HEB, liquor store, 24hr fitness, etc. complex, and to multiple bus lines (all $1 a ride) that get you most places visitors would want to go in Austin! Also, cabs are relatively cheap. With our group of four, the two rooms with one double/one queen were great, as were the two indoor common spaces and open kitchen format. There's also a great backyard with a large table that we we shared with about eight people that we had over for Easter brunch!

The kitchen is outfitted with what you need, and even had some sparkling water and tortas in the fridge welcoming us - which was a very nice touch after such long travel days.

Absolutely everything was spotless, easy to find, and obviously decorated with love. Sally made sure I had her number in case I needed anything, but honestly we never did. Two of us saw the cleaning crew as they were leaving and they were also incredibly sweet. 

Even our Austin friends were jealous of our pad - and it was so affordable, you really can't beat it."
2304959,13184103,2014-05-21,9871215,Eugenio,"The house was lovely! Beautiful yard, convenient location, and wonderful amenities, and very clean. My family really enjoyed the place. Thank you for opening up your home to us!"
2304959,13391852,2014-05-26,13746495,Corey,The Rockhouse was awesome! It was the perfect location for my friends and I to explore Austin. Will definitely come back for my next trip! I also recommend the Garden District Coffee House delicious Breakfast tacos! 
2304959,14667012,2014-06-23,16943025,Joni,"Great location, beautifully furnished with the perfect combination of contemporary and vintage Texas style, tons of space and CLEAN. Simple check-in/out, safe neighborhood, anything you could ever need in the kitchen, multiple areas to work, rest, read, relax or visit, and true Southern hospitality from Sally. The shower is awesome (hooray for nice shower heads with good water pressure!) and sleep machines and ceiling fans in the bedrooms are a nice bonus. The only downside was not being able to spend much time there - I was in town on a business trip and truly wish I could have stayed at the Rockhouse to work all day. I'll definitely be booking it again. "
2304959,15340189,2014-07-07,16641227,Ashley,"The Rockhouse exceeded our expectations! It was absolutely gorgeous and had everything one might need for a stay away from home. This was our first trip to Austin and because of our stay at The Rockhouse, we will be back again. Not only was the house beautiful and spacious, Sally provides all the amenities one could imagine. All the normal basics are provided, along with basic condiments, basic ingredients for cooking, several coffee options, creamer, filtered water, and much more! We could not have been happier!
"
2304959,16493836,2014-07-28,17083439,Ann,"Although we have visited Austin many times, we have always stayed in hotels and this time our daughter suggested we try airbnb since we wanted a place where we could comfortably visit with local and out of town relatives.  Our stay at the True Texas Rockhouse perfectly fit that bill.  Sally graciously answered several questions before and after the booking and remained in contact during our stay to make sure everything was in order at the house.  The house was clean, kitchen perfect for preparing a large family meal as well as breakfast or lunch for my husband and I.  There were numerous places to sit and visit, play cards, or read a book and the location was perfect.  "
2304959,18596344,2014-08-28,20288996,Barbie,"We highly recommend The True Texas Rockhouse!  Our stay was outstanding. It is truly one of the best deals in the area.  The location is perfect being just minutes from the UT campus and downtown. The ranch design with Texas décor felt more like a cozy family ranch nestled in the Texas Hill Country.  The kitchen had all new appliances and was outfitted with everything we needed. The bathroom was very nice with a great shower and plenty of hot water. The gel memory foam toppers made the beds super comfortable. Even the pullout sofa was wonderful.  Everything was super clean and tidy. 

We also cannot say enough about our accommodating host –Sally.  We were in the process of buying a home and had hoped to close before school began.  But with unexpected delays, my son and roommate both UT students were basically going to be living under a bridge. Sally responded to our last minute Airbnb request within minutes. To our good fortune the house was available and we were in within a matter of hours.  Sally was so flexible to our rushed schedule she adjusted checkin/out times and even delayed her maid service so we could stay an extra night.  Sally treated our frustrating situation more like a close friend. Great place, great deal & great host.  Thanks Sally!

2304959,18845690,2014-09-01,475578,Nancy,"We really enjoyed our stay at The True Texas Rockhouse on 43rd, and would stay here again.  The house interior was very nice, cozy, clean, and decorated in a vintage but still classic style.  The kitchen was nicely stocked.  The queen sized bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked well.  WiFi connection was strong.  We were visiting family in Austin, so did not take advantage of the neighborhood, but there is a large HEB and other shops just a block away and just across I35 there is a new area with a lot of cool shops and restaurants.  Because it was August in Austin and there is an on-going draught, the yard is parched and dry and not inviting. But there is nothing to be done there.  Sally, the host was very pleasant to deal with and got back to us promptly when we had a question. I recommend!"
2304959,20346114,2014-09-28,5685444,Rachael,The home was great and very comfortable and clean. Sally was so easy to communicate and we are so happy we were able to stay there.
2304959,20836565,2014-10-06,7443554,Mack,"The Rockhouse was amazing. We stayed here for weekend 1 of ACL and it was perfect. Perfectly located within a short drive of nearly everything you'd want to see in Austin. The house was very clean and comfortable. The beds were soft and after a long day of rocking out, they were a welcome break. 

Sally was very accomodating and easy to communicate with, always quick with a response. We would definitely stay here again for any trip to Austin. "
2304959,21340352,2014-10-15,18930177,Christina,"This house was just perfect! It was in a great location. The neighborhood was charming and quiet and it seemed very safe. The house was close to many stores as well as major roads, but out of high traffic areas. Sally was a great host and was very timely with her responses. The house was equipped with anything and everything you may need while away from home. The backyard is great for grilling and hanging outside in the sun. Would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Austin! Highly recommended!"
2304959,21537083,2014-10-19,15191549,Sonia & Andrew,The house was perfect and it's even better in person. Wish we were in town longer than 2 days to enjoy it more. Kitchen has everything you need same goes for the restroom. The beds & pillows are super comfy! We felt safe and really enjoyed lounging around in this house. Great location.  Sally was quick to respond to my text messages & checked up on us via text. Will definitely return
2304959,21955734,2014-10-27,4254362,Robert,"The Texas Rockhouse was exactly as I imagined it! The house was perfect for staying in Austin. It is located 5 minute walk to the local grocery store (HEB) which was awesome! Right next to the 35 freeway/Frontage Road which is a great way to get to Downtown! And close to Airport Blvd which is the route to the (duh) Airport! The house was clean, in great order, had everything one would need for an extended stay! I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone! Sally was a gracious and helpful host! Went out of her way to accommodate us! "
2304959,22228610,2014-11-02,19581483,Brandon,"Our host was welcoming and accommodating - two traits that we greatly appreciated.  The rockhouse was clean, well-provisioned, and comfy.  It has an easy location, being next to I-35 and a block from HEB.  And it feels (and for everything we experienced is) safe.  College kids rent the neighboring houses, but it never got too loud (and considering that we were there on Halloween with a 1 year-old, that's saying something).

All in all, a great experience."
2304959,22541044,2014-11-09,4914697,Aaron,"Sally was super helpful in reaching out before I arrived in Austin and her texts showed me she was on top of things from the start. She accommodated my early check-in and late check-out time requests, had stocked the fridge with bottles of water and club soda, and made sure to have coffee on hand (which was actually fabulous). 

Overall a very comfortable experience and would happily rent from her again!"
2304959,23374746,2014-11-30,22717680,Mike,"Description was accurate. A lovely home for us (a couple and our dog). House was furnished with all the necessities and several pantry accessories (coffee, peanut butter, butter, fresh fruit etc). 

The cable TV and Internet were disconnected briefly but Sally was quick to have it back up and running.

Overall, a very carefree and pleasant experience. I'll be looking to the Rock house next time I'm in Austin. "
2304959,23949099,2014-12-15,3278528,Mychal,"We were traveling through on a theater tour and absolutely ADORED the Rockhouse! Sally was wonderful and accommodating and very responsive. The house was clean, well stocked, and adorable- looked even better than the photos! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. "
2304959,24642751,2015-01-01,20772563,Susan,"We had a wonderful experience at the Rock House!! The house was very cozy and charming, and accommodated all of our needs.

2304959,26268254,2015-02-08,4113829,Meagan,"The place was fantastic - exactly as described. It was perfect for our needs (4 adults and two large dogs). The fenced in backyard was amazing and the proximity to everything (central Austin, Hancock center, UT, downtown) was really convenient for us. The house is well kept and the beds are super comfortable (soft). Everything you need for a perfect stay in Austin!"
2304959,26541692,2015-02-15,13455979,Jeffrey,We were extremely happy with our stay. Sally was quickly available whenever we needed her. The house was cozy and clean. We would definitely stay again. 
2304959,27389024,2015-03-03,9637327,Paul,"The Rockhouse  was very comfortable and convenient for our activities in Austin. Our host, Sally was  very quick to respond to any requests we had."
2304959,27929587,2015-03-15,20893929,Dennis,"The True Texas Rock House is a great place to stay if you're visiting Austin. Sally was easy to communicate with and very passionate about the area. The neighborhood was safe and very easy to get to and from all parts of Austin. Her house was clean, comfortable and very livable during our short stay. "
2304959,28173158,2015-03-19,25850353,Kaja,Had a great time! Sally was a very welcoming host and I would definitely recommend her place to a friend. Location was great -very close to downtown
2304959,28431077,2015-03-23,16688073,Kay,"The neighborhood was very quiet & calm. Information on everything needed was easy to find. Wifi was really good. The beds were so soft!! The best sleep, if you do sleep during SXSW! Everything was neat & stocked for guests. Great experience overall."
2304959,28669341,2015-03-28,21062736,Jenny,Beautiful house! Great place to stay :)
2304959,28994602,2015-04-02,28161250,Kim,Sally was very quick in responding to any correspondence we had with her. She was a great host. The house was perfect for us and super clean. She even had high end bathroom supplies and some edibles in the kitchen upon our arrival.  The location was nice for us because we did not rent a car and were able to walk to the local grocery store for food items. We would not hesitate to stay again. Thank you Sally !
2304959,29841434,2015-04-13,7936031,Tara,"Sally was a great host, very quick with her response time and accommodating. The Rockhouse was great and in a perfect location to get anywhere and everywhere! The one drawback was the lack of blackout shades in the bedroom which only bothered us because we were trying to stay on AZ time. Highly recommend booking The Rockhouse for your Austin visit, I know we would again in a heartbeat!"
2304959,30199333,2015-04-19,26929009,Ciara,"The Rockhouse is so perfect. Excellent location, convenient to I-35, HEB, UT Campus, and downtown. Sally has paid a lot of attention to detail to make her guests feel at home during their stay. Every time we thought of something we needed, it was there. The house is the perfect layout for 4 - 6 guests with two bedrooms, two living areas (one with a fold out queen size bed couch), an awesome kitchen, and a lovely back garden. I cannot wait to stay again. "
2304959,31219615,2015-05-03,2458046,Matthew,"Great house, great neighbors, great neighborhood, incredible value.  Within a block of a grocery store, a liquor store, and a coffee shop, and minutes from downtown. Not sure what else you could be looking for in a place to stay. Maybe if they had a breakfast taco tree in the front yard?"
2304959,32373069,2015-05-17,28188992,Ashlee,"We had a wonderful stay at the Rockhouse!  We visited while my husband had work in Austin and I brought my 3 young children and even my 3 dogs!  The house is perfectly located in the heart of Austin and made it perfect for exploring the entire city, we rarely had to get on the highways, which is perfect because they are often congested.  The neighborhood has a lot of people out and about so we felt very safe.

The house is sooooooo cute!  We were impressed from the moment we stepped in.  Its decorated so cute and the beds are so comfortable that I told my husband we need to make our bed at home as comfortable as those!  The backyard was big and perfect for our dogs to run around a little although I would say we didn't leave them unattended as there were some gaps in the chain link and my dogs will stop at nothing to escape.

The house was very clean and the house was well stocked with all of the basics, Sally even bought us some scones.  We had a blast and I would 100% recommend staying here.  I know it will be our first choice next time we are in town."
2304959,32956735,2015-05-24,26058822,Sally,"Sally is a wonderful host!  She is very responsive to all communication.  The True Texas Rockhouse is adorable with a ton of charm.  It is a well equipped home in a nice neighborhood conveniently located near the University and right next to a great supermarket.  It was a rainy stay for us, but we enjoyed our stay inside.  The back yard looks like it would have been a great place to hang out under dry conditions. "
2304959,33746960,2015-05-31,15716353,Elisa,"Sally was a great host! She was very responsive, answered all of my questions and checked in on us during our stay. We were staying in Austin with another couple and the True Texas Rockhouse was perfect for the four of us (and our dog). It's a quick drive to all of the places we visited (South Congress, 6th Street, the Capitol...) and it's walking distance to the HEB (grocery store). We made coffee in the morning and enjoyed hanging out in the sun room. We also enjoyed the pastries that Sally left for us! We'd definitely recommend staying here."
2304959,35579305,2015-06-20,12356611,Ashley,"Our stay at the Rockhouse was perfect. We had everything we needed and my family was very comfortable. The house was cozy and welcoming, it was easy to settle in and make ourselves at home. Having a grocery store basically in the back yard was wonderful and let us spend a lot of time together and visit. We loved that Sally's home was dog friendly, our pups had the best time using the yard. Sally was extremely accessible through email and was very flexible with our check in time. It was an exceptional experience overall."
2304959,37269500,2015-07-05,37267769,Amijoyce,"Great experience! Sally was super responsive & answered all of my questions without fail. Her home was perfect for myself & a few other people. Exactly as described. The backyard & grill were an added bonus.  We will definitely book with this host again. Thank you again, Sally, we really enjoyed our holiday weekend at the Rockhouse. "
2304959,39241993,2015-07-21,1287834,Tonia,"The Rock house was just as described. It is very conveniently located, big plus. Decor was cute and house was clean. Very comfortable stay!"
2304959,40233263,2015-07-29,34875412,Robert,"The Rock House is a lovely, quirky little house in a friendly and quiet neighborhood. Sally was super quick to respond via email, and we felt very welcomed and comfortable. If we are ever back in Austin, we will be sure to stay again."
2304959,46024147,2015-09-07,15687285,Ed,"Sally was a great host and I advise spending some time in her fun and eclectic guest house. My Wife, Sister and Brother-in-Law spent the Labor Day weekend (2015) at ""The Rockhouse"" and found it to be cozy, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed or wanted. This home is located in a very convenient part of Austin and we found that we were usually within 10 min of everywhere we wanted to go. It is now on our very limited list of ""Will return"" locations."
2304959,49842832,2015-10-06,6524431,'Ley,I had a wonderful stay in Austin. He rockhouse was wonderful sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of my days and very comfortable to both work and rest in. 
2304959,51419219,2015-10-19,38450752,Alan,"Sally, was great and very quick to respond and provide all the information needed.

The house was immaculately clean and lovely and quaint. Great location, minutes from everything you need whilst also being peaceful if you want to relax."
2304959,52145959,2015-10-26,2571622,Jesse,Great little house! The location is incredibly convenient.

Comfortable beds, great shower and we even got our clothes washed! We were sad to leave! Thanks heaps Brianna for a great Austin experience!"
8633387,50718344,2015-10-13,45956600,Drew,"Brianna and her housemates were all very nice and accommodating to my needs.  If you need a nice place to stay, I would definitely recommend her place!
"
1741042,11570440,2014-04-07,9030008,Ashley,"Steven's bungalow is beyond charming - it's easy to see the amount of time and care he put into decorating it and making the most of this awesome space.  He was such a pleasure to meet and his home had everything we needed and more! We slept wonderfully and couldn't have asked for a better weekend rental. 
Thanks again, Steven!"
1741042,11977661,2014-04-20,249117,Sandra,"My friends and I loved our stay at Steven's Bungalow! Not only was the location and house absolutely perfect, but so was Steven. He responded quickly and was alway helpful and kind in every interaction. Even though we were only in town for 1 night, we could not have asked for a better experience. Steven's eclectic art, color choices, and furniture were the ideal backdrop for our quick visit. We loved having a few Lonestar's out on the patio before we walked to some nearby bars. We can't wait for our next trip to Austin, so we can book Steven's bungalow. We're hoping we get the chance to sit down and have a beer with him. Thank you so much, Steven. "
1741042,12464036,2014-05-03,5856874,Michaela,"We had such a great time at Steven's place. It had everything we needed- amazing kitchen, great porch to hang out on, central location. 

Steven was a very hospitable host, was always in contact with us and made sure we had everything we needed/were having a good time in Austin. 

We had such a great time in Austin and it was always nice to come home to such a comfortable house to relax in. 

Would definitely recommend staying here! "
1741042,12635440,2014-05-06,624841,Leslie,"I can't rave about this place enough.  For one, our host Steven was a dream.  Communication was on point.  We had a flawless check in, stay and check out.  The house is very cool.  Giant porch, awesome shape, comfortable and cozy rooms.  Terrific kitchen and bathroom.  We had everything we needed and more.. the whole experience was dreamy.  I would definitely stay here again and again and I enthusiastically recommend others to do the same.  Enjoy Austin! "
1741042,12870523,2014-05-12,15226132,Raynor,"My two friends and I stayed at Stevens's place for two nights and had a great time. It was immaculately clean, stylishly decorated, and very comfortable. East Austin was a perfect neighborhood for us. Lots of cool spots full of friendly people. The neighborhood itself is sort of up and coming and there are apparently a few seedy bits, but we didn't notice anything shady at all.  The listing's pictures are spot on. Steven was very quick to respond to our questions. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're visiting I suggest checking out Contiga or High Tower (get the pork jowl) both awesome restaurants pretty close by. This was my first trip to Austin and I absolutely fell in love with city. Get off your butt and go see it now!"
1741042,14123232,2014-06-12,15133530,Denielle,"First of all, the house was wonderful!  Beautifully decorated and everything you will need for a very comfortable stay.  The location is great - close to everything, including the airport.  The neighborhood is very quiet.  Our host, Steven, was very responsive when we had one minor issue with the thermostat - he was there right away and remedied the situation.  This was a very positive experience - much better than staying at a hotel.  I would not hesitate to stay here again - thanks Steven!"
1741042,14658981,2014-06-23,4524906,Lawrence,"Our stay with with Steven was great!  We had 2 couples stay at his place very comfortably.  There were plenty of amenities and the neighborhood was safe and in a great location.  There is no shortage of things to do or places to eat in Austin and as long as you have a car all of those things are very accessible from Steven's place.
We would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend this listing!"
1741042,15343168,2014-07-07,16750882,T G,"Steven is an excellent host who is very kind, accommodating, and thoughtful. His well-appointed Airbnb property is conveniently located on the hip East Side of Austin but his home competes with even the coolest of hangouts on this side of town. We weren't able to meet for check-in but Steven made it as smooth as possible; we did experience any issues and he made himself available for the few minor questions that did arise during our 3-night stay. I had to work remotely for a few hours so the included WiFi and wonderful music library made everything easier; there was also included access to Netflix! Part of the ""charm"" of Texas is the outdoor living so we definitely took advantage of the beautiful porch that runs the length of the west side of the home during a great Texas summer thunderstorm. All in all, an absolutely wonderful experience that I hope to book again!"
1741042,15968767,2014-07-19,6049924,Mike,"My wife and I enjoyed a thoroughly pleasant 12 night stay in Steve’s home. It was not just clean and very well equipped, it was also done with style, quality and panache.
Steve was charming, hospitable and accessible. He has spared no expense, nor thoughtful thought to make your stay in his home very pleasant and pleasing.
Combining the level of comfort and its handy location to both East and West of the 35, it is simply perfect.
The Brugmans"
1741042,16186014,2014-07-22,15817731,Sofia,"We loved the house! Very unique inside, clean and close to downtown!"
1741042,17307329,2014-08-10,8281563,Joerg,"The house is very comfortable and well furnished. All was as expected. Steven was waiting for us despite the late arrival. Thanks Steven for this.

I recommend a stay at the East Side Charmer."
1741042,17484507,2014-08-12,6933665,Alicia,"My two best friends and I decided to take a night away for a girls retreat if sorts, and Stevens' house was the perfect oasis we had hoped for! Beautiful home full if anything and everything we could ever need. Great location for us. We got there and headed right back out to explore. The house was close to cute shops, incredible food and not all too far from downtown as well. After a wonderful nights rest on the most comfortable beds, we quickly ran to the lake for some paddle boarding for a great morning of fun. We had such a great time in this charming and eclectic space and loved it's convenience to everything we were wanting to do! Would absolutely come back!!"
1741042,17863757,2014-08-18,18096662,Amy,"The house was lovely!  Just got back from our fantastic birthday vacation and would totally recommend others looking for a nice cute place to stay that is within a 10 minute drive of everything.  

Steven did a great job decorating the place and it was VERY well maintained.  Beds were super comfortable and we all enjoyed having our coffee/beer on the relaxing porch.  The only down side to this place is that the bathroom is shared between the two bedrooms and there aren't any locks on any of the doors.  I recommend that couples who stay here are very comfortable with each other as no noise is sacred in that bathroom.  "
1741042,18492472,2014-08-27,18383255,Ghassan,The house has 2 BR which is what we needed. Everything was clean & as described. The kitchen has everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet and 5 minutes away from the UT campus where we spent most of our days. Steven checked with us all the time and I met him couple of days before our departure. 
1741042,18888686,2014-09-02,15048882,Sarah,"The East Side Charmer is just that: charming! My girlfriends and I came into town for a long weekend and Steven's beautiful home was one of the best parts of our trip. Great location that is easy to navigate, both for you (if you rent a car) and for drivers (if you use Uber or cabs).

The house is beautiful and trendy as well as clean and well-stocked for guests, including towels, dishes, and other home items that made a vacation better.

Steven was also a wonderful host. He dropped by and made sure we didn't have any questions, gave us a tutorial on the electronics, and even told us of a few places to check out (El Sapo was a highlight of the trip!). "
1741042,19218921,2014-09-08,13860591,Max,"Steven was a wonderful host. His home was clean and welcoming, and he was very courteous in his correspondence, both in real time, and via e-mail.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I lived like a king while in Austin."
1741042,19460682,2014-09-13,4124058,Emily,"We had the most fantastic stay at Steven and Chris's house! They were supremely communicative and gracious hosts, and were great at making sure we had everything we needed. Their home is  gorgeous--the decor is impeccable and the house has everything necessary for a very comfortable stay. We cooked a lot of our meals there, and had all the gadgets and cookware we could have needed. The house is lovely to hang out in and listen to records, watch movies, or relax on the porch, and is also close to all kinds of fun things to do: roller skating (Millennium), downtown, campus, and all kinds of fun restaurants and bars in the surrounding neighborhood (Rosewood/East Austin). We would absolutely stay again!"
1741042,20226323,2014-09-26,1351227,Theresa & Briant,"Steven and Chris's place is splendid! There were four of us that stayed for about a week. Their place is fully equipped and the beds are very comfortable! Their place is also very clean! The house is located in a convenient location just minutes from downtown. A cab ride was less than 10 bucks...I would recommend using Lyft or Uber when in Austin, as the cab drivers never seemed to know where they were going! I would highly recommend staying at Steven's and Chris's place, you'll love it."
1741042,20926763,2014-10-07,21748415,Jack,Steven and Chris's place is great if you are looking for a place to stay! They are very accommodating and checked in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.  There were four of us that stayed 3 days and nights. Their place is very clean and comes fully equipped!  The house is located in a convenient location just a short cab/uber ride to downtown. I would highly recommend staying at Steven's and Chris's place!
1741042,21077329,2014-10-11,466877,Greg,"We loved this house! Steve and Chris made us feel super welcome and checking in was a synch. The house has a ton of character and a lot of nice details. It's in a cute neighborhood that's not too far from all the happening spots of East Austin. A great place to spend a weekend in Austin, for sure."
1741042,21296073,2014-10-14,21237849,Jordan,"We had a great stay at the home of Steven and Chris! The description and photos were perfectly accurate and communication was a breeze! The location of this property is amazing. There are countless restaurants, bars and food trailers all within a 5 mile radius (some are even walking distance). Downtown is very close as well. The beds were comfortable, shower is nice, the home has WIFI, stereo, nice size TV, fully stocked kitchen and everything one could want. I highly reccomend staying here and I would stay again if travelling to Austin!"
1741042,21590269,2014-10-20,2891085,Greg And Shelli,"Steven and Chris's place is beautiful, and exactly as pictured. The hosts were very attentive - they got in touch several times before and during the stay to check whether we needed anything. Would highly recommend this airbnb, and would definitely stay again on a future visit to Austin. "
1741042,21945458,2014-10-27,207514,Jill,We had so much fun staying here! Chris and Steve were great hosts. They were super accommodating and made us feel right at home. Their home is super cute and clean. We were able to walk to some nearby spots and really enjoyed the neighborhood. Highly recommended!
1741042,22116153,2014-10-30,4367176,Adriane,We loved staying at Steven and Chris's! The listing is exactly as described. Just as beautiful as the photos but also very homey...the perfect place to come home to after a long day of touring Austin. I would highly recommend staying here. Steven was also very quick to respond to messages which made planning and communication a breeze. They also left very detailed notes/messages answering every question before I could even ask!
1741042,22191915,2014-11-01,2141392,Sarah,"We really lucked out with this place - it was in the area we wanted to stay in, the right size and rate, and had style and comfort that inspired me to go home and do more with my own space. We didn't meet Chris and Steven in person but they made themselves available for anything we might need and that was appreciated. Drinking our coffee on the porch in the morning was a nice bonus for us east coasters who wanted to enjoy the nice weather! Would stay again. "
1741042,22326763,2014-11-03,22681736,Ann,"What a charming home in a great pocket of the east side. The home is so comfortable and beautifully decorated, it is close to bars and restaurants, yet on a quiet block so you can get a good night's sleep as well. I would have liked to have had enough time to sit on the porch and sip a glass of wine, but the weekend flew by too quickly. Chris and Steven were so helpful and accommodating, if their house is available for my next trip, I'd definitely book it again.  "
1741042,22412095,2014-11-05,18567953,Erin,"I traveled to Austin on a business trip this November and, rather than crashing in a generic hotel, chose to stay in Steven and Chris's wonderful home. Not only does it look like a centerfold from Dwell magazine, it is meticulously clean and comfortable. In a quiet but close-in neighborhood on the East side, easy access to downtown and the local and restaurants. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating, and I will definitely look to stay here again next time I come to Austin!"
1741042,22578918,2014-11-10,16197293,Madeline,"Super welcoming hosts! The apartment was cozy and well kept, and quite possibly the most comfortable beds ever! "
1741042,22768378,2014-11-14,21176871,Garrett,"Steven and Chris' home was my first experience with AirBnB. All I can say is that it exceeded my expectations by a long shot! They were the BEST hosts. They where there when we needed them with information on what cool restaurants and bars to check out, etc. Their home was beyond perfect. From the incredible decor of the space to the super comfortable beds, their little home nestled right outside of downtown is the PERFECT space. Me and my buddies felt completely at home and even found ourselves just chilling at the space a few times instead of rushing into the city, that's how comfortable we felt. Thank you guys both for allowing us to stay at your awesome home. "
1741042,22885782,2014-11-17,6200491,Jean Noel,"Chris and Steven's place is lovely and full of charm. It's located in a quiet corner of East Austin and only a 5 min drive to Downtown. The house is full of quirky touches and mid-century furniture. It's very well equipped, we thoroughly enjoyed the Nespresso coffee maker and and the washer and dryer. Steven was very quick to respond to our questions and suggested a few places for live music too. The bed was huge and super comfortable. Shame the cold and wet weather didn't allow us to take advantage of the porch area. And it really is a lived in house, not a bland space with no soul like so many now on offer on Airbnb.
"
1741042,23158140,2014-11-24,22509371,Dusty,Everything was exactly as advertised. The place was warm and inviting. The beds were comfortable. Every little thing you could need in a vacation rental was provided. Location was perfect for literally anything you could want to do in Austin. Steven and Chris' home made our vacation about as perfect as you could want it to be. I couldn't recommend staying here more.
1741042,23273071,2014-11-27,17577070,Ruth,"Steven and Chris were the perfect hosts!  They were extremely responsive to our needs, and the house fit our requirements perfectly.  It was 10 minutes from St. David's Medical Center, which was the purpose of our visit.  The beds were comfortable, and the house had charming decor and accents.  We really enjoyed the TV and sound system for movies.  The porch made us feel like we were back in time, and we sat out on both porches in the evenings.  Do note their suggestions for places to visit.  I highly recommend this house and these hosts."
1741042,23703261,2014-12-08,23719842,Ryan,"Chris and Steven were excellent hosts! Their home was as beautiful as the pictures shown and they made us feel very welcome. They were willing to share recommendations for things to do/places to eat and even made themselves available for a drink (unfortunately we missed the opportunity). At the same time, they were willing to provide complete privacy (depending on the type of interaction their guests wanted). 

I would certainly recommend this AirBnB not only because of the gracious hosts and beautiful home, but also because the proximity to the city. It is no more than a 5 minute drive to the heart of downtown and conveniently located off the highway."
1741042,23864967,2014-12-13,162084,Marta,"I could not wished for a better place . The house is gorgeous, really nice size, with two great rooms. Everything was just perfect. Also Steve and Chris were super nice and made sure we had everything we needed and that we arrived well."
1741042,24404030,2014-12-28,21250789,Martha,Chris and Steven were very welcoming. They checked in with before and after arrival to make sure everything was in order and to ask if we had any questions. They left of a welcoming gift of a 6-pack of Christmas Ale. The house was spotless and we had everything we needed.
1741042,24638275,2015-01-01,4647491,Karen,"We just returned from our stay at Steven and Chris' lovely Austin home.  It was available when we arrived and we found it just as advertised.  Lots of room and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.  Our hosts texted us several times to make sure we had everything we needed.  We were hanging out with our daughter who lives nearby, so we didn't cook, but we could have made anything we wanted in the superbly equipped kitchen.  The side porch was super inviting and if the weather had cooperated I could see many beverages being consumed in the cool atmosphere.  All in all a great visit.  I forgot to add, the beds are really really comfortable.  Thanks Steven and Chris!"
1741042,25235180,2015-01-10,6383366,Kerry,Steven and Chris' place was amazing! It is beautiful and comfortable (particularly the amazing King bed)! They were wonderful with communication. 
1741042,25596462,2015-01-20,2027949,Amour,Steven and Chris's place was absolutely adorable and a great home base for a couples weekend in Austin.  The Jack-and-Jill bathroom worked out for everyone.  The memory foam toppers on the beds were nice.  The boys got a bit of use out of the coffee maker and were grateful it was there for use.  The porch was also very nice to hang out on since it was an oddly beautiful January weekend.  Overall we had a great time.  Thanks!  
1741042,25844722,2015-01-27,24736041,Amy,This was my first airbnb experience and it honestly was perfect. The house was just as described and more stunning in person. So charming and cozy! Steven and Chris were great hosts and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. If I'm every in Austin again I would definitely stay here
1741042,26299108,2015-02-09,2101722,Matthew,The home was absolutely charming and welcoming. A perfect abode for our three night stay in Austin. Chris and Steve made everything simple and accessible. Highly recommend.
1741042,26739239,2015-02-18,11996396,Darcy,"Steven & Chris's house was just the perfect spot for me and my two college girlfriends' trip to Austin.  It is a very beautiful, clean, and indeed charming house.  You can tell they put a lot of care into all the details and it really translates, makes you feel right at home.  Though we were out painting the town red most of the time we were so happy we had our East Side Charmer to lay our heads down and regroup for our next adventure.  The beds are HEAVENLY, can't say enough about that! Everything was smooth with our check-in and check-out, overall it was all very seamless thanks to Steven and Chris's looking out. The best part about it is the location, we always ended up down at the bars that are down on East 6th Street, White Horse Forever! "
1741042,27052608,2015-02-24,25602392,Tiffany,"I can't say enough about this house & it's hosts!  Nicely appointed home with beautiful decor, easily accessible to anything you want to do around town & less than 30min from Lake Travis, with only a quick hop to the airport!  We were in town with another couple for a wedding & it was lovely to come
back at the end of our daily celebrations and relax in the comfort of this 'East Side Charmer'  :)"
1741042,27159041,2015-02-27,4266623,Dave,"What a great experience I had staying at Chris and Steven's place...a relaxing, remarkably tidy space to enjoy my time in, really charming decor and very comfy accommodations, and meeting my hosts made the visit even more memorable. An added plus is how much fun the neighborhood is - and so centrally located to everyplace I needed to go. I wouldn't hesitate to book a stay here on my future Austin trips. Thanks for such an enjoyable time. "
1741042,27385531,2015-03-03,24473254,Kim,"East Side Charmer was exactly that!   Steven & Chris were great and everything was just as stated and pictured.  There were 4 of us and we were amazed at how our hosts used every bit of space to its advantage and showed it off with that pop of color.  Location was very good, we were able to easily drive everywhere quickly and for those few nights we didn't want to drive Uber was always only 3 - 5 min. away.  The beds were so comfortable we all slept in longer then we intended!        Would stay there again and recommend it for anyone visiting the Austin area.   There is a great porch that would be nice to sit and relax between adventures but weather did not permit us that particular enjoyment."
1741042,27642945,2015-03-09,19927839,Alexander,"This place was everything we were looking for, and we really enjoyed staying here! The decor is really fun, it's clear that these guys love their home, and we could easily tell that they put a lot of care into designing every room. The large main room that contains the open kitchen, living room, and dining room was a great space to hang out in for the four of us before we went out each evening. We enjoyed the fact that there was a sound system, nice smart tv with netflix, and even a record player that we were able to play some of the new records on that we purchased while exploring the city.

The house is located in a convenient spot in East Austin and we were easily able to get around town. We took Ubers everywhere, and we never had to wait long for a driver to show up.

Steven and Chris were nice enough to let us keep our bags at the house a few hours past the checkout time since we had a late flight, which we really appreciated. 

If you're looking for a fun, cozy, hip place to stay in East Austin, this place would be a great spot for two to four people! Highly recommended."
1741042,28391915,2015-03-23,24671391,Tara,"We loved staying here. Steven and Chris were so accommodating and the flat is stunning. It has all you need for a short or long stay, is in a great location for SXSW and we're hoping to return next year."
1741042,28519990,2015-03-25,27130977,Sasha,Steven and Chris were super great.  They even recommended some amazing places to eat lunch before we even checked in.  The house was super cute and cozy.  (Not to mention the I-never-want-to-get-up comfy beds!) 
1741042,28602640,2015-03-27,14253495,Lauren,"Steven and Chris's home was an absolute dream. Everything was pristine, comfortable, and just as charming as the photos. The porch was lovely to hang out on during the warm afternoons, and though we didn't get a chance to do any cooking during our stay, the kitchen looked very well stocked. Restaurants, bars, coffee, and Austin B-Cycle were within easy walking distance, and the neighborhood was quiet and friendly. I couldn't recommend this home more highly -- hopefully I will get a chance to go back soon!
"
1741042,28981345,2015-04-02,13191090,Jing,"We had a great time staying at Steven and Chris' home in Austin. They're in a great location, with a lot of great lighting and the overall usage of a smaller space. Overall, awesome."
1741042,29387713,2015-04-07,26075185,James,"Couldn't have asked for or received a better first experience with AirBNB. Steven & Chris were communicative, helpful and most accommodating for my trip to Austin. House was exactly as advertised: welcoming, comfortable, clean and bright. Super location, very easy for my group to get where we wanted to go. They were also extremely understanding when we had a mishap with the shower that required repair! Would recommend this place to anyone. "
1741042,29678318,2015-04-11,28641771,Sarah,The house is so homey and cute! Steven and Chris were welcoming and amazing hosts! Would love to come back! 
1741042,29812738,2015-04-13,24590787,Paula,"Everything was exactly as described and photographed. The home was impeccably clean and pristine. Lovely sitting area out front under a covered porch and extremely comfortable beds. Steven and Chris were very hospitable and checked in with us during our stay. There were four of us staying here for a wedding in Austin and we were extremely comfortable. So much better than staying in a hotel! Thanks again, Chris and Steven."
1741042,30778906,2015-04-27,24490778,Billy,Gorgeous house on a quiet street. Perfect place for a couple visiting Austin. Convenient location. Near good food and drinks. 15 minutes to the airport. We'd return in a heartbeat. 
1741042,31044003,2015-05-01,15737176,Adena,"Steven and Chris were very responsive to our emails before we arrived so we had all the information necessary.  Steven came over the first night and made sure we had all we needed.  The location was great for us, as we could easily get to the capitol. the museums, the wildflower garden, etc.  The beds were extremely comfortable and we liked waking up to sunshine and birdsong and a well-equipped kitchen.  Our last evening we ate supper on the open porch and felt so at home there.  We were so glad we had stayed there and not at a motel!  
This is a neighborhood in transition and this house is one of the beautifully rehabbed ones.  It was amazing what Chris and Steven have done with less than 1000 square feet - it has a great open feeling and many clever features and two porches.  
We are three older ladies and we enjoyed staying in a trendier home (the decoration was amazing) than we usually encounter.  We're not hip folks yet, but hey . . . "
1741042,32325896,2015-05-17,5101091,Heather,Steven and Chris made us feel so welcome! They greeted us on arrival and made sure we had everything we needed. They also touched base to make sure we were doing ok. They gave us great cafe recommendations (go to figure 8 for coffee and cenote for breakfast YUM!) The house was better than we ever could have imagined. EXTREMELY comfortable beds. Although it was cosy it was great for 4 people. They decor was amazing. We love Austin and we hope to return to Steven and Chris' soon! :)
1741042,32732273,2015-05-20,249117,Sandra,"Steven & Chris were amazing hosts! We stayed with them a year ago and knew we would return because we had such a great first stay. We got married a day before our stay & just needed a last minute getaway spot before returning home. Steven & Chris were super accommodating & even brought over a sweet congratulatory card and bottle of wine. They have a beautiful home and continue to provide a warm and welcoming experience. They are our favorite Airbnb hosts! We'll return for sure. Thank you guys! 
Xoxo
Sandra & Francis. "
1741042,33219304,2015-05-26,13531416,Mimi,The house was great - very clean and well maintained. Steven and Chris were readily available and very flexible! We really appreciated their effort to welcome us to their home.
1741042,33831487,2015-06-01,1351404,Ross,"By chance, we were lucky to meet Steve and Chris on their way out.  Great hosts, with good info on things to do in Austin, etc.  Made us feel right at home.  The place is just great; comfortable, airy and bright.  Conducive for hanging out and relaxing.  This is a special place, and really my favorite so far in the Airbnb world.  "
1741042,34060930,2015-06-04,26508787,Andi,"Steven and Chris were great hosts providing a cute, comfortable place for our stay in Austin. Quite neighborhood and good location for getting around. We will stay again if we make it back!"
1741042,34418469,2015-06-08,1919627,Rob,"What a fun spot. Steven and Chris have designed a comfortable, clean, and unique oasis in the middle of East Austin. What's not to like with Sam's BBQ a block away? My friend and I called it ""Hacienda Taxidermy"" for it's fun animal themed walls. The porch is an amazing place to drink beer and enjoy the quiet of the neighborhood.  Thx again guys. "
1741042,35006898,2015-06-14,10085633,Sara + Kelsey,What a cute house! Steven and Chris were great hosts. The house was clean and well-maintained and it smells great because of their excellent choice in candles. It's in a cute neighborhood and the apartment is bright and convenient. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it!
1741042,35202231,2015-06-16,16106587,Julie,"Steven and Chris are great hosts! Very helpful, accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house is exactly as described and the photos don't do it justice as to how adorable and well decorated it is. The beds are super comfortable as well. I would  recommend this place to anyone."
1741042,36111291,2015-06-25,385578,Kira,"Steven and Chris's house is just as lovely as it looks in the photos, if not more so. If you're interested in design, it's definitely one for you - it's filled with perfectly thought out details. There's also a terrifically big, comfortable bed, so it's great if you need to catch up on sleep. As hosts, Steven and Chris made the whole experience incredibly straightforward, easy and relaxed. A really special place to stay."
1741042,36427771,2015-06-28,1976492,Brooke,"Driving up to the house on New York Ave, it was clear we were in for more than we bargained for.  The house is canopied by a huge tree with an inviting porch that spans the length of the house. Also situated next to a green space.  The interiors of the home were spotless, beautiful and inspiring.  Great communication and thoughtful hosting lead to a seamless experience and I can not wait to get back. I will rebook this house.  "
1741042,37288875,2015-07-06,11802092,Lauren,"This property was an absolute dream. The photographs are fantastic, but it looks EVEN better in person. It's artistic, and fun... We kept discovering new things we loved about it. Close to a really good taco spot, in a trendy area of town, and easily accessible to go galavanting for the evening. It was my first stay in Austin, and I would 100% come back again. I love Airbnb, and this is by far the best property I've stayed in so far. A triple plus!!!! Stay here!!!!"
1741042,38412376,2015-07-15,9395783,Claire,"Our stay in Austin at Steven and Chris' home could not have been more perfect. Great neighbourhood, close to some really awesome drinking, food and music spots (many of which were recommendations from Steven and Chris, thank you!!) Getting downtown via Uber was super easy (cost about $5 and max. 10 mins). 
The house is even better than pictured and had everything we needed for a very comfortable trip. I hope to come back to Austin so I can stay here again!!"
1741042,39095595,2015-07-20,37933803,Emily,Great little house. My husband and I spent three nights in Austin with friends and this was just what we were looking for. Location was awesome for getting to any area of Austin and the house itself is super cute and uniquely decorated. We would definitely stay here again when traveling with another couple.
1741042,39503529,2015-07-24,4266623,Dave,"As before, Steven and Chris' home was the perfect, charming and quiet oasis to relax and be comfortable in during my Austin visit. Their hospitality was warm and friendly, the house itself was beautiful and spotless, and I couldn't ask for a cooler, more central neighborhood to stay in. Thanks once more for a great stay!"
1741042,40425471,2015-07-31,4725799,Sarah,"AMAZING. The home is so stylish and definitely adds to the feeling of being on vacation in a new place. We couldn't get over how comfortable the beds were too. There's an awesome bar and food truck in walking distance called Whislers. Steven and Chris were so responsive, kind and very helpful. We would most definitely stay here again!"
1741042,41228712,2015-08-05,28491283,Erin,"My friends and I stayed at Chris & Steven's beautiful home last week, and we loved it!
Their house is small but comfortable & suitable for 2 couples or 4 good friends.
Being able to wash our clothes & sleep in their comfy beds was great after travelling for 2 weeks. Steven & Chris's kind hospitality made us feel right at home.
The location is great, as it's close and accessible to the great sites of Austin, but the street is nice and quiet.
We enjoyed spending time with Chris, Steven & their friends and will definitely be staying there again next time we're in Austin.
"
1741042,42009285,2015-08-10,11368,Caroline,"We had a fun weekend in Austin and loved staying at the cute bungalow of Steven and Chris!  
The house is perfectly set up, with every little well-thought-out detail.  The kitchen and sitting area are open, with high ceilings, and the bedrooms are perfectly situated to share the bathroom.  The patio is super cute.   All of the furnishings reflected their Texas heritage.  You can tell that they put a lot of love into the decor!  
If you are looking to an alternative to the typical hotel experience, then this is the place for you!  It's close to everything that East Austin has to offer and is only a short uber ride away from all of the great hot spots like Justine's and Launderette.  We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay!  "
1741042,43774019,2015-08-22,7046271,Kara,"Steven and Chris have a beautiful place! We absolutely loved our stay and really would recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Austin. 

We took an Uber into the centre which was less than 8 dollars each time. We also felt very safe and loved the decor!

Thank you so much! "
1741042,46111958,2015-09-08,16908957,Elise,"East Side Charmer was everything that we hoped. It was warm and welcoming, comfortable, clean, and the neighborhood is perfectly accessible to everything. There were four of us staying and it was the perfect size space. You can tell that the owners take a lot of pride in their home and in hosting others. 

We couldn't recommend it more highly!"
1741042,46951577,2015-09-14,10910714,Kaitlin,The home was beautiful and immaculately decorated. Steven and Chris were very hospitable. The East Side of Austin is the best side. 
1741042,49895748,2015-10-07,41864792,Joseph,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and it was great.  We came during the first weekend of Austin City Limits when finding an affordable hotel was impossible. Finding such a nice, convenient place at a reasonable rate made our trip possible.  The house was as described.  It was clean and comfortable and the decor was interesting to look at.
Thanks guys!"
1741042,50426674,2015-10-12,4400981,Jeanne,"Excellent communication and a beautiful space. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Everything we needed, and then some, at this lovely home. Highly recommend!"
1741042,50967217,2015-10-16,31128731,Brook,"Steve and Chris' place was perfect in every way. It was clean, a great size for the three of us, fully equipped with everthing we needed, close enough to the action (proving you have your own transport which is necessary in all Texan cities), and pre-cooled on our arrival (a very hot day!). We also met Steve who was really welcoming and helpful during our stay. Special mentions towards the amazing interior decorating and fun turntable and vinyl collection. Couldn't recommend highly enough! Thanks Steve and Chris for a great stay!"
1741042,51425991,2015-10-20,19452889,Boo,"Truly a charmer. Steven and Chris were great hosts. They checked in on us regularly and we always felt at home in their home. Thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. The porch was a definite plus. 

Relatively convenient to restaurants, bars, etc., but location isn't the reason to stay here. 

"
1741042,52129658,2015-10-26,13350597,Kip,"This is a fantastic house, I'm really glad I chose it for my trip to Austin. The hosts are great too, the house was spotless when we arrived. I'd recommend this spot to anyone visiting Austin."
1741042,52354271,2015-10-28,15741265,Berto,"East Side Charmer was the perfect place to stay for our couple nights in Austin. The house is in a quiet neighborhood that is super close to everything including 6th Street (less than $5 Uber!). The house itself was rad. We loved all the character and effort Steven & Chris put into the decor. As others have mentioned, if the weather is right, the porch is a perfect spot to sip on some coffee in the morning. 

Steven was very communicative before and during our stay and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!"
1741042,52822546,2015-11-02,14100112,Katie,The East side charmer was a cute and cozy location close to downtown. It was extremely convenient to all the central locations in Austin.  The place was nicely put together and clean. Thanks for having us! 
1741042,53240548,2015-11-07,10588041,Angela,"We had such a great time at Steven and Chris' place! They were so friendly and their house is incredibly well-decorated and cozy. The location was within 10 minutes of almost everywhere we wanted to go as well, which was such a relief. I would definitely stay here again."
4117003,28067171,2015-03-17,18222027,Carolyna,We couldn't have asked for a better host for SXSW! Christine's house was beautiful and perfectly comfortable for our group of 11. We especially enjoyed the outdoor fire pit!
4117003,49584882,2015-10-05,15050610,Megan,The house was perfect for our visit. We were in town for ACL and it was just over a mile walk to the gates which was perfect. The house was very clean and updated with all the amenities we needed. We slept 9 comfortably in the house. Christy was a super great host and left us a bottle of champagne as a thank you for staying with her. We had a great weekend here. 
4117003,50426110,2015-10-12,30697944,Jonathan,"Our host left a complimentary bottle of champagne and some Orange Juice, which was a really nice touch. The house was amazing and extremely comfortable for our group. 

The house is about a 15-20 minute walk to Zilker Park, which was great for our travel to and from ACL. 

Christine was also a pleasure to work with."
357529,1008709,2012-03-17,676990,Elizabeth,"Renee's house was the perfect place to unwind amidst the SXSW craziness. It was close enough to bike ride to downtown and only a $8 cab ride (when we could get one!). It's also super close to the bus stop (7 min walk, 5 minute ride downtown), and the bus proved to be really convenient and the best option. 

The house itself is really fantastic, clean, beautiful kitchen, modern decor and really comfortable. Great back porch and yard. Everything was exactly as advertised. I loved it and would absolutely stay there again. I would strongly recommend Renee and her house to anyone visiting Austin."
357529,3780106,2013-03-14,4717346,Kate,"We loved our stay at Renee's house for SXSWi 2013. We ended up walking to the convention center each morning, which was a good way to start the day (about 40 minutes to walk, if you're speedy), and then taking taxis back to the house each night for about $10-$15. The house is very charming, beautiful, and clean. The beds and the couch are quite comfy, and the back porch and backyard are truly inviting. Renee was even kind enough to stock a few groceries for us, which illustrates how determined she is to provide a great place to stay. Someday, I hope to get the chance to spend time there again. "
357529,8083937,2013-10-15,8345541,Layna,"I stayed at Renee's home with 3 friends for ACL 2013.  We had a wonderful time and all four of us agreed that we would definitely stay there again whenever we get back to Austin.  Renee's house is lovely, modern, clean and just felt like such a sanctuary at the end of each festival day.  The back porch and yard are wonderful.  Renee went above and beyond to make our stay a delightful experience.  Thank you, Renee!!"
357529,10917588,2014-03-13,211765,Jesper,"The 3 of us stayed here during SXSW and it was absolutely perfect. Fantastic & fresh place both on the in- and outside and we enjoyed our stay here a lot. The front- and backyard are great for hanging out and grilling.

We borrowed bikes and it took us no more than 12-15 minutes to get to the centre. Also very close to South Congress and Barton Springs. 

You can't get a better host than Renee! We had good communication both before and during our stay. She went the extra mile to make sure we enjoyed our stay and were comfortable - and even helped us get to the airport after our stay. 

We all loved Renees place and WILL stay here again. :)
"
357529,11009979,2014-03-17,2299554,Lauren,"Renee's house was perfect for our trip to austin for SXSW, She was super helpful and accommodating during our stay. The house is just as it seems in the pictures, very cozy, quiet and clean. After spending all day in the loud streets downtown for SXSW it was very nice to come retreat to the house and sit outside by the fire. Highly recommend this place and especially Renee. Thanks for the great stay!    "
357529,21193103,2014-10-13,15288707,Juliette,"This house was perfect for our stay and Renee went above and beyond to accommodate us! 

A group of friends and I were in town for ACL and the combination of nice accommodations and walking distance to the park made our trip ideal. The house was a perfect size and plenty of living space to hang out, cook and enjoy family style meals. 

I would most certainly recommend this place to anyone that asked. We had an amazing time and would come back in a heart beat!"
357529,23318094,2014-11-29,4647521,Andrew,"This was the perfect Austin rental for my small family. The Zilker neighborhood is an ideal base for exploring Austin; close to South Congress, great restaurants, and walking distance from my favorite ice cream shop (Lick)! Its a great walking neighborhood, and its easy to get to Zilker park, several playgrounds, Barton Springs, and the Umlaut Sculpture gardens. The house was clean and zen-like -- simple and beautiful. Our host has set-up the house very simply, but very comfortably (clutter-free). She had everything we needed including coffee! We will definitely be back the next time we are in Austin -- this is the perfect house rental! Thank you!!!"
357529,25311781,2015-01-12,21596354,Alex,Great clean place!  Renee was very nice and even had some fruit and wine waiting for us.  Very accommodating.  Thanks Renee
357529,26532600,2015-02-15,15786805,Frederic,"Renee was an excellent host. She was accommodating to our time schedule on both the check-in and departure and she stocked the kitchen with some fresh fruit that was much appreciated. The place was very clean and well suited for our stay. There are some great books to be found around the house and AppleTV is loaded up in the living room, both are nice touches for those considering an extended stay. 

The location of the place is also a a real selling point. For those visiting in the summer, it's right around the corner from Barton Springs / Zilker Park and short drive to downtown Austin. I would certainly stay here again and highly recommend Renee's place to others. "
357529,26924158,2015-02-22,26359919,Simone,"Clean, comfortable, well appointed and in a great location is how I would describe this listing. Renee, the owner and very kind hostess, was both attentive and respectful during our stay; she made us feel very welcome.  The house is in a remarkably quiet and attractive neighborhood close to excellent restaurants, entertainment, parks and shopping.  I have stayed downtown at Austin's 4-star hotels and this was a far more comfortable and relaxing stay.  We have every intention of booking here again when next in Austin.  "
357529,27107700,2015-02-25,27646000,May,"Renee was an amazing, thoughtful host.  My family was truly relaxed at her home which is very peaceful and calming.  Comfy beds, incredible kitchen, beautiful dining room and great furniture.  We didn't want to leave and actually spent most of our trip just relaxing at her place.  She even had fresh fruit and coffee there for us.  We can't wait to get back!!!"
357529,27356101,2015-03-02,5796763,Ls,"Renee's place was charming, clean and tidy. We had a great experience in her property. She provided great coffee & comfy beds. We would definitely stay here again. "
357529,27586157,2015-03-08,5500722,Christie,We had a wonderful stay at Renee's home.  The location was perfect and convenient to both the park/running trails as well as nightlife and restaurants.  The home was exactly as described on the site and the beds were amazingly comfortable.  Renee was a fantastic host and was very responsive to all of our questions.  I would highly recommend  and would definitely stay here again when in Austin!
357529,27838757,2015-03-13,1428480,John,"Renee was an outstanding host, with everything prepared in advance for easy check-in. The house itself is beautiful, exactly as depicted in the photos. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with some incredible dining options within walking distance."
357529,28295414,2015-03-22,3363299,Margaret,"Renee is a consummate host. She had my favorite drinks plus sparkling water waiting in the fridge when I arrived along with a helpful note about her home.

She also allowed myself and a friend to borrow bicycles and a bike lock and even a rain jacket when I forgot mine. Her house was lovely and exactly as described in her listing. The neighborhood was an easy bike ride to downtown (I was in Austin for SXSW), most of it along a bike path.

Renee was responsive to all questions, even when she had to leave town for a few days. I would definitely stay here again."
357529,28695902,2015-03-29,24491333,Susie,"Everything about the Zilker house was perfect. It was darling and comfortable, we had everything we needed to truly enjoy Austin. The neighborhood is very close to downtown, eclectic and cooly arty. Very Austin. Absolutely loved staying there."

357529,29435553,2015-04-07,12002967,Kevyn,"We loved our stay at Renee's place. Its just like the pictures! She had bread, eggs, and coffee available for us and the beds were really comfortable. Lyft and Uber drivers kept commenting on what a great neighborhood we were in. We walked to South Congress one day and down the street to Barton Springs and Shady Grove. We would absolutely stay here again! "
357529,29836503,2015-04-13,28440172,Philip,"The previous weekend I had the pleasure of staying in Renee's beautiful house in Austin, Texas. It was clean, spacious, and had just the right amount of light. The house has everything you might need and is very comfortable as well. I recommend this house as highly as possible if you are looking for an attractive, uncluttered, and low-key place to stay while in the heart of Zilker Park. Our host, Renee, was very helpful and communicative. Recommended!"
357529,31319250,2015-05-04,17381010,Alison,Renee was a fantastic and very helpful host! The house was perfect and exactly as described. The location is in a really fun and convenient neighborhood. We will be back!
357529,31736697,2015-05-09,1673533,Steven,"Renee is the best! Her place is beautiful, super cozy, and the neighborhood is a great area to stroll around. The home is very well thought out with a lot of nice details I appreciate (deep kitchen sink, dimmable recessed ceiling lighting, etc).

I was able to focus on some writing (it's located in a nice quiet neighborhood) and enjoy quick access to the city. The price was more than fair for the space and experience here.

Thanks again, Renee!"
357529,32579850,2015-05-19,1255986,Joshua,"Renee made it very easy to check in and was very accommodating.  The basket of organic fruit was a nice touch and great to have around for a healthy snack. The house is great and in an amazing neighborhood. So close to downtown and all the exciting things to do in Austin. Lots of restaurants and food trucks close by.
I would definitely stay again next time I am in Austin. "
357529,33245187,2015-05-26,29799679,James,"This is a delightful home in a cozy neighborhood with beautiful shade trees and a real community feel. The house was as advertised, extremely well kept and offering everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Our host even left coffee for us!"
357529,34534736,2015-06-09,17572946,Leslie,"Renee's place was perfect for our trip and I would highly recommend it! The house was simple, comfortable, cozy yet modern and came stocked with natural soaps, fruit and bubbly water!

The neighborhood was beautiful, very quiet, but also walkable to Barton Springs and other destination areas like South 1st.

Renee lives in a back house on the same property and was there for any needs, but very respectful of our privacy as well. 

We were sad to leave and hopeful to return one day!"
357529,34961405,2015-06-14,31888122,Betsy,"My sister and I had a wonderful stay at Renee's very cozy and clean home. She stocked us up with some wonderful drinks and we were in want of nothing. The sink started leaking and a plumber was there right away to take a look at it. Her home is in a great location. The beds were very comfortable. There is a darling sitting area on the front lawn with remote controlled lighting. It was nice sitting out there and watching the lightening bugs, but don't forget your citronella essential oil to keep away the mosquitos! I forgot about those guys and got eaten alive! I would definitely stay in this home next time I'm in Austin. Thanks, Renee!"
357529,37227256,2015-07-05,29893339,Adel,"My husband, three year-old son and I recently enjoyed a wonderful visit to Austin.  Renee's home is relaxing and peaceful, perfectly located for visiting Zilker Park, Barton Springs, and just a short drive to all the amazing restaurants and trucks on Lamar.  There was a basket of fruit - we shared a delicious peach every day - as well as freshly ground coffee and organic half and half.  The kitchen had enough essentials to heat up leftovers and cook a couple meals and there were freezer packs to take food along to the Greenbelt for swimming and keep my son's snacks cold.  We had pretty much everything we needed without any clutter.  Renee checked in on us and made us feel welcome without being intrusive.  We would most definitely stay there if we visit again."
357529,40160981,2015-07-28,18975253,Saima,We loved our stay. The house as well as neighbourhood was perfect in terms of location and closeness to restaurants and shops.  Our 11 year old son enjoyed swimming at Barton Springs Pool.  We had a very relaxing and fun stay.  Thank you Renee for being a perfect host!
357529,40985846,2015-08-03,32547219,Jessye,"Renee left wonderful directions, some fresh fruit for us, and was available for any questions that we had. The house was absolutely adorable and perfectly decorated - her taste is amazing! One bedroom was huge and had a large king bed the other was a bit smaller but the bed still could have easily fit two people. We were about a 5 minute uber from everywhere we wanted to go downtown. Also, the place is about a 10 minute walk from Barton Springs, which was awesome in the 100 degree heat. "
357529,44053275,2015-08-23,1643453,Yara,"Renee's place was wonderful. Great location, amenities, and beautifully decorated (with lots of awesome books!). More than that, Renee was such an accommodating host. She was communicative and accommodating throughout the whole stay and even left treats for my arrival! Recommend Renee's place for anyone traveling to Austin. "
357529,45999230,2015-09-07,31091816,Preeti,Renee was extremely sweet and helpful. Very responsive to my questions. 
357529,47494165,2015-09-19,3519803,David,"Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. We have used Airbnb over a dozen times but this was our best experience so far. Renee was warm, responsive, and provided a lovely house in a quiet neighborhood of Austin. The house is well cared for, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and extremely well-equipped (everything provided from kitchen to bathroom including some breakfast food-  very thoughtful). Beautiful hardwood floors, lots of windows and light, and modern air conditioning and appliances. Did I say spotlessly clean? Well, worth a repeat. Renee also provided a great local guidebook. I would stay here again in a minute and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Austin who wants to get away from the noise and crowding of the city (yet only a short ride or walk to downtown or  a lovely park)."
357529,48134271,2015-09-23,4523564,Jonas,"Renee was a great host, and we felt welcome and at home in her lovely house. The décor was tasteful and the location was perfect. I highly recommend Zilker Home. Thanks for a great experience."
357529,49587054,2015-10-05,30832694,Suzanne,"What a wonderful place to stay! The house was in a beautiful neighborhood on a quiet street. We loved the house! It was charming, cozy, comfortable and close to everything. Renee made sure we had everything we needed. She thought of every extra touch! Renee is an awesome host and we look forward to staying at her welcoming home in the future."
357529,50079342,2015-10-09,41667907,Brian,"My family and I had an amazing stay at Renee's house in Austin. The place was perfect - very convenient to everything especially locations near Zilker Park and South Congress area. The house itself was very nice, open layout, decorated nicely with Crate and Barrel type feel. We immediately felt at home here. Renee was very responsive and great about answering my questions as a first time Airbnber. She even accommodated my family by allowing a local woman to deliver a baby crib that we rented during our stay for our newborn who traveled with us. Renee provided great local food recommendations as well - we loved El Alma in particular. We hope to come back to Austin soon for a return visit - we didn't want to leave."
357529,50429034,2015-10-12,4924007,Andrea,"Renee was awesome! We were renting the house while attending ACL, Reservations were really easy, house was ready when we go there, beautiful, just as pictured if not better.  Kitchen was great and stocked with basics! That's always a concern, I like to cook for my self if I can while on trips like this. She had all the basics, and more. She was sweet enough to make sure we had some snacks and beverages too! Great house, great host, very responsive when I had questions. 

OH! and there is a little kitty that hangs out outside at night. That was the icing on the cake ! :) 

Thanks Renee!
"
357529,51453012,2015-10-20,43809037,Cassandra,"We had a great vacation staying in Renee's home, she was a very accommodating host and the home itself was comfortable and cozy. Great location in a nice neighborhood, easy access to everything we wanted to do while in Austin. Would definitely recommend to anyone, it was a great first time Airbnb experience! "
357529,51909298,2015-10-25,4957110,Debbie,"Wonderful, relaxing, homey atmosphere! The house is just like the pics, the beds are comfortable, plenty of room for 3-5 people. The location is a quick uber ride to downtown, UT or nearby restaurants. I honestly could have spent more time at the home as it was just so cute! We plan to stay here again when we return to Austin! Renee was always available and left detailed instructions at check in.  Love this place!"
357529,52799953,2015-11-01,4407502,Steve,Renee's house was immaculate and exactly as described in her listing.  I was in town for a wedding and stayed there for 3 nights with my fiancee and her mother.  I had a chance to meet Renee one of the days and she is an extremely pleasant person plus a very gracious host!  I would highly recommend this house to anyone.  It is close to so many restaurants and shops you can't go wrong trying to find things to do!  I loved the location of Renee's house as well as the overall setup!  The furniture was nice and beds very comfortable.  I also really like the way the yard was setup and the cafe lights in front with remote switch!
324552,918437,2012-02-13,1655640,Alexis,"I came to Austin SEU's homecoming weekend. I was meeting up with a friend and his dog and Matt's garage apartment was perfect for what we needed. It is very private, quiet, and the location was great. Matt was very accommodating - gave us extra pillows when we asked and let us borrow his washer and dryer. Parking around the place was also really easy. I highly suggest Matt's private studio for your stay in Austin!"
324552,933729,2012-02-20,1624714,Nici,Matt's studio is in a perfect location - you can easily get to all of the Austin neighborhoods on foot.  It's in the heart of SOCO and close to many fun restaurants and bars.  Matt was great to work with as well - very responsive and helpful.  I would definitely recommend this to my friends.   
324552,1024282,2012-03-20,1809162,Race,"   A great space and very private. The back entrance made it feel like a cool hideout, but just steps away from a ton of cool places. It's a quiet and comfortable place to sleep and recharge..."
324552,1035788,2012-03-23,213112,Dena,"The space is just as pictured and was very well located on South Congress..  Matt was very nice and incredibly accommodating.  He allowed my friend and I to check in late and then because no guest was scheduled the following day, he also allowed us to check out late (to get a little extra sleep).   I would absolutely stay with Matt again.  We were even offered home made salsa on the roof deck!  I recommend this (website hidden).  I think the sheets on that bed are made of Texas clouds-so soft and cozy :)"
324552,1059317,2012-03-29,1604762,Jin Kai,"Excellent location, very nice garden to hang out, and the dogs were a delight! As long as you set your expectation that this is a room converted from a garage space in a backyard(which has everything you need) you will be happy with the place."
324552,1078982,2012-04-03,625745,Thomas,"Our stay in Matt's back studio was perfect. Matt was super accommodating and friendly, even though our flight arrived late in the evening (at 11:30) on a Friday. The place was super clean, bright, and incredibly convenient -- the back door literally opens onto South Congress right by the Magnolia Cafe. It was close to lots of cool restaurants, food carts and bookstores. Matt was easily reachable via phone or text message whenever we had questions.  Totally fantastic place to stay -- I highly recommend it. "
324552,1128423,2012-04-14,132167,Alexandra,"This is a very well located, private and clean bungalow space hosted by a super nice guy. Private entrance and easy walking access to anything downtown- a major plus. Would recommend!"
324552,1147762,2012-04-18,1802682,June,"This was our 1st time using airbnb and everything turned out great. Matt's studio was clean and comfortable and in a great location. The style is modern/Ikea and the layout reminded me a little of living on a boat with compact storage/ a step up into the bathroom. The queen bed was very comfy and the air conditioner unit worked great. It has a small kitchen with: fridge, microwave and a full stove if you want to cook (we didn't). The only thing we did miss having was a TV but it does have WiFi. If you're looking for a comfortable, clean place to stay this was great. 
It is located off of South Congress street in a residential, very walkable neighborhood, close to many restaurants and vintage shops. There is a small ""Farm to Grocery"" food store a couple of blocks away where you can get groceries, wine, toiletries, etc. 
Matt was a very nice host and I felt very safe here. He gave us some great tips on places to go around town. We only saw him once, otherwise we were left alone. He has a couple of adorable dogs and cats (they aren't allowed in the studio) so if you need a pet fix like I did, it was fun to have them around to play with.  
All in all, a positive experience and a great weekend in Austin!"
324552,1176076,2012-04-24,1936695,Jenny,"Matt was a kind and accommodating host. He promptly took care of our few requests. The place is simple and private, and we found the location great for walking around South Congress. The back entrance was very convenient, and the air conditioner and ceiling fan were much appreciated as the studio could get a little stuffy."
324552,1210580,2012-05-01,1012864,Adrianne,"We enjoyed our 4 night stay in Matt's garage apartment, which had all the necessities plus privacy and a fantastic location.  Matt was very accommodating - he allowed us to use the washer and dryer inside his house and offered use of his bicycles.  I recommend Matt's garage apartment to anyone visiting Austin!"
324552,1246437,2012-05-08,443603,Joan,"My boyfriend and I spent a weekend in this little bungalow, and it was perfect!  Checking-in and checking out was easy and seamless.  The accommodations, location, and privacy were exactly what we were looking for in a weekend in Austin.  And it was great to peek out the window in the morning to see the dogs and cats lounging in the sun. I would definitely book this place again should I find myself in Austin."
324552,1335277,2012-05-23,2114665,Angela,"Matt is a really friendly and easy going guy who understands travelers and their requirements. 

Matt's place is conveniently located in trendy SoCo area with private entrance that backs on close to main road (yet still very quiet) and is close to some great restaurants, cafes and boutique stores.

It costs approx. $28-30 to take a cab from the airport. Although area is close to Downtown ($10 cab ride), you need a car in Austin to get around effortlessly and to see the sights.

Matt was kind enough to let us use his washing machine and dryer inside the main house.

The amenities in the granny flat were adequate for the cost and the fact that it's not a hotel (note no iron, toaster, blow dryer or many kitchen utensils). There is no to minimum natural light, but it's clean with no clutter at all (i.e. no personal belongings), so easy to settle into.

The bed is ultra comfortable with fluffy pillows and a super fluffy quilt.

The place has A/C and in Austin you need it! Matt was thoughtful so turned it on so the flat was cool when we got in. He also left nice new small shampoo bottles and soap in the shower for us to use.

We recommend Matt's place and Matt as a host."
324552,1372683,2012-05-29,2155321,Mauricio & Christie,The place was fine and what we expected. The location is great. I was hoping to share some stories with the host but he was a very busy man. He was very gracious in letting us use his bikes. 
324552,1422373,2012-06-05,289129,RoxAnn,This is in a perfect location.  We enjoyed our stay and will be back.  
324552,1524741,2012-06-20,838516,Anne,"While in Austin, I split my 5 day stay between 2 Airbnb locations in Hyde Park (3 nights) and Soco Studio (2 nights).  Both were the same price.  Although the location of the Soco Studio is ideal (near restaurants, shops, food trailers, music venues), I preferred the cleanliness, and services offered at the studio that was a bit outside of the downtown area.   "
324552,1653538,2012-07-07,2063071,Jennifer,"Cute, clean and insanely convenient to the South Congress strip, this little cabin is the perfect getaway for one or two folks on the road.  With everything you need and no frills, it's a great spot for as long as you need it.  Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.  "
324552,1744171,2012-07-18,2949010,Clint,"Matt's place was fantastic! It was clean, comfortable (especially the bed), and incredibly close to all of the shops and restaurants on South Congress. Matt is a laid-back, friendly guy who is happy to offer up some great suggestions for food/drink/coffee! I would definitely stay here again!"
324552,1780816,2012-07-23,2854579,Sandra,"The studio is very quaint and quiet. Great location also. Matt was very friendly and flexible with check-in and check-out times. Would definitely recommend to friends, however, the refrigerator was not working if that's a deal breaker for you."
324552,1961270,2012-08-12,2094991,Linda,"Great private apartment in the middle of the fun SoCo district. We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is nice, clean and comfortable."
324552,2131629,2012-08-28,1655640,Alexis,"Matt's SoCo loft is my favorite place to stay in Austin. Perfect for some privacy, great location, and above all Matt is communicative and flexible. Can't wait to come back and stay in my little cottage again! :)"
324552,2174421,2012-09-02,3293784,Bec,"First time user of air bnb and what a way too start it!! Matt was great loads of information on places to go and see, his dogs were cute too. His studio is out the back where you had your own private door out to the main street, right near everything in the main street of Soco. Joel's cafe is a must just down the street.. 
Very clean and neat, large fridge, oven & microwave, everything you need if cooking in the studio. The roof on top of the studio is worth a visit, nice to relax and have a beer and take in the sounds of Soco. When we come back to Austin its Matt's studio for us. Cheers Matt"
324552,2198692,2012-09-04,1099660,Justin,"I had a great time in Austin staying at Matt's place.  It was clean, well appointed, and incredibly convenient.  There is lot's to do within short walking distance and only a few minutes by car from downtown.  I know where I'm going to go new time I roll through town.  Thanks Matt!!"
324552,2341619,2012-09-18,2574607,Aubra,The reservation was canceled 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
324552,2413015,2012-09-25,3531443,Daniel,"We arrived in Austin 2-hours late and a bit frazzled. This was our first AirBnB experience. It was dark when we arrived in the city, so I called Seth (he was out to dinner as I wasn't able to communicate our delayed schedule) and he talked me through getting into his house and out back to the stand alone apartment. Matt was extremely friendly and helpful (he pointed us to a great dinner in walking distance). He came down to say hello and never made us feel like we put him out for being late. Quite the opposite—we felt right at home in the pleasantly spartan-yet-modern garage apartment. We particularly loved the courtyard between the main house and the apartment where Matt's cats and dogs visited for scratches behind the ears. Thanks, Matt!"
324552,2422938,2012-09-26,1397361,Patrick,"Matt's SoCo apartment was a perfect home-base for a well needed parental getaway.  The location is great with direct private access to Congress, and it's clean and bright.  Matt is a great host and super responsive, and we intend to make this an annual tradition.  "
324552,2450920,2012-09-29,3675230,Emily,"Matt and his little studio are so great!  It was my first time using airbnb so I must have called him a million times with questions and he was super nice and patient the whole time.  The place is super cute and simple and exactly where you'd want to be staying in Austin, we walked everywhere.  I highly recommend staying with Matt.  No dogs allowed in the studio and there no TV for all you bums out there!  "
324552,2681777,2012-10-22,946133,Kendra,"The studio was great!  Matt was great!  The location is KILLER!  I lived in Austin a long time and knew how convenient it would be, but the location really paid off on this trip.  Matt has taken great care to think through the layout of the studio.  He also allowed me access to the big house as an entry way (there is a back door to the studio, as well), and he couldn't have been friendlier.  I felt very much at home.  And while I didn't use it but once, there is a very cool deck above the studio you can enjoy. Oh, and he even stocked the place with a hairdryer."
324552,2800780,2012-11-04,3807375,Lisa,"Matt's private studio was a great find! The bed was comfortable and the suite was clean. It's perfect for one person or a couple who just need a place to stay at night.
There is no TV, which is fine because there's so much to do in Austin. And it's nice to have a fridge, sink and stove handy. Matt was very accommodating in terms of when I checked in and he gave me some tips on excellent local cafes and shops.  His place is conveniently located right off of South Congress, super close to restaurants, cafes and some really cool vintage stores. There are plenty of buses, but I walked almost everywhere. It's about a 30 to 40-minute walk to downtown and the Sixth Street bars. My only criticism was there was no hairdryer in the bathroom. 
Also, he has two dogs and one that is fairly excitable. It's fine, if you're a fan of dogs but I'm a bit uncomfortable around large dogs so I always had one eye looking out for it running towards me when I was in the backyard. Again, it wasn't that bad, I'm just not a big dog person. 
I would definitely recommend Matt's SOCO Studio to anyone looking for a clean and relatively inexpensive room in a great location."
324552,2815084,2012-11-05,3940459,Krista,"This place was perfect for our one-night stay in Austin. It's inches from South Congress, super clean and has an insanely comfortable bed. I was a little worried when I saw the AC was a window unit, but it was nice and cold, plus there's a ceiling fan over the bed so it didn't feel stuffy at all. I would absolutely stay here again. "
324552,2875926,2012-11-13,3714541,Molly,"Matt was so kind and accommodating and you really can't ask for a better location! He was always available for information, suggestions or just a chat. Wonderful little space to stay with everything you'd need for a weekend getaway. Highly recommended- we can't wait to come back!"
324552,2904662,2012-11-17,694760,Adam,"Matt is a friendly and accommodating host. His condo is in an awesome location, private rear entrance from S. Congress, comfortable bed, very clean. Very Austin. Would definitely stay again."
324552,2925281,2012-11-20,957427,Abe,"Perfect location for our Formula 1 visit!  Matt's place is conveniently located to South Congress and 1st Street.  This is where we spent most of our time.  Also, for breakfast you can literally walk less than one minute to Magnolia Cafe.  We hope to return next year."
324552,3029436,2012-12-04,516587,Dennis,"Matt is a great guy and has both a beautiful house and a perfect studio apartment (where I'm staying).  He's been extremely flexible, even letting me park my motorcycle in his private parking area.  Location is PERFECT! Congress St., which is jam packed with restaurants, bars and a cool music venue, is a block away and downtown, which is even livelier, is a 15 min. walk or a $5 cab ride away.  "

324552,3204661,2012-12-31,358960,Adam,"This studio was perfect for our weekend getaway to Austin. The location is fantastic! We could walk down South Congress to many shops and restaurants, and everything else was just a quick drive away. The studio itself had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. Matt was laid back yet very responsive & accommodating, we would definitely stay with him again!"
324552,3242476,2013-01-03,4025915,Ruth,"Matt's studio apartment is exactly as he describes.  It is in a perfect location with a private entrance that leads directly to S Congress.  We arrived 45 mins late and Matt was very helpful and accommodating.  He kindly  told us that we could call or text him at any time. Wifi is available which was great.  We are a couple in our 60's and this was our first airbnb experience.  The following review is based on our personal preferences and is not a reflection of Matt or the information given by him but we hope it will be helpful to other people at our ""stage of the game""  We did not have good weather in Austin and the apartment has no comfortable place to sit and read a book - the only seating is 2 hard kitchen chairs.  There are no windows in the apartment - the doors have glass in them but for privacy the blinds need to be closed.  If you are tall the shower will be a problem for you.  There were no drinking glasses, wine glasses, coffee filters, - only 2 mugs and a few plates, no chest of drawers.  The cupboard door was broken off its hinges and could not be closed.  Having said that, we loved Austin and this location was perfect - walking distance to downtown, great restaurants, S Congress, theaters, Lady Bird Lake. We are simply looking for a few more amenities than offered at Matt's Studio apartment.  Ruth and Ian Robertson"
324552,3284800,2013-01-05,4487524,Lorraine,"Matt was a great host - after a difficult start in Austin for me, Matt was able to accommodate a last minute request to stay in the studio unit.  I couldn't have been happier with the place (perfect, as pictured!), the host and the location.  SOCO in Austin is a lot of fun, and Matt is such a laid-back gentleman with some sweet pets.  Thanks, Matt! :)"
324552,3319667,2013-01-09,720324,Jenna,"Great place, location, dogs and Matt was pleasant, and put us up last minute in the private studio in the back, which was  clean, modern and comfy. The only negative was that there was a major work crew ripping up a foundation next door, which made it tough to sleep in, but hey, who wants to sleep through vacation? Would definitely stay there again, thanks Matt! "

324552,3636986,2013-02-26,1224813,Cam,Incredible location right off South Congress.  No need to have a car at all!  Matt was very nice and accommodating.  Apartment was clean and functional with great wireless internet.  Backyard was a nice spot too.  
324552,3860024,2013-03-22,1759661,Lindsey,"Matt was a good host - flexible and friendly - and his house is beautiful. Best of all, it's in a fantastic location just behind Magnolia, on South Congress. We stayed both in the main house (in the gorgeous high-ceilinged master suite, complete with balcony - thanks Matt!) and then in the separate studio out in the backyard. The master suite is lovely, and Matt managed to accommodate us there after a double booking, which meant there wasn't room for us in the room downstairs I'd originally booked. Later in the week when my friends left I moved to Matt's separate studio for a few days. I preferred the studio, for its privacy and self-sufficiency, and spent happy hours on the sunny roof terrace above. The wifi is speedy, the beds are comfy, and when the sun's out the yard is a great place to hang out. The dog and cats are very sweet, too. The studio's contents are basic (bring your own washing up liquid, kitchen cloth, cutlery...) but perhaps its intended for people who mostly eat out. If the weather is bad I think you'd get stir-crazy pretty quickly, as it's not a huge space (it has a bed and kitchen table/chairs but not a sofa) and there isn't a huge amount of natural light. But it was ideal for me on my own, both working on my laptop and hanging out on vacation, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back. Thanks Matt!  "
324552,3983329,2013-04-01,5292759,Brandon,Matt is a reliable dude and easy to communicate with. The property was clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this listing.
324552,4124750,2013-04-12,2376824,Sam,"Matts place is exactly as depicted in the pictures, bed was very comfy and the studio is in a great location, right on South Congress, very close to lots of bars, shops and restaurants and the bus stop is right across the road. The backyard and deck upstairs are great to spend an evening in the warmth having a few beers. The kitchen doesn't provide much, so if you plan on cooking lots of meals maybe bring your own utensils, other than that, the place was great, would definitely stay there again."
324552,4729727,2013-05-22,5751608,Sam,"Matt's space was clean, quiet, neat and as advertised. We arrived at an odd hour (past midnight) but he was more than accommodating to help us check-in with the AC running to help us cool off quickly on a hot night. 

The space was perfect for a couple, and we highly recommend Matt as a host. "
324552,4834593,2013-05-28,5332797,Rachael,The studio is cute and location is awesome.  We did have an issue getting ahold of Matt; he was out of town and forgot to give us his friend's info who was in charge of guests.  I guess when airbnb says to contact the host a week or so in advance I should listen!  Other than that it was great.  
324552,5199966,2013-06-17,6868223,Carlos,"The photos and description are accurate. Matt accommodated a late check in.  When we arrived, his cat showed us to the door.

If you have never been to Austin before, I highly recommend staying within walking distance of South Congress.  Because we arrived so late, it was really nice to be able to check in, then walk to Magnolia Café for a late dinner (open 24 hours), and then walk up and down South Congress to window shop while we adjusted to the Texas heat.  The restaurants and shops on South 1st street are also in walking distance."

Pero dispone de privacidad gracias a la entrada propia y directa desde la calle hasta la vivienda. Una cama doble, un baño con ducha y una pequeña cocina equipada además de una estupenda situación es todo lo que necesitas para disfrutar de tu estancia en Austin. La casa se encuentra a pocos metros andando de bancos, tiendas, estupendos restaurante y locales donde tomarte una copa. Matt fue un muy buen anfitrión que incluso atendió nuestras preguntas en su escaso español"

324552,6486399,2013-08-14,1305411,Charles,"Matt's place is a private and comfortable self contained unit behind his fantastic house in SoCo. The location is perfect for folks interested in all the great food and quirky shops and bars in the area and close enough to walk downtown.

Matt was a great host who dealt with our changes in plan graciously and provided us with everything we needed plus some fantastic tips for the area.

Great experience, can't recommend enough."
324552,7073267,2013-09-05,1618213,David,"Great location, but the three 1.5 inch cockroaches (one in kitchen sink, one in bathroom, one in bedroom), two earwigs and one spider detracted from the overall experience.  There was also a common house gecko, which I would have preferred to have seen outside the sleeping quarters."
324552,7151565,2013-09-08,4060998,Peter,"Matt was a great host an made it very easy for us to get into our room even though he was not there. He always replied very quickly during all communication. 

This location is close and convenient to all the fun spots in south congress including many great restaurants. The air conditioning cooled the apartment down quick even though it was 100 degrees outside. "
324552,7186989,2013-09-09,8650594,Mary,"The little apartment was impeccably clean - the location was the best.  From the kitchen door, a gate opened right onto Congress where we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go.  Perfect location, perfect evening in Austin - what more can I say?"
324552,7387977,2013-09-17,100320,Tami,South congress studio was in a perfect location for our impromptu visit to Austin. The studio was clean and as listed. Matt responded  to my last minute inquiry and questions almost instantly.
324552,7721419,2013-09-30,8956330,Ray,"We enjoyed our stay here and will absolutely consider staying here again on our next visit. It's clean and comfortable and had everything we needed and we were able to park on the street (for free) without any trouble. We noticed a leak in the ceiling above the refrigerator during a heavy rainstorm, but Matt's aware of it."
324552,8377338,2013-10-28,9122037,Chris,"Location is ideal. Right off South Congress. 
The space was clean. Easy to find. Good for a weekend stay. "
324552,8575530,2013-11-05,9611394,Amanda,Love the Location!!! Was Great could walk everywhere or a short cab ride. Matt was very accommodating! 
324552,9340943,2013-12-22,6655435,Elvie,Easy in and out of this quaint little space. Matt was flexible. The space charming and comfortable.
324552,9436876,2013-12-28,6944726,Leon,"Matt has a very nice studio apartment in his backyard of his very nice house! I would recommend the studio to anyone who loves privacy. It has its own entrance and has everything you need. The 2 cold glasses in the fridge was a nice touch! Walking distance from all the restaurants off of congress road, you couldn't get any closer unless you lived above the restaurants themselves! I would definitely stay again!"
324552,9614618,2014-01-03,10589179,David,"I really enjoyed my time at the ""Soco Studio"" hosted by Matt. Matt himself offered suggestions of where to go in the neighborhood and was rather helpful. I thought the studio was rather comfortable and I felt at home there. I enjoyed having that private entrance/exit that lead out back. Easily spending a lot of time, going to the stores and restaurants on South Congress or catching the nearby bus.

Great place, would definitely stay again. "
324552,9923433,2014-01-20,3267863,Courtney,Matt's place was exactly as described and worked out perfect! It is conveniently located off South Congress and an easy walk to everything that area has to offer. Matt was very accommodating for us and our need to have a place to stay that allowed us to bring our dog. I would highly recommend staying with Matt if you are in Austin.  
324552,10154787,2014-02-03,10082462,Ray,"The location was perfect.  If we walked out the back, we were literally a half block from S. Congress.  It was quiet and comfortable, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay near that area of town.  "
324552,10239903,2014-02-08,5292759,Brandon,This beautiful and cozy SoCo studio is a gem in spectacular location. Matt is an intelligent and kind person who is great to talk to! He will make sure you are taken care of and I could not recommend this place any more. I will stay here again!
324552,10427097,2014-02-18,3457921,Jonathan,"Great spot!  Comfortable, private, and has great access to South Congress.  Would stay here again in a heartbeat."
324552,11154510,2014-03-23,3096768,Kayla,"The location of this place is amazing.  I mean you really can't get better. your back door literally opens onto south congress.  The space itself is very minimal.  If you don't plan on spending that much time in your room (which we were not), and just want to experience Austin.  A great place.  The bed was VERY comfortable.  The water pressure in the shower though was really really low.  We never actually met Matt, but he was great in getting us in and set up safe and sound.  "
324552,11272451,2014-03-27,7272478,Jacob,"This studio is as advertised and I found all of the previous reviews to be accurate, but it is unfortunately not a perfect find. A lot of the details in the apartment are shoddy, including a lack of light fixtures, an absent smoke detector, and a 5-foot high shower head. As previously mentioned, the location is great, it is very clean and quiet, and Matt was accommodating on the phone."
324552,11458351,2014-04-03,3424119,Mike,"This studio is in a great location, only a few minutes walk to South Congress stores and cafes. The studio has its own entrance and shares a nice backyard with the beautiful main house. Had a great time and definitely recommend!"
324552,11856599,2014-04-17,8723110,Sakiko,"I enjoyed staying in the SOCO studio at Matt's place.  It was clean and pretty spacious for one person.  It is in a great location I soon came to realise, a great farm-to-market shop nearby, good places to eat, cute shops etc.  The garden was really nice and private.  The main house/kitchen facilities were good (nice big fridge but no utensils in the studio-kitchen so used the house's kitchen).  "
324552,12481102,2014-05-03,14954849,Eddie,Matt was responsive and immediate to any requests. Everything could not have gone any more smoothly. 
324552,13993175,2014-06-09,4893110,Michelle,"Matt was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The house/unit was very clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect! Beautiful neighborhood and easy to walk to great bars, restaurants, and shops in SoCo. I'd definitely stay there again!"
324552,16170545,2014-07-22,10642959,Marc,"Matt's private studio was the perfect spot in Austin. We only stayed one night, but it was just what we needed—a nice cozy place, a great location, and a low-key vibe. The place had all the essentials and was definitely within walking distance to everything in SOCO—only a few blocks away on a quiet street with charming Austin homes."
324552,16869571,2014-08-03,3799898,Blake,"Great little place in a suburb location. Check in was super easy, room was clean and tidy. I was able to get a hold of Matt easily and check out was simple. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others. "
324552,17028586,2014-08-05,17444930,Iris,My colleague Richard stayed in this unit and was very pleased with it. It's clean and nice and very comfortable. Matt is a great host  and looks after the property well. 
324552,18636630,2014-08-29,20359984,Trent,"Matt was responsive and made my stay easy to manage.  He had a busy schedule and needed to move me to a different room for the third night but did not charge me a higher rate.  That was very nice of him.  The only complaints I have is that the internet connection in the Studio out back was very poor.  In fact it wasn't a strong enough signal to work at all.  In addition the water pressure was very low.  I realize that a lot of folks use low flow fixtures these days, and I think conservation is a great way to go, but the pressure was not satisfactory."
324552,19156949,2014-09-07,3694327,Christen,"I stayed in the studio 1 night. The transaction was seamless. The studio was great - clean, bed was comfy, I was traveling alone and felt safe. Convenient location for walking around South Congress. Bonus: 2 super cute and friendly cats in the backyard and main house."
324552,19452482,2014-09-12,740347,Chris,Matt's place is close to the SoCo District and within walking distance to several places to eat without the need of a car.  Just what we were looking for during our short stay.
324552,20556837,2014-10-01,6608084,CarneyFamily,All was as described. Beautiful house.

324552,22573617,2014-11-09,6655435,Elvie,This was my second visit with Matt at his Eva St. location. As usual I enjoyed my stay and felt at home. The location is priceless. The accommodations were comfortable and peaceful. Will return to the Eva St house upon my next visit to Austin.
324552,24684978,2015-01-01,1606746,Umut,"We stayed at Matt's ""garage studio"".  I have to say that this was the worst AirBnB experience for me for the following reasons
1) the unit does not have a heater other than than a loud aircondioner that blows hot air much like a hair dryer would.  imagine trying to sleep with something like that loudly blowing hot air over the bed all night.  i found this unacceptable.
2) Matt was absent  and did not respond to my request for a heater.  The cleaning lady also called him but he did not provide a heater, even though he told the cleaning lady that he would.
3) Many things in the unit are simply non-functional.  There is a closet but the door is jammed, the toilet tank seems to leak, the towel rack is not attached to the wall firmly and falls when used, etc.
4) There is a small kitchen, entirely adequately equipped but the stove was not clean when we arrived.

There were a few positives: this is a nice neighborhood and the property that this unit is attached to seems quite nice.

having pad close to $400 for three nights, i would not consider staying here again and in fact feel quite bad about the experience.  
"
324552,25515416,2015-01-18,2815944,Hannah,"My boyfriend and I stayed in the backyard studio for two nights. The location is very nice, situated right of off South Congress and a very short walk to South 1st restaurants and shops. Our host, Matt, said we could check in anytime but was not present throughout our stay. He forgot to tell us how to get into the studio and where the keys were. The studio itself feels a bit undone. The closet door is off the tracks, the towel rack is falling out of the wall and the water pressure is awful--nearly impossible to take a shower. All things considered, I would not recommend this AirBnB, especially for the $300+ pricetag for 2 nights. 

Be aware, the listing states it is for 2 people but charges a fee for the second guest. It is listed as an entire home with a separate entrance but Matt told us we had to enter and exit through the kitchen in the main home. "
324552,25780969,2015-01-25,10979482,Kevin,"Staying here was super easy. Matt was easy to reach at check in time, left keys to the back house in his kitchen and just let us do our thing. Great location. We strolled down South Congress before catching an uber downtown. The place itself seemed like an unfinished guest house but the bed was comfortable and you honestly cannot beat the location. Would recommend "
324552,26668235,2015-02-16,17151802,Alexis,Studio was very clean and a gem for location. It's a great spot if you are looking to explore South Congress for a couple days.
324552,27160915,2015-02-27,4724871,Amy,Matt's place was clean and comfortable. Perfect location on South Congress! 
324552,28243655,2015-03-20,367518,Tamara,"I didn't meet Matt, but he was quick to respond to my messages.  Very thankful to have found this studio as it was a last minute booking that happened within an hour as I drove into Austin.  

This place is so cute and zen.  The location was perfect and near all SoCo has to offer.  The studio was very clean and tidy.  Very pleased with my stay.  Would definitely recommend it!

Thank you Matt!"
324552,30714574,2015-04-26,29402005,Linda,"Great location!  The main house was beautiful.  I stayed in the studio which was private but it wasn't as updated.  Not that big of a deal.

I had some problems with restroom and kitchen lights but I figured it out.  

Small stain near bed but it was cleaned as soon as I mentioned it.

A light in the back area would help,  unless there was and I didn't see.

Overall it was great, love the neighborhood."
324552,31611738,2015-05-07,329181,Jennifer,"Great place and beautiful house! A bit unorganized and hard to be in touch with Matt at first, but everything worked out. Would stay here again :)"
324552,31810499,2015-05-10,29476796,Erika,This place was great! Amazing location and comfy settings inside the studio. Mat was great and responded to my many questions in a timely manner. Highly recommend this spot!
324552,32383909,2015-05-17,32067422,Becca,The studio location could not have been more perfect for my exploration weekend in Austin!  Matt was quick to respond when I had questions and even let us check in a few hours early.  The apartment was clean and met our expectations!
324552,33385837,2015-05-27,32085128,Lisa,"Perfect location, clean and easy to access.  The unit is exactly what was described and most issues from other reviewers have been remedied. There is also a TV and cable with every movie channel added in the bedroom.  The back door leads right out onto South Congress which made it very easy to access shops and restaurants.  The unit was clean, the bed comfy, and having a full kitchen was helpful to keep leftovers/make snacks.  I never met the host but he was accessible by phone in case anything was amiss.  Wonderful stay and I would most definitely book here again."
324552,37587983,2015-07-08,22422828,Matt,"The perfect location, this cozy self contained unit is exactly as described. The rear entry spills out onto S Congress Ave and very easy to duck out for a morning coffee or Bloody Mary. Matt was communicative and accommodating to a couple of requests we had. Would stay again."
324552,40674619,2015-08-01,26637976,Kate,"This location was so perfect! It seemed quiet and secluded, but was near steps away from the Congress St. location of Magnolia's (my favorite!). Matt was good about answering texts and emails and the place was well equipped! "
324552,40751729,2015-08-02,26637976,Kate,"So, this will be a double review, since we added on an additional night without doing a new reservation. Positives all around!"
324552,41108833,2015-08-04,651939,Julie,"This place is in a great location, just a few blocks from all the shops on South Congress.  The apartment was as described and perfect for our stay.  It was clean on our arrival, and stocked with the essentials.  Our only issue was getting the key; I tried to contact Matt prior to arriving, and didn't hear anything back.  When we got there, no one was home to get us a key.  However, we did find an excellent way to pass the time (headed down to the street to eat dinner).  Matt called in about an hour and we got the key no problem.  All in all, we were pretty happy with the place!    "
324552,43731625,2015-08-21,25076791,Paul,"Really nice place and location!  We walked down to get dinner and take in South Congress.  We didn't use the kitchen, but its there if you need it!"
324552,43969910,2015-08-23,12679886,Megan,"Matt's SoCo home was clean, comfy, and safe. It is in a perfect location - right off South Congress, walking distance from great food and shopping but quiet. I would definitely stay here again!"
324552,45034901,2015-08-30,38105332,John,"The place is exactly how it was described. Very cozy and perfect for 2.  Location is wonderful. Very quiet area with a back gate leading out to South Congress, just a few minutes walk away from shops and restaurants. 

Matt made it very easy to pick up the keys to the studio from the main house. I would book here again."
324552,45678216,2015-09-05,32854294,Elizabeth,"The location is fantastic; very close to South Congress and with plenty of free street parking in front. Studio is accurately portrayed in the photos; it's small but adequately furnished. The bed is comfortable with nice linens, and the WiFi connection is good. It was fine for one person overnight, and you really can't beat the location. It's pretty quiet and private even though it's very close to South Congress.

The power was out when I arrived (the breakers had tripped); Matt said this had never happened before, and came out to fix it for me, which I appreciated. There were some communication problems after I checked out; he said he couldn't find the keys even though I had left them in the correct place. He did find them, however, and let me know."
324552,46681933,2015-09-12,8784850,Pedro,Had a recent short stay In Austin. Nice place and great location. Quick communication with host. 
324552,47491670,2015-09-19,3546707,Kim,"Great location - walk out the back door & onto South Congress. The main house is beautiful on a charming street. The back apartment is a good space & private, not as polished as the main house. Comfy bed, good internet. Matt was easy to contact with questions. We had a nice night here."
324552,47663421,2015-09-21,15466372,Betsy,"Great place, perfect location. Had everything that my husband I and needed for a weekend getaway to Austin. Perfect location right off South Congress, near many restaurants and shops. Within walking distance of downtown or a short, cheap Uber ride. Can also walk to 1st street easily from there. The whole studio is very cute, modern-feeling, and clean. Stayed cool with window unit A/C during our 95degree days. Only small hitch was that one minute all the lights were working, the next the kitchen and bathroom lights were out. We contacted Matt, and he got back to us shortly after telling us how to fix the problem (hit the reset button on the bathroom outlet)."
324552,49588980,2015-10-05,4099961,Sarah,Great location!  Matt made it easy to get the key from the main house.  The studio had everything we needed and the location is perfect.  Plenty of bars and restaurants around the corner on south congress.  Would absolutely stay again.
324552,51138745,2015-10-18,6296085,Lizzy,"LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Very close to all the hip shopping/restaurants on So.Congress, could not be a better location.  Clean, perfect sized AirBnB for two.  The A/C was cranked when we arrive much to our happiness as it was a 98degree day.  Matt was easy to text and answered my questions quickly.  I would definitely recommend staying here."
7633876,43322823,2015-08-18,39188218,Season,"I had the honor of being the very first Air BnB guest at the casita!  It was very cute and thoughtfully decorated, but what I loved and appreciated most was the fact that it was very clean!! Everything smelled freshly laundered, which I always appreciate and the hosts were very, very thoughtful!  I would highly recommend staying here :)"
7633876,43714471,2015-08-21,430091,Shawn,"The Crestview Casita was a great little place to stay. It was really clean and fresh and felt good. Storms was cool, he was responsive but left us alone to do our thing. He left us some cold Topo Chicos in the mini fridge. There is a sitting nook in the Casita with a comfy chair and a guitar, nice touch. The porch is a great place to sit in the evening, and the location feels private and quiet. 

The bathroom is a short walk across the yard to the house. It was no problem and there is a washer and dryer which was cool too. 

Great little place and cheap. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm in town!
"
7633876,44358818,2015-08-25,35654121,Kristian,I had a great experience at Crestview Casita! Very cute on the outside and the inside was neat and clean. Perfect size for two to live comfortably. Included all the amenities we needed (even a great sounding guitar and some beer in the fridge!). Would definitely stay again and recommend to others. 
7633876,45220848,2015-08-31,1653979,John,"The casita was great! It was everything as described and shown in the pictures.  We still felt like we had our privacy and Storms and his wife were very kind and welcoming. Going to the main house for the restroom/shower wasn't really inconvenient, and they even had a sign saying that the space was ""to be considered only for guests during their stay"" so there's no awkward run-ins if you have to go in the middle of the night or anything like that. 

The AC in the casita works great and kept us cool, and the bed was SO COMFORTABLE, which is something you don't get from the pictures (I'm pretty sure it was a memory foam mattress or something). The wood floors in there were really nice, and it felt like no cost was spared when they built the place. Also the fridge was stocked with sparkling water and normal water, which was a nice touch, and great the next morning after a night of going out. Also there's plenty of outlets on every wall to charge devices or what have you, and the blinds can be easily picked up and pulled down depending on how much sunlight/privacy you want.  Also the neighborhood is nice and quiet; I think I woke up to birds chirping, which is always pleasant. 

The restroom was very spacious and very clean; they provided towels and soaps and shampoo/conditioner in case you forget your own, and the water pressure in the shower was great (I know that's a big deal for some people). 

On a final note, we misplaced the key to the back door of the house (where the restroom is) at one point and Storms was very kind and understanding about that and gave us a spare with no questions asked.  Thankfully we did find it (if it were a snake it would've bit me), but it was nice that he was very understanding about the situation. I would definitely stay here again, and I HIGHLY recommend it! "
7633876,46191548,2015-09-08,30167629,Brittany,We stayed at the Crestview Casita over Labor Day weekend and we really enjoyed our stay. The casita was air conditioned and it was a great place to go back to for some relaxation after a day in Austin. You do have to walk from the casita to the bathroom- but the bathroom was nice and Storms keeps the door to the rest of the house locked so it's more private. Would definitely recommend for anyone traveling on a tight budget! 
7633876,47740079,2015-09-21,41916251,Trixie,"Staying at the Crestview Casita was delightful! Though we never formally or actually met Storm and Nissa, they were lovely hosts. The room was spotless and welcoming, and the mini fridge was filled with water, perfect in the Texas heat. The bathroom was filled with amenities like shampoos and soaps, and also spotless. It is not connected to the casita but is very close and not something I consider a problem. We came and went as we pleased, the area is in close proximity to downtown and South Austin, and everything felt much more relaxed than staying at an actual hotel. I really enjoyed my stay here and am already planning a trip to come back! "
7633876,48944343,2015-09-29,27971803,Ron,"Our host was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. He was helpful in suggesting the best ways to get around town and offered to answer any questions we might have had during our stay. 
The casita was beautiful and the bed was a joy to sleep on. The air conditioner kept the casita nice and cool. Despite the bathroom being in a separate and private part, it was very large and had a wonderful shower with plenty of amenities. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends!"
7633876,49666724,2015-10-05,3991346,Amy,"When checking in I was greeted and shown to the casita. This was the only time during my 4 day trip, I was totally undisturbed, I really did have the whole place to myself.

The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of space. The bathroom was just across the lawn and there was a large shower available.

The casita had air conditioning which was great in the Texas heat."
7633876,50761440,2015-10-14,20652010,Andrew,"We had a wonderful time in Austin, and the Casita made a perfect home base. Everything provided was clean and fresh, and the bed was a great source of comfort after some long days. The neighborhood is a short walk away from an express bus and at least two great places to grab breakfast. Storms communicated everything that we needed to know in a timely fashion, and even provided us with much appreciated drinking water."
7633876,51982816,2015-10-25,30078775,Akshay,"I had a great time staying at Crestview Casita! The place was cozy and comfortable for two people, with a large bed and mini-fridge inside. The bathroom was very pleasant and certainly fulfilled all our needs--even though it was a short walk away from the casita itself. I also had a great time interacting with Storms via text; he always responded in a timely manner and did his best to make us feel comfortable. Overall, I would definitely choose to stay at this place again. "
7633876,52868346,2015-11-02,2547136,Jennifer,"This charming casita is exactly as advertised. The nicely appointed bathroom in their home isn't far, but was inconvenient in severe weather . Everything is exceptionally clean & fresh. Storms was ultra responsive, helpful & flexible. And in the face of heavy rain, his wife kindly lent me raincoat & boots - a real life saver.  The neighborhood is lovely and I wish I could have stayed longer! A kettle & a sink would boost the convenience of staying more than a few days."
634224,10905339,2014-03-12,8806532,Andrea,"The Shepard house was tremendous.....and the family could not have been nicer!!! It has a beautiful open format that is very conducive to celebrating ""group space"" in the kitchen and a couple of different living rooms, while having VERY private bedroom spaces when everyone needs to catch a few Zzzzz's before heading off to SxSW again. It was much closer to downtown than expected and an easy shot. They were super kind in opening their refrigerator to us and even spotting us for some wine if wanted. The place could not have been more spotless and nicely decorated. They made us feel like we truly had a home away from home. They also helped us in arranging for some shipments to be made to their house and were extremely proactive in making sure we had everything we needed in advance. I went on several runs in the neighborhood and enjoyed the area and it was very safe. Also Starbucks etc for those who are addicted like we are!! I'm sure the pool is very lovely when the weather finally warms up. Thanks Tanner for all you did for us to make our SxSW so exceptional!!!!!

"
634224,28172015,2015-03-19,5065206,Mark,"This was a fantastic rental! We wanted a nice casual but indulgent space, and this was it. The bedrooms were spacious, with three having large beds and plenty of amenities, including iPhone charge capabilities in master bedroom. the kitchen was fantastic. The indoors layout and hard wood floors made for quiet mornings too. 5+ can really spread out without bothering each other when needed. the outside area is fun for kids or just lounging around. There's a great BBQ and nice front area  in a very traditional and old school neighborhood. Proximity to town is about 15 mins, but being up the 1 makes it easy to get west, north, or south quickly. Lots of convenient shops are around too. We will be back again next year. Tanner and his family really made us feel at home!"
634224,31358548,2015-05-04,31099764,Jenna,We had such a great time here! Both Tanner and Angie were super helpful (didn't even make fun of me when i couldn't figure out the TV) and very nice. They welcomed my family - and my dog - so that we could hang out and celebrate my out of town sister's birthday. We have children - who loved the playroom and the pool. They left us a welcome gift and it felt like we were staying at a friends house instead of a short term rental. I sort of want to go back and hang out with them!
634224,33118783,2015-05-25,23508080,Simone,Tanner and his wife were wonderful hosts. They made sure we had everything we needed and even provided us with a nice welcome package! The house was exactly as pictured--a beautiful home with ample space. Thanks again for everything!
634224,39967890,2015-07-27,16968012,Priscilla,"Tanner was a great host! We were a group of 10 ladies in town for a much needed girls weekend, and this house was perfect! All of us were in love with the style of the house, and it was very spacious. The pictures don't do it justice! The neighborhood was cute and was situated half way between downtown and Lake Travis, which was exactly what we were looking for. You won't regret booking this place! "
634224,48748076,2015-09-28,36074763,Danielle,"Our hosts provided a gift basket for when we arrived, such a nice touch! We had plenty of towels and toiletries. The outside space was great for laying out and playing yard games. The pictures of the house do not do it justice. It it amazingly furnished and has large living and kitchen space."
8273931,49169544,2015-10-01,5254884,Ed,"Abi's place is great-- worked out well for everyone and communication was great. I wish I had more time to write an in-depth review right now but the review period is about to end!! so I'll just say-- stay here, it's cool!!!!"
8273931,50492146,2015-10-12,43885781,Kailey,Abi was an amazing host! This was my first AirBNB experience and she made it incredibly easy and enjoyable. The house was so cute and very clean upon arrival. She left a wonderfully detailed list of instructions for the house including wifi passwords/how to use the different remotes for the TV/where pots and pans were + she included tips on where to eat and what to do which is always appreciated. We loved our stay at Abi's home and couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Thank you Abi!!
8273931,51405957,2015-10-19,25903520,Erin,We were only in Austin 1 night and this house worked very well for us. We really enjoyed the back patio space. It was a tight fit for 6 of us but for 1 night was very doable. 
8273931,52179872,2015-10-26,14858383,David,The house is clean and nice.  Abi is a very nice person.  Everything is just as she described it.  I would stay here again.  
988173,10993966,2014-03-16,12991912,Robert,"Great cozy spot to stay, great atmosphere and kind generous people everywhere you look. The RV was clean and everything worked, perfect for getting some sleep before spending time downtown. Would definitely stay here again.  "
8148123,46078876,2015-09-07,39542784,Tiffany,Very close to downtown and easy access to highway. Mikitsy is easy to contact and replies quickly!
8148123,49161715,2015-10-01,44224876,Ian,Kate was a great host!  Very accommodating and got back to me promptly!  
8148123,49646619,2015-10-05,9851596,Thomas,Mikitsy was an excellent host.  The renters before us had made  somewhat of a mess but by the time we arrived she had the house looking like nothing ever happened.  She was helpful and friendly.  I would certainly stay with her again.
8148123,51203041,2015-10-18,40699961,Joseph,comfortable home in a  quiet neighborhood. a 10-15 minute ride to down town. Mikitsy was very easy to communicate with and responded right away. an enjoyable experience 
8148123,51959011,2015-10-25,33524235,Katerina,"Great Place- we've really enjoyed it.
Very clean and organised, it has everything we needed.

The only thing we've missed was the kettle- so if you a tea fan than be prepared to boil some water in the pot.
Location was great and we would definitely stay they next time we are in town.

6749902,36994722,2015-07-03,18934859,Sarah,Thanks guys!!
6749902,37271141,2015-07-05,30491480,Juan,Everything was just what I was looking for. I would stay again. Thanks Victor. 
6749902,37675753,2015-07-09,9303469,Todd,Nice home in safe area. Less than 30 minutes from downtown unless there is traffic. Friendly flexible welcome. House could use a good Spring cleaning but it was a good stay nonetheless. 
6749902,38086811,2015-07-12,31921051,Joe,Nice and quite place to stay. Close to downtown and a great host to stay with. I would recommend Victor to anyone needing a place to stay.
6749902,43930635,2015-08-23,35522031,Vic,"The listing was accurate and the house was centrally located, close to a bus stop, grocery store, and a bank. I drove to the bus stop (~7 min) and took the bus to the UT campus everyday, since parking on campus is such a hassle. Being close to Chinatown was an unexpected benefit."
6749902,47838526,2015-09-21,7018034,Sid,"I was welcomed by Victor's dad, who despite the language barrier was a friendly man. The neighborhood was very quiet. However, the place was just bare bones, which could use some cleaning. My stay here was okay, but if you are on a tight budget and are looking for some place to crash the nite then this might just do it."
6749902,51035227,2015-10-17,30478747,Bo,"Great location and quite neighborhood. Even though there is language barriers with Victor's father, he is super nice and helpful. "
6749902,52631053,2015-10-31,40660283,Tania,"My experience at Victor's home was one that was quite accommodating, his dad was very inviting and friendly. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay."
772828,3770878,2013-03-13,1942433,Kamyar,"Amazing place! The house is beautiful and even more charming than the pictures led me to believe. 

D'Ann was wonderful and accommodating. A really positive experience from start to finish. 

The location is pretty central while being serene and relaxing."
772828,3813088,2013-03-18,1763964,Tim,D'Ann was a very friendly and accommodating host. I was out and about most of the time but she was available to answer any questions I had. I would recommend the house to others and consider staying there again.
772828,10877135,2014-03-11,6906116,Tadashi,"It was very cozy room and D'Ann gave me a very good hospitality including early morning arrangement of the taxi cab to the Airport.

"
772828,10998713,2014-03-17,2276473,Paul,"Location:
The home is located ideally in East Austin, which is walking distance to many cool bars, great restaurants, Quicke Pickie Grocer (that sells a great selection of wine and beer), and 20 minute walk to central downtown Austin. We didn't need to use the bus while there, but we are also okay with walking in general. Despite being close to many things, the actual home is on a residential street and peaceful.

Apartment:
We had a large size apartment room with complete shower/bathroom with access to a patio (great hammocks set-up). Room was clean, with fresh towels, and bathroom had amenities. We had access to the kitchen and dining area, and D'Ann had coffee for us in the morning with English muffins, etc. The Inn is an historic building which was cool within itself to see.

Service:
D'Ann was an amazing host, friendly, responsive, and easy to get a hold of. She lives in one of the apartment rooms, and was on hand for our arrival and helped us with various sight-seeing suggestions and organizing cabs on departure.  Meeting and getting to know D'Ann was definitely an bonus to our trip."
772828,22216997,2014-11-01,8241998,Dave,"D'Ann was the perfect host; we were warmly welcomed, offered a cold beer on arrival from a day travelling, shown around the house beautiful old house and was happy for us to use ironing board and other amenities. 
The rooms are all great but the bed in Oat Willie is a little larger. The location means a short walk (5-10) minutes from the nearest 6th street bars and food stops, of which there are plenty of both. 
Lastly, the airport is ideally located about a 15-20 minute drive on a journey that does not hit any traffic (at least didn't for me at 8.45 on a Friday morning when the Formula 1 was in town and the east side of town was at a standstill).
Can't rate more highly. "
772828,22336000,2014-11-03,22931561,Venissa,"D'Ann was very polite great welcoming, the descriptive preview was very accurate and the neighborhood was calm and nice. I like that it was very ancient and is part of austin historical places."
772828,22608496,2014-11-10,1840093,Shane,"D'Ann's place was a pleasure to stay in. It was clean and had one of the comfiest beds I've ever slept on. It's a huge house that is divided into multiple rooms on the top floor. She had towels and toiletries around in case you need some. It's in East Austin, my favorite neighborhood with lots of food trucks, dive bars, and music venues nearby. "
772828,28118643,2015-03-18,8785369,Leigh,"The Inn at the Old School is a great place to stay. D'Ann was super helpful and fun to talk to and the house was incredible. It's a short walk to the convention center and downtown, but East Austin is really nice . My room was great, clean, etc. and the house itself is just a really pretty place to stay and relax. Thanks D'Ann! I'd recommend this place to friends visiting Austin for sure."
772828,28383088,2015-03-23,25826074,Shawn,D'Ann was an absolutely wonderful host. Her house is beautiful and in a great location for exploring all of what Austin has to offer.  She made us feel welcome and had some good advice when we asked about good restaurants close by. I would highly recommend staying in any of the rooms she offers and hope to stay here again on my next trip to Austin.
772828,33129153,2015-05-25,18564551,David,Fantastic!
772828,47639210,2015-09-21,36090273,Nicole,"I was visiting Austin, alone, for a convention.  There was no space at the downtown convention hotels, so I found D'Ann's home.  Thank goodness I did!  More than a home, it was my sanctuary while I was in Austin.   Upon arriving, I was struck by the setting:  beautiful white picket fence in the front, nice shady front and back yard.  This lovely 1875 home is so warm and welcoming.  D'Ann wasn't home when I arrived, but made sure that I had everything I needed when I got there.  I am a cat person, so her two beautiful kitties were also perfect hosts!  Everyday, I couldn't wait to leave the convention, so that I could go back ""home"" to relax.   Since I didn't have a car, she put me in touch with one of her cabbie friends, who became my friend also!   The location is so ideal.  Only about 5 minutes by car to downtown.  One day, I also walked about 10 minutes to the nearest light rail station, which was a breeze.  The light rail took me right to the convention.    When I had to leave for an early flight, before dawn, D'Ann helped me set up the transportation with her cabbie friend.   It was everything I could have imagined, and more.  Whenever I return to Austin, I will bring my husband and hopefully, stay at the ""Old School"" once again.  Thanks, D'Ann!
"
772828,49677995,2015-10-05,10587140,Sophie,A beautiful home and a wonderful host! My friend and I stayed in the oat willie room for 2 nights. The room had an entrance on the upstairs balcony and was very clean. Highly recommended!
772828,50727968,2015-10-13,3140493,Adrien,"Such an adorable, quaint, perfect little stay close to downtown Austin!!  Walking distance to everything downtown & easy to locate.  Host was quick to answer questions & communicate, would stay again.  Thanks!!"
772828,52116990,2015-10-26,45468455,Darren,"First time using Airbnb and had a great experience staying at D'Ann's. Location is close to downtown Austin which is ideal for those looking to get out & about. D'Ann offered the right mix of privacy and interaction, and was able to provide plenty of recommendations for good restaurants, places to go, etc. I'd definitely recommend staying here! "
4156129,32612982,2015-05-19,4357742,Megan,"Craig's has a beautiful, spacious home just 2 short miles from downtown Austin. The living area is very comfortable and clean! There were bikes available to use during our stay. We were really able to see all of Austin. With the use of uber, we had a 5-6 minute ride to downtown Austin where we explored South Congress St., Rainey St., 6th St. The house was decorated very neat. I will definitely stay at Craig's house when I visit Austin again! :) He is very friendly and accomodating to work with.  "
4156129,48867921,2015-09-29,35488776,Aundria,"Craig was great!  He was very friendly and accommodating of our management team.  We leased the spot for 3 months and he made us feel very comfortable.  Thanks, Craig!  We appreciate it!  "

Craig is super accommodating, and quite the gentlemen! 
I would recommend staying here 100%"
4156129,50428461,2015-10-12,11205497,Nick,"Craig's condo is awesome!  We rented the spot for ACL 2015.  It is approximately a $5 - $7 Uber or Lyft to Zilker or downtown.  The bikes  in the garage were a great way to get around town as well.  The condo itself is nicely furnished, very comfortable, clean, and quiet.  It's central location makes it a perfect ""home base"" from which to explore the city.  He had a really cool personal touch with his guitars decorating the wall (look, but don't touch!). Our group of 7 slept comfortably here.  There is a pretty excellent taco trailer right down the street (1 block), and one of the coolest coffee shop/bars I've been to within a 2 block walk.  Craig was very responsive to any questions we had, and I would enthusiastically recommend his condo to anyone visiting Austin that needs room for a few extra people."
4156129,51207283,2015-10-18,45924659,Josh,This place ROCKED! Beautiful condo and the added touches such as guitars and bikes made this place even better!

It was a little far to walk to 6th or S Congress, but a cheap cab ride to either. Also a quick 15 mins from the airport. Very comfy for our group, I would stay here again."
971402,33200108,2015-05-25,30444741,Jeff,Hector's place was exactly as advertised.  It was very nice and comfortable.  The soap and extra tooth brushes and toothpastes were a nice touch.  I would definitely stay here again.
971402,33345227,2015-05-26,30444741,Jeff,"House was clean and spacious, exactly how advertised.  great place to stay, would definitely return again."

279476,1338347,2012-05-23,2401996,Bassam,"GREAT HOST. 
The Place is super clean and convenient to everything."
279476,1651766,2012-07-07,2403046,Donna,"to please and help in any way.  I should also mention that this is a great location and a great price for a place so covenient in Austin.  From the outside you will wonder where you have arrived.  On this inside, however, you will find a series of rooms in a quad layout around a central area that houses the office and kitchen.  The whole place is spotlessly clean!  What I personally failed to understand from the listing is that the room shown does NOT have an ensuite bathroom.  There is shared bathroom space in the hall.  Of course, sharing is only necessary if there are other guests.  To accommodate me, Andrea offered me the only room that has a private bath area (shower/toilet in room).  That was really nice of her and would have been perfect except that the hot water tank had not been installed properly so there was no hot water.  I presume that this problem will have been fixed by now, but I would have been remiss to not mention it.  I must also say that the air-conditioning is a little spotty depending on which room you are assigned.  Mine was uncomfortably warm (I was told later that Andrea would have fixed that for me!), but every room does have an oscillating fan which helps.  All in all I think I would return if I needed another budget stay for a short time.  Thanks, Andrea!~"
279476,3790133,2013-03-15,4924726,Michael,"Andrea is an incredibly gracious and generous host. I had a great time staying with her. The services she provides (shuttle, food, laundry) are great value-adds, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. 

The location is a bit far from downtown Austin, but again, Andrea's shuttle service is great, and negated that issue.

The space was simple, clean and comfortable. Towels and linens were all provided. I had a great time there!"
279476,3883665,2013-03-24,5508364,Bree,"Andrea was wonderful.  She's incredibly sweet and accommodating, even going to the extent of car shopping for a day and a half to try to give her ""tenants"" a rental car option."
279476,8205647,2013-10-20,962515,Sarah,"Andrea is the sweetest, most accommodating host. This place is like an insta-home, equipped with everything one could possibly need when traveling. Washing machine, home cooked meals, medicinal teas, community, privacy, yes! "
279476,9474112,2013-12-30,10355366,Siew Choo,"We are a famliy of 4 and we stayed with Andrea for more than 10 days.The room, bathroom, kitchen and the entire place is very tidy , clean and comfortable. We loved the food cooked by Andrea and the breakfast she provided..On Xmas Eve, Andrea even hosted a party for all the tenants ! Andrea has gone out of her way to help us navigate around Austin, often ferrying us around for our trips to UT, grocery shopping, picked us up at the airport (we had  a lot of luggages !) and even helped us  move to our new apartment in Austin!. Both Andrea and George are very kind, thoughtful  and helpful. We also met many other nice tenants from different countries, often during meal times at the kitchen, who have now became our friends whom we will keep in touch with after leaving this place. The atmosphere in the entire place is one that is very friendly and fun, yet quiet and private. Overall, we are extremely impressed and satisfied with the hospitality and help from Andrea and George throughout our whole stay. We will highly recommend this place to others. They are not just a host. They treat every tenant like their family and look after them. This is what makes the greatest difference. We will definitely recommend this place ! We count ourselves lucky to have chosen this place and to have had the opportunity to meet Andrea, George and the rest of the tenants here. One million likes to Andrea !!! Keep up the great work. "

279476,16536360,2014-07-28,10970156,Kayli,"Andrea gave me very clear directions to the property and was so sweet even when I got lost (my fault, not due to her directions).  She continued to help me find my way through my confusion.  I arrived much later than I had planned (I did call and keep her updated on my arrival time), but she oozed pleasure at meeting me and my boys when we did get there.  The room was clean and well-appointed, very attractive .  She had moved a very comfortable couch to accommodate 3 people in the room instead of 2.  She had a fully stocked fridge and kitchen for us to use.  The location was right off the freeway but exceptionally quiet.  Much more so than I had anticipated.  The bed was marvelously comfortable.   We would definitely stay here again! "
279476,20859403,2014-10-06,21167993,Aine,"My two friends and I had an absolutely wonderful stay with Andrea. She is a very kind and lovely woman! She made sure our stay was as comfortable as it could be by providing food, extra bedding, shampoo, shower gel, she even bought us a BBQ on our first night to celebrate our first visit to Austin. Getting places was never a problem as she was always willing to drop us at various hotspots, she also drove us all the way to San Antonio for the day so we could see a bit more of Texas. The room was clean and spacious, and I will definitely be returning if I'm ever back in Austin - what a terrific woman!"
279476,21276109,2014-10-14,8773210,Elizabeth,"Andrea made our stay feel like home. It almost felt as if I were staying with a relative! Andrea is very accommodating to needs of her guests!  I stayed in the Austin Zen Stay room with two other friends. The room and restrooms were clean upon arrival! Andrea, truly cares about the comfort of her guests, if you ask she will deliver. She offers ride services and car rentals which is great! The car rental was a great option to have while on trip! I would definitely recommend everyone and anyone to stay here! It's super comfy! Thank you Andrea for everything you were greats

279476,34768377,2015-06-12,28780880,Joe,"Andrea is a great hostess.  She is very personable and does everything she can to make you welcome - including food for continental breakfast, coffee and tea, fruit and treats.  She fixes meals that are for guests on some days.  Rooms and communal kitchen are clean and match descriptions, and price is economical based on location.  Great for long stay for relocation or short stays for people who want to meet others staying there!!!   Stay is generally quiet without undue noise.  "

2528473,10994474,2014-03-16,11947462,Loren,"My friend and I almost had a crisis on our hands when our SXSW crash pad fell through last minute. By what must have been fate, I stumbled across Marcella and Meredith's beautiful little garden cottage, and they completely saved the day. Staying there was a dream, from the adorable decorations to the peaceful setting-- we didn't want to leave. The cottage is clean, comfortable and basically all we needed at the end of our busy days and nights covering the festival. The location was a bit off the beaten path in terms of access to downtown, but with the bus stop just a two minute walk from our door, it was not a problem whatsoever. We hope to come back and spend more time just enjoying the beautiful property-- hopefully the sooner the better! Thanks ladies!!"
2528473,11085312,2014-03-19,6323537,Tim,"Marcella & Meredith's Garden Cottage was SUCH a dream! The space is extremely cozy, clean & welcoming, with a really unique and fun design style. The bed is unbelievably comfortable; the bathroom is big; the walk-in shower is also big with great temperature & water pressure; you're provided with everything you'll need (fridge, lots of lamps, a desk, chairs, microwave, toaster, shampoo/soap, bus maps of Austin, etc...). They also made very helpful little ""What to do in Austin"" books to help you enjoy your visit. Both Marcella & Meredith were really cool & wonderful people to get to know. They were also both very helpful & responsive to all of my questions/calls/texts both before my stay and during. Also, I know their pig Fern gets a lot of attention, but I have to say that their two dogs are pretty outstanding, too!

In short, my Austin vacation was great, but the city itself was almost overshadowed by M&M's amazing Garden Cottage. At the end of the day, I found myself more excited over the prospect of coming back to the Cottage than I was over staying out! Anyway, this place is amazing & I can't say enough good words about it. I have zero complaints & I can't wait until next time I get to stay here, as this will definitely be my go-to place for Austin trips from now on! 

Thanks M&M!

2528473,11269604,2014-03-27,13045930,Monte,Marcella was a wonderful host and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. We were very happy with the overall experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to our friends. 
2528473,11306385,2014-03-29,12089276,Carla,Super gracious and friendly! The cottage was very clean and  the decor was awesome! We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Austin! Thanks for having us!!
2528473,11592462,2014-04-08,12979707,Eliza,"We absolutely loved our time in Marcella's garden cottage. The decor is fabulous - my fiance, upon seeing the place, turned to me and said, ""I can tell by looking around that these are really great people."" The bed is insanely comfortable, the cottage's bathroom has a really great shower, and if it's raining the tin roof of the cottage makes the most wonderful sound. It's like a little oasis away from the world! Also, the English toffee they leave in the cottage as a little treat for their guests is seriously addictive.

Beyond that, Marcella and her family are genuinely lovely. I'm sorry we didn't visit more with them, but what we did was great. They made us feel like we were staying with family friends. We cannot recommend this place highly enough!"
2528473,11872525,2014-04-17,13936112,Bonnie,"Our stay in the Garden Cottage was perfect. It was so cozy and comfortable.  Marcella and Meredith were lovely and gracious hostesses, always available and offering assistance.  The yard and the wonderful pets were a little bit of heaven.  These ladies have created quite a special oasis in Austin.  We will definitely recommend this property to our friends.
Thank you M&M!

2528473,11966087,2014-04-20,8442896,Melina,Charming cottage and wonderful people and pets!  We had everything we needed (and more.)  I can't recommend this place highly enough.  
2528473,12126634,2014-04-23,7955931,Linda & Asher,"We had a lovely stay at Marcella's, and even made a few new four-legged friends! The space was tidy and cozy, with a bed you could spend the whole day in. The  bus into downtown was easy to locate but we found often off-schedule, so those ok with the occasional cab ride or those traveling with cars are recommended for this stay. "
2528473,12338614,2014-04-29,11725513,Natalia,"Marcella's Garden Cottage is exactly like described - a true oasis and slice of paradise in East Austin. The garden setting is gorgeous but also reflects the beautiful home and family that Marcella and Meredith have created. We loved talking with Marcella and her daughters, exploring the garden and hanging out with the pets..... especially Fern! Marcella was gracious and a wonderful host. She engaged with us when we wanted to hang out and also let us bring some friends over to show off her beautiful home and pets - she even showed us some of Fern's very cool pet tricks. 

The cottage itself is very comfortable and has tremendous character. We loved being there, inside and out. I highly recommend the cottage and would stay there again in an instant next time we are in Austin!"
2528473,12658947,2014-05-07,8522480,Betsy,"We LOVED staying at the Garden Cottage. It was so nice to come home to every day - it was clean, convenient and affordable. 

Marcy and Meredith were great hosts and we enjoyed being surrounded by their friendly animals. I would definitely recommend this to a friend. "

The place is super sweet and cozy and has everything you need for staying a few nights. The animals were such a wonderful touch and we spent a lot of time with them (they love the attention). I would recommend this place to anyone who is friendly, and wants a good unique Austin experience. Great people and great place would love to go back again some day soon. "

Austin is so cool also. "

The cottage is absolutely adorable, and our hosts provided coffee, tea, water, and samples of homemade English toffee, in addition to a list of things to do in Austin. We loved sitting under the lighted trellis every night and listening to the chorus of tree frogs; the whole experience was a relaxing getaway. What Marcella and Meredith are doing for their foster kids is amazing, and we were happy to enjoy a beautiful place for a great cause!

If we come back to Austin, we'll come back to the cottage. It's as simple as that!"
2528473,13462221,2014-05-27,8286305,Alexandra,"we were so charmed by marcella + meredith's space. we got there late and left early, so unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to meet them, however we showed up to a glowy backyard and the most perfect little space to call home for the night. i kept saying ""oh my gosh, i wish i lived here!"" as i wandered around, with rifle paper products on the walls and sparkling white subway tile in the bathroom. we were so thrilled to find out the money from airbnb goes to supporting their family-- including kids in the foster system. next time i'm in austin, i'll be calling this place home once again. thank you!"
2528473,13541113,2014-05-30,14700983,Elisa,"This was a great location, well situated for any Austin top ten list. Our first trip to Austin would not have been as memorable and special if we had stayed elsewhere. Comfortable and fun! Thank you. "

It is the perfect place to relax, but with all the attractions of Austin very close by. The property is even better than expected, and the hospitality was exceptional! We will definitely be back to stay with them and I highly recommend it to everyone traveling to Austin!"
2528473,14454966,2014-06-19,16722834,Aj,I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the cottage.  It was the perfect choice for a nice relaxing couple of days. Which was the reason for my trip to Austin. Marcella was a great host and made me feel welcomed and comfortable.  Will stay again in the future and totally recommend. ☆Truly simplicity at it's finest☆

Her home is an oasis in a perfect location just outside of Downtown but still close to all of the attractions. The room is immaculate, full of character and very comfortable. The garden is beautiful and our little daughter loved being there and visiting with the animals. Our hosts thought of every detail for a perfect stay. We couldn't recommend staying here more!"
2528473,15443322,2014-07-09,11772618,Matthew,"What can we say? There aren't enough words to describe the great stay we had in M&Ms Garden Cottage oasis! Clean, comfortable, cozy- beats the pants off of staying at a hotel any day! 
We traveled to ATX for a week with our 1 year old daughter who loved the animals, garden and spacious yard. Our friend traveled with us and stayed in the awesome Air Stream across the yard and is just as pleased.
M&M were gracious hosts and gave us a few ideas on where to go and what to see off the beaten path. Our daughter enjoyed sharing toys and playing with their daughters, who were all very polite and kind. It was a great week and coming back to the cottage to enjoy the yard from a lounge chair was the icing on the cake. 

-Area was mostly quiet and conveniently located.
-off street parking
-close to grocery stores, coffee shops and eateries. 
-located 10-25 min away from all of the ""main attractions""
-they have a pig 
-room is beautifully furnished and decorated. bed is amazingly comfortable
- dresser and closet for clothes (yep this is important to me:)
-coffee and refrigerator provided 
- books and guides to the city in the room

2528473,15560579,2014-07-11,17718876,Thomas,"The cottage is every bit as charming as it looks in pictures, and even more welcoming. Travel can get a little stressful, so it's great to find a place where you can feel completely relaxed and at home almost instantly. It's rare to meet such kind and genuine hosts as Marcella and her family, who can make guests feel completely welcomed while giving them plenty of space.

If you're looking for a beautiful and relaxing stay for a very modest price, this is your place.

2528473,15788772,2014-07-15,17564716,Luis,"What a cute and unique place to stay! I would recommend their place over any hotel room in the city! If you truly want a taste of what Austin culture is all about, eclectic artwork and decor, free range chickens, and gracious hospitality, homemade toffee and jams, this place has it all.

2528473,16569225,2014-07-29,17574386,Stacy,"We had a wonderful time in Austin. The garden cottage is comfortable and charming. Even with 100 degree heat we stayed cool in the cottage. Location was ideal for us. Far enough away from downtown to feel more relaxed, but still within 15 minutes of everything. There's a new grocery really close by."
2528473,16676928,2014-07-31,1505866,Wesley,"We loved our stay at the garden cottage!  Even though we were there for only 1 night, Meredith and Marcella were great hostesses.  They greeted us when we arrived and gave us all the info we needed.  It was very peaceful and the backyard is full of fun, fury friends.  My wife loved their cat especially.  The place is cozy and uniquely decorated.  There is an info booklet for great suggestions on where to eat and go (and free homemade toffee!) We were also only 10-15 minutes from practically everything we wanted to do and see.  We'd definitely stay there again. "
2528473,16995361,2014-08-05,17115577,Austine,"The cottage was great; just as ""advertised"". Enough room for the two of us, hot water plenty for showering, nice bed, large closet, a great little desk for writing or working on your laptop. Just an overall super comfortable place to stay. The mini fridge was amazingly large inside, we could fit a lot of stuff in it, there is a coffee pot (with coffee) & microwave as well.
We had the place to ourselves for most of our stay as our hosts were out of town.  The yard and cottage both are such a beautiful, peaceful, well thought out use of space. It is a yard that you don't want to leave! Quite the creative team, there is a bit of whimsy at every turn. This is the place you want to stay when visiting Austin, a bit of the country (chickens, cats, dogs, an itty bitty piglet) in an urban environment. My favorite is their ""Bucket List"" of things to do in and around Austin. Oh & the toffee is to die for! I highly recommend staying here."
2528473,17077357,2014-08-06,6513282,Lauren,Marvels and her awesome posse were such incredible hosts. Their little hideaway was a great Austin experience and I'll definitely be staying with them again in the future when I make my way back to Austin!

Driving downtown from here is easy, and it's a quick shot over to the drag, the triangle, etc.  There's also a nice grocery store as well as a large park within a few blocks.  Marcy is a great host, and we hope to visit again.  Thank you!"

We enjoyed the welcome toffees and the quirky setting the cottage was situated in. It was quiet and away from the city, but a quick 15 minutes brings you into the city centre. They were both very very friendly, the cottage was clean and comfortable. It was an awesome experience. Thanks guys :)"

We love the design of our little cottage, it has an Austin spirit to it and the location was great ! Excellent bar/restaurants a bike or drive close by. We travel a lot to Austin for our work (wedding photography) and we used to book our hotels online through a very famous site...not any more ! we love our stay here and look forward to coming back.

Thank you so much for a great experience, we are telling all our friends about your lovely place.

2528473,18881391,2014-09-02,17459534,Brian,"In short, this was great. I liked staying in a cottage instead of a hotel as it felt like I was coming home every night. It's location in East Austin is only a short drive from downtown and we had no problem getting to all the restaurants and things we wanted to check out. Marcella was very warm and inviting and made us feel right at home. The two dogs are a joy and would remind me around 8:30 to get out of bed and go do things!  We had the added experience of helping one of the cats deliver her litter. By help I mean I let her inside. I would definitely stay with them again if I were to visit Austin again."
2528473,19055186,2014-09-05,10531163,Morgan,"Our stay with Marcella was magical! The space they have created is peaceful, beautiful, and better than the pictures. We had such a relaxing and wonderful experience at their home that we almost forgot to go see the rest of Austin! Marcella and her partner were very accommodating and great with communication. They offer great advice and materials for sight seeing and for enjoying Austin as locals do. The bed was very very comfy and the atmosphere of the place is great, being surrounded by gardens, happy children, and animals. I actually hope to model my future home after this one! I would highly recommend this place! "

The sweet, artistic details throughout the cottage and gorgeous gardens were such a pleasure, as were the animals that share the yard. This was exactly what I was looking for in Austin - a warm, welcoming cottage with a relaxing Austin feel. The space had everything we needed including a great WiFi connection and a super air conditioner to keep things cool. Marcella is a wonderful host - she made my husband and I feel very welcome, was available to answer any questions we had, and has created a great atmosphere to share with her guests. I highly recommend this listing, and would stay here again in a heartbeat next time I visit Texas. "
2528473,19385825,2014-09-11,1561879,Chloe,This was one of my best ever airbnb experiences. Would highly recommend!
2528473,19530938,2014-09-14,17887031,Erinn,"M & M's Garden cottage was as dreamy in person as the pictures you see online! My stay, though short, was wonderful! I slept perfectly in the cloud of a bed after exploring austin all day long. The space is quiet, adorable, and the yard is filled with the sweetest pets to keep you from missing yours back home. I would stay here again in a heart beat! "
2528473,19618269,2014-09-15,9077581,Kat,"We didn't have a chance to meet Marcella, but we enjoyed our brief stay in the colorful cottage.  The pig pen is on one side of the cottage and the large yard is on the other; it's so easy to forget that one is in a capital city.  It was a pleasant stay."
2528473,19683816,2014-09-16,19725000,Eileen,"Being a guest from out of state on a mission to explore all that Austin has to offer, I was drawn to this particular location due to its close proximity to Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon (chicken shit bingo every Sunday is a must see). The cottage is a short drive north of downtown Austin, accessible to major roads and highways, and easy to locate in a well lit, safe neighborhood. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Meredith. She gave us a welcoming tour of the cottage and then retreated back into the house. Any notions of being homesick were out the door at this point. We felt very much at home and comforted by her kindness. Meredith and Marcella are happy and positive people. They put the needs of others ahead of their own. The family is not only friendly and easy to talk to, but also considerate and mindful of their guests. We were especially happy to roam about the backyard getting to know all the different animals, each in their own personal areas. Most notably, Shiner, the cutest pig in Austin (not to play favorites). If you have the pleasure of staying with MM, be sure put an order in for homemade toffee before you leave. We also enjoyed shopping at Blue Velvet Vintage, Breakaway Records and savoring a house made Twinkie from Drink.Well, all local. We look forward to staying at the cottage (or maybe the airstream next time??) should we find ourselves back in the Austin area."
2528473,19797237,2014-09-18,5871208,Timothy,Marcella was a great host and the house was great. Location was a bit far but shouldn't be an issue if you have a car.
2528473,19886910,2014-09-20,13165213,Michaela,"Enjoyed a cozy and comfortable stay in the garden cottage while in town for a convention.  It was easy to locate and only about 15 minutes from the convention center.  The cottage had everything we needed, the bed was comfortable, and the hosts were accommodating.  Unfortunately, we didn't get to spend much time with the hosts or much daylight time at the cottage during this stay, but I will definitely stay again if it's available whenever I am back in town.  Thanks for making this such an easy and comfortable stay."
2528473,20016501,2014-09-22,16190930,Erin,"I rented this space for my sister and best friend to stay in while visiting me over the weekend. They LOVED it. They enjoyed the space, the animals, the hosts, and the toffee! They area already talking about when they can come back and stay there again. It's a beautiful place "
2528473,20091327,2014-09-23,2948396,Michaela,"The Garden Cottage is truly a home sweet home with all the accoutraments necessary for an overnight stay in Austin.  Among the creative decor and the coffee and delicious toffee, the bed is topped with perhaps one of the most comfortable mattresses on the planet making for a restful sleep.  Everything was delightful!"
2528473,20206231,2014-09-25,11447151,Anna,"Marcella was very kind! We were greeted with her delicious homemade toffee, a darling piglet, and a great list of suggestions of what to do and see around Austin. The house itself is the cutest thing! Very artsy. Everything worked great, and the air conditioning was such a treat after days of walking outside for hours! Highly recommended. "
2528473,20266082,2014-09-26,10017519,Thacksine,Charming space. Basic Target brand toiletries. Delicious toffee at check in. Delightful hosts & a darling pig to boot. Their dog & rooster did not cause any noise problems for us. Will def be back next time we are in Austin! Thx for everything M&M.
2528473,20552365,2014-10-01,4731542,Katie,"Marcella's garden cottage was beyond anything we could have hoped for. The pictures didn't even do it justice. Everything about this place  was cozy, from the bed to the decor to the toffee that was awaiting us on our arrival. It was also wonderful to help support their endeavors in being foster parents. It was such a treat to wake up on our last morning to Shiner the pig walking around the backyard...! "
2528473,20685358,2014-10-04,5040298,Bev,"We loved staying at the Garden Cottage. It was nicely done inside, the bed was so comfortable and it was quiet and private. Marcella and Meredith are very nice women and we especially enjoyed meeting there family. The cottage is even cuter than described and we would stay again when we are in Austin."
2528473,20812015,2014-10-06,16000217,Megan,"We loved staying at this great garden cottage with Marcella and family!  So many warm and welcoming touches - the toffee is to die for, the little pig in the back yard melts hearts, and Marcella gave us a lot of great hints about how to get around Austin.  They left a list of local favorites in the room, which was really helpful to us as well!  At the last minute, our flight changed and we wanted to stay an extra day.  Marcella and family were soooo accommodating!  We have already talked about staying here again and bringing our kiddo with us this next time.  "
2528473,21594597,2014-10-20,21149197,Samantha,"I had a lovely time at Marcella's cottage during my recent solo weekend trip to Austin. It was picture-perfect: relaxing, private, quaint, and adorably decorated. The backyard full of frisky and friendly animals was an added treat. I hope to return in the spring with my husband in tow! "
2528473,21748204,2014-10-23,20399300,Amy Nicole,"We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay. In fact, I've been missing that cozy bed and craving that delicious toffee that was waiting for us when we arrived. My friends and family I'm sure are tired of us raving about our stay at the cottage. We are going to bring our entire family back in the spring. Thank you and your family for making our anniversary one to remember for a very long time! It was more than perfect!! "
2528473,21848012,2014-10-25,22242003,Shelby,"Staying at Marcella's was really great. The cottage was so sweet and comfortable, we felt very at home there. The yard is beautiful and their pets were incredibly friendly and cute. We would absolutely stay there again. It's a little bit outside the main Austin area but only about a ten minute drive from everything. "
2528473,22013038,2014-10-28,3424723,Claire,We really enjoyed our 3 night stay in the Garden Cottage. It was very homely and we always got a great nights sleep in the comfy bed. We loved meeting all of the pets living in the garden - especially the piggy! The location was convenient and we felt very safe in the neighborhood. 
2528473,22136026,2014-10-31,5270696,Jon,"We came to visit Austin to unwind for a few days and this adorable cottage was the perfect place to find peace and relaxation.  The setting is lovely and the company (including two awesome dogs, some friendly kitties, a few chickens and Shiner the Pig) was delightful.  An absolute gem, and our new home when we're in Austin!"
2528473,22353888,2014-11-04,1547011,Noelle,This is an adorable cottage and very cozy and fun.  The garden is lovely and the warm welcome from Marcella and her family make it all the more special. Marcella helped make our stay comfortable and responded quickly to our every request. This is a wonderful place and a lovely hostess.
2528473,22440281,2014-11-06,10830827,Caitlin & Chais,"We had an adorable time at the cottage. We loved the pets! Everything was cozy, private and accommodating. It was also pretty easy to get to downtown as the bus was a very short walk away. We would definitely stay there again."
2528473,22474459,2014-11-07,22025796,Megan,"Marcella's cottage was absolutely lovely. Upon arriving, she guided us through the glowing bulb lit backyard and showed us our room.  The space was exactly as pictured, quaint and homey. The bed was like sleeping on a giant loofa, so comfortable. She left complimentary lotions, soaps and water in the fridge. Finally, the pet pig who's sleeping quarters were in the backyard was a cute and surprising plus! Definitely coming back to this quirky spot :)"
2528473,22485273,2014-11-08,6938513,Kyle,"Check in was very easy, Marcella accommodated to my schedule as plans changed.  The cottage was very cozy and beautifully decorated.  It was a great experience and I would love to stay again on future visits to Austin."
2528473,22522718,2014-11-09,20771877,Savannah,"This was our first AirBnB experience and it was exactly what we were looking for. Marcella and the whole gang made us feel very welcome and the space was quirky and cozy but also very clean and well maintained. Getting to hang out with chickens, a baby pig, dogs, cats and some entertaining kids beat staying in a hotel any day. I would without a doubt come back and really regret how short our stay was. I would highly recommend this place to just about anyone. Though we were a little removed from the downtown core, it was a convenient and short bus ride right into downtown and only a $15 cab ride back home at the end of the night. I can't praise this place any more- come check it out for yourself!"
2528473,22791042,2014-11-15,20761332,Maria,"I would most definitely stay in the Garden Cottage again! I came to Austin for a conference, and was not able to spend much ""hanging out"" time at the cottage, but I loved being able to come ""home"" to it at the end of the day. Marcella left some toffee for us in the room and it was SO good! I loved the experience. It's such a cute oasis in the backyard. I was easy to find and I felt really safe/happy at the Garden Cottage. It was wonderful. "
2528473,22944853,2014-11-18,20543706,Leah,"Very charming property (airstream, cottage, and grounds), and very hospitable hosts...all species of hosts!"
2528473,23290539,2014-11-28,11487387,Rhona,We had a lovely time staying with Marcella and her lovely family. We were made to feel very welcome but also left to our own devices....I would recommend this accommodation for staying on Austin it was only a short bus rose a away from all the main attractions. They have lots of pets and very sweet children. We loved Austin!!!!
2528473,23494971,2014-12-02,12428713,Marina,"This was the perfect location for us to explore Austin. The cottage was  a sweet oasis, full of lovely touches and endless charm. The outdoor space is a little slice of paradise: chickens, Shiner the pig, sweet dogs and cats, plus a beautiful garden. Our hosts were incredibly responsive, caring, and made some of the best toffee we have ever had. We highly recommend this magical spot and will come back the next time we visit Austin."
2528473,23535997,2014-12-03,22221545,Courtney,The cottage was lovely and Marcella was a great host. It was perfect for a quick one night stop-over in Austin and I'd be happy to come back and stay again. Marcella quickly replaced a space heater that went kaput (temps droped the day we arrived) and the place was warm and inviting. Marcella met us at the car to welcome us and responded quickly to any questions we had. The decor and layout of the space is great (we loved the ceiling especially). Shiner the pig and the chickens were an added bonus!
2528473,23745522,2014-12-09,10310125,Megan,"Everything about the cottage was perfect! Cozy bed, great decor, great location. Marcella and Meredith were so gracious as hosts, and the cats, dogs, chickens and pig made us feel so loved! We would stay again, in a heartbeat."
2528473,23798366,2014-12-10,8858728,Sarah,Beautiful space with great energy. Close to downtown. Easy check in and out. 
2528473,23955993,2014-12-15,23769197,Paul,On the positive the room was detached from the house with a private bath.  It was clean and plenty of information on Austin was on the desk.  On the negative this house is on the approach to the Austin Airport so there was jet noise going until around midnight.  Additionally there was an animal scratching on the ceiling periodically throughout the night.  It sounded like it was in the ceiling but it may have been on the roof.  I was scheduled to stay three nights but due to the jet noise and animal scratching I opted to stay in a hotel for the next two nights. 
2528473,24063547,2014-12-18,2357004,Michelle,"I could not have asked for anything better! The property, the animals, the garden shed, we're all absolutely charming and beautiful.  The hosts are so sweet and I felt very at home and comfortable. I traveled to Austin last minute after a very sudden death. It meant so much to have somewhere so beautiful and peaceful to stay. Thank you!! "
2528473,24228612,2014-12-23,159820,Jason+Indhi,"We had a wonderful stay at Marcella's. The place is cozy and authentic. I loved the simple, yet unique decor. If you are an animal lover, you are in for a special treat! You'll meet Miss Shiner (the piggy), the chickens, kitties and two cute dogs.. All there welcoming you. Couldn't have asked for more!"
2528473,24663544,2015-01-01,9183175,Alyssa,"This place is amazing! I booked it for my wedding photographer to stay at and when we went to visit, the space was amazing. The photos are a perfect representation and there were cute furry friends abound! Marcella was helpful, super sweet and laidback. I will stay here myself in future trips to Austin!"
2528473,24952570,2015-01-04,8761956,Derek,"The Garden cottage was unique, clean and made for a memorable stay. If you are looking for a close place (~2mi) to downtown with perfect hosts, look no further. "
2528473,25434773,2015-01-16,11574849,Tess,"Marcella's east Austin home was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to spend our week. We spent our first few nights in the air stream which was cozy and comfortable- perfect for two!! We spent outr last few nights in their garden cottage which was a but larger than the airstream and every bit as homeie. We love animals and found the visiting with their dogs, cats and Shiner (the piggy) were just what we needed when we were missing our pup who stayed home. Their location is easy to find and convent, we were about a ten minute drive from downtown and very close to the North Loop (vintage shopping) as well as some great breakfast places. Five stars!"
2528473,25541453,2015-01-19,23707067,Sara,"Marcella's garden cottage was every bit as adorable as the photo and I felt incredibly comfortable there! The bed was so cozy and I slept very deeply. I loved visiting with and photographing the chickens, cats, dogs - and especially the PIG! Despite the ""Beware of Pig"" sign on their gate, the pig is soooo adorable, and actually quite friendly. ;) I got a bit teary-eyed as I read the book Marcella and her partner had left on the desk, telling their beautiful, personal story, too. And the candy they made was delicious, and I ate it all. :)

When my Lyft driver first took me to their place from the airport, it seemed initially like we were leaving town. I think I was skeptical only because my driver was questioning where we were going and I started second-guessing about whether or not I had the correct address. Then, we reentered some civilization and quickly made it to their place. It absolutely makes sense that they are not right in the center of town, though, considering they have a little, urban farm of sorts. I actually found it easy to get a Lyft to and from their place rather than renting a car.

I didn't get the chance to meet the family; our schedules just didn't align. I'm quite sure they are great people and I would've enjoyed them very much!"
2528473,25738436,2015-01-25,1551782,Natura,"The place is just as it looks online, very adorable and cozy. We needed to change our plans and they took us in a day early on VERY short notice. It was raining extremely hard, which caused a roof leak. As soon as we informed her, she fixed it immediately to ensure we were dry and comfortable.  Great hosts."
2528473,26148040,2015-02-04,27106431,Briana,"Driving up to the house, you are greeted with string lights on a wooden fence with the view of the adorable stone wall home. Once you enter the backyard, it's like you escape into a bohemian oasis. When first opening the door to the cottage, I was just taken aback by how bohemian and vintage the place was. From the shutter/door ceiling to the vintage coffee table and toaster oven this place screamed comfort and relaxation. The soft lighting and heater in the bathroom made the stay cozy. The mattress on the bed made me not want to get up in the morning! I could not recommend this place more highly! The book that the host left on the desk describing their family and why they host is phenomenal. "
2528473,26179165,2015-02-06,5035830,Dan,"If you're in need of lodging in Austin, we can't recommend highly enough staying at Marcella's Garden Cottage (or her air stream, which has it's own airbnb page). She a gracious host and her property is just magical. We hope to be back soon!"
2528473,26311852,2015-02-09,25952477,Rachel,We loved our stay in Austin! Marcella and family were so welcoming and provided a beautiful space that we didn't want to leave. The homemade toffee is incredible too :)
2528473,26380061,2015-02-10,26926177,Chase,"So nice, we stayed twice"
2528473,26410487,2015-02-11,26926177,Chase,Wonderful & responsive people. Charming cottage. Peaceful backyard. Scrumptious toffee.
2528473,26973421,2015-02-23,883209,Ann,"We enjoyed our stay at M&M's. The little cottage is very cute, the bed is very comfy, the toffee was delicious. We arrived late in the evening, and per Marcella's directions, let ourselves in. We didn't actually see a lot of M&M, but when we did, they were friendly. We had one maintenance issue that Meredith dealt with promptly. We opted not to rent a car, and that is actually pretty doable. The house is about a five-minute walk from one bus line and a ten- to fifteen-minute walk from another. We would recommend this rental."
2528473,27185425,2015-02-27,28055128,Gretchen,Lovely garden cottage with very friendly hosts. The toffee was amazing!! We also loved that there was a pig!!! 
2528473,27426505,2015-03-04,23638309,Jenny,"My husband and I stayed at this sweet little cottage for our late honeymoon, and it was the best little home away from home we could ask for. Despite the dreary weather outside, we stayed nice and cozy the whole time. Marcella is such a wonderful host, and she has such a darling family. Next time we're in Austin, we have plans to stay here again!"
2528473,27550702,2015-03-07,28063487,Shawn,The cottage was everything in the listing and more. A great place to spend a couple of fun days in Austin. Would recommend to anybody looking for an interesting laid back environment. The bed was ridiculously comfortable and the toffee was outstanding.
2528473,27646648,2015-03-09,16422970,Laura,"We had such a great vacation at our garden oasis! M&M made us feel so welcome and like a part of their family. The cottage was really cute for the two of us and plently of space - plus coffee and toffee are the way to my heart. A little further from town so I would recommend a car but definitely worth the drive, it's beautiful! Plus the house is surrounded by cute animals, lots of children and love. What a great cause to use Airbnb for. I will be recommending them to all of my friends!"
2528473,27793105,2015-03-12,25518781,Jeni,"Marcella was great! as i mentioned in my other review for the airstream, we stayed in both the garden shed and the airstream, but the garden shed was my favourite! its set up is just darling and super cute, and a perfect space for a couple. the bathroom exceeded my expectations ( i wasnt sure what to expect, honestly) and everything was just as promised. its even more beautiful in person. 
"
2528473,27910227,2015-03-14,8520659,Megan,"The Garden Cottage is glorious! The room is airy and bright, with a bed you could sleep in all day long. Marcella was great at communication, and their backyard is a beautiful, peaceful respite from the city. "
2528473,28157462,2015-03-19,358714,Sébastien,"Really nice experience in Austin. This garden cottage is really beautiful and peaceful. It's a bit far from downtown but you will not regret it because at the end of the day, it's so charming and relaxing to meet pigs, cats, chickens and green stuffs. The bus is at the end of the road and it's 25 minutes to downtown (1.25 $) so don't be shy and try this cottage. There, you feel like home.
Hosts are lovely and they cook marvelous toffees ;-)
 "
2528473,28206279,2015-03-20,26736863,Rob,We had a very comfortable stay conveniently located close to the downtown core.  Quaint and cottage like.  
2528473,28546135,2015-03-25,11539947,Kristina,"My stay at the Garden Cottage in East Austin was a most comfortable and enjoyable experience.  Accommodations were as described yet even more charming and interesting than I expected.  There were such nice touches...CD with soft music playing, the scrumptious English toffee awaiting, the MOST comfortable bed I've ever slept in!

While I did not get to meet Marcella, Meredith and the 'kiddos', I know I would have enjoyed them much.  Maybe another time.  

The location to me was just what I enjoy....out of the hustle and bustle of city living, but only blocks away from being right in the middle of things.  

I would definitely recommend, and have already, this Airbnb location.  Thanks much."
2528473,28582851,2015-03-26,196354,Stacey,"We loved staying on this property and meeting Marcella and her family! The cottage was very clean and charming and perfect for a couple or single person looking for a comfy respite from traveling. And yes, the toffee is amazing! And the pig is totally precious :-)"
2528473,29632166,2015-04-10,1890955,Kristina,"This is quite the experience! If you don't book here you are truly missing out. The cottage is lovely as is the grounds around it - pigs, chickens, playgrounds. It's like you can have the simple joys of a kid outside and then all the adult luxuries of a getaway trip inside (wow that bed is extremely comfortable). On top of that, you can feel really good for your patronage as Marcella and Meredith have a great mission to support. "
2528473,29685712,2015-04-11,10414163,Harper,"The cottage was perfect! We only got to spend one night there, but it was exactly what we needed. And my husband and I are now convinced that we need a piggy of our own. Very pleased and will definitely return if we get a chance. "
2528473,29822148,2015-04-13,16833560,Amber,We had a lovely time in the garden cottage with lovely hosts! 
2528473,30029827,2015-04-16,14950092,Eve,I loved staying at the cottage!
2528473,30377979,2015-04-21,26131266,Morgan,"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Garden Cottage. The hosts home, garden, animals, and rental properties are so charming! We wish we could have stayed longer & enjoyed the Garden Shed even more…I was ready to move in. Very clean, stocked with everything we needed, and beautifully decorated. Austin is such a fun city and we were so busy exploring that we weren't around much during the day to get to know the hosts, but Meredith was so helpful whenever we needed anything, including jumping our car one morning after we had left our lights on over night. Marcella was very responsive during the booking process as well - wish we could have met. And of course, we absolutely loved the toffee. Will recommend this rental to anyone who is planning a trip to Austin. "
2528473,30765654,2015-04-27,3018614,Ada,We had a great stay at the garden cottage. The location was great -close to all the places we were trying to get to. Marcella was a great host and even let us use her dryer! And the pig and chickens were so sweet.
2528473,31088085,2015-05-01,2464611,Andrew,"I felt very welcomed and I loved the pets and animals, made the place feel warm. "
2528473,31175532,2015-05-03,13030451,Carolyn,"The cottage was just as pictured. Very cute, clean, and well decorated. I loved the toffee! Overall very nice experience for my first airbnb. Thank you!"
2528473,31431678,2015-05-05,16904314,Jd,"Meredith and Marcella were amazing hosts. We couldn't be happier with our experience. Our cabin was just like the pictures you see, fully stocked with bug spray, shampoo, and other essentials. The bed was super comfy (I’m serious, really nice). Plus, there was a little welcome gift of English toffee waiting for us. The animals were of course adorable. They also live on the same street as two delicious taco places we ended up going to: Torchy’s Tacos, and Paco’s Tacos. I recommend checking them out!

I would absolutely stay with Meredith and Marcella again. Great home, great location, loved it. "
2528473,31696714,2015-05-09,27377738,Shanna,"All of the other reviews are accurate - this is a very lovely and relaxing spot to spend your days in Austin. The garden shed was wonderfully decorated and super cozy. Everything you need is there, plus the bed is ultra comfy. We were traveling with super heavy packs, and getting to this place felt like an oasis for tired souls. We were only there for a short stay, but wished we could have been there longer simply because it was so chill. Thank you for the hospitality Marcella and fam! Ps - I regret not bringing some toffee home - so good!!!"
2528473,31836133,2015-05-10,32216532,Susan,"I've traveled quite a bit and stayed in many different types of places, but Marcella's cottage was one of the most special places I've stayed. Her warmth, personality and creativity are found everywhere in her cottage. From the sound of happy hens and their friendly piggy,  to meeting her precious children and tasting the yummy toffee, we decided that next time we're in Austin the only place we'll want to stay is at Marcella's! Thank you Marcella for the opportunity to be a small part of what your family is doing for those precious kiddos! "
2528473,32308356,2015-05-17,23586719,Nadine,"My fiancé and I loved our stay at the garden cottage. It was fun, friendly, and unique. The space was truly an oasis from the city, which we loved coming ""home"" to during our stay. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a get away in Austin. "
2528473,32739100,2015-05-21,9281955,Nick & Jen,"Really enjoyed our stay at the Garden Cottage. The accommodation was beautifully decorated and after a long flight, the delicious homemade toffee was very much welcome! The bed was super comfy, too. We loved the cute animals - although Shiner has grown a bit since the picture of him on here was taken! The cottage is a 15min drive from Downtown so is like a little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the city. In fact, you'd never guess you were near it! We didn't have a car during our stay but I'd definitely recommend one for ease of getting around. The local buses are nice and cheap (they won't accept any notes over $5 - be warned) but we found them to be a bit hit and miss so ended up spending a lot of money on cabs. Marcella and Meredith were great hosts though and we found their guide/Bucket List of Austin invaluable! Thank you both for opening your home to us :)"
2528473,33585617,2015-05-30,31083560,Sarah,"This was an incredible Airbnb location! Marcella and her family are such wonderful hosts. The Garden Cottage is comfortable, decorated delightfully, and true to the description. Marcella was very quick to respond anytime I had questions and truly makes sure that guests are well taken care of. 

The garden area outside of the cottage was beautiful. I enjoyed spending time reading in the chairs outside of the cottage, walking in the garden, and photographing the flowers and sweet animals that live on the property. 

The Garden Cottage is well set up with nice lighting, a mini-fridge, microwave, glasses, and the list of positive elements goes on. There was a cool pitcher of fresh water waiting in the fridge, towels, delicious toffee, a delightful guest book and information book, and the space was so very welcoming. Also, the bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in while on a vacation!

I truly have no complaints about this location and would absolutely recommend Marcella and the Garden Cottage location.  If you would like a relaxing location to stay on vacation or retreat this is a wonderful place to stay."
2528473,33704452,2015-05-31,13492831,David,"The cottage was clean, tidy, and well appointed, many thoughtful little extras, and the surrounding and the animals were fun. My wife's first action was to befriend the little pig, which lives with the chickens in an enclosure by the gate. 
Being in the cottage with its ceiling of varied door panels, the maps, the prints, books and cool things is a little like living in a Pinterest board!
Peaceful, cosy, clean, and friendly, we recommend it."
2528473,34405862,2015-06-08,4327741,Jessica,"The place was really nice, my sister and I liked the ceiling made of re-purposed doors. Marcella was a very gracious host and her pets were very friendly."
2528473,34874062,2015-06-13,329397,Leslie,"This adorable cottage has everything you could need -- plus a ton of character! The hosts are lovely and accommodating.  I highly recommend the garden cottage, and it's well-priced for the quality and location."
2528473,35572597,2015-06-20,23505069,Mara,Marcella was so sweet and made us feel very welcome. The cottage is cozy  and warm feeling. You can tell there is so much love put into their home and their rentals. What a great place to stay! 
2528473,35999736,2015-06-24,16149851,Lisa,"I loved staying at the cottage.  It was very clean, charming and coffee was there for us in the AM.  If I ever travel back to Austin, this would be my place to stay.  It's a little outside of downtown but we actually loved that about this place.  It was a wonderful place to retreat back to, we slept well all 4 nights."
2528473,36166930,2015-06-26,2660378,Lauren,"Marcella was very welcoming, even though we only stayed with her for one night!  Incredibly comfortable bed, very cute cottage with a wonderful backyard.  Would definitely stay again!"
2528473,36350337,2015-06-27,18099041,Priscilla,"As previously stated, this is definitely an ""Austin"" experience. Marcella was a lovely host and it was perfect for our stay for my daughter's UT orientation. The backyard is very charming and friendly with all the little creatures. The cottage was very clean and inviting. She isn't telling the truth when she says she makes good  English toffee - she makes the best toffee I've ever had! The location is very convenient to the university and we would definitely stay here again."
2528473,37032179,2015-07-04,27185184,Jan,"  We arrived late due to a flight delay and were concerned about checking in, but Marcella made sure the key to the cottage was waiting for us in the door.  The cottage looked just as it was pictured and we found little extras that we weren't expecting - the homemade toffee,  shampoo in the bathroom, coffee for morning, books at bedside,  water in the fridge.   We saw Marcella one evening as we were sitting outside and she asked if we lacked anything, and was available by phone/text if any need arose. "
2528473,37307083,2015-07-06,19473214,Ann,"Fun......Close to the City of Austin, TX and the Airport........Full of Life with Chickens, a Dog, a Pig, a Cat, and their Lovely Children. The Essence of Austin, TX was shown in both the Garden Cottage and within the Hosts."
2528473,37450058,2015-07-07,16640816,Brianna,I wish we had more time here! We fell in love with Austin in a matter of minutes and I think in part to the amazing life Marcella and Meredith have set up for themselves. What an inspiring atmosphere! The garden cottage was everything as described and more (direct reference to the Michael Jackson and Elton John records available to play). Shiner the pig is just about the cutest thing ever and the toffee was a delicious treat. One of the best places I've ever stayed and hope to come back. Thanks! 
2528473,37758356,2015-07-10,7239519,Nina,"A must stay!! From the super comfy bed accompanied by yummy coffee and toffee, to the picture perfect views from the patio, the Garden Cottage made our fun vacation perfect. We loved being greeted by the sweet animals and cute Christmas lights in the evenings and the location was great - a short drive into downtown! We hope to come back! "
2528473,38008420,2015-07-12,20915720,Chesney,We absolutely loved our mini-vacay at the garden cottage! The hospitality was topnotch; my daughter and I felt right at home here. Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!
2528473,38595577,2015-07-17,32454222,Leah,Our stay in Austin at the garden cottage was great! It is a great location--close to downtown but also quiet and cozy. Our hosts were kind and hospitable. I would recommend you stay here!
2528473,39008396,2015-07-20,33513667,Mary Ann,"I can't imagine staying anywhere but the garden cottage the next time I'm in Austin! Marcella and Meredith are wonderful hosts -- thoughtful, helpful and a pleasure to talk to and spend time with-- their children are the sweetest and their pets are awesome. The cottage is cozy, the coffee great and the homemade toffee out of this world. Plus the turntable and albums...too cool! "
2528473,39181864,2015-07-21,35436031,Jonathan,Great little place to stay in Austin. Warm and inviting feeling. Lots of neat little items inside the room. Lots of friendly animals on the premise. We didn't get to spend a ton of time there since we were out a lot so the only regret was not leaving more time to enjoy where we stayed! 
2528473,39276406,2015-07-22,32301066,Jackson,"Everything about this listing was as-advertised. My wife and I will gladly provide another glowing, 5-star review. The cottage was cozy and convenient to everything we wanted to do on our last night in Austin. The pig, chickens and cats are all part of the ambiance, and the hosts and their family are incredible. You will look back on your stay as a satisfied customer not only because of the accommodations, but also because these are genuinely good people and you're helping them do great things in their community."
2528473,39600239,2015-07-25,26234786,Melissa,We had a fantastic time here. The cottage was adorable and the animals were all super friendly and cute.
2528473,40079247,2015-07-28,3814989,Felix,"I cannot recommend Marcella's (and family's) place enough. Great, great space with everything you need, in an amazing garden. The animals were great and friendly and the pig was very entertaining. Marcella herself was amazing and made us feel more than welcome. If you're going to stay in Austin, this is the place! We will definitely come back."
2528473,40445064,2015-07-31,4220806,Jeanne,"This home was beautiful inside and out, the pups, the piggy, the decor was all so inviting and creative. We miss that bed too, SUPER comfortable. And thank you for the delicious treats Marcella, we will be returning!"
2528473,41387322,2015-08-07,19862213,Ifeoma,We felt very welcome and it was easy to find from the directions.  Marcella was away but had left her very pleasant niece to welcome us.  You needed a car to get around as there was not much in the immediate neighborhood but everything was within a short drive and Marcella left a list of great things to do in the cottage.  The cottage was cosy and comfortable.
2528473,41933348,2015-08-10,18060850,Paul,"M&M provided a wonderful experience for me while I stayed during RTX 2015. Their welcome was warm, air conditioning cold, and Toffee delicious! I highly recommend anyone and everyone stay with them, and should I come back to Austin, I will book with them, without a doubt in my mind. 10/10"
2528473,42330217,2015-08-12,30427643,Kristen,The place was gorgeous and so inviting. Marcella and her family are very friendly and accommodating! Wish I could've stayed longer. Hope I can get back to Austin! 
2528473,43048649,2015-08-17,25518088,Roman,This is my second time staying at Marcella's and I was not disappointed. Her and her family are so sweet and welcoming. Their yard is so beautiful! Their cottage is so cute and cozy! There is so much natural lighting. I love this place so much. I hope to stay there again soon!
2528473,43479158,2015-08-20,3134052,Béatrice,My husband and I had a really nice time in the garden shed. We really enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the place created by Meredith and Marcella with the pets and the pretty decoration of the backyard dimly lit at night to find our way back to the shed. 
2528473,44662470,2015-08-28,31615895,Melody,"Everything was lovely at the Garden Cottage! The room is exactly as (website hidden) blows ice cold -- which was perfect for our humid August visit. The bathroom is large, too. However, our favorite part about the stay was chatting with our hosts and giving love to the animals! Marcella and Meredith were so welcoming, gave us recommendations, and their kids are sweet. We always gave the 2 dogs a little love during the day -- as well as the pig and chickens. Even though they have plenty of kids and animals around, the place was still quite and we were never disturbed. Location-wise, this place is great. We were a $8-9 uber down to East 6th St. for dinner and drinks. If you have a car, it is super accessible and easy to park. They have a great cafe nearby, which we went to twice, called Cherrywood Cafe. Enjoy!"
2528473,44797751,2015-08-29,14322920,Sylvia,"My boyfriend and I love the experience we had in the garden cottage. Marcella was really sweat and make the check in/out process very easy. We met the kid, the little piggy and their cat. It's a very different experience. We'll definitely stay here again if we visit Austin again!"
2528473,45300465,2015-09-01,662106,Angela,We had a nice night here! The place is beautiful really cute and enjoyed all the animals in the backyard. Its really private too which is nice.
2528473,45487568,2015-09-03,39971891,Anne,"The family made us feel totally welcome and at home in the garden cottage. This was our first Airbnb experience, and we were a little unsure about staying in someone's back yard, but we had so much privacy and never felt uncomfortable at all. We spent most of our time on the town, but wished we had more time to hang out with at the garden cottage! Also, when we arrived at the house we thought it would be pretty loud since it's on a pretty busy road, but it was totally quiet at night. In the morning, you could hear birds and squirrels on the roof. It was so peaceful. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed it."
2528473,46118839,2015-09-08,7609560,Brianna,"Marcella was an excellent host, and this rental cottage was a perfect place to stay while we were in Austin.  My husband and I spent 4 nights here, and found it a peaceful place to retreat at the end of our busy days.  The decor is cozy, and the backyard is really charming.  We loved the animals, and the lights strung around made it feel very special.  This is a great location with wonderful personality.  Thank you,  Marcella!!"
2528473,46484785,2015-09-11,38839966,Andi,"This was my first AirBnB experience! My boyfriend and I arrived after the usual checkin time but Marcella, Meredith, and their girls were so very warm and welcoming. We were promptly shown to the cabin, which exceeded or expectations - so quirky, cute, and comfy. We fell right to sleep in the lovely bed for a power nap and proceeded to spend much of our time away from our lodgings and in Austin proper. 
The location of the cabin is to the northeast of the city and can seem a bit far off from the nitty gritty, however Austin in general is not a 'walkable' city like Philly or NYC. That said, we had our rental car and plenty of Ubers at hand to make things more than convenient (for those curious our average Uber trip to S. Congress, the Capital Building, or Dirty 6th cost between $10-$14). We really actually enjoyed going off to a quiet neighborhood each night to unwind.
We stayed for 2 nights, with our flight out of Austin being fairly early our last day. The house is a quick drive from the airport, which allowed us to sleep in a tiny bit more before heading out for our 8AM flight....and enjoy one last Torchy's run last minute the night before (there's a location 3 min down the street!).
All in all, we felt welcomed and accommodated thoroughly. We will definitely recommend and hopefully will be able to stay again ourselves in the future. 
Extra perks - homemade toffee, fun pets, lots of Austin literature & travel recommendations throughout the cabin, and a mattress and blanket straight out of heaven."
2528473,47033086,2015-09-15,32850602,Kristin,"Cutest little cottage! We stayed 2 nights and loved every second of it. The bed is SO comfortable, the animals are so friendly, and it is about a 10 min uber ride to downtown. Our hosts were super friendly and gave us suggestions of where to go/what to do. We tended to get home on the late side, but were welcomed by lights strung up throughout the yard to ensure we could find our way. I would recommend this cottage to anyone seeking a relaxing but funky vibe. I will definitely come back to this spot if I ever hit up Austin again!!"
2528473,47373811,2015-09-18,8169009,Miero,"Marcella and Meredith's sweet Austin cottage was perfect for our two night stay. Every little detail, from the decorations to the comfortable bed, was so well thought out and really enhanced our stay! The cottage is situated in their beautiful spacious backyard, with plenty of privacy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back in the future!"
2528473,47648412,2015-09-21,31749605,Tara,"This was the perfect getaway. We came from Dallas with no agenda, just a retreat. This was our first experience with airbnb and it has set the bar high. Marcella was so accommodating yet gave us the space we needed and her backyard garden is fabulous! We probably spent more time at this little cottage than actually seeing Austin, it truly felt like home for a few days. Oh and if you're an animal lover, this place will be so heartwarming! "
2528473,49096462,2015-10-01,14011078,Marcie,"We enjoyed our stay in this sweet little cottage so much! It was beautifully decorated and so cozy. We loved the record player and the sweet cat that greeted us each night. The location was great and the check in process was easy. We enjoyed the toffee that our host left for us also, it was delicious! We highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in Austin!"
2528473,49453609,2015-10-04,21326718,Michelle,"Marcella & Meredith were great hosts! They greeted us by showing us around the amazing property (pigs, chickens, dogs and cats ... it was a step beyond amazing) and provided great recommendations and directions. The cottage is as described and absolutely perfect. That bed was so comfortable!!!! The location worked out perfectly for us, but there is really nothing in walking distance (who cares uber is cheap)."
2528473,49868480,2015-10-06,45735620,Jackson,We had a great time in Austin and loved the location of this cute cottage. The bed was super comfortable and Marcella was very kind and welcoming! Did I mention the pig?
2528473,50238036,2015-10-10,27843663,Lisa,The cottage was such a nice getaway! The bed was wonderful and  the decor was beautiful. Couldn't ask for a better stay! 
2528473,50428028,2015-10-12,22384722,Ambri,"This garden cottage was perfect for our music-filled weekend in Austin! Interior, map location, and provisions were exactly as described, and made better by the hospitality of the hosts. This was our first Airbnb experience, and it certainly will not be our last. The simplicity and comfort of a good cup of coffee, cozy & consuming bed, and farm animals to greet you were enough to forget the big city landscape. Perfect family, perfect escape, delicious toffee. #AustinMason "
2528473,51703011,2015-10-24,91095,Alex & Rose,"Great space, beautifully decorated, lovely hosts and a short cab ride or bus to downtown. Perfect! The fudge left for us when we arrived was the best. Highly recommend it! "
2458732,28309262,2015-03-22,20242128,Rachel,Super cute house and great location. Very fun and spacious. Everything was very clean and worked wonderfully. I would definitely stay here again.
8213678,46247141,2015-09-08,43351588,Peter,"Staying at Adan's place was fantastic! Adan thought of everything, the roommates were really great whenever my date and I had any questions about Austin, and the place is exactly like the pictures. The room is gigantic, the location is great, it's a really nice neighborhood, and I slept like a baby on that bed, because the house is so peaceful! I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone interested in checking out Austin, especially if you appreciate large, spacious rooms and peace of mind when traveling!"
8213678,50315636,2015-10-11,42296279,Craig,"My stay here was great. Adan was out of town but his roommate Pete was very welcoming and made me feel at home. The room was extremely clean and they were even nice enough to provide toothpaste and shampoo. If you're looking for an affordable, quiet, and clean apartment that's easily accessible to downtown by bus or car, this is a good bet. "
8213678,51240677,2015-10-18,46373861,Julia,"Adan wasn't there when we visited, but his roommates were really nice and made us feel comfortable. The room was private and huge, and it had its own TV, which was cool. Overall really enjoyed staying here!"
8213678,52007180,2015-10-25,38710949,Cory,"Great host, was very helpful when looking for place to buy supplies. "
2165318,26635028,2015-02-16,12144470,Micah,"This was a great place to stay. It’s located next to a highway for quick access to most of Austin. An express bus line runs on the main road right next to the place if you don’t have a vehicle. The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable, with two windows and a fan, plus the bathroom was quite nice. The hosts are hospitable. I would definitely choose to stay here again if the opportunity presented itself. There is a dog at the house that is very agreeable and quite low key, she is definitely not a dog that will bother you if you do not want to interact with her. "
1484462,9355218,2013-12-23,7951672,James,"Great little place in a terrific neighborhood (near Zilker elementary). Steve was very attentive without being obtrusive. What I didn't notice at first was all the windows, gives the place a very 'airy' feel. I really enjoyed staying there and would stay again. "
1484462,9453010,2013-12-29,5629240,Brent,"Wow... what a perfect place to hang your hat for a while.  It was a brand new, cozy cottage freestanding in the backyard of the main house in a great neighborhood.  The design of the cottage is superb and modern.  Very clean place. The bed is big and comfortable.  The shower was all black/gray tile and huge.  There's a little kitchenette area and a perfect desk in the corner.  Tons of windows so it gets a little bright in the mornings, but Steve said he will put some more curtains up soon.  There's also a full stereo system for your ipod!  Really awesome place and awesome host.  Steve is very cool and laid back.  He knows Austin extremely well too so ask him about the best local spots to check out.  

I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone wanting the real Austin experience in a safe and cozy neighborhood.  Just book it!"
1484462,9486251,2013-12-30,5451917,Lea,"We loved our stay here. The cottage provided everything we needed in a compact, charming cozy package. One perk was the availability of 2 bikes to explore the area. The location was key, so close to local eateries, shops and bookstores. I would stay here again easily."
1484462,9658493,2014-01-04,407379,Sam,Had a wonderful time at the cottage. Great location and Steve was a very kind and thoughtful host :)  Would definitely stay here again!
1484462,9695267,2014-01-05,10405682,Mark,"Big thanks Steve! Your place was awesome. Totally appreciate your hospitality during our visit to Austin. 

to whom it may concern - folks if you're looking for a great spot in Austin, you should stay at this casa. Beautiful, modern, and quiet. Everything you need. Built for a ""writer's getaway"", this joint is located in south Austin. If you know anything about Austin, then you know you are close to everything in town. Every bit of town is reachable within 15 minutes, with south lamar and south congress just around the corner. Perfectly maintained and laid back. "
1484462,9750190,2014-01-07,10931840,Roman,"Staying at the cottage was great! What an amazing location. The place has a cool, modern look and Steve was accommodating without being intrusive - a genuinely nice guy. All in all I had a great time and would definitely stay there again."
1484462,9889253,2014-01-17,10750495,Carole,"My driver handed me my bags, and there was Steve Moore, with a welcoming smile and a ready hand to assist me to the cottage, at an indecently late midnight hour due to a late night flight.  The minute I walked into the little red Zilker Cottage, I was welcomed with comfort, light and cleanliness.  Into a very warm open space there was everything I needed for my stay, a comfortable bed, wide-open windows, a little desk and an accommodating kitchenette which served my breakfast needs and late evening snacks satisfactorily.  The house coffee and breakfast goods added warmth to the host’s hospitality, given my late arrival to the site.  For the purposes of my trip to Austin to triage belongings in a storage space, this was an ideal place to stay; it was not ostentatious, yet it had all of the comforts I needed after physically demanding work days, especially the massage provided by the shower.  I could not write this review without praising everything from the nozzle height to the water temperature, which were just perfect.  In fact everything on site had been conceived and designed with auspicious attention: space distribution, soaps and lotions, movies etc…  After my evening’s ruminations as I would shut my eyes in bed, what sweet joy it was to turn the light out from my bed, by flicking the switch over my right shoulder.  The sun, not the alarm clock, would awaken me with its gentle and brilliant rays shining through the high and curtain-less panes in the morning.  Located on the peaceful grounds of a bucolic space, I would not hesitate to stay at the cottage again, nor hesitate to recommend it to the labored traveler or the visiting vacationer who might appreciate a “home away from home.”  My stay at the little cottage was an absolutely wonderful experience!   My thanks to Steve for his auspicious touch and the helpful support of his son, Sam."
1484462,9940136,2014-01-20,4995487,Richard,We had a very enjoyable stay at Steve's. The clean line contemporary design is very attractive and functional. Steve was very attentive to our needs and we look forward to staying at his place again.   Richard
1484462,9999858,2014-01-24,5682706,Monique,"Wonderful experience. Cozy, clean... Perfect location. Steve was super friendly, always checking on us and helpful. Highly recommended little spot :)"
1484462,10040902,2014-01-27,11013402,Nick,"My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage! It was a cold weekend in Austin and Steve had the heat turned on for us. The place was even better than we imagined. 

We never got a chance to meet Steve b/c we were in and out a lot, however he was very kind to check on us through text to see if we needed anything. It was the perfect balance between getting a private stay and making sure everything was taken care of. 

I would highly recommend this place to stay! "
1484462,10098074,2014-01-30,11637347,Susan,"The cabin stay was fabulous and cozy! Definitely recommend this one! Loved borrowing bikes for a cruise to the ABGB and nearby attractions.
Steve was super accommodating and laid back, always responded promptly to our requests!"
1484462,10150038,2014-02-03,1599890,Andrew,"We were in Austin to visit our son in late January and early February.  The weather was up and down but the cottage was always comfortable.  It is located in a charming old neighborhood with massive live oaks.  The cottage is quiet and private and has wonderful light and great views of the trees.  It is furnished in a contemporary style and is cozy, efficient and very well equipped.  The bed is large and very comfortable and the shower is spacious and, like everything else, very modular. The interior of the cottage appears brand new and is sparkling clean.  The location was perfect for us - a five minute drive to Zilker Park and a short drive to South Congress.  Steve was a perfect host - there to greet us with the heat on and friendly suggestions. He gave us plenty of privacy but was always attentive if we needed anything.  A great place for a nice laid-back visit to Austin."
1484462,10309976,2014-02-12,10914862,Hayley,"The cottage was perfect for our weeklong honeymoon in Austin. The lodging was clean, well-stocked and very pretty. The bed was comfortable and all of the windows let in lots of natural light, which was nice. We had an amazing stay and we also recommend the neighborhood! Check out The Horseshoe Lounge, Broken Spoke dance hall and The Public House. Steve is friendly and easy to reach when you need him! Oh, and we had a ball riding bikes through the area...truly a great retreat!"
1484462,10337799,2014-02-14,11708092,Suzanne,"Steve's cottage was perfect for our visit: it's in a beautiful neighborhood in Austin (perfect for a morning run!); it was perfectly clean and exactly as pictured in the photos. There were also fresh towels, soap, shampoo, etc in stock so it was just like staying in a hotel. Steve was very pleasant to deal with - I highly recommend his cottage and will gladly stay there again the next time I'm in Austin. "
1484462,10477889,2014-02-21,5355546,Bing,"Steve is a graceful, relaxed person. The type of guy you'd have a cup of coffee with just for the conversation. He bore with my changing schedule and made sure I had everything I needed. The cottage was gorgeous, with windows on all sides to make the most of the natural light. It had a cozy, studio apartment feel. I will try to book here again if I come back to Austin!"
1484462,10552911,2014-02-24,9124283,Tanya,"We have stayed in a fair few Air BnB places over the last few months. This one was in a league of its own in terms of value for money and originality. Steve was available to greet us and show us the quaint and innovatively refurbished cottage. We wanted for nothing, and as well as the fruit and tea and coffee, we had full use of two bikes (in great working order) for the entire stay. This trip was about swimming, boating, biking, food and beverages, and of course music, but as a writer I intend to return, snuggle in and do some serious work. The cottage makes for an incredible artistic space -- an inspirational accommodation for a retreat. Thanks Steve. Hope to see you again soon."
1484462,10661814,2014-03-02,11710611,Katrina,"We had a great stay in the cottage, great facilities and the bikes were fantastic way to see Austin! We would recommend staying here if you want a great nights sleep in a nice neighborhood. "
1484462,10758226,2014-03-06,10768355,Sara,"This was our first Airbnb experience and certainly not our last. Steve's cottage is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. This simple little cottage has everything you could ask for and is quite an inspiring place to be. Our favorite part was being able to walk to the fabulous Zilker Park, the most impressive city park we've ever been too. We highly recommend staying at Steve's. You will be delighted! "
1484462,10918928,2014-03-13,8224348,Darren,"This was my first airbnb experience so I was excited and a little hesitant all at the same time.
Steve was and amazing host and a genuinely nice guy. I was most impressed by Steve's lightening fast responses to my messages, which when you are in a foreign city prove important.
The cottage was all it appears in the pics - clean, comfortable and cute with everything you need.
Having access to the bicycle was great to get into town and make a quick trip to the supermarket. I'd stay their again in a heartbeat."
1484462,11049037,2014-03-18,5376241,Fred,"The cottage was just as we hoped.  It was a cozy space on a quiet street in one of our favorite Austin neighborhoods.   We had no problems communicating with Steve both before and during our trip.  We also appreciated that the cottage was supplied with several thoughtful little conveniences  (an umbrella, coffee and cream, an extra blanket, fresh fruit, etc.)  We would certainly stay there again.  "
1484462,11593534,2014-04-08,2222284,Alyssa,"Steve's cottage is the perfect place to stay in Austin! The cottage is clean, comfortable, bright, and thoughtfully laid out, with some great essentials - for instance, the small fridge contained a bag of local coffee, cream and sugar - perfect way to start a vacation day before walking or biking to a local cafe for breakfast tacos. (Yum!) We biked from the cottage through Zilker park and all over town, mostly in protected bike lanes and along trails. And the cottage is set in such a great neighborhood - really gives you a feel for living in Austin. You won't want to leave! Thanks so much Steve!"
1484462,11793331,2014-04-15,11852416,Callum,"We had a great time staying at Steve's place. It is in a quiet area of a really great neighborhood with lots to do, and some great bars and restaurants.

The accommodations are very clean and comfortable, it has a big comfortable bed, nice shower, fridge and coffee pot, everything we needed as a base to explore the city of Austin.

We would definitely stay there again. 

Some of our favorite things in the area were the Barton Springs pool, the Austin beer garden bar. Steve's bikes are a great way to explore the area."
1484462,11906479,2014-04-18,3655558,Laura And David,"Great little cottage in one of my favorite austin neighborhoods! Small but perfectly put together with everything you need. In the stash of ""just in case"" items there was even a contact case which I was very thankful for. Super clean and felt great. Bed wasn't the most comfy but maybe I'm pickier than most. ;) "
1484462,12187348,2014-04-25,9188589,Hannah,"The place is really close to Zilker park and as described, it is located in a very quiet neighborhood.  Steve was very easy to get in touch with and he made sure out stay would be an exceptional one.  Little things he prepared for us such as bar soaps, contact solution, hair dryer, mirror, and umbrellas, etc. impressed me a lot.  It tells me that he really cares about his guests.  The place has a lot if windows and the top windows are not shaded as shown in the photos so it made us feel like we were sleeping in the woods with the comfort of a/c and nice shelter.  :)  The house was clean and I especially liked the shower which is always a big thing for me when I book a place with airbnb.  Definitely recommend this place!"
1484462,12283881,2014-04-28,6802556,Ethan,"This place is awesome!  Steve is an exceptional host.  The cottage is a perfect place to rest and relax in a great neighborhood in Austin.  You really can't go wrong by staying here.
"
1484462,12606155,2014-05-06,11706098,Richard,"Steve is an most excellent host. He was extremely helpful before during, and after our stay. I couldn't say enough nice things about him.  This was my first experience with Airbnb. The place was as described and the cottage exceeded my expectation. The cottage is small and cozy, but also large enough for two larger guys to hang out there for several hours a day.  The neighborhood the cottage is located is a nice Very quite neighborhood. I would highly recommend staying there. I hope to be back next year and stay there.  "
1484462,12697852,2014-05-08,447464,Faith,this was a great location to our gatherings. The cottage was quaint & clean. Price was fair.  Host was very helpful & friendly. thanks Steve
1484462,12777258,2014-05-11,12528528,Ayla,Awesome location and really nice host.
1484462,13319254,2014-05-25,8799468,Jay & Gail,Steve's little cottage was a quiet and cool little paradise. Steve has transformed a simple shed with some of the coolest design tricks. There are a ton of windows including a clerestory band and it's in the shade of oak trees - it is very pleasant. Steve was an excellent host - available if needed with an iron and board and even a saw to cut up some mesquite I collected! The location is great in the hip Sola (South Lamar) area - walking distance to some great restos and very convenient by car anywhere. Had a great 4 days and would be happy to stay there again in the future. One note - there was no TV which for me was a plus. 
1484462,13562421,2014-05-31,1383338,Cass,"FANTASTIC! Steve's cottage was perfectly appointed for a couple, with literally everything we needed to be comfortable. Great bed, linens, and shower, even laundry facilities. It was quiet and private, and we could come and go as we wanted without bothering anyone. The location was great too -- we had a car, but you could get by here without one. Steve was very nice but we never even needed to ask him for anything because the place was so well set up. Highly recommend this spot! "
1484462,13653744,2014-06-02,12675282,Micah,"The cottage was exactly what we were hoping for!  A perfectly tranquil setting that was minutes from anything and everything we could have possibly hoped to do.  We biked to Barton Springs (via Steve's bikes) and spent the day on the trails.  We were five minutes from downtown Austin (driving), and we couldn't have been more pleased.  The cottage itself was extremely clean and well maintained.  The pictures do not do it justice.

At one point, we had an issue with a jammed bike lock, and the host (Steve Moore) took the time to go and purchase bolt cutters to help us out while we were stranded.  Great place!  Great host!  We will definitely be coming back to stay here!"
1484462,13786241,2014-06-04,14139103,Ami,"We had a lovely stay in the cottage. Sunny, clean, and very welcoming! "
1484462,14010599,2014-06-10,11710467,Forest,"This cottage was the perfect place for a couple to stay in Austin. The neighborhood seems very safe and is just a 5-10 minute walk from a good amount of food trucks, bars and restaurants. Our host was mindful of our privacy and immediately available when we accidentally locked ourselves out (oops!). We would definitely stay here again. "
1484462,14265406,2014-06-16,598350,Kim,A wonderful location 25 minutes by bus in to East 6th. Barton Springs so close. Steve was very helpful and the cottage just right for our short stay in Austin. Ben loved the complimentary coffee! 
1484462,14546579,2014-06-22,3552957,Ada,"The Cottage was all we expected and more. Very neat and efficient, nice and cool temperature in the cottage, well lit outside when we arrived late at night. Steve is a very nice and attentive guy. the neighborhood is very pretty."
1484462,14700122,2014-06-24,15937555,Robert,"Our host was great and in touch with us leading up to our trip.
 The cottage was perfect sized for my wife and I. Very cute community and close to many great Austin favorites.
The AC was loud or we are just not used to window AC systems. "
1484462,14877508,2014-06-28,2334438,Sarah,"We spent a couple nights at Steve's cottage on our way out west and really enjoyed our stay. It's a fantastic location to explore Austin from - we wished we could have stayed longer! It's in a nice neighborhood with plenty of parking, and although we didn't have time to use the bikes that would be an great way to explore too. The cottage itself is very comfortable. Steve has clearly put a lot of thought and work into the setup! We chose to turn off the a/c at night and open a couple of windows, which was really nice sleeping to the sound of crickets and waking up to the birds. We really enjoyed the nearby Austin Beer Garden Brewery, Zilker Park, South Congress area, and Veracruz All Natural taco cart. Hope to visit again soon. Thanks, Steve!"
1484462,15952360,2014-07-19,14482476,David,"When we rented Steve's cottage we thought we would only need it for a week or two.  Once we found out we needed temporary living space for over a month, we decided we needed larger accommodations with a full kitchen and TV.  Although Steve was out of town when we checked in, we emailed him and explained that his cottage wouldn't work for us.  We got an immediate response telling us not to worry and he would refund our full payment and we could stay there until we could find a larger space.  Steve even offered to pay for our dinner on our night of arrival, which we graciously declined since this was not necessary.  We thank Steve for being so understanding, flexible and easy to work with.  "
1484462,16485337,2014-07-28,17114828,Tiara,"We had a great time staying in the Zilker Cottage! It was a wonderful space, very cozy, and perfect for our weekend getaway. Steve was very friendly, prompt with responding and contacting us, and even offered to let us check-in early.  We realized that we needed an iron & ironing board, and he quickly responded and brought one to us. The space is great, with lots of natural sunlight and plenty of space! I highly recommend staying here, and hope that we can return the next time we are in Austin!"
1484462,16881474,2014-08-04,124396,Mia,"Had a fantastic stay at Steve's place. As others have mentioned, it's small,private,  very clean and cozy and Steve provides nice little extras like towels and toiletries as well as coffee. He was very easy to communicate with before and during our stay. 
Austin can be hard to get around without a car but main bus routes are only minutes away from the house, as well as tons of great restaurants, retail shops, food trucks and Barton Springs. 
Steve was very kind to check in with us mid point during our week there to see that all was okay asking if we needed anything.  He also let us stay a little longer since he didn't have guests right after and our flight was later in the evening.


"
1484462,18696984,2014-08-30,7724413,Ashley,"Very welcoming, very clean. Mellow neighborhood, nice amenities (tea, coffee, soap, plentiful towels/toiletries). Check-in and check-out was seamless. Steve is very nice and flexible! I would stay again."
1484462,18785283,2014-09-01,4560684,Aubrey,"What a wonderful and peaceful place to stay! Steve was great and even met us with umbrellas as we arrived in the rain! The cottage was comfortable, clean, creative, and a perfect layout for a person on vacation. Next time we are coming to Austin this is where we will stay (if it's free)."
1484462,18965647,2014-09-03,3058585,Adam And Meg,"Steve has the best Cottage I've ever stayed in for the price. Steve was SUPER accommodating and very helpful. His cottage is a short bike ride away from Zilker Park and Barton Springs. One of the best stays we have had using AirBnB. 

"
1484462,19190882,2014-09-08,3058585,Adam And Meg,"Megan and I extended our trip because we knew how much of gem Steve's place was. Steve is on the ball about every aspect of your stay. From towels, bikes and beer. He's our favorite host and definitely the reason why we now want to move to Austin. Do yourselves a favor and book early and expect to want to live in his cottage. 

Thanks Steve for being AMAZING!!"
1484462,19345781,2014-09-10,2423778,Jennifer,"I loved staying here. Steve welcomed me even though I checked in quite late in the day. He followed up the next day to make sure everything was ok. The space was clean, functional, and thoughtfully arranged.  I loved the windows and the wonderful play of light- sun and moon dancing upon the space.  The location rocks. The only thing missing from my stay was more time..."
1484462,19816183,2014-09-19,16242886,Gunter,"Ein sehr, sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber, der immer für uns da war,ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Steve ist ein Gastgeber, der immer da ist, wenn man ihn braucht, aber sonst unsichtbar bleibt. Ein kleines aber sehr gemütliches Haus im Stil der gesamten Umgebung, die geprägt ist von Individualität.
Wie aufmerksam Steve war, zeigte sich an einem Abend, als es spät abends noch klopfte und er einfach so noch einmal frische Handtücher brachte.
Das Haus ist sehr kompakt, hat aber alles was wir brauchten - eine gute und große Dusche, ein gemütliches Bett und eine schnelle Kaffeemaschine."
1484462,20135660,2014-09-24,7157464,Rani,"Steve was a fantastic and extremely responsive host and his cottage was spacious, clean and well-stocked. The location was perfect as well--tucked away in a quiet neighborhood but close to all the fun spots (e.g., bikeable to South Congress, Zilker Park). I couldn't recommend it more highly!"
1484462,20656858,2014-10-03,20937327,Banaf,"Steve was a great host.  Our first impression of the little cottage was how cute and inviting it looked from the outside.  Once we stepped in we were pleasantly surprised to see that he left the AC and ceiling fan on which was great because of the humidity outside.  It was so cool, comfortable and clean.  The mini fridge had 2 Lone Star beers waiting for us along with a few (delicious) apples in the fruit bowl on the counter.  It was a nice little welcome package.  The shower is great-awesome water pressure! And the ability to use the bikes was wonderful too because we didn't have to worry about coordinating with the bus schedule or pay for taxis.  I highly recommend taking advantage of those bikes!  Throughout our stay we contacted Steve by text a few times and he was always very responsive and helpful.  I would definitely recommend staying at Steve's cottage any time you're in Austin.  Thanks Steve!"
1484462,20816346,2014-10-06,7056393,Katie,"I visited the cottage for ACL this year. This place was perfect for 2, and conveniently located to Zilker, and South Congress. Steve provided a lot of little extras that made our stay even more special, there was even a basket full of the things travelers might need, like extra tooth paste, bobby pins, and other toiletries. Even though the cottage was on the small side, the space was efficiently designed, and set-up. Our host was very accommodating, and even let us check in a little early."

1484462,21276857,2014-10-14,3889997,Christopher,"Though Steve was out of town we prearranged the key hand-off and arrived to find the A/C running, and just enough in the fridge and kitchenette to tide us over had we decided to settle in for the first night. There was coffee, fruit, and even a couple of beers. It was easy to find, and the path was well lit and obviously maintained. Magazines and other area literature proved extremely valuable in finding places to eat, the WiFi connection information is displayed right above the desk, and there was a very well thought out container in the closet with everything you would conceivably get from a hotel concierge! The neighborhood was great, (clean, attractive, and eclectic), and the walk to and from Zilker Park for ACL was safe and easy. We would no-doubt stay again if ever in Austin."
1484462,21480321,2014-10-18,5448818,Avani,"This cottage offered a light, airy and comfortable launchpad for exploring Austin. It was quiet with good A/C (needed!) and a really lovely space. Steve was great, good communication and shared helpful information about Austin. Also, there is laundry access which was a nice bonus since I was in the middle of a multi-leg trip. Great experience."
1484462,21738612,2014-10-23,1318282,Jessamynn,"We definitely made the right choice when we booked Steve’s cottage. It had a comfortable bed, plenty of parking, and not to mention the AC works great! The neighborhood was really nice too with the tree-lined streets. Also, we couldn’t have asked for a better host! Steve responds very quickly to any questions we had. On our last day, we accidentally locked our rental car keys inside the house and Steve was able to help us right away!"
1484462,22012099,2014-10-28,16420400,John,"Steve's cottage was beautiful! It was a little hot in Austin when we visited and thank god he had the AC running before we arrived. The neighborhood is quiet and well located to get around Austin. Very close to a Walgreens and liquor store (which is all you really need on short trip.) We loved having bikes provided and took them to Barton Springs Pool and along Austin's great biking paths. The cottage is well stocked with the essentials and even had a couple of beers chilling. We left a few behind for the next guests. 

Our favorites nearby (walking distance): breakfast tacos from Papalote, Giovanni's pizza stand, Patika Wine and Coffee

Thanks again for being a caring host."
1484462,22592276,2014-11-10,21507186,Scott,"Steve & his cabin are both fantastic!  Real gems: Steve was accommodating to our needs and a great communicator.  His hideaway is perfect for those looking for a retreat inside the city, which was perfect for the romantic getaway my wife and I were looking for.  The neighborhood is beautiful and access to two bikes really made our day--we took rode them to nearby Zilker park, up the greenway and back!  If you like a mix of nature with your city, you'll be happy staying at Steve's place..."
1484462,23035322,2014-11-21,4930961,Tedd,Great place! The Cottage is beautiful and simple and delightful to stay at. Steve did a great job making sure I had everything I needed to enjoy my stay and Austin. I would highly recommend this place and stay there again!
1484462,23148887,2014-11-24,21086,Jennifer,"Zilker Cottage is an ideal spot from which to explore Austin. Steve attended to many small details that make a huge difference: an umbrella and hairdryer (both which came in handy); popcorn and tea (which made the cottage feel even more cozy); and thoughtful notes (which made me feel at home). The cottage is also in walking distance of an organic grocery, a coffeehouse and a breakfast spot. I would definitely stay here again. My only regret is that we were both so busy we never got the chance to meet. "
1484462,23746336,2014-12-09,3645407,Whitney,We had a great time staying at this cottage. It was very clean and Steve was absolutely great! The Cottage is stocked with anything you will need to explorer Austin (maps and the latest magazine). The bikes provide were a great way to get around and the place is in walking distance to the main bus line. We will definitely be back!
1484462,24673016,2015-01-01,16875731,Jennifer,"We loved our time at Steve's cottage! It was exactly as described. Quaint, comfortable, and sunny (the one day we had sun!) Steve provided all of the essentials and then some! He was very helpful with a few questions we had about the area, but definitely gave us complete privacy. 

We absolutely loved the location. We enjoyed the (very) hilly neighborhood for a few morning runs and the Greenbelt trail for an afternoon hike but it's also very close to several terrific bars and restaurants for the social scene. 

It was a perfect trip and we'll be back again!"
1484462,24857720,2015-01-03,2958685,Jonathan,"The cottage is superbly designed and quite cozy.  Steve is exceedingly considerate and stocked the cottage with everything a weary traveler could desire.   Based on our limited time in Austin, the neighborhood was one of our favorites.  Steve was an excellent host.  He was of course very respectful of our privacy but made sure we knew we could contact him with any questions or concerns."
1484462,25413116,2015-01-15,9978796,Catherine,"As soon as we arrived, we knew it was the perfect place for our Austin trip. The cottage is simple, cozy and well decorated, Steve definitaly has good taste. When we arrived there was a few well appreciated things Steve left for us, including this amazing coffee. (Thanks again ;)  The cottage is located real close to Zilker park which made is easy for us to bike to our event. The city was really close too ! Austin is awesome !  Thanks again for everything Steve ! Hope to go back in the futur, everybody told us spring is just amazing there ;)"
1484462,25747453,2015-01-25,12005732,Elizabeth,"This adorable cottage is just as described, with thoughtful touches both built-in and provided by Steve throughout. We arrived in Austin in a needed, but not so fun, rainfall, but the cozy accommodations made for a perfect respite to recharge between eating and sightseeing around town. Steve thought of everything from toiletries to fresh fruit, cream, coffee, and tons of electrical outlets. We had plenty of privacy but I'm sure if we'd needed anything it was just a text away. A great place to stay while in Austin."
1484462,25945158,2015-01-30,26649974,Zach,"Great location, and really thought out space!  Great communication on getting in/out etc."

The location is stellar too.  It's a short bike ride to downtown and to Zilker Park.  I'll definitely be back and was grateful for the opportunity to stay in the cottage.  It feels like the quintessential Austin experience.  "
1484462,26256895,2015-02-08,4356036,Stephen,"Great space and perfect location just off South Lamar.  Quick and easy access to South Congress, Zilker Park and Downtown.  The cottage is perfect, private and with an awesome shower, luxurious towels and clean linens.  Steve is great host and has a lovely cottage that provides everything you would need to be comfortable.  Would definitely recommend and would certainly stay here again.  "
1484462,26420687,2015-02-12,3576824,Kayla And Erick,"We loved our stay at Steve's cottage. Very bright and sunny space, great location. Steve was happy to help with recommendations."
1484462,26681721,2015-02-17,25414444,Mandy,"We had a wonderful stay at the cottage.  It's the perfect size for two, the location was great, and Steve made us feel right at home.  He was extremely responsive to any questions we had, and we appreciated his flexibility in checking in and out of the space. Overall, it was a great experience."
1484462,26995346,2015-02-23,26504529,Jamie,We really enjoyed our trip to Austin! Steve was easy to communicate with and left us clear directions on how to get into his place! We really enjoyed the little cottage and loved going on morning bike rides. There were several nice touches and we would stay here again!
1484462,27208338,2015-02-28,26322388,Valerie,"Steve's cottage was absolutely charming, and just what we hoped it would be. Quiet location, lots of sunlight, and just the right amount of space for two. Steve was a great host- always letting us know he was available if we needed anything but being totally unobtrusive. A really great stay! "
1484462,27394760,2015-03-03,26670851,David,"We had the greatest time in Steve's little nest of a backyard cottage! The amount of minute care and thinking Steve has put into the room's conception and supplies is truly amazing: there is literally everything you would think you'd need and had forgotten, and definitely so much more! Slam dunk on a lovely Zilker hideaway. Finally, we had a very nice dinner on Steve's - excellent - advice."
1484462,27545434,2015-03-07,12452686,Christie,Steve was very quick to reply all my texts. He was also a welcoming host and sent me a text to check on how I was doing and if there was anything else he could help me with. I really appreciated it and thought it was really thoughtful of him. The cottage was the perfect size for me and had everything I needed. It was also very nicely designed.
1484462,27687496,2015-03-09,28425955,Abbey,"We had a great time staying in Steve's cottage!  We kept commenting on what a clever design the space had.  Little lights, just where you would need them, sliding doors to conserve space, and and a well-planned layout made it a very smart little space for us to stay in.   He knew exactly what we would need.  He even had a humidifier set up for us (which we actually used).  His home and cottage are located in a great area of Austin!  It was so close to all the things in downtown that we needed to get to.  We had a great experience staying there!"
1484462,27868731,2015-03-14,5628195,Jen,"Steve and the cottage were AMAZING!

I had a later flight and he was responsive and absolutely fantastic. Took a quick cab from the airport, he met me at the door. 

The place itself is fantastic. Quick to downtown, super safe and cute neighborhood. Fridge had great coffee and beer, bed was super comfy and everything was very clean. Totally staying there next year for SXSWedu again!"
1484462,28321392,2015-03-22,27655824,Josh,"Steve was an excellent host and his place is lovely.  It was clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything I could need or want.  I highly recommend staying here to anyone headed to Austin!"
1484462,28704631,2015-03-29,3271769,Lisa,"If you are looking for a cute, convenient place to stay in Austin, this is it. This repurposed shed is now a great space for two who want to be close to Barton Springs, South Lamar and downtown Austin. Bikes were even provided!

FYI - the windows are great to let in the sun, but if you're not an early riser, bring an eye mask. "
1484462,30292664,2015-04-20,28002812,Andrea,"This was such a fantastic way to experience Austin! Steve has clearly put a lot of thought into making this hideaway warm and welcoming. We got in late on a Friday night, and Steve provided us with all the information to access the key well in advance so we didn't need to disturb (website hidden) and wine were waiting for us, as well as coffee for the coffee pot in the morning. We were within walking distance to South Lamar and classic places like Torchys, and a short Uber ride away from the hubs of South Congress and downtown. But it was great to come back to a quiet neighborhood and relax. We were also able to do a run down to Zilker Park and the river, and Steve was wonderfully kind and friendly even when we met him dripping sweat from running back up the hill to return. :) All in all, I can't recommend this highly enough-- private, convenient, and welcoming! "
1484462,30974226,2015-04-30,14373221,Emily,"Both Steve and the cottage were lovely!  We arrived in Austin while Steve was at work, and he provided us with all of the information we needed to get into the cottage ahead of time.  The cottage itself looks exactly as described and in the pictures, and was absolutely perfect for our stay.  It's the perfect amount of space for two people, and it had anything we would have needed.  Steve was incredibly friendly and helpful whenever we needed suggestions, but for the most part we didn't see him much (he was also out of town for a couple of the days during our stay).  The neighborhood is so beautiful, and was a great central location for many of the things we wanted to do.  We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend to friends as well.  Thank you again, Steve!"
1484462,31297014,2015-05-04,867545,Sylvia,"Steve was great! Very responsive and friendly--but still gave us our privacy while we were in the cottage. The cottage itself was just what we needed: Everything was very functional and clean, there was space for 2 and our stuff, and although it's small, the windows make it bright and airy and easy to hang in.  The location was also great for us, because we did a lot of hanging at Barton Springs and in the immediate area--and our house was close to all of it.  "
1484462,31678077,2015-05-08,11420583,Gerardo,"A really cozy and well designed Cottage to go unwind at the end of the day.. Coming in and out was a breeze. Steve is a very good host, helping out and available at all times. Thanks for a wonderful stay!"
1484462,31936602,2015-05-12,4302980,Theresa,"I've never met Steve but I think we could be friends. We arrived at 2 AM after a long day of travel & festival-going. The residence was easy to find and the entrance to the house was well-lit. Inside we found a charming, efficient tiny house with good coffee (Pete's), sugar, 1/2 & 1/2, a couple of lone star beers and a white wine blend in the fridge. It's the little touches that turn a good experience into a fantastic one.  Some aspects were a bit rustic (for example, a cement floor & ad hoc pieces of carpet) but make no mistake: all the important components were here: extremely comfortable bed, pillows & soft sheets, awesome shower (Steve was not kidding), coffee, wine & fruit. Although the 'shed' (as it seems to be called by those who love it) is in the backyard, it is very private: in part because of the architecture & design. I loved this space! Efficient, functional & comfortable. And it was out-fitted with everything we needed: earplugs, GOOD shampoo, a beach mat & camp chair & things we didn't need but you might: a cooler, umbrellas, contact info for the nearest urgent care & a fire extinguisher. 
We never met Steve but he was very responsive when we couldn't find the combination lock for the bikes. He did check in from time to time (via text, which is how I like to communicate).  The neighborhood was quiet, nice & close to many of the places we love in Austin: Barton springs, the riverfront & Zilker Park. I hope we get the chance to stay here again!"
1484462,32685990,2015-05-20,6244618,Marlee,Steve's Zilker cottage was wonderful and just what we were looking for during our quick weekend stay. Conveniently located to most things we wanted to do in town including Barton Springs. It was simple and lovely and nice to come back to after a day of exploring Austin. Steve was helpful from the beginning to the end of the process. Thanks! 
1484462,33070328,2015-05-25,26266455,Laura,"
Cozy cottage with everything you might need and more in very cute and convenient neighborhood. Would highly recommend. Everything was great for us - didn't lack for anything. "
1484462,33768546,2015-06-01,12675282,Micah,"Steve does an excellent job of making you feel welcome!  When we arrived, everything was neat and tidy, and he had even put some local beer in the refrigerator for us.  Now that's good service :)
This is not our first time to stay at the ""Private and Sunny Zilker Cottage"" and it most definitely will not be our last!"
1484462,34403107,2015-06-08,6200272,Francesca,"WOW! What a fabulous place to stay! Our visit to Austin was enhanced by the accommodations provided by Steve. I'm impressed by the ingenuity and thoughtfulness put into the design of 'The Shed'. Everything you might need is provided - shampoo, soap, towels, ice, coffee, cream, sugar, first aid kit, comfy bed...you get the idea. There was even a camp chair my husband borrowed when he went to the river walk. 

The location is primo, close to local restaurants, bars and a Walgreens. It's super easy to get into downtown Austin, taking maybe 10 minutes by car. There is also a bus that takes you into the city.

Steve was a fabulous host! He replied, usually within half an hour, to any questions I had. He's quite knowledgeable about the area and had suggestions on things to do and places to go.

I would definitely recommend you stay with Steve… You won't regret it!"
1484462,35206965,2015-06-16,10442311,Kate,"What a serene, perfect spot! Steve's place is such a gem: In the middle of a neighborhood that's so close to everything, this cottage is one of the most well-designed spaces I've had the privilege to call ""home"" for a few days. From the little touches like the guest book and the half-n-half in the fridge, to the bigger things that made our stay (privacy... a beautiful big shower... and Steve's wonderful neighborhood recommendations!), we felt so lucky to have stayed here. Steve was a thoughtful, kind host, and although we never ended up running into one another (seems like we both had busy weekends!), he struck the perfect balance of being solicitously available via text, while we enjoyed our private and quiet Walden-in-Austin vacation in this tiny home :) Steve, can't thank you enough -- and the next time we're in town, we can't wait to come back!"
1484462,35778300,2015-06-22,28337824,Doug,"Steve's cottage is located in the perfect spot to explore Austin. We made good use of Steve's bike to explore the nearby Zilker park area. Of all the areas in Austin we visited, the Zilker park area was our favorite area. Steve was so helpful in recommending restaurants and things to do and had a really positive impact on our trip experience. The cottage itself is perfect size for two people and is very peaceful/relaxing. Definitely excited to visit Austin again and will look to book Steve's cottage before looking elsewhere. Highly recommend staying here!"
1484462,37558160,2015-07-08,3388653,Jeffrey,"We stayed at Steve's back house for 5 nights. It was a really great experience. His house is located in a beautiful neighborhood that is also very convenient to everything in austin. The house clean and had all the guide books we needed. He even had the fridge stocked with coffee, tea, a couple lone star beers, and a bottle of wine.
My favorite part though was being able to use the bicycles.  His neighborhood is so pretty and it's within a mile of many really cool restaurants and bars on south lamar. Next time my wife and I come to Austin we would definitely stay here again. It has everything you need. Thanks again Steve!!!!"
1484462,37951382,2015-07-12,29563402,Leah,The cottage was perfect! The location is excellent--in a quiet neighborhood but close to downtown and minutes away from trails in Zilker Park and the river. Steve was quick to get back to us when we had questions and easy to contact. He had everything we needed in the cottage and made it so easy. We will definitely be back!
1484462,40202703,2015-07-29,20768302,Chris,"For a quick or an extended visit to Austin, Steves' Zilker cottage worked out prefect for us.  Location is awesome and the comfort of the cottage provided all we needed.  It may not be for everyone, but for us this little cottage was ideal.  An added bonus can be found in the mini fridge, where a little boost can get you started depending on what time of the day."
1484462,41197454,2015-08-05,18874918,Melissa,"We loved our stay at the Zilker cottage! Steve could not have been friendlier or more responsive (especially when we ran into an unexpected down allergy situation). The cottage was the perfect size for the two of us and felt very private. The windows with views of the trees gave it a tree house feel, and it is a very clever and aesthetically pleasing space architecturally. The fridge with beverages for morning and evening was a great touch. The location near S Lamar was fabulous. We enjoyed walking in the tree lined streets, proximity to local restaurants and shops, and to Zilker park."
1484462,45927461,2015-09-07,19541007,Miren,"Steve was an excellent host! His cottage is perfect for two people and conveniently located near Barton Springs, restaurants, bars, and only a short ride to downtown Austin. He was very attentive with our needs and would check in periodically to make sure we were content. I would absolutely recommend this place to others and hope to be back!"
1484462,46869562,2015-09-14,15542026,Margo,The location of the cottage was great and it was really clean. The downsides were that we felt like we had zero privacy. The curtains are very sheer and only come to about chest height. I felt like I couldn't change outside of the small bathroom. The free bikes were great though! Thanks Steve. 
1484462,47619466,2015-09-21,23432710,Ashley,This is the cutest little cottage EVER... we could not stop talking about how cute it was / how well designed. We were there for 4 nights and I don't think there's a better bang for your buck in all of Austin. Street parking and all the amenities you can think of -- even an umbrella and bug spray! I would definitely stay again.
1484462,49761127,2015-10-06,28799458,Kristina,"We had the pleasure of staying in this smart, cozy, cottage for 3 nights.  It was a perfect home base for ACL Fest down the hill at Zilker Park.  The bikes were key for hassle-free transportation to/from the park and plethora of good eats on S. Lamar.  My husband and I really enjoyed the good coffee and fresh creamer Steve thoughtfully left for us, as well as the beer, wine and toiletries.  The wifi worked like a dream, which was also much appreciated.  We'd love to come back!"
1484462,51472865,2015-10-20,44181318,Christie,"This was the absolute perfect way to experience Austin. It was clean, private and Steve stocked the place with every amenity a hotel would carry and more! I would absolutely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone traveling alone or with one other person. 

Steve is the best!"
1484462,52262755,2015-10-27,45764411,Lynne,"
Steve was very friendly and helpful. His little cottage was nice and comfortable set in a quiet and safe feeling neighborhood and very convenient to where we were working. Thank you Steve for being such a nice host and we were glad to meet you as well! Lynne"
1484462,52918442,2015-11-02,47339456,Flip,"Spending three nights in the cottage was an unforgettable experience! It has that boutique feel that upscale hotels wish they could provide. There was some heavy rain while we were there and it was the most comfy room to stay in and wait for it to clear out. Steve was on top of things, and he made sure that we were okay and had everything we needed. If you're looking to stay in Austin this is a wonderful spot, it's near South Lamar which has some amazing restaurants and other must-visit-places like the Alamo movie theater. I was very comfortable and Steve is an amazing host. Thank you Steve!"
1484462,53081427,2015-11-04,20430807,Tiana,"The cottage is such a sweet little space, and what a nice touch with the beer and wine in the fridge. My only complaint was the low and slightly transparent curtains which don't make it very private. But Steve was a very gracious host and his communication was top notch."
4198303,21326063,2014-10-14,21986228,Ryan,"Roland was very welcoming and showed great hospitality throughout our entire stay. We had a group of 4 come for ACL, and everyone loved the trailer! There is freeway access at the end of the street, which made the 5-10 minute commute to downtown even easier! The showers were hot and beds were comfortable! I will definately be calling him back next time I need somewhere in austin to stay!"
4198303,21633111,2014-10-20,8475137,Kristen,"Had a great time at the trailer!  The space was super clean and everything the photos showed.  Access to the trailer was really close to the highway, but far enough away that we didn't hear it.  Roland was very accommodating and we will definitely be staying there again.  "
4198303,22035974,2014-10-28,4443252,Lauren,"The trailer was awesome and it looked like all the appliances and furniture were new.  There were no unpleasant surprises, it was easy to get to, and Roland was an excellent host and made us feel very, very welcome. "
4198303,22325052,2014-11-03,22304856,Brett,"This place was awesome. 5 of us stayed there with the perfect amount of room. The trailer was very clean, organized, fresh and more then enough amenities provided. Quick access to the highway put us easily in to downtown in 10 min, and to the COTA track in 15. Roland was more than gracious with our stay and we can't wait to come back to the trailer for our next trip to Austin. I don't even need to look at other options in the future."
4198303,22607666,2014-11-10,1896909,Beth & Geo,"Roland's Trendy Trailer is what Airbnb is all about, an amazing place to stay with thoughtful details, style and comfort.  We stayed with friends for the weekend and it was a perfect place to come back to after being out all day. The place is stylishly decorated, very clean, well organized and comfortable. Everything feels brand new. The sleep number bed was fantastic! The small details that made our stay feel like home; cold waters in the fridge, morning coffee and a full kitchen to make breakfast.  The trailer is in a quiet neighborhood just outside of the city center, but very easy and quick to get downtown. Would highly recommend and will stay again. "
4198303,23411507,2014-11-30,22732195,Kate,"The house was beautiful and SO clean! So modern and set up perfectly for multiple people visiting together. It is right off the highway, but not loud at all. It was perfect for our extended weekend with family, and we will definitely try to stay here again next time we are in town!"
4198303,23869255,2014-12-13,17801483,Jay,"Wonderful email communication from the moment we booked, although no personal contact on arrival. The place itself is absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. This is obviously a refurb that has been carried out with impeccable taste and a great deal of care. Full kitchen to cook in, bathroom complete with laundry facilities and plenty of lovely little touches like bottled water in the fridge and a spare toothbrush just in case! The location is quite suburban which gives the whole experience and authentic feel, a taxi to 6th Street is only $20 and you can walk to the closest bus stop in about 5 minutes which will get you into town for $1 in a little under an hour. This is really one of those different and individual experiences that you can only find in a place like airbnb and we would highly recommend it! "
4198303,24364012,2014-12-27,23007291,David,"Roland did an outstanding job ensuring our stay was a memorable one. The place was fully furnished +++++. If I had any questions he quickly answered our concerns. We enjoyed sitting outside at night with a beer enjoying the evening. The area was OK but what made it  was how close it was to the freeway, airport, downtown, whole foods etc... Everything was within 20 to 30 minutes. We will definitely stay at Roland's place again."
4198303,26127273,2015-02-04,22533892,Julia,"We stayed at the Trendy Trailer for a month while we looked for a place in Austin. The location was great, Roland was an excellent host, and the place was great! Exactly how it was described in the post, and very clean. 
We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family who come to Austin!
"
4198303,26464390,2015-02-13,26212366,Brigit,LOVED this place! It was even more cozy than the pictures!  The sleep number bed and bedding were glorious!  TV's in each bedroom was a nice touch. I will definitely be back!
4198303,26701721,2015-02-17,17713635,Kaitlyn,Roland was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The Trendy Trailer was even trendier than pictured! Very clean and cozy. I would highly recommend this spot. Great value.
4198303,27008439,2015-02-23,10644733,Kathia,"This little place is absolute perfection! EXTRA CLEAN! We loved our stay, we even had a little BBQ. I absolutely will stay here again, very close to everything you need. "
4198303,27288982,2015-03-01,27850741,Brett,"Roland was a great host and the trailer interior was perfect.  It's obvious that a lot of hard work and attention to detail were devoted to the remodel.  Everything was comfortable and well thought-out.

The location is a bit of a mixed bag.  It was *very* convenient.  Being a few blocks from the highway ramps made all of Austin available in 10-20 minutes flat.  However, the neighborhood itself was fairly run down.  The surrounding neighborhoods were worse.  On one night (3am), I was woken up by the immediate neighbors shouting/arguing for 30 min while their dog lost its mind.  Although I never felt unsafe, at any point the area is something to keep in mind.  If we had to do it again, I might consider a different part of town, even if it meant spending more.

Regardless, it was, overall, a great experience and we appreciate Roland's hospitality!"
4198303,27589849,2015-03-08,26445429,Irene,"Roland was a real cutie with the southern charm to match. The trendy trailer had a great kitchen with everything needed to cook daily meals.  I also liked that he provided all the needed cleaning supplies and paper products. I had brought extra towels n linnens but left those in the car cause the house was well equipped. I didnt expect the bedrooms to b so small but its a trailer afterall, duh! I might also add that i appreciated the cleanliness of the place. The price was great and we had a winderful time there."
4198303,27779768,2015-03-11,18468026,Chang,The house is so cool and everything was neat when we arrived. It's also very close to Austin downtown. Very great experience! Love the house!
4198303,27904354,2015-03-14,19539552,Kexin,"The room is fantastic. It decorated fancy and comfortable, equipped with almost everything needed. "
4198303,28160047,2015-03-19,21750619,Michelle,The check-in process was very easy and smooth. Roland made sure that everything was ready and in place before we arrived. We were given complete privacy throughout the stay and had an uninterrupted time at the trailer. The trailer itself was very comfortable and cosy. The beds were especially comfortable! Would definitely come back again if given the chance!
4198303,28987638,2015-04-02,13458388,Shawn,"Roland was a perfect host. Prior to our stay, I contacted Roland several times with questions and he always responded within a few hours. While we were there, I didn't have to contact Roland once because everything was so well laid out and prepared for our arrival. 

His place is cozy and every detail is well thought out. The place could sleep four people comfortably. There is also a pull out sofa that could sleep a 5th if needed. The trailer has plenty of extra towels/sheets/blankets/pillows to make the stay comfortable. There is also detergent and dryer sheets if you need to do laundry. 

The area we stayed in was decent, not exceptionally nice but not run down by any means. We traveled into and out of the city several times each day and were able to do it in 15 minutes when we drove. Uber/cab cost us $15 when there was little traffic and no surge pricing, though we spent up to $60 on other nights.

Overall, this was a great place to spend the week in Austin and I wouldn't hesitate staying there again if I go back."
4198303,29271805,2015-04-06,19197152,Danica,"We had a wonderful experience staying here.

Roland was very helpful and responsive, and the trailer looked exactly like the listing. It was also impeccably clean and well-maintained. Five of us stayed here comfortably for four nights. The location is also great, as it was about 15 minutes to both downtown and to the airport. 

I would highly recommend staying here, and would definitely stay here again myself. Thanks Roland!"
4198303,29628117,2015-04-10,14812299,Sean,"This place was phenomenal. Indeed trendy, but a mobile home (read: more spacious, unlike a trailer as the title suggests).  My family of four was very comfortable here; the full kitchen was rad, the beds were comfortable, the AC was very welcome, and the quiet privacy was appreciated.  In the middle of our cross-country move from San Francisco to Durham, NC, the Trendy Trailer's washer and dryer and bathtub really hit the spot (not many bathtubs for the kids on the route we took). Plus, though new and modernly decorated, my 3-year-old and 2-year-old had little to get into to cause trouble, and my wife and I both appreciated the simple kid-friendly design of the space.  We like the Trendy Trailer so much, we want one exactly like it in our yard for our guests!  Thank you to Roland, our host, for his accessibility and attention to detail (among the many small, but important additions that made our stay flawless, we appreciated his calendar of Austin events and restaurant and activity suggestions and map with go-to stores starred on it). We'd absolutely stay here again and have already recommended the Trendy Trailer to friends who will be passing through Austin this summer. This was a great place for our first time AirBnB-ing!"
4198303,29819710,2015-04-13,26584051,Clay,"Roland is a great host and the Trendy Trailer is a super cool space! Roland went out of his way to to communicate with us prior to our arrival so that everything went smoothly. 

The Trendy Trailer itself is great. Super clean, very comfortable and we'll stocked with towels, etc. Great location,  only about 10 minutes from downtown. "
4198303,31138579,2015-05-02,21543855,Michelle,"Take the trailer folks
It's not only trendy but amazing
it was perfect for a quick getaway
Would make for a great weekend with friends and family
Close to the action of Austin but in a quiet neighborhood
Anything and everything you could ever ask for in the so called trailer"
4198303,31637792,2015-05-08,25606969,Chip And Mary Beth,"Roland was and excellent host. We didn't see him but he responded to all text and calls very promptly. He was very accommodating. Everything you needed was there. The ""Trendy Trailer"" was perfect. Very clean and neat. Very well remodeled. Privacy fence. New appliances and everything you need to prepare a meal. Location was great. Right by 290 and 183 making everything easy to access. We spend a lot of time in this area and will always use the Trendy Trailer."
4198303,31897670,2015-05-11,29858102,Amber,"We really enjoyed our stay at the Trendy Trailer. 
Roland was  a great host and very helpful.  I loved the way the trailer was setup.  The neighborhood was very quiet and only 10 minutes from downtown Austin.

My first Airbnb experience was great!"
4198303,32293423,2015-05-16,7967902,Tim,"The trailer was AMAZING! Very clean and even nicer than the pictures suggested! We did not meet Roland, but comnunication was very efficient. Instructions and access to the trailer were also very clear and easy. Location is about a 10 minute drive to downtown, but with easy access to highway. We used uber in the evenings to get to downtown and back. Worked perfectly in Austin. All in all a perfect spot for us. Would certainly stay there again!"
4198303,32482426,2015-05-18,30047669,Diane,Had a great experience! Loved the trailer and the location. 
4198303,32698221,2015-05-20,29558039,Michelle,"Roland was quick to respond throughout the time before the trip, and was very responsive to my text messages during the trip, I certainly appreciated that! The trailer is beyond anyone's expectations in the best way possible, what you see in the photos is what you're getting. Roland has made the place very accommodating. The neighborhood itself is okay - nothing kush (but what do you expect? You're staying in a trailer..), but it felt safe. (If you're a Friday Night Lights series fan, Tim Riggin's house is less than a mile away! :)) The place was very clean. I couldn't imagine staying in a hotel in Austin when you've got such a rockin' place here at the Trendy Trailer. (However, please realize that, again, it's a trailer! The room with the king bed pretty much has room for the king bed and that is it! The master room with the Sleep Number queen bed has a bit more wiggle room to walk around, but don't expect it to be like home.) The TVs in every room were a nice plus. Bathroom's shower head provides great water pressure and you get a comfortably hot shower out of it. Overall, such a cozy, comfortable, and chill environment at the Trendy Trailer. Certainly hoping for another time I can come back to Austin and do this all over again. "
4198303,33070437,2015-05-25,27333277,Julia,"Roland emailed me as soon as I made a reservation. He answered my questions quickly, even those I had the morning we were driving to Austin. The Trendy Trailer is SO CUTE! It's been remodeled with very nice finishes and clever furnishings - you really don't feel you are in a trailer, it's just a very comfortable small house. The patio area is very nice also. We were in Austin for UT graduation. It's VERY quick and easy to get from this house to the campus. I would definitely stay here again!"
4198303,33989152,2015-06-03,1218833,Joni Marie,"We really enjoyed our stay in the Trendy Trailer. The place is so cute, well decorated, and absolutely spotless. Roland was a great host and had the place well stocked with everything we needed. He was also easy to communicate with via text or email. Would highly recommend Roland and the trailer."
4198303,34433122,2015-06-08,2612219,Paul,We had an amazing time in this trendy trailer. Roland was great in his communication. Just a short can ride to downtown with easy access. Everything was as advertised and fantastic!
4198303,34737468,2015-06-11,34663499,Dorsey,"We loved it!  It smelled so good when we walked in, and Roland made getting in and checking out easy for us.  Nice little touches like coffee and plenty of towels made us feel welcome.  After very busy days, it was great for everyone to have their own space- if you have older kids, you understand.  Our first Airbnb experience - I don't know if I'll ever stay in a hotel again!  Easy to get anywhere in Austin from this location.    Very clean and cute - you'll be pleased.  "
4198303,35075888,2015-06-15,9052475,Matthew,"Roland was the perfect host. He made us feel welcome and was responsive and friendly throughout the process. His trendy trailer home was exactly what we needed for our time in Austin. It was clean, comfortable and had all of the amenities we needed. We also loved the cool art and decorations. Check-in and check-out were easy and quick. We will stay there everytime we go to Austin in the future. "
4198303,35489560,2015-06-19,7504557,Yan,Trailer is very beautiful and clean. It is rustic and modern. It has very thing we need for our stay. Beds are supper comfy. Roland is very nice and easy to communicate.
4198303,37060261,2015-07-04,32256062,Kathy,"We all really enjoyed our Stay! The trailer was exactly as pictured, and very clean and modern looking. Looking forward to coming back!"
4198303,37940673,2015-07-12,25442655,Thor,"The Trendy Trailer is AWESOME! My family spent a week in Austin at the Trendy Trailer. Roland had every detail ready for us. Including a map of his favorite shops and restaurants. The location is perfect. It was only a short drive to downtown Austin, but my favorite short drive was to the beautiful McKinney Falls. If I travel to Austin again, I will only stay at the Trendy Trailer. The Wi-Fi went down early in the week due to a router problem *NOT our host's fault.* He went out of his way to make sure we had access! "
4198303,39056136,2015-07-20,1354541,Colin,"Felt safe and comfortable in the trailer. Had everything we needed in it to enjoy our weekend getaway. Only took 10-15 min to get anywhere we wanted to go in Austin. Only got to wave to Roland, but communication was good, and instructions for check-in and check-out were simple! We will be back."
4198303,39555901,2015-07-24,37934757,Steven,The trendy trailer is a fantastic choice to stay at in Austin. Getting downtown wasn't too hard and the place was well-furnished with great appliances. The beds were extremely comfortable and the nearly room-size king bed was a an added plus. Everything here was detailed and thought to properly maximize the guests' experience and I truly applaud Roland for his efforts in making a truly worthwhile Airbnb experience. 
4198303,39999136,2015-07-27,23918190,Stacey,We had a lovely experience staying at the Trendy Trailer.  It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for a home away from home.  Loved the decor and the convenient and quite location.  Less than 10 minutes from UT/downtown area.  Perfect!
4198303,40955983,2015-08-03,827948,Mandy,"We enjoyed a lovely weekend in Roland's trailer. It was absolutely perfect as we had social events at The Domain just north of Austin, conveniently located 15 minutes away. The trailer more than made up for the Austin character and style The Domain lacks! The trailer was tastefully renovated and very well-designed. I was particularly impressed with the thoughtfulness of where electrical outlets replaced. There did not seem to be a single need that was not anticipated. The neighborhood was quiet and the privacy fencing around the trailer was a nice touch. We would be very happy to stay again."
4198303,42125154,2015-08-11,3033918,Melissa,"The listing was exactly as it appeared in the photographs. Everything about the trailer was great, and the AC was key to our comfort as the highs were in the 100s during my visit. The trailer is conveniently located and is not too far from downtown. I believe a cab ride was about $15 bucks from the trailer to the University of Texas.  "
4198303,42717938,2015-08-15,38257461,Winston,"Roland is very nice and also very responsive. Text him and he will definitely get back to you. I had a very smooth experience during my entire stay at Trendy Trailer. Great interiors, clean and also very organized! This house has every necessities you need. Trendy Trailer was definitely exceptional and will definitely come back if I had the chance to visit Austin again!"
4198303,43273365,2015-08-18,132165,Miriam,Nice property in a quiet location. Spacious with nice table and sitting area in front.  Easy to get and leave keys.  Did not meet Roland but all the necessary info was exchanged. Very clean property. 
4198303,44414912,2015-08-26,32766048,Christine,"The listing is really true to form, as this trailer is just as cool, modern and livable as it looks in the listing. Roland really did think of everything - from plugs by the bed to a washer/dryer combo in the bathroom. 

The location is not within walkable distance to anything, but it's a relatively cheap ride (I personally recommend Uber or Lyft) from the ""cool"" areas (6th Street, South of Congress), and I think the price and comfort make it worth it. 

We had four people, and I do think it was perfect for the group of our size. Of course, it can fit 6 but 6 people for one bathroom could be a bit tight. 

Overall, I thought this was a fantastic stay, and I highly recommend!"
4198303,45116715,2015-08-31,22067280,Trisha,Amazing space and overall experience. Definitely planning to return. Loved it. One of the coolest Airbnbs i've stayed at.
4198303,45958197,2015-09-07,38497195,Loyce,"This cozy, but spacious trailer was perfect for our girls weekend get away. Roland was a joy to work with and extremely prompt with any responses. I will definitely stay here again."
4198303,47032123,2015-09-15,20587662,Thomas,"Roland's trailer was amazing! Nice, hip trailer that felt like an apartment. TONS of charm to this place - Cupcake light outside, upcycled flooring that looked like it came from an old high school bball court, nice speaker system for playing music, etc.  The trailer sat on a nice, private plot with many friendly animals dropping by to say hello! Everything was a 15 minute drive or less away so location was great.

Overall, great place to stay in Austin and I would definitely recommend it to anyone else looking for a nice spot in Austin."
4198303,47663487,2015-09-21,36163648,Jennifer,"Our experience was amazing! The trendy trailer was spotless, and identical to the listing. Stocked with way more than we needed, we left by stocking additional things for the next guests. If we return to Austin , we will definitely stay here!"
4198303,47975676,2015-09-22,14451045,Yu Hsiang,"My friends and I stayed at Roland's place for a weekend in September. A really lovely place! It has 2 beds and the sofa in the living room turns into a bed. The wifi here is really slow, but the wifi is good enough for the smart TV (we watched 2 hours of Netflix on his TV with only a few buffering interruptions). 

There is a cat that occasionally wanders into the porch area, but that wasn't a problem for us. It's a 25-minute drive from the airport to the Airbnb and it's a 10-minute drive from the Airbnb to downtown and UT Austin. "
4198303,49119739,2015-10-01,6601124,Paul,The Trendy Trailer was a great base camp for hanging in Austin.  The place is beautiful and immaculate and exponentially more functional than any hotel could have been for us.  I would totally stay again next time I'm in Austin.  
4198303,49761527,2015-10-06,8515253,Jorge,It was a very nice place. Very clean and cozy. I totally recommend it.
4198303,49988952,2015-10-08,11182365,Nicola,"We had a great time in Roland's trailer in Austin! Nice, quiet and safe location. Easy to get downtown via uber. Contained all the amenities required plus some extra touches like coffee supplies! Would definitely recommend staying here again."
4198303,51606916,2015-10-22,3309619,April,The trailer was immaculate and had everything I could need for a four night stay. It felt very private and was the perfect home-base for our time in Austin.
4198303,52213698,2015-10-27,39853953,Stephan,"I felt great about how the host handled himself all questions previous to my stay were answered to satisfaction. The unit was less than a mile from the hwy and about a 6-7 minute drive to the downtown area. The neighborhood was fine.  we were there when hurricane Patricia dumped about 6 inches of rain and no issues arose. its a nice tidy place for a small family  to visit i would conisider staying again. 

"
4198303,52453013,2015-10-29,7726303,Cory,"The trendy trailer is an ideal home base for ATX and an excellent value. Adorable inside (just like the pictures) with a great bathroom, immaculate kitchen (and even free Halloween candy supplied by Roland). Only drawback is the lockbox for the keys was a hard nut to crack (but I may just be a moron). Only 12 minutes from downtown by car and 15 from the airport. "
1928538,28418723,2015-03-23,21287288,Liisi,"Scott is very helpful and welcoming.

This listing is especially brilliant if you don't have a car (buses nearby)."
1013523,10542522,2014-02-24,3218249,Kurt,"Stacey was an excellent host. Her property was exactly as portrayed. She was very responsive and provided great instructions to allows us to be very self sufficient for check in/ check out.

Overall I wouldn't hesitate to rent from her again, she's an excellent host."
1013523,11344737,2014-03-31,11124999,Seun,"Visiting Austin for the first time, the space and location was pretty good. Could not get a suite at the W and Driskill and ended up opting for this condo at almost a quarter of the price. Price aside, this has to be one of the most practical places to stay especially for parties of 2 or more on a personal trip. Definitely a recommend for a first time Airbnber. I find reviews to be really helpful so I will point out that this is not a hotel so expectations do have to be realistic as this space wasn't opulent but its not meant to be. It's very comfortable and has all amenities that we needed. "
1013523,11582454,2014-04-08,11773163,Mitch,The unit is just what is described. ..and right downtown and walking distance to everything we wanted to do. I would stay there again and would recommend it to travelers looking for a downtown location.
1013523,12270751,2014-04-28,3757206,Colin,"We had an amazing time, I would definitely recommend Stacey and her property in downtown Austin.

Context:
We had a group of 6 guys staying from Thursday – Sunday. All from out of town, rented a car for further transportation (but it was certainly unnecessary).

The Facility: 4
Can't beat the location. 5 minute walk to 4th street, 15 minute walk to Rainey St (our favorite part of Austin). So if you're looking to be walking distance to tons of bars and restaurants, you will have no need for a car. We however drove out to Lockhart and other parts of Texas. And there were two parking spots within a gated lot adjacent to the building. The apartment was sufficient, bedrooms were roomy and the space was well air-conditioned. My only hang ups were that the kitchen oven/stovetop was tough to use and the space is great for people like us spending more time outside of the apartment, than inside but wouldn't be good for the other way around.

Stacey: 5
She was an amazing host. Clear directions, easy access to the building. Incredibly accommodating and accessible.

Overall I give it a 4.5, but airbnb doesn't do .5 ratings. So I think Stacey has earned a 5.

Again, I would highly recommend this space and renting from Stacey.
 "
1013523,12535445,2014-05-05,12538860,Bill,"Our stay was fantastic!  The location is great, right in the middle of the city with plenty going on within walking distance!  Off street parking made our stay so easy and worry free for all the events outside the city we needed to get to.  The unit was nice, clean, comfortable and very easy for the 6 of us staying there.  Host communication was fantastic and very helpful.  Very professional and well thought out so very little communication was needed, everything went smoothly.  Highly recommended place and host."
1013523,12731821,2014-05-09,14911913,Fernando,Great place! Close to everything and clean.  A+
1013523,13104807,2014-05-19,2843692,Lila,"We enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable.  This downtown apartment has a great location and the pictures are exactly how the place is.  We were happy to have two parking spots, and felt very safe and secure.  The apartment was clean, and well kept.  We had extra blankets and a few extra towels. Also, the check in process was easy and we were very self sufficient which was such a relief.  

The host Stacey was very accommodating.  She replied quickly and worked with me on my reservation which I appreciated greatly.  My only notes are that the pillows were a little too thin, however there were plenty to use so we doubled up. Again, Stacey was very accommodating and easy to work with.  

We would definitely stay here again."
1013523,14101878,2014-06-11,12239102,Dave,"Great location and incredibly convenient access. The apartment was clean and nicely furnished. As a Brit I was a bit disappointed to not find an electric kettle, but I acknowledge this is America where tea making facilities aren't an essential kitchen item. Internet was fast and reliable. There was even some beer left in the fridge. Overall a great experience."
1013523,14599638,2014-06-23,13073664,Martin,"We had a great time in Austin.  Our host was responsive & helpful, the condo was exactly what we expected and the location was perfect. Overall great experience with zero complaints.  10 out of 10 stars.  I expect if we ever do this trip again, this will be the first place we consider.  Thank you."
1013523,14951385,2014-06-30,13109803,Mike,"Awesome place, good communication, no complaints."
1013523,15567556,2014-07-12,4895023,Jamie,"Given we were in Austin for the convention centre we couldn't have been closer, literally across the street. The area was nice with many places to eat and close to bus/tram stations so travelling was easy too. The unit itself was lovely and we were honestly sad to leave it. The only real downside was our proximity to a fire station: so we occasionally got disturbed by sirens at night - but not often enough to cause us any issue. "
1013523,15768447,2014-07-15,10352629,Niket,"The Downtowner is quite an apt name. It's 1.5 blocks away from the (in)famous 6th street which feels like a much younger and cleaner version of Bourbon street. 

We had come in for the weekend to learn a little bit about Austin and find places to eat. Luckily there was a ton to do right around this AirBnB and we didn't need any cars and such to partake. 

Stacey was responsive and made sure we had everything we needed which was great. 

I'd recommend this place if you have 4-6 people looking to have a good weekend in Austin."
1013523,16547311,2014-07-29,15063003,Larissa,"Stacey's place is conveniently located by the convention center and within easy walking distance of all the fun strips. The apartment was clean and had a great setup. It was very comfortable for a group of four. The included parking spots in the complex were an added bonus, especially in this area where parking can be tough. Stacey was also very responsive to any of our initial questions as we got familiar with the apartment. There were three or four bachelorette parties staying in other units in the complex, but they only got a tad loud on Saturday evening. In conclusion, if you are looking for a home away from home in a convenient downtown Austin location with a great host, I highly recommend this place! "
1013523,17041128,2014-08-06,11066896,Dawn,"We had a wonderful experience at Stacey's place. The location is wonderfully convenient for first time visitors or those travelling without a car. Really easy access to a lot of great neighbourhoods! The unit itself was clean and spacious, offering most of what you'd expect to be on hand (kitchenware, towels, etc...) and Stacey was in touch and available with us from the get go! Other building residents were friendly and the building and unit felt pretty secure. "
1013523,17342839,2014-08-11,15740701,Curtis,"Stacey was very responsive and accommodating. The apartment was in a perfect location, close to downtown, with two bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and a loft area. Area was spacious and comfortable.

Had a couple issues with the dishwasher and stove. Overall would definitely recommend again."
1013523,18330472,2014-08-25,18468200,Brandon,Everything was as described online. Great location and great parking. 
1013523,19191307,2014-09-08,1866926,Matt,"Checkin was automated, so we didn't get a chance to meet Stacey. Instructions were very detailed and Stacey is quick to reply."
1013523,19585840,2014-09-15,4323513,Ryan,"Had a wonderful time at Stacey's apartment. It was clean, well appointed and in a beautiful part of town - convenient to everything. The instructions on how to check in, check out and other aspects of the apartment were very specific and well laid out and I would definitely come back here. The gated parking spot right in the heart of downtown that comes with the rental is a huge plus!!!!"
1013523,20242978,2014-09-26,3672595,Max,"Great property across the street from the Convention Center. Very convenient for meetings and for nightlife. Condo was comfortable for 4 people. The included parking space is a must in this area since it's very crowded at night. I didn't have a lot of communication with Stacey, but she got me all the information I needed for a nice stay."
1013523,20892236,2014-10-07,14058472,David,"We had a great experience staying at Stacey's place in downtown Austin.  The location is amazing for walking access to anything around downtown.   The apartment was very clean, and Stacey did a great job communicating with me on how to access the space and how to find things.  I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Thanks"
1013523,21651080,2014-10-21,2676768,Steve,"This was an amazing apartment located in the heart of everything.  It honestly couldn't have been better.  Stacey was easy to work with, instructions arrived right on time, and I knew she was available if I had questions (which I didn't).  "
1013523,22177813,2014-11-01,12166971,Leigh,Great location and clean apartment which fitted the description. The host is a good communicator and easy to deal with. Thanks!
1013523,22747831,2014-11-13,917069,Stuart,The place and location were excellent. THe flat was clean and relatively spacious. I would certainly come back.
1013523,23159385,2014-11-24,8025345,Vicki,"Stacey's rental is perfectly situated in the heart of Downtown Austin. Initial communications with Stacey were easy and while she went out of town, I communicated with Aaron (her boss) while we were there and he was quick to respond and extremely helpful. Unfortunately, I never quite felt at home during my stay. While the condo was clean and fit the 5 of us comfortably, it clearly feels like a rental property. The upstairs loft does not have curtains or blinds so light streams into the room the moment the sun comes up. The blinds in the living room are thin, allowing anyone who walks by to see directly into the unit at night. This unit is great for convenience of location, just not a home away from home."
1013523,24018686,2014-12-16,2117130,Raúl,The reservation was canceled 40 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1013523,24523803,2014-12-30,17200584,Lori,"The place was clean and was just like the photos. We had a great time in Austin. We loved the neighborhood and could walk to restaurants, bars with music and shops. We had a covered parking spot which was so convenient. The condo had plenty of room for 3 adults and we hope to stay there again when we return to Austin!"
1013523,24845019,2015-01-03,23867655,Alex,Great location in the downtown of Austin! Perfect space for the 4 of us and our host's directions/instructions were very clear. Would come in the future!
1013523,25102778,2015-01-06,9760761,Katie,"Stacey's condo was easy to get to and very comfortable for 6 people. We had some trouble getting in touch with her leading up to check-in, but after we arrived she was responsive and helpful. I would recommend a car if traveling to Austin - it's tough to get around otherwise. "
1013523,25805650,2015-01-26,15148374,May  & Evan,Location location location!! This place was perfect for our group. The apartment was very clean and just as described. Photos in ad had not been updated so when we got there we were happy to see a flatscreen tv and an updated couch. We couldn't of had a better stay. You can easily sleep 6-8 people here depending on couples/groups. 
1013523,26141582,2015-02-04,24359707,Matthew,"Stacey was fantastic to deal with, she emailed very detailed check-in instructions and made it very easy for us on arrival. The apartment is very roomy and in a great location with it being walking distance to all of Austin's best restaurants and bars. "
1013523,26974179,2015-02-23,21803506,Johnny,"Though we did not meet Stacey, she provided clear directions for the check-in and parking process.  The Downtowner is located at the apex of Downtown Austin.  You can walk 5 minutes in any direction to great restaurants and bars.  The location is very secure and just 20 minutes from the airport.  We found the unit spartan, yet clean, and overall relaxing.  We would certainly rent again."
1013523,27322687,2015-03-02,25609162,Brandon,"Apartment was great!  Nicer than we expected.  Comfortably slept five.  Very clean.  Location was perfect - within walking distance of the downtown scene.  If I were returning to Austin, I would hope to stay here again.

We had one small problem with a door knob and Stacey sent someone to fix it right away.  She was very responsive and great to work with!"
1013523,27512566,2015-03-06,9744757,Kate,"This place was perfect!  It's located right across the street from the convention center and the place was very clean.

Stacey provided recommendations to restaurants and made it really easy to get in and out."
1013523,27639047,2015-03-09,10751772,Allison,"We had a great time staying in Austin at this apartment. You cannot beat the location--we were in walking distance to many landmarks, bars and shops in Austin. The apartment was spacious and clean. Stacey provided detailed instructions and made the check-in process easy. It was sometimes hard to get a quick response from Stacey so I would recommend contacting her directly about anything time-sensitive. Would recommend staying here!"
1013523,29595779,2015-04-10,22312782,Ken,We really enjoyed our time in Austin and the location of this apartment was excellent. We were very comfortable and Stacey gave us all the information we needed to find and enter the place. Would definately like to stay here if I could ever get back to Austin again...
1013523,30276535,2015-04-20,24710628,Peter,"Place was as described and was very impressed with it.  Good shape, clean, good showers.  Close to everything. I'd def stay her again!"
1013523,31053254,2015-05-01,30274774,Jaishil,"We had seamless stay at Staceys Apt. Its a very well maintianed condominium in, excellent choice to stay in the down town and its proximity to famous 6th street. Its a cool area. Very close to Hilton and city centre where in we were to attend the AICHE conference.

Host is laso very good crisp in comunication and good clarity in billing process."
1013523,32489663,2015-05-19,10262007,Veronica,"Stacey was a wonderful hostess! My 5 friends and I had an absolutely fantastic stay and couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious, and in a perfect location; it was so centrally located that we only had to take a cab once (to Barton Springs). We were able to access the amazing bars, restaurants, and trails that we were most looking forward to on foot. We would all happily stay there again if we were to ever visit Austin again!"
1013523,33221352,2015-05-26,26133251,Nameeta,"It was comfortable, clean homely experience away from home. The place met all the expectations however, the kitchen stove was too slow even to warm up the water. Overall very nice experience, centrally located to all the attractions. I would definitely repeat my stay. "
1013523,33766148,2015-06-01,4406065,Cathy,"Stacey was a great hostess! The condo was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. My friends and I loved the location of the condo. It was very central to getting to great restaurants and 6th St. We Ubered to a couple of places that were a little further of a walk but its location is a good area of downtown Austin. I would definitely visit Austin again and stay in Stacey's condo. "
1013523,34117599,2015-06-05,21962889,Ben,The team enjoyed the stay.
1013523,34420612,2015-06-08,28880885,Kristen,"The condo was very cute, clean, and well cared for. I had visited friends who stayed in other units at the Railyard, so I knew what to expect. I didn't have any problems, but my friends who slept downstairs did have some issues with noise from the neighbors late one night. We were also disappointed that the TV in the living room only had about 5 cable channels, and the TVs in the bedrooms didn't get any cable channels at all. (We weren't in the condo much, so I didn't bother asking Stacey about it -- so I'm not sure if it's just the way it is or if there was a problem with the cable.) The spiral staircase (while obviously fully visible in the photos!) was fine, but really only suitable for the more ""adventurous"" in our group (it gave one of my friends serious vertigo), and was a bit of a pain to go up and down for those of us staying upstairs. So take that into consideration if you are planning to use the upstairs bedroom! Overall a great location and great condo. "
1013523,34949873,2015-06-14,5147787,Lauren,My coworkers and I stayed at Stacey's place for a conference plus an extra vacation day in Austin. It's the perfect location and we had a great stay. Stacey was very responsive the couple times we needed anything - I'd definitely stay here again next time I come to Austin! 
1013523,35770257,2015-06-22,26898147,Nicholas,"The apartment is awesome.  The place is spacious and very comfortable.  It was spotless when we arrived.  The location could not be better, it was located in walking distance from all of the major sites and activities.  Thanks for everything. "
1013523,37297736,2015-07-06,28238700,Iain,"The location of the unit can't be beat; we walked almost everywhere. Note, though, that with that location comes some street noise. There was also some late-night partying in a neighbouring unit which got a little noisy. The unit was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Note that there is no elevator so you have to climb two flights of stairs to access the unit. Check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The wifi signal in the unit is not very strong."
1013523,38101729,2015-07-13,28256202,Emily,"Great location! Very clean. The keyless entry made our group visit so easy for anyone to come and go. Forgot to pack a few basic essentials that I would have loved access to like a blow dryer, iron, etc. Stacey was very easy to reach and communicated a response quickly. I would stay here again. "
1013523,44709869,2015-08-28,41783629,Jane,"More than we could have wanted! This condo was perfect for our trip to Austin! The location is perfect as we were walking distance to plenty of food, drinks, and local attractions. The complex is very secure and actually rather quiet for the central location that it is in. In addition, the condo was very clean and well kept. Thank you Stacey!"
1013523,46903881,2015-09-14,39928540,Adam,"This was my first airbnb experience. Stacey was very responsive and easy to deal with. The place worked out great for my group of friends. It's large, centrally located and near all the wedding events we attended.  Key-less entry make things easy. As others have said, it can be a bit noisy because , but all you need is a white-noise app and you'll be fine. I would definitely recommend ""the Downtowner."" "
1013523,49758673,2015-10-06,6512197,Jack,"Stayed at Stacey's apartment, along with a couple of friends, for ACL Music Festival weekend. Her apartment is funky, clean and convenient. Although located in heart of Austin's downtown, it provides enough distance from 6th Street to prevent disturbance from late night revelers.
I recommend the apartment for others visiting Austin."
1013523,51260795,2015-10-19,1404406,Jess,"Stacey's apartment is beautiful, clean and very well located. The keyless entry made it easy for all of us to come and go. I didn't get a chance to meet Stacey but communication was always prompt, and clear - the check-in/out process was a breeze. Our only slight issue was with the wifi connection as it was quite weak in some parts of the house."
5615072,31335598,2015-05-04,9390492,Lindsay,"Jay and his team at VacationCake were awesome! Very responsive and accommodating even when there was a need for us to switch to an adjacent property. He even offered us a free upgrade to a property with another bathroom. We ended up staying with the adjacent 2B/1B, and loved it! Decor was very hip and comfortable! I especially liked the coffee set up with fresh Fair Trade beans and a super fancy grinder! :) The keycode lock mechanism made checkin/checkout super convenient, and we also didn't have to worry about misplacing apartment keys while bopping around Austin! The house is really close to South Congress and 1st, which are chalked full of great restaurants and boutiques! With HWY 35 close by (but no noise from the road could be heard in the quiet Chelsea neighborhood), it was easy to get out and about to see more of the town and area! All in all a great little home base for exploring Austin."
5615072,33018012,2015-05-24,32850550,Cecile,"We really enjoyed our stay at Chelsea Cottage Unit B. The place was very clean and nice looking inside. The beds were very comfortable. The location was perfect, just a couple minutes from SoCo and very close to the airport. We were a family of 4 with with two little kids and it worked out great. We were on a house hunting trip and the kids thought it was our new home, so they were sad when we had to leave."
5615072,33304223,2015-05-26,7422292,Bea,"Jay was a great host! Communication from the moment he accepted was seamless. Jay and his team went above and beyond - providing us with a great stay. 

The cottage is in a great location. Really nice residential neighborhood and very easy to get to. The cottage is very clean and well maintained - like staying in a cozy hotel. The location is perfect if you plan on exploring Austin - we took really quick (&cheap!) uber rides everywhere.

Wifi is super fast and the netflix tv was great. We'd stay there again in a  heartbeat!"
5615072,46313067,2015-09-09,41856700,Erin,The cottage was perfect for what we needed! Had enough space for us and in a great location. Easy to get downtown and SoCo! Also I loved the colors.

2386734,11053218,2014-03-18,2722038,Edith,"Lindsay's loft is a pristine east ATX oasis! It is beautifully furnished and immaculately maintained. The airy, open plan allows for plenty of natural light, and the balcony is a lovely spot for morning coffee. As a host, Lindsay was easy to communicate with and incredibly accommodating. Internet connection was a priority for me due to work considerations, and Lindsay went above and beyond to make sure I was able to get online by providing WiFi password and ethernet cable as a backup/alternative. She made me feel so welcome with goodies like coffee, tea, and wine. Even though she was traveling for work, she was quick to reply to my texts when I had a question. She made this visit so easy. And the loft itself is fantastic. The bed is oh-so comfortable! There are bike racks in front of the building and a washer/dryer inside the unit. Awesome! I totally recommend this place. I love the neighborhood. East 6th is a lot of fun and downtown is a quick bike ride away. A+"
2386734,19838857,2014-09-19,15717065,Carol,"This was our first experience with Airbnb, and definitely won’t be our last. My husband and I stayed in Lindsay’s loft apartment for 5 days.  Everything was as described. The apartment was very clean and nicely furnished.  The bed was super comfortable. It was nice having a washer and dry inside the apartment.  Although we did not need it, a garage parking space was available for our use. We had easy access to the city via light rail service. The apartment is within walking distance of several coffee shops, a convenience store and grocery story. As a hostess, Lindsay was very friendly and easy to deal with. We would recommend this apartment and would stay here again. "
2386734,22353184,2014-11-04,13926559,Elaine,The condo was exactly as described.  Very comfortable and charming and had everything we needed.  A short walk to downtown Austin and some great restaurants and bars in the neighborhood.  Would highly recommend it while visiting Austin.  Thanks Lindsay.
2386734,28132641,2015-03-18,8318894,Mildred,"Lindsay is great!  She is quick to respond to messages and the whole process was seamless.  She also provided a lot of useful information of the area and the apartment itself is just gorgeous, comfortable, and a handy location too.  Thanks for everything! "

2386734,39837175,2015-07-26,22198146,Telly,"We loved staying at Lindsay's place. We are able to easily walk into downtown or catch an Uber to almost any Austin point of interest for $4-$10. There were a lot of food trucks and great bars nearby and the area was very safe.

The loft was really clean and spacious. It had all the comforts of home and Lindsay was very generous and prompt with replies. I would definitely stay here again."
2386734,42950572,2015-08-16,40429137,Renee,Lindsay was terrific and attentive.  She has thought through every detail.
2386734,49725448,2015-10-05,4291785,Olga,Great neighborhood and great loft. It's a lot bigger than the pictures depict. The city bikes out front are super convenient. We were in town for ACL and could maneuver through town and into the park with ease. 
2386734,50205482,2015-10-10,43964462,Laurel,"We had a great 4 day / 3 night stay at Lindsay's apartment.  It was stylish, clean, and comfortable. Lindsay was very responsive and helpful. The location is perfect. The building is very safe and the neighborhood is excellent.  I would highly recommend this airbnb listing. "
2386734,50523397,2015-10-12,44797018,Chris,Great location on 6th! Gated access to the private parking garage with surveillance  was very accommodating. The loft itself was spaciously inviting. Local cafe's/coffee shops were within walking distance as well as short Uber rides anywhere within Austin you need to be. Lindsay ensured a wonderful stay.
1392649,8070908,2013-10-14,8004346,Joannah,"Meredith was such a joy to meet upon checkout.  Her beautiful home reflects the vibrant, creative atmosphere Austin is known for.  We had a comfortable and pleasant stay within walking distance to ACL.  Highly recommend!"
1392649,20802757,2014-10-05,21986341,Allen,Very easy check in and apartment is exactly as described. It's about a 20 minute walk to the park. Would definitely recommend this to anyone staying in the area. 
1392649,21225849,2014-10-13,12370700,Johnny,"Our home was extremely close to ACL festival, walking distance which helped with the Uber surcharges. Great space, great host. "

1392649,22079879,2014-10-29,14097111,Gailya,Meredith was the perfect host-always available to answer questions but not intrusive.  Her place was cozy and convenient with all the comforts of home.  The location was also great to meet our needs as tourists.  Loved the addition of the musical instruments and the interesting art decor.  Meredith's place definitely helped make our stay in Austin memorable! 
1392649,29715164,2015-04-11,21456335,Michael,"Perfect place to stay if you're in Austin to discover what it has to offer. Located within just a short drive to downtown. Comfortable, clean and great espresso machine!"
1392649,29800998,2015-04-12,8167848,Laurie,Meredith's place was great for us!  She was very welcoming. The location is perfect and the house meets her description perfectly. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a place in the Zilker neighborhood.
1392649,46106431,2015-09-07,27789401,Robyn,"Meredith was able to accommodate us very last minute!  I loved how close to everything their place was.  Easy walking to good restaurants and a bit longer, but still nice walk to Barton Springs Pool.  Our little pooch loved that they had a fenced in back yard where she could ensure the squirrels stayed out! We enjoyed our stay."
1392649,47522407,2015-09-20,3897364,Emma,"We stayed in Meredith's home for 3 nights, and it was great.  The house has a lot of character and it was great to have the whole place to ourselves.  The beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed.  There is a back yard at the back, but we didn't feel the need to use it.

The location was also great - it seemed very chilled back and perfect for our holiday.  There were lots of food trucks nearby, and we would definitely recommend Brown's for a great BBQ!  Barton Springs is also very close and we had a great day there.  There's also plenty of parking outside the house and it seemed like a safe area.  We left our car there most nights and got Uber's into the city.

Finally, Meredith was very good at communicating during our stay and everything was very easy.

All in all we would very much recommend a stay here."
1392649,50282137,2015-10-11,14056228,John,Meredith was an excellent host.  She was very accommodating and easy to work with.   The house was very clean and comfortable. It was a great place to stay for the Austin City Limits music festival - about a 15 minute walk to the front entrance.  Would definitely stay here again.  
7287162,39586342,2015-07-24,28521244,Vince,"Loved my stay at this wonderfully artistic home in an amazingly beautiful, quiet neighborhood.  Robbin was a terrific hostess and her home is set up in such a fashion that you feel like you are in your own place.  I have stayed in other airbnb locations and many times you must make your way through the main residence.  Here you come in through a private entrance and the house is self contained on both sides.  The kitchen is shared but it was very private in the back of the house.  The bedroom set up was comfortable with everything you need, including coffee and water.  There are 3 different patios you can enjoy and the art that Robbin has displayed really made for a unique and very cool setting.  The location is central and convenient to just about anywhere you need to go in Austin and it was easy to find as well.  I will stay here again on future visits and highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Austin!"
7287162,41040612,2015-08-03,40036272,Phillip,"Robbin met me at the door and was very helpful getting me settled in.  The room was perfect, very clean and comfortable.  The house was quiet as was the neighborhood.  Room came with shaded patio as well as a roof top patio that was perfect for evening relaxing.  Robbin was a great hostess and gave me all the privacy I wanted."
7287162,41179101,2015-08-04,29539864,Meridith,"Loved my stay. Plenty of room, artistic, quiet, clean,-very comfortable. Robbin was such a gracious hostess-- friendly and respectful. Enjoyed my stay very much and want to go back in the near future. Highly recommend this place to others when visiting Austin."
7287162,42029353,2015-08-10,37100674,Noelle,"Robbin is a gracious hostess--warm, inviting, and anticipating guests needs.  Every recommendation she made was a home run!!  
Her beautiful home is a feast for the eyes with treasures everywhere to uncover!  The birds in the aviary were lovely and were quiet--their location was situated in a place that did not wake us."
7287162,43195381,2015-08-17,35329965,Jeannette,"Robin was simply amazing. She was so warm and welcoming! The room was adorable and her home was filled with so much character and love. I had a great stay, the only problem being I couldn't stay longer!  I'm sure I'll see her lots when I visit Austin! "
7287162,45030329,2015-08-30,42069618,Rob,"We had a great stay with Robbin. she was very welcoming and her home was cozy and nicely decorated with much of her own work.  The location is great, minutes to most areas.  would definitely stay there again."
7287162,45353756,2015-09-01,11301053,Julie,"This house DEFINES Austin! Please stay here!! The house was so welcoming and homey, but also hip and artsy. That shower in the guest bathroom is the bomb (you'll see). The next time I visit Austin, I will definitely be staying at here again. The location was just a 10 minute drive to all of the hot spots in Austin like downtown, Barton Springs pool,  South Congress, and about a few minutes away from Mount Bonnell. Aww, and Robbin was the perfect host! Very friendly and outgoing. I'm upset my cousin and I didn't have time to stay longer in her home!"
7287162,45732489,2015-09-05,5333970,Loli,"
Robbin was very welcoming and courteous, as well as accommodating my special needs for checking in times. The location is perfect, everything comfortable, beautiful place!"
7287162,46359115,2015-09-09,43601156,Andrea,"Staying in this home is like being teleported to another world...from the mind-blowing art -  floor to ceiling (not joking!), the remarkable location, to the infectious warmth and humor of the hostess! This was our favorite place to stay in Austin and we cannot wait to go back!! "
7287162,48035196,2015-09-22,43796760,Ann,"First off, our reservation was easy and Robbin was very quick to follow up with me regarding our stay.  The two rooms and bath were both clean and exactly as was presented online prior to booking.  The art and quirkiness of the place was perfect for us!  We liked that it was close to UT and really easy to get around Austin because it was centrally located.  Once the weather cools the outdoor areas would be great to enjoy as well.  All in all a very nice stay and very quiet!"
7287162,49613519,2015-10-05,40443376,Jane,"A friend and I stayed at Casa Azul for ACL weekend 1 and absolutely loved our experience. Robbin was incredibly welcoming, kind, and the best hostess anyone could ask for. She and her home radiated positivity and cheer, and we felt immediately relaxed and invigorated staying in the colorful and art-filled house. A short walk to the Taco Shack (a must for breakfast tacos,) and fun pubs and food trucks. Beautiful neighborhood with a great park and unique homes. Uber was perfect for getting around and the house is only a short drive to downtown. Robbin was quick to respond to anything we needed and left such helpful and detailed explanations to make our stay a breeze. She was a gracious host, generously offered anything we needed, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great stay, and a great experience in Austin. Hope to return to visit soon! Want to come back next year for ACL!  Thanks for everything Robbin! "
7287162,49928984,2015-10-07,17043361,Jessica,"Robbin's place was artfully refreshing. I loved the creative energy in the space. My mom and I enjoyed the rooftop patio which was extremely relaxing. 

Robbin was super friendly and accommodating. 

I would recommend Robbin's place for sure and would not hesitate to stay again. "
7287162,50446350,2015-10-12,19195891,Greg,"What a special home...all beautifully curated by our wonderful host.  We were immediately comfortable and enjoyed finding new surprises at every turn.  The gardens, aviary, and rooftop terrace invited us outdoors  for quiet reflection.  The surrounding neighborhood was equally charming with excellent dining within walking distance.  Our time was capped with a pleasant morning run  to nearby Shoal Creek.  "
7287162,51125677,2015-10-18,2547262,Anne,Robbin's place was great!  Rooms spotless and the rooftop patio fantastic.  Can't wait to stay again on our next trip to Austin!
7287162,51797917,2015-10-24,22326357,Emily,"Robbin made us feel very welcome. Her home is absolutely amazing. It feels like you've escaped to a tropical island somewhere. There is beautiful art covering all the walls. This is really a one of a kind place. At night, when the weather was nice, we were able to sleep with the windows open and get a great breeze. So nice. "
7287162,52054437,2015-10-26,41286296,Lauren,"I don't even know where to begin!  Robbin was the most gracious host and went above and beyond making sure I was comfortable as well as giving me several recommendations for places to go around town! She is the most friendly and vivacious person I've had the pleasure of meeting!  The rooms and bathroom were perfectly clean and comfortable.  And the amazingly colorful and quirky decor just adds that much more to the experience.  Due to an unexpected rainy Austin weekend I didn't get a chance to enjoy the courtyard or terrace, but they looked absolutely fabulous and can't wait to go back! I highly recommend Casa Azul!"

The house and grounds are art-filled. There are also birds and and friendly dogs. Its a nice neighborhood with easy walking access to good food and driving access to other parts of Austin. Robbin's suggestions for Austin activities are excellent."
1408111,10992606,2014-03-16,10815659,Chris,"Casey was a great host. Very quick to respond even though she was traveling outside the country.

Would definitely stay here again. "
1408111,28118546,2015-03-18,25062591,Jordan,"Casey was a great host, their home was clean and full of the latest tech. It was great to have DirecTV in every room and the kitchen was very convenient and modern. I would recommend others to stay here and sign the ceiling."

The ""sunny attic studio"" description was just as I had expected. It's the top floor of a home that is in a safe, comfortable neighborhood and was less than a 10 minute ride to downtown, very convenient. Being top floor, the apartment did get a little hot during the day and the shower is a little tight given the slope of the ceiling, but Molly made it all work. "
737355,2693782,2012-10-22,3914400,Kerry,"        This is an incredible place to stay!  I booked with Dianna last minute, and she was so kind and receptive!!  This little cottage has everything you need to relax and get away after spending the day (or night! :-) in Austin.  It is very close and convenient to downtown, and is located in a nice area on a cul-de-sac.  
        The cottage itself is behind Dianna's house.  It has a huge yard, and you can come and go on your own through her gate.  The deck in front of the cottage is large and perfect for sitting in the cool evening moonlight, sipping a beverage if you like.  Inside, she has decorated it beautifully, supplying just about any little thing you might need.  There were many extra blankets and sheets, etc.  In addition to a heating/cooling unit (which works great and even has its own remote!), there are ceiling fans, and even a box fan and a portable heater in the closet.  The little kitchen area has all you need to help yourself to beverages and snacks.  (She had coffee, beer, a bottle of wine, and snacks available.)  
          There are 2 main rooms, a living/kitchen area and a bedroom.  The bedroom has a large bed that is extremely comfortable!  Cozy sheets/blankets, plenty of pillows, etc.  The bathroom is off of the bedroom, and has a very cool shower.  There are plenty of toiletry items and towels, etc. 
             In the living area, there is a cool red leather couch that easily converts into a bed.  She has an eggshell bed liner to place on top of it to maximize comfort.  There is also a tv in the living area, as well as a little table where you can sit and eat.  
            Dianna herself is friendly and laid-back, and will give you your privacy, but is there if you need her.  (We managed to lock ourselves out one evening, but she was readily available with an extra key!)  Also, the porch light went out, and she immediately replaced the lightbulb.  She told us to let her know if there was anything we needed during our stay.  
          I cannot say enough great things about this place.  I feel honored to have been her first guest, and I definitely plan to return!  "
737355,3787013,2013-03-15,848495,Barbara,We loved Dianna's  bed and breakfast cottage. It had everything you needed and a very cosy bed. Dianna was a very gracious  host and left  a list of things to do in Austin which came in very handy. Her cottage is in a lovely area of Austin and we enjoyed the walking distance to the Bakehouse and Strangebrew coffee shop. Dianna did everything to make our accommodation  comfortable. We left as friends and hope to come back one day.
737355,4259372,2013-04-22,5912999,Kim,"We had a wonderful stay! Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. Nice attention to details. Unfortuntately, my stay was short. Next time I am in Austin, I wlll definately stay here again."

737355,12281077,2014-04-28,652856,May,"Dianna is an incredibly hospitable host, quick to respond, and extremely accommodating.  She even had beverages and baked goodies upon our late evening arrival!  The cottage is absolutely comfortable and has everything one needs for a short or long term stay.  It's located behind the main house with private entrance in a beautiful and spacious backyard.  The neighborhood is safe, quiet, and friendly.  Access to the main highway and grocery are only a few minutes by car.  There's even a walk-able coffee shop that's about a block away.

Dianna has been BEYOND gracious to us during our transition to the city as we smooth out the kinks of shipping and moving.  If you are visiting Austin, you will be in good hands at this charming cottage!"
737355,13456011,2014-05-27,15818195,Stephanie,"Dianna's neighborhood was so quite and charming.  I always feel awkward walking into someones backyard but she made us feel right at home. Great set up, safe with added privacy of the stand alone cottage!  I would definately stay here again."
737355,21227798,2014-10-13,18221981,Lulu,"Dianna was super nice. Left a bottle of wine and yummy snacks. 
The area was nice. Great breakfast taco place right down the road. 
The only negative thing I could say is that the place smelled weird and could have been cleaner. There was a bit of a bug issue. 
Otherwise the place is great and so is the host. "
737355,22886048,2014-11-17,3271141,Tom,"I loved staying here - Dianna was a fantastic host, the space was clean and comfortable, and the neighborhood is charming and quiet. Dianna checked in on me just enough to make sure that I had everything I needed and made some great recommendations for places to check out in the area.  Thanks for everything Dianna! Hope I can come back to visit again."
737355,28077364,2015-03-17,20823142,Flora,"This is the perfect place to stay in Austin. We absolutely loved Diannas place and would definitely stay there again!  It is exactly as described and better. Dianna is such a kind host, they made sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is incredibly comfortable and homely and it is in a great part of town. I would highly recommend Diannas place to anyone coming to Austin. "
737355,32343748,2015-05-17,13852877,Sandra,Diana made us very welcome and responded to any problems we had.  The place is small with limited cooking area but we ate out frequently so it worked out fine.  The neighbor is quiet but it is walking distance to the bus and to Strange Brew (lots of good music!)   Very comfortable bed!
737355,33183855,2015-05-25,33599333,Elena,"Quiet residential neighborhood in South Austin--loved walking around.  Cottage was just as described--perfect for our weekend in Austin.  Dianna was gracious, helpful when we needed it, unobtrusive when we didn't.  The decor inside the cottage was warm and welcoming--made us feel at home.  "
737355,47921184,2015-09-21,44163875,Dena,We had a great time. The Cottage was perfect & Dianna was an excellent hostess. Would certainly return for another visit. 
737355,49554767,2015-10-04,45331756,Patricia,"What an incredible find! Dianna was a superb Host, although we did not meet her until our departure, and that was a chance meeting in her driveway. Everything was perfect- she left a key for us, had snacks and fruits waiting for us in the kitchenette, great A/C with soft blankets- all very clean, neat and cozy. We came and went as needed through her gate, and although the cabin is located in her backyard it was very private. I loved the deck, where we enjoyed wine in the evening and coffee in the morning. Felt as though we were staying at a friend's house! The neighborhood is an older, well-established area with well-kept yards and friendly neighbors waving as we passed them on the street. Excellent location as well- just a short drive to Hwy 71, Mopac, I35..."
737355,50360201,2015-10-11,31858442,Grace,Dianna and her cottage are lovely. The cottage is adorable and pristine. Dianna left many different amenities to make the stay even more pleasant.  Wish I could have stayed longer.
737355,51941927,2015-10-25,45278166,Richard,"Short but enjoyable stay. Hassle free, easy access, Nice, clean living with full amenities. Would happily stay again!"
6304194,32863008,2015-05-22,16975226,Nicolas,Kristin and her husband were great. Their place is really tight up and clean. They let me use their kitchen utensils and small things like oil. They dropped me off when i had to leave.
6304194,33869726,2015-06-01,11774429,Todd,Kristin and Michael were great hosts.  They made me feel right at home.  They have a really cute house in a quiet neighborhood.  Easy to get around from their location in S Austin.  I had a great stay and would certainly do it again.
6304194,39338994,2015-07-22,36135747,Meg,"Mike and Kristin were wonderful hosts! They made sure I had everything I needed, were very welcoming, and made me feel at home. :) 
The day bed was surprisingly comfy and the room was as listed. Cute neighborhood with a lot of amenities near by. 
It was a great trip and I would definitely stay again."
6304194,45212699,2015-08-31,8641029,Haris,I throughly enjoyed my stay at Kristin's. Kristin and her husband were awesome to talk to and the house was exactly what I wanted. Would definitely book again!
6304194,49903565,2015-10-07,8435139,Lili,"Kristin was a wonderful host! She was very welcoming. The room was great-- tidy, clean, quiet. The location was convenient, close to a bus stop. I was easily able to get downtown. "
6304194,52053250,2015-10-26,7916515,Renee,I felt very welcome and at home with Kristin and Michael. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Such an affordable spot. And it was really close to the Yoga studio where I was doing a teacher training. It's also really close to a big Organic grocery and shopping area. Those are the main reasons I booked. I stayed in the room for a week and Kristin and Michael were always sweet and nice to be around. They made a lot of effort to make sure I was comfortable. They have a really nice back porch that I did yoga on in the afternoons. It even has a fire pit. Very chill spot.
2583106,13979227,2014-06-09,3608213,Brittney,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Pam and Mark’s while visiting the Hill Country for a wedding. This was our first AirBnB experience and I’d say it was a huge success! When we arrived, Pam greeted us and showed us around the house and the backyard. It was a beautiful home  – well decorated and very clean. We weren’t there long, but we did get to enjoy the hammock in their back yard – very relaxing. Our room was located above the garage and had a private bathroom. It connected to the house, but was still very private. The room was well maintained, very comfortable and offered plenty of space! Pam furnished the room with coffee, water, juices, fruits and breakfast snacks. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I didn’t have a chance to meet Mark, but Pam was very sweet and hospitable. They definitely take pride in making sure you have a wonderful stay… I would definitely stay with them again!
 "
2583106,15359120,2014-07-07,17159523,Susan,"The neighborhood was safe with large lots and a naturey, estate feel. We had a lovely backyard and spa at our disposal. The room was large with a table, tv and very comfortable King size bed. The bed size and hardness is very important to us and it was wonderful. It was a suite, not just a room. The hosts were very attentive and aimed to please leaving us homemade snacks and beverages. They even made a wonderful breakfast of scrambled eggs, fruit and pancakes. My only suggestion is to make clear they are going to have this lovely breakfast or we might have left early and missed it! I would recommend this to my friends."
2583106,15722742,2014-07-14,5278172,Hannah,"My husband & I really wanted to go to a concert at Nutty Brown Cafe, but were worried about driving home to North Austin from it (about 40 min drive). We decided to make a little getaway of it and found Pam & Mark's place on airbnb. It was very close to the music venue which was the initial draw. From the time we booked, to the time we checked out, Pam & Mark were excellent hosts. We were greeted & given a quick tour of the place upon arrival. There was a lovely array of snacks & beverages in our room which included a mini fridge, coffee maker, water dispenser, dishes & utensils. The highlight was the delicious banana bread Pam had just baked which we snacked on throughout our stay. The room was cozy and the king bed was very comfortable.  In the morning, Pam & Mark had easy/quick breakfast options available in our room or a fresh-cooked scrambled egg breakfast available downstairs. I would warn anyone who has trouble going up & down stairs that is an upstairs room and you have to go downstairs to get to the bathroom, but we didn't mind the exercise. "
2583106,16951869,2014-08-04,19064748,Fernando,"Pam and Mark we awesome hosts! My wife and I chose to spend our 1st year wedding anniversary in a different way and decided to try Airbnb. The room is very comfortable and in a great location, just a short drive from Dripping Springs, Austin, Lakeway, etc. We felt really comfortable and welcome in their home. They even kindly knocked on our door and brought us breakfast in bed on Sunday morning! Staying in this room was way better than staying in a hotel and we would recommend the room to anyone who wants to get away!"
2583106,20364120,2014-09-28,20955778,Michael,Friendly hosts and quiet location. Thanks for an outstanding stay!
2583106,21136203,2014-10-12,19990306,Rachel,"We had such a great experience with Pam & Mark. My husband & I were looking for somewhere that had a separate entrance (doesn't want to bother anyone coming in late from a wedding), and Pam was so nice from the beginning, she made is feel so comfortable. The room was very lovely, and they had set out banana bread & fruit on the coffee bar in the room and even had some juice and yogurts in the mini - fridge. It was all so convenient! She offered a hot breakfast, but we were going to an early lunch, so the in-room food was great! It was a wonderful experience, and a great location next to our wedding venue and Salt Lick BBQ in Dripping Springs. We felt very safe and appreciated the hospitality (as well as the privacy!). I would love to stay here again and recommend to anyone!"
2583106,22559303,2014-11-09,413222,Sara & Rocky,"Pam and Mark are  WONDERFUL. They are so accommodating and welcoming! Their home is beautiful, and the location cannot be any better. We wish we could have stayed longer for a hot breakfast with them, but unfortunately we had to make it a really quick trip. We can't wait to come back."
2583106,26514578,2015-02-14,21382035,Vivek,"Pam was awesome! Loved the stay, everything was perfect. Great room, awesome breakfast and beautiful neighborhood. Strongly recommend her place for a weekend stay.."
2583106,26575520,2015-02-15,27588689,Ryan,"Wonderful neighborhood with large homes on large lots.  The house was beautiful with a great front and back yard, and the description undersold this house if anything.  The room is spacious with a comfortable bed, tv, mini-fridge, large walk in closet, seating area, and anything you could need.  Pam and Mark were very nice and easy to talk to, but they allow you any privacy you desire.  A hot breakfast is offered and I would suggest taking them up on it.  We were able to use the hot tub and loved it.  We will happily stay here again in the future.  Don't get discouraged as the house numbers are not in order on the street, but you won't have any trouble finding the house."
2583106,27946536,2015-03-15,28104943,Allison,"Pam and Mark were awesome. Great neighborhood, beautiful yard. Offered us breakfast, left snacks."
2583106,28177624,2015-03-19,1851186,Joanne,"Pam and Mark's place was absolutely beautiful, quiet, and a completely pleasant experience. I am an Airbnb host myself and found Pam and Mark to be the perfect hosts and so thoughtful--from the breakfast that awaited us outside the room our first morning to the appetizer plate they brought up the stairs for me one evening at dinner time. The stay is private, yet they are always available if you need anything. Their house was in a perfect location (short drive to active parts of Austin), and between the deer on the front lawn to the hot tub in back, I highly recommend staying with Pam and Mark. If my travels take me to Austin again, I will be sure to book with them again."
2583106,28763410,2015-03-29,13619908,Rebekah,"Wow. Our stay with Mark and Pam far exceeded our already high expectations. 

Their home is immaculate, clean, and welcoming. The backyard is gorgeously landscaped. I cozied up in their rope hammock and listened to the gentle bubbling of the fountain and mellow notes of the windchimes. Our over-the-garage apartment was fresh, well-stocked (juice, coffee, hot tea, DELICIOUS homemade banana bread, fruit), and cozy.  

This was not at all a problem for us, but the bathroom is not truly private. It is located at the bottom of the stairs by the garage and the kitchen. While they keep their kitchen hidden with a screen, you definitely want to be fully dressed coming into and out of your bathroom.

We woke up to freshly prepared breakfast each morning, and Mark and Pam welcomed us at their own breakfast table. We felt like part of the family. Such a sweet, fun couple! We will definitely be staying here again."
2583106,29797115,2015-04-12,15392393,Natalie,We had a wonderful time at the Firle's house in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. The room was perfect and everything was impeccably clean. They also fixed a fabulous breakfast. They were very accommodating to our schedule and were very helpful. We enjoyed our stay with them very much! 
2583106,30737224,2015-04-26,31615138,Marlena,I had a wonderful time at Pam and Mark's. They made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable in their home. She had delicious banana bread and other goodies in our room. She cooked a wonderful breakfast for us in the morning. The hot tub was so cozy at night. We will definitely be back! 
2583106,33188168,2015-05-25,20225808,Raul,"Very pleased staying at Pam's place. Pam was very accommodating and welcoming. Snacks, water, OJ, in the mini fridge.  Garage spot available, very nice view, hot tub available. Just what we wanted, a nice place to stay at. Very nice experience. Will be coming back."
2583106,34972930,2015-06-14,32054960,Paige,This was the perfect crash pad for my husband and I while visiting Austin for a wedding. They were extremely hospitable and made us feel very comfortable. The hot tub was an added bonus that I didn't realize they had. We would definitely stay here again in the future. 
2583106,38230051,2015-07-13,37667258,Christopher,What a great place to stay. Close by many fun things to do. Our host was amazing. I will be coming back. 
2583106,38952608,2015-07-19,10172844,Kyle,"This was a great place to stay.  Pam made us feel very welcome and gave us advice on the different wineries and breweries in the area.  Jester King Brewery is very close (within 15 minutes) and the overall area is like a small ranch community of homes.  Nice to feel like you are away from everything.  There are tons of deer in the neighborhood to watch, and the backyard was very well designed, with a relaxing fountain, and hot tub!  We definitely recommend staying here."
2583106,51922914,2015-10-25,5761520,Collin,"Pam and Mark made us feel right at home during our stay. The property was beautiful, and full of deer to enjoy looking at. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. "
6066032,40846414,2015-08-02,2979305,Allison,Literally not ONE thing to complain about. Chanin and her home were LOVELY. Thanks for an amazing stay- Make sure you check out Torchys tacos just down the road!
6066032,42029237,2015-08-10,31983487,Tasha,"The cutest and most perfect house for a weekend away in Austin! Chanin was the best host and provided for us the most clean Airbnb I've ever stayed in.  All of my friends and I want to be her friend after seeing all of her awesome books/art/everything! Next time we're in town, she will be our first choice for sure!"
6066032,44211305,2015-08-24,40745282,Bruce,"Three generations of my family, my mom, my wife and me, and my daughter and her new husband, occupied the three bedrooms in this comfortable clean, well organized East Austin house. The house was as described, nicely decorated, and full of little touches like Starbucks coffee and Burt's Bee's shampoo.

Chanin met my family with the key, gave a tour and explained everything, including the WiFi, Apple TV,and Netflix. I highly recommend the Atomic Ranch, would gladly stay there again. I give it the highest rating. "
6066032,45808062,2015-09-06,38167631,Isabel,"The Atomic Ranch was simply amazing.  Chanin made us feel incredibly welcome and the house is so cozy, we didn't feel like we were intruding but immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.  Everything was very clean and absolutely ready for us down to every detail from the remote instructions to toothpaste and towels for the bathrooms.  I would absolutely recommend the Atomic Ranch and might even be reserving it again myself in the future, it was everything we needed for a relaxing weekend in Austin!"
6066032,47809999,2015-09-21,12365951,Colin,"Communication with Chanin was efficiently prompt during the booking process and upon arrival, we had an immediate connection. Chanin's home is stunning, loaded with art, music and a collage of collected cultures from many travels. With plenty of privacy and space to roam, the listing is clean, cool and comfortable, even with a space to park in the driveway! I have always loved the East Side of Austin and my Aunt and I had a fantastic weekend in the city. I would recommend this listing for your trip to Austin. With the soft beds and plenty of amenities, you'll feel right at home. Thanks, Chanin!"
6066032,50782242,2015-10-14,42781084,Brittany,"Chanin was wonderful, and the listing was just as pictured. It's actually cuter in person. The house was very clean and Chanin thought of every detail whether it be having eco-shampoo ready, solo cups, straws, walking me through how to work her tv - just attention to detail was cool.

Chanin was so easy to contact whether it be a phone call or text and was very accommodating if we had any issues. The house itself, was adorable (just watch out because there's many nic-naks on the wall, and our dumb selves may have knocked one or two off accidentally)! 

The neighborhood is about 20 minutes from a downtown area, whether it be South Congress or Red River st., but we just used lyft or uber. I would recommend having a bike if you don't plan on renting a car because it seems like a far walk in the heat!

"
6066032,51178779,2015-10-18,29441551,Georgia,Cute ranch house in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of space for our family of 5.
6066032,51894731,2015-10-25,36898905,Lilac,"What a gem! I loved this house in the heart of Austin. It was cozy but not small, classic but modern. We loved the decor and found the place to be very warm and welcoming. There are 3 bedrooms with comfy beds and two baths. The living room (shown in the picture) is funky and comfortable. We just loved it here and would love to stay here on our next trip to Austin. Maybe next time it won't rain so much so that we could also enjoy the back yard, the neighborhood and outdoor activities. Thank you, Chanin! You were a great host.

964594,6096368,2013-07-29,7647163,Colleen,Mary's Clarksville town home is adorable.  Beautiful restoration hardware-style aesthetics leave you feeling right at home.  Mary was extremely accommodating and made room for our last minute  stay and need for a flexible check out date.  Her kitchen was fully stocked and she was so sweet to have offered to pick up any extra toiletries or groceries we needed. She went the extra mile and we are super thankful!!  What a way to say welcome to Austin!  Highly recommend this place for out-of-town guests and extended fam.
964594,10415957,2014-02-17,8224883,Aimee,The reservation was canceled 17 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
964594,20920100,2014-10-07,653051,Leena,"Mary was one of the best Air BnB hosts we have had. She was super accommodating and easy to coordinate with. Her place was absolutely beautiful, comfortable and in a great neighborhood. Super close to ACL and a quick cab ride to downtown. She even left us snacks which definitely came in handy! I would absolutely recommend her place for future guests."
964594,22362102,2014-11-04,534189,Sandrine,"This was our first Airbnb booking.
We stayed at Mary's place for the F1 Grand Prix. The house was as described and worked really well for us. The location is close enough to downtown and the Highway 35, so commute times were no problem.
The house is very comfortable, and was very clean. 
The master bathroom is big and great. The master bedroom is very roomy, quiet, and the bed is very good.
The neighborhood is quiet, and we liked that we could walk to some restaurants.
Mary was very responsive. She is a trustworthy host. Thank you for the groceries.
If we return next year, Mary's house will be our choice.

8506283,48833463,2015-09-28,44898755,Steven,"I really enjoyed my stay at Nicks guest house, which is located in East Austin, the place is very comfortable and quiet, and you'll love the instant Expresso machine which I availed myself of. 

Nick was a great host who made himself available and responded to my questions quickly. He was kind of enough to stock some surprise supplies which I did not expect, like, a toothbrush, snacks, and even some brewhouse beers. 

This property was newly constructed when I arrived and I could tell that the place was brand-new, as you can see from the photo its also eclectic and would make the perfect weekend getaway."
8506283,50519214,2015-10-12,39246695,Gerardo,"The apartment is incredible. From the moment you come in you can feel relaxed as the space has high ceilings and its super clean. The decoration is very modern and makes the apartment look bright and open. The trees surrounding the house make the patio a perfect place to enjoy the outdoors. Nick was very nice from the moment we booked until we left. He was responsive and had arranged everything in the apartment so the 4 of us could be comfortable. This is now my favorite apartment to rent in Austin on Airbnb and  I'd recommend it to anybody. Another thing to notice its the location, about 7-10 mins. to Downtown.  Perfect for anybody that wants to visit Austin as a tourist."
8235896,49718581,2015-10-05,42500982,Ethan,Scott's home was the perfect place for us to call home for ACL festival! It was clean and just like the photos described. He gave us great directions and even mapped out the best way for us to get to and from the festival. Made for an amazing weekend. Thank you!!

Although we weren't in the condo too much, it was well kept and perfect for the four of us.  We comfortably enjoyed our stay here and would definitely rent again if we come back to Austin!"
1577364,8318911,2013-10-25,5387192,Eric,"We were hosting out-of-state guests and wanted everything to be perfect.  The experience with Joe and his house was outstanding!

Joe himself was very flexible with check-in and check-out times which was super helpful for us. When we checked in there was a concern about no coffee maker, and 15 minutes later, one showed up (along with creamer, coffee grounds, etc.) on the doorstep--he definitely goes above and beyond!  

The house itself is gorgeous and in a very nice neighborhood in Austin.  Easy access to downtown was key for us.  

Would definitely recommend!"

Downtown Austiin is an effortless 6 minute drive. The home is beautiful; luxury in the scenic west Austin hills. I especially liked the oak tree shaded rear deck for my morning coffee. Joe's descriptions are accurate.
1577364,13434077,2014-05-27,7543336,MArine,"We wanted to spend a relaxing Memorial weekend in Austin with some friends. Thanks to this beautiful house we had everything we were looking for : calm, fun, space in an exceptional artistic environment. Thank you Joe ! "

1577364,20088765,2014-09-23,18479622,James,"I was visiting Austin with my wife and 1 year old daughter from the UK. The house was amazing and staying here was the best choice we made as we cancelled a hotel booking in town to stay here. The area is beautiful and house is perfect to get the best Austin experience.

It is a quiet area however close to downtown and local stores too so we were never too far away from where we needed to be.

Joe was fantastic for our trip too, very accommodating to our daughter and  showed us round the area. It was a great personal touch and we are very thankful for it.

If anyone is looking to stay in Austin but not wanting to be in the traffic then id highly recommend staying with Joe 

Thank you

James, Laura & Evie"

Beth met us at her house, recommended some great local places and made sure we were comfortable. Her charming house is a few blocks from the south congress shops and restaurants...allowing us to walk everywhere."
1754919,10998741,2014-03-17,8763586,Curtis,"Beth was great to communicate with in the lead-up to my stay and her home proved ideal for my trip. A quick bus or cab ride downtown, it's also just a few blocks away from 24-hour grocery stores and restaurants. Furthermore, it's on a quiet side street that helps ensure you get some sleep (which is always in short supply on any trip to Austin).  "
1754919,20856824,2014-10-06,863342,Cairo,"Beth met us at her house and gave us a breakdown of the area and the accessibility to Zilker Park for the ACL Festival. We could have taken a bus, but the proximity to S. Congress with all its amenities/shops made for an entertaining walk. There is a supermarket nearby, so getting snacks/food for our stay was a cinch. "
1754919,22558464,2014-11-09,3882521,Todd,Beth was great. I enjoyed my quick stay. Great location. 
1754919,28120182,2015-03-18,17072627,Seth,"Staying at Beth's place in South Congress was perfect for SXSW. It's easy to get to the conference with uber or a bike, and great to be able to escape to a quiet location outside the fray! Also walkable if you're up for a long walk - we did this one night on the way back. 

The unit itself is cute and comfortable - and the decor is great. Beth was awesome about getting an air bed for our third person, leaving us oranges and Topo Chico in the fridge, and overall making us feel very welcomed!  

The only room for improvement was the shower - water pressure was a bit low, although for many hundreds of dollars per night less than a hotel downtown, this wasn't a huge deal. 

Overall a great deal for a week like SXSW - thanks Beth for a great stay!"
1754919,29789096,2015-04-12,30551994,Lori,"Beth's home was lovely as was she. The neighborhood was perfect for my stroll/run amongst the raindrops and little free libraries. Comfortable bed, tea, and her cozy kitchen table was all I needed. "
1754919,31261329,2015-05-03,12299776,Jay,"Beth was fantastic to work with and helpful in her flexibility at checkin. The location is perfect to walk to SoCo, close to a great greenbelt park and enjoy the Austin community. "
1754919,33015144,2015-05-24,5762580,Dayanand,Beth was very friendly and easy to work with!  She met us at her home to give us the keys and provide information about the home and the surrounding area.  The home is clean and spacious and convenient to all the fun restaurants on South Congress!
1754919,43326115,2015-08-18,16470316,Meaghan,"Thanks for everything, Beth! Apartment was so cute, staying again a week later. "
1754919,47791434,2015-09-21,4797110,Leeya,Beth was a great host and I loved her cozy apartment! Was in the perfect neighborhood and walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Thanks for everything Beth!
1754919,49880998,2015-10-07,18026269,Cathy,Beth made me feel welcome.  It was not til I went to bed at 11:30 pm did I check out the place.  The dust is overwhelming.  Both of the ceiling fans and molding is very heavy with dust.  It is about 6 blocks to a coffee shop not 2 blocks. The kitchen cabinets need cleaned. There is more clutter than the pictures reveal. I checked out early and had a hospitable departure. 
1754919,51385906,2015-10-19,36958975,Dan,"Beth was a great host. The house was comfortable, had everything we needed and the location was wonderful, walkable to tons of restaurants. "
5419307,37233820,2015-07-05,35831410,Jesse,Our stay in this loft was a perfect size for my wife and pup. We were walking distance from several restaurants and the drive time everywhere else we wanted to go to was less than 15 minutes away. The neighborhood is very quiet considering that it's 2 blocks away from west 6th st. Mireille was available to answer a few questions we had. There was a small welcoming gift when we arrived so it added an extra touch (bottle of wine and chocolate treats). Definitely recommend this place for 1 or 2 people. 
5419307,38046056,2015-07-12,37274712,Tabatha,"While small and cozy, the loft was comfortable and exactly what we were needing for an Austin weekend trip. We really enjoyed the location, as we were in walking distance to great restaurants, shops, grocery stores, and downtown attractions. The bed was super comfortable and cable TV was a perk! My only complaint was that there weren't enough outlets near the mirrors for blow-drying/straightening my hair ;) But I was able to make it work. The place was very clean, which was much appreciated!"
5419307,38462523,2015-07-15,34074225,Liz,Mireille was very responsive and helpful when booking this accommodation. The loft is cozy and a good size for 1-2 people and was a great base for my partner and I. Thank you to Mireille for the arrival treats! 
5419307,38574107,2015-07-16,28767473,Kathleen,"Charming, quaint hobbit house. Ceilings were low on the 1st Minnie floor. Although the Internet was great at first, in the evening when I needed to prep for meetings it did not allow me to down load My files. Place served it purpose."
5419307,39535001,2015-07-24,21106357,Katrina,"I can't say enough good things about this apt. VERY well appointed and spotlessly clean. The AC kept the Apt at an optimum temperature for the duration of the stay. It's not the largest space, but more that adequately accommodated my needs and is in a great location. Mireille was very responsive and I also had a bottle of wine and chocolate for my arrival, which was very welcomed after my long flight! "
5419307,40643805,2015-08-01,274127,Vanessa,"We had the chance to rent Mireille Apartment for 4 days and it was perfect. The location is amazing with good restaurants, parks and grocery near by. Mireille is a wonderful host and respond super quickly to her emails. Thank you again for everything! "
5419307,40855221,2015-08-02,22216713,Katy,The apartment was perfect for two for our one night stay in Austin.  The location is fantastic and the apartment was clean and comfortable.  We really enjoyed our stay!  Mireille was a great host and shared all of the information about the apartment with us to let us know how to get in and how to access the internet.  She even stayed in touch with us the day of our arrival to make sure that everything would be ready.  All of the photos of the apartment are accurate.  We would definitely stay again on our next visit to Austin!  Thank you again Mireille!
5419307,41833656,2015-08-09,17942409,Jose,"This is an excellent lodging accommodation in Austin. It is conveniently located walking distance from many different things to do in the city. Just a few blocks from 6th Street (although not walking distance from the part of 6th most popular for nightlife.) It was easy to use Uber to get around very cheap.

I would not recommend more than two people staying here since there is only a full size bed available (although you could squeeze in three if you had to). The host had a nice bottle of white wine awaiting us upon check-in. And the there were plenty of clean towels and wash cloths for our use. Check-in and changing the lock code was easy per the instructions given.

We walked the first two mornings to Galaxy Cafe for breakfast. It was delicious. We also walked to a Whole Foods to stock up on water and snacks for the apartment. Although we did not use them, it was nice to have a coffee maker, toaster, and stove available. Wi-fi connection worked great."
5419307,42231985,2015-08-11,32271552,Michael,We had a great time. The apartment was cozy and very convenient to downtown.
5419307,42643856,2015-08-14,24737348,Mills,groovy. 
5419307,43665728,2015-08-21,5216677,Michael,Check-in was pretty seamless and the apartment was cozy and comfortable. Close walking distance to a handful of restaurants. Great stay overall!
5419307,45148805,2015-08-31,38400120,Simon,"Perfect location for a city trip to Austin. Appartement is quite small but well equipped. 

We never met Mireille in person but she was very helpful, responded super fast and gave proper instructions. 
Thanks for the lovely welcome-gift!"
5419307,45671037,2015-09-05,11071306,Sam,A nice apartment in a nice neighborhood. Within a walking distance to the west 6th street with some restaurants but not to the east side which is popular with bars and night life. The welcoming wine and chocolate is appreciated.
5419307,45982127,2015-09-07,10602491,Sara,Great for a short stay in Austin! The loft was cozy and convenient. Mireille was super responsive and check in/check out was seamless. 
5419307,46446817,2015-09-10,11879103,Allison,"Very cute and clean bungalow near downtown Austin! The sleeping area is a bit tight up some steep stairs but it's comfy and cosy. I would stay here again! Also, the host was nice enough to leave us a welcoming treat :)"
5419307,46738242,2015-09-13,20210195,Bryan,"Nice place, close to downtown. "
5419307,47451047,2015-09-18,26809001,Charles,Very nice and clean place to stay. The bottle of wine and chocolates were a very nice touch. Very close to downtown activities. Thank you!
5419307,47673546,2015-09-21,39172841,James,Quaint little spot.  Had a blast.
5419307,48226881,2015-09-24,19715299,Russell,"Yep, it was great. Felt right at home. Bed was comfy. "
5419307,49064184,2015-09-30,44794789,Andrea,"Great location - could walk to lots of great Austin locations including Town Lake, bakeries, great bars and eateries, REI, Whole Foods, Trader Joes.  The host left a bottle of wine and chocolate candy - nice touch.  "
5419307,50090002,2015-10-09,11151288,Jennifer,Loved this rental! Super cute and in a really great location. Check in was super easy (I got in pretty late) and didn't need to meet anyone so I didn't feel like I was putting anyone out! 
5419307,50366112,2015-10-11,45306240,Brian,The space was clean and cozy.  It was located in a beautiful neighborhood with tree-lined streets and interesting houses.  We were able to walk everywhere that we wanted to go.  It was a perfect size for two people.  The shower head had great pressure and the air conditioning combined with the ceiling fan made for very comfortable sleeping conditions.  There were no issues in any facet of our visit.  We would absolutely stay there again.  
5419307,50731675,2015-10-13,26873418,Angela,Great location near to bars and restaurants! Basic and yet cozy. 
5419307,51538324,2015-10-21,42923065,Bonnie,"The pictures of the outside of the house were old the outside was a bit  rundown, the inside was very small the kitchen table you couldn't even sit at without your knees above the table.  We only had 3 towels to share between the 2 of us. the washer didn't work."
5419307,52463566,2015-10-29,5393631,James,"The space was as described, spacious and a well equipped kitchen area. The neighbor is great, very quiet street and just a few blocks to many eating destinations. Walk to a  great bakery, whole foods, restaurants.  There is a shared parking space but street parking right in front was readily available."
4234697,29557238,2015-04-09,20092742,Georgie,"The house was well presented, albeit a little too dark for us. Kevin and Karen were super responsive after a few hiccups at the beginning of our stay.  We were missing some kitchen essentials which were bought and dropped around the next day and the toilet seat lid had been broken by previous tenants which was also fixed the next day.  They also allowed us a late check out which we very much appreciated after our long flight home was delayed.  Would suggest a table and chair for the outside deck so the space could be used and some shelving in the wardrobes to allow for unpacking.  Lovely comfy beds and a really central location to all things Austin.  We loved that the beautiful Zilker Park was only a 5 min drive and spent a lot of time there.  Thanks."
4234697,33790788,2015-06-01,26351589,Lauren,"Karen & Kevin were excellent hosts.  They were available to answer so many of my questions before we even arrived in Austin.  I actually ended up booking one of their properties first but after some communication about what we wanted from our vacation they kindly relocated us to another one of their properties closer to 6th street.  While it wasn't the closest to be walking distance, it definitely helped us save money on uber trips to and from the residence.  Karen and Kevin had the house stocked with all the essentials and the digital lock and key really made it easy to check in  and out at our leisure and for our group of 6 to all have access to the house when we needed it. Thanks so much Karen and Kevin! "
4234697,47363711,2015-09-18,4705910,Nicole,"We enjoyed our stay at the Cozy Zilker Hideaway.  Karen and Kevin were very helpful and responsive.  Everything was as described.  The house is conveniently located in Zilker/Barton Hills, with easy access to South Lamar, South Congress, downtown, etc.    "
4194649,28952843,2015-04-01,5672355,Sophia,"We had a great stay at Martin's condo in South Congress! The place is immaculate, complete with fresh paint and contemporary furniture.  The rooftop deck was perfect for happy hour/sunset chit-chatting. There's a cute little pool on the property - more for cooling off than lap swimming, but still nice nonetheless. It's within walking distance/short cab to tons of yummy bars and restaurants. I'd definitely stay here again if I come back to Austin."
4194649,30917280,2015-04-28,31536900,Jason,The reservation was canceled 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4194649,33818366,2015-06-01,31536900,Jason,"The condo listed was exactly as shown in the pictures - a great place to relax for the weekend.  We really enjoyed our time there.  Great garage access, comfortable main level, spacious bedrooms / bathrooms, and a fun rooftop deck.

I'd stay there again, without hesitation."
4194649,50663544,2015-10-13,24113675,Katherine,"Martin gave us a great list of things to do in Austin, very helpful!"
4194649,52945166,2015-11-02,2606357,Alan,"Martin was the perfect host. He went out of his way to accommodate a late request to stay at his place.  He immediately responsed to every inquiry both prior to and during our stay. The townhome is extremely nice--layout is perfect. Clean, comfortable and ideal location. When making plans to return to Austin, I will look to see if this location is available prior to booking any other place. "
1574481,10842236,2014-03-10,802702,Sheryl,"We had a wonderful stay at this home in Austin. Our hosts could not have been better. The communications were incredibly smooth and the house was even better than described and so very clean and well cared for.  It was so close to many things going on for SXSW which made even the rain manageable. It was also walking distance to Rainey Street, downtown and all the restaurants and entertainment on 6th street. A perfect location for SXSW!  I would definitely stay here again! "
1574481,21345022,2014-10-15,20663806,Andrew,"Great location, communication, and overall experience. "
1574481,22284068,2014-11-02,23085242,Shane,This was a cozy place with in a few blocks of Rainey st. The house was clean and had everything I needed for my weekend.  I would recommend this place for sure. I may be back for ACL. Who knows.
5297935,27450649,2015-03-04,4656626,Jolene,This was a great place to stay. Joshua was a super awesome host that made sure I had everything I needed. It was a quiet secluded beautiful house right in the middle of town. It was hard to leave it. The pictures for sure don't do it justice. Easily room for two couples. I cannot wait to stay there again.
5297935,27523998,2015-03-06,4656626,Jolene,"Joshua was the best host. He had everything I needed to make my stay comfortable. This place was super private, quiet, clean, and way more room than I needed. It was hard for me to leave it. I would for sure recommend this to anyone. It would be great for two couples wanting to visit Austin. It's close to everything, and yet you feel like you are hidden away someplace very private."
5297935,28746483,2015-03-29,17891843,Genna,"We were super thankful that Josh was kind and very flexible with our check in time as our flight was delayed almost 4 hours. He gave us great instructions and the house was the perfect location for us (we had a car), we loved that it was spacious although we didn't use the house. There is also laundry and while we didn't use it we were glad to know it was there. It was a cute little house and I loved that it is well decorated and clutter free! "
5297935,30235204,2015-04-19,12679614,Lazaro,Great place! Host was always good at responding to questions.  
5297935,30799930,2015-04-27,30353971,Nikita,"Josh was a kind and gracious host. He was there to check us in even in the middle of the night! The house was beautiful, spacious enough to accommodate 7 of us and perfectly located. It was a great first Airbnb experience, I would definitely come back again!"
5297935,31214480,2015-05-03,23300711,Robbie,"Had an awesome time! House was described exactly how josh has it.  Great backyard to grill and hang out with friends.  Perfect location to get to the highway and right next to a large shopping center/HEB, which was nice! Definitely coming back! "
5297935,31911827,2015-05-11,16590106,Aida,"Joshua´s place is very nice. The house is fully equipped and the description  is really accurate.
Joshua is really nice, and he wait for us until late night since our flight was delayed. 
I will really recommend this house to stay in Austin.
We had a good experience."
5297935,42917860,2015-08-16,39068328,Bryce,Josh was an exceptional host and made it easy for us to come and go when we needed to. The house was great for our group of six guys. Would definitely recommend this place and host! 
5297935,44065828,2015-08-23,41812890,Anthony,This was a great place to stay. Very cozy with a gas stove (bonus if you like to cook). He left us some beer in the fridge. The couch is very comfy to sleep on too. 
5297935,45893475,2015-09-06,4475386,Ryan,Experience was great. Joshua made everything easy. I would stay again. 
5297935,47759462,2015-09-21,26839149,Adrienne,"Joshua was great as a host - made sure we were able to get into the house despite a late arrival and even had some beers waiting in the fridge.  The house was well decorated, clean and comfortable.  Special bonus for the dark curtains which allowed all of our group to sleep in late! "
5297935,50292258,2015-10-11,14500895,Ivana,"The place was ok. It's was comfortable and it had everything we need it. 
The entrance it's a little dark at night but if you already know the way that is not a problem. 
Joshua left food and beer in the refri for us :)"
5297935,52765664,2015-11-01,46937864,Marc,Great place for a get away! Loved the place and it was close to everything.  Will be coming back.
8486399,51227341,2015-10-18,46316313,Yassin,"Thank you very much to welcome us in the most beautiful way in your beautiful place, and thank you for all the advices you gave us, allowing us to enjoy more our trip (Jacob's well was definetely a nice place to go !). Thanks to you, we spent an amazing time in Austin ;)
I wish you a lot of happiness for you and the future baby !"
8486399,51998371,2015-10-25,46814191,Aili,This is a perfect choice! A big surprise! Neat and clean home! The next time I still want to be able to live here! Thanked the hostess for our well-prepared dessert! !
2262479,11056945,2014-03-18,12260053,Jonathan,What a great first experience using Airbnb! I stayed with Natalie during SXSW. Natalie was a great host and extremely accommodating. She was very communicative prior to and during my stay. Her place is walkable from the East 6th Bars and only a couple blocks off the late night 485 Bus Route --- super convenient. Would love to stay here again!
2262479,28254379,2015-03-21,2893324,Dave,We had a fabulous trip to SXSW and Natalie and Liam were the perfect hosts to. Memorable trip! The house was clean and comfortable and the perfect place to escape the madness of SXSW and rest your head for the night! Everything was easy from check in to check out Liam was always available to answer questions and had great recommendations to some of the cooler local spots! I would definitely recommend this house and I hope to stay again next year for SXSW.
80189,199360,2011-03-14,423920,Daniel,Matt was super accomodating to our last minute needs.  We booked the day before our stay and he had everything ready.  His place is super pet-friendly (friendly cat).  I would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind a short drive downtown.
80189,48843665,2015-09-28,30972895,Gaby,"Matt and Erin were awesome hosts! We were very lucky to have them host us on our first time using Airbnb. Both Matt and Erin were friendly, easy going and understanding. Their dog was a sweetheart and loved to play. 

We did not have a problem finding the location of the house. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Matt gave us a quick tour of the house upon arrival and introduced us to their dog. The house, the room and the restroom were very clean and well maintained ( and it smelled really good!). They were kind enough to lend us towels for our stay and also left extra pillows and blankets in our room. We were treated very well and were allowed to make ourselves at home in their living room, dining room and kitchen as well. 

Lastly, Matt and Erin were helpful in giving us suggestions about the area. When needed they would allow us time for ourselves but they were also happy to converse with us. We enjoyed our conversations with them and got to know each other. 

We would definitely like to stay with them again next time we visit Austin!"
80189,50112089,2015-10-09,19032600,Kassandra,"Matt, Erin & Sadie were spectacular hosts! It was my first time in Austin and these guys really helped in making me feel at home. I did the crazy thing and tried to bike everywhere, but Matt was too cool in giving me lifts when needed. Their home was centrally located between the places I needed to go (Lady Bird Johnson Center & Downtown). Their home is cozy, clean and in a nice neighborhood and fairly accessible to various eateries, cafés, etc. Austin has some hidden gems that are perfect for exploring, and as active natives they can definitely give you the inside scoop. My hosts were really communicative and overall I had a super positive experience. Wish I could've had more time with Austin, but regardless, I would totally recommend to stay with them during your next adventure!"
80189,50353042,2015-10-11,22177665,Alley,"Matt and Erin are great hosts. They are kind and well-prepared. Their home is perfectly situated, just far enough outside of the hustle and bustle but still less than 20 minutes from everything. The stay could not have been better! "
80189,50730601,2015-10-13,46191595,Andrew,"Matt and Erin are awesome! Their house is very pleasant and homey, especially with their friendly dog, Sadi. We loved staying with the couple and greatly enjoyed our conversations with Erin after she generously picked us up from ACL. We highly recommend staying with the two for a good experience in Austin!"
80189,52175874,2015-10-26,46864518,Wisdom,"Erin and Matt made our first away trip using Airbnb such a comfortable, fun experience! They were so welcoming and friendly and their sweet dog Sadi made us feel at home. Their house is a nice cozy place and it was perfect for us especially because we brought our puppy along too. "
7438206,40534544,2015-07-31,855612,Glenn,A very comfortable bed in a very nice home in a very nice complex. Jennifer went above and beyond the call in taking care of us. The next morning I interviewed and was offered the job. Coincidence?
7438206,45112375,2015-08-31,34850027,Beth,"Words truly cannot express how wonderful of an experience it was to stay with Jennifer. From the moment I arrived to my last day, she was incredibly helpful, hospitable, and an all-around amazing host. Jennifer's condo is absolutely adorable, and she continues to improve upon both the guest room and the common spaces every day. I'm a pretty big introvert by nature, but Jennifer made me feel incredibly comfortable to simply be myself. There's ample space and it felt incredibly private. Jennifer added small touches that made it feel like home and went out of her way to add some specific Austin and Texas pride decor to make the room feel even more welcoming and unique. If you like cats, you'll find yourself with a sweet, new friend in Darwin (he's the CUTEST!). However, if cats aren't your thing, Jennifer is really conscious and sensitive to your comfort level, and will make sure Darwin stays out of your space. The condo is in a great location - literally across the street from Target and so close to HEB. I never had a single issue finding parking VERY close to the entrance.
I am so grateful to Jennifer, Travis, and Darwin, for being so welcoming during my transition to Austin. I would very genuinely highly recommend staying with Jennifer in her gorgeous condo while in Austin! I have absolutely no doubt Jennifer will take great care of you!"
7438206,46626892,2015-09-12,41958261,Tengfei,"Jennifer is a wonderful host. She was very considerate, patient, and friendly, and I couldn't be more satisfied about my stay at her place. The bed was very comfortable and the room was so cozy. I really like the Texas-theme decoration she recently added. Darwin the cat is simply adorable and made my stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, close to highways, grocery stores, and bus stations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a pleasant stay in Austin. This was the first time I tried airbnb, and I was so happy about this experience that I will definitely come back to airbnb in the future."
7438206,51704633,2015-10-24,2071294,Amanda,"Jennifer's space was the first I spent not renting out the entire space, but only a room in one through Airbnb.  I was a little unsure of how that was going to be.  However, Jennifer and her space (and cat) were wonderful.  The neighborhood was very close to where I was working in Austin as well.  Thank you for the nice place to stay Jennifer and good luck with your studies!"
7438206,52333912,2015-10-28,1731763,Camilla,Jennifer was a wonderful host. The room was clean and very comfortable. The shower had a great pressure (bonus) and I felt really relaxed here. I'd definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
7438206,52857430,2015-11-02,8013564,Heidi,"Jennifer was in close contact with me, helping me with my travel plans, and also throughout my stay.  She greeted me warmly  on arrival.   The pics on the website do not do her home justice.   She has a lovely home and I felt immediately comfortable.  I had a perfect night sleep on a great bed..  The space was tidy and clean.  Darwin, the cat, was sweet and friendly.  The neighborhood, in a condo setting, was very safe.   I also felt safe enough to walk almost 2 miles to my conference site.  On one very rainy, stormy day, Jennifer and her friend offered to drive me to my conference site.

I would not hesitate to stay with Jennifer again, and highly recommend it."
7438206,53224227,2015-11-06,47836939,Riley,"Great place to stay in Austin! If you are looking for a clean, affordable, friendly, and comfortable room with a private bathroom, (seemingly hard to find) I highly recommend a stay at Jennifer's condo. Easy access to public transportation if you are traveling without your own wheels."

2274720,10578482,2014-02-25,9078154,Cindy,"My husband , mother- in-law , and I stayed at Lookout on  Larry for 3 nights in Feb.. We found the place as pictured. Austin flair! It was close to good places to grab a bite to eat and get a cup of coffee. We love the neighborhood and felt safe. Very nice hosts that are willing to please. We would stay there again. "
2274720,10694525,2014-03-03,7026364,Mark,"Our weekend at Lookout on Larry was awesome!  The house is amazing!  Traveling with three teenage girls, you never know what their take on things will be....they can't wait to go back!  And neither can I.  Yuki & Ryan are absolutely wonderful & made sure we had everything we needed.  On our way to Uchi Sushi, Ryan & Yuki suggested another Japanese restaurant to try-out at some time, Musashino. With a 2-hr wait at Uchi, we decided to try Musashino.  Wonderful place!  Soo happy for the recommendation :))  Thank you Yuki & Ryan for providing a fabulous place to stay :))"
2274720,10823680,2014-03-09,272357,Aaron And Erin,"This house is fantastic and the location is great. My wife and I stayed here for four nights in March. The gracious hosts left beer in the fridge, locally roasted coffee in the kitchen, nice soaps in the bathroom, as well as eggs from their chickens roosting outside. Very considerate. The house is extremely spacious with up to three sleeping area and two full baths. It has a Japanese farmhouse feel to it and has lovely, handmade details everywhere. Overall quite lovely and we'd stay again."
2274720,10924342,2014-03-13,8353885,Garrett,"Chichan is an excellent host and the location is exactly as described, and as displayed in the photos.  Chichan & her husband were extremely hospitable and gracious, always available for any questions, no matter how early or late.  I would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Austin."
2274720,11408021,2014-04-01,908590,Robyn,"We had a great time staying at Chichan & Ryan's place with two other friends for just over a week. They were really friendly and happy to help however they could. The guesthouse was well-designed, very clean and setup with lots of kithcen supplies. Overall, it was a great base for our stay in Austin, with accessible transit and roads to the university area, as well as downtown and south Congress. We'd recommend it to anyone & the space definitely could accomodate another couple if needed. And definitely try out nearby Contigo for brunch or dinner if you get the chance! 
"
2274720,11460961,2014-04-03,13675748,Wen-Li,"Our family of 4 stayed at Lookout on Larry for 2 nights and loved the place. It's spacious with modern convenience such as wifi access. Our children enjoyed the entire 2nd floor to themselves and liked observing the chickens while swinging. The hosts are friendly and generous to provide local beers and coffee as well as organic products such as shampoo, conditioner and soap. We liked the design of the house and the convenience of the location. We want to go back to Lookout and want to recommend it to everyone traveling to Austin!"
2274720,11689630,2014-04-12,11736001,Cameron,"Lookout on Larry was great. It's a back-house to an eclectic Austin family. Yuki (Chichan) and her husband are great, and the place is perfect. I'll be staying here again every time I'm in town for business."
2274720,11978137,2014-04-20,4165136,Maritza,"Great, environmentally sustainable place to stay! I think this is everything Thoreau imagined :) Exactly as pictured! Family immediately responded anytime we had a question. Excellent hosts! "
2274720,12287117,2014-04-28,4724682,Andress,"Great place!  Lovely host family.  The yard and walk up to the house is chaotic, but inside, the house is zen.  We packed 3 couples and 3 young kids into the place and there was plenty of space for everyone, just not much privacy.  Be prepared for a no-shoes house rule.  Walking distance to a great lunch place (opens at 10 am)-- ""Ingredients.""  We hope to stay there again and would definitely highly recommend it."
2274720,12659117,2014-05-07,4266623,Dave,"A wonderful space in a great neighborhood - Chichan and Ryan were welcoming, gracious hosts, and the guest house had everything we needed. The space is bright and airy, and with just two of us staying for six nights, we had plenty of room. I would not hesitate to book a stay at Lookout on Larry again...."
2274720,13134726,2014-05-20,5175947,Rose,"What a great location and place! Love the industrial look and feel of the place. I would definitely describe this place as a more studio/loft that is 2 stories rather than a house considering none of the rooms have doors but, it is still nice to have the rooms separate:) gas and food close by. Airport and downtown easy drive! It was just what we needed. It is an open design so though it can sleep many it's not as private. Had everything we needed but, could have used more than two body towels and perhaps some paper towels. Otherwise we were good! "
2274720,13289858,2014-05-24,15433102,Damon,"My wife and I were in Austin with our young daughter for few days in May.  Chichan and her husband were wonderful hosts and put a noticeable amount of pride and hard work into their accommodation.  The place was clean and very roomy.  Our daughter had plenty of room to run around and had a lot of fun getting to visit with the chickens out back as well as playing with the trampoline and sandbox.

The neighborhood is perfect with plenty of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and a great grocery store within walking distance (or a short drive).  Definitely an rising trendy Austin neighborhood. Just a few minutes driving will put you in Downtown, SOCO, UT Campus, Zilker or Austin's Children's Museum.  What more can you ask for?"
2274720,13578240,2014-05-31,282997,Katrina,Yuki and Ryan were wonderful. They have built a very peaceful and welcoming space. 
2274720,13845137,2014-06-06,2129349,Marie Alice,"My favorite AIRBNB place yet.  Wish we could have stayed a week instead of just two days.  The house is a work in progress, and it was perfect for us.  I loved the rough plaster walls.  It was very hot out, and the house was cool.  Loved interacting with Yuchi and Ryan and their two children. We were three (a couple and a single guy) older academics doing research at the LBJ library so the location was perfect. There is a bedroom with very a comfortable queen bed, bath and living space upstairs and downstairs and extra futons in the living rooms and wifi worked well. Visual privacy if not aural...sliding wood door at (email hidden)ickens at the door...!!! They recommended a really good Thai place and a bat watch on the bridge which we enjoyed.  Ryan and my colleague played Tabla set together and my colleague ended up buying a set when we got home. All pleasant.  They are using VOC free materials and want to create a healthy affordable place.  Watch the threshold in the upstairs bathroom! We'll be back!"
2274720,14082615,2014-06-11,13834914,Nicholas,"Yuki and Ryan were very friendly and accommodating. They asked us daily if there was anything we needed. The house was unique, spacious and clean. I would highly recommend staying here that's traveling through Austin."
2274720,14278999,2014-06-16,11772684,Helena,"We had a wonderful time at the Lookout!  The kids loved the chickens, and I loved the uncluttered, huge, natural open space.  The 4 kids basically got the entire second floor to themselves, and we all had plenty of room to spread out. Having a huge fridge and two enormous bathrooms are also a must with a family of 6.  The hosts are sweet and attentive, and the location is central to everything Austin has to offer.  We will definitely check availability for our next trip to Austin!  "
2274720,14481385,2014-06-20,13095510,Cindy,"This was seriously one of my very favorite Austin stays. The house is amazing, Chichan and her husband were incredibly helpful and intuitive. The street is quiet and the rooms are repurposed-chic and spacious. The wifi was great with a couple of spotty exceptions, but I think that could have been easily fixed on our end. The bedding was super clean, and extremely comfortable. The front house where the family lives has a lot going on and can look, at first, a bit wild but this is a classic Austin family raising their kids with lots of activities and adventures and chickens. There is a great coffee house down the street called Cherrywood Coffee House that we would recommend for coffee and working and El Chilito is right around the corner for INSANE breakfast tacos and horchata expresso. This house is IDEAL for two couples or for working writers or artists who want to relax in an open floor plan but still be close to a great part of Austin. I have recommended this house to no less than five other friends headed that way. P.S. the bathrooms are awesome:) "
2274720,14992284,2014-06-30,813956,Hannah & Jon,"Lookout on Larry was perfect for me and my friends. There are two floors and both are wide open, without separate bedrooms. But we were seven women, in town for a bachelorette party, so we didn't need privacy. The location is great - a ten minute ride to downtown Austin, and it was very easy to get an Uber. The owners were very communicative and responsive. "
2274720,15548468,2014-07-11,15187831,David,"Hosts were great and extremely nice. Space was just as advertised in the photos: clean, quiet and comfortable. "
2274720,15756001,2014-07-15,14880123,Bryant,"Chichan and her family were amazing hosts. Their place was awesome and if I ever come back, I'd definitely consider using it again. The biggest plus is how cool the backhouse kept during the 100+ degree weather and the amount of space we had."
2274720,16041481,2014-07-20,12775798,Christen,What a fantastic weekend getaway in Austin. Only semi familiar with Austin but this location was better than I imagined! There are so many unique restaurants on Manor Rd--you could even walk. Six friends shared this spacious two story guest house for two nights with no complaints. Beautiful and comfortable home. Hosts provided plenty of towels and extra blankets. We enjoyed coffee every morning while watching the chickens play in the back yard. I would highly recommend you try to snag a night or two here if you can!  
2274720,16567385,2014-07-29,4148739,Justin,"The Lookout was really splendid. Our hosts were quite accommodating and helped answer questions whenever we needed. Very centrally-located, I would recommend the Lookout to anyone who'd rather explore Austin than spend time stuck in traffic."
2274720,16663115,2014-07-31,38618,Judy,"This tranquil place is nestled in an authentic neighbourhood, with solid local hangouts, stores, etc..  and easy access to all the major institutions, venues & attractions.  Open layout on both floors provided plenty of space to unwind (for two couples).  We found the airiness and down-to-earth quality refreshing.  Mattresses were comfortably firm/ supportive; basic amenities for an enjoyable stay were amply available.   In addition, fresh coffee, cool beverages and eco-conscious products & furnishings were much appreciated.    

Yuki and Ryan were both welcoming and easy to communicate with.   I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unique, unpretentious getaway experience.     "
2274720,16874813,2014-08-03,1031795,Marcos,"The Lookout is an amazing deal in a great neighborhood with easy access to all of Austin. There's plenty within walking distance with the UT campus a short walk or trivial bus ride. The house is modern, stylish, comfortable, and quiet. Highly recommend."
2274720,17318320,2014-08-10,15735108,Renee,"This place is as beautiful as the pictures! The neighborhood is wonderful and laid back. We went to a charming place right down the street called Butterfly Bar and had dinner at the Patrizi's food truck there. The location of the lookout couldn't have been better!
The lookout was perfect. Very peaceful, bright, stocked with great coffee, a french press, cream and sugar. The kitchen is really neat with concrete counters and there is also a faucet out the front door with highly filtered water you can use!  The bathrooms are very cool. There is shampoo/conditioner and body soap aplenty! Fresh towels. The hosts are very nice people. She even sent me home with grape tomatoes from their garden. 
If you are staying during hot weather ask the host to cool the house down a day before arrival. I can't wait to come back soon. I left feeling refreshed and relaxed. There is plenty of room for up to 7-8 people easily. Two giant thumbs up. I absolutely adore Lookout on Larry. "
2274720,18184046,2014-08-23,16304358,Rita,"Such a wonderful experience overall. We consider this home to be perfect for what we needed. Location, clean, and even cool on 100 degree days. Best of all was how quiet and calm environment was. Love the chickens! We want to be there now! "
2274720,18380322,2014-08-25,20303844,Emily,We loved staying here! Great location on the east side...very clean and the hosts are friendly!
2274720,19118603,2014-09-07,8892770,Daphne,"Yuki and Ryan are very warm, welcoming hosts.  They are right next door and were available for anything we needed but never intrusive.  The house was perfect for our purposes.  Yuki and Ryan did a lot of the design and construction themselves, and the love put into the house was palpable.  The upstairs/downstairs arrangement worked perfectly for both privacy of each couple and areas for all hanging out together.  We stayed for 2 weeks and found the kitchen perfectly adequate for meal preparation.  We had easy access to UT and the downtown area.  "
2274720,20328154,2014-09-28,9454502,Sakura,It was lovely. We LOVED everything about it. It was so peaceful. 
2274720,20542964,2014-09-30,5422056,Robbie,Good
2274720,20679371,2014-10-03,5422056,Robbie,Great neighborhood and big space for the money. Perfect place if you like open space or have a lot of friends. 
2274720,20740346,2014-10-05,18249718,Ivan,Yuki and her family were so kind and accommodating. They made us feel like we were at home. They provided everything we needed. The place matched all the descriptions and a lot more! Next time I visit Austin I'll make sure to stay here again!
2274720,21194717,2014-10-13,16595030,Sam,"Yuki, Ryan and their family are great. They were very accommodating and helped with anything needed. The house is amazing, such a cool setup and in a trendy neighborhood. Will definitely return if I ever get the chance."
2274720,21325473,2014-10-14,19140867,Lauren,"Yuki and Ryan were such kind and accommodating hosts. My friends and I wish we had been able to stay longer! The space was beautiful, clean and cozy. An amazing deal! It's even more beautiful than the pictures. 
I would stay here again in a heartbeat."
2274720,21656691,2014-10-21,20182466,Meghan,"This is a great location, in a quiet neighborhood but within walking distance from a lot of great restaurants and bars. The hosts were really welcoming and friendly. They made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.  We had a very relaxing stay here and would stay again!"
2274720,21794095,2014-10-24,3328702,Bob,"This is a gorgeous place tucked behind the host's house in a part of Austin I adore. We only wished we could've stayed more days! It's incredibly clean, cool, and open, and the design has a distinct sparse but cozy flavor that fits perfectly with vacation.  Beautiful chickens roamed the yard during the day. We walked to several good restaurants nearby, and enjoyed that the host was available and in contact but not overly involved.  We had plenty of space to lounge and noticed that a bigger group could stay here easily if privacy (doors on bedrooms) wasn't a huge priority. "
2274720,21869311,2014-10-26,916052,Ben & Michele,"We had a great stay at Yuki and Ryan's place. There were 4 of us and there was a lot of space. It was clean, peaceful, and in a perfect location for easy access to UT and downtown.  We look forward to staying again.  Yuki and Ryan are very nice hosts. "
2274720,22292969,2014-11-03,19045444,Colin,"Wonderful hosts, house and location -  I recommend it highly"
2274720,22439247,2014-11-06,4604889,Melissa,"Yuki was such a welcoming host and we had a fantastic stay. The location was perfect both in terms of the neighborhood, which had cool places within walking distance to eat and drink, and for its proximity to everything else we wanted to see and do in Austin. The house itself was very spacious and comfortable. Couldn't have asked for anything more!"
2274720,22577427,2014-11-10,18762820,Alex,"Lookout on Larry was wonderful. A very cool space - simple, clean, and modern. The openness of it made it great for a reunion with friends. Location was great with a nice strip of bars and restaurants close by, and just a short Uber away from downtown. 

The hosts were great - very accommodating while also being hands off and allowing us to have our space.

I would absolutely stay here again."
2274720,22732612,2014-11-13,18022618,Stacy,This place is amazing. The hosts are very welcoming and the space is spotless. Our family of 5 was very comfortable and had tons of room. There is wifi but no tv. We actually loved this but something you should know before you go. 
2274720,22954473,2014-11-18,7722340,Kasha,"The house was beautiful and well designed, just like the listing. We wished we were traveling with more people, there was so much space!
Yuki and Ryan were kind hosts. 
They weren't ready for us when we arrived, however, even though we had communicated that day and we were later than expected. They hadn't finished cleaning up the house, and while they rushed to clean the bathroom and kitchen the floors in the bedroom hadn't been swept in quite a while.
Otherwise our stay was pleasant and the house is beautiful."
2274720,23106974,2014-11-23,22533905,Robert,"I was arguably neglectful about checking-in and arrived sooner than I anticipated. Nevertheless Chichan confirmed my arrival and had the place ready for me and my friends. The place was immediately a beautiful shelter against the gloomy day and the impending rain. It was stocked with towels and warm tea. When it finally did rain (and it rained tremendously hard), our host left stepping stones through the larger puddles, which I thought was exceptionally thoughtful. 

Though we were only 4 people, I think the house could've easily held more people comfortably. The beds were comfortable and plentiful. 

The lookout was centrally located as everything was at most 15 minutes by car, including the airport. The neighborhood was also very nice. At least two lovely coffee shops are within walking distance (Thunderbird and Cherrywood) and a bar (Haymaker). Plenty of decent restaurants nearby. 

Overall, I had a great time in Austin and if I ever go back, I would definitely consider going back to the Lookout on Larry. "
2274720,23241646,2014-11-26,1505275,Cathy,"We had a great time here.  The house is clean and comfortable and is also just a really neat space.  We met the hosts only briefly, but they were very friendly and easy to communicate with."
2274720,23356398,2014-11-30,8136862,Jacquelyn,"We had a great time staying here. Having so much separate space was very nice for the six of us. The five year old in our group announced that when we come back to Austin, she wants to stay here. She had so much fun with the stairs and the chickens, which our host was so nice to introduce to her. My daughter who used to live in Austin called it ""Hippy Heaven"", meaning that it has a down to earth, organic feel. Nothing too fancy but very comfortable. The area is very Austin and trendy with great restaurants. The hosts were very accommodating if we needed anything at all. I could see this as a great place for SXSW as it accommodates a lot of people and has a wonderful location. Very pretty natural wood, high ceilings and roomy bathrooms make it quite lovely."
2274720,24403015,2014-12-28,9997076,Angie," Lookout on Larry was just as I pictured it. It was spare, but still well-appointed and simply a lovely place to stay—peaceful and very, well, zen. I was there by myself the first week and my husband joined me the second week. It's really more space than two people need, but the price is right and I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Austin now. It has a great kitchen, which we did not use much this visit but we will next time, for sure.

The neighborhood is fun and quirky Austin at its best. Lots of great places within walking distance—our favorite, Cherrywood Coffee House was a 10 minute walk away. Also, In.gredients (a nationally recognized grocery based on sustainable, local, seasonal products) is super and just around the corner. Haymaker Coffee House and omg, DAI DUE butcher shop and restaurant, as well—yum!

Chichan (Yuki) and Ryan were perfect hosts—very welcoming and accessible, but the space still felt very private, too. We felt so welcome and very much look forward to our next stay! "
2274720,24717542,2015-01-02,8747778,Lauren,"This home was the perfect place for a short getaway. We loved the rustic feel of the place and the simplicity of it all. The neighborhood was eclectic, and so close to everything in Austin. We absolutely loved our stay."
2274720,25325210,2015-01-12,24052027,Aaron,"We had a great stay here. Our hosts were very courteous and generous. The place was as advertised, and maybe even a little bit more. The location was outstanding. "
2274720,25560498,2015-01-19,25507978,Margaret,"Chichan and her husband made my two friends and I feel very welcome. Lookout on Larry is in East Austin near a pretty cool street (Manor Road) with a bunch of taco spots, yoga studio, small grocery store, nearby. We had to take an uber to the more popular, bustling streets like South Congress, East 6th ave, downtown, etc. Lookout on Larry has a very homemade feel; Chichan's husband recently build this loft style apartment all by himself! There are lots of chickens in the yard surrounding the apartment and a ""workshop"" feel upon entering behind the house. There is a lot of space in this apartment and could easily hold more than just 3 people. There is tons of natural light, comfy, minimalist furniture, and an overall positive, healthy vibe. "
2274720,25701668,2015-01-23,10799568,Sam,Loved loved loved this place. I didn't want to leave. Couldn't have felt more relaxed while in town. I'm sending all my friends to your great place!!
2274720,26179467,2015-02-06,2729586,Cortney,"I would recommend Lookout to Larry to all of my friends in a heartbeat. This house is uber cute and comfortable. The bedrooms were super cozy, each having its own little heating unit and bathroom. Chichan has great style, lots of very cool details. There was also a sound system which was a bonus. We had a great stay. Thanks Chichan!"
2274720,26254083,2015-02-08,323398,Jarred,"An amazing little place to stay, simultaneously cozy and expansive. Great hosts too, couldn't have asked for a better set of people.
"
2274720,26598734,2015-02-16,2544521,Laura,"The house is definitely more on the rustic side, but very clean and comfortable.  There were chickens in the yard and Chichan was nice enough to bring us some fresh eggs and tomatoes.  The whole family was very welcoming and gracious.  
The neighborhood was convenient and had some great restaurants and yoga studios nearby, but as with everywhere in Austin, a car is pretty essential to get around.  We had a great stay and would definitely stay here again.  "
2274720,26779654,2015-02-19,20173750,Hayley,"Lookout on Larry was a great place to retreat.  Relaxing, spacious, quiet....  Thank you for a sweet place to reunite with old friends."
2274720,28298264,2015-03-22,8878009,Danny,"We had a lovely stay at Lookout On Larry.

We arrived early at the property and the guys let us move in an hour early. They had stocked the fridge with essentials which was really godsend after a long flight.

Occasionally we would wake up on certain mornings to find treats outside the door. Eggs, cereals, homemade salsa. Yummy!

The building is impressive with so much room on offer. There were two of us but you could easily sleep 8!

The neighbourhood was very friendly and there are restaurants and pubs within walking distance. An uber in to downtown Austin cost about 8 dollars on a quiet day.

I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for having us guys."
2274720,28915499,2015-03-31,24338358,Mireille,"We enjoyed staying in this home.  It was very peaceful.  The home was decorated in a modern but comfortable way.  There are two floors, the top one full of light.  The beds and pillows were very comfortable.  The kitchen was fully equiped and we were able to have most of our meals at home, which we like.  There was a store around the corner with locally organic produce.  We also appreciated getting fresh eggs."
2274720,29765736,2015-04-12,7449871,Ellen,Our stay at Lookout on Larry was great! The house is as gorgeous as the photos suggest. Hosts were very nice and accommodating. Beyond helpful w/ recommendations for what to do/where to go in the area. Would definitely go back or recommend.
2274720,30872184,2015-04-28,29100644,Glenford,"Great location to explore the Manor strip, which is fun to do, our hosts were true resources for ideas that we wouldn't have come up with on our own (swimming holes, byob bbq). Fireflies and a chicken run made for an interactive and relaxing getaway from home.

This was a calm and easy place to stay for a week and enjoy Austin.

Also, chickens!"
2274720,31053144,2015-05-01,1851368,Nate,"Chichan and her husband were wonderful hosts!  They were very easy going and have an absolutely beautiful place!  Super cozy and roomy, gives an incredibly comforting feeling just to be in the space and relax.  Plenty of beds for a large group!  I would highly recommend staying here!"
2274720,31528310,2015-05-06,24066724,Ingrid,"It was a great first Airbnb experience! The house was really awesomely built and loads of space for just the two of us. It was nice to return ""home"" with fireflies by the side, waking up to the roosters calling and having fresh eggs for breakfast. Everything was provided for and our host were really friendly and we enjoyed our stay very much! Highly recommended and we'd love to come back again!"
2274720,31644196,2015-05-08,30021835,Marysia,"We had a lovely stay! We loved the roosters, fireflies and character of the house, which was clean and nicely stocked with some handy basics. The neighbourhood was friendly and had decent amenities. "
2274720,32114204,2015-05-14,625889,Adrian,"Enjoyed staying at Lookout on Larry during our time in Austin. The space is huge for two people as there's a bedroom and bathroom both upstairs and downstairs. The hosts were lovely enough to leave us some fresh eggs (from their chickens) in the morning and comfy slippers were also provided to walk throughout the home. The kitchen had coffee and tea provided (grinder, french press and a stove top espresso maker). The location is close to all that East Austin has to offer. You can walk to In.gredients (a local market) to stock up, along with a bar and a few restaurants on Manor Rd. If you need to head Downtown or to South Congress, most places are a $10 - $15 Lyft / Uber X ride away. There is also plenty of A/C and fans for those warmer, more humid months when you visit. If you have a car the hosts are kind enough to let you park in their driveway."
2274720,32632869,2015-05-19,10419439,Kay,We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable and we loved the design.  The hosts were friendly but gave us our space. We will definitely book again as we are in Austin several times a year.
2274720,32960774,2015-05-24,26792583,Jason,"My family very much so enjoyed their time at  Chican's. It was a nice, well kept little home with lots of natural light and comfortable sleeping spaces. "
2274720,33914492,2015-06-02,611607,Jared,"The Lookout was exactly what we needed during our stay in Austin. Ryan and Chichan were the friendliest hosts, and the fresh eggs, bread and miso they left us to enjoy were delicious."
5480221,30727864,2015-04-26,27327024,Trey,"My wife and I stayed here with some friends over the weekend. The place was neatly decorated and had all the amenities we wanted. An added bonus was being able to bring our dog, and the fact that Lindsay's place is right across the parking lot from a dog park. 

Extremely convenient location with easy access to everything on Lamar, SoCo, 1st and 6th Street, etc. 

Highly recommended and our new favorite place to stay when visiting Austin!"
5480221,33195366,2015-05-25,33229037,Yin,We really liked the stay at this place. The property is per photos shown. It's in a quiet neighborhood close to Lamar and other main streets. The decoration is very nice and the beds are comfy. I would definitely recommend this property. 
5480221,34346121,2015-06-07,34068429,Courtney,Our host was very welcoming and made everything feel like home. The location is great and it is right across from the apartment complexes dog park which was perfect for our dog. 
5480221,49613210,2015-10-05,18264857,Eric,"My experience at Lindsay's house was fantastic. It is spacious and warm. We made use of the complex's pool, which was a nice perk. Great location, close enough to the airport and an easy Uber ride to downtown/Zilker Park/great food and bars. Lindsay was easy to communicate with and when I had any questions (before the stay or during), she was quick to reply and assist. Overall, a great stay in Austin. "
5040775,26067798,2015-02-02,25946662,Matthew,"I really enjoyed my stay at Mark's apartment.  The pictures and the description were very accurate, though I found the place to be even more spacious than the pictures would suggest.  

This apartment offered anything I needed within a short walk, plus the bus stop across the street makes the rest of the city available to you. As someone staying in Austin without a car, this was invaluable.  A lot of great places to eat near here as well! 

Mark wasn't in town during my stay but made sure I had everything I needed and was quite accommodating.  Mark's brother helped me check in and made it so easy for me-  I wasn't sure when exactly I'd be arriving, but he made sure it was at my convenience..so thank you for that!  

I definitely would recommend this place and would stay again in an instant.  Great place and a great host.  Thanks Mark!"
5040775,26379576,2015-02-10,25253051,Ruth,"We stayed at Mark's for the last 3 of our 7 nights in Austin. 
The apartment is clean, basic and spacious - Perfect! 
There's loads of great places for food, coffee and drinks in walking distance and the bus stop (literally across the road) runs frequently into downtown. Wherever you stay in Austin you'll need to jump the bus as its so big, so don't let the fact that this place is a little out of town put you off. Overall a great experience. Mark is a friendly, responsive host. Would defo recommend."
5040775,26564261,2015-02-15,5005332,Ricki,Mark's studio was great! It was very clean and the perfect size. It was a quick drive to downtown and in a great neighborhood. Mark was an excellent host and very responsive throughout the entire process. He was helpful and provided some really good suggestions of things to do in Austin during our short trip there. Id love to stay there again if I visit Austin another time!
5040775,27760745,2015-03-11,26356049,Joseph,The studio was very clean and exactly as described. Relaxing place to get away from it all.
5040775,28332498,2015-03-22,17064169,Tobias,"Mark was great. Really nice guy. His brother even offered to pick me up at the airport. He was also very honest about the place. It's not the Marriott Hotel, but he wasn't claming it to be. It's close to the Metro Rapid bus station and is close to the best burger place I've ever visited: Billy's Burger.  I can really recommend Mark as a host and I had a great time there."
5040775,28800119,2015-03-30,1869653,Bond,"We were in town for a wedding/mini vacation and were looking for a quiet and relaxing place to recharge during limited down time. Mark's place was exactly what we needed: clean, comfortable and peaceful.
We were very happy with the location, especially the coffee shop nearby (a 2 minute walk). They had good coffee, plenty of seating and wifi. There are also numerous places to eat on Burnett Rd within walking distance of the studio. Parking the rental car was easy at the studio.
Mark was very responsive with communication leading up to the trip and was a great host. It was our first time in Austin and he gave us some recommendations on places to see and eat which helped make our trip more memorable. "
5040775,29771331,2015-04-12,29959652,Sarah,Mark's place was perfect for what we needed for our weekend in Austin. The neighborhood was very centrally located and easy to get around. It was also very close to some awesome eateries! The apartment was very clean and just as pictured- and it was great that there was always parking. Mark was very responsive and helped us out if we had any questions at all! 
5040775,29899458,2015-04-13,20139,Christopher,"Room description was accurate: a very simple, no frills place to stay while in Austin. It is well-situated. For the price, it was adequate. There was a mix-up with the cleaning lady and the apartment wasn't very clean when we arrived, so we decided not to stay a second night. Host was apologetic and accommodating"
5040775,30239989,2015-04-19,10489837,Astrid,"Accurate description and pleasant apartment.  Mark was very helpful and our arrival went smoothly.  Apt is in a good location with easy driving access to Austin's downtown and airport.  Comfortable bed and strong water pressure in shower.  Kitchen and living room just fine.  Overall a solid stay, thank you."
5040775,30744530,2015-04-26,585989,Nathalie,"Mark, was very accommodating and the location was great. Close to torchy's and other cool shops."
5040775,31100821,2015-05-02,17607097,Rachel," My stay here was awesome. The place was exactly as listed if not better. Mark, for the few minutes we met, was very nice.  He kept in touch with me quite often both before and during my stay to make sure everything was enjoyable for me.  He even offered me an Uber code for a free ride. He left a cute little soap and shampoo for me, like a hotel! ( by the way, the shower was the best part of the room!! It was like (phone number hidden) psi "
5040775,32162430,2015-05-15,5339741,Carlos,Mark's place was just as described...great location and Mark was a fantastic host!
5040775,32812195,2015-05-22,28311051,Leidi,"Our stay at Mark's apartment was just what we needed. The quiet neighborhood was ideal after long days spent in the city. The apartment was clean, comfortable and its location was so convenient. Mark was incredibly helpful when it came to making suggestions, answering questions and responding quickly. Before our trip we had been contemplating moving to Austin and our stay in Mark's apartment gave us a more realistic experience. Since then we have decided to move to Austin and we're grateful to Mark for helping us in making that decision! I would definitely recommend Mark's apartment for anyone looking to have a relaxing and fun stay in Austin. "
5040775,50032267,2015-10-08,20284030,Agata,"Mark is a very friendly, chatty guy. He was very good at communicating via airbnb. His place is located in North Austin, with many restaurants and grocery shops nearby; I can certainly recommend it."
6325191,34996371,2015-06-14,28001933,Chris,Absolutely beautiful house in a great location in Austin. Crystal was very easy to coordinate with and her work into getting the house ready for guests definitely shows. Would recommend this house to everyone.
6325191,35392094,2015-06-18,31730146,Beth,"Crystal was a delightful host.  Everything was just as the pictures indicate, only even more charming.  The beds were so comfortable that it was hard to choose which room to sleep in.  After going through them all we chose the beds that we liked the most.  Truly a great experience, and she even provides some basic items that you may leave at home such as toothpaste, shampoo, and cotton balls.  If you're going to Austin, stay with Crystal, she will provide you with recommendations for restaurants and other fun Austin activities.  Book now because you won't regret it! "
6325191,37168267,2015-07-05,32820437,Julie,"The East Side Hideaway was a great home away from home! We had a group of 6 stay over 4th of July weekend. The house is clean and organized, with cool design, and very comfy beds. We flew in and Ubered everywhere, but there's bike rentals all over the place, there's a bunch of restaurants and bars within walking distance, and you can actually order groceries and have them delivered when you get there. Crystal provided us a ton of great suggestions; coffee (Keurig and French press); some drinks, beer and wine (just replace when you leave); grilling supplies (upon request); kitchen supplies; and toiletries. Crystal always communicated with me quickly even as I wasn't quite so quick since life is busy! 

So great! I know there are not that many reviews for this one, but Crystal has a great rep from her other properties, and it is well deserved. Stay here! You'll love it! Thanks!"
6325191,37377216,2015-07-06,19810419,Amy,"Easiest experience yet. Crystal was very responsive, checkin was a complete breeze, all information was communicated succinctly and in advance, place was very clean. A great option!!"
6325191,38929089,2015-07-19,38003307,Priscilla,The home was beautiful and very well kept and clean! Crystal did a great job accommodating our needs. We will be back! Highly recommended. 
6325191,41713332,2015-08-08,22062677,Naomi,"I visited Austin from Houston with some family members to show our uncle from London around. The location was perfect, we walked around the city in the evening and hiked along a river early in the morning. There were enough beds to sleep six of us very comfortably, we enjoyed the coffee and beers, and grilled burgers out back for dinner. I recommend it."
6325191,42894022,2015-08-16,6092150,Mark,"The house was everything we had hoped it would be.  Crystal was very accommodating and friendly throughout the process.  She's clearly a pro and this is a very well-run operation, right down to the most minute details.  Luxurious sheets and towels, comfortable beds, robes for every guest (!).  We would highly recommend Crystal, and would happily book this house again."
6325191,44010527,2015-08-23,28936954,Justin,Absolutely great home that couldn't not have been better! The pictures are great but the reality is better and the location is superb.  I HIGHLY recommend!
6325191,45100131,2015-08-31,1997500,Adam,"Completely at home. Everything was well organized, lots of room, very nice place."
6325191,45944159,2015-09-07,11894413,Alex,"This was my 4th time in austin and I came with a group of bachelors.  I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to setup but Crystal's guide helped grow that list even more.  She was so responsive, organized, and the place was perfect.  The beds are incredible. Get your coffee and bfast tacos over at CNOTE.  I place like this one makes me want to move to austin. 

Also you dont need a car in austin because uber is so cheap but there is a parking spot if you feel inclined. "
6325191,46722639,2015-09-13,23091482,Avni,Provided lots of suggestions for things to do around Austin. Spacious and clean house. Thank you Crystal! 
6325191,49261412,2015-10-02,41173187,Nancy,"Great Host,
Very communicative and accommodation regarding check-in time. House was nicely re-modeled and well cared for. Beds were very comfortable and refreshments were kindly left for us. Would definitely book again. "
6325191,49429038,2015-10-04,8654858,Luiza,The Hideaway was perfect for our group! Everything was set up like we expected and Crystal did a great job welcoming us to Austin. Highly recommend!
6325191,50112903,2015-10-09,1366117,Brendan,"Place was exactly as it looks and is described -- spacious, super clean, modern, and totally walkable to downtown and great spots in East Austin. Crystal is a hosting pro. She had rad rec's and the place is overall kitted out for Airbnb. Excellent experience."
6325191,50435624,2015-10-12,1201818,Claire,Crystal's house is well appointed and we felt right at home. She left great instructions and suggestions.  We loved the quiet neighborhood and how easy it was for us to get around Austin from that location!
6325191,50762826,2015-10-14,25646828,Daniel,"Great stay. The Cold beer, clean house and great beds all were memorable. Highly recommend. "
6325191,51109901,2015-10-18,19002899,Janet,"I think this is the best Airbnb I have stayed in yet.  It is very spacious.  and comfortable in every way.  The location was great too.  I would rent it again in a nano second.

Janet Nelson"
6325191,52026430,2015-10-25,44833751,Mark,Great place!  Super clean and had everything you could possibly need for  our stay!  
6325191,52400130,2015-10-29,5214022,Jennifer,"Crystal was quick to communicate whenever needed. The house was conveniently located, clean, and comfortable. I wish we could've spent more time enjoying the grill and patio!"
4516994,23409900,2014-11-30,24078455,Marissa,"Jes's apartment was great. Super convenient location for my dad and I to walk to soco. My dad is a little bit of a clean freak and had a few complaints (stain on sheets in bed, inch of dust on ceiling fan) but I personally had no complaints. One of the air mattresses has a hole in it but there were several backups so this wasn't an issue. Overall I had a good experience. "
4516994,24505325,2014-12-29,23428366,Kevin,"Due to a glitch with airbnb we failed to be able to access the house rules. Jes and Katherine were very helpful with making sure we had all of the info we needed. The apartment is in a great location and fairly quiet. For us it was a much needed, relaxing weekend. "
4516994,25294261,2015-01-11,6866795,Eduardo,Katharine and Jes have a pretty cozy place that was easy to feel at home in. The place is pretty spacy and with a great location. They were VERY attentive to us and provided everything as promised. Great hosts! Would stay again.
4516994,27032439,2015-02-23,22970347,Kristi,"You are pretty much paying for the location- which was great! The bus stop is literally across the street and is $1.25 right to the center of South Congress. We walked in and out of town several times and it wasn't bad at all. Keep in mind that you are paying to stay in someone's home- so all of her belongings were cluttered about the apartment. If you are looking for a hotel feel- this probably is not the place for you. It seems as though she may have left in a hurry, as the cleanliness and preparation of the apartment was not what we expected (trash in trashcans, etc). There's no cleaning fee so maybe that's why? The location is definitely great, and she has two apple TVs and Netflix, Hulu, etc which was great for some rainy nights!  She was kind enough to let us stay very late on the last day since we had an evening flight! "
4516994,29749441,2015-04-12,4423208,Jeanette,"The word ""luxury"" should be removed from the description of the apartment.  Nothing luxury about it.  One chair had major stains and some of the wooden furniture was badly scratched.  The apartment was cluttered and although the carpet looked vacuumed, the rest of the apartment was not the cleanest.  Needed better instructions on how to use the TV and other media available, and where to find the towels (in a plastic bag behind a living room chair).  The description indicated it sleeps 5.  Don't know where the 5 people would fit in a one bedroom apartment.   The one queen bed had a plastic mattress cover that was creepy to sleep on."
8596056,51412156,2015-10-19,7596636,Jack,Great experience; Rick was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and accessible. Strongly recommend. 
8596056,52251064,2015-10-27,6251311,Ian,"Rick's place is within a quiet neighborhood which is close by to many amenities (Academy, Walmart, petrol kiosk, food chains) and it is only 10 mins drive away from downtown. 
A great owner who provided instant replies to my impromptu questions. Rick respected our privacy, at the same time invited us to join them for dinner during one of the stormy night.

Recommend Rick's place if you are headed south of Austin and want to be near downtown. 
"
8596056,53012023,2015-11-03,9956336,Zach,"Great place, extremely clean and organized. Perfect location for those who want a quiet neighborhood but a very short ride to city center. Overall a great stay."
7402917,43138084,2015-08-17,28626125,Haian,"Newly established AirBnB set-up that's still working out the kinks. Didn't have any problems while staying though. Not close to many restaurants, but right on the palm-tree lined river so that's certainly a plus."
7402917,44572058,2015-08-27,39601266,Ruby-Ann,Edward doesn't actually live in the apartment but his room mate travis does and is literally one of the nicest people I have met. The accommodation is very similar to a hostel just so much cheaper on price. It's in a good location on the lake and I was able to walk to all the areas I wanted to visit. There are some good food places so close buy that make it even easier. However it was two people that were there that made it even more enjoyable as they were all so friendly and welcoming. I would defiantly recommend. 
7402917,45198803,2015-08-31,34806048,王,"nice house, nice guys and easygoing. i like it!"
7402917,45908499,2015-09-06,43119417,Karen,"My stay here was really good, the apartment was nice and the atmosphere was great by the people that were there. I didn't meet Edward but I met his room mate Travis who lives there and was a good host, friendly, welcoming, easy to contact and knew about the area and different places to go.
The apartment is how it is described and showed in the listing, it is dorm style like in a hostel but that worked fine and everyone respects the rules.
I didn't spend much time around the neighborhood but seemed okay with a couple places to eat. But it is easy to get to and from downtown once you find out what number bus you can get, as the bus stop is right outside the apartment blocks.
My stay here was enjoyable  he and I recommend staying at this listing."
7402917,49238376,2015-10-02,9594050,Pierre,"Thanks, all worked fine to find the apartment. Good that I have printed the guidelines! With the great hospitallity by your friedTravis, it was an easy place to stay and have a seeing around in Austin."
7402917,50058842,2015-10-08,30011017,Callum,"Great location, room was as described, hostel meets home.

Edward's roommate was very accommodating and  attentive! 

Would recommend for solo travellers looking for a cheap and friendly night or two in Austin."
7402917,51226491,2015-10-18,42684214,Keri,"The location of this place is absolutely PERFECT. It is in an apartment complex that is right on the water with the Lady Bird Lake trail just outside. If you plan to spend time outside and want easy access to trails, the lake, and bus routes that get you around the city, I highly recommend staying here. The trail itself takes you to Congress Bridge, which is exactly 1.5 miles away. The setup is very similar to a hostel. I communicated with and met Travis, Edward's roommate, briefly. He was actually on his way out of town, so another friend of theirs was my host for my stay. He was incredibly nice, easy to communicate with, and gave great recommendations of where to go. I would say the only drawback is that there were a lot of people staying there, so it got cramped in there sometimes. But that means there is also a great opportunity to make new friends!"
7402917,51420030,2015-10-19,46800308,Thomas,The bunk bed (stepbrothers anyone?!) was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood has an awesome dock and solid bars/restaurants. They even had space for a buddy of mine that got stranded at the airport later that night. It was just a low key low maintenance apartment with some cool and kind people. Great for the price!
7402917,51668745,2015-10-22,46549632,Trenton,Great location and could walk right downtown easily! Great value and friendly host.
7402917,52193553,2015-10-26,32073517,David,"Solid hostel-type Airbnb. Friendly guys running it. Easy to get to anything you want to do in Austin. Lots of parking in the apartment complex. Nice and cheap, no need to be fancy."
7898967,45740688,2015-09-05,42923238,Ned,"Ray and Brittney were very nice and communicative. My stay was great. The apartment was quite clean. What you see is what you get: it's a studio apartment in the Domain. If you park in the building garage, you can see where you park from the room which is handy if you're paranoid about your car. The only complaint is that the room is right above the pool area which can get a little loud if a bunch of people are hanging out there. Overall, it's a nice room for a great price. I recommend this apartment and I would stay there again."
7898967,46204916,2015-09-08,2022124,Marina,"We had a great experience with Ray and Brittney! They were the  friendliest and most responsive of hosts, anwering our queries promptly and generously, working with our slightly tricky schedule, making us feel welcome at every step. Their apartment is modern, clean, perfectly well equipped for a stay, and within ready distance of the downtown. "
7898967,47107034,2015-09-15,37363898,Jennifer,"Great location. Apartment is nice, was a studio/efficiency but decent amount of room. The salt water pool was very relaxing. Walking distance of great places to eat & shops. The hosts were very responsive and helped out as much as possible. We did run into an issue with the key not being available at the agreed upon time and had to wait several hours to get access as the codes that were provided were incorrect as well. The host apologized and tried to be as helpful as possible given the situation. Besides about four hours of frustration and wandering around trying to locate the apartment and gain access the rest of the time was great! I would recommend it! "
7898967,49632120,2015-10-05,35602365,Sarah,"Ray and Brittney are friendly and quickly responded to all questions we had which was fantastic.  The apartment was clean and had a lovely ""home-like"" feel.  The Domain area was really nice and very modern - I felt very safe the entire time there so this would be a great spot for those travelling alone.  Although during my visit I didn't really use them, there are many shops and restaurants around The Domain that are easily accessible.  I really enjoyed my time here!"
7898967,50642512,2015-10-13,477658,Cain,"Although there's a good deal of construction around The Domain, Brittney & Ray's apartment is a nice relaxing space with a full kitchen and comfortable bed. While the apartment itself doesn't have wi-fi, you can easily connect to the nearby pool or use the Apple TV. Oh, and checking in couldn't have been any easier despite a small hiccup that was more attributable to my own error at following instructions than anything wrong with the hosts. "
7898967,51308464,2015-10-19,6186793,David,"I would absolutely recommend Ray & Brittney's Austin Domain apartment.  Despite living in another state, they were incredibly responsive.  The apartment was clean and cozy, and the nearby amenities (gym, pool, Domain shopping center) are top notch. "
6460616,37095446,2015-07-04,36237689,Samantha,"Great location, apt was cozy, the only downside was the parking, but I understand it's carport parking but besides that no complaints here.  Loved that the pool was right out the front door."
6460616,37498845,2015-07-07,35930115,Sam,Sophie made the whole process very easy for us.  The place was clean and everything we needed was readily available.  Also the pool was a big plus.  The neighborhood was nice and not too far from downtown.  
6460616,37816835,2015-07-10,37732501,Christine,Great spot! Nice and clean!
6460616,39042300,2015-07-20,35802173,Sabine,Comfortable Stay. Convenient location. Hyde Park is a cute area.
6460616,39197185,2015-07-21,35802173,Sabine,Nice Apartment. Very convenient to downtown.
6460616,39799692,2015-07-26,3311465,Rachel,Sophie's places was just wonderful! Even though she was out of town everything was so smooth upon arrival. She had a friend to help out if we needed anything at all. Her place is so lovely and right in one of the most historic neighborhoods in Austin. I highly recommend staying as a guest of sophie's! Thank you Sophie for opening your place up to us!!! We must appreciate it!

541814,3774354,2013-03-13,5077657,Dominique,"My time in ATX was very comfortable & enjoyable. The Karna Family are great hosts & went out of their way to be extra accommodating. Austin is a world class city with great food, great customer service, clean buses, affordable options for everything. I was very pleased! The room & bathroom I used were both top notch! Would definitely come back again in a heartbeat. Cheers!"
541814,10923935,2014-03-13,2305862,Peter And Uchechi,"We have been batting 1000 lately with hosts. Sajni took great care of us, the bed was amazingly comfy, super clean house, and she charges such a reasonable rate. An excellent choice if you have a car. "
541814,11406435,2014-04-01,5330854,Veronica,"My experience was GREAT!!! I just have positive and very good impressions. My hosts were very kind, very helpful, really sweet. I went for a seminar and I knew there was a bus stop literally less than 1 minute away from their place, but it was not running the weekend, they were so kind and they drove me to the venue
I definitely recommend to stay at their place if you go to Austin, it's very close to a bus stop 111 don't run the weekends but 333 it does. Get 333 to go to downtown.
The neighborhood is very easy to walk, you can find restaurants and a whole food 20 minutes walk. Go to Austin, go to Sajni!!! :)
"
541814,11785562,2014-04-14,14140710,Andreas,It was a wonderful experience as Germans staying with them as they are so hospitably. And they gave us some very valuable hints what to look for.

Sajni and her husband made we welcome, and were helpful, pleasant but unobtrusive company.  I would go back any time I visit Austin."

I traveled to Austin for business and stayed 3 nights.  I arrived at 8pm, and she had extra food awaiting me in case I was hungry.  She's a very nice and wise person, and we exchanged some good stories about our times living in India and New York City.

Very relaxing and quiet room, private bathroom with double sinks, and really hot showers.  They even have extra toiletries (I forgot to pack my razor and toothbrush).  I would definitely stay here again.  "

The house is beautiful, the room very nice, the double sink bathroom very clean, big and with every thing you will need. (towels, toothpaste, blow dryer etc)

541814,40982868,2015-08-03,34375637,Alamgir,"Sajni and Shaym were great hosts. My husband and I were very touched by their hospitality, caring manner, and their sense of professionalism. Location wise, it is situated near state routes while the house is nestled in a quiet neighborhood. Amenities were ample for the two of us; we felt comfortable, welcomed and as hosts they appeared genuinely interested in meeting people. My husband loves fresh fruits and yogurt for breakfast, Sajni caught that in our conversation with her and the very next day we found papaya and yogurt on the breakfast table! We are honored to recommend Sajni's BnB."
541814,41904842,2015-08-09,29297127,Eric,Sajni and her husband are gracious hosts. It was a pleasure getting to know them. Sajni insisted on me having her fresh cut up fruit and muffins in the morning.  It was excellent.  Great location near the highways and shopping and close to Hamilton Pool Preserve which is why I rented.

Thanks for everything!!"
541814,47022305,2015-09-14,43932400,Brent,"I had a pleasant two night stay with Sajni and Shaym. They were so hospitable. They made sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. The room is down a hallway so it feels more private. You also have your own bathroom. They provide some hygiene products that you may have lost or forgotten (I needed shaving cream). Sajni prepared a light breakfast of fresh fruit, pastries, and tea each morning. The room was a bit warm at night, but the bedside fan that helped with this. I greatly enjoyed my conversations with Sajni about her experiences both in India and in the US. I'm glad I decided to stay here instead of in a hotel."

Once we were there, they were very hospitable and even had cake and coffee for us! The bathroom and room very clean and they provided small toiletries invade we forgot anything. Wonderful couple! The only small complaint we had was the temperature of the house and in the room we were staying in, but they did leave us a fan by the bed to make us more comfortable. "
541814,51145345,2015-10-18,18399272,David,"I really enjoyed staying at Sajni's home.  She and her husband are very nice people and they made me feel extremely welcome.  Everyday they offered me breakfast, and we were helpful in giving me information about the area.  The house is clean and modern; the room is as described cozy.  They supplied toiletries, shampoo, etc, and even if they did not, there is a shopping center close by.

Its is warm and welcoming.  Great location and super quite.  Even when i had a speed bump in my stay Noelle and brad showed true concern and went above what i expected to help me.  I 1000% recommend staying here when in Austin.  
153050,2745540,2012-10-29,694792,Kelley,I stayed at Noelle's house with my family and loved it! We were there for kids birthday and it worked out perfectly with so many great amenities geared towards kids with the cool backyard and play room. The adults loved it too especially the awesome master suite and bathroom! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone coming to Austin.

153050,2925545,2012-11-20,2698154,Pete,A very nice home in a quiet neighborhood. The owner was accommodating and pleasant to deal with. We were a group of 6 and everyone enjoyed their stay.  I would rent there again.

chicken in the backyard which never have realysed. Kitchen
with all accessories you need. Close into town. Local train just
close by, but far enough not to hear it. Great shopping

Fantastic hosts. Care taking and perfect communication. 

We had an awesome time. Definitely would like to come back. 
Thank you sooooo much for the trust and chance to spend
some quality time in your house."
153050,4163941,2013-04-15,185367,Mindy,"My girlfriends and I needed a place to stay for a girl's weekend in Austin.  Noelle was so friendly and helpful from day one, and the house was absolutely gorgeous!  We had plenty of room for 7 girls to sleep comfortably, and we had a lovely time sitting in their peaceful backyard and chatting.  The CapMetro Rail stop is a short walk away, so we didn't have to drive anywhere all weekend.  I couldn't recommend this place highly enough!  We had such a wonderful time and working with Noelle & Brad couldn't have been easier.  "
153050,4253833,2013-04-22,5676526,Cari,"Wonderful hosts!  Charming home...just a great experience!  Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

153050,6629612,2013-08-19,4031153,Thomas,"We had a great time at Noelle's place. 12 of us (6 couples) stayed for two nights with no issues, and really enjoyed the cozy premises. 
Noelle was a great host and was available to answer any questions we had. "
153050,8110657,2013-10-16,7501409,Teresa,"Our company contacted Noelle to host our staff that was working Austin City Limits 2013.  The house was beautiful and represented even better in person!  Noelle was amazing and over-the-top helpful in situating our staff and meeting all of our needs.  They all had an amazing time.  We are so very thankful.

"
153050,8364970,2013-10-28,7677972,Danielle,Noelle was a great host.  The house is adorable and very clean.  We had 6 adults and several children and it was plenty of room.  The kids loved the chickens!  One of my nieces left her wallet and Noelle mailed it to us the next day.  Very accommodating!  The Otts went above and beyond to make sure our stay was pleasant.
153050,8684876,2013-11-12,1542457,Michael,"What a wonderful, spacious, comfortable home.  We hosted a reunion of 8 college alums at Noelle's home over a long weekend, and couldn't have enjoyed it more.  Well appointed kitchen, comfy beds everywhere, huge TV to sneak in a football game or movie, great backyard just to chill in (and watch the chickens).  Noelle gave us great recs on nearby foodie hotspots (grab a meal at Uchiko if you can) - and there's a local craft brewpub within walking distance.  If you're looking for a great spot for a group in Austin - this is your place.  Thanks to Noelle and Brad for inviting us into their home!  "
153050,8812064,2013-11-19,7679731,James,"The house was great, I stayed for the formula 1 weekend and the location was convenient to getting to and from anywhere our group had wanted to go in Austin.  "
153050,9051009,2013-12-03,3727409,Norman,Noelle's house is very comfortable and livable.  We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed showing our young grandchildren the chickens.  Would stay again.
153050,9828480,2014-01-13,10112860,Jeff,"Oh my goodness.  What a lovely place this is to stay in Austin!  Brad and Noelle are so accommodating.  We were blown away at every detail.  We brought 10 friends to ATX for a fabulous weekend stay.  Brad and Noelle were so flexible, working around our scheduling, and provided all the creature comforts of home.  Believe the pictures y'all, this place is all that is shown and then some.  Make some pizzas, sit on the back porch and watch the day go by, go play in Austin, cook on a beautiful Viking stove... I could go on all day. "
153050,9956968,2014-01-21,7708189,Annie,"We were in town for the weekend of 3M Half Marathon and just needed a place for 2 nights.  Noelle & Brad seriously have the cutest house that i've ever stepped foot in!  The decor is so fun which made us enjoy just spending time at their home instead of getting out.  We had big plans to go out to a nice dinner the last evening we were there, but instead took advantage of a great pizza joint right around the corner and stayed in.  We have a 2 year old and she really enjoyed ""talking"" to the chickens and LOVED the play room.  We would definitely refer friends to stay here and might make it a tradition to come back once a year.  The location was perfect.  We had fun taking Lamar Street into downtown each day to check out all the fun shops in between as well.  Thanks for offering your home!  We'll be back!"
153050,10038182,2014-01-27,10786885,Allison,"Noelle's place was such a wonderful little gem! I was hosting a girls weekend in Austin and was looking for a place to stay for about 10 girls where we could cook at home and play games and generally just visit. This place was perfect. It had plenty of sleeping areas, large gathering spaces and the chicken coop was such an adventure for all the girls. Small groups of girls made frequent trips out to watch the chickens, it was a real novelty for us city girls! It was conveniently located to all the activities we planned and easy to find. This was my first time using airbnb and I asked a ton of questions. Brad and Noelle were so patient, accomodating and quick to get back to me. I highly recommend this place. It was perfect!"
153050,10145771,2014-02-03,4291169,Lauren,Noelle and Brad have a great house.  It feels like you are living in an Anthropologie catalog.  They were both extremely friendly and easy to contact.  Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!
153050,10446861,2014-02-19,7534951,Whitney,"Noelle and Brad's home is absolutely lovely.  They were fabulous hosts--amazing communication, friendly and open. Their house is not only in perfect condition, but is as beautiful as a magazine shoot.  Brad even recommended some amazing restaurants that made our trip even better! I hope to be able to stay in their home again the next time I'm in Austin.    "
153050,11043262,2014-03-18,708527,Curt Simon,"Again, we spend 10 days while SXSW at Noelles and Brads place and we highly recommend this treasure of living for all families and smaller groups. This is far the best place we can imaging and Family Otts were care taking, relaxed, highly supportive and just lovely. 

The house is an oasis for traveller. You can work and live everywhere. In the amazing garden with chicken and a real wood oven or a several table all of the place. 

A tram station is right around the corner (5 min walking distance) and all relevant shops (target, spec's and co.) are not far. We will be back, for sure :)"
153050,11528945,2014-04-07,10409454,Jordan,Loved staying at this home in Austin. It made my bachelorette party that much more memorable. Thanks for having us!

The house was quirky and my coworker thats stay talked very highly about comfort and great location of the house. Im glad I could put my coworkers in this sweet little house instead of a hotel (where prices were outrageous and nothing like a home away from home)!

Thanks for your hospitality!"
153050,13060670,2014-05-19,10240452,Elise,Brad and Noelle were amazing hosts.  They were quick in answering all of our questions and gave great dining recommendations.

153050,13989773,2014-06-09,6258820,Juan,"Attended XGames and acted like idiots on 6th street for the weekend. 6th street is an uncomplicated and short 10-15 min drive and while CotA is a bit further out (@25 mins), it was not that bad. 

The house was beautiful. Everything was in its place and 10 people slept comfortably. Owners were easy to deal with. "

They made the process easy start to finish and went above and beyond to answer questions and provide recommendations.  Convenient location for getting around.  Their house is lovely (if we could've taken their kitchen with us we would have).  It felt just like home, and our kids wanted to stay longer they liked it so much.  We'll definitely try to stay again next time we're in town."
153050,26617092,2015-02-16,26426712,Melinda,"Beautiful house, clean & comfortable. All 6 of us enjoyed our stay. Perfect location for all that we needed to do. Austin is an amazing city & we will be back!"
153050,28382011,2015-03-23,708527,Curt Simon,"Again and again, we had another great SXSW at the wonderful place. Noelle and Brad are amazing hosts, care taking, empathic and great in communication and support. Thank you sooo much for letting us stay again at your place for SXSW. You rock !"
153050,30285814,2015-04-20,1615948,Randall,We had a nice time at Noelle and Brad's home. It was great for a large group and in a good central location. Brad was very accessible via texts for general questions during our stay. Thanks!
153050,33075652,2015-05-25,19753997,Stacy,This home was perfect for my family of 10! We stayed in the house over graduation weekend. The home was exactly as pictured in the photos. Noelle and Brad were quick to reach via text message and were amazing hosts. Thank you for your generosity! :) 
153050,36557627,2015-06-29,12921366,Tyler,Brad and Noelle's home was a great place for the 10 of us NOLA folk to call home for a weekend in Austin. The house is about 20 minutes drive from downtown area! 
153050,37369055,2015-07-06,6807698,Daniel,The house was perfect for my family of 11. Great atmosphere and very roomy. Noelle was very easy to communicate with and responded to questions lightning fast. Would absolutely stay again. 
153050,39992294,2015-07-27,2445755,Katie,A few of my girl friends and I stayed here for a fun girls weekend. We absolutely loved this cute house. It was just like all the adorable pictures on their website and felt just so welcoming. There was also plenty of space with the open floor plan and rooms for all the girls to sleep on a bed. There were 9 of us. The adorable farmhouse table in the dining room was perfect for our group. The day we arrived we found a cute manual with all the information we needed for our stay at their home and with some recommendations and wifi password. The neighborhood was in a great location in Austin and close to all the activities we had planned out. I would definitely stay here again with a group if I make it out to Austin again. 
153050,46131032,2015-09-08,7706086,Kaitlin,"We weren't too sure about the neighborhood, but once we were inside, nothing mattered! This home is so beautifully decorated, we didn't want to leave. Everyone had a great time celebrating my 30th birthday in Austin!"
153050,47965129,2015-09-22,1300069,Kim,"What an amazing weekend with family at this house.  Ten of my family members came from all parts of the country to Austin for the wedding of my niece.  The house was great, spacious and comfortable.   The pizza oven out back was a real treat.  Noelle & Brad were fantastic...responsive, helpful & felt like extended family.  Brad came over and showed us how to use the oven and we had a fantastic time.  "
153050,48766604,2015-09-28,40027254,Amber,"The Otts family were great communicators, easy to get a hold of and lightning quick responses. Their home is unique, charming, and cozy. Loved the screened in patio and rocking chairs, outdoor bistro lights, and dining table. Awesome location. I had to go to the emergency room Saturday (which changed ALL my bachelorette weekend plans), and the Otts were great in giving us the OK to rent a movie (Bridesmaids ) so my gals could have something to do.
Thank you!"
153050,50639278,2015-10-13,24583457,Kristin,"Noelle and Brad were SO wonderful! From the second we arrived, to anything we needed throughout our stay, they were both gracious and available. Very quick to respond via text and at the house within a few minutes when we needed. We stayed for ACL weekend for a bachelorette party. The location was perfect for us, close enough to downtown (about a 12min car ride), and nice escape from the craziness at the end of our days. Their home is eclectic, warm, comfortable, and exactly like the photos. Plenty of room for our large group. A lot of personal touches make this home special. We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you so much Noelle & Brad! Cant wait to make a return visit in the future :)"
153050,52092211,2015-10-26,282122,Samantha,"Noelle and Brad were wonderful hosts. They offered to walk us through the house on our first night but we declined due to getting in late.  Luckily they had a binder of information about the house and house rules that we could find as we came in - they even gave recommendations for places to go and things to do in the area :)

The house is gorgeous and very special.  You can tell a lot of time, care and talent went into decorating it and it seemed like a much more personal and cosy place to stay for a group trip than a hotel
I ended up renting it for a bachelorette party and I think everyone was impressed with the spaciousness, decorating, comfort of beds for everyone (!), and 10 minute drive to anywhere we wanted to go downtown :)"
2409435,10893491,2014-03-11,653356,Austin,"Such an amazing place, and Adrienne couldn't have been nicer. Thanks for everything, guys - hope to see you down in Austin again!"
2409435,11386083,2014-03-31,13506836,John,Adrienne and Shane were great hosts! The place was more than we could ask for with a location close to everything. Thank you again to both of you as your place made for a great time in Austin.
2409435,12468588,2014-05-03,8330707,Victoria,Adrienne & Shane were great hosts & their home was absolutely beautiful. Their efforts in making our stay clean & inviting were not unnoticed. Very helpful with suggestions around Austin. We are absolutely staying with them for our next trip out there!! 10 stars!
2409435,27991479,2015-03-16,2761066,Sylvie,"The apartment was very tastefully decorated, felt personal, cozy and comfortable. It was spotless: no dust, bleached bathrooms, clean sheets and clean towels. Personal items were removed from the closet. The kitchen was well equipped and also very clean, they had a great expresso maker ready to go. The hosts were fantastic all documentation was accurate to get to and in the apartment, they were responsive to questions such as bike share, and left for us welcome kit which was greatly appreciated, in addition they left wine for us to purchase. Overall a perfect stay in Austin, best rental experience so far, the price was worth it during SXSW. The appartement is located in a very pretty neighborhood close to downtown. "
5651185,28153010,2015-03-18,6763461,Ryan,"This was our first airbnb trip, and we were so lucky to have such kind, welcoming, awesome hosts. Thyra and David are very accommodating and definitely prioritize their guests comfort. The bedroom is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and left us wanting for nothing. The rest of the house is very conducive to relaxing, and it was a pleasure spending time with Thyra and David-- they definitely added to our trip. The neighborhood is very nice-- lots of space between houses, lots of greenery, and it definitely feels very safe. We would absolutely recommend staying here and would do so again if given the chance! You will be staying with open, honest, and caring people who have amazing stories from their world travels."

As a first time user of this sevice I was a little nervous, but, after Thyra's warm welcome I felt comfortable and at ease right away.  Thyra and David are wonderful people and great hosts!  They are so considerate and kind.  Their home is in a very safe and quiet area away from all the craziness of the city.  Everything was immacutlate and better than described.  All the thoughtful amenities they provide are an absolute treat!  Their home was a beautiful place to rest and recover after a long night out.  Thank you both for a wonderful experience!  "
5651185,30268024,2015-04-19,30056288,Alex,"This was my first experience with AirBnB and I must say Thyra and David made my trip truly awesome. They were both super friendly and available to us to answer any questions we had throughout the weekend. Would stay here again in a heart beat! Their home was gorgeous and very inviting. They also have the coolest dog, Watson. Kitties were super sweet and were hiding most of the time with the exception of one that liked to be petted from time to time. Thank you so much for everything! Can't wait to do it again! :)"
5651185,30323689,2015-04-20,30056288,Alex,Left my review with our previous last minute booking. Everything was great! Thyra and David were amazing :)
5651185,31357873,2015-05-04,29416250,Rachel,"They made us feel very welcome and gave great advice on things to do in the area. Our stay was very peaceful, relaxing. My boyfriend and I enjoyed having a bottle of wine on the back porch and watching the stars."
5651185,33021903,2015-05-24,14812246,Kim,"Thyra and David are wonderful hosts. They very much made us feel at home!! Thyra even sent a text message the night we checked out worried about us camping in the terrible storm and inviting us to come back to stay the night. They are both just good people. 

Thanks for sharing your home and introducing us to European Muesli. We bought 2 boxes from HEB before heading out :) 

"
5651185,34462338,2015-06-08,22642735,Pat,"Thyra and David were really nice, we didn't have to much time to chat since we only stayed for a night but the good vive and the comfort of their home was noticeable as soon as you walk in.  As they promised the community is really calm and relax, a truly country environment that allows you to enjoy the sound of the nature. "
5651185,35243465,2015-06-16,33812301,Tim,David greeted me as I pulled up in the driveway and showed me to my room. He made me fell right at home. We had a great conversation after breakfast the next morning. I would stay here again.
5651185,36048872,2015-06-24,33426970,Emma Elisabeth,"We really enjoyed staying with Thyra and David. They provided everything we needed and more. The room was very clean and nicely decorated, and even had a door to the deck outside. We would love to come back and visit, especially to see our little buddy Watson again. :)"
240541,940243,2012-02-21,398018,Karina,"The birdhouse is super tiny. Not a problem since we're from Manhattan and used to little spaces, but my boyfriend was too tall to use the bathroom with the door closed, haha! The place is in a great location and we really enjoyed our stay."
240541,1018001,2012-03-19,1638964,Camila,"We loved the birdhouse!  Elizabeth and James were great hosts and the location was perfect for easily getting downtown to experience Austin.  If we're lucky, we'll be back next year!  "
240541,7858155,2013-10-06,8937679,Philip,"The Birdhouse was the perfect size for me and my traveling friend and in a convenient and great location for getting around downtown/south/east Austin. Elizabeth was the most sincere, friendly and accommodating person to rent from.  She went out of her way to offer info, suggestions and even a ride if we needed it!  I strongly recommend checking availability with her if you are ever in Austin.  I know I will when I come back!"
240541,8024834,2013-10-13,1801888,Katie,"The birdhouse was the perfect launching pad for our adventure weekend in Austin! We were able to walk to all points in the city from there - SoCo, Rainey St., and our favorite, East 6th St. I'd love to move to the birdhouse neighborhood someday - quaint, quiet and funky and near lots of cafe and bar treasures! 

Definitely recommend staying at the birdhouse to those that are looking to spend more time exploring than cooped up at an AirBNB - it is all 1 or 2 people need with no frills (think futon, AC unit, small bathroom, toaster oven - see, all you need)! Very good value.

Elizabeth was also one of the most generous hosts I've ever experienced with AirBNB in that she helped us out with a place to stay when we stayed an extra night in Austin and was awesome with communicating before we arrived and helping when we were there. It's hosts like her that make AirBNB so magical. Thank you Elizabeth!"
240541,8464837,2013-11-01,8964033,Zebadiah,"The Birdhouse is a very cozy and pleasant place to stay at, with easy access to downtown, I-35, trendy parts of East Austin, and other conveniences.

Elizabeth and her husband are very accommodating and helpful, easy-going, and give the resident plenty of privacy.
10/10, would recommend.  "
240541,10921600,2014-03-13,1529274,Sue,"I booked the Birdhouse for a colleague travelling from Australia for SXSW - the photos looked like the perfect setting for an Austin first-time experience.

My colleague was thrilled - and Elizabeth was a great host.

Thanks so much for helping us out!"
240541,11730616,2014-04-13,10573065,Tammy,"""The Birdhouse"" is an adorable little place to call home for a few days! Loved the funky cool neighborhood... close to several cool markets, coffee shops, bars & restaurants and easy access to all the fun on 6th Street. Elizabeth was so nice! She was very responsive to anything I needed... a lovely host!"
240541,11924695,2014-04-19,13215983,Damian,Elizabeth was a wonderful host.  She was very accessible and responsive whenever we needed anything.  The location is a 20-minute drive from the airport and 5-minute drive to the heart of downtown Austin.    
240541,11962742,2014-04-20,6409290,Mo,"My boyfriend and I found this place really clean and convenient for a short stay. The neighborhood is really quiet with a great vibe and it's walking distance to pretty much anything in Austin. We really enjoyed the privacy of the birdhouse and it was pretty easy to coordinate with Elizabeth! Definitely would stay here again. But, my boyfriend would like to point out that if you're taller than 5'11, it might be difficult to navigate the bathroom. (I'm pretty short, so no complaints here!)"
240541,12287559,2014-04-28,13381468,Christopher,"Nice place, with a great private entrance to the birdhouse.  Takes twenty minutes to walk downtown, or catch the 17 bus on Cesar Chavez and you're there in 5.  Thanks Elizabeth.  Made my conference experience easy."
240541,12797191,2014-05-11,1839576,Sean,"Nice location in East Austin, and Elizabeth was a great host.  "
240541,12903517,2014-05-13,14891879,Katie,"Very painless experience!  We had a nice quiet stay at the birdhouse, in a really cool neighborhood.  Elizabeth was easy to get a hold of and quick to help with any questions.  Highly recommended if you're looking for a small, private space. "
240541,13038979,2014-05-18,12422543,Everett,"Elizabeth, her neighbourhood and the Birdhouse were really really wonderful.
The Birdhouse is clean and quaint with enough room for two people and full on travel luggage. The Neighbourhood was yuppie-free and close to bike rentals, killer food and bars, but far enough away to sleep easy in a quiet neighbourhood.

Make no mistake, the Birdhouse is about the same size as your average hotel room in Japan and small by American standards but with enough room to sleep well and relax a bit and tour around Austin.

Two blocks away from the Birdhouse sits a small gas station / corner store which i found Elizabeth to be a bit fanatical about; and i understood why. The staff there is super nice and it is a snob free craft brew heaven that also sells locally made pickled asparagus and has a broken mirror mural of Ghandi on the side.

The whole experience in and around the Birdhouse is basically like what would happen if Mexicans and NPR listeners started it's own tiny country complete with hotels and farmers markets and piñata stores and a serious BBQ culture."
240541,13121426,2014-05-19,6999029,Kelly,Perfect little spot! Close to everything. Elizabeth was super sweet and welcoming. Quick to respond and assist with my last min reservation.
240541,13427410,2014-05-27,418506,Gail,"The Birdhouse is in a fantastic location, we walked to amazing tacos, bars and coffee shops. Elizabeth was super responsive and stocked the Birdhouse with anything you could need. Maybe we'll actually cross paths on our next stay!"
240541,13876792,2014-06-07,13814462,Jesse,"The bird house is a great little getaway in a great location, and Elizabeth is a wonderful, communicative host. I highly recommend!"
240541,14215493,2014-06-14,16673047,Kyle,"I had a great time in Austin and it was by large due to Elizabeth.  First off, my boyfriend and I were driving from San Antonio and last minute she was able to accommodate our stay. The Birdhouse was clean,  cozy and very private but most notably in a quiet, safe,  and convenient neighborhood in East Austin. During our stay there was a tornado warning and Elizabeth was the first to inform us and even offered us space in her home if we were uncomfortable in the birdhouse. The only regret I have is not meeting her dogs sooner during our stay! This is a great spot for a couple or solo traveler tucked away in a tree lined neighborhood yet still within walking distance to all that Austin has to offer."
240541,14296686,2014-06-16,2733378,Mike,"Didn't meet Elizabeth, but she was very communicative via text. Birdhouse was easy to find and Elizabeth left us a key to get in. 

Pros: convenient to East Austin; Mr. Natural only a couple blocks away; plenty of Car2Gos in neighborhood; Oskar Blues in fridge; small space decent for our only need - somewhere to sleep on East side for two nights.

Cons: Didn't like entering through alley - especially at night and after a massive rainfall that made it a bit messy; looks more quaint in photos - could use more interior decor; only one bath towel for two people; $25 cleaning fee seemed a bit much for such a small place in which we only slept - not best deal for $90 a night total.

In the end, it served it's purpose and it proved to be very convenient for a short visit back to our former home town, which is changing so much."
240541,14583493,2014-06-22,11104046,Liz,"It was totally cute and perfect for us. It is super tiny, especially the bathroom, but I was expecting that and we didn't mind the intimate experience for our anniversary celebration. The hosting was just what we needed and no more. Great overall!"
240541,14973656,2014-06-30,11213358,Matthew,"Elizabeth is very responsive and the Birdhouse is a great, cozy bungalow in the heart of one of Austin's coolest neighborhoods."
240541,15324814,2014-07-07,15650895,Gregoria,"Cozy little place close to a lot of cool bars and food trucks. Never met Elizabeth, but she was really nice over text. "
240541,17908838,2014-08-18,19872507,Casey Leanne,"The Birdhouse was so cute, and it was in a great location. The little cottage is just as charming in person as in the photo. Not pictured are a few Adirondack chairs, perfect for morning garden coffee sipping. Elizabeth was an excellent host and provided everything we needed from a surprise coffee maker left on the back steps for our use, to suggestions for fun weekend activities around town. I would definitely stay here again, and hope future AirBnB experiences are just as relaxed and easy."
240541,18097834,2014-08-21,20084560,Mickael,"Definitely a cool and mellow location. Walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars without feeling like you're stuck in the middle of a bunch of people.
The space is definitely small but that was described in the listing. Entry is through a gate in the alley so you have to park on the street out front but that wasn't a big deal once we got our backpacks inside. A/C works great! 
Overall, great spot to stay and the offer of bike usage was appreciated!"
240541,18378816,2014-08-25,3190852,Marcos,"Its a quaint little shack, very simple but more than enough for an overnight stay with a friend. Elizabeth was very helpful through messaging. The neighborhood is quiet, gentrifying East Austin but nice and full of character. Would stay again. "
240541,20324671,2014-09-27,21762925,Ben,"Elizabeth was very friendly and helpful. She was quick to respond to messages. The description is accurate, the space is very small but the essentials are there. There were two of us and just there for the night so the space was no issue. There are plenty of places to walk to within a mile or two. We had a nice time. "
240541,20506884,2014-09-30,566643,Alex,"Had a great weekend stay in the birdhouse - very cute and tidy, and close to a lot of fun stuff in east Austin. Elizabeth was communicative and easy to reach which made for a really pleasant experience overall. Thanks again!"
240541,20823336,2014-10-06,19136712,Joseph,"My wife and I stayed two days at the Birdhouse and it was exactly as described. As described, it is small but easily enough room for a couple. Elizabeth was very responsive and texted me to see if I needed anything while we were staying there. 

I would definitely stay here again. The neighborhood was great and within walking distance of multiple food trucks and bars. It was also easy to get to downtown by bus or by walking (we did both)."
240541,21129166,2014-10-12,5477593,Gin,Great place. Clean and had some nice extra amenities.  I would definitely recommend!
240541,21483507,2014-10-18,1974654,Sarah And Maggie,"If you want to stay in East Austin, the birdhouse is a great spot.  It's walking distance to all the cool bars and foodtrucks and a very short drive to 6th St and South Congress (although we did walk from South Congress one night).

Elizabeth was a great host... we only met her briefly when we checked in, but she was very welcoming and gave us suggestions of a few bars and restaurants nearby when we arrived. The birdhouse was just as described.  It's small, but we knew we wouldn't be spending much time there so it worked perfectly for my sister and I. There's a mini fridge, fan and AC unit that we used - also a hot plate and toaster oven, but there's so much good food in Austin that we didn't need them.  The Birdhouse has a private entrance around the back of the main house, and there's plenty of parking out front."
240541,21731970,2014-10-22,579414,Kati,"great place for two people to stay, just as described and with everything we needed. we got in quite late and Elizabeth was able to accommodate without issue. good temperature, comfy bed, wifi, and walking distance to a ton of great places for coffee, food, drinks. would stay again. thanks!"
240541,22358048,2014-11-04,4556756,Jordan,"Ideal location for one person to stay. Short walk to downtown or to the bus. It's also close to some nice east side bars on 6th street. It's definitely small but has everything you need. I didn't get a chance to meet Elizabeth, but the keys were left and I was able to check in immediately. I had a great trip and would stay here again, it was a huge  savings compared to hotels in the area."
240541,22692889,2014-11-12,16568647,Dustin,Awesome place in the perfect location!  Would stay again and recommend to friends!
240541,23138108,2014-11-23,5145539,Patrick,"Honestly, the birdhouse was not a great fit for us. We had a mixed experience, which I will try to summarize in a compliment sandwich!

First of all, Elizabeth was great. She was prompt and thorough with information. Check-in was super-easy, which made our itinerary flexible. 

The not so good: the back area (where the birdhouse is located) is a shared space with a rented RV. The renters over there were very loud, and we had a 7AM run to make the next morning. Adding to sleep woes were some insufficient window shade issues. By sunup, the sunlight was going directly into my eyeballs. Some smaller details could have made the stay a little bit better. The gate was quite difficult to open/close in the dark (get some WD-40 on that), and the backyard could use a bit of tidying. Between the mud from the rain and lawn obstacles, traversing the backyard after a couple of drinks might be considered annoying. Finally, the birdhouse, more or less, had expected amenities. However we ran out of paper towels and toiletries were present, but unlabeled. Small stuff.

More good: If you are looking to have a good time in the E. Austin/Rainey Street area, this place is the ticket. Nice neighborhood that is walkable to those area. The birdhouse itself, yes, is small, but adequate for two people. If a night out and sleeping in is on the agenda, I think it's a perfect fit."
240541,23531873,2014-12-03,3638953,Edbury,"Elizabeth was welcoming and proactive about making sure arrived safely from the airport and got situated okay. She was very accommodating and responsive!

The Birdhouse is completely charming. It's super cute and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. 

The temperature dipped into the high 30s while I was in Austin this time around. Even with the space heater off, I was cozy every night.

The location was incredibly convenient for both west and east side activities, especially if you're a cyclist. It's also located two blocks from Veracruz (the best tacos in Austin in my humble opinion) and Mr. Natural (a great stop for any vegetarians or vegans staying in ATX)."
240541,25891967,2015-01-28,26596194,Sarah,GREAT location! Near Salt & Time Restaurant and Whispers bar. Very very small space. We needed a place very late in the day and Elizabeth was quick to respond and accommodating. Got pretty chilly at night so luckily we were provided 2 space heaters. Bathroom is beyond tiny - it was like camping!
240541,26114435,2015-02-03,26507457,Christian,"the birdhouse was in a safe and convenient location. We had plenty of privacy in the birdhouse and Elizabeth was very accommodating. She even lent us her bikes to take out on the town for the duration of our stay. The only slight drawback was that sometimes it got to be a little too cold as the weather dipped down into the thirties. Although there are two space heaters in the bird house, we felt it may be unsafe to keep them running overnight. Overall the bird house was very quaint, convenient and budget friendly, especially if you are going to be in Austin for a few days and want a convenient location. Elizabeth also has 4 very friendly, sweet dogs who are a pleasure!"
240541,26256893,2015-02-08,25253051,Ruth,"We booked 4 nights in the birdhouse and would have to describe it as an average experience. 

Elizabeth is a responsive and kind host who was available whenever we needed her. The location is not far from 6th street nightlife. 

However we didn't feel that in comparison to other air BnB of the same cost that it provided the same standard / experience. The futon mattress is lumpy and uncomfortable and the white paper blinds on window's and patio doors were stuck with tape and didn't cover them entirely, so it was bright and not very private. 

It has good potential but to us it felt a bit neglected."
240541,26327887,2015-02-09,25562241,Rachel,"Our one night stay at the Birdhouse exactly fit our expectations. Check in was very simple, and the accommodations are exactly like the listing. The location is fantastic; so if you don't mind the small size, and want to be close to everything in the city, the Birdhouse is perfect for that. "
240541,26745466,2015-02-18,4666648,Brian,"Had an excellent time at the Birdhouse. Affordable, safe and close to everything. Elizabeth was very accommodating and available for any requests. It is definitely what real estate agents would call ""charming"" but for a 4 day trip like ours where you are trying to maximize your time out in the city, it was exactly what we needed. "
240541,26890212,2015-02-21,27362570,Autumn,"Elizabeth welcomed me when I arrived. She made sure the birdhouse was ready a little early because I was in Austin earlier. Upon arrival, she shoved me how the gates worked and gave quick suggestions. Other than that, she was pretty hands off but available if needed. 

The birdhouse is perfect for one person. It's small, but has all that you need. The location is great. It's a short walk from Town Lake where I took a lovely sunrise run.  it's also close to all the sixth street bars and restaurants. "
240541,26938409,2015-02-22,9348982,Roderick,Just as advertised.  Good communication.  The place was clean.  A bit overpriced for the size and location.
240541,27224016,2015-02-28,1276962,Gwen,It was perfect for a one night stay and convenient. It was cold though with the one little space heater.
240541,27651563,2015-03-09,2502636,Lorelei,"Elizabeth was great! We never actually met, but we appreciate how responsive she was. The room was ready early (which was great, because the trip from the airport was faster than we expected) and we had everything we could need. The location was perfect, and it was so nice to have a private space."
240541,27856281,2015-03-13,12702590,Martha,"Great little spot for my whirlwind Austin stay. Was in town four days and it was great to be in such a central location. Not ideal for long-term trips (small space, futon mattress was a lil lumpy) but The Birdhouse was perfect for me this time around. Bonus- Elizabeth's backyard was beautiful and full of morning doves and cute dogs. "
240541,28160857,2015-03-19,4784036,Belinda,"Very easy check in. Elizabeth even let us drop off our luggage early and gave us recommendations. The room is tight for two people, but it was the perfect location for SXSW."
240541,28286358,2015-03-21,29408033,Marie,The place is pretty tiny but everything was easy and the yard is great with the fire pit and hammock. 
240541,28974386,2015-04-01,1483017,Brian,"A lovely little cottage right in the heart of East Austin.  Delightfully close to coffee, bars, convenience stores, and all manner of good times.  I can't recommend it highly enough."
240541,29298864,2015-04-06,27675176,Alisia,"Elizabeth was super helpful with recommendations for my first time in Austin and made sure everything was ready and super easy to get settled.  The birdhouse, while quite small, is a good place for the price.  The neighborhood is perfect and my husband and I were able to walk everywhere!  She had clean towels folded and body wash which was nice.  

The downside was the futon bed and paper thin pillows which were not very comfortable and the space could use a little TLC."
240541,29322745,2015-04-06,30010986,Toni,The reservation was canceled 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

240541,29752259,2015-04-12,3311663,Cameron,"Elizabeth was friendly, responsive and helpful. I was in Austin for a quick stay without much down time, so the birdhouse was perfect. Everything was as advertised, there was ample parking, getting in an out was simple, and it was easy to get into the city. Definitely recommended."
240541,30154959,2015-04-18,30328151,Jeremy,I loved the location and the Birdhouse is perfect for one person!
240541,30607077,2015-04-25,413987,Andy,"This place is in a great location right by Mr Natural and a couple blocks from good coffee. Very quiet. Host was helpful via email. We got in super late and only stayed one night and graciously received permission to stay later the next day. 
The structure itself could use *lots* of TLC cleaning and sprucing - not much like the pics actually which was a bummer for the price. Basically with a little weekend warrior day's worth of polishing this place would be very cool. "
240541,30734447,2015-04-26,3084405,Jason,"We loved the Birdhouse! Super fun location in Austin, and worked just perfect for our quick one night stay. Thanks!"

It's located right in the heart of everything in East Austin. Keys and transactions went smoothly, and the accommodations were nice and clean. Though my schedule didn't allow me to meet Elizabeth, the Birdhouse is a great place to stay. I would book again if I find myself in Austin again."
240541,30907815,2015-04-28,4324554,Yutaka,"Elizabeth was an extremely responsive host, and her space is accurately depicted on the site.

I highly recommend it if all you need is a small space :)."
240541,31006336,2015-04-30,203363,Bryan,Very good spot. Great value--especially for short stay. I just needed a bed and shower. Much better than an anodyne hotel. 
240541,31888966,2015-05-11,29129218,Richelle,"The Birdhouse was perfect for our short stay in Austin. It is located within walking distance of several eateries, bars, etc, and a short bike ride or Uber to get down town. If you are low maintenance and are looking to spend most of your time exploring and just need a place to shower and sleep, The Birdhouse would be perfect for you, too! "
240541,31967647,2015-05-12,20066654,Dan,"The Birdhouse was a great place to stay the night after a long drive to get to Austin. The space was exactly as advertised, nice and compact but with everything we needed. Elizabeth was very responsive and gave some great recommendations for local places!"
240541,32153898,2015-05-14,33133839,Charles,Easy to work with.  Great communication and follow up on the details of the space.  Space is as described in listing and pictures.  Location is ideal for anyone needing to get to downtown.
240541,32509353,2015-05-19,29602499,Becky,"Elizabeth was great about communication, as we didn't see much of her on our stay, but was quick to respond to questions. The Birdhouse was in a great location, walking distance to bars and restaurants. My only complaint is the place could have been a bit tidier, needs a good deep cleaning. Overall a great deal for the price."
240541,32792717,2015-05-21,33463503,Sarah,"First off, Elizabeth was awesomely easy to get a hold of on the phone when technical difficulties impaired us from getting exact directions. We never met, but the key was in the door and everything was clean, easy, straightforward, and great. My only criticism is that the bathroom door is so close to the toilet that it's kind of intense to try and go with the door closed. But you're golden if you don't mind leaving it open!"
240541,32860402,2015-05-22,11947294,Kelsey,"Elizabeth is a phenomenal communicator, and made the booking and coordination super easy. Her space is ideally located, and has lots of potential. With a little sprucing up, it would be perfect!"
240541,32996320,2015-05-24,31625619,Stephanie,"Elizabeth had the place ready for us early, which was super helpful. We wanted to do our own thing, so it was nice that Elizabeth was hands off, but left a map of the area and a few local bar and restaurant suggestions on the desk. The place was definitely cozy, but a cute little spot for a quick weekend getaway."
240541,33263217,2015-05-26,9208465,Megan,"Cozy, simple place to stay while visiting Austin. Convenient and private location. The host was very accommodating and got us checked in a few hours early.  "
240541,33719488,2015-05-31,13747752,Charlie,"The birdhouse was great. The host, Elizabeth, was open and interesting to talk to, as were the other house guests she had during my stay. There were a few nights where we all stayed up sharing stories and drinks on the patio of the main house, which was probably the coolest part of the experience for me. Definitely check this place out!"
240541,34028453,2015-06-03,21375084,Alejandra,"The Birdhouse is fantastic! It has everything you need, with privacy, in a great neighborhood and at an affordable price. It is small but if you don't plan on staying in all day then it's perfectly fine. You can find great bars and restaurants, bike rentals and trails all within walking distance. There's also plenty of street parking if you're driving.

Elizabeth is a very responsive and helpful host. I was concerned about flooding in Austin/Central Texas ruining my plans but she was very reassuring. Sure enough the place was fine. She leaves maps and tips on where to go. She gives you plenty of space to just relax and do your own thing.

I would definitely recommend staying here if you like something low-key. East Austin is definitely a treat."
240541,34258524,2015-06-06,4931073,Michelle,"A quaint little guesthouse, perfect for our recent short stay! Great location, just a few blocks from 6th Ave. and in a charming neighborhood. Elizabeth was quick to respond to all questions and gave us the privacy we wanted. Would recommend this cozy place for couples checking out the Austin scene!"
240541,34700331,2015-06-11,24915743,Dalice,"Elizabeth was a great hostess!  She, her lovely pups and friends all welcomed so graciously. I loved the neighborhood (super close to lots of bars, restaurants, food trailers, etc).  I didn't spend more than $5 on a single uber ride because of the great location.   My only suggestion to future renters is to be aware of how hot it gets in the birdhouse.  The only time its bad is somewhere around 1-3pm, but if you're a go home and regroup person (like me), its a bit oppressive during that time of day.  Otherwise, I was really comfortable and happy with my accommodations.  Thanks Elizabeth!  "
240541,35225355,2015-06-16,30442569,Katie,"Booked to stay here for a long weekend.  When we arrived the first night, turned the lights on and a cockroach ran across the bed.  The inside looked like it had not been cleaned thoroughly for some time.  Including broken boards under the futon, the general condition of the Birdhouse was misrepresented by the pictures.  Lastly, the “curtains” on the doors/windows were thin paper taped on with scotch tape, so we didn't feel like there was a ton of privacy.

Unfortunately, after the first night we packed up and left.  Elizabeth was very apologetic and understanding of the situation and refunded us immediately. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the experience, but we weren’t happy with the condition of the house.  Only writing this review to warn others as we researched extensively and didn’t find anything negative hinting at the experience we had.
"
240541,35869625,2015-06-22,13394368,Ashley,This was a great place to sleep for the night. Elizabeth was very communicative before and during our stay. The Birdhouse was clean and perfect for a weekend trip. An Uber from 6th Street only cost about $5 at most. Definitely recommend.
240541,36044965,2015-06-24,35213132,Chad,Elizabeth was very easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to my emails. The Birdhouse was just as described and was a great place to spend the night on a short work trip. The location was perfect; the neighborhood was quiet but it was within walking distance to several bars and restaurants...I even had a nice early morning walk to Cuvee Coffee Bar to get my day started. 
240541,36159610,2015-06-25,36212912,Aimee,I really enjoyed staying in the birdhouse! It has everything you need in a convenient spot. Even though Elizabeth was out of the country she responded quickly to any and all questions I had. If I'm ever in the area again I will absolutely stay here again! 
240541,36327235,2015-06-27,20953633,Allison,Our experience at the birdhouse was great! Elizabeth provided good directions/instructions and we were able to check in a little early which was great. The space is small but for the price it def was worth it. The location was ok we used uber to get around and never spent over 6$. 
240541,36689285,2015-06-30,5658949,Zach And Christina,"Our experience at the Birdhouse was perfectly accommodating. Everything worked. The house in and of itself is nothing luxurious, but it provides necessities, which is what we were looking for.  The AC worked, as did the tiny shower. Most important and defining for this spot is its proximity to the most happening part of Austin.  If you want something fancy go elsewhere but if you just need some basics and are mostly interested in exploring, then this is it! "
240541,36910147,2015-07-02,36355490,Nicholas,"This was a fantastic stay for my wife and me who were traveling. It worked well for us, because we explored Austin from early until late in the day, which meant we were only in the Birdhouse to sleep. Elizabeth was great and responded to messages almost immediately (within the hour). "
240541,37312064,2015-07-06,28842454,Jenna,The birdhouse was amazing! It's very centrally located and easy to get around Austin. The place was very clean and welcoming - exactly as advertised. Elizabeth was very flexible and helpful to us. Would highly recommend staying here! Perfect for a weekend getaway! 
240541,38022728,2015-07-12,3335624,Tom,"Awesome experience!  The comfort of a hotel with the character of camping.  ""The Birdhouse"" was adorable, the neighborhood was great, and our host was very responsive to every issue that came up."
240541,38283104,2015-07-14,1599551,Allison,The birdhouse was as described in the listing. The coordination with Elizabeth was quick and easy. Was great for a short one night stay.
240541,38561306,2015-07-16,10033917,Gregory,"The checkin was easy, and located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. The accomodations, while a bit Spartan, were a very good value for the money. Not exactly my cup of tea these days, but a perfect crash pad for a couple students pinching pennies at SXSW or any other Austin event."
240541,39060651,2015-07-20,36922823,Rohith,"Couldn't recommend this place more. Completely no frills, but thoughtfully put together, has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Elizabeth was a great host and was super easy to coordinate with. Because of the private access I never met her but appreciated the privacy that it afforded."
240541,40135168,2015-07-28,36309038,Ray,"The Birdhouse is a great little haven for the self-sufficient traveler to Austin. In a funky little corner of the city -- yuppies, hipsters and young families coexist here -- away from town, but still readily accessible, with lots of drinking holes to choose from within walking distance -- I found the Weather Up tavern particularly welcoming (ask for Fidel, a bartender par excellence, who will look after you). Elizabeth is great -- she will give you all the space and privacy you want -- entry to the Birdhouse is through the alley, and you can come and go as you please. But I was also welcomed into her backyard to hang out with her and her film friends who were affable and easygoing, and I enjoyed beers and good conversation with them. Austin people are friendly, to be sure. I would go back in a heartbeat and visit Austin again and stay at the Birdhouse -- comfy, cozy lodgings and good value for the price -- probably at a time other than the peak of summer. The air conditioning in the Birdhouse saved my neck. The week I was there, the temperature never dropped below 85F. "
240541,41938948,2015-08-10,19807405,Brett,"The birdhouse is in a great location. I was easily able to walk downtown in about twenty minutes, and if walking isn't your thing it's a quick bus or Uber ride to the heart of the city. Elizabeth was super accommodating, and helped me out with any issues quickly. If you're just looking for a short stay or somewhere to keep your stuff close to the city without breaking the bank, I recommend staying here."
240541,43055016,2015-08-17,35849559,Ric,"Elizabeth was very responsive in her communication with us. Great host! The living space might be better suited to a single traveller, as the space and bathroom are very small. The shower pressure is also quite low and hard to shower with. "
240541,45294625,2015-09-01,31183071,Brer,Elizabeth was extremely responsive and also let me drop my bags off when I got into town a bit earlier than expected.
240541,46333081,2015-09-09,42428856,Marissa,Very good location. Easy walk to everything on East 6th and not too far from downtown either. The birdhouse was cozy but not too cramped. Easy check-in and check-out and Elizabeth was very helpful with letting me drop my bags off before check-in time so I could explore the town. Nice private entrance as well.
240541,47087403,2015-09-15,7531185,Matt,Just finished a quick trip to Austin for work. The birdhouse was a perfect fit for me so I could head back to a more casual neighborhood each night instead of staying in a hotel. I loved the neighborhood! So much interesting architecture and amazing food/bars.  
240541,47335742,2015-09-17,42621948,Nicholas,"My stay at the birdhouse was great! Elizabeth responded to my request promptly and was able to accommodate me on short notice. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to spend time with Elizabeth in-person but she was quick to respond to my messages and she is very clear in her answers to the questions I had. The birdhouse is a very neat place with everything you need. It is also in a GREAT location! I highly recommend staying at the birdhouse with Elizabeth! "
240541,47709965,2015-09-21,17910941,Kaitlyn,"Did not get to meet Elizabeth, but pictures were accurate and place was clean and easy to find. Nice stay with no issues. One thing to note, water pressure was on the low side, which made showering a little challenging with long hair!"
240541,47900816,2015-09-21,13107674,Balu,"Great place, super affordable and in fun East Austin. Would def recommend. "
240541,48730973,2015-09-28,41186442,Chelsea,Nice little private space. Enjoyed my experience. Very close to many of the Austin attractions.
240541,49263312,2015-10-02,2402565,Jacki,Great location! Perfect home base for exploring Austin! 
240541,50042423,2015-10-08,28645952,Silas,"Not terrible, not great. Someone else's crusty leftovers were in the fridge (but, so was someone else's beer), shower curtain stained brown, one of the more uncomfortable futons I've encountered. Having said that, the price and location were great. Good for a quick overnight trip."
240541,50135053,2015-10-09,14987284,David,Had a great time staying at the Birdhouse! The place is small but perfect for 1 or a couple which we were.  Perfect location with an easy walk or bike ride to lady bird lake that takes 5 min or a 5-7 dollar Uber to dt. Highly suggest staying here. Having the option to take the bikes made the stay even better.
240541,50446022,2015-10-12,18064779,Ashli,Elizabeth was very prompt in returning our messages. She also let us check in an hour which was awesome. The location is great. We could walk to the East 6th street and it was an easy Uber ride to other areas in the city. It seemed as if the place had not been cleaned very well before we arrived. The fridge had old food in it and the shower had hair and a moldy curtain. The futon was also pretty uncomfortable for two people. 
240541,50993037,2015-10-16,4243291,Victoria,"Elizabeth was incredibly accommodating allowing us to check in a little early and her treehouse was adorable. The neighborhood is up and coming but it's still residential and quiet. We even saw a racoon and a possum! The treehouse is a short walk from a bike share stop, a great breakfast taco joint, and cute restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!"
240541,51285779,2015-10-19,36627583,Robert,Great location and Elizabeth was very helpful and responsive to our questions.
240541,51840496,2015-10-24,24214481,Martin,"Nice and cozy place.
Cool area with lots of good bars and eateries.
Superb host.
I had wonderful time Austin, and it started with this booking."
4234150,21245901,2014-10-13,21983535,Rebecca,"Joe was a great host! He let us check in a bit early, even though the normal check in time wasn't until about 4 pm. This listing looked like it did on the pictures (we stayed in the apartment with one bedroom and two futons). It was perfect for us because it was close enough to Zilker Park (we were going to ACL) for us to walk back from, and it was also walking distance to 6th street. Neighborhood was quiet, but that was nice, we felt totally safe. "
2419588,18852376,2014-09-01,20358885,Samantha,"Rebecca was able to accommodate myself and a friend on rather short notice. She responded quickly and thoroughly to questions. Her home was very well-kept and as pictured. She left a few little notes about the house, as well as a hand drawn map of the neighborhood and check out procedures. Would definitely stay again!"
2419588,20870972,2014-10-06,11528990,Susan,Rebecca has a lovely duplex and was a great hostess for a first time Airbnb guest. Everything was clean and thoughtfully laid out - including suggestions for activities and restaurants in the area!
2419588,21611414,2014-10-20,21855949,Katie,Rebecca was a great host!  She was very quick to respond to my messages and gave some recommendations for places to go around her house.  The house was very true to the pictures!  It was nicely decorated and very clean!  It felt like a home away from home!  
2168813,21284190,2014-10-14,15360651,Chris,This was the perfect place to stay for Austin City Limits. Walkable to the festival and close to some awesome restaurants. Mary was extremely helpful and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable. The house is very nice and comfortable.
2168813,28071371,2015-03-17,4706331,Tim,Mary was a great host.  Incredibly hospitable and helpful overall.  Her place was in impeccable condition like the photos show and we stayed there extremely comfortably with five people (4 on beds and 1 on pull out couch).  It's primarily a residential neighborhood but there's an awesome wine bar/coffee shop around the corner.  Taxi downtown takes up about 5 minutes tops and there's also a bus that is a block from her pad.  We stayed there for SXSW and it was an overall great experience.  Sweet rooftop view of downtown to boot!
2168813,48744157,2015-09-28,18915105,Reba,"Mary was very responsive and very accommodating. Her house is absolutely immaculate and very beautiful. We booked this house for a staff retreat and we loved it. Although there aren't any tvs in the house, there is tons to do in the neighborhood. I love how ""Austin"" the house is complete with a piano and guitars in the live music capital of the world. :)"
2168813,49761917,2015-10-06,19234385,Ciera,"Myself and 7 of my friends stayed here during the first week of ACL. It was an absolute perfect space for us, and the location was even better. We didn't have to spend a dime hailing cabs to Zilker. We simply biked and walked over; talk about convenience. We each enjoyed the decor and space the house offered. The kitchen and the rooftop were my personal favorites. Mary was also very helpful in this process. She allowed us to check-in earlier than normal, so we could get to Zilker right when ACL begun - and also offered to let us do a late check-out, if we needed it. I would definitely recommend this property to those visiting Austin, but most specifically when visiting for ACL. The location, the space and price were all right. "
6423278,33327061,2015-05-26,5143648,Jeffery,My family and I stayed here for 3 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. House was immaculately clean and very comfortable - more than enough room for 4 of us. Hosts were very responsive in all communications. Location was super close to the downtown area with great restaurants all that Austin has to offer.
6423278,36309993,2015-06-27,34870137,Scott,"We rented Shiloh and Sally's house for two weeks. Very nice experience. Great location (although roads are confusing, thats Austin now), very clean and had everything we needed and more! Thank you for the great AirBnB experience. Highly recommend."
6423278,37251567,2015-07-05,11310874,New,"This is a beautiful house with an amazing backyard. About a $25 cab ride to downtown and the falls are as close as described. Had a great time but just be careful about parking...don't park on the street at the house (neighbors will complain) and don't park at Copperwood drive (it's for the residents only, cops will run your plates and give you a ticket). "
6423278,42163808,2015-08-11,26812214,Guillermo,"I can't say enough about how beautiful this home is. The relaxing environment made coming come from my volunteer work pleasurable. As if I was actually coming home. The convenience of the freeway location was a huge plus for myself and my group because it gave us options to enter Downtown Austin, meaning you can easily avoid traffic. As a first time AirBnB user  Shiloh & Sally answered any questions I had quickly. Highly recommend this place "
6423278,43842517,2015-08-22,40905348,Marcel,"Shilo and Sally are amazing, really responsive and helpful. The house is gorgeous and is located at wonderful location, close to downtown. "
6423278,44899953,2015-08-30,22729230,Joseph,"Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood. House was clean and welcoming. Especially enjoyed the backyard setting in the evenings - covered patio, chairs, lighting and ceiling fans.  Pool table was a plus.  Close in with easy access to all things Austin.  Hosts were very friendly and communicated promptly.  Overall, an excellent experience - highly recommended!"
6423278,46128341,2015-09-08,31734054,A.J.,"The house was awesome, perfect place to stay. Very cozy and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend this house to all. Very close to the highway and department stores such as Walmart or target. "
6423278,47964641,2015-09-22,10469354,(email hidden),Shiloh & Sally were very accommodating hosts and have a nice property. The house was found clean and neat in a nice suburban neighborhood about a 10-15 min drive from most places we wanted to go in Austin. The yard was beautiful and we found the location convenient for a wedding we were in town for about 3 miles away. Its not a location you would want to bike to town from due to the mega freeway interchange nearby but is fairly convenient if you have a car or don't mind a $10-15 uber ride to town (it was $15 to east 6th street area). 
6423278,49593206,2015-10-05,33776409,Matthew,"Honestly its everything they said and more. Great set up, awesome awesome backyard, nice clean kitchen. Not to mention the showers in both bathrooms. Nice quiet neighborhood close to Walmart and Target very nice people with a great home, zero complaints!"
6423278,50621704,2015-10-13,7815265,Tom & Rach,"Shiloh & Sally were very helpful and accommodating hosts, check in & out was seamless and easy. The house is very clean and well maintained with all the required amenities. We particularly loved the back yard which has a beautiful old tree with fairy lights to sit under on a balmy night.  Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this house to friends visiting Austin. "
6423278,51135133,2015-10-18,9471978,Andrew,"Great house, backyard and location!"
6423278,52041585,2015-10-26,827528,Meda,"We spent extended grand prix weekend and unfortunately it rained almost the entire time. Luckily the place was very nice and very very clean and thus we felt at home. Our expectations were exceeded. The pictures online are good but the place is much nicer, we thought. Back yard is amazing and location is great, 5 min to shopping Whole Foods, also a Costco 10 min away.  Close to major freeways as well. Communicating with host was not a problem and response was prompt. Fast wifi and big flat screen with Direct Tv. Kitchen had all amenities, brand new fridge, etc.  There was enough room in living for kids to play and house was child proofed. Overall we had a very pleasant experience and would highly recommend Shiloh & Sally Spoo. "
6423278,52674472,2015-11-01,36882919,Josh,Great neighborhood and beautiful house. House has a lot of upgraded amenities and is within a few miles of anything you might need. House is on large corner lot with a lot of privacy. Trail behind the house was not very established.  I would take the alternate route suggested by Shiloh and Sally.
4235764,20805548,2014-10-05,3267426,Jevin,"Shanon is very kind and generous, and knowledgeble about everything, we have great communications. The room is clean and spacious, with pleasing music at living room, great staying!"
4235764,20888425,2014-10-06,22103227,Tiana,"Shanon was simply amazing!! Great host. I had never done a bed and breakfast before but Shanon and her place has certainly won me over. Apart from her kind hospitality, the accommodation was excellent.  She is honest - it is a very relaxing, comfortable and beautifully decorated private space. I highly recommend her. "
4235764,21263344,2014-10-13,22260302,Chasen,"Everything about our stay with Shanon was excellent. She was friendly, generous, helpful, knowledgable about the city — essentially, everything you could wish for in a host. She did everything possible to make sure we had a great time in a city she so passionately loves. She has countless recommendations for the best restaurants, bars, attractions, etc. Because of these, we were able to experience not only the tourist-y aspects of Austin, but the lesser-known attractions as well.

All of the accommodations were exceptional. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and fully-stocked. The overall house is quite welcoming and in a comfortable area, which is accessible via taxi or bus (the last one leaves town around midnight).

My friend and I had never used airbnb before and were hesitant to try it out. I'm glad we did and I'm glad we were lucky enough to have Shanon as our first host. We definitely had a five-star experience and would recommend ""Luvitere"" to any traveler making their way to Austin. I don't think you will be able to find a better host in the greater Austin area.
"
4235764,22327725,2014-11-03,424157,Yulia,"Shanon was an excellent host and we greatly enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect for us, though be sure to have a car to get around Austin. The room itself was very nice; even better than the pictures show it to be. We found Shanon to be very personable and made us feel very welcome in her home from the time we arrived. We will definitely consider her place again for future trips to Austin. Very highly recommended."
4235764,22555644,2014-11-09,215014,Ed,"We arrived late 12:00 am and the host was waiting for us. The bedroom/bathroom was very clean and have all the stuff you need. Great shower. Our host made coffee and light breadfast and chat with us for a while, making us feel like at home.

"
4235764,22655087,2014-11-11,8169619,Deborah,Staying at Shanon's place was wonderful!  The room was exactly as described and pictured.  Shanon was a joy to meet and visit with.  
4235764,27629602,2015-03-08,28690331,Santiago,"This was my first Airbnb experience and was somewhat afraid about staying at a strangers home but after meeting and conversing with Shannon, the fear evaporated into thin air. Shannon was an AMAZING host and owns a very nice and artistic home. She had the room very neatly organized and even provided snacks! I was allowed to go and come as I pleased and was even invited to have breakfast. I would definitely stay with Shannon again when in Austin. "
4235764,28381877,2015-03-23,10460685,James,Shannon is an fantastic host. One of my best experience on Airbnb. Room is comfortable with clean sheets and bed.  Private bathroom; well equipped and clean.  Shannon is nice enough to make me coffee everyday and really made me feel at home. Highly recommend. 
4235764,28855451,2015-03-30,25261434,Russ,"A great AirBnB stay, fitting great with getting out into the hill country southwest of Austin. Shanon is a wonderful and welcoming host, and her house is just like the photos -- artsy, cosy, co-hosted by friendly cat named Cat. Bed is super comfortable and all amenities, bath and style is at the top of the game. I enjoyed time talking with Shanon, across a range of fascinating topics, further adding to why I appreciate AirBnB of such top caliber."
4235764,29242692,2015-04-05,30168881,Alicia,"This was our first air bnb experience so we were nervous at first, but Shannon was very welcoming and made us feel comfortable. Her home was lovely, neat, and the neighborhood was peaceful. Shanon was so nice, she made us breakfast and conversed with us.  We  loved our stay there and we wouldn't hesitate to return. "
4235764,29769507,2015-04-12,29880863,Erik,"I had a very good experience with this stay. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and the room is clean and peaceful. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to get to. Shanon was a great host and made it easy. If you need to stay in Austin but want to get away from the craziness of the city, this is a great place to stay. "
4235764,30637347,2015-04-25,31029632,Emily,"Staying with Shanon was a WONDERFUL experience! I was traveling for school and needed a lot of quiet time to myself to work on schoolwork. This was the perfect place for that!
Shanon was lovely to chat with, but understood when I needed to lock myself away to work on projects.
She has put considerable thought into providing all sorts of amenities. Any toiletries you may have forgotten are available, and Shanon was kind enough to make me coffee and breakfast while I was there.
This is truly an outstanding place, and I can't say enough good things about Shanon and her home!"
4235764,30848473,2015-04-27,15139667,Warren,Staying at Shanon' went perfectly for my wife and I.  She was helpful and personable while the room and bathroom were bright and clean.  We plan to stay again on our next trip to Austin. 
4235764,32194660,2015-05-15,15139667,Warren,This was our 2nd visit at Shanon's and everything was great again.  She didn't mind that we were getting in late and even made a nice breakfast in the morning.
4235764,33122191,2015-05-25,22991155,Julian,"My stay at Shanon was as Airbnb should be - from end to end. If you're going to plan a trip to Austin, don't waste your time and money in searching for hotels or other Airbnb accommodations. 

Communication with Shanon was very easy, she welcomed me warmly and showed me her little cottage. As a guest of hers you'll have the first floor for your own. This includes an own private bathroom and I very pretty guest room with an extremely comfy bed, an amenity in good style and enough space for all of your belongings.

Feel free to get in contact with Shanon! She's a very interesting person, who has a whole bunch of stories to tell. On the day of my departure she made a small breakfast, another goodie I did not expect. 

You'll be able to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime on a small TV in the guest room, parking is possible on the street, free Wi-Fi is provided. The bathroom is bright and clean, as so is the bedroom (two large windows).

All in all I strongly recommend staying at this place with its good travel connections."
4235764,41556458,2015-08-07,33411850,Antonina,"Shanon's room in Austin was perfect for our quick stay. The room was beautiful and Shanon was very sweet upon greeting us. The room had a TV with a Netflix/Hulu/Amazon account already set up and the bed was very comfortable :) although it was short, it was an overall comfortable and pleasant stay! Thanks again Shanon! "
4235764,42073371,2015-08-10,11566561,Becci,"Shanon was suuuuper sweet and very welcoming to my friend and I. Could not have asked for a sweeter host. Herself and Cat made us feel right at home! If I'm ever back in Austin, I will definitely be asking her if her room is available!!"
4235764,42998188,2015-08-16,19352762,Hector,Nice house and nice room. Very comfortable bed and one of the nicest hosts I've ever had on Airbnb. 
4235764,43184090,2015-08-17,8618447,Jay,"Shanon was very accommodating and was easy to work with in preparation for arrival.  The neighborhood was fairly suburban, as expected, and the room was clean and quiet.  We didn't stay long but our experience was certainly positive."
4235764,50365580,2015-10-11,10797371,Darlene,"Shanon was great! She is so easy to get along with. Everything was just as described and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Shanon!"
4235764,50446240,2015-10-12,23436068,Aida,"Everything was great. Shanon is a wonderful host. The room was nice, with lots of light and everything was very clean. The house is in a peaceful neighborhood 20' minutes drive from Congress ave. Totally recommended!"
4235764,51995890,2015-10-25,43979511,Paul,"Shanon was great. Upon arrival, she made us feel comfortable. The home is just as described. The room is very nice and had the most comfortable bed ever (I now need to invest in a memory foam like that one). We went to a fruit bar walking distance from her home and it hit the spot. It was so delicious.The next morning, she offered to cook us breakfast. The house is very very clean. My wife usually suffers from allergies, but did not have any issues here. We would recommend staying here. Thanks Shanon."
4235764,52226868,2015-10-27,43436995,Ganesh,"Shanon was a excellent host. The room was cosy, beautiful and very clean with attention to detail about all necessities. Overall the stay was very comfortable and pleasant and would definitely go back there in the future!"
1327668,7089573,2013-09-06,8537949,Dustin,"Barbara was exceptionally accomodating for me and my family. After having other plans through, we were left without a place to stay in Austin for the night. I contacted Barbara and she responded quickly, and offered her home despite being out of town. I didn't get a chance to meet her, but she had a beautiful home and the back bedroom was spacious and private. She allowed us full run of the house since she and her husband were traveling, and we especially enjoyed the pool (and rope swing!). We can't thank Barbara enough for her hospitality."
1327668,7183452,2013-09-09,6546578,Mark,"Barbara and Will were very accommodating.  They have a great arrangement with a private entrance on the side of the house.  The pool was great and although the bathroom was small, it served all of my needs and Barbara even showed me the other, bigger bathroom just in case I felt cramped.  I was happy to have the coffee maker in the same room as well as the use of an iron and ironing board.  

I would highly recommend Barbara's house and hope to stay again."
1327668,7406396,2013-09-18,8782816,Corbett,"Surely I would think this is the best value in Austin and Barbara/Will have to be in the running for most thoughtful hosts in the AirBnB system.  Central North location with a private entrance to a large well configured room and private bath.  I have been to Europe, and so I rate this bathroom a little bigger than small (it worked well for a 6'2"" guy).  This is great for the business traveler, UT visitors, couple exploring Austin or family of ~4 (day bed with trundle makes into effectively one king bed and the futon provides a full+ bed).  Excellent wifi.  Warm host who extends kitchen privileges. I will note that the room has three high windows on the North wall that will let some light enter in the mornings.  An inexpensive sleeping eye mask will easily solve this  I did not use one and had no problems, but I mention this just in case this is important to you."
1327668,7469223,2013-09-21,7509064,Randy,Wonderful hosts and accommodations.  The private room is as described.  Even has its own refrigerator large enough to handle my 64oz growler.  The separate entrance allows guests to arrive/depart without disturbing hosts.  I travel to Austin regularly and plan to stay again.
1327668,7568353,2013-09-24,3868216,Claire,"Barbara was a fantastic host! Her house is incredibly clean, comfortable, and soooo cute. There is a tree house, rope swing, and awesome pool outside too. Barbara made us feel right at home, and even opened up the rest of the house to us. She has great suggestions on where to go and what to see in Austin, and she even made us coffee one morning. Her house is in a very convenient central location, and the guest space has private access so you can come home after late adventures without a care in the world. Thanks Barbara!"
1327668,7594861,2013-09-25,8985904,Naya,"This was my 1st experience with airbnb and I couldn't have imagined how wonderful it would turn out to be. Barbara's home was immaculate - and she is such a gracious host! She takes pride in making sure all her guests needs are met. The private room and bath are more than adequate for anyone - she has thought of every detail to make your stay enjoyable. The backyard is so tranquil and a perfect place to just rest and clear your mind. The private bedroom has its own mini fridge and coffee maker, but she went above and beyond, offering  to share coffee and snacks with her as well. I went to find a comfortable, safe place to stay and found a lasting friend in the process. You will not find a better place to stay at such an affordable price! I will definitely return again and again!"
1327668,8023318,2013-10-13,4148962,Candace,"Barbara and Will are just great people! My almost-mother-in-law and I stayed here while planning my Austin wedding, and  they were incredibly helpful in suggesting places we could look into around town. They seem to be natural-born-hosts. 

I can also say that our room was at least as pretty as the pictures. The design and decor is an obvious labor of love. It was great to wake-up and admire the backroom in the natural light. Not to mention the pool and the beautifully kept garden. 

The next time we're in Austin we'll definitely look up Barbara and Will via airbnb again."
1327668,8245387,2013-10-21,9488756,Magyn,"My fiance Joe and I stayed with Barbara and Will while on the search for a place to live in Austin. Their home is beautiful, clean, colorful...their backyard is fantastic! On a cool night with a warm cup of coffee, it is the perfect place to sit and listen to the bugs sing. I also fell in love with the giant calaca (skeleton) they have sitting in their dining room. You can find him in some of the pictures Barbara and Will have posted of their home. He has a sombrero. He's pretty amazing. 

Anyway, this couple is even more charming than the place they have for you to stay.  They were so thoughtful. The beds are comfortable, the room is bright and colorful, the bathroom is clean and comfortable (just watch your toes! There's a small step up and I hit it every time I went in there!) There is coffee available when you wake up. They have thought of everything.  If you want privacy, you will get it. If you feel like chatting, they are certainly up for it. Barbara and Will seem to understand and cater to each type of person's needs in a way that only great hosts know how. Further, Barbara's suggestions on where to look for housing and where to eat were incredible, and man, can she make a margarita! 

I know that maybe I sound like a car salesman, but I really do not have anything bad to say.  I cannot express enough how appreciative I am for the hospitality given to us during our stay in Austin.

Barbara and Will, thank you for being such great hosts and we cannot wait to move to Austin and to hopefully see more of you. Ya'll have to take me shopping to get things to fill up our new home!"
1327668,8323625,2013-10-25,1239629,Anne,"Excellent: attractive, clean, comfortable, lots of natural light, and well-equipped for travelers' needs.  Five Stars for sure."
1327668,8351787,2013-10-27,5704872,Christian,"Barbara and her husband were the sweetest people. They seriously let you take advantage of all their facilities: bathroom, kitchen, grill, etc. You get your own mini-fridge stocked with bottled water, and there are magazines and adorable little notes with thorough instructions about everything. She even left us cookies :D They are so approachable and are happy to recommend local spots to hang out! 100% recommend with no reservations "
1327668,8538270,2013-11-04,9474535,Jamie,"My stay at Barbara's home was perfect. She was friendly and eager to help from our initial contact via email. The house was warm and lovely. I felt comfortable but also pampered. What a beautiful space! I slept better there than I have in years!! Barbara was so respectful of my needs: we talked and connected and she helped me with trip advice whenever I asked.  I also had a lot of privacy and my own space which I really appreciated. I will definitely be back in Austin and I will definitely stay with you, Barbara. "
1327668,8714599,2013-11-13,6546578,Mark,This was my second stay with Barbara.  Need I say more?  Barbara has a delightful home; clean and comfortable.  It's located in a quiet neighborhood yet very easy access.  Barbara is a very accommodating host; highly recommended!
1327668,8832403,2013-11-20,8940401,Tony,"Barbara and Will were lovely people and fantastic hosts, and their home a lovely place to stay. I was in Austin to work, unfortunately, and everything I needed to do that was there: a spacious room, comfortable bed, high-speed wi-fi connection and a nice, airy environment. Barbara and Will even took the trouble to run me into downtown Austin one evening. The stay was as relaxing as my schedule allowed it to be and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to  anyone. Absolutely first class."
1327668,8928068,2013-11-26,9170873,Patrice,Barbara and Will have a lovely home and are extremely gracious hosts.
1327668,8950913,2013-11-27,10084486,Ruth,Gracious family and nicely maintained home and garden.
1327668,8974547,2013-11-29,1910519,Brendan,This place is amaZing .. And Barbara was a wonderful host. I only wish I could have stayed a week!
1327668,9063025,2013-12-03,8651388,Agnieszka,"I had a wonderful experience while staying at Charming Rental in Austin. Although, I did not get a chance to meet Barbara and Will, I had several great communications with Barbara before and after my stay. She is very sweet and very detailed and super quick with replies when I had questions. The house is lovely and backyard is very relaxing, I enjoyed my coffee and time in the hammock in the morning. I Enjoyed every minute of my stay and will keep them in mind on my next trip when in Austin. 
"
1327668,9113900,2013-12-08,5438875,Pat,"Barbara and Will were great helping me with directions to get to my conf downtown and Whole Foods.  They were also generous with their home, blasting up the heat on the nights it was 30's which I appreciated. I loved all the art and creativity expressed throughout their house and esp in the ""charming room"" I stayed in."
1327668,9307961,2013-12-20,10200403,Bob,Barb was a great host and the room was perfect. clean and comfy. 
1327668,9721389,2014-01-06,6377324,Jan,"Barbara is the quintessential airbnb host and Austinite. Its a large room at the back of the house, with great light and energy. Charming art and fabric with Mexican theme make for a boutique hotel feeling. "
1327668,9774590,2014-01-09,10430058,Laurence,Barbara was gracious and a wonderful host.  The room was very adequate for my needs and I would stay there again.
1327668,9789247,2014-01-10,10281256,Jeremy,Barbara was very nice and welcoming. She gave me a tour when I arrived and explained everything. The house is great and the guest room is spacious has a heater and a/c. Bathroom was nice and clean. The separate entrance was helpful. She had coffee and water available for me. 
1327668,9816529,2014-01-12,1533848,Patrick,"An absolutely beautiful place to stay - I didn't coincide with Barbara during my time here, but she was incredibly welcoming and responsive and I hope to meet in person next time I am in town!"
1327668,9952742,2014-01-21,5927150,Shanna,"I will chime in with everyone else, and say how wonderful my stay with Barbara was. I will add though, that when I search for a place I always look for the ""entire place"". Barbara's place is a private room/bath with access to the kitchen/living room/backyard. Normally I wouldn't like this, but Barbara was so welcoming I loved it. I loved it so much I plan to return soon. "
1327668,9992210,2014-01-23,1775242,Patrick,"Barbara seems to have thought of everything that a guess might want; coffee machine and hot tea, small frig and microwave in the bedroom, detailed instructions, etc.  The space is almost a whole apartment.  The only thing shared is the main kitchen.  It is quite large and bright with windows on 3 walls.   Step out onto a great patio around the pool.   Very quiet and dark at night.   Located in a quiet residential area so it is best if you are in Austin with a car or at least a bike. We loved the space and would definitely go back if we are there with a car. "
1327668,10147814,2014-02-03,8371699,Joy,"Barb was an excellent host.  The room was clean and cute.  The linens (sheets, towels, robe, bathmats, etc) were all super duper soft and luxurious feeling.  I think they were better than those I've experienced in five star hotels.  She had coffee, tea and even a little cake out for us.  Parking is easy.  I have zero complaints and highly recommend this location.  "
1327668,10291054,2014-02-11,10309842,Jeff,"Do yourself a favor when in Austin and stay in the Visser's poolside room. It is just private enough but still sociable and Barbara could not possibly be a better or more thoughtful hostess...every need anticipated! Oh, and the house is just wicked fun! :) Jeff J, Bloomington, IN"
1327668,10354934,2014-02-15,6546578,Mark,I have now lost track of how may times I have stayed with Barbara and Will. We love their home and hospitality...it's all good. Highly recommended! 
1327668,10402241,2014-02-17,11945699,Fatimah & Julian,"My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the artistic ambience when we arrived on Friday February 14, 2014. As an art teacher, my wife gained some inspiration by the myriad of pieces and various mediums used to complete the artwork. The space was extremely comfortable and inviting, so much so that my wife has already booked us for two more visits in the coming months. We appreciated the hospitality of Barbara and Will and especially enjoyed their candor about their children and their particluar interests. If you are looking for a welcoming environment and a place to consider home away from home, this is truly your destination."
1327668,10480405,2014-02-21,4270175,Lorri,"What a great place to stay and such a charming hostess. Barbara had everything we could have hoped for: beautiful surroundings, comfortable room with all the amenities and she was so friendly and helpful.

Definitely think about staying here on your next trip to Austin!"
1327668,10626722,2014-02-28,106747,Stephen,"This was a wonderful place to stay! Great location, very accessible to all areas of Austin and all at a great price. Barbara was a wonderful and gracious host. Very friendly and had a great chat each morning over coffee! She even put out a delicious breakfast cake on our last morning there. I highly recommend staying in Barbara's Charming room for rent! "
1327668,10786100,2014-03-07,4196176,Sydney,"My boyfriend and I adored Barbara's home. It was warm and welcoming and we both instantly felt like we could relax. It was very clean and Barbara was very helpful, seeing as we ran into some ice on the way there delaying our arrival. We never got to meet Barbara face to face because we were so busy and had opposite schedules, but I would not hesitate to stay with her again! GREAT EXPERIENCE!"
1327668,10901337,2014-03-12,1871798,Barton,"Had an absolutely great stay from start to finish. The house is in a great neighborhood that is convenient to almost anything one would want to do in Austin. The room was spacious, quiet, comfortable. A lot of thought had gone into how it was put together - from the artisan textiles on the beds to the artwork on the walls. The bed was comfortable. The down pillows were the nicest I've slept on (and I've stayed in my share of overpriced, high-end hotels). Everything was spotlessly clean. Nice light. Lots of little amenities - wine, water, bathrobe, wireless, etc. Great outdoor living space. I would/will revisit without any hesitation. "
1327668,11106241,2014-03-21,10387723,Kabby,"Our stay with Barbara was absolutely fantastic. Barbara is a natural and gifted host who has a beautiful, bright and spacious home. The room itself is perfect for a renter because you have your own entrance and bathroom. The room is bright, cheery, clean and the photos represent the property perfectly. It's also located in a good location for whatever Austin adventure you are into. 

Barbara is someone who takes great pride in her home and providing you a first-rate experience. One night we told her how we wanted some dessert, but couldn't find a great place. She pulled out a delicious chocolate cake that she gladly shared with us. That's the type of host Barbara is. I would highly recommend her and her space as a perfect place to stay in Austin. "
1327668,11151247,2014-03-23,9430725,Dawn,Our stay was short and sweet. Charming room in a nice neighborhood with easy access to where we wanted to go!  Barbara and Will were pleasant hosts!
1327668,11204178,2014-03-24,8695056,Rusty,"I purchased Barbara and Will's sweet little b&b for My Mother and Step Father's Birthday weekend. 
- Communication was as easy as texting a friend or family member.
- Barabara even offered to go out and bake a cake, serve a bottle of wine and get chocolates for the folks.
- The both were so welcoming, they felt like family.
I dropped my folks off, we all got the tour of the house, food was waiting, and right away got into a conversation about running with Will.
The two of them were amazing...and really take care of a terrific casa!

The next morning they invited us into the living room to hang out and just relax and talk. As I wasn't a visitor, just wanted to treat my folks for the weekend, we got to talking about Austin and the history, etc...

I will tell you that where the house is located is in one of the best neighborhoods in Austin. It was like being taken back to the early 80's... It gave me goosebumps driving along the roads in the neighborhood! I miss that kind of Austin and am glad folks like Barbara and Will are keeping it Austin!

Thanks again and if you don't check out Barbara's b&b, you're really missing out!

Cheers..."
1327668,11278113,2014-03-28,8290404,Lynn,"This was our first experience at an airbnb, and quite honestly, we were a bit apprehensive about our decision; we felt uncomfortable driving to someone's private home to stay. But I have to say that Barb and Will made us feel 100% welcome as soon as we entered their home, and they are great hosts! The description and pictures of the room and house are exactly as described and pictured. The room is open, spacious, and cheerful. Barb also has a mini refrigerator and microwave in the room which was very convenient. Other nice touches included coffee/tea, a cabinet full of dishes for us to use, and purified water (to drink and fill water bottles). Barb even had surprise treats for us each day. She was very helpful in suggesting places to hike or bike, as well as recommending good places to eat. There is nothing like getting the inside scoop from someone who lives in the area and can provide helpful tips for getting around and great places to eat! The location of their home was convenient to the downtown area as it is right off Mopac. We will definitely be back again! "
1327668,11343170,2014-03-31,2294955,Sylvia,"Wonderful hosts and great, quiet location."
1327668,11425975,2014-04-02,10851715,Kate,The room is just as described and so cozy!  It's cute and it was obvious that a lot of attention was paid to detail.  Barbara and her husband made me feel so welcome.  Their backyard is a peaceful oasis if you want to just hang out and read.  I would stay here again anytime I was in Austin!
1327668,11518588,2014-04-06,13355040,Roberta,Our stay at Barbara's charming room was simply wonderful. Barbara is very hospitable and welcoming. We fell very comfortable and were inspired by her lovely decorations. She was great with our five year old daughter Nina. We will definitely stay at Barbara's next time we are in Austin.
1327668,11743333,2014-04-14,369317,Anne-Marie,"Lovely and unique living space, wonderfully located, and a gracious and inviting hostess--we couldn't have asked for a better stay!
My sister and I had travelled to Austin for a half-marathon, Barb did all she could to make our visit stress-free and comfortable--from providing directions, to restaurant suggestions, to even giving us a ride!  The best!!! 
The art in our room, the invigorating post-run swim, and the quiet surroundings, made this visit more like a retreat than the hectic run tour it could have been.  We highly recommend this property and commend this hostess!"
1327668,12326563,2014-04-29,7774752,Norm,The room and host were a wonderful surprise.  Could not be more friendly  and accommodating.  Room was clean and well appointed with everything that I could need.  Would live there if I could.

1327668,13850753,2014-06-06,1753377,Bonnie,"The room was better than we expected, full of light and bright,  colorful artwork. The pool was lovely, very refreshing.  Barbara and Will are wonderful hosts. We would highly recommend these accommodations to anyone!! We want to come back now!"
1327668,13987199,2014-06-09,16018592,LaTrisha,I enjoyed my stay with Barbara. What you see in picture is exactly what you get. Beautiful back yard. Daybed was very comfortable to sleep on. Barbara quickly responds to your emails and even called to make sure I could find her house(my flight got in late at night). I would definitely suggest anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin to stay with Barbara. If I make it back to Austin I would definitely stay here again.
1327668,14536378,2014-06-21,16724283,Laurel,"I needed to have a couple of days to rest and rejuvenate with no distraction.  I rented Barbara's room for two nights, and immediately felt at home.  It was bright, cheerful, comfortable and clean.  The grounds were beautiful and well kept.  She had everything needed to make a great experience.  I highly recommend this room to anyone needing a great place to stay in Austin. "
1327668,15341739,2014-07-07,3655251,Efren,Amazing Place! Room was super clean and colorful! Pool was great! Excellent Location! A perfect place to relax! Recommended 100%!!
1327668,16036773,2014-07-20,17831635,Michael,Barbara was a great host and her house is incredibly charming.  Would stay with her again in a heartbeat.
1327668,16498982,2014-07-28,17132681,Gina,"Our host was wonderful, even though she was not there we had communication with her throughout if needed.  Everything was ready and waiting for us.  The space was lovely and full of fun and colorful art.  The pool area was a great escape from the heat while we visited Austin.  Our boys especially loved the rope swing. We will be back to stay again!"
1327668,17051409,2014-08-06,17049362,Ellen,"What an absolutely wonderful experience I had staying with Barbara and Will. Both are super nice, helpful, courteous and just lovely. Barbara was out of town for a majority of the time we stayed with them, but you could tell how thoughtful and kind both of these folks are. Definitely recommend staying with them if you're looking for a quiet, calming and tranquil stay. "
1327668,17499342,2014-08-13,9728355,Julia,"This place was the absolute best rental we could have chosen! The room was spacious and cool for the three of us, and had everything we needed--mini fridge, private bath with shower, towels, coffee--PLUS a fantastic pool. We thoroughly enjoyed lounging and using Barbara's home as a retreat from our ventures out into Austin. It was so easy to access. Her decorations were fabulous, and she was a great hostess! Highly recommend!"
1327668,17631303,2014-08-15,17669873,Brian,"Barb and Will were fantastic hosts!  They were warm and welcoming and were a great resource for fun things to do in town, good running routes, etc.

The house was amazing (the backyard pool was a definite bonus) and I definitely plan on looking this spot up the next time I'm in town."""
1327668,17847521,2014-08-18,12356911,Marc Anthony,Our stay at Barbara and Will's place was fantastic. They have a wonderful space and were very accommodating to is during our time in Austin. It had an awesome vibe and we enjoyed the layout. The pool was awesome after a long day in the city! Barbara was not in town but was always available whenever we needed anything or had questions. We would definitely come back the next time were in Austin! 
1327668,18023339,2014-08-20,19070592,Armando,"My wife, Silvia, and girls stays at Barbara's a couple of days ago and loved it; Barbara was an outstanding host. The place was amazing, clean, spacious and very comfortable. Barbara went far and beyond to make my family feel right at home. We would stay again if Barbara would have us. Thanks Barbara, for everything."
1327668,18136873,2014-08-22,18268944,Tim,"Barbara's house was amazing! Do you enjoy luxurious rooms with plenty of light? How about a nice pool in the backyard or a great location? Then this is the place for you.

This room can comfortably fit three people. Barbara even printed out a list of things to do in Austin that has helped tremendously. 

Highly recommended for everyone!"
1327668,18413776,2014-08-26,17843761,Andrew,"If you're looking for a great environment to experience Austin, then Barbara's room provides exceptional value. The location is in an easy to access spot in central Austin. In all honesty, the decor of the room really adds to the stay. All of the provided accommodations make everything easy.

With a separate side entrance for guests, you have nothing to worry over setting whatever schedule fits your needs. The home is in a great neighborhood where avid cyclists and joggers are seen every morning and are particularly friendly if you say hello.

All in all, I would easily recommend booking here to a friend. Staying there only added to my time in Austin. But finally, in addition to the benefits of the space itself, Barbara couldn't be better with communicating and helping you out if you have any questions."
1327668,18797573,2014-09-01,613568,Jermaine,"My husband & I came to Austin not knowing what to expect and we left feeling not only welcome but amazed by some of the wonderful people we met. Barbara and Will welcomed us into there home with kindness, warmth & love. Barbara went above and beyond as a host. I love yoga and so she let my husband and I join her for a yoga class. I cant recommend this place enough. I truly loved how bright & clean the room was, not to mention taking a dip in the pool. You have your privacy while still being part of this lovely home. There was never a shortage of places to eat and Barbara was very clear and thorough with a list of Austin's hotspots for food and cool places to see. Our 5 day stay was all positive and it was due to the fact that we had a lovely place to stay and an awesome host. Thank You Barbara & Will :)"
1327668,19113517,2014-09-06,14129050,Angel,"A+! Barbara provides a very spacious, clean and wonderfully decorated room. Private shower/bathroom, also very clean. I booked really late in the day and Barbara got back to me within the hour. This is a terrific place in a great neighborhood. "
1327668,19281465,2014-09-09,6940379,Holly,"Lovely room, decorated with bright colors and quirky art.  Lots of windows allowed appreciation of the landscaped yard and pretty pool. Barbara gave clear directions on how to get to the room and in the private entrance. She appeared a couple of times during our stay and we enjoyed visiting with her.  Most Austin destinations (including my son's house!) would be easily reached from this location, but the residential neighborhood allows retreat from urban scurry.  There's also a handsome outdoors cat who may stand still to talk to you."
1327668,19601200,2014-09-15,8510541,Lissa,Barbra and Will made us feel right at home.   Very helpful and generous
1327668,19858138,2014-09-19,6773970,Meghan,"Excellent room and wonderful hosts. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the pool and back yard (with hammocks under big live oaks) were beautiful. Barbara was an extremely helpful, thoughtful, and accommodating host. Great location too, near lots of good restaurants/ bars/ coffee shops in the North Loop/Burnet area. Highly recommended!"
1327668,20274165,2014-09-27,14170206,Eagle,"Barbara and Will were both fantastic hosts. So refreshing to meet friendly, down to earth people these days. Super accommodating and personable. Even though we didn't see them much due to scheduled events in Austin, I couldn't have asked for better hosts. The addition was comfortable and clean, and their attention to detailed accommodations was second to none. (filtered water cooler, etc) I plan on being back in Austin next year and I'll definitely be checking this listing first before making other arrangements. Thanks for helping in making our trip all the more pleasant guys. Great meeting you. "
1327668,20518766,2014-09-30,21060414,Morgan,"I don't think I could have picked a more perfect place to stay for my three nights in Austin. I had a feeling after reading Barbara's glowing airbnb reviews that she truly enjoyed hosting, after after staying in her home, I have no doubt about it. Barbara was welcoming and accommodating and made sure my boyfriend and I had everything we needed to be comfortable.

And really, there is so much in this home to make you feel comfortable! The decorations were beautiful and our room was so quiet, with a great view of the pool and backyard. I loved how our host had the essentials labeled so we knew where to find extra towels and other things. She even had restaurant and attraction recommendations printed out for us! We made use of the mini fridge to store our leftovers and helped ourselves to Keurig coffee in the mornings. One night when we retired early, we had a ""redbox night"" and made use of the great TV and DVD player in our room. Although our bedroom was part of the house, it felt so private, with its separate entrance from the back of the home and separate bathroom for us to use. The amenities were far, far beyond what I had expected!

We only saw Barbara and Will twice during our three-day stay in their home, but their hellos and goodbyes were warm and definitely made us want to return to see them again. They are fantastic hosts! "
1327668,20635795,2014-10-02,12589077,Genny,"Even though we host on AirBNB, this was the first time I ever used it for travel accommodations.  Barbara's place was an absolute delight, beautiful and very clean!!  Barbara's hospitality immediately made me feel at home.  I was able to catch up with one of my best friends relaxing on the patio watching the lightning bugs.  Will definitely return the next time I'm in Austin for business."
1327668,20729837,2014-10-04,13026201,Tami,"The listing was described accurately, the neighbor hood was nice."
1327668,20892370,2014-10-07,14718141,Mike,"Best place we've stayed in our AirBNB travels. Barb and Will were very helpful, friendly and provided anything we could have wanted and more. The detailed 'notebook' of where to go and places to eat and see. Barb was full of ideas and gave us our best during a plank session in the room! Benji's was AWESOME. The room was quiet and private, comfy and just want we needed after a hellish day of travel and a full day at ACL. I'm sorry we only stayed two nights because there was so much to do and see we couldn't. Oh, and Boo the cat loved us!"
1327668,21019076,2014-10-09,17843761,Andrew,"Not once, but twice I have stayed at this location and loved it. My relocation to Austin came full circle as this listing was my very first night in Austin. Without the excellence of the services provided and the warm welcome from Barbara I don't think the circle could have been completed. This room is a STEAL with the value you get staying with Barb & Will. Book today and you will not be disappointed! "
1327668,21433259,2014-10-17,1704172,Calin & Vanessa,"Wow. Wonderful room! Great decoration, a pool, just a short drive to downtown and a SUPER friendly host. We really enjoyed staying with Barbara. Not only did we enjoy, but we also learned a lot about hosting from her and we are going to implement some of her ideas for our own Airbnb. The value here is fantastic. Barbara has taken care of everything and the thoughtfulness of all details in the room is humbling. We have nothing but praise for this gem. Thank you for having us and we look forward to meeting you when you come visit Toronto! "
1327668,21944350,2014-10-27,19966139,James,The best Airbnb in Austin TX. I called my experience at Barb and Wills homes a little resort for me to enjoy.  They were helpful with everything I needed to know and open their home for to enjoy and have fun. I will go back to Austin and stay at their home. I felt like family.
1327668,22188521,2014-11-01,10624670,Joy,I had a lovely stay with Barbara and Will.  The room was comfortable and just as pictured.  On the last day Barbara provided me and two other guests with a wonderful breakfast (not normally part of the deal).  So nice!  I'm sure I will stay with them again when I'm in town.  
1327668,22305263,2014-11-03,21692486,Johan,"Utmärkt trevligt boende i nordlig förort till Austen TX. Trevlig värd och värdina, man kännde sig verkligen välkommen utan att det blev för mycket. Bra stort ljust rum med egen toalett i direkt anslutning till mysig trädgård. Bokar igen om jag skall till Austin. "
1327668,22405575,2014-11-05,17829416,Lucia,"The location of Barbara's and Will's home is great with accessibility to every location you need to reach in Austin and it's vecinities.  Leave that aside I would have driven anywhere to stay with Barbara and Will!  The minute we walked into our room we immediately felt very welcomed.  Beautiful bright room with art from different parts of the world adorning it.  It was very clean and ready for us to settle into.  The room contained anything we could have needed; microwave, small fridge, coffee and coffee maker, extra pillow and blankets, etc.  The bathroom was fully stocked and we also had use of their full kitchen and living room.    The absolute BEST part is Barbara and Will, I am so excited to now called them friends.  They are magical individuals with a sense of wonder and joy for life that anyone going to Austin should experience.  Enjoy!"
1327668,22590885,2014-11-10,20976989,Isolde,"To meet Barbara and Will is a gift for everybody!  Both of them are warmful, open minded people with an open heart. You can see and feel it from the very first moment. They are taking care about you and respect privacy and offering you everything what they have to make your stay in Austin unforgetable. I always felt safe and welcomed and accepted as a unique person. Meet them..and find out ....you don`t regret it. The room is awesome: quiet, clean and colorful....an inspiration and an island to relax. "
1327668,22685762,2014-11-11,23391174,Robert,"Host Barbara must have a mind of anticipating what guest might think, do next or need.  All has been provided for.  Very good experience!
Who wants to look at a hotel room when being able to experience the Southwest uniqueness of particularly this abode?"
1327668,23103194,2014-11-23,22534398,Jeph,"This place was just as described, and better.  Great location, great hosts, and a perfect price.  My wife and I were close to anything and everything.  We hope to come back and use this location again.  Enough words cannot be said as to how good a time we had, and using AirBnB and these hosts were a part of that.  Thanks!!"
1327668,23955791,2014-12-15,8093783,Kendal,"This is a wonderful place- a real ""find"".
The backyard is special and the room is cute.

The location is suburban- so your not in the 'Heart"" of the Austin scene- which was just what we wanted.

I could not recommend this place enough.

"
1327668,24042287,2014-12-17,4147876,Curlin,What a wonderful space with so many homey touches! The hosts are so welcoming and helpful!  Location was perfect for us too. Lovely. 
1327668,24156864,2014-12-21,24598238,Gary,I loved it....Barb and Will made me feel right at home...hope to stay more often
1327668,24287042,2014-12-24,990685,Elizabeth,"Our stay at Barbara's place was great! Super clean, full of light, beautifully decorated with lots of amenities available, and an amazing backyard (don't forget your swimsuits like we did!). Quiet and peaceful neighborhood."
1327668,24316565,2014-12-25,25013462,Lingzhi,They are very friendly and treat us very well. They provide very comfortable living conditions and nice Christmas restaurants. The tour guideline book is very useful by Babara. Thanks and hope to revisit her again.
1327668,24678707,2015-01-01,23546052,Casey,"we had a fantastic stay. barbara and family were great hosts. the hot tub was a highlight and standout feature for us, especially on the very cool nights. Thank you"
1327668,25104177,2015-01-06,20691496,Juliane,"I loved staying with Barbara! I felt very comfortable and welcome and Barbara really made me feel at home. The room and bathroom are just beautiful, very well equipped and very clean. You have a lot of space and privacy and the neighborhood is very nice and quite. 
Don't miss the hot tub!
I really hope to come back - Thank you so much Barbara!"
1327668,25252646,2015-01-10,25519832,Vanessa,"Barbara was so nice and made me feel welcomed in her home the moment I arrived. The room is beautiful,  very warm and comfortable,  a great place to reconnect and relax. The hot tub was an added bonus on top of everything. She was very respectful of my privacy, at the same time I knew I could go out and talk with them at anytime. She was very accommodating, everything I needed was in the room and more! I couldn't be happier from my time at her ""Charming"" home."
1327668,25603076,2015-01-20,12733054,David,"the location is great, really easy access to both downtown and great outdoors activities. The room is really nice and there is a hot tub if moy are so inclined.Probably a good idea to rent a car but you'll want to do that no matter where you are in Austin because it's many neighborhoods are easier to access if you drive. Didn't find parking to be too difficult but we were there in January. It's a fun city!"
1327668,25787854,2015-01-26,23527951,Michael,"This was our first experience with Airbnb and it was in a word- fantastic.  For the price of some dull McHotel we got a hip, eclectically decorated guest home in a vibrant Austin neighborhood.  Even though we stayed during a chilly January weekend, I loved sitting in the backyard among the native flora and my daughter had the blast in the treehouse.  We will definitely be back when the weather warms up to try out the pool.  "
1327668,25889775,2015-01-28,9448213,Robin,"Loved staying at Barbara's! Her place was so cute, nice, clean, & comfy & they are the sweetest hosts! The hot tub was a bonus, a pool in the summer...We can't wait to stay again & again. Thank you!!"
1327668,25916647,2015-01-29,10200159,Jim,"The host made me feel very welcome. The listing and pictures were accurate. The neighborhood was as described, with attention to detail that was helpful upon arrival. The location is excellent for downtown meetings or visits. The lodging accommodations were perfect; clean, comfortable and with nice amenities. Just the right balance of privacy and friendliness. Little instructional signs strategically placed helped me know what the rules were, and how to do things to mutual expectations."
1327668,26129593,2015-02-04,8120463,Maudene,"Barbara and Will were excellent host and hostess.   They were very friendly and made my husband and me feel very welcome.  The room we stayed is much more beautiful than in the photographs.  She had left tea, coffee,  and even a small jar of hersery chocolate kisses in the room.  They were available for any questions we had.  If it were a hotel I would rate it at the 5 level.   The hot tub was wonderful.  Jeff and I spent some time in it every day.  It was a little too cold to swim.  It is easy to park on the street.  Thier home is located in a good neighborhood and it is easy to get downtown.  
I plan to tell my friends about her place.  "
1327668,26232686,2015-02-07,2409636,Ned,"This was a terrific Airbnb experience...the accommodations were wonderful and Barbara was helpful and a delight.  She provided very helpful pre-arrival information.  And even though I needed to arrive a bit late, she greeted me, gave me a helpful briefing on everything.  The home was very nice - loved the automatic lighting along the pathway to the separate/private entrance.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to enjoy the wonderful back yard with pool and loungers - I'll have to plan my visit better next time.  I'd say everything was nicer than I expected and I'd definitely stay there again."
1327668,26995212,2015-02-23,19528298,Sterling,"Stay was great! Comfy bed and place just like pictures. HOT TUB was awesome. Didn't get to meet Barb. for she was out of towm, But she stayed in touch and answered all questions !!"
1327668,27160775,2015-02-27,10624670,Joy,This is my second stay with Barbara.   Her home is very comfortable and she is very welcoming.   I'll stay again if I have the opportunity.
1327668,27304940,2015-03-01,23723364,Laura,"My husband and I travelled to Austin on a very chilly day when the forecast was calling for ice. When we arrived to our room, it was already toasty warm with heaters on, cozy lighting and colorful designs. It was clean and inviting, better than the description listed. We only stayed for a quick overnight trip, so we never had the pleasure of meeting Barbara, but hope to stay at her place again someday. It really was very lovely!"
1327668,27541095,2015-03-07,27235216,Marylen,"It IS an Oasis! This was our first airbnb experience and it was perfect: Barbara and Will are very nice and welcoming hosts, the room is beautifully decorated, bright and comfy and the hot tub is just fantastic. "
1327668,27621120,2015-03-08,28562163,Meghan,Sunny Garden was very comfortable and relaxing for our stay. We only were able to stay one night but the stay was very accommodating. Didn't get a chance to meet Barbara but Will was very welcoming and showed us around when we arrived. When we checked out Barbara went out of her way to call and make sure we had a good stay! Super sweet lady :) we will definitely be staying again when we go back to Austin in the future!  
1327668,27808524,2015-03-12,28231846,Ruth,We had a lovely time while staying at Will and Barbara's! We will definitely be back soon! 
1327668,28588434,2015-03-26,28926439,Simone,Barbara was a wonderful host. Her home is lovely and the pool and hot tub were an amazing bonus!!! We used both!!! The beds are comfy and the space is huge!! She also has a folder with everything you need to know about Austin in it which was great for us! Would def recommend staying here 10/10 stay!!! 
1327668,29157616,2015-04-05,1494347,Peter,"This was the best place we have ever stayed at with Airbnb, period.
Unfortunately we never met Barbara who was out of the country, but she was very helpful before we got there and I am happy to say we spoke a few times on the phone. She was very responsive and great with local suggestions. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood with quick access to the main artery's of Austin.
Her place was fantastic. Super clean and she had decorated it with some of the best Mexican art we have seen. She had very clear instructions on how to everything including operating the wonderful hot tub.
We stayed for 4 nights and didn't want to leave.
Five star isn't high enough, this is a six star place and I couldn't recommend it more. 
Thanks Barbara!!"
1327668,29519644,2015-04-08,29456045,Imad,It was a pleasure tu meat Barbara and stay in the oasis.
1327668,29915510,2015-04-14,27752785,David,This was my first experience with Airbnb.  Barbara's guest accommodations were better than described.  The atmosphere of the room was open and bright and inviting.  This was more comfortable and welcoming than a standard hotel.  I recommend to anyone considering Airbnb in the Austin area to choose this amazing comfortable place to stay.
1327668,30104060,2015-04-17,19185389,Don,"Most welcoming. Flexible hours with separate entrance. Barbara is very sweet. 

Easy parking on quiet street. "
1327668,30375744,2015-04-21,13087897,Philip,Barbara was the perfect hostess. She anticipated all our needs and some needs we didn't know we had. She has a beautiful home and is happy to share her life experience with her guests and has gone out of her way to provide many facilities for her guests.
1327668,30523248,2015-04-23,277693,Connie,"This is a fabulous airbnb room!  It has everything you could want & nothing disappoints. The hot tub is great, the room is beautiful, comfy & spotless -- and spacious. Love everything about it -- highest recommendation. "
1327668,30754787,2015-04-27,12126008,Sherry,"What a wonderful gem of an offering in Austin!  I was looking for a room near my son's apartment to use as a long weekend stay.  Barbara's home was the perfect location, and turned out to be a truly delightful stay.  I didn't use the pool or hot tub, but both were literally right out my door.  The pictures describe the room and home perfectly.  I'm expecting to return to Austin within the year and would love to be able to stay again, and hopefully we'll be able to meet Barbara!  Such a lovely experience!"
1327668,31110966,2015-05-02,5567927,Nelda,"This sweet cabana is an amazing place to stay. Barbara was very welcoming and informative, and she seems to have thought of everything to make her guests comfortable. The room is filled with natural light and beautiful art, and the back door opens right onto the pool area. The private entrance is great, and there is plenty of street parking.  "
1327668,31291773,2015-05-04,23527951,Michael,"Simply wonderful.  We were in town for my sister's wedding and after our first experience, I would not have considered any other lodging option.  Such a hip, eclectic, and soothing oasis right in the heart of the River City.  The backyard, complete with a pool, treehouse and reading area were among our favorite amenities.  Barbara (and Boo:) were perfect hosts- welcoming, and attentive without being intrusive.  We'll be back.     "
1327668,31636513,2015-05-08,28808060,Clay,Barbara is a wonderful host.  Great home and easy access to major roads and places to see.

1327668,32123951,2015-05-14,30478608,Sarah,"We had a lovely stay in Barbara's charming home. Barbara is such a thoughtful host and made us feel very welcome. We loved the bright decor and the plentiful sunlight the room receives throughout the day. The space was already equipped with towels, shampoo/cond. and soap, hair dryer, hot tea and coffee at  your disposal, a mini-fridge and microwave, control over the room's AC unit, and more -- this felt more like renting a full property than renting a simple room, and we had more than enough privacy. An incredible value. 
Our busy schedule kept us from spending much time with Barbara beyond a friendly introduction, but we did get to spend some quality time with her adorable (outdoor) cat, Boo! We plan to be back in Austin later this year and would ABSOLUTELY prefer to stay here again. Thank you, Barbara!"
1327668,32541606,2015-05-19,18176612,Keith,Perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend. Everything you need was provided to have a great time.
1327668,32831426,2015-05-22,613568,Jermaine,"Ahhhhhhhh where do I begin with Barbara she is simply lovely, warm and very welcoming. We stayed with Barbara last summer when I was pregnant and this time returned with our daughter...we could not have stayed in a better place with our baby girl (so clean, safe, bright and great energy) Barbara was so welcoming to our little family and we felt so thankful that we met someone like her in Austin. If your going for a vacation, work or just thinking of relocating I highly recommend Barbara's place...it really doesn't get better than her lovely home :) hope this helps!"
1327668,33076012,2015-05-25,28232609,Thiany,"What a wonderful  first airbnb experience! Barbara was a very thoughtful host.  We were in Austin for my daughter’s college graduation and staying with Barbara made it even more magical.  Her home is lovely and very clean.  The beds and pillows are super comfy.   Her beautiful  spirit shines through in her home.  This home and area are a great place to stay and I’d highly recommend it if you are looking for quality, convenience and comfort.

1327668,33795827,2015-06-01,22217399,Hannah,"What can I say about my experience staying with Barbara?! She was absolutely fantastic! She deserves the best host award. She is such a thoughtful person who immediately makes you feel at home. Her oasis is exactly that, an oasis with so much color and beautiful mexican art. She had wonderful recommendations to visit while I was in Austin. Unfortunately, I came at a time when Austin was experiencing the worst flooding in decades lol. Nonetheless, my experience in Austin will be unforgettable. I told Barbara I will call her when I move there and I promise I will! Thank you for everything. :)"
1327668,34106594,2015-06-04,8761380,Sharon,"Barbara was a wonderful host, and  I felt very much at home!  The room was just as described, very warm and cheerful. The bed was VERY comfortable...so much so that I slept late both days I was there.  Although I didn't use the pool, it was a beautiful backyard and setting.  I would definitely stay here again. "
1327668,35094683,2015-06-15,32018098,Wendell,When we arrived Barbara came out to the street to welcome us.  She immediately made us feel at home and gave us a tour of our new accommodations.  Even though our room was connected to the main house we felt we were in our own private space.  The room was a very spacious suite with its own bathroom and shower.  The bed was very comfortable and the suite was beautifully and artistically decorated.  We felt very comfortable staying at Barbaras bnb.  
1327668,35844537,2015-06-22,264482,Sean,"Barbara was a wonderful host. The room was spacious and well kept. She definitely went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable. She provided us with anything that we needed while in Austin. I would highly recommend staying with her, and will absolutely stay again. "
1327668,37342871,2015-07-06,34920559,Jennifer,Fantastic place to stay! Very clean and great amenities. As first time Airbnb users we were nervous about staying in a strangers home. But Barbara made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Definitely recommend her home!
1327668,38193180,2015-07-13,37100674,Noelle,"Barbara's oasis was a sanctuary for the soul and more! The space was beautiful and inviting, with gardens, pool and jacuzzi that were spotless. Barbara is an generous host who turned into a friend over the two days I visited!  I highly recommend this if you are looking for an amazing stay in Austin!!!"
1327668,40937464,2015-08-03,36465752,Kirt,Barbara's home was wonderful! It was well suited for our trip to Austin. The location of her home provided quick access to all of our adventures. We also took advantage of her great pool. Barbara was welcoming and eager to help with any requests.
1327668,41994234,2015-08-10,12038000,Sarah,"Barb was very welcoming and the place was really nice. We stayed in the backroom, which is small but has everything you need for a short weekend or even week-long visit (no access to kitchen, but there is a microwave and fridge and sink area). The best part, of course, is the pool and hot tub out back. The beds were also comfortable and everything was easy to find/use. I would definitely stay here again. "
1327668,43880572,2015-08-22,41762971,Israel,"Barbara was great, she fit me in at the last minute and was there when I checked in. Such a cool place and inviting. She made me feel right at home and comforatble even though it was my first time using Airbnb. I wish I had more time to hang out but when I was there the room was both private and open if need be. Pool and backyard are great, it was raining part of my stay so didnt get to use it but maybe next time. Would definetely stay here again and maybe rent the entire home for a family visit. "
1327668,44180564,2015-08-24,27323248,Galina,"Barbara was a wonderful host, warm and welcoming. Her home is very uniquely decorated and very comfortable, located in a quiet neighborhood, but close to the one of the main roads. Our experience exceeded our expectations and having a nice dip in the pool at the end of a long day definitely was a plus!"
1327668,44584523,2015-08-27,41333057,Dinah,"She was amazing!!! We had an amazing time! Room and house are beautiful!!!
It was perfect, and exactly what we expected, and even more!!
We enjoyed our stay so much!! 
Thanks a lot!!"
1327668,47440039,2015-09-18,20336061,Tom,"Barbara had her place all setup and ready to go.  I had to text her a couple of times with questions (my cause) and she responded promptly  

Great room in a quite neighborhood with lots of little amenities that made the 2 night stay very comfortable.  Cute house!"
1327668,47639986,2015-09-21,36199230,Renee,Barbara had the room all prepared when we arrived.  The room was clean and spacious.  All the little touches were there to make you feel special including some red wine.  The listing information was very accurate.  The home has a lovely pool and hot tub with private entrance.  The beds were very comfortable too!
1327668,48328929,2015-09-25,2120561,Mary Etta,"We arrived very late at night, but Barbara 'left the light on' for us and we were able to get settled quickly after a long day.  The room was made up for us and everything clean and neat.  I enjoyed the fresh water, coffee pot set with water for a morning K-cup, and the pool was very refreshing.  Barbara provided a folder with everything including: wifi-code, kitty warning, and checkout instructions.  She is very organized and an ''expert"" host.  Be sure to check out the sling chair that dangles from the tree, totally relaxing."
1327668,49314058,2015-10-03,14170206,Eagle,"Barbara is the best AirB&B hostess one could hope for. For the 2nd year in a row she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and her home is always clean, welcoming, comfortable and relaxing. I can't imagine ever visiting Austin again without looking her up, and this will always be my first choice for accommodations when headed back that way. We've made the Austin trip in September an anual tradition, and Barbara and her home are as much a part of that tradition as anything else. You'd be hard pressed to find a nicer home or a nicer host in Austin, and I can't recommend this listing enough. Thanks again for everything Barbara and we'll definitely see you next year! "
1327668,49761745,2015-10-06,33468688,Cayla,"When Ryley and I showed up we were a couple hours early to our check in! I had our times mixed up (my mistake) but Barbara was more than accommodating! Everything we could possibly need was included in the room. From coffee, to pastries and chocolates, even wine! The beds were comfy and the shower was nice and hot. The AC was an especially nice touch - especially considering my boyfriend and I spent the majority of the time in the hot sun at the ACL festival. We especially loved the cat that came and greeted us every time we showed up back at Barbs. She was a real sweety and enjoyed investing lots of pet time to her. Great stay we had a blast!!"
1327668,50191564,2015-10-10,43269603,Christine,"
Barbara made me feel very welcome in her beautiful home.The neighbourhood is very leafy,quiet and good  for a walk. I swam in the pool and sat by the pool with a good wifi connection.Loved the Mexican (website hidden) was a fantastic first airbnb experience and I would definitely reccommend staying here. There are good restaurants a few minutes drive away.Information booklet was very informative."
1327668,50740955,2015-10-14,32762348,Lisa,This was my first time using Airbnb and it was even better than anticipated. Barbara was the best hostess and even offered to drive us back and forth to the music festival we were in town for. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and we had a lovely pool to come home to. The place was super clean and had everything we needed. It really was the perfect situation for us and the price was right.
1327668,51572392,2015-10-21,42990669,Cory,"Barbara is a great host, available to help with any questions. My wife and I came to Austin for our anniversary and everything was perfect. Private room, private bathroom, and private entrance. But you definitely want to stop and talk to Barbara, she's great."
1327668,51804538,2015-10-24,13679256,Babak,Barbara is a great host and his place is awesome. Hope to see you soon again:) And thank you for everything:)
1327668,52205618,2015-10-27,32300042,Diane,We had lovely and warm welcome from Barbara. She was so helpful with everything from recommending places to go and making us comfortable in the accommodations. Relaxing in the hot tub the last night was so nice and the whole cottage set up was just perfect. We were 2 old friends reuniting for a fun weekend in Austin. Even though it rained for 2 of the 3 days we had a blast and would book here again. 
1327668,53171327,2015-11-06,27616965,Dorothy,"Our host Barbara made us feel most welcome. She was very friendly and most helpful, far beyond what we expected. Our room was spotless with everything we needed."
5306579,37907039,2015-07-11,37145178,Jocelyn,"Adam was very helpful throughout the duration of the trip -- from the moment of booking all the way to check out. He made himself available for quick reply and was always courteous and cordial in conversation. The home was very comfortable and charming and is located in a cute little neighborhood. We also appreciated the recommendations for ""things-to-do"" in the area he provided for us. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend and/or would stay here again!"
5306579,50439799,2015-10-12,28656047,Barbara,The place was awesome!!  Adam and his wife provided everything we needed for our stay. Thank you so much. We had a blast:)
3424259,25191832,2015-01-08,19741524,Clemence,Very pretty caravane ! Nice for a couple.
3424259,25336346,2015-01-12,25560065,Natalie,"My two cousins and I rented this camper for 2 nights.  The location was great and Angel was very accommodating! The area is really close to both East Austin and Downtown, giving you a plethora of options for both day and night.  Angel was so helpful as well, and gave us 5 fresh eggs from her chickens! 

The description of the camper is very accurate.  The second bed is definitely made for a child, or someone shorter than 5'.  The only thing I would add is that if you're planning on staying more than one night, or if there is more than one of you staying, make sure to coordinate with Angel so that the water tank can be filled/emptied in time for showers/running the sink. 

All in all, happy we rented! "
3424259,25930409,2015-01-30,803359,Esteban,"We had so much fun in Austin, and that was partly because of how accommodating Angel was. The camper was cute and cozy, but really comfortable. Angel was really nice and friendly, and suggested places to visit based on our tastes (we went to some of the best bars in Austin thanks to her suggestions). Angel even invited us to hang out with her (email hidden) one night, and we had a blast! Also, her home is walking distance from coffee, pizza, a small grocery store and Franklin Barbeque. I look forward to staying here again! Thank, Angel!"
3424259,26262173,2015-02-08,1825849,Carly,We stayed here for two nights and had a great time. Water temps and pressure were better than I expected for a camper. The camper is also sheltered by a garage so you're not sitting out in the middle of someone's yard. Would definitely stay there again. 
3424259,26474269,2015-02-13,2729586,Cortney,"We had a nice stay. Angel was super warm and welcoming. The accommodations are a little tight, but definitely suitable for a couple. The location is really good, near lots of cool restaurants and shops. The fresh eggs were a really nice perk :)"
3424259,26614403,2015-02-16,8347507,Fawna,We had an awesome time staying in Angel's cool little camper. She's a great and easygoing host (but always available when needed). Highly recommended!
3424259,26820319,2015-02-20,25420937,Tyler,Was a great time! 
3424259,27141472,2015-02-26,26025399,Joanne,Angel was a fantastic host. She really made us feel welcome. Had lots of great recommendations for cool neighborhood spots and the trailer was darling and just as advertised.
3424259,27359655,2015-03-02,26419908,Whitney,"Our stay was great. Angel was very accommodating and friendly. She even offered us coffee, tea, and breakfast that included fresh eggs from her hens. The camper was just as adorable as the pictures show. The bikes were great as well.  I'm glad we had them to get us around Austin. Everything was a short bike ride away and Angel had great suggestions on places to visit. If we didn't bike, there was also an ample supply of Uber drivers around. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone else."
3424259,27395968,2015-03-03,494823,Amber,"Angel was an amazing host. House is in a great location of Austin. We used the bikes and they were perfect. Camper was a bit tight for 3 adults, we had to use the washroom inside the house. Overall amazing experience and would book again with her! "
3424259,27714389,2015-03-10,21854726,Lauren,My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay in Angel's camper. It was such a unique living experience with the small space and chickens in the backyard. The place was so nicely furnished with Austin themed decor. She let us use her bikes for exploring the city and gave us great recommendations!
3424259,27817969,2015-03-12,11277421,Julie,"I loved everything about my stay from the amazing retro Shasta, to the chicken eggs and free bicycle, to angel's kindness and hospitality,  and the amazing neighbourhood. I highly recommend you stay here. "
3424259,28105324,2015-03-17,20038236,Elisabeth,"Angel was an amazing host. She had written out all instructions for arrival, use of the trailer, suggested places etc and it was SO HELPFUL. The trailer was adorable!"
3424259,28299328,2015-03-22,2503631,John,"What a great way to do Austin! Angel had chilled sparkling water and chips waiting for me when I arrived. She was very communicative leading up to my ""check-in"" and it all went smoothly.  We didn't run into each other until my 3rd day (I think?) and she was as nice as I figured and even had me in for popovers on Saturday morning!

The camper was comfortable and a nice place to relax at the end of a long day.  Showering was a bit of a task but not too bad. The bed was comfortable and a good size.

The neighborhood was great and it was an easy and nice walk to/from downtown.

I would absolutely recommend staying with Angel and would do so again in a heartbeat! "
3424259,28559993,2015-03-26,6390778,Denys,"I really enjoyed my stay in the camper. It was very comfy, and great for coming and going as you please. "
3424259,28931005,2015-04-01,9372056,Billy,"The Shasta trailer was great! Comfortable bed, refreshing outdoor shower, and close to a lot of great Eastside spots. Angel was very friendly and helpful. Would love to stay there again next time we're in Austin!"
3424259,29048005,2015-04-03,11970338,Joseph,Angel was a very personal and professional host. My sister and I really had a wonderful time at her property and the accommodations were comfortable. We borrowed her bikes and rode all over the city. I highly recommend being a guest of Angel's....
3424259,29402192,2015-04-07,5215434,Justin,"A fun place to stay in a great part of Austin. Angel is very responsive, friendly, and accommodating. She had bikes ready for us to take out when we arrived, and she was super understanding when I broke the key to the RV (long story). I'd definitely recommend. "
3424259,29843963,2015-04-13,4470815,Brenda Latvala,"I really enjoyed staying in Angel's camper. She made me feel very welcomed, and I enjoyed 4 nights ""urban camping."" 

The camper is very walkable to downtown or to some great food trucks. Just a few block walk to pizza you can purchase by the slice as well. And if you intend to wait in the long line for the Franklin Barbeque, well that is a short walk as well.

The only caution is that I think you will be most comfortable if you are on the short side. I am just 5'1"" and so I was completely fine with the bathroom/shower situation (it is a camper... think ""petite""!), but if you are a tall person think short bed and short shower. Honestly though, keep in mind you are in a camper, a really cool camper. And this is Austin, a very cool city.

Thanks again to Angel for offering up such a great experience. "
3424259,30297002,2015-04-20,28287411,Brandon,"What a great, first experience with airbnb! Angel was a wonderful host that made us feel welcome from the moment we made contact. She was incredibly helpful every step of the way and communicated clearly her expectations and recommendations. 

The accommodations were just what we wanted and we were even more pleased when viewed in person.  I felt like this was a uniquely Austin experience and that was just what we were after.   

Although the camper itself is very vintage in appearance the appliances and furnishings are modern and comfortable.  We made great use of the bluetooth enabled stereo system which along with a mini-fridge full of Lone Star led to a few impromptu dance parties.

The neighborhood is packed with great food, bars, boutiques, and is a quick trip to other parts of the city.  We particularly loved East Side Pies and the iced coffee from Sister Coffee which were 5-10 minute walks away.  

All in all, I highly recommend Roadside Attraction if you're looking for a unique and fun way to experience Austin.  We had a blast."
3424259,30769133,2015-04-27,413987,Andy,"This place is so on point I don't even know what to say!!! It's equivalent to or better than pics. Excellently responsive host who paid attention to every single detail. Cute decor, cozy memory foam situation on the bed, outdoor shower!, amazing garden for sitting!, super quiet neighborhood but close to lots of things (we had a car). "
3424259,30967127,2015-04-29,22335804,Tabitha,"Our stay with Angel was great! She arrived shortly after we did and we chatted for a while, she was was very friendly and accommodating. Everything we needed was provided and she even brought us some fresh eggs from her chickens— I had no idea she had chickens around until she mentioned it, no smell or noises. The place was clean, private, and super cute. We'd stay here again! "
3424259,31579225,2015-05-07,14043612,Amy,"Angel was great - very welcoming and informative. It's an adorable camper in great shape. It's a little small for more than 1-2 people, but I was there with my two daughters, so it worked out. Great location. Easy walk to the University and other attractions."
3424259,31905344,2015-05-11,11598981,Kelsey,"The roadside attraction definitely made our stay in Austin one to remember! It's in a perfect location in East Austin, close proximity to food and drink and everything else we wanted to be near. We had a blast staying in the trailer, and were so excited to come back to it every day. The outdoor shower was luxurious and the carport provided us with plenty of privacy and space. Angel stocked the trailer with everything to make camping feel glamorous, and we enjoyed our breakfast of fresh eggs from the chickens. It rained a lot while we were down there and it was nice to have easy access to a washer and dryer as well as a clothes line to hang our wet stuff. A huge plus was that Angel graciously had 3 bicycles for us to use, and we spent a day riding around the city and didn't have to worry about renting bicycles. I definitely recommend the roadside attraction to anyone who wants to have a different and more adventurous type of stay in Austin! "
3424259,32079093,2015-05-13,22576357,Frankie,"The place is nice and clean. The location is very convenient, like 10 minutes' drive to anywhere I visited. I would love to stay there again if I visit Austin again!"
3424259,32513968,2015-05-19,29329877,Alex,"Holy moly, this is exactly what I wanted. Close to everything and Angel was very sweet. I loved every aspect of it. From the chicken coop to the outdoor shower. She even had bikes that we were able to use. Obviously it's a trailer so it is a little small, but had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again."
3424259,33026182,2015-05-24,33035570,Emily,"We had such a great time staying in Angel's adorable camper! She had everything prepared for our stay; clean towels, extra shampoo, even a bowl of fresh eggs in the fridge! The bed was comfy and being in a protected area was great when the storms hit! This is a great location for exploring Austin. We never had to drive longer than ten minutes to get to our destinations around the city! I would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting a quiet, cozy stay while enjoying the city. "
3424259,33500596,2015-05-29,29259964,Cory,"What a great little place to stay! Perfect for any duo! 

Everything was as described. Angel was great, prompt at answering any and all questions any time of the day. 

We were visiting during the great flood of 2015. Although that dampened some of our plans, the accommodations kept us comfortable and dry for an entire week. 

The bikes were a great perk, however I would note not to go too far. They're not the most comfortable for distance rides.

Thanks Angel!"
3424259,35030084,2015-06-14,16155570,Lindsay,"The listing was accurate and the camper was very cute.  The location was super convenient to downtown and while the bikes were great to have, we ended up walking or opting for inexpensive Uber rides because the hills and heat were a bit much for us!  Angel was a great host and provided good info on things to do in the area, lent us some items to use out and about during the day, and had fresh eggs from the chickens waiting for our first breakfast.  The outdoor shower was fantastic and refreshing!

Cons for full disclosure:  The AC in the camper really does not keep up with the heat of the day, and it never really did fully cool for us until the middle of the night.  Fine if you just want a place to crash, not great if you want to spend any real time there.  Also, it's excellent the outdoor shower was available because the combo shower/toilet space inside the camper was really too cramped to be practical - as well as having a strange hot PVC/plastic smell (likely from the heat).

Overall, this was a fun quirky place to crash in Austin, with a great host.  If I did it again, I'd maybe go this route for part of the trip and go with a regular hotel for the remainder.  Or maybe stay when it's not so hot :)"
3424259,36133915,2015-06-25,20333722,Reem,"Loved the entire vibe of this place, the camper, the outdoor shower, the chicken in the backyard- totally hip and soo Austin-like. "
3424259,36427850,2015-06-28,33431751,Lizzy,We had a great stay! Angel left great instructions on how to use the camper and we were really comfortable. We crossed paths once during our stay and she was nice enough to give us a ride to Curra's (instead of taking an Uber). The outdoor shower was great in the hot weather. Thank you!!
3424259,36910819,2015-07-02,29950038,Brian,"Angel was a great host and provided a wonderful oasis for our stay in Austin. The camper was charming, chickens accommodating (Angel brought us fresh eggs each morning), and outdoor shower exhilarating. We chose to use the bicycles, local busses, and Uber to get around town, all of which were extremely easy and avoided the highways. For those looking to experience the real Austin culture, I would highly recommend this stay. We had a wonderful time meeting Angel too. She is generous and thoughtful and will take the time to get to know her guests. "
3424259,37792963,2015-07-10,22820706,Anthony,This was my first air bnb experience and Im glad I picked this posting. The campers ac was acting up and angel was quick to address the issue and allowed me to stay in another location on the same property.  I left some items and Angel held on for them for me and allowed me to come by and get them the next time I was in town.
3424259,38071411,2015-07-12,37371352,Cory,The roadside attraction was a cozy and fun place to stay in Austin!  It was central enough to walk and the outdoor shower and chickens made for a unique experience.   Angel was an excellent host and gave many great recommendations for the area.  We would definitely stay again.
3424259,38607820,2015-07-17,5254742,Abby,"We had a great time in the camper. Two people (and we are TALL) fit perfectly. The A/C works great and it had all the comforts of home. It was so easy for us to get around without having a car in this neighborhood. The east side is the coolest and we could walk to our favorite places. The best part of the stay was using her outdoor shower, an awesome invigorating feeling! "
3424259,39099006,2015-07-20,11786167,Vernon,"Perfect place to stay! Convenient, easy to find, not far away from attractions such as the Texas State Capitol(short Uber distance), Texas State Cemetery(10-15 min walking distance), GREAT food (Juan in a Million, The Silo on 7th) just to name a few. We had an Uber within 4 minutes request, and Angel was so friendly, helpful and accommodating! She gave many helpful suggestions and was a pleasure to just hang out with after her hard days work/our hard days sightseeing. The outdoor shower was amazing, huge rain head, we loved it. Clean, comfy, cozy little camper, completely satisfied, thanks Angel!

Made coming and going easy and convenient. The outdoor shower was also a life saver in the Austin heat. Would definitely recommend this Airbnb!"
3424259,40132887,2015-07-28,14405855,Vanna,"Angel was so welcoming and responsive to all my messages to her. 
The site has everything one would need.  Outdoor shower was great.
The stay was terrific and fun!  Location was perfect for exploring Austin's cool East Side, and for avoiding traffic congestion in the sprawl areas.  "
3424259,42325664,2015-08-12,39873006,Andrea,"Really great stay. Neighborhood is nice, easy bike to down town or a cheap uber ride. Outdoor shower is awesome! The ac in the camper kept us very comfortable even in the mid August heat. "
3424259,44617875,2015-08-27,38662172,Amy,"We really enjoyed staying at Angel's and it made our stay in Austin even more memorable! The camper is lovely and had everything we needed during our stay. The outdoor shower was a great way to cool down too. We never got to meet Angel but she was really helpful and answered any questions we had by email and provided lots of information about the camper. Location very good too, great to be able to walk to the bars and restaurants."
3424259,45568804,2015-09-04,15429754,Thomas,"Angel was a wonderful host, made us feel very welcome and was very helpful and even sent us some links and recommendations for what to do in Austin which was great. The listing was very accurate, the camper is fantastic. The not only with the decor but it is very comfortable as well. The neighbourhood is great, really friendly and safe with lots of great bars, shops and cafes near by. "
3424259,45960429,2015-09-07,21205579,Katy,"My husband and I stayed here for a few nights and had a great experience. The place is all it's cracked up to be, and then some. It's a very comfortable and unique experience, made even better by Angel's extra tips and special touches. Even the chickens out back we're welcoming. ;-)

It's in a great location with a ton of places to see right within a short walking distance. We even walked into downtown from here and enjoyed everything along the way. "
3424259,46759519,2015-09-13,38046016,Juliet,"We had a great time staying in Angel's trailer during our trip to Austin! The trailer was small, but comfortable, and definitely added a quirky layer to our trip. I highly recommend the outdoor shower! The Airbnb is super conveniently located -- it's about a 4 minute walk to the nearest Austin bCycle station and there are a bunch of cool shops/cafes/bars nearby. We only met Angel once, but she was very welcoming and accommodating. Definitely recommend this listing for anyone visiting Austin!"
3424259,47133490,2015-09-15,43306104,Raechel,"Great place. A real experience. Location is great. Angel is very accommodating. Was great having a washer and dryer as we are travelling and we had a lot of privacy. 
Tall people might find this a bit small. 
We loved it!"
3424259,48712379,2015-09-28,18053342,Lisa,We loved Angel's camper and would recommend it to anyone that wants unique accommodation while in Austin. It offered the right amount of privacy and community. We especially loved the outdoor shower and the chicken coop. Thanks again Angel!
3424259,50763064,2015-10-14,3297423,Yelena,"Angel was a gracious host.  I arrived early to Austin on my check-in day and she accommodated, making me feel welcome and at home immediately.  The Shasta is a MUST!  And it was incredibly comfortable.  Don't bother with the indoor shower, on a hot day, the outdoor shower (with hot water) is exceptionally refreshing...and the chickens will cheer you on!  For the location and value, there's nothing better!  Thank you Angel, I'll definitely be back soon!"
3424259,52272165,2015-10-27,30942479,Josh,"Angel's Roadside Attraction was quirky, charming and close to everywhere we wanted to be. We were on the go a lot, so unfortunately we didn't get to meet Angel, but her chickens did say hello. The outdoor shower was pretty terrific. "
3424259,52623531,2015-10-31,4266600,Zef,"What a cozy place! I'm so glad I stayed here instead of in a hotel or in someone's apartment. It was nice to have privacy but still have the host on hand in case I needed anything...which I did! It rained so hard while I was in Austin that the streets were all flooding, but Angel generously let me borrow her rubber boots so I could at least go catch a taxi to my conference without soaking my shoes. Angel really made me feel welcome, and gave me some good tips on local destinations. I also have to echo the other reviews that the outdoor shower is a really great feature of this place."
3005392,20798288,2014-10-05,2514070,Steven,"The condo on south congress was fantastic. It was located in a quiet area, but close enough to bike or walk to anything on congress or 1st. Cullen responded very quickly and was easy to contact if i needed anything. 
Very gracious host, I booked the condo for ACL and when I arrived he had put beer in the fridge, joes coffee, 5 hour energy, tea, and new rain ponchos on the counter for us in case of bad weather. Very thoughtful! the place looked like new inside and the bathroom was fully stocked in case you forget anything. I would 100% book agin and definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable stay at a great location."
3005392,21567717,2014-10-19,21230368,Yvette,"We had issues with our previously booked hotel the night before arriving in Austin.  Cullen was quick to respond when booking his condo and afterwards.  He gave me excellent recommendations when asked.(Try Bouldin Creek Café...I went twice)  The condo has an upgraded kitchen and bathroom.  Very clean!  New paint, hardwood floors.  Best part was great QUIET neighborhood but quick access to everything...downtown, South Congress and UT.  Would definitely book again."
3005392,21897877,2014-10-26,3355057,Paul,Everything was great.  Cullen's place was ready for us to arrive and he was very responsive if we needed anything.  Great location and I enjoyed the weekend.  
3005392,22599305,2014-11-10,6706311,Rashida,"Great experience in this well decorated apartment. I stayed for  2 weeks in Cullen's apartment, thus, I needed an apartment that was clean, accessible and comfortable. This apt met my needs. Check-in the apartment was easy. It was very clean , with a fully stocked kitchen and a bunch of trial size toiletries that came in handy. The mattress is comfortable and  I've even fallen asleep on the couch . Location is great for someone wants to experience the S. Congress area. Within walking distance are great restaurants, food trucks, and cafes on S. Congress,S1st and towards. S. Lamar. Buses can get you downtown in 20 mins door to door. I rented a car for a few days and noted that most of Austin is within 15 mins or less drive."
3005392,25664743,2015-01-22,23672781,Jennifer,"Cullen was extremely flexible with our last minute housing request and even worked with a short extension. The place has everything we could ask for, and he went above and beyond making us feel welcome right from arrival. He was also great about checking in with us throughout the stay. Would definitely stay here again!"
3005392,27176532,2015-02-27,2169302,Sarah,"Cullen's place is in a great location:)The apt was very neat and tidy, And I generally enjoyed my stay. I would have liked an overall apt. Document explaining the TV, laundry, mail, and etc. I was there for such a long time and I felt like I had to work for this information. I was a bit disappointed that the TV went in and out and only had like 3 channels. It was not relaxing and as such I barely used it. Also, the kitchen lacked basic essentials such as a chef knife, cutting board, and non toxic pots and pans. The pots and pans that he has gave a burning plastic smell, so I had to buy a large mixing bowl, chef knife, cutting board, and cast iron skillet. Cullen was available to ask questions and was always accessible and friendly. "
3005392,28121432,2015-03-18,6021529,Simon,Cullen is a good host. The location is very good. Place is clean and the bed is comfortable. We had an issue with the AC but he managed to solve it even though it was SXSW. I also got one night off for this.
3005392,29890493,2015-04-13,30808076,Katie,The place was awesome-great location and Cullen was very prompt in responding to my inquiry. I will be back!
3005392,30798859,2015-04-27,2535937,Simon & Sofia,"Our stay at Cullen's place couldn't have been better! He has kitted the place with all you need, and even put some extra treats in the bathroom like shaveing tools,soaps and deodorants. 
A really comfy bed, and the bedroom has a lot of extra space to put your (website hidden) unit, seiling fans in both rooms, all you need! The neighbourhood is calm and safe, and really close to South Congress which to us was the coolest street in Austin! 
We really recommend you to use Uber when you need a cab in Austin, we met a lot of nice people that way. We would love to use Cullen's apartment again!"
3005392,32700758,2015-05-20,6902337,Allison,"PROS: The condo was in a prime location.  There was so much to eat and do within walking distance, and the neighborhood itself was lovely to walk around in.  It was a very short drive (or like a $6 Uber ride) from tons of other great neighborhoods in town, and less than 20 minutes from the airport.  The apartment was updated, quiet, clean and (for a one-bedroom space) rather spacious.  The bed was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were very nice.  The kitchen had everything we needed to make a couple of meals at home.  We really appreciated the nice touches like having coffee and toiletries available, and Cullen was easy to work with.

CONS: The shower was extremely slow to drain, and something is wrong with the thermostat.  It doesn't work automatically; every hour or so you have to adjust it so that it blows cold air continuously (in which case it isn't sensitive to the temperature setting you program into it).  Otherwise it will kick on for about 10 seconds, off for 10, on for 10 etc., and I found either alternative to be annoying.  Also, on our first day there, the AC in the whole complex went out.  You do NOT want to be going to TX in the summer and lose AC.  However, the problem was resolved in less than 24 hours, which is pretty good given that the AC went out on a Sunday."
3005392,50274981,2015-10-11,16965625,Michael,"Pretty much as advertised.  Good spot, clean apartment, easy key pick up... No problems at all."
3005392,51115668,2015-10-18,29432464,Jennifer,"Cullen's place was a great place to stay in Austin. He was very quick to respond to our needs and it's perfect for things to do in the SoCo area and downtown Austin.  The description and pics are accurate, except the bedroom pics.  The room is actually bigger and the closet is so big you can do your ironing inside! Kitchen and bathroom were upgraded and Cullen had everything there that you will need.  There is laundry access and its just below the unit.  Great Court yard with red squirrels who were busy with their stashes for the winter. 
****Those of you not from TX, If you go Grocery Shopping, take your own Bags!!!  Cullen has some in the pantry in the kitchen*****
THINGS TO DO:
-Pete's Dueling Piano Bar - you'll have a blast and horse for 2 days after!
-S. Congress Message - Erin and Friends will take great care of you!
-S. Side Tattoo - Lots of experience, great artist and friendly
-Austin Duck Adventure - A tour of Austin like none other!
-Day trip to Fredricksburg, Hye and Stonewall wine country - you can't hit them all and make sure you have a DD!
-While in wine country, go to Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood - the Brisket is worth the detour!
-HopDoddy's - Great Hamburgers
-Amy's Ice Cream - delicious, rich and unique flavors
-Hoover's - Great Soul Food - we went 2xs
-Outlets @ San Marco - More shopping than you can handle! And if you dont find something, then you weren't really shopping!
- While in San Marco - go to the Grist Mill Restaurant in Gruene (pronounced green). 
-Austin Aquarium - Its not extravagant and go ahead and laugh at their location, but there are lots of animal varieties and the most interaction of any aquarium that I've ever been to.  Buy food for the Rays and they will follow you like hungry puppies! 
Enjoy your Stay - We did!!"
3005392,51646692,2015-10-22,20958686,Kunal,Was a very nice place. The SoCo neighborhood was really good. Cullen was really prompt in responding to questions and made sure the place is all set and ready before i arrived. Highly recommend it.

5447394,50624626,2015-10-13,36168835,Madeline,This apartment was a great location for our music festival adventures! It was a close uber ride to Zilker Park and the bar scene. The place was very clean and our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. They even generously provided a local beer for us to try and some snacks! 
5227831,28318666,2015-03-22,10923459,Vishan,"Excellent. The place was as advertised and what I needed at the time. I really liked the fact that you did the little things like soap, beer & bread being there which made me feel welcome."

The house is a 5 min walk to SoCo, and a great neighborhood to visit in Austin. Highly recommend staying, and will again. "
7090926,48640860,2015-09-27,34476169,Brian,"This is a truly fantastic location and place. It's a restored 2 bedroom place with AirBNB specifically in mind. One of the best we have stayed in. You're a 2-3 minute walk from SoCo and 1st, which is my favorite part of Austin. New air conditioner kept us nice and comfortable. Beds were comfortable (we only used 2 of the 3).  Very clean. Newly appointed with well chosen furniture and decor. Vineet was a fantastic host. "
7090926,50409494,2015-10-11,555593,Adam,"Great place, great location, everything very well set up for an easy comfortable stay. "
7090926,51368429,2015-10-19,10180884,Lauren,A wonderful bungalow that is very close to all great shops and restaurants on South Congress. The house was very clean and extremely quiet. 
7090926,52287957,2015-10-27,2565395,Andrew,We had to last minute min book a cottage stay in Austin for the F1 due to a mistake by our previous booking on VRBO and Vineet quickly replied and confirmed our last min booking. He described how to get into the property and made some suggestions for dinner all with in walking distance. The property is recently updated and improved and was greatly located in the area of SoCo that we wanted. The property is clean and freshly painted with on site parking. Perfect place and love the lightning bolt on Airbnb web site that allowed the instant booking. 
7090926,53089577,2015-11-04,9244444,Lily,"Vineet was extremely responsive, helpful and kind! The house pictures were 100% accurate and we can't wait to come back to Austin and re-rent Vineet's place! "
4205393,50618843,2015-10-13,3218467,Andrés,"Staying at Shawns was an amazing experience. The house is very cozy and comfortable.  Great space and location. The neighborhood is safe and the market across the street can be very useful, though. And, of course, being so close to the ACL festival and Zilker Park is the biggest plus ever! "
2790794,15099438,2014-07-02,15582943,Elizabeth,"The Hyde Park home was better than advertised, perfect neighborhood and location for my family,  who were in town from a variety of locations for a wedding. Very homey with a ton of Austin-ish character, not surprising since Sarah is an artist,  lots of comfortable space, not just for sleeping but for hanging out and relaxing. We actually had room to do some of the last minute wedding prep (flowers,  dinner menus for the reception, ect) at the extra large dining room table.The magnetic board with all the phone #'s, instructions ect was a huge help, as were the cute little tags on individual items around the house. Great upstairs deck off the master bedroom, for bird watching, and comfy porch swing on front porch. We all would have been happy to stay the whole summer for sure! "
2790794,15406187,2014-07-08,1292021,Ben,"The house was fantastic - extremely well organized, clean, and pleasant to be in. Sarah was also great helping us get everything arranged before our stay. I would definitely stay here again."
2790794,15832827,2014-07-16,17003752,Teresa,"The home was lovely and the neighborhood beautiful-as well as close to my son's home. We really had the opportunity to live Austin. The neighbors were kind and helpful. The host obviously had wonderful and loyal friends which says a lot! Sarah was very responsive to any questions or concerns. She had helpful information, tips, and instructions everywhere which was extremely helpful and made the experience positive. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend prospective guests to book this home."
2790794,23437850,2014-12-01,22481744,Dawn,"Sarah was very welcoming and an extremely gracious host.  Sarah was easy to reach with questions and left us plenty of detailed information about the house.  We made use of the kitchen, cookware, and dishes to make and serve a family meal.  We were so glad to find an affordable, warm, and inviting place for our large family to spend a holiday together.  It was a beautiful home.  Highly recommended, especially for animal lovers."
2790794,28168915,2015-03-19,6188707,Charles,"Two colleagues and I rented the house for SXSW Interactive and it was perfect! The neighborhood was pleasant and quiet, with a couple of restaurants, a bakery, and a grocery store a couple blocks away. The house was roomy, sunny, and pretty much as it is described in the listing.

Sarah was a great host, personable, and very responsive. The place was spotless when we arrived and she left us chips and local salsa along with some staples so we didn't have to shop from scratch to make meals. The wireless was good, the projector TV was neat, and the kitchen had all the cooking stuff/appliances we needed. 

The house is located roughly 3 miles north of downtown. I biked to SXSW every day -- it was an easy downhill through neighborhoods and the UT campus. I look forward to SXSW next year and hope I can rent Sarah's place again."
2790794,33256197,2015-05-26,3797983,John,"Sarah's house was extraordinary. We had a large group in town for a graduation. The house fit the bill. The dining room, with its natural light and large table, were perfect for a family gathering. The kitchen was large and charming. The entire home had a cozy, almost bucolic feel (complete with chickens in the backyard). The perfect way to experience Austin. Thanks, Sarah!"
2790794,37464082,2015-07-07,5161725,Avimaan,"This place is absolutely amazing! It's spacious and beautiful and exactly the kind of house I wished I owned if I lived in Austin. 

It easily sleeps eight and we couldn't have asked for more. Sarah was an awesome host that took time to show us everything about her wonderful house. Really, this place is an absolute winner!"
5105452,49676524,2015-10-05,44255776,Thomas,"Emma greeted me with a warm welcome. The room had everything we needed for our weekend at ACL. Easy to locate, quiet neighborhood, and a comfy bed. 

Thanks Emma!"
5105452,50109432,2015-10-09,44626924,Joyce,Emma was a wonderful hostess . She made sure we had what we needed upon arrival.  We has flown all day and were tired and thirsty.  We were checking in and forget to stop for waters. Emma provided water bottles so that we could rest before going out.  The room was clean and comfortable.  I would highly recommend this place if you are traveling to Austin.  
5105452,50454098,2015-10-12,11555477,Laura,"Emma was very communicative, accommodating, and greeted us warmly.  The room itself was very clean, with plenty of space, and had everything we needed!  With the pullout couch, the room fit three of us comfortably.  The room also has its own entrance, so we could come and go as needed without feeling like we were disturbing anyone.  Great place to stay, only a 15-20 min drive to downtown Austin!"
5105452,51258870,2015-10-18,35228088,Rachel," Emma's house was very clean and easy to find. We did not see her because we came in so late, but she had provided us with all the basics. Great experience!"
5105452,51915717,2015-10-25,28256297,Patricia,"Emma's suite was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Her listing and pictures are an accurate reflection of the suite. On arrival I called Emma for entrance instructions which were thru the garage and into its own private locked entrance.  It provided complete privacy.  The bed was very comfortable so I had two good nights sleep. I enjoyed a cup of Keurig coffee each morning.  Emma lives in the home however my schedule didn't allow me to meet her.  Staying in Emma's suite was a nice alternative to a hotel room.  "
6389266,33614768,2015-05-30,24600337,Joseph,"The hostess always made sure that I can get into her building and room. Even she was not at Austin, she asked her roommates to pass the key to me and tell me all those awesome Austiny things. Her room was pretty nice and clean. This was my first time being in Austin, which left me amazing and beautiful memory for everything about Austin. Generosity, kindness and smile ... I love this city and people there sooo much."

6094751,44105528,2015-08-24,8870267,François,"Beth and her husband were gracious and helpful hosts, and the location on SoCo (South Congress) was ideal: very quiet but just a short way to restaurants and bars in South Austin. The room was just like the photos and extremely well insulated for sound. Nice bathroom, and wonderfully equipped kitchen available for cooking. All in all, a very enjoyable long-term stay. "
6094751,49108434,2015-10-01,11334768,Chantal,"We can't say anything but positive about Beth and Adam, being our hosts for a whole month. They were our first steps into the US, after moving here from Europe. Beth is amazing, talkative, helpful, funny and very very tolerant. She let us use the whole house including kitchen and address to register ourselves. Adam is the funniest guy I've ever met, his sarcasm might be a little European :) He kept introducing us to useful people, apps, websites and organisations... And he was our honest test-case for our cookie business. Seriously guys, thanx for all the help and patience!!! And ow, of course, the house is amazing, the roommate Miss D upstairs even nicer and the location just couldn't be any better!! Definitely recommend!"

It is well equipped with the basics such as the washer dryer, dish washer, TV, basic bathroom linen/toiletries etc. Very comfortable place. The building is at a great location! Great food and theaters, groceries etc at walkable distance. Gym and pool and coffee in the lobby are great additions! I had a great time. "
5891797,33273204,2015-05-26,25220445,Samantha,Joel was a great host and the apartment was fantastic! Three of us stayed there for a weekend with our dog and really enjoyed it. Joel was very helpful and responsive to our inquiries and requests. The place itself is in a really nice building and centrally located. Highly recommended for business or pleasure travel in Austin! 
8593705,49737336,2015-10-05,2598034,Sunnie,"Kandace's apartment off of South Congress was the perfect place for us to stay and enjoy a weekend at ACL! The apartment was super, super clean, and you can't beat the location of this pad. Kandace even left some cute flowers on the table for our arrival and we couldn't have been more pleased with this place. As an airbnb host myself, I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone staying in Austin :)"
8593705,50691888,2015-10-13,27486751,Kyle,Kandace was a phenomenal host. She was very accommodating prior to my arrival for ACL weekend with a detailed itinerary of things to do and what was close by. The place is exactly as advertised with more than enough space for 2-4 people. I will for sure be contacting Kandace again if I ever make my way back up to Austin.
8593705,51351674,2015-10-19,45398964,Elyse,Kandace's apartment in the South Congress area of Austin was a perfect location for a variety of activities within the city. A short drive to everything!

I would very much suggest this apartment to someone looking to stay right in the heart of Austin!
8593705,52249582,2015-10-27,45346613,Andy,"Great apartment at a wonderful location and a very conscientious host.

The apartment is a short walk to downtown Austin and is great not only for the F1 GP that we came to visit but for all the events and nightlife of Rainey Street and 6th street in downtown Austin (not to mention the local bar Ego's).

The apartment is a nice size and has good sized kitchen and dining area (although we didn't use it) the apartment block has water and dryer facilities which was a god send."

Stayed during race weekend, when hotels were charging between (phone number hidden) per room per night.  At $60/night, very lucky find!"

2453663,31893886,2015-05-11,7679806,Marin,"We really enjoyed our stay with Morgan. He is a great host - very responsive and helpful. We felt as we were visiting an old time friend :). We came in Austin to attend Austin Psych Fest so location was really close to nearby shuttle buses and festival itself, which was really nice in case you're using a taxi to get around. House is nice, and backyard is perfect to chill and grab a beer afternoon. Overall, we had a great time here! "

See you again"

2453663,45910711,2015-09-06,21394740,Claudia,"I had a great time at Morgan's. Felt very comfortable, no problems at all. Irene was very welcoming would definitely stay again! :)"
2453663,46358410,2015-09-09,18108772,Piero,"The best Airb2b experience you will ever had. 

The host was very accommodating to my disabled mother and the guest bed is hotel quality (I would know, I work at a mattress store.) 

The place felt like a home away from home. "
2453663,46847699,2015-09-13,6971877,Ashleigh,Great stay with Morgan!! So friendly and helpful and the room was spacious and light! Would recommend this to anyone who has a rental car. Though ubers were cheap to town as well. GREAT air bnb
2453663,47862763,2015-09-21,21285589,Alex,Awesome hosts with a beautiful home. Very comfortable stay and close to all the sights in Austin. Will definitely look you guys up for my next trip to town!
2453663,48640001,2015-09-27,44787169,Edward,"My stay in Austin was very nice, enhanced by a pleasant place to stay and the hospitality of Morgan and Irene.  The neighborhood is attractive, close to the airport and downtown, the bedroom was very comfortable, the bathroom was clean and had fresh towels for my use. Thanks again!"
2453663,50419626,2015-10-11,46165401,Ruth,This was my first time using this app or ever doing something of this nature. I was a little scared at first not knowing the outcome. I downloaded the app and began my search trying to find somewhere affordable and close by all the festivals going on in Austin for just a weekend. I was very happy and pleased when i ran across Morgans room he was renting out. The house is very peaceful and was clean. The room itself was very spacious and had a nice size closet. It was me and a friend staying for two nights and we were both pleased in the presentation and hospitality. I would definitely recommend Morgans room to others.  I have no negative remarks nor feelings about my stay. Thanks so much to Morgan and his wife.
2453663,51253233,2015-10-18,29187451,Marc,This was our first experience with airbnb and we could not have had a more pleasant and accommodating host. The location is only a few minutes from downtown yet it is in a quite neighborhood .   House and room was spacious and clean. Thanks Morgan 
2453663,52668298,2015-10-31,38601535,Rich,"Morgan and Irene were the best hosts ever - made me feel welcome, helped me get coordinated with the area, gave me some fine recommendations. Nice people, great location between airport and the city - a good time was had!

354263,1000569,2012-03-14,184034,Lauren,This is a gorgeous and cheery space. Lots of character. We had some problems with the wi-fi but survived. lovely spot good location and interesting space. Snacks and Bottled water made a huge difference esp. on our first jetlagged night. and I loved the futon bed space very cozy! 
354263,2688196,2012-10-22,3598938,Phillip,"The rental was as advertised and  pictured. Spacious, clean and decorated  in that eclectic and charming ""South Austin"" style you would hope for. Gretchen , the hostess. was very accommodating  and gracious. The rental's  location was perfect for  us.  The yard  is  great  if you bring  your dog as we  did. Betty and Repo, Gretchen's dogs, are very sweet and  welcoming as well."
354263,3133447,2012-12-22,382510,Christina,"While working on a film production here in Austin, we needed housing for one of our costume designers Karen. I, personally, found Gretchen to be most cooperative, kind and easy to work with during the booking process(and throughout Karen's stay for that matter!) and had total faith that Karen's stay would be wonderful. Below is Karen's review:

""I recently stayed at this guest house for a few months while working in Austin. The house itself is immaculate, cozy and quiet. You can't beat the location in South Austin. Its a short walk to great restaurants, shopping and nightlife on South Congress. The property owner, Gretchen and her two friendly dogs,  are very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend this guest house for an authentic Austin stay.""

Both Karen, myself and other crew members all hope to work with Gretchen again in the future and would absolutely recommend her as a phenomenal host and her stylish home as the perfect place to stay : )"
354263,3191703,2012-12-30,4449056,Dana,"As a chef and his family traveling to Austin to ""eat"" our way around the city, this place was perfect!  Located just a few blocks from 1st Street and a few more from South Congress,we found ourselves centrally located.  The cottage is a cool, creative space, everything was great.  Very comfortable bed for us and a nice day bed for our 12 year old daughter who also loved host, Gretchen's, adorable little dogs.  Full kitchen, nice bathroom, unique design...we always sleep better when surrounded by original art.  Gretchen is a friendly, sweet soul.  We look forward to staying in this cottage on our next trip to Austin.  
Ate at:  Lenoir, Barley Swine, Congress Cafe, Uchiko, Easy Tiger, Olivia, Home Slice, 24 Diner and a bunch of trucks and trailers in the various locations.  "
354263,3463651,2013-02-03,4323249,Chad,I spent an entire month here with my two dogs. It was perfect. Bright light. Arty. Cheery. Feels bigger than it is. Big yard. Private. Great location. Gretchen was very accommodating. And her dogs are very friendly. I hope to stay here again on my next visit. 
354263,3585512,2013-02-19,4897113,Susan,"Gretchen's apartment was as bright, colorful and funky as the pictures! We loved it and will stay there again. The place was cozy and comfortable and Gretchen was a great host."
354263,3648294,2013-02-27,2261514,Angela,"Nice, clean comfortable space in a great location within walking distance of clubs on Lamar and Congress. The guest house offered plenty of privacy and our host was easy to work with and helpfully provided suggestions on nearby restaurants and coffee shops. "
354263,3779209,2013-03-14,355134,Jerry,Loved this house. All of us that stayed there found the place to be charming and exactly what we were looking for. I would definitely book it again. 
354263,3841480,2013-03-19,1690206,Anthony,"Gretchen has quite the amazing spot in quite the amazing part of town. Only a five minute walk to 1st Street, which has countless options for trendy/ artsy coffee, food and drink. Back at the studio you'll be pampered with an awesome interior, with full kitchen and everything else you'd need in a personal sanctuary. I highly suggest this spot and hopefully as a guest you'll be lucky enough to chat it up with Gretchen as she's a great person and a benevolent host. "
354263,4002835,2013-04-02,5214631,Kurt,"Gretchen's guest house was a perfect fit for my visit and a great base for any trip to downtown Austin. The location is excellent, the property is beautiful, and the guest house is well appointed and spacious. Gretchen is very cool and easy going, but is on the ball when she needs to be- she warned me well in advance of some unavoidable inspectors coming to look at something the next day (which didn't interfere anyway, I was out). This is a perfect location if you're renting bikes like I did since it's just a few minutes ride to South Congress, about 10 minutes to 6th street, and 15-20 to the east side, all while being tucked away and quiet. Would definitely come back."
354263,4083375,2013-04-08,5538443,Carla,"This is true gem in Austin.  I would stay here a million times over! Gretchen is super welcoming and I literally felt ""at home"" after about 20 minutes into the stay.  The house is incredible and Gretchen has a great eye at decorating, so much so, I asked her a few places of where she shops and she obliged.  She is super knowledgeable about Austin and she even helped us unload our car into the rental.  I will definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Austin.  Much better than a hotel!! "
354263,4187650,2013-04-16,1221392,Joe,Great little place. Clean and brightly colored. Nice neighborhood and close to South Congress. Gretchen was a gracious host. Can't really ask for more! We'd stay here again.
354263,4270406,2013-04-23,5532697,Quinn,"Gretchen's guest house was an amazing place to stay. It was close to a ton of great stuff in SoCo and she had great recommendations for restaurants, shops and cool things to do. She also waited up for us the night of our arrival despite our flights being severely delayed. Her dogs are the cutest too! I would definitely stay here again, hopefully for a little longer next time! :)"
354263,4343702,2013-04-29,5743939,Crystal,"We had a wonderful stay in Gretchen's guest house.  Such a clean space with lots of character. The location was extremely convenient to get to the park, downtown and South Congress.  I'll be looking for an excuse to visit Austin again just so I can stay here again!"
354263,4649353,2013-05-18,1772964,Jonny,"This place is terrific - it has everything you need to be comfortable and is in walking distance to lots of good cafes, food trucks and other fun things. The river isn't far either, and there's a great running/walking trail down there. 

Gretchen is a real nice person - really easy to coordinate with, responsive if we needed anything, and fun to chat with. The dogs are  friendly and sweet and caused no fuss.

We'd stay again for sure!

"
354263,4681588,2013-05-20,5744286,Kate,Gretchen was a fabulous hostess!  I stayed for a weekend with my husband and our toddler. We loved the space as well as the location. Gretchen's place was so cute and very clean!  She left us with some coffee and teas for the mornings and offered suggestions for local places to go. Would definitely recommend!
354263,5009070,2013-06-07,5101463,Emily,"Lovely, perfectly ""Austiny"" spot. Great, gracious host with 2 adorable dogs. Beautiful neighborhood very close to everything. I would recommend to anyone."
354263,5117717,2013-06-13,2867371,Thomas,"We really enjoyed our stay at Gretchen's guest house. Gretchen was very communicative. Her guest house was roomy, there was lots of light it, and it was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. A few specifics, the bed was comfortable, the shower was big and the apartment was very clean. Did i mention there was a dishwasher? Or the wonderful decorations? Or the great location? Gretchen is also a hoot. She gave us good recommendations, local insight, and a few laughs along the way. If you're in Austin don't miss out. Stay at Gretchen's."
354263,5191556,2013-06-17,2979972,Marina,"The house looked exactly as it did in the photos and was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Our dogs loved playing in the big fenced in yard with Gretchen's dogs. Gretchen was was a perfect host. I would highly recommend staying here."
354263,5245466,2013-06-20,671334,Caroline And Aleks,"Gretchen's guest house was a lovely place to call home in Austin!  It was lovingly decorated, comfortable and in a great neighborhood.  It also comes with a wonderful host (Gretchen) and, if you're a dog lover (which we are), two great dogs to pet while you're sitting outside having coffee or enjoying the lovely plant life in Gretchen's backyard."
354263,5457716,2013-07-01,4160722,Alley,Gretchen's home was perfect for my visit to Austin. I really loved how colorful the space was. The place was centrally located  making sight seeing easy. Gretchen was very easy going and helpful. Her two dogs were lovely. I would definitely stay here the next time I'm in Austin.
354263,5565197,2013-07-06,561899,Michele,"Gretchen's place was absolutely perfect for our Austin stay. Her rental home is filled with style and charm and the location was convenient for both exploring the SoCo neighborhood on foot as well as further afield by car. 

She was very accommodating and responsive and it was quick and easy to make the booking and get everything arranged for our stay. I would highly recommend this little Austin bungalow for a great vacation spot. Gretchen provides great hospitality - she even gave us some beer that her previous guest had left behind! We would definitely stay here again. Cheers, Gretchen!"
354263,5976980,2013-07-24,7558299,Joshua,Gretchen (and Betty and Repo) is a tremendous host.  From the moment you get into town Gretchen will try and make your stay as enjoyable as possible.  Her house is centrally located for any activities on the main strips of SoCo and South 1st.  Also just a short way from Zilker; I really can't reccomend it enough.  Thanks Gretchen!
354263,6195731,2013-08-03,6867715,Dale,"I stayed at Gretchen's guest house for a week and I believe I couldn't have found a better place to feel like an Austinite. What a funky, cool, comfy place to stay! It is close to my favorite places in Austin, namely South Congress, South 1st, Barton Springs and the 2nd street district. 
As other reviewers stated, Gretchen is there when you need her and not there when you don't. You feel like it is your place without having to see anyone other than Betty and Repo (the dogs), if that is what you want. I was thrilled with the dogs because I had a dog at home whom I missed and Betty was like a rent-a-dog for me. Repo was a bit aloof and wasn't as affectionate as Betty, but cute and non-aggressive non-the-less. Betty had good manners and wouldn't come in the house if not invited. I know I am going on and on about the animals but for me they meant a lot and were the icing on the cake! 
The house is just perfect and very clean and well stocked. We even cooked a lasagna dinner one night. (We bought disposable foil pans for that). My friend stayed the first 4 days with me and then I was alone. I felt completely safe and just loved coming home to ""my place"" after walking the streets of Austin. On my last night, I hung with Gretchen, who is very interesting and very knowledgeable about Austin. 
In my opinion this is the place to get the best bang for your buck! I miss the place and it's inhabitants already and I hope to see them again soon."
354263,6420257,2013-08-12,6018880,Kait,"What a great little Austin gem! If you are looking for the 'local' (ie - not touristy!) Austin experience, you'll want to book this place or Gretchen's bigger house for your vacation. We loved the lofty studio guest house. Full of Southern-fried charm + colour - we loved having it as our home base as we explored the city. Gretchen is super nice + her two dogs are adorable! Wi-fi was super reliable and she has just about everything to make yourself at home! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy place to stay in Austin. Thank you, Gretchen!"
354263,6687115,2013-08-21,7283361,Nancy,"My adult daughter and I stayed in Gretchen's Funky Little Guest House for a few days while in Austin last month.
We absolutely loved it! Loved the retro style, the peacefulness, and the location.  The space was immaculate and well appointed. 
We had rented a car at the airport, but found that we didn't need to use it on the days spent exploring the city of Austin.
Our favorite part of the city was that which was right on our doorstep and/or a short walk away along the S. Congress corridor. Sort of a Bohemian/Hip feel...  
Lots of interesting choices for dining at all price points, interesting shops and met some interesting people in this neighborhood.
I highly recommend Gretchen's Funky Guest House and would not hesitate to stay here again should my future travels include a journey to Austin.
Thank you, Gretchen! for your warm hospitality...

PS: BTW, I would give my eye teeth for that chaise longue in the LR.  I have never ever seen such a wonderful thing(!); it offers some serious R and R!!!!!! I believe that you have my address should you decide to make the gift of it to me... Not sure that the USPS has a big enough flat rate box for it, however. : ( / : ) 
"
354263,6767446,2013-08-24,542552,Nina,"Gretchen's spot was so bright and lovely. A wonderful place to land for a few days and explore nearby S. 1st and SoCo strips from. Was there with a friend on a book tour and we felt truly spoiled to come home to such a colorful, clean, fun, and quiet space every night. Gretchen was responsive, super friendly, and really low-key about us coming and going. Really felt like we had our own little oasis, but she was always quick to respond to any replies and super knowledgable about the area, its history, and spots to check out. Will definitely book again when I come back to Texas. Love this place.  "
354263,6990345,2013-09-02,3852723,Brianna,"Out stay in Austin was totally amplified by our experience at Gretchen's place -- it was more than enough space for two, kept cool in the 106 heat, fully functional kitchen to use when needed, and convenient location to be able to come / go as needed (definitely need a car though to be able to get around with ease).

100% recommend her place to any and all ATX visitors! "
354263,7403752,2013-09-18,5337402,C,"We loved staying at Gretchen's.  The place was absolutely perfect for us. It looks just like the photos -- so bright and cheery.  It was quiet and in a good location near running paths and many of the cities best restaurants.  Thank you Gretchen for hooking us up!  We would absolutely stay with you again!
"
354263,7578970,2013-09-25,735701,Isabelle,"Such a great place to stay in Austin! Gretchen was very helpful and gave us the best recommendations. The house is also right by the bus that takes you downtown or within walking distance of tons of food, music and shopping on South 1st and South Congress. If you're staying here make sure to go to Bouldin Creek Cafe for breakfast at least one morning!"
354263,7699084,2013-09-30,2769620,Stefania,"We loved to stay in Gretchen's guest house! The kitchen has everything you need. The house is decorated very nicely and Gretchen is a very nice host and we loved her two dogs.
I highly recommend staying at this place.
"
354263,7817182,2013-10-04,5335375,Elizabeth,"My husband and I LOVED staying in Gretchen's guest house.  First of all the location is amazing, close to everything Austin has to offer.  Second the accommodations were impeccably clean and oozed with personality.  On top of that Gretchen was an ideal host along with her two dogs (Betty and Repo).  She is responsive and super friendly.  I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you want an ""authentic"" Austin experience.

Thanks Gretchen, Betty, and Repo for making our stay so memorable.  See you all next time we are in Austin!


"
354263,8038033,2013-10-14,542756,Madeleine,"House was so cute and Gretchen was wonderful! Lots of space, great location. Minutes from SOCO and South 1st. Would def recommend for ACL, SXSW, or FFFfest. Fully equipped kichen/bath. Plenty of space for guests. Totally would love to rent the big house next time when we come with a larger party. 10/10 would rent again! "
354263,8193401,2013-10-20,8733780,Susan,"This funky guesthouse is my new favorite place to stay in Austin!  As a visual person, this adorable guesthouse is eye candy.  I found myself choosing to stay in rather than go out just because I liked it so much.  The attention to detail, color, and comfort is outstanding.  I love the tall ceilings, the big open space, and most of all - the amazing recliner that vibrates.  What a way to relax after a long trip!  I will definitely be back!"
354263,8257389,2013-10-22,3540193,Michelle,"Everything about this place was great. Gretchen was waiting for us when we got in at about 7:30pm one weekday evening, and so were her dogs Betty and Repo - so cute! The apartment is in a studio in the back of Gretchen's property, behind a house and another small studio. 

I think Gretchen's breakdown of who can stay in the place is accurate. The apartment was very comfortable for 2, and would be ok for 4 who were comfortable sharing the same bathroom. 6 might be pushing it.

The house is a great location - close to shopping on South Congress, eating at Polvo's, food trucks, or Elizabeth's Banh Mi. Stay here, you won't regret it. "
354263,8447360,2013-10-31,1034243,Joanna,"Staying at Gretchen's guest house was a pleasure!  Gretchen was extremely welcoming and communicative. She even treated us to the most delicious donuts!  The location is ideal and in a delightful neighborhood. The beau and I enjoyed riding our rented bikes around to check our all the neat houses. I wholeheartedly recommend staying at the guest house. We also enjoyed our daily snuggle visits with Betty!
"
354263,8629656,2013-11-09,1362859,Leah,"Staying at Gretchen's SOCO Guest House was simply fantastic. If you are deciding between places, or looking at hotels, stop—definitely stay here! For starters the decor is incredible, the place could be in a magazine. It's mid century modern meets Texas and the light is gorgeous, I had a hard time tearing myself away to leave for the day! The pictures on this site are good, but it's even better and feels bigger in person (very roomy for someone coming from NYC). Second, the location is really, really great. I had stayed on South Congress during a previous visit but Gretchen's location is better. I loved being able to walk to South Lamar, South First, AND South Congress. I felt like I saw much more of Austin than I had previously. In fact, I did the whole thing on foot without renting a car. When I wanted to go further afield the bus system was a snap and one of the major ones stops 30 seconds from her place. I am a serious walker, and I did also walk to the bars and coffee shops in East Austin as well as to the Broken Spoke. Lastly, Gretchen is a very warm and friendly host and it was great talking about Austin with a native. Bonus: her dogs are adorable and well-trained, and this is coming from a ""cat person."" My stay was ideal. I would highly recommend it. "
354263,8876692,2013-11-23,657432,Haley,"The SOCO Artist's Funky Guest House was fun; I enjoyed the decor and bright colors. I had to drive around the block a couple of times before I found the place (it was dark and rainy, so that didn't help), but otherwise the process was smooth. The location is convenient to many of Austin's attractions."
354263,8969969,2013-11-29,2424658,Hannah,"Gretchen's place is truly amazing! It is one of the best airbnb experiences I have ever had. The actual guest house is set up perfectly! The set up is super cool. I loved Gretchen's decorations! The bed was comfy and there is so much room! 
The neighbourhood could not be more ideal. This is in such a good area of Austin! 

Gretchen was a great host! She made sure we had everything we needed and answered all our questions! She was very easy to communicate with. 

It was a perfect airbnb and a perfect Austin experience."
354263,9136306,2013-12-09,6818912,Anne-Marie,"My friend and I arrived in Austin during a freezing spell in Austin. Luckily the cabin we rented was well heated and very cozy! Beds are comfortable, clean bathroom with fluffy towels and well stocked kitchen if you need to cook. Walking distance to South Congress and coffee shop behind the house. Definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Austin!
"
354263,9202082,2013-12-13,547194,Gail,"Gretchen's place is so cheery and inviting. We loved the riot of color, and the location, which was quiet but close to shops and restaurants. Gretchen made us feel right at home. Highly recommended!"
354263,9256796,2013-12-16,7088082,Blossom,"This was our first Airbnb experience, and it couldn't have gone better. Gretchen accommodated our late check-in request and gave us a tour of the guest house. Her place is in a great location for exploring. It was quiet and very private, and we loved the decor. The kitchen was well-equipped, and there were nice books about the area provided. Repo was a brown streak that occasionally ran past the door, while Betty visited daily. Overall, everything was great and hopefully future Airbnb experiences will go as well as this one."
354263,9929596,2014-01-20,9543214,Erika,"I am so looking forward to staying here again! Gretchen is such a sweet host, and her little doggies Betty and Repo are an amazing bonus.

The guest house is so charming and super clean. And I loved how private it felt with the outdoor area and being a detached guest house. 

The location is ideal. I walked everywhere from Gretchen's place. Just blocks away is 1st St and then South Congress. It's easy to rent bikes on South Congress at self-service stations, and the bus is super easy if you are not a biker. There is a direct bus to the Broken Spoke just blocks away, and I easily took a 2 min bus ride to downtown. Just pull the bus routes on Google maps...Life changing. And yes cabs are everywhere too.

Random, but good...Amazing water pressure in the shower! 

Thank you Gretchen for making us feel so comfortable and sharing your sweet guest house! "
354263,10080900,2014-01-29,1173654,Jillian,"I've been hiding from the Extreme Winter up North for a spell and I have really enjoyed my stay in Gretchen's guesthouse.  It's everything one would want in a guest house and Gretchen is a great host.  It's within walking of #5 bus right to the capital (and surrounding hotspots) and also So. Congress and S. 1st and all it's trailers, restaurants, shops, etc. is within walking too.  Thai Fresh coffee shop around the corner has great vegan coconut ice cream and gluten free baked goods (whether or not you are vegan, it's tasty). The dogs Betty and Repo are adorable and Gretchen and I are like minded individuals; we had several great conversations.

In a nutshell, you will find everything you need for a great stay in Austin; a comfy bed with memory foam topper, lots of hanging space for clothes, good water pressure, good HVAC, a functional kitchen, and private outdoor space for morning coffee or evening cocktail.  Way better than a hotel people.

Great experience...I will return soon! "
354263,10232125,2014-02-08,11209731,Vicki,"Our first time using AirBnB; also our first time in Austin. Both experiences were great. If we get the chance to come to Austin again I would certainly stay in Gretchen's guesthouse again. It was very cold last week when we stayed but her place was both warm and cheery. It looks smaller in the pictures then it actually. A tv would have been nice, to see the weather if nothing else."
354263,10446008,2014-02-19,7450502,Kim,"Gretchen's guest house is an Austin gem. As a previous Austinite looking to share a girls weekend it was ideal. The studio plus bedroom was spacious, well appointed, and had enough space for even 4 to sleep.  The grounds were great, we read out in the sun by the fire pit, snacked on the picnic table, and cuddled with her two adorable pups. 

It's all within walking distance to Uchi, Odd Duck, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Torchy's and the shops on S. Congress! We loved it.  We will definitely be back. "
354263,10516434,2014-02-23,11724761,Sarah,"This was my first stay using Air BnB, and I loved it!  Gretchen is a gracious, kind, and welcoming host.  Her SoCo Guest House is beautiful, clean, and the perfect base for exploring Austin.  The neighborhood she lives in is within walking distance to many different Austin hot spots.  Also, Gretchen has two adorable puppies, which make her house feel even more cozy.  I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone!"
354263,10691043,2014-03-03,549421,Paige,great location and comfortable flat.  The pictures represent the space well. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The coffee shop behind Gretchen's flat has the most amazing vegan breads!
354263,10917072,2014-03-13,1454919,Carl Adam,"Had a great stay a the guest house during SXSW. Not a problem for three people to share, during a shorter stay!"
354263,11067026,2014-03-18,12907669,Jade,This house was amazing ! It's in a great area and the house is equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Gretchen is awesome and is really great at making sure you are comfortable. 
354263,11216603,2014-03-25,11668921,Cecilia,"We had a wonderful time staying at Gretchen's Guest House. It is in a peaceful neighborhood with lots of really interesting restaurants and food carts within easy walking distance. Downtown Austin only a short bus ride away. We loved being visited by Gretchen's two small dogs, Betty and Repo."
354263,11329163,2014-03-30,1489783,Lilyan,"Gretchen's place is fantastic.  She is a lovely (website hidden) you space if you want it but is a phone call away for questions or anything you need. The shower is great, the place is perfectly clean and quiet. Her place is cozy, adorable, colorful and situated in the middle of SOCO, a stone's throw from amazing restaurants and shops. We attended a conference at one of the hotels downtown and just didn't want to stay in the hotel.  I am so glad I didn't!  Bus stops are close, and service is reliable and convenient.  You could actually walk downtown, or most anywhere, if you are ambitious. Austin is even more wonderful than I expected and Gretchen's place made it a wonderful visit. I can't wait to come back and stay there again!"
354263,11397832,2014-04-01,11655005,Catherine,"Gretchen's place is fantastic.  It's bright, comfortable, and located in a great neighborhood.  From her place, we could easily get to South Congress, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Zilker Park, and downtown via walking or bus.  The location really is perfect, and the interior delightful.
And of course, most importantly, Gretchen was quick to respond to all correspondence before the trip and warmly invited us to Texas when we arrived.  "
354263,11611616,2014-04-09,5214978,Bruce & Shannon,"You couldn't find a better South Austin experience. Gretchen's place has a wonderful relaxed atmosphere with all the comforts of home. The location is walking distance to most of south Austin's most popular restaurants and shops. Having grown up in Austin, it was great to reminisce with Gretchen who has a similar perspective on the city's development. We would highly recommend the chance to stay in this artistically designed gem, and get a locals perspective of south Austin Texas.
"
354263,11707941,2014-04-13,10862061,Saskia,"we loved staying at gretchen's guest house. everything was great, just as described. gretchen was very nice and easy about leaving our bags at check out day. the location was perfect for us. lots of nice places and cool bars and food trucks in walkable distance as well as easy bus rides to downtown etc. and a nice coffee place in the back of her house. austin is pretty cool and we'll definitely be back and for sure we would stay in gretchen's guest house again."
354263,11798658,2014-04-15,12647122,Robin,"We enjoyed our stay at Gretchen's SOCO Artist's Funky Guest House this past weekend. The guest house is very spacious. The beds are comfortable, shower is great, and it was very nice to have the full kitchen. The location is wonderful, walking distance to many different shops, dining and fun establishments. Gretchen is a wonderful hostess and her pups are so sweet. : ) I wanted to pack up Repo and take him home with me. I am already planning a return trip with my hubby for the summer. "
354263,11934838,2014-04-19,7006164,Vikas,"We enjoyed staying at Gretchen's place for 4 days.  The place is great for 2-3 people to stay there comfortably.  Being from a city like Chicago, we did not mind walking 15-20 minutes to get to South Congress street.  Would recommend taking the number 5 bus right outside the place to get to downtown for just $1."
354263,13028885,2014-05-18,11808025,Sarah,"We stayed at Gretchen's for 3 weeks. It was a great spot to see Austin from, walking distance to SoCo and SoLa, with the #5 and #331 buses close, as well as the #10. Gretchen was very approachable and helpful with our stay and any questions we had, and her little house is very private. We were very sad to say goodbye to this great little house. We had a minor issue upon checkout, which was sorted out with Gretchen quickly and fairly. We would definitely stay again if we return to Austin. "
354263,13153126,2014-05-20,6426375,Kelly,"Gretchen's place is absolutely PERFECT! I could not have asked for a better spot in Austin. Spacious, bright, designed, cozy,comfortable,darling, beautiful! This nest was right up my alley. I will be making this my go to spot from now on. "
354263,13251322,2014-05-23,8008152,Monica,"Gretchen's uber-cool guest house was everything I hoped for and more, for my first ever visit to Austin. For starters, to say Gretchen is a wealth of information is an understatement.  She quickly figured out the kind of thing I like to so, food I like to eat, music I enjoy, and suggested places and activities that are perfect for me. She even recommended the best radio station! So she helped me to enjoy Austin bases my MY taste. As for the guest house-- lovely!!! Spacious, immaculate, and oozing in funky good taste. I was able to see the inside of the main house as well-- Gretchen is a talented artist and has creates beautiful and comfortable spaces throughout her place. My bed was so comfortable. Chilling at the end of the day in my vintage Barco Lounger was the perfect icing. Gretchen and I hit it off right away and even went to dinner together one night. Even though I checked out yesterday, due to her place already being booked, I'm meeting up with Gretchen later this morning so she can take me to her favorite quiet, non-touristy childhood spot at Barton Spring. She goes above and beyond! Quiet neighborhood smack dab in the middle of all that is cool about the Soco area. Fantastic restaurants very close by, starting with Thai Fresh, practically in the backyard. If I were heading to Austin again (when, not if), it's a no brainier...I'll return to Gretchen's. This place would be perfect for a summer get-away or SXSW!! Thanks Gretchen!! What a fine introduction to Austin. I feel like I have made a new friend! And of course, her opus made the experience even sweeter. "
354263,13407115,2014-05-27,4322864,Mark,"Two friends and I had rented Gretchen's house for the Memorial Day weekend. It was perfect in every way. The house was clean and well designed, her two small dogs were great visitors and the location is very easy to get into town. The house is stocked with plenty of home accessories (coffee pot, full kitchen wares and plenty of towels).
I highly recorded the place. Gretchen was very communicative and easy going throughout the process."
354263,14313855,2014-06-16,16382661,Jorge,"Gretchen was a sweetheart and the house was everything we expected and more.
"
354263,14829629,2014-06-27,16258490,Ann,"I loved staying in this funky guesthouse. The pictures are accurate. It is bright, cheerful, and comes with everything you need for a comfortable stay.  It was private, located in a great neighborhood & my host couldn't have been easier to do business with. Gretchen, ""Gigi"", is a native of Austin & is happy to provide you with ideas for things to do while visiting. I would highly recommend staying at this property."
354263,15926826,2014-07-18,17469219,Cindy,"This house is in a great location in south Austin without being too far south!  The neighborhood is quiet, the guest house is comfy and eclectic.  My first experience with Airbnb and it was extremely positive. "
354263,16861520,2014-08-03,18423639,Jayeesha,Loved my stay at Gretchen's beautiful casita. Absolutely gorgeous!
354263,18036704,2014-08-20,5621619,Andrea,"we had the most wonderful time at gigi's charming and peaceful guest house and we can absolutely recommend it to others. great located, adorable property, creatively decorated with great sense of style, spotless clean, quiet at night, good water pressure, well equipped, amazing AC plus fans, parking space in front of the building. gigi is a delightful host, we enjoyed talking to her and listen to her stories about the city only a true austinee can tell! fun factors: betty and repo, the dogs! thanks for a great airbnb experience."
354263,18683217,2014-08-30,2000549,Linda,"Another 5 star review! Gigi is cool and her place is super cool! It's so comfortable and close to loads of good eateries. We loved her dogs, they are so friendly. I also loved that it is across the road from the library, which is great when you have an 18 month old. And there is a convenience store, Thai and a coffee shop round the corner. Awesome when you can't be bothered venturing out too far in the Austin summer heat!"
354263,19076723,2014-09-06,17861052,Gaye,"My daughter, dog, and I all loved our stay at this house. Although we didn't stay long (we were on a 10,000 mile cross country trip) GiGi was very easy to work with and helpful in recommending things to do, places to see, restaraunts, etc). The house itself is perfect. It is in a great location and we walked to shopping areas, parks, and bars/restaraunts. I loved the artistic element of the decor; fun, very comfortable, and functional. I have already recommended this place to friends that are planning an Austin trip. We just loved Austin and plan to come back for a longer visit and I know I will rent this place when we do!"
354263,19246329,2014-09-08,8591766,Lauren,The host was welcoming and very pleasant.
354263,19932731,2014-09-21,18564049,Deborah,"Okay.  The place is nice, BUT it is not a two bedroom.  It is a one bedroom.  And it is very nice if that is what you're expecting.  I went to Austin for a film festival and planned to share the place with a male co-worker with whom I don't have any intimacy.  So, the two bedroom was a perfect set up. Unfortunately, that is not what it was.  The place is a living room with a kitchen and a couch/bed + ONE bedroom.  The bathroom is off the bedroom.  So, to get to it you have to go through the bedroom.  No privacy if you are not best friends or a couple.

Also, Gigi was not there to greet me when I got to the property.  After waiting by the gate for 10 minutes her helper showed up although she spoke no English.  She took me to a house and after half an hour - where I was already settled in - Gigi showed up to say that I was at the wrong house.  Gigi has two houses in the property for rent.  Needless to say I was not happy to collect my things and move to another house.

Lastly, Gigi is not accommodating at all at check out time. I asked if I could leave at noon instead of 11am and she said no.   Someone else was coming at 3pm and I had to go. 

So, if you're looking for a ONE bedroom and you're ready to make it work without any assistance from the host, you'll do all right.  The neighborhood is great and the house is ultra clean. 



"
354263,20602365,2014-10-02,128781,Reed,"Gigi's guesthouse is fantastic. The place was roomy, with more than enough room for me and my girlfriend during our five-night stay. The bed was comfortable, the AC worked like a charm, and–speaking of charm–the place is just as funky, vibrant, and clean as the pictures suggest. It's within walking distance from South Congress and a few nifty things on South First (Bouldin Creek Cafe and the Mexican Bakery were nice to have nearby).

Gigi was beyond accommodating, leaving the keys and detailed instructions out upon our arrival. She also allowed me to hang out long beyond the official checkout time while her helper cleaned the apartment so that I didn't have to do a 2-hour conference call in the 97-degree Austin heat.

My only negative experience was the wicked hangover I had after staying up till 2am drinking wine and chatting with Gigi on her porch. Worth it."
354263,20810521,2014-10-06,14585544,Mayra,"Everything about Gigi's studio was great. The space, decor, location; All of it! I will definitely be returning to her studio when I visit austin again. "
354263,21275499,2014-10-14,8706060,McKenzie,"Gretchen was an incredible host and the space was perfect for what we were looking for. We slept 4 and each had our own beds, the beds were very comfy with lots of comfortable bedding and pillows. The decor was awesome! Gretchen has amazing taste. We came for ACL so we really just needed a place to crash and shower. I thought the pictures did a great job showing you exactly what you were getting, beds, a kitchen, bathroom and a nice place to chill outside. Location was great, very close to South Congress and the route to Zilker park and Barton Springs was about a 40 min walk but also very drivable. Short ride to downtown but we just uber'ed or cabbed. All in all we had a great experience. "
354263,22418517,2014-11-05,19740359,Julie,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Gretchen's home.  The pictures were very accurate and the neighborhood was very safe and clean.  Gretchen met me when I arrived and helped me get my bags out of my truck.  She was nice enough to allow me to bring my dog with me.  Her dogs were really sweet and they got along well with my dog.  I had a lot of privacy staying in Gretchen's home and that was really nice for me because I had my baby with me and I could invite family over.  My family really enjoyed coming over and they thought the house was really great.  I would definitely rent from Gretchen again.  The next time I come to stay in Austin I am definitely going to see if she has availability for me.  Gretchen's home was really clean, the beds were comfortable, there was plenty of linens, and I was able to park in the driveway.  I really enjoyed the neighborhood and I liked that I could walk to the library, restaurant, and coffee house nearby.  I walked around the neighborhood every day with my dog and baby and I felt very safe.  This is a quiet neighborhood so if you are looking to escape and relax it is a perfect rental.  Gretchen is really friendly and I'm sure if you needed help or suggestions she would be there for you.  "
354263,22618086,2014-11-10,23114972,Andrea,"Absolutely loved Gigi's cottage!  And of course being welcomed by her two dogs was a treat as well.  The guest house was exactly as described, I slept on the day bed in the main room and my friend slept in the double bed and both were very comfortable. I had to work a bit while I was there and the wireless worked perfectly. The kitchen had everything we needed.  We walked to South Congress and enjoyed shops/food trucks also used the B-Cycles to get around the area  - great system! Thanks for the wonderful accommodations!"
354263,22758187,2014-11-14,1558073,Kevin,Figure was a wonderful host with a great sense of humor.  Her studio was relaxing and was nicely set up for our stay.  I would highly recommend it!
354263,22845950,2014-11-16,22728440,Sara,"Thank you for a great weekend in Austin. The home was exactly as described in your listing, and so much more.  Upon arrival the home was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. We were looking for a location that gave us a true feeling for an Austin neighborhood and your home was just that. We only had a short amount of time and we were able to cover so much ground:  First off we ate our way through Austin with a short 5 -10 minute walk to First Street, and everything we had was excellent (Sway Thai, Torchy's Tacos, Bouldin Creek Cafe, Sugar Mama's bakeshop, Soup Peddler) We definitely missed several restaurants on First Street we would have liked to try.  Heading the other direction we went to Saxon Pub (10-15 minute walk ) for some great live music.  SOCO and downtown were a 15 - 20 minute walk. I would highly recommend your home, and we hope rent your property on our next visit to Austin."
354263,23096647,2014-11-23,3424359,Bree,"The house is exactly as pictured and very clean!  Great location - we walked to everything and had a wonderful weekend!  Gigi was very helpful, as well."
354263,23416473,2014-11-30,17007062,Johnathon,"We had a lovely time in Gigi's place.  The beds were so comfy and it was decorated in a very lively way -  the character of the space is so vibrant and inviting.  There was even some snacks for us to enjoy among arrival!

Gigi contacted me quickly to provide all of the information I would need.  While we didn't meet in person, she was able to give plenty of recommendations about Austin and about the area.  As I am considering moving to Austin, she was even able to give me recommendations about that. 

The area was nice as well - a short trip from SoCo and other Austin hotspots.  I would definitely stay with Gigi again.  I'm very glad we choose her listing."
354263,23788881,2014-12-10,12003929,John,Gigi was very tuned into our arrival and settling-in.  The cottage was exactly as described and spotless. Totally guest-ready and fully equipped. We had a pizza open house for local friends and relatives - they loved it. There was room for 10 in the LR/open kitchen.
354263,23934766,2014-12-14,24768942,Bradley,Great Place! Perfect location. Gigi was a gracious host and was very accommodating. It was our first time using Airbnb and we booked 15 min before we arrived! Walking distance to everything! Look forward to visiting again!
354263,24598967,2014-12-31,17865841,Bianca,My mom and I stayed in Gigi's Casita over the holidays. It was very cozy and she was very welcoming. I brought my dog with me and Gigi was very accommodating with her pet policy. The neighborhood is great. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. We had a great time. 
354263,24927462,2015-01-04,22805174,Jody,"An absolutely excellent stay. Close to everything, reasonably priced, and just as described. While we didnt get to meet Gigi she stayed in contact with us throughout our stay, making sure we were doing well. I would definitely stay here again!"
354263,25237830,2015-01-10,24383174,Emily Iris,What an amazing comfortable stay. Because I was in Austin for a bicycle race I was in and out a lot and her location had easy access to everything I needed. The place was very welcoming and clean. All in all I had a wonderful stay.
354263,25545859,2015-01-19,4264130,Lori,"Was great meeting Gigi and her pups! Wonderful location with easy parking, close to downtown and walking distance to a few restaurants serving up local, organic fare.  A happy surprise that it only took 12 minutes (driving) to get to UT! The guest house is comfortable with fun decor! "
354263,25741387,2015-01-25,3599855,Elisabeth,"We had a fantastic time staying in Gigi's guest house! The space was beautiful and comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed - wifi, lots of extra blankets, and freshly ground coffee :) The location was perfect -  a short drive to everything and lots to see and do within walking distance too. Gigi was a very gracious host and her dogs are super cute! If and when I come back to Austin, I'm definitely staying here!"
354263,25995454,2015-02-01,7855021,Alvin,"We had a great time at Gigi's place. Checking in was pretty easy, although we had a bit of a hard time figuring out how to open the gate. The guest house was well-appointed and nicely decorated (as you can see from the pictures).  Gigi was a great host and her dogs Betty and Repo were very playful. She gave us some good suggestions on places to hit up near the area. The Bouldin Creek neighborhood was fun and laid-back, a good escape from the craziness near 6th street."
354263,26258387,2015-02-08,19587774,Kate,"Wonderful experience! The place was even cuter in person and great for me and my 3 other girlfriends! Fun, funky and fresh! Gigi was so kind, laid-back, and helpful. Definitely recommend this place! "

354263,28569643,2015-03-26,16473794,Andrea & Brian,"This place is magical. We stayed for four days while hiking and touring the city a bit more before we made a decision to move from Houston. Gigi was great and friendly. The location is the best in the city. Your are no more than 7 minutes from everything. Barton Springs and Zilker are right around the corner. As is downtown. It was only a 15 minute trip to McKinney Falls as well.

The furnishings were comfortable and the surroundings were pretty quiet. "
354263,28724068,2015-03-29,19413572,Christine,"Gigi was a gracious and friendly host, and her space is so gorgeous! Felt very private and serene. The location is outstanding; we walked to South Congress, 1st, and South Lamar. Would definitely return!"

She was also available for any questions we had. The location is perfect to all the downtown amenities and tucked back in a hip and upcoming area. The studio was perfect for the two of us and had great space. Highly recommend and would definitely book again if we are back in the area. 
354263,30091169,2015-04-17,8052348,Charla,Great place to stay. Gigi's attention to detail is amazing!
354263,30292239,2015-04-20,26383964,Diana,The three of us loved our visit to Austin and Gigi's guest house was perfect! We loved the neighborhood being so close to downtown and South Congress.  Walking about 1/2 mile to 1st  St. for coffee and the food truck park was easy and  fun. We liked having room to spread out and we put the fridge to good use. Gigi's guest house was so much better than a hotel room and the location was very quiet and safe. Hopefully we will be able to rent it again!
354263,30763171,2015-04-27,27228525,Suzie,Staying at Gigi's guest house was so great! Very comfortable and had everything I needed. The location was quiet and very clean.

I will definitely stay here when I come back to visit Austin!"
354263,31567222,2015-05-07,1681033,Rob,"We loved staying at Gigi's place. Great neighborhood to stay in, and quiet at night. An easy walk to some great spots or just Uber it everywhere really cheaply. Gigi was a lovely host and the place has real character. Gigi's dog Betty was so cute. My partner really looked forward to Betty coming around and saying hello every now and again. I highly recommend staying here. We'll definitely try and stay here if we're back in Austin. "

Her house is perfectly situated in a darling Austin neighborhood within walking distance to lots of great restaurants and shopping. Staying in the neighborhood gave us an authentic Austin experience, and the guest house is straight out of a magazine. Gigi was helpful when we asked her for suggestions, but not intrusive by any means. We really felt like we had our own private abode in Austin for the weekend. We also loved Betty, the dog! We will definitely stay here again if we're back in Austin."
354263,34831906,2015-06-12,2364736,Alana,"This is a great, homey space in a convenient neighborhood, and very quiet! "
354263,35027940,2015-06-14,3712113,Phil,"Gigi was a great host. We never met her but she gave detailed instructions for how to find the unit. The place is just as presented, fun/artsy motif. It's behind her studio so a little tucked away.  It's sort of like a ranch. We made friends with the other guest and enjoyed hanging out on the porch. "
354263,35385860,2015-06-18,15967394,Alison,"Gigi's studio was really great for our stay - cozy, colorful and airy and in a wonderful location. We had bikes, but her place is close to bus lines and very walkable to S. Lamar, S. Congress, 1st Street. No need for a car! The studio is tucked back on the property so is very private and quiet. It rained tons while we were there, so we did not utilize the outdoor space, but there was plenty of it. As a host, Gigi was very communicative and friendly. Definitely recommended!"
354263,35858646,2015-06-22,16196727,Monica,"Lovely place to stay, the place is perfectly described as in the ad, and her dogs are the sweetest things! "
354263,36226197,2015-06-26,34429225,Tristin,"Being a road warrior, I spend a lot of time in hotels. Gigi's Guest House was the first time I really felt at home on the road. After a long day I could come home and relax and let my dog play with Betty. I plan on staying with Gigi on future Austin visits!"
354263,36490205,2015-06-28,36725832,Davuth,"Gigi was an absolutely fantastic host!  She immediately asked how old our little one was, and if we needed a pack-n-play.  Despite the listing not mentioning this, it was a very pleasant surprise.  This alone made our stay so much better.  Gigi also had an awesome board book to keep our baby entertained during the stay.  

We even brought our little dog Bow Wow, who ended up getting along very well with Repo and Bettie!  There was plenty of space for him to roam.  With our baby and dog feeling comfortable, it seriously felt like we didn't even leave home!

You will not be disappointed with the furnishings of the guesthouse.  The vibrant colors and quirky artwork echo the energy of the neighborhood.  It was very easy to get to Lamar St. from the house, as well as to Congress.  Everything we wanted to eat was within a 5-10 minute drive away.  The location, needless to say, was the best we could've hoped for.    

I guess the only negative thing I can say is that I wish we could've stayed even longer!  "
354263,36954608,2015-07-03,31217260,Anne,"Our stay at Gigi's art studio style guest house was excellent. It was comfortably spacious and impeccably clean. And we loved everything about the boho decor. It looks exactly like it does in the pictures. She also has a very large yard (which our dog greatly appreciated!) with a gravel circle seating area which was the perfect spot to drink our morning coffee.
Gigi is a very friendly and gracious host and we really enjoyed our conversations with her. We will most definitely stay with her again on future trips to Austin."
354263,38838437,2015-07-19,32791554,Sarah,"We loved staying at Gigi's place! My friend and I were looking to stay at a clean, quiet, accessible place that would really feel like Austin, and this place had all of those things plus artsy charm to spare. Gigi herself was warm and friendly, and gave great recommendations for food and live music, and her dogs were cute and sweet. From the time we booked the trip through our entire trip she would respond to any questions or concerns we had via Airbnb with lightning speed which was really reassuring.

For those looking for a good location, this place was within walking distance of South Congress Street (full of cute shops and restaurants), and an easy bike ride or Uber ride anywhere around the city (we only did Uber because we went in July). The Bouldin Creek neighborhood is very quiet and residential, but not far from downtown, Zilker Park, and other tourist attractions.

I'd highly recommend staying here, and would jump at the chance of staying here again myself! "
354263,39572963,2015-07-24,38887361,Teresa,"My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay at GiGi's. Her place was exactly as described. Incredibly clean and nicely furnished. We loved the big fenced backyard for our dogs. It was triple digits in 
Austin during our stay and the apartment had great A/C. Neighborhood was very quiet and safe. Kitchen and bathroom were stocked with dishes and linens. Much nicer than a stay in a hotel and free WiFi. 
We will definitely stay here again when we visit Austin. "
354263,40033303,2015-07-27,11216757,Andree,The guesthouse was perfect! Just a short uber from everything in Downtown Austin. The yard was great for our dog we brought with us. Gigi was a great host!
354263,43011096,2015-08-16,2704135,Eddie,"Check-in was super easy, and Gigi's place was funky fresh and ultra clean.  Didn't hang out at the house for too much time, but when we did it was comfortable and quiet.  Definitely a chill spot, not too far from tons of fun spots on S. Congress and downtown"
354263,43971668,2015-08-23,6101782,Ryan,"We really loved staying here. It was private, hip and had everything we needed for our extended stay in Austin. Gigi's home is in a very hip Austin neighborhood a short walk to great restaurants and South Congress. We kept ourselves entertained and had a great stay."
354263,44606728,2015-08-27,37096241,Angad,"Gigi's guesthouse was lovely and we were very comfortable.
The neighborhood was quite nice too.
I would certainly stay here again. "
354263,46004861,2015-09-07,17174626,Morgan,"Gigi was actually present when we arrived, which was helpful to see where and how everything worked since we were in the back house. We had emailed frequently and she always responded quickly. Everything was described accurately and the neighborhood was a perfect location. I also felt safe."
354263,49581955,2015-10-05,10152461,Ben,"My family and I stayed at Gigi's airbnb listing for the ACL festival in Oct 2015. The place itself was fantastic, very quirky fun and comfortable. The walk to Zilker Park took about 45 minutes which was as far as my kids could handle, but we managed. Overall we had a very good experience, thank you very much Gigi."
354263,50423784,2015-10-12,9246105,Catherine,"The host Gigi was very friendly, easily accessible and the place was more spacious than I imagined.   We needed to stash our luggage on the last day before we headed back home - and Gigi was very accommodating.

Place was cute - private enough on larger property with main house and art studio.  Fit four of us comfortably.  Clean, stocked with extra towels/sheets/blankets, and centrally air-conditioned - which was key to a super hot 90-100 degree weekend!

Neighborhood is walking distance to 1st street and South Congress for great eateries, bars, and shops.  Walking distance  (1.5 miles) to ACL in  Zilker Park.  Easy cab/uber ride back from downtown.  Highly Recommended!"
354263,51004993,2015-10-17,4897113,Susan,"As usual, this studio is perfect. It's artsy....its Austin!  It is colorful, clean and the air conditioner keeps it very comfortable. Gigi ( and her pups) are friendly and make you feel welcome. Gigi responds quickly and let us adjust dates easily. The location is great and a short walking distance to restaurants in the area. We will stay there again!"
354263,51354577,2015-10-19,6558320,Bethany,"This is a true gem in Austin, perfect location and wonderful property. Gigi  was wonderful and made us feel right at home. We cannot wait to come back. "
354263,52227615,2015-10-27,3729695,Ben,"Gigi was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and flexible. This booking was for my in-laws and they were delighted with their stay. Very cool, very Austin space."
354263,52786688,2015-11-01,10624056,Cassie,"Gigi's studio was amazing. Great location, funky bohemian decor, all the amenities a person could ask for. Plus, Betty the boston is such a cutie. Thanks GiGi!"
354263,53200673,2015-11-06,46968853,D,Very lovely and clean place! Well represented in the photos. Great homebase for our 3 nights in Austin. No tv was excellent as we like to unplug on vacation!  The small kitchen worked well for us because I cook for myself due to food allergies. We met Gigi briefly our first day and she was very nice. We never needed anything during our stay but I felt that if we had she would've been responsive and helpful. 
4404358,22680620,2014-11-11,22215279,Darren,"I had a great time staying with Natasha and her roommate Derek during the Fun Fun Fun festival.  Natasha was very good with her communication and both her and Derek made me feel very welcome.  The couch  is quite comfy and Natasha bought me shampoos and soaps etc to use.  It is in a handy location near the express 803 bus line, Night Owl buses and the # 5 bus.  A good spot for the solo traveller who is only in town for a few days and at a great price.  Natasha even took me out to a Stars hockey game.  "
4404358,28184832,2015-03-19,28099470,Kazuki,"Natasha and her roommate Derek were so kind to me! I rented the sofa for one week for SXSW, it was very comfortable. It was very happy time for me that I joined a party with their friends! thx!"
3155735,28399748,2015-03-23,24162593,Jose,The guys there were awesome. Everything was neat. The house was big and the combination was good

715170,8974205,2013-11-29,8487716,Marissa,"My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Holly's place! The house is beautiful and looks just like the photos. It's in a great location, you can walk or bike to 1st Street. Holly is the best host, her warm and friendly personality makes you feel right at home! She has great recommendations for food and music. Her cat Mitt is also awesome. We couldn't have asked for a better host, I highly recommend staying with Holly. Thank you for having us!"
715170,10786956,2014-03-07,2991385,Kevin,"Holly is extremely nice and her place is exactly like the pictures. Very clean and located very close to downtown. 

I really enjoyed my time there and will definitely be going back. She does have a cat that comes and goes as it please, but it is a very friendly cat."
715170,11005156,2014-03-17,6058610,Annie,"Holly's house is lovely, and Holly couldn't have been a sweeter or more hospitable host. The neighborhood is an easy walk from the downtown area, and everything was very nicely appointed in the room. I would recommend Holly to anyone!"
715170,11605864,2014-04-08,7637276,Steven,"Holly was such a friendly and professional host. The room had plenty of space an natural light, and the bed is really comfortable. The home itself is in a PERFECT location in Austin, just blocks from the Townlake running trails and near downtown. Holly made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. "
715170,11795750,2014-04-15,12272483,Amy,"I had a great time in Holly's home and neighborhood. Holly was super sweet and accommodating. Her home is spacious, clean and quiet. I was quite comfortable for four nights, very easy to come and go. The neighborhood was easy to walk around. As a young woman, I felt safe walking by myself. Great host! Great space!"
715170,12458897,2014-05-03,12533648,Chris,"Holly's place is nothing but awesome. She was such a wonderful host and made my girlfriend and I feel right at home. The place is clean, cozy and close to great nightlife. Holly gave us many great suggestions on places to eat and drink nearby.  Her cat Mitt is cool as well. 

I would highly recommend Holly to friends looking for great hospitality and a chill place to stay.

Thank you so much for hosting us!"
715170,12763009,2014-05-10,7559382,Eduardo,"Holly was a terrific host. She was very easy to communicate and coordinate with on all housing requirements, and provided helpful suggestions and tips to nearby attractions. Holly's house is centrally located in South Austin and makes for a quick ride or walk to nearby spots. Definitely recommend this place for your future Austin visit."
715170,14408080,2014-06-18,5483988,Gustav & Jessica,"We had a great time in Austin, and Hollys place was great! Would highly recommend it!"
715170,17166209,2014-08-08,13861069,Tiffany,"I loved my stay at Hollys. She welcomed me in Austin warmly and I felt kind of home from the first time I have met her.
I arrived late in the evening and every thing worked out well. Holly has sent me an E-Mail before my arrival, so I had no worries about anything.
The place is very central, Downtown is a 5min bus ride and there are many things going on in this area.
The house is very clean and the bedroom is big and cozy.
Holly helped me out with lot stuff. I moved to Austin and she was my first place to be there. Happy me :)
Also to stay a few more days AND a friend, who came for vacation, was no problem. Her pet ""Mitt"" was chilly and not annoying at all, we made quite good friends ;)
I can recommend Hollys Bedroom to everybody who likes to stay for a weekend or longer in a quite neighborhood and welcoming roommates with a lot of fun."
715170,19140273,2014-09-07,17229555,Eirik,"Jeg bodde hos Holly i to uker mens jeg letet etter en egen leilighet i Austin (flyttet dit). Huset er trivelig, med stort soverom, velutstyrt kjøkken og en veldig koselig platting i bakhagen. Området er sentralt, rolig og trygt. Bussen går like forbi (mot sentrum), og det er bare en kort spaserstur til noen av Austins beste taco-vogner. 

Jeg har bare gode ting å si om Holly og hennes kjæreste (han bor ikke der). De ga meg masse lokale tips, inviterte meg ut på byen og Holly var veldig ryddig med det formelle. Samtidig er de så mye på farten at man stort sett har stedet for seg selv. 

Kan varmt anbefale denne boligen!"
715170,21239206,2014-10-13,16511026,Shawna,"Holly's home and neighborhood was beautiful and totally welcoming. The house was beautiful with great instructions no how to work everything. All rooms were clean and neat. Felt like a home.

Her place matched the description perfectly and the location couldn't be beat. The room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Holly was also very helpful with suggestions on where to shop and dine and helped me make the most out of my first time in Austin. "
715170,23847571,2014-12-12,23898254,Ben,"Holly's is located in a great neighbourhood, 20 minutes walk to downtown. The house is cute and will look great on your Instagram feed, I got 12 likes but you could easily expect more. Holly is really accomodating and knows so much about Austin, ask her about anything from Craft beer to two-stepping."
715170,25320766,2015-01-12,24808537,Madeleine,Holly was a great host very friendly and welcoming. Holly provided us with lots of recommendations of places to visit and restaurants to eat at.

715170,25422668,2015-01-15,23952305,James,"Holly's place was fantastic! Everything was as described, the place was lovely, and very close to excellent bars/cafés - not far from downtown either.

715170,26993509,2015-02-23,9184308,John,"Holly was a very accommodating and conscientious host. She made sure that I felt welcome and gave me great information about Austin.

The room was spacious with plenty of additional closet space. Bathroom and laundry was easily accessible. Kitchen and living spaces were welcoming and well equipped. Overall the house is well taken care of and tidy. 

After Holly's tremendous hospitality, the next best thing was the location: close to downtown, within walking distance, and in the middle of a new, up and coming, neighborhood with great coffee and food and easy parking all around. 

Next time in Austin I would definitely stay again.  I give the highest recommendation!!!"
715170,27304276,2015-03-01,28225753,Zach,"I had a great experience here, even though we never interacted as Holly was out of town. Place is very cute and very clean. Holly was nice enough to leave me a couple local beers and hand writen note of cool local things to do. Cat Mitt was chill, and not a problem. This was my first airbnb experience and very seemless and easy to use.

Thanks so much Holly!"
715170,28309885,2015-03-22,1164982,Rhona,"Sadly due to a family bereavement was unable to make the trip.  However, must say that dealing with Holly was easy, she couldn't have been more helpful."

Thank you Holly!"

She will also give you fantastic local recommendations for Austin. The location of this house is great, close to many good places within walking distance and a quick taxi into downtown. We couldn't recommend this stay more! Thanks Holly! "
715170,29564527,2015-04-09,14102815,Danielle,"Holly, Mitt, and the house were awesome. Holly gave us great suggestions that made our Austin trip even better than planned. The location was amazing, we were able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go, and it was a pretty quick walk to downtown, First St, and Congress. This is definitely the place to stay if you want a convenient location, awesome host, and an adorable cat friend."

Her house is charming and in a lovely, quiet and safe neighbour within walking distance to so many cool restaurants, shopping and nightlife spots.

The room is really cute and comfortable. Holly made us feel very welcome in her home. Would definitely stay again."

Thanks Holly & Mitt!"
715170,32506605,2015-05-19,16674128,Helen,"It was great staying with Holly, beginning before my arrival. She sent me really useful, detailed information to get to her place and there was more useful Austin info when I arrived. The photos are accurate though there are a couple of more pieces of furniture in the bedroom now (another endtable, lamps -- handy, not cluttered!)  And spotlessly clean.  I was in town for a conference at the convention center with a couple of days added on. Holly's place was an easy walk (1.2 miles / 2 km) to downtown. It was even closer to the cool shops and restaurants in SoCo. A perfect location.

Thanks a lot for your hospitality, Holly! And I loved your little kitty, Mitt, too!"
715170,33158278,2015-05-25,10935318,Cassandra,"Holly was a wonderful host with an absolutely fantastic place. We visited during Memorial weekend and she was out of town so we had the house to ourselves. She left us local Austin beer in the fridge as well as a map pointing out places to shop, eat, and hear music. They were all great recommendations. Her home is adorable and near many of the Austin tourist destinations. We took ubers most places, but there are excellent food trucks within walking distance. Holly was thoughtful and easy to reach - this is a wonderful place to stay!!"
715170,39890172,2015-07-26,7025852,New,"Holly's house was super cute! She was out of town for the weekend but provided us with a list of close by restaurants and things to do in Austin. She made the experience almost too easy! I would recommend staying at Holly's house for anyone who's looking to spend a few days in Austin and wants to see all the major sites. It's an easy walk to South Congress and access to lots lots of food trucks on South 1st, and an easy Uber or drive to Rainey Street or 6th Street for the night life."
715170,41901649,2015-08-09,2313087,Hannah,"Holly's place is immaculate, perfectly situated in Austin, has all the amenities you need, and leaves you wishing the place was your own! We weren't able to meet Holly as she was out of town for the weekend but she was easy to get ahold of and provided us with all the information of getting into the house and recommended some great local joints. Situated in a Really cool neighborhood that you'll want to explore and walk to yummy food trucks and staples of the Austin food scene.

Our room was just as described, and very comfortable and very peaceful - we felt right at home. The neighborhood is great and quiet, was it was easy to get to and from the festival. We will definitely try to stay with her again next year!"

2546012,14258854,2014-06-15,16750801,Scott,"My stay at Stephanie’s condo was wonderful.  The condo is every bit as clean, spacious and beautiful as the pictures shown on the web. I stayed in the upstairs bedroom, which has a walk-in closet that is larger than the one in my home and a huge, very comfortable bed.
The kitchen was nicely equipped—I made eggs and took fruit and coffee out into the patio for breakfast under the shade of the trees. I took a dip in the clear water of the common area pool. In short, I was enchanted by the place.
The central location was a real plus: on my first night I ate and drank and heard music at three venues that were less than two miles away; the next day I drove to the LBJ Ranch an hour away, then kayaked on the lake in the middle of town at sunset and had a dinner at an amazing local restaurant less than two miles from Stephanie’s condo. The next day I spent downtown (very close) at the LBJ Presidential Museum (probably the best of the five Presidential museums I’ve seen) and Texas history museum (an excellent museum, though somewhat short on the Mexican American War), again followed by a an amazing dinner at a restaurant near the condo. (On an earlier visit, I had visited a sculpture garden that was also very close.) In short, the location is ideal. 
A few words about Stephanie as a host: one could not ask for a more gracious, helpful, eager-to-please, smart, and energetic host. An active hiker, rower, person with contacts in the community, and can-do personality, Stephanie is easy to like and was responsive to my requests for both special comforts and local information.
My recommendation: Visit Austin; stay here; meet Stephanie; enjoy.
"
2546012,14566350,2014-06-22,15731975,Ricardo,"We had a fantastic time while visiting Austin staying in this condo. Strategically located, minutes away from Austin down town and at a walking distance from a trendy area with fantastic Austin-typical restaurants and bars. The condo is in good conditions, clean and well maintained. It had all the amenities advertised and the owner is next door for any unlikely issues. The owner is very nice and attentive and upon arrival everything was ready. Just type the code and walk into the condo. The pool area was great for us because we have kids and we could just cool down and have fun. Definitely recommend it."
2546012,29997477,2015-04-15,30559623,Anne,"Stephanie's place was perfect for us.  The condo was tucked away off a quiet street that was close to Barton Springs and South Lamar, allowing us to get to most places we wanted to be within 5-10 minutes.
  
Stephanie had left everything ready for our arrival--we didn't even have to mess with keys as the place has a convenient coded lock.  Everything was spotless and incredibly comfortable.  We only had one question and had a text response in less than 10 minutes.   We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

2546012,47361407,2015-09-18,30435503,Denis,It was a great trip! good hostess!
2546012,49700057,2015-10-05,10407766,Janice,This is the definition of what you want an Air BnB to be! Stephanie was an amazing Host and so easy to get in touch with. Anything we needed or had questions about she got back to us almost immediately. The house was perfect and exactly as described. The kitchen and Bathrooms were incredibly well stocked with anything you could need. Everything was clean and ready to go when we arrived. The location is also perfect too because you can ALWAYS get an Uber or Lyft there within 5 min and you're 1.5 blocks from a us stop right on Lamar that will take you right into Downtown. All in all one of the best Air BnB experiences we've had :)
7775772,42990505,2015-08-16,9465735,Chase,"Seth's condo was the perfect place for us to stay while we explored everything South Congress and 6th St. had to offer. A $6 or less Uber ride to both those areas. Condo was very clean and met all basic needs. Gated condo community was quiet and safe. Seth was the most responsive host I've ever stayed with, always getting back to me within minutes. Loved his place and will definitely stay there again if I come back to Austin. "
7775772,43335005,2015-08-18,19590911,Juba,Seth is a caring and very responsive host. Whatever question or need you may have gets an immediate response. The neighborhood is in the heart of Austin and everything is accessible. The space is utilitarian with little frills.  I would definitely recommend staying here. 
7775772,43468553,2015-08-19,27252430,Chris,"This place is great! Convenient, clean, and great Wi-Fi. Free Dr pepper! And KCups. Nice area, has parking and closed gate. Seth was very quick to respond and detailed. Definitely a thumbs up!"
7775772,43848238,2015-08-22,33928240,Sulena,"This place is very close to the 6th street, very clean and Seth was awesome. Free soda, keurig coffee and bottled water. This is a gated community and there was a nice pool outside. We had 6 people staying and everybody enjoyed the stay. If we ever go back to Austin, we would definitely stay here."
7775772,44039798,2015-08-23,20,Jennifer,"Loved our stay at this great condo! Exactly as listed and pictured, it is a cute, clean condo with all the necessities. Very well kept and comfortable. Within walking distance to great food and close to South Congress. Really enjoyed - would recommend! "
7775772,44389308,2015-08-25,28254044,Michael,"Host left plenty of information and was very detailed in all the specifics ahead of time. Host was available to give information about the area as well. The neighborhood was very quiet and super close to South Congress area. We used Uber a lot and got every where we needed quickly. The place was very clean and well kept, there was coffee and water available if we needed it. We felt very at home there and would definitely choose to stay there again."
7775772,44708386,2015-08-28,41149272,Chrissy,"We absolutely LOVED our stay at Seth's condo. It was the perfect size for the three of us girls to sleep, hangout and get ready for the night. We were able to walk to the shops on South Congress from the condo which was nice, but otherwise the location is only a $5-7 uber to 6th Street or Downtown. Everyone we talked to said if they were visiting, they would choose to stay in SoCo too because it's Austin's not-as-popular gem that a lot of people miss out on when they stay downtown! Seth was SO responsive and truly defined ""southern hospitality""- he responded to our minuscule needs as if they were urgent. Amazing. If I ever come back to Austin, I'm totally staying here again!!! Thanks again, Seth! "
7775772,45438163,2015-09-02,36656113,Samantha,The place was clean and the sodas and waters were much appreciated! Thank you for the restaurant suggestions as well! Would definitely recommend this condo to friends and family visiting!
7775772,45996980,2015-09-07,15391893,Corey,Great stay and Seth was always a message away!
7775772,46920571,2015-09-14,8737305,Julia,"Seth's house was exactly what we needed for our trip to Austin. The house was fully stocked, the pull out couch was comfortable, the pool was great, and it was located only a quick drive to all the best spots. I'd recommend his place to anyone!"
7775772,47228204,2015-09-16,43552104,Melissa,We appreciated the proximity to South Congress street as well as the secure parking and laundry!
7775772,47445229,2015-09-18,44277593,Kate,Seth was extremely welcoming.  He also communicated in real time and was very cordial and kind.  And left two Lone Star beers in the fridge!  Sweet!  And followed up with a thank you.  Just all very good.
7775772,47709406,2015-09-21,40987796,Tracy,Seth was great. He was very responsive to our booking request and made himself available for any question. The location was close to everything and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. I would recommend to a friend.
7775772,48304572,2015-09-25,14657731,Brigitte,"Super close to awesome restaurants on 1st street and South Congress! Seth is readily available and very easy to reach. So appreciated the Keurig and waters as well! Condo is exactly as described--squeaky clean with everything we needed for an affordable, comfortable stay. "
7775772,48556964,2015-09-27,40154795,Chelsea,We really enjoyed our stay here! The condo is in the perfect location for food and fun! We will definitely be returning! 
7775772,48856482,2015-09-28,35151234,Emily,Seths place was awesome! We just stayed there for one night but totally would have stayed there more if we had to. Everything was super clean and we had enough (freshly cleaned) towels for all 4 of us. My friend and I sat out by the pool for hours at night watching the lunar eclipse and couldn't have wished for a better view. Seth is super nice and very quick to respond to any questions we had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED... we even had a couple beverages he left in the fridge for us ;)
7775772,49902825,2015-10-07,15869419,Luis,A great stay at the Condo in such a great location. It may have been even nicer than the photos! Clean and comfortable. perfect for my stay for the ACL 2015.
7775772,50094187,2015-10-09,3725043,Alexa,Seth's apartment was a cute place! It was a couple blocks away from the heart of South Congress (Soco) we walked there almost everyday we stayed! Very easy ride to downtown if you wanted to go out there. about a $7-9 uber ride to Rainy street or 6th. The pool was great to unwind in the afternoon. Very close to Barton Springs too! Lots of place to sleep if you have a couple friends. Great place overall! Love it. 
7775772,50561563,2015-10-12,28982112,Gustavo,"We where there for ACL15' and only booked about a week before. Everything ran smoothly! The apt is located in a good area, Near South Congress and only a short drive to Zilker Park. Everything in the apartment was perfectly clean and accessible."
7775772,50824388,2015-10-14,32779610,Christopher,"Excellent stay. Great location right near Congress street. Very close to some of my favorite destinations like Uncommon Objects and the Continental. Only a short car rode to down town attractions. 

Home was clean with fresh towels and blankets. Equipped with everything we needed, gated parking and a small pool for a refreshing dip. And we were able to book ot only a few hours in advance.

If you're looking for someplace simple, easy and safe I highly recommend it."
7775772,50905777,2015-10-15,42586780,Jacob,"Seth was a great host, and the condo was just as described! Perfect for our stay for the night.  Seth checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we arrived safely and were able to get in without issue.   Was definitely the right choice for my first night in Austin - possibly my new favorite city."
7775772,51133414,2015-10-18,36385605,Lindsey,"Seth's apartment is a great location to see Austin. It is a quick and cheap Uber ride to all attractions, and the apartment itself was very clean. Also has a very convenient door code, which makes it easy to coordinate when travelling with a group! "
7775772,51473134,2015-10-20,21216102,Monica,"My favourite thing about Seth's condo is the location. Everything we wanted to visit was within 5-15 minutes drive away. There are lots of great food trucks around, which we enjoyed every day.

Although I didn't meet Seth in person, he was very communicative through messaging. He notified us when the condo was ready, answered my questions, and also told us when he found something we left behind, which we really appreciated. The whole stay was very well organised and smooth!

Overall, I would recommend Seth's condo for anyone visiting Austin!"
7775772,51657405,2015-10-22,19011116,Meg,"Seth was very responsive and helpful in the lead up to my trip. The neighborhood was in perfect walking distance to a lot of things, including being right beside Taco n Madre food truck, which was delicious. I didn't have a car, but Uber and walking were perfect for me. The place was tidy and the bed was comfortable. It was a great size for 1-2 people. It can definitely hold 4, but I can imagine it would be a bit tight."
7775772,52054961,2015-10-26,41388858,Brendan,"Great little place, very comfortable and Seth does a great job planning for all your needs.  Good price and location for our weekend, I would recommend it for a friend who needs an Austin crash pad for a few days! "
7775772,52276367,2015-10-27,31167456,Amanda,"our stay was great! everything was as described, clean and very welcoming. seth was very responsive and helpful. thank you so much!!"
7775772,52388540,2015-10-28,33378311,Justin,Awesome spot. Wish I stayed longer. Literally a 10 minute walk to downtown Austin & right around the corner from some good food. 
7775772,52473004,2015-10-29,13574713,Dan,Great place! Clean and convenient. And pretty reasonably priced for the value you are getting. Would stay again. Also getting in and out was a breeze. 
7775772,52555052,2015-10-30,45137209,Caitlin,"This was a great location, very conveniently located just off Southern Congress. Seth made sure I had all of the information I needed for a good stay, and it's convenient to check in whenever works best for you after 3pm the day you arrive. There was absolutely no hassle with this reservation, and Seth made himself available if I needed anything. "
7775772,53027352,2015-11-03,6066499,Ruth,"This apartment is just fine if you need a place to crash for a night or two. It should be noted that there are NOT 3 beds. There is one real bed, one futon in the living room, and one folding mattress that is about 2/3 of a twin (3 couch cushions, I wouldn't describe it as memory foam). We didn't stay long, just one night. We had some issues with cleanliness (perhaps just an oversight this one time), but Seth was extremely communicative and apologetic, and compensated us accordingly. Check-in was very easy and smooth. "
7775772,53094341,2015-11-04,38759545,Anne,Seth and Kimberly handled everything perfectly!  Their thoughtfulness from check-in to check-out absolutely made it very easy for me to stay at their cozy apartment even with my hectic work schedule!  They are also super quick on messaging; not a single detail was left out!  (:
8402063,48048376,2015-09-22,12163517,Anthony,"Austin in Austin - was great It was more like staying with your cuz or old friend than an Air BnB host! Austin really knows and loves his city and the people in it, and is happy to share them both! 

The Location, for me was perfect close enough to DT to be in he mix but enough distance to avoid the mix (if you want) equidistant between  two major thoroughfares this location is perfect for getting around. BTW the apartment is spacious, clean, and there is parking and really good AC ! Can't wait to go back and see Austin both the city and the guy 
"
8402063,48639708,2015-09-27,44767007,Kelsey,This place was definitely bigger than the pictures showed! Me and three of my girlfriends stayed there for the UT/OSU game and the apartment is in a great location! Austin was so helpful and kind! Definitely would recommend this if you're going to be in Austin for a weekend! 
8402063,49545758,2015-10-04,32682751,Lacy,Austin was a very nice host and made checking in and out easy. We came for ACL and the apt was so close that Uber rides were only $8. It truly is a great location!
8402063,50394589,2015-10-11,45593758,Ryan,"Austin was fantastic.  He was very accommodating for everything we needed to enjoy our time at ACL!  The location is pretty close to everything, and it comes as described. Would definitely stay again! "

8402063,52543177,2015-10-30,45838112,Caitlin,"Finding Austin was a small miracle for us, as we needed a last minute place to stay with our two dogs while renovations were being finished up on our new house. The apartment was comfy, cozy, and the perfect location! Austin was super easy to communicate with, very accommodating, and really made us feel comfortable. We were a bit nervous about staying in an apartment complex so near a university, but it was relatively quiet."
5284285,28212371,2015-03-20,1557147,Ben,"Ryan's place was the perfect SXSW hideout. Only a short drive to downtown, it was really nice being surrounded by nature and squirrels when waking up in the morning - given the craziness that is SXSW. The house was very spacious, with two perfectly-sized bedrooms, a nice bathroom, a huge living room - hey, we live in New York - and a fully-equipped kitchen. It was also great being able to sit outside in the garden. Finally, Ryan was super friendly, as was his mom. Thanks a lot!"
5284285,28341838,2015-03-22,28881960,Jeffrey,"The location is perfect in a quite neighborhood.  Quick to pop to downtown.  We enjoyed the big couch and nice tv in the living area. 

It appeared as though there were rennovations going on throughout the home.  The bathroom and kitchen were both unfinished, however still fully usable.  There appeared to be poor craftsmanship on the work being done as well. 

Overall, we enjoyed staying here and would recommend it. "
79100,3784101,2013-03-14,1802497,Raymesh,"Robert was excellent host; a cool guy to chat, have a beer and hang around; I stayed at Cloverleaf Dr, Austin for SXSW and it was a perfect place to retreated, relax and have the real experience as if I lived in Austin. It was really easy to go around in bicycle, bus or taxi. Even doe I shared the house it feel really private, the place was perfectly clean and nicely decorated. Robert has great recommendations and good music ☺ 

"
79100,33446308,2015-05-28,7783788,Kyle,"Bobby is a great host and this location is awesome. Has everything you need on-site and is within walking distance to grocery store, restaurants, and other great spots. Very happy that I stumbled upon this place and was able to stay here for a month. "
79100,52600135,2015-10-31,12363295,Afton,Robert was just great. Very flexible and communicative about everything. The place was perfect for our guest...he only had the best things to say. Would definitely use again. 
345473,3805196,2013-03-17,214871,Andrew,"We had an excellent experience with Whitney and her beautiful house. It's only minutes walk to South Congress and easily accessible to buses and downtown. The house is perfect, kitchen is great. We fit around eight people in there over SXSW (and not just developers and kids, most of us were 35+). Whitney communicated well throughout, called prior to our arrival and was helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended."
345473,10955835,2014-03-15,4657575,Donal,This is an awesome house in a beautiful part of Austin. It's a short walk to town via Congress Ave which has a ton of cool places to shop eat and drink. The house was very comfortable and had everything you'd need for your stay. Whitney was available if you had any problems or questions - but we didn't have any issues or problems so there was no need to disturb here. If I make it back to Austin I would definitely consider staying here again.
345473,28204564,2015-03-20,11341171,New,"Whitney's house is lovely, and makes for an easy SXSW pad. It's easy to get to/from and well set up. Whitney went out of her way to make sure everything we needed was there. This is our second SXSW at Whitney's and we were very happy."
8114303,46066893,2015-09-07,42951897,Brooksie,"Great location in Hyde Park. Convenient to local restaurants, bars, and other Austin attractions. Very comfortable accommodations and flexible hostess."

8114303,48852023,2015-09-28,35906587,Irma,Our experience staying at her apartment was great! Very convenient location and super close to downtown. She was very accommodating and even baked us cookies :) would definitely stay again!
8631967,52283769,2015-10-27,23871729,Angela,"Accurate listing. Jennifer was very flexible with the meet-up plan, which was great because my plans changed last minute. Super easy to work with."

7936442,51170109,2015-10-18,28645952,Silas,"This place was really cute and perfect for a quick anniversary getaway! Location was great for walking to bars and restaurants. Kalee had everything we could need, even little extras in case we forgot something. Thank you!!"
7936442,51929263,2015-10-25,44676231,Keith,The house was great and had everything we needed. The location was within walking distance to 6th Street. Kalee was great to work worth. Highly recommend!
8889652,52148481,2015-10-26,16589748,Chris,"Everything was perfect at the apartment, everything was as described.  Location was great, just a few miles outside of downtown but within walking distance to everything in South Lamar.  Only complaint was with the damn weather from the Hurricane that caused it to rain for basically 3 straight days so we had to Uber/Lyft around instead of being able to walk to places.  Major bonus points as my wife spoke to Danielle ahead of time and arranged for her to pick up my favorite beers and have them in the fridge waiting when we arrived, can't beat that!"

1745099,22157734,2014-10-31,4265995,Lacey (& Justin),"Loved our stay! The house is beautiful with cheeky Brit design and Texas charm. The cabana and pool area outside was breathtaking and we spent almost our entire day outside enjoying the view. Very thankful to have TurnKey available to us whenever we needed them. The house was close to S. Lamar and within minutes to many awesome restaurants (Torchy's, Gourdoughs, etc)."
1745099,32471961,2015-05-18,29094686,Andrew,Our stay here was great. The place exceeded all expectations and I would recommend it to anyone that is traveling to Austin. 
1745099,34015003,2015-06-03,23662951,Ed,"The property was very nice and the view was beautiful. The advertised rate was much less than the actual rate which Airbnb promptly took care of. We not only could not check in early, but the place was not cleaned by 3:00pm so we had to check in late. The Hot Tub never worked although someone did come out and look at it. This was one of the reasons we rented it. We had to call to figure out how to work the nest that was asking for a PIN, after 2 calls we figured it out. We had to find batteries and change them in two of the remotes and a couple of the fuses were tripped which we finally figured out and got the lights working. The garbage was overflowing when we got there and there was a wad of black hair and cardboard in the master shower drain. Only half of the grill lit but we ended up just using that half. We did get a call from the host making sure we would be out by 10:00am because it was rented for that day regardless of the fact that we had to check in late. This is a great property with a great location, although it was older and a little dated outdoors. This was our first experience with a management company as opposed to an actual owner and that was a little disappointing especially the hot tub issue.

5928033,30245119,2015-04-19,6520301,Priscilla,David is a great host! The apt was exactly as described and he even left us a welcome snack. Very clean and practical. The apt is facing the pool. 
5928033,30729331,2015-04-26,31410956,Simon,"I have nothing but great things to say about David and his apartment. The place ended up being even nicer than described on his listing. All the rooms were meticulously kept clean and he even left an airbed at no extra cost to us. 

He was also considerate enough to leave us extra towels. 

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his spot for anyone looking for a clean, central room to spend their vacation. 
"
5928033,31410276,2015-05-04,19076519,Andrew,"David was extremely prompt in his reply and gave detailed directions and insight throughout our communications including dining suggestions. 
The neighbours upstairs did seem to stomp around in the mornings,
though this is of course outside of the host's control. 
Uber to downtown was $9-11 and $10 to the airport. "

From the very beginning to the very end, David was very easy to communicate with, always responded within minutes and was ready to help with any of my needs. His apartment was spotless, spacious, and overlooked the pool. The neighbors were friendly, and although you have to park in visitor only parking, it was not hard to find one close to the apartment. David has an Xbox connected to Netflix, which was very convenient in my case as I had my 5 year old with me. David's apartment is about a 5 minute drive from downtown Austin, extremely convenient! I would definitely stay here again in the future. "

5928033,32989731,2015-05-24,29682569,Ben,David was an awesome host. Very helpful. This apartment is perfect for a couple but it can get a bit crampy for 4 people.

5928033,51243804,2015-10-18,4689326,Heather,"We enjoyed staying at David's place, it was very clean and the bed was comfy. It was a little tight for the 4 of us, but it was doable for the 2 nights, 3 seems like the magic number. Davids communication and willingness to get us in there on such short notice while he was out of town was amazing! Great host!"

It was ample amount of space, and walking distance (~15-20 min) to most downtown locations. 

Really enjoyed it, and would happily stay there again."
1934259,21728431,2014-10-22,22572008,Sam,"I had a great time staying at Dan's.  My booking was super last-minute due to some scrambled travel plans, but Dan was incredibly accommodating, really made me feel welcome.  The place itself was everything I needed- tidy, quiet, comfortable, and within easy striking distance of downtown.  Had a great experience, would absolutely recommend this place to anyone."
1934259,21901556,2014-10-26,22198483,Virginia & Joshua,"Staying at Dan's place was great -- the apartment is really cool, in a quiet area while still really close to everything. Getting downtown was a quick drive, but also a walkable/bike-able distance. 

Dan was very communicative and laid back, and altogether a great host, though I didn't get to meet him in person. I would definitely recommend staying at Dan's, and will hopefully stay there again when I travel to Austin in the future. "
1934259,24674814,2015-01-01,20609211,Sarah,"Very spacious living area and a great location near downtown and some neat areas.  Dan was a very helpful host and even made a list of spots to check out.  Dan also paid attention to detail in preparing for our arrival, which was very kind.  The place was clean and comfortable."
1934259,26544017,2015-02-15,8958044,Rachel,Great experience. Cool place and very accessible. 
1934259,31246175,2015-05-03,4232819,Jon,Great place! Close to a lot of cool stuff. Apartment was clean and Dan was generous with info and accommodations. Thanks!
1934259,31959411,2015-05-12,13454813,Rebecca,"Great apartment in east austin! I was out for austin psych fest with my boyfriend and the place was more than enough room for both of us. I met Dan briefly upon arriving, and he seems like a nice guy - and keeps a very clean apartment to boot! The bed was super comfy and easily slept 2 peeps. Walking distance to a bunch of restaurants, bars and shopping down on 11th, 7th, and 6th. The apartment also stayed surprisingly cool for how hot it got outside - but there was AC in case we needed an emergency cool down. Will definitely look to return my next time in Austin! "
1934259,51972270,2015-10-25,22492626,Spencer,"Very cool place in a quiet neighborhood! Dan wasn't around to meet me there, but certainly made sure everything went smoothly when I did arrive.  It was a great place to relax and wait out the rain, which unfortunately it was just POURING most of my trip.  But hey, at least the place was comfortable and well-stocked!"
3880179,18842118,2014-09-01,12375117,Cassandra,"Kelly & Kenneth's place was just what we needed for a quick trip to Austin. It was prime location for the two of us, as we were constantly on the go. We walked a lot, throughout South Congress and downtown. I'll definitely keep this cute, clean spot on my list for future visits. Thanks for being so flexible too! "
3880179,20525431,2014-09-30,3729723,Toral,"Great central location, easy parking in the building, we loved staying at Kelly & Kenneth's! The beer and muffins were a nice treat as well. "
3880179,21874017,2014-10-26,7677239,Sara,"Kelly and Kenneth have an amazing apartment in a great, central, location. The location couldn't be better for exploring Austin. Their place was clean, comfortable, and exactly like the pictures. The beer and muffins they left was such a nice added touch. It was nice to have a place with a pool so we could relax and enjoy the sunshine too. I would stay again! "
3880179,22297845,2014-11-03,20979440,Erin,"Kelly and Kenneth's place was at a great location, an easy walk to downtown Austin and even easier to the restaurants and shops along South Congress. The apartment was cute and comfortable. They have a great rooftop deck overlooking the city skyline, made even better by the six pack of beer they left us to enjoy up there. Great weekend in Austin!"
3880179,22588811,2014-11-10,17684814,Raj,"Wonderful location with excellent amenities!  Kelly and Kenneth were very gracious, and though there were some minor issues getting into the unit I would say they were nothing short of excellent hosts.
"
3880179,22906309,2014-11-17,2382587,Sara,"Kelly & Kenneth apartment was ok for our trip.  The hosts left us a note where they explained us how to deal with TV, internet, the condo's facilities, etc. They also left us some pancakes. We only had a problem with the keys (for the out-side door we needed a key that we didn't have) but we managed to get in because we found that door almost always open. The neighborhood feels safe and there's a nice café just around the corner. The place is really close to downtown."
3880179,27364644,2015-03-02,28109644,Kasey,"Other than the parking situation (lots of stairs!), our stay was excellent. Kelly and Kenneth's place is in an amazing location, and was clean and very comfortable. Kelly left some awesome cookies and bagels for us. Overall, it was great! "
3880179,28819609,2015-03-30,28875191,Ryne,"Kelly and Kenneth were great hosts, the apartment was exactly as it's described, has great access to South Congress and downtown, and was a great place to stay. Would definitely recommend staying here. "
3880179,29834673,2015-04-13,6078735,Stephanie,"Super location, easy walk to the boardwalk, Travis Heights and restaurants. Roof top was a great place to share a bottle of wine at sundown."
3880179,33392321,2015-05-27,20410917,Mark,"The best thing about Kelly and Kenneth's place is its central location - just around the corner from S Congress, across the bridge from downtown and not too far from the parks. There's also a B-cycle station just two blocks away. Their apartment was clean and comfortable, and the rooftop was a great place to hang out and have a few of the beers they left for us. The pool wasn't anything special and their place might be a bit small if you have 4 people in your group, but overall I'd recommend staying here if you're visiting Austin. "
3880179,43092013,2015-08-17,27926448,Katie,"My sister, best friend, boyfriend and I visited Austin to celebrate my sister's birthday. Kelly and Kenneth's place is great- comfortable, clean and well-located. 

In their reservation confirmation email, Kelly and Kenneth told us they'd be leaving a 6-pack of beer and breakfast treats. When we arrived at the apartment, there was a note from Kelly next to a bottle of wine, coffee beans and a french press that she'd left for us. There were a couple of PBRs in the fridge which we assumed were left for us based on the reservation email. We drank the wine and the PBR, but left the coffee untouched. 

We left the place in immaculate condition Sunday afternoon. 
Upon landing after my 2 hour flight, I checked my email and noticed Kelly had already filed 2 claims on airbnb and requested an additional $130 charge. One claim stated we'd consumed ""all of their booze that was not left for [us]"" and the 2nd that we'd stolen their apple earbuds. Shortly after filing the formal claims, Kelly texted me directly stating their $100 champagne bottle was missing. I was caught off guard by the accusations. I immediately contacted all members of our group to ensure I had all of the necessary info to address Kelly's concerns. I learned that my boyfriend had accidentally walked out with their earbuds and phone charger, thinking they were mine. The champagne was also consumed in error. A member of our group opened it thinking it was a part of our grocery purchase.

I texted Kelly to apologize for the mix-up and let her know we'd mail the missing goods and reimburse her for the champagne. We asked that she provide the brand, so that we could reimburse her for its true value. She said she had to check, because the bottle was gifted to her. We overnighted the missing earbuds and charger to Kelly the next morning. I texted Kelly to let her know, and she responded saying she'd discovered a blood-stained pillow. Though I didn't recall any of us bleeding during the trip, I reached out to the group again to investigate. The stain was and still is a mystery to all of us.

Having managed front-of-the-house operations at a luxury hotel on Martha's Vineyard, I can say with confidence that discoveries like these happen often in the world of hospitality. I use airbnb regularly both domestically and internationally and have never had such a dramatic experience with a host. I'm deeply offended by Kelly's accusations that we stole from them. Our intentions were honest and from a place of utmost respect for hosts that opened their home to us. We were cooperative and eager to make amends. Kelly's approach to resolution was completely uncalled for. As a host on airbnb, and therefore a member of the hospitality industry, she should be held accountable to uphold a higher standard of service. Her behavior and accusatory tone are absolutely unacceptable."
7842922,47313984,2015-09-17,6983776,Richard,"Bryan's place was fantastic - well-appointed, cozy, and very comfortable. The location was great for me (right by Torchy's Tacos, too!), providing quick access where I needed to be.

Bryan was more than hospitable, making my stay very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend his place, and I would stay there again without hesitation."
7842922,49080319,2015-09-30,25970889,Tal,Everything was just perfect ! Highly recommended. 
7842922,50336900,2015-10-11,44251349,Desirae,"Bryan was so helpful and so inviting. This was my first stay with Airbnb and it was great! The house was beautiful and in a great location. If I'm ever back in Austin, I hope Bryan's house is available! "
7842922,50884566,2015-10-15,4888223,Mitun,Great place.  Exactly as described.  Bryan is awesome.  It was extremely helpful and flexible with my schedule and definitely made me feel comfortable. 
4052037,21563705,2014-10-19,22414280,Taylor,"The home was dreamy. I caught myself just standing in the kitchen, breathing it in. It is a detail- oriented- person's dream home. Every detail was thought out in the design and architecture as well as the way we were welcomed into the space and made to feel right at home. We found that the proximity to the highway made it a great home base for exploring the city. Great proximity to shopping, grocery stores, Dell Children's Hospital, the science museum, Mueller area, and even a small food truck park. Walking/running trails, large windows and thoughtful outdoor spaces make this place a haven for nature lovers, while being close to amenities. It's a gem nestled in a charming little neighborhood full of unique, older homes. Erica was the most delightful host. Extremely helpful with fantastic neighborhood activities and restaurant suggestions as well as overly accommodating. She really went above and beyond to make our 2 night stay an amazing and memorable experience. I actually can't believe it was so special. "
4052037,22595726,2014-11-10,3075052,Jason,"Thank you, Erica. You're a wonderful host. We found your Austin tips hugely helpful and appreciated your introduction to the house and surrounding area.

The home itself is amazing both inside and out. The owner is a landscape architect and has impeccable taste and an incredible aesthetic. 

If you want a place outside of the heart of Austin with all the comforts of home, then this is your place. "
4052037,24619205,2014-12-31,1542944,Ben,"Erica was a fantastic host!  She even coordinated with us to make our Christmas stay even more festive by helping us get a tree to trim while we were in Austin.  Everything about this place was even better in person.  The house was perfect, and we took advantage of the fire pit, the spectacular kitchen, and the massive windows that lit the top floor.  The greenbelt in the back was convenient for runs, and we even walked into the city once or twice from this cool neighborhood.  Getting to downtown and to the airport by car is also a breeze from this great spot.  

We are definitely planning to take another trip to Austin in the future, and our stay with Erica as our host certainly contributed to that.  Thanks so much for everything, Erica!"
4052037,26993345,2015-02-23,1424321,Felicia,"We had a special situation requiring me to stop by the house before our stay and a few extra messages and she was happy and prompt to help us out. The house itself is nicely designed and decorated, peaceful, and the dining room / backyard is stellar for hanging out as weather permits. And the bathroom.... *swoons*. The photos are accurate but don't quite do the property justice.

I did notice the stairs are a bit steep so if you're with someone with mobility issues, just take note. Overall, a good experience and I would recommend for 1-3 people. Thanks Erica!"
1578730,7946347,2013-10-09,8168758,Edgar,"We had such a great time staying with Kristina & the girls at their lovely house! They were all very friendly & easygoing and both couches were very confy, in a separate room (a bonus for privacy) & perfect for our staying purposes. It was our very first time in the city and they were so kind to actually go and pick us up on our arrival so we didn't get lost in our way to their house (thx a lot once again Lena it's GREATLY appreciated!!). On top of that, they were so kind to leave a basket of snacks in our room for us to enjoy (thx a lot once again girls, you really didn't have to). They all were very kind and helpful at giving us directions & tips for things to do while in Austin and definitely made us feel at home. Excellent hostesses by all means. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend staying with them!! Hope to see you again soon girls!!!"
1578730,8809725,2013-11-18,8512511,Charles,"Perfect location, lovely group of people - they even took us out for a few drinks and showed us around town. Would happily visit again if going to austin for a night out or two. "
1578730,10412532,2014-02-17,2946801,Luke,"Had a great time in Austin, the house was in a cool spot just outside of downtown. Had no problem checking in or out, Kristina and her roommates were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again! "
1578730,11383773,2014-03-31,12266563,Lee,Kristina and her roommates were very accommodating. No issues checking in or out. This is a great location and a quick drive to downtown. Would recommend staying here. 
1578730,11678482,2014-04-11,14156709,Jim,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1578730,11980831,2014-04-20,14384110,Greg,Great host. Safe neighborhood. No problems at all. I had a great stay here. 
1578730,12305274,2014-04-28,11601790,Andrew,"Kristina and her housemates were extremely welcoming and provided many great recommendations about restaurants, bars, and music to see while I was in town. I would definitely recommend staying with them if you're looking for a chill habitation in Austin!"
1578730,12846476,2014-05-12,1279181,Matthew,"Kristina's place is awesome. Clean, spacious, and well-furnished. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Austin. "

1578730,16193073,2014-07-22,18414599,Zachary,A friend and I traveled to Austin to see some apartments. We needed a place to stay and Kristina was quick to oblige. Thanks! 
1578730,17605320,2014-08-14,4101398,Alex,At short notice we were welcomed into a homely and genuine environment. Two comfortable sofas and friendly housemates. We were taken out and shown a good time for a Monday night and given a multitude of other recommendations for the city and surrounding area. Much appreciated and would return to the 'red door'.
1578730,17914745,2014-08-18,19893611,Hytham,"Great location that's walking distance to Magnolia Cafe in a nice neighborhood.  The den is large and accommodating to multiple people, and Kristina was kind enough to allow me to use the kitchen after picking up food from a farmer's market downtown.  Her roommates are a fun, diverse group; staying there brought me back to my college years and showed me how great Austin really is!"
1578730,18966547,2014-09-03,20453661,Kelly Michael,I had a comfy experience at this location.  I think the listing was accurate to actual conditions.  This is house where college graduates are rooming before they setoff on life's big adventures.  Excellent location without being directly downtown but only 5 min drive.  If your landing at airport before - give the address to cabby before and have him use GPS for a quicker ride.  Kristina was very polite as well as all others in the house.  Conditions where clean and bedding was provided. 
1578730,19711947,2014-09-16,18764390,David,"Southern hospitality, it's here. Came into austin with a friend for a wedding and had a great stay here. They invited us into their home like we were their new roommates. Room had 2 a/c's we were very comfortable in the sweat box people call austin. They gave us great advice on places to eat drink and play...even had a night out with them and it was a killer time. If you're not from austin and need great hosts, they will show you what southern hospitality truly means. Thanks for having us!"
1578730,21280617,2014-10-14,17335012,Marlanea,We stayed for the second weekend of Austin City Limits music festival. Krystina and her roommates were great hosts and very accommodating. The house was walking distance to a safe walking/biking trail that led right into the city and into Zilker park! The location couldn't have been better! 
1578730,22070472,2014-10-29,9946501,Faraday,My friend and I came to Austin for the Austin Film Festival and Kristina and her roommates were very welcoming and accommodating.

1578730,22714146,2014-11-12,23119988,Matthew,"You can't ask for a better location. Right in downtown, safe neighborhood, a walk away from everything. Kristina is a great host. Very easy to talk to, and very accommodating. You'll be happy you chose to stay at her place."
1578730,22868358,2014-11-16,4304632,Ana,"This was my first experience with AirBB and it was great! It was nice to be welcomed by a friendly face. The room itself was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the room clean. It felt just like staying with a friend. We were not 100% prepared for the cold weather and Kristina was nice enough to offer her jacket and hats to us. She also provided great recommendations and overall made Austin feel like home! "
1578730,23141199,2014-11-23,20944718,Pamela,"This was our first experience using Airbnb and we were not disappointed. Kristina and her roommate were a delight. Their recommendation for dinner and drinks was awesome. Their apartment is cute, quaint and in a great location. Had an amazing time!"

1578730,24207309,2014-12-22,10083670,Gregory,"Kristina was a very generous host. She provided towels, toiletries, and some snacks. Her apartment is very clean and she lives in a great location relative to 6th Street, the Market District, and the Warehouse District. Highly recommended. "
1578730,28249348,2015-03-21,25693729,Stephanie,"Kristina was a kind and wonderful host! She did everything possible to make me feel comfortable and welcome in her home. The location is great for access to downtown Austin. I stayed during SXSW and was able to walk to the Convention Center (although it is a little over a mile), as well as all theaters and venues. The neighborhood is very quite and safe and provided a nice refuge from all the commotion downtown that happens during the festival, I also felt comfortable walking home at night.  Overall it was a great alternative to high priced hotels. "
1578730,29911279,2015-04-14,26965503,Alex,"Location, location, location! Can't beat it. Great Victorian house within walking distance to 6th street. No car needed! Kristina was a great host, made coffee in the mornings and was a joy to talk to. The room is very spacious and has easy in and out access from the street. Again thank you Kristina and sorry about losing the key."
1578730,30438857,2015-04-22,24909563,Catherine,"Kristina is a wonderful and welcoming hostess, and I had a really terrific time in Austin! The location is incredibly convenient to the restaurants and night life - all within walking distance, and I never felt the need for a rental car. The house is a great old Victorian, and the ""shire"" portion (Kristina's part of the house) is clean and very comfortable. The room was bigger than I expected, and I felt very much at home. From the stairs leading up to the doorway, there's a bit of a view of the city, and it's just a few blocks to the Art Wall, Whole Foods (seriously amazing), shops and fabulous restaurants. This is the perfect ""hub"" to explore Austin from. 

Kristina is a terrific hostess - she had excellent suggestions for me, and I really enjoyed chatting with her. She's very attentive if you need anything at all (I found everything was there for me already, but she was good about asking), and she's also great about giving guests privacy. Truly recommend staying here! "
1578730,30762970,2015-04-27,27202664,Lee,"Austin is an amazing city. The people are great, the food is awesome, and the overall atmosphere is one you need to discover. Kristina was a very important part to the trip. Her kindness and knowledge brought something extra special to my experience. She is a great host and a great person. I would definitely recommend this location. All the best my friends. 

Lee"
1578730,31297827,2015-05-04,15792177,Andrew,"What a great spot!  Comfy bed, clean, friendly, and wonderfully located, massive 1br rental.  Host could not have been any nicer!  A must stay in Austin!"
1578730,31872558,2015-05-11,2382632,Scott,"Baylor street is a small street off of 6th street, the perfect location.  Nearby restaurants, but not too near all of the bars and restaurants.  We walked and Uber'd almost everywhere (Uver was never more than $6) .  Whole Foods is right across the street if you want to pick up snacks or coffee.  

Kristina was super communicative and had everything worked out for us when we arrived (she was out of town while we were there).  Would definitely come back."
1578730,33878320,2015-06-01,4309084,Elizabeth,"Kristina was absolutely delightful! She provided great tips on local spots. The apartment itself is a great lcoation! Not only can you stroll to 6th street, there are multiple bus stops in close proximity to get anywhere in Austin. The air conditioning was wonderful! Thanks for accomodating us last minute!"
1578730,41393634,2015-08-07,29001281,Zoë,"Such a great time in Austin. Kristina's place was nice & in a great location. It's the perfect place to stay when you need a nice, comfy place for the evening. Didn't spend too much time there but every time I saw Kristina & her roommate they were so friendly & hospitality. "
1578730,48002068,2015-09-22,5406541,Courtland,"Amazing host, great room and perfect location!  Kristina was very responsive, attentive, clean, respectful, and was always available for anything.  She is a natural host and did everything possible to make my stay as enjoyable as possible.  The room was perfect - it was huge, clean, and had a comfortable bed and pillows.  It's much larger than I expected and I felt like I had an apartment to myself.  Kristina's location is amazing in what I think is the best district of Austin - Old West Austin.  The house is on a quiet street a 2 minute walk from tons of stores and the Whole Foods flagship store - it's amazing!  I would recommend this place to anybody and I will definitely stay here again when I'm in Austin.  Thanks Kristina!"
7821983,50453389,2015-10-12,41168087,Courtney,Kelly was an excellent host. Her house accommodated my 5 friends and I perfectly. It was walking distance to ACL which made it very convienent. I would recommend this place to anyone and especially to a group of friends who are attending the music festival. 
6403925,33318823,2015-05-26,10741347,Xiaoyu,"Did not see Edward during my stay but met Travis and Brian. Good place with a couple of day's stay. Near the river so the view was pretty good. People in the house were really easy going and friendly, and brought me to see different places. Really good experience in all."

6403925,44465574,2015-08-26,40891394,Andrew,"The stay here was fantastic. It was maybe due to the people, but also the house itself was of a high standard with enough amenities in order for every guest to have a good time and live in the way they felt suited them best. There are a good number of places to eat near the room, including some good quality food trucks. Having Travis in the house to make everyone feel welcome, to look after the place and to even go the extra mile and drive anyone with no transport to places they needed or even wanted to go was a great touch. That made this place stand out as one of the best paces I have ever stayed. There aren’t many places to stay where you actually feel like you miss the place and the people once you leave. "

4776659,26250803,2015-02-08,8120053,Tiffany,"Our group of 10 really enjoyed our stay at David's townhouse. The house was spotless, inviting, and spacious for everyone. Everything was just as described and displayed in the pictures. David went out of his way to welcome us by providing helpful information about the house and suggestions for things to do/eat in the area. He was also great about communicating promptly to ensure all of our questions were answered prior to our trip. We can't wait to stay here again the next time we're in town. Thank you!"
4776659,26595449,2015-02-16,8848615,Stephen,Davids place was very clean and had everything we needed. He was very good at communicating ahead of our trip along with instructions and details of the area. The house was beautiful and spacious and the neighborhood was very nice. If I were to come back to Austin we would definitely book with David again. Could not have asked for a better situation with our group of 10. Thanks again!
4776659,26930902,2015-02-22,26787307,Nicole,"I cannot say enough good things about our experience! David maintained excellent communication with me the entire time and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Our party consisted of 6 women and we needed enough beds/ bathrooms to accommodate our group. The house was beautiful, clean and well organized. I was so impressed by how clean everything was! There were plenty of towels and toiletries. The directions to the house and the instructions provided upon arrival and check out were clear and concise. The location of the house was perfect for us! I will say the development is very new. Construction is still going on around David's property. The noise was challenging in the mornings however David was honest about this. Keep in mind this is temporary and would not keep me from booking again. Our only other slight issue was the automatic fans on the second and third floors. We all attempted to get them to work and were unable to do so. Not sure if they legitimately were not working or if we simply could not figure them out. Something else that really impressed us and said a lot about David's character happened upon checkout. That morning a couple of the girls were sick and I asked David if we could extend checkout by an hour or two. He gave us 2 extra hours at no cost to us. It meant so much to all of us! I would highly recommend working with David! I know I would again!"
4776659,28118695,2015-03-18,6819687,Elmer,"We visited Austin for SxSW. David's place is beautiful, a spacious townhouse in a very nice neighborhood. The reservation went very swift. David provided us with some information upfront, like driving instructions and parking information that was quite useful. We felt very welcome upon arrival. Bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. Easy and fast internet access throughout the whole house. Just a 10 min drive to the city center. Great place. Would definitely stay here again when visiting SxSW. "
4776659,28303215,2015-03-22,26023805,Kyley,"My company rented out David's townhouse when we were in Austin for SXSW. It was even better than how it was described! It was clean, beautifully designed and equipped with everything you could possibly need. David was a pleasure to deal with throughout the booking process and gave some great recommendations for nearby restaurants. The house is located in a new develpment with restaurants, coffee shops, a gas station and (HUGE) grocery store just across the street. It was nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of DT, yet be a quick Uber or Cab ride to Downtown Austin. I would absolutely stay here again, no complaints!"
4776659,28713438,2015-03-29,26910146,Maggie,"David's place is wonderful! We had 10 girls share the space for a Bachelorette party, and it was the perfect place for us (read: plenty of bathrooms for getting ready!)! We arrived to a beautiful and spotless home and the wine and cookies David had left for us were the cherry on top. 

Initially, we didn't know much about the location and surrounding area, and were hesitant to book, as we had planned to stay downtown. However, once we arrived, we found the location to be extremely ideal. It is in the midst of a beautiful development and is across the street from a huge grocery store and the newest location of Torchy's Tacos (SO delicious!). The area is just a short Uber ride from downtown. 

David was very communicative and accommodating throughout the whole process. He was flexible with the check-in/check-out times and even readjusted our rate when our number of guests decreased just a week before our stay. 

I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone!"
4776659,31161666,2015-05-03,21483685,Tiya,"David was so accommodating to the ice/snow storm in Feb he worked with our big group of girls and rescheduled our stay for May. The place is amazing and reminded all of us of LA or New York. We were in awe. A welcome treat was waiting for us and clear instructions on checking out and amenities, etc. We would use David' s place every time we come to Austin!"
4776659,31859704,2015-05-10,32669724,Ramon,"Absolutely great! When we got to the house (which was really easy to find using David's directions), we felt very welcome right away. Everything was extremely clean and tidy, and David left us some wine and cookies as a welcome gift! The neighborhood is really nice and quite, and had everything at walking distance. David also left a binder with suggestions of what to do in Austin. (he recommended the Oasis and we loved it!). I also really liked the fact that he uses codes to get in the house avoiding problems with keys, specially for big groups. Overall it was a great experience I am sure I will be back to David's place!"
4776659,32365983,2015-05-17,6824618,Alfredo,David did a great job in keeping constant contact with me and answering any questions I had. 
4776659,32956093,2015-05-24,3517456,Matt,"David left us a bottle of wine and cookies when we arrived.  The entry is coded so we could get into the town home ourselves.  The place worked out really well for us.  Very spacious for our party.  There is neighborhood shopping within walking distance so we were able to get our caffeine fix at Starbucks, breakfast and lunch tacos at Torchy's Tacos, and very large HEB grocery store as well.  The town home was quiet and we would definitely come back."
4776659,34342614,2015-06-07,33936597,Zachary,"I hosted a bachelor party for 6 guys at David's place this past weekend and I have to say it was a great experience! His place had more than enough sleeping room for my party of 6 and could have easily slept 10 people. Parking was surprisingly easy as well, there were 2 spots in the garage and plenty of free parking on Page Street which is literally about 30 feet away from the house. There were 3 full size bathrooms upstairs (fully stocked with towels, toiletries, shampoo, and even a hair dryer) and a half bathroom downstairs. Each room in the house had it's own remote controlled A/C unit which was a nice bonus to have as well. Last but not least, the overall location was probably the best thing about the house. It's about 5 min away from downtown Austin, about 10 min away from places like Dave and Busters/Main Event/K1 Speed Go Cart Racing (which is what we did Saturday afternoon), and about 10 min away from the Yellow Rose Gentleman's Club (which is what we did Saturday night). There was also a large shopping center about 2 blocks away from the house which included an HEB, a liquor store, a Starbucks, and several small restaurants which was extremely convenient to have so close. One of the only things I might have possibly liked to seen different about the place is the location of the TV (there was no TV in the main downstairs living room, it was located on the third floor). But other than that, it was an absolutely terrific place to stay at and I highly recommend it anyone wanting to stay around the Austin area"
4776659,35003106,2015-06-14,31050049,Onken,"This place was great. It was comfortable, accommodating and the most important- clean! David was great hosting us. He greeted us as we pulled in, gave us important information and left us alone. He also left cookies and a bottle of wine. This house is in a perfect location. Heb, torchys tacos, and a liquor store is near. My friends and I had a blast and will definitely rent David's house again. "
4776659,35616577,2015-06-20,35902144,Michael,Nice house and great location! David was very responsive.
4776659,36422935,2015-06-28,34785800,Greg,"The listing was spot on, and everything we could have asked for. The neighborhood was very clean, and was surrounded by a number of shops and local restaurants. It was a uber ride to downtown Austin, but just far enough away to not be disturbed by constant traffic or city noise. This location would be great for groups of 6+"
4776659,38950500,2015-07-19,38460881,Paxton,"Fantastic place, even better than advertised!  The neighborhood was awesome...if you visit, don't miss out on Torchy's Tacos a block away!

David was the perfect host and can't thank him enough for trusting me with his home.  Stop hunting and book with David today!!"
4776659,39763449,2015-07-26,18755126,Justin,"Our family had a great time at David's house in Mueller.  It was new, clean, modern, and was in a great location for our needs.  It was helpful have HEB (grocery store) a short walk away as well as several other stores like Starbucks.  It wasn't too hard to find with google maps and every room has it's on climate zone.  We used every bedroom and had a full house.  The main kitchen, dining, living room area is a little tight with a full house but everything overall is great.  Netflix and Hulu were great to have and easy to access.  David was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay."
4776659,41848152,2015-08-09,17169486,Sanjeev,"David was in communication before we arrived. He sent useful information about the house and the local area. He left us a bottle of wine to greet us.

The listing was accurate.

The neighborhood was a new development. It felt safe and there were local conveniences such as a grocery store, gas station, restaurants, just a few minutes walk away."
4776659,42937159,2015-08-16,19404,Alex,"***** Listing is great!  You and your friends will love this place.  Access is super easy with coded entry.  Super safe brand new development with easy access to HEB, torchy's tacos and Mod Pizza right across the street.  

Well equipped with everything you need: washing machines are brand new, blender, dishwasher, etc. All with the stuff you need to run them.  New IKEA beds (spring mattresses) and bedding was super comfy. 

Roku lets you get Netflix streaming, Vevo tv, and sling (if you have your own logins)."
4776659,43707223,2015-08-21,19136122,Tom,"This was an incredible stay. I was in town for a real estate conference and had two other agents with me. Our initial reaction to walking into the space was, ""WOW"". We walk into a lot of homes for a living and this one sold us quickly. Communication was exceptional from the beginning. We had everything we needed and after a long day of sitting in a large conference hall listening to people talk this was a welcome retreat. Since the three of us had different desires for evening entertainment we utilized Uber and getting around was a breeze. If you are looking for a great host with a phenomenal place to stay, stop right now and book this space. DAVID ROCKS!!! "
4776659,44974208,2015-08-30,41070628,Daniel,"David was excellent to work with. He was easy to communicate with and allowed us an early check in / late check out.

The town home was well maintained and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. 

Overall we enjoyed our stay very much."
4776659,45969504,2015-09-07,20362050,Jesse,"The house was great!  Had everything you would need, and in a great location.  I would recommend this place to anyone. "
4776659,46820918,2015-09-13,34769931,Vinh,"We had a wonderful experience at David's property. The house was clean, modern and had everything we needed. At night, it is quiet and felt very safe. The area of Mueller is very nice and convenient with a brand new HEB across the street. It is close to downtown Austin and all the restaurants and food trucks. David was easy to get ahold of and all the information he provided us was very detailed and organized. We will definitely recommend this property to our friends and family if they need a place to rent next time. "
4776659,47653481,2015-09-21,37770131,Jeffrey, This is a wonderful place to stay while lamented and comfortable. It's location close to ace stripmall allows access to a wonderful supermarket Starbucks liquor store and good food. 
4776659,48548957,2015-09-27,28050540,Carol,"This is an awesome place to stay. We took 5 teens to Austin to go to a UT football game. The location is in a nice and newer looking neighborhood. It was easy to get to the campus from here.
David left wine and cookies on the table for our arrival. The pictures and description are accurate. The individual AC controls were also a plus. We would stay here again.
"
4776659,49423941,2015-10-04,34351110,Maggie,We thoroughly enjoyed David's place.  It was so clean and nice.  We definitely would stay here again.  We were a group of 8 girls and felt very safe in this neighborhood.  Walking distances to HEB and Starbucks great location. 
4776659,52209313,2015-10-27,35748389,John,"Having recently stayed a David's lovely house it was sincerely a pleasure, fully kitted out with all the amenities, as my trip was a work trip the excellent internet connection was of real benefit.

The house is set out really nice and having the additional lounge area on the top floor was great and so relaxing and away from it all.

Location wise was good having a Starbucks, supermarket and local bar all 5mins walk away was very convenient, whilst also having the capacity to go downtown to enjoy all the bars and restaurants was only at (phone number hidden) taxi ride.

Highly recommended to all for a enjoyable break!    "
2257304,10922561,2014-03-13,6666699,Marta,"Clarksville Cottage was the perfect base for our SXSW experience. Although it wasn't in the centre of the action, the cottage is in a beautiful neighbourhood and the (fairly small) distance from the main downtown hub actually provided a little respite from the madness. There are lots of cool places to check out nearby and although there are frequent and convenient bus routes nearby, the walk downtown is beautiful. Whole Foods is a 15-20 minute walk away, but there are quite a few great upscale independent places to check out much closer. Angela was a fantastic host, leaving us a list of recommendations for great bars and BBQ and brunch spots, and was great with communicating with us before we arrived to make sure everything would go as smoothly as possible. "
2257304,28068660,2015-03-17,12912669,Katherine,We were in town for SXSW. The cottage was in a perfect location- close enough for easy access to the venues but also far enough to get away from the crowds to enjoy some charming local restaurants in Clarkesville. Our cabin was equally charming and well maintained. Perfect to come back to after a long day. Angela was highly responsive and flexible in accommodating our arrival and departure times. Thanks Angela!
2257304,28314258,2015-03-22,11707625,Mark,"Everything was as described
Amazing place
She welcomed us with a fresh plate of brownies 
Great restaurants in the area"
2257304,49423523,2015-10-04,11943044,Heather,"Angela's apartment was perfect for my weekend at ACL! The interior reminded me so much of Austin! It was a great location, not in the center of all the action but only a 5 minute uber ride. Her back patio is also adorable! Would love to stay again if I am ever in the area."
2257304,50435660,2015-10-12,29923999,Will,We stayed at Angela's place for for ACL. The place was great and slept all of us comfortably. Location was also great. Would recommend to a friend. 
921018,3822377,2013-03-18,4836786,Ryan,"Raina & Aaron's house was an absolutely perfect home base during SXSW-- just a few short blocks away from all of the action, which in the past few years has increasingly moved east of the highway. Tucked quietly away on a side street just off E. 7th, it's totally isolated from all the noise, which adds to its already restful vibe. The house has two spacious bedrooms (both with incredibly comfortable beds), plus a bright living room and dining area, a huge backyard with fire pit, and even a cozy hammock in front. And whether you're staying for SXSW or just visiting Austin, the location is perfect with endless options for restaurants, groceries, and nightlife a few blocks to both the north and south. 

Aaron was an incredibly gracious and hospitable host, walking us through the place upon our arrival, and responded promptly via text to the few questions we had during our stay. I actually wish I lived here full time. I couldn't recommend it more highly."
921018,10918276,2014-03-13,104131,Zal,"Beautiful home just 10 minutes walking distance from the center of town. Great place to hang out during SXSW! Comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, and even a cute little cat that hangs out around the house. Overall, extremely clean and convenient. Raina was super responsive as well and had everything ready for us upon arrival. Two thumbs up!!"
921018,27923329,2015-03-15,5824904,Kathleen,"Raina and Aaron were fantastic hosts. Raina welcomed me with their adorable kids. Got me set up and showed me everything. The house is perfectly located for SXSW. Has a great kitchen, yard and comfortable bedrooms. Everything had it's place and is very well designed. Lovely home. "
1640231,7836396,2013-10-05,174109,Trey,"I really enjoyed my stay at Jamie and Aja's place!  It is recently remodeled and very well done, with nice wood floors and modern fixtures in the bathroom.  It was centrally located, within easy walking and biking distance of many Eastside cafes, bars, and the Town Lake.  They were very helpful and professional with coordination, and provided coffee, shampoo, linens, and food.  I will definitely stay with them again when I'm in Austin!  "
1640231,7972186,2013-10-10,8300303,Madeleine,"We came to Austin for a three-day conference, and could not have asked for a better AirBNB, host or location.  Jamie and Aja's gorgeous duplex has recently been renovated and is very clean and well-kept.  Jamie was accessible and easy to coordinate with.  Upon meeting with her to check in, she gave me a detailed list that answered most of the initial questions we had.  Jamie and Aja provided all of the amenities we needed during our stay - an iron, a full dish set in the kitchen, food in the fridge, and more towels than most hotels do!  They even offered to do our laundry, had we needed it.  The new bath and shower work better than the ones in my apartment.  Many locations say that they are ""walkable/bikable"" and centrally located, but this one really is.  Whether you are coming for a music festival, show or for a work function downtown, there are sidewalks on several residential streets just north of Cesar Chavez that you can take all the way downtown if you choose to walk or take the bike in the duplex (lock and light provided).  We also took the 17 Capital Metro bus to the convention center one morning and to get to the bars on 6th Street. The 17 connects to bus routes that will take you to South Congress and a number of other districts.  There are dining/drinking options for everyone in the neighborhood.  Overall, staying at Jamie's place was the best AirBNB experience I have ever had.  I have already told several friends about this place, and will definitely be staying here again next time I am in Austin."
1640231,8095244,2013-10-15,6835388,Rory,"Jaime's apartment was wonderful and spacious.  Each individual space was laid out and decorated well with good lighting and blinds when needed.  The kitchen was huge with everything you could need.  The new bathroom was excellent with a huge soaking tub and stand alone shower, and the towels may have been the softest towels I've ever used!  The swing on the porch was spot on and we used it everyday to chill out on.  On our last day we found a great little restraunt up the road ""Juan in a Million"", nothing fancy just good Mexican food and a cool vibe set by the owner who shakes everyones hand when you walk in..icing on the cake.
Jaime left the keys for us along with some instructions and tips.  She checked in with us a few times and answered everything we asked and even gave us some travel tips that saved us some good time from the airport.
I would definitely recommend her space to anyone and use it again myself.
Good times..."
1640231,8266296,2013-10-22,3359163,Linda,"My boyfriend and I had a great visit to Austin, and Jamie's place was a perfect location from which to explore the city.  Jamie was easy to coordinate with and she provided us with everything we'd need for a weekend, or a longer stay, including advice for how to get around and where to eat.  She's clearly done a lot of work on her duplex, which had great finishes and a lot of personality. We hope next time we're in town we might get the chance to see Jamie and Aja compete with the Texas Rollergirls!"
1640231,8414136,2013-10-29,9188260,Laurissa,Jamie was a great hostess and the place was amazing to stay at.  The only regret that we had was that we couldn't stay longer.  The location is great and everything was super clean and cozy.  We truly felt like we were staying with friends and hope to stay here again on our future trips to Austin.
1640231,8784700,2013-11-18,9133616,Lisa,"My friends and I had a great time staying at Jamie's humble abode. She kept the place very clean and easy to use. No complaints whatsoever. It was perfect for us b/c we didn't run into Austin traffic from downtown. 

Lisa"
1640231,8841874,2013-11-20,1421555,Justin,Great location you can walk or drive to alot of good restaurants and bars. The place is large and clean and the host is very helpful and caring. I 100% recommend this place.
1640231,8872812,2013-11-23,9773055,Kate,"We had a great stay at Jamie's place. The house was cute and clean, looked just like the photos, and was well stocked for a guest. She was available and helpful during our stay. We especially loved having a big fenced in backyard for our pup to run around in, that was a bonus. The place is about 2 miles from downtown, which we walked no problem during the day and just took a cab home. "
1640231,8933534,2013-11-26,285872,Alberto,"Jamie was great and was very helpful. Here place was also great and clean and really comfortable!

I would definitely stay there again!"
1640231,8962888,2013-11-28,10061079,Rebecca,"Jamie is very nice and her place is extremely clean. We were in Austin on a cold couple days and were very comfortable. We did use the bike, it was good for the bike path but the brakes were weak, I wouldn't use it on the roads. I appreciated not having to rent a bike. There were several good places to eat near her place too."
1640231,9164240,2013-12-10,6764826,Whitney,"Jamie was a great host - very responsive and accommodating. Her place is super comfy with lots of simple touches to make you feel right at home. Loved the location, within walking distance to several of east Austin's best bars, restaurants, and music venues. "
1640231,9257428,2013-12-16,2103845,Donald,"Jamie and Aja were great hosts.  Prior to the trip, all communications were timely and informative.  Jamie messaged me a few times to make sure my arrival was ok and to see if I had any questions.  She also provided a ton of information on local attractions.

The apartment was clean and comfortable.  In all honesty, it was almost too comfortable as I did not get out as much as I was hoping and spent time relaxing in the house.  All necessary items were provided.  The location was a big selling point, as many food/drink options were a short walk away, as well as a nice trail on Town Lake.

All in all, I had a memorable weekend and would stay here again, or at least highly recommend it to people I like.

Thanks, Y'all!"
1640231,9445425,2013-12-29,1913481,Maryse,"Jamie's place is very spacious with a big kitchen and very nice remodeled bathroom. Jamie left clear notes about her studio, I appreciate the fact that she encourages her guests to recycle!
We were three  people and used the sofa bed as well as the bed and spent six nights.  A long stay!  It is conveniently located with a parking area and it is easy access and close to downtown.

1640231,9554868,2014-01-02,9953925,Maggie,"Jamie's place was great!  Well located, well equipped, clean.....all the things you want in a rental.  She also provided us with a list of things to check out in the city, which was really helpful.  "
1640231,9840161,2014-01-13,2933960,Aaren,"I really enjoyed staying at Jamie's place over the weekend. It was simply decorated and very cozy, not to mention a great location for everything I wanted to do. She was a fantastic host and wrote us a handwritten letter welcoming us to her home and a list of places and restaurants to go to. One place we did try and ended up being the best meal i've had in a while. i'd love to stay here again in future.
 "
1640231,9928006,2014-01-20,1102524,Erin,"When we arrived we immediately liked the space and thought it was very nicely done and was very clean. However, because the house is on a main street we heard a lot of street noise and we had a tough time sleeping during our stay there. The hosts did provide earplugs, however we did not find out about them until the second night. I tend to be a light sleeper, my partner not, but we both had troubles sleeping here, even with the ear plugs in! In regards to the apartment, that really is the only complaint and unfortunately it would deter us from staying there again if we were back in Austin. The location is alright, we ended up getting a bus pass for 24 hours most days ($2US) as we could have walked but it is a good 20-25 minutes to get to downtown. After spending time in SoCo (South Congress) we felt it was more of a lively area for younger people and next time would opt to stay there. If you are staying in East Austin, make sure to visit Veracruz All Natural for breakfast tacos and watermelon agua fresca and J Mueller BBQ - both amazing foodie places!

All in all the trip was good, we had a great time eating and drinking our way through Austin but unfortunately the street noise at the house was slightly too much for us. Jamie was doing some renovations on the place the weekend we were there, including putting in new door frames to combat the noise, so perhaps with better insulation the noise will be significantly less. We only met Jamie on the last day but she was very helpful with anything we needed and always responded in a timely manner. "
1640231,10379866,2014-02-17,10485834,Andrew,Awesome stay in beautiful Austin - the place is neat and inviting and Jamie is a fantastic host.  She really goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need.
1640231,10917275,2014-03-13,3279802,Micho,"This experience was truly wonderful. Jamie was extremely amiable. Great apartment with a super location in the heart of EastSide. Nevertheless, a quiet and safe location. The apartment was exactly as Jamie said it would be. Very cozy, tidy and clean. Everything you need is in place. I had a great time and would come back immediately!"

1640231,12841498,2014-05-12,9987172,Rosa,"We loved our stay!! It was very comfortable, we were there to explore and at times wanted to just stay in and relax inside or on the swing porch outside. There were 'extras' in the bathroom like if you forgot your shampoo, lotion, etc. and my 9 yr loved the robe that was available. The fridge also had a few extras, like the beer that went well with my friend's tacos! The bed was super comfy and it had extra pillows. We hope to be back next year already!! "
1640231,13106876,2014-05-19,15213821,Angela,"My boyfriend and I had a great experience here! The location is very convenient, close to Town Lake, Rainey Street, downtown, etc; we never had to drive very far. It was also pretty quiet. We really didn’t hear the street noise at night even though it is close to the road. 

The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, which made cooking easy. The bed was super comfortable, which was great! 

Overall, I would highly recommend this place! 

Also, I left some items behind and Jamie promptly called me before we left town so I could come back and get them, which was definitely above and beyond. :)"
1640231,13679410,2014-06-02,5335898,Maria,"Jamie and Aja were ideal hosts! And everything about their place was super convenient! Thanks to their key lock-box, check-in was made extremely easy for our party of three arriving at different times. Jaime was also kind enough to offer me an early check-in as well, since my flight arrived on the early side.
The apartment is in a great area. Really hip neighborhood with cute local eateries all around, and it's also just a quick 10min bus-ride into the CBD (and the bus stop is only a minute's walk from the apartment!). Food and bars within walking distance are superb though, so you never feel short of options. We didn't stay long enough to want to cook at the apartment, but if you do, the kitchen is GREAT and fully stocked.
Upon arriving at the apartment, it was so nice to find homey touches -- a guest book with lovely messages from previous Airbnb-ers; a list of 'things to do' in Austin; and a house guide so you know exactly how to access everything, and where to find stuff. Jamie was also sure to reiterate that she could be reached any time, if we had any questions about anything. The apartment is really everything you want in an Airbnb place: in addition to being well located, it was super clean, comfortable, easy to find, and stocked with essentials (like: coffee & tea; there was even a new unopened carton of milk when we arrived; shampoos; extra linens/towels, etc!). Bed was very comfy and shower pressure was top notch too!  
Finally, Jamie was an excellent and prompt communicator, and really flexible. Though living right next door in the attached (separate) apartment, we never got to meet, but it was nice to know they were right there in case we might need something! Everything about booking with Jamie and Aja was a breeze: for example, when I first inquired about the place, Jamie was on a long drive back to Austin, but still made a point to message me to say she saw my note and would reply asap. This was just the first of so many interactions that made for an easy booking, and wonderful stay. I'm definitely booking here again if I'm ever in Austin in the future! I'd recommend staying with Jamie and Aja to anyone!!"
1640231,13977035,2014-06-09,15650028,Maxwell,I was so comfortable at Jamie and Aja's house. Jamie was very easy to communicate with and made it easy for us to come and go. The furniture was very comfortable and the amenities and decor were very nice. Their house is located in an interesting part of Austin and I hope to come again soon. Would love to stay with Jamie and Aja again. Thank you so much! P.S. great book selection.
1640231,15325507,2014-07-07,4869905,Meredith,"We had such  wonderful time visiting Austin. Staying in this apartment was like a home away from home. The apartment was very clean and spacious and we took advantage of borrowing the two bikes that the hosts offered, which was a great way to get around Austin and experience the trails around the lake. Jamie was readily available to help and answer any questions we had.

We hope to stay again soon!

1640231,16575651,2014-07-29,5953883,Cristiana,"Awesome, comfortable apartment in an easily bikable area close to downtown. The hosts were very helpful and welcoming. Thanks for a great stay!"
1640231,16840299,2014-08-03,11846719,Sara,"While I didn't actually stay here, the three interns who I manage really enjoyed Aja and Jamie's abode. Their place is very well-kept, clean and is in a great location if you are hoping to enjoy the East-side a little bit more. I would book their place again in the future!"
1640231,18084635,2014-08-21,13575257,Eileen,"When Jamie met us we were made to feel completely at home immediately.  She was quite friendly and assured us she would be available to answer any questions or concerns we might have, and she was!

The location was very good for us and easily accessible.  The apartment is charming, spacious, clean and well appointed.  The furnishings-bed, couch, chairs-were quite comfortable. Very good sized bathroom with new tub and sink, and a shower that had very good water pressure.  The attached shampoo and conditioner containers were a nice touch.  Linens were plentiful.  

Occasional traffic noise but nothing that interfered with sleep. 

All in all a quite comfortable and relaxing experience!    "
1640231,18337677,2014-08-25,19077139,Bryan,The house was clean and charming.  The host was flexible and accommodating.  It was the best stay we've ever had in Austin!!
1640231,18560634,2014-08-28,1550499,Chelsea,I really enjoyed my stay. Great place. 
1640231,19280726,2014-09-09,16643363,Laura,"Jamie and Aja do a great job. The house is clean, well-appointed, and comfortable, and gives you a feel for what it's like to live in Austin instead of just being a tourist. They give you your space but at the same time are accessible if anything needing their attention comes up - exactly as described in their user profile. 

The location is really convenient with easy access to 6th/downtown, and with many good restaurants and bars within walking distance. The house itself has been nicely renovated and stylishly furnished, the bed and other furniture is comfortable, and the kitchen is well-stocked with equipment and ingredients if you decide to cook. The bathroom is large and comfortable especially for the size of the space, and everything you need is provided.

Would book again without hesitation. This is our third trip to Austin and their place definitely added to the experience."
1640231,19705560,2014-09-16,21009784,Joel,"Amazing stay! Very nice little place at a great price. We were within walking distance to some of the coolest bits of Austin, or at worst a short Uber ride to 6th street. We somehow never managed to cross paths, but Jamie and Aja were quick to respond to any emails or texts. Everything was prepared and laid out with easy instructions for any questions we might have had. We would love to stay there again! You have to walk toward downtown three minutes for awesome breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million, and Cenote is great breakfast, lunch or dinner...just a half mile. There was so much to explore we never made it to biking around! Very gracious and helpful hosts."
1640231,20103244,2014-09-23,3282751,Leah,"This was a lovely place, exactly as described in the ad, and Aja and Jamie were excellent communicators which made us feel really welcome. "
1640231,20512960,2014-09-30,7452791,Toni,Lovely place & great hosts! This was the perfect place to stay on our first visit to Austin. Walking distance to lots of great breweries & food places. Really enjoyed having access to the bikes too - thank you!!
1640231,20986976,2014-10-09,7408606,Alexa,We had a super experience staying at Jamie and Aja's place. They provided tons of well organized info about the space and the location ahead of time which was really helpful.  During our stay Jamie was also very quick to reply to any questions we had.  The location is also fantastic for being able to easily access lots of Austin! Juice bar across the street is AMAZING. Thank-you!
1640231,21413194,2014-10-17,14733902,Aaron,Jamie and Aja's suite in Austin is awesome. Very cozy with all the amenities we needed for our week long stay in Austin. Awesome neighbourhood with plenty of restaurants and cool cocktail bars to check out. Jamie was great at giving us advice on where to go and what to check out while we were in Austin. Would definitely recommend staying here if you are planning on visiting this amazing city.
1640231,22062732,2014-10-29,3893588,Stephanie,"Though I didn't meet the ladies in person, they were available at any time and responded almost instantly. Their home is warm and lovely and I regret not taking advantage of their giant tub (the shower had great water pressure and temperature). The internet seemed to be spotty in the late evening, but simply logging out and logging on again seemed to work. The home is stocked with toiletries, which comes in handy when you discover that you've forgotten body wash or toothpaste. Their library selection was a nice surprise. The street traffic was noticeable, but in the middle of the night is non existent. I had no trouble sleeping.  I would recommend their place and plan on staying again on future visits. "
1640231,22582011,2014-11-10,5332640,Jamie,"We couldn't have lucked out more -- this place was fantastic. A 2 minute uber ride to downtown, a 5 minute uber ride to SoCo, down the street from all the East Austin spots. The house was spacious and clean and the perfect size for two friends or a couple. Jamie and Aja were great hosts! They contacted us to make sure we got in okay and asked if there was anything we needed, and also made recommendations of things to do in the city. Very welcoming :) 5 stars!"
1640231,22901365,2014-11-17,11771683,Katie,"The house was as expected - everything was clean and as described. Unfortunately we weren't able to use the bikes as we hoped due to cold weather. If I do return, I would probably choose to stay in South Congress area - it seemed that's where most of the action was while we were there. The only complain I have is that the street noise is very loud!! Much louder than anticipated."
1640231,23175849,2014-11-24,7257542,Katherine,Jamie and Aja were fantastic hosts! They were very responsive and happy to answer all our questions. The apartment was lovely and spotless. We had a great time in Austin - can't wait to come back!
1640231,23388360,2014-11-30,12929836,Jennifer,"Enjoyed our stay at Jamie and Aja's place over Thanksgiving holiday.  House was exactly as pictured, nicely decorated and well-equipped.  Location was convenient to where we wanted to be.  Street noise didn't bother us as we aren't really light sleepers.   "
1640231,24501016,2014-12-29,9758036,Anna,"Great hosts and great space. Very comfortable bed and great kitchen if you want to cook. Also very responsive even when we checked in on Christmas Day. 

The white-noise machine helped with the street noise. 

The space is located in the east side but really easy to get around town. Downtown was super easy. 

All in all a great experience and they were also accommodating to our dog! (Huge plus!)"
1640231,24717714,2015-01-02,1002110,Sameer,"We had a great stay at Jaime & Aja's place during our New Years trip to Austin. The space was exactly as pictured, well decorated, and with plenty of space. The bed was super comfortable. There was some street noise, but not enough to bother us - and there's a white noise machine which helped at night. The apartment is in East Austin, so there are plenty of great restaurants, coffee shops, shops, and bars within walking distance. And downtown is only a 20 minute walk away. Jaime & Aja were fantastic hosts and very helpful & responsive."
1640231,25248191,2015-01-10,404518,Jacqueline,"Super cute and well-appointed duplex in East Austin! Highlights: dog-friendly home and walking distance to Counter Culture and JuiceLand. You're also close to great spots like Bufalina, Jacoby's, E 6th Street bars, etc. The house has everything you could need and more, and I couldn't ask for better hosts. Jamie and Aja were sweet and always easily accesible. "
1640231,25558470,2015-01-19,1327246,Abi,"Lovely space in an interesting, up-and-coming neighborhood. Lots of hidden gems nearby, including a great coffee shop in a renovated house down the block. Nice place to unwind after a long day of exploring, especially because of the amazing bathtub! Jamie and Aja were responsive and laid back; I felt well taken care of but not intruded upon. Thanks for the stay!"
1640231,25850579,2015-01-27,7036410,Kyon,Everything was as expected.  Hosts answer any questions I had almost immediately.  Thanks

1640231,26425225,2015-02-12,26417485,Stephen,Jamie was very helpful and provided us with detailed information to make our use of the property very easy. Easy access to downtown Austin
1640231,26679864,2015-02-17,3626630,Rachel,We loved our stay at Jamie and Aja's place! It felt homy and relaxing and it was super clean and looked like the pictures. It was walking distance to great restaurants too. Jamie and Aja were easy to communicate with as well. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
1640231,26985324,2015-02-23,19581363,Chelsea,A small group of friends stayed at this cute little shotgun. It was perfect! We felt at home and were able to cook for ourselves very easily. We also enjoyed the neighborhood. There were plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby that served our needs. Jamie and Aja gave us great tips as to where to go! I highly recommend staying there. They are great hosts and made us feel very comfortable.
1640231,27343264,2015-03-02,674867,Brittani,"Jamie and Aja made me feel very welcome. There was excellent communication and the neighborhood was perfect, as was the porch swing, the super comfy bed, the use of bikes, and the spacious kitchen."
1640231,27666005,2015-03-09,11934980,Samantha,"My friend and I were in town for a work conference at the Convention Center but didn't want to be stuck in a hotel downtown. Jamie and Aja's place was the perfect fit for us. The apartment was immaculately clean and Jamie was very responsive the entire time and/or always checking in to make sure we were comfortable.  It's about a 25-30 min easy walk downtown, and we also didn't have any trouble finding cabs/Uber to take us further or home at night. We fell in love with the JuiceLand across the street and some of the funky bars further down on E. 6th (about a 20-min walk). Would definitely stay again on another trip to Austin."
1640231,27802697,2015-03-12,4168865,Matthew,The place was great.  Clean and convenient.  The bikes were super helpful for getting around.
1640231,28200747,2015-03-20,6809426,Ben,"I had a fantastic stay. I met Jamie on my arrival and she was more than happy to orientate me to the neighbourhood. The apartment was really comfortable, and the neighbourhood was fantastic. A pleasant 30 minute stroll to downtown, with lots of great places to grab food and coffee on the way. Yes, the traffic on the main road gets a little loud, but the white noise machine did the trick, so problems there.

Jamie and Aja were fantastic hosts, there was a plan for some friends to stay with me and they went out of their way to accommodate this. 

I'm little reticent to give these guys such good review, since I don't want to lose my chance to book it for SXSW next year...  Thanks again for a great AIR BnB experience."
1640231,28466409,2015-03-24,9095976,Joseph,"Jaime and Aja were very accommodating. The house was great, clean and fit our needs perfectly. Location was also excellent. I'll definitely stay here again."
1640231,31550781,2015-05-06,14317819,Nick,"A great place and great host! Everything was as described with the house. Perfect for the two of us and could easily accommodate one or two more. The neighborhood is just what we were looking for with restaurants and the trail so close by. Hint: the Laundrette will blow your mind! 
Jaimie was super responsive and attentive. The bikes worked great to get around town. Cab rides to downtown or S. Congress were around $10-15. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. "
1640231,31964947,2015-05-12,12737219,Amber,"What a great spot! I loved the neighborhood. Walking distance to HEB, RVRB records, Rio Rita's, vintage shops, juice land, great Mexican food and counterculture vegan restaurant. Interesting street art and vegetation. Close enough to walk downtown. 
The apartment was spotless! All of the basic necessities  and thoughtful touches. The decor is super cute. It has enough decor to not feel stark but not overwhelming where you feel like you are in somebody's private home. 
Best parts were the deep insulated tub. I took baths twice a day! The bed was very comfortable. The porch was a great spot to drink wine and enjoy the scenery of east austin. 
Jamie was a pleasure to communicate with. She was very accommodating and friendly. I met Aja too and she was great as well. 
My only complaint was that I didn't meet their doggie! He was on holiday! "
1640231,42816678,2015-08-16,28072732,Michael,"My fiancee and I stayed here for the entire summer with our dog and loved it.  Jamie is very welcoming, took us out to breakfast, and made sure we had everything we needed.  She is very friendly and laid back.  The place is stocked with essentials, and the yard was a good size for our dog (a chocolate lab), which was a big thing for us.

The location is very convenient.  Downtown Austin is right down the road, and you can get to 6th Street for about $4 via Uber/Lyft.  There are restaurants in walking distance, and it is really easy to get to East 6th as well.  Also, there is a brewery opening the next block over.

It was also great that Jamie and Aja had bikes available--we rode them on the trail around Lady Bird Lake and had a great time.

Overall, we enjoyed our experience and would recommend Jamie and Aja's place to others."
1640231,47127914,2015-09-15,38880609,Ryan,"Great space, perfect yard for the dogs...very comfortable bed!! Hosts very easy to get ahold of!"
1640231,47525401,2015-09-20,18215525,Andrea,"Jamie and Aja have the cutest spot on the east side, by far!  We were impressed with how clean, spacious, and comfortable the home was.  The architecture is really cool too and reminiscent of a shotgun New Orleans style home...very deep with old wood floors.  My favorite spot was the porch swing up front! The neighborhood is quintessential east Austin...lots of amazing bars, places to eat, things to do. Never a dull moment!! I highly recommend this unique gem of a hideaway and will most definitely return. "
1640231,49875433,2015-10-07,29605166,Lindsay,"We had a wonderful experience at Jamie and Aja's place! They were extremely accommodating, provided two bikes which were perfect for riding to Zilker Park for ACL. They're extremely responsive, always there when we had a question or needed directions, etc. the place was exactly as the pictures depict. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here :) "
1640231,50612587,2015-10-13,15856921,Carla,"Considering the location and the amenities, one would be a fool to not plan their stay at Jamie & Aja's quaint, comfy shotgun single. There are literally dozens of wonderful restaurants and bars within walking (and definitely within biking) distance of the house. Jamie and Aja are very attentive, and the welcome package of information (and recommendations) they provide would have been enough to keep us busy for the entire stay if we decided on a whim to book.  Those girls are thorough! We were in town for ACL, and the bike trip to and from using the hike and bike trail along the river were a perfect way to navigate the city without the pressure of being on the highway the whole time. For longer trips, Uber was never more than a 5 minute wait, even at 4:15 on a Tuesday morning for our ride to the airport (which is only about 15 minutes away--so nice)."
1640231,52037736,2015-10-26,27333266,Melanie,"Everything about this experience went incredibly smoothly. Communication was great prior to, during, and after our trip. And everything was exactly as described--the place was just perfect for us. It was clean, it had all the amenities that were described, the bed was comfortable, etc. And there were so many quick/easy food options nearby that we had the option to eat in or eat out--whatever we felt like. Also, we were told that the street noise can sometimes be a bit loud (and that we could use the fan and/or sound machine if it was an issue), but the noise level was fine for us (we did put the fan on one night and that COMPLETELY blocked out any noise--so those with more sensitive ears than us might find the fan helpful). Overall, great hosts and great place to stay."
6689988,49878201,2015-10-07,27260816,Connie,"Arvind was a wonderful host. He gave us his phone number before we even got to Austin so that we could contact him and set up a plan for when we got there. He met us at the apartment (we just called him when we landed at the airport, and he was able to come right over even though it was in the middle of the day). He gave us a tour of the apartment and the key. We had a few questions throughout our stay, just about Austin in general, and the neighborhood, and Arvind always replied immediately and was very helpful. The apartment itself was a nice one-bedroom, perfect for when we came home after a day of exploring. He has a full kitchen, so we were able to make breakfast every morning, which was awesome. The neighborhood was quiet, and only about a 20 minute drive from the airport. Arvind even was able to get us reservations at the restaurant he works at, even though they were all booked up. Overall, a terrific experience, we would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!"
6689988,50464987,2015-10-12,1630432,Matthew,"Location was good, thanks for the hospitality!"
5617119,28280483,2015-03-21,4460004,Andy,"I was fortunate to book with Cara after a last minute cancellation by another host, the night before I was traveling for SXSW. Cara was so gracious and helpful at such a stressful time! Her place was absolutely perfect, super close to downtown...a 15 minute walk to the convention center and a short walk to the South Congress area. Her place was clean, quiet and comfortable... right on the trail along the river. And Cara was available for any questions or concerns. Thanks for everything, Cara!!"
5617119,28362088,2015-03-22,29445628,Alex,"Cara was very accommodating in meeting to drop off the key to her place. Her apartment is in an excellent location in close proximity to all that ATX has to offer. You will find her apartment very neatly organized, clean, and ready to host your small group."
6328166,32643360,2015-05-19,16239066,Priscila,"Joseph was a great host! The apartment is very well located, on South 1st street and amazingly close to South Congress. We had such a great time despite all of the rain we got. We would definitely stay here again!"
6328166,33159895,2015-05-25,27751225,J,Joseph was extremely accommodating and super responsive. The location is minutes from downtown and 6th street via a 5 dollar uber. The building its self is pretty cool too. It rained but if it was nice out the view and the pool would have been great for a summer swim. We will be back when we come to Austin again. 
6328166,33315690,2015-05-26,3494692,Frank,Joseph communicates quickly and effectively. I try to book with him for my next Austin trip.
6328166,34561521,2015-06-09,33529524,Coby,"Had a great stay in austin! Joseph was super cool, the place was nice clean and smelt great! Deff can't wait to visit again and hopefully stay again!! Great location too! Will deff try to book at his apt again next time I return!!!"
6328166,35117652,2015-06-15,24256959,Will,"The room was tidy, but not clean. A dirty towel was left on the floor, there was hair in the sink, the bed sheets were heavily used, and there was a strong odor. I was unable to stay for the smell. The apartment has a lot of potential and accessible to fun areas of Austin."
6328166,35270136,2015-06-16,15125262,Amalee,"It wasn't super clean there were dirty towels on the floor,sitting trash and the closet next to the door was filled with a foul odor it looked as thou a teenager had just left other then that the apartment was in a nice location and he was very easy to contact throughout our stay"
6328166,35339135,2015-06-17,236697,Paul,"good space, convenient location"
6328166,36049228,2015-06-24,34961395,Ariel,Joseph was a good host. He was quick to get back to me and pretty flexible about check in and check out. The place was tidy but dirty- bring some Clorox wipes and extra toilet paper and you're good. The apartment was in a really great location (with a pool!) and you could definitely sleep more than four people if you bring air mattresses. I would suggest staying there as long as you're willing to clean a little.
6328166,36417945,2015-06-28,34524908,Jan,"Contrary to what other reviewers said, we found it very difficult to get ahold of Joseph. Communication about check in time was very vague (didn't get a response from our email inquiry) and directions were unclear as to how to get keys.  Based on our past positive experiences at other airbnbs we expected to have clean sheets/clean apartment. When we arrived it was evident the sheets had not been washed, there were no clean towels, floor was dirty and the trash was overflowing. There were dirty dishes in the sink and many personal items laying around the counter tops.  This apartment is in a great location, very close to S Congress St, downtown and Barton Springs. "
1313265,7013175,2013-09-03,6778230,Matt,"Great house - great pool - very close to the lake!

Loved this house. A bit of a trek to downtown Austin, but you can probably see that. The pool in the backyard is awesome and is a lifesaver.

Would recommend this place to anyone! Had a great time."
1313265,12741373,2014-05-10,4264587,Christie,"The house was beautiful and perfect for a big group gathering.  If you are looking for a somewhat remote destination and have no intention of going into downtown Austin - this is your house.  I called for two cabs to come get our group to go out in downtown one night and unfortunately they did not show.  

The house actually sleeps 8 in beds so the listing is wrong unless the additional 2 are to sleep on the sectional couch, but I did the math with the details provided on airbnb prior to my visit and knew this.  The house still feels spacious with 8 adults staying at it.  The backyard is huge and so relaxing on a nice day.  The inside of the house is tastefully decorated and everything feels very new.  I was actually surprised at all of the amenities provided by the house.  It came with travel sized shampoo, conditioner and soap and there was plenty of towels (beach towels and regular towels) for the 8 of us.  There was also paper towels and soap for the kitchen, etc.  

Erica, our host, was wonderful to work with.  When planning for our stay she was always very responsive.  My questions were typically answered within just a few hours.  On the day of check in she called me to make sure that everything went ok and when we couldn't find items in the house, I emailed her to ask and received a quick answer. 

My only complaint (that is no fault of the house) is that there is a rooster that lives nearby.  My sister has sleeping issues and slept in the master bedroom.  It would wake her up at 4:30 in the morning.  I slept in the other bedroom that faced the backyard as well and had no issues with the rooster.  However, for those that might have issues sleeping I would probably recommend picking a different bedroom that does not face the backyard.  

I would definitely recommend this house for group gatherings or a family getaway.  It is wonderful!  "
1313265,13825206,2014-06-05,15397128,Brenda,"This house was amazing! Let us tell you, the pictures did not do this house justice! It was perfect for us, and it was quiet, out of the hustle and bustle of the city, just like we had hoped. There is a fire station right on the corner, so we were assured it was a safe community. Our host was readily available, and checked on us only at the beginning of the visit, which made it great because we never felt like we were being hassled. The only down side was that the house did not have the kids play set as pictured, and the pool was smaller, but it was still a good play area for the kids because the backyard was big...great for a water balloon fight!! Overall, it was a great stay, and we will definitely use Airbnb and TurnKey again. It was our 1st time using these services and we are definitely converted to customers for life!!"
1313265,21842788,2014-10-25,22171967,Jim,"The house was fantastic.  Very roomy for a family.  There were accommodations for everyone including pool and ALL sorts of baby gear (pack and play, changing table, etc).

We would definable come back to stay next time we are in the lakeway area.  The house was clean and very well kept.  Check in / Check out was as easy as a hotel / resort. "

1313265,32078502,2015-05-13,32049111,Oz,House was GREAT! In a private location with a private pool. Everything was in order and had no issues with the house - already recommended it to some friends that wanted to do something similar. The location is great - not a lot of noise - except the rooster behind the house - very close to some great food and shopping. About 9 minutes to Torchy's and about 6 minutes to an HEB.

Very close to grocery store.  Would consider staying there again.  Thank you!"

We had a fantastic time at the house and was exactly what we were looking for =) The whole TurnKey Vacation Rentals experience was amazing. The communication was great prior to and as we were arriving in Austin with lots of update emails about our stay, early check-in and late check-out. Thanks so much for making the experience flawless!"
1313265,39946777,2015-07-27,32335505,Jenny,"The house was perfect for what we needed.  My only complaints are about the cleaning crew.  We arrived and there was still coffee left in the pot and mold covered steaks in the oven.  I threw them out in the back yard.  The dishwasher didn't work and we couldn't find out how to turn the pool light on.  The trash needed to be picked up, 3 trash cans were overflowing on the side of the house, very disgusting.  "
1313265,50434305,2015-10-12,36154406,Laurie,"The host was great. The neighborhood was gorgeous, this place was wonderful. So, so happy with it.  It was perfect!"

She left us some beer and wine to enjoy during our visit and was very helpful when I needed to call her to ask about setting up an air mattress.  The house is perfect!  We were very comfortable with 4 people staying there.  We had two people in one bedroom, one in the other and one person on an air mattress in the front dining room.  The neighborhood seemed safe and fairly quiet.  The house is very convenient to downtown.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others looking for a comfortable place to stay close to downtown Austin."

879070,3798479,2013-03-16,196061,Inga,"Troy has been a great host! He was extremely helpful, had maps and directions printed out for us. He has travelled a lot himself so he is familiar with the guest perspective. The two bikes he provided us with, were our top choice to get downtown to SXSW but there also is a bus that takes you south. His house is very clean, our room came with enough space for clothes and the beds are really comfy. We had coffee and nice chats with Troy and would definitely stay there again!"
879070,3828433,2013-03-18,5433063,Carrington,"I'm so glad I found Troy's place. Not only was he super nice and helpful. He had vitamin water and snacks waiting for us upon arrival. He even made us breakfast! He had good tips about parking downtown Austin & we got back and forth to his place in like 10 mins, no traffic! You should be jealous that you haven't stayed with Troy yet. "

879070,4370950,2013-04-30,5354783,Ryan,"Stayed with Troy for a few nights and was amazing. Troy himself is a really nice guy and knows a lot about the area. His house is very clean and comfortable, I felt at home right away. Also close to bus stop with only a 5 minute walk."
879070,4441071,2013-05-05,2391880,Nadina,Troy was very nice and extremely professional.  He had a booklet of restaurants/bars with a maps of how to get there from his home.

879070,8435704,2013-10-30,3120783,Ryan,"I've booked through Airbnb a number of times now, and not to dis on any of the other great hosts I've had but Troy takes the cake by far. Beautiful house. Beautiful neighborhood. QUIET neighborhood. And one of the friendliest guys you could hope to meet. Troy really helped make my stay in Austin feel friendly, safe, and an all-around pleasure. 

I was in town for the Austin Film Festival, so know that if you stay at Troy's and don't have wheels, it means taking the bus downtown - about six miles. And buses in Austin don't run with the frequency they do in other major cities (about every half hour). It's not a long ride, but you're certainly not close to the center of the action. This fact was more than made up for by all the things I've mentioned above. Also, it's about a 15 minute walk from Troy's house to the nearest bus stop.

All around a wonderful experience in Austin, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone that is willing to stay just a little outside downtown."
879070,8679322,2013-11-11,5349490,Josh,My girlfriend and I stayed for a long weekend and couldn't have been happier with the stay. The room was comfortable and the home was clean. Troy was very accommodating and open with his home.  I have no complaints and would consider staying again in the future.
879070,8975963,2013-11-29,9635716,Jianjian,"If the rating scale is 1 to 10, I will definitely give 20 out of 10!!!
Troy is a very nice and caring host who knows Austin inside out. He showed us directions to explore the city by driving us around and lent his bikes to us. 
Troy drove us all the way to Houston and invited us to his family thanksgiving dinner.
On our way to Houston, we talked about basketball and shared interests. 
He made us feel like home in his house and we were like old friends at the end of our trip.
Troy's house is exactly the same as the one shown in the photo, very clean and tiny. And very quite and beautiful neighborhood,great for people who like to exercise outdoor.
If I have another chance to visit Austin, Troy's place will absolutely be my first and best choice."
879070,9454078,2013-12-29,10698742,Mayank,"Really a clean, cozy and cool place. We liked our stay there. Also this place is pretty close to all city center at just about 4-5 miles distance. The smart TV in the living room was really cool,I could pair my phone to listen to some songs. Will definitely choose to stay at this place, next time I am visiting Austin.

Although we met Troy just for a couple of minutes, he was nice and his tips for Austin were great."
879070,9508811,2013-12-31,1320087,Shannon,"Troy was an awesome host. He's friendly, easy to talk to, and very helpful during our trip in Austin.

Thank you again Troy!"
879070,9692914,2014-01-05,5006925,Patricia,"Had a very nice time in Troy's home, it was clean, safe, and in a nice quite neighborhood. Loved that he had an ironing board and iron in the room, plus the shower had great water pressure. Troy was informative, pleasant, easy to talk to and has great travel stories. 
I would highly recommend him and the bakery up the street was excellent. Good call Troy ! When I return to Austin for a longer stay Troy's place will be the first place I look up. "
879070,9930788,2014-01-20,2415363,Hope,"Troy made my brief trip to Austin a pleasure and super easy to find my way around!  He gave me a mini car tour, pointing out the sites and info on the places I wanted to go.  His house is in a quiet neighborhood that you can access by bus or the hike/bike trail from downtown.  People in Austin are super friendly and public trans very cheap!  Awesome city, great digs and host!  Go for it.... "
879070,10287121,2014-02-10,11855116,Bo,"Troy was a great host... very friendly and helpful when it came to finding good food/places to go in Austin. Clean house and comfy beds. Great experience, definitely recommend!"
879070,10550391,2014-02-24,873077,Kelsey,"Troy was a fantastic host. Our schedules were different so we didn't see much of him, but he was very helpful and even offered to reach out to some of his own contacts to help me with my research. His place is extremely clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The house is small but Troy is a very quiet, considerate person so you probably won't even notice that. He left some snacks/stuff for breakfast for us which was great, and offered to show us around although we didn't have time. For the price, you won't beat staying here. "
879070,10623248,2014-02-28,11457453,Tiffany,Troy was a great host. He was very helpful in recommending places to go see and do. He also gave me some great pointers while I was apartment hunting since I'm very new to the area. I felt very comfortable at his place and I would definitely recommend staying at his lovely home.
879070,10900116,2014-03-12,10643400,Jeff,"We had a wonderful time and have no complaints. It looks just like the picture and is extremely clean. Calm and comfortable.  Troy is easygoing and helpful. Safe neighborhood and close to the freeway.  During SXSW, taxis from downtown cost about $17, but we also took the bus a few times and it drops off in downtown. The bus transportation was easy too.  I have no reservations about recommending it to others if the location is right for you."
879070,11057906,2014-03-18,8407041,Dominic,"Austin was fantastic, SXSW was incredibly good fun, and Troy our host and the room/space/location were perfect.  A great host and cool apartment. "

Great host, would stay again!"

879070,13166688,2014-05-20,7581028,Grant,"Troy is an experienced world traveler and understands what travelers need.  (Be sure to look through his collection of photos from his motorcycle trip through Central and South America.)  The room and house are exactly as advertised.  The house is spotlessly clean.  The neighborhood is quiet and conveniently located for most points of interest in Austin.
Troy was out of town during most of our stay, so unfortunately, we didn't get to visit with him much.  When we had automotive problems that required a mechanic, Troy was helpful in recommending his mechanic.  He is also generous with sharing his space, so you are made to feel comfortable and welcome.  Troy is courteous and unusually considerate of his guests.  We had the sense that he was equally willing to share time with us and to let us have as much privacy as we wanted.  We highly recommend Troy and his house."
879070,13353765,2014-05-26,14000605,Kirsty,"As my first airbnb experience, my stay with Troy was a very pleasant one. The house was clean and accommodating, located in a very charming neighborhood of creeks and lush forest.  Living in close proximity to downtown, Troy had two stylish bikes (the “yeah yeahs” we later named them) that gave my sister and I the freedom to explore all corners of the city. As a host, Troy went above and beyond our expectations. One example: in a last minute decision of ours, Troy shuttled us downtown so we could catch a movie at the famous Alamo theatre. As an avid traveler himself, Troy has the wisdom and honesty that makes anyone on the road feel right at home. I would highly recommend Troy and his home to anyone."
879070,19110337,2014-09-06,2302931,Alex,"We stayed with Troy for 2 nights in this great part of Austin. Troys place is nestled in a safe leafy suburb of Austin with off street parking and  easy access to downtown and SoCo etc as the freeway is close by. My brother and I shared a room with two comfortable beds and Troys place was spotless. We had access to the whole house including kitchen and  laundry facilities. Troy was such a great host. We had a warm welcome upon arrival, he is such as friendly guy, and we felt relaxed the whole time during our stay. Troy was keen to spend time hanging out and chatting but also giving us space to do our own thing. He offered great advice on local things to do and check out. Staying withTroy really added to a fantastic Austin experience and will stay with Troy next time in Austin. Thanks Troy. "
879070,20281884,2014-09-27,7976885,Kristofer,Troy was a great host and very accommodating for my cousin and I who were down this year for Fantastic Fest.  The ability to come and go as we want was a huge plus as well as the comfy bed. I would definitely come here again for a future trip.
879070,20774797,2014-10-05,6281535,Inna,"I want to express deepest gratitude to Troy for hosting us. House was in the immaculate order, very comfortable, welcoming. Troy truly understands travelers needs. He left for us some snacks (that were very nice to have), very informative notes on visiting ACL and Austin in general. I would definitely recommend Troy and his accommodations to fellow travelers.

Sincerely, Inna Troik"
879070,20968351,2014-10-08,8207534,Elisa,Troy was very accommodating during our stay. He was gone the first night we were there but made sure we were very comfortable. He made us feel like old (website hidden) room is comfortable and close to busses and cool restaurants.
879070,21199773,2014-10-13,18890855,Leah,"Troy was fantastic! It was the perfect positive experience for someone who was a little apprehensive about airbnb. Not only was the room great for two friends going to a music festival, Troy had an ""ACL Fest kit"" for us that included Emergen-C, earplugs and snacks. He also have is suggestions on places to go and to help us to get to and from ACL Fest. He even drove us to the festival two days and picked us up the first night. The room was comfortable as it was easy to get in and out with no hassle or disturbing him. I would definitely recommend his place if you want a great location and a chill place with great company to stay in. Thanks again for everything Troy! "
879070,21903600,2014-10-26,15925300,Matteo,"I highly recommendation anyone visiting Austin to stay at Troy's place. You are located 15 minutes or less from downtown Austin if you have a car.

The neighborhood was quiet and the house very elegant and welcoming with tons of National Geographic magazines around the house to read. Troy and I even had a shared interest in photography and videography and talked shop on our camera gear -- very cool and down to earth dude. 

I'd highly recommend staying at his place anytime you're visiting Austin. "

He had a map and suggestions of places to visit set out for us in the room, along with snacks and coffee/tea. He took time to explain the map to us and some of the best ways to get around Austin. We felt very safe and comfortable staying at this Airbnb home. The neighborhood was calm and quiet. It was about a 13$ Uber drive to get downtown. Overall this was a great first-time Airbnb experience!"

Thanks Troy!"
879070,25533590,2015-01-18,14613634,Steven,"Troy was very pleasant and welcoming, and the room and bathroom very clean and comfortable. The house is extremely handy to Mopac and the principle streets of North-Central Austin, but tucked away in a pleasant neighborhood away from traffic and noise and bustle. I know Austin and was mostly catching up with friends, and wish I'd had more time to interact with Troy - but he was a gracious host who was clearly willing to provide suggestions and tips to make sure visitors enjoy their trip to this awesome city!"

879070,48485098,2015-09-26,41468447,Misaki,It's first time to write it down. First his house is clean and better than pictures on Airbub.  Location also great. Second he knows Austin a lot. He gave me list of restaurants.  It was really useful.  Finally He is always welcome . I am international student. Actually my English is not good. I'm pretty sureliable he is welcome for us . Definitely I will stay his house when I go to Austin next time. 
879070,49477510,2015-10-04,43033931,Daniel,Our stay at Troy's home was a great experience. We were in Austin for the Austin City Limits music festival and to explore the city. The room was as described and adverstised and was very clean and well organized. The home was situated in a nice neighborbood just northwest of the city. Troy gave great recommendations of things to do around the area before and ACL festival.
879070,50490299,2015-10-12,31252856,Kayla,Troy was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed
879070,52091188,2015-10-26,29884569,Mark,"Troy made us feel super welcome and went out of his way to accommodate us. His place was exactly as described, very clean, and great value for money. I would definitely recommend Troy's place to other bnb members. "
879070,52563933,2015-10-30,622663,Dervla,"I stayed at Troy's while on a road trip with my dad. We left booking a place in Austin to the last minute but Troy was quick and easy to communicate with and had the place ready for us just hours after we booked! 

Troy's place was well-located and perfect for someone travelling with a car. He provided convenient parking and his place is a short drive from a variety of nice restaurants, bars, and cafes. In addition to leaving a book of house information and area recommendations, Troy gave us some great tips for must-visits in Austin and was very pleasant and easy to chat with. 

Unfortunately, I ended up getting a cold during my 2 days in Austin but this made the fact that Troy left out tea and snacks for us even better, and really made me appreciate how comfortable the beds were and how peaceful his neighborhood was!

All in all, we really enjoyed meeting Troy and staying in his room in Austin! I'd recommend this place to others visiting the area, especially if you have a car (although public transport seemed to be easily available nearby too). You'll appreciate Troy's hospitality, his lovely neighborhood, and the cozy and comfortable room!"
6291810,40977100,2015-08-03,38370989,Xavier,"My girlfriend recommend renting a home instead of getting separate hotel rooms for us and our 6 friends, that way we could all be together and have a place to relax and hangout. And that's exactly what we did!

I looked through dozens listings and finally decided on Bryan's. The pictures didn't do his house justice! The furnishings all looked brand new and everything was well cleaned. Everyone thought the house was amazing, it was definitely a highlight of our trip. 

Unfortunately Bryan couldn't be there to show us around (he was out of town), but he was sure to let us know ahead of time. There was however a nice lady to greet us when we arrived, showing us the house and answering any questions we had. It went smoothly. We were also left with a nice bottle of wine and a paper with notes and instructions, it was well written and came in handy a few times. I did have some trouble with the WiFi and when I called Bryan, he answered right away and helped me solve the issue.

We were about a 15 minute drive from downtown, which was perfect since we planned on going out both nights. We waited no longer than 15 minutes for an Uber and it cost us around $15 to do so, which wasn't bad. This house could easily entertain for a night and next time we visit Austin, we'll be sure to do so (the speakers throughout the house and patio sealed the deal). 

This was my first time using Airbnb and thanks to this house, it won't be my last!

Thanks again Bryan."
6291810,42174503,2015-08-11,28748212,Debbie,"This really was the ""perfect weekend getaway"" for us!  There were 9 1/2 of us...the half was the only male....a one year old.  

The home was beautiful and very clean.  You can tell that Bryan has made a lot of fabulous updates!   There was a lot of room, gourmet kitchen, lots of TV's, surround sound, awesome media room for movies, and a terrific outdoor kitchen/living area!   We spent as much time as possible outside.

Bryan's location is in an established neighborhood and was really easy to get to.  We shopped, went out to eat and went to an event downtown.  Everything  was so accessible.  

We are already anticipating another stay with Bryan in the near future!  

Thanks for everything.

Debbie"
6291810,43268667,2015-08-18,34139644,Brion,"The stay at Bryan's home in Austin was perfect.  The home is beautiful, comfortable and clean.  I stayed there with my daughters and we all were comfortable and happy.  I would recommend the home for anyone interested in staying in a quiet, well-appointed home in a quiet neighborhood.  Bryan was available via text if needed and checked up on us during our stay.  5 Stars!!!!! It was my first experience staying in a home and I couldn't be more pleased. "
6291810,47676442,2015-09-21,23589297,Mary,The house was just as pictured. Bryan even left us a bottle of wine with instructions and extra information about the house.
6291810,48774699,2015-09-28,43466697,Bilal,"Bryan's house was an excellent choice to stay in for my wedding weekend in Austin. The house was exceptional; clean, lots of accessories (hot tub, outdoor grill, a cinema and TVs in every room. The bathrooms were stocked with towels and bath necessities. Awesome place. Would definitely stay again. Bryan was always a hands reach if we needed anything. There's an HEB close by where we could get most groceries. "
6291810,49633064,2015-10-05,33746226,Sarah,"This house was absolutely gorgeous! There was plenty of space for all 10 of us. We grilled out and jammed in the hot tub both nights! The technology that comes with it is (website hidden) was so luxurious, all the beds were so comfy. Bryan was very accommodating, he met me at check in and walked me through to show me all the neat features. He also provided us with great restaurant and activity ideas. This house is so unique and fancy, we truly felt we were living a celebrity life for a weekend! "
6291810,50439197,2015-10-12,23491438,Jeff,"The house was great, exactly as described, and well maintained. Bryan was an attentive host who responded promptly to any questions and was accommodating. Would rent again for future Austin trips."

5491054,28268418,2015-03-21,18862810,Jay,"Kelsey was a great host. She was responsive and helpful with transport options and other local information. The house was as advertised, clean and spacious with a large bathroom and living area. Her roommate and a cat were present during our stay. At first glance, the place seems to be deep in suburbia, and it certainly is removed from the action of East or downtown Austin. But the bus stop is very close, and so getting to anywhere in town was straightforward. However, there is not much within reasonable walking distance, but It worked very well for SxSW! We were a bit under-whelmed on arrival by the exterior of the house, which is unkempt with long grass out the front and old trailers in the backyard (which was admittedly a little off putting given the bedroom is exposed to these trailers, and people intermittently access them) but the inside is clean and well appointed. While we had a good stay and had no issues at all, some travellers may not feel entirely safe in this neighbourhood. "
5382366,31352562,2015-05-04,30989127,Dani,"Duane was so awesome and allowed us to pick up the key the night prior to avoid having to drive all the way their the day we rented. He cleaned the house extremely well and left towels, toothpaste, and ibuprofen out for us! He left us the wireless passcode and alarm code and was available to us when we called him after forgetting the code haha. The house was a great size and he left two air mattresses out for us as well. I would recommend this house to anyone! Thanks again Duane!"
5382366,33029529,2015-05-24,16052121,Ruby,This place was nice and clean. There was plenty of towels to use for our large group.  Duane was accommodating and easy to get a hold of if needed. I would definitely stay here again.
5382366,33704524,2015-05-31,32222982,Alex,Duane is the man! We enjoyed our stay and the house was awesome. Super clean and accommodating. Glad I found this home in my favorite part of Austin. The east side! We would love to stay again in the future. Thanks again. Cheers!
5382366,35094366,2015-06-15,26606123,Michael,"Recently stayed for a bachelor party weekend in Austin. Great location and quiet neighborhood with easy access to bars, restaurants, etc. on the east side of downtown. The house is very nice, tucked behind lots of trees and larger than it looks from the outside; plenty of space for our group of nine.  Duane was very accommodating and provided a very helpful list of nearby places to visit/eat, etc.  Highly recommend and would stay again if in the area. "
5382366,36609288,2015-06-29,36197832,Kathy,I rented this home for a weekend getaway for my birthday. I have a few friends join me and this was a very nice home. Duane was a wonderful host. He was prompt with his responses and answered all of my questions. The home was clean and organized. The uber ride to 6th st was not too far and their are a few good local coffee shops close by. The home is a little close to the neighbors but we had no issues with noise or disturbances. I would rent from him again!
5382366,40023627,2015-07-27,11696177,Edison,Duane was a great host. Very easy to get a hold of and made my stay very enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again if I go to Austin in the future. Thanks again Duane.
5382366,42038681,2015-08-10,39728509,Anna,"Duane was an excellent and most helpful host! He was easy to reach and provided more than enough towels. His place was perfect for our group of 7 and we were all very comfortable. Location was safe and quiet and still close enough to 6th street action. Will have to return for a longer time and take Duane's recommendations for East Austin bars! Loved your charming home, thanks Duane!"
5382366,43056274,2015-08-17,35973199,Nic,"Fantastic Bachelor party trip! House couldn't have been more perfect, had all the kitchen and bar tools you could ask for. The house was the perfect size for 8 of us to hangout  between trips to Rainey St and 6th. Close enough for a trek or short cab ride to all the bars. The place was very inviting and had all the eminities you could want!

Duane was a wonderful host! He provided all the information we needed concerning arrival, stay, and checkout ahead of time. He very informative of the neighborhood and Austin's food and bar scene."
5382366,46184037,2015-09-08,24638567,Will,"Duane couldn't have been a cooler host. Whenever I messaged him a question, he responded quickly. His house was awesome, and his promptness to assist was even better. I would definitely rent his place again; and I would definitely recommend him to anyone going to Austin in a large group."
5382366,46951644,2015-09-14,41834327,Marcus,Great experience! Very easy process with Duane! Nice house and perfect location! 
5382366,48921113,2015-09-29,39420315,Justin,Duane gave a lot of great advice and was quick to respond to any of our questions.  The house was perfect for a group of 10 guys and very close to many great bars/restaurants.  I would highly recommend renting Duanes place. 
5382366,49628525,2015-10-05,23287576,Arild,Very good
5382366,50449446,2015-10-12,40610010,Whitney,"Duane was an unbelievable host! He was super friendly, helpful and easy to get ahold of. This was my first time in Austin and Duane sent me tons of recommendations for local restaurant, bars, and more. The house was absolutely perfect. I was going to Austin in a group of 8 total for my 30th birthday and to check out the Austin City Limits music festival. The house is clean, cozy and in very walkable location close to downtown. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms made it really comfortable for a group to get ready for a day or night out. I hope to go back to Austin and when I do, I definitely plan to ask Duane to stay again. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Duane and his home made my birthday exactly what I had hoped for!"
5382366,52889670,2015-11-02,341083,Katie,"We loved our stay in Austin at Duane's place. The house is spacious, well maintained, and has some great Austin character. We had plenty of space for 9 girls for the weekend- the house includes a king bed and 3 queen beds. Duane also left an extra air mattress to make sure everyone had room. The 3 bathrooms were a big plus.
We enjoyed exploring the East Austin area- favorites were Whistler and Zilker Brewing Co(all walking distance). We didn't walk downtown but it would still likely be fine if you don't mind a longer walk! Downtown, South Congress are a 5 minute, cheap Uber ride away.

Overall, it's a great place for a large group stay in Austin. Duane is a great host- very responsive in making sure we had everything needed. He sent out lots of recommendations for things to do in Austin and some places around East Austin near the house. Would absolutely rent Duane's place again."
5133146,39955295,2015-07-27,35390916,Brendon,"This property exceeded expectations in every way. The inside of the house is incredible and each room was unique and fun. The only thing better than the interior spaces was the backyard. It is incredibly private and between the pool, sports court, putting green, and huge lawn, you will not be bored!"
340419,1017574,2012-03-19,66270,Daniel,"The stay was terrific. Solana's home is filled with personality and warmth. She thought of everything, left breakfast items, choice of teas, extra toilet paper etc. She was very communicative from start to finish. I would highly recommend staying here. Great apartment with beautiful bedroom and comfy bed. Location couldn't be better either."
340419,3782606,2013-03-14,19082,Alana,"Solana's apartment is in a fantastic location. Just off 6th street so it's quiet but also right in the heart of some fun east side bars and restaurants. The apartment is also very modern, clean and large enough for the 3 of us with everything you need (except a hairdryer). Solana left us maps and transport details so getting around was so easy and the light rail station is just across the road. Also very convenient although it doesn't run very regularly. I would love to stay here again when back in Austin. Thanks Solana!"
340419,28206506,2015-03-20,1379516,Foued,"I had a super stay at Solana's place. Thank you again Solana for the beers that we have share together when I checked in. The apartment is super nice. I wish I could go again to Austin next year and to stay there.  Good location, quite residence. "

280450,10391002,2014-02-17,2652179,Leigh,"I would definitely recommend Verde Camp! We were within walking distance of South Congress and downtown.

The ""Cloud House"" loft was perfect although it shouldn't be recommended for anyone who's not completely stable on their feet. Kitchen was well set up with dishes, glasses & silverware as well as a lot of pots & pans if you want to cook something (although not necessary given that there are so many great eating spot a short 3 block walk).
The whole house was clean and comfortable!

From the moment we arrived they treated us like family, but they completely respected our space. The home is gorgeous, decorated with such stylish decor, and the bedroom is conveniently located right by the front door so you can slip in and out without feeling like you are disturbing anyone. We were so sad to leave this beautiful home and couple. We will definitely stay with them when we come back to Austin, (If they will have us again)! :) thank you so much Lynn and Phil!"
8308227,50011158,2015-10-08,43140244,Kyle,"Lynn and Phil have a beautiful home that is very conveniently located to downtown and SoCo districts of ATX. They were both extremely accommodating and helpful during my 5 night stay. I would recommend them to anyone looking to visit Austin, and will very happily be visiting them once more for my next trip to Austin. They exude the idea of southern hospitality."
8308227,50503443,2015-10-12,39071565,Ashton,"This was the first time I used Airbnb and it was a great first experience. Although, we were out most of the day at ACL Lynn and Phil's apartment is in one of the best locations of Austin. It was only $9 max for an uber to go down to Zilker and right off Hwy 35, so getting out of Austin was a breeze. I would highly recommend using Lynn and Phil's listing if you are needing a place to stay in Austin."
8308227,50990362,2015-10-16,46036730,Ann,"We felt very welcome in Lynn and Phil's home. The room is extremely clean and we really appreciate fine quality linens. The large bathtub in the attached and well appointed bathroom is a huge plus for me and the outdoor balcony is pleasant in the mornings. Secure outdoor parking is also desirable. This space is an excellent value anywhere and especially in Austin. We've stayed in a couple of highway hotel rooms since our departure and believe me, we miss it already. "

I would highly recommend this to folks visiting Austin.
Spl thanks to Lynn for the cocktail , it was awesome.
P.S. : Cocktail is not a standard offering..:)..Guess I was  lucky .
I will definitely stay here next time I visit Austin.

1847295,10940343,2014-03-14,5308431,Erica,"We really lucked out with this property and homeowner!  
First of all, the house is beautiful and cool and full of great amenities.  My friends and I traveled out to Austin for the premiere of our film at SXSW and intend on returning back to Jo's for the next one!
Jo was incredibly accommodating from the start of the process.  She helped us book both her front and back (PreFab) units.  She offered up the yard for some friends to camp in and even extended our dates for some members of our group arriving early.
The location is perfect for the festival.  It was a quick and easy 2 stops on the metro to get into the heart of downtown, but when you are at the house it feels like a private oasis a world away from the hustle of the city.
Such big THANKS to Jo!  You are a life saver and your house is the coolest!"
7899546,46028547,2015-09-07,2236278,Corene,"This was the perfect place for our 3 day trip to Austin. The studio is beautiful and was very comfortable for the two of us to call home while in town. It’s nestled behind the owner’s house, but we actually never ran into each other during the time we were there. They provided us with a list of things to check out in the area and we were glad to have some direction since there are so many places to eat/see. All the great shops/restaurants/food trucks of SOCO are an easy few minute walk from the studio. You can’t beat this location! Communicating with Kristen was a breeze; she got back to us quickly and really made our stay unforgettable. Also the ice cream in the freezer and a cold local brew stocked in the fridge was an added bonus. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We can’t wait to come back!"
7899546,46827429,2015-09-13,15108894,Kylie,"Kirsten's guesthouse was our 1st AirBNB experience and we are delighted we made the choice to stay there! Kristen and her family were lovely and both Kristen and Lauren the Landlord were very responsive to any questions we had. The guesthouse was gorgeous and had a lovely big bathroom and kitchen along with a huge comfy bed, lots of storage space, a cosy lounge room and 2 tv's. Located 1 block back from South Congress, (about a 30 sec walk if that!) we were so happy we chose to stay next to what became our favorite part of Austin! We were very lucky to have an early check-in and a late check out which was just so fabulous. Cold beers and wine we ready for us in the fridge on our arrival along with a few nice extra bonuses! It was nice to have a back gate to come and go from if we arrived home late. We felt very relaxed and safe during our stay and I hope to return sometime soon! My husband and I can't recommend Kristen's place highly enough. The location is spot on. Book it and enjoy!"

The house was exactly as advertised - really open kitchen, nice sitting area, beautiful bedroom area, and fantastic bathroom (the tub was a real treat). The kitchen was well stocked with things we might need. There was also a welcome letter with a ton of super helpful recommendations for near-by restaurants/bars/things to do. This house did not disappoint! Will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Austin! Thanks Kristen :) "
7899546,48646925,2015-09-27,23266063,Terry,"This bungalow was so so so good on so many levels.  Firstly it was exactly as described, easy to access and a little chunk of luxury in a private backyard.  Only a block from all that South Congress has to offer - we had a delightful dinner at Botticelli's, one of Kristen's suggestions - and then a nice walk back to the ""Honey House""  .  Love that story as well, since I'm a grandmother myself.  Absolutely everything was provided and communication with Kirsten was instantaneous.  We're crossing our fingers that we get a chance to return and plan to recommend it highly to friends and family.  Thanks Kristen!"
7899546,51296887,2015-10-19,1962563,Margie,"Kristen welcomed us by encouraging us to help ourselves to the excellent local beer and wine she provided and by accommodating our request to check in half an hour early. The listing was completely accurate but the photos didn't do the Honey House justice. The place was immaculate; the appliances new; and the kitchen well-stocked.
Unlike most rentals for two people, the bathroom is spacious, with a shower and a soaking tub. Plenty of closet and drawer space, and reading lights on both sides of the bed. You won't feel a bit claustrophobic here."
7899546,52696782,2015-11-01,2518576,Christian,"Kristen was a great host and the bungalow was fantastic. She let us check-in early, which was a great help. The bungalow was separate from the house on the property with lots of privacy and quiet. 

It was a great experience. My favorite element was probably the GIANT soaker tub. 

Additionally, it is literally 1 block away from the heart of South Congress. Everything that you need is within walking distance. And downtown is around a 25 minute walk away.

It was a treat to stay there and I will definitely be back again.

She even got us a pack & play for our infant so we didn't have to travel with ours. She was communicative and professional. I highly recommend her as a host!"
5021987,31381276,2015-05-04,20089169,Tony,What a great place! This was my first time using air bnb and it couldn't have been better. I rented the place for my parents who were in town visiting and it was absolutely perfect. Thanks again Kathleen!
5021987,31793553,2015-05-10,12487563,Christina,Very cute bungalow-perfect our weekend in Austin! Great kitchen for anyone who wants to cook. We enjoyed the front porch and beautiful garden. Kathleen was there to meet us and show us around and make us feel welcome! 
5021987,32020338,2015-05-12,16257656,Fern,"Great bungalow in great location.
Kathleen is a great hostess and nicely stocked kitchen for beverages.
Great assortment of toiletries all with no preservatives, parabens etc.
Nice porch too!

Only drawback was the second bedroom had 2 twin beds, so this is great for a family but not great for 2 couples.

"
5021987,32263127,2015-05-16,1965868,Sarah,Kathleen's place was absolutely perfect. One of the best I've ever stayed in. The amenities made her place exceptionally comfortable for our group. Check-in was seamless and Kathleen made herself available for any questions.
5021987,32736308,2015-05-20,33770637,Stacey,"If you are looking for a place to stay in the Downtown Austin area, you've found it!  Travis Heights Bungalow is an adorable place that allows for the comfort of home...even though you are from out of town!  It is also in the perfect location and only 5 minutes away from South Congress street where there is amazing shopping and dining.  Our last minute stay was amazing and we can't wait to come back!"
5021987,33104814,2015-05-25,30738805,Debbie,"We so enjoyed our stay at the Travis Heights Bungalow.  The front porch was very inviting, it encouraged us to open the front door to see what the inside was like.  The Bungalow was beautiful.  There were snacks for us, coffee, tea.  The rooms were spacious and beds very comfortable.   There were umbrellas for us to us, which came in handy.  We felt right at home.  Our experience at the Bungalow was amazing and we highly recommend it.

Thank you Kathleen for your wonderful hospitality.
Debbie E."
5021987,33304660,2015-05-26,2885438,Sarah,"This Airbnb was adorable and perfect for our group of 4! Kathleen went out of her way to accommodate a very early check-in for us, which we really appreciated. When we arrived she had left out a basket of full snacks (which we devoured) and an endless variety of K-cups (which we also devoured). ALSO -- my housemates and I all commented on the soft towels and great water pressure. Even though it was a torrential downpour outside, we were happy to hang in this cozy home, play games, and watch TV. Highly recommend!"
5021987,33533810,2015-05-29,1025617,Shea,"Houses like this are why I love airbnb and will never go back to hotels. 
The neighborhood was so fun. This is the Austin everyone talks about. The house was cute spacious and adorably decorated.  Kathleen was a great host and made everything very easy. 
 She even got us a pack and play for our baby. "
5021987,33754522,2015-05-31,25973882,Danielle,"Kathleen's place was great, we had a nice stay! Thank you for your hospitality! "
5021987,34112063,2015-06-04,19132867,Brett,"Kathleen lives in a beautiful, forested neighborhood with quiet streets and fantastic porch sitting.  She welcomed us upon arrival, shared some laughs with us, then we headed out.  Great property, I certainly will stay again when I return to Austin!"
5021987,34263583,2015-06-06,34946566,Jessica,Kathleen home was lovely. Multiple times throughout our stay we found ourselves saying we wish we could stay in the house longer. Snacks and drinks were readily available which is a nice touch. The house was clean and well kept. I have definitely saved the house to book next time I am in Austin. 
5021987,34295260,2015-06-07,11917125,Mark,Great location. Great place. Would stay again.
5021987,36057582,2015-06-24,15269375,Kris,"Kathleen was a wonderful host, she was very hospitable and always available to help us with anything we needed. We were in town to check out the area and she answered all our questions about Austin. She was also very thoughtful, there were a few games for our son when we arrived and she brought a children's book over for him to read, which he loved. The best part for us was that she is conscious about the products she uses and we didn't need to worry about toxic chemicals with our toddler or ourselves. It was like being at a second home for us. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Austin."
5021987,36420862,2015-06-28,8119518,Nicolas,"We really enjoyed our stay at the the Travis Heights Bungalow.  The location is great and the accommodations were clean and comfortable (we were four).  

My family and I especially enjoyed the porch, where we relaxed after dinner.  

This is my first experience with Air BnB.  Now I can see why people turn their back on hotels.  Having access to an actual home (I.e. living room, kitchen, porch) allows you to relax and enjoy your stay.  When you're staying a hotel room, there is more pressure to go somewhere. 

Would definitely recommend."
5021987,37146314,2015-07-05,1977547,Katherine,"Kathleen was so kind and accommodating! Her home is absolutely beautiful - very clean, fresh, and charming. "

5021987,38902898,2015-07-19,7473270,Anna,"Stellar experience staying at this listing. Beautiful home, excellent value for the price point. The house was warm and inviting, yet very tidy and CLEAN! Amazing porch and convenient location. Host lives on-site, and was helpful but not intrusive. Lots of extra little details to make us comfortable (drinks in fridge, mosquito candles on the porch). "
5021987,39361195,2015-07-22,1938868,Melissa,"I can't say enough about Kathleen as a host and about our stay at this home. My mom and I were looking for a last minute rental - Kathleen was incredibly prompt with her response and the house was immaculate upon arrival. There were so many small personal touches that made a difference. I told Kathleen I was going to write a whole review about how much I loved the shampoo and conditioner dispensers in the shower. You should rent this property just for those alone. 

In summary - I've seen my fair share of vacation rentals. This is a really, really great one."
5021987,39427483,2015-07-23,826809,Joseph,"Kathleen's place is ideal for a relaxing escape from everyday life. Set back in the Travis Heights neighborhood of Austin, it's a perfect stress-free oasis to kick back, unwind, and remember all that is good in life.

Walking distance from SoCo and a short Uber from all else that beautiful Austin has to offer, the location could not be better. 

The best part, Kathleen did not miss a single detail in her quaint bungalow. From the furnishings to the linens to the Brita filter, it is everything you need to feel right at home. 

I highly recommend to any small group, couple or even someone flying solo to check her place out. You will not be disappointed. 

Cheers!"

5 stars for this charming Travis Heights bungalow
6 stars, without a doubt, for Kathleen's kindness and generosity"
5021987,41971677,2015-08-10,34532727,John,"This Travis Heights Bungalow is perfectly located and is ideal for both relaxing indoors and exploring Austin. Great for both friends and small families this rental is equip with all essential items including shampoo, brita filters, snacks, and even a sewing kit. Everywhere you look a very thoughtful item is placed.

Kathleen is a fantastic host who recommended a bunch of great places for us to visit. Very welcoming and accommodating. 

This was my first experience with Airbnb and I could only hope that my future rentals will be as charming and welcoming.

Thanks Kathleen"

5021987,42919999,2015-08-16,39442767,Kristin,"The listing description was very accurate based on its description and the picture. We were not disappointed. Kathleen met us when we arrived and showed us around the apartment. She took time to answer questions, show us how the thermostat works and where the extra bed was located. This house is located in the cutest neighborhood. It is very quiet and away from the bustle of Austin. It is close to 35 and Congress St. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.  "
5021987,43528897,2015-08-20,39373979,D Scott,"This home is located in a very nice, quiet residential neighborhood convenient to downtown and the I-35 interstate.  Grocery stores, boutique retail stores and restaurants are nearby in the SOHO (South Congress Street) area.

The home itself is comfortably furnished and is exceptionally clean.  The home is spacious and includes many amenities to help make your stay enjoyable and hassle free.  The unit is quiet and affords privacy, even though it is attached to two other units.

The host resides on-site in one of the other units, and welcomed us upon arrival with an orientation to Austin and the surrounding area.  She also provided suggestions on gluten-free dining options for celiacs which was greatly appreciated.

We highly recommend that you consider staying at this property when visiting Austin.  This was our first Airbnb experience and it was great."
5021987,44489880,2015-08-26,33758448,Mariana,The lock on the front door was customized for easy access- having the combination be personalized helped a lot. There were plenty of fresh towels and snacks and the pack n play was the best!
5021987,44935603,2015-08-30,38255583,Monica,"We just returned from a wonderful weekend getaway with the family. Kathleen's house was the perfect home away from home these past two days. Beautiful neighborhood, open space, and peaceful atmosphere, just as seen in the pictures. Thank you for making our first experience using this service a great one! When in Austin, we know exactly where to stay now!  "
5021987,45990910,2015-09-07,713077,Abhi,Our visit to Austin was absolutely delightful thanks in no small part to the bungalow we stayed in.

5021987,46678788,2015-09-12,26763569,Christopher,"I had a lovely experience staying at Kathleen's house. She communicated early and clearly, despite my last minute booking request. The house is super clean, super comfortable, and well supplied! Convenient part of town too. Would love to come back!"
5021987,47305459,2015-09-17,43524362,Pascal,"The house was a wonderful place to stay. It was in a nice, quiet neighborhood, yet close to the highway. We stayed there for five nights. The house was well stocked with everything we needed for a five night stay, including a washer and dryer, kitchenware, and chocolate (and other) treats. Kathleen herself was very nice and welcoming. We would be happy to stay there again and highly recommend the house."
5021987,47493055,2015-09-19,41323866,Jennifer,Kathleen was so amazing! Her place was exactly as described and she thought of everything. Snacks upon arrival and the place was spotless.

5021987,48511316,2015-09-27,33946463,Susan,"This is my second time to stay in one of Kathleen's properties, but my first time to stay in the bungalow.  It was my husband's first time to stay in one of Kathleen's properties.  We both found the experience immensely relaxing and perfect for our 3-night getaway. The neighborhood is not only LOVELY, but perfectly situated to get to everything we love about Austin.  It is close to the lake, to the SoCo restaurants and stores, to the downtown area, 6th street, 2nd street, Capitol, and University.  It is a lovely walking (or running) neighborhood, with lots of folks out walking their dogs.  We especially love Kathleen's eye for pleasing decor, her supreme hospitality, and her provision of little snacks and drinks--and that Keurig coffee opportunity.  The kitchen was fully-equipped for us to make a meal, if we wanted.  We will be back and have recommended this place to friends!"
5021987,48788248,2015-09-28,31983487,Tasha,"Kathleen's home was perfect for our girls weekend in Austin. The location is the BEST, Travis Heights is by far one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. Who doesn't love being walking distance from South Congress!? 

She is the best hostess and thinks of all the little things, which I really appreciate. There were drinks, snacks, and every toiletry, etc you could think of. 

I would recommend her home to anyone without a doubt!"
5021987,49163476,2015-10-01,3309637,Derek,"Travis Heights Bungalow was a fantastic place to stay! It was extremely cozy and it had all the things we could've possibly needed: ironing board, cooking utensils, snacks, coffee, tea, shampoo, towels, HBO, and more! It was a beautiful home and we would most definitely stay there again. Thank you Kathleen!"
5021987,49618895,2015-10-05,41278440,Ralph,Kathleen was there to greet us when we arrived into town and made us feel right at home. She showed us around and made sure our questions were answered. If we needed anything she was there for us. 
5021987,49947847,2015-10-07,21578799,Jon,"Perfect Place! Anyone vacationing or coming to Austin for work should consider this bungalow. It's super clean, comfortable and convenient. "
5021987,50371559,2015-10-11,28073619,Kaitlyn,"Kathleen was very welcoming of our group and was kind enough to show us around the house and tell us a little bit about where to park and about who our neighbors were. We didn't interact a whole lot during the duration of our stay, however there were moments when one of the girls from our group would be sitting on the porch and we'd  see Kathleen walking by. She answered any questions that we had. I would come back definitely, such a beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood."
5021987,50596553,2015-10-12,19195891,Greg,"This is a super cute and comfy home and a welcome respite from the crowds.  Simple, clean furnishings gave us room to spread out and relax.  Kathleen is a kind and thoughtful host, even staying up late to make sure we found our way in the dark!  Take time to walk the Travis Heights neighborhood with it's mix of old and new architecture.  My little secret is Stacy Park pool, open all year, is walking distance!  This is a WPA pool, build in 1935 and a mecca for swimmers."
5021987,51122061,2015-10-18,8811392,Mary,"We had a lovely weekend staying at Kathleen's bungalow. Kathleen was there to meet us when we arrived and gave us some great ideas on local restaurants and amenities. The bungalow is in a great location, only a short stroll to Sth Congress which worked out really well. Kathleen's place is well stocked, we had everything we needed and our kids loved playing with the toys that were there. I would highly recommend!"
5021987,52690724,2015-11-01,27872993,Jessica,"Kathleen did such a wonderful job of making her house a home! It was warm and inviting. Along with just the charm of the neighborhood, Kathleen really put thought into the little details. There were small snacks, drinks, and coffee available, along with any little toiletries you might have forgotten. The location was fabulous too! We did rent a car, but we're easily within 5-10 minutes of everywhere we wanted to go. Thank you for the relaxing home away from home!"

The house is walking distance to a couple of great restaurants, a convenient store, and shopping.

I would definitely return with another large group and recommend to others."

987113,4228984,2013-04-20,5923822,Ron,"Outstanding pad. Clean as a whistle, modern and cool, great value, and an especially nice host. Super close to everything. It's close to downtown, South Congress, the Race Track, Zilker Park and the running trail. It's close to both south/north and east/west corridors - smack in the middle. It's a gated community so it's quiet. The host was basically never there so I had the place to myself. Even took advantage of the roof top deck to get some Texas tanning in, can't do that in San Francisco much. Great TexMex is literally walking distance. The host was even super careful to be quiet when I was napping, it was as if he wasn't even there. Parking is easy, right out front. Best part is it's close to music, party time, restaurants and all the fun Austin has to offer but when you get home it's quiet and peaceful. 15 minutes from the airport so coming and going is easy. 

Highly recommend this pad, 5 stars!"
987113,9832726,2014-01-13,2872622,Doug,"Doug's hospitality, town home and location in Austin are fantastic. He's very helpful, communicative and knowledgeable about Austin.  His place is super new, clean and beautiful.  And within walking distance or very short drive you'll find the perfect brunch spot, excellent coffee shop, fun beer garden, and many special restaurants.  I really like that area of Austin, and Doug provides a wonderful home to explore and experience it."
987113,10498097,2014-02-22,11423056,Alex,Another great stay at Doug's modern SoLa home!

Doug is a kind, warm host - and makes a mean cup of coffee.

The location is good.  It feels very safe, and is close to buses (if public transport's your thing) or just a short drive downtown.

Recommended - and I hope to have the chance to stay again!"

Doug is friendly and inviting and even asked me to attend his birthday party while I was there, which was fun. The house, room and bathrooms are extremely clean and I had everything that I needed during my stay. It's located within 5-15 minutes of just about anywhere you need to go in town. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Austin and I'd stay there again myself. "
987113,12427306,2014-05-02,11686771,Boris,"It was my first experience with Airbnb and Doug was the best host I could think of. Although I was pretty tired when I arrived at his home after an 16 hour trip from Germany we talked for about 3 hours. Doug is very nice and helpful, if you need anything, just ask. And his Townhome is great and exactly as described in the pictures. What you see is what you get. 
I had an awesome time in Austin and if I ever visit the city again I definitely know where I'm staying. "
987113,13583843,2014-05-31,11423056,Alex,An easy going stay at the condo. Another guest was staying in the other room and it was never an inconvenience. Great as always.

I would recommend him to everyone! "

Everything was spotless and clean and true to the images displayed on the profile.  Anytime I had a question regarding the stay or anything in the city Doug was quick to answer in person or via message. He was constantly accessible which is such a plus! Doug is a champion host and I won't hesitate to stay here again when I visit Austin another time! Thank you so much for everything!

To stay with people that know the area so well and to be so accommodating. Great recommendations on restaurants to shopping. Places I shouldn't miss! I really can't thank you enough! Beautiful home in a great centrally located area! It was so easy to get to many places. Walk, drive, Uber, bus or other! As a single female traveling alone I felt very safe and secure! I seriously can't say enough good things! Don't change a thing!!!"

5194686,26229723,2015-02-07,26905275,Alex,"Funky Austin Charm in the heart of the Eastside.  Jeff couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.  I had a friend also staying with me who arrived earlier than I did and Jeff let him in no questions asked, which I really appreciated.  Efficient and comfortable place to hang your hat while in town, size worked well for two, and the personal touches (i.e. coffee/bagels/juice, books/games) were great.
Parking very easy."
5194686,26898280,2015-02-21,1002421,David,"Great space, great location, great host, at a great price.  We couldn't ask for more."
5194686,27297088,2015-03-01,28114469,Chris,"We had a great stay at Jeff's place.  It was an unusually cold night in Austin, right around freezing, Jeff had the heaters going for us when we arrived.  The house was clean and had extra linens available.  Jeff was even nice enough to get us some bagels and cream cheese for the morning,how awesome is that! This was my first time using airbnb but if every stay is like this, my days of hotel bookings are over.   "
5194686,27421813,2015-03-03,4255218,Eric,"Excellent place, clean, as advertised. "
5194686,27567183,2015-03-07,26364910,Mary,My cousin and I had a great time. Jeff's place is in a great location close to so many great places. The house is comfortable and provides the basics and more that any traveler would need. Very happy with our stay.
5194686,27590015,2015-03-08,5754237,Saurav,"Jeff was very welcoming and made sure we got a run down of the house. The house was clean, well equipped and the location is simply awesome! . Jeff even had some food and beers for us in the fridge!"
5194686,27675183,2015-03-09,12455190,Zignat,"Jeff was very accomodating to our check-in time. I couldn't personally meet him, but one of the people in my party was able to. He said he was a cool guy.
Pros:
The cottage was cozy and I loved its quirky Austin charm. The location was great and parking was a breeze for our 3 cars. There was definitely enough blankets and linens for our party of 5 which was great. The bathroom was also very nice. We found some bagels, cream cheese and some OJ in the fridge that we didn't take advantage of, but really appreciated.

Cons:
I shared the bed in the bedroom and it wasn't the most comfortable for me. Felt a bit plasticky and once my bedmate had settled in it, I definitely felt like I was on a mini-slope towards her. The second bed adjacent to the living room was comfortable according to my friend who slept on it; however the sofa pullout housed a thin mattress, so also not too comfortable. My friends who slept on that say they would definitely not recommend two people sharing it.

I probably wouldn't stay here again, just because bed comfort/sleep means a lot to me. But it's not bad for the price if you've got a bunch of people and just need a place to crash for a couple evenings.

Things to note: The floors in the house are all concrete. We didn't really realize that beforehand, but just wanted to point it out to future airbnbers who it might matter to more. If you're wondering how this place accommodates 7 people, there is an air mattress available. We didn't need it, but we were wondering since it wasn't explicitly stated in the house description. I'm sure Jeff would've told us if we had asked/needed to know."
5194686,27806995,2015-03-12,28049814,Daniel,"Jeff was a great host and he was very accommodating. The house was clean, comfortable and exactly as described in the ad. Great location since its very close to downtown.  I'd definitely stay at his place again the next time I'm in Austin. "
5194686,27891570,2015-03-14,12057733,Valerie,"Jeff was very communicative, and the cottage was perfect for our needs. The neighborhood is awesome, and the home was ideal in terms of space and accommodations."
5194686,28410466,2015-03-23,28355157,Amy,I really love this place.  My friends and I stayed the weekend for SXSW and it was just the perfect location.  It was a 15 minute walk to places like Cuvee Coffee & Hops & Grain brewery and only a quick 30 minute walk to downtown.  I loved the fact that I could just leave the car and walk everywhere. The place was clean and was a good size for 7 people.  Jeff is very nice and responds to inquiries very quickly.  
5194686,29410836,2015-04-07,28337253,Cindy,"Although we wouldn't rebook, this May be the perfect place for someone else.

Pros:
great location 
Cheap under $10 uber rides everywhere 
Cute neighborhood

Cons:
Grass and yard was very over grown
Floors and living areas are in need of a cleaning ie:dust dirt cobwebs a few dead insects
We had to go purchase hand soap and toilet paper as soon as we got there.

"
5194686,30006235,2015-04-15,2361577,Christina,"Just returned from a quick best friend road trip to Austin. Jeff's place was perfect for us. Jeff was there to greet us when we arrived, show us around, and offered us suggestions on places in the area. His place was super comfy and located perfectly for the activities we had planned. Thanks for the hospitality Jeff! We would definately stay here again."
5194686,30074141,2015-04-17,4739974,Naomi,"Awesome home to stay; very quite at night and peaceful garden to have breakfast or read. It's very close to great bars and restaurants on the East side, like The White Horse (we loved it). Easy to get around the city. Jeff was an amazing host; always reachable and very responsive. He even suggested us a lot of cool places. "
5194686,30298320,2015-04-20,28561276,Stacey,The apartment was great and had everything we needed during our stay. East Austin was a great neighborhood to be based in--lots of fun restaurants and bars. 
5194686,30412493,2015-04-21,19845772,Bianca,"Our experience at Jeff's was amazing. He was so nice and so attentive. The house is in a great location too. We walked over to yellow jacket club which was only a few blocks away.  Overall it was a really good experience, the house is so charming and clean. We used the kitchen to reheat leftovers the next morning. And he had everything we needed! Even hot sauce and orange juice. Oh and so many good books to read and board games! And don't forget the drum set! It was perfect! Will definitely come back! That's not even a question. "
5194686,30761685,2015-04-27,26525123,Rocio,We enjoyed our stay at Jeff's place. He's very flexible & quick to respond. Location is perfect if you want to stay close to downtown.

5194686,31320413,2015-05-04,8640381,Aaron,"My guests and I were very comfortable in Jeff's cottage. It's in a wonderful location, close to some great bars and restaurants in my favorite part of town. He was attentive to our needs and responded quickly. Feels good getting what you pay for! Thanks Jeff, hit me up if you ever come up to Seattle."
5194686,31656637,2015-05-08,10229078,Melati,"We loved meeting Jeff and staying at his wonderful place. Great location, wonderful amenities - overall: the perfect stop for our cross-country trip. Thank you, Jeff!"
5194686,31936153,2015-05-12,26445569,Tianna,"Jeff's place was absolutely perfect for our first stay in Austin! After two long days of driving from Los Angeles, my boyfriend, our two friends, and I were immensely excited about this sweet, spacious spot! Jeff had supplied us with bagels and orange juice and the place was stocked with enough towels, blankets and pillows for all of us. My boyfriend's band could even practice for their show that night, since Jeff's place was complete with a drum set. Since the floors are cement, it stayed pretty cool in the house, and we only had to use the air conditioning at nighttime before we went to sleep. 

The neighborhood was our favorite part of the experience. There were plenty of awesome bars and restaurants easily within walking distance from us, and we were only 15 minutes driving time away from the grounds for Psych Fest (our reason for visiting Austin). Being able to walk to an exciting, fun nightlife without it feeling touristy is personally most important to me when traveling somewhere new! 

I would highly recommend staying at Jeff's place! We will definitely be staying there again!"
5194686,32203894,2015-05-15,15178605,Nikko,Jeff's place was very clean and cozy.  I didn't get a chance to meet Jeff but the process went smoothly.  I would definitely stay there again the next time i'm in Austin.
5194686,32219868,2015-05-15,32343076,Lena,"Jeff's cottage is awesome! Clean and cozy, great location. Jeff was very responsive when we reported an issue with the toilet, he came over immediately. He is a great host! We would love to stay at this place next time we are in Austin."
5194686,32302354,2015-05-16,28592288,Jules,Great location and nice clean property at a great price. Jeff was helpful with things to see around the area. Highly recommended.
5194686,32481783,2015-05-18,1873473,Dana,"To sum up our girls vacation in one word, perfect. It was just as it looked online. Clean, good sized and exactly what we needed. If I had to say something bad it would be that there was only one mirror. But that is the only bad thing I can say. Even with all the rain it was the perfect location. Our Uber to 6th street cost 4.25!  Can't beat it. Stay here!!  It was 3 of us, but it would have slept 6 if needed.  Awesome. Just awesome. Thank you!!"
5194686,32792560,2015-05-21,8904016,Gabe,"Jeff is super nice, helpful and easy to deal with. Great little neighborhood, some nice food options in walking distance, a $5 Lyft/Uber ride to downtown. Place was clean, not super nice inside but about what you'd expect for the price.

"
5194686,32902017,2015-05-23,12652896,Alex,"The house was a good place to stay, solid location with a cheap taxi to 6th street. House smelled a little bit odd (like a cat) when we came in but no complaints other than that"
5194686,33292709,2015-05-26,32092603,Yajing,It's my first time to order by airbnb. It was a good experience for me. My daughter and my parents were all enjoyed at Jeff 's house.
5194686,33610114,2015-05-30,33209213,Jim,"Pro: -Jeff was extremely helpful whenever I needed to get in touch with him. 
-Cottage was about fifteen minutes from UT and downtown.
Con: -Strange smell when we first walked into the place, can't really describe it. We ended up getting an air freshener and leaving it for future guests. 
-AC was also a little strange. Both AC units worked perfectly, but they didn't really cover the whole house. I was sleeping in one bedroom and the AC unit-which was only a little ways away from the bed- didn't really help at all. I'm the kind of person that needs a room to be cool for a couple of reasons and was a little disappointed . Other than that though it was a great experience!"
5194686,33913889,2015-06-02,30806890,Josh,Jeff was very nice and the cottage was great! His neighbors are friendly and everyone you meet on the block will give you sound advice as to where to spend time in the city. The location is quiet and close to some great food trucks and coffee shops. If I ever make it back to Austin I will definitely stay here again! Thanks Jeff.
5194686,34040362,2015-06-03,34612275,Ben,The cottage was absolutely perfect for our visit to Austin. Super cute place in a great location. A sensible walk or short uber drive to the best areas. Jeff was a breeze to rent from!

5194686,34420395,2015-06-08,259134,Sharon Shari,"Jeff was very good at working with me on our arrival and accommodating about some of our party departing late.  A good value for those on a budget.  After the expense of flying 5 people in for a wedding, affordable lodging was very helpful.  Easy parking was also nice."
5194686,34915499,2015-06-13,35307185,Elyse,"Thank you for sharing your home with my friends and I. We had a wonderful time. The cottage was perfect- close to where we wanted to be, with all the amenities we needed.  I'd definitely stay here again!"

5194686,36144866,2015-06-25,14952646,Ashley,The house is in an awesome location and Jeff makes it easy to get settled in. 
5194686,37034134,2015-07-04,14285828,Chris,"Jeff was easily accessible, as my flights were delayed, and he was super understanding; super accommodating. Property was great for Hunter and I. Easy access to nightlife and restaurants on 6th street, but a quiet neighborhood at night. Great recommendations for restaurants, park visits, and bars on the refrigerator. He also has the house next to 203, for larger groups of guests. Met him once, as he mowed the grass, and was super nice. Would certainly recommend his properties, and would also not hesitate to stay at one of his properties again."
5194686,37298270,2015-07-06,30708521,Aparna,"Jeff's place is exactly as described on the listing. It is a very cute cottage located in a neighborhood that is close to most of the fun places in Austin. The apartment was very clean and there were instructions of where everything can be found in the apartment. We especially loved the presence of 2 extremely comfortable beds. Jeff was a very interactive host and asked us well in advance when we would be arriving and also accommodated for early check-in. Overall, we loved our stay at Jeff's and I would definitely recommend this place for anybody visiting Austin."
5194686,37803806,2015-07-10,37359840,Garrett,"Jeff was a great host, and was eager to help. He definitely let us have our personal space, and I can't thank him enough for that. I would recommend for anybody that wants a cheap few days in Austin for 3-6 people."
5194686,38151505,2015-07-13,32907566,Nicole,"The house was pretty close to a lot of fun places to eat, live music and bars.  We were a group of friends just in for the weekend, so this place worked out great for us!"
5194686,38776339,2015-07-18,30174527,Patty,"Jeffs place was as described and suited our needs as we only needed to stay for a night. Great location close to E 6th street. Slept 4 guys comfortably and while we didnt get to meet Jeff, his communication was great and made staying at his place easy!"
5194686,39040807,2015-07-20,10059851,Annie,"Jeff's cottage is a quaint little place that is perfect for a short trip to Austin with your friends. Located within 10 min. from downtown, you can't really can't beat the price and location. Jeff is easy going and communicative. When the AC started leaking, he addressed and came over promptly to try to fix the issue. Overall, he's a great host!"

5194686,40628001,2015-08-01,25463932,Duane,"Everything was set up very nice. No tv but the games, books and cd collection along with the stereo made up for it. Didn't realize there was AC in the back bedroom til we were leaving. Maybe put a sign or move the curtain? Other than that, we greatly enjoyed the experience and location. "
5194686,41061028,2015-08-04,18884499,Aurelie,We had a great stay at Jeff's place! It was exactly what we needed for 7 people and very conveniently located. Thanks Jeff!

5194686,42734781,2015-08-15,18777971,Thanya,"Jeff was a great host!
His Eastside Cottage was at an absolutely perfect location in Austin. Not to far from downtown, great walking distance to east Austin (with great microbreweries) and easily accessible.  Jeff was very fast and easy to communicate. His eastside cottage is very cozy and had great amenities, perfect for fitting 6 people too. I'd stay at the eastide Cottage all over again and in the future."
5194686,43389492,2015-08-19,38123790,Liz,"House was clean and it was really nice having a dishwasher and laundry accessible. Location was great, we were able to walk to bus stops or call an uber. Didn't try the Car2Go service but there seemed to be a lot in the immediate area, also a nice convenience.
Austin is HOT in August, but Jeff's place stayed nice and cool."
5194686,43560941,2015-08-20,29544054,Howard,"I needed an extra night to stay solo in Austin, and Jeff's eastside cottage near East Cesar Chavez was perfect.  I can even foresee a couple staying here.  Space is efficiently maximized to include all basic amenities, and everything was clean.  Jeff was very responsive to a few questions I had.  The window AC unit gives a great blast to battle the 100+F Austin heat!  I have no hesitation staying at Jeff's place again."

There's 2 AC units inside the house so it doesn't get hot if you leave the AC on despite how sweltering hot it is outside.

Jeff was very easy to communicate with and provided everything we needed for our stay including bug spray. Would recommend this place to others as it is in a good location!"
5194686,44165500,2015-08-24,29696738,Pamela,Great place! It was clean and slept 4 of us comfortably. So close to 6th street it was easy and cheap to get transportation. Would recommend any time!

We had 5 guests total and everyone slept comfortably. The location was amazing. Walking distance for a good day drinking session and an easy place to find after a night in Austin. Overall great place and my two dogs also felt at home during their stay there. A must airbnb for anyone thinking about coming to Austin.

I felt right at home when I walked in, bed linen, towels, and other essentials were all provided and the house was really clean and located in a very nice neighborhood with lots to do in walking distance. This was my first time using airbnb, so I really didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised."

The place was clean, had more than everything we needed. We were a group of four and all fit/slept comfortably and could easily have added 2 more people if needed. I would definitely come back to this place. Check in/check out was super easy.
Thanks Jeff! =)"
5194686,48391897,2015-09-26,13893161,Maddie,Jeff was very communicative and accommodating. The cottage was as pictured and clean. 
5194686,48550989,2015-09-27,30314237,Dana,The cottage was as described. It served our purpose of a one night stop in Austin on our cross country trip. I wouldn't  stay more than one night - sheets and towels were clean but furniture seemed old and worn and the cottage kind of just had an older smell to it. Check in was easy and uber was very convenient as we didn't feel comfortable walking. Overall good experience.

5194686,49086970,2015-09-30,2342968,Juan Luis,"The description was accurate, the place was clean and the location is awesome and parking is easy.

The collection of CD's that Jeff owns will make you doble guess your self. Do I want to go out or should I stay here and listen to some music?

"
5194686,49232905,2015-10-02,6423886,Simon,"My trip at Jeff's cottage was short but sweet. 
Communication was good, and the cottage had everything I needed for my stay. The location was great - quiet street, but close to lots of east side coffee shops, bars and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again!
"
5194686,49362206,2015-10-03,12777534,Liz And Jeff,Good communication.  Easy going.

5194686,50743422,2015-10-14,9500044,Daniel,"This was one of the better overall spots I have styaed at on AirBnB. Both arriring and checking out were smooth transitions. Information about both local and in area attraction, Food and drinks were easily available. access to a washer and dryer was a sweet plus. No complaints, I would recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Austin area."
5194686,51560723,2015-10-21,45409799,Wei,"Superb experience.  Place is in a very quiet neighborhood, but very close to downtown Austin. Jeff had everything ready for us when we got there. Overall a great experience."
5194686,51629444,2015-10-22,44506923,Ariel,This was such a great location! We walked everywhere downtown and used many of the recommendations on the fridge. My only regret was that we didn't stay in Austin longer.
5194686,51719683,2015-10-24,42603257,Philip,The place has a nice location and is super easy to get to.  The house is comfortable and has a quiet yard.  Jeff was accommodating and I felt welcome.
5194686,52575049,2015-10-31,40409750,Kathryn,"Jeff was very welcoming and responsive. He made some thoughtful recommendations based on my interests. The location was good, walkable to restaurants, downtown and music venues. "
5194686,52945625,2015-11-02,21567778,Kate,"Jeff was quick to respond - we booked on Thursday for Saturday as our initial place to stay fell through. He made everything a breeze for us. The Eastside Cottage was adorable, in such a fun part of Austin, and so close to downtown that you really can't beat it for the price. The place was stocked with everything you might need, as well as with an abundance of books and music. There was even a general recommendation list, including places one should visit while in Austin,  restaurants and restaurants that deliver, transportation, etc. We were very content with our stay there, and will definitely be keeping it in mind for future Austin trips!"
5194686,53086737,2015-11-04,4878647,Aldo,"My friends and I stayed at Jeff's cottage for two nights and it was an excellent experience. The place is super clean, comfortably furnished, and has all the modern conveniences we needed. The location was great - walking distance to great bars and restaurants, but also very quiet. Highly recommended."
5194686,53162880,2015-11-05,48026491,William,Awesome first Airbnb experience! Both the cottage and its location are top notch. Jeff was a great host who was a pleasure to deal with and provided prompt answers to all of our newbie questions. 10/10 would stay again. 
5319080,28060174,2015-03-16,29181923,Edwin,"Lindsey was a gracious host, condo was clean and she made sure we felt at home. She was there to greet us and hand over the keys; she was available for questions and offered to help in anyway she could. Highly recommend her place. "
5319080,28436281,2015-03-23,11844528,Kevin,"Lindsay's place was exactly as advertised.  Cozy, and very accessible to downtown Austin.  We stayed here during SXSW, and would recommend it again to future travelers."
7659628,50710874,2015-10-13,1728988,Judy,The house is in a terrific location with a short walking distance to terrific coffee shops and delicious restaurants.  David was super fast to respond whenever we had questions.  I'd stay here again!
4263947,28696722,2015-03-29,7108172,Kelly,"I loved the house!  It was well-taken care of and welcoming.  Our overall visit to Austin was enhanced because of the house.  The process of check in/check out was very easy, too.  "
4263947,34295423,2015-06-07,2433168,Chris,The house was perfect for our stay in Austin. Everything was represented accurately in the photos. The neighborhood was quiet & convenient. 
4263947,38106442,2015-07-13,29093315,Sammy,"Our group of 9 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mary's house! It's really cute and there was plenty of space for us all (2 sets of couples, and 5 single friends). We loved the location, it was 10 minutes to everything we wanted to do. Neighborhood is quiet and quirky...we especially enjoyed Torchy's Tacos just a few blocks away.  I highly recommend this listing!"
4263947,45921683,2015-09-07,11584116,Morgan,"Mary was great and so helpful during our stay. The house is adorable, even better than it looks in pictures. 
We had unfortunate luck and the AC unit was completely broken in the larger side of the house. When we let Mary know that it was not working, she immediately went out and bought several large fans and brought them over to us to cool the place off. She got in contact with an AC repair man right away. It unfortunately couldn't be fixed and Mary offered to refund us for our entire stay (even though we had already stayed one night). We ended up staying and just hanging out in the smaller side of the duplex most of the time where the AC worked. Mary refunded us the cost of the larger side of the house for the weekend. 
In a nutshell, the house was perfect, in an adorable neighborhood and a short cab ride to activities. I can't recommend this house enough! We just had some bad luck with the AC, but Mary did everything she could to make us comfortable and did a great job handling a tough situation. She's a wonderful host! 
"
4263947,47630837,2015-09-21,21082091,Jesse,The house was spacious and clean. The living room and lawn spaces were really nice to have. A short drive / Uber to get downtown. Had a great stay!
4263947,48508191,2015-09-27,36720945,Mark,What a great experience. Came in town for a wedding. 12 friends from all over the country. Comfortable setting it was nice to have everyone in one place. We all got our own bedroom. We had a slight issue with the wi-fi one of my friends texted Mary and she got everything straightened out right away. If you do stay here make sure to walk down the street to the Torchy's Tacos. It's a short walk and they serve incredible food. We went there 3 times as a group in. Two days. Enjoy! 
5635779,47006399,2015-09-14,4010601,Patrick,"John's apartment was exactly what my wife and I were looking for, its a few short minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Austin and all that it has to offer but still very quiet and relaxing. The view from the bedroom and balcony is spectacular, completely open views as far as the eye can see in all directions with Downtown Austin and its skyscrapers the only thing in front of you. John's description of his apartment is 100% accurate and I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you!"
5635779,49801518,2015-10-06,43188386,Lianne,"John's apartment was wonderful. Great location, space and he was a perfect host.

No complaints!"
5635779,50667381,2015-10-13,15136007,Eugenio,"El departamento es tal cual aparece en las fotos. Es un penthouse con una recamara principal (con baño amplio y regadera) , una recamara chica con un colchón infalible queen size, con su par de almohadas, sabanas, etc.
El departamento estaba impecablemente limpio. El área social es muy cómoda y de buen tamaño. 
Una vista espectacular al lago."
5635779,51316879,2015-10-19,43972215,Vanessa,The apartment was wonderful and with a spectacular view. We wouldn't hesitate to rent it again and recommend it to friends and family. 
5635779,52105577,2015-10-26,44441702,Sam,"We had an incredible time in this apartment, the place was in excellent condition and is in a very good location. John was a great host and was always willing to help with anything we needed. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the Austin area. "
9211135,53102918,2015-11-04,47942733,Sharla,I paid but I Didn't stay. She was kinda rude and unforgiving that this was my first time using the site.
4839691,28076536,2015-03-17,25856034,Sevasti,Kate was super flexible and accommodating. The house was perfect for our company at SXSW.
1510544,10880345,2014-03-11,11455734,Richard,"Staying with Emily and Stephen was great! They were very welcoming, offered us food and some fantastic beer after a stressful day of travelling. The room was spacious and public areas were welcoming and comfortable. Captain and Bronco (the dogs) are friendly and well behaved; they'll leave you alone if you're reading or eating, but will come for a petting if you want them to. 

The neighborhood was quiet but not too far out of the way. Public transit is easily accessible and it's a short drive up South Lamar into downtown, or over to cool neighborhoods south of the river.

It's definitely worth staying here!"
1510544,13124061,2014-05-19,3703885,Claudia,"Emily and Stephen are awesome hosts. They made us cake and pizza (straight from pizza oven they built themselves). Suggested us places to explore, and places to eat. The two dogs are very gentle, obedient, and loved to play. The place is clean, quiet, and comfortable. We shared a bathroom with another airbnb couple but we did not have any schedule conflict. I hope i get to visit again some day!"
1510544,17449092,2014-08-12,7401395,Kamulijiang,"It was a pleasure staying with Emily and Stephen. They are wonderful hosts, very kind and easy going! They gave me many helpful tips on places to visit in Austin. Their house was very tidy and their pets were very friendly."
1510544,18867945,2014-09-01,16868066,Ashley,Emily was wonderful! The room was adorable! I would definitely recommend anyone staying here. The location was perfect for all of the great places that South Austin has to offer.
1510544,22684535,2014-11-11,1388887,Julie,"Photos were very accurate but they don't capture how warm and friendly Emily and her pets are.  It was a very relaxing stay and thanks to the well-equipped kitchen, even managed to bake some cookies during my stay.  Would definitely stay here again."
1510544,28130359,2015-03-18,26766268,Doug,"Emily and Stephen were very friendly and welcoming. I needed help using the Austin public transit and they went above and beyond to help me navigate. Also provided food for breakfast.

The home was generally quiet and relaxed. I'm good with animals but if you're not okay with a cat or dogs this isn't the place for you.

Pros:
-friendly hosts
-quiet home

Cons:
-difficult to get back from downtown Austin using public transit (buses stop around 10 or midnight)
-other guests may be staying at the same time"
1510544,28331419,2015-03-22,9283846,Alec,"Emily and Stephen have a wonderful home and were very accommodating during our one week stay for SXSW.  Their home was very tidy and gave us great convenience as it is only 15 minutes south of Austin (way more available than where I stayed in Round Rock last year).  They offered us pretty much anything and everything in their fridge, and even surprised us with a full breakfast one morning.  If you have business in or near Austin and are traveling as a single or duo party I'd definitely recommend you give their place a shot!"
1510544,32442202,2015-05-17,2139924,Abby,"Emily was amazingly fast in communication. I had to stay overnight in Austin last minute, and she accepted my request super last minute and quickly, and let me check in within a hour and a half of my reservation request! Not that that might always be possible, but it was a huge gift for me, being very tired and wanting to stay over last minute. Emily was working, but her husband Stephen met me and showed me the ropes, made me feel at home, gave me some sparkling water! I was so happy!! There was a rough storm that night, and I left something in my car, only to forget to bring the entry code, so I had to call Emily late to get it! She was totally cool about that too. Not to say that that will always be cool, but I was quite appreciative of the flexibility, considering my situation. The area is super artsy, and its' close to a nature preserve, which I enjoyed walking around in. I will definitely stay there again if I need to."
1510544,32952129,2015-05-23,25971417,Brynn,Emily and her husband were great hosts- they took us last minute and made us feel welcome! Their pets were friendly and helped us feel relaxed :) would recommend staying here!

1510544,37271491,2015-07-05,7883666,Cindy,We had a lovely stay at Emily's house on July 4th. The accommodations were clean and look exactly as pictured. We met the furry friends upon arrival and they are so calm and well behaved.  I would recommend staying here again.
1510544,40878850,2015-08-02,40092651,Paul,They were absolutely phenomenal! Very great first experience using airbnb. Their cat (pumpkin) was fun to play with and I even got breakfast in the morning

1510544,47941846,2015-09-21,37169443,Grégory,Emily and her husband are more than friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and the atmosphere was homelike. Their home is a quiet and residential area. Thanks
1510544,50012592,2015-10-08,15485304,Kelley,"Emily and her pets immediately made me feel welcome.  I was greeted at the door by their pet chicken.  Her 2 dogs and cat were adorable and well behaved.  Emily chatted with me a bit the first night, offering me suggestions on what to go see in Austin.  She was very kind.  The house and room were as described.  Bed was very comfortable.  Would highly recommend staying with them."
1510544,51721316,2015-10-24,2923129,Rebecca,Nice and cozy home in a quiet neighborhood. Check in was easy and we got a happy- tail wagging greeting from Captain and Bronco. We slept great and enjoyed hearing the hurricane rain on the rooftop. Emily was super fast in all correspondence. 
1510544,52005855,2015-10-25,46934726,Casey,"My friend and I very much enjoyed our experience at Emily's home. Her and her husband are very warm, and their animals are sweet. Their house is so unique and fun, I wish I could've stayed longer to pick their brains. Their home is also very aesthetically pleasing- I loved the fun artifacts and books, along with the recycled wood boards used for flooring in the bedroom. No complaints!"
5524728,27454511,2015-03-04,15495549,Jennifer,I had such a great time staying at Judah's apartment. Don't let its age fool you. It's kept incredibly clean and it's super comfortable. The mattress on the queen bed was great I slept like a baby. I also loved having the kitchen available. I was able to cook which saved me a lot of money. I would definitely stay here again. 
77039,202371,2011-03-18,427484,Karl,Lin is an excellent host with lots of local knowledge of Austin. The house is comfortable with the charming horse ranch style living. 
77039,547773,2011-09-19,1129327,Jean-Marie,"We had a lovely stay with Lin.  Her ranch, though very conveniently located (within ten minutes of South Congress, and fifteen of downtown Austin), is a very relaxing, peaceful setting.  My husband and I look forward to staying with her again."
77039,612495,2011-10-09,1228431,Jettie,"Onion Creek Ranch is the peaceful night's sleep surrounded by the warmth and decor of the Texas friendly ranch setting and still so close to Austin business, arts district, music venues and the Airport. Comfortable bed and clean, nice shower. Lin is the gracious hostess that makes you feel like family. So fun to wake up to the rooster crowing a greeting to the new sunny day in beautiful Austin, Texas! -Jettie"
77039,1031176,2012-03-22,563382,Bonnie,"Lin was a wonderful host. She would often go beyond even Texan hospitality to make our stay more enjoyable or comfortable, and taught us a lot about Texan history and food! We even benefited from her great cooking a couple of times!! The ranch is lovely and was a great oasis of calm within the craziness of SXSW Austin downtown. Her dogs were very lovable too! "
77039,2501329,2012-10-03,2937569,Matthias,The reservation was canceled 42 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
77039,3756676,2013-03-11,5166295,Laure,"I had a great time staying with Lin. Her ranch is located 20 minutes from downtown Austin. As you drive in, it feels like stepping in another world! If you like horses, this is the place to stay. Lin's house is cute and cosy and decorated with horses painting and photos. Her 3 dogs are lovely and were very welcoming. I got to enjoy a cup of coffee on the first morning I was there with Lin. We had a nice little talk and then walked over the ranch to see the horses and say hi to the 12 day old colt!
My room was small, but it had everything I needed and was clean. I had my own bathroom, which was great. The bed was comfortable and waking up to the birds singing was priceless. Thank you Lin. I'd definitely stay there again. "
5410576,28180399,2015-03-19,5047809,Chloé,"Amazing place ! 
The house was clean, quiet and in a good neighborhood. Deborah and her family are very sweet and kindly welcomed us. 
Everything you need is in the house, internet, laundry, everything in the kitchen, TV, video games... 
It's only 15 minutes bike distance to downtown, it's near the famous Zilker Park and the Barton Springs Pool. 
Many thanks to the Trejo family, they are wonderful hosts ! "
5410576,28333196,2015-03-22,14344871,Katie,"There a two kinds of properties that you tend to see on Airbnb...staged homes that are mostly used as rentals or family homes that are occasionally used as rentals. Deborah's house is most definitely a family home.  There are five bedrooms total: one queen bedroom and four kids rooms with single beds or bunk beds. It suited our purposes just fine as we were a bunch of people traveling through austin for work -- not couples -- so sharing bunk beds was better for us than sharing double beds.  

The location of the house is fantastic...a short walk to coffee and great breakfast tacos. Street parking is safe and easy. Having laundry on site was great. Deborah was quick to respond to any question we had and helped make our stay very pleasant. Thank you!"
5265366,31851723,2015-05-10,7289799,Joshua,"Nice apartment, lovely place to stay. Central location convenient to downtown and University. Corner store, coffee house and breakfast food all across the street. I had friends visiting and no room to put them up. They were thrilled to have their ""own place"" to stay while in town. Communication with Elizabeth was great, fast responses to both my guests and myself. Highly recommended. "
5265366,36314901,2015-06-27,13998201,Margaret,"I had a great experience in Elizabeth's Hyde Park pad. The place is VERY well located: it's a short walk from a coffee shop and convenience store and a long walk from restaurants, a grocery store, a gelato shop, a bakery, and a park with a municipal pool. When you step out of Elizabeth's place, you definitely know you're in Austin! The place itself was clean, the bed was cozy, and the shower was good. Elizabeth was super flexible, and coming and going was easy. I would definitely book another stay there!"
5265366,40802772,2015-08-02,36366324,Crystal,"Elizabeth's place was located a short driving distance from a number of parks around the city- nothing was more than a 15min drive. There was also a bus line that stopped directly in front of the condo in case you are traveling sans car.

We loved that the coffee shop and yoga studio were just across the street!

The bed was super comfy and her kitchen was stocked with essentials for preparing your own meals. Loved this spot!"
5265366,42046853,2015-08-10,2410505,Ryan,Enjoyable stay in Austin! Super comfy bed. The space worked well for 3 people - any more would have been too crowded for me. The price was right. Took the bus at the stop conveniently located in front of the building a couple times heading downtown. Wish I had more time to explore the city! 
5265366,43719161,2015-08-21,41251546,Jacqueline,"We loved the apartment and neighborhood.  It was clean and beautiful decorated.  Elizabeth was a amazing host, making our stay relaxing and easy. Very zen like."
5265366,47786569,2015-09-21,43047922,Vivek,"Elizabeth's apartment was easy to find, easy to get into and a pleasure to stay at over the weekend. Its very easy to get downtown/to campus /around Austin from here. Overall we had a great weekend!"
5265366,48567427,2015-09-27,19072963,Jennifer,Elizabeth's apartment was awesome! Her place is immaculate and welcoming - the perfect spot for a weekend getaway! I also appreciated how conveniently located it was - right on a bus line that will take you right to downtown and near tons of great restaurants and shops in Hyde Park and North Loop.  
5265366,49446435,2015-10-04,36576863,Carson,"The apartment was a great place to stay. Elizabeth made the check-in and check-out really simple, and the apartment was perfectly described in the listing. The living room was plenty spacious enough  for the pull out bed and double air mattress and the bed in the bedroom was super comfortable. There was plenty of parking on the street right outside the apartment, and it was a very nice area. I would definitely recommend staying here."
5265366,50442967,2015-10-12,21226318,Jessica,This was a perfect place to stay for our group! Great location to get anywhere in Austin. The apartment was clean and Elizabeth was very helpful! 
5265366,52191498,2015-10-26,47199744,Aaron,"An amazing little place. Perfectly clean and very welcoming to all those who are fortunate enough to spend some time. The little market across the street has one of the better beer selections I have come across in my travels. Overall, a fantastic place to spend some time, relax, hang out and have a great time. Elizabeth was super sweet and very attentive to all our needs. I would love to stay again the next time we are in town...."
6870646,46061832,2015-09-07,42856545,Erin,"Bobbi was an exceptional host!! The studio was perfect and exactly as described. Very well appointed and everything we needed. The backyard and garden was the perfect setting. A great get away spot for the weekend. Bobbi was extremely friendly and helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. She went above and beyond and was understanding of our late arrival after work and travel time that Friday night. She was always quick to respond to questions and gave us all the information we needed quickly. During our stay, she showed us through the main house as well and it is another perfect place to stay. I would highly recommend Bobbi as an Airbnb host to anyone and would definitely stay again!"
6870646,47531067,2015-09-20,34346526,Mark,"The Studio was very neat and clean.  The neighborhood is very quiet.  The location is convenient to the university.
Communication with the host was very good.
Thanks Bobbi"
6870646,49472346,2015-10-04,31917497,Stephanie,"Bobbi is wonderful!  Her house is absolutely adorable!  It was cozy, clean, and felt just like home! We arrived very late and Bobbi made sure we could get in and left the light on for us! She was available for anything we might need and left snacks, drinks and instructions for wifi and how to use things around the house.  So thoughtful!  Our stay was perfect and we plan to stay again soon.  I even met Bobbi and her husband Rick and they are just sweet as can be!  You will be well taken care of staying with Bobbi!"
6870646,50649584,2015-10-13,115650,Tricia,"Bobbi was an amazing host from the minute we arrived until the moment we left. The studio at Avenue B was a perfect small sanctuary in Austin's Hyde Park neighborhood. Walking distance (.4miles or less) to markets, restaurants, transportation, yoga and everything we needed. The place was perfect for our week long stay and we will definitely return on our next Austin visit. "
6870646,51143971,2015-10-18,13776105,Jim,"We have stayed at several airbnbs over the last few years and Bobbi is the BEST host we have worked with to date.  She has been a great communicator, super responsive to inquiries and very informative about the details of her place. 

The cottage must have been recently updated.  Everything is in great shape and efficiently designed for a small and cozy living space.  The hide-a-bed is the most comfortable we have ever slept on. The kitchen is stylish and functional. 

If we ever get back to Austin, we will definitely make Bobbi's place our first choice."
6870646,52603591,2015-10-31,8669421,Laura,"The experience we had with Bobbi was incredible. The Studio is beautiful and perfect for a stay in Austin! Cute retro kitchen, cozy lounging area and the lofted bed is so dreamy. Bobbi's hospitality was so nice and upon arrival we were greeted with fresh flowers, a bottle of wine, a handwritten welcome note and a little goodie bag filled with snacks and apples. Lots of ""awww!""s were had. The Studio itself was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed for our stay. She even provides a French press and espresso maker! 

We Michiganders in Texas for the first time were lucky enough to experience some record-breaking storms and rainfall, and even though Bobbi was out of town, she was still in touch regarding our safety and ""what do we do?"" texts. The Austin airport experienced a number of cancellations and delays — Bobbi didn't hesitate to offer us another night in the Studio or in her own home in the case that we couldn't make it back to Michigan. Fortunately our flight was still on, but Bobbi's kindness blew us away. Her offer meant so much! 

The location of the Studio was nice as well — a quiet area that made me feel safe while still being in walking distance to a drug store and restaurants. When we wanted to travel downtown an Uber was never more than 5 minutes away.

Overall our experience could not have been better. We didn't want to leave! Thank you so much for everything, Bobbi! xo"

It was an emergency accommodation that I needed because I had an allergic reaction to the cat at the place I was orginally staying at. Kelsy replied within minutes and was very sweet and understanding about the situation. Within an hour we were able to settle into our room and have peace of mind of where we were staying. The area was nice and overall experience exceeded our expectations! I would recommend anyone to visit Kelsey, Jeremy and their dog Bernie any day!"
936141,8434352,2013-10-30,2427395,Ian,"Adrienne was an incredible host.  Her apartment was centrally located and she let me use her bike to get around town.  She also suggested places to eat, go out, etc. and invited me out with her friends on the first night.  I would definitely recommend her as a host, super nice and friendly!  Continued to check in throughout my stay to make sure everything was going smoothly.  Thanks Adrienne! "
936141,8717297,2013-11-13,1439593,Michael,"Adrienne was a gracious and accommodating host.  Always responsive, she made she we had everything we had and had a ton of recommendations on what to do, where to eat and how to get the most out of Austin.

Her place is conveniently located near ton's of fun on 11th street and east 6th.  It's also just a few minutes from Downtown.  Can't beat it!"

"
936141,10909248,2014-03-12,5039516,April,"Great location! Minutes from convention center and next to great places to eat. I was able to find a Car2Go fairly easy in this area. This was close enough to the action, but far enough to relax. The place was cozy and felt like I was staying at a friend's house. Adrienne was super attentive, very flexible with check in/out and understanding when I broke the coffee pot. She even provided toiletries, wheat bread, eggs and coffee. "
936141,10986951,2014-03-16,1414696,Steve,Adrienne was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I enjoyed the experience. 
936141,12300401,2014-04-28,2323491,Russell,"This apartment is very conveniently located for visiting downtown Austin. There is a bus stop s apartment is very cozy and comfortable, with an eclectic Austin and south Texas cultural splash. The internet worked fine, since I was at a professional conference I needed to check things a bit and there were no problems at all.  Plenty of closet space and hangars made available by Adrienne. She was a fabulous host, providing any information I requested, coffee, and light breakfast fare. A great location and a terrific value for one person or a couple."
936141,13998742,2014-06-09,15564871,Sormeh,"Loved this stay! The apartment has everything as stated in the description. Super convenient location, walking distance to east 6th and some quaint restaurants on 11th. Highly recommend this space. "
936141,15382783,2014-07-07,17620989,Rich,An impromptu trip to Austin for the weekend with my wife and dog.  We contacted Adrienne late the night before we were going to go to Austin and that morning she replied and accommodated us on short notice.  Great location. Everything we were looking for (food and drinks) were minutes away.  Very accommodating and friendly! 
936141,18865893,2014-09-01,20698576,Stanley,"I had a great time visiting family outside of Austin. I needed a place close to downtown where all the happening bars and music is and Adrienne's place was perfect, full of character. It made my stay in Austin a unique experience, and she was very helpful for anything I needed. And her coffee was awesome!"
936141,19981870,2014-09-21,21094748,Aaryn,Super cool apartment in a great location with an awesome host!
936141,20381192,2014-09-28,21418200,Leslie,"Adrienne's place was wonderful. Great decor, great location, great host. She was quick to respond to my initial request and to any questions I had and she provided coffee and breakfast and some basic toiletries. I felt totally at home. A fantastic experience. "
936141,21296306,2014-10-14,21225596,Joshua,"Adrienne has a great house with lovely decor and art, a short walk away from downtown East Austin and close to all the city has to offer.  She was very welcoming and helped us out as needed.  We stayed through Austin City Limits, had a great time at her place, and would return again!"
936141,21543453,2014-10-19,484797,Fiona,"Adrienne was super great to communicate with and I knew if we had any problems or questions at all (which we didn't) that I'd be able to get a lightening fast response from her! Her house is in a nice location a little outside of the city. We were able to rent bikes within a few blocks and basically bike around all of Austin with ease-- in other words, her place isn't in the hustle and bustle of the city but it's still easy to get around. Perfect place for 1-2 people to come back to after a day of adventuring. Thanks Adrienne!"
936141,25482542,2015-01-17,4468618,Monica,"Adrienne's home was a perfect spot for our weekend getaway for two. It was thoughtfully appointed, sweetly decorated, and had so much personality. The coffee, egg & bagel breakfast was so thoughtful. The location was perfect, with many local destinations within walking (or a short Lyft trip) distance. I will absolutely stay here again over my next trip to Austin!"
936141,25772053,2015-01-25,5854687,Noah,"Adrienne was super helpful and gave us lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat, and all of them were amazing! Her place was cosy, homely and looked exactly like the photos. She bought us breakfast which was really nice. If you are expecting luxury this place isn't for you but it's fine for a couple or close friends for a few days. A little overpriced for what it was but we gathered that Austin is expensive on the whole. Adrienne was a great host and we would definitely recommend her place "
936141,26039173,2015-02-01,6794916,Jill,"Adrienne was awesome!  I had reserved another airbnb spot, and 20 minutes before I arrived they canceled my reservations due to a leak.  Adrienne was more than welcoming, and offered suggestions for activites and great food around the area.  It was convenient to downtown, and lots of fun little spots.  Would definitely stay again. "
936141,26277462,2015-02-08,27021680,Tim,"My first review, so pardon if I'm less than thorough.

Adrienne was great! We didn't get a chance to meet up but that wasn't necessary as her text communications were easy, friendly, and gave me a great lay of the land. The place is cozy and cute! And I really lucked out with the neighborhood - I was within walking distance of many of the city's most beloved restaurants and food trucks (Franklin's, Micklethwaite, etc), coffee bars, fancy liquor stores, even a record store. All in all, a really enjoyable stay!"
936141,26695693,2015-02-17,26524608,John,"I absolutely had a wonderful time staying at Adrienne's.  The location was ideal to everything you would want while visiting Austin.  This place was within walking distance to the nightlife/pubs/restaurants, but also tucked back in a quiet neighborhood.  Adrienne was great at answering any questions I had and even followed up half way though my visit to ensure we were having a great stay!  When I come back I will definitely be looking this residence up!  Also, I really appreciated how available Adrienne was - if you have any questions, she is just a text away!"
936141,27362743,2015-03-02,15816127,Bennett,Adrienne was very accommodating and the place was perfect for my girlfriend and I. Super quick walk to East Austin restaurants and bars and a very easy cab ride to downtown and South Congress. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

936141,28099529,2015-03-17,1628923,Jason,"What a wonderfully cozy stay! Adrienne's got an eye for detail and  her place is filled with charm. I loved my moments in her home and felt like it offered an immediate escape, relaxing and quiet with a touch of whimsy. Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable and Adrienne thoughtfully offered some kitchen basics to make my stay all the more at ease."
936141,29332306,2015-04-06,17597812,Miriam,"We loved our stay at Adrienne's. Her place is cozy and clean and gorgeously decorated. It couldn't have been in a more convenient location for us -  on a very quiet street but walking distance to a lot of the action, and across from a bus stop. One of her recommendations for neighborhood food, Micklethwaites, ended up being our favorite spot in Austin. She was very communicative and helpful from the moment we made the reservation."
936141,29676999,2015-04-11,28718608,Samantha,A great spot! We loved the location and were able to walk pretty much everywhere from this location. Adrienne gave some great recommendations for some local spots and was very communicative if we had any questions. We loved her decorative apartment! :) 
936141,29978095,2015-04-15,3356037,Melissa,"Enjoyed our stay at Adrienne's place. She checked up on us to see if we are doing alright, which was nice. Her place was a nice stroll to e. 6th street. Easy to get to downtown, as well as, south congress. Plenty of places to go to. Would stay again. Thanks!"
936141,31059486,2015-05-01,6504195,Matt,I had a really nice time here. It was a convenient walking distance to good bars and food in East Austin.Adrienne was helpful settling in and provided food and coffee to make for breakfast which was great. The place was comfy and the cool quirky decorating made for a pleasant stay. 
936141,32970615,2015-05-24,4983101,Jared,"Adrienne was an awesome host. I found the unit to be really good value, being walking distance to great BBQ (Mickelwaith's, Franklin) & a really tasty taco truck. There's also a small coffee trailer where I had the best coffee I found in the states.
Uber is good for anything further out.
Thanks Adrienne, I'll be back"
962137,3775926,2013-03-13,1758474,Alex,"It was my first time in Austin, and definitely not my last. Whit and Dusty made it that more special by providing a very clean and hospitable Airstream for my stay. The both of them were very accommodating with suggestions to where to eat, hangout, and Whit even offered a ice cold Austin brew. I would stay there again, and would suggest their Airstream to any of my friends.  "

7144120,52808400,2015-11-01,47708588,Lillian,It was a very nice place.  Very comfortable.  Had a wonderful stay.  Only thing that was not a problem but would have been nice to know from the beginning was the fact that there was no cable TV.  Just a little inconvenience.  Had to find somewhere to watch the basketball and football games.  But all in all it was wonderful and will recommend you to my friends and will look forward to staying with you again.
2984602,32125441,2015-05-14,2397200,Allison,"Cynthia, Peach, and Jay's apartment was absolutely perfect! They thought of everything, down to the coffee, creamer, and sugar that was needed after a couple nights out in Austin ;). The entire apartment was immaculate when we arrived, and we were supplied with more than enough towels for our stay. They've thought of every little detail to make your stay enjoyable. I personally LOVED the window in the bedroom - perfect to watch thunderstorms roll in and listen to the rain (since that's all it did on our trip). The location is perfect and so close to so many good restaurants and bars. I HIGHLY recommend staying here. Next time I'm in Austin this is the first place I'm looking to book."
2984602,39850727,2015-07-26,17528093,Jane,The condo was perfect !  It was very comfortable and there were lots of special touches to make us feel at home!

Bryan was very professional & accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we had a great experience. He even came home from work at noon to personally let us in and get us settled. His location is prime if trying to be close to the heart of downtown Austin. It was easy for us to get anywhere we wanted and it was less than a 10 dollar Lyft ride away. I definitely recommend Bryan's place to all those seeking a getaway in this great city!"
8225133,51176581,2015-10-18,45045999,Jake,"Bryan was an amazing host. The apartment was clean, nice, and felt luxurious. He was a great host, and graciously offered us food from the fridge as well. The bed was extremely comfortable too, and while we did not make use of this, there was a TV with cable in the room for us to use as well. There were even laundry machines that were easy access! Getting into downtown Austin can be done quickly with a short uber ride or a bus. We were very happy with our stay would definitely stay there again.   "
8225133,51569373,2015-10-21,10878797,Kevin,Bryan was a great host. Easy to get in contact with. Apartment was located close to everywhere I needed to go. Bryan was kind enough to convince  me that Franklin bbq was worth the wait and it was Amazing!

5422964,28182211,2015-03-19,10814520,Chris,"I booked Clifton's place scrambling to find something near SxSW for the Interactive conference and he was very accommodating.  Upon walking in, we were greeted by a 12 pack of local craft beer and a clean quiet comfy place to stay.  It's two bedrooms were perfect for my coworker and myself, and it proved to be way better than any overpriced hotel room would have been.

This place is in a great neighborhood, a 10 minute bike ride from downtown, and surrounded by great food, coffee, and bars.  I really enjoyed taking breaks from the craziness of South By and hanging out in the neighborhood.  Torchy's Tacos nearby was great for breakfast, Bouldin Creek Cafe for coffee,  and I had a great late night meal nearby at Luke's Inside Out food truck next to Gibson's Bar.

All-around fantastic experience here, a super chill place surrounded by lots of fun things to do.  "

Jessica met us upon arrival and gave us info on the space and on what to do in and around Austin. She is very kind and was flexible about our arrival time.

The grounds have lovely plants, places to sit, and the neighborhood is quiet. We had a great time sitting outside playing with their kitty. 

The location is perfect, close downtown and the airport. And, there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

Gary and Jessica's attention to detail contribute to a space that made us feel spoiled. The bed was super comfy and the big garden tub very inviting. 

Thank you for hosting us! We hope to come back in the future!"
6777032,45009246,2015-08-30,38367919,Linda,"We had a great stay in Austin. 

Jessica seemed to think of every little detail. She had birthday cake for my husband's 50th, complete with candles and a lighter to light them! 

Her continental breakfast was amazing, and more than we could eat in one sitting. 

Jessica was very warm and welcoming when we got there (hours later than planned). We loved the neighborhood! Don't leave without walking down to the taco place at the end of the block. AND the donut shop next door is a must. We walked down to the pizza place for dinner and had the Potato and Goat cheese pizza. Talk about happy mouths! We could have been without a car, there were so many places to eat within walking distance. We went up to Pflugerville to Taste of Ethiopia for birthday dinner... YUM! Earlier, we went into town (5 min drive) for a wine tasting, art galleries, juice places - we had a great Austin experience, and would definitely recommend staying here! 

Thank you so much for your hospitality! We had a fun and memorable stay. Also a quick shout out to the super comfortable bed and sheets. Mmmm. "
6777032,45434124,2015-09-02,6142198,Molly,"We met with Jessica when we arrived at her and Gary's home, and she cordially welcomed us and gave us a tour of the beautiful unit. They have thought of nearly everything, and have generously appointed their new ""suite"" with a very comfy king bed, fluffy towels, a separate shower and bathtub area with two sinks, a K-cup coffee maker, fridge with thoughtful snacks for breakfast, bottled water, etc. Wow -- we were impressed! They've put together a handy binder with all kinds of other helpful info too, including recommended nearby restaurants. Honestly, these hosts go above and beyond, and we were grateful. It's a nice, private retreat!

While there are nearby restaurants, it's important to have your own wheels to get around Austin (we did, but Uber or taxis would work too), but Gary and Jessica's place is by no means very far from downtown. Street parking was free, safe, and easy."
6777032,45644889,2015-09-04,2332790,Stefanie,Jessica and Gary are super nice people and were sensitive to every possible need I could have had during my stay. The suite was lovely and I would happily stay here again!

Jessica was so sweet and walked us through the entire space, left us a little continental breakfast, and talked with us about things to experience while in Austin. The bathroom was definitely my favorite part of the room. The beautifully done European style open shower and huge tub was amazing! The bed was plenty big for me and my mom and it was very comfortable with soft sheets. Honestly couldn't have had a better first experience using Air B n B. When we had a small problem, Jessica was quick to respond to my message and fix the problem. Loved the room so much we didn't want to leave. I missed that beautiful bathroom as soon as I was home. This room is also in a great location in a cute little neighborhood that was a quick drive to downtown. I know that if I or any of my friends or family need a place to stay in Austin we will be staying with Jessica and Gary. "
6777032,46974465,2015-09-14,13856250,April,"Wow! This place was just perfect! My fiancé and I stayed here for my birthday weekend and I couldn't have imagined a better stay.  I have stayed in several locations in Austin before, but this was by far the best. The room is so inviting, private, and CLEAN. The bed was so comfy (especially if you like firm beds). The amazing high ceilings and natural lighting makes you feel as if you're in a movie! The bath tub has great massage settings for a bubble bath. The light breakfast was just perfect. You will not find a bargain like this anywhere in Austin!
Jessica was very easy to communicate with and responded very fast. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you!"

I did not make it there, but I was very difficult for them in trying to find someone to utilize my stay for me. I did not end up finding anyone, and they were still champs about the last minute mix up! Thank you Gary and Jessica! Also, I recommend that people actually make it to their stay, because it looked very inviting. (:"

The room was very clean and full with stuff that made our stay very comfortable. Both of them are very nice and kind people and they wanted us to have the best stay, they even gave us some breakfast for first morning and share with us their bikes, and anything we would need we could ask them and help. The neighborhood was very calm and secure, so we didn't have any problem at all. We would definetly stay with them again and truly recomend their place. We had a great time at Austin. "

The room was set up just as pictured, very clean and spacious. They provided breakfast waiting in the fridge for the next morning and being a coffee lover they also had a Keurig with k-cups and all the coffee fixings, which was a pleasant surprise. 
The bathroom was very spacious bathroom with a rain shower head and jacuzzi tub, which did not disappoint. The king sized bed was very comfortable and there were no issues with noise or any disturbances. 
The location of the Suite spot is about 15 minutes from downtown, 10 minutes from La Barbecue (a highly recommended BBQ food truck), and walking distance to a well-known Taco spot and close to other shopping centers that include stores like Marshall's and Sears within at least 5 minutes. Great location! 
Overall, we were very pleased with the Suite Spot and would stay here again or recommend it to any of our friends when in Austin!"
6777032,52320477,2015-10-28,6383919,Corina,"My mother and I had a wonderful stay at Gary & Jessica's place. The room is spacious, well adorned, well-stocked (shampoo, coffee maker, mini fridge) and private (with it's own entrance & exit) which we loved. Jessica greeted us the first day and walked us through the space, letting us know everything we need to get situated. Very comfortable space in a quiet neighborhood and very close to downtown/action centers of Austin. There's even a delicious taco truck and donut shop on the same block if you prefer to walk instead of drive! So glad we Airbnbed with them for our first time in Austin! "
6777032,52510669,2015-10-30,20308172,Nasim,"This place was perfect for our brief stay in Austin.  The house is nestled in a quaint neighborhood a few miles from downtown, and there are some great food options walking distance from the house. The moment we arrived Jessica greeted us warmly and enthusiastically showed us all of the amenities which we felt were  better than what you would expect in a 4 star hotel!  Loved the bed, beautiful spacious  bathroom, and bedroom ceiling fan that made this room the perfect temperature. We will be sure to stay here on our next Austin visit! "
3041012,28084860,2015-03-17,27706447,Jonathan,The house was very clean and spacious and Mandy was extremely helpful and accommodating. 
3041012,28389395,2015-03-23,10995539,Jake,"Yes, the listing description was accurate. Just note that one of the three bedrooms is a single mattress on the floor, and one of the three bathrooms has a kiddie-height shower. Other than those two issues, the house was nice and clean, and in a great location. Mandy was a pleasure to work with and made it very easy for us to stay there, including facilitating the receipt of packages before we arrived. "
357503,2925902,2012-11-20,3197049,Elicia,"What a beautiful, spacious and comfortable home this is!
We were in town for the F1 race, and David's home was close to great restaurants, downtown action, and easy access to the roads into the COTA track.  We really enjoyed our stay here - and would definitely return."
357503,28118552,2015-03-18,1446861,Ryan,"David was a fantastic host. Even amidst the craziness of SXSW, he was a wonderful host, even welcoming us to Austin with a piñata and cold ones in the fridge. The house was exactly as described, and was a welcomed respite during a busy week. Would recommend to anyone visiting Austin, and will most certainly return in the future. "
357503,50619172,2015-10-13,3027359,Greg,"Very nice stay. The house was bigger than expected with great indoor and outdoor space, which meant we could live without bumping into each other (we were a party of 4 adult men).

We were able to enjoy breakfast every morning on the patio, which was screened in. It also made for a great place to hang out late night.

While there were ample beds, the twin beds truly weren't big enough for adults (at least not guys over 6'). We planned to use the futon as an option for he 4th person, but it wasn't situated in a room with privacy or curtains/shades so it wasn't really usable. So two guys slept great and two other guys drank a lot of coffee.

It would have been nice to know that the TVs in the house were not really setup for group viewing (1 was in the master bed, the other was upstairs and situated across from the futon in more of a game room setup). No big deal, we weren't there to watch TV, but we did have to go out for the Texas football, MLB playoff and early NFL games which was unexpected.

It's about a 1.5 mile walk to Zilker from the house. Easy to do in the AM (30 minute walk), but up a steep hill coming back (which makes it more like a 40 minute walk coming back). The road is closed to traffic there, so you have to do some fancy maneuvering to grab an uber without going to far out of your way. Ubers ran about $5 - $8 depending on the demand.

The surrounding neighborhood was great, and we spent most of our time in it, it definitely felt more local than past stays in Austin around ACL time.

All in all a very nice stay, without any issues - super clean, up to date, everything worked, plenty of towels, soap, etc. thanks for hosting us!"
4105042,20849322,2014-10-06,8605634,Jason,Everything was great! Clean and nice place. The left us snacks too! Would recommend. 
4105042,21228878,2014-10-13,2402045,Rahul,"Great experience. We stayed at the apartment for the second weekend of ACL. Zilker Park was within a very easy 15 minute walk. Patrick and Kristy were extremely helpful during our entire stay. They even left us some pastries and some beer for our weekend. Unit does have a washer and dryer in the garage. There is only 1 bathroom for the apartment. Overall, very good experience and would happily use them again."
4105042,28122454,2015-03-18,25185175,Kim,"Patrick & Kristina's place is AWESOME. my co-workers and I stayed there during SXSW and could not have been more at home. Their house is straight out of Pinterest. Everything about them is kind, sweet, and generous, and we wish we could stay there forever. This is the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. My co-workers felt the same. If you have a chance to stay here, it's an absolute must!!!"
4105042,28743792,2015-03-29,2687438,Diana,"My stay at Sweet Zilker cannot be more enjoyable. Patrick and Kristy are so warm and hospitable, even though we never met! We were greeted by a welcome note, box of chocolate, Austin beer and prosecco! The place is cute and clean. Best of all, it is located in a hip South Austin neighborhood, close to everything. Thank you, Patrick and Kristy. :)"
4105042,49587889,2015-10-05,1591906,Eric,Everything was great! Patrick is very good at communicating and the description was accurate. Nice touch by leaving us some beer in the fridge. Close to the park too which is nice. 
4105042,50423823,2015-10-12,21287952,C,"Cozy, Comfortable Cool

We really enjoyed our stay; the house felt like home as if we were staying at the home of friends.  Everything was as described and as the pictures showed.  Loved the stylish mid-century furniture too – so cool!  

The house had everything we needed -- 2 good sized bedrooms and a clean modern kitchen with all the utensils and equipment necessary to prep a few light meals. They provided coffee and allowed us to partake of any food in the house and even left us a Welcome-to-TX 6-pack of locally made beer.  

The location was close to everything we needed (and close enough to the park where the ACL festival was held) with lots to do right up the street. We had a car but probably could have walked to the park, which was only about a mile away. We didn’t have any problems with noise from the festival but could hear it faintly at times if we were outside. 

The hosts, Patrick & Kristy, responded quickly to any questions we had during our stay and made themselves available via phone or text in case we needed any help/recommendations/etc.  We were fortunate enough to get to meet Patrick & Kristy as we waited for our ride after checkout and found them to be as charming and sweet as their home was. 

Five star recommendation all the way! We would stay again in a heartbeat!"
2823728,13090407,2014-05-19,11340399,Laura,"Justin was a great host, very welcoming, relaxed and easy going. We got in fairly late which he was cool with and stayed one night. He gave us an absolutely fantastic recommendation for steak nearby (Austin Land and Cattle - I'm still dreaming about it), invited us out for a couple of drinks that night, and help us plan our next day.

The place was great; cute, comfortable and in a good location (walking distance to 6th). It's probably best for a couple visiting Austin or two friends who don't mind sharing a bed. Would definitely recommend and stay again!"
2823728,13711030,2014-06-02,10314221,Brendan,"The experience I had at Justin's condo was outstanding. Everything that Justin lists in the condo description is 100% accurate. What separated the visit from a hotel stay was the amount of information Justin conveniently provided on just about anything I was thinking about doing in Austin. As the other reviewer and Justin have mentioned, I highly suggest going to Austin Land and Cattle right up the street from his condo. The meal was relatively expensive ($$$$), but well worth every penny. There are also two other dynamite restaurants nearby ($$), and two gas stations to fulfill any convenience-store type of needs. The condo itself was in excellent condition with regard to its cleanliness and utilities working properly. It was also well decorated to give the space a great flow. The room stayed nice and cool, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, and Justin gave me three towels and a washcloth. As Justin mentions in his description he was happy to interact with me, but we also needed to separate at times to fulfill commitments. He gave me a spare key so that I could come and go as I pleased. He was very courteous about trying to not make a lot of noise while I was asleep. This was my first Airbnb experience. I was pretty nervous at first, but everything turned out great. "
2823728,14860324,2014-06-28,14613499,Shawn,Everything was just as Justin described. Justin kept everything clean and was very accommodating with my coming/going.
2823728,15287272,2014-07-06,17299317,Rob,"Justin was a wonderful host.  We contacted him a day before arrival stating that we may find ourselves in Austin a little earlier than expected and that we would just roam the city up until the 2PM check-in time, but he suggested that we meet him at his work whenever we got in for the key to make it easier on us!

Once we met him for the key, we made our way to the condo and when we walked in, it was exactly how we saw it in the pictures.  The ambience of the place was extremely comfortable and it was such a great size!

Our room was ready for us upstairs with two large towels.  The best feature of the room was access to the patio with furniture.  It was nice to sit outside (it is shaded very well) and enjoy the weather.  Also, the road is very quiet and peaceful.  I don't recall hearing one car pass by the entire time we were there.  It was hard to believe that we were only 5 blocks or so from 6th street! 

Justin catered to our plans one night by suggesting an entire list of places that we may enjoy based off of a few hints of what we like to do/places that we frequent.  We drew us a very thorough map that couldn't have been more accurate.  White Horse and The Volstead were wonderful suggestions by him!

We highly suggest Justin as a host to anyone looking for a place to stay in downtown Austin!"
2823728,15323955,2014-07-07,14373766,Christina,"Justin was an amazing host who has extensive knowledge on Austin and the nightlife scene. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the condo was within walking distance to all the restaurants and bars in downtown. Justin was very communicative and accommodating - he even drove me to my next destination after I checked out so that I wouldn't have to walk around with all my luggage. I highly recommend staying with Justin in Austin! You'll have a great time."
2823728,16019569,2014-07-20,1965048,Rob,"Justin was a great host, really made me feel at home. His place was a fantastic place to stay - nice and comfortable, and walking (or riding) distance to all the sights of Austin."
2823728,16214979,2014-07-23,13542671,Lucia,"Staying at Justin's place exceeded all expectations! We absolutely loved our stay. The apartment itself was lovely, modern,clean and spacious. The air con was heavenly and the general vibe of the place was great. Justin was the perfect host, he was very knowledgeable regarding sight seeing in Austin, he also took us to some wonderful places for dinner and general entertainment. He was warm and welcoming which was just what we needed! Next time I'm in Austin I will definitely 100% stay with Justin!! He really is the perfect host... Should also mention the apartment was in a wonderful area within walking distance to many attractions. "
2823728,16514577,2014-07-28,1442960,Antoine,"Justin's accommodation is perfect if you are looking to explore Austin but want to stay close to where the coolness is at. The little room has access to the patio upstairs, that's a plus. Justin was alway prompt and recommended me some delicious local eateries."
2823728,18638396,2014-08-29,18069846,Renee,Justin was super quick in responding to the reservation request (less than 10 minutes - must be some kind of record). Place was really nice with a tricked out kitchen. He gave great recommendations for bars/restaurants to checkout downtown. He's super chill and super clean - awesome host.
2823728,19491614,2014-09-13,2330575,Jessie,"Justin's place looks just like the pics, spacious and clean. On the first night, we grabbed dinner together and he gave me some great tips for local places to visit in Austin. I think the highlight of his place is the shower It has these cool pebbles on the ground that make you feel like you are getting a foot massage. Thanks Justin."
2823728,19746087,2014-09-17,9851902,Chelsea,"Everything about this stay was great!

Positives:
+Location - I had my car and rarely used it because everything was so close and the neighborhood feels very safe.
+The House Itself - Clean, decorated well, quiet even though so close to everything, all the typical and great kitchen appliances and supplies.
+Justin - A genuinely just great person who will give you any recommendations, invite you out with him and his friends, or leave you be if that's what your into.

No negatives whatsoever.

I wish he hadn't rented it out for ACL already because it is ideal for any of the many large festivals and events that are hosted in Austin!"
2823728,19873314,2014-09-20,4340219,Julie,Justin was a great host.  He was very helpful and the home was comfortable.  I would definitely recommend Justin as a host and his condo stay to anyone visiting Austin.  
2823728,20815843,2014-10-06,10053004,Robert,"My stay with Justin was excellent. He was a wonderful and accommodating host and my room and the unit were beautiful, clean and well appointed as promised. It was well located in Austin and I walked everywhere I needed and wanted to go. All in all an A+ experience. "
2823728,21053709,2014-10-10,21913874,Paul,"A+  Clean, quiet, comfy, well appointed condo.  Great location, within walking distance to everything. Justin was a fabulous host!  Well versed on all things Austin. Loved the shower, dual rain head with pebbled floor.  If this condo is available BOOK IT!!"
2823728,21652827,2014-10-21,3212696,Scott,"Justin was a very nice, easygoing guy who was very helpful in talking about Austin and places to check out. He was happy to answer any of our questions and usually very quick to respond too.  I loved his condo - updated and clean, with a great bathroom, porch, and kitchen. The location is in a quieter part of downtown, which I actually really liked; peaceful place to relax and rest, but the more vibrant part of the neighborhood was only a 10 minute walk away. Overall I had a great experience and I'd happily stay here again the next time I'm in Austin."
2823728,21777936,2014-10-24,428208,Atif,"I'd recommend staying at Justin's place during your stay in Austin. It's conveniently located and he's a nice guy. We had a simple, clean room that was perfect for us since we really just needed a place to crash. Justin also gave us some recommendations of places to go and things to see- always nice to get recs from a local. An overall good experience. "
2823728,21885280,2014-10-26,15357909,Ariel,"Justin was a wonderful host. He really went out of his way to make my stay pleasant. His condo was clean and cheerful.

I was keeping irregular hours due to red eye travel, but he made sure I had all the quiet and privacy I needed to sleep during the day. Ever so much better than a hotel. Would definitely stay here again."
2823728,22290499,2014-11-03,15606754,Steve,"I enjoyed my stay at Justin's condo. The location was perfect for me with it being a short & safe walk from the downtown area. Justin was there to meet me when I arrived to show me around. I spent most of my time out of the house but the facilities were more than adequate for my requirements.
I would recommend this property for a short weekend stay."
2823728,22518878,2014-11-09,18113512,Amanda,"Justin was a great host. His apartment was welcoming and clean. He also was very welcoming, emailing to ask if we needed anything, suggestions of what to do etc. Also Justin was extremely friendly when we met in person. I felt comfortable staying at his home."
2217263,28122448,2015-03-18,1351548,Andrea,"The 'classic cabin' was fantastic for our 4 person group. The house is warm and cozy and the bathroom is stunning! If you want that 'cottage feel', this is the place for you. Fresh eggs from the chickens in the backyard was a nice treat too! Colin is a great host and made us feel very welcome in his home. The house is in a great part of town, walking distance to amazing restaurants and bars. "
957541,28158658,2015-03-19,3470818,Dara,"Sean's house was great--a sweet, clean place right in the middle of one of Austin's most fun neighborhoods. The photos don't do it justice. Thanks Sean for the stay!"
4090736,20873673,2014-10-06,11609335,Harrison,"Aaron and Laura's apartment was pretty perfect.  Two of my friends and I stayed here while going to ACL Festival.  The apartment was perfectly situated between Zilker Park (where the festival was) and downtown.  The place slept three comfortably and could easily handle another person or two.  Also, apartment was nice and clean and in a nice building.   As Aaron and Laura disclosed to us, there is a train and a construction sight across the street, but neither was too big of an issue for us.  Cable tv reception was also poor but also not a big deal for our purposes.  Otherwise, no complaints at all, and Aaron and Laura were very flexible in terms of arrival/departure and great hosts all the way around. "
4090736,21231789,2014-10-13,4519625,Gabriel,"Doesn't get better than Aaron and Laura! Their apartment as well! 

We were group of 4 coming in town for the ACL festival, so the location was perfect. Close walk, neighbors a whole foods, and very close to 6th street bars. 

Their apartment was filled with fun books, games, playing cards and other goodies to play around the living room table. We also tapped into their music collection on their TV. Had playlists for every mood!! If you'd prefer you're own music, they had an auxiliary cord to plug your iPod or computer into as well. 

From the get go, they both were very helpful and informative of their apartment and the location. It's right off some train tracks, so they let us know that before booking. The train came by ever other hour or so, but didn't bother us. For those sensitive sleepers they very kindly left a back of ear plugs.  

Would definitely come back there next time I'm in Austin!"
4090736,23627283,2014-12-07,20987330,Bill,"Great place and the location was as described.  Aaron and Laura had everything ready when we arrived...including a bottle of wine.  As Aaron had told me, the train goes right by the unit and is on a curve, so the screeching of the wheels is very loud.  I took ear plugs and didn't have a problem.  Host even provided additional ear plugs. But my wife and her parents didn't use them because they don't like ear plugs...so they weren't as comfortable.  Other than the train noise the location was great.  Easy access to 5th and 6th streets, downtown and Town Lake running/walking/biking trail.  This will even be better once construction is completed in the area, particularly on Shoal Creek trail to Town Lake, but not a big deal.  I would easily give it a 5+ rating if it weren't for the train noise."
4090736,26601844,2015-02-16,16102206,Arianna,My friends and I had a great time at this apartment! It's perfectly located in the West 6th area and very close to Starbucks and Whole Foods. It was wonderful to stay in a roomie apartment with modern amenities. Aaron was easy to communicate with and made our stay seem less and comfortable. The apartment was the perfect fit for 3 people. The only downside was being so close to the loud construction but our hosts provided us with ear plugs which was a nice touch! I would highly recommend this apartment for anyone visiting Austin!! 
4090736,28070388,2015-03-17,4225200,Molly,Lovely spot and perfect for sxsw! Had a great time.

4441722,25292447,2015-01-11,490442,Quinn,"This is a great place to stay for a trip to Austin. Charm's suite is artistically decorated, and is convenient with a separate entrance and its own kitchen. Check-in and out were very easy."
4441722,31399602,2015-05-04,32006381,Ben,Perfect location! Very clean and comfortable! The host and family were very friendly! Peaceful! We Highly recommend this and will definitely rent again!

The house is much better than the pictures show, the interior design is tasteful and original.
Charm herself is a great host and you'll fill very comfy at her place: she's very helpful and ready to provide any information you could ask for.
A great host and a great place! I definitely recommand both :)!"
4441722,36145785,2015-06-25,13501132,Heather,"Charm was an amazing host and her place was fabulous! I live in Austin, and when the closing date on my house got pushed back last minute, Charm was super flexible in managing my moving target of a close date. In a really stressful situation, she made it less so by being easy to communicate with. Her place is adorable and my dog Nala and I were very comfortable . It is located in an excellent neighborhood, close to great restaurants, and easy to get pretty much anywhere in Austin. I highly recommend staying here! "
4441722,39249355,2015-07-21,12213926,Katie,"Pretty apartment, as pictured! Great location, and accommodating host. Thanks Charm!!"

4441722,48816160,2015-09-28,31915511,Rebecca,"Charm was extremely welcoming and her place was in a great location. It was walking distance from South Congress, had everything we needed, and she even provided a hair dryer upon request. I would absolutely recommend staying at her place - gracious host, lovely room, and good location!"
4441722,51356897,2015-10-19,11580654,Leah,"Charm's 1-Brm was a great choice for us!  I was a little concerned by the pictures that it might be too small and a little plain, but it was totally adorable!  Charm has decorated the place in such a cute way, with lots of unique touches that we kept noticing throughout or trip.

The apartment is attached to Charm's house, but felt surprising private for the proximity.  It was quiet and cool, even without use of the AC.

The walk to South Congress was a little over 10 minutes, but we enjoyed it.  Big Stacy pool is just down the street, which we didn't visit but probably would have planned on had we known.  Starbucks is within walking distance and we noticed a grocery store and CVS nearby.

Charm was quick with communication, including when we contacted her with our mistaken belief that we did not have hot water.  She addressed the situation right away (ummm, it turned out we were turning the handle the wrong way - embarrassing!) and when she stopped by to make sure we were all good offered great recommendations for dinner and tips for our visit.  

I would definitely recommend Charm's listing if you are looking for privacy, style, and proximity to south congress st."
363079,1209156,2012-05-01,657843,Andi,"A group of 6 friends and I rented this house for a local Austin music festival.  With 6 people (2 couples, 2 singles) everyone not only had their own bedroom (with one bedroom to spare) but everyone had their own bathroom as well.  We loved that house!  Brand new kitchen, great art, super spacious and had a great pool/BBQ area.  15 minutes walk to South Congress, a cool shopping street.
We were all fantasizing about living in that house forever, we didn't want to leave!  Thanks to our fabulous hosts!  We had the best time! "
363079,3186005,2012-12-30,3958307,Katie,Perfect  house for our family!  We loved our time at the house.  Great location and clean house.  Courtney was very responsive and helpful during our stay.  
363079,3231778,2013-01-02,2695525,Avni,"This house is huge. Within the first 5 minutes, I got lost twice. We were 8 people and still had beds to spare. Its obvious that Courtney has really put in alot of effort in keeping the house looking amazing, expecially the kitchen and dinning area which were very welcoming. Courtney was very responsive and I would stay here again if I had a large group (8 to 10 people)."

Courtney, the host is very responsive! "

363079,11736323,2014-04-14,11225189,Tuti,"This house was perfect for our stay. Very clean and spacious, and the kitchen was loaded with all the essentials. The four full bathrooms was a great perk considering I was staying with 8 girls! The only downside was the pool not being cleaned and ready upon arrival since that was one of the main reasons for renting the house. It wasn't until half our stay was over that someone was sent to clean it. And it wasn't just a few leaves or a small amount of dirt. It took the pool guy almost an hour to clean. After it was cleaned though, it was very nice. Besides that, the house was awesome."
363079,12183551,2014-04-25,845307,Valerie,"We had a really nice stay here. We were a group of six co-workers, all ladies, that needed space for strategy planning and team building. It really worked out perfectly and for the price we couldn't have had anything nearly as flexible at a hotel. Everyone had their own bedroom and most of us had our own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped and the outside area was fabulous - in fact we invited a few other local coworkers over for dinner one night and it was great. I would definitely like to have my team here again next year. "
363079,16883662,2014-08-04,12782036,Md_(email hidden),"We had a girls weekend in Austin for a friend's birthday. This was the perfect house. Lots of space and plenty of bedrooms. Courtney was even nice enough to check-in a little early and check-out a little late. She was very accommodating to our flight schedules. The house was clean. The essentials were provided: bath towels, beach towels, hand soap, etc. The kitchen also had all the necessities: pots, pans, spices, utensils, glasses, etc. we cooked breakfast in the morning so it was very convenient. Also, there is a large table-- so we could all sit together.

The pool was the perfect addition. Don't forget your bug spray. We were out at the fenced/private pool ALL afternoon (in August), and definitely attracted some bugs. The pool area was clean. There wasn't a lot of space around the pool, but there was a whole other section to the backyard so we continued our fun in that area. 

The neighborhood was very nice. It was quiet. We found out the ""neighbors"" next door were also renting for the weekend. You could walk to things if you needed to-- things were about 1 mile away. A short taxi cab got you to downtown and SoCo. 

Overall, excellent stay. Perfect for what we needed. House is great! Updated kitchen and nice size bedrooms. Also, there is a driveway area if you bring a car and want it off the street. 

Lastly, she didn't make you do a lot of ""cleaning"" when you left. Take out the trash and put dishes in the dishwasher. Simple! Less stress and no worry when you leave.

Very memorable weekend! "
363079,18338048,2014-08-25,13229099,Katie,"She made us feel very welcome and the house couldn't have been more accommodating and cozy. The neighborhood was very quiet and homey as well. The little touches of the house were very appreciated, especially a fresh lit candle upon our welcome."
363079,20336130,2014-09-28,18018576,Elaine,"Courtney was wonderful.  She arrived early and was very welcoming.
She took the time to explain all the details of her .

The neighborhood was lovely and convenient to downtown Austin."
363079,23741066,2014-12-09,18020135,Steven,"When we arrived, the lights were on and the shades were up making us feel very welcomed. The listing was accurate. The neighborhood was nice and very quiet. "
363079,25547553,2015-01-19,24377324,Anna,"Courtney is absolutely wonderful; super responsive and accommodating. This place is HUGE. Perfect spot for our reunion weekend of 4 couples from business school. The location is great for getting to all the fun spots in Austin- 6th street, South Congress, Rainey Street, and the paths along the river. We got everywhere we wanted to go very quickly and conveniently! "
363079,27122983,2015-02-26,20564369,Cheryl,The house was outstanding.  It easily accommodated our business group.  It was comfortable and relaxing.  The kitchen was very modern and well-equipped.  The price was a value compared to the cost of hotel rooms.  Excellent location near downtown and other attractions.  Would definitely stay there again.  
363079,35643220,2015-06-21,29373148,Lindsley,"Courtney was not able to meet us because we arrived a little early, but the house was easy to get in and the instructions were on the table. 
We loved the location and it comfortably housed 11 of us and the children loved the
Pool.
It was much better than staying in a hotel!! We would rent again.
"
363079,43939192,2015-08-23,15228532,Heidi,"Host was very quick to respond, never had any issues getting in touch with her. The house is just as pictured. All in all, great rental & great location. We enjoyed our stay here very much."
363079,44928353,2015-08-30,38193872,Aashish,"I'll start by saying that my friends showed up to the unit in advance of the check-in time, so there may have been things the owner wanted to check out before we got there, but did not get a chance to because we were there. I think she was surprised we were already there and that's likely our fault.

While the host was very receptive to issues we ran into, after a few issues, I basically stopped raising issues.

That said, we ran into many issues, most of them revolving around the bathrooms their cleanliness, hot water and water pressure, which got frustrating when we have 10 people trying to get ready multiple times a day. There are 4 bathrooms:
3rd floor: The faucet didn't seem to work when we got there and only dripped cold water. While the owner fixed the faucet with a plumber, the shower ended up having the same problems
2nd floor: Green bathroom had toilet seat that was cracking and had splinters, the shower had good water pressure, but the curtains and shower head were pretty dirty. 
Pink bathroom had really poor water pressure and 2 doors, neither of which lock, one of which takes trickery as the knob is somewhat broken. There are also 6 knobs in the shower and until the owner explained what some of them do, it was kind of a crapshoot as to what happens (one of them clogs the tub). This is similar to the 3rd floor bathroom.

Basement: bathroom was okay condition, but again, could use cleaning.

The group essentially used 2 bathrooms of the 4 for majority of the trip.

Many of the bedroom/bathroom doors do not lock (not great for a big group like ours).

All that said, I think the trip was awesome because of this house. 
Another big concern we had was the number of bedrooms and in that regard this house was perfect for our group of 10, which included singles and couples. The living area and kitchen were awesome and perfect. The kitchen had plenty of glasses, utensils, dishes, new fridge, dishwasher, coffeemaker, stove, etc. 

The pool was big enough to accommodate, it could definitely use some cleaning since there are tree branches that go over the pool tend to drop leaves in there and there a area behind the pool that has some lawn chairs in rough shape. 

The area is quiet, suburban. Not much to do w/o a car, but close enough to downtown to uber it for $10. Location was just what we wanted along with the size of it."
363079,45918162,2015-09-06,959446,Brady,The host canceled this reservation 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5428920,35188450,2015-06-15,25176132,Kelly,"The bed is SO comfortable. Brad was very nice and welcoming and there was a secret dog bed in the closet that was adorable. The house has been beautifully renovated. Everything was clean, and the toiletries in the bathroom were a nice touch, especially since I forgot mine. Will definitely stay again soon."
5428920,37108039,2015-07-04,34009325,Terri,Our experience was our first with airbnb and we are grateful to have had such a great hoast.  Brad offered so much more than we expected.    From airport pick up to picking up our excursion tickets.   We especially enjoyed our conversations with Brad as well as his knowledge of places to go.  Rocky his dog is friendly and the bed was comfortable.   We would definitely go back and recommend this as a great place with airbnb.
5428920,38969662,2015-07-19,6078644,Adam,"I'm not really sure where to start - everything about Brad's place makes us want to head back to visit him if we ever return to Austin...

The immaculate house that he has renovated himself; his extremely generous offers to give us a lift whenever we were going somewhere; the Austin info pack that he has put together - perfect for first-time visitors to the city; and last but not least, his company, all made our short stay an awesome experience.

The location is also great - roughly a 10-minute walk to the bars and cafes of East 6th Street, not to mention Micklethwait BBQ (10 mins) and the breakfast taco truck just around the corner.

All in all, we highly recommend staying with Brad if you are in Austin!"
5428920,40822166,2015-08-02,580674,Alice,"Brad is a great host.  He is very easy going and happy to introduce you to Austin’s charms, whether it’s craft beer or the newest food truck.  His beautifully renovated bungalow in a revitalized part of East Austin (minutes to downtown) looks just like in the photos.  Be sure to ask him about the hardwood floors.  The guest bedroom has a medium-firm queen bed, closet space for your clothes, a footlocker to put things on, block-out drapes, and I liked that it had its own “en suite” full bath.  Wi Fi was dependable.  I had freshly brewed coffee every morning in the kitchen area, and also hung out at Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors and Mary Lu’s for breakfast tacos, in the neighborhood, just steps away.  I stayed for an extended period of time at Brad’s place.  It was perfect for my needs, as Brad was super accommodating and did several huge favors for me.  I have already made sure book my return visit.  [Review by Scott, my husband, who stayed 12 days.] "
5428920,41041330,2015-08-03,13917921,Robert D.,"Brad was very accommodating and helpful. His place is fantastic and completely unique. 

In a good location as well...close to one of the best bars in Austin. 

Brad also has a wealth of knowledge about the city and can give you a recommendation for just about anything. "
5428920,41874911,2015-08-09,38281900,Ivan,"Brad's house was absolutely perfect,  it was cozy, very clean and in a good location. The bed was very comfortable and the private bathroom was very nice! Brad can be very discreet and friendly at the same time, he helped us for our lost baggage and gave us nice tips to visit Austin. Brad and Rocky the dog are just friends you haven't met yet! Five stars and thumbs up!!!"
5428920,42228538,2015-08-11,40743347,Maria,"This was my first experience with airbnb and it was great. There were guests staying at Brad's the night before and Brad kept contact with us making sure  the room would be ready when we were to check in. He had a lot of information about area restaurants as well as the best ways to get around. He made sure we had everything we needed and the toiletries in the bathroom were nice since we forgot our shampoo. Had we known it would be ok, we probably would have brought our dog along as well. "
5428920,43371520,2015-08-19,35800948,Isaac,"I could not have hoped for a better experience for my first Airbnb stay. Brad did a great job communicating with us leading up until our stay and made the whole process go smoothly. The home is only a short drive to the middle of downtown Austin. When we arrived we were welcomed to a home complete with a small porch and rocking chair out front. Inside, the home was clean and neat and definitely had the ""Austin"" vibe to it. Brad left us a welcome packet on the nightstand that included things to see and do while in Austin, which was a nice touch and definitely appreciated. There was a closet with room to hang your own clothing and a place to put luggage and shoes. The bathroom was spacious and very clean, and had updated fixtures and vanity. There were all the amenities you would hope for in a home away from home - shampoo, conditioner, soap, and even unexpected extras like a blow dryer and sunblock. We plan to keep this place in mind for our future trips to Austin  and wouldn't hesitate to stay again!! Thank You Brad, and take care bud!!"
5428920,45315661,2015-09-01,40717763,Connie,"Absolutely wonderful! Brad was so hospitable and nothing could've gone better. Rocky is the sweetest companion as well. Centrally located in East Austin, we were able to walk to many areas in less than 30 minutes/(3-10 min car rides) including E. 6th. His guide was SO helpful which included many of his go to restaurants/bars etc, wifi PS etc. There were toiletries and towels if needed. The bed was a dream and the memorabilia in the room topped it off! We were originally planning to come early and he was super accommodating about us dropping off our belongings with another guest there. Also, a sweet note was left out for us about being able to sleep in-super flexible!  I 100% recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in Austin. Thanks again for the perfect stay!"
5428920,45513292,2015-09-03,3715182,Randy,"Brad's home is beautiful and comfortable, and he went out of his way to make my stay perfect.  The bed was amazingly comfortable, and the attached bathroom clean as a whistle.  He's a great guy, and if you need a place to stay in Austin, I recommend his house."
5428920,46173463,2015-09-08,28323173,Ariel,"The house is very beautiful and clean, it got everything we need and we love it!
The location of his place is perfect!
Brad is a very nice guy who drove us to sixth street and tell us where to go, we had a great chat with Brad!
We will definitely recommend his place!"
5428920,48737274,2015-09-28,4898239,Cheryl,"Brad is very easy to share living space with. His abode is quite comfortable, tastefully decorated and clean as well as conveniently located.  And his dog is well mannered and gentle. We highly recomnend!"
5428920,49630467,2015-10-05,13794211,Danielle,Brad was a perfect host.  The location of his house is perfect for exploring Austin.  Listing is very accurate.  Brad went the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and well acquainted with the new city.  
5428920,50082836,2015-10-09,41414835,Steve,"Brad was a very welcoming host. He even picked me up and dropped me off at the airport.  The room is small but nicely appointed, and with the private bath, I had plenty of privacy."
5428920,50511146,2015-10-12,22132685,Alicia,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Brad's house during weekend 2 of ACL. We arrived late Thursday night and left Sunday late morning. Brad was out of town during our stay but he communicated with me daily which made it feel like he was there in person. 

We enjoyed our stay very much even though we spent most of our time away from the house. The house is quite cozy with cool vintage decorations. The neighborhood was quiet so no issues with sleeping at night. I would highly recommend staying here if you need a place to stay."
5428920,52179807,2015-10-26,17705663,Margaret,"Well, we really loved Brad most of all, even though we never met him, as he was away on business during our whole stay.  Brad had a lovely, interesting, revealing, tasteful, and extremely clean home.  It was in an area that is ""gentrifying,"" but was close to everything we wanted.  Brad is a thoughtful host, leaving dark chocolates, providing an extremely comfortable bed, pre-thinking almost everything a guest would need.  He was very communicative, answering our texts and emails in a very timely manner.  We know we would like Brad, and his dog, and hope to meet them when we stay with him again in Austin.  He also seems to have a Type B, laid back manner, coupled with a high level of organization.   Brad was the perfect host, and his home the perfect ""home away from home,"" from our perspective."
5428920,53055331,2015-11-04,21760206,Andy,"Brad went out of his way to make sure I was welcome not only into his home but also to Austin, giving me great tips on places to visit and things to see. The accomodation was excellent, the pictures are accurate yet the experience even better - neat, tidy, quiet and very easy to explore Austin from. The bed was very comfortable, the shower hot, and Rocky the Dog entertaining.  
The location is good as a base. I didn't have a car but had no problem walking to anything I was interested in seeing. This was a great AirBnB experience."
763084,10879778,2014-03-11,11329498,Amber,"This house was perfect for my company's stay during SXSW. We were welcomed by a box of goodies, fresh flowers in each room, and a clean immaculate home. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were plenty of bathrooms and towels. We even were able to do a quick load of laundry which was convenient. There's plenty of space with several different sitting rooms and a huge backyard for relaxing and BBQ'ing. The house was a 5 min drive to downtown which was so convenient for driving back and forth and cheap cab rides. Mary K was very responsive and willing to accommodate special requests. She was really amazing! Thank you for a great stay!"
5537904,49587373,2015-10-05,32279677,Amanda,Greg was an exceptional host. He was very easy to get in contact with and the property was just as described. It was a fantastic location to walk to and from the ACL festival (Zilker Park) and the entire neighborhood felt safe and cozy. I definitely recommend his house for your next stay in Austin! 
5537904,50613862,2015-10-13,10053004,Robert,For us the attraction was location location location. The place was close enough to Zilker Park that we could walk to ACL. Greg was accommodating in addressing some of our kitchen concerns when we first arrived and we had a satisfactory stay. 
528338,1495108,2012-06-16,558974,Ross,"Amber's place is a great little spot close to everything in Austin, downtown & the SoCo district are only a few minutes away and it's walking distance to Barton Springs pool which was great to relax at. Everything was clean & organized and the place is in a nice quiet neighborhood. It was great hotel alternative and we enjoyed our stay!"
528338,1525876,2012-06-20,924311,Julie,"The ""Suite Spot"" is wonderful!  It would be worth staying just for the location, but Amber and John have outdone themselves! The place is small but cozy, and designed with comfort in mind. We had a great stay, and Amber worked with us when we had a surprise guest (two if you count the dog). Since this was my first time doing the airbnb thing, I was a little nervous but Amber kept in touch just enough. I highly recommend staying here!

I look forward to staying in the Suite Spot again soon!"

We received great tips from our host about places to eat, drink, swim and walk. We as guests felt extremely welcome and whenever we needed something we could ask without feeling intrusive. Really REALLY nice hosts! The room was clean and fully equipped and we couldn't wish for anything else. Thank you Amber!"

The apartment has everything you can ask for: comfortable bed, tv, heating/air, and a even a full kitchen. It was definitely hard to leave this spot and I will 100% stay here the next time I'm in Austin."

Thanks for being flexible (we checked in really late and checked out a bit late). We're sure to hit this spot up again the next time we're coming through Austin!"
528338,2723143,2012-10-26,3736374,Laura,"The Suite Spot was great. Amber made ""check in"" easy, there were instructions for wifi and other details, and she made herself available for questions. 

The location was amazing. Great neighborhood within walking distance of the river with plenty of restaurants nearby. 

And the suite itself was just lovely--I looked forward to returning there each day. Comfy bed, mini-fridge, loved having my own entrance. 

I would definitely stay here again!"
528338,2757187,2012-10-29,3974989,Joseph,"Amber and Jon exceeded our expectations.  It was a fantastic deal!  We could not have imagined a more hospitable or welcoming environment. The apartment was clean, comfortable and in a great location.   Amber directed us to some cool bars, a delicious Thai food restaurant, and to a joint that served some of the best ice cream we have ever had.  Great local advice, and overall a wonderful time--would definitely go back...if the space is available."
528338,2845045,2012-11-09,3463093,David And Susan,Suite Spot is clean and comfortable and well-located for walk-to restaurants and easy driving access to downtown Austin.  We enjoyed the privacy it afforded and the opportunity to stay in a real Austin neighborhood.  Sue and Dave
528338,2861152,2012-11-12,3131353,Frank,"Nice little place. Had small fridge and sink, with little table.  Less than $10 (tip included) cab ride to downtown.  Lots of places to eat within walking distance.  Great spot for the price."
528338,2891528,2012-11-15,268730,Nerissa,"My stay at the Suite spot was brief but great. I was able to check in with no problem, the place had everything I needed and was clean and cozy. I really enjoyed having a nice bath to soak in during the cold weather. The spot is within walking distance of a great area of Austin. At the bottom of the hill you have a juice bar, Austin City Java and a Chuys. It's also a short walk to Barton Springs which is awesome. The only thing I would mention is that the bed is extremely soft, which is probably great for most people, but it was a little too soft for me. Other than that the place was a 10. I definitely recommend it."
528338,2933904,2012-11-21,2601041,Diane,"Excellent location for getting to various locations. Just a short drive to all the different locations we wanted to go to, which made a great home base if we needed to return during the day for any reason.

The accomadations were perferct, everything we needed, or could need, was there. I slept wonderfully and was fast asleep every night when my head hit the pillow.

The businesses in walking distance were great, we especially enjoyed:
Flipnotes Cafe, Green Mesquite BBQ and, Thom's Market (everything you need fro grocerys, beer, wine, and special needs). Our schedule prevented us from visiting FlipHappy Crepes...so next time it's on the top of our list.

Thank you Amber and John.....we will be back!"
528338,2990354,2012-11-29,3367282,Jimmy,Great location! Amber lent me a bike and I rode around town lake. The house is close to everything and has all the amenities.
528338,3023819,2012-12-04,373959,Caroline,We were in Austin for a Tango Festival and we stayed with Amber and John. We could not possibly be more comfortable nor better taken care of. It was a pleasure and we had a blast... Thank you Amber and John and we WILL be back next year!
528338,3055935,2012-12-11,1566670,Julie,Fantastic host!  Very accomodating.  Suite is exactly as described.
528338,3343281,2013-01-14,1118184,Marlee,The location is great!! We were able to walk to many restaurants.  The space was very clean.
528338,3429350,2013-01-28,948402,Sam,Amber and John are excellet hosts and have put together a nice little place.  The location is very convenient.  Thanks A&J!
528338,3497506,2013-02-08,983722,Mark And Ashley,"This is an amazing location and is priced right.  I walked to Chuy's, Shady Grove (try the Tamale Cakes as an appetizer!), the Juice Stop (they can blend anything you can think of), and ran right out the door for a jog through Zilker Park and along Lady Bird lake.  My only issue was trying to fit on the full size bed, but I'm a big guy and used to a King bed.  Communication was great and ease of transaction was top notch.  Thanks for opening your home!"
528338,3528422,2013-02-12,1307603,Angelica,"This place is such a convenient location to be able to walk to several coffee bars, restaurants, and my favorite, the juice shop. They also offer you their washer and dryer if you need it. The price is so affordable, its great for anyone wanting to travel on a budget. The only complaint I have is I am a light sleeper, and since the house is on the corner of a popular street, cars with loud music passed by late at night and early in the morning, and the train isn't far away so we constantly heard the train all night. Other than the noise, this is a great location to stay at and I would recommend it."
528338,3555350,2013-02-16,4966169,Jacqueline,"Suite Spot is the best deal ever! The private guest house is so so cute, cozy, clean and with all the conveniences! Washer dryer, too! And the location could not have been better... walking distance to several fun, yummy places to eat. And only a quick $7 cab ride to SoCo area and downtown. Very central to so much that is going on in Austin. The local vibe was amazing and you couldn't get a better bang for your buck! Thank you Amber for making our stay so great!"
528338,3610339,2013-02-26,3074910,Linda,"Amber's place was just like the pictures.  WONDERFUL!   The Suite Spot was so sweet!!  It was just what we needed and more for our stay in Austin.  It's in a  great location, you have your own entrance as if it were your own place, and everything was so clean!  Amber was extremely helpful and friendly.  She responded quickly to all my questions.  I enjoyed the quilt show, touring Austin, and visiting our son at UT.  We will certainly try to stay there again on our next visit.  Thank you Amber!"
528338,3656975,2013-02-28,5216397,Kelly,"LOVED my stay at Amber's sweet studio! Thank you so much for allowing my very last minute res. This studio is in a great location close to shopping and restaurants and Austin Java ( epic white mochas!)

I would def stay again!

Kelly"
528338,3723921,2013-03-08,3003696,Chris,Great location and everything I needed. I walked everywhere I needed to go. Amber was very attentive. They had a bike to lend. It was a great way to see Austin. 
528338,3778819,2013-03-14,1614921,Annie,"The apartment was great. Easy walk into Austin and it looked just like the pictures. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Really pleasant stay. See you next year!
"
528338,3947105,2013-03-30,1813454,Amanda,"We had a great time at the suite spot! Very clean, soft comfy bed, lots of amenities, and close to a bunch of fun spots. Definitely go visit Peter Pan mini-golf, juiceland, and take a stroll around lady bird lake. Amber was an excellent host who made everything super simple. "
528338,4033330,2013-04-04,5137761,Renee,"This was a great place to stay. Cozy, comfortable and clean. It was close to where my son lives and all the places he wanted to show me. Love the neighborhood and the ambiance. I would definitely stay here again."
528338,4179896,2013-04-16,3940883,Jennifer,"The suite spot was such a lovely little apartment and we were very impressed with how clean and nicely decorated it was. Amber and John were incredibly helpful and accommodating. 
The suite spot is within walking distance to everything you could possibly need, restaurants, bars, shopping, coffee shops and is only about 1 1/2 miles from the famous 6th street bar crawl if you are interested in that. Also Zilker park is very close and is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and our daughter (who is 21 months old) loves the train and playground they have there. 
Thank you Amber and John, you and the suite spot made Austin great!"
528338,4221231,2013-04-20,3766708,Jeannette,"The Suite Spot was just right for us during our short Austin stay.  The room is small but well furnished with basic kitchen items, a comfy double bed, wi-fi, and a conveniently located TV/DVD.   The room was private and quiet and most convenient - within a block - to wonderful restaurants on Barton Springs Blvd.   The house is located in a good neighborhood and we enjoyed taking walks admiring the local flora and fauna.  Amber and John were gracious hosts and made it clear if there was anything we needed just to let them know.  All in all it was a great first time Air B&B experience and we're glad we took the plunge."
528338,4291442,2013-04-25,5378565,Gary,"We loved everything about the Suite Spot -- Amber was great to communicate with, and was helpful with recommendations.  We had two nights of wonderful live music practically at our doorstep -- the Flipnotics club was just what we wanted.  The suite was clean, cute, and quiet.  I had the best night's sleep in a week there!  We walked everywhere (to the park, to the botanical garden, around Lady Bird Lake, to SOCO, etc), but Amber had bikes to use if we had needed them.  We'll definitely stay here again if we return to Austin.  Thanks, Amber!"
528338,4377079,2013-05-01,5387005,Joel,"We had a great time at the ""suite spot"".
Walk to swimming, restaurants, and a short drive to clubs.
Amber and John were great hosts."
528338,4534131,2013-05-11,5430007,Arthur,"Great apt for our group of 2. The place was very clean and had everything we needed, including two bikes that were essential for exploring Zilker park, bats over Congress, downtown etc. Amber was great and all around an A+ operation!"
528338,4655166,2013-05-18,4256020,Jannik,"Even though I never met Amber in person, the communication with her was perfect! The room is wonderful and well located. I would love to stay there again if I come back to Austin!"
528338,4750810,2013-05-23,6326199,Emily,"Thank you for the wonderful place to stay while we visited Austin. We  enjoyed the location, especially for the short walk to a great breakfast and mimosa place :) The apartment was clean and quiet, and so much better than staying at a hotel! I would gladly stay with you again.

Thanks!"
528338,4843730,2013-05-28,6297254,Kelly,"My fiance and I stay at the Suite Spot this past weekend - This adorable studio style apartment could not possibly be located any better.  We had from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning in town, and it was so easy to get to anything we wanted to do.  It's a mere 2 minute walk down a little hill to get to the bustling area of Barton Springs road where you have your pick of food and drink spots, a 10 minute beautiful walk over to the Lamar Bridge to watch the bats, and a quick jaunt to Barton Springs pool.  The Suite Spot was our little oasis, and the first night we ended up having a bottle of wine on the patio after we made it back from dinner.  We never got to meet John, but Amber was very friendly and efficient and made sure we knew to just ask if we needed anything.  We have already decided that if we start making more frequent weekend trips to Austin, we'll be checking the Suite Spot first for availability! "
528338,4908228,2013-06-01,4422568,Steph & Tim,"We had a great time at the Suite Spot, was very clean and cozy! Close walk to Barton springs and some good restaurants, short drive to other Austin sites! They were very easy to communicate with and helpful with any questions.  Would definitely stay again if we came back to Austin, although it is a long way from New Zealand! "
528338,4999387,2013-06-06,4930794,Alyssa,"This really was a perfect little spot right next to Zilker park.  The bikes were a great way to experience the park which has paths that run along the river, plus a cool swimming area called Barton Springs.  It's beautiful.  The cottage is also right around the corner from one of our favorite cafes called Juiceland, which serves fresh organic juices and smoothies.  Her place was cozy and clean, with a very comfortable bed I might add!  Amber and John were gracious hosts."
528338,5055536,2013-06-10,6031265,Emily,"Amber was very easy to communicate and plan with, and had a very charming suite! Wonderful location. Would absolutely recommend to others!"
528338,5103951,2013-06-12,4254605,Aaron,This place was great. Exactly as advertised and in a great location. Me and my girlfriend made good use of the  bikes and Amber was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend this place.
528338,5147169,2013-06-15,6228022,Shannon,"Amber's place was perfect for our short stay in Austin. It was in an awesome location, the shower was great, and the bed was really comfortable. Highly recommend!"
528338,5375054,2013-06-26,455516,Kasey,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
528338,5375055,2013-06-26,6937243,Melissa,The reservation was canceled 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
528338,5610162,2013-07-08,6607872,Amanda,"I loved Amber's suite! It was cute, clean and felt like home during my weekend in Austin. I loved the neighborhood, too. I really felt like I got to know a little corner of the city that I might not have seen if I stayed in the typical hotel downtown. Barton Springs, Zilker Park and several quirky restaurants and bars are all just a walk away. I would definitely recommend Amber and her place!"
528338,5758444,2013-07-15,401422,Teresa,"Such a great place! Clean, cozy, comfortable and located in the heart of a thriving community. "
528338,6277043,2013-08-06,881639,Mike,"The location is perfect. John, Amber's husband, was awesome--he loaned me his bike so my girlfriend and I could bike all around town (the ONLY way to see a new locale), and his recommendation to check out Barton Springs Pool was spot on. The only way this stay could've been better was if there had been beer in the fridge (local, Austin or even Texas beer?). Someone actually did that once on a stay in New Orleans, just to set the bar high... :)

Thanks so much!!!
Mike & Valerie"
528338,6367190,2013-08-10,6186933,Arthur And Liz,"Clean. Excellent location. Separate suite off the main house, private.
Discreet hosts. Truly a Suite Spot. This is a smart choice."
528338,6470191,2013-08-13,6674747,Nana,"Great stay! Communication from Amber was fantastic and the house was immaculate!  Super cute guest house with great natural lighting, excellent water pressure (an important point), and everything I needed for my stay, including micro-fridge, breakfast teas and oatmeal, wine glasses, and even special towels for pool/Barton Springs days!  

I had the pleasure to meet Amber and John...they're awesome!  Really nice couple.  They were around if I needed anything, yet never intrusive.  Exactly what I wanted! 

The house is in an INCREDIBLE location.  Close to everything you'll need or want in Austin.  Walked each morning to the nearby coffee shops (Flipnotics, Austin Java, or Juice Land). Drove or cheap $7 taxi to downtown in the evenings. I'm definitely booking again!"
528338,6808089,2013-08-26,2666921,Amanda,"The central location and coziness of Suite Spot made for a genuine Austin experience.  Amber was a delight and obviously works hard to keep the home comfortable.  She lives right next door and is available if needed (though we never had any problems).  The price was right, especially for this location, and I would highly recommend staying here.

For you cat-lovers, a sweet kitty lives outdoors and would occasionally greet us during her romps around the yard.  (And if you're not into cats, she has a lot to do and won't bother you for long!)"
528338,7107229,2013-09-06,8534684,Rebecca,"The Suite Spot was great! Perfect location if you're looking to explore on foot or bicycle. Close to Barton Springs, a gluten-free pizza place (Unami Mami, I think), coffee shops, and of course, live music. The space was clean, cozy, and accommodating. I would recommend Amber's place to my friends. "
528338,7233604,2013-09-11,1863933,Larissa & Michael,"Suite Spot was just as pictured, and a comfortable place to call ""home"" for a few days.  The bed was comfortable, the kitchenette well-outfitted with plates, cups etc. and the bathroom was clean with plenty of towels. The location is a quiet residential neighborhood, close to Zilker park, the riverfront and fun and funky SoCo.  Amber and John are friendly but not intrusive, and have lots of good recommendations about the area. We also appreciated their honesty with food recommendations--if a place was not worth the trip, they would tell you so :)"
528338,7369953,2013-09-17,8138348,Todd,"This place was great.  Nice cozy spot, very clean, great location, perfect non-invasive hosts with great communication.  Highly recommend this place, way better than a hotel and your own front porch.

Thanks Amber!"
528338,7692012,2013-09-30,7251277,Billy,"The location of the ""Suite Spot"" was perfect. It was within walking distance to coffee and breakfast in the morning and after a long walk back from town in the evening we would swing into Uncle Billy's at the bottom of the hill for a drink. We spent most of out time taking in all that Austin had to offer but it was a great place to come home to each night. Amber had thought of everything from extra towels to take to the Barton Springs Pool to a little grill on the porch if you are inclined to spend more time just hanging out. Why would you stay at a hotel when you can stay at a place like the Suite Spot? We will totally recommend this place to anyone we know visiting Austin in the future.

Also don't be afraid of waiting in the 2 hour line at Franklin BBQ, it is totally worth it and get there by 10am. ;-) "
528338,7797234,2013-10-03,7934370,Tiffany,"A peaceful little space, that made a great home base for lots of nearby Austin fun.  As a solo traveler, I loved coming back to relax, knowing that friendly, helpful hosts were nearby.  The suite is clean, nicely decorated, safe and quiet.  Street parking was easy too. Walking distance to some great paths along Barton Creek made for nice mornings.   I wish I could have stayed longer! "
528338,7911735,2013-10-08,5051971,Sam,My boyfriend and I stayed at the suite spot for ACL and it could not have been more perfect. It was even perfect for venturing downtown as well!! It was a pleasure to meet Amber and her daughter who were MORE than welcoming. Amazing amazing Austin experience!
528338,8000748,2013-10-12,8515784,David,"I really enjoyed my stay at Amber's place.   The room had a lot of privacy and was very comfortable.

The proximity to town was great.  It was an added bonus to have Flipnotics coffee house a block away!  

Highlights included going to the Saxon Pub at night and being able to just walk home from there. It was also an easy walk to the bridge to make my way into the main part of downtown.  The availability of a bicycle at the house was even better for navigating around town.

Amber and her daughter were great with communication and being helpful with any questions I had.  All in all a great experience.  I look forward to coming back soon.

Thanks Amber!

"
528338,8138635,2013-10-17,7802571,Chris,"Staying at the Suite Spot was effortless. Amber was always quick to respond to messages, and always very friendly and to-the-point.

The area was great! We didn't end up walking many places (because it was raining), but many top-rated places were within a short walk. Few blocks to 1st (and all of the food truck lots). Few blocks to South Congress. 7 min drive/park downtown. 40 min ride to IKEA. 15 min ride to UT Campus. 15 min ride to Slaughterhouse Ln. 

The accommodations were just as pictured. There's room to sit briefly, but if you want to stay in very long you may have to lay on the bed. Amber kept coffee and some herbal teas handy. There is a closet to the right of the bed with an ironing board, iron, and plenty of room to hang up whatever you bring. No dresser to speak of. The mattress was soft and a bit springy. I prefer a more firm mattress, but it wasn't a major issue. Just a heads up.

If driving, there is plenty of street parking available across from the house. The spots closest to the house filled up after 7:00 pm from patrons of a nearby late-night coffee house.

I only saw Amber and her husband as we were driving off after check-out. They were hands-off as far as we were concerned, though happy to oblige if we had any needs. They kept the house stocked with whatever we might need - from extra towels to cooling Aloe in the medicine cabinet. 

Cool little place. Definitely worth checking out."
528338,8173950,2013-10-19,4001413,Patrick,"Very nice separate and private space.  I met Amber briefly when she let me in but that was it.

Definitely stay there again"
528338,8282200,2013-10-23,2100995,Christine,"The Suite Spot was just perfect: great location, soft and comfortable bed, and a lovely porch out front. The place has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Austin and Amber was a gracious and thoughtful host. For those visiting from out of town, the neighborhood is lovely and quiet with easy access to bars, restaurants, running trails and more. I will definitely stay here again! "
528338,8404476,2013-10-29,1229756,Rory,"This was a great neighborhood to use for my base--lots of great places to eat very close by, Zilker park within easy reach, and just a wonderful neighborhood with lots of character. The suite was private, though attached to the hosts' home, and Amber and John were friendly and accessible. 

There's a small fridge and a microwave as well as a grill on the patio, so it's possible to make dinner if you don't want to go out, but don't bring anything that require a stove/oven. 

All in all, a great stay. Terrific hosts. I'd be delighted to base a future trip there."
528338,8488057,2013-11-02,9205521,Kathleen,"This was definitely a ""sweet"" spot. The location is great, and the decor charming.  I would recommend  this rental in a heart beat. I can't wait to stay there on my next visit. "
528338,8727600,2013-11-14,8609760,Kate,"The Suite Spot is a phenomenal place to stay in Austin! It's in the beautiful Zilker neighborhood, within walking distance to Barton Springs and Auditorium Shores. Not to mention just up the hill from the infamous coffeehouse/bar Flipnotics! It's a great location for anyone spending time in Austin. 

The apartment is the perfect size for a twosome or solo trip. The bed is one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in, including the one I have at home! 

I only got the chance to see Amber once, but she was a lovely and accommodating host, and I would definitely stay here again (if only to see their adorable and super friendly kitty again!). Highly recommended!"
528338,8772455,2013-11-17,158631,Wayne,"Amber's place is a great spot to stay while you're in Austin. Located right beside Barton Springs and a short cab ride up to 6th and Congress or South Congress, you're really in a superb location to do a bunch of the things you need to while in town. This place is super clean and Amber is a fantastic host. This is an ideal spot with plenty of place for a single person or a couple. It was a bit tight for 2 guys to be sleeping here, but we had a feeling from the pictures it was going to be that way. In any case, we really enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend Amber's place to others. "
528338,8823882,2013-11-19,9832476,Genevieve,"The Suite Spot was the perfect location for my stay in Austin! I previously lived in Austin for 6 years, so I was excited when I discovered that the Suite Spot had availability during a weekend that was jam packed with Austin events - F1, UT game, Newly Admitted Attorney Ceremony! The Suite Spot is located walking distance from great restaurants, Zilker Park, and all the downtown and S. Congress activities are easily accessible. The Suite Spot hosts were easily reached and gave my friend and I the perfect amount of privacy! I highly recommend a stay at this cozy and quaint ""Suite Spot."""
528338,8914217,2013-11-25,8660721,Hannah,"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Suite Spot for a long weekend in late November.  The trip marked my first time in Austin and my first time booking through Air BNB, and I can't wait to come back!  The space is clean and homey, and Amber's instructions were detailed and thorough.  The Suite Spot is within walking distance to a few great bars and restaurants, including great coffee at Flipnotics.

Can't wait to come back!  Thank you Amber for a lovely stay."
528338,9280074,2013-12-17,10174493,Jeffrey,"Amber and John were extremely nice and very professional.  I can't say enough about this little place.  Great location, decorations, and amenities!  Brand new comfy linens.  Nice unique soaps, bathroom supplies, and fresh towels were provided too!  There was even coffee, tea, and wine available!
"
528338,9324517,2013-12-21,72694,Brian,"Our experience at the Suite Spot was fantastic. We booked our stay on short notice, right before Christmas and we were met with quick and friendly response to confirm our stay and give us instructions for getting access to the place. When we arrived we couldn't be more pleased - the place was clean, had a very welcoming decor, and was in a great location. We really loved the neighborhood - usually we find something closer to downtown or north of the university, but we're now sold on Zilker. We visit Austin often and are really looking forward to our next stay!"
528338,9445933,2013-12-29,1106114,Sandy,"This really is a great place to stay in Austin. Sweet neighborhood close to the park and so much more. Clean, comfortable, and quiet home base to explore beautiful Austin and its nightlife."
528338,9828355,2014-01-13,7780403,Nathan & Rachael,"The Suite Spot helped give us a wonderful and memorable trip to Austin. Amber was super cordial and helpful. We loved the location, and being able to walk to Barton Springs and the awesome coffee shops and restaurants nearby was perfect. We ended up barely driving and were able to do a lot just in the immediate area.

The space itself was cozy and clean. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks, Amber!"
528338,9886526,2014-01-17,389331,Susan,"This was our first time in Austin and staying at the Suite Spot was the perfect solution to an expensive soul-less hotel.  The apartment looked exactly like it does in the photos.  It was clean, cozy and had just about every comfort we needed for our short 4-night stay.  The location was just perfect.  Just south of the Lamar bridge to downtown and west of SoCo.  Zilker park is a 2 minute drive away.  Some of the best restaurants in Austin are located near the Suite Spot.

Amber was a lovely, warm and down-to-earth host.  Her communication before the trip was fantastic too.  We really enjoyed meeting and chatting with her, but we unfortunately did not get to meet her husband John.   If and when we go back to Austin, we would not hesitate to inquire about staying here again!  

Thank you for all your hospitality Amber!
"
528338,10446786,2014-02-19,9630577,Bill,"We had a great time in Austin. Amber's ""Suite Spot"" was a good location for getting around Austin.  It was close to public transit and an easy drive to most popular spots -  South Congress, downtown, etc.  Other places were easily walkable - Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool, Lady Bird Trail.  Amber's unit was small for the two of us, but certainly adequate for our week-long stay.  Could have used a hot plate so we could cook more in the unit, but I'm sure most people eat out a lot since Austin has so many dining and food truck options.  Several were close by on Barton Springs Road."
528338,10493176,2014-02-22,10851912,Nathan,"Great place with a great location. Easy walking distance to Zilker park and downtown. The brewery down the street, Uncle Billy's, was also very nice."
528338,10677361,2014-03-03,10967086,Anthony,"This was my first airbnb experience and I have to say I'm very impressed with Amber and the suite spot. The unit is bigger than the pictures show...we slept 3 people quite comfortably. The futon folds down into a bed, which makes it more sleepable than the pictures lead you to believe. There is a nice porch and Amber let us borrow 2 bikes(helmets/lock included). It is a short walk/ride to Lamar and Zilker park, but if you want to walk around downtown it is a bit far(free bikes took care of that). The cat will even come over and say hi!"
528338,10952854,2014-03-15,3989769,Trish,"I can't think of anything I would enjoy more than to sing the praises of Amber Deem and the Suite Spot.  Not only has Amber anticipated everything you might need to enjoy your stay, but the location and space provide just the right balance of proximity to (and distance from) the intense energy of events like SXSW.
I only hope Suite Spot will be available for my next trip to Austin.  I also want to say how totally beyond the call of (hosting) duty Amber went to help me when a storm brought trees onto my house in another state, and I had to leave Austin on a moment's notice.  You could not have a finer host.  Exceptional person.  Exceptional neighbors.  SO glad Amber is part of Airbnb!"
528338,11070491,2014-03-19,4209954,Melissa,Loved the suite!  Just right for 2.  Clean and well appointed.  Lovely hosts and neighbors. Great neighborhood.  Austin Cafe for breakfasts right down the hill.  Easy bus ride downtown and a nice long walk to South Congress.  Hope to stay here again!
528338,11473453,2014-04-04,13232495,Alex,"As an Austin local myself, I couldn't get over how awesome the location was.  The suite spot was the perfect spot for my in town vacation!"
528338,11691067,2014-04-12,781680,Melanie,The Suite Spot was the perfect place to stay in Austin.  The location can't be beat and the space is fantastic.  Amber was a great hostess and provided everything we could have possibly needed...and more!  We'd definitely stay here again :) 
528338,11825680,2014-04-16,2107248,Johanna,"Absolutely Wonderful!!! The place was spotless and had everything we needed including bikes! If you want to stay active while in Austin this is a great spot - close to the hike and bike trails, Barton Springs, Deep Eddy, & YMCA.  Good coffee, BBQ & beer are also steps away at the restaurants on Barton Springs. There is also an Enterprise car rental agency just around the corner. Amber was very friendly, easy going and helpful. Would definitely stay again!!! "
528338,12210680,2014-04-26,12763508,Karen,"Absolutely loved my stay here. If location really is everything, you can't go wrong with the Suite Spot. It's right off Barton Creek Road, just a block from the bus stop, several restaurants, food trucks and coffee places and the run and bike trail around Ladybird Lake. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly and the studio itself charming and comfortable. I will definitely be back! Thanks Amber!"
528338,12266243,2014-04-28,4124213,Jeremy,"The Suite Spot is simply outstanding! BOOK NOW! 

Oh, you want details? OK. The design of the place is great; functionally, it feels larger than it is. The bed is quite soft and I had no problems sleeping (which I typically do when I'm away from home). The location is optimal as well, with attractions and restaurants close by; I tried some of the dining close by and always left full and impressed. There's coffee and tea for your mornings as well. 
(I wish I had noted the sort of apple tea that was there; it was outstanding!)

I didn't get to meet Amber and Co., as they were out of town, but communications were quick and quite helpful. Next time I'm in Austin, I know I'm looking to see if the Suite Spot is available. It's a gem.
"
528338,12519249,2014-05-04,1972149,Shraddha,"We really liked the location of Suite Spot. It was close to great restaurants (food trucks and brewery) and parks which made us leave our car behind and walk around. The suite was clean and comfortable. Amber's instructions of what to expect with respect to AC, wifi were helpful. We're really glad we chose this cute, warm suite for our Austin trip! "
528338,12828905,2014-05-12,13616033,David,"The place, location, and host were excellent.  I would highly recommend choosing this spot to anyone visiting Austin. "
528338,12952168,2014-05-15,3500191,Elka,"Amber was an incredibly responsive and accommodating host!  She directed us to some great spots around Austin!  The space was small, but felt plenty roomy because of how well the space had been used!  Everything worked great!  It was just what we needed for our little getaway to Austin!

It was just lovely to come home to our little nook! "
528338,13008281,2014-05-17,12257409,Fernando,"Suite Spot? More like HotSpot! What a great place to stay. Centrally located convenient to Zilker Park, great restuarants, easy access to downtown Austin. Will return for sure, nice and cozy, with all the amenities.  Amber was great, easy to contact, and well acquainted with the area. "
528338,13251834,2014-05-23,7881552,Heather,"We had a fantastic 4 night stay at the Suite Spot. The accommodations paired with the location couldn't have been more perfect. The suite was clean, comfortable and nicely equipped with everything you might need in a home away from home, with access to bikes being a huge bonus. Amber and John were both very hospitable and offered some great recommendations for the area, including Ms. P's fried chicken and La Barbeque which were both fantastic. The one and only downside for me about the neighborhood, as a very light sleeper, were the train horns at night - however, this was easily remedied with some ear plugs that we thankfully had on hand."
528338,13315554,2014-05-25,6356908,Megan,"The Suite Spot went above and beyond our expectations! From the perfect location, to the cute and clean room, and super accommodating hostess Amber, we could not have asked for more. We are already planning our next trip to Austin and will definitely recommend the Suite Spot to all of our friends. "
528338,13539422,2014-05-30,14414771,Mary,"We chose the Suite Spot because it was a convenient location to many of the places we wanted to check out downtown. We were glad we did! The space was a perfect retreat after a long day of exploring the city. The furnishings were very nice, and the added bonus of a kitchenette was great. 

We will definitely consider staying here when we visit Austin again!"
528338,13819663,2014-06-05,6253311,William,"Our stay at Suite Spot in the Zilker neighborhood was great! Amber was an incredibly gracious host, coming outside when we arrived to warmly greet us and give suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood. She also kindly let us use a couple of bikes to explore Austin's awesome network of biking trails. The room itself was perfect. It was clean and impeccably furnished with an assortment of tea and coffee to get us moving in the morning. There was also a fantastic sitting area right out on our private porch with a bbq grill! Of course, if you don't want to cook your own meal on the grill, the suite is within a short walk from an assortment of restaurants and bars. All in all, we really can't think of anything we would change and would love to return sometime!"
528338,13891851,2014-06-07,15874737,Divya,"Suite Spot was awesome! We were only in Austin for 2 days for vacation, & Suite Spot fulfilled all our needs.  The location was great for getting downtown (which we did both by car and by walking/cabbing back) or getting to Zilker Park & the Town Lake trail.  The Suite itself has exactly what's shown, which is perfect for 2 people.  The bathroom can be a little tight if both people are getting ready at the same time, but there are plenty of mirrors in the kitchen area that my husband and I didn't find it to be a problem at all.  Would definitely come back."
528338,13950824,2014-06-09,1519034,Erin,"We came to Austin for the wedding of two friends and could not have been happier with the Suite Spot. It is a cute little studio in a fantastic location, and Amber is a great host. She has provided everything from coffee and tea to shampoo to towels to use for swimming. The size was perfect for the two of us for the weekend and having access to bikes was fantastic. My husband enjoyed the Chromecast. 

The Suite Spot is a short ride from the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, which borders Town Lake. We had a great ride and then kayaked for a while on the lake. We did this without having to drive anywhere or deal with parking. Austin Java is around the corner and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast there."
528338,14153422,2014-06-13,7993186,Alastair,"Good little spot - clean, very nice studio attached to the main house. Great location for exploring Austin!"
528338,17578810,2014-08-14,12257409,Fernando,"Amber,
We love staying at your place. The location is great, the bed is very comfortable we really feel at home. This was the first stay for our son Josh, and he really liked the apartment. We plan on coming back again and again. Please tell John he did a great job on cleaning the apartment.

Until we see you again, be well. 

Thank you,

Fernando, Belinda, and Joshua "
528338,18328097,2014-08-25,18067588,Bryan,"Amber's Suite Spot in the Zilker neighborhood was exactly what we were looking for! The accommodations were exactly as advertised, with a single bed and bath sectioned off from their home and offering all the privacy of a hotel room. The place was spotless and had a small kitchen sink, mini-fridge and coffee pot for our convenience. A note for guests and some local magazines provided great information about the area.

The location was superb! It offered the perfect balance of downtown and 'outdoor' Austin. The house is only a block from Austin Java, a wonderful breakfast coffee stop, and Uncle Billy's. Zilker Park and Barton Springs were a short walk or bike ride. Downtown is ~1 mile away, close enough for us to walk when the weather was nice. My wife and I took advantage of this and walked to the ACL Moody Theater for a concert. Flour and Vine is a great nearby restaurant for anyone looking for a convenient, delicious place to eat.

We will definitely head back to Amber's when we return to Austin!"
528338,18665644,2014-08-30,18766160,Tiffany,"Amber and John's Suite Spot was really an ideal place for us. We wanted a quiet, clean and cozy space in a walkable, fun neighborhood. The apartment and Zilker were the perfect match, really. Almost everything we wanted to see in Austin was within easy walking or biking distance, and everything else was quick enough to find by car (there was ample street parking directly in front of the apartment, btw). Our stay started midweek so we did not actually meet Amber and John until Friday, the last day we were there. They were both kind and helpful. They let us borrow the loaner bikes to tool around the nearby sculpture garden and then Barton Springs Pool. We needed a late checkout, and that was really simple to arrange in advance with Amber. The fridge was handy for our leftovers and the microwave was a nice convenience. The place really is quiet--definitely far, far better than any hotel. I almost forgot--I am quite sensitive to fragrances and chemicals, but I forgot to mention it to Amber until fairly last minute. She was very gracious and made sure we had scent free linens upon our arrival! Things like that make such a difference. We really appreciate the care Amber and John put into the Suite Spot and would definitely recommend it to others."
528338,19097936,2014-09-06,3239768,Tami,"Our stay was very comfortable. The location is very convenient to our activities. Our sons live nearby and we love South Austin. On a hot day, we went to the renovated Alamo Draft house movie theater which is also close by. We attended a free concert at Shady Grove and were able to walk there down the hill to Barton Springs Road. We drove nearby to Deep Eddy Pool. Amber provided beach towels and a small refrigerator. We appreciated the cold bottled waters on those hot days. Since we ate out each day, the refrig came in handy. If we had wanted to cook, basics were provided. The place is a studio, so cozy, but fine for us and clean. We were basically there to shower and sleep.  After all, we were in Austin. Parking was convenient right in front of the house. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for walking. Thank you Amber for a great visit and I enjoyed meeting you. "
528338,19447398,2014-09-12,20700815,Marcus,"Experience was fabulous! Amber has created a comfortable home away from home. Plus, there's everything you need: Internet, coffee, hot tea, shampoo, iron. I had a wonderful experience. Thanks Amber!"
528338,19681084,2014-09-16,4405016,Chris,"Amber was very friendly, thoughtful and eager to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.  Everything was as we expected based on other reviews.  Highly recommend.  "
528338,19780083,2014-09-18,7571751,Elizabeth,"The Suite Spot was even better than we expected!  It's private, cozy, modern, and in a superb location.  We walked to the Barton Springs, all sorts of incredible food trucks and restaurants, the sculpture garden, etc... we really could have spent weeks just exploring the area around this airbnb.  Amber was very accommodating and worked things out so that we could check in a little early.  We would absolutely return to this airbnb and recommend it to anyone!"
528338,19881677,2014-09-20,1742568,Toby,Amber's place is wonderful spot close to anywhere you want to be in Austin. My wife and I stayed here for several days while we attended a friends wedding and it was a perfect home away from home. 
528338,20254242,2014-09-26,10032756,Lucile & Benjamin,"Amber was a perfect host and really helpful. The house was really nice with all we needed. The area is just perfect, very close to Barton Springs and in a very calm neighborhood.
Austin is such a nice city with a lot of outdoor things to do - swimming and hikind, great shopping area and really nice restaurants.
I really recommend Amber House if youare looking for a nice and cozy house."
528338,20495801,2014-09-30,2232815,Carl,Amber made us feel very welcome and was helpful with info about Austin.  This is the perfect place to stay if you are considering going to the annual ACL festival which is about 1 mile away or less. This is a cute studio apartment on a side street but a very short drive to downtown.  
528338,20891368,2014-10-07,3135772,Laura,"The Suite Spot was amazing! A perfect little hideaway in a gorgeous neighborhood, a very short walk away from the park and $8 Uber ride away from the nightlife of 6th St. It's really perfectly situated, as there are also a handful of restaurants and bars, a general store, and a gas station all within a few blocks.

And then there's the place itself. So cute! Amber has great taste in decor and is very conscientious about how the place is arranged and prepared. The bed was comfy, the bathroom clean, the coffee plentiful, and the refrigerator pre-stocked with fresh water bottles. Additionally, the little patio is fabulous - a perfect place to crack open a beer and enjoy Austin's fabulous weather.

Finally, Amber herself is cool and, importantly, very responsive.

Thanks for a great stay! We really hope to return someday."
528338,21066757,2014-10-10,4836457,Brian,"Amber was very accommodating and the Suite Spot is great.  It's in a perfect location close the park and Downtown.  It's also really close to a ""B-Cycle"" station where you can get bikes for only $8 a day.  The bed is comfortable, the shower has good water pressure, and there were even water bottles in the fridge!"
528338,21275375,2014-10-14,4908048,Steven,The location was great and the hosts went above and beyond for us in terms of flexibility. Would certainly recommend staying at the Suite Spot to any considering it.
528338,21464054,2014-10-18,3543537,Steven,"From the moment we walked in, we fell in love with the ""Suite Spot"". 
It's clean, very well maintained, and has a very homey feel. Amber was great, she came to check on us once we arrived. She told us not to hesitate asking if we needed anything. Then told us, unless we DO need something, we won't see her, to enjoy our stay and enjoy Austin. ...And we did!!! If you want to really experience Austin, live and feel like a local, not worry about driving to coffee, to bars, to Zilker Park, to downtown, THIS is your spot. We loved staying here, and we'll stay here every time we visit! "
528338,21739599,2014-10-23,19307539,Erin,"This space offers amazing location with all the basics, and a few extras, you might need on vacation. Host was very welcoming - even giving me a Zyrtec when my allergies went off the charts. The space is was clean and cute. Recommended!"
528338,21830078,2014-10-25,14286099,Denis,"Le logement était propre et accueillant. Il y avait des fleurs, de l'eau dans le frigo, du café, des informations touristiques et des produits de toilette. Amber a été discrète mais nous avait laissé tout ses contacts téléphoniques. Elle nous a rendu visite très aimablement soucieuse que nous soyons confortables.  
Le logement est bien situé, tout proche du parc Ziegler et de plusieurs restaurants sympathiques. Le quartier est tranquille et très verdoyant. Le cadre intérieur et simple et agréable. 
Merci pour ce bon séjour."

We were in town for Fun Fun Fun Fest and were easily able to walk to Auditorium Shores from the neighborhood. 
Amber was a great host too. She greeted us when we arrived and asked us to let her know if we needed anything during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here!"
528338,22824158,2014-11-16,8902657,Courtney,My boyfriend and I had a great vacation at the Suite Spot! The place is very well taken care of and clean. The location is great. It's close enough to downtown but in a quiet setting. We walked to Austin Java a few mornings for breakfast. There were plenty of places within walking distance for lunch and dinner as well. Amber is a great host and let us know that she was available if we needed anything. 
528338,22983323,2014-11-19,22459364,Loretta,"We had a wonderful three-night stay at the Suite Spot.  The location is just perfect as we were able to easily navigate around the city and to/from the hill country.  There is an article in a magazine in the room that highlights the Zilker Park neighborhood that was great to read.  The room is just as you see in the pictures and was so clean and comfortable.  It really is an ideal place to stay.  Amber, I really appreciate the waters in the mini-refrigerator and the very thorough info sheet on the Suite Spot.  We are very pleased with our first airbnb experience and look forward to staying with you again.  Thank you!"

Amber made check-in so easy, and upon arrival, the space was perfect and welcoming and exactly what is pictured. There are helpful hints about the neighborhood and Amber even stopped by to chat when our paths crossed one afternoon. The location is perfect for exploring all that Austin has to offer, but tucked away enough that it provides a great spot for R&R. I highly recommend the Suite Spot for anyone visiting Austin and would love to stay again in the future!"

It was such a great base for exploring Austin - especially Barton Springs and Zilker Park. The house had everything we needed and felt like a small home away from home. We also loved the daily visits from Amber's cat, such a cutie with a big personality. We wouldn't hesitate to book again and hope to be back soon."

We slept 3 with no problem and were comfortably warm despite the unusually cold temps for Texas! Amber made it easy for us to get into the place, and made us feel at home enough to come looking for a cork screw at her place next door before our wine, cheese & crackers on the front porch. Lots of privacy, good shower, comfortable space. Thanks much! "

Highly recommended! A++++"

The suite was clean and had plenty of nice little touches: mosquito spray, suntan lotion, dishware, air freshener in the bathroom, etc.  And the location cannot be beat. It is a one-block walk to the restaurants on Barton Springs Road and, more importantly, a B-Cycle station.  B-Cycle is Austin bike-sharing program.  We used it to conveniently get around central Austin without a car.  (See (website hidden) for more details.)  The Suite Spot is also easy walking distance to a number of attractions: town lake, Zilker park, Barton Springs, Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar, etc.  We would stay here again in a heartbeat."
528338,31577619,2015-05-07,17675689,Stefanie,"We had a great time at Amber and John's place. It was a fantastic location with pubs,  restaurants, food trailers and Zilker Park all within walking distance. Amber was a great host and equipped the place with everything one could need. We also got to use their old bikes to ride to downtown and around the park and we could wash some of our clothes. All up, great place and great hosts! "
528338,32045709,2015-05-13,15833585,Camille,"What a wonderful experience! The description of the place really minimizes it's true beauty. In an amazingly quiet neighborhood and close to everything. Both Amber and John were so kind, helpful and welcoming. We especially loved the feline that greeted us every morning. Our next trip to to Austin will include a stay with Amber and John!"
528338,32495116,2015-05-19,26814212,Weston,"This spot could not have been better - amazing location and such a great host.  Amber was very accommodating and made the stay feel like a home away from home.  

All the amenities one would need for a several day stay, or even overnight.  Tons of bars and restaurants right around the corner or, weather permitting, a walk to downtown only takes 25-30 minutes and definitely worth it (Auditorium Shores, Congress Street Bridge, the views, etc).  

Thank you Amber for opening your home up to us!"
528338,32885587,2015-05-23,3484631,Frank,"Amber met us shortly after we arrived and welcomed us.  She gave us  a great recommendation for dinner and other one for drinks.   Her place, Sweet Spot, was as advertised.  Everything that you need for a short (or even longer) stay...except food and drink.  :-)   Sweet spot was clean,  but a little worn.  We have an old home and we like older places so it did not bother us.   The location is a short drive from down town (10 minutes), a short walk to a good micro-brewery (one long block), and close (5 minute drive) to some good restaurants.  We will stay at Sweet Spot the next time we are in Austin.  "
528338,33112710,2015-05-25,29689569,Sara,"We loved staying at the Suite Spot! It was such a great location and close to several restaurants, shops, and attractions. The actual suite was cute and cozy and the bed is super comfortable. We would love to come back! "
528338,33601126,2015-05-30,5346547,Alex,"We loved Amber's little guest house!  Small space, but had absolutely everything we needed for our stay.  It was superbly clean and organized, and we were amazed at how much she packed into the small space - couch, desk, kitchenette - without it feeling cluttered at all.  Area was quiet and beautiful yet also very convenient to get into the heart of austin.  Would definitely recommend staying here for a single person or couple spending some time in Austin!"
528338,34114724,2015-06-05,5787191,Sarah,"Amber was absolutely lovely and accommodating. The place was equipped with anything you may need like beach towels for the springs pool. Comfy bed, easy check in/out and in a great area close to eateries and short walk to downtown/soco area. Definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin."
528338,34700311,2015-06-11,12568560,Jaclyn,Amber was very welcoming and provided us with anything we needed. The place was very comfortable and homey and in a great location! Definitely would stay here again. 
528338,34860768,2015-06-13,17186262,Cr,All was great.  Perfect location.  Amber was very welcoming.
528338,35289500,2015-06-17,28354837,April,"This location is GREAT for anyone wanting easy access to EVERYTHING. We were a short walk from downtown, dining, coffee, Zilker Park, Barton Springs and so much more. We did Uber it a couple of times, but really didn't mind walking when we had to. The unit is stocked with little necessities in case you forget something, which is a nice touch. It was cozy, comfy, clean and exactly what we were looking for. Amber is a great hostess and was always available to answer our questions with speedy responses. We will absolutely book this ""Suite Spot"" when we come back to Austin!!!"
528338,35474786,2015-06-19,33163058,Joseph,"The place was very well-equipped with everything you can possibly need and even things you may have forgotten to bring. The hosts were very welcoming and provided an unexpected home-like atmosphere that we really enjoyed. The place is also very close to Zilker Park so that places Barton Springs, Alama Drafthouse and blocks of food trucks are less than ten minutes away. If it's still available, we would love to stay here again on another visit to Austin!"
528338,36088199,2015-06-25,30161985,Jeremy,The Suite Spot was the perfect size for our 3 day visit to Austin. Amber was hospitable and answered all of our question. We would stay here again on our next visit.
528338,36281640,2015-06-27,30743206,Jenna,"This place was amazing! So close to Zilker and a $5 uber ride to all the hot spots in Austin. The place had all the essentials, and Amber was very helpful and welcoming."
528338,36782763,2015-07-01,33123571,Celine,"Amber and john were so hospitable and kind, and the apartment was so cute and lovely. I mainly took ubers and lyft while staying there as I would say walking to south congress is about a 1.5 mile walk. If you are down for a bike ride, the hosts have bikes you can borrow. The neighborhood was safe and suburban and pretty centrally located. Austin's a great city with lots of character! I think anyone would have a wonderful time here and this place makes it feel like you're a home away from home :)"
528338,40304050,2015-07-30,23917766,Kylie,"Amber and John were the perfect hosts!
Amber greeted us with a huge smile and a fist pump!. The Suite Sport is very cool, the perfect spot for our visit to Austin, very clean and tidy with plenty of room for 2. The location is great with heaps of eateries within easy walking distance. The city is a short bike ride and cheap taxi ride. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone."
528338,40561965,2015-08-01,29170141,Kendall,"We loved our stay at the Suite Spot! Amber was away but John immediately made us feel welcome-- giving us a recommendation for a great mechanic for some car troubles we needed addressed, and showing us the laundry set up despite the late(r) hour. The room is very sweet and full of light-- just enough space for two people to relax and unwind, and a great location close to all types of Austin attractions, especially the South Lamar neighborhood. "
528338,43347281,2015-08-19,603096,John,"As we only had 2 days in Austin, the location was perfect for us to walk to the Park, Barton Springs and the Capitol Building. Bars and food options are only a short walk away (try some of Uncle Billy's local brew). We had a wonderful time and Amber & John were perfect hosts. Highly recommended. "
528338,43653088,2015-08-21,38867348,Tim,The suite spot was perfect for our needs. Amber was a gracious host and let us check out a little later because we have an infant. The neiborhood was really cool and close to everything we were interested in in Austin. Everything was provided including a pack and play and plenty of kitchen utensils. If we ever go back to Austin we would definitly try to book the suite spot again.
528338,44098064,2015-08-24,30804274,Mari,The suite spot certainly was a sweet spot! It was right in the middle of everything. Amber and john has the place set up with essentials. They were very sweet and their cat that wandered over occasionally was endearing. Thank you for having us! 
528338,44443040,2015-08-26,38614193,Emily,"Our stay at the suite spot couldn't have been better!! The place was cozy, amazingly clean, and felt just like home. The location was perfect, and close to everything. If we ever come to Austin again we will be staying here for sure, thanks so much!"
528338,45248792,2015-09-01,33344209,Kristen,"I cannot speak highly enough of the Suite Spot! Amber is a fantastic host who made our stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. She also provided some great recommendations for food and things to do. The property itself is located in the perfect area - close to a gorgeous park and refreshing, natural springs. The bikes Amber lends is super helpful and meant we rarely used any other form of transportation. 

I would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone who wants a great experience in Austin!"
528338,45495684,2015-09-03,5002679,Mike,"The house was exactly as described and shown in photos. It was a cute studio connected to the house Amber lives in. The neighborhood felt safe, welcoming and was extremely close to a lot of things to do, see and eat. 

Amber has everything you would need including extra sheets, towels in case you decide to go to Barton springs pool (it was one of the highlights of our stay), and some really great amenities (shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, etc...) This studio is easily setup for allowing you to just enjoy it's comfort, and surrounding attractions, without worrying too much about what you may need when you get there. Definitely one of the better airbnb experiences i've had. "
528338,45688662,2015-09-05,250592,Cat,"This place had everything I could need, a cozy and comfy bed, and a fantastic location close to Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Be sure to take advantage of the free bikes to explore the nearby park and trails! 

Amber is a wonderful host - she helped return some items I'd accidentally left behind and was generally super responsive, friendly and available. I'll definitely return next time I'm in Austin. "
528338,46863657,2015-09-14,6105676,Kaitlyn,"Our stay at the suite spot was wonderful! We loved the neighborhood and nearby restaurants and cafes. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and just the right size for my partner and I. The hosts were great and even left us a bottle of chilled white wine upon arrival. I would absolutely stay here again!"
528338,47615746,2015-09-21,30935160,Heather,"I really enjoyed my stay at the Suite Spot,It was a nice quiet neighbourhood,such a comfortable bed.Amber was great,I was on my own in a new city for a convention,it was nice to have someone to ask questions.The suite was well equipped,it was a nice place to unwind after my long days (website hidden) cab fare to downtown was under $10 a trip,I was happy about that.For one or two people it's a perfect little spot handy to lots of Austin's popular spots."
528338,48271275,2015-09-25,22469070,Erin,"Amber was super friendly and helpful, would highly recommend her place to stay!"

Amber was great to work with and everything about the suite was as described and very comfortable.  We also enjoyed coffee on the porch and our daily visit from Setta, the local cat."
528338,49781046,2015-10-06,33856723,Jenny,"Suite Spot was just as described, the perfect location for us to attend ACL at Zilker Park. It was true to it's Austin charm! Amber and John were more than hospitable, flexible to our needs and had everything taken care of. We'd happily recommend them to anyone and would totally stay there again! "
528338,50630703,2015-10-13,28191837,Juan,"This cozy apartment is perfect for 1-3 people! The check-in was very easy, Amber and Peach(neighbor) were both very helpful with the parking situation, and the convenience of this location cannot be stressed enough! If you are going to ACL, you can't get any better. If you want to do anything in Austin without having to deal with the traffic of downtown, its perfect. 

The bed is very comfortable, the decorations are wonderful, and anything we needed help was a simple text/call away. We were extremely happy to have gotten this apartment! Thanks for everything"
528338,51106791,2015-10-18,8280827,James,"The suite spot is probably the most convenient location in Austin, just a quick drive to downtown, dirty 6th, Rainey, Barton springs, south congress. The apartment is a little campy--just like Austin--and complete with all the necessary toiletries and towels for both bath and swimming. Perfect size for 2 people. My favorite part was the big double kitchen sink. The Google chrome set up is brilliant. "
528338,51432840,2015-10-20,39760170,Matt,Apartment is exactly as listed. Great price and a great location. It was about a 3 minute walk to the wedding reception we attended.  She was sick but still stopped by to say hello. She was super nice.

Air mattresses were also available for extra sleepers. The house is clean and cozy, and well equipped. We would definitely recommend this house, and go back when needed. Its located very close to the campus and many food places. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us."
4417644,39818726,2015-07-26,16660680,Charles,"Highly recommended, comfortable and quaint home in Austin. Older home but well maintained and outfitted in chic, mid-century style. Conveniently located near a grocery store and a few restaurants (including Torchy's). Not too far from downtown. Hosts meticulously prepared the home (clean, organized, all beds made) and even put out a few snacks for our arrival! The house did very well for our large group of eight--we particularly enjoyed the screen porch; perfect for summer evenings. Thanks Chelsey and Aaron for sharing your space, and we look forward to the next time we're in Austin. "
4417644,49432292,2015-10-04,37696713,Marissa,"The hosts made us feel so welcomed after I told them we were in town for a Bachelorette party! They left a bottle of champagne, some snacks, and some fresh flowers on the table which was such a nice touch! The house is on the east side of Austin which is much more quiet but still an easy über ride to 6th street. The outdoor screened in porch was the perfect gathering place for our party. It was so great having a place with so many common areas to gather. The house is a little old and has been updated some but still a bit loud when some are trying to sleep. But we were not there to sleep too much so no worries! Thanks for such a great experience! Everyone in our party loved it."

We were welcomed by the hosts when we arrived, and they gave us a short introduction to the house. 
Overall everything went smooth, we were all very pleased."

7461768,42750378,2015-08-15,20663847,Alex,"So we land in Austin tired and hungry and Genevieve and her friends invite us to join them and their friends on an authentic Asian dining experience known as ""hot pot"". It was delicious, both perfectly satisfyig our travel-ridden appetites and warmly welcoming us to ""Bat City"".
Genevieve delivered exactly what she promotes on her profile, without any unpleasant surprises. All the housemates are respectful of our space and eager to recommend fun sites to see and places to ""Keep it weird"" at. If you feel like being surrounded by positive young energy, ambition, and a passion for hooking traveller's up Genevieve's your best bet (make sure to ask her about Poker night). Anyway time flew and in the blink of an eye we found ourselves back home haha Thank You GenGen!
Thank you Sushi !
Keep it Weird Austin!

Sincerely,

Luckily, we came across Mark's available room which offered all the amenities we needed to have a smooth weekend.  How lucky!  Not only did we find the perfect location, parking, and a place to sleep but we met a great person and host.  He definitely went above and beyond making us feel comfortable in his house and city.  We had a private bathroom and were able to use his washer and dryer to wash the lake towels and bathing suits.  After a day at the lake, he even drove us into town to experience the nightlife.  No cabs!  My wife and I would (and already have) recommend his place if they're looking for a comfortable and just all around great experience.  We're going back next month!"

It's a serene, pretty little cottage with a beautiful yard on a quiet street -- plenty of space for 2 people, clean and decorated beautifully. And the location was great: easy walk to heart of South Congress (about 5 mins from Magnolia, 10-15 to Continental Club) and easy drive or bike to downtown, East Austin, etc. Sofia was a great host -- she was very flexible with both arrival and departure times (and both of ours were a bit of a pain) and super-responsive about everything. All in all, a highly recommended place to stay!  "
6032630,34483556,2015-06-08,17207600,Carley,"I was visiting Austin with my significant other who had never been before, and Sofia's place was really the element of our trip that made it special. Cozy, clean, and truly unique! Sofia was more than communicative and the amenities provided were perfect for our weekend stay. There is a designated parking spot behind the house that is best suited for small, compact cars. I had a minivan with me and found there to be copious, convenient parking on the street. So wonderful, would definitely recommend!"

She gave me a small tour and had amenities I could use - a bottle of wine, toiletries and the wi-fi password. The home itself was ADORABLE. Wonderful porch, windows that let in light, and furnished/decorated with great taste. Super clean and smelled good too! The location could not have been better - walking distance to so many great places. Highly recommend this beautiful studio!"

It is decorated beautifully, is very clean, and smells really nice. It is close enough to walk to the shops, bars and restaurants on South Congress.

I was in town for two nights on business and this was a serene oasis.  Good location.  Parking was nice to have but not necessary.

Everything was perfect and he even gave us a welcome  gift! the house is in a chill part of town and you can find about anything you need in a 4 minute drive. Stay at his place, you will not regret it!"
5190791,29413365,2015-04-07,28281658,Angel,"Great place to stay! Brendan and Sabrina were wonderful hosts. Whenever I had a question they were quick to respond. This is a beautiful home. They even left us some staple groceries so we didn't have to run out to the store on our first night there. This was super helpful to us so that we could instead use that time to visit with family. 
We had 3 adults and 2 children stay and felt there was plenty of space. The kids loved playing with all the toys and books that were available. There's also a park right around the corner. And the neighborhood is great to run in. Very quiet.
This home is convienently located close to just about anything you would want or need. They left a folder with info of the surrounding neighborhood and a couple books about Austin, which was very useful. This was our first experience with airb&b and was definitely a great one. Thanks Sabrina and Brendan!"
5190791,41752401,2015-08-09,9257696,Eliane,"This was our first Airbnb . Brendan was very quick to respond to questions and emails, we were working and we had to change our check out twice and he agreed.
Great place to stay!  Very spacious, it's in a neat neighborhood, very quiet and secure. Fit our group of 6 perfectly ! Extra sheets, cookware, extra towels... We would definitely recommend this place for a large group of people. 
Thank you again for letting us stay in your home. Austin is awesome!"
927670,3756716,2013-03-11,5319037,Erin,"Lenore is a doll and is extremely generous with her space. She will claim it's a mess and disorganized but I assure you, it's not! It was a beautiful space and I was very comfortable there, along with my friend Michele. Plenty of parking, and a beautiful outdoor space. Lenore's house rocks!! "
927670,3774986,2013-03-13,3134951,Eric,"I stayed two nights in Austin with Lenore and had a wonderful experience. here's why:
1. The Room And bathroom are stylish, beautiful and very comfortable.
2. Lenore went out of her way to make my stay great. She had the local paper and a restaurant guide waiting for me, she offered me her office when I told her I had to get some work done. she even picked me up from the airport and took me to a restaurant she works with (she's a caterer and real foodie) where we basically ate for free.
3. She knows Austin well and gave great advice,

Michael and Amal"
927670,8059910,2013-10-14,6102868,Ian,"Lenore was a wonderful host and helped me make the transition to living in Austin by helping me bridge the gap between arriving and finding an apartment. She's a real local and has the down-low on what's good in the area and I'm very happy that I chose to stay with Lenore and get a taste of the local culture instead of spending two weeks in an expensive, soulless hotel.

Also she has cats and they're adorable. And South 1st street is cooler than South Congress or South Lamar, imho, so Lenore's got the location too."
927670,8286817,2013-10-23,8831428,London,"My boyfriend and I had a LOVELY stay at Lenore's. It was extremely cozy and she was so welcoming. It felt like we were right at home. We spent time, watched shows, and played with her kitties and just overall enjoyed her company :-) as well as we hope she enjoyed ours! A fantastic place to stay! It's a bittersweet goodbye but we hope to be seeing her soon! "
927670,8696050,2013-11-12,9490449,Daniel,"Lenore is a very good host. The room/house was exactly as advertised. I spent most of my time out, but when I was there she was a gracious host, willing to help with any detail. She was extremely easy to communicate with, and flexible with check-in and check-out times. The home is in a great location, and I was able to access the downtown by bus in about 10 minutes. All in all a good experience. I would recommend a stay with Lenore."
927670,10443965,2014-02-18,7787903,Rylan&Jamie,Lenore was great! There were mints on our pillows and everything was very tidy.  She was friendly and always available via phone for questions or suggestions. The place is a little out from Austin's main attractions but there are bus lines nearby.  There were good cafes within walking distance and south congress was a short ride away.
927670,10955130,2014-03-15,3615304,Markku,"I had a pleasure staying at Lenore's home during sxsw. I enjoyed her hospitality, nice conversations and the local insight with very valuable advice about Austin and sxsw. Her house is comfortably located in a quiet neighborhood with less than ten minutes drive to downtown. The room is clean, cozy and warm with a bathroom right next door and Lenore's cats made my stay even cozier. I liked my stay there a lot and will be back for my next sxsw :)"

She is very welcoming and super helpful, from providing tips to getting around Austin, to offering stamps when I mentioned I had some letters to mail. The room was comfortable and exactly as described. The location was great, too -- less than a 10-minute drive to downtown and South Congress. I would happily stay with Lenore again."
927670,25702686,2015-01-23,21565448,David,A nice home that speaks volumes about Lenore's warmth. She conscientiously made me feel comfortable and effortlessly feel cared for under her roof. It was a pleasure. 
927670,25976730,2015-01-31,1639254,Nathan,"The room is lovely, the bed is very comfortable, Lenore is a wonderful hostess, and the cats are extremely well behaved. I can highly recommend staying in Lenore's house. The neighbourhood is quiet, and only a 15 minute walk to great places to eat and see live music. You can walk to downtown in half an hour, or get a bus easily from South 1st. Lenore knows Austin like the back of her hand, and is full of great recommendations. "
927670,28247252,2015-03-21,1658761,Sam,"I had a great stay at Lenore's place. She was warm, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable during my entire month long stay. She provided great pointers to places to hang out at.

The house was great, just as described in the listing. Lenore gave me ample refrigerator and shelf space. When temperature dipped unusually low, Lenore provided space heaters to make up for it. The backyard was pretty sweet. The cats were chill. The neighborhood was great! Lots of stuff to do within walking distance. And downtown was just a few minutes drive away.

I look forward to visiting Austin again :-)"
927670,30910152,2015-04-28,28622150,Edie,"This was a quality host in every sense.  She took time to be there on arrival, give a tour, explain the rules/requirements of the house.  She was warm and welcoming, fun to spend some time with in her beautiful back yard with her fun cats.  Was generous with conversation, a delicious smoothie and a glass of wine.  Being a foodie, she gave perfect advice on local eats.  She offered rides a couple of times.

The house is beautiful, the bedroom is a gem.  One morning I slept till 10:30 with the windows open not realizing the time since it was so calm and quiet.  Honestly... I didn't really wanna leave.

Locations was pretty good too.  For me it was perfect.  5 minute bike ride or 15 minute walk from where I needed to be.  The street is a dead-end/loop, with hardly any traffic.  A couple of nice breakfast places, and a whacky Austin bar around the corner. 

Overall, I loved my stay.  I sorta miss it already."
927670,34787191,2015-06-12,30052672,Andrew,"Lenore made sure that I had everything possible that I needed right when I got in. She was delightful to stay with, and has an amazing location for doing anything in Austin. She also happens to be an excellent cook, and she is always willing to share."
927670,45622673,2015-09-04,22061211,Jamila,"Lenore was a Godsend.

I found out my apartment had black mold and I had to vacate immediately.

She accommodated my, very late in the evening, same day request. She opened up her home for me and my 10 day wait on a new apartment.

The place was clean, comfortable (bed super comfortable) and well organized.

The company of her and her two lovely felines were an added bonus.

I'm grateful to her and Air B&B for a low cost solution, to one of life's many curve balls!"
2069590,22516390,2014-11-08,23431924,Victor,Our host was able to accommodate us on an extremely short notice which made our whole night possible. Very awesome. This was a great seamless experience and the other 3 guests were also very satisfied throughout the stay. The house was modern feeling and designed very well. Out host was generous to us and made our experience much more complete for us.
2069590,37750085,2015-07-10,33452139,Hannah,"Even better than pictured! The upstairs was just redone so there were 5 additional beds in the house, which was perfect for our party of 10. 

Loved the location! The house is conveniently located across the street from a grocery store and just a $5 Uber ride from 6th street.

Terrance was a wonderful host. His check out instructions were detailed and easy to follow. He was available via text just in case we needed anything and seemed genuinely grateful to have us in his home. I would definitely stay here again when I'm in Austin!"
4680967,32939924,2015-05-23,222969,Joshua,"Glenda was very responsive and the house was great. She even picked up a few things at the grocery store for us. The area was really walk-able. We walked to a nice strip of restaurants in about 5 minutes and to the capital in 15. 

"
4680967,37417893,2015-07-06,36738465,Brian,"Glenda's place exactly what we had hoped for during our weekend vacation. The house was immaculate, the rooms were extremely clean, and the location was perfect. Easy access to I-35 and downtown, but in a nice neighborhood away from the noise of the city. Glenda asked if we had any special requests for our stay ahead of time, and was available via text or phone call during our stay. The photos listed in the description accurately illustrate the amenities of the home."
4680967,39118098,2015-07-20,4987041,J.J.,Glenda is wonderful. Super thoughtful providing us with some beer to start off the weekend. And very conscientious checking in on us throughout our time in Austin

4680967,46049332,2015-09-07,34654386,Victoria,"Glenda was an amazing host from the beginning before even booking with her. She replied within minutes every time I messaged her to ask questions or notify her of new information. She had a delicious pizza waiting for us upon arrival to the home! It was wonderful! Her home instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow. The pictures of her home do not do it justice. It is a beautiful home and super cozy! She had any and all appliances needed including wine glasses which we had completely forgot our own!! Any time I text her to ask where something was, she replied within minutes to let me know! The air mattress she provided was the most comfortable air mattress (& lifted!!). The home fit 5 ladies comfortably! The Internet in the home was very reliable even with 5 people connected with iPhones and a couple iPads. Glenda suggested great places to eat & fun things to do. Her home was a $4-8 Uber and/or Lyft ride to anywhere downtown (depending on west or east downtown). The neighborhood is quiet so it was nice escaping the rowdy downtown Austin nightlife after dark to get a relaxing night of sleep. We ate at 2 splendid downtown restaurants which we highly recommend called Uchiko and Pirahna. Call ahead to make a reservation. I highly recommend Glenda and her home! I will most definitely be staying here again for my next Austin trip! :) "

4680967,49811920,2015-10-06,43380773,Justin,"Glenda was very congenial prior to our arrival, asking our needs and giving good tips about navigating the area (we rented a car). Listing was accurate and it was nice to be close enough to the mix but able to dip out and recharge easily. Met our needs but, sometimes, how a thing ends, colors it forever. We were left with a very sour taste in our mouths after being on ""10"" about our stay here. Our host broke our agreement by staying at the property on the third and final night. This was unexpected and raises a myriad of issues but among them is not getting the benefit of the bargain we struck, security/privacy concerns and distracting from our final evening in Austin where we had come to enjoy the festival."
4680967,50628917,2015-10-13,15939361,Hunter,"Glenda's house is very conveniently located and has all of the amenities you need for a weekend (or longer) in Austin.

Glenda made everything very easy as far as check-in and check-out is concerned and ensured that we had everything we needed. Her home is spacious and includes a nice backyard/patio. 

Biking distance to all of Austin (we biked daily to Zilker Park), and walking distance to the famous Franklin's BBQ and other great restaurants.

Would definitely recommend to a friend!"

We walked to Zilker Park and the fabulous Barton Springs swimming pond. Easy drive into city centre and bus routes too. The apartment was just as described neat,  good bath & bed, nice patio and everything required for a short stay. Great deli/market over the road and nice neighbourhood. Definitely recommended. "

Her apt is very comfortable for two to unwind and get ready. And we loved the location!   We walked thru the park and on the trails to downtown (1.5 miles) everyday. $9 uber rides to so co.  No coffee pot so I would have brought one. Would highly recommend her place.

Communication was concise.  Keyless entry made it simple for five coworkers to come and go as differing schedules dictated.  We enjoyed jogging in the safe, quiet neighborhood.  Grilling and cooking were great.  The kitchen was well appointed, and the espresso and teas were appreciated.  Living room was awesome for tv and video games.  Back porch divine for evening beverages or morning coffees. Plenty of linens and kitchen was ready for use.  Frequently went exploring on the trails behind the house or enjoyed some evening sun. Highly recommend."

The backyard/porch is large and was a great place to throw around a frisbee or football in downtime. Not too many bugs, surprisingly. The heat was real over the weekend so I didn't explore down the trails that lead into the park.

TurnKey was on point and contacted me a couple times to make sure everything was going smoothly, which was nice. Would recommend this location and TurnKey service. "

1895753,12000879,2014-04-21,6864996,Ramona,"The rental company was proactive - emailed me a week before with pertinent details, and again on the day of to make sure I was able to get n. There's an 800 number where someone is available any time to help. The unit was clean and well equipped with dishes, glassware, towels, toiletries, etc. The bedroom is tight, but the bed was fine and there is plenty of storage. The sleeper sofa was surprisingly comfortable. A couple of observations: there's a coffee maker, but no coffee, and only 2 wine glasses in an accommodation for 4. OK - the down side: Second floor, no elevator. NOISY. This is Austin, so I understand some late night noise, but the windows are single pane, directly over the street corner and the revelers never stopped! Plus sirens sounded at all hours of the night. I cannot recommend this location for anyone other than late night youths!"
1895753,12626736,2014-05-06,13976383,Melania,"Erica and the entire TurnKey team were amazing. We had a great stay, the condo was beautiful, the location was ideal. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend and would definitely stay here again!"
1895753,16567349,2014-07-29,17341671,Dennis,"The condo looked exactly like the picture, clean, modern, though maybe a bit smaller than it portrays in the photos. Behind the two chairs and the longhorn sculpture you can find the bed, which makes it a perfect little studio. It was a bit difficult to get cooking going, because there were no basic spices, herbs or sugar, which I ended up buying. It feels like most people don't take the effort to cook at this apartment because of it, though the Austin food scene is excellent :)

One downside is that it's very close to 6th street, which is the main drag of Austin. There were several nights where people were having conversations just outside of the room, which could be easily overheard because of single paned glass. However, this problem could be easily resolved with double paned glass for better isolation"
1895753,21587964,2014-10-20,20415277,Julie,"The listing description was accurate -- the apartment was beautiful and in a great location. The sofa bed, though, was broken upon arrival which made our stay fairly uncomfortable. If the pullout sofa hasn't been fixed, I do not recommend staying here with a party larger than 2. "
1895753,22732930,2014-11-13,8599751,Laura,"Dealing with Erika and her company was a breeze. Gated, quiet building in the perfect location for downtown. Easy access to sixth street, cute 2nd street district, the river, south congress, and within walking to the Capitol and UT.  Condo was perfect for 2 (4 would be a squeeze). Loved the separate sleeping and living areas. The condo was very clean and had all the amenities you might need (kitchen utensils, iron, hair dryer, hangers, etc). Seriously great location. Thanks again!"
1895753,22811552,2014-11-15,23390903,Jessica,This was my first AirBnB trip and it was great! Arrived and the apartment was exactly how described & beautiful. Easy to navigate around Austin & great communication. Will definitely stay here again.

1895753,24007345,2014-12-16,19198708,Josh,"Swanky place. Great location. Does get noisy on the weekends. But if you like being in the mix, this is the place. Check out Blenders and Bowls across the street as well as Handle Bar."
1895753,24122526,2014-12-20,946113,Holly,"This place was absolutely perfect. I was only in town for a very quick trip, and the apartment had everything I needed. They did an awesome job of keeping me updated on everything before the trip and making sure I knew exactly what to do upon checkout. Wouldn't think twice about staying here again."
1895753,25670169,2015-01-22,26176336,Juan,"The Turnkey team was professional and efficient on their communications. The apartment looks exactly like the pictures, and everything was very clean and new. 

On the down side, the windows are not great and barely isolate from the noisy street. Not the best place if you are a light sleeper. "
1895753,26989499,2015-02-23,2028062,Jaime,"I really loved this place and hope to stay here again when in Austin. It is only two blocks from the convention center. The bed is super comfortable and the space is clean. I am a sensitive sleeper and there is noise at night from the street, but the white noise machine by the bed completely drowned it out and I slept great. "

1895753,29831806,2015-04-13,16751345,Donna,"Never met the host in person but all communications were timely and accurate.  The accommodations were as stated; very comfortable and in a good area for walking to local restaurants and sights. Host provided welcome white noise machines that helped distract from street noise. You are in a city, not the country, so expect sirens. 
All in all this place fit all of our needs and would certainly recommend it."
1895753,30444887,2015-04-22,839982,Garrett,"The word that comes to mind first is ""Wow!"" The Downtown condo was immaculate, better than pictured (which is saying a lot since the pictures show how pretty the place is) and wonderfully located. It absolutely made our stay in Austin amazing. Within a few blocks are more restaurants than I even imagined, and after our days of exploring it was magically to come back to the place and just relax. Erica and team are pure professionals!"

The neighborhood was decent. The condo was perfect for our stay, since we wanted to be walking distance from 6th street. The private parking lot connected to the condo was a plus. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely come back! "
1895753,32476516,2015-05-18,4625659,Elise,"Me and my three friends really enjoyed our stay in Austin. 
The apartment was really well put together and the space is used well. We were really glad that it came with earplugs as the apartment is on a busy street.
Only issue would be the sofa bed that sloped down and needed propping up with cushions. I would recommend this place to friends and would come back in the future. "
1895753,35470594,2015-06-19,28591609,Robert,"Great location, just one block from the Convention Center, and a couple of blocks from all the action on 6th street. The apartment was as advertised and clean."

1895753,48245058,2015-09-24,11019586,Megan,"Great location in Downtown. Easy walk or cab ride to bars, restaurants and to lady bird lake. It was a very clean apartment, it felt like staying in a hotel. Enjoyed the location the most. Only down fall, internet was very spotty.  "
1895753,50009159,2015-10-08,36305472,Elizabeth,"Great location and really nice apartment.  Very modern and clean and close to everything.  

The apartment faces the street and it was very noisy.  Best to bring ear plugs.

The property is run through an agency so everything was easy and automated."
8031278,48218116,2015-09-24,16180269,Shawn,"Sue and Dave was very welcoming hosts and accommodated me on a late flight in. The room was a queen size bed in a small room, I visited Austin by myself and didn't need much so this placed sufficed. The pool was relaxing and baby girl is a sweet heart that loves belly rubs."
8031278,49247205,2015-10-02,15027580,Mike,Sue was great! Room was comfy and had a/c going upon my arrival.  Prompt communication. Pool was the perfect cap for a day walking around the city.  Her dog was a great poolside companion too. Highly recommend staying at Sue's.
8031278,50319939,2015-10-11,14910285,Kelcie,"Sue and family (and adorable dog) were gracious and inviting. Was very welcomeing in their home and such a beautiful backyard. Although I didn't get to take a dip in the pool because of my wedding festivities I did hang with Baby Girl by the pool a few times. A great place to lay my head while I galavanted around Austin, very close to downtown as well. An easy Lyft Line ride into downtown usually only cost me $5-8."
8031278,51977835,2015-10-25,24046007,Kelley,We had a great experience at Sue's home! They are extremely kind and welcoming and have the sweetest puppy!! Bed was comfortable and the sheets were super soft :-) Perfect location and close to everything you could need!
1872960,10791120,2014-03-07,11508546,Mike,"Very clean, cozy, warm and comfortable. Steven was open and inviting, very accommodating for my last-minute trip. Great location in a quiet neighborhood. The room itself is quiet and on the other side of the house.

Overall, a great stay, would DEFINITELY recommend staying here!"
1872960,10929132,2014-03-13,8444872,Hans,"Steven is a great host and he made me feel home away from home when was in Austin. I would definitely recommend anybody going there. The room is simple but good, quiet and clean."
1872960,11031888,2014-03-17,12898386,Amina,"I am a publicist and two of my clients stayed with Steve during SXSW, they felt like it was a home away from home. Steve was very accommodating and helpful when needed. This was their first time staying at a b&b and I appreciate Steve helping give them a great experience."
1872960,11786704,2014-04-14,13977720,Chelsea,"Had a great first experience with AirBNB and with Austin thanks to Steve's hospitality. Not only did Steve welcome us into his clean and cozy home, but he also took the time to talk a lot about good places in Austin to see, which really made a huge difference in our trip as first-time visitors to the city. Thanks for being a great host, Steve! "
1872960,12355575,2014-04-29,3742814,Matthew,Steven was an amazing host. He couldn't have been more helpful or friendly. The room was spotless. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood as well as being close to downtown. I can't recommend Steven strongly enough. 
1872960,14005727,2014-06-09,1221158,Tubale,"Steven is a great host. If you need a place in the area, I would highly recommend you book his place"
1872960,14140531,2014-06-12,1110434,Robert,Awesome place. Great location with access to everything central Steven was a Great host and very welcoming. Was finishing some upgrades on his house and did lots of extras to make my stay great. Neighborhood was great. Very quite at night and during the day.  Would stay there again without hesitation. 
1872960,14216365,2014-06-14,1110434,Robert,"Awesome just like the first time
"
1872960,15638147,2014-07-13,14600181,Logan,"This was my first airbnb stay, and it was great!
The house is very nice and comfortable.  Steven keeps the place very clean and well furnished.  The pictures are accurate!
The bed is very comfortable!
Steven was an excellent host.  I got a job in Austin, and stayed with him my first couple of weeks at the new job.  He helped me become familiar with the area and gave me a ton of tips about where to eat and shop.
I liked that he let me have alone time when I needed it but also was willing to have a couple great conversations!
The neighborhood is a more crowded and noisy than I expected, but I felt very safe.
10/10 would stay here again!"
1872960,16521609,2014-07-28,7051405,Anna,We had a great experience with Steven. The room was exactly as the pictures show and perfect for our trip. Everything was very clean. Steven was so helpful and always quick to give us suggestions. We agree that staying with Steven through Air B&B improved our experience and helped us discover some great places we wouldn't have known about otherwise (including some great BBQ)!
1872960,17565131,2014-08-14,2412250,Johanna,"I was very lucky to have booked a room in Steven's house for the first weeks of a longer, job-related stay in Austin. His place is very comfortable, clean and has cool art hanging or standing around (it looks exactly like on the pictures). The kitchen is perfectly equipped with all appliances and utensils you might need to cook up a great meal. The bed is super comfy and the bathroom is very clean and spacious. There is a garden in the backyard that I used to enjoy the sun and/or read in the shadow of a large tree.
Steven himself is a wonderful host who very much contributed to  my first weeks in Austin being a great experience. He was very welcoming, showed me places of interest like Mt Bonnell, is an expert on where to get fantastic food, and just in general helped me get familiar with Austin itself. He was also very supportive in my endeavors to find a place for the rest of my stay and made things just very easy for me. Thanks to him I have since my arrival felt at home in his place but also in Austin itself."
1872960,19293548,2014-09-09,20654620,David,Being my first time it was a positive experience. I found Steven to be a pleasant person and welcomed in his home. I would highly recommend him to friends and family. I thank Steven for having me. 
1872960,20119081,2014-09-23,3916187,Lawrence,"Steven was a great host during my 3 night stay.  He was attentive to all my questions, and provided some great suggestions on places to eat and hang out.  His entire home was well-kept and clean, and all amenities were as described on the listing.  The neighborhood is fairly close to most of my destinations (no more than 15 min drive) and was quiet both during the day and night.  Overall, I’m very happy with my stay, and would recommend Steven and his home for others."
1872960,20572213,2014-10-01,20158466,Caroline,"I had a great experience staying with Steve! His place is awesome, comfortable and clean. Steve was an excellent host and helped me feel welcome from the start. He had great suggestions for Austin that improved my trip. I would highly recommend staying here, and I would do so again if I return to Austin! "
1872960,20847492,2014-10-06,10830916,Genevieve,"I can't begin to tell you how satisfied we were with our stay. Steven was an amazing host! Even with our late arrival he was accommodating and available to great us. The home was spotless and had a nice modern feel to it; which Ieft you feeling as if you were staying at a boutique hotel. The room was spacious enough for two people with luggage to occupy it comfortably, and the the memory foam bed exceeded my expectations. The room amenities  included a TV, desk, dresser and a full length mirror. Steven made shower toiletries available to us, as well as towels and such. He was able to provide recommendations for restaurants and even had the local entertainment guide available to us.  Steven was a great host. He took the time to socialize and make us feel welcomed in his home. I look forward to staying at his home again."
1872960,21017313,2014-10-09,6524476,Jack,"Here for two nights, comfortable bed, clean room, friendly host, quiet and safe neighborhood. Convenient location. Strong value. hope to return. "
1872960,21200091,2014-10-13,19078457,Ivy,Steven was awesome! He knew all the local -good-to-know tips. Our stay was pleasant and very comfortable. Highly recommended!!
1872960,22747691,2014-11-13,19413728,Elliot,"Steven is an amazing host! I got in around dinner time and we went out together to get some fantastic food at one of the restaurants he goes to very regularly. He also gave me some great recommendations for breakfast/lunch/dinner which did not disappoint. 

The house was also very nice! Everything was exactly as described and pictured in the listing. The room was clean, comfortable and even had a nice desk with a t.v. 

Its location makes it really easy to get to anywhere in Austin within about 15 minutes which was very helpful for when I was pressed for time.

Would highly recommend staying here and next time I'm in Austin I know where I'll be looking first!"
1872960,22972991,2014-11-18,14126007,Allie,Steven is a kind and helpful host. We lucked out landing as his place for a weekend getaway in Austin. He knows the restaurants and was eager to help us with recommendations. Don't hesitate to stay with Steven!
1872960,23981525,2014-12-15,142776,Spencer,"Steven was the best AirBnB host I've ever had.  (And I've had many.)  Beyond being friendly and personable, he was super accommodating and helpful in ways that went beyond the pale.  From providing restaurant recommendations to supplying emergency toothpaste relief, this boy knows how to make you feel at home.  And lots of stuff to do on the Eastside now, so you're really not too far from the action.  Two enthusiastic thumbs up.  "
1872960,24127113,2014-12-20,19582716,Max,"Steven has a knack for hosting. He is communicative and thoughtful - everything is set-up at his home for a comfortable stay. I appreciated the detailed guide that Steven has put together, which covers everything from places to visit to recommended restaurants in the area to information regarding WIFI and TV. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and not too far a drive from downtown, shopping, and the airport. Would definitely consider staying again the next time I'm in Austin!"
1872960,24503061,2014-12-29,24640481,Xinjiang,"Steven is a really thoughtful host. The restaurant recommendations and his advice on how to travel around Austin is extremely helpful. I painted a jar and need an extra week for it to be cooked, Steven kindly offered his help to pick it up and mail it to me. I'd recommend anyone who love food staying at his place."
1872960,24874545,2015-01-03,6508560,Ianitt,"My stay at Steven's was super: his home is conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of available street parking. The room was very neat and accommodating. I traveled around Austin and was easily able to get downtown, to major highways, etc. As a host, Steven was great at communicating and was able to provide really helpful recommendations. He and his place are great for any visitor!"
1872960,25249561,2015-01-10,25372433,Shih,"This is my first time using Airbnb and I really lucked out.  Steven has been a great host.  Not only  was Steven  very attentive and accommodating, he went out of  way to help me with directions and recommendations.  He's also a great conversationalist and I felt like he's more of a friend rather than an AirBnB host.

I would definitely look Steven up next time I come to Austin.  "
1872960,25423849,2015-01-15,25754114,Jamie,"Everything was better than expected! Steven's place is super nice and clean and he could not have been more welcoming. I took some of his recommendations on food and they did not disappoint. Overall, I would highly recommend him and his house!"
1872960,25580136,2015-01-19,8288908,Kieran,"Steven's place is located in a good neighborhood in Austin, about 15-20 minutes away by car to good food, outdoors, and city culture. It was nice and quiet (even though some repairs were being done), the room has a lot of light or very little depending on if you use the shades, and I felt very comfortable in the living space.

Steven is an excellent host; he's very organized and easy to talk to. He's also very knowledgable about the area and his food recommendations are on point. Would definitely stay here again, and being here for almost a week was very pleasant."
1872960,25672659,2015-01-22,8288908,Kieran,Look for my review of the stay a day later. Feedback is the same. 
1872960,26382140,2015-02-10,10015598,Andrew,"Steven was great. Really fun to talk to and to have a laugh with. Cool, cool guy. Super helpful. Has so much to recommend about Austin. And he has a really lovely home. Also, I was really impressed with all the amenities. He really cares about helping people feel comfortable both in his home and in his city!  "
1872960,26724737,2015-02-17,27706597,Lauren,"Steven was an excellent host! He welcomed us to Austin and provided great recommendations to help us explore the town. The house is about a $10 uber ride to downtown, and an easy drive from the airport. The room was clean and Steven provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Also, for this trip we used instant booking, which took the stress off of finding a place last minute."
1872960,27038192,2015-02-23,19347233,Christian,Steven was a great host and very easy to work with. Overall a great experience and would definitely stay here again.
1872960,27739591,2015-03-10,3958322,Carolyn,"I had a great stay at Steven's home in NE Austin!  He welcomed me on the first night and showed me around the accomodations. He provided a fantastic list of not only restaurants and food trucks to try out (which were the majority of my recommendations from friends and family) but also things to do and see in Austin (which i was looking for since I wanted to experience the city and the surrounding area). The housemates were very friendly and the accomodations were clean and comfortable. Overall, great experience!"
1872960,28075783,2015-03-17,16821744,Morgan,"Steven was very communicative and helpful, he had nice print-outs of restaurants and the like. The place was also very clean and he was very curious with noise. "
1872960,28280057,2015-03-21,27968812,Stadium,"Home was great. Aesthetic was pleasing. Both owners were kind and hospitable. Had some plans changed last minute and they were open to it. Had a great time. 
"
1872960,28572460,2015-03-26,27263637,W. Kathleen,Steven was especially kind and helpful to me in all phases of getting settled.  I really appreciated his help in walking me through my very first Airbnb experience.

1872960,30363750,2015-04-20,14482220,John,"Unlike most AirBnB stays, my host was very attentive and had a list of events going on during the whole week of my stay, with restaurants, music events, outdoor activities, and much more. My room was everything described online and more. I had my own tv or I could use it as a monitor. He supplied Netflix and Amazon Fire. The bed was super comfortable and the room was just how I like it temperature wise; comfortable during the day and chill at night for perfect deep sleep. (Not too cold, just perfect!)
The house was opened to me with my own key to get in and I had my own bathroom to use. 
Steve was an amazing host and great to rent from. He is very personable and fun. He even met up with me after work one day to have some food and wine! That's a Super Star Status Host!!!"
1872960,31561222,2015-05-06,30019748,Matt,"Steven was a great host. Very helpful and friendly, especially for people new to Austin like me, because of all the tips he provided. 

The place was nice and clean, had no issues at all. Parking was easy, was able to get in easy, bathroom and kitchen were great and always clean."
1872960,31621716,2015-05-07,30019748,Matt,I left a review earlier about my stay with Steven but I would also like to add that he was flexible for my change in schedule... I was really appreciative of that.
1872960,31773004,2015-05-10,27810157,Qian,"My first Airbnb experience was great. Steven was very nice and responsive that he always replied to my message fast. He also provided me lots of tips on restaurants and POIs of Austin which I found really helpful. The house was easy to enter by using the instructions he gave and in a very clean manner. 
It was a pity that didn't get to meet Steven in person but he was reachable for the whole time I was there and responded to my questions quickly. "
1872960,32683232,2015-05-20,7813689,Hobart,Steven was awesome with communication before arrival and answered every question I had. His house and your room were very clean and the bed was very comfy.   Steven was great to talk to and left printouts of things to do and places to eat!!  Word to wise visit Mt Bonnell. Very cool!  Would love to go back to Austin. Maybe see a Longhorns game and some more Franklin BBQ!!!  
1872960,34678546,2015-06-10,2267387,Karen,"Steve was great, made me feel right at home. Gave me lots of tips on Austin. The place was clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable."
1872960,35346340,2015-06-17,30457002,Ben,Stevens place was amazing. Everything looked so clean we thought the place was brand new! Steven also provides many great recommendations for food and activities in Austin. Would definitely stay here again!
1872960,35989643,2015-06-23,30019748,Matt,"This is my second time staying with Steven, and I came back because he was an outstanding host the first time around. Nothing changed this time around, he continued to be as helpful as ever. I would recommend Steven last time and I'm recommending him again! 

He's especially helpful if you're new to Austin with his lists of things to do and places to eat, and he's knowledgeable and friendly, just ask and he'll help! "
1872960,38231901,2015-07-13,23717884,Matthew,"The house was very comfortable and well decorated. The house was clean and well maintained.
 Steven was very helpful in suggesting things to do in the city and provided a list of places to eat, to see, and things to do.
The house is about 15-20 minutes from downtown in a quiet neighborhood.
Overall, a nice visit and will most likely stay there again if ever in Austin."
1872960,38569368,2015-07-16,37526974,Cory,It was a nice place to stay. Very clean and Stephen was forthcoming and available. I would recommend him to anybody.
1872960,39120700,2015-07-20,33346102,Dragan,"The room was nice and clean, the bed and pillows were perfect and everything else was just like in the listing description. The check in and out processes were very smooth and quick, even though Steven wasn't present at the time of both. But what the description can't show properly is how helpful Steven was in answering all my questions about Austin and exploring its music scene; thanks to Steven, I went to   the right place to start and it just went better further on. Also, if you're looking for places with really good food, listen to Steven, he really knows about it. Finally, I really enjoyed having casual conversation with Steven (once we both had time) about everything: job, music, politics, Austin IT scene...
I had overall a great stay in Austin and Steven is considerably responsible for that."
1872960,39353966,2015-07-22,23384943,Lena,"Steven was a wonderful host. His home is clean and peaceful in a nice residential neighborhood. This was my first stop in Austin, and right away Steven made me feel at home and made sure I got to the supermarket and to my first day of school. Great kitchen, kind host, super comfortable bed = excellent stay. Walking distance to tacos and Mexican grocery, and bus line on Manor Rd."
1872960,40517826,2015-07-31,25520031,Melbs,"Place was fantastic, even better than advertised. Steven is super nice, super laid back and made me feel like family, even taking me out briefly for a nice authentic Austin dinner!

The house was very clean with great decor (recently remodeled), and the bedroom was comfortable."
1872960,41014984,2015-08-03,39525532,Asish,"This was our first time booking a place through Airbnb and we couldn't have asked for better host than Steven. 1st of all he was very quick to respond and provide a good pre-arrival information that I needed to know. When we got there little later than we expected he was waiting for us and gave a tour of his place. Steven's place is very clean, tidy and well-maintained which made our stay there very pleasant and enjoyable. He was very helpful when we needed some recommendation regarding places to visit and eat. We tried the places he recommended and loved them. We had a really good time during our stay at his place in Austin and Steven made that possible. He was very easy to talk to and ask for anything. He provided us with all necessary amenities and didn't had to ask for anything. I would recommend Steven to anyone who is looking for a place to stay in Austin and having good time while feeling comfortable."
1872960,41529009,2015-08-07,40307655,Areebah,Steven was a perfect host.  This was my first airbnb experience and the bar is set high.  We were provided with everything we needed to stay (website hidden) house was very clean and Steven gave us great local recommendations of sights and good food. Plus the house is a short drive downtown with ample parking out front.  Highly recommend staying here if you can!
1872960,42437562,2015-08-13,3715182,Randy,"Steven is a great host!  His place was impeccably clean, organized, and he provided everything a traveler could want.   He was friendly and happy to offer suggestions for local eateries, etc.  "
1872960,45529823,2015-09-03,42412438,Ben,"Steven was an awesome host. He was really nice when I first arrived and was helpful throughout the stay. He knows ALOT about Austin and gave me great advice on places to eat, run and even where to live!

The room was really clean and I highly recommend this place!!!!

1872960,46244057,2015-09-08,8976409,Amy,Steve was a wonderful host! He came to the rescue with a last min change in travel plans and was very enjoyable to be with. Would stay with him anytime!
1872960,46851096,2015-09-13,33196945,Brittany,"Steven's place was easy to get to, very secure. I like how he had a code to get in, the room was great and the bed was comfortable, he had Apple TV set up which was cool. He had everything labeled and instructions so I didn't have many questions! Great experience for my first air bnb "
1872960,47929857,2015-09-21,44304753,Brian,"Steven was friendly and a great host, providing written details about the area, a clean house, and even extra supplies in the bathroom.  5 stars. "
1872960,48838146,2015-09-28,647644,Christophe,"Steven was incredibly accommodating, offering awesome suggestions about Austin. The room was very comfortable and private. Planning on staying again in the near future. "
1872960,49776365,2015-10-06,39983175,Matt,Our experience in Austin was great and we totally have Steven to thank for it.  The house was great and extremely clean.  Everything was exactly how Steven described it.  He had great suggestions on really good local food and gave us directions to a lot of the local hot spots. Steven was a great host and I would totally 100% recommend him to anyone visiting Austin
1872960,50545901,2015-10-12,42393283,Camise,"As pictured, as described, and oh so clean! Steven is a top-notch host! He was accommodating, personable, and easy to communicate with. I truly appreciated the amount of information/organization he had ready in the room: great food recommendations, ideas for getting around Austin and places to see/things to do depending on how much time you have.  I took Uber and Lyft multiple times from his place - $16 to downtown, very reasonable. $6-7  to some neighboring grocery stores/food areas.  There is a YMCA less than 2 miles away with a really great running/biking nature trail behind it (Walnut Creek Trail). I would definitely stay here again!"
1872960,50709033,2015-10-13,6786370,Cecilia,"It was an absolute joy to stay with Steven - he made me feel at home and was great to spend time with. Steven's house is very neat and clean and I was welcome to use his well equipped kitchen, living room and garden. He also gave me great advise on things to see and do in Austin. He is well travelled and a knowledgable and interesting person. I would highly recommend his place to anyone visiting Austin. "
1872960,50998841,2015-10-16,6786370,Cecilia,It was so great I stayed with Steven twice in one week!
1872960,51410101,2015-10-19,11733298,Jørgen,"A very good host that makes you feel very welcome! Clean place with your own bathroom and a comfortable bed. The location is not downtown, so you need a car or be willing to take Uber. Would definitely consider staying here again if I ever go back to Austin!"
1872960,52144925,2015-10-26,18974602,Eleanor,"Steven is a true Superhost!  He made me feel very welcome, talking me through arrival, leaving a guide to the area and talking me through any questions I had.
The house is lovely, in a residential area so quiet.
The room is perfect, enough space, comfortable bed, and access to a clean bathroom.
It's about a 15 min drive/uber ride out of downtown (I never paid more than $13 for an uber)
Would definitely recommend for a stay in Austin!  Thank you so much for your hospitality this weekend!"
1542779,6833355,2013-08-26,2851019,Ed,"very neat & clean home. Nice, quiet, neighborhood in very convenient location providing easy and quick access to downtown Austin. Chalu is a delightful host who makes great Tacos."
1542779,8829925,2013-11-19,2198825,Nitin,Chalu was a great host. The place was really nice and clean and in a safe neighborhood. It was my first time in Austin and she suggested me great places to check out in the city and we hung out as well one evening. I would highly recommend this place if anyone is traveling around there and is looking for a place.
1542779,11422684,2014-04-01,13281374,Edgar,I enjoyed my stay at Chalu's. The place was clean and having access to a kitchen was great. She communicates well and is respectful of her guests' needs and privacy. Highly recommended.
1542779,11773121,2014-04-14,13856828,Sandra,"I enjoyed my stay at Chalu's place.  I had a very nice and clean room with everything I  needed for a weekend stay.  I was a little worried about sharing a bathroom with guys who stayed there as well.  But, I did not encounter any bad things and the guys were really cool.  Chalu, thank you for sharing your home.  I enjoyed Milo too.  I felt right at home as soon as I walked in.

This was my first time using Airbnb and certainly not my last.  I would love to stay at Chalu's place again."
1542779,11874970,2014-04-17,13976413,Danny,I was surprised that there were 4 rooms for rent in the same home which I was not aware of and the host was not there as well which made for an uncomfortable situation to share one house with 4 strangers. Not feeling comfortable with the situation I left and rented a hotel room.
1542779,18961785,2014-09-03,20168712,Andrew,"Chalu was a great host and I felt very welcome there. Overall, the place was very nice with a modern appeal and relaxing ambiance. The bedrooms were also tidy and cozy. The place is fully equipped for any quests needs (e.g. washer/dryer, parking, linens, etc.). The location of the place allowed easy access to anywhere around Austin via 183, I-35, or 290. If going the Airbnb route, for a comfortable stay in Austin I would recommend staying with Chalu."
1542779,19584369,2014-09-14,1184649,Sean,"I contacted Chalu as one of a handful of last minute requests for a place to crash in Austin, she was the only one that could accommodate me.  Everything was seamless - she communicated very well and all went just as she explained, even though I checked in ""after hours"". Her house is in an older but nice little neighborhood tucked away off of 290, it's super simple to jump right onto 290, 35, or 183.  Everything was very clean and all labeled in the house so there was no guessing, the bed was comfy and the place was very quiet! I got to meet Chalu in person before I left in the morning...she is friendly and cheerful and very helpful, as was evident by her assisting an overseas guest of hers with rental car details. I would definitely stay with her again! "
1542779,19974182,2014-09-21,9584880,Paul,"Staying at Chalu's place was a pleasure. She responded quickly whenever I had questions, and was there to greet my girlfriend and I when we arrived. I loved that she provided a list of fun things to do in Austin. The house was gorgeous, clean, and quiet. Absolutely no complaints.

In short - Chalu is a wonderful host, and staying at her place is a no brainer if you're in Austin."
1542779,21646462,2014-10-20,22652404,Daniel,"Chalu was a fantastic host.  She put in a great deal of effort to make sure we were comfortable in the house and around Austin.  The room was exactly as described, clean and comfortable.  

Clean towels available, beers in the fridge, keys and locks for the room doors to help feel secure... Not that you would need it.  The neighborhood was great and felt like a very safe environment.

Would 100% recommend to a friend."
1542779,21865472,2014-10-25,12928115,Emily,"I needed a quick place to crash on the fly, and Chalu, with her prompt replies and excellent setup (keypad on the garage, pre-typed instruction notes in the mailbox, ID tags on each bedroom door), made it happen for me. The place was clean and quiet, and the bed was super comfy. Everything  a girl could ask for!"
1542779,22482177,2014-11-07,23418792,Elizabeth Anne,Only stayed one night but it was a comfortable stay. Booked the place about 3-4 hours before checking in. The place was clean and comfy. Chalu was quick to reply to questions and first to reach out after booking providing confidence that all would be ready for my short arrival. Thank you Chalu!
1542779,22812414,2014-11-15,23415433,Nicholas,"Chalu did everything (within reason) she could to make me feel comfortable.  Her place was easy to find, clean, nicely appointed and well-equipped.  She's friendly, but not chatty, and I felt welcomed from the get-go.  The bed was comfortable and there was even a 0TV in the room.  I stayed for 8 nights and by the end, almost felt like I lived there!  My travel plans changed several times during the trip, which kinda stressed me out, but the house is so comfortable, it almost didn't matter.
Great find.  Awesome hostess!"
1542779,26540583,2015-02-15,26309819,Robert,"Chalu has a very nice space. Everything was provided including cooking equipment, cable TV, and laundry facilities. In addition, she allowed me to park in the driveway and even gave me a garage opener to enter and exit the house. 

Beyond that, she is a very gracious host. She was nice enough to take me on a run near the river and to show me around some Austin hot spots. Her recommendations for places to visit were great and really helped orient me with the city. 

The only thing I would recommend is that she raise her prices. Her accommodations go well beyond the offering of any hotels. Great to get started in an awesome city!"
1542779,28435713,2015-03-23,108159,Leon,This was a great place to stay.  Nice quiet neighborhood.  Comfortable accommodations.  The room was larger than expected.  And you couldn't ask for a better host than Chalu.  HINT: take her tips about great places to eat in Austin!  Thanks Chalu.
1542779,28692335,2015-03-28,10664875,Damon,"Chalu's place was very clean and comfortable, and the instructions to access the property were given to me in advanced time which made things simple and easy. The location is a short drive to the freeway and then only a 10 minute or less drive to downtown. I will be coming back to stay at Chalu's in the near future!"
1542779,33205758,2015-05-25,33897815,Erik,"Chalu was very accommodating and helpful even though our schedules didn't line up.  Nice, quiet neighborhood that was within easy reach of all of Austin."
1542779,38082753,2015-07-12,12901747,Cynthia,"Chula was great.  Communicating was easy and she responded quickly to questions. The place was very clean, bed was very comfortable.  Great location to get around Austin.  Definitely a good place to stay in ATX"
1542779,45806204,2015-09-06,2627173,Andrew,"Chalu was great!  As the other reviewers say, she was more than just a host, but invited me to hang with her friends and meet new people!  The house / room are even better than the picture shows.  Highly recommended!"
1542779,46664395,2015-09-12,42870454,Kalyan,"This was my first time with AIRBNB and I totally love it. Chalu's place was exactly as mentioned and it was better than expected with a lot of facilities. Liked the hospitality and chalu is very friendly and kind. Felt homely staying here, one more advantage is that the place is very close to downtown. Definitely gonna recommend this to my friends. 5 stars from me :-)"
1542779,48353573,2015-09-25,26443163,Zach,"This stay came up at the very last minute, so there was less than 24 hours notice, and then my work schedule left me with almost no time to socialize, but Chalu made it a Perfect stay!. I was able to get checked in with no trouble, and the room was perfect. I only managed to connect with Chalu through texts  but she was very friendly and would definitely like to come back for a longer stay in the future. 5 out of 5 stars!"
5631123,32952204,2015-05-23,34011362,Christopher,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
714023,2795930,2012-11-03,3967960,Valerie,"Nannette was an outstanding host! This was our first trip to Austin and she was very helpful in guiding us through the city and pointing us in the right direction. The location great, really charming neighborhood and a cheap cab ride to downtown. The house is really spacious and comfortable, there's a really cool wrap around deck that was nice to enjoy breakfast at. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a chill place close to everything and good company. We left Austin with great memories and a new friend. Thanks for popping our Airbnb cherry, Nannette!"
714023,2929983,2012-11-20,3780585,Prashant,"I was there only one day, but the Room was great!! Nannette was a great host!"
714023,3109931,2012-12-17,4400491,Anna,Nanette is a great host.I would love to come back!
714023,3763039,2013-03-12,1589197,Nate,Nannette and her housemates were incredible hosts! They had fresh sheets and towels ready for us and loads of helpful maps and info on Austin. And the house is really lovely. Would definitely recommend!
714023,3820622,2013-03-18,4979475,David,"Nannette was an awesome host. Very helpful and showed us a good time in Austin!! Great house, great location!! Had a super time all round. 
"
714023,7921526,2013-10-08,8577369,Zhuopin,We stayed over ACL weekend. The room was nice and clean. The location was perfect- less than 30mins walk to Zilker park. Our host and everyone else in the house were nice too. Had a wonderful time!
714023,8676812,2013-11-11,7827048,Dawn,Nanette was very sweet. The bedroom was clean and comfortable. She even offered us breakfast our first morning. The location is really perfect. Quick access to bike trails and activities. 
714023,8815381,2013-11-19,9094855,Brock,"My Brother and I visited Austin, TX in November and had a blast! We came in on a Thursday night and were greeted by Nannette and her roommates. Having a private room at Nannette's place made the trip complete. She provided us with the ins and outs of downtown Austin and even lent me her bicycle. The place is clean and the bed was made each day. I slept on the pullout and gave my brother the nice bed. The pullout was great. No springs in back and I slept like a baby every night. I can't stress it enough: if you're traveling to Austin, TX and need a great place to stay that's steps from downtown, clean, cozy, and is filled with great people give Nannette a phone call.  "
714023,8962271,2013-11-28,1377793,Billy,"This was my first time using Airbnb, but it was a great way to start because Nannette is a terrific host. Although I didn't meet her in person during my stay, she was consistently proactive in keeping in touch with me to provide any pertinent information that I needed. She was also super helpful in offering suggestions of things to do while I was in Austin. Also, her housemates were really great; they were very friendly and welcoming, everyone made me feel at home during my stay. 

As far as the house and the room goes, it was awesome - very clean and comfortable all around. And the location is super convenient, lots of stuff to see and do within a relatively short distance. 

I would definitely recommend Nannette's place to anyone visiting Austin, and I would happily stay there again the next time I visit that wonderful city. "
714023,18844919,2014-09-01,10396402,Sam,"Just the best! Cutest house, within walking distance to everything, and super friendly hosts! Loved every minute of it...certainly recommend this spot to any traveler coming through :) "
714023,19169478,2014-09-07,15134804,Dawn,"My boyfriend & I stayed @ Nannette's home for 2 nights while Nannette was out of town.  We never met Nannette, but we slept in her bedroom, which does not appear to be the one in the AirBnB photo, but it didn't matter.  The room was spacious, clean & quiet - nothing super fancy, but comfortable enough.  The air conditioning was turned on pretty much the whole time we were there (thank you roommates!), which was essential, given the stifling heat & humidity.  There are also ceiling fans in each part of the house.  Nannette has three roommates (1 female in one of the rooms, and a male/female couple in another room) who were each kind & friendly but left us alone for the most part.  One of the roommates, Erin, stayed up late awaiting our arrival.  She gave us a tour of the house immediately, and told us that we can help ourselves to their coffee & coffee maker in the mornings.  Another roommate (the guy - I forget his name) gave us GREAT advice on where to get Austin's best BBQ (""La Barbecue"" - thank you!).  There are 3 dogs & 1 cat who are all friendly & adorable.  The bathroom is spotless and we never had any issues with sharing it.  
The location of the house was really convenient for us.  It's on an easily accessible, quiet street with a real 'neighborhoody' & safe feel.  There are only a couple bars/restaurants within walking distance, but we had a rental car.  All the nightlife, restaurants & shops are a 3 minute - 15 minute drive/Uber ride away depending on where you want to go.  Nannette's house has that old charm that you only find in the south.  There's a beautiful wrap-around porch.  We didn't get a chance to enjoy the backyard, but maybe next time.  
We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitiely return if we need to stay in Austin again!"
714023,20032560,2014-09-22,20443830,Gloria,"Nanette and her roomates were very accommodating, and the house was nicely decorated, the air conditioning and ceiling fans kept us cooI. Coffee was made in the morning I felt right at home.  I got to meet Fera, Nanette's Husky dog, with blue eyes.  Fera took a liking to me and I walked her everyday.  Erin let me borrow her bike and I went riding around the neighborhood and to Whole Foods market.   We had a wedding to attend so our time in Austin was limited.  The neighborhood was quiet, with restaurants and shops nearby. Hope to see them again.  Thanks to all for your hospitality."
714023,20828353,2014-10-06,19302480,Jimmy,"Thank you so much for such a great stay. I only got to meet two of the three roommates who were in town, but both were very welcoming. This place is a gem."
714023,21339774,2014-10-15,3037165,Anne & Paul,"We had a lovely time at Nannette's. The house itself is beautiful and also nicely located in a very charming area of Austin. We felt very at home and welcome, Nannette (and her roommates) helped us out with recommendations and everything else we needed, also they let us borrow their bikes which was such a great thing because that way we got around easily and had so much fun exploring the city. Thanks again, very much! Would definitely recommend staying here!"
714023,23128355,2014-11-23,92342,Ashley,"Nan's house in Clarksville was absolutely perfect for our stay! She gets an Austin local's 5 star approval. Her roommates were super cool, the decor and overall energy was welcoming and the location can't be beat. Hoping to stay again on my next trip home. "
714023,25291085,2015-01-11,13072414,Rachel,"My friend & I stayed at Nannette's home for Friday and Saturday night. We never met Nannette, but we slept in her bedroom, which is not the room pictured. The room was spacious enough for two people with a comfy bed. It sadly, was freezing while we were in Austin (25-35 F), and thankfully the roommates turned on the heat. Nannette has three roommates that greeted us when we arrived around 9 PM on a Friday night (1 female in one of the rooms, and a male/female couple in another room). They gave us a tour of the house and answered our questions about Austin when we first arrived. We never saw them again over the course of the weekend, which was completely okay with us for our specific weekend plans. The location of the house was really convenient for us to catch an Uber ride to Rainy, South Congress and East and West 6th Street. I would absolutely stay here again. "
714023,25532694,2015-01-18,25661447,Kristina,"The house and hood are typical ""old Austin"" charm- a great old house with big windows and porches, great light. Everyone in the house was very friendly and welcoming. It was a very easy place to stay."
714023,26916026,2015-02-22,25703725,Erin,Great hosts! Great location! Comfortable room! Had a great experience & a very fun time in Austin. Nannette and her roommates were super nice & Nannette gave great recommendations for activites and dining. 
714023,27294020,2015-03-01,6981945,Santiago,"Nannette and her flatmates were very welcoming, the room was everything we expected it to be (clean, comfortable, and private),  and the kitchen and back patio were a definite plus.  Also, for anyone interested in nightlife, an Uber cost us 4-6 dollars to get to downtown, and back. In other words, a very good location. 10/10 would definitely repeat. "
714023,27677669,2015-03-09,2831421,Janet,"Nannette was very friendly and made us feel welcome in her home. Great neighborhood, close to downtown and local restaurants. "
714023,28159480,2015-03-19,92342,Ashley,"Nannette'e adorable Clarksville dream home is one of my favorite airbnbs ever! As an original Austinite, I want to live like a local when I visit my hometown and Nannette's room just does the trick. Her roommates are great, the back porch is perfect (it opens up directly from her bedroom!) and the location can't be beat - especially if you're cycling around town. My only feedback is that I wish her dog was around more ;) Can't wait to stay next time I get back to Texas. "
714023,28382620,2015-03-23,9522740,Brad,"Nannette and her roommates were fantastic.  They went out of their way to help us and check in to make sure we had everything that we needed.  They were great hosts.  

To be perfectly honest, the house and the bathrooms were not the cleanest in the world and things didn't really live up to the pictures...but that's ok.  The room was a few hundred dollars less per night than any hotel in the area, so it was still a great deal.  "
714023,28733046,2015-03-29,3643457,Megan,"This is a lovely home and a great deal. It was clean and full of charm. Nannette was super helpful, and her roommates were very nice. It's a great choice for an affordable good location in Austin."
7787435,42802287,2015-08-15,20002945,Duy,Justin and his wife were great and very accommodating. I felt very comfortable staying at their home and they did a great job providing everything we needed! Their two kids and dogs were also fantastically adorable
7787435,43196101,2015-08-17,7311110,Sawn,Justin and his wife was very welcoming and hospitable with us. Coming and going was very easy. The room was very big and comfy as well. I definitely recommend staying here.
7787435,43723915,2015-08-21,41674637,Mathews,Me and two of my friends stayed at Justin's place for one night. He was a great host and made sure we were as comfortable as possible. His dogs are really fun to play with and his kids are adorable. Overall I loved the stay and really liked the neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone is planning on a short stay near Austin.
7787435,43885291,2015-08-22,26762987,Khanh,"Justin was very welcoming and had a good time interacting with him and his family. The room was as described, clean, comfortable. Nice safe neighborhood.
The location is very near to a very good Texas bbq food truck called Valentina's which Justin had suggested. 
I would definitely come back. "
7787435,44065348,2015-08-23,35874909,Anna,Justin's place was comfy and the bedroom was clean and ready to go. We arrived late at night and Justin's wife was very friendly even though we made the house alarm go off. Their children and dog are adorable. 
7787435,44244915,2015-08-24,27693886,Maria,Justin was great! when we first got there we were greeted and welcomed by his wife and family. the location was ideal close to downtown and overall we had a nice experience in their home.  
7787435,45029967,2015-08-30,24592077,Evelyn,I wasn't able to meet him before the concert I attended but he gave me the key code to his house and I saw him and his lady then. They both were very nice and welcoming especially since we got to their place late. The room was cozy and perfect for a night to crash. Everything was advertised correctly and the price was great. I recommend it!
7787435,45207415,2015-08-31,42535517,Karina,"The place was nice. It was good for what we needed!
Justin was very flexible and really chill! 
Didn't have a problem.
THANKS JUSTIN!"
7787435,45723761,2015-09-05,13044748,Robert,"Justin was a great host, very friendly and welcoming! The room was quite nice, with plenty of room and good lighting, both natural and not. I was on personal business nearby, so the location was perfect for my needs! It's a very nice and quiet neighborhood, but still only minutes by car to pretty much all of Austin. Thanks!"
7787435,45888832,2015-09-06,610470,Izzy,Justin was super cool and very accommodating! My friends and I had a great stay at this place. Highly recommended :)

7787435,46841009,2015-09-13,43632153,Stephanie,"Justin was truly a great host. We made arrangements with him prior to our trip for our check in and check out times and he was really flexable. We only met him twice, we actually had the whole house to ourselves most of the time which was really nice. Either way his wife and children were very friendly and their dogs didnt bother us at all, in fact they very welcoming and well behaved. The room was comfy as well. Lots of closet space and the room itself was just right. The bed was good for sleeping, not entirely comfortable (it sank in somewhat) but it definately did its job. Overall that was the only issue, if at all it is an issue to you, we had during our stay. We give 5 Stars, and totally want to stay here again. Thanks again Justin! We loved it!!!!!!"
7787435,47329058,2015-09-17,41099600,Judee,Had a great stay! Justin and his wife are very warming friendly and hospitable.

7787435,48119089,2015-09-23,42427591,Faye,Justin was a great host. He makes his home completely available to his guests -- I felt like I was at home. We arrived late at night and he was very accommodating. Cute dogs!
7787435,48916566,2015-09-29,6689862,Molara,"the space was exactly what the listing looked like. it was really easy to get around to places; we went towards Lady Bird Lake, Barton Springs, and Zilker Park and they were all less than 15 minutes away. a good location for exploring austin at a good price!"
7787435,49785856,2015-10-06,37732914,Tamara,"Justin was a great host... the room was very clean and it was exactly what we expected, we had a great weekend there, it's a very good location and the dogs are adorable, Highly recomended!!"

7787435,50454188,2015-10-12,41301169,Calli,"The neighborhood was in a good area and the room looks exactly like the picture. Justin was very nice and allowed us access to kitchen, living room, etc. we stayed during ACL and it was nice to be able to come home to this quaint house. I definitely recommend booking here if you don't mind driving a little bit to get to the center of everything in Austin! "
7787435,51233924,2015-10-18,46418834,Rodney,Great first time experience with Airbnb! We arrived late at night and the host was very accommodating. The room looks just as pictured and was perfect for our one night stay.

7787435,51682905,2015-10-22,47059868,Will,Justin welcomed us right into his home. The room was clean and exactly as described. The neighborhood was great the food truck right around the corner was amazing.

4678565,25650884,2015-01-21,26074295,Em,"I dropped my folks off at this airbnb in the late afternoon, and Pixie had left a welcome gift of wine and cider, along with a charming note in the typewriter by the front door (my mum is a poet, so she was delighted). My parents were really happy with the amount of natural light, the quiet, the kaleidoscope of books throughout his home, and the sweeping sense of privacy, even being so close to the center of the city.  

Pixie was an incredibly gracious host and hooked them up with internet as soon as they arrived, showed my mum how to use the washer, and made everyone tea. He was happy to answer their questions, and suggested places to visit. He also offered to get out of their hair if they wanted to relax and unwind but they didn't want him to leave because he made it feel like they were visiting friends! Having such a lovely, happy dog wriggling around looking for love just sealed the deal. When we went out to dinner, they invited both of them to come along and it was a wonderful time, as so many places in Austin are dog-friendly, and Texas is just SO much warmer than the Northeast in January.

10/10 would visit again."
4678565,25949038,2015-01-30,26821820,Cory,"This delightful retreat is exactly as it claims to be; Joy and Light in the Heart of Austin!

Joy and Light: 

The moment you walk through the doors of this humble abode you're treated to an eclectic mix of vibrant colors from room to room that tie the home together, as well as little nostalgic trinkets that nest throughout that will have you feeling like you're on a treasure hunt for the duration of your stay. 

I walked through the doors to find a nice note on the typewriter that read ""Enjoy your stay!,"" and I continued to explore and found that the kitchen was an inviting yellow color, fit for an aspiring chef; cookbooks and tools that ranged from couscous and croutons to donuts and beer! The orange dining room had a wide range of books that seemed to be just a warm up for the library-to-come. The living room is set up in such a way that you could fully relax with a number of beautiful plants, open windows, and a door that leads to a wooden patio out back, all while enjoying a good film or some solid tunes! That's right, there are Sonos speakers throughout the house. Anywhere you go, including the upstairs master bathroom, you can take Dylan, or your artist of choice, with you. And if the fresh air and the patio happen to be your thing, call dibs on the gorgeous blue bedroom downstairs immediately so you can walk through the sliding glass door in the morning to enjoy your cup of coffee with the sunrise!

The upstairs is explorer's dream. Right at the top is what I would like to call the Bat Cave; a simple windowless room with a few nice pictures that only needs a match to light a candle and complete it. Down the hallway is the library! If you enjoy a good book, you will not be lacking in options. On the other side of the well-placed book shelves is the master bedroom; a quaint white room with a comfortable bed and a wall paper pattern that you'll have no choice but to smile at... That's a surprise I'll leave for you to uncover! The bathroom upstairs is a gorgeous modern treat that leaves you with the options of a hot shower, or a jet-tub that is only missing a bottle of champagne! And, again there are tunes.

The Heart of Austin:

Located down South! In my opinion, this is where Austin is. Escape the city and the school, and explore new local dives and gastro pubs. If you're looking for the film and music scene, there are no shortages. Start your day with a cup of coffee or beer at Radio coffee shop, enjoy a nice lunch at the new tapas bar, Barlatta, head over for a movie at the South Lamar Drafthouse, and end the day at a nice food truck, and a sea of bars with good folks!

This is the place to be.

4678565,26236898,2015-02-07,158212,Alex,"Clean, large, and beautiful space, and very straightforward, welcoming host! More books than I could read in a lifetime.Thanks!
"
4678565,26290542,2015-02-08,116680,Thomas,"Pixie is such a nice guy and I couldn't have had a better 1st experience then with him. I should have done my homework and asked more questions before I dove right in. Lucky for me, we worked out the  issues and it was a pleasure dealing with an understanding awesome guy.  His home is really nice too and so clean, I felt safe and welcomed  once I got inside."
4678565,26771236,2015-02-18,27913074,Bobby,"Great place and hosts!! Located close to great restaurants/bars. The house was very clean with your own private bathroom, towels etc. Hosts were warm and accommodated my crazy travel schedule. They even had some guitars I could play.I can't wait to get back to Austin and stay with Pixie again. 

"
4678565,27479570,2015-03-05,26210265,Mark,"Pixie made his space even better! It has been such a pleasure visiting once again.  I don't know when I'll have another chance to return to Austin,  but I will surely remember to look for this fantastic space and awesome people."
4678565,28193492,2015-03-19,1035250,Zey,"Pixie's home is a real retreat from the hustle and bustle of SXSW. The property is spotless, bright, quiet, homey and very comfortable. The decor is also super cute. Pixie was also a superb host! He treated us to some homemade quinoa, which was a delicious and nutritious alternative to all of the bbq we had been eating out all week! 

I would definitely recommend this property!"
4678565,28729049,2015-03-29,6949806,Candice,"Pixie has a lovely, comfortable home and was a tremendous and friendly host. I would absolutely recommend his listing to anyone who wants a quiet, comfortable stay in Austin. A group of friends and I rented Pixie's home for a night with the goal of getting together to catch up in a house that could sleep all of us. We all of us agreed that we couldn't have picked a better place to do it. At the start of the evening the house was filled sunshine, color, music. By evening we were enjoyed a cool night on a patio and then retired to very comfortable beds. The house was easy to navigate to and in a very quiet neighborhood. "
4678565,28857733,2015-03-30,20823689,Kristopher Aaron,"A cozy room in a quiet neighborhood.  I arrived later than expected and Pixie was ultra accommodating.  The room was very welcoming with a private bath and extensive library.  There were neat little welcoming touches as well... There were Raspberries by the bed and a fun little welcome note tucked into a vintage typewriter.  When I return to Austin to visit in a few months, I'll certainly seek this place out again.  "
4678565,30744314,2015-04-26,31737161,Amro,"Pixie's house was very welcoming and accommodating.  It added that extra touch on a great weekend trip to Austin. My girlfriend and I used some of his food suggestions that he left us in a scrapbook and they were delicious.  The bathroom was very very nice and spacious as well as the bedroom area.  I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the city, definitely set the bar high for my first airbnb experience."
4678565,31262410,2015-05-03,32072377,Jordan,Had a great stay! An awesome property and great people.
4678565,31667433,2015-05-08,31363591,Nicholas,"Just a fantastic visit.  The description and photos are perfect representation of Pixie's beautiful home.  He was welcoming and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable.  His home is located in a great part of South Austin that's close to tons of restaurants and other things to do.

I had a great stay.  I can't recommend it enough."
4678565,31860978,2015-05-10,15698037,Nam,"Pixie is an amazing host. Incredibly friendly and down to earth! If you're a literature lover -- or even a Calvin and Hobbes fanatic -- Pixie's literature collection is phenomenal! 

We needed an extra bed, and Pixie was able to accommodate us and set up the extra bed while we were out. He gave fantastic recommendations for activities, food, and adventure. 

The place is gorgeous as well ... comfortable beds, clean, bright, warm, spacious, and if you're into good music/acoustics/consider yourself an audiophile ... there are Sonos speakers in most rooms! 
 
I've never stayed at a better AirBnB nor have had a better host. Pixie .. you've set the bar high!!! "
4678565,32295524,2015-05-16,33128904,Robert,"My Stay was everything I could have asked for and more. Great hosts and the location is in such a prime part of Austin. A great place and I will definitly be staying here again when I come back to Austin!!!

....It also comes with great, well behaved dogs! "
4678565,32628159,2015-05-19,1552611,Smitty,"Five Stars!!!  Highly recommend ""Light & Joy"" with the host Pixie in Austin Texas.  Every photo is accurate of what the space appears in person, lots of light, tranquil, airy, clean, large and peaceful.  

Very clean and cozy bed in a private bed room, large closet, own balcony, private bathroom with shower/tub.  Plush towels.

Little welcoming touches as well...were Raspberries in a bowl by the bed, bottled water.

The kitchen was well stocked, fresh bottled waters in the stainless steel fridge.

The neighborhood feels like suburbia, yet the location is only 1 mile from all of the best that Austin has to offer: shopping, food trailers, restaurants, entertainment, nightlife, dive bars, music venues, and one of the best Whole Food locations in the nation.  

Pixie is a fantastic host, very welcoming and accommodating, is available when needed to answer a question about the area, yet provides total privacy otherwise.  "
4678565,32861655,2015-05-22,31363591,Nicholas,"This was my second time staying with Pixie in the past few weeks, and it went just as well as the first.  His home is beautiful.  He's a thoughtful host and great communicator.  I've really enjoyed my stays, and I would recommend this location to anyone else."
4678565,34175434,2015-06-05,20598440,Julie,"I could not have imagined a more perfect place to stay! All the brilliant touches, carefully crafted by Pixie, like the blueberries in the white dish, the welcome letter typed on the typewriter at the front door, and the warm welcome from his adorable four  legged friend, Bunk, were all I needed to feel at home. And the books! And records! Were enough to make any English lit/hipster swoon. 

As an added bonus, his home is conveniently located to some great bars and restaurants on Lamar and Congress. 

Pixie's place is perfect as poetry. (Good poetry.) And I hope to stay here again soon. "
4678565,34262210,2015-06-06,15477799,Deana,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Pixie's unique home, and would consider a return visit to explore more of that area's offerings.  It was great to have the peace, quiet, greenery and privacy and yet be a short Lyft to Austin's other hot spots.  So... great host, great space, friendly dog :)  The welcoming message Pixie left us on the vintage Underwood made me smile.  
"
4678565,34377147,2015-06-07,34838312,Karl,"We absolutely loved the way that as soon as we entered the door, romantic (and tasteful) jazz music serenaded us all the way up the stairs to our room! And that was a suitable prelude to everything to come.

A bright, open, peaceful and pleasant space that delivered exactly as promised. We really appreciated all the little personal touches that made it an unforgettable stay. For the record, one of the most impressive collections of literature I've ever seen outside of a library or book store...along with a comfortable chair to enjoy it from. Pixie is a remarkable host and we would recommend his space to anyone visiting Austin."
4678565,35754456,2015-06-21,3064423,Audrey Et Sylvain,I recommend Pixie's place to everyone. It is a very nice home and Pixie is very welcoming and attentive. Thank you very much.  
4678565,35991907,2015-06-23,34599686,Shelby,"Pixie's home was such a delightful stay for an Airbnb first timer like us! We were in an urban paradise and almost didn't want to leave. The stay felt very private as we were granted the full top floor of the house. The space was especially clean and open and Pixie himself was very genuine and tasteful - we immediately felt at ease. Be sure to pay attention to Pixie's guidebook. I have been to Austin countless times but never had such a great meal as we did at Odd Duck, thanks to our host. And an ice cream place called Lick all in close proximity to Pixie's place.  After dinner, I read books about Wes Anderson and Bruce Springsteen or about Austin camping from the beautiful library in our room. We will definitely be back! Thanks Pixie and pup Bunk :)"
4678565,36448282,2015-06-28,31854263,John,"We had a great time at Pixies's ""Light and Joy"" lodging.  The owner is an intelligent,  interesting individual who will go out his way to accommodate your every request and without a doubt will enhance your visit to Austin with his knowledge of the local amenities.   Our bedroom was adjacent to an extensive library which was a space filled with natural light and a comfortable chair. I found the accommodations very enjoyable."
4678565,37268270,2015-07-05,37312432,Jason,"We had a fantastic time in Austin. Although we didn't see our host a lot (only because we we left early and came back late) he checked on us via text and offered recommendations that were spot on. The house was great, I just wish I could have found something to read. (Totally kidding.) I highly recommend this house and host. Thanks Pixie and Bunk!"
4678565,38078327,2015-07-12,37962024,Brittany,"Pixie was so kind and accommodating! I booked the room last minute and it is a great location. My girlfriend and I both fell in love with Austin thanks to the hosts recommendations. We will definitely be back to visit. His dogs were great :) The house was clean and we loved the decorations. The house is close to everything, just a couple minute über ride away. Thank you so much Pixie!"
4678565,39889306,2015-07-26,39375330,Roman,"Convenient location with lots to do nearby. Clean, well kept, and uniquely decorated space. I would recommend pixies place to anyone visiting the area."
4678565,40395218,2015-07-30,37021777,Dessie,"Pixie's place was super cool,charming, and easy to find!. The bed was very comfortable. The airbnb suite was spacious, but felt more like a shared space because we had to leave the suite doors open during the day and the bedroom itself did not have a door. Pixie, Tiff, and the pups were super friendly & had wonderful recommendations for Austin excitement! It was close to South side locations by way of Lyft.


There were some downsides to our experience at the airbnb. We could not close the blinds in the windows due to plants being there. As a result, it became bright early in the morning and there was minimal privacy towards the street and neighbors' home. We also had not expected the driveway parking to be so tight and shared with other guests and members of the house. Our car was nearly scratched by another guest staying at the airbnb who parked very close to us. Finally, we were unable to have hot showers for the majority of our stay because the hot water heater broke on day 2 of our 5 morning stay. 


There were some other positive things I would like to mention, however, about the airbnb. Pixie provided space for us to hang up our clothes, was willing to let us wash and dry our clothes, and he provided us with a tasty bottle of Grafter Rose Cider as a way of saying sorry about the water heater problem. 


Overall, Pixie was a pretty cool host, easy to talk to, and his place was nice."
4678565,40698759,2015-08-01,566290,Jessica,"I had a great stay. It's so close to many great restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. He was kind enough to take me along to Barton Springs and Deep Eddy while showing me great places along the way. The space is light, airy, and homey. I could only hope to be able to stay again on another Austin excursion. "
4678565,40837885,2015-08-02,1157107,Javier,"Pixie's apartment was very nice and we enjoyed our stay.  While he was not available to meet us at the time of our arrival he made accommodations for us to show ourselves in and was easy to reach throughout the process.  The accommodations where clean and pictures were accurate, I would only note one of the two bedrooms was a bit smaller than we expected, but we actually preferred this room as it was very comfortable for sleeping.  The neighborhood was very close to downtown and we had no trouble getting around with the Lyft business cards provided in the room.  I would recommend Pixie's listing for rental and would gladly stay again."
4678565,42736095,2015-08-15,33428235,Julian,"I had a great time in Austin, Pixie has a wonderful and comfortable house in a nice part of town, and his recommendations on where to eat and what to see are excellent! Thanks a lot!"
4678565,43591391,2015-08-20,9010247,Marina,"This place is immaculately kept, filled with light and books. My kind of place;) Pixie is a great host and a fascinating human being. Wonderful experience, thank you!!"

4678565,45047891,2015-08-30,20187178,Henry-Paul,Fantastic place with a great host in a a super location - I highly recommend Pixie and his place for anyone looking to visit Austin.  The house is impeccably clean and beautifully arranged.  Absolutely loved my stay.
4678565,45212436,2015-08-31,15155133,Juliana Mariia,"Pixie's place is just stunning and oh so welcoming! He and Tiffany are so detail oriented and the entire experience from the thorough communication before we got there to the late night snack left for us upon arrival to the note on their typewriter when we left. Pixie, Tiffany, and Yulia were so gracious to welcome us so late at night! We recommend this Airbnb to anyone and would absolutely love to stay again the next time we're in Austin! "
4678565,46543547,2015-09-11,43298090,Boband Carole,We did not realize that we were going to share a kitchen and living area with the host but it was just fine.  He was very accommodating and we felt at home.  We had a health problem that made us have to leave early so we did not get to experience the whole time there.  The time that we had was good.
4678565,46794641,2015-09-13,31457081,Lisa,"We had a wonderful experience. I'm always inspired by people who have light and joy in their heart. The place was great and everything we wanted. The humans and non-humans made it lovely and special.
We really enjoyed Pixie and Company! 
Thanks again for everything!!"

4678565,47826580,2015-09-21,43685218,Wes,"Pixie and Bunk were there to welcome us when we arrived. We had to leave in a rush to catch a tour we booked, but he helped us with dinner recommendations before seeing us off. Pixie's home is immaculate and beautiful! Every recommendation he gave us was great! There is still so much I'd like to do in Austin so a return trip is definitely in order. The neighborhood is quiet and minutes away from downtown and SoCo. I highly recommend staying here! "
4678565,48358517,2015-09-25,41850881,Min,"Pixie's home and hospitality were the best! Everything was clean and beautiful -we had the use of the whole top floor, lovely bedroom, big bathroom and even a library! Pixie was a great host, really welcoming, helpful and interesting it was a pleasure to stay with him. "
4678565,49185437,2015-10-01,42106228,Andre,"Staying at Pixie's place was a fantastic experience. The house was beautiful, clean and located just right to explore Austin's many attractions. Pixie was the best host one could ask for: friendly, welcoming and very helpful regarding questions about the city. Airbnb doesn't get any better than this!"
4678565,49276870,2015-10-02,44963545,Sam,"Amazing, great host, really spacious and modern room with ensuite and a seating area. Very helpful and friendly, even went as far as recommending some great places to eat and drink. Will definitely come back if ever in Austin again "

4678565,49752196,2015-10-05,21696333,Kenton,"Pixie is a perfect host. I was in town with my girlfriend for a very quick stay... he showed us the ropes, gave us everything we could possibly need, immediately made us feel welcome, and afterwards left us to our quick Austin wanderings. I don't think we could have found a better combination of accommodating host and cool place! "
4678565,49821894,2015-10-06,17688049,Carol,"Our stay at Pixie's was too short but it was amazing. The bed was extremely comfortable. The space is full of light and plants, and the dogs were adorable and friendly. Pixie is a gracious host and really easy to communicate with. We'll have to come back to Austin for a longer stay but this was a great preview! Thanks!"
4678565,50045907,2015-10-08,13304836,Melissa,Thank you for our stay in your beautiful house. You were a gracious host and we had a wonderful time. We would definitely come and stay here again!
4678565,50101396,2015-10-09,7600103,Sara,"Pixie was a gracious and accommodating host. He has clearly put in a lot of careful thought into going above and beyond for his guests. His local suggestions were great! Even though my stay was short, I thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful space and was delighted to peruse the library during a relaxing evening. The suite is exactly as described and the bed was extremely comfortable."
4678565,50999810,2015-10-16,1798178,Heather,"What a joy to stumble upon and then into Pixie's comfortable South Austin abode! 

Communication was timely and charming from the get go. Check in was easy and we loved the personal welcoming message. Everything was as described and hoped... clean, beautifully appointed and thought out, filled with joy and light, and ready and waiting for our arrival...I am still dreaming about the luxe mattress. The homage to Austin scrap book of clippings and personal recommendations was so much fun to page through and take ideas from...definitely check out nearby Radio for your morning coffee fix. 

Every opportunity to interact with our hosts and the adorable Bunk was a true pleasure! They could not have been more helpful and lovely and we recommend them and their space whole heartedly. I hope to return very soon and that, next time, I will have more time to browse through Pixie's impressive collections of books, movies and records...oh, and explore the amazing city of Austin! Thank you and....Pura Vida:) "

4678565,51871716,2015-10-24,44260437,Clifton,"Pixie was great, very kind and thoughtful. The space was nice, clean and comfortable. The ""concierge"" desk was great. I learned a couple of things to do in Austin that I didn't know about before. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. I certainly look forward to staying at Pixie's place again in the future."
4678565,52296868,2015-10-27,6281295,Kevin,"Very friendly host and dogs.  Pixie provides a nice welcome and orientation.  Upstairs suite provides some privacy and there's a great collection of interesting books to browse.  7-10 minutes walk to the nearest coffee shop and convenience store.  Enjoyed my stay, highly recommended!"
4678565,53157491,2015-11-05,40034239,Mark,Host was gracious. Nice place for a communal stay. 
8535137,49547977,2015-10-04,45237740,Madeline,My stay in Austin was PERFECT! Jasmin was a great host and awesome communicator. The apartment was very clean and I would stay again. 
8535137,50416073,2015-10-11,6930332,Ro,"Great people, place was perfect just as described. "

713784,21136823,2014-10-12,17559617,Kendall,We came to visit for ACL and we had a great experience staying at Jesus's house. He was very helpful when we had questions and not to mention he had left us with mini toiletry items(loved that). I highly suggest anyone stay here if they have a chance. Great location and great hospitality. 
713784,28311027,2015-03-22,26187005,Sam,"We met Jesus when we first arrived, and he was super friendly and helpful with any questions we had about the place. He let us know about the little grocery store nearby that was within walking distance of the apartment, which was incredibly useful. He even gave us a some beer and fruit for our stay! It's close enough to downtown for a long walk, although I would recommend either taking Uber or the bus. The one issue we had was with the air conditioner, which leaked and made the place smell really gross and musty. I tried contacting him about it but sadly never got a response. For anyone looking to stay here, I would inquire just to make sure that issue was fixed first, because it would have been a great location to stay at had it not been for that one issue. "
713784,49612959,2015-10-05,1607509,Ed,"Jesus has a great pad super close to Zilker Park for ACL. Its location makes it ideal for a group of friends to rest up at night during the concert weekend. Clean and cozy, my friends and I couldn't have asked for more."
713784,50429015,2015-10-12,21065040,Tara,Great location. Jesus was very welcoming when we checked in and made us feel right at home. The neighbors were also very friendly. We would stay again!
3742347,18778756,2014-08-31,16570731,David,"First Airbnb stay was the best one yet. Jenny was very accomodating, including last minute booking and even lending me a tie. So much more fun than staying in a ratchet motel. She opened her very nice comfortable home up and made me feel comfortable and was very eager to help with my incidental needs. We had good conversation about books, movies, and world news... my 3 favorite things to talk about."
3742347,20403648,2014-09-28,19096913,Troy,Jenny and her family were great hosts making me feel welcome with great conversation and even sharing a meal!  The house is gorgeous and the space upstairs very comfortable and luxurious.  Perfect location in Deep Eddy is only blocks from Lake Austin and Town Lake.  Loved it!
3742347,21133034,2014-10-12,14731972,Sharon,"Jenny was very attentive, friendly, and warm during my stay. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely stay there again! "
3742347,21230855,2014-10-13,21571589,Tom,Jenny was a tremendously generous host and a wonderful welcome to Austin.  After a long day at ACL we walked back and talked music and feasted on gourmet popcorn paired with a fine Costco riesling.  Her place is located in a great neighborhood you can sink into -- staying here is a no-brainer over a hotel.
3742347,21569211,2014-10-19,22604531,Brenda,Jenny and family are amazing. Their home is warm welcoming!! It is nice to feel you are in a home away from home.  I would definately return to this BNB when visiting Austin!!
3742347,21725836,2014-10-22,5330938,Geoff,"Jenny was a fantastic host for my 3 night stay. She had everything covered prior to my arrival including fresh toiletries, bottles of water in the room and the wi-fi passcode already on the nightstand. The room/bathroom could not have been cleaner and she could really have not been more accommodating. I highly recommend an airbnb experience at Jenny's!

"
3742347,21993543,2014-10-27,19811206,Doug,"Jenny and her family were great hosts as were the welcoming pets. 

The house was very nice and in a quiet suburb in easy walking distance to downtown and Ladybird lake. 

Room was very comfortable and quiet with nice private bathroom. In addition, Jenny provided me literature of places to visit, researched bus routes for me, and took me to see a nice viewing area of the city. 

Truly a great time visiting in Austin and a great host!"
3742347,22091580,2014-10-29,12884930,Randy,"Excellent, 5 stars. Jenny was very welcoming and friendly. Quiet and very clean bedroom and private bath. Internet speed was superb, with bonus of big screen with high def to watch World Series. Neighborhood seemed very quiet and safe. Her family and pets were friendly as well. I only spent one night, and I will definitely consider staying again. "
3742347,22131974,2014-10-30,23092099,Elizabeth,We very much enjoyed our stay with Jenny and Herb. Both the house itself and the room were lovely and comfortable.  The house sits in a very cute neighborhood that was only a short ride from the hustle and bustle of 6th st.
3742347,22553988,2014-11-09,23088513,David,"My wife and I had a great experience. This was our first airbnb stay. Jenny was out of town, but her housemate Herb what very kind hospitable and the two dogs were a joy."
3742347,22728351,2014-11-12,3570823,Thomas,I had a lovely stay with Jenny. She was very welcoming and the room was perfect. And she has a piano! I would highly recommend staying with Jenny. 
3742347,23186380,2014-11-24,18749344,Suzanne,"Jenny is a wonderful host. The room was so warm and welcoming. The private bathroom is beautiful and clean! Even our little service dog Lola felt at home. Thanks Jenny and it was wonderful speaking with you. If ever back to Austin, I would hope to stay with Jenny."
3742347,23716010,2014-12-08,14542280,Andrea,"The room was very nice and clean, and Jenny made us feel comfortable in her home. I highly recommend it to other Airbnb travelers."
3742347,25336587,2015-01-12,10704814,Elizabeth,"Jenny's home is warm and inviting, and the guest room is so nice, very comfortable and well-appointed. We loved all the art and especially the dogs, who are very sweet! It is just a short hop from downtown, in a quiet neighborhood. Perfect place for visiting Austin! "
3742347,25798004,2015-01-26,18400503,Bonnie,"Jenny is a kind, warm and friendly person. She was immediately responsive to all my emails prior to the trip. The room is spacious, clean, pretty and comfortable with a nice bathroom, and there is a sitting room with T.V. next to the room. She left bottles of water in the room, and their was every amenity I could need in the room and bathroom. Her home is beautiful in a lovely neighborhood. Her dog Audrey is so sweet and was always there to greet me coming and going. Jenny left me coffee in her beautiful kitchen. The home and room were ideal. It was so much nicer than staying at a hotel, and the price is reasonable. I will recommend the room to other family members who come to visit our daughter and son-in-law. Thank you, Jenny for opening your beautiful home to guests."
3742347,26231337,2015-02-07,19201050,Erin,"This room worked out perfectly for passing through Austin. It was in a beautiful home, centrally located in Austin, and the hosts were wonderful. Jenny was so kind and very flexible with our arrival, even though we didn't get in until about 10pm at night. The bedroom and bathroom were clean and comfortable and exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a great room in Austin!"
3742347,26520693,2015-02-15,24377979,Vanessa,"Jenny was a very nice host! The bedroom + bathroom was clean and nice. She even left us some water bottles in our room wich was very sweet. We had a great experience! Her house is in a very nice neighborhood, quiet and safe. I highly recomend it! Thank you for everything!"
3742347,26885678,2015-02-21,27465054,Jeff,"Jenny is a great host. Every time we spoke, she greeted us with a smile. She gave us a tour of her lovely home. As we passed through her open kitchen/living area, she pointed out that we should help ourselves to coffee in the morning and fresh fruit any time. When she showed us to our upstairs bedroom, it was just what the listing promised: well-decorated, comfortable bed, private attached bath. There was also the unexpected bonus of a cozy little media center with its own couch and big screen TV. The pictures don't quite do justice to how gorgeous this neighborhood is: wooded, secluded, essentially a house on a cul-de-sac with no through traffic, nestled into the hills of Austin. You will love going for a morning or evening walk through these wood-shaded streets."
3742347,26941843,2015-02-22,7048266,Helen,"I LOVED staying here. Jenny is such a warm host and manages to strike the perfect balance between hospitality and maintaining her guest's privacy. The room is comfortable and lovely - lots of natural light, great shower, terrific bed. Also it is a great neighborhood, funky and sweet houses that seem sequestered from the buzz, but then I walked to Magnolia Cafe (open 24 hours) in under 10 minutes. Audrey the dog is a gorgeous, polite, and loving pup too which was a pleasant little bonus. If this were a hotel room it would cost a bundle more and wouldn't be half as nice. I will definitely stay here again. "
3742347,27039115,2015-02-23,7048266,Helen,"I extended my stay at Jenny's place because the reception, lodging, neighborhood, and overall vibe was so terrific. It's a gracious, comfortable, beautifully maintained room within walking distance of  Magnolia Cafe and a very short drive from downtown!  I look forward to staying here again. Loved it!"
3742347,28118141,2015-03-18,11542280,Grace,"Jenny is a lovely person, made me feel very welcome in her large home; she is a gracious host. The location of her house is perfect, just off the downtown in a semi-rural setting, but only a ten-minute drive to the Austin Convention Center. The room offered ample space, a comfortable bed, luggage rack, maps, bottled water and a private bath. 

I was able to use the kitchen in the mornings to make coffee and fry an egg. There is an upstairs den right off the bedroom which was offered, but I never used because I was out and about most of my stay. Jenny's pets are friendly and well-behaved. 

I would highly recommend this aribnb if you want easy access to downtown and enjoy a daily escape from the traffic and noise."
3742347,28629857,2015-03-27,199767,Susan,"Jenny was a great host - friendly and thoughtful. Communicating with her was easy and she responded very quickly.  She provided a packet with maps, bus timetables and other information about Austin. The room is large, the bed is comfortable and the private bathroom was great. The house is in a quiet residential neighborhood about a 5 min walk to a bus stop that takes you right into downtown or a 25 min walk to a bikeshare station or a $10 cab ride. It was a great location to stay to explore Austin."
3742347,28736147,2015-03-29,29109300,Andrew,"Jenny, is a great host, she made my girlfriend and I feel very welcomed. She is also very accommodating. We arrived there on Saturday, to go to a wedding on Sunday so I only booked for one night. My intention was to leave in the morning and go to the wedding but I didn't realize the wedding started at 5pm. Jenny was really helpful and let us stay until we were ready to head out which was around 3pm. She didn't have too but had no qualms about it since no one else had booked if for Sunday. Also, her dog Audrey is pretty cute too (didn't see the cat much).

The listing was exactly as it was described but there's more to it than what's listed. There is also an entertainment nook for watching TV and lounging; we didn't use it but we were welcome to. We were also welcome to other parts of the house but we didn't use them and mostly just went in and out, doing things in Austin. 

The bed was amazing, I slept like a rock. The private bath was very useful, especially since my girlfriend and I were getting ready for a wedding. I would definitely rent this room again just for these perks (this was way nicer than a hotel).

The neighborhood is pretty close to everything (downtown, south congress, barton springs) and we couldn't have spent more than 15 minutes driving from destination to destination. It's fairly quiet and you can walk to brunch should you choose to have a slow morning. Also, there is a middle school track down the street for public use (and tennis courts) that my girlfriend and I used. 

Overall it was a great place to stay.   "
3742347,28858436,2015-03-30,794748,Chip,Great spot! Super accommodating for a last-minute guest. Thanks so much Jenny! 
3742347,29253610,2015-04-06,2111948,Sean,"Jenny's place was perfect for us. Convenient, comfortable and clean. I will definitely be wanting to stay with Jenny, the next time we are in Austin. "
3742347,29651412,2015-04-10,20305191,James,"Jenny has a beautiful home nestled in a lovely neighborhood just outside of downtown. 

She was very accommodating welcoming us on short notice. 
Her location is very close to all that downtown has to offer. 
Great stay with a comfy bed!"
3742347,29758333,2015-04-12,29323580,John,Jenny was very hospitable and ensured that I had everything I needed.  She has a wonderful house in a beautiful and safe neighborhood close to downtown and UT (I walked from her house to both places or took Bus 18 up Ennfield).  The house was very quiet while I was there and provided a serene respite from the conference I was attending in Austin.
3742347,30156689,2015-04-18,19125189,Elizabeth,"What a great place to stay in central Austin! I drove back and forth to the convention center each day and didn't have to fight big Austin traffic going or coming. 

Jenny was a warm and welcoming host, and her house was very comfortable. The room is large, located upstairs, and has its own private bathroom. The wifi connection was fast and reliable. Jenny offered the use of the kitchen downstairs (which I made use of), and the laundry room (which I didn't use), as well as other common areas.

I'd definitely stay here again when in Austin! "
3742347,30504241,2015-04-23,1758924,Nancy,"What a charming room in a beautiful house. We are former Austinites so we knew exactly where we wanted to be. The location is perfect. 
The quiet tree-lined street was so peaceful. We could hear the birds! I needed the rest after hitting the nightlife and pigging out on breakfast tacos and bbq everyday. Jenny was a lovely hostess, even the dog Audrey met us with her tennis ball, ready to play. I wish I could have stayed longer."
3742347,30619490,2015-04-25,309760,Sunhee,"I enjoyed staying at Jenny's place.  She was flexible with my arrival time.  The bedroom and bathroom were clean.  It's located in a cute, safe, and great neighborhood, and in a walking distance to Magnolia cafe.  I would stay in this place again for sure."
3742347,30729130,2015-04-26,31338085,Matt,"Great quiet neighborhood.  Very nice house. Jenny was very accommodating and easy-going.  Made us feel very comfortable for our first ABnB experience.  
"
3742347,31132805,2015-05-02,31338085,Matt,Great quiet neighborhood.  Very nice house. Jenny was very accommodating and easy-going.  Made us feel very comfortable for our first ABnB experience.  
3742347,31265505,2015-05-03,31244589,Wj,Jenny was absolutely awesome! She was super welcoming to us - we would not hesitate to stay with her again!
3742347,31939558,2015-05-12,27891267,Rhona,"Despite a late notice change in arrival time, and a very late arrival, I was greeted warmly by David and reassured by Jenny.  The guest room was as described and very comfortable (great bed) and private.  The connected bathroom contained everything one might have forgotten.  Easy to find, even in the dead of night, if you just google map the address before you leave the car rental lot.  I would definitely stay here again, hopefully for more than the one night I had this time."
3742347,32383001,2015-05-17,25710398,Rafal,"Jenny has a very lovely house in quiet neighborhood just minutes away from downtown Austin .  We felt welcomed, we had great night sleep in very comfortable bed.  Room with private bathroom was a big plus."
3742347,34460127,2015-06-08,33324357,Veronica,"Jenny was wonderful, we felt right at home.  Her house was super clean and inviting, the room was the perfect size and comfortable...the neighborhood, gorgeous. We would highly recommend staying with Jenny!"
3742347,34745029,2015-06-11,32598903,Karen,"I needed a place to stay both near downtown and MoPac. Jenny's house is perfect!  On top of the perfect location the house is in this quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Jenny and Dave have been gracious hosts, willing to visit with me but also non-intrusive. The room is clean and spacious with great natural light. The adjoining bathroom is clean and a good size. They have a nice and seemingly private sitting area right outside the room with a nice big flat screen. I never tire of being greeted by the world's sweetest dog -Audrey- as well. I highly recommend Jenny's home. I have been very satisfied with my stay.  "
3742347,35426424,2015-06-18,32598903,Karen,"I had the pleasure of staying at this airbnb off and on for 3 weeks. It was like staying with friends. Jenny and Dave were very welcoming and helped me feel as though I were just home away from home. The room was always clean as was the adjoining bathroom. The house is in a quiet and safe neighborhood. There is a grocery store and restaurants nearby, even within walking distance. Additionally, I was 5 to 10 minutes away from downtown, the Capitol buildings and maybe a few more minutes away from the campus. A great place to stay. It will definitely be my choice should I need to come back to Austin."
3742347,38085358,2015-07-12,5992391,Michael,Jenny's place was exactly what we were looking for in Austin for a quick weekend trip up from Houston. Everything spotlessly clean and in a beautiful quiet neighborhood less than 5 minutes by car to downtown or Barton Springs... can't beat it! Both Jenny and her son were extremely friendly hosts. Highly recommend this place for either short stays or extended trips to Austin!
3742347,38542705,2015-07-16,15785957,Bhagyam,"Jenny and her son were wonderful hosts. They made us feel very welcome in their lovely home. This Airbnb is in a great location in Deep Eddy (very close to downtown, Zilker park and trails), without the noise and crowds of downtown. We were so comfortable, that we extended our stay by another 3 days. The room is large, clean and comfortable, with a private attached bath to boot. We used the washer and dryer, as well as the kitchen during our stay. They have an adorable dog, Audrey (with whom we spent quite some time playing) and a shy cat. Both pets are sweet and fun. A quiet and peaceful retreat after a long day out, we won't hesitate in highly recommending this Airbnb. "
3742347,38963585,2015-07-19,15785957,Bhagyam,"We had a wonderful stay at Jenny's Airbnb. The room was clean,large and and comfortable, with a private bathroom to boot. It is located in a great neighborhood, peaceful, yet close to downtown, deep eddy pool, trails and zilker park. During our stay we used the laundry facilities and the kitchen for breakfast. We were so comfortable that we extended our stay by another 3 days. Her son David provided some excellent recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing. Audrey, the dog, is a sweetheart and will be missed."

She was very responsive to all of our questions and made the process easy.The home is beautiful and on a very quiet street in a great neighborhood. Our room was just as desribed, the bed was very comfortable and the attached bathroom was perfect. There was also a relaxing area to watch TV just outside the room. We were centrally located between UT, 6th street and S. Congress. This was our first time using AirBNB and were very happy. We plan on visiting our son in Austin often and will stay here again for sure."
3742347,49588210,2015-10-05,21505849,Tiffany,"Jenny was a wonderful hostess and her house was perfectly located for walking to ACL in Zilker Park. She was easy to get in contact with ahead of time and was so kind in welcoming us into her home. The room was perfect for our needs - we lazed a bit in the mornings and were gone all afternoon and evening. We hope to stay with Jenny, her son David, and her adorable pets again in the future!"
3742347,50428676,2015-10-12,33221011,Richard,Our experience was really great! Jenny was amazing and very friendly. She has a lovely home and she made us feel welcome from arrival to departure.

2459802,30099245,2015-04-17,234560,Phil,"Adriana's house was a wonderful spot for our extended family to stay for several days. Plenty of diverse spaces indoors and out for people to gather; a beautiful location, decor, and space; and the fully equipped kitchen made for a perfect stay for 3 generations of family. 

We highly recommend her house!"
2459802,33135096,2015-05-25,16569585,Brandon,This was a fantastic place to stay at. Adriana was very responsive to all our needs.

We have been welcomed as if it were our  home.
Thanks for everything!"
2459802,37197262,2015-07-05,35385619,Anesh,Great hostess with a beautiful house. Even left a bowl of m&ms for us. I advise anyone that wants to stay in Austin and have a good time to contact Adriana. 
2459802,43952471,2015-08-23,2982992,Ed,Great communication with our host Adriana.  The house and location were both fantastic and the amenities were great. Very spacious and unique property and was the perfect place to be if you are looking to be close to downtown and walking distance to Lake Austin activities. 
2459802,44922183,2015-08-30,35741378,Bethany,"The house was amazing! And so was Adriana. She had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in every bathroom. It was very clean and she also had new bars of soap for us. We had a blast! We had an issue with the AC and she came right over. She fixed it by reading the manual and figuring it out for us. She wouldn't let me help and said to go have fun. She was very considerate and a wonderful host! I would definitely stay again :)"
2459802,46016741,2015-09-07,41726923,Peter,"This house was such a great choice for our visit to Austin. It is huge, spacious, and has so much character. It represents Austin very well and impressed everyone in our group including some hard to please San Francisco folks. The location is fantastic and walkable to Mozarts coffee shop and restaurants on the lake Austin. Also it's very close to downtown and you can take an Uber or Lyft for really low price. Easy parking too. 

The host Adriana was extremely friendly and responsive and made booking this house easy and simple. This rental felt like one of those great gems you can find on airbnb. It is decorated and designed very well yet also very functional. House has a great kitchen and also has quiet and comfortable bedrooms. I definitely recommend this place. 
"
2459802,47709024,2015-09-21,13358831,Rachel,"Adriana was a wonderful host! Very responsive and her home was stocked with everything we could have needed for our trip. The home is modern and spread out with many entertaining spaces, both indoor and outdoor, which was perfect for our group of 4 couples. The outdoor space was so serene, and a couple minute walk from Hula Hut/Mozart's coffee and boat rentals on the lake, and a short Uber to downtown as well. Couldn't have lucked out with a better place, really enjoyed our stay and first time in Austin!"
2459802,49599986,2015-10-05,32016381,Marycruz,"This home is absolutely stunning. The pictures don't do it justice. It has beautiful natural lighting and modern decor. It is spacious, clean,  and situated in a calm and quiet neighborhood. It's just a short drive away from downtown. 

The homeowner was gracious and checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything. 

The house was perfect for our 3-day weekend! "
2459802,50453218,2015-10-12,8478009,Sean,"Adriana's house was absolutely awesome.  This was one of the best air bnbs I have stayed in.  The kitchen had EVERYTHING you needed to make meals.  The house was super clean, very modern, but still eclectic and fun.  The backyard was beautiful.... complete with a ping pong table and basketball hoop.  The beds were comfy, rooms were spacious, and there was even a bowl of mms waiting for us upon arrival :). I would 100% recommend staying  here for groups of 6 or more.  "
2459802,51925088,2015-10-25,30075008,Linda,"The house was absolutely beautiful and I will echo the sentiments that others have left - the pictures do not do this house justice. The place is spacious and Adriana has just about everything that you'll need available in the kitchen as well as a barbecue pit. The place was clean and very presentable. The house certainly adding a positive experience for our bachelorette party in Austin, TX. I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a place in the countryside of Austin, all the while wanting to take advantage of 6th street and the lakes activities. "
5549268,28356026,2015-03-22,21740621,Cameron,"Ivey was very responsive throughout the booking process and during our stay. The space was clean and tidy. The house is overall very warm and welcoming. Good stay, would recommend to friend."

5549268,29698680,2015-04-11,16185307,Byron,"Stayed for a short 3 day visit. Place was clean w no clutter. Was really nice that the place is totally private. Host was super responsive and she worked w me on check in and out times. Filtered and sparkling water were nice.  Fresh flowers and a Bluetooth speaker were also nice touches. Wifi worked well for music and movie streaming. House is in nice quite neighborhood. But we did need our car. Nothing is walking distance. Well, there's a nice park about 6 blocks away. Clean, private and quite. W everything you will need. "
5549268,30249231,2015-04-19,30921716,Abby,"Ivey was a wonderful host, very hospitable and easy to communicate with. Her response time was so quick to the initial request and any communications after that. Her home is a sanctuary of minimal design. The two bedrooms are so well decorated and comfy. It was the perfect place to stay while exploring Austin. The neighborhood is really quiet and easy to access. The yard is HUGE, and I really enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching a rainstorm. I highly recommend Ivey's lovely home if you are in Austin! =)"
5549268,30832968,2015-04-27,1264800,Natalia,"The house was spacious, clean, with modern furniture and appliances. The bedrooms have a lot of natural light, which I loved. You will need a car to get around. It is about 10 min drive to lots of interesting spots in East Austin and about 20 min drive to SoCo. Ivey was very accommodating and let us check in early. We had a great weekend in Austin and would stay there again!"
5549268,32437903,2015-05-17,3734318,Erdem,"Ivey is a great host and responds to inquiries very quickly. She even helped us extend our check out time further even though we notified her in the last minute.

The house is spacious and clean. The rooms are comfortable and bright. The back windows didn't have curtains, letting sunlight in at all times. This may be uncomfortable if you don't want to wake up early. Bathroom is new and lovely. The location definitely needs a car to get around. Downtown is a 15-20 minute ride and there is not much in the area."
5549268,32993122,2015-05-24,4659347,Suzie,"This wonderful home is so inviting...Our stay was perfect.

5549268,50433779,2015-10-12,1268776,Monique,"Ivey made us feel right at home. Her place was clean, comfortable and quiet (quiet for Austin I imagine) while we were there. We had everything we needed to sleep, cook, bathe, relax, and more. It was a very nice place to stay. We would love to stay there again next time we are in Austin and we have already recommended it to others!"
5549268,52132719,2015-10-26,40329355,Pingkan,"Ivey made us feel very welcome, we emailed each other and I know that I can contact her if there is anything we need to make us more comfortable in her home. The neighbourhood was also real friendly. Thank you Ivey for the use of your home."

The room is in the basement and very spacious, with a private bathroom, giving you the feeling that you're in a private apartment. Moreover, the house is perfectly located near downtown, as well as Zilker Park, which was perfect since I was there to attend ACL Festival.

Definitely recommend it for anyone staying in Austin.

Thanks again for everything, Justin!

8506795,50681849,2015-10-13,44886252,Niko,Justin  was super friendly and very accommodating. The room was very nice and private and the apartment itself was beautiful. I will definitely be planning to come back if I'm ever in Austin again.
8506795,51200862,2015-10-18,18134988,Mihaela,Justin was very responsive before my trip and was very accommodating when I had to arrive into town a bit earlier than the check in time. The room was more spacious than in the picture and the ensuite bathroom was great as well! There are 2 dogs and a cat on the premises so hope you are ok with animals! I love animals so it was not an issue for me and they were very well behaved. Location was great and a cheap Uber ride from the city. Would recommend this place to friends! 
629707,3773236,2013-03-13,1579122,David,"Revlynn is a true Texas woman: hospitable, intelligent, quick-to-laugh, warm and kind. I felt like her home was my home and I enjoyed my stay very much. Also, her two boxers are Texas canines as they, too, made me feel welcome. 

I love taking mass transit and Revlynn's home is around the corner from a public bus stop (only $1.00 in Austin) so it made my trip downtown easy. "
629707,10829355,2014-03-09,5725951,Jennifer,"RC was an amazing host! We arrived late in the evening and were sleepy. She was happy to chat and offered great snacks, but also totally respectful of our space and time. The house is beautiful and spotless with clean sheets and towels ready and waiting for us. The two dogs are very sweet and behaved and the location is great. Would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone coming to Austin!"
629707,10914004,2014-03-12,12809059,Alexandria,"Revlynn was my first experience with AirBnB and it couldn't have been any better! Her home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of while giving us as much privacy as we wanted. I was genuinely sad to leave. Her dogs are precious and she is just an all around awesome lady! I can't wait to come back to Austin and stay with her again!"
629707,10930747,2014-03-13,5265816,Emily,"RC was a wonderful host.  My boyfriend and I came down to Austin to enjoy some of the SXSW festivities, and this was the perfect, quiet place to stay.  RC was very friendly, laid back and accommodating - she was totally fine with us coming and going from the house, which was very convenient.  The room and bathroom were very clean and beautifully set up for visitors, bed was very comfortable. Location is very convenient as well! Short drive to downtown. Highly recommend!"
629707,11016372,2014-03-17,10825613,Joy,RC was a great host and the room was very comfortable and spacious. She was very knowledgeable about the city of Austin and had great advice on how to get around. Highly recommend!

The room was perfect with some water, fruit and snacks available, and Jessie prepares a delicious breakfast to get your day started. The room is spacious and bed very comfortable. It was nice to have my own entrance. The location is perfect; a nice quiet neighborhood and a short uber ride to downtown. The Austin Beer Garden Brewery is within walking distance - try the grape pizza. It was a perfect spot to walk to on the evening I arrived. I also enjoyed the outside patio in the evening and great conversation with my hosts. I look forward to coming back to Austin and will stay here again."

We were only there for one night but 
we had a great time in Austin and the home was lovely. Tyler and his wife were so helpful in suggesting good food and things to do. My wife loved the decor of the house as well.  

It was our first time using airbnb and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. "

Their place and the room were (in our opinion) even better than described, we really loved the furniture, the decoration and their style. It was really clean and we slept very very VERY well. Tyler and Helen gave us loads of information on what to do, where to eat and how to get there (thanks for the map and the thrift-store advice :D).

Furthermore, they helped us to get some bikes which we rode all over town.

So thanks again for everything, the interesting, humorous and exciting talks. We're glad to have met you two! We absolutely recommed this place!"
8191266,46660725,2015-09-12,37236438,Stephen,"What a lovely home! This precious couple has done a beautiful job decorating and making the home feel welcoming and comfortable.

Highly recommend!"

They made space for conversation and let us do our own thing and made great recommendations for places to go swimming to cool off. They are very organized and great at communicating. The room is spacious and comfortable, with a fantastic mattress. Next time I come back to Austin, I'm looking them up first. "
8191266,47813705,2015-09-21,28996710,Fiona,"Helen was there to greet us. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The house is beautifully decorated with all your needs catered for. There are 2 very chilled out and friendly cats! Helen had some great suggestions for places to eat and otherwise we had a full itinerary of activities in our short stay in Austin. The area was quiet and very close to main routes. It was ideally located to use Uber/Lyft to and from events in and around town. 
I'd highly recommend Tyler and Helen!"

My wife and I were impressed by how clean the whole house was! We enjoyed walking around barefoot on the very modern and smooth concrete floors.The bed was very comfy and the we both slept like babies. It was so quite at night. Just outside the bedroom was a our own bathroom.

I would definitely recommend friends/family to stay here if they are visiting Austin. Ishrat gave dining recommendations that were right on target with our taste. Her house is just a short walk to 6th street and everything East Austin has to offer.

Checking in and out was easy. The house had everything we needed plus extras- free snacks and home baked brownies.

Thank you AirBnB and Ishrat for a great Austin getaway!

1727257,8811016,2013-11-18,10052305,Shikshya,Ishrat is very welcoming and made us feel right at home. Her home was super clean and cute. We were at Austin for Formula 1 race for a night and this was definitely a great deal. We walked all the way to the 6th street (15 mins from her house) and experienced the downtown. I would definitely recommend her place. 
1727257,9454248,2013-12-29,1212140,Carolyn,"Ishrat was a wonderful host. Her house is beautiful and so Austin--we loved it!

I contacted Ishrat because on her picture she looked like a fun and open person. In her answer to my request I feld she would'nt have a problem with giggling teenagers in her house. I was looking for a safe haven for these two young, barely english speaking, girls and she gave me that confidence. They feld more than wellcome and Ishrat took great care of them. I think she in fact liked the giggling ;-) Nothing was to mutch to ask and she even drove the girls to the following adress. She kept me well informed and we had a wonderfull contact. 
Thank you so mutch for everythin Ishrat. You are a darling! I hope one day I will have the privilege to get to know you in person. "

She gave us tons of info about Austin, things to do and places to eat. Every we chose to go turned out perfect. Ishrat's house is really cute, and the host made us feel really confortable. She let me have the kitchen when I wanted to cook, and had dinner with us, so we had a really nice night in. Thank you so much for making our first Airbnb experience a breeze. We would definitely come back if Ishrat would still have us as guests ;) "

She offered insider tips about the city and even allowed us to use her washer and dryer. The room was clean, comfortable and bright. The location was close to public transport and a couple of cool places to grab a tasty bite. Coffee, tea, and a light breakfast were all made available to us throughout our stay. Without hesitation, I would recommend the ""Zen Palace"".

It was very easy to arrive to her place from the airport, and I felt instantly comfortable when I arrived. Ishrat greeted me with a delicious cup of tea, which was just what I needed after all the flying and moving around.
The house is very clean and neat, but also has a great vibe and feels cozy. She has really cool art and you can tell she has put a lot of thought into making her home beautiful and sustainable.
The layout of the house is very functional and I felt like I had a great deal of privacy, especially having my own bathroom. 
As for Ishrat has a host, she is just amazing! A world traveler and smart individual, she knows how to make her guests feel welcome and excited about Austin. I had an excellent time getting to know her and I am definitely staying with her again next time I'm in Austin!"

This was my first airbnb experience and first Austin trip and both were great ones thanks to Ishrat.  From before the trip began, to the moment I left, I felt so comfortable with the entire process.  The room (and entire house) was so clean and pleasant.  Ishrat made me feel so welcome, offering her house as my own.  Ishrat also had a great balance between going about her normal life and checking in to see how I was doing.  This was great because I did not feel smothered, and I also felt looked after.  If you are looking to experience Austin's live music scene, Ishrat is in the know :)

From a first time bnb'er, I cannot say how smooth this trip was!

Thank you!"

Perfect location for all good restaurants, bars, and cafés nearby...and all walking distance to the music scene. My friend and I had such a wonderful time and we feel blessed to have made a friend in Austin and can't wait to visit back. Ishrat's home definitely is a zen palace and anyone who chooses to stay here will have a wonderful time. "
1727257,11794043,2014-04-15,5523676,Nicole,Ishrat's Zenpalace is perfectly located to everything. Want to go to 6th St? A walk away. Want to go to Rainey St? A walk away. Downtown? A walk away. Franklin's?...You get the idea. Ishrat made us feel right at home. Thanks for all the great recommendations! Austin was a blast!!
1727257,12249355,2014-04-27,13757195,Kelly,"Best trip ever! Ish was the best hostess! I was traveling alone in an unfamiliar city, and she showed me the greatest time. Always making sure I had fun plans if I wanted them. I will definitely stay with her on my next visit. Coolest lady I've ever met!"
1727257,12383121,2014-04-30,14475186,Lynn,"I would highly recommend Ish and her home for a stay in Austin. Her place is lovely, light and clean and the way it is set up, while joined by a great room type of space, is also very private and you don't feel like you are intruding.   Ish loves Austin and is very knowledgeable about her city so she was able to give us great recommendations of where to go and places to see. Her location is in close proximity to downtown but public transportation, while doable, leaves something to be desired.  Waits for buses were long.  Hopefully Austin will get this figured out.  We would go again and stay with Ish who feels like a friend.  She is a wonderful and delightful hostess! "
1727257,12859756,2014-05-12,6234063,Mike,"GREAT experience! Ish's home was a very comfortable and convenient retreat while exploring downtown and East Austin. The layout offers plenty of privacy, but we enjoyed chatting with Ish when we arrived and when we left...excellent local advice.   She supplied snacks and breakfast which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely try to stay here again next time in Austin!"
1727257,14868357,2014-06-28,6219507,Chloe,"Ish made me feel welcome in her home the moment I arrived.  I stayed at the very special Eastside Zenpalace for five weeks and enjoyed every day there.  The house is clean and well cared for, cozy and lived in but never crowded or cluttered.  The guest suite is private and quiet, the bathroom gets great natural light, the kitchen is stocked with good gear for cooking... 

During my five weeks in Austin, Ish introduced me to fabulous people and places.  She knows all the good spots to eat!  (There are some great options in the neighborhood — casual cafes, food trucks, nicer restaurants).  It's a very active neighborhood with a fabulous yoga studio, outdoor movie series in the summer, and bike shop if you need wheels... 

Truly one of the most generous people I have ever met, Ish is a wonderful host — attentive, helpful, always respectful of her guests' privacy and belongings. She loves her house and it shows —the Eastside Zenpalace is a true gem.  You can expect to have a great stay.          "
1727257,15651051,2014-07-13,17525893,Emily,"Ish was an excellent host- even without being present. She was gone on vacation  (in our home town!) until the last day of our stay at her house, but did an excellent job of making sure we had all the information we needed before we arrived. The house was very clean, and our living quarters were spotless and convenient. There was closet space for our clothes and we had our own bathroom. I really appreciated that Ish checked in with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. We got to meet her on our last night there, and I'm so glad we did! She is a lovely person, and I only wish we had gotten to spend more time hanging out!

One thing I would recommend if you stay here (and if you are traveling to Austin in general) is to rent a car. We tried to only use the bus system but were limited in where we could travel. Ish's house is 4 or 5 blocks from a bus stop, which is convenient, but the city is really spread out and it is faster and easier to use a car. 

Also,there are lots of fun and delicious restaurants near to her house. She will give you great recommendations, but be sure to hit up the White Horse if you like dancing and live music! And, Veracruz tacos.  Yum!

In all, I would absolutely recommend staying with Ish!"
1727257,18950876,2014-09-03,18997979,Graciela,"Ish was extremely welcoming. Her home is beautifully decorated, spotless and tranquil. The room is nice and spacious and I found the bed super comfortable. Ish is also a great Austin ambassador! She generously invited me to go out with her friends and I met some wonderful people trough her. The location was great, within walking distance to great restaurants, bars and an amazing yoga studio. It's also very conveniently located in relation to the airport. I will definitely try to stay with her again in my next visit to Austin and I would recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin. This airbnb experience definitely surpassed my expectations. "
1727257,20845320,2014-10-06,16673341,Shannon,"Ish was a wonderful host and the room was great. It is close to downtown and in a really interesting area in east Austin. Her house is so cozy and welcoming, we felt so comfortable being there. It seemed like we weren't just visitors, like we were actually embedded into the community. Most of the credit goes to Ish and her delightful house and hospitality! I'm going to look her up again when I make it back to Austin!"
1727257,21561777,2014-10-19,20130905,Christina,Ishrat was there to welcome my boyfriend and I to her home. She was very nice and helpful. She made us feel comfortable and right at home. Room and house was as described. We were not disappointed and would definitely stay with Ishrat again. 
1727257,22364461,2014-11-04,21769199,Jonathan,"This was my first AirBNB experience and Ishrat made it super easy and awesome! My sister and I were in Austin from Oct 29 to Nov 4 for the F1 race. Ishrat's accomodations were exactly as listed and she was incrfedibly welcoming and friendly. We chose to stay with her based on the many positive reviews she had and it’s no surprise why she has received so much positive feedback. Ishrat gave great instructions for our stay and even provided recommendations for nearby eats. We only got to try a couple of the places and wish we had time to try more. Her home is well located as you can commute by bus to get to downtown Austin or take a cab (roughly $10-12 depending where you're coming from or headed to). The neighborhood was nice and we felt totally comfortable walking around at any time of day. If you’re looking to stay in the Austin area for anything I would not hesitate recommending Ishrat’s, we had the perfect experience! Thank you again for helping make everything so easy and helping us have an awesome time! "
1727257,22529746,2014-11-09,4011224,Kathi & Jan,Ish is a super nice and funny person. We had lots of fun and a wonderful time with her. She has a lot of friends in Austin and she can give you tons of tips and recommendations. Her house is both cute and stylish and is very well located in Austin. We loved especially her beautiful front porch to hang out. The house is only 10 minutes by foot away to East 6th street nightlife action and there are many great neighborhood bars and coffee shops. Staying with Ish was the best decision for a wonderful and amazing Austin experience.
1727257,26443203,2015-02-13,1651161,Michelle,"Ish was a perfect hostess. She was there to greet us when we arrived and was attentive and concerned about our comfort.  She was very friendly, open, and was very helpful with info about Austin and the neighborhood.  We liked the hip and unassuming area where the house is located, East Austin.  I recommend Ish and here Airb&b room for anyone visiting Austin!"
1727257,26567836,2015-02-15,5802709,Zach,"The space is bright and inviting, as seen in the pictures. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom is clean, and the shower has good water pressure. The location is perfect for exploring East Austin.

Ish is welcoming, funny, generous, and a wealth of knowledge about Austin. Overall, it was an amazing Airbnb experience! I can't wait to visit again!"
1727257,27611505,2015-03-08,1728904,Serena,"Ish was really nice during the week end we spent in Austin. She make us feel immediately at home since first moment, she gave us nice tips about the neighborhood and the city and also offer to join her for a night out with her friend. Super sweet! Overall we had really a great time in Austin, the city is awesome, Ish neighborhood (east austin) is really cool and her place is close to a number of great bars and restaurants. The apartment is really well sized, very nicely arranged, a big living room/ kitchen and two night areas, one for Ish and one for the guests, so plenty of space for us and we also had a private bath.
We would definitely like to come back and we certainly recommend Ish as a host."
1727257,28214943,2015-03-20,11072464,Jennifer,"Ishrat is a lovely host and offered us food and drink while we were there and her friends told us some great places to go for the SXSW festival. 

The area is very residential and is about a half an hour walk into downtown Austin."
1727257,30336788,2015-04-20,315825,Sarah,"Ish's home is very comfortable and clean, and I appreciated the private feel to the guest ""wing"" with our own bathroom. It is a well-located spot for travelers: in walking distance to fun East Austin spots (food highlights for me were the basil gelato at Gelateria Gemelli and the organic vegan fare at the Cool Beans truck!) and also a quick and easy ride to and from the airport. I would definitely recommend staying with Ish!"
1727257,32569530,2015-05-19,8798344,Lindsay,"Staying at Ishrat's home was such a pleasure. The room was as depicted--tidy, cute, comfortable. The neighborhood was perfect--easy off street parking; some great bars, restaurants and cafes within walking distance; and an easy drive to get anywhere else that we wanted to go. Best of all, Ishrat was so friendly and helpful: she emailed us huge and detailed list of restaurants, bars, outdoor spots, music venues, etc. to check out and had even more ideas and suggestions for us once we met her. Would happily stay here again! "
1727257,33259352,2015-05-26,9880987,Keya,"Ishrat was extremely welcoming, considerate and hospitable. While we were there, Austin suffered from some pretty bad flooding, and Ishrat always texted us to make sure we were safe, which was incredibly kind. The house was located in a great neighborhood with loads to do and see around the area. All-in-all, we had a great trip and enjoyed the experience despite the weather. "
1727257,49444566,2015-10-04,3954505,Sara,"Ish's home was absolutely amazing! It's so inviting and warm and super close to the happening East Austin bars. Not only did we love staying here, we also loved getting to know Ish. Ish is wonderful, her place is wonderful and her friends are wonderful. You'd be lucky to stay here and share a glimpse of her amazing Austin world. P.S. Ish, I'm sorry for falling into the tub. "
5410834,27860282,2015-03-13,6719102,Sarah,"Everything about Paul's place was excellent. Great location and checkin was super easy. Paul left us everything we needed and those Rodys inflatable horse things were hilarious. The pictures don't do it justice, I love all the little touches. Can't to wait to stay here again! Thank you! 3"
5410834,28410380,2015-03-23,6719102,Sarah,"Had a wonderful time, I'd come back to Austin and stay here again anytime!"
5410834,52089500,2015-10-26,7263206,New,"Paul was a wonderful host, very relaxed and the Bungalow is everything as described. Very comfortable with all the needed mod cons. The lack of a TV is great to get you out an exploring the amazing Austin.

The place is walking distance from the great bars and food options on Cesar Chavez, and also the river park. It's only a short taxi/uber ride to the city center or Rainy st etc too.

Also very much appreciated their coffee beans! Thank you! I'd definitely stay again.
"
319759,990497,2012-03-12,1641956,Jeremy,Kristen's place was easily walkable from SXSW events and a great base for us during the event. The large roof deck is a highlight so long as the weather cooperates. 
319759,1016736,2012-03-19,917841,Mark,A stunning place in an amazing location. Kristen is the perfect host. Very thoughtful and communicative. The roof terrace is just the best... 5 stars for that alone!
319759,1050319,2012-03-27,1155573,Siddharth,"Kristen's place is truly amazing!  It is really spacious - across 3 floors and has 5 beds to sleep on.  The place is perfectly located on 6th street - away from the mayhem but walking distance to it.  There's a lot of great food places nearby, including this taco ruck right opposite.  She had also left towels behind and a detailed list of where to eat / things to do.  In short, really the perfect host. 

The only flip side for us was that 7 of us rented her place, and while 4 people slept in the 2 lovely bedrooms, the other 3 were relegated to the garage converted to a bedroom.  The beds are nice and the garage is super spacious but there's no curtain there so it makes it hard to sleep in.  The place is really ideal for 4 people.  "
319759,1071890,2012-04-02,1308784,Zeke,"This is great place in a great location in a great city. Kristen and her husband were incredibly accommodating and helpful in every way. The roof deck is awesome as is the view from the master bedroom. If you are looking for a swanky place with a lot of room in downtown Austin,do not hesitate to rent this couple's beautiful home."
319759,1183745,2012-04-26,461250,Yair,"We had a great stay at Kristen's place.  7 people (everyone in my company) came down for a conference and I wanted a larger place to stay - something more intimate than hotel rooms.  Kristen put out 10 beds for us (some queen sized beds).  Everyone loved the place and much preferred it to hotel rooms.  Kristen was great with communication - as evidenced by the fact that we got there a day before her wedding day, and she was still in touch to check everything was okay with us.  It's a really nice play and I'd definitely recommend staying again."
319759,1265455,2012-05-12,1709913,Melissa,"10 of us rented this place together for a conference at the Austin Convention Center. The location was great. Kristen was extremely accommodating, and very responsive to all of our queries and needs. 

We ended up having 6 people in the two bedrooms upstairs, and 4 in the garage. The people in the garage had to go upstairs to shower, but it wasn't a problem. The beds were great, even the fold-out ones!  There was plenty of space for all of us to hang out and work. I pretty much finished my dissertation sitting on the recliners there.

The place has a lot of character - fun lighting, electric reclining couches, graffiti art, retro-nouveau furniture. And, despite the week of thunderstorms, we managed to hang out a bit on the roof and the balcony.  The view of the thunderstorms over the city from the balcony was amazing."
319759,1504759,2012-06-18,699389,Robert,"Kristen was a wonderful host, and her apartment is really cool. Easy to walk to the action downtown, cool roof deck, plenty of beds. Perfect place for a big group."
319759,1611744,2012-07-02,2457338,Marc,"I HIGHLY recommend staying here if it suits your needs. Kristen describes her townhome as ""swanky"" and she does not exaggerate. This swanky townhome is perfectly located just a few short walking minutes to the thick of 6th street. Kristen herself is amazing and made our stay extremely comfortable. If I come to Austin again I know who's door I'm going to knock on!"
319759,1697664,2012-07-13,1010488,Kellie,"We booked Kristen's townhome for employees in for a company meeting and although I did not stay there, the 7 people that did stay there were very happy.    Everything was clean and prepared and ready.   Kristen is a great hostess and was wonderful to work with.     If you do have a larger crowd, be prepared for more communal sleeping quarters, and if that goes over well with all guests, then this wonderful townhome is perfect.    Thank you Kristen!!!!"
319759,1970735,2012-08-13,1745224,Will,"Kristen was a tremendous, accommodating host. We had a great time staying at her townhome!"
319759,2037999,2012-08-20,2554449,Jimmy,"Wow, this was the perfect spot for a big group. Even with 13 guys we had plenty of room to stretch out.

The place was spacious and the upstairs patio was incredible. Walking distance to all 6th street has to offer. Kristen even made us fresh guacamole upon arrival and was incredibly hospitable. Highly recommended! "
319759,2393005,2012-09-24,706416,Kevin,"Kristen's place is phenomenal! It's perfect for a small or large group since the place has a lot of flexibility and amenities. It's in a perfect location - close enough to the highway and Downtown Austin (6th street) so getting around isn't an issue at all. Best part about this place - the roof deck! It's a perfect way to start or end any day - beautiful views of Downtown Austin. We highly recommend this place for any sized group, and appreciate the hospitality from Kristen! Thanks again for making our weekend so great. "
319759,2537967,2012-10-08,3308834,Chris,"Kristen's place was ideal for our group.   Lots of space to hang out, numerous comfortable beds and an incredible roof top deck.  Also, the location is great for downtown - walking distance to everything and very easy to get in and out of.  
Finally, Kristen is an incredibly gracious host.  She went out of her way to accommodate us, including little things from having lots of spare towels to providing wifi and phone chargers.  "
319759,2760130,2012-10-30,3527182,Allard,We had a bachelor party weekend and Kristen was such a great host. She was very attentive to questions and gave us a ton of great suggestions. Austin is an amazing place to visit and i would recommend staying here if you have a large group. Great outdoor spaces and walking distance to a lot! 
319759,2807194,2012-11-05,3249346,Chris,The apartment was perfect for our group of 8 guys.  It's a short walk to tons of places downtown. We had a great time and Kristen was a great host.  She was very helpful in providing lots of suggestions for things to do and places to eat.
319759,2874538,2012-11-13,3340935,Julie,"Kristen's town home is awesome, and Kristen is a wonderful hostess!  The place is very fun for a large group.  The location is spectacular--walking distance to tons of great restaurants and bars.  Kristen gave us great recommendations and our group had a wonderful weekend exploring Austin.  She even provided us with snacks and drinks which was a very welcome surprise!  I would recommend this town home to any of my friends and family.  It's great!"
319759,2925239,2012-11-20,1921848,Jeff,"You will have a tough time beating this condo and its owners for any Austin experience.  The central location is one-of-a-kind, the view is extraordinary, and Kristen and Brian go out of their way to make their guests feel welcome.  The place will comfortably accommodate a pretty large group, too.  We will be back without a doubt, and this will be our location of choice."
319759,3015129,2012-12-03,783052,Emily,"Our group of 15 stayed in Kristen's town house, and it worked out perfectly. The home is large enough to comfortably fit a big group, and is in a great location for walking to restaurants and bars. The beds were comfortable, and Kristen was kind enough to stock the fridge with beer and mimosa makings for our group. This was one of the best airbnb experiences I've had to date. I definitely recommend Kristen's home! Thanks for the hospitality!"
319759,3039456,2012-12-08,3156246,Sarah,"Great space for a big group, fun kitchen, convenient location, nice amenities. Kristen was super helpful with setup and our entertaining needs, went above and beyond with helping with logistics. Top deck area is beautiful with a great view of downtown, perfect for entertaining. The big garage/dormer area worked well for our crew! "
319759,3430144,2013-01-28,4358968,Diego,"Great house! Everything was organized and the host was very kind and available, we were a big group and fitted just fine. Definitely would recommend it!  "
319759,3511975,2013-02-11,3118880,Dustin,Just stayed here this past weekend for my bachelor party. Place was amazing. Great location in between main 6th street and east 6th. Had eleven total guests. Plenty of room for everyone. Would highly recommend this place to any large party heading to Austin for a good time. We had a blast!
319759,3683259,2013-03-04,868129,Joel,"Kristen was the perfect host, and the townhome was perfect for our group. It was big enough to house the whole group comfortably, and the location was great for hitting the town. Not to mention the private roof was a great place hang out.

I would definitely book this townhome again for a large group."
319759,3770558,2013-03-13,280081,Matt,"Gorgeous place, amazing roof deck, ideal location to 6th street, incredible host.  Could not have been better for our group of 15 for SXSW."
319759,3812730,2013-03-18,2011266,Jeff,Excellent house. Excellent location. My only fear in giving it a good rating is someone else taking it when I want to rent it again. 
319759,3885537,2013-03-25,1509186,Carmela & Raymund,"Kristen and her husband, Brian, were perfect hosts! They were incredibly accommodating to our large group that was visiting Austin for my friend’s bachelorette party. Whenever we had questions or needed help with anything, they were just a phone call away. The apartment was ideally situated – and allowed us easy access to 6th street and beyond. The roof deck was great for hanging out at night or sunbathing during the day. Would highly recommended this apartment owned by the sweetest couple for any big group travelling to Austin. They showed us some real southern hospitality!"
319759,4072524,2013-04-08,4595828,Tim,"Kristen and her house were amazing. It was in a great location, had plenty of room, and was ideal for our bachelor party. Kristen was incredibly helpful."
319759,4157071,2013-04-15,4764068,Erik,"Kristen was a fantastic host and was easy to work with. She helped us with dinner/bar recommendations and had the fridge stocked with beer and snacks for our arrival. The townhome is in a great location, right on 6th street and walking distance from all the Austin nightlife. Hands down my favorite part of her place was the private rooftop deck overlooking the city. Kristen's townhome was great for my group of 12 guys, plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely book with Kristen again."
319759,4332933,2013-04-29,4349243,Ali,Great location and very nice house. The hosts really went out of their way to make us feel welcome and even gave us a map of the city. I'd recommend it!
319759,4561674,2013-05-13,4883680,Matthew,"Look at the photos and read the other reviews, this is a fantastic place to stay!! The location is tops for a night out on the town. Close acess to just about everything you would want to do while in Austin. Kristen was easy to work with, and extremely nice in person. Even though we had a large group, everyone had a great place to sleep. We had nice weather and really enjoyed catching some sun on the roof. All around this place cannot be beat. "
319759,4672644,2013-05-20,678768,Paul,"Rent. This. Place. 

That's all I can say about that. Kristen was an extremely gracious host - greeting us at the place, telling us what and what not to do, and even stocking the place with Shiner Bock and other sundry items. It's perfectly situated between East and West 6th street and it has a great roof deck. 

You are not gonna find a better group spot for the money and if I had to do it all again I absolutely word. 

Bravo, Swanky Townhome. Bravo. "
319759,4932361,2013-06-03,4635983,Lindsay,"We could not have asked for a better place to stay in Austin. The condo is AMAZING - it is in a great location, could sleep our group of 11 ladies more than comfortably, and had plenty of space to hang out in during down time. 

Kristen could not have been more accomodating for us - she even stopped by a restaurant to pick up someone's luggage so that she didn't need to bring it out with her. 

If you're looking for a place for a large group within walking distance to downtown, this is it!"
319759,5047571,2013-06-10,4611113,Chad,What a great experience!  The house is amazing and right in the heart of Austin's action.  The roof deck can't be beat and the rest of the house is perfect for any large group.  Kristen was very responsive and very friendly.  Absolutely recommend to any group.
319759,5176524,2013-06-17,5539830,Jon,Kristen was great to work with!  We had a great time.  The place is very nice and had plenty of room!
319759,5307196,2013-06-24,4996406,Liz,"The house is a good house for larger parties, but be aware that a majority of guests sleep in the ""hostel"" room which is basically a converted garage with 5 pullout couches stuffed in the room.  The house also advertises a stocked bar, but we only found almost empty bottles and one wine bottle. The location is easily accessible and within walking distance of many fun areas. On a weekend night the gas station across the street had quite a few sketchy characters hanging around, and felt a little unsafe with a large group of girls in the house."
319759,5407345,2013-06-28,1384988,Daniel,"Kristen's place was fantastic! The perfect stylish urban retreat. It has quick access to all the life of the city on 6th street, and can be a quiet oasis from the outside world when needed. The graffiti in the living room was a nice touch, as was the city skyline and sunset providing an inspiring ambiance in the evening. We used the rooftop deck every night - getting a view of the city at night, and getting a little fresh air before crashing for the night. The apartment was well appointed, with all the tech setup you'd need (Apple TV, Cable, really strong WiFi, etc.).

And we liked how flexible the place was - from handling our small team of 6, to accommodating a party of 25. The place didn't skip a beat!

Next time we're in Austin, we're staying here for sure. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience all Austin has to offer from the heart of the action!"
319759,5554484,2013-07-06,4720860,Nathan,This place is amazing. Exactly what we were looking for. Close to 6th street and the rooftop area is awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Kristen was very friendly and easy to deal with. The only downfall was we didnt stay long enough. Would be glad to reccommend this place to others and I know we will be staying there again next time we are in Austin.
319759,5751328,2013-07-15,6201729,Zachary,"This place is awesome! Great view and roof deck, plenty of beds for over a dozen bachelor party-goers and you can't beat the location. As one of the other reviewers said, my only concern is that by telling others how great it is I might not be able to rent it again. Kristen was a wonderful host."

Thanks"
319759,6613995,2013-08-19,5438555,John,"This house is incredible. We rented it for my brother's bachelor party -- had a large group of guys visiting from all over the country and this place was the perfect Austin headquarters for us. Awesome location, plenty of room for everyone, the roof deck and interior are so cool...it's basically a Real World house. 

Kristen and her husband are the coolest -- they were totally accommodating and made us feel right at home. This awesome house played a big role in a very successful bachelor party."
319759,6807792,2013-08-26,6756361,Eric,"We rented Swanky Townhome for a friend's bachelor party. The location is fantastic, right on the 6th St strip. Kristen was super friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do. And, the view of downtown Austin from the roofdeck at night is killer.

p.s. be sure to try the taco truck in the lot across the street."
319759,7503264,2013-09-23,6438975,Matt,"I would highly recommend this place! It was very nice, spacious, and close to all the action! The host was amazing, very helpful, and even met us with a partying gift!  Thanks! 
"
319759,7868395,2013-10-07,6492852,Thomas,"This condo is perfect for a medium to large group, looking to experience the hip Austin restaurant/bar scene. We had a group of 7 guys visiting from all over the country and the place could've accommodated several more.  Awesome location, you can walk to loads of cool bars, restaurants, and food trucks. The roof deck is a highlight. And Kristen and her husband are great hosts.  Highly recommend this place and will definitely book it for our next trip to Austin.  "
319759,8077227,2013-10-15,5939402,Peter,"Kristen was great, very accommodating and flexible. Awesome place and location. Only downside is that most of the beds in the place are pullout couches."
319759,8364014,2013-10-28,7150430,Maeghan,"I have nothing but great things to say about our stay at the condo as well as Kristen's hospitality!  We were a bachelorette party of 13 and the house was perfect with plenty of room!  The added bonus was the roof deck with two chair swings, which we made use of several times.  Kristen was extremely helpful leading up to our stay there as well, giving us great restaurant recommendations and things to do!  The neighborhood behind the condo seems to be up-and-coming and has lots of great food trucks and bars...all within walking distance.  I would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
319759,8657453,2013-11-11,5991352,Jared,Had an awesome time. Great condo and very gracious hosts. Can't wait till our next visit.

She was very welcoming, accommodating, responsive and the place had everything needed, and it was close to everything! (But not too close ;)  My only wish was that we had better weather so we could have used the rooftop more!  This was really one of my favorite of many Airbnb stays :)"
319759,10031175,2014-01-27,3586871,Erin,The house was great for a bachelorette party. We had 15 people and fit perfectly. Kristen was super responsive and available all weekend for anything we needed.
319759,10257465,2014-02-10,9465197,Christopher,We rented Kristen's house for a bachelor party.  The space and the location were great.  Kristen was very helpful.

319759,10526709,2014-02-24,8801989,Iska,Kristen's apartment is awesome! We had 9 girls staying there for a bachelorette party and we had a blast. The location is perfect for going out on 6th Street and the Rainy District. Awesome food spots and great shopping. Kristen was so helpful and nice! Definitely recommend this spot! 
319759,10673651,2014-03-03,3518778,Josh,"Amazing place to stay in Austin.  On the East side of 6th, and very easy to walk to wherever you want to go.  The condo is perfect for a large group, from the dorm in the basement to the beds upstairs and plenty of bathrooms.  Fantastic rooftop to hang out on during the day and at night.  Kristen is a perfect host, checking in to make sure things are going well and dropping off breakfast tacos in the morning.  If you're going to Austin with a bachelor or bachelorette party, this is an idea choice. "
319759,11167235,2014-03-24,8817821,David,"This house is awesome and perfect on all levels.  Very unique in layout giving plenty of space and functionality for a large group - I was there with 15 guys.  staying in this house for a bachelor party brought back the good old days of being away at college.  The location is perfect-walking distance from east 6th, west 6th and rainey street - as well as some legit tex mex spots for breakfast.  Kristen is totally cool, helpful and always available without whatever is needed at any time.  This house comes stocked with a full liquor cabinet, food and coffee.  The highlight of the house for sure is the private roofdeck,  Having no one on either side of this spacious deck complete with a beer pong table is the perfect way to spend any afternoon or late night.  This will be where I hope to stay for my next Austin trip."
319759,11733643,2014-04-14,9692334,Kathryn,"Kristen was so responsive and easy to work with from day one, providing tons of suggestions on what to do for a large group in Austin. She was extremely accommodating with the check-in time and the changing number of girls in our party. The house was perfect for our large group of 17 and the location is walking distance to some great food trucks and bars on 6th. I would highly recommend this place for a large group weekend getaway!"
319759,11982530,2014-04-21,9736290,Jeff,Amazing house in a great location. Walking distance to everywhere. 15 minutes from airport. Huge rooftop deck was a big selling point. Would rent again!
319759,13399047,2014-05-27,10544756,Taylor,"This condo worked out perfectly for our group. The location is great, 6th street is an easy walk, it's in a safe area, and there is a liqour store/gas station within throwing distance. Everything in the pictures is exactly as advertised and the rooftop area alone is worth the rental. The host was extreamly accomodating and always easy to get in touch regarding questions or problems. This townhome is perfect for a large group of people with the lower bunk rooms and more private upstairs bedrooms. The views from the rooftop were incredible and you can see the entire downtown Austin from either the second floor balcony or rooftop. "
319759,14593168,2014-06-23,11020511,Colin,"Awesome spot for a large group in Austin. The house is perfect for relaxing in between activities in Austin, many of which are walking distance from the house. Kristen and company were great hosts and they were very responsive to every question we had. I would highly, highly recommend Austin itself, and this house in particular to anyone interested in a large group trip!"
319759,14949942,2014-06-30,12760199,Alexjudka,Everything was fantastic with the Swanky Townhouse on 6th. The townhouse itself was everything a group of 15 guys could possibly want for a bachelor party. The place is stocked with some booze and food which is a fantastic touch. The roof has a fantastic view of downtown Austin and the walk to wherever you want to go is a quick one. Highly recommend to anyone traveling to Austin with a large group. Dealing with Kristen was a breeze as she and her friends were available for any help or questions we had along the way. A+!
319759,15298406,2014-07-06,8619749,Michael,The reservation was canceled 117 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
319759,15670293,2014-07-14,5581834,Samuel,"The house was everything we expected, the location was perfect, and the host Kristen was super accommodating and responsive (she even sent cookies and a bottle of scotch our way!).  The house is literally just minutes (walking) from all the action on 6th, and Rainey street is only a short walk from there.  The house accommodated our entire group (18 total).  It was our first time to Austin and we couldn't have asked for more.  Such a fun city and a great place to stay!"
319759,16893188,2014-08-04,4746833,Adam,"Couldn't have asked for a better weekend in Austin for my friend's bachelor party and this condo was a HUGE reason! We had a group of 10 from California experiencing Austin for the first time, and the proximity to liquor stores, amazing food, and countless bars made our trip unforgettable. The hosts greeted us when we arrived with a fully stocked liquor cabinet and plenty of information about the city. Very helpful. I highly recommend this place to any fun group looking for a great weekend getaway. Rooftop is top notch!"
319759,18299094,2014-08-25,9787619,Adam,Kristen was fantastic. She made the stay very seamless. She constantly went out of her way and checked the mailbox for us since we shipped something to the house for our long weekend. The condo was spacious and perfect for us. We comfortably fit 13 people in the condo for my brothers bachelor party.
319759,18782433,2014-09-01,13324954,Benji,"Landed in Austin on a hot Thursday evening and were greeted by Kristen's work partner Tasha.  She checked us in, showed us all around and answered any and all questions we had.  The Loft itself was AMAZING!!!  Perfect for large parties and right in the middle of both parts of Austin.  And like stated in other reviews... it was perfectly clean and had a fully stocked bar to our amazement.  On Saturday Kristen and her husband Brian stopped by to say hello, hung-out for a couple hours and even brought us another nice bottle of scotch.  They were amazing to work with and always available to answer any questions we may have had.  Our group could get a little rowdy and noisy at times but they were always cool with us and let us know when to take a down a bit.  I would HIGHLY recommend their place to anyone traveling to Austin for any occasion.  It was the ""Perfect"" place for my best friends bachelor party bar-none.  Out of every place I've booked using AirBNB... this was by far the best experience I've had.  They have set the bar!!!"
319759,19999514,2014-09-22,8179217,Andrew,"The place is amazing! Kristen & Brian are very nice and accommodating. 
We were 10 people for a bachelor and there was more than enough space for everyone to sleep in a bed. Very convenient location for going out at night as well."
319759,20180646,2014-09-25,16440050,Kristen,"Overall the place was accommodating and we had a great experience! 
"
319759,20891871,2014-10-07,177672,Joseph,My stay at Kristen's place couldn't have been better.  The place is exactly as advertised - right in the heart of Austin with easy access to the entire city.  Kristen was extraordinarily helpful and hospitable before and during our stay.  If I'm ever back in Austin I would not hesitate one bit to stay at this great townhome again.
319759,21275062,2014-10-14,584894,Jeanine,"Kristina and Brian were great hosts and made us feel very welcome! the place is really nice, nicer than we had imagined.  We had a few hiccups along the way but our hosts were quick to respond and make sure our stay was perfect."
319759,21576978,2014-10-20,17550692,Craig,The house was perfect for a trip with friends. It's walkable to bars and barbeque. Everything was as described and the hosts made sure everything was ready and very helpful getting us everything we needed. Will stay here on my next trip to Austin.
319759,22575386,2014-11-10,14936220,Jarrett,"Kristen (and the condo) were fantastic!   Location is ideal for those wanting to experience downtown... beautiful views from the living area and rooftop.   For both check-in and check-out, I was impressed by the flexibility in timing, which was a huge help.   I only have positive things to say.   We never had to think about anything lodging related and due to having a large group, the communal spaces were such a bonus compared to hotels.  "
319759,22881528,2014-11-17,17821088,Samip,"Absolutely loved the house - this was our second stay at the Swanky Townhome on 6th street. Everything was well organized and clean and accommodating for our stay over the weekend. Instructions were very clear on how to leave the property too. 

Kristen does a fantastic job of making sure there are ample items of luxury for guests and I really recommend this property for groups visiting Austin! "
319759,23603837,2014-12-06,3938112,Sarah,Great neighborhood in a central location. Kristen was very accommodating and the place was beautiful.
319759,23741976,2014-12-09,20181001,Jeff,Great location.  Fantastic rooftop deck.  Hosts were very helpful with local information and welcoming us on the first day.
319759,23939585,2014-12-15,21322245,John,"Kristen and her team were great! After a quick text when I landed in Austin, I was greeted at the townhouse when I arrived, given a tour of the place and enjoying the case of beer we were greed with! Everything I needed to know was spelled out in the information card in the kitchen and the weekend was a breeze. Just to note, there were 11 of us staying here for the weekend. We were all very comfortable and there was plenty of roo for everyone. There were plenty of linens, kitchen ware and other small items so we only needed to shop for some groceries. "
319759,24184254,2014-12-22,18898409,Matthew,Great time. Kristen was easy to work with. The place is even better than it looks online and the location is perfect. There was plenty of space for 6 friends and the stocked bar was unnecessarily kind. Great Texas experience.
319759,24822792,2015-01-03,22040304,Matt,"Kristen was the perfect host! From meeting us at check in with a delayed flight right through to leaving she was most accomdating. 
Apartment was perfect for oue stay and highly recommended! Perfect for parties and close to everything you need in Austin! Coming all the way from Australia it was great to have such a perfect stay with no worries at all! And a fully stocked bar was a hit!"
319759,25009575,2015-01-05,21891997,Haresh,"Host: Kristen was great. She was very responsive, nice, and left great suggestions. She is also extremely accommodating. 

Apartment: The apartment was amazing. Huge rooms, clean, plenty of space, great for small parties or big parties. All of my buddies enjoyed the place. It also has a very nice rooftop. 

Location: the location is perfect. Very close proximity to all the major bars. There is quick and good tasting food across the street, as well as this awesome bar/coffee shop a block away. "
319759,25590733,2015-01-20,21914667,James,"Stayed here for a 13-guy bachelor party and it was all we could have hoped for. Kristen was so responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the entire process. It was a great experience.

Townhouse: Very impressive. Even after seeing the website of the photos, everyone was really impressed when they arrived at the apartment. It had the space to accommodate a large group comfortably and the 3.5 bathrooms were really clutch. The rooftop was really nice and had outdoor Bluetooth speakers and plenty of room.

Location: Great. It was a short walk to all the fun on Dirty 6th street, Rainey Street, breakfast taco trucks, etc. The only time we used a cab all weekend was to/from airport and to SaltLick BBQ which was a 30 min drive away. 

*If you have a large group and need transportation anywhere (gun range, SaltLick BBQ, airport, etc.)  ask Kristen or Jessica for the contact info for Travis. He operates a group van and was great and was very reasonable."
319759,25784148,2015-01-26,11773128,Ahmad,"This house is like nothing you've ever seen before.  It is in a perfect location within walking distance to the 6th street bar scene as well as Rainey Street.  I went down to Austin for my bachelor party and this house fit 14 of us very comfortably. 

Kristen is the best host you could ask for.  She made sure to have someone at the house when we arrived to welcome us and followed up to make sure we had everything we needed. 

Don't look any further, this is your place if you're in Austin.

-Ahmad"
319759,26305013,2015-02-09,25550387,Kate,"We had a great weekend at the townhouse. It is well maintained, clean, and had plenty of space for a party of 8. Great location and an awesome rooftop deck. Kristen was very responsive and helpful. I'd definitely recommend this place if you are looking for accommodations for a group! "
319759,26972139,2015-02-23,21763148,Matthew,"The house was awesome, especially the roof. The neighborhood was awesome. We couldn't have had a better time. Highly recommended for anyone taking a large group to Austin. Jessica was really helpful when we arrived, and she even brought us some beers. You won't be disappointed!"
319759,29810180,2015-04-13,13093458,Megan,"The location of this condo is perfect for experiencing the entire city by walking. We had 12 girls stay at the house for a 30+ year old bachelorette party and it fit everyone well.  There are two bedrooms upstairs each with their own full bathroom complete with shampoo/conditioner/soap, one king bed and one with a queen bed and a twin. The middle floor has a really cool kitchen and living space with a cool view, a half bath and a smaller deck. Downstairs is a large room (used to be the garage it seems) with 6 double/queen beds, all with comfortable bedding. There is also a full bath downstairs. We felt very safe. The beds/linens were extremely comfortable, it has a cool vibe to the place and everything you need in the kitchen to cook. The roof deck is large with nice furniture and an awesome view! Kristen and her team were very accommodating and came running if we needed anything at all! I would suggest this for a large close knit group that doesn't need a lot of privacy, especially for the downstairs set up."
319759,30275029,2015-04-20,23165460,Cara,"This house was exactly as advertised and we had such an incredible stay there. The decor is awesome and funky but still functional - and the house is very clean. Kristen was communicative and helpful leading up to the trip, and her colleague was on call 24/7 to answer all of our questions throughout the weekend. The rooftop was AMAZING. beautiful views and the bluetooth speaker situation was awesome. The beds were so comfortable in all of the rooms, and we honestly loved every single part of the experience. There was a liquor store across the street which was so convenient and the location was perfect to access all different parts of the city. We stayed there for a bachelorette party and have friends there staying for a bachelor party this summer. Recommend it for any type for group stay!"
319759,31931505,2015-05-12,25848824,Chris,"The place was in a great location, and our bachelor party of 8 had plenty of room. The complimentary bottle of scotch was very nice, and the rooftop deck with Bluetooth speakers was also fantastic. "
319759,32451696,2015-05-18,7037064,George,"A great place and even better hosts. Very conveniently located close to all of the action in downtown Austin. Perfect for big parties that want to all hang out together rather than rent several hotel rooms. Excellent roof deck!

Kristen and her team checked on us several times, left a few thoughtful gifts and were highly responsive."
319759,34398867,2015-06-08,1292007,Phil,"Kristen is a pro.  She was available to answer all questions before arrival.  When we got to Austin, 2 helpers were available via text 24/7 to let us in, give us a tour, and answer any questions.  

The place was fully stocked with goodies. Local beer, booze, snacks, even a box of cupcakes which was a nice touch.  Soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, etc were all fully stocked too.

The place is near the street/ partially on the ground floor, which you wouldn't imagine in photos.  Specifically the big 6-bed room, which is a converted garage.  It wasn't an issue at all. Assuming you're tired out by the sun at the end of the day, it won't matter.  It didn't bother us.  If you're a family, and you're there for peace and quiet, it might be a little noisy.  

Overall, an amazing setup. Perfect for us. Thanks Kristen!!!"
319759,35057380,2015-06-15,17768271,Regina,"I rented this house for my bachelorette party for 13 girls and it couldn't have been more perfect.  It was exactly as depicted in the pictures and had plenty of room for all of us to have our own space and so many different areas to hang out.  We tended to congregate on the roof the most because the weather was so nice and the view of downtown was awesome!  Clint met us there and showed us around and made sure if we needed anything he was readily available.  They had gotten us all sorts of Austin beers to try, which was really nice and above what most hosts would do.  The place was clean and the beds were really comfortable.   Everywhere we went was 10 minutes from the house, it is in the best location!   Couldn't have been happier with the service, location and home itself.  I'd definitely rent it again if I went back with a large group!"
319759,36498617,2015-06-29,22416003,Steve,"Rented this place for a bachelor party of 15 guys and it definitely made the trip. Prior to arrival Kristen was able to answer any questions we had in a timely fashion. Upon arrival, there was someone at the place to greet us, shows us around, answer any questions, and see if we needed anything. They had local craft beer for us to have which was a nice addition. There was plenty of room for everyone in the place to sleep and get ready. It was great to not have to bring towels and showering supplies as the place already had everything. The place is in a very convenient location, can easily walk to 6th and Rainey St. Also there are a lot of really good food places nearby. Kristen and her team are dedicated to making sure that you have a great time on your trip to Austin. Would definitely recommend this place to future groups. "
319759,37446451,2015-07-07,19651628,Garen,Stayed here with 10 other guys for my brother's bachelor party and I must say this was EXACTLY the house we were looking for. Very conveniently located and perfectly accommodating all of our needs for a very reasonable price. Thanks Kristen!
319759,38252900,2015-07-14,26863117,Phillip,"The Swanky Townhome on 6th does not disappoint!  The Inn Cahoots team were all incredibly accommodating.  They were cordial, inviting and this townhome's location is an easy walk right onto 6th.  We were a team of 11 and this place was the prime location for everything.  

They were readily available any point before, during and after the trip, were willing to be flexible with our schedules.  They offered plenty of recommendations and could not be more top notch. This team and location could not be more better!  

They also welcomed us with beers and K-cups for our visit. Uber is vibrant in Austin and there are plenty of drivers to get you to and from places and will drop you off right in front of your unit.

If we come back to Austin, this is with whom we plan to go with once again!  Thank you guys for everything!"
319759,38974926,2015-07-20,844791,Nicole,"A group of 12 girls came to Austin (most for the 1st time) and stayed at Kristen's place. Our experience could not have been better. The townhouse is the perfect place to stay... the location is close to everything and the setup of the house was more than expected and slept everyone very comfortably. The house was stocked with everything we needed, even keurig coffee cups :) Clint worked with me from the time of booking to check out and was THE BEST HOST I have ever had. He is truly an expert when it comes to Austin day & night life. He gave us the best recommendations for exactly what we wanted. All in all, this was the best Airbnb experience I've had and we would definitely stay there again if we go back to Austin."
319759,39900986,2015-07-27,26539882,Michael,"This townhouse was everything we could have asked for and more.  The location is perfect, and the amount of space was great.  We were here for bachelor party and had plenty of beds to house everyone. Clint met us right on time, and provided lots of different local beers for us to try out.  The house was fully stocked with linens, towels, and toiletries.  Location is ideal for walking to anywhere on 6th street, and you can't beat the views from the roof deck.  

I would definitely recommend this house for anyone looking to have a great time in Austin.  Kristen and her team were great throughout the whole process."

319759,43020022,2015-08-17,23682267,Joe,"This is by far the best house to rent for large groups! We had 12 guest for a bachelor party and everything we needed was in walking distance to the house which saved us a top of money on taxi's and Uber costs. We met with the property manager Clint who was over accommodating and all around a cool guy! The rooftop was great for sunsets and I give this whole experience, from booking to checking out, 10 out of 10! Will definitely be referring this house to friends and family who plan on visiting Austin! "

The condo was amazing - plenty of room for all 14 of us, amazing roof deck, and the beds were super comfy!  Clint was really helpful in letting us know the ""hot spots"" that we must go to in Austin.

Overall, we had a fabulous weekend!"

We texted our host when we landed and he met us 15 minutes later at the house.  We had no major issues with the place, and even the minor issues, were taken care of by the host without hesitation.  They even provided us with some Austin beers to kick off our weekend.  Overall worked out perfect."

The hosts were very accommodating and even stocked the fridge with a few cases of beer to get us started. "
319759,50612737,2015-10-13,13241493,Jake,"The Inn Cahoots team did a great job for us for our stay in Austin.  They were flexible on times and offered to make some airport runs.  The apt was great and perfect for our purposes of a 13/14 person bachelor party.  The location was also ideal as it was close to downtown, not far from ACL and has a liquor store, gas station convenience store and a Wendy's right there.  Solid food trucks were just around the corner as well.  We had a great weekend and I would highly recommend this property and the Inn Cahoots team."
319759,51261588,2015-10-19,29510835,Bradley,"Epic. Location is amazing.  Walk-able to 6th, Rainey and the college are super easy.  Ubers/Lyfts super easy to get to the house if you need to go somewhere else also.   House was just as pictured.  Great party pad.  We have 14 and were plenty comfortable with tons of room.  100% would recommend this place and stay again.   Great hosts who were constantly in contact to make sure we were having a good time and had everything we needed.  Couldn't have been better!"
962669,3811284,2013-03-17,5408722,Amanda,"Lisa was a great host!  She was really helpful in providing advice for how to get around Austin during SXSW.  From the moment we arrived, she offered great suggestions for places to go around town, and she even provided maps.  Her house is beautiful and clean, and our room was quite comfortable.  I'd definitely recommend staying with Lisa, especially if you have a car and don't mind the 10-15 minute drive to get downtown.  "

366699,21148467,2014-10-12,12199117,Cagatay,"Carrie and Nate were very welcoming. They greeted us on the day of our arrival and made sure we were well placed into the house. They gave us a thorough introduction to the area regarding the restaurants, nightlife and any kind of activities. They gave awesome recommendations that we enjoyed throughout our time in Austin. The house is newly modeled and designed very nicely. The house is secured with an alarm system and is placed in a safe neighboorhood. You will definitely have a peace of mind staying in this house. It was very easy to park your car in front of the house and it was only a 10-minute drive to downtown area of Austin. Both the bathroom and the bedroom were newly cleaned up for our arrival. We could not ask for anything more than what Carrie and Nate already provided. If you are thinking about a trip to Austin, make sure you choose Carrie and Nate if you would like a safe, clean, affordable stay with a very warm, welcoming couple that can provide you with kindness and true hospitality, and great taste in recommendations for restaurants, night life and activities."
366699,28109775,2015-03-17,28564156,Andrew,"We stayed at Carrie and Nate's place at the beginning of the 2015 SXSW festival. Their hospitality is excellent and their home is a beautiful, lovingly cared-for ranch about 10 minutes from downtown Austin. If you plan to check out downtown, their property will require a car. An advantage is that you are on a quiet suburban side-street with little traffic and a safe atmosphere. Parking is no issue in their neighborhood, either. Carrie and Nate are great hosts and are very well-informed about the area. They had plenty of suggestions for dining, live music, and outdoor recreation that failed to disappoint. Carrie and Nate are very kind-natured and we enjoyed conversing with them about everything from art to music to cuisine. There is a second bathroom for guest use, and all amenities are provided. We felt at home here and would recommend their place to anyone who wants to visit Austin. This is a beautiful space with great custom remodeling and original artwork. Highly recommended!"
366699,37426369,2015-07-06,35743566,Carolyn,"Carrie and Nate were welcoming, friendly, concerned, and generous hosts. They were more than accommodating when I added days to my stay, and they were very patient guiding me in when my map app failed to get me there even though it was 10 pm. Carrie gave me some excellent tips on where to go in Austin.

Their home is artsy mid-century in a transitioning neighborhood, and their 2 little dogs are adorable. I had a bathroom to myself and the room was spacious and clean. The bed was almost too firm, but there were plenty of pillows and blankets. Everything was clean and they supplied toiletries. 

You do need a car to stay in their section of town, and if you're not from Austin, a gps. I don't know how you'd get around successfully without one. Traffic/road/layout-wise Austin is a city that shows all the signs of having grown very fast, and trying to get around reflects this, and apparently the public transportation hasn't caught up yet,

I completely enjoyed my stay. If you have a car, I highly recommend staying with Carrie and Nate!

"
366699,41285169,2015-08-05,40081737,Tommy,"Carrie and her husband were very welcoming and the description was very accurate. Barely noticed the dogs were there and the place was very close to downtown Austin. Very comfy and cozy house, would recommend!!!!!"
366699,41671393,2015-08-08,39393189,Mackenzie,"Carrie and Nate were wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming and hospitable. Carrie gave us excellent recommendations for food and activities all over the city. They were readily available and quick to respond to texts. The room was exactly as advertised; very clean and comfortable. It also had a tv with Netflix (Roku, etc) and coffee, oatmeal in the room, which were nice additional touches. You realistically need a car to get anywhere in Austin, so being on the Northern end of the city was never an issue. Overall our experience was superb and we will happily return for our next stay in Austin!"
366699,44081731,2015-08-23,579399,Leah,"Carrie was an awesome hostess and this stay had a great vibe. My friend and I spent 2 nights while visiting Austin for the first time. She had suggestions for the area, was super accessible and flexible, and kept us in granola bars and oatmeal and tea and dark chocolate. Big recommend!"

366699,49155622,2015-10-01,1878307,Andrea,"Carrie and Nate were incredibly welcoming and great hosts! I made a reservation less than 24 hours from needing a place and they were able to accommodate for that. When I needed to extend my length of stay by quite a few days (like 10) until I could move into my apartment they were more than willing to help out. 
Being new to town they provided great recommendations and tips on where to eat, find coffee, be outdoors etc. Carrie also was a wealth of knowledge about different areas of town to live in. I really enjoyed talking and getting to know them.
The room was a nice size with closet space and drawers, comfortable bed,  tv in the room with Roku and a great little ""breakfast bar"" complete with oatmeal, coffee, tea, kind bars. 
I had my car and there was always ample parking in front of the house and it was really easy to drive around and get to all parts of Austin. 
I would stay here again without a doubt! Thank you Carrie and Nate. "
366699,49916283,2015-10-07,12737940,Denise,Carrie and Nate were great hosts and so is their place. We had a wonderful time in Austin and appreciated all the recommomdations they gave us. The room and bathroom were cozy and clean. Everything we needed was provided. Thanks again!

366699,50469281,2015-10-12,8398474,Rachel,"My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Carrie and Nate's place for 3 nights. On arrival, we were welcomed by Nate who was welcoming and warm. I can echo past reviewers by saying both our room and the bathroom were clean. We also found the coffee/tea, granola bars, oatmeal, and water to be special touches that made us feel even more at home. The bed is on the firm side but comfortable nonetheless. Their home is in a nice location with easy access to highways and downtown. While we didn't see much of the hosts due to differing schedules, they were easily reached by text if we had any questions. Thank you, Carrie and Nate, for allowing us to share your space!"
366699,51733826,2015-10-24,37443847,Kirsten,"I enjoyed meeting Carrie and Nate they are both very warm and welcoming. The house is bright with fun art throughout. Most importantly, the firm bed was comfortable and I had a great nights sleep. They gave me tips for the area and perfect food recommendations. I would stay here again without hesitation."
366699,51739605,2015-10-24,44147449,Mike,Wow! Everything was exceptional and surpassed all of my expectations. I had the pleasure of an extended stay at Carrie and Nate's and found their hospitality welcoming and sincere. Their home was delightful and amenities plentiful. Bonus being a fantastic location with easy access to Austin's delights from the local Mueller Market area through to the North Loop areas and the rest of central Austin. Their food recommendations were impeccable and some of the best tastes America has to offer. Austin is at the top of it's game and I'm glad I chose to experience it through such wonderful hosts! Thanks guys. Hope to be back!
366699,52532012,2015-10-30,9951995,Nella,The room was as described. Convenient for my short stay. Close to downtown and Dell Children's Medical center. I recommend staying here for sure. Carrie and her husband were nice and recommended an awesome restaurant in downtown.
596342,20897278,2014-10-07,9153063,Daryl,"Elke's place was great. Check-in was made easy with the help of Elke's friend Kathy, who helped make us feel at home buy providing us with some of her favorite local coffee! Everyone commented about the great energy at Elke's place as well. Lastly, the back yard is awesome and you cant beat the location, especially for ACL. The only complaint is there is only two actual beds. "
5297722,29739231,2015-04-12,26249477,Gail,Brigitte has a lovely home in a beautiful neighborhood.  This was our first airbnb booking and I was a little hesitant about staying in a private home. We couldn't have had a more positive experience. Everything was neat and clean.  The home was comfortable and nicely decorated.  The bathrooms were newly remodeled.  The kitchen was spacious and well stocked.  The beds were very comfortable and made up with nice linens.  Thank you Brigitte for sharing your home with us.  We wish we would have had more time to relax and hang out in the back yard. 
4821958,27377199,2015-03-02,25637416,Peyman,"We stayed at Roberts place over the weekend. The house is located in a great location. It's about a 10 min drive from downtown and other locations that we visited. We ubered it everywhere so it helped w the cost. 
The house itself is gorgeous and very clean. Robert provided us with everything and asked to see if we needed anything else while we were there. The hot tub was a huge plus since we came during cold weather. 
Master bedroom has a great view. Lots of room for us to have privacy and feel cozy. 
Robert was very accommodating. 
We would definitely stay with him again if the house is available. It'll be great for the summer! "
4821958,27812020,2015-03-12,9049790,Jani,"Robert was not only a great host but a wonderful introduction to the AirB&B experience during extremely challenging travel conditions due to the March snowstorm.  He worked with us on our trip being shortened(due to the weather cancellations) which we greatly appreciated!  We found the house easily and loved the house.  It was impeccably clean and comfortable. This is a well stocked kitchen, all the pots, pans, etc. that you need to cook with. Nice washer and dryer if you are staying for a longer time. We loved the neighborhood. Walking distance to shops and restaurants in Hyde Park. The bathrooms were very clean and spacious.  Robert was so gracious to let us use his hot tub located next door.  We loved the design of the house, although I am not sure it would work with young toddlers (see the the long stairs).  We enjoyed the privacy upstairs."
4821958,28083913,2015-03-17,857302,George,Robert was very communicative leading up to our stay and through a couple of questions we had during our stay. The place is comfortable and in a quiet location.
4821958,28904549,2015-03-31,20066168,Martin,"Robert's craftsman house is stylish & comfortable, in a lovely tree-lined neighbourhood.  Facilities were as described, with 2 spacious bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, lounge & dining area.  Robert was very friendly, and flexible about arrival times.  Nice touches like coffee and tea provided.  The location is very convenient - walking distance from Hyde Park store, coffee shop and restaurants, and also from the restaurants and bars at The Triangle."

4821958,39794647,2015-07-26,16262004,Joe,Robert's house was a great set up for our transition to Austin. We arrived in Austin and had another week until our stuff arrived. We arranged to have Roberts house for family coming to help us with childcare and setting up our rental house. His house became our home base and had everything we needed for us and visitors. Robert was more than accommodating with clear instructions  for everything for our stay. 
4821958,43527742,2015-08-20,993926,Danni,"Roberts' place was exactly what we needed for our extended stay in Austin. It's located in a really quiet, leafy street but still within walking distance to local groceries, walgreens and cafes. Everything in Roberts' place was comfortable and designed well. It's very spacious and kept well. Comfortable bed, good shower pressure and Netflix, what more could you want!

Check in/out was smooth and hassle free. Robert was great to talk to and brought us in some grocery items which was much appreciated. 

I hope we get to stay here again next time we visit. Thanks for having us! "

It's at walking distance from downtown which helps a lot when you need to get back home during the festival. "
1683591,11350129,2014-03-31,11601542,Jennifer,"Heather not only has a beautiful place with a perfect location, but she proved to be such a fabulous host!  We communicated prior to and all throughout our stay -- always detailed and timely in her response.  We felt right at home in her clean home.  Her hospitality to stock the fridge prior to was such a convenience saver.

To anyone interested in a quaint stay in Austin, this is your place!

Thank you for opening up your home for our first visit in Austin.  Hope to be back soon!"
1683591,11739337,2014-04-14,10782716,Travis,"It was exactly as represented, maybe a little better.  Loved the host.  Heather was extremely accomodating.  We ended up fitting about 11 people in the house and it was great.  Heather was always there to help throughout the weekend and seemed very concerned that we had an awesome time in her home."
1683591,12282132,2014-04-28,12966076,Greg,"Great place, even better host!  The apartment was nice and clean and accommodated 10 guys easily.  Location was good with easy access to 6th street, cabs and buses.  

But the best part was Heather!  She was super responsive and helpful and we could tell she really cared about us having a great time on our trip.  She even helped us find a last minute boat reservation and gave us advice on restaurants/bars.  Our trip wouldn't have been the same without her!  "
1683591,12544954,2014-05-05,13089805,John,"Heather was as good a host as a guest could ask for. The apartment is exactly as represented and she is extremely hospitable. She was accessible and friendly and the location is outstanding. The apartment is well-maintained, has nice amenities, and is very spacious.

1683591,13079460,2014-05-19,13164526,Giuseppe,Heather was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed. The apartment was larger than it appeared to be in the pictures (a very nice surprise) and walking distance to tons of food and nightlife. I would highly recommend staying at Heathers place. If you're not sure about booking: do yourself a favor and book now. You won't be disappointed. 
1683591,13369243,2014-05-26,319452,Jamal,"Heather was a great host. We started communicating shortly after I booked her location via email and text. She was very responsive and helpful. Her welcome letter had all the information you would need for your stay. The apartments location was perfect as it was very close to downtown and 6th street. Conformable beds, clean bathrooms and very spacious for our larger party. Having a jeep included with the stay was a deal that you will not be able to find anywhere else. Being able to cruise through Austin in the jeep made the trip so much more fantastic. Thanks so much Heather!"
1683591,15690818,2014-07-14,15942609,Ashley,We had the best experience working with Heather. She is very quick with communication and truly wants her home to be your home. She goes above and beyond to meet any need her guests have. Heather's apartment is very nice and she takes very great care of it.  We were able to fit 15 girls with no problem.  The neighborhood is a perfect location to get downtown and any major highway in Austin.
1683591,16944692,2014-08-04,10053329,John,"Heather's place was so well located, and she responded to all my texts almost too quickly!! We had an amazing time, she did actually make austin more fun, which we thought was impossible, glad we found her, please make any excuse to stay here!!!
"
1683591,17446364,2014-08-12,15009041,Jesse,"Heather and her place were both equally awesome! She made everything incredibly easy for us, gave us the lay of the land and helped out wherever she could. We had a package shipped to her place before and it was waiting for us when we arrived. We had access to a Jeep which made getting little things a lot easier and the complex she's in has a great pool, busy with people on the weekends. I recommend Heather's place to anyone looking into travelling to Austin."
1683591,17840882,2014-08-18,17430590,Matthew,"Heather was a very welcoming host!  Everything was described exactly how she says and it is fully stocked with practically everything that you would need.

1683591,19192676,2014-09-08,6256762,Joe,"Although we never met in person Heather was great.  She had the place all set for us including a great welcome book with maps and guides.  The listing is extremely accurate although the photos don't show how nice her outdoor sitting area is.  It has flower beds and a grill!  She was very receptive to any questions we had. 

The location is maybe one of the best in Austin.  It is a super short walk to the cool shops of SoCo where there are 2 B-cycle bikeshare kiosks which allow you to get all around the city.  Its also just a very short walk to see the Bats on the Congress bridge and to downtown. "
1683591,19587844,2014-09-15,13452121,David,"Heather was an excellent host. Although we did not meet her in person, she was easily reachable by phone, responded very quickly to my emails, and provided help and assistance whenever I needed it. I really felt at home in her apartment, which was very nice, clean, and well-located. It was a little tight for 11 guys, but Heather provided us with enough air mattresses to compensate."

1683591,21277029,2014-10-14,16575502,Jeff,"Both Heather and her apartment were amazing!  The place was even better than she described.  My friends and I stayed in the apartment for the second weekend of ACL, and everyone agreed that it was perfect.  Heather was an extremely gracious host, and even dropped off some rain ponchos when it was a little rainy on the second day of the festival.  Perfect experience!"
1683591,22353328,2014-11-04,80388,Wayne,"Heather was incredible to work with. She was quick to respond, very courteous, hospitable  and a pleasure to deal with.

We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to our next trip to Austin. "
1683591,24782252,2015-01-02,10102993,Eveline,"We've never met Heather in person, but she's always available through texts and she responds very quickly! I love how she thoughtfully organized everything to welcome the guests; you can easily find everything you would need in the house. I unexpectedly had to request for additional parking permit in the morning (my arrival was in the evening on the same day), and she took care of it in a minute!
Comfy beds and spacious sofa -- her apartment is perfect for groups. Highly recommended not only because it's a terrific apartment, but also because it's hosted by an excellent host.

Thanks for sharing your home with us!"
1683591,25066347,2015-01-05,701997,Sungho,"Heather was very accommodating to our needs, allowing us to check in and check out with a lot of flexibility. Her place was clean and comfortably fit the 8 people who were in my party. The apartments location is great as it's right on one of the most popular streets, S. Congress, and a short 5 minute ($7) Uber/Lyft to most areas of DT for nightlight. Lastly, the apartment was a great value considering the space and location. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone visiting Austin. "
1683591,25580292,2015-01-19,26060677,Maria,"I didn't actually meet Heather but she was the most amazing host for my group of 8 girls. She responds within an hour and is very accommodating. We came in on a Friday evening and everything was ready for us -- including some additional refreshments suitable for a bachelorette party ;). The beds were very comfortable and two of the girls opted to sleep on the (huge) couch -- which was also very comfortable. The location couldn't have been better - we were within walking distance of amazing food trucks, ice cream, coffee, and bars. Thank you Heather!!!"
1683591,25830733,2015-01-26,20062686,James,"Heather was a very helpful host, providing loads of information before and during the stay about the property and Austin. The property was large and clean and in a very good location for a night in downtown and boozy brunch the morning after."

1683591,26973946,2015-02-23,733438,Alex,The host was made sure the apartment was expected it to be. The apartment itself is absolutely beautiful and easily sleeps the seven people we had for our bachelor party. South Congress Street is a very cool area to be in and there are a lot of places to explore. It is walking distance to downtown and to Sixth Street. A very fun area to be and Heather simply made it even more awesome!
1683591,27649547,2015-03-09,26432048,Carly,"The location is perfect, Heather's description of the apartment was perfect, and Heather's hospitality was perfect! Five stars. Never used AirBnb before but I had the best experience. Thanks Heather!! "
1683591,28115627,2015-03-18,4518198,Frank,"As a nine time attendee of SXSW Interactive, I know that finding housing and/or hotel rooms is a nightmare. Finding a place close to the conferences while being affordable is almost impossible – UNTIL, we came across the perfect condo rental on Airbnb. This rental was only a short walk to everywhere we needed to be.   It also combined the feeling of home with amenities that a hotel could never offer.
The property is very spacious. There was plenty of room to sleep the 5 of us with more room to spare!  The condo had character with its airbnb wall decorated with pictures and souvenirs from previous renters. It was equipped with all the necessities (towels, sheets, even shampoo – if you forgot it!) The back door led out to a nice patio with seating and a back yard. It was the perfect place to enjoy the Austin sun with a beer in hand! 
What brings me the most pleasure to talk about is our amazing host! Heather is so nice and our entire group could tell she really enjoyed having us. She welcomed us with beers and offered for us to use any supplies we needed while we were there. She even gave us access to her car if we wanted to go further outside the city. 
I give this rental an A+ and we hope to get it again for SXSW next year! This experience shaped our trip in the best ways possible. It is definitely worth it!
"
1683591,28241123,2015-03-20,1975628,Dean,"Heather is a fantastic host and the apartment was wonderful, clean , and had plenty of room for our semi-big group of people.

1683591,28376674,2015-03-23,3210821,Charlie,"Heather was a great host.  Her place is clean and loaded with great amenities (TV's/washer/dryer/coffee maker) and it's in a good location.  She lists things to do, places of interest to see and great places to eat in the area.  She was also very easy to communicate with and worked with us on our check in/out times.  We had a great experience and highly recommend this place and this host."
1683591,29463392,2015-04-07,477170,Lorissa,Heather was extremely organized and efficient.  Everything was comfortable and well done.  Great host. You cannot beat the location on South Congress because ALL is walkable from there.  Would definitely stay again.
1683591,29821049,2015-04-13,26701163,Alak,"Heather was very friendly and accommodating. She knew we were coming for a bachelor party and even got us a bottle of local scotch. Her place was comfortable and clean. It was great for what we wanted. The location was very convenient and the description was accurate. We misread the description thinking there were 7 real beds, but that was our fault - not hers. Heather was also accommodating with the checkout time. Great place and we definitely recommend it! Thanks Heather! "
1683591,30052309,2015-04-16,8246348,Eetu,"What an awesome experience! 

The place was perfect, clean and spacious with a great location in a wonderful area. Easy to walk everywhere. The pool is nice but the backyard is what made the visit so great! It was just so cool to have a bbq and sit down and relax in the backyard!

There are lots of great reviews about Heather already and I agree with them 100%. She is super friendly and everything worked very well and what more could one ask for. 

The definite AirBnB experience for sure!"
1683591,30280609,2015-04-20,26163462,David,"We really enjoyed staying here, the location was perfect, easy access to S. Congress and a short Uber to 6th St., couldn't have been any better. Heather did an awesome job coordinating with us, so all in all, a great experience!"
1683591,30759407,2015-04-27,26579952,Kalyan,"Everything was fantastic during this stay!! I came in for my brother's bachelor party and 10 of us were staying at this awesome pad, and we loved it. Everything was clean, and as good as it sounded! Heather and Susan were both supremely hospitable and helped coordinate trips from the airport and even pick up grocery food!! They gave us tips about enjoying Austin and I always felt like they were in a good mood and extremely warm and welcoming. Everyone was floored by how incredibly lucky we were to stay here!!"
1683591,35061173,2015-06-15,12669490,Matt,Heather made our experience in Austin a fantastic one.  The description did not mislead us in any way and the place and location were both perfect.  She was super attentive to our needs and was available for calls in case we had any questions or concerned.  Really a perfect experience - thank you Heather!
1683591,37315418,2015-07-06,8533256,Maggie,"Heather was an amazing host! The apt was perfect for our Bachelorette Party needs, and she was available for suggestions with an almost immediate response time. I would go back here again in a heartbeat!"
1683591,38116394,2015-07-13,1588687,Natalie,"Heather was GREAT! Super hospitable, left us things to eat and drink in the fridge, and even had her partner pick up one of my friends from the airport! She went above and beyond to make our weekend enjoyable. I am so glad we booked here!! "
1683591,39002825,2015-07-20,3576158,Michelle,"Amazing time in Austin!! Went with a group of 10 for a bachelorette and had a lovely time. The location is fantastic - between SoCo shopping district and the river - excellent home base to explore the city! Heather was very hospitable and even offered another bathroom she had in another apt should we need more shower space. She also left a great gift for us when we arrived! The place was clean, homey and comfortable - just as described in the listing. I would recommend this place to anyone with a large group as it really fosters a warm communal atmosphere. There is also a beautiful pool/gym/BBQ area to enjoy. Thanks so much Heather!!"
1683591,40077846,2015-07-28,29073650,Nick,"Heather was a very welcoming host! Right from the moment we made the reservation she responded via email with a very hospitable and warm welcome. This was my first airbnb experience and i couldn't have been more pleased.
The place was as described and as pictured. We had 14 guys out for a bachelor party and we were tight but it was fine with the bunk beds and couch space/air mattresses/cot. The apartment complex couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone in the place seemed to be in the 21-32 year age range and were all very nice. The pool was very active with full bbq area and one of the residents playing music.
Unfortunately, the Jeep was stolen the week before our trip so we did not get to use it but Heather was quick to resolve the situation and bought us some essentials we needed upon arrival and gave us cash for Uber's while we were there.
Overall, we had such a great time. The location is perfect, right in between downtown/6th st/Rainey and all that the SoCo area has to offer (restaurants, food trucks and cool shops). I recommend it for anyone looking to be a quick Uber ride away from everything that Austin has to offer."
1683591,40895792,2015-08-03,30158828,Rachana,"Great experience in Austin. Heather is a great host! The apartment was neat and was perfect for our weekend stay. Anything we had a question about, she was able to answer in a mannerly time. If we requested for anything she was able to follow through right away! Very kind, polite, willing to do whatever the guest needs. "
1683591,47615037,2015-09-21,24130508,Jessica,"Heather made us feel very welcome. She went above and beyond, and I can't imagine other airBNB hosts give that type of exceptional treatment. She personally came by to give us a wine gift, left us breakfast food and told us we should feel free to use anything in the house. "
1683591,48677486,2015-09-28,780699,Ben,This place is great! Perfect location and amenities.  Heather was very accommodating!
1683591,50428570,2015-10-12,12124241,Katie,"Heather was a great host before and during our stay.  She was very responsive, thoughtful and went above and beyond when it came to making sure we were accommodated and felt comfortable in her home.  The home was in a great location and offered myself and the 8 girls in our party enough room to get ready, cook and hang out together.  

I overall was very happy with the experience; the only setback was when it came time to figure out sleeping arrangements.  The apartment has 3 beds that each fit two people which left the remaining 3 girls to air mattresses which ended up being a little difficult to assemble and took up a lot of the free communal space we had."
1683591,51293897,2015-10-19,4871318,Jordan,The place was great and we had a great time. Heather was readily available and helpful! The location was great! It worked out great for our party of 11.
4974255,25764065,2015-01-25,15353959,Kristin,"The Kanga guesthouse was super comfortable and stylish, with new, modern furnishings and a cute kitchenette and bath. Anna and Chad were great hosts as well! They were really friendly and responsive to all of our needs. We definitely would not hesitate to stay with them again should we return to Austin! "
4974255,25980290,2015-01-31,404518,Jacqueline,"The Kanga was awesome! Perfect functional compact space that I enjoyed while traveling alone on business. Everything was comfortable and well-appointed. Anna and Chad were respectful, gracious and accessible hosts. The E Cesar Chavez neighborhood has great restaurants and bars walking distance on the unique East Side. I hope to be able to stay here again!"

4974255,26320897,2015-02-09,575262,Vivian,"Our stay with Anna at the Kanga was SUPERB!  The Kanga is set up so that you can enter/exit the Kanga area without disturbing the host.  It is located in the backyard of the mainhouse so has the perfect amount of privacy and/or interaction with the hosts if desired.  Anna made us feel extremely welcome, and even further accommodated our stay by letting me bring along my corgi!  My corgi had a lot of fun in the backyard and also with her friendly dogs.  Anna was very flexible with check-in and check-out; she even let us hang out later on our last day of our stay!

The Kanga itself is very modern, and despite its small size felt very spacious inside and had everything we needed away from home.  Anna left us snacks and a few shiners in the refrigerator which was a pleasant addition to our stay.  The bed was very comfortable and fit 2 comfortably + a corgi! 

The neighborhood is great too; very hip and up & coming . It is very close to many areas by car and even more places by foot as well.  

I would definitely come back and stay at the Kanga if ever visiting Austin again. "
4974255,26429576,2015-02-12,3129376,Matthew & Harmoni,"Anna was a friendly host with a couple of sweet dogs and a cute baby. The lodging was comfortable, well appointed, and she was very generous with leaving snacks, beer, coffee, etc. If you're looking to explore East Austin with all of its great food, coffee, beer, cocktails, music venues, trails, etc., this is a great and very walkable location. Anna was very prompt via email/text communication, had the lodging ready ahead of schedule for me to check in, and was very reasonable with check out time on my final day. Overall, many thanks for a great stay, Anna. "
4974255,26689096,2015-02-17,5059854,Jana,"Anna is one of the most welcoming hosts you can find! I flew in for the marathon and she had left me snacks and even pasta to cook before my race (and a warm note!)! Anna was communicative and courteous. If I'm ever back in Austin I'll definitely stay again!

The Kanga is clean and comfortable, definitely large enough for the two of us. The location has easy access to bicycle share and to the bars/restaurants along 6th street. "
4974255,26797618,2015-02-19,19034115,Jk,"We had a great experience staying in Anna and her family's Kanga. The unit itself is private, bright and cheery, clean and surprisingly spacious given the small space. Anna was a marvel making us feel welcome. After mentioning I was a coffee-addict in our exchanges before arrival, she found and left a list of the best cafes in Austin. She went above and beyond- making our trip a delightful experience. I would highly recommend staying at their estate."
4974255,26931426,2015-02-22,1685560,Nate,"The Kanga was one of our favorite Airbnb experiences to date. Anna and her husband have a hand's off style, which we loved. The Kanga is a studio bungalow in their backyard, separate from the main house and completely private. Anna furnishes it with snacks, fruit, coffee beans, soaps, and a few Shiner Bocks to get you started - the kitchen even has a few essentials if you'd like to cook a meal and eat it on your private porch. The inside looks just like the pics - minimal + modern, with great sunlight. It's located five or six blocks east of the East Austin strip, super easy to grab an uber (like a $3 uber!) to any of the East Sixth spots (White Horse, Qui, Stay Gold, Liberty, etc.) Anna and her family are there if you need them, but will give you privacy if you prefer that - in our book, that makes for an excellent host."
4974255,27078586,2015-02-24,27955000,Braidee,"The Kanga was absolutely perfect for my 3 day stay in Austin! The house was adorable, clean and very homey. Access to the house was simple and Anna and her family were very welcoming. I will definitely be using The Kanga for a future stay again. "
4974255,27300949,2015-03-01,4388023,Bill,"What a wonderful little place!  Clean and quiet and located in a funky neighborhood walking distance to Juice Land, which is a big plus, and several other nice eating and drinking establishments.  Chad and Anna were exceptionally responsive, it seemed that anytime I had a question, they answered within 60 seconds.  A five minute ride to downtown.  If you want to be close to  downtown, but away from tourist areas, this is a great choice. "
4974255,27542998,2015-03-07,5369923,Rebecca,"Anna made us feel so welcomed in the cozy little abode. It was the perfect place (close to bars and breweries on sixth street, easy to get to the city's bike system) and Anna stocked everything so well. She gave us privacy yet also kept us up to date on any little issues, like when the weather was supposed to be bad.

We can't say enough good things! The place and the host were perfect."
4974255,27662711,2015-03-09,2464899,Lindsay,"We had a great time staying at the Kanga! Anna was incredibly responsive and thoughtful in advance of our trip and throughout our stay. We arrived late at night and she offered to stock in food for us, left us fruit and snacks and beer, and made sure we had every bit of information we would need to get in and settled at one in the morning. I never had a moment's concern that we would have trouble getting settled, and we definitely didn't. We didn't actually meet Anna in person, but I think if we'd had a problem she would have been there in a minute, which is probably my ideal AirBnB relationship with hosts :)

The Kanga itself is really cute- clean, comfortable, and very homey. It's a breeze to access and feels very private. We loved the neighborhood- great bars and restaurants nearby, very walkable, and easy access to the hike/bike trail around the lake. East Austin is awesome, and we had a fantastic time with no car and few cabs taken.  I would highly recommend the Kanga for your trip to Austin- we'll definitely be back to stay again!"
4974255,27817683,2015-03-12,1971740,David,"Anna was an awesome host, and the Kanga space is incredible. It really is a fantastic little spot to get away from it all on the very cool east side of Austin.

The space itself is super clean, new, and really practical. There's a little kitchenette (didn't use, too close to cafes!) and desk, and room to spread out a bit for a stay. There's also ample street parking, and everything else one could need. 

And, of course, the best part is that Anna was super helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended!"
4974255,27862459,2015-03-13,14654014,Carrie,"The Kanga was absolutely adorable, and Anna was such a gracious host! She started the trip off right for us with a couple of Shiners! Wish we could of stayed longer! "
4974255,28123941,2015-03-18,15336830,Matt,"Anna was absolutely wonderful and very prompt in every communication we had. The house was lovely and very private, nestled in the back yard of their house. There is a private entry on the side of the house so I was able to come and go as pleased without interrupting their family. The house was stocked with fruit, a few juices in the fridge, a couple snack bars and coffee. It is close to a bus line, lots of car2go around, and within walking distance of several restaurants and a lovely fresh juice restaurant. 

I would highly recommend this airbnb. "
4974255,28195193,2015-03-19,25746437,Michael,"Enjoyed my stay, the hosts were great, as was the Kanga!
Very close to downtown, only about 2 miles. Quick cab, or even a nice walk. The Kanga is great, and they even had coffee, snacks, and  a few beers for me upon arrival. I would definitely stay here again. "
4974255,28289297,2015-03-21,28581205,Wayne,This was a great little cabin. Clean and easy to get in and out. Not too far from downtown Austin.
4974255,28392918,2015-03-23,10085291,Tyrone,"What a great unique experience! Everything was so well planned out and setup. The kanga was cozy yet spacious and built so beautifully. Anna and Chad were also great. I never actually met them, but they were super responsive that I didn't really need to. This will def be my first choice if I ever come back to Austin! "
4974255,28534782,2015-03-25,4470399,David,"This is a great place to stay. The surrounding area, East Austin, had a lot of fun things to do. Anna and Chad had really good recommendations, and the Kanga itself is just so cozy. The bed was nice, the shower great. Anna left us a few Shiners to welcome us, and we were just so pleasantly surprised overall. This was such a great place."
4974255,28590292,2015-03-26,29833154,Martha,"A nice way to stay in Austin and easily booked. Anna was quick to answer our request and sent us all the directions we needed to find the house. The Kanga was ready for us when we arrived and stocked with fruit, mueslibars, coffee - and everyting else we could need for a pleasant stay. Inside the small kitchen, bathroom and AC worked perfectly and outside the small patio was cosy as well.

The area was just a short drive from E 6th St, where we found great places to eat and explore. "
4974255,28661550,2015-03-28,1159238,Joanne,"Loved staying at the Kanga. Super convenient, super clean, and super value. It felt like staying in your own brand-new studio apartment. Unlike other studio-type listings, though, the Kanga has a roomy and comfy shower and space for actually ""living"" (doing some work, cooking, etc.). 
 "
4974255,28745361,2015-03-29,25081746,Paula,"This was a great place!! Clean, quiet, close to downtown... Perfect size!! I didn't see the homeowners much-but didn't need to, had everything I needed, great communication!"
4974255,28878054,2015-03-31,27661259,Margaret,The home was beautiful and fully stocked with everything needed for our stay. It was very modern inside and everything felt very new and well kept. We were in a great part of Austin so getting around the whole city was very easy - especially using the b cycle stop that was only a few blocks away. 
4974255,28950016,2015-04-01,8440158,Steve,"Brand new construction, clean, cozy everything I would need to stay for a night or a month. Very easy access and very helpful owners. Will stay again as we are in Austin often. 

Some great East Austin establishments close by."
4974255,29280597,2015-04-06,27866885,Patricia,"Fantastic! Rented a car but really didn't need one since this location is no more than a 20-30 minute walk to attractions, bars, food, etc. Such a beautifully designed and well kept unit. Very impressed by Anna and Chad's kindness, generosity, and efforts to make visitors feel comfortable. Would absolutely recommend this to anybody looking for a place to stay in Austin.   "
4974255,29559052,2015-04-09,18991325,Stephanie,"We met Chad on arrival. He was very pleasant. He showed us into the Kanga and how to use the electronic key. Check in was very easy. The Kanga itself was modern, clean and had all the necessities for our three day stay (or an even longer stay). Although the Kanga is close to the main house its very private. Location was safe, quiet and close to the expressway and local bars and restaurants. I highly recommend!"
4974255,29788061,2015-04-12,9410805,Marilyn,"Everything was perfect. The bed was comfortable. Loved the porch, loved the layout. It never felt small and I am sure the subtle but vital windows help make it feel so open. The shower and shower pressure were great. I very much enjoyed its location in East Austin. Just a quick bike ride to all that you need to do in East Austin and Austin. Snacks, yogurts and beers were a nice touch. Easy check-in and checkout. Bravo to these hosts!"
4974255,30296142,2015-04-20,22854782,Dan,"Our three night stay at the Kanga was everything we expected, and more. Cleanliness is key, and this place was spotless. Definitely hotel quality but a more comfortable stay. The location was pretty good. We drove to most places, but walking was an option to a few spots. We walked to 6th and it was fine. The uber home was just a few dollars. 

There were a lot of nice touches at the Kanga that helped too- from the filtered water to breakfast snacks. Keyless entry was great. We really felt like we had our own private cabin. 

Austin was fantastic and we will be back. Thanks for a perfect getaway! "
4974255,30450576,2015-04-22,9623109,Melanie,"Absolutely LOVED our stay at the Kanga! Our first airbnb experience and it was superb. Anna was prompt with all responses, and accommodating. We arrived early to Austin and Anna was able to turn over the Kanga quickly and get us in by 1pm. 

The Kanga itself was very clean and organized and obviously designed with privacy in mind. The slant on the roof with windows allowed for lots of extra light without feeling exposed as guests.   

LOVED the neighborhood. Quirky and hip and a little rough around the edges. My husband and I spent time walking all around it. Loved the close proximity to lots of great food and drinks, AND downtown. 

Really great experience across the board. We would stay again. "
4974255,31022907,2015-04-30,3195773,Alex,Anna & Chad were great and my wife and I loved staying in the Kanga. Will definitely stay here again next time I am back in Austin!
4974255,31190390,2015-05-03,17020198,Frank,"Anna and Chad were great hosts!! The place is a lot of fun, comfortable and very quiet. I love the east side of Austin and they are right in the heart of it! Definitely would recommend their bungalow to anyone :). "
4974255,31510080,2015-05-06,22289218,Dei,"Host, location and room was WAY more than what was ever expected. Neighborhood is safe and in the most excellent location. Bus was handy on more than one occasion. We didn't have a chance to meet Anna, however, Chad was gracious and accomodating. Every time that we visit Austin in the future, we will stay at the Kanga. Best experience a person could ask for. Home away from home."
4974255,31935823,2015-05-12,12727630,Maddison,"The kanga was the perfect place for our five days in austin! It was located in the heart of the east side and was walking distance to tons of funky eclectic places and great food!The kanga was clean, private, completely stocked with cooking utensils, comfortable, and everything we had hoped for and more. We definitely we will be staying there again and recommend it to anyone going to austin! "
4974255,32174890,2015-05-15,25688405,Griffin,"Nice, modern clean place to crash near Austin. Anna and Chad were great - very responsive to all questions."
4974255,32634661,2015-05-19,24681038,Jen,"My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time staying in the The Kanga. Anna was very prompt to respond to any questions I had before we arrived, and we were so well accommodated that we didn't need to reach out at all once we were there! Everything was very comfy, clean and true to expectations. Will definitely stay here again if we visit Austin again!"
4974255,32727130,2015-05-20,22861222,Sarah,"The Kanga was the perfect place to stay in Austin.  Very clean and comfortable space, great kitchen and bath.  The location was convenient to downtown and convention center - quick bus ride away. The hosts were helpful in providing some tips for getting around in the area.  The snacks left on the counter were a nice added surprise.  I would definitely stay here again!"
4974255,32895347,2015-05-23,5353930,Meredith,"The Kanga at Anna & Chad's was a cozy and fun place to stay. It was tucked away in the back of their main house, private, quiet, and very comfortable. The neighborhood is really safe. I went running every morning to take advantage of site seeing. There are a feel coffee shops and restaurants that are in walking distance and are very tasty. Everything downtown is a long walk or very short uber ride away. They were very kind guests and kept to themselves. We would be happy to recommend this place to anyone visiting Austin.
The Kanga seems to be constructed for the taller folks (which not being 5') so the kitchen and bathroom sink is very high. Other than that, we have only great things to stay about The Kanga and our accommodating hosts! Thanks A&C! :)"
4974255,34361333,2015-06-07,34523625,Dan,"My girlfriend and I could not have been happier with our stay at the Kanga. The house was clean, comfortable (roomier than expected), and perfectly suited for us. We were super excited about staying in the tiny house when we booked and everything surpassed our expectations. The hosts quickly responded to every question we had, made sure we were doing fine, stocked the house with great items, and respected our privacy 100%. The neighborhood location may look a little rough at first glance, but we never felt unsafe at all and there is plenty nearby. Its proximity to downtown was great too. I would definitely recommend staying at the Kanga and hope to return one day."
4974255,34811302,2015-06-12,19139219,Erin,Anna and Chad have created a welcoming space.  My husband and I were immediately comfortable upon entering The Kanga.  This was an easy stay and the setup was great. We had everything we needed and with plenty of space.  I definitely recommend staying here in Austin.  Wonderful experience.
4974255,35095763,2015-06-15,32131354,Jamie,"Everything was exactly as described by Anna and communication with her was a breeze. We came to Austin for our 4th Anniversary Trip and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kanga.  We liked that the location was close to everything that we wanted to do downtown and at Barton Springs, the neighborhood was quiet, and parking was easy.  There were multiple restaurants with-in walking distance.  Anna was a very thoughtful host, she remembered that we were trying to eat and live healthier so she had some nice snacks and fruit waiting for us as well as natural body wash/shampoo and conditioner in the shower and hand soap in the kitchen.  There was a filtered water pitcher in the fridge.  Anna even had bug spray and sunscreen available.  And the tempurpedic bed was AMAZING! Soft sheets, best feather pillows.  Better than some upscale hotels that we have stayed in.  It was a great place to stay while on the go or when you want to relax and chill.  It felt like a cozy home away from home!  Thanks Anna!"
4974255,35317595,2015-06-17,33661954,Matt,"Anna and Chad were great hosts.  They gave us plenty of privacy,and were easy to check in with.  The Kanga is just as described and was easy to access and within walking distance of a bikeshare, which got us downtown.  The neighborhood is quiet, wasn't sketchy, and parking outside was no problem."
4974255,35815007,2015-06-22,33523179,Elizabeth,"The listing was just as described, and the neighborhood was lovely. Lots of great places to eat and get coffee within walking distance, and it was very easy to get anywhere else in the city within 10 minutes or so. The Kanga itself was very nice, private, and homey, and stocked with everything you might need. Chad and Anna were great hosts and everything was just as expected! I highly recommend the location and accommodations."
4974255,36003113,2015-06-24,28918823,James,We felt welcome right off the bat.  Good communication as we were getting close was great and made us know we were where we should be - or would be soon!
4974255,36531887,2015-06-29,2946673,Arwen,"Anna and Chad were very easy to coordinate with, and very helpful. The Kanga Tiny House is exactly as it appears, tiny, well appointed, and cute. They provided house essentials, from coffee, tea and snacks, to mosquito spray and more. For us, the location was incredibly convenient- we brought bicycles and were able to mostly commute by bike. I highly recommend this Tiny House, and Anna and Chad as hosts!
"
4974255,37332607,2015-07-06,8944515,Courtney,"Loved our stay at Kanga.  The place is perfectly described, in great condition, and in a convenient location.  Chad was super nice and very welcoming. "
4974255,37770595,2015-07-10,21067013,Sarah,"My dad and I stayed here for three days while visiting Austin. It was lovely and just the right size for the two of us. I requested an air mattress and it was right there waiting for me when we first got in, along with fresh sheets, blankets, snacks, teas, and even a couple of local beers to sample! We took the bus into downtown once, which wasn't bad at all, but it was just as entertaining to walk around east Austin from the home. If you do choose to walk to a restaurant from the home, you must try Buffalina- the best pizza I've had in a very long time. All in all, I had a great experience and would go back again! "
4974255,38105621,2015-07-13,30306680,Ashley,"The Kanga was in great condition, as described! Chad and Anna provide all the comforts you can ask for, snacks, beverages, coffee and extra towels! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is less than 2 miles from downtown Austin in a great area with plenty of parking! We got to meet and talk to Chad and he was a delight! We will definitely be back, next trip to Austin!"
4974255,39483329,2015-07-24,18010474,Helen,"My husband and I loved staying at the Kanga! We spent a week in Austin, and the Kanga was a great little home base for us while we were there. We found it neat, clean, and fully stocked with a ton of yummy snacks. Anna was out of town, and we only saw Chad a couple times, but he was very kind and hospitable when we did see him. Would definitely recommend this place to stay, it's in a great location to access downtown too! "
4974255,39759094,2015-07-26,6065606,Tammy,"Anna and Chad were very responsive, friendly and helpful, providing lots of information about the area, bike trails, restaurants, music venues. The neighborhood provided a perfect Austin experience."
4974255,40024966,2015-07-27,38788658,Ashley,"They had snacks waiting for us and other small touches that made it feel welcoming. Wonderful neighborhood. The space was clean, modern, and was above and beyond our expectations. We could not have been more impressed. "
4974255,40227902,2015-07-29,8584501,Micah,The place was exactly as described and just as shown in the pictures. The location was an eclectic area and centrally located to everything. We used car2go and there was always one close by. We met Chad when we arrived and showed us to the unit and made sure if we needed anything we could ask. When we checked out he let us leave our bags behind since we had a much later flight than check out. We were able to explore Austin then come back for our bags later and head to the airport. Overall a great experience! 
4974255,40410645,2015-07-30,36808385,Jannae,"Great location and house.  Close to 6th Street and Downtown.  Hosts were friendly, very helpful, and had little treats for us when we arrived.  Very clean, welcoming, efficient house.  Hope to stay again next trip to Austin!"
4974255,40659958,2015-08-01,28471680,Eugene,The listing was accurate
4974255,41001854,2015-08-03,16719845,Alyssa,"Anna and Chad were such nice hosts! The Kanga is a guesthouse in their backyard, and it felt like a hotel room. I could really tell they went the extra mile to make sure guests have everything they need from snacks to towels and toiletries. The place was clean (even by my standards!), and I loved that a juice bar and paddle board/kayaking dock were just a few minutes away. This was the best Air BnB experience I have had! Thanks! "
4974255,41159575,2015-08-04,11495251,(email hidden),Tiny House was great.  Exactly as advertised.  Feels bigger on the inside than it looks (The Harry Potter effect).  Would stay here again.  
4974255,41474239,2015-08-07,37342813,Jackie,Absolutely loved the tiny house! The hosts were a great help in making suggestions for things for me to do not being from the area. Tons of amenities to make my stay more enjoyable also. Perfect space for one or two people visiting the area and extremely close to anything you'd like to do! 
4974255,41480748,2015-08-07,39658478,Stephen,"Anna and Chad were very responsive to the booking/accommodation process as well as making me feel at home. The Tiny house was very spacious, clean, great air conditioning, and quiet. An added bonus is the 1gig of wireless capability! Also, the Lady Bird Trailhead is less than a half-mile away if you want to bike/run/walk.  This was my first AirBnB experience and definitely will come back to stay. Thx Anna and Chad!

Stephen"
4974255,41936812,2015-08-10,23026235,Patrick,"My stay with Anna and Chad at the Kanga was excellent! Five stars all the way. They were terrific communicators and made it very easy to organize and set up my stay. The Kanga was a cute little studio, and had a ton of amenities that made it very comfortable. I really appreciated the privacy and flexibility of the place. When I had a small problem, Anna and Chad were very responsive and helped solve it quickly. I would highly recommend them to all of my friends, and would look forward to staying with them during my next visit to Austin."
4974255,42366304,2015-08-12,27861400,Dani,Anna was an amazing hostess ! I am so thankful that this was where we got to spend our first night away from our kids. It was comfortable and close to everything. It was the perfect size for us and we felt super welcome. I will definitely go back and even bring the kids :) seriously phenomenal. 
4974255,42549181,2015-08-14,3258058,Renee,"We loved our stay at the Kanga! It was the perfect place to stay for our quick stay in Austin. Sara was quick to answer any questions we had. They have a great sense of hospitality, from just being friendly in passing to stocking the Kanga with what we needed. "
4974255,42745120,2015-08-15,39702541,Kelsey,"Excellent accommodations. Anna and Chad really went above and beyond to make sure the Kanga was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked with snacks and breakfast items (I'm talking beers in the fridge, kind bars, and good french press coffee!). Neighborhood seemed very safe to us. We explored South Congress street which was a quick uber ride away, though free parking there was plentiful on a Friday afternoon. If looking for a run, the Kanga is just a few blocks from a trail that follows the river, which was really nice."
4974255,43063031,2015-08-17,4954271,Kelly,Anna was an excellent host! We really enjoyed our stay in the Kanga! We brought along our toddler. She had a pack & play set up for him when we arrived. Everything was super clean & cozy. The location was great. We would definitely love to stay again next time we are in Austin! 
4974255,43624949,2015-08-21,15882219,Jonas,"We had three perfect days at Anna and Chads tiny house. The 'Kanga' is small but has all the features you need, including powerful a/c and wifi. It is located in the backyard of Anna and Chad's home in an up and coming neighborhood in East Austin. If it's not too hot, it's walking distance to some hip East Austin cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as 10min by car to downtown. Chad and Anna are wonderful and helpful hosts. All in all we had a very nice trip and would definitely consider the Kanga again if we find ourselves in Austin again.  "
4974255,43821648,2015-08-22,39119703,Anita,"Very nice place, great place to stay.. There is not anything bad to say about staying at Chad and Annas place.. "
4974255,44162625,2015-08-24,39286760,Emma,Anna and Chad were great hosts! They were super friendly when we ran into them and otherwise just let us live in the Kanga independently. They also kept our bags for us after our checkout time so we didn't have to carry them around all day before our later flights. The Kanga was absolutely perfect for my weekend getaway in Austin. It's just like the pictures and the perfect size for two people. The neighborhood surrounding was fun to explore with unique shops and restaurants and plenty of food trucks to try. Also a bike share rack is at the end of the block. Super convenient for getting downtown and exploring Austin more. We also used Uber and Lyft. I highly recommend the Kanga for a stay in Austin! 
4974255,45005140,2015-08-30,25098648,Stephanie,"Our stay in the Kanga was absolutely wonderful. Anna and Chad went above and beyond to make us feel at home and made our experience in Austin all the more lovely. The Kanga is close to so many neat Austin gems, especially our favorite, Rainey Street. Couldn't recommend staying here enough! "
4974255,45554914,2015-09-04,15101438,Leah,"Anna and Chad were absolutely delightful hosts and the Kanga was a complete pleasure to stay in! The space was exactly as advertised: clean, comfortably temperature controlled, with a lot of small but very appreciated touches such as having milk/beer/yogurt/etc. in the fridge and an array of products in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and luxurious. Getting into the space was a breeze and access to the back house felt very unobtrusive to the primary home. I met Anna, Chad, and their two friendly dogs, a few times in the back yard and they were exceedingly nice and helpful with providing tips and information about the area. When I had a special request for linens (didn't want to ruin their nice white pillow cases with a new dye-job) they were unfazed and quick to respond. The location in East Austin was perfect for me--close enough to the action but just out of dodge enough to not be too crazy. Being close to a fantastic running route was an extra special bonus! I'd recommend the Kanga whole heartedly to any and all. "
4974255,45730889,2015-09-05,16836595,Sean,"The Kanga is pretty awesome, great neighborhood and cool layout.  I would stay again for sure!"
4974255,46036345,2015-09-07,42337930,Tim,"Our stay was amazing, the place had everything we needed and the neighborhood was perfectly located for fun bars, restaurants and only a short uber to everything else. The place was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and even a few snacks for us! We'll be back in Austin soon and will definitely stay here again!! "
4974255,46294470,2015-09-09,31765785,Emily,"Chad, Anna, and The Kanga was just awesome. We couldn't have asked for a smoother arrival and stay. They had taken such care to make the space perfectly clean and stocked- and even included some complimentary snacks and beverages, toiletries, and supplies in case we needed them. It was so comfortable and quiet and located close to downtown. I would have a hard time wanting to check out any other airbnb places when we return to Austin, because this was perfect!"
4974255,47028915,2015-09-15,30772832,Tessa,"I honestly feel like the Kanga is better than a hotel. It is more private and the amenities are much nicer, and they recycle. It is located near a juice bar, vegan breakfast place, and coffee house, plus late night food and drink spots, too, and close to bikes, public transit, or a highway if you rented a car. But when you get back to the Kanga after a long day of exploring the city it is cool and quiet."
4974255,47426234,2015-09-18,43949680,Rachelle,"My stay here was great! Anna and Chad had everything set up perfectly when I arrived, including supplies for coffee and various snacks. The location was very convenient to the other areas of Austin I needed to go to and I had complete privacy. I would definitely recommend staying here! "
4974255,47960544,2015-09-22,4731968,Allison,"My boyfriend and I spent four nights in the Kanga house and had an amazing time exploring the city. Chad and Anna were fantastic and so on top of everything (even with the arrival of a little one RIGHT before we checked in!). The house was well-stocked with everything you'd need - from a first aid kit, to hair dryer/iron and even snacks and coffee. Be prepared to walk a little or make use of public transportation to get to other parts of town, but there's a lot happening in East Austin. We would most definitely stay again on a return trip!"
4974255,48144523,2015-09-23,405154,Rae,"I had a wonderful time at Anna and Chad's listing! It's in a fun up and coming neighborhood with many restaurants and places to meet up with friends. The actual structure is a Kanga and if you are not familiar with it, I recommend checking it out.

The listing was private, clean and perfect for my needs. I highly recommend the listing!"
4974255,48240481,2015-09-24,39781359,Nicole,"This tiny house is absolutely adorable and had everything we needed! Location is great, our Lyft rides were cheap, and even our trip to the airport was only about $15. The bed was super comfortable. There was cold drinking water and some snacks, which were very appreciated. 

Only con would be if you have a heavy rolling suitcase, you would have to carry it through the slate gravel, probably about 20 ft or so, not too far. "
4974255,48356607,2015-09-25,28304327,Elena,"We loved our stay at the tiny house! $5 uber ride to downtown, safe neighborhood with walkable restaurants and shops. The house was even stocked with plenty of snacks and supplies!"
4974255,48702696,2015-09-28,3248670,Jackie,"We loved staying here and would recommend and stay here in the future! The area is really cool and a taste of Austin being on the East side. The Kanga is well stocked with everything you need including local beer, snacks, and even sunscreen. We met Chad and Anna once, super nice and willing to provide tons of suggestions. They even lent us a collapsible chair for the line at Franklin BBQ. The bed was super comfy, everything was spotless, and perfect amount of space for us and always tons of hot water for a shower. You can't go wrong here and the neighborhood is so cool!"
4974255,48955063,2015-09-29,44679135,Rich,Had a great overnight on the way back home to NOLA. Ana has done a lovely job with the Kanga and the location is walkable to many cool bars and restaurants.  Chad was great helping me overcome some technical challenges during our reservation. And my dog really enjoyed the deck and backyard!
4974255,49189515,2015-10-01,5259734,Clint,"The Kanga made our Austin experience complete! What a cool place to stay! The house is perfect and its owners are very friendly and helpful. Based on their suggestions, we had a wonderful day  exploring the river path and some great local food on Rainey street. We would definitely come back."
4974255,49373007,2015-10-03,39024479,Lee,"Excellent stay at Tiny House: The Kanga!  The space is well maintained, very clean and stocked with all your needs.  
The neighborhood was awesome and Chad was super informative about area recreation and good eats (sorry, Chad.  I didn't get to any of your suggestions for food).  There is plenty to eat, drink and do within walking distance and even more a short car ride or bike away.
The Kanga kitchen was stocked with coffee, tea, fruit, granola bars, yogurt, milk, oatmeal and even a few Shiners!
There is plenty more to say but it's better to experience it first hand.  Cheers Anna and Chad!  Can't wait to come back again.
"
4974255,49759090,2015-10-06,30245263,Jennifer,"Our experience at Anna & Chad's was awesome.  We were in and out due to Acl weekend, so we didn't get much time to chat. The place was so adorable and stocked up with yummy nit nacks & good coffee. Bus transportation literally 100 steps away, our weekend couldn't have gone any smoother. dont forget to ask Chad for restaurant recommendations. The aks a bunch Anna & Chad"
4974255,49963062,2015-10-07,831983,K,"
The Kanga was perfect,   I am seriously looking into getting one!  I can't say enough about it, everything was great and as advertised, definitely gets my high recommendation. "
4974255,50085165,2015-10-09,42429109,Robert,"Our stay in the Kanga was great. It offered us the privacy we needed and included organic amenities. Anna and Chad even included a cold Shiner Bock for us. The Kanga was located just off Cesar Chavez. It was a 5-7 minute uber ride into downtown. It was also walking distance to many other bars and restaurants including La Barbecue, which we visited.  I would definitely recommend the Kanga and would stay again. "
4974255,50208753,2015-10-10,17684093,Jeremiah,"We had a great experience staying in the Kanga! It had all the amenities a hotel would have plus a lot more. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and we felt we were in a quiet, safe neighborhood. I would suggest this location to anyone staying in the Austin area! "
4974255,50803310,2015-10-14,45853620,Kathryn,"Absolutely adored Kanga House!  The space was the perfect size for our weekend get away.  Anna was super friendly and the rental had tons of things that were useful even if we didn't need all of them:  yogurt, milk, alternative milk, cereal, snacks, beer, sunscreen, bug repellent, you name it.  It is a transitioning neighborhood near some great bars, coffee and tacos!  It is super convenient to all of the Austin sites! 

Things to know before your stay: The slate walk ways is hard to navigate in flimsy sandals or with big rolling suitcases so be aware of that and have practical shoes and luggage you can carry.   The neighbor has a dog that barked a lot in the middle of the night one evening.  Also one evening the motion sensor light seemed to come on more than we expected in the middle of the night.  Luckily the tiny house has great blackout curtains!"
4974255,51029690,2015-10-17,23568764,Karen,"Prior to our check in, we were notified that the Kanga was ready and we could come early if we wanted to.  When we arrived, it was neat & clean (and so cute), complete with various snacks & supplies. There were plenty of towels and more stuff than we can list.  Anna and Chad have done a great job of supplying the house with amenities that guests may appreciate.  Both of them were friendly and helpful in telling us about the area & places to check out. We were comfortable and felt safe in this location.  The patio provided an enjoyable spot for morning coffee & conversation. We appreciated the genuine hospitality and hope to return at some point in the future.  This was the best Airbnb experience we have had. (Thanks for the ice!)"
4974255,51638888,2015-10-22,13794946,Tyler,"This was one of the best Air B&B experiences i have had yet.  When i arrived, the Kanga was stocked with snacks, coffee and tea, milk and creamer and oatmeal and even a few local beers.  It was great!
The bed was extremely comfortable.  The location was great!  I highly recommend this place.

Thanks Anna and Chad!"
4974255,51848237,2015-10-24,27538854,S,Wonderful experience! Adorable home! 
4974255,51962242,2015-10-25,33762974,Katie,"Anna and Chad were wonderful hosts. They provided thorough information before I arrived so that I was familiar with the space where I stayed and as well as the surrounding area. The location was great! The Kanga was convenient to Austin's East Side and Downtown with lots of options for fun and going out. The space was cool - modern, but still felt really cozy. Anna and Chad had stocked the tiny kitchen with the snacks and coffee. I'm looking forward for a chance to stay there again!

"
4974255,52417907,2015-10-29,45204738,Janis,"Lovely house in a great location. Everything is as represented. Spacious tiny house with all you need. Stocked with fresh fruit, yogurt, milk and beer! Anna was very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay there again. Great place, nice and convenient location. "
4974255,52704486,2015-11-01,12370675,Maria,"I had such a great experience with Anna and Chad. They were gracious and accountable hosts! The Kanga description is accurate and it is quite a cozy setup -- wifi gets a bit ""grumpy"" but I think that was because it was stormy when I was there.  Their place is about 10 minutes away from the airport, parking was always available and even if I needed to take a cab downtown, it was under $10. 

It was nice to know that even though it was my first time in Austin, I wasn't alone! It worked really well for this business trip and now I can't wait to come back for an actual getaway with my husband."
4974255,53106795,2015-11-05,19857197,Belinda,"Beautiful place, great location, super-friendly and accessible hosts. Highly recommended! "
676107,8204711,2013-10-20,1385856,Martha,"Leia and Keri were great hosts. They have a beautiful home. We had a nice visit. They were helpful with directions and restaurant recommendations, too!!  "
676107,10548507,2014-02-24,12089846,Alexys,"Awesome stay. I have a pretty picky girlfriend that had nothing negative to say! We were both worried being allergic to animals, but Leia and Keri were excellent. Their home is an extremely clean and comfortable place that's hosted by helpful and friendly people. If you're allergic to animals I wouldn't let it stop you from staying in this great home! It's located in quiet, gorgeous neighborhood that's about a $26 cab ride from downtown. We didn't get to meet Keri, but Leia was friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a great time! "
676107,10735628,2014-03-04,11180411,Marga,"Definitely a private upstairs oasis!  Super clean, spacious, modern and comfortable.  Leia & Keri were very kind and helpful.  I recommend them a 200%. "
676107,10890629,2014-03-11,12572917,Lauren,Leia & Keri's place was great. Clean and comfortable very laid back and convenient to down town and South Congress shops and restaurants. Both were helpful with recommendations in and around town. Being that both work for the parks department they have many great recommendations for people visiting the area. Would not hesitate to book again if needing to stay in the area. 
676107,11008708,2014-03-17,9750163,Rebecca,"Absolutely straight A+'s across the board. It's hard to find people like Leia and Keri, very caring and chill people who know a lot about Austin and were more than willing to help with directions or recommendations. 
As for the space, it was better than most hotels. Fresh towels, big bathroom, closet, lots of room and privacy. The location was also good. We drove during the busiest time of Austin and made it downtown everyday in about 20 minutes driving. 

Extra perks: adorable dogs, your own key code (so you may enter and leave as you please), Texas decor and they let us use their kitchen. 

We were very pleased and would recommend this to anyone! "
676107,11776496,2014-04-14,13043120,Joshua,"A comfortable, convenient night.  We stayed only one night, using the upstairs space -- queen bed in bedroom and air mattress in TV/weight room that is open to the stairway to the main living room/kitchen.  All was as advertised and I would recommend it."
676107,12015860,2014-04-21,3702651,Grace,"Leia and Keri were very pleasant.  The house was very nice, and the upstairs space was clean and private.  Overall great experience! "
676107,12263830,2014-04-27,14641537,April,"Leia and Keri were perfect hosts for us during our visit in Austin.  They were very accommodating and willing to work out details of our stay with us.  Their place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. It was definitely a nice and peaceful  ""oasis"" to come home to after a day's adventure in the city. "
676107,12589820,2014-05-05,1290056,Fynn,"Leia & Keri were fantastic hosts. Very friendly & helpful. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone. 

They also have an amazing trail ecosystem not far from their house, which allows hikers, trail runners, etc to get out on trails in the early morning. "
676107,12639247,2014-05-06,9621136,Glory,"Staying with Keri and Leia and Brenda was a homey experience for us!  The girls are welcoming and easy going, and we are cat and dog people so we loved their sweet pups and affectionate kitty.  The accommodations are very comfortable, spacious and private and Keri and Leia are very respectful of their guests privacy.  During our week long stay, a couple other guests came and went in the downstairs bedroom and I was impressed with how well Leia was keeping up on making sure everything was clean and ready.  We also enjoyed meeting new people.  These girls run a regular boarding house!  We loved their house and neighborhood which is very close to a great park for running and exploring.  It honestly felt like a home away from home rather than a rented room.  And we would stay again without qualms.  Thanks again Keri and Leia for putting up with us for so long!!"
676107,13112399,2014-05-19,4966648,Andrew,"We had a great stay with Leia, Keri and Keri's lovely sister; we only wish we had had more time to spend getting to know each of them better. The house is just as described, if not better. The private upstairs is truly an oasis, and everything was immaculately clean. Getting to and from the house from/to Austin and its environs was a breeze. If our travels ever take us back to Austin, we will definitely hope to be return guests!"
676107,13444662,2014-05-27,6643311,Ming,"We had a great stay in Leia and Keri's place. Everything was comfortable, they are very easy-going people and we were feeling like at home. 

The room is clean, spacious upstairs, we like the yard and their Texas style decoration a lot!

Highly recommended.

676107,13497818,2014-05-28,1633368,Chris,"Patricia and I had a wonderful stay at the Oasis. The space is large, more like a suite than a regular room. Everything was spotless and Leia was there to answer questions. The bathroom is very modern and clean. We'll come back again for sure."
676107,13722417,2014-06-02,3792797,Adrienne,"Great place, would stay there again!"
676107,13862594,2014-06-06,1155451,Lee,Thoughtful and attentive hosts. A very clean and quiet space to ourselves for our overnight stay. Although we have sensitivity to dogs and cats we had no symptoms here. 
676107,13994913,2014-06-09,5101321,Stacey,I enjoyed my stay. I wasn't there much due to attending a conference. Loved the pool! Beautiful home.
676107,14534568,2014-06-21,16541692,Michael,We had a great stay here in Austin. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. We also really enjoyed the pool and the local community. We had an awesome time and I would stay again.
676107,15020919,2014-06-30,9093476,Amanda,Leia & Keri were great hosts and immediately made us feel completely welcome. They have a beautiful & clean home with an amazing pool. I would highly recommend them. I can't wait to plan our next stay with them. 
676107,15380859,2014-07-07,17553516,Leslie,"I went for July 4th weekend and really only slept/showered at the house. Nevertheless, the home is beautiful, very clean, and ""homey."" I believe Leia and Keri were out of town, so the pool was locked. This wasn't a problem for me, but make sure they are in town in case you plan on swimming during your stay. Also, Leia and Keri are EXCELLENT communicators, and your question will be answered ""within 24 hrs"" but really within the next hour or so. This was great since I tend to think of things last minute.

I would recommend this house to anyone visiting Austin. Great neighborhood and only minutes from downtown (which is also why I came into town). I would definitely stay at this house again! :)"
676107,15846648,2014-07-16,16759328,Suzanne,"I've rented whole house vacation rentals for over 25 years.  This was my first airbnb (staying while owners are present) experience.  Just needed a place to sleep affordably one night while getting my daughter enrolled in college.  OMG!  This was the most delightful experience.  Leia's (Keri was out of town) home was outstanding and a desperately needed retreat as we were exhausted with the process of packing, moving and all required to get a child into college.  The very first thing we did after unloading suitcases was to jump in their pristine saltwater pool.  We relax for 3 uninterrupted hours of needed mother and daughter bonding before she moves away.  Then retreated to our room where we had the whole upstairs area with a wonderful reclining sofa and big screen TV living room   right outside the bedroom all to ourselves.  I can't imagine all airbnb's being this amazing.  One can only hope.

Leia finally arrived home from work and was relaxing downstairs when we met her.  What a gracious, humble, unassuming host.  Very sweet lady who directed us to the most wonderful restaurant we have ever experienced in Austin.

Their home is peacefully and tastefully decorated (no clutter) with the most relax dog and cat I've ever been around - no barking or fishing for your attention.

The title states:  Private Upstairs Oasis!  This is absolutely true and would highly recommend staying with Leia and Keri."
676107,16146879,2014-07-22,17757967,Joseph,"The neighborhood was fantastic. The house had a quick outlet to 1st street and was close to I35 for a smooth ride to downtown or anywhere else you want to go. The hosts were very friendly and allowed us to have our privacy. The pool was amazing, and the upstairs was quite roomy. I definitely recommend staying here. "
676107,16235512,2014-07-23,612184,Amber,"This was my second time to stay at this house first time stayed in the room down stairs which was great and this time stayed up stairs.  It was a great experience, very clean, modern, and relaxing.  It was a very pleasurable time and if your coming to Austin Id for sure stay upstairs!  "
676107,16924132,2014-08-04,6303810,Marcia,"We had a great stay at Leia & Keri's!  The house was perfectly clean and comfortable, the salt water pool was heavenly, the company was fun and interesting. The neighborhood is convenient - shops and restaurants and parks in close proximity (with a car - you could walk to them, but the Texas heat is a bit too much for us!). Would definitely stay again."
676107,17863265,2014-08-18,14247890,Samantha,My husband and I stayed in the upstairs listing for a wedding we were attending in Austin! Everything was exactly as it is in the listing. The house and neighborhood were beautiful and we were in comfortable driving distance to everything we wanted to do! Both the room and bathroom were very clean and we enjoyed having our own little living area with the couch and big-screen TV! Leia and Keri were both very kind and we loved getting to meet their cat and dog! I would highly recommend staying here to anyone.
676107,18751282,2014-08-31,20065832,Iris,Great place to stay! Both Leia and Keri were very helpful and awesome hosts. I didn't encounter any problems and would definitely choose this place again.  
676107,18866203,2014-09-01,20703650,Adam,My partner and I had a great first airbnb experience with Leia & Keri. They were very welcoming and personable. The neighborhood is nice and it is a great location.
676107,19626909,2014-09-15,4602895,Lana,"Unfortunately it rained most of our trip in Austin and we did not get to utilize their pool, but L&K's home is truly a great oasis away from home. Their home is a beautiful and open space, and their private upstairs area was perfect for us. Their home is a ~15 minute drive from downtown Austin, but not a burden at all given the wondrous space they provided. L&K we're both very helpful throughout our stay - providing tips for all the great bars and food spots downtown. They were very nice and let us utilize their kitchen. We would definitely stay there again."
676107,19964895,2014-09-21,14574679,Jacques,"Accueil très sympathique de la part de Leia et Keri dont la maison correspond parfaitement à la description. Située dans un joli quartier très paisible, spacieuse et très propre, vous y trouverez tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour rendre votre séjour agréable. C'est sans hésitation que j'y retournerai lors d'un futur voyage à Austin."
676107,20352292,2014-09-28,20368354,Monic,Wonderful place to stay! Our first experience with airbnb and it was fantastic. The room is just as described and has a very comfortable bed. Leia & Keri were very patient in answering all our questions before we came and made sure we knew everything we needed to know upon arrival. We were free to come and go as we pleased and attend all the activities we had planned. We would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in Austin and plan to stay again next time we are in town (:
676107,20822359,2014-10-06,19478310,Marcy,"We went to austin for ACL and stayed at Leia and Keri's nice home. We were gone most of the day but when we came back it was a clean, quiet environment that we could relax in and the nearby shopping center was not that far from their home so that was a plus. They were easy to get a hold of when we needed anything. Thanks for sharing your home! "
676107,21202551,2014-10-13,18815218,Tony,Place was awesome! Very clean and in a very nice neighborhood ..you can come and go as you please..Leia our host was really cool...would recommend this place to anyone.. First time using this site and it was a really good first experience.
676107,21602885,2014-10-20,9621136,Glory,"Keri & Leia make staying with them very easy.  A home away from home.  They're very accommodating and helpful about guest requests, needs etc.  They're just cool people to be around!  We've stayed with them twice now and found the experience comfortable and enjoyable.  Honestly, I feel like I'm staying with friends while I'm there. Their home is clean and spacious and the upstairs oasis is private and roomy.  I would not hesitate to recommend them.  "
676107,22018595,2014-10-28,9960491,Peter,"Leia and Keri's house was spacious, spotless, well-equipped, and comfortable.  We had our own upstairs 'apartment' with a bedroom, full bathroom, and living area with TV.  

Our hosts were laid back and welcoming.  They gave us a great restaurant suggestion (Magolia's) and answered all our questions.  We were able to use their pool several times which was refreshing on those warm Austin days.

This was a great airbnb experience for us!"
676107,22353550,2014-11-04,1131924,Lindsay,"Leia and Keri are spectacular hosts, super helpful with recommendations (thanks for sending us to Torchy's!), and their home is awesome. We had a great time and couldn't have picked a better place to stay. "
676107,22621716,2014-11-10,22865449,Nick,Leia and Keri were great. House was clean. Room was comfy and private. Parking was plenty. Cat was friendly. Would recommend to stay… would definitely stay again. Thanks
676107,22971813,2014-11-18,23683417,Kristin,Keri greeted us and immediately made us feel welcome.  We were there for 5 days and never felt like we were intruding. We stayed in the larger room. It was perfect!!!! We enjoyed our visit with Keri and Leia. We are looking forward to booking our next stay at their home! 
676107,24680982,2015-01-01,24539318,Antje,"Very cozy location, really nice hosts, cool cat and dog"
676107,25252784,2015-01-10,25371600,Hayley,"First of all my boyfriend and I eneded up picking Leia & Keri's place to stay because they were very quick to answer our questions and concerns. This was our first Air BNB experience and they were very helpful with answering questions and also making us feel comfortable. 
We stayed in town for a weekend cycling event and we were out of the house most of the time. We got in late at night and the door code made it easy to come and go when you pleased. The house was very clean and the upstairs private area was comfortable. Only thing is TV is located in the open upstairs area. I didn't want to turn the tv on because I didn't want it to be disruptive. I would of preferred the TV in the bedroom. The layout of the house made coming and going easy and non disruptive and the host allowed us to have as much privacy as we liked. It was over all a good experience."
676107,25296247,2015-01-11,19997790,Wayne,This was a very quiet neighborhood which was well kept and friendly.  I felt right at home.  Leia & Keri keep a house clean enough to eat off of the floor.  This was my second stay at the home and it was just as great as the first.  I was in town for a funeral and didn't have time to review and check the rules and the hosts did not rush me to make the 10 am check out time.  They not only accommodated my late check out but also offered to extend check out if possible by asking up front.  I have never stayed anywhere else with AirBNB and when in Austin I will always stay here.  This experience cemented the idea that this home is my home away from home.  The upstairs room was spacious and the bathroom immaculate.  There are cinema style recliners in the living area and the bedroom is a separate room.  I slept like a baby and awoke to a great smelling breakfast (not included) that reminded me of waking at my mother's house.  Also though I did not have an additional guest this time when I asked this time and the last Leia & Keri obliged without hesitation.  This is the place to stay in Austin.  I will make my reservation for my next trip as soon as I book my flight.  Thank you ladies for your attention to detail and a relaxing stay.  There cannot be a better value in Austin.  I will tell all my friends to check this listing before they stay anywhere else in Austin.
676107,25534746,2015-01-18,15267835,Desirae,"Leia and Keri were incredibly accommodating regarding our late arrival which we were super grateful for. The space itself is sooOoOoO nice and the bed was probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in in my entire life. Everything is nicely decorated, clean, comfy and spacious. I bumped into their kitty cat in the morning while preparing to leave and she is such a friendly little cuddle bug! Would definitely recommend staying here!!! The drive to downtown Austin is only about 15 min :) "
676107,26514760,2015-02-14,27698687,Randy,Great space! Will def visit again! Highly recommended!
676107,26843102,2015-02-20,27595937,Maureen,"My first AirBnB experience, and it exceeded my expectations. Listing is exactly as described. Clean, quiet home. Nice bathroom, fluffy towels, great water pressure. Bed was comfortable (but a little low to the ground, just mentioning for folks who may have trouble with low beds). Household pets are small, surprisingly quiet, and cute as buttons. They were not permitted upstairs thanks to a babygate. The neighborhood is a planned subdivision and *very* quiet. I went for a jog in the nearby park (nice paved loop trail) and saw six deer. I was in town to visit a very ill friend and it was an emotionally draining visit. Leia & Keri were cordial, readily available to answer any questions, but gave me the privacy I needed. If you're looking for a quiet home base while visiting Austin, I would highly recommend staying with them."
676107,27929148,2015-03-15,16153859,Angela Foshee,"Very nice, clean and comfortable accommodations.  Great location!  Thanks for the hospitality!  Hope to stay again when we visit Austin.  "
676107,28079756,2015-03-17,7658707,Janille,"I was in town for SXSW and decided to bring along my younger sister as she was looking into transferring to UT. It was her first AirBnB experience and I'm grateful it was such a positive one for her. 

The upstairs suite wasn't available for all the days we were in Austin as this listing is in high demand. Something we expected before booking so we stayed in the downstairs room for the former half of our stay. It was incredibly helpful that they were able to still accommodate us. We then moved upstairs when it became vacant which was a seamless transition. I loved both rooms and was very happy with our stay. 

The keyless entry was a nice touch, safe neighborhood, and spacious home.

Feel free to check out my other review of the downstairs room with more insight.

Leia and Keri have my highest recommendation."
676107,28175469,2015-03-19,28290800,Ryan,"We arrived in Austin late (11:30pm) and went straight upstairs to a beautiful living room with plenty of comfy seating, a huge flat screen tv, a queen size air mattress, plenty of pillows and blankets, and even a little area to workout!  The upstairs bedroom is so nice and super cozy with a big comfy bed, a desk fan, and a little bench to sit or put your stuff on.  The bathroom is gorgeous and new with tons of fluffy towels, great smelling soap and even several bottles of water.  Best part of all is that we were in Austin for SXSW and this house was a mere 12 minute drive to downtown!  Couldn't have found a better deal in all of Austin, and although we never met Leia & Keri, they seem very sweet and professional and the cleaning lady (who was there when we left at 11am) is super helpful and friendly.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!"
676107,28310507,2015-03-22,26631184,Amber,Leia and Keri were awesome hosts! My best friend and I stayed in the private upstairs and felt very comfortable. It was very clean and just like the listing. Any question we had was met with an immediate response from Keri. BEAUTIFUL neighborhood. Would definitely stay here again!!! Great great great
676107,28687538,2015-03-28,29877903,Yeonhee,"HIGHLY recommended! :)
My husband and I got there late at night, so I did not get to see the host.  But we were very satisfied with the neighborhood, the location of the place, as well as the cleanliness and convenience of the place.  
Leia and Keri had the whole 2nd floor available for us to use.  They had a big TV and nice lazy chairs (although we were too tired to watch anything).  The bathroom and the bedroom were clean.  The bed was very comfortable; we fell right asleep.  
We ran into the host in the morning as we were walking out.  She was very friendly, and made us feel very comfortable.  
This is our (my husband & me) first AirBnB stay. I had a lot of questions here and there throughout the week before we checked in, but our questions were answered promptly.  We were very glad that we had made the decision to stay with Leia & Keri.  If we could have the same experience as we had with Leia & Keri, then we would not be staying at the hotel any more.  We will be contacting you if we travel to Austin again.  Thank you, Leia & Keri!"
676107,28803492,2015-03-30,17384283,Camille,Our hostess communicated well.  We knew how to get into the house.  The listing description was very accurate.  Nice neighborhood.  The house is off of a corridor street that makes it easy to communicate in  and out of central or downtown Austin.  
676107,29375730,2015-04-06,19007058,Scott,Leia and Keri were very accommodating.  We booked on very short notice and they were flexible in their schedule.  Located in a quiet upscale neighborhood not far from the freeway.  We had the upstairs to ourselves and pictures are accurate.  I would recommend this location and would stay again.
676107,29845133,2015-04-13,8811299,John,"The place was perfect for my quick trip to the Austin area.  Everything was neat and clean and very quiet.  Thanks Leia and Keri, my mystery hosts.  "

She was very friendly and welcoming. Their home was very nice, well kept, and immaculately clean.  These things are really important in order for me to feel comfortable, and I felt very comfortable in their home. I would love the opportunity to stay with them again if or when I return to the Austin area. "

676107,37790279,2015-07-10,36458558,Aurélien,"The house was amazing, and not so far from Austin downtown, about 20 minutes by car. The house is located in a peaceful neighborhood and is very well equipped, swimming pool, a work out space... 
We had the whole floor to ourselves, and it was very clean.
We had some interesting talks about sports, national parks ...
Too bad we were there for a single night ...
I recommend this place 100%"

Although we only briefly chit chatted with Keri while checkin out due to us being out pretty much all day and night during our trip, we really appreciated the fact that they checked up on us the following morning after we didn't make it back to their place the night before. My girlfriend and I have already decided to book their place again whenever we go back to Austin. We highly recommend Leia and Keri's home for all those who want to spend a quiet and comfortable night after a long day exploring Austin and all the wonderful things it offers. "

We scheduled last minute and they pulled everything together for us and in no time I was watching the season finale of Bachelor in Paradise in their comfy media room/loft upstairs.  Everything was super clean & tidy, the bed very comfy.  After a long, emotionally draining day it was great to be in a comfortable, quiet environment to unwind and regroup.  Thanks again Leia & Keri, you were awesome!!"
676107,46685547,2015-09-12,27447871,Saj,"Leia & Keri are lovely people. I arrived as they were wrapping up a dinner party and I was pleasantly included in on the conversation. Their home is great, gives me second thoughts about writing such a positive review since it'll make it even more busy, but the place really is nice. You definitely have your own space and the pool is a good perk. "

676107,52754893,2015-11-01,27861990,Cynthia,"This time I stayed in the upstairs private Oasis. It is very nice and a relaxing space, it includes a sitting area with a large TV and a bedroom and private full bathroom. It is quiet and I got a great sleep there !"
942333,3693658,2013-03-04,5061925,Maggie,"This was a perfect place to stay for our first trip to Austin-- Matt's place is in a super location, easy walking distance to all of the great shops and restaurants on South Congress and S. 1st. The room is small but really clean and  comfortable, and the house is beautiful. "
942333,3734520,2013-03-09,2275336,Eric,"Matt has an excellent place and it was easy to access, clean, warm and met some great people. He was very accessible, courteous and the location is absolutely perfect to catch the bus into the city. "
942333,3929696,2013-03-28,5292080,Elissa,nice quiet clean house in a great neighborhood. matt is a really nice guy and his pets are funny. we had a great time.
942333,5334731,2013-06-24,7009204,Laura,Great renovated house very conveniently located to all of the shops and restaurants. Accommodations were plain but cozy and nice. Bring your own towels. Don't know if this was a fluke but there was no warm/hot water in our bathroom when we showered at night or in the morning. Brrr. Thanks for letting us stay!
942333,8573080,2013-11-05,8682907,Rosie,"Excellent location minutes from the coolest streets in Austin, best brunch places, vintage shopping and live music bars, couldn't have asked for better. Room was small but had decent private bathroom, very clean and stylish. Could have been better communication before arrival as to check in process but Matt was incredibly nice and helpful when I did make contact."
942333,9882111,2014-01-16,2234947,Jake,"Good location, lovely house very clean and comfortable. Although we didn't meet Matt he was contactable via phone if we had any questions. Cute cats too :)"
942333,10048241,2014-01-27,11220168,Christina,"Great house in an awesome neighborhood! Few minute walk to one of my favorite areas on S Congress. Room is definitely small but nice and comfortable. The two cats in the house are adorable and friendly which is always a plus. The only thing I think that should be noted is there is an in-suite bathroom but it has no door. So if you are staying here with your partner, there isn't real privacy unless one of you hangs in the living room while the other uses the bathroom. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning. Never actually met Matt as it was a short stay and we were out all the time, but he was super quick to respond when I had questions. I would totally stay here again in the future. Thanks Matt!"
942333,10356013,2014-02-15,9008319,Avery,"The location of the house was great, easy walking distance to all SoCo has to offer. The room was small but well appointed and very clean. The shared area is large with plenty of space to hang out if you wish. There are two sweet cats who will greet you. I did not meet Matt but he responded promptly to text. I have already recommended to a friend and would consider staying there again if I return! Thanks Matt. "
942333,10556670,2014-02-24,12339287,Celeste,"Such a great house in a great neighborhood! Our room was the smallest but we made do by spending extra time outside and in the beautiful common areas. Matt is super friendly and helpful, and the cats were too sweet."
942333,11003108,2014-03-17,11346901,Mark,Had a small nook for a bedroom off the living space.  Great Location as we walked to Congress for shops and food.   Didn't realize we would be sharing the house with multiple couples so there was a fair amount of noise at all hours.   
942333,11576246,2014-04-07,3394047,Sophie,"Changed the room, but it was totally fine. Very easy getting in and it was a great location. I would stay again."
942333,12322477,2014-04-28,14699671,Justin,Excellent soco location. Room was small but perfect for what we were looking for. Easy process. Would definitely recommend 
942333,12577314,2014-05-05,13433854,Victor,"Never met Matt in person, but he was always available and quick with responses. The location of house was perfect, within in walking distance of SoCo. The room was perfect for my needs. I would definitely recommend."
942333,13395138,2014-05-26,14013675,Katie,"We had a lovely time visiting Matt's place this past weekend. Matt was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and when we arrived on Saturday our room was ready with towels, shampoo, and a key in the door. 

The bed was exceptionally comfortable and soft, and the room was charming. The toilet and tub were in the room itself without a divider, which wasn't so bad for a short stay, but might be a bit challenging for those staying for long periods of time. The linoleum on the floor was also a bit imperfectly laid, but only in a way that affected the room cosmetically. Otherwise, it was a very comfortable place to spend the night.

The house itself was beautiful and large, enough so that we didn't hear or see other guests too often. That is, except for the super friendly kitties! Such a pleasant morning surprise!"
942333,15368437,2014-07-07,12725284,Caitlin,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin staying at matts house. We walked from the house to downtown and had no issues. We were in the loft room which to our surprise was like a studio apartment, where the barhroom was not its own separate room. My boyfriend and I did fine in this situation but I would say if you are traveling with someone that would be uncomfortable in this situation just ask for a different room. The shower is small so if you are tall you might have issues. The room has it's own air conditioning which you will need. The place was great, Matt was responsive and it all made for a great trip! Loved the flexibility with check in and check out. The house is beautiful! Will definitely inquire again when in Austin!"
942333,22658244,2014-11-11,6078360,Elizabeth,My questions prior to arrival were ansered by the host quickly and the location was near perfect!  Access was clear and easy.  The property was clean and well equipped and it was in a GREAT neighborhood.  The side porch was an unexpected plus and served as a great safe location for the bikes that we rented for the weekend.
942333,22871222,2014-11-16,22837115,Maureen,"This is a great place! Matt's house is adorable, my room was clean and cozy! I did not get to meet Matt in person but he was great... Let me check in early and didn't get mad when I stupidly lost my room key. Cats are really cute and the location is perfect if you are on foot. Highly recommend!!"
942333,25692308,2015-01-23,21061444,Charlie,"Didn't get a chance to meet Matt but the place was great. Very cozy. Very comfortable bed. A side porch was very unexpected and great. Due to bad weather for a few days, I spent a lot of time here. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Matt."
942333,26442206,2015-02-12,18068718,Molly,The reservation was canceled 30 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
942333,27702078,2015-03-09,28661486,Jiwon,My first Airbnb experience and it was wonderful! Matt was very quick to reply and I appreciated how willing he was to accommodate to our needs. The room was just lovely and so convenient. Loved the private porch! The location was a gem! Thanks for everything! 
942333,28307230,2015-03-22,4427398,Sharon,"Great location, walkable to downtown and included all the great aspects of SoCo.  Lock on the room and in-room bathroom were good too.  Perfect for one or two people."
942333,28540864,2015-03-25,29411547,Liz,"I wound up staying in Room C and it was perfect! Keyless entry to the house made coming and going a breeze. The house and room were in excellent condition, and in an ideal location. SoCo is not to be missed! I will definitely stay here again when I return to Austin."
942333,30358881,2015-04-20,24018492,Tim,"I stayed in room E in the SocoBnB one night and it was a great experience. Matt made it easy to get in and allowed me to stay a little later on the day of checkout since my flight was in the late afternoon. I slept SO WELL in the tiny room, which had a great private porch. My only complaint was that internet was spotty in the room, but was better outside in the common areas. I hope to stay there again. Thanks, Matt!"
942333,33014670,2015-05-24,32780459,Christy,"This was my first time using Airbnb so I was very skeptical about the entire thing.  Matt changed my skepticism with his listing.  Although our room was a little small, the concept, convenience, privacy, and our own patio was the selling point.  Matt also responds very quick so that was a plus for me.  Thank you for everything!"
942333,35739751,2015-06-21,31183071,Brer,"Matt was quick to respond and help out when I had an issue booking a room. The house was great, super comfortable and in a perfect location.  I'm definitely going to contact Matt on my next trip to Austin."
942333,38958695,2015-07-19,38479953,Bobby,"Matt was a great host, responsive! great kitchen and common areas.
Wonderful location & neighborhood. Magnolia Cafe Brunch!!!  Other guests were cool and respectful. Love the Chaise lounge. Would definitely book again!"
942333,40415754,2015-07-30,31011936,Rich,"Awesome place to stay in SOCO.  Near Herb Bar, C Boys, Guero's & so much more.  This place was really clean and well cared for.  I'll definitely be staying here again soon!"
942333,43012966,2015-08-16,7895978,Kara,this location is great and the room is cute and private. The screened-in porch is awesome
942333,46108065,2015-09-07,9975996,Jason,No complaints. Great location! Because of a last minute cancellation Matt offered me an upgraded room at no extra cost. 
942333,46833697,2015-09-13,13225960,Megan,"The neighborhood was perfect - SoCo is exactly the vibe I love about Austin - and we could walk to a LOT of cool stuff to do.

My friend and I got a little surprise when we found out the en suite bathroom has no door - so fair warning for shy bladders, or bashful dressers.  Other than that everything was as expected - the mini-patio is both cute and functional.

Access was super easy, we actually barely had to coordinate with Matt at all, which I guess could be a plus or a minus, depending."
942333,47483133,2015-09-19,8738227,Sujohn,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
942333,48331017,2015-09-25,693228,Rob,"Matt's place was great, the location is awesome and the house is really beautiful, seconds away from South Congress.  We loved having our own porch. Recommended highly!"
942333,49778691,2015-10-06,2013695,Hannah,"Clean and cozy room with lots of privacy, although the room is small it's comfortable for 2 people. The house is in a great area with lots of restaurants and bars surrounding and close to downtown. Matt was friendly and helpful with clear instructions on how to get into the house and room as we arrived while he was at work. We really enjoyed our stay!"
4196826,21168814,2014-10-12,22027555,Allex,"What an excellent place! Anthony was courteous and very attentive, even from before we got to his place. Never intrusive and it was even great to accidentally run into him at a fast food place!

His place is spacious and very nice; exactly as described. We would be looking forward to going bac,!"
4196826,21551407,2014-10-19,1181141,Rachel,"Let me start by saying we loved our stay at Hotel Winston!  
The Location-The apartment is located equidistant between first and congress streets in a residential area.  The other houses on the street seemed to be all upper middle class residences.  I didn't see many signs of kids and heard/saw very little of the neighbors. It took about ten minutes to ride my bike to the bars/stores on 1st and congress.   It took about 5-10 minutes from there to ride to downtown.  Easy ride down but the way back up congress is kind of steep.  I would have felt safe walking (even at night) but it would be about a 30 min walk to the soco businesses closer to the river. 
The apartment-its actually a converted garage, but don't let that put you off.  Very industrial feel and everything seems new.  washer/dryer combo is in the bathroom. Bathroom is small but could still comfortably have two people in there brushing teeth etc.  Linens were all very nice quality and brand new. Host provided bottled water, no coffee maker.  It comes with two bikes-one a cruiser w/ basket and the other a mountain bike.   They were in fine condition
Hosts-Anthony was extremely attentive and responded immediately to any texts/calls.  He really wanted to know ways to make our stay more enjoyable and our opinions.  There was a small binder with some area attractions/info
Places we enjoyed while there were: restaurants-Bouldin Creek Cafe, Hopdoddy, and South Congress Cafe.  Coffee shops-fair bean coffee and once over coffee bar. Winebelly is probably the closest bar in walking distance and was actually really nice for tapas"
4196826,21850220,2014-10-25,3695250,Leah,"The space definitely had a garage apartment feel to it...but not in a bad way! I didn't even see a single bug the whole time I was there!! The apartment was quite large with plenty of storage space for clothing. Concrete floors and cute decor, new and updated kitchen appliances but the tv was a little small for the room, especially if you're wanting to watch in bed.  Air conditioner worked great, kept us cool and comfy. We took advantage of the bikes and rode around the neighborhood, going for breakfast at a nearby restaurant.  The bathroom was a nice size except it was a little dark in the shower.  The neighborhood felt very safe, was quiet with several joggers/bikers/walkers out and about. I would recommend this place seeing as the location was great, price was excellent and the host was very helpful."
4196826,21917162,2014-10-26,2424330,Polkan,"Very good place! In a calm neighborhood, the apartment is clean and neat. Anthony is a nice host. Recommended!"
4196826,22166445,2014-10-31,695021,Casey,"The space was great - a perfect fit for our needs.  The location is convenient to dining and entertainment, and it was impeccably clean when we arrived.  We'll likely stay again!"
4196826,22658296,2014-11-11,5741874,Neil,Accurate listing and nice neighborhood. Checkin and checkout was convenient.
4196826,22819285,2014-11-15,610146,Alan,"This was a last minute arrangement and Anthony was very accomodating in making it happen - thanks! While the place was overall ok - very clean, spacious, in good shape, a few things have me rate it with 3 stars. First it is quite dark being a converted garage with almost no natural light; the inside lights are bright, but only overhead with no lamp, for example, next to the bed, so when getting into bed you have to walk in the dark!  Also, the outside lights work on a sensor and this is fine when you arrive, but in leaving, the sensor doesn't work until you turn the corner of the garage. If you stay here, be sure to bring your own soap since none was provided! If you have a car, keep in mind that it's at least 10-15 minutes to get into town - and without a car, don't even think about staying here! "
4196826,24299739,2014-12-25,15271995,Sarah,"This space is a converted garage. It has a kitchen with sink, stove, oven, microwave and full sized fridge. There is no coffee pot, french press or kettle. We got by with instant. Although there wasn't a proper pot to boil water in. The location is residential, and a grocery is within walking distance. There's is a washer and dryer which is a huge benefit!! The bed is comfortable; pillows are good. Sleep was great - it is very quiet and dark which, after all is the point, right? Heater took some getting use to. Shower is perfect with great pressure and lots of hot water. The booking and arrival procedure was good. I would highly recommend Anthony as a great host. "
4196826,26114727,2015-02-03,5994344,Jay,"This is a very nice professionally operated guest house.  It was very private and quiet.  The space felt very new and clean.  We always felt safe and look forward to returning. 
Anthony was very responsive to our needs.  He and his team ""get it"".   "
4196826,26264226,2015-02-08,26181921,Amanda,"This was fantastic, it was easily accessed there were no last minute problems.  Everything in the room was as expected, other reviewers complain about a lack of a lamp but since then one has been put in.  There was coffee in the fridge just waiting to be made!  Everything went smoothly and if I do come back to Austin I would definitely stay here again.  Thank you!
"
4196826,26841749,2015-02-20,22538469,Elizabeth,"It was such a cute oasis to stay in!! We loved the space and how homey it all felt. Perfect location to walk to congress for a morning breakfast! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, Hotel Wilson was perfect and we will certainly keep this place in mind the next time we come to Texas!! "
4196826,26940629,2015-02-22,5840024,Henry,"Anthony's spot was great.  Quiet, good location, and clean.  We enjoyed our stay. "
4196826,27077571,2015-02-24,3941902,Conrado,What a great AirBNB experience!  The place is better than described and has everything you need for a short or extended stay.  It's in a super convenient area of Austin and the hosts run this place seamlessly.  Some of the pluses included the private yard and the presence of a washer and dryer.  This was a great deal and we'd love to stay again.
4196826,27277600,2015-03-01,19070616,Mark,"You can't beat the location! It's in the thick of it, the space was clean and getting in was well communicated. It worked perfectly for my needs. Thanks!"
4196826,27371493,2015-03-02,3124977,Sean,"This was a great and charming studio location in Austin! Although I only stayed for one night, its location was perfect and comfortable. It felt stylish and chic, yet quiet and relaxing. It was within walking distance to South Congress, and I enjoyed the stroll before getting some pizza and a beer. Anthony was very helpful with the logistics, and directions to get in the unit were simple. I would absolutely recommend this unit for future visits."
4196826,27469681,2015-03-05,6225440,Nelson,Anthony's place was perfectly located and decorated.  As a host he was a good communicator always available to answer any questions.  
4196826,27541886,2015-03-07,27319571,Stuart,"Awesome experience. Great place. Thank you. 

Stuart"
4196826,27592823,2015-03-08,21422782,Kamal,The garage apartment looked exactly as pictured. It was perfect for my two friends and I to stay. We were only in Austin for the night but we will look to this place again if we are there for a longer duration. 
4196826,27720253,2015-03-10,12763508,Karen,"Communications with Anthony were timely and pleasant from the moment of booking. We felt very welcome.
The space itself is roomy and comfortable and private. We made good use of all the brand new appliances, such as the washer and dryer. We were also glad there was a heater because we had the bad luck of a few rainy days in Austin. "
4196826,27804350,2015-03-12,27561391,Rachel,"Their place was very nice and clean. They had games for us to play, which was fun. The couch was super comfortable but the bed was not. It had a memory foam on the top, but it was still pretty hard! Really close to everything, easy parking, and all around great place! I would stay again. "
4196826,28308451,2015-03-22,25812128,Maleni,My friends and I really enjoyed our stay! Hotel Wilson was clean and decorated beautifully. It's like a well equipped spacious studio.  Getting around was easy there's a couple bus to you can walk too. And he has bikes! We loved it 
4196826,28525244,2015-03-25,14854183,Caitlin,My stay in Austin was perfect thanks in large part to these wonderful accommodations! The studio was a very comfortable size and so well decorated it really felt like I was staying somewhere special. The location is great - a quick drive to everything you could want to see in Austin and some places even within walking distance. 
4196826,28875922,2015-03-31,27425468,Alyssa,My friends and I were looking for a private space and we found one in a wonderful location at Anthony's. If you need anything the grocery store was a very short walk away. We loved having the kitchen and would definitely stay again!
4196826,29401716,2015-04-07,25396784,Richard,"Great location near SoCo. I did not have a car and found the location to work well through the combination of walking and Uber. The apartment feels like a garage -- floors are concrete, for example. But how very Austin, right? Furnishings are attractive and functional. Added plus is the washer/dryer unit. It's both private and quiet."
4196826,29538105,2015-04-08,30720680,Virginia,"Anthony was a great host.  Very easy to get key and check in.  The apt was clean, spacious and a good location. "
4196826,29550496,2015-04-09,27404183,Lauren,We had a great stay at Hotel Wilson. Very clean and close to some great eats! Would definitely recommend staying. 
4196826,29636528,2015-04-10,30311435,Lauren,"Great location. We felt very safe and were close to all the places we went on our trip. The apartment was clean and comfortable. All the necessaries like towels, glasses, soap were available. The bed frame was a little loose in one area and the blanket could have been thicker but overall we had a great experience for the price and location."
4196826,29737555,2015-04-12,27806147,Sofi,"Place was really nice, great location, and very clean. The only thing that was odd is that we found mens underwear at the foot of the bed the first night so I don't know if the sheets were actually cleaned before we got there. "
4196826,29886087,2015-04-13,30715110,Kristen,Beautiful and clean. Sweet neighborhood. Definitely recommend staying here!
4196826,30191468,2015-04-19,17324193,Alyssia,"Loved staying here! Quiet, dark at night (perfect for our baby), and clean. We especially liked the decor and the large fridge! Thanks!"
4196826,30671853,2015-04-26,27800505,Heather,"Super cute place! Loved having a kitchen and being able to do laundry. The bikes were a nice extra. There was only a bottom sheet provided for the pullout, but after contacting Anthony, proper bedding was dropped off. There was quite a bit of pet hair in places, so something to consider if that bothers you. Overall, a great stay and close location to where our event took place. Thank you!!"
4196826,30906518,2015-04-28,596423,Kim & Pete,"Great space in a fun location. Walking distance to SoCo and 1st Street. Check-in and check-out was easy. Clean and comfortable place to stay. The internet felt a little slow, but who needs internet when you're in Austin? Plentiful street parking and a full kitchen."
4196826,31024622,2015-04-30,14197138,Lauren,"This studio was just what we needed. We had a car and it was very close to South Congress and easy to access other shopping/food areas. 10 minute drive to the Boardwalk for a morning run. Good wifi. Felt like a very safe neighborhood.  The host is not on site, just a lockbox but they were always available by phone and very helpful. Probably our favorite thing was the washer and dryer. We didn't, but you could totally cook in the kitchen. 
Possible cons: 
-Not sure if there was cable but we couldn't get anything to turn on the tv. We didn't care since we were in Austin to explore and eat anyway! 
- it's pretty dark since its some type of converted garage. Some people probably prefer this (it's great for sleeping in!) but some people prefer to have some natural light in the daytime. 
Overall would definitely stay again and would recommend! "
4196826,32133897,2015-05-14,880762,Christine,Enjoyed our stay! Would recommend due to prime location and reasonable cost. Anthony was a great host.
4196826,32194004,2015-05-15,22337539,Wayne,"We've normally stayed in the North Austin area, but this was great being so close to everything in the downtown area! Everything was very clean and arrival/departure was also very convenient. "
4196826,32341029,2015-05-17,29818819,Kendahl,We had good experience at Anthony's house. Easy to find and plenty of street parking close by. The room was exactly as pictured with some minor cosmetic differences. Clean and very well air conditioned! We had a very quiet and peaceful night. Exactly what we needed. 
4196826,32467508,2015-05-18,28784451,Hannah,"Anthony is very responsive and helpful. Check in and checkout was easy. All the information is in the room, very well organized. The studio was prepared lovely and clean, with everything needed, even include the cleaning supplies! The location is great. It's close to the main attraction yet remains quiet for a good rest. Can't ask for anything better!"
4196826,34637615,2015-06-10,2439876,Carrie,"I stayed here for six days and it fit exactly what I was looking for in South Austin. I did have a car (street parking was always available), but also walked to the stores on South Congress and the food trucks on South First quite easily. The studio was a cool and quiet place to return to in the evenings."
4196826,35025524,2015-06-14,563436,Michelle,Anthony was very quick to respond to my texts and his place was very clean!
4196826,35408150,2015-06-18,8057991,Joy,"Nearby SOCO, perfect for a quick stay!"
4196826,35676068,2015-06-21,19807661,Virginia,"We were in ATX for a girls weekend. This garage apartment was cute and we felt very homey. We didn't really interact with the host but when we called to ask about bedding for the pull out sofa we received a quick response. We were missing pillows and a blanket. Unfortunately, when someone came to bring the requested items, we were only given a bottom sheet, not a blanket. We're resourceful and made due and that's the only complaint we can find with the place! "
4196826,35994074,2015-06-23,22908900,Jeongin,"We couldn't meet the host, but we were able to communicate with Anthony very easily. The house is very similar to what you can see in the picture. Easy check-in and check-out. I think they remodeled the garage to this nice and cozy place, so I would like to mention that the floor is not wooden or carpet, but concrete floor (or similar). We haven't got much time, so we were unable to use the bicycles, but I think you can use bicycles and that will give you an easy access to downtown. One thing that didn't meet my expectation was bedding. Overall, it was a clean and tidy place but we found some stains and hairs on bed (so we used towel to cover that up). Except for the beddings, it's a great place to stay. "
4196826,36130306,2015-06-25,31244585,Carly,"This was in a fantastic location. Extremely close to Downtown. In a quiet neighborhood. Clean and cozy environment. It was great for our one night stay, and the access to the bikes were a cute touch even though we didn't have time to use them. "
4196826,36246324,2015-06-26,34678181,Camille,"This was my first time using air bnb and I was so pleased with Anthony's space! It was exactly as described and in the ideal location (you're right on south congress essentially, you can't beat it). Not only was the space great but Anthony himself was easily accessible via telephone when questions arose. Will absolutely be returning to this space when I find myself back in Austin."
4196826,36587298,2015-06-29,35577451,Jess,"Neighborhood was awesome, close to everything. Studio was clean and well kept. "
4196826,36751827,2015-06-30,2037022,Caitlin,"Great place, super close to downtown. Anthony was very helpful in anything I needed and very quick to respond. Would stay again! "
4196826,36869898,2015-07-02,31859427,Josh,"Place was great! Quiet area, close to everything, secluded and secure behind the house with on street or driveway parking. Had everything that you would need for a short or long term stay. Would highly recommend if in Austin!"
4196826,37098783,2015-07-04,13218711,Shawna,Awesome place! Perfect location to downtown Austin and Congress! There was an HEB right around the corner. There apartment was the perfect size for my sister and I. I will see if this apartment is available every time I come to Austin. 
4196826,37560485,2015-07-08,31924950,Ben,"Anthony was very welcoming and responsive. The check-in process was flexible and smooth, and he responded to all messages extremely promptly.
The studio is in a quiet neighborhood and was very private. It is accessible via transit if you are ok walking a bit. We had no problems walking to one of a few nearby stops. It is also near an HEB grocery store which was very nice to have access to."
4196826,37793208,2015-07-10,3644373,Atie Laurent,"The house is good if you dont want in the city center but not far from it and to feel more local. The rent fee is right. We recommend guest to visit Zilker Park to feel the natural-fed spring water pool, it's awesome and see bats fly back home under Soco bridge. Overall our experience was great in this place. Thank you Anthony. "
4196826,38023587,2015-07-12,6874900,Paul,"We had an enjoyable stay. Great location as walking distance for all of the action on South 1st, South Congress (a little further walk) and LBJ Lake and Zilker Park (a nice 3-mile walk). "
4196826,38440027,2015-07-15,36659606,Satnam,"Great place , everything you've needed and more  . Cycles were a great addiction ! Close to many great eateries ! "
4196826,39438615,2015-07-23,38285463,Anthoni,"Anthony's studio was the perfect place to stay for my wife and my one day trip to Austin and would have been great for much longer.  The apartment is well decorated, clean, and comfortable (very cool and refreshing in the summer heat).  It is in a good location, short drive to downtown or SoCo and in a peaceful neighborhood.  Anthony was so welcoming and professional.  He was easy to communicate with and went out of his way to help us when we had an unexpected dilemma upon our arrival.  Would absolutely stay here when we visit Austin again. "
4196826,39538149,2015-07-24,29265339,Susan,"Anthony was a pleasure to communicate with.  He always got back to me in a timely manner and was able to meet all of our needs.  His space was comfy and cool on a hot summer trip to Austin.  We loved the neighborhood as it was quiet and peaceful.  The studio was close to one of our favorite haunts, Curra's.  So we weren't very far from chips and salsa! Ole!  Overall, we would love to stay again!  The place was the tops!  Here's to Hotel Wilson!"
4196826,40121910,2015-07-28,18676643,Adam,"My girlfriend and I had an extremely pleasant stay here. I arrived in Austin very late at night and had an issue upon arrival, but was met with wonderful hospitality despite the hour of day. The location of this spot is incredible, particularly for the price, and the spacious, extremely cool (physically and figuratively) living space was great to relax in after our long days exploring the city and its surrounding areas. Couldn't have enjoyed our time here any more."
4196826,40356357,2015-07-30,6413606,Catherine,"My husband and I had a great time staying in Anthony's studio. Everything was exactly as listed. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful, too, and was close enough for us to bike to a few places we wanted to explore. (Having the bikes and bike lock was such a huge bonus.) I'd definitely go back if we visit Austin again. "
4196826,40897959,2015-08-03,1292021,Ben,The apartment was as described in the listing. We enjoyed staying there and had no real issues with the place.
4196826,42240959,2015-08-11,2360417,Sonia,"Great location, close to downtown. Parking on street. Pets allowed, which was great as we bought both ours. Downside, the dog living next door is a barker, so they couldn't play long outside. Although austin is so dog friendly, we took them everywhere except dinner, which was a nice treat! Barker springs has a place for dogs that you can let off the leash! Rainey street for a hip area to walk around, and stop by Bangers, best veggie beet sausage you could ever have! Anthony was excellent at communication, and even working with us on an early check in and out! "
4196826,42634986,2015-08-14,38828985,Mark,Great communication and very accommodating. Great space and excellent location. Would highly recommend it. 
4196826,42883593,2015-08-16,20527241,Emily,"The location and space was perfect for our weekend in Austin, and Anthony (and Emily) were super helpful with all of our questions! The only trouble we had was with the A/C, but you have to understand most A/Cs can only cool 20 degrees below the outside temp, and it was 110 all weekend. SoCo is a very neat area and it was only a short $4-7 uber trip to downtown! Overall a great stay."
4196826,43194708,2015-08-17,20180425,Seetharaman,It was great and it was really organized
4196826,43361803,2015-08-19,25501402,Nicole,"I have ZERO bad things to say about this place! First, we ended up arriving to Austin about an hour earlier than check-in. We contacted Anthony's assistant, Emily, and she had prompt responses and allowed us to check-in about 40 minutes early. The place was exactly what we needed. It is a converted garage, but didn't feel like that at all. Very warm, beautifully decorated. Access was simple. We used the 2 bikes they provided for use and they were great for getting around! We did a complete Austin tour on their bikes. You are also walking distance to South Congress. Upon check out, my husband accidentally dropped his drivers license. Emily called us promptly and mailed it to us, with the nicest handwritten message. Emily was amazing and so easy to work/communicate with. Would absolutely recommend and stay here again!"
4196826,43566129,2015-08-20,34597447,Christina,"Had a great time at Anthony's place! It was clean and well kept. Only complaint was the couch was very flat and not comfortable, but would definitely stay here again! "
4196826,43773811,2015-08-22,30529897,Natalia,"Awesome location, perfect for my stay in Austin. Would not changed a thing. The place was clean, had all the necessary items for my stay including two bikes. 
I would highly recommend this place to a friend. "
4196826,44153694,2015-08-24,36715134,Camila,"For my first time using airbnb, this was an amazing experience ! Nice little
Place with the perfect amount of privacy. Perfect area in Soco. I would rebook & recommend without a doubt "
4196826,44484343,2015-08-26,10400068,Deborah,"The garage studio was perfect for my dog, boyfriend and myself. It's in a great location, close to South Congress, South Lamar and minutes from downtown. The price and location really make this a wonderful airbnb spot. I would definitely stay here again! "
4196826,45531014,2015-09-03,580674,Alice,Anthony was easy to communicate with and replied in a courteous and timely manner always.  Listing and photos are accurate.  The only curveball was with the electronic keypad which was quickly resolved.  You cannot beat the location if you want to be near So Co.  I liked the feeling of a garage hideout and having your own private space down the driveway.  I also made excellent use of the washer / dryer in the unit.  A good stay!  [Review written jointly by Alice who made the booking and Scott who stayed there.]
4196826,45774543,2015-09-06,34061009,Marissa,"This place was great! My mom actually stayed here, and she was a bit nervous, it being her first airbnb experience. It was very clean, good parking, and quiet. She actually locked herself out, and the owners came right away to let her back in. Highly recommended staying her as Anthony is very responsive, the place is great, and the location can't be beat! "
4196826,46073507,2015-09-07,43039879,Tuan,"Perfect location, quite neighborhood, and awesome place. "
4196826,46491051,2015-09-11,9754188,Sai,"Anthony's place was just as it is in pictures. Well maintained, compact and beautiful. He's a good host, coordinated well with me and allowed for early checkin when i needed.  Only wish the backyard was a little cleaned up so we could've used it and also the couch bed wasn't that great to sleep on.  If you are three people then this might be a problem."
4196826,47454396,2015-09-19,1218658,Joss,"Anthony and Emily were very accommodating, we arrived early and asked if we could have an early check in which they were happy to oblige. Additionally we got locked out of the house due to a misunderstanding about the keys and Emily drove straight over and let us in.

The down sides were that the fold out couch was in need of some repair. The couch actually sloped backwards towards your head and eventually we just took the mattress off the bed and put it straight on the floor. A few small things would have made this listing just that much better such as there were only three coffee mug for four people, no kettle, and no clothes determent for the washing machine . We did appreciate that there were coffee filters for use with the coffee machine.

The location was good and the hosts were very contactable, I would stay here again for two people."
4196826,47657150,2015-09-21,5468441,Priya,"Anthony offers a very nice studio to stay in during your next trip to Austin. It's clean, comfortable, and well-located. If you stay here, definitely check out WineBelly just up the street :)

Anthony and Emily are both extremely responsive and responsible. The only surprise was that the place felt a bit more garage-like than I had expected, particularly the flooring. "
4196826,47785087,2015-09-21,3023409,Jack,"The place was comfortable and spacious, and just as advertised. Easy check in and out"
4196826,48205869,2015-09-24,29401679,Harry,Great location. Nice apartment. It was well Air conditioned. Anthony was accessible and helpful. 
4196826,48322493,2015-09-25,31790062,Ashley,"We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Wilson! The room was spacious, clean and the location is great. Everything was within a 2 mile radius. We'd definitely stay here again!"
4196826,48684268,2015-09-28,26927368,Nora,"Anthony was very responsive over email! We appreciated the neighborhood and we're happy to find a 24hr grocery just a few mins away.
The apartment itself is surrounded by trees, which is very nice, though there aren't many windows.
The bed is comfortable! :-)"
4196826,49191842,2015-10-01,1831271,Cambria,"This was the perfect spot for our Austin Trip.  The host was incredibly gracious: booked us last minute, quick communication and fixed any problem on the spot. There were so many things we loved about the space! It was big, warm, welcoming and had everything we needed to cook, do a load of laundry and watch tv for a night in. It was quiet, clean and best sleep I've gotten in days. Private entrance, awesome yard space (my well behaved pup loved sitting outside) all located in the middle of town. Easy to Uber to downtown or get on the highway. Can't sing enough praises about it...It even impressed my other guests staying with us.  Can't wait to visit again."
4196826,49589727,2015-10-05,6773185,Joel,"Loved this space! Spent a long wknd here for ACL, and it was perfect. Location was within biking distance of Zilker, and super close to all the shops & eats down South Congress, especially with the 2 provided bikes. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Anthony! :)"
4196826,49934559,2015-10-07,11886459,Xander,"Very convenient, cozy place."
4196826,50091329,2015-10-09,3740008,Linh,"Anthony and Emily were so easy to work with!  The studio had all the amenities we needed and was comfortable.  There isn't a lot of natural light which made for great sleeping in and nap sessions.  Only tricky things were that the floor is raised around the perimeter which caused a few stubbed toes, and that the bathroom is a little dark so it made showering a little tricky.  Overall it was a great place to stay!  Thank you!!"
4196826,50270218,2015-10-11,34047640,Raechel,A fabulous host at a great spot in an exciting city! 
4196826,50669290,2015-10-13,44103835,Jimmy,Everything was perfect! The location was great and the space was very comfortable. We were able to cook a dinner and utilize the entire kitchen. The only downside was noticing the couch was a pullout after we were packed up to leave. Ha! Our bad. Thanks for a great time! If you're looking for groceries - stop by the HEB and grab a burger from the food truck in rhe parking lot! 
4196826,51116430,2015-10-18,38400981,Billy,This was my first Airbnb booking. What you see in the pictures is what you get. Everything was great! Anthony and his assistant were very responsive. Would definitely stay again
4196826,51421148,2015-10-19,393193,Shelley,Very cute little place - easy to find and get into. Host was super communicative and I enjoyed the quick stay a lot. Would definitely recommend!
4196826,51780976,2015-10-24,10853006,Dj,"Lovely place to stay and it was so roomy.  I loved the fact that there is a full size refrigerator and stove.  Very quiet and welcoming, and the couch and bed make it very comfortable. Definitely will stay here again!"
4196826,51923320,2015-10-25,9826777,Michael,Place was awesome!!! Perfect location and rental for Formula 1 in Austin!!  Thank you very much Anthony!!
4196826,52414449,2015-10-29,20604147,Kerry,"Great place!! Safe, quiet neighbourhood, close to the fantastic SoCo food vans and restaurants. Anthony's assistant was friendly and responsive, and check in was easy and stress-free. We loved this place and would definitely stay here again. "
4196826,52558993,2015-10-30,47546926,Lauren,Anthony's place is a great location in Austin! Tons of things to experience right around the corner. His studio provided a lot of room and it even had a couch. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Austin!
4196826,53121748,2015-11-05,20738174,Martha,"Anthony's place was great. So close to downtown and very spacious and clean. The location was perfect for walking or riding the bikes he provides to any restaurant, store, park you could imagine. "
8954309,52298643,2015-10-27,23065540,Tyler,"Dania was a great host.  Booked on very short notice and she was happy to accommodate.  Space was as advertised and the location was fantastic for walking only a block to South Congress.   
Thanks again for the stay!   "
5190890,29893978,2015-04-13,30878167,Madison,Steven was very willing to work with us on our arrival and departure times. He had a conveniently located apartment that was stocked with clean towels and place to rest our heads. 
5190890,30814749,2015-04-27,30988836,Andrea,We had a great trip to Austin and enjoyed staying at Steven's place. Steven is a cool friendly guy and was accommodating. Centrally located- enjoyed walking everywhere. Accurate description of place. Fun place to stay for 20-something year olds like us. Would definitely stay here again. 
5190890,31249644,2015-05-03,6993803,Alaia,I came to Austin for work and needed a place to stay for a couple of nights. This place was clean and in a great location. Steven was super easy-going and accommodating! 
5190890,31803306,2015-05-10,30866406,Jaime,"Great location, great neighborhood, great host.  Steven was very responsive to all of our questions before and during our stay.  We didn't see him much, but Steven was very accommodating in sharing his space.  Check in and out was a breeze. It was a good choice for a quick trip to Austin."
8648604,50059631,2015-10-08,45530719,Ryan,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
7901374,44080431,2015-08-23,24165667,Teri,Great location. Great price. Prompt and courteous host
7901374,48746593,2015-09-28,37275407,Evan,"Mario's place is in an ideal location if you're attending an event on, or near, campus.  He was extremely flexible with check in/out times and was a great host overall.  My only warning would be that parking in the area is an absolute nightmare depending on what time of day you arrive.  Thankfully, almost everything I could want or need was in walking distance, so once I found a parking spot I didn't touch my car for the rest of the trip."
7901374,49481290,2015-10-04,43359908,Leslie,"Mario was pleasant and on time when we arrived and departed. The location is great, right by the campus and easy walking distance to downtown.
Great place if you're coming in for a game and need a quick place to stay."
7901374,50311248,2015-10-11,34862137,Justin,"I never actually met Mario and the key was left for me. It was a bit confusing finding the key initially and Mario was not answering his phone. I eventually figured it out and upon getting into the apartment Mario had responded and everything went smoothly. The apartment was clean, modern and had a pretty cool view. It is student housing so I felt a bit older then the average kid there but had no problems with noise or anything. Mario was very flexible about the check in and out time which was very highly appreciated so that I could store my bags until my flight departed at 9pm. Overall the place was nice, centrally located and an awesome price"
7901374,52304298,2015-10-27,19350699,Trey,"Didn't get a chance to meet Mario, but everything was as described. The apartment was in a younger student population of campus, but the place was clean and had a great view of the city. Glad to have stayed here for our night in Austin"
1641751,7954421,2013-10-09,1602751,Dasha-Karina,"Such a great location! It is perfect for exploring Austin and is also close to many shops, restaurants, cafes and is walking distance to Austin City Limits, it's perfect!

My favorite part of staying at Eric's studio was how clean everything was, it is feels like staying at a hotel! I was very impressed on how extremely functional the layout was! It was a perfect size studio for my 3 friends and 1, each with our own bed!! The 2 sets of bunk beds are separated by a large bathroom. This can add to even more privacy when traveling with larger groups that may be up/stay up late than the other half...you can hardly hear the other side of the studio. 


Eric was also an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. We were even welcomed with a fridge stock with water and a case of beer! 

Thanks for a great stay!"
1641751,8339601,2013-10-26,2884038,Terry & Michele,"Great space and great host. New construction, clean, lots of storage. Eric was very helpful and gracious, and this was a convenient location to explore Austin, by foot or bike or car. I would definitely want to stay here again if my travels bring me to Austin."
1641751,8394916,2013-10-28,9541290,Deanna,"Eric is a friendly, generous and considerate host.  He was clear and concise in our communications about our stay and he responded quickly to our requests (where to eat breakfast and access to wine glasses).  His rental space is new, clean, neat, efficient and cleverly divided into 2 separate yet connected spaces.  We are big fans of minimalist aesthetic and so this place suited us to a T.  It would be perfect for 2 friendly couples, 4 singles or a family of 4.  Eric was also appreciative of our feedback to add a shelf in the bathroom.  We also loved the location!  Perfectly convenient to everything we wanted to do (eat good food, see interesting neighborhoods, explore cool shops, walk at town lake).  If we hadn't had our baby with us, we'd have enjoyed taking advantage if Eric's generous offer to use his 2 bikes.  All in all - we'd definitely stay here again!  a note to patents with small kids: the concrete floors in this space made for easy cleanup (we've got a spitter-upper!), but also made us anxious about falls (our little guy is just learning to sit up) - not a deal-breaker, but if you bring little ones, consider bringing an activity mat of some sort."
1641751,8631890,2013-11-09,4445971,Allie,"I only stayed at the Bicycle BnB for two nights with a girlfriend, but it was perfect for us! It was really easy to check in, and when Eric arrived home from work, he helped me with the bikes and told me to let him know if there was anything I needed. This space is definitely big enough for up to 6 people, even though there's only one bathroom. Plenty of clothing storage space, and lots of natural lighting, which I really like. The only thing I would recommend to Eric is to get some sort of heating fan for the winter months. I was cozy enough at night with blankets, but since the floors are concrete, I would suggest for the winter having some sort of warming unit in the place. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay, and Eric was very helpful. The waters in the fridge were a definite plus, since I don't trust tap water anywhere except Manhattan. Soco is my favorite part of Austin, so the location was perfect! I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone. "
1641751,8679378,2013-11-11,9842058,Charles,"A great, affordable little backyard studio in an awesome neighborhood. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but it was perfect for our needs and we'll definitely be back. "
1641751,8798377,2013-11-18,9031849,Cassandra,"Staying in Eric's studio was a real pleasure. The space was clean and comfortable. If you want to spend a night in on your vacation, the backyard with a bonfire area is  perfect way to not spend lots of dollars and be perfectly entertained. 

Having bikes in a city like Austin made it super easy to get around. If you use car2go, this is a great area to be in (there was always a car option within 2 blocks the entire week we stayed here).  

In short: I would definitely stay with Eric again, especially if I were coming to Austin with a group. "
1641751,9059861,2013-12-03,8723790,Florian,"Eric is a great guy (thanks again for helping us out, when the German banks left us without any money!!) and his place is beautiful. The little house has a lot of space and is spotless. South Austin is also great and has a lot to offer: try the delicious pizza and great beer at the ABGB!"
1641751,9657569,2014-01-04,264243,Mason,"Eric's attentive and helpful, I was able to arrange plans with him on the fly while traveling and he always replied quickly. He was always ready with a good recommendation for Austin, but what was really golden about the stay was that he left me a great cruiser bike to use and a 6-pack of local beer for when i (website hidden)+bikes, what's better??  with the access to the bike and a bus-lines nearby, Eric's place is in a great location for stuff to see on the south side of center. i hope to stay here again!"
1641751,10056586,2014-01-27,11547691,Jayne,"This was a great place to stay.  The neighborhood was very quiet and the amenities were outstanding. The location was really convenient and close to alot of great things to do.  The host was very attentive and his dog was very well mannered.  This was our first time trying Airbnb and we definitely will be doing this again.
P.S. The fire pit was cool too!"
1641751,10166904,2014-02-03,4500223,Diego,"Eric's place is awesome - new, clean, spacious and close to all the action in Austin. Although I didn't have a chance to meet him in person (my fault, though), he made sure that everything ran smoothly for us to settle in. Will come again if he lets me! :)"
1641751,10388486,2014-02-17,11345688,Timothy,"Hospitable host. Made sure we had everything we needed even after a late check-in. The place was exactly as advertised, we loved it."
1641751,10919081,2014-03-13,1847416,Daniel,"Staying with Eric was fantastic. The place is clean, spacious and perfect for a group. You have easy access from the street, in a quiet neighbourhood. There is a bus which takes you straight into Austin from the main road near by. Eric is a brilliant host and really looked after us while we were there. Sadly we didn't get a chance to use the fire pit. Maybe next time!"
1641751,11001443,2014-03-17,2454389,Marcella,"I stayed with 2 friends during SXSW. The place was clean, comfortable, and we enjoyed the coffee and beer! Easy bike/walk to South Congress or South Lamar, and a nice bike ride ~15-20 minutes into downtown Austin. Eric's bicycle B&B was just what we needed to have a great stay in Austin. It's a nice little quiet oasis to come back to after long days and nights out for SXSW. Would stay here again!"
1641751,11333914,2014-03-30,13184047,Colleen,"I had a great time in Austin. I loved staying at Eric's place! Location was perfect for me - near downtown and my favorite things to do. Plenty more people would fit than just me, so next time I come back I'll stay here again and bring friends. Thanks Eric!"
1641751,11612202,2014-04-09,10862061,Saskia,"cool place in south austin. exactly as described. good privacy when traveling as friends as we did. bus stop close by. nice bars, cafés and shops in walkable distance. eric was a great host, good communicator. has free bikes for guests. it was my very first airbnb experience and everything was perfect."
1641751,11755395,2014-04-14,6130451,Shannon,"Eric was a helpful, attentive host and his rental was a delightful (and wonderfully clean!) home base for exploring Austin. I was traveling with a friend and the set-up gave us each a ""side"" to settle into with plenty of shared space for lounging around including the front porch. The bikes were a key amenity--we rode to Barton Springs Pool every day for a swim. At night we could easily walk to South Congress, 1st or nearby Lamar for good eats. The neighborhood was quiet and in a good location to get that living like a local vibe."
1641751,11930775,2014-04-19,12880112,Beth,The Bicycle bnb was clean and spacious--it would be great for a group of up to six people.  The highlight of my stay was having access to a cruiser-style bike to ride while exploring Soco.  The location is near a bus station and park.  A highlight of the amenities is a 6-pack of local beer and a Keurig coffee maker!  
1641751,12285531,2014-04-28,4281123,Albert,"Eric was an awesome host--warm and approachable. We enjoyed our stay in the little cabin. My dog had an amazing time in the yard and he got along well with Dife, who is such a sweetie. The shower was pretty awesome and the whole space was comfortable and clean. We found that the wifi was only good on the right side of the space. Would gladly stay there again the next time we are in austin! "
1641751,12381387,2014-04-30,5625654,Danielle,"My friends and I had an awesome stay at Eric's bnb! His place is in a great location and he provided all the essentials. The house is cute, clean and comfy. I would definitely stay again!"
1641751,12619432,2014-05-06,12683531,Ben,"This was my first stay via Airbnb and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Eric was a gracious host, and offered prompt, courteous replies to all of my questions/comments. He checked in with my companion and I periodically without being intrusive. The space itself is terrific; clean, well-decorated and incredibly comfortable. The yard and studio are nice and quiet, as is the surrounding neighborhood. Conveniently located near a number of great places in Austin. Easy walk to Torchy's Tacos on 1st Street. Short drive to Barton Springs, Lick Ice Cream, South Congress, etc. and just 15 minutes via 71 from the airport. Looking forward to staying here again on my next trip to Austin."
1641751,12699580,2014-05-08,4090062,Shamus And Ashley,"Eric's spot was exactly what we were looking for! Close to everything, cold ac, comfortable beds, and a beautiful back yard! We biked around Austin for a couple days using the bikes he left for us, and had a blast. The short ride to Barton springs is a must, couldn't have been in a better spot! "
1641751,13162609,2014-05-20,413804,Lisa Marie,"This sweet little bunk-bed bungalow is even nicer in person; such great design and very clean too. Eric let me know how to get in since he was going to be out of town. We didn't even get to meet him the entire stay, but everything went smoothly and the stay here with my brother and my two year old daughter was really great. Our weekend was jam-packed with adventure, we didn't even get a chance to visit any of the open studios we had planned on visiting (Eric so kindly left us an open studio catalog - very nice touch). The bunk beds are really comfortable!"
1641751,13393905,2014-05-26,15807620,Michelle,"This little casita was just as beautiful as the photos show. This was the first time using Airbnb and I have to say this was such a better option then paying for a hotel room.  We had treats, water and a 6 pack waiting for us.  The bed was super comfy and the location was great. Thanks Eric for making this special little home for visitors like us.  "
1641751,13687206,2014-06-02,11215001,Chris,"I stayed a week at the bicycle bnb in Austin and had a wonderful stay.  The guest house was well designed, quiet, and walking distance to a great brewpub. Eric was out of town on business but he had a friend check on us.  We were happy to find a cold six pack in the mini fridge waiting for us.  The included bikes were a little worn so we just rented some down the street.  Great trip!"
1641751,14087349,2014-06-11,15088717,Pete,"Eric was super helpful throughout the booking and the whole process was seamless. 

The studio was exactly as we had anticipated it and was both clean and comfortable. 

The area was really pleasant and close to number of cool places to hang out. Plus having the bikes gave us total freedom to explore the whole city, which was completely invaluable. "
1641751,14417732,2014-06-18,1636739,Joanne,The cabin was comfortable and in a quiet location not far from the center of Austin by car or bus. There is a local  shop to purchase grocery items. There were lots of things to do in the area. We especially enjoyed swimming at Barton Springs which is a short drive away.
1641751,14683726,2014-06-24,13563827,Lauren,"This little studio is such a great find!! My friend and I absolutely loved staying here. It was very comfortable and clean and situated in an awesome neighborhood. We really enjoyed the privacy of the studio and beautiful yard, lovely bathroom and nice amenities (water & beer stocked fridge). We will definitely stay here again! Thanks Eric."
1641751,14933043,2014-06-29,148936,Paula,"Awesome little spot and for anyone with an interest in small building design, super-cool study in how to fit a lot into a small but open-feeling space.  "
1641751,15266391,2014-07-06,219828,Lisa,Eric is a wonderful host and his place is terrific. A short bike ride to downtown and SOCO. We would stay again in a heart beat!
1641751,16786512,2014-08-02,715962,Caroline,"Eric's prime Austin spot was really perfect for my recent week-long stay. It is a space that is certainly suited for many housemates, though I was solo -- the space is clean, welcoming and versatile. Eric was a gracious and communicative host and provided the perfect set of wheels for my week's stay (and some biking tips as an Austin newbie). A+, high five, totally going back."
1641751,17544031,2014-08-13,481629,Andy,"Great communication and easy instructions included in confirmation email.  Location is awesome and very easy to get places with a car.  Nice space for a group coming down for ACL or similar but we fine as a couple too.  No kitchen, but a fridge and coffee maker.  Also no TV which isn't a big deal but worth mentioning. "
1641751,18214470,2014-08-23,3954802,Omar,"Eric emailed us detailed instructions about how to get to his place and know tos. Him and his dog welcomed us. He was very helpful guiding us to what was near his place. The location is perfect, close to everything good about Austin. His dog is a very friendly dog, my dog got along extremely well with her. The apartment was comfortable and we had everything that we needed. Definitely a must stay if you want to bike everywhere or of you just want to be comfortable."
1641751,18810569,2014-09-01,18826048,Meredith,"The house was in a great location off south lamar. Eric was very easy to work with and flexible with my chaotic planning. House is as described and very clean. I would recommend it to anyone coming to Austin, who wants to explore the city. "
1641751,20815724,2014-10-06,6808560,Caitlin,Spent ACL weekend at Eric's place and it was a great experience. The house is located at around a 25 minute walk to Zilker park and is well situated for any Austin vacation. Eric was easy to communicate with and made for a simple and hassle free stay. Thanks again!
1641751,21049388,2014-10-10,18840461,Jenna,"I stayed at Eric and Dife's place between the two ACL weekends.  It's exactly as advertised - very clean, and comfortable, and well thought out for larger groups of people (although it was just me).  The location is easy to reach from the highways and it very accessible to the 1st St and SOCO  areas.  As a female traveling alone, the neighborhood seemed very safe and it was so nice of Eric to let me borrow from a couple different bikes to get around.  Highly recommended!"
1641751,21278355,2014-10-14,17559212,Ana,"Eric and Dife were fantastic hosts! It is a beautiful set up and very accommodating place. The location was very convenient with a groceries and restaurants nearby. Everything was perfect. There were six of us staying, but it worked out great! Thanks for a great weekend! "
1641751,21522550,2014-10-19,21129968,Nathan,"The listing was perfect! We were welcomed by Eric and his friendly dog even though we came in late. He got us settled, but did not linger. There was a sixer and water waiting for us in the fridge. The beds were comfortable and we felt completely safe in the neighborhood. My wife and I ran to Zilker Park, South Congress and the Capitol with ease and safety. I have already told multiple friends about this place and Airbnb and plan on going back next time we travel to Austin."
1641751,21676267,2014-10-21,4147151,Richard,"Prior our arrival we received all the information from Eric. When we arrived Eric was not home. So we where welcomed by Dife roaming the garden. As we received all the information earlier we where settled very quickly. The place is clean and has all the essentials for a great stay. Eric was very helpful with any questions we had and we could choose which bikes to us for our stay.
"
1641751,22025312,2014-10-28,21504120,Derek,"Good place to stay, clean and close to downtown. If your needing a nice place to stay and only needing a bed and shower this is perfect. Eric was very helpful with any questions we had."
1641751,22226587,2014-11-02,1730385,Brooke,A wonderful rental in a great location! Eric was more than helpful and his rental had everything you need. Dife was very sweet and welcomed company sitting on the porch. Would definitely recommend Eric's rental to anyone visiting Austin. 
1641751,22406761,2014-11-05,22501929,Santiago,"We (a party of three) had a great time in Austin during the F1 weekend and we have to thank Eric allowing us to stay in his property.  The house has everything you need to be used as a base camp to spend a few days just wandering around this great city.  A comfortable bed, clean/working bathroom, a coffee machine to start the day and a fridge to end it (thanks again for the complimentary beers).  The property is also in a great location, a short stroll to S. Congress, a mini market and a short taxi ride to downtown (or 18 minutes jogging....downhill).  All in all, a great place to stay and would highly reccomend it to anyone.  Thanks again Eric."
1641751,22533200,2014-11-09,5425333,Amanda,Eric is a fabulous host (very communicative and friendly) and his studio is perfect for a comfortable stay in a very charming part of Austin. I definitely recommend! 
1641751,22876097,2014-11-16,552295,Emil,"Loved staying at Eric's house. Check-in and check-out is pretty down to a simple system. It's pretty much self check-in/out, which is something I prefer. 

That being said, once you're in the house, there's two bunk beds, a bathroom and a mini fridge loaded with nice surprises. 

However, Eric was really nice enough and checked in with us, to made sure everything was ok when we arrived. 

The place is located just on S5th and Oltorf, so it's really convenient.

Overall, great place. Highly, highly recommend. "
1641751,24067975,2014-12-18,1502092,Dianna,"Nice, secluded house with ample privacy and space. Great location for exploring. Too bad the weather wasn't very cooperative for biking but we will be back when things warm up. Thanks Eric for being so helpful with clear instructions and directions for getting in and around. "
1641751,24904165,2015-01-03,10077590,Sally,"What's to say that hasn't already been said? Eric's studio is great and in an excellent location! I even brought my little dog, and she felt right at home. Even in the cold and rainy Austin weather, we were cozy at night with ample heating. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an inexpensive alternative to a hotel. Thanks, Eric!"
1641751,25279926,2015-01-11,13027930,Vicky,"Eric's cottage was the perfect week-long stay for me and my dog. I was in Austin for the Cyclocross National Championships and had a lot of bike stuff. It's nice that the cottage has cement floors that clean up easily. The bunk bed was comfy, the shower water was hot, and the fridge was stocked with bottled H20-- pretty much all I needed. The location is excellent for access to South Lamar's Tex Mex and dance halls. I highly recommend the live honky tonk music at Broken Spoke!  Eric was polite and available any time I needed him. I highly recommend his bnb!"
1641751,25610307,2015-01-20,18347763,Pat,Eric was very easy to deal with and made the whole experience go smoothly. He was responsive and even checked in to make sure we were okay. The space is in a nice neighborhood. You can walk to restaurants on South Congress Avenue or take a 10 dollar Uber into downtown Austin. Overall it was a good pick.  
1641751,26647578,2015-02-16,5666042,Nicole,Eric's studio was perfect for us and we really enjoyed staying here. Eric was great at communicating with us before we arrived and helpful when we were there. The place was also more than enough space for just the 2 of us and the yard/fire pit was a great addition! We would definitely stay here again!
1641751,26997372,2015-02-23,1726135,Isaac,"Eric's place is exactly as described.  It's the perfect, charming South Austin place to stay.  I rented it for my father while he was visiting, and he had nothing but good things to say.  I'd recommend it to anyone else coming to Austin."
1641751,27356377,2015-03-02,9946345,Sarah,The apartment was fantastic! Very clean and had everything you needed! Great location. 
1641751,27663963,2015-03-09,4728896,Curt,"Eric was most helpful and welcoming during my 4-night stay. The studio was exactly as described, nice and clean, including the fridge stocked with plenty of water and a 6-pack of Lone Star, a Keurig machine with coffee/mik/sugar, comfortable bed, cups, and space heaters that were needed during a couple of unusually cold nights for Austin. Wi-Fi worked well and street parking right in front of the house was always available. Eric's dog was friendly, too.

The location is excellent with easy access to South Austin landmarks along Congress and Lamar. I was surprised at how quiet and private the studio was as well. The neighborhood is all residential on a quiet side street. 

Eric was super responsive when booking and during my stay and cordial in the times we talked. He offered suggestions about places to go and things to do, and even offered to take me for a bike ride (it was too cold for me that day). 

The studio was a great home base for all things Austin, including my forays into the hill country and elsewhere to hit the top bbq spots in the region. It was also a nice quiet place to kick back and read, work online, or take a nap. I would definitely stay there again. "
1641751,27776217,2015-03-11,1849765,Andrew,Eric's place was awesome for our short stay in Austin. Everything was as described and my buddy and I felt totally comfortable. Eric came out in the rain to meet us and was very welcoming and hospitable. We also walked home at night from the Continental Club on South Congress and felt completely safe in the neighborhood. I would stay here again and would definitely recommend it to friends.
1641751,29078247,2015-04-03,8039342,Dave,What a great base for our Austin adventures!  Eric was helpful but not intrusive.  The space was clean and met all of our needs. It was all of our first air bnb experience and we were all won over!
1641751,29222935,2015-04-05,27594881,Eliza,"Eric was a wonderful host and his guesthouse was exactly what we needed for our trip.  The guesthouse was spacious, and Eric provided all the amenities, from toiletries to coffee fixings, to awesome local beer. He provided bikes and was very friendly. He was attentive but also gave us enough privacy to be comfortable. 
The location is near south congress. It's a quiet neighborhood and about a 10 dollar ride from downtown by taxi, lyft, etc. 
There is enough space for 6 people, the place feels very secure, and I would definitely book here again if the opportunity arose."
1641751,29561645,2015-04-09,19828490,Dillon,"My boyfriend and I had a fantastic stay in Eric's studio!! Everything was exactly as expected and we had a comfortable, quiet, and relaxing experience, while enjoying everything Austin has to offer. 

Eric was warm and welcoming upon our arrival, made sure we had everything we needed, and he was friendly and helpful  through the duration of our stay. (His dogs are very friendly as well).

The place was private and cozy for two, but contains beds for up to six to sleep comfortably. There was coffee for us in the morning and a six-pack of local beer chilling in the fridge, as well as plenty of water. (Very nice, hospitable touch). It's close to lots of great restaurants as well as about a 2 mile walk from Zilker Park and downtown. (Uber is not too expensive either to get to further out places). 

Overall, a great experience! Highly recommend! 
"
1641751,29844077,2015-04-13,28842645,Bradley,Wonderful location and residence. Eric supplied great advice and amenities. Highly recommend.
1641751,30049767,2015-04-16,4660593,Shannon,"Eric and Erin were excellent host!  I'm from Austin and very familiar with the neighborhood and it's a perfect location. The place was inviting and quiet, plus the dogs were friendly.  I also enjoyed arriving to see a 6 pack of Texas beer waiting for me in the refrigerator.  I usually come to Austin once or twice a year so I plan on staying here again!  "
1641751,30405256,2015-04-21,12931431,Angel,"Eric and Erin's place was perfect for me and my friends girlfriends getaway weekend. The place is cozy and minimal but had everything we needed. The pictures on the listing show exactly how it looks. Location was perfect, nice neighborhood and close to all of the hot spots that we wanted to get to. Having the free bikes was also really helpful and a fun way to get around. The dogs only add to the charm and totally keep to themselves, quite shy. Eric and Erin checked in a couple of times to make sure we were okay which was really nice. They also had a lot of good advice about places to go in certain places to avoid. Super easy self serve check in/check out. We had a fabulous time in Austin and we will be back very soon.  It's such a cool city!"
1641751,30988480,2015-04-30,1524778,Todd,"Eric and Erin were very quick to respond to text messages and phone calls.  They were open and inviting.  Location is great, near restaurants, bars, coffee shops, food trucks, Barton Springs etc.  The bicycles were one speed cruisers, which were fine for the relatively flat Austin streets, but not for long distance exploration of the entire city. They provided coffee, water and beer.  There isn't a kitchen to cook, but with all the restaurants nearby it's not necessary.  Actual cottage has a little bit of a dormitory feel and does not feel very warm or homey.  Great place to sleep and crash, but not to ""hang out."" Overall a good experience for Austin. "
1641751,31462882,2015-05-05,30124147,Sarah,"We had an amazing time! Eric & Erin were both awesome, welcoming and full of knowledge about Austin and the surrounding area! They even invited us to cook out with them one night! So cool, right? The house was great too, loved the layout and the space we had! Best part was the fact that they had bikes set up for us. The bikes were key for us getting around the city, so it was perfect to have them. Oh and they had tons of water and a cold 6 pack waiting for us. Awesome experience and highly recommend! "
1641751,31710408,2015-05-09,2574467,Jennie & Kevin,"We loved staying at the studio! Having access to bikes was a great way to see Austin, even if we did get a little rained on a few times. The space has everything we needed (including good AC) and Erin was easily reached with any questions."
1641751,31991558,2015-05-12,30311615,Melissa,"When we checked into Eric and Erin's place, Erin welcomed us by the side door. She reminded us where we could find the keys and bikes. The house was very easy to find and access. We only stayed for two nights but the place was perfect for what we needed. The neighborhood was quiet and just a short bike ride or drive to lots of restaurants. Would definitely recommend this location to anyone visiting Austin! "
1641751,32776280,2015-05-21,29448348,Matt,"We enjoyed our stay! Cold water and beer in the fridge was a welcomed sight upon arrival. We had no trouble with noise while falling asleep as the house is on a quiet street. Erin let us know she was available for anything we needed, but otherwise let us do our own thing--which was nice. We were excited about using the bikes offered, but overcast weather for much of our stay convinced us to stick to our rental and uber (about $10 to 6th street). The location was central to everything we wanted to do in Austin. Great!"
1641751,33396358,2015-05-27,8052213,Brian,"We had a great stay with Eric and Erin! They were very accommodating, great location, good experience overall. Would definitely stay again!"
1641751,34570800,2015-06-09,3680035,Nicolas,"Eric & Eric's place was exactly what we were looking for: clean, quiet and well located.
But what really made the difference is how welcoming and easy going the hosts were. Eric landed us two bikes which we used every single day and recommended a few great places to check out in the neighborhood.
The house was spacious for the two of us and the little garden at the front was perfect for a morning coffee or an evening drink, it could not have been better!

We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Austin. 

Nicolas & Alex"
1641751,35271110,2015-06-16,15354219,Brian,"Easy and simple, Eric and Erin were great hosts. They were incredibly accommodating, quick to respond, and great communicators--which made everything easy checking-in and checking-out. Tons of privacy, with a private entrance to this little bungalow made for a great trip. Its location was perfect, and having a car made it easy to get to Lamar, 1st, and South congress.  It would be pretty easy to get around by bike, but I didn't get a chance to. Fully stocked fridge of beer and water was treat and perfect for the warm weather. Would definitely stay here again. "
1641751,36898302,2015-07-02,762173,Rachel,"My husband and I had a lovely stay in Austin. We wanted to experience a ""tiny house"" and this was an excellent one. It was cozy, quiet and fabulously clean. We met Eric briefly and he inquired as to how everything was in the house. The directions were very clear for arrival and we had all that was needed. I especially loved the coffee set up with the Keurig. Great airbnb experience!"
1641751,37090486,2015-07-04,36141677,Lauren,The listing and description was super accurate and the cold water and beer right when we walked in was a much welcome treat!  Erin gave us some great ideas on what to do around town and the bikes were awesome in traveling to Barton Springs and restaurants close by!  Would highly recommend both the location and the hosts
1641751,38071523,2015-07-12,4970299,Laura,"Eric and Erin's place is so cute and it was perfect for our short visit to Austin. The location is prime for great places to eat,go out and also enjoy some outdoor activities at Zilker and Barton Springs. The Bikes were a great bonus to our stay! If you are visiting Austin and need a great place to stay please don't even think twice and book here because Eric and Erin and their doggies r great hosts "
1641751,38670317,2015-07-17,21424887,Bradley,Eric and Erin were great hosts! We found their place comfy and well located.  
1641751,39127031,2015-07-20,28989531,Sarah,"So glad we stayed here!! Perfect location and amazing hosts.  We truly felt welcome.  

The studio itself was awesome... Very clean and spacious.  Beds were super comfortable!  Would like to stay again in the future and will be recommending to friends."
1641751,41122367,2015-08-04,11979043,Karim,"Had a great stay! place is very clean and the setup is great the two bunk beds are separated by a bathroom so it gives you a bit of privacy if you sharing the place. the place had two Acs which were really needed in that Austin heat! 

Eric was very friendly and offered us tips & helped us with whatever we asked for. The place came with a lot of nice extras like free water in the fridge for the whole stay, bikes that you can use to get around & a nice collection of books if you feel like reading.

The location is very quite & relaxed but close enough to get to most places in less than 10-15 mins by uber. would definitely stay again!
"
1641751,42080066,2015-08-10,862765,Bobby,Great location and sweet dogs too! My friend and I stayed for a hot sunny weekend and enjoyed riding bikes around SOCO. Eric's place was comfortable and quiet and we had a good nights sleep. I'll be back!
1641751,42600218,2015-08-14,40272342,Andy,We really enjoyed our stay at Eric and Erin's place. The location along with the bikes made the whole stay a great experience. I would encourage anyone to stay at Eric's.
1641751,44072464,2015-08-23,18566162,Kathleen,"I only met Erin and Eric briefly, but both were happy and available to help with any questions I had. Their dogs were very friendly. The studio was exactly as described and was very clean. There was a sixer of Lone Star and numerous bottles of water in the mini-fridge and they were very much appreciated. The location was prime for me and my dog, given that it was so close to the greenbelt and Zilker. The area is great; I never felt unsafe and there were lots of great restaurants/coffee shops within walking distance"
1641751,44559703,2015-08-27,7552271,Kelly And Seth,"My friend and I found this place to be exactly what we needed for a no frills vacation. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact there were two bunks beds (we thought just one) and two (necessary) air conditioners. Erin and Eric had the fridge stocked with waters and a 6 pack. There's a keurig in the studio which also came in handy. The location was really close to Barton Springs, Zilker Park, south Lamar, Congress and South 1st. Because of the heat and location, we wound up taking a lot of ubers to/from downtown and never really ventured outside of zilker/downtown. You might want a car to get the full experience, but Erin and Eric provided several bicycles which were fun. Eric was also very helpful with filling any tires and things like that. We had a great time, thanks! "
1641751,45226544,2015-08-31,31171445,Kev,"Eric and Erin have a great, decently- priced place. Everything was great; Erin was very accommodating during our stay. The place is huge for the price and they even allowed us to use their fire pit. Would have paid a fortune for a hotel this passed weekend with the same conditions. I definitely recommend and would love to stay again if I could."
1641751,46784477,2015-09-13,42332965,Shannon,"This was my first Airbnb experience, and Eric made it very easy and comfortable by answering all of my questions (sorry, I'm a journalist). I stayed for almost a week with my pet for a conference, and Bicycle BNB was just what we needed. It was a quick drive up Lamar or Congress to get downtown for my daytime schedule, and it was really close to the South Congress and South First entertainment districts for some low-key Austin fun at night and during breaks. I never missed having a television or other hotel amenities. The WiFi worked great on my laptop; it was a little less reliable on my phone, but I had data to spare. The bottled water in the mini fridge was a great bonus and came in very handy for my extended stay. The space was comfortable and clean, and I always felt safe. I'd definitely stay there again -- with hopes that I could explore the neighborhood on foot and have a little more fun this time!"
1641751,47839984,2015-09-21,41370593,Jeremiah,We had a great stay at Eric and Erin's. Perfect location for us close to Zilker Park and minutes by uber to Rainey Street and all the sights of Austin. Would definitely recommend to others!
1641751,48286307,2015-09-25,40442667,Alan,Eric was waiting at the house when I arrived.  He showed me where everything was (bikes mainly) and recommended some things to do and places to eat & drink.  The place was clean and tidy and had a lot of information inside.  The fridge was stocked with water and a 6-pack of beer.  The A/C cooled the place off quickly and with separate sides you had some privacy.  I love that neighborhood and getting anywhere on bike was easy.  As a bonus...we had a flat tire (with no spare).  Eric came and picked us up in no time.  Very cool.  Thanks for everything. I would definitely come back. 
1641751,48715225,2015-09-28,20665083,Antonio,"Eric and Erin are great hosts, communicative and quick to respond.  They were very accommodating of my last minute request for an additional guest.  The studio is simple, clean and comfortable.  A perfect place to crash if you have a busy schedule.  Also, they have two dogs whom are very sweet so that is an added bonus.  Would definitely stay again."
1641751,49075907,2015-09-30,28462998,Mark,"Great little house in the backyard. Nice, quiet, central, close to everything. It was a perfect place for my two-day business trip. "
1641751,51237926,2015-10-18,22052666,Sinovia,"We had a wonderful time at Eric and Erin's Bicycle BnB!   Their house is in a really central area.  There was great food within walking distance and even more within a very short Uber drive.   Being able to take in the sights,  sounds and tastes of Austin with their amazing,  centralized neighborhood as our base enhanced our experience more than we could have imagined.   Eric and Erin made sure we had everything we needed for our stay.   They had some great guide books in the house and a cool calendar of local events to give a heads up on what was going on in the city during our stay.  Great hosts,  great time.  We are already planning our return trip!"
1641751,51456705,2015-10-20,12763508,Karen,"How wonderful to find a stocked fridge upon our arrival at Eric & Erin's place! Especially since we requested an early check-in. It made us feel right at home. The place was spotless, light and airy. The neighborhood is cosy and safe, there are several bus stops within walking distance, or you can use the bikes for a 15 minute ride to downtown. We would definitely recommend this place."
1641751,51658690,2015-10-22,32000319,Rob,"The Hosts, Eric and Erin gave us all the needed information prior to our arrival. 

The area is a grate location, close to a lot of bars and restaurants. Uber was only $4-$5 to the Long Center or Barton Springs. The space was clean and welcoming. Water, coffee, and a few beers were supplied. Enough room for 6 people. We really enjoyed our stay."
1641751,52673900,2015-11-01,11988577,Clare,"Eric & Eric were very communicative and friendly. Great little studio, very clean, great location. Great coffee machine too! Would recommend."
78004,206580,2011-03-22,37391,Nick,"Tyler was an awesome host! He made sure to make my friend and I feel at home as much as he could. He has recently been added to the list of funniest people I have encountered. If you have a chance to stay with him, I recommend it."
78004,544331,2011-09-19,361298,Diana,"As a host, Tyler was very friendly and welcoming on my stay at his place for ACL weekend.  He worked with my work schedule to find a time when I could get settled into his place, which I appreciated.  He even looked up the bus route I needed for me.  The location was well located for exploring south Austin.

Sadly, Tyler is new to Airbnb hosting and there were some kinks to my stay.  The bathroom hadn't been cleaned and wasn't cleaned over the course of my stay.  It had a lot of hairs, shaving bits, and laundry on the floors and counter and a dirty bathtub.  The bed in the bedroom was comfortable, but a portion of it sagged so that if you were in bed with another person and were near the edge, you had to be careful not to roll out.  He could have also tidied up more of his personal items in his room, since there was laundry out on the door knob and stuff falling out of the closet.  

When I mentioned the positives and negatives to Tyler, he was very receptive to making changes for the future.  I think this place has potential to be an even better experience for those staying at this affordable, well located place in the future!"
78004,609686,2011-10-08,1226361,Tish,"Tyler was fun, relaxed host. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome and comfortable He gave us great recommendations about some of the best spots in Austin. He even took us out to some of these places.

If you want to experience what Austin has to offer with a guy who knows how to have a good time, I recommend staying with Tyler. This is by no means a fancy hotel room, so keep your expectations realistic. This is however a fantastic way to experience Austin and one of its finest. 

Also, definitely recommend check out his band- their music is great and they put on a great show."
78004,685720,2011-11-01,1321436,Wang,The host canceled my reservation the day before arrival.
78004,704763,2011-11-08,1368324,Tyler,"Tyler was a great host. We were out and about mostly, at a football game and music festival, but Tyler kept in touch via text to make sure we had everything we needed. His place is pretty conveniently located and a very short bus ride to the best parts of Austin. When I come back to Austin (hopefully soon) I'll definitely try to stay with him again."
78004,719607,2011-11-14,1383185,Vivian,"Tyler was a fantastic host. We really enjoyed our stay at Austin. The place was clean, and well kept. It is also at a great location - walking distance to some of the best shops and restaurants the city has to offer. 
Tyler went out of his way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. He volunteered to be our personal chaperone for a day, took us to the city's best look out spot on a mountain, and then drove us to some of the city's most famous bars and shows. 
I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to have a good time in Austin to stay at Tyler's house."
78004,982366,2012-03-09,759767,Jesper,"Just came back from a great time in Austin, staying at Tylers place. Tyler is   a good guy and very helpfull fixing a few things, that wasn't quite in place when i arrived. And he's an oracle when it comes to the local music scene, with lot's of great stories, a cool dude to hang out with."
78004,3795563,2013-03-16,3495163,Valerie,"Tyler is a very nice guy. 
There is a bus stop nearby, and the bus takes you downtown very quickly for sxsw. There is also an amazing diner with vegan and gluten free food nearby, Kerbey's."
78004,20866880,2014-10-06,21640748,Yasmine,"Tyler was very flexible and accomodating. His space was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to downtown, south congress street and Zilker park. "

5132094,26928125,2015-02-22,12362281,Ian,"You really can't beat this location, easy walk to rainey, to east 6th and plenty of food truck options.  The place followed suit, free parking, washer/dryer, comfortable bed, and the room was a lot more spacious than we expected.

Ashley was an exceptional hostess, great communication and very hospitable.  I've never heard a host say, ""help yourself to everything in my house, just pretend you're my best friend.""  

I'd happily stay here again."
5132094,27061688,2015-02-24,370586,Mary,My friend and I stayed at Ashley's adorable studio apartment for two nights. We loved it! Ashley is an amazing host and made us feel welcomed right away! Her place is so nice and in an awesome location. Right away Ashley pointed us to some amazing suggestions and we had the best trip staying at her place! The location is ideal and the host couldn't be better! Stay here!!
5132094,27282234,2015-03-01,8779253,Steve,"My wife and I visited Austin from Chicago and had a great stay.   Ashley was a excellent host and this place is well located to walk to downtown and visit the capital and university.   We visited for a long weekend and were mainly walking around town or taking Uber or public transit.  This place is very new and has a great kitchen for cooking and a nice porch for cocktails in the evening.   If you are not from an urban area and used to walking, I would recommend renting a car to access the downtown area as this place is about 3/4 of a mile away from lots of great food and entertainment.  Note, this is a seperate garage apartment with private entry from a very well lot alley. "
5132094,27664501,2015-03-09,16140760,Maggie,"I was in Austin for a conference and then extended my stay through the weekend, and I stayed in Ashley's adorable studio the whole time. I loved it! Ashley is amazing. She made me feel so welcome in a new city. She even sent me restaurant suggestions! The apartment itself is so nice -- brand new, she just moved in in December, so everything is new and clean. The location is convenient to downtown and the strips of restaurants/bars in Austin. I was able to walk everywhere -- I never took a cab once. I definitely recommend this place!"
5132094,28123168,2015-03-18,617070,Becca,"Ashley made me feel incredibly welcome before and during my stay. She prepared her apartment to feel welcoming and warm, was there to greet me and even took me on a quick errand to pick up something I'd forgotten. She was a great host and I would definitely stay there again."
5132094,28801732,2015-03-30,24712842,Denise,"This was our first time trying AirBnB and it was a wonderful experience. Ashley and her place were fantastic and we had everything we could need for our stay! She was there to meet us when we arrived, made us feel super welcome when we got there, and gave us tips on all the great spots in Austin - all of which were in walking distance and super fun! We also had a total crush on her decorating style :) If we come visit Austin again, we would definitely choose to stay here!"
5132094,29263953,2015-04-06,26004710,Grace,Ashley's place was clean and cozy. We were able to walk everywhere we planned on going from the apartment--the location is really unbeatable. Ashley was a lovely host!
5132094,29893972,2015-04-13,30876588,Erik,"We had a great time at Ashley's place.  She contacted us early, met us when we got in, and was very accommodating.  The room was very nice and clean.  She even made recommendations on a brunch place and night life which were excellent.  We plan to try to stay there again."
5132094,30387635,2015-04-21,1619782,Tamara,"We had an incredible three-night stay at Ashley's apartment in Austin. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos, probably even nicer! Everything is new and very clean, and we had plenty of fresh towels and clean bedding. The apartment is in a great location and we were able to walk almost everywhere! Ashley was extremely warm and welcoming and made us feel completely at home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends! "
5132094,31011191,2015-04-30,7094224,Alyssa,Ashley was a great host and her apartment was amazing! The location is perfect and walkable to downtown. Ashley met us and gave us a rundown of all the places to go with a map and great recommendations. The apartment itself is even nicer than the pictures - hopefully we'll be back to Austin soon and can stay there again!
5132094,32656241,2015-05-19,33394913,David,Ashley was very personable on the phone making us feel welcome in her home. In my opinion the studio apartment was MUCH nicer than the advertisement indicated. Very convenient location with lots of personality. Loved the view of the Austin skyline! Neighborhood is very nice with many boutique restaurants and bars within walking distance.
5132094,34562314,2015-06-09,21658149,Ron,"Ashley was a great host, very helpful and outgoing. Everything was set up for us when we arrived and she was there to welcome us and show us around and offer us suggestions of places to see and visit. The apartment was absolutely beautiful and the skyline view of downtown Austin was great! We had a great experience and would definitely suggest this to anyone else who is looking to spend some time in Austin."
5132094,35435918,2015-06-18,35373259,Alan,"Me and my friend had a GREAT experience staying in Ashley's home.  She was accommodating, informative, and a pleasure to communicate with.  

She has a beautiful home.  Her photos do not accurately portray the high quality that you will experience.  The place was clean and stocked with fresh towels and linens.  The location was perfect.  Walking distance to 6th street and Rainey Street.  

Can't wait to come back!"
5132094,41285285,2015-08-05,40074965,Josh,"Very nice, clean, and convenient! I will absolutely stay here again and recommend to others. A++"
5132094,44038060,2015-08-23,37414460,Tom,"Ashley offers her apartment to feel like a hotel experience while she is the warm southern host. The apartment is very clean, nicely renovated and seem that everything was picked so smartly and with great taste. 
Ashley offers great tips about the area and we ended up talking for at least an hour when I arrived. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely come back next year. 
"
5132094,47719507,2015-09-21,2075589,Zachary,"We had a wonderful time at Ashley's apartment. The apartment was clean and conveniently located to Downtown, Rainey Street, and lot's of good food. Ashley was available the whole time to answer any questions and provide advice. We would definitely stay there again."
5132094,49619906,2015-10-05,22286998,Kayla,"The apartment is cuter than the pics - great finish out and a really good use of the space.  It is super close to downtown, and was a cheap Uber ride everywhere we went (less than $10).  Very easy in and out.  The neighborhood is a little up-and-coming, but as two girls staying alone we never felt uncomfortable (and I ran alone one morning).   Ashley was very friendly and accommodating, letting us check in a little early.  She was easy to coordinate with as well.  

The only negative thing was an issue with pricing.  We were booking for a big weekend, and after requesting, 24 hours passed then Ashley raised the price as she realized there was a big event.  I understand the 'auto pricing' but I feel that when choosing to use it, you shouldn't punish your customer if you miss something."
5132094,50629760,2015-10-13,11788767,Meghan,"My experience in Ashley's apt was amazing! It was a great location to explore the city from, and perfect size for a weekend getaway. She is an excellent host, and made us feel very welcome! Perfect spot for a visit to Austin, TX. I would stay here again. "
5132094,51200288,2015-10-18,25957485,Vincent,"Ashley was a great host, she was very careful about our arrival and although she could not be there when we arrived, she took time on the phone to guide us into her appartment. View of Austin Skyline is nice indeed! The appartment was very clean and at a walking distance from all the main spots in Austin! Very good exeprience!"
8782322,50415785,2015-10-11,45759419,Alex,"Kelsey was an amazing host! Very nice place to stay, very neat and organized. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again if I ever come back to Austin! 5 star treatment!"
927419,11013004,2014-03-17,3415891,Jennifer,Haley's house was BLISS. It was the perfect sweet home away from home. We felt comfortable and relaxed and it was a quick walk to downtown for SXSW events. The porch and tee pee were highlights! We could not have picked a better oasis during a hectic week!
927419,28301982,2015-03-22,21437358,Jan,"Haley's place was perfect for our SXSW stay. It's better and more spacious than you see on the pictures! Two great decks outside. In walking distance to South Congress and City center (30-35 min). We loved Austin and the house.
Otto"

973465,3777378,2013-03-13,810947,Matt,"I can't imagine better hosts! Really friendly people and were more than willing to help any way they could, which was especially awesome given the craziness of SXSW."

662245,10920956,2014-03-13,11518973,Kira,"Brandon was very responsive and available throughout our stay in Austin.  The apartment was as described and in a good location.  Huge building that feels a bit like a college dorm. Walls are very thin and there is a little bit of noise from the neighbors. There is a gym and a pool but we didn't have the right FAB to access either. Secure parking which was really nice. The bathrooms were not clean, the first thing I had to do was clean the toilet and there was hair all over the walls in the shower. Luckily the bath towels and the sheets seemed cleaned.  There were no drawers or closet space in the bedrooms.  Instead of emptying the drawers he and his roommate actually just pulled the dresser and bathroom drawers out so they wouldn't have to empty.  Additionally, they locked the closets so there were no hangers or anywhere to hang clothes. This was really inconvenient because I was there for work and had nice clothes that needed to be hung up.  The whole place has a strange smell.  We made it work but wouldn't stay there again."
4411468,22338987,2014-11-03,6329034,Nathan,"Debora was a wonderful host. She was always available and flexible with her time. She helped us out a lot when we had questions.

The apartment was clean, bright and exactly as advertised. The beds was quite comfy! One nice plus is the apartment is in a gated community so its protected and parking is not an issue.

The location is awesome. You're a short walk (less than a mile) or cab ride to get to anywhere you'd want to go in downtown Austin or south of the river. 

Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely come back!"
4411468,22612154,2014-11-10,11490663,Molly,"Debora's spot is wonderfully located, right near SOCO and the river (literally connected to an amazing running/walking/biking path parallel to the lake/river). Also super easy to get downtown either walking or by car. The apartment was beautiful and Debora did a really amazing job of welcoming us upon our arrival. "
4411468,22914256,2014-11-17,14993711,Emily,"Debora was a great host. She was so helpful and prompt with communications, plus met us in person for checking into her home. Her home is lovely. Well decorated, clean, and great location. This was a great Air BnB experience!"

The bright, upbeat style of the condo provided a comfortable hub for our busy visit to a fun town. I hope to come back and stay here again."
4411468,25327903,2015-01-12,5504412,Wayne And Judy,"Great location! It is an easy walk to downtown (6th St) and South Congress (very cool area). We had four in our party and the space worked well. I liked the gated complex and reserved parking. 

Debora was a excellent host and we recommend her home for your Austin visit. 

We throughly enjoyed our Austin trip!

4411468,25915328,2015-01-29,3708516,Matthew,"Overall a great experience.   Debora did a great job communicating and was very responsive.  Made the reservation only a few days beforehand so timely response was essential. 

First time traveling to Austin so didn't know the area that well. The location was good (you can walk to the bars and restaurants on south congress and are right on the river).  There is parking right in front and the community is gated.   

The rooms are very tastefully decorated and has a very modern feel. Good internet connection (I was there on business so that was essential) and entertainment options such as flat screen tv and Roku. 

Way better than staying at a hotel given the location, extra space and kitchen if you wanted it (I ended up eating out, but nice to know it was an option). 

"
4411468,26154998,2015-02-05,18666612,Kathleen,"This was the perfect stay! My husband and I were looking for a quick trip away after or wedding and Debora made booking easy; she answered all of my questions along the way. Debora's condo is beautiful, clean, easy to access, and the perfect location for everything Austin has to offer. We were comfortable and happy when we would return to the condo after walking all over the city exploring the great food, sites, music and uniqueness of Austin. 

Debora was just so nice. Even though we did not get a chance to meet in person, she was always so quick to respond to my messages and was extremely helpful when we were afraid we might have to cancel last minute due to the weather in Boston (from where we were traveling). Thankfully, we made it and we had the perfect trip. I highly recommend Debora's condo for your stay in Austin. It was all you could ever need for your trip. "

4411468,28703342,2015-03-29,26187317,Steph,"This was a great Airbnb experience, super easy check in, very quick communications and a lovely apartment with everything you could need.

It's super well located, walking distance to everything going on in South Congress where we gravitated for most of our stay, and also just a walk into downtown. 

The apartment also has a whole range of magazines about the city which came in really handy when deciding where to eat etc.

Debora is a wonderful host and I would definitely stay here again if I came back to Austin, here's hoping!"
4411468,28982981,2015-04-02,18222548,Emily,"This was one of the best stays we have had since using airbnb! The apartment was adorable, very clean, and Debora had the refrigerator filled with drinks and goodies for us upon arrival. Perfect location to all of Austin's hotspots and tourist attractions! Debora was always available by phone or email if we needed anything! Hope to be back in Austin and stay there again soon!"
4411468,29132453,2015-04-04,1961765,Dang,"Ì was there with my son for 1 night. A very nice, modern appartment, well situated to walk downtown.

4411468,29912959,2015-04-14,26907214,Paul,"My friend and I stayed here so we could attend the MotoGP races at COTA.  
Location: Excellent - fairly short drive to the track, right next to the river, a short walk to lots of interesting restaurants.  Uber arrived in a couple minutes and rides downtown were quick and cheap. 

Place: Excellent - clean, quiet, and everything you need is provided.  Parking is really convenient and the neighbors we spoke to were very friendly.  

Host: Also Excellent - friendly, timely, and complete communication.  You can tell she wants your stay to be perfect.

If I return to Austin I will definitely stay here again.

4411468,30029970,2015-04-16,29119647,Andria,Not sure why you never received my review.  We could not have been more satisified with your attention to detail and the wonderful stay we had at your home.  This was a great place to stay.  Close to down town yet quiet and very comfortable.  We really enjoyed sitting down by the river for a peaceful evening drink watching the rowers on the river.  Debora you thought of everything.  Thank you.  Andria 
4411468,30090343,2015-04-17,2252423,John,The host and setup were great.  Really easy parking and entry.  Walking distance to downtown.  Awesome location and would stay again in a heartbeat :)

She messaged before the trip and responded quickly when I had a question on the last day. The neighborhood is also pretty nice. Apartment is in a gated complex. Easy to access So Co or downtown by car2go or lyft, or walk if want to walk off that BBQ. They were clear with the instructions and left contact information if needed. "

It was clean, fresh, quiet and included all of the amenities one could need (including coffee - thank you!).   Debora was  responsive to all questions (within minutes) and very accommodating.  Downtown was a quick ""Uber"" ride (less than $6.00), we could walk out the front door and see the river behind the complex, very calming.  I would definitely stay again and recommend this adorable place."
4411468,31311412,2015-05-04,6299779,Jessica,"Debora and Pat were great hosts. The apartment was cute and clean - just like in the pictures. And the beds were comfy too!

It's close to 6th street, as well as Congress Ave. - most of Austin is within a 10 minute ride from Debora's home. The home itself was perfect and very comfortable. Debora sent us all the relevant information in time even though she was traveling out of the country. Highly recommend a stay if you are visiting Austin.   "
4411468,32892025,2015-05-23,21129534,Lauren,"Loved the location! Being right near the river trail for morning jogs was perfect. The space was clean with lots of inspirational decor. For the most part, Deb was very responsive before and during our stay. Checking in and out was a breeze though we had a little trouble with the gate code entering the complex. Sometimes could hear the neighbors above us in the morning. "
4411468,33227590,2015-05-26,25326168,Jessica,"The house had everything we needed.

4411468,35383040,2015-06-18,1378473,Kyle,Had a wonderful stay in Deborah's apartment. I was visiting for a conference and enjoyed the walk ability of the location.

Her apartment was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the location, right on the Riverwalk across from downtown is unbeatable.  She provided us with all the amenities we needed including plenty of water in the fridge. We had a great stay in Austin!!"
4411468,40331310,2015-07-30,31812452,Andrew,"Debora's place is wonderful - great location walking distance from S. Congress and next to the riverwalk. The apartment is clean, comfortable and beautiful inside. Bottled water was provided in the fridge and we enjoyed watching a film with Netflix.

I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to my friends."
4411468,41415345,2015-08-07,4577017,Caroline,Quiet and EXTREMELY well located. We walked over to SoCo every evening we stayed there (less than 10 mins on foot). We'd stay there again!
4411468,41747241,2015-08-09,28595579,Brad,"Debora's place was amazing. Super close to both the airport and the city, and very comfortable to stay in. "
4411468,42197498,2015-08-11,12272489,Nadine,Debora's place was nice and is as shown in the pictures. The process was fairly easy although our group had some trouble getting into the complex using the access codes provided. We were a little disappointed about this as we then tried to contact the hosts at their emergency number but got no response regarding the situation until hours later and we had already kindly asked some other residents at the complex for help.
4411468,43097617,2015-08-17,16728517,Meredith,"Loved this apartment!!! Super clean, stylish, and comfortable. The location was amazing. Walking distance to lots of things. Great vacation. Our host was very informative as well. Thank you!!! "
4411468,43287824,2015-08-18,39152702,Kate,"This was a wonderful condo. Very homey and it was great location for getting around. We walked to the soco area for dinner and a quick uber ride into the city. Host was great with communicating, wish we could have stayed longer. "
4411468,43432633,2015-08-19,25897902,Sonia,"Debora's place is just as pictured - nicely decorated and clean. It is also located very close to downtown which was really helpful in getting to experience Austin. The beds were comfortable which made for a good nights sleep. The only things I would say that were a negative is we had a hard time finding the parking spots reserved for Debora's place as the numbers are very worn on the asphalt. Also, we were woken up early by maintenance mowing the lawn/trimming. They came by the apartment several times. Overall, great stay for a great price."
4411468,43685819,2015-08-21,34157233,Elle,"The place is exactly as pictured inside, clean, and everything is as promised. The one and only critique I have may be particular to me, but I would have wanted to know prior to arriving so I will mention it here. The apartment is located on the first floor, with glass sliding doors in both bedrooms that lead right outside to an area that is accessible by anyone in the apartment complex. Being a woman alone, this made me feel rather unsafe. I would have wanted to know that it is on the first floor and in a gentrifying neighborhood. Although the space itself is lovely inside and very nicely decorated, I did not sleep very well because of this simple safety issue. Nothing happened, but, it did keep me up at night. "
4411468,45275399,2015-09-01,38974402,Laura,"Debora was a wonderful host and the positive reviews of the host and residence are accurate. Lovely condo, great location. Debora sent a lengthy email in advance detailing everything we needed to know to get into the condo. Coffee was waiting, which was greatly appreciated. She was in touch with us before our arrival to make sure we were able to get in, and responded quickly to our questions after we arrived. Very accommodating! Thank you, Debora! We would definitely stay here again."
4411468,46119883,2015-09-08,31310595,Morgan,Debora was a great host! Bottled water was provided and everything was clean and welcoming.

4411468,47348306,2015-09-18,30125022,Patti,Nice stay- close to downtown- loved the boardwalk. Thanks so much
4411468,47609920,2015-09-21,15320831,Robert,"We had a great time. Location was great (right on River walk...near the Bats, etc.).

Everything was as described....definitely would stay there again!

Thanks Debra!"
4411468,48677496,2015-09-28,32867183,Colleen,"This cute apartment is roughly a 20 minutes walk to downtown Austin or SoCo.  Very convenient.  Not really a neighborhood 'feel' as it's on a busy street, but located far enough back that the street noise does not effect 'home'.  Deborah and her husband were both very responsive when we had a couple mishaps and we appreciated that very much. "
4411468,49312277,2015-10-03,18351647,Rachel,"Debora's place was great! The listing is spacious and clean with 2 bedrooms as described. Some basic toiletries, towels, and bottled water in the fridge was kindly provided. The location is very convenient also. It's a close walk to the SoCo district."
4411468,49967365,2015-10-08,26455089,Ben,"Debora's condo was perfect!! And the location, even better. Just an 8 minute Uber into the main areas 6th and Rainey Streets. Although I didn't meet her, she was always available for any requests. Highly recommend this place - I'll definitely be back!! Thank you Debora!!"
4411468,50203191,2015-10-10,44290811,Devin,This place was the perfect location for me and my husband. It was such a short walk to downtown! The place was great. Our flight got in early so Deborah was nice enough to let us drop off our bags three hours before check in. The place was super clean and super cute. I HIGHLY recommend it!! 
4411468,50611409,2015-10-13,24241336,Aoiffe,"Firstly Debora was terrific, really a wonderful host. Her dialogue in advance made us feel really comfortable about all our plans. She is a Grade A host. Loved that she dropped us a short note to make sure we arrived safe and sound.

Her home is spotless, really quick quiet walk to South Congress coffee shops and restaurants, really easy location for ACL. Safe and secure. Great Air BnBr"
4411468,51427452,2015-10-20,36144573,Sue,"Very clean and well located unit. The complex has gated entry that gives added security. The unit is located downstairs which we liked. No lugging suitcases upstairs. It's located far back enough from the main road so there was no noise from traffic. There is a private parking space directly in front of the unit that is very convenient.  This unit is spacious and comfortably furnished. The bathroom was clean and a good size. Both bedroom mattresses were very comfortable and we slept great. The full kitchen had everything we needed including utensils, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and more.

There was plenty of supplies like cleaning chemicals, paper towels and toilet paper. 

Sliding back doors on the two bedrooms open to a nice covered patio area. The pool is easily accessed from this patio and is very close, but not too close, so again noise is not an issue. 

This unit is just blocks away from S Congress Ave. You could walk downtown or to see the Bats fly. The river walk is right behind the complex and is beautiful. If you don't have a car though, there is no grocery shopping within walking distance. Uber and Lyft are readily available though. 

The hosts answered our text almost immediately. They were very polite and responsive to our questions. 

If your staying in Austin this is a great place and we highly recommend it."
4411468,51612748,2015-10-22,40004561,Gerard,"Debora's apartment exactly matched the description and photos. It was an easy walk to South Congress and Downtown. Check-in and out process were a breeze, Debora even messaged to make sure we arrived ok even though she was out of the country. Would definitely stay here again if ever back in Austin. "
4411468,52203962,2015-10-27,6346467,Leonardo,The location of the apartment is very close to downtown and by the river with a nice walk board.Apartment has everything you need and is in good order.Smooth check in and out.We will be back next year.
4411468,52477743,2015-10-30,2848637,Natacha,"Debora's apartment is exactly as shown. It has great character, was very clean, and it was nice to have 2 parking spots available. She added additional items which were very appreciated, such as a stack of magazines (including some about Austin) and laundry detergent. The apartment is a nice walk from downtown and situated right next to the river. It was easy to contact Debora in the time leading up to our stay. Overall, this is a nice option if you're visiting Austin with more than 2 people."
4411468,52962327,2015-11-03,22287436,Matt,"I had a very enjoyable experience at Debora's apartment. It was clean, very comfortable and convenient for trips in the area. I would recommend to anyone and stay there again."
5590835,28155824,2015-03-18,3905733,River,"What a fun experience! This camper is so adorable, it made me rethink my life of possessions and want to live inside of it full time forever! The bed was comfy and cozy, the best place to rest your head after a day of adventure! The location of the camper is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood that's close to many restaurants and cafes. Joel is a sweet host- super kind, affable, and easy going. There's also a fire pit, that we didn't use, but holds the promise of a relaxing evening around the fire before retiring into The Little Pineapple. Thanks Joel! We hope to see you again!!! "
5590835,28824921,2015-03-30,9662624,Jonathan,"Really fun, off-the-beaten-path spot. Exactly as vintage and funky as pictured. Also totally clean and well-equipped with towels, cooking supplies, shampoo. The yard is great and relaxing---try being there on Sunday morning to hear the music drift over from the next-door church. Pretty cool experience in this quaint, historically black part of Austin. Joel was totally responsive to my messages and needs while I was there for about 36 hours."
5590835,29885608,2015-04-13,3055097,Ali + Dave,"Adorable trailer in a great location! Staying here felt like glorified camping with the nice breeze and nightly animal sounds (which we enjoyed!) Joel has a great setup with this trailer and there's a great use of space. Note that the bathroom is tiny, though we got used to it quickly. The neighborhood is really sweet and there's a lot in walking distance. "
5590835,30254137,2015-04-19,17379521,Henry,"Joel was a great host. Very hospitable, and keeps a clean place. The location was great for us, right near lots of great food up on Manor. We had a small issue with the water, but Joel was quick to help us out."
5590835,30719257,2015-04-26,12847994,Emilie,"My boyfriend and I stayed in the RV for 7 nights. We are both 6 ft, 200lb people. Now please keep that in mind for this review. The RV is awesome! Super silly, great storage, well laid out. Joel, was amazing. Fast to respond, helpful, kind, an overall awesome person. We loved the fire pit, the BBQ and the location. Lots of quirky restaurants and so close to downtown. He gave us our space but we always knew he was there if we needed him. When I first looked at the RV I asked Joel about the shower due to our size restrictions lol He replied saying he is 6'2 and he had used it with no issue. Bam ,booked the RV! A couple days before we were going to be in Austin he sent me a message about the bathroom. The shower points over the toilet, as in you shower over the toilet.  We had to get creative in order to use the bathroom without having the door open. For a couple of nights it would of been no biggie but 7 nights was bit harsh. We cooked a lot at the RV and it had everything we needed. The fridge held plenty, we grilled 3 or 4 times. The bed was plenty long and very firm. I'm a side sleeper and I had to bust out some yoga every morning to realign my spine. We would definitely stay again but for no longer than 2 nights. All in all it was an awesome adventure. We made it work and Joel was freaking awesome! Everything you would want in an AirBnB host. "
5590835,31110484,2015-05-02,27033286,Angela,"Joel was incredibly accommodating, hospitable, and attentive. Prior to our visit he answered every question we had so we felt very prepared for our stay.

The camper was clean and perfect for what we wanted during our trip. Joel provided us with water, milk, coffee, cereal, etc. He also provided us with a list of recommended restaurants and cafes which we took full advantage of! Very comfortable and unique! Loved staying here. The area is within walking distance to many cool places. We loved it! Couldn't ask for a better host or space!"
5590835,33319870,2015-05-26,9548282,Terry & Kat,We spent 3 nights staying with Joel and we forms the room to be warm and comfortable. Joel gave us our privacy as well as some good recommendation for places to eat and see live music in Austin 
5590835,33480552,2015-05-28,33986439,Joseph,Joel was awesome and the place was great. Most importantly my sister was happy and she didn't kill me for putting us in an Air Stream. It was a fun and novel experience for a quick night in Austin. 
5590835,36031973,2015-06-24,983255,Kelly,"Everything was perfect.  What a wonderfully romantic little trailer.  I'm a tall girl, six foot, and was very comfortable in there.  The location was perfect.  Joel was a great host.  Would recommend to anyone.  "
5590835,36464293,2015-06-28,19630971,Aurore,"This camper is really nice! We were three, staying there for three nights, and we were not cramped at all. The area is really quiet. Everything was clean and ready to properly welcome us, with supplies , advice, and also AC. Joel is really nice too. Welcoming, discreet but easily attained, and helpful. 
You should try!"
5590835,37277458,2015-07-05,37445810,Evan,The host canceled this reservation 96 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
5590835,41167462,2015-08-04,37609920,Simon,"Joel's RV is pretty cool. I would definitely recommend it. What you have to know is that it might get a little tight, if there's more than two of you staying there. That shouldn't come as a surprise, though. It's a 70's RV. Long story, short: cool RV, cool backyard!"
5590835,42051670,2015-08-10,7026456,Jo,"Cute camper, nice hosts. Thanks for having us! "
5590835,44234380,2015-08-24,29870964,Margy,"We loved our stay in the trailer! Joel was incredibly friendly and easy to communicate with. The location was incredibly convenient, super close to downtown and even closer to a bunch of fun places on Manor. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Austin!"
5590835,45230182,2015-08-31,2149636,Wesley,"Cool, unique little place in East Austin. Up and coming neighborhood. It's a little small and not 'fancy' by any means, but if you are picking a trailer to stay in, you're not looking for a luxury stay.  For a unique, semi-'roughing it' place it's ideal and you should check it out!"
5590835,46223018,2015-09-08,42925013,Miguel,"I'll warned you in advance. This isn't the place to rent if you want a luxurious stay. With that being said; everyone should experience living in a RV at least once. 

The place was small but cozy. Everything was already set up nice and neat. I can't stress enough how awesome it is having an AC in the RV. So points for Joel, on the add on. The wifi was very helpful. Though they had no tv inside the RV I had came prepared and brought a tablet, which helped out a lot on my downtown. Catching up on some shows. 

Joel, does respect your privacy so much so that I didn't even get to meet the guy. Lol not sure if that's a good thing or bad for future guest. But know that you will have your privacy. 

Bathroom. Very small. But it serves it purpose. In and out. 

In general, I have to say I enjoyed my experience very much so. My girlfriend did as well. If you can get over living the luxury life when on vacation; this is the rental for you. 

"
5590835,47807128,2015-09-21,6904824,Elizabeth,"My 9 month old daughter and I stayed in the trailer for three nights and had a good experience. It was very convenient to downtown and I felt very safe in the neighborhood. I never met Joel in person but he was easily accessible by phone. Someone in another review of this camper described their experience as ""semi-roughing"" it. I can't think of a better way to describe it. It does have a comfy bed and the all important AC and wifi but for me the roughing it part comes from the toilet/shower combo as in toilet is in the shower and you pretty much have to sit on it to shower. That being said the place was cozy and worked for us. If you are looking for a non-luxury get away that is close to downtown I would totally recommend the camper!"
5590835,49356760,2015-10-03,42944820,Vivian,"the place is great! it was really clean, and it's very well equipped, Joel has everything you could need there, from cooking pan to sunscreen for your skin ;) besides there's a bus stop right in the corner, about a minute walk will get you there. Even  thought the stop is really close, buses take too long to pass by, so i think this place will work better for people with car, is really close to the UT, capitol and downtown."
5590835,49684741,2015-10-05,6655293,Colin,"To the extent you can roll out a red carpet for a yellow vintage camper, Joel did. Even stocked beer for me in the fridge! 

You've seen the photos here, so you're well aware this ain't the Ritz; that said, it's absolutely perfect for what it is, and a unique (and cozy) experience to boot ... was a great conversation piece over cocktails during my visit to Austin. If you're into the idea of it and on the fence at all, don't hesitate a moment, just take the leap and go for it. 

Plus it's easy walking distance (like 8 to 10 minutes) to Manor Road (which I didn't know anything about, but Joel rightly pointed me in that direction), which has a dozen great restaurants and bars ... I spent a few hours at Haymaker alone, watched some football and dove into things like pimiento cheese on country loaf, beer-battered and deep fried. And it's a super short taxi or Uber to downtown and all of that. 

Anyway, Joel's great. I met his wife as well, also very nice. They were making and turning down my bed for me when I returned back from a late dinner. 

Big thumbs up. And if this can be defined as ""Keeping Austin Weird,"" count me in!"
1080704,4241402,2013-04-21,5982564,Patrick,This was by far one of the best short term rental experiences we've had.  The owner was extremely responsive and the apartment was perfect.  We will definitely by trying to stay here again at the next available opportunity.
1080704,4261631,2013-04-22,5958792,Mike,"Great place!! Great Location, minutes away from the University of Texas and The State Capital.  

The condo was very clean and modern.
Next time I'm in town, I will be looking to stay here again."
1080704,4807680,2013-05-27,2654750,Jason,"I spent a month in this condo. It has all the creature comforts, modern, clean, and close to everything.  Located in the arts district, you have many options for restaurants, coffee shops etc., and only a 15 minute walk to downtown Austin's west 6th st.  Highly recommend.  The whole experience was easy and painless. "
1080704,4870391,2013-05-29,6562942,Carlos,"Kristen's place is Amazing!! Very clean, cute, and centrally located. Parking was easy, and the complex is gated. We felt very safe. Kristen was very attentive, and polite. We will definitely be staying at her place again!  "
1080704,4929019,2013-06-02,6512086,Lori,"Kristen was a great host because she always responded promptly to my emails and requests. She definitely takes care of her place and is easy to book with. 
The condo was great! Very clean, easy to get to, with convenient covered parking, and very affordable. It's perfect for 2 people, but we made 3 work with one on the couch. Would definitely consider staying there again next time I'm in Austin. "
1080704,4957280,2013-06-03,6644238,Grace,"Perfect Prime location!  Very nice and clean condo. Small, private and quiet complex / neighborhood. Safe gated parking. Kristen was very helpful and prompt with emails, and texts. Highly recommend condo and location. We already booked condo for August. "
1080704,5729863,2013-07-14,2610661,Michelle,"Kristen's condo was absolutely perfect!  I stayed here for a little over a month to attend a summer intensive class at UT, and the location was perfect.  So close to everything!  2 minute drive to downtown, 10 minute walk to campus!  Comfy bed, large walk in closet, lots of counter space, and all the necessities needed for a weekend getaway or a long term rental!!  Super close to downtown, but located in a nice tree shaded QUIET area!!  Convenient parking underneath the building too, and nice front load washers/dryers in the laundry room a few doors over from the unit!!  Kristen was also a great host, and great with communication (usually instant responses to any questions I had).  I recommend her and her units to anyone needing a place to stay in Austin, and will not hesitate to stay here again!  Thanks Kristen!!!"
1080704,5777072,2013-07-15,4205789,Tessa,"Great location and space.  Walkable to lots of shops, bars, and restaurants.  The place was very clean and comfortable.  

"
1080704,6083513,2013-07-29,1870850,Matt,"Unfortunately I did not get to stay at Kristen's apartment due to a mix-up, but she booked us at a very nice hotel downtown very quickly. It was a pleasure dealing with Kristen,with prompt and clear communication both before and during our stay in Austin."
1080704,6237373,2013-08-05,6096008,Cj,"Condo was clean and just as advertised. Located in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown, this is a place that is not only convenient but ideal for a relaxing get a way. Owner was very helpful with directions & even provided a complimentary gift of snacks & wine. I highly recommend! "
1080704,6531823,2013-08-16,6644238,Grace,"Our 2nd stay at Kristen's place, Perfect location, good experience
"
1080704,7326961,2013-09-16,7310577,Dan,"Fantastic experience! I was heading to Austin on a 2 month project for work and needed a place to stay in a short notice. Tired of the hotel scene, I wanted to try something different. At first I was a little skeptical but after my conversation with Kristen I felt at ease and decided to go with her condo. VERY Glad I did! The condo was very nice and located in a good area and quiet location. Beats and hotel any day of the week if you ask me. She also came by once a week to clean up and change the bedding/towels. (She also folded my clothes that were in my laundry basket...how cool)
I would definitely recommend Kristens place anytime you stay in Austin! Thanks again Kristen!!!"
1080704,7451410,2013-09-20,1719598,Theresa,Kristen was so flexible and quick to respond.  She made my trip to Austin easy and carefree and I am grateful for that. The unit was just as the pictures showed and it was very clean and comfortable.  Nothing like staying in a 'home' away from home.  Thank you Kristen!
1080704,7505817,2013-09-23,4135302,Lauren,The apartment was exactly what I needed for my quick exploration of Austin. Kristen was quick in communication and the transaction was effortless from beginning to end. The apartment was clean and the wireless internet worked great. Thank you Kristen! 
1080704,7637930,2013-09-27,9038623,Wiebe,"Perfect place to stay for both pleasure and business in Austin. A spacious and clean place, with everything you need within close distance. I would definitely stay here in again! "
1080704,7711004,2013-09-30,1120648,Sean,"A great stay. Kirsten's place was exactly as described, with excellent communication before booking, after booking, and during the stay. The place was easy and convenient to find, and Kristen had stocked the place with snacks, water, and local beer, which was a great welcome after a long day of travel."
1080704,7782597,2013-10-02,8997066,Justin,Kristen's place was very nice and spacious. Very clean and quiet with easy and free parking. Was centrally located and very easy to get to downtown 6th street and s Congress. We ended up driving around for convenience since it was a weekday but I imagine you could walk to 6th st or take a very short can ride. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend staying at Kristen's condo. 
1080704,7843726,2013-10-05,8856431,Jarron,Great stay for the price and location. Would recommend!
1080704,7854068,2013-10-06,1792317,Juliana,"I had a really nice stay at this condo. It is very clean and modern with great space. The host was pleasant to communicate with and very accommodating. She even let me check in early for a much needed nap before the wedding. I would stay again for sure!
"
1080704,7936488,2013-10-08,6562942,Carlos,"This was our second stay at Kristen's place! It was is amazing. My wife and I were visiting for ACL, and this was the perfect place to come home to after the craziness of an all day Festival. This is now our ""go to"" place to stay while visiting Austin.  Great price, great location, and great host! You can't beat it! "
1080704,7998101,2013-10-12,7529081,Angela,"Our first attempt at using Air BnB was a success thanks to Kristi and her prompt communication ... the condo was clean and in a great location, just a couple blocks away from UT and short driving distance from everything we wanted to experience in Austin. My boyfriend and I had a great trip and we'd look to see if the condo is available next time we're in ATX! "
1080704,8177305,2013-10-19,266360,Dan,"This is a great apartment close to downtown and UT. The unit itself is very clean and simple with all the space and amenities that I needed for my 3 day stay. It was so close to everything in fact that I ended up not renting a car and either walking around or taking the bus--for example when I went to down to South Congress. Kristen even immediately responded when I asked if she had a iron, and brought one over the next day. I will definitely stay here again if it is available on my next trip. "
1080704,8343371,2013-10-26,4895353,Tanner,"We made a last minute decision to stay in Austin and Kristen was very quick to respond. Her apartment was very clean and was in a great location. It took only a couple of minutes to walk to a bus stop, and from there it did not take long at all to get to 6th st. We will definitely be looking into staying at her apartment again next time!"
1080704,8425801,2013-10-30,7580519,Louis,"My wife love it, great place and location. Fantastic
Will come back again for sure soon.
Great host, always attending to our needs
We have a total of 4 airbnbs in this trip, this came out tops! 
5 stars *****
"
1080704,8504214,2013-11-03,2886014,Julie,"Kristen's condo was perfect. It was very comfortable. The location was great as well. It would have been an easy bike ride or a longer walk to the central downtown area. We had a rental car, so having the garage below the condo was really nice. Kristen was also very responsive to any questions we had during out stay. Highly recommend this place."
1080704,8596692,2013-11-07,1199356,Katherine,"This was a great place to stay when I attended a conference on the UT campus. Short walk to the campus, safe neighborhood. The condo was very comfortable. I appreciated that there was coffee and some drinks and food available, although the kitchen is probably not well stocked enough (pots & pans, tools, etc) allow you to cook a meal. "
1080704,8653059,2013-11-11,8479488,Amy,"The location can't be beat. Its close enough to West 6th and downtown to be fun, but remote enough to be quiet. I've always loved this neighborhood. Its an easy walk to campus, downtown, and SoCo (SoCo is about 2 miles, but its flat and there's lots to look at as you go, so its really nice). If you're taking the bus to/from the airport, its about a mile or so to the stop.

Everything was clean and Kristen was really a phenomenal host. She let us check in early and leave late, which we appreciated. Overall, great experience!"
1080704,8779519,2013-11-18,8052908,Ferris,Kristen was a nice host for my first AirBnB experience. She communicated with me before the trip and made sure I knew what to expect. Her condo was in nice condition and as she advertisted. She even came by with some extra drinks for the fridge for us during our visit. The condo is well located - we were able to walk to both a UT game and to downtown without any problems. 
1080704,8812807,2013-11-19,8385807,Krishnan,"I had a great stay in Austin at Kristen's place. It was as advertised, with plenty of space, clean, and quite convenient to downtown Austin. She was helpful as well in giving me tips on Austin and helping me get a cab for the airport. I would highly recommend her listing and would stay there again."
1080704,8898021,2013-11-25,3826937,Evan,"Wow. Where to start? This was our first AirBnB experience, so my girlfriend and I now have some incredibly high standards thanks to Kristen. The condo was in a great location, close to campus, close to the bus, close to the Capitol building, and for the price it couldn't be passed up. Booking it was no hassle and luckily we got in on a weekend without Longhorns football goers to contend with. This is all before we got there. 

With a week to go, we had the customary checkin, and Kristen pointed out that it would be a bit chilly and we should prepare. Little did we know that it was almost historically cold, as we ""escaped"" a dark and stormy San Francisco week into a frigid 38° weekend in Austin. Kristen was apologetic the whole time, and kept telling us about how we have to come back when it's hot and how it's totally different, but we still had a great time. 

The condo was warm and she stocked it with a pound of coffee, which we made a pretty big dent in considering the weather. Everything was neat and cozy and was perfect for a short weekend. 

But the best was still coming. When the end of the weekend came, our flights were a little off and we were there past the regular checkout time. Luckily for us there weren't any people checking in on Sunday or Monday so she said it was OK to stay, and then as we're packing up, she shows up to straighten things up and without any hesitation offers us a ride to the airport. We wholeheartedly appreciated the gesture and the ride over was like one last tour of Austin. By the end of it I was ready to plan our next trip right then and there!

Long story short, Kristen made us feel so at home after three days of bad weather in a vibrant town and I feel like I'm obligated to take her up on her offer to come back when it's warm. If it works out hopefully we can stay with her again!"
1080704,8951868,2013-11-27,1099519,Joseph,Stayed an extra night after a company retreat for Pebble Technology. Kristen's pad was wonderful and I would totally stay again whenever my travels find me in Austin.
1080704,9031422,2013-12-02,3663778,Carolyn,My boyfriend and I stayed at this condo and loved it! Very clean and modern with a nice-sized bathroom and kitchen. Perfect for 1-2 people. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to the Capitol and a 15-20 minute walk from the fun parts of 6th St. I highly recommend this place! 
1080704,9082506,2013-12-05,9673383,Jim,Very nice place and very close to everything we wanted to see in Austin. I recommend this condo if your staying for business or pleasure.
1080704,9143202,2013-12-09,10182624,Jason,Cozy place in a convenient location. Kristi was a great host. The fridge was full of drinks and the bathroom was stocked with toiletries. I would definitely recommend using one of her condos if you're planning a trip to Austin. 
1080704,9324289,2013-12-21,10545847,John,Convenient location.  Well kept apartment.  Couldn't ask for more!   
1080704,9601924,2014-01-03,10180620,Hannah,"Kristen, made checking in and out so easy! The apartment is spotless and perfect for any length of stay in Austin. We literally had everything we needed for a long weekend. She left us coffee, sodas, a few beers and all the necessities. 

We're planning on coming back to Austin for SXSW and will be trying to stay with Kristen!"
1080704,9843086,2014-01-13,8790840,Jeff,Great all around. Location was fantastic. Host was accommodating and the process was super simple. Will definitely stay here again next time in Austin. 
1080704,9907409,2014-01-18,11200051,Jen,"Places just as described, very clean.  On a quiet street in a great location to see downtown Austin.  I booked the place last minute, and Kristen was able to get it ready for me not only on time, but early.  Great experience and would definitely recommend."
1080704,9930979,2014-01-20,4224077,Perihan,"Kristen was very responsive. The apartment was clean and tidy, and had everything I needed. The location is also great. "
1080704,10036775,2014-01-27,6788463,Matt,"Kristen, as always, it was a pleasure.  Great space, great location, great host.  My go-to for Austin!"
1080704,10076059,2014-01-28,3805383,Rachel,"We had a great time at this apartment! It was a very last minute booking (we decided we needed to stay in Austin another night) and we were so quickly and hospitably accommodated! Great location to downtown Austin, easy parking, lovely apartment. Highly recommended! "
1080704,10146745,2014-02-03,6170198,Stella,"Awesome place. Lots of space for two. Very clean and comfortable.

Central location, perfect if you also want to check out the campus. We did a tone of walking so bring comfortable shoes. Cabs are not the easiest to find. 
"
1080704,10231243,2014-02-08,11108750,Michael,"Kristen was super helpful and her place is clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Highly recommended!"
1080704,10276085,2014-02-10,6289927,Philana,"Kristen is a very good host. She is is easy to contact and helpful.
The condo is is a great location...walking distance to many venues. It is located in a nice quiet area. We try to stay in this condo unit when we go to Austin. The kitchen is minimally equipped so if you want to cook bring supplies.    "
1080704,10328552,2014-02-13,11977200,Sean,Definitely would stay here again. Great location. Easy to contact. Great space.
1080704,10506121,2014-02-22,7483986,Briana,"We made a very last minute reservation with Kristen, and she was more than accommodating to my boyfriend and I! Her place was very neat, perfect for a couple, and in a very ideal place if one wants to get to know Austin. I would recommend Kristen's place to anyone, and if we are ever to visit Austin again, we would definitely stay here! Thanks so much!"
1080704,10569451,2014-02-25,9450842,Katie,"Kristen's downtown condo was great for my boyfriend and my weekend trip to Austin. You couldn't ask for a better location where there is a lot within walking distance. The apartment itself was clean when we arrived and pretty spacious. Some coffee, booze, and snacks were left in the kitchen and a couple of toiletries in the bathroom as well. Just a heads up, the cable provided is just basic and not much more than ABC, NBC, etc. are available. Kristen was extremely prompt with communication and gave clear instructions for our stay. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend staying at Kristen's place!"
1080704,10595631,2014-02-26,1863456,Nicholas,"Nice, clean, simple apartment.  Had everything I needed. I was able to use the bicycle share nearby on 17th and Guadalupe to tour downtown Austin and the university nearby."
1080704,10642980,2014-03-01,11372633,Nicki,"The condo was perfect for our visit! It was exceptionally clean, nicely decorated. There were even some amenities! It is in a great location within an easy and nice walk to everything downtown.  We saw a show at ACL Live and it was just a short 15 minute walk with plenty of bars, restaurants and shops on the way. We love visiting Austin and would love to stay in Kristen's condo again. Thanks for a great stay!"
1080704,10678234,2014-03-03,838858,Maika,"Kristen's place is in a great location in downtown Austin.  We were able to find it and get inside the apartment easily. The area was quiet but very central.  The apartment was clean and had everything we needed (plus a few extras) for our weekend stay.  The coffee provided in the apartment was nice too, although we headed over to ""The Underground"" just a few blocks away for delicious coffee and breakfast.  "
1080704,10735542,2014-03-04,6359534,Catherine,"Awesome, clean condo in a great location! Highly recommend. "

1080704,11045846,2014-03-18,3106913,Tim,Kristen was an excellent host and made our stay very comfortable. We didn't have a chance to meet but she was very accommodating and her condo is terrific.
1080704,11219245,2014-03-25,12059076,Adam,"There are too many excellent things to say about the accommodations provided by Kristen.  If you like exploring by foot, this is the place to stay in downtown Austin.  If you walk a mile in either direction you will find yourself at the steps of the Capital, dodging students on the UT campus, or grabbing a fresh pastry from Houndstooth downtown.  If you'd rather pedal around there is a Bcycle station two blocks away.  Kristen's condo was aces!!  After a long day hiking around the bed was both welcome and comfortable.  If you're looking to save some cash and want to dine in you have a fully stocked kitchen at your disposal.  We were in town for a wedding so we were very happy to see that there was an iron in house, as well as laundry in the complex.  I've already told many of my friends that have Austin on their short list for travel to contact Kristen for a gold medal stay.  Thanks Kristen!!!"

1080704,11598464,2014-04-08,5588484,Nick,"Staying at Kristen's Condo was great a great experience!  Kristen was a good communicator and accommodated all of our needs.  Her place was very clean and in a good location, and perfect for our staying while we were in town for a wedding.  Pro-tip: two blocks south was a great food truck called the Jalopy.  Two blocks north was an cookie ice cream sandwich place open until midnight! "
1080704,11796149,2014-04-15,12307263,Paul,"The accommodation was perfect for what we needed.  Great facilities, and super easy check in/out.  Would definitely recommend Kristen as a host. "
1080704,11956863,2014-04-20,12401832,Maria,Our stay was awesome. The condo was extremely clean and had everything we needed. Kristen was so helpful and attentive. Very quick responses and she had some great recommendations-she made herself very available. Hope to stay at one of her places again soon :)
1080704,12040093,2014-04-21,14454844,Justin,The condo was exactly as advertised and we had a very nice stay.  Would definitely stay there again.
1080704,12269765,2014-04-28,7207957,Alicia,"What a great place to stay!  Kristen was a great host and the place was in the perfect location, just right downtown and close to everything, including public transportation.  She even left us a little care package for our stay.. which was definitely appreciated!  I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Austin and stay in the downtown area.  Great place!  Thanks Kristen!"
1080704,12357124,2014-04-29,14380508,Jeremy,"Kristen was timely and gracious with her email communication. The location of the apartment makes walking or biking to many popular spots very easy. If you are driving, there is a dedicated parking spot under the building, so there is no need to search for street parking. The apartment, located in a building with a quaint courtyard, was clean and quite nice. If you will be in Austin, I recommend staying at Kristen's place."
1080704,12992840,2014-05-16,207169,Matteo,Nice and easy stay
1080704,13025474,2014-05-17,15538737,Joel,"Great place, great location !  Everything was as advertised "
1080704,13056147,2014-05-18,1311406,Daniel,Stayed here to attend a friend's graduation. Great spot located conveniently close to UT as well as a few minutes from downtown. Kristen was very accommodating and a great host for making sure we had everything we needed.
1080704,13116227,2014-05-19,15313309,Edgar,Nice experience. 
1080704,13471937,2014-05-28,8582126,Karyn,Great location. Nice looking apartment.
1080704,13527971,2014-05-29,997136,Karrieann,"It was great for me to be able to come in knowing that I would have a nice, private space where I could rest for a night after exploring Austin. The apartment is very conveniently located, and I was able to simply walk around and enjoy the sights of UT Austin, museums and the Capitol. I tried a few of the recommendations Kristen includes in her description and was not disappointed at all, especially the Dive Lounge and Arturo's. Kristen was always prompt in her response whenever I had a question. My only regret is that I had to leave so soon! Will definitely recommend and try to come back as soon as possible."
1080704,13862966,2014-06-06,16113787,Megan,"I'm recently graduated and traveling around the country solo. Decided to stop off in Austin, Texas for a couple days and stayed at Kristi's apartment. This was my first time using AirBNB and it won't be my last, best idea ever. Cool apartment and great location! For a single girl like myself, I was able to safely walk to and from and all over Austin. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the Austin area, Kristi was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating, allowing me to check in and out when I needed. Thanks y'all and stay weird Austin! "
1080704,13902914,2014-06-07,14009655,Margarita,"Nice apartment and great location! It was able to simply walk around and enjoy the Downtown. If you have a car, there is a parking spot under the building. Kristi was very friendly and helpful, and her recommendations about what to do and places where eat were great. I highly recommend staying here if you are in the Austin area."
1080704,14060474,2014-06-10,16281155,Michael,Great location. Great price. Kristen is fantastic. Whole trip went off without a hitch!
1080704,14108683,2014-06-11,16536291,Chris,"The apartment is great, it is exactly as advertised and it's perfect for one or two people.  Kristen, herself, was very accommodating -- I was looking for a last minute reservation and she immediately accepted my request and actually got me into the space early so I could get some work done.  The check-in process was clear and concise and easy to follow.  Overall, great experience.  Thanks again."
1080704,14194811,2014-06-14,4186206,Kelli,Austin is an awesome city and the condo was a great home base for us.  The free parking underneath the building was a great asset and having the bus stop within a couple blocks worked well for us.  The buses were easy to use taking us close to everything we wanted to see.  We enjoyed breakfast at Arturo's Café and later a beer at the Dog & Duck which are both within walking distance of the condo.  I would recommend Austin Bike Tours & Rentals if you like to bike.  The city has bikes that are less expensive to rent but these guys really know the city and gave us some great recommendations.  Check in at the condo was a breeze and Kristen responded very quickly to all correspondence.  We would definitely stay here again.  Thanks Kristen for a lovely stay!  
1080704,14527998,2014-06-21,16377964,LeeAnn,"Kristen is a great host - clearly wants her guests to be welcome and her place to be the ""go to place"" in downtown Austin.  She does a great job in providing community ideas, a well stocked condo and quick help when needed.  Her condo is conveniently located and provides a nice landing spot for travelers.  My husband, daughter and I felt safe, comfortable and well attended.  We'd stay here again."
1080704,14624886,2014-06-23,15505180,Felipe,"everything was good, good location, nice apartment."
1080704,14806803,2014-06-26,2401594,Jason,Kristi's place was great and she had everything I needed. Her condo is in a great location and easy access to most of the facilities downtown. She was also very responsive in answering my questions when I arrived in Austin.
1080704,14870593,2014-06-28,16021837,Lindsay,"Great place! Clean, convenient - it lived up to the previous reviews. Loved the parking and free wifi. Be sure and check out the sleepy pub a couple of blocks away - the Dog and Duck Pub. Will certainly recommend this listing to friends!"
1080704,15234139,2014-07-05,4067842,Ashley,"This apartment was just what we wanted and needed in Austin: a comfortable, quiet place downtown to relax after long days exploring the city and surrounding areas. We'd definitely stay here again!"
1080704,15447084,2014-07-09,1197414,David,"This downtown Austin condo is the perfect home base to explore all of the great things that Austin has to offer. Situated in a quiet neighborhood, the studio style apartment is impeccably clean, comfortable, and has many of the basics that you may need while on the road.

 As a first time visitor to Austin, the apartment provided me the opportunity to live and experience the city like a local, but also provided me with easy access to popular spots in downtown and SoCo. It’s only a quick 15 minute walk to 6th street, and an easy bike or car trip to great restaurants in Hyde Park and East Austin. 

While I didn't meet Kristi, she was a wonderful host and was proactive in her communications. She was always quick to respond to any questions, and the check-in/out process was seamless. 

I highly recommend this location if you're looking for a quiet respite from the busy downtown and touristy areas of the city, but want easy access to nightlife and great food.  I would gladly stay in Kristi’s apartment again. 
"
1080704,15739938,2014-07-14,17970420,Taylor,"This was a perfect place to stay for a night out in Austin. The condo is clean, comfortable, and spacious. This is so much more appealing that a hotel room! Kristen was quick to respond and easy to deal with. We will definitely stay again and will recommend to friends and family!"
1080704,15854193,2014-07-16,16612723,Susanne,"Kristen was a terrific host - and a lifesaver, too! My daughter and our dogs were traveling across the country, and in Austin we needed some last-minute accommodations.  Within hours of contacting her, Kristen replied and checked us in - even though she was a little nervous about the dogs! Her accommodations are excellent - new, clean, great features - and super centrally located.
With all the nice amenities, including real kitchen, it's a perfect ""home"" in Austin. Kristen was not only great getting us in, but she was also happy to provide helpful hints about Austin.  We would love to go back to Austin - and Kristen's place."
1080704,15891174,2014-07-17,17890797,Tiffany,"Kristi was very helpful and provided concise instructions for check in procedures. Everything was super easy! The apartment was great! It was clean and well decorated. The neighborhood was great and extremely close to the UT campus, restaurants, and 6th Street attractions! We really enjoyed our stay!"
1080704,16360936,2014-07-26,17499226,Regan,"Great neighborhood. Within walking distance to UT, shopping, and excellent restaurants. Very well maintained complex and unit. "
1080704,16565571,2014-07-29,17336075,Michael,"Great location, host let us check in early which was appreciated.  "
1080704,16696905,2014-07-31,4930794,Alyssa,Katy was very accommodating and accepting of us. Thank you :)
1080704,17323154,2014-08-10,7653052,Catherine,"Kristen was very prompt in all our communications and left us very detailed instructions about how to park and access her place. Her place is very clean, with all the necessities -- I went on a hunt for bandaids and found that even her bathroom drawers were stocked in case you forget toiletries! Overall the apartment is spacious with a very comfy couch and it was great to have non-street parking. The location was also very convenient for food/exploring Austin/etc. "
1080704,17409066,2014-08-11,19473419,Emily,Kristen gave all the info upfront and it was very easy to check in and get into the room.
1080704,17983455,2014-08-19,8539340,Marie-Pierre,We loved staying at Kristen's condo; it matched the description on the listing. I liked the combination of the condo's urban style decoration and the Mediterranean style of the building. We really appreciated having the use of a parking spot underneath the building. The location was perfect for us; we wanted to be downtown to be close to restaurants and stores. There is an interesting restaurant on the same street called Ranch 616 that we really enjoyed. It was nice to walk there in the evening. I would rent this place again in a heartbeat.
1080704,18093843,2014-08-21,4931486,Sophie,"Kristen was a great host! She greeted us upon arrival and gave us clean towels from the start. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was perfect, even for driving purposes (easy to get on highways, parkways, major streets, etc.). In addition, Kristen was very accommodating and understanding to our situation and needs! I would book this place for the next time I visit Austin!"
1080704,18210030,2014-08-23,13000318,Caleb,The apartment was great. It was clean and seemed much bigger than it was. Close to campus and downtown. Two thumbs up!
1080704,18382878,2014-08-25,20329677,Richard,Kristen's place was very neat and more orderly than some hotels. We found everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay in Austin. 
1080704,18573207,2014-08-28,7625256,Steve,Kristi was very responsive and helpful. The apartment was clean and attractive and the location is great.  Very convenient to campus and the capitol area.  The building seems safe and well cared for - but be prepared to walk up two flights of stairs.  Only drawback is the bed wasn't real comfortable and it is hard to get into because it is tight against the walls. 
1080704,18577799,2014-08-28,2401594,Jason,Second time staying here and it was great as always! 
1080704,19270392,2014-09-09,7412652,Kelly,"We absolutely loved Kristen's Condo in Austin. The layout is great, place is very clean and location was awesome. The complex itself was nice, the parking garage underneath was ideal and the apartment was very quiet. I couldn't have been happier. I would highly recommend Kristin's condo. It helped create an awesome Austin experience. "
1080704,19411700,2014-09-12,4819815,Barbara & Mick,"Nice clean place good for a short stay in Austin.  Perfect location in between the U of Texas and Downtown. The A/C was a huge plus, in the Texas heat.  Cable TV is listed as an amenity but it was the most basic of cable only offering local TV and community access.   So if you want to catch the game on ESPN its not an option.   Other wise the place is great. "
1080704,19506045,2014-09-13,9878744,Sophia,"Kristin was quick to respond and very helpful with my situation. The place was exactly as pictured, and extremely clean. I would certainly stay here again when in Austin. "
1080704,19817728,2014-09-19,17077545,Michael,This condo is in a nice neighborhood near the university of Texas and walking distance to many restaurants.  Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!
1080704,20192841,2014-09-25,14946981,Nicola,"Kristi made our first experience with Airbnb very easy! She was really quick to respond to our questions, both before we arrived and once we were there (within 3o mins). The apartment had everything we needed, was clean, safe, and was easy to access and park. It was a little further from the ""Downtown"" Austin area, than we had thought, but we are avid walkers and we had rented a car, so it did not pose a huge challenge for us. The only issue we had was with the bed. We travelled as a couple, and one of us ended up on the couch by the second night it was so uncomfortable. We would definitely work with this host again."
1080704,20351891,2014-09-28,5538119,Christopher,Our stay at Kristen's place was perfect. Great location. Very nice and clean apartment with everything we needed. Easy check in without any hassle. Am overall great experience. Thank you!
1080704,20550440,2014-10-01,5608825,Pat,The place is a furnished studio apt/condo in a good location.  Never met the host but she was very responsive via text.  Would definitely stay again.
1080704,20678901,2014-10-03,19305097,Loren,"The neighborhood seemed nice . Close to the university as described.
Did not have time to sight see but looked like a nice area. We need a place for a few nights in between moving house. This was perfect. Good size too. 
We have a baby and were also given a pack n play which really helped a lot.
The place was clean and tidy too which was awesome. Will stay again if needed!"
1080704,20696811,2014-10-04,6726124,Amy,Kristen was great!!! Cute little place in a great location. We saw a show at Stubbs and chose this spot for convince. We are very pleased and will stay there again. It was clean and Kristen was helpful and friendly. Two thumbs up
1080704,20958786,2014-10-08,20470166,Lauren,I had a wonderful stay at Kristen's condo. Everything was exactly as described. I unfortunately got a stain on something and she was super responsive and kind about it. She even accommodated us staying later than the posted check out time. We wished we could have stayed another day. Thanks so much Kristen!! 
1080704,21196427,2014-10-13,17600557,Alison,"I really enjoyed my stay at this Austin Condo. Kristen was very friendly and helpful from the first inquiry, patiently answering a lot of questions from me not just about the apartment but the area in general, including tourist and safety information. She was very flexible about arrival time. From the condo it is an easy walk to the UT campus and downtown restaurants. The condo itself was spacious, comfortable and clean."
1080704,21480831,2014-10-18,21969380,Jeffrey,"Kristen's place is nice, much better than a hotel, with a small kitchen and a large living room.  But what makes her place great is the location, just a few blocks south and west of the university on a quiet street.  Like staying in a neighborhood with all the attractions of the university, the Drag, 6th street and more just around the corner."
1080704,22180374,2014-11-01,18803553,Rob,"Fantastic place in a great location. Exactly as described, the condo was clean and inviting. Easy check-in/check-out – in fact, never even met Kristen, but she was very responsive via emails. Loved that parking was right under the building. Would definitely try to stay here again when visiting Austin in the future. Highly recommended."
1080704,22279796,2014-11-02,5407667,Harvey,Very easy - checking in was at our leisure after 3p on the day the rental started. Thanks!
1080704,22297924,2014-11-03,20987638,Julee,"The condo was perfect for the one night I was in Austin.  I had asked Kristen for some brunch recommendations and she provided some options and even emailed me some additional later.  Easy location from downtown to Uber in under 10-15 minutes.  Very clean, quiet.  "
1080704,22489971,2014-11-08,21771277,Cynthia,"We had a wonderful time. Condo was very neat & clean. Great location & parking was a huge plus. Kristen was over & beyond expectations with recommendations of places to see & where to eat. LBJ Library gets A+. Tejas was a great deal. The condo is such a great location & has the extras. We'll definitely book again when we go back. Kristen is the 'hostess with the mostess' 
"
1080704,22685594,2014-11-11,4235313,Tess,"Really clean great apartment. Exactly as described, check in was really easy. Does have quite a lot of stairs so be mindful of you are traveling with a lot of stuff. "
1080704,22902324,2014-11-17,1472533,Brandon,"This was our first time using airbnb and Kristen made it so simple.  The check in and out instructions were very clear and the recommendations she provided about the neighborhood/city were helpful.  The condo was in a quiet area, but still very close to all the action. We were provided everything we needed and the place was very clean.  Highly recommend Kristen's condo!"
1080704,23026620,2014-11-20,7850830,Melike,"The apartment was great for enjoying beautiful Austin. It's clean, comfy, has a full kitchen if you'd like to cook. The neighbourhood is very nice, within walking distance to most sights downtown, and felt very safe. Also the parking below the building took away worrying about finding a parking spot. Kirsten had a very easy system for checking in and out, felt like staying at a friend's house!"
1080704,23203833,2014-11-25,20574014,Janet,"The apartment was as pictured.   Everything was clean. The information Krisren left was very helpful.   The only issue my husband and I had was with the bed.  The mattress was uncomfortable and placed in such a way that you had to crawl in and out of the bed.  We found this to be difficult.  However,  great location."
1080704,23697032,2014-12-08,1528218,Ashley Quyendzi,"The location was perfect as it was a close drive to everything. The first day I was there, I did not have a car and so I Lyft-ed everywhere which was easy and most rides were under $10 around downtown. The next few days, I had a rental car which made it a lot easier to get around. The location is also very close to a lot of major streets, but luckily the street itself was not busy. Kristen also had a designated parking space. 

The apartment itself was a cute, simple place with all the necessary amenities. Kristen was very easy and very responsive. She was accessible when needed. Sheets were clean, there were plenty of towels, and there was a drawer of little shampoo and conditioner samples.

I would definitely stay here again!"
1080704,23799620,2014-12-10,24318966,Will,"Great location, central to everything.  Even though it's right downtown, we had no problems with noise (disclaimer: we did bring our loud fan b/c we're used to sleeping with it).  
Best host we've ever had!  Easy communication of check-in/check-out and even willing to take time to give us some ideas of what to do in the city.  5 stars easy!"
1080704,23854632,2014-12-12,24585296,Kevan,"Kristin's place was great, very clean and in a great location. She was very accommodating and responsive if I had any questions. "
1080704,23964834,2014-12-15,13000318,Caleb,Another great trip to Austin!
1080704,24036389,2014-12-17,2957107,Jose,"Our stay at Kristen's place was perfect, very comfortable. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed. It was a great location and we had a nice parking spot. "
1080704,24127449,2014-12-20,24918116,Iffat,"The host made me feel comfortable. There were wonderful amenities in the kitchen, and beer in the fridge for the guest. The neighborhood was very nice as well. Walking distance from some of our favorite spots. I would recommend this host to anyone!!!"
1080704,24153638,2014-12-21,3515972,Marc,The condo was as described.  Check in and out was very simple.  Great location to downtown activities!
1080704,24345850,2014-12-26,7048266,Helen,"This was my first time using Airbnb, and I am more than satisfied with the experience, the apartment, and my host! I loved it. Kristen's place was in just about the best place I could've ask for, nestled right between downtown and the campus area. We walked very easily to great shopping, delicious food, and even to CVS for a few things I forgot - so easy. There were also some cool old buildings to look at around the area. 

The apartment itself was scrupulously clean. The kitchen was terrific. The bed was too. Water pressure good. Internet solid. It was a safe 'hood, but still it was very nice to be in a place with such snug security. The tiny complex itself is very nice, with a sitting area downstairs. 

Also Kristen left great packets of information for us that came in real handy. I used to live in Austin, but it's grown so much. It was really good to have some information on what was around the place, not just addresses but Kristen's actual feedback on what the places were like. 

Quiet neighborhood while I was there, but it was Christmas so maybe it was quieter than usual. Still, it is a really nice 'hood, as I said safe and pretty friendly (met a lot of people walking their dogs). 

Check in and check out was a breeze. 

I intend to stay here whenever the need and opportunity arises. "
1080704,24440937,2014-12-28,6708179,Thary,This is a good clean condo with convenient parking. Very clear instructions by host and convenient for check-in and out. 
1080704,24512589,2014-12-29,24559813,Joshua,"The unit was great, Kristen was very helpful to us, and the location was peaceful and within walking distance of many great things to see and do in Austin. We will definitely stay again. "
1080704,24645049,2015-01-01,6204210,Michelle,Everything was great. The place was exactly as described. Clean and loved the hand written tips of the area. Loved the stay. Thank you. 
1080704,25015948,2015-01-05,22902628,Ben,Nice apartment which was close to tons of things to do in Austin. Host was friendly and gave us recommendations for things to do.
1080704,25115412,2015-01-06,25331268,Eric,"Cozy apartment in a great location within Austin, Texas. Would recommend."
1080704,25469097,2015-01-17,24774149,Chris,"This place was awesome.  It's close to the UT Austin campus and worked great as a home-base for taking a class there.  It's in a great neighborhood, close to food, bars, and a cookie place that's open till midnight.  The furnishings are nice and cozy.  Kristi was always super-responsive and friendly.  "
1080704,25499700,2015-01-18,8905063,Alexa,"Kristen was such a wonderful host! Her place is the most perfect, adorable condo right on UT campus and minutes from downtown. I truly enjoyed my stay and plan on doing it again sometime soon."
1080704,25598002,2015-01-20,24365434,Caroline,"Kristen's place was perfect for our stay in Austin. Central to everything, and looks just like it does in the pictures. I'll probably try to stay there every time I visit Austin in the future."
1080704,25633751,2015-01-21,7353863,James,"(Sorry for the belated review!)

Really awesome apartment. 

Such a good location. It took me 15 minutes to walk down to 6th. 

Apartment is super comfy, clean...everything you need.

I don't know why you wouldn't want to choose this place if you visit Austin?!"
1080704,25673915,2015-01-22,26352101,Brandon,"Kristen is a great host, made us feel very welcome. Instructions were super informative and accurate. The apartment was exactly as described in the listing. Neighborhood is southwest of UT campus and very near pretty much everything you'd want to see in Austin, and walkable to UT and the Capitol. Apartment was spotless and comfortable. The only hiccup during our stay was that someone actually tried to get into the apartment after midnight! Apparently, the next Airbnb customer got his dates mixed up and thought he was staying there the same night as we were! Anyway, don't think this was Kristin's fault--she was great, investigated the situation and got back to us as soon as she heard about it--and don't think it'll happen to you, only mentioning it because it was a little scary at the time, and is probably something you wouldn't experience at a hotel or non-Airbnb vacation rental."
1080704,25697903,2015-01-23,2224042,Scott,"Great little spot to drop in for a couple nights and a solid location.  Very straightforward and easy directions from the host, and lots of cool stuff to peruse on the coffee table about things to check out in Austin.  For the price, this place is hard to beat."
1080704,25796098,2015-01-26,12157578,Katie,"Kristen made this trip so easy.  She was incredibly helpful with tips on how to get to and from the airport before we arrived, and her instructions on how to get into the condo when we arrived were perfect.  She was nice enough to leave a list of recommendations and fun things to do in the city.  The apartment was clean and was the perfect place for my friends and I to explore Austin.  There was one issue with the water while we were there, but Kristen was on it and it was resolved within the hour.  It was an easy walk to South Congress and 6th Street, which made it easy to explore the city.  I will definitely be recommending this condo to friends traveling to Austin. "
1080704,26007314,2015-02-01,3316142,Thomas,"Excellent place and location. Everything is well organised and the host is very efficient.  The place is perfectly located if you don't have a car, near Guadalupe and Congress av.  Probably in summer is very hot, but there is A/C. (and is TX). The apartment is exactly as the pictures.
I would absolutely come back."
1080704,26091401,2015-02-02,6238007,Alexandre,"Communication was good, check-in was simple. The flat was clean and tidy. Everything as described.
The bed is a little noisy, and the shower curtain could be changed, but this is minor details and it was a great stay !"
1080704,26122913,2015-02-03,5390368,Mike,"The listing was accurate, and the place was terrific.  Well-located near restaurants and stores, plus proximate to UT.  There was even a leftover beer in the fridge!  Would stay here again if in Austin."

1080704,26671071,2015-02-17,11944133,Annie,"We enjoyed our short, one night stay at Kristen's condo. The location was convenient and quiet. Listing was as pictured, clean, the bed was in a cozy lil nook off of the living room. It's on the second floor of the complex. She was easy to correspond with prior to arrival. Overall, no issues whatsoever on our end. "
1080704,26780046,2015-02-19,17863847,New,The apartment was just as described and was perfect for few nights stay in Austin. Kristen was very responsive to our needs. Overall the stay was great and I would recommend it!
1080704,27026880,2015-02-23,10368595,Erwin,"The Downtown Austin Condo was Great! The apartment is clean, nicely decorate and has everything you need.  The Capitol, The university campus and downtown are all within walking distance, but the direct surroundings are calm and friendly. All communications with Kristen goes quick and efficient. Definitely a perfect place when you want to explore downtown Austin!"
1080704,27127050,2015-02-26,25761901,Jennifer,"Kristen made my first Airbnb visit a breeze. Though I never met her in person, she was super responsive, and flexible when I needed to check out a little later. The apartment was cute and clean, had all the amenities I needed (hair dryer, shampoo/conditioner, tea/sugar, kitchen utensils, internet), and was within walking distance of the AT&T Conference Center/UT Austin. I could nitpick at details, but I'll refrain since overall this place was less expensive but nicer than many hotels I've been to.  If I ever come back to the area, I'd love to stay at Kristen's place again!"
1080704,27174603,2015-02-27,27037786,Candy,Our first experience with airbnb. Things could not have gone any better. Location was easy for our needs and directions and info were perfect.  We had flight trouble getting into town and Kristen did a great job keeping in contact with us.
1080704,27323203,2015-03-02,15234554,Katy,"Kristen's condo was perfect for our needs. The location is great and is within walking distance of the Capitol and several restaurants. The neighborhood is quiet, the space is clean, and our dog was welcome. Kristen was responsive to all of our questions and did everything she could to make us feel at home for the night."
1080704,27386608,2015-03-03,25012963,Jeannie,The condo is perfectly located to UT and not far from downtown.  It is extremely comfortable and well appointed. It is so much more convenient than a hotel and saves money! My daughter alerted me to the convenience of this and we both agree it is a great option 
1080704,27483808,2015-03-05,15104307,Paul,Awesome location & great house. Fantastic experience in Austin.
1080704,27528304,2015-03-07,10665967,New,"I found my stay at Downtown Austin Condo both relaxing and accommodating. The services were outstanding, easy access to downtown and the surrounding area. I didn't get to explore much due to the weather and conference schedule but from what I did see I would def comeback and highly recommend Kristen's place. She kept me informed, the place was spotless and very comfortable."
1080704,27713712,2015-03-10,21208702,Rob,Great apt and great location. Thanks for making our trip so much fun.
1080704,28708801,2015-03-29,360486,Jeff,Kristen was an excellent host and I absolutely recommend staying here. Plenty of space for a studio and was stocked with thoughtful drinks/snacks which made it feel far superior to any random hotel. Would totally come back!
1080704,28980529,2015-04-02,8086232,Louis,Great place. Great Location. Plumber had to come once to fix a leak but it was not too disruptive.
1080704,29070912,2015-04-03,18386761,Brittani,My friend and I only stayed one night. We were quick in and out. It was great for our type of trip. Very homey and in the perfect area. Would definitely book again.
1080704,29174522,2015-04-05,13507559,Shelby,This was my first visit to Austin and Kristen's place was great! She made it very easy to check-in and even provided an Austin 'cheat-sheet' with restaurant recommendations and places to see. The apartment was very clean and surprisingly spacious! It is an easy 20-min walk to 6th street. Good neighborhood. Highly recommend! 
1080704,29546582,2015-04-09,8976168,Diane,"Great location and beautiful condo.  Kristen had great recommendations on where to eat.  Austin was easy to get around whether you were biking, walking, or taking public transportation.  Kristin added special homey touches to make this stay comfortable."

1080704,30146776,2015-04-18,20914009,Lorrie,The taxi dropped us off curbside and we had misunderstood what the gate code was. Thankfully Kristen answered my call and gave us the code and we were able to get in. The condo is up three flights of stairs so it was a bit much due to the abnormal amount of luggage we had. The neighborhood is a quiet one and the bed was supper comfy. The condo was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with coffee which I appreciated first thing in the morning. We were able to catch the bus to S. Congress St just two or three blocks east of the condo. We love Austin and would definitely consider staying here again when we return.  
1080704,30289893,2015-04-20,27696124,Didi,Charming condo in great location! Kristen is a wonderful host. Detailed easy instructions on parking and checking in. Great recommendations on restaurants and sites. The condo is in a quiet neighborhood and a perfect location to U.T. campus and downtown Austin. Condo was clean and comfortable. Appreciate the refreshments in refrigerator upon arrival. Will definitely book a stay here again. 
1080704,30438502,2015-04-22,24463239,Damon,"Clean, comfortable & quiet. Check-in could not get any easier. On site parking with a gated entrance. Apartment was clean, well appointed, super quiet and a perfect respite from a busy day of conferencing. Just a couple blocks from UT & their new conference center. "
1080704,30753698,2015-04-27,5006408,Denka,"Place was great. Just as it appears on the pictures. It was three of us and it was big enough and comfortable. Check in and out was so easy.  No hassle, no need to meet. Key was easy to find and Kristen's instructions were great. Location is AMAZING! Everything was so close, coffee, food, bars. If u needed UBER to anywhere it was also no more than $5. Just perfect. Also, it had all amenities you could possibly need and if you forgot a toothbrush or shaving cream, there were some travel size things around the bathroom (imagine left over from other people) that would have come handy if needed. We came for a wedding and lots of the people were staying in nearby hotels for triple the price. So, needless to say next time I am visiting Austin I am going to try Kristen again! Thanks!"
1080704,31296882,2015-05-04,27481950,Carson,"Great place, quiet, clean and convenient!  Kristen was great about communication and even allowede to check in a little early.  Although I was there for a wedding and didn't have time to explore, I appreciated that Kristen had taken the time to write a short guide to the area with good restaurants/bars and some local's only knowledge.  Great place, will stay there again when visiting Austin!  "
1080704,31559756,2015-05-06,281665,Shannon,Great little condo- really quite and nicely decorated.  Kristen communicated with us throughout the process and made everything easy.  Would Stay here again.

I would stay here again. "
1080704,32618282,2015-05-19,18062559,Kati,"This listing is perfect! The space is very clean, well stocked with toiletries and a hair dryer, and there was coffee and even a few beers in the fridge for us. I slept very soundly and the bed is very cozy tucked into the little sleeping nook. The condo is close to everything and parking and check in is easy. Kristen was very attentive to any questions or needs that arose throughout my stay, and I was so glad! There's even a little seating area that looks east and is perfect for morning coffee time. Five star Superhost! And a five star listing! I loved my experience here! "
1080704,32848817,2015-05-22,4836219,Chad,Nice little place near campus. Was really easy to access and everything was taken care of before my arrival.
1080704,33372011,2015-05-27,30867023,Jessica,"The listing was exactly as it looked in person. It's in a great little neighborhood and I appreciated how quiet it. We had no problems getting into the condo with Kristen's detailed e-mails. The list of places to eat and do she wrote out was helpful. I would recommend her place to anyone looking for a quiet, little condo to stay. Thanks Kristen!"
1080704,33509776,2015-05-29,15945307,Aaron,Place was great!  Didn't ever have to contact Kristen while I was there because everything was covered before my arrival from her messages.  Easy walk to get breakfast on the way to UT campus!
1080704,33897021,2015-06-02,6047319,Jason And Sarah,Apartment was clean and in a nice area of town. Kristen was very responsive. Would definitely book again. 
1080704,34097375,2015-06-04,3881354,Rob,Nice place - convenient for my quick stay - host left all instructions and there was no hassle 
1080704,34330700,2015-06-07,2845391,Chris & Blake,"Kristen's place is awesome! Very centrally located and clean. Coming from a cooler climate, I was really glad that the air conditioning worked so well. I'd stay again and would recommend to friends. "
1080704,34652734,2015-06-10,26300002,Robin,"Kristen was super responsive and easy to communicate with.  The condo was in a great, quiet location and walkable or a $5 UBER ride to anywhere we wanted to go.  The condo was very functional with everything we needed.  I would definitely stay again when in the area.  The guide was super helpful make sure you take a look!  

"
1080704,35657005,2015-06-21,31557647,Alberto,"Kristi is a great host that makes sure you have the Austin experience you are looking for by laying out detailed notes of all the things to do, varying by your level of interest. 

The house was spacious, clean, and not too far from all the main things to do. I'd definitely stay here again if I were to come back to Austin! "
1080704,35814122,2015-06-22,33461915,Alex,"Kristin is a gracious and professional host; the condo was exactly as it's described, and we enjoyed the clean and comfortable space.  The parking (underneath the building) is quite nice: we arrived just in time to stay dry from a thunderstorm.  The neighborhood is quiet and clean, and the condo is in very easy walking distance (under five minutes) to Arturo's, an excellent brunch spot.  We'd stay at Kristin's place again for sure. "
1080704,36070032,2015-06-24,36032145,Matthew,"This was my first experience using Air b n b and I can say that it was awesome. The whole thing from start to finish was very professional from my initial contact to ask questions, to the instructions for a smooth and easy check in. The accommodation is in a fantastic quiet location just minutes from downtown. We walked to/from downtown Austin a number of times. The accommodation was extremely comfortable and presented very well. I could not have got as good accommodation at a Hotel in as a great location as this without spending a small fortune. Highly recommended to all. "
1080704,36178221,2015-06-26,13546267,Paul,"Great host! Was in contact immediately and gave a few recommendations before I arrived. After arriving, I found a great place, clean and welcoming.  There was a handwritten guide to local hotspots that would provide something for everyone. WOULD USE AGAIN!! Loved this comfy cozy place. "
1080704,36711124,2015-06-30,35473193,Sandra,"We enjoyed our stay at Kristen's condo. The location was great for getting to the UT campus and the downtown area and the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. Parking was covered and off the street which was a plus.  The condo was just the right size for one or two people and was clean and neat with the exception of left over coffee grounds remaining in the coffee pot from a previous visitor. Not a huge issue. There was a maintenance problem with the air conditioner which meant we needed to be up and dressed a little earlier than we had planned to allow the AC repairman to come in. As it turned out, we were gone before he arrived. Otherwise, it did not affect our stay. Those things happen though and the timing is never good. It would have been nice to have scheduled it between our checkout time and the next person's check in time, but maybe that was not an option. Again, not a huge issue. We would stay there again. "
1080704,36896115,2015-07-02,639120,Jonathan & Coleen,"We enjoyed our time in Kristen's apartment. It is perfectly situated in a quiet, safe neighbourhood close to (short drive) the University of Texas, Texas State History Museum and Barton Springs.

The apartment is spacious, clean and has everything you need for a relaxed stay. The off street parking protected our car from the rain and was very secure.

We would definitely stay again! Thank you!

Jon and Coleen "

1080704,38445718,2015-07-15,25669164,Grace,The apartment was very clean and cozy. A very convinient location if you want to explore Austin. I had to call Kristen on day 1 to confirm something and she responds right away. The apartment had everything in it and I really liked how the host provided high quality toiletries and good coffee. The only thing to watch out for are the mosquitos hiding in the bushes near the front door. Remember the code to the door and dont linger around like i did. 
1080704,38616626,2015-07-17,34887259,Louise,"We loved our stay in Austin at Kristen's place. The living area and kitchen was spacious, clean and comfortable and we appreciated the suggested restaurants and areas to visit that Kristen left for us.
Kristen was always professional and prompt in replying to messages and answering our questions. We wish we could have stayed longer! "

1080704,39253740,2015-07-21,26083742,Billy,"Lovely, new apartment within walking distance to the Capitol and beyond.

Kristen is a great communicator -- check-in instructions were crystal clear and everything was easy. "
1080704,39358116,2015-07-22,4879293,Tonie,"Had a wonderful time. I felt at home with a kitchen and everything I could possibly need to cook a nice meal - although I was way to lazy to do that. Instead I got comfy with a really soft robe and the best little throw...
I also like that it was close to everything but not so close that it was loud. I would love to stay at your place again. Thank you for taking me with such short notice."
1080704,39565454,2015-07-24,18278612,Robbie,"Overal it was a nice place to stay with everything you would need, it's inbetween campus and downtown which is great for finding places to eat. "
1080704,39718163,2015-07-25,28429410,Lane,"Kristen was quick in responding to our request and our stay, while short, was fantastic. About a 15 minute walk to 6th street if you have long legs like me. Kristen had a nice write up on the coffee table of all the cool places to go to as well. Last but not least was the amazing bed! If I ever find one like it, I would buy it in a heartbeat!"

The condo was in a very quiet neighborhood and was only a 10 minute walk to campus and 15 minute walk to downtown.  

I would stay here again next time we're in Austin!  "

Since, I am new to Airbnb I haven't really had reviews, nor set up a full profile. Still, Kristen let us in to her place, and thanks to her I was able to enjoy a wonderful Austin getaway! Her place was so cozy, and she even left us some great recommendations, and maps to get around! All and all, it was a great first time experience!"

I'd definitely stay here again!"
1080704,50924701,2015-10-16,28814050,Ziva,"Lovely studio like experience. We enjoyed the sleeping arrangements as we felt like we were amongst the tree tops and were able to open the window.  Two flights of stairs with 'too heavy' luggage, the landings in between are excellent. Communication was very good.  Appreciate the fresh fruit and vegetables in the fridge, as well beer though we don't drink it.  "
1080704,51624908,2015-10-22,43974657,Syeira,"Kristen's condo was the ideal place to call home for my brief Austin getaway. Her check-in and neighborhood info was really helpful and the location was perfect for walking to campus and downtown. The bed was truly comfortable--I had an amazing nap the afternoon I arrived. There's a great variety of eateries in the area (I loved The Jalopy and Lavaca Teppan). The condo is located very close to the Megabus stop, so I was able to enjoy the city entirely on foot. I'll definitely stay here again the next time I head to Austin."
1080704,51727026,2015-10-24,43375113,Tom,Great place and location near UT campus. Attentive host and helpful tips for dining and entertainment. Bus or car needed for downtown destinations.

The neighborhood was nice, safe and had lots of large old trees. The location was close to where we wanted to be and is also easy to get to. Will definitely look it up again if we travel to Austin. "

Austin helped us with everything we needed and was always quick to answer any questions we had about the place or something we needed. If I ever need a place to stay when I go to Austin Texas again, I will definitely see if he has his place available. 
Thank you so much Austin!"

6896727,42550147,2015-08-14,5986166,Grace,"100% recommended! 

Omar and Erika were absolutely wonderful hosts. 

I had to change my check-in time a few times but on all occasions they were quick with a response and happy to allow me flexibility. 

The house was spotless. There were plenty of fresh towels, the sheets were freshly washed, the place was exactly the same (if not better in real life than) in the photos. It was in a perfect location right opposite a bakery and near Walgreens. It was also so thoughtful and kind for them to leave bottled water me as well. 

Communication was very quick and they answered my questions without any hesitation. 

I'm so glad I had the chance to meet them both- they were warm, hospitable, and very genuine. 

I would recommend Omar and Erika's place to anyone looking for something convenient, comfortable, clean, affordable and reliable.

The location was perfect, a short walk from everything in downtown Austin including 6th street, the river, and Congress Ave.  The place itself had a rustic-chic style, comfortable beds, high water pressure showers, a great stereo/tv and all the amenities of home.  Topping it all off was our host Ryan, he really went all out to assure our experience in Austin was authentic and hassle free.  We were 4 business men travelling together but this place would also be perfect for 3 couples.  We will definitely stay at the Railyard Oasis again on future trips or at one of Ryan's other locations.  Thank you for making our trip to Austin memorable!  "
917932,3781089,2013-03-14,1033946,Ryan,"Ryan is everything you'd want in a AirBnB host, and much more. I've stayed in 20+ AirBnBs, and this experience was by far the best. Highly recommend any of his properties to both business and vacation travelers!"

The beautifully furnished condo was the perfect size for our group of six. Ryan welcomed us upon our arrival, offered to make reservations for us throughout the weekend, and extended our stay by a few hours so we could leave our bags while taking in some last minute sights. All in all a great experience and preferable to a hotel any day. Highly recommended location, host, and accommodations!"

The condo is outfitted with everything you could ask for from a new coffee machine to a Tempurpedic bed. The location is amazing, literally 2 blocks from the main attractions downtown, and a starbucks across the street (key). Ryan is a great host. He is more attentive and ""on the ball"" than any other host I've ever worked with. I can't say enough how great the experience was. I will certainly stay at one of Ryan's properties on my next visit to Austin."

The apartment is gorgeous.  It's 2 blocks from the 6th street action.  Check-in and check-out were a breeze.  The condo is on the ground level, but the street noise was minimal.  This was probably my best Airbnb experience yet.  Thanks, Ryan!      "
917932,4567699,2013-05-13,5547831,Lana,"Ryan's place is beautiful, clean, has great amenities, and is perfectly located near everything in Downtown Austin. I would recommend it with no hesitation to my friends and family. We were a group of seven visiting Austin for a May weekend, and we loved having a big apartment to share instead of renting multiple hotel rooms. Ryan was the perfect host. He was extremely responsive leading up to our stay and called us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. I did not meet Ryan, but my friend did, and she thought he was very professional and attentive. Our group of friends travel a lot and have experienced different levels of accommodations, and we were very impressed with the decor and comfort of Ryan's apartment. I would definitely stay here again!"
917932,4797073,2013-05-26,3416516,Brett,The Railyard Oasis condo is fantastic!  Everything you could need is already there and obviously the location is killer.

The best part of our stay was Ryan.  Ryan is a super host.  He is very responsive and welcoming.  Upon our arrival, he helped us w/ our luggage.  He spent some time w/ us touring the condo and introducing himself. Offered to make reservations and suggestions to restaurant.  Throughout my stay he reached out a few times to make sure everything is going well and asked if I needed anything.  It was my friend's bachelorette party, and he even offered to drop off a gift!  It was like having your own personal concierge.  There's no doubt that Ryan is passionate about providing great hospitality.  If you decide to stay here, you'll be in good hands.  Highly recommended!"

This place was very nice, clean, and walking distance to any variety of trouble your crew may be looking for ;) Ryan was always just a phone call or text away and was helpful and a good guy.  If you're staying in Austin, stay here....  Keep it real and do it ""Texas Big"" and ""Austin Weird"" while in town!! If someone dies, it'll probably be worth it.  

The pool is small but perfect for chilling and soaking off a hangover...  And what are we, 7?  That we need to do cannonballs???  It reminded me of a Greek bath and I dug it.  Get down there and check it out.  Have fun!!!!"

The location gave my group the ability to be centrally located in downtown Austin to be close to everything that the city has to offer.

Ryan was extremely accommodating and made it a point to check in during our stay to make sure it was satisfactory. I definitely recommend both Ryan and his condos to anyone.

917932,31073280,2015-05-01,26493254,Matt,"Great location, decent place. ""Swanky"" is a bit much but certainly a nice complex. Good directions, easy to find and get in.  Nice place to socialize. A couple of nits: Bedrooms facing the street got a little noisy in the wee hours. And It gets tight if you have to use the fourth bed (air mattress). 

Overall satisfied with the experience.  "
917932,31461193,2015-05-05,30848818,Thomas,"Great experience, exactly as advertised.  Apartment was spacious and very nice.  The place was quiet despite being centrally located.  Pre-check in email from Ryan was very useful and much appreciated.  Check in/out was super easy."
917932,31889939,2015-05-11,7522988,Arif,"Great place to stay in Austin. Perfect downtown location, walking distance to most things to do. Ryan was great communicating with us about everything, even accommodating an early check in. Would recommend staying here. "
917932,32086383,2015-05-13,4437624,Charlie,Very welcoming. Great experience. Would def stay here again. 
917932,33049844,2015-05-24,18143592,Bobby,I enjoyed my stay in Austin because of this condo. It was very clean and I had no problems. I highly recommend this condo if you plan to stay in Austin. 
917932,33806388,2015-06-01,31088690,Michael,"Ryan and his team were excellent hosts. Everything from the kitchens to the bathrooms/showers and bedrooms was fully stocked when we arrived. They were more than accommodating--going so far as to switch our room to another, larger one when they received a last minute cancellation--and they had many suggestions on what to do and see over our weekend in Austin. Their previous reviews and ratings obviously speak for themselves and their standards."
917932,35097329,2015-06-15,19370288,James And Harriet,Plenty of information provided by Ryan and his team. Great location and loved up to the expectations set. Very friendly people and we will use the location again. 
917932,35772860,2015-06-22,715208,Max,"The Team (Thomas, Ryan + Jared) where very accommodating.

At the beginning we had a few challenges, 
which were rectified quickly, while we were out of the Apartment.
Only the Ice Cube Maker in the Fridge/Freezer Combi had a Mind of its own & we could not get it to work.

I was staying with two Colleagues, 
who liked the place for its convenience 
of being so close to the Conference Centre - 
literally a stone throw away.
Along with the Starbucks across the Street & the Keurig Coffee Maker in the Kitchen. 
And several Restaurants behind the Condominium. 

Their only Critique Point - 
the patchy slow Internet needs improvement.

Now that Austin becomes a Google Fiber City, 
allowing to register Addresses north of the River in a few weeks,
we hope that this can be fixed soon!
Unfortunately at present it took us a good hour 
to download a half hour long HD Comedy Episode from iTunes.

And large Attachments took also a few Minutes to upload, 
so we resorted to using one of our iPhone's as Mobile Hotspot in combination with our T-Mobile unlimited Plan.

For the Record: 
Ryan offered to provide us with one of his Mobile Hotspots, 
but we declined.

For longer Stays, the front loading Washer & Dryer are a great help.
Along with the small Pool in the Neighbouring Condominium.
We also did not use the Parking Space, 
since the Metro Tram has its Final Stop basically in front of the Door. 
And UBER is so inexpensive to get around town.

Should the Convention come back into town, we would use the Apartment again, because the Location is simply unbeatable!"
917932,36507903,2015-06-29,9522182,Vanessa,"My entire experience from beginning to end working with Ryan and his partners was wonderful. They communicated in a timely fashion in regards to any questions we had prior to and during our stay. They were very accommodating, allowing us to drop off our bags prior to check-in as well as hold our bags for a late check-out. The unit was well maintained and centrally located to everything. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in Austin!"
917932,41099669,2015-08-04,35988179,Ashley,The location of this airbnb was great. It's in the middle of DT and close to all the bars on 6th street. Ryan and his team were extremely helpful and went out of there way to accommodate my group's early check-in. I highly recommend staying at this airbnb!
917932,41462579,2015-08-07,7701342,Kristin,My colleagues and I were very impressed with the suite. Everything is accurate compared to the pictures and it is very central if you need to stay downtown for a conference. Directions were easy to follow and the staff were prompt in their replies. I would happily stay in the unit again in the future and recommend anyone to book when you have a larger party. 
917932,41929272,2015-08-10,29934049,Karen,"We had no contact with the host at all. We had requested and were granted an additional night prior to our original arrival date (of which we were most appreciative).  We attempted to call upon arrival the numbers we were provided, but did not receive a call back. Very nicely appointed and obviously a great location."
917932,42710719,2015-08-15,25544539,Rob,Our stay at Ryan's place was excellent.  He was very responsive and made sure we got set up.  The location is brilliant.  You can't get more central in downtown Austin than this.  The apartment was a spacious 3 bedroom that accommodated 3 business colleagues.  We will definitely try to stay here again.
917932,43027917,2015-08-17,8881575,Katie,"The candy on the pillows was a nice touch.  The listing was very accurate.  The layout was very nice.  The neighborhood is a great walking neighborhood.  No complaints very easy to work with.  No unreasonable requests, the actual unit has a lot of nice touches, but isn't cluttered.  I would stay here again without even considering other options!"
917932,43792685,2015-08-22,35408647,Bill,"Absolutely outstanding is how I would describe this property. Located only 1 block from the convention, it was perfect for our Keller Williams event.  The bedrooms each offer queen size beds with memory foam (email hidden)r a perfect nights sleep.  Living room was relaxing and the perfect spot to relax after a long day of education.  Thomas and Ryan are fantastic, easily approachable, and respond quickly.  We will definitely want to stay in the condo again....  Thomas an extra thank you to you for all your assistance. We will be back. "
917932,44176804,2015-08-24,38961132,Neil,Excellent place!
917932,45242184,2015-09-01,28888547,Nicole,"Our host, Ryan exceeded all expectations from the minute we walked into our Railroad Oasis condo.  Not only were his instructions on getting and entering the building helpful and to the ""T,"" the condo was spotless and had amazing amenities! 

Ryan also coordinated with my fiance & property manager, Thomas, to deliver special treats while keeping it a surprise and a seamless transition! 

On top of it all, he accommodated an early and late check in.

He truly was a special part of my bachelorette party and I could not have wished or asked for anything more! "
917932,46984025,2015-09-14,41957823,Ibett,"I helped to host a girls weekend/bachelorette party for a group of 6 girls.  This was the PERFECT place for our stay.  Very clean and chic, this apartment was big enough for us to all sleep comfortably, and cozy enough for us to feel at home.  It included everything we needed: dishes, towels, pillows, even hair dryers.  

It was also perfectly situated in a great downtown location, and we were able to easily walk to all of the places we wanted to visit on 6th street and beyond.   No  need for cars or pedi cabs for us, but we did notice that a pedi cab would have been easily accessible just outside of our doors.

Check-in/check-out was simple and Ryan and I corresponded before our trip dates.  Between Ryan and Thomas, all my questions were answered, and I was confident that our visit would be seemless.  And it was!  They left descriptive directions that made everything so simple for us.

I would HIGHLY recommend staying here to anyone and will book this apartment again next time I visit.  Ryan has several places on Airbnb within Austin, so I feel confident booking any one of his locations.  If the place has Ryan Windsor's name associated with it, then it's an automatic A+ in my book.

Thanks for the great visit!"
917932,47968715,2015-09-22,37660128,Leigh,"Great place, great location, great communication, well appointed! "
917932,48606317,2015-09-27,44160834,Paul,"Great location in downtown Austin. The condo was easy to check-in/out of, had free private parking, and was close to good places to dine out. Worked great as our home and work place for my co-workers and I. "
917932,49877869,2015-10-07,2410494,Anil,"Lovely apartment in a great part of town. The place was spacious and well furnished with all the amenities you would need. It is centrally located with a lot of bars and restaurants nearby, and easy to get around town. Ryan was friendly and responsive to any requests. My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here..."
917932,52843618,2015-11-02,44186546,Michael,"This place is great, perfect layout and location for a group trip to Austin. We had three couples attending a wedding and everything was great. The location is perfect and Ryan is very helpful and quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again."
7887554,46256541,2015-09-08,37083789,Jessica,"This place was the perfect location for a Sunday in Austin! Celeste made checking in and out extremely simple, and we did not run into any issues! Will definitely try to stay here again when I'm back in town."
7887554,47541518,2015-09-20,6369098,Tiffany,"Though we never met in person Celeste was a great host: responsive, nice, and accommodating. We didn't spend much time in her apartment other than for sleeping because we were out exploring but it was an easy place to get to via Lyft or Uber. On cooler days it would be walkable to some of the hotspots like Waterloo, Amy's Ice Cream, and Whole Foods but in the heat we needed to use car services. Overall a great experience. "
7887554,47829228,2015-09-21,35874909,Anna,Celeste's apartment was very comfortable and cute. I would say it was overpriced but it was clean and in a great location. 
7887554,49911388,2015-10-07,34463624,Juan Pablo,"Todo estuvo perfecto, el departamento esta en una perfecta ubicación y nos funciono perfecto para nuestro fin de semana del ACL y para conocer la ciudad. El único problema fue que no funciono el Wifi pero se disculpo el anfitrión con nosotros. Muchas gracias y esperamos regresar pronto!"
7887554,50482675,2015-10-12,16571044,Anirban,"We appreciated the location of this unit for ACL. Halfway point from Zilker and East 6th. Bed and couch were comfortable. Only concern was parking. They had prohibited parking during ACL weekend 2. Fortunately, Celeste was kind enough to borrow her parking pass. Celeste is a great host to work with! Responsive and makes sure you are well taken care of. Highly recommended! "

669923,3390972,2013-01-22,3929789,Ginger,This house was wonderful ! Clean and plenty of space for a large group! The location is perfect to South Congress - We had a great experience and Lindsay was so sweet. 
669923,3426976,2013-01-28,4508323,Charlie,"Lindsay was super welcoming and laid back about the whole experience. 

The house(s) are really nicely furnished an decorated. Great kitchen, living rooms, and the bedrooms are awesome. The bed I slept in is more comfortable than my bed at home! The back house apartments are awesome too. 

We rented the Compound for a reunion of 12 guys, and it was perfect - plenty of space to hang out and good privacy as well when we wanted to chill."
669923,3612508,2013-02-26,841987,Jessica,"The house was fantastic and we had a lot of space. Lindsay was very friendly and welcoming and I had no problems contacting her when I needed her. The ONLY downside was that we had some problems with a neighbor who thought we were too noisy. Admittedly, we were excited to all see each other that first night, but I don't think we were that neighbors first complaint. However, I would highly recommend this property. It was clean, well-stocked and comfortable with a good location. "
669923,7545687,2013-09-24,5934163,Bryant,"Lindsay and her husband are awesome, worked with me on my arrival time and the Compound is definitely as advertised.  Perfect spot for a big weekend getaway.  My out of town friends were all very impressed with my discovery of this gem in SoCo."
669923,8650720,2013-11-11,5306876,Rex,"The weekend started off a little uncomfortable.....I had arranged the weekend for four couples who go somewhere for a long weekend every year.  We were the last ones to arrive and my friends had all picked out bedrooms.  They were a little ""underwhelmed"" until they learned that there was a whole other building with two nicer bedrooms each with a private bathroom.  It certainly brightened everyone's attitude to have a private potty.  The house was comfortable and well equipped and is convenient to good dining and entertainment options as well as grocery stores.  Definitely recommend this.
"
669923,12527940,2014-05-05,3912946,Reid,Lindsay was great to work with and her property is beautiful and located in an awesome area! Everyone that stayed for the weekend was blow away by this place.  We'll be back!

The whole compound is spacious and extremely comfortable, and Lindsay was easily available for the few questions we had. This was also one of the most conveniently located places I've ever stayed--we never spent more than 10-15 minutes in a car and got to see a lot of the city. Great communication ahead of time with the host; everything about the house was easy; an ideal weekend overall. "

Thanks to Lindsay and the ""Compound"" we ate well, slept well and have made promises to do it again.  As host I sought a  layout that would allow everyone much needed privacy as well as areas large enough to accommodate everyone; all that and in a neighborhood within walking distance of music, food, swimming, shopping and yes, even a bookstore.   I found exactly what I was looking for here.   It is obvious that much thought and care have been put into furnishing and stocking this space; the needs of 3 generations were anticipated and more than met.   The space was clean, well maintained and as described -  we give it 26 thumbs up. "
669923,28774171,2015-03-30,22958307,Nancy,"We rented this home for 3 families to be together for our son's wedding in Austin.  It was just perfect for 13 of us with room to spare.  It was well furnished, spacious, with lots of room to congregate.  We especially appreciated the nice yard and patio seating since the weather was good.  Lindsay was always available by phone or text to answer questions.  The location was great too.  Would recommend this rental."
669923,33348655,2015-05-27,5705043,Zenyth,"The ""Compound"" exceeded our expectations. We rented the entire property, and our extended family had plenty of space to spread out and interact. The big house was great, and so where both of the apartments. The property manager responded promptly to all of our inquiries. Our dogs enjoyed the yard and the fence was very secure. Highly recommended."
669923,34398464,2015-06-08,26313573,Tina,"We loved our stay at The Compound. Easy check in and the location was great for our big group. There were a couple of suggestions from our guests:
The wifi passcode in the main house did not work, an easier pass code would of been better
The upstairs apts need black out shades, for sunlight and temp control. Luckily we had early risers on those apts
Wonderful time and loved our visit to ATX"
669923,35769131,2015-06-22,2622166,Jesse,"The compound was awesome! Great indoor and outdoor space, comfortable beds for everyone in our group, and quick and reliable communication with our host.

Thanks so much!"
669923,38991189,2015-07-20,1601592,Sonny,"Great experience at Lindsay's property. Everything we needed was there, easy check in and check out. Great place, nice yard, perfect for larger groups, or just small ones in the smaller apartment/house. Location is PERFECT for exploring Austin. Not too close to the madness downtown, but just a super quick drive or walk to everything. "
669923,47632667,2015-09-21,9050587,Sagar,"Had a great time at The Compound. Convenient location, plenty of space, and helpful support/communication before & through the stay. Would recommend to those considering a stay here!"
2097779,12124303,2014-04-23,8925607,Kerrie,"This place is AMAZING! Perfect for family reunions or a friend getaway. We had 9 people in the house and there was plenty of space. It is gorgeous. The backyard is huge, perfect for BBQs and evening hang outs. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. We slept on the top floor which is like a tree house.  We came for my wedding so we had a bunch of family staying and everyone was really happy with the place. I can't say enough good things about it. TurnKey was great to work with. Very responsive to any questions we had. Checking in was a snap. "
2097779,12954649,2014-05-15,650009,Justin,This is such a great airbnb house.  Plenty of space and very clean.  I stayed in the top of the birds house and it is almost like sleeping in a tree house.  Very peaceful.
2097779,16463941,2014-07-28,649154,Rachel,"This house was in a great neighborhood and was very well decorated and appointed. We had a group of 8 for a bachelorette party and overall had a great experience in the house. Something to note: Accessing the upstairs addition means a steep, almost treacherous spiral climb and the addition can be a very different temperature from the rest of the house (warmer or cooler). The space can definitely be used if needed for extra sleeping quarters, but at the very top it'd be hard to fit a grown adult male. 

Erika was very easy to work with – very responsive and friendly. The air conditioning wasn't working properly when we arrived (as happens often in Texas) and was fixed promptly. All in all we had a great time in this unique house!"
2097779,17850300,2014-08-18,11400836,Sean,"Erica and the TurnKey team made my trip to Austin an absolute charm. The house is exactly how it is pictured; gorgeous, spacious, unique, and perfect for our group of 9. The patio/deck is great for entertaining, and the interior of the house stays nice and cool during the summer months. The neighbors are fantastic as well! Next time I am in Austin, I will be sure to stay here again."
2097779,19236359,2014-09-08,1638940,Faisal,The place is amazing and the location cannot be beat. 
2097779,23160859,2014-11-24,21010240,Tyler,"This house was even better in person. A big group of us went for my boyfriend's 30th birthday and we had such a great time cooking in the large kitchen and hanging out on the deck. I am originally from Austin and this house is the epitome of what I love about the city. Plus, you can't beat being less than a block away from Austin City Java!"

Multiple levels outside are strange to maneuver but lovely.  Two upstairs bedrooms difficult to access.  Would never bring young children here.  Would not let anyone use inside stairs.
We love to cook so brought our own knives, etc. kitchen has basics.
Thought there was a working fireplace.  Saw mantle in picture and assumed there was one. Don't!
This was important to me. Since it was Christmas I wanted one.
We had a wonderful time!"
2097779,25839855,2015-01-27,1143888,Laura (And Walt),"PROS: Communication was spot on. House was fun and funky.  Wish weather was warm because garden are was terrific.
CONS:  this is NOT a 5 bedroom house.  We were here celebrating a 60th birthday with 4 older couples and an elderly mom.  One couple was on twin beds in the LR (which they considered a BR but did say separated by curtain -- just know that you are in the LR space) and one was a twin bed on an open landing area.  this is a 3 bedroom house that sleeps 9 people or more.  The internet was very unreliable.  Heat not consistent.  although great in many ways, we choose if for the number of bedrooms so all in all we thought it expensive for the experience. "
2097779,26049038,2015-02-02,531537,Alexander,"A large group came out to enjoy the weekend, and the house was great in that it served its purpose for what ended up being 12 people over two nights. The driveway was able to accommodate six cars with some creativity. The house was spacious, and with the group being in the late 20s, it delivered on what we needed. Location is phenomenal, and the outdoor staircase was great so that each person could get to where they needed to go without having to disturb everyone.

Backyard was spacious, but the damp weather did not allow us to fully enjoy. I would absolutely book again if I had a large group coming back to Austin. Communication was great, and early-check in was provided. Did not get the late check-out, but that's because there was another guest coming that day. Another plus - enough silverware, plates, and cups for everyone."
2097779,27324482,2015-03-02,25774648,Alyssa,Very cute house with lots of character. Probably a house for a group of mostly young people considering how difficult it is to get to many of the beds due to the crazy spiral staircase or having to go outside in the cold weather to use the sturdier stairs to get to the rooms.
2097779,27638693,2015-03-09,6663956,Michelle,This house was awesome.  Perfect for a bachelorette weekend in Austin!  I wanted to have us all under one roof.  The house is super quirky with the tiny rooms in the tower and funky design elements all over the house!  I slept on the top floor and felt like I was sleeping in a treehouse.  I would definitely rent this place again for an event.
2097779,28322275,2015-03-22,27109096,David,Turnkey vacation rentals were very professional and aside from a few little issues that were sorted out quickly we really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house.
2097779,28776935,2015-03-30,25027319,Kendal,"This house was perfect for me and my 5 girlfriends to stay for a long weekend! Erica did a great job with giving us instructions for the house. This home looks even better in person than the pictures and I would recommend staying here to anyone! Also, the neighborhood was beautiful and was very close to everything - Downtown, 6th Street, S Congress and Rainey St.
"
2097779,30288122,2015-04-20,27059313,Leslie,"This house is amazing and the hostess was easy to work with. There were click check-in and out instructions. We were able to get an eater check-in which was helpful. The home is so unique and fit our group of 8 comfortably. It was in a great, funky, central location. I would recommend this home to family and friends. "

We would all most definitely recommend this house to any one of our friends and family. Working with AirBnB was easy and seamless. Thank you for a truly great experience!
2097779,36989156,2015-07-03,1865759,Eric,"This house was certainly unique! It had a very cozy beachy Austin vibe. It's a great place for a group to stay that has all of the basics. 

It's clearly a full-time rental, so there's not much of a kitchen stock, or many extras. Also, it's clear that there was a lot of DIY-work done around the house. The home-make Spiral staircase seemed a little suspect. It's a little less than immaculate in the upkeep department, since it's a full-time rental. There's nothing dirty about the surface, there were clearly cleaners, but things like vents and fixtures had clearly not been cared for in some time.

Also, no locks on the bathrooms. Just a heads up.

This is managed by a large property management company, so expect some quirks with that. There isn't so much a host as a company that handles the account, so I did find myself on hold waiting to get directions to get into the house that had fallen through the cracks. It was very smooth from the point where we showed up though.

All-in-all it's a cozy place that more than suffices for a place to crash for a large group. Just don't expect touches of home or hospitality that you get with a family that might live in their home."
2097779,44281807,2015-08-25,18940947,Molly,"Wonderful home, fantastic neighborhood, everything we wanted it to be!"
2097779,46912544,2015-09-14,39484732,Charlie,"The pictures do a great job of showing this house. Downstairs consists of a very open, common living area that are great for hanging out with your entire group. The living room has plenty of couches that aren't terrible to crash on. There is a large back yard as well with a charcoal grill and a spacious deck area. The upstairs is funky and cool - feels very much like a tree house. Stairs are extremely narrow and windy, so you need to be careful going up and down. The bedrooms though are awesome have their own personal decks. The neighborhood is very quiet and residential. There are trees everywhere though, so it feels very private. 

Turnkey was awesome. They are very on top of sending you the necessary information in advance and making sure the house is in order. The house was very clean when we got there and all the appliances and lights worked. 

Highly recommend this house for groups of 8-10 younger adults who do not feel that they need to be in the center of downtown. 6th street was about a 5-minute, $5 uber ride away. "

2097779,48706752,2015-09-28,10829861,Brendan,Fun place and great location for Downtown Austin and Zilker Park. 
340164,1002956,2012-03-15,1300210,Nick & Queenie,"This is a nice, homely house and the office bedroom is converted from a garage so it's off to the side of the house and private. At night I heard an owl's hoot and in the morning a rooster's crow wakes me up. Hard to believe it's only a few minuets away from downtown Austin by car! Highly recommended."
340164,1004661,2012-03-15,1891739,Scott,"Very Nice House, lots of personality, books, art. Very friendly hosts. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Thanks!"
340164,1010513,2012-03-17,29770855,Olivia,I had to find a room for SXSW at the very last minute and it had to be close to downtown. Petra was so nice about the whole situation and even cooked french toast for breakfast! Very clean and comfy. 
340164,1023402,2012-03-20,1640221,Tim,"Petra and her mom were both super-friendly and super-accommodating. Also, props to Petra for letting me rearrange my dates and cancel most of my stay at the last minute, especially given I was staying at such a crazily busy time of year.

Since I was in town for SXSW I have to admit that I barely spent any time in the house, but it's in a really quiet and relaxed part of town a little bit out of the center - great for escaping the insanity of SXSW. I'd highly recommend it. "
340164,1065494,2012-03-31,596674,Rowena,Petra and her mom are very friendly people.  They pretty much let me do my thing while I was interviewing in Austin.  I find that Austinites are warm and welcoming people.  I had my own little space.  There was a cool coffee shop about three blocks away.  I would definitely recommend staying at their place.
340164,1080756,2012-04-03,2027048,Coleman,I had a really good stay with Petra and Peggy. They were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to help. Will definitely go back and stay next time I'm in Austin.
340164,1201899,2012-04-30,2000906,Barbara,"Petra is a lovely person, and my stay there was very casual and easy.  At the time I was there, it was sort of a hostel atmosphere, with four of us staying in separate parts of the house.  There was plenty of privacy in my room and the air bed was very comfortable.   Petra was quite busy but in our brief conversations, I found her to be so sweet and welcoming. This was a convenient location for me and met my needs perfectly.  The back deck is nice to sit out on.  Very quiet accommodation and everyone who stayed was easy-going, quiet and respectful. "
340164,1343739,2012-05-24,747243,Karen,"It was great... The area of town was perfect for me and Peggy (Petra's mom) was in touch with me right away about accomodations.  I even had breakfast and just stayed in the living room doing some work (email catch up) before I left. 
"
340164,1434909,2012-06-07,2029025,Clem,Nice hiouse It's in a quiet neighborhood.Peggy is very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended. 
340164,1452759,2012-06-10,2161743,Liza M,"Petra's Mom, Peggy, was very nice and accomodating and made my stay comfortable. House was clean and neat and I definitely used the kitchen. Peggy graciously offered anything I needed to cook my meals. I enjoyed my stay."
340164,1476919,2012-06-13,1002652,Ben,"I only got to meet Peggy, Petra's mom, and she was just great. Super-friendly, super-helpful, I was treated like an old friend. The room was fine for my needs, and the house is comfortable and beautiful. Highly recommended! "
340164,1644489,2012-07-06,2624569,Viorela,"I only got to meet Peggy, who was a lovely host. The perfect balance between privacy and nice conversation. Highly recommended."
340164,1809736,2012-07-26,2834382,Ajay,"Peggy, Petra's mom, and Petra were great hostesses, always available for a word and to help.  The airbed is pretty comfortable, almost as good as a real bed, and I used the desk and chair a lot while I was there.  Little touches, like fresh packaged soap in the bathroom when you get in and fresh towels, really make you feel like you're taken care of.  I ended up staying for a couple extra weeks and everything went smoothly, great to have a private entrance so I could just pop in and out whenever I wanted.  There are labels all over the kitchen and bathroom, so it's easy to find things and not have to ask a bunch of questions when you first get in.  With the central Brentwood location a couple miles north of downtown, you can't really go wrong for a short stay in Austin."
340164,1894672,2012-08-05,2907910,Tayla,"Petra and her mom Peggy were great!  They were very welcoming and friendly.  The office room was a great size and the air bed very comfy. I was taking a class and the desk came in handy. Their home is user friendly with signs posted for silverware, cups, tea, etc.  I would definitely stay again if I'm ever in Austin :)"
340164,1921161,2012-08-07,2861735,Paul,"Peggy is a wonderful host. Her home is in the very cool Allandale district in Austin. This is a North central location with bus access just minutes away. I highly recommend either room she has listed. 

You can chill in the front or the back yard or take walks in the neighborhood. If you need to cook she has all the cupboards marked for you convenience. She has filtered water which is great.

Peggy is busy writing her book about Afghan women and she started the ""Afghan Women's Project"". This is a very interesting woman with a deeply spiritual and welcoming soul. She epitomizes what is best of old Austin and if you're cool and open you'll truly enjoy your stay whether you talk with her or you just chill in your room.

I strongly urge you to visit her kickstarter page for her book and donate to a good cause.

340164,1936239,2012-08-09,3096654,Geoff,"This place is great! When I arrived, the previous guest in this room had decided to stay an extra night, so Peggy (Petra's mom, runs the place while she's away) gave me her more expensive room for the same price! The house is in a pretty nice area, and right next to the bus line, about half an hour from downtown by bus. I only met Petra briefly, but both Peggy and Petra were very nice, and great hosts. I would definitely stay here if I came to Austin again"
340164,2003427,2012-08-16,2260420,Sergio,"Petra and her family are really nice. Their house is clean and has everything that you need to feel safe and comfortable. The bus stop is just around the corner so it is really easy to get to downtown and UT (also it is really close, no more than 20 min in bus).

I totally recommend staying at their house!"
340164,2258190,2012-09-10,3261594,Taliya,"I have had a great time at Petra's house. Clean, quiet and comfortable place with so kind family. It was a pleasure to have met them.
I would be glad to stay there again and strongly recommend to the others."
340164,2329390,2012-09-17,332058,Mary,"I completely enjoyed my time at Petra's...it was just what I needed. A place for peace and quiet from a much needed break from the chaos in my life... Thank you to the host for providing a sanity place. 
"
340164,2379912,2012-09-23,263023,Noel,"The place was neat, quiet, and my host was very helpful ."
340164,2456249,2012-09-30,3476987,Florian,"Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to know Petra, but my stay was great nonetheless. I got to know Peggy, Petras mom, and she was a great host. Very friendly and welcoming, up for a talk if you wanted one but also respecting your privacy. If I ever need to stay in Austin for a few nights again, I would be glad if it could be at their place. Thanks again!"
340164,2513805,2012-10-05,3541988,Jimmy,Peggy was a great hostess and the room was exactly what I needed.  Her home is in a very peaceful and beautiful neighborhood.  The bus is less than a block away and takes you directly to UT or downtown.  Definitely a place to stay when I visit again.
340164,2613525,2012-10-15,774622,Taylor,"Great stay at an amazing value! Wonderful hosts that were easy to contact, very welcoming, and made me feel right at home. Quite neighborhood with only a short walk to catch a bus...few more blocks you'll find Cheko's breakfast tacos and Thunderbird Cafe's awesome Iced Toddy :)"
340164,2753782,2012-10-29,1628449,Amy,"this house is in a beautiful neighborhood chock full of charming homes and lush greenery. peggy & danielle (petra is away studying medicine) were super friendly and welcoming. they gave me my privacy but not before showing me the essentials in their home. the office ""bedroom"" is cozy with character. i stayed two nights, friday & saturday, and was grateful to have a private entrance. i enjoyed coffee and conversation sunday morning with peggy and saturday night danielle was gracious enough to try and help me with a wardrobe malfunction. overall, an excellent stay--i'd definitely stay here again and recommend to all! [btw, super close to thunderbird coffee house on koenig.]"
340164,2812234,2012-11-05,832081,Jennifer,"The house is in a lovely residential neighborhood and has so much character, especially the office bedroom. Would have loved to find out more about it, but unfortunately my trip ended up being busier than I thought and I didn't really get much chance to talk with either Peggy or Danielle. What little we did interact though, they are obviously both great hosts, informative and helpful."
340164,2873689,2012-11-12,2600941,Joy,They were very kind and easy going and let me stay very last minute! 
340164,3234220,2013-01-02,488713,Rusty,"Had such a god time, I came back three days later. Recommended."
340164,3355411,2013-01-15,4422172,Scott,"The price is right to nestle up in this office space. The owner was calm and friendly always, and I did get to use the washer and dryer no problem. The shower had nice hot water and I never crossed path with anyone using the bathroom. It was great to have the private entrance, and it was great to walk down the street to a cafe and a mexican restaurant. I'm also amazed just how comfortable those extra deep air mattresses are.
Peggy is a special kind of caring human being, and her daughter was confidently warm. I'd return!"
340164,3378901,2013-01-20,1512157,Peter,Had a famtastic experience from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. Its private and feels like your own room. Peggy was a great help in telling me how to get to places in Austin and what is good to see. would recomend it to anyone
340164,3445040,2013-01-30,2029025,Clem,"It's been my nth time staying at Peggy's home. Always looking for her place if avail, when I'm in Austin. It's like going back home. Very friendly and accommodating."
340164,3632312,2013-02-26,4957326,Kacie,Peggy was very nice and accommodating!  Staying at her house was a pleasure.  Her home is warm and artsy and in a quiet neighborhood.  It's very close to a few bus stops that go directly downtown and to South Congress.
340164,3656413,2013-02-28,2919693,Michael,Peggy is a great host and has a nice house to stay in. Also very quiet which was good for me since I needed to catch up on some sleep!
340164,3665562,2013-03-01,2919693,Michael,Nice stay on my extension with Peggy. 
340164,3691308,2013-03-04,1182493,Brian,"Peggy and her daughters were extremely kind and welcoming. The place was clean and cozy, and in a very nice neighborhood - quiet and residential with very easy access to downtown Austin. I'd very much recommend staying here."
340164,3725038,2013-03-08,5229950,Kelly,"Great location, but eserve the larger room at this location for a reasonably comfortable stay."
340164,3774002,2013-03-13,4061961,Francisco,"I had a great stay at Peggy's and I recommend the place to others.  Friendly hostess, friendly guests.  Safe neighborhood, walking distance to public transit.   I did not get to meet Peggy personally because she was speaking at the UN!  She wrote a book about women's life in Afganistan which is pretty cool.  Adjusting the hot water during your first shower when you are still half asleep is like a mini IQ test.  Just remember that hot is on the right, cold is on the left, and both valves open backwards (lefty tighty, righty loosy) and you'll be all set ;-) "
340164,3930525,2013-03-28,5367730,Loni,"This was my first airbnb experience. I confess that I was nervous about staying in staying in someone's home, but Peggy was a very warm and gracious hostess and put me right at ease. My room was comfortable and as pictured. The air mattress was very comfy - quite sturdy and firm. I was there for a week and relied on frozen meals but there was plenty of freezer space and access to the kitchen was no problem. Peggy made it easy to navigate her kitchen as she's labeled the cabinets and drawers, which I thought was clever. The bathroom was shared, but I was always able to use it whenever I wanted without waiting and there were plenty of towels on hand. I was able to use the washer/dryer, which I thought was a very nice perk. All in all, a very comfortable stay! If I have to go back to Austin, I would definitely try to stay with Peggy again. "
340164,3990920,2013-04-01,3564075,Dc,"Peggy and her daughter were welcoming.
They seem very interesting to talk to and I would have liked to meet the rest of the family.
While they were busy during the day, I took my son for a walk, finding the park almost on accident.
Their home is modest but lovely, and the neighbors are friendly. "
340164,4854896,2013-05-28,3644491,Scotty,Great host and great place to stay! Highly recommended. Very accommodating!
340164,4975156,2013-06-04,2851019,Ed,"wow, what a shower! best water pressure I ever experienced. humidifier is great idea for a bathroom. big towels. air mattress can be adjusted to desired firmness. refrigerator, washer & dryer handy - next to room. very good for 1 person for short stay."
340164,5138663,2013-06-14,548824,Katherine,"I was only in Austin for a day, but had a relaxing and quiet night at Peggy's house. Her home is warm and welcoming and my guestroom/study was comfortable - the bookshelves were lined with great books and dictionaries:  her husband speaks several languages.  The shared bathroom was accessible and clean and I was completely at home.  Peggy and her family are kind, thoughtful and very interesting world travelers and I will certainly make a point of staying with her again the next time I am in Austin.  Thank you for such nice accommodations."
340164,5354388,2013-06-25,6924866,Rosa,"My experience was absolutely wonderful!
Peggy Kelsey's home/ b and b was the perfect place to stay and relax  The space was quiet, clean and very comfortable.. The host Peggy Kelsey was warmly welcoming, kind and respectful of personal space.  I would look forward to staying there again and very highly recommend this charming comfortable space to anyone."
340164,6016379,2013-07-26,7076795,Alejandro,"Peggy's place was nice and clean. I would say it's a little small, but I loved having a desk right there in my room. There was a little problem with the celling fan and Peggy fixed it right away. Peggy was a wonderful host. I would recomend this place for anyone looking for a small room with a desk and private entrance which is a plus!!! "
340164,6040195,2013-07-27,7701497,Eric,"Peggy was awesome!  Lovely relaxing atmosphere & very central to Austin area, easy to get anywhere from there.  I would highly recommend her place & will not stay again only because I am becoming her neighbor in Austin. "
340164,6382856,2013-08-10,7941235,Ted,A perfect place to stay if you are traveling solo. Peggy is a wonderful host and her home is located on a quiet street near downtown Austin. 
340164,6477108,2013-08-13,1016255,Matthew,I had a terrific stay at Peggy's home last weekend -- she was welcoming and her home was ideal for me in terms of its location (a bus to campus and downtown is just down the block) and in terms of the space itself.   The private entrance allowed me to get back late at night (it's Austin after all!) without disturbing the rest of the house.  I would happily stay there again.
4330057,43566015,2015-08-20,14843931,Shane,Exactly as described. Our hosts were gracious and incredible. We would recommend them to anyone and would happily stay again. Can't say enough great things about this couple!
4330057,49908190,2015-10-07,11139502,Matt,"Jane and her family went above and beyond to make my co-workers and I feel welcome during an extended business trip. They were gracious, warm, and routinely checked in to make sure we were comfortable in their home. The house itself is clean and modern, and the neighborhood is in a great location - easily within walking distance to several restaurants, bars, and a just $5 Uber ride to downtown. I'd definitely recommend this house and would be happy to stay there again in the future! "
4330057,50435921,2015-10-12,37174344,Jessie,"The hosts made us feel most welcome!! They were perfectly accommodating and even made us a gift basket upon our arrival! 

The location was definitely in an ""up and coming"" area - beautiful house, but across the street from a cemetery and the area was a little sketchy. But we never felt unsafe - and the house has high fences and an alarm as well. 

Overall great place!"
4330057,52038577,2015-10-26,6312075,Jennifer,Host were wonderful as was their lovely house! Weather was terrible while we were in Austin with heavy rain so we were at the house a bit more than expected but could not have been more comfortable. House was clean and just as pictured and location was quite central making it very easy to get around Austin. Would happily stay here again. 
6234498,31683937,2015-05-08,7202480,Lauren,We had a lovely time on south Congress! This home was very comfortable and exactly as described. The key was in the mailbox and that's where we left it- very easy! We will stay again! 
6234498,35362075,2015-06-17,13030873,George,The host canceled this reservation 126 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
8241671,50388697,2015-10-11,22693591,Hunter,"Laurie was a wonderful host. She was often out of the house, but when she was home, she was gracious and friendly. No matter what, there was always a way to contact her if I had a question. There was another guest there during my stay that was equally as friendly who had an adorable puppy. 

The house is very clean and inviting. It's a short drive from downtown and the 183 junction, making it easy to get anywhere on the east side of Austin.

The neighborhood can be a bit noisy at night; not because of parties, just kids playing and an occasional loud airplane that would fly overhead. Like anywhere, you learn to block that out quickly. 

All in all, I will definitely try to stay here again in the future. This house was a great place to rest after a long day of work and in a perfect location. Laurie knows how to make it feel like a home away from home."
978563,28098890,2015-03-17,28627987,Anna,"You will be lucky to get to stay at this place. Greg was the absolute best host we have ever come across and his place is very clean and inviting. This is a 5 -star. There was a bottle of wine for us, snacks, detailed directions to the greatest restaurants in Austin, and little soaps in the bathrooms just like at a hotel. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this place for any travelers. Though don't expect to book for next year's SXSW, we'll have the placed booked :) !!!

Jeff & Kiersten"
978563,33087244,2015-05-25,29282129,Donna,"This trip was our first airbnb experience. It worked out great, and we would definitely use it again.  Our host was great and the home met the needs for our family. The home is beautiful and spacious.  We highly recommend the listing."
978563,51927814,2015-10-25,44489847,Dan,"The stay was great from beginning to end.  The welcome pack made us feel right at home from the start.  The hosts made great recommendations for restaurants.  The place is perfect for two couples.  The place was super cozy.  Everything inside was updated, nice and clean.

We were able to walk to the Hyde Park eateries.  When we went to the Longhorns game and later downtown, the Uber rides were quick and easy.

An added bonus was the old school Nintendo 64.  We had a blast unwinding at night with some Mario Kart wars and classic rock from their vinyl collection.

We would definitely stay here again for a couples weekend trip.  The hosts were gracious enough to mail back our credit card that was left behind on accident."
4824235,28070442,2015-03-17,11996039,David,"Had a great stay at James' apartment. It was a good sized studio, clean, and exactly as expected. The building is brand new and really nice. James was super helpful and very responsive. Couldn't recommend it more!"
4824235,28255562,2015-03-21,3205080,Raj,"James' place was actually better than was described in the Airbnb listing. It was large, modern and spacious and the pictures he provided really didn't do the place justice - we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the place was once we checked in. We were expecting something a lot smaller and basic.

The place was a great home to be at during SXSW and we are grateful to have found it after we left getting our accommodation sorted quite late. 

There were plenty of food options nearby too which was great - a food truck park, Chuy's for good mexican food and Austin Java is where we often found ourselves for breakfast. There were loads of other food options around too. We often walked to SXSW which was a good 40 minute walk on foot - great for getting some exercise in. Uber cabs were super cheap to and from the festival.

The only issue we had was with the wifi. It just wouldn't work no matter how hard we tried - it only seemed to work on the floor below us which wasn't very useful. However, Austin Java was a great spot for wifi nearby and Airbnb sorted us out with a mobile hotspot gadget very quickly once I notified them. I was quite impressed with their service in helping us SXSW festival goers in Austin.

2319673,11015524,2014-03-17,613208,Gina,Wonderful hosts and an awesome place to stay in a beautiful area! Very thoughtful; leaving behind water bottles and umbrellas for our use.  Highly recommended.
2319673,13390002,2014-05-26,15763644,Greg,"Had a great 6 night stay at Mark's place in South Austin.  Beautiful country setting, really nice quiet backyard with a swimming pool!  Converted garage apartment was very clean and had everything we needed.  They had added some thoughtful touches, including bug spray (you will need if you want to sit outside at night!) and coffee.  Also had a great little book shelf full of good reads and an I-pod full of great music with speakers.  Mark was very helpful throughout our stay and also very respectful of our privacy.  All around great experience!
We would definitely return."
2319673,27846823,2015-03-13,16951641,Les,"Was a nice small little place just south of Austin. We were in and out during our stay, so didn't get a chance to meet with Mark. However he was very hospitable and maid sure if there was anything we needed he could get it. It was perfect spot to be away from the city but in it at the same time. Was very quite at night. "
2319673,28021293,2015-03-16,27971588,Paige,"Mark and his wife were friendly, awesome hosts. There if you need them, but gave us plenty of space and privacy. As people who've never been to Austin, we really appreciated Mark's list of recommendations of places to go, where to park, etc. The space was comfortable, clean and charming. I'd definitely recommend staying here if you're OK with driving or taking an Uber into the downtown area. "
2319673,28270398,2015-03-21,28648873,Sergio,"The room was cozy and private, overlooking the beautiful backyard. The iPod in the room had an awesome music selection & Mark left us a list of different points of interest in the area and for SXSW that was really helpful! We had a great experience staying at his place!"
2319673,33045590,2015-05-24,33388860,Perla,"It is a great place in a country setting, clean and comfortable. The pool looked inviting however, the weather prevented us from enjoying it. Thanks for the entertainment tips!"
2319673,50458196,2015-10-12,41730054,Blake,"great location.  not far from downtown, but felt like it was in the country.  Driving in first night there were deer in the neighbor's yard.  good host as well.  Had good recommendations, and suggestions for getting around/parking"
1741604,8305759,2013-10-24,9454201,Kevin,"The room was clean, comfortable and modern -- all fixtures and furnishings seemed new. It's in a good location, very easy to get to all of the things we wanted to do in Austin. Ginger was very nice and easy to work with; we would stay here again if we end up back in town."
1741604,8418084,2013-10-29,2250202,Chris,"It was a really lovely apartment and very clean. The location is good if you like walking (which I do). It takes 15-20mins to walk to Rainey Street (great night life). Just up the road (5mins) is the end of East 6th Street. I walked everywhere and didn't need to use a cab.

The apartment is down an alleyway in what seemed like a safe neighbourhood. It was quite warm so most of the windows in the apartment were left permanently open. However this meant that it was pretty noisy due to all the neighbourhood dogs and the building works going on nearby (which started really early in the morning, even on the weekend). This obviously isn't the fault of the apartment but I thought it was worth mentioning.

I'd definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends."
1741604,8440725,2013-10-30,3621020,Dustin,"Ginger's apartment was perfect – clean and comfortable, close to our favorite part of town, and checking in and out was a breeze. I highly recommend this spot!"
1741604,8647429,2013-11-10,9743925,Adrienne,"Ginger had the PERFECT spot for my guest; clean accommodations, convenient location, extremely friendly host! This is a great space for anyone looking to spend a busy weekend in the heart of the city. "
1741604,8734352,2013-11-14,3239302,Ingrid,Ginger was an amazing host! She was there to answer all our questions and helped us with everything we needed. The apartment was really nice and the location was walking distance from nice bars and food trucks.
1741604,8772197,2013-11-17,4601978,Patrick,We enjoyed our stay in Ginger's apartment. It was clean and comfortable with great light and ventilation. Easy access to E. Austin and the riverfront trail! I'd recommend this property. 
1741604,8889157,2013-11-24,18958,Natasha,Ginger was very easy to communicate with. I had the pleasure of staying for 2 nights - the room looked (and smelled) brand new. Loved her decor - would definitely book this place again the next time I'm in Austin. Plus it's super convenient to Dirty 6th!
1741604,8934368,2013-11-26,147034,Jenny,"Very clean & comfortable. The only thing worth mentioning for those considering staying here--it wasn't very soundproof. We could hear the people downstairs talking, playing music, etc. They weren't doing so at odd hours or anything however. Also, it's walkable to downtown, but only if the conditions are right--i.e. not in November when it's freezing! :-) "
1741604,9002161,2013-12-01,2905011,Harriet,"Ginger is gracious and attentive host the room is brand new, immaculate, and well appointed.  We needed an East Austin get away and it was perfect. We have booked again. Quiet neighborhood, lots of character and very close to bike trails, food trucks, parks,  urban Austin scene, etc"
1741604,9847268,2014-01-13,11202816,Timothy,Had a great time and will definitely come again
1741604,9915723,2014-01-19,9798138,Andrew,"Ginger's apartment is a hidden east Austin surprise. New, *clean* and convenient. Yes, there are downstairs neighbors as well as typical east austin neighborhood dog & traffic noise, but the neighbors were respectful of my early morning departure and quite pleasant. I'll book again!"
1741604,10011145,2014-01-25,11137187,Michelle,"The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Private entrance through the alley, with neighbors near by. I stayed here a week during the winter and spent a lot of time cozy in the warm bed. I would recommend this apartment!"
1741604,10084177,2014-01-29,846139,Bryan,"The apartment was really clean and seemed newly built.  Very pleasant with lots of light, and the bed was very comfortable.  Ginger was easy to communicate with.  I would stay here again."
1741604,10208443,2014-02-06,9798138,Andrew,Another excellent stay at Ginger's apartment. Thank you Ginger!
1741604,10256212,2014-02-09,3827663,Kristen,I had a great time in Austin for the weekend and this one bedroom apartment was perfect for my needs. It was very clean and the bed was comfy. I would stay here again! Thanks Ginger! 
1741604,10667322,2014-03-02,593259,LeQuia,"Ginger's Place was great! It was just as advertised and extremely clean.  It still has the new home smell to it. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling in the Austin area. It is very convenient to access of 6th street and right off the hwy.  She was a great host, and even suggested some great restaurants in the area that were delicious! I would stay here again for sure. Thanks Ginger!"
1741604,10774645,2014-03-07,9736613,Anton,This is a great apartment in a quiet area that's very close to downtown Austin (15-minute walk to the convention center or 3-minute bus ride from the stop a block down). Ginger was very friendly and did a great job answering my questions about getting around the area.
1741604,11030287,2014-03-17,7619074,Andy,"Cant fault this apartment. Its conveniently located around 15mins walk from downtown, clean & has bags of character. 

It was my first time in Austin and I booked very last minute. Ginger was prompt with her reply's, helpful and accommodating when my flight was delayed. Would definitely recommend and plan to stay again when I next visit Texas."
1741604,11241212,2014-03-26,475395,Jared,"Ginger was great and very sweet - she was ready for us to show up and assisted us right away. She was very patient while we navigated there, and she even let me pet her lovely dog, which is always a plus in my book. 

The place was great - central, clean, safe, and incidentally two blocks from a friend I was visiting! If we return to Austin, we'll definitely be chatting up Ginger again. Thank you, Ginger!"
1741604,11616146,2014-04-09,12536688,Christie,Ginger was a great host! She was out of town when we arrived but made sure that her friend that was house sitting was there to call and give us the key. The apartment itself was super cute and really relaxing and in a great location. Walkable to 6th street and downtown and a park on the river. We will definitely stay there again if we come back to Austin!
1741604,11719829,2014-04-13,10402872,Adrian,"Ginger's place was great, super clean, convenient and a great location. You're close to the river so there's a great trail nearby to go running as well. She made it easy and I would definitely look her up again if coming to Austin. "
1741604,11869304,2014-04-17,1623748,Richard,"Ginger's apartment is wonderful. Very clean and comfy.  She had a water heater with lots of tea in a drawer, as well as a small fridge for us to store stuff in. 

She has a wonderful dog, Lizzie, who warmed up to us immediately.  The location is also perfect if you're a foodie being walking distance to so many awesome eateries (Bufalina, Qui, Veracruz, East Side Kings, etc...).  It's also walking distance to Rainey Street."
1741604,12120554,2014-04-23,12867041,Nancy,I always enjoy visiting Austin!  Cielo is a lovely and comfortable room with full bath with deck and parking space.  Ginger is a friendly and hospitable hostess and the tenants downstairs are charming.  The location is central with lots of terrific eateries within walking distance.  I would not hesitate to stay here again!  
1741604,12546183,2014-05-05,2705895,Nichole,"El Cielo Room is such a beautiful place to stay!  There is a total serenity about the place from the green walls to all the natural light, we loved being there and feeling zen.  It is all new and very clean and tastefully decorated.  The neighborhood is so quiet for sleeping and yet just a short bike ride or walk to the river and downtown so it's an ideal location.  Ginger was also a great host, answering our questions regarding renting bikes and cabs and being helpful and detailed.  She also had teas and coffee all ready for us in the apartment when we arrived, which was such a nice touch!  The place has an electric tea pot and small fridge so we were able to have breakfasts there as well.  "
1741604,12868784,2014-05-12,15108756,Olivia,"Really nice, peaceful place in the heart of Austin's very cool east side neighborhood. I  rented the space for my mom for Mother's Day and she loved it!"
1741604,13011476,2014-05-17,12072642,Jeroen,We had a lovely time staying with Ginger. Everyone was very friendly including her lovely dog! The apartment was incredibly comfy! We would definitely recommend Ginger's house as a place to stay :).
1741604,13284297,2014-05-24,2848554,Per & Rachael,"This was an absolutely beautiful and cozy little space to stay in. It is small and simple, but clean, tasteful, and with great light, shady trees, and a relaxed, homey feel. We stayed for two nights and were able to walk to nearby places to eat. 

We didn't get to meet Ginger, but her downstairs neighbor was really friendly and helpful (bonus!). Ginger was great with communication and the place was clean when we arrived. We would stay here again. "
1741604,14903338,2014-06-29,1175846,Jere,I stayed in Cielo Room for 5 weeks and liked it very much.  The apartment is comfortable and gets good light.  It's a mile or so east of downtown Austin and an easy walk to Rainey Street.  The neighborhood is quiet and there's a good cafe--Cenote--a few blocks west.  Ginger is a friendly and responsive host.  She also keeps a beautiful garden!  A definite winner.
1741604,16552475,2014-07-29,474282,Kyle,Ginger was a gracious host and her little place is beautiful. A relaxing and cool refuge from the hot Texas summer. Thanks for having me!
1741604,19036252,2014-09-05,18160556,Emily,"Ginger was a lovely host! We loved our room! It was a GREAT location, very clean, very comfortable, all around lovely. Thank you again, Ginger.  "
1741604,19237551,2014-09-08,48708,Tracie,"Ginger's place is the perfect getaway for a couple. The apartment felt bright and airy, and it was very quiet, clean and cozy. We got great sleep because the bed was super comfortable!

Ginger communicated to us very early and often and it was helpful, we had no trouble finding the place.

The neighborhood is really cute. We loved that restaurants and bars were walkable. We got away with not renting a car and it was very easy to get around town - it's a short walk to the bike share rack. Also it's a great running route down and around Town Lake.  We will definitely be back soon!"
1741604,19669419,2014-09-16,433331,Kimberly,Another great Airbnb experience! Ginger was extremely helpful in answering my questions about Austin before we arrived. She was quick to respond to all communications. Her directions to find the apt were very clear and check-in was easy. The apt looks exactly as pictured and it was absolutely perfect for my bf and me. Great location and wonderful host!
1741604,19831000,2014-09-19,13024553,Timothy,"Ginger's Cielo Room was exactly what I was looking for, a quiet sanctuary tucked away in a friendly neighborhood within walking distance of downtown! There was a choice: just let yourself in and make yourself at home or a nice personal welcome accompanied by a wonderful  aroma of an herbal concoction brewing."
1741604,20146204,2014-09-24,73119,Emily & Matt,"We had a wonderful stay at Ginger's! The apartment was bright, clean and quiet -- exactly what we were hoping for after long days spent at Fantastic Fest. Ginger was really helpful and quick to respond to all of our emails, and we got to meet her incredibly sweet pup Lizzie. 

We really enjoyed exploring the surrounding East Austin neighbourhood. While it's a little rough around the edges here and there, it's really quite eclectic and there are lots of great bars, food trucks, restaurants and shops in the area. We'd definitely stay here again the next time we visit!"
1741604,20269293,2014-09-26,2946187,Shanying,"Very clean and comfortable, great location (within walking distance to the river and the hip east Austin restaurants / bars / coffee places). Place was private and had all the amenities we needed. Thanks Ginger!"
1741604,20360465,2014-09-28,5622104,Nick,"In for a wedding weekend, and the space was perfect.  Spotless, well-designed, and everything you need!  Just a few blocks from a really nice waterfront (email hidden)eat for running.  Solidly residential area, but still able to walk to lunch, coffee, and more.  Thanks!"
1741604,20625037,2014-10-02,4702788,Ian,"We had an amazing time. The room is quiet, private and comfortable. Definitely centrally located -- we walked home from dinners and drinks a few nights. We got some great dining advice from the neighbors too! Thanks Ginger!"
1741604,20811783,2014-10-06,1487733,Kristen,"The listing was accurate. The space was a cute bedroom and bath, ""in the trees"" in the cool east Austin neighboehood. We were conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. Ginger left us the key and we came and went with privacy. We had a super stay and would recommend  her as a host. She also communicated with us in advance of our stay with everything we needed. "
1741604,21043888,2014-10-10,1017964,Stephanie,The listing was exactly as advertised. It was a wonderful clean private room and bathroom tucked away in a quiet East Austin area within walking distance of some good food options and fairly close to downtown. Ginger let me know many days in advance of how to get to her place and how to get the key. Very smooth interaction through and through. I had a great stay and would highly recommend this space. 
1741604,21192703,2014-10-13,9140388,Tim,"Ginger's place was a perfect little Austin oasis in a quiet but convenient part of town.  Didn't get to meet Ginger personally, but the coordination was perfect.  The space was clean and cozy.  There was even an iron and ironing board in the room.  Great perk and very appreciated.  Highly recommend."
1741604,21658196,2014-10-21,20449953,Shua,"Stayed at this little gem for 6 nights. It was perfect. Great location, comfortable bed. Totally accessible to all Austin has to offer.  This property doesn't have a tv, but it worked out fine as we brought the laptop and just used the complimentary WIFI to access Netflix. All and all...a total success!"
1741604,22101436,2014-10-30,8091234,Carol,A very comfortable and spacious upstair apartment that is within walking distance from downtown Austin. Would highly recommend to anyone who visits the Austin area! 
1741604,22287318,2014-11-03,5006331,Michele,"Staying at Gingers was home from home,  everything was perfect. Great location to walk into town, or feeling lazy its on a good bus route.  Ginger is lovely & Lizzy is just so gorgeous.  Listing reflects the accommodation perfectly. You won't go wrong staying here.   We will most definitely return."
1741604,22412175,2014-11-05,872426,Anna,Like a bedroom treehouse in an interesting neighbourhood. We liked Tamale House East for breakfast.
1741604,22457969,2014-11-07,17719508,Joanna,"Lovely apartment and perfect for what we needed. Location is close to 6th street and easy to walk. Ginger kept in communication leading up to our stay and gave great directions on how to find the apartment (it's just tucked away off the main road). Would definitely recommend. Just as a watch out in Austin, we struggled to get a taxi as we didn't have a local phone number they could call us back on. "
1741604,22575590,2014-11-10,2126874,James Dean,"The Cielo room was quiet, spacious, bright, super clean and elegant.
It's just off a side street down a quiet alley. There are other neighbors so it feels very safe yet private.
Ginger was very accommodating.

Highly recommend renting a bike - Austin is a fantastic biking city.
Cenote   (website hidden)
nearby on Cesar Chavez is a wonderful coffee and dining spot."
1741604,22893736,2014-11-17,1210314,Jessica,Convenient and comfy. Perfect place to rest in between all the great sights Austin has to offer. Great communication even though we never got to meet! Thanks for having us.
1741604,22986527,2014-11-19,11562919,Beth,"The room was very nice, bright and spacious. We enjoyed the neighbourhood and the proximity to Austin.

We never met Ginger and she didn't respond to a request we sent during our stay."
1741604,23084291,2014-11-22,319896,Erin,"This place was perfect. Great quiet location. Bright, clean and cheery and it had everything  needed for my short rainy stay. I will be back in the area hopefully again soon and I recommend this place. Ginger was great in communication with a quick welcoming response."
1741604,23239808,2014-11-26,5243841,Michelle,The place was great and very clean! It looked exactly like the description. Ginger provided us with the wifi password which was so useful since we were constantly looking up things to do. Neighborhood was a great location in close proximity to Rainey Street and South Congress area where we spent most of our time. A parking space is provided which is great if you decide to rent a car.
1741604,23340782,2014-11-29,7056393,Katie,"Ginger's place was exactly as described, and was a perfect place for my stay. The flat was light and airy, and the neighborhood was lively, and central to all the Austin highlights, and very close to downtown. Ginger was very accommodating, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure I had everything I needed, even though I checked in on a holiday. I would definitely recommend the Cielo Room!"
1741604,23748184,2014-12-09,13205241,Rianne,Ginger was fast at replying and more than happy to help us out with any questions we had. The room was comfortable and all we needed- enjoyed the expresso machine! We really enjoyed our stay in Austin!
1741604,24085542,2014-12-19,20809034,Amanda,"We enjoyed our stay at the Cielo Room! It was exactly as expected--a bright, open room perfect for 2 people. The neighborhood was quiet, very close to downtown and walking paths. We especially enjoyed friendly greetings from Lizzie, the world's friendliest dog, each time we came and went."
1741604,24269665,2014-12-24,5723787,Alice,Really cute little place with Lizzy the dog as the best welcoming committee. We had a great stay! Thank you!
1741604,24922358,2015-01-04,22263211,Anat,"The room was exactly as described, bright airy and quiet. It was really nice to have those extra ameneties like coffee, tea, milk and water and an already heated room...all indicate a host that cares.
Overall our stay was great, awesome location, we walked everywhere from there and Ginger was great about being flexible as well as helping us out with a taxi service recommendation.
Highly recommended!!
"
1741604,25115328,2015-01-06,25174983,Ben,"Ginger was very responsive, helpful and an excellent host overall. We highly recommend staying at the Cielo Room."
1741604,25278240,2015-01-11,62241,Keenan,Great location in Austin. Easy to find restaurants and nightlife nearby. House was clean and easy to access. 
1741604,25494615,2015-01-18,23301567,Tracy,"It was a nice and quiet neighborhood, clean and lovely room! We were able to walk everywhere we wanted! Would definitely stay again."
1741604,25599985,2015-01-20,5009048,Tracey,"This was our first stop on our grand road trip adventure from San Diego, ca through the Gulf Coast. We arrived really late at night so it was wonderful to be met with such a cozy place. We loved Gingers sweet little apartment!  The place sits high up amidst the trees so it gives the feeling of being in a tree house! The apartment is bright and fresh with lots of sunny windows but privacy at the same time.  We loved our daily visits from Lizzie, the sweetest doggie ever. If our door was open she would just come in and hang out. So fun! Great neighborhood,  close to downtown and SoCo. Comfortable bed, everything you need for morning coffee or tea, fluffy bath towels and so quiet. We will return some Spring when the trees are fuller. Can't wait!"
1741604,25748151,2015-01-25,25068920,Megan,The Cielo Room was a great value for my husband and I. The room was very clean and was bright and welcoming. We met Ginger and she was warm and friendly to us both. The location is convenient and the separate access makes it feel just like your own little space. We will definitely stay in the Cielo Room again when we visit Austin again!
1741604,25884144,2015-01-28,15461499,Eric,"A very nice, bright, cheerful room on the 2nd floor - just as the photos show! Very comfortable and welcoming after a long trip. Walkable distance to the city center, but one of the main roads is just a block or two away and you can jump on buses. Ginger was very professional, responsive, and seems like lovely personality! The room is a bit awkward to get to upon first look, but save and follow Ginger's directions step-by-step and you'll be okay."
1741604,26098078,2015-02-03,9092337,Stuart,"The place was very well organized and Ginger was responsive and helpful in getting us directions to the place and in once we arrived.  The location is absolutely awesome with walking distance to all of the highlights around east 6th and more.  The place was rather cold unfortunately as there wasn't much for a heater, but this is likely due to the unseasonably cold weather we experienced while there.  All and all a good experience."
1741604,26176261,2015-02-06,22695810,Tom,We had a very nice two night stay at Ginger's apartment.  It was comfortable and affordable and very convenient to the places we wanted to go in Austin.
1741604,26351266,2015-02-10,3480227,Fah,"The room was great - spacious with kitchen counter and fridge. The place was spacious than we thought. Lizzie the doggie was a nice bonus, greeted us every morning. The location is a 10 mins walk to trendy Rainey Street and the East End, and a block away from the delish Veracruz taco truck. Taxi's are reliable and we even took the bus to downtown – the stop is convenient to the house."
1741604,26435377,2015-02-12,27264229,Abel,"Totally disappointed when we arrived, the yard needed lot's of TLC. Grass as tall as my knees, uneven ground, room for accidents.  The dog, although not harmful, extreme loud in bark, not allowing for rest at night and early morning hours.  No TV, what! Not in the USA. Well did live without it.  Room clean, carpet dirty, no stove or microwave.  O for drive-by sleep and shower location, not for stay, relax, enjoy city visit.  Sorry too critical. Not recommended.  "
1741604,26591144,2015-02-16,12472354,Courtney,"The room was as expected and accommodating.  It was everything you need if you're planning on being out and about in Austin all day. The location is not super close to the downtown, but it's good to be in if you want to explore East Austin, which is one of the hippest neighborhoods in the city.  It's a great opportunity to stay in a cool area where there aren't many hotels yet, but there are a lot of great bars and restaurants. We were able to get to everywhere we needed to go in Austin either by walking or taking Uber. "
1741604,27043700,2015-02-24,8816062,Rebecca,"The suite is as pictured and was a great home base for my stay in Austin. Lizzy the dog was always welcoming, which was lovely while traveling alone. She is well trained and stayed out of the apartment, since I didn't invite her in, but always greeted me when she was in the yard and only barked when I left. Ginger was a great and responsive host, answering any questions that I had and was flexible with my arrival (as my flights were changed on me quite a bit that day). One thing to note for solo travellers, I felt a lot more comfortable exploring the neighbourhood once I rented a bike. The apartment is far enough from the hub of restaurants and activity on E 6 St that I didn't feel entirely comfortable walking on my own at night. No problems once I got a bike though, and there was a safe spot in the backyard to lock it up at night. It is really close to the waterfront pathway system and other bikeways to easily get around town. "
1741604,27203940,2015-02-28,19134750,Lauren,"The Cielo Room was a lovely, tidy space just as described. Ginger was very communicative and helpful before and during my stay; she even helped me find the right bus lines to her place. 

The room was very comfortable and is in a great location to explore the East Austin. It's easy to walk to entertainment areas around 6th or Rainey Street, and the 17 bus that runs through downtown was just a few blocks away. 

There was also an unexpected bonus of a coffee maker and supplies as well as some additional amenities. Overall, a great space for relaxing after exploring Austin."
1741604,27537757,2015-03-07,6909701,Brielle,"Ginger set the space really well, offered extra blankets when the weather got cold, and was flexible with my check-out.  The space we very clean and comfortable, too.  The location is super close to the central hot spots. I recommend booking this studio."
1741604,28295276,2015-03-22,5230449,Diana,"This place was a god send for SXSW. While other places were charging 300-400$ a night, ginger was lovely enough to only charge $170 and it included a parking spot.  The place is small but is comparable to a hotel room: bed, 2 chairs, mini fridge, coffee maker, bathtub and shower.  It was a 20 min walk to the convention center and located in an area you can get to before traffic hits.  Tons of restaurant and bars in the neighborhood as well as music venues if you are interested in the sxsw music scene. 

 Someone before me complained about the unkempt yard and though it isn't a traditionally maintained yard, it isnt bad at all and her dog Lizzie didn't bark the whole time!  The bathroom is clean and new so that made me happy. 

Great place and thank you so much for charging us at reasonable price for such an amazingly located spot. I hope the rate stays the same for next sx! 

Some tips that might make the stay better: maybe some black out curtains.  The place has great natural lighting but the sun is killer in the morning and it increases the heat in the room. "
1741604,28521022,2015-03-25,20355219,Mark,"We really enjoyed staying here in Austin. The apartment is a 15 minute walk in to town and to the bars and food trucks on 6th street.

The apartment itself was nice and clean and extremely comfortable. "
1741604,28596107,2015-03-27,21587809,Marla,Great location and a very nice room. Enjoyed my time there and would recommend the room to others!
1741604,28703759,2015-03-29,15823120,Keith,"The Cielo Room will work out great for a low maintenance couple who does not mind the funky, East Austin vibe or no frills accommodations. 

Positives: Ginger was a great, unintrusive host, parking and getting in and out of the apartment were easy, her dog Lizzie was sweet, the apartment's furnishings and decor were nice and clean, and the location is close to downtown and anything else in Austin you could want to do/see. 

Negatives: the neighborhood is not the safest/cleanest, Ginger's home and backyard is quite overgrown and unkempt (charm for some, but an eye sore for most), the apartment's A/C is a small wall unit that will most likely not be able to stand up to the Texas heat (not an issue for us in March), and her dog and neighbors' dogs barked at all times of the day and late into the night keeping us up and making it difficult to get a full night's rest."
1741604,29115970,2015-04-04,1613169,Shelley,"The Cielo Room was exactly as listed and looks just like the photos. This is a great apartment in a perfect central part of Austin. The room was very clean, with a/c, internet, parking, etc. Ginger and I didn't interact much in person, but she was very responsive via text leading up to checking-in and during the stay. I would definitely stay here again."
1741604,29819558,2015-04-13,19334110,Alex,Cielo Room was beyond expectations. Beautiful east Austin location walking distance to great bars and restaurants. The room is super clean and nicer than most hotels. Highly recommend Ginger and Cielo Room and we will definitely be back!
1741604,30066464,2015-04-17,26313745,Lauren,"I stayed at Ginger's place for four days while on a business trip. It's in a nice, friendly neighborhood close to lots of great restaurants, coffee shops, etc. and downtown is a super quick walk or bike ride away. The place was easy to find when following the easy directions that she provides. Her dog, Lizzie, is a sweetie and if you're not a dog lover she just might turn you into one. The room was clean and comfortable and smelled good (which is very important!) and the sheets, bedding, and pillows were soft and cozy. I brought my own electric kettle so I could have tea and oatmeal and was surprised to see that one was already provided - a nice plus! Ginger was very unobtrusive and the couple of times that I did run into her in passing, she was very kind and friendly. Overall, my stay was comfortable and convenient and well-priced. Highly recommend staying here!"
1741604,30546283,2015-04-24,16543143,Daniel,"My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our six-day stay at the Cielo Room. The room was private, clean and quiet. Ginger’s dog Lizzie was in the yard a few times during our visit and was super friendly (just say her name and she melts). There are plenty of funky places to eat and drink within walking distance from the room. We were without a car, thinking we would supplement walking with Car2Go or Uber to get around, but we were very pleasantly surprised at how convenient public transit was to the neighborhood and how easy it was to use a smartphone to purchase and use daily transit passes. We did not meet Ginger, but she was very responsive to our text messages. We would definitely stay at the Cielo Room again."
1741604,30760643,2015-04-27,26441951,Kate,"We really enjoyed our stay. It was clean, private, and a perfect home base for our trip. We loved getting to know the neighborhood."
1741604,31164916,2015-05-03,26324716,Eva,"My boyfriend and I stayed at the Cielo Room for 5 nights as we visited Austin. The Cielo Room is in a great location. It lies just outside the main spots in East Austin and a little further but about a 20 min walk from great spots closer to the main parts of the city (West Austin). Ginger was a great host let us do our thing but said hello on our first night and introduced herself. She takes care of her place and it shows. She has got some amenities like coffee and a mini fridge to help make your travels a bit easier. There were hangers there for our clothes which was perfect. Lizzie was adorable and greeted us at the gate every morning to say hello. I would not have minded an additional towel or two as we had 3 for two people so not even two each, but that was hardly an issue. The area was sweet and did not seem unsafe at any point. In a few comments below there was a mention that the neighbor hood had quite a few dogs that barked and a recommendation for ear plugs. I love dogs but this was on point, they were a bit loud in the mornings so we had to use our ear plugs. Over all the experience was wonderful and if we come back to Austin we would love to stay at the Cielo Room again and recommend it for your stays to keep it economical as you explore what Austin has to offer."
1741604,31932722,2015-05-12,11023504,Blakely,"We really enjoyed our stay here. The place is very clean, well decorated, and has great A/C, wifi, water pressure, etc. It was one block away from a great 24 hour mexican restaurant, plus a few other food trucks. There are a couple of great bars about 4-5 blocks away too. And thanks to Uber, you can get downtown for about $5! 

The only cons are the bed and the neighbors. The bed was pretty comfortable, but could stand to be replaced soon. And you can very clearly hear the downstairs neighbors when they come home at 2am. Ear plugs would probably fix this just fine, but it is worth noting. But I'd say the Brita pitcher in the fridge made up for all of this!

We'll definitely consider staying here when we come back next year!"
1741604,32163606,2015-05-15,28400977,Jes,"The cielo room was absolutely wonderful. The location was great - close to downtown by foot and car. The neighborhood is adorable and being renovated all around. Great food and nightlife options nearby, but also close enough to walk downtown or take a few minutes drive to see more of the city. Ginger was more than accommodating, and what you've read is right - her dog is the sweetest! I would completely recommend Ginger's place to anyone heading to the Austin area!"
1741604,32684428,2015-05-20,29523597,John,"This location worked out very nicely for me. The apartment was clean and as described, and Ginger was very responsive. Very pleased. "
1741604,33069713,2015-05-25,13460616,Cherie,"Really enjoyed my stay in Ginger's cielo room. It's clean, cute, and well located in the heart of bustling east Austin area. It's fun to explore the neighborhood and a easy walk to tons of great eats, bars and shops! I only met Ginger briefly but she was so warm and nice to talk to.  During my stay she had also been really  helpful and accommodating. I wish to return in the future and hopefully the weather would be better! "
1741604,33589605,2015-05-30,20865907,Cornelia,"Ginger was amazing with correspondence and helpful information especially regarding how to find the apartment!  Thank you.  

The apartment was as true to the photos, clean and comfortable.  And very quiet.

Easy walk to public transportation and only a 25 minute walk to downtown."
1741604,33991402,2015-06-03,30364180,Luna,Ginger was an amazing host! The Cielo room was beautiful and set up just like it was described. She even offered us her toaster oven.  It was close walking distance to downtown and iyummy eateries like Mr. Natural and New Orleans Seafood & Poboy. We will be staying here again very soon! 
1741604,35547728,2015-06-20,30364180,Luna,Great time in the Cielo room! Thanks Ginger!
1741604,36001529,2015-06-24,2167216,Mel,"The Cielo room was as described and very tidely presented. The parking spot right outside and at the bottom of the stairs was superb. We were lucky enough to meet Ginger and her lovely dog (probably the most placid animal we've ever met). 

Check in and out were both super easy. 

The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe to wander, with some great little dinner and breakfast spots a short walk or drive away. We even walked into the city centre one day, only took about half an hour.

Loved it and would recommend."
1741604,36256892,2015-06-27,3401799,Danielle,"Lizzie, the sweetest dog, greeted us and we fell in love with her and Ginger's place immediately. Lush greenery surrounds an immaculately clean apartment that gets lots of light and is decorated in soothing colors. If the neighborhood wasn't equally as amazing, I might have spent the whole time relaxing in the apartment, which is located in the heart of a cool neighborhood with lots of delicious food options and bars. It's a very quick ride to downtown. If I'm ever back in Austin, I'll definitely stay here again!"
1741604,36646005,2015-06-29,6368912,Neal,The host canceled this reservation 261 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

1741604,37200952,2015-07-05,22777132,Roshawnda,"This was our first tine using Airbnb. We had an awesome stay at the Cielo Room and will most definitely be back. The location was conveniently located and in walking distance to several stores, restaurant and downtown. One thing to note ia that the room did not have an iron but we borrowed Gingers so it wasn't a hardship at all. Great weekend getaway.

I seem to always struggle with hot water and weak water pressure when staying in hotels. OMG, the water temperature and pressure at I the Cielo Room was perfect I could have stayed in the shower all day long. It's a personal preference but it's meant a lot.

Thank you Ginger for a great stay and in making our first Airbnb experience a great one."
1741604,37576147,2015-07-08,11552294,Nadia,"Room was exactly as described, really clean and lovely. Good AC for a Texas summer. I loved East Austin and it was really easy to get everywhere with an Uber or a bus ride. Great little shops and restaurants close by - including Franklin's BBQ! Have the owner's sweet dog welcome us home every day was an added bonus. "
1741604,37839095,2015-07-11,27791589,Anna & Richard,"This was the coolest airbnb we've ever stayed in! The lovely room is above the trees in a quiet alley. Everything is clean and perfect and we were greeted by a very cute dog. With 6th Street only a couple of blocks away and cool bars and cafes nearby, you really can't get a better location. Would absolutely stay there again!"
1741604,38720507,2015-07-18,24539783,Romina,"Ginger's place was fantastic! Clean and cosy, absolutely perfect for our stay in Austin! It's close to cool bars and all other hip East Austin locales, but it's also quiet and private, which made it perfect for me and my husband. I didn't get to meet Ginger, but everything went so smoothly and she was super helpful our whole stay. Would recommend! "
1741604,39113415,2015-07-20,19803273,Jacob,"The 2nd story apartment was quaint and within walking distance to several establishments on Cesar Chavez. We had a private entrance with parking. Ginger left ear plugs, but we didn't need them at all. The coffee was a perfect to start the day, and the mini fridge totally met our needs. Great experience. "
1741604,39391585,2015-07-23,30364180,Luna,Sweet treehouse oasis! Nice doggy too! We will be back!

1741604,41922286,2015-08-10,29455736,Zachary,"Amazing place! It's located about a mile away from the Austin Convention center, down a little back alley about two blocks down from the main street. The apartment is small and cozy, comes equipped with mini-fridge, tv, coffee maker, cups, and a full bathroom!

The location is nice, and Ginger is amazing! She has an adorable doggie nammed Lizzie that greeted us on the second day of our trip and was a little ball of love, always willing to exchange some licks for pets!"
1741604,42372079,2015-08-13,12684134,Mikayla,"Our stay with Ginger was great. The apartment has excellent air conditioning which was definitely needed in the Texas heat. The place looks exactly like the photos. You can walk to 6th Street, Rainey St, South Congress etc. however we often used Uber, it was cheap and air conditioned. Overall an excellent stay in Austin - Lizzie, the dog, is super friendly. "
1741604,43025643,2015-08-17,30364180,Luna,Beautiful treehouse close to the Launderette and other gems. Stay here when you come to Austin!
1741604,44410998,2015-08-26,30364180,Luna,"We enjoyed being Ginger's tenants! It was fun walking to the Launderette for dinner and  hanging out at Cenote for breakfast! When we come back to Austin we will visit the Cielo room. Thanks for your hospitality Ginger!

1741604,45516836,2015-09-03,40995704,Allison,This was our first time using Airbnb and it was great! Ginger's 2nd story apartment that we rented for 3 days was exactly like the photos. It was clean and quiet and comfortable. The location was great! We walked to downtown to explore Austin easily every day from here.
1741604,45790384,2015-09-06,13711631,Jamie,Great space with easy check in/check out. Very convenient to have a parking spot. Ginger was great at quick and friendly communication. 
1741604,46402251,2015-09-10,3567608,Meg,"The room was great! Cozy, clean, nicely decorated, and enough space for the two of us. The location is perfect to walk to a few close coffee shops or restaurants or bike to just about anywhere else. We parked our car right downstairs. Everything went smoothly and am looking forward to renting it again! "
1741604,46702256,2015-09-13,6348793,Nikolai,"Communication, arrival, stay and departure worked perfectly. Ginger provides fast WIFI in her small but cosy apartment. Thanks Ginger, we would come back any time! "
1741604,47102419,2015-09-15,25513308,Carrissa,Ginger was a fantastic host. I was super tired after my overnight flight so i asked her if I could check in ahead of time. She replied me immediately and made it work even though it was last minute. The room is very clean and comfortable. Lizzie is a sweet dog and greeted us with licks whenever we entered the gate. 
1741604,47247547,2015-09-17,4825676,Derek,We arrived a bit early but were  able to leave our stuff.  Neighbourhood is a bit rundown but if you are fit you can walk to downtown.  Some appliances are really noisy e.g. Refrigerator and fan.  Supplying earplugs doesn't really cut it.
1741604,48120858,2015-09-23,43710213,Dane,"The Cielo room was great! Perfect for my mom and I when we stayed in Austin. Everything is as pictured, and the location is really close to everything; we never had to travel too far to find something to do. The air is really cool and the shower was really hot, a great combo for Texas! This was my first Airbnb experience, and because of Ginger it will surely not be my last! She was quick to respond to even the smallest things, and I'd definitely recommend her place. Thanks Ginger!"
1741604,48871323,2015-09-29,19235181,Corey,"Location was exactly what we were looking for. Easy driving distance to all the places we wanted to go. Definitely need a car if you have alterations to go outside of downtown. Bring a sleep mask if you're used to blackout curtains.

Host was available when we had any issues. Would come back here again. We had a lot of fun."
1741604,49143237,2015-10-01,7615736,Andy & Maria,"Ginger's space is very private and pleasant. The location was perfect-- in a nice, quiet neighborhood yet close to the river/hike trail so I didn't need a car. The trail is great for a morning run and easy access to downtown and South Congress street. Will stay here again."
1741604,49420214,2015-10-04,31685125,Vanessa,Adorable!  Loved the apartment!  10 minute walk to Rainey Street and 4 minute walk to bars on East 6th.  Very convenient location!  Really liked that the apartment had it's own alley entrance.

1741604,50860616,2015-10-15,16967304,Julia,"The location was awesome! We drove everywhere, because it was hot, but it was very convenient to most things and having a parking spot was great! Great AC and Internet was good. The room was as pictured, very cozy! Clean bathroom and the kitchenette area was nice. Check in was easy. The keyes were dropped off as promised. Would definitely stay there again!!! "
1741604,51260359,2015-10-19,15236714,Eric,"Very easy check in and check out. Diverse location just outside of downtown. Lizzie greeted me a couple times, which was great. The apartment had everything I needed. Bed is a little firm. "
1741604,51623663,2015-10-22,5051770,Joy,"We had no problems finding the place. Ginger's instructions were very clear.  The location is excellent, and the parking space very convenient. Contrary to others, we did not find it noisy and didn't need to use any ear plugs. The room was clean and more than enough space for 2 people. The only negative was the bed wasn't comfortable. "

It was also easy and a pleasure to rent from Ginger. Also her dog Lizzie is very sweet. As a side note, I rented a bike which was great for getting around town."
8603569,49862331,2015-10-06,40822652,Carmen,"Amy accommodated us last minute for ACL and was amazing! She went above and beyond with any question or concern we had. They even provided donuts and orange juice in the morning. The room was exactly what we needed and we were provided with clean sheets, pillow covers, and towels upon our arrival. The tv and private bathroom gave us all the privacy we needed. "
980424,10999635,2014-03-17,8671540,Sam,"Stayed from March 8 - 16 during SXSW. Great house, great location. Short walk to downtown and around the corner from a variety of cool East Austin food trucks, restaurants, and bars. Very clean, modestly sized but excellent use of space made staying with eight people surprisingly comfortable. Beautiful backyard, great porch, comfortable couches, big screen TV, and Netflix / Hulu / etc made occasional downtime a pleasure. Jeremy was very helpful with finding the best local food and drink and left some great snacks and beers for our arrival. Would stay again."

We appreciated the little details including the welcoming snacks and information about Austin. It was easy to get around town, and the neighborhood was very walkable. We would definitely stay here again. "
980424,31314617,2015-05-04,28391272,Adam,"Jeremy was a great help in coordinating my trip from top to bottom. He was extremely responsive to my questions about the house, the area and some must do's in the area. 

The house is surprisingly spacious and had enough bedding/towels to host 12 guys for a weekend in Austin. The walk wasn't too bad to the downtown area - whether you wanted to head out on Rainey Street or scope out the crowd on 6th. If you didn't feel like walking, Uber and Lyft rides were available within minutes. 

Enjoy your stay. 
"
980424,35074644,2015-06-15,25355993,Josh,"Our host was great. He left a very detailed note for us explaining all of the nearby amenities, house details and instructions. It was very clean, well located and spacious.  The listing was accurate, the pictures slightly different from the current furniture, but of no consequence. The neighbors were great. They were so happy to help us find our way around.  Jeremy was extremely responsive, polite and helpful. "
980424,38105465,2015-07-13,26796818,Sam,"This house was a fantastic base of operations for my friend's bachelor party trip to Austin. We had a pretty sizable group but we all fit comfortably. There was plenty of space to hang out inside the house as well as out back, and we were able to walk to a bunch of cool spots in east downtown Austin (White Horse Tavern, La Barbecue which lived up to nearly impossible expectations!) as well as Rainey Street and the main drag on 6th Street. Ladybird Lake isn't far either, if you're looking for a nice run. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and Jeremy was a great, responsive and flexible host."
980424,38989304,2015-07-20,27439432,Ray,Great house for our group. Plenty of beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. Within walking distance or very short cab ride of several good restaurants and bars. Clean house that worked perfectly for a weekend out of town.
980424,39930144,2015-07-27,28881321,Rachelle,"We could not have asked for better accomodations for our weekend. The house was spacious, and inviting. We were just a short uber ride from downtown, which was so convenient.  Jeremy was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had."
980424,46134368,2015-09-08,37276696,Austin,"Jeremy and the house were both top notch. Jeremy was accessible, quickly replied to all our questions, and left us some great insider information about places to go in the neighborhood. 
The house was exactly what we expected from listing. The backyard area was a fantastic place to hang out in the evening, have a drink, listen to some music, and play some bean bags. There was plenty of room for our group to sleep and all the beds and linens were nice. 
The neighborhood was fantastic. At night, we were a short walk from plenty of great bars that had live music. During the day, we could walk to a bunch of different places to eat and get coffee. There are also multiple food truck lots close to the house where we ate.  Convinent location as we were also a short drive/uber from the whole city and Rainey St was a walk away. Jeremy also provided an uber coupon which was a nice touch. 
Overall, we had a great time and the house and host were both excellent. "
4916270,28005095,2015-03-16,1139822,Tim,"Thomas was an outstanding host. After reservation was confirmed, we had a quick (and fun/friendly) chat to discuss details - basically, he wanted to be prepared for our visit and asked what he could do to make our arrival the best. It worked! 

He was super communicative and flexible with timing. He took us through the house, answering all questions before we had to ask. He provided complementary beverages (for the adults and kids [at heart].) He more than accommodated our group, which was a little larger than normal (bunch of coworkers for a conference.) 

Provided lots of resources (including his phone number) for things to do around Austin. Was available to help any time we needed. 

The house was beautiful, conveniently located, and well equipped (coffee, washer/dryer, bbq/grill, comfy hammock, and so on.) 

We'd visit Thomas, stay in his house, and hang out with him any time in the future without a bit of hesitation. "
4916270,28810222,2015-03-30,28641534,Zachary,"What a great host! If you're coming to Austin, you can't do better than here! Beautiful place, gracious host, easy access to everything... Couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Thomas! "
4916270,29235404,2015-04-05,5324732,Christian,"We had a great time! The place is awesome and has plenty of room. Thomas was a great host, from being flexible with times to providing everything we needed to make it a great experience. He even mailed me back some clothes left in the dryer free of charge! The place was clean and fully stocked. Location is great. It's only a $5 uber away from downtown! The deck with the hammock and lounge chairs is a excellent place to hang out and chill for some down time. Also providing both a charcoal and a natural gas grill is a nice touch. As well as beer and a bottle of wine upon arrival! We would definitely stay here again."
4916270,29824854,2015-04-13,5464298,Ryan,"Wow. Not only was the house even better than we expected, but Thomas was the perfect host. The house was fully-stocked with anything you'd ever need (even a wine aerator), and the location is extremely convenient. Opening the doors to the deck in the morning to be greeted by the sounds of birds, and relaxing in the hammock after a long day out and about were just two highlights. 

Thomas was flexible with our arrival time, and quick to offer recommendations of what to do and where to eat (La Barbecue - do not miss).  If we had any questions, he was quick to text us back.

Our only regret was that we couldn't stay any longer!"
4916270,30237876,2015-04-19,17823379,Viyan,"The best place to stay in Austin! Thomas was an excellent host. He was accommodating to our arrival time and was so welcoming. The fridge was stocked with water, beer, even OJ and milk! Thomas even have us an awesome bottle of wine. His house is exactly like the pictures show. The beds were amazingly comfortable. We felt like we were home! The upstairs patio is spacious and the hammock is a dream! It was unfortunate it was raining during the majority of the weekend but I made it a point to lay on that hammock as soon as the weather cleared on one of the days.  Thomas checked in and made sure everything was okay. I can't express how grateful we were to have found this place. It's an absolute gem and I can't wait to visit again so I can stay there again! "
4916270,30702052,2015-04-26,11784690,Spencer,"Thomas was an absolute delight. By far the best host  I have ever had. The pictures of the property are beautiful, but they 
dont do the house justice. Great location, awesome house and even better owner. I will 100% be coming back again. If you choose to stay somewhere in Austin, stay here. "
4916270,31903468,2015-05-11,1737414,Miyako,"We have stayed for 4 nights at Thomas property.  The house was immaculate with spacious kitchen, bathroom with rain forest shower, plush beds in bedroom.  The rooftop patio area with hammock looks out lush trees that birds are chirping.  Modern yet classy house is the home you can relax and spend chill time with your friends and family.  Thomas greeted us and showed us around the house.  He was very personable and so friendly.  We all enjoyed his house tour.  He has such a style and amazing taste in what he picks.  He stocks up with local gourmet coffee, lone star and bottles of water.  The location is between the river and downtown.  Really convenient.  Hands down I strongly recommend the house.  I definitely stay here again.  "
4916270,32373075,2015-05-17,31464745,Stefanie,"This was my first Airbnb rental, and I couldn't be happier with my experience with this amazing home!  I was running late driving to Austin so Thomas even offered to pick up my brother (who was staying with us) at the airport. The house and the location were perfect. Super close to Rainey St and great restaurants. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Austin. "
4916270,32982674,2015-05-24,30654522,Bhakti,"We met Thomas at check-in where he walked us through his home. He was extremely hospitable and helpful! His home is exactly as photographed. He left us with some refreshments, plenty of towels, and was accessible throughout the weekend if any questions came up. I would recommend this home to anyone! "
4916270,33275833,2015-05-26,31683253,Karol,"I stayed in my first ""glam treehouse"". I can now check that off my to-do list~  We simply adored this place!  So close to everything but tucked away and ever so private.  Absolutely no sounds at night but if you laid in the quality hammock (did I mention it's on the deck immediately outside the master bedroom?), you could hear wonderful birds chirping away and felt you were truly in a treehouse.  

Thomas was as gracious a host as you will ever find.  2 bottles of wine greeted us upon arrival; fresh coffee beans, high quality EVERYTHING:  gas stove, coffee machine, digital tea pot, nice TVs in very room if you r so inclined.  There is even a high-end bar available for your enjoyment~

Privacy gallore!  Frosted windows so you could walk around absolutely naked (again, if you r so inclined:).  Every window looked at trees and he set this place up to not see any neighbors.  Nice! Now let's not forget to mention the bed.  I couldn't get a better bed in a JW Marriott!  Quality foam mattress with good pillows (often forgotten by hosts).  

We had some minor hiccups due to the flooding in TX while we were there (very minor leak) but Thomas was so responsive and even comp't us back some money.  

If you want more, good luck finding it!  I was in ""treehouse heaven""."
4916270,33517061,2015-05-29,31683253,Karol,We extended our stay at Thomas's place since it was so amazing~
4916270,33912492,2015-06-02,12297695,Ryan,"In short: we could not have stayed at a better place in Austin (high end hotels included). If you have found this listing, stop looking because it's the BEST airbnb in all of Austin. Thomas and his wife have clearly put a great amount of thought and effort into creating a gorgeous, clean, and modern guest house. Thomas was always willing to answer our questions and offer help. He was the kindest and most generous host! Even though we were paying customers, we felt like we hit the airbnb jackpot!! Great value, great location, fantastic/generous hosts!"
4916270,34310848,2015-06-07,3729451,Travis,"Highly recommend this place if you are in Austin. The place clean and left with a wonderful tour Thomas gave myself and the people that were staying. Before we arrived he left us two bottles of wine and two cases of beer as a welcoming gift in his home. The wedding we went to was lovely and was a fantastic place to come home to when we were done. Also the shower and the balcony are amazing as well. Highly recommend Thomas and his place, I will be sure to come back if I find myself in Austin again. Thanks! "
4916270,35256281,2015-06-16,7152568,Kristen,"Thomas' Downtown Modern Beautiful Retreat was absolutely fantastic!  Thomas and Sherri were extremely accommodating hosts.  They had beer, wine and a bar set up for us.  When I asked if the house had a yoga mat, they went out and bought one for us to use.  Would totally stay here again.  There are also lots of great new restaurants opening in this area - Bufalina, Launderette, etc.  Very charming!"
4916270,37195687,2015-07-05,30621887,Martin,"Thomas met us at his place, and explained everything, gave us some hints - that was a perfect start to meet austin! The house is premium Level, a lot of details made the stay really convenient. The location is real good, austin is awesome. Thank you, Thomas!"
4916270,38025113,2015-07-12,36568010,Parker,"I am beyond pleased with this listing.  Thomas was an excellent host, and extremely nice and welcoming.  The house was amazing, and all four of us girls were very impressed with all of the amenities.  The second floor porch with the mister and hammock was definitely one of our favorite features.  We also loved having the wine and beer as welcome gifts as we arrived.  I would definitely use this listing again and again!!"
4916270,38147826,2015-07-13,30577966,Steve,The host canceled this reservation 246 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4916270,39822495,2015-07-26,7831522,Karthik,We had a great time here! Thomas was extremely nice and made us feel very comfortable. Very close to downtown and lots of fun activities in the city. Highly recommended! 
4916270,40362194,2015-07-30,37895999,Sean,Awesome spot and Thomas was fabulous.  The house was a great bargain for being so well appointed.  The mist machine on the deck and the fridge full of beer and water were much appreciated.  We were doing a company off site and like the house so well we ended up working there instead of the office.  If you love food East Austin is the place to be.
4916270,40789705,2015-08-02,37735506,Evan,"I could not be more satisfied staying here. Because of Thomas booking and organizing the weekend was easy, a surpise as this was my first airbnb. Lots of room for guests whether on the hammock or under the groovy umbrella! Prime location and amenities make this an easy choice next time I need a place in Austin."
4916270,41980281,2015-08-10,8643394,Ed,This place was amazing! It had everything we could possibly need and then some. From the mini bar to the rooftop deck equipped with hammock and oscillating misting fan to keep you refreshed. Thomas was so nice and accomodating. He noticed the garage door opener wasnt working when he left and said he would bring back the second one in the morning. When we woke up to not only a working garage door opener but a complimentary bottle of wine. These people really know how to host! What more can you ask for? Do not miss out on this place!
4916270,43308054,2015-08-18,40787195,Carmen,"Thomas greeted us  in person for a quick intro to the home, electronics and area recommendations.  We stayed for 5 days and contacted him with a question one of the days and got a quick response. He checked in with us a few times over our stay by text to make sure all was well.

Home was just as described and looked in photos and was perfect for us and our two teens.  We were even able to enjoy the deck a few times in the peak of Austin summer heat using the misting fan as well as in morning shade and solace.  Extra nice touch was a fridge, bar and coffee bar stocked with some ""necessities"" as well as basic cooking and cleaning essentials such as spices, oil, condiments,  detergent...

Neighborhood was nice and quiet even over weekend just before school starting back up.  We walked to restaurants/bar and food trucks a few times and would have more if it weren't for August heat.  Overall we were very happy with our stay and would  recommend and return!
"
4916270,43946356,2015-08-23,8871506,Andrew,"Hello! My friends and I were looking to explore Austin for the first time.

Thomas met us in person and showed us around the place. He was very friendly and enthusiastic. The place was fantastic. They provided a lot of towels, beer, and water. There was a memory foam queen and king bed. Plenty of room to cook and hang out. I would definitely recommend Thomas' place to anyone. One of the best places I've stayed yet. "
4916270,45964515,2015-09-07,723309,Cindy,"Our stay at Thomas' place was very pleasant.  Although Thomas was out of town, we kept in touch and he was still very accommodating.  He goes beyond what is expected in terms of making his place comfortable and meeting your every (website hidden), water, toiletries, plenty of towels, shampoo, etc etc.  The list goes on and on....His home is very clean and we couldn't be happier booking Thomas's place.  I would definitely stay here again. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone keeps to themselves.  The home is exactly as pictured and the beds are very comfortable. 5 stars!"
4916270,46910245,2015-09-14,7917979,Elyssa,"We six girls had an excellent and chill stay at the house.  Thomas was a great host, met us as soon as we arrived, and fully explained all the gadgets and features of the house.  He welcomed us with wine, beer and bottled water, which was much appreciated after long travels!  The place is exactly as pictured/described and perfectly located: two blocks from Lady Bird Lake for early morning runs and walking distance to Juan in a Million for rewarding yourself after.  The new Frontgate inflatable cot was more comfortable than my bed at home!  Uber rides to Sixth, Rainey and South Congress were plentiful and cheap.  We highly recommend staying here!"
4916270,48535617,2015-09-27,2774319,Stephanie,Thomas was a wonderful host! He met us at the house and showed us around. He welcomed us with wine and beer! It was very nice and clean with all the necessities. We grilled out one night! The location was perfect and we used uber to commute to 6th street and back. I would high recommend staying here! Home away from home!
4916270,49068690,2015-09-30,35151027,Burney,"Thomas was the consummate host. Extremely friendly, accommodating, helpful, responsive and thoughtful. I would stay at any of his properties in an instant. This place has the attributes that I hope to find each time I book a property through Airbnb. 

THE PLACE:

A nice blend of modern and traditional. Extremely clean and comfortable with everything one needs for a short or long stint. 

The beds were amazingly comfortable;
The walk in closet was spacious and extremely convenient;
The kitchen was well stocked and will armed (gas burners, pot filler faucet, blender, coffee maker, fancy wine bottle opener, etc). 
The bathroom had a spa feel to it, and its large shower head rained down hot water with ample pressure;
The attached garage (complete with automatic garage door opener and his and her bicycles) was a wonderful bonus (Uber however, is still an option!); and
It has its own BOTH professional style wood burning bar-b-q smoker  and grill (I can still taste the salmon!) AND webber gas grill.

I loved the upstairs patio. It was like being in a treehouse bungalow and was the perfect place for me to get some work done while relaxing outside.  The extra large umbrella and the mister made doing so practical even on a relatively hot August day.

ATTENTION TO DETAILS:
It is obvious from their attention to details that Thomas and his family care about their tenants' experience and comfort.  From the bed's comfortability, the satellite tv (both in the living room and the bedrooms); the copious board games stored in the coopered, the inkjet printer; the ample supplies of towels and  essentials like toilet paper; the robust A/C unit, and the shower's soap dispensers stocked with Aveda products.  

A POTENTIAL NEGATIVE TURNED INTO POSITIVE
Thomas and his crew were able through tasteful and subtle window treatments, quality lighting and other techniques to create a pleaseant and private treehouse feel in a place that due to its lot placement might otherwise feel cramped and potentially dark. Great job. 

LOCATION: I often had to be downtown as well as south west of downtown.  The location was perfect. Easy access to arteries. Moreover, it was walking distance from the lake and some neat places to eat. The neighborhood is in the process of being gentrified (for better or worse) so there is a bit of construction here and there-- mixed among the original neighborhood families. Everyone I ran into was exceedingly nice and I felt safe. 

Loved my experience.

4916270,49443521,2015-10-04,28190961,Hannah,Thomas was a very welcoming host. He was accommodating and kept in touch during hour stay in case we needed anything. His home is in a great location and very well kept. I will for sure be back and definitely recommend his place to anyone going to Austin! 
4916270,50094623,2015-10-09,43369757,Sara,"Beautiful house. Extremely accommodating host. Everything I could of needed was made available and Thomas checked in with me during my stay to see if there was anything else he could do for me. There were books on Austin and a manual with local recommendations. The place was even nicer than I imagined which I didn't think was possible. I was excited for my trip and I definitely was not let down. My first airbnb experience and it'll be hard to top!  Thomas rocks, thank you!"
4916270,51435510,2015-10-20,1866515,Reyna,"Thomas & his place were wonderful! Thomas was communicative & helpful,  place was beautifully maintained and in a great location. We had a fantastic stay!!! Thanks Thomas! :)"

The place is super clean, there is a beautiful outdoor area, and everything is furnished perfectly. It's very conveniently located, just a 10 minute drive to the main downtown area. I look forward to coming back next time I'm in Austin! "
3749352,18860582,2014-09-01,5311082,Lexie,"I stayed at Casa Alta Vista for one night and wish I could have stayed longer! Tim & Tamara's  lovely guest space is very charming, clean, private and only 5 minutes to downtown. Fantastic location and neighborhood. The bed was large and comfy....I slept like a rock. The bathroom is updated with very nice quality tile and finishes. The shower was my best friend the morning after a long night out! It was the perfect place for my overnight stay in Austin. I hope to be back soon and stay longer next time! "
3749352,20482139,2014-09-29,21783771,Natisha,"I can't say enough how much I loved this property! 

The suite was beautiful and very quiet. There was a mini fridge with a little basket with some snacks and water, which made us feel right at home. 

The hosts were very sweet and accommodating. They stuck to themselves, but were available if we needed anything. 

The neighborhood was superb! We walked EVERYWHERE. We parked our car and didn't move it until we checkout out. We even took a couple of walks around the block and were greeted by the nicest neighbors. 

You are walking distances to SOCO and all the local eateries and shops. 

We will be staying here again. 

Thank you Tim and Tamara for the wonderful stay :) "
3749352,20866529,2014-10-06,21743774,Tracy,"A great place to stay if visiting the Big A.  We were looking for a location in the vicinity of SoCo, but made the decision to spend a couple of nights very late and on the same weekend as ACL Fest, Comic Con, and a Texas Football home game.  Found Casa Alta Vista and it fit the bill perfectly for us.  Check in was very easy, met the owners and Bailey the Beagle.  The casa was very comfortable, everything worked perfectly and we had everything that we needed for 2 perfect nights.  We loved the walk-in shower and strolling the quaint neighborhood in the vicinity of the Casa.  We would stay again without hesitation. "
3749352,21310404,2014-10-14,178273,Elyse,"The hosts were very accommodating and were receptive to anything we needed since it was their first long stay guest experience.

3749352,21758743,2014-10-23,1657967,Erich,"I had a great stay at Tim and Tamara's. The location is wonderful (a short walk from South Congress), and the suite was comfortable. I appreciated the ease of access via the keypad as well, although I enjoyed chatting with Tim when I met him in the lovely backyard. I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin."
3749352,21973323,2014-10-27,6471399,Kathleen,"The rooms were just as shown.  The location was perfect.  It was a peaceful, beautiful stay with wonderful hosts."
3749352,22371632,2014-11-04,2175157,Patrick,"We had a wonderful time at Tim and Tamara's place. The private room was very spacious, beautifully decorated, and very well kept. It led to a nice backyard, giving the option to spend time outside. We also loved the neighborhood: nice houses, lots of trees, great restaurants and cafes not too far away (we walked). Our hosts were very nice, welcoming, and helpful in every respect. We couldn't have asked for more to spend a pleasant and relaxing long weekend in Austin."
3749352,22597891,2014-11-10,22407920,Jacqui & Paul,"Tim & Tamara have a great place near downtown Austin. The room is very clean and the listing description was accurate. There's a separate entrance for the room so it was easy to get in and out. The neighborhood is peaceful and Auditorium Shores is a 10 minute bike ride away. Tim was very welcoming and if there were any issues I'm sure he would have addressed them immediately. Nice shower, fresh towels, cozy foam top king bed and some snacks and bottled waters: MUCH better than most hotels, would definitely stay here again!"

Great apartment, with a comfy bed, yard, clean, large shower. I'm already looking forward to coming back to Austin to stay here again. I didn't get to meet Tamara, but Tim is a friendly, genuine guy! Thanks for helping accommodate a perfect weekend!"
3749352,27107736,2015-02-25,18976155,Randy,"This home is in the SOCO (South Congress) area of Austin, with the great (hip) shopping district less in than 1 mile, and downtown only 1 more away. The suite was very clean and comfortable, with a daybed in the front room, k-cup coffee and maker, refrigerator stocked with water and some snacks.

The bathroom and shower were quite nice, and most toiletries were provided (more than in hotels.)

The bed was huge and the TV was wall mounted in the room at the foot.

Plenty of room to store clothing and private access. We only ended up running into the host once, as he checked that everything was going well on day 3 of our 6 day stay. We're private people, so we liked the hands-off hosting approach.

We had some problems with the wifi, but the host was working on the problem and sorted it out eventually.

We'd stay here again, and will recommend it to others visiting Austin.

3749352,28245229,2015-03-21,2222116,Rain,A perfect Austin getaway! I came for SXSW and needed a place to retreat from the craziness. Casa Alta Vista was close enough to downtown to be convenient to everything but so quiet and secluded. Tim and Tamara were lovely and welcoming and the space is cozy and pretty.  Thank you!
3749352,28436923,2015-03-23,11279668,Chilee,"Tim and Tamara were great! They greated us when we arrivred. The casita was perfect, super cute, very roomy, clean, well decorated and only blocks from all the fun Austin shananigans.  They were great in recommending places to eat. Quick to get us an extra set of towels and even brought aspirin after my massive migraine from the night before.   I will definitely be back on my next visit to Austin."

The king-size bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. There was a daybed, mini fridge, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker in the sitting room. Our hosts provided the coffee, and there were dishes and silverware available in the cupboard. The bathroom was beautifully decorated with tile floor and shower, and the towels were luxuriously thick! We loved the neighborhood as well. It was easy access from Interstate 35 and close to the river and South Congress, but still had a secluded feel with tree-lined streets and beautiful homes. We had a chance to meet Tamara and their younger daughter; both were delightful to talk to. We could not have chosen a better place to stay in Austin!!"

3749352,31400556,2015-05-04,30106334,Abby,"My mom, a friend and I booked Casa Alta Vista because of its proximity to South Congress, and it turns out the location is even better than that: It is walking distance (10 minutes) from S. Congress, but located in the CUTEST neighborhood I never knew existed - adorable bungalows on tree-lined streets. Tim and Tamara greeted us when we arrived, and seemed very friendly, though we didn't see them again for the rest of the weekend, as we had our own entrance to the space. The rental itself is a cute semi-basement apartment with a day bed (sleeps one person), a little living room, a refrigerator, a keurig, local restaurant menus (!), a bathroom, and a bedroom with a kind sized bed. Tim and Tamara stocked the refrigerator with waters and snacks, and all in all, it was the cutest place I've stayed in a long time! I will absolutely be back next time I visit Austin."

What a great location--within walking distance to SoCo, but you have the benefit of enjoying a cute, peaceful suburban neighborhood.  There's a neat park nearby too with a running stream.  Accommodations were exactly as described, very clean, nice big bed, standup shower.  Quiet and private.  Tim and Tamara greeted us as we arrived and as we left and were very welcoming! "

The fridge was stocked with water and coffee and snacks were left out for me.  The room was private, quiet and peaceful. "
3749352,47697880,2015-09-21,459912,Lorne,"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Alta Vista.  Tim and Tamara met us when we arrived and are very outgoing and easy to converse with.  The property is exactly as described with no surprises.  The rooms were clean, comfortable, and furnished with a small fridge, bottled water, coffee, snacks and a coffee maker.  The booking process was easy and Tim clearly communicated arrival instructions via email in ample time prior to our arrival.  The neighborhood is quaint, quite and close to downtown.  Our car stayed parked out front all weekend as we utilized Uber to get around.  I highly recommend this property and look forward to staying here again in the future."
3749352,48574063,2015-09-27,26805553,Tracy,"Tim and Tamara's basement guest area was beautiful, clean and perfect for our anniversary getaway. Loved the private entrance and nice touches like snacks, cold beverages and coffee! The earlier check-in time and 12pm check-out time was much appreciated. We could have used an extra towel or two in the bathroom. Great location and a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood!"
3749352,49786568,2015-10-06,38403095,Jazmin,"Such a great spot. Close to everything, and a very comfortable room. Tim and Tamara are excellent hosts leaving snacks, water and coffee! They were also very accommodating with giving us an early check in time since our flight came in early. Would definitely stay here again and recommend."
3749352,50462649,2015-10-12,41872400,Ed,Great unit in the lower level of their home. Comfortable surroundings and accommodations. Description was accurate. Tim and Tamara are great hosts and provided us insight to Austin and the local scene since this was our first visit.
3749352,51068747,2015-10-17,29528137,Ellen,"The description is accurate. The location is great - walking distance to SOCO and the river. I used Uber and had no problems getting there or to the airport. 

I did have a mixup getting into the unit. The code didn't work and I had to get in touch with them to fix it. Tim came pretty quickly, within 30 minutes, but I got lots of bug bites while waiting. I suggest everyone get the host's contact info because I didn't have a phone number to call. But other than that, the place was fine. It's clean, well appointed and has easy access. "
3749352,52352622,2015-10-28,459912,Lorne,This was our second stay at Casa Alta Vista and our stay was as pleasant as the first.  I highly recommend staying here.
3749352,52969846,2015-11-03,15608705,Mary,"We had a wonderful stay @ Casa Alta Vista. After a harrowing 14 hour trip (diverted to Houston and driving through October floods) we found our room cozy, comforting and exactly as described. We could not have been more comfortable, appreciated the extra coffee, snacks and water and loved the neighborhood. SoCo is our favorite area of Austin and a hoot on Halloween. Our only regret was not getting to meet Tim & Tamara in person although Wally greeted us in the morning. We will be back to stay at Casa Alta Vista!"
4429001,28128628,2015-03-18,3329559,Mansi,"We had an absolutely wonderful time in Austin and Ela was a fantastic host.  She was very responsive prior to arrival as well as during if we had any questions.  Her apartment is adorable, very clean and comfortable, and in a perfect location (especially for great restaurants like East Side King, Uchi, Barley Swine, Odd Duck, Gourdough's, and Lick for the best ice cream in Austin!).  Parking is super easy too.  She was so sweet to leave us a welcome card and bottle of wine!  We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Austin.  Thanks again Ela!"
4429001,28399067,2015-03-23,351349,Chris,Ela was a great host.  She is friendly and accommodating.  The apartment is exactly as listed. It was clean and comfortable.  The location worked well for our sxsw visit.
4429001,46092644,2015-09-07,2176666,Luba,"Ela's place was great! The apartment had everything we needed. We knew it would be a bit tucked away from the action given the location, but there were bars and places to go nearby and a short drive from most of the bars/restaurant-heavy streets. The bed was comfy and the living room inviting.

Ela herself was great as well- super flexible with arrival time and the number of days we stayed, which I wasn't sure about when booking the reservation. She greeted us when we pulled up, and even left us with a bottle of wine! A great stay overall."
4429001,49072715,2015-09-30,1011981,Saul & Joan,"Ela was very nice and responsive to communication, and sympathetic when there were problems (internet went down for a while due to a storm).  The apartment is nice and comfortable. The bed is SUPER comfortable.  It was generally quite quiet (sometimes that is an issue in first-floor apartments, but not in this case).   There is a construction site across the street, and during the day (not night), it can intermittently be noisy. Neighborhood has lots of stuff going on, and good access to downtown

Caveat: If you are planning to cook, facilities are limited: largest burner on the stove didn't work, and only one frying pan - a large one, as it happens - was available, and the Teflon on it was flaking (not good to eat Teflon...)"
4429001,50443561,2015-10-12,39227708,Kim,"Thank you Ela! We stayed at Ela's during ACL this year and loved the place! It's trendy, cute and fun, with a great location. We even walked home a couple of times (a couple of miles). Plenty of restaurants and bars near. HEB around the corner. We hope to get Ela's place again next year! It comes highly recommended. "
5309406,27882608,2015-03-14,12538322,Will,"Great experience! Clean, comfortable and friendly in a very nice neighborhood! "
5309406,28105754,2015-03-17,13363242,Christian,Sofia's space was amazing. Very quant and comfortable space in a location close to down town. It was perfect for my business travel. 
5309406,28397391,2015-03-23,27512427,Julie Marie,"Wonderful neighbourhood and such a lovely house! They offered everything that we needed and we had an amazing time in Austin. Just a short walk if you want to go downtown and supermarkeds and buses are all reachable by foot. A little mix up at the check in, but all in all a very good experience and friendly people!"
5309406,49522471,2015-10-04,44678504,Luke,"Really nice house in a great location. The room was very cute and comfortable. Although there was a little miscommunication about the room in the beginning, it was smoothed out ASAP. Overall it was a great place to stay for the weekend, and I would absolutely stay there again."
5309406,50474337,2015-10-12,39552891,Cesar,Great location. 
7556996,46685994,2015-09-12,43872817,Jesse,Awesome cottage in great neighborhood.  We loved staying here and would stay again in a heartbeat.  The place was masterfully decorated and had a very cozy feel.  Checked in and checked out without a hitch. Excellent host!
7556996,47448608,2015-09-18,26470497,Laviña,"Mandy was a wonderful host! Although, I didn't get the chance to meet her, she was able to accommodate me within hours of request to book her wonderful place. The space looked exactly as it is described and more. It was clean, quiet and has everything I can possibly need. It was also near coffee shops, grocery stores and restaurants. I love the little notes she left in her place. The place was lit perfectly and the A/C was on when I came which was awesome for Austin. I was so comfortable that I actually woke up late on the day I was supposed to leave. Thankfully, she was very sympathetic to my situation. The communication was clear and she was very responsive. I would highly recommend her space to anyone. "
7556996,47603467,2015-09-20,14297834,James,"What a great house!! Perfect for our short term needs, and Mandy was very flexible and communicated with us well. Everything was clean and very well decorated. Highly recommend! "
7556996,47854553,2015-09-21,30648818,Victoria,We enjoyed Mandy's cute little bungalow in a great neighborhood in Austin.  Mandy was responsive and helpful in communications.  We would definitely stay there again.
7556996,49942055,2015-10-07,24747745,Gordon,Very comfortable home in a quiet neighborhood. Pleasantly exceeded my expectations. Dual shower head is a plus!
7556996,50197921,2015-10-10,5695116,Chris,Everything was great for us. Mandy even left us 3 beers in the fridge!
7556996,50321931,2015-10-11,9812848,Erin,Great little house in a cool neighborhood. Clean and stocked with necessities. Mandy was quick and responsive through the whole experience. 
7556996,51039708,2015-10-17,30942552,Jessica,"This place was perfect. Cute, clean, and comfortable. We loved it."
7556996,51461893,2015-10-20,5846114,Ottessa,"Totally perfect stay at Mandy's place. Got to Austin at night, let myself in and found the little bungalow to be in perfect order and exactly as described. The back patio was especially lovely. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Very luxurious showering situation. And I really appreciated the quiet and privacy. Would totally stay there again the next time I come to Austin. Two thumbs up."
7556996,52231729,2015-10-27,18204141,Scotty,"Staying at Mandy's place was absolutely wonderful. It was exactly as it appeared, if not cozier. The location was a cute up-and-coming neighborhood outside of the madness of downtown, but close enough (a 5-10min Lyft to all the happening places) to easily navigate the city as we desired.
The location provided us with several local grocers and cafes within walking distance to fill our kitchen for the weekend and provided us with a real sense of life in Austin.

Mandy was more than welcoming and accommodating to us throughout our stay. Easy to communicate with and quick to help out with any questions through the weekend. If there were problems I feel she would've jumped in to help without hesitation, however there never were any :))

Thanks again!"
7556996,52614841,2015-10-31,7169548,Daniel,"Great place to stay in Austin, house is just as described and has everything you need. Mandy was super attentive and quick to respond to all our questions! Definite recommend"
3781639,20935336,2014-10-07,4665383,Andrea,Brandy was an accommodating host who communicated well before and during my stay. Her place was a good location to stay (within a few miles of ACL). The room itself was cozy and the wifi worked well. There was an A/C unit in the window of the bedroom and I wasn't expecting that. The only issue during my stay was that the bathtub clogged up really bad every time I took a shower and the host wasn't able to get the issue fixed during my two-night stay. Everything else was great though--very nice host and the neighborhood was quiet and seemed safe.
3781639,26840884,2015-02-20,2258591,Heather,"It was a bit too small of a space for my dog, boyfriend and myself. We were a bite cramped. I think it would be better suited for one person who wouldn't mind living with two roommates. The girls were sweet and quiet."
3781639,27039083,2015-02-23,14085097,Gillian,"Staying with Brandy was fun! The room is nicely laid out with a huge comfy bed and antique chest as well as full closet. There is a wall unit if you want a fan or air conditioning. My little dog loved the house and yard, we both felt safe. The neighborhood is South Austin, a mix of old and new, fun to explore.  As a host, Brandy was kind, flexible and accommodating. She communicated well and took care of all my needs, what more could a guest ask for? I highly recommend Brandy's airbnb. "
3781639,27482979,2015-03-05,16602028,Paul,"The host was warm and welcoming, and willing to help with directions, info, and ideas for things to do.  Neighborhood was quiet - I could walk to a nice coffee-shop with a nice Taco Food Truck, and a pretty quick short drive to downtown etc.  Room was simple, clean and comfortable, and house was quiet.  "
3781639,27563002,2015-03-07,28647125,Christopher,"Brandy made me feel very welcome by responding to my questions quickly and by being helpful in general. The house is in a nice neighborhood and is clean and quiet. The bathroom and shower are clean and work fine. I noticed someone posted that there was an issue with the shower drain, whatever that was has been fixed and should not raise any concerns. 

My flight was delayed and Brandy was incredibly helpful in allowing me to change my arrival date and time and by allowing me to show up in the middle of the night. Brandy also knows a lot about Austin and was happy to recommend things to do, including yoga studios to visit.

I highly recommend Zen Bungalow!  "
3781639,27626034,2015-03-08,17128370,Chelsea,"Brandy was great! Her roommates were nice. They were all very flexible with me when I had a little hick up in my trip plans, the bed was comfortable, the house was nice, not too far from everything. I liked it! "
3781639,27979377,2015-03-15,29163867,Grey,"Brandy and her roommates are very relaxed hosts who keep a clean, comfortable and welcoming house in a relaxed neighborhood just a few miles south of Austin's core. they're very friendly, and I felt I could float in and out as I wished. I definitely feel I can recommend them on all aspects of hospitality and on location."
3781639,28241179,2015-03-20,8165517,Gregor,Brandy was a real nice host. She was easy going in her communication and made time to have a drink and a talk. The place was just like described. The bed was comfy and everything was clean.
3781639,28524097,2015-03-25,27756769,Maria,"I stayed at Brandy's house during the last weekend of SXSW and a little longer after that. Brandy answered quickly to my e-mails before coming to Austin when I had a question. I was out most of the time with friends and didn't see Brandy the first day. But she checked back with me via text message, which was a nice gesture. Her roommate was very friendly. I loved the dog.
This was my first time in Austin and I had a good stay at Brandy's house. "
3781639,29314248,2015-04-06,19403593,Mike,"My stay at Brandy's house was super chill. I got to chat with her and her roommates a few times. Super cool people. The bed is probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in as well. They were also down with me cooking everyday so that was a total plus since I am traveling the country. Need to stay healthy whenever I can.

They are super close to Ben White and it took me 10-15 minutes to get into downtown during the late mornings. They are also really close to Radio and Strange Brew which are 2 awesome coffee places that you should check out while in town. "
3781639,29842840,2015-04-13,15618129,Erin,"I was in Austin for a conference downtown. This location is close to 1st Ave, which is a straight shot into downtown, but far away enough from South Congress and such that traffic is pretty clear and easy to navigate. The room was comfortable and the neighborhood was quiet and pleasant."
3781639,30454803,2015-04-22,29296423,Fred,Brandy was cordial and welcoming. She provided great ideas on where to eat in the neighborhood. 
3781639,30694065,2015-04-26,11692496,Sharon,I was in Austin for a conference at UT. Location was great. It's in a quiet neighborhood and the bed is super comfortable. Slept great! Brandy was quick to respond to all my questions and suggested Uber for transportation when she was unavailable. Perfect way to get around! Another great stay in Austin! 
3781639,31048615,2015-05-01,29592553,Massimo,"Had probably the best night of my entire trip at Brandy's place. Although we saw each other very briefly, she made me feel welcome, and communicated clearly all I needed to know. Her house is in a lovely leafy neighborhood, and her bed is amazing!  "
3781639,31964417,2015-05-12,11739189,Jessica,"I really enjoyed my stay in Brandy's Zen Bungalow blue room. The room was cozy, and the a/c unit is very good! For one who likes to sleep in a cool room, this was a huge selling point. Also, she was super nice. I would definitely recommend this listing to others heading to Austin."
3781639,32149824,2015-05-14,33006371,Marian,"Brandy is great!  I was traveling by foot and she came and picked me up to save me some traveling time.  Her place is very peaceful, it was nice to have my own space to relax after walking around all day in Austin.  I had a bit of trouble figuring out public transportation, but that was my only snag.  I ended up trying Uber for the first time, and it was relatively cheap to get from downtown Austin to Brandy's."
3781639,33131842,2015-05-25,11635508,Grace,"We had a great experience staying at Brandy's place. The price was extremely affordable, and we were provided with all the essentials. Her house is conveniently located near a bus line that took us directly to south congress and downtown. Although we only interacted briefly with her as we were busy exploring the city and she was busy working, Brandy was very friendly and laid back. We highly recommend this place!!"
4144319,39716562,2015-07-25,6196475,Siddharth,"Great place in a beautiful neighborhood, very convenient from public transport and there's an HEB right next by.

The apt itself is very well kept and Paxton is a really welcoming host."
1690154,10883776,2014-03-11,403813,Zack,"Richard's place was perfect! A great apartment in an awesome neighborhood, very close to downtown. Richard was very accommodating and extremely helpful, making sure we had everything we needed and even creating a Pinterest board of local hotspots for us to check out. The apartment itself is excellent--very clean, stocked with good music, a comfy bed, a rollout couch and close to great shopping and restaurants. There's even an outdoor patio, which was great for having a few drinks in the great weather before heading out for the night. I would definitely stay here again."
1690154,50743684,2015-10-14,1466886,Roy,"I had the pleasure of staying at Richard's apartment for 6 weeks.  The apartment is exactly as described. Great location on South Congress,  close to everything including supermarkets, restaurants and night life. "
8017319,45876030,2015-09-06,42506813,Celia,"Ruan's apartment was great! It was neat, organized, and cozy and we were able to do a bit of cooking in his little kitchen. We never met Ruan as he was out of town, but his friend gave us the key and we were just a text away from anything we needed. We felt very comfortable in the apartment complex and it was so close to tons of restaurants and shops on South Lamar! "
8017319,50420676,2015-10-11,35400245,Phillip,"It was great! Clean and spacious bedroom and living area. Host's friend (Andrea) was very welcoming and nice! I felt very comfortable, and it was the perfect place to hang after being at ACL the whole day! Definitely will recommend this place to anyone looking for place to stay. "
8388537,49512154,2015-10-04,14587961,Laura,"I had a really great stay at this Travis Heights spot! It was in a nice neighborhood, close to South Congress and a short uber ride to lots of other destinations. Miguel was super friendly too! I would recommend this room and stay here again in the future. "
8388537,49752388,2015-10-05,14135557,Jonathan,I had a great stay. Everyone was friendly and the neighborhood is really beautiful and convenient. I enjoyed walking around and exploring the park and the dry creeks nearby. South Congress is a short walk away and a drive to downtown is literally 6 minutes. Getting around by bus is really convenient too since there is a line on East Riverside. I would definitely stay here again!
8388537,50501347,2015-10-12,25827204,Steven,"John's place was perfect for ACL. It was about a 2 mile bike ride to Zilker. The location is also very close to South Congress and downtown. 
John's housemates were super friendly and had great advice for local places to check out. 
The room was clean and had fresh soap and towels waiting for us. "
8388537,52285107,2015-10-27,869893,Jose Manuel,"John's place was gear, it was comfortable and private.
I'll choose him for next trip to Austin for sure!"
5551188,28491791,2015-03-24,26932397,Chung,"Super nice place and people!!!!! Madeleine and Juliet always tried to help us with everything we needed which made us feel at home. We stayed here during SXSW, and we really really love here! Sweet people and a cozy, elegant and stylish apartment in adorable complex！The location is good. You can take bus just in front of the complex. You also can find good restaurant, used books and CDs store near by. There is a convenient store less than 5 minutes from the apartment. We spent a good time here！"
8742824,51394005,2015-10-19,46418919,Leah,Excellent experience! Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with! Very clean place!

6066627,41748165,2015-08-09,31858664,Garrett,"House as described; great landing spot for seeing family close by and driving to Hill Country/wine country (1 hr away). Very comfortable for our family's stay. Brendan and his wife were very accommodating in terms of making arrangements to access the house, etc. Some minor plumbing issues (toilets run a lot, etc.) which they gave us a heads up on, but nothing that took away from our stay. Good first experience with Airbnb."
5396786,28140878,2015-03-18,3252631,Fletcher,"We came to Collin's place for SXSW. It's a great apartment and was perfect for what we needed. There wasn't any Wifi, but Collin was generous enough to drop off a hotspot. "
5396786,29880153,2015-04-13,30532620,Kristin,"Collin was a fantastic host as was his apartment! He had everything set up for our arrival, even preparing the air mattress! It's in a great location in downtown Austin and is easy to get around from here. We even met a few neighbors who were all welcoming and helpful! Highly recommended for a successful trip to Austin, Texas!"
5396786,30358431,2015-04-20,3554126,Ahmed,"Collin was a wonderful host. Check in and check out was a breeze. His apartment was tastefully decorated, easy to find and parking was very convenient. The location was amazing. Literally like 2 minutes from downtown. I walked to a retro grocery Co op in the morning. Cool neighborhood. Quiet but close to the bustle."
5396786,32035329,2015-05-12,26018066,Walter,Collin was very easy to work with. His apartment is was very clean and in a great location. I would definitely stay here again!

5396786,36631818,2015-06-29,1265567,Denise,"Property was exactly as described, clean and eclectic. My husband, 2 children and I stayed here for only 1 night bc we came in from Houston  to Austin for a work party. We luv Austin and all the things it has to offer. Collins place was easy to find and we were all comfortable, especially on the blow up mattress! "
5396786,37265503,2015-07-05,35061583,Margi,"Great experience at Collin's place.  Clean and pretty apartment, clean sheets, clean appliances, etc. Great location between downtown Austin and UT. One parking spot outside the place, any other cars have to park on a nearby street. "
5396786,40063482,2015-07-27,7068540,Anthony,"It was extremely easy working with Collin while settling into his and his wife's place! Their place was comfortable and they made sure we had everything we needed to feel at home away from home; the record player brought the place to life and their book selection was great to browse. My friends and I had an awesome evening, and the charming vibe that the Seales created about the house played a significant role on that front."
5396786,41046894,2015-08-03,39921349,Monique,"My stay was great! And, so was our host. He answered all questions promptly and was really flexible with check in/out. We were left a bottle of wine and Collin helped with  restaurant recommendations as well. We weren't able to get wifi, but we didn't even notice because we were busy having fun. It was beautifully decorated, and the location was really convenient. I would definitely stay again!  "
5396786,42083294,2015-08-10,10518192,Polly,"Great location for the neighborhood and downtown Austin. Comfortable, great collection of vintage games; host was available and helpful; great bed; and yes, delightfully eclectic art and furnishings. Loved the wall hanging of Palestine during the time of Jesus as had visited most of the sites secular and non-secular. "
5396786,46060045,2015-09-07,26230126,Megan,"Colin's apartment was amazing! It was really close to South Congress and other hot spots of Austin. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and a really good size. My 4 friends and I were more than comfortable in the space. Very clean, very welcoming and very aesthetically pleasing. Would reccomend to anyone! "
5396786,46994567,2015-09-14,32290259,Christian,Amazing place at an amazing price. Collin and Lyndsey were very helpful with the entire process and were never more than a phone call away. The location is amazing and the place is very clean and cozy. 
5396786,47783867,2015-09-21,42998649,Taylor,"This apartment is the cutest place I've probably ever stayed in. Collin was very helpful with the check in process and all of my silly questions as a first time airbnb user. Admittedly, we weren't in the apartment for much of our trip simply because we had so many plans, but it was very nice to come home to at the end of the long days. While there isn't a tv, we were busy getting out of the apartment to explore the city, so it didn't bother us too much. The location was great for a ex-Austinite, but could have been a bit hard to get around without a car or uber."
5396786,48788693,2015-09-28,392357,Noah,Collin and Lyndsey's apartment was cute and cozy. The apartment was clean and check-in was a breeze. They had scrabble and monopoly on hand - which were fun to play. The location is great -convenient for going to restaurants and parks.
5396786,49761159,2015-10-06,14106287,Yael,"The apartment was very pretty, well designed and fun to be in.
The location was good for Zilker Park for ACL festival.
Had all the things you need for cooking, and there's a grocery a short walk away.
Had a great time there."
5396786,50621806,2015-10-13,38343330,Jacqueline,"We had a great stay at Collin and Lyndsey's place! Their place is so cute and comfortable, and was very close to coffee shops and restaurants. 

We were in town for Austin City Limits at Zilker Park, and their apartment provided the perfect place to come back and rest after long days of being outside. We were a group of 4 friends, so we were fine sharing the bed and the air mattress. There was definitely enough room for all of us, and the air mattress was very comfortable for being an air mattress (in fact, even calling it an air mattress at all is a little deceptive). Our favorite thing was coming back at the end of a long day at the festival and hanging out in the living room on our own couches (we each ""claimed"" one!). 

The apartment is a 2 mile walk from Zilker Park, which was great since it allowed us to walk to/from the festival without waiting in massive lines for shuttles and/or Ubers. We were also in walking distance to a good coffee shop, and a small-ish grocery store that we went to get food to make breakfast/lunch). 

The one concern we had was that there was no WiFi (they tried to replace a broken router, but were unable to find a replacement in time). However, this was a  really minor thing, and did not ruin our stay in any way whatsoever.

We highly recommend Collin & Lyndsey's place - it was everything they said, and they were extremely easy to communicate with. If we come back for ACL, we will definitely reach out to Collin and Lyndsey to see if their home is available!"
5396786,51368545,2015-10-19,16757395,Cindy,"We loved the Collin and Lyndsey's place, it's a cute small apt with a lot of character. No TV or WIFI which can be positive or negative depending on the person. Great location and host."

The neighborhood felt safe and the house was very clean and cute.  Laura left us some freshly baked cookies.  She was a great host and seemed happy to answer our inquiries about the local scene but also left us to ourselves when we wanted.  Highly recommended, I would stay again.    "
8372940,50359417,2015-10-11,29568416,Andy,My friends and I stayed here for a billiards tournament. The house is wonderful. Laura is very kind and accommodating. Everything was perfect and getting into contact with Laura was very easy. Absolutely loved it!
8372940,51947267,2015-10-25,45239773,Debbie,"Laura was a great host - easy to contact, quick to reply and very flexible with changing plans on a rain-soaked weekend.  Very friendly and great to work with.  Beds were all comfortable and the house had everything we needed.  Location was especially great in South Austin.  Neighborhood is quiet and felt safe.  The location is also close to stores, restaurants and local shopping and 10-15 minutes from the mall and other retail.

If you are super picky about every detail of housekeeping, you may note a few things overlooked here.  However, sheets and towels were all clean and sufficient.  For our family weekend, this was perfect."
3550794,31222243,2015-05-03,31035673,Daniel & Rosie,"This was the most relaxing, cozy home we have stayed in so far, and we live in Austin! We felt that we were in a different world. As soon as you walk in you feel right at home. It is truly a get away. All you need to bring is yourself and your weekend bag! Everything is already there. Plates, dish soap, forks, knives, even the smallest things you don't think about like scissors. Walk in with your groceries and you literally feel like you're in your dream home. My family came into town, and they were just blown away. The home was just right. They got a beautiful scenic feel of Austin on the way to the home. It's private and secluded out by Lake Travis. We were extremely pleased with how clean and how detailed this house was. We loved all the artsy furniture and the beautiful backyard. There are touches of modern technology throughout the house, and you will love the up to date furnishes. We will definitely recommend and even return to this home! Booking was super easy and confirmation emails regarding the stay were easy to share with family members via email. We loved the detailed instructions and it is the most convenient and safe access to the home we have seen. Thank you so very much for taking us in. It was the most pleasant and easy get away thus far. "

When we got there, aaron had bicycles for us and gave us a quick tour of the neighborhood. The cottage was perfect and clean and close to lots of bars, restaurants, cafes, and outdoorsy stuff. My favorite part was walking to Barton Springs pool and getting my morning juices at Juiceland down the street. I hope to stay here again in March"

Great backyard for the kids! The wine bar was welcome. Netflix TV came in handy."
2708067,23965528,2014-12-15,24193370,Christine," This was my first experience with airbnb and it was everything I imagined and more.  Checking in was easy and stress free. The house was clean and well stocked. The backyard was lovely. I can't say enough about the neighborhood and the easy access to the Barton Creek Greenbelt hiking trail. The location was ideal, not so close to the action that we couldn't sleep but not so far that we couldn't drive safely to downtown and back. Great food in every direction... truly have no complaints. I felt like a got a little bit of everything Austin has to offer! I would definitely stay in a vacation cake rental next time around."

The house is spacious,clean and confortable, the room and bathroom the same. The house is really close from the bus stop, 15/20 minutes by bus to downtown, which was perfect! Hosts were very helpful with me. Perfect place for a first experience in Austin!
Highly recommend!"

It was cool living off the grid and getting away from downtown at night. We made a fire every other night, and wandered in the surrounding woods a little. "
315378,1047088,2012-03-26,585271,Leticia,"Staying at Cole's was truly an awakening on how to truly live. One thing I picked up from living off the grid is you become very conscious of your actions especially the quantity of you resources. 
Thanks Cole, your home was very welcoming and talking with Seaton was delightfully hilarious and yet, calming. Great auras guys! 
Much love and positive vibes your way. :-) 

"
315378,1216684,2012-05-02,2029965,Alicia,"Loved the privacy and space! 
Coleman is a wonderful host, while the other tenants are equally friendly and helpful.
Rustic charms on large beautiful property.
Quiet environment close to Congress and town.
Enjoy at least one good sleep on your holiday!"
315378,2416327,2012-09-25,3496790,Aleksi,"Coleman's room was spacious and with a nice private bathroom. Coleman himself was very hospitable and open to endless quizzing about the arrangements of living off-grid and the history of the place. The other people staying at the house were as interesting and friendly. The only downside from my perspective were the stealthy Texan mosquitoes I was unaccustomed to - but Coleman was resourceful in battling against them, and with proper preparations I suspect you can be successful. In all, a great place to stay for those who don't mind compromising on some of the modern comforts."
315378,2599135,2012-10-13,351195,Erin,Coleman's place was such a treat!!  Its definitely rustic and even though I was working an office job and relied on internet the week I was there I was able to make it work!! If the solar electricity went out it wasn't' until late at night but with enough time for me to get work done. The place is on a bit of property so it really gives you the feel like your in a little oasis!
315378,3637772,2013-02-26,5107876,Steven,Very laid back place to stay.  Close enough to downtown.  Cole is a great guy.
315378,3803932,2013-03-17,4393426,Toshinari,"He was awesome! He attended to us so wamrly. He was always taking care of us, from beds, to unitilities, to foods. He even had a party for us with sushi, miso soup and sake. As a Japanese, it was so nice and heartwarming to me. Also, even though his house is usually powered by solar energy, he enabled an emergency power source seening us having a difficulty. We definitely would like to stay with him if we had a chance to visit Austin again. Thank you Coleman! "
315378,4215764,2013-04-19,5080499,Kendra,"Stay was definitely worth the trip! Very easy access to public transportation and close to everything but still tranquil. Feels like an escape to the country. Think of it as upgraded 4-wall camping. Peaceful! Coleman was very hospitable and the room was very private, definitely a good eco-friendly getaway. Live simply and be happy. :)"
315378,4256836,2013-04-22,5353692,Alli,"We loved Coleman's place! All the others we met were laid back, fun people too. Loved that the house runs on solar power, the roosters have us our morning wake up call (it was needed), and it was so comfy, eclectic, and safe. The wood fired stove was amazing in our room and the bed was super comfy. 

Coleman kept in contact with us via text/call, he showed up to help us with the stove and chatted with us about motorcycles and tiny homes. Loved our experience and we will use Coleman's place again when we visit Austin. "
315378,4360861,2013-04-30,1898914,Michael,"Great room with tons of light. Big private bathroom with your own entrance. Coleman is super friendly and happily provided a bike and tips on getting around Austin. Only downside was that Austin was having unseasonably overcast weather and it kind of limited the use of electricity since the house is run on solar. But that's really a small thing since most of my time was spent running around the city and I really just needed a place to crash. Would totally stay there again!

thx!"
315378,4919356,2013-06-02,4932982,Yael,"(website hidden).  Coleman is a warm, good hearted guy and accommodating host.  His home is a dream and I'm pleased I got to live it and meet the diverse people who shared in the experience.  The house is tucked away and is in a prime location.  Enjoyed strolling to the nearby cafe/restaurant and laying out back while enjoying great company.  Thanks to Coleman I now know how to make a pond! :) Will miss."
315378,11741757,2014-04-14,5353692,Alli,"My 2nd stay and loved it. I know I came on one of the busiest weekends but Coleman was available by email or text, helped in any way possible, and very welcoming. It's like a 2nd home away from home for me and always feel safe and comfortable. Thanks again Coleman!"
315378,12034329,2014-04-21,9819343,Marina,"Felt right at home. I'm from Serbia so the furniture, tiles, bathroom, open air flow all felt familiar. I enjoyed staying here.  There is a very peaceful energy and the vintage trailers are postcard worthy.  All doors where off at first when I arrived, but put on at night.  It's close to the bus stop. In a safe area, I walked from 8 miles North and had no problem.  Very close Congress Ave which is a very touristy street. Bus routes are easy to follow. The room was huge for just one person. You get your own private bathroom. I would recommend it. Only thing I was surprised about was the front door wasn't closed when I left for my flight around 3:30 AM. That was a bit unsettling."
315378,12413314,2014-05-01,11480823,Michael,"My first Airbnb experience and not quite what I was expecting. I booked 9 nights as I am traveling cross country and decided to stick around Austin a little longer. I have stayed in hostels, hotels, friends couches, campsites, rustic cabins, etc., and this house was by far the dustiest and least taken care of property I've seen.

Leaves, dust, webs, living (and squished) cockroaches, and more dust was very present throughout the house. My room also had numerous termite problems in the ceiling, and wood remnants covered the furniture. The 3rd day I swept out my room and removed massive piles of dust from under my bed and both rugs, it clearly hadn't been cleaned for a long time. I broke the cheap plastic broom sweeping so much. I showed the dust to Coleman who picked up some of it with his hands and gave me a dustpan for the rest. My bathroom had dead spiders on the shower floor and the shower itself hardly worked. I sincerely believe it has been a long time since anything has been cleaned here. 

The outdoor area was completely disregarded. Weeds towered over any sort of backyard, the back porch was a mess with branches one day, clothing the next, random wood pieces another. The pool was awful. Not sure why it is 'closed' as it was 90+ degrees most of the time I was there. It was a disgusting brown and I helped 2 drowning frogs get out and onto land, which means there are probably families of dead bloated frogs on the bottom. Most nights I'd come home to find the house pitch black and all the doors wide open. 

Coleman himself was distant and unwelcoming. He didn't make me feel at home at all except for offering tea one morning. Otherwise he was short and pre-occupied. The other permanent resident there didn't say more than 'Hi', I don't even know what his name is. Very odd situation and I made sure to get out of the house as much as I could. One night another guest was standing outside with no instructions on where to go or how to reach Coleman so I got my flashlight and helped him (he was staying in one of the trailers).

The positive side of staying here was the cost and the 'retreat' factor which just basically means it's a backwoods type house. Quiet nights would have allowed better sleep if I could breathe properly but a handful of nights I woke up congested and needing to clear my sinuses from all the dust I was inhaling. 

I don't consider this place an Eco-retreat, let alone a place to relax and refresh, which is all too bad because the house has fantastic potential as you can tell from the pictures. 

And to clarify, I did not communicate this with Coleman. I regrettably stuck it out and accepted it as part of the experience. I would not stay here again."
315378,19373293,2014-09-11,19749682,Deborah,"The location was great. Close to major thoroughfares in S. Austin, but removed from the congestion and city scene. The house was large, and my room was huge. 
I don't need A/C, blow dryer or microwaves, so didn't have a problem with the solar energy. I didn't even turn on the fans.
This is not the place for your typical traveler. But if you want to do your bit by contributing to the environment with an eco-friendly stay, this is a good option. "
315378,20878850,2014-10-06,3408211,Gerhard,"We had a very pleasant stay at coleman's during the acl festival. Coleman is very hospitable and received us even though we arrived in the middle of the night. He was also very helpful in providing directions, and guided us in the right direction when it was time to continue our road trip. We couldn't have had a better host! The room was spacious and nice, in the middle of this green lounge not far from the festival area. Only problem we had were the mosquitos. Highly recomendable!"
315378,25804408,2015-01-26,25317231,Ryan,"The experience that I had staying at Cole's place was exactly what the Dr. ordered (two weeks!). The inside of the house was inviting and comfortable to relax in, and the outside was serene and tranquil. Coleman was one of the nicest persons that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. And, if I am correct, I believe I made a friend to stay in touch with. As I was staying for two weeks, I happened to meet a few other people at Cole's house through Airbnb, and made a few more friends too. I highly recommend Coleman as an Airbnb Host. He's friendly, enjoyable to be around, lets you have peace when you need it, and he can teach a lot about the health of living. I loved staying there, and when I go back I'll be staying there again."
315378,25983489,2015-01-31,25758051,Charlie,"Coleman has great communication and he is prompt to respond. The place is a nice, hidden and green spot in the middle of Austin concrete jungle. He put the wood stove on for me during the chilly days while I was there. It is a rustic place where the bed was comfy, the shower was hot and the wood stove just gave  a relaxing warm feel to it. I really enjoyed my stay and the conversations with him. "
315378,26715106,2015-02-17,16787643,Hannah,"Coleman invited us to make ourselves at home in our large room heated by a wood-burning stove, and explore his beautiful green property.  Although I felt like I was staying out in the country, we were very close to the city center.  Coleman is an interesting and sincere person- be sure to ask him about his latest project! "
315378,27028057,2015-02-23,8198388,Kacey,"Coleman's place is great.  He's got a bunch of quiet land, wood stove heat, solar power, the space was huge, the other guests were super nice, and he was easy to communicate with. "
315378,27671041,2015-03-09,27857353,Joseph,"I stayed at Coleman's for a whole week, and felt at home the entire time. He is a very friendly guy who welcomed me openly, helped me get settled upon my arrival, and was sure to make sure I had everything I needed. it was a great experience in a calm, collected environment. I will recommending to all I know. Thanks Coleman. "
315378,27823899,2015-03-12,585271,Leticia,"Coleman's place is always inviting, an adventure and an international house of pan cakes. What I mean by that IHOP reference is that you're always meeting well traveled individuals which can excite great conversations with you. In addition, Coleman was accommodating with my arrival time and I was truly thankful for that.
Overall, my stay was grand! :-) "
315378,28835854,2015-03-30,29649533,Danny,"Great space with lots of room. Wonderful balance of city proximity and isolation. Right on south congress, but land is secluded enough to be very peaceful."
315378,29796786,2015-04-12,6759162,Nishant,"Colemans retreat is a gem of place in Austin. The place is rustic, retro and comfortable. We rented this big bedroom with attached bath. Beds are comfortable. Elements at this home rekindles the eco friendly factor in you. It was raining that weekend, so electricity was limited as Solar is the main source. But that was not a biggie. Room is very well ventilated. Surrondings are close to the nature. You will not feel you are in the capital of Texas. However, Colemans place is very accessible to Dowtown and SoCo. I took Uber to roam around and it was very convinient. Coleman is very good person and friendly. My normal weekend in Austin was turned into a complete retreat for both of us. Kitchen is well equipped. Looking forward to rent again soon."
315378,36910372,2015-07-02,32385555,Paul,"This was kind of awkward. Coleman was out of town and the place was in need of attention and a LOT of cleaning. There were piles of dirt (or something) on the couch and other chairs in the room so there wasn't really a place to sit comfortably. I would have broken out a broom, but there were roaches I had to brush off the bed, so I found a different place to stay.

With all that said, Coleman was cool about me changing my reservation (was originally going to stay for two weeks), so perhaps when he is present and this place is cleaner, this could be a cool place to stay."
315378,48989924,2015-09-30,33207547,Adam,"I'd just like to say that I had and awesome time at Coleman's place. He really made me feel at home. Coleman is a very open person and provided things, interesting insights and groovy talks. "
315378,51887727,2015-10-25,38272550,Susan,Coleman was very helpful and responsive to questions during and before our stay. Lots of great advice about places in the area. Very private room: private entrance and private bathroom. Not in the city's hub but accessible by bus which is close by. We loved that the house is eco friendly but we did lose power due to rare lack of sun. But we did have emergency power to charge phones and plenty of hot water. Comfy big beds. Plenty of towels and essentials. We would recommend staying with Coleman.

366403,12447381,2014-05-02,786142,Carter,"Had to work in Austin on a short notice and luckily found Grace's place.  She was very prompt with responses during and after booking, and when I had the pleasure of meeting her found her engaging and lovely.  Now the place.  The photos do it no justice.  It is evident that a lot of work went into converting this garage into a cool space.  The yard is directly outside the windowed wall, and there is clear privacy, so not having curtains or blinds is a non issue.  The bathroom has a cool pull out door with privacy shading.  I slept on the couch, and did see the air mattresses, but it was just me and I was fine.  Grace is generous with towels and other niceties to make you comfortable and there is a washer and dryer available, which I didn't need.  Overall, this is a great place in a funky town, and it fits in excellently, certainly a good slice of Austin."
366403,12870204,2014-05-12,15143802,Kelly,"Grace was very accommodating and communicative (I got in late the first night), and the space was FANTASTIC - exactly as described, but really much, much better.  Fantastic interior space, the yard is GREAT, and the surrounding neighborhood is phenomenal.  Highly, highly recommended!  Truly felt like a home away from home."
366403,17183293,2014-08-08,5709145,Jenny,"My daughter and I felt right at home at Grace's place. The furnishings and décor were lovely, and having a washer and dryer were an added bonus. Grace made us feel right at home and made sure that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. With a location within walking distance (about a block away) to local eateries, this was a great place."
366403,18608287,2014-08-28,11094732,Kelan,"Grace was a great host, and the apartment was just I needed for a quick little one night stay.  Grace was accommodating and made the whole process a breeze. "
366403,18925110,2014-09-02,13225960,Megan,"Grace gave us a warm welcome, cranking on the A/C before we arrived, and even inflating the air mattress for us while we were out to dinner on day one.  Checking in and out was a breeze.

We stayed in the Grace’s Garage Apt listing, and it is very cute, and matches the description.  I loved that the space was a separate building, and we could come and go without disturbing anyone.  I will say, if you’re a very private (or paranoid) person, the wall of French doors that open to the back yard have no curtains, so if you’re bothered by the idea that the host might see you sleeping when they let their (very friendly) dog Mingus out, perhaps this isn’t the listing for you.  In that case, Grace’s other listing – the Efficiency – would be a better bet. 

It was also really convenient being around the corner from Thunderbird Coffee – where my party regrouped and caffeinated every morning.  Getting to the hot Austin destinations was very easy.

Altogether an excellent stay with an excellent host."
366403,19165422,2014-09-07,9949502,Zach,Grace was a great host!  Easy to deal with and her place was same as advertised.  Her place is very close to downtown Austin and the UT campus.  I would definitely stay again.

366403,20927430,2014-10-07,16710472,Chad,Grace and Greg were seriously the best hosts. We got in late on a Friday but everything was ready for us and check-in was a breeze. The space is very clean with modern appliances and awesome art on the walls. Grace was super accommodating with anything we needed and had plenty of tips for ACL and nearby eats. She recommended Mi Madre for breakfast tacos and we have to agree with her on that one. I cannot recommend staying with Grace enough. I know I will be again!
366403,21281275,2014-10-14,19058142,Cindy,We had a great experience staying at Grace's place. It was just as described and she was an excellent host. She made sure we had everything we needed. The neighborhood was also excellent. There were tons of awesome restaurants at walking distance. We never had to go far to get great food.
366403,21470752,2014-10-18,8427553,Brian,"What a great spot! The place is as cozy as it looks. An easy place to relax, especially with the spots outside in the yard to hang out in. Grace made the check in and check out incredibly easy and simple. The laundry machine in the unit was also a lifesaver after walking around on a hot day. A great location for getting around Austin, and the neighborhood itself is worth checking out, with some nice conveniences (a good coffee shop, semi fancy restaurant, and a gas station for grabbing some beer) literally on the end of the block. You'll enjoy it here. "
366403,22355468,2014-11-04,19065949,Matthew,"Grace and Greg were awesome hosts. The apartment was spacious and very clean. The place is stocked with just about anything you'd need from a french press to board games. With a large couch and multiple air mattresses, the place is great for a short to extended stay. Nearby are great restaurants and bars for all your food and beverage needs. Downtown is easily accessible by bus, light rail or a cheap Uber ride during normal rates. Overall, my party had a great time in Austin and would definitely come back to stay with Grace and Greg."
366403,22625885,2014-11-10,23271847,Peter,"This was great. Greg was a fantastic host and his place was very clean, organized, and inviting. They were also very gracious about letting us have a few friends over after the UT vs WVU game. I would certainly go back. "
366403,23217948,2014-11-25,23316204,Cassandra,"We were so pleased with this stay, as it was perfect for us to be able to come and go as we pleased. I appreciated that everything within the apartment was there for us to use, which is definitely not something you're able to get when visiting in a hotel. Grace was wonderful and so understanding with the few hiccups we had, and she did her best to resolve any issues that came up during our stay. We were very impressed!"
366403,24003745,2014-12-16,5407045,David,Very easy and simple check in and check out (greatly reduced my stress considering how flight delays constantly occur). Easy place to find and a perfect spot to use as a launch pad to exploring all things Austin.  Very spacious space and I love the fact a great coffee shop was at the end of the road. 
366403,24605497,2014-12-31,6409804,Alex,"An amazing experience at Grace's cozy place. She first alerted me a week advance saying that she would HAVE to move me into her bigger place due to upcoming event have had planed. Hard to be upset the with the upgrade and happy with the clear communication. On the subject of communication, FLAWLESS. Always available  and gave us the heads up that the room was ready earlier than normal. Great news being that we arrived in from our over night drive a bit earlier than expected. 
 All and all, it would be a pleasure to come back and stay with Grace. I would in fact recommend it highly."
366403,25073653,2015-01-05,25553088,Daniel,"The place was great! I didn't get to meet the host but that wasn't a problem at all. Her instructions were very simple. The overall experience was as enjoyable. It was a very cozy spot, beautiful backyard and it was very presentable. I would definitely stay here again."
366403,27666177,2015-03-09,27558470,Kat,"We really enjoyed our recent stay in ATX at Grace's backhouse.   Upon our arrival, the charming landscape, which I am sure will only become prettier in the upcoming spring months, and the cute décor of the space made us feel immediately comfortable and at home.  We briefly spoke to Grace who was very friendly and inviting.  While the space does not have a bed (this info was made clear to us prior to and subsequent to booking the space), this posed no problem at all.  Actually, we are now avid supporters of the amazing l-shaped sofa!  It is very large and provided my husband and I with a great night's sleep!  And Grace's little welcoming touches throughout the home were much appreciated.  All in all, we had a very relaxing and tranquil experience!  Thanks so much, Grace!  "
366403,28460043,2015-03-24,9106932,Lucija,"Grace and her husband Gregg were probably one of the greatest host I ever had. They were helpful and welcome us with plenty of written information about Austin, city travel, maps and etc. They were very kind and friendly and the apartment was clean, warm, cosy and not far away from downtown (aprox 30min by foot). Me and my friends had a great time in Austin, we didn't have any problems with finding the apt, Grace was easy to contact and they also left us some welcome beer in the fridge and fruits :) 
I gladly recommend her and her husband as hosts in Austin, without a doubt :)"
366403,49666146,2015-10-05,1880087,Johanna,"Grace's place was exactly as described in the listing. It is very cute and in a great location. Great coffee and places to eat are literally at the end of the block. Grace was really easy to communicate and was very accommodating. Yes there is no bed, but the coach was super comfy. I would definitely recommend Grace's place and will stay here again next time I'm in Austin. Thanks again Grace & Greg! "
366403,52118149,2015-10-26,44801844,Sevan,"As first time users of Airbnb we were pleasantly surprised with our experience. Grace was an excellent host who responded quickly to any of our questions and accomodated us with any of our needs. The place was clean, well appointed, private, had a beautiful yard. Excellent location near UT, a stones throw from Rainy, and a very short uber to 6th and downtown. We couldnt ask for anything more. If we are ever in thearea again, we would definitely stay here if it's available. Thank you for the hospitality Grace."
5375637,28476821,2015-03-24,27591720,Johnny,"Host left us free beer and a really cute cat to keep up company.  House was great, clean and cute, 0 complaints. Loved it"
5375637,30827830,2015-04-27,31405720,Nicole,"I want to thank Holly for allowing some friends and I to rent her condo for the weekend. The condo was very cozy and a perfect amount of space for 4 adults. The host, George the cat, was also a pleasure to be around. He was very friendly and loveable. This condo is a perfect location to downtown, you can get pretty much anywhere in Austin in a reasonable time. Thank you again for being such a great hostess!   "
5375637,40336471,2015-07-30,1156698,Mary,"My family rented Holly’s apt for 5 weeks.  Before I agreed to rent this apt I spoke with Holly via email and telephone informed her that we were partially on vacation, but the majority of the time we would be working remotely from her apt. We needed internet and a quiet environment to take work related calls and meetings.  She assured me everything was in working order in her unit and there would be no issues.
 
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.  During my stay, I contacted Holly several times with concerns or issues that she did not disclose of before I rented this property. I felt she was annoyed and dismissive.  All in all, the conditions of her unit were poor and host was not forthcoming about the issues we would encounter during our stay.  Had we known all of these issues beforehand we would not have agreed to rent this unit.
 
1. Washer:  A few days prior to my arrival Holly informed me that her washer has not been working properly. The drum on the Washer is broken causing it to make a really loud, unbearable noise.  The noise is so loud that you can't even hold a conversation, watch tv, or much less take work related calls while doing your laundry. 
2. Apt:  no hangers, dresser drawers were broken, dining chairs are flimsy, and the ad said cable TV, there is no cable.
3. Bug Infestation: Apt was infested with centipedes and bugs.  I killed between 30 - 40 centipedes a day; crawling on ceilings, walls, furniture, beds, floors, everywhere. I contacted the host and she said she didn't know how to get rid of them and that she thought they were entering her unit because of the rains.  It rained 4 days out of my entire trip.  She could've hired an exterminator. 
4. Roofers:  host texted me that roofers would be fixing a leak and it would not disturb me.  I told her it would absolutely disturb us because we are working from her home and the loud banging and hammering would interrupt our day.  I asked her to be sensitive to our work schedule.  She said it was out of her control and could not tell me the day and time they were coming so I could rearrange my schedule and calls. She asked me to call the roofers myself to reschedule. When I refused she rescheduled to after I left. The roofers showed up while I was still in the apt and started during our morning conference calls. 
5. Cat: ad said she has a cat living in her unit that was self-sufficient; only needed food and water.  I was ok with that.   Holly left me a long list of instructions to care for her cat.  She asked me to feed him, brush him, apply flea treatment, and apply a medication to his nose. I never agreed to be her cat's sitter.  She did not disclose this beforehand. I found this to be unprofessional and opportunistic.
 "
5375637,46247245,2015-09-08,3808151,Ray,"We stayed at Holly's apartment for 2 nights and it was a great experience. She left beers and wine for us and gave us instructions on how to use the tv. The condo was clean, neat and cozy. Geroge the house cat is very sweet and affectionate, however if you're allergic to animals then you might have to think twice before you make the reservation. Overall great experience and def would recommend friends to stay at Holly's. "
5375637,50432546,2015-10-12,35567207,Bailey,"Holly did an awesome job trying to make us feel at home! She left great instructions and even went out of her way to make a list of restaurants for us. We had a great time, especially with George the cat! She was super easy to communicate with and was there if we had any questions. Definitely want to make a trip back to Austin! "

5580213,29901718,2015-04-13,24017095,Dave,"Staying at Nikki's felt like winning the AirBnb lottery. I was stressed about some important meetings that came up suddenly, and I left Houston not knowing where I'd stay in Austin. Nikki not only accommodated a last-minute booking request, she brought calm and positive energy to the end of my day. The place is exactly as described and what I expected. The couch is super comfy. Everything worked out perfectly. Fantastic bNb experience!"
5580213,31676088,2015-05-08,18454798,Markus,really nice place with a nice owner ;) I thank you Nikki for the stay. Was a nice time in Austin.

5580213,33014744,2015-05-24,32763129,Lauren,"Great little place, exactly what I was looking for, with a comfy couch.  The place was exactly as described and Nikki was a great hostess, easy going and very helpful.  Her dog is super cute, too! She had great recommendations on where to eat and what to do-the locals always know best.  Perfect location, close to the heart of everything happening in Austin.  I would recommend anyone looking for a quick trip to bunk with her!"
5580213,33462438,2015-05-28,1985542,Stephen A,"Nikki was an exceptional host. Absolutely helpful and accommodating. It was like staying with an old college friend. The location is great. Close to Downtown and the North Central area with lots of great restaurants nearby. And the couch s very comfortable.
Thanks Again."

5580213,35048667,2015-06-14,25407967,Kevin,"Had a great stay and I'm sure I will be back for another.  Although busy with other matters, Nikki surprised me by making the couch with linens and setting a glass of water out on the coffee table for me after these 100+ degree days at ROT Rally. This host also ranks one of the most interesting people I have met while traveling, having travelled so much herself.  The dog in this residence is quiet, friendly and well behaved.  I even enjoyed watching TV for an hour one afternoon while cooling off before heading back out.  Do not stay here so this couch will remain available for me to return.   :)"
5580213,37266113,2015-07-05,35591360,Andrew,"Nikki was a great host for the brief time I stayed with her! She was super flexible on my arrival time as I pushed it back until 2 in the morning as the night wore on.  I arrived and had towels and sheets waiting for me and the couch was surprisingly comfortable with plenty of room(I'm 5'10"").  Definitely  recommend staying with her. It's only 10 minutes drive to downtown!  I would stay with her again in a heartbeat. "
5580213,38062728,2015-07-12,10736115,Isaac,Nikki was very helpful in suggesting places to see and things to do. The accommodation was comfortable and all the amenity were available. I would definitely stay with her again when I visit Austin.

During my stay, my sleep was interrupted by a loud knock on the front door at 2:30 am. "

Maggie is awesome & super friendly, & Nikki was more than helpful with helping me navigate the city, as I had never been before & was visiting for Austin City Limits. If you're ever in the Austin area, do not miss out on the opportunity to stay with Nikki. She made my introduction to Airbnb an amazing one & I can't wait to see where I end up next. "

We booked this place with Steve and it worked out perfectly.  It is closer to down town than we expected, only a 3 minute drive.  The place, and Steve, makes you feel right at home.  Would, definitely, consider staying here again."

969488,10981237,2014-03-16,6854834,Bobby,Steve was great. He was extremely responsive and easy to touch base with for check in and check out.

5636082,30432514,2015-04-21,31298754,Jordan,I had an Amazing experience staying at Lindsey's place! She couldn't have made me feel more welcome and even showed me around some of the places on 5th and 6th. The Location is incredible. Less than 50m from the heart of 6th and a stroll to Rainey street yet still quiet enough to get some good rest. The Accom was also very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend staying here!
5636082,30882568,2015-04-28,14485000,Rich,"Lindsey was there when I arrived and communicated up front to make sure I had all the info I needed. It is such a gift to meet her and stay in the Bnb/Co-working space on 5th St. - Lindsey is professional, hospitable and a delight. The space is very creative and worked out well. No ceilings in the rooms and curtains on the doors gives a hostel like experience, but the comfy bed with great linens and clean place feels like a a great BnB.  And the location is awesome.  Look forward to staying there again sometime."

In the perfect location, with all the amenities one would expect from a good host, for a very reasonable rate.  However, the cars on the street can be loud, so bring earplugs.  Think super-hostel.  And Lindsey is a VERY responsive host.  Will be back!"

Besides the attracting loft, Lindsey and her friend Kaola are both very considerate, friendly and helpful. They made everything easy and I just felt at home. How I wish I could stay in Austin and live in Lindsey's loft for much more time!"

5636082,34885282,2015-06-13,17155122,Kristen,"The Live * Work * Play Loft in Austin was awesome. The loft is super homey and welcoming, and filled with people with really cool stories (sports and fitness writers, yoga instructors, friends taking trips together, and more). It's also located exactly where you want to be in Austin--right downtown, near a bunch of historical sites. The loft was a little noisy because many of the rooms are open ceiling so sound travels easily, but the general atmosphere made up for it. "
5636082,35789215,2015-06-22,22433123,Stephane,"Thank you so much Kaela for your professionalism:
Great hospitality
Lovely loft
Perfect location
Weird city ;)
All the best

5636082,36237098,2015-06-26,28485026,Imran,Very convenient location. Took 100 bus from the airport for $1.75. It was clean and the host gave detailed instructions in advance. One thing is that I expected a room with the door as opposed to a cubicle like partition with walls and a curtain. Perhaps that's how the loft are. Nevertheless I enjoyed my stay.
5636082,36543034,2015-06-29,14860230,Shayna,"I cannot say enough good things about staying here! Lindsey and Kaela were fantastic hosts and have created an amazing community at this downtown loft. There were 3 other girls staying there at the same time as I and we all spent time together exploring the city, the restaurants, the bars, etc. The space was totally clean and comfortable and in a great location. I highly recommend staying here! "
5636082,37085253,2015-07-04,35905034,Nicole,"This was my first airbnb experience and I loved Lindsey's place. It was everything the description said and more. The greatest part of staying here is meeting all the other loft-mates. The location is perfect for the true Austin downtown experience, and also close to SoCo and the river. I was able to walk, uber, and bus anywhere I needed to go. It made for a very genuinely local Austin stay. "
5636082,37862218,2015-07-11,34236613,Josh,"Lindsey has a wonderful AirBnB!  It was perfect for what I was doing in Austin!  Being only blocks from the convention center, a block from 6th Street, and only two blocks to the nearest bus terminal was fantastic!  It made my time in Austin marvelous!

Location aside, the SWAP Loft was awesome to sit and hang out in during breaks from the event I was attending and the full kitchen made saving money on eating out really easy.  Also, having a washer and dryer meant I could pack lighter and wash what I needed to for the week.  

All the people at the loft were awesome and it made the time fly by.  I was never bored sitting in a hotel room trying to find something to do.  Conversations were easy to start with the great people who stayed there!  

The desk areas were great to sit down and get some work done which I really appreciated being away from my business for a week.  I could sit down and hammer through a bunch of work easily without feeling like I was in someone's way. 

If I ever get back to Austin for an event and am staying solo like I was last week, I will definitely look at staying at this loft again! Thank you again for the great experience.  Lindsey has a great place and Kaela, the Chief Experience Officer, made the whole time great!  You really must check out Kaela's board of the best food trucks in town!  Awesome! "

5636082,39081666,2015-07-20,36350517,Mark,"Awesome place, more like a grown-up hostel- a nice play to stay and meet like-minded people. Lindsey/Kaela both very helpful and location is perfect. Thanks!"
5636082,40110232,2015-07-28,2749424,Caroline,"Really nice place to stay in Austin. The work area and kitchen are spacious and there's lots of information about the area and suggestions of what to do around the space. The bedroom was nicely decorated and comfortable. Big shared bathroom also with a washer and dryer. It's also ideally situated, if i wasn't visiting surrounding areas on my trip, there would have been no need for a car. I would definitely stay again and will recommend to anybody I know visiting the area."
5636082,41346660,2015-08-07,33836182,Susan,"A wonderful place to stay.  Lindsey and Keala offer great recommendations on places to see live music, eat food, and other activities around Austin.  "
5636082,42117982,2015-08-11,32085654,Alvin,"Spacious, charming, warm & welcoming.  I can't say enough good things about this loft.  Between the decor and the location, the loft added to the wonder of being in the beautiful City of Austin for the first time.   Despite being a lone traveler, the other guests, who were just as appreciative as I was, made me feel at home.   I'm worried about the availability of this place the next time I visit, which is a certainty.   Lindsey & Kaela did an amazing job putting this place together and I can't thank them enough.  "
5636082,42702492,2015-08-15,33296047,Lauren,"The SWAP loft was incredible as always. The purple room was really nice and cozy - it was so nice to have my own room! There wasn't very much room on the side of the bed for all of my luggage and clothes, but that's because I had a LOT of stuff :) All in all, I enjoyed my stay!"

5636082,46708548,2015-09-13,36392271,Eduardo,"Great place to stay in the heart of Austin. The SWAP loft is the perfect hub to visit the most important places downtown. 

I appreciated the amenities provided besides bedding, like work spaces, kitchen, and washer/dryer."
5636082,51890883,2015-10-25,39715947,Lucas,"Very good place to stay in downtown Austin, close to bars and restaurants and not spending much! Easy to get there by bus from the airport. It's clean and well organized. And the host (Kaela) is a very nice person and received me really well!"
6449935,33209768,2015-05-25,24273980,Charlotte,Adrian was wonderful!  He was incredibly kind and welcoming and made us feel totally comfortable.  We were only stopping in Austin for the night on a cross country road trip and Adrian's place was the perfect spot to rest up before the next days travels. It is in a great location where great restaurants and bars are easily accessible.  What topped it all of was that he woke up early to make us breakfast to go for our long car ride! Some delicious breakfast tacos- mmmmm.  Adrian was great and provided a lovely place to rest and explore the city from.  Perfect for young people wanting a cheap place to stay in the lively city of Austin.
6449935,33411034,2015-05-27,25005076,Tina Marie,"Wow! What an amazing guy! Adrian and his people were warm, welcoming, hospitable and fun! Adrian's apartment has all the essentials. It is clean, safe and cool in the heat of Texas. I felt as if I've known Adrian for years. This is how you meet him and this is how you leave. After two short days I felt like family. Adrian, you are an amazing individual. Thank you for opening your home to us. God Speed!!!"

Though we didn't get to meet him on the trip, his friend Amanda was the sweetest; she came out to hang downtown, and even gave us a ride when our car got towed! Wonderful location less than a 10 minute drive to 6th Street. All in all, it was a lovely stay. Would definitely recommend."
6449935,37936246,2015-07-11,38020582,Ryan,"Adrian has a very nice apartment  room could have been a little colder that would be my only complaint  , slight traffic noise outside but that's to be expected in hustle and bustle of Austin , great value for what your getting !"
6449935,38228566,2015-07-13,37888101,Bryce,I had a great experience! The space was clean and very comfortable. Exactly as described and shown in pictures. Very convenient location to all parts of Austin. 
6449935,39073687,2015-07-20,6639669,Anders,"Adrian greeted my wife and I with much attention, showed us around and was eager to answer all questions and see to, that we had a good experience. All communication prior to arrival went smoothly.

From there on, we lived with his roommate and Adrian stayed somewhere else. I've asked Adrian to change his description on this matter, as that detail was not to our knowledge prior to arrival. It is different living with a roommate, than living with ones host, as we as guest can't really have any expectations on the roommates way of living (it's his house). Luckily, the roommate is a nice guy too, and easy to talk to. One night he held a small party, but kept the noise down on our request.

The location is ok: SOCO, Eastside and downtown are easily reached by car. The area in itself has some traffic noise and is not that .. romantic or exciting. But parking is easy and access to highway is easy. It felt safe as well due to the traffic."

6449935,40002860,2015-07-27,15824473,Ted,"Host's phone wasn't working properly during our visit, so our communication was limited. Apartment was clean, but the bedroom was quite warm, even with the ceiling fan running on high. Bedroom faces a major highway, so it can be noisy. Lots of random people passing into/out of the apartment, including a few people sleeping in the middle of the living room floor in the morning. Definitely a throwback to college living.

One issue: during our one-night stay, we used up the last of the toilet paper and couldn't find any spare rolls. No response from the host, so we had to go out and buy our own. Not the biggest deal in the world, but..."
6449935,40152076,2015-07-28,38483146,Stefanie,"Top located - only abt 10 mins drive to downtown. Check in was super easy and Adrian was available right away to help out with some suggestions on where to and where not to go. Room was clean, so was the entire apartment. Had a great night in a beautiful city!!!"
6449935,40349825,2015-07-30,23833131,Guilherme,We had a great time here in Austin l. The place is very good. Even for us with no car. Your hints were very helpful :). Thanks for everything.
6449935,41230062,2015-08-05,15915094,George,"Adrian's place was great. The room was a good size for the price, and was a perfect place to stay while we were out doing things in the city. He met us when we arrived, and stayed elsewhere while we were there to give us some privacy. He does live with a roommate, who we only ever saw once and was perfectly hospitable.

The location is a little bit out of the way, but Austin is pretty walkable and Uber/Lyft will get you anywhere for a very cheap fare. We had a great time.  "
6449935,41523066,2015-08-07,40243087,Wang,"A good stay. the room is comfortable and clean. The roommate is handsome and nice guy. Although there was no wifi temporarily, this problem can be solved by using wifi of the apartment office downstairs."
6449935,41898389,2015-08-09,38700674,Takuma,Adrian was a friendly guy and we were pretty comfortable staying here
6449935,43270423,2015-08-18,15902873,Soledad,"The room was clean and as described. The flatmate was kind to us when he arrived.

However, we were permanently between 6-8 people in the apartment ( 4 people sleeping over in the tiny living room which gives directly to the room).

Adrian never intriduced himself to us even if we crossed him in the apartment at least three times, but felt the need to excuse himself by airbnb message to cover his back.

We felt as in the middle of a full party weekend in the apartment of some teenangers and we were the surveying adults, from whom you hide things and do not say hi.

It was noisy and when we popped out of the room we always felt like we were annoying them.

For this reason, when we decided to extend our stay in Austin we looked for another place in Austin, this time a lovely place with private bathroom not far away.

In addition, there was no wifi in the apartment. The backboard in the room said there was a connexion by the pool but nothing.

Honestly, it is the worst airbnb experience so far."
6449935,43524515,2015-08-20,17221218,Scott,"I was unable to make the trip due to airline cancellations with my flight in Baltimore.  
This host was understanding and communicative."
6449935,43994152,2015-08-23,32598562,Leah,We were both perfectly happy with our experience. Staying with Adrian was hassle-free and we appreciated being given lots of space. 
6449935,45594366,2015-09-04,38170665,Natalie,"We had a great stay and Adrian was an excellent host. The location is great! Very close to down town with the bus as an option and only an 8$uber ride to 6th street. Adrian was very sweet, provided us with everything we needed and was both he and his roommate were very friendly and helpful. Excellent stay, would highly recommend!"
6449935,45956933,2015-09-07,38376035,Brandon,"This listing was exactly as described, and in a very convenient and central location in Austin. For my first AirBnB experience everything went as smoothly as it possibly could. Although we personally did not have the opportunity to meet Adrian, all communication was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent. Oh and my apologize for leaving our left over tacos from Chuy's in the fridge (realized that while on I was on my flight back). Thank you for everything and would recommend to anyone visiting Austin!"
6449935,46174170,2015-09-08,10712930,Erika,"The place was nice and affordable. For the price, I had everything I needed and Adrian was quick with any questions I had. Will definitely stay here again when I visit Austin! "
6449935,47169454,2015-09-16,4466564,Audrey,"Adrian été  super, il m'a donné tous les renseignements dont j'avais besoi. L'appartement est propre est bien situé. L'arrêt de bus est juste en face de chez lui. Vraiment un très bin séjour. Merci encore."
6449935,48875121,2015-09-29,18893405,Patricia,"What an amazing city! The location of the apartment is really good, with access to public transportation or even a (long) walk to downtown. Nice quiet neighborhood.
Adrian is a cool host, always trying to make our stay better.
100% recommendable! "
6449935,49217517,2015-10-02,15027580,Mike,Adrians place was clean and he added the extra touch by providing local tips plus a bus map.  Very helpful through in through out
6449935,49770798,2015-10-06,38591222,Sharon,"Everything was great! Bed was comfy, host was super welcoming and nice. We had no problem finding the place and it was in a safe gated community. The pool was beautiful and the apartment was nice. We would definitely go back!"
6449935,50621274,2015-10-13,30077194,Wynell,"The location was very convenient and the apartment was very clean. The room was a little warm but we had a comfortable stay. Although we never met Adrian, he was great at communicating with us via Airbnb and had lots of helpful tips!"
6449935,51475077,2015-10-20,25645748,Anne,"Adrian's place was clean, comfortable and affordable! We only stayed for one night so we never actually crossed paths with him but his roommate, Christian, was really nice and gave us some good tips. We particularly liked that there was a pool! The only downsides are: no wifi in the apartment (but there is at the pool), and it's a little far from the main drag of South Congress--about a 30 min walk. "
6449935,52823100,2015-11-02,26270413,Shannon,"Great room, host, and stay. Would stay again without hesitation. Thank you! "
277028,766668,2011-12-05,1465407,Sharon,"Michael was a great host. We needed a place last-minute in Austin where 3 of us could crash and make the most of a rained-out weekend. Michael basically vacated the place to make space, and we moved on in, making meals& cookies on a cold night, playing games, and when the weather cleared a bit, walking (20 min) downtown. And thanks for the fresh eggs from your ducks and chickens--nice little urban homestead."
277028,954109,2012-02-27,1133974,Snowden,"Staying with Michael was awesome! He has a keypad door so you don't have to worry about key exchange. He was gone most of the time so we kind of had the place to ourselves. He was definitely a guy that I would hang out with, very cool, very down to earth. The place was clean and quaint. He allowed us full use over the fresh eggs from his urban backyard garden. The room was great, big bed, every channel on the big flat screen you can imagine. My friend from the area said she had never stayed anywhere so close to 6th street and downtown before. It is literally walking distance or a very short car ride. I highly recommend staying with Michael if you get the chance!"
277028,2680179,2012-10-22,3424172,Shannon,A group of us rented Michael's house for a weekend and enjoyed our stay!  The keypad on the door made it very convenient for us.  The house was clean and has a lot of character.  The backyard is very large and has a garden and chickens.  We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and listening to music.  Michael reached out and made sure everything was fine throughout the weekend which was nice.  We all agreed we would stay there again.
277028,3493367,2013-02-07,467116,Izabela,"Our stay was great, and Michael was very friendly and on top of everything. I  wish we had more time to enjoy the wonderful backyard. The chickens & ducks back here were awesome, and so were all the fun little details in the house.   The only bad part was the driveway into the house is pretty much on a highway access road, so its a little nerve rattling to get in and out of the place during rush hour.  The overall neighborhood is one of the best in Austin, though.  "
277028,3976665,2013-04-01,5014504,Treasure,The house was perfect and Micheal is an excellent host! I would definitely rent this house again and recommend it to others. My only complaint is that we had to leave on Sunday to head back to reality.  Here's a link to a blogpost one of girls did about the weekend that touches on the house: (website hidden)
277028,4831677,2013-05-28,5506997,Laura,"We could not have been more pleased with the accommodations and with Michael's hospitality! The house was perfect for our family's Austin getaway! From the comfortable and eclectic living room complete with turntable, great album collection, flat screen tv and pet duck and chicken viewing to the fantastic back yard with fresh herbs and veggies at your fingertips as well as fire pit....we will definitely be back. Michael was a fantastic resource for all things Austin and the location was minutes from everything we needed. A+++"
277028,8136337,2013-10-17,6321983,Suzy,Very knowledgeable host and great house to stay in! 
277028,8408099,2013-10-29,2527550,Arielle,"A group of 5, including myself, visited Austin for the first time for sporting event and weren't sure where to stay. We stumbled upon Michael's house on Airbnb and figured it looked sufficient.

I'm happy to report we had a WONDERFUL stay! The house was in a great central location for all of our activities, close access to the highway, an easy jaunt to downtown, and walking to neighborhood essentials such as coffee, groceries, and a few cafes.

Michael made us all very comfortable and met us at the house to give us a walk through. The home had everything we needed including fresh eggs and garden-fresh vegetables for meals, lots of entertainment, and an OUTSTANDING outdoor area for hanging out.

Our only complaint was that we had to eventually go home!"
277028,9213888,2013-12-14,6828156,Katie,"The record player, the fresh eggs, the organic garden-- everything was perfect. Such a quintessential Austin experience and host. Thanks, Michael, for making our week in Austin a memorable one."
277028,10273430,2014-02-10,1011844,Rene,"This is a fabulous place to stay when visiting Austin for business or pleasure.  The location is convenient to downtown as well as to Zilker Park.  It was an $8 to $10 cab ride and we had no problem getting a cab to pick us up from the house to enjoy the Austin nightlife and not need to mess with parking.  Michael is a great host, providing special perks like bikes, helmets and locks, fresh eggs, a record player and even some adult bererages upon checkin.  I stayed with two other adults  for a business conference being held at the Hyatt and we all had are own room and the free parking(there is room for at least four cars) and internet make it an incredible value.  We saw the gardner one morning but never heard a peep.  It was cold and rainy when I visited so I didn't get to use the firepit, but hope to return.  And great communication before, at checkin and during the visit.  It is a great place to visit.  Definitely a 5 star experience."
277028,12618752,2014-05-06,7044529,Marcy,We had a wonderful stay here! Very relaxed atmosphere with all the amenities. Michael was very personable and a great host. 
277028,17032520,2014-08-05,17983012,Susan,"Michael was welcoming and helpful. The place was very warm, inviting and charming. I loved the backyard which was enough to make any man happy, once you see it you'll know what i'm talking about. The chickens and ducks were an added bonus to make our stay a truly unique and fun experience. Location was great and convenient... close to everything especially the night life. I wouldn't mind staying here again!"
277028,20896603,2014-10-07,4034093,Libby,Michael was so accommodating and helpful! The duck eggs every morning made for a fantastic start to the day! The patio is so charming and you really can't beat the location. Walking distance to Zilker along the jogging trail! Would totally stay here again!
277028,30072527,2015-04-17,6662752,Sam,"We stayed here for a bachelorette party with 9 girls and really enjoyed it! The backyard was really great, we really liked the chickens and ducks. Michael was very responsive and tended to all our needs. We would absolutely stay here again. Easy Uber rides to downtown, in under 10 minutes. "

277028,49763541,2015-10-06,32825146,Shannon,"Michael met us at the house on the first day to review the basic features of the house.  He was friendly and had a case of beer for us in the fridge. He explained that his 2 bikes were stolen during previous tenants' stay, but offered to pick us up later that day to go into town to rent bikes for the weekend. We opted to use our feet because it is about a 25 minute walk to Zilker Park.  The house was a convenient location for walking to the park on an unlit toe path (bikes would've been quicker) or downtown or a very quick Uber ride anywhere. The house sits right on the highway/ off ramp with current construction.  Be ready to be woken up by either the cars, Amtrak or chicken/ducks from the yard.  We stayed for ACL and it was a decent place to sleep for the nights we were there. The house was also a very quick walk to coffee shops and a grocery store with a great beer selection. The house has a key pad to lock/unlock the front door and it felt very safe to stay, as well as convenient for multiple people coming and going from the house."

3398517,16315856,2014-07-25,17260013,Andrei,"Nice neighborhood, fairly close to downtown. You can even walk to a bus station, but try to stick to the schedule (via google directions) because Austin is pretty hot. Danielle was very prompt in answering  all my questions. 
Please note, this apartment is best suited for younger visitors or young professionals, not really a family spot - would be too small and a bit loud for that. "
3398517,16441327,2014-07-27,17529739,Jardan,Small but cozy with a pool 
3398517,16964836,2014-08-04,11675778,Brad,"Danielle provided a great place to stay just outside of Austin.  The studio apartment had everything we needed, a very comfortable bed and a great shower.  

We also had quite the experience when I found out at 2am that I had lost the key to her apartment and had to wake her up to help sort it out.  She handled it really well and we were able to get it sorted out fairly painlessly.

Great host and great place!"
3398517,17727953,2014-08-16,19002065,Kristine,"Danielle was a very kind host. The studio apartment was in a good location and had a great bed/bathroom. Having a TV with Netflix was a nice addition. The bathroom was a little dirty and there was some trash in the kitchen. Also the room stays a little on the warm side, but that might be because it's about a 100 degrees outside. Overall a very trendy and nice place to stay! "
3398517,18436429,2014-08-26,9048235,Alia,"Pros: 
-Lovely space! Way nicer than the pictures! Love the open layout and color scheme. 
-Phenomenal location, near south 1st and SoCo.
-Easy Parking
-The apartment complex's swimming pool is right outside your front door!
-Danielle was a great host, *super* responsive and very nice. And did everything she could to try and accommodate us. 

Cons:
-The A/C is REALLY. LOUD.
- No shampoo or hairdryer. Not a huge deal, but if these are things you'll need, I recommend checking with Danielle before your arrival. To her credit, Danielle tried to find a friend or neighbor who could loan me their hairdryer, which I very much appreciated. 
- There were only a couple of plates and coffee mugs, so if you plan to make serious use of the kitchen, you may want to pick up some disposable stuff. 

Overall, it's a great value for the price and a lovely space. And Danielle is a fantastic host!"
3398517,18612262,2014-08-28,20214830,Sean,House is amazing. Massively exceeded expectations of photos and had everything we need included for a comfortable stay.  Danielle herself was probably more helpful and resourceful as a 5 star hotel concierge letting us know exactly what to do around town. The location was very easy to get to nice restaurants and walking distance into downtown. Highly recommend staying here.
3398517,19235374,2014-09-08,4408374,Nene,Danielle was very accommodating. She responds very quickly. Her place was just as described and I had no issues at all with my stay at her place. The area was close to everything and the neighbors were very nice. Would recommend her place anytime!
3398517,19498264,2014-09-13,17770742,Blair,"Danielle was in frequent communication with me prior to my arrival and provided clear instructions about obtaining the keys and getting into apartment. Location was very convenient for me and my needs. 

There was an issue with being able to get in through the security gate on my second night and I was not able to reach Danielle. I'm guessing the management changed the code as it had worked fine earlier in the day (never found out the reason, but I took this to have been something out of her control). "
3398517,19882965,2014-09-20,15225006,Scarlett,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Danielle's spot for 3 nights and 4 days.  The place was perfect for our stay.  

Pros: Walkable to shops and restaurants in SoCo and a quick Lyft ride Downtown.  She had a record player so we didn't have to wait to listen to our newly purchased vinyl from End of an Ear & Waterloo records.  Netflix came in handy when I needed some downtime, and I enjoyed the waterfall shower. Danielle was in contact within an hour if I had a question, and accommodated our need for an early check-in and late check out. 

Cons: The bathroom was a little dirty. There were neighbors partying outside into the wee hours on a Thursday, but the AC helped drown out the noise.  

I'd recommend this place to a younger crowd that doesn't need any frills and doesn't mind a little noise.  
 

Thank again, Danielle! "

3398517,20742228,2014-10-05,18924962,Deanna,"Overall this was a good experience. I stayed here with my sister and friend for the ACL festival weekend. Check-in and -out were very easy, convenient and flexible. The apartment was just as depicted in the images. The only downside was that the bathroom was a bit dirty. We also had a minor issue with controlling the water temperature for the shower, but once we contacted Danielle she had her neighbor come and fix it for us. Other than that it was a nice, quiet convenient location. The downtown area was a quick bus/taxi ride away. Danielle also has a record player with a nice collection of vinyls that we enjoyed listening to while getting ready to head out. "
3398517,21022748,2014-10-09,9698922,Rob,"Danielle was responsive and made check-in super easy.  Apartment was closer to SoCo than I originally thought.  Nice apartment for a stay over although my son said the futon was not comfortable.  Had a snafu with the shower but hey, if you want everything to be hotel-perfect then stay at a hotel.  "
3398517,21196783,2014-10-13,9522067,Tom,Staying at Danielle's place was a good experience -- the location was great and the place was as advertised. No problems to report.
3398517,21540762,2014-10-19,465445,Diana,I had the wrong address written down and she texted me right away to let me know where to go. Key was waiting for me at the unit. Apt was in an ideal location. We were only there one night so I didn't spend much time in the apartment. Safe area.
3398517,21815780,2014-10-24,16706906,Brian,Great location. Super cute little place. Very easy to find and get in and get settled. Communication was on point.
3398517,21825282,2014-10-25,8689271,Tricia,"Danielle's apartment was perfect!  I was in Austin for just one night and her space was exactly what I needed.  Super cute and in a nice area, I was able to walk to downtown without a problem.  For staying on a Friday night the complex was pretty quiet.  Danielle was a great host and was easily reached when I needed her.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.   "
3398517,21961165,2014-10-27,15476693,Amanda,Danielle was wonderful. Responded immediately when we had questions. Apartment was clean and perfect for what we needed. Would absolutely recommend :)
3398517,22290907,2014-11-03,2199714,Dheeraj,Danielle's place was perfect for the short trip to Austin for the F1 race. Her place is only a few minutes away from downtown Austin and pretty close to the airport. Overall Danielle was extremely responsive and answered any questions i had almost instantly. I'd highly recommend her to future guests
3398517,22421865,2014-11-05,23007714,Andrew,"Danielle - Was awesome. Her place is great. And Austin is awesome... except that is rained while I was there. Danielle's place was perfect for what I was looking for. Easy to get to Downtown Austin, Danielle's place was perfectly situated, but not in a congested area. Her condo is filled with very cool/nice/pretty young professionals that were very accommodating and helpful.  "
3398517,22477473,2014-11-07,23209820,Mridula,Great place to stay close to everything with a car. Apt was clean and very comfortable
3398517,22580004,2014-11-10,17479506,Danielle,This place was wonderful! Beautifully decorated and very clean. Danielle was very attentive and fast to respond when I had a question.  This place was perfect for my weekend getaway. I will definitely being referring friends if they are ever in the area. 
3398517,22829795,2014-11-16,2053102,Julia,"Great location, cute and cozy apartment. Danielle is super friendly and helpful. Recommended!"
3398517,23411541,2014-11-30,2564175,Genevieve,"Clean apartment, quick communication, good stay all around."
3398517,23986473,2014-12-15,5185861,Rebecca Ann,Danielle was quick with communication. Her place was adorable and made us feel right at home. Listening to vinyls was definitely a highlight of the experience. I would definitely recommend her place!
3398517,24068242,2014-12-18,24873435,David,Great apartment and location. Danielle was very helpful and quick to get back to me on my last minute reservation. Definitely recommend it. 
3398517,24155803,2014-12-21,9742685,Ann,My boyfriend and I had a great stay at Danielle's place. She was a great communicator and very prompt in answering our questions. I would stay at her place again! 
3398517,24245150,2014-12-23,3965012,Gina,"Cute room, great central location about 1/4 mile from where I needed to be, plus great food and shopping nearby. Danielle was communicative and quick to respond when I had a few questions. "
3398517,24545562,2014-12-30,24266240,Ruki,"Danielle was very prompt about communicating with me, and the  studio was very conveniently located. The heat/air in the studio was very effective! The listing promised wireless access, which the studio did not have. It took a call to airbnb to get this fixed, but the host did, after that call, address the issue very fairly. The sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. The place is suitable for 2 - one on the bed and one on the futon, but 3 would be a tight fit as the bed is not very big. 

As for constructive input, the odd things that I did not expect to find in a place that was rated so highly were as follows: 
1) no hand soap in the bathroom and no refills to be found
2) no welcome note or other instructions for using the place. Ex. where should I leave dirty towels? 
3) the bathroom sink drain was visibly clogged with hair
4) bath towels had stains on them
5) no fitted sheet or extra bedding for the futon 

Overall, this was a positive experience, and I certainly appreciate the concept of folks renting out their space for others to use. "
3398517,25115941,2015-01-06,23516320,Danny,Danielle's place is warm and comfortable and a short drive or uber ride to all the Austin bars and restaurants. Danielle was always immediately available for any requests we had and her turntable is great after a day of hitting Austin's record stores!
3398517,25317183,2015-01-12,13883380,Camille,"Listing was as described. The place has awesome heating/AC and is close to downtown. Mostly clean except for the bathroom floor and dishes in dishwasher. We could've used more directions for check-in as we were a bit confused where the place was when we arrived in the dark and I had to ask for check-in details. Other than that, I would definitely stay there again! Nicely decorated :)"
3398517,25545755,2015-01-19,7630205,Sarah,"If you're a solo traveler or duo looking for a no-frills place to stay in the heart of Austin, this is a good place to stay. But I wouldn't recommend it for more than two people, as the futon isn't really meant for sleeping. 

Neighbors are a little noisy, but at least the apartment complex has a pool! And the location is perfect -- you're literally 5-10 minutes from dozens of cool bars, restaurants and outdoor activities (Maybe that's why it's priced a little high).

All that said, Danielle is a really sweet girl who is good at communicating with her guests! "
3398517,25717582,2015-01-24,23586879,Christine,Danielle's place was pleasantly cozy. It was clean and was an approximate 10 minute drive from downtown. 
3398517,25815796,2015-01-26,10847701,Dianka,"Danielle was great- super friendly and had a great response time.
Her studio was comfy (looks just like the photos) and in a great location central to everything. "
3398517,26919819,2015-02-22,407245,Stephen,"Danielle was very accommodating, even though we didn't even meet in person! When we couldn't figure out a switch or light, she was very responsive. Her place was clean and comfortable, although best for 2 people (we had three). Great location if you want to hang out on S. Congress or S. 1st.
"
3398517,27602969,2015-03-08,14516129,Justin,Clean and comfortable place. Smelled really good. Great location. Danielle was very helpful and accommodating. Would recommend to anyone.
3398517,27703148,2015-03-09,10584144,Pauline,"We loved staying in Danielle's apartment!
It is very cute, very clean and Danielle clearly takes care of her guests. She was also very responsive and accomodating.
Thumbs up and recommended!"
3398517,27897647,2015-03-14,28715132,Yangyang,"Danielle is such an amazing host. She's super responsive, friendly and fun to talk to. Her place is very clean. The bed is comfortable. I will Stay at her place again next time I come to Austin! Highly recommended!"
3398517,28116072,2015-03-18,21359958,Megan,"My husband and I had a great stay at Danielle's place over a long weekend. We indicated that we were visiting Austin for our anniversary and Danielle went above and beyond as a host by providing us with a bottle of champagne and fresh flowers. The place is exactly as it described, and it felt much more roomy than 400 square feet. The record player was a nice touch and she had a variety of movies and tv shows available for unwinding at night (no cable, which is fine). The location felt very safe and was very walkable to get to Congress, and there were plenty of taco places (Torchy's!) and food stands within walking distance, as well as a handful of coffee shops. We had a great stay and Danielle did everything to ensure that we were comfortable and happy! I would definitely stay here again!"
3398517,28245271,2015-03-21,13487236,Spencer,"Danielle's apartment is very nice and in a great South Austin location, and she was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and well kept, and the price was incredibly reasonable. Only downside was that the bed was a little worn out, but otherwise would recommend."
3398517,28350557,2015-03-22,4019484,Casey,Cute and cozy study studio that served us well for our SXSW weekend.  Great location and clean.  Danielle was very friendly and accommodating.  
3398517,29185094,2015-04-05,24015597,Jacqueline,"The place was mostly described as listed. The location was great and the place was easy to find, clean, and big enough for two on a long weekend. A quick email to Danielle and the check in procedures were easily explained. She was very flexible on check in and check out which was greatly appreciated. Danielle is also very responsive to any questions we had while we were there.

Best thing about this place is the location. Close proximity to everything you want to check out in Austin!

The one negative on this place is the bed is very uncomfortable to sleep in. Mattress needs to be replaced as it felt like it was sinking in whenever we were on it. Both my boyfriend and I woke up sore the three nights we were there."
3398517,29396213,2015-04-07,58191,Julie,"Danielle was great - very accommodating both with check-in/check- out time, and left great instructions & recommendations. The studio itself is cozy and clean, even with 3 people (though her description about the comfort level of sleeping on the futon is right on). The pool right outside is a great perk (we had it to ourselves!), and it's in a GREAT location in South Austin; very walkable to South 1st and Congress streets, and close bus or cab ride to downtown and the airport. Our stay here was easy, affordable, and comfortable; and we'd recommend it to everyone! "
3398517,29827020,2015-04-13,11885772,David,"Great little spot in South Austin! My fiance and I came to Austin for the MotoGP race at COTA. The apt is close to some really great food and drink. It was only about 15 min to the airport and 20 mins to the race track. 

The apt itself is small but very clean and cozy. It's perfect for a traveling couple. Danielle has top notch communication and coming/going was a breeze. We can't wait to stay here for next year's race!"
3398517,30251953,2015-04-19,1696082,Will,Perfect for my needs and Danielle was a great host.  The Shiner she had in the fridge was a godsend!
3398517,30704736,2015-04-26,30478125,Sophia,Danielle was an awesome host.  The check in process was very simple and she always responded very quickly to any questions or comments I had.  We got to know the neighbors and they even helped us out with a couple of questions we had.  The room was very accommodating for 2 people and we loved the record player.
3398517,31146864,2015-05-02,32006151,Joseph,Awesome place! Thank you for the beer! :-) Great host and great communication. Will definitely stay here again in the future if needed. 
3398517,31265623,2015-05-03,32127507,Reynaldo,Great place to stay. Very convenient location made it easy to get around Austin. Thanks Danielle.
3398517,31701143,2015-05-09,27910213,Paula,Danielle's listing is in a great spot but you still need a car to get around easily.  The place was clean and record player was a bonus.  Danielle gave us our space and responded quickly to our questions.  We will definitely stay here again.
3398517,33222772,2015-05-26,17889109,Amanda,Danielle was great and SO helpful during our stay in Austin. Her apartment is perfect for a couple or just two people. It's in an awesome location as well! I loved that there was free parking. 
3398517,41800559,2015-08-09,37573286,Elizabeth,Danielle's apartment was wonderful! I really like the style and feel of the place.
3398517,42802779,2015-08-15,23132408,Kim,Danielle's apartment was wonderful to stay in during our vacation. The location is great and it is only minutes from downtown. The check in/check out process was hassle free and Danielle was always quick to respond to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
104386,275392,2011-05-22,554312,Carlee,"My friends and I were travelling through the US from New Zealand and booked in to stay at Mary’s house. The house was just perfect. It was pristinely clean and so cute. Close to everything and so lovely to come home to after a day (and night) out discovering Austin. 

Mary is so helpful, with nothing seemingly to be a problem. She knows Austin like the back of her hand and is always available for questions or advice. I highly recommend Marys house for any one that wants to discover Austin. Thanks again Mary we loved it...hopefully we will be back for South by South West!!  


  "
104386,289244,2011-05-30,469624,Marcus,"The house was fantastic! It had everything we needed for a weekend away from home. The kitchen had all the necessities, the bath had towels and soaps as well as outdoor towels, the bedding was very comfortable and there was ample seating space in the living room. Great place and we definitely will stay there again if we need a weekend away in Austin."
104386,324899,2011-06-20,675513,Robyn,"Mary's yellow cottage was the perfect stay for our relaxing girls getaway weekend in Austin! It was cute, clean, and cozy! She even had coffee and bagels for us for in the morning. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for anyone who wants a great location and place to stay in Austin!"
104386,338869,2011-06-27,723718,Megan,"Amazing little cottage. Absolutely perfect for our group of four. Simple directions, excellent location, adorable house with such nice amenities, I ecspecially appreciated the Keurig Coffee Maker and Brita filtered water as well as the water bottles Mary so thoughtfully had out for us. The backyard patio was super cute and perfect for a hot summer night! I will defnitely be looking into this same rental unit if I ever find myself in need of one in Austin again!"
104386,357303,2011-07-06,723923,Shann,"We just loved Mary's cottage. It was cute, cozy and extremely clean.  She even left us bagels and juice for breakfast! We will definitely stay there again."
104386,387802,2011-07-21,741017,Sally,"The Cottage was just perfect for our family.  It was located in the hub of Austin, had all the amenities plus more, and was as cute as can be!  Mary was very welcoming and assured us we could call her if we needed anything.  

Thanks, Mary, for providing such a perfect home for us!"
104386,461723,2011-08-20,580838,Monica,"My husband, baby and myself came to Austin for a 5 month temporary relocation. As a mother, I can only tell you that our decision to stay at Mary's place was the best, and not only because the home is pristine, and it looks exactly as the pictures, but also because of her owner, Mary. Her thoughtfulness, her small details around the house, and her interest about our well being were there all the time. She even left cookies for our little son, which he devoured together with my husband. I could not have felt more at home in her little cottage. I highly appreciate her helping us adjusting to our new, temporary life. Thanks so much. I hope to see her soon.  "
104386,506740,2011-09-06,473333,Steve,What a perfect place! Immaculate and was everything we needed for a great weekend! Mary was excellent at communicating everything and we had zero issues. We loved all the little extras she provided as well. I would recommend it to everyone!
104386,532093,2011-09-14,1107646,Kelly,"Loved staying here.  Really cute and comfortable cottage in a convenient location (at least, if you have a car--it sounded like there were bus stations nearby, and there were a few restaurants you could walk to, but in general it seemed more ideal if you could drive).  

Mary was communicative and extremely easy to get ahold of, and her place was lovely!  She thoughtfully left us some juice and English muffins and a list of her favorite places nearby.  We ate at one, Habanero's, for breakfast tacos, and it was fantastic.  And just a five-minute walk from the cottage!

We especially enjoyed sitting on the patio in the backyard at night under the lights.  Would definitely stay here again if I were ever to return to Austin, and would highly recommend to others as well!"
104386,549611,2011-09-20,308151,Beth,"I came with 2 friends to Mary's lovely house for the ACL music festival. The house was spotless when we arrived. It has a great clean and modern, yet comfortable aesthetic. Mary provided so many nice details like snacks in the fridge, extra toothbrushes, a great list of places to check out in the area, a custom map showing us the route from the house to the festival...She was  really helpful with our planning for our stay before we arrived and very generous about check in and out times.  
Mary was also incredibly easy going and nice when we locked ourselves out of the house- she got back to us immediately and got us back in (it was our mistake).  The house is on a quiet street, but really close to some fun places... we got around by bikes our whole stay- Austin is a great biking town.
I really can't say enough about how lovely our stay was, and how great and perfect the house was and what a kind considerate airbnb host Mary is. "
104386,570308,2011-09-26,1120704,Stephanie,"The little yellow cottage is awesome! It is adorable, spotless and very comfortable. Wi-fi is provided and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. Mary thinks of everything - and provides delicious coffee!

I liked the location too - about twelve blocks from all the fun things on South Congress, but definitely walkable if its not too hot =)

All in all, a terrific option while in Austin!"
104386,596543,2011-10-04,883995,Alana,"We are a family of 4 originally from Austin.  We were headed to town to attend a family wedding.  We decided to take a break from a hotel set up and experience a rental instead.  This was the best decision we made setting up our trip!

This cottage is centrally located and can easily get you to the major and minor thoroughfares in Austin.  It is situated in the best part of town - south central, Austin.  The house is as represented in the pictures.

Mary is the best hostess you could ask for.  We were welcomed with a fridge stocked with breakfast juice, muffins and soft drinks for the boys.  The house was impeccable - very clean with everything you would need to enjoy a comfortable stay.

The beds were the most comfortable I have ever used, with wonderful bed linens and blankets;  Mary has decorated the place to feel very warm and welcoming.  Having a nice flat screen t.v. with blu ray player and DVDs to choose from was very convenient on a few occasions.  

Our family had a great time and we all agreed this will be the place to come back to stay when we visit family in the future.  I would recommend Mary's place with the highest level of confidence."
104386,618613,2011-10-11,1020610,Malissa,"We had a wonderful stay!  Mary was incredibly thoughtful and the yellow cottage was squeaky clean, charming, had everything we could possibly need, and was conveniently located.  The code on the door was helpful as there were two couples staying in the house and we didn't have to worry about sharing keys. The yard is enormous, so there was lots of privacy and it was quiet.  Loved it!  We'll definitely see if it's available the next time we head to Austin!  This was my first time using airbnb and it was a perfect solution - great location and way cheaper than a boring hotel!"
104386,629965,2011-10-16,798176,George,"This was the perfect base for exploring the great city of Austin and my friends and I are most grateful to Mary both for keeping a lovely house and for being so quick and helpful in responding to any questions we had. Mary had generously stocked the house with everything we needed (food and drink, towels, toiletries etc.) and the file she had produced on her favourite local places was a useful treat. Many thanks!"
104386,655120,2011-10-23,1187469,Simon,"This is a great house. I would definitely rent it again. To me, it's in the perfect location—South Austin is right outside your door, and you're not far from everything else. The house is very nicely styled and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen has everything you would need, and the host had it generously stocked with coffees, teas, and breakfast items. The host was also very friendly and easy to reach. Highly recommended!!!!"
104386,663484,2011-10-25,1222644,J. Bradley,"Great house, everything really well done!  Really well decorated.  Will stay here again for sure."
104386,686165,2011-11-02,1108426,Alison,"Mary is a great host with a fabulous property. The cottage was spotless when I arrived, and everything was in great shape. There were also a lot of nice, small touches throughout: tons of towels, a few things for breakfast, basic kitchen cookware, and a selection of DVDs. There's a private outdoor space and the back and front yards are fenced in, and you're close to all kinds of great shops and restaurants, but still have the feel of a small neighborhood. I stayed there with four adults and one 7-month-old, and it was the perfect size for us. We really enjoyed staying there and it will be at the top of my list the next time i'm in Austin. If you are thinking of renting this cottage -- do it!"
104386,724518,2011-11-16,1333719,Natalie,Charming house in a great location. Mary was wonderful and easy to connect with. Can't wait to book again. 
104386,809566,2011-12-28,1251437,Louise,"This house is great.  Immaculate, attractively furnished, and in a good location.  The backyard is large and pleasant.  I had my toddler granddaughter here with me for several days and it was perfect for her too.  I heartily recommend it."
104386,859365,2012-01-13,1321189,Nora,"This home was perfect for the three of us in terms of location, size and presentation. It was super clean, had all the amenities needed plus some extra details, such as OJ, muffins, sodas in the fridge. The home is very well appointed with thick towels, very comfortable beds and furniture. We had a wonderful time and felt like a little bit of home. Thank you Mary!"
104386,887155,2012-01-28,1322065,Amanda,"Our stay was lovely in this clean, quiet house.  I have absolutely no complaints.  The beds were comfortable, the wifi strong, the towels fluffy, and the kitchen was equipped (including coffee, tea, cream, and some brekfast foods).  it even comes loaded with such classic dvd's as the princess bride and the notebook.  There isgood food and coffee within walking distance and easy bus access to downtown and UT.  Thank you Mary!"
104386,998569,2012-03-14,1191899,Zach,The house was great. Very well kept and convenient to many things. I'd definitely stay here again.
104386,1024227,2012-03-20,191888,Josie,"Mary's South Austin Cottage was so perfect for our stay in Austin. The home is cozy, tastefully decorated, clean-like-spotless, and so inviting. Mary had the fridge stocked with some breakfast items and perhaps because we were coming in for SXSW, there was even a six-pack of beers to welcome us! The location is very convenient. We plan to make this our cottage (if it's available!) every time we revisit Austin."
104386,1114818,2012-04-12,1891448,Emily,"We had a wonderful stay at Mary's little yellow cottage. The house was absolutely spotless, to the point where it felt like we were the first to ever stay there. Mary left an abundance of fluffy white towels as well as beach towels to use outside or for a trip to Barton Springs. She even stocked the fridge with some breakfast items and the Keurig coffee maker was stocked with lots of coffee pods. The beds were super-comfy, and so was the couch! (My aunt joined us last minute and was perfectly comfortable sleeping there.) The location was great, just a few blocks walk to SoCo, and we even walked downtown (about 2 miles). There are quiet residential streets to walk on if you don't want to walk on the busy roads. The house is a block or so from a busy street, so there's some traffic noise, but it's not bad. Our favorite part of this cute little house was the shaded patio outside the kitchen. Cool and breezy during the hot days, festive at night under the colorful Christmas lights lining the roof. Just a wonderful experience all around. If I'm ever back in Austin, I'll be giving Mary a ring."
104386,1133480,2012-04-15,2014147,Karl,"My new home away from home in Austin is this cottage home. We were so comfortable having a living room, kitchen, and outdoor patio to expand our living space. The entire house is ultra clean and stocked with all the comforts, including basic food and drink necessities in the refrigerator. We've met Mary and she is a great person, and she responded very quickly to our questions, even giving us many excellent restaurant recommendations. So you're looking for a place to stay and wonder if this is the right one for you? Only you can answer that, but this home exceeded our expectations. Great location for going anywhere, especially SoCo."
104386,1176163,2012-04-24,1938666,Maggie,"The house was just perfect for our long weekend get away. So clean, great location, huge backyard and so well appointed for guests. Thank you Mary! We loved staying there. "
104386,1226062,2012-05-04,1333719,Natalie,We had a wonderful stay once again!
104386,1270530,2012-05-13,619433,Ben,"The cottage was great, and Mary was a fantastic host.  I was visiting for a conference at the convention centre, and the place is walkable if you don't mind stretching the legs, or there's a bus if you do :)  It was so much nicer to come home to a little cottage than a sterile hotel room.

Highly recommended."
104386,1335307,2012-05-23,2125908,Ana,"I rented this house for my family's visit to Austin for my graduation. They were excited about the prospect of staying all together instead of in separate hotel rooms. Their experience was perfect. The house was charming and cute, it had everything they could need and the patio was great to unwind and see my niece run around. Mary was an awesome host! I truly recommend this cottage and will be sure to bring friends and family here for next visits."
104386,1383052,2012-05-30,2189079,John,Wonderful cottage in south Austin. Accessible to all Austin has to offer. this was my first time using airbnb and just had a great experience. 
104386,1592575,2012-06-30,1537587,Rebecca,"Mary's place is fantastic.  It is equipped with everything you could possibly want.  There were great little touches like muffins, coffee and milk in the fridge when we arrived.  The place was spotless, and the great central air conditioning kept us cool in the Austin summer. It's more than big enough for 4 adults to comfortably stay.  

The cottage is in a great location, not far from Barton Springs and with great bars and restaurants near by.

Mary is a very kind and responsive host and obviously takes great care in her property.  I would recommend this place to anyone and would return if I am ever in Austin again."
104386,2201485,2012-09-04,362065,Jen,"This is a great location, clean and well supplied house, and the keypad lock on the front door is a great feature."
104386,2627850,2012-10-16,2549574,Michael,"Lovely little 2 bedroom cottage with soft towels, comfortable beds and furniture.  It was easy to find and easy to get downtown or to Zilker park.  Around the corner on 1st street there are numerous gourmet food trucks for the adventurous. 

Mary left instructions on the wifi and some general information which was very helpful along with a nice welcome letter.

This was my first time using Airbnb so I was a bit pensive but Mary was easy to work with and the system worked great."
104386,2768229,2012-10-31,2527081,Gail,This is a perfect place to stay in Austin.  The cottage is comfy and cozy.  Everything we needed was supplied.  Especially enjoyed the patio and large fenced yard.  Easy walk to grocery store and restaurants.  We love walking and this was a walkable distance to S. Congress and downtown area.   
104386,2808561,2012-11-05,1371020,Tolithia,This cottage is perfectly appointed and very well located. The beds are SUPER comfortable. It was one of the best -- and definitely the cleanest -- rentals I've ever been in!
104386,2874460,2012-11-13,3310214,Andrea,"We LOVED this house! The house was immaculate, Mary was very easy to reach, and the location was perfect. This house is perfect for a family of four."
104386,2925543,2012-11-20,766681,Shanna,"Let me start my saying how amazing Mary is to deal with, she was so flexible and helpful with booking her lovely cottage. This cottage is immaculate, I am a clean freak and this place went way above my expectations. The house looked freshly painted, the grounds around the home are wonderful. Mary has thought of everything, she has tons of extra towels and wash cloths, she has products there in case you forgot something. The beds were comfy, the living area is very nice and the kitchen has everything you could need. The local is just perfect, you are close to everything here. I honestly can not say enough great things about the South Austin Cottage, we did not have one issue with anything. We will be staying here again. You will love staying here!"
104386,3187497,2012-12-30,943148,Cheryl,"My family (husband, teenage son and daughter) spent 4 nights at Mary's cottage and had a fantastic time. Mary is a wonderful host and extremely helpful. We had a small issue with the lock and Mary took care of it immediately. The house is immaculately clean with wonderful soft towels and very comfortable beds. She even left us some snacks which were much appreciated since we arrived on Christmas day and not much was open. It was a perfect place for the four of us to stay in Austin. The location of the house is perfect - walking distance to South Congress and easy access to many wonderful restaurants. "
104386,3803886,2013-03-17,1760455,Jonas,"We had a very good stay in Mary's Cottage. The house is great and it's located in a very friendly part of of Austin. But all this said, the best part could probably be the beds! They are simply amazing! It's maybe the best bed I've ever slept in.

And Mary takes good care of you. When we arrived the fridge was filled with water, soft drinks and a first breakfast. On the kitchen table there was a variety of snacks. Needless to say, upon arrival that's the kind of experience you want. No stress to go out and shop for the first breakfast etc.

Thank you Mary! We'll be back! :-)"
104386,4077347,2013-04-08,2687481,Dane,"Loved this place!  Great little cottage in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to S. Congress, S. 1st and Lamar St. neighborhoods.  Great food within walking distance.  Mary was a great host - she stocked the fridge with light breakfast items, provided coffee and tea, and otherwise made our stay comfortable and convenient.  Places like this are why AirBnB is great."
104386,4304330,2013-04-26,128189,Teri,"Mary's little yellow cottage was an ideal spot to start our vacation. My wife, her mum, and I landed in Austin late in the evening but when the taxi delivered us to Mary's place, we instantly felt at home in her clean!, tidy house. The beds were comfortable, linens fresh and high quality, and the kitchen had everything Teri needed to cook up a Texas storm. We were hungry when we arrived and didn't realize the 24-hour HEB grocery was so close so we scooted across the street and met the excellent Javier at El Tacorrido. He and his coworker - we didn't catch her name - fixed us up with tasty Mexican food and Texan hospitality. They stayed open a few minutes later just to serve us, their last customers of the day. We had a great night's sleep and awoke the next morning, eager to investigate Austin. As we'd decided to pick up a car when leaving we were thrilled with the terrific bus service available 100 feet from Mary's door. We bought $2 all-day ride passes, an excellent value, and spent our time in Austin checking out the Capitol, the Blanton Museum, the O. Henry House, the funky shops and booteries on South Congress, Whole Foods' flagship store, the quirky G'raj Mahal (delicious Indian food), and the Austin City Limits Theater to see the Gipsy Kings. On our last morning in Austin, Teri and I walked downtown in less than an hour to the Hertz location on E. 10th and were very happy to meet Tim, who fixed us up with a nice rental car at a great rate. The people we met during our time in Austin were friendly and helpful to a person, no matter how casual our encounter. Austin is a wonderful town full of interesting, welcoming folks such as Mary, our Airbnb hostess. Mary was quick and clear in all our communication and renting her place got our vacation off on the right foot. I can't say enough good things. Thanks very much, Mary! We look forward to staying with you again some time.

Stu & Teri and Pat"
104386,4433403,2013-05-05,2110835,Todd,"""It is nicer than the pictures,"" was the first thing my wife said when we walked in.

The home is in a great location, on a quiet street, but an easy walk to everything. Also, bus lines nearby, so you can either take a quick bus (no transfers) to get downtown, or even walk. While we were here, we walked to South Congress, Barton Springs, etc. Very pleasant. Also, a cab to or from downtown is only $11 from this home, so a very good option should you want to get home quicker than a bus can get you.

Mary was an excellent host. We arrived very late, and she took a phone call from us, as we couldn't figure out the digital keypad for the lock (user error on our part).

The home is very cozy, and we looked forward to coming home every night to a cool home, nice bed, great shower, and drinks on the patio.

There is a grocery store within 4-5 blocks to get food if you need to cook, as well as pots, pans and other utensils if you don't want to eat every meal out. There is also a mini mart nearby for wine, beer and snack runs late night.

However, with Lucy's Fried Chicken, Torchy's Tacos, and other great food within a 5 minute walk, we didn't feel the need to cook.

I don't understand why anyone would want to stay in a hotel in Austin with homes like this available.

Stay here, get a bus pass, and you will have an amazing Austin experience. We sure did."
104386,4991793,2013-06-06,4577965,Courtney,"My husband and our two boys (6 and 10) stayed in Mary's yellow cottage for three weeks while visiting Austin.  The house was immaculate and cozy. It's centrally located in a great South Austin neighborhood.  Mary had kindly written up a nice guide book that points out some good local places to pick up coffee or get a bite to eat which we found helpful.
Mary was easy-going and responsive with excellent communication.  When we arrived the house was stocked with breakfast foods, a few snacks, bottles of water and coffee.  It was really nice not to have to run right to the grocery store!  The keypad system worked really well.  One of our boys inadvertently locked us out once as we were leaving  and I simply emailed Mary and she had it unlocked lickety-split- before we even returned.  
I highly recommend this place for your stay in Austin! "
104386,7566241,2013-09-24,8795258,Nicholas,"Mary's place was FANTASTIC! So close to the best Mexican restaurants (try Polvos - you won't be disappointed and it's a 5 minute walk away). 

The house was clean, spacious and bright. Would stay there again without hesitation :)"
104386,8578258,2013-11-05,1887874,Kristen,"We had a wonderful stay at Mary's adorable South Austin cottage. I stayed there for a long weekend with my parents and my four-year-old daughter and it was just perfect for us. The location can't be beat for those interested in being near downtown, Zilker Park, South Congress, Town Lake... the list of nearby hot spots is endless. The beds are comfy. Mary had stocked the refrigerator with breakfast basics, which was unexpected and so very kind. And she has a bunch of great DVDs to choose from if you need a night in. :) We would not hesitate to stay there again and would certainly recommend it to anyone else visiting Austin!"
104386,8695100,2013-11-12,9447182,Layla,"AMAZING!! We booked Mary's cottage based on the rave reviews of previous guests and it really didn't disappoint. Incredibly easy to locate, great parking facilities and very easy access to the cottage with the door code. Welcomed by the local cat Jackson, we quickly felt at home and at ease. The cottage was clean, bright and had great decor and everything you could possibly need from towels, to milk to insect bite cream. We walked everywhere, from the local recommendations from Mary (which were better than any of the guide books we had), all the way into town and back. Walking was a fun discovery but local buses and taxis were very accessible too. The local supermarket was great, all amenities you could possibly need within walking distance. The Boudin cafe for a vegetarian breakfast and awesome coffee, and Freddies for lunch were particular highlights. Mary was easy and quick in terms of communication and we thoroughly enjoyed staying in the cottage. Austin is awesome, made even more so by Mary's hospitality. "
104386,8812989,2013-11-19,766681,Shanna,"Mary is so wonderful, she has though of everything that you could need at this wonderful cottage in Austin. This was our second stay here and just like the first trip, it was great! The place is so clean and very well maintained. Mary is very fast to respond to any emails or text. This cottage is in a perfect location, close to everything, but not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin. We will be back to stay here again on our next Austin trip. This place is just awesome, you will love your stay here.
"
104386,8943721,2013-11-27,8112055,Christine,"This was my first time to Austin and my first Airbnb experience and I have to say Mary has set the bar Very High!. This was a very special birthday trip for my mother and sister and me. We all flew in from around the country to be together to celebrate. I researched many places before deciding on this one. And I could not have been more pleased. Dealing with Mary was a pleasure, she answered all questions promptly and was super helpful with my touristy ones. We just loved the cottage and the added hospitality. (There were drinks and snacks in the refrigerator- so appreciated by weary travelers! ). It's location proved to be perfect as we explored the city. We could walk to shops and restaurants and then it was a super easy taxi ride to other parts of the city.  We also enjoyed meals in and found the kitchen stocked with everything we needed.  If you are looking for a comfortable, inviting setting, then this little home away from home is the place for you! We hope to go back! "
104386,9139872,2013-12-09,4679957,Nishan,We had a wonderful time while in Austin. Mary's cottage was the perfect spot for my family and I...great location and a beautiful home. Very well maintained. We'll be back!
104386,9459215,2013-12-30,2527081,Gail,"This was my second stay in Mary's cottage.  The cottage was as well cared for as I remembered from a year ago.  Walking distance to many sites and restaurants.  And at the end of the day we could return to our comfortable, quiet cottage.  "
104386,10401882,2014-02-17,11919946,Jessica,"mary's yellow cottage was outstanding!  

the place was clean and cozy and everything was just as it appears in the photos.  there were also plenty of thoughtful little extras waiting for us: coffee, cream, and english muffins in the kitchen, an austin chronicle and local restaurant suggestions on the coffee table, shampoo/conditioner in the shower.  

the cottage was easy to find and in a good location -- about 2 miles south of downtown, totally walkable/bikeable to the south 1st food trucks and the south congress area, and there's a bus line just one block away that took us downtown in minutes.  

mary was friendly, helpful, and easy to get in touch with.  she made our first airbnb experience (and our first time in austin!) so seamless and enjoyable.  

i'd recommend the cottage to anyone and would definitely stay there again!"
104386,11536466,2014-04-07,6867908,Majalisa,"We really enjoyed our stay in Mary's cottage. She was very helpful and had great recommendations, house was comfortable and very clean. We loved having the kitchen stocked with thoughtful things. "
104386,11795229,2014-04-15,12166133,Kieran,"Mary's South Austin Cottage is one of the most lovely places we have ever stayed. Myself and three others (girlfriend, brother and childhood friend) were in town for 4 nights for a wedding. This was the perfect place for us to stay. 
My girlfriend and I took the room with the double bed and my brother and friend took the two single beds. The kitchen was large enough to cook meals and well stocked. The patio was quiet and cheerfully lit for us to enjoy dinner under that Texas sky. 
I highly recommend this if you are in Austin. You will not be disappointed. "
104386,12184681,2014-04-25,1450279,Aliza,"This cottage was a truly excellent place to stay in Austin. Mary was a lovely host, she was sure stock the apt with anything we needed and completely available and communicative if we needed anything during our stay. 

The cottage itself is charming and a great size to stay for short or long stays. We were there for a week and able completely settle in, felt like home. 

It was also perfect (email hidden)e neighborhood was friendly-feeling and completely safe for early morning runs and late nights walks home. There are a lot of wonderful spots - food, bars, music, shopping - within walking distance, including the very cool and fun area of South Congress. And anywhere else you want to go in Austin is likely only a 10-12 minutes drive away or less. 

Very highly recommend staying here for any length of time you may be visiting Austin. 
"
104386,12337976,2014-04-29,2923082,Jesse,"Four of us rented Mary's cottage for a recent long weekend.  It was a perfect stay.  The yellow cottage is on a nice small block and has tons of character.  It was ideal for two couples (one couple had to sleep on twin beds, but that was fine).  Staying in the South 1st neighborhood was ideal for us.  We quickly found a great coffee place (Once Over) a dive bar (G&S Lounge) and several delicious taco spots (Torchy's and Tacorrido among them).  Easy drive or bike ride to downtown.  
Mary was extremely responsive and easy to deal with.   Fresh towels and sheets and she even stocked the fridge with some drinks and (much appreciated) shortbread cookies.  We all fell in love with Austin on our trip and would certainly rent this cottage again."
104386,12690709,2014-05-08,13435272,André,"Mary's cottage is really nice, very comfortable, in a quiet neighbourhood and close to all the basic services. It is also quite close to the city centre (5 minute bus ride).
Mary left a lot of welcome goodies for us and was always very helpful and very easy to talk to."
104386,13406021,2014-05-27,164438,Ashley,"We enjoyed our stay in Austin at Mary's cottage. The house was adorable - as pictured.This was the perfect home base to explore the city. The bus was super accessible (and ran on schedule from our experience) and there was an off-street parking spot. Mary was such a great host - she checked in with us a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed, left us recommendations and the latest issue of the Austin Chronicle on the coffee table, and provided drinks and snacks. I would love to stay here again! "
104386,16618011,2014-07-30,3113620,Lindsey,"Great location, bus stop about a block away. Cute little house with very comfy beds. "

104386,17839034,2014-08-18,17309874,Carly,We felt at home in Mary's South Austin Cottage. Mary's detailed emails prior to our arrival put us at ease and helped us plan our time there. We were also pleasantly surprised by the staples in the fridge and delicious cookies on the table! A nice touch!
104386,19895906,2014-09-20,8157740,Elizabeth,"Overall I would very much recommend this house. The area is terrific (SOCO has a nice vibe and you have restaurants nearby). 

The house is immaculately clean and you feel very comfortable. I love that the linens are all white and the bed covers are light, giving you a sense of cleanliness. Terrific choice!

Mary's emails prior to our arrival were super helpful and helped us arrive at ease. She left us cookies, water and other goodies which was a great surprise and treat! "
104386,20468867,2014-09-29,1887189,Nick,"While we never got to meet Mary during our time in Austin, she was a fantastic host and super accommodating. The electronic lock was super convenient and worked for our late night arrival from the airport. Mary wanted to know when we landed and checked in even late at night. She was super responsive to the Airbnb messaging system, text, and emails. 

The cottage itself was amazing! It has two rooms, one with a large bad and the other with two twin beds. The back yard was great with a patio area for kicking back to play dominoes and enjoy a cocktail and large open grassy area for other activities. We wished we had more time to take advantage of the yard.

If TV is important to you, Mary's TV has a digital antenna so signal can be a little spotty. We only really turned on the TV on Sunday when we were packing and wanted to watch a little football. This is not a knock at all, just something to keep in mind. It's Austin, people, go explore and be weird!

Thank you for hosting us Mary! If we are ever back in Austin we will definitely consider your cottage again!"
104386,21276802,2014-10-14,16331788,April,"Mary was amazing - we would absolutely stay in the ""little yellow cottage"" again! I visited with 2 other girlfriends for ACL Fest. Mary was flexible with our arrival time, and had a binder full of helpful information out for us. She had also left us some snacks and drinks, which was so sweet and came in quite handy during our stay! The location was great and safe, and Mary was available if we needed her. She was quite thoughtful and hospitable. I definitely recommend! The place was great and Mary was fantastic from beginning to end."

-Mary was accessible and responsive when I missed the wifi password, which she had already left out for us but I didn't notice at first "
104386,22025624,2014-10-28,2553722,Phoebe,"Mary was very welcoming, accommodating and very responsive. The cottage was super cute, clean, quiet and well taken care of. The place is walking distance to some great restaurants and cafes that feel off the beaten track, which was great. The cottage is also very close to the South Congress area if you are looking for more bustling and happening places. It's also close (maybe 10 min drive) to Barton Springs. I would recommend this place!"
104386,22650109,2014-11-11,21567028,Paul,"The Little Yellow Cottage was perfect. Great location with easy access to downtown & the airport. The house was clean with all the necessities covered, from towels & shampoo, to kitchen ware & a wine bottle opener!

104386,27660325,2015-03-09,11308473,Kim,"We had a lovely stay in this little Austin house. It's off on a quiet street, but still walkable to neat food trucks, coffee shops, and stores. The house was perfect for four of us: impeccably clean, some lone star beers left for us in the fridge, plus it had a surprisingly large backyard. Mary was extremely helpful with everything including leaving us some recommendations for Austin and providing complete privacy during our stay."
104386,28158754,2015-03-19,24255925,Sophie,"La petite maison jaune de Mary est un petit coin de paradis. C’est très propre, fonctionnel et bien décoré. Les lits sont confortables et les draps sentent bon. La maison est plus belle et plus grande que sur les photos. La cour arrière est vraiment très agréable. Tout est pensé pour que le visiteur se sente chez lui. Il y avait même des fruits, du café, du jus et des muffins à notre arrivée! C’est un peu loin du centre-ville à pied (45 min), mais il y a un a bus à quelques pas de la maison qui s’y rend en 10 minutes. C’est un quartier calme, sécuritaire et vraiment très agréable. J’y retournerai ! Merci Mary, tout était parfait!"

Mary had even left some snacks and breakfast stuff for us which made the next morning much easier after all the travel. She did a good job of covering everything we needed to know prior to our arrival, and was quick to answer any questions we had during our stay.  It was really nice having all of her local recommendations as well, as we referenced this list quite a bit during our visit. Loved the location, close to South Congress and walking distance to some great food trucks and cute little coffee places on 1st Street. The cottage was also super cozy and the beds were very comfortable. "

I would definitely stay here again."

104386,43102157,2015-08-17,326077,Rachel,"I highly recommend Mary's South Austin cottage. The cottage was simple, clean, well equipped, organized, and nicely decorated. I liked that we had everything we needed but there wasn't any unnecessary clutter. The beds were comfy, the kitchen was well stocked, and the backyard was sizable with an outside eating area. It was 100 degrees while we were there, but the a/c worked great and kept us cool.

I lived in Austin for 12 years and continue to travel their regularly. The cottage location is great...walking distance to shops & restaurants on South 1st and South Congress. I recommend Bouldin Creek Cafe for breakfast and End of an Ear for music.

My husband and I were traveling with a 10 month old, and it was perfect for him. Mary had covers on outlets and info for where to rent baby items like strollers.

Mary was super communicative and gave us lots of recommendations for places to go and to eat at. I look forward to staying there again soon!"
104386,44303008,2015-08-25,24544526,Theresa,"We had a perfect stay at Mary's cottage. The home was spotlessly clean and Mary was very thoughtful and left us breakfast food so we didn't have to rush to the store on our first morning there. The space was perfect for 4 people, although we spent most of our time on the great patio! Location was very convenient for getting around, we could walk to South Congress or take an Uber for about $6-8 (worth it in the heat)! The neighborhood felt very safe and it was nice and quiet.  

I would highly recommend this cottage, we will definitely hope to stay there again on our next trip!"
104386,46895757,2015-09-14,26079546,Ryan,"3 of us stayed at the South Austin Cottage over a weekend in September and we enjoyed the property and our time in the city.  The cottage is in a great location with quick access to so much of what downtown Austin has to offer.  It is a very inviting and comfortable place to stay.  It was well-furnished and nicely renovated, and very clean.

Mary was easy to communicate with and she gave us all of the information we needed without us needing to ask for anything.  I would definitely recommend this property!"

Also, Mary is very communicative and nice."

Absolutely every last detail of the accommodations were carefully considered. The bedding and linens were fabulous as were all of the kitchen amenities.  Mary's cottage was a near perfect home away from home. Thanks! I'll be back soon, I hope :)"
2380283,10925197,2014-03-13,12300265,Nicole,"I cannot say enough great things about our stay at this beautiful home! We were so impressed with how gorgeous the house was both inside and out. The pictures simply don't do it justice and it was a home-away-from-home for myself and my two colleagues. The cherry on top was the welcome snacks and refreshment - so kind and what an incredible delight after a long day of traveling. 
Working with the home owners was so easy and they went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and even give us helpful tips on how to navigate Austin during such a busy time as SxSW can be for out of town guests. 
We would highly recommend you consider staying here if you're looking for a quiet place to stay that's a stones throw from the hustle of downtown Austin. It's perfect for families, a small group of friends or corporate housing - which is why we were in town. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else the next time I'm in Austin and can't say enough positive things about our stay and our hosts. The golden standard for southern hospitality. Thank you again! ~Nicole M."
8437392,50366170,2015-10-11,39188284,Morgan,"Erika went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome. Very accommodating with check-in/check-out times, and providing everything we needed for our stay. We stayed for the weekend of ACL, and the location was great. Walking distance to many places, or a short Uber ride. The stay exceeded all of our expectations, and are very grateful for everything Erika did to make us feel welcome! I would definitely recommend if looking for a place in Austin. "
8437392,51994677,2015-10-25,46723342,Andrew,This condo off SOCO was outstanding!  The host was very friendly and amenable to our needs for a quick weekend trip to Austin.
1724256,10936382,2014-03-14,8083478,Nancy,"We loved being in James' home.  It is clean, outfitting with everything one could think of, is proximate and walking distance to everything we wanted to see and to access, it is comfortable and the neighborhood is idyllic.

As a 'landlord' James was accessible and a warm and easy going communicator.  He referred several freelance staffers our way and they were phenomenal.  I can't recommend James' house enough-and next time we are in Austin, his is the first outreach we will make.

A+++++

1724256,13091531,2014-05-19,236748,Michele,"Thank you so much James for a wonderful stay. Your home was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The central location was perfect and allowed us to get everywhere without a car. Would recommend your home to others. Thanks again!
Michele "
1724256,20810641,2014-10-06,5468467,MIchelle,"My friends and I stayed at James' place for the ACL festival. The house was a short walk to the grounds and absolutely perfect for our needs. He was a great host, his house is gorgeous, clean and sunny. Highly recommended! We would definitely stay at James' place again in the future. If you are planning a trip to Austin, this is definitely the place for you. "
1724256,21151097,2014-10-12,5936515,Patricia,"James´ place was perfect, super comfortable, beautiful and clean. The location was really good, very close to Zilker Park in a quiet and charming neighborhood. We stayed there for the ACL festival which is a short walk from the house. I highly recommend James´ place, we felt at home, and he was a great host! Thank you again!"
1724256,22229552,2014-11-02,2208884,Roland,This place was amazing and contained everything you would need for a short weekend break in Austin.  Only a 10 minute walk to downtown - so we did not even need to get a taxi to get round.  Location is excellent and communication from the host was prompt and accurate.  I would stay here again when in Austin (which is an amazing city!)
1724256,22620206,2014-11-10,3392508,Eric,"Great spot. Lovely yard, home is very well kept, easily walkable to Auditorium Shores and Zilker park. "

971370,10823804,2014-03-09,5463428,Betty,"Karen was a total sweetheart! She kindly offered to pick me up from the airport and I really appreciated that. She made my first visit to Austin an amazing one. She was very nice, I felt comfortable and she went over and beyond during my stay. I felt like I was at home with a good friend. The room was great, very clean and she made me feel right at home. I would recommend anyone visiting Austin to consider staying at Karens place. I will definitely be going back to Austin again next year and will definitely be contacting her again. She made my first experience with AirBnb an amazing one that I am recommending it to everyone I know. Karen Rocks!"
971370,10894383,2014-03-11,9918093,Kris,"Karen was a very gracious hostess and really went the extra mile to make me feel welcome and comfortable -- she even had chocolate and water in the room, and a snack basket in the kitchen. The home is very clean, and the private room and bathroom are slightly set off so that you have a mini-wing to yourself. She also has a cute yard if you want to sit outside and have a quiet moment. The neighborhood is safe, and for transport, there's a bus stop just 3 blocks from her home that takes you straight downtown, or otherwise there's room for a rental car in the driveway. I enthusiastically recommend a stay there!"
971370,11056597,2014-03-18,12229829,Alex,"Fantastic. This was our first time using AirBnB and I really hope all future experiences are like this.  The house is really nice and is walking distance to restaurants, cafes and a bus stop to get downtown easily.  Karen's a great host who made us feel so welcome.  "
971370,12437730,2014-05-02,13234029,Felix,Could NOT have been better. Karen is super welcoming and the place is great. 5 out of 5!
971370,29694399,2015-04-11,1196068,Tyler,"Five stars out of five. Karen is an awesome host, totally lived up to and surpassed any expectations. The room and house are beautiful, comfortable and clean. The location is safe and well located–in a neighborhood lined with giant oak trees–just a bus ride away from downtown. Karen is an active person, if you want to test your endurance, ask to join her for a run, if you think you can keep up! She made me feel quite welcome and comfy, great wi-fi and I would definitely recommend staying there for anyone interested."

971370,46070573,2015-09-07,42953872,Jessica,"My 1st airnb experience and was so awesome! I cannot say enough great things about Karen, her boyfriend and the house of course. 
1st of all upon arrival, meeting my needs, she was very accommodating and easy. We were traveling with our boat and she had room in her nice driveway and allowed us to keep it there. We got in later, no problem. The air was a little warm for us and she quickly, turned it down. She has water glasses and nice treat by the side of the bed...also a treat bowl in the kitchen-She had extra linens and pillows, very nice quality. The room was big, clean, quiet & nicely decorated, and very cozy! I slept in so late, she has great blinds that block out sunlight if you want it to! The bathroom was nice and spacious, located right next to the bedroom and lots of toiletries incase you forget something. Very nice modern, eclectic, nature theme throughout the house-very clean too- Very Austin!! The location is great, located in a nice, quiet, trendy neighborhood close to highway and all the great sights(only $10 uber ride to 6th street) but quiet to come back and relax. Our 2nd night we came back, had a local Austin friend with us and all hung out in the backyard, swam and played Ping-Pong. They were not only accommodating, but very inviting. Did not make you feel like you are just a guest, but a friend. If you want privacy and not much interaction, they are down for that too. They gave lots of directions and recommendations, as well. All in all, our experience was so awesome we will definitely book with them again! Highly recommend staying with them! "
971370,47407352,2015-09-18,30298053,Judith,"We loved staying at Karen and Ben's house.From the first moment I felt very welcome.  They are both energetic and inspiring people doing interesting things with their lives.  They included us in their activities like we were family.
The house was clean and beautiful backing onto Austin's greenbelt.  This area was just a few blocks from our kids house and it was lovely area to stay in.  I would not hesitate to stay here again.  A great experience."
848258,3476741,2013-02-04,1109655,Simona,"I had a pleasant stay at the house (with two friends). It is close to the airport, at walking distance from the place I needed to be and close to downtown. It's spacious and well arranged. The patio looks great. I loved waking up in the morning with the bedroom full of light. I am glad I chose this place for our stay in Austin and will certainly stay there again, should I visit the city in the future. "
848258,3576142,2013-02-18,1139068,Mindy,"Stan's home was absolutely perfect!

Very clean and organized, not to mention great decorating taste! I would recommend this home to anyone. Thanks again!"
848258,3627714,2013-02-26,4660865,Hannah,"My two friends and I had a great time staying here! The furniture is nice and updated, the beds are super comfortable, and the backyard and patio are really cute (we were very happy to lie on the porch in the sunshine after traveling from blizzard-ridden Boston). Stan was very easy to arrange the visit with. The house is a quick 10 minute drive from the airport and even closer to downtown. Otherwise, everything was great! The house was very cute, and we really enjoyed ourselves! "
848258,3814429,2013-03-18,4644718,Samantha,"We stayed at this really cute house in East Austin for SXSW and had a great experience. Super clean, lovely, and amazing backyard. Stan is an awesome and communicative host and I would love to stay at this house again whether or not it's SXSW!!"

848258,4359637,2013-04-30,4981407,Matthew,"This beautiful East Austin home was exactly as described and a pleasure to stay in.  High points inculde   breakfast on the back porch, a tuned acoustic guitar, and a great selection on vinyl for the record lover.  Great location and a friendly neighborhood make this house somewhere I'd stay again."
848258,4694755,2013-05-20,2548203,Sandy,"Located in quiet neighborhood and close to many things, big house (2 bedrooms), big kitchen, nice back yard for catching some rays. Great Mexican restaurants near by. Was easy to find and had a folder with stuff to do inside. Located by convenience store (East something...) that sells coffee beans, mexican spices and great wine. Missing hair dryer although host explained it had just broken but did not respond to email about getting it replaced. Minor but annoying detail when you are prepping for a big day out and had to use car's AC to dry hair. "

We would definitely recommend this modern, adorable, Eastside treasure to anyone looking for a place!  "
848258,5909004,2013-07-22,6529024,Brad,"5 star rated experience.  
Great house, great location, good value.  We stayed 5 days and loved not being in a hotel room.  It is walking distance from Juan in a Million, best breakfast in Austin.  Stan graciously lets you play his record collection, which is great selection of classic rock, punk, and reggae; minus the Barbra Streisand.  The back deck, yard, and grill are a great place to entertain guests.  This place has so much more to offer than any hotel in town. "
848258,8391067,2013-10-28,1577312,Bo,"This was exactly what we were looking for. It is in a great location, many great bars and restaurants nearby, clean, and quiet. It was a really great home away from home."

The house is absolutely charming, comfortable and spacious.  It was nice to come back to a place you have room to chill out and regroup!   The weather wasn't exactly working in our favor to enjoy the gigantic back yard!      Stan made sure we had the essentials and felt very welcomed!  "

It is quiet and peaceful and a welcome escape from the festival life. It was our first time to Austin and this place proved to be a great location on the east side (which we found to be our favorite side of Austin). Everything that we wanted to go to proved to be just 10 minutes away or so. The large backyard, however, was definitely the highlight! Thanks so much for everything!"
848258,12817705,2014-05-12,1634408,Kelly,We had a great stay at Stan's house! It was so nice to come back and relax on the back deck after running around all day. The neighborhood is terrific and close to basically everything we wanted to do. The house is also just around the corner from the Town Lake Hike and Bike Trail and it was super nice to be able to go for a walk or run along the water. Stan was super communicative and helpful! We would definitely stay here again. 
848258,13415744,2014-05-27,8593305,Amanda,"Stan was great! Very flexible. Offered us the house one day early because they were leaving town. We couldn't take advantage but it was a nice gesture! Super convenient location of the house. Really cool, clean and comfortable space. Only thing you should know is the shower is on the smaller side and a bit temperamental. If the weather had been nicer, we would have taken more advantage of the backyard. My guests and I would stay here again!"
848258,13911965,2014-06-08,13106640,Jessica Louise,"Big thanks to Stan and Erica for letting us stay in this lovely house. The house is beautifully renovated and comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet and lush with huge trees. We spent as much time as possible - breakfast and dinner - enjoying the huge backyard with its fantastic terrace (perfect for grilling). The house is located a very short walk from the Colorado River/ Ladybird Lake and a lovely walking/biking trail full of wildflowers and wildlife.

We were three people (one couple plus one), two of which were attending a conference at the Austin Convention Center. The ACC was approx 30 min walking distance from the house, which was the perfect amount of activity for breaking up otherwise sitting-intensive days. I worked via remote connection from the house while the other two were at the conference, and I found the wifi to be stable enough for working without disruption. The kitchen is relatively well-equipped. The only comment I might make, albeit a tiny one, is that the owners' personal items and furnishings gave the slightest feeling of intruding on their privacy. But perhaps this is just a reaction based on the fact that all of the vacation rentals we have previously stayed at have been strictly vacation rentals, and not part-time homes. In any case, I find it refreshingly impressive that the owners are so open to sharing their home with strangers. Thanks for the trust! 

Staying in this house was a bazillion times better than any hotel we could have stayed at!

848258,20051424,2014-09-22,1809680,Oona,"Below is the email I sent to the host on our first day.  He never responded.  

Hi Stan,

Yes, arrived last night. Such a sweet house and very happy to be in Austin but a few things that I wish I'd know.

While I realize it isn't at all your fault, since last night the construction has moved down the street so that the road is now blocked off and the entrance to your driveway is largely inaccessible. When we just returned they were nice enough to let us enter the construction zone but I'm not sure we'll be able to keep doing that in the following days as the work is now directly in front of your house.

Another thing--we slept in the king size bed last night and the middle was completely caved in. The blanket was dirty (which was not a big deal) so this morning we washed it. But when we went to put it into the dryer there was another blanket already in there and it (and the dryer) were completely covered in pet hair. Not sure if it was an oversight but we've switched to the smaller bed which has only an empty duvet cover, so no blanket option there either.

It would have been very helpful to know that there's pet hair as my husband is allergic and also about the construction and driveway issues. 

Your reviews were all excellent and I feel really bad writing this email, have stayed in lots of house rentals over the years and have never done this. I really don't mean to complain but not sure if you're local and these are things you're already aware of so felt the need to let you know.
"
848258,21627251,2014-10-20,1292720,Tim,"Stan is a great host and his house has character, is beautiful and definitely a place we would like to stay at again.  Has all the amenities you need and is centrally located so you can bike, walk, or drive to some awesome Austin spots.

"
848258,22729407,2014-11-13,8005539,Kiersten,"What a beautiful home! My boyfriend and I stayed at Stan's place for a week and found it to be conveniently located to everywhere we wanted to see, eat at, drink at, or visit in Austin. Stan has a defined style/taste that speaks through the home's decor which is simplistic, yet inviting. He was easy to communicate with both prior to and during our stay and provided extensive information on everything we needed to know about our stay from the place itself to the surrounding neighborhood. The weather was everything from rainy, to hot, to windy while we were in Austin, so we had to fiddle with the thermostat on an almost regular basis--we unfortunately, were never able level out the temp inside. Needless, we had a great time in Austin as always and would not hesitate to request a stay at Stan's place again."
848258,22958896,2014-11-18,2369434,Marie,"We enjoyed our week at Stan's place! Favorites: huge comfy couch, record player, and backyard perfect for lounging."
848258,24514512,2014-12-29,2898112,Kjirsten,"We were delighted by this house!  It was clean, well furnished, and located in a great neighborhood.  The back patio is awesome for relaxing.  Stan was super helpful in accommodating our same day request when a different house fell through.  We also really enjoyed the record player and old school Nintendo system!  We'd highly recommend this house for anyone staying in Austin, and hope to be back ourselves some day.  "

848258,28875810,2015-03-31,471453,Michael,"Awesome backyard space! Really loved the area. It is close to the river trail for bilking. And convenient to many hip bars, restaurants, and shops. Everything was clean and comfortable. And Stan is very friendly and communicative!"
848258,29756883,2015-04-12,18925078,Brandon,"Stan was very accommodating and responsive to my questions and on checking in.  Everything was very easy and ran smoothly.  The location is pretty solid.  It's not right on top of bars and restaurants but is within an easy walk of many.  The house itself is very cool and the deck and backyard is fantastic!  They have the backyard and deck furnished with plenty of tables and chairs to really be able to enjoy it.  The only problem that we had was that one of my friends is allergic to dogs, and the house (couch and blankets) had a lot of dog hair on them.  So he really had difficulty sleeping due to this.  Again, overall this place was great, but the allergies caused a problem.  If you are okay with dog hair, then I highly recommend the house.  If you are allergic, then I'd unfortunately have recommend staying somewhere else.  "

848258,31951628,2015-05-12,18768284,Andrew,The house was great and exactly as appeared in the pictures. We especially enjoyed the back deck. Location is perfect if you want to be in a private neighborhood with plenty of space but still very close to downtown. Would definitely stay here again.
848258,34419560,2015-06-08,25549705,Corey,"The pictures do not do this home justice; the backyard is awesome!  Staying in Austin for a pre-bachelorette party weekend, Stan and Erika's Craftsman East Austin Home was the perfect place to hang out at and come back to after long days in downtown Austin!  A welcome binder greeted us and informed us of all the details we needed to be aware of, and included favorite hang-outs and restaurants to become familiar with - nothing was left out! "
848258,52079954,2015-10-26,10040660,Stephen,Nice house - huge back yard. Friendly host. Communication was fast and consistent.
3121477,38202159,2015-07-13,37366557,Kelly,Great location in south Austin.  House was well maintained on the inside and beds were comfy.  Beautiful backyard - kids had plenty of room to play.  Chelsea responded quickly to all emails.  
3293477,16050705,2014-07-20,7044665,Mat,Emilie was extremely accommodating to make our stay as smooth as possible. Always replied to questions promptly and provided us with great insights into what to see and do in Austin. The place was perfect - loved the quirky decor and record player! Was lovely to meet Pico too! Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again
3293477,18920452,2014-09-02,17054947,Marion,Emilie's place was just as in the photos. Her housemates were also very welcoming
3293477,21385878,2014-10-16,20944975,Steve,"Staying at Emilie's place was great. The house was located on the east side of the city, close enough to all of the action on 6th street. She gave me great recommendations on the good spots to check out. Her roommates were very nice too. They kept to themselves and gave me the space i needed to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would definitely recommend a stay here with these girls."
3293477,21890982,2014-10-26,3576974,Daniel,"Cozy place, great host.  Very accommodating to a late arrival.  I don't mind walking, and walked to downtown ~30 min walk and to UT Austin ~30 min.  If you are looking for the Marriott and frills you can look elsewhere, if you are looking for a nice, clean place being rented by these wonderful ladies who are subleasing this room then this is a fine place."
3293477,22282731,2014-11-02,5168815,Nihar,Great place to stay. Exactly as shown in description. A no frills stay at an ideal location!
3293477,22332461,2014-11-03,22841009,Amy,"Emilie's place looks just like the pictures. The house was easy to find and there was street parking available during our whole stay. It's just a short walk to 6th street or the UT campus, though at night we decided to drive or take a cab.

Inside, the house is charming and tidy. The full size bed is super comfy and the shower head has good water pressure. Emilie's room is so nicely decorated and so uncluttered that it was easy to feel at home. 

We didn't get a chance to meet Emilie, but her roommate was welcoming and helpful. Pico the cat was friendly too. We would definitely stay here again."
3293477,25610119,2015-01-20,4018068,Alex,"Emily is everything you could ask for in a host - warm, conscientious, and energetic. Her house is clean, wonderfully decorated and situated in a prime location. Emily and her friends provided excellent recommendations on where to eat and go out like the locals."
3293477,26438826,2015-02-12,8586183,Maria,Emilie was a great host! It was easy to communicate with her and discuss all questions I had. She was very nice and provided additional room pictures and house description quickly after I asked for it. The place was exactly as it was described and exceeded my expectations.
3293477,27379479,2015-03-02,17926951,Guillaume,"Very nice place, well placed even if the weather didn't allow us to walk around. Very convenient, Emilie and her roommates are always ready to help you even when they are not in the apt. I would recommend this place to my friends. The room has nothing of special but has all what you need."
3293477,29989670,2015-04-15,20184359,Morgan,Emilie and her roommate Christina were extremely welcoming and helpful with suggestions for things to do in Austin - They even took the time to drive us to one of our destinations AND out for ice cream. Their house is pretty conveniently located but be prepared to take Uber and cabs most places; otherwise a lot of Austin is 20-30 minutes walking distance away. This is a perfect place if you're looking just to crash. Overall wish we were a little closer to some of the attractions but Emilie was an amazing host! 
3293477,30370580,2015-04-20,3388412,Noëmie,We stayed at Emilie's place for a night and we really liked it. It was cozy and we felt like home. Both her and her roommate are very nice. The house is located not far from downtown and we took a 10' bus so that was nice. I would definitely recommend their place to stay.
3293477,31332110,2015-05-04,21933270,Candice,Emilie was very nice.  She welcomed me the day I got there.  The listing is accurate.  The neighborhood was nice.  I was very close to the venue I needed to be and it was very convenient. 
3293477,32263097,2015-05-16,6902702,Jean-François,"Emilie's place is very nice. It's comfy, well located and very well decorated! Emilie was the perfect host, she was helpful for recommendations about things to do in the city and always available to help, even when she was not there. I would definitely recommend this place."
3293477,39258759,2015-07-22,27334800,Mal,The host canceled this reservation 11 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3293477,44046241,2015-08-23,41546728,Jack,Very nice location in Austin with a cosy room and welcoming hosts! Emilie was very accommodating and willing to tell me about places to go and things to see. Would definitely recommend! 
3293477,47190653,2015-09-16,7326440,Vincent,"My experience was fantastic.  Emilie's room was exactly as described and even more charming in person.  The location was in arm's reach of everything.

She was extremely accommodating too!"
3293477,49487550,2015-10-04,23149415,Amanda,"Emilie wasn't home when we were staying here, but helped us check in and out easily through her roommate. The place features a lot of great design but is an older house, and is probably only a good fit for younger guests.

The location is definitely great - super convenient to UT, east 6th, and other cool areas. Easy to park as well.

Our hosts were never really home, I saw one of them on the first day but that was it. 

Overall, it seems like it's not super fit to be an Airbnb - the house is old and not super clean, the hosts weren't around, and there was no sort of effort to welcome us (normally there will be a note, some coffee in the morning, etc). If you need a place to crash and you're in your early 20s, this place is pretty cool. If you're looking for a welcoming experience to Austin, I'd spring for something else. "
3293477,50687242,2015-10-13,32836239,Christine,Emilie's place was exactly what we needed! It was super close to everywhere we needed to be (about 10 minutes to downtown) and uber was super cheap in between. The room was cute and there were fresh towels waiting for us. She was very responsive to my texts! Would definitely stay again (:
3293477,51097100,2015-10-17,23270952,Dan,Really enjoyed our stay at Emilie's place. Cool decor and great location. Emilie was always on hand to offer her local knowledge. 10/10
3293477,52146344,2015-10-26,14407896,Chris,"Emilie was a great host that was very accommodating. She even let me borrow her rain coat when it was pouring! She was very informative, willing to share great tips and places to go (especially on the coffee shop scene). As a prospective resident to Austin, this place gave me an authentic lens to view East Austin and get a feel for it's character. Close to eclectic coffee shops, local bars and restaurants. Also within a hop and skip to downtown. If you are looking for a genuine Austin experience, I would highly recommend this place"
4125200,28000043,2015-03-16,23816127,Trey,"Great house in a great location.  Immaculate, beautiful, and well stocked.  
Great hosts: very communicative and helpful!
The Sonos sound system allowed us to play our own music from our phones which really raised the bar on the ambiance.  Well stocked coffee.  
We walked to great restaurants and live music venues at SoCo from here.
The master bed is very firm, but slept well for us."
8880973,51238874,2015-10-18,29738529,Jessie,Jason was very welcoming and informative. He not only gave us great directions but was full of suggestions for dinner and music. The studio was very clean and the location was awesome- close enough to the bustling downtown but still far enough that we had a great night sleep without any noises from the city. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come back to Austin.
8880973,51822011,2015-10-24,10371873,Maarit,"The apartment was everything the listing said. It was a great little space - perfectly clean and supplied with everything I needed (towels, dishes, etc). I had a great experience, no complaints! "
8880973,51873054,2015-10-24,19253114,Katie,"I booked last-minute and he responded quickly. I had somehow lost my phone on the way to Austin, and he responded immediately to my voicemail left from another person's phone. He cheerfully gave me all the information I needed and guided me to my new cozy spot!"
8880973,52173313,2015-10-26,37438890,Hillary,"Jason was very responsive in terms of text or phone. We had car trouble during the rain and he picked up asap. He came by without hesitation to jump start our car though he was not nearby. Jump started our car in the pouring rain. Now, that's some great Austin hospitality. Place was awesome as well with all amenities provided and nicely decorated, clean as well. Highly recommend his place for stay. :-)"
8880973,52652731,2015-10-31,47430268,Seth,"Jason was great and very welcoming.  The unit is small and perfect in a good part of town.
I would definitely stay here again.
"
8714904,50607458,2015-10-12,45995666,Layla,Host was very sweet and helpful. She gave great directions which made it easy to get to downtown Austin from the metro which is no more than a five minute walk from the apartment. Apartment was very clean and the clean carpet makes it extra cozy.
4227496,28084021,2015-03-17,26359082,James,"This is a great place. Small but perfectly formed. It's within walking distance of downtown - if you're looking to get your 10k steps per day that is - and the complex, while being renovated while we were there, will be lovely once the work is completed. It's also very reasonably priced. Stephanie was very helpful during the booking process and left us a wealth of useful info. Highly recommended!"
4227496,28403313,2015-03-23,1268966,Jamie,"Stephanie was very communicative and helpful and gave us lots of recommendations. Her place was as described (except for the pool being empty but it was too cold anyway!), the photos are very accurate. It was a very handy location for Sxsw with nice places to eat close by. "
78898,200936,2011-03-16,427847,Sarah,"My stay with Jaime and Mike was one of the easiest and most pleasant experiences I have ever had!!  I went to Austin during the madness of SXSW and staying with them was peaceful and gave me a chance to relax.  They were both so attentive to my needs and offered advice about transportation, restaurants, etc.
The guest house itself is cute, quiet, clean and homey.  I really didn't want to leave.  In fact, I requested to stay an extra night and they were extremely flexible and accommodating.
I really cant say enough nice things about my host, the house and the location.  I will definitely be back if they will have me :)"
78898,205560,2011-03-21,434562,Casey,Great hosts!  Place was very cozy and relaxing! 
78898,230622,2011-04-18,480909,Kee,"This place was paradise for us.  What could be better than instantly becoming another neighbor in South Austin...even for a long weekend? Austin is such a fun city. Jaime and MIke were great hosts with an ability to read what we wanted, giving us great local tips, plenty of privacy, suggestions for music, restaurants, the back way into the park, you name it.  We loved the casita  and appreciated its charm and functionality more each day.  Beforehand, we were a little worried about the bed being a futon, but it was very comfortable.  We slept well.  We are envious that your trip is in front of you.  Go enjoy this nice space and these good people."
78898,504902,2011-09-05,1101217,Oscar,"Jaime and Mike are pleasant hosts.  The guest house is cute (very hip to Austin culture) and clean and offers plenty of space for a single person or a couple as ourselves.  There is plenty of privacy as the guest house is completely separate from the hosts' home.  This house is in a residential area and in a safe neighborhood.  It is easy to find and to get to.  There is limited parking on the street and in the driveway, so opt to bring a smaller vehicle so that you can maneuver around more easily.  Great location within walking or biking distance of several great Austin eateries and venues.  Off Lamar and near Barton Springs and the Greenbelt.  Excellent homey stay.  The price is right.  No hesitation to book it again in the future.  Had a great time, thank you guys!"
78898,575935,2011-09-27,1172212,Christine,"A great example of South Austin. This studio is in the perfect location, close to everything that makes Austin-Austin. Centrally located for an easily accessible adventure to other parts of the city.
Fun music decor, very comfortable private space for one or two, very comfortable futon, good Austin literature to read, nice amenities and very helpful and considerate hosts. I will definitely stay there there again should the opportunity arise. "
78898,680104,2011-11-01,1197341,Carolyn,"Staying in Jaimie and Mike's guest house was absolutely perfect for me!  It's a cute house, with everything I needed.  The location was good - I rented a bike for the weekend and had no trouble getting everywhere I wanted to go.  Jamie and Mike were very friendly and helpful, both before and during my stay.  I'd definitely recommend staying with them, and I will again if I'm lucky enough to make it back to Austin! "
78898,870558,2012-01-18,1438424,Terry,"I stayed w/ Jaime while I was in Austin for a week looking for permanent housing. I will recommend her place to my friends when they come to visit in Austin.

Great bargain for about the perfect Austin location for someone that wants live music and restaurants in Austin. Guest house is NOT large, but you would be crazy to spend your time in Austin inside. 

Jaime is super-sweet and very accommodating.

Everything was very clean. Coffee Maker and Microwave made for cheap breakfasts. Bed is just a futon, but it wasn't bad. I was there in January, so weather was 70' down to 35'. Window AC and Heater were adequate. 

Less than a mile to Saxon Pub (my fave Austin Blues Bar) and 2.5 to Continental Club (my fave Austin Americana Bar). 6th Street Bar Scene has a lot of everything and is about 3 miles away. Great restaurants include Maria's, Maudie's. and Mr. Natural.  Great spots for sports include Red's Porch and Black Sheep. 

Enjoy Austin.... and by all means, keep Austin Weird!"
78898,912815,2012-02-10,1705011,Hermina,"Jaime and Mike were so gracious and helpful to us! The studio guest house is really perfect for a comfortable stay in Austin that's not too spendy. It is nice to be in a real neighborhood in Austin when visiting, rather than a hotel removed from the real experience of town. "
78898,994860,2012-03-13,1501775,Craighton,"Jaime's guest house fit the bill perfectly, and she was a great hostess! The space was just the right size and I loved having the autonomy to come and go as I pleased, and didn't have to worry about bothering anyone. I rented a bike from a shop down the street, and it was a quick shot into downtown for SXSW. One of the morning sit was raining like crazy and Jaime actually gave me a ride into town—how nice is that? Small touches like refreshments, coffee, and snacks were definitely appreciated and made the whole stay really pleasant. Highly recommended!"
78898,1022255,2012-03-20,1335964,Anna,We had a lovely stay at the guest house for SXSW. Our hosts were more than hospitable. We had a great time riding around the neighborhood and waking up to the sound of birds after a night of crowds and loud music.
78898,1054389,2012-03-28,1153241,Leila,"Jaime & Mike's guest house was perfect for my weekend getaway. Perfect size for two people, roomy but cozy. A quiet, charming neighborhood close to everything. The accommodations were quite comfortable. Jaime is a great host. Lots of tips and suggestions for dining, music, and activities. Will definitely stay there again next time I get to Austin."
78898,1175822,2012-04-24,1909402,Tiffany,The unit was perfect for our needs and central to everything.  I loved having a patio where we could sip morning coffee and listen to the birds or have a beer in the evening.  Very thoughtfully appointed.  I found bandaids in the drawer when I cut myself and antacid when I was suffering from too much b-b-que.  Free coffee and real half and half always make me happy first thing in the morning!  The kitchenette was great for small meals.  No reason for a larger kitchen there is so much good cheap food in Austin.  Super gracious hosts with helpful tips about Austin and the local music scene.  
78898,1380168,2012-05-29,2383938,Ely,"Our stay at Jamie's place was perfect! She had so much information for us on what to do and what was happening while we were there. We got to enjoy tons of what Austin had to offer within walking distance of her home. Her place was super clean, and the AC was amazing! loved it there and she was so nice. "
78898,1577489,2012-06-27,894241,Evron,"This is a really great couple. They opened up their home to me and my girlfriend for 4 days while we rented out our place. Originally we were going to go to Portland but plans fell thru and we ended up needing a place to stay at the last minute. Luckily the Shimkus's were more than happy to host us. I like that their guest house is set back from the main house. It's clean, quiet, and comfortable. It's an incredible deal for the festival crowd and prefect if you stay out late. Because you don't have to disturb anyone when you return."
78898,1651574,2012-07-07,2708955,Cameron,"We had a great stay in Austin. Jaime's place is in a fantastic location, close to lots of fun places. The house is very clean and spacious for a studio.  I highly recommend staying here."
78898,2407110,2012-09-25,3022455,Raul,The guest house was perfect.  Jaime and Mike are great hosts.  The location is awesome.  You are within walking distance of great restaurants and the Alamo Drafthouse.  I will definitely stay there the next time I visit Austin!
78898,2545221,2012-10-08,2683273,Sabrina,"This place is adorable and the owners are so nice. I was super busy and barely got to meet them, but their thoughtful personalities are clear by the little amenities they leave and helpful tips and info. I was at a conference and did not regret that i was staying at an airbnb place and not a hotel, since it was so comfortable and chill. There are also good restaurants and bars nearby. Highly recommend!"
78898,2925457,2012-11-20,2572762,Patrick,had a great time in a great city. mike & jaime were excellent hosts who went above & beyond making us feel comfortable. their place is conveniently located for so travelling via public transit downtown was a snap as well as walking to restaurant/bars. 
78898,4824330,2013-05-27,6549054,Nic,"My girlfriend and I stayed at Jaime & Mike’s guest house in South Austin Memorial Day weekend. We had decided to go to Austin last minute and request the guest house less than 24 hours prior to leaving for Austin. Luckily, it was available and Jaime was very prompt in her reply and communication with me. We had a rough drive down from Dallas due to weather and didn’t arrive until late the first night. Jaime had 2 cold beers waiting for us in the fridge when we finally arrived and told us we could stay as late as we needed on Sunday because of our late arrival Friday night.

The guest house was exactly what the pictures depict, very clean and neatly decorated. Everything we needed was right there. A binder on the side table when you walk in tells you everything you need to know about the guest house and things to do in Austin.  Jaime and Mike went above and beyond in recommending things to do both for rain and shine (since the weather, as always in TX, was unpredictable that weekend). We ended up doing most everything they recommended and had a wonderful time. The location of the guest house is perfect, right off of Lamar and close to many bars/ restaurants; also a good bike ride (even shorter drive) to Barton Springs.

Jaime and Mike are great people and very accommodating hosts. We highly recommend their guest house and look forward to staying there again in the future. 
"
78898,5334158,2013-06-24,6991924,Valerie,"My husband and I had a great stay.  The guesthouse was comfortable and private, and Jaime and Mike thought of everything we might need; they even provided fresh iced coffee and creamer for us, along with yogurt and other refreshments.  Highly recommend!"
78898,5535487,2013-07-04,7164825,Lauren,"Jaime and Mike were great hosts - they offered up fantastic suggestions and made it so easy to have a great time. Their place is perfect - great having a mini fridge and microwave to save some money on breakfasts, and very cozy and comfortable. The location is fantastic for those interested in the music scene - so many great venues within walking distance! Highly recommend to anyone visiting Austin. "
78898,7210430,2013-09-10,8575970,David,"We loved this place! Clean and comfortable, well stocked (coffee pot, coffee, CD/radio/clock, clothes' iron, etc.) and near everything we love about Austin. Jaime and Mike were super friendly and accommodating, too (they brought us extra hangers and a pitcher of iced coffee for our fridge!). We used to live in Austin, but wanted our own place for a long weekend. Mike recommended a great brew pub that just opened up 10 days before and we had a great time there with friends--thanks, Mike!! Really, this couldn't have been any better suited to our needs. Highly recommended."
78898,7384748,2013-09-17,8761275,David,My girlfriend and I stayed here for a weekend and the place and its owners were great.  We were welcomed with a pitcher of coffee and a couple local craft beers along with a few tips on what to see/do in Austin.  I would definitely recommend it.
78898,7711931,2013-09-30,8739063,Natalie,Jaime and Mike have a fantastic space for anyone looking to vacation in Austin. Their rental is in walking distance from everything that's always been great about Austin to the things that make Austin such a current hot-spot- from nearby Zilker Park to boutique restaurants. The studio is extremely clean and comfy and Jaime and Mike were very welcoming and accommodating. Great experience!   
78898,7904556,2013-10-07,6763963,Larry,"Jaime and Matt were great hosts!  Wife and I stayed for ACLFest and their place worked out great for us as it was about a 30 min. walk down to Zilker.  Their studio guest house was clean, the futon couch was comfortable for sleeping and the outside sitting area was great to just relax outside for a bit.  They thoughtfully left both water and iced coffee for us in the fridge as well as some snacks that came in handy!  There place is also within walking distance to some great restaurants on Lamar and a coffee bar that made the best lattes (and a bakery next to it!).  Had some issues with wifi connection but wasn't a big deal as we spent most of our time on the go.  All in all, a great experience and would definitely recommend their place for an Austin stay!"
78898,8077429,2013-10-15,6280852,Jenna,We had such a great time in Austin and staying at the Guest House really was wonderful. Jaime was super helpful and thoughtful. She gave us great recommendations for places to go and things to try. South Austin has a lot to offer and it was nice to have a local's perspective. The house is well stocked and really comfortable. We were in town for Austin City Limits and were able to walk to the festival without a problem. Jaime even offered to pick us up when it started to storm. A++!
78898,8695484,2013-11-12,6280811,Paula,"Jaime and her husband Mike were wonderful, welcoming, and considerate hosts. From the start, communication with Jaime was easy and she always responded promptly. The guest house was very comfortable, clean, and had everything (and even more) than we needed. It was also in a great location, close to many different neighborhoods, shopping areas, restaurants and bars, which is perfect if you are going to be biking around Austin. Jaime and Mike are very knowledgeable about Austin and offered much great advice on restaurants and bike routes. I highly recommend them and definitely would like to stay with them again in the future."
78898,8928206,2013-11-26,4660593,Shannon,"Thanks Jamie! I had a lovely stay at your South Austin studio. Since I'm from Austin and I used to live around the corner, I find this location perfect. It's close to all my favorite spots; Maria's tacos, Barton Springs, Yoga Yoga, Broken Spoke and South Congress.

Keep Austin Weird!

Shannon"
78898,9953901,2014-01-21,858301,Virginia,"Jaime and Mike were terrific hosts, and the guest house was clean, private and comfortable. The location is terrific for outdoor fun in Austin - a 20 minute walk to Zilker Park and Barton Springs for swimming, canoe rentals, and hikes. Carless travelers beware, though. Austin isn't the easiest place to get around if you are not driving. For longer stays, I'd suggest renting a bike.  "
78898,10709734,2014-03-03,6742888,Christina & Dillon,This was such a lovely place!! Perfect for our stay in Austin. Jamie & mike were so accommodating & the guest house had everything we could possibly want. Thank you so much! We would definitely stay again
78898,10917028,2014-03-13,8463217,Brian,Stayin with Jaime and Mike was like staying with old friends. They went out of their way to make sure I had anything I needed. At the same time very courteous and I always had plenty of privacy. One morning when it was raining Jaime texted me and gave me a ride into town. This was an awesome time and I would definitely stay there next time I come to town. 
78898,11186863,2014-03-24,970985,Amanda And Becky,"The house was exactly what we'd hoped for, and in the perfect location. We didn't really take advantage of the space as much as we'd have liked, since we had lots of family to visit on our trip. Even so, it was a perfect cozy and private place to lay our heads during a hectic weekend. Our hosts were both very welcoming, and we definitely plan on staying again in the future."
78898,12001663,2014-04-21,12876455,John,Mike and Jaime were great at communicating with me before the trip and they were very accommodating from the moment I drove up to when I left.  Great place to stay and great location in Austin. 
78898,12299843,2014-04-28,6887731,Jessica,"I came to Austin to celebrate a surprise engagement with friends. I knew we would be on the go most of the weekend so I wanted to stay somewhere close to the action and with lots of character. The South Austin studio guest house is just that! It was absolutely perfect! 

When I booked the studio I was anticipating a futon bed but as my trip approached Jaime emailed me to let me know that had rearranged some furniture and added a queen bed (jack pot!). The studio was just the right amount of space, the bed was comfortable, and Jaime has thought of absolutely everything. From the guest house welcome notebook, to snacks in the fridge and GOOD coffee (this is very important for us Seattleites), to a hair dryer in the (email hidden) was everything I would have wanted and more. The outdoor space is warm and inviting and Lola the guard dog is just the sweetest.

Again, the location was perfect for access to everything and exploring south Austin. I loved being so close to Zilker park and Barton Springs for great outdoor activities. Jaime had great recommendations for restaurants and things to check out and was the perfect host. I was so grateful for her hospitality and thoughtfulness. I would absolutely recommend the studio guest house in South Austin to anyone and I will definitely stay here I again when I'm back in town! Cheers!"
78898,12634689,2014-05-06,1631745,Wallace,"This is a great South Austin spot to base your visit.  

Jaime and Mike were very friendly and responsive hosts - we got several great recommendations for food and music venues from them - some right in the immediate area.

The studio was larger than we had thought it would be and in a pleasant neighborhood.  The bed was very comfortable and the place stayed cool even without the available A/C, even in 92 degree weather.

Recommended!"
78898,13253114,2014-05-23,15185493,Sharon,Great knowledgeable hosts.neat clean accommodations close to lots of restaurants. Would definitely recommend this place to people traveling to Austin. 
78898,13724131,2014-06-02,6001204,Mikaela,"The guest house was perfect for my husband and my weekend in Austin.  It was in a cool neighborhood that was fun to ride our bikes around.  It was near cool things to see and eat- barton springs, south congress and lamar.  It was clean and convenient, with good AC and nice sheets, and Jaime was the perfect host.  We said hi and had a quick conversation, but otherwise didn't really interact, which was good with us.  She left yogurt and water for us in the mini fridge, both of which were lifesavers.  Definitely check this place out.    "
78898,13963775,2014-06-09,4977554,Ash,"I really enjoyed my stay here at Jaime and Mike's place. I was in town for work and up early so was thankful for a comfy bed and quiet place. It was CLEAN and well-appointed--they even put some snacks in there for me :)  

I'll be back in town and am looking forward to staying here again. "

78898,15659486,2014-07-13,993725,Carrie,"This is a wonderful little cottage in a great neighborhood. We had booked a different place to stay while in Austin, but because of damage done to the property our host had to cancel 2 days before we were arriving. Jamie allowed us to book last minute. She also was very helpful giving us pointers about Austin also.  Its a great little place and in a great location."
78898,16586096,2014-07-29,7228384,Shaina,"I couldn't have imagined a better stay in Austin. Jaime and Mike were the perfect hosts and their guest house was very comfortable and had everything you could need. The house stayed cool during the hot days and was plenty spacious. The bed was comfortable, too! The location was great with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants and also quick and easy to get to Barton Springs, South Congress, and Downtown. I even walked home from downtown one evening. It was about two miles but easy to find and felt safe and well-lit the whole way. I'm so glad I chose to stay with Jaime and Mike and would definitely stay again when back in Austin!  "
78898,16937931,2014-08-04,18666230,Amelia,"Jaime is a great host, happy to help with information and tips on the best way to get around and fun things to do. This is an awesome location. Quaint and quiet. Perfect little spot. Can't wait to stay again!"

They were also very friendly and had some great suggestions for things to do in the area.  I would absolutely recommend staying at Jaime's place while in Austin."
78898,19165576,2014-09-07,2940482,Joanna,"Jamie and Mike were great hosts.  They had timely responses for check-in, flexible check-in and check-out, the apartment was very clean and nicely air-conditioned, bed was extremely comfortable, and lot's of ""extras"" in the apartment.  

I did use the bus once during the weekend, but I mostly drove.  You could do either! Would definitely stay here again!

PS: I accidentally left my book at the apartment and Jamie prompted texted for my address, so that she can mail it back to me!!  What a great host!!"
78898,19479141,2014-09-13,8713215,Liz,"I lived in Austin for 8 years before recently moving to Cali and come into town for work now and then. Staying at Jaime's felt like coming home. She was such a great host. Check-in and check-out were a breeze (she even let me keep my bags at her place for a few extra hours while I wrapped up my visit with friends). She had lots of homey touches too, like cold water in the fridge, snacks in the cabinet and even extra toiletries, if I needed them. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for others looking for a great location and nice place to stay while exploring Austin."
78898,20013446,2014-09-22,1541514,Jason,"Jamie and Mike were great hosts! Even though we showed up relatively late into the evening, they were both there to welcome us. It was walking distance from everywhere we needed to go (and oftentimes close enough to the bus stop we needed), and the neighborhood was nice, calm, and cozy. 

(And their two little dogs were absolutely adorable). "
78898,20337379,2014-09-28,4977554,Ash,"I've stayed twice at Jaime and mike's place and have been happy both times! Clean, quiet space and they're friendly and courteous and not up in your business at all :). Great little guest house. "
78898,20809352,2014-10-06,11293232,Emily,"This is truly a fantastic place to stay in Austin. We stayed here for our ACL visit - it was a 25min walk to the park. The house is adorable and has plenty of space! Jamie is wonderful - they made us feel so welcome! A really nice perk - they had everything you need for your stay :) extra toiletries, snacks in the fridge, extra blankets, etc. 

Overall a really great experience!"
78898,21192715,2014-10-13,164035,Amy,"Jaime and Mike couldn't have been nicer people. We were treated so well and with such hospitality. The place is adorable, has every amenity you'll need and more. For us, an added bonus were their 2 doggies, Lola & Woody. So adorable! It was such an easy walk to ACL and Mike was sweet enough to give us a lift one of the days :) Thanks Mike!! Overall, we were so happy to stay here and will absolutely do it again. Big thanks to Jaime and Mike for making us feel so welcome and comfortable!! Come to San Diego anytime! "
78898,21698510,2014-10-22,14038454,Anne,"Mike was welcoming and helpful; Jaime was out of town but communicated with me. I had a wonderful week there, felt very comfortable, rested well. The guest house has all that I needed, especially since I was there to visit family. I like the neighborhood and enjoyed walks. I will be happy to return."

In the evenings we were able to walk to very nice restaurants and bars. The neighborhood seems very safe and we would definitely choose to stay here again."
78898,22288662,2014-11-03,13951792,Jess,"Our stay in Austin with Jaime and Mike was great! The guest house was lovely and had everything that we needed for our stay. Our hosts were flexible and accommodating. Additionally, they left tons of great information/recommendations on food and other points of interest. We had never been to Austin and weren't really sure where their place was in relation to the activities we were interested in, but location location location - this was the perfect spot for all of our Austin adventures! We were able to catch a bus downtown easily and it wasn't too far from anything we wanted to see. If we are ever lucky enough to head back to Austin we would definitely want to stay here again!"
78898,22602674,2014-11-10,13031116,Brittany,"Tim and I loved staying at Jaime & Mike's South Austin Guest House for Fun Fun Fun Fest! It was the perfect size for the two of us, the perfect distance to get to Auditorium Shores, and basically everywhere else, on our bikes (there were a few hills that we weren't ashamed to get off our bikes and walk!), and perfect hosts that were there if we needed them, had great suggestions for eating and biking in the area, and had the most adorable and well behaved dogs that occasionally greeted us during the day! We would definitely recommend staying here and hopefully can make it back again one day!"
78898,23877566,2014-12-13,22928025,Brian,"Mike greeted us and showed us around. They live in an emerging & growing new part of Austin. Music and food in abundance. Nice venues within walking distance. The cozy space is decorated with music collectibles, etc. Loved their two dogs who also greeted us."
78898,24509954,2014-12-29,6511538,James,Great location and great place.  Both Jaime and Mike where helpful and friendly!
78898,24740126,2015-01-02,15909150,Clint,"Jaime and Mike were ideal Airbnb hosts. We felt very welcome in the studio guest house even before arriving. Their instructions were clear and useful. The place was clean, cozy and closer to downtown than we thought (a 15 minute walk). Jaime and Mike were available for any concerns, but never once invaded our privacy. I would stay here again in a (email hidden)ue South Austinites! "

78898,27264748,2015-03-01,589087,Cristen,"Ideal hosts: available to help but provide space as well; Jaime and Mike were really responsive and knowledgeable.

78898,28066554,2015-03-17,20579327,Helen,"Jaime and Mike are amazing hosts - they made me feel so welcome and included many personal touches in the guest house. They were great at checking in to make sure things were going well and I loved their recommendations for activities and places to eat and shop. The guest house is cozy but spacious, too - and the fridge, microwave and kitchenette help make it much better than a hotel room. The location could not be more perfect - it's in a beautiful neighborhood within walking distance to great places to eat, a couple little markets and a Metro Rapid bus stop, which makes it easy to get around if you don't have a car. You are close to the downtown are but far enough away to get a break from the crowds when you need it. Bring your swimming gear - Barton Springs Pool is a short 20 minute walk away and is great for open water lap swimming or just a refreshing dip. You can also run or hike on the nearby greenbelt or in Zilker Park. I had an all around great experience and highly recommend staying here if you get the chance."
78898,28278688,2015-03-21,25971600,Joy,"Jaime and Mike were wonderful hosts. I was in town for a short stay during SXSW this year and was able to get 2 great nights of rest in their guest home. Their room was well-equipped with every accommodation I could think of, including snacks, towels, and even an umbrella and poncho for the downpour. I really appreciated their helpful little notes around the house as well - they made me feel very welcome. Thanks so much for everything!"
78898,28507457,2015-03-24,238359,Leah,"Staying here was better than I could have hoped for. It was a calm, peaceful retreat so close to the best of what Austin has to offer. Jaime and her husband Mike were friendly and super communicative. From check-in to check-out, everything was straightforward and easy. They were extremely respectful of our privacy but were always a text away if we needed anything. We woke up to birds chirping every morning, and feel asleep to peace and quiet each evening. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!"
78898,28797790,2015-03-30,27836736,Rachael,"We had a wonderful stay at the South Austin guest house. Jamie and Mike are excellent hosts and the place was stocked with thoughtful ""extras"" (snacks, earplugs, information about the area) to help make our stay great. I loved the location too - it feels ""neighborhoody"" and you are within walking distance of Barton Springs pool and Zilker park, with easy access to anywhere you would want to go in Austin.  If we ever head back to Austin, we'll definitely stay here again! "

Mike welcomed us and gave us a quick rundown of the studio and checked to make sure we had plans for the evening. 

The studio was stocked with snacks and beverages. Thanks so much! The chocolate was a lovely treat! This was a great spot close to some delicious food stations and Saxon Pub. We had a great time!"

The guest house is very comfortable and charming, small but plenty big for us. It is located in a very nice neighborhood, quiet but just a hop away to many cool places to eat and hang out. 
We are very glad we stayed there and will again next time we are in Austin."
78898,30666733,2015-04-26,15098245,Michelle,"Jaime & Mike were wonderful hosts. Very easy to work with, laid-back, & good communication. House is in a cute, safe & quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Austin. Was quaint, cozy & comfortable. Perfect & couldn't ask for more. Room is larger than you would think. All the convinces of home. Bed is extremely comfortable! I only do airbnb now, no more hotels! They are A+++ :-) "

They've thought of everything when it comes to stocking the space with necessities; we felt as if we could have practically forgotten to pack luggage at all and been able to get by with no trouble! The location is nice and quiet, but still manages to make many of Austin's attractions easily accessible. This listing was part of what made our weekend in Austin so enjoyable!"

78898,34299396,2015-06-07,13274901,Rachel,"I don't think there is enough praise I could give Jamie and her husband for making our stay in Austin so incredible. From the moment my boyfriend and I booked with Jamie, she has been so accommodating and warm. Immediately responsive and communicable, Dan and I felt at home as soon as we saw the beautiful home we were staying in. We loved talking to Jamie and she had so many suggestions about what to do in Austin. She loves her city and she wants her guests to as well. The guesthouse was clean, well stocked, and super comfortable. The location is a true gem, located in South Austin off of Lamar Street, the neighborhood is walkable and burgeoning, we loved it! The true stars were their lovely and adorable pups Lola and Woody, they are fun to pet and hang out with. I appreciated everything they did for us, we would stay with them in a heartbeat again! "
78898,35126490,2015-06-15,4364083,Jeffry,"My girlfriend and I came in for a long weekend. Jaime & Mike were so accommodating and thoughtful both before and during the trip. They are pro level hosts and really thought of everything from umbrellas/ a cooler backpag/ to a stocked fridge. The space is clean, cozy, and met all our needs (AC/ wifi worked well). Looks just like the photos. Ideal location if you want a peaceful quiet neighborhood but very close to all the fun & landmarks. Would definetly come back and recommend to friends."
78898,35683670,2015-06-21,4103593,Ben,"Jaime was very easy to work with through all stages of the process. She was able to meet my wife earlier in the day and get her checked-in before I arrived that evening. Great location: Plenty close to everything fun to do yet just enough space away that you feel privacy. Loved the cottage itself, too. Comfortable, easy to find, easy to park. We'd definitely stay here again."
78898,36154381,2015-06-25,218563,Robert,"i travel alone to Austin via car regularly for work and the studio apartment is perfect in many ways including its location. The studio apartment is a charming no frills space with well thought out practical amenities. The overall vibe is mellow and has a quality that is disappearing in Austin. Jaime and Mike are available, easy to work with and very responsive. I will definitely be staying here again soon."
78898,36574906,2015-06-29,7409372,Emma,"Jaime and Mike were really great hosts! We arrived in the late evening and they welcomed us at the gate, showed us the cabin and gave us some great tips on where we could grab a late dinner nearby. The cabin itself was perfect, the bed was comfortable and the air-con worked really well keeping the humidity at bay. We came across a couple critters one night but they disappeared and we didn't spot them again. The neighbourhood has everything you need, stores nearby, some great restaurants, and the quirky cinema The Alamo Drafthouse was a great option when you needed to cool off indoors for a while! We didn't have a car but it was really easy to get around, a bus picking us up just a minute's walk from the place and leaving you right downtown. Would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone visiting Austin. "

It was cozy, comfortable, and well-stocked with everything we needed, including towels for swimming, bathing, and makeup removal, a backpack and tote bag to carry our things around the city, and snacks. Jaime and Mike also gave us some great recommendations of spots to check out in the city. Coming from Boston and Salt Lake, my friend and I did not find Austin to be a pedestrian friendly city, but we walked when we could (Barton Springs is close by) and Ubered everywhere else. All of our points of interest seemed to be within a ten minute drive of the apartment. It was great, and I'd highly recommend staying there! "
78898,39636541,2015-07-25,7038109,Jon,Jaime's south austin studio suite was perfect for our couple day getaway.  Jaime and her four legged friend Woody warmly greeted us upon arrival and we chatted a bit before settling in. The studio is located in a fun and funky neighborhood right off South Lamar and walking distance to many great bars and restaurants. The space itself is well furnished and has a comfy bed.

Lastly as we prepared for our trip Jaime was very prompt at answering any of our questions. Overall a great experience for our first time trying Air BnB. 

"
78898,49592457,2015-10-05,1131819,Claire,"My friend and I stayed in Jaime's studio for Austin City Limits Festival and the location was ideal: far enough from the big crowds, but close enough to walk. Regardless of the festival, the location is fantastic. We walked around the neighbourhood and discovered so many great places to eat and shop. The studio itself is even larger than it looks in the photos and literally has everything you could possibly need. Nothing was missed. Hospitality was A+ as well, we arrived to a pitcher of cold coffee that was very much appreciated after our long re-eye journey from home. Lastly I would mention the studio provides a very good amount of privacy. We were free to come and go as we pleased without worrying about disturbing anyone, and vice-versa. 
I would definitely stay at Jaime's place again. "

The place was a great price, and while not right downtown, it was an easy and cheap ride on the bus to get to wherever you needed to go. They also own a food truck right outside the awesome Spiderhouse Cafe, and their food was delicious! We also got to play with their amazing cats, which was a bonus for my friend and I since we are cat lovers. But, they don’t come in the bungalow so if you aren’t, that is ok too. I recommend the LOVE IT Bungalow for your trip to Austin:)"
4862735,28494444,2015-03-24,29096476,Tyler,If you choose to stay here there's no doubt you'll love it. The room is amazing and the hosts Gabe and Sao are just as great. They are very kind and generous people that will make sure your stay is as good as it can be.
4862735,31402932,2015-05-04,27443239,Johanna,"Gabe and Sao are really great people. We had a private and clean room.  If you choose to stay here, you will surely love it, and you can experience the local life there.  While it's not near downtown, but it's easy and cheap to use uber or lyft at austin. The cat there were cute. Also, they are really accommodating, we had fun playing together. And I should mention that they have quick response, too.  "
4862735,35275840,2015-06-16,34686844,Alain,Gabe and Sao are very nice and talkative. The have a quiet space separated from the house in the back part and you have the key so it's very private and then you have the bathroom in the main house. My stay there was perfect!
4862735,35988440,2015-06-23,12111955,Mark,"I had an amazing stay in the guesthouse at Gabe and Sao's. There was plenty of space, and was very nicely decorated. I was received with awesome hospitality by Gabe and Sao, and look forward to taking a visit to their food truck at the Spider House. Internet and access to W/D was also included, which was a real convenience for me for my time in Austin. I highly recommend staying in their lovely guest house!"
4862735,37120081,2015-07-04,12111955,Mark,This was the second time I stayed with Gabe and Sao in their lovely guest house. They are very accommodating and pleasant folks!  
4862735,42718884,2015-08-15,21139861,Jamie,"Gabe and Sao's place was great. The guest house was a lot bigger than it appeared in the photos and felt super cosy. I got my own private bathroom, which had a great shower and was provided with lots of clean towels/toiletries if required. 
Gabe and Sao were both very helpful and offered lifts into town if they could, and Gabe took me on a trip to Barton springs which was great. 
The neighborhood is quite but has everything you require close by and it's a short trip to central Austin.
I would highly recommended staying here if you're coming to Austin."
4862735,44719024,2015-08-28,42051440,Melanie,"I stayed with Gabe and Sao for a week while I looked for apartments and started school at UT. They are very flexible with move-in/out times, which I greatly appreciated. I was probably a more withdrawn guest than what they're used to, but they still made me feel comfortable and welcome. The pictures don't do justice to the eclectic beauty of their home and the bungalow in which you'll stay. The bathroom is in the main house but if you have to make any nighttime trips, they keep several lights on for you to see. And the house is a 10 minute walk away from an HEB, a Thai restaurant, and a MetroRapid stop that will get you downtown in 30 minutes. All in all, a very pleasant stay with very kind hosts."
4862735,46066841,2015-09-07,42929067,Glenn,"Gabe and Sao's place was great and matched the description well. Sao  greeted us and was very welcoming, doing a quick tour of the place despite us arriving late at night."
4862735,49816399,2015-10-06,33657168,Jackie,"I had a fantastic time staying with Gabe & Sao.  They were so accommodating, gave me some great suggestions for food and things to check out in the local area, and were always reachable by phone or in person if I needed anything or had any questions. 

The space I stayed in was super fun, very clean.  Lots of charming toys, odds and ends and little trinkets to explore, and I felt very comfortable hanging out in both my private space and the rooms in their house made available.

They had some other guests staying in their house at the same time I was who were very friendly and pleasant as well.

Great neighborhood, sweet house, and a quiet little area in great proximity if you don't mind a little bit of driving.  I found everything I was interested in seeing was within 5-10 minutes of the house (often less), and approximately 20 minutes from Downtown Austin.

I loved staying with Gabe & Sao and absolutely would again!"
4862735,50505151,2015-10-12,44262324,Beccah,"Wonderful room, we wanted to stay forever."
4862735,51364287,2015-10-19,36558150,Simeon,"Had a lovely and unique weekend in Gabe and Sao's beautiful back yard bungalow. They were wonderful hosts, sharing happily their living space, laundry and music. Would rent again, gabe and sao are very nice people."
4862735,52288352,2015-10-27,47064991,Courtney,They were really nice and even didn't mind that I was coming in to town at midnight. It was super clean and there was lots of cool things to check out in the little back house! 
4862735,52943481,2015-11-02,47672705,Karina,Gabe and Sao were very welcoming. Made a last minute booking with them and they responded right away! Their backyard bungalow is very cozy and private. Would definitely stay there again! 
4290459,22259192,2014-11-02,22547601,Brandon,"Justin was great.  Prompt in confirming our stay and with communication in general. The space was very cool, clean and close to everything.   Thanks Justin."
4290459,22553814,2014-11-09,2996367,Valerie,"This place was perfect for our needs! My friend and needed a place for one  night close to fun fun fun Fest, downtown, and was also perfect to go running along the park and Lake in the morning. Justin is super responsive and has everything set up in the loft :)"
4290459,34359402,2015-06-07,34228491,Colton,"We had a great experience at Justin's place! It was as described, and we absolutely loved the location! It was clean, comfy, and convenient.  "
4290459,49587387,2015-10-05,11726086,Kendra,"Awesome location for ACL and all Zilker based events! Gracious host and everything we needed for a great stay. Very comfortable bed and Barton Hills Market right next door has everything we needed...beer, wine, groceries etc! We will definitely book again!"
4290459,50428164,2015-10-12,1708549,Nicole,Our stay at Justin's place was great.  Everything we needed was close by and within walking distance.  We hope to stay here again in the future.
8301931,49913272,2015-10-07,39127018,Henry,"We had a great stay with Jennifer! She was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating for our schedule. It's a great house and the location is amazing, right next to a beautiful park and minutes from downtown."
701948,21135803,2014-10-12,20365154,Jeff,"Luke and Miranda were exceptional hosts. They were very welcoming and helpful. The house was beautiful and with the pool it was a very relaxing place to stay. 

The house was a short ride into the city and we couldn't have had a better time. 
"
701948,28011175,2015-03-16,27478458,Becca,Luke and Miranda were fabulous hosts! Their home is beautiful and just what we needed. Very on top of answering any questions and making sure we were settled ok. Great hosts!!!
701948,30674404,2015-04-26,28024001,Charles,Luke was helpful and the house was nice.
701948,49506826,2015-10-04,959446,Brady,"By far this was one of the most enjoyable AirBnb experiences I've had to date. Luke's home was gorgeous, spacious and welcoming. Luke and his wife were super responsive, easy-going, helpful and friendly. It was the perfect retreat for my large group of friends to relax between attending Austin City Limits, hanging out downtown and going to Lake Travis. 
There was plenty of space for us all, and we slept comfortably in the numerous beds, couches and inflatable matresses. The stereo system was easy to use with the Apple TV, the pool was fantastic,  although no hot tub.
It took us on average 15 minutes to reach 6th street on Uber XL, $20 per ride. There's no place to walk in the neighborhood, and there's a behemoth HEB for groceries up the road.
The only caveats to this location are we became paranoid about getting water on Luke's stunning oiled walnut floors. We left towels on the floor by the sink to keep them dry. Also the home security system was confusing to use and there were video cameras (dropcams) in the living room that were not disclosed.

I would absolutely recommend staying here! Thanks again Luke and family!"
959270,3800488,2013-03-16,5333016,Will,"We had a fantastic stay at Esteban's home for SXSW 2013. We rented Esteban's guest house for a full week and found it to be perfect for our stay. The room is well appointed, comfortable and has everything you'd need to have a great stay in Austin.

The neighborhood is also a big plus -- quiet and calm yet in a great location, very near Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool and Town Lake.

But above all, the host was gracious and extraordinarily accommodating. We had a fantastic experience all in all and we'd heartily recommend Esteban's guest house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin!"
959270,4260483,2013-04-22,3175837,Laura,It is such a great location and nice place to stay. Everything was clean and Esteban made sure to give me all the details before arrival. Thank you so much for being a great host! I will definitely be back. :)
959270,4307481,2013-04-26,2535400,Cj,Esteban's guest house is perfect. The space is very well designed and the location is perfect. Esteban is also very friendly and responsive. Highly recommend!
959270,4343340,2013-04-29,1891457,Brian,"We really enjoyed our stay in Austin! The guest house was very private and modern, with all of the luxuries necessary for a great vacation.  Esteban was a very gracious host and made sure that we had a good time and everything we needed.  The property was very well maintained and had a wonderful outdoor space and garden.  We would definitely recommend staying at this secluded garden bungalow."
959270,4670172,2013-05-19,1624898,Sabra,See my earlier review;)
959270,4721878,2013-05-21,1624898,Sabra,"Please do yourself the favor of staying at this lovely guest home in Zilker. I really loved it. I was there for a week on business, and this place offered ideal quiet, space, comfort and location. It's close enough to all the action of South Congress, but not too close. If you're renting a car, the guest house is ideal. The home is nestled behind the main house, has its own little path lined with wildflowers, separated from the rest of the property. It is beautifully put together, the bathroom/shower/etc is clearly brand new and I loved the soap... (it's about the little things, after all :-) Esteban and Maria were wonderful hosts...flexible and present... but offering lots of privacy. I arrived late and was able to let myself in without any problem. There was plenty of room to feel at home for a long stay. THANK YOU lovely people for opening up you space. I wish I could clone the property and transport it to my next AIRBNB destination. I will definitely stay with you (if the place isn't booked up) during my next visit to wonderful Austin! So happy to have found you! 

Sabra"
959270,4850051,2013-05-28,263106,Lauren,I had a fabulous and perfect stay at Esteban's place. Esteban and his wife were extremely gracious hosts. The guest house was clean and equip with everything that I needed. It was quiet and within walking distance of great restaurants and coffee shops near Zilker park. A great spot for an Austin getaway! Thank you again Esteban!! 
959270,5025378,2013-06-08,1032257,Claudette,"The guest house was GREAT!! The casita has been slightly re-decorated, and is even cuter than the pictures! Such nice touches of beer in the fridge and welcome flowers! The location is perfect, quiet chill street but only a 5-10 minute walk through the neighborhood to great bars/restaurants/nightlife!! Will definitely send any of my friends who need a place to stay in Austin here!"
959270,5408319,2013-06-28,6443593,Jessica,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
959270,5676171,2013-07-11,5684534,Shea,"Esteban's guest house was perfect for us! Great location, and a lovely place to stay. The guest house felt very large and open from the inside, with its high ceiling and two walls of sliding glass doors. It was simply but lovely decorated. I felt like I could ask Maria and Esteban for anything but didn't need to as everything, including extra bedding, was waiting for us."
959270,6263153,2013-08-05,3217597,Sabrina,We loved Esteban's guest house.  Super cozy and very private. Got a chance to chat with him when we got there and he was very accommodating.  Next time we come to Austin we would love to stay there again.  
959270,6991884,2013-09-02,7836695,Lucy,Guest house was beautiful and Esteban was a friendly and accommodating host. The neighborhood was beautiful as well and very close to the main parts of the city. We had a great time staying here!
959270,7474470,2013-09-21,696640,Eric,"This was a clean, quiet, nicely-appointed guesthouse in a very nice Austin neighborhood.  Esteban was a gracious, helpful host.  My fiance and I had never been to Austin before and this worked out great.  We walked to two different neighborhoods for food and really enjoyed our stay.  Be sure to try the Austin Amber Ale!"
959270,7559257,2013-09-24,4429396,Liz,"I would definitely recommend Esteban's guest house when visiting Austin.  It was tranquil, private and in a nice neighborhood that was convenient to all Austin has to offer.  Air conditioning, ceiling fan and great sheets made for comfortable night's sleep.  Got around by bicycle instead of car easily from this location, and I would recommend that highly for exploring the city from this location, if you're not planning on going too far afield. Esteban and Maria are very nice hosts and very informative.  Austin is a really fun place to visit."
959270,7767936,2013-10-02,1124199,Jessica & Chris,The house was lovely and perfect for our stay. Ideal for a couple and close to everything. Esteban was a great host.
959270,7913960,2013-10-08,7228723,Andrea,"From the moment I arrived, Esteban set the tone with his friendly demeanor and eagerness to make our stay comfortable. He immediately welcomed me and provided me with a tour of the guest house, as well as some advice on what to do in Austin since it was my first time there. The guest house was ADORABLE--like crazy cozy and stylish--as if it was a featured property on an HGTV show. My friend and I felt so safe and comfortable in the house, and even when we needed something (new towels and scissors), it was no problem because Esteban was ready to help at a moment's notice! I would recommend this guest home to anyone, and I hope I have another reason to go to Austin so that I can stay here again!"
959270,8065553,2013-10-14,9164596,Teresa,"My friend and I were in town for ACL and this was the perfect place for us!  The house was conveniently located and extremely comfortable.  We had a quick chat with Maria before we left and she made sure everything was okay during our stay.  She was casual, gracious and extremely warm.  We would highly recommend Maria and Esteban's place to anyone making a trip out to Austin!"
959270,8409555,2013-10-29,316791,Michael,"Esteban's place is awesome!  Great location, super quiet, and even has the option for a fire outside.  Really enjoyed my stay - thanks!"
959270,8570110,2013-11-05,5971821,Lauren,Wonderful little cottage!! Perfect for a weekend stay in Austin. Location is awesome and the setting is serene. Esteban is a great host. We would definitely do it again. 
959270,8655189,2013-11-11,7645024,Nikki,"Esteban, Maria and Olive were fantastic hosts! Their guest house is gorgeous, private and very comfortable. We were able to walk to great restaurants on South Lamar and really enjoyed our stay!"
959270,8811601,2013-11-19,6671340,Aleksei,"My Russian friend and I stayed at Esteban's awesome guest house for the F1 race. We really enjoyed our time and would defintely stay again given the chance. Here are some highlights:

Host: ++ Esteban and his family were welcoming, easy-going, quickly responded to a couple of our requests, but also respected our privacy, a great experience!

Guest House (outside): ++ located in the back of the property, it is secluded, private, cozy, fenced off from the main house and neighbors, with a two-section patio, plenty of space to do a barbecue, savor a glass of somehting tasty and the fresh air :)

Guest House (inside): + very cozy, but also modern and recently remodeled, clean, perfect for a couple, romantic even, plenty of drawer space, a mircowave and a little fridge, comfy bed, nice big shower; - on the small minus side, there was no closet/place to hang clothes, and the sofa was not really suited for sleeping and did not unfold. I think a small TV would be a good addition to the room as well. We were two simple guys, so none of these things were a major issue for us. Esteban loaned us an air pad, which was perfect for sleeping on the floor. But I figure I mention them as a suggestion for improvements :)

Main Yard: + very green, lush vegetation on the yard, feels very natural, you almost forget you are in the city; it was also easy to walk from the driveway to the guest house without disturbing anyone.

Neighborhood: ++great locaton, green, quiet neighborhood, very close to Zilker Park, SoCo and Downtown, awesome if you like to relax and do the city thing on the same trip.

Thank you again, Esteban, for your hospitality! Hopefully, Russia is not drawn into the same World Cup group with Argentina tomorrow :)))"
959270,9002859,2013-12-01,2146580,Megan,"Esteban's back house was wonderful and in an excellent location! Very close to Zilker Park and lots of great restaurants!  We would definitely recommend Esteban's place. Just a note, keep in mind it is very minimal, be sure to bring cups, shampoo, wine opener, all the necessities."
959270,9161100,2013-12-10,1181528,Jane,"The perfect airbnb! 

Esteban and his wife were wonderful hosts-- they made sure we had everything we needed and let us be.

The guest house and outdoor area are beautiful-- well maintained, spacious and great to hangout in. It's in a great neighborhood that's a 15/20 min walk or 5/10 min drive from SoCo or Downtown. In addition you can quickly walk out to great bars and restaurants on Lamar. 

We will be recommending to everyone we know going to Austin!"
959270,9844001,2014-01-13,2695525,Avni,"A very cozy and comfy place nestled in the back surrounded by trees. At first it looks small, but its very spacious and very private. Esteban was very accomodating and laid back with checkin/checkout. "
959270,9969443,2014-01-21,134168,Darita,Our stay with Esteban was wonderful.  The pictures accurately represented the location.  It was very clean.  The neighborhood appeared safe and in a good location.  Esteban and his little pup could not have been more gracious.  We would return.
959270,10073242,2014-01-28,9536777,Steven,"For a first time visitor to Austin, you can't beat the location. Arrived late night on a very cold evening, below freezing temps. and the Guest House was warm and cozy. Nestled in the quite neighborhood of Zilker, we enjoyed our weekend stay very much. Able to come and go without bothering the owners Esteban and Maria, who were gracious host. The large sliding glazed doors on 2 sides open up to a small green courtyard which expands the interior space significantly. When the sun was shining we sat outside with music playing and were in paradise. Can't recommend this guest house more. "
959270,10186686,2014-02-04,4181052,Caro,"I met Maria on my way in and she could not have made me feel more comfortable. The space was exactly right for my working weekend, secluded, quiet, with no TV to distract me. Convenient and close to everything in 78704, it was living in my old neighbourhood again. 

Thanks Esteban and Maria! "
959270,10280664,2014-02-10,3924707,Natalie,This place is so cute! Tastefully updated with lots of charm. The location on S. Lamar is perfect to hop downtown or to the shops on S. Congress. I would definitely stay here again. 
959270,10384330,2014-02-17,10731462,Vianh,"I stayed here over Valentines Day and during the Austin Marathon and it is in a great location- close to a lot of good restaurants. The decorations were cute and quaint, everything was clean when we arrived and we met Maria on the way in who was gracious and nice. We were allowed to park in the driveway which was convenient and could come and go as we pleased at any time."
959270,10595734,2014-02-26,12324021,Sarah,"Fantastic experience! The guest house was exactly as pictured and spotless when we arrived. Esteban's instructions prior to arrival were clear and he was a great host. The bed was extremely comfortable, the guest house spacious and perfect for a couple. The only thing the guest house could use is a place to hang clothes, but a simple clothing rack with a few hangers would do the trick. Loved the location, easy to drive to all the major hotspots in Austin. Would gladly stay here again!"
959270,10899482,2014-03-12,529663,Polly,"The guest house was super cute and quiet, we really enjoyed our stay.  Esteban was extremely helpful and accommodating, and the location was great. I was traveling with a colleague, so our only complaint was there was no door to the bathroom - just a curtain.  A coffeemaker would be a nice touch too.  Would stay again though!  "
959270,10980368,2014-03-16,3600128,Ben,"Esteban's guest house was perfect for my girlfriend and I's stay during SXSW. Close to the action but not right in the middle of it either. The guest house is cozy and situated Esteban's backyard. We found the unit to be very nicely decorated and stocked with everything we needed for our stay. Esteban's communication was wonderful and he made the process very simple and straightforward. His hosting experience was very evident. This place is definitely ideal for a couple - My only word of caution is that bathroom only has a curtain for privacy (not a door). Not a biggie, but just be prepared."
959270,11174986,2014-03-24,11588188,Diana & Zach,"We had a wonderful stay in Austin! the guest house is a gem! it is in an ideal location, close to down town and south congress. The house is very clean and he provides extra clean towels and sheets and offers to change them every day (if you think its necessary) also, he left a couple of beers in the fridge as a welcoming gift!
definitely a great experience !! "
959270,11548524,2014-04-07,875227,Christine,We really enjoyed our weekend stay - it was the perfect place for us! The guest house is cool - very comfortable and spacious and is situated in their lovely back garden. I liked that it maintained everyone's privacy but was welcoming. The neighborhood is great and made it was easy to get around to all the things we wanted to see and do. We met Esteban briefly and he was so friendly and easy going. All of the details and correspondence initially with Esteban made everything effortless. We will definitely stay here again and will be recommending it to our friends!!
959270,11797365,2014-04-15,7387590,Andy,"We have used Airbnb several times in Austin and this is by far our favorite place. The location in Zilker is perfect and near great restaurants and coffee shops on South Lamar and 1st St. The guesthouse in the back is nicely situated and very comfortable, with a great patio. Esteban was the ideal host, helpful and attentive. We'll definitely be back!"
959270,12136339,2014-04-23,2665753,Angel,Esteban is wonderful host and his back house is a delightfully cozy retreat! Close to the action but tucked into a lovely little residential neighborhood. The guest house is situated in backyard but you'll have plenty of privacy thanks to a well placed fence and lots of enjoyable outdoor space in the garden. This hideaway is ideal for a couple. The bed is comfy and the shower is large enough for two. The bathroom was stocked with everything we needed for our stay including sunscreen and there were even some free beers chilling for us in the mini fridge :-)
959270,12338726,2014-04-29,12880733,Ali,"We could not have been happier with our choice to stay at Esteban's and Maria's beautiful guest house. Traveling to Austin for the first time with our 15-month old son, the guest house was the perfect option. It was quiet, comfortable, and peaceful with a gorgeous and lush patio to relax on, but super close to all the places we wanted to check out. We were able to walk to Zilker Park, and were just a very short drive away from so many other neighborhoods. We only saw Maria once but she was lovely as could be and gave us great suggestions on places to check out both in and outside the city.  Overall, a wonderful stay, and we would highly recommend to others. "
959270,12500790,2014-05-04,7858302,Megan,We really enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse ! There was lots of privacy and a beautiful garden to admire. We enjoyed beers that were left for us in the fridge when we arrived and felt completely at home.When we visit Austin again we will stay here!
959270,12764544,2014-05-10,378318,Alexandra And Allan,"Esteban's place is wonderful. The guest house is airy and minimal but totally comfortable. Beautiful! It has it's own very spacious outdoor area surrounded by lovely gardens and a limestone terrace. It is completely private, with easy parking, a lovely walkway. We have stayed here twice and it feels like you are part of the neighborhood. And the neighborhood is ideal-- a short bike to Barton Springs and local restaurants, close to downtown. The best birds in the morning. 
Plus Esteban and Olive (small, terrier-esque) are great hosts. So chill, and helpful if you need anything. "
959270,12948557,2014-05-15,12968185,Cristy,"Esteban's guest house was exactly what we needed for our vacation in Austin. Super clean, spacious and perfectly located for what we wanted to do. We checked in and out on our own and came and went without being disturbed but Esteban made sure to let us know that he was available for anything we might need. The space felt very private and separate from the main house. There were plenty of drawers to fully unpack our belongings and products were provided for the shower but be sure to bring your toothpaste. 

The one thing I would note is that the only thing separating the toilet from the bed is a curtain so be sure to travel with a close friend, or just have them go hang out in the sweet sun if necessary. :) "
959270,13108965,2014-05-19,15237908,Pat,Great place.  Just as it appears in pictures.  Highly recommend.
959270,13764709,2014-06-03,1380170,Ashley,Precious guest house with complete privacy. Perfect location as well! The place was stocked with anything you could need. We had a wonderful stay!
959270,17528800,2014-08-13,873983,Lindsay,"Wonderful little bungalow and in a great part of town.  It was very clean, had lots of privacy, and the fridge was even stocked with some beers which was an added bonus. The whole experience was seamless and we plan to stay here any time we are I'm Austin again. Wonderful find! "
959270,19688909,2014-09-16,16337849,Kate,"We really enjoyed staying at the guest house! Esteban was a great host and the house was gorgeous and exactly as pictured. Completely private, easy to park, and stocked with everything you need (even a couple beers!). We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Austin."
959270,19857310,2014-09-19,5422056,Robbie,Cool place in a unique neighborhood. Great biking and treats within biking distance. 
959270,20849462,2014-10-06,3515972,Marc,This was our first time using Airbnb and Esteban was a great host.  The location was described exactly as is.  We felt like we had enough privacy as needed and the location was clean and well kept.  Esteban was a great host and helped us out during the busy ACL weekend.
959270,21018922,2014-10-09,22057362,Michelle,"Esteban was the ideal host!  Polite, welcoming upon arrival, easy and spot on.  Relaxed environment and THE PERFECT spot for a 3 day visit! Accessible to all, precious garden for an outdoor lunch with a friend, Home details cute, quaint, and not only  accommodating but super tasteful. I felt safe enough to sleep with open doors (screen doors closed) and a glorious ceiling fan. Plenty of reading, writing and thinking with evenings spent out with friends.  Coming and going was no fuss! Home, garden ease of entry / exit couldn't have been more perfect. A kitchenette would have been helpful for definitely not a hindering factor.  If he'll have me, it's MY place to stay when I come to Austin again. Thank you Esteban."
959270,21671338,2014-10-21,21727705,Michelle,"Esteban was a great host and his private bungalow is just as pictured and described!  Beautiful, clean, well appointed, has all the necessities for a short stay and in a nice neighborhood too.  The craft beers in the mini fridge were an added pleasant surprise.  "
959270,22024787,2014-10-28,1838545,Tibora,"Our experience staying at Esteban's guest house was quiet, comfortable, and felt truly like a home away from home. Nestled in a sweet little garden, this guest house is in a perfect location for exploring Austin by foot, bike, Uber, car or train.  Esteban was wonderful! Thank you! "
959270,22198894,2014-11-01,2812736,Tulsi,"The guest house cottage was wonderful and located in the beautiful and central Zilker area. It's a  well designed, spacious, and clean. The space is secluded and private. 

The outdoor seating area was great and I was able to have a few friends over for drinks one fine Austin evening.

Esteban was an excellent host and made sure my stay at his cottage was comfortable. I look forward to staying here on future visits to Austin and highly recommend to others who are visiting. "
959270,22493940,2014-11-08,375074,Kat,"My husband and I needed a centrally located and quiet spot to stay in while house hunting, and this fit the bill perfectly! The coach house is quite far back on the property so there was no street noise, only the occasional train whistle (which I absolutely love to hear!). The bed is Tempurpedic and was very comfortable. Oftentimes when you stay at Airbnbs there are zero toiletries available but this wasn't the case - there were many choices for shampoo, lotions, sunscreen & the like. The only thing to bear in mind is if you are staying as a couple, you may find the lack of proper door (curtain only) on the bathroom a little too close for comfort. It wasn't a problem for us, though. We had no trouble checking in or out (self check-in) and while we didn't have the chance to meet Esteban he was extremely accommodating and ready to help at a moment's notice had we needed it! Would recommend!"
959270,22651717,2014-11-11,21787019,Devin,"We had an amazing journey into Austin, and I have to say Esteban and his awesome guesthouse were a big part of that. The location was extremely central and Esteban went out of his way on multiple occasion to ensure our stay was great. We especially appreciated his tips on what to see and do! Thanks again, Esteban! We hope to be back sooner than later!

-Devin"
959270,23122765,2014-11-23,21336583,James,I travel frequently for work and decided to try a new avenue outside of generic hotel stays. Estaban was very accommodating and made sure that my stay rivaled that of any chain hotel. The guest house is just as pictured and was a wonderful retreat from the daily grind. Any need I had Estaban was quick to help with. When I return to Austin for future trips I will be sure to check the dates of this wonderful place first. 
959270,23277468,2014-11-27,14384914,Love,"Thank you Esteban and Maria for a lovely stay in Austin. It was very easy to come and go and apologies for not being able to say goodbye. You both are wonderful and we hope to visit again!! - cheers, Love & Ben "
959270,23587059,2014-12-05,18747181,Mandeep,Quite residential neighborhood. Nice cottage with all the basic amenities. Had fun.
959270,24092767,2014-12-19,1870232,Helen,"I enjoyed my stay in Esteban's Gorgeous Guest House in Zilker. The place is centrally located yet still quiet and easily accessible. The bed is comfortable, parking is easy and there is no fuss involved around checking in and checking out. I would highly recommend this place and will likely be staying here in the future when I have to travel to Austin for work. "
959270,25319880,2015-01-12,23078692,Sally,This guesthouse is delightful! It was simple & inviting & comfortable. I loved the garden setting just outside the doors. The neighborhood is amazing & very convenient. Thank You!
959270,25609836,2015-01-20,21526242,Simon,"This was only my second experience with Airbnb and it was another major success. Esteban was as warm and welcoming a host as we could have hoped. His guest house is so beautifully cool with a lot of natural lighting and a very comfortable atmosphere.

When I first arrived, he was there to show me around and really made me feel welcome. I had to do some work from his place the first afternoon I was there, and I was totally comfortable doing so. The bed was very comfortable and we had all the amenities we needed for our trip.

The location of the place is pretty perfect. It's a really quiet, residential neighborhood, but not far at all from all the major streets we wanted to hit. We rented a car (Esteban let us use the driveway to park), but there is also a bike rental shop about a 15 minute walk away from their house.

Can't say enough about how pleasant the stay was.

Thank you Esteban!"
959270,25722673,2015-01-24,8713215,Liz,"Estaban was a wonderful host. He was warm, welcoming and very accommodating. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the place was perfect. It's a gorgeous as the pictures show. And... I loved it so much I recommended it to my fiancé who was traveling to Austin the following week.  I would definitely stay here again."
959270,25833307,2015-01-26,6168997,Eric,My and I had a great time staying at Esteban's guesthouse.  We booked at the last minute and he responded very quickly.  The location is great! Very close to many popular destinations in Austin.  The guesthouse itself was very clean and nice and cozy.  We'll definitely stay here again. 
959270,25916462,2015-01-29,23030347,Matt,"Great little spot.  Very clean, private, and quiet.  No hassle in and out.  Never met Esteban but never needed to.  Convenient to my work on E 6th.  Thanks!!"
959270,26232176,2015-02-07,7242633,Nicole,"Esteban was very helpful in advance with a long detailed list outlining anything we may have questions for.  He was very friendly and the place was quite cute .  The guesthouse is very private with a darling garden.  The neighborhood is extremely safe and close to the activities and places we wanted to experience.   There was no tv and when we used the internet passwords, the strength was not strong enough to power Netflix on our iPad.  Also there was not a door to the bathroom but when we shared that , he agreed most folks would prefer that privacy and indicated he would add one.  I would definitely recommend this cottage. "
959270,26489579,2015-02-14,23196381,Paul,"Great Austin space with quick access to bus to downtown, shops and restaurants. Esteban was great to work with and I hope to return some day soon!"
959270,26746476,2015-02-18,6122529,Xiying,"We had a great time in Esteban's cozy, comfortable, and nicely designed cottage! Esteban and Maria are super awesome. They made us feel like home by providing a lot of details. I love love details. For example, they made us a warm welcome note on a lovely black board, and they provided us magazines about Austin. They are super considerate - the welcome note, the magazines, beers, towels, all the lovely decorations, etc., and they made our stay comfortable like home and convenient, clean like a hotel. Also, we arrived at Austin late at night so we didn't have a chance to hang out (at least say hello) to Esteban and Maria. They waited (I think) for us to get up the next morning, gave us a warm welcome and provided us information about Austin. I greatly appreciate how considerate they were, which made our trip more fun and enjoyable :)"
959270,26994318,2015-02-23,450483,Lindy,"We loved staying at Estaban and Maria's guest house! They were super hospitable and we had the pleasure of chatting with them to get all of their Austin recs. Esteban was always quick to respond anytime I reached out. The space is really cute and in a great, safe neighborhood. It's a short drive to everything we wanted to see and walking distance to some great food spots! Would def stay here again!"
959270,27335987,2015-03-02,5220792,Michele,"The host was great and  a perfect location to everything. thank you !
 though it was raining the garden was  still enjoyable and very pretty "
959270,27881250,2015-03-14,17429369,Emily,"The guest house is lovely. It's tucked back in the garden behind Esteban's house, surrounded by patio space. The space is just as pictured--clean and comfortable--though be aware that there is just a curtain dividing the toilet/shower from the sink and rest of the space. There are also helpful little touches like an iron/ironing board, glasses/carafe, bottle opener, and local magazines. 

Esteban was really welcoming--he greeted us, offered to change the towels/take out the trash during our stay, and gave us advice about the area. And the neighborhood is great: quiet and residential but really close to S. Lamar Blvd and Zilker Park. Overall an excellent place to stay!"
959270,28422472,2015-03-23,4463535,Evan,"Esteban was lovely and I would definitely stay again.  He was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful during the length of my stay.  The place was awesome! "
959270,30333610,2015-04-20,2657928,Lisa,Very cute guest house in a prime location. The bed was extremely comfortable and the place was well decorated. Checking in and out was very easy and hassle free. 
959270,30688350,2015-04-26,29462079,Niko,He made us feel very welcome and was open to questions about where we should eat and what things to do. 
959270,31216057,2015-05-03,7743380,Christina,"I have to say the best part about this guesthouse is the location! The neighborhood was great - conveniently located near all of the sites we wanted to take in during our week-long trip to Austin.  The guesthouse was just as pictured, and as mentioned in the description, it is best suited for an individual or a couple based on the open floor plan. Our host Esteban was very hospitable and we felt safe and at home during our stay. "
959270,31959804,2015-05-12,31044413,Julie,"An Oasis in Austin!!
This guest house is so beautiful, peaceful and serene you would hardly know you're in the heart of Austin. Staying here felt like a true getaway. We loved waking up every morning to the scenery and sound of chirping birds. So relaxing and comfy, it felt like home.  

Esteban is the consummate host too - bringing good vibes and respect for your privacy, yet there to help when you need it. We lost our luggage (well the airline did) and was there to receive it when they delivered so we could do what we came to do, enjoy ourselves in Austin! Much gratitude and whole hearted endorsement for the Gorgeous Guest House in Zilker Park!! "
959270,32385656,2015-05-17,217425,Brian,"Esteban's guest house was the perfect space in the perfect location for me and my fiance's getaway. The guest house is walking distance to a number of restaurants & bars (and quite a few great food trucks!). There were cool places to hike nearby and it's just a short ride downtown. It's very private and in a nice residential area so is very quiet at night which was a huge plus!

The guest house is beautiful - looks exactly like the pictures. Very clean. Esteban was a very gracious host! He was very helpful when we had questions and had great recommendations throughout our trip. He answered almost immediately whenever we had questions about certain streets and places to go. "
959270,32899158,2015-05-23,6519812,Stephanie,"The welcome was the best! Esteban met us outside when the cab dropped us off. He carried our bags in and explained the house. The house is in a great neighborhood....my sister and I were in Austin for a wedding and spent the first 5 days exploring the area. Esteban and Maria's little house was an oasis of calm after a very long and grueling flight, The house was perfect for the two of us....quiet yet close to the city.  There are places to have breakfast  and lots of lunch and dinner places within walking distance. Maria, Esteban and Olive couldn't have been nicer or more (email hidden)ey are just great people( and dog).  We would highly recommend this airbnb to anyone visiting Austin. It' s a wonderful and unbelievably friendly city!!"
959270,33368011,2015-05-27,4848784,Giovanna,"Our stay at Esteban and Maria's guest house was the best Airbnb experience we've had so far. And this was in spite of it having coincided with some of the worst storms/flooding having hit the Austin area in a long time!
The house is very cute and it is obvious from all the little personal touches that the owners have put a lot of care and thought into it. Nothing was lacking in terms of amenities (there were even beers in the mini fridge!!). The house's location, in the heart of Zilker, is ideal for anyone wanting to explore the best of what Austin has to offer.
But the best feature, by far, are the wonderful hosts themselves. Esteban and Maria were very welcoming. They went above and beyond the call of duty and were exceptionally accommodating when a booking issue arose due to an oversight on our part. For this reason alone I would recommend their casita to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin."
959270,34081336,2015-06-04,4169227,Drew,I concur with all the other reviews... Very hospitable hosts. Present to meet us and interface and responds to emails with questions. Offers fresh towels and empty trash. Place is private and simple and comfortable. Can't meet the location - close in but in a quite neighborhood. 
959270,34597505,2015-06-09,13232530,Adam,"Esteban's guest house is perfectly situated for the adventurous visit. Well appointed and a short walk from both nature and brunch. Great hosts, hope to stay again soon!"

959270,40978000,2015-08-03,30887255,Kader,"Very welcome, enjoyed the private location in a lovely neighborhood, close to downtown Austin and nearby restaurants."
959270,46783708,2015-09-13,7228277,Antoinette,"My husband and I just enjoyed our few days in Austin at Esteban's guesthouse. With a private walkway, beautiful garden and fence from the main house, we felt comfortable entering and exiting as we pleased. He also let us use the driveway for the stay, so parking was never an issue.  The place is exactly as pictured, with a welcoming note, craft  beers in the mini-fridge and local magazines all a nice touch. Though there was no TV, we were able to stream on our laptops fine enough with Wi-Fi, which was helpful during the couple rainy nights. The patio is cozy, though a bit buggy with mosquitoes (might be the season and storms during our stay - and the mosquitoes unfortunately love me) but the guesthouse was equipped with bug spray, and other toiletries (shampoo, lotion, blow dryer) should you need it. We had some issues at the house and Esteban was quick to respond and address them via message - we always felt he was attentive and looking out for our comfort. The best part is definitely the location in Zilker. Everything we wanted to see, eat or do was easily 5-10 minute drive away. In fact, we ticked off a bunch of Austin's bests all near the neighborhood (ramen, pizza, BBQ) and left with full bellies. "
959270,48272267,2015-09-25,22891087,Heather,Esteban's guesthouse was great! It was as described and clean. Esteban was accommodating and kept in contact with us during our stay. The location was perfect for our vacation!

The place was exactly as described, perfect for two, and super conveniently located near Zilker Park and the South Lamar Alamo Drafthouse and shops. Esteban is also a super welcoming and responsive host. We would definitely love to stay again next year."
959270,49800795,2015-10-06,29126592,Mark And Mea,"Nice experience staying here. Quiet little place behind their house. Quaint little place with just enough room. Convenient to restaurants, markets, Zilker Park and Barton Springs. Hosts were friendly and made recommendations for where to go and where to eat. We were greeted in the room with some fresh flowers, wine and chocolate. Good experience and good location.  Thanks for making our Austin experience a memorable one. "
959270,50615424,2015-10-13,4253235,Leah,"We had a great experience; the bungalow is a great hideaway in a beautiful part of Austin. Excellent place for a couple to stay, very roomy and open with plenty of storage space for your clothing, etc. We could not have asked for better hosts, they were hospitable and helpful with what was around the neighborhood. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!"

When Mother Nature interfered with our travel plans, detaining us for more than 24 hours from our original arrival time, he took special care of us. The guest house was adorable, clean and perfect. This is definitely on our return list for the next time we're visiting Austin!"

Her place was nice, clean, and comfy and pretty close to downtown Austin.  I'd return and recommend it to others.
"
2138579,12383467,2014-04-30,8782832,Gwendolyn,"Enjoyed my stay at Jessica's quiet and comfortable home.  It felt great being ""at home"" versus spending the week at a textbook hotel (if you're lucky).  The ambiance was pleasant and the neighborhood beautiful.  I felt safe and secure and slept like a baby every night.  All the roommates love and praise her, which was very encouraging to me as I didn't meet her upon checking in.  She did however, show up on the day before I was scheduled to leave.  She immediately greeted me with firm handshake and a beautiful smile.  Thank you Jessica for making my stay memorable and for making me feel so welcomed.  Hope I was a good guest...although I forgot the butter in fridge..o_O....Oops!"

2138579,33723875,2015-05-31,23188458,Jo,"The best host on Airbnb I have met so far! Very tidy, friendly, welcoming, and extremely accommodating. Id say he is like an extended Uncle! 

There are 4 gentleman who live in the house including John. All of whom I have befriended and are very respectful. I've had wonderful dinners with them, one of which was a home made Mexican meal John had made himself! 

The location is close to downtown and in a safe area. I was invited in with a quick tour of the house, assistance with moving my stuff in, and places to dine/visit. John makes an excellent Airbnb host and friend!

Thanks for a pleasant experience and I wish you well!"

It was my first time in the US and John made it great. His place is really nice and quiet, very welcoming and close to downtown. John also came pick me up at the airport, that was super nice of him. At all time, he made sure I was feeling home at his place, asking me if everything was ok, if the room was nice,etc...He also gave me really nice and cool tips about Austin and all the things you have to experience there during your stay. I definitely recommend John at anyone looking for a nice place to stay in Austin. Thank again for everything John ! "
2138579,50419926,2015-10-11,46021177,Christopher,John was a fantastic host!  His communication to set the reservation was prompt and his description of his space was accurate.  He keeps his home very tidy as well.  This was a pleasant experience and I would not hesitate to stay here again!

381240,10921721,2014-03-13,11729366,Gina,"Susan has a lovely home in Austin and was an amazing host. From the moment we arrived, she was welcoming and generous. It’s clear that she takes great pride in her home and has made it an incredibly comfortable sanctuary. The location is quite convenient, with a great selection of nearby restaurants and shops. We were also able to walk to the river or downtown. We were visiting for business and Susan’s home was the perfect balance of convenience and comfort. I would highly recommend her home to anyone visiting Austin"
4596762,29373705,2015-04-06,18984520,Anneleise,"Although I never got to meet Laurie in person, setting up our stay was incredibly easy and she was fast at communicating throughout the stay. My parents stayed at her apartment and felt absolutely welcomed, as Laurie went above and beyond in providing everything from a map of her neighborhood to snacks and travel toiletries. Her apartment was incredibly clean and the location is great. Many restaurants, shopping centers, cafes, and grocery stores are within walking distance. My only complaint would be that her wifi was not functioning when my parents arrived. While she did provide access to an ethernet cord, which was great for our laptop, the connection did not allow internet access from our phones or iPads. "
4596762,31484429,2015-05-05,6761234,J.,"I'm so glad I stayed at Laurie's place. It was extremely clean and tidy - and the small apartment was cozy for me and my 11 year old son. I never met Laurie, but she was just a text away whenever I needed something. The apartment is located in the quickly developing South Austin. It is near *everything*. Within walking distance you'll find, restaurants, bars, grocery stores, target, starbucks, convenient stores.  I have to say that the pictures of the apartment don't do it justice. It looked much better, and it had everything we needed. Laurie left us toiletries, coffee/tea, first aid kid, and a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.  I would definitely stay there again if I can."
4596762,52186337,2015-10-26,45477596,Obdulia,This was my first time using AirBnB and I have to say it was a really great experience. Laurie was very responsive and the apartment was super clean and cozy. I would definitely recommend others to stay here. Her apartment was really easy to find with the directions she left. She also provided clean towels and travel side amenities for us. I give her place 5/5 :)

It is at a prime location right off of Blue Bonnet and South Lamar, and the Blue Bonnet bazaar was very interesting. Since this was a SXSW trip everything worked out really well. Cathy's house did have a lot of personal touches, but it was very quaint so if you don't mind seeing other people's photos and knowing you are literally in someone else's living space, or if you can  get past it, it is totally worth it.

The sheets were clean, the pillows were great, the bathroom was perfect, and the apartment was exactly how it looked online. The skyline was beautiful and her place is in walking distance of some sick bites.

Couldn't have asked for a better host or accommodation."

4966926,28136295,2015-03-18,984567,Karen,"Jeremiah's place was great and he made sure we had all the details for our visit. Being close to Downtown, yet far enough away to escape the crowds and noise each night! Would definitely recommend staying here. It was great to have 2 separate bedrooms for me and my colleague. Great place!!"
4966926,28824142,2015-03-30,1559496,Pj,"Jeremiah was a great host.  He was amazing at communicating before, during and after my visit.  He made sure that I had everything I needed.  The apartment was spotless and full of great amenities, swimming, tennis, etc.  I loved the location because it was right off the highway and easy to get to South Congress, Rainey Street and downtown.  My stay at Jeremiah's was flawless and a great experience.  It made my Austin stay an awesome experience. Thanks for everything Jerry."
4966926,29132787,2015-04-04,12060577,Colleen,We had a wonderful stay. Jerry checked in with us often. The condo was very comfortable and clean.  Our daughter used the pool. Neighborhood felt safe and convenient to expressway and local restaurants. Our stay couldn't have been better. 
4966926,29345193,2015-04-06,30074218,Lisa,"I absolutely loved this condo! It was as pretty as the pictures described if not more. It made us feel right at home! It was a great location and Jeremiah was vey friendly, and prompt with emails providing us with any information we needed.  He even left us a binder with everything we needed to know about the condo and Austin. :) I will definitely be back to Jeremiah's place! His condo and hospitality made for a perfect weekend in Austin! "
4966926,29847394,2015-04-13,29161740,Dave,"Very clean place, had zero negative issues whatsoever. Jeremiah was more than helpful and checked in with us to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, I would highly recommend this condo! "
4966926,30260043,2015-04-19,1787115,Jena,"Jeremiah's place was perfect for our short stay in Austin. It was really close to everything and it was easy to get around. The place was very clean and comfortable. Jeremiah was available if we needed him for anything, prompt in responding and gave very accurate instructions for arrival and departure."
4966926,30313417,2015-04-20,23169750,Robike,Great experience...all was exactly as described...wish we could have stayed longer!! Great apt...
4966926,30656540,2015-04-25,31431084,Eric,"The condo was exactly as described. Comfortable and cozy, very affordable and close in to south Austin hotspots. A great host and a great value!"
4966926,30786059,2015-04-27,6026962,Rachel,"Jeremiah's place was neat, clean, and comfortable. The location was convenient, as was obtaining access to the condo itself. Jeremiah went above and beyond with communication prior to, during, and after our stay. I would highly recommended his condo to those visiting Austin!"
4966926,31342587,2015-05-04,22977705,Thomas,"Had a great time staying in Jeremiah's condo! Was very clean and had everything needed to have a comfy stay. As described it is definitely located to all the fun things to do in Austin. As for my host, Jeremiah was completely helpful. Good communication ensured my family and I had a seamless stay. I highly recommend staying! "
4966926,31479963,2015-05-05,2025149,Haran,"The apartment was great and exactly as described, located in a nice and quiet subdivision right off the highway. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, to the point that I really want to ask Jeremiah what mattress topper he uses so I can buy one for my bed at home! It was also very convenient that the apartment had two bathrooms. Jeremiah was a very gracious and responsive host, and let us know about different places we could check out in the area. Would highly recommend the place, and would stay again if revisiting Austin in the future!"
4966926,31734260,2015-05-09,3466747,Daniel,"Excellent stay. Very clean, everything perfect. 5 stars."
4966926,31851178,2015-05-10,5145539,Patrick,"My wife and I live near Austin and visit a lot. We've had lots of AirBnBs in Austin and are pretty familiar with the good, bad, and ugly in the area. This time around, we had a friend with us and needed two rooms. Jeremiah's place was pretty much the best I've seen in Austin with regard to this requirement. VERY spacious and plenty of room to get some privacy from other guests. No ""one bed and a comfy couch"" business here. Two full-sized bedrooms with quality beds (another rarity as far as AirBnBs go). A very competitive price, too.

The only knock, and it's a slight one, is location. The place is actually very close to places you might want to visit (S. Congress, 6th street, etc.), but you do need to get across I-35. A 5 minute drive. Not a big deal for us, as we had a car, but if you are militant about walking and not taking the occasional cab or Uber, you probably want to inch a bit closer. IMO, Austin is a sprawling city, and it's hard to see the best stuff only on foot. The real suggestion would be to modify your travel plans to not be limited to only foot travel.

More good stuff to complete the compliment sandwich: Jeremiah's place is *immaculate.* Very, very clean with any toiletries you might expect. Again, things that are commonly neglected in AirBnBs. He also left the cupboard full of refreshments and accoutrements (coffee, water, beer, extra towels, etc.) which was really thoughtful. We had great communication leading up to the trip, and he was very invested in ensuring we had a great time in Austin. Easy, flexible, and relaxed checkout. Highly recommended."
4966926,32118342,2015-05-14,23070137,Naveen,Jeremiah made it very easy for me with detailed instructions and well maintained house. The house was clean and extremely well taken care of inside. It was better than on the photos and it enabled for a pleasant stay.
4966926,32628897,2015-05-19,30734643,Joel,Great condo.  Even better than described.  The host was very prompt and friendly to work with.  
4966926,32732565,2015-05-20,28116098,Violet,"Jeremiah responded promptly and was very easy to communicate with. He was also very kind and helpful! The condo was cool, clean, and tidy! Great location as it was close to downtown. Everything was great!"
4966926,33258994,2015-05-26,30920470,Jennifer,"Although we didn't meet Jeremiah, he was with us every step of the way!  Gave us great advice on places to visit while in Austin, checking in to make sure we didn't have any extra needs, and giving us a fabulous place to stay.  This 2BR/2BA condo is very clean, nicely decorated, kitchen has everything you need -- you even get a garage to park in!  So close to everything in Austin.  It was very quiet, never even saw the neighbors -- great place to stay and will definitely stay again!"
4966926,33459066,2015-05-28,4071102,Dongqing,"The condo was very clean and tidy. A private garage was included. Everything in the condo was in perfect condition. Overall, a very nice experience. "

4966926,34491751,2015-06-08,34397924,Paula,"Jeremiah is great, and the place we rented was great as well. The location was just minutes from downtown. Easy to get to, the rooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable. Jeremiah, stayed in touch the entire time prior to our visit and he communicated promptly and graciously. We definitely will be back! :)"
4966926,35854583,2015-06-22,14863300,Gary,"Jeremiah's condo is conveniently located in South Austin. It was absolutely immaculate, and quiet. Having a garage was a added benefit. Jeremiah was a great host, checking on us several times before we arrived and after we got there. We will definitely use his place again next time we visit Austin."
4966926,36339447,2015-06-27,11784264,Jill,Nice condo with pool access. Very clean. Ideal location!  Close to South Congress but far enough away for quite relaxation!
4966926,36723665,2015-06-30,5310776,Molly,"Jeremiah was so prompt and friendly, and his condo was perfect for our little double date trip to Austin. It was very clean and had everything we needed. He went above and beyond and provided us extra towels for trip swimming trip! We are very pleased. "
4966926,37305102,2015-07-06,31683933,Claudia,"I stayed at this condo over the 4th of July weekend and it could not have been more perfect. It felt like it was close to everything and Jeremiah was super easy to get in touch with if we needed anything. He worked with us on the check in/out times based on when our flight times were, which was AMAZING! The beds were so comfortable, so I was able to sleep like a baby after being at Willie Nelson's picnic all day Saturday! I would recommend this unit to anyone heading to Austin. "
4966926,37803220,2015-07-10,20727320,Susannah,Jeremiah did a great job at making us feel welcome! The apt. was very clean and as described in the listing. 
4966926,38128690,2015-07-13,33654733,Carter,"Jeremiah's condo was perfect for our long weekend vacation in Austin.  Located just a few miles south of downtown, the condo provided a nice place to relax in between activities but still be close enough to get anywhere in Austin within 10 minutes.  

The condo itself was excellent.  It was spacious, up-to-date, and came with everything we needed for our experience.  The garage for our car was a perk that proved really useful.  Jeremiah did a great job communicating with me throughout my stay, and made sure that we were taken care of with any questions."
4966926,38998815,2015-07-20,26528973,Gina,"Me and my family had an amazing stay at the condo! Jeremiah was the perfect host and communicated with me the whole stay, as well as, before our trip. I would absolutely recommend staying at this condo and hope to visit and stay again soon!  "
4966926,39835564,2015-07-26,23289806,Stella,The host was nice and communication was great.  There was a nice binder of information at the apt and Jeremiah sent an email with all the necessary information we neede for a nice stay.  The neighborhood was nice too. Jeremiah was very accomodating And had recommended some good places to eat and visit.  It was a very good experience!
4966926,41067473,2015-08-04,18107753,Cathy,Loved this condo and Jeremiah!  It was very clean and met all our expectations.  Included pool towels and a few toiletries.  We were in town for our son's wedding and even used the condo for a bridal brunch.  Jeremiah is very attentive and checked in with us several times to see if we needed anything. He even recommended the place we used for the rehearsal dinner.  The location is spot on — easy and a short distance to get to airport and downtown.  Jeremiah's suggestion for alternate routes to downtown was also helpful.   Don't hesitate to stay here!  The pool is not so great but Barton Springs is close!
4966926,41611279,2015-08-08,35420321,Amy,"Our host was very nice and incredibly informative. I asked if he had suggestions for live music or other fun activities, and he sent numerous suggestions- much more than I expected.  The place was very clean and well-stocked with everything- toiletries, dishes, AND wifi.  He even left us extra beach towels for a trip to the springs.  It is in a good location not far from South Congress and only a few minutes from downtown. I would definitely stay here again and highly suggest this to others!"
4966926,43112293,2015-08-17,38747220,Dan,"The place was super clean and tidy. It was charming and very tastefully decorated. The bathrooms and kitchen are fantastic, and the location is in a perfect location for touring around Austin. Jeremiah is a wonderful host and went out of his way to make us feel welcome and at home, we are so grateful to have him as a host and we never even saw him! That good!! Definitely recommended! "
4966926,43620855,2015-08-21,20214897,Tad,"Everything is wonderful in Jeremiah's lovely two bedrooms. Super clean, modern and comfortable. It has everything you need for. Truly home away from home. Will come back again.  "
4966926,44158750,2015-08-24,39085139,Louie,Jeremiah made our first experience with AirBnB a huge success! Jeremiah was very accomodating and incredibly prompt with any questions we had. Our experience couldn' have been better!
4966926,45402704,2015-09-02,40539031,Mj,Jeremiah was more than welcoming and very accommodating. Any complaints or inquiries were followed up on promptly/answered quickly. The beds are sized for couple sharing - just something to keep in mind. Other than that the condo made for a very quaint vacation stay.
4966926,45939692,2015-09-07,31517224,Kerri,"We loved this condo! The host made it warm and inviting by providing wine in the fridge, coffee in the freezer, swim towels available for or use and so much more!! We felt incredibly well taken care of the whole time. Before we even arrived, the host gave us detailed instructions on how to find and access his place. He also provided us with fun ideas of what to do around Austin. He even went as far as to offer us a ride to the airport!!! (Which we didn't need bc we had rented a car.) Overall we were very satisfied with our stay. "
4966926,46582855,2015-09-12,10867475,Amy,"Jeremiah (Jerry) was great! His condo was perfect for the 4 of us and impeccable. We had plenty of privacy since the bedrooms were far apart, yet a comfortable area to hang out in the living room. Everything was clean and Jerry had all the necessities needed to make us feel at home. I would not hesitate to stay here while in Austin again. We were also close to downtown and everywhere else we wanted to go. Jerry was a great host and periodically messaged me to make sure we were comfortable. Thanks for everything!!"
4966926,47669087,2015-09-21,19863488,Theresa,Jeremiah was awesome. He made sure we found the place ok and have us great recommendations go fun places to go! 
4966926,47702040,2015-09-21,6530770,Christian,Jerry prepared everything for a seamless check-in and check-out. His instructions were clear and concise. The condo is furnished simply and a perfect place to crash in Austin just outside of downtown. 
4966926,48677994,2015-09-28,24936040,John,"Jeremiah was awesome. Because our daughter was getting married  that weekend, we needed to change plans at a moments notice, and Jeremiah was totally easy going with this. The apartment was much nicer than the (website hidden) and wine was waiting for us, and the location and garage were very important to our weekend. Great host! Great apartment! Great location! Sums it up."
4966926,50434618,2015-10-12,36663783,Victoria,"Jeremiah was great, he made sure we arrived without any issues. The place was in a great location and was exactly like the pictures. Having a garage was also a plus. We enjoyed our weekend stay."

Beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen was nice and big. Having easy access to the car from the garage was also a big plus. Great place, good locale, good price.  "
4966926,51282383,2015-10-19,41317955,Kathleen,"Jeremiahs place was perfect! My husband and I were in Austin for a wedding and because hotel prices were so expensive we wanted to all stay together. The place was PERFECT! Clean and lovely 2 bedroom 2 bath. We chose not to rent a car so we used uber the entire time. It was never a bad uber ride downtown, to soco, to the capital or to the wedding itself. Jeremiah also was so welcoming and helpful whether it was providing suggested grocery stores, restaurants or activities he also gave us a heads up of possible events and made sure we found it ok when we got in. This was my first airbnb experience and Jeremiah has set the bar so high! I would 100% recommend his place to someone looking for a nice low key place in Austin! Thanks again Jeremiah for everything you made our experience EXCELLENT!!"
4966926,52043257,2015-10-26,25348519,Diana,Our host was very helpful contacting us by text and answering queries that we had about the area . The condo was just as described and in a very quiet neighborhood. There are plenty of good places to eat a short drive away but close enough to walk if you prefer .
4966926,52878123,2015-11-02,6155613,Alicia,"Jeremiah was beyond hospitable and helpful and we would definitely stay here again.  With the crazy weather my friends and I almost had to cancel at the last minute (fortunately we didn't).  Jeremiah was kind enough to let us know of the weather conditions, he also drove downtown to check on out the roads for us.  He made sure we had everything we needed and were comfortably situated at the condo as well.  The space itself was really nice, you could tell it had been renovated.  The bathroom was very nice and there was plenty of space for 4 grown women with crazy costumes to get ready without being in each others way.  "
3551798,21279178,2014-10-14,6622119,Marina,"Loved this townhouse. It was perfectly clean, fresh and modern. Just as pictures. Great location, 10 minutes from everything. Thanks Erica and team!"
3551798,26168453,2015-02-05,22218554,Debby,"The townhouse was EXACTLY as pictured on the inside - being even more lovely than described. The TurnKey team was exceptional about all communication. Every part of our check in and checkout was simple and without a hitch. Perfect in cleanliness and a very nice floor plan with new and comfortable furniture. Truly an exceptional home!!
I do feel I need to say just a couple of things that were not mentioned in regards to location. It is a perfect location for easy access to entertainment and food. Easily walkable. However, the property does sit directly next to the freeway and is on a busy access street to the on ramp. At first sight I was surprised that the front curbside was not as pictured. It does not show that the freeway is directly outside the front windows as well as a train track ... which was often very loud day and night. This made it difficult to use the outdoor enclosed patio that was very very lovely however. I must say that being inside the house you didn't hear much of the traffic noise, but there is no way you would open a window at anytime day or night without hearing the noise. The train on the other hand, was very loud both inside and outside. I feel the freeway and train noise should be mentioned because the advert makes the property seem like a tranquil and quiet location. Thankfully for us, it was not. I was a bit nervous it would be too quiet. On a more positive note, I would like to mention that the parking is excellent and safe ... and that the upstairs neighbor with two small dogs was absolutely lovely!
All in all, I would absolutely recommend this property over and over again to anyone who wants a gorgeous place to stay and doesn't mind the noise. I attend events in Austin every year and will definitely try to stay here on a regular basis when we are in town. Well worth it!

Thank you~ : ) "
3551798,27838979,2015-03-13,21375158,Wesley,"Went for SXSWedu and the house worked out very well. Check-in was very easy, the house was very clean and just as described. We had 5 people stay for 4 nights and it was still very comfortable. The location was convenient to downtown, convention center, etc."
3551798,33260034,2015-05-26,16355943,Drue,"We had a very pleasant stay at Erica's home. The place looks just like the pictures, gorgeous furnishings and comfortable rooms. The location is great, walkable to plenty of bars and restaurants and only a short uber from the more trendy places like 6th and Rainey. The only drawback was the train tracks which were across the street, but this helped us get up early to seize the day! Thank you Erica for the great stay."
3551798,34616787,2015-06-09,10702696,Adi,The host canceled this reservation 115 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
3551798,45119437,2015-08-31,13579081,Carter,The place was perfect and even better than described on the commentary and pictures. Perfect for a getaway with a small group. Great location as well.
3551798,50562685,2015-10-12,22242732,Jess,"Excellent location for what we were there for. We came for ACL, it is right next to the park ! We will definitely use it again if it's available next year! Awesome home too!! Very clean and quite roomy. Fit us greatly. The upstairs neighbor is a really cool person. We gave her our number just in case she needed to speak with us and she never called or texted. But she's a very calm and chill person. People here complained about a train and the highway out front.. That's ridiculous. From the bedrooms you do not hear any of that. Plus it's not even noisy in the first place lol. Anyway, excellent place with a cool vibe and it's equidistant from the fun party vibes of 6th street and the cool nature of zilker park and Barton springs. Will absolutely stay there again :)"
3551798,51069930,2015-10-17,44852621,Simon,Very Good location and not too far out of town and a bar opposite which is always a winner! The apartment was immaculate and well appointed. I would visit again.
209235,746504,2011-11-27,1313798,Shelby,We had a fantastic visit to Austin.  Cathryn's place is perfectly located and she is a great host.  Thanks for taking the time to make sure our stay was perfect.  Definitely will be using her again!
209235,998685,2012-03-14,1432632,Benjamin,Cathryn's place was a comfortable delight.  We all really enjoyed staying there.  Getting into downtown was an easy bus ride away and it's also walkable to some cool places on South Lamar.  We wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.
209235,1022339,2012-03-20,135478,Sinead,"From the very first contact I had with Cath, I knew her place was going to be perfect for me and my friends. She is incredibly receptive and accommodating and we could not have had a better host. 

Her apartment is really beautiful and clean and is in a safe neighbourhood within walking distance of all the coolest bars. I will note that it could take an hour to walk across the river but, for us, that only added to the fun - it's was amazing what we found along the way! Cath has a cleaner come in before all guests so the place was spotless and the beds were all really roomy and so comfortable. 

Our group was there for SXSW so with 6 girls getting ready each morning, the two huge bathrooms were a treat! Unfortunately (or not!), we spent most of each day checking out bands for the festival so we didn't get a chance to use the pool but we did have breakfast there in the mornings and it was a really peaceful place to sit and relax. I can also recommend the nearby ""La Boite"" cafe for the best croissants! 

One particular highlight of Cath's apartment - getting out of our car after 6 days on the road to find that she had left us cold beers, wine and cheese! Now that is the perfect host! Thank you so much to her for that and we apologise that we partied too hard to have the time to replace it all! 

All in all, I really cannot fault Cath or her apartment and I have to say that some of us have already planned our trip back to SXSW next year! Hopefully she will be hosting again....

Thanks again for everything. "
209235,2179765,2012-09-03,2839385,Jessica,"Cathryn was an amazing host. We arrived to a relaxing retreat that was very clean and comfortable. There were alot of little details that made our stay special. She provided beverages, snacks, and organic soaps just for us. Her location is the perfect distance to all the action on Congress & downtown Austin. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we're in Austin!"
209235,2611012,2012-10-15,130353,Evelyn,"Cathy was an amazing host! She was so warm and inviting and her  apartment was gorgeous. Her apartment is gated so you feel safe, and her home just has beautiful style in general. She put out a queen size air bed since we needed a 3rd bedroom and even that was high quality.

The location of her home is perfect. My friends and I walked to ACL (~1 mile) and it was way more convenient than driving or getting dropped off.

Most importantly, the home was located close to everything eclectic about Austin, which was important to me since I had all out-of-town guests. We went to the trailer parks on S. 1st Street, restaurants on South Lamar, and showed them South Congress.

Close to Whole Foods and HeB if you want to stock up on groceries for your weekend as well."
209235,3807444,2013-03-17,5139135,Sinclair,"Cathryn was a fantastic host, and her house is absolutely beautiful.  We would 100% recommend staying here to anyone visiting Austin."
209235,10881126,2014-03-11,11902208,Nick,"Cathryn was a fantastic host; she helped coordinate a crazy travel schedule when we visited during SXSW and was always available when we needed anything.

The place itself is incredible and when we arrived it was spotless. I'd absolutely recommend Cathryn and her accommodations to anyone visiting Austin."
209235,10981349,2014-03-16,11978946,Chris,"Cathryn was fantastic leading up to our stay, and her place was phenomenal! Extremely clean and comfortable, and amazing location. We couldn't have picked a better place for our time in Austin, or a better person to work with. We highly recommend Cathryn's place to anyone looking to spend time in Austin. "
209235,19948733,2014-09-21,7608905,Veronica,"We were on a girls trip. We wanted a cozy location with a pool. Cathryn was a terrific hostess. Her place is cozy, comfortable, lovely.  She went out of her way to make our stay perfect."
209235,20822535,2014-10-06,10789244,Allison,"Cathryn's was a fantastic host. Her warmth and enthusiasm was reflected in her charming condo, which was cozy, stylish, and very comfortable, full of interesting decor from around the world. We appreciated her timely responses to our questions prior to our visit and all of her recommendations for local restaurants and attractions--all of the ones we had a chance to visit were great! We were here for Austin City Limits, and her place was about 2 miles away from the park, which was walking distance for us. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!"
209235,21516112,2014-10-19,20692702,Jaimee,Cathryn was the perfect host.  Her place was amazing and absolutely clean.  She even got us food goodies and groceries to make us feel at home.  She provided fresh linens and toiletries for us! Our stay was amazing! Cathryn is a gem.
209235,50646693,2015-10-13,7959279,Karen,"Cathryn's home was lovely, clean and accessable to a large variety of eats and drinks within walking distance.  My flight arrived in the morning and well before check in time, however, I was able to drop off my bag and was given many great ideas to check out in the mean time.  Beds were very comfortable and having two baths was wonderful as we had several girls getting ready.  Another plus - cold beer in the fridge and other wonderful munchies for our use.  The walk to Zilker Park for ACL was about 2 miles but not at all difficult.  Thank you Cathryn for your sharing your home with us :)  "
209235,51889985,2015-10-25,35731216,Ross,"We had an excellent weekend in Austin, slightly dampened by the weather, but obviously nothing Cathryn could do about that. The apartment was fantastic and Cathryn left us wine, beer and breakfast. The location was great with only a short trip downtown. I would definitely recommend staying there if the opportunity arises. "
7473936,50624509,2015-10-13,36486784,Adam,"I was greeted by Jay's roommate to obtain the key and they were very accommodating to my time of arrival. The location is in a great location across the street from a Taco Deli and a small convenience store so finding food and additional travel supplies was easy! The neighbors were quiet and the apartment was very well decorated. They left out towels and was very clear on where everything we might need was located. They even stocked the fridge with some drinks as a welcoming gift! For ACL specifically, it was a quick 30 minute walk up and down a few hills to get to the festival grounds which saved us at least a hundred dollars or more on taxis/Uber rides. Moses the house cat is a loving host and is the most affectionate cat I've ever met. This location is a bus ride or car hop away from downtown, but I would highly recommend staying here for future events in Zilker Park."
8061794,48820288,2015-09-28,44329669,Anna,"I felt so comfortable and at home here!  Julia and her husband Kyle are such cool humans!  They really made an effort to make sure I enjoyed my free time in Austin. I already had a lot on my schedule but they gave me some great suggestions of things to do and even invited me to come out with them as well!  Julia and Kyle were very thoughtful, welcomed me to anything in the fridge and even had extra commonly-forgotten travel items in case i needed anything!  I was so grateful that they allowed me to send mail to their address during my stay as well.  I would definitely like to stay here again if I am ever in Austin again.  The only thing I  would do differently next time would be to stay a little longer!

ALSO, the chickens are soooo awesome and friendly!!  It was great to just relax in the hammock and hang with them in the backyard :) 

Thank you so much, Julia and Kyle!!"
8061794,50576033,2015-10-12,21823342,April,"Julia and Kyle were wonderful, warm hosts. We had the pleasure of not only staying in their home, but getting to hang out with them for brunch at the end of our trip. Their home is adorable and the accommodations were exactly what we needed. The house is located in a really interesting part of town and we were able to navigate easily to downtown on our bikes. My favorite part was getting to meet their 3 chickens!"
6922653,38938862,2015-07-19,27065375,Jason,"Great location. Really nice home with modern bathrooms, kitchen.

The owner was great too and very easy to communicate with.

Would stay again"
6922653,41836426,2015-08-09,3425997,Sarah,"Wonderful stay! A small group of friends and I stayed for a weekend, and we're already planning another chance to book it. The design of the house is spectacular and we loved all of the small touches provided by the hostess to make us feel welcome. The house is nestled in a quiet, trendy neighborhood of South Austin, yet close enough to the city's central attractions to satisfy out-of-towners."
6922653,42919989,2015-08-16,16252784,Amanda,"This house was amazing.  Plenty of room for 10 people and the location is perfect.  10 min from downtown Austin can't be beat.  Eden was a fantastic host.  She provided snacks, wine, plenty of towels, and communication with her was very easy.  The early check in and late check out was a plus too!  Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!  "
6922653,43688224,2015-08-21,3246341,Eric,When we arrived she had chips and dip ready to go! Everything was walk in ready. The listing was just like you see on the listing minus the room that was not pictured. But it was just as she described it via email. 
6922653,45804698,2015-09-06,4478669,Marlene,"Great space in ATX. Clean home, wonderful host. We were under a pinch to leave after the typical noon checkout due to air travel but our host was more than accommodating. I would definitely recommend this space to anyone traveling to austin. The thing that could have been better is access to the backyard. It was under renovations when we were in town. Otherwise ... Great space. "
6922653,47743505,2015-09-21,30471172,Shelby,Eden is a great host. We loved staying in her house and it was the perfect location! 
6922653,48512932,2015-09-27,33776018,David,"The house was great, new, modern and very clean.  It was a nice touch to have a welcome drink and snack when we arrived.  The house is brand new and the back yard is still a work in progress but looks like it will be nice.  The house location is very convenient to the Austin area attractions.  The neighborhood is quiet.  We had a very good experience and I  would recommend it to everyone."
6922653,49443797,2015-10-04,40239526,Steve, This is a very nice home and made the stay in Austin for ACL enjoyable.  
6922653,50479108,2015-10-12,43309808,Andrew,"Eden did a great job making us feel welcome in advance of arriving. Great proactive communication and extremely responsive to questions I sent her way. House was exactly as described (actually better than the pictures), and we had a great time. House was perfct"
6922653,51887869,2015-10-25,296272,Juan P,Eden was a great host! House was lovely and clean! 
4047192,23250361,2014-11-26,21928437,Desiree,"This house is an incredible, beautiful and spacious place! Everything was just as explained and pictured if not better. The location is in a quiet and safe neighborhood and many amenities are around such as  restaurants and local groceries. It is also close to downtown 6th street (10-15 mins drive). 
Ann is a lovely person and great host who is very responsive and helpful in any situation. 
We have stayed at the place as a couple but it can easily host 2 couples as there is a second bedroom. We highly recommend this rental to anyone who wants an entire beautiful house for themselves in a lovely neighborhood close to downtown."
4047192,24350679,2014-12-26,2654690,Kristen,"Jessica responded quickly, even to a last-minute request, and was very friendly.  I appreciated the guide she left to local restaurants and things to do.  The house was cute and on a very nice street.  It was decorated in an adorable style and with a nice period feel."
4047192,24761179,2015-01-02,24661039,Regina,"This house was perfect for our family of three. We loved having an extra room for our son to sleep in, rather than tiptoe-ing around a hotel room every night after he went to bed. Ann thoughtfully provided a high chair and crib and customized recommendations for things to do in Austin with an infant in tow. We would definitely go back!"
4047192,27989945,2015-03-16,11016806,Stephanie,"The cozy cottage is just as charming and cozy as in the pictures – or maybe a little bit better even! The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet, and at the same time located perfectly central, especially for anyone who has dealings with the university which is in easy walking/bicycling/bus ride distance. Me and my friend have been staying here for two months, using both the bedrooms, and found it perfectly comfortable for two. We especially enjoyed the porch and garden, the latter of which we shared with a terrific neighbor and occasionally other airbnb guests from a little house in the back. The interior of the house is decorated beautifully, and you will find everything you need to feel at home during a longer stay. The only thing that took me a while to get used to is the heating which I found a bit tricky to regulate, but this may be due to the fact that American heating systems differ from German ones. Sometimes little things needed fixing during our stay, but Ann's reaction was always prompt, and her husband Scott took care of it immediately. All in all – staying here was a wonderful experience! "
4047192,28377832,2015-03-23,6952633,Sarah,"Amazing house, located on a nice, quiet, safe street.
We stayed in Ann's house for a week during sxsw and absolutely loved it, the interior of the house is really beautiful and tastefully decorated. It's really easy to get downtown, about a 40 minute walk or 5 minutes in a cab.
Ann was a great host, answering any questions promptly and was incredibly accommodating.  
Would highly recommend."
4047192,28832494,2015-03-30,6819155,Maria,"La casita estaba en perfectas condiciones, limpia, muy agradable, ordenada y bien equipada. El barrio es tranquilo y a 10 m. del centro. Las fotos muestran muy bien lo acogedora que es la casa. No conocimos a Ann personalmente pero estuvo siempre muy pendiente y respondio nuestros mensajes al instante. "
4047192,29924618,2015-04-14,14630996,Jim,"Very close to the University...walking distance!
My wife, two boys and I enjoyed our stay."
4047192,31228541,2015-05-03,776768,Sarah,"The cozy cottage in Hyde Park was a wonderful experience! We were in town with our daughter to locate an apartment for her in the fall and this was the perfect location to launch our search from. Hyde Park is a quiet neighborhood with dense mixed housing - many of the homes are quite lovely. Light filter through pecan trees, doves coo, music wafts through the bamboo. The cottage was quite nice, both in terms of its space, quality of facilities and aesthetics. Really better than staying at the Hotel San Jose! We met both Ann and Scott, who were very helpful and informative about Hyde Park real estate, etc. With our daughter in grad school at UT next fall, this will be the place we stay next time we visit! HIGHLY recommended. "
4047192,38604949,2015-07-17,33168332,Annie,"I came to Austin to work at the university for the summer, and picked this house because it was a convenient, one mile-walk away, and in a quiet residential area with lots of trees. The house is just as adorable as the photos show—full of character, and with little design touches that made me appreciate not staying in a generic hotel.

This was my first Airbnb experience, and Ann was the perfect host. She responded immediately and patiently to my questions, and was more than hospitable. To make things even more easy, Ann offered to lend me a bicycle and lock for the duration of my stay. When I had a friend come to town to visit, she offered a spare bike so we could both get around. So thoughtful!

The house itself is wonderful, very private, and came with everything I needed to feel at home. And that bed—firm but soft, and with the most dreamy pillows. I wanted to take the bed home with me! I loved having a fully-stocked kitchen, as well as on-site laundry, and there were plenty of bus lines close to the house with pretty good coverage of Austin. The well-maintained and very green front yard was a welcome sight at the end of a log day. 

The neighborhood itself is more residential than some others, which was what I wanted. I was able to jog around Hyde Park (felt safe and  wasn't too hilly), and stock up on groceries at Central Market (note that I had my car with me all summer; CM is a little too far to walk to in the summer heat, but might be a fine longer walk in cooler temps). There's a cute little area a short bike ride away (43rd and Duval) that has a cafe with live music on Sundays, a bakery, and a few other restaurants. There are lots of other places that are closer, but that corner in particular has a cool neighborhoody feel."
8634608,51199068,2015-10-18,39484610,Derrik,"Awesome host, incredibly nice and helpful. The place is nice and cheap for the area."
622062,1976477,2012-08-13,2955419,Tori,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Aimee's artist studio a couple of weekends ago during a quick trip to Austin. We were out and about much of the day and night, but the place made a nice refuge on Saturday evening. It's conveniently located relatively near the Whole Foods, the 6th St scene and a really tasty coffee shop. The pictures of the apartment are true to life and I enjoyed looking at all of the art on the wall and generally taking in the quaint antique vibe I'll probably never be able to pull off myself. Overall, the place was cozy and bright and stayed pretty cool given the temperature hit 104 degrees the weekend we were in town. There was also lots of street parking in the area. Aimee was very responsive and seemed happy to answer questions, though we had few. 
  
My boyfriend and I had just a couple of minor critiques on what was overall a brief, but pleasant, stay. 

1. The ladder to the loft bed is positioned in front of a chest of drawers. The stairs have a tendency to rest on the decorative lip of the chest, which is scary. You wouldn't want to break the furniture trying to climb up or down. This was more a problem for my boyfriend than me and could be easily resolved, I'd wager. 

2. Someone's cat seemed very interested to get into the studio and we had to keep shooing him away, particularly as we were leaving. I'm allergic so wasn't too keen on getting close. If the cat is a regular house guest in the studio that's worth mentioning in the rental description. It also meowed quite a bit at night when we got back to the place and again in the morning. 

3. The bathroom is very basic, especially the shower. It met our needs fine and Amy was upfront about this when we spoke, but a picture of that area would be helpful to give people a sense up front. Especially for those taking trips longer than one night. "
622062,2196309,2012-09-04,3177422,John,"Aimee's place is just as advertised - a small cottage in the rear of a larger home with a very cute, efficient layout.  The neighborhood seemed very safe, and is located walking distance from the HQ Whole Foods store on Lamar & 6th.  It was a 100 degree weekend, but the AC worked like a charm and we were sufficiently cool.  There's no TV, but a nice stereo with a long input jack for your music player.  Italian expresso maker, microwave, and two hot plates were available for any cooking you want to do.   If you want to do some gourmet cooking, then keep looking, but if you are like us, we were out for every meal and only used the expresso maker.  Whole Foods can provide anything else you might want.

Aimee communicated well throughout the reservation process.  She left written instructions for operating her stereo, turning on the AC and lights, etc.  Though we were not able to meet her, Aimee made herself available by cell phone for questions or emergencies.

I want to share a few things that weren't mentioned or weren't clear to us before staying at Aimee's place.  The main bed is located in a ""homemade"" loft with access via climbing an attic ladder.  If you are uncomfortable with heights (there are no railings once you're in the loft), then consider sleeping on the very comfortable pull-out couch bed in the living room.  The bathroom layout is unique, and the shower is a bit tight for large people, but everything is very clean and functional.  The driveway is a bit narrow leading down to the cottage, but there is ample street parking if you prefer not to squeeze in.

We really liked the ""vibe"" at Aimee's place and would certainly stay there again!"
622062,2600807,2012-10-13,1010455,Jonathan,"Aimee's bohemian cottage is delightful.  It's a very personal space, full of musical instruments and memorabilia of the Austin music scene.  This is what I enjoy about airbnb: rather than yet another generic hotel, staying here feels like an authentic slice of life in Austin.  I also loved that the apartment is walking distance from good coffee, Nau's Enfield Drug, and a quick drive up the way to Magnolia Cafe.  Her apartment is also close enough to downtown to reach, without the noise and stress of actually staying downtown.

The space is very comfortable: a huge, fluffy bed, good air conditioning, hot water.  The ladder to the loft space seems frightening at first but is completely safe and secure.  As mentioned in other reviews, the shower is small but clean and perfectly serviceable. 

I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in (website hidden). Also, Aimee did a great job of communicating clearly and promptly throughout my experience, even we she was off camping!
"
622062,2807066,2012-11-05,2619202,Breen,"Aimee communicated well in advance of our visit and was kind enough to pick us up from the airport when we arrived in town. Her place was conveniently located for our activities in Austin and close to the action in central and south Austin.

Aimee's place appeared as it did in the photos- quaint and quirky. We were disappointed to find that the bathroom did not have a door and the kitchen sink is the only one. Also, the fold-down couch was not terribly comfortable. I think the space would be best suited for two close friends (willing to share a bed) or a couple.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay but might look for more traditional accommodations the next time."
622062,2912308,2012-11-19,2953780,Jamie,"Cool little place, great location.  Bed is actually in a loft area accessed by a ladder, interesting bathroom setup but it serves its purpose.  Would stay here again.  "
622062,3153220,2012-12-25,1099464,Nicolas,"This place is fantastic. I was in Texas from NY visiting family and wanted a place in Austin to treat as home base. Even though I arrived in town very late getting into the place was super easy. The neighborhood is probably one of the best Austin has to offer; safe, quiet, with great food and shops all around. I've stayed in several of the new hotels off South Congress (San Jose, Hotel St. Cecilia) and can honestly say I preferred staying at Aimee's place. Her studio was quiet, comfortable and clean, the bed was super cozy, and overall it had much more character than a boutique hotel. Loved it, and hope to stay again!"
622062,3367206,2013-01-18,4435847,Ben,"Aimee's place is a perfect respite from the busy Austin party. Very well decorated and arranged (and complete with an incredible music collection), my guest and I had a great stay. 

Her cat, Ms. Shakes, stormed the house on one occasion, but didn't have any patience for us after all. I don't have any complaints about Ms. Shakes meowing in the morning. It wasn't loud or bothersome to us. 

Aimee was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I hope you rent from her. Also, buy her CD."
622062,3633552,2013-02-26,2893428,Kendall,"I absolutely adored Aimee's place. I got there in the evening and because it was dark, I had a bit of trouble figuring out exactly which building it was. But once I got inside, I was immediately happy with the accomodations. The studio is very charming. You can't help but feel inspired to do something creative when you're there. The bathroom and other amenities are exactly as described. It was perfect for one person, and I can see how 1-2 others could stay there comfortably as long as they are comfortable with one another. My favorite part was the location. Walking distance to plenty of yummy eateries, and not a far walk to the bars on Sixth Street. The surrounding homes are also lovely. I can definitely see myself staying here again!!"
622062,3720513,2013-03-08,102448,Craig,We attended the Global Coworking Unconference in Austin from 3/5 - 3/6 held at the Austin Music Hall.  Tried to find an airbnb close by and this came up. There were two of us - so we were trying to find something that slept us both.  This worked well with the Loft queen bed and the futon-style sofa.  The location was perfect and we could walk to the various restaurants and meeting places around the area.
622062,3770546,2013-03-13,337160,P,So cute! A perfect Austin experience. 
622062,3882346,2013-03-24,4681257,Audrey,"We rented Aimee's studio for one night only as we were attending my brothe'rs rehearsal dinner.  Great location and space for a romantic weekend. Something about the loft bed made you feel like a kid again :)
We walked to breakfast at Counter Cafe the next morning and enjoyed picking fruit from the trees on the way."
622062,3901501,2013-03-25,5514764,Kristine,Great place! Peaceful and creative. Me and my friend had a great time staying 1 night. Thank you Aimee for all your tips on where to go and your hospitality when having us there. 
622062,3959243,2013-03-31,4770995,Denise,We were really just looking for an affordable place to stay that was close to the 6th street action and Aimee's place was perfect. It was exactly as described and perfect for our trip. Aimee was incredibly accommodating and made sure that we had everything we needed. Make sure you read her description of how the place is set up rather than just looking at photos because there are some that will make this place not ideal for everyone. But if you're ok with no door on the bathroom and climbing a ladder to a lofted bed then you'll have a great experience just as we did!
622062,4171603,2013-04-15,556418,David,"I spent four days in Austin to wrap up an audio recording/mixing project. I could not have asked for a better environment than Aimee's place. If you are familiar with loft-style living, you'll quickly find the groove here- and the lofted bedroom was a really nice touch. The location is fantastic as you are in close proximity to Whole Foods, Town Lake, YMCA, a number of great restaurants/bars and the general downtown area. If you're looking to party downtown, I would like to note that It's a trek from the mayhem on 6th but if you're not averse to hoofing it home, it's doable. I was able to walk home from East Austin on Saturday night at 2:30am. I definitely plan to stay here the next time I am in town."
622062,6800674,2013-08-25,1832711,Kelly,"Aimee was a really awesome host. She kept the place really clean, and it made for a super comfortable stay. Would recommend this place to anyone. We loved Aimee's place."
622062,7916378,2013-10-08,5341531,Glenny G,"Now this place isn't going to be for everyone but it was definitely for me. Aimee was really great to deal with, super personable and really easy to information from. This is a perfect little gem of a place if you're a musician looking for a place to write in Austin and Aimee's record collection was exceptional. If you're afraid of heights or just a big unit, then the mezzanine bedroom might be a bit much for you. I was in town for work and the internet was slow so that was a little annoying for me personally but if shouldn't put you off. This is a perfect spot for musicians and people looking for something a little more cozy. I loved it. Thanks Aimee."
622062,8082334,2013-10-15,3004663,Matthew,"I really enjoyed my stay at Aimee's studio while attending the ACL Festival in October. It has a lot of character, was comfortable, and conveniently located. Great coffee shops/cafes within walking distance too. I looked forward to returning each day after the long festival. I never met Aimee in person but communication with her and check-in/out was a breeze. Thanks again, Aimee! "
622062,8411107,2013-10-29,9090498,David,"We had a great stay in Austin!  We felt much at home in Aimee's abode.  It's in a great location, near downtown, but in a quiet, quaint neighborhood.  Aimee's studio is small, yet very warm and homey. The bed was a nice firm queen sized with comfy sheets.  Access to the loft might not be for everyone, but we loved it, and everything about the studio.  Communication was great, and everything met and exceeded our expectations.  Thank you, Aimee!

David and Erin"
622062,9073707,2013-12-04,10103050,Christina,"Aimee was a great host.  Ensuring we had all the details of her unique studio prior to arriving. As well as responding to our request very quickly.

 Great location close to Lamar and 6th.  Yoga, unique shopping as well as fantastic bars and restaurant. Close to Town Lake and trails!

We would love to stay again!

"
622062,10724523,2014-03-04,5160138,Dana,Aimee's studio is a great space and I enjoyed my stay. I had a good time and Aimee was friendly and helpful.  
622062,10999921,2014-03-17,19655,Ben,"Aimee's place is amazing. It's got a great vibe and is cutely nestled behind a home so you get tons of privacy. The space is really fun with a loft bed you get to climb up to.

I'd definitely stay here again."
622062,11108482,2014-03-21,3905219,Miriam,"Didn't meet Aimee (she was on tour), but she was very prompt with emails and even checked in on us during our stay. Her sister was there when we got to the studio and was very helpful. The studio is in a great location and is almost exactly as advertised—and had a lovely Austin feel to it. Just reenforcing that there is indeed NO DOOR to the bathroom and this is basically in someone's backyard (I woke up one morning to someone doing yard work outside the window). If you're two people, like we were, it also should be noted that the futon does pull out but is very uncomfortable (there's no way to lie on it without a bar in your back) so you should plan to share the comfortable loft bed."
622062,11219475,2014-03-25,12127411,Diego,"We truly enjoyed our stay at your home. The neighborhood was peaceful, we had complete privacy. The location is great, close by is Whole Foods - we love - and Lush, we also like lots too. Lots of interest walking to downtown as well. We spent a good deal of time on your little front porch planning out our day's activities. As advertised, charming, clean, efficient, delightful. Your response to any questions we posed were answered most promptly. Much appreciation  from us Yankees, we had a wonderful vacation in Austin! Vicki & Diego"
622062,11408177,2014-04-01,6046620,Liz,"Aimee's place was perfect for our weekend Austin getaway. I stayed with my partner, and the space was great for two people. 

Pros
- Aimee was great with communication. We had no trouble finding the place or getting in.
- The space itself is adorable. A quaint little art studio!
- The area is quiet and residential, with very easy access to downtown Austin. Everything is walkable - Whole Foods is super close, and we walked down to 6th Street each night. We even walked down to Rainey street and were able to take a $5 cab back.
- Easy street parking if you have a car.

Quirks to consider
- The bedroom loft is precarious, so not great if you're looking for somewhere accessible or are afraid of heights. Still, great if you enjoy a place with character and don't mind a little late-night stair climbing excitement.
- There isn't a full stove, just some burners and a toaster oven. This wasn't an issue for us, since we ate out the whole time anyway.
-  The bathroom is located behind a curtain, so there's no sound proofing...at all. Just an FYI if you wanted to rent the place out with more than just your SO.

Overall, we had an excellent experience and Aimee's place was perfect for our needs. We would stay again for sure!"
622062,11594983,2014-04-08,13041886,Shane,"Awesome little cottage. Great location, easy to get around Austin from here. Thanks Aimee. "
622062,11649887,2014-04-10,5151338,Belinda,"Aimee’s place was perfect! It is close enough to downtown to bike, but far enough to cut out the downtown noise. Her decorating style captures her love of music. What a great way to jump in the Austin experience! She left thoughtful touches, such as instructions for using the stereo and encouragement to play the piano. I really felt welcomed! Her sister was SUPER responsive, as was Aimee. I had a wonderful stay, and I will definitely recommend her studio to anyone visiting Austin!"
622062,11742122,2014-04-14,4809576,Emily,"Lovely place. Aimee's apartment is in a beautiful, quiet location. Not too far from the river for nice running trails. Walking distance to great coffee. Yes, the loft is a climb, but that can be fun. We enjoyed the use of the piano, it made for a perfect place for practice. "
622062,12610736,2014-05-06,6847600,Tess,Great location! The space was clean and cute. Glad we stayed there.
622062,12898704,2014-05-13,10306488,Pierre-Paul,"If you want to feel like an Austinite, this is the place to be! We loved the neighborhood...walking distance to restaurants, bus stops, B-Cycle rental, whole foods(we developed a bit of an obsession). Interesting houses and trails to discover along with the overall vibe of the city & Aimee's place made us feel like cool kids! My friend was nervous climbing up to the loft since she is a stranger to grace but it was safe & sturdy. Yes there is no door to the bathroom but it's tucked away & didn't bother us in the least. The place oozes with charm & interesting bits. Loved loved the record player & all the records.  Did not get to meet Aimee but she was very responsive over e-mail.  I would stay here again and will recommend it to friends when they come to Austin."
622062,13283480,2014-05-24,4298169,Asia,"We had a pretty good time here.  The neighborhood is great, and the unit looks just like in the photos, very cute.  It wasn't super clean, there was some mold or something growing in the closet area, it was affecting our allergies, but Aimee's sister came over and sprayed it with a bleach solution and we felt better after that.  There were also a lot of spiders, I got bit in the middle of the night, which was kind of freaky, but what are you gonna do?  Really cute place, had everything we needed, but just could use a thorough cleaning."
622062,13619955,2014-06-01,14855583,Adrienne,"For our first time in Austin, I don't think my boyfriend and I could have picked a better place than Aimee's studio. It was tidy, cool, comfortable and best of all, perfectly located—we were within walking distance to everything, and only needed to use a cab/pedicab a couple times (just to rest our feet from walking all over the city each day/night). Aimee's collection of art, books and music was great. As other reviewers may have mentioned, it is a studio, so you won't have a ton of privacy, especially in the bathroom area. Luckily this wasn't really an issue for us, and the place more than made up for it as far as charm and accessibility.  
Other odds and ends ... The studio is tucked behind another house. The people living there seem friendly enough—we didn't talk much besides saying hello here and there. They do have a motion light, which helps when you are coming back at night. There's tall grass/vegetation all around the house, so we found we needed to use bug spray to keep mosquitoes at bay (no big deal). There are great food/drink options nearby—cute little bakery on 6th and Whole Foods is just a few blocks away!
Overall, it was such a great experience, and we'd definitely rent the studio again! Thanks, Aimee! "
622062,14580479,2014-06-22,13356180,Stephanie,"Aimee's place was great! My boyfriend and I stayed there this past weekend when we were in town for a wedding. We loved the space and felt very at home in it. It is indeed in close walking distance to all sorts of stuff. We walked home late from Donn's Depot, which was two blocks away and it couldn't have been easier. It was hot outside, but it stayed very cool in the studio even up in the loft. We had everything we needed and felt very comfortable. We didn't meet Aimee--she was out of town--but she left us the key and it all went very smoothly. It looks like the pictures, cozy, shady, comfortable, and charming."
622062,15335865,2014-07-07,14993348,Matt,"This spot had a very nice, quiet and secluded feeling that was great to come back to after being out all day. The location is amazing, as well, as you are in walking distance from anything you might like to do downtown.

Aimee was great and communicative"
622062,16439084,2014-07-27,13348139,Marianne,"Aimee was a great communicator and made sure that we knew where to go. Everything was as stated and her studio was clean, uniquely-decorated, and inviting. The loft/bed area was perfectly sturdy and parking was simple. Great location and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Aimee!"
622062,17011973,2014-08-05,18248279,Robynn,Great place! Great location! Great host!
622062,17481795,2014-08-12,17897261,Samuel,"The studio was amazing! It was everything we wanted and more. It is exactly as described and is a music lover's paradise. The location was great as well, right on W 6th, so very walkable to all of downtown. It was truly a great experience and I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you, Aimee!"
622062,18814624,2014-09-01,9952670,Anton + Kitty,Aimee's bungalow is the perfect place to stay in Austin! Homely and comfortable. Great bed and perfect location to explore the best parts of this incredible city. Excellent central cooling too! Stay here!!!
622062,20111213,2014-09-23,20989180,Nicolette,"This space was just what we were looking for! There were 3 of us and it worked out perfectly. The bathroom was not an issue for us and the loft was super fun! If you are sleeping 3, just be aware the neat retro couch may look cool but it is probably the most uncomfortable bed/couch in the world. There is a bar running through the center so sleeping on the floor was the route we took with the pad that our host provided. 

It is not as close as we had hoped to get to the trendy parts of town: E 6th, South Congress, etc but it is located in a really cute & quiet neighborhood. We used Lyft (if you don't know about it, learn about it!) to get around for about $10 bucks per ride. The flagship Whole Foods is a 10 minute walk down the road and I highly suggest you go as there is a full bar and you can drink whilst shopping. 

I was unaware that this was Aimee's full-time home and was surprised to find her closet full of clothes, fridge full of food and family photos on the walls. Mind you, I am new to AirBNB and maybe this common but we expected more of a guest home! After I realized this fact, it just felt like we were house sitting for her. All in all, this was an amazing space and would recommend it to anyone looking for an eclectic and unique space to stay!"
622062,20898760,2014-10-07,5725284,Misty,"This place was the perfect stay for myself and two other girlfriends during ACL! We loved it, the place has a lot of character. Everything was in walking distance, including Zilker Park. It's definitely not a place for everyone (especially if you're used to a Hilton or some fancy house) but if you just need a place to sleep and get ready for your fun day in Austin, this is the spot! Aimee was great to work with and kept in good contact with me even though she was out of town. I had a great experience overall!"
622062,24915673,2015-01-04,20986149,Tara,"My boyfriend and I stayed here for the week of New Year's Eve and we absolutely loved it! We totally fell in love with this awesome studio apartment. It has so much character and really added to our experience in Austin. Aimee was out of town so we didn't get to meet her in person, unfortunately, but she was still a great host and was always very clear with instructions and quick to respond to our messages. We would highly recommend this place!!"
622062,25616318,2015-01-20,22002278,Yann,"This colorful place has a lot of character, and is also very easy to use, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed. Also, given its convenient location, we had a great stay and were able to go to a lot of great neighbourhoods in a couple of minutes. Amy communicated really well and on a timely basis, and provided us with all the necessary info we needed. I would definitely recommend this place, especially if you are in town for a quick weekend get away ! The ladder to reach the bed on the attic was not a problem for us, and made the experience even more memorable (just need to be careful when you come back home on a late night !)."
622062,26693208,2015-02-17,25689961,Mara,"Love Aimee’s studio, very comfortable and in a great location. My boyfriend and I stayed for a long weekend and thought it was great. We sat outside on the little patio and hung out in the hammock chair, and enjoyed the cacti! Aimee left clear instructions for where we could find everything, and she was easy to get in touch with if we needed anything. The bed is very comfortable and the studio itself is spacious and wonderful. Street parking nearby was easy to find, and it’s a quick walk to 6th street."
622062,27051363,2015-02-24,25257853,Sandra,"We had a wonderful stay at Aimee's place in Austin.  The rental was just as described with outlined directions, house rules, and suggestions on getting around and places to visit.  The place was cozy, private and in a quiet neighborhood.  We really appreciated the convenience and proximity to Whole Foods, where we stopped often for snacks.  We took used Uber during our stay and were really pleased.  Thanks for the suggestion!  I will recommend this rental to friends visiting!  Perfect place for us."
622062,27878117,2015-03-14,25686932,Etienne,Excellent host and place!
622062,28069932,2015-03-17,3572023,Mike,"Awesome and adorable place in a great location.  One of the coolest lofted beds I've ever seen.  Can't recommend it enough.

"
622062,28462576,2015-03-24,10968863,James,"We loved our stay in Austin and Aimee's place was awesome. We stayed there for sxsw it was really easy to get to all the music and hussle and bustle, yet far enough away to be a little oasis to relax in. The house was clean, comfy and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. 
Thanks Aimee"
622062,28878452,2015-03-31,27715017,Amy,We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Aimee's charming house in a lovely neighborhood.
622062,31984429,2015-05-12,9945453,Nick,"Perfect spot for a solo traveler or couple. Located near a number of quality cafes and restaurants (5-15 minute walk), this bohemian studio was quiet and clean. Very basic bathroom and kitchen facilities, this spot is great for travelers who spend their time out-and-about rather than lounging in their room. Also, the neighborhood is great for jogging, with rolling hills and interesting homes. 

Would return without hesitation."
622062,40336337,2015-07-30,24332957,Alex,"This space was the perfect place to make my homebase while vacationing in Austin. Aimee prepared the studio for my arrival and was very clear in her directions, rules, and procedures. There are a ton of little trinkets from around the world all over the walls, shelves, and tables that make the studio feel homey and unique. The check-in and check-out processes were a breeze and though I did not interact face-to-face with Aimee, she was available by phone and text and checked in to make sure that I had found everything okay. I only really used the space as a place to sleep but wish I had a lot more time to hang out inside; it's truly an adorable and welcoming residence."
622062,40928962,2015-08-03,13307070,Stephanie,"My first trip to Austin will definitely not be my last! Had an amazing experience using airbnb for the first time and Aimee's adorable artsy studio was more than perfect for my stay as a solo traveler, but still plenty of space if you're with a small group. Aimee is thorough with where to find everything and helpful if you have any questions. It's super close to downtown, walkable or a short Uber ride. The loft bed was very comfy, just be careful when going up and down the ladder. If you want a unique and authentic place to stay while exploring Austin, this is the spot! "
622062,47727774,2015-09-21,41588630,Amy,"My boyfriend and I stayed at Aimee's studio for a very quick weekend trip to Austin. This was my first time using Airbnb and Aimee helped make it an easy, stress free experience.  Aimee was a great host who left awesome directions and checked in multiple times to make sure everything was running smooth. I accidentally left some stuff in the bathroom and she immediately called me and left it out front for me to pick up. 

The only thing was that ladder to the bed area can be a little scary at first but once you do it a couple times it's not so bad. Overall a great experience and the perfect space for a solo traveler or couple. "
622062,50651525,2015-10-13,18250819,Rachel,"Aimee's place looked and felt just as it was described in the listing. She made us feel welcome and was flexible with our arrival time since we were flying in. We stayed at her place for several nights while attending the ACL festival and it was great home base. We walked 25 minutes to the festival and avoided the crazy traffic, as well as the expensive Uber/taxi rides. We did not have a car and walked everywhere. It's about a 20-25 minute walk to 6th street and most of the restaurants/ bars downtown so if you're looking to get places quickly, a bike rental or car would be best.
As mentioned in some of the other posts, I think it's best to remind people that anyone staying here should be comfortable with whoever is staying in the space with them since it is a loft, the bathroom is not totally closed off from the rest of the apartment. The lack of full bathroom privacy did not bother us. All in all, the stay was perfect for our ACL trip!"
5279482,28215644,2015-03-20,9594,Jeb,"Everything was perfect. The neighborhood was quiet, and the home was clean and comfortable.  "
5279482,29427276,2015-04-07,13007630,Lisa,"Great neighborhood of historic homes.  Easy instructions on how to enter the house (keypad on door, no need to meet owner).  Lovely, clean, well-decorated guest house, fabulously designed, very comfortable!"
5279482,30768705,2015-04-27,5202267,Russell,"Had a fine time here. It's a very nice guest house, great facilities, off street parking, close to downtown. "

5279482,41290913,2015-08-05,21598829,Michel,"Check in time was 3pm, we did receive the address and instructions at 2.55pm.
We were told, a bit late, after being charged, that there were two dogs on site and they were '´ not friendly''.
That is nice for our two little girls.
Why wasn't that mentionned in the add of Turnkey Vacation Rentals on Airbnb site ?
When arrived, a woman shouted at us: the house is back there ! And she left. We had to wait outside til 3.45 because the maid was stil busy.
That left us some time to walk the lawn... Not to long  as it was filled with the dogs pees and poos. To be clear: dog's shits allover the garden and around the pool.
But that was nothing compared to the inside of the house.
We first opened the fridge to put our food and drinks but it was dirty, not cleaned since long. It was very difficult for us to have it clean, but it was possible....why the maid couldn't do the same.
Then bathrooms: hair allover, dirty toilets seats and underseats..... Not cleaned for long long time.
Shower and bassins same hair.
Shower carpet : trace of dirty feet, black spots very noticeable.
Towels worn out and dirty: black traces, blood, dust in the fabric, you name it ......
And then : the beds.
MENSTRUATION stain in the parents
Room and traces of urine allover the children mattress. We know it because we had to change the sheets, really too many packs of hair to dare sleeping in there. 
It was already  late so we decide to change the sheets and leave the day after.
When seated on the dirty terasse we have been sniffed and checked by the owner's dogs out for a poo ( the dogs not the owner ) and I must say that they weren't friendly at all (we have dogs at home and we are not affraid of dogs, usually )
We ran away from this discusting place.
We didn't receive much support from the renter Turnkey Vacation Rentals ; they just send us the same maid back and she '´changed'' the beds for new sheets with the same menstruation stains.....nor heard any word from the owner.

As you can read, I am not a english speaking, but if you do not understand or believe what I wrote, I have many pictures to send.
To finish, I think it is a shame to offer such dirty, unfriendly, un sanitary place for the rental. And nor the owner nor Turnkey Vacation Rentals deserve any payment for what they have commited. I demand a total refund of the 575 € this horrible place costed me."
5279482,46147132,2015-09-08,11108305,Pam,very comfortable surroundings
5279482,47971075,2015-09-22,3335842,Brian,"Six of us were in town for a UT football game, and I'm happy to report that we all fit comfortably -- each bedroom has one bed each, and there's also a sofa bed in the living room.  Slight awkwardness for the living room dwellers due to the fact you have to go through a bedroom to get to a bathroom.  The property is really nicely designed, with mostly stainless steel surfaces in the kitchen, and bathrooms that look like they were plucked right out a Restoration Hardware catalog.  The TV had a fairly comprehensive cable subscription which benefitted members in our group who wanted to watch sports.  Laundry, wifi, and ample towels were a plus, and walking-distance proximity to the UT campus was great for gameday.


Please note that this property is managed by an independent rental company and not some mom-and-pop type operation.  By that I mean we didn't really get the personal touch I've grown to expect from other Airbnb hosts.  Erica / Turnkey made no effort to reach out to me prior to the reservation.  I emailed and messaged the day before without receiving any response, so I had to call Turnkey on the day of the reservation to get the door code.  They were nice about it, but this small amount of stress could have easily been avoided if they sent the info sooner.  To their credit, everything else such as cleanliness, amenities, and equipment were perfectly fine as I would expect from a professional management company.


Lastly I want to urge potential guests to read through the house rules, which state that you'll be asked to run the dishwasher and throw the towels in the wash.  Not a huge burden, but could be an inconvenience depending on your travel plans.  Also it seems that they do not allow children under 25."
5279482,48823044,2015-09-28,15675780,Peter,"House was fantastic and fit our needs perfectly. It was very clean and welcoming- my best bud, wife, my wife and I stayed there and were blown away by how comfortable the beds were. 

Location was also amazing- easy walk to great bars and dining. "

276393,8410339,2013-10-29,4329920,Ryan,Our stay in Austin at Gavin's place just off South Congress was great.  The house was extremely well-located and had all the amenities that one would need for an extended stay in Austin.  Can't wait to go back!
276393,8783351,2013-11-18,9064752,James,"Lovely house, great location, and Gavin did a really good job keeping in touch with information ahead of our stay.  Recommended as good place to stay in Austin close to South Congress and within easy reach of downtown."
276393,10064210,2014-01-28,1938215,Angela,We had a simply delightful stay in Gavin's home. It's perfectly located and super cozy! Gavin and his family made us feel extremely welcome! We hope to stay there again next year!
276393,10902258,2014-03-12,2519402,Pino,Thanks for letting us stay. The house is lovely and in a great part of town.
276393,11765414,2014-04-14,10159171,Jon,"Wow!  What a house - absolutely charming and relaxed, and in an absolutely fantastic location.  The four of us all fell madly in love with the place and will DEFINITELY be looking to come back. 

Place looks just like it does in the photos - we felt right at home almost immediately on arrival.  And damn but it was easy to chill out here.  Seriously fun to sit on the porch, drinking beers, and enjoying the awesome Austin afternoons.  Being able to pop up to the fantastic sights and experiences of SoCo just makes the laziness all the better... 

Gavin was a great host who could not have been more welcoming and accommodating.  He was free with advice on the local area, as well as other highlights in Austin, and was generally a breeze to engage with.

Definitely would stay again.  5/5"
276393,22431724,2014-11-06,22091818,Lynda,"Gavin, our host was accommodating and met us promptly for key and tour of the house.  The neighborhood is fantastic and a very short walk to a ton of good restaurants.  The house is large and rustic. "
276393,27736431,2015-03-10,28227595,Annand,"Gavin was very welcoming, very flexible, and his home is an absolute delight. It's so close to many bars, restaurants and everything on South Congress. The home itself is very cozy, the listing covers every detail it's great. Parking is a breeze. The home itself has everything you need to make yourself feel like you're at a home away from home."
276393,28122826,2015-03-18,26430601,Brian,"Hosting was welcoming, provided a  great description of the area.  Location is great.  Feel like you really live in the city vs just staying in another hotel.  Walk 3 blocks for morning coffee in the morning or dinner in the evening.  "
3363227,19964675,2014-09-21,5290312,Giacomo,Keya and Ravi are fantastic hosts. The house is beautiful and clean. It is position in a very nice and quiet neighbourhood in a great position to explore Austin and the surrounding. The room was spotless with a big and super comfortable bed. I couldn't recommend it more.
3363227,21311481,2014-10-14,5448740,Shane,"Keya and Ravi are such gracious hosts, they made me feel right at home (in their home)!  They were very kind, generous and accommodating; they were happy to share local knowledge and hot spots, and allowed me to use their bike to get around.

Location-wise the house is wonderfully located close to Zilker Park (the venue for ACL) and a short bike/car ride to downtown Austin.  Perfect.  

The room I was given was  pleasantly decorated and had a luxuriously comfortable bed.  I also had my own bathroom.  Perfect.

Moving forward I will try to stay at their house whenever I am in Austin.  And when they visit LA, I'd be happy to show them around for a change :).

If you're hesitant, don't be.  Press ""book now"" and thank me later :)"
3363227,21549668,2014-10-19,22259007,Robert,"Keya was an excellent host. From the minute we arrived, she and her husband were welcoming, extremely accommodating, and full of recommendations. The house was incredibly clean and updated. I will definitely stay with her again when I come back to Austin."
3363227,21813849,2014-10-24,2157325,Marina,Keya is a great host and has a lovely modern house. The room was cute and comfortable. Keya suggested some places to visit and to experience the flavor of Austin. it was very helpful. I had a great stay.
3363227,22074963,2014-10-29,20847785,Charine,"Keya and Ravi were so sweet and accommodating, all around great hosts. This was our first airbnb experience, and it turned out to be better than we expected. Very happy to have spent our vacation time in their beautiful home and would definitely book a trip there again!"
3363227,22390771,2014-11-04,23217229,Kylie,"Holy cow, there are not ENOUGH incredible adjectives to describe just how spectacular this home + these hosts were. We were welcomed with a bottle of rose and endless recommendations for the very best of Austin, and from the very second we set foot in their gorgeous home, we truly felt like we were staying with longtime friends and family. Aside from the outrageously genuine hospitality, every square inch of this house is even MORE beautiful in person. Keya is an exceptional interior designer and left no detail untouched. The guest bed was ridiculously comfortable, the linens similar to that of a Four Seasons, and the bathroom conveniently stocked with anything you might have forgotten to pack. We were honestly blown away by every aspect of our stay and cannot wait to return soon!"
3363227,22822168,2014-11-15,23722711,Amber,"Both Keya and her husband were great hosts! Once I arrived, they made sure I was comfortable. The amenities were fantastic! Comfy bed in my own spacious room and private bathroom. I had such a great time with these two! I would definitely recommend and am planning on staying here next time I'm in Austin! "
3363227,23731090,2014-12-08,14381521,Amy,"We had an absolutely fantastic stay. Keya and her husband were so welcoming, full of great recommendations, and have an absolutely beautiful home. My friend and I did not rent a car, but the location is great and convenient to everything using a combination of walking (to a torchys), car2go, and uber. Can't recommend staying here enough, I would absolutely come back!"
3363227,24292413,2014-12-24,10809522,Sima,"Beautiful room in an incredible home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for the perfect Austin retreat! This architectural gem is just steps away from all the best food trucks, Zilker park and much more!

Keya was a gracious host and checking in and out was a breeze. She even made this amazing quinoa breakfast and chai for me in the morning!!"
3363227,24447454,2014-12-28,20685966,Stuart,"What a beautiful house! Great outdoor space, rooms were nicely decorated, clean and spacious.

Location feels quiet and safe, but close to great food options and downtown.

Our hosts were welcoming and provided everything we could possibly need.

Five stars! "
3363227,25513006,2015-01-18,1327025,Rebecca,"Staying with Keya and her husband Ravi was a totally delightful experience. The space itself was exceptionally clean, warm, well lit, comfortable, and - for the design nerds out there - in a very architecturally interesting space. They were incredibly gracious hosts and getting to chat with and learn more about them and their very interesting backgrounds was a wonderful part of the experience.

I highly recommend this listing for a great value in a great part of town with kind and welcoming folks who embody the Austin spirit."

She gave great suggestions on things to see and do that were off the beaten path of my extensive Trip Advisor notes. She is an amazing hostess and her home is as warm and welcoming and she is. The area is nice and quiet but a super easy quick commute downtown or to campus. Everything was perfect on my trip, very comfortable and clean. I can't see enough great things, thanks Keya!"
3363227,26318477,2015-02-09,19751149,Meredith,"Keya and husband Ravi were absolutely lovely hosts. My room and private bath were modern, lovely and offered all of the extras found in many upscale accommodations. It was centrally located and easily found. We had several lovely chats and I was sorry to leave. I communicated with Keya several times before my arrival and she could not have been more informative and helpful. I am sure we will meet again. "
3363227,26397726,2015-02-11,26559908,Jason,"The hosts Keya and Ravi are a lovely and generous couple.  They made us feel right at home.  The space was beautiful, clean and filled with sun light.  They provided us with awesome tips on places to eat and visit.  I highly recommend booking with them!"

The guest room and guest bathroom were comfortable, spacious, and impeccably decorated. We felt very at home, and were pleased with all of the amenities they offered. 

Keya and Ravi were friendly hosts--they offered us several rides during our stay, had some great recommendations, and invited us to watch part of the Academy Awards with them.  

We would definitely recommend this listing to other guests: hospitable, friendly hosts; beautiful home; excellent location."

3363227,28072824,2015-03-17,15764287,Katie,Lovely space and lovely people! The neighborhood was conveniently located and the photos capture the house beautifully. 
3363227,28256038,2015-03-21,15152834,Cami,"Keya's home was immaculately clean and comfortable. The photos on the listing are 100 percent accurate. She and her husband were gracious hosts, offering recommendations to excellent restaurants and bars. The home is as nice as a 5 star hotel and has more amenities and thoughtful touches than could possibly be expected. Keya had extra umbrellas, hair dryers, toiletries, even bath robes for us. The home and outdoor area are beautifully designed and make for an excellent retreat. There were thoughtful convenient touches throughout the home for us- such as the dishes and several kitchen items being beautifully displayed so we didn't have to awkwardly search through cabinets if we wanted to cook. I felt very welcome, and Keya made it very easy and quick to communicate if I had any questions. For the most part, we felt like we had the home to ourselves, and our hosts were there to help if we needed anything. It was excellent."
3363227,30673157,2015-04-26,27988535,Maria,"This was an overall good experience. I enjoyed the home and the location and the fact that it was close to the Palmer center, but I did not enjoy the fact that the host had company over until 11 pm and then proceeded to do noisy clean up close to midnight when we were trying to sleep. I understand that its her home and she can do what she wants, but when having paid guests, I thought that was inconsiderate. Here's the deal---Keya told me that she'd have guests over when we arrived, but that theyd be leaving within an hour or two of our arrival.  We arrived at about 6 pm and went out to dinner in Austin. The guests were still there when we got back at about 930 pm... They stayed til 11 at night even thought she told me twice that theyd be gone within an hour or 2 of us arriving....then the clean up happened...the room is not far from the kitchen, and the clanging dishes prevented me from falling asleep and thus I was tired the next day. Other than the first night, it was lovely. And Keya was sweet and helpful...so for the life of me, I am just a little flummoxed why she would do loud clean up at close to midnight when guests are trying to sleep. "
3363227,31873779,2015-05-11,1998240,Emilie,"My boyfriend and i had a really nice stay at Keya's house. The house is really pretty and clean, full of light.
The house and room were as described and we enjoyed staying there.
Keya and her husband were really pleasant and gave us lots of advices and nice places they recommend in the city.
If you have a car it's easy to park in front of the house and you'll be 10m driving from all the nice restaurants and stores. 
I'd definitly recommend to stay there."
3363227,48785684,2015-09-28,8833919,Domenico,Keya and her husband were wonderful hosts ! Kind and very welcome to me and my little daughter. The house is really clean and has a very cool and modern design. I will definitely go back!!! Thanks again!!!
3363227,49638194,2015-10-05,31481064,Krystal,"Keya and Ravi were kind, wonderful hosts. They were there to greet us and give us recommendations upon our arrival and were always available via text or phone calls. As for the room, it was exactly as pictured. It was clean and decorated beautifully. The bathroom was also spotless and both the room and bathroom boasted plenty of amenities such as towels and toiletries should you forget to bring your own. The house itself was in a quiet residential area, but a cheap uber ride or pleasant walk from the shopping and restaurants of South Congress. We wouldn't hesitate to stay with them again!"
3363227,50456431,2015-10-12,1137878,Kris,"We had a wonderful trip to Austin again for ACL and enjoyed staying with Keya and Ravi.  Their home is in a good location with easy street parking.  Ravi welcomed us and in no time we were settled in our cozy bedroom.  The windows throughout the house and the great use of color everywhere made me wish we lived in a glasshouse year-round, too.  A car is handy for getting around and we had lots of options to explore all within 5-10 minutes from the house.  While we spent the majority of our visit at Zilker Park, we enjoyed Austin Flea at Radio Coffee, delicious jalapeno poppers, super beer selection, and great service at Red’s Porch, and exploring South Congress.  Our hosts shared recommendations and favorite places, so we had plenty of options!  The best part of any AirBnb experience is getting to know your hosts and we really enjoyed our conversations with them about their backgrounds and future plans.  Comfort, Conversation, and Convenience – we had it all with this pick!  "
3363227,51757311,2015-10-24,45002162,Wisdeen,"I had a great stay at this house. It is in a quiet neighborhood close to downtown. I was here for 3 nights for a work conference and didn't want to pay downtown hotel prices so this was a great option. It is about 10-15 min from downtown.  Also easy to take Uber if you don't want to pay downtown parking.  Guest room is comfy, modern decor throughout the house, very clean.  Private bathroom.  Keya is  inviting and ready to make your stay comfortable. "
78884,200071,2011-03-15,423400,Richard,"Lynne was a wonderful host who went the extra mile across the board and the apartment was excellent. The location right next to Zilker Park and 5-10 minutes from downtown worked out perfectly for SXSW.

Would definitely stay here again."
78884,203124,2011-03-19,342216,Sandra,"My husband and two kids stayed in Lynne's place over spring break for a couple of nights. The studio had everything we needed: water, coffee, laundry, and beach towels. We usually cook when we travel but this was a quick enough trip that we just ate out or at friends' houses we were visiting. If we weren't out and about so much, I might say that the place is a little too small for a family of four (especially if your kids are of the ""he pinched me!"" variety, as mine are). But it was perfect for the kind of trip we were on. Lovely balcony to drink my coffee on, killer location for any Zilker Park activities. Lynne was a sweetheart to deal with and even left us a cool Groupon redeemable at a frozen banana trailer (I suggest you sample all the trailers you can!) called Bananarchy. We used it happily. We highly recommend Lynne's place. She sent us wonderful resources regarding restaurants and activities, which we definitely would have used more if we were there longer, with less structured time. Thank you Lynne!"
78884,217633,2011-04-04,417417,Sahar,"Recommended to all! Lynne was an awesome host who was always available for any questions we had. The condo has everything you could possibly need, including materials to cook, extra towels, linens, wifi, and a washer/dryer. It is tastefully decorated and charming. We had a great time during our stay in Austin and much of that came from staying in such a lovely condo with a lovely location. Thanks again!"
78884,230926,2011-04-18,501936,Cathy,"cozy efficiency type apt.-we were awakened by the birds serenading us in the morning (not too early).  Nice location, furnished well.   Lynne provided fresh ground coffee and milk for our use."
78884,257541,2011-05-09,553865,Brian,"We stayed here for the Austin to Shiner bike rally. Lynne's condo is in a beautiful location that's close to downtown, but also is a quiet retreat. It's right off the Barton Greenbelt and Lady Bird Lake trails, making it easy to go for a run, too. The condo was great and had everything we needed. Grocery stores and restaurants are conveniently located close by. Lynne was easy to deal with and very helpful with information about the surrounding area. We'll definitely be staying here again for future Austin trips!"
78884,311459,2011-06-13,575028,Lauren,"The condo was adorable and in a great Austin location. Lynne provided everything we needed and was easy to communicate with. Parking was available, and it was easy to cab to/from downtown. The Barton Springs pool is about a five-minute walk, and there's a market next door for any provisions you might have forgotten. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend! "
78884,357756,2011-07-06,758060,Shawn,"The condo was great and Lynne was awesome to work with.  Wonderful south Austin location--quiet, walking distance to Zilker park, minutes from downtown.  The condo itself is a warm and cozy vacation spot.  It was very comfortably furnished and had a nice tree-covered balcony with a table and chairs.  Inside there is a small desk with a stand-alone LCD monitor, mouse and keyboard and wireless internet access, all for easy connection to your laptop.  Note that there is no TV--which for me was a plus.  Note also that it is on the second floor and there are no elevators--which made no difference to me either, but for some people could be a deal breaker.  We had a great time and will hopefully be back!"
78884,400111,2011-07-27,586152,Beth,Lynne was a gracious hostess - the condo is compact but had everything we needed.  It's a few minutes' walk to Barton Springs pool and close to all the things we wanted to do in Austin.
78884,413303,2011-08-01,872899,Linda,"Lynne's condo was very homely and welcoming. Great location to everything, downtown, barton spring. She went the extra mile to give us suggestions of places to dine, live music venues, it was very helpful! I will definitely stay here again when visiting Austin, everything you need is there to make your stay comfortable! I highly recommend her place!"
78884,450221,2011-08-16,813825,Desiree,"We were so pleased with our stay at the Zilker Park Condo in Austin. This was our first time using airbnb and we are officially converts.  Lynne was an excellent host.  She was super responsive, sent us all kinds of helpful info. and had all kinds of tea and coffee (with fresh milk) waiting for us.  The condo itself was clean and comfy and we even got some good design ideas for our own house!  The location was ideal.  We were close to everything and were able to avoid traffic.  We will definitely look to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin."
78884,505470,2011-09-06,758015,Megha,This condo was adorable and definitely fit our needs. Everything was very clean and Lynne was very accomodating anf helpful. i would definitely stay here again.
78884,544303,2011-09-19,488678,Sarah,"Great place to stay! We stayed during the ACL Music Festival this past weekend and this condo was so convienient! It has a very ""homey"" feeling and it was only a short walk away from the park! I was able to meet Lynne the day we checked in and she is the sweetest lady! She had everything ready for us and we couldnt have stayed at a better place! :)"
78884,640452,2011-10-17,358266,Alison,"My husband and I shared a wonderful weekend away here. I loved the decor here! The condo felt so friendly and cozy, and it was close to everything we wanted to do. The kitchen was well-equipped for light cooking. Lynne gave us plenty of information by email before our stay and stayed in touch while we were there. We hope to stay here again!"
78884,678631,2011-11-01,767629,Sarah & Tom,Absolutely amazing experience! Very clean & comfortable.
78884,848076,2012-01-07,1546654,Lisa,thie place is very clean although quite small..  llynne bought us fresh milk for our coffee which was a nice touch.  great location if you want to run/jog/walk on the ladybird trail which is 2 blocks away.  Zilker park is just a little further.
78884,1016326,2012-03-19,1589666,Joseph,"Great place, make sure you stay there with a good friend!

Lynne was very helpful and the area is lovely."

There was also fresh milk, coffee and tea.  The location is perfect for walking to Barton Springs or a short jaunt to S. Congress area.  All in all it was exactly what I was looking for; I would definitely recommend staying here!"
78884,1138385,2012-04-16,2023823,Robyn,I will never have to stay in a hotel again when I visit my hometown. The condo was perfect and clean. We enjoyed ourselves and plan to come back soon. 
78884,1175766,2012-04-24,1894834,Melody,"We enjoyed staying at Lynne's condo.  It is in a great location, well-furnished, and has a nice Austin flavor.  The balcony is lovely, too.  Great to walk to Zilker Park!"
78884,1199917,2012-04-30,455516,Kasey,"Lynne's place was perfect!! Perfect size, perfect location, and just perfect everything!!!! We will definitley be going back to Lynne's place!! It is walking distance to barton springs pool and a 2 minute drive to south lamar street. Thank you so much Lynne for your hospitality!!!"
78884,1281170,2012-05-14,910956,Kellie,"This was my second time staying in Lynne's condo and it was as perfect as the first time! Convenient to everything, comfortable surroundings and peaceful property. 
Thanks Lynne!"
78884,1612100,2012-07-02,386217,Amie,"We had a wonderful experience at Lynne's Condo.  Everything was exactly as expected.  The condo was clean, and beautifully decorated.

It was really nice to have a washer and dryer in the condo to use during my stay. Lynne's place is well decorated and very comfortable. Lynne thanks for letting me stay!"
78884,2111548,2012-08-27,414817,Alden,"I booked Lynne's condo for my parents for four days during the summer. The apartment was perfect for them. In addition to being in a great neighborhood (and right down the street from my own apartment), Lynne's condo has everything anyone could ever need for an enjoyable stay in Austin. It is clean and cool, with just the right amount of space. Only my parents stayed here, but there definitely is enough space on the sleeper sofa to accommodate another guest. On the last night of their stay, four of us enjoyed dinner on her breezy balcony. Other bonuses - Zilker Park and Barton Springs are just a short walk down the street and the convenience store next door has everyone one might need for a quick grocery run. 

Lynne is a very wonderful hostess, easy to get in touch with and even put out coffee for them to use during their stay. I would highly recommend a stay in Lynne's condo! We will definitely be referring her to friends and family for future Austin visits!"
78884,2478139,2012-10-01,3665587,Adrienne,"Lynne's condo was every bit as tranquil and inviting as the pictures portray. I found that i had everything i needed and more, the bed was super cozy, and the hot tea she stocked was delicious! It felt like a little home away from home.. thanks Lynne!!"

78884,9716852,2014-01-06,10572717,Barbara,"I loved staying here!  Bright, colorful, cozy, and just steps away from beautiful Zilker Park.  The condo was quiet and well-stocked.  Although we visited the great Austin restaurants we also cooked for ourselves a lot, and the kitchen had all the cooking items we needed.  I can't think of a negative about this place!"
78884,21198198,2014-10-13,18332538,Cara,"Fantastic stay at this condo for this year's ACL Festival.  Within walking distance of Zilker park and Barton Springs.  Safe neighborhood, quiet community.

78884,33842754,2015-06-01,12062756,Thomas,"Location was amazing, close to everything. Entry into the unit was made simple with a keypad on the door and code set prior to arriving. Unit was clean and cozy. Bottled water was waiting for us in the kitchen. Overall a great experience."
78884,50628653,2015-10-13,10429279,Krystal,"Great, funky little condo right near Zilker (a quick 5-min bike ride down the hill).  Very tidy, lots of extra towels, linens, etc. and a great ac for that Texas heat! Lynne was a great hostess and even accommodated my request to check in a couple hours early so I could take a call.  The condo was a great home base for ACL, comfortable for two.  The space would be pretty tight for 3-4 adults, but if you're not spending too much time there and only needing a place to crash, it's a good choice.  "
8311215,51684871,2015-10-22,424157,Yulia,The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

They cleaned the place for us, left us breakfast to munch of each morning, and gave us some fun advice on things to do in Austin.  The neighborhood was quiet and there was plenty of room to park.

8253891,51515296,2015-10-20,7683190,Stefanie,Cindy is very warm and welcoming. The neighborhood is the best in Austin- easy to get to everything. Her tiny house has everything you need and feels like home. Very tidy. Soft sheets on a comfy bed. Great TV and ice cold AC. The bathroom is huge and the shower has great pressure and never runs out of hot water. There are so many thoughtful details. The stained glass windows are beautiful! She also left us treats and a nice note upon our arrival. We love Cindy and highly recommend her house. We will definitely return!!
8253891,53198288,2015-11-06,35191172,Jan,"Cindy was the perfect host and the little cabin was quiet and picturesque. The neighbourhood is very nice, with some good cafes and restaurants within a couple of hundred yards. About 30 minutes walk to the centre of town, through nice roads. All in all a lovely little place."
5250965,34897978,2015-06-13,17476758,Robin,"The home was great and just what we needed/wanted. The description was accurate and the house is perfect for a big group. There is a pool table and large TV room for the family, which made for a perfect gathering spot. The keyless entry is also a plus! For those familiar with Austin, this is a great location as you can hop on the freeway and South Congress is just a short drive. "
6714486,35887191,2015-06-22,22861503,Kelly,"Where do I begin?  Simply enough with the location.  Just off of South Congress and just off of I35 makes this an ideal location.  Our arrival was so easy since Maria is great at communicating (and extremely prompt).  She gave us an extremely thorough tour so I knew the expectations.  This apartment had so many more amenities than I realized.   We had a private garage, a really nice gym and a beautiful pool with hot tub.  There were extra sheets, blankets and towels, not to mention a washer/dryer in the apartment that we used after Saturday's rains.  The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked.  And she has this little fridge that chilled my daughter's birthday wine to the perfect temperature.  I didn't even have time to use the wireless printer and beautiful smart tv, although we checked them out.  Maria sent me a little text during the middle of our four-day weekend, just to make sure everything was ok.  This helped me feel like I could ask her for help if needed.  She was a great host, though.  It seems she thought of everything!!"
6714486,36332370,2015-06-27,20665201,Mike,"Maria was a great host - her place is comfortable, very well decorated, and in a great location.  She met my girlfriend and I when we arrived in town, and was happy to answer all of our questions about her place and the surrounding area.  She even woke up early to meet us for our early departure - we were on a road trip and eager to leave in the morning.  We had a great stay in lovely surroundings.  "
6714486,36452152,2015-06-28,2743567,Nydia,Maria is a very sweet and flexible host. She made us feel right at home in her comfortably cute 1 bedroom. I'd be happy to stay at her apt again.  
6714486,36621326,2015-06-29,15650633,Mikaela,We had a great time in Austin staying at Maria's. She was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any needs. The apartment was really nice and the location made it very easy to get around. Plus we really enjoyed using the pool and hot tub. Would definitely stay again.
6714486,37223553,2015-07-05,36384908,Hossein,"Maria is very nice and she cares a lot about her guests. She was so flexible about the check in time and let us come to the apartment at noon although she had another guest before us who left on the same day.
The apartment is located in a very nice complex. You can find everything you need inside the apartment. It is clean and very well equipped. There is a garage which is very useful in hot summer days to keep your car cooler. We stayed there for two nights and it was a memorable trip for us."
6714486,38082759,2015-07-12,2363613,David,"Great apartment. Maria was excellent. We will stay here again!
$9.40 Uber to SoCo!"

The place was wonderful to stay at. Good privacy! The place was clean. And, she has Apple TV which allowed me to easily connect my music through AirPlay! Very cool. 

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Austin! And, I would definitely stay again next time I make it down there!

"

6714486,38675181,2015-07-17,38303942,Cecile,"I didn't actually get to meet Maria, but she was very prompt in responding to all my messages.

6714486,41886940,2015-08-09,37804371,Liliana,Host was quick to answer and getting into her place was simple. It is in a good location as well not far from SoCo restaurants/shops!  
6714486,43639580,2015-08-21,19130193,Colt,This was the first time I have ever used airbnb to find a place to stay. I don't know if I just got lucky or what because Maria made this so easy. See stayed in communication before and during the stay. Everything I needed was already there. She was even so awesome to introduce us to a great Austin restaurant. Her place was AMAZING as well. From now on this will be the way that I go about booking places to stay. We're already talking about go back in October and we'll be staying there for sure! Thanks Maria for making this so easy!

4639318,25217573,2015-01-09,17945439,Anne,"The house is GORGEOUS, & Randy was a great host:) He made us feel welcome, comfortable & at home. Everything was clean & organized, beautifully furnished, Comfy bed, incredible bath tub, great kitchen, parking, laundry, easy access to the city - we LOVED every second of our stay & honestly wanted to just move in permanently;) If you get the chance to stay here DO IT. We hope to return :)"
4639318,28272761,2015-03-21,4730591,Andrew,Randy was a great host and a wonderful place to stay. Used the light rail and Car2Go to get around. Very close to campus and downtown 
4639318,31736767,2015-05-09,12487962,Seth,"First, Randy is a fantabulous host! His friendly, funny, casual patter throughout the reservation process had me feeling like I was on my way to crash at my supercool buddy's place while he's out of town. Everything was easy, and his communication was clear and timely. As to his house - OH MY GAWD... it's so nice. Very modern, high ceilings, lots of open space, beautiful concrete floors, tons of lighting to match any mood. I was traveling with an associate for business, and having two bedrooms, each with a separate bath was really great. It was a whirlwind trip with too much going on, but by the end of our short stay we were naturally calling Randy's place ""Home"". I'm not very familiar with the  layout of Austin, but the house felt very centrally located. We drove all over town during our stay ( it seemed like we put 500 miles on the rental car! ) and it was like every place we wanted to go was an easy 10-15 minute drive - even the airport! The neighborhood was quiet, and the couple folks we did encounter were warm and polite. I'd recommend anyone looking at this listing to go right ahead and snatch this place up if it's available. You're not going to find anything better. I just hope the space is open next time I visit Austin. Thanks for everything Randy - having your place as our home base gave us the comfort and confidence we needed to be totally awesome with our work while we were in Austin, and for that I'm grateful."
4639318,32409267,2015-05-17,4179230,Sophie,"Randy's house is very beautiful, clean and he provided everything necessary for our stay. He even has a nice garden w terrace! We loved the neighbourhood, everybody there was really friendly and we felt safe. We left our car at his place and took the bus downtown. The stop is only 5 min by foot, so really convenient. I highly recommend it! "
4639318,32989328,2015-05-24,31161352,Daniel,"- Great location, it was very easy to get around Austin and to go to some awesome coffee shops/eats nearby. 
- Beautifully decorated place. Very open concept kitchen/living area. One bathroom had a huge soaker tub and the other with a large glass shower. Full kitchen so we definitely made some breakfast there during our stay, which was very convenient. Also, comfy beds! 
- Randy was quick with his responses. He is very flexible and accommodating. "
4639318,37240905,2015-07-05,36814354,Alex,"Randy's house was so clean, comfortable, and beautiful. He was helpful and accommodating, with a lot of great local suggestions. It was such a treat! "

Great open kitchen with complete equipment and living area. Very clean and a cool design. And Randy is a good guy to chat with. I hope I can stay at his place again. Axel
4639318,49617865,2015-10-05,11945423,Jessica,"Randy's place was great: clean, comfortable, great part of town, quick/easily accessible (~10 min uber/car ride) to downtown/zilker (we stayed for ACL weekend). Randy was flexible and a welcoming host. He gave us great recommendations for places to eat/drink/visit while we were in town. Would definitely recommend and will stay again!"
4639318,50447663,2015-10-12,38801918,Doc,YOU MUST STAY HERE. What an awesome place. Everything was just as described and he was always quick to respond to any questions. 5 adults were very comfortably housed. Randy's house is close to downtown without having to worry too much about rush hour. It was a perfect place for the ACL weekend. He also has a great sense of humor.
4639318,52097617,2015-10-26,42538889,Robbert,"We loved this house. Typical Austin. Industrial look. Spacious. Wish we could be there in sunny weather to use the swing outside :)
Easy Uber to downtown. Parking space in front. We didn't meet Randy, but he was very responsive to questions. We sure recommend to stay here.  "
8293964,47443925,2015-09-18,33771318,Joel,"This is exactly what I pictured when I first heard of Airbnb.  The place is small, but VERY clean and tidy.  I slept on a couch -- not a hide-a-bed, just a couch -- but a very comfortable sleeping couch.  Jeremiah is a very pleasant and accommodating host.  If you enjoy good, intelligent conversation, Jeremiah has some interesting observations and fascinating stories.  Great place to stay, very reasonable price -- no frills, just a place to shower and sleep, and a gracious host."
8293964,49531963,2015-10-04,44959065,Chad,Jeremiah was very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed. He knows a lot about Austin and was happy to tell me about the city and recommend places to go. Good place to stay if you just need somewhere to sleep and shower.
8293964,52191998,2015-10-26,4111793,Songpoom,The communication was great and the room was very clean. Transportation to UT Austin is very easy. I highly recommend to stay with him.
102306,995362,2012-03-13,214871,Andrew,"This house, situated a short 15 minute drive from downtown Austin and is an incredible place to explore Austin from. Situated a short walk down from the water, the house has two stories, is carpeted, big televisions in many of the rooms, internet and a great kitchen if you want to cook. It is extremely comfortable. John is an excellent and attentive host which just adds to the experience."
102306,1025048,2012-03-20,892163,Tom,Great house and a beautiful lake!
102306,1840014,2012-07-30,2775950,Susan,A large nice home with amazing views over the lake..Beds are comfortable as our the furnishings of the home.  We pulled a boat and went down to the boat dock and spent the day on the lake.  The location is great with easy access to downtown restaurants and music..along with having The County Line Barbque around the corner and Chez Zee for Sunday brunch a 3 minute drive..HOme is very private and a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.  John is a great host and very easy to work with.  check in and out was easy.  Thanks and hope to come again!!
102306,1903993,2012-08-06,2929370,Grant,"This house is awesome! Perfect location to everything.  John is very nice and accommodating.

102306,2925219,2012-11-20,870024,Jose Diego,John is a great host and the house is fantastic! Great location and very spacious. I will definitely return when I go back to Austin.
102306,7132840,2013-09-08,4460354,Andy,I stayed at Johns place for two months this summer and it was such a great time. The house is in a location that you can take advantage of the best of both worlds: close to downtown but right on the water. Go down to the dock and watch gorgeous sunsets or take one of Johns kayaks to the west for lunch at county line or to the east and float past some of the most beautiful homes on the lake (take the first cove to the east go under the little bridge to your right where there is an amazing little canal). I even caught a couple five lb bass right off the dock. Thanks John for a great stay.
102306,10906962,2014-03-12,12190662,Lisa,"John was a fantastic host and generous with amenities that we weren't expecting (like soaps, shampoos, etc.). The house is beautiful and well kept, the views are amazing, it's in lovely neighborhood and is a nice, short hop to downtown for SXSW. Would definitely stay here again."
102306,11054488,2014-03-18,3516298,Paul,"John's house was perfect for our group of four.  Lots of space, clean and comfy.  John welcomed us, showed us around and had a six-pack of Shiner Bock in the fridge.  Highly recommended."
102306,14990251,2014-06-30,16634446,Carolyn,"My host, John, made me and my family feel very comfortable.  The house was as described in the ad.  It was nice and clean and he even left fruit for us to enjoy.  When I left some clothes in the closet, he notified me about them and mailed them to me."
102306,15337350,2014-07-07,16527238,Betsy,"The house was gorgeous.  Very clean and spacious.  It was close to Austin so you could easily get downtown. It was a short walk to the lake.  We stayed for 4th of July and had a spectacular view of Lake Austin and the fireworks.  John was a amazing host.  He was very easy to get in touch with, answered all questions quickly and thoroughly.  He was a superb host, even left some beer for us! I would definitely love to go back."
102306,17911596,2014-08-18,11845610,Daniel,"Beautiful home with amazing views. John was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Anyone considering a lake front home in Austin should consider Johns home, you will not leave disappointed!"
102306,22026925,2014-10-28,21653933,Matt,Great place. great hospitality. better than advertised. close to the city with great views and great open space. would certainly recommend to others.
102306,33132942,2015-05-25,18723607,Carla,Great host - super chill guy and the house has an incredible view with lake access. I'd definitely stay here again!

6270146,50273398,2015-10-11,1012121,Kate,"This was such a lucky find for myself and 3 of my friends for Austin City Limits! This was the PERFECT place for 4 people during the festival. The apt was spacious, very clean, great AC, full kitchen, and very comfortable beds. The pool was great in the heat. We felt very at home here and the owners were super friendly. Quiet neighborhood in walking distance of downtown and Zilker. Can't recommend this place enough!"
772700,3772672,2013-03-13,4880460,David,Rick's house was great - very welcoming and comfortable. Close to the bus stop to get into Downtown Austin and close to other shops and restaurants. Wholly recommended as a host.
2404206,12351605,2014-04-29,14169541,Nidhi,We had a great time staying at Julie's place in Austin. Julie responded quickly to my inquiries and was incredibly helpful.  The beverages and snacks were a nice surprise as well! Highly recommend! 
2404206,13141626,2014-05-20,7023149,Greg,"This house has got to be the best value for its size in Austin: new, clean, spacious, nice bedding and towels, fresh coffee and snacks to boot, as well as a pleasant sitting space in the backyard and a 5 minute walk to the lake-side trail on Town Lake. Superb. Julie was also a very gracious and attentive service provider: any queries were answered within an hour, and she was very flexible and pleasant. We personally had difficulty paying the City of Austin Tax, due to paypal confusions, but Julie gave us alternatives that made it all very easy. Would definitely stay here again - in fact I would consider this home base for my next stay. I went to UT Austin, so know the city well, and the location is excellent. Thanks Julie!"
2404206,13435611,2014-05-27,101369,Nancy,"Our experience at Julie's place was AWESOME. The place was exactly as advertised - no surprises when we arrived. Her house was clean, fully stocked, and convenient to everywhere we wanted to go (Rainey street, 6th street, and south congress). It's also fairly close to a nice walkway along the Colorado River that is perfect for morning or afternoon strolls. We'll hope to come back soon!"
2404206,13722624,2014-06-02,4796437,Salvador,"This house was really great! The house itself was really quaint  and very neatly organized. Had all the necessities. They had multiple mini toiletries if you forgot yours. 

The house is located in a great new up and coming area of Austin which I would love to live in. Very quiet neighborhood and all friendly neighbors. We walked to Rainey Street and it took only 10 minutes which was fantastic. Many great restaurants within walking distance. 

Julie is great with responding to messages in a timely manner. The house is locked with a keyless pass code entry which makes it very effortless. This place is definitely a gem and a must not miss location if visiting Austin! 

Thank you Julie! We had a wonderful experience. "
2404206,13916126,2014-06-08,12188717,Mike,"Great place to stay! The location is located very close to many restaurants, bars, coffee shops and much more. Julie was extremely helpful and accommodating."
2404206,14319885,2014-06-16,16522638,Patrick,Julie was a great host! She was very easy to communicate with after the booking and checked in with me shortly after I arrived to make sure everything was okay.  The house was very clean and she had snacks and a few drinks for us waiting in the fridge.  The fresh coffee was a nice touch and all the linens were very clean and looked new.  The place is a short walk to Rainey St if you are interested in checking out the bar/restaurants.  Short walk or cab ride to downtown as well while being in a quiet and convenient neighborhood.  I would definitely recommend staying at Julie's place and I will stay here again if I return to Austin.
2404206,15014377,2014-06-30,17242845,Przemyslaw,Very nicely renovated and comfortable house with a great location close to Rainy street. Would be happy to stay there again. Also a friendly and helpful host! Thank you 
2404206,15373908,2014-07-07,13965278,Benjamin,"Julie was a great host!  She was very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly.  She has a wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood in close proximity to Austin nightlife.  The space is very comfortable and is well apportioned with comfortable beds, furniture, plenty of linens, and extra toiletries.  I highly recommend Julie's place!  "
2404206,15562718,2014-07-11,17782850,Angie,This East Austin house is PERFECT!  It is light and airy and very cozy.  The kitchen is wonderful and Julie left us wonderful refreshments.  The beds are very comfortable.  The location is wonderful and we were able to walk to a lot of our destinations.  The backyard has a great patio and it was nice to sit outside with a glass of wine and enjoy the lovely Austin evenings.  We will definitely book this house again.  
2404206,16100574,2014-07-22,2335758,Eric,"Julie's house was very nice and well appointed.  The beds were comfortable and the AC, internet, and bathroom worked well.  She also had plenty of extra towels, sheets and blankets available for us.  And the location was perfect.  Close to downtown and the Rainey St district. I would definitely rent from Julie again in the future."

Thanks Julie for everything!!!"
2404206,16938631,2014-08-04,18692846,Christopher,"This was my first experience using Airbnb, and Julie made it a great first experience. She quickly answered any questions I had. She was also flexible with changing my reservation last second. 

The description and pictures are extremely accurate. The house is very comfortable. The shower head is amazing. Short walk to 6th Street and Rainey Street. 

Overall my experience was excellent."
2404206,18357263,2014-08-25,9807509,Neil,"We had an amaaazing stay at Julie's house. One of my favorite airbnb experiences.  The house was immaculately clean, with comfortable beds and great shower, bathroom, etc.  The house looks exactly as shown in the pictures. Lots of light, nice backyard. There was sparkling water and beer in the fridge, as well as snacks and coffee, etc. Close to the river and the running trail, to Rainey ST and to East 6th. Some of Austin's greatest restaurants and bars are right next to the house. Also, the living room's doors close and the couch becomes a comfortable bed - it really does feel like a third bedroom. I will definitely be staying here again. "
2404206,18797704,2014-09-01,17525447,Jason,"Julie was a great host from the start!  She was very responsive to any of my questions or inquiries.  

Great area of town (East side)!  Tons of cool little places over there including Rainey St. and pretty much anywhere on E. 6th, both which were only a few blocks away.

The house is as depicted in the photos.  Clean, nice-sized kitchen, and comes with all the things you'll need for your stay in Austin such as fresh linens, towels, and toiletries.  

The backyard is huge and really nice with a little bamboo ""forest"" at the one end!  Unfortunate I didn't get to spend more time out there.

Just make sure to keep the trash in the covered container or take out regularly so you don't get an unwanted pest, other than that the place was great and very clean when we arrived.  The pull out sofa-bed was surprisingly comfortable as well!

The house was awesome, but really get out and see the town.  There's so much to do!"
2404206,19538271,2014-09-14,14441518,Deborah-Louise,"Wow, what an amazing Airbnb experience. The house was amazing - beautifully decorated, huge, spotlessly clean and the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in (that'd be the memory foam!). The area is also fantastic - so many cool restaurants, food trucks, bars and shops nearby (I particularly recommend the White Lion for great live music and two-stepping). Julie was always available when we needed her for anything, and was extremely helpful and full of great ideas for things to do, as well as leaving plenty of literature about Austin in the house. Already planning our next trip, thanks Julie!"
2404206,20896172,2014-10-07,13891336,Megan,"This was a great location, the house was clean, comfy and filled with a nice treat of beer, wine and sparkling water.

2404206,22354160,2014-11-04,17329590,Heather,"We travelled to Austin from the UK and spent a delightful week with our family at this location. The house was clean and welcoming from the start. Julie was very helpful in arranging for air beds for the small children and giving us information regarding local events.
We will definitely stay here again when visiting Austin.

My colleagues and I were in town for work and this was the perfect way to get to experience Austin with minimal time.  Julie was incredibly gracious and welcoming-- tipped us off to delicious local eateries and got us oriented with great care and attention.  The house itself was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated.  It was such a treat to come home to this space!  I would stay here again and again and again and again.

There was plenty of bedding and fresh towels even a hair dryer!  Also, the neighborhood is great, very walkable with lots of great bars and restaurants.  I could not recommend her home more!"

2404206,23240262,2014-11-26,8535537,Lindsay,"What a wonderful house and location to stay in Austin! Julie had all the accommodations mentioned in the post plus nice welcoming touches like fridge refreshments and local suggestions for things happening in Austin that weekend. We had an amazing girls weekend and much of the fun was having this beautiful house to come home to. 

The back yard was a popular spot for morning coffee and some happy hour wine before hitting the town. We walked to Rainey Street within minutes and when it rained one night we were within a $10 UBER ride to downtown.

The beds were very comfortable and the living room was a great place to chill. We had wifi access and netflix, etc was available to use on their TV. The shower was amazing and the entire house was spotless and had anything we needed. The neighborhood was peaceful and in a perfect location for our Austin fun.

Julie was a great host and was easy to work with in getting into the house and answering questions. I will definitely be back again next year and recommend this rental to anyone who enjoys comfort and a well designed decor. Julie has great taste and has created a wonderful atmosphere for guests, thanks for it all!"
2404206,24712628,2015-01-02,758811,Daniel,"This house is great. Really comfortable, warm, cosy, and decked out with everything you could need. My friend and I both commented on how good the beds were and what a good night sleep we had. Location is also great, just a short walk downtown, and in a spot that easily accesses all the routes you could need. Highly recommended.

Julie was lovely. We didn't meet her in person but she was quick to respond and gave us some great recommendations for food.

If in Austin, I'd definitely stay here again. Thanks!"

2404206,25809097,2015-01-26,2311096,Catherine,"Fantastic place!  The house is bright, spacious, and comfortable.  We had a wonderful stay at Julie's East Austin home.  Julie has thought of everything and the house has all the amenities you will need.  She programs a unique code to lock and unlock the door, which is super convenient when you arrive and you don't need to worry about dealing with keys for your stay.  So smart!  Four of us stayed in the two bedroom, but with the pull out couch you could comfortably fit six people.

The location is walking distance to fun East Austin bars and restaurants and a quick drive to downtown Austin.  We loved the location.  Thanks, Julie, for making our trip fabulous."

El vecindario es residencial, pero con restaurantes cercanos; tranquilo,; y con fácil acceso a otras zonas. 

Muy recomendable.

The location for us was ideal - we were running the Austin Half Marathon so her house was within walking distance to the starting line, as well as some delicious eats and drinks for afterwards.  Everything was really clean and well organized.  This is the perfect place for two couples or a family looking to explore Austin. "
2404206,26827589,2015-02-20,5443818,Emily,"I booked the east downtown house for a couple of colleagues to share when our distributed team met in Austin. They had a fantastic experience. The house is in a great neighborhood, and, important to us, within walking distance to lots of great things in East Austin (and to Rainey Street). 

Julie was very responsive and helpful host, answering all of my questions very quickly! It was a great rental for us."
2404206,27322651,2015-03-02,25320987,Diane,"Fantastic doesn't quite do Julie's hospitality or the house and location justice.  Everything from the beer, coffee, fresh linens, etc to the awesome location and charm of the house made it a wonderful stay.  The house was very clean and with 6 adults we had plenty of space. 

It was truly an awesome weekend in a home made all the more amazing by Julie's attention to detail and lovely, lovely home.  I would definitely stay there again on my next staycation in Austin.  Thank you so much for everything. "

The house was a great home base for all of the events and activities we were there to attend downtown (an easy 20 minute walk). The house is also an easy walk to a bunch of great restaurants and bars on the east side. Would definitely stay here again!"
2404206,28874689,2015-03-31,17540,Patricia,"The East Downtown House was perfect and exactly like the photos. Juile was a wonderful host! The house is conveniently located. We walked everywhere and checked out local restaurants, juice bars and coffee shops! After exploring the city, we enjoyed relaxing in the backyard. The snacks and Topo Chico that Julie left for us hit the spot! This house was the perfect home away from home.  I would definitely stay there again! "
2404206,29666155,2015-04-11,1990364,Gretchen,"Our family gathered from Boston, Philly, and Chicago to visit our youngest who live in the neighborhood.  When we arrived the house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was stocked with local beer, organic coffee beans (and multiple kinds of cream for it),TopoChico, and munchies.  The beds are really comfortable and the shower is fantastic!  Our family likes to cook feasts when we get together, and this kitchen worked really well.  It was a great house to hang out in, too.  The neighborhood is very quiet and incredibly close to downtown Austin, the airport, and yummy local eateries.  Really, the location can't be beat.  Thanks so much, Julie, for being such a gracious and responsive host!"
2404206,29909898,2015-04-14,26684150,Alex,"Great house, great location, great host.  Julie has everything set up to make life easy, even entry into the property.  I will definitely be back.  Thanks Julie "
2404206,30313469,2015-04-20,29544054,Howard,"Everything in the house was much better than what the photos portrayed!  Julie & her husband attended to an issue in the bathroom unobtrusively and promptly.  Love the area, since it's so walkable!  Will consider staying here the next time I'm in Austin!"
2404206,30793052,2015-04-27,18023971,New,"We were thrilled with our accommodation in east Austin!The house was absolutely perfect and we found ourselves staying in way more than (website hidden) many nice touches like the snacks and beverages,the girls were very happy to find a straightener as well as  hairdryer,the air mattress was massive and comfortable,kitchen well equipped and the neighbours helpful!Location was great for downtown,Rainey St bars,6th st and cute cafes for coffee.Thankyou for a great stay!"
2404206,31216783,2015-05-03,418947,Tacy,"Julie was a fabulous host. She answered all of our questions promptly, let us know all sorts of insider info on the area around the house, and was kind enough to leave the house stocked with tea, coffee and miscellaneous essentials. The house was adorable, and 5 of us stayed there very comfortably. One of the best features was the incredible back yard! We definitely spent some quality time out there. We even picked a few kumquats from the tree one morning. Also....because traffic can be bad in Austin, location is very important, and Julie's house is situated perfectly for efficient access to all the new hot spots on the East Side, and it only took a few minutes to get downtown. Highly recommend Julie and her beautiful house. "
2404206,31986150,2015-05-12,17936468,Christian,"Julie was an excellent host! Very communicative, very helpful and informative about everything available in East Austin. The house comes prepared with a little guidebook telling the guest the best and closest services and even has some tips for getting around. 

But the house -- stunning! The backyard alone is a dreamy wonderland that makes this space worth three times what it costs! The whole house is actually much more spacious than it looks in the photos. Very comfortable beds and all the appliances/amenities you'll ever need.

Location can't be beat. In a city that can sometimes feel (to an East-Coaster like myself) as sprawling as LA we managed to walk everywhere we needed in less than 15 minutes. 

Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend to everyone!"
2404206,35496162,2015-06-19,4365561,Eli,"Julie made me feel incredibly welcome, the house was exquisite, and I felt like a very valued guest. It's nicer than the pictures make it out to be! The convenience of coming and going was way more convenient than a hotel makes it and I was just so impressed with the house overall. I would love to come back here and would highly recommend it to anyone coming to Austin. "
2404206,36729186,2015-06-30,12084111,Sena,"Julie's house is at an amazing location: 10 minutes walking to Rainey Street and 10 minutes to 6th Street. There was parking in front of the house. The house was nicely decorated, pretty clean. There was a huge backyard, with lots of shade. There were two bedrooms but we turned the living room to another bedroom easily by closing the doors. The sofa bed in the living room was pretty comfortable. There were lots of towels, enough for everyone. She also left us some water, beer in the fridge and some snacks in the kitchen. Even though we didn't use, the kitchen was fully equipped too. We didn't meet Julie in person but she was always responsive. She responded immediately to my messages. She also made our access easy. We come to Austin pretty often. If we come with a group of 4-6 again, we will definitely come back to her house. "
2404206,38017348,2015-07-12,35238550,Molly,"Julie and Vanessa (her assistant) were so accomodating, responsive and friendly! The house was wonderful and stocked with drinks and treats that made getting ""home"" all that more amazing. It was a great staycation! "

2404206,41474630,2015-08-07,7357365,Olof,"We had a great week in the house, perfect place for a longer vacation. The house had all you could ask for, well equipped kitchen and even a bbq in the garden. Two large bedrooms that easily fits 4 people and also a large sofa bed for two. Some nice bars and restaurants in the area and downtown was only a 5$ uber away. I would definitely recommend this house for any type of vacation in austin."

Julie was available to answer questions and was so sweet. 

The house is full of light and comfortable accommodated the four of us, although six people would definitely fit. We weren't cramped in the bathroom while getting ready either. The blow dryer Julie provided was a lifesaver!

The house is so cute we didn't want to leave and I would not hesitate to stay here when I'm in Austin again. 

Thank you for helping me and the girls have such a great weekend!!!!!!! "

Julie was able to accommodate an early check in for us, which saved us from having to lug our suitcases around the city. When we arrived, the house was extremely clean, and we were pleased to find beer in the fridge as well as tea and coffee available for the mornings. There were five of us staying in the house, and we had more than enough space. Julie also provides a fully guide to the house with all the information you might need as well as tons of recommendations for nearby restaurants."

We were happy to see they left us a gift in the fridge for us to start out our weekend in Austin. Nikki was not at the home but kept in contact with me to make sure we enjoyed our stay. She is a great host and I felt as if I was at home in her home. I Will definitely try to book her home again on future austin trips!

Their home is modern, clean, and had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The house is located in an ideal location to explore Austin. Niki was even able to provide us with some great recommendations for good eats and live music which were all in walking distance. We would highly recommend staying at Niki and Veronica's and would love to stay there again next time we are in Austin. "
3379772,21195845,2014-10-13,14992307,Natalie,"It was such a pleasure staying at Niki and Veronica's home for ACL weekend. It was our first time going to the music festival, as well as using AirBnB. Niki was very responsive to any inquiries I had in the beginning. I asked whether we could adjust the price for our last day, since one person would be leaving early. Since the website wouldn't allow us, he was nice enough to leave a bottle of wine in the fridge for us! I was in awe when I walked through the house. I loved admiring all the details of their home, from their funky light fixtures to their art pieces. The house is very spacious and is a short commute from downtown. I would definitely consider renting from them again! The whole weekend was amazing! Thanks again."

We'll be adding Niki & Veronica's house to our list of candidates when we return to Austin."
3379772,43953837,2015-08-23,15611129,Jordan,Niki and Veronica were extremely helpful and detailed regarding the ins and outs of the home. They have a beautiful home and it's not too far from a lot of local favorites. Highly recommend
6324076,46051988,2015-09-07,22458963,Spencer,"Lorraine's home was great! Exactly as pictured: bright, clean and plenty spacious for our group of four. Brand new amenities like a big TV, kitchen appliances, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms make this a quiet and comfortable retreat after a long day tromping around Austin. 

Lorraine was easy to work with, quick to communicate and kind enough to leave a gift basket to welcome us. We'll definitely look her up next time we're in town."

Set in a quiet location within easy access to Austin centre and Barton Springs. I wish we had more time explore! The apartment itself was perfect for what we needed, very clean and spacious with everything we needed. I would throughly recommend this to anyone looking to visit Austin and the surrounding area. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had and came to check we were ok and settled in. "

5387009,28917125,2015-03-31,14951312,Laura,"Came to Austin for a short stay, just to get away from NYC for a few days. This stay was absolutely perfect for me, huge house and excellent hosts - Richard was really awesome and helped reco fun places and things to do in the Austin area (Barton Springs is so fun). Really got to see Austin in it's authentic settings - this house is a quick Uber out from Downtown (~$7 on Uberpool), which is perfect if you want to checkout Austin city but also get to stay where the locals live. 

House itself is gorgeous. For a cityfolk like myself, beautiful change and so spacious. Interior felt homey, comfortable and really clean, just like the photos. Towels provided which was great. Huge kitchen (which I'm always intrigued by and love). Living room is a great spacious place to hangout if you intend to stay with a big group. 

Definitely would come back. Richard responded really quickly with any side questions I had which was really reassuring. OH. Wifi included (big welcome sign with the wifi+PW) when you enter, really convenient. Overall highly recommended!


"
8579971,52278545,2015-10-27,12286252,Scott,The house is more spacious than it appears in the photos and was very comfortable for our family of four. The kitchen is huge and well-appointed. We especially enjoyed the great pool and hot tub and the small but cute yard was fenced and worked well for keeping our toddler corralled.   We thought the location may be a little far north but ended up being very central to most everything we wanted to do and the neighborhood itself was very nice and filled with some nice historic homes. We didn't need much but Jaylinn and Dani were great hosts and very responsive to our inquiries and requests. The home represents a great value and would recommend to anyone.

So, I was in Austin for the fast-paste SXSW. Michael predicted I would have little time for breakfast so he bought me some bananas, yogurt, strawberries and hummus. You know, the perfect grab-and-go stuff.

He was very sweet and made a list with all the good restaurants around the area. I went to Juan in a Million. Good!

Michael also showed me which bus to take to the Convention Center. It’s the 17, btw. It’s like an 8-minute ride.

The private room and bathroom were squeaky clean! Michael even left me a new bar soap and some clean towels. Best of all, the bed was super comfortable! I slept like a baby.

BONUS!
-Camacho and Cathryn, his roommates, are super cool and were very helpful. Miss them already!"

4700102,24171249,2014-12-21,24639972,Tj,The apartment was well put together and easily accommodated myself and a friend. Good location and walking distance to a couple good restaurants. Easy parking. 
4700102,24315937,2014-12-25,1006368,Thomas,"Charming little place in a walkable area with lots of funky places nearby.  The whole area, including the apartment complex, has a relaxed, fun vibe to it.  The apartment was immaculate when I arrived, and had everything I needed.  I didn't meet Leslie, and we only spoke briefly, but she was kind and welcoming when we did. Highly recommended."
4700102,24351370,2014-12-26,25148682,Lydia,"Leslie Daphne responded quickly to our last minute inquiry despite it being a holiday. She was very friendly. The transaction went without a hitch and we were staying in her apartment that very night.  We had the place to ourselves.  Nestled in a charming courtyard, the modest apartment was just as described.  Decorated in a simple architectural aesthetic, the space gave a sense of who this host was even if we never met her or her co-hosting sister.  The location provided the perfect introduction to Austin because it is within walking distance of Spiderhouse and a food co-op, as well as UT. We felt lucky to have found this little place."
4700102,24397342,2014-12-27,25169566,David,"Perfectly located to visit UT (since I'm an alum) and all the old hang outs on the drag! Reminded me a lot of my friend's college apartment in West Campus. Kind of a bummer that both beds were twin, which made it hard to sleep with my partner, but we still managed. Would stay again!"
4700102,24438243,2014-12-28,12356562,Lindsay,"Leslie was a great host, very communicative and easy to get a hold of. Apartment was in a great location near down town and 6th street with several things to do in the area as well. "
4700102,24562100,2014-12-30,24955230,David,Our experience was great! Nice neighborhood w/ in walking distance of some cool stuff. 
4700102,25442679,2015-01-16,1455673,Jacqueline,"This is an older apartment in a very central and safe location, Hyde Park, near the University of Texas. Numerous bus lines pass through the area to downtown and North and South Austin. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a food co-op across the street. 

The hosts are university students who rented the place out while they were away. I did not interact with them in person, but they were easily accessible by phone/email. It was good value for having the place to myself and accurately represented on the website. The only inconvenience was the check-in at 7 pm: as the check-in is flexible, it is probably best to negotiate this time when booking.
"
4700102,25554269,2015-01-19,25143493,Brian,"Apartment was spotless, has everything you would expect/need including wifi. Host has great communication via email and will get back to you promptly with any questions."
4700102,33194656,2015-05-25,30905938,Elena,The apartment was very clean and well stocked for my friends and I. We stayed with 5 people total and didn't feel cramped in the space. It was a quick cab ride to Sixth Street and walking distance from several really good restaurants. 
4700102,33633233,2015-05-30,34077652,Stephanie,"It was our first time using airbnb & it was great! The apt was clean & like the pictures. There were towels provided. Hot & cold water work great. The place was kind of difficult to locate initially but we eventually found it. Pretty quiet apt complex. Leslie was the host & she was a pleasure to speak to through online messaging. Overall, great stay!"
4700102,33761076,2015-05-31,22339207,Arturo,Leslie was great! My buddies and I needed a place to stay for the night in Austin and she responded quick. Her apartment was clean and organized.  Thank you!

4700102,47935477,2015-09-21,13043287,Ashley,"Apartment is in a cute, older complex. Very quiet and neighbors were respectful. We took the liberty of parking at the complex. It was easy and we had no issues.
Apartment was very clean and tidy. We never met Daphne but the check in and check out process was VERY easy.
There are two twin beds that my boyfriend and I pushed together. Not ideal or particularly romantic but it worked!
Great place for a great price. "
4700102,49581107,2015-10-04,45686244,Karla,Very cute and comfortable apartment. I would definitely stay here again.

4227044,21061099,2014-10-10,21117756,Laura,"I would highly recommend staying at Jay's charming chicken coop. The entire interior was brand new, super clean, and very cozy and comfortable. They provided great amenities and lovely little personalized touches throughout the entire space. The amount of privacy was just perfect. Jay and his wife Jayne could not have been more kind and helpful. They are wonderful people. They gave great recommendations and also supplied me with a $20 Uber ride card and a $25 Lyft ride card. The neighborhood felt very safe, and the location is great with lovely cafès, movie theaters, groceries, and fun little shops. I highly recommend staying at Jay and Jayne's. Thank you so much!"
4227044,21313808,2014-10-14,16216420,John,"What an amazing experience staying in the ""Coop"".  Jay and his wife were amazing hosts and so accommodating.  The spot was even better than we imagined and what the pictures show. The bed is comfy with great linens, There is a small bathroom fully stocked with toiletries and supplies.  There is also a little ""bar"" area with a mini fridge, water bottles, even two little bottles of wine. They also had some delicious freshly baked cookie bars for us on arrival.  I had emailed Jay after I booked to tell him I would be late checking in. They had the room all set up for us before we arrived and we were able to sneak in without having to wake Jay and his wife.  I had also inquired about a ironing board before my stay, Jay told me there was an iron and small ironing board in the space, however when I woke up the next morning I saw a full size one on his patio for me to use. They were so kind to think of us and to do that.  The Coop is really close to a top rated sushi place, a top rated indian food spot, a walmart, and was about 10 minutes from downtown and 15 minutes from Zilker (for ACL).  I couldn't have asked for a better host or room. Thanks guys!"
4227044,21682814,2014-10-21,16050402,Katie,"Jay and Jayne have a wonderful little place for guests!  It's in a very nice north Austin neighborhood with easy access to MoPac and 360.  They were so helpful providing me with precise directions and stayed in close contact with me, as I wasn't sure when I was going to arrive.  They came out to greet me and take me to the Coop, and even gave me a Halloween cupcake!  Jay also drives for Uber and Lift, making it really easy for people to have a great visit to Austin."
4227044,21976375,2014-10-27,17569968,Stephen,"We loved our time in Austin!!

The Chicken Coop was a unique, relaxing and comfortable hideaway, just the right size for a couple. The neighborhood is far enough from the hustle and bustle but still quickly accessible to all of the sights and attractions that Austin has to offer. 

Heather loved the decor and how it was so thoughtfully themed. Jayne and Jay were very friendly and we both enjoyed out stay!! We will definitely be coming back!! "
4227044,22092600,2014-10-29,15502831,Laura,"Lovely couple. Lovely space. My favorite in 35-days of travel.  A new space in a great neighbor with all the amenities one requires plus a gaggle of restaurants in walking distance. Make sure to try Tarika India (Starbucks, HopDoddy, great omelet cafe, ethnic foods); just ask Jay and Jayne they know all the best places. 

This is a peaceful neighbor just outside the fray but close to everything: taxi, plenty of bus stops, one block to MoPac and Uber service too! courtesy of your host Jay. The yard is lush with flora and fauna and the terrace perfect for morning tea or coffee. Everything about this place is tastefully thought out. Enjoy.   "
4227044,22508441,2014-11-08,22823230,Abdulelah,"First, this is my first experience with Airbnb, and was not disappointed.

I felt really welcomed in my stay at the Coop, everything was spot on as described.

They communicated with me before,  while , and after my stay, which is very nice.

I noted that I will be coming late, around midnight, and they were very accommodating.  Even left me a paper with very useful instructions.

Everything was super clean, and brand new. I really fell in love with the Coop during my stay.

Jayne welcomed me the next day, and gave me tips and helpful insights about Austin, which was great. I wish I had more time, as I was on a tight schedule.

Toiletries were provided, and I completely forget to bring mine.(Thanks so much you guys :) ) (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, q tips, toothbrush, and toothpaste)

The neighborhood is very safe and quiet, and overall very nice.

I highly recommend the Coop, and will come back again when visiting Austin.

5 stars, you guys deserve it.  "
4227044,22656431,2014-11-11,22234181,Ben,"Jay and Jeyne were amazing hosts. The Chicken Coop is a beautiful little cottage that was perfect for my girlfriend and I. We were provided with a tasty treat upon check in as well as bottled water daily. When we weren't out exploring Austin, we were super comfortable chilling out and watching some complimentary Netflix. We will definitely be staying at the Chicken Coop again when we make it back to Austin."
4227044,22856839,2014-11-16,19656425,Blake,"Jay and his wife were wonderful hosts.  They were incredibly helpful and accommodating and allowed us to enjoy our stay at the Coop.  The place is very well organized, and the space is very well utilized.  The Coop is located in a great part of Austin, with lots of restaurants, stores, and other amenities around it.  We loved our stay at The Coop and would recommend it to anyone."
4227044,23214868,2014-11-25,2175491,Sandy,Jay and Jayne were fantastic hosts. The coop was adorable and everything was perfectly arranged. The bed was really comfortable and it was nice to watch a little Netflix and fall asleep after a long day. The first day I was there I had trouble getting the microwave to work and Jay took care of it immediately. I had a great stay. I definitely recommend the Coop.
4227044,23526586,2014-12-03,22933531,Siobhan,"We had a fabulous time at the chicken coop. Jayne and Jay were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The accomdation was spot on with wifi, microwave, fridge, iron, cups/bowls/glasses, TV and iPhone speaker alarm. There was even cake and wine, which was very welcome after a very long journey. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. Nice quiet neighbourhood near to some local attractions (Alamo drafthouse cinema, The Goodnight bar/bowling centre) and about 15 min drive to Austin Centre. Highly recommended"
4227044,23606157,2014-12-06,1567060,Sharon,"Our stay at the coop was great! Jay and Jane are the most kind people and very helpful. The coop was just adorable! It was extremely clean and met all our needs. Oh, and the bed was amaaaazing. The neighborhood is nice and the location was good for us. We could hop on a highway and easily get to anywhere in the Austin area--Downtown, Lake Travis, Round Rock. My last day there, I had my coffee outside on the swing and enjoyed the birds, squirrels and flowers. If available, we'll definitely stay here next time were in Austin!"
4227044,23882500,2014-12-13,23657617,Mike,"I had the most relaxing and enjoyable week at the Coop.  The entire cottage is put together with obvious care and attention to detail.  It was impeccably clean and outfitted with a few extra amenities that really made me feel at home and able to relax immediately.

My hosts were genuinely warm and welcoming.  I felt that if at any point I needed something, they would be right there.  That said, they respected my privacy entirely. 

The neighborhood is safe and very pretty.  Lots of joggers and dog walkers throughout with some really great restaurants, an Alamo Drafthouse, and even basics like Walmart in very close proximity.

I stayed here as a student looking for housing before finding something more permanent.  I would recommend the Coop not only to others in a situation like my own, but also to anybody looking for a fun, clean, warm and unique getaway."
4227044,23955313,2014-12-15,2432183,Katie,"We had a wonderful time staying at the Coop! We were very comfortable and at ease and appreciated all the little touches the host provides.

Jay and Jayne are excellent hosts (the chocolate chip brownies were a delicious and thoughtful treat!), and we will definitely be back in the future!"
4227044,24192756,2014-12-22,24132757,Sarah,"We loved our stay at the Coop! It is a small but very clean and inviting space. The space heater kept us warm and we were easily able to manage the temperature. The shower was wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. Jay and his wife have thought of everything and we loved all the little touches that made for such a nice stay. This was my first experience with AirBnB but I am now a believer! If I head back to Austin anytime soon, I would most definitely hope to stay at the Coop. "
4227044,24328907,2014-12-26,18600135,J. Andy,Great hosts. Nice quiet location. Convenient. You want be disappointed if you expect small. Ok if all you need is a place to sleep.

4227044,24663138,2015-01-01,17918771,Stacey,"Jay and Jayne were wonderful hosts and made us feel incredibly welcome! They are approachable and answered every question we had. We were in town for a wedding and they worked with us with the check in and check out and responded quickly to our every inquiry. We loved the location of the Chicken Coop - only about 15 minutes from everything downtown. We were pleasantly surprised how close this location was to everywhere we wanted to see. The Chicken Coop is clean, neat, and cozy. Complimentary drinks were offered and it was awesome to have a mini fridge and microwave available. We would definitely come back to this Airbnb! "

We loved the smart TV with Netflix, and the super soft bath robes were an extra special touch.

All in all it was a wonderful experience and we will definitely stay  at the Coop again next time we are in Austin!"

I booked this trip to Austin as a secret engagement vacation for myself and my fiancée, and even though the weather wasn't very kind, the Chicken Coop was perfect for relaxing after a full day in town.

We recommend this establishment wholeheartedly!  And they even have bathrobes for you!"
4227044,25916581,2015-01-29,26581020,Kat,"Loved it!  Jay and Jayne are the perfect host/hostess.  As a single woman traveling for work, this was a safe location.  It is exactly as pictured and described.  Very Clean!  I wanted to book it for my return trip in a few weeks, but it's already booked up!  This is going to be a HOT location.  

WARNING:  If you are staying here for work, be prepared to use this little hideaway for a mini-vaca while you're there.  I did.  I even ""worked"" in a nap one afternoon.  While it's a small accommodation, you won't feel ""cooped"" up.  Who knew a Chicken Coop Cottage could be so delightful!  

Thank you both for the wonderful little hideaway.  Jay, I left the ""treat"" for you.  I hope you enjoyed it.  

This will be on the top of my list for locations in Austin.  Thank you again J&J.  I hope to return soon."
4227044,26019918,2015-02-01,5422589,Alyssa,"This place was immaculate! Small, but perfect for our needs. We were greeted upon arrival and given all our necessary information.

The coop was a perfect private retreat for our 2 day stay. The accommodations were extememly cosy and cute, quiet from any downtown noise and only a short car ride from all Austin has to offer. 

Everything was exceptionally clean and quaintly put together. Water bottles, coffee, home baked goods and even wine were provided, with other amenities such as plenty of fresh towels,   soap, shampoo, cute mugs and plates, fridge, microwave - the list goes on! 

Put simply, this was a fantastic stay that I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Jay and Jayne! "
4227044,26190824,2015-02-06,26445065,Anthony,"My Husband and I recently stayed at The Chicken Coop. This was our second airbnb stay. From our first contact with the hosts we felt comfortable. They were very informative and professional over text and email and very friendly and helpful in person. The first night they left us some yummy brownies. The next day we found a typed list of ""things to do in Austin"" outside our door. The last day we found a bag of pecans on our door stoop. They seemed to anticipate every need a traveler would have. From comfy white bath robes, to lots of bottled water. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet. The location was perfect for shooting into the heart of Austin for good eats, museums and shopping. The Coop was immaculate and very comfortable. We can't wait to return to the area and will definitely make The Chicken Coop our roosting place."

The location is in a great quiet neighborhood a few minutes drive from the city and the Coop was extremely clean, comfortable and well appointed for such a compact space. Literally had everything we needed and a few nice extras as well. (Bath towels, dishes, bottles water and snacks)The bed was super comfy and we felt a nice sense of privacy. Jay and Jayne even offered to turn on our heat for us during the unusually cold weather. Very gracious and warm hosts. This was our first Air bnb experience and now we are hooked. Highly recommend."

4227044,27387672,2015-03-03,9637283,Secil,"The Chicken Coop is better than advertised. Jay and Jayne treated us more like family than guests. The warm reception and kindness made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. The list and description of restaurants, night life, shopping districts, and other things to do was extremely helpful. The freshly baked brownies were delicious, the cottage was clean, tidy, and cozy, and the backyard looked beautiful and immaculately maintained. The location has great highway access and plenty of walkable shops, parks, and places to eat (including coffee shops and Tacodeli). We would highly recommend The Coop to any individual or couple looking for a place to call home while exploring the fun and welcoming city of Austin.

Upon arrival, the coop had everything we needed like towels, toothbrushes, soap, and water to drink. They even baked us brownies!  Jay helped us with our bags both as we got there and when we were leaving.  Jayne left us an umbrella to use when it was pouring outside.  We could go on and on about the hospitality we received!

4227044,27921924,2015-03-15,25972577,Grace,"Staying at the Coop completely elevated me and my boyfriend's trip to Austin! The Coop is unrivaled in coziness; I slept soundly from the first night because it felt like home. Jay and Jayne gave us plenty of information in advance for getting to the Coop, so we were able to settle in and get comfy easily even though we arrived around midnight. There are motion-sensing lights that light the parking space and path to the Coop, so you always know where you're walking and feel safe. The Coop looked even better in person than it does in the photos, the chicken theme was adorable and inviting. The layout of everything works so well, from the lighting to things like small rods to hang your clothes from or the sliding bathroom doors that conceal a full-length mirror. I was extremely impressed by how much the Coop provided in a smaller space, and touched by the thoughtfulness of all the amenities: there are spare toothbrushes, q-tips, cotton balls and cleansing pads, a shampoo/conditioner/soap dispenser in the shower, hair dryer, bathrobes, etc. (I tend to forget or travel without those things, so it was impressive to me!)

The Coop was completely spotless and Jay and Jayne had left the heating unit on in advance so it was warm. There were freshly-baked blondies waiting for us, as well as bottled water, wine, tea, and a Keurig. 

In the late morning, the neighbor's calico cat, Pat, strolls over and demands head scratches. Pat is the cutest cat ever and we will miss her! "
4227044,28247208,2015-03-21,24949445,Charlotte,"We had a great time at The Coop! Jay and Jayne were amazingly around when we had questions about  running trails or needed an aspirin but out of sight when a nap was in the works. One morning when the neighbors started a jack hammer (to their shock - didn't bother us) Jay brought fresh pastries to us in bed to make up for the offense. Except for that goof, 
The coop is on a quiet street in good neighborhood with easy access to downtown. Very comfy digs- great people. "
4227044,28396551,2015-03-23,27189562,Katherine,"I felt extremely welcomed! From Jay helping with my suitcase to Jayne having water and fresh fruit in the cottage - they were welcoming. The neighborhood and cottage were exactly as described.
It was a lovely stay and you could tell they had thought of everything to make it a pleasant stay. 
As a side note- I really liked the location! It was near local stores and restaurants and also really easy to travel into the city!
Overall, it was a great stay and I would stay there again. "

We were literally 10 minutes from everything. I fell in love with the bed and the tranquil outdoor area. Our host were sweet and attentive without being intrusive.  We will definitely be returning!
4227044,29399587,2015-04-07,27554664,Pam,"Jay and Jayne were wonderful, warm hosts who welcomed us to the Chicken Coop Cottage with handshakes and homemade brownies.  We felt completely at home in this cozy, private, impeccably clean little cottage in a quiet residential neighborhood.  There are no actual chickens clucking about, but the decor gives you a real farmhouse feel.  We had a wonderful experience and would stay there again in a (email hidden)vided it's available.  Places like this must go quickly.  "
4227044,29643630,2015-04-10,12438500,Martha,"My daughter and I really enjoyed this, our first Airbnb experience.  Jay and Jayne provide a comfortable cottage and were very welcoming.  The location was perfect for us, near 183, Mopac, and still a quiet neighborhood.  Such a cute cottage!"
4227044,30440025,2015-04-22,8004917,Cindy,"We had the best stay at the Chicken Coop!  The property is very cozy and has everything you need to be comfortable.  I loved the details and decorations, and slept so well in the amazingly comfy bed.  Jayne is a great host, offering to loan us beach towels and chairs for our water excursions and gave us very helpful tips on where to go and what to see.  Their house is a short drive from downtown Austin and located in a very quiet, safe neighborhood with easy access to the highway.  Thank you!!"
4227044,30865530,2015-04-28,22265830,Christa,"We LOVED our stay here! The Coop is really adorable, not to mention well-kept & clean, very comfortable and stays cool! Jay and Jayne are excellent hosts. They left us a list with tons of things to do in Austin, which was super helpful since we had never been there before. Very generous and caring hosts, I was sick the weekend we stayed and Jay shared their organic raw honey with us to help soothe my throat and checked in to see how I was doing. They made communication very easy and they really do love to have guests! It is also in a safe, quiet suburban neighborhood but still pretty close to everything in Austin. Absolutely recommend this place with five stars and two major thumbs up!"
4227044,31246264,2015-05-03,31737245,Brooke,"The Coop was amazing! Jay and his wife are the sweetest hosts you could ask for. The neighborhood was beautiful. I went running in the park in the morning, and had a lovely time. The Coop was spotless, and they left us wine, homemade cookies and cinnamon rolls! Can't wait to come back!"
4227044,31576213,2015-05-07,968001,Sandra,"Jay was quick to respond to our request and very friendly and informative. The Chicken Coop is in a safe and lovely tree lined neighborhood that is very quiet. We never met Jay, his wife Jayne was home when we arrived and showed us the Coop and all the instructions and local tips we needed...Jayne welcomed us with open arms and made us feel right at home! We enjoyed all the attention to detail in the very cozy,comfy,and spotless cottage. Jayne even provided us delicious homemade Magic Bars and made sure to wish us a Happy Anniversary and surprised us by leaving chilled champagne in the mini fridge! The space is even better than it appears in the pics, we would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!"

4227044,32471553,2015-05-18,29190938,Mike,I couldn't have felt more welcomed by Jayne and Jay. The Chick Coop is very clean and having a mini fridge and coffee maker in the room makes a difference. Jayne and Jay were very accommodating and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. They even let me borrow a umbrella during the storms. I didn't even ask for it and there it was waiting for me with a nice note. Highly recommended.
4227044,32782843,2015-05-21,33053614,Sean,"A wonderful experience is the only way to describe our stay.  Jay and his wife made us truly feel at home in the ""Chicken Coop"" which is perfect for any couple traveling to Austin. The space was just as described; cozy, quaint, great location and perfect for our trip.  Extremely accomodating and provided some nice extras like coffee, bottled water, bug spray and a few snacks.  We took advantage of their cute backyard area and swing to enjoy our morning coffee.  Will definitely be coming back and highly recommend for any couple."
4227044,33072285,2015-05-25,7573360,Kirk,"Jay and Jayne were excellent hosts and more than accommodating.  The coop is in the perfect location and has everything you need, so thoughtfully put together.

There is a wonderful garden area you can sit and relax if you like.  Will definitely stay again."

It had everything she needed for our short trip to Austin - comfortable bed, private patio, mini fridge, coffee, private bathroom. Jay & Jayne were just great. Jay helped me get my bags, Jayne had a full list of ideas for things to do in Austin. We'd move in if we could."

4227044,34778770,2015-06-12,2483767,April,Jay and Jayne were fabulous hosts!  We received a message the day before we were to arrive giving us some specifics for our arrival that answered questions we had since this was our first Airbnb experience.  The Coop was just as represented in the listing in a very nice neighborhood in north Austin. There were great chocolate chip cookie bars and really good coffee waiting for us upon our arrival.  This was one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in away from home.  We were greeted with a smile and treated like old friends the entire stay. We would most definitely recommend a stay at the Coop Cottage and will book again as we return to Austin.  Casey and I wish to say THANK YOU to the Coops for a most pleasant experience! 
4227044,35075583,2015-06-15,21613713,Terah,"The chicken coop was a great experience for our weekend trip to Austin. It is set-up very well and all of the amenities that you could need or want. My husband slept great in the comfy bed and enjoyed the privacy. Jay and Jayne have thought of EVERYTHING, from robes to keurig to a privacy fence. We would be happy to stay in the chicken coop anytime!"
4227044,35466303,2015-06-19,32018098,Wendell,"On our arrival Jay and his wife greeted us and were very friendly and warm.  ""The coop"" is decorated warmly and is very clean.  It has a comfortable bed and a separate bathroom with a shower.  There was a supply of water bottles for our stay and a small microwave and refrigerator for our use.  There was even a snack of delicious bars on our counter when we arrived.  Jay and his wife were very warm and personable and made us feel welcome.  Overall a very pleasant stay.
We had a issue with our transportation on the morning we were to go to the airport.  Jay graciously took care of the problem by driving us to the airport in his personal vehicle.  What a host!! "
4227044,35811925,2015-06-22,33286005,Alida,Our stay at the Coop was perfect! Jayne and Jay greeted us when we arrived and were so welcoming. They even provided us with a list of recommendations on places to visit and things to do. Very quiet neighborhood but a short drive to the city. The stay was so comfortable we did not want to leave. Also very private even have your own little courtyard to sit and bird watch. We definitely plan on staying again. 
4227044,36390492,2015-06-28,2535988,Will,"Had a fantastic stay. Clean place and beautiful decor inside and out. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, made even better by thoughtful hosts J+J. It was quite possibly the most perfect place to stay - the  best airbnb experience hands down!"
4227044,37792955,2015-07-10,36984536,Veronica,"The listing was exactly as described! Very clean and cosy, and the hosts also made sure to check for any issues once we were settled. We appreciated that Jay and Jayne did their best to make the area as private as possible, and we loved the coffee and snacks. The small space was so thoughtfully arranged, and contained everything we needed (including water bottles, toothbrushes, and bath robes). The garden area was a great addition, and we saw several butterflies!

We definitely would stay here again. "
4227044,38761617,2015-07-18,37331156,Renee,"Just ended a full week's stay at The Coop and loved it! Jayne's hospitality is evident in everything from the fresh, clean interior to the aMAZingly yummy, homemade chocolate chip bars that were waiting when I arrived. I was driving into downtown Austin every day of my stay for meetings and such, and the easy, 8 mile commute made the savings over expensive downtown accommodations well worth it. Definitely looking forward to staying here again some time!"
4227044,39067028,2015-07-20,36474436,Darya,We loved our stay at the coop. The place is very clean and has all the necessary amenities. We would definitely come back.

The pictures on the site are an accurate depiction of the space.  The hosts were very thoughtful providing bottles of water, coffee, tea, and even a brownie and chocolates, and extra toiletries in case you forgot something.  I'd also add the mattress was extremely comfortable, much better than my own. I would definitely stay here again - truth be known, I didn't want to leave! "
4227044,39576890,2015-07-24,39030681,Kristin,I so enjoyed my stay at the Chicken Coop Cottage hosted by Jay and Jayne! The cottage and yard were exactly as described and pictured. It is cozy and absolutely charming. Jay and Jayne have really set up a great place and thought through a lot of little details to make your stay comfortable. I was in Austin for work and it was so nice to be able to relax in the quiet and private space the cottage and garden provided. I would stay again in a heartbeat. This was my first airbnb experience and I could not have imagined it being any better.
4227044,40120724,2015-07-28,36563224,Susan,"This was our first visit to Austin, Texas and our first use of Airbnb. I am happy to report that we thoroughly enjoyed both the city and our accommodations. Our hosts, Jay and Jayne, were very friendly and helpful. The Chicken Coop Cottage was really clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated with the chicken motif. There was a Keurig coffee maker, bottled water in the frig, yummy brownies, and even bathrobes, extra touches which were much appreciated! 
 I can recommend the Chicken Coop Cottage without hesitation. "
4227044,40543419,2015-07-31,22893289,Halie,"They were so nice and welcoming! We had our privacy, yet they were very close by if we needed help or recommendations!"

Every time we saw them, they were kind and wanting to know if there was anything they could do to make us more comfortable. The coop was cute, cozy and just what we needed for our weekend getaway. They thought of everything including bottled waters, hangers, and bathroom toiletries. We would highly recommend the coop to anyone wanting to visit Austin."
4227044,42041296,2015-08-10,39839136,Dane,"Very quaint, very cozy.  Jayne was super sweet and very accomodating."

I loved the privacy of the coop but also liked that they were right there if I needed anything. There is nothing more that I could have wanted as the place had everything I could need and more! The bed was amazingly comfortable. I highly recommend staying here. 
4227044,43136485,2015-08-17,38517439,Sydney,"Jay and Jayne were wonderful hosts. The coop was cozy and the decorations were excellent. Our hosts provided all the amenities a traveler could possibly ask for: from toiletries and towels to a coffee maker and baked treats. They went out of their way to get in touch with us before we came to let us know all the details, which made settling in as easy as coming home, despite an unexpected late arrival.   Overall, beautiful accommodations and very caring people. "
4227044,43723711,2015-08-21,41732547,Dubravka,"My husband stayed at the Chicken Coop Cottage for three nights, and I joined him for one, during a mid-town move when we had to move out of our old house and before our new one was ready.  Hubby reported that Jay and Jayne were lovely and welcoming hosts.  The cottage is small, but very charming with thoughtful touches such as robes, toiletries, water, included.  We loved the location which was close to our new house and the privacy provided by a separate building.  Would definitely recommend!  "
4227044,44168674,2015-08-24,970985,Amanda And Becky,"This cozy cottage was the perfect place to rest our heads during a hectic visit to Austin. Jay and Jayne thought of everything, and after a seamless check-in we found ourselves wandering around the space taking in every detail. We loved the ingenious use of space and the thoughtful decor, but our favorite part was the private courtyard. Our busy day ended with us sitting in the porch swing, where we relaxed and listened to the wind in the trees well into the night. On top of all of this, Jay and Jayne were model hosts. We would absolutely recommend the Coop to anyone paying a visit to ATX!"
4227044,44740338,2015-08-28,42526797,Ruth,She was friendly & welcoming.  Nice neighborhood.  The place was quiet & near the freeway.  The small cottage was decorated with a cute-fun style with a chicken theme.

Thanks for a wonderful week!

4227044,46154603,2015-09-08,15016910,Sora,"This place is just so charming! We got to the place around 4pm and the room was nicely air conditioned and super clean! The host greeted us and showed us in. She was nice, sweet and made us feel welcomed. The coop has everything you need- from towels to sunscreen, so you really feel like you are in a hotel. Location is great, right off the freeway and it's very quite at night. The restroom door does not shut completely, since it is a sliding door, so it could be a problem if you are going there with just friends, but with me and my husband- we had no problems. I would def. go back!! "
4227044,46651772,2015-09-12,43136131,Libby,"The Coop is a cozy and comfy place to stay in an active and fun part of Austin. There are a lot of great restaurants and activities to do right in the neighborhood, and it's a quick and easy Uber ride downtown or to Rainey Street. Jay and Jayne are very friendly and welcoming hosts. My husband and I loved our stay in The Coop and would stay there a million times over. Enjoy! "
4227044,46984173,2015-09-14,3202772,Matthew,"Fantastic place to stay in Austin.  Cozy, private, and easy comfortable.

Highly recommend!"
4227044,47418837,2015-09-18,360392,David,"The place was great! It's a nice little home away from home. Loved that I could getup and go for a morning run, and it was easy to get in and out of."
4227044,47739672,2015-09-21,41906606,Anna,"We really enjoyed our stay at the Chicken Coop.  The courtyard and cottage were lovely, clean, comfy.  The dessert treats that were available to us upon arrival were so delicious.  We opted to walk the area and take the city bus downtown to explore Austin.  There were plenty of restaurants and several coffee shops in walking distance of the Coop and the city bus was nearby as well.  Jay and Jayne were friendly hosts and everything went smoothly for our stay.  We would definitely recommend this location."
4227044,48114824,2015-09-23,19277662,Shandon,"This place was amazing!
Jay and Jayne were the nicest people we met while in Austin. The Chicken Coop was so charming and very elegantly decorated. It was so comfy and so cozy. I honestly wanted to move in there, no lie. Anyone who knows these two full time are pretty lucky people. If I come back to Austin to visit again I will definitely try to stay at The Chicken Coop again and would highly recommend it to anyone! Do not knock a tiny home or The Chicken Coop until you try it, it is such a comfortable charming place. Very intimate and private. They provide you with everything you could possibly need and extras. Her brownies were AMAZING!!! And the Ozaraka water was the best water I have ever tasted, they do not have it in Florida where we live. Their dog is also precious. Ok I am done rambling now! BOOK this place, it will be a very memorable experience and you will definitely love it, hopefully as much as we did! 
*Austin is a magical place, we really want to move there but that is in the works. :)"
4227044,48437081,2015-09-26,43637481,Brian,"For our first Airbnb stay this was a wonderful experience! We had a late arrival and Jane graciously welcomed us. She directed us to the Chicken Coop and told us if there was anything we needed to let her know. Once inside, there was a brownie for both of us.  We appreciated that and the bottled water after traveling all day. The cleanliness,comfort and decor was very inviting! We took advantage of having our morning coffee outside both days of our visit. "
4227044,48906405,2015-09-29,112019,Jessica,"This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I've had in over 5 years!  The cottage was even cuter in person than the online photos show.  

Immaculately clean and Jay and Jayne have thought of EVERYTHING!  I hope to return again in several months if all goes as planned.

One thing I will mention, but that is not meant to be a negative...I'm a really light sleeper and there is a train track nearby.  This made for some rough nights for me (even with ear plugs) and I feel it's worth mentioning for others with sleep issues.  However, this will not prevent me from staying there again!  :)"
4227044,49512797,2015-10-04,43036356,Ellen,"Jay & Jayne were excellent hosts.  In advance of our stay they made sure that we knew how to find them and that we had their contact info.  Jay greeted us as soon as we arrived. He showed us to The Coop and made sure we were comfortable.  
As for The Coop Cottage it couldn't be better.  It was just enough space for two, very clean, and equipped with everything you need!  If you forgot to bring it - The Coop has it!  Be sure to wake up in time to enjoy your morning coffee in your private garden.  
We loved it so much we can't wait to come back."
4227044,49770856,2015-10-06,20378958,Jason,Jay and Jayne's coop was absolutely perfect. Extremely cozy and comfortable. They made it super easy to get in and communication was exceptional through the whole process. Perfect airbnb experience!
4227044,50039344,2015-10-08,22650379,Melodi,"From the moment we arrived, Jay and Jayne made us feel like we had arrived home.  The Chicken Coop is charming with everything you would ever need thought of and provided up front.  From fresh, fluffy towels to providing directions and suggestions to Austin, no detail was too small.  The bed was comfortable, the wifi connection was terrific (perfect for getting work done if necessary), the entire place was just perfect.

We also loved the absolutely peaceful outdoors to sit and unwind after a busy day.  The neighborhood was quiet (although we heard a train, I don't believe it runs past 10 pm.) and located near almost every ethnic restaurant one could ever desire.  

We will be returning to Austin and I hope to stay at the Coop again."
4227044,50226485,2015-10-10,15451362,Andrew,We loved our stay at the chicken coop cottage! It made our visit to Austin all the more memorable and our hosts were so sweet and kind. You will love your stay there!

Jay and Jayne had the fridge stocked with beverages, snacks and homemade brownies.  The Coop is cozy and has a really comfortable bed.  There is a parking space in their driveway, and the separate entrance was really useful.  We looked forward to coming back from ACL Fest each night because of how great this place is.  Also, we enjoyed talking with Jay and Jayne.  Very cool people and their dog Buddy might be the sweetest canine on the planet.  We hope to stay here again in the future!"
4227044,50993390,2015-10-16,16599757,Ben,Wonderful little cottage.  It is very comfortable with everything you need.  Jay was very friendly and helpful.  I would definitely consider staying here again.

The space is definitely small, but they make very good use of it. The outdoor space was lovely, too. Both were extremely clean and organized. Despite what I read on other reviews, we didn't hear any train noise at all. Jay and Jayne were very easy to work with, down to earth, and super helpful. They sent a message letting us know we could check in early if we wanted, since the previous guests had left early. You can tell they take a lot of pride in what they do - they pay close attention to the details and it really shows. They have thought of everything! In the Coop you'll find everything from plush robes, wine, and treats, to things like sunscreen and bug spray, just in case you need it. Plus, Jay knew I planned to watch a football game when I got there - and he took it upon himself to make sure he had the TV set on the right channel when I arrived - so thoughtful!! They really went above and beyond. I LOVE Austin and will definitely be returning to the Coop next time I visit!"
4227044,51790498,2015-10-24,20565626,Erin,"Jay and Jayne have thought of everything! They even provided an umbrella during last weeks rain storm. 
The bed was so comfortable, and the coop was super clean. It was refreshing to stay there. 
Will probably stay again if i find myself in the great city of Austin! "

4227044,52849604,2015-11-02,44703261,Natalie,"What a great time I had at the Coop! I stayed the weekend to take a little get away for my birthday and I am glad I did.  
The coop
-Super cute, clean,quaint and quite.
-The outside is super cute, I didn't get to spend much time out there because it rained a lot.  
-The fridge had soda,water and wine in it. There were also little snacks in the kitchen nook which is a nice touch. 
-The bed is super comfy and the bedding was so soft!
-There is a nice tv with cable and netflix which was great because it rained a lot while I was there. 
-The lock to the coop is automatic so no worrying about carrying around keys.
-There is a print out of the coop rules and a list of things to do in the area it is close to a huge thrift store row which was awesome.
Jay and Jayne
-I was greeted by Jay when I arrived he brought me brownies which was sweet and they were good!  He gave me the low down and showed me how to work the lock. 
-When I checked out I got to talk to Jay and Jayne and they just are a really nice down to earth couple. 
-They are great at communicating and response time.

-The coop is right of Mopac and it took me only 10 to 20 mins to get anywhere I wanted to go, including South Congress on a Saturday. 
-There are tons of restaurants and shopping like 5 mins away.
Overall
I will be back!!"
2235476,11009447,2014-03-17,10407664,Daniel,We had a fantastic time in Austin. Nick's house was absolutely perfect and he had been kind enough to give us lots of good information and recommendations for the local area. A perfect host and we can't wait to go back.
7005488,38038010,2015-07-12,37056946,Damien,"The property was exactly as advertised, tidy, spacious, included gated parking, and couldn't have been in a more perfect location for a visit to The University of Texas and a night out in downtown Austin - both of which are only a short and inexpensive Uber trip away. Moreover, Audrey was an incredibly kind and accommodating host that always made herself available to answer any questions or concerns I had regarding my stay, making this an all-around great Airbnb experience. "
7005488,39856088,2015-07-26,38183860,Nils,"The place was exactly as advertised, clean and in a good location. Audrey was very helpful and provided us with the necessary amenities. Overall, a good place to stay."
7005488,40017226,2015-07-27,38547348,Tanya,We loved the condo. It was neat & clean. The experience was ver positive. Thank you!
7005488,40977152,2015-08-03,34183656,Debora,"Good location (close to many restaurants & UT), cozy interior, & great price. Audrey was very sweet and helpful. I just wish the WiFi connection would've worked a little faster. "
7005488,42028305,2015-08-10,39378244,Clint,This place was exactly what we were looking for. It was a nice and relaxing home that was perfect for two. Their was q nice coffee shop right next door and we had a short uber drive downtown both nights. Would definitely stay here again!
7005488,42228546,2015-08-11,27553,Jennifer,"Audrey was a great host - she provided excellent instructions to access the property, it was a very secure location (gated), and very centrally located.  Somehow I missed that it was a 4th floor walk-up in the description - but that is okay - my father-in-law made it just fine. 

The property is right behind a great little coffee shop; and 1 mile from the Frank Erwin Center.  Lots of great little eateries; and Audrey made some fantastic recommendations. 

Overall; the property was clean, well-air conditioned, and the bed with the foam topper on the mattress was very comfortable.   The tub could have used a bit more attention; and the inner shower curtain does need to be replaced.  The provided towels were clean and soft; and the shampoo and conditioner were appreciated.  Would have been nice to have a washcloth too. :-)  

There was no road noise or noise from other residents - it was a perfectly cozy condo, and we weren't cramped at all.  Check-in and out was a breeze; and the communication with Audrey was quick and super-easy, she was very responsive and friendly!  I would definitely stay again. "
7005488,43111704,2015-08-17,29327395,Maryam,"Audrey was a very wonderful host! Although I never met her in person, she was very quick to respond to any questions I had throughout my stay, and made sure I felt very welcome. The place was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained just like the pictures. It is in a very cute little neigborhood that is conveniently located. It was a very quick uber ride away from 6th and other locations. I loved my stay here, and I definitely recommend Audrey as host!"
7005488,43826172,2015-08-22,40158348,Peter,"Audrey's condo was nice, clean and neat. For my first experience with ABnB, this was a great way to get started. Audrey was very responsive and helpful with explaining everything. "

She was also easy to get ahold of when we had a question or two! The location was also great- close to downtown, but still in a nice neighborhood with a cool coffee shop and juice bar near by. All in all, a great experience. "

The condo was super clean and spacious, and we really appreciated the travel sized shampoos and conditioners since we forgot ours. Her amazing book collection was also a plus! There is an amazing 24/7 coffeehouse literally around the corner that we instantly became obsessed with. Audrey made communication a breeze! Would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for a great experience! "
7005488,49176301,2015-10-01,6550996,Stacey,"Lovely apartment in a neighborhood that's very convenient to UT and downtown.  Audrey was great with communication, and coordination was flawless.

We look forward to staying here again."
7005488,52880164,2015-11-02,46248484,Tanner,Fantastic condo that is conveniently located right behind a coffee shop. Came exactly as advertised and Audrey was very prompt with answers to any questions I had. Would absolutely recommend for anyone looking to stay in Austin. 
8356445,48959044,2015-09-29,35430430,Danny,"The home was gorgeous, large, spotless, and exactly as it was represented. 

I was able to comfortably fit a group of veterans who came together for our Non-profit event, and it was beyond perfect for what we needed. It even came with a welcome box of goodies for us to snack on. 

"
8356445,50517815,2015-10-12,40135689,Steven,"We had a big group (11 people!) come down for the Austin City Limits music festival, and we all loved the house. Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements and getting in and out of the house was a breeze. Also, we were all pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the house was with the essentials - coffee with all the fixings, some snacks, tons of towels, and plenty more. We're thinking about going back down for SXSW and this house is at the top of our list!

As great as the house was, our host Sunee was even better. She was in constant communication with me throughout the entire process, even on short notice (I had previously booked a house and was canceled on 3 weeks before the festival). Any time I wrote Sunee a message, she would get back with me within 2 or 3 hours with the exact info I was looking for. Also, she was incredibly accommodating with our group's needs, and absolutely went above and beyond to make our trip as hassle free as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better host! Thanks Sunee!"
8356445,51191281,2015-10-18,20318627,Mary,"Sunee was wonderful to work with. I had three colleagues in Austin for a week and they loved the home, the location and the very sweet gift that Sunee left for them. I almost took the credit for it. ;)

We will definitely utilize this space for future Austin events."
8356445,51482814,2015-10-20,42291476,Amanda,"We loved this house, location, host, snacks, walkable restaurants, cheap übers, close to the river and so much more!! Host let us check in early and stay a little later. Great spot for our girls weekend and we slept 8 people comfortably!! Highly recommend. "
8472256,50682843,2015-10-13,27927995,William,"Nick and Karen's place was in a great spot right by tons of food and shopping on South Congress. Also walkable to 1st street and Zilker Park, which was perfect for my ACL weekend.

The place was very clean and they even had some snacks and Topo Chico (the best bubbly water ever) waiting for me on my arrival.

Nick was always responsive and very friendly via text."
1905791,50548871,2015-10-12,30281436,Anette,"We had a wonderful time in Austin, Martha Elenas home is very welcoming and comfortable. We only met Martha Elena one time but she was always very fast to answer any questions that we had. The house is located a few minutes walk from 6th street, neighborhood was cute and welcoming! Five stars, would def recommend! "
2360549,10911425,2014-03-12,9220165,Rodolfo,"Jenny is a great host. Made for an amazing time in Austin. Great location within a short walking distance of all events downtown. The apartment is super comfortable, extremely clean and nice, with a very comfy bed. Loved grabbing a beer with Jenny too! Highly recommended."
2360549,28376590,2015-03-23,4827209,Kim,"Jenny's place is a cosy apartment in a quiet condo, just a short walk from downtown Austin. The hip neighbourhood of SoCo is also just minutes a way in walking distance. Jenny is the perfect host, with a quick response in case you have any questions regarding the apartment. Loved this place, and would gladly visit again."
3662216,28161434,2015-03-19,14288720,Kristien,I booked this room for my 4 male colleagues for SXSW Interactive. My colleagues informed me the house was very clean and comfortable with all the amenities they needed. I got to see the place one night and thought it was lovely. The shower in the master aaas big enough for 10 people!!! Ric was very responsive when they needed an extra bed and when they had issues with their lock combination. The location was easy for them to get downtown in 10 mins on bikes. Overall a great experience for my colleagues. 
1655266,30736530,2015-04-26,54695,Charlie,Very nice place. Great location for visiting Austin. Jennifer was an excellent host. 
1655266,33287721,2015-05-26,21981742,Andrea Joy,"Clean, charming and peaceful are all accurate!  We had a great stay in Jennifer's apartment.  She was very communicative through text and e-mail.  Her home is in an older building with everything we needed, and the bed is very comfortable!"
6004992,30832046,2015-04-27,31069594,Mike,"The apartment was exactly as it appeared in the pictures. Very nice! Great location, many restaurants to walk to or a 5 minute uber to just about everything. Would stay again when I come back to Austin!"
6004992,32000074,2015-05-12,1495253,Helena,"We had such a lovely time in Leon and Stella's impeccable place. Everything was really clean and so welcoming - there was even a little pitcher of milk in the fridge for our coffee (really welcome as we arrived at 2am after a delayed flight). We took advantage of the deck for relaxed morning time, then walked to the touristy South Congress area for shopping/drinks all day. On Sunday we drove out to Carson Ranch for Austin Psych Fest. This place is the perfect haven for a visit to Austin. We loved the quiet residential neighborhood with interesting architecture and tons of cool yards. Highly recommend! "
6004992,33832278,2015-06-01,22591044,Steph,"This was my husband and my first airbnb experience and Leon and Stella's place was a great one to start with. Leon was super flexible and nice meeting me to give me the keys and show me the place. They even had some coffee beans at the ready so we didn't have to wander to find coffee our first morning in Austin :) The space is perfect, quiet and in a great residential pocket right between two stretches of great restaurants and cafes. (1st ave and Congress) It's also a very short bike ride right to the heart of downtown. We walked to dinner/brunch easily from L&S's place. We were tired one night and stayed in and it was super relaxing to hang out on the porch and later watch some netflix. This space is perfect if you're looking to be close to great places to eat and things to do but still have a quiet neighborhood feel at night."
6004992,34077622,2015-06-04,27505905,John,"I was able to meet both Stella and Leon. They were delightful. I didn't see much of them. Every now and then I could hear them upstairs, but only a few footsteps. They were gracious, and inviting hosts."
6004992,42466494,2015-08-13,7361813,Austin,"The house was clean, very well decorated and in a very convenient location. I used the kitchen daily. Nothing but great things to say about this spot. "
6004992,49120112,2015-10-01,23343330,Jason,Leon and Stella's place is awesome. We stayed there for a month and it had everything we needed. It's nice and clean and everything works. Tons of natural light and just a really pleasurable place to hang out. Can't beat the neighborhood either. 
1206482,8012102,2013-10-12,1545100,Erin & Nat,"Theresa's place is gorgeous! Light & airy, full of tasteful furniture, with a super-comfy bed & a gorgeous kitchen. I was on a work trip and this was a great spot to work, then pop over to South Congress for delicious food (faves: Hopdoddy's, Sugar Mama's, and Bouldin Creek) & fun shopping. The back porch was a wonderful spot to work on my laptop. Great stay."
1206482,8407149,2013-10-29,5254508,Abigail,"We were in Austin for the film fest and it was a pleasure to come back to Theresa's place every night.  It's got a great vibe, super comfortable, and spacious.  Great back yard.  All the amenities you could ask for, especially grateful for the bottles of pellegrino on hand.   The location is fantastic, very close to the main drag of the soco neighborhood, and a short drive to downtown or eastside.   Theresa is a wonderful host, super friendly, accessible during our entire stay, and gave really good eating recommendations from brunch to a quick taco on the go (torchies).  Highly recommend the place & would stay again next trip."
1206482,8826959,2013-11-19,9890555,Sergei,Theresa is an excellent host. Beautiful location and very nice house. Great experience through Airbnb
1206482,10900574,2014-03-12,10932551,John,"Theresa was a gracious host!  Her home was clean, stylish and very comfortable.  I had a wonderful experience."
1206482,13616066,2014-06-01,1445111,Patrick & Kristy,"Theresa's bungalow felt like home to us thanks to her fun decorating eye. It's conveniently located near all the Soco goings on, but still manages to make you feel like you're in your own little world. The back porch is a great place for a meal or to watch a thunderstorm. Just thinking about the house to write this review makes me want to book another trip. 

Theresa was communicative and generous. We felt like we knew her after just a few messages. Airbnb is great because of people like her."
1206482,16615678,2014-07-30,16243678,Mark,Theresa was flexible with our requirements and has a truly unique and nice house. This is a uniquely tasteful little getaway in a good area of Austin.
1206482,21892333,2014-10-26,5041927,Tamara,"Super location: quiet neighborhood just a 5 minute walk from South Congress shops and restaurants. Charming, artistic home with a magical back garden. "
7347459,38958109,2015-07-19,38551505,Chelsea,Madeline was a wonderful host and always easy to contact! We had some car trouble that caused us to be almost 3 hours late but she was very patient and understanding.The apartment was gorgeous and tidy with a beautiful patio. Easy to find overall with lots of parking. Madeline had even left out breakfast scones and ground coffee for us. We had a lovely stay and would definitely book with Madeline again!
7347459,40032618,2015-07-27,38964649,Chris,"Well this was perfect. The location and coziness of the apartment combined with Madeline's responsiveness made this 2-night stay pleasant. Plus there were breakfast muffins and coffee (the good stuff) waiting for us. We just felt like we got way more than we expected, and that's always a good thing."
7347459,44991776,2015-08-30,40516802,Lake,"Madeline left instructions for us about fridge space & clean up, and her contact info so if we needed anything we could easily text.  In the card she left, she seemed friendly, and left us Scones & Cinnamon Bread from Trader Joe's, which were delicious (of course).

We did end up rearranging some of her stuff in the fridge to make space for all of our groceries & leftovers. We reheated our food in the oven, and enjoyed the kettle for hot water & the coffee pot for some morning joe (thanks, Madeline!).  She also left plenty of towels so when we hit Barton Springs we had enough for all of us.

The bedroom with its' queen bed was comfortable, and the couch transformed into a second bed that our kids shared. Madeline left us plenty of sheets to make the couch into a bed, and the TV in the living room ran Netflix perfectly for our little ones.  The Fetterly home was picked up & decorated nicely, with a modern flair. It's not the same as staying in a guest house that is empty - you are indeed staying in their home, so keep that in mind, but I think Madeline tried well to make it as comfortable as is possible when you vacate your home for guests.

Madeline's house is close to just about everything.  We watched the bats from the top of the Radisson hotel our first night in Austin and  visited Barton Springs the following day & had ice cream at Lick Honest that evening.  We visited Whole Foods & as we drove around, we could certainly see that the evening scene is Austin if you love music &/or alcohol - it's a popping place to be!"
7347459,49749813,2015-10-05,45591192,Andrea,"Madeline made us feel right at home! Her home was cozy and clean. She had dishes for us to use out on the kitchen table along with some delicious homemade banana bread. She had a personalized note printed out that left us some instructions for the weekend, and also some tips on getting to ACL fest (our reason for staying). Although we couldn't park in the parking lot, finding a spot to park on the street was very easy and close. There was also a balcony with a couple of comfy seats that my boyfriend and I liked to sit out on before bed. We loved staying here, and I would definitely stay again."
7347459,50624770,2015-10-13,39358154,Richard,"Madeline was very welcoming to our group... There were muffins from Trader Joe's and a nice welcome letter on the table. We loved the neighborhood and having Taco Deli right around the corner was a plus! The place was extremely clean and had all the amenities necessary for a wonderful stay, which it was! We chose this location so that we could walk to ACL Fest. Madeline left great instructions on the best route to the festival and we gladly took her advice. We also chose to eat at Texas Land and Cattle and IHOP at the end of the day which helped break-up the walk back to the apartment. Being able to walk to ACL this year helped give our festival experience a much more local vibe. Thanks to Madeline for making our choice to use AirBNB worth it!"
5457288,27821858,2015-03-12,557111,Traylor,"This place is a winner!  One of my favorite places in Austin. I will definitely stay here again. Clean, comfortable, and easy.

Thank you!"
5457288,30713187,2015-04-26,30717934,Gina,"The little house is just lovely, very secluded and peaceful.  I felt almost like I was in a tree house with the sky lights and all the green surrounding the house.  I love the way it's decorated so simple and interesting.  Very nice neighborhood and so close to everything.  I will stay here again, I loved it! "
5457288,31011658,2015-04-30,27849923,Tim,"I could 't be happier with my stay! The place was great, plenty of awesome restaurants in walking distance, and Annemarie was as friendly as can be.  Couldn't recommend any higher."
5457288,31275402,2015-05-03,8156556,Jay,"Annemarie is such an intuitive host. She's available to answer any questions you have about Austin, while leaving you to privacy to relax and enjoy the well-designed, very comfy space.  It's a peaceful green haven in which to watch the sun and shadows change during the day, listen to the birds, and sink into a slow Austin pace. The neighborhood is tree-lined and quiet, and it's a perfect central location to get anywhere you need to go for food and fun."
5457288,32024224,2015-05-12,5635358,Rose,"A wonderful experience, Anne Marie and the home was just beautiful. Could not fault anything! She was super flexible with our arrival times and there to help us if and when needed. Wish we had more time there. Have to mention the stunning decor and probably the most comfy bed I have ever slept in. Thank you for everything. "
5457288,32569826,2015-05-19,7633830,Julie,"Do you like modern design? Do you like lots of natural light? Do you like waking up to the sound of mourning doves cooing? Then the Skylight Modern is for you! Annemarie is a most congenial host and everything was perfect. Neighborhood is extremely quiet yet right in the middle of the Austin-ness that is Burnet Road. Lots of restaurants, bars and shopping. The HEB is just up the way for groceries. Great location right near 2222, Mo-Pac, 183, Lamar Blvd. "
5457288,32985721,2015-05-24,7498563,Vicki,We loved our stay. We will come back next time we come to Austin.

5457288,36494716,2015-06-28,5894093,Erika,Great place and super location. I rented for my dad while he was in town.
5457288,37203516,2015-07-05,9430116,Stephanie,"I absolutely LOVED my stay at the Skylight Modern. The decor was restrained but comfortable and warm. The space is SO cool! Very modern and well-designed. It was small, but very efficient so I never felt cramped. I wish my stay was more than a few nights, I would have loved to use the kitchen while I was there. 
The bed....oh the bed! I had some of the best sleep of my life in that comfy bed. 
Anne herself was very friendly and accommodating. When I had an unexpected extra guest needing to use the pull-out couch, she was happy to come over and help set up. She was also very responsive via text message. 
I would absolutely stay at Anne's little house during my next Austin trip. Thank you Anne!"
5457288,38631971,2015-07-17,557111,Traylor,"With a very busy schedule this trip, it was especially nice to come ""home"" to this serene and cozy space. I always recommend it. Thank you again Annemarie. "
5457288,41483124,2015-08-07,36141574,Sharon,The Skylight Modern home is awesome.   The location is great. Close to everything but also very private and quiet.  I highly recommend this adorable home.
5457288,46040241,2015-09-07,4169737,Mara,"Annemarie's place is terrific.  Very clean, cool architecture, comfy bed and pullout couch.  We loved the space and it was in a great location in the city for checking out all Austin has to offer.  Annemarie was very responsive from booking to checkout.  We stayed for two nights with our 4 year old daughter and thought the basket of toys Annemarie left for her to play with was a very thoughtful touch."
5457288,46826288,2015-09-13,25556478,Melina,"Annemarie's place was perfect for our weekend getaway. We enjoyed everything about our stay. The space felt cozy and roomy. We loved the way the house looked in the photos, but it was even better in person. The neighborhood was cute and very close to downtown and all the other places that we visited. Annemarie made us feel very welcomed. She let us know to inform her if we ever needed anything, which was very comforting. We'd definitely recommend The Skylight Modern to anyone who was interested. "
5457288,47535271,2015-09-20,43371861,Mary,"We (2) stayed in “The Skylight Modern” for 4 vacation nights and loved it.  Though the expanded description on the website is accurate and thorough, the little house is better because of the combination of panache and comfort.  It was clean and is a very well equipped, comfortable, roomy, spectacularly designed little guesthouse.  The bonus is it’s wonderful vintage industrial-chic décor and sky-lighted high angled ceilings.  The bed was very comfortable, the towels large and fluffy, the shower larger than the photo conveys, and the bathroom’s Brazilian wood walls beautiful.  Annemarie was very pleasant and responsive to our few questions and one request.  “The Skylight Modern” is located in a quiet neighborhood, not far from a supermarket, drugstore, shops, restaurants, etc.  If we ever return to Austin, we’ll try to book it though, once word gets out about it, it may not be available without reserving months in advance.  Right now, it’s a great deal and a wonderful home-away-from-home. This was our first airbnb experience and we can only hope any future ones are close to “The Skylight Modern” in desirability.  "
5457288,49114576,2015-10-01,40525217,David,Annemarie is always incredibly welcoming and I look forward to getting a chance to say hello any time I stay here!  Could not be happier with my experience.
5457288,51312727,2015-10-19,7959272,Shervin,"Annemarie was a gracious host, even when we were in and out of the unit constantly for a wedding. The place is gorgeous, and has inspired us to try to build a small house just like this in the future. Highly recommend and next time we're back in Austin we will definitely come stay here!!"
5457288,51753239,2015-10-24,21913966,Kelly,The place is even more beautiful in person! Annemarie was a great host. The location is super convenient to downtown Austin and the airport. Highly recommended!
2028500,10140164,2014-02-02,3235866,Christine,"The house has nice local restaurants within walking distance, its close to the parks and easily accessible to get into the city from the highway. The neighborhood is an eclectic mix of nationalities and ages. 

The photos didn't represent how the place actually looks as the owner was in the midst of being updated. The owner let us know ahead of time about what would not be at the house, which was fine. 

Overall its a good location, clean and great value in Austin. We enjoyed our stay. Jason is a great host & quick to respond to all of our questions and needs upon arrival. "
2028500,10285945,2014-02-10,11981496,Mike,"A group of friends and I came down to experience Austin, and needed a place to accommodate 6. Jason's place provided ample space and some great entertainment! Jason was polite and provided us everything we needed (from restaurants, breweries, and fresh pack of UNO cards and Dominos). This place was truly a hidden gem!!! Thanks for a great stay, we will definitely be coming back!"
2028500,10401758,2014-02-17,11165917,Angela,Jason was a great host. The place was just what I was looking for.  Everyone had a great time. 
2028500,10988404,2014-03-16,12681637,Edwin,Great spot! Perfect place to crash during SXSW.  Close to downtown ($15 taxi or 60 minute walk) and plenty of space for everyone to stretch out. Would definitely stay here again if I am ever to return to Austin.
2028500,11021681,2014-03-17,8778696,Amy,"Jason's place was a perfect spot to stay at during SXSW.  Comfortable and a great location, pretty amazing to have the pool too!  "
2028500,11102105,2014-03-20,2247453,Dave,"We loved Jason's apartment so much that we ended staying an additional night. The apartment is bright and spacious, and contains everything you would ever require and more, it also happens to be in a great location for exploring Austin. Jason is clear and precise in all communications. Thanks again."
2028500,11225442,2014-03-25,786,Emmett,"Space looks exactly as you expect in the pictures. Getting access, parking, etc. all went smoothly. Definitely recommend.

Only surprise: there are no fewer than 4 beer brand signs hung throughout the apartment. See if you can find all 4! "
2028500,11289668,2014-03-28,13207695,Anne & Aaron,"Jason impressed us first with his timely and encouraging communication.  Next, we were impressed with his place!  His apartment/condo has plenty of room, especially for the very affordable price; plus, it is clean and minimally/tastefully decorated.  Since it's on the ground floor and has a separate entrance, there is no need to climb stairs lugging suitcases or run into neighbors.  Parking is free and we had no problem snagging a close spot.  We found everything we needed for the 2-night stay available.  
The location is super accessible... just a zip off of the interstate (easy to find!), only a 5-minute drive to the downtown ""hip"" area of Austin, and similarly close to the University of Texas (which has a fantastic art museum on campus!)  
Jason made us feel comfortable about the whole process (this was our first trip using ""airbnb"" hosts); he's helpful, professional, and thorough!  His directions are understandable and his check in/out system is a breeze.  We recommend Jason and his listing!"
2028500,11331932,2014-03-30,8115122,Kelly,"This apartment was great! I rented it for a bachelorette party, and it was a great space - it was clean, spacious and we all really enjoyed it! 

Jason was also a great host, and very responsive to any questions I had! "
2028500,11356837,2014-03-31,12353137,Shannon,"Thanks to Jason we had a great experience! The apartment was clean, modern and everything we expected. Jason stayed in communication with us before, during and after our stay which was greatly appreciated! "
2028500,11470609,2014-04-04,12902379,Annabelle,"Jason was super hospitable and his place was a great for my parents and I to stay during our first trip to Austin together. The exterior of the place seemed old so I was surprised to find it so different on the inside. The furnishing were very modern and the apt had everything one could need for a weekend stay. It was so close to DT Austin and because it was right off the highway, it was easy to travel to and fro. I highly recommend this apartment during your next stay in Austin, TX!"
2028500,11545615,2014-04-07,2248607,Luke,"We enjoyed our stay here and would, without a doubt, come back and stay another time"
2028500,11700473,2014-04-12,13919966,Karen,"Very comfortable and spacious, clean and modern design.  Easy location to get anywhere in ATX.  Excellent place all around."
2028500,11745730,2014-04-14,11490084,Meghan,"I recently rented Jason's house for a bachelorett party for a group of 7. His spot was the perfect size and in the perfect location. We were minutes away from everything we did that weekend, and we did quite a bit. I can't thank Jason enough for making such a special weekend happen for me and my group."
2028500,11878770,2014-04-17,1482153,Mike,"Jason was kind enough to let me book his place the day that I needed it...I had late notice nod needed two beds and he was able to accommodate that perfectly. His place is nice and definitely convenient to all of the things central, SoCo, Downtown, etc...

I only needed it for two people...but it would definitely not have any problems accommodating many more.

Jason was prompt and clear with any and all (email hidden) was a perfect experience, exactly what airbnb is supposed to be. "
2028500,11902266,2014-04-18,12088059,John,"My S/O and I stayed at Jasons condo for a show over at Emos.  The space was exactly as described and more.  Was impressed by the ""Nest"" thermostat and the AppleTV. Great touch!  Very comfortable and spacious.  Kitchen was full of everything you'd need for a great stay as well.  We would definitely stay here again!"
2028500,11979728,2014-04-20,1765398,Ian,"Jason's space was great, exactly as described and as seen in the images. He made everything easy, with no complicated hassle. My friends and I were able to have a great time in Austin with a great place to come back to at night, not too far from downtown, the river and 6th street. And most of all we were each able to have a bed to ourselves. 
"
2028500,12036487,2014-04-21,9452953,Jose,Very close to centre Austin. Photos show as the apartment really is.
2028500,12241561,2014-04-27,12899976,Erin,"Jason was very prompt and clear in communication. The apartment was very clean and well stocked, it looks just like the photographs. The neighborhood/condo complex is quiet and convenient to South Congress, downtown, parks and swimming holes. We had a great trip to Austin! Thanks Jason. "
2028500,12457931,2014-05-03,3579603,Samantha,"My boyfriend and I LOVED our stay here at Jason's lovely apartment. We would love to stay here again. Very clean and pristine, well furnished, and a perfect place to decompress after a long day of walking and sightseeing. It was very accessible to busses, which was very much appreciated as we were doing a lot of public transportation. "
2028500,12779772,2014-05-11,11719281,Georgia,Jason's place is fantastic. It was great to have space with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It's steps from buses making it easy to get just about anywhere! Jason's instructions were clear and concise and there was no trouble checking in or out. Will definitely stay there again next time I'm in Austin!
2028500,12976206,2014-05-16,13920236,James,"1-. Very easy to get there.... 
2.- Everything was according to the instructions 
3.- The apartment was clean and all the appliances in good working order 
4.- Wi-Fi fast and reliable. 
5.- The beds were the type that's make it difficult to get up on time..... Great 
6.- Easy to rest and sleep, no high noise after 1900 hrs. 
7.- Stores and Gas Stations at Very convenient distance.

To summarize, you provided extremely good service. 
Also please note that we tried hard to meet your expectations by following your introductions."
2028500,13388130,2014-05-26,15715757,Bert,Wonderful experience!  Jason was a breeze to work with in staying at his place and responded lightening fast to any questions I had.  Recommend this to friends.
2028500,13582546,2014-05-31,10023668,Tom,"Jason's place has a great layout and feel to it.
If you're traveling solo like me or have a larger group in mind it is comfortable and accommodating to both. Wouldn't hesitate to rent agajn"
2028500,13913555,2014-06-08,14042192,Adam,"Jason was straightforward to coordinate with and made staying at the condo easy. The complex as a whole isn't quite as nice as the interior of the condo itself (and the community pool was a bit too questionable to consider swimming), but it felt reasonably safe and well-kept. The location is great with a quick walk to the bus to get downtown, and the unit was well-kept and as described. It worked great for a group attending a conference, as we needed lots of individual sleeping spaces, and this space delivered!"
2028500,14156757,2014-06-13,7402539,Bryan,Jason's place is a fairly clean & otherwise nice place that is unfortunately in a sketchy neighborhood. The location is pretty close to S.Congress & downtown Austin but would not recommend a single woman or 2 women staying there because of the surroundings. 
2028500,14806430,2014-06-26,1225765,Rob,"Jason's apartment is very clean, nicely furnished, and well maintained. There were only two of us, but it felt like you could easily fit a dozen people in there! Kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms were all clean and comfortable.

Unfortunately, we found the neighborhood to be on the sketchy side. Our experience may be an outlier (especially judging by the rave reviews here previously), but we witnessed abundant police activity responding to numerous incidents throughout the night. Big groups likely wouldn't think twice or mind at all, but the neighborhood might not be a great fit for singles or quiet couples. Geographically, a great location only a few minutes bike or drive away from sights and nightlife.

Jason, our host, was fantastic about our concerns and sought to make sure that we felt comfortable, handling the problems with our stay very professionally and courteously. I'd highly recommend him as a host."
2028500,15035092,2014-07-01,13977850,Amanda,"Jason was an excellent host, quick in response to any questions or inquiries we had.  The property was a little smaller than expected but it was clean and had an updated feel.  It was plenty large enough for our group of 4. I would suggest to bring towels with a group larger than this.  The space was clean and we took advantage of the wifi and the apple tv that were provided.   Location was a short drive to downtown 6th St. area and to S. Congress St. shops.  Excellent experience overall."
2028500,15346643,2014-07-07,8232944,Todd,"My father in-law and I were pretty self-sufficient.  We didn't need any supports during our stay.  I did ask a question during our stay and received a fairly immediate response from Jason.  The home location is pretty close to major roads.  We drove to the LBJ Ranch, Texas Whitehouse, and burial site in Johnson City one one day.  The next day we drove to San Antonio to see the Alamo.  My father in-law had a great time...and that is all that really mattered.  The furniture was better suited for some younger folk, but we older gentleman made it work.  Jason has an Apple TV device.  It was a little more sophisticated than we were able to figure out.  

Thanks Jason!"
2028500,15488892,2014-07-10,11881321,Simon,"All round great experience. Jason was a great host, his place has all you need to launch into Austin. The neighborhood was safe. The apartment was clean. Jason also provided us with great guidance for our first time in Austin."
2028500,15612070,2014-07-12,14677234,Bob,Jason's home was clean and as listed. Check in went very smooth and communication was quick and easy. Jason was also accommodating to our requests. Close to downtown.
2028500,15690035,2014-07-14,16152705,Rebecca,The apartment was very clean and nice. There was plenty of space for our party of 8. Everything worked. We really enjoyed our time at this apartment. The beds were comfortable. 
2028500,15911211,2014-07-18,4940884,Chris,"Jason is fantastic. Easy to get a hold of, and he responds quickly to any questions or inquiries. The place is very nice inside with plenty of couch space and beds. Also, the inclusion of apple tv is fantastic. The neighborhood was so-so. It is a little sketchy for my liking, there were a ton of cops though, which made us feel much safer. The nice thing is that the condo is located just off the interstate which makes traveling around Austin awesome and a breeze. Also, Congress Ave is very close, which is nice as well."
2028500,16096004,2014-07-22,3382644,Ashok,"Great location and great place to stay!  All that was missing was a speaker system to hook my iPod up to, but since I brought my own speakers it was no big deal."
2028500,16783978,2014-08-02,15994984,Gaynor,The condo was exactly as described and we had a really comfortable stay.
2028500,17152569,2014-08-08,16681467,Husna,Had a wonderful time staying in Jason's place with four friends! The place was exactly as listed and all of us slept comfortably.  It was also a quick uber to some nearby hotspots so was very convenient for us! Jason was also very responsive to a question we had prior to checkout and in general was accommodating and easy and pleasant to communicate with! This was my first time using Airbnb and it was perfect for my group's needs - I'd highly recommend Jason as a host! 
2028500,17481602,2014-08-12,5160021,Adenrele,Sizable apt suitable for 4. 
2028500,18922520,2014-09-02,12576491,Edwin,"The pictures represented the apt 100%. Perfectly located between the airport and downtown, it's the perfect place to stay."
2028500,19897935,2014-09-20,20975213,Kyle,"Jason's place was great. It was clean spacious and welcoming. It's well-located, and for the most part very quiet. I didn't have any problems. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are traveling with two to four people. "
2028500,20242019,2014-09-26,579939,Mike,"This spotless two-bedroom was a nicely decorated night pad that served our needs well. Very clean, comfortable, and a short Car2Go to downtown or anywhere else central. It even has a Nest, which will probably spend its whole life trying to figure out each new guest's particular schedule and temperature preferences. :) Never met Jason in person, but he seems like a friendly, helpful host."
2028500,21094015,2014-10-11,3103431,Jina,"Wonderful apartment, very clean, cool, comfortable. Jason was available via phone to help navigate into the place as well. Highly recommended!"
2028500,21203297,2014-10-13,15281126,Jay,Was all good. Place was as advertised. Not sure about the surrounding neighbour hood. But was what we needed. 
2028500,21470638,2014-10-18,9290157,Matt,"This is a great condo very close to everything Austin has to offer. Spacious, clean, comfortable, and well appointed. This was a very convenient place for three guys in grad school to base our week long Austin adventure out of. 

Some comments refer to the neighborhood... the neighborhood is not the gentrified Austin that some people want, however it is a great neighborhood and the complex is quite safe. This is a great place to stay at a great price."
2028500,21737420,2014-10-23,12982766,Robin,"The apartment was exactly as described. It was very comfortable having nice appliances and very well stocked with dishes and cooking needs. The location was the only thing we were unhappy about, not the greatest part of town, poorer and seedy as far as local residents perceptions we spoke to, but it had a very good coded front door and coded gated entrance so we felt adequately safe the whole time. Buses very convenient for us not having a car. No cable and local satellite came and went a bit but it was great having Netflix! I loved having two bedrooms and two full baths! And all the rooms had a great ceiling fan. Wonderful! Ac worked great too, though. Would recommend it to almost anyone but my mother-in-law. Lol! Jason was very quick to communicate when I had questions, and very patient when I asked questions that I could have known had I just read his house rules and the Airbnb email more thoroughly. "
2028500,21895165,2014-10-26,20864314,Tamara,Beautiful place clean and as described however neighborhood was not as expected.
2028500,22387071,2014-11-04,1610829,Jake,"Nice place, great location for the F1 and only minutes to downtown, Jason was easy to deal with and everything was as described, however being from out of town we didn't realise what a bad neighbourhood this was in, lots of sketchy people around Burton for the most part. - if you have a car then you should be fine, but I wouldn't want to walk anywhere  around the complex or its surroundings. "
2028500,22694668,2014-11-12,728390,Kristen,"The apartment looks exactly like it does in the pictures! Very clean and  well laid out instructions for check-in and out. Jason makes the process super easy. I didn't have a single problem! The neighbors were kind as well, always waving and saying hello.

The location is a short cab ride to anywhere you'd want to go, and there are a couple of good cafes/bars within walking distance. Check out the Buzzmill for sure. I particularly enjoyed the ability to  run to the riverside each morning.  I'd definitely stay here again and encourage you to enjoy Austin from this cool pad. 

Thanks Jason for the great space and experience!"
2028500,23082084,2014-11-22,11797718,El,"Excellent space, light and highly functional. Great kitchen. All as described. Jason was the perfect host - quick and helpful responses, even at night when I got mixed up with the key code. "
2028500,23306514,2014-11-28,4990733,Mary,"Jason had a very well taken care of apartment, very close to where we needed to be. Super clean and safe! My guests and I felt very at home and comfortable. Thanks again, Jason."
2028500,23331149,2014-11-29,12681204,Mark,The modern lock on the door is fancy and makes you feel safe there. House is fully furnished even with apple TV. Nice stay!
2028500,23868613,2014-12-13,9992251,Sunil,We had a great time in Austin.  Jason was easy to get in touch with and very responsive to our questions. The apartment was as shown in the photos: clean and comfortable.  The neighborhood doesn't really have much but it's a very easy to get to South Congress which is a great area.
2028500,24218599,2014-12-23,6577406,Harrison,"Jason was a very professional host, and a great communicator. Although I did not meet Jason, he made check-in very easy so that we could check in at any time. 

The place itself was great. Accurate photos give you an idea for size and lighting, and I wasn't disappointed upon arriving. All the furnishings are comfortable and the appliances are great quality. 

The location: It is located in a secure complex, and everyone we encountered seemed friendly. The crossroads of Burton/Oltorf could get kinda hairy, especially at night, but everyone there mostly minds their own business. In the other direction on Burton, it was fine. 

It is also great having a bus stop right across from the apartment; food, shopping and grocery options are all close by. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone as it represents great value and Jason is a great host."
2028500,25163425,2015-01-08,4630967,Carita,The place was clean and comfortable. No complaints!
2028500,25326437,2015-01-12,24983086,Michael,Great place & always responds quickly.
2028500,25425859,2015-01-15,19884382,Audris,"Excellent, clean, affordable apartment in convenient location. Jason provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions on everything I would need to know regarding the unit. Apartment was also furnished with several Austin magazines and guides in case we needed inspiration on what to do. Great place!"
2028500,25636558,2015-01-21,25349077,Jini,"This was my first time using Airbnb. It was quite interesting. Jason's place was nice with minor things I'd like to mention. First, there was a dead cockroach left by the sliding door which was pretty disgusting. Second,  perhaps it is my fault for assuming and not asking, but the bathroom next to the washing room had no doors. This was not mentioned in the description of the place. Another thing I want to mention is that if the guest are held to strict house rules than I feel the residence should be as well. The first night I had to knock on the wall because the neighbors were loud watching movie/TV. The time was past midnight. I did notify the host. One positive experience was the first night, the heater was broken, and the host took care of the situation asap. Overall it was pretty good experience. Thank you."
2028500,25705228,2015-01-24,17420720,Scott,Great spot to stay with plenty of room. Plenty of parking spots. Felt safe with the new lock on door. I would recommend.
2028500,25821511,2015-01-26,3751848,Katie,"Jason was a good host - quick to respond & easy to get in touch with. Staying at his place worked out well for our group - comfortable beds, nice amount of room for 6 guests. My only complaint (and it's minor) was that the second bathroom that is attached to one of the bedrooms does not have a door - just a curtain. Not a deal breaker for us but depending on different people's privacy levels & how many people will be staying it's worth noting as it was something I didn't think to inquire about before booking. Some other reviewers have mentioned the neighborhood not being the best or safest but our group never felt uncomfortable or unsafe at any time. Parking was easy as well. Overall it was a good experience & I would recommend it for your trip to Austin. "
2028500,26462066,2015-02-13,16370000,Joseph,"Jason was great at communicating, even when I contacted him the night of check in he was quick to respond and had all the information needed to enjoy our stay in the house manual. The location was great, quick trip to downtown and all it had to offer, gated so it felt pretty secure. Pictures are very accurate, apartment very comfortable and clean. The washer/dryer was very convenient. Would definitely stay there again. "
2028500,27042092,2015-02-24,2363775,Caleb,The reservation was canceled 24 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2028500,27320352,2015-03-02,25151864,Adriana,Jason was quick to respond and answered all my questions. Place looks very much like the pictures. 
2028500,27746498,2015-03-10,26268928,Joshua,"Jason was a great host and the space couldn't have been cleaner! I would definitely stay there again. Jason was quick to respond and help out when necessary, the whole week went pretty smoothly. Which hasn't always been my Air Bnb experience. Austin is also an amazing city so I will be back."
2028500,27967384,2015-03-15,28876743,Richard,"Overall I would say my experience with the apartment was positive. It was a nice size, and looks just like the pics. There was plenty of room for two of us, and there were two bathrooms which was nice. Also washer/dryer was a nice addition. 

I will say that I think more should be said, in the description, about the neighborhood, which is sketchy and run down, to say the least. I was fine coming here with a male work colleague, but I would never bring my family and children here. If I had booked this for my family I would have been very disappointed with the neighborhood, and mostly likely would have left and stayed in a hotel. "
2028500,28417037,2015-03-23,28642204,Richi,"Really nice place, comfy, not too far from downtown. Very practical, and packed with everything needed for a great stay in Austin. We were a party of eight, and we had a blast!
"
2028500,29716247,2015-04-11,17975113,Sancia,"Jason's place was great! We were given clear and simple instructions for check in and check out, the area is safe and the inside was nice and had everything we needed for a one-night stay. We had an early flight out but the stay 10 mins from the airport was well worth it. Thanks Jason!"
2028500,30434288,2015-04-21,26507246,Katie,"I like the area, it's quite and safety."
2028500,30662243,2015-04-26,25810362,Stacy,Jason is a super nice owner. The unit was very clean and spacious.  There were only towels really for one person for a few days stay so bring some if you do not intend to do laundry or you have more than one person in your party.  I would say that the complex isn't very good so if I was a single woman on my own I would not feel comfortable staying here.
2028500,31494308,2015-05-05,32207967,Michael,"The condo was exactly as depicted, the location was terrific and Jason made checking in and out a breeze with the coded access."
2028500,32078902,2015-05-13,29869739,Ian,Awesome place! Awesome stay! We had an incredible time in Austin and Jason's place was everything it said it would be!
2028500,32291995,2015-05-16,3601980,Céline,"The place is exactly what you want it to be, even better than expected ! You have a lot of rules to read and to respect but finally it's just common sens. Everything is really practical and so clean. Thanks !"
2028500,35625471,2015-06-20,12095598,Justin,"The unit was comfortable, it had the amenities I needed, and the host was punctual. 

However, I was expecting something different. The pictures and positive reviews led me to believe this place was a going to be a luxury modern condo in a nice part of Austin. In reality, this is a very well furnished/decorated apartment in a low income apartment complex  in a pretty bad part of town. "
2028500,37216297,2015-07-05,22342777,Madeleine,"The apartment was very clean and set up nicely for the stay, it was just  as advertised and what we needed. 

Communication with Jason was a bit off-putting, impersonal, and odd. When I emailed or texted with a simple question he would refer me back to a long email from weeks before  to sift through for the information I'd requested. To his credit the information was always there, but it would be more helpful to respond directly to the question (which could probably be answered in a sentence) rather than make me refer back to the ""manual,"" it just felt very off-putting. And he would not even discuss or entertain the idea of letting me arrive before 4:00, which is his right, but the hard line in the sand was very impersonal. 

The overly hand-off approach aside, the apartment was nice and comfortable. "
2028500,37814970,2015-07-10,20435819,Sarah,Host was very quick to respond and his manual was very detailed making the check-in and check-out process very easy! We were a little taken aback by the area...we were def looking for something different. We were concerned enough about the area to take everything out of our car. I would have left if I was a single female traveling alone as I felt the neighborhood was less than safe. The interior of the apartment was very clean and well-kept. We were a little frustrated about not being able to check in a little early as we were wanting to freshen up before our meeting but we were unable to do so. Overall it wasn't a bad experience and just an Uber ride to downtown however I would not stay in this location again. 
2028500,38792384,2015-07-18,38348736,Owen,Nice place.  Set up as a crash pad or home base for going out and seeing the city.  Great if you wanted to see south Austin like we did.
2028500,39091605,2015-07-20,36618721,Grace,"This space was perfect for our one night trip to Austin! Only about a $7 Uber ride to downtown - great location. The pictures depicted the apartment perfectly, and we had everything we needed! Thank you Jason!"
2028500,39391191,2015-07-23,2102945,Kelsie,"Jason's apartment was perfect for our needs. The community was quiet, allowing our group to study, and the location was very convenient for us. We would stay again."
2028500,40341663,2015-07-30,2703962,Haley,The condo looked just like the pictures. It was a clean place. Jason was so quick at answering texts - it was very easy to ask him questions. The location was just as expected. 
2028500,40871090,2015-08-02,39867972,Jed,Really great condo! Had a large group of 7 with us and everyone was quite comfortable. Highly recommended!! 
2028500,41973409,2015-08-10,36885230,Cathy,Absolutely great place! The location was perfect for a weekend that was full of activities in central Austin. The unit was very clean and well maintained and check in and check out were a breeze. Couldn't have asked for anything better for a big girls weekend in Austin. 
2028500,42636688,2015-08-14,33912189,Kate,Great condo and very convenient location. The space was clean and we felt very safe.  Jason sent us simple instructions for getting into the home and even had plenty of coffee for us to enjoy in the morning.
2028500,44266892,2015-08-24,36012948,Luis,Really fast response! I contacted him the day before my arrival and i was checking in some hours later. The place just as published in the app. Some weird neighbours but nothing to consider staying in another place
2028500,46131852,2015-09-08,36003250,Tien,"Jason did well to communicate with me and was enthusiastic about hosting our stay. The instructions give by Jason were very clear, yet long. The description of the location was quite accurate: walkable to restaurants, number of furniture, household appliances. The interior is exactly what you see but the complex isn't. The neighborhood looked less ""nice"" than expected but the people there were very nice. I wouldn't recommend walking out at night since the stores nearby are barred. "
2028500,46674643,2015-09-12,9876279,Rachael,The listing description was absolutely on point. We arrived to a very clean apartment with all the amenities put in the description. Jason was always available via text message when needed. Location is awesome!
2028500,48465414,2015-09-26,36677595,Sandi,"Jason's 2 bedrm condo off E. Oltorf was perfect for our stay!  My daughter & I enjoyed having the extra room and the rate was comparable to many tiny 1 bedrooms we've stayed in.  The pics are accurate, the place was clean and inviting, everything we needed.  It was also super convenient that we were able to have a code to come & go and no key to keep track of.  We never met Jason but he was very responsive and accommodating.  We would gladly stay in this property again and recommend it to our friends."
2028500,49117224,2015-10-01,918498,Marianne,"Great place to stay for a guys' weekend, but if you're looking for a well equipped kitchen or something cozy, you're probably better off some place else. That being said, as it was pretty bare bones, we didn't have to worry about our toddler breaking anything. It was also generally quiet. "
2028500,49408907,2015-10-03,15113394,Erwin,Great place to stay if you're visiting Austin. Close to downtown. Very clean and comfortable. If you're planning going with 2 or more friends this is the place. 
2028500,49875186,2015-10-07,32838032,Rodrigo,"Everything was great, and very centric... I was happy with my stay and felt like home. "
2028500,50749673,2015-10-14,1594071,Kahlia,"The apartment is one of many in a big sprawling block. It's functional, easy to maintain and had all the things we needed for the little time we spent there - coffee machine, washing machine etc. Good air con and fans are a god send. The small pool was great for a dip in the morning. Beds are a bit soft for my liking, but ok. 
The area is nondescript, and as far as we could tell, there's not much of interest in walking distance. It's quite a hike to the river if you make it. But it's only a 7 min Uber ride to South Congress, and a bit longer to downtown or the hip east areas. Also close to airport. It's also pretty close to the southern end of Zilkner park (near the springs) for ACL, to avoid the main drop-off. "
2028500,52646832,2015-10-31,20626005,Warren,"Good location. Just a short trip to 6th Street and heaps of fast food options for dinner within walking distance. 

The condo is set in a semi-large complex which has a pool (didnt get to use due to the storm) and is clean, tidy and has most amenities one needs while on holiday. The apple TV came in handy for the relaxing moments in the morning and afternoons when not adventuring Austin.

Didnt need to interact with our host too much as everything is set out in his welcome email and all went to plan."
9008312,52034135,2015-10-25,47061175,Julia,"Delia is truly an angel. We had some trouble with the weather and kept going back and forth on whether we should come or not, and she was completely flexible either way - which eased our stressful situation. Her apartment was cute, clean, and comfortable! She also has a great view and very safe neighborhood. "
1773482,19007661,2014-09-04,10829011,Catherine,"Erica was great. She answered immediately when we had confusion getting in the apartment, and generally stayed in touch just the right amount to make sure everything was going okay, while not being too intrusive. It was a totally smooth stay."
1773482,20099967,2014-09-23,7673373,Erik,"I had a wonderful experience at this location. The hosts were great, readily available and in constant contact with instructions and helpful suggestions. The apartment was clean, spacious and more than enough to fulfill my needs. I would definitely return in the future and recommend this spot to anyone looking for a comfy, cozy one bedroom in a fun location."
1773482,26686703,2015-02-17,11044023,Cate,"we had a great experience, clean and convenient location. the host was accommodating, we had all the privacy we wanted. i would definitely recommend this spot!"
1773482,46227554,2015-09-08,43007133,Traci,The location was perfect! The house was very nice. This was my first experience with renting someone else's actual place they live in. There was food in the refrigerator that looked very old. I didn't feel comfortable putting any of my personal items inside. The bathroom kinda shocked me since you can see right in the windows while showering. It took a little getting used too. All in all it was a nice place to stay and centrally located. 
5447711,28176264,2015-03-19,23446675,Will,"Had a great stay here. Apartment exactly as described and excellent. Allison was available throughout if I needed anything and the apartment was an ideal place to stay during SXSW. The breakfast stuff Allison left was an added bonus, particularly after a late night flight in. Would recommend, and would certainly stay again "
344976,10908964,2014-03-12,2192017,Thomas,"I had a fantastic stay at Adam's place. It's a great house and Adam is clearly into his interior design as the place is full of beautiful furniture. Awesome location in a quiet neighborhood just a short walk from South Congress with all its restaurants and bars. Booking, picking up keys, all the usual admin went very smoothly. I plan to come back here next year and wouldn't hesitate to recommend you stay here if you're ever in Austin. "
344976,48946021,2015-09-29,44498057,Greg,"This was actually my first experience with AirBnB and Adam made it a very memorable experience by accepting my request. This place is truly one of those Austin ""Hidden Gems."" From the location downtown, proximity to South Congress, and  to the interior design you can't go wrong go with this place. I will surely stay here again. "
344976,50644719,2015-10-13,9908916,Stephanie,We had a great weekend retreat. The centrally located eclectic house is walking distance from great restaurants in South Austin and the backyard is so inviting that you never want to leave. Adam is very accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. Don't miss an opportunity to be in satori while in Austin! 
344976,51367207,2015-10-19,6191089,Madeline,"My only hesitation in writing a review for this fantastic house is that we'd like to keep the secret to ourselves. The pictures don't do this unique property justice - it really is wonderful. The space is thoughtful and aesthetic, but also very comfortable and practical. The location is fantastic: walking distance to 1st Street, and an easy drive to SoCo. Adam was great to work with - very accommodating and responsive. We really had a wonderful stay and look forward to returning soon."
344976,52108329,2015-10-26,1445111,Patrick & Kristy,"I booked Adam's place for two of my coworkers and it worked out pretty well. It's nestled in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin. 7th Flag coffee is a short walk away and there are great restaurants, too. Downtown is a hop, skip, and jump away.

I think I'd probably only recommend this house for couples, though. The master suite is very, very (very) awesome. The 2nd bedroom and bathroom are just ok, though. One of my coworkers was staying at the Ritz and the other was in my grandparent's guest room. It was fine, but the one in grandma's room wouldn't be excited to stay again.

If you're traveling with 2, go for it!"
344976,53125040,2015-11-05,461525,Kimberly,"This was the best Airbnb I have stayed in. The location is perfect, walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops. The house was a dream, well decorated, clean, absolutely beautiful. Adam was a great host. He was communicative and timely with responses. I really really enjoyed his place and would recommend it to anyone! "
1913498,8990356,2013-11-30,10297450,Candice,"I highly recommend staying with Danielle!  I had an incredible time!  I spontaneously decided to ride the Megabus to Austin and stayed with Danielle.  There was a bus stop a block from her place which was extremely convenient since I didn't drive.  I hiked Lady Bird Lake and Greenbelt (awesome!).  I love Mozarts coffee too - right on the lake. I think Flipnotics had great coffee and was pretty cool too.  Went to a tailgate party and checked out the infamous tacos at Juan in a Million.  Danielle was a great host and her place is sooo cute!  I enjoyed reading on her deck, playing the guitar, and slept great.  I had access to the kitchen and anything I needed.  There's a corner store a few blocks away that has great breakfast tacos, wine, etc.  I can't think of any negatives.  I truly enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely stay with her again.  Oh yeah, this was my first time trying airbnb!  So happy it was a success :)"
1913498,9261165,2013-12-16,2156592,Josh,"The Swede Hill Chalet was beautiful rustic modern home with unexpectedly delightful architectural features.  Lots of natural light pouring in from the cathedral ceiling skylights.  Glorious polished marble bathroom finishes and very clean! 

Danielle was an amazing hostess!  She pointed me toward some great sites around the city.  Being it was my first time in Austin, Danielle helped me out with all of my questions.  She even offered a guitar for me to play, which I loved. 

The location of the Chalet is very close to all that Downtown has to offer.  You will have no issue navigating around the city from here. I would definitely come back to stay here again.  Hopefully very soon..."
1913498,9310581,2013-12-20,1276512,Eline,"Danielle's place is the most beautiful cottage-like house. Super clean, a warm and cosy veranda and very comfortable bedroom. Danielle was very welcoming, with great tips for our stay in Austin and our following road trip through Texas. I would highly recommend staying here when you visit Austin, it's next to downtown and next to an area with lots of nice bars and restaurants. We had a great Austin experience thanks to Danielle and here lovely cottage! "
1913498,9376807,2013-12-24,7620456,Kiralee,"We simply could not fault our stay at Danielle's chalet. It was immaculate and as delightfully presented as suggested by the photos on airbnb. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and we appreciated the extra little things like the toiletries and beautiful towels. In a lovely area within easy walking distance of 6th st. Danielle was a wonderful host; we felt both welcomed and at home, as well as provided with plenty of privacy. I only hesitate leaving such a positive review as we don't want this place to be booked out when next we are in Austin!"
1913498,9728429,2014-01-06,3268812,David,I had a short but wonderful stay at Danielle's place.  Danielle was very welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed.  The house is wonderfully decorated and extremely clean.  I would have liked to spend more time in the area - I guess I'll have to come back!
1913498,9822630,2014-01-12,11077223,David,"This was our first AirBnB experience and it was perfect.  Danielle was the model hostess and her home was clean, neat, and just as described.  We had great communication throughout the entire stay.  She gave my wife and I complete privacy and the coffee shop that she recommended, just down the street, was great with typical Austin flair. I hope that we are able to stay at her home again."
1913498,10429409,2014-02-18,959066,Kate And Kevin,The house is great. Its a convenient location to downtown and to UT. Danielle was very accommodating and left us everything we needed. We would highly recommend this air BnB.
1913498,10740967,2014-03-05,10461155,Niki,"We had a lovely stay with Danielle and her girls. She was very accommodating, and made us feel comfortable in her home."
1913498,11178030,2014-03-24,12092043,Salena,"This was my first time staying at a bed and breakfast, so I did not know what to expect.  Danielle was a perfect host.  She made us feel right at home.  Her home clean, comfortable, and cute!  I would definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin."
1913498,11785476,2014-04-14,8131708,Alli,"Danielle was an awesome host. SO NICE. My BF & i booked completely last minute (the day of) & Danielle got back to us super fast which was a huge stress relief. Danielle lives in the house with her daughters but we barely knew they were there the first night & the second night there was no one in the house which really made the stay epic. We'd been travelling in Texas for 10 days & i was really ready for a quiet place to stay. Bathroom was awesome. My bf died when he felt the sheets by the way lol so soft. We would stay here again, the location was EPIC. Danielle also was great & left us little Avada shampoo and soap. "
1913498,12283271,2014-04-28,3226590,MaryBeth,"This was our first stay in an airbnb and Danielle did not disappoint. While my husband and I certainly enjoyed stimulating conversation with Danielle, she and her daughters offered us all the privacy and space we desired on a relaxing weekend away.  And relax we did with a comfy bed, soft sheets and fresh towels. What at treat to stay so near downtown and experience Austin like a local!"
1913498,15298033,2014-07-06,17618045,Sarah,Danielle was a wonderful host. She graciously accepted our reservation despite the last minute booking. Her home is spotless and beautifully decorated. We would definitely stay with her again!
1913498,18761528,2014-08-31,20376451,Mike,Danielle is a charming host and her home is lovely....newly renovated and beautifully kept.  We’ll definitely be back!
1913498,19821892,2014-09-19,18270303,Colleen K.,"Danielle met me on her porch as my airport taxi arrived.  Her home was lovely, welcoming and spotless.  The remodel of her home is impressive.  Her neighborhood is interesting and is close to downtown.

It was a pleasant 1.4 mile walk downhill from her home to the Convention Center.   

"
1913498,20073338,2014-09-22,20350948,Julie,"Danielle was tremendous as a host. We contacted her on short notice and Danielle got back to us straight away. Her home is gorgeous, very clean and we found the extra touches like fresh water and flowers in our room welcoming.
The bed is so comfy, good air conditioning and a great porch swing to relax on. 
The area is safe, my 13 yo daughter and I walked to friends often and the neighbourhood is quiet at night. There is a bus stop just across the road and food / CVS shop and restaurants one  or two blocks away. 
Danielle is easily contacted and we are more than happy to recommend her and her home to others.
Love Austin too"
1913498,21563357,2014-10-19,8590880,Michael,Danielle was a great host and her house was beautifully decorated. It was perfect for walking over to the UT football game. 
1913498,21997426,2014-10-27,10715270,Susan,"Lovely experience. The home is adorable, the bed comfy, and the bathroom posh. Walking distance to convention center and several restaurants."
1913498,22552387,2014-11-09,4191020,Sam,"Danielle's home is beautiful and she was the perfect host -- very welcoming and friendly while also giving us our space.  Every detail was taken care of.  The house is walking distance to the Capitol (and beyond) so it was great for exploring all Austin has to offer.  If we ever go back to Austin (which I really hope we'll do) and her room is available, we wouldn't hesitate to stay with her again."
1913498,33189332,2015-05-25,27114461,Pamela,"Danielle's darling home was almost as cute as Danielle herself. From the comfort and the interior vibe to the old historic area location, this Swede Hill stay was pretty perfect.  We felt very welcome and comfortable and Danielle knows the area and Austin well, so she and her daughter could give really good advice and suggestions to visitors. This area is very walkable and has cute and delicious restaurants and shops"
1913498,34384279,2015-06-07,3520412,Kathryn,"Danielle was a wonderful and pleasant Host! She made me feel very comfortable and welcome in her home; where it felt like it really was my home too for the weekend. She allowed me to have my own space and privacy, while also taking the time to chat with me when I wanted to. I would 100% recommend this for anyone new, or returning, to Austin. "
8132299,45756179,2015-09-05,43041935,Molly,"Had an absolutely wonderful time :) Gracie was an amazing host, provided everything we needed and more, bedside cookies and waters, lovely home, and gave us a tour of downtown so we could feel out the scene where we wanted to go that evening.  If it were a hotel I'd give it 5 stars ;)"
8132299,46840201,2015-09-13,43814793,Ramiro,"This was my first time staying at an airbnb residence and was not sure what to expect.  The stay with Gracie Lopez and Teo exceeded my expectations.  They were both gracious and accommodating.  Their apartment was clean and they stocked my room with clean bed sheets, towels and plenty of pillows.  They even placed chocolate chip cookies and bottled water in my room.  Gracie's and Teo's home is close to a variety of restaurants and to Sunset Valley, where I was attending training.  The neighborhood is very lively during the day, but it was quite and peaceful at night.  I would stay with Gracie and Teo again."
8132299,47845414,2015-09-21,36233964,David T.,"Gracie and Teo have a lovely apartment in a neighborhood that is turning around. The accomodations were very comfortable, both of my hosts were lovely, and their little cat Gustavo filled the place with fun. "
8132299,48793154,2015-09-28,36314047,Jessica,"This was my first time booking a room reservation on Airbnb and it was a wonderful experience. Gracie and Teo were extremely accommodating and thoughtful. It was close to Austin International and the downtown area. Overall, you can't beat the price and service for a clean, quite, room that's close to everything. I would book again!! "
8132299,49485508,2015-10-04,19354274,Omar,"Gracie and Teo are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They took hospitality to a whole new level. They greeted us outside of their home, had cold bottled water for us as well as fresh baked cookies. They even had a pamphlet of places to eat and things to do in Austin  

Their home is very beautiful, clean and cozy. Also very centrally located. If there's anything you could need they will offer their help. They saved a huge hassle by offering to drop us off at ACL a large music festival. 

They truly treated us as their own friends, and not just guests. 

Overall I would recommend everyone to stay with them as they are tremendous hosts and even better people. Little Gustavo made the trip even better!! "
8132299,51305118,2015-10-19,7113655,Emily,What a perfect place to stay in Austin. Gracie and Teo are welcoming and gracious hosts who went above and beyond. The room and bed are very comfortable. And the cat Gustavo is absolutely adorably sweet. When we come back to Austin we will stay here again for sure!
5661024,28289257,2015-03-21,11553596,Alexander,Andrew's place was PERFECT for my weekend stay in Austin for SXSW. Close proximity to downtown and near the awesome Cherrywood Coffeehouse. Everything was exactly as pictured with Andrew's personality showing through via the delightful decor. The patio was my favorite spot to hang!  I'd highly recommend a stay at his cozy place. 
5661024,28368303,2015-03-22,2401252,Scott,"Andrew's place is nice and tidy on a quiet street but still close to East Austin bars, cafes and restaurants or a short cab downtown. The Cherrywood Coffeehouse around the corner has a good vibe if you just want to hang out."
5661024,28759726,2015-03-29,29888042,Mengzhu,Host was nice. Place was nice. Parking was easy. Close to everything. Would stay there again.
5661024,29803809,2015-04-12,30779444,Stephanie,Nice little house! Felt like a treehouse in the city. Super close to cool coffee shop/cafe and in a great eclectic neighborhood. Andrew was very nice and accommodating. 
7580640,41715644,2015-08-08,32189988,Brock,Great hosts. Made us feel at home and got us in so fast. Quick replies and are right there if you need anything. The house fit 7 of us comfortable and they even have an old Nintendo and arcade. I felt like a kid again. Will definitely use them everytime I am in Austin
7580640,41894633,2015-08-09,13562769,Blair,"This was my first time using Airbnb and it was a perfect experience. Zac was quick to respond and accept the reservation request and his communication before, during, and after the stay was just as efficient. We were traveling with both our dogs as well and he welcomed in all 5 of us. The beds were comfortable and the house was super clean and organized. He gave us a key to the house so we could come and go as we pleased and he also gave us great suggestions for dining out and places to go around town. We would definitely stay at Zac's house again next time we are in Austin!"
7580640,42990087,2015-08-16,41198964,Jerardo,"Great host, Zac was very quick to reply to texts and we had everything we needed. Would definitely book again. Place was clean and comfortable. "
7580640,44053267,2015-08-23,16750568,Ruben,I felt very welcome in Zacs home and the the area was perfect for what and where we needed to go.  The house was in good order and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.  I would recommend this location to others and would definitely stay again.
7580640,44857145,2015-08-29,5862955,Hannah,"We had a great stay. Zac was very responsive and flexible. The space was perfect for a large group. Very clean, great location, plenty of space. 10/10! We would definitely stay here again in the future."
7580640,45046822,2015-08-30,42775865,Ram Prasath,"Great house. Nice surrounding, clean apartment. Great place to stay"
7580640,45702811,2015-09-05,23343629,Andrew,"Zac was so nice and very responsive, the house was awesome!! We love this place!! I would definitely recommend this place to others!!"
7580640,46029592,2015-09-07,41664715,Hayley,The neighborhood was quiet and was not too far from anything we wanted to do. The house was super cute and fun on the inside. We played the game systems every night and hung out on the back patio for a majority of our stay. My dog getting to come with me and have a yard was by far the best part. Zac always responded promptly and had lots of fun ideas for us. 
7580640,46854089,2015-09-13,43718088,Andrew,"The house was awesome, and though or stay was brief, we had a great time. This is one of those places that you remember for how much character it's got. Thanks for everything Zac. I'll be staying there again, I'm certain. "
7580640,48006397,2015-09-22,1865563,George,"The house was convenient, comfortable, and stylish. A great base for exploring Austin. Excellent coffee, drinks, and restaurants right in walking distance. Zac is a welcoming and gracious host--and a jammin' bassist (we were lucky enough to catch his band (email hidden) on Rainey during our stay). "
7580640,49636300,2015-10-05,17890778,Zulema,This place was perfect for our stay in Austin ! Everything was walking distance and Zac's lovely home has so much character ! Zac was always quick to answer any questions and messages I sent and flexible with check in/check out times. 
7580640,50449125,2015-10-12,29662353,Rachel,"Zac was a great host! He was very very very accommodating, let us come in earlier than the normal check-in time and leave later than the check-out time. Got to chat with Zac for a bit when he swung by the house and he gave us some great recommendations for places to go and what not. We got to check out his band Sounds Del Mar at ACL and they were beyond amazing as well! 

The house was awesome and fit the 8 of us more than comfortably. The place had everything we needed. We got groceries just a 10 minute walk from the apartment and cooked a whole breakfast. The backyard was great and had plenty of space to hang out after a night out. Plenty of great spots within walking distance, got some amazing tacos with handmade tortillas, some cheap brat and mac n cheese and bomb Vietnamese food all within 10 minutes. Got to visit some great vintage shops and coffee places just around the corner too. Downtown and Zilker park were a quick uber/cab and the airport was just under a half hour or so. 

Can't say enough good things about the place!"
7580640,51238161,2015-10-18,46381265,Jake,This place was great and Zac is a great host. Serious character to this house. Such a great find compared to all the other boring townhouses I was finding. Great backyard and video games! It was really nice to be able to walk a couple blocks to good coffee and breakfast and cheap Uber rides to downtown.
7580640,52776735,2015-11-01,47285345,Dylan,"Awesome weekend house very convenient location, would definitely recommend this house to any group."
8539948,51254877,2015-10-18,46510592,Brian,"Our stay at Michelle Ritter's house was great!  They are a very nice couple and made us feel extremely welcome. They gave us free reign of the house and actually left for the night to make us feel like it was out place. Our room was great, the balcony and scenery is beautiful overlooking the Colorado River and Austin Hill Country. I would definitely go back and stay with them again!! "
8282438,50664189,2015-10-13,18894346,David,"Everything about our stay was excellent! Stephanie was very communicative leading up to our stay and responded quickly to questions. Stephanie was out of town during our arrival and stay, but arranged for a friendly and very competent person to check us in and be on call if we had any issues or questions. The apartment was clean, cozy and very nicely decorated. Location was great and very quiet while we were there. Just a great stay in every way."
1645518,8092003,2013-10-15,7942498,Bridgett,The cabin was wonderful! Diane and her husband made us feel right at home. We had everything we needed! The cabin had a great location and was very charming! I will definately be staying there my next trip to austin! 
1645518,8681336,2013-11-11,9868980,Robert,"Awesome, cozy cabin in Hill country.  Centrally located. Very nice, really comfortable. Felt like we were staying with old friends. Diane and Gary are great.  Definitely will stay there again when we visit the Austin area.  Loved it. "
1645518,9447135,2013-12-29,93388,Garrett,"Our stay at Diane and Gary's Cabin was great! You can tell that they take pride in taking care of their guests. In addition to all the amenities listed in the description of their very clean, modern cabin, they provided us with a few additional comforts that made our weekend memorable: juice and tasty muffins from a local bakery for breakfast; cozy socks for lounging around; and, popcorn for late night movie watching!

Do yourself a favor and rent from D & G."
1645518,10389858,2014-02-17,10946847,Shannon,"Very central, quiet and peaceful location!  The guesthouse was clean, modern and decorated with great detail.  The house has all the amenities listed and more....Diane has a great handy helpful list in the cabin, such as restaurant menus and a list of sites and attractions in Austin.  Our family of five, stayed here very comfortable for five nights.  We couldn't of asked for a better experience.  Diane and Gary were very helpful to navigate Austin and were always available right away to answer any questions and communicated very promptly before and after our arrival.  Diane and Gary are very kind and generous people and that warmth is felt inside this beautiful cabin.  We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin. "
1645518,10710951,2014-03-03,9323932,Kimberly,"What a gem! Pictures don't do justice to how cute this home truly is. And the owners were an even better treat! I found ""The Curly J"" cottage during a hunt for a last minute weekend getaway with my husband and 1 1/2 year old son and couldn't have been more pleased with the experience all around. Their home was well put together and exceptionally clean—and Diane and Gary were kind and helpful from our first communication through checkout (which made staying there even more of a pleasure). Location is the best bonus. Something quiet and off the beaten path was my goal (and this place really does feel that way), but it's literally just 15 minutes down 290 to SoCo — close enough for us to go back and forth downtown twice each day. We're already talking about finding another weekend to visit Austin and plan to stay there again, so I can confidently highly recommend this place to others.   "
1645518,10805611,2014-03-08,5998181,Sergio,We love visiting Hill Country and fell in love with the Guesthouse in the Woods. We definitely plan to return and stay in the this location every time we visit Hill County.  Its close enough to Austin and also other great small towns in Hill Country.   
1645518,10957830,2014-03-15,11797078,Vanessa,"Booked this house for a friend for SXSW. Diane & Gary were wonderful hosts: they were extremely accommodating and even left breakfast + snacks for everyone! House was clean & tidy. Plenty of space to fit 5 guests comfortably. Overall, a wonderful experience. I would certainly consider renting this property again. 

Two thumbs up for Diane & Gary! "
1645518,11024646,2014-03-17,12519502,Hana,"This was my first trip to book through Airbnb, my family and I couldn't have stayed in a more perfect home! Diane and Gary are the most welcoming hosts, they really know how to take extra great care of their guest. We enjoyed some of Diane's recommendations near the home and also ventured off into the city daily which is a smooth 20 minutes from the house. We enjoyed the quiet home in the woods and the wildlife. The house has everything you need from kcups for the coffee machine to a flat screen and speedy internet. I can't wait to come back and stay in this home! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend getaway!"
1645518,11165594,2014-03-23,13324898,Melanie,Curly J is a wonderful place to stay and we will be coming back often.  It is centrally located to everything. It was a pleasure to get to know Gary and Diane and they have done a great job with their guest house.   
1645518,11331715,2014-03-30,13065466,Kristen,"Diane and Gary were exceptional hosts.  Calling this a guesthouse is an understatement.  It felt like home.  Clean, modern, organized, everything you could need.  We loved waking up in the morning enjoying the beautiful hill country mornings on the patio with our coffee.  The rustic outdoors combined with modern comforts - tempurpedic bed, excellent wifi, modern kitchen, large flat screen tv with dvd player.  Thank you so much Gary and Diane!  We will be back on our next visit to Austin from California!"
1645518,11568885,2014-04-07,12800559,Lainie,"Diane and Gary were great hosts to a very pleasant stay in their guesthouse.  The house is much more of a cabin than guesthouse with 2 full bedrooms, full kitchen, and private patio. Surrounding area is super quiet and peaceful, perfect for a country getaway without having to travel into the country. **Bonus** the goats living in the pasture behind the house are AWESOME!"
1645518,11900171,2014-04-18,1632345,Hilary,"Great place! Awesome decor, great rustic location. Diane was great to communicate with. Perfect airbnb stay -- would definitely stay there again! "
1645518,12176848,2014-04-25,593248,Christy And Sam,"The Curly J is a WONDERFUL place to stay when visiting the Austin area, especially if you are looking for convenient access to the metro area but want to have the peace and quiet of the country. It is adorable, perfectly appointed and Diane and Gary are very helpful and friendly hosts. We didn't want to go home. We recommend it highly and look forward to an opportunity to return soon. "
1645518,12292879,2014-04-28,13705154,John,"Our visit was wonderful.  The place was very clean and a nice cozy retreat just outside of Austin and close to some great wineries, breweries and even a distillery in the Texas hill country.  Diane and Gary's guesthouse is well maintained and is the perfect setting for a hill country getaway.  "
1645518,12538403,2014-05-05,12831714,Jessie,"Wonderful experience! I stayed in the cabin with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding. We couldn't have picked a more peaceful place. It was exactly what we needed. Diane and Gary even brought us an amazing, homemade breakfast the morning of my wedding. They were such gracious hosts. I can't say enough positive things about this place. We'll be back for a staycation very, very soon. "
1645518,12906441,2014-05-13,1106070,Aaron,"Wanted some space and this was a great place. Quiet, Peaceful, and not too far from Austin. Spent some time with my dad and went out for drinks one night at an outdoor music spot nearby. "
1645518,13072375,2014-05-19,794959,Courtney,"My mom, boyfriend and I stayed here during my Masters graduation weekend in Austin, and we had a lovely stay Diane and Gary's guesthouse! The space is charming: clean and comfortable, and Diane's decorative touches made the apartment very special and inviting. As a previous commenter mentioned, the pictures really don't adequately capture how warm and cozy the house is. We loved having coffee on the back porch and found having a sink in each bedroom particularly convenient. The guesthouse is about a 20-25 minute drive from the center of town, but it is easily accessible during the day and night and being in Hill Country makes the extra travel time worth while. An unusually heavy thunderstorm had fried their wireless router the day before our arrival, and Diane and Gary were very quick to respond: alerting us, ordering a new router and working to install the new router as soon as possible. I really appreciated their responsiveness and attentiveness to our questions and concerns. I would highly recommend this space and these hosts!"
1645518,13376689,2014-05-26,15398283,Daniel,"This listing was the first we used from Airbnb, and a little nervous about what to expect. However, that all changed as soon as we set foot in the ""guesthouse in the woods"".  This was a perfect weekend getaway (or longer) for the two of us, but would work great for four guests as well. The guesthouse was very well furnished and the hosts offered a lot of great amenities. From leather furniture and a flat screen television, to full kitchen and all the utensils you need, this place had everything you could ask for.  The hosts were very friendly and provided a ton of great information on what to do in the area.  Additionally, they were always accommodating and prompt with whatever questions we had. I will definitely look this place up the next time I am staying in Austin or any surrounding area.  Thank you again Diane and Gary for all your hospitality, and we hope to see you in the very near future!

-Daniel and Casey"
1645518,14061417,2014-06-10,16301463,Jeremie,"We came for a wedding and my wife's birthday. There was a special message for us on the chalkboard and blueberry muffins in the fridge. The place was very clean (and they don't charge a ridiculous cleaning fee). Diane was very friendly and helpful. The goats are also friendly and love a good head scratching. We saw lots of deer and a few hummingbirds.  5 stars. Much better than any hotel, great price, and you feel like your deep in the hill country. 
Thank you Diane for a wonderful stay!

Jeremie and Stacy"
1645518,14650645,2014-06-23,16661145,Barbara,"My husband and I spent a magical, memorable weekend at The Curly J. I cannot recommend it enough! Diane and Gary were wonderful hosts. The communication before our trip helped us make plans so our weekend was perfect! She spent so much time the week before finding out what we were interested in, making recommendations, providing directions, etc. that we could tell that they really cared about helping us have a wonderful anniversary weekend.  The cabin was even better than we expected from the listing -- unbelievably comfortable Tempur Pedic mattress, full kitchen, huge flat screen with DVD player, terrific shower with hot water that never ran out, and beautiful surroundings (deer a few feet from the bedroom window one morning and cute goats to watch out back)). We met Diane and Gary when we arrived and knew that they would be there in a jiffy if we needed anything, but we had everything we needed at our fingertips so we had complete privacy the entire weekend -- just what we wanted. The weekend could not have been better. I have no idea why anyone would pay for a hotel room when they could have so much more at The Curly J for about the same price (or less). We can't wait to go back!"
1645518,14981524,2014-06-30,16180403,Kindra,"Fantastic accommodations in this charming guest house for our family of three, including an aspiring toddler. Beautiful countryside with wildlife sightings and short drive to town. Diane and Gary were excellent hosts. We highly recommend staying here to enjoy Texas Hill Country!"
1645518,18083011,2014-08-21,14769942,Travis,"This cabin was just what we'd had in mind and we had a lovely vacation here with our two young boys. We felt that it had plenty of space and a very ""homey"" feel. Diane and Gary were welcoming and friendly and extremely quick to respond to any of our questions. We also found their area guide to have lots of great ideas for activities and food. We would absolutely recommend the cabin to others. "
1645518,18790377,2014-09-01,12316629,Dustie,"Diane and Gary were very hospitable and made sure my arrival went smoothly and were very friendly. 

The house was so cute and the pictures don't quite do it justice. There has been great attention to detail in the decor and it is quite comfortable and cozy. They have gone above and beyond to make the home as welcoming as possible. 

We spent the mornings and evenings on the back porch talking, having coffee and watching the animals. Definitely some memorable moments and I truly loved the house. Would surely recommend and come back. "
1645518,20121308,2014-09-23,7829406,Greg,"My wife and I live in the area, but needed a week in between housing. Diane and Gary's ""Curly J"" was a wonderful little house to spend that time. It was very comfortable, with some interesting and eclectic touches (a woman might say ""cute""). The pictures really don't show the warmth and meticulous thought that went into the decor.

Also notable, is the addition of a huge flatscreen TV (and a great little blue ray / Netflix player) and upscaled appliances in the kitchen.

They were very accomodating hosts, and always reachable with a quick text.

Our home is nearby, so we will definitely be recommending the Curly J for out-of-town guests."
1645518,20809825,2014-10-06,7942498,Bridgett,It was absolutely perfect! Diane and Gary are great! This was my second stay and it won't be my last! 
1645518,21014414,2014-10-09,15132639,Keller,"This guesthouse was really incredible. It was cozy, cute, and I loved everything about it. The hosts were very gracious and we couldn't have asked for a better experience."
1645518,21132702,2014-10-12,20397762,Ann,"The Guest House is charming!  We loved our stay there.  It was perfect for the wedding we attended.  Thanks, Diane and Gary!"
1645518,22882260,2014-11-17,6793882,Nate,My folks stayed here while I got married across the road and they said:  The Curly J is a gem. It is just the right mix of Texas charm and luxurious comfort in an idyllic and private setting. Hosts Diane and Gary offer the right balance of attentiveness and privacy. We would definitely return and highly recommend to friends.
1645518,23364077,2014-11-30,8669707,Melissa,Wonderful experience from start to finish! Beautiful cottage - the pictures don't do it justice. 2 couples stayed while attending a wedding at the Inn and Wild Rose Hall and the location could not have been better! Plenty of space; we truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!
1645518,26539653,2015-02-15,15106524,Monique,"We absolutely loved staying here! Everyone is right, this place is a gem & the pictures don't do it justice! Great location for visiting wineries & loved being out in the hill country! Can't wait to go back! "
1645518,26939659,2015-02-22,10201456,Klint,"One word to describe our experience: Fantastic!  Diane and Gary are great people, great accommodations, very clean, great location, and the donkeys top off the experience! Highly recommend. "
1645518,27288103,2015-03-01,27839465,Zachary,"Beautiful house. Perfect for two couples, or a couple with kids. Very well maintained and comfortable. Great location - close to 290 and can serve as your gateway to the hill country."
1645518,28159237,2015-03-19,1489673,Hollye And Will,"The Guesthouse was adorable!  It was PERFECTLY decorated with all the special touches you would want from a Texas escape.  Diane runs it like a pro with lots of information about surrounding activities and restaurants as well as a  lots of Texas magazines and a dresser filled with any amenities you may have forgotten on your trip.

My two year old loved the donkeys!  They were the perfect level of entertainment for her and so sweet.  Diane was kind to leave us some donkey treats as well.  

I would definitely recommend her place for a couple or two looking to escape the city and get a taste of the fresh air in Dripping Springs.  We had a great time!  Thanks again."
1645518,28311909,2015-03-22,4034423,Karolyn,"First and foremost Diane was extremely available via text and telephone as my husband and I drove in from Midland, TX, because we became slightly turned around on 290.  She guided us straight to her door.  What a fantastic place to stay while we were in town for our friend's wedding at The Lookout (which was only 4 minutes away).  Comfy chair and couch, beautifully decorated and the kitchen was provisioned well beyond my expectations.  Despite the pouring rain, we had a wonderful stay in Austin.  Love those mini donkeys!"
1645518,28722573,2015-03-29,28370866,David,"Diane and Gary were wonderful hosts! They greeted us upon arrival to show us around the house and property. An extra treat was meeting their two miniature donkeys. It was the perfect size for a weekend getaway with friends.

The house is minutes away from great food (Salt Lick BBQ) and the Jester King Brewery. We can't wait to come back!"
1645518,29309056,2015-04-06,20955215,Mikaela,"My parents and I had a wonderful stay at the Curly J! We loved the rustic charm of the guesthouse and felt right at home as soon as we walked in. Very comfortable, clean and spacious.  Dianne and Gary were exceptional hosts, always readily available if needed and very accommodating. Being somewhat unfamiliar with the area, we appreciated the lists of suggestions on restaurants and activities to do in the surrounding area. We wanted to be close to Austin, Hamilton Pool, Lake Travis and the Salt Lick so this was in the perfect location for us. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The donkeys were a great touch as well! Hope to be back again in the near future. Thanks, Diane and Gary! "
1645518,29748900,2015-04-12,28778491,Stacy,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Curly J! The house and setting are so relaxing, and the donkeys are adorable. Gary was very welcoming and gave us some great ideas for places to eat and visit nearby.  The location couldn't have been better. There are so many things to do nearby and still come back to a quiet, country setting. We highly recommend the Curly J!"
1645518,30394026,2015-04-21,28935926,Nancy,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Curly J.  This is a very special, cozy and charming home, which offers all the amenities a travelling family needs.  Diane and Gary are delightful hosts and provided us with an abundance of information about their home and its features, as well as great tips for things to see and do in Austin.  We would love to have the good fortune of staying at The Curly J on our return trip to Dripping Springs, to visit our daughter and her family.  Thank you, Diane and Gary!  Nancy and Colin"
1645518,30658433,2015-04-26,21852901,Traci,Diane and Gary were such gracious hosts.  The home is perfectly decorated with several DIYs that I want to do in my home.  The donkeys were too sweet - our granddaughter loooved them!  Perfect hosts and a perfect place to get away to relax.  Thank you!
1645518,31238458,2015-05-03,31465348,David,"The house was much more than the pictures could convey. The interior decorations thrilled my wife who just couldn't see enough. The backyard patio, the birds and donkeys made for a pleasant afternoon. We will surely stay there again. The hosts could not have been nicer."
1645518,31833854,2015-05-10,16873678,Jason,"Diane and Gary made us feel completely welcome.  The house was even cuter than the pictures.  My family took one walk down the road and though there are no sidewalks, we saw no cars for 45 minutes.

This is a really short drive from downtown, so you can either stay in and enjoy the wildflowers or you can drive downtown to see the night life.

It's a really cute place.  We miss it already."
1645518,32390631,2015-05-17,30430092,Leigh Anne,"The Curly J was spectacular! My husband & I came to town for a wedding & chose this place & we were not dissapointed! Diane & Gary were so welcoming & friendly. The house was spotless & had every amenity you could imagine. We really loved sitting on the back porch & watching the wildlife, it was SO peaceful! Also, the mini donkeys Sunshine & Baby were the cutest & sweetest EVER. Gary even brought over a bag of carrots so we could feed them!! So much fun! We will definitely be back! "
1645518,32844890,2015-05-22,31465348,David,"This is our second stay in one month & we felt very comfortable coming back.   Diane & Gary open their home on the range & make us feel very welcome.   We expect to return whenever we are in the area & their home is available.

We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a home away from home during visits to the Texas Hill Country!

Special highlights on this visit were a deer with a baby that appeared to be newly born & a jackrabbit that was a big as any you've ever seen on a Texas greeting card!"
1645518,33137676,2015-05-25,9057456,Tamesa,"Diane and Gary were terrific hosts, and the Curly J was a perfect place to make memories with my two little nieces. The cabin was spotless and delightfully appointed, the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen well-supplied with cookware, dishes, etc. The girls' favorite part was the presence of Sunshine and Baby, of course, who were sweet as could be and very social. I couldn't ask for a  better experience, and I hope to get back here again some time!"
1645518,34201537,2015-06-06,24999616,Collin,"Gary and Diane kept in constant communication before our visit and were very helpful during the entire process. Check-in/out was a breeze and Gary was sure to stop by early to assist ""show us the ropes"". Our reservation ended on a Saturday and Gary and Diane even offered for us to stay another night. We were bummed to leave, but hope to return very soon."
1645518,34979996,2015-06-14,30971241,Nicole,"Our stay at the Curly J was so enjoyable! Diane and Gary were extremely helpful and kind! Diane even helped us find some fun things to do in the area to make sure we made the most of our time in Austin. The cabin was immaculate and exceeded our expectations. The decor was beautiful, the outdoors were stunning, and the mini donkeys were icing on the cake for our 7 year old son. They were so sweet when they came over to meet us, and even took extra time to show us their new baby Silkie chickens. We felt so warm and welcome! The location was perfect for our needs too, which was halfway between lake Travis and the city. Overall we can't thank Diane and Gary for all their hard work that was put into the home they so kindly share! You can tell the love and time that was put into the Curly J, and we hope to stay again soon! Ps- if you are looking for a good place to watch the sunset on lake Travis and don't want to wait for a table at Oasis, spend a little more and get a much better experience at Steiner Ranch Steakhouse! Best steak we've ever had, and we sat right next to Bobby Steiner who is not only the owner, but also a world champion bull rider! The view overlooks lake Travis and the history is really interesting. It's a must go!"
1645518,35701237,2015-06-21,34690742,Sheri,"We loved the cabin and the setting. It was comfortable and decorated perfectly.  We were close to good restaurants and beautiful Driftwood winery and had easy access to major roads to get to all of Austin's attractions all while being in the beautiful countryside. Diane and Gary were so hospitable and made us feel right at home. Sunshine and Baby, their donkeys, were so cute and friendly. We are looking forward to our next stay. "
1645518,37220524,2015-07-05,1731836,Libby,"Awesome, quaint little ranch house with everything you'll need for a relaxing stay in the Hill Country. Diane has paid attention to the smallest details. The beds are comfortable, the AC is cold, and the design of the interior is a good mix of modern amenities and clever repurposed elements. We stayed for the 4th - Diane had a booklet laid out with a list of things to do specifically for the 4th and we had a great time. We sat out on the back porch and watched the deer, jack rabbits and hummingbird also! We would recommend the place to anyone and stay again for sure. Thank you Diane & Gary."
1645518,41162080,2015-08-04,38582560,Jessica,My family had a wonderful time at this charming country getaway!! Diane and Gary were so helpful and made us so comfortable. The home has so many amenities and small touches that truly make your trip perfect. We absolutely adored our stay.
1645518,47789606,2015-09-21,36797913,Jeff,"We loved out little weekend getaway here... perfect for our little family!  House was super clean, and had everything you'd want or need... and the country setting was ideal to feel like you've actually 'left the city'.  The friendly donkeys were a nice touch as well!  We'll be back!"
1645518,49630619,2015-10-05,27979608,Abraham,"Enjoyed my stay at the Curly.
Beautiful mornings and quiet nights just outside the busy scandal that is Austin.

You can feed the animals or watch netflix if you decide not to leave the house."
1645518,50484472,2015-10-12,39195704,Kathy,"Went to Austin for ACL & stayed in this cute, clean cabin. Very peaceful & private, loved staying here. Beds comfy & quiet surroundings if you want to sleep in :) Thank you Diane & Gary for a perfect spot to stay!"
1645518,51135930,2015-10-18,42277170,Amanda,Diane and Gary made us feel so welcome! Their guest home is so beautiful...and every detail is quality. You really feel like you are staying at a close family or friend's property because they provide such a great home with all the little comforts one could need.
1645518,51757403,2015-10-24,43136799,John,"Hospitality times 10!!!  Gary and Diane are wonderful hosts and the Curly J is even nicer than the pictures.  The cabin was clean and quaint, and our hosts seemed to think of every detail.  This house was obviously a labor of love.  It has a rustic feel with all the modern luxuries and our hostess did a wonderful job of stocking the house with anything you may need. Our kids had a lot of fun while staying here.  They especially liked the donkeys, Baby and Sunshine!! We were a little concerned when we realized there was no bathtub as we have twin baby girls.  However the large stainless farm sink easily accommodates an infant.  The location was extremely convenient.   This was a great place to stay because there is a good-sized convenient store right down the road on the corner.  Directly next door to the store is a wonderful place called Pieous for Pizza, Pastrami, and Pies.  We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a nice Texas-style getaway!"
910250,4100526,2013-04-09,5619185,Keith,"Great host! I was picked up at the airport and brought straight to a dinner I was late for and then picked up at 3am after our car was towed and brought back to the house!!! The apartment was nice and spacious and very private. Great yard! Walking distance to downtown and close to nature!! I couldn't have asked for more.

Thanks!!!"
910250,5807531,2013-07-17,5727449,Danette,"This was the perfect place to stay for me, within walking distance to so many things: great restaurants, the running trails in Zilker park, Barton Springs, and the Umlauf sculpture museum. The apartment was comfortable and a nice quiet place to retreat after long days of studying. Herb & Valentina were very accommodating and even picked me up from the airport! They had lots of suggestions for tourist-like activity and were quick to respond to any requests that I had. "
910250,27482430,2015-03-05,28460587,Jane,"The purpose of my trip was a quick first time visit to explore Austin. I needed a safe, comfortable studio, close to everything as I was traveling alone and didn't want to rent a car. The Barton Springs studio met all my needs perfectly.  There are some great restaurants about a 5 minute walk away. The hosts were easy to contact, friendly and willing to help get me settled. I came in on a red-eye flight, arriving mid day needing food and a nap. They offered to drive me to a good restaurant, and I walked home to stretch my legs and had the best night sleep of my life! It's the perfect spot to be close to the city but not hear the noise. I felt for the price it was much better than a hotel."
910250,27707979,2015-03-09,9278928,Thomas,A cute place in a perfect environment. valentina and her husband are great hosts and will make you feel at home right away !
910250,30329861,2015-04-20,1971858,Martine,Did not meet Valentina but her husband Herb. Herb was a very gracious host who went above and beyond to make our stay a pleasure. He even volunteered to drive us to the airport on our departure. 
910250,31492989,2015-05-05,2362183,Jessi,"Valentina and Herb did a great job of making us feel welcome! We got a great introduction to the place and a rundown of how everything works. They were always available, very responsive to our inquiries, and had some awesome recommendations for places to eat and grocery shop. 

The studio is perfect for a couple, and don't let the size of the kitchen fool you! I cooked a three-course lunch for four in there with no trouble (Speaking of which: This place is the perfect distance from the flagship Whole Foods. I walked it one day and Uber'd the second day for under $5 during peak traffic). The neighborhood is just up the hill from Restaurant Row/The Picnic/Zilker Park and across the bridge from N. Lamar, so there's tons to do and eat within walking distance and the neighborhood is full of friendly, quality people.  

All in all our stay was amazing, and I know we'll be booking with Valentina again. This is my new favourite AirBnB in Austin!"
910250,32386580,2015-05-17,672523,Brian,Very welcoming host. Great location. Clean. I found the bed unformfortable and it would have been nice to have screens in the windows but over all  a good place to stay. 
910250,33117832,2015-05-25,674867,Brittani,The studio was perfect and the neighborhood couldn't be more ideal-- beautiful hiking trails and great restaurants/cafe's just a few minute's walk away.
910250,45097542,2015-08-31,37829166,Barrett,"Valentina and Herb are excellent hosts. They know the Barton Springs area very well. They take the time to give their unique insights on the area. Herb is super friendly and goes out of his way to ensure you have a great time in the area.

The unit is cozy and has that Austin-eclectic feel to it. My wife and I  thought it was small at first but quickly realized there's so much to do in the area that we really only sleep and shower there.

The location is amazing. You're steps from the Barton Springs Road, the Pool, the hike and bike trail, great food, events, etc. The list of things to do a quick bike or walk away is endless.

We didn't have any problems with the place. Herb had a water bubbler which he refilled upon request. His turn around time for this was usually a few hours. Everything in the house functions well and the unit is clean.

This is a great place to stay if you want to experience the Barton Springs area and are looking for a cozy place to crash when you're tired from visiting Austin."
910250,46005707,2015-09-07,41372351,Portia,"Perfect spot for any Austin vacation experience. Hosts are helpful & friendly, studio is clean & comfortable, & close to all the best parts of Austin!"
910250,47571413,2015-09-20,1192348,J. T.,"The most important thing for this stay was that Valentina and Herb responded to my request in less than an hour.  I had to make an emergency trip to Austin and needed a place to stay confirmed quickly.  I chose this place because of its location and it was exactly what I wanted.  The Barton Hills area of Austin is one of my favorite areas of Austin.  It is perfectly located in a scenic area within walking distance to swimming, hiking, biking, boating, restaurants, bars, theaters, art.  I loved walking in the friendly neighborhood filled with interesting architecture from historic to mid-century modern to contemporary.  My place was comfortable, cool and equipped with all I needed for a relaxing stay.  Herb was very attentive to all my needs and he and Valentina even gave me a ride to Trader Joe's for a much needed bottle of wine.  They were the most gracious hosts.  I look forward to what I hope is a longer stay."
910250,47807084,2015-09-21,24598978,Gary,"Second stay in one of Herb and Valentia's immaculate and funky places. This one is much larger, even closer to Barton Springs stuff. "
910250,48663685,2015-09-27,8189438,Ellie,"The host was so welcoming and made sure I had everything I needed for my stay. The apt was super clean, funky and in the best part of Austin. I would definitely stay here again."
333856,972409,2012-03-05,1696965,Amelia,"Staying with Kim is a amazing Airbnb experience, one if you lucky enough to get a opportunity i could not recommend more highly.

Not only is the house amazing and the location absolutely perfect, Kim goes out of her way on every level to ensure her guests are so well looked after, comfortable and given a unique insiders view to Austin.

Its like having the golden key to this part of the world in whatever capacity you're into for your holiday.

From taking me on a guided tour and swim in a locals waterfall and a introduction to a friend for a country adventure.. advice on venues for gigs, dinners and drinks. Kim gives the the most perfect stay you could ever wish for and then exceeds it.

Kim, thanks so much for an amazing trip, can't wait to come back soon !

"
333856,1006487,2012-03-17,201571,James,"Kim is a wonderful and generous host. Her beautiful home is so welcoming. After the chaos of SXSW, it was so great coming back to what feels like a genuine home. Oh, and the massage chair is pretty much heaven."
333856,1268563,2012-05-12,580537,Ryan,"This was one of the best airbnb experiences I've had. The house and room were beautiful, clean and accessible and the facilities (laundry, washroom, etc..) were perfect. The location is also great, right in the heart of the funky Bouldin area and a short (15 min) walk to SoCo and a moderate (25 min) walk to 6th street. 

Kim is a fantastic host who really loves Austin and has great recommendations on things to do. She gave me a quick hula lesson which was very fun, I was much better than I thought I would be! 

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who really wants to get a true Austin experience."
333856,1698344,2012-07-13,2697933,Jennifer Peel,"We stayed for about a week this July; we loved it! Firm comfy bed, good sleep. Cool A/C. Friendly kitty. Kim is a warm and generous host, and the space she provided was the perfect home-base for the beginnings of our re-investigations of Austin, where we lived previously. The house is spacious, artistic, lively and beautiful, and there it is, right in the middle of everything you want to be close to in Austin South: amazing food, live music, coffee, yoga, you name it. Kim is happy to share her local knowledge as far as what is new and what is going on. We had fun around town but also we needed to do some work -- the room's desk was good to do this in seclusion if needed, plus the downstairs great room table was a perfect place to laptop or to organize or to write or make calls; wifi worked perfect. I loved starting the day with a coffee and a step out onto the wide back porch. It looks into the natural green-treed yard/garden sloping down into the limestone creek bed. Authentic. Recommend."
333856,7868039,2013-10-07,6071672,Rita,"Kim was a responsible, caring, friendly host.  We just stayed the weekend for ACL and were really happy with the accommodations.  As other reviewers state, the house is clean, quiet, and is close to SoCo and Barton Springs.  There is a lovely creek and park behind her house too!  There is a bit of ambient traffic noise, so bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper.  We hope to be able to stay again with Kim soon!"
333856,8078290,2013-10-15,6900739,Emilee,The Solar Sanctuary is amazing experience. I had such a great time in Austin and at the house. Kim is the perfect host and you will most likely leave a better person than you came. I only wish I could have stayed longer but then again I will be back for sure and stay here again.
333856,8515194,2013-11-03,4144133,Silvia,This place is amazing! Clean and super comfortable.
333856,10462747,2014-02-20,115665,Eleanor,"I usually rent whole apartments for work trips, but staying with Kim was much better! She gave me recommendations for everything I wanted to do (hairdressers, shopping, food), made sure I had everything I needed (like a hairdryer), and on the first day she drove me to get a breakfast taco and dropped me off at the convention centre. She is just really friendly and a great host - I also met some of her friends who were lovely. The house is amazing, an easy walk to downtown and cabs home at night from downtown were 8 dollars or less. There are also food trucks right across the road! If you are travelling alone you should definitely stay with Kim."
333856,10567960,2014-02-25,6378169,Kai,"We had a wonderful time staying with Kim. Here house is beautiful, bright, open, and airy, and Kim is an extremely welcoming and helpful host. A native of Austin, Kim knows all about both the history of the city and its hip new spots. The house is in a great location on South 1st Street, near Bouldin Creek, great food trailers, stores, bars, and cafes, and just a couple blocks from bustling South Congress. It's also a very easy walk or bus ride to get downtown. Whether it's your first visit to Austin or your tenth, I can't think of a better base or a better host than Kim!"
333856,10706908,2014-03-03,287811,Sara Wilde,"Kim, her home, and the location were wonderful!  My husband and I actually live in Austin, and just wanted a night without the kids (and a morning to sleep in).  Kim's home was incredibly clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated.  The bed was quite comfortable (I'm picky about that) and the coffee in the morning was delicious.  The location is walkable to a great assortment of restaurants, bars, and food trucks, and the backyard is very peaceful.  Kim, herself, was also a plus to the experience.  She was warm and friendly, but also gave us time to ourselves.  The hula hooping lesson she threw in was an unexpected, but much appreciated bonus.  I'll certainly recommend Kim's place to all of my out of town guests, and will likely stay there again next time I need a night off!"
333856,11062976,2014-03-18,12876042,David,"After staying with Kim, I can't imagine visiting Austin any other way.  The location was amazing.  There was plenty of food and activity within walking distance, both downtown and on South Congress.  Definitely take Kim up on her food recommendations; I'm pretty sure Mellizoz Tacos are the best tacos I've ever had.  All of the little things I didn't expect to take advantage of made the experience all the more enjoyable (the hula hoop lessons, the massage chair, the sauna).  I would highly recommend staying here!"
333856,11158482,2014-03-23,451732,Jennifer,"I stayed with Kim for a few days while I attended a conference in downtown Austin (easy to get downtown from her place). As soon as we met, Kim made me feel totally at home in her beautiful home. Kim is an amazing person with a wonderful positive warm energy about her. Her place is quiet and calm and super clean (staying there = first time my allergies didn't bother me in months!) and the whole time I was there I just felt really relaxed and calm. Kim's home is gorgeous and full of light and the back porch overlooks a lush green backyard. 

Kim is attentive and lovely to chat with, but really respectful if you just want to chill and be an introvert for an evening. I slept really well - no issues at all with the street noise. Her place is within very easy quick walking distance to lots of delicious affordable food (tacos, more tacos, Thai, vegetarian food trucks, dessert food trucks...) and it's very easy to hop on a bus. I felt totally safe walking alone in the evening after dark in the area near Kim's place when I went out to grab a bite. While I was initially a little wary of Kim's purported hooping enthusiasm, she's a great teacher and I am really glad she shared her love of hooping with me. Kim loves meeting new people and genuinely cares about people and it shows. She also loves Austin and can tell you about all the amazing little spots you might want to visit. Kim even graciously offered to drop me off at my conference when she was available. I was blown away by her kindness and generosity. Without a doubt, best airbnb experience ever. "
333856,11254882,2014-03-26,11420583,Gerardo,"Solar Sanctuary with Kim went beyond my expectations. Upon the moment of meeting Kim, she opened up her home and her heart to us. The way she integrated us into her life and home was like that of an old friend, happy to see her friends and take them out about time! Such quality time was spent. Kim invited us out one night along with the other bnb guests and we all had a great time! So happy to have met them! Just being a solar sanctuary replished our insides, the energy we received was beyond measure. Kim is the friendliest of airbnb hosts out there and we are so happy and grateful to know her and have her as a dear friend now! We love her and her home!"
333856,11329888,2014-03-30,12881369,Serena,Amazing location and host. She was very hospitable and even gave us hula lessons!
333856,11763995,2014-04-14,13503388,Michael,"Kim truly was an exceptional host.  Her house is so unique and it's in such a great location.   Kim is welcoming, knowledgable, and willing to make your stay truly memorable.    I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a place to stay.  I will surely be a repeat visitor.   "
333856,12893010,2014-05-13,14064831,Kaara,"The home is a beautiful space and the host is a beautiful person. Solar Sanctuary indeed--a peaceful, bright space. Kim designed the house herself and, with a few friends and a bit of additional help, built it. Amazing.

The road outside is noisy during the day but quiets down entirely at night. The location is about a fifteen minute walk to the South of Congress restaurants/shops and a five minute walk to incredible food trucks (Torchy's for tacos, Holy Cacao for delicious coffee, and that's about all I need :) ) and also to a few restaurants that look really lovely but that we didn't have the chance to try. You are also very close by bike (or car) to the park and to downtown--Austin has a bike rental program now.

And--again--a loved and loving home and host. "
333856,16879419,2014-08-03,5679381,David,Kim is a awesome host. She is super friendly and we felt at home in her space. She gave us hoola hoop lessons (totally fun) and great tips on ATX eats. Check out Seventh Flag coffee down near her place and ask her to tell you the story of her family and the building. 
333856,17655391,2014-08-15,12427589,Ian,This is a great shared space and Kim was fantastic. She did what no other human has been able to do in my entire uncoordinated history - taught me to keep a hula hoop up for more than 5 seconds. I was in Austin on business and so the nice desk space in my room and wireless access were crucial. The neighborhood was amazing and I'm hoping to make it back when I don't have work to do. Coffee shop and a cornucopia of permanent food trucks are in walking distance. A great brewpub is a little more of a walk or an easy drive.
333856,18953226,2014-09-03,2103419,Jonathan,"Kim was a fantastic host! She has a beautiful home and is incredibly welcoming. She even drove me to Rainey St. one night so that I could meet up with some friends. The location is also very good, and offers easy access to South Congress, which is a short walk, or the rest of downtown which is a short car ride away. I'd stay here again in a second, and recommend it to anyone else as well!"
333856,19399213,2014-09-11,20990909,Bobby,"Kim was awesome.  I arrived late and she was at the door to great me. The house was terrific and location was great - right in the heart of  South Austin.

Learning how to hula hoop was an added, fun bonus!"
333856,20890949,2014-10-07,5747655,Jesse,"We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our stay with Kim. She was incredibly nice and accommodating. She helped us with everything from making sure we had the settings to the massage chair adjusted correctly to driving us to the airport after our stay. Kim had excellent recommendations of where to eat/see while we were in Austin and her neighborhood is right in the middle of all the action. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable. Kim made sure we had everything we needed, including enough sunscreen to brave the Texas sun. We would definitely visit Austin again and definitely stay with Kim again. "
333856,21275573,2014-10-14,5213274,Noelle,"- Host was extroverted, super friendly and helpful. Gave great recommendations and we even got some hooping lessons. 
- The home & room was much bigger than I expected (Coming from LA).
- Room was bright and sunny, if you like sleeping in late bring an eye mask. 
- Holy crap the massage chair was awesome.
- The extra bed is a foam mattress and was super comfy. 
- Didn't use the trampoline until the last day but it was super fun, very nice deck and back yard to read a book in. 
"
333856,21629076,2014-10-20,22365522,Dorothy,Kim greeted us when we arrived with warmth and enthusiasm about Austin and her home.  She made us feel like her home was our home for the night.  Her home was extremely clean and friendly.  Location was great for our planned activities.  Road noise was a bit more than we expected; but it was Saturday night in Austin!  
333856,22309053,2014-11-03,13061100,Jen,"Great location, easy walking access to South Congress and Downtown. We loved the feeling and vibe of the place (personal knick-knacks and art with stories).  Amenities were nice (soaps, morning coffee, etc). We never used the sauna or massage chair, but wish we had made time to do so. Kim was very gracious and knowledgeable of the area. We enjoyed meeting her and hope to return one day. Only drawback was the very busy street (fast traffic all day, and noise at night), only in the bedroom (you could not hear street noise in the main house). However, she provided earplugs, which was a nice touch. Bed was comfy, house was welcoming, host was super friendly."
333856,22582223,2014-11-10,14918568,Heather,Kim was wonderfully accomidating and friendly.  She has a beautiful home and is the best host I've ever had!  Highly recomended!!!
333856,22921009,2014-11-17,23384047,J.,"Kim was a gracious host! The room was clean and comfortable and we definitely took advantage of the massage chair.  Kim provided great advice on things to do in town, and even checked her personal invites for suggestions.  She even shared some of her hula hoop knowledge with us, gave us a place to store our bicycle, was helpful to our new local friends and insisted on giving us a ride to the airport despite our plans to walk to the bus.  Kim is a wonderful host, a kind spirit and, from what I can tell, a friend to all those she meets."
333856,27774804,2015-03-11,19182371,Derek,"Perfect from the get-go!  Great communication, lovely space with awesome amenities and proximity to downtown and south congress, and Kim goes above and beyond as a host and human being.  Get henna, a massage, and do hula!"
333856,28591153,2015-03-26,12349346,Billy,"Kim communicated all the info I needed to get in and enjoy the accommodations.  The house had a nice open and airy plan, plenty of light.  The location is great, close to lots of great food and down town Austin."
333856,29915058,2015-04-14,2010202,Brad,"Kim was wonderful! We arrived late at night and she welcomed us with open arms. Her house is spacious and beautiful. The location is perfect, walking distance from two of the best taco trucks in town: Torchy's and Mellizoz. Great host, great accommodations, great location, what more can you ask for?"
333856,30857849,2015-04-28,9997429,Evin And Barry,Kim made us feel like we were staying with a friend! We felt totally comfortable and at ease. 
333856,31540132,2015-05-06,6968897,Jeff,"We had a great time staying with Kim. The room was quite comfortable and the whole space is very cool. Kim gave us a number of helpful suggestions about music and dining options that we would not have found on our own. It's a busy street, so there is some traffic noise but it's  manageable. The payoff is convenient access to a number of excellent food trucks, restaurants, coffee shops and some interesting stores. We used BCycle to get around and there are at least 3 stations within a short walk. The short hula hoop lesson was a lot of fun for both of us. "
333856,32000576,2015-05-12,16597019,Maridel,"I decided to stay with Kim because I wanted a relaxing getaway. She is a very kind and welcoming person, and I immediately felt at home. I even got an impromptu hooping lesson on my last day, which was a tremendous treat! The room was nicely furnished and clean. The bed was comfortable, and the earplugs are very effective at canceling out the sound of cars on the street. There's no honking, just wave-like ""whooshing"" noises going by. I really took advantage of the sauna that is built into the house. It was a very cozy, light-filled and quiet weekend for me, which allowed me to meditate and relax. This house 1-1.5 miles from Casa de Luz, where I enjoyed a few meals and a meditation workshop. I will certainly be returning in the future!"
333856,32628061,2015-05-19,24051063,Julianne,Kim is so awesome and an amazing host! She is very friendly and welcoming and made us feel right at home. The house itself is beautiful and clean. The massage chair was an amazing added bonus! The house is in a great location as well and Kim's recommendations were very helpful. Overall we had an amazing stay and hope to come back! :)
333856,32995772,2015-05-24,31661862,Darren,"Kim is cool. I liked her from the get go and it seemed she liked me. I was more her friend then a client. My room was good, and I slept just fine. The best part was hanging out with her friends whenever I was ""home"""
333856,33380406,2015-05-27,5231599,Lynn,"Kim is a great host. She is warm, welcoming and very knowledgable about Austin. Her home is just lovely! I enjoyed spent time at her place when I'm back exploring the city :)"
333856,37409212,2015-07-06,22415912,Nadiyah,"Our stay with Kim was excellent. Her home is immaculate, and she is one of the most warm and welcoming people we've met on Airbnb. I would absolutely stay here again!!!"
333856,45229229,2015-08-31,15908186,Alicia,Kim was an absolute delight! She was energetic and such a pleasure to talk with. I only had a brief time as I was out and about and everything was so close. Her place is spacious and clean and just a joy to spend time in. I cant wait to go back and enjoy more fabulous hula hoop lessons! Do not miss this place!
333856,46217758,2015-09-08,24560552,Marisol,"Our Austin experience would of never been complete if we wouldn't of stayed with Kim. She truly loves her city and gives you the best tips on where to go and getting around. We missed the part about her having a cat but for those of us allergic to cats, her place is very clean and you hardly ever see the cat. Kim's place is overall amazing make sure you use the massage chair and hula hoop! "
333856,49970785,2015-10-08,32674540,Josh,"Kim and her home are absolutely amazing. The latter is a lovely place that's very walkable (or a short ride) to most of Austin's major attractions and has all the amenities you could want (and then some).

Kim herself is the best host you could ask for. She's incredibly welcoming and kind, immediately making you feel like a friend and not just a boarder. She also has an amazing ability to hone in on what you places you would enjoy most in Austin so your trip is as great as it possibly could be. I'd say at least half of my enjoyment of Austin came from her recommendations on different sites/areas to explore."
333856,50657625,2015-10-13,35003436,Christopher,"Kim made our trip to Austin an absolute treat. She welcomed us with open arms and made her home feel like our home. She gave us multiple suggestions of restaurants and bars to visit based on our interests, which all turned out to be exactly what we were looking for. The house is in a centralized location and walking distance to a ton of food trucks and other options. We are already working to plan another trip to Austin and will definitely be hoping to stay with Kim again!"
333856,51058027,2015-10-17,9304347,Kristen,Kim was a great host--extremely welcoming and shared with us the scoop on Austin. We had an excellent time and really enjoyed staying at this central location for exploring south congress and the rest of the city. We would absolutely return! 
333856,51299295,2015-10-19,132534,Ryan,"Kim insists you feel at home when you visit her Solar Sanctuary. We followed her lead.  Kim was warm and welcoming and was knowledgeable about her neighborhood. We had a wonderful time visiting Austin, and Kim and her lovely home were indispensable to our enjoyment.  "
326936,1023852,2012-03-20,448484,Doris,"A group of girl friends and I wanted a place to stay while we came into town for two nights during SXSW.  Edith's guest house was available, so we went with it.  Edith was very hospitable, from even before we finally got there.  The guest house is quite spacious and very clean.  She had nearly everything that we might have possible needed during our stay readily available.  Edith was very knowledgable about Austin, where to go, how to get there, and even showed us how to us the transt system. I would DEFINITELY recommend anyone visiting Austin to stay with Edith; she was a wonderful host, very accomadation, and best, is very nice and hospitable!"
326936,1095112,2012-04-07,943835,Gwenyth,Edith was very kind and helpful.  We enjoyed our stay in her charming home.
326936,1164274,2012-04-22,2058166,James,"Spacious and inexpensive. I couldn't ask for a better host than Edith. This was my first experience with airbnb and will definitely be using it again. accommodations were just as listed. Communication regarding stay was quick and easy. 
Thanks Edith!"
326936,1217358,2012-05-02,1025282,Suzanne,"Edith is a wonderful host!  The room is clean and comfortable and perfectly set up.  It was nice that we could come in and out without feeling like we were bothering her family.

She did everything she could to make our stay a nice one.  I would definitely stay there again."
326936,1333136,2012-05-22,1001250,Tara,"Edith is a gracious hostess and she recommended several local attractions and restaurants for us to try.  The house is spacious and very tidy.  The atmosphere is cool and relaxed, and with just a short drive to downtown it was exactly what we needed.  I recommend Edith's BnB to others and would return myself if I find myself in Austin."
326936,1494480,2012-06-16,2582936,Claudia,"I screwed up my reservation and arrived a week early!  Edith was pretty surprised to see me!  But she took it all in stride with good humor.  Fortunately, the room hadn't been booked for that week.  She was very gracious and eager to be of help in any way.  The room was very clean with a private bath and fluffy, whiter than white towels."
326936,2925401,2012-11-20,2559116,Jeff,"Edith's guest house was perfect for three race fans to crash while attending the USGP at the Circuit of the Americas.  We were close to the track, Congress Ave (good food and drinks), and downtown Austin (F1 fan fest).  Her place was nice, clean, and very welcoming.  She even provided some race related amenities."
326936,3348821,2013-01-14,4426334,Franchesca,"Edith was a great host and her house was a the perfect space for our annual cousin trip.  
"
326936,3398414,2013-01-22,1866640,Wes,Edith's place was more than advertised. She made coffee in the morning and the guest wing was comfortable for our large group. I would highly recommend this place if you are staying in Austin. Thanks Edith!
326936,3523343,2013-02-11,3011233,James,My wife and I were in Austin as speakers at an event hosted at the airport Hilton. We thought we were going to be taking our dog so we booked with Edith. Edith's house is only about 10 minutes from the airport which was very convenient for us. She was extremely friendly and helpful in making sure that our stay was pleasant. Her home was very clean and convenient for us. We would stay with Edith again without hesitation.
326936,4077660,2013-04-08,5257985,Diana,Edith was very thoughtful and considerate.  Her place was cozy and comfortable and convenient.  Yes!  We would stay there again.

Thx Edith!!!"
326936,4297520,2013-04-25,5991619,Elliott,"Erika was a great host. She was extremely accommodating and the way she has setup the room means it's completely separate, which was really nice. 

The location was perfect, just straight off the highway from the airport, it's about 2 mins from the exit.

To get into the heart of Austin was a 5 min drive, directly down the road.

Highly recommend for anyone wanting to discover this beautiful city!

Thanks Erika :)"
326936,4667261,2013-05-19,6215738,Rebecca,"Edith is the perfect hostess -- eager to help, but not intrusive.  The place is clean, airy and spacious with multiple rooms.  It was in walking distance of the school where I was taking a week class.  Free wifi!  Thanks.  "
326936,5550651,2013-07-05,4636060,Heidi,"Traveling solo with my 2 small children, I wanted to find a space  where we would feel safe, comfortable, & in the middle of a great side of Austin with all its great culture & food.  Thanks to Edith's place, we slept great, and she even had juice boxes for the kids. Edith was accommodating, flexible, curteous, prepared, & kept a very clean space.  If you don't mind a bit of traffic noise (we don't, but we also live in a busy city) the guest room is great for a quick night or an extended stay. This was my first time using  Air BnB, and it left a very good  impression!"
326936,5611355,2013-07-08,3387509,Ceci,"We had a great stay at Edith's place . Roomy , very close to everything , comfy beds, clean , she even had toiletries available in case u ever forget anything . U do need to let her know to adjust the thermostat (which is in the upstairs bedroom ) so she can warm it up or cool it down for u . Maybe a fan in one of the adjacent rooms would have helped , it was at 2am when it felt warm in the room and I just felt embarrassed to wake her to adjust the thermostat ., of which we did anyway cause I couldn't sleep . Overall , it was a great stay ! Thanks Edith !"
326936,6624621,2013-08-19,4243316,Katherine,"This was a real life saver for me. On short notice Edith arranged to allow an entire month stay. The accommodations were wonderful, with a personal bathroom and entry to the home. The family is very nice and make you feel welcome. A+ experience and would recommend to anyone."
326936,7941342,2013-10-09,6913935,Ángel,I recommend Edith's house to stay in Austin. She is lovely and makes you feel at home. The house is very nice and comfortable. Thank you very much Edith!
326936,10660585,2014-03-02,11582083,Ginny,"Edith and her family were very kind and welcoming.  She made us feel at home and welcome to use the kitchen and laundry too, which are in the main (their) part of the house.  She was also very accommodating when there was a little issue with the room at check-in.  The accommodations are very nice and surprisingly spacious!  They even added a microwave to the apartment that, along with the mini-fridge, made it very feasible to make food there and still have privacy.  The location is very convenient too, and it was super nice to be able to park right at the front door.  Edith really went out of her way to make our stay a great experience!  We would highly recommend her place!  Oh, and their dog is really sweet too and played nicely with our little dog and baby :)"
326936,11208908,2014-03-24,7675193,Jono,"Edith was a delightful host, she was able to accommodate us at late notice and made sure the home was clean and well prepared for our group in a matter of hours. Short driving distance to downtown Austin, would recommend!"
326936,12057447,2014-04-22,12360032,Patty,"Edith was very helpful and the place was spacious and clean.  I enjoyed my time there.  I came prepared to do a shop to get coffee and such, but much to my delight that was well stocked up.  I live in a very rural area so I may not be the best judge, but it did seem quite noisy because it is right on 1st street.  But that also made it easily accessible for getting to places. All in all a very pleasant stay.
"
326936,12583535,2014-05-05,14712123,Daniel,Edith was a great host for us on our stay in Austin.  Very easy to communicate with.  Very accommodating and the place was very nice as well.  Would recommend her for any one that would like to stay in Austin.  Very central location as well made it very convenient getting around town.  
326936,13460145,2014-05-27,10266023,Rick,Edith was the best host! She bent over backwards for me.

326936,18029745,2014-08-20,19413944,Erika,Edith was the perfect hostess. Her place was clean and just as we expected. Would definitely recommend staying here. 
326936,20813099,2014-10-06,16590075,Megan,Great experience. Edith left us drinks in the fridge and coffee. Very clean. Enjoyed our experience. Edith was a great host! 
326936,21048910,2014-10-10,324659,Chase,Edith was a great host. She quickly communicated via email and SMS and worked hard to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her space was extremely close to downtown and only a 10 minute uber ride away ($10-12 dollars). I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an easy place to stay that is just outside the city.
326936,21275734,2014-10-14,14587263,Daniel,"Edith's home was the perfect place to stay while visiting Austin for ACL. Her home is huge! The rooms were not only spacious but also clean, cozy, and comfortable. We had everything we needed available to use to make our stay inviting, it was like being home at Mom's house. My wife and I will definitely want to stay here again."
326936,21596436,2014-10-20,21216847,Jasmine,"We had a great experience staying on Edith's property and would recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, private place to stay!"
326936,21964718,2014-10-27,3477247,Julie,"My daughters and I had a great stay at Edith's place.  We were greeted and settled in within minutes.  There were a few complementary beverages in the fridge and spare toiletries in the bathroom, including a cute little AirBNB travel toothbrush that one of us who forgot a toothbrush was really glad to see!
Edith responded instantly to my (multiple) texts while we stayed there.  She was the perfect host."
326936,22373870,2014-11-04,22509561,Tim,"Edith's place was great. Simple, but comfortable and easy access to downtown and to the airport.
Bed was super comfortable. There is a bit of road noise as you're on Sth 1st but nothing earplugs wont fix.
Edith was great. She was out when I arrived but had texted all the instructions. 
There is a large fridge and dining table and a small corner store 2 mins walk away."
326936,22696983,2014-11-12,21506732,Jared,Edith was a wonderful host.  I would rate the house as nicer than I expected from the listing and they really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.  They provided a Keurig coffee machine for us to use and had water and soda in the fridge.  The restroom was stocked with toiletries that came in handy as we forgot to bring a few things.  The place was clean and central and easy to find.  Overall a great experience.
326936,23124669,2014-11-23,12457776,Rick,Great experience very calm neighborhood the room setup was equivalent to a 3.5 star hotel she had amenities most Airbnb places don't have for example coffee microwave the little things do count I wish I would have met the hostess meeting a host or hostess makes it more personable
326936,23285708,2014-11-27,6292950,Colin,"Communication was great, easy to get there and get in, everything was just as described."
326936,23525795,2014-12-03,5621475,Sarah,"We very much enjoyed our stay at Edith's place. It is in a great location and is just a short drive away from some of Austin's best restaurants & coffee shops. She was very accommodating and kind to our family. Thanks again, Edith!"
326936,24152985,2014-12-21,17531761,Tam,Awesome place much bigger than what we needed.  Coffee maker was a big plus.  Close enough to downtown.   Parking was perfect for our two cars. I would most likely stay again if it is available.
326936,24323866,2014-12-26,3677063,Jamie,"Edith and Rebel were very welcoming to us and our dog. Great location, very close to downtown and Barton Springs, easy to get on highway 290 and Interstate 35. Multiple bed options (I think 5), and multiple rooms, including a dining area and living area. There was a microwave, toaster, coffee maker and fridge, but no other way to cook food or wash dishes. We ended up borrowing a crock pot from a family member in town to cook with. Overall satisfied, we would stay there again. "
326936,24745017,2015-01-02,21689305,Marco,"Loved my stay in Austin and Edith's home was just right for my needs and in a very interesting part of town close to the downtown core. There were a good number of restaurants, cafes, and especially the famous Austin food trucks, where one could explore and eat that were close reach by car in addition to downtown Austin.

The Keurig coffee maker and more than enough Keurig cups were available for a morning coffee as well as some snacks for the toaster and a fridge with some bottles of spring water included was really convenient.

It was also great that there was a closet full of games. My nephews came over and we had a great time playing a few.

Thanks to Edith for a great stay and hope to come back again!"
326936,25446839,2015-01-16,15785117,Toni,"Edith's place was great. Warm, quiet and cozy. Both Edith and Rebel were there to answer any questions or help me in anyway and the awesome pup willie kept my pooch entertained in their massive backyard. Thanks Edith. "
326936,25583559,2015-01-19,23776809,Eric,"Traveled to Texas for Print Austin for 3 nights and the stay here was great. We were greeted, shown the place, and given cell numbers if we needed to contact them about anything.  Very private/cozy/awesome experience."
326936,25846772,2015-01-27,2654474,Patrick," In the beginning, I thought I rented 2 bedroom house (my mistake! , Should of read it more carefully), but her place is awesome and I didn't get in trouble with my wife!

Edith was a fantastic host!  The space is attached to the main house with a locked door.  We couldn't hear anything from the main house, even their dog.  There were plenty of towels, large area to play (3.5 and 8 year old), and large fridge.  She supplied water and soda's, which was great.    I called to ask if she had a spare heater, and she actually bought a new heater for us!  That was super kind of her.  We also Texted to borrow an iron and her Boyfriend handed one over in 2 mins.  We had an amazing time in Austin and a wonderful stay.  You would love it here."
326936,27759415,2015-03-11,6069091,Ben,"Everything was as advertised. Edith and her family were nice and didn't intrude on our space. The washer/dryer are in the main house, but we didn't ever have trouble getting time with them through Edith."
326936,28779653,2015-03-30,25805497,Stephanie,"Edith is great!  Place was clean and tidy but homy too.  There is no kitchen in the space but Edith allowed us to use her kitchen to prepare breakfast and smoothies!  Thank you again!  Any time we needed something Edith responded quickly to our text messages.  
Road noise was loud but I live in the country so I'm not use to so much traffic!  Great location with so many places within a few minutes of the place.
Great experience, would do again! "
326936,28968606,2015-04-01,8134910,Kerry,"Edith was very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Our stay was very short (only one night) so our interaction was limited, however, she was friendly and cheerful. Her place was as described."
326936,29282030,2015-04-06,2489518,Stéphanie,"J ai passé 5 jours dans la dépendance d Edith. La situation géographique était parfaite (10 min en voiture du centre ville). La dépendance est grande et bien équipée. Elle colle la maison d Edith mais nous avions notre indépendance et notre tranquiluté. Edith avait laissé des choses pour nous dans le frigo, c etait tres sympa de sa part. Son mari nous a beaucoup aidé aussi. Je recommande cet endroit . Grace à lui  nous nous sentions comme des habitants d Austin"
326936,29912575,2015-04-14,23907462,Kyle,"I can't think of a better experience for my first time using AirBnB. Edith's property was easy to get to and centrally located to all we needed. Communication was excellent and she answered our questions promptly. The living space was clean and quiet and accessed easily. Overall, Awesome!"
326936,30247260,2015-04-19,6222925,Amanda,"Edith's place was an ideal place to stay while we explored Austin for a couple of days. Edith was friendly and welcoming when we met her upon our arrival. The apartment is fairly large with a dining area with fridge and microwave and two bedrooms that are divided by a curtain across the door that divides them. One room has one double bed, the other has one double and a twin, and there is another twin tucked away near the dining area. One fun touch is the chalkboard wall where previous guests had written notes. The space is quite private, and after Edith welcomed us we didn't run into her again during our two night stay, but I know she would have responded quickly to any questions or anything we needed help with. There is some road noise (city road, not like the constant whir of a highway) but it didn't bother us. The shower head is low so you'll need to duck down to wash your hair. It was great having space to spread out so we weren't tripping over our suitcases. We would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Austin. Thanks Edith!"
326936,30456209,2015-04-22,7445458,Nicole,"Our stay at Edith's place was great. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable. It's connected to the main part of the house, but we didn't here any noise. The chalkboard wall was a fun addition as well! The location is convenient and easy to get to. I would definitely stay here again."
326936,30788460,2015-04-27,14285064,Carol,"We ha d a wonderful stay at Edith's place. It is just as described, very spacious and everything you need. Felt like a small apartment.  She was very responsive to our texts and it was nice that she provided waters and extra toiletries. Fantastic location.  I'd love to go again!"
326936,31075168,2015-05-01,753882,Lynda,I met Edith and Rebel and they were great. I came a little earlier than expected and they showed me around and made me feel welcome. The space is very nice with plenty of room. I had the front door access which is separated from the house they live in. There are all the amenities you could think of and more. It would be a great place to stay for longer but I only got to stay for two nights. I would have liked to talked with Edith more as she is a very gracious host.  Lynda
326936,31321480,2015-05-04,12390834,Rachel,"Edith's place was warm (but actually really quite cool!) and welcoming. Her and her family are accommodating, quiet and friendly. I enjoyed my stay and am very much looking forward to spending more time at her place while I settle into Austin permanently this summer. Thank you, Edith!"

326936,32930928,2015-05-23,17296282,Farrukh,"Edith's place was one of the most welcoming Airbnb places i have stayed at recently.   The place was very clean, spacious and had about every amenity you can imagine to make my stay comfortable.  Great location, which was 10 minutes from both congress and downtown area.  Although, the place was centrally air conditioned, there was no temp control in the area the guests stay.   Will definitely stay here again.   Thanks Edith!"
326936,33217968,2015-05-26,18830711,Michael,"The location is excellent, very close to the restaurants and attractions on 1st Street and Congress Ave but far enough to avoid being affected by the noise. Edith was a great host; I had my own parking spot to avoid getting blocked in and she accommodated my few requests e.g. needing an iron. She left some drinks in the full-sized fridge and responded to texts quickly. It was just two of us but you could fit 4 people into this place pretty comfortably, and it's an amazing value for the price. We ended up not bringing our dog but Edith was more than accommodating towards him."
326936,33994252,2015-06-03,22714638,Steph,"Had a great stay! Edith was very accommodating and friendly. Her house was very comfortable, clean, and in a great location. Would definitely stay here again!"

The place was very neat and clean, and everything was as listed. The location was very convenient for me to travel around Austin as well. "
326936,35415649,2015-06-18,27506877,Luis,Edith's house was awesome. This was my first time using airbnb and it was great. Their home was very comfortable clean and I will definitely try and book with Edith the next time I go to Austin.
326936,35953348,2015-06-23,792213,Reza,"My wife and I stayed at Edith's apt for 4 nights in June. The place was clean, convenient, and cool (very important during the summer). They were very responsive and maintain a great place. "
326936,36208298,2015-06-26,1440463,Paola,"Great place, close to everything. Plenty of space for several people. And pet friendly! "
326936,49104908,2015-10-01,25957347,Ben,Edith was very helpful with everything while I stayed in her house. I had full privacy the whole time but she was accommodating whenever I needed something. Everything is as advertised and in a very good location if you are visiting Austin. I would recommend staying here to anyone.
326936,49761035,2015-10-06,22069184,Alexandra,"My brother, sister and I stayed here for ACL and we loved it! It was perfect for us. We loved the fact that it had a curtain between the two rooms for more privacy and a nice common area with a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. It was super close to Zilker and downtown (10 min) and the neighborhood was really nice. Edith and her boyfriend made us feel welcome and were super accommodating. I definitely recommend her place if you're staying in Austin!"
326936,50614190,2015-10-13,33083519,Shlomi,"Very friendly and helpful host. The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. The location was great and close to everything (driving distance that is).

Thank you!

The way the beds are set up differ a little from the pictures, but I prefer what she has now: a large bed and smaller bed in the larger room, and another large bed instead of the daybed in the smaller room. The larger room has a built in table that's high up with a TV on top and barstools around. The smaller room had a desk and chair, a vanity, and dresser. Light sleepers should take the larger room or else the AC unit outside might keep them up. The daybed was moved to the kitchen area and I noticed inflatable beds in the closets. What you also don't see in the pictures is a nice big table with comfy leather rolling chairs that you can have snacks/meal on and a sitting/kitchen area with 2 arm chairs, side table, microwave, coffee maker, Keurig maker and K cups, and full sized refrigerator. There were nice touches like mini bagels, a basket of fruit, water and sodas. I wish we had time to play some boardgames from the closet chock-full of them. In the bathroom, there were plenty of hanging rods/hooks for towels and toiletry bags, and Edith also provided loofahs and some toiletries in case you forgot anything. Plenty of towels and bedding, but bring your own pillow if you need a big fluffy pillow or something with more support. We were fine with just doubling them up. The bedrooms had floor fans which we liked to use at night. Loved that the door had a code instead of a key. One less thing to worry about. The house can be a little tricky to find (especially at night) so try to go slow if the cars behind you will let you. We loved the location and there was spacious parking. Not to mention, there is a half circle type drive, so no backing out into the busy street. Awesome first AirBnB experience! We plan to book with Edith again the next time we're in town."
326936,51298119,2015-10-19,17843231,Vanessa,"Edith's place was very clean and nice. Location was great, 5-10 minutes from downtown and close to lots of restaurants and bars.  Did not get to meet Edith but she was very accommodating and quick in responding to texts.  Would definitely stay at her place again."
326936,51658497,2015-10-22,5538217,Hannah,"This property is wonderful, and affordable!  We were able to easily communicate with Edith and coordinating our arrival and departure was no problem.  The appartment is spacious.   It is a quick drive to downtown Austin and the sights, and it is definitely easier to stay here if you have a car.  As an added bonus our dog really enjoyed getting to know Edith's pup, who is sweet and friendly. "
2501888,10895886,2014-03-11,12834224,Marc,"Paul and Kat have a beautiful home in a safe and lovely part of town.
They were very welcoming, entertaining. easy to communicate with.
The trailer and bedding was clean and comfortable.
Paul and his wife provided snacks and water in the trailer and even offered to cook us breakfast.
I loved their dog Marvin.
Everything worked out well for my short SXSW stay.
Thanks"
2501888,10934893,2014-03-13,13041880,Joel,"We had a great short stay at Paul and Kat's Airstream.  Their place is in a great location with a quiet neighborhood, perfect for the Austin experience.   Where else can you get live music over breakfast at your airbnb?  A talented family indeed!  
 
I may have to buy an airstream now.  

Thanks Paul and Kat!  "
2501888,11812666,2014-04-15,13713716,Katie,"What a fun place to stay!  The location is wonderful...so close to downtown, yet off in the hills surrounded by trees. Not only was this a great place to stay, Paul and his family were great hosts and made me feel welcome and at home. "
2501888,12323269,2014-04-28,14548923,Max,"Paul and his family are wonderful people!  They were good hosts and interesting to talk to.  The Airstream was Vintage-funky of course (that's the point!), but clean, comfortable, and the AC and running water worked fine.  The neighborhood where this is located is absolutely gorgeous: I saw 2 deer while walking along the road amidst the incredible homes in this area and lots of wildlife.  Keep in mind that there is no wifi available for guests and you really should have a car if you stay here as the cab service to West Lake Hills is not particularly reliable.  There is a Starbucks about a mile away that has wifi and you are not far from Downtown Austin, but again, I hightly recommend that you have a car if you stay here. "
2501888,12632668,2014-05-06,3350670,Dara,Paul's Airstream was perfect! It was exactly what we were looking for and easy to get to just about anywhere. Paul was really accommodating and didn't mind us getting in late. We'll definitely be recommending Paul and his lovely family to anyone who asks.  
2501888,13025183,2014-05-17,3920480,David,"Paul was an exceptional host, and his Airstream was perfect.  He had thoughtful insights on the city of Austin, and made us very happy that we didn't stay in a hotel.  Cooling?  Check.  Aux connected speaker system?  Check.  The neighborhood is gorgeous, and the property has plenty of space to stretch out and relax.  Highly recommended!  "
2501888,13335738,2014-05-25,15906484,James,"Paul was a great host. This is my first time using airbnb and I was in a pinch for a place to crash for the evening. Paul responded to email within 20 minutes and said come right over. I was in and out so I did not get a ton of personal interaction but the camper is great. Very comfy! There is a tv with DVD player, a stereo system and he provided coffee and breakfast snacks. Great experience. "
2501888,13447334,2014-05-27,15540859,Lindsey,"Paul was a wonderful host!  This airstream was perfect for our weekend trip to Austin.  Clean, Vintage and snacks provided:)  This was a really neat area of town and was so close to everything we wanted to go see.  Paul's family was so kind and we were often greeted by their cute pups.  "
2501888,16874034,2014-08-03,18659504,Tony,"Our stay in the Airstreamer was very comfortable and accommodating. It surpassed my expectations. Paul and his family were very hospitable and friendly, and most importantly they made us feel right at home! I would recommend them to anyone taking a trip to Austin!"
2501888,19854181,2014-09-19,1784294,Dan,Staying with Paul was great - we needed a place to crash last minute and he responded super quick on the day of our arrival! The airstream worked as a place to sleep at night and make some coffee in the morning. Paul was really accommodating and even made sure everything was sealed up when it rained and we weren't around. It was a tight space but if that works for you and the other person its not a big deal at all.
2501888,19993724,2014-09-21,3695528,Tatiana,"Paul was a wonderful host! He was there to greet me and my little son, show us around the Airstream and his beautiful home. He even left some croissants for us to nibble. The Airstream was incredibly neat and very cozy. We definitely felt very welcome and comfortable for our brief stay. Will absolutely book again. :)"
2501888,20055984,2014-09-22,21231220,Amanda,"Paul and his airstream were perfect for a girl's night in Austin! My friend and I really enjoyed the accommodations and the oj and croissants he left for us! The beds were great, and the wooded area was a great view for a morning cup of coffee. Although you feel out of the way, the location is not far from the hustle of downtown. We could not have asked for anything better. "
2501888,21189760,2014-10-12,22377967,Juliana,Staying in this little airstream was a Dream.  So grateful to have found it and so many thanks to Paul for making it so easy for us and for the clear communication.  Perfectly comfy inside the airstream.. And oh so cute.  The indoor bathroom/shower was clean and spacious. Thank you!!
2501888,21217937,2014-10-13,21085504,Krash,"
If you love vintage Air Stream Trailers then this is the place for you. I was super impressed how nice it was and that so much of the original equipment was left intact and still works!"
2501888,21567135,2014-10-19,10392909,Ricky,Paul was very welcoming and made staying in his airstream great! The beds were comfortable and the location was very convenient.  We will definitely stay here next time we are in Austin! 
2501888,21637990,2014-10-20,22506874,Chuck,"We enjoyed our stay in this vintage trailer.  Beds were comfortable, A/C worked nicely and it was a very short walk to Paul's house where the shower, etc. could be found.  Paul was helpful in setting-up a meeting time and his wife helped us settle in.  Though our stay was brief it was very enjoyable, a nice change of pace from the same old hotel.  
Why stay in a trailer?  No noisy neighbors down the hall, no ice machines clunking, no doors slamming, no tight parking, no adventure, no style."
2501888,22361422,2014-11-04,7251288,Hillary,"Paul's quaint Airstream was a perfect and inexpensive place to lay our heads during a hectic wedding weekend. Both he and his wife were dry accommodating and welcoming, even preparing the trailer with hotel-like amenities like coffee and muffins,  which were life saving since we arrived famished with only an hour to spare before a planned wedding lunch! We were given unlimited access to their beautiful and modern bathroom, which was only a walk across the driveway away. That shower would be worth the return trip! All in all, I would recommend staying with the Schusters. Great hosts with lovely accommodations. Only warning is the separate single beds. Despite attempts at cuddling, the sleeping arrangements are less than romantic, but we got a kick out of it and slept very comfortably."
2501888,22620266,2014-11-10,21707398,Tilly,"I came to Austin to attend a Yoga Festival and I booked a little late, luckily Paul's lil Airstream was available!!  It was a busy weekend for Austin.  I loved my lil Airstream it was like camping in the middle of the city. Paul and his family opened their home to me and were very hospitable.  (They even invited me to have vegan tacos with them one night!)"
2501888,22874190,2014-11-16,23656264,Carpe,My wife and I had a great time here. It was unseasonably cold at the time of our visit and Paul made sure we were comfortable during our stay. Would not mind staying here again for our next visit to Austin. Safe travels
2501888,23934453,2014-12-14,6531950,Jae,"Paul was an excellent host on our short trip to Austin.  He was very welcoming upon our arrival, and was accommodating despite our short notice.  The Airstream trailer was just how it looks in the photos -- very cute and cozy, with access to a full bathroom in the main house.  Also, the twin beds were surprisingly comfortable.  My friend and I felt the trailer was a truly ""Austin"" experience, and well worth the 15 minute drive from the action downtown. "
2501888,24783998,2015-01-02,20334418,Loren,"Paul was a great host!  We were not expecting the sudden cold snap, but he made sure that we stayed warm with extra blankets and a space heater.  Paul was welcoming and friendly.  It's in a great location, and Austin is so much fun! "
2501888,25072291,2015-01-05,25504150,Shannon,"A friend and I went to stay for her birthday and had the best time! The airstream was cozy and in a great area.
Sleeping side by side in two single beds was like being at a cool camp.
This family is great! They were welcoming and their kiddos are polite and precious. Paul had beer and fresh OJ ready for us in the trailer and was helpful.
The bathroom was nice and easy to access at all times. Will totally stay there again.
"
2501888,26374321,2015-02-10,3643380,Lisa,"I have always wanted to stay in an Airstream and so when I came across Paul’s listing when we were looking for a place to stay in Austin, I was thrilled.  Unfortunately, the stay didn’t live up to our expectations.  Part of the blame definitely lies on our expectations and our own hang-ups.  Paul and his family were very friendly and accommodating.  We really appreciate them opening their home to us.

Paul’s home does appear to be in a very nice neighborhood but be prepared that you will need to drive to get anywhere.  His neighborhood is not biking or walking friendly (no sidewalks or shoulder on the road).  It is a quick 5 to 10 minute drive to downtown and other popular areas as advertised. 

We have walked through a couple of Airstreams over the past couple of years and they were quite a bit newer than Paul’s and/or were completely redone.  Very nice campers.  Paul’s is completely functional but has been well used and some aesthetic repairs are needed.  The inclusion of a stereo system, toaster oven and fridge were much appreciated on our stay.  He also has ample lighting and wall outlets.  We were able to charge all of our devices at the same time.  We did find the beds uncomfortable though.  The mattresses were thin and didn’t offer as much support as our REI camp mattresses. 

As Paul alludes to in his listing, the bathroom in the trailer isn’t really something you are going to want to use for anything other than late night emergencies.  Although the house is only a few feet from the trailer, you have to walk through Paul’s living room and kitchen to get to the bathroom.  My husband felt really uncomfortable using a bathroom right off their kitchen as this is an area they were using frequently and the bathroom door was very thin.  There is no countertop in the bathroom so I reluctantly used the toilet lid as a flat surface for clothes and toiletries (the other alternative was the floor).

You should also be aware that the backyard is Paul’s work area.  Along with the Airstream you will find a couple of old automobiles, trailers and his building material.  There is a lot of wood and metal back there.  At the time we were staying at his home there were also piles of decomposing foam, wood, etc.  They have a couple of chairs out by his garage but this isn’t a typical green backyard for relaxing.

After our stay, we re-read all of Paul’s reviews wondering what we missed.  With the price and all of the glowing reviews our expectations were high and so we felt it was important to share these details in case, like us, you are particular about the places you stay.
"
2501888,26642712,2015-02-16,26869414,Kim,Everything about the process of renting from Paul was top-notch!
2501888,26789027,2015-02-19,3812957,Lauren,"We had a great time in the Airstream! Paul was an awesome host- very responsive with communication, helpful, and welcoming. I wanted to make sure it was warm enough (my sister was under the weather), so Paul provided two space heaters and extra blankets. He even pre-heated it for us before we arrived, so it was extra toasty!  Paul was even generous enough to cook us breakfast- eggs, toast, and an almond milk cappuccino :) Thanks for a fun stay, filled with character and charm :)

The listing is very accurate; it's parked in the driveway with multiple other cars; the toilet in the Airstream is only for 'light use'- but the main house with full shower is very close and accessible. We didn't use the sinks/shower inside the Airstream much, but keep an eye on the plumbing in case the tub or sink needs to be drained (this happened once, I just texted Paul and he came right out to fix it). Also, the streets are indeed dark at night, so be prepped to drive even if it's to the convenient shopping center with a Walgreen's and liquor/wine store down Bee Caves road (2 min drive)."
2501888,27078940,2015-02-24,27940443,Ryan,"Paul was a great host. The night of my arrival there were cold beers waiting for me in the fridge. The second evening I came home to delicious croissants and homemade orange juice. The airstream was really cool and the property made it feel like I was camping. I live in Austin and needed a stay-cation midweek. I will be back. 

Ed"
2501888,27735765,2015-03-10,463744,Oren,"The airstream is freaking awesome. An excellent choice for two platonic friends to share. It's a bit secluded from the city but not at the cost of convenience as it's still only 10-15 min from Downtown and any major attraction in Austin. 

Paul was very welcoming and very responsive, answering any and all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again, highly recommended. 

The bathroom indoors is immaculate and a very nice place for a morning shower. "
2501888,27973390,2015-03-15,17792571,Greg,"The Vintage Airstream was
Amazing.   Arrived at night ...  very easy to find, yet totally private feel!   Croissants, juice and beer waiting for us as an extra touch.   Will definitely book again :)"
2501888,28123232,2015-03-18,2177417,Maya,"We absolutely loved staying in the Airstream. The camper was spotless and there were croissants and fresh orange juice waiting for us when we arrived. Incredibly cozy and comfortable with easy access to a really nice bathroom inside the house. Paul was really friendly and great about checking in with us pre arrival. Only good things to say about this experience, for the money you can't beat it. "
2501888,28754126,2015-03-29,20291688,Cindy,"Paul was a wonderful host! We got in later in the evening than we had planned and still he came out to greet us, guide us, and help us feel welcome. The croissants and orange juice were also a kind gesture that helped us feel welcome. The Airstream was awesome and comfortable; it was also great being able to use the indoor bathroom. The area is convenient for getting to downtown while still offering a more secluded, beautiful environment. The whole experience met our needs and we would definitely go back."
2501888,28913628,2015-03-31,10575084,Pete,My wife and I had a great stay in Paul's airstream.  Leading up to our arrival Paul was in communication to let us know what to expect of the area because we didn't think we'd have a car and there's not much within walking distance. The airstream was very tidy and comfortable and we loved the cold beer upon arrival and fresh orange juice and croissants in the morning. I'd recommend this place for anybody who ever wanted to stay in an airstream like ourselves or is just looking for a quiet and beautiful location just outside of Austin. Thanks Paul for being a super host! 
2501888,29982062,2015-04-15,4733084,Lanakila,Loved our stay at the airstream would definitely come back :)
2501888,30353441,2015-04-20,31104580,Kathryn, Paul was such a wonderful host!  He was very accommodating when I informed him that we wouldn't be there until 8 PM in the evening. He made sure that we knew we were welcome to use his place for a shower and bathroom if we needed to. Would definitely recommend and stay with Paul again!
2501888,30891755,2015-04-28,6876631,Jennifer,"Staying in Paul's airstream over the weekend was super fun! He was very informative about everything, and was very quick to respond to any messages/questions I had. The overall house was in a cute neighborhood, very close to the attractions my boyfriend and I had planned for our trip. The airstream was cozy, equipped with pretty much anything needed. Getting to the restroom/shower was easy and it was an awesome bathroom! Paul also provided us with orange juice and croissants when we arrived and it was delicious. I would stay again, it was a cool experience!"
2501888,31534188,2015-05-06,2552982,Scott,"Paul is a very considerate and responsive host, and the Airstream is comfortably set up with A/C, fridge, and even a little sound system. "
2501888,32036385,2015-05-12,4244909,Hannah,"Sometimes things are just meant to be. That was the case with me booking Paul's camper. Decided to take a last-minute trip to Austin; while en route I looked up available Airbnb units - and Paul's was the first to pop up. No contest. This was the exact experience I wanted while in Austin. 

You will need a vehicle - camper is in the hills, in an affluent community directly west of Austin. Paul is extremely prompt and casually flexible with. He has excellent food & drink suggestions for the city, which was fantastic. Grocery is a nearby drive away as well.


Paul and his family are the very best hosts, generous, warm, they have that ""citizens of the world"" energy about them and their home. I had the good fortunate of sharing an evening of cocktails on their porch with their friends, and story telling into the late hours of the evening...the comfort of that wanderlust camaraderie was like we'd all been friends for years. This is what travel is about. 3 very idyllic  days. Thank you much!"
2501888,33146267,2015-05-25,32616892,Kiva,"Paul was a great! He left us croissants, orange juice and beer, and was a very accommodating host. The airstream was clean and exactly how it was described online. The neighborhood was beautiful, and if you have a car, it is very easy to access anything in downtown Austin. Altogether, it was a great experience... I would recommend this spot! "
2501888,33400854,2015-05-27,33355706,Jaclyn,"Paul was very knowledgeable about Austin and was able to provide plenty of recommendations on what to do, what sites to see, etc. He was a very welcoming host and even invited us to the BBQ he was having at his home... When there was a hiccup in our sleeping situation Paul went to lengths to accommodate us. The second night was extremely comfortable thanks to his efforts...... Overall this is a home with an incredible style. The property is beautiful and his collections are captivating. The experience of sleeping in an airstream trailer was one I never expected to have in my life. Thanks for providing that!"
2501888,33865964,2015-06-01,5473921,Aasim,"Paul was a great host. Super laid back and welcoming. He was responsive all the time, and accessible whenever I had a question. The airstream was just as it looked like in the pictures, and the indoor bathroom was great.

He's got a beautiful family and a friendly dog too!"
2501888,34251147,2015-06-06,34614610,Janet,Nice driving-oriented neighborhood; lots of character on the lot.

2501888,35346669,2015-06-17,533781,Steve,Paul was very responsive in communicating prior and after the stay...made my brief visit seamless and worry free!
2501888,35436333,2015-06-18,20238484,Raeanne,Host was very friendly and accommodating. The listing is very accurate. 
2501888,35846932,2015-06-22,35040721,Michelle,"Paul was a wonderful host! Our schedule was incredibly busy, so we unfortunately didn’t have much time to interact with him or his family, but they were friendly and welcoming the few times we did see them. Everything was setup before we arrived, and the fresh orange juice and croissants were a nice treat. The listing is incredibly accurate, and I felt very confident that I knew everything I needed to while staying there. I found the beds to be surprisingly comfortable. The neighborhood is surprisingly scenic and charming and provided a relaxing feeling of isolation, despite its location. We were never anywhere further than 10 minutes away from anywhere we wanted/needed to go. I highly recommend staying at this location if you’re visiting Austin."
2501888,37823577,2015-07-10,3979068,Whitney,"the cutest little place to stay! Paul was super accommodating!! Great place to stay, not far from anything! Didn't get the chance to meet Paul or his family because it was such a short stay, but did get the pleasure of meeting his adorable little pup! "

2501888,40045479,2015-07-27,38306414,Margaret,"Paul was super easy to get along with, both communicating about the property before hand and during my stay. The Airstream was roomier than I anticipated and fit 2 adults really easily. There was a toilet, and kitchen as well, which was a nice surprise as well as fridge, toaster oven, and bonus on the breakfast rolls and stocked drinks in the fridge Paul has left for us to enjoy during our stay. Great experience, would absolutely recommend."
2501888,40295557,2015-07-29,39569542,EnglishTutor,"Paul was very accommodating even with our booking being sort of short notice. The airstream was great and everything we were hoping for. Very charming and quaint and super retro. Nice touch with the breakfast gift basket we received. Neighborhood is upscale and close to some great views and restaurants. Can't go wrong with this booking. Also, host's family plays a mean guitar!"
2501888,40983594,2015-08-03,4421704,Laura,Paul and his family were great and very nice. The airstream is really fun and a great place to stay. 
2501888,41181486,2015-08-04,4421704,Laura,Paul and his family were great. The airstream is a really fun place to stay. It's about a ten minute ride to downtown Austin. 
2501888,41841947,2015-08-09,39461508,Regina,We had a great time in the camper. The AC worked great.  The camper was well stocked and we felt well taken care of.  It is a sweet tucked away spot that made us feel cozy.  Super fun experience!
2501888,43123600,2015-08-17,39874909,Christine,"We had a great experience staying in the airstream. It was nice and quiet at night and the AC worked great! Paul is quick to respond to any questions we had and even provided us with organic orange juice, croissants with jam, and drinks in the fridge. The airstream was clean and the beds were also comfy! Thanks again Paul!"
2501888,43289083,2015-08-18,16740095,Ray,Paul was a friendly and welcoming host.  The location is convenient to most of what makes Austin a fun and unique place to visit.  The vintage airstream is really cool and comfortable and I appreciated the cold water in the frig and the top notch air conditioning during my August visit.  
2501888,43431222,2015-08-19,8594101,Chantelle,"It was a short visit, but Paul was flexible and made us feel very comfortable in his home. The airstream has everything you need. Its clean, comfortable, and even has some speakers to jam  with. Paul's children seem to be musical prodigies. Wish I could have spent more time to get to know the family. I definitely recommend this place. "
2501888,43673408,2015-08-21,40140006,Malgorzata,"Very clean place. Courteous host. Surprisingly powerful A/C a big plus for a hot day. Shower never got past lukewarm, but beautiful and comfortable. Private location yet close to everything. Thank you."
2501888,44234747,2015-08-24,22658649,Stanton,"Paul and his family are charming, welcoming, and accommodating. The airstream, besides being straight-up cool, was also very comfortable. Great air conditioning. Really tasty fresh squeezed orange juice. Wonderful location/environment and Paul's house, adjacent to the trailer, is even cooler than the Airstream itself. We had a great stay and will definitely try to book it again in the future."
2501888,45174011,2015-08-31,41827373,Rachel,Paul was a wonderful host and the airstream made for a great relaxing base for our trip to Austin. 
2501888,46070066,2015-09-07,36539376,Cason,"The Airstream was great!  A ton of fun to stay in this iconic trailer, nicely appointed and maintained by Paul.  The home and grounds are  beautiful, and the location is fantastic--an easy drive to just about anywhere in the Austin area.  Paul was a friendly and helpful host!"
2501888,46216214,2015-09-08,22778643,Janice,"Paul was a very welcoming host - even offered wine and coffee during our stay. Our stay in the airstream was fun and safe. Very convenient location if you're looking to hit up Downtown, S. Congress, etc. The area is nestled in the hills and very beautiful. Highly recommend if you're looking for a vintage experience. A/C in the airstream blew very cold and the nice bedding made for a very comfortable sleep. The shower in the house DOES get very hot but you're able to adjust the temperature easily. Overall great stay!"
2501888,46993882,2015-09-14,32659478,Natasha,"Communication with Paul prior to arrival was clear and simple. His thoughtfulness in ensuring our comfort was transparent with fresh OJ, croissants, beers (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), veggie juice (in case it was one of THOSE kind of nights).   The airstream is in a quiet neighborhood, but not walking distance to Downtown. However, a ~$10 uber ride will do the trick. Would highly recommend it.  "
2501888,47317033,2015-09-17,21939169,Ming,"This was bar-none one of the most awesome and fun AirBNB experiences that I have ever had. 

If you are looking into this listing you are probably of the adventurous type. And if I'm correct about you being adventurous type, this Airstream will be the perfect base for your Austin adventures.

Paul and his family were amazing AirBNB hosts. The Airstream is just as pictured and was clean & ready when I arrived. There was fresh squeezed organic OJ in the fridge & a croissant waiting for me and on each of the 3 mornings I was there I was offered coffee & an egg inside the amazing house who's property the Airstream resides on.

The Airstream was amazingly comfortable and I used it as both a place to sleep and as an office during the day and as a launch point for my adventures in the Austin area. There is an AC unit attached if it gets too hot and I felt safe and secure at all times.

My only regret was that I had to leave. I will be back for sure. Thank you Paul and family for being amazing. You will love staying here."
2501888,47724406,2015-09-21,41486814,Karley,We had a great time on our trip and Paul and his wife were very great hosts! Really enjoyed the location. Very close to downtown Austin. Would recommend this place to friends!!
2501888,48821197,2015-09-28,7498563,Vicki,"We loved the airstream.  It was clean, cute, comfortable and well located.  Paul was a gracious host.  He greeted us when we arrived and showed us the lay of the land.  Additionally, the airstream even came equipped with fresh orange juice, water, beers and croissants.  Would totally recommend to any friends or family. Thanks Paul!"
2501888,49255034,2015-10-02,6353973,Nicolas,"Very nice experience in Paul's Airstream. There is everything you need inside and a very comfortable bathroom in Paul's house (very close).
Paul was very helpful and welcomed us with fresh beers, orange juice and food for the breakfast. 
I definitely recommend this place."
2501888,49787919,2015-10-06,41945410,Jonathan,"Great place! A really unique way to experience Austin - great proximity to ACL. Paul couldn't have been more accommodating. 
Will definitely be back."
2501888,50042357,2015-10-08,24545131,Phil,Paul and his family were amazing hosts! Truly a 5-star experience. I loved the little touches like croissants and beer in the fridge and that airstream can't be beat. Having access to a full bathroom with hot showers was a real plus. And I loved the closeness to everywhere and downtown. Thank you Paul!
2501888,50745081,2015-10-14,36002165,Lauren,"Our stay in the airstream couldn't have been better! Would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone thinking about visiting austin. It is in a beautiful part of town and just about a $15 uber ride to 6th street or Rainey. We stayed here for ACL and it was even closer to the venue. Paul suggested some great things for us to do while we were there, and was overall extremely thoughtful. When we arrived there were croissants and jam, fresh OJ (so good!), and a 6 pack of local Texas beer! Some really nice touches that you don't get from most places. 

The family is all very friendly and seemingly very musically talented-took a walk to the main house to use the shower and heard some brilliant music from the piano! 

Paul was also very accommodating with any questions we had during our stay. If we are ever near austin for again I will definitely be looking for availability in the airstream!

"
2501888,51249456,2015-10-18,21129968,Nathan,"Paul (and his family) was an excellent host. He and his spot were available very short notice. When we arrived everything was set for us, even in the midst of one of his Friday projects - laying sod. He was one of those hosts that makes you feel welcome at their home without being intrusive. Great space respecter! Loved our first air-stream experience. Scored me some big points with my lady - clean, comfy and had everything we needed. Street was slow and quiet enough for an afternoon stroll and early morning run. Be prepared for a steep slope up the road. We would definitely recommend staying here to others, and if we weren't always looking for the next/newest spot on AIRBNB we wouldn't hesitate returning ourselves. "
2501888,52230530,2015-10-27,38176295,Dan,"The Airstream was fun, clean & unique.  Well located and Paul was a great host.  I would highly recommend."
2501888,52775668,2015-11-01,33591039,Juan,"Paul was great. He was communicative and made sure you had everything you needed, including a cup of coffee in the morning. His property is easily accessible to and from downtown Austin.

The Airstream is comfortable and set off the side enough to enjoy your privacy.   "
2501888,52942310,2015-11-02,13775530,Colleen,"This was the perfect place for my fiance and I. Paul keeps the air-stream very clean and comfortable. He even included a few beers, croissants, and delicious orange juice. Paul is extremely hospitable and a great Air bnb host.  I highly recommend Paul's airstream for a fun weekend getaway. "
710347,10901205,2014-03-12,11146669,Peter,"The property and stay was perfect. Hayden the host went above and beyond expectations by leaving a welcome basket with coffees and drinks and fridge starter items as well. She checked in to make sure all was well. 

The property is as it looks in the pictures -- hip, modern and very tidy and clean which made for a relaxing few days. We were on business attending SXSW and the property was about 15 minute drive from downtown Austin so we did not need to be in walkable distance of any restaurants. The neighborhood itself is residential but flanked to the west and north by major highways which for us was handy for quickly getting to downtown. 

While I was travelling with work colleagues my wife joined us and it was handy having a private bathroom off the master bedroom and a separate bathroom for others. All rooms were similarly styled and accessorized with hip furnishings, bedding etc. The main living room is large with plenty of seating. The kitchen was modern and would have been a pleasure to cook in although we never did. 

In short I would highly recommend this property. "
710347,10987945,2014-03-16,12485728,Janice Sue Megan,"Our group had a great stay at Hayden's home.  There was plenty of space for us all to spread out.  We found the house to be very much as described: spacious and sunny with lots of amenities.  There were 5 of us, and the hosts were super accommodating with an air mattress, extra bedding and all the things we needed for everyone to have their own space and be comfortable.  The neighborhood was great- nice and quiet and well-removed from the party atmosphere downtown.  It was just what we were looking for: a place to come back to and relax after being in the hubbub of downtown each day.  

Hayden and Mike really went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed for our stay.  We arrived to a very thoughtful welcome basket with drinks and treats and even extra toothbrushes, in case anyone forgot theirs!  They also left us a list of recommended restaurants nearby and emailed us maps to the closest grocery stores and FedEx location when we asked if those were nearby.  

Overall a great stay! "
332591,28077272,2015-03-17,8655584,Krystal,"Kate's place was great for SXSW this year. It was exactly like the pictures and located conveniently right outside of downtown. She also left treats for us upon our arrival, which was a nice touch. 

"
332591,30641286,2015-04-25,30501077,Davy,"My wife and I had a great time at the loft!  We enjoyed all the unique artwork and the location was great for getting around Austin.  We brought our dog Randy and he had a blast playing with the resident pup, Bella!

We also really enjoyed the snacks left out on the counter, nuts, chocolate, and popcorn, and made some great coffee with the French Press!

The loft isn't a huge space, but is perfect for a visit to Austin Especially with the fenced yard for our dog, this is the place for us to stay when coming into town!"
5126932,28236165,2015-03-20,1234724,Caitlin,"Only book this spot if you're a good person--this place & this couple deserve nothing less!

The place: If I lived in Austin, this couple would be my go-to for any remodels or interior design. They've done an awesome job with this space. The bathroom is bright and big, the bed and pillows are comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need. A private entrance through the backyard makes it easy to come & go. Bonuses: a Keurig, plenty of hangers, a hair dryer. 

The location: I'll be honest, when I drove up, I was sure I was at the wrong address. The beautiful interior I saw in the photos didn't match the outside of this home. But then you learn they recently remodeled the place--and shortly after, you fall in love with it. It's walking distance to great little spots in east Austin, and only about a 10 minute (casual walking pace!!) to the convention center. 

The hosts: Really can't say enough great things about these two. They insisted, ""Anything you need at all, please please just let us know!"" One morning, I told Deanna I noticed a gluten free cookbook in the apartment, and that it made me feel at home (I have celiac). When I came home later, there was a basket of gluten free snacks and fruit. This is the above-and-beyond stuff that good folks do just because they're naturally great, thoughtful hosts. I want to come back to Austin and hang out with these guys. "
5126932,28856376,2015-03-30,30107910,Bryan,Walking distance from downtown this apartment was exactly what I was looking for.  Beautiful layout and the host couldn't be anymore accommodating. If your looking. For something quiet at night but walking distance to great bars/restaurants this is an excellent choice.  
5126932,30413875,2015-04-21,705436,Emily,"THIS PLACE IS THE BEST--STAY HERE!! I've stayed in quite a few Airbnbs, and this was absolutely the best experience I've had to date. The space is beautiful and comfortable--the pictures don't do it justice! The décor is very chic and modern, and the apartment is incredibly comfortable (wonderful bed, spacious bathroom, well-appointed kitchen, iron, hairdryer, everything you could ask for). And the hosts were so welcoming--they even provided us with breakfast fruits and snacks and a lovely bottle of Prosecco because it was our anniversary! I cannot recommend this spot highly enough; it was ideally located near cool bars and restaurants, the apartment was WAY better than boutique hotels I've stayed in in Austin, and the hosts were just so gracious and kind. This is the kind of Airbnb experience we all hope for! 

If you're visiting Austin for the first time and want a cool, well-designed, spacious, conveniently located spot--look no farther. Walk to Laundrette, Easy Tiger, East Side King, Qui, Veracruz All Natural, Franklin Barbecue, Weather Up, and more for food and drink. Jog around Lady Bird Lake. And thank your hosts for this amazing Airbnb listing!!"
5126932,30799598,2015-04-27,30115901,Abner,Really enjoyed staying here. The apartment is very well done and comfortable. It is attached to the back of Deanna's house but it is completely private and quiet. Deanna and her family are incredibly welcoming and hospitable and she had some great recommendations. The location is great if you're up for walking a few blocks. Some of the best food I have had in a while was at a food trailer park not far from the house. I had my 3-year-old daughter with me on the trip and we found some good playgrounds and parks not too far away as well.
5126932,31022787,2015-04-30,14197138,Lauren,"My husband and I absolutely loved staying at Deanna's home and would've stayed longer had it been available. She was very welcoming, left a basket of snacks, waters, and a bottle of wine. We had a car but it would've been ok if we didn't too since there are a few places you can walk to. Only about a mile to Franklin BBQ, walking distance to the running trail around the lake (not sure what its called), and yummy restaurants nearby. The place is super clean, has plenty of fresh towels, and extra blankets. Wifi worked fine. Overall, highly recommend. "
5126932,31377067,2015-05-04,1414150,Maite,"Deanna was very welcoming, we had coffee, and snacks upon arrival. the space has everything you need in a super tasteful package. It was the first time I've ever taken a bath at an airbnb, heaven."
5126932,32294725,2015-05-16,1978654,Carlos,"I enjoyed this place a lot. It was clean, nice, and had a modern feel to it. Dee was super helpful and was always willing to accomodate my schedule. For example, they were totally okay with checking me in at midnight.

Overall it was a great experience. 5/5 stars."
5126932,32734501,2015-05-20,393212,Jessica,"We had an amazing stay!  Definitely the best airbnb experience I've had.  The host we were originally booked with cancelled our reservation the morning of the trip and Deanna accommodated us last-minute without a single detail out of place.  She greeted us, showed us the apartment, gave us advice on bars and restaurants to check out, and even gave us uber vouchers for our night out (although it was close enough to walk to Rainey, E 6th, and 6th street main drag). There was even a cute welcome basket with snacks, wine, oatmeal, etc. 

The apartment is wonderfully designed. It's very modern and well laid-out. The photos don't do justice! It was great for 4 of us for one night, but would be even better for a couple wanting to spend a few days exploring Austin. I loved everything from the towels to the soaps to the kitchen tiles and light fixtures. The only minor issue was that the bed is super squeaky, but comfortable!  Nice bedding and the entire place was spotless. There's also an Xbox 360 if you're spending time inside and relaxing during your stay. 

All in all a great experience! Would recommend this listing and host 100%!  :)"
5126932,32938698,2015-05-23,9350729,Ramon,"Newly renovated, clean, good layout, good location to experience DT Austin living in an up and coming neighborhood, and super nice host.  My wife and I felt welcome once we arrived and had a relaxing time.  We visit Austin at least once a year and will stay longer next time we visit.   "
5126932,33279484,2015-05-26,27698012,Zachary,"If you want a place to stay that is within blocks of everything downtown, Deanna's is the place to be! 

It was quiet, super clean, and nicely appointed rental. She is direct access to the highway and there's a few really nice cafes right around the corner to get breakfast and coffee. 

We loved staying there and will totally use her again in the future. She was nice and accommodating when ever you needed something. "
5126932,34993702,2015-06-14,1506107,Alexander,"Great, recently renovated, very clean and comfortable place! I was in process of finding a long-term apartment in Austin and Deanna's place was perfect for me to stay for a couple of weeks. The location helped me a lot since I didn't have a car: my office is downtown and it was ~15 minutes away walking.
There are some nice cafes around. The house is also not far from a trail around the Lady Bird Lake, which let us run every other morning.
Overall – great place, great host. If you need a place close to downtown, here's your choice."
5126932,36226713,2015-06-26,22542074,Laurence,"Thank you so much for such a pretty, well decorated, apartment.
As well as well located - easy walking distance to Downtown.
I will for sure go back and recommend it to as many people as possible.
Deanna and family were best host ever.
Wishing them a wonderful summer !
Lo"
5126932,36549693,2015-06-29,16878558,J,"Deanna could not have been a better hostess and our accomodations could not have been better suited. She was kind, helpful and exceptionally willing to go beyond our expectations in every step.  The accommodations were clean and exactly as described. With small children, not having steps was great.  The apt. is well appointed and we were met with snacks, water and a bottle of wine in the refrigerator with coffee and other subtle but very nice things included.  Almost hate to be so positive because I would not want to stay anywhere else in Austin."
5126932,38800481,2015-07-18,21300514,Eva,"For a convenient, cozy place in Austin it surely can't get better than this! Deanna was incredibly accommodating the entire time, starting when she promptly and graciously agreed to host me the SAME day as a last minute business trip came up. Access to downtown and the Austin Convention Center is less than five minutes by car. This place is perfect if you're in town for a conference and want an authentic Austin experience. East Austin is fun and up and coming with lots of cool coffee shops and restaurants. The apartment is well-appointed with nice touches such as organic snacks and fruit and natural bath products. It's spacious and quiet. I didn't want to leave!   "
5126932,41042741,2015-08-03,12238046,Bilal,"Deanna was the ideal host. We were staying in Austin for one day, and this cosy, modern, and chic apartment provided the ideal stay. Deanna was very clear and quick to communicate with from the moment we booked, and then went onto to provide pleasant hospitality, including delicious muffins and a bottle of wine when we arrived. It was my wife's birthday, for whom Deanna left a sweet message. 

The location of the home os great (5-10 minute drive to pretty much anywhere you would want to go out, eat, party in the city; and there are several of spots you can walk/cycle to also which is a bonus). Space for parking and easy access in and out of the home. In short, our stay was no fuss and a lot of fun. Highly recommended."
5126932,44636715,2015-08-28,11520509,Rachael,"This apartment was exactly as described!  Absolutely adorable, with nice little touches that made me feel more at home.  Deanna had a lovely welcome for my arrival, with a bottle of wine, pretty pink roses, fruit and some snacks to get me started.  The apartment was also well stocked with coffee, milk and natural soaps and toiletries.  She and her husband were there to answer any questions and even helped me out with laundry.  I felt very safe in the area and was within a few blocks of several restaurants and coffee shops.  This is a great location to explore Austin from, if you don't have a car.  Thank you Deanna for a very pleasant, lovely stay in Austin!"
5126932,45218273,2015-08-31,42320559,Lauren,"Deanna was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. She gave us a tour of the apartment and also some tips on local spots to try (food, drinks, etc.) There was also a welcome basket which was a very nice touch. The neighbourhood is easily accessible and was a short cab ride to downtown. 
The apartment was exactly ""as advertised"" and was quite comfortable. We had a two night stay but would have happily stayed for longer. A great choice for Austin... "
5126932,46992783,2015-09-14,321448,Ross,"Wonderful hosts who were accessible at all times. The apartment was comfortable, clean, and close to 6th Street and Rainey Street. "
5126932,47613209,2015-09-21,29191963,Jaclyn,"I just have to say WOW! This was my mine and my husband's first AirBnB experience and Deanna and her family made it an awesome one. First of all, the house was impeccable...not a spot of dust! We loved the design and decor, too. Most of all, we were just so pleased with the comfiness of our lodging. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed...from an ironing board, to hair dryer, to coffee, to breakfast snacks. Our hosts were very hospitable and even gave us free rides with Uber! If you need a place in Austin that is near to downtown and great bars and restaurants, I would stay with Deanna! "
5126932,48427072,2015-09-26,1793287,Elise,We had a great stay here! Deanna and her husband made us feel very welcome and the description was accurate. The apartment was great and was walking distance to food/bars. Would love to stay here again if we find ourselves in Austin again. 
5126932,48755044,2015-09-28,43114121,Natalie,Deanna was an amazing host - made us feel right at home.  The space was super cute - updated and modern and perfect for our weekend getaway.  Deanna was really accommodating and turned the place around quickly so so we could check in early.  Close to the Colo River/rec path if you want to get in a good walk/run or bike ride (we did both).  Used Uber quite a bit to get into downtown and it was super easy and cheap.  Highly recommend this house if you are in Austin!
5126932,49684370,2015-10-05,10088386,Hande,"Deanna is one of the nicest host you would ever meet. She was always very responsive, helpful and kind. The unit is really nice, very well furnished and super clean. The location is 5-10 minutes to all the cool stuff in East Austin - where locals hang out and 3-5 mins uber ride to Downtown. Deanna's welcome pack  (bottle of wine, fruits, Kind bars, oatmeal etc), fresh flowers and personalized welcome note made us feel home as soon as we get in. Also worth to mention the amazing The Seaweed  Bath Co products (from Austin) in the bathroom!  I highly recommend Deanna's place to stay in Austin!"
5126932,50645174,2015-10-13,42949868,Mary,"Deanna was an excellent host! The place was adorable- straight out of a magazine! Deanna had some snacks, breakfast food, and some wine as well as some restaurant recommendations waiting for us when we arrived. The place was very clean and well kept. This was our first time using Airbnb and will definitely be using it again. Thanks Deanna, we had a great time in Austin! "
5126932,51295569,2015-10-19,11395036,Michael,"Our stay at Deanna's Apartment was great. Deanna was very responsive, helpful and professional. The location was perfect with easy access to Rainy Street, 6th street and great neighborhood spots. 

The apartment was very clean and very private. They even have a parking spot for their guests.  I would highly recommend this location!"
5126932,51729135,2015-10-24,322341,Kate,"Wonderful apartment, stylish, new and clean in a great location. Deanna is a super host leaving wine and goodies on our arrival and making sure we were sorted with everything need. There is Amazon Prime, Wifi and lots of dpace in a very peaceful location. We would recommend staying here if you are in Austin!"
5126932,52209449,2015-10-27,33597018,Crystal,Absolutely adorable newly renovated space within walking distance of tons of great restaurants and bars downtown. We stayed primarily for the formula one race and the location literally couldn't have been more of a dream. We were a 10 or 15 min walk from the convention center where a shuttle transported us to and from the track for $10 per day. This meant we didn't have to pay $300 for parking or deal with the hassle of fighting traffic on race day. Cannot express enough the perfect location. They allowed us to park in the driveway which was great as we had a rental car. Everything was very clean... I have severe allergies and had absolutely no issue whatsoever. Place was exactly as pictured. We were greeted upon arrival and shown around our space. However they do have a lockbox for the key in case you check in or out at an odd time (although I would highly recommend getting a chance to talk with them as they were super kind and entertaining). Loved the recommendations on places to eat/drink and they even left us a bottle of wine for our anniversary! Only negative was a squeaky box spring under the comfy mattress... but I'm a heavy sleeper and was exhausted every night so it posed no problem for me. We loved the place and got so much inspiration for future renovations for our own home. Would definitely return!
2419974,17493981,2014-08-12,15360651,Chris,The reservation was canceled 59 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2419974,22182121,2014-11-01,18157706,Zemed,"Sasha took me around the entire place as soon as I got there. Everything was as expected. She provided extra bedding as we had a lot of people in the group, but it turned out she provided more than was necessary. She was also available for calls and texts as needed. The house is an extremely nice part of town. "
2419974,28707889,2015-03-29,27066454,Scott,House was clean and had enough sleeping spots for 12 people.  Had extra blankets and towels and a great yard to hang out in.  Overall a very good experience!
2419974,44746058,2015-08-28,31291247,Caitlin,"This was an awful experience. When I arrived, there was a dog in the foyer and it started barking and moving toward me. Though I am very comfortable with dogs, I was very startled and moved quickly to exit the house. I called the host and she said she would take care of it. The downstairs tenant came to the door and said she would put the dog away. I was glad, but still displeased that it had happened in the first place.

I reentered the house and noticed that it was very hot and smelled strongly of marijuana. I texted the host about the AC and she told me where the thermostat was so I could turn it down; it read 85 degrees. I was frustrated that the AC had not already been on in preparation for our arrival because it was the middle of August in Texas and thus very hot outside (~100 degrees). I turned it down as she advised, but 2 hours later the temperature had not gone down at all.

As other members of our party started arriving, we noticed how dirty the house was—dust on many surfaces along with spiders. Part of the ceiling in the kitchen was peeling down and a cabinet was hanging off its hinges. We were trying to be positive so we sat down at the dining table to wait for the rest of our group to arrive. While we were sitting, the door off the kitchen/dining area that lead to the downstairs unit opened and a young boy, maybe 8 to 10 years old, started to walk in. He did not have a shirt on and didn't say anything. I told him he needed to go back downstairs and he did. I got up to lock the door, frustrated that it was not already locked. When we tried unsuccessfully to use the only key we'd been given to lock the door between the units and realized there was nothing securing us from the other tenants, on top of everything else, we decided if would not be smart to stay there. Thankfully, a member of our party lived in town and generously offered to let all of us stay at her place. If this had not been an option, we would have been stranded.

I sent the host a text message as a courtesy to let her know that we were leaving and would not be returning. She responded very rudely: ""Sorry it was so difficult for you to figure out how to use a thermostat. Thought it was pretty basic. Whiny girls. Good riddance."" (That is a direct quote).

Again, this was an awful experience and I would NOT recommend this listing. 0 stars."

78731,3782276,2013-03-14,4917692,Aaron,"We stayed at Robin's house for 5 days during SXSW 2013, and with all the hotels booked up, Robin's house was a life-saver.  The location was close enough to walk to the downtown hotspots (as long as it wasn't raining) without being in the middle of the craziness.  

The house is exactly as described and shown in the pictures: clean, comfortable and well-decorated.  The outdoor porch and patio are perfect for having a morning cup of coffee.  As stated in the ad, Robin has a dog and a couple cats that live on the property (they lived outside or in the efficiency apartment next-door during our stay), but all her pets are friendly and didn't bother us at all.

Robin was a wonderful host.  She went out of her way to make this a home away from home.  The pantry and fridge were stocked with the essentials, and she made sure we had plenty of towels, toiletries etc.  Robin was very respectful of our privacy, but she made sure to check in with us before, during and after the stay to make herself available if we needed anything at all.

Highly-recommended house and host!"
78731,10964994,2014-03-15,3890555,Matthew,"Awesome space and a perfect location for SXSW. I always try to stay in East Austin when I visit, and this spot is a great reminder of why - very short walk to downtown and everywhere important, and ever so slightly off the beaten path so you have a spot to relax when you need to. There's good feels inside, a nice patio and fire pit out back, and it's just down the block from Switched On and Blue Dahlia for great espresso, brunch, and vintage synth gear. Thank you."
7547117,42334514,2015-08-12,539837,Fabiola,"Sean and Alan (the roommates in the house) were very nice and accommodating, and had good recommendations for what to do in the neighborhood and in Austin. I found the house very clean and welcoming, and it was central enough for me to get to downtown and the bars and restaurants on east 6th. There are also some fun places to go right in the neighborhood. Though the room is small (as mentioned in the listing) I found it just fine for my stay because it was well-stocked and the bed was comfortable. There is also a TV in the living room for relaxing and Scraps is a very sweet cat. Overall I had a great stay."
7547117,43195706,2015-08-17,32769978,Boyang, I  was hosted by Sean and Alan. They are very easygoing and friendly. It's very lucky to have this place. The house is in a very quiet and safe area. My room is very cozy and clean. The bed is comfortable. You can use the kitchen to cook your own food. It feels like in your own home. And there is a old piano in the living room. I had a very good time in Austin. So I definitely recommend staying here.  
7547117,43594760,2015-08-20,4032184,Jonathan,"Very very nice guy! Didn't talk to
Him much but the house was beautifully decorated and you immediately feel at home!"

This was my first experience using Airbnb and it will definitely not be the last. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. "
7547117,45028711,2015-08-30,28503439,Harry,"I had a great stay with Sean and Alan! Both were extremely welcoming and kind. The house was great. I spent most of my time out and about all around Austin, and found this to be awesome central location. I think it took around 5-10 minutes to get downtown, which was fantastic. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. I felt right at home! This was my first experience using Airbnb and I had an awesome time. I recommend staying here!"
7547117,45840721,2015-09-06,41425260,Christopher,"Our hosts were very respectful and keep a clean home. We liked the art and furnishings in the home. We weren't at the house very much, but when we were, it was a great experience!"

7547117,49326868,2015-10-03,40452893,Damian,"The two occupants Sean and Alan were welcoming and provided helpful advice about living and travelling in Austin. The house, and especially the guest room was cozy and modern. It is located close to both downtown, as well as the UT Austin campus."
7547117,50823179,2015-10-14,45171059,Christina,"It was perfect. At first the naborhood seemed a bit sketchy, but that was because we arrived at night. But in the day time it turned out being okay. 
The boys are very welcoming and helpful. We could use the home as it was our own. "

7547117,51967206,2015-10-25,46100635,James,"This is a great inexpensive alternative to a hotel for someone who simply needs a place to stay. Nice comfortable double bed. It is simply a room in a small house, with a shared bath ... but it is lockable and private enough. Especially for a football weekend + Formula 1 race which made hotels ridiculously overpriced.
Nice, friendly hosts who were great at communicating and acomodating my schedule."
7547117,52972575,2015-11-03,35746776,Daniel,The listing was exactly as advertised and very clean. The hosts were really kind and welcoming. Me and my girlfriend felt very comfortable staying there.

6358957,32216450,2015-05-15,4056431,Christian,"Kim's place was awesome; It was comfortable, clean, and in a great neighborhood. She was super welcoming and gave me lots of great food recommendations (I'm a foodie). 

Her apartment was in a great location and Kim made it really easy for me to get my bearings and take advantage of all the good restaurants and bars nearby. It sort of felt like I was staying with a friend. We grabbed dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant and she made me feel right at home.

Her dog was very chill and the apartment was super clean. I would recommend Kim's place to anyone who wants a great place to stay in Austin and I hope to be able to show Kim around Denver at some point!
"
6358957,33310447,2015-05-26,33236041,Kimberly,"I can't say enough good things about Kim and her place. Our room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. The apartment is really cute with a great shower and access to a washer/dryer and amazing air conditioning. The location is fantastic, a short drive or Uber from everything we wanted to do, with great places to eat just a short walk away. The apartment complex has a pretty courtyard and pool to use as well. Kim was the best! Super friendly and really helpful with tons of advice on what to do and where to go. Her dog was SO SWEET and the best to hang around. We had a great time!! Highly recommend. "
6358957,35231125,2015-06-16,33307986,Gloria,"Kimberly was an awesome host! She was fun and so hospitable. My friend and I stayed for a short weekend, but we loved her place and would definitely stay there if we visit Austin again. Even before we met, Kim was communicative and friendly, giving us recommendations and being accommodative. If our stay was longer, we would have loved to hang out some more! Bonus: her dog was the most well-behaved dog ever!"
6358957,35842549,2015-06-22,34711279,Chris,"I really liked Kim's place, it was comfortable and felt very much like a home. I didn't get a chance to meet Kim in person as she was overseas during my stay, however we kept in touch and she was a great help during my stay in Austin. Check in was easy and the entire apartment complex was very laid back and nice; the neighborhood itself felt very safe. I'm disappointed that I didn't set aside more time in Austin as there is a great riverside park area that I was looking forward to exploring - Next time!
Thanks again Kim, I really enjoyed staying in your home :)"
6358957,36724952,2015-06-30,33025414,Nicholas,"Kimberly's place was awesome! Super easy checkin and very flexible with everything. It made my experience that much better!! She is very down to earth and laid back. She introduced me to some of her friends which made getting to know people a lot easier. I booked a one way ticket to Austin, and I am glad I did. I have met many great people, and plan on moving here in the next month! Abbey was a super chill dog!"
6358957,37488673,2015-07-07,1690424,David,"I stayed three nights at Kim's place with my girlfriend. On arrival, we were greeted by her sweet dog and had a cozy bedroom all ready for us. The location is perfect to access Downtown and South Congress via a short Uber ride (we even walked back from downtown a few times). We were busy so we didn't see Kim often, but she was very accommodating and pleasant. I would definitely stay with her again and recommend her place to anyone visiting Austin. "
6358957,39810840,2015-07-26,30557494,Alyssa,"Kim was a great host! One of my favorite AIRBNBs so far. She is very welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel at home.

6358957,41781975,2015-08-09,36723916,Grant,"Kimberly was a great host, and her dog was so sweet.  She was very helpful in suggesting things to do and places to eat.  Her apartment was clean and the bed was very comfortable.  The neighborhood was really nice; a short ride to downtown, but far enough out that it was peaceful.  It was a short walk to south congress and to Barton Springs.    "
6358957,43683917,2015-08-21,40626152,Bo,"Kimberly is both a generous and polite host. As my first AirBnb experience, I didn't know what to expect. The place was exactly as described. The bed was comfortable also. The dog is super friendly and lazy. From this location you are a quick jog away from downtown, the river, Zilker park, etc. I had no issues getting around on Uber or Lyft from this location. I recommend it to anyone."
6358957,44577392,2015-08-27,24082584,Max,"We spent a great time in Austin. The apartment is very central and closed to a lot of fun activities. Kimberly was very helpful. She gave us full of good advices of activities, bar, restaurants.."
6358957,45185575,2015-08-31,9682410,Jason,Kimberly is a wonderful example of why airbnb works so well. Within minutes of meeting her I felt like we were good old friends. Her engaging and hospitable personality brightened every day of my stay in Austin. She also went above and beyond in helping me with transportation and making me feel comfortable for my audition with the symphony. This was truly a memorable trip thanks to Kim and Abby (her dog).
6358957,46049250,2015-09-07,21853909,Dallas,"I had a great time staying with Kim! She was a fantastic host, and her adorable dog Abby is a sweet, cuddly teddy bear. The pictures of the place are very accurate, my room was clean and spacious (with ample closet space as well), and Kim had towels and some other toiletries out in case I forgot them. I messaged Kim the night before I left because I didn't want to bring a hair dryer (and take up extra space in my suitcase) and she was so quick to respond and let me know that she had an extra one for me to use. She also provided great recommendations for restaurants and other activities, as I really wanted to go kayaking and she was able to offer some great tips. Kim also sent a detailed message before my arrival with information that I would need to get to her place, and she was helpful in suggesting transportation in the area as well. I really enjoyed Kim's company for the few days that I stayed with her, she is friendly, sociable, down to earth, and a genuinely nice person. I would definitely recommend staying with her if you are looking for an affordable, quaint, and quiet place to stay in Austin!"
6358957,46705158,2015-09-13,6988549,Ryan,Kimberly is a great host and the apartment is in a great location! This is a surefire way to enjoy your time in Austin. Her Bernese Mountain Dog is a pleasant bonus. Book today!

La localisation de l'appartement est parfaite à ""walking distance"" du centre ville, du parc et seulement 15' de l'aéroport. Certainement une chambre et une hôte que je recommande. "
6358957,48890952,2015-09-29,28638888,Emma,"Kimberly was very friendly and was completely prepared for us. Her home is warm and inviting, and she provided us with some great recommendations for things to do and where to eat. Kimberly's home is ideally located close enough to downtown it is easy to get anywhere, but is nice and quiet. Her dog is super sweet and we had a lovely time in Austin! I would definitely stay here again!"
6358957,49784385,2015-10-06,7012339,Hallie,"Although I didn't get to meet her Kim made us feel very welcome in her home.

686463,2636761,2012-10-16,1723364,Branson,Excellent home! We loved the space.  Sera was very easy to work with for our group visting Austin for ACL.  We were roughly a mile walk to the park and each adult was able to sleep in their own room including a fun and funky trailer located in the front drive.  The house was clean and ready for us when we arrived.  Sera was quick to respond to questions throughout the entire process.  Thanks! We would recommend this house for anyone looking for a place to stay in Austin!
686463,3823401,2013-03-18,4980539,Angie,"Lovely house! Great architecture! We stayed here during SXSW with 7 adults and one toddler. Our son loved all the toys and the house was perfectly childproof. The adults all felt very at home and comfortable. The camper is beautifully restored on the inside, and made for a great separate room. Sera was very helpful and easy to get a hold of if we needed anything. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone."
686463,3987161,2013-04-01,4290196,Anthea,"Sera's house was great! We were a party of ten (four adults, six teenagers from 14 to 19) and there was ample room, it was comfortable and really nice, and completely as described on the site. The location was also great, within easy walking distance of Barton Springs Pool and S Lamar and a bit further (still fine for adults and older kids) South Congress St. Sera was very helpful before and during the stay, she gave us recommendations for local places to eat and to see live music, and was flexible about arrival and departure times. We would thoroughly recommend this to anyone."
686463,7917171,2013-10-08,7243643,Erin,"Wonderful! We stayed here for ACL with 10 adults and it worked out perfectly! The house is very comfortable, clean, and a great location!! Sera was a joy to work with, and even let us drink her home brew beers (yum!). It takes about 10 min (about one beer) to walk down to Barton Springs. The walk home is a little uphill but it isn't too bad! I highly recommend staying here! We will definitely be back for ACL next year! Thank you!!"
686463,10906491,2014-03-12,12178152,Francisco,"Sera and her home were perfect for our stay during SXSWi. 6 of us stayed very comfortably in her home, and the location was great. We were able to walk to the bus stop on Lamar for a short bus ride to the downtown area, which was a huge plus. I would absolutely recommend Sera's home to anyone looking to visit Austin for SXSW, ACL or just to enjoy the city. "
686463,21224684,2014-10-13,21133809,Katya,"Sera's place was as described and as per the photos.  We had everything we needed in an artsy homey setting.  The covered back patio was a great place for the 7 of us to hang out together, rain or shine. She contacted us ahead of time to confirm arrival and departure times, key collection, etc.  Everything was hassle free and we were a convenient walk down to ACL and back. "
686463,25352558,2015-01-13,23417876,Chris,"Sera was wonderful! Met us at the house and got us all squared away with keys, wifi password, and even a bar of chocolate! The neighborhood was quiet and the neighbors were nice. Overall a great experience and we'll definitely stay here again if we're ever in Austin in the future!"
686463,37354171,2015-07-06,33316653,Chris,Great place in an excellent location. We had an awesome time.

6199492,34006596,2015-06-03,32069312,Brian,"Greg is super knowledgeable about Austin. He is very easy to get ahold of and his place is perfect for short visits to Austin.

I stayed at Greg's place when I first moved to Austin, and he was very willing to show me around the city, and he suggested some great places to see and restaurants to eat at. His place is conveniently located just a short bike ride or walk from downtown.

The place is very clean, and Greg graciously allowed me to take advantage of his things while I was here. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to stay in Austin!"

The house is spacious and beds very comfy, especially the master bedroom!  Two very clean and functional bathrooms with a nice backyard to boot!  The neighborhood was very quiet and only a 10 minute Lyft ride to SXSW convention downtown.  Highly recommended!  

PS - Quacks was a great coffee shop/bakery 4 blocks away for a delightful breakfast...."

As our family made a mistake on reserve the hotel for the wrong day for my graduation ceremony. It was a last minute call to book the place, Ed was extremely helpful as the house was not suppose to be ready on our staying period. However he help us pushing to give us a nice place to stay.  "
6421267,33186756,2015-05-25,33656173,Kirk,We were unable to make it to austin that weekend because our child became ill the night before we were heading to austin. We tried to discuss a refund or credit towards another stay but we were unable to get help from Airbnb (good luck contacting them) or the owner. Not the best experience. 
6421267,35503134,2015-06-19,35222696,Louis,"Enjoyed the stay - 11 days. Great location. Nicely furnished. Awesome kitchen with high grade appliances, utensils and dishes. This house has an attached garage which kept us dry getting to/from the car on several occasions - it is also convenient for holding excess gear. Great value for the price."
6421267,35714644,2015-06-21,30218932,Nick,"By far, the best AirBNB value I've had so far.  Ed's home was the perfect Austin location for a short visit with a few of my friends.  It's tucked away in a residential neighborhood but is within 5-10 minutes of the major Austin locales.  Ed's communication was excellent leading up to and during the stay, and the place was exactly (if not better) than described.  This would be the perfect place to stay for either a short trip or an extended stay in Austin.  I would definitely stay here again without hesitation.  Thanks Ed!"
6421267,36129523,2015-06-25,35404692,Caroline,This place is amazing and by far the best deal in town! The entire home has been remodeled and everything is literally brand new. The open floor plan makes the place seem bigger as well. The beds were well appointed and very comfortable too. The master bedroom has a large and luxurious bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and TV. Ed was a great host who responded quickly throughout the entire booking process and guest stay. The house manual he created is accurate and easy to understand. This house is a winner!!
6421267,36433182,2015-06-28,22123701,Karen,Ed was a great host and always very responsive which made the whole experience very smooth. The house itself was beautiful and spacious and clean. Its location was close to a lot of good restaurants. I definitely plan on staying here again for future trips!
6421267,36900872,2015-07-02,13636662,Julie,This is a fantastic property.  It is clean and uncluttered.  The kitchen is very well stocked with all the essentials needed for cooking.  The master bathroom is wonderful and the bed was very comfortable.  I travel to Austin frequently and this is the best place I've ever stayed.  Check in and out was easy and Ed was great with communications.  Hoping to stay here often in the future.
6421267,37871719,2015-07-11,34852474,Clay,"We had an amazing time at Club Ed. It was such a nice place. There were some problems and Ed was always on top of it. If you're visiting Austin and need a place to stay, it doesn't get any nicer than this for the price. "
6421267,38037984,2015-07-12,37036360,Mike,"My family and I stayed at Ed's place for a quick weekend getaway. It was great. A beautiful, clean, comfortable home. Close to everything. He had plenty of info about the area and was great at keeping communications open(which was important to me as this was my first time using airbnb). Thanks  Ed! It was a cool experience."
6421267,39398889,2015-07-23,6092321,Gabriel,"We really could not have been happier with our Stay at Club Ed :) We were visiting from overseas, and having a comfortable home base was super important to us.  It was better than expected, with every amenity you could ask for, and it is perfectly decorated. It will be your favorite home away from home. Ed is a great host, and is only there as much as you need him to be. Really you can stop looking you won't find a better place. "
6421267,39645244,2015-07-25,36289575,Madison,"We had a great time! The house was very nice, clean and offered exceptional accommodations. Great location too! Ed made everything an easy process and was very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this rental. "

6421267,40227566,2015-07-29,21377230,Rob,The house was great and the location was perfect. It was very comfortable and very nice. Great kitchen and master suite. Located close to Barton springs and the green belt. $10 uber ride downtown. Had it not been 102 degrees out we probably would have made use of the hot tub. Ed was a great host and super helpful. 
6421267,40616070,2015-08-01,29522289,Anthony,This house is fantastic!! very roomy and comfortable with everything you need to enjoy the stay. Close to all the fun of Austin as well.
6421267,40772199,2015-08-02,36885734,Debra,"Ed's place was our first Airbnb experience and we are completely sold on this mode of travel stays because of him. Communication was friendly and clear. He waved his ""no back to back stays"" policy to accommodate us (meant he had to flip house quickly and at a specific time) and we were the winners because of this. 

Every interior surface has been redone and updated with guests in mind, from the appliances to the tile work. We were sad to be staying only one night and intend to book with Ed again. My husband was ecstatic at the travel value.

We also loved the location. I went for a walk in the quiet neighborhood in the morning and made friends with a neighbor cat while enjoying gorgeous hill country views. We were a close and speedy drive  to the fun, trendy Austin can't miss spot of South Congress. There are several well known restaurants a few minutes drive away, and it is always a bonus in Austin if you can land someplace that avoids traffic. 

Coconut popsicles in the freezer were the perfect welcome treat enjoyed on the back patio. Never got in the hot tub because it was a hot summer day and night but that's on the to do list should we return in the cooler season. 

Ed runs classy operation. Thanks Ed.

We hope to come back when we need a place to stay in Austin.  Ed was very accommodating and the communication between us was amazing. Thanks Ed for being a great host. 
6421267,43631265,2015-08-21,2203911,Taylor,"Ed, was an incredibly helpful host. The house was great and exactly as described. It is located in an excellent location for anyone looking to really experience Austin, but also with plenty of room to relax away from it all. 
"
6421267,43945206,2015-08-23,22855111,Roger,"A very functional home.  I. love the kitchen  I was able to get a breakfast made for our crew.  The backyard is a great area to lounge.  We even used the hot tub on a hot August night!

The place was clean and convenient to our downtown excursions through Uber and Lyft."
6421267,44431688,2015-08-26,32722044,Cody,"Staying at Club Ed was awesome. Close to the tech park on S Mopac and close to food, shopping and retail. Ubers are quick and cheap. Eds place was clean, very nice and one of the best places I've stayed. Way better than a hotel! Thanks Ed!"
6421267,44912391,2015-08-30,32995778,Lauren,"This house was perfect in almost every way. The house was extremely updated and new; great fixtures, appliance, and amenities. There were the perfect amount of beds and bathrooms for 7 girls for the weekend. The proximity couldn't have been better and above all Ed's price was the best we found in the entire city. Next time I am in Austin I will definitely be staying at Club Ed!"
6421267,45383703,2015-09-02,37265939,Mona,Ed's place was great! The bed was so comfortable! The whole place was very clean and spacious! Loved my stay here! 
6421267,46707752,2015-09-13,35908915,Faith,"4.5 stars easily!

Ed definitely made us feel welcome and I felt like I could ask him questions. Hey also helped with time accommodations when I was coming in to town. The neighborhood was VERY safe and I never had to worry about our large group of ladies enjoying our fun-filled bachelorette weekend in Austin. Being on minutes from downtown, we were able to take uber for a good price to get around town. It was also close to great stores like Hobby Lobby, Wheatsville, Specs, and Wal-Mart. I think HEB was only about 5min further.

The house was very clean (I'm pretty picky), & with about 8-10 ladies in and out, no one felt cramped. 2 air mattresses fit, though we were close to each other (not a problem for us). 

Pros:
Space
Location
Cost
Accessibility to Ed
Gas grill
Back patio
Proximity to stores and downtown
Great up-to-date kitchen appliances

Cons:
Ice machine didn't work (it would make like 6 cubes in 6hrs or more, which was not fun when trying to make drinks...)

Jacuzzi wouldn't get hot, even left the warmer on overnight (tried to reach Ed, but didn't get around to using it)

Fall precautions on the very pretty pebble path-esp if someone is intoxicated, prone to falls, slick shoes, etc.

There wasn't dish soap (but not that big of a deal...Just bring a little supply of your own)

6421267,47839936,2015-09-21,43822449,Nicholas,"The house was immaculate and well kept, it was nicely updated with new appliances and really felt comfortable and modern! All the necessary home items we needed were readily available. Ed provided idiot proof instructions that made the experience a pleasure, when I am in Austin again, I hope to stay here again!  I highly recommend this incredible place."

6421267,50038344,2015-10-08,25705173,Holly,"Ed's a gracious host and very communicative. The house was gorgeous, with a great backyard. The neighborhood was close enough to downtown and the fun things, but far enough away as well. I went for a jog through the nice neighborhood and really enjoyed myself. We will definitely stay with Ed again on future trips to Austin. I highly recommend this charming place to stay!"
6421267,50282147,2015-10-11,38409135,Jody,We loved the place!  Ed was great and very helpful with feedback.  We were there for ACL and found the house was a little farther from the venue than we thought but there were plenty of uber drivers available.  It was great to come back after a long fun day to a quiet comfy house! Thanks Ed
6421267,50525141,2015-10-12,25771332,Heather,"Great location, in a quiet neighborhood yet convenient to everywhere in town. House is modern and clean. Ed the host was very nice and accommodating, tried his best to meet our needs. Thanks! "

6421267,51816498,2015-10-24,3261258,Stephen,"Communication was great. Never met Ed, but never needed to. His welcome package for Club Ed has everything you need for coming and going.

Will stay again if we have the opportunity."
6421267,52066865,2015-10-26,43104921,Ross,"Easy to get entry with keyless system, house was very clean and as advertised.  Completely redone with hardwood floors and modern kitchen, nice sized living room and common area."
6421267,52819028,2015-11-02,23811040,David,Great experience at Ed's house! Despite torrential rains the house was great for exploring Austin. Would definitely book again when coming back to the Austin area.
6421267,53202013,2015-11-06,33999028,Rick,Great location and home. Will come back for sure!
4279491,22505260,2014-11-08,7310995,Jessica,"We came to Austin for FFFfest and this complex is just a short taxi/uber/lyft ride away from downtown ($10-$12), where all the action is. There are a ton of convenient stores as well as a large grocery store just around the corner from the complex as well. Remember in Texas you can't buy liquor on Sundays, stock up if necessary on Saturday. A great location and nice place to stay for either going downtown or exploring the many upcoming neighborhoods in the surrounding area!"
4279491,26419610,2015-02-12,5276073,Kim,Antonio was a very attentive hose.  Our accomodations were excellent.   We loved the location.  We will most definately stay there again.

4279491,27506264,2015-03-06,8522875,Clarissa,Everything was just as Antonio said it would be. The apartment was easy to find and in a wonderful location -- so easy to get to downtown and wonderful to walk around the lake. Neighborhood & neighbors were nice and quiet.
4279491,30090975,2015-04-17,9167399,John,"Really enjoyed my stay at Antonio's place. He was a great host and met all my needs. The place was clean and quiet and located close to everything: grocery stores, gym, parks, and the river. Would recommend him and his place to anyone interested in staying in Austin. "
4279491,31937710,2015-05-12,12147985,Sean,The location was great close to the boardwalk and a nice bar that is only a few blocks away with great BBQ and Vegan food. The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable.
4279491,33069689,2015-05-25,18748524,Stephanie,It was a great place to stay - every thing was clean and updated. Great value!
4279491,34545028,2015-06-09,8478250,Pete,Antonio's place was great.  We mainly were in the apartment to sleep as we were on the go throughout the entire stay.  The place was very clean and Antonio provided all the necessary details regarding the stay.  Great experience.
4279491,38885809,2015-07-19,30129500,Saurin,Everything was perfect. No complains. I will recommend the place to others as well.

4279491,40362925,2015-07-30,23261061,Rookie,"Antonio's place,Was perfect! Quite, comfortable, affordable and in a great location. Very clean. Shower is great beds are comfortable. Modern style apartments. There is a little outdoor seating backyard  which was nice.  A/C works great which was a life saver.will definitely rent again when in austin. Thank you again Antonio. Everything was great!"
4279491,40861488,2015-08-02,39867045,Maria,"Antonio was a great host. Answered all our questions. Good location for visiting universities. The neighborhood is good, easy parking and friendly neighbors.
What you see in the pictures is what you get. The apartment was clean and the linen was new and nice."
4279491,41499264,2015-08-07,30067755,Megan,Great location! The space was nice and clean. Very comfortable beds. Wonderful host. 
4279491,42079154,2015-08-10,8730188,John,The listing was exactly as described!  Great open layout and lots of room in the apartment.
4279491,43781719,2015-08-22,13795102,Imeldia,"The Location was perfect for me, Super Convenient.  Close to downtown, but not IN Downtown.  Only about a 10 min drive.  Great space.  Large rooms and closets!  The apartment is very minimalistic and low maintenance, but all the basics are there... Comfortable beds, Large TV, Good Kitchen, Coffeemaker, Microwave, Frigerator, Stove....etc...AND NO PAID PARKING...like downtown.  There is an HEB, right around the corner, and other fast foods.  Antonio was helpful, but very un-intrusive.  I am definately considering staying here again for conferences.  I like getting away from the downtown scene, but not having a long drive to get to the convention center, either.  Antonio did a nice job."
4279491,44240130,2015-08-24,34836657,Kristin,Antonio's place was exactly as described! It was easy to check in and check out. The place was in a easy location to get to and it was very roomy!
4279491,48760095,2015-09-28,21096077,Catherine,"Very close to downtown Austin, just a short Uber ride away.  Place was as described, easy check-in and check-out.  "
4279491,49088978,2015-09-30,28944443,Melanie,The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4279491,50744645,2015-10-14,37065912,Austin,"We had a great time staying at Antonio's place. It was everything that was stated in the description. There was AC, a tempur-pedic mattress in the larger bedroom, and Netflix/Hulu on the TV. Very central location to everything you want to do in Austin. Antonio was very responsive to any questions and gave pretty simple instructions on upkeep and check-in/check-out procedures. I'd definitely stay there again!"
8363877,50591943,2015-10-12,45939624,Lindsey,"Jon was a great host. Even though we didn't personally meet him, he was fast at responding to messages and generous with giving us all the information we needed for a pleasant stay. He even provided additional information about Austin to help us plan our trips more efficiently. The space was just as described and pictured, welcoming and beautiful!  We really appreciated all the accommodations and cleanliness of the apartment as well. The neighborhood was quiet and in a great location, close to all the essentials. Thank you for allowing us to share your space! "
8363877,51799551,2015-10-24,21322012,Taylor,"Great location. ""Efficient"" would definitely describe the unit. Everything you need in small quarters. Clean and cozy. I did not meet the host, but they were available if ever needed. "
8613947,49744059,2015-10-05,45444521,Ismael,"This was my first time using airbnb, and I'd like to say I had a great first experience. Thank you Jenny for hosting! The room was a nice place to come back to and just crash. Everything we needed for us to stay in a place was provided for here. The neighborhood has many nice local spots that are a short walking distance to. Including a small lot down the street where food trucks stay posted. 
                                                                                        -Thank You!"
8613947,50575048,2015-10-12,20284030,Agata,Jenny was away for the weekend of my stay. She greeted me and showed me where everything is. She was very friendly and her place was charming and comfortable. It's convenient location close to many restaurants and bars was a plus too.
1683155,10594187,2014-02-26,7027622,Kevin & Susan,"Darling house, great location , super (website hidden) was everything we needed and more. I hope to return soon. Thank you."
1683155,10742553,2014-03-05,10330079,Paul,"Nice renovated house near the southern end of South Congress. Overall I'd say the house really was what we were looking for-spacious, comfortable and in good shape. The neighbour's cats were a friendly surprise as we hung out on the porch on a warm day. If we had one issue it's probably the location-it was a little bit far from the heart of SoCo and downtown-it is walkable (in good weather) or a quick drive, but be mindful that cabs can take a very long time (60min+) to make their way for pickups from this location-though that's more of a knock at Austin cab companies. Service from Erica/Turnkey was seamless with a door code to access the house, and we would definitely look to rent their other properties in the future. "
1683155,11180142,2014-03-24,1764795,Layla,"The location, the space and the amenities would bring me and my guests back again. We were able to explore all that Austin had to offer from the house and collapse into an exhausted pile after a long day out and about. 

The neighborhood feels safe, it is quiet and the keyless entry was such a great perk. 

There were plenty of towels, beds and kitchen basics for our group of 6. With the grocery store around the corner, we appreciated that it was so well stocked. The parking is good and there is a lot of it. 

One of my friends did comment creatively that one bathroom was like going back in a time machine- very basic with a wine colored tub. The water pressure was a little low. We had some pillowcases that were discolored that we wouldn't put OUR heads on; but the place was clean. I recommend some replacements. 

Minor issues aside- this place is worth every penny. The hosts are friendly, welcoming and responsive to requests! You can rest easy if you're looking for a place a group of fun loving friends need to find when planning a trip to Austin! 

"
1683155,12175553,2014-04-25,11622247,Tom,We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It has 4 good sized bedrooms and with their permission we put another 2 in the living room. The location is very good for access to South Congress or the numerous restaurants on South 1st. It is very close to Oltorf but situated on a very quiet street.
1683155,12523613,2014-05-05,9168353,Ryan And Kerry,"The host was very accommodating and flexible with our arrival times.  They also checked on us during our stay to make sure everything was going well.  The house is about 1 mile from SoCo street and 2 miles from downtown in a quiet neighborhood, so it was difficult to get cabs from time to time.  The house is older, but for the price, it's great for accommodating a larger group. "
1683155,12854394,2014-05-12,701997,Sungho,"The host was proactive about my visit in making sure I knew everything I needed to abou the house, and responsive to all messages when I had questions or concerns. The house itself was clean and as described. The master room is almost a stand alone hotel room with it's own mini fridge and small appliances. "
1683155,13141324,2014-05-20,792215,Daniel,"Clean, simple, lodging in a nice area. Great for groups and walkable to bars and food on South Congress and 1st. "
1683155,13671148,2014-06-02,14164201,Kim,"Our experience with Erica was great!  Erica & her team were friendly & helpful.  The property was pretty; the neighborhood serene; and the house was clean, beautifully decorated, & had all the amenities we needed & more.  Our family felt so comfortable & safe.  We would certainly return, as well as recommend to others."
1683155,18354720,2014-08-25,1591848,Will,"Everything about the listing was spot-on: the neighborhood is great, walking distance to so many awesome things (restaurants, shopping, grocery store, etc.), and the house is huge and welcoming, with very nice fixtures, beds, and furniture, and tons and tons of towels."
1683155,19676199,2014-09-16,16859250,Nick,"The perfect place for my small group! This property exceeded our expectations and everyone who stayed with me had nothing but great things to say. The keyless entry is a great perk when various members of your group are coming and going at different times of the night. Not having to keep track of a single key is nice! The host was very gracious to allow a late checkout when some of our group had late departing flights. The host was also extremely proactive in providing necessary information prior to my arrival. I would highly recommend this property to a friend visiting Austin, and would stay here again in a heartbeat! "
1683155,20422633,2014-09-29,13569013,Karen,"Erica and her team were very professional and kept in touch throughout the weekend to make sure everything went smoothly for us. The keyless entry was fantastic, since I was staying there with seven other ladies and we were coming and going. We cooked at the house quite a bit, and the kitchen was great—though heads up y'all, no dishwasher!"
1683155,22895696,2014-11-17,14386222,Brian,Erica was super on top of things and kept us will updated with any necessary info. The house was perfect for our 5-person crew and located in an excellent spot that afforded easy access to everything we needed. Just great overall!
1683155,23149089,2014-11-24,11709705,Charles & Gwyneth,"We were in Austin for a wedding and this house was a great place for eight of us (plus a baby!) to stay. Location is fantastic. Grocery store within a few minutes walk as well as shops and restaurants (Magnolia Cafe is wonderful!). The house itself was in good shape. It was sweet having four bedrooms. Towels, sheets, and kitchen materials were all in good supply. We hosted a casual brunch for about 20 people and, though crowded, we still had enough room to mingle in the living room, kitchen, and dining area. At the end of our stay we had a relatively minor issue with a ceiling leak in the main bedroom, but Austin was suffering days of very hard, unrelenting rain during our few days there. Based on the great responsiveness of the host, it seemed that any lingering issues would be taken care of quickly. On the plus side, we loved having the covered porch to watch the storms pound away. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay in this comfortable house, mostly because it allowed us to be together."
1683155,23994458,2014-12-16,9623893,Liz,The house was great and perfect for a group stay for a wedding. It is run by a vacation rental company so I did not actually meet the host but the communication was excellent. When I arrived there was partial power in one of the rooms due to a tripped breaker but their rep walked me through locating and resetting it which was very easy. I was surprised as a New Yorker that there was no central heat in the house but there were many space heaters to take off the slight December chill.  I would give 4 1/2 stars if that was an option. 
1683155,26157142,2015-02-05,6319142,New,"The house was nice and clean when we arrived.  It was nestled in a nice quiet neighborhood, conveniently located 2 miles from the Convention Center.  There was an HEB grocery store around the corner that made it very nice to buy groceries.  There was not any central heat and it was very cold in Austin.  In the house was three space heaters, but one of them didn't work.  We requested two more heaters, but they weren't delivered to us until about 36 hours later, so the house was very cold they next morning.  Eventually they brought the heaters and we were warm.  The bathroom didn't have any electrical outlets and many of the outlets in the house didn't work."
1683155,26779222,2015-02-19,5243342,Stel,"Our family really enjoyed our stay at this residence.  The host company was very responsive to every inquiry we had (as well as our early arrival request), and the home was clean and comfortable.  The washer and dryer worked well, and the neighborhood is great--a short drive or brisk walk to some great eateries on South Congress. 
As the host indicated in the description, the home does not have central heating.  There are space heaters readily available, but we were hit with very cold weather (for Austin), and it was a bit of a challenge to keep the entire home warm.  This shouldn't be an issue most of the time, especially spring through early winter.  As someone else pointed out, some outlets could do with repairing.  All in all, we really enjoyed staying there, and would likely stay there again."
1683155,27347942,2015-03-02,27473812,Don,"The house was very neat and it was even better than the pictures. We didn't have to worry about keys because all you needed was a code to get in the house which was so convenient and the WiFi worked great. The house was perfect for the six of us and we each had our own bed. The master suite was perfect for me with my own modern bathroom. The other rooms were great as well. Although the house didn't have central heating, they provided us with more than enough plug in heaters to go around to keep us warm during the 30 degree weather we had that week in Austin. The host was only a phone call away and are willing to answer any questions. Plenty of house supplies in the house for you to use and it's only a couple blocks away from a 24/7 grocery store. There's a really cute cat that comes around the front porch, we claimed her and named her ""Jinxy"". We were sad to leave her. The neighbors across the street were nice and friendly.

I definitely would book this house when I come back to Austin. It was perfect. As far as Erica and the rest of her team, they were extremely helpful and accommodating. They have other properties in other cities so I would definitely try to book through them if I could. "
1683155,27649617,2015-03-09,26367512,Steven,Everything described about the house was accurate. It was a nice neighborhood and very quiet. Erica answered all my questions and was a great host. 
1683155,29824789,2015-04-13,24659842,Megan,"Erika was a great host to our recient stay in Austin. The house we great for our girls trip. There was 8 of us in total and we had plenty of space. The we also able to give us early check in and a late check out, which was awesome. She was also very helpful with restaurant suggestions in the area. The house was in a great location. "

1683155,31903246,2015-05-11,30163842,Christina,"Overall, the house was adequate for our group during our trip to Austin for a friend's wedding. 

The pros: 
Check in was easy and smooth
The location is great- easy to and from the airport and walking distance to South Congress
It was on a quiet street
There is a HEB right around the corner so it's super convenient to pick up groceries
Decent value but you get what you pay for

The cons: 
I'm not sure why they call the property renovated... there is an addition to the original house but nothing has been renovated. The main bathroom for the 3 bedrooms was old and had never been renovated. The window was painted shut and there was no ventilation for the bathroom. 

The house was dusty. It was hot during our time there and we had to run the window unit air conditioners. I don't typically have allergies but when we turned the units on, you could feel the dust in the air.  

The bedding was not what you hope for in a rental house. The pillows were old and flat and instead of duvets on the beds (that they could wash), there were comforters on at least two of the beds.  

Overall the house has a good location and Turnkey made the rental process easy. I do, however, think there are more recently renovated properties that offer as much value as this house. "
1683155,33924451,2015-06-02,1829057,Terry,"We were a group of six going to a wedding in the area.  The house was perfect for us.  It was small, yet roomy.  It was nice having an 800 number to call with any questions at any hour.  We did call the first night to find out how to get the TV to work.  They would have sent out a tech person to get it going, but we rebooted and that fixed it.  Location was great, with restaurants and HEB grocery store nearby.  We never met the owner.  She had a company handle management of the property.  Everything was as described.  Very well cared for."
1683155,41993401,2015-08-10,7803405,Victoria,"This house is in a great location, near to SoCo and with a supermarket in walking distance. Erica was excellent at communicating and allowed us to check in early and check out late. 

However, the house itself isn't as described, it has not been newly renovated and does not have a dishwasher. There are stains on the carpet and the bedding is quite old. The biggest problem we had was with the AC. Although the house has air-conditioning it is through some very old window units. At night if they are on it is very noisy and if you switch them off the house heats up quickly as it is poorly insulated and there are not ceiling fans in every bedroom. It does have a nice master suite which is has a quieter AC unit and seems more up to date. 

This house would be great for a large group of students but it is not how it is described. "
1683155,48797659,2015-09-28,44213177,Kendell,"The house was easy to access and there was no problem finding it. We had a cat that tried to get in every time we entered and that was an issue as many staying were allergic. The air conditioner in the second queen room didn't stay cold. The house was fairly clean but the bathroom with the red tub was dingy. The house is a little musty smelling, I was glad I brought some febreeze to help with that. It was well stocked with towels. The master bedroom had some roaches in it and the bed was quite uncomfortable with a big dip in the middle. The house was ok for sleeping but we didn't feel clean staying in it..."
1683155,52876844,2015-11-02,6339242,Jean-Francois,"Great house, great location. Everything went as planned!"
738463,8779805,2013-11-18,8128443,Ben,Great house and great location.  Easily accomodated 12.  Near lots of great restaurants and a short walk to many attractions. Highly recommended.
738463,11178476,2014-03-24,11486663,Kreamer,Lila and BF were great hosts. House was great and easily accomodated our entirely bachelor party. Good location off of South Congress and was super easy to get cabs to and from 6th street. 
738463,12582115,2014-05-05,12742652,Daniel,"Lila was a wonderful host for our group of 10. She was extremely responsive and went out of her way to accommodate any special requests.

The property was amazing, with that great wow factor when you walk in, and really had the perfect layout for larger groups with the large vaulted living area adjoining to the peaceful outdoor sitting area in the center of the property. The location is also great for experiencing a lot of different things Austin has to offer, being very close to S Congress and less than a 10 minute drive/cab to so much else (downtown, Barton Springs, etc.) It also stays the perfect cool temperature on hot days."
738463,14708247,2014-06-24,471649,Line,"The house is amazing, the location superior and the hosts are most helpful and lovely! a 10+"
738463,18846540,2014-09-01,2535400,Cj,Lila's house is incredible. We had an amazing stay on one of the most beautiful streets in Austin. Lila was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend staying at her house!
738463,20832658,2014-10-06,16538169,Charlie,"Had a great stay here for ACL with our friends.  The house is awesome, more than enough space for the 9 of us, nice outdoor room and back porch.  Lila and BF were really accommodating, they even dropped us off at the airport on the way back."
738463,21199377,2014-10-13,17969889,Joyce,"Everything at our stay was great. They were welcoming and the place is as pictured with more than enough room. They both were very accommodating to us and our guest. At one point we were expecting a couple more guests and they offered to help arrange additional beds, which was very much appreciated. The house is an older house and they had mentioned when we arrived that the house could lose power, and we did within 30 minutes. We were able to get the power going again quickly by instructions from the owner and they came out and made sure we didn't have that problem again. We enjoyed our stay, thank you guys a bunch!"
738463,22591033,2014-11-10,22007484,Ben,"Really great space in the heart of Austin!  It's in the trees with a creek running behind it, but close to the freeway, close to South Congress, Rainey Street and 6th Street.  Lila and BF were very accommodating on both check in and check out.  They made sure that we had enough beds for everyone and knew everything about the house.  Thanks for a great stay!  I would definitely rent again."
738463,23908983,2014-12-14,11743227,Sherri,We had a great time staying in this house! It was so welcoming and looked even better in person . The location is fantastic ! Thank you again for such a lovely stay.
738463,26383976,2015-02-10,11627985,Brandon,The reservation was canceled 44 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
738463,28157290,2015-03-19,650009,Justin,"Lila and her son BF were such fantastic hosts.  The house is really fantastic with ample room for everyone, great for large groups.  There's so many different areas of the house that provide different feels.  I love the back patio where you can listen to the creek. "
738463,29815627,2015-04-13,2928597,Kathy,"The listing description was accurate, and the house is extremely spacious and beautiful.  The large and fully equipped kitchen was my favorite aspect of the home.  Lila and her husband were both very responsive and easy to communicate with via text and phone.  The neighborhood is cute and quiet, and walking distance to South Congress, and an easy drive/taxi to other areas of the city.  Taxis and Ubers were easy to get.  There is more than enough space for the 12 person max, and Lila was so gracious when we had a last minute add on.  There was plenty of space (with the couches) to accommodate.  We were reminded to be mindful of the noise bc of the neighbors, so this property is best for groups that aren't too raucous.  "
738463,30279540,2015-04-20,2595715,Sandra,"My girlfriends and I visited Austin for the weekend and had a fabulous stay at this home.  The hosts were super accommodating; we arrived a little earlier than anticipated and they welcomed us in without any issue.  It was a quick trip from the airport and the neighborhood was just lovely.  A few us enjoyed going for morning runs along the nearby path toward the water.  We spent one day walking just a couple of blocks to nearby South Congress and enjoyed many of the shops and outdoor cafe/bars.  It was also a very quick cab ride to downtown.  It was really nice to have restaurant and nightlife so close and still have this beautiful retreat to hang out in.  Our favorite room was the screened-in porch!  Also, all of the beds were super comfortable - everyone commented on how well they slept.  A truly wonderful stay in Austin!"
738463,31298777,2015-05-04,1362366,Evan,"Stayed here for a weekend as a group of 6, and couldn't have been happier and more impressed with the place. We were met on arrival and showed around -- the open living spaces are incredible, as is the screened porch and decks in the back and front. Bed spaces for everyone (with beds to spare, in fact). Everything was exactly as advertised. The location in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood off of South Congress is ideal -- you can walk to a nice collection of bars and restaurants, down to the river, and into downtown, and other spots are an easy cab ride. "
738463,31887117,2015-05-11,19240780,Paula,"This house really made our experience in Austin.  A group of 10 of my girlfriends went down to Austin and the house was very comfortable, very clean, and very conveniently located. The only small issue we had was construction next door but as soon as I contacted the host about the noise, the problem was solved, no questions asked. Lila was really accommodating and made it as easy as possible to pick up the keys and check out. Overall such a great experience and highly recommended!"
738463,32127364,2015-05-14,4961387,Emily,"Incredible space for our stay in ATX - enough room to host meeting + for us to host dinner party. Lila made the quick stay easy for all of us. I would highly recommend for large groups - very accommodating. Travis Heights is one of the best neighborhoods in austin - LOVED IT.
 "
738463,35091861,2015-06-15,6170264,Kevin,"This house was amazing.  For a large group of 12, there was plenty of room, the house was super clean and unique, and the hosts were very nice and accommodating.  Would definitely recommend staying here."
738463,35574356,2015-06-20,28105738,Hayley,"Our host kept in touch via text, greeted us when we arrived and explained everything we needed to know to be comfortable. The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean, as spacious as described, comfortably cool even on a hot and humid day and contained everything we needed from coffee to towels. We had a large group, which meant juggling where everyone slept, but with so many options it was easy to make everyone happy and comfortable. The space was used the next day for our company retreat and there was plenty of room in the living area for our entire group to spread out into small group sessions. The space worked so well for us. The area is packed with interesting walks and great little restaurants and coffee shops. This home would be great for a company retreat or a large group of friends or family. Perfect!"
738463,36513238,2015-06-29,28582083,James,"Host was most welcoming.  Even let us drop off some things a night early so we could have extra space when picking people up from airport.  Really nice of them.  House has great location and great space.  

"
738463,39907162,2015-07-27,27442036,Rick,"The house was great and Lila and BF were totally cool.  Only great things to say about my experience, I recommend to everyone!"
738463,50433588,2015-10-12,4357617,Alanna,"The house is great!  Very clean, fantastic kitchen and plenty of comfortable beds for a big group. The location is fantastic as well - a lovely walk to shopping in South Congress. Lila was responsive and made the check-in/out process easy.  "
738463,51267108,2015-10-19,7040203,Trula,"The 2 Lovely Soco Houses could not have been more perfect. Lila and BF made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived in Austin. The accommodations were even better than described with plenty of space for all ten of us to hang out and catch up. The kitchen was fantastic too!! We all loved the location near South Congress. We were able to walk to some great bars, restaurants, and shops including The Continental Club, Hotel San Jose, Perla's, South Congress Cafe, Allen's Boots - just to name a few. Several of us commented that it's the type of place where we would love to return and stay each year."
738463,52037754,2015-10-26,29632154,Casey,"Besides the fact that it rained the whole weekend so we couldn't really enjoy the outsides patios, this house was perfect. Beautifully decorated, enough sleeping space  for everyone in our group. Very clean. Lila and her husband were very nice and accommodating. Everything you could need was stocked in the house. I would definitely recommend this property to someone! "
1725642,11069387,2014-03-18,2387331,Regina,Our staying with Jean was great! It was only one night but it was clean and she gave us all the instructions to get here place. We would stay in her place again definitely!
1725642,11165552,2014-03-23,6138210,Nancy,I arrived later than expected because I was delayed due to a traffic accident that was being removed from the interstate. She remained awake to greet me at the door. She offered refreshment however due to my late arrival I went straight to rest
1725642,13177911,2014-05-21,1702295,Suzanne & Ali,"I enjoyed my time at Jean's place. Jean and her roommates are kind and easy to communicate with. The neighbourhood is beautiful and convenient (near two bus lines and bike lanes, not far from markets) and the room is wonderful--with two big, bright windows, a decently sized closet, a full-sized bed and a desk + chair. The bathroom is shared with two upstairs roommates, but I never had to wait to use it. The only downside is that there isn't much of a common area inside (no dining table, not much living room seating). Nevertheless, the house has a big, grassy yard and an excellent kitchen!"
1725642,13837465,2014-06-05,16044752,Adam,"Jean was a great host! We did not see her too much during our 2 day stay, but she went out of her way to make sure we had light when the power went out. The room was comfortable and clean. I would definitely recommend staying here."
1725642,14113400,2014-06-12,12163458,Travis,"My girlfriend and I spent a whole week here while visiting Austin. 

Right off the bat, communication and access to the house was easily handled and taken care of upon our arrival. Our room (a very bright corner room on the second floor) was neat and organized for us. The bed was well fitted with fresh sheets, blankets and pillows, a desk to work on with a computer chair. The upstairs had it's own bathroom for us to use as well, which was fully stocked, clean and tidy.

Right on the corner of Airport Blvd., this location is very close to a 24 WhatABurger, and just as close to a nice local grocery store. 10-15 min walk, or 5 min drive in each direction. Also, right near MLK Train station, #6, #33, #338 bus which all go through downtown and run reliably and frequently. 

The best part of this stay was how quiet and relaxing it was. We had a pretty busy and active week, getting home later in the night after exhausting activities. To come back to a nice quiet place was extremely refreshing. 

Emily and I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended for couples on a budget who want a solid place to stay, single stays and for people who want to come back to a quiet AC room. "
1725642,14331976,2014-06-16,16449314,Vanessa,Convenient neighborhood and was so pleased to use a bike. 
1725642,14383442,2014-06-18,16829070,Catherine,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1725642,14755832,2014-06-25,14608666,Julio,"Jean's place was very accommodating. Even though we never actually met, she was very helpful. Her place was in a great location, just a short drive to east 6th and South Congress. And the room was COOL, that's important during a hot Austin summer. "
1725642,14895918,2014-06-28,3830792,Eric,Cool house and Jean was a great host! Highly recommended! Thanks again!
1725642,14943130,2014-06-29,14062549,Ana,"Jean is very responsive and gives you all the information you need. The place is close to a lot of key place- UTAustin (which was important for me) but also to downtown if you go to Austin to play , not work.:)
Very clean, everything was fine. Would stay again! "
1725642,15120046,2014-07-02,10748600,Adam,Jean was a gracious host! The room was clean and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.
1725642,15277939,2014-07-06,16219544,Maria,Jean was a great host. I had an amazing stay in Austin. The house is beautiful and the room was big and comfortable. I hope I can come back sometime!
1725642,16930921,2014-08-04,7499996,Jessica,"Jean was an excellent host!  She gave detailed information prior to the visit on how to get inside the house, the room, and onto wifi.  She was very welcoming with her home.  Jean was wonderful at communicating before, during, and after the stay, and even gave me some tips when I shared with her where I was planning on visiting while in Austin.  Her place was in a great location close to downtown and close to a bus station, which for me was helpful since I didn't have a car.  The room and bed were clean and comfortable.  I enjoyed my stay in Austin. "
1725642,17168096,2014-08-08,15121641,Sina,"Jean is a nice person and interesting to talk to. I spent my first evening with her and her friends and had a lot of fun. Would have liked to talk to her more but I only stayed for four nights.

My room was kind of dark but that wasn't a problem for me. The air conditioning works all day and the cooling fan does the rest. 

Just would have wished that Jean would have greeted me the time I arrived. Bathroom was shared with two others but wasn't dirty. 

I would stay at her place again because it's a good place to stay and easy to get around Austin."
1725642,17404917,2014-08-11,12814901,Bradly,"Jean gave me some good directions on how to get into the place and I let myself in. I never saw or met Jean but I had a pleasant stay while I was there. The place was air conditioned throughout and was relatively quiet. You could hear sirens and some cars going by because the place is right next to a major road but I don't think it'll be an issue for most people.

Overall, a good stay. I would recommend it."
1725642,17545508,2014-08-13,19178575,Kayla,"Jean's place was exactly what we needed-- a room with a bed, access to a shower and clean towels, and a place close to downtown. While Jean and I did have a slight misunderstanding after I didn't receive some check-in instructions (darn technology!), everything ended up working out very well. I never actually met Jean, but when I did receive her instructions, they were very clear and straight to the point. Just make sure you follow her instructions well, for it IS her house and she's very gracious for opening it up to us travelers! I would recommend this place. "
1725642,17637878,2014-08-15,801055,Allison,The house is located in a very convenient location to anything in downtown or around 6th St. The room was very clean and spotless as well as the bathroom. Jean was very easy to communicate with and getting into the house wasn't a hassle. There was a spot in the driveway to park as well as the street so I never had to worry about where to put my car. 
1725642,17868100,2014-08-18,3031154,Julie,"I stayed the weekend and loved the location! The room is upstairs and has access to shared bathroom. There are two other residents who also live upstairs, but they were quiet and I never ran into them. The room was clean and had plenty of space. Bathroom had all needed items. It was easy to come and go, with plenty of parking. The location and price definitely make this a spot I'd stay at again!"
1725642,20002335,2014-09-22,13771761,Sebastian,"My top priority in appartment search is that i feel comfortable. and saying this, my trip to austin couldn't have been any better!!
Jean is the best host you can find, she takes care of all your worries and provides a great living environment.

The bike or bus connection to the city center is very good for US cities and the furniture and rooms are perfectly fine.

So a piece of advice: choose Jean!!"
1725642,20680927,2014-10-03,528205,Cristina,"Actually I booked the room for a dear high school friend of mine in an emergency move out situation. It worked out very well for my friend Julia, and I hope it did not cause any problems to Jean."
1725642,21217525,2014-10-13,940752,John,I had a great stay with Jean over the ACL weekend and loved Austin in general. I used uber to get around and this was really helpful as someone who doesn't drive. 
1725642,24261646,2014-12-24,18010417,Ajala,"I stayed during 53 days in Jean's house and I can consider the house perfect for me. Close to market and pharmacy, airport for the multiple times I needed to go. It's also easy to take a bus to Downtown, no more than 25 min. 
Jean was readily accessible and patient with my English, her always helped me when I needed for to understand her language. She gave me many tips about Austin and took me to Houston to enjoy a Music Festival with more one friend her.
About her support at home, I remember that We all faced a problem because we were without Internet but she replaced the router very quickly. 
About the bedroom, the bed were very comfy and the bedroom is especially nice with its size."
1725642,25000226,2015-01-04,19173784,Rowan,"My friend and I had a lovely time staying with Jean in her home. She made us feel really welcome and gave us advice on things to do around the city and showed us around the neighbourhood. Although the location of the flat was not in city centre it was located very close to a number of bus routes as well as a bus directly to the airport. Jean kept the house clean and tidy as well as providing extra bedding, towels and a fully equipped kitchen. There is no where better to stay in Austin!"
1725642,29809873,2015-04-13,532900,Kiron,"I stayed at Jean's place for 3 months, and absolutely loved it. The place is clean, relaxed, and comfortable, and Jean is super friendly and has great local knowledge. The location is great, near some amazing good (La Fruta Feliz and Country Boyz!) and right by Skylark Lounge, a neat bar. There are a couple of buses nearby that take you to downtown and UT pretty quickly--but the bike lanes (which are really good) were what worked best for me. If you're thinking about staying here--especially for a slightly longer stay--just do it!"
1725642,29960716,2015-04-14,30887803,Mohammed,I had an awesome stay with Jean. I would definitely recommend this listing if one is looking for a quiet and convenient area minutes away from UT.
1725642,30223987,2015-04-19,29862842,Taylor,"Jean was super friendly and highly communicative leading up to the stay. She provided very clear directions regarding location and check-in, as well as being very flexible about check in/check out time.

I didn't explore the nearby neighborhood that much as I was very busy during the weekend I stayed, but it was a quick/cheap Lyft ride ~$8-10 to downtown/UT-Austin campus.

The space itself was perfect for what I needed. It was a very comfortable place to crash and I felt secure leaving my belongings there while I was out (all of the individual rooms had locking doors). 

Though we didn't interact extensively during my stay, Jean was very friendly and provided everything I needed. I would definitely come back and stay here again!"
1725642,43603332,2015-08-21,28651990,Pablo,"Jean’s place is great. It’s very well located, close to a couple of important bus routes. The house is very cozy and the rooms are also spacious. Jean makes an excellent roommate: she’s always willing to help you out, and always trying to make your stay as confortable as possible. I stayed there for three months and I really loved it. "
8898924,52953276,2015-11-02,46669795,Kasia,Matt was very kind and welcoming. It was my first airbnb experience and it turned out to be great! The home was peaceful and clean and the guest bed was so comfortable. It was a lucky find! 
8898924,53101882,2015-11-04,47781110,Cody,Matt was a great host very flexible with my lifestyle and a positive kind of person to talk to i would definatly book here again for price and location  the bed was comfortable and i felt welcomed my whole stay this was my first airbnb experience and im sold
8898924,53142564,2015-11-05,47226242,Clint,"Matt is really nice. Even though we were only here for a night, it was great being able to meet him. The entire decor of the house is quite adorable, and his cats are so friendly! Would definitely recommend."
1324235,8084363,2013-10-15,4265012,Mat,"Kelly & Tyler were absolutely fantastic hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure the house was in pristine condition prior to our arrival, and stayed in touch throughout our stay in case we needed anything. Their house is stunning, spacious, and extremely comfortable. So long as it's available in the future, I've got no reason to stay anywhere else in Austin :)"
1324235,10040427,2014-01-27,7938227,Dan,"Kelly and Tyler were extremely gracious and generous hosts. Their home was impeccably well-kept, yet still felt very homey. The beds were all comfortable and the hot tub was a hit! With 2 large living areas and an amazing kitchen, we spread our time throughout the house! They made the whole process seamless and I couldn't be more grateful. What a view to wake up to every morning! This property is more isolated and private than you'd think considering it is located in a neighborhood culdesac. The backyard especially had a peaceful and quiet feell. Kelly and Tyler were wonderful to work with from initial contact through leaving of the keys. "
1324235,10952914,2014-03-15,5560745,Jeroen,"They say Austin is awesome, and it certainly is enjoying the ‘retreat in the hills’ of Kelly and Tyler. What a great house! Beautifully located outside the dynamics of downtown Austin, it is a place to relax and enjoy. The house is large, neat, atmospheric and equipped with all luxury you could possibly want. We even had a racoon coming over for diner! Only flaw would be the suspected (former) presence of a cat in the house, which caused a slightly allergic reaction from one of our visitors. And we spend a little time to get the air-heating system tuned to our preferences. Nonetheless this is a place we would recommend to anyone planning a stay in Austin. Thanks!"
1324235,17460095,2014-08-12,18093279,Jonathan,"We had a fantastic time in Austin!  Thanks to Kelly and her family, it was more comfortable and enjoyable than any hotel.  The home and neighborhood is beautiful!  Thank you Kelly!"
1324235,18336889,2014-08-25,17941638,Kate,"What a great home! We absolutely loved our stay at the Retreat in the hills of Austin. Kelly made us feel right at home and was very helpful and responsive from start to finish. The layout of the house was perfect for our large group (10 people), and the kitchen was amazing. The house was just a short drive from anything that you would need. We would definitely suggest staying here if you are looking to accommodate and entertain a large group! "
1324235,19945482,2014-09-21,4730507,Mary,"Beautiful home nestled in trees  backing up to a nature preserve. Once you enter the large, open living area  you feel as if  this house is the only one around.   It is one of the most peaceful environments I've ever experienced.  Beautiful hardwood floors and a chef's kitchen await. The floor plan affords great privacy and separation as bedrooms are on 3 levels.   Kelly was very prompt and easy to deal with. She and her husband were friendly and informative upon my arrival.   I would definitely stay here again. "
1324235,23366193,2014-11-30,15015574,Kathy,We had a wonderful stay at Kelly's beautiful home.  Her home was beautifully decorated and her kitchen had every amenity to prepare a perfect Thanksgiving dinner.
1324235,24466515,2014-12-29,22413841,John,"Kelly was very thoughtful, she made us feel welcome. We appreciated the xmas decorations very much.Our grandchildren really enjoyed spending time and staying overnight with us.
the xmas lights outside were very nice. We had to be careful getting in and out of the driveway because of the nature of the lot,but kelly had already told about that, so it was not a big deal. It seemed as though kelly had made all the appropriate preparations for our stay. In summary our hosts were very gracious and we have absolutely nothing to complain about. I would certainly stay there again if the need arouse."
1324235,27270387,2015-03-01,26811392,Margaret,"Host made us feel very welcome and was helpful from the very beginning. House was nice. Very clean, beautiful outdoor views of the Austin hills with lots of greenery. Great layout for groups with bedrooms on each floor. We unfortunately didn't get to use the hot tub because it was rainy and cold all weekend, but it was on a nice deck with a great view.  Fantastic kitchen with all of the kitchen appliances, and plates/glassss we needed. Overall nice experience and would recommend Kelly and her home. "
1324235,27939317,2015-03-15,27620887,Sireesha,"Kelly and her home were great! She was there to walk me through her home when I checked in and had a wonderful manual to refer to if we had any questions during our stay. She made herself available to us if we had any questions and really made us feel comfortable, making her expectations of us as guests very clear. 
Her home is lovely--the perfect retreat--and was spacious, open, comfortable, with plenty of natural light, beautiful scenery, and space for our group. Her kitchen is amazing and so are all the windows! I had a wonderful stay and can't recommend it enough."
1324235,30680936,2015-04-26,2799456,Rachel,We had a wonderful time at Kelly's house for the weekend with our group of 8. We had planned to go out more but just ended up staying in because it was so nice! The backyard is a beautiful green oasis with a hot tub and there are huge windows everywhere. There were plenty of beds and towels and a fully stocked kitchen. We went downtown one night and it was about 15-20 minutes away. The house is in a nice green neighborhood and there is enough room to park quite a few cars in the cul de sac or elsewhere in the neighborhood. Overall it was the perfect place for our group's needs.

926182,11992328,2014-04-21,3921058,Siobhan,"We highly recommend this beautiful home. It has plenty of space, a spectacular view, and all the required amenities you could think of, including a hot tub to soak in. We also found it well situated to 360 and the hill country area. John communicated promptly and made the process easy. We had a fantastic visit - hope we can make it back someday!"
926182,15345363,2014-07-07,9138196,Michael,We really enjoyed staying at John's house over the 4th of July weekend.  The view is great and the pool/hot tub were perfect for us.  The kitchen was excellent and we were able to cook and eat together as a group of 8.

5091742,28270454,2015-03-21,26848929,Heidi,"I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this Gorgeous home! Set in a peaceful subdivision just minutes from I 35 and just 15 minutes from downtown.
This home was the perfect choice for my stay during SXSW.

The Host was incredibly friendly and positive. And every night felt like coming home.
A+ experience that I would highly recommend to anyone else coming into Austin!"
5091742,28454642,2015-03-23,23162368,Serenity,"Everything about my stay with her was more than amazing. I didn't have any idea where I was going to stay in Austin and at the last minute I found her home. It was beautiful and it was more than enough room for my sister, boyfriend and friend from Chicago. 

Home was immaculate and she gave us access to literally everything listed plus more. 

Her ferret is adorable by the way. I think I want to buy one now! 

The only place I will book in Austin is here. "
5091742,29805102,2015-04-12,15391334,Erin,"Chelsea was very accommodating to my last minute request for a reservation.  She responded promptly and answered all my questions.  The place is lovely, the bed is comfy and everything was nice and clean.  I am truly grateful I found Chelsea's place on airbnb and that I was able to stay there (especially given that I booked with less than 24 hour notice).  I highly recommend booking here... the price is right!"
5091742,30889869,2015-04-28,30728238,Bryan,"I had a wonderful time staying at Chelsea's place in Austin. It was an easy drive from downtown, and had everything we needed and more. Chelsea was also extremely helpful prior to arriving, answering a few of my questions, and making sure our trip would run smoothly! I would definitely recommend staying here when you're in Austin. "
5091742,32021058,2015-05-12,32667917,Jeff,"Chelsea was a charming host, and place was neat, tidy, and exactly as described.  She made accommodations for our late arrival, was quiet while we were sleeping, and while I worked.  South Austin location was safe and most convenient!  I'd recommend, and I'd go back if the occasion arises.  Thanks, Chelsea!"
5091742,34265476,2015-06-06,34370461,Daniel,Chelsea was a great host and very accommodating. I was able to book a last minute trip to Austin. The location was great and very close to downtown. I will definitely book with her again!
5091742,37408583,2015-07-06,26133915,Kenny,"Chelsea is incredibly kind and generous. Very spacious place that is within 15 min driving distance which was nice for a weekend trip for my friend, my wife, and I because it was close yet far enough away from craziness of the city. She generously provided two bedrooms which were connected by a bathroom. Very clean and neat place and we felt very comfortable."
5091742,38226709,2015-07-13,4852426,Bob,"Chelsea is a warm, considerate & a downright nice person! She is easy to communicate with & very flexible. Her place was very well kept & comfortable. A very good value for up to 3 people with no extra charges. She made us feel right a home. THANKS CHELSEA"
5091742,41049201,2015-08-03,33353469,Linda,"Chelsea was very nice! Her place is nice and comfy. I was able to book last minute, the drive from downtown was fairly close. Will be booking again in the future :)"
5091742,41906018,2015-08-09,36074642,Aimee,"Unfortunately, our original host was unable to host us anymore, so I contacted Chelsea less than 24 hours before our arrival date in Austin. She was flexible, super sweet, and I had no problem booking a night at her house. Chelsea is very easy to communicate with and provided us with anything that we needed. Her home was EXTREMELY clean and neat! I would definitely recommend her! "
5091742,51419664,2015-10-19,36547854,Michael,I booked a stay with Chelsea last minute (several hours before arrival) and she was very accommodating. We had absolutely no problems and she even shared her coffee stash.
5637587,30476464,2015-04-22,31161496,Andrea,"Lindsay is a great host, friendly and gave great recommendations of places around the place. The apartment was really cute and clean and the other guests were great! Met awesome people!"
5637587,30995611,2015-04-30,17888746,Ashley,"Lindsey is such a great host! She's really doing a great thing creating a community space to bring people together when traveling. I felt welcome and thoroughly enjoyed my time at her loft. Thanks, and I'll be back next time I'm in town :) "
5637587,31994500,2015-05-12,32218023,Maxmillion,"Lindsey was very welcoming and helpful when we got into Austin. The loft was right in the middle of downtown and was consistently clean/well stocked. I will definitely be staying there again, next time I'm in Austin."
5637587,32214274,2015-05-15,30378595,Tim,Lindsey was a great host. She really did go above and beyond making sure my stay was comfortable. Really great spot too. Hope to see you again sometime :)
5637587,32837081,2015-05-22,20575420,Tanika,"This place was exactly as pictured. Brightly colored, clean, and laced with inspirational quotes and pics on the walls. The location and price were also unbeatable. You can literally walk or Uber everything downtown. There's cereal and hot beverages in the morning as well as WiFi, and even a stash of toiletries in case you've forgotten anything. Lindsey is even nice enough to recommend the most chill hang outs. I seriously felt like a cast member on The Real World (in the best way possible). I'd def stay again and recommend you stay too. "
5637587,33446408,2015-05-28,22571346,Jose,The Loft was awesome. I had a great time from the very first minute I stepped inside. The loft is a prime location and did not have a problem with anything. I highly recommend you stay at the loft. 
5637587,35794922,2015-06-22,27697652,Jenny,"I just concluded my one month stay and I can't wait to go back!! When I read all the glowing reviews of the SWAP loft I thought there is just no way it is this good...but truly, there is nowhere better to stay in Austin.  Lindsey and Kaela do absolutely everything you could think of to make you feel like you are staying in a 5 star hotel.  The location is in the heart of downtown and everything is walkable.  They have a calendar of things to do, restaurant suggestions etc.  I always bring a set of sheets and towels when I stay at Airbnb (because you just never know) but I truly didn't need them here, the sheets and towels are clean and in great condition.  I really can't say enough about the effort they go to make you feel at home.  Thank you so much for such an incredible experience.  This loft is truly a special and fun space!"
5637587,37513451,2015-07-07,12274201,Penelope,"I had so much fun staying in Austin and a lift of that was largely due to the loft apartment and the great crowd that Lindsey's space attracts. Made some wonderful new friends. 

The space was clean, well maintained by Kaela. All common areas were very practical and I loved the giant wall of suggestions for things to do. Kaela's experience running a hostel was evident as she was a wealth of knowledge on fun things to do and where to go in Austin. 

The only thing I will say is that it's not super private up in the loft, you're elevated but there is no door so getting changed was awkward if people were sitting in the lounge room. I also bumped my head a few times because you can't stand all the way up but that's partly because I'm tall and kinda clumsy. All in all - loved it, would stay again. Thanks Kaela and Lindsey!"
5637587,38846585,2015-07-19,33234119,Jennifer,"This was a great place for anybody wanting to stay in the heart of Austin and have a ready-made option to socialize with as many as five other guests.  Though they were offsite (i.e., not residents at the ""loft""), the hosts visited to take care of regular business and were friendly responsive to questions.  I would stay again."
5637587,40005777,2015-07-27,2325853,Pamela,"Lauren and Kaela accommodated my super late 2am check-in by setting up a key lock box and leaving me a house key for re-entry as necessary. 

I really appreciated all of the extras in the loft in terms of suggested things to do around Austin, communal food, bedding, towels, etc. It made my trip planning and packing a lot easier and definitely showed that there was a lot of thought put into making the loft welcoming.

I didn't really interact with anyone else in the loft or the hosts themselves, but that did not retract from the great experience I had in Austin."
5637587,40396511,2015-07-30,36539376,Cason,"If you want a great stay in Austin, stay here!

Lindsey and Kaela were fantastic hosts.  The loft is in a perfect location, right in the heart of Austin.  The loving, hostel style of the loft lent itself to a wonderful communal experience--I got to meet and talk with several people from around the states and the globe during my stay.  

Everything you need is taken care of, except for parking!  Be prepared to hunt for street parking, or be willing to pony up for the paid lot across the street from the loft.  

Highly recommend!
"
5637587,42124344,2015-08-11,1130916,Christopher,My overall experience was wonderful. I absolutely love this loft and was happy to see how much character it had. I also had a fun time bonding with the other guests. Lindsey & Kaela where the perfect hosts and I will be back for sure.
5637587,45269597,2015-09-01,13243139,Kim,"The has quite a high ceiling so there was a lot of breathing room and space, overall I'm very happy with my stay at Lindsey and Kaela's loft. They drop by frequently and provide a warm welcome, the free breakfast and snacks definitely helped. Also, there is in suite laundry and dryer for those of you looking for an extended stay I would recommend it. Overall, because it is open plan and no ceilings to each room, it does get a little noisy when people move around but with a bit of sensitivity and cautiousness you will be fine. I got to meet a few great people in the loft too!"
5637587,46754685,2015-09-13,17955781,Stephen,"Lindsey was very welcoming and it's amazing what she has created here. A comfortable, homely space in a very convenient location close to Austin's best nightspots. Would recommend!"
5637587,48719471,2015-09-28,41102166,Carrie,"I appreciated the detailed information sent before my visit.  The hosts were in touch to make sure check-in went smoothly, which it did.  The loft was as described, clean and located in the perfect place for access to restaurants and fun places to visit."
5637587,50837330,2015-10-15,960556,Calvin,"I stayed at Lindsey's loft for a week and I'd come back in a heartbeat. The location is really convenient with lots of restaurants and bars around. Cleanliness of the room, kitchen, and bathroom was of a high standard. Lindsey and Kaela are great with communication too. Good value for money especially during the ACL music festival. Thanks again."
5637587,51663304,2015-10-22,2145512,David,Fantastic place. Kaela/Lindsey were very helpful and easy to contact when needed. The loft is a great space with really good facilities. The other guests were friendly and considerate. Just remember it's a loft and everyone is in fairly close quarters. The location is unbeatable.
5637587,52215760,2015-10-27,6175586,Gareth,"I had a great time at the loft, the hosts are really friendly and very responsive to communication, and the location literally couldn't be any better for the centre of Austin.

The listing doesn't make it obvious that the loft is really open plan, and most of the rooms are just partitioned areas rather than separate rooms. It surprised me, but it turned out not to be a problem because everyone seemed pretty considerate - and there are free earplugs provided too.

If I make it back to Austin then the loft will be at the top of my list of places to stay!"

1830545,12604141,2014-05-06,1737070,Sara And David,"My stay at Amanda's apartment was fabulous! There is so much to do in the area, as well as downtown Austin. While traffic can sometimes be a bear, it is only 18 minutes away from S Congress Street when no traffic is present. The bedrooms were great, wifi easy to access and consistent, quiet neighborhood, and very well equipped kitchen. I would definitely rent from Amanda again!!!"
1830545,27955396,2015-03-15,18991194,Elizabeth,"Clean and brightly decorated. Thank  you for coffee beans! Had difficulty locating salt pepper and spices, hidden deep in silverware drawer. No sweeteners, which was surprising and easy to offer. Instructions for access and departing at every clear. Easy to work with hosts. There is no store or restaurants within walking distance, which should be noted in description. Perfect spot if you have a rental car. "
1830545,40845647,2015-08-02,38772508,Stacy,We had a great stay here!! Close to everything and very quite neighborhood. We messaged them when we arrived about air conditioning and they sent someone immediately. Quick responses everytime I sent a message. Beds are comfy and house was very nice!!
1830545,49446289,2015-10-04,34376301,Drew,The house was very well furnished.  Everything worked and we had a great stay.  The neighborhood was fantastic and quiet.  Located close to a lot of shopping & activities.
1830545,50548038,2015-10-12,7937138,Kim,"Review for ""2 bedroom mdern remodel""...
Duplex exactly as described.  It comfortably slept our group of five.  The neighborhood was extremely quiet...great for a good night's rest. 
(If you have children, there is an awesome/unique toy store very close by.)
Greg was very helpful after we departed and we realized something was left behind.  We were able to quickly retrieve it thanks to his help.
Would stay again."

She made sure that we had all the information we needed before we arrived and gave us awesome recommendations for things to do in Austin. Would love to stay here again!"
3731944,28084333,2015-03-17,1132046,Andrea,"Tucker and Lauren are fantastic hosts and their home is beyond beautiful.  Everything is new, designed for ease and comfort, and worthy of a Architecture Digest!  The setup is perfect for relaxing in common areas, including  poolside and roof deck with amazing views.  They even had snacks and bagels, wine, and travel size toiletries in case we forgot anything.  And the location is perfect--walkable to downtown, but out of the 

Don't bother staying in a suite at the W, this home is much much better!  We will definitely be back on future trips to Austin."
3731944,43061440,2015-08-17,17739963,Emily,"Tucker and Lauren were amazing hosts! Before we arrived, they were very helpful with planning and extremely flexible. They stocked their home with some goodies and left me cupcakes and a birthday card because they knew I was there to celebrate my birthday.

The house was beautiful and just as described in the pictures. The location is ideal - it is close to downtown but just far enough to to get away from the hustle and bustle. The pool and rooftop deck were wonderful to have during the hot summer weather. 

Tucker and Lauren were very responsive throughout our stay and made us feel welcome and at home. What an incredible weekend in an incredible home! Thank you!"
4657729,29106172,2015-04-04,4403279,Wendolyn,"We loved staying in the Modern Guest House By UT in Hyde Park!  The apartment affords privacy - it's super cute, clean and bright - and in a perfect location in terms of getting anywhere you need to go in Austin.  We enjoyed our evening walks around the neighborhood and going to the playground.  Pete is a great host - was attentive and helped us get settled right away.  He followed up on our stay afterwards which I appreciated.  We would definitely stay in the guest house again.  Thanks, Pete!"
4657729,30711348,2015-04-26,479684,Carole,"Pete was really easy to communicate with and very responsive.  I had trouble opening an automatic gate when I returned (on foot) from dinner to the apartment in the dark the first evening.  He responded to me within minutes of my text to him for help and sent instructions on how to get in.

The apartment itself was cozy and very quiet.  I stayed with a friend of mine and she took the bedroom and I was really comfortable on the pull-out couch.  I think it would be a tight space for more than 2 people though.  The location was great.  We didn't have a car, which at first seemed a liability in such a residential neighborhood, but there is a great cafe (the Flyover) only 2 blocks away, and a good cluster of restaurants and bars within about a 5 block direction either way.  It was a really cute neighborhood and fun to walk around and look at houses.

The apartment is located above a garage behind a private residence (not belonging to Pete I assume), and I think the only thing that felt a little bit strange was the feeling of walking on to someone's property as we were coming and going.  

Overall though it was a good home base for a stay in Austin!"
4657729,30967765,2015-04-29,5382816,John,"Good location, well maintained. Pete was very responsive. "
4657729,34234898,2015-06-06,16181197,Can,Pete was a great host. Real helpful. The place is exactly how it looks on the pictures. Would stay here again.
4657729,39058380,2015-07-20,36883474,Tracy,This is a very clean and comfortable apartment space - in a great location.  Pete was easy to work with - no issues.  The neighborhood is charming and convenient.   I would definitely stay here again!

Not only did they provide us with a guide to Austin's hidden gems, but they also took the time to put together a list of their favorite places to eat in Austin. The house was very clean and welcoming and I would definitely stay there again.

884712,28072554,2015-03-17,20413649,Andres,"Cool house, cool hosts. about $15 uber to down town.  i would highly recommend it to any business travelers. "
884712,28516906,2015-03-25,19565222,Cornell,"Joshua and Heather were amazing hosts.  We have been to Austin for SXSW for 3 consecutive years and this has by far been our best experience.   Josh was responsive by phone and went above and beyond to show us the best time possible in Austin.  Providing insight to local hangouts, the best routes to avoid traffic and detailed instructions on using his home, Josh and Heather rock!

Looking forward to our next trip to Austin and stay at their home.

884712,52205309,2015-10-27,11427903,Eelco,"We stayed with three couples at Josh & Heather's adorable place in South Austin - it was a wonderful visit, with great hosts.
The house is a peaceful oasis, and the hottub is very relaxing - especially needed after walking and standing all day at the racetrack (we were there for the F1 weekend) - we couldn't have wished for a better place and friendly hosts, thank you!"
3930285,21992930,2014-10-27,22660507,Emi,"Katie was a wonderful host! She met us at the airport when we arrived, and gave us a ride to the apartment. She told us about the best restaurants nearby (The Whip In was DELICIOUS) and gave us coupons for a couple free cab rides.
The apartment was small, but had everything the two of us needed! (Snacks in the fridge, and extra toiletries just in case we forgot something) The kitchen was furnished, and we were able to cook most of our meals at home. 
There was cable too, but we never turned on the television! Too much to do in Austin! (We borrowed bikes from friends, and were in and out all day) 
Bed was big, clean, and cozy - we slept like rocks. I liked that it was a bit dark, since it stayed cool and comfortable without blasting the AC. 
We contacted her regarding the pool being locked, and she responded right away that she would look into it... (As it turns out, we were so busy enjoying Austin we never even checked the pool again)"

3930285,28215287,2015-03-20,1576307,Jeff,"Katie was very upfront, helpful and easy to communicate with. The unit was very walkable to Rainey Street and the Convention Center for SXSW. I found the apartment complex to be welcoming and charming. The apartment itself was in tip top shape with basic amenities, clean and nice space. Bed was comfortable. It was all I was looking for and completely satisfied my needs. "
3930285,28435171,2015-03-23,2945862,Damien,Katie was so clutch. Easy to book with and very responsive. Even when my check in time got pushed back she was kind enough to let me know and leave me a bottle of wine to make up for it. Very close to downtown but not close enough to the cluster during SXSW. Highly recommended. 
3930285,28770576,2015-03-29,23156960,Kursten,"I CANNOT say enough about how wonderful Katie was to work with, after getting last minute cancelled on us by other people in Austin, Katie rushed to get her place ready as we already were a couple hours away! Even after having a crazy week I'm sure of SXSW the week before she made it happen :) and we came to a perfectly spotless apartment in a great quiet area! But yet a perfect spot to get to ANY of the hotspots in Austin! We had a car but took uber occasionally and was never over a 10$ ride anywhere we went! The apartment is very spacious and after walking around all day in the sun, the A/C at the apt works so well and was great to come back to! Katie was also immediately available when I asked for dinner suggestions etc. Literally could of not made it a better experience, definitely will be back and you won't go wrong booking with Katie! Happy Adventures :) xx "

3930285,33036717,2015-05-24,9710981,Travis,Very warm and open home.  Great location and Katie made us feel welcome from the time we booked the reservation. She confirms arrivals and made sure we had everything we needed before we left. 
3930285,46064893,2015-09-07,14865731,Erika,It was pretty convenient being within minutes of downtown.  Katie made sure we could check-in & out when we needed and even provided a few small necessities just like a hotel would. I really enjoyed the comfortable bed! The neighbors could be a little less loud though...but obviously there's no control over that.  All in all it was a decent experience.

The apartment is nice and in a quite area. Getting around is very easy. Walked to S Congress and used Uber into the city and to the airport.

I had a great stay. I would stay at this apartment again. Thank you Katie!"

The apartment was a short drive from the great neighborhood of South Congress and was close to all the places we wanted to visit in Austin.  The apartment itself was very clean and spacious.  We had a great time in Austin!"
3930285,49476544,2015-10-04,42719771,Daniel,I loved the location and the surrounding area. Good bites and interesting finds are around the corner. I had everything I needed. Beds were extremely comfortable and the apt smelled wonderful. I would definitely prefer staying here than a generic hotel. I stayed for ACL weekend and I was delighted to return to the apt every evening. It was a great place to relax. 
3930285,50287412,2015-10-11,40071750,Amanda,"We had a wonderful time at Katie's place.  Perfect sized apartment for my boyfriend and I, very clean and beautifully decorated.  Katie made sure we had everything we needed and even threw in a few extra bathroom items we might have forgotten to bring.  The location was perfect; close to everything we wanted to see but still set away so we had quiet and privacy.  Would definitely recommend staying here."
3930285,51230278,2015-10-18,46367276,Jessica,Nice apartment. Pretty big for a one bedroom. Convenient check in and check out. 
4756372,30198808,2015-04-19,10162901,Zafar,"Lyon went above and beyond to greet our party and make us all feel welcome.  He provided snacks and tons of information on things to do and places to visit during our stay in Austin and we felt he went well beyond the call of duty to help us navigate the area.  

The property is fantastic.  Large, bright, clean and wonderfully located to walk to ANY number of great restaurants, bars and outdoors spots including the Colorado river which a short 3/4 mile walk and must see.  We were so pleasantly surprised at how accessible on foot everything was including 6th Street and the famous Rainey St. patio bars even though this is considered ""East Austin"".  My group was really happy we stayed here rather than some of the places we looked at--truly a memorable weekend!"
4756372,30767415,2015-04-27,27861084,Megan,"Our family (total of 8 people) stayed at Lyon's (main house + bungalow), and we all LOVED it.  The house was so cute and so well appointed, and it was in the perfect location.  Lyon was a great host--he is incredibly knowledgeable about the best restaurants, bars, and activities within walking distance of the house, and he keeps a ""house manual"" with all the details.  We would definitely stay here again!"
4756372,46718138,2015-09-13,17897317,Kevin,Lyon was a great host. He was a phone call or text away when needed. Lyons place was top notch - it was like staying at a luxury resort. From the steam showers to the great backyard to the bar area this house and guesthouse were a great fit for our bachelor party of 10. Everything was a short über ride away but still with great restaurants and bars a walking distance away. If we ever come back to Austin we would definitely stay here again. Lyon even went above and beyond our expectations even after we had checked out. Thank you for everything!
4756372,49584241,2015-10-05,10640764,Valerie,What a wonderful host and home! This is my personal second time using Airbnb and some of my friends 3rd and 4th time and hands down this was the best experience. Lyon greeted us at the door and was our personal Yelp guide giving us great places to visit and eat.  He was always available when we needed him. Even late at night when my friend accidently locked us in the sun room which isn't a bad place to be locked out. The house is so welcoming and spacious. We did not feel crowded at all and it was 9 of us. Definitely a must stay if visiting the Austin area. Thank you so much Lyon!!!
4756372,50424529,2015-10-12,23662003,Michael,100% Great property/host. We loved every minute staying here. Lyon made it very easy for us to check in/out and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay. The house was very cozy and easily accomadated our large group comfortably. Thanks for the book of recommendations! Highly recomended.
6409942,32441196,2015-05-17,11450908,Pete,"Sam was a great host and very communicative. The bed is super comfortable and the room is quiet, spacious, and private. Though the room is not highly decorated, it served my needs quite well and was an incredible value. Highly recommend."
6409942,34574711,2015-06-09,30238273,Sarah,"Samuel contacted us regarding our check-in time, and let us know that although he would be at work, he would leave a key for us. He also gave us the wireless key, so that we could use the internet, as well as the key for the pool and the fitness center.

 Samuel moved to Austin pretty recently, so he hasn't fully furnished his place yet, but he had a handy walk-in closet we used to hang our clothes and towels and stuff. The bedroom looked slightly different from the picture; however, the room was clean, and the big bed was extremely comfortable!

Samuel's apartment complex is really pleasant -- full of shady trees and fun little pathways. The area felt extremely safe, and the neighbors were very friendly.  

We took the #5 bus downtown, which was very easy and convenient. The bus costs only $1.25 per ride, and only $2.50 for an all-day pass, so it is incredibly cheap. It comes every 40 minutes or so, so it is important to check the schedule before heading out to the bus stop. We used uber and lyft to get to areas of Austin other than downtown. "
6409942,35626444,2015-06-20,33604966,Andrew,"Sam was a great host. My girlfriend and I felt very welcomed in his apartment. Sam made sure we had everything we needed. The room was nice and clean, and the bed we had was very comfortable. Sam's dog is awesome. He was extremely friendly and well behaved. I would highly recommend this listing. There were some cool bars and restaurants close by and a cab to downtown was pretty cheap. We couldn't have asked for a better host. "
6409942,37015729,2015-07-03,837434,Brody,The guys were good hosts I would stay there again. They have a pool which is great!
6409942,37915001,2015-07-11,23345098,Jorge,Samuel is a great host. The room is clean and the bed is comfortable. Great value. I'd stay at this place again.
6409942,39851718,2015-07-26,1686441,Madhu,The picture listed on the site is not the same in person. I think it was from the previous listing from New York. I requested a refund after seeing the room. 
6409942,40069977,2015-07-28,25140757,Candace,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6409942,40530520,2015-07-31,1437241,Matt,"Sam was very welcoming and accommodating! 

Sam was able to let me check in early, since I had to check out of my hotel at 1. So he let me check in at 3. 

Sam helped me carry all my things in to the apartment. He also let me use their laundry facility. 

The apartment was in a quiet community. Very convenient to all the amenities of South Austin. "
6409942,41544331,2015-08-07,7039376,Claude,"The location of Samuel's space is beautifully set within a verdant and lush environment that is surprisingly peaceful, calm and relaxing.
The apartment itself is clearly in its initial stages of being inhabited – Samuel and his partner having only just – two months previously – come down from New York.
The facility offered is basic – a goodly-sized bedroom with a comfortable bed and a shared bathroom/toilet.  The lounge and kitchenette are habitably bare and functional.
If you like dogs, then ""Woody"" is a wonderful character and young Doggie Soul that is intelligent, loving, communicative, amusing and in an active ""chewing stage"". I was so happy to share some time with him and take him out for walks.
The downside is that ""Dogs are Dogs"" – and keeping a space both clean and tidy with an animal in residence, is patently a problem.
Samuel was a kind and receptive host who did everything in his possibilities to make my stay agreeable – and the external environment, along with the small, close-by swimming pool, helped no end.
Not absolutely easy to find, my suggestion would be that a car would be more than useful for getting around.
At the price paid, the space was both adequate and within price / quality expectations.
Merci Samuel (& Woody!)"
6409942,41898807,2015-08-09,33962155,Akeem,"Sam was a great host.  He was very welcoming and gave suggestions of where to eat in the area.  His dog Woody was friendly but a little rambunctious since he is still young.  His apartment is in a quiet area in the back of the complex.  It's not visible from the parking lot, so it was a little difficult to find at first.  The swimming pool is right next to his building which is nice for these hot months in Texas.  Sam did everything he could to make sure that my stay was comfortable.  The place had everything that I needed for my stay in Austin."
6409942,44667550,2015-08-28,39194926,Viola,"I had an absolutely great trip thanks to Samuel. The apartment itself is a little bare due to having just moved, but it had all the essentials and I was not left wanting for anything. It was a very comfortable stay, and the hosts were lovely. They were around if I had any questions or needed anything, and they gave me lots of suggestions for things to do around town as it was my first time visiting. That was really helpful for me. I rented a car while there, so I didn't really use any public transportation and can't speak to that. There was plenty of parking - only late at night did it get tricky but even then I was able to find a spot. The complex itself is beautiful and eccentric and woodsy, and has a warm swimming pool and fitness center, which I used and appreciated. Overall a great experience!"
6409942,46081001,2015-09-07,14435995,Rachel,"Samuel was great, very accomodating as our arrival time was very flexible. The room, while not decorated as the ad says, has everything you need. The bed was very comfortable. Will and I throughly enjoyed our stay and the area of town is really amazing! "

6409942,50742527,2015-10-14,26086733,Kelvin,"My wife and I love staying with the boys, there place is conveniently located, you can catch a bus out the front for down town, we felt the place was ours, as we only seen Samuel and Joel on a couple occasion, Joel was only a text message a way if need to know anything, that made our time in Austin TX,  even better. This was our time using AIRBNB, thanks boy's for the hospitality you show us the week we where there, very impressed indeed.

Kel and Chris"
6409942,51245453,2015-10-18,44295408,Raul And Zac,"This was a quiet, comfortable bedroom in a very woody apartment complex. A good place to stay nearby downtown for a night or two."
6409942,52766272,2015-11-01,61524,Andrew,Relaxed and welcoming place about 10 minutes south of Austin downtown. Comfortable room. Good value. 
2470492,32056040,2015-05-13,27839458,Kevin,"My host was the absolute best.  He reduced the number of times his dog licked me.  He provided Gatorade after runs and did not make me suffer too much during a workout.  He did not complain when having to use a faulty controller on an old arcade game.  Most importantly, he looks great in women's earrings."
1402938,8364782,2013-10-28,7557101,Sean,"The place was just as it appears online, beautiful!  Stocked with everything you could possibly need, we really enjoyed our time here, and would definitely rent from TurnKey again!"
1402938,8655123,2013-11-11,8874275,David,Loved the place. Just as it looked online and super central to everything in Downtown Austin.

The management company is very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and/or stay here next time I visit Austin."
1402938,9741106,2014-01-07,10374747,Jeffrey,"Exactly as advertised, we did not want for nothing. Great location.  We emailed a couple of questions regarding logistics and received answers promptly.  I would stay here again.  "
1402938,10104033,2014-01-31,2104830,Peter,The apartment is in a great location for downtown activities. It worked well for the 3 of us. The weather was not nice enough for us to try out the pool and hot tub. Would stay here again.
1402938,10466797,2014-02-20,7237085,Katherine,"Great space! Perfect for a group of friends who want to be in Downtown Austin. Location was perfect. Not quite in the middle but close enough to everything such that we only walked a few blocks for bars, food, and fun. Yoga was everywhere! Great for running too-Close to the park! Apt was clean and a lot of light shined through! Internet was wishy washy, but T.V worked well! Kitchen was stocked with necessities! Beds were comfortable enough to get a good night's rest! Shower pressure was a little weak, but bathroom was clean overall and water and temperature worked well overall!  Would stay here all over again! Erica was timely with responding back and was interested in feedback! Thank you for the awesome stay! :) "
1402938,10527397,2014-02-24,8541769,Josie,"We had an amazing stay. The condo was beautiful! It worked out well for what we were trying to do. It was a perfect location to everything we needed. The only downside was the single parking spot, we had people traveling from all over and with the limited parking availability made things a challenge. Aside from that it was wonderful!"
1402938,10791456,2014-03-08,7808568,Amanda,"Awesome location right next door to the Austin Convention Center, 6th Street and a close walk to Congress! Lots of shopping and eateries close by! It was clean and comfortable for the six of us who stayed. My only complaint is that the walls are a little thin, so you can hear a lot of noise in the condo. Otherwise, a wonderful stay...thank you! "
1402938,10898986,2014-03-12,962216,Jared,"This was one of the smoothest Airbnb operations I've come across. Keyless entry, 24 hour live customer service and all the amenities you'd want in a downtown apartment."
1402938,10974837,2014-03-16,10198108,Felicia,"The location couldn't have been better and the place exceeded all our expectations. The place was clean, bright and exactly as the pictures showed. I would certainly stay here again! "
1402938,11168344,2014-03-24,4192150,Mario,"Great location and clean place! Erica and Liz were both very responsive on emails and phone conversations. For the value and location, this one in Austin can't be beat!"
1402938,11453984,2014-04-03,1315253,Daniel,"A wonderful stay at a great location!  Our host couldn't have been easier or more pleasant to work with. They were very accommodating with a late check in and were helpful throughout the stay. Location is great, close to downtown without feeling like you're in the ""middle of it"". Very close to the establishments on 6th street. One hint to those staying here, there is parking on the property but the opener is inside the apartment. Find a place to park temporarily and run up and get it. We couldn't find parking because of our late arrival and parked across the street at the Marriott.  $9.00 for 15 minutes! Yikes!"
1402938,11984670,2014-04-21,11049584,Merry,"Great place to rent, walking distance to almost everything - Rainey Street, Congress Bridge, downtown, etc - and anything else you may want to see is only a cheap cab ride away. The Airport shuttle actually drops you off a half a block from the condo - which made getting into Austin a breeze. Six of us stayed comfortably in this condo. There was only one shower, but two bathrooms which made it easy for all of us to share. 

The pictures represent the condo perfectly. This place has all the necessities you need for a fun Austin experience. Erica checked in with us practically the moment we checked in and assured us we could reach out to her if needed, even though we never had to. 

I would definitely recommend this place to a friend or stay here again."
1402938,12605814,2014-05-06,5244871,Alexis,"Erica is great! Condo was clean, exactly as described and had little modern touches (like a Nest!). Location could not be more central - definitely would stay here again!"
1402938,13575823,2014-05-31,12302349,Patrick,"Great place in an amazing location just a couple of blocks from 6th St, Rainey St, SoCo etc. Perfect for what we needed - clean and an absolute breeze to get in and out"
1402938,13872976,2014-06-07,3434175,Alex,"Clean + spacious apartment very close to the convention center (and I mean less than a block away) ... was perfect for our purposes.  4 large comfy beds, a full kitchen, and the management was very communicative.  A+
 
One thing to watch out for: electronic communication had one checkout time (10am), and the property had another posted (12pm).  This caused a bit of confusion when the cleaning staff showed up.... just pay attention!"
1402938,14264137,2014-06-16,9993145,Jenni,The TurnKey team was great to work with - I received multiple emails before and throughout the trip to ensure everything was going smoothly.  The property is in a great location and was exactly as is pictured.  Very comfortable and plenty of room for just the four of us who visited.  It was convenient to enter the complex and the apartment itself with door codes; we didn't even have to worry about carrying keys around. Great location and would definitely recommend!
1402938,14416814,2014-06-18,16712121,Noor,"Erica was a very nice host, she called to check up on us when we arrived and was very helpful. The house was just as listing described. I would definitely work with Erica again and also recommend her to anyone traveling to austin. Everything was so convenient around our stay, walking distance. "
1402938,14473267,2014-06-20,3401592,Brandon,"Unfortunately the air conditioning was not working the first night, which made the first night a little unpleasant.  However, called the next morning and someone was quickly there to fix the unit and get it running.  Other than that, great place.  Wonderful location to lots of restaurants, bars and nightlife.  Would definitely rent again."
1402938,14599642,2014-06-23,13073664,Martin,"The host was thorough, the place exceeded our expectations, check-in was a breeze, the condo was spotless & had a nice, simple style.  Perfect location close to everything, we walked to Rainey Street & 6th Street and loved every minute of it. I would definitely recommend this condo to anyone staying in the downtown area of Austin.  10 out of 10 stars.  Thank you for contributing to this memorable experience."
1402938,15667854,2014-07-14,12424038,Michelle,Did not get to stay here. No fault of Airbnb it was the mistake of TurnKey. 
1402938,16293318,2014-07-25,8635243,Kevin,"The apartment was very convenient to the convention center (it's directly across the street) and to most of downtown Austin. 6th street is just a few blocks away. We had 4 people at a conference at the convention center, and the apartment worked out very nicely. Soap, shampoo, towels, and detergent for the washer and dryer were all provided. It was a great place for 4 people going to a conference to stay--it was easy to come take a nap during sessions that weren't that interesting."
1402938,16741164,2014-08-01,17906310,Johan,Everything worked fine. Nice condo in central area close to 6th street bars etc. Good communication with the host.
1402938,17098079,2014-08-07,8319305,Karen,Really impressive apartment with loads of space. We really enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend the apartment to base your visit to Austin. You are just a few minutes from the local bars & restaurants. 
1402938,18060583,2014-08-21,6312291,Heidi,"Our stay in Austin was excellent - the apartment was great, perfectly located and having the pool in the adjacent block was a real bonus. Erica was extremely accommodating, friendly and helpful. "

Great for small groups, we had 6 people and there was plenty of space. Turnkey were fantastic, emailing us to make sure everything was okay!"
1402938,19431788,2014-09-12,7138503,Patrick,Beautiful space and great location. I rented this place out for my parents and they very much enjoyed their stay in Austin. Erica and her team were great in communicating with me throughout our stay. Would not hesitate to book again!
1402938,20007672,2014-09-22,17820721,Victor,"Everything turned out to be great.  Spacious living, pleasant cleaning people, and the location was just what we were looking for.  I had never rented from something like this and will definitely be doing so in the near future!"

We'll definitely be checking on this place the next time we're in Austin. "
1402938,20891622,2014-10-07,7521367,Gina,"This condo was absolutely perfect for the 6 of us staying for ACL weekend. The location was great- just a few blocks from 6th street.. walking distance from Rainey street with a ton of great bars and restaurants. We were able to find a close bike rental shop just a few blocks away and it was about a 15 minute bike ride to Zilker Park. 

The actual condo was spacious and welcoming. The kitchen was fabulous and we were able to cook breakfast each morning.

From start to finish Erica and her team were very professional and accommodating. We received helpful instructions and tips prior to arrival and appreciated Erica's quick responses to any questions I had. 

I would highly recommend staying here for a group looking to enjoy the amazing city of Austin!"
1402938,21416587,2014-10-17,5218152,Bill,"We stayed in the Condo for 4 nights and had a great time. The guys at Turnkey were very professional, with a smooth check in process and a help line available for any questions 24/7. The apartment is in a great position, perfectly nestled a few streets from lots of restaurants and bars. The upstairs loft does get noise from the lounge room so would keep that in mind if your group plans on sleeping different hours. It didn't bother us. Would definitely recommend, thanks Erica and Turnkey. "

1402938,23377805,2014-11-30,9687965,Megan,This place was great!  Cozy and within walking distance to Rainey St and 6th.  Lots of coffee shops and restaurants to explore.

Instructions were easy to follow on how to check in,  and what you need to do before you leave. 

Would definitely recommend this place. "

Only saving grace was the emergency phone receptionist Sam. She was patient and helped me get situated. Let's hope the company makes their wrongs a right. "

1402938,26418312,2015-02-12,2012666,Elizabeth,Great location and place! We really enjoyed our stay. Easy checkin process!
1402938,26679397,2015-02-17,878922,Ellen,"The condo was perfect for our weekend.  It is centrally located and, assuming you like to walk, you can walk anywhere and everywhere.  It was just 2 blocks from the start of the Marathon - who could ask for more?

I did not realize it was a 3 story walk up - fine for us but others may want to know this in advance.

Perfect for 4 people."
1402938,27639461,2015-03-09,11424117,Vicki,"We were 5 old friends meeting in Austin for a wedding at the Four Seasons Hotel over a long weekend.  When I rented the unit I thought that there was 1 bedroom and 1 loft bedroom, so was pleasantly surprised that there were actually 2 good sized bedrooms plus the loft with 2 beds.  There was more than enough sleeping/dressing space for us all even given that it has only one shower.    This is a  clean and modern unit with nice wood floors and high ceilings in the living area.   We spent our time going from one activity to the next and  didn't spend a lot of down time in the unit, but the living area was somewhat small and furniture  fairly minimal for 5-6 people to just hang out, if that's what a group wanted to do.  For us it worked out fine.    We each were provided one towel and we had 2 washcloths to share among us , so it would have been nice to have a few more of each available.     The unit is very convenient to everything downtown.  We had events at several different hotels and we always walked.  We also walked to the South Congress area and of course 6th street.   There are a number of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops around.  We often found ourselves at  Medici on Congress for coffee in the morning, but there were other options near by.   There is a nonstop (fast)  city bus from the airport every 30 minutes that delivers you half a block away for  $1.50.     There is a Courtyard Marriott directly across the street if you need to ask questions or have them hold your bag for a few hours.  The management company was very attentive and helpful throughout the process.    All in all this was a very good place to stay."
1402938,27826400,2015-03-13,18273466,Amanda,This condo is in a great location in the heart of downtown Austin. It worked well for my team as we were in Austin for SXSWedu. The convention center is about five minutes from the condo...and that's walking distance! Amazing and affordable! Plenty of space for 3-4 people with nice amenities. Thanks for making our trip to Austin a nice one! 
1402938,28859440,2015-03-31,10533290,Emily,"We had a WONDERFUL stay at this condo! The place was immaculate when we arrived and we felt right at home. The beds were so comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked with all cooking supplies, and the space was just beautiful overall. We could not have asked for a more lovely space. The location of this condo is perfect if you're looking to take in all Austin has to offer. We were able to walk everywhere!! Next time I head to Austin, I will definitely be staying at this location again & recommend this condo to anyone looking to stay in a comfortable, clean, modern, spacious and spectacular location! I truly cannot think of any negative aspects; the condo was superb. Erica was fabulous and so attentive to any questions I had- extremely helpful and kind. Thank you so much for making our vacation so easy, carefree and fun! Can't wait to come back!"
1402938,29659741,2015-04-11,14455428,Rudy,"Great downtown location. Four friends stayed comfortably. Having parking was a big win. Near all the action on 6th Street but still quiet. Also, near a bike-share station. The complex is nice and cool. Not much of a view, but the balcony is welcome.

Kitchen and laundry came in handy. It's nice to be able to cook a meal. Beds are extremely comfortable. Cabinetry is older but in good shape. Chromecast and WI-FI was great. 

Overall, we would stay here again."
1402938,29815963,2015-04-13,25641799,Tom,The condo and the amenities was great. Very clean and the location is close to everything that downtown Austin has to offer! Highly recommended!
1402938,30018478,2015-04-16,26595424,Collin,Erica gave easy instructions for the condo and it was a very comfortable place to stay for tour of us during a business trip to Austin. The location is perfect for downtown activities and great places to eat on South Congress.
1402938,30120567,2015-04-18,24134684,Casey,"Our stay was absolutely amazing, the place was in a perfect location and in immaculate condition! I was very happy with the way the place was represented, in fact the photos online didn't do the place justice! Highly recommended and will definitely rent again when I return to Austin. Thank you "
1402938,30756800,2015-04-27,25976374,Alison,"The listing description was very accurate, and Erica was prompt and thorough in responding to any inquiries I made."
1402938,30980156,2015-04-30,26001281,Dan,"The listing was accurate. The place seemed professionally cleaned and ready for us to arrive. I received email messages ahead of time letting me know check-in times and the codes for the doors to the building complex and unit. 

The location was excellent. My wife and I were able to walk to lots of things: the Congress Street Bridge (where the bats are), Franklin BBQ, Houndstooth Coffee, the Russian House restaurant, the State House. 

There was probably more room than the two of us needed (the space could easily host 4 individuals) and given the Marriott is across the street, where we have a rewards card, it's probably could have been just as, or more, cost-efficient to stay at the hotel. But, we wanted to try an Airbnb experience and we had fun."
1402938,31139984,2015-05-02,11422743,Philip,Everything was perfect. I'll stay here every time I'm in Austin from now on. 
1402938,31602743,2015-05-07,9894292,Brian,beautiful property and location.
1402938,32266670,2015-05-16,2258447,Eric,We had a great stay. Everything was as described and super easy. Someone was parked in our assigned spot and the host took care of it right away. Will definitely stay here again next time we're in Austin.
1402938,32739124,2015-05-21,19600995,Franklin,Received automated and helpful communications before arriving and during our stay. Hosts answered the questions I sent quickly. Place was very clean and everything we needed was provided. Great location if you're at the conference center or want to be around 6th Street. Building was quiet. 
1402938,33770351,2015-06-01,13791910,Jessica,Amazing location. Perfect apartment. Myself and five girlfriends had plenty of room (4 queen beds and 2 toilets). It's on a quiet street but very close to awesome nightlife. We really loved it!
1402938,34024222,2015-06-03,33899278,Christopher,"A wonderful, clean flat with loads of room to spread out. We particularly liked the location - close to everything from great dining options, bars and good walking. Thoroughly enjoyed staying on 4th St and would highly recommend the flat and location to anyone staying in Austin."
1402938,34514470,2015-06-09,7282201,Cindy,"Checking in was easy - secure entrance code was provided ahead of time and worked easily. The apt was ready - clean, and just as described. Very convenient neighborhood - walk to most things downtown. Private parking spot is also very convenient and easy for the short time we rented a car. We also received a complimentary late check-out and when we returned from brunch to a changed entrance code one quick phone call got us back in to get our stuff and be on our way."
1402938,34849105,2015-06-13,1440234,Chanson,The condo was terrific -- completely as shown in the pictures and really a comfortable stay.  We felt right at home.  The location is fantastic.   
1402938,35465957,2015-06-19,31993585,Troy,"Close to convention centre.  Great walking location to most sights.  Lots of space, some upgrades could be done to the bathrooms. "
1402938,35999581,2015-06-24,27584774,Jeff,"The place is great! Plenty of room, clean and right in the heart of downtown. Was down for a wedding and saved a bundle vs a hotel. Our flight got in a few hours before check-in, but they let us come by and drop our bags. It's a little noisy downtown, but being from Chicago it was no big deal. There's even a bus from the airport that drops off right in front for 1.75! I would definitely stay at this property again."
1402938,37814557,2015-07-10,27187185,Felix,"My family and I stood two nights at this apartment and we were really happy. The Apartment is close to Downtown, so you can walk everywhere. The Apartment was clean and it has four Queen size bed, which gives you lots of space. Furthermore you don't have to worry about keys because you have access with a code to the gate and the door and also a clicker, which allows you access to the parking spots. The balcony gives you a nice view of downtown austin. We would defiantly recommend that Apartment. "
1402938,38119570,2015-07-13,31827805,Matt,Awesome. The place is great. Definitely would stay there again. 
1402938,38996647,2015-07-20,3778860,Jeff,Perfect location for a weekend trip in Austin.  We showed up and the place was identical to the pictures posted; couldn't have asked for a better stay!
1402938,41659270,2015-08-08,38861071,Michael,"This is an extremely nice apartment, very well situated in respect to 6th St. and the Convention Center.  The furnishings are first class, everything was clean and the location is quiet.  Little else needed for a pleasurable stay."
1402938,42067578,2015-08-10,40402519,Trevor,"We had zero interaction with Erica so I cannot leave a review for her specifically. The large property management company that owns this property is very difficult to deal with. We had many issues that took a large portion of my vacation to deal with. I arrived and the cleaners were still in the room and finished about fifteen minutes late. There was supposed to be a gate clicker to access the parking lot and it was nowhere to be found. The clicker took 2 hours to get to us and we could not park and unload. Once we got the clicker we found that someone was parked in our spot. The management company could not help us at all and told me to call the tow truck and I would have had to wait around to let them in. I chose not to call the tow truck and give the owner of the car a chance to move. He was there for over 14 hours and the management company failed to deliver on their promise to take care of it. I spoke with one representative who was polite, however he refused to compensate me for the time wasted. I asked to speak to the manager who was understandably unavailable as it was rather late. Never heard from him until a few days after our stay. I received a voice mail from him saying he would send me contact info, but all I received was a generic email to review my stay. I gave up dealing with them however I feel deeply that I did not get full value from my stay. We couldn't even access the pool because it was part of the next complex that we had no access to. Overall, we spent a ton of money to deal with constant headaches. Spoke with a different representative each time I called, so it was no fault of any single person, only poor property management. I surely wish I could get some of the money back for wasting my time, but nobody cared enough to even offer."
1402938,43086649,2015-08-17,8312983,Barron,The facilities were spotless and the apartment was exactly as advertised. Loved every second of the apartment and Austin. 
1402938,44223958,2015-08-24,41465290,Erica,Perfect location for a weekend trip in Austin.  
1402938,46150209,2015-09-08,3678015,Justin,"PROS
-The management company was very on top of things and timely. 
-They provided complimentary early check in and check out.
-AC is great.
-Location is pretty solid.
-Kitchen is great / fully stocked.
-Beds are comfier than expected.

CONS
-The shower water would turn scalding hot very suddenly every time we showered and burned us. Water pressure wasn't great.
-Some (surprisingly) very sharp edges on the furniture, especially the bed frames and stairwell. As dumb as it sounds, be careful - we all got bruised, knocked in the head and at worst cut up on the knees from these."
1402938,46765168,2015-09-13,15971560,Nick,"The condo is amazing. However, the management company could be better...they didn't leave the parking lot gate clicker in the apartment as outlined in their orientation email. I tried calling their ""24 hour"" hotline and never got through after about 45 minutes of waiting. I had to park in a public garage for the night, which the management company never offered to pay for..."
1402938,47140698,2015-09-16,29066300,Kelleen,"My host ""TurnKey"" Vacation rentals made us feel very welcome. I received an email a few weeks before travel to submit a driver license, a week before as a reminder and again the day before. Directions were great, after arriving with barely any sleep, they helped a weary travel with her questions. Once entering condo it was clean and comfortable, perfectly located in the middle of everything. Off the street parking a big plus."
1402938,49089095,2015-09-30,3751218,Eric,The host canceled this reservation 29 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1402938,50924318,2015-10-16,40516506,Matthew,Great place. Plenty of space and very clean. All was exactly as pictured and described. I personally didn't like the mattress or pillows but my travel companion did. Too thin for me. Would stay here again though. Can't beat the location or price. 
7739811,49811429,2015-10-06,43726232,Thomas,We didn't really get s chance to see Emily except once but the stay was great! Clean room and home.

The room was clean and well-furnished, and is located close enough to downtown that I could travel there fairly quickly. I definitely hope to stay here again the next time I visit Austin!"
5601772,36665042,2015-06-30,30312284,Caleb,"Great stay! A lovely home. Lori and Elijah are wonderful hosts, and were very accommodating. The room is excellent, and the neighborhood is lovely. Only a short cab ride from downtown, and steps away from a great bus stop. If you want great value and welcoming hosts, stay here!"
5601772,36989906,2015-07-03,35939784,Misty,"This was my first official Airbnb experience and I couldn't be happier with my choice to go with Lori & Elijah!  I felt incredibly welcome in their home and they invited us to join them in activities.  The home was exactly how it appears in the photos and the bedroom with its own private toilet & sink was perfect for our stay.  The location was even more central than I realized to all activities I wanted to explore while visiting.  They even left us with a map and some fun things to play with (don't forget to check the top dresser drawer!). I would definitely stay with them again and, in fact, hope to see them more when I officially move to Austin.  "
5601772,37247479,2015-07-05,35939784,Misty,This was an extension to the previous stay I'd planned with Lori.  Lori was incredibly accommodating in letting me extend my stay and made me feel completely welcome in her home.  
5601772,39231345,2015-07-21,15109515,Ivonne,"Lori and Elijah were an amazing host, so kind and helpful with everything, I totally recommend their place, so cozy! "

Their house is very nice, clean and close to downtown, also by public transport.
We highly recommend staying there and hope to see them again.
Thanks again for the wonderfull time."

5601772,48457940,2015-09-26,21061136,Tyler,"Everything was perfect, Lori and Elijah were great hosts. They treated me like family. The apartment was clean and spacious and the A/C and fans made everything comfortable. Convenient access to the bus, about 20 mins to downtown. Nice, quiet neighborhood."
5601772,49609532,2015-10-05,39734270,Conrad,"Phenomenal!!! Elijah & Lori are excellent and friendly people. Very accommodating. The place we stayed in was very clean, colorful and inviting. They prepared some of our meals, and left us to go through their kitchen freely to find something to eat and drink whenever. 

They also had some friends over for a ""camp out night""....this was pretty epic. Some has guitars, and played some music while we all mellowed out underneath the stars. My wife and I were very happy staying with Lori & Elijah and we very much recommend to shack up with them if you're ever in Austin and are looking for a great place to stay for a few days.
P.S. ACL was amazing!!!"
5601772,52351250,2015-10-28,19745678,Donal,"Lori and Elijah have a truly Austin home and I really appreciated them allowing me to be part of their lives for a few days. It's such a warm and welcoming place and they are exceptional hosts. We had some great chats, a few drinks and even watched some Netflics! The room was perfect, and kept exceptionally clean and tidy. The guys were also very generous, always offering tea/ coffee and even food they had prepared. They also gave me the odd lift when I was heading out. This has definitely been one of my best Airbnb and Lori and Elijah are exceptional hosts!"

3294395,25909663,2015-01-29,14209588,Cheryl,"Brooke was very responsive to my questions.  Instructions for accessing condo were very clear.  She was very responsive when we had a small snafu with the wi-fi password and resolved it very quickly on a Saturday evening.  The condo was great - decor, appliances were all very new and modern and everything was comfortable.  This is a great location, walking distance to plenty of restaurants and to downtown, two blocks from Whole Foods, easy access to highways for going further afield. We would definitely stay here again on future visits to Austin! "

Having access to the laundry was also a great plus for us. She even let us stay an extra day when our plans changed. If you need a place to stay in Austin, stay here! It's a great location with quick access to everything you need. The nearby Central Market is also great.

You can find bus routes to the centre and a coffee shop below the building. I was totally satisfied with my stay and would not hesitate in recommending it to anyone.   "
734321,3490550,2013-02-06,1703612,Donna,"Guadalupe's loft was perfect for my stay in Austin! Her place was warm, comfortable, welcoming, and had all the amenities I was looking for in a place. The location was close to downtown (5 min by bus/light rail and 20 min. walking) and public transportation was easily accessible. Guadalupe was also a great host! She was very helpful about any questions I had about Austin and she was kind enough to show me around the city, as well. Not only was she a great host, but we became instant friends! I would highly recommend staying with her if anyone is searching for a place in Austin! "

734321,3731005,2013-03-09,5167858,Jeff,Lupe is great host and an awesome person. I felt right at home and Lupe helped me find all the things (restaurants and food trucks!) I was looking for. The place was really clean and super convenient for access into the city. I've already told family that they need to stay there when they're in Austin.
734321,3760307,2013-03-12,1715186,Ian,"I can't recommend Lupe more highly as a host. We stayed with her for a few days during SXSW, and we didn't want to leave! She showed us why she loves Austin so much. She told us about the best bars and the best venues, and  sympathized with our hangovers. She's helpful, friendly, informative, unobtrusive, and has kicking taste in music. Come to Austin, stay with Lupe. 

 "
734321,3879335,2013-03-24,5196468,Jim,"I needed an affordable place to stay for a couple days near UT that was peaceful and quiet. This fit the bill.  The coffee shop next door and a bike rental shop a few blocks away were unexpected perks. This was my first time using airbnb and I am already recommending it to others. My hostess was great.  I was a bit nervous staying at a strangers house at first, but it worked out just fine. "
734321,4020398,2013-04-03,1923897,Sherry,"Lupe's loft is beautiful, immaculate and quiet.  The bed is divine. The private bath adjoins the bedroom.  Parking is secured behind a gate.  Bennu Coffee, just steps away, serves excellent coffee and tea. My only regret is that we didn't see much of Lupe, who is such a lovely person."
734321,4084801,2013-04-08,5625997,Charles,"Lupe has a beautiful, quiet apartment within easy walking distance of UT campus, as well as a neighborhood full of restaurants. Before my arrival she sent a detailed email with information on transport, parking, directions, access to the apartment, and nearby dining. The accommodations were comfortable and quiet -- she and I didn't even cross paths until the second day of my stay!

This was my first Airbnb experience and has made me a permanent customer. I would recommend Airbnb in general, and Lupe's place in particular, to anybody visiting Austin."
734321,4208521,2013-04-18,3914456,Terry,"Lupe's place was a very good fit for me.  I had to be in Austin for business participating in a conference near 6th street.  My client asked me to extend my engagement twice and I requested extending my reservation with AirBnB and Lupe twice.   Lupe approved my request each time making my visit much easier than if I had to change lodging.

Her loft is in a great location near downtown Austin and U of T.  It's very secure with a secured parking lot.  There is a terrific coffee shop right next door, which was very convenient.

The bed was very comfortable and the room was quite generous in size.

There were only one minor thing I would change about my stay:
The ceiling fan would only run at the highest speed which was pretty noisy.  It was fairly hot while I was there.  However, in Lupe's defense ...

I would have been quite comfortable had I been more diligent in reading Lupe's email the day I checked in which clearly stated, ""Please feel free to adjust the temperature (located in the kitchen, left wall)"".  Then the fan would not have been an issue.

Other than this one very minor issue (based on my own negligence rather than any fault of Lupe's), my stay was terrific.  I would happily stay there again."
734321,4250783,2013-04-22,4587628,Alejandro,"Guadalupe was so nice and helpful she knows Austin and she will direct you in the right place.

Go say hi for me!"
734321,4466231,2013-05-06,6164160,Ryan,"I booked Lupe's place for my mom, who was visiting Austin for a couple nights, because it was right around the corner from our house. It was better than just convenient-- Lupe is very sweet, accommodating, and helpful, especially for someone like my mom who doesn't know Austin all that well. 
Can't recommend her highly enough! "
734321,4616510,2013-05-15,6045884,Dustin,"Lupe was very helpful and friendly. Her place was very affordable, nice and clean, and was in a nice area to get to downtown or wherever you wanted to go. She also had very good suggestions of things to do and places to go, I would recommend anyone traveling to Austin with airbnb check out her place."
734321,4709425,2013-05-21,5950714,Mary,"Comfortable, private, and convenient.... Lupe's one bedroom (super comfy bed and sheets) with bath accommodation was perfect for our needs.  She is an excellent communicator which takes some of the anxiety out of trying something new.  The space was modestly open and bright. Lupe's taste was evident, personalizing the room with her belongings. Sharing the kitchen/living space with Lupe was barely detectable yet it remained inviting, warm, and available.  As advertised....very nice!"
734321,4849119,2013-05-28,1646046,Kristi,"Lupe was great! She is very easy to coordinate with and very friendly, which really helped me. The area is very central and convenient to navigate. I came from the airport with a rental car and there was a gated lot, so I never had to worry about finding parking. Also, there is a great coffee shop right next to the apartment. The apartment itself is very clean and well suited for anyone looking to avoid an overpriced hotel stay. The private room and bathroom were perfect. I have been to Austin many times, but having Lupe as a host really did make my visit better. She is communicative, helpful, non-intrusive and friendly...and even has a cute bunny! Even after a day of swimming she had some aloe to help my poor burned shoulders. Really could not recommend her place more. "
734321,4975783,2013-06-04,6632483,Laura,"Staying at Lupes place was such a privilege! Lupe is the most bright, kind, lovely, easy going person imaginable. She made the whole process so easy on us and was non imposing, helpful and generous. Her house was clean, organised, quirky and so cute. The location is perfect, close to transport, close to the city and close to a great selection of food vans. We cannot express in words how much we enjoyed our time at Lupes apartment and extend enough thank yous to her for making our stay so enjoyable and easy. The only issue we had was with the front door locking system, but lupe was quick to help us sort it out. Otherwise 100/100!! Thank you so much for having us :-)"
734321,5149905,2013-06-15,5546730,Recinda,"My daughter and I road tripped from Miami to Austin for a conference. We were very happy with our stay at Lupe's. Our schedule was crazy busy, so we didn't see much of her. But the location was perfect (close, but not too close, to downtown), great coffee shop next door where I got some work done, and a quiet, relaxing home.
Communication was great and everything was as described. Thanks, Lupe!"
734321,5516370,2013-07-03,5832725,Violet,"We really enjoyed staying with Lupe. She was sweet, generous and fun to be around. The room and bathroom were great. Beautifully decorated, clean, spacious and private. Communication was easy and smooth. The area is nice and safe with coffee shops and restaurants around. We would definitely stay there again, it was awesome!"
734321,5776266,2013-07-15,4520981,France,"je suis restée 2 nuits chez Lupe et Chubaka (son joli lapin). Lupe est une hôte charmante et dédiée. La chambre et la salle de bain privées sont bien propres, confortables et décorées avec goût. En plus, avoir accès à un stationnement sécurisé a été un plus pour moi. Merci Lupe pour cet accueil chaleureux.
I stayed 2 nights at Lupe and Chubaka (the fluffy rabbit) place. Lupe is a charming  and dedicated host. The room and private bathroom are clean, comfortable and pretty. In addition, the secured parking was a plus for me. Lupe, thank you for your warm welcome !"
734321,5996772,2013-07-25,7045052,Ben,A great place to stay. Close to everything and a friendly host.
734321,6097729,2013-07-29,7413534,Eve,"I had the most wonderful time at Lupe's place! I couldn't believe how nice the apartment was when I got there. It was absolutely spotless and such a nice weekend retreat, if only for one night.  The bed was super comfortable and the whirlpool tub was amazing. I didn't get to meet Lupe unfortunately, but she was very communicative and helpful.  I would definitely recommend her place to anyone coming to Austin. "
734321,6266431,2013-08-05,7868796,Joe,Everything was as Lupe promised. I really enjoyed my stay.
734321,7051617,2013-09-04,2220878,Tamar,"Lupe's apt was perfect, from the great bedroom and private bathroom to her awesome book collection, I couldn't have asked for a better accommodation! The apartment is in a nice location and close to everything (by car). I definitely became a regular at Bennu during my short stay in Austin :) 

Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Lupe, but everything went really smoothly in terms of getting the keys, parking and other logistics of the sort. 
 
Thanks for making my Austin-experience so memorable! 
"
734321,7349333,2013-09-16,3208990,Melanie,"We changed to AirBnB last minute after finding some great options in Austin and couldn't have been happier with our decision.  
Lupe's place was fantastic-- super clean, secure location, and the room itself was perfect for our girls trip.  

The place itself is located next to some amazing restaurants and coffee shops.  We were close enough to downtown to walk around UT and even made the trek to 6th street with ease.  We went for a couple of runs in the area and if we were ever to move to Austin, East Austin would definitely be top of the list.  

Tip: We didn't have a car on the trip and taxis are EXTREMELY rare in the city.  See if you can rent a bike from Windmill or have one delivered if you plan on getting around easier.  Hopefully uber or Flywheel will make their way to Austin soon!"
734321,7528719,2013-09-23,8716473,Alison,"Greeted by a friendly smile and a very fluffy bunny, I had a wonderful stay at Lupe's home. She gave great recommendations for things to do in and around Austin and provided lovely conversation. The room and the whole house is very clean and cozy. A great experience overall!"
734321,7822584,2013-10-04,6130330,Kate,"I stayed with Lupe for a few nights while apartment hunting. She's got a great spot! It's clean, comfy bed, awesome bathtub with jacuzzi jets, a desk, a nice kitchen, etc. I didn't really benefit from the awesome location since I was so busy bopping around, but it really is a great location for people interested in discovering Austin. Recommended! Thanks, Lupe! :)"
734321,7951534,2013-10-09,8111216,Alicia,"Lupe was a great hostess! The private bedroom+bathroom space as well as secure parking lot were great. Lupe let us hitch a ride into downtown which was super convenient. Also, she was kind enough to let me use her hair dryer and provide recommendations for restaurants. I definitely recommend her place as long as you have a car. :-) "
734321,8093732,2013-10-15,8846329,Rina,"Guadalupe was a wonderful host! She was sweet and accommodating and her pet bunny is adorable :-) The room is very comfortable and near some good amenities (24 hr cafe, sandwich shop, corner store, etc). The location is a bit out of the way for the rest of the city but close to public transportation and walking distance to some great neighborhood spots. Would definitely recommend staying with Guadalupe for your visit to Austin"
734321,8238565,2013-10-21,4443799,Samuel,"Lupe has been the perfect host while staying for the week-en din
Austin, she loves very much the city and eager to share her deep
knowledge of all the best places.

Lupe's flat is perfectly located not too far if you want to 
walk (and see the beautiful eastern part of austin) to go to the 6th
or the public transport.

I would definitively come back at Lupes place as I really enjoyed my
stay there and looking forward to come back by Austin."
734321,8659715,2013-11-11,6273099,Marsha,"Delightful stay with Lupe and her bunny!  Everything went off without a hitch, her access information was clear, everything was in place.  Comfortable and welcoming home base for my visit to attend a friend's wedding.  Loved proximity to all my activities and downtown Austin's many restaurants and recreation.  Would definitely stay again when the opportunity arises!"
734321,8851234,2013-11-21,3569826,Afonso,"Lupe and her best friend, chewbacca (bunny pet), where one of the best apartment I have ever been.

Location is great, safe and very well located. The room is huge with also a big bathroom. 

Lupe is very friendly, provided me everything I needed and even more. Helped me choose restaurants and places to go. We had a few nice talks and even watched a movie together, she was great!

Won't search for another place when I'm heading back to Austin, loved Lupe and her house!
"
734321,9822956,2014-01-12,11043034,Nick,"Lupe was a fantastic host! I was in town for two nights for a residency interview and she completely respected my space and need for early departures both mornings.  At the same time, after the interview, when I was looking for a good running route and some bars to hang at for the night she was full of suggestions - which proved to be great recommendations.  The location is also convenient as it has a 24hr coffee shop right next door, a great sandwich shop across the street and is a 5-10 minute ride to downtown.  Lastly, before I had even arrived she sent an email that answered all of my questions and provided all the necessary info for me to get into her place and park my car no problem.  Can't speak highly enough about my stay - beat any hotel I've stayed at during this interview trek. "
734321,10457649,2014-02-19,6966790,Deanne,"we loved the room and FABULOUS bed! - - lupe was a perfect host
even when we arrived very late the first night!! - - there is gated parking and right next door is the BEST coffee in ALL of austin!!! - - 
and for me - - a bird lover - - the sound of birdsongs from the
neighborhood was so DELIGHTFUL every day! 

"
734321,10521362,2014-02-23,4285208,Brian,"By far, the BEST Airbnb experience I have experienced so far. The SECOND you walk into the apartment, you know this is special place Lupe is absolutely delightful, and Chubaka (her little bunny) is the sweetest thing. The plants, cleanliness, open air and natural light, and 100% positive energy makes this place a GEM! I will stay with Lupe in a heartbeat if I come back to Austin, and you should too! She is helpful and engaging, but also gives you space. The bed is comfortable, bathroom perfect, and close to a few good buses that take you anywhere in the city, or a short cab ride from most cool spots. The hip 24 hour coffee shop next door is open 24 hours and has a nice selection of food. You can't miss with this place. HIGHLY recommended. Thanks Lupe, for everything!"
734321,11011641,2014-03-17,397275,Lisa,Lupe is a wonderful host! She provided transportation information and dining options and even walked me to the metro station and dropped me off downtown one day. The loft was clean and comfortable with gated parking. I would definitely stay with Lupe again.  
734321,11204928,2014-03-24,12901454,Sean,"My stay with Lupe was excellent. We were both very busy and so did not get to chat hardly at all, but the room and shower were clean, quiet and spacious. She even provided little hotel soap for the shower. Nice touch!

I fully intend to stay here the next time I am in Austin. Thanks, Lupe!"
734321,11373736,2014-03-31,4097165,Christopher,Wonderful! I highly recommend this space to all travelers!
734321,12354393,2014-04-29,336219,Andreas,"Fantastic room, fantastic host. Look forward to staying with Lupe again sometime. Bring your running shoes and join Lupe for an early morning run!"
734321,12629808,2014-05-06,9603448,Harold,"Lupe was a wonderful host. Her place was clean, interesting, comfortable and very pleasant to be in. She is helpful, organized and delightful to be around. She is the best!!  "
734321,28083793,2015-03-17,12984462,Steven,Enjoyed Guadalupe's space and it's easy access to SXSW. Good restaurants up on Manor road. Very tidy apartment. Warm and pleasant. 
2473735,11380478,2014-03-31,13356898,Victor,Thor was a perfect host.  He accommodated us on every turn.  His home was right in the middle of everything we wanted to go to which made our Austin experience great.  Good communication too! 
2473735,13992475,2014-06-09,16071383,Elizabeth,Such a beautiful house and in a perfect location. A group of my friends stayed and we could not have been more impressed with everything. There was plenty of space for us and the back porch was a perfect way to relax. Very short cab ride downtown. Recommended to all!
2473735,20813173,2014-10-06,16047390,Kimberly,"The house and host were wonderful and very accommodating.  The location was great, short distances from Zilker Park and downtown.  Plenty of room for our group of 6.  Thor was very responsive and helpful when needed.  Would recommend to others for a great Austin experience!"
2473735,21142072,2014-10-12,15726589,Joey,"Thor was a great host. You have a beautiful home that was everything you listed. Very comfortable for a group of 8 people, a lot of space and very well located. Very close to Zilker park, downtown, and a lot of great restaurants. Would recommend your house as a place to stay. Thor was very flexible and helpful with check in and check out. Thank you!!!"
2473735,26015450,2015-02-01,1503803,Rubin,"We had an amazing time at Thor's house. The location couldn't be better - it is in the beautiful Barton Hills, yet close to a lot of restaurants, bars and hangout spots. The house itself is big enough for 6 people (can probably accommodate more). It is beautifully furnished and the kitchen was well stocked. Thor was very responsive and met us briefly when we arrived. Overall experience A+. "
2473735,33068352,2015-05-25,26858493,Evan,"The house was awesome.  Thor was super easy to communicate with, and made the check-in and check-out process very easy.  The house was perfect for what we needed.  It gave us plenty of space to spread out at night, and plenty of space during the morning and day time to be around each other and not feel crowded.  I really enjoyed staying at this house.  First time Airbnb and I could only hope any future experiences I have are of the same quality as Thor, his house, and the neighborhood."
2473735,37221222,2015-07-05,30810671,Yishu,"It was comfortable stay, there are 2queens in 2 rooms, 2twins in another room, and 1 queen sofa bed. We got 6 ppl, the place is large enough for us, we enjoyed our stay!"
2473735,39818825,2015-07-26,37684677,Daniel,"Thor was an excellent host. We had a rather late check-in, but Thor waited for us to show us around his home and provide us with nearby restaurant suggestions. He was very flexible with the check-in and check-out times. 

The home was very nicely located and it only took us 10 minutes to get to anywhere we wanted. Overall, I couldn't have been happier to stay here."
2473735,50283588,2015-10-11,19245258,Cary,"Thor and his family were happy and helpful hosts during our entire stay. From greeting us when we arrived with a tour to ensuring we had a good idea of the surrounding areas, they made the experience a delight. 

The home itself is well kept up and had plenty of space for our group of 6. Everyone had their own bed and the bathrooms were well stocked with fresh towels. All in all, an excellent AirBnB experience! "
1618754,8811060,2013-11-18,5349490,Josh,Martha and her husband were very welcoming even though we were a last second booking! They offered us drinks upon arrival and even offered to put together some breakfast in the morning. The bed was comfortable and the private bathroom was clean and stocked. I would definitely recommend them to travelers in the North Austin area. 
1618754,10830001,2014-03-09,9452445,James,"Martha and Paul were extremely gracious, gregarious, and helpful hosts They spent much of their time recommending great restaurants, fun places to see and experience, as well as giving much of the history of the area. The bedroom is small, but the adjoining bath is very nice and they give you the full run of their home so you feel very comfortable. They provided wonderful breakfasts and went out of their way to provide the types of food we enjoy Their house was extremely clean and quiet, ideal for sleep We felt like we were visiting family and would recommend them highly to anyone visiting Austin and looking for more than a simple bed-and-breakfast. "
1618754,10950510,2014-03-14,12652777,Christopher,"My recent stay with Martha and Paul was  wonderful. I ended up book with Martha last minute and received a confirmation within 30 minutes. They were both extremely friendly and knowledgeable of the city and recommended all the great places I need to see. The room was clean and cozy and couldn't have picked a better place to stay when in Austin!!!
Thanks
Chris"
1618754,11805975,2014-04-15,10441918,Craig,A very comfortable bed and full bathroom.  Easy access to Mo-Pac and Research Blvd.  A very accommodating host. 
1618754,20782577,2014-10-05,21660930,Bob,Every year a couple of friends and I go to the Wizard World Comic Convention in Austin. One of our friends dropped out so my other friend and I were trying to save some money on where we were going to stay and decided to try airbnb. Even though the description of the private room that Martha and Paul offer clearly states that they require a minimum of a 3 night  stay (for the Austin CIty Limits weekends which coincidentally coincided with the Comic Book Convention this year) they made an exception and let us stay with them. I'm glad they did too. The room was surprisingly private with an adjoining private bathroom and was very clean. Paul and Martha were very accommodating and very helpful. They offered plenty of options for places to eat and things to do in Austin. I would definitely stay again and recommend others to do the same.  
1618754,21746315,2014-10-23,21185947,Martha,"We felt most welcome in the home of Martha and Paul.  The description of the room and bath was accurate.  The neighborhood was nice, typical urban Austin.  We would want to stay with them again."
1618754,27917276,2015-03-15,8385769,Hayuta,"Martha and Paul were the nicest and most welcoming hosts ever. The room was warm, clean, comfortable and peaceful - just what I needed.
I was in Austin for a convention, and everyday was long and busy.  It felt like going home at the end of each day.  Thank you."
7770912,49551722,2015-10-04,45293880,Thien,"Stephanie's place was better than advertised. We came to Austin for ACL weekend, and it was it was a perfect spot to call up an UBER to take you to the concert. The apartment division is pleasant, and everyone minds there own business. 

Stephanie was the perfect host as well. She made sure we had clean towels and sheets for our use, and she was more than the flexible for meetups for key exchanges. Overall, my entourage had an awesome experience for our ACL weekend, and Stepanie's place was one biggest reasons why we had a memorable weekend. Next year for ACL, if Stephanie's place is available, rest assured we'll be booking her place again. "
7770912,50288176,2015-10-11,3097212,Samantha,"Stephanie was a very accommodating host. She allowed me and a couple of friends to stay at her place while visiting Austin and attending ACL. Overall, she was quick to respond and even brought us some breakfast treats. She was very friendly and helpful. Her place was as described including parking and access to Wifi. "
7770912,51912555,2015-10-25,43530832,Bryan,Stephanie made us feel very welcome and made the key exchange very easy. Very quick at responding as well. Highly recommend.
4855674,25824742,2015-01-26,20983506,John,"Very easy transaction with the TurnKey people, especially for us because we had a late arrival on the first night.  Great location is what drew us but after arrival, this place was like living in an Ikea showroom.  First class appliances, cookware, linens and everything else.   Even the bunk beds were of very high quality, and very comfortable.  The only blip was that the hot water heater was not properly set at arrival but the response was prompt after an inquiry.  We had to take rather quick and courageous showers the first morning, but it's now in the fun story of a sensational weekend in Austin.  I would highly recommend this property."
4855674,26603291,2015-02-16,1304269,Pooja,"Fantastic location, clean, quiet. Great place to stay with multiple people. Plenty of room and all the amenities you could need. Easy to get in/out no matter what time you arrived."
4855674,26836499,2015-02-20,7385804,Rosalie,"The apartment was beautiful, modern, clean and in walking distance to everything. It was on the ground floor so there was no need to lug our luggage up flights of stairs. I really liked that we didn't need to meet up with anyone to give me keys. That made things super simple and easy. Also, when I needed to get in touch with turnkey by phone or email, I got a response fairly quickly. 
Only two negatives: First, Turnkey never sent me an email with all of the info about the apartment, including the building gate code and the actual code to get into the apartment. I called them when I arrived in Austin and that is when they sent me an email with the apartment code but not the wifi or building gate code. I didn't realize how necessary the building gate code was until I came back to the apartment late at night and the building gate was locked. 
Second, the wifi never worked. 
Other than that, the apartment was great and I would recommend staying there to anyone. "
4855674,26984395,2015-02-23,25696749,Brandon,"This place is absolutely gorgeous and was perfect for the group of 7 we had in Austin this past weekend.  Everything we needed from toiletries to plates and glassware were provided, the beds were cozy and the showers had some of the best water pressure I've ever experienced.   the people at turnkey were also very friendly and everything was as they said it would be.   My issue has to do with some of the people on the property.  Over the course of the weekend we were called about 5 noise violations most of which were because we left a TV on in the living room before going out on the town.   They list 10-10 as quiet hours and I can understand and respect that, but we received a phone call at 7:30 on a Friday night about our noise level.  It was to the point where we felt like we couldn't even converse with one another.   It is too bad because the location itself it 2 blocks from South Congress and 2 blocks from 6th street and was ideal for our group who got together to go out and enjoy the Austin nightlife.   If you are looking to have a social weekend, I would not recommend this place because you will be called for a noise violation.  On Friday night I had to tell a lady at TurnKey about how outrageous these complaints were.    On top of that Thursday, Friday and Saturday night you could hear noisy college kids leaving the bar district from our windows.  I'm not complaining about that, in fact we were expecting that, but to not be able to listen to music in the living room at a reasonable noise, catch up with old friends from out of town and enjoy a few beers in our living room without being called by turnkey really was the ONLY issue with this place.   I also understand TurnKey is just doing their job so I don't blame them for this, but beware before you book that you have to keep quiet if you are staying at this place"
4855674,27461192,2015-03-05,22324698,Laura,"Wonderful location and property. The condo is brand new appearing, the kitchen is excellent, and the beds and bathrooms comfortable.  we had 4-5 people staying for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect for the convention center and everything downtown. Access to the condo was very smooth as the directions were detailed. The building is very strict on noise. Do not congregate outside after 10!"
4855674,27829817,2015-03-13,25542040,Todd,"Erica and TurnKey did a fantastic job! The condo was in wonderful shape, and very comfortable. We slept 7 all week with no issues at all. The beds were SO comfortable. There wasn't an option to check in early or leave a little late, but it was based on the fact that this condo was very popular!

We had a great time in Austin, and it's so convenient to so many things downtown!

We would recommend this condo to anyone looking! Great job Erica and Turnkey! We had a fantastic experience. 

Thanks, 
The Paxton Group, Keller Williams Realty "
4855674,29262959,2015-04-06,17083102,Ted,"As they say: location, location, location.  This condo was perfectly situated just a few short blocks from 6th street, congress street, and the state Capitol. It was the perfect central location for a weekend away in Austin.  

Beyond the location perk, this apartment was spotless and clean upon our arrival. Our host made it especially easy to check in and check out and is flexible on timing (within reason and if possible). We would certainly stay here again!"
4855674,30100012,2015-04-17,1138056,Emil,"Great place. Enjoyed my stay. The host made it a extremely easy on arrival by sending detailed access instructions, wifi settings, and parking info ahead of time.

The beds were comfortable, the washer/dryer were fantastic, the climate control was very well set up, and the kitchen was great."
4855674,31324433,2015-05-04,27075182,Jessica,"Renting this condo was a great experience overall. The place was very nice and clean and had a lot of basic amenities already there for us. It was exactly as described and very roomy for 8-9 ladies to spend a weekend in. Excellent location! We walked all weekend. No issue with noise complaints or anything like others had. We were respectful of the quiet hours but still hung out playing games and laughing until the wee hours of the morning. 

The only drawback was parking in the area, but that is definitely not their fault. That's a general rule in Austin. 
We also had a very poor encounter with someone who must have lived there. Because of the parking situation, we had one girl pull into the gated parking area to unload all of her and several others' stuff. He pulled up and yelled at her to move her car immediately unless she had a specific parking space there. We had the first car in the space provided for us. It was very rude, but fortunately we had enough people out helping her to grab it in one trip so she could move. His car was only there for about 5 minutes and then gone the entire rest of the weekend. 

Other than that one encounter, it was a great weekend. All of the other people we met in the complex were excellent and friendly. "
4855674,31889107,2015-05-11,29050812,Nadine,"It was nice to arrive to a place that looked exactly like the pictures. Check in and check out process was very simple. The place was exceptional. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The location was perfect. We were able to walk to all the bars and restaurants. I highly recommend this location. "

4855674,36281169,2015-06-27,31781754,Matthew,"The apartment is 5 minutes away from the main street of Texas (6th) but there are surrounding restaurants and bars in other directions as well. The apartment is very new and clean with a community pool just outside. The apartment is street level so we kept out blinds down. We didn't have to deal face to face with the host but did call and the service was very helpful. Overall good apartment, good location and good service. Would stay here again"
4855674,36652553,2015-06-30,11037694,Nina,"5 stars!!! The apartment was perfect for my stay in Austin, TX. Erica was more than accommodating, letting me and my group have late checkout. It was also wonderful not having keys to the apartment - we had easy access in and out with a code on the door. The entire apartment had the latest amenities, full kitchen with cooking supplies and table settings, and beautiful furniture and bedding. "
4855674,37454662,2015-07-07,7188847,Moon,"Great Stay in Austin! Place was neat and clean when we arrived and the team was super accommodating and helpful. Had a slight mishap with the garage opener but people at the complex were able to assist. 

Would definitely stay again! Love Austin! "
4855674,38630936,2015-07-17,36570818,Mike,"This condo was central to everything we needed. It's walking distance to nightlife, coffee shops, restaurants, major hotels, the conference center, etc. The photos tell the true story...it's just a cool place that's very clean. Keller Williams folks coming in town...it's also directly across the street from the Marriott Courtyard that's one of the bus stops for taking everyone to the training center. It's perfect."
4855674,38814251,2015-07-19,27716853,Andrew,"The unit was perfectly clean and very nicely furnished.  Great location walking distance to many downtown attractions.

Initially had an issue with the parking remote being programmed with an incorrect code but it was resolved quickly after a call to Turnkey."
4855674,43072751,2015-08-17,3747843,Amit,"This location was perfect for our group! Plent of space, very clean, great location, and plenty of bed space for everyone to have a place to sleep! Communicating with the owners and their representatives was very quick and easy. Would definitely recommend for a group and for people who want to have a great central location!"
4855674,46863587,2015-09-14,16923503,Jessica,"Had a wonderful stay - couldn't believe how central the location was to other major hotels, bars, and restaurants.  Would have loved a later checkout, but otherwise a great location, layout, and aesthetic! "
4855674,47217328,2015-09-16,338961,Edward,Everything was as described and efficient.  It was great for our business trip and we will likely return in the further.  Thanks!
4855674,47608911,2015-09-21,27748246,Stephanie,"The location and condition of this condo was perfect for our group.  We attended a conference at the Conference Center and we were the envy of all of the other attendees who were getting off of their bus transportation to and from their hotels!  So easy.  
It was a great neighborhood with several bars and restaurants to choose from and it felt safe to walk around alone during the day back and forth from the conference.
Everything was as the pictures and description describe and we had no problems with the booking, check in or check out.
It was a four out of five star rating on the cleanliness which was great for the most part and I am very particular about that aspect.
The noise machine was great to drown out the traffic and voices outside.
There was not time to actually use the pool or cook at the condo, but having the living area to congregate after a long day with a glass of wine was fantastic.
There was a pretty good stock of dishes, but for a condo that sleeps eight, eight coffee cups would be suggested.
Having detergent for a mid stay towel washing and dish soap and toilet paper provided was great - thank you!
We were conscientious and never found the noise restrictions to be a problem so hoping that is the residents' opinions as well.
If I had a conference in Austin again, I would stay here in a heartbeat!"
4855674,49119771,2015-10-01,33863773,Kathryn,This was a great apartment for 6 girls.  There was plenty of room and it was conveniently located. It was very clean as well.  I would definitely come back and stay here again. 
5386336,27034906,2015-02-23,17737046,Roy,Nate's place is exactly as described. Quiet neighborhood in a great part of Austin. We absolutely loved out stay and will definitely be requesting Nate's studio for future visits to Austin.
5386336,28132255,2015-03-18,6290852,Riaz,"Nate has a great place in a very convenient Austin neighborhood, and is a terrific host to boot.  The studio was exactly as advertised and kept very clean.  It is well appointed, livable and feels larger than it probably is.  Nate was communicative and thoughtful in every way, down to putting free toiletry kits in the bathroom.  I liked the fact that there was no physical key but just a combination door lock.  I stayed in the studio during SxSW and was delighted with how easy it is to get downtown - its a nice neighborhood and I was able to walk to the convention center when I had the time.  I was grateful that Nate, unlike many AirBnb hosts, did not try to take advantage of the situation by boosting rates significantly.  I will certainly stay at Nate's place the next time I am in Austin."
5386336,36780249,2015-07-01,21890257,Darci,"Nate's studio in Austin was perfect! My husband and I stayed here for the entire month of June, and we loved it. The place was very clean and fully stocked with towels, kitchen essentials, blankets, pillows, soaps, etc. My husband works from home, and the wifi worked perfectly for him the whole month. The tv is giant and set up for Netflix and Hulu. The neighborhood was nice and quiet, but close to everything you need. One of the neighbors did get a little loud a few times in the middle of the night, but it wasn't consistent and never lasted too long. I loved that this was a pet-friendly place because we bring our dog with us everywhere. Nate was very easy to work with and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this studio to friends. Thanks!"
5386336,37807458,2015-07-10,31756993,Jessica,"My husband, dog, and I stayed at Nate's studio for 3 nights and it was exactly as described! The studio was clean, parking and getting from the studio to downtown was super easy.  We really appreciated being able to have our dog with us! The internet was fast and having Netflix on the TV was really awesome!

Nate is really nice and communication about the studio was good! We'd definitely look to stay at Nate's place again if we come back to Austin!"
5386336,39319014,2015-07-22,6051246,Kelly,"Nate's place was perfect! Clean, comfy, and a really great shower!! Not to mention the neighborhood is quiet and bike-able. Nate had some guests before us that left the place a mess, and I appreciate that Nate was transparent and let us know ahead of time. Of course, everything was perfect when we arrived, but it's hosts like Nate who make Air Bnb a step up from run of the mill hotel stays. Thanks for letting us extend our stay and being so honest!! Would definitely stay here again!"
5386336,40923448,2015-08-03,35301892,Joy,"Nate's place was ideal for my family's needs while in Austin. We stayed at the end of July/early Aug for 3 nights and enjoyed the place. It is centrally located and easy access to the university where my daughter attended a summer dance intensive in July 2015. The place was indeed cozy and my family (husband, son & daughter) felt very much at home. My husband & I loved that we were able to do our daily 5 mile walk in the neighborhood. The big plus was the TV with Netflix! We would definitely stay again at Nate's place if we were in Austin again!

The space - very cozy and loved having a full kitchen where we were able to make our own breakfast. Felt very at home! 

"
5386336,42826030,2015-08-16,6902272,Becca,"Nate's place was a great apartment to stay in for our last week in Austin. It was an easy drive to downtown, to the grocery store, and was stocked with everything we needed. We loved the big couch and TV and would definitely recommend this space to anyone else staying in Austin. "
5386336,44134496,2015-08-24,16861653,Katherine,"Clean,cozy, and close to everything. It was so quiet and peaceful at Nate's place. We really felt at home. We went all over and never had to drive more then 20 minutes to our destination. This was our first time in Austin and I'm so glad that with all of our choices we chose this place. Easy parking was a huge plus for us!!! The bed was extremely comfortable and the shower was awesome. It also smelled really nice when we walked in. We will be back!"
5386336,48448780,2015-09-26,44133131,Catrina,"My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Nate's studio. The location is extremely convenient and made it easy to get to Congress, Lamar, Barton Springs among other Austin sites. It's also close to good restaurants. The studio was clean, had all the amenities (even toiletries and extra towels) we needed and best part: dog friendly! The reservation process was easy; Nate was accommodating to a last minute change and had great communication! We recommend this listing and look forward to staying here again future Austin visits! "
5386336,49761037,2015-10-06,32761160,Maria,It was a great place to live in gor a couple of days. Everything was clean. The code lock door was convenient that we didnt had to get keys and all that stuff. 
5386336,51056317,2015-10-17,44182586,Daniela,"Nate's place was great for the three of us. It wasn't too far from downtown or other areas of interest since we had a car. Place was well equipped for all our needs. Clean, comfortable and Nate thought of everything (even had travel toothbrushes). Easy parking too! I'd use it again if I'm in Austin. "
5386336,51135254,2015-10-18,461362,Helene,"The correspondence with Nate was excellent. The property was as described and met my needs for a comfortable, well stocked, nice location with parking. I would recommend to anyone coming into town and looking for a little retreat. "
5386336,51891986,2015-10-25,27334854,Soo,"Cosy and comfortable space, hulu tv was a great plus. Nate was very quick to respond to questions. "

356837,1173207,2012-04-23,73817,Ruth,"Varun was really professional, flexible on arrival/departure times and overall, very easygoing. The room was neat and the bed was very comfortable. I appreciated having a private bathroom connected to the top bedroom. It was nice having convenient parking and the location was centrally located for my meetings in Austin. Thanks, Varun - you were a great host! "
356837,8682321,2013-11-11,7525581,Freda,Varun was a very hospitable and welcoming host! He was responsive to our questions and gave us wonderful suggestions for activities and restaurants. His home was clean and comfortable and he made it a priority to make us feel at home. I would highly recommend you stay with Varun for your next trip in Austin! 
356837,10397813,2014-02-17,11721017,Ewa,"We had great time at Varun's place in Austin. He made us feel home, was very hospitable and helpful, starting with picking us up from the airport. He's apartment was very tidy and sunny. We feel very thankful for hosting us and recommending Varun's place as a perfect spot to stay in Austin!"
356837,10919684,2014-03-13,5898594,Bruno,"Varun is an amazing host, and his house his humble and very comfortable castle. 

Our stay in Austin – during SxSW – could not have been better. He made all kind of efforts for us and we only had to worry about our busy day. 

I must point out the fact that the house is very well located and it was very easy to get around during the festival. The room is clean, the bed is large, the bathroom has a great shower and there are lots of place to put your stuff. 

And above all, it has privacy. "
356837,11786770,2014-04-14,14202490,Andrea,Varun was such a great host. The room was very nice and it was very convenient having a bathroom in the room as well. We felt very welcomed and at home. The town home was very cleaning and decorated nicely. It was mine and my boyfriends first time using air bnb and it was a very great experience. We unfortunately waited till the last minute to book a room and every hotel in Austin was completely booked. Varun was a life saver and responded back to us in such a quick time. We definitely recommend Varun's town home if visiting Austin. 
356837,28080983,2015-03-17,27315804,Matthew,"Varun was a great host and it was a nice touch for our group to arrive to a stocked fridge of water, snacks and beer / wine.  His place is in a handy location for events like sxsw, 10-15mins walking distance to most locations or a 5min lyft / uber.  However, Varun's dog lives at the house and whilst it wasn't there during our stay, there was a lot of dog hair in the living area and bedrooms, which a few our party were allergic to.  Just something to be aware of, but if you don't mind that, then the house was convenient for sxsw and Varun is a generous and trustworthy host."
648202,4716874,2013-05-21,5853368,Ben,"I had a great experience with this place and the owner, Craig. He was very good about communication throughout the experience and provided some really solid recommendations for local places to eat and what to avoid. 

We had a relatively large group of seven guys and the apartment actually accommodated us pretty well. Each of the beds in the bedrooms were very comfortable and the pull out couch in the living room is no joke (think memory foam rather than uncomfortable bar in the back...)! The house was very clean and well maintained.

The location of the place is within striking distance of downtown but removed enough to be quiet at night.  Parking on the street was ample at all times.

If I'm back in town with friends I'd definitely consider staying here again.  "
648202,5624555,2013-07-08,7157764,Mazen,"I spent 2 nights at this place along with 5 of my friends, and we all enjoyed our stay very much. The house is very spacious (easily accommodated the 6 of us), was very clean, and offered some great amenities (including a grill on the back deck). The location was perfect for our trip - conveniently close to UT and plenty of food options, yet still in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of parking was always available.

Craig was a very accommodating and friendly host. He was flexible about check-in/check-out timing, and welcomed questions before and during our stay.

All in all, our group was very happy with the experience, and we would definitely choose to stay at this location next time we visit Austin. Highly recommended."
648202,7008849,2013-09-03,6887149,Matthew,"I visited Craig's house along with a group of 6 other guys for a reunion. We had a great time- the house is very well put together and features good furniture, a great porch, and a very nice entertainment system. It might be a little out of the way for those who want to spend a lot of time downtown, but we had an easy enough time getting around with cabs or the 1M bus. Craig was very accommodating and available. I recommend this house to anyone who wants a nice, comfortable place to stay while visiting Austin."
648202,8409344,2013-10-29,8961867,Andreas,"Great house, great location and even better host.  We have already recommended this house to friends and family and will definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin."

648202,9098763,2013-12-07,520763,Ron,"Craig is an incredibly warm, welcoming & responsive host. You will get all the support and assistance you need to make your stay really comfortable. The place is really attractive, open, spacious, bright, and very clean and comfy. Great location. You can walk to some very cool restaurants and shops.Overall, one of the best airbnb experiences we've had to-date."
648202,9382883,2013-12-25,2559221,Rebecca,"Cute neighborhood, clean and cozy house, and a very friendly host! Thank you Craig for being so accommodating near the holidays & for recommending restaurants, etc.! Highly recommend this spot, especially if you will have a car with you during your stay in Austin!"
648202,10267901,2014-02-10,5958448,Adrienne,"Very nice home and beautifully furnished.  Very cozy.  I wish there was some parking that wasn't on the street because one night, there were many cars on the street so it was a little hard to find a place to park.  Craig was very nice, accommodating, and quick to respond to questions.  "
648202,10713048,2014-03-04,9902448,Ben (Benjamin),"We stayed four nights in Craig Carter's house four nights, my wife and I , my daughter and her husband and my other daughter and grand daughter . One night two additional members of the family stayed with us. The house was very comfortable, afforded both privacy and sociability. We cooked our dinners and breakfasts. One day we had 20 family and friends in the house to watch family dvd's . The occasion was my grandson's wedding and we came from all corners of the US and world. The location of the house is in a lovely quiet street. I highly recommend the place. Craig was always helpful with advice.
"
648202,10791995,2014-03-08,998479,Gretchen,"This little Austin cottage was perfect for us. We had a group of 3 people staying for SXSW. Everything was just as it looked in the photos - the house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. 

Craig was also very easy to communicate with. And he offered lots of tips, including bus routes -- which was very helpful! "
648202,11000024,2014-03-17,4712676,Kerry,"We had a great stay at Craig's house during SXSW.  The house was clean, comfy, and had plenty of room for our group.  And the front porch and back patio are perfect for lounging.  As advertised, the house is close to the bus stops and it was easy to get back and forth to downtown.  Craig was a great host and easy to reach.  Trust him when he suggests that you go to Taco Deli---amazing!  Thanks, Craig for an amazing weekend!"
648202,11238763,2014-03-26,400984,Marilyn,"Hyde park is a great area of Austin.  The neighborhood was quiet and close to restaurants and grocery.  Easy access to downtown by car or bus.  The house was lovely, clean and well supplied.  We 8 girls really enjoyed our stay."
648202,11328152,2014-03-30,12567525,Richard,Craig was a great host.  We enjoyed the trip and would stay here again.
648202,11798943,2014-04-15,6083669,Chris,"Craig has a super cool place that puts you right in the mix of things in Austin with plenty of space to relax when you're back from your event. Several grocery stores are close as well as a handful of amazing restaurants with fantastic tasting menus. Craig's place is a 10 minute walk to a great place for coffee (Houndstooth). 
No public transportation yet from Austin to COTA for MotoGP but Craig's place is only about a 25 minute car ride to the track. 
Craig appears to be very laid back and also very accommodating. 
Thanks for everything, Craig"
648202,12336484,2014-04-29,12925724,Sharon,"A great house in a very quiet neighborhood.  ....A short drive from the airport and downtown.  Craig was a terrific host answering  questions and very available.  Love the outdoor lights which identified the house at night.  7 adults and a two year old enjoyed the decks, the expansive interior and the comfy beds.  We had a hard time returning to 40 degree weather and took all the time we could on the decks....we definitely want to come back....thanks Craig."
648202,13172939,2014-05-21,8574733,Mario,"If you’re deciding between this house and another one, choose this
one. You won’t regret it. Craig is a fantastic host and the house
is awesome. When we arrived, the fridge was full of beer that Craig
ASKED us to take care of. Of course we were happy to
help!


First, Craig is very easy to reach and more than willing to help in
any way that he can to make your time in Austin as carefree and fun
as possible. Ask him for restaurant recommendations, activities, or
where and what to do. We are familiar with Austin, so didn’t need
to ask, but we felt very comfortable doing so if we needed
it!


Second, the house is nice. It's comfortable, welcoming, decked out
in whatever you could need, and in a great location. We had 6
people stay and during the day had about 9 over for a BBQ (thanks
Craig for supplying a margarita machine!). Because we had family
coming from all over the globe, we spent time just hanging out and
catching up; the house was really perfect for this. Some of us were
inside, on the front on the porch, or outside on the back deck. The
flow of the house fit exactly what we wanted.


The amenities all worked perfectly (A/C, stove, oven, grill,
fridge, etc.). The dishwasher is new (and powerful!) and 2 wine
glasses were accidentally broken while it was running. Craig was so
nice about it and even joked that it’s a good sign that the new
dishwasher packs that extra punch! ha! Overall, we had a wonderful
stay and I would call Craig up in a heartbeat to rent out the house
again.



Thanks again Craig!


-Mario & Kathleen"
648202,13410882,2014-05-27,9358865,Jillian,"Craig was a great host, and very thoughtful! The house was clean, well-kept, and perfect for my family, who stayed in Austin for the weekend of my wedding. They loved the neighborhood - very quiet, central, and easy to get around town. Craig was very sweet, and even left some of his delicious home-brewed beer in the fridge for us to sample. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Austin. Thanks, Craig!!!"
648202,14710737,2014-06-24,2794541,Ed,"Very nice, well appointed house. 3 large bedrooms and newly renovated.
The neighborhood was moderately interesting. Walking distance to a few shops (coffee, baked goods, small grocer).  Austin is a young, chic town so lots of fun, esp eating and drinking. "
648202,15628457,2014-07-13,12926993,Matt,"Craig has an awesome house in a great neighbourhood, easy walking distance from some great spots (top pick: Hopfields). The house is clean and quiet, and was perfect for us — three guys needing a home base for a week while attending a conference at the UT conference centre. Craig was on hand (though we didn't need him), friendly, and helpful. Highly recommended!"

Craig was extremely easy to work with and getting in/out of the house was a breeze. 

Just south of campus, close to grocery stores and restaurants. 

Overall we really enjoyed our first Airbnb experience and will certainly do it again if visiting Austin. "

648202,18702072,2014-08-31,11185950,Stacie,What a great weekend!  Craig has a great house and our first air b&b experience was great!  Thanks for everything!
648202,19174414,2014-09-07,20843513,Roxanne,"LOVED the house.  Loved the location.  It was just as it appeared on the site, but better.  Super updated and CLEAN and welcoming (loved the little city guides).  Craig responds extra-quickly, which is awesome.  We fit 9 people in the house comfortably, hung out on the front & back porch ALL wknd, it's ridiculously convenient to all things UT related.  Stocked kitchen but with plenty of space to keep our own stuff.  Just... super awesome.  Thanks for a great casa, and a great/laid-back virtual host.  Definitely hoping to come back. Oh.. and COMFY BEDS!!!"
648202,19941964,2014-09-21,15129330,Ryan,"The home is exactly as described by the host and pictures, except better.  Our group could not have asked for a better experience.  This is a wonderfully restored craftsman-style home in the historical Hyde Park area of Austin, which provides a good flavor for the city.  The home is walkable or a short drive/cab/Uber to many things, yet the neighborhood is insulated enough that you can feel comfortable staying at the house.  There are many amenities included -- at no cost -- that are not typical, such as a very well-stocked kitchen, a large assortment of leftover adult beverages, washer/dryer including soap, stocked bathrooms, AT&T U-verse, etc.  The check-in/out process was very simple and Craig was as available as needed.  We loved this home so much, we would definitely consider returning for a future trip."
648202,20458518,2014-09-29,21385693,Jimmy,"Craig was real easy to work with.  He had everything ready for our arrival. Place was spotless with lots of amenities (towers, sheets, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, etc...).  House was roomy enough for 7 and there were even extra aero mattress to accommodate more.  Location was in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything.  Craig also provided us recommendations and did not bother us during our stay."
648202,20809956,2014-10-06,13858266,Kelli,"Absolutely fabulous!!  Great house, great location, great host!  He pays attention to the little things.... towels smelled wonderful, blankets are soft, clean and excellent quality, good coffee maker, TV, etc.  All of the things you would want in your own home.  He gave us the inside scoop on all of the local places to go, fastest way to get around, answered all of our questions and even some we hadn't thought to ask.  When I am in Austin again, this is where I will stay."

648202,21869821,2014-10-26,7861640,Jamie,"Everything was flawless during our stay! The house was easy to find, within walking distance of Central Market, Walgreens, a great little coffee shop, and more. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming. The house was incredibly clean, decorated with character, and fit the six of us comfortably with room to spare. One of the group members couldn't get over how comfortable the bed was, and actually checked the label on the sheets because she wanted to buy some for herself! Checking in an out was a breeze, and I greatly appreciated Craig letting us store our luggage at the house after check-out so we could run around town some more before our late flight. The whole group couldn't have been happier with the experience. Thanks Craig!"
648202,22289580,2014-11-03,17266510,Andrew,"This was the best first Airbnb exprence I could of asked for. Craig was the best host. He quickly responded to every question I had and was happy to answer them. The house was beautiful with all the amenities you could ask for. We had 6 guys and slept very comfortably, never felt crowded. The neighborhood was quiet and very nice. It was a cheap uber ride to everywhere in Austin we wanted to go. "
648202,28043927,2015-03-16,3198682,Jonathan,"Craig was an excellent host.  Everything was ready to go on our arrival, Craig was flexible with a late checkout, and available via text throughout our stay.

The house is perfect for a small group- enjoyable outdoor space on the porch and a spacious backyard. The house was clean and included all the extras (hairdryer, iron, extra soap, etc.)  Even the pull out bed was comfortable.

Would recommend and stay again."
648202,28866850,2015-03-31,9544097,Allison,Everything about our stay at the house was amazing! We were seven girls taking a long awaited trip to Austin for the first time and the house suited our needs perfectly - so cozy! The beds were super comfortable as was the couch! We loved our mornings spent drinking coffee on the front porch and evenings hanging outside on the back porch. The neighborhood was very quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Would suggest having a car if you're going to spend time in all parts of Austin. Craig was always available to answer any questions we had - we would stay in the house again in a heart beat!
648202,29207224,2015-04-05,29486832,Nik,"Awesome place to stay! Craig is helpful, nice, and made everything convenient for our stay. Loved the place, and has everything you need. Down a quiet street off of 41st, I would recommend to stay here to anyone. Not too far from downtown, East 6th, or Rainey St. if you're looking for places to hangout."
648202,29729819,2015-04-12,4719023,Cara,We had a great stay at Craig's cottage in Hyde Park. Place was very well stocked and quite clean and Craig was available for questions and even came over to replace a burned out lightbulb. Would stay again! 
648202,31306276,2015-05-04,12431752,Elda,"Craig's house was perfect and cozy. We loved it! It was very clean and spacious. The house has everything you need. Pillows, blankets, an air mattress and towels. My favorite place to hangout was the front porch, it has 2 rocking chairs. It was very relaxing sitting out front.  The house is in a great location, great restaurants and bars. Craig was available if we had any questions or request. My family and I would defiantly recommend his house to all our friends and family's. "
648202,32964145,2015-05-24,21150650,Bill,Great house - great neighborhood - great host!  (Fun city too...)
648202,33657343,2015-05-31,8872959,Rachel,"Our stay at Craig's house couldn't have been nicer.  It was a wonderful place to stage our family's gathering for a wedding.  The house was clean, well equipped, nicely decorated and a great place for all of us to base out of.  It is in a great central location and in a very quiet neighborhood.  We used the large deck in the back for many meals.  Craig could not have been more attentive as our host and using his list of things to do, places to dine, we found places we might not have otherwise.  Thanks for your hospitality Craig!"
648202,34280332,2015-06-07,27071000,Sally,"We had a wonderful stay at Craig's house!  We rented the house for a bachelorette party and it was perfect!  The house was spacious, clean and in a great location.  Craig was quick to answer any questions and available through text throughout our stay.  We also enjoyed his extensive koozie stash!"
648202,34951409,2015-06-14,30863304,Mary,"Great Host, made us feel right at home. The house is what I expected from the description, updated and every well maintained. This house is in a very nice area of Austin, lots of conveniences within walking distance. Loved hanging out on the front porch.
Thanks Craig, my family and I had a really weekend at your place. "
648202,35639592,2015-06-21,22242456,John,This house is in a fantastic location. The arrangement for the key collection worked like a dream. Craig kept in constant contact. The house surpassed our expectations. It was in a beautiful location and close to all amenities which Craig kindly listed for us. Most importantly the house facilities was as described
648202,45043061,2015-08-30,42721446,Abe,"The house was even better in person. Craig kept in contact with us before and after. Everything was set and ready to go. Great house. Great location. If you're looking for a weekend getaway, this is a great place. Will definitely be in touch to revisit soon. Thanks Craig!"
648202,48525424,2015-09-27,5607586,Catherine,Great house in a great location! House description matches reality very well and Craig was very easy to work with.
648202,49660095,2015-10-05,7484167,Gibran,Craig and his home are fantastic!  Accomodations for ACL could not have been any better for the price.  I am so glad we chose to stay at his home and would definitely stay again when visiting Austin!
648202,50288935,2015-10-11,41212241,Jordan,"This house was everything that was advertised and more.  Craig communicated great, was very helpful, and very thoughtful about everything.  We were 7 guys on a barbecue-eating trip and this house fit us all very comfortably even after all that barbecue.  The beds were super comfortable, the air-conditioning worked great, the front and back porch were both great.  We all agreed that we would stay here again."
648202,52489339,2015-10-30,9998065,Genevieve,"Craig's Cottage was lovely. It's right in the heart of Hyde Park with great shops and restaurants all within walking distance. All the bedrooms were very clean and comfortable - perfect for our group with plenty of room to spare. 

Craig was very responsive via email and through messaging. He was flexible with our check in process and, when there was a flash flood when we were supposed to leave, he was very easy to get a hold of and flexible with the check out process.  

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a place in Austin! "
648202,53270754,2015-11-07,9017673,Rob,"Had a great experience staying in Craig's house. It was beautiful and just as described, great location in Austin too. Great communication with Craig. Will definitely stay again!"
6003559,50452987,2015-10-12,27071540,Julia,Winnie was a great host and we had an easy experience staying with her and her roommates. We were able to come and go as we pleased. I also LOVED the tempurpedic mattress. Huge plus! We were grateful for her hospitality for the weekend. 
6003559,50911530,2015-10-15,26415725,Britney,The host canceled this reservation 22 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6003559,52049973,2015-10-26,20704013,J,"Winnie and her roommate were very friendly, and they contacted me ahead to make sure we would be able to get into apartment as soon as possible. Thank you Winnie and your roommate! "
6003559,52908998,2015-11-02,47056421,Mairéad,"Winnie was very generous and helpful! It was flooding when we drove in and she stayed in touch about our arrival time, told us the website to check for road closures, and offered us a covered parking spot above street level. She also told us about local events AND invited us to a house party. We only saw her once after the night we arrived, but she responded to texts.
The room has cool lamps. The sheets were heavenly soft. The bathroom was spacious and almost always free. 
I didn't read about the 5 cats beforehand, but they were friendly! One was a noisy breather, but we didn't see him much after the first night. Just a few fur balls in the corner of our room, but it was easy to get rid of.
Plus I left something important at Winnie's house and she offered to ship it to me. Great experience!"
359976,10943290,2014-03-14,1121837,Anthony,Thanks for letting me stay for sxsw. 
2174970,20718094,2014-10-04,11349,Alexandria,"What an incredible gem this place is! The space is thoughtfully designed for comfort and filled with quirky and whimsical vintage finds. That's a tough combination to pull off!
There is enough space to fit lots of people and we felt as though we all had plenty of space and privacy.
The deck is way bigger than it looks in the photos and the view is spectacular. 
The location was perfect as well. Easy walking distance to downtown and E. 6th St. and surrounded by great bars, restaurants and coffee.
"
2174970,21531143,2014-10-19,21406571,Daniel,"The house was perfect for our group, and we would definitely stay again. We had 6 guys staying there as part of a much larger bachelor party. Everyone got a bed, and there was plenty of space both inside and out for the larger group to gather. The outdoor space is amazing and ended up being the highlight for us as the weather was perfect. The neighborhood was great too. Plenty of great places to eat and get coffee within walking distance, and it was super easy to get an uber or pedicab to and from the bars. Justin and Becca were very easy to deal with, and they even provided a couple six packs of local beer as a nice welcome gesture. I would definitely stay here again. "
2174970,22308848,2014-11-03,17259520,Gemma,"The house is amazing, with a lot of space, with a very original deco and with a great patio and terrace. thank you so much for your hospitality!!"
2174970,22586889,2014-11-10,13522310,Dan,"Amazing house and hosts! The location is fantastic - tons of great food and bars super close by.  The selection of local beers in the fridge made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived. The decor of the house is super unique, there was plenty of room for our large group to sleep, and the patio on the roof is awesome! Unfortunately we weren't able to meet Justin or Becca, but the house was stocked with everything we needed and we really didn't have any issues."
2174970,22833602,2014-11-16,13251816,Hillary,"This house and location are absolutely breathtaking! We had a bachelorette weekend in Austin, and although the city is incredible, we spent the majority of the two days in the house because it is so amazing!! It is intricately designed and each and every room and inch of the house is filled with character! There isn't one thing I would change about it! We were all blown away at not only the perfect house, but how wonderful both Justin and Becca are! They are the sweetest and greatest hosts and I couldn't dream of a more perfect couple or house to have stayed in!! Everything was absolutely amazing!!!"
2174970,23069949,2014-11-22,713079,Lane,"WHAT an astounding home. There were seven of us in town for a conference at the Austin Convention Center, just a short five minute walk away, and we had an amazing time.

Justin and Becca were impeccable hosts: They left beer in the fridge, they made sure the wifi worked, and there was nothing we lacked. 

Also, the house is even better in person than it is in the pictures. They have impeccable taste. Definitely stay here. "
2174970,23718995,2014-12-08,583216,Oscar,"Exceptional. Right in a cool authentic local area of Austin. Very eclectic house, fun and personal. "
2174970,23908139,2014-12-14,23869926,Abby,"Flying in from San Francisco, Denver and Chicago, we (nine of us) had never been to Austin before but were excited about the reputation it had of being eclectic, unique and full of southern charm.  This house and these hosts were full of exactly that.  We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Justin and Becca but felt like we had friends in the neighborhood (I joked with my friends that they were our secret admirers :) taking care of us and leaving things for us to make our trip everything we had imagined.  

It was my birthday weekend and we arrived to the sweetest note with champagne and a cheese/berry platter.  It welcomed us in the most charming way.  The coffee shop, Cenote, around the corner is stunning and just totally as amazing as the house itself.  La Barbecue is down the street and serves free beer as you wait in line  and listen to live bands play.  Rainey Street and 6th Street were as cool as ever and completely walkable (even in heels!).      

It was the most perfect house for the most perfect weekend, hosted by the most perfect couple (that we never met but loved!).

Thank you Justin and Becca.  You have a house and a charm that left us with memories we'll never forget."
2174970,24153981,2014-12-21,3884813,Alice,"Justin and Rebecca were responsive and made sure we could get into the house easily on our check-in date, and had set the house up beautifully for our arrival. They left some nice treats (beer) for us in the fridge, and their quirky and fun decor made for some good exploring with the kiddos. The upstairs deck area and inside loft was everyone's favorite. (Note: that area is ok for kids 5 and up if closely supervised, but the spiral staircase, upstairs rails, and upper deck aren't the best for littler ones.)

There was a food truck lot right by the house, and a cute little cafe too. It was easy to get to and from SoCo and the downtown area from the house (driving). The neighborhood has a mix of houses (some well-kept and cool, and others not so much), and some regular car traffic (not heavy by any means); we felt fine there, but probably wouldn't recommend letting little kids cruise the neighborhood on their own. "
2174970,24676774,2015-01-01,15389948,Jon,"After seeing the pics and reading overwhelming positive reviews about this place and its owners, Justin and Becca, I made up my mind to rent it out for a few days to ring in 2015 with some of my friends. The house delivered! The experience was amazing for a group of 8, and then some!

We threw an early NYE house party Tuesday night and had around 12 or so people from Dallas, Houston, and Austin.  People moved freely between the kitchen area and the backyard where there was firepit. We are a group of mainly musicians / vocalists, so there were tons of singing and appreciation for the artistic elements of the place. The Alice Neel in the laundry room was both shocking and amazing. The adorable backyard stage calls for outdoor concerts (when the weather is more representative of Texas!).  A hot tub would have perfected our backyard experience!

The house felt lived-in so the vibe was exactly what I wanted: warm, inviting, and personal. The expensive-looking bathroom floor (made of pennies!) was among some of the really funky design features of the house. The claw-foot tubs were a treat, though somewhat unfamiliar to a few of our friends and were a little inconvenient when you want to jump in for a quick shower. The kitchen area was pretty spacious, though it could use a microwave, operating instructions for the stove and oven, and sharper knives :) 

The beds were comfortable. The heat didn't travel downstairs very well, but the house came with several space heaters that were definitely used! (Weather stripping on the door to the backyard may help better insulate the bedroom and house.) The upstairs is a kid's dream and an adult's oasis for late night conversations with close friends and family over a glass (or bottle) of wine. Coming and going upstairs was definitely easier for shorter folks :) Also, it was very nice to have use of the outdoor gas grill.

Overall our experience was super positive. The house provided us with enough space to move around  and co-exist without feeling claustrophobic or completely disconnected from the group. The location is close to everything, including the neighborhood coffee shop, which a few friends said was adorable. If you have a group of chill friends who want a really fun and funky place, check out this house. I can't imagine the loads of fun to be had in this house, on the upstairs outdoor deck, and in the backyard when the weather warms up! Thank you, Justin and Becca, for an experience we will never forget."
2174970,25513288,2015-01-18,25564668,Gloria,"I found Justin & Becca's beautiful home on Airbnb, after a frantic search to find a house that would accommodate 9 ladies for a destination Stagette. Several months previous, I had booked a home in East Downtown Austin, through a different rental website. I was so disappointed when they informed me that it was changing ownership & they weren't willing to honor the reservation. The second home I booked, through another agency, seemed ok... But then later it was brought to my attention that the total occupancy had been revised, & it would no longer sleep the 9 of us. -Thank goodness I found J&B's beautiful house through Airbnb! It was better than I could have imagined! -& Super close to where we wanted to be. 
*Everything happens for a reason. 
After submitting a request to book their home, (getting too close to the date for my own comfort) I was so excited to receive a personal message with their acceptance. -I had shown some of the girls the photos from this website, & our hopes were riding on a 'yes'. Everything seemed good to go! Upon arrival, walking into the home was a-mazing! Funky/Chic/Eclectic/Unique/Cozy/Vintage/ all around lovely. SO COOL! ..And we were welcomed by a handwritten note, offering local craft brews in the fridge & coffee beans ready for the grindin', & the French Press. Perfect! There were little treasures around every corner. It makes the house so interesting. They've definitely put a lot of heart into their home. Six beds, (3 large beds downstairs / 3 single beds upstairs) meant that the 9 of us were very comfortable. (-I slept better in the 'Key Room' bed than I do on my own mattress at home. Trade-sies?) ..Two full bathrooms & one water closet, meant that we all had lots of room to make ourselves beautiful before terrorizing the town. Walking to Sixth Street took all of 10 minutes. It was plenty close for short jaunts to the convenience store, or tons of Piñata places, if that's your thing! Ha!! -Cenote (the local java joint & cafe) is almost right across the street. So tasty! -& hangover convenient for a delicious breakfast or hearty smoothie. Justin & Becca were also available for every silly question we had. Very kind & close by to help out. ...Hullahoops in the backyard, a firepit with wood to burn, & a huge deck for everyone to relax on & enjoy the view of Downtown Austin. Absolutely gorgeous!

*Thank You guys SO MUCH for lending us your home. -& Thanks for being so down to earth. We had the most amazing time, all thanks to your lovely abode. I'll recommend it to every friend traveling your way. All the best to you!"
2174970,26461441,2015-02-13,273827,Beth,"Justin and Becca made this work trip easy and so much better than a hotel! My coworkers and I loved the space and the breath of home-like air at night. The beds are SUPER comfy, and the decor is just amazingly interesting. Always something new to see, and you can tell that they put a lot of time and effort into the remaking of this house. Really close to downtown Austin, and in the middle of everything that we needed to do, which made it the perfect location. "
2174970,26585448,2015-02-16,22483028,Kurt,"We had a great time staying at Justin & Becca's house on E. 2nd St.  There was a slight hiccup with the door code when we got there, but Becca got back to me right away and corrected it.  There was a welcome note there for us with all the info we needed, and some beers and food in the fridge we could help ourselves to.  

The neighborhood is a great one to stay in, it's very quiet and is walking distance to Rainey St., Dirty 6th, and E. 6th street (on the east side of the highway) which is more low-key but has great bars, music venues, and food trucks.  There's also a city bike station only a few blocks north of the house, and there were always Car2Go's in the neighborhood.  It's also 2 blocks from La Barbecue, which is the new Franklin, so if you want to get up early to wait in line it's very close by.

On top of all that the house was very comfortable and fun.  The roof deck is awesome, there's a fire pit in the backyard, and the beds (and even the couch!) made for a very comfortable night's sleep for the 7 of us.  Any more guests and we would have had to start doubling up on beds though.

We also learned on the last day of our stay that our flight home would be delayed by 3 hours, and Justin & Becca were kind enough to let us stay at the house past checkout instead of having to wait at the airport.  They were very reliable hosts and the listing delivered 100% on what it promised."
2174970,26905363,2015-02-22,23619223,Andrew,The house was so unique and the beds were super comfortable!!! They also left us a 6 pack and some eggs coffee and milk...So kind!!! Really one of my best Airbnb experiences yet! I had to leave at 6am so it was still dark...I hope I cleaned up more than I remember :( 
2174970,28696655,2015-03-29,20575802,Melissa,Justin and Becca were wonderful.  The place was amazing and they even left us a bottle of champagne to celebrate our arrival!  Everything went smoothly and they even let us keep our bags in the house after our checkout time so we could explore Austin sans bags before our evening flights.  Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us!
2174970,29155986,2015-04-05,3305055,Jennifer,The house was definitely spacious and decorated with quirky touches. We enjoyed breakfast on the terrace upstairs and the location was ideal.
2174970,29720909,2015-04-12,1835253,Lauren,"Justin and Rebecca's home was absolutely amazing! I had my bachelorette party here and all of the gals were completely enamored with the eclectic decor in the house. Probably the coolest house I've ever stepped into! The location is also fantastic - an awesome coffee shop/cafe/juice bar just a block away and it's just a few blocks from East 6th street bars and food trucks! Justin and Rebecca were great hosts, perfectly laid back and easy to communicate with through the rental process. I would highly recommend this house for an unforgettable Austin experience. Can't wait to come back someday!"
2174970,30182903,2015-04-19,16950619,Leah,"Justin & Becca were top notch hosts. Their communication leading up to our arrival was thorough and helpful, and they left drinks in the fridge for us, which was great because we arrived late at night. The house was exactly as it looks in the photos- very spacious, cool and eccentrically decorated (in the best way). Amazing backyard & patio, comfy beds, nice bathrooms, spacious kitchen/dining area, and lots of towels and anything else you might need. Very clean and you can tell they take a lot of pride in the house. The surrounding neighborhood had a bit of a sketchy feel, but was within walking distance of restaurants, food trucks etc and a short drive to everything we wanted to do while in town. I'd definitely recommend it, it's a great spot and perfect for anywhere from 5-9 people."
2174970,30752931,2015-04-27,3486015,Sarah,"I hosted a bachelorette weekend here and we had an amazing time. There were 8 of us and we were absolutely obsessed with this house! Every little detail and item is so thought out and designed. And we all slept more than comfortably. Such a perfect East Austin house. We were able to walk almost everywhere, including the fantastic coffee place around the corner, Cenote. 
I highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Austin. The location and house itself are incredible. "
2174970,31868531,2015-05-11,19855988,Jill,"Amazing! We were an eclectic group of 8 in town for a music festival. Everyone was completely blown away by Justin and Becca's place. The space is clean, comfy, spacious, and aesthetically awesome! We enjoyed the patio, the close proximity to coffee, restaurants, bars, and the ease with which we could get anywhere. Justin and Becca were great to communicate with, accommodating of our check in/out requests, and added several thoughtful touches. Champagne and fresh flowers, what?! So thrilled with our stay!"
2174970,32309959,2015-05-17,24004705,Elyse,"Excellent experience! Beautiful and fun home- it was perfect. The hosts were so great- responsive, left clear instructions and provided beverages for us! "
2174970,36359678,2015-06-28,6845547,Cj,"We immediately felt welcome with a very nice note and some goodies in fridge already. The hosts had left some beer and a bottle of champagne. The house very cool and nice. So many unique touches that made it great. Penny floor!!! Also slept nine of us comfortably. There were three smaller beds that pulled out of wall on ground (also cool) and one upstairs in the loft, and three bedrooms downstairs. Air conditioners worked well and kept the house a nice temperature on the very hot and humid weekend we visited.

Neighborhood at first seemed like not the best, but was also very cool and had some great places nearby. Scoot Inn is a great bar and live music venue a few blocks always. Cenote was a neat cafe and juice bars just two blocks away.

I highly recommend this house for a group looking for an adventure in Austin. Also renting bikes at Eastside Pedal Pushers is a must.

Thank you again!"
2174970,37136719,2015-07-05,19051608,Kate,"It was such a cute house and we really appreciate the gifts ;-)
The location was great as was the rooftop deck"
2174970,37948904,2015-07-12,542538,Lindsay,Such a creative and fun Austin house! Rebecca and Justin are so responsive and were very welcoming. This is a great space for a group and such a great location in downtown. I highly recommend this option and would love to stay again!
2174970,39724506,2015-07-26,12600637,Holly,"Justin & Becca's home was the ideal location for our bachelorette group. The house was charming, spacious, clean and tidy. Upon arrival we had two separate questions and the hosts responded via text promptly. There was no shortage of bath towels and bed linens. The deck in the evening was spectacular!
This space is a must for any group coming to Austin."
2174970,40938317,2015-08-03,2164018,Leslie,"A kitschy, cool, and a very stylish one-of-a-kind place with a great rooftop patio! This place was obviously meant to host large groups and one of the few places that could accommodate 6 individuals for separate beds! Justin and Becca were responsive in their communication."
2174970,41733943,2015-08-09,16975300,Tara,"Justin & Becca's home was truly one of the most beautiful & amazingly decorated homes I, or any of my girlfriends, have ever seen; & beyond accommodating! Anything & everything we could have needed or asked for was there for us to use.  We could not have asked for a better stay or chose a better home for our trip to Austin. They were such nice & gracious hosts, & even helped us when we couldn't get our girlfriends in the house while we were out to dinner one night. Truly, I would recommend this house to anyone & everyone. We were 13 girls, and just as other reviews have stated, there was more than enough room for all of us, never a gal without a bed (and insanely comfortable beds to boot), and never did any of us feel like our personal space was cramped upon or anything. Seriously, the perfect bachelorette house for the perfect bachelorette weekend, and the perfect trip to Austin. We did not want to leave! Thank you Justin & Becca!!! You & your home are what make AirBnB so special. "
2174970,43037132,2015-08-17,14207058,Kerry,"Justin & Becca were great with accommodating our flights with check in and check out times which definitely helped out…A LOT!  There were 9 girls of us total and we all slept comfortably with perfect amount of bath towels as well.  It was in a cute and upcoming neighborhood with lots of food trucks and some bars within walking distance.  Because of the heat, we usually just hopped in a $5-6 dollar Uber ride to downtown, which is more of the night life.

We were welcomed with some beer and a bottle of wine :).  The backyard and upstairs patio are awesome!  Great to just hang out in the sun and drink a bit before going out or after you come in.  Definitely recommend staying here!  We were all happy with our stay….and thats hard to say coming from 9 girls ;)    "
2174970,43620659,2015-08-21,17569131,Sarah,"This house is exactly how the pictures look only cuter! The decor was awesome, the space was perfect and the house was super clean! Justin and Becca were great communicators leading up to and throughout the entire stay. We had an event at the convention center and it was a great location for getting their easily! Would definitely stay again! "
2174970,43907642,2015-08-23,30724434,Nathan,"The house was great! it had plenty of space and beds to fit everyone staying in town for our bachelor party. Getting into the house was easy and the house is within reasonable walking distance to most of the popular places in Austin. Cenote, the cafe around the corner, was awesome and only took a minute to walk to. The backyard and deck area was huge and gave us plenty of space to grill out and play a few drinking games. The TV with the roku stick was great for when we needed to come in and take a rest from the heat."
2174970,45920925,2015-09-07,28008021,Adelana,We were in town for a bachelorette weekend and this house was perfect for it! The home was so adorable and clean. Justin and Becca left a welcoming note and were very helpful and quick to answer any questions that we had. The location was perfect - just a quick cab ride away from all of the fun bars and restaurants. Would definitely reccomend this home!
2174970,46690862,2015-09-13,4804881,Jessica,"We had the most incredible experience at this house. The house is decorated to perfection, literally every inch of the house.  We had so much fun in the space. Very comfortable sleeping arrangements and bathrooms + lovely hosts. Becca was so responsive and answered all of our questions instantly over text. They even stocked the kitchen. I will absolutely come back to this house in Austin. Thank you for a comfortable and memorable experience. "
2174970,47607816,2015-09-21,1709283,Barbara,Beautiful house.  Great care taken with the design and decor -- looks exactly as reflected in the pictures.  Easy walk into town.  Loads of space for the 7 of us.  Justin & Becca were super easy to work with.
2174970,49348620,2015-10-03,25063304,Anna Maria,Great place for a weekend trip to Austin! The hosts were kind enough to leave beverages for us to enjoy and fresh linens and towels. The place is eclectic and we enjoyed the interesting decor.
2174970,49901963,2015-10-07,92342,Ashley,"Fantastic experience! Gorgeous DIY everything - what an inspiring stay in Austin. They obviously put so much love and time into this quirky home, our entire group felt lucky to be living there for a few days. All the high fives. "
2174970,50064872,2015-10-09,35406388,Stephen,"The house was clean, with a very unique cool design. The back roof deck was a great spot to hang out and listen to music. It was about a 5-10 min walk to E. 6th St and Rainey St, the two most happening spots in downtown. They made sure everything with access to the house, internet and even some beverages were in the house before we arrived."
8171066,46375910,2015-09-10,1019368,Greg,"Me and two friends were travelling to Austin for some fun and found this airbnb in a good location so booked it. Jeddy was very accommodating to our trip and quickly approved our stay. Jeddy changed our booking a few days before we arrived to another unit (I think he has a few in the building) which was fine with us, it sounded similar, and he even refunded us a bit of money which was appreciated. 

On the day of our arrival we let the host know we'd be in around 4pm and he said the unit wouldn't be ready by then – we dropped off our bags and car and went to explore which was fine with us. We were told to come back around 630. When we came back after that the house was still being cleaned and I got to meet Jeddy. Really nice guy and was super welcoming, telling me about places to go in Austin and sounded very genuine. I wish the place had been ready when we arrived but it was great once it was ready!

The building is clearly mostly a student residence and resides on the university campus, so keep that in mind. 

Overall the furniture is a bit random and fairly used, but we had a good stay and the host was stellar. 

We only had 1 key which was a bit of a pain when the group split up, but we made it work. 

Worth staying in as long as you're okay being in a student area / residence. We didn't use any of the amenities so I can't speak to that. 

Parking was easy and free so that's a bonus. "
8171066,47337715,2015-09-17,42952457,Alex,"We had an excellent time in Austin in no small part thanks to Jeddy’s place! The location can’t be beat if you want to be near downtown but without the crazy hotel prices. Plus this has got to be the best view in the city! The balcony was a bit cramped but you can’t beat having a hammock up in the sky. I can’t imagine getting all this anywhere else. The beds are so comfy and I enjoyed Jeddy’s explanation of modal sheets…. after feeling how soft they are, I found myself Googling “modal.” Jeddy himself is a great host and welcomed us in like an old friend. He made the trip simple and yet very personable. I think it’s important to mention this is a complex with mostly student residents next to UT campus but we didn’t have any issues - the place is pretty nice overall, and the apartment itself is clean and quiet. Can’t wait to stay here again!"
8171066,47809468,2015-09-21,15228335,Khortnal,Hello
8171066,49196442,2015-10-01,18843445,Freddy,"Another great stay thanks to Jeddy. I made a last-minute visit to Austin and he was as attentive, welcoming, and prepared as always. The place itself was very clean and quiet, the bed was so comfortable and everything’s just like in the pictures. It was just me this time, but it’s pretty easy to see how a bigger group could comfortably stay here since there’s tons of space. Can’t beat the location and free parking either! As far as the complex itself, it’s quiet, new and mostly students but I also noticed young professionals and other business travelers occasionally. No big deal to me, but I think that’s pretty common for the area. I’m pretty sure I’ve found my go-to host in Austin and I definitely recommend Jeddy to everyone!"
8171066,51540930,2015-10-21,41188427,George,"Jeddy met upon our arrival in Austin, having just spruced up the apartment with new pillows for the beds. The Penthouse was just as described, comfortable and perfectly situated for our four days at University of Texas. The patio provided a great view of the campus and the late afternoon and evening breeze was fantastic. He was the perfect host, helping us initially get our geographic bearings in the city and then allowing us to explore on our own and get down to business. Given that we may have a ""Longhorn"" in the family, Jeddy's Penthouse could make for a perfect home base over the next several years. Thanks Jeddy - nicely done."
8171066,51833206,2015-10-24,43378546,Brian,"The ""penthouse"" was awesome. What a view!  The place was immaculate and had tons of space to relax and be comfortable.  The location was very central and great for walking to coffee etc. It was even a short walk to a great new resturant Olamaie.  Jeddy was a great host and he checked in to see if I needed anything. I wholeheartedly recommend his place to anyone. "
1519279,7820170,2013-10-04,2101951,Jex,The house was beautiful. My group had a great stay with beautiful views of downtown Austin! 
1519279,8812745,2013-11-19,981317,Arturo,"We enjoyed our stay.
The house is so confortable, Nice house.
Near to downtown, Big spaces.
Also Tom is a very good person."
1519279,10937288,2014-03-14,11179240,Joseph,"Stayed here from 3/6 - 3/14 with two others for SXSW. This place is incredible!! Very modern and comfortable. The beds are comfortable and there are surprises everywhere. There is an enclosed porch area downstairs and an awesome deck upstairs, off of a second living room/bar, with a great view. The master bedroom is larger than my NYC apartment and the master bathroom should be in a magazine. 

We used the bus to get into downtown Austin everyday, super easy and affordable ($1). This was made even easier by the bus stop being at the end of the block. There is a text service that you can use to find when the next three buses will be coming so it was easy to know when to walk down. 

We frequented Torchy's Tacos (probably a little too much) and fell in love with their menu and the friendly people there. Its within walking distance so it served as our go to for dinner several nights.

Great experience and will definitely try to book this place again for SXSW next year. "
1519279,42087974,2015-08-10,28362788,Meredith,"Wow, we were very pleased with our stay. The location was perfect, only short uber rides to get to soco, Rainey street and downtown Austin. We loved our stay and the view from the 3rd floor patio was stunning! Would definitely recommend and stay here again. "
1519279,43155483,2015-08-17,27234341,Brandon,This was a great place to stay.  The host was quick to respond with any questions we had and the house was amazing.  Awesome view of the city and great location.  Would recommend for anyone who is doing a little hiking in or out of town.  Being on the South side of town we were in between the hiking and the nightlife of Austin and were able to avoid the traffic.  We were able to uber everywhere we went.
1519279,43854789,2015-08-22,35062406,John,"Tom's place was great. Even though we were only there a couple nights, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very modern house, great location, great views! Highly recommend if staying in Austin. "
1519279,47702927,2015-09-21,32682093,Joshua,Felt very welcomed and also in a great location.
1519279,48715785,2015-09-28,14250206,Julie,"FANTASTIC house.  very comfortable and beautifully appointed.  very highly recommended!  I was here with my elderly mom & my sisters for a wedding, and we all had a great time.  Nice that one bedroom is downstairs since my mom doesn't get around very well. 

I needed help locking the door (because I'm a dork) and Tom was super responsive.   thanks, Tom! "
1519279,51104633,2015-10-17,9354262,Hal,The host canceled this reservation 3 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1519279,52890014,2015-11-02,19414109,Ryan,What an awesome house! The place was better than anticipated. It was a close distance to downtown and a bunch of eateries. I will definitely be staying here again on my next trip to Austin!
2203136,28021619,2015-03-16,4823243,Janelle,"This is the second time we've stayed in Kim's house during SXSW and both times were amazing. The house is architecturally amazing and has great indoor/outdoor flow for relaxing and enjoying the warm Austin weather. Kim is an amazing host. One of the best I've come across on AirBnB. She's very accommodating, answers emails fast, has an awesome Austin guide for places to see, eat and do + stocks the house with amazing snacks and refreshments. Highly recommend this as a SXSW or vacation house!"
4996627,28136693,2015-03-18,6046829,James,We feel really lucky to have found Amy's place. Comfortable and stylish - we had everything we needed. And some delicious cookies and beers waiting for us too. Couldn't be happier.
4996627,29295293,2015-04-06,28649214,Marty,"We had a wonderful stay at the Morran's house.  The location was so convenient and within minutes of a great walking/running trail, grocery store, bars, Starbucks, etc.  We were welcomed with snacks, flowers and a very clean house.  It was everything we needed.  We hope to come back to Austin soon and will stay here again for sure.  "
4996627,30457830,2015-04-22,18554861,Larry,"We stayed at Amy's Airbnb for 5 nights and enjoyed our visit.  Amy made us feel very welcomed with a well stocked kitchen, breakfast foods and snacks, homemade cookies and organic toiletries.
We enjoyed grilling on the back patio.  The beds were very comfortable with nice linens and towels.  There is a washer and dryer, which came in handy.
Amy was very hospitable but did not hover.  She checked in on us upon our arrival and quickly responded to questions that we had.
The neighborhood is walkable and close to public transportation.  Uber is another option. It is within walking distance of Deep Eddy pool and Zilker Park.
We are planning on using Amy's place on our next visit to Austin."
4996627,33137189,2015-05-25,12335163,Felix,The whole process was very streamlined and courteous. Amy's place was exactly what we had in mind and it was in great condition. Cold beer in the fridge and fresh cookies were awesome! Highly recommended.
4996627,36621134,2015-06-29,27953923,Dave,"First, the place was very clean and tidy.  It had everything a small traveling family would need, and nothing it didn't.  Bonus points for being so artfully decorated, but not  feeling like you were in a museum where you may break something by simply looking it the wrong way.    

Second, the hosts were awesome.  Very attentive when we arrived, but then otherwise out of sight and easy to work with through our check out time.  Fridge was stocked with various drink options.  

Third, its location is ideal for anyone wanting to hang out without having to use a car at all (or at least much) in Austin.  This is especially so for folks with kids who would otherwise have to be lugged around in car seats in Texas in the dead of summer.   We strolled to both Deep Eddy and Town Lake in about 10 minutes.  For things in downtown, we made great use of Austin's bus system, which has frequent stops along Lakeside drive and was very clean, prompt and inexpensive.  All the drivers we encountered were quick to offer advice on how to get around.

Fourth (and completely a fact of fate), but the place is a one-story, small home with a tin roof.  We were lucky enough to have a thunderstorm roll over at night, and the sound of a Texas downpour on a tin roof at night is sublime.      
"
4996627,42334108,2015-08-12,12186664,Margaret,"What a great place to stay in Austin! The cool house was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed, and came with a refrigerator stocked with cold drinks. The location was amazing-close to downtown, south Congress, the hike and bike trail, and both Lake Austin and Lady Bird lakes. Restaurants, bars, a grocery store and a pharmacy were less than a 5 minute walk away. Our host, Amy, was welcoming, provided all kinds of information, and even baked us fresh cookies. Communication was easy. We would absolutely stay here again! "
4996627,46241784,2015-09-08,22653285,Diana,"My  family and I decided to take a last minute drive to ATX from Houston. I was surprised that Amy's home was available last minute on a major holiday weekend (Labor Day Weekend). As soon as we arrived I knew that I had made an excellent choice. 

The home is conveniently located on Deep Eddy Avenue which is close to Downtown ATX and other fun easy accessible areas. Deep Eddy Pool is only a few blocks away! It was our first time visiting the pool, we highly recommend it. The pool itself was very relaxing and family friendly. 

For breakfast we just walked over to Magnolia Cafe. It was very convenient to have a few restaurants close by. 

Lady Bird Lake was also a short walk away. There are plenty of other fun activities. 

The home was perfect, my three year old nephew had a blast playing with the available toys! "
4996627,47822006,2015-09-21,41097429,Frank,Excellent place. As advertised. Clean and convenient. Amy was a perfect host.
4996627,49778331,2015-10-06,23344482,Allison,"The house was absolutely the perfect spot for us! The house has everything you need, nothing you don't and couldn't be a better location for ACL.  Amy was incredibly responsive and helped me with even extra surprise details before we arrived.  Snacks and drinks were available, and she was next door should we need anything.  A+"
4996627,51298623,2015-10-19,40623429,Brett,"Amy's house was perfect. Location was great, everything was clean, comfortable beds, plenty of towels/bathroom supplies. The beer and snacks waiting for us were just an added perk! We loved walking to brunch at Magnolia Cafe in the morning.

I highly recommend jumping on this house if it's available for your visit."
4996627,52245354,2015-10-27,41289350,Maria,"How lucky we were to score a stay last minute at Amy's cute house while in town for the F1 Grand Prix. Everything was neat and clean, beds were super comfy and there were plenty of unique toys to keep my kids entertained on the rainy days. She had the fridge stocked with drinks and also left us a delicious loaf of homemade pumpkin bread to welcome us ""home"". If we needed anything, she was available to us at anytime, however there was nothing more we could ask for! The house is in a great location, close to the action but quiet at night. Delicious food right around the corner at Magnolia Cafe. We'll be sure to book this house again if we ever find ourselves back in town!"
3217156,16746748,2014-08-01,4266623,Dave,"Erica's communication was excellent from the start. The house was well-appointed, charming and centrally-located in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of great amenities nearby. Any issues or needs were dealt with efficiently and quickly. Thank you. "
3217156,20027905,2014-09-22,6164709,Michael,"Throughout the process, the communication with Erika was great and exceeded any expectations I would have had.  The house was equally nice, and centrally-located to many areas within the city.  This is definitely on my ""would stay here again"" list."
3217156,28434855,2015-03-23,3414935,Kevin,"The house was great. Everybody was conformable, and we didn't have any complaints at all. We would def. stay here again if we came to Austin. Thank you Erica. "
5429585,27154188,2015-02-26,16503899,Sam,"Alex was a great host. We shared a doughnut desert together and he helped us with info about the Austin area (I had a job interview, and was potentially moving there, so it was quite helpful). He had a big fenced in back yard that our dog was able to frolic about in too. He took us in on very short notice. Safe neighborhood, awesome experience!"
5429585,29803598,2015-04-12,20271212,Gena,"Alex was a wonderful host!  His home is located in a quiet neighborhood.  If you are traveling with pets, his room is ideal because it has direct access to the back yard.

The room was very clean and inviting, and has some of his art work which I loved!"
5429585,32091057,2015-05-13,787261,Liz,"Alex was an awesome host.  He was able to accommodate me at the last minute when my original booking fell through.  

His house was great!  Clean and comfortable.  The bed was perfect.

I would recommend Alex' extra room to anyone and would love to stay again."
5429585,33327751,2015-05-26,33757943,Brandyn,"Alex was very friendly, and his house was very clean and well-decorated. He let us use his appliances and dishes, and was very non-intrusive. The location was great relative to the best parts of Austin. His house is located in a place where it's easy to access most of Austin, especially when you need to bypass Highway 35 at peak hours. The only issue someone might have is that some of the neighbors have roosters which crowed at annoying times."
5429585,47894894,2015-09-21,3517456,Matt,"House was comfortable.  Alex was not available while we were there but he communicated that to us and we made arrangements for a key beforehand.  Alex allowed us to bring our dogs for this trip and that was appreciated.

Only negative part was that a neighbor has a rooster and it crowed in the middle of the night multiple times."
5429585,49694945,2015-10-05,3773140,Brad,"Alex was an amazing host. Since I arrived in town while he was out, he left a key outside for me to let myself in. I had a day to sightsee before my conference, and he pointed me in the right direction of where to wander and where to find the fantastic Japanese food I was seeking. He and his girlfriend also went out to eat with me a couple times during my stay, and made me feel totally at home.

As for the room, it was great, and the house is located about a 15-minute walk from the MetroRail stop, so that was a convenient $7 roundtrip to downtown and back. Otherwise, Uber in Austin turned out to be great, with the house only about $25 from the airport and about $15 from downtown.

If I'm ever in Austin again, I know where I'll be looking to stay!
"
5429585,50572180,2015-10-12,45744045,Brittani,Had a great time. Alex was open and friendly. The room and house was cute and welcoming. Great yard for my dog. He loved it too!
704738,3774274,2013-03-13,4970258,Josh,"Our small film crew came out to Austin for SXSW, and amidst all the madness of the event, Trent and Carly's place was a welcome oasis of peace and relaxation. Trent and Carly were easy to connect with, communicative and helpful getting us situated, and their house is gorgeous. Great light, great design, great backyard. And Zilker Park is the perfect hood from which to explore the city — easy bike to downtown, and short walk to coffee, bbq, beer, and just about anything else you'd want. We couldn't be happier to have found Trent and Carly's house while we were in Austin. We got lucky."
704738,8106929,2013-10-15,8109821,Joshua,We had a really pleasant stay here for ACL 2013.  This home is very close to Zilker Park (we biked to ACL).  It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood which is nice for older visitors not wanting the raucous of downtown.  This is an ideal location particularly if you remain through the last acts each night.  The master bed and bath were great while the living room was a perfect spot to unwind.   The house was well decorated and will comfortably fit two couples.  Trent and Carly were also super easy to work with and were able to accommodate us arriving late in the evening as well as taking off a day early due to unfortunate weather.  Overall we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend this place to others.
704738,21207309,2014-10-13,1034210,David,"Beautiful home, with a clean, mid-century aesthetic. We stayed for ACL and it was super convenient - about a 15 minute walk to Zilker Park. Neighborhood was quiet and cozy, and pretty well located to restaurants/retail/etc. 

Trent was an excellent host, accommodated our group by getting an extra air mattress and even found a place for his cat as one of our guests was allergic. 

Would definitely stay here again and recommend the home highly to others. "
704738,28204608,2015-03-20,2731083,Bianca,"This rental was one of the nicest I have stayed in with Airbnb. It is laid out nicely, tastefully decorated, and has beautiful front and back yards. The house is perfect for a small group or families with children. 

Our group was in town for the premiere of our film at SXSW. We were very busy with events and loved coming back to this relaxing comfortable home. It's about a 10 minute bike ride from downtown and there are plenty of good restaurants and things to do nearby. We brought our 18 month old with us and she loved playing with all the toys and play equipment in the yard.

Trent and Carly were great hosts, they provided suggestions for places to eat and things to do nearby and were very easy to communicate with. The neighborhood is great. Other folks with us rented 2 houses nearby so we were all within walking distance of each other. The house was stocked with nice bedding, linens, cookware, and all the essentials. We would definitely stay here again. "
6870243,37601609,2015-07-08,10664146,Kyle,What a great space! Wonderful location minutes from everything we needed.
6870243,37920623,2015-07-11,22064785,Rebecca,"Travelled to Austin for one night and this loft was a great place to stay.  It's newly constructed with beautiful wood floors and sits above the detached garage of the main house. Good size with plenty of room for two. I enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. I would note that the bed is firm, and was a bit too firm for us. The main house appears to still be under some construction, but there did not appear to be any builders or work being done at the time of our stay. It was very quiet with lots of privacy, which was perfect as I travelled to Austin to take an exam.  Check-in and -out was an absolute breeze.  We had no problems with street parking as we were able to get a spot right in front of the house every time. This space is close to Lamar St. with lots of restaurants and shops. Anthony was very communicative, responds quickly, and very welcoming. I would recommend staying here! "
6870243,38196853,2015-07-13,7039696,Heather,"Trendy Loft's location is quintessential Austin. The loft is appointed nicely and stays cool. If you're not familiar with Austin, these are the two most important things: location and AC. You can bike or walk to literally anything worth doing from here. While staying in this neighborhood, enjoy local tacos on South Lamar and sipping beer at the Barton Springs establishments. Biking, kayaking, and paddle boarding around Ladybird Lake are all close and affordable. Anthony is a perfect host, and Trendy Loft will not disappoint you. "
6870243,38473046,2015-07-15,7976885,Kristofer,The host canceled this reservation 71 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
6870243,38892565,2015-07-19,36524500,Madeleine,"My boyfriend and I stayed at this apartment for our recent vacation to Austin and it definitely met our expectations. Our host was so accommodating and was really quick to respond when ever I had any questions or concerns. The loft is above a garage, located behind the host's home. He definitely allowed us to have our privacy (which is what we were looking for) and though I didn't meet him, my boyfriend did and said he was very nice and very helpful.
The location is perfect if you are looking to explore Austin for the first time. It is right off a cool stretch of S. Lamar with a ton of options for dining and shopping. It is also very close to Zilker Park as well. The neighborhood was quiet and really cute, and there is also a laundry place and little grocery store less than a minutes walk which was really convenient. To head into the downtown area, Ubers were never more than $8.00, so we found that to be more convenient than driving into that area. 
The loft is smaller, but we thought it was the perfect size for the two of us. It is very clean and new, with new appliances and fixtures and such. Very basic kitchen supplies were provided, but was all we needed to eat leftovers the one evening we stayed in. The security/entrance system is very convenient and the air conditioning worked amazing, which we found to be important for our first time in the TX heat. If you have a car, you will be asked to park on the street which we had no trouble with at all. It seems to be exclusively a guest area, which as a first time AirBnB user was nice because I was worried about being around someone's personal belongings. Overall, everything was nearly perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better host. "
6870243,39470329,2015-07-23,9384627,Lisa,"The self check-in process was a breeze.  Parking was readily available all up and down the street.  Anthony and Emily were extreamly easy to get in touch with and quick to respond.  The apt is clean, welcoming and exactly as pictured.  It felt like we were in a treehouse and I loved that!  There were even fresh, delicious cookies :)"
6870243,39822924,2015-07-26,4213677,Zack,Great spot to stay. Very comfortable and exactly as pictured. Would definitely recommend. Anthony was always available if we needed anything (which we didn't). Great food trucks down the block as well. 
6870243,40167265,2015-07-28,9521708,Noah,Communicating with Anthony was great from the start. The location of the loft is excellent. It's super close to downtown and Zilker park. It's quiet and and has easy street parking. The loft is newly built and lovely. It has everything you need and the AC works great. I'd highly recommend staying here during your next visit to Austin. 
6870243,40780057,2015-08-02,31048403,Tyler,Our experience was great! Would definitely recommend staying here. The loft was very nice and in great location. Anthony was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and was vey helpful. I plan on staying here again when I come to Austin.
6870243,41053372,2015-08-03,13142040,Andrew,"This little Casita is totally adorable, probably the best looking, best built garage apartment we have ever seen. Location can't be beat, close but not too close. Plenty of quiet if you want that kind of thing. Walking distance from a laundromat if you need to stay longer than a week. Bike distance from Zilker Park and Barton Springs Pool, actually we were told we could even walk there. Overall, my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anthony & Emily's Casita. We would stay there again in a heartbeat."
6870243,41266526,2015-08-05,3683203,James,This place is very stylish and everything seems to be brand-new! The keyless entry was very convenient.  And our host helped us figure out how to work the air-conditioner at 10 PM.  
6870243,41996857,2015-08-10,38039030,Kelley,"I thought Anthony was a nice host. He was responsive to our request for some mugs to be brought to the condo and was friendly when we ran into him on the last day. However, I had emailed him prior to booking to ask if there would be curtains on all the windows and beer/wine glasses and he said ""yes"" to both but neither proved to be true. 

As far as the loft goes, it was in a great location and the decor is cute but we were a little disappointed in how basic it was. The bed and love seat are pretty hard/uncomfortable and there was no dresser/table, etc. to put much of our stuff so we ended up having to spill over into the kitchen area. It's my understanding that this unit is a fairly new rental so I'm confident it will only get better as Anthony adds more items/makes some small changes as he goes along. I would give it 3 and a half stars if I could but ended up rounding up thanks to the good location. "
6870243,42766743,2015-08-15,24378866,Lindsey,"Nice place! Pretty sure it was recently built, because it still had that ""new construction"" scent (lots of fresh-cut wood and such). Very quiet neighborhood and within easy walking distance of a laundromat and little grocery store. The decor was really cute, and we really enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony in the evening! Anthony was very responsive, as was his assistant. We only got to stay for a night, but overall we had a positive experience!"
6870243,43300487,2015-08-18,40480310,Jasmine,"Anthony's place was great! Sign-in was a breeze; my boyfriend and I got in around 330pm and used the code given to us to enter the apartment. No need to try to schedule a time to meet up for keys -- it was really convenient. 

The loft itself looked exactly as advertised. It was roomy for a couple, and had a fully stocked kitchen and working fridge and stove. We didn't end up using the kitchen except for the fridge, but it was nice to have that option.

The location was fabulous! We brought our bikes with us from out of town, so on our first day there, we rode our bikes to Barton Springs Pool. It was about a 10 minute bike ride; seriously, so close to Barton Springs. That night we Uber'd out to South Congress, and I'm pretty the ride cost us no more than $10. Other notable places we visited were Lick Ice Creams (about a mile away) and Uchi (about a mile away) -- each Uber ride was about $4-$5. 

I really enjoyed the fact that we stayed here instead of a hotel because the neighborhood was pretty quiet and it felt nice to come back to a home instead of a sterilized hotel. In addition, Anthony and his assistant were super attentive and frequently asked if everything was okay and whether we needed anything at all; we felt really pampered!

We really enjoyed the stay, thank you Anthony!"
6870243,43593501,2015-08-20,19636176,Reina,"Wonderful place to stay in a great location with even a corner store grocery accross the street for any essentials. The loft was even better then the pics with everything brand new and tastefully furnished. Anthony was an excellent host w even providing a guest book with local recommendations, info and more. Both him and his assistant were extremely responsive to any questions I had before or during my stay. I would highly recommend and hope to stay again soon. "
6870243,43847534,2015-08-22,11081140,David,"The place was perfect, check-in was super easy, and Anthony was a great and attentive host.    Location would be killer for ACL and is only a short 5-10min drive or cab ride to downtown.  Would absolutely recommend and will 100% stay here again."
6870243,44209459,2015-08-24,39336229,Emily,"The Zilker loft was fantastic! It was easy to get to, convenient to the grocery, park and downtown, plus it was clean and quiet.  Anthony baked some cookies our first night, a great personal touch. I hope it's available the next time I have people in town to visit."
6870243,44712341,2015-08-28,4615594,Ron,"Nice location beautiful loft studio. 
"
6870243,45423144,2015-09-02,41960439,Lisa,Anthony's loft was the perfect place for someone looking to visit Austin. The location was great and so close to all of the best locations that Austin has to offer. The loft was very private and convenient. I would definitely recommend this listing!!
6870243,46016131,2015-09-07,33992070,Micah,"The loft was everything we expected and more; everything was super updated and clean, and it was nicely located for a private getaway. Anthony was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable.  The neighborhood was very nice, within a mile to the Barton Springs pool.  "
6870243,46510413,2015-09-11,41728854,Barrett,"Communication to/from Anthony was excellent from the start.
His loft was accurately described and photographed. No Surprises!
The balcony in the picture just behind the ceiling fan was great for afternoon drinks at the end of a long day of sight seeing and natural springs swimming.

The location was very convenient to major Austin arteries and Barton Springs as well as Zilker Park , but quiet all day and all night long.

The loft was clean, cozy, and saved us a lot of money versus staying in a hotel that would not have been anywhere near where we wanted to be.

Very happy overall.  "
6870243,47192128,2015-09-16,23182088,Ben,"Hey, this place was great! Exactly what we expected. Never did meet Andrew or his assistant Emily, but we were very comfortable for the two days we spent there. They even brought us cookies. YUM

We didn't plan to use the kitchen, but if you do. You should know there isn't a sink, besides the one in the bathroom. We Andrew said it's some city ordinance thing. They had a little bit of construction going on the morning we checked out, but Andrew was super gracious about it, and it really wasn't a bother.  I'd very much recommend staying here!"
6870243,48095589,2015-09-23,234535,Alex,"Very nice loft, comfortable, quiet neighborhood."
6870243,48322547,2015-09-25,11395398,Dan,"Wonderful place - has everything you need and the location is close to so much. Hit Picnik and get their bone broth, odd duck is great and the theatre is walking distance. Great find in Austin "
6870243,48734825,2015-09-28,851982,Bill,"It was very nice.  Nice bed, TV, etc.  Very clean.  Cool part of Austin.  Anthony was super flexible about my travel dates which were up in the air because of work and even refunded me a night because of it... which was super cool of him.  Really easy going and easy to deal with.  Oh yeah and there were a few beers in the fridge for me and coffee.  I recommend!"
6870243,49051291,2015-09-30,38373355,Christopher,Anthony was a great host for my stay. Got back to me quick and was super friendly. His place was gorgeous and in an ideal location for us. Would stay again.
6870243,49462908,2015-10-04,8109821,Joshua,"Anthony was a great host. Good communication, and check-in was simple. The loft is very well maintained and in a great area if you're going to ACL. It was a 5 minute bike ride to Zilker Park.  We would definitely stay there again. Highly recommend. "
6870243,49645932,2015-10-05,42400912,Rachael,The loft was beautiful! I especially loved the peaceful patio space. The location was ideal; we were able to walk very comfortably to and from ACL. 
6870243,49870729,2015-10-06,2207886,Shea,The loft was super clean and well-planned! We had a great stay.
6870243,49964339,2015-10-07,31237807,Candace,The loft was very cute and clean.  Anthony was a great host and I would definitely stay here again. 
6870243,50022294,2015-10-08,35522999,Maggie,Wonderful stay! The place was beautiful and just as pictured! Perfect for visiting Austin and going downtown (10 min drive)! 
6870243,50448299,2015-10-12,10320582,Nicole,"Our stay at the loft was great! It was quiet, clean, super comfortable and nicely decorated, and conveniently close to a lot of great places. Anthony was a very accommodating host and was a great communicator. The loft was the perfect place to stay for our Austin/ACL trip and I would definitely stay here again. Thanks, Anthony! "
6870243,50982592,2015-10-16,6545494,Gavin,"Great place for couples! Myself and my girlfriend stayed for 4 nights and and used rental bikes to navigate the city (warning: steep hills nearby) and this was a gorgeous neighbourhood. Lots of decent bars and restaurants on the nearby highway (5 min walk) and the store over the road is stocked with basics for breakfast/snacks/drinks. The area is totally safe, we walked around at 3am and never once felt uncomfortable. It's a $5-$7 Uber to downtown, 10min cycle or 30min walk, so not super close if that's essential for you, but it's a short walk to the parks, which we definitely recommend. For my money this is the best neighbourhood in the city and Anthony was very welcoming. I'd stay here again without hesitation! Thank you."
6870243,51287915,2015-10-19,21779189,Taylor,"Anthony was a great host! My boyfriend and I were traveling to Austin for the first time and he made us feel very welcome and even provided some recommendations for the area. The place was very new and clean, with a great balcony for sipping coffee in the morning. The only small thing I will say is there isn't a sink in the kitchen, only the bathroom, but there could be plans for an installation soon! "
6870243,52692051,2015-11-01,9263477,Suzanne,"Host was very communicative after booking this loft, made it very easy to show up & get in with ease. Neighborhood is nice & conveniently located especially if you want to go for a walk or bike ride around Zilker Park. We walked to a great food truck area which was a 20-25 minute walk from the house. The loft was clean and had great natural light. Two unusual things were the lack of kitchen sink and the bed. There's a full kitchen in the loft which makes you think it would be fine to cook breakfast in, etc. but there is no kitchen sink which I don't recall seeing in the ad. This would present a big problem if you were cooking a meal - there is no way to clean pots/pans/etc! The second thing was the bed. It needs to be replaced. It wasn't very uncomfortable but wasn't comfortable either and appeared to be broken underneath the box spring. Other than that it was good. "
6870243,52927957,2015-11-02,47502611,Evan,This place was great! What you see is what you get. Thanks a bunch!
6870243,53122094,2015-11-05,2253800,Scott,"Nice place, clean, quiet, and the host was very helpful. Anthony's assistant Emily went way out of her way to help me in a number of ways one of which was finding me a late night and even healthy food option via text while my flight was delayed! I was hungry, tired, and just needed to rest for a work function the next day and Emily got me great options, and was very helpful and friendly throughout my stay."
8227170,48030964,2015-09-22,42619532,Vivienne,"This is a great place, just what I needed for my family when they visited. It's nicely decorated and clean. The location is close to downtown and has access to the river and trails. The guest room with two beds is on the first floor, the master bedroom and other guest room is upstairs.  Ryan and his staff are very responsive, they immediately sent maintenance over when the bath tub drain broke. I definitely recommend staying here."
8227170,49810988,2015-10-06,14372998,Sydne,I booked this location for several friends and I who were attending the Austin City Limits Music Festival and had an amazing time staying at this location. The river is steps away and has a beautiful view of downtown Austin and everything is a reasonable distance away. The location has just enough space for a small group of friends and has an excellent entertainment system for playing music or watching TV. We appreciated the ease of using a code on the door to enter the location and the close proximity of parking. 
8227170,50517991,2015-10-12,6258820,Juan,Place was even better than we expected. Great location. More than enough room for our group. The place was very nice and decorated well.
377609,9614037,2014-01-03,8520663,Heidi,The loft was beautiful and in a great location.  Lance was most welcoming and helpful.  Would definitely stay there again!
377609,10980110,2014-03-16,7096925,Matt,"Lance was an amazing host.  Super helpful and nice.  We LOVED the house and hope to be able to stay in it every time we're in Austin.  It had everything we needed.  Awesome location, awesome everything!!"
377609,21121935,2014-10-12,17223240,Alexander,"Stayed for ACL Weekend 2, 2014, awesome place in a great central location.  Has all the amenities you could want.  Definitely would stay there again."
377609,22566919,2014-11-09,7727388,Ashton,"Lance was a wonderful host! His lake cabin couldn't have been more perfect! What a hidden jewel! It is clean, cozy and convenient. Lance was responsive and very helpful! My boyfriend and I will most certainly book with him again, on our next trip down to Austin! "
377609,23909971,2014-12-14,6068562,Srihari,"We had a wonderful time at this Lake House. Lance was great. He was very accommodating with our requests. The place was exactly as seen in the pictures, located in a beautiful, scenic, and serene place. The house has a very cabin like feel. The house was clean and the hot tub was cleaned and kept ready for us. We loved the huge patio with the hot tub. It was relaxing to sit there (with decorative lights) and enjoy the view. The lake is just a nice short hike from the house. If you are interested in kayaking, they have some kayaks and life jackets at the dock. If you sleep in the loft, you will wake up to a nice view of the hills and trees. Added amenities that we liked were music system and TV with Netflix app. It took us around 15 minutes to go to downtown. If you are reaching the place in the night, I would suggest carrying a flashlight since it was pretty dark. Also, since the house is in the shape of A, at some points you might want to be cautious so you don't bump your head accidentally with the wooden frame. The checkin and checkout was flexible and extremely smooth. We really enjoyed our stay. The host was always available for our questions. I highly recommend this place an awesome getaway!"
377609,24351657,2014-12-26,2898112,Kjirsten,The reservation was canceled the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.
377609,29815324,2015-04-13,2483499,Myriam & Kraig,"My wife and I chose Lance's A-Frame house to be our special, post-wedding getaway and it did not disappoint. We were't going to have time for a honeymoon, so we just wanted something rustic, cozy, unique and peaceful for the few days following the wedding and it was exactly that. I'd never stayed in an A-Frame before but waking up in the comfortable loft bed with soft natural light from the windows was a great way to start the day.

The property itself is rather large with a great patio for relaxing and hanging out, and then a fire pit just a few steps away from that. We used the fire pit one night and it was great. There's also a private walkway down to the water where kayaks and paddle boards were available to us. We kayaked one morning and this was probably our favorite part of the whole experience. We could get used to that lifestyle!

The house also came with a fully stocked bar and some basic grocery items which is always a nice and welcome touch. If we needed something---food, beverage or toiletry---there was a good chance it was there. It felt like someone's beloved home as opposed to a money-making rental property. I certainly appreciated that.

One final note: while I didn't get to meet Lance or his property-helper Blake, I spoke with both on the phone a few times and they were the true definition of southern hospitality. Because it was our post-wedding weekend they wanted to make sure we were well taken care of. Lance had a bottle of wine and champagne dropped off for us which was incredibly touching. We had a question or two about the hot tub and the front lock and Blake got back in touch with us almost immediately with the answers. Can't ask for anything better than that!

We visit Austin frequently and I can safely say we will stay here again the future. If you're looking for a reasonably-priced getaway with a cozy feel and some great amenities (hot tub, patio, fire pit, kayaking), you likely won't do better than this."
377609,30261576,2015-04-19,31209885,Suzie,"We had such a wonderful time, Lance and Blake were extremely helpful. This was the perfect cabin for an Austin getaway and the paddle boards, kayaks, hot tub and fire pit were definitely a plus! "
377609,32764408,2015-05-21,4279379,Lalanya,"The hosts were excellent.  The A Frame is a very charming cabin that offers a quiet natural setting. A private nature trail  down to the lake that is pure magic, Kayaks, a fire pit ( that we will use next time when it's less buggy outside) and last but not leaast, a very hot spa on the backyard deck."
377609,33415219,2015-05-27,2961280,Jud,"Nice little funky A-frame very close to town. Spacious living room with great couch, nice TV setup, and bar. Didn't get to enjoy the kayak due to weather, but would be fun to revisit, especially since we now know how to make sure the hot tub heats up (there's a reset switch on the back of the heater unit!)"
377609,37814974,2015-07-10,6741627,Paula,Lance went well beyond expectations as an excellent air bnb host. I told him that I was planning an Austin vacation with my two daughters around my adult daughter's birthday. She was so pleased to find a beautiful chocolate cake waiting for her in the very well-stocked pantry of the charming Lake House. Blake greeted us at arrival and gave us a gracious tour that made for a perfect start for our vacation. He was available throughout the stay to solve any problems or answer questions.
377609,42759069,2015-08-15,37233344,Danielle,"Lance was great. He was very attentive and made sure that we were comfortable the entire time. We didn't get to enjoy the hot tub or kayaks but are planning to return in the fall when it's cooler and we can enjoy patio, fire pit, and hot tub. "
4907397,43907745,2015-08-23,30794091,William,"JJ was an excellent host. He was very welcoming and let me use all of the facilities, from the kitchen to the TV to the pool. The whole family was very nice, too. I would highly recommend this house."
4907397,49347678,2015-10-03,36546234,Shane,The experience was amazing.  JJ is a great person.
7228492,44246543,2015-08-24,35711077,Shannon,"The #babefarm was a ton of fun. The hosts were so nice, they left us suggestions for bars/food and plenty towels/pool toys (including a giant swan). The house comfortably slept all of us guests and came with a full equipped kitchen for us to make our own breakfast in the am, the girls also left us a bottle of champagne for mimosas:) We honestly spent more time at the house then 6th street but when we did go out the uber was only 7-9 dollars for our entire group. Cannot say enough great things about this air BnB, definitely staying here again. "
7228492,45177982,2015-08-31,37845343,Isaac,"Everything that was on the list was there . all the pictures match the House, and the house was really clean when we got there . Host maxe us feel like at home .
Greatest experience EVER . I will sure be back. "
4216636,20879036,2014-10-06,17334349,Courtney,This was the perfect house for a festival at Zilker park! We were a 10 minute walk away from ACL. Richard and Teresa were amazing hosts! Would definitely rent from them again
4216636,21248124,2014-10-13,21650892,Randall,"Richard & Theresa are absolutely fabulous hosts.  They couldn't have been more accommodating or hospitable.  The house was perfect in every way and location was directly across from Zilker Park & Barton Springs with downtown being just a couple minute cab ride or a nice scenic walk. If I could, I'd pack up and move in with these folks! I can't wait to find another reason to visit them!  Thanks you two! love ya!"
4216636,22552547,2014-11-09,22245582,Blake,"Richard's kindness and availability was very helpful!
He made sure we were well taken care of and had everything we needed, even before we got there. 
The place was clean and tidy and ready for guests.
Well done Richard, thanks again!"
4216636,28126684,2015-03-18,24775027,Kenny,"Richard and his lovely home were the perfect place for my group to stay during SXSW. The house was well maintained, the rooms were clean, and he was beyond accomodating. 

Richard lives next door and is available at a moments notice to support you during your stay. There were truly no issues during our stay. 

We would rent with Richard again. "
4216636,28810202,2015-03-30,28652046,Thomas,"Richard was a very welcoming host and easy to communicate with during the entire process. We were down for a college reunion weekend and it was a great set-up for having a group of guys stay for a long weekend. We walked to Zilker park for some beach volleyball, spent some time out by the pool, grabbed food truck grub from just around the corner and overall had a great time exploring downtown Austin (easy access from here!).  Just a few issues with the TV and wi-fi not working, but Richard was quick to offer help.  I would recommend the house for a fun group trip!"
4216636,29386247,2015-04-07,2758786,Stuart,"Richard was a great host, he responded almost instantly to any questions we had in advance of as well as during our stay.

The house is in a great location, right next to Barton Springs and a few great Tex-Mex restaurants, food trucks, and bars.  It's also a short drive (~7 minutes) to downtown / Rainey Street / 6th street.  You can easily get by on Uber from this location.

Richard's house was a great fit for my group of college friends (8 mid 20's guys) by just adding a few air mattresses.  

Would recommend for similar groups that are looking for easy access to Austin.  The house is a bit worn (not at all a problem for us) so would just plan accordingly based on the group."
4216636,30758368,2015-04-27,7919791,Danielle,"This was the perfect house for our weekend! Our group of girlfriends flew in from all over the country for a bachelorette weekend. Richard was very accommodating and gave great suggestions for where to go in the area. 

The house is located walking distance from Barton Springs-make sure to check out this amazing public pool! Also walking distance from an amazing food truck lot (check out Turf and Surf!) and a bike rental. We biked into downtown several days; only a 15 minute ride! 

The house itself was perfect for our purposes. We loved the large upper room with all the beds together (super soft linens, by the way), and the deck on the second story was a beautiful hang out spot. The pool area is great too; private and perfect for ladies laying out with some cocktails :-) Overall the pool is clean and Richard looked after it while we were there but there are several trees around so don't be afraid of a few leaves in the water. 

The one drawback to so many women in this house... the bathroom spaces are small and there are not any closets. 

Still, we got an amazing experience and a comfy house with a really friendly helpful host for a great price! Richard lives next door and was always just a door knock away if we needed anything. 

Highly recommended. Enjoy your stay in Austin! "
4216636,32015251,2015-05-12,10890853,Andy,"Great location, house was exactly as described. Richard had great communication. "
4216636,33064808,2015-05-25,26107362,Brian,"Richards home is an excellent place to stay in Austin for a radium sized group!  The beds are comfortable and plentiful.  

The deck is perfect.  Nicely secluded yet in the middle of everything.   You can walk to several excellent restaurants .

The pool is nice as well. Unfortunately it rained almost our entire visit so we didn't get to use it as much as we would have liked. 

We would definitely stay here again.

Richard was a very accommodating and available host if we needed him but was not intrusive at all.   Good first airbnb experience for sure"
4216636,35074509,2015-06-15,29243506,Kayla,"Great place in Austin for any group! So close to downtown but not too loud. Had great privacy with the pool. Everything we needed for the weekend was provided - blankets, pillows, towels, dishes, and really comfy beds too!! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
4216636,36587372,2015-06-29,35573702,Evan,Richard was a great host. He was welcoming and we had a great stay. The property was as described and the outside area was really great. 
4216636,38994124,2015-07-20,1981383,Clare,"Richard was very welcoming and an enthusiastic host. The place would more accurately be described as a cottage. It's comfortably furnished especially the beds, but the bathrooms are very tight and the kitchen basic. There feels like there is some maintenance issues we ran into overall. Ladies beware of lack of window coverings. The location outweighs any of those downsides. And the pool area, privacy and generally spaciousness of rental make this still come recommended."
4216636,40947514,2015-08-03,37003517,Vannessa,"Our first AirBnB process was very smooth. Richard was attentive and responded within hours of reaching out to him by call or text. The house is cottage style and was just the perfect space for about 6-8 people. Kitchen and bathrooms are small but since we spent majority of our time out of the home, it worked for us. I would definitely keep Richard in mind if we make another trip to Austin!"
4216636,41929010,2015-08-10,31220995,David,"This was a great house for a fun weekend in Austin. The location is perfect. A five minute walk to Barton Springs, and a short uber ride to downtown.

Richard is a very accommodating host. Highly recommend staying here. "
4216636,43537908,2015-08-20,37083789,Jessica,"This place was awesome, plenty of room and of course being able to walk to Barton springs was really cool. Richard was consistently available when we had questions as well!"
4216636,45718338,2015-09-05,42220898,Benny,Charming rustic cottage in the middle of a bustling city. We had a wonderful stay. Richard was the perfect host - responsive yet respected our privacy although he lived on the same lot. 
4216636,46163161,2015-09-08,20874873,Allyson,Great location! Right across the street from Barton Springs and close enough to easily Uber or Lyft to fun areas such as Rainey and 6th street. House was perfect for a larger group of people with 4 bed available. Loved the pool in the front yard to hang out by for a drink before exploring the city!
4216636,47663097,2015-09-21,35582328,Sam,"Me and  7 other friends stayed here for a long weekend in Austin. Richard was very welcoming once I arrived. The place itself is cozy--there are 3 beds upstairs, 1 bed downstairs, a kitchen and bathrooms on both floors. It was fine for what we needed. Only complaints would be the light bulb in the upstairs bathroom was broken and the TV quality was bad. But other than that, it was a great place to stay and we enjoyed the pool."
4216636,48749587,2015-09-28,35293036,Thy,"Location, location, location. This the location was ideal for us because we took our dogs to Barton Springs for the duration of our stay.  It was a quick drive to all the locations we wanted to go. Richard was very responsive to our requests.  There are some things to be aware of. Although there are plenty of sleeping areas, there are only two bathroom. It worked for us(4 people) but be aware that they are small. There are no window treatment upstairs so depending on how much you sleep in, it can be a problem. The heavily treed lot does help with some of the light. We enjoyed our stay he."
5200329,28317587,2015-03-22,3048768,Clemence,"The house was very nice in a very quiet area. Aaron was very welcoming and helpful, left stuff for us. Thanks again!"
5200329,39306508,2015-07-22,35569299,Arik,"Aaron is an amazing host! His place is located nearby to just about anything you would want to do in Austin, which comes in handy when it comes to exploring. Had a great stay and would certainly stay with Aaron again!"
947863,10923819,2014-03-13,12024722,Severin,I don't even know where to begin... Tracey and James we're absolutely amazing. The house is in a great location and will be even better with the rapid bus system coming soon. They were super kind and offered tons of advice and even took me to a local bar! You will not find a better place to stay in Austin. I really hope to come out and visit again. Thank you both for an amazing time in Austin!
947863,11038208,2014-03-17,13031116,Brittany,"We had a great time staying with Tracey and James. The room was perfect and the bed was super comfy. James showed us where to park and use the hike and bike trail to avoid any traffic (which was perfect!). They both gave us plenty of ideas for restaurants, shopping, and things going on at SXSW. We were mainly out all day for SXSW, but when we were at the house we had our privacy and felt very comfortable. Tracey and James are very friendly and helpful, we really did have a great weekend! We would definitely stay again!"
947863,20892204,2014-10-07,7845748,Julie,Tracey and James made our ACL weekend even more awesome than we expected! The room was very comfortable and fully loaded with snacks and beverages.  Tracey even gave us a ride to the venue! We couldn't have asked for more hospitality or a better stay!
947863,21199287,2014-10-13,6120193,Harriet,"Tracey and James could not have been more thoughtful and conscientious hosts! Our room was very cozy and we had a nice private corner of their beautiful home. They were more than happy to recommend restaurants and things to do in Austin, as well as drop us off close to the festival craziness. I would definitely recommend staying with them to a friend."
947863,28161937,2015-03-19,4389967,Julie,"Tracey and James are great, generous, friendly hosts! They have a lovely, comfortable home--it's clean, spacious, and in a fantastic, beautiful neighborhood near a lot of amazing foods. And I have to mention their dog, Spot--he's super sweet! I'd definitely love to stay here again."
1704832,10923741,2014-03-13,1905859,Anna,"Best host ever! Me and my two colleagues stayed at here place at Kinney during SXSW. It was much farther away than we expected but it was a lovely and light little house with a small garden and a front porch. Good place for hanging and sleep for all of us. 

Rachel was very flexibel with checkin and checkout as well as additional guest. We also wanted to get some bikes to take the 20 minutes bike ride over to the convention center. Rachel bought some 2nd hand bikes for us and fixed helmets as well and we didn't have to think about anything.  
In other words, a nice place and a helpful host that makes your trip fun and smooth! "
1704832,11804334,2014-04-15,8904314,Jacqui,"Thanks for the great stay, located off S Lamar- plenty of GREAT eats/shopping nearby, and we loved having  your cute house to come home to ;.) 
Thanks for being a great host!  Would DEFINITELY book again"
1704832,12574862,2014-05-05,14515096,Lyndsay,"I came to Austin to tackle a full weekend of work and celebrations - lots of careful time management required. Since I'd already had such ease in correspondence with Rachel and her place looked so lovely and cozy, I expected to have a relaxing home base at her place in Austin. What I didn't expect was to leave so refreshed and inspired after spending time in her home. She was so considerate in checking on us, and she's obviously an incredibly talented artist. My friends who stayed with me also marveled at her generosity of spirit which is evident throughout her space. For her to bless complete strangers with this form of hospitality is just the coolest thing ever. "
1704832,13453965,2014-05-27,15715579,Michael,"Exactly as advertised. This place is quiet, charming and right in the middle of everything!"
1704832,22289250,2014-11-03,1596241,Laura,"Rachel's house is exactly like the photos - very cute and clean! Rachel was very attentive, especially given our late night arrival. She left coffee, breakfast treats and beer for us, which was very thoughtful. The house is in a residential neighborhood, but a quick drive to our favorite spots on S. Lamar, S. 1st and S. Congress. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. "
1704832,47828342,2015-09-21,2970162,Sarah,"Rachel was a very tentative host and was great at responding quickly to all questions! The bungalow is very cute and has a gorgeous patio off the master bedroom. I hung out in the bedroom as it had the TV, a couch and coffee table, so it felt more like an extended living room. You do need a laptop to watch TV as a heads up so you can stream from online. The only negative feedback is in regards to the space was the kitchen. It's was small which is ok, but it wasn't easy to move around and cook, as it was cluttered. Other then that all was great! "
4703527,23731076,2014-12-08,4232586,Marcel,Great place in a convenient location that is just a short drive away from downtown. Perfect for larger groups.
4703527,28160424,2015-03-19,6363601,Morten,"Great place, Great service."
4703527,38995722,2015-07-20,7725256,Karolin,"This was a great place to stay in with a large group. The rooms were very clean and comfortably decorated. The kitchen was large and had everything you needed. The outside area was very nice, because is had mostly shade throughout the hot times of the day, therefore you could actually sit outside even though it was 95 degrees outside. The neighborhood felt very safe, there is a great coffee place right around the corner and downtown is about a 10 minute drive away. I would come back here again. "
4703527,44208046,2015-08-24,40810000,Stefan,"The VacationCake team was awesome. We were able to dial in to the house lock and did not have to check in with anyone. It was super easy. Also Jay/Sarah were super responsive when we noticed the grill was missing, and they went and bought us one the next day so we could use it. Awesome spot!"
4703527,46195728,2015-09-08,39637870,Hope,"This house was perfect for a group birthday/labor day get away.

Jay was incredibly accommodating and let us check I way earlier than 4PM.

great size house, backyard and great location!"
4703527,48892193,2015-09-29,39709159,Rachel,"The House of Rock was very accommodating for 5 of us. We loved the layout of the house, simple & clean decor, and the backyard. Our host was very responsive with any additional needs we had during our stay. The location was perfect for our group as we mostly got around by utilizing Uber or walking. 
The layout of the house was great. The master bedroom suite was beautiful with the vaulted ceiling and claw foot tub.

5260774,47762272,2015-09-21,13860487,Katie,"Fabulous house, we highly recommend and we will be back!   "
3876781,20830787,2014-10-06,355247,Kmilo,"Gracy House was much more than expected! This was our first AirBnB experience and could have not been better. Communication with Sarah was great and cordial, and her place is simple, cozy and quaint. Location is great! I will be keeping Gracy house in mind for future Austin adventures!"
3876781,21292196,2014-10-14,5175488,Mike,"Really cute house, but I really wish we'd known before we booked that there was no normal shower. (The listing said ""tub with hand shower,"" which we didn't think hard enough about.) You basically have to take a French-style bath, sitting in the tub and using a handheld shower head (there's nowhere to clip it), and it's really easy to spray water everywhere if you're not used to it. Also, French people have bidets for a reason....

The other negative for us was that the bed was a small double (not queen or king) and extremely soft, to the point of being kind of uncomfortable for us. It was quite a relief to sleep on a generic airport hotel bed the next night.

But if you like very soft beds and hand showers, this is otherwise a good choice, and the neighborhood is great. Don't miss the super-cute new cafe two short blocks north.

Other things: Strong A/C, a full kitchen, fast wifi. Sarah was good at communicating with us, even from halfway around the world. Easy free street parking."
3876781,23425329,2014-12-01,20186122,Jim,"Gracy was a great place for our holiday weekend stay!  It has all the basics needed, clean and comfortable.  WiFi was excellent, has a full size fridge and bathroom is roomy.  Tub and hand shower were fine, different than the usual and worked great!  Had no issues with directions and keys for entry.  Neighborhood is very quiet, the only thing we really heard was the morning chime of the nearby church, very cool!  Bed was fine, although a bit squeaky, and plenty of room for suitcases and clothes.  There's a fantastic coffee shop within a couple blocks, Figure8, and makes for a pleasant morning walk.  Host was very cooperative and had no trouble communicating even though she is on the other side of the world!!  Would be glad to stay again!!  "
3876781,28437624,2015-03-23,7000970,Kevin,"Absolutely loved my stay at Gracy! The place was clean and more spacious than expected, the bed was comfy and the location was perfect for my trip down for SXSW — removed from the craziness but an easy walk to the East 6th hangs. Communication with Sarah was also a total breeze. Would highly recommend and look forward to staying there again on my next trip down to Austin!"
3876781,46065129,2015-09-07,26127654,Crystal,"The host was very warm and welcoming, connecting with me via email prior to the stay. Her directions were solid and the experience was great! My boyfriend and I loved little Gracy House. 

I loved the location-so close to everything you want to do and see in Austin. The backyard was very private and nice to sit on the porch in the morning. Would definitely go back to Gracy!

Coffee houses available in both directions of Chicon, and fun stuff to do on East 7th and 6th too! 

Also, I read some of the reviews stated there was a hand-held shower. The claw-foot bath tub now has an overhead shower that worked very well! 
"
3876781,48916066,2015-09-29,1866666,Erin,Such a great stay in Austin! Gracy is adorable!!!
3876781,50628218,2015-10-13,35286228,Charla,"Sarah was fabulous to stay in touch with. The house was darling, and the location was perfect! It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! ^^"
21120,39490,2010-05-02,111043,Bryan,Tammy is very friendly and keeps a clean and homey place.  It is non-smoking which was one of our requirements.  We (my wife and I) stayed for two days while attending my high school reunion.  We enjoyed our stay in the Austin area and our visit was enhansed by Tammy's hospitality.
21120,142672,2010-11-22,265874,John,"Comfortable, quiet accommodation.  Friendly hostess.  Immaculately clean.  Easy to get to from downtown Austin.  Would stay there again.
"
21120,198778,2011-03-14,410696,Dominique,"I had a great time. Tammy was helpful (let me in at the middle of the night, gave me directions) and her home is so comfortable and charming. I wish my home were so tasteful and organized! Better than a hotel!"
21120,200073,2011-03-15,426192,Nadav,"The accommodations were clean, spacious, and everything I needed and then some.  The hostess was sweet, kind, and provided excellent services.  A great stay and I'd easily rent from her again."

21120,211361,2011-03-28,377858,Alexandra,"I had a great stay in Tammy's house ! It was nice, clean, convinient. It is very quite in the area where she lives so i could hear beautiful (!) birds chirping in the morning when i woke up - i loved it :-)  When i came to Austin she even met me up in the airport. I m not saying - because i dont know - it s gonna happen to the other guests - it is just meant to show Tammy's attitude to her guests and her readiness to help! Thank you , Tammy, for a great stay ! PS: the dogs in the house are very friendly and cute!  "
21120,216336,2011-04-03,332058,Mary,"I wanted to try a different part of Austin, away from all of the hub bub of it all...the word that attracted me to Tammy's place was an ""oasis"" in her backyard. I found it in her backyard; a peaceful quiet spot, about 20 minutes by car to where all the action is. 
It was just what I needed; Tammy was friendly fun and respectful. I will certainly return in the future while visiting family in the area!"
21120,238011,2011-04-24,285031,Romy,Tammy is friendly and easy to get to know .  She has a wonderful home - clean and lovingly maintained.

21120,549317,2011-09-20,652852,Andrea,"Tammy was a wonderful host!!!  We ended up getting in very late, as we were at the ACL festival most of the day.  She got out of bed to show us the room and amenities, even though it was about one in the morning.  I would have been cranky, but she was nothing but nice.  Everything was wonderful, the room was beautiful and the bathroom was spotless.  She recommended a place to eat breakfast the next day that was off the beaten path so that we wouldn't have to fight the ACL crowds and it was fabulous!  Her dog Scout was a sweetheart and the backyard was beautiful.  Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it!"
21120,615022,2011-10-10,1166533,Julie,Had a wonderful stay. My host was very helpful with directions for driving around the city. She had great recommendations for wonderful places to eat and letting me know some of the Austin's highlights. My room was very clean as was her home.  Enjoyed watch the squirrels raid the bird feeder in the back yard.  Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here. Thanks Tammy
21120,642451,2011-10-18,1036912,Diego,"She was a really great host, with a lot of suggestions about where to go and what to do in Austin. The room was neat and comfy, the pets adorable and the environment was great. It was a cool experience"
21120,671406,2011-10-28,877333,Ann,"Oasis is right! I was in Austin for a conference and wanted a play to crash and decompress afterwards. This was perfect! I arrived, Tammy showed me the ropes, then it was like my home away from home. I was wiped out, so I enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL back yard area for a while to read, then zonked out early and slept until the morning, when I was able to relax, enjoy the yard again, and rejuvenate. I would absolutely stay here again next time I'm in Austin and highly recommend it."
21120,722072,2011-11-15,332058,Mary,"i stayed with Tammy for a week, while visiting my family. She has a peaceful place in a quiet location away from the business of the traffic. i have slept very well in her bed, the bathroom is handy and  i am enjoying it so much that i've made plans to return...
"
21120,736008,2011-11-21,213209,Kim,"Tammy was a fantastic host! As it was my first time in Austin, She was very helpful in explaining the area, she even gave me a list of suggestions that I can't wait to check out! Her place is quite simply magical and her precious dog, Scout, was enjoyable to have around! I was very comfortable during my stay, it was a pleasant experience for my arrival in a new city. "
21120,747789,2011-11-27,1426814,Jinzi,"That was my first time in Texas and It turned out that my choice was correct!  The host is fun, helpful and knowledgible. The place is clean spacious and beatiful. More than this, I really like the taste of her place,  and on my way back at the local store I bought the same carpet the same as hers!! ---- bring back a warm piece of TX!"
21120,758673,2011-12-01,1454625,Michael,"first time using airbnb - skeptical at first - very pleasantly surprised - Tammy was having guests over for a party but still offered room on short notice of few hours - super sweet dog, Scout, politely requesting more attention - and above all, a fantastic price"
21120,927912,2012-02-17,1168732,Dmitriy,Tammy was a WONDERFUL host and was very understanding and flexible with my busy schedule. I really appreciated the hospitality and comfortable environment. The dogs were nice to hang out with too :)

She has a beautiful, immaculately clean home in a very nice neighborhood, two of the cutest most friend dogs, a very chill cat, and overall she is just a very gracious and informative host.

21120,3826531,2013-03-18,5386841,James,The day I arrived in Austin I lost my wallet. Tammy was kind enough to take me where I needed to go to help fix my situation. The house is so spacious and clean and the pets are very pleasant. My only regret is I didn't get more time to spend in the awesome backyard.
21120,3935032,2013-03-28,5665157,Alleigh,The reservation was canceled 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
21120,4278244,2013-04-23,4454219,Michael,"Tammy is great, my flight got delayed 9 hours, meaning that I got in at 3:00am.  She's a total trooper and set an alarm to be awake for when I showed up.

Place was clean (and I'm unusually uptight about clean).  Price was great.  I only hope she and her friends enjoyed being at the track as much as I enjoyed showing them around.  "
21120,11181631,2014-03-24,11913366,Robert,"My wife Barbara and I went to Austin for business, and because of Tammy, it became a vacation!

Look at the photos - it's more lovely than that.
Read the comments - all true, plus great quiche.
The ""Peaceful Oasis in South Austin"" is the vacation home I've always wanted.
Go - relaxation is not optional, it's unavoidable!

21120,28399163,2015-03-23,16944551,James,"Tammy's Home was everything I had hoped it would be, and more.  The house is very comfortable, and the deck and back yard are like a private park.  I had a hectic schedule while visiting and didn't get a lot of time to visit with Tammy, but found her to be very hospitable and accommodating, as well as interesting.  I would definitely select Tammy for a return trip to Austin."
21120,30208016,2015-04-19,5582044,John,Tammy's home was a true oasis of relaxation. She was friendly and our conversations were very enjoyable. The room was very large and comfortable.

Her property is really relaxing and her backyard is like a haven for peace and tranquility.  I had a large bedroom and the bathroom was huge!! I definitely had plenty of space. If you like to cook you will find her kitchen to be fantastic...it's big and has everything you would ever need. Did I mention how clean her house is ???? It was impressive.  She is a super host, super cool and super nice. "

21120,51591036,2015-10-21,32377560,Tina,"Tammy is an incredible host! She taught me so much about Austin, and new things in general during my stay! The animals are so sweet! The place was seriously an Oasis of Relaxation for sure, especially the great tranquil energy in the backyard. Tammy knows exactly how to balance hosting/entertaining, with giving you your space and yet well-organized, so that everyone is on the same page with how things are done within the home. The space is exactly as described, but better. I made genuine friends here; I'd definitely & happily stay here again! "
21120,52952045,2015-11-02,46810333,James,"Tammy was great. She took care of me and made me feel very comfortable.
I'd stay there again with her for sure."
7707469,49650665,2015-10-05,17339150,Raha,Incredibly charming home with an absolutely  enchanting backyard. Sarah was quick to respond to any and all questions. Even left us a bottle of wine upon arrival!
660425,2629628,2012-10-16,1579561,Kellie, I had a great experience at The Casita for Austin City Limits Music Festival weekend. My friends and I felt completely at home. Gisela greeted us right away and made our stay very comfortable. The apartment is spacious and adorable. I would definitely recommend staying at The (email hidden) if you are looking for a great host and an amazing location!
660425,2704772,2012-10-24,2683457,Trisha,Gisela was available and responsive. The Casita is very clean and comfortable and has everything that you may need. My husband arrived early and Gisela helped him check in 3 hours earlier than we had planned. I recommend staying at the Casita.
660425,2939833,2012-11-22,2413573,Terence,"This House was a perfect place for a stay in Austin. Clean, close to the city , easy access from the highways.  I have zero complaints. 100% perfect."
660425,3105622,2012-12-17,3683298,Michael,"Awesome place.  Gisela was great to work with, the place was cool, clean, and comfortable.  Killer location, couldn't ask for anything more.  The space upstairs is a workout space some hours of the day but it didn't bother us."
660425,3730923,2013-03-09,247494,Rebecca,"A really nice apartment in a great location. I walked down to Zilker park the day I arrived and enjoyed the kite festival, and throughout the week it was great to be just a few minutes from downtown. The apartment was immaculate and comfortable, and I really appreciated that the fridge had a few things to get me started. Gisela was really flexible with my arrival time, too, and easy to get in touch with if I needed during my stay. I look forward to staying here again!"
660425,3813012,2013-03-18,1484904,Elizabeth,"This was an awesome place to stay.  It is very clean, organized, spacious, and in a safe quiet neighborhood.  There is a bus stop just a short walk away.  There are many great restaurants near by. I strongly reccomend staying here."
660425,3930879,2013-03-28,3676964,Rachel,"A friend and I met in Austin for a little pre-baby getaway before my baby's born in a couple months. We were looking for a comfortable, home-like place to stay and found just that! The Casita was the perfect fit. It's clean, modern, quiet and maybe even a little better than home! Gisela was a wonderful host--available when needed, but not overbearing. And, she was kind enough to leave me a full-body pillow for easy sleeping with a baby bump!"
660425,3981113,2013-04-01,4000801,Glenda,"Gisela's house was spotless and provided every anemity.  Gisela was lovely and welcomed us warmly, while allowing us all the privacy we wanted.  We enjoyed our second stay just as much as our first stay with Gisela."
660425,4053650,2013-04-06,4930794,Alyssa,"Helpful, pleasant, clean and nice!  We would recommend this place!"
660425,4256872,2013-04-22,5846199,Catherine,"The Casita was a wonderful place to stay for weekend in Austin.  The location was perfect.  We were traveling with our baby daughter, so we were able to walk down the street to a wonderful playground and park.  The house is comfortable and clean and spacious enough for a family of 3 (and probably several more.)  Gisela thought of everything we would need.

The only negative thing was that my husband (who is 6'3"") had a hard time fitting in the bed.  His feet hit the foot board making for a few rough nights.

Other than that everything was great!  I would highly recommend staying here."
660425,4677881,2013-05-20,5466355,Mary,"The Casita was the perfect size for 3 people.  It is located in a quiet neighborhood close to Barton Springs and everything we love in ATX.  The Casita is beautiful and clean.  Gisela thought of everything, diet cokes, the forgotten toiletries, extra towels, and good coffee!"
660425,5219766,2013-06-18,6803292,Michael,Check in was quick and easy. The place was great.  This was my first AirBnB experience and it all worked out well.
660425,5318979,2013-06-24,6539701,Susan,"Great place to stay.  Immaculate, nicely decorated, and very comfortable.  My son and I stayed here for three nights June 20-23. It was 95 degrees outside and it was lovely to come ""home"" to such a nice, air conditioned place.  We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."
660425,5676690,2013-07-11,6549624,Brenda,"The ""Casita"" was very clean, comfortable and spacious.  There were plenty of snack foods and drinks awaiting us and were available on a honor system basis.  Was a nice touch. The beds were comfortable and I received a good night's sleep. "
660425,6117486,2013-07-30,1413868,Hope,"Lovely, lively hood. Clean and comfortable digs. Thoughtful hostess.  Recommended! "
660425,7353196,2013-09-16,8427652,Rachael,"The place was very quaint and beautiful. Great location and Gisela was amazing. My girlfriend accidentally left her clothes at the house before we left, and Gisela was kind enough to mail it back to us! Highly recommend for anyone who is interested in a place to stay in Austin. We will definitely be staying at The Casita on Hether St. again."
660425,7794668,2013-10-03,3248386,Drew,"Gisela was an awesome host! She was more than helpful in every way. The place itself was fantastic, exactly as described in the listing and photos.

You can't really find a better location in Austin. Easy access to downtown, Zilker Park, Barton Springs, Whole Foods, etc. It's also a great little neighborhood for taking a walk. There is a playground for younger kids right up the street.

Bed was also great. Sometimes on Airbnb you can get some really cheap beds. Not the case here. I know a previous reviewer mentioned they had length issues, but I had none at all, and I'm really tall (6' 7"")."
660425,7912285,2013-10-08,6089220,Isabela,"Me and other 3 friends stayed with gisela and it was great! She's a great host and the location is perfect, it's close to everything and of you need something she will help you! Best place ever, if i go back to austin this would be the place to say in"
660425,8077098,2013-10-15,3799475,Seth,"We had a fantastic weekend in an amazing city and Gisela and the Casita were fundamental to the experience. Clean, thoughtful amenities, and the perfect size for two couples or four people with lots of room to cook and relax. Not that we hung out at the place much with so much to see and do and hear at ACL and Austin in general... 

Only a 15 minute walk from Zilker, 20-25 minutes from downtown, quick and affordable cab rides if needed to Antone's and SoCo, and great transit options right on Lamar. Anyone coming to Austin would find this place perfectly situated. And Gisela is a great host; there if you need her, but not a helicopter host. We'll be back to Austin for sure, and this is the first place I'd think of to stay. Thanks Gisela!"
660425,8221701,2013-10-21,8801464,Sheryl,"My husband and I were in Austin for a wedding in Dripping Springs. The location of the Casita was perfect, only a 40 minute drive to Camp Lucy. The casita was immaculate, spacious and equipped with anything you might need. And with  Kerbey Lane, Torchy's Tacos and Matt's El Rancho close by what's not to love? We would definitely stay here again."
660425,8427343,2013-10-30,8481740,Jeremy,Fabulous apartment in brilliant location. Great value for money and I will definitely be booking again in the future!

We were promptly met at the door when we arrived, shown around the space, and even given some excellent dinner recommendations. I would highly recommend staying here if you're in Austin - the convenient location and wonderful amenities were top notch!"
660425,8995791,2013-12-01,9208505,Martin,"Everything was completely painless and the house was just what I expected from the description.

We used it for my 82 year old father to stay with a care giver for a few days, and we had very specific requirements, all of which were met.

Thanks, Gisela!"
660425,9566330,2014-01-02,153031,Shannon,Very nice apt. in a convenient location.  Gisela was very welcoming and informative about the property as the general south Austin area.
660425,10157642,2014-02-03,8031991,Matt,"Wonderful stay.  The casita was very clean and nice.  We had a mix-up with the check-in time, and Gisela went over-and-above to make it work for us.

Definitely recommended."
660425,10422588,2014-02-18,11126139,Eunice,Really cute spot very close to the park and cute dining spots. Gisela was very helpful in letting us know of different activities we could do in the area.

660425,11219901,2014-03-25,4000801,Glenda,We just enjoyed our third visit to The Casita.  The home was spotless and well-supplied as always.  Gisela consistently provides a flawless experience in a very convenient location.  Thanks Gisela!
660425,11376046,2014-03-31,13337634,Beth AKA B.,"This place was our first stay from Airbnb and it was the perfect place!

Gisela was an absolutely wonderful host and the place was clean, organized and spotless! 

The location is amazing and near just about anything you need. We plan on staying again when in Austin!

Thank you so much Gisela! Hope to see you soon!
"
660425,11511300,2014-04-06,879543,Emily,"Beautiful, well maintained little Austin hideaway!  Quick drive over to the abundance of South Congress, easily walkable to tons of stuff on South Lamar.  Would highly recommend!  Gisela is a great host- helpful and went out of her way to get us info and deals on stuff we were interested in."
660425,11664024,2014-04-11,12974850,Cherry,"Our stay at the Casita was wonderful. The place was centrally located to everywhere we wanted and needed to go which made it very convenient for us. The Casita was very clean and very well maintained, with lovely touches for the guests such as a welcome gift, fresh flowers, and toiletries. Gisela was a wonderful host, accommodating our late arrival. The only head's up that I would point out is that one can hear the train when it goes by. It's not overly loud but for light sleepers, it may potentially be a problem. Other than that, it was a wonderful flat in a lovely neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again. "
660425,11736906,2014-04-14,11340899,Katherine,"The casita was perfect! Spotless and cozy, with all the comforts of home. In a great location too - a cute and quiet neighborhood that's walking distance to cool stuff in town. Would stay again and recommend to friends. Thanks, Gisela!"
660425,12346251,2014-04-29,1266563,Kate,"My husband, our adult daughter and I stayed 3 nights at the Casita. It's a comfortable, compact 2-bedroom flat with fully equipped kitchen. If you walk or run, the neighborhood is a lovely place to explore and you're not far from Lamar for a straight route to downtown Austin. Zilker Park is nearby; Moonlight Bakery is an easy walk for breakfast pastries of all sorts or good bread. So the location is perfect!"
660425,12980616,2014-05-16,14562829,Sherry,"We visited Austin for nine days to see our son and granddaughter and wanted to stay in an urban neighborhood that was walkable. Gisela's Casita was perfect, it's close to restaurants and bars, there is even a playground close by that our granddaughter loved. Walking through the neighborhood is a delight. The place is very clean, bright, and well decorated. It looks just like the pictures. It has everything you need for a long stay. Gisela even brought us some lawn chairs so we could sit out front and enjoy the Austin vibe. We found the bed to be a little small, we are used to sleeping in a king sized bed. You can hear the train, but it didn't bother us, we thought it sounded romantic. If you get a chance, eat at Odd Duck on South Lamar, they use a lot of locally sourced food. A great place, in a great neighborhood, in a great city."
660425,13074626,2014-05-19,13310242,Lisa,We had a great time in Austin and loved staying at the Casita on Hether.  Gisela even some how arranged for the perfect weather while we were there.  This house was in a nice location near outdoor locations like Barton Springs and downtown Austin.  It was easy to get cabs or take a bus - but if you have a car there is parking available too.  The neighborhood had some great restaurants too.
660425,13418489,2014-05-27,14081976,Victoria,We had an amazing time. Gisela was warm and welcoming! 
660425,14339154,2014-06-17,12369285,Holly,Our stay at the Casita on Hether Street was perfect.  The casita was modern and tastefully decorated. We appreciated extras like a computer and printer so that we were able to print out our boarding passes.  The neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to accessing downtown Austin.
660425,14654784,2014-06-23,16471176,Dominic,"This was the perfect place to lay our heads for our business trip. The house was very clean and tidy. Great neighborhood, close to everything in Austin!"

660425,21331535,2014-10-15,10923485,Christie,"I booked Gisela's beautiful home for work colleges of mine. She was very quick and through with her responses to questions and emails. John who stayed there loved it as it was quiet, the neighbors were really great and it was close to everything - especially Torchy's! The amenities were new and spot on. Gisela was very accommodating and my guys loved her. "

660425,23206099,2014-11-25,17298719,Susan,"Gisela greeted us upon our arrival, and showed us into her fabulous casita. She had local Austin info and a restaurant binder readily available.  
The casita was immaculate, even better than described in the listing.  Everything was new, uncluttered and easy to use.  Linens and bathroom amenities were lovely.
We loved the neighborhood.  It was easy to navigate our way around the city.  Everything was close by.
I wish all of my airbnb experiences are as good as this one at Gisellas',"
660425,24671571,2015-01-01,5002666,John,We were very happy with stay.  The home was lovely and very clean.  Gisela was lovely and very helpful.  The location was perfect for going downtown and for restaurants.  Great to have a parking space too.  This was a very positive experience.  Thanks Gisela
660425,25313974,2015-01-12,24111517,Glen,The Casita was a wonderful find.  Perfect for our trip.  Gisela contacted me prior to our trip and let us know the weather.  She met us upon arrival and was very friendly.  The event we came for had a postponement and Gisela was very helpful and accommodating.
660425,25611757,2015-01-20,25585937,Susan,"My friend and I really enjoyed our stay. The casita was perfect for two friends or couples with the two bedrooms - and comfortable beds. The casita was very clean and ""user friendly"" and very close to downtown and all it has to offer. Gisela was very friendly and helpful, and reviewed everything with us when we arrived. I think the presentation on airbnb is very accurate, and our experience was even better than I was expecting. Thanks for a great stay! Would highly recommend.  "
660425,25999513,2015-02-01,24974797,Annie,"Gisela was phenomenal! She was welcoming and walked us through the Casita and offered to help us with anything we needed. The Casita was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable for me and my boyfriend. The location is close to downtown but still in a rural area. I will definitely recommend the Castia to my family and friends whenever they visit Austin!"
660425,26606114,2015-02-16,25652786,Liz,"The Casita on Hether St. is a lovely rental in a great neighborhood. Gisela was very welcoming. I would stay there again.

660425,29611647,2015-04-10,28413158,Melissa,"Great stay!  I booked the Casita for my parents. We live around the corner, so it was really convenient for them to be able to walk back and forth instead of driving to and from a hotel.  Perfect from start to finish - they loved it.  Gisela is a wonderful host.  This was my first Airbnb experience and it was terrific.  I'm certain my folks will want to stay here next time they visit. Thanks so much!"
660425,29846137,2015-04-13,9653595,Ben,"Gisela was terrific and the her place is better than the pictures, not there is anything wring with them. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place in Austin that's near a cool park and great restaurants and bars I'd say do yourself a favor and go with this spot. My dad and I were in town for Moto GP at COTA and we loved coming home every day after being at the track every day and relaxing in this place. Really just wonderful setting and I think I will look to try and book this again with Gisela. Who is super friendly and cool by the way not to mention super easy to communicate with, pleasant and helpful. "
660425,30285782,2015-04-20,8524888,Amanda,"My husband and I stayed at the Casita for our anniversary. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Gisela is a kind and gracious host. She met us when we arrived and walked us through the house. She was available to us during our trip but we were also given sufficient privacy. The Casita had everything we needed. We really only needed to bring person items. The house was very clean and comfortable. It was in a quiet neighborhood. The Casita was exactly what we wanted, and needed, during our time in Austin. We hope to return soon! "
660425,31336899,2015-05-04,29963415,Cathie,The Casita on Hether was fabulous. It  was spotless and just like in the photos. It was more than we hoped for and in a great location. Gisela was friendly and helpful. She even brought us some bug spray when we were sitting in the yard. I would definitely recommend her casita to all my friends. 
660425,32250823,2015-05-16,30360564,Jill,"Comfortable, tasteful, and spotlessly clean. The living room is on the small side and very basic, but the bedrooms are nice size and the kitchen is well sized for eat-in. Neighborhood is gorgeous with lots of great eating spots. There is a martial arts class, 2X a week, held on the floor above the Casita but class is late morning and late afternoon, so no issue with noise - and there wasn't much noise anyway. Loved the basket of toiletries- nice touch of luxury. Gisele was a wonderful hostess. Overall a really great place."
660425,33088590,2015-05-25,29529694,Lance,My host was wonderful. The location and description were accurate and I had a wonderful trip to Austin. A++++++++++++ for the Casita!

660425,34062424,2015-06-04,30969436,Kathy,"Gisela was a great host. She met me to show me around the house and give me the key and had a few print outs for restaurants in the area. 

The beds are very comfortable with high-quality sheets. I love the pebble floor in the shower.

The whole house is cozy and was perfect for my friend and I to use as a base for our mini vacation. 

There are lots of cool things about a mile walk away and it's safe to walk in the aera.

Be sure to check out Bouldin Creek Cafe for a terrific breakfast, Thai Fresh for great vegan and gluten-free ice cream (try the Thai tea) and baked goods. They are on Hether but about 1 mile from the casita.

My South Congress favs: Snack Bar Austin is great for dinner or just a snack and Guero’s Taco Bar has the best salsa verde and tacos. It was about a $7 Uber ride back to the Casita. "
660425,34433365,2015-06-08,30510368,Rhonda,"The accommodations were very clean and beautiful. The location was convenient to downtown as well as to freeways. Quiet neighborhood.

She greeted us with an adorable gift basket and went over all of the house rules and policies. The location was perfect; it allowed us to walk or catch a cheap uber anywhere in Austin. Linens were clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this place to anyone! Thanks Gisela! "
4067237,51415493,2015-10-19,19362458,Austin,"Dominic was extremely friendly and available.  His place is amazing, its worth every penny.  It is right in the heart of Down town with the convenience of being right by a major highway.  Then there is the view... it is absolutely amazing.  The host and the place it self are both top notch.  I can not speak highly enough of this Air BnB. 10 out of 10. I am already planning my trip back to this place.  "

2292322,15419516,2014-07-08,3868334,Arlin,"I loved the cottage.  Everything was exactly as described.  I walked to/from the convention center and felt perfectly safe, even in the evenings.  In addition, I left my computer power cord behind, and the host was kind enough to send it on to me.  A great experience!"
2292322,28122724,2015-03-18,26442363,Michael,"David was a great host. He provided everything I needed. The cottage is well kept and the description of the property is spot on. David kept it simple and was responsive when I had questions.

The neighborhood is not far from downtown and in a decent area. It was a pretty easy walk from the downtown area and the neighborhood was quite. I didn't feel uncomfortable walking around the area at all.

2292322,28313704,2015-03-22,27274949,Arielle,"Everything was great - David left keys for us and we had everything we needed when we got there. Convenient to Convention Center, etc. for SXSW. "
2292322,29446481,2015-04-07,3848533,Melanie,Although we didn't meet David he was very responsive and kind. The place wasn't as clean as one may have hoped ( wood floors were very dirty and you would not want to walk on them barefoot).  There was also a lack of tables in the bedroom which wasn't too big of a deal we just put our phones and chargers on the floor.  Location was close to downtown which was nice for sightseeing.  Overall good experience.  
2292322,29697504,2015-04-11,1606211,Pj,"My girlfriend and I had a great time staying at David's place. It's on a really quiet street and it was easy to walk to coffeeshops and restaurants. Downtown is about a 30 minute walk or a really quick bus ride. 

David was a great host -- he communicates via the Airbnb app, but was very responsive when we had questions. 

The house is as described. It was more than enough room for my girlfriend and me. There's a fantastic front and back porch. The house is kept clean and it's got all the amenities described. 

We'd definitely stay again the next time around. "
2292322,30061123,2015-04-16,1810618,Adam,Amazing. We booked very last minute and David was super accommodating. Excellent location too. 
2292322,30218238,2015-04-19,3617238,Katie&Ben,"My 2 friends and I were in town for 3 days for a conference and this was perfect for us. I would definitely stay here again. Overall, awesome experience! David's house was in a great location, in a quiet little neighborhood, but walking distance (about 15-20 minutes) to downtown and 30-40 minutes walking to south congress. There a very nice café about 5 minutes walking - Cenote - had a great café au lait and breakfast burrito there. David's house has plenty of street parking available right out front - never a problem. Comfortable beds, very well decorated spacious 2 bedroom house with great front and back outdoor spaces. There is 1 very oversized bathroom with a clean shower - good water pressure; also a smaller half bath. We spent a lot of our time on the front porch - great lighting! Check-in/out was very smooth; very good communication with David. There were also water bottles in the refrigerator for us with was very much appreciated and utilized. We had a great stay and would highly recommend it!"
2292322,30585625,2015-04-24,31437104,Maxwell,David's house was great! The location is excellent and we walked to 6th street on both sides of the highway as well as Franklin's BBQ. The house is really in great shape. Clean and comfortable; the pictures don't do it justice!
2292322,30650729,2015-04-25,19800646,Kate,The house was beautiful and exactly what the listing described. My cousins and I just spent one night there for a Bachelorette party and the house was the perfect distance to downtown. We took an Uber home at the end of the night. The house is kind of rustic and there's a nice front yard and a huge kitchen and a beautiful master bathroom. It was a really nice place to stay for a night. 
2292322,31105953,2015-05-02,26048155,Natalie,"Our experience at 1401 Canterbury was a great one. David was very considerate of our needs (we were arriving very late) and everything was very painless and straightforward. The space was big, airy and comfortable. 
The location is fantastic, and we did most of our exploring by foot. 
The only drawback was the WiFi. It was very weak and we'd have to sometimes hold our phones and laptops right by the kitchen window (the router seems to be in the back house). And since we were coming from Canada, data was pretty crucial. 
All-in-all, great space and great trip."
2292322,31622776,2015-05-07,32680576,Laura,The location and house were great! I really enjoyed the front porch and yard. Everything was as described.
2292322,31903391,2015-05-11,14296248,Noelle,"We had a great time at David's home. It was very clean, cozy, and in a great neighborhood! We especially liked sitting out on his lovely porch. 
David was easy to communicate with and always responded to our inquiries quickly. "
2292322,32365979,2015-05-17,28876878,Pamela,"Host was able to answer all our questions before and during our trip.  Very convenient location and easy to drive to South Congress, 6th Street, and Rainey.  We chose to drive versus walk, but definitely doable from this location.  The home was perfect for our needs and we would not hesitate to rent again in the future.  Thanks!"
2292322,32900306,2015-05-23,22526030,Melissa,Great house in a perfect location! Easy access to downtown and surrounded by restaurants. Clean house with plenty of parking. Only downside was the wifi access was pretty poor. 
2292322,33281819,2015-05-26,9831466,Sarah,"David was easily reachable throughout my stay and amenable to my early check in and late check out, which was very much appreciated. The location was also fantastic - 25 minute walk/$5 Uber ride from downtown. I stayed at his place for three nights with two other friends, and our visit was inundated with bad weather and rain. That said, this place is not conducive to staying in. There's not WiFi or cable; in fact, only 2-3 channels actually work. One of my friends swore that there was a washer and dryer listed on the page when we booked but was crossed out after we arrived, which was a big disappointment because that was one of the reasons we booked this place. We also couldn't use the dishwasher, and there was no sponge to wash dishes. We arrived right after other guests left, so I understand that everything was cleaned hastily, but it would have been nice to have a new bar of soap in the shower or the floors vacuumed since we couldn't walk barefoot without dirt on our feet after a few minutes. I wish I had more positive things to say, but it was really just an average experience at the house.  "
2292322,35015476,2015-06-14,6644557,Jason,"Great communication, lovely home that's super convenient. Will book with David again if I have the chance"
2292322,36812061,2015-07-01,33210559,Karen,We really enjoyed staying here.  The neighborhood is nice and quiet and yet it is convenient to the downtown area.
2292322,37188766,2015-07-05,34921475,Garred,"Host was very flexible with arrival/departure times, and very responsive / easy to work with. Home was very nice and in a good location."
2292322,38923544,2015-07-19,233478,Eric,Comfortable old house perfect for me and a coworker while in town for work.  Walkable to Rainey Street.
2292322,39865682,2015-07-26,5868018,Dean,The place is great. Perfect location for everything Austin. David made it easy to check in and out. We look forward to renting again. 
2292322,40240426,2015-07-29,16306126,Alex,"Had a great experience staying at David's home.  The house was comfortable and spacious, with a big kitchen and front porch.  The neighborhood is terrific, with so many fantastic restaurants and bars within walking distance.  David was very easy to contact when we were arranging check-in -- would definitely stay here again."
2292322,50453501,2015-10-12,22099641,Sam,"Excellent house, it was being cleaned when I arrived (early) and it was absolutely spotless. Great location not too far from downtown. David even gave us a ride in to sixth street and saved us cab fare. Would definitely stay again!"
4333425,22375585,2014-11-04,22628645,Steve,"This is a terrific property!  Location is 10 minutes from downtown and close to groceries, theater, anything you need.  Molly made sure we had everything to make us comfortable and feel at home...including roaming deer and an armadillo in the back yard each morning!  Definitely recommend the property."
4333425,22613565,2014-11-10,10936841,Sarah,"Molly was a wonderful host.  Her home is in a quiet, family neighborhood in the Westgate area.  It takes about 10-15 minutes to drive into downtown Austin.  Molly met me at her home to give me the keys.  Her home is clean and comfortable.  She also provided us with an extra air mattress just in case our group needed it.  If I needed to reach her, I was able to text her.  Thanks Molly for a great stay at your home! :)"
4333425,28063030,2015-03-16,8868634,Ben,Great place to stay in a great location! Molly was responsive and very helpful. Would stay here again. 
4333425,28130874,2015-03-18,1865403,Jeremy,"Molly's place was great for our group.
Check in / communication was easy & we met Molly on the way out which was nice. A+"
4333425,28393192,2015-03-23,4167970,Andrw,This house really matches with the photos and description. I was very delighted by its comfort and open spaces. Molly was always in touch and replying to my messages which made our stay way easier. I'm very excited about booking this lovely place as soon as I can...! 
4333425,30313375,2015-04-20,10394368,Valerie,"We had such a great stay here! This house was very comfortable for our group of 7. All the rooms are beautiful, bright and clean. The decorations are simple and very pretty, you don't have to deal with any clutter. The kitchen was stocked with all the cooking supplies you need for a big group meal. The patio backs up to a creek so you don't even feel like your in a neighborhood in the middle of a city. We were close enough to downtown to do all the fun activities we wanted and have a great place to escape to! Molly made everything really easy and I would definitely stay here again - very highly recommended!!"
4333425,31286511,2015-05-04,25610559,Arthur,This was a wonderful (First time Air BnB) experience for us. Molly was very welcoming and friendly. The house is lovely and the neighborhood is quiet and well kept.
4333425,37783027,2015-07-10,387280,Mj,"Williamson Creek Hideaway was a great place to house visiting family of 5.  The middle room was perfect for the two kids.  House was spacious and comfortable.  It is only being used as a rental which for me, makes it an ideal place to rent over an owner occupied house.  Location is great if you are looking to stay close to downtown Austin."
4333425,49770804,2015-10-06,23856851,Paige,"Molly's house was great. We were able to find the house easily and had no problem getting in. The house was clean with plenty on space for all 8 of us. The neighborhood is in a great location, only a few minutes from everything we needed. I would recommend staying here if you are spending the weekend in Austin. "
4333425,50429384,2015-10-12,6562731,Veronica,"Loved location of home, quiet and convenient. Layout is great for big groups. Really appreciated how easy everything was and how accessible Molly was communication wise. Would definitely recommended staying here :)"
7690676,50553179,2015-10-12,45327913,Kristof,"If you want a place to stay in Austin, Dave is your guy! The bedroom was huge and the bathroom was very clean. Dave tried to make our stay as good as it gets. A cold beer from the moment you get in, homemade breakfast taco's and fresh micheladas. Dave was the perfect host and made our weekend even better. With his open, intelligent and helpful personality, he made our first Airbnb experience a win. Touchdown!"
7690676,51029275,2015-10-17,8809623,Ewelina,"I definitely recommend staying at Dave's beautiful house. My bedroom was spacious and very cozy, whole place is welcoming, nicely furnished (+ tons of great books), super clean, has a well equipped kitchen - and the terrace! You'll love the terrace! 
Dave is a great person who will make you feel like at home (and will make sure you have everything you need), also if you are looking for a quiet place with privacy, this is the right address.
Neighborhood is safe & quiet, there is HEB and a bus stop nearby. 
Another great airbnb experience :)"
1195493,15081836,2014-07-01,1965097,Tom,"This was my first experience with airbnb. I usually stay with friends when I am in Austin, but that option was not available this time around. I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived, but Monica made me feel right at home. She was very warm and friendly, and she filled me in about the apartment and the surrounding area.

The guest room listed in the ad was being cleaned, so Monica put me up in the master bedroom. The room was spacious. There was a queen sized bed, small couch and Papasan chair. The attached bath was quite large - bigger than some hotel rooms I have stayed in. The bed was very comfortable. The view was great (my window overlooked a courtyard with a swimming pool).

There was a large kitchen available for cooking but I didn't use it much - just the coffee pot in the morning. I prefer to eat out when I travel. Fortunately, there were several solid restaurants and bars a very short walk from the apartment. I never had to get in my car.

Overall, I thought it was a fantastic deal. It's a great location. The apartment complex is very nice, it is very close to downtown Austin, and there is lots to do within a short walking distance. The itself apartment was very clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Most of the time I had the place to myself as Monica was either working or out with friends (we did watch a world cup game together though).

I will definitely stay here again when I come to Austin. I just need to come up with an excuse to tell my friends to explain why I do not want to stay with them the next time I am in town. :-) "
1195493,15290886,2014-07-06,17426646,Boya,"This is my best B&B experience. I lived at Monica's well-decorated apartment for 5 days. I feel really comfortable and lucky to stay there, as like staying at home. Even though Monica was busy and tired in working, she is still talkative and informative. We have really good chats about traveling, local restaurants and lifestyles. We also had a nice morning downtown and riverside biking ride on Saturday. We stopped to eat some good traditional Indian foods!!! Monica is also kind and helpful. She drove me to buy some necessities goods and helped me to move my luggages. I appreciate my days with this lovely and kind lady. 
###Strongly recommend it!!!###"
1195493,15384330,2014-07-07,2857893,Stephen,"Monica's place was comfortable, clean and centrally located. Her attention to detail was appreciated. I would definitely stay again in the future!"
1195493,15608051,2014-07-12,9269259,Lori,Monica was an excellent host.  She made me feel welcome and even offered to share her meals whenever she cooked.  
1195493,15851575,2014-07-16,17451769,Lisa,"Monica is an excellent host. This was my first time using Airbnb and if everyone else with listings could be half as nice and accommodating as Monica I may never stay in a hotel again! The apartment is lovely, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with plenty of space for guests to settle in. The room I stayed in had an enormous closet and a giant bathroom with large tub -- perfect for short or long stays. I also enjoyed the pool directly out back and the safe garage parking. Monica was easily accessible and very kindly accommodated all the twists and turns that worked their way into my travel schedule. I cannot recommend highly enough for a friendly and comfortable stay in Austin!"
1195493,16140352,2014-07-22,17525451,Vanessa,Everything is as Monica describes. I felt very welcomed. The room and the bathroom was very clean. *AND GIRLS IF YOU FORGET YOUR HAIR DRYER SHE HAS ONE THERE FOR YOU TO USE* She also had towels for us to use. Lots of closet space and comfy chairs. The pool was just outside the patio. Shame I didnt get to take a swim. I didnt see Monica bc of our schedules but she was great. She bought a few things for us to have breakfast and gave us extra tp in case we needed it. Shes very nice. I wish we had interracted more. 
1195493,16189622,2014-07-22,2972316,Rich,"Monica is an excellent host and her room is tops in Austin Airbnb--clean, comfortable with modern furnishings decorated in great taste. I have stayed here several times in the past. The location is super--easy access to UT and central city. Monica is a friendly person and kind.  Great for visitors or on business. I will be definitely be back. "
1195493,21502041,2014-10-18,20857860,Margie,The reservation was canceled 12 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
1195493,25138120,2015-01-07,1302771,Leah,"Nicky was a wonderful host that did a lot to make us feel welcome. We arrived on New Year's Eve and she offered to pick us up at the airport. How amazing is that?! The apartment was lovely and very comfortable with floor to ceiling windows, plenty of drawer space and a beautiful bathroom. Plus Nicky left us some champagne in our room for a 2015 toast which was so above and beyond amazing of her to do. 

The neighborhood was also perfect, and just a 5 min. walk to Rainey Street, which ended up being our favorite part of Austin. It's an awesome area where there old houses have been converted into bars and restaurants. Not only that, but the apartment is also right next to Lady Bird Lake which has a great boardwalk that you can walk or bike around (B-cycle station right outside the front door). And if you don't mind walking, like us, Downtown Austin (and 6th street) are only a 25-30 min walk away which is super convenient.  

Not only is it a great location, Nicky and Tom invited us out to dinner with them multiple times, gave us TONS of recommendations on what to do in Austin, and really made us feel welcome in their home. Plus at the end of the trip, Nicky gave us a ride back to the airport, which again was so above and beyond what I expected. Thanks to them both for a wonderful time! We really appreciated the hospitality. "
1195493,25319922,2015-01-12,24673464,Pamela,"Nicky was such an amazing host! She picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. She took us on a tour of Rainey Street and downtown showing us bars and restaurants. She made her apartment ours and made us feel right at home. Her apartment is beautiful and very clean. I think she went above and beyond as a host. Wonderful experience, wonderful host, wonderful person! Thank you, Nicky. We will be back.
"
1195493,25471006,2015-01-17,7432707,Lorrayne,Everything was great - lots of thoughtful touches like breakfast and extra blankets. The space was nice and private. Nicely decorated. 
1195493,25888289,2015-01-28,5693166,Kathy,We had the best time at Nicky's place in Austin.   Super location with wonderful amenities and exactly how it was described on the Airbnb site.  She was very helpful in giving us the best things to see and what to do!
1195493,26675770,2015-02-17,11943020,Greg,"Nicky was so kind and welcoming even though we couldn't get to her place until 1am. She continuously checked in on us via text to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful and in an amazing location near a grocery store and prominent bar area. It is very quiet, clean, and has a beautiful view of the river and downtown. I highly recommend this AirBnB to anyone who wants to have an amazing and relaxing time in Austin!"
1195493,27441172,2015-03-04,2491276,Jen,"Our stay with Nicky was awesome! The apartment is in an excellent central location... It was so easy to get to all the different areas we wanted to explore in Austin with trails along the river right out the front door.  The Rainey St. area was a neat pocket of the city. The apartment itself was very clean and spacious. Nicky was a lovely, very accommodating host... she was easy to get a hold of and was able to meet us right when we arrived. She also picked up some fruit and snacks for us to enjoy during our stay as well and offered many great suggestions for things to see/eat/do. I would highly recommend staying with Nicky to anyone visiting Austin!"
1195493,27885357,2015-03-14,682021,Stephanie,"Nicky and Tom helped make my first visit to Austin a really memorable one! This apartment is located in the perfect location- right on Rainey Street, which is a lively neighborhood filled with local restaurants, cafes and bars with live music. Also just a short 10 minute walk downtown. The building was steps away from the Butler Hike and Bike Trail, where I took a ride using Austin's Bike Share program down to Alta's Cafe, which has great coffee and a patio right on the riverfront. 
Nicky and Tom were very warm and welcoming hosts, and the apartment is just beautiful- lovely views of Austin, spacious and stylishly decorated. 

I would definitely stay here again the next time I'm in Austin!


"
1195493,28117913,2015-03-18,6676185,Mickey,"Nicky was super friendly and took me for a little neighborhood tour for my first night even I was arrived her place pretty late. Her place is located in the center of what's happening and all those cool places are within the walking distance. Her place is super clean and the bed room is comfortable and bathroom was nice and, well you can have a nice view, even! I am highly recommend her place and Nicky for your Austin trip. "
1195493,28327125,2015-03-22,28242051,Paula,"Nicky fue muy atenta y amable en todo momento. El piso tiene una ubicación excepcional, decorado con muy buen gusto, espacioso y acogedor. Todo perfecto. Nos sentimos como en casa! Muy recomendable para visitar Austin."
1195493,28539934,2015-03-25,1360518,Chelsea,"We had such a great stay in Austin. The space was so nice, clean, and welcoming. The host was great, very accommodating, especially because I needed to use the kitchen everyday. I would be surprised if you could find a better place to stay in town. "
1195493,28887909,2015-03-31,23521870,Michelle,"We had a great time at Nicky's apartment! The location was perfect, close to the river, Rainey St (where all the best bars are), a grocery store within a block, and great view of the city. Nicky was very kind and gave us plenty of advice on what to do and see. I would highly recommend!"
1195493,29327418,2015-04-06,6593041,Jared,Place was very clean and in a great location. Nicky was super accommodating and made special arrangements for my late checkout on my departure day. I would definitely stay with her again.
1195493,29846671,2015-04-13,29122304,James,"I was immediately made to feel welcome at Nicky's place. She had food in the fridge, a number of fresh towels in the bathroom and a great selection of tourist information available. Nicky invited me out to one of Austin's best craft beer places and I definitely felt at ease staying in her place.
  It was a very easy to get to with a cab from the airport costing $30 including tip. The area is brilliant and I was able to walk around most of the city without much trouble. Rainey Street itself has some great bars which are very relaxed and a great place to grab a bite to eat.
  I used the bikes a few times and they are suitable for getting around on the nearby lake pathway as well as through downtown. Having access to a bike meant I was able to get by without feeling like I needed a car.

OVERALL
I would happily stay in this place again and have already recommended it to a friend who is thinking of coming to Austin"
1195493,30157992,2015-04-18,30503101,Chinmay,"Nicky proved to be a great host for my first ever Airbnb experience! She has got a great apartment with nice view, as mentioned in the description, in one of the most happening areas of Austin. Also, she went out of her way to make me feel comfortable, showing places around Austin and even being kind enough to bring me a take-out from one of the good Indian places in Austin! I highly recommend Nicky's place and will whole heartedly stay at her place again, if I ever stop by Austin."
1195493,30404542,2015-04-21,4965663,Ravi,"It was one of my most enjoyable experiences. The place was neat, clean and very tastefully decorated. The place is so conveniently located and with great views of the river, trails and more. 

Nicky is an absolutely wonderful host. She not only paid attention to the needs of the visitor (me) to feel at home and welcome, but made sure I had all the information about the goings on in Austin with detailed description on how to get there. She had plenty of suggestions for various activities - music, eating, etc. To top it, she offered and drove me to the airport!

Overall experience: A+."
1195493,30643297,2015-04-25,6593041,Jared,Very clean and convenient. Nikki was a great host. Would recommend this listing to others. 
1195493,30879196,2015-04-28,29634970,Sharyn,The listing is just as wonderful in person as it is in the pictures. This was the first time I used Airbnb and wanted to stay somewhere close to the Austin food and wine festival and I could not have picked a better location or better host. The check-in and check-out process was extremely smooth and Nicky was so easy to communicate with.  As a first time visitor to Austin I really appreciated the fact that Nicky was able to show me around. Having a host that was available if I needed anything but also gave me the option and tools to explore the city on my own was great for me. She is a great person to get to know and a very kind and accommodating hostess. Not only does her place have stunning views but it is close to so many things. I had a wonderful first visit to Austin.  Great place to stay.
1195493,31133096,2015-05-02,4423032,Jeremy,Nicky is a great host - she's very welcoming and the house is lovely.
1195493,31455377,2015-05-05,10411229,SueJeanne,"We appreciated Nicky's hospitality - not only did she take the time to orient us to the neighborhood and apartment space, but also checked in with us periodically throughout the weekend. The apartment's location is great - not only do you have easy access to walking along the river, but the place is situated where you can easily walk to a number of fun bars and restaurants. It's an especially excellent space to stay at if you know that you'll be out for most of the day and want a comfortable place to crash at night."
1195493,33446442,2015-05-28,31410938,Amee,"I loved my experience and highly recommend it to everyone! Like any big city, location is everything--so this place is particularly special because of the great, central (email hidden)'s right downtown, and a short walk or cab-ride (uber) under 6 bucks to most prime places. The best food and bar locations are literally 2 min. walk down Rainey street. The apartment is beautiful, and artistically decorated with a global theme. The views with glass windows all around, are spectacular! You see the river from each room! The balcony has a great view of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, towering over 20 floors above ground. Best of all, the hostess is super awesome! She is well-travelled and most knowledgeable about the coolest things to do in Austin, and she made me feel right at home by giving me tips, recommendations, and friendly support every step of the way! I felt like I had a friend travelling with me! Sign up for this location---you'll be glad you did! "
1195493,35236414,2015-06-16,33602194,Kirstin,"Nicky was the perfect host! She kept in touch with us leading up to our arrival in order to make sure everything went smoothly. We had fruit waiting for us and our room was clean and well decorated. From day one, we knew that Rainey St. would be our hangout and sure enough it was! Bars and restaurants galore. The river is across the street with a great trail that connects Rainey St. to the Congress Ave bridge. Austin had so much to offer and we loved our stay. The city bike was right outside the door as well which was an added bonus."
1195493,35484120,2015-06-19,30924618,Ben,Nicky was a fabulous host who took time to make sure all our needs were met.   She was very accommodating and was flexible to allow us to stay in the master bedroom.  The location was great and we would definitely consider coming back.
1195493,38724340,2015-07-18,689091,Caryn,"Great host, great space, great location! Nicky went out of her way to make sure I got in okay and new where everything was. To me that's always the most stressful part of an Airbnb experience, so I really appreciate her attention to good advance communicate and a smooth start. She also provided lots of bathroom essentials, such as shampoo, conditioner, a great facial wash, etc. She's also a wonderful person - someone who feels like an immediate friend. 

The unit is as lovely as pictured. It's right on Rainey St. with its array of nightlife and food opportunities, but on the end of the street, so still quiet. There's a convenience store next door for more food treats. 

I would definitely stay again if I were in the area. Thanks, Nicky!"
1195493,40172938,2015-07-28,30498405,Charles,"Nicky's place was great! We were able to go running on the trail around Lady Bird Lake, which is directly out the front door.  Rainey Street is incredibly happening and pretty much everything else worth seeing around Austin is also within walking distance.  Super comfortable bed and just a generally nice place to be for a few days.  Thanks, Nicky!"
1195493,47046572,2015-09-15,17221712,Yen,"Booking Nicky's apartment was very easy. After she had accepted my booking request, she provided me with details important to my trip. Being new to airbnb, it helped me feel more confident about my booking.

Nicky had to be at work when I arrived, but she provided me with step by step instructions on how to let myself in. I did not experience any problem.

I was very impressed with her apartment. It was very spacious and well decorated. It was very clean! I loved how it smelled too. Not only did I have my own bathroom, but I also had a very big closet! 

The location was perfect! I walked to downtown, the visitor center, 6th street, and south congress! Right beside the apartment is a running and biking trail! The apartment is on Rainey street, a row of bars, restaurants, and food trucks! Having a late night was easy!

Nicky and I kicked off my first night with s bottle of wine! Luckily, there was a music festival during my weekend in Austin. Nicky invited me to go with her and then our night ended on 6th street. She made sure I know what 6th street is about! We had a lot fun!

She made very good food  and music recommendations. She made sure I knew how to get where I needed to go and was in touch everyday. She even got out of bed at 3am to say goodbye and waited with me for my ride to the airport! "
1195493,48725589,2015-09-28,41481482,Lyndon, Our host was very good and timely with her letting us in. The location was very good and accurate  with a little grocery store down at the end of the block and several bars and restaurants just within a two block walk 
1195493,49219571,2015-10-02,26216711,Chris,"The  apartment is conveniently located in a newly developed part of town, within walking distance of restaurants, downtown  and close to the lake. My communications with Nicky before my arrival were always  answered  promptly.  She made me feel very welcome!  The bedroom is quiet, clean and comfortable with a large private bathroom next door. There were flyers and booklets about Austin on a shelf as well as convenient electric outlets for easy charging of devices. Nicky was a gracious host and I look forward to staying there again during my next visit to this fun town."
1195493,49912161,2015-10-07,7980107,Amy,"Nicky is an amazing host.  I cannot say that enough!  She promptly responded to all of my questions and was very thorough in providing information regarding the location.  On arrival, she kindly offered to pick me up from the airport and even showed me the neighborhood's local scene.  The accommodations are in a superb (email hidden)ry close to Downtown, Zilker Park and hiking/biking trails.  The apartment was very clean, comfortable and spacious.  I highly recommend this listing and this host for any visit to Austin! "
1195493,50654258,2015-10-13,15381383,Jessica,"Nicky was awesome! So attentive to our arrival details and planning for the logistics of our stay. Her apartment is spacious, comfortable and in the perfect location for exploring Austin and we had a great time during our stay! Highly HIGHLY recommend her as a hostess.  "

Wonderful home, immaculately clean, great view, and of course, Location Location Location!  Great area right downtown.  No complaints whatsoever!  I would %100 try to stay here again if I come back to Austin.  "
1195493,52048936,2015-10-26,39645509,Cat,"Great place to stay if you have a downtown gig going on!  Very safe, easy walk along the river, nicely set up for guests.  There is a good Uber presence of you don't want to walk or need/want to venture further.   Nicky was a gracious and informative.  Couldn't have asked for better.  Great value for the price! "
2577852,12555433,2014-05-05,13645744,Jon,"We had a wonderful couple of days in this beautiful, cozy cottage. Manny the cat was a great host! Carol was tremendously welcoming and provided us with all of the information we needed to enjoy our stay in Austin. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. "

2577852,13380365,2014-05-26,15519543,Chhavi,"Carol's cottage is beautiful and has a unique look! Very Austin. Brought two friends who never visited the city before and we enjoyed our time there. The house was very clean and exactly what we were looking for. Manny, ""the cat,"" is very sweet and shy and feeding him was not an issue. Will definitely recommend Carol's place to friends and family!"
2577852,13978516,2014-06-09,1977046,Carol,This place was quite charming. We slept well and enjoyed our stay. Very clean and a soft place to land. Convenient to central Austin activities.
2577852,14361783,2014-06-17,15810462,Jim,"Carol's home is delightful! Beautiful with comfortable beds, great water pressure in the shower! She thoughtfully left items for breakfast and the best coffee ever! Manny the cat is easy to care for and actually warmed up to us. He's so sweet ! We will definitely be back. Great location, close to grocery, restaurants, and easy access to the interstate.
"
2577852,15069807,2014-07-01,2549772,Xue,"Carol was easy to work with as this was a last minute request. The place looked exactly as pictured. What you don't get from the picture is how charming the place is in its decoration. Carol has an eye for decoration. The cat was no bother as indicated. The place was clean and you wouldn't know the cat ever came in doors from the lack of cat hair! There is a nice backyard with a porch and seating for that morning cup of coffee. The place was near highways and major streets so getting around was easy but still in a neighborhood so there was no disturbance from traffic. Highly recommended if you want a nice, charming bungalow experience in Austin."
2577852,16129871,2014-07-22,3741634,Bjorn,"Carol's house could not have been any more welcoming. This is the perfect Austin retreat. The location is also ideal, just close enough to everything to feel like you actually live in Austin when you're staying there. "
2577852,17166303,2014-08-08,7078082,Steve,Carol's place was exactly how it was described in the listing. Her house was homey and attractive in a neighborhood close to central Austin and a short walk to stores and restaurants. Manny the cat was easy to take care of. Carol provided a lot of thoughtful extras that made the stay even more enjoyable.  We would stay there again the next time we go to Austin. 
2577852,17904444,2014-08-18,7306071,M.,"Carol was a wonderful host allowing us to check in early.  She had an array of delicious treats, fruit & drinks waiting for us upon arrival. She noticed at the last minute she was out of coffee and made a quick run to the store. Her house was very clean and comfortable just like the photos. We enjoyed our visit and admired her collection of old findings. "
2577852,23948052,2014-12-15,8581210,Colleen,"Carol was an awesome host! She left fruit and breakfast items for us upon arrival and made us feel very welcome. The house is just as described and very clean and well decorated. Don't be scared by Manny the cat, he's great and indeed low maintenance. We loved looking at all of the vintage decor and postcards in the house. Carol made sure to make herself available by phone or text if there were any issues or if there were any questions.

The taco place and espresso bar nearby were nice places to walk to and were recommended by Carol. If you are looking for a nice house with a great vintage appeal, this is the one in Austin. I highly recommend it and am glad we stayed here."
2577852,27059351,2015-02-24,21657718,Laura,"Carol is the Best!!!   Her ability to anticipate needs is uncanny.   She set us up thoroughly to have a wonderful time, right down to the arts and entertainment magazine so we could see what is going on in Austin, and the breakfast fixings which happened to be all our favorite breakfast food.  

The house is charming!!!!  And comfortable.  The eat in kitchen is great with a nice big table for a small dinner get together.  Its set up for a perfect gathering at home.  (Can you tell we were comfortable?)   We were there to visit our daughters and it was nice to have an intimate place to spend time with them.  

The neighborhood is wonderful.  Artsy, groovy, and conveniently located near everything you need.   Its a great neighborhood to walk around and look at all the fun things people have done with their houses.  Just up the street their is a golf course with a public walking trail around the perimeter thats about a mile long so you can get your exercise before going out and seeing why Austin is such a popular place to live.  

I cant recommend Carol Pirie and her wonderful little house highly enough.   She is very responsive and takes pride in being an awesome host.  We had a wonderful time in Austin in large part because you set us up!!   Thank you Carol!!!!!"
2577852,27762910,2015-03-11,7946635,Meta,"The house was comfortable and homey. Everything was as advertised (including Manny the cat;). Carol was friendly and accessible. Basically, it's a cool house in a good area. "
2577852,28879472,2015-03-31,27808658,Kelly,"My friend and I just spent five days in Carol's lovely cottage and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. It was so nice feel like we were coming home each night and to wake up each morning and make a slow paced breakfast. Manny is one of the most chill cats you'll ever meet and watching the birds while reading a book in the morning is such a treat. The house has everything you could possibly need plus all the character you could ever want. It's close to anything you could want to do and far enough away to not feel hemmed in by the city. Honestly, it was one of the best vacations I've ever had and it's all due to having such a warm and inviting place to lay my weary head at night. I would recommend this little hideaway to anyone!"
2577852,29511525,2015-04-08,22996037,Gill,"We loved the house. It was  Manny was a very friendly cat, east to look after and a pleasure to have a cuddle with. The neighbourhood is very safe, we had the door open all the time we were there. Its convenient for getting the bus and close to shops (walking distance). I would 100% recommend this house and if we're ever back in Austin we will try and get this place again. Thank you!"
2577852,30317593,2015-04-20,28517195,Mary,"Very cute little house, very clean, and just as described.  Good location, easy to get wherever I needed to go in Austin.  Felt very safe and comfortable.  The host put together a detailed information sheet and everything was as explained.  I would definitely stay in this property again."
2577852,30788194,2015-04-27,28777167,Kathryn,The house was so perfect and close to everything. Carol was a wonderful host and we enjoyed the stay so very much. 
2577852,33361157,2015-05-27,29170062,Brittany,"This house was everything we hoped it would be! The house was clean and welcoming -- just like the pictures! The neighborhood was safe, convenient and quaint. Carol left us breakfast food in the fridge and a list of places to eat in the neighborhood. This was my first Airbnb experience and I was very pleased. "
2577852,34785844,2015-06-12,6458123,Lauren,"We loved every moment at Carol's beautiful home. The location was ideal-close to everything. The house is cozy and welcoming, with every convenience we could need. Manny was easy to take care of and we were rewarded with lots of cuddles on the couch. We will definitely stay here again anytime we're in Austin. "
2577852,37423256,2015-07-06,23754678,Ellis,"My friends and I decided to stay in Austin for Fourth of July weekend.  As soon as we started walking up to Carol’s house, we were greeted by Manny the Cat.  Carol’s house was so cute, clean, and we were met with plenty of snacks that would get us through the weekend.  The neighborhood was sweet as well, and a convenient HEB was just right around the corner.  The beds were very comfortable, and even though Carol wasn’t there, she made us feel right at home!  Manny was very friendly, and we had no problem feeding him. That being said, Manny woke us up 3 times with meowing between the times of 5am-7am both days we were there.  When I got up at 5am, he immediately went to his empty bowl.  Any cat lover knows, this is the international sign to “feed me.” I fed Manny the instructed amount of food and went back to bed. Manny woke us up 2 more times with his extensive meowing that morning even though we had fed him. That was annoying, and happened the next day too.  All in all, Carol was very hospitable, and I’m sure Manny tried his best J"
2577852,46204276,2015-09-08,8964142,John,"The house is *gorgeous*, the neighborhood is quiet, and the cat is as low-maintenance as advertised. Carol was great to communicate with and I felt right at home. Highly recommended!

(One note -- I'm 6'3"" and fit perfectly in the master bed, but the second bed is shorter and would be better for people who aren't quite as tall as I am.)"
2577852,47510993,2015-09-19,3003978,Courtney,"Staying in Carol's home was a dream!  She was completely welcoming and kind - we felt totally taken care of during our trip.  A wonderful host.  She was always reachable, but also gave us our privacy.  The house was clean and bright and beautiful.  Manny the cat was SO sweet and really easy to take care of.  We loved our stay and would go back in a heartbeat!  "
2577852,49325241,2015-10-03,7778905,Mike,"The house was beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet and charming, and Manny was a breeze to take care of. We loved sitting on the front porch, loving on the cat, listening to the crickets, and enjoying the Texas night. Even though we never met Carol, she was never further than a text message away, and she communicated freely through the whole process."
2577852,49894028,2015-10-07,33379416,Marcy,"Carol left a basket of snack type foods for us which was very thoughtful and much appreciated. She was great at communicating and answered texts immediately. The place was just as advertised; Carol's house was clean, in a safe neighborhood and easy to get to and from with the use of Uber and Lyft. Manny was indeed low maintenance and really kept to himself in the front yard most of the time. Carol really made us feel welcome and it was a treat to be guests in her home."
2577852,50451204,2015-10-12,39138253,Caleb,"My brother and I stayed at Carol's during ACL weekend, and we could not have been happier with the experience. The location was great, the house was cozy and very clean, and Carol was an excellent host. We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it for anybody visiting Austin."
2577852,52481292,2015-10-30,17144628,Michelle,"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carol's cozy, comfortable home.  She left us ample food for several breakfasts, which was much appreciated since we left home at 4:00 AM on the day we arrived at her home.  We also liked the small basket of goodies she left for us: these came in handy on on one of our day hikes. Manny the cat was so affectionate and made us feel right at home.  We would definitely stay here again when we travel to Austin."
4759493,26999600,2015-02-23,26541942,Chris,"Danielle is very friendly and was more than happy to help make my stay accommodating. The description she provides is very accurate, the inside of the house looks exactly like the pictures, everything is very clean and modern. I had never been to Austin before making her location ideal for me because it is only 1 block from multiple bus stops, which will get you to downtown Austin in about 10 minutes. I would highly recommend her location, I had no car the whole time and could get everywhere I wanted to with ease. I would definitely stay with Danielle again."
4759493,27354137,2015-03-02,25887922,John,Danielle was a very welcoming host and found her description of everything to be accurate and thorough. The house conveniently located (especially using Car2Go) and allowed us to get anywhere we needed with ease.  The room and rest of the living area were clean and neat and everything is newly renovated.  She was available via text to answer my questions when she was not around and I found her to be generous for letting me keep my bags at the house an hour extra to accommodate a trip to Franklin BBQ. Overall I would definitely recommend staying with Danielle.
4759493,29632266,2015-04-10,26143241,Dan,"Danielle was a great host, made me feel at home.  It is a very nice house in a great location. Danielle was alway helpful with all my questions."
4759493,31846011,2015-05-10,21428363,Maria Consuelo,Danielle was a great host! Great communication before booking and during my stay. I had a lovely welcome note when I arrived. The house and room were as described. Room was spacious with its own closet with hangers and the bathroom was great as well. The location of her home is awesome - walking distance to many restaurants and downtown. If I visit Austin again I would definitely stay at Danielle's home again. Thank you for opening your home to me :)
4759493,42747782,2015-08-15,31219381,Mike,"Danielle and Steven were great! The house seemed as if it was brand new, and the bedroom/bathroom setup was ideal. In terms of location, I don't think you could find anything more convenient in Austin. I couldn't offer a higher recommendation. "
4759493,45194241,2015-08-31,42311667,Chelsea,"Nice clean house, fairly easy to find however a more prominent house number would make it easier. The host was out of town but was always in contact when needed with any questions. 2 cars parked in driveway made for a tight squeeze to park our 2 cars. Loved having the cat as a house guest, made me miss my pets a lil less. Overall a great experience and would stay again if visiting Austin."
4759493,47013082,2015-09-14,35837007,Claire,Danielle's home was fantastic and incredibly clean. She was flexible when we wanted to arrive late and had no issue with us coming in late after going downtown. Our room was perfect and the bathroom had awesome amenities. I would definitely recommend staying with Danielle.
4759493,48436756,2015-09-26,11604906,Carly,Wonderful stay in a great part of the city. The house is clean and comfortable and we would absolutely stay with Danielle and Steven again. Thanks for a great Austin intro! 
4759493,49782404,2015-10-06,10607108,Cesare,"We had a great time at Danielle's. The set up is exactly as described. The neighbourhood is very lively with many cool bars. We could not pick a better place to stay while attending the Austin City Limits Festival (you can get to the festival easily, or, for that matter, anywhere, by using the public bicycle system. There is a rack three blocks away from the apartment)."
4759493,51548924,2015-10-21,25906147,Kate,"Danielle and her husband were excellent hosts! Very polite and sweet, and their house was adorable too! Very clean and spacious. Great location, about a mile from downtown and not far from South Congress. If you're staying with them, do yourself a favor and check out Cenote for amazing coffee and Trancas for awesome tacos down the street! "

The place is a lot bigger than I expected as well.

Thanks Again!

3702736,21284052,2014-10-14,19189781,Jeramy,Erica was great! We came to Austin for the ACL Music Fest with a small group of close friends and this space was perfect for our needs. Erica was in constant contact via email throughout our trip making sure we were taken care of and making sure we had all of the pertinent info we needed. We had some problems with the reservation early on in the process but we were able to reach an acceptable agreement for all parties. The home is located in walking distance to bars and restaurants on sixth street and it was easy to call an Uber to get to Zilker Park. The patio area has a lot of seating and a great view of the city so we spent a lot of time up there.  Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend the penthouse and Erica's services.

The crib was floor to ceiling windows, mod, mod, mod new fixtures and furniture, terrific patios, views and starlight. Wow is the best way to describe it."
3702736,26043963,2015-02-02,23494070,Tyler,This is an amazing place in the heart of Austin. The place comfortably slept 6 people and has a great outdoor space. I'd recommend this apartment if you want a nice relaxing place that is still walking distance to the downtown Austin attractions.

The host was very communicative and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Beautiful Views of downtown Austin and best of all it's walking distance to the bars on West 6th. The only small thing is there's a good amount of stairs to get into the condo... it didn't bother us but if you have a broken leg it could be trouble! Thank you again Erica- someday I'll be back!"

The unit itself really is a perfect spot. Close to the action of downtown but not too close so as to be noisey. It was nice to have the two bedrooms on different levels and away from the great living/dining/kitchen space. Everything in the unit was top notch. We wish we could have stayed longer."
3702736,52576733,2015-10-31,4058027,Mirjana,"Stayed at this property before and liked it hence the repeat, the location and place itself are great."

1721982,15711876,2014-07-14,12880240,Emma,"I had an amazing time staying here! The apartment was beautiful, and the bed was so comfortable. My friend who stayed with me wanted to stay forever. Lauren left us a great guide to the area, and was super responsive and helpful when we had some internet issues. All in all, a great place that I would highly recommend!"
1721982,16183542,2014-07-22,16744092,Jessica,Lauren was a great host! Will we definitely use her again! 
1721982,16512385,2014-07-28,14970958,Mai,"Lauren's place was great. Is was small and cozy, perfect for the 2 of us. The area is in a nice area with lots of things close by to do. We didn't get to see Lauren but she was very communicative. The only thing that we didn't like was that the shower liner was a little dirty but everything else was nice and clean."
1721982,17401607,2014-08-11,13401878,Natalie,Great location and perfect space with all the needed ammenities. My only negative feedback was the shower curtain and tub could benefit from some additional cleaning. Host was great and easy to communicate with. Would recommend this if someone is looking for a budget-friendly place for the weekend.
1721982,18352907,2014-08-25,16835235,Lauren,"Absolutely loved her place. Super clean. She provided towels, coffee and tea. The bed was comfortable. Parking was easy. Very quiet and close to everything. (We even walked home from s congress one night) probably couldn't say one bad thing about my experience, I would def recommend staying here. "
1721982,20325387,2014-09-27,21786142,Monika,"Lauren was an incredible host and extremely flexible! She communicated with me anytime I had a question and/or needed something. Her responses were always very timely.  The home is described exactly as is in her profile! The space was neat and tidy, with complimentary toiletries in the bathroom.  The rainfall shower was a great surprise! The location is a few blocks away from South Congress and there is an HEB conveniently located nearby. I was always able to park in the lot (uncovered parking) and didn't have any trouble accessing the space.  Lauren made my first AirBnB stay perfect! I would definitely contact her to stay here again! Can't wait for my next trip back to ATX. "
1721982,20775029,2014-10-05,835158,Tasneem,"Nice little space, and Lauren was really accommodating and prepared. Neighborhood is a short walk to South Congress strip with food trucks, restaurants, bars, etc. We had a total blast and love Austin!"
1721982,21125353,2014-10-12,18894849,Amy,"My boyfriend and I had a great time in Austin staying at Lauren's apartment! Her place was the perfect size, well decorated (loved the wall art) and in a great location! Lauren was very accommodating as well, she allowed us to use her wifi, speakers and Netflix while there, adjusted  the check in time based on our travel schedule and provided an awesome list of recommended spots in the Austin area (I recommend the bouldin creek cafe from her list)! If I were to stay in Austin again with airbnb I'd choose Lauren's again! "
1721982,21572438,2014-10-19,13111071,Douglas,"Lauren's place was perfect for a quick weekend getaway.  It was in a quiet neighborhood, but still close to the downtown action.  Lauren is also a great host as she made herself available to us, if we were to have any issues.  I would definitely recommend staying here."
1721982,21919652,2014-10-26,9474302,Toby,We had an excellent stay at Lauren's. Everything was clean and we loved her studio's decor. Would recommend.

1721982,25533022,2015-01-18,26183753,Will,"I had a great experience staying at Lauren's place this past weekend. Lauren was very friendly, quick to respond, and eager to answer any questions or provide suggestions. The apartment extremely clean and tidy, with a comfy bed and a great shower (bonus points), plus she has a lot of cool artwork on the walls. It fit my needs perfectly as an affordable option only a few miles from the downtown area. If I'm back in Austin I'll definitely look to stay here again."

1721982,27604535,2015-03-08,5191843,Marsha,"Lauren's studio apartment was just what was pictured - absolutely adorable and super cozy. It's the perfect amount of space for a couple of people who are ready to explore Austin and then come home to a comfy bed and fun apartment. It's also in a phenomenal location smack in between South 1st and South Congress. We really enjoyed being able to walk to restaurants/boutiques etc. and not having to scour the side streets for parking. And downtown/Rainey street was a quick Uber ride away! She left some stellar recommendations for food (Bouldin Creek Café was our favorite), and was always available when we needed her. To top it all off, as two single ladies, we felt very safe. Thanks for a fantastic stay, Lauren! We'll be back :) "
1721982,28086711,2015-03-17,27590912,Manny,Lauren's place was in a great location . It was immaculate and very well taken care of. I would recommend staying here to everyone. 
1721982,28318210,2015-03-22,27641102,Christopher,"Lauren was very easy to reach and responded quickly to all the messages I sent to her. The listing is as listed, it is a studio but there is definitely enough space for 4. We used a car to get around town so everything ended up working out great.  "
1721982,28715399,2015-03-29,27858999,Stacey,Great stay in this cute studio. Had everything we were looking for and Lauren was quick to respond and easy to coordinate with. Lebowski painting on the wall was a solid touch
1721982,29230380,2015-04-05,10748074,Sasha,"Great location and studio. Everything was ready for our arrival and Lauren was very responsive and helpful! Fitting 4 was tight, but do-able. We very much enjoyed our stay!"
1721982,29774333,2015-04-12,5348692,Carly,Perfect size place for our group of 3. Lauren was easy to communicate with and her place is in a great location to explore the different neighborhoods of Austin.

1721982,30247544,2015-04-19,30862190,Eric,"Lauren was an awesome host, who gave great detailed checkin/checkout instructions and made both really easy for me.  The studio apt is exactly as described and suited our needs perfectly. Great location, walkable to s. Congress and an HEB next door."
1721982,30693339,2015-04-26,17244109,Theresa,"Lauren was very responsive to all of my emails and sent over a great list of local restaurants and places to visit. 

Additionally, Lauren's home is so awesome. From the artwork to the setup, Lauren's home is a great place to relax after a day of exploring Austin. 
"
1721982,32429041,2015-05-17,33247423,Zach,"The description is perfect. Very cozy and a perfect launch pad to explore Austin. Groovy art on the wall and the mattress is super comfortable. With the futon it easily sleeps 2. 4 would be a snug fit, but you could do it. Lauren is an awesome host. She was super flexible with our travel schedule and responded immediately to every message. She is a pro and is on top of everything you may need. She even gives you a list of nearby things to do in the area. I would definitely stay again."
1721982,32910879,2015-05-23,31756813,Catie,"Lauren's place was fantastic. It was super cute, comfortable, and fantastically located. She made us feel very welcome and was super responsive if/when we had any questions. It was very clean when we arrived. "
1721982,34602374,2015-06-09,19206871,Ryan,"The listing was exactly as described - super clean, convenient, comfortable, and very well decorated. I had a few questions for Lauren and she always responded right away. Though it is walking distance to SoCo and 1st, in the Austin heat, uber or renting a car is advisable. Lauren sent a list of things to see and do around town and was a very gracious host. Add to that the fact that we like a lot of the same things, I'd say she's pretty darn awesome. 
She did not mention how great the shower is!!! I'm decently tall (6'3"") and I almost always have to duck to wash my hair but this shower head is like a rainshower from on the ceiling! It's amazing. 
Book this place now! "
1721982,35002189,2015-06-14,30378503,Ian,"Lauren's cozy studio in Austin is perfect! Her studio is extremely clean, organized, quiet, and comfortable. As a host, Lauren goes above and beyond. 

Prior to my my arrival, Lauren sent me all of the info I'd need to enjoy my stay. Not only does Lauren make sure you'll have easy access to her studio, but she also includes a great list of fun things to do in Austin. Lauren always kept in constant communication and made sure we had a great stay. Entry was a breeze, there was plenty of parking extremely close to her studio. 

Lauren's studio is nicely decorated and very organized. Both the bed and the futon are very comfortable and easy to sleep on. Her studio includes a curtain divider for added privacy. 

I'd highly recommend her studio looking for a comfortable and clean place to stay in Austin. "
1721982,35732557,2015-06-21,35460130,Haley,"This cozy studio is perfect for a trip to Austin! The 3 of us fit perfectly with the bed and futon. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the decor was awesome! The neighbors are also very friendly.

Lauren was an excellent host, always responding to messages promptly. She provided a list of places to visit and eat, all of which made our trip that much better.

The location was great! While not exactly walking distance, it just a short (cheap) Uber to 6th Street.

I would recommend Lauren's studio to everyone looking for s great time in Austin!"
1721982,36463569,2015-06-28,36216586,Taylor,"Lauren was super available to talk to about the place, check in and check out. The space is super cute too! Thanks!"

1721982,43966768,2015-08-23,26387186,Kathleen,"If you're coming to Austin, stay at Lauren's you will not be disappointed! Her place was the perfect size for 2 people to vacation in Austin and is in the perfect location (just about 2 miles from the very cool South Congress) so we didn't need to rent a car.  Lauren was the perfect host and communicated with me regularly in planing the trip, check in and out was very easy, and she was even there to greet us when we got to her place and get us situated. The rainfall shower head was pure heaven after a very humid day of exploring and her list of fun things to see, do, and eat in Austin was extremely helpful and the best thing we did was take her up on her recommendation of renting bikes and spent a day riding around town. I will definitely be staying again!"
1721982,46807620,2015-09-13,31283543,Tasha,Lauren was a fabulous host. She was great to talk to and was easy to contact during our weekend stay at her adorable studio. She gave us a wonderful list of great places to eat and visit while in town. Her studio apartment has a great location with an easy walk to South Congress and a quick uber ride to downtown Austin. Her studio apartment is absolutely charming and we will definitely be back for a stay next time we come to Austin. Thanks again for everything Lauren!

1735821,11046909,2014-03-18,11270754,Mark,"Great house in an excellent new estate. 7 of us stayed there for SXSW and to do lots of things around Austin for the week. There was more than enough room and the house was immaculate when we arrived, with a large living room and dining area and a very nice outdoor area for when the weather is good. In order to get downtown we took the bus which runs every 20 minutes and is about a 5 minute walk - perfect if you don't want to drive and cant park during SXSW. Its also pretty near the I35 which made is easy to get north or south of the city to do things in the surrounding area. All in all a great place to stay. "
1735821,28078380,2015-03-17,1218021,Melody,"Jana was a great host! The house is beautiful, clean, and quite spacious. It's an easy drive to downtown Austin. I would definitely recommend staying here!"
6556314,35888107,2015-06-22,36007952,Tamora,"We had a great weekend! This was a last minute booking on my part to have a stay-vacation in Austin, and Justin and his roommate were so accommodating and very communicative throughout the whole process. Their condo was very comfortable, and even though it was their home, (not an empty hotel-type space) we felt immediately as if we were staying at a good friend's house. 

I texted Justin a few times regarding some details on how/if we could use a few things, and he answered each time immediately with help/instructions, making us feel very welcome along the way. I stayed with my son and his girlfriend, and the first night we had a little bbq by the pool with 6-8 people, and the space was perfect for this, a wonderful kitchen to congregate, a back door leading right to the pool/courtyard. 

Their place was clean and organized, and also, easy to clean up when we left...I'd stay again, and I would recommend this place to any of my friends. The ONLY negative is that I didn't get to meet Justin, who seems like such a nice guy:) Thank you both again!
"
6556314,36637300,2015-06-29,14159289,Matt,Good location and a gated surface parking lot.  Very convenient to the hike and bike trail and Lady Bird Lake. 
6556314,38306681,2015-07-14,32438437,Brigitte,"Justin provided very clear and friendly communication from the beginning.   We visited Austin with a group of 4, and found the condo to be exactly what we needed.  Close to 6th & Congress, 200 yards from the river/lake and paddleboard & kayak rentals, with a clean & sunny pool & BBQ area.  Justin provided bikes and helmets, and even charcoal for the BBQ.   Parking is in a gated area, which gives a feeling of safety.  The neighbors are present and very friendly.  The condo is clean, comfortable and like spending time at a friend's house.  There are 2 queen/double beds in the private bedrooms, and very comfy couches in the main room that worked great for our teenagers. The condo has 2 TVs and also an x-box with games and wireless internet too .  Easy to cook in, or to drive to nearby food - PLENTY of things to do and places to eat within walking distance.   We highly recommend this condo and appreciate the expereicne we had!"
6556314,42001860,2015-08-10,38460263,Young,I felt very welcomed and the instructions were very clear. 
6556314,45299468,2015-09-01,30281550,Brian,"Justin was so accommodating in the RSVP process, he worked with our flight schedules to make sure the place was ready a couple hours earlier than the normal check-in time.  While it was just a few e-mails back and forth, he seemed like the kind of person that would go the extra mile just to make sure your everything went right during your visit to the Austin.  Very Awesome, kudos to Justin.

Now as the place is concerned, A+!! Very spacious, its in the middle of everything, and everything inside was clean.  ""Feels like home"" is an understatement.  There is even a pool out in the back that we used which was more a bonus since we were already satisfied with the place itself.  I've been to Austin 4 times this year, and if there comes a 5th...this would be the 1st place I'd look for again to stay at.

Condo is awesome, Owner in Awesome-r!  perfect combo!"
6556314,46035651,2015-09-07,42072132,Poonam,"It was a wonderful experience staying at this house. We felt safe, cozy and homely. All the facilities were excellent."
6556314,46994335,2015-09-14,29798514,Romain,"Interesting description of the neighborhoods, some drinks and the light on always make you feel confortable in a place you stay at. We were nicely received by Justin and the place itself is really great! "
6556314,51338912,2015-10-19,36154942,Lindsey,"Justin's residence was well kept, clean and accommodating to say the least. He had a well prepared list of hot spots around the city that were descriptive and helpful.

Pool was awesome after a long hot day and the bike trail directly across from the apartment was PHENOMENAL. "
617239,2682672,2012-10-22,575262,Vivian,"I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful it was to stay at Lori's house.  Not only was the house in immaculate condition but also Lori went out of her way to make our party feel extra welcome.  

I rented this house for a bachelorette party in Austin and prior to coming, Lori had the house cleaned and even made the bride-to-be a welcome gift for the event!  She also left beauty products in the bathrooms for the girls to use, and made sure there were clean towels for all of us.  She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome - I have never had such a gracious host as her!!

Communication with her was easy; she was available and easy to reach via phone and text when I needed her and check-in was a breeze.  I was running late, so I had my other girl friend check in for me and she gave her a tour and thorough explanation of everything in the house.

The location was cute; very close to the 1st street food trucks and a 10 dollar cab ride for 4 girls to downtown.

If you need a house to stay in this is the house to be in!  It was so beautifully decorated and has everything you will need in your home away from home!!"
617239,3157642,2012-12-26,3969202,Floflora0115ra,"Lori's home was beautiful and we all had a wonderful time at her place.  She decorated her home beautifully for Christmas.  My family had a wonderful time.  Lori was very hospitable and made us feel very much at home.  I will definately go back and stay there.  It was close to everything near downtown, Zilker park, UTA and many other sights in the area.  The neighborhood was very safe and quaint and strategically located to all the places near the downtown area.  We all had a wonderful time spending our Christmas at Lori's home.  Thanks again for having us and we will definately come back again."
617239,3566998,2013-02-18,86551,Penelope,"Our stay at Lori's house was all we hoped for and more!  The basics were easy - Lori is a good communicator and I always felt confident about our reservation. We rented the house for a bachelorette party and when I was delayed coming into town, Lori was flexible and had no problem working with my friend as an alternate contact.  She really impressed all of us with her welcoming nature and the special touches around the house.  The location of the home was fantastic for getting into town and also getting out to Hill Country.  We had a great time in Austin and highly recommend Lori's home!"
617239,3645931,2013-02-27,4297457,Nancy,Lori is an extremely gracious host who made our stay a delight!  I was in Austin for a family wedding and had ten members of my extended family staying at the house.  We were very comfortable and felt pampered by all the extra little touches Lori had left for us.  She was easy to communicate with and very responsive to all our questions.  We will definitely stay with Lori again when back in Austin!!
617239,3815841,2013-03-18,1691512,Jason,"Lori's awesome. Pretty much everything that can be said already has been in the reviews before mine -- great host, great house, really good location (~25 mins to downtown via bus). Being in Austin for SXSW is always a great experience, but our stay @ Lori's this go 'round made it easily our best trip there to date."
617239,4573142,2013-05-13,4317466,Cid,"The house is amazing!!! Big enough for 10 people! Lori was a very gracious host! House is exactly as described, actually nicer than in the pictures! Lori even sent us wine and some goodies for my friend's bday! Very nice Neighborhood as well! Highly recommended! Will definitely go back! Thanks again Lori!!!"
617239,10532372,2014-02-24,11107933,Sarah,This was the perfect house! Everything we needed was available to us. Lori was very accommodating and really helpful!!! 
617239,10938921,2014-03-14,1234279,Jeremy,Amazing home with even more amazing hospitality. On a quiet street that allows you to escape the madness of whichever festival or event you are attending.
617239,11797903,2014-04-15,11658888,Sara,"Lori was a superb hostess! Knowing we were there for a bachelorette weekend, Lori thoughtfully left us a bottle of champagne and some brownie treats :) She gave us a thorough walk through so we knew were everything we could possibly need was and was more than happy to help when we contacted her for a few odds and end. He house was clean and had a fun energy to it. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay. Truely a wonderful introduction to the airbnb experience!!!"
617239,13101910,2014-05-19,14981812,Debra,This was our first Airbnb rental.  Couldn`t have been better!!!  Lori showered us with so very many treats that we did not expect.  Our stay was short but we do hope to come back again.  Every aspect to make us enjoy and be comfortable was thought out for us.
617239,20846386,2014-10-06,14981812,Debra,"Our`s was a return visit to Lori`s home.  Every thing went just great.  She is a most generous and obliging host.  The home is so very clean and has lots of space for your belongings.  You know we would not return if we weren`t completely happy with the location.  Thank you, Lori. "
617239,22359193,2014-11-04,20914413,Julian,"The house was a perfect home away from home for out 3 family party.  Our host, Lori understated the ultra clean condition of the home and her attention to little details.  We would definately consider this a 1st choice on any return trip to Austin."
617239,49586944,2015-10-05,3292132,Bob,This was the perfect place for our ACL weekend get-away.  Lori was a wonderful host and was easy to communicate with.  The house is lovely and decked out with great amenities.  Quiet neighborhood with good coffee and dining options within walking distance.  One of the best AirBNB properties I have stayed at.
6473409,36127324,2015-06-25,35309186,Ashley,"The listing was very accurate. The complex is very nice, and most of the neighbors were very friendly. We loved using the pool! The apt was very cute, homey and clean. We loved seeing the natural soap and cleaning products since I have a mild fragrance allergy. The coffee set up, bottle of wine and granted use of their in house washer and drier made us feel very welcome. The bed was also very comfortable and we slept like rocks! I would recommended this place to a friend and happily stay again."
6473409,36697117,2015-06-30,23749845,Jameka,"the apartment is located in a great part of the city with beautiful surroundings and in a safe, quiet area. everything was provided, organized, and clean. we had a great time and would jump at the chance to stay here again."
6473409,49510164,2015-10-04,23674653,Skylar,Perfect spot for ACL! We were only a $8-$10 ride to the park! Apartment was clean and comfortable and Sarah was kind enough to give us a bottle of wine to celebrate our weekend! She also had great advice of where to park and how to get to the park easily! Would stay again!

5048745,28318307,2015-03-22,14464160,Holly,"Travis was great, super accommodating, made us feel right at home.  Close to stuff and easy to get to the highway.  Cozy and felt like I was at my own house.  Thanks Travis!"
5048745,34438166,2015-06-08,31888866,Lizzeth,"We had a great stay at Travis'. The house was just as pictured- clean, comfortable, and perfect for the trip with a nice backyard. Travis was very responsive and available to answer my questions. The house is centrally located and within a few miles from downtown well as main highways, groceries store. I would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful house."
5048745,50337116,2015-10-11,42766256,Aron,"We had a positive experience. The house is a bit dimly lit. There is only one bed and the other room has a blowup mattress, so I had to bring a bed from our house to accommodate our guests. Otherwise, Travis was accommodating and let me come back a week later to retrieve our bed. "
3781742,21282601,2014-10-14,1447706,Karina,"Amazing hosts! Charming home! 
A friend and I stayed in Courtney and Jeremiah's home for Austin City Limits, and it was the perfect location a few minutes walk from Zilker Park. Courtney is very friendly and attentive. We felt very welcome in their home, and they gave us some great tips about things to do (and eat!) around Austin. Would recommend this listing to anyone, not just festival goes, as it is close to the springs and a short drive/cab/uber from downtown.    "
3781742,50616403,2015-10-13,35206372,Jaime,"This was such an awesome place to stay for ACL, only about a 10-15 min walk away from gates! Courtney was so welcoming and available to us, always answering promptly when we sent her any questions via text during our stay. She not only left her contact for us if there was any problem, but information for other friends who were willing to help us if we needed anything. She gave great recommendations for the festival and for Austin, and even left us a little welcome gift :) Her home is adorable and well-decorated, very cozy and comfortable. She gave every instruction (Tv, lights, etc) we could possibly need and we all felt very much at home. This was my first time using airbnb and Courtney was kind and patient when I had any questions about the process. She even priority mailed back my cambelbak water bottle that got left behind! An awesome experience and I would definitely stay again if I find myself in Austin."
5333582,37204356,2015-07-05,16796698,Eliana,ALL WAS JUST PERFECT ....very comfortable apartment in a super ....luxury building ...Vijay help us all the time if we need something ...i will back again for sure ...Thanks 
5333582,39869793,2015-07-26,5433063,Carrington,Check-in was simple and easy. Tons of food and a grocery store directly connected to the apartments. Train is close and ubers are about a 30 second wait. Didn't get the chance to meet Vijay but he made this whole process simple and easy. 
5333582,41139856,2015-08-04,38565634,Jennifer,Vijay was very welcoming when we arrived. He gave us great information that we were able to use during our stay. The apartment was very nice and in a great location. I would definitely stay here again!
5333582,42068577,2015-08-10,4097669,Holly,"I stayed at Vijay's apartment for about a week in August.  Vijay was very responsive before our stay and checking in and out with him was super easy.  The apartment is brand new and has everything you need (huge couch, full kitchen, TVs in both the living room and bedroom (with cable and Apple TV), a great bed and shower, washer/dryer, etc.)  We had a car but either way found that the place was very centrally located.  There's also a brewery and a convenience store within the apartment complex that are open fairly late.  During our stay there was one night when a part in the A/C unit broke down.  It was a completely freak incident but I was really impressed with how quickly Vijay responded to the issue (he was at the apartment within the hour) and he arranged for the apartment managers to come by and fix the A/C before the end of the day.  I would definitely stay here again.  Thanks Vijay!"
5333582,46053307,2015-09-07,37797282,Christy,Vijay was a great host. He met us and gave us all the info we needed for our stay. Apartment was described accurately and convenient to most everything. Pool area was extremely relaxing which was much appreciated after racing the Rugged Maniac in Austin. I would stay again as well as recommend to family and friends. 
7398569,43322460,2015-08-18,5668233,Ammar,The place was exactly as described. Hosts went out of their way to make us comfortable. Great value. Clean nice neighborhood 
7398569,46225905,2015-09-08,21019868,Paul,Cozy at home feeling. Convenient location to get around Austin. 
7398569,52409541,2015-10-29,18777904,Mei Chang,The description for the listing was accurate - it was a nice clean family house.  The host made sure to check in with us over text when we arrived and made himself available when we had questions.  
4161098,20805364,2014-10-05,22062323,Ellen,"Katherine was a great host! Really cute house in a nice neighborhood and close to downtown, which was very convenient. I brought my dog with me and while we were away for the day she walked her for me which was awesome! Overall a great experience."
4161098,20941447,2014-10-07,12523132,Janny,KC was a great hostess and even invited my boyfriend and I to a dinner she  was having at her place. This quiet neighborhood was just a few minutes drive to the grocery store. The room was clean when we arrived and overall was very homey. She accommodated our late check-in; parking along the street was no problem for us.  
4161098,21370418,2014-10-15,6680582,Tanner,"Our last minute trip meant we booked late and didn't know when we would arrive. KC and Ben were very accommodating and have a beautiful home. The neighborhood was quiet, felt safe, and was very close to the UT campus. I would stay here again. "
4161098,22492712,2014-11-08,21755530,Victoria,Katy was a great host. The price is  very reasonable and you can easily take bus to go to downtown. 
4161098,22720100,2014-11-12,22349130,Ethan,"KC was a knowledgeable and gracious host. She had plenty of helpful suggestions for my short time in Austin, and she brought out fresh towels and the local paper full of Austin happenings. She was also very accessible before and during my trip,  always responding quickly to any questions that I had. Thank you for a great stay in Austin!"
4161098,22917228,2014-11-17,23289806,Stella,"My stay was nice and peaceful.  Katherine was out of town, but ensured I had everything I needed.  She even suggested a lovely cafe for me and my pet to go to a few blocks from her place.  I had a lovely time."
4161098,22976113,2014-11-19,1172223,Lauren,The reservation was canceled 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
4161098,23603535,2014-12-06,16242566,George,"I stayed with Katherine while I was in Austin for five nights for my research. I didn't see Katherine much but she very helpful and relaxed. The apartment is clean, attractive and tidy"
4161098,27775754,2015-03-11,28389446,Adrian,"Very nice and friendly, I can only recommend it!"
4161098,28856468,2015-03-30,1465202,Laure,Katharina' apartment is very nice although a bit far from downtown. You'll hardly manage to go downtown by bus - better use your own car or go by taxi. But the good thing is that the neighborhood is very nice and quiet. The only thing that was unpleasant is that we were 3 persons to stay at the apartment in the same room which was very small - the living room hadn't being offered to sleep in like it was written in the ad. Two of us had also to sleep on a air mattress which is very uncomfortable! To sum up I would say that the apartment is fine to stay at when you are not more than 2. 
4161098,29853814,2015-04-13,28810736,Brian,"KC was an excellent host, tolerant of my coming and going at odd hours and flexible on departure and arrival times. The listing itself is small but cozy and situated in a great neighborhood. I was able to get to downtown and back easily by bus (would highly recommend the CapMetro phone app if you plan to do this). Would definitely recommend this stay to friends."
4161098,30367974,2015-04-20,25683671,Estevan,"KC's place was fantastic. Her apartment is very charming and inviting. The bed was large and comfortable. Internet was super fast too (for those watching Netflix before bed). The neighborhood was quiet, with big beautiful trees, and the elementary school playground close by allowed me to take my dog out for some play time. Cherrywood Coffeehouse was 5 mins walk and the perfect hangout for a quick brunch. Location was really convenient, I was able to get to downtown in less than 10 mins since highway access is right there. "
1530739,10899018,2014-03-12,3932461,Shaun,"My wife and I stayed at Anna & Ben's place during SXSW and had a great time.  The home is tastefully decorated, very comfortable, and wonderfully located within walking distance to the convention center, downtown, and the South Congress neighborhood.  There is easy access to a trail along the river and plenty of parking.

Thanks for a great stay!"
525231,2209566,2012-09-05,1603378,Clayton,"We loved our stay, and hope to return soon! We came to Austin for a wedding, and chose this place over the nearby hotels. After comparing notes with the other wedding guests, we sure hit the jackpot. Kris' place was far more comfortable, convenient, and affordable. We found the place to be charming, homey, and stocked with everything we could need for our stay. The space is well furnished yet spacious and open. The bedding and towels were super soft! Kris' place is in an ideal location, too! It took us seven minutes to get to the heart of downtown, and not much longer to get to North Austin. The neighborhood is safe and chock full of coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. The best part of our stay was the hostess herself. Kris was so kind and welcoming, and went way above and beyond to make sure not only our stay in the house was great, but that our entire trip was. When my luggage arrived quite late and I was faced with wearing dirty clothes to a wedding, Kris came to the rescue! Kris left some treats to welcome us upon check-in, and also provided a booklet of her yelp reviews to ensure we knew the neighborhood's best eateries and brew houses. This one's an absolute winner! "
525231,2925689,2012-11-20,2928528,Ryan,"We had an awesome time here! All the furniture and living spaces were up-to-date, clean, and comfortable.  They had an area with snacks and beverages, and there were plates, mugs, utensils, etc. 

The futon was pretty comfortable, the bed was very comfy, and the couches were definitely nap-worthy! Also, there was a guide-book with good places to go around Austin, and it never steered us wrong.

They were super nice and easy to get a hold of. Overall, this was a great stay! Definitely try out Amy's Ice Cream!"
525231,3832812,2013-03-19,4062990,Raewyn,"A really lovely place in North Austin, everything is as described and Kris is a very thoughtful host. "
525231,4685405,2013-05-20,6012074,Bridget,"Kris's Modern Guest House was just as we had hoped!  The place is new, immaculately clean and very very comfortable. What you see in the pictures is exactly how it is!   Kris was a wonderful and helpful hostess.  We were in Austin for my daughter's graduation from UT.  Kris allowed us to host a BBQ for family and friends.  The kitchen was  stocked with what we needed, plus liquid refreshments!  We had 5 of us at the house and we had plenty of room.  My other daughter is getting married in Austin in Oct so we might be back!  Conveniently located to an HEB and Walgreen's and resturaunts.  Thank you for all of your assistance while we were there!!!  "
525231,4855096,2013-05-28,6576392,Jessica,"This was my very first time to use airbnb and it was a great one! Kris has it down. The guest house is fully equipped with all the essential things and since it's a home, I felt a lot more comfortable than I would have at a hotel. If you stay here, you will know that Kris has put a lot of thought into providing an enjoyable time for the guests. I will definitely remember this place when I plan another trip to Austin in the future."
525231,21666880,2014-10-21,9651893,Kerry,"An enjoyable experience. Responses to any questions were immediate. The host was quite obviously thoughtful in every little detail of the house. Everything was as described online, only better. "
525231,22329903,2014-11-03,24282,Robert,"I quite enjoyed my stay at Kris' guest house. Everything was great - the house was clean and well maintained, everything was in order, and Kris was very communicative all through my stay. It's a really nice house"
525231,28265123,2015-03-21,26905063,Richard,Kris was great. She came by and introduced herself. She was very gracious and welcoming. I really enjoyed staying at her place. I highly recommend it
525231,32412162,2015-05-17,6961812,Dale,"The property was immaculate, and Kris was most considerate to make available a generous number of items one might not normally expect.  It was a very pleasant experience."
525231,32647926,2015-05-19,17573793,New,Kris was a very accommodating host. Her place was comfortable and cozy. We made use of it both for a nice quiet dinner party and getting ready to hit the town. The place is spic and span and well worth another visit!
2084235,11822368,2014-04-15,14172565,Vincent,Wow. What an amazing stay. Large room with all the amenities one could ask for. This was like the Ritz Carlton. Overall beautiful home inside and out and great accommodating services from Josh.  Thanks again pal. See you next time.
2084235,12320166,2014-04-28,14585140,Katie,"Josh is an all around awesome host. I personally like laid-back people, and Josh is very much so. He is super friendly and genuinely wants you to have a good stay.

The room itself was very neat and clean, everything freshly laundered. We had the whole second floor for ourselves, private bathroom, towels, etc. Josh even bought us a six-pack, put his wine at our disposal, and got us bagels for breakfast the next day. By the end of the trip, we were so happy with him we offered to take him out for lunch! "
2084235,14532749,2014-06-21,9131674,Curtis Gene,"To say the place is ""nice"" is a grotesque understatement!  Josh's home is beautiful, you have the whole second floor to yourself,(with TV equipped with my newest obsession... Roku  LOL) and you will be hard pressed to find any one as kind, giving and likable as he!  My 3 day stay with Josh turned into booking another week due to his kind, helpful demeanor.  My intention was to stay at 2 different places while in Austin...but, why go elsewhere when you have the nearly perfect HOST!
By the way, he is also an excellent tour guide to Austin's cuisine and is very willing to help you out if you need a lift to or from the airport...which is very convenient and close!  
Finally, if your heart is captured by cute animals, his Jack Russell, CoCo, is sure to find a place in it!  Cutest dog ever!"
2084235,19050551,2014-09-05,18172893,Adelaide,"Nice guy, nice home. The room was great with a very comfortable bed/sheets and good closet space. I also had access to another closet down the hall which was great since I had extra stuff with me. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. I only wish I had been able to go for a walk along the trails.

Josh went with me to a (website hidden) Developer meetup! And, he bought me some gluten free snacks, very thoughtful."
2084235,20150163,2014-09-24,19507297,Jennifer,"Josh was incredibly accomodating; even letting me come in the night before my reservation was actually scheduled. I don't think I could have found a nicer host or house! His dog, Coco, even took right to me!"
2084235,23089128,2014-11-22,16824837,Valerie,Josh was great! He was very accommodating. My plans kept changing and he helped me out on short notice. Very nice guy and host. Coco - his dog was awesome too! The neighborhood was nice and quiet and close to downtown.
2084235,48229409,2015-09-24,3523925,Tania,Our stay was awesome. Thanks Josh
2084235,53060514,2015-11-04,45567440,Mila,"Josh is an awesome guy in all possible ways. He advised us alot and gave us some traveling tips. Our stay was beyond perfect, we left like at home. To say that Josh's place is amazing is to say nothing, you gotta try it ! The list of perks: sweet dog Coco, spacious patio with BBQ grill, 1GB wifi, roku tv, awesome bedroom,full kitchen, clean house, free parking, close location to Downtown, grocery stores, highway, hiking area. If you plan on visiting Austin check out Josh's place and you wont regret it. We already miss you so much. Hopefully we'll see you this coming year. Thank You so much Josh for everything you did to make our stay as pleasant as possible."
75174,200640,2011-03-16,394868,Jason,"I stayed at this great condo on the south of the lake in Austin for SXSW 2011. According to David it had just been remodeled and it looked it, everything was brand new and ready to go. The decorations added some personality and I felt right at home. I was pleasantly surprised to find beer in the fridge, coffee on the counter and clean towels and linens everywhere.

I was by myself but the place could easily have fit 3+ with its queen bed and pullout couch. There's a really big living-room with an attached kitchen and porch, separate bedroom/closet and you can walk down to the pier on the lake in just 2 minutes. It's situated right by a great park where people jog and play sports.

It's about 1 1/2 miles from the convention center/downtown which is a decent walk, but there is a bus stop just around the corner which works well too. For something like SXSW it was perfect to be away from all the hustle and bustle and actually get some sleep. Basically - not downtown but close enough for a decent walk - easier than staying in a hotel by the airport and a darn lot nicer.  Cabs work too.

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little quite time during their visit to Austin!"
75174,202838,2011-03-19,390187,Justin,"When I booked the apartment it was still being renovated and there where only a handful of pictures available, mainly from outside. Luckly David explained the situation and when I arrived there I was pleasantly surprised, the apartment was decorated beautifully, was clean and had everything we needed.
David is a kind and friendly man, he helped us out and gave us some tips about the area (eg. take a bus for one dollar to downtown, especially during SXSW its hard to get a hold of taxis so the bus is really a great help).
The neighborhood is nice and pretty close to Downtown, (its about an 8 dollar cab ride to Stubbs which is nice). There is a 7/11 around the corner so if you need to do some late night snacking its pretty convenient.
We didn't really have time to walk by the lake which is a real shame cause its so very pretty.
We will probably try to get this apartment for next years SXSW, from all 3 places we stayed this year (thats what you get for booking late), this was definitely the one that pleasantly surprised us the most."
75174,205934,2011-03-21,447849,Colby,"With a new job on hand along with a busy schedule I had to cross SXSW off of my to-do list cancelling my hotel room and so forth.  As the final week went by I got the SXSW itch and just had to go.  I began calling hotels even tried to get the room back that I had given away but prices ofcourse had skyrocketed for the festival.  

Then I stumbled upon airbnb.com and quickly noticed the great condo being offered by David.  Being a rookie with airbnb I just followed along really not expecting a response but to my surprise David responded within 30 minutes and it was a go!  

I had a crazy time getting into Austin and David went out of his way to make my stay comfortable.  He even had the amenities of coffee and beer in the fridge.  The bed was comfortable and the place was a lot more  spacious then I even would have thought and even better it is right on Townlake(a major plus in my book!!!  Only a 15 minute walk from downtwon.   I could not have asked for a better deal!!!!

Thanks David!!"
75174,207761,2011-03-23,8028,Sylvia,I had the best time staying at this great condo on the lake. It was everything that I was expecting and more.  David  picked me up from the airport and offered some great suggestions for things to see and places to eat.  The condo is spacious and beautifully furnished.  I enjoyed sitting on the dock in the evening and enjoying the view of downtown and the beauty of the lake. It was a much nicer experience than staying in a hotel and I would highly recommend it. Thanks David!
75174,208288,2011-03-24,449700,Natalia,"This lovely condo was just what I was looking for during my business trip to Austin. It was very close to downtown but not too close and allowed me to get away each evening for some quiet time. Everything was brand new, the unit was clean and tastefully decorated. David met me on time and was very friendly and accommodating. He even told me where to get the best Tex Mex food and veggie fare. I will definitely return whenever I travel to Austin."
75174,219262,2011-04-06,452631,Marc,"Stayed for a short vacation dovetailing into a conference. This was a lovely place--super clean, convenient to downtown by bus or car or bike--maybe a bit too far to walk.  Having a beer on the dock looking across the river to the city ROCKED!  Especially convenient to South Congress.  Gigundo TV with a bazillion channels was a fun distraction in the wee hours (I guess, for those of us who aren't used to that sort of thing.)  Good stuff. David was very friendly and easy to communicate with."
75174,225067,2011-04-12,381512,Danielle,The condo was cute and spacious with everything we needed! A few minutes to downtown and soco and a 7 11 next door but you don't want to go behind east of the 7 11 side....but it was perfect for 2 especially for first time visiting Austin. Host kept in contact with me and checked in with me often to make sure everything was running smoothly!
75174,230252,2011-04-18,411035,Trudi,"My husband and I spent 4 lovely days in David's condo. It looks directly out onto a park and then you walk down a few short steps to the lake.We watched the scull rowers, the turtles, birds, runners, sunrise, sunset and a fabulous view of Austin downtown at night. David was available when needed, but that was all.

We had a wonderful time and we'll be sure to return again!"
75174,239423,2011-04-25,501275,Mona,Staying in this condo was great.  The location was awesome.  We got to watch the crews rowing the boats early in the morning while having coffee.    The turtles were a real treat also.
75174,245737,2011-04-30,481620,Helena,The condo was really lovely and David could not have been more helpful.  We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to definitely come again.
75174,267037,2011-05-16,574624,Joshua,"We absolutely loved the place, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Austin!!!  It was very close to everything, and felt like a vacation get-away.

"
75174,279302,2011-05-24,562870,Lara,"This is a lovely space and David is a great host.  The thoughtful  ""little"" details like having fresh coffee beans ready to be ground in the morning; the interesting magazines and local information readily available; the ability to record TV; really easy going check in and check out process all adds up to making staying away from home so much more wonderful.  The walking trail and the view of the lake are icing on the cake.  I look forward to being able to come back next time I am in Austin."
75174,301023,2011-06-06,637171,Scott,"Very nice place with special touches like a bottle of wine, ice cream in the fridge, extra towels for Barton Creek swimming and written directions to near by attractions.  Much better than a hotel.

"
75174,394424,2011-07-25,504028,Ebby,"This was an excellent place to stay.  The place was clean, located close to downtown, and just a joy to stay at.  This location had everything I wanted, and, even if I was missing something, David was very responsive to any requests.  I would recommend this location to any of my friends and family. "
75174,497278,2011-09-03,796421,Rajni,"We had a lovely stay at David's condo.  Both David & Julia were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable.  

We fell in love with Austin & this was a great place to do so.  There were such beautiful views of the city from their dock on the lake, where we watched the sunset.  We took a nice sunset cruise one night to see the bats & we enjoyed a bottle of wine David had left for us.  We also rented stand-up paddle boats around the corner from their place.  Great way to enjoy the lake and city.

David was a great host & we will probably be back to Austin soon and would definitely stay here again. "
75174,505114,2011-09-06,511020,Alison,David is a conscientious host who welcomed us warmly and even provided some refreshments in the fridge! The interior of the condo is lovely and the location on the lake and running trail is fantastic. We loved our stay here and I would recommend the place to anyone. 
75174,549587,2011-09-20,558246,Teri,"This place is great - the pool is really nice. David was a very helpful host, answered all of our questions!"
75174,575038,2011-09-27,1119301,Evelyn,"We would highly recommend this property!  David is a great host! Everything was as promised. Don't miss a relaxing evening on the dock. Location is convenient to routes to anywhere in Austin area.
Condo is very comfortable and well equipped.  Weather was quite hot for we midwesterners but the AC works great. If we return to Austin, David will be the first person I will contact about accommodations."
75174,586392,2011-10-01,1115329,Courtney,"David's condo was the perfect place to stay for my vacation. It was spacious, clean, and conveniently located, with a great view of the city from the dock in the back yard. I would highly recommend it!"
75174,619967,2011-10-11,1190832,Carol,This was a wonderful condo with tile floors and granite countertops and in a great location.  It had a nice little patio and a short walkway to the river which had a dock where you could sit and enjoy a glass wine at the end of a nice day.  We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again.  
75174,662870,2011-10-25,1153625,James,"David and Julia's condo was just as described. My girlfriend and I loved the condo and the view of the lake was amazing. Nothing like getting home from a great night on the town, sitting on the lighted lake dock and drinking a bottle of wine. We'd recommend the condo to anyone who wants to enjoy Austin and not necessarily be downtown."
75174,684694,2011-11-01,273077,Maximilien,"Aw, thanks David & Julia! We had a GREAT time in Austin. We loved your place and your hospitality was amazing. Hope to cross paths again. All the best, Julie & Max "
75174,692399,2011-11-04,1351482,Michael,"David was very pleasant and easygoing, place was clean, stocked with beer and right down on the lake.  Great base to explore the city and keep your privacy intact"
75174,703329,2011-11-08,1308293,Kiran,"This was my first time using Air BnB and I couldn't be happier. The condo was in a perfect location, near downtown Austin, but just far enough away to stay nice and quiet. The condo was clean, well stocked, and had everything we needed. Check in and out was super easy, the owners were friendly and very easy to work with. I'm sure I'll be staying here again on my next trip."
75174,745654,2011-11-27,226167,John,"We had positive experience staying at David's condo in Austin. Our hosts were accomodating, friendly, and offered some extras like bottled water in the fridge... The condo is in an excellent location: next to a large park along the lake, and close to Congress Ave leading to downtown. Five min away from our door were excellent restaraunts, great music venues, and the lakeshore trail! I recommend this property highly..."
75174,806623,2011-12-26,1491024,Melody,"This was the perfect place for us – all the comforts of home, great location, very friendly hosts, pleasant grounds, and spectacular sunrises to start the day."
75174,862447,2012-01-14,645661,Jim,David was a great communicator and the place was perfect. I travel to Austin regularly and will stay at the condo again.
75174,879485,2012-01-23,1614564,Chris,"David was really nice and met us at the condo when we arrived.  He even left a bottle of bubbly in the fridge for us. 

The condo is very spacious, especially the living room, and there is a nice little patio in the back if you want to have coffee outside in the morning. 

Everything was clean and comfortable.  

The location is very central.  

I'd be happy to stay here again. "
75174,894998,2012-01-31,1630858,Eric,"Place was great, host was great.  Checking in was very easy, David picked me up at my conference during a lunch break, gave me the tour and the keys, then got me right back to the conference.

The condo is spacious and clean with a nice back porch.  Plenty of room to spread out in.  Having the kitchen is a nice bonus over a hotel.

The location is just a $10 cab ride from downtown, which worked out well."
75174,912421,2012-02-10,1387448,Peter,"This condo is in a really convenient location on the lake. It's close to the city but not in the bustle. If you have a car it's only five minutes to get into the city centre. Having a kitchen is really great if you want to enjoy some home cooking with the lovely ingredients available in Austin. There's a coffee maker, dishwasher and pleasant place to sit and enjoy meals. Bear in mind that if a third person is staying on the big, comfortable sofa bed in the lounge room, you do need to access the bathroom through the main bedroom. The condo has plenty of secure parking and it all feels very safe. The heating works really well if you have need of it."
75174,915557,2012-02-12,1619473,Allison,"We had a great time in Austin! David's condo has a perfect location... easily accessible to major highways as well as downtown and entertainment districts. It is just as pictured... no hidden surprises, except happy ones like the proximity of Lady Bird Lake and the nice walking trails! David was a great host; making special arrangements for us since we were arriving late and his communication before during and after our stay was very helpful. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer!"
75174,933708,2012-02-20,1673411,Mark,"I had a wonderful stay here the weekend of Feb 19 2012. Dave met us at the condo and was very accommodating. This Condo is located very close to downtown, easily within biking range. I left my phone charger and Dave was nice enough to send it to my house in Arizona. The view was great and I can't wait to come back soon. "
75174,968684,2012-03-04,1684640,Aaron,Excellent place to stay!!! David was super accommodating and the place was perfect for our time in Austin. Everything was spotless and the apartment was central to everything we needed.  David was responsive and courteous and made our stay in Austin hassle free.  I would go back there anytime.
75174,1079697,2012-04-03,1972360,Alex,"We had an awesome time in Austin!  The condo exceeded our expectations, so close to everything and very comfortable.  David made the whole process very easy, and was flexible when we needed a late checkout.  We would definitely stay here again when (not if) we come back."
75174,1142251,2012-04-17,1684948,Jess,Fantastic property! Condo was extremely clean and owner was very helpful. The view of the lake is awesome. Would definitely visit again. 
75174,1166737,2012-04-23,399948,Mark,"nice large condo that gives you plenty of room to spread out and relax.  They have a patio that is very nice to sit and drink a glass of wine or other adult beverage of choice.  The condo is next to walking and or running trails and is 50yds or so from the lake.  We did leave the patio door open one morning and the neighborhood cat came sauntering in.  But not to worry the cat was friendly and only stayed a couple of minutes before taking her leave. Dave and his wife are friendly outgoing people and dave told me to call him at anytime if I had any questions.  The Condo is only about 10 -12 minutes or so from South Congress where there is plenty of action and a like time distance to 6th street.  Suggestion got to Whole Foods on 6th street and partake of a cup of wine at their wine bar or go to the trattatoria or seafood area and sit and order a meal at a reasonable price, then wander the aisles and be amazed!"
75174,1190996,2012-04-28,1723367,Magda,"We had a great time staying at Dave's condo. The view from the lake was spectacular. The condo was very clean and beautifully design. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you David for letting us experience what living in Austin would be like, as we are planning to move there!"
75174,1207028,2012-05-01,1642377,Mike,"Tried airbnb on a whim, and did well for us!"
75174,1275014,2012-05-14,1716996,Rhys,"David's condo was perfect, great accommodation, great location and a fantastic host. Will stay at David's condo the next time i'm in Austin"
75174,1309085,2012-05-20,2104713,Greg,"The condo is exactly as listed. David communicated directions and coordinated our stay very effectively and was a pleasure to deal with. The UT campus is very close, maybe 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. 
Overall, this condo worked well as our ""home base"" for a weekend of graduation functions in Austin."
75174,1421953,2012-06-05,2407283,Rose,This is a very convenient location and David was an excellent host!.  I would definitely recommend to couples looking for a central location in Austin and also to those who want to get out and get some exercise as the trail by Lady Bird Lake is right there!
75174,1801361,2012-07-25,2993902,Emilio,"Awesome place, nice and quiet!  Coming back!

75174,1843395,2012-07-30,3002958,Caitlin,"My friend and I were visiting Austin for the first time and we couldn't have chosen a better spot to stay than David's condo. Private but not remote, minimalist yet very comfortable, it made a convert of my friend who was at first wary of the AirBnB system. David was an excellent host; he made it clear that he'd be available if we needed him, but left us to experience the city on our own. (And when I left the condo unexpectedly the worse for wear, he was very understanding about the mess!)

Considering the time of year, we found the patio had quite a few mosquitoes but nothing bug spray and a citronella candle couldn't handle. The condo itself was extremely comfortable, very quiet, wonderfully clean and offered a very safe gated parking lot and swimming pool. I would 100% recommend David's condo to anyone visiting Austin."
75174,1961026,2012-08-12,3094637,Tracy,"I had planned this trip for a year with my son, for a week of riding Harleys, golf, 6th street music, and just hanging out. I had booked a hotel, but Googled homes for rent in Austin. Airbnb came up and it ended up being the best decision of the trip. David Lundstedt's place has everything you would ever need and want. It was secure with the coded gate so we did not have to worry about the bikes, it had enough parking for all of our toys and it had everything from a washer/dryer to WiFi to At&T Universe. The view of the live oaks out the back, Lake Lady Bird 100 yards away, and the pool gave us plenty to do on property. David met me on site and had the air on and gave me the tour and info i need for the stay. "
75174,2195497,2012-09-04,2135819,Ryan & Julie,"David's Austin condo provided the perfect location for our Labor Day vacation. We felt like locals with his clean and cozy place as our temporary home. Over the course of the weekend we attended a UT game, spent time on South Congress, and ventured to a couple favorite spots - Uchiko, Quack's Bakery, and Whip In. We didn't have to drive far at all to get to any of those places. We really enjoyed spending time on his back patio in between activities. David greeted us upon arrival and was quite kind. Highly recommended. "
75174,2265941,2012-09-11,3360779,Jackie,"Great location, within 10 minutes drive from the downtown area, with a lovely patio and access to the lake. David was very prompt and helpful with any questions or concerns. The only issue we had was with the very soft mattress in the bedroom - could be a problem for anyone with back problems. Otherwise, lovely place and would recommend it to others!"
75174,2311017,2012-09-17,3309447,Joe,"Incredible! My girlfriend and I loved this place so much.

Sitting by the lake was such a great way to start and end our long, hectic Austin days. We even set aside an afternoon just to drink a bottle of wine there instead of seeing the sights.

Location is fantastic.  Refuge right by I-35.  So easy to get to 6th Street, UT, SoCo and Barton Springs.

David is a great host -- friendly and efficient.  No complaints whatsoever.

Highly recommended."
75174,2415721,2012-09-25,3617551,Bryant,"My girlfriend and I went to Austin for a short getaway weekend for her birthday. We've never used Airbnb before, so we did not know what to expect. At first I admit we were a bit skeptical but after meeting David and seeing his place in person we were impressed. The stay there was amazing. Apart from just having a nice place, it was very clean and tidy. Plenty of room for two people, this really made us feel at home. Apart from this, the location is perfect; not too far away at all from downtown and it was nice to have access to both the pool and the lake. David is a great host, apart from being friendly, he was attentive and helpful. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay! Needless to say we will always consider David's place first when visiting Austin!"
75174,2561693,2012-10-09,3558754,Stephanie,"First experience with AirBnB was great thanks to David. Roomy and clean condo in a great location (easy access to I-35, South Congress, and downtown). David was a great host. We really enjoyed our stay. "
75174,2599317,2012-10-13,2819017,Wolfgang,This is a rave review :-) David is a thoroughly professional and accomodating host and knows how to use and install modern gadgets. Was particularly impressed with the printer to allow for printing boarding tickets directly from the iPad. 
75174,2630312,2012-10-16,3422931,Kim,"Not only was David very accommodating and friendly, his condo was very clean and stocked with all the vacation essentials. We loved the convenient location, the waterfront views and access, and the added security of the access gate and door box. Additionally, the bed was very comfortable and I slept like a baby. David is a very friendly and resourceful host. We will be staying at his condo again in the future.
Kim and Chris Lumley, Cedar Park, TX "
75174,2681093,2012-10-22,3508448,Chris,"Prior to getting there David was very helpful with directions. Upon arrival David was there when we arrived and was Great!!! He gave us a tour of the condo (which is beautiful and has everything you need for an amazing weekend or more) and there was cold beer, water and wine in the frig. The bed was comfortable and we got to sleep in each am. The walk to sit on the deck was beautiful and we got to relax and watch people row, ducks float by, and see a beautiful sunset in the evening. This will definantly be a place to stay again, IT WAS AWESOME"
75174,2832851,2012-11-07,2222365,Stuart,"Great location and great apartment. David was very easy to organise my rental with and the arrival process was very painless. Also very understanding of me leaving his place in less than stellar shape due to almost missing my flight.

Great price and great location, I don't understand why anyone would stay in a hotel :)"
75174,2939503,2012-11-22,1607144,Robert,"Great host, easy access to/from the airport. Highly recommended."
75174,3187249,2012-12-30,4173958,Chuck,Enjoyed our stay and the location of the condo is great and close to downtown Austin.  Great walking trails nearby along Lady Bird Lake.  David met with us upon arrival and appreciated considering that it was Christmas Eve.  Spacious living area and good size kitchen.  Enjoyable.
75174,3787313,2013-03-15,1234771,Dan,"The location is perfect! Just a short hop to downtown, but far enough to be quiet. 
 David, and Waterfront Condo will be my goto stay any time I'm in Austin. "
75174,3880875,2013-03-24,3269190,Rebecca,"Awesome place to stay. . . Pics totally accurate. Was here for a full week for an academic research trip with 2 colleagues. Place was perfect for winding down and relaxing after long days of site visits. We even entertained some local UT friends on our last evening on the back lawn by the lake, impressing local colleagues with our find! :)  They didn't know these condos existed. Also notable, David stopped by and saved us mid-week by re-stocking coffee filters (and coffee beans while he was at it). . . Great trails nearby for exercise. Highly recommended. "
75174,3932447,2013-03-28,5507057,Sam /Joe Tasse,"We stayed in Dave's condo from (phone number hidden).  It was perfect for my wife and me, from Michigan, who wanted to see some of Austin for a few days.  The location is only a couple miles drive to downtown where parking is easily available.  The lakefront is nice, although the weather was a bit cool so we didn't spend any time there or in the pool.
The queen bed is great --a posturepedic and very comfortable after running all day long.  The condo is not fancy but very adequate with a full kitchen, large dining/family room area and a nice wall-mounted flat screen TV.  The bathroom is adequate but not large with a bath/shower and nice light above the mirror at the sink.  Towels are provided.
The airport is relatively close which worked for us.  The condo is in an area that is improving with a fair amount of construction underway, which seems to be the case throughout Austin.  Parking is secure via code key entry.  Stay off the freeway during rush hour -- it's packed.
Dave was great, accommodating our late arrival on Sunday night.  We'd definitely stay here again.
"
75174,4057691,2013-04-06,3805958,Pam,"Very sweet apartment. Good sized living area. Nice patio, and walkway to really nice sitting area on the lake. David is a thoughtful host! Would definitely come back."
75174,4704698,2013-05-21,5593082,Eddie,David and his wife have a fantastic condo. Everything about the description on Airbnb is 100% accurate. There are no surprises. They were very accomodating and made themselves availalble if I needed any assistance although I got along fine in Austin on my own. 
75174,5926445,2013-07-22,7333292,Edith & Ken,David has a jewel of a spot!  Nice and clean. Great neighborhood for walking. Even better for sitting and watching the sunsets. We'll be back! Thanks.
75174,6369261,2013-08-10,5230352,Donna,"David is a great host. He met us at the condo and explained how everything works. The condo is decorated beautifully and the location on the lake was the best!!   We enjoyed the pool and sitting on the dock, watching the bats come out at dusk and visiting with the turtles that swim nearby.   There are several great restaurants within walking distance and David can provide suggestions. Would definitely stay here again."
75174,8007972,2013-10-12,9096174,Renee,Great place.  Lots of room.  Nice patio.  Very accessible to downtown.  Host was responsive and easy to work with.  Thanks for a great visit.
75174,8257709,2013-10-22,3595252,Anna,The condo was very comfortable and as indicated in the pictures.  We were particularly pleased with the comfort of the bed!  It allowed us to get a great nights sleep each night we were there.  Also David was accessible and professional.  The location is also ideal!
75174,8545848,2013-11-04,9583885,Amanda,"David's condo was the perfect place for our stay in Austin. We were there for a wedding and wanted to explore the city without a car.

The location was so convenient to the bus stop we were able to see a lot of the city with just the bus and walking. We appreciated the detailed instructions and recommendations too. We did take a few cabs and super shuttle and everything worked out fairly easily. The $1 airport shuttle didn't run early enough for us to catch our flight home but we took it when we landed. 

The Buzz Mill being right down the street was perfect! Where else can you get coffee, drinks, BBQ, and music in one place? 

We really appreciated the water in the fridge because we walked so much every day. That was a nice touch. We were out the whole time so we didn't end up using the kitchen much but liked that we had it.  We definitely took advantage of the wifi to search yelp for places to check out & having patio space was great too! Plus having a washer/dryer there was nice. 

We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Austin! Thanks David we had a great first trip to Austin! "
75174,8686574,2013-11-12,1304992,Jennifer,"I would recommend David's condo to anybody visiting Austin!  I had family that needed a place to stay, and David's place was perfect.  He maintained good communication and sent detailed instructions prior to the stay.  I also really appreciate his flexibility with check in and check out.  The condo itself is great - right on the lake with a nice outdoor patio area, very clean and spacious inside.  My brother and sister in law loved it!  Thanks David for being so accommodating!"

David was a great host- super reliable, very timely replies, and incredibly considerate of all his guests needs! I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Austin!"
75174,10753612,2014-03-05,12678667,Stephen,David's place was better than described! The view was spectacular and made my short visit seem like an actual vacation. This was my first AirBNB experience and David made me comfortable and at ease. He was very responsive via text. Bed was actually very comfortable. Two big screen TVs with Uverse and Bluray player made the stay a little more like being in my own home. I wish I had more time off and could have stayed longer! I will definitely stay at Davids again! 
75174,10953207,2014-03-15,9735835,Dan,"David's apartment was great. Just the base we needed for our Austin & SxSW stay. Close enough to downtown to walk in 30 minutes but nice and quiet too. Clean, modern and comfortable I would recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Austin. "
75174,11248365,2014-03-26,4331581,Alyssa,"David was incredibly accommodating, thorough and friendly. His instructions were clear and he was available to us throughout our stay. It was a pleasure to rent from him!"

75174,11737315,2014-04-14,11380194,Brian,"Awesome stay! Very close to downtown and to the MotoGP track.  Less traffic to worry about and there's a lunch/dinner truck park nearby so if you dont want to go far to eat out, you can eat nearby and save money!"
75174,12069672,2014-04-22,927446,Marc,"Apt came as advertised - great location on the lake and a 20 minute walk to downtown.  David was easy to deal with, left detailed instructions and a well-stocked apt.  Thanks!"

Friendly neighbors and located in a awesome area. Great view of the lake and a wonderful outdoor space. We had everything that we needed. The location was perfect. Easy access to SoCo, Rainey Street and Downtown. David provided us with the essentials that we needed and then allowed us to enjoy our weekend. We could not have asked for a better experience with our first AirBnB rental. We will be be back here for sure."
75174,13332495,2014-05-25,15673923,Alla,"It was exactly what we expected. David was very helpful and thoughtful.

75174,15140693,2014-07-03,2433688,Nic John,"The Host:
David was wonderful and worked with me to ensure a good stay. He was helpful when needed and permitted me privacy when at the location.

The Place:
Clean and spacious. Great for long stays and those who plan to cook in. In-unit laundry machine and dishwasher was a big plus for me. David keeps things well stocked. The bedroom gets a little bit of noise from neighbors who walk by outside but otherwise its not a big deal. Its also nice that the entire compound is gated and that the parking lot is well lighted at night. 

The Location:
Extremely good for runners, cyclists, and walkers given the proximity to the new Lady Bird Lake boardwalk. Fast and easy to SoCo, Downtown, and East Austin. HEB Plus Grocery Store and Walgreens and CVS are extremely close. I had to work at UT Austin and the commute was incredibly easy. "
75174,17267990,2014-08-10,3993136,Hass,David is a fantastic host. He made our stay a joy. We will happily stay here again next time we're in Austin. 
75174,21130550,2014-10-12,20129366,Ben,Great host and perfect location. David made himself very available for any questions we had up to and throughout our stay. Will definitely be staying there again the next time we're in Austin.
75174,21278982,2014-10-14,17890906,Michael,"There are certainly many things positive to speak of with this property.  Its a wonderful location, price, and the amenities within the condo itself are perfect and have a taste of personalization.   There is more than you need!

What I appreciated most was working with David.  He was flexible and communicated well with me on entering, leaving, and things to be aware of.  It was my wedding weekend and his place was just perfect.  He really made the experience however, by ensuring we were happy. "
75174,22015933,2014-10-28,3851758,Vanessa,"Fantastic condo in the perfect location for our stay. David was very communicative and the condo was in perfect condition for our stay. I loved having coffee on the back patio in the mornings. Spacious, clean and centrally located!"
75174,22296317,2014-11-03,1581335,Michael,Virkelig lækker lejlighed i rolige omgivelser og alligevel få minutters kørsel fra Austin centrum. David svarer ekstremt hurtigt og hjælpsomt på alle henvendelser og alt omkring indtjekning forløb perfekt og simpelt. Perfekt!

The apartment was perfect for me, great location and very peaceful and comfortable. David also went out of his way to give me some good advice on local food and attractions. "
75174,22577937,2014-11-10,5527839,Ally,"This condo is WONDERFUL! We had an awesome stay. David was great and very flexible with check in & also letting us leave our bags as we had a late flight the day of check out. Communication with David was easy and fast! The condo was very spacious and very well appointed! We are so thankful there was a washer/dryer in the condo too. Condo was gated so we felt very safe, neighbourhood was good too. Location was excellent, we used Uber a few times to get downtown for under $10! We also used the boardwalk too, which goes straight to the condo from downtown, with a private gated entrance. Great lake views and city views from the boardwalk right outside! Overall we had the best time and will recommend to our friends travelling to Austin. We hope to return one day! Thanks again! "
75174,22710944,2014-11-12,22925823,Debra,Great location and so easy to work with. 
75174,23990622,2014-12-16,13322261,Trey,"Location, location, location.  David's condo is the best deal if you want to experience the best of Austin -- Lady Bird Lake, hike/bike trail, downtown, and easy access to major highways and public transportation.  

The condo was ready for us and exactly what we expected based on the photos."
75174,26200722,2015-02-06,16575279,Anil,David was great. Location was convenient. Condo had everything you could ask for. It was a good stay.
75174,26335679,2015-02-09,1107490,Vanessa,"My family and I had a wonderful stay. The location was great, right by the water and good for hiking. David was a great host and allowed us to check out late. Thanks!"
75174,26988992,2015-02-23,26055462,Justin,"We had a lot of fun at David's condo! The location is perfect, right by the water with easy access to the parks and the boardwalk. The condo itself was great and we would definitely stay here again!"
75174,27177478,2015-02-27,22730164,Steven,great place! as described. its quiet and clean. nice running on the river
75174,31027009,2015-05-01,15040697,Karen,"The listing was exactly what it looked like online.  The condo was very clean when I arrived, and David left perfect instructions on how to find the unit, how to get in, etc.  All in all it was a perfect place for me to stay in Austin for two months.  David's condo has all the amenities to make a long term stay very comfortable and will make you feel very much ""at home.""  I loved the private patio overlooking the lake, and the location couldn't have been more perfect. I walked on the boardwalk to Rainey Street, downtown, and Congress Avenue. The bus stop is a quick 5 minute walk which will take  you right to Congress or downtown (or the airport).  David is a fantasitic host and responded to any inquiries that I had within minutes.  This is a great place for a short term stay, but also fabulous for a long term stay in Austin.  I highly recommend it!!  If you stay here, the Buzz Mill down the street is a must ""go-to"" place!  "
75174,31468617,2015-05-05,6504195,Matt,"The location of this condo is perfect, right next to the water, with easy walking access to the boardwalk. The living-room is spacious, and kitchen is quite nice as well. We were too busy exploring Austin to use the pool, but we would love to stay here again next time we visit."
75174,31740328,2015-05-09,27505905,John,An absolutely delightful experience. I look forward to staying at their condo again!
75174,31958258,2015-05-12,29526779,Heather,"David's place was perfect for my visit to Austin. We never met David as we used codes to access the condo- this was hassle-free, just what we wanted for a vacation. His place was reasonably-priced, and I'm thankful we were able to book it for our trip. "
75174,32487186,2015-05-18,9879948,Meg,"David's condo was the perfect home away from home. It was clean, spacious, and nicely decorated. It is close to downtown and outdoor activities. There was ample parking near the apartment and a gate around the property so we felt secure. We went right out for a run on the boardwalk by using a key to get out of the gate and straight out onto the river. The 10 mile gave us access to running, biking, kayaking etc. We walked to the Congress Ave. bridge to watch the bats emerge and too Uber back after a night out downtown. 
The bedroom and living room had blackout curtains which, combined with the comfortable mattress, gave us uninterrupted sleep. In the mornings we enjoyed coffee and listening to the birds on the back patio and David had thoughtfully provided bug spray right on the outdoor table. 
We enjoyed everything about our stay and would definitely look David up again if we return to Austin."
75174,32900544,2015-05-23,5556252,Liora,"This is a great place to stay in Austin. Its got everything you will need. Its a great large condo. Easy access to buses. Great communication from david, easy to deal with."
75174,33370430,2015-05-27,444750,York,"David's place is just as advertised and great for a stay in Austin. Perfect if you have a car but also very close to several bus lines and its a pretty cheap Uber/Lyft ride to get to all the hot spots if you don't. 

We were there during a Tornado warning and the closet made a great shelter! 

I'd recommend this place to anybody looking to visit Austin. "
75174,45551893,2015-09-04,31277608,Burga,"Very high recommendation for David as host and his apartment!

I was here for nearly three months and David responded to everything immediately in a very kind and helpful way.

If I did not need him I had my privacy. He is a very correct and courteous man.

His condo is a great place, fully furnished with everything you need, including own washing machine and dryer.  It’s a very good Wi-Fi-connection which was very important for me.

The location is perfect, very near to the beautiful boardwalk at the river and downtown.
I enjoyed this stay in this apartment very much.

I am thankful to have found this place and I am grateful to David for everything he did!

 "
75174,46653070,2015-09-12,27505905,John,"I frequently work in Austin and stay at David's condo whenever it's available. It's clean, quiet, and close to all the amenities I need to feel like home. I almost hate to recommend it, because I want it to be available the next time I visit. Nevertheless, I give it full recommendations and hope you enjoy your stay as much as I have."
75174,47623667,2015-09-21,33059185,Kimberly,Loved the condo!!  David was great to work with and was very timely in answering any questions I had. The condo complex was quiet which was much needed after long days at convention. We had everything we needed away from home. We will definitely book again when in Austin if it's available. 
75174,48884463,2015-09-29,10271958,Mirtha,The neighborhood was amazing!  Very accessable to all the happening places in Austin.  David made me feel welcome with all the information that was posted in the actual apartment.  Would definately recommend!!!  
75174,49761043,2015-10-06,6603522,Jordan,David provided all the information we could need to enjoy our stay at his condo. The property was in a good area and well maintained. We enjoyed the decor and cleanliness of the interior and took advantage of our proximity to the water.
75174,50742896,2015-10-14,169369,Amanda,"Austin was fantastic and David's condo made our stay their even more enjoyable. Location was on point!. A $5-$8 uber ride to pretty much all the different hot spots. 7-11 coveniently close by and the accomodations were cool and comfortable. Small patio to smoke, boardwalk just outside the gate"

Chris was so nice to drop us downtown, we were in Austin for SXSW and it was really helpful! 
If you have a car, it's a perfect situation, close to south congress and if you don't it's very easy to go downtown with a direct bus line. 
Very good experience! I highly recommend Chris' house!"
966601,3809481,2013-03-17,871773,Erin,Chris and Jan were lovely to work with. The house was perfectly clean and very inviting. The room was extremely comfortable and the bed was too. I loved the back patio and enjoyed drinking coffee in the sun every morning. It is just a few miles from downtown Austin and made my very busy experience as a musician playing in SXSW very relaxing and enjoyable. I would highly recommend working with them!

966601,4329254,2013-04-28,2045491,Jan,"We spent 7 nights at this cosy, comfortable home which is located within an easy drive, or bus ride, to Austin's treasures.  It is 'shared' accommodation but the owner is away most of the time so it is like having it to yourself (and when she is there she is very friendly and accommodating).  There is a spacious living area, access to a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer, the bedroom has a queen size bed, large closet and flat screen tv.  We particularly enjoyed the back garden which gets lots of sun in the morning.  All-in-all:  everything you need (unless you need an en suite!) and great value for money."
966601,4538400,2013-05-11,6165484,Kit,"The place was perfect for our 10 day stay. Quaint, nice location where we were made to feel right at home. Chris was very helpful,  quick to respond to our same-day check-in and even recommended some shows to go check out. Jan is so sweet and she was barely around since she works and lives off-site most of the week. I would absolutely recommend their place! "
966601,4721784,2013-05-21,6384369,Kathleen,"Very nice stay :).  This was my first stay through airbnb and I will be doing it again!  Chris' place was very clean and welcoming and I really appreciated him checking in with me a couple time to be sure all was well too.  Thanks Chris!!!

While I didn't have a car, there is a bus stop just around the corner with regular buses downtown so I felt quite close to the action.

I'd definitely stay here again if I visit Austin in the future."

966601,29757836,2015-04-12,25119022,Elisa,"This was my first time using Airbnb and my first trip to Austin. Couldn't have been happier. The home is beautiful and Chris is very knowledgeable when it comes to places to visit in Austin. The location is perfect, right outside the city. We were able to Uber everywhere and never had to wait more than 4 minutes for a car. Austin is a great city and staying here made it all the better. 

The zen garden is so peaceful."

I was welcomed by the host Chris and shown every courtesy to make my 5 day visit to Austin one of my most positive traveling experiences ever! I plan to stay at Chris's every time I am fortunate enough to have a workshop in Austin. Many thanks for a great visit and all the comforts of home!"

Saved a lot of money with kitchen instead of eating out and overall just a great first Texas experience. Great host and was always available for any help we needed. Highly recommended  "

Her apartment was clean, neat and inviting, and the perfect size for us during our stay.  

The neighborhood is close to Congress, Zilker Park and pretty much anything else you need.  As a bonus, there is a great little gastro-style pub within walking distance.  "

Left us detailed information about where to find everything we needed ( blankets, towels, garbage facilities, and wireless internet. She was accessible when we needed her guidance. The place was small, but when you try to fit 5 people in it, of course that will come up.

This place would be IDEAL for 2-3 people. $10 uber ride to DT. $15 uber ride to airport. Walking distance to coffee. Would I work with Annie again? Yes. 

Thank you again Annie."

Christi was great with communication and the house was impeccable upon arrival. She thoughtfully left us some snacks which was great after a long day of work and not knowing what was around/open late night. Highly recommend this house if you're traveling in the Austin area.

She made sure that we knew everything that was in walking distance of the house (which is a lot of great stuff) and ensured that our visit was comfortable, even leaving a few ponchos since the forecast called for rain.

I made the booking on the day of, relatively late in the evening, yet Prerna was quick to respond and accommodating of my late arrival and early departure the next morning. The house is about twenty minutes from downtown Austin, but easy to find and nestled in a quiet, safe neighborhood. My room was immaculate and furnished tastefully. It's also right off the entrance to the garage, well apart from the rest of the rooms, affording the guest a good degree of privacy. I'd be happy to stay at Prerna's again next time I find myself in Austin."
227372,998909,2012-03-14,1573701,Tom,"I stayed at this place along with 3 others for SxSW this year. An awesome location and really cool space. Sean was a great host and everything went perfectly.

Worth noting that if you are travelling with more than 2 adults and are looking for separate sleeping arrangements for each, you will need to put someone on the couch or an air mattress that Sean provides. The space is huge, though, and this set-up works just fine. 

Highly recommended.

This loft is truly unique and located in one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Austin.  My girlfriend and I had a great time exploring the funky shops and better restaurants along Congress.  The loft had everything we needed to cook as well as stocked beer left for us in the fridge.  Everything worked correctly as far as laundry, television, A/C and all other listed amenities. Sean was very accommodating and helpful and I will definately recommend this loft to visiting friends and family.  I've stayed in a few of the nicer hotels in Austin and this place is worth every bit of their listing price.  "
227372,35507324,2015-06-19,8010150,Anthony,Sean is a great host and the location of the unit couldn't be better for exploring South Congress neighborhood.  Very funky layout of the place as well!

The hosts were accommodating and hospitable, so much that we built our experiences around their recommended list of places to visit and eat. It's an ideal place to stay in Austin."
227372,39039500,2015-07-20,20615348,Martha,We had an awesome time at the Allens Boots loft. The place was very tidy and beautiful. Lauren was very quick to respond to all of my texts. The location couldn't be any better. Will definitely recommend to friends!
227372,40533994,2015-07-31,469339,Gina,"The loft is hands down the nicest airbnb I've ever stayed at, in Austin or elsewhere. It's spacious, wonderfully decorated, and in a great location right in the middle of SoCo. Lauren was very communicative and accommodating with a late checkout, which was great because my flight was delayed. I would love to stay here again anytime I have the chance."
227372,42775426,2015-08-15,4161074,Justine,Our stay in Sean and Lauren's boot loft was perfect. The location couldn't be any better especially if you love to eat and shop. Our hosts made it a seamless process to check in and out. We had plenty of space and the loft is designed perfectly for all your needs . I look forward to staying here again. 5 stars :)
227372,43658660,2015-08-21,39269712,Bill,They stay was great.  It's huge and maybe the cleanest place I have ever stayed.  I was welcomed via text as soon as I walked into the home and Lauren checked in a couple of times just  to see how we were doing.  I look forward to staying there next time.  My only extra expense was buying new boots at the boot store below.   Thanks Lauren and Sean
227372,45991985,2015-09-07,8116672,Jake,"This was one of the coolest places we've ever stayed at in Austin! This modern western loft right on South Congress was perfect in terms of convenience for all the places we wanted to go. Lauren & Sean were also super accommodating and very easy to communicate with, very laid back and awesome hosts with an awesome place! Would look to stay here for option 1, 2, & 3 upon our next trip to our favorite city!"
227372,46722833,2015-09-13,3835345,Bart + Kelly,"The loft is very large and comfortable for two couples, we loved staying here! So close to the fun end of South Congress but surprisingly quiet during the night.

Host was communicative and answered questions quickly. There were a few beers and sodas in the fridge which was much appreciated after a long day driving. 

If staying here make sure to save some time to relax inside the loft, watch a game on the TV or have a night in cooking. This place warrants it!


"
227372,47688932,2015-09-21,40137037,Lisa,"We absolutely loved staying at the Allen Boots Loft!  The listing and reviews are 100% accurate -- very clean, great location, well designed loft with the most welcoming hosts to boot! Sean & Lauren were very responsive, accomodating and helpful.  They compiled one of the best lists of all things Austin to welcome you, along with some cold Lone Stars in the fridge.  Check-in and check-out is super easy.  I highly recommend staying here and tack-on an extra day too!"
227372,48552245,2015-09-27,7899791,Ali,Sean and Lauren were fantastic hosts! Their home is beautiful and I would highly recommend their place to anyone traveling to Austin. Their home was beautifully appointed and the thoughtful touches of cold lone star beer were greatly appreciated! We hope to be back soon!
227372,49283048,2015-10-02,19818707,Lana & Lee,"Sean and Lauren's loft was just wonderful. Located right on South Congress, walking distance from many shops and restaurants. We would be happy to stay again, and you can be sure that you're in good hands if you'll stay here too. "
227372,49589221,2015-10-05,33247440,Emmanuel,"Staying here was one of many highlights during our ACL weekend.  Our host where very accommodating and their recommendations where spot on.  The loft was extremely clean, spacious, and in an excellent location.  The pictures do not do it justice.  Will definitely stay here again."
227372,50278796,2015-10-11,39195402,Mike,"By FAR the coolest place to stay in Austin.  The location puts you in the middle of the hippest part of Austin (South Congress) and is walking distance to great restaurants and just a couple of miles from Zilker Park/Barton Springs so a perfect home base for ACL, etc. The loft is open and spacious and definitely has an Austin feel to it. I can't say enough how cool and convenient this place is. "
227372,51127746,2015-10-18,6793402,Alison,We had a great stay at Allen's Boots Loft! Great location and perfect for a weekend getaway. We'd definitely stay there again when in Austin.
227372,52140564,2015-10-26,1123985,Laura,Another extension!
227372,52380036,2015-10-28,1123985,Laura,"So amazing we extended TWICE! Lauren was an amazing an accessible host, making our stay even better. The loft is gorgeous, clean, and immaculately designed. The kitchen is spectacular ! The beds are super comfortable and the master bath is heaven. Very private, even tho the boots store is downstairs. Would love to stay here again when I'm back in town!"
227372,52559374,2015-10-30,1123985,Laura,Great to stay even longer!
227372,52698864,2015-11-01,43885770,James,Thanks to Lauren and Sean for an AMAZING weekend.  The loft is beautiful and the location is ideal.  Easy and clear communication made for a perfect weekend.  Would strongly recommend this Airbnb!
68130,172553,2011-01-19,339845,M,"A nice little apartment, clean and tidy. Pluses are the interesting neighborhood and congeniality of the hosts. No real complaints except lack of heat during an unusually cold January, which Drew remedied with a brand new heater. Watch out, though, for the tiles at the bottom of the stairs - they are slippy when wet! A very nice place for a short stay."
68130,173768,2011-01-23,347510,Ashley,"Drew and Simone are absolutely wonderful hosts! My boyfriend and I enjoyed our stay with them so much that we had to add on an extra day :) 
The flat was the perfect size, extremely clean and included everything we needed. "
68130,177205,2011-02-01,340483,Natalie,"Staying at Drew's flat was our first airbnb experience and it could not have gone better.We were greeted by Drew and his whole family, we even got to meet their feathered friends, one of whom had recently laid her first egg! The apt was top notch, so clean and comfortable. It  actually was even nicer than the photo's let on! Really loved the decor and the semi circle shower stand was awesome, so modern, I was secretly stealing design ideas! We were very impressed with the flat and plan to stay here again. Thank you Drew and family for being so warm and welcoming."
68130,179263,2011-02-07,336139,Adam,"Drew and Simone were excellent hosts. Everything was all set for us upon arrival, the apartment was clean, and we felt very comfortable there. The entrance to the apartment is in the backyard, up a set of stairs over the garage and separate from the house.  We felt free to come and go without worrying about disrupting their household.  The chickens and dogs were often hanging out in the yard, and always fun to see as we headed out for the day.

We experienced Austin during the absolute freakiest cold spell, with below-freezing temperatures, snow, ice and strong winds.  Our hosts provided a space heater that was portable and efficient with circulating and warming the air in the aparment.  Its good that it is lightweight and portable, because we did move it between the main room to the bath room as needed to keep things at a cozy temperature.  I think that most people will not experience this situation, since we were there in a ""worst-case"" scenario regarding the weather.

There is a nice flat-screen tv with netflix and pandora but otherwise no channels.  This was preferable to us, and we used the netflix quite a bit.  Wifi was also provided and quite useful.

The Hyde Park location was great for us, coffee shops & groceries are easy walking distance.  We were there mostly to check out the city and surrounding neighborhoods.  We spent one day walking from the apartment through Hyde Park, down to the University, Capitol, and downtown.  So it is possible to walk all the way downtown from the apartment, but it is quite a hike.  If you don't have a car it would make sense to get familiar with the bus schedule for the area or locate a bike.

We would highly recommend this apartment rental to individuals or couples that are visiting Austin and looking for a cozy, clean, & relaxed place to stay with fairly close access to the university and to downtown."
68130,270339,2011-05-19,411018,John,"I stayed here in May, 2011 and absolutely loved it.  It is located in the best neighborhood in Austin, walking distance to almost everything you need.  It is clean, bright and modern and very quiet.  And Drew and Simone are really fantastic owners...very responsive and helpful.  At the last minute, our plans changed and my wife and two young sons joined me for the first 10 days of my stay--Drew and Simone accomodated us happily and made our stay a very pleasant one.  I have stayed several places in Austin and this place was the absolute best. Thanks!"
68130,278150,2011-05-24,63563,Kitty,"Our stay in Austin could not have been nicer. The apartment is as advertised and more--clean, comfortable, and just plain nice. Because I knew the Hyde Park area, I knew what to expect and where to find whatever--and there is a lot in the area. Whether it's taking a walk to get a cup of coffee or dinner at Mother's, etc., or just taking a run, the area is the perfect base for an Austin visit. Drew and his wife could not have been more considerate of us as guests, and we hope to stay here again when we visit our daughter. And don't overlook a visit to the Elizabet Ney historic site a few blocks away. It's one of the best sites of its type that I've run across."
68130,291877,2011-05-31,613521,Dan,"Drew was a great host.  He was very responsive and helpful.  The flat was exactly as advertised, nice and very clean as reflected in the photos.  Hyde Park is also an excellent location.   "
68130,295160,2011-06-02,634644,MaryClare,"My daughter and I stayed in this wonderful apartment while we moved her out of her Austin college home.  We were able to relax, enjoy Austin, and allow her to say goodbye to her home for the last four years.  The apartment was clean, well appointed, and our hosts were hospitable.  We will be back!  maryclare & bess"
68130,300205,2011-06-06,556451,Jeri,"Drew And Simone were great hosts! Their place was spotless and smelled so clean and fresh.I did""nt have a blow dryer so Drew went and bought one for me to use.They are truly accommdating and made sure we were very comfortable."
68130,331391,2011-06-24,549378,Rita,"My husband and I used the flat as ""home base"" for the first week of a two-week trip to Texas. It was the perfect choice! Drew and Simone could not have been more welcoming and friendly. And the location was easily accessible, in a pretty neighborhood, that's a combination of funk and charm. The apartment itself was fresh, efficient, clean and inviting...a pleasure to return to after various day-trips and local adventures. We would return in a heartbeat."
68130,358147,2011-07-07,424209,Charles,"Fantastic experience! We stayed at Drew's garage flat for two nights after our weding in July.  We had to come in very late but we let Drew know and he left the lights on for us - along with a bottle of wine and chocolate!  What a wonderful surprise. Drew was a pleasure to interact with and we always felt well taken care of.

The place was VERY clean.  The room was wonderfully arranged - my wife and I took home some decorating ideas ;)  The paint was a lovely green, smooth bamboo floors, a comfy futon... great.  Air conditioning was good even though it was 100 degrees outside.  Curtains for plenty of privacy.  Drew even let us park in the garage!   We only wish we could stay more!

Be sure to stop at the Hyde Park convenience store - it's amazing!"
68130,365550,2011-07-11,547069,Rebecca,"Things were excellent here. Place is very centrally located, AC works really well (critical in Austin during the summer), really clean and well appointed.

Lots of excellent bakeries (Quacks!) & restaurants nearby and easy to get anywhere.

Drew was very accommodating and I learned something about my own chickens by talking to him about his. Fresh eggs if you ask for them!"
68130,376522,2011-07-16,576542,Joel,"A great place in downtown Austin close to shops, swimming, restaurants and entertainment. I chose to stay here rather than in North Austin to commute (approx 15-20 minutes) to enjoy and see more of the city. The host was great at arranging everything, the room very clean, and the complementary bottle of wine delicious. "
68130,391411,2011-07-23,808093,Troy,"I spent four nights at Drew's place while in Austin for business, and let me tell you, his place is very clean and very comfortable.  The air-conditioner worked very well, keeping the flat nice and cool, even when it was over 100 degrees outside.  The shower, bathroom, kitchenette, and utensils were clean, and the towels and linen smelled freshly washed.  The night I arrived, I found a bottle of wine and a bar of dark chocolate that he left as a thank you.  It sure hit the spot.  He allowed me to park my rental car in his garage, which was an extra plus. The neighborhood in which this rental is located is extremely peaceful and quiet.  It's also a short drive to downtown Austin.  I highly recommend Drew's flat to anyone who sincerely appreciates a simple, yet comfortable and clean environment.  I'd be more than happy to stay there again."
68130,399957,2011-07-27,450814,Amy,"Drew was a fantastic host!  Very kind, generous, and helpful.  He was always available to answer questions and give advise. 

The space was clean, modern, and organized.  Exactly like the photos.  

Overall an excellent experience.

Loved the chickens!"
68130,431473,2011-08-09,681406,Catherine,"My mother and sister stayed here during a weekend visit to Austin. The place was very clean and comfortable, and the host was great to work with. I'll definitely have visitors stay here in the future."
68130,437821,2011-08-11,834843,Linda,"Spent two days at Drew's while in Austin.  Very comfortable studio with great air conditioning (important when it is 105 outside).  It was quiet and great for sleeping in a bit and also we didn't have to worry about bothering anyone else as the studio is separate from the house.  Drew checked in with me by phone twice on the day I was due to arrive to make sure I knew how to get in and that I would be comfortable during my stay.  Will stay again--in fact tried to on my return, but he was already booked.  "
68130,454013,2011-08-17,62934,Katherine,"Just PERFECT! Really. You can stop looking now----you found THE place to stay in Austin. Drew and Simone are great hosts, the apartment is seriously cute, clean, and comfy, and the neighborhood is wonderful! My husband and I would definitely stay there again! :)"
68130,475382,2011-08-25,868021,Katie,Drew was wonderful.  Very accommodating and friendly.  Pointed me in the direction of some great attractions and venues.  Would highly recommend to anyone.
68130,499441,2011-09-04,735837,Rich,"       Well this was our first time using airbnb and visiting Austin so we were not sure what to expect.  When we got there the place was even more beautiful then it looked in the pictures and was very neat and clean. The flat had everything you need and then some as well as some cool extra amenities (love pandora & netflix) The location was perfect as well and made getting everywhere we wanted to go very easy.  Drew gave us a full tour of the place and even was kind enough to give us some advice on where to find some good markets, restaurants, shopping, swimming pools and etc.  Drew and Simone were very gracious hosts and we enjoyed our stay there very much.  Simone even babysat our baby girl one night, while me and the wife enjoyed a romantic dinner and a few drinks, which was really cool.   When we return to Austin, we would not think of staying anywhere else."
68130,509290,2011-09-06,1092242,Adam,"There is no doubt in our minds, on how Drew has attained the coveted ""Superhost"" rating. Here is a list of why:
1. Drew is a natural when it comes to hosting and making someone feel welcome.
2. They have a great little nook above their garage that they make feel like home to the wondering traveler.
3. Drew offers little tidbits on where to go, what to eat, etc; which they all check out as great advice. What is also great is he is not pushy with these suggestions.
4. The location is perfect for someone wanting to unwind or just the opposite, someone who wants to get caught up in the buzz of the “local” Hyde Park area. You pick.
5. You are free to come and go as you please, and Drew is willing to work with you when it comes to check in and check out. 
6. Drew and his family have a sustainable future in mind, and they walk the talk. This coexists exactly with their neighborhood and surrounding area (Austin only). 
We hope this review helps to bring more people to Drew’s little slice of Austin. 
Drew- sorry for the lateness of the review.
"
68130,521067,2011-09-11,299809,Hadar And Alec,"Drew has this airbnb thing down to an art. The apartment is really lovely! Very very clean, cute, and well maintained. We were welcomed when we arrived and given a quick intro to Austin. We happily accepted the bottle of wine and the bar of dark chocolate that were left for us. 

They thought of just about everything here. Bug spray, body wash, and even on-site yoga and massage. We got plenty of towels to use. Both indoor and outdoor!  The A/C works quite well (we were there in 95 - 100 degree weather), and there's lots of natural light. The wifi was great, and there was a flat screen TV (which we never turned on, so cannot comment on). What is especially nice about this spot is that you are not directly above or below the host. The apartment is located above a garage which is separate from the host's house, so you have a great deal of privacy which we enjoy.

We are moving to Austin soon, and were very lucky to stay with someone who was so open to helping us think about neighborhoods, the housing market etc ....

We couldn't have imagined a better airbnb experience! 




"
68130,529449,2011-09-13,1110950,Zach,Drew was fantastic!  He had a lot of great local information when we got there for a weekend trip.  There was plenty of room and was very quiet.  It was 3 blocks to the bus system - for $1 you can get into Austin in 8 minutes.  Overall a fantastic option to stay close to the city.
68130,547271,2011-09-19,1120771,Vicki,"Great accomodations and great host.  The place was extremely comfortable!  Drew was very helpful with everything from restaurants, to  airport transportation.  Even had a great recommendation for a masseuse.  Will definitely come and stay again next time I am in Austin."
68130,560331,2011-09-23,1132258,Rhonda,"After searching days for the perfect place I found this!!!!!
I was in search of a honeymoon destination for my step daughter and her soon to be husband. My step daughter trusted me enough to make the reservations and keep it a surprise till the wedding day. Her request were Austin, and maybe a B & B if possible. After contacting Drew and communicating with him I knew i had found the right place.
Thank you Drew for making this so easy for me. The kids really enjoyed their stay. Super cute place!!!!! "
68130,596425,2011-10-04,835737,Cristina,"Sunny, spacious studio apartment perfectly equipped to accommodate a short-to-medium stay in Austin. Hosts are friendly, outgoing, and accommodating, doing everything to make the stay enjoyable (including a welcome wine and chocolate!) Two thumbs up for this unique alternative to the box-hotel experience. It is my first choice to stay next time I visit Austin."
68130,613514,2011-10-10,372614,Amanda & Luke,Drew is GREAT host! Like all the reviews say he has earned the superhost title. I had a few questions about restaurants and he took lots of time to give me helpful advice and awesome suggestions. When I asked about taxis at the airport he went above and beyond and arranged to have a taxi waiting for us when we arrived. The studio apartment above the garage is really cute and super clean. The only downside we experienced was the noise from the garage door when it opened and closed (it a little loud and woke us up). However this only happened a couple times and I would certainly still recommend this place. 
68130,657579,2011-10-24,81916,Justine,"Here's what my mom Elizabeth said about staying in the flat:  ""My brief four day stay at Drew Arnold's Hyde Park place was serenely charming.  The flat was spacious, comfortable and quiet.  Drew was gracious and helpful.  When I arrived, not only was the flat sparkling clean, but a lovely rose, bottle of wine, and bar of chocolate greeted me upon my arrival.  I will never stay in a hotel room again when there accommodations like this.  On a scale of 1 to 10, Drew's Hyde Park flat gets a 10!"""
68130,677461,2011-11-01,751918,Kathleen,This is a lovely spot very well-located in a charming and interesting part of Austin. The hosts are very attentive but not intrusive. The studio apartment is nicely furnished and has everything you need for a short or long stay. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. You can't do wrong with this place! 
68130,711266,2011-11-12,1254310,Tai,I second all the positive reviews. I spent two weeks in Drew and Simone's Hyde Park apartment and had a wonderful experience. It was the perfect mix of privacy and host-guest congeniality. The apartment is beautiful and much more spacious than it appears in the photos. The neighborhood is lovely and so are the hosts. Look no further!
68130,944105,2012-02-23,1695124,Barbara,"This was my first Airbnb rental and the experience could not have been more positive The studio is very fresh and clean.  My hosts were the most wonderful, kind people.   I stayed 11 days and enjoyed my stay with Drew and Simone.  The neighborhood is awesome.  Many restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.  The neighborhood grocery store was fun and efficient. It is a very quiet an peaceful studio with nice linens and dishes. I enjoyed being behind the family home in my own garage studio.  I would stay here again and again."
68130,969084,2012-03-04,1744979,Luce,"For a week, my husband and I stay at the Hyde park Flat - Bamboo Floors hosted by Drew and Simone.  Drew and his wife Simone were excellent hosts.  Drew went out of his way to help us with every demands we had.  The flat is beautifully decorated and very clean.  It is also walking distance to many restaurants, park and a short distance to downtown. What you see on the picture is really what you get.  I have no problem to recommend the Bamboo Floors flat to anyone.  Next time we go back to Austin, we are planning to stay there again and enjoy some more time with Drew and Simone.  Luce and Magdy"
68130,1093296,2012-04-07,1838033,Peter,Our stay was more like we were invited guests rather than paying renters. Everything was as shown on the website: new and clean and functional. The neighborhood is a great walking area when the weather is right and the nearby shops on 43rd and Duval give a chance to bring back food to the apartment or to eat out. Drew and his family are very friendly hosts and were eager to make our stay perfect.
68130,1126329,2012-04-13,2006334,Josephine,Drew was so welcoming and the flat was perfect.  We didn't give much notice before our stay but when we arrived everything was in place.  The flat was very much suited to our needs as it had a fully equipped kitchen a private shower and bath and we especially liked Pandora being channeled through the tv. The location of the flat is also nice as its situated in a quiet residential area but downtown is easily accessible and there are nice cafes and restaurants in walking distance. We would highly recommend this place and will stay again when we return to Austin!
68130,1137343,2012-04-16,1918496,Juan,"This was out first Airbnb experience, and we really didn't know what to expect. The place was very clean, and  there was plenty of info on local things to do. It was a fantastic experience, and we will stay there anytime we are in or near Austin! "
68130,1179729,2012-04-25,1857573,Dawn,"My sisters and I stayed here for a weekend get together.  The flat was clean, super cute, and in a great location.  Drew and Simone were excellent hosts!  They were both friendly and helpful.  Would definitely stay here again next time I'm in town!"
68130,1215472,2012-05-02,309355,Celina,"The apartment is not only very well equipped, but also very conformable and  well located. Drew and his wife go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to make sure you have all that you need. Overall, great experience, I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Austin. "
68130,1235028,2012-05-06,2112156,Judy,"This was a lovely and peaceful place.  It was attractive, clean  and inviting.  Drew was the perfect host!"
68130,1257778,2012-05-10,1740514,Aditi,"I was in Austin for a conference and stayed at Drew & Simone's place for 4 days. It is a bright, cute apartment above the garage with perfect little touches to make it very comfortable, absolutely nothing was amiss. It affords a lot of privacy and Drew checked in with me regularly throughout my stay to make sure everything was ok. I would highly recommend Drew & Simone's place to stay at for a trip to Austin, it doesn't take long (10-15 mins) to get downtown using a car or a cab and Hyde Park is a quaint neighborhood that provides a nice escape from the excitement of the big city. "
68130,1333871,2012-05-23,549378,Rita,"My husband and I recently spent twelve nights here. This was a return trip for us. We rented the apartment for about the same amount of time last year, and were so pleased with everything about it (the location, the cleanliness, the amenities) that it was a no-brainer deciding where to stay this time around. It worked perfectly for us as a ""home base"" and Drew and Simone couldn't be more perfect hosts. They are outgoing and friendly, happy to answer any questions we had, and at the same time, respectful of our privacy. I would recommend this apartment to anybody, regardless of the length of your stay. You won't be disappointed."
68130,1479095,2012-06-14,2216735,Chelsea,"As all the other reviewers have said, this place is beautiful, comfortable, and conveniently located, and the family hosting is delightful. I was in Austin for almost two weeks and I was grateful to have found a place to stay that was so perfect and also so affordable. 

The place is every bit as nice as it looks in the pictures--they haven't cut a single corner in designing, decorating, or outfitting it. It's also in a great neighborhood. I didn't have a rental car for the first week I was there and I had no problem getting everywhere I needed to go by bus or on foot.

I can't imagine anything that would make the experience staying here any more amazing than it was. Highly recommended for anyone headed to Austin! "
68130,1566462,2012-06-26,97930,Dan,"We had a fantastic time at Drew's space this week.  He was a great host and helped whenever we needed it, provided a smooth check in with great recommendations, and has a wonderful flat that was perfect for our time in Austin.  The location was great.  We went to every end of Austin at various times, and it seems like nothing was more than 15 minutes away, which was awesome!  I highly recommend staying here!"
68130,1594077,2012-06-30,2413609,Karen,"Great location and as said before, very neat and clean.  We had a great time!"
68130,1612342,2012-07-02,144115,Tanya,The Hyde Park Flat was a fantastic surprise in more ways than one for my visit to Austin.  Drew was a fantastic and accomodating host and the space was delightfully bright and clean.  The location was dreamy...a beautiful neighborhood and very centrally located.  I would definitely stay here.  (Another great surprise was that it turned out that Drew and I went to middle school together which I didn't know before I booked the location.  What a treat to reconnect!!)
68130,1668391,2012-07-09,2711475,Kimberly,"My stay with Drew and Simone was excellent!  The room is beautiful--spotlessly clean, cool, private, and comfortable.  Everything works perfectly (TV, air conditioner, shower, etc.).  These guys are also great hosts because they are kind, considerate, and available without being overbearing.  They gave me great advice about the city, and went above and beyond whenever I asked for a favor.  Also, the Hyde Park neighborhood is lovely and a great break from the downtown vibe.  There are several delicious cafes and restaurants nearby, and I never needed recommendations to enjoy them.  Overall, pretty much perfect.  Go to Barton Springs."
68130,1685112,2012-07-11,2687170,David,"heard so many great things about this flat, and they were all true!!
Husband and I were moving to Austin in the Hyde Park neighborhood and wanted to stay in the vicinity till we could move in. Drew and Simone were very gracious, and almost like parents--making sure we got in to town ok and helping to unload our car. It was a nice introduction to Austin, and we will recommend their flat to visiting friends and family/"
68130,1706125,2012-07-14,1233019,Veronica,"Absolutely incredible space.  Was everything I needed during my 2 night stay!  Welcoming and accommodating hosts, gave me helpful tips on the easiest ways to find my way around Austin and the room and neighborhood themselves were absolutely idyllic.  Would definitely recommend this flat and will stay again next time I'm in town! "
68130,1735682,2012-07-17,264626,Ece,"Great place. Went to Austin to take care of some business. And this is the perfect spot to use as your base station in Austin. Drew and his wife were awesome hosts. Very central area. Quiet street with lots of parking. The apartment was well appointed and super clean. Every little detail has been addressed. Comfortable bed, clean sheets and towels. Would definitely stay here again. "
68130,1782194,2012-07-23,2911179,Tom,"This was our first experience with airbnb, and Drew was a wonderful host--very attentive but not at all intrusive. The location is wonderful and apartment was perfect for a weekend getaway to Austin. We hope to be back. "
68130,1852103,2012-07-31,2878148,Jane,"I booked this flat for my parents when they came to visit Austin. They were very comfortable and found the space to be clean and well equipped for their short stay. They enjoyed walking to the juice bar only a few blocks away for breakfast in the mornings, and thought the neighborhood overall was cute and interesting. Thank you!"
68130,1880008,2012-08-03,3078813,Michelle,"This booking was my very first airbnb experience!!! Like the reviewer below, I too reserved this space for my parents. Drew (the owner) was *extremely* responsive throughout the entire process, which made me feel really confident about booking the studio. 

Upon check-in, my mom and I found the place to be spotless & smelling heavenly. Drew let us in on his wife's secret: mint oil mixed with water in a spray bottle -- genius! We found the studio to be exactly as the photos portray it: airy, roomy, & modern, yet cozy. Drew was very friendly and approachable & showed us how to use Netflix and Pandora for the television, which were both much appreciated features of this accommodation. He also was generous with my parents on their check-out day, offering them some extra time, unprompted, which they definitely needed.

I'm a resident of this neighborhood, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that this area can't be beat! It's a truly friendly, walkable, authentic Austin neighborhood that is within minutes of all the must-do sites. Now that I know about this little gem, I'm certain that I'll be booking it for future family stays :)"
68130,2038641,2012-08-20,1739639,Guillaume,   Great studio. Nice host. Good location.
68130,2143287,2012-08-30,998606,Kim,"Really loved Drew's place- so clean, comfy, close to everything and SAFE!!
Every interaction with Drew was clear, each detail was exact, everything was exactly as promised.  He knows Austin and was helpful for anything my sister and I needed.  He knows I will be back again and again.  Look forward to having a great place when visiting our daughter.  Thank you Drew for making our stay wonderful!"
68130,2196703,2012-09-04,3251514,Caleb,"Our stay at Drew's place was incredible. The room was just as nice as the pictures looked. The kitchen area had all the essentials, and everything was very clean. 

The location is also fantastic. We were just a short drive from all the restaurants downtown, but there were also plenty of great places to visit in Hyde Park. This place had the best of both worlds, it had all the quiet of being outside of downtown while keeping it accessible.

We'd recommend Drew's place to anyone. If we make it back down to Austin we'll definitely be staying there."
68130,2276309,2012-09-14,39126,Clive,"Drew was an exceptional host. The flat is exactly as pictured, comfortable, and clean. I would definitely recommend staying here when visiting Austin. "
68130,2338453,2012-09-18,3359720,Roman,"This was pretty much as advertised, which is a good thing. The hosts (Drew and Simone) are great - very thoughtful and accommodating. We like the location of this place. It's peaceful and quiet, and it's very easy to get to any Austin destination. We'll stay here again without a doubt."
68130,2397059,2012-09-24,3484804,Katie,"Great host and a super convenient location in Austin! The flat is lovely: clean, spacious, and well tended to.

Drew is an awesome host. He's efficient, communicative, nice and made my first Airbnb experience a great one.

I would definitely request to stay here again on a return trip to Austin! Thanks, Drew!"
68130,2441126,2012-09-28,481815,Kate,"Drew was a great host, and the suite was beautiful. Gave us great recommendations for restaurant (Vino Vino) and advice about Austin."
68130,2467159,2012-10-01,1913966,Marsha,"Super clean accomodations in a quiet neighborhood close to our son and his family made this a great place to stay on our first visit to Austin! With a late flight that meant arriving at midnight, Drew was there to greet us! He gave us helpful suggestions of things to do with our 20 month old granddaughter. Drew really is a Super Host - thanks Drew!"
68130,2558977,2012-10-09,3388357,Sarah,"We had a great experience with Drew and Simone during our stay in Austin - the apartment was great, just what we needed for our long weekend.  Drew was very responsive to questions prior to our arrival and overall a great host - we will definitely be back on our next trip!"
68130,2627524,2012-10-16,2440528,Kim,"My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful stay at Drew's flat in Hyde Park. The flat is super clean and comfortable. We made ourselves right at home and loved being able to walk to restaurants (Hyde Park Grill, Julio's, Asti and Quack Bakery are the ones we hit in just two days) and the greatest convenience store on the planet (Hyde Park Grocery at the corner of Duval and 45th) ~ pure awesomeness! We were in town for the ACL Music Festival, and it was so convenient to walk a few blocks to the bus stop and then take the bus straight downtown to the shuttle. We parked our car at Drew's and didn't use it again until we left. I have to say that we'll never stay in a hotel in Austin again. We'll head straight to Drew's flat instead."
68130,2679041,2012-10-22,3222580,Julie,Overall great experience.
68130,2719272,2012-10-25,1862623,Kortni,"Drew and Simone were great hosts and their Hyde Park Bungalow was absolutely fabulous - and just what I needed!  The apt was easy to find, the hosts were easy to communicate with,  and everything was very clean.  I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my friends and family coming to Austin. "
68130,2806826,2012-11-05,643032,Sara And Cliff,"This was a beautiful spacious studio in lovely, convenient neighborhood, with great hosts who were warm, welcoming and most helpful."
68130,2861890,2012-11-12,3508327,Linda & Martin,"This was only our second Airbnb experience and we were so thrilled that we had picked this place after getting settled in. Both Simone and Drew were really warm and welcoming hosts, and gave us suggestions for things to do in and around the Austin area. The flat was clean, and very well equipped in both the kitchen and bathroom area. It was comfortably furnished and a perfect resting place after a busy day sightseeing. We also really appreciated its location, being within easy walking distance of lots of cool eateries like Mother's Cafe and Garden which will appeal to vegetarian guests. We enjoyed strolling around the neighborhood and felt totally safe, even late at night. By car, you are a short hop to downtown and the airport. We would highly recommend Hyde Park flat for a lovely stay in Austin!"
68130,2926172,2012-11-20,1696553,Jp,"Super convenient location, very comfortable and well appointed apartment. We loved the decorative too although that is more subjective. The hosts (Drew, Simone and Noah) were incredibly helpful, attentive and generally awesome.  We highly recommend this flat!"
68130,2977571,2012-11-27,3237503,Candyce,"A very convenient (email hidden)ar coffee shops, a bakery, drug store, etc.  the accomodations were roomy, clean and very well thought out.  The hosts were extremely helpful."
68130,3068839,2012-12-11,3451395,Jan,"Fantastic experience.  This cute apartment was so very clean and homey. Plenty of space and everything I could ever need was right there. And if it wasn't, I'm sure that Drew would provide. I really liked this neighborhood and again, the hosts were perfect. Just what you would want being away from home. So helpful and sweet, it felt like I was visiting old friends. I will definitely stay here again. I hope to very soon!!!!"
68130,3154644,2012-12-25,990685,Elizabeth,Great location. Very cute place. Friendly and helpful hosts. We would definitely stay here again! Highly recommended. 
68130,3294728,2013-01-06,1378675,Allan & Cindy,"Very well furnished place. If you are tall - like over 6 ft., then the bathroom/shower might be too small for your taste. But worked out great for us. Nice private carriage house. "
68130,3518699,2013-02-11,4855559,Veronica,"This Hyde Park Flat was perfect! Super clean and well located, Drew's carriage house made our Austin visit that much more enjoyable. If you're part of the Car2Go program, there was always one near by. Vintage shops, coffee houses, and breakfast tacos were right around the corner. We will definitely repeat this accommodation!"
68130,3610118,2013-02-26,2984509,Doug,"This was our first time visiting Austin so we thought it called for doing something a little more...authentic to the spirit of the city and chose Drew's place over a hotel. He and his wife are terrific hosts and Drew is extremely thorough with his communications and follow-up. The place is comfortable and in a good location with great eateries that are open early for breakfast or late for dessert or drinks. The drive downtown was pretty easy. Drew even recommended a few places to go, one of which became the highlight of our trip (ask him about Ginny's!). We'd definitely stay here again!"
68130,3673056,2013-03-02,4090659,Diana,"Super Clean, fully stocked, comfortable, bright, and great location! On a quiet street, but in a truly central location.  Be sure to take Drew's advice and visit the nearby Hypde Park Market / Convenience store.  Worth seeing. Drew was accessible, easy-going and gave the best directions..follow them!"
68130,3685047,2013-03-04,4716182,Melissa,My sister and I LOVED staying in Drew's lovely garage apartment. So clean and pretty and bamboo floors are really nice for those with allergies. Drew was super helpful and knowledgeable. We were close to everything and loved the neighborhood. Looking forward to going to Austin later this year and will definitely book this again!
68130,3778899,2013-03-14,3654174,Burke,"Lovely flat in a safe location, immaculately clean and lovely hosts - this was my first time using AirBnB and it was a seamless experience. The room, bed, bathroom, kitchen and all the appliances were spotless and everything worked. The hosts even thought through all the little details to make this a great place to stay in central Austin. "
68130,3817791,2013-03-18,501527,Nichol,"Perfect place for our sxsw trip! I loved the neighborhood info (with Pro- Tips!) that was waiting for us upon our arrival. Cute, super clean apartment, awesome neighborhood, excellent hosts. So happy we picked this place! Would definitely stay there again!!"
68130,3939349,2013-03-29,5072806,Mark,"Drew's place was great for our stay in Austin.  It was clean, quiet and had everything we needed.  We rented a car, so getting around was no problem.  Street parking was always available."
68130,4181450,2013-04-16,4254997,Tanya,"This place is in a great neighborhood and is very clean and new. I loved my time here. Drew is out of this world responsive and friendly and provided a ton of great resources without any prompting!

My flight was cancelled and he was completely flexible pushing my stay back one night which helped tremendously.

I would recommend this cute studio to anyone. It's very charming."
68130,4267165,2013-04-23,5150536,Maren,"Jason and I had such a great time here!  They had everything we needed!  They very kindly leave a hair dryer and flat iron in the bathroom so no need to bring yours!  Wish I knew ahead of time, I would've had more room in my suitcase!  ;)  Location was great for walking to the juice bar, dinner or the corner market to grab some beer from the craziest selection I've ever seen!  Beautiful neighborhood, would definitely go back. :)"
68130,4308019,2013-04-26,6049338,Nikki," Absolutely perfect!  So comfortable we hated to leave.  Everything we needed was provided.  Drew was a very warm and accommodating host.. Great location and a charming neighborhood, clean and comfortable.  We are seniors though and it did occur to me that the flight of stairs might be a problem for anyone with mobility issues.

68130,4338196,2013-04-29,3504225,Jillian,"My husband and I had a perfect stay in this Hyde Park Flat!  Drew was very welcoming and easy going.  Very clean and tidy, with well equipped kitchen and bathroom.  Bed and pillows were comfy.  Safe and beautiful neighborhood with lots of people out and about working on their yards, riding bikes and walking their dogs.  We'd definitely stay here again!
Thanks again Drew!"
68130,4596725,2013-05-14,3004260,Sean,"The place was great! Drew and family were awesome!

We had a great time visiting Austin for the first time. The room was as described on airbnb. A very quiet space to rest well. We only used the space to sleep and shower, essentially, since we wanted to experience Austin as much as possible. 

Drew welcomed us with a wealth of information regarding Austin. There was a welcome sheet with links, along with many recommendations straight from Drew. Since this was our first time in Austin, this was invaluable. We are so happy we chose airbnb and to stay with Drew and his family! 

We plan to be back and would have no hesitations to stay with them again. Thanks so much!!"
68130,4834529,2013-05-28,3839972,Joanie,"My boyfriend and I came for a Memorial Day weekend getaway and we are so happy we chose this place for our stay in Austin, TX. Drew was such a wonderful host!! The place had everything we could have possibly asked for and the location was perfect, very centrally located. It was clean, well-kept, had almost every travel necessity, and was in a safe neighborhood. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back here for another stay in Austin, TX. 

If you're looking for a weekend getaway for two people with a great host, housing, and location, this place is it! Thank you, Drew!"
68130,4903699,2013-06-01,5898142,DeAnn,"The Hyde Park Flat/Bamboo Floors was a great place to stay.  It was clean, pleasantly cool on very hot days, and had everything we could possible need available to us.  Arriving and leaving were simple, location wonderful.  Certainly on our list to stay again.  Thanks."
68130,4965785,2013-06-04,102760,Javier,"A beautiful apartment, very comfortable with everything you would need for your stay. A lovely neighborhood, with easy access to downtown. The hosts are very welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend the apartment to anyone visiting Austin. A fantastic experience."
68130,5086280,2013-06-11,2251759,Kaycie,Drew was a very friendly host. The place was clean and convenient to all our needs while in Austin. We love the Hyde Park neighborhood. He even let us store our bikes in his garage. 
68130,5213507,2013-06-18,5286164,Anna,"We had a great stay in Austin! The flat was very comfortable and clean – a great place with a wonderful ambience in a lovely neighborhood and with awesome hosts! Thank you very much, Drew and family!
"
68130,5485233,2013-07-02,5397344,Carolyn,"Clean, quiet, and convenient. A perfect Austin local! Awesome pillows. A great place to unwind."
68130,5550631,2013-07-05,7153171,Linda,"Drew was the perfect host.  I arrived a bit early and without transportation, so Drew offered to come fetch me at a local restaurant after he was finished getting the apartment ready for me.  The place was spotless, bright, and sunny, exactly like the photos.  He also had the bathroom and kitchen stocked with environmentally-friendly products, which I loved to see too.  The neighborhood is quiet - I was there for three nights and slept really well; and it's within walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and a grocery store.  I would highly recommend staying here if you're ever in Austin!"
68130,5623213,2013-07-08,7181898,Federico,"The apartment is great: it's incredibly clean, and is fully equipped.  Drew was a great host, gave us advice and direction on what to do when we where in Austin, and was always available if we had questions. Highly recommended!"
68130,5809882,2013-07-17,63563,Kitty,"So why go back to somewhere you have stayed before? Generally, I like new experiences, however Drew is so easy to work with, the place is pitch perfect, and the location cannot be beat, that this is my second stay at his place. Drew's communication is impeccable, he makes you feel so comfortable, and even in the heat this apartment stays cool. Bonus--the doves in Hyde Park provide the best soundtrack, and the city pool up the street is free. All in all, the perfect airbnb experience. Thanks again Drew!"
68130,5878672,2013-07-20,6398141,Vania,"We really enjoyed our time at Drew's. He was a great host and very easy to work with. The place was just like the photos, very clean, quiet and comfortable. everything you need at the right location! "
68130,6301887,2013-08-07,6608954,Karen,"The place was comfortable, airy, and entirely true to the pictures. Drew was a very nice, accommodating host who offered great suggestions of things to check out in Austin. The Hyde Park neighborhood was great: quiet and residential yet sprinkled with ""Austin Weird"", and with a public pool and nice cafes and restaurants in walking distance. Easy access to the highway for checking out the rest of the city and nearby nature. Only one regret: I was looking forward to meeting the chickens pictured in the AirBnb profile, but it seems they no longer live at the Hyde Park Flat ;-)"
68130,6477096,2013-08-13,7447243,William,The place was GREAT! Drew and Simone are wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure to get to know their family. Brigada!!
68130,6524990,2013-08-15,812348,Becky,"We had a wonderful, relaxing stay in the garage apartment. The space was clean and neat, with everything that we needed. The fan and AC kept the room cool, the bed and futon were very comfortable, and the shower was super. The wifi worked perfectly and the Netflix on the TV was nice. The only issue was that the door was accidentally locked when we got there, so we had to wait a bit for Drew's son to come and open it, but he was quick and then politely showed us around. The apartment was easily childproofed for our toddler -- not too much clutter, and enough space for him to run in circles. We loved the location (Hyde Park is awesome!) and the feeling of being in the neighborhood, which was very quiet. Loved it and hope to go back!"
68130,7015715,2013-09-03,7706917,Saryne,"We had a fabulous stay in Austin! This mini apartment is about a 10 minute drive from downtown. It is quiet and on a really cute street. Drew met and greeted us and gave us tips for restaurants, he was really nice. They place was super clean and more space than we needed. I would absolutely stay here again. If you're there: try Taco Deli down the street, Gordoughs donuts, see the bats at night, Barton Springs and kayak on Lady Bird Lake. "
68130,7355150,2013-09-16,8740751,Jeff,"Drew was a fantastic host -- very friendly and welcoming.  He knows Austin well and had lots of recommendations for restaurants and attractions.  In fact, I used to live in Austin (in Drew's neighborhood) and learned about a couple new places including a nearby convenience store that stocks every beer distributed in TX (you'd never know from the outside).  The apartment is in fantastic shape (true to the pics) and is very private.  If you're sensitive to noise, the air conditioner can be a little bothersome.  It faded away into white noise for me but one person in my group had trouble sleeping.  Otherwise, I highly recommend this place!"
68130,7767312,2013-10-02,2608469,Nate,Great spot to stay in Austin!  Drew is an awesome host and the flat is located in a pleasant neighborhood with lots of trees and birds while still being close to major routes downtown.  Flat is nice and spacious and comfortably furnished.  We had a great time here.
68130,8252467,2013-10-22,8394699,Martin,"A very nice flat - convenient, private and fully equipped - and excellent hosts"
68130,8586410,2013-11-06,7291370,Jeanne,"I was in Austin to visit my son who is a grad student at UT.  This location was just ideal-- I love to walk, and it's an easy and pretty 1.5 miles to campus.  You can also walk to restaurants, parks, food stores, and even to two great resale shops.  I didn't take the bus, but for a buck you can get downtown quickly and easily.  There is a full route map and schedule in the apartment.

The apartment itself is quiet, comfortable, roomy and spotless.  I'm trying to think of a single thing that would make it better -- but I can't!  (Okay, maybe not good for a person with limited mobility -- there are stairs. )   
"
68130,8718147,2013-11-13,1191880,Diana,"Drew definitely is a Superhost! I asked him if the apartment had a guidebook a few days before my arrival, and he ordered one for us to use. Check-in was easy. Even though we arrived later than our original plan, Drew was very warm, friendly and enthusiastic. Without us asking, he gave us a tour of the apartment and his recommendations in the city since we've never been to Austin before. We loved Ginny's chicken sh!t bingo that he recommended, as well as his tip for saving us 2-hours of waiting at Franklin's! True to the photos, the apartment was clean (smelled very minty), with Dr. Bronner castile soap in the shower for your use. He provided us with a space heater which was useful since we were there during the cold spell. They no longer have chickens though so we didn't get any fresh eggs, but there were plenty of good food options in Austin. We liked that Drew gave us our privacy and texted us to check-in on how our stay was going (even giving us driving tips for avoiding traffic). Our three-day stay was too short, and I regret not having time to check out the Yelp link that he made on the surrounding Hyde Park area - we finally drove up Duval on our way to the airport and saw all the spots we could've walked to from the apartment!"
68130,8801048,2013-11-18,9861458,Dana,"My boyfriend and I were arriving into Austin very late on a Friday night (4;30 a.m.).  Drew had the apartment ready for us - lights on, perfect temperature, keys in place, etc.

I was there to photograph Formula 1 auto racing on assignment.  As I headed out Saturday, I chatted with Drew.  When he learned where I was going, he loaned me his ear muffs for the track - something I had not come prepared with.  These were a life saver.  Thanks Drew.

The apartment was larger than anticipated, very private/separate, and very clean, , lots of towels/linens, no issues with parking.  There was plenty of hot water, good water pressure, and the bed was comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from.  If you wanted to cook something, the kitchen seemed suitable for those needs too (we didn't cook, just made coffee).

I would definitely stay here again."
68130,8911041,2013-11-25,1635838,Dorothy,"My daughter and I had a great 2 night stay at Drew and Simone's flat in Austin. It had everything we needed.  The flat was clean and very nicely decorated, and the bed was very comfortable. Our trip to Austin coincided with a freak cold spell, and Drew was nice enough to put the heating on before we arrived, so it was nice and cozy warm when we walked in, to the tune of classical music!  Thanks for that Drew!  I recommended Drew and Simone's flat to anyone wanting to get a taste of the ""real Austin"" in the Hyde Park area.  The location was great for us, near the UT campus, but far enough away to be in a family neighborhood."
68130,8961914,2013-11-28,9988068,Diane,"The apartment was cute & cozy. The place was neat as a pin & warm as the weather had turned quite cold for Austin but the heat was on. The apartment was well stocked with towels & some essentials but be sure to bring everything you need as far as toiletries & any coffee. The lighting is a bit low, not enough mirrors to see yourself if you want to put on makeup. The shower was new & plenty of hot water. The hostess, Simone, was totally warm & welcoming. Very private & very quiet so you can sleep well although the bed is a bit hard. Overall, it was much nicer than a hotel & the neighborhood is really cool especially if you like to walk around."
68130,9050391,2013-12-03,5814571,Matthew,"We had a great stay at this spot -- the room over the garage is large, clean, well-equipped, and private. The apartment is in a quiet neighborhood where you can walk or jog safely, and is close to several bus stops that will take you south thru the UTexas campus to downtown Austin in a short while.  Drew and Simone were great hosts, who gave us privacy but were pleasant and ready with Austin information when we asked for it. We will certainly consider this place again for future visits to our daughter, and recommend it highly to anyone willing to get away from the urban downtown hotel experience."
68130,9255023,2013-12-16,10418142,Liz,"This was our first official stay at a property listed on AirBnB. We stayed here since the flat was located within a mile from the friends we were visiting in Austin. It is also about a mile from the Hyde Park restaurants/coffee shops/bakery, which made it easy to run out and get something to eat/drink. We were very pleased with our stay. We felt that the flat was comfortable and inviting. It had all the basic necessities and Drew made the check in/check out process hassle-free. It was unusually cold in Austin the weekend that we were there, so Drew provided a heater that made the place warm and cozy. We would consider staying here again. "
68130,9330004,2013-12-22,3963103,Kyra,Great location.  Nice and very comfortable place.  A great starting place for our Austin adventures - only drawback was the early wake up call (automatic garage door under the room).  Overall a good experience.
68130,9377426,2013-12-24,10701183,Zachary,"My wife and I had a very nice stay in Austin, and Drew's place contributed to the experience.  He is a thoughtful host, and his clean, cute, and stylish apartment is everything he promised; further, it lived up to the many other positive reviews on this site.  We would definitely return."
68130,9487864,2013-12-31,2265902,Tomas,Drew was very accommodating to our changing holiday travel schedule. The place was as good as advertised and was in an excellent location in town to welcome my partner to Austin for the first time.  I would highly recommend Drew and his space for folks new to the city but also looking to return to Austin in a while.   
68130,9803587,2014-01-11,2512762,Sara,"Our host Drew was extremely friendly and helpful.  The space was perfect, spacious and clean.  I would definitely stay there again."

68130,9940853,2014-01-20,11213184,Mike,We stayed in Austin for a few days while job hunting there. We wanted to stay in a residential neighborhood to get a bit of a feel for things. Drew and Simone's place definitely delivered! It was even more beautiful than the photos. Drew was very responsive to questions we had both before and during our stay. I'd highly recommend their flat to anyone.
68130,9993991,2014-01-24,1540681,Lori,"We absolutely LOVED Drew's place!  It was comfortable, cozy, clean and if there was a washer/dryer I wouldn't have left.

Drew is very hospitable and wasn't even mad at us when we had to call him at 5am since we forgot our key.  We had to make a late night run to the ER, our daughter ended up with an ear infection.  We were inside the majority of our stay due to her being sick.  I told my boyfriend that I was very thankful it was so comfortable, it felt like home.

68130,11531072,2014-04-07,11245292,Lindsy,"Such a great experience! The apartment is in a cute, quiet neighborhood with plenty of restaurants and cafés near by. Drew was super friendly and warm. The apartment smelled fantastic and was perfectly clean. I slept the best I have in years. We definitely would stay here again. "
68130,13059876,2014-05-19,2400237,Jeffrey,Great neighborhood and perfect when a family member came to town and wanted to stay near us in Hyde Park. Cute and clean. 
68130,15433263,2014-07-08,17314206,Eduardo,"Drew was very friendly and a great host... the apartment was super comfortable and very clean on a great location just north of downtown and The University of Texas campus. Lots of trees in the neighborhood, restaurants and coffee shops all around. I will definitely be looking to stay here on my next trip to Austin and highly recommend Drew's apartment to anyone looking for a very affordable getaway in a great neighborhood in amazing and friendly Austin, Texas. Thanks Drew!!"
68130,15734219,2014-07-14,1182232,Jonathan,Drew is the perfect host and Austin is very lucky to have him as an advocate for a beautiful and fun city. I would gladly use his space again if I am ever in the area!
68130,21064607,2014-10-10,22175641,Emilee,"Drew and his wife were amazing hosts! My boyfriend and I were moving across country with all of our stuff packed in our car. Drew was so accommodating and let us park in his driveway instead of on the street. We stayed 3 nights and the place was adorable and very clean, exactly like the pictures show. On our last night we were a little ignorant and didn't pull our car into the driveway. Drew texted us that night asking if we wanted to but unfortunately we didn't see his text. The next morning someone had cut the rooftop carrier off the car and throw all of our stuff into the street. Drew was great and called us as soon as he saw and even picked up all of our things and brought them onto his porch! Really went above and beyond. "
68130,21675687,2014-10-21,2292105,Leslie,"Drew was quick to respond, patient with my numerous questions as I prepared for an out of town teaching guest to arrive, and was beautifully accommodating in terms of me getting in there just prior to guest arrival and later to take out the supplies the guest didn't use...

He was friendly, cheerful and easy to like!

The space was sweet and refreshing - light, colorful, well set up up for visitor needs..."
68130,22468735,2014-11-07,17867287,Denise,"My stay at the Hyde Park Flat was conviently located and quiet. It was easy for me to get to my business without much hassle with traffic. I also found several great restaurants and an ice cream shop that provided Vegan options that were all very close. Everything you need is in the small garage apartment. Even though the oweners live in the house in front of the detached garage, your privacy is respected. I met the couple and chatted briefly, they are friendly and seem easy going. My stay went smooth and met my needs."
68130,22576691,2014-11-10,17787447,Maria,"Awsome stay. Drew was super friendly, accommodating, and gave great travel advice for Austin. We would stay there again for sure! Place was clean, updated, and had all the amenities we needed. Very happy with this trip. "
68130,23121262,2014-11-23,7008481,Brian,"The apartment was great and Drew was awesome. We had lots of our plans and people to see already, but drew still provided us with good local insights and stuff to do.

 Great local neighborhood and not too far from downtown. Highly recommended place to stay. 

Take his word for the awesome convenient store close by, craft beer lovers won't be disappointed."
68130,23434107,2014-12-01,9116788,Wendy,"The Hyde park flat was great, looked
Just like the photos.  Drew was an especially
Accommodating host, easily reached by
Email or phone.

We highly recommend the rental,
The location is in a lovely, quiet
Residential area near a coffee shop,
And other stores."
68130,23704473,2014-12-08,23077863,Trichina,"My experience with Drew was great. He was very inviting,  welcoming, and gave my boyfriend and I great ideas on local restaurants and tourist sites. The space was exactly as advertised. I would definitely stay there again."
68130,23925994,2014-12-14,994812,Dena,"Staying at Drew's place was great.  Everything was as advertised.  The apartment is very spacious and clean, and Drew and his family were a delight to talk to and were very helpful.  Hyde Park is a really neat neighborhood with several restaurants, a juice bar, and some coffee shops within walking distance.  I would stay at Drew's place again and highly recommend it."
68130,24527764,2014-12-30,22684163,Maeve,Drew was very friendly and inviting. The apartment had everything that I needed and I instantly felt at home. A great experience for a first timer to Airbnb. 
68130,25099382,2015-01-06,4692568,Sarah,"Drew and Simone's home is well-located in Austin, tucked back into a lovely safe neighborhood. The property itself was super clean and well-equipped for guests. The bed was very comfortable and the tv had access to Netflix and such which was great for our downtime. The only issue is that if you are temperature sensitive there is no central a/c but we were fine with the provided floor heater! Drew was very friendly and welcoming, and we thank him for hosting us. "
68130,25308627,2015-01-12,17197475,Sarah,"Drew was great. He thought of everything for our stay and made himself available if we needed anything else. They've been doing the airbnb for awhile, and it shows! They've got it down to an art. The room was awesome too. The bed was super comfortable. There was everything you'd need during a stay. The neighborhood was quiet, easy to park in, and in a great location."
68130,25514692,2015-01-18,3384952,Barbie,"My daughter and I stayed at Drew's and it was wonderful.  The neighborhood is adorable and we felt completely safe and cozy!  We were there to check out areas of Austin, and Hyde Park is a favorite!  I highly recommend walking to Biscuits and Groovy for breakfast--it's only 1/2 mile away, and a lovely stroll through the neighborhood.  Also, Asti has amazing pizza!  It's an easy drive to other parts of Austin from Drew's, which was great.  We'd certainly stay here again!"
68130,25799948,2015-01-26,5519251,Stephanie,"What a splendid stay! Clean, comfortable, and located in a nice neighborhood. Drew was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!"

68130,26138858,2015-02-04,8307354,Andre,"This is a great gem in the Hyde Park area of Austin!  Easy access to cafes and restaurants, in a super cozy setting.  Drew was incredibly hospitable, even allowed us to check in early as we were traveling. Overall, great experience.  Thank you."
68130,26232820,2015-02-07,2991385,Kevin,"Great space! Just like the pictures. Although I didn't see Drew until I was leaving at the end of my trip, he was very responsive. The space is great. Roomy, private, and quite comfortable. Also, the sink has an attached Brita filter which is a HUGE plus in my book!

I'm definitely staying here again!"
68130,26366214,2015-02-10,5621304,Kevin,"Drew and family's flat was incredible. The unit above the seperated garage behind the house had a private entrance and was easy to get in and out of without bothering anyone. The bed was very comfy and the whole place had great lighting and a cool breeze on a warm day that just hit the spot. The bathroom was clean and well equipped and the location was quite central.

Thanks for the great stay Drew!"
68130,26589548,2015-02-16,19145349,Susan,"Everything we needed was there, both inside the apartment and within walking distance. The space was clean, comfortable, and private. We'll be back."
68130,26941887,2015-02-22,12224958,Tim,"This apt was a great fit for our brief visit. The space is open, airy  and very comfortable.  Drew was very personable as well as prompt  and clear in all lead-in communications.
Hype Park neighborhood remains charming, walkable and retains an Austin-feel from a time when Austin was a lot smaller. Within easy walking distance of  Qyack's, Julio's, Mother's & HP Bar &Grill  - all long-standing and loved Austin food establishments. We'd certainly stay there again. Wish in hindsight that we'd booked for longer. "
68130,27770475,2015-03-11,27619803,Angie,"I loved this above garage studio! Drew was very welcoming and showed us how to use everything. I only saw him once, but he was easily reachable when needed. The studio was great. Location was great, and neighborhood was safe. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to others!"
68130,27844445,2015-03-13,17421113,Doris,"From the moment I made my reservation Drew was an attentive host. When my flight unexpectedly arrived 30 minutes early and new errands popped up, he was very accommodating and let me drop off my things hours before normal check-in. The apartment was charming and a welcome oasis during my visit to Austin. Hyde Park is a great neighborhood to stay in, especially if you don't have a car. There were many bus routes within a short walking distance, as well as yummy eateries. I felt perfectly safe walking by myself at night and in the early morning, before sunrise since there are many people jogging and walking their dogs. "
68130,28296176,2015-03-22,4652600,Joao,Drew and Simone were fantastic hosts! The flat was perfect and had everything you need for a great stay in Austin.  I'll surely look for it the next time I'm in town.
68130,28566190,2015-03-26,19286926,Maggie,The flat was fantastic - perfect for a couple looking to stay in a quiet neighborhood. Everything was clean and functioned well. Drew was easy to access by phone/text. We had a wonderful stay!
68130,28934549,2015-04-01,339791,Thomas,"We had a great time at Drew's flat and would definitely stay there again, if we go to Austin. It has a basic kitchen, but as long as you don't plan to cook an elaborate dinner it's just fine. The wifi connection  can get a bit slow a times, I guess due to a lot of traffic in the neighborhood. The location is very convenient to explore the lovely city. 
  "
68130,29078325,2015-04-03,88096,Aaron,Drew was an excellent host and the room was clean and well prepared.  The location is fantastic - quiet and cozy and near coffee and food.  Would stay again!
68130,29171453,2015-04-05,10674900,Samson,"Drew and his family were amazing host, they provided with information we need to navigate around Austin. More importantly is the private room in the back it was clean with plenty of space. I would  definitely come back to this place if I'm ever in Austin.  "
68130,30231072,2015-04-19,852,Michael,"Drew was very informative about the neighborhood and how to get around town. The apartment was exactly as described, and a great fit for what we wanted. The neighborhood is great, very easy to get to UT and city center."
68130,30779136,2015-04-27,3143100,Logan,"Fantastic, well-appointed flat in a delightful, quiet neighborhood.  Drew and his wife are incredibly welcoming and touched base several times to ensure our stay was going well.

The proximity to downtown Austin is near perfect (15 minute drive to most points downtown) and there are a number of nice places for coffee, drinks and food around the immediate neighborhood.

I highly recommend this flat and certainly will be seeking it out again when re-visiting the Austin area."
68130,30984246,2015-04-30,24082463,Steve (& Jo),"The Hyde Park Flat was the perfect size for the two of us, and it had everything we needed for our four day stay in Austin.  Drew greeted us  when we arrived, and made sure we knew he would be available if we needed him.  The Hyde Park neighborhood north of UT campus was convenient for what we wanted to see/do in Austin.  Several good restaurants within walking distance; groceries and gas available nearby too."
68130,31310062,2015-05-04,11297153,Sam,Drew and his family were great hosts. The room is exactly as advertised.  Drew and his family were great hosts. The room is exactly as advertised.   My 11-year-old son and I Stayed for a long weekend and  the room was perfect. The location made it easy for us to get anywhere we wanted to go in Austin and we really enjoy the hyde Park neighborhood.   We will definitely look forward to staying there again.  
68130,31939653,2015-05-12,14758497,Dori,"Drew was a great host.  He welcomed us and made sure we knew how to find the flat.  The flat was exactly as described and we were very happy there for four nights.  Drew was very accommodating.  He let our guest lock up a bike in his garage, solving a logistics problem.

The bed was very comfortable for two people and the shower and everything else worked as it should. 

I would definitely stay at Drew and Simone's Hyde Park Flat again and I highly recommend it.

"
68130,33609744,2015-05-30,27665279,Amanda,"Drew's flat was absolutely perfect. Drew was incredibly attentive and helpful. Staying there was truly a pleasure, I would most certainly stay there again the next time I'm in Austin!"
68130,34530333,2015-06-09,11522427,Judith,"I was welcomed and shown to my room. Drew carried my bags up to a warm and lovely space.
Very comfortable and very clean!"
68130,36323016,2015-06-27,5080499,Kendra,Drew's house was in a great location with lots of nice places to eat nearby. Was a very pleasant stay!
68130,37324751,2015-07-06,33694758,Spencer,"Drew's place is absolutely fantastic. My girlfriend and I spent the weekend in Austin to relax and get away, and this area was perfect for that. The apartment is in a wonderful neighborhood in Austin. Very quiet yet close to where ever you would want to go in the city. The apartment itself is very cozy, and had everything we needed for the weekend. 

Drew was also beyond helpful. He was out of town when I arrived. I had an issue come up as I got into town, and he solved it for me while being in *another country*. This was our first Airbnb experience, but if all hosts can be at least half as helpful as Drew, I have a feeling we're going to do this a lot. "
68130,38628950,2015-07-17,6660811,Brad,"It was a beautiful, airy and spacious apartment, in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Austin.  Drew and Simone were very gracious hosts.  I'll  be back in Austin regularly and their's is the first place I'll look at to stay.

My plans changed several times and the communication with Drew was frictionless.  He had every right to be exasperated by calendar, flight and computer glitches, but exhibited Austin Coolth.

 Oh--and they have a lovely Goldendoodle!"
68130,39078262,2015-07-20,4982539,Natalya & Daniel,"Everything at the Hyde Park apartment was clean and perfectly coordinated for our arrival! Drew was very helpful and made sure to check in to see if we had everything we needed. Quiet but convenient neighborhood, it was a great home base for our quick visit to Austin. And a plus -- the convenience store nearby is THE BEST we've ever been to, aisles and aisles of Texas beer, so make sure to stop by if you stay here!"
68130,40744757,2015-08-02,25919504,John,"Drew was a fine communicator, very kind and and welcoming.  Space was clean and comfortable.  A/C worked well, if a little noisy.  The neighborhood is fabulous."
68130,42165111,2015-08-11,1721459,Nasri,"Our visit to Austin was nice. 
 "
68130,42998707,2015-08-16,14238865,Phil,"Had a great stay at Drew's place. He was very welcoming, was very responsive and had our place prepared with all the details of a pro Airbnb host. Thoroughly enjoyed."
68130,43772429,2015-08-22,6991985,Tessa,Drew and Simone were such good hosts that we have already returned!  The apartment is clean and bright and well appointed.  I will leave a full review after our next stay.
68130,45571440,2015-09-04,6991985,Tessa,"Our second trip in Drew and Simone's apartment was great.  The apartment was clean and exactly as described.  We were given some great tips about local places to eat and drink but mostly just left to ourselves to enjoy Austin.  

The apartment is in walking distance from some lovely restaurants and  bars and we generally had a great time."
68130,45930190,2015-09-07,7116758,Kayne,"I did not have the best experience in this rental, which is unfortunate because Drew was a great host and the rental itself is perfect in many ways. Unfortunately, the neighbor next door seems to be an enthusiastic smoker of meats. He had at least two smokers that I saw, and they were cooking throughout my visit. As a result, the entire back of Drew's property smelled like smoke, and due to the location of the air conditioner intake, the rental also filled with smoke. When I mentioned the smoke to Drew via text, I returned to find that unit smelled very strongly of peppermint oil, a smell that was also strong when I arrived. I assume Drew is using peppermint oil to deal with the problem.  

The smoke aside, this rental was great. It is in a very nice, quiet neighborhood that offered convenient access to downtown and the university area. The unit itself was clean, well decorated, and well supplied. Despite the heat of the summer, it did not get too hot. Though I would not stay here again, it would be and almost perfect rental on weekends when the neighbor is out of town."
68130,46872733,2015-09-14,22931878,Yoshua,"Had a great stay.  Great location, nice clean room.  Very affordable.  "
68130,47700460,2015-09-21,29168275,Monica,"Drew was very friendly when we arrived. The flat was just as described; very neat and clean. The location is perfect (close to downtown, but in a cute, quiet neighborhood), we will definitely stay again when we come back to Austin. We didn't see much of the hosts but they were easy to contact for accommodation and travel recommendations. 
I highly recommend staying here. "
68130,49591454,2015-10-05,35019972,David,"My girlfriend and I had a very pleasant time residing at Drew's for the weekend!

The place--located behind his house in a separate area above the garage--was quaint, private and well-stocked with everything you'd need to accommodate a short stay. 

The place includes a bathroom with section for shower, small fridge, kitchen table, four chairs, one bed with 2 nightstands, microwave, plates, silverware, glasses, a flat screen TV On wall mount equipped with Netflix, Roku Pandora and more.

I could go on and on, but it has essentially everything you could think to need as concisely and simply laid out as possible.

Additionally, everything was neat, clean, and  easy to access. 

Although we didn't need much help, Drew was very open to assist with anything and a generous source of information about the local scene, traffic tips, etc.

I'd very highly recommend staying at Drew's. Not only was he a great host with a very nice place, but the area is very nice, quiet and safe.

I look forward to future Austin trips! 

"
68130,49988636,2015-10-08,764671,Reuben,"Drew is an excellent communicator and has perfected the host routine. The above-garage apartment is clean and lovely and well appointed. Plenty of space for 2 people, very comfortable bed. The neighborhood is peaceful and residential but very central and great. I was very pleased overall. "
68130,50276368,2015-10-11,38435551,Sara,"Drew's place was exactly as described: clean, comfortable, inviting. Drew was also super friendly and there if we needed him. The apartment was in a nice neighborhood, not too far from downtown. I highly recommend staying at his place! "
68130,50617477,2015-10-13,6397764,Stephanie,"We had a great experience the moment we walked in the door. Drew turned on the AC before we arrived AND jazz music from the pandora station on the tv. His Hyde Park flat is clean and comfy. We enjoyed walking to several neighborhood eateries (Hyde park bar and grill, Julio's) and checking out the nearby vintage record store, Breakaway Records. We also spent an evening at Vino Vino before walking through the balmy night back to the flat. Overall, it was a nice experience. "
68130,51279000,2015-10-19,11943539,Eric,"We had a great time at the Hyde Park Flat! The room was amazing, Drew was helpful, and the neighborhood was beautiful! "
68130,51688365,2015-10-24,30183440,John,"Great accomodation, perfect location walkable to UT and downtown. Very spacious with good variety of appliances and great TV setup."
778502,11022784,2014-03-17,12038632,Chelsea,"Justin was great! Very accommodating and laid back. His house is in a safe, down home area that's really close to downtown, so it worked out perfect for my band!"
778502,12620388,2014-05-06,12199202,Merida,Justin was a fantastic host! He really helped the band out with their show at Austin Psych Fest. They loved the house and had a great time. They want me to pass on their thanks and that they felt really looked after. Thank you!
778502,13642977,2014-06-01,14693714,Emma,"Justin was very accommodating, super friendly and welcoming considering our last minute booking of his cute East side home. The house was comfortable and clean, and he was nice enough to put some chips and salsa and coffee out for us -- real Texas hospitality. Would definitely come back and stay again! "
778502,13936364,2014-06-08,5130136,Sierra,"Justin is quick to answer, thoughtful, and knowledgable about the area. My family and i were so thankful to have such a caring, friendly host!"
778502,20776030,2014-10-05,21425352,Gabriel,"Justin was an amazing host for me and my guests. After running off schedule for our intended time of arrival I notified Justin that we would be running late to check-in. He was very understanding and told us not to worry about it. He is a very laid back guy, and he made it clear from the start that if we needed anything, to not be afraid to contact him. 

Now on to the house that we stayed at. It was a nice little house that had anything you could possibly need for a weekend trip to Austin. My friends and I made the trip to Austin for ACL and found it very convenient at how close it was to the festival. It was also not too far from 6th street and all the neat stuff to do Downtown. "
778502,21222082,2014-10-13,8736210,Ivy,"Justin was a great host. He was very flexible on our check in and check out times. The house was clean and tidy and super close to downtown.  One thing to take note of is that one of the neighbors has a rooster that sings bright and early in the morning, but that is nothing that some ear plugs can't fix. Also the second room was different than the picture, and the couch was not leather. But overall the stay was very enjoyable! "
778502,24121482,2014-12-20,4974944,Sara,Justin is an awesome host! He was incredibly responsive and welcoming. He worked really hard to create a good experience for us. My main feedback is just that I felt like the pictures made the house look newer and cleaner than it actually felt. We still had a great experience and are grateful to Justin for his hospitality. 
778502,24321405,2014-12-26,8169145,Clay,Justin met us at the door and gave us a brief tour of the house. Our over-Christmas stay was pleasant and quiet. We especially enjoyed exploring Justin's eclectic vinyl collection - it had been years since we had laid a needle to a record and it was fun to do.
778502,30215509,2015-04-19,10545847,John,"Nice little home, perfect for our weekend adventure. Fun record collection and friendly welcoming dog committee in the neighborhood!!!"

778502,31139093,2015-05-02,27305391,Dani,"Justin was great! Every need we had a met, a great location for exploring Austin. For going out at night it was a cheap can ride to the bar areas. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to be in Austin. "

778502,33156549,2015-05-25,16421755,Agrim,"Justin was an excellent host. He was great with communication, very accommodating, and extremely flexible with both our check-in and check-out times. The house was clean and comfortable. We loved his music collection and the guitar and piano made the stay extra special. Thank you for a great stay, Justin!"

778502,50464783,2015-10-12,42402832,Tawni,Justin greeted us and gave us a quick tour of his place. Good place to stay while visiting for a few days. Neighborhood was close to all of the great Austin must see areas. 
778502,51181119,2015-10-18,14539024,Addison,"Justin's home was exactly what we needed for a weekend trip. Plenty of room for us and a huge backyard for our dog. The backyard is shared with his sister, who also has two very sweet dogs, and our dog loved playing with them! The location is pretty close to highways and other necessities. Everything was great! Thanks Justin!"
5279461,26576144,2015-02-15,27602309,Kari,"Chrysta and friends are a great group to stay with. She was so helpful with anything I may have needed. I ended up going out with her and her roommates, and I had an amazing time. I would recommend staying with them to anyone. "
5279461,28082174,2015-03-17,4618173,Barbara,Chrysta and her flatmates were very welcoming. The house is very big and comfortable. Houdini is the cuttest dog in Austin ;D
5279461,28257801,2015-03-21,27444541,Sheena,"Our stay here was a very pleasant one. Oli was so nice and informative about Austin, TX. He seemed to really care about the quality of our stay and was extremely helpful in more ways than one. Ryan who's room we stayed in was also very friendly. Since we stayed here during a very busy music festival, SXSW, we expected to have to pay a lot of money everywhere we went. Which we did, so it was a nice surprise to see that our hosts were not charging an arm and a leg for our stay with them. They were actually very generous and understanding people. We would all highly recommend staying here if you ever visit Austin."
5279461,36062285,2015-06-24,36009315,India,"Chrysta is very welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable about Austin. The house was a bit messy, but she mentioned that some housemates had just moved out and that the rest would follow soon. It's obviously an old house, but for the price it's worth it."
5279461,38750196,2015-07-18,6538376,Aj,"Chrysta and her housemates were terrific to stay with. Really great people, fun and very hospitable. Recommend anyone who's looking to meeting some great people and seeing a bit of Austin as a local!"
5279461,49814033,2015-10-06,43863597,Nidhi,Chrysta and her roommates were very welcoming to us! They got great personalities and were accommodating. The neighborhood is an artsy little place with good local spots to eat. Definitely recommend.

1728927,18916490,2014-09-02,20070883,Chrissy,"Martha was a great host! She was extremely responsive when we had a question or needed her help with anything. She also made sure that we had everything we needed for the weekend. In terms of the actual place, it's really cute! Martha has Bluetooth speakers if you're into music which was something we really liked. Overall, it was an awesome experience and I would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking to stay in East Austin - very close to downtown if that's where you're trying to explore, but this area of town has some cool spots in it that are worth checking out too. "
1728927,24783314,2015-01-02,4886578,Irene,"Martha was very welcoming. She was incredibly communicative and was thoughtful throughout the whole time. The space felt clean and homie and it was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Both rooms felt wonderful and the beds were comfortable. It was a very cold weekend (uncommon in Austin) so we felt like we needed a bit more heat, but Martha had ideas as to how to stay warmer during our stay. Thank you Martha."
1728927,27576417,2015-03-08,4120523,Romain,"Martha is an amazing person. she is nit just hosting you for the sake of it, she really cares about your well being, and your happiness. I can't count how many times she cooked for me of gave me awesome recommendations in Austin. If you wanna have a good experience in ATX, you gotta meet Martha! Looking forward to my next stay with her
"
1728927,28060963,2015-03-16,29241055,Paul,"Martha and her house were great. The house was in great shape, and walking distance to 6th street bars. Martha was an enthusiastic and helpful hostess, providing plenty of recommendations and taking a genuine interest in how we enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend Martha and her house to anyone looking for a nice place close to the action but on a quiet street in Austin."
1728927,43395498,2015-08-19,7318556,Kirk,"Martha Elena is a wonderful hostess and the listing is as described; the  house is modest, but cozy and very well situated:  plenty of interesting restaurants and stores nearby, coffee shop at the end of the street, large grocery store a mile away.  I stayed a month with my wife and two kids and had a wonderful time visiting sights in Austin, taking long walks around Town Lake and swimming at the nearby community center.  We are a laid-back family and like feeling part of the neighborhood:  this house was perfect for our needs."
1728927,51368549,2015-10-19,5216565,Mandy,"Great space, everything we needed.  Really enjoyed hanging out on the back patio.  Martha was very helpful and quick to respond.  $10 über ride downtown.  Easy peasy"
2114443,10118162,2014-02-01,8214486,Ellen,"This lovely home was perfect for my visit to Austin.  It is central to everything, right off Lamar, but in a quiet cul-de-sac that was so tranquil.  The house is great, comfortable and  charming  Everything worked..  The kitchen is modern, well supplied and very easy to cook in. The best feature is a fabulous and large screened porch in the backyard.  Although my month long stay was a bit too early to see the garden in bloom, there were hints of wonderful things to come.  Michelle and Ashley were great, helpful, easy to deal with and very accommodating.  I would, and will, stay in this wonderful house the next time I visit Austin."
2114443,10350214,2014-02-15,1871323,Lola,"We had a great experience at Michelle's house. The place is awesome, you will find everything you need and has a beautiful decoration. Great location, you can walk to the main interesting places and is also a super quiet place to stay. Since we are vegan they sent us really good recommendations and we're always available for our requests. This IS the place to stay if you are visiting Austin! Thanks Michelle and Ashley!

We would also like to send our sincerest thanks our hosts, Michelle, Ashley, and Dave, who were quick to answer any questions we had about the rental and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and happy during our stay.
We couldn't have been happier during our stay and we HIGHLY recommend this rental to anyone looking to visit Austin. Thank you!"

2114443,10846187,2014-03-10,1424179,Emre Berge,"A true quality host! The apartment was even better then the pictures here at AirBnb, no surprises. We were met with a tasty welcome snack package and a great list of restaurant to visit during our stay in Austin."
2114443,10983592,2014-03-16,12160478,Kristen,"Michelle was a 5-star host... She went the extra mile to ensure that our stay was amazing!  The house was incredibly charming, clean, comfortable, and inviting.  She was easy to communicate with, and answered every question I had.  I look forward to renting from her again in the future.

The house is situated in a wonderful, quaint neighbor which was wonderful to explore and close to many of the attractions that bring people to Austin - Zilker's Park, the Greenbelt, downtown, and South Congress Ave. Her friend, David, who helps manage the property, was equally as wonderful. Providing us with amazing restaurant suggestions and city recommendations that dramatically enhanced our stay. Thanks!"

2114443,12206638,2014-04-26,1255986,Joshua,The house is in a great location. Very we'll supplied and a comfortable feeling. One of the better places we have stayed at using airbnb.

2114443,12784031,2014-05-11,4538257,Simon,"If you're visiting Austin this is the perfect place to stay. We'll be back for sure!

The enquiry and booking process were handled quickly and efficiently, and the house itself was spotless.  You'll find it in a charming neighbourhood, well placed to explore the city but very calm.  The photos represent it well, but actually don't put across quite how lovely a place it is to be.  We ended up hanging out in this house more than we might on other holidays.  And that's because it is a joy to stay in - sympathetically restored, well equipped, and full of nice design touches.  We particularly loved the kitchen and outdoor porch.  I took every opportunity I could to sit out there. Overall we found it hard to leave!"
2114443,12930259,2014-05-14,14701761,Caleb,"Great home, great hosts. More than I expected. Highly recommended. "

2114443,13961332,2014-06-09,14476518,Ashley,"My husband and I rented the house along with my sister and her boyfriend. We all came in to austin from different locations so we wanted a place to be together and hang out. This house was absolutely fabulous.  It exceeded all of our expectations.  There were so many small touches that made us feel right at home.  The beds were incredibly comfortable.  We loved the included porch with the large table.  It was perfect for a family dinner.  
Thank you for a wonderful place to stay. We all can't wait to come back.  "

Great and friendly neighborhood, and much to explore and enjoy and consume within walking distance.  Helpful information provided by house manager Dave (and quick and totally satisfying responses when we had questions).

Especially enjoyed the screened-in porch.  A major feature!

"
2114443,16507006,2014-07-28,18145049,Carli,We had a fantastic stay! The house was clean and just as beautiful as advertised.  David was very helpful and accommodating to our requests.  The neighborhood was fantastic and the location was even better!  We will definitely stay again!

2114443,17188354,2014-08-08,18747181,Mandeep,"Everything was as per listed. Can't beat the the neighborhood (Barton Springs) which is close to Zilker Park, downtown and SoCo."
2114443,17353652,2014-08-11,5993484,Rimma,"We had a very good experience at Michelle's place. The house was immaculately clean and the location was great-- a nice combination of the convenience of central Austin but the peace and quiet of a residential street. The back deck was great, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was nicely equipped. David, who was our contact for the property was quick to respond to text messages, but was otherwise pretty hands-off, which was also nice.  Would totally stay here again! "
2114443,17856743,2014-08-18,8912956,Nicholas,"My friends and I stayed over for a weekend getaway at Michelle's place. The neighborhood was quiet and well located, Zilker Park being a stone's throw away. Everything was mostly as expected and the checkin process was super  easy. We ran into an issue with the back door lock and Michelle responded promptly and we resolved the issue. Would stay again, thanks."
2114443,18137569,2014-08-22,8169145,Clay,We were in Austin on business and the house was great and in a great location. We were comfortable and rested each day. We would return whenever we're in Austin.

I would recommend anyone to your home that was looking for a place in Austin.  It was so convenient to everything that Austin has to offer.  Thank you opening up your home.  
2114443,18836802,2014-09-01,4323918,Yh,"Good location , 5min to Zilker park close to the river .  good house has a bohemian /modern style. Kitchen has everything you need . "

He also recommended some great restaurants in the neighborhood. The street was very quiet & easy access to wherever we wanted to go in Austin. The house was great- very trendy & inviting. We stayed with our 13-month old daughter & found it to be the perfect space. We had everything we needed & check-in/check-out couldn't have been simpler.  The kitchen was fully stocked so we were able to easily cook for our daughter.  Thanks for making our visit to Austin a great one!  "
2114443,19744133,2014-09-17,17235449,Christablik,"The house was incredible! So clean and great location. Michelle has decorated the house really nicely and leaves it looking beautiful. The kitchen was spotless and there was lots of books and dvds. It would be a really good place to entertain friends (amazing dining rooms)
 Great wifi and comfortable beds. Probably best to have a car if you are staying here but not essential. "
2114443,20493191,2014-09-30,4346375,Katie,"LOVED this place. We honestly cannot recommend staying in Michelle's lovely home enough. The pictures make the house look pretty rad, but really, it's even better in person. The hosts were thoughtful and communicative and we had a really terrific experience. We had a rough time leaving our temporary home because it was so great. Plus! They had a little list of fun things to do and places to eat which we put to good use. Also, the beds were insanely comfortable and the house was spotless but full of character. Again, can't recommend this rental enough!"
2114443,20818146,2014-10-06,13541438,Sheridan,"This house is so perfect to really experience Austin. Very close to the city in a picture perfect neighbourhood, the house has everything to offer: from comfortable beds to a well-equipped kitchen and an awesome outdoor area. We stayed over the ACL weekend and the house could not have have been more perfect. Thanks for being a great host Michelle. "
2114443,21047404,2014-10-10,7126018,Josh,"Michelle's place is awesome. It's in a great location in the heart of Zilker Park (near the intersection of Lamar and Barton Springs Road). The house was very clean and nice and cool when we arrived. The decor in the house is really cool and the house has a very ""Austiny"" feel to it. My girlfriend and I loved it. The immediate neighborhood is also nice and quiet. The kitchen and living room are both very spacious. Both bedrooms are also very spacious and have queen size beds. The back porch of the house is a very cool/nice area to hang out. The house is equipped with wifi with a high speed connection (I was able to use my chromecast on the TV and stream shows without any issues). The laundry machine is another nice bonus. 

Dave, Michelle's friend, was also very helpful! He was very communicative and provided us with some great recommendations of places to eat and things to do in the neighborhood. 

This will be the first place I will look to book every time I come back to Austin. Thanks Michelle!"
2114443,21508340,2014-10-19,2408570,Becka,"Our stay at Michelle's gorgeous home was absolutely flawless. We loved the Zilker park location: it was such a lovely quiet neighborhood to retreat to at the end of the day, but so close to nearby parks, breweries, restaurants, food trucks, and plenty close to downtown via public transportation or biking. Not to mention the house itself, which is spacious and equipped with everything you could need during your stay, and decorated in a way that inspired a ton of envy in me, my Mom, and my sister. The decor is really unique and we joked that we could have just moved in permanently right then and there. We also loved the screened in back porch with the hammock and spent lots of early morning and happy hour time out there.

David, Michelle's property manager, was also incredibly helpful and responsive to any and all questions, and generally pleasant to interact with.

We'd definitely come back!"
2114443,21787903,2014-10-24,12105611,Anuschka,"Wij voelden ons meteen thuis! Het huis is gezellig, maar vooral ook heel mooi ingericht. De buurt is super. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar ; - ). Een heel klein dingetje: voor lange mensen is de douche wel wat lastig."
2114443,21940169,2014-10-27,5406679,Sara,"FABULOUS!!!! Michelle's house could not be more perfect!  The location is incredible! As a former resident of Austin, the ""04"" or Zilker/South Congress, Lamar, 1st area is the BEST!  Great restaurants, great walks, great accessibility- It just cannot be beat!  And the house- it was totally my vibe.  We spend hours hanging on the screened in porch!  My mom might have enjoyed her stay more that my boyfriend and I.  She is looking forward to many more stays at Michelle's house while visiting her other daughter and niece.  She seriously could not stop telling anyone who would listen about the house! Thank you Michelle!!!"
2114443,22077267,2014-10-29,21393596,Jd,"Michelle's house was fantastic. It's in an amazing area of Austin and is itself, a delightful space. We really admired the large living and sleeping rooms. The original bath is well maintained and the kitchen is spacious and completely redone. We had a great time with our two young girls and our dog. One of our favorite spots was the back porch - wish we could clone it for our house back home. 

Everything was thoughtfully prepared for us and we had a great few days in Austin. 
"
2114443,22226940,2014-11-02,3673204,David,"House was in a good central location within easy travel to many of the restaurants and amenities that Austin has to offer. It was clean, well appointed and comfortable. Michelle was very accommodating and instructions were very clear. Would definitely come back again."
2114443,22405440,2014-11-05,5291996,Adrienne,Was contacted by host and felt welcome by information packet listing everything we could need and more. Great house in cute neighborhood. Kitchen had anything you could need for cooking but the location was also convenient for exploring the area restaurants.
2114443,23363103,2014-11-30,21499475,Theresa,"I stayed in this great house for 2 weeks. The location is wonderful as it was close to my daughter, the park, good restaurants and just about anywhere we needed to go. The house is well appointed and we loved having Thanksgiving dinner on the screened patio. 

Dave, the host in Austin, was very attentive to any of my needs (there were very few as the home comes so complete) and even brought over cooking appliances from his kitchen for us to use for our Thanksgiving dinner.  I could not have asked for a better host.

When I return for an extended stay in Austin, I hope to be able to again stay at Michelle's home. Thanks for everything."
2114443,24216094,2014-12-22,21068489,Rachel,"Our family stayed only two short nights here, but truly wish we had more time. The house was beautifully decorated and had a great vibe. Very comfortable and immaculate, small details considered.  It's also close to many great restaurants,shops, and Zilker (?) park.  A quiet street among other charming homes.  We loved  it here.  "
2114443,24470647,2014-12-29,3271969,Jolyn,"The house was an amazing find for our family to stay in over the Christmas holiday. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, even bringing extra supplies over for us when I mentioned we'd be cooking a lot. 

"
2114443,24718099,2015-01-02,19673519,Laura,The house was lovely and really well located. The kitchen is fantastic and everything is as-advertised.
2114443,25000159,2015-01-04,24748686,Andrew,"They were very accommodating. We had our original spot cancel on us and Michelle and Dave put us up last minute and made sure the place was clean with 3 hours notice. The place itself is a beautiful home, in a hip area that is close to downtown, south congress, and the trailer parks.
I would recommend this for couples and groups of friends looking for a central spot in Austin that is in a quiet neighborhood with a great location.  Great hosts. "
2114443,25198040,2015-01-09,20910361,Anthony,"The host made us feel incredibly welcome, he gave us a quick run through of the house and how to use everything. The neighborhood was extremely pleasant everything was a short distance away and the surrounding houses are beautiful.
"
2114443,25539008,2015-01-19,21559643,Amy,"This house was perfect! It was bright and roomy with a big, well-appointed kitchen. Although it was too chilly for us to make much use of the huge screened-in porch and back yard it was beautiful to look at. The neighborhood is quiet and quaint, great for morning walks. You'd never know you were so close to Lamar and Barton Springs Rds and the heart of Austin activity. David, the property manager was a pleasure to work with; easy to reach, welcoming and helpful. The bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable, the bathroom was spacious. The pictures capture the feel of the house very well. From the road it looks rather humble but once inside it opens up and wows you!"
2114443,25668411,2015-01-22,2348528,Lucila,"Michelle was incredible...upon confirming our reservation she emailed a very complete description of the home, location, and her information encouraging us to contact her with any needs.

To collect the key is convenient. Once inside the kitchen we found two printed documents: one detailing the nuances of the house, the other suggesting restaurants, sights, and bars. 

The home is impeccable, beautifully appointed, in a fabulous location. We all fell in love with the tasteful and stylish decor....and took lots of notes on how to replicate the classy yet casual feel at our own home!

The kitchen was complete for creative cooking offering a wide array of cookbooks, utensils, serve ware, and cookware. The attached back-porch is incredible for dinner parties or for quiet coffee in the mornings. The beds are comfortable and cozy. There is ample storage for unloading your luggage and feeling at home. The street is quiet. A fine selection of CDs, books, and DVDs allow for relaxing at this retreat.

Perfect!

Thank you Michelle!"
2114443,25755194,2015-01-25,19299974,Erika,"Wow! Thank you for a wonderful place to stay in Austin!  Your home was very welcoming, spacious, and well stocked. What a great location, close to South Congress and lots of great restaurants. The new patio is great and a wonderful spot to hang outside. Great neighborhood, quiet, and a peaceful getaway spot. Thanks!"
2114443,25844055,2015-01-27,4264130,Lori,Absolutely Beautiful Home! We enjoyed staying here! The kitchen is well equipped and the enclosed porch is a wonderfully romantic space for a meal. It was very useful that the bedrooms have a desk each. I had a last minute meeting come up that I needed to phone into on the day of our departure. Dave gave me a call the night before to confirm that there was no one checking in the next day; so I could take my time checking out. This gave me more ease and serenity around my day and my meeting.  Thank you! I also appreciated the advice Dave provided advice on Austin and the surrounding restaurants. Hope to stay again!
2114443,25947652,2015-01-30,44042,Antony,"Michelle's place was excellent, on of the best places I've stayed on airbnb. It was quiet and comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The covered patio out the back was lovely and perfect to get an afternoon of work done sitting in the Austin sun. The host was also very responsive and helpful to all our questions. I would love to stay there again!"
2114443,26179363,2015-02-06,3341372,Elizabeth,The house is gorgeous!  Very cozy with a well supplied kitchen.  Felt like home.  The back porch was what sold us on the rental and it didn't disappoint (unfortunately we weren't able to use it as much as we'd hoped due to cold weather).  Great neighborhood close to everything.  Check in and out was super easy without any hassle.  Overall this was an amazing rental and we are so pleased with our experience.  Thanks Michelle (and David).  
2114443,26313759,2015-02-09,12023410,Sasha,"Michelle's home was the perfect place for our girl's weekend. The house itself is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. Her kitchen provided all the tools we needed to dine in and the house is within walking distance to a number of great restaurants to dine out as well. We very much enjoyed making use of her gorgeous, screened in, back patio for morning coffee. The location was close to Zilker Park, hiking trails, bicycle rental shops and kayak rentals.  Another plus was the Peter Pan mini golf course where we killed some time before our flight departed at the end of our trip. Dave, her property manager, was very responsive and easy to communicate with. He gave us some great recommendations for things of interest in the area. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone considering a visit to Austin, TX."
2114443,26400309,2015-02-11,4083508,Lydia,We loved staying here! So warm and welcoming and a fantastic location close to everything. The caretaker reached out to us before we got there to make sure we knew he was available if anything was needed. Everything was just perfect. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch in the back. What a lovely space!
2114443,26492654,2015-02-14,9838047,Charlie,"The most charming 2bedroom house in the most central location.  Great kitchen, space, space and more space/ the lot is huge and screened dinning area could be an ideal live in 24/7 space.  Can't wait to rent here again!"
2114443,26819202,2015-02-20,1919062,Alex,"Michelle's house is spacious and comfortable with attractive furnishings, posters and a great selection of books. The neighborhood is pleasant and convenient to Zilker Park and even has a new Alamo Drafthouse in walking distance. Great screened patio and yard. Michelle was quick with responses to any questions and checking in to the house (even after a late night flight) was simple.

Small aspects that could be improved--both bedrooms are large and attractive but the master bed mattress and frame was pretty creaky so my wife and I switched to the other bedroom for better sleep after the first night. The one shower/tub oddly has a built in storage cabinet above it; I'm average height but only had about 3 inches clearance over my head and had to bend to get under the shower head. Someone 6""2 or taller wouldn't be able to stand up fully in there."
2114443,27282964,2015-03-01,3065493,Mohammed,"The house is exactly like in pics. Lovely and comfortable. Great neighborhood, close to some great restaurants and a cheap uber ride to downtown. Wished we could enjoy Ilker park but was way too cold to do outdoorsy things when we were which was really sad given the options. 

Only caveat is for light sleepers. The train goes by and woke me up a few times in the middle of the night as did the birds. In the early morning. Wear ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Otherwise a wonderful stay!"
2114443,27474682,2015-03-05,24372283,Noah,Everything worked out great! The house was exactly as described (more spacious if anything) and had really nice touches like the mason jar drinking glasses and the vintage toaster. The enclosed deck with the hanging chair was a super nice touch as well. 
2114443,27848544,2015-03-13,12005854,Josh,This house was absolutely perfect and great for my stay in Austin on business. It is in a quiet neighborhood with wonderful amenities. Truly felt like a home. 
2114443,28151481,2015-03-18,670785,Patrick,"Michelle's Home is simply beautiful!  Reminded me of a Dwell's Magazine cover. Spacious & super-comfortable!   Located in a prime area and walking distance to town. I would most certainly recommend this place to business travelers or a family assisting any of the many tourist options Austin has to offer. 

Dave & Michelle. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
2114443,28602001,2015-03-27,26822564,Brooke,"This was our third time staying in Austin and this has by far been our favorite house to stay in. The large screened in porch sold us. The house is roomy and we really enjoyed our stay. Whenever we had a question or concern, our host was quick to repaint. There are a ton of restaurants and stores close to the house. Overall, great experience!"
2114443,28780422,2015-03-30,15930407,Zach,Great home with absolutely perfect location to downtown. Beatific screen deck and back yard was awesome for hanging out. I would absolutely stay here again.
2114443,29267622,2015-04-06,26925302,Stephanie,"This was a very stylish and comfortable home in a great part of town. The home was clean, spacious and charming, and had everything you would need. Water pressure and hot water were great too!"

2114443,30668014,2015-04-26,1711365,Gary,"The house was comfortable and clean.  It looks exactly as pictured. The kitchen was very user-friendly with lots of counter space and amenities.
The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and close to a lot of great restaurants.  Michelle was very responsive in regard to my questions.  She got back to me very quickly every time I contacted her, and she encouraged me to contact her any time if I had any other questions.  
"
5534367,27985869,2015-03-15,29310512,Jason,"Ashley did a great job in making us feel comfortable.  Aside from the home, she was 50% of the puzzle to make our stay more enjoyable.   Very responsive.  Beautiful home.   Great location.   Great outdoor decks to relax, have a glass of wine, or do yoga.   "
5534367,28239838,2015-03-20,28867410,Daniel,Beautiful house with everything you need and nothing you don't need. It was just right!
5534367,28356236,2015-03-22,16997461,Jamar,Ashley & Casa Roja was awesome. The home & location was great. I look forward to returning to Austin for SXSW and using airbnb and maybe the red house again.
5534367,29217513,2015-04-05,687308,Emily,"I stayed at this house for a bachelorette party and everyone agreed it was perfect! Plenty of seating on the patio/decks and living areas. The host was great and very attentive. The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with linens, towels, glasses, etc. The house is close to fun local restaurants and bars. I definitely recommend this place for groups! "
5534367,29896961,2015-04-13,28993604,Eric,"Casa Rojo simply put was amazing.  Great place to hang out with good friends and just relax and take in the Austin scene.  Beds were comfortable, house was spacious, kitchen had everything we needed, but patios and open to the outside living room was the highlight.
At night the house is located in the heart of the Eastside up and coming area - We all were able to walk to a number of great Austin eclectic restaurants and bars within minutes.  The plan was to walk a few blocks over the the train to head to the downtown area but we never made it that far because of all the great options with live bands so close to Casa Rojo.
As a host - Ashley is amazing.  She made sure the house was stocked with all the comforts of home, checked in on us and was more than responsive and accommodating during the weeks leading up to our stay.   We all will definitely be staying at one of her places again!"
5534367,30213458,2015-04-19,29126308,Christophe,"Rent without hesitation!

We had an amazing stay at Ashley's Casa Roja home in Austin, I would highly recommend it!  7 friend's and I rented the house for my friend's bachelor party and we couldn't have been happier.  The house was exactly as listed - clean, spacious and comfortable .  It was a perfect place to entertain with a wide open living room/ kitchen/ deck layout.  Having the option of keeping the front door open from the deck to the kitchen was a huge perk for our sized group.  It slept all of us very comfortably, not just due to the amount of beds, but also because the beds themselves were comfortable as were the sheets and blankets (it may not be important to most but this is a key detail for me.  I've stayed at two other airbnb houses with uncomfortable beds and it kind of ruined those experiences, gladly that was not the case at Casa Roja).  

Ash's Casa Roja house stay was my third airbnb experience and by far my best yet.  Everything about the house seemed to be brand new and was completely immaculate.  The house was also equipped with all the modern amenities you could possibly want in a vacation rental - AppleTV, wireless internet, central air, beautiful bathrooms, a modern kitchen, washer/ dryer, dishwasher and brand new refrigerator.  It was an all around excellent place to stay.  All my friends applauded the find and no one was disappointed.   

In addition to all that, the front deck area was great for us all to hang out and chat, and although we didn't take full advantage of it, the upper level wrap around deck of the house was pretty amazing too. 

The East Austin area the house is located in was perfect for us to get around to everywhere we wanted to go.  Places like Rainey Street and many great restaurants and bars right in the area.  The neighbors were all friendly and we felt very comfortable as outsiders in the area. 

Ash also left us with some great suggestions of local places to go including restaurants and bars which wound up coming in handy when looking for options of things to do.  She was very attentive and responsive when we communicated and a great host in general.  A definite 5 stars for this experience!"
5534367,30684862,2015-04-26,4299256,Jason,"Beautifully designed home and was perfect for our group of 10, Ashley was every bit as gracious as a host, and answered all my questions leading up to and during our stay.  We also took advantage of the outdoor patio on the upper roof deck, which is great for lounging around.  Location is excellent, about 15 min from airport as 10 min from all the action!  We were able to accomplish everything we wanted including BBQ at La BBQ, swim at Barton springs pool, bike ride along lady bird lake and party along Rainey, dirty 6th and west 6th.  Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here and would be more than happy to recommend my friends and family to stay here, too"
5534367,31795437,2015-05-10,8832760,Eric,You can't go wrong with Casa Roja. I came here with 10 guys for a bachelor party and everyone loved it. The house has great spaces for everyone to hang out both inside and outside and the kitchen island is a perfect beer pong table. The wifi and apple TV were great. The 6th Street bars are only about a mile away - an uber XL is literally only $4. It's close enough to walk to a few restaurants and corner stores as well. Ash provided everything we needed and was even kind enough to help us figure out our plan for the weekend. I would stay here again and definitely recommend it to any large groups going to Austin.
5534367,32341461,2015-05-17,29924875,Mike,"Casa Rojo was the perfect choice for our bachelor party weekend in Austin. The house was bright, modern, clean and tastefully appointed. It was set up with many basics and more, including coffee, towels/linens, kitchen and laundry supplies and even a Bluetooth loudspeaker. Ashley was communicative and helpful throughout the booking process. She also had thoughtful recommendations for restaurants and bars in the neighborhood. My highest recommendation."
5534367,33085713,2015-05-25,21872901,Christine,"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Roja. The place was very clean and beautifully decorated.

5534367,34378946,2015-06-07,9969737,Ivan,This house is located in an ideal location on the east side of Austin. Walking distance from many popular eateries and popular nightlife. It's a beautiful modern well appointed house with fun innovative design features that you won't mine come back to after a day exploring this awesome town! Ashely was a great host and followed up to make sure that we were comfortable and happy. I would definitely stay here again. 
5534367,34944967,2015-06-14,23832429,Andrew,"Ashley and the Casa Roja were perfect for my group of 9! The house itself is very cool, highly functional and extremely clean. The location is perfect and walkable to downtown, although we chose to take ubers most the time because they were readily available in the area. The keyless entry on the house made coming and going very simple (Ashley just texted us the code the night before we arrive).

As a host, Ashley was spectacular. This was my first AirBNB and she made sure the process was flawless. She was easy to reach whenever we needed her, and provided great info on the local spots to eat and drink. She even stocked the fridge with some beers for when we arrived. The best part of working with Ashley is that she tries to make you feel at home. When I mentioned we may have a few extra guests, she purchased inflatable mattresses just to make sure we were comfortable (even though we didn't end up needing them in the end).

A+ job for Ashley and Casa Roja!"

Everything we could possibly need was available to us at that house. The house was in a perfect location,  no more than 5-10 minutes from anywhere we wanted to go in downtown Austin. The house itself slept all of us very comfortably. I would highly recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in Austin! "

We were there for a bachelor party. 8 guys comfortably fit in the house with plenty of space. Ashley was great about having clean linens, towels etc. The house was very clean and comfortable, A/C worked great. Lots of outdoor space with a bbq grill.

She left us a welcome package to get our party started and provided with a list of wonderful restaurants and bars for us to check out! Casa Roja is also conveniently located (either walking or driving) to various parts of Austin that you would want to visit and see. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend! "

Not really walking distance to main sites but Uber cars arrived quickly and the rides were very inexpensive and short. The house is exactly as it looks in the photos. We all had a great time there and would highly recommend this place! Ashley stayed in touch with me the week before arriving and gave me all the info we needed about the house and the area. She was a great host! If you are looking for a fun house to stay in Austin with a group look no further, Casa Roja is for you! "

Also, Ubers were very accessible, so it made getting to some further destinations very easy. We did experience some bad storms one morning during our stay and Ash made sure to check-in to see that everything with us and the house were okay.

My colleague said the following in an email to me:
The stay with Debbie was great! Thanks for the choice we became friends and she took me shopping picked me from the mall even though it was quite late, gave me cookies to go with on my journey back. It was very okay. I am yet to email her with the photos that I took with her.

4809376,35183424,2015-06-15,4795951,Shelby&Jimmy,"This was a very charming little house. We loved the private patio and the great location. Erica @ Turnkey was very helpful in booking our last minute reservation. We were emailed a code to enter the residence so there's no need to coordinate a meeting time which was nice. The layout of the house was interesting in general. The master bedroom had it's own toilet/sink, but connected to the full bath. So basically there are two toilets with just one door separating them, so not much privacy. It's very nice that there is a washer and dryer included. You have to go through the second bedroom to get to the laundry room, but it's still a great bonus. All in all its a great spot and I would definitely rent again! "

Helped us burn more calories before eating at Home Slice! Convenient location being only 1 mile from the heart of South Congress.  From the pictures you can't tell but the half bath is actually attached to the full bath. Only a small door separates the ""two"" bathrooms. Makes it a bit awkward it two people need to use the restroom at the same time. Also- there are TWO units attached to this home. I had no idea! Would have been nice to know in case we wanted friends to stay at the same place as us. "

Huge bathroom with name-brand complimentary toiletries (not your normal hotel shampoo). The view from the attached balcony is fantastic. The building in general is quite nice. The one problem I had was in booking and getting check-in instructions. I submitted my request 3 days straight, each time having it expire after 24 hours because of no response. I then submitted the request after waiting a few more days. This time it was accepted, but only for 2 of the 4 nights I needed. Seems someone booked the other 2 nights before I submitted the request again. Also, I didn't receive any check-in instructions until I contacted LeeAnn and asked for them the day prior. Even then, it took a while for them to get to me. Ultimately I received them the the morning of the day I was scheduled to check-in. It worked out in the end but had me worried for a minute. LeeAnn let me know that they were using a new check-in process and that the kinks weren't worked out yet, so you may have better luck. Overall, LeeAnn was easy to work with and responsive after getting past the early issues."
7292802,41880528,2015-08-09,30767646,John,"Katie and Bill were wonderful hosts!  Katie was out of town for the weekend, so Bill and Addison actually""hosted"" us. Before the booking, Katie texted to welcome us and inform us of her absence.  The house was incredibly clean.  We used two guestrooms and both were kept very well and had comfortable beds to sleep on. Bill was very welcoming and provided us with lots of coffee.

One of my favorite bits about this stay was that Bill provided us with lots of places to check out.  For the most part, we took all of Bill's recommendations on places to visit and dine.  All of them were excellent, and I know my group of guys was really thankful for info and ideas from someone who knew the city well.

We also weren't very far from the city at all.  We used UBER to get to the main dives, and split among three people, the rides were usually around 5 - 7 bucks a person.

Finally, Addison their dog was awesome and super sweet.  Definitely great if you're a dog person who has left your dog back home.

Fantastic, laid - back stay with an ""at home"" feeling and for an excellent price.  Would easily book again.  Thanks!!"
7292802,47553843,2015-09-20,6129127,Brent,Katie and Bill were excellent hosts. I needed a place to stay while putting on a conference in Austin and it worked out perfectly. I felt like I was staying at a private hotel or bed and breakfast. Great attention to detail and amenities. Highly recommend. 
7292802,49568081,2015-10-04,8093788,Maryam,"Beautiful house & beautiful couple!
We look forwards to staying there in the future.
It definitely one of the best places we have stayed on airbnb. Katie & Bill were very responsive and easy to communicate with - even though we arrived late on the night of our stay. "
7292802,52811989,2015-11-01,8093788,Maryam,GOOOD good! Will stay there again!

5594013,48526228,2015-09-27,11138516,Andrew,"We enjoyed our stay in this home. It was fully appointed with everythin you'd need for a short or long term stay - cutlery, dining ware, etc. The smart lock on the front door made it easier to check in, no keys to hand off. It took some getting used to, but was nice."
5594013,51893709,2015-10-25,24311005,Marcella,"Carly and Ryan's house is perfect for vacation. You can use it to just sleep and change clothes or literally not go outside until you check out. It has everything and is very homey. It is in a nice neighborhood and super accessible to the hot spots of town. 

Carly is very accessible and responds to texts and calls immediately. She even left a few letters with instructions for a few things in the house and a list of places to see. 

Highly recommend! Super attentive hosts!"

Their home is as advertised and quite a nice home to stay in. The perks such as wifi, in-room big screen TV and cable, upstairs Nest thermostat, and a terrific kitchen made for a really upscale stay.

Thanks for a great experience!"
6000723,34794749,2015-06-12,11423056,Alex,"Another great experience. Clean, comfortable, hospitable."

The new, modern additions to their home make this an extremely attractive Airbnb destination when in Austin.

Thank you again."

8538670,52099626,2015-10-26,8219731,Ryan,Bo was a great host! A few things came up during our stay and he really went above and beyond to ensure everything was addressed and taken care of immediately. 
2423840,20901913,2014-10-07,8898428,Tyler,"Jess and Jonathan provided a beautiful house for our group to stay in. They made us feel welcome from the get go to say the very least. The house has absolutely everything you need and is in a perfect location so that you can get anywhere very quickly. We were in town for ACL and could not ask for a better spot.

We were welcomed with a bottle of wine and hospitality that went through the roof. I can confidently say that I will for sure be back when I come to Austin again.

Thank you Jess and Jonathan for an unforgettable weekend!

Cheers!"
2423840,22365061,2014-11-04,10889616,Robert,Jess and Jon were very hospitable and quite easy to work with and the house is as advertised.  What doesn't come through in the listing is that the place is spotless and very comfortable.  We looked forward to coming back from COTA each day and recharging ourselves.  This will be our first choice for lodging when we return in future years.
2423840,23431826,2014-12-01,21847109,Alfonso,"Jess and Jonathan were phenomenal hosts- communicative, punctual, and gave us all the information, assistance and availability we needed to have an incredible Thanksgiving holiday for the whole family in Austin! A+ for the hosts!

The space was impecable- clean, creative, spacious and so homey. We felt immediately at home, and the trinkets, paintings and decorations around the house are beautiful and fascinating. They have put so much thought and creativity into every detail of their home, and it was such a pleasure to stay there. Beds were comfortable, showers and baths were perfect, with great water pressure, the kitchen was the ideal place to host our Thanksgiving dinner (large dining table and kitchen), and the living room was a great gathering space to play games and get together.  A+ on the space!

Location- you really cannot ask for a better location in Austin. As Austin residents, we know the city well, and their home is in walking distance to everything- town lake, whole foods, coffee shops, shopping, ACL's Moody Theater, you name it! That said, Clarksville (where the house is) is a lovely, quiet neighborhoood, so you get the best of both worlds- Austin city charm and neighborhood safety and quietness. 

All in all was a great and memorable experiene, and mae our Thanksgiving holiday that much better. Thanks Jess and Jonathan!"
2423840,28295903,2015-03-22,9914351,Aira,"We had an absolutely lovely time at Jess and Jonathan's house. The house fulfilled all our expectations. The back garden was super cute, and a lovely place to rest after a busy day.
Both bedrooms are spacious, and they put up a blow up bed in the office for the third person.
Big bathrooms, lovely kitchen, bikes available for us to use…. all in all a great stay. I warmly recommend anyone to stay here. 
"
2423840,49766640,2015-10-06,17853503,Mauricio,"We came to Austin for ACL and Jess' house was great and perfect for our needs.  The house is really nice, clean and spacious, way more than enough to accommodate the five of us.   The neighborhood is great as well, located near some of the bars/restaurants on west 6th street and a short walk to Zilker park, so getting to the concert was not an issue at all. Jess and her husband were amazing hosts, very responsive and always communicating with us.  They even left a nice bottle of wine for us to enjoy! I totally recommend their place and would love to stay here for future Austin trips. "
2423840,50625818,2015-10-13,21634311,Tara,We had a wonderful stay and Jess and Jonathan's house. It was in the perfect location tucked away behind 6th street. The house itself was large enough to accommodate 6 of us and very cozy. Jess was prompt with her responses and provided us with great recommendations for restaurants in the area. 
5499136,28275221,2015-03-21,2227914,Tom,Great dude. Great place. Great town. Great coffee. Lovely SXSW retreat. 
5499136,50379897,2015-10-11,42921500,Tristan,"the listing was very accurate and i felt welcome there. he left water for me and invited me to help myself in the kitchen. there were also directions to a nearby coffee shop within walking distance. 

i liked that it was near a couple bus stops which made it easy to get around town. there were also several good place to eat nearby. and the neighborhood was quiet as well. that made it a very convenient stay while in town for acl.

overall it was a nice stay and id do it again."
4293731,24433052,2014-12-28,7747284,Marcella,"Our family really enjoyed our stay at your home! It was exactly how you describe it and there were no surprises. Thank you for sharing your cozy, cute home with us! "
4293731,27877717,2015-03-14,117738,Danielle,"Brad and Anni were so communicative and friendly! They answered every question before we could even ask, and had a binder in the house with all information we could possibly need about the house and Austin.

The house was great- really spacious and lovely. Everything was very clearly marked. A few things to note- one of the bedrooms was an air mattress, not a regular bed. It was also clear from the smell that one or more dogs usually live in the house, which for me was not an issue but for someone with allergies could cause issues. With a bit of a ""deeper cleaning"" this would really be a perfect spot in East Austin!"
4293731,28298674,2015-03-22,1712320,Raxit,"I'd first like to start by thanking B&A for the use of their wonderful house. When we arrived the place was extremely tidy and beautifully clean. It has three bedrooms, two with full-size beds and one with a double sized air bed. However this shouldn't put anyone off; I slept in the air bed and it is extremely comfortable, it is raised off the floor like a normal bed and did not feel like the normal thin inflatables you can sometimes get. I particularly have to praise them for the facilities. The kitchen is fully-featured, with a dishwasher and full height fridge, and all the cupboards that guests are invited to use are clearly marked with tape saying ""feel free to eat any of the stuff in here"" and so on. In fact, these helpful messages were dotted all over, making it really easy to feel at home. The washer/driers also came in handy, and the guys left us their bikes too, in case we wanted to travel with a sightseeing thought in mind. We had such a good time, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to others. Great location and cheap cabs to town. Thanks again B&A, you made our holiday!"
4293731,49459477,2015-10-04,24449830,Nadeen,"My group of 6 had a fantastic time staying at Brad & Anni’s bungalow for our ACL weekend. Our hosts made were great to chat with and made us feel very comfortable. The house was in excellent condition when we arrived and Brad & Anni were able to answer to all of our needs. All of the beds were very comfortable. The air mattress was as good as a real bed and I had no problems sleeping there (I consider myself a light sleeper). The kitchen, living room, and bathrooms were spotless. We had no problems with the neighborhood and parking two cars on the street. Location was great. The beautiful artwork around the house was an added bonus. There was a notebook of instructions that answered any questions we had (e.g. how to use their projector & Roku). We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! "

768730,3737322,2013-03-10,4951755,Ethan,D'Ann was great.  She was super kind and helpful while I was out in Austin during SXSW.  I had a somewhat whirlwind schedule but she was more than accommodating and even helped me get a cab back to the airport (not the easiest during SXSW).  The house was also very nice and in a really great location east of downtown.
768730,3794571,2013-03-16,4196708,Markku,"Excellent choice for Sxsw.  Goog location, good house, good people, good everything.

Highly recommended.

Loistava paikka Sxsw:tä ajatellen. Hyvä sijainti, hyvä talo, mukava isäntäperhe. 

Suosittelen!"
768730,10901117,2014-03-12,1241850,Emily,"Beautiful room with amazing light, private porch, in a historic building on a delightful block filled with adorable places to eat and drink coffee. A 20 minute walk to the convention center -- which was the perfect amount of distance from the chaos of SXSW.  D'ann is lovely-- I recommend her and the place without reservation, and would absolutely stay there again next time I am in Austin. "
768730,11012906,2014-03-17,3603393,Grant,"I had my second lovely stay at D'Ann's house...it felt like coming home! It's a beautiful house with great big rooms in thee traditional style, a pleasant 20 minute walk from downtown. "

768730,21682702,2014-10-21,717560,Allison,"Our stay was great at the Inn at the Old School. D'Ann was really easy to communicate with, was very willing to accommodate our date change requests, and made the key hand-off a breeze. She went out of her way to make us feel at home, and gave us suggestions of things to do and see both in Austin, and then further on our road trip.

The room itself is nice- we stayed in ""Kate's Room"" and it had a private shower & bath. The bed was super comfy, and it had access to a large, sunny porch.

The location can't be beat if you want to stay in East Austin. It's just a few blocks off 6th (enough so that it's quiet!), and within walking distance of great bars and restaurants. You can even walk downtown or rent city bikes, which have stands close by.

We'd definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a great value and location! "
768730,22216979,2014-11-01,4185690,Hafriz,"D'Ann was a great host to me and my friend who was visiting! The location is great, not too far away from all the happenings in Austin, but far enough that you're not in the middle of all it. The house was charming, the rooms were large and the bed was comfy. D'Ann even helped us with getting to the airport. 5 star!"
768730,22347687,2014-11-03,23118091,Tori,The house and host was very welcoming. The location was perfect for walking access to many places in Austin. My roomate and I felt very safe and at home here. We would definetly stay here again if gotten the oppurtunity.

768730,26272554,2015-02-08,10512085,Andrew,D'Ann had a beautiful home in an old 19th Century schoolhouse. She was a great host who was very accommodating of our late arrival time. The room was clean and charming. D'Ann provided us with useful suggestions on sightseeing in Austin and even offered us the use of her kayaks. D'Ann was an immeasurable addition to our amazing vacation in Austin.
768730,28390803,2015-03-23,10151987,David,"This was a wonderful place to stay and D’Ann is a sweetheart. On the first day I checked in we had a glass of wine together in rocking chairs on the front porch and she gave me lots of recommendations for food and drink in the area (my personal favorites ended up being Vintage Heart Coffee, Hillside Farmacy and Quickie Pickie). I was visiting for SXSW and even with all of the excitement downtown I found it hard to leave the house because it is so homey and comfortable (example: a hammock on the second story porch!). It is in a quiet neighborhood but not too far of a walk from all the good stuff. I would definitely stay here again if I had the chance."
768730,33129107,2015-05-25,18564551,David,D'Ann was the best host ever.  She was very helpful and welcoming.  The historic Inn is in a lovely location that is central to everything.  The rooms were just as described on the listing.
768730,49801570,2015-10-06,6990190,Erika,"A big, beautiful and well-maintained home in a great location. It's down the street from the famous Franklin's BBQ! We had no problem getting downtown and loved our time in Austin. D'Ann was a friendly, responsive and accommodating host."

The house has amazing charm with incredible large ceilings. We spent time relaxing on the house's front balcony which had a relaxing hammock.  We were able to walk to east 6th street and downtown easily.  If your a big walker like us, you'll even be able to walk to south congress with ease!  (If not,  ubers around town were inexpensive) We would definitely stay again!"
768730,51515178,2015-10-20,1798178,Heather,"D'Ann was easy to communicate with and although our request was last minute, check in was not a problem to arrange. Well located on the East side, the home had good bones, a welcoming, if quirky, vibe, and functioned as a good starting point for exploring the neighborhood and farther afield. Our room was clean and nicely set up and the door opened right off of a beautiful, sunny front balcony perfect for morning stretching and yoga. The bed was comfortable and fluffy towels were abundant. Bottled water and chocolates by the bed were an unexpected treat. Wifi worked great. Parking was available and there is much to do within walking distance....check out White Horse Saloon for two stepping, great music, and fancy bourbon on tap. You are also just a few blocks from Quickie Pickie, Hillside Farmacy, and Blue Dahlia...and a manageable walk--or a very quick drive/uber--to downtown. D'Ann and her family were welcoming, kind, and eager to offer recommendations whenever our paths did cross. "

80494,1013486,2012-03-18,1451676,Jason,"Nice, clean, comfortable place to stay in Austin.  I work for an indie record label and we had a few of our artists stay here during SXSW.  It is a little ways away from downtown Austin, but we had our own transportation so it wasn't a problem.  It's a great place to stay during SXSW if you want a place that's away from the madness.  Thanks!"
80494,16665608,2014-07-31,16832946,Kris,"Greg was a great host, fast to respond to any questions, and even help us out of a jam when I locked the keys in the house on the very first night (not one of my finer moments).  He also has some great suggestions as to where to eat around the neighborhood. We stayed in his house for 1 month while we were between moves. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood, easy to find, and has everything you'll need for a comfortable stay.  I highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a nice private rental in S. Austin!"
80494,41738406,2015-08-09,13387983,New,"House was very clean and comfortable.  Greg was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The neighborhood was fairly quiet and was pretty much 15 to 25 minutes max from anything you could possibly want to do in austin. Nice private backyard,  well equipped kitchen  (a plus since I'm a chef ), bathrooms very clean. Felt right at home"
80494,49761413,2015-10-06,32696629,Aaron,"Our stay here was great. It was a little bit further away than I expected but after spending so much time of the day in the city it was nice to have an escape. The house itself was as described. Plenty of space for all of us who went. The decor was a bit of a trip but fit right into the ""Keep Austin Weird"" slogan. Having a washer and dryer on hand made things convenient as well. As for Greg himself, he was very friendly and prompt to respond to any questions we had. He did stop by a couple of times to pick up a few things he had forgotten but always asked and gave us a heads up before doing so. That was very much appreciated. Overall a great experience and would definitely book again."
8538834,50528420,2015-10-12,10701436,Mike,"The location of this home is only two blocks from bustling South Congress Ave. If this is your first time to Austin, SoCo is a fun neighborhood and cultural epicenter of the city -- South Congress Ave runs down the center. It's easy to get downtown and there are rental bikes available for cheap. The apartment is a one-bedroom in a historic house on a quiet block with lots of churches. WiFi is fast and shower is hot."
8538834,50999158,2015-10-16,46013120,Scott,"Although I didn't meet Troy, we did communicate before arriving and he set my mind at ease with my first AirBnB booking. The accommodation was clean and tidy and was very close to South Congress. If I return to Austin, I would have no hesitation and trying to make a booking with Troy again."
8538834,52242427,2015-10-27,45004583,Jani,"Troy made the experience very easy, good communication and the place was as described. "
8538834,52931546,2015-11-02,28585688,Gabriel,"Listing stated 'furnished with all of the amenities you need in Austin', that's a bit of a stretch. The apartment didn't have any kitchen ware (bowls, cups, silverware, etc). There was however no shortage of cleaning supplies in the kitchen. 

When we arrived the apartment had a strong odor in the air. The couch and one of the beds were wet with what appeared to be either rain or cat urine. Was disappointing considering the cleaning charge for the apartment is $40 a night...

Locking the front door was mission impossible. When you pull the door to close it from the outside it doesn't shut entirely.
It took two people to lock, one of us would have to push the door from the inside as hard as we could, and then another outside with the key could lock it. The person left inside would then have to exit through a side door in the kitchen. Which we could lock from the inside and close perfectly fine, but could not open because we had no key for it.

On the bright side the location is amazing. Less than a 5 minute walk to South Congress, where you can grab a bite to eat at Hopdoddy or Home Slice (two great restaurants in Austin). The neighborhood the apartment is located in is very nice. With modern and unique houses on every street. 

For no thrill travelers concerned with location and being near the main happenings in Austin this place is great. If you are looking for a posh apartment you are better off looking elsewhere.  "
957717,28131417,2015-03-18,27536340,William,I felt very welcome by the host. I had the opportunity to talk shop with Ben a bit. The dog warmed up to me and the cats were very curious. Enjoyed my stay.

2223634,14169111,2014-06-13,15077355,Angel,Great location just a few blocks from South Congress strip. Walking to dinner along with a few other groups from the neighborhood really made me feel like a local. The bedrooms are nice and comfy and the living space has everything you need with lots of music options. I come to Austin for work and will def stay here again. 
2223634,19553814,2014-09-14,1096532,Amara,"After 8 years living away from my hometown of Austin, The Red House was the perfect space and location to return to while working in Texas. Not only was the home a perfect home-away in the interior set-up and amenities, but close to some of the most delicious places to eat on South Congress. On top of that, the back yard space and evening neighborhood walks were so lovely - the stuff that Austin memories are made of, as a visitor or native. Dani was so easy to communicate with and made checking in and out a breeze. Looking forward to sharing this space with other traveling to Austin. Thanks guys! "

2223634,27180516,2015-02-27,7575817,Alli,"Dani and Joel were great hosts. Perfect layout and was very baby friendly. The neighborhood is one of if not the best neighborhoods for walkability. Also, has a great trail close by. We abosulutely loved our time at the Red House and would absolutely stay again."

2223634,38627019,2015-07-17,36293531,Sarah,"Form start to finish our experience staying at the Red House was exemplary. Dani responds to everything so quickly, our arrival was straight forward and we wanted for nothing during our stay. There was an abundance of information on where to go, what to do and places to shop and eat. If we had any questions during our stay, as usual Dani got back to us swiftly. The house itself is so cosy and comfortable and for our first air BnB experience we couldn't be happier. Every little detail was thought about and it makes such a difference when you arrive a new place. We couldn't be more grateful for being trusted with such a special home! Thanks Dani, we will be back :)"
2223634,38939402,2015-07-19,21063545,Andrew,"The bungalow was fantastic - close to South Congress, but peaceful and private, with a great shaded aspect. When we arrived the house was immaculate and we would definitely book here again. Dani was also very responsive to any questions we had, and made us feel really welcome "
2223634,47378411,2015-09-18,15694685,Danielle,Quiet and private but close to everthing. Great location and great space. South Austin gem. 
2223634,48505454,2015-09-27,26217539,Nora,"This place was so amazing! We spent three nights here for a great girls weekend in Austin. The location was perfect- so walkable to nearby sites, restaurants, and bars. We loved the yard and having somewhere cute and quiet to come home to after a long day or night experiencing Austin. Would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend staying here :)"
2223634,49178570,2015-10-01,234560,Phil,Everything was seamless. Dani was super responsive and the place was a great location and awesome little house! Definitely look forward to staying again.
7612102,44853464,2015-08-29,26520109,Avron,"My daughter and I stayed at the home of Michael
Lewis from 8/24 to (phone number hidden). The house is uncommonly pleasant and well-kept inside and out - the outside includes quite a substantial and pleasant garden area. Our two rooms were very quiet and private and connected by an intervening bathroom, very well-kept and well-appointed. The rooms themselves were outstandingly comfortable, with such amenities as a refrigerator, well-stocked with drinks and snacks, of which Michael cordially urged us to partake - as well as the good coffee and coffee maker downstairs, and a good breakfast, which we passed up because we were visiting family who wanted us to be with them as much as possible.

Michael himself is a remarkably pleasant and generous person, good to meet and talk with, and unfailingly considerate and accommodating.

All in all, we felt really lucky to find this excellent alternative to hotel accommodations and would not hesitate to recommend it to other travelers."
7612102,49727140,2015-10-05,44963937,Celeste,Great host! Amazing backyard and The rooms were clean and his pets didn't bother and are extremely cute! We felt comfortable and safe and he accommodated us with snacks and the restroom was packed with emergency essentials that came in handy! I would go back and recommend this host to everyone! First experience at Airbnb and was extremely satisfied:)   
7612102,51081955,2015-10-17,13679256,Babak,Michael is a great host and his place is awesome. We had a great time. Thanks:)

287303,37899657,2015-07-11,36875644,Musa,"Vincent was very professional and accommodating after our initial choice was booked. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. The location was convenient to downtown where our event was and local shopping. The home was just large enough to fit our large group, and the fenced yard helped with the kids. Would recommend this house and host. "
4897239,50350435,2015-10-11,27296534,Katie,"Carlos was a great host and overall we had a great experience staying at his place. He was very welcoming and upon arrival had a bottle of wine waiting for us. He also showed us some of the nightlife that Austin had to offer and was gracious enough to give us a few rides saving us on Uber and taxi fares. 

I would highly recommend Carlos's space, the master bedroom was spacious, clean, comfortable and exactly what we needed for an overall great stay in Austin. The huge connected bathroom was a plus as well!

Carlos is very easy to work with, quick to respond and makes the arrival and departure process very simple. "
8559418,49559060,2015-10-04,2915767,Carey,"Julie was incredibly accommodating. The condo is in a very convenient area (especially given that we were going to ACL). She even offered to pick up groceries etc. for us. In short, an awesome condo with an incredibly gracious and thoughtful host."
8559418,50544855,2015-10-12,39735224,Mike,Jules was more than accommodating to  me and my friends.  She even  offered to buy us groceries on top of the bottles of water and a couple other items she already provided.  The condo was pretty much perfect for ACL.  It's located pretty close to the festival just a short fifteen minute walk to the festival grounds so we saved money not having to worry about Uber or taxis.  It's also pretty close to downtown which is really convenient.  And if we ever needed anything Jules was just a text away and more than willing to help.  Hope to stay again someday soon!
8559418,51372006,2015-10-19,39462244,Ian,"Jules was a great host.  We had a smooth, pain free  experience.  The apartment is small and cute as advertised and in a part of Austin where we could either bike or cheaply Uber to anywhere we wanted to go. You are definitely not right in the thick of things, but the quiet complex felt safe and quiet.  "
8559418,52113204,2015-10-26,32273338,Alex,Jules was so hospitable and even apologized for the rain! She made our first airbnb experience so pleasant. The condo was exactly as described and we had a wonderful time.
5303937,49803006,2015-10-06,43307503,Chris,"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Sara and Ashlee's place! We only had the chance to meet Sara, but she was very welcoming and made us feel instantly comfortable in her home. Our room had plenty of space, and they ended being away for the weekend, so we got the whole place to ourselves (which, by the way, is decorated so artistically and adorable). We got to use the kitchen in the mornings for breakfast, and they were also kind enough to leave us coffee to make. We went for ACL, and the drive into the park each day was not long at all. There are also plenty of restaurants and bars right around the place, which was great. All around, very happy with the stay!"
5303937,50787802,2015-10-14,43479481,Sarah-Jayne,The room was great the bed was amazing. Although the outside looks a little shady the girls have a brilliant and warm home! Would definitely stay again! 
5303937,52023453,2015-10-25,31550641,Abiha,"Sara and Ashlee were great hosts. I arrived past midnight and even though I didn't get to meet them at that time, I appreciated their flexibility with my late arrival. The room is really cute and the entire apartment is well decorated. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The next morning, I finally met both Sara and Ashlee. They were warm and gave me suggestions of stuff I must see and do in Austin. It was pouring rain and they so generously drove me to the train station. That was so sweet and I really appreciated that. I know where I'm staying next time I'm in Austin!"
5303937,52300495,2015-10-27,46665800,Anthony,"Sara and Ashley were great hosts. Although we didn't meet face to face, they were in constant communication with me and made check-in process easy. Overall, my stay was very enjoyable. The room is nicely decorated and the bed is really comfortable. There are some great places to explore in the area from the list of suggestions that Sara and Ashley provided."
2867059,12521118,2014-05-04,11726086,Kendra,What an amazing host! And I say that without even getting to stay. My son and I were planning a road trip to see my daughter at UT and made last minute reservations with Angel. We got as far as Waco and my son got sick...and I mean not the kind of sick you can show up to a darling little camper and attempt to enjoy your stay. I texted Angel and she refunded all of the money - I can assure you our next trip down will be in one of her properties! 
2867059,12940063,2014-05-14,254,John Erik,"My girlfriend and I had a night in Austin. It was actually her birthday. We thought it would be fun to stay in a very Austin place; and what's more Austin than a little camper, an outdoor shower and a toilet in the shed? 

It was poring rain when we arrived, but the house was relatively easy to find. I checked with Angel before to make sure we weren't going to float away. Turns out even through it was pouring rain and the downtown street were flooding, the backyard, the camper and the shed were perfectly fine. We ran back and forth between the camper and the shed, brushed our teeth, used one of the towels to dry off, and settled into bed. 

The bed was comfy. It was awesome to listen to the thunder and watch the windows light up with the lightening. The camper is super cute inside and now I totally want one. I'm imagining touring the American countryside, singing with the windows down, pulling a little teardrop camper and peeing in the woods. Ahhhh, the good life.  

I suggest you stay at Angel's camper. She was completely responsive and the setup was great.  "
2867059,12992283,2014-05-16,5674716,Floor & Joost,The caravan is a great experience!! 
2867059,13168303,2014-05-20,7320749,Prissy,"angel was a such an easy going host! my sis + i ended up getting into atx hours early, and she let us check in 4 hrs earlier than planned. the place was the cutest. very thoughtful in the details. close to so many good things, and downtown was right down the road. i plan to visit again real soon! a+++ "
2867059,13229727,2014-05-22,15560381,Marion,We loved the happy camper! My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights and it was the perfect place for a quick visit in Austin. The camper was cozy and comfortable and well-equipped with everything Angel says it has. Angel was responsive to any questions we had and she really has put together a great little place to stay if ever in this great city. Would definitely recommend it!
2867059,13334568,2014-05-25,7743156,Holly,Staying in the happy camper was such a fun and positive experience for my friend and me! Angel thought of every detail from the precious decorations to flip flops for us to wear walking between the camper and the shed where the bathroom is. We slept so well!
2867059,13575301,2014-05-31,14927668,Rachel,This camper was a great experience. The space was very comfortable and cozy.  My friend and I spent a week here and felt right at home. Angel was very helpful and quick to answer any questions we had during our stay. The location was also perfect for us as everything we needed was less than a 15 minute drive away.  The newly renovated outdoor shower and bathroom were nicely done as well.  I highly recommend this rental!
2867059,13708862,2014-06-02,14800033,Angela,"The Happy Camper is adorable & really creative- Everything was as described.  It was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed for a weekend.  We especially loved the record player & outdoor shower.  Angel left the keys and great instructions for us... Thanks!"
2867059,14316300,2014-06-16,16437504,Greyson,"Angel was great, and the Happy Camper was exactly as advertised. We have a wonderful stay: the bed was incredibly comfortable, the outdoor shower was cool and refreshing, and the aesthetics were peachy."
2867059,14416124,2014-06-18,9421041,David,Awesome host. Thank you
2867059,14526515,2014-06-21,4243648,Miranda,"Our stay at the Happy Camper was amazing! It was perfectly located in East Austin- down the street from a main bus line and walking distance to many of the bars and shops in East Austin.  We loved the camper and the outdoor shower too. Angel even brought us bikes and bike locks so that we could easily get around Austin. Overall, great experience. "
2867059,14760788,2014-06-25,8924818,Jesse,"This was a cute place, close to a lot of good stuff in Austin. I stayed there with my girlfriend for two nights while on a road trip. We liked the accommodations, and the listing represented the place accurately. The record player was a great touch; we played an old Emmylou Harris LP. There were a couple of hiccups on our particular stay -- the bathroom lights stopped working between the first and second nights, and the shower curtain didn't go around all the way to provide full privacy. But I mentioned both of these things to Angel and she was very receptive. They seem easily fixable."
2867059,14803121,2014-06-26,14946866,Gina,How could you ask for more!?!  Sweet airstream with a comfy bed that smelled of fresh spring and an outdoor shower. Then to top it off SAMs BBQ down the street! Amazing. I had a full belly and relaxed listening to Emmylou Harris on the record player to close the night and then Cat Stevens to bring in the day. I would definitely recommend this place..she has this hosting thing down to a science. Thank you! 
2867059,14926144,2014-06-29,8612310,Mark,great. really loved the bikes Angel hooked up. 
2867059,15012776,2014-06-30,4140028,Leslie,"We had a great time staying in Angel's camper for the night!  We never met Angel, but she was very responsive via email/text message.  The camper was just as described.  It was very comfortable and cute!  Perfect for a one-night, last-minute visit to Austin.

"
2867059,15163647,2014-07-03,12592680,Nick,Great place with all of the litttle things. We loved the caravan very much and Angel was extremely helpful.
2867059,15465084,2014-07-09,4081159,William,"We stayed in Angel's camper on our last day in Austin and it was a really fun experience! The camper is super charming, makes me want to have a camper in my own backyard.
There's AC in the camper so it's easy to stay cool on a hot day. The shower is located outside but it's pretty hidden and it's all part of the experience.
The location is perfect for us because we were planning on going to Franklin's the next day and it's only like a 2-3 min drive. I will definitely recommend staying here!"
2867059,15658262,2014-07-13,4341978,Leslie,"Great host and easy fast booking. Located in East Austin and close to everything. Cold AC was perfect even in mid July. I left a pillow behind, and Angel grabbed it for us before the next guests arrived.  Would definitely book again! "
2867059,15733390,2014-07-14,3040633,Taylor,We loved the camper!! Perfect location for a getaway to Austin. Loved the outdoor shower! We stay again in a heartbeat!

2867059,15842325,2014-07-16,4157456,Emily,The happy camper is so rad! Angel was a wonderful host and super communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!
2867059,15994283,2014-07-19,17578524,Jaleesa,"I live in Austin and needed a quiet night away from my 3 roommates! Angel accepted my request to stay in the camper right away and she communicated with me about my check-in and check-out times (which were flexible) and said she was happy to welcome me! The camper was wonderful: clean, AC worked great, the bed was comfy, and the record player is such a fun touch. The night I stayed a huge thunderstorm rolled in which made for an even cozier night to myself. The next morning Angel texted me to ask how I slept and if everything was okay with the camper which was SO sweet and appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Angel's properties to others and I would gladly stay there again!! "
2867059,16145507,2014-07-22,15178440,Margaret,"Our stay was incredibly enjoyable - We loved the Happy Camper, and were thoroughly pleased with both the space and Angel. 

The outdoor shower, record player, bikes and adequate AC made for an extremely relaxing vacation at a price we could afford. 

Highly recommend the Happy Camper for both the proximity to downtown / the Convention Center and the gracious host. 

In the future, I would prefer to rent the camper and the house that share the property, as to have the whole lot to ourselves, but the camper was perfect for us for this trip! "
2867059,16593201,2014-07-29,18616511,Sangil,"I and my girlfriend stayed in Angel's camper and it was a really great for our first experience of airbnb. The camper is same as picture, and inside of the camper is a little smaller than what I expected, but looks nice and cute. I and my gf loved outdoor showered. The restroom also cleaned. Nice camper and patio, we loved this place and highly recommend!"
2867059,16695603,2014-07-31,11571175,Kamie,"I loved staying in the Happy Camper! Although I didn't get the chance to meet Angel, she was always prompt in responding and her property was the perfect retreat after a long day of traveling- the record player was a great touch. My favorite perk was the outdoor shower, it was perfect after spending the day walking around the East Side. Thanks again!"
2867059,16735614,2014-08-01,17975360,Katie,"LOVE the Happy Camper!  It was so cute and had everything we needed.  The outdoor shower was better than I expected.... Angel provides shampoo, conditioner and body wash, and the rain shower head was heaven.  We look forward to staying there again!"
2867059,17167253,2014-08-08,2316395,Ann,"the camper was a magical little spot, perfect for the creative retreat planned - surprisingly spacious, comfortable bed, hard-working a.c., and convenient mini-fridge. angel was super responsive and very accommodating! will most definitely recommend the camper, and certainly stay again xo"
2867059,17398200,2014-08-11,19233153,Julian,"The Happy Camper was a perfect place to stay in Austin. Keeping in line with ""Keep Austin Weird"" was the exact reason we chose to stay here. The happy camper was cute and quaint, and supplied the much needed air-conditioning one would need in the Texas heat in August. We felt very comfortable staying here. It also felt quite adventurous being able to shower outdoors. The camper was in a good area and was an easy $10 cab to downtown or Southern Congress. Angel was very responsive and her flexibility made it a very easy and relaxing stay. There were plenty of clean towels and everything was neat and tidy and easy to find. We would definitely recommend to those interested in a little urban camping."
2867059,17571185,2014-08-14,17489728,Dougie,"We had a marvellous time staying for three nights in the campervan - so much so that when we left, we felt as though we were leaving home. The van is so cute, and has absolutely everything you need, as well as being very comfortable and clean. Sharing a patio with the apartment opposite is really nice, as we made good friends with the family who were staying at the time, spent lots of time together and are still in contact. The neighbourhood is convenient, being just a short bike ride, walk or drive from downtown - all in all a fantastic place to stay! Highly recommended!"
2867059,17723077,2014-08-16,19651960,Joshua,"Angel and the happy camper were great! Angel rolled out the carpet for me and the place is super super cute. It was very very hot the few days I stayed and the AC was splendid as was the outdoor shower. The neighborhood was amazing too and just a short, cheap ride from the airport by cab.

On this trip I learned a few new things about Austin including ""Moonlight towers"" of which there are several close by (but not so close they prevent you from sleeping) phew."
2867059,17867226,2014-08-18,7293613,Randi,"I had a great time exploring Austin with the Happy Camper as my home base. Location is best for those with a car, but definitely doable by bike as I did. Camper was clean, and good for those okay for lodging without the frills. Air conditioner was clutch as it was very hot when I visited. Angel was a savior of a host and helped me out with transportation when the bike got a flat. Overall, Austin was great!"
2867059,17963864,2014-08-19,3437489,Jennifer,"Your trailer and outdoor shower/shed bathroom had everything we needed and it was easy to self check-in and out. I can see you put a lot of effort into making a welcoming environment, A/C and refrigerator were perfect for out needs. Outdoor shower was quite relaxing in the Austin heat. Thank you!"
2867059,18420446,2014-08-26,816034,Eli,The happy camper is adorable and I loved listening to records in there! Angel was awesome and very understanding when I had to leave a little bit early. I will definitely be back when I have more time!

2867059,18580272,2014-08-28,20021387,Shawna,Our favorite AirBnB experience to date. This camper is so darn groovy! The outdoor shower rules. We would love to come back.
2867059,18897824,2014-09-02,19118482,Kahran,Angel is an awesome host and this spot is amazing!  So unique.  Angel made sure we had everything we needed during our stay and made us feel very welcome.  We'd love to rent from any of Angel's listings in the future! 
2867059,19400479,2014-09-11,21136825,Skye,Everything was so great! The AC kept the camper really chilled off at night. The record player lulled us to sleep. The patio lights made for great ambience. The outdoor shower was amazing. A+ experience!!!!!!!!!
2867059,19697036,2014-09-16,3042306,Lindsay,"Angel's Happy Camper was great!  She was very responsive to all our needs and the place is just adorable.  My partner and I had the chance to meet the people staying in the main house, who were in The Young Wild band on tour, and they put us on the list for free entry + drinks to their concert.  Overall, this was an amazing Austin experience at the most adorable place to stay.  We loved the outdoor shower!"
2867059,19743831,2014-09-17,20604192,Meg,"This was the most perfect little stop for us on my husband and I's road trip. It was quiet, private, and oh so dang adorable. We listened to records on her record player and drank ciders on the patio. I would most definitely stay here again. "
2867059,19888349,2014-09-20,20490120,Gabriel,SuperFunSpot! Would stay again in a heartbeat. Thanks Angel! We are inspired by your creativity...
2867059,20069419,2014-09-22,21452694,Natalie,"What an experience.  I was so comfortable staying on this property.  The bed was cozy, the scenery resplendently beautiful and the coffee great!  The outdoor shower was AMAZING.  I was hesitant at first but I finally went for it and it was like an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.  You have outdone yourself like a dog at a fire hydrant.  Thank you."
2867059,20176440,2014-09-24,6809653,David,"Great communication. LOVED the outdoor shower. Comfy place to be and a unique vibe. 

A/C is super noisy but works well. 

Close to downtown in a cool part of town with some very colourful characters. "
2867059,20418579,2014-09-29,63963,Sole & Sabina,"We loved the stay at the Happy Camper - super charming and the outdoor shower was great. Angel was very responsive and helpful too.

Just a heads up, if you don't have a car the location is a bit out of the way for most of the sights/interesting areas of town."
2867059,20755430,2014-10-05,11101836,Mandy,"The cute, kitschy, clean, cozy, fun Happy Camper absolutely made our trip to Austin. The outdoor showers were amazing in the Texas heat--maybe my favorite part. From now on I'm only staying in treehouses and campers and houseboats; thank you, Angel, for opening our eyes up to even MORE fun on vacation!!"
2867059,20965690,2014-10-08,21541595,Julie,"The happy camper was just as it showed and even more cute in reality. The outdoor shower was so refreshing, the air conditioning kept it very cool and Angel was very responsive when there was a minor plumbing issue. I would recommend a stay here! "
2867059,21013613,2014-10-09,17298084,Pei,Angel had the little camper all set up and cozy when I arrived. The camper is even more adorable than the pictures. Had the best time having a mini staycation and will definitely stay here again in the future! 
2867059,21474378,2014-10-18,10131608,Jessica,My boyfriend and I stayed in the Happy Camper over my birthday weekend and it was absolutely perfect.  It definitely made our Austin experience complete.  Angel really thought of every detail when it came to making it comfortable and stocked it with anything you may need.  We didn't have the chance to meet Angel but she was very responsive.  If I get a chance to go back to Austin the Happy Camper is where I will want to stay.  Highly recommend it!
2867059,21528992,2014-10-19,20115342,Lisa,The Happy Camper is an excellent place to crash when visiting downtown Austin or the UT football game.  Only a $5 to $7 Uber ride away from all the action!  Angel is super nice and very accomodating.  The Happy Camper is cozy and we slept like a baby.  It's a home away from home.  We will return.
2867059,21693209,2014-10-21,20914423,Danielle,Great location to downtown!! Quiet and cozy place...would definitely stay here again! 
2867059,21734614,2014-10-22,14298311,Jeff,"Very clean and very stylish! The record player is a nice touch. We only stayed one night, but it was a cool place!"
2867059,21821398,2014-10-25,17807023,Sophie,"Happy camper was awsum!

Perfect for 2people, shower was amazing close to everything and angel was an angel!"
2867059,22123132,2014-10-30,22628869,Kerry,"Loved the happy camper! I would definitely stay there again. Clean, cute and comfy. It made our stay in Austin even better : )"
2867059,22288998,2014-11-03,16488142,Natalie,"The Happy Camper was just as advertised, clean and inviting. Angel responded quickly to our queries. The neighbourhood was a little intimidating at first but on closer inspection the people were friendly and welcoming. Just a thirty minute walk to downtown, cab home less than ten dollars. The outdoor shower was a pleasant experience, hot and private. The Happy Camper is very in keeping with the Keepin' Austin Weird theme. I would definitely recommend, record player is a nice touch, we enjoyed picking up a few records at Waterloo Records and being able to head back to the camper and play them. We stayed here for the F1 race weekend, an excellent alternative to the mainstream accommodation at inflated prices. Thank you Angel!"
2867059,22416732,2014-11-05,4859893,Nathan,Such a cute little camper! The record player and the outdoor shower are definite pluses. Location was near enough to bike or bus or Uber to the cool spots of East Austin.  
2867059,22449296,2014-11-06,9544071,J,Angel's place was a gem.  Perfect space for us on our one night stop in Austin.  Loved the outdoor shower!  The location was perfect being in East Austin just a short walk to anything around. 
2867059,22701815,2014-11-12,4160489,Risa,"The camper was absolutely delightful. Although it was unexpectedly chilly in Texas during our stay, the heater provided plenty of warmth. I will say it's a good idea to check the weather beforehand since your only showering option is outside and the shed with the bathroom is not insulated. It was totally fine for us, but other's might have found it less than comfy. The camper is adorable and has everything you need to make a little home during your stay. Such great attention to detail; we loved the record player and selection of music. We had an odd run in with the house guests but Angel was awesome about apologizing. She gave us such great advice about the neighborhood and provided us with bikes which was much appreciated. She very responsive and helpful in any way she can be. I would 100% stay in the camper again. 

One word of advice: if you're tall, you might want to stay elsewhere. The bed is big enough but my 6'3"" boyfriend kept hitting his head on the ceiling. Remember that this is a cozy camper.

Thanks Angel!"
2867059,22775683,2014-11-14,23297257,Judson,"The description was accurate, as were the pictures. The place is really adorable. "
2867059,23486946,2014-12-01,24302854,Morgan,"booking/payment/checkin were super easy. made the plans the night before. the camper was just as pictured, cool deal"
2867059,24043810,2014-12-17,18350894,Laine,"Angel's ""Happy Camper"" was just as quaint and cozy as pictured. It was dark when we arrived and a little hard to figure out the parking situation, but Angel responded promptly to our inquiry. We enjoyed listening to some records inside while we relaxed, but we were bummed not to have any coffee with us to make in the tiny coffee pot. It was a chilly night, so we opted to forgo the outdoor shower, though I'm sure it would have been quite pleasant on a hot night.  We were close to a number of great restaurants, bars, etc. and felt safe in the neighborhood. All around a great experience that we would recommend!"
2867059,24398167,2014-12-27,23267227,Mary Amelia,"Adorable camper and the outdoor shower is an incredible experience! Angel was super, super helpful--any questions, and she responded immediately, she was flexible about our luggage, and an excellent host, even from out of town. "
2867059,24515595,2014-12-29,13698598,Amanda,The camper is adorable and we enjoyed our experience.  It wasn't the most pleasurable experience using the bathroom because it was freezing cold but we had a great time. The host was very helpful.
2867059,25213146,2015-01-09,25240448,Nikki,The camper was so great!! It was such a cool and different way to stay in Austin. It was a really cold night but the space heater kept us more than warm. The neighborhood was interesting and close to all other spots around the city! All in all great time!!
2867059,25869129,2015-01-27,11206586,Emily,"Angel was able to accommodate us on very short notice, and provided a lovely little escape for our impromptu visit to Austin. The camper was lovely and well outfitted. I officially want both her 3-in-1 breakfast appliance, and her tiny heater. Very efficient. Thanks so much!"
2867059,26433233,2015-02-12,701916,Gordon,Sweet unique pad. Would stay at again. Thanks!
2867059,26506817,2015-02-14,12295783,Tyler,"Great location. So close to downtown! After staying in several AirBNB airstreams, this is, by far, the coolest one. Great backyard area for hanging out. The outdoor shower was a great addition.  I definitely recommend staying here to anyone interested in a unique, fun experience!"
2867059,26685624,2015-02-17,13344084,Carlin,"My boyfriend and I loved staying in the Happy Camper over Presidents Day weekend. It was adorable, clean, exactly as pictured, and a great place to stay in Austin. 

Check in/out was super easy even with our weird arrival and departure times (late evening and very early morning). The camper is pretty small, but we put our suitcases in the bathroom/shed which made a great storage and changing area.

We loved listening to the Rolling Stones record on the record player. We spent a lot of time on East 6th St - eating, going to bars, exploring the farmer's market, going to thrift stores, drinking coffee - and the camper was a convenient 1 mile from that area. We also took the bus a couple times and you can catch the 2 or the 6 within blocks from the camper. 

There is a nice metal fence around the whole property so it feels very secure. We had a great time, Angel was a great host, and we can't wait to return to Austin!"
2867059,26828845,2015-02-20,4268868,Darren,"quirky property, everything you will need for a pleasant overnight stay."
2867059,26893860,2015-02-21,27705858,Jenna,"Tucked away behind the main house, this happy little camper provided just the perfect stay in Austin! Exactly as the listing mentions, Angel provides everything you need to enjoy the camper - towels, sheets, coffee, and a really sweet record player with a great selection of records to enjoy. The AC unit works (email hidden)d there is an excellent supply of hot water in the outdoor shower! 

If you can, I would recommend getting there with some daylight to spare so that you can turn a light on to come home to. (There is light outside the shed with the toilet and sink.)

Angel was very quick to respond and a delightful host! We will definitely be back! "
2867059,27115247,2015-02-25,28048199,Andy,"This was my first experience with Airbnb and Angel made it a pleasant one.  She was very accommodating and the description of the place was spot on.  I was in town for a conference and this was super convenient to get to, easy to find, park, etc.  "
2867059,27623797,2015-03-08,28647647,Michael,"Happy Camper was lovely, clean and super affordable. I was in town for a wedding, and the trailer was conveniently located. Was nervous about the outdoor shower in March. But as other BNBer's noted, there was plenty of hot water. Thanks for the great place, Angel."
2867059,27839245,2015-03-13,25585355,Pam,Happy camper was easy to find. Tucked behind a bright turquoise bungalow. It is a petite little space with all the necessities. Was a little worried about out door shower but actually enjoyed that experience. Just remember this is a camper and the street noise goes up when daylight arrives.  Loved Austin and this fits in with the rest of this city's culture. 
2867059,28659566,2015-03-28,10417962,Brennen,"The camper is a cute and cozy place to stay for a solo traveler. I put Jimi Hendrix on the record player and cracked open a Lone Star beer from the fridge upon arrival. The outdoor shower is nice in warm, calm weather, but a bit uncomfortable when a breeze comes through..."
2867059,28857399,2015-03-30,14209555,June,"oh, the happy camper. how i love thee. cute and simple and tiny and just what we thought it would be. love that it was instant book--we were in kind of a pinch and wanted to explore the east side. the happy camper fit the bill. parking was easy and just outside the gate, which made it easy to run back and forth to the car if we needed stuff. everything we needed was there and it was very easy to live camper style. in terms of location, just be aware that you might need a car or use one of her bicycles to get from place to place. or uber, which we did several times and it was very very easy. "
2867059,30097660,2015-04-17,4523714,Denise,"I had such a great stay in this little camper! I was traveling for work and this lovely camper and yard was such a great respite. Everything was clean, comfortable and beautiful. I walked and used Uber to get to and from without any trouble. Expect a 30+ minute walk to get to E. 6th and E. 7th or downtown. I loved having a chance to see a bit of the neighborhood, but others may want to consider a bike if you aren't driving. All in all, I had a great stay. Thanks, Angel!"
2867059,31258614,2015-05-03,8420538,Marie-Christine,"Super helpful and great space! Instantly responded and was super friendly.  Highly recommend it for a cozy, unique experience."
2867059,31793473,2015-05-10,2929416,Nicole,"Angel was very responsive and helpful. Although our visit was cut short, I would recommend this listing. The camper and bathroom are very clean and this is a good size for one person but a little tight for two."
2867059,32412096,2015-05-17,5633418,Bryan,The happy camper is exactly how Angel describes it. It's actually more spacious than I had imagined too. I'm 6'2 and I was able to stand up without hitting my head. The neighborhood is great and add only a $5 uber ride to downtown. Her outdoor shower is absolutely perfect and the patio is great for relaxing and having a break from walking around the city. She was super accommodating to us and we can't wait to stay again in the future!
2867059,32592124,2015-05-19,32445489,Colton,"We had an incredible stay in the happy camper. Incredible location, easy to uber, bike, or walk to the city. Bathroom was clean, outdoor shower was incredibly relaxing. Will be back"
2867059,35036312,2015-06-14,35339562,Hannah,All I hoped it would be! Fantastic location. Beautiful spot. Very happy overall! 
2867059,35330205,2015-06-17,34658789,Samantha,"The Happy Camper was such a huge highlight of our experience in Austin! The photos and descriptions provided are incredibly accurate. The camper is small, but so cozy. My boyfriend said it felt like being ""hugged by your home."" East Austin is an awesome neighborhood and could be enjoyed on its own. We had no problem walking from the camper to neighborhood bars (about 20 minutes) and even to downtown Austin (about 45-1hr) - but if you don't have that sort of time I would advise renting a car/bike or relying on Uber. Angel was a wonderful host and provided a superb list of things to do. We highly recommend the Happy Camper and hope to have an excuse to visit again soon! "
2867059,36033912,2015-06-24,2686416,Kathy,"Angel and The Happy Camper were both delightful! Angel was always quick to respond and super friendly. Check in was easy as she sent us wonderful directions/instructions. Everything was ready when we arrived and the camper is perfectly appointed. The neighborhood is great for walking (& our morning jog). So many wonderful little restaurants and shops are in walking distance, as is the light rail. We would definitely stay here again. "
2867059,37603308,2015-07-08,25130025,Lucy,Unfortunately we weren't able to meet Angel but we LOVED the Happy Camper. The space was exactly as pictured and in a great location. 
2867059,38191626,2015-07-13,13543238,Rory,Angel was very accommodating and was quick to respond to all of our questions. The camper was everything we expected and more. Recommended!
2867059,38450824,2015-07-15,36995992,Jessica,"My roommate and I spent a couple days in the Happy Camper during our stay in Austin. We had awesome experience with the space. The photos are accurate and you can tell Angel takes pride in her property. If we had to do it again, we'd definitely choose the Happy Camper again. "
2867059,38931390,2015-07-19,2527283,Alex,It was great! We'd definitely stay there again. 
2867059,39217175,2015-07-21,2166301,Hellen,"My stay in Angel's camper RULED. I just needed a quiet and snug place to stay alone and work a couple days, and I was able to do that here (there was a small desk and chair where I worked). The AC worked perfectly in the hellish ATX heatscape, the large bed was very comfortable, and the outdoor shower delivered maximum delirious joy. Thank you!!!"
2867059,39470089,2015-07-23,311719,Andrew,"Had a great stay in this cute little camper! Angel accommodated us last minute (we booked at about 7pm the first night we stayed) and was quite helpful and gracious. The space was clean, looks just like the pictures, the bed was comfortable, and the separate bathroom and shower were clean and well kept as well. The AC in the camper worked perfectly, cooled the place down very fast when we came home for the evening, even when it was 100+ degrees outside. Loved the space and would highly recommend!"
2867059,40349863,2015-07-30,36995335,Lauren,"I thought the little camper was great! It was perfect for us for the two days and it was the perfect home base for discovering Austin. Angel was very prompt with getting us information about our stay. Would highly recommend the place, maybe even try the other house on the property if we were to come back with friends!"
2867059,41144791,2015-08-04,36132506,Anne,The Happy Camper was in a convenient location to downtown. Angel was easy to contact and responded quickly to questions/concerns. The air conditioner unit in the camper does intermittently drip condensation when being used. It does not drip on the bed. I just put a towel under the spot it dripped. I did not tell Angel about the issue until we left and she was thankful for knowing. I am sure if I had told her during our stay that she would have taken care of the issue then. 
2867059,41546082,2015-08-07,15319195,Ben,"Couldn't think of a better place to stay in Austin. Angel's caravan is superb - while the outdoors shower is a real treat in the Texas summer heat. Located within a quick Uber or bus to downtown and Rainey Street - perfect location. Dealing with Angel was superb. Booked the caravan late due to a change in travel plans, and Angel was incredibly helpful to ensure I found my way there (even leaving the light and air con on). A++"
2867059,42988996,2015-08-16,41184548,Erick,Awesome!
2867059,43509816,2015-08-20,4609695,Karen,"I had such a great stay at the Happy Camper!

Check in was a breeze and Angel was easy to contact both before and during my stay. 

The pictures of the camper are true to life and it was a great experience to stay in such an unusual home for a few days! The AC cools the camper down pretty quickly and the fridge/freezer was fab for always having cold drinks on hand during the intense Austin heat!

Access to downtown Austin and surrounding areas is fantastic. Only 15 mins on the number 6 bus and $2.50 for a local 24 hour pass - fantastic value! 

Thanks Angel for a lovely place to stay in Austin!"
2867059,43671843,2015-08-21,19708911,Mario,The host canceled this reservation 14 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
2867059,44621165,2015-08-27,27009273,Michael,I was very pleased with the location and communication.  I would def stay here again.
2867059,45043368,2015-08-30,40826035,Jonathan,"The Happy Camper was even better than pictured! It was very cozy and the air conditioning worked great to combat the high temps! It was a great location to be in, close enough to everything we wanted to do while in town. Angel was also extremely responsive and quick to resolve any issues. Highly recommend!"
2867059,46435240,2015-09-10,21423075,Ali,I had a great stay in the happy camper. I can't wait to come back to Austin. Thanks to Angel for making it such an easy process!
2867059,47202098,2015-09-16,12742401,Stephanie,"Host was wonderful, space was wonderful, everything was great. Due to an unfortunate event, I had to leave a day early. But Angel was incredibly understanding and helpful. I'm sad I didn't get to stay the whole time, and would definitely suggest this rental to everyone."
2867059,47413144,2015-09-18,2841367,Hamza,I had a really enjoyable time staying here.  It was a very unique and fun experience.
2867059,48022976,2015-09-22,33111299,Heather,The happy camper was the perfect place for my two day stay! The ac was great and just the private getaway I needed!
2867059,48912452,2015-09-29,7738575,Stephen,"Such an awesome experience. We loved the Happy Camper and can't wait to go back. Thank you, Angel!"
2867059,50823563,2015-10-14,2523303,Jeane Michel,The Happy Camper was a quick and easy stay for my partner and I as we had last minute plans fall through. The instant book for Angel's place was amazing. The location was close to everything we wanted to see and more! 
2867059,50922607,2015-10-16,16974932,James,This is probably one of the best places I've ever stayed in! (And I've rented a lot of houses etc..) We loved the camper.  My girlfriend couldn't get over how cute it was. We thought the bathroom situation was going to be tricky but it wasn't at all. Thanks for letting us stay Angel!
2867059,51460531,2015-10-20,3271205,Ronel,"We enjoyed our stay at the happy camper. It was pretty close to everything we wanted to do. The camper is comfortable and the outdoor shower was intimidating at first, but it worked out well. The bathroom in the shed was nice and clean. I did not expect it to be a finished bathroom. I would definitely stay here again. Angel was quick to respond to all the questions I had. We enjoyed her Austin recommendations. Thanks again!"
2367036,10342221,2014-02-14,9204145,Katarina,"Veronica was very sweet and helpful, she provided us with great directions on how to get to her place. The location is good, very close to the shops and awesome restaurants in SoCo!"
2367036,10706689,2014-03-03,273671,Kimberly,"Veronica went above and beyond the calls of host duty, and she is very friendly and likes to meet travelers!  She is very on top of communication and the place is kept perfectly clean with fresh amenities-- and other thoughtful things-- like bagels in the fridge for the morning if we wanted, and a pitcher of water with drinking glasses.  She provides a white noise machine in the event the neighbors are loud, but they weren't at all (and I slept like a rock).  Located off the south frontage road off I-35 south (just below Oltorf exit), the location of the apartment is great too-- you can walk to SoCo if desired.  I definitely recommend renting this unit from Veronica!  "
2367036,10768799,2014-03-06,12498837,Robin,"Veronica was a wonderful host.  She was helpful and also respectful - she was there if you needed something or wanted to chat, but if you wanted some time alone, she offered a completely private room/bathroom.  The room was quaint and comfy - and very walkable to South Congress and South First.  "
2367036,10804963,2014-03-08,11585459,Tim,"Veronica was a great host! She was able to suggest an awesome local BBQ place (Franklins BBQ, worth the three hour wait in line!) The room is very private with its own bath and we walked everywhere we needed to go from the apartment. "
2367036,10856327,2014-03-10,12538322,Will,"Veronica was the BEST airbnb host imaginable! Picked me up from the from the airport, fun to talk with and very welcoming. Her apartment could not be better: clean, quiet, comfortable bed, lots of privacy -- and fresh cut flowers in the bathroom! Can't ask for more! A+++. "
2367036,10959758,2014-03-15,11742370,Vincent,"Warm welcome, spacious and clean room in a relax neighborhood. 15 min away from s.Congress to walking. really close to the nice St-Edwars University. Veronica is very cool person and she take care about her host :)"
2367036,11058412,2014-03-18,12643544,Kelly,"Had a great stay with Veronica. Everything was as expected or better, and she was great about helping us out while we were there. "
2367036,11616496,2014-04-09,6431034,Amy,"Veronica's space and welcoming manner made my visit to Austin very pleasant! Her place is centrally located and accessible to many things on foot and by vehicle. She was an excellent source of information for good shops, restaurants and things to see. I will definitely return to stay!"
2367036,11766177,2014-04-14,13631839,Lydia,"I recommend!  Veronica was incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating with us.  I took my daughter to visit a campus and experience parts of Austin.  We needed someplace within walking distance.  She was incredibly patient with us!  She sent links of things in the area so that I could understand where we would be and plan ahead.  I have to say that I wasn't sure when we arrived because there was no furniture in the living room yet; I ONLY write this in case someone else has the same concern and I want to put your mind at ease!  It will be even more colorful when she is done. I was traveling with my daughter and wanted her to know everything was perfectly fine.  Once we met Veronica, we will felt completely at home and loved the space!  The room is almost like a small suite where the door closes off and you have a private room and bathroom.  Very simple... but compared to the ridiculous prices of hotels in the area (we were there the weekend of MotoGP and everything was overbooked), it was perfect for us backpacking through trying to stay on a budget.  She has put in nice touches to make it welcoming and comfy; everything she has made available for you is bright and colorful.  You also have full use of the kitchen.  We will be returning and now have a truly friendly contact in the immediate area!"
2367036,13199165,2014-05-21,15447395,Ryan,Had a great stay at Veronica's...Veronica is lovely but barely cross paths due to all the fun stuff there is to do in town...great private place to stay...nice part of town and a short cab or bus back from all the good night spots...sweet times..
2367036,13454461,2014-05-27,8236411,Ashley,"Veronica's place was perfect for our trip to Austin.  We had plenty of space we could call ""our own.""   The space was clean which is VERY important to my husband and I, not to mention it is adorably decorated!  I often worry about insects, especially in humid climates but we didn't see a thing!

While we never actually met Veronica because with her busy schedule and out action packed visit we didn't cross paths.  She was so accommodating and sweet.  We had everything we needed (including welcome chocolate) and then some.  She sent great food recommendations (DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND EAT AT ELIZABETH STREET CAFE).  It is also very important to mention that she shipped my forgotten straightener and curling iron very quickly for me!  Not everyone would do that let alone promptly.

We will definitely be staying with her again during future Austin visits!"
2367036,13850849,2014-06-06,1628608,Evelyn,"My husband and I stayed at Veronica's for two days and we loved it! The added privacy of having a door that separates our bedroom and bathroom from the rest of the house was nice. She also has an eye for detail--fresh cut sunflowers, a complimentary bar of chocolate, water carafe on our table and the pretty linens all made it feel like we stayed in a clean and stylish suite. Plus, Veronica is super friendly and easy going. I'd stay here again next time we're in Austin!"
2367036,14095726,2014-06-11,13826592,Michael,"Convenient location, clean room, everything as described. Had a great time here, Veronica is a great host, would definitely rebook. Thanks!"
2367036,14709285,2014-06-24,16420764,Jeanette,"Private, very clean, comfortable and convenient.  Towels, bedside water, chocolate bar, clear internet access instructions, and other amenities graciously offered. An excellent location to scoot in and out of center city Austin with no hassles (we had a rental car and were able to easily navigate). We look forward to booking with you again...   "
2367036,17539453,2014-08-13,9357960,Michael,"Veronica was an extremely gracious hostess during our entire 4 day stay. Her apartment is set up so that it's almost like two separate apartments, with the guest bedroom, bathroom, and closet areas shut off with their own private entrance. The kitchen area (including fridge and oven) were available for us to use as well. The apartment complex is easy to find and located right off of I-35 for easy access to pretty much wherever you might need to go. 
Veronica was extremely kind and left us some delicious goodies on our first night in town! The apartment was extremely clean and the parking situation was very easy (there's a community lot for the complex that's just steps away from her front door).
I highly recommend Veronica! Don't hesitate to stay with her on your next trip to Austin. "
2367036,21196609,2014-10-13,17512487,Camilla,"Thanks for a really great stay, Veronica! You are such a nice hostess, friendly and caring. Thanks for bringing me to the shop to get food, and for the little extras as chocolate, water and toilet articles. I really enjoyed the rooms, clean and airy. Enough hangers were there too, - and I do need many:) The neighbourhood was ok, and just a walking distance to Soco (approx 15/20 min) :-) I have had in wonderful time in Austin, what a fantastic city. I hope I can come back!

5607722,28109731,2015-03-17,14034422,Martin,"Solana did a great job, very responsive and helpful! Her apt is a very convenient location for SXSW and downtown, being about a half mile below the Congress Avenue bridge -- a mile to heart of sixth street is definitely walkable. Hip young apt complex, and use of a parking spot good for any car renters.

The bedroom was great, the bed is very comfortable (great foam/gel topper!) and cool fan overhead. The bathroom is spacious and nice, which was a nice surprise given I hadn't seen a photo.  During SXSW there was a temp. concert venue right out back thumping out the bass until 1:30, but hey I wasn't getting back until almost 1 anyway. But also a nice courtyard area to look out on.

Solana was very helpful and flexible on my arrival and on my departure, offering a ride into town after I dropped my bags and allowing me to keep them there a bit late on my departure day. Her boyfriend and also her roommate at end were also nice and helpful, so I'm happy to recommend this to anyone, whether during SXSW when hotels booked or at other times."
5607722,28188797,2015-03-19,29178110,Nick,"I was really busy with SXSW and just needed a place nearby to leave my stuff and rest when I could, and her place turned out perfect. I'd definitely stay here again if I work out here again."
5607722,30370190,2015-04-20,1517920,Chris,"With VERY short notice, I was looking for a place to stay near downtown so I could explore the area as I'm looking to move downtown soon. I saw Solana's place and the location and price were exactly what I wanted. Once I requested the stay, Solana immediately responded saying that she would be happy to accommodate me! Again, this was VERY short notice, and I was in fact already on my way downtown. She headed home straight from work to meet me at the apartment, and within minutes, I was settled in and felt very comfortable.  Her and her roommate were very welcoming.
The room was quiet and the bed was unbelievably comfortable...best night's sleep in ages! And all this was right in the thick of the SoCo weekend madness!  If the occasion should rise again, I would absolutely book Solana's place again!  I highly recommend Solana's place!"
5607722,30906584,2015-04-28,28133816,Aaron,This was my first time staying at an air Bnb and I was so impressed. She is such a wonderful person and her place is perfect. It is so close to everything in downtown. 
5607722,50480477,2015-10-12,36758019,Alex,"This was my first airbnb experience and I'm happy to say it exceeded all expectations! Solana was an excellent host-very responsive and helpful. She was flexible with our inconvenient arrival and departure times, and was very accommodating to all of our needs. Her place was great; very spacious and comfy! The location was perfect, close to all of the popular attractions. Really can't say enough about our time in Austin and can't thank Solana enough for contributing to our awesome experience. I would 10/10 recommend Solana's place and would absolutely book with her again! "
5607722,51391515,2015-10-19,24659155,Alex,"Stay here!  Solana was a great host and more than accommodating for my friend and I.  She was easy to reach all weekend and provided everything we needed.  She gives really easy instructions of how to navigate in and out of her building and the bedroom we stayed in is actually nicer in person with a full master bathroom including two sinks and two showers!  

The best part about staying here though is the location.  Right in the middle of South Congress  and walking distance to all the cool shops and restaurants. Anything else in Austin worth seeing was no more than 10 minutes away.  Her and her roommates gave us great recommendation for places and restaurants to check out as well.  Cannot beat it!

I would definitely stay with Solana again if I get the chance to come back and you should too!"
753884,3607202,2013-02-22,5067492,Katherine,"My husband, toddler and I needed a place to stay while we were having some renovations done in our home.  We were lucky enough to find Bambi's beautiful home here on airbnb.  We felt very welcomed and at home during our 5 day stay.  Our dogs loved the large yard to explore and we couldn't have been more comfortable.  I wasn't sure what to expect with a 15 month old in another person's home but it worked out perfectly.  We really enjoyed seeing the sun come up every morning through the huge glass doors opening to the back deck and the adjustable bed.  I work from home and was able to use the wifi and the second island for my office with no problems although i could have used one of their actual offices.

We live in the same neighborhood so were happy being so close to our daughter's daycare and my husband's office.  We had dinner at The 263 (Monday is Fish and Chip night) and ate in other nights.  We love the area but for those not familiar there is a great hilly route for running/walking and plenty of yard to enjoy the fresh air.  "
753884,10930583,2014-03-13,6171987,Kristian,"Lovely home, great host! A ways out of central Austin but a great neighborhood and amazing landscape. Bambi was so welcoming and helpful!"
753884,23112119,2014-11-23,18805862,DFarm86,"Bambi was such an awesome host and I could not of had a better experience. The house was very nice and has a lot of extras (very large backyard, chef style kitchen,  sweet media setup, and comfy beds). I would definitely recommend to friends and family. "
753884,23328830,2014-11-29,22778741,David,"This place is great! The first thing you notice when you walk in is the great views and the updated kitchen. The house is far enough away that you feel like you are in the hill country, but close enough that you can drive into the city in less than 20 mins. The house was spotless and comfortable. If you are looking to rent a house in the Austin area, do yourself a favor and try to get this one."
753884,28118309,2015-03-18,12616694,Lindsey,"House was beautiful and a great place to stay. Bambi was very warm and accommodating to my team, who were in town for business. Would definitely recommend!"
753884,29769882,2015-04-12,21456335,Michael,Beautiful home and it was perfect for our needs. Bambi was easy to contact and very helpful and accommodating! Amazing garden! If you're staying in the area this should be your go to house!
753884,49517622,2015-10-04,31868590,Sayla,"We had a wonderful time and Bambi was so accommodating.  The house was beautiful, but I could have spent the entire weekend in the backyard.  It was so peaceful.  Deer were there in the mornings and evenings.  We will definitely stay at this home again when we are back in town."
753884,51212747,2015-10-18,46039398,Lora,My family and I had such a great experience this weekend!! The house was decorated with Halloween decor and we were greeted with homemade cookies and candy for the kids! The beds were comfy and the backyard was to die for our puppy Jaxon loved it as well!! We'd love to go back and see the home during the Christmas holidays! Thank you Bambi for opening up your home!! 
753884,51951235,2015-10-25,16496328,Emaad,"Terrific host and house! Everything top to bottom was perfect! I would certainly recommend staying in this beautiful home! 

Awesome backyard and patio area, great location, lovely host, fantastic communication, couldn't have asked for anything more!

We hope this house is available next time we're in town! =)"
2478693,28406973,2015-03-23,25999922,Fernando,This is the airbnb to get if you want a low key spot with an excellent host. John really took care of us while we stayed during sxsw and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience.  
5261595,28127531,2015-03-18,10557592,Kyrylo,"The place is really great, very modern and comfortable, great bathroom and automatic espresso machine. Also very close to downtown. The gated community is nice and safe, there's an access code to the gate, then a separate code to a key locker."
948038,52102232,2015-10-26,30634101,Katherine,The studio was smaller than we expected. Perfect for a single young traveler. Not so great for a 50+ couple. Austin was great. 
948038,52942532,2015-11-02,6997447,Will,"The location was exactly as described, and Timothy made the process easy. Check-in and check-out were very straightforward. 

The water pump does make some noise during the night, but Timothy is very open in his ad about this, so it wasn't a concern. All in all a good experience."
8250955,50227604,2015-10-10,1846693,Stefan,"Listing is super accurate and lies walking distance over the congress bridge from the city center. Comfortable, spacious apartment! Highly recommendable! :)"
8250955,50694453,2015-10-13,2583808,Desiree,"Both the apartment and the location were Fantastic! We felt the  apartment was perfect. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved the location being right on the trail and since Austin is so bike friendly we brought our bikes. We biked all around the city to several coffee shops, restaurants, and to ACL. Tye was great and always available to answer questions and give good recommendations. We highly recommend this apartment and we will stay here again on our next visit."
8250955,51482397,2015-10-20,8293309,(email hidden),"Tye made sure the apartment was easily accessible. You cant get better access to the lake path than this apartment. South congress, downtown, great food and music was a short walk.  
Loved this place and hope to stay there again. "
8250955,51990893,2015-10-25,10535479,Tina,"The place was perfect for my husband and me. Lots of space, right on the lake and close to downtown. Tye was also great. Very responsive and helpful whenever we had questions. Thanks for a great stay!"
9013100,52523267,2015-10-30,31934738,Satvika,The host canceled this reservation 8 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
716644,2795199,2012-11-03,3162163,LeAnn,"Stephanie and her husband are lovely people; the house is so stylish and eco, the bedroom is adorable with great reading selections and a uber-fluffy mattress, they were so thoughtful with their suggestions for dining out places...it was like having our own hip concierge service in a boutique hotel ( but at a much more affordable rate!). My friend was visiting and she was able to see a side of the States that she probably would not have seen without their help and overall it was a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend their wonderful home:)"
716644,2916640,2012-11-19,3930595,Massimo,Very good experience.  Location was very convenient to downtown Austin and the venue I was attending. Stephanie was very friendly and accomodating. I would certainly stay there again.
716644,3093557,2012-12-15,4153222,Hassan,"This was my first Airbnb experience and it was absolutely great! The house is extremely well designed and fun, and the location is very convenient. 
Stephanie and Bill are lovely people and amazing hosts, I enjoyed hanging out with them a lot. Stephanie is very helpful and easygoing, she made me feel at home the minute I walked in.
I definitely know where to stay the next time I go to Austin! "
716644,3770834,2013-03-13,4167846,Tom,"This was a great, cozy, clean place to stay, just east of downtown.  The house was very quiet and comfortable.  The location was easily accessible via the 17 bus route.  Stephanie and Bill were very hospitable and their dog was very friendly.  I would recommend renting a car if you want to see places outside of downtown Austin.  I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone, especially for those visiting for SXSW."
716644,4238842,2013-04-21,4876289,Roz,"We had a fantastic stay with Bill and Stephanie during our time in Austin. They were very hospitable and gave us loads of advice about how best to spend our time. They were also really flexible and we were able to extend our stay last minute. Their house is beautiful with some really unique touches, and the location is also great and we walked into downtown most days through the very trendy East Austin area. We would definitely highly recommend this listing."
716644,4263932,2013-04-22,4876289,Roz,"We had a wonderful stay with Bill and Stefanie in Austin. They were great hosts and gave us loads of tips of what to do and where to go, and were really flexible when we wanted to extend our stay. The house is beautiful and full of character with really unique touches. Our room was very private tucked upstairs and with an ensuite bathroom. The location is also great in the trendy East side, but close enough to downtown that we were able to walk in most days. We have used airbnb a lot during our tour of the US and this has been one of our favourites, so is definitely highly recommend."
716644,10900314,2014-03-12,7464254,Claudia,"I loved the house and Stephanie and Bill were really nice hosts and helpful and easy going during my stay, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would recommend staying if you'd like to feel at ease during your stay in Austin."
716644,11049097,2014-03-18,7249850,Kristy,"Stephanie and Bill were the best hosts ever! So lovely and accommodating. The room was perfect: incredibly clean, comfortable and private. They both went above and beyond and I would highly recommend staying with them to anyone traveling to Austin. "
716644,22323793,2014-11-03,7065792,Stephen,"Bill and Steph have a wonderful home. The house is beautiful and spotless. The space is very private, with its own bathroom. Extremely comfortable environment and great hosts. Overall, a great experience."
716644,28125155,2015-03-18,2629777,Dalyn,"The place is fantastic, and exactly as described. I was in town for SXSW, and it was a perfect getaway from the craziness of downtown. I would love to stay here again."
716644,33045984,2015-05-24,33784612,Michael,"The whole experience of this stay could not have been more truly easygoing from start to finish. From the opening email it was clear that Stephanie is both relaxed and organized, arriving at the house the photos actually don't do it justice, the room itself was immaculate and overall it was everything that you hope an Airbnb experience will deliver - a home from home where you feel genuinely welcome. Very much look forward to staying here again on any future Austin visit and couldn't recommend it any higher.  "
716644,44156348,2015-08-24,33574330,Julie,"Extremely friendly and welcoming hosts with a house in the part of Austin with the most eclectic mix of cafes, shops and businesses.  Room is very comfortable.  "
716644,49929098,2015-10-07,31986816,Joshua,"Stephanie and her husband were excellent hosts for this location.  I received a very warm welcome, and were nothing but friendly during my entire visit.

The bed and bathroom had a very elegant and pleasant setup.  There were several thoughtful details added such as a sealed bottle of water to have for the bedroom, and the shower included travel sized soap and shampoo.  In the morning, the kitchen was always clean and prepped to make french press coffee, complete with banana nut bread to start the day.

While my schedule was rather busy during my visit, it was these details and considerations that made staying here very pleasant.  I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable place of comfort and kindness."
716644,50344654,2015-10-11,11491394,Eddie,"It was a real pleasure to stay here - the house and room were beautiful, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom amenities were great. I was so thankful that there was the Schwinn Cruiser available - huge bonus and lifesaver since I was without a car, and it was an excellent way to see the city.

Bill was extremely helpful (Stephanie couldn't be there during my stay), and the dog, Mr. Gitts, was super friendly and cute."
5404946,28103851,2015-03-17,9389839,Philip,"Communication upfront was easy, direct and fast. 
Arrival and key handover the same.
Really easy going and no trouble in any way. Would recommend to others who are looking to stay in Austin!
Thanks!!"
5404946,30908399,2015-04-28,12282189,Vitaly,"The room is exact, as described, located in the beautiful green and calm place, and lot of spots is in the walking distance. Emily is a very friendly and attentive host, may recommend her place for sure. "
5404946,33193827,2015-05-25,33739613,Nina,"Me and my best friend had a wonderful time! Emily was a great host who gave us wonderful recommendations as newcomers to Austin!! She was very welcoming and immediately showed us around when we walked through the door. Her apartment was very clean and Emily provided us with everything we needed (towels, breakfast, separate keys, ...and flash tattoos!). Additionally, Emily lives within walking distance to downtown via South Congress which was so cool! What a wonderful time :) I highly recommend Emily!"
5404946,47901706,2015-09-21,20522369,Hillary,"Emily's house is a cozy, zen place near St Ed's - a quick ride to downtown and nice walk to some great SoCo spots. Emily is a lovely hostess, friendly and has great communication. "
5438680,28326891,2015-03-22,6733719,Adam,"From start to finish Annie was a phenomenal host. Great to communicate and assist with every need. 

The home was in the perfect location for our needs and the newly renovated space provided us with all the comforts of being in our own home.

Two thumbs up! Five out of five stars! Thanks again for everything, Annie!"
5438680,29746562,2015-04-12,28293420,Adam,"Annie was a great host, she provided us with the needed information and gave us some extra suggestions for things to do in the area. The house was very clean, spacious, well presented and nearby to great food and bars. Great experience!"
5438680,31998332,2015-05-12,32273587,Samantha,This house is so charming and comfortable! Six of us stayed here for 4 days and we have been talking about it since we came home. They way it's decorated is great. Annie is also low maintenance and very helpful.  I recommend this place 110% percent.
5438680,33127587,2015-05-25,28338480,Scott,Great home in a convenient location. Great ease of access and host made getting in the rental extremely easy.
5438680,34365230,2015-06-07,16243543,Eva,We loved the house!
5438680,35159801,2015-06-15,35110610,James,Great location. Clean and well kept. Had a great time. 
5438680,37887163,2015-07-11,22483444,Pam,"The house was very nice and just like the pictures  -- really well done, very nicely updated and decorated kind of 70's retro (brought back memories).  I stayed with my family for 5 nights and we really enjoyed the house.  It was very comfortable with plenty of room.  Though at first the neighborhood looked a little rough, our concern was  short lived (the neighbor in front was very nice and friendly) and we felt safe.  The location is  very good -- just off 6th street but on the east side; quick access to downtown.  HEB is a half block, the brewery a block and the lake a 5 minute jog.  Annie was very easy to contact and very personable.  We had a small issue with the cable and she was quick to respond and help us out.  "
5438680,39126126,2015-07-20,38618771,Rob,"The listing was very accurate, the place was even nicer than in the photos and despite booking at very short notice Annie was extremely accommodating and helpful. The neighbourhood is nice and quiet and still close to everything we needed."
5438680,39821369,2015-07-26,14552713,David,"This place was terrific. The location is wonderful, 1/2 a block from groceries and a really cool brewery just around the corner from there. The house was great, a perfect place to reprieve after a long day on the water or a night out."
5438680,44077721,2015-08-23,42019898,Robert,The place was just as listed and looks just like the photos. The home has many brand new appliances. It was also very nice to have a grocery store within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay again.
5438680,46738501,2015-09-13,40396086,Stephanie,Annie was very easy to reach and responded right away. The house is in an awesome location with a very affordable rate. I would definitely rent this house again the next time I'm in Austin with a group.
5438680,47712775,2015-09-21,15998317,Karim,"This house is great, spacious, comfortable and clean in a quiet but well-located neighborhood, with the nice deck a definite plus. It was even better than the pictures made it look. Annie left extensive instructions and recommendations for activities around the neighborhood and left nothing unanswered. Would surely stay here again if (or rather when) I'm back in Austin. Definitely a great experience."
5438680,48693931,2015-09-28,6797840,Christian,"Annie has a fantastic home and having a nice place to stay really made for a great trip.  The house is one block from the hop-on hop-off city bikes which made getting into town really easy.

The neighbourhood has some really fantastic BBQ and nightlife and was very easy to get to from the airport. 

The house itself is extremely comfortable and beautifully furnished. It has lovely character inside and looks like it has just been refurbished so everything is in great shape. We would recommend staying here!"
5438680,49592287,2015-10-05,23845985,Oscar,"What an amazing weekend, the location of the house is prime.  The house accommodated us just fine.  The neighborhood felt like my home town, very safe no problems at all.  Hope to rent from you again in the future, if you will allow it."
5438680,50428684,2015-10-12,8638503,Arthur,"Stayed during ACL, would recommend this home because it's very spacious and feels like a home away from home.  10 minutes away to both the airport and 6th street.  1 block from supermarket. Listing is accurate and provides all essentials you need.  Would definitely stay again."
5438680,51173239,2015-10-18,42388690,Nathan,"Annie's house was spacious and clean with plenty of beds, amenities, etc. for a group of 5. The location is great as it provides easy access to many bars and restaurants in the very flavorful E. Austin area. J. Mueller's legendary BBQ joint is around the corner. HEB supermarket is a block away. Walk to downtown is 25 minutes, with plenty of interesting stops along the way.

We found the covered carport to be very useful -- we fitted two cars into the enclosed space, shielded from street view.

Annie is responsive and helpful when we needed her. I definitely recommend this house if your group is visiting Austin."
5438680,51881035,2015-10-25,6297655,Adam,"Annie...all I can say is I couldn't have found a better host or a better house for the weekend.  As luck had it, we enjoyed 20"" of rain during out 2.5 days visit to Austin and was not able to enjoy the outside facilities of the house, but our time spent in the house was comfortable and well equipped.  No complaints from any of the guests and the amount of communication and very gracious hosting by Annie really went above and beyond what any of us expected.  Highly recommended!"
